Religious feeling is as much a verity as any other part of human consciousness; and against it, on the subjective side, the waves of science beat in vain.
—John Tyndall, Science and Man (1863)
2012 has been a tough year for science. It took a direct hit in Italy, escaped, temporarily, in North Carolina and had a minor set back in Virginia. It was an especially tough time for scientific soothsayers in Italy and North Carolina. In Italy they’re off to prison and in North Carolina they’re muzzled.
Italy proves that soothsaying can be as hazardous as the perils it predicts. In that country the fate of six soothsayers and one government official was decided by a judge on October 22, 2012, four hours following the conclusion of a 13-month trial. The case pertained to the failure of the 7 men to accurately predict the April 6, 2009 earthquake in L’Aquila in central Italy.
Six days before the L’Aquila earthquake struck, Italy’s National Commission for the Forecast and Prevention of Major Risks held a meeting in L’Aquila at which the 7 men were in attendance. Ernest Boschi, the former head of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, and one of the men convicted in the trial, was asked if the tremors that had been occurring in L’Aquila during the preceding several months presaged an earthquake similar to the 1703 earthquake that had devastated the town. In response to the question Dr. Boschi said: “It is unlikely that an earthquake like the one in 1703 could occur in the short term, but the possibility cannot be totally excluded.” That meeting and comments made by the scientists reassured an anxious public and evacuation plans were abandoned. Dr. Boschi was right to say the possibility could not be excluded. The earthquake came 6 days later, measured 5.8 on the Richter scale and resulted in 300 deaths, 1500 people injured, 80,000 made homeless and extensive property damage. Following their trial and conviction the seven men were sentenced to six years in prison and ordered to pay 7.8 million Euros. The case is now on appeal.

Long before that case was decided, North Carolina began considering what could properly be called a Scientific Soothsayer Protection Act known as House Bill 819. When first introduced, and until amended in July 2012, it outlawed soothsaying in determining future sea level rises although the goal had nothing to do with protecting scientists from lawsuits in case they got it wrong.
When scientists begin projecting what the sea level will be along the North Carolina coast by 2100, the Coastal Resources Commission of North Carolina issued a report that was based on computer models and came up with the troubling projection that the state should plan for a rise in the sea level of 39 inches by 2100, a rise considerably greater than what would have been projected based solely on extrapolating from the rise that had taken place since the beginning of the 20th Century. The projection alarmed (a) developers who feared those projections would imperil development on the coast and (b) legislators who don’t believe in global warming. Accordingly, a bill was introduced entitled “Sea-level policy restrictions; calculation of rate of sea level rise.” The act said, among other things, that no “State agency, board, commission, institution, or other public entity thereof shall adopt any rule, policy, or planning guideline addressing sea-level rise, unless authorized to do so under this Article.” The article banned the named entities from considering the possibility that climate change might accelerate sea level rise saying the rates of rise could only be based on historical data post 1900. In July the legislature succumbed to ridicule. The language was changed. The reference to “calculation of rate of sea-level rise” was removed from the title and instead of an outright ban on using science to calculate sea level rise, the state regulatory agencies were not permitted to “define rates of sea-level change for regulatory purposes prior to July 1, 2016.” It further provides that in 2015 the Commission “Shall compare the determination of sea level based on historical calculations versus predictive models.” That apparently levels the playing field between science and history.
Virginia is our third example. It commissioned a $50,000 study- to examine the question of sea level rise. It did not want the study to become controversial, however, so in commissioning the study it avoided using words that are inflammatory. The request for the study does not refer to “climate change” or “sea level rise” because says Chris Stolle, the sponsor of the study, those are “liberal code words.” He said that “sea level rise” is a “left-wing term’ that conjures up animosities on the right.” Mr. Stolle is also quoted as saying the jury is still out on whether or not humans have an impact on global warming. Instead of using the offensive words the legislature’s request refers to “coastal resiliency,” “recurrent flooding,” and “increased flooding risk.” Those are words filled with meaning for victims of Hurricane Sandy in New York and New Jersey.
Outside observers may think Virginia and North Carolina are a bit of a backwater. They’re probably right. However, no scientists in either state have been sentenced to prison for their scientific endeavors. Yet.

This item by Bob Wyatt, the Book Review Editor for Stand To! from 1987 to 2017, appeared in Stand To! No. 27 1989.
On the night of 19 January 1915 ... three Zeppelins set off on the first air raid by airships over Britain. Engine failure caused one to turn back but the other two reached England. They had intended to attack the North-East coast but navigation at the time was so uncertain that they both made landfall at a point just north of Great Yarmouth on the Norfolk coast. In the dark, numbed with the long exposure to the cold, by the light of a flare and with the aid only of a map, one of the commanders decided that he was over the Norfolk coast and set off to the south to attack Yarmouth. He dropped a number of light incendiary bombs and some 110 lb explosive bombs. Quite a few of them failed to go off, but the one that fell on the St Peter's district led to the deaths of an elderly spinster and a shoemaker—the first English casualties resulting from an air raid. Their death certificates give the cause of death as being caused by 'explosion due to bomb from hostile aircraft'. The other Zeppelin went north after crossing the coast. Its commander was not so clever, as throughout the whole raid, in which he followed the coast round past Cromer and down the Wash to King's Lynn, he thought he was over Scarborough!
Bombs were dropped on the way, and the lights of King's Lynn pointed the way to a target. The Chief Constable was a little behind in ordering the electrician to extinguish the street lighting and the Zeppelin homed in, dropping bombs on the closely- packed streets of terraced houses. Two people were killed here too, a twenty-six year old war widow and a fourteen year old boy. Their deaths were recorded as resulting from 'the effects of the acts of the King's enemies'. They were all poor people and I have not been able to trace any gravestones or memorials for them, so when we think of those who died in the war, can we just spare a moment for the victims of the first air raid: Percy Goate (14), Alice Maud Gazley (26) from King's Lynn and Samuel Alfred Smith (53) and Martha Mary Taylor (72) from Great Yarmouth.
The sites of the raid on King's Lynn have been long-since cleared and are now temporary car parks awaiting the inevitable intrusion of office blocks; original photographs show the extent of the considerable damage that was caused by the comparatively crude missiles of the time. Great Yarmouth, although very badly damaged during the last war, gives a little scope for 'then and now' treatment, and one of the much-photographed buildings at the time was rebuilt in the original style and now sports a memorial plaque.

The much awaited and controversial GST bill is considered as a huge amendment in the tax collection system of our country. It is said to be the greatest reform since the implementation of LPG policy by the Congress-led UPA Government in 1991. LPG was Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization policy of India to open its gate for the international buyers and sellers. It was supposed to be difficult for state governments to adopt but Assam becomes the first state in India to ratify the Constitution Amendment Bill on Goods and Service Tax (GST) after the Assam assembly passed it unanimously.
The state cabinet of Assam has approved GST on Friday morning before it was placed in the House during the ongoing assembly session.
Soon after the passing of the Bill, Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal tweeted that, “A historic resolution was passed in the assembly on Friday. Assam became the first state to ratify the constitutional amendment bill relating to the GST. I am sure Assam will benefit from the GST through higher economic growth and better revenue collection.”
Sonowal informed the media that Prime Minister congratulated the Government on the passing of the Bill in a phone call with him. It was the desire and dream of CM to be the first Indian state to pass the GST bill to send a positive message to the industry as informed by Finance Minister Himanta Biswa Sharma.
“It is a historic occasion for the state to be the first to pass this bill. I thank the Speaker (Ranjit Kumar Das) for allowing us to introduce it as we informed him on Thursday night,” said Sharma, while introducing the bill on behalf of CM.
The opposition in Assam along with all the MLAs has also supported the bill in Assembly.
As the provision says, Constitution (122nd Amendment) Bill for GST was passed by the Lok Sabha on Monday, with the consent of 443 members of the House. The deadline for the rollout of the GST is April 1, 2017.
It is said that at least 50 percent of the states have to pass what the Constitution (One Hundred and Twenty-Second Amendment) Bill, 2014, for the next phase of legislative action to follow, to ultimately introduce pan-India Goods and Services Tax regime in the country.
This new regime will begin with a combined and collective tax collection of central indirect levies like excise duty, countervailing duty and service tax, as also state taxes such as value added tax (VAT), entry tax and luxury tax, to create a single, pan-India market.

Biotransformation of ferulic acid to 4-vinyl guaiacol by Lactobacillus farciminis
Continuously growing demand for natural flavors has led to a tremendous increase in biotransformation process employing microorganisms of different genera using ferulic acid (FA) as the precursor. In this study, potential of Lactobacillus farciminis (ATCC 29644) for biotransformation of FA to 4-vinyl guaiacol (4VG) was investigated. 4-vinyl guaiacol is a volatile phenol, reported to have 40 fold higher economic value than FA and is biotransformable to acetovanillone, ethylguaiacol and vanillin. Biotransformation process started after 5 h incubation of L. farciminis with FA in Man Regosa and Sharpe (MRS) broth at 37°C under 5% CO2. Production rate was observed at its maximum after 48 h. Formed 4VG was identified by GC-MS (QQQ) and quantification was done by HPLC UV-Vis. The impact of initial concentrations of FA and bacteria on the production of 4VG was studied. The results indicate that the production of 4VG is significantly affected by initial concentration of FA, and empirically 1, 15 and 50 mg/l of FA yielded 0, 3.34 and 10.26 mg/l of 4VG, respectively. The findings are a milestone towards safe high yielding means of biotransforming some common agro-industrial wastes to a value added product.
Key words: Lactobacillus farciminis, ferulic acid, 4-vinyl guaiacol, biotransformation.

"Sensible Sentences for Nonviolent Offenders"
The title of this post is the headline of this New York Times editorial. Here are excerpts:
The enormous strain prison costs put on state budgets has led some conservatives and liberals to do something sensible together. Democrats and Republicans in several states are pushing to reform criminal justice policies based on strong evidence that imprisoning nonviolent offenders for ever longer terms adds huge costs with little benefit to public safety.
Texas closed a prison last year, for the first time in its history, after reducing its prison population by steering nonviolent drug offenders to treatment and adopting other policies. South Carolina and Mississippi eased eligibility standards for parole. South Carolina, Alabama, Arkansas and other states have raised the dollar amount that triggers felony property crimes....
Offenders released in 2009 from state prisons served, on average, almost three years behind bars, nine months longer than those released in 1990. A new study by the Pew Center on the States reports that additional time in prison costs states more than $10 billion. More than half the extra cost was for nonviolent offenders.
The study also found that earlier release for nonviolent offenders would not have jeopardized public safety based on an analysis of arrest and incarceration data from Florida, Maryland and Michigan. Risk could be further reduced with better prerelease planning and strong community supervision. After decades of lengthening sentences, state leaders are realizing that it is possible to cut sentences and prison spending without harming the public.

The post immediately before this one is proof enough that absence of violence in no way equals absence of harm, and that sufficient harm can warrant a long prison sentence indeed.
Unless one holds the view that Messrs. Stanford, Madoff, et al. earned no jail time whatever. Any takers?
P.S. You gotta love how the NYT very, very quietly equates "non-violent" with "non-harmful."

Doug, thanks again for the reference to the Times article. I will put it with my collection of exhibits illustrating Justice Kennedy's interjurisdictional comparison step for as applied Eighth Amendment challenges. Just yesterday, I presented the articles you have previously posted to a judge in Asheville, during a hearing on whether a sentence of thirteen years without parole was grossly disproportionate to the offense of possession of one half of a gram of cocaine.
Bill Otis, a couple weeks ago, you expressed some doubt about whether judges would respond to my Eighth amendment challenges. I've already had three cases in which sentences have been vacated on cruel and unusual punishment grounds for possession of small amounts of cocaine. More generally, I would say that judges are responding to enactment of the Justice Reinvestment Act by taking some of the control over sentences by prosecutors back, by doing such things as consolidating sentences, finding mitigating factors, etc. Just last Tuesday, a judge said that "a class C sentence under the habitual felon act is a big lick for commission of a class H felony." My favorite comment is by a judge who said, "It is inconceivable to me that the legislature intended me to impose a class C sentence for possessing one tenth of a gram of cocaine." Prosecutors have gone wild in coercing pleas through the hammer of the structured sentencing law and I think judges are starting to push back.

Thanks for the update. Two questions: Are you referring to state or federal judges, and has the government indicated whether it intends to appeal?
Posted by: Bill Otis | Jun 15, 2012 3:20:01 PM
bill, state judges, all three successful challenges were to long sentences for possession of cocaine, less than a gram. I'm relying primarily on statements made by Justice Kennedy in the opening section of his opinion in Graham v Florida. He lays out the basics of Eighth Amendment jurisprudence. It is now clearly established that excessive length can constitute cruel and unusual punishment, Justice Scalia and Thomas' opinion to the contrary.
What is happening that I think is driving this is Judge's frustration with long sentences for the lowest class of felony in the face of an ongoing budget crisis.
I have not been arguing that the newly enacted Justice Reinvestment Act is retroactive, rather that it is illustrative of "evolving standards of decency."

That's just brilliant, CCDC. Really. Nobody knew that if you end a government program, you'll save the money spent on that program. Golly, you should write the President.
Posted by: Bill Otis | Jun 16, 2012 7:41:26 AM
I can't wait, David. Tell us about all the good things the DEA does on behalf of Americans. No wait, that's too difficult. Tell us even ONE useful thing it does (apart, of course, from providing jobs for platoons of cowboy cops on a perpetual adrenaline binge).
I'm often grateful for CCDC's posts. He has a pulse. He speaks passionately for what he sees as just causes. So does Bill Otis...from the dark side.
From what I've seen, much of the rest of the law profession is comprised of docile functionaries who quietly accept heavy-handed, ideologically conservative rulings from overly politicized courts.
Hardly an ounce of healthy rebelliousness exists in a pack that seems endlessly fascinated by and ever eager to parse procedural niceties and arcane technicalities in dubious laws crafted by ass-clown politicians. But only rarely does it seem moved to grapple openly with what's just and what's not.
BTW,Bill: Medicaid provides health care for people who otherwise couldn't afford it. The Forest Service preserves scarce, vulnerable natural resources. Drug rehab programs try to rescue people who've succumbed to addictions. So again the question: what equally praiseworthy thing does the DEA do? Please don't say it keeps kids from taking drugs because I think we know that's not true. Education has always been a more effective tool than Enforcement on that score.
Posted by: John K | Jun 16, 2012 10:20:05 AM
John K --
"...what equally praiseworthy thing does the DEA do?"
Suppress drug use. This is not all that hard to figure out. When using X (drugs or anything else) costs more and imposes unpleasant risks and consequences, less of X will get used.
Say what you care to about dope. When less meth, Ecstasy, LSD, heroin and cocaine get used, and when abuse of legal but powerful drugs gets curbed by prosecuting venal distributors, there will be less damage from these things, including fewer lives ruined by addiction and fewer overdose deaths.
I had not previously known that you favor the legalization of hard drugs, and I'm not quite sure from your post that you do, although that's the logical implication from the notion that the DEA should be disbanded. Do you favor legalization of everything? If not, who do you think will enforce such anti-drug laws as you approve of?
Posted by: Bill Otis | Jun 16, 2012 3:24:16 PM
Small problem. In 95% of cases, the adjudicated charge is fictional, as a lot of lawyer doctrines are. Those prisoners labelled as non-violent may well be vicious predators. Only the indictment charges should be used to classify prisoners prior to release. They have the wrong guy 20% of the time, but at least they will not be false 95% of the time as the adjudicated charges are.
Posted by: Supremacy Claus | Jun 16, 2012 11:54:50 PM
There you go again, Bill. Heroine and meth predate the Nixon Administration, which spawned the DEA as part of its war on the culture.
So favoring doing away with this not just worthless but destructive and inept agency (the war IS in its 41st year and America's appetite for drugs is still going strong) hardly amounts to an argument for legalizing hard drugs.
Posted by: John K | Jun 17, 2012 11:15:40 AM
John K --
If hard drugs are to remain criminal, as you apparently (and correctly) agree that they should, then either the DEA or something with DEA's same mission will continue to exist -- and continue to do the good work of suppressing the consumption of those drugs, and the misery, addiction and overdose deaths that come with them.
P.S. DEA was merely the successor to the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (BNDD), which was formed in the Johnson Administration. Nice try, though.
Posted by: Bill Otis | Jun 17, 2012 3:40:03 PM
Bill: Small problem. The most addictive and lethal drugs are legal.
Smoke 50 cigarettes in your life, there is an excellent chance of a lifetime addiction. Cigarettes kill 400,000 in the most hideous fashions.
The same is true of alcohol, which kills 100,000. Half the murder victims, the murderers, and the suiciders are legally drunk, as well. Alcohol is the single biggest source of crime and mental illness. Eliminate alcohol, cut their rates in half immediately.
One suspects the DEA and the War on Drugs are another lawyer rent seeking scheme, worthless to the taxpayer, but continued at the point of a gun. (Try not paying your taxes to keep those lazy, coffee swilling government worthless workers in salary, and a man with a gun will show up to help you pay the taxes.)
Posted by: Supremacy Claus | Jun 17, 2012 6:34:10 PM
"The most addictive and lethal drugs are legal."
Assuming this to be true, it is hardly a reason to make yet additional addictive and lethal drugs more widely consumed, as they would be if they were legal. It is, to the contrary, a reason to be more determined to keep them illegal.
Posted by: Bill Otis | Jun 17, 2012 10:17:03 PM
Bill: That is an empirical question. Each legalization should be tested and measured in a small jurisdiction, and retested in several larger ones, before going national. I am proposing the testing of all laws and requiring proof that they are safe and effective, and that the unintended negative consequences are tolerable.
For example, what if it is found that legal and widely used marijuana reduces crime (in contrast to alcohol), reduces driving fatalities because people are too lethargic to go out, and also reduces the smoking of cancer producing cigarettes? What if it is found that legalization has unintended consequences of reducing the murder rate in Mexico, and of drying up the funding of the Drug Cartel, and of the Taliban? In Mexico, the economy would boom without the high crime rate (most likely stemming from even greater over lawyering than in the US). More Mexicans could go to Walmart and enrich the US stock holder, as an unintended benefit.

Bill Otis can and should decide, along with his doctors, what drugs he knowingly and voluntarily consumes.
Bill Otis and his fellow buddies in the government have no business whatsoever deciding what drugs I knowingly and voluntarily put in my body.
It's pretty fricking simple.

"Bill Otis and his fellow buddies in the government have no business whatsoever deciding what drugs I knowingly and voluntarily put in my body."
The Supreme Court (Stevens, J.) has determined the question against you, and the public overwhelmingly supports continued criminalization of hard drugs.
P.S. I'm not in the government. I teach a law class at Georgetown.
P.P.S. Two of the three dissenting Justices in Raich are no longer on the Court, having been replaced by Justices (Roberts and Alito) who almost certainly would vote with the majority, meaning that the pro-pot side would lose that case today by 8-1 instead of 6-3.

In 1834, Abraham Truax, his wife Jane Scott, and 13 of their 16 children left Farnham, Quebec and headed for Kent County, near Point Pelee in southwestern Ontario. In their original Ontario land petition, they gave the reason why:
"That your Petitioner with a wife and 13 children have been compelled to emmigrate from the Lower Province, in consequence of the death of his son aged 24, who was killed or rather murdered by one, who was tried for the offence and sentenced to a long imprisonment, but which sentence was mitigated, and the offender was at large to the great inquietude of your Petitioner and his family - who in consequence have been compelled to abandon their former residence and seek Asylum in this province, should your Petitioner be fortunate enough in succeeding in the prayer of his Petition."William Archer Truax was born March 13th, 1810 in Dunham, Quebec, the third of Abraham and Jane's 16 children. On January 11th, 1834, the Montreal Gazette reported that "A respectable farmer, residing in Stanbridge, named William Truax, was, on the 1st instant, stabbed with a knife, by one Archelaus Walsh [sic], Jr. of the same place, and almost immediately expired. His assassin has escaped, and has been subsequently seen armed with a gun and pistol." Walsh (Welch) was later reported to have been helped by family members to flee to New Hampshire, but he returned to Quebec in the hopes that he would be allowed to remain free on bail until his trial. This turned out not to be the case, and he was placed in custody on January 25th.
(Sept. 25th, 1834)
Welch was brought up before the Grand Jury in Montreal on March 3rd, and several witnesses testified to the events of that night. Apparently William, the victim, had gone looking for Welch for the express purpose of berating him over his having beaten another man. He found Welch at a local tavern and launched into a verbal attack. When things got a little too heated, William tried to smooth things over by buying a round. Welch refused, and threatened to call the law on William. Soon after this, the fight became physical, and William was stabbed in the belly, either by accident, in self-defence, or intentionally. Welch tried to leave, but someone caught up to him, knocked the knife from his hand and brought him back to the tavern, where William lay dying. Welch appeared remorseful and begged for William's forgiveness, which he apparently received.
The Attorney General agreed to reduce the charge from murder to manslaughter. Archelaus Welch was found guilty, and on March 10th, 1834, he was sentenced to six months in jail. However, in their petition, William's parents claimed that this sentence was 'mitigated' (probably on appeal) and that Welch was set free. Given the circumstances, this is entirely possible.

To start this post, I looked for a quote about perfectionism. I found one that’s perfect.
“Perfectionism is self-abuse of the highest order.” — Anne Wilson Schaef
I’m a little bit of a perfectionist, and a teeny-tiny bit obsessive-compulsive. I’m also probably a little bit bipolar, but that’s a (painful) topic for another post.
So when I say I’m a perfectionist, what do I mean?
I don’t like doing something if I can’t do it right. “Good enough” is almost never good enough. When I’m working on a project, I don’t just spit it out and move on. I obsessive over it, continuously tweaking and adjusting, as reluctant to give it up as an oyster with its pearl.
This isn’t to say that I’m perfect. It doesn’t even mean I’m necessarily good at the things I try. It just means that when something isn’t right, I hang on and stress over it way longer than I should.
And I know that a lot of people say that they’re perfectionists when they aren’t. Maybe I’m one of those people. But if you ask my wife if I’m a perfectionist, she’ll probably say yes, and then point at my side of the closet.
So how does that influence my writing?
For starters, it makes my writing slower. I get hung up on the little things. I obsess longer than I should over things that just don’t matter.
The worst thing, though, is that I have a tendency to edit while I’m still working on the first draft.
On the positive side, my first drafts come out very clean. Many people have read my first drafts and told me that they thought it was a second or third draft. That seems good, except that all first drafts are crap, mine included. I still need to go back and edit everything I do. If I just waited to edit my work until the entire first draft was done, I would have greater perspective on the things that need editing, and the whole process would be faster.
I have a powerful inner editor. It’s more like an inner demon, especially when I’m being particularly perfectionist. Nothing healthy ever comes from being a perfectionist with a first draft. Only unnecessary stress, and then feelings of guilt when the project is slow, and falls behind expected goals.
This is one of the reasons that NaNoWriMo is awesome. When I participated in NaNoWriMo last year, I got behind. The perfectionist editor inside my head kept on chattering as I was plugging along, making me go back and fix tiny things that could be fixed later. The editor kept hounding me, deep into the month of November… and then stopped. I reached a point where if I was going to finish the project, I had to get words on the page, no matter the quality. NaNoWriMo forced me to abandon perfectionism, if only for a few days.
If you are a perfectionist and you’re looking at starting a story, find a way to silence that part of you long enough to get the first draft done. I know that it’s easier said than done. I’ve only been able to do it a few times, but when I’ve done it, I’ve managed to finish stories. Do whatever you need to in order to get the first draft out of your head and onto the page. Bribe yourself. Trick yourself. Keep telling yourself that you can be a perfectionist on the next draft, which is the truth. There’s time for making it perfect later.
Most importantly, be kind to yourself. I know that when I turn a scrutinizing eye towards myself, I can be quite vicious. Being a perfectionist with writing is an avenue to self torture, and it won’t make you produce work any faster, or of any higher quality. So don’t do that.
And if you know how, please share with me.

Lowestoft Town 1 Worcester City 1
- Credit: James Bass
Jake Reed's last-gasp strike salvaged a point to move Lowestoft Town a step closer to safety in the Conference North.
The Blues hit-man struck in the third minute of injury time to rescue a draw after Daniel Nti had given Worcester City the lead midway through the second half.
Reed's goal sparked joyous celebrations but these soon turned sour when Worcester goalkeeper, Nathan Vaughan, and Rossi Jarvis grappled on the floor prompting a 20-man melee.
Referee Anthony Da Costa handled the situation well and, once calm had been restored, gave both Vaughan and Jarvis their marching orders.
The draw puts Lowestoft on to 44 points, seven outside of the relegation zone, ahead of Monday's trip to struggling Leamington.
You may also want to watch:
Lowestoft were almost caught cold in the second minute when Tristan Dunkley latched on to Ellis Deeney's long throw-in but his first-time effort slammed into the side-netting.
The let-off appeared to galvanise the Blues though and Reed came within inches of opening the scoring in the sixth minute but Lee Smith's cross just couldn't quite pick out the Lowestoft hit-man.

With Robert Eagle pulling the strings in midfield Lowestoft carried more of an attacking threat and the former Norwich City man was involved in a flowing move which ended with Reed's goalbound volley being superbly blocked by Jacob Rowe.
Only Deeney was impressing for the visitors, who retreated further and further as the half progressed. Adam Smith's quick-thinking almost caught Worcester goalkeeper, Vaughan, out when his 40-yard free-kick flew just wide when everyone was expecting a cross.
But the best chance of the half came five minutes before the break when a lovely interchange between Reed and Eagle, saw the latter go through on goal but his left-footed effort was too close to the goalkeeper and Vaughan was able to palm his shot away.
Lowestoft completely lost their tempo in the second half and Worcester hit the front in the 68th minute when Nti headed home Vaughan's free-kick from inside their own half.
Nti almost repeated the trick a minute later but headed just over the bar from Joao Sousa's cross whilst Mike Symons came close to extending the visitors' advantage with a shot from the edge of the area that Ashlee Jones tipped round the post.
But Lowestoft rallied in the closing stages and rescued a point late on thanks to that man Reed. Vaughan couldn't claim Lee Smith's free-kick into the penalty area and when the ball rolled to Reed he made no mistake from eight yards.
A melee ensued as Jarvis and Vaughan tangled on the ground as players from both sides got involved. When order was restored both Jarvis and Vaughan were given their marching orders.

The dust has settled now at the Westgate Mall in Nairobi. I am not going to list the numbers of dead or expand upon the horror of it all; it is an all too common occurrence for there to be anything significant to add. I won’t give you a detailed explanation of who al-Shabab is; one can tune in to CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera or Russia Today for the spectrum of views on that.
I rather want to ask a simple question: Does terrorism actually work? Do terrorists achieve anything significant and enduring or are they simply angry little bullies who are seemingly incapable of affecting constructive and lasting change in any other meaningful way?
Terror attacks are an attempt to project power. They gather publicity for a cause; to get a seat at a table and to give an agenda some air time on global media. A terrorist, freedom fighter or indoctrinated murderer, depending on your viewpoint, is a peculiar animal that believes that his or her socio-political vision for the future supersedes your right to life. They believe that your death is worth a few minutes of coverage on a major TV channel. You are cheap meat, a number, a means to an end.
There is, however, an intractable problem with the methods employed by the agents of terror: this special brand of lunacy is far too common and becoming more so over the past decade. Oddly increasing incidence of terror attacks is, in my opinion, weakening terrorism as a force for change.
On any one day, bombs go off in Iraq, police are shot in Afghanistan, shopping malls are attacked, trains are bombed, car bombs are planted and detonated and so the cycle repeats. A fascinating tool to understand this madness is available here at the University of Maryland. They have compiled data from every terrorist attack since 1970 in every country on the planet totalling a disconcerting 98 000 discrete events. The database does not include failed plots and already we average a staggering 8.66 events per day between 1970 and 2011! We should all be too scared to leave the house.
Further pottering about on this absorbing chart reveals some other interesting info. Here are some of my highlights:
• Terrorists love to attack civilians. The top 3 targets in descending order are private citizens, businesses and then general government. Military and police targets come in 4th and 5th respectively presumably since they might actually fight back.
• South Asia (mainly India, Pakistan and Afghanistan) experiences more incidents of terrorism than the Middle East (up to and including 2007 – I suspect this may have changed by 2013). South and Central America dominated this category in the 1980’s and early 1990’s while Western Europe surprisingly dominated the 1970’s with the highest rates terror activity in the world.
• Methods used for terrorist attacks seem fairly constant over the past three decades. The most popular technique for inflicting terror is and always has been bombing followed closely by armed attack and assassination. Assassination has plummeted in popularity after being quite common from the 1970’s through to the mid 1990’s.
• The overall number of incidents globally rose quite linearly from a low of around 600 events per year in 1970 to a peak of over 5 000 events per year in the early 1990’s. They then plummeted dramatically to average around 1 200 events per year between 1996 and 2001 before rising sharply again to over 5 500 events per year in 2007.
A notable level of terror fatigue has developed in response to the increasing number of incidents since 2001. Endless bombings and shootings all seem to blend into one. The market is flooded with acts of terror and the merchants are many. It now takes a spectacular effort just to get noticed in the world of insurgency and mayhem.
I would therefore argue that terror as a tactic to achieve an outcome is becoming an increasingly ineffective tool. The fact is that terror seldom benefits the terrorist individual or group that actuates it in the long term. Did Bin Laden or al-Qaeda benefit from 9/11? They got a few years of fame and a war they thought they wanted until it erased their broad support, uprooted their base of operations, dismantled their command structures, disabled their ability to communicate as an organisation, wiped out their leadership culminating in the brazen assassination of Osama Bin Laden and drove them deep into the Afghan caves.
The al-Qaeda core is now defunct, forced to project their world view through a sketchy online rag called Inspire Magazine and a few angry little “franchises”. The current leader, Ayman Al-Zawahiri, regularly begs ideologically aligned strangers to pick up and carry on with what they are no longer able to do themselves. Their acts of extreme terror provoked a response that greatly diminished their ability to project their world view.
9/11 was possibly the biggest terror event witnessed in the modern era. Did it materially change anything in the hierarchy of Western world power at which it was aimed? Did the US fall? Did they leave the Middle East as al-Qaeda demanded or did they invade it? Is Al-Qaeda bigger or smaller a decade later? 9/11 sparked wars that destroyed al-Qaeda’s home bases, toppled an Islamic fundamentalist theocracy and a few dictatorships. The Middle East was thrown into turmoil from which has yet to recover but the world carried on and the oil flowed while al-Qaeda downsized and scuttled for cover.
If Hamas successfully strikes at Israel in a tactically meaningful way, Israel dismantles the organisation with targeted assassinations and surgical air strikes. After each act of terror, a weakened Hamas must rebuild and their world audience gets that little bit more jaded and bored with the incessant cycles of pointless and impotent rocket firing. Together with Hezbollah, Hamas are now little more than useful proxies for states like Iran needing someone to do their provoking for them.
The Japanese terror cult Aum Shinrikyo that gassed people with saran in a Tokyo subway in 1995 has pottered along since then amounting to nothing, under continuous surveillance and relegated to the fringes where they belong. Nobody really knows or cares what they stand for any more.
The Riyadus-Salikhin Battalion comprised of Ingush and Chechen separatists invaded a school in Beslan and in front of the world’s cameras they murdered hundreds of children. What has become of their agenda? Did they get their independence? Did murdering Russian children further or hamper their movement? Did Russia capitulate and invite them to reshape the politics of their region? No, Russian troops shot them all.
Al-Shabab, the perpetrators of the Kenyan mall attack are in the process of being reduced to a similar level of obscurity. Southern Somalia, once hospitable, is under attack by Kenyan forces from the south and by the Somali government from the north because al-Shabab got too active in the terror game. They have been driven from former bases in towns and cities and there is infighting between their commanders punctuated by assassinations and defections.
I suspect this mall attack is likely the last you will hear from al-Shabab on a large scale for a long time after the Western backed Kenyan backlash, which is now sure to come. Kenya’s Somali community was a huge source of funding which will now be immeasurably harder for al-Shabab to access. They can look forward to dwindling funds, a shortage of friends and predator drones that will revel in the fact that the leadership has been consolidated making a strike that much more lethal to the organisation.
One might, at this point, be tempted to point to examples of a positive outcome such as that of the ANC in South Africa. The ANC’s militant wing waged a campaign of terror, bombing civilians in bars and Wimpy outlets and now the political party is the ruling party. The KLA waged a terror campaign in Kosovo and elements of that organisation now rule the former Serbian province free of Serbian control.
In both cases, however, greater global events defined the final outcomes while the acts of terror impeded progress instead of helping it. The ANC rules South Africa because the Berlin wall fell and not because they killed holiday makers in Amanzimtoti or landmined rural roads. The KLA won Kosovo because Nato wanted to deprive Russia of an ally and place a military base in the ex Soviet periphery at a key time in the game of chess between those two powers. The IRA had to shelve their bombing and violence before progress could be made in Ireland and Britain is still there. Farc has been fighting in Colombia with no results for decades.
So why do these organisations persist when it is clear that murdering unarmed civilians simply does not reliably bring results? In most cases, it actually brings the opposite of results. It ensures a steady decline of the effectiveness and relevance of the organisation proportional to the magnitude of each passing act of violence. Who cares about Pagad? The Boeremag? The PLO? The Baader-Meinhoff group? Who even remembers them besides those who senselessly lost loved ones?
Terrorism is becoming anachronistic. Today’s audience has matured, evolved and hardened. People die on buses, in markets and on trains in elevated numbers but no significant, lasting change is affected. It is a tragedy for the individual which should not be minimised but society is largely unaffected, moved rather by global politics and the shifting of real power. The problem with resorting to terror is that should you actually prevail, you will need to come out of your hiding place and present yourself to the world. If you have committed acts that preclude you from doing this, the entire exercise seems rather futile.
Change will be forged via more powerful and more relevant means in the future. Economics. Smart manipulations of people’s attitudes on social media. Global communication. The democratic power of large numbers of people aligned in their thinking. Powerful individuals, NGOs and corporations with global reach, funding and political will. Science is changing the world. TED is changing the world. Khan Academy is changing the world. Facebook, Google, Apple, Space X and Whatsapp are meaningfully changing the world. Al-Shabab quite frankly is not.
The marginal and violent radical of the future will become easier and easier to isolate and track. To express one must connect. By connecting one leaves a trail. The larger the group, the bigger the footprint they leave and the target they present. The bigger the threat to a powerful entity, the bigger the proportional response will be. The bigger you get the harder it is to hide. Terrorism is self-limiting. The end of privacy may inconvenience the individual but it terrorises the terrorist.
While militant elements cling to their views and perform acts of terror, they can expect increasing isolation, marginalisation and a growing reduction in tolerance from those with real power. Al-Shabab, al-Qaeda, the Taliban, Boko Haram and Hamas are essentially groups of people who ultimately lack the creativity to affect change in a modern and meaningful manner. They achieve nothing besides sound-bite news and medium-scale home wrecking. These organisations have no strategically significant impact when you review the broad geopolitical picture. Are they players? Yes. At some level they spark dialogue and move armies. Can they force the outcome that they desire? Almost never.
Terrorist organisations find themselves at a crossroads; caught in a Catch22: to achieve change and further their agendas they need to provoke the great powers of the world. These powers are better equipped to deal a cheap and effective death blow to a terrorist group than ever before. Terrorists must oppose states like the US, Britain, Germany, Israel, India, Pakistan or Kenya with resources, armies, intelligence agencies, refined technologies and a mandate to rule. They will retaliate.
Treating people like livestock does not produce results it seems. One hopes that it might eventually occur to those that make a living out of the misery of others that it might be time to evolve a new set of strategies that actually work in our modern age.


Singapore water minister Vivian Balakrishnan opens Singapore-Delft Aquatic Science Centre
There is now a new research facility in Singapore where in-depth studies on urban freshwater management can be carried out on site. The Aquatic Science Centre (ASC) Sungei Ulu Pandan, the first such centre in Asia, was officially launched by the Singapore-Delft Water Alliance (SDWA), a research centre jointly supported by NUS, Singapore's national water agency PUB and Dutch research institute Deltares, on 6 July 2011.
Find solutions to keep catchments clean
At the opening ceremony, Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, Singapore Minister for the Environment and Water Resources said: "The Centre's research findings will help PUB develop sustainable solutions to keep our waterways and catchments clean and attractive. This is crucial for Singapore where two-thirds of our land area is now water catchment."
(From left) NUS President professor Tan Chorh Chuan, Singapore Minister Dr Vivian Balakrishnan,
Ambassador of the Netherlands to Singapore H E Johannes Jansing and
Managing Director of Deltares Mr Harry Baayen at the opening ceremony.
Applied research in Singapore and Delft
Elaborating on the facility's research work, NUS President Prof Tan Chorh Chuan said: "SDWA brings fundamental and applied research carried out at NUS and in Delft together with users of the research at PUB, who are largely shaping the SDWA research agenda. SDWA is one of those truly multi-disciplinary alliances which bring experts from diverse fields ranging from engineering to biology, chemistry to geography, public policy to environmental sciences."
Indor eco-toxicology laboratory
The S$6.4 million ASC is well-equipped with an indoor environmental and eco-toxicology laboratory for analysing environmental samples as well as a cutting-edge outdoor laboratory working space. It also boasts of a 95-metre long wave-like transparent roof, rain water collection and in-house waste water treatment capabilities.
Projects of SDWA, which is headed by Assoc Prof Vladan Babovic, include the 34-metre long bio-flume, an experimental channel able to model near-natural flow conditions and its impact on changes and variability in nutrient conditions. The bio-flume, Asia's first such channel, allows the speed of water to be adjusted and plants to grow, thus enabling discovery of the types of plants which can help mitigate floods while cleaning stormwater.
Besides state-of-the-art research laboratories, the Aquatic Science Centre also serves as a public education facility. And as an eco-friendly building, it was awarded the Green Mark for Buildings (GoldPlus) rating by the Building and Construction Authority of Singapore in May this year.

On Line Test System for Safety Valves
Swiss Approval Advanced NDT Laboratory, has put in place, and use specific technology for Testing of Safety Valves.
Such technology encompasses a comprehensive safety concept to safeguard the User, the Test Object (safety valve) and the Test System itself against damage. The inspection system is supported by specific Software, which generates reporting and maintains traceability of inspection activities.
The On Line Inspection System of Valves, enables Plant Managers to test the spring operated safety valves on site without interrupting the process operation. With this so called “hot testing” the safety valve stays on-line, and no dismantling of the valve or plant shut-down is required. The main advantages are:
- NO PLANT SHUT-DOWN
- NO DISMANTLING OF THE VALVE
- NO LOSS OF PRODUCTIVITY & PROFITABILITY
The system is a dedicated test system for on line / on site Safety Valve Testing. To test a safety valve on line or on site, the following tasks have to be dealt with:
- Lift the valves disk from the outside using a force generating unit
- Measure lifting force, disk lift and system pressure (line pressure) while lifting the disk.
- Control the lifting process
- Visualise, analyse, print and store measured values
Task 1 – Lifting the valve disk
The inspection System is using hydraulic mechanism to generate the lifting force. A hydraulic pump with an attached valve block is used to operate a hydraulic cylinder up and down. The pump and valves are built into the Power Box. The hydraulic cylinder is part of the Test Rig that has to be mounted onto the safety valve and connected with the safety valves spindle via an adapter system. To operate the hydraulic cylinder up and down two hoses lead from the Power Box towards the hydraulic cylinder.
Task 2 – Measure
Force, lift and line pressure as well as other parameters are measured directly with dedicated sensors. Force and lift sensor are attached to the Test Rig where as others are free to be mounted wherever suitable. All sensors are connected to the Electronic Subsystem, located inside the Power Box. The Electronic subsystem converts physical sensor signals into digital data and sends those via a data communication cable to the specific Software, running on a connected Computer.
Task 3 – Control
Pump and valves are controlled directly from the Software running on the connected specific computer. Every command as well as every hydraulic pressure adjustment, is generated from the Software itself, and send via a data communication cable to the Electronic inside the Power Box. The Electronic subsystem converts those data into physical signals, send to the pump and valves.
Task 4 – Analyse, visualise.
Visualisation, analysis as well as printing are handled by the Software running on the connected computer. Storage of recorded data is done in a specific database.
Typical System Graphs and Reporting
The graphs produced are genuine examples from conducted tests. They show typical results of test to be found in every day work. Based on the knowledge gained from the experience, the analysis is absolutely clear and free of doubt.
An Inspection report, containing all data used for each specific test, is saved in the system, and available upon request for review and verification.
Swiss Approval Laboratory Staff is working consistently to guaranty the maximum efficiency and reliability of our Testing Results.
Specific Calibration Valves for each kind of safety Valves and working pressure values, are designed and developed within our Laboratory, in order to build in house our Know-How, necessary for service delivery of excellence.
Such development of inspection resources and capacity represents for Swiss Approval Top Management, substantial commitments of time, high qualified personnel and significant capital investment.
Accreditation ISO 17025
Swiss Approval Advanced Laboratory based in Europe, is currently under ISO 17025 accreditation process.

EVANSTON-With 1:14 to play in the second half of Illinois' 62-41 beatdown of Northwestern on Sunday, the chants began to float down from the upper deck.
"Our state, our team," bellowed the sea of orange-clad Illinois students who made the trip from Champaign to Evanston.
On this night, anyway, they were right. Just a few days after Illinois announced a new campaign to try to capitalize on its proximity to Chicago, the Fighting Illini sent an emphatic statement to the school that claims to be "Chicago's Big Ten Team."
Just three days after a resilient performance against No. 13 Ohio State, the Wildcats were blown out of Welsh-Ryan in resounding fashion by a team that they had thumped by 14 in Champaign exactly one month earlier.
Yet it wasn't as if the Illini played a perfect game. Despite shooting 52 percent from the field in the second half, Illinois was just 8-for-15 from the free throw line and shot 30 percent (6-for-20) from beyond the arc. The Illini turned the ball over nine times and enjoyed just a plus-6 rebounding margin against Northwestern.
But while Illinois was hardly spectacular, Northwestern was nothing short of awful.
In a season marked by streaky shooting, the Wildcats wouldn't have hit Lake Michigan from Navy Pier against the Illini. When the Cats beat Illinois in Champaign, they shot 53.3 percent from 3-point range. On Sunday, Northwestern hit just 5-of-27 shots from beyond the perimeter.
The supposed leaders of this Northwestern team disappeared for long periods of time on Sunday, including a span of more than nine minutes when Illinois went on a 26-0 run to increase its lead from four to 30.
The man who finally broke the streak? It sure wasn't sophomore Dave Sobolewski, who shot 0-for-6 from the field and 0-for-5 from three. Nor was it Reggie Hearn or Tre Demps, who went a combined 6-for-22 from the floor.
Instead, it was junior James Montgomery III, who showed the most energy and hustle of any Northwestern player. But even he didn't shoot particularly well, finishing just 1-for-3, for two points.
It was so bad that two of Northwestern's starters -- Sobolewski and Mike Turner -- did not score, and four of the five were held scoreless until Kale Abrahamson hit a 3-pointer with 6:32 left in the game.
Head coach Bill Carmody was not impressed with Sobolewski's performance, saying the rough start may have affected the rest of Sobolewski's performance on Sunday night.
"He has some real good games, and he has some other games," Carmody said.
When the clock mercifully expired, Northwestern's final shooting numbers were just 25 percent from the floor and 18.5 percent from three. The Cats achieved the dubious distinction of finishing the game with more turnovers (14) than field goals (12).
"Our offense was bad the entire night," Carmody said. "[It] didn't seem to have any flow to it."
It's not as if there is any easy answer. The looks Northwestern got on Sunday were fine, Carmody said, but he struggled to explain why the team suffers such dramatic shifts in shooting percentage.
"I really don't have an answer to that" Carmody said. "If I did, I'd do something about it."
Hearn, who finished with a team-high 11 points that was still short of his 14 points-per-game average, was heavily critical of his team's performance.
"We didn't make shots, we didn't defend, we didn't do a lot of things we normally do," Hearn said.
But most importantly, Northwestern did not defend its home court. After going 27-9 at Welsh-Ryan Arena over the last two seasons, the Cats are now just 8-8 on their home floor this season.
After the game, as Illinois coach John Groce raved about his team's effort and defensive intensity, many of those fans who made the trip to Evanston gathered near the Illinois bench.
It was the Illini's state on Sunday night. And it was their court, too.

Hypothermia can kill during these winter storms
SIOUX CITY (KTIV) - It’s important to stay aware --- and stay alert -- in these extreme temperatures.
Hypothermia can turn deadly in minutes.
It only takes about 15-20 minutes for someone to suffer from hypothermia, with urgent medical attention becoming necessary. A local ER nurse said with the type of winds right now across Siouxland, hypothermia can hit even if you’re bundled up.
”Once you get to about 85 degrees, you become unconscious, and then your heart’s not gonna work as well because then your blood is not flowing like it should and then your blood is in your heart doesn’t work very well,” said Lea Mathison, a trauma coordinator for MercyOne Siouxland Medical Center.
Mild hypothermia, if your body temp only drops a handful of degrees, can be handled at home by slowly reheating the impacted person. Even in a hospital setting, doctors must be careful when re-warming patients because a sudden change in body temp can cause irregularities with the heart.

#NoHumanIsLimited On this Monday morning, how could I not write about Eliud Kipchoge, the 34-year-old Kenyan who achieved an unimaginable sports milestone in Vienna, Austria this weekend when he finished a marathon in under 2 hours. To put this in perspective, he was essentially running 4:34 minutes miles for 26.2 miles! That’s crazy!
#NoHumanIsLimited Maybe you and I will never run a marathon, let alone in under 2 hours, but Eliud Kipchoge taught us all that no human is limited as his hashtag declares. Kipchoge’s historic race isn’t necessarily about running at all–it’s about perseverance, grit, failure, faith, belief, fear, success, doubt, and whole host of other things. But if you only see this as an historic event that isn’t tied directly to you, then you’ve completely missed the significance his incredible accomplishment.
#NoHumanIsLimited Eliud Kipchoge ran this race for us. His success is our success because, in doing so, he said, ‘If I can do it, so can you.’ You and I are not limited but every day we create self-imposed limits by not challenging ourselves and by playing it safe and small. Get rid of all your sentences that begin with, “I could never…” and start some new sentences with, “I’m capable of anything I put my mind to doing.” If Kipchoge had said, “I could never…” we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Thank you, Eliud!!
P.S. I recommend reading the article of how Kipchoge accomplished this amazing feat: https://www.nytimes.com/…/eliud-kipchoge-marathon-record.ht…

Usain Bolt has long said he would like to give competitive soccer a try, dreaming of suiting up for his favorite club, Manchester United.
Winfried Schaefer has other plans.
The new German coach of the Jamaican national soccer team would like to see Bolt as a member of the Reggae Boyz.
“In the German newspaper, I read about Usain Bolt saying he wants to play football, and he wants to play in Manchester,” Schaefer said, according to the Jamaica Gleaner. “He’s a Jamaican, and I want him to be on our team.”
Jamaica has qualified for the World Cup out of CONCACAF once, in 1998, and made it to the final round of qualifying with nations such as the U.S. for this year’s World Cup before being bounced.
Schaefer said Puma’s CEO talked up Bolt’s soccer skills, calling Bolt “not bad.”
“But we can make him better,” Schaefer said, according to the newspaper. “When he has good training with our team here in Jamaica, we can make him a very good player. He’s very fast, that’s clear, but when he learns with the ball then he’ll be one of the best players.”
Schaefer even put a date on his plan — after the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
“I hope he wants to play for his country,” the coach told the newspaper. “He’s a hero here in Jamaica, and I think when he learns how to play with the ball and know what he has to do he’ll be much better. Football is easy, and I know he played many times in joke match or match for charity. But when he plays professional, and I’m his coach, we can make him very good; maybe the best player for counter-attack, nobody can stop him.”

THE St. Lucia Crisis Centre is currently embarking on a series of workshops geared to cater to the needs of children of the Ione Erlinger–Ford After-School Care & Extended Support Programme.
Thirty children requiring assistance meet on a regular basis from Monday to Friday for support. The Centre has been providing support with major challenges both academically and socially. The programme has sought to offer a wide range of activities within our limitations in the hope of enhancing their learning experiences to better help with self development. The provision of meals, as well as teaching aids and transportation assistance to some students, would not be possible without the generous support of the Sandals Foundation during the past years.
The Centre has observed the steady progress that is being manifested in both academic and behavioural performances of the children and we seek to get more parents actively involved.
Therefore, the first of these Parenting Skills Workshops will be held on Friday, April 7 at the St. Lucia Crisis Centre.
Our resource persons will be holding activities and discussions for a group of 30 parents in addition to members of the wider community.
We are hopeful that this workshop will assist the parents in better understanding and fulfilling their parental roles. We are grateful for the generous contributions by FirstCaribbean International Bank and the Bank of Nova Scotia for execution of this significant workshop in observance of International Women’s Day.

BBQ nachos are a great appetiser, if you have people coming over to watch a game, or even a midweek laid back dinner.
They were first cooked by the Mexican chef and restaurant owner Ignacio Anaya Garcia at the Victory Club in 1940 for a regular customer in the town of Piedras Negras. The story goes that she asked for something a little different as a snack. The chef brought together some corn chips, melted cheese and pickled jalapenos, and the popular snack was born.
The chef’s nickname was, you guessed it, ‘Nacho.’
They went down so well they have become a Tex Mex classic, and eaten all over the world.
If you have a lot of mouths to feed you could serve these lovely nachos with tacos, burritos, quesadillas, Mexican style rice, refried beans, or chargrilled corn on the cob (with lime juice, chili powder and lots of melted butter).
They also go really well with Chicken Wings. We humbly offer you our BBQ Chicken Wings Recipe here:
We are going to combine two other articles from this blog so you can make the most of our BBQ recipes.
The first one you’ll need for this recipe is our ‘How to Make BBQ Sauce Easy Guide,’ article.
The second is our ‘Chili Beef Recipe On the Smoker with Guacamole,’ which will bring a fantastic smoky, spicy flavour to our nachos.
You can of course use your own BBQ sauce and Beef Chili but using a homemade sauce and a lovely smoked chili with freshly made guacamole will be so much tastier, and worth all the effort.
You’ll need a good sized tray or dish for your nachos, and your oven at 200°C or around 400°F.
We are going to bake our BBQ nachos for 15-20 minutes.
Ingredients for BBQ Nachos
4 Tablespoons of Smoked Beef Chili
100g or 1/2 Cup Grated Smoked Cheese – such as Applewood
A Large Bag of Corn Tortilla Chips
One Red Onion Finely Chopped
2 Tablespoons Sour Cream
Optional Garnish of Finely Chopped Coriander/Cilantro
BBQ Nachos Step 1 – Prepare the Nachos
Start by finely chopping the red onion.
Now get a baking tray or large dish and cover with the corn tortilla chips. We are going to layer the nachos, so this is our first layer.
Spoon over two tablespoons of BBQ sauce, and half of your grated cheese.
Now spoon over half of your beef chili and then scatter over half of your chopped red onion.
Repeat the whole process for your second layer.
Season the top of your nachos with freshly ground black pepper and salt if you like.
BBQ Nachos Step 2 – Bake in the Oven
Bake your BBQ Nachos on the top shelf in the oven for 15-20minutes at 200°C or 400°F. Keep an eye on them so they don’t burn.
Turn the tray around at least once during the cooking process to make sure the heat is distributed evenly.
BBQ Nachos Step 3 – Serve
Remove from the oven, and spoon over your sour cream and guacamole. Keep some of both aside for your guests to add more if they wish.
Sprinkle over the coriander/cilantro if using.
Serve your nachos with lime wedges, sour cream, guacamole and an ice cold beer.
