How do you cook ribs on a Weber kettle?
Set your weber kettle up for indirect grilling/smoking using your favorite method. Place the ribs on the indirect side and cook them for 2-3 hours at 250-275 degrees. Every 30-45 minutes open the grill and spray the ribs with a mixture of water and apple juice.
How do you slow cook ribs on a Weber kettle?
How To Slow Cook Ribs On A Weber Charcoal Grill
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs.
- Season the ribs on both sides.
- Set up the grill to cook at 225-250F with indirect heat.
- Cook the ribs for 3-6 hours.
How long does it take to cook a rack of ribs on a charcoal grill?
Grill The Ribs
Cook for about 2 hours, rotating every 30 minutes or so to expose different edges to the hot side of the fire. After 1 ½ to 2 hours, wrap the ribs tightly in foil and place back on the grill to seal in the juices while you continue cooking for another 30 minutes or so.
How do you keep ribs moist?
The best way to keep ribs moist is to maintain a consistently low grill temperature. High heat will dry the ribs out in a heartbeat. You can also brine or marinate them beforehand, place a water pan in the grill or smoker, or enlist the aid of a mop sauce or spritzing liquid.
What is the 2 2 1 method for ribs?
The term “2-2-1” refers to the amount of time that the ribs spend on the grill with the cooking broken down into three stages. When you use this method, the unwrapped ribs are smoked for two hours, then wrapped in foil and returned to the smoker for another two hours.
Is it better to cut ribs before cooking?
By cutting the ribs into single pieces with a bone that runs through the center, you end up with more meat surface area for the smoke to get into and ultimately you can apply sauce and rub to the cut sides instead of just the top and bottom of the rib.
Do you separate ribs before cooking?
It’s a good idea to remove the membrane from the rib otherwise it can become tough and rubbery during the grilling process.
Should you boil ribs before grilling?
Ribs should be cooked slowly to obtain the optimum tenderness. Often ribs are boiled or oven-steamed before grilling to help tenderize the meat. … Cover ribs with salted water; cover pot and heat to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 50 minutes or until almost tender.
How long should you grill ribs?
Depending on the heat of your grill, your ribs should take about 1½ to 2 hours in total. Use visual cues to know when your ribs are done—you want them to be tender and easily pierced with a fork, but not completely falling off the bone.
What temperature do you cook ribs on a charcoal grill?
Prepare and season the ribs with your favorite rub. Preheat your smoker, charcoal grill, or gas grill to 225°F – the ideal temperature for cooking ribs. Smoke/slow cook for 3 hours using indirect heat. Wrap the ribs in foil with some liquid and continue cooking for 2 hours.
How much charcoal do you put on ribs?
Set about 20-30 charcoal briquettes in a tall pile on the grill, near the grate. Keep the grate open slightly, and open more or less throughout cooking in order to keep the grill at a steady 250-275°F. Light about 10 briquettes in a starter or on the other side of the grill, then add to your existing pile.
Do you flip ribs on the grill?
The best way to grill uncooked ribs
The key is to keep the heat low and cook the ribs slow. Indirect heat is preferable, at a temperature between 250F to 300F. … A rack of back ribs will take between 1 1/2 -2 hours to cook (with lid closed), and you should flip them approximately every 20 minutes.

Cubs catcher Willson Contreras set back MLB’s efforts to speed up games during Thursday’s season opener in Miami, visiting the dugout seven times during the first inning.
“We had a nice lead early and Jonny [Lester] needed to calm down a bit,” said Contreras, “so I did what good catchers do and visited my pitcher as often as possible in the first inning.”
Contreras said one of his visits included a profanity-laced set of instructions, in a callback to his recap of a past conversation with Lester at the 2018 Cubs Convention.
“I told him he better get his [expletive deleted] ass back to throwing strikes or else we were going to blow this game against a bunch of minor-leaguers,” said Contreras. “He wound up getting out of the inning, so I guess it helped.”

I'm 16 weeks according to the ultrasound, 17 weeks according to my cycle. I've been having stomach pain, and light cramping. I am freaking out a little. This is my 2nd pregnancy, and I never experienced this with my first. I was at a very healthy weight with my first pregnancy, but had trouble loosing the weight and started this pregnancy overweight. I find myself 'sucking in' my belly and wonder if the pain is just sore muscles from me doing that. Has anyone else experienced this?
I am 16 weeks as well. Yesterday, I had such pains in my lower abdomen. I eventually turned to my husband and said, "Your baby must be growing today."
I, too, am a bit heavier than my last pregnancy, and I feel like I am much more "pregnant" than I am most days. I am chalking all of this up to normal. If you are concerned, call your OB/midwife.
DD - 8/4/08; DS - 4/28/11
Forgive my typing. I am probably nursing.
i was drinking milk yesterday and my stomach started hurting. I didn't even finish the glass. I have had mild cramping too, but it's just the round ligament stretching. I had an appointment today and everything was fine.
me 29, DH 33, TTC#1 for 2 yrs, PCOS, miscarriage in June, pregnant with a rainbow baby...it's a GIRL!!!
Try to relax sweetie.I beleve it could be your baby growing.I had that with all my pregnancies.Even with the ones i lost.And was told by the doctor that its the baby growing and things moving and making room.If your really scared.Call your doctor and talk with the nurse.And if your really worried.Go in and have them do a u/s.I wish u all the best.Im sure its all normal sweetie.But im not a doctor.Sending u lots of loving hugs
Linda (angel mom of 4)
Mark and David lost at 24wks4days
Amanda lost at 22wks and Cody lost at 22wks
Well I went to the dr yesterday afternoon just to be safe. Saw the little ones heartbeat, and was given a perscription to stop the contractions. Told to take it easy, & not to lift my 3 year old. Hopefully this doesn't continue. Thanks so much for the support ladies!! I appreciate it :)
okay me in the same boat, i think most of the times the pain is because i lift my 3 year old i cant help it she jst gets crancky at times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Of course I haven't!" said Harry indignantly. "He killed my mum and dad!"
"I won't say a word, sir," said Riddle, and he left, but not before Harry had glimpsed his face, which was full of that same wild hap-piness it had worn when he had first found out that he was a wiz-ard, the sort of happiness that did not enhance his handsome features, but made them, somehow, less human. . . .
"Will you stop harping on about the book!" snapped Harry. "The Prince only copied it out! It's not like he was advising anyone to use it! For all we know, he was making a note of something that had been used against him!"
"Oh, something really silly . . . She said he was always trying to help her through the portrait hole, like she couldn't climb in herself . . . but they've been a bit rocky for ages."
Dumbledores eyelids flickered; Harry's heart leapt, "Sir, are you — ?"
"Harry," said Hermione, "how can you still stick up for that book when that spell —"
Harry wiped his grazed forearm upon the stone: Having re-ceived its tribute of blood, the archway reopened instantly. They crossed the outer cave, and Harry helped Dumbledore back into the icy seawater that filled the crevice in the cliff.
"But I thought he meant Lucius Malfoy to smuggle it into Hogwarts?"
She looked back over her shoulder, having only just real-ised that Harry was no longer with her; he had stopped walking and they were now ten feet from each other.
That I am off into Hogsmeade for a drink,' said Dumbledore lightly. 'I sometimes offer Rosmerta my custom, or else visit the Hog's Head ... or I appear to. It is as good a way as any of disguising one's true destination.'
'You're leaving the school tonight and I'll bet you haven't even considered that Snape and Malfoy might decide to -'
"But then . . . my dear boy . . . you're asking a great deal. . . you're asking me, in fact, to aid you in your attempt to destroy-“
He's your best mate!
One by one, the boys filed out of the room. Slughorn heaved himself out of his armchair and carried his empty glass over to his desk. A movement behind him made him look around; Riddle was still standing there.
Harry, who was shaking all over, thought for a moment that Dumbledore might not be able to climb into the boat; he staggered a little as he attempted it; all his efforts seemed to be going into maintaining the ring of protective flame around them. Harry seized him and helped him back to his seat. Once they were both safely jammed inside again, the boat began to move back across the black water, away from the rock, still encircled by that ring of fire, and it seemed that the Inferi swarming below them did not dare resurface.？

Vineyard trellis is key to success
18th November 2022
The trellis system is one of the key factors influencing the success of a vineyard, after the suitability of the site, and selection of appropriate varieties, clones, and rootstocks. With trellis costs representing around 50% of the budget, Alistair Nesbitt from Vinescapes Ltd explains how to get it right
There are close to 4,000ha of vineyards in the UK, and the industry is growing rapidly with around 1.5 million vines being planted in the UK each year. These all need trellis to support them – and that’s a lot of posts, anchors, and many miles of wire.
The trellis needs to last the lifetime of the vineyard and adapt to future changes the industry may face, such as the need for increased mechanisation. So, it is important for it to be designed and constructed by an experienced and professional team using the best quality materials, technology, and techniques.
Why use trellis?
In its natural habit, a vine is a climbing plant that grows up trees or other structures to reach sunlight and ripen its grapes, which then attract birds for seed dispersal. Vines are more productive in sunny rather than shady conditions, as photosynthesis is needed to produce the energy for the development of quality fruit. Also, formation of the buds for the following year’s crop is dependent on sunshine and warmth on the developing renewal canes.
The aim of the trellis is to support the vine and place the shoots in the optimal position to achieve the best yields and quality, by maximising leaf area for light interception and allowing air movement to reduce disease. The trellis keeps the vine off the ground for undervine management of weeds and the vineyard floor area. The trellis also allows for manipulation of the canopy shape for efficient spray penetration and other operations – both manual and mechanical. Therefore, the trellis has a significant influence on the productivity and profitability of the vineyard.
What are the trellis choices?
There are many different trellis system options. The type of trellising depends on site-specific factors which influence vine vigour – such as climate, soil type, drainage, topography and frost risk – as well as variety and rootstock, and the requirement of mechanised vineyard tasks. An understanding of these factors is needed to design the correct vineyard and trellis systems for the vineyard’s success.
The online land evaluation tool, VineMAP, developed by Vinescapes, along with the company’s professional site assessment, can provide these facts and figures to guide business success.
There are many trellis systems used across wine regions worldwide, adapted to specific growing conditions. However, in the UK, the Vertical Shoot Positioning system (VSP) is the most common, but other systems found occasionally include Geneva Double Curtain (GDC), Sylvos, Lyre and Scott Henry. In the early years of vine growing in England and Wales, GDC was relatively common as its divided canopy can allow higher vigour vines to achieve good yields.
Vertical Shoot Positioning system (VSP)
The VSP system has a fixed fruiting wire relatively close to the ground, at around 80–90cm, and at pruning the dormant cane or canes are attached to this – a system known as Guyot. The shoots are then trained upwards during the growing season, with the grape clusters found on the shoots, above the fruiting wire. In the UK vines are mostly cane pruned, where the canes are replaced each season. An alternative method is spur pruning on a permanent cordon, but this is generally more suited to climates warmer than most found in the UK. Moveable canopy wires then support the shoots in an upright position as the canopy grows. Canopy management tasks are important during the growing season to position shoots, trim or hedge, and for leaf removal – to optimise quality and yields. The VSP system, if installed correctly allows for mechanisation of many canopy tasks, including trimming and leaf removal, and if the wine style allows, harvest. Keeping the canopy open allows air movement and reduces humidity, which fungal diseases favour. The open canopy also improves the efficacy of spray applications. Mechanisation of pruning is easier with spur pruned vines, but mechanised pre-pruning is becoming increasingly common with cane pruned VSP systems, due to cost savings.
Geneva Double Curtain (GDC), Scott Henry and Lyre
The GDC trellis system is a horizontally divided canopy system and improves light penetration to the canopy interior. It is more suited to high vigour sites, whereas VSP is generally used for lower or medium vigour. Therefore, it’s important to anticipate likely vigour before planting the vineyard to select the right varieties, rootstocks, and trellis system. Vine vigour potential is influenced by the site’s climate, soil type, available rooting depth, moisture, and nutrient availability as well as management practices. In the right site, properly managed, GDC can result increased productivity.
GDC is separated into two ‘curtains’ of canopy. There are two support wires that are separated by cross arms and the cordons are trained on these. GDC and other divided canopies tend to be more expensive to install and manage, but often justify their costs in higher yields. Scott Henry and Lyre are also divided canopy systems that are used occasionally in the UK, particularly with high vigour.
Posts, anchors, and wires
The trellis supports the weight of the vine canopy and fruit, and it must be structurally sound to cope with wind, rain, and vineyard mechanisation for the lifetime of the vineyard. Along the row, the intermediate posts, and the high tensile wires transfer much of this weight to the end posts, strainer and ground anchors. The end posts need to be more robust and be driven deeper into the ground. It’s a technical task that requires expert knowledge and experience to ensure correct set up. Getting it wrong results in trellis failure, which is devastating for the vines, as well as expensive and challenging to repair.
Trellis posts need to be aesthetically pleasing as during the dormant season they are more obvious and therefore have an impact the landscape for visitors and neighbours. Wood has been used in the past, and considered more attractive than the glare of steel, but even treated wood can rot and deteriorate, especially in wetter soils. There are now naturally ‘weathered’ steel trellis posts available, such as CorTen, that offer the longevity of steel – but their ‘rust’ colouring blends with the winter countryside.
The trellis anchors are where the weight is transferred to the ground via end post tension wires, so have a critical role in avoiding trellis failure. There are several different styles of anchor available, designed to work in different soil types.
The trellis wires support the weight of the vine and fruit and transfer this load, mainly to the end posts and anchors. The fruiting wire needs to be tensioned to the right degree so that it doesn’t sag and should not stretch and resist corrosion. The canopy wires need to be able to support the shoots. If trellis wires break under a heavy crop during the growing season, they are hard to repair and can result in crop losses.
The trellis is under a lot of strain during the growing season, so after harvest, as the vine enters the dormant season and loses its canopy, is a good time to check and repair the trellis. If the trellis is not well maintained, it can affect vineyard performance, and lead to higher labour costs. It’s important to check that posts are stable, the fruiting wires are tight and canopy wires moveable but not too loose. Gripple, a small wire joining and re-tensioning device, makes wire maintenance much easier – especially for fixing wires cut accidentally when using electric pruning secateurs.

Two months before the Helsinki Coffee Festival we received an invitation from the organizers to participate in “The Coffee of the Year” competiton for the categories of “Best filter” and “Best espresso”. The invitation was offered to all Finnish coffee roasteries who joined the festival, in total 15 coffee roasteries. In this competition we did perform decently well achieving the 2nd place on the filter coffee category and 4th place on the espresso category!
As for the for the filter coffee we, Levi (Barista) and Iván (roaster) struggled a bit which coffee to choose from our assortment. We though first to submit our Beans & Roses which has an amazing complexity but finally we decided to use our Kenya Karimikui AA since we were recently obtaining extraordinary results thanks to Ivan’s never ending roasting optimizations.
Our Kenya Karimikui AA has really nice notes of red berries and Bubble gum, creamy and sticky and with a unique fermented acidity. Depending what temperature and brewing method is used, we could get notes of mature cherries of more delicate raspberries. In both, Hario V60 and Aeropress, we get really interesting fermented aftertaste. However, to balance a bit more we decided to use Chemex. With this coffee maker we can make this coffee super clean and highlights the fruitiness and subtle acidity.
After the good feedbacks from the Festival event, we are happy to see that our roasting style and flavour philosophy is well appreciated by Finnish consumers.
Now we want to share with you our awarded Chemex recipe with Kenya Karimikui. We also recommend you to mix with ice (iced coffee) to get a very refreshing summer coffee drink.
-Grind corser than filter coffee
-92c temp of the water
Prewetting with 100g water and wait 50sec. Then pour in spiral the water from outside to the center, drowning the coffee that can float and then stay in the center pouring water until you arrive to a total of 630g of water. Stop brewing at 4 to 4:30 min.
Baby Chemex recipe:
-Same grind and temperature as earlier recipe
Repeat the process but in the prewetting you use 50g of water and wait 30 seconds. Use in total 340g of water. After 2 to 2:30 minutes your coffee should be ready.

When your child has a learning disability, it can take you some time to cope and adjust to it yourself. Once you have, how can you talk to others about their learning differences, so they understand?
There can be things that hold you back, at first. You might be worried that others think you are overprotective. Or perhaps that you’re even trying to make excuses for your child.
Please don’t let those worries get in your way.
Explaining your child’s challenges to others will make it easier for them to understand what your child has to deal with daily. It will set the tone for how that person responds to your child’s learning disability. They will be able to adjust the things they say and do to help your child better understand them.
If you feel like it isn’t easy to talk about or explain your child’s challenges to others, let’s go over a few techniques you can use.
Breaking Down Barriers Around Learning Differences
One of the biggest reasons for talking to others about your child’s learning disability is to break down barriers and miscommunication. When the people in your child’s life know about their learning disability, they can communicate with your child better without any secrecy involved.
In explaining your child’s challenges, keep the information as simple as possible. You might now be an “expert” on your child’s learning disability, but that doesn’t mean everyone else is. Try to avoid using complicated language to explain things.
Next, keep in mind any challenges you had to overcome when first finding out about your child’s learning disability. Don’t expect others to “get it” right away without some challenges or confusion of their own.
Be there to answer questions. Additionally, try to make your answers as direct and straightforward as possible.
Most importantly, you will need the patience to get others to understand what your child is dealing with. People in your family may be in denial over some things or have difficulty accepting it. Your child’s teacher(s) may not catch on right away. Most people are willing to learn, but you have to give them the time to do so.
Using the Right Language
Learning disabilities affect children differently. You know your child better than anyone, and you know what kind of language is appropriate for their learning disability.
Just because your child has challenges doesn’t mean they aren’t smart or can’t learn. Inform those in your child’s life to be careful with the language they use. Words can be hurtful when used the wrong way, especially to children who might be sensitive toward their challenges.
Instead of focusing on your child’s struggles, talk to people about their strengths. Not only can that make them more comfortable, but if other people bring those strengths up to your child, it will help him or her to feel more confident and proud in their abilities, too.
Focusing On Acceptance
When talking to others about your child’slearning disability, your main goal should be for them to accept the challenges your child faces.
When they can do that, they can talk to your child, teach them, and effectively interact with them. For your part, practice your patience and don’t allow yourself to fall into frustration or disappointment if someone doesn’t understand right away. Keep working with them until they can accept what your child is dealing with.
If you’re struggling with how to talk to people about your child’s learning differences or you’re still trying to deal with it yourself, feel free to contact us. I’m happy to support you in your parenting journey so that you and your family can thrive.

"I was born twice: first, as a baby girl, on a remarkably smogless Detroit day in January of 1960; and then again, as a teenage boy, in an emergency room near Petoskey, Michigan, in August of 1974." And so begins Middlesex, the mesmerizing saga of a near-mythic Greek American family and the "roller-coaster ride of a single gene through time." The odd but utterly believable story of Cal Stephanides, and how this 41-year-old hermaphrodite was raised as Calliope, is at the tender heart of this long-awaited second novel from Jeffrey Eugenides, whose elegant and haunting 1993 debut, The Virgin Suicides, remains one of the finest first novels of recent memory.
Eugenides weaves together a kaleidoscopic narrative spanning 80 years of a stained family history, from a fateful incestuous union in a small town in early 1920s Asia Minor to Prohibition-era Detroit; from the early days of Ford Motors to the heated 1967 race riots; from the tony suburbs of Grosse Pointe and a confusing, aching adolescent love story to modern-day Berlin. Eugenides's command of the narrative is astonishing. He balances Cal/Callie's shifting voices convincingly, spinning this strange and often unsettling story with intelligence, insight, and generous amounts of humor:
Emotions, in my experience aren't covered by single words. I don't believe in "sadness," "joy," or "regret." I'd like to have at my disposal complicated hybrid emotions, Germanic traincar constructions like, say, "the happiness that attends disaster." Or: "the disappointment of sleeping with one's fantasy." ... I'd like to have a word for "the sadness inspired by failing restaurants" as well as for "the excitement of getting a room with a minibar." I've never had the right words to describe my life, and now that I've entered my story, I need them more than ever.
When you get to the end of this splendorous book, when you suddenly realize that after hundreds of pages you have only a few more left to turn over, you'll experience a quick pang of regret knowing that your time with Cal is coming to a close, and you may even resist finishing it--putting it aside for an hour or two, or maybe overnight--just so that this wondrous, magical novel might never end. --Brad Thomas Parsons
From Publishers Weekly
As the Age of the Genome begins to dawn, we will, perhaps, expect our fictional protagonists to know as much about the chemical details of their ancestry as Victorian heroes knew about their estates. If so, Eugenides (The Virgin Suicides) is ahead of the game. His beautifully written novel begins: "Specialized readers may have come across me in Dr. Peter Luce's study, 'Gender Identity in 5-Alpha-Reductase Pseudohermaphrodites.' " The "me" of that sentence, "Cal" Stephanides, narrates his story of sexual shifts with exemplary tact, beginning with his immigrant grandparents, Desdemona and Lefty. On board the ship taking them from war-torn Turkey to America, they married-but they were brother and sister. Eugenides spends the book's first half recreating, with a fine-grained density, the Detroit of the 1920s and '30s where the immigrants settled: Ford car factories and the tiny, incipient sect of Black Muslims. Then comes Cal's story, which is necessarily interwoven with his parents' upward social trajectory. Milton, his father, takes an insurance windfall and parlays it into a fast-food hotdog empire. Meanwhile, Tessie, his wife, gives birth to a son and then a daughter-or at least, what seems to be a female baby. Genetics meets medical incompetence meets history, and Callie is left to think of her "crocus" as simply unusually long-until she reaches the age of 14. Eugenides, like Rick Moody, has an extraordinary sensitivity to the mores of our leafier suburbs, and Cal's gender confusion is blended with the story of her first love, Milton's growing political resentments and the general shedding of ethnic habits. Perhaps the most wonderful thing about this book is Eugenides's ability to feel his way into the girl, Callie, and the man, Cal. It's difficult to imagine any serious male writer of earlier eras so effortlessly transcending the stereotypes of gender. This is one determinedly literary novel that should also appeal to a large, general audience.

The story makes for a thrilling read. I highly recommend the book. This should be required reading for rednecks and bigots, and perhaps even for students/practitioners of genetics.
The sense of authenticity appeals to me, as does the self-deprecating humour. So much that the author and I do not have in common has still touched me and drawn me in.
The writing draws me along, from page to page. The whirls of stories within the story are picturesque and enchanting. The overall story is ultimately satisfying.
Thus we come to my titular description of a "small" epic. Although that is unfair. It would be more accurate to say that it is close, because it deals with one family, and yet that would be just as inaccurate in its own way. I would say instead that nearly every character, and certainly the family. is imbued with characteristics that deepen them; in effect, make them more real. There are exceptions of course; it is not a perfect work, but any imperfections for me were worth it for the actual experience that is the good in this book. Portions of this book, particularly the insight the author gives into our protagonist, is pure poetry. This will always be a major plus for me. Of course I was not expecting the same kind of treatment to extend to a geography, Detroit, but I could certainly handle it. Normally, I don't respond nearly so well to an author who takes on a space as muse, especially in this kind of narrative that has a depth-ness of both time and space, but again, for me it didn't detract. At worst, the long soliloquies about Detroit only slowed down the narrative. Of course as a reader, it is slightly irritating that ostensibly for the amount of time that is spent on it, the zeitgeist of Detroit is a character itself. However, I don't know how much of this is the novel itself, or simply the limitations of the genre. Any work that concerns itself heavily with the passage of history, has to deal with that history. For all of the beauty of the words then, this book is pragmatic in that sense.
But, to reiterate. When this book is good, it's good. Like candy or cake melting on the tongue. We get to see the characters as the ultimate snapshots of humanity - in highs and lows and everything in-between. Most impressively, for all that this book clothes itself in allusions towards mythology and tragedy, all of this is done without pretension.

Liverpool came from behind to beat Tottenham 2-1, with Fabinho producing a colossal performance in the middle of the park.
Jurgen Klopp‘s men hosted their Champions League final opponents from last season, looking to get back to winning ways after a draw last time out in the Premier League.
When Harry Kane headed Spurs in front inside the opening minute there was clear reason for concern.
But this Liverpool side is made of such stern stuff and they turned the match on its head in the second half.
Jordan Henderson found the bottom corner to make it 1-1, before Mohamed Salah‘s penalty earned the Reds all three points.
Here we compare our player ratings with those from the Liverpool Echo, the Mirror, the Independent, The Redmen TV, FotMob and the TIA readers.
Fabinho (8.3) was the runaway winner in the average overall ratings and rightly so.
The Brazilian was fantastic in the middle of the park, showcasing why he is arguably the world’s best defensive midfielder.
This is Anfield’s Jack Lusby described Fabinho as “inventive and clinical in his passing and suffocating in his defensive play.”
Meanwhile, The Redmen TV gave him a perfect 10-out-of-10 rating, saying he is a “machine” who “orchestrated loads of attacks.”
Trent Alexander-Arnold (7.9) was next in the reckoning, on a day when his technical brilliance was a joy to watch.
The Echo‘s Ian Doyle thought the 21-year-old “caused Tottenham consternation with a succession of tremendous crosses”, while FotMob highlighted that he made seven key passes.
Taking home the bronze was Andy Robertson (7.5) – the fact that he felt quieter than normal sums up how good he has become.
Lusby claimed the Scot “provided more defensive steel” than Alexander-Arnold – a fair assessment – and John Cross of the Mirror said he was “major threat”, even though his “delivery often let him down.”
Dejan Lovren (6.1) took home the wooden spoon, as he again showed why he is a noticeable step down from Joel Matip these days.
The Croatian often looked a shaky presence and Cross outlined how he “had a major let-off” when Son Heung-min beat him for pace and hit the crossbar.
Next up for Liverpool is a League Cup fourth-round clash at home to Arsenal on Wednesday night.
It will let Klopp rotate his squad ahead of next Saturday’s trip to Aston Villa.

USF professor stood up for human rights
EDUCATION: Experiences shaped Charles Arnade's approach to big issues
Published: Wednesday, September 10, 2008 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 9, 2008 at 9:40 p.m.
Whether he was drinking beer with revolutionary Che Guevara, fighting racism in St. Augustine or teaching students about international affairs at the University of South Florida, Charles Arnade lived life with passion.
Arnade, a founding professor at USF and longtime resident of Pasco County, died Sunday in northern Virginia. He was 81.
Arnade taught at USF for 46 years and was named a distinguished professor in 1994. Colleagues and friends remember him as a towering intellect who loved spirited debate but never took differences of opinion personally.
"He liked to challenge authority; he liked a good battle," said USF professor emeritus Harvey Nelsen. "But he didn't hold a grudge. He always ended up friends with the people he was fighting."
In Pasco County, where Arnade settled his family in the 1950s, he was first regarded with suspicion, if not downright hostility, because of his civil rights activism. But he and his wife, Marjorie, gradually became respected members of the community through their civic work.
"He was a highly reputable teacher, a great scholar and a great supporter of the local community," said Bill Dayton, a local Pasco historian and longtime friend of Arnade and his wife.
Arnade's life could have filled several books. He was a native of Germany whose father, an officer in the German army, was posted to China to help train Chiang Kai-shek's army in the 1930s. As a child, Arnade witnessed the Rape of Nanking, in which Japanese soldiers slaughtered more than 300,000 Chinese.
Arnade's father was an opponent of the Nazi regime and used his contacts to relocate his family to Bolivia. Arnade became fluent in Spanish and Quechua, the language of the Andes Mountain Indians. He later wrote a history of Bolivia that became "the foundation of his scholarly reputation," Nelsen said.
During his research for that history, Arnade said he met Cuban revolutionary Che Guevara in a bar in La Paz, the Bolivian capital. Guevara was later killed by Bolivian soldiers.
Arnade also reportedly drank coffee with another Cuban revolutionary, Fidel Castro, at a Tampa diner in 1955. Arnade was teaching a class at the University of Tampa at the time and Castro was trying to raise money from Tampa's Cuban community for his fight against Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista. Arnade later told friends he talked with Castro about "morals and manners."
Arnade would have been a renowned academic based on his scholarship alone.
But it was his work on behalf of civil rights that earned him a reputation for moral courage.
While working in St. Augustine one summer during the 1950s, Arnade made statements supporting local civil rights demonstrations -- comments that were published in newspapers as far away as London.
The reaction was nasty, said his Pasco friend, Bill Dayton. Hoss Minucy, a local segregationist, walked into the St. Augustine Historical Society, where Arnade was working, and smashed framed articles written by the USF professor. Arnade did not return to St. Augustine for years because he was worried about his safety.
Later, he helped found the Pasco County NAACP. The first meetings were held in the Arnades' home.
Many did not take well to his activism.
"I came home from college on Christmas vacation and heard my parents and their friends talking about a communist 'agent provocateur,'" Dayton said.
"It was the shock of a person active in the NAACP. But when Dr. Arnade put his mind to something, he was in it all the way."
Marjorie Arnade said her husband's childhood experiences during the Japanese occupation of China and the rise of Nazism forged his determination to fight racism and other persecution.
Those feelings led him to advocate for courses on the Holocaust and on global human rights despite what his wife said was opposition from the USF administration.
"He could have been somebody who thought along those lines anyway," Marjorie Arnade said, "but the life experiences he had certainly reinforced that kind of thinking."
As a longtime leader of the USF faculty senate, Arnade crossed swords with every university president from John Allen in the 1950s to Judy Genshaft in the 1990s.
Arnade retired from the university in 2000.
"He never hesitated to tell the president what he was thinking," former USF president Betty Castor said with a chuckle. "If he had anything on his mind, we knew what it was."
His friend, USF history professor Gary Mormino, said Arnade loved a good fight if the cause was worthy.
"On every important issue affecting USF and higher education -- academic freedom, faculty governance, and racial integration -- Charles fought for the right cause," Mormino said.

Morning Security Brief: Swatting, TSA Admits Breaking SOP But Not Strip Searching, Virus Discovered After 10 Years, and More
The FBI says pranks calls reporting hostage situations and shootings are stretching police resources. The Feds say procedures weren't followed, but octogenarians weren't strip searched. A computer virus that only activates at night was sending data from a college computer lab for 10 years undetected. And more.
►The FBI says incidents of “swatting” are occurring at an alarming rate across the country. Swatting is a prank call made to police that warrants mobilizing SWAT teams to respond. On average, each call costs $10,000 in resources. Officials say cybercriminals often use technology to mask their caller ID or make it appear that they are calling from a residence with they purpose of having SWAT teams deployed on innocent victims. Police say that in some cases criminals have used swatting to distract police resources while they commit a crime in another part of town.
►Federal officials originally said that all procedures were followed after Ruth Sherman, 89, and Lenore Zimmerman, 85, went public with accounts of humiliating strip searches by TSA . But in a letter obtained by media, DHS acknowledges screeners violated standard operating procedures when agents asked Sherman to show them her colostomy bag. The letter says that neither Sherman or Zimmeran was asked to remove their clothing, the New York Daily News reports.
►A virus existed undetected in a college computer lab for more than 10 years harvesting personal banking information and the private data of students, faculty, and administrators. The IT team at the City College of San Francisco discovered the virus last Thanksgiving. IT found that “since 1999, at least seven viruses would begin ‘work' at around 10pm, trolling the college networks and transmitting data to sites in Russia, China and at least eight other countries, including Iran and the US,” SC Magazine reports. But it doesn’t stop there. Servers and desktops on the college’s wireless network were said to be infected. It’s also likely that anyone who used a flash drive in the past decade took the virus home and infected their own PC.
► In other news, The City of Indianapolis has built a new surveillance network to increase security during the Super Bowl.♦ The NSA releases a security-enhanced version of the Android to help companies and organizations that need to implement DoD access control policies. ♦ And the camp commander at Guantanamo Bay says security screening for prisoners' mail will be tightened after a copy of Inspire Magazine was discovered.

The tears were fresh as they fell. The scene in front of her continued to break every inch of her heart. She had given her heart away. Now it was returning, broken, destroyed, crushed.
Charlie tried to tear her eyes away from the man she loved. He hadn’t noticed her as he held her twin sister close. She wanted to scream, to confront them, but she couldn’t. All she could do was stand there, tears crawling down her cheeks.
“Told you,” a voice stated. Charlie wanted to roll her eyes, but she couldn’t. She felt numb, as if her emotions had deserted her body. A sigh came from the person, “I’m sorry,” he whispered.
Charlie straightened her spine, trying to stop the tears, “don’t be. You just showed me the truth.” Her voice wasn’t much more than a whisper, but her eyes held determination. “I’m glad I know, before it was too late.” She tried to sound fine, but every inch of her voice betrayed her.
“Charlie,” the man behind her placed his hand on her shoulder, trying to comfort her, “I thought I was wrong. I never thought he would cheat.”
“Neither did I,” Charlie replied, she shook her head and let out a bitter laugh, “especially with my twin sister.” She turned from the couple, the two people she trusted most, and finally faced the man. He towered over her, standing well above six feet. His blazing green eyes held sorrow and regret.
“Do you want to talk to him?”
Charlie didn’t turn around, she knew the pain would be back. Full force. “No thank you,” she replied, her shoulders slumping in defeat. She turned from the restaurant, “see ya around.” She walked back towards her still running car. The door slammed shut as she pulled from the parking lot.
“Charlie!” The buzz of chatter filled the small restaurant as Charlie walked through the door. The woman behind the counter smiled at her, “how have you been?” Bethany Jude asked, embracing Charlie.
“Good,” Charlie replied, “graduation is done and my uncle offered me a job back in Stratford.”
Bethany smiled and nodded, “I always thought having a steady job was key, but having family relations does help.”
Charlie laughed, “yes, it does. I’m headed back tonight, my flight leaves at seven,” Charlie informed her.
Bethany Jude was an old woman in her sixties who ran the diner near Charlie’s apartment. Bethany had lost her husband two years before and she had taken up the diner to help get over her grief. She had wrinkles around her eyes and mouth, signs of smiling. Her brown hair was a mixture of gray hairs and Bethany often referred to it as her ‘salt and pepper’ hair. Today she wore a long, pink skirt with her diner shirt.
Bethany raised an eyebrow at Charlie, “what about your car?” Charlie had been driving the same, run down car since she had arrived in San Francisco. It had been her pride and joy, the start of a new life.
“My uncle has some employees that are coming to San Fansico for a case and one offered to drive it back,” Charlie replied.
“How’s Brody feeling about this?” Bethany asked, referring to Charlie’s ex boyfriend.
“Bethany, Brody and I split two weeks ago,” she replied, “I’m sure he doesn’t care if I go or not.” Brody and Charlie had broken up when the conversation of Charlie going back home came up. Brody was a firefighter for the San Francisco Fire Department. Neither one wanted to have a long distant relationship and decided it would be better if they ended it. “I’m good to start working as an officer.”
“Which, that reminds me,” Bethany said, “my niece is thinking of training at the police academy. I was wondering if you could give her some tips on training.” Charlie knew Bethany’s niece because she worked at the diner on the weekends and some weekdays.
“Um,” Charlie said, thinking over the seven years she had been at the academy, “just tell her if she needs help studying or anything, just give me a call.”
“Thank you,” Bethany said, “Donna’s been at me for weeks to ask you.” Charlie smiled. She had met Bethany’s sister at the park one day when she ran into the two as they were walking.
“Well, tell her I can help,” she said, glancing at her watch, “anyway, I’ve got to go finish packing. My uncle is hoping I can start at the station by the end of the week.”
“Well,” Bethany said, embracing Charlie once again, “I hope everything goes well. Remember to call and I’ll come visit.”
“Of course.” Charlie walked from the diner and onto the busy streets of downtown San Francisco. People walked past, their footsteps brisk, always knowing where to go. The air smelt of the sea which lay in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Golden Gate Bridge loomed over as cars drove over the water.
Charlie took a deep breath, memorizing the smell she had grown so fond of over the past seven years. She walked towards the small apartment building that housed her current living quarters. The rent was affordable and the apartment wasn’t in terrible shape. Charlie opened her door to the apartment, her keys clinking as they hit the entryway table. Charlie entered further into her apartment, shuffling through that morning’s mail. Her eyes scanned over the letters.
Her footsteps faltered as she read the familiar handwriting. She gently took the letter in both hands and looked at it, debating on opening it or not. The last letter she had received from her twin sister had been six years ago. It was a wedding invitation.
Charlie’s hand shook as she turned the letter over, looking at the seal. Charlie hadn’t seen her sister since she left. It had happened right after she caught her sister and her boyfriend, at the time, together at a restaurant. She had felt crushed and left the next day, only her uncle knowing where she went. Charlie ripped the seal and pulled out the paper. She carefully unfolded the letter, afraid it might disappear.
Dear Charlie, the note read, I know you must hate me. After all I did, I don’t blame you. I must say I wished you had come to my wedding, but I know it must’ve been heartbreaking news to hear. I really am sorry, Charlie. I know it won’t change anything, but I hope we can move forwards. Jayden and I both feel very sorry about everything that happened. Please, just give us a chance. Love your twin, Courtney.
Tears rolled down Charlie’s cheeks as she thought about that day. It seemed so long ago and she missed her sister. Betrayal doesn’t go away so easily. Charlie took a deep breath, trying to regain her posture. She needed to move forwards and that wouldn’t happen until she talked to her sister. She placed the letter in her bag and sighed, rolling a finger over her temples. Her head pounded as if her thoughts we’re trying to escape her enclosed mind.
She closed her eyes before reaching for her phone. Her finger hovered over the button of the number she hadn’t called in so many years. She pressed the power button and the screen dimmed. Charlie’s reflection stared back at her. It was a conversation she needed to have in person. She put the device down and walked into the kitchen. She quickly ate then began the long, tortuous process of packing everything away into boxes.

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — A man was arrested in Florida for impersonating a public officer after he tried to pull over a real deputy, according to a Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office news release.
The release says Barry Lee Hastings Jr., 35, was booked by the HCSO when he tried to pull over an off-duty Lee County deputy on Thursday.
Hastings was reportedly driving a black Crown Victoria with white and amber emergency lights installed as well as a functioning siren box, similar to HCSO’s, and a CB radio.
Deputies say that after Hastings pulled behind the deputy with his lights flashing, he told the deputy to “slow down.”
The deputy and Hastings pulled over on the shoulder where the deputy asked Hastings twice to provide credentials, the release says.
Hastings said his credentials were at the office and told the deputy he “could follow him back to the ‘station’ so he could obtain and show him his
The release says the deputy then told Hastings he was going to get law enforcement involved and dialed 911.
Hastings fled the scene and was stopped by an on-duty deputy and placed under arrest, deputies say
Hastings was released on Friday on a cash bond, according to the jail website.

When the other chemical components in the developer are not changed, the inhibitor is added with thiosalicylic acid, 6-nitrobenzimidazole, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, and benzotriazole, and the physical silver characteristic curve obtained is obtained. See Figure 4. Figure 4 Effect of different inhibitors on the characteristic curve a: thiosalicylic acid; b: 6-nitrobenzimidazole; c: 2-mercaptobenzothiazole; d: benzotriazole; e: sulfur Salicylic acid+6 nitrobenzimidazole
Figure 4a shows the effect of thiosalicylic acid on the physical development of silver. It can be seen from the figure that as the concentration of thiosalicylic acid increases, the suppression of the physical development of the silver density in the strongly exposed areas is also shown. Stronger and stronger, and less impact on the weak exposure area. Therefore, the intermediate transition level is reduced from the original 6 to 7 grades to only 2 to 3 grades, and the slope of the photosensitive characteristic curve is continuously increased, and the contrast is significantly improved. The effect of benzobenzazole is similar to that of thiosalicylic acid, and the contrast of the plate can be increased at low concentrations (Fig. 4b). However, when the concentration of imidazole is large, weak exposure is due to its strong inhibitory effect. The level of physical development silver density is reduced, so the contrast is reduced.
The effect of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole on physical development of silver is different from that of the first two inhibitors. At low concentrations, it not only has no inhibitory effect on the physical development of silver, but rather increases the density of physical development silver (Figure 4c). Medium curve 2, 3). When the concentration is increased, the physical development of the non-exposed areas is suppressed, but the reflected light intensity of the exposed areas is reduced more. At this time, the inhibitor shows a significant effect of increasing the contrast (Fig. 4c. Curve 4). Benzotriazole has a weak contrast-enhancement effect at low concentrations (Fig. 4d). When the concentration is increased, the physical development silver, especially the weakly exposed areas of the physical development silver, is strongly affected. Inhibition greatly reduces the contrast and is not a suitable contrast promoter. The above results show that different inhibitors have different effects on plate contrast. Thiosalicylic acid has a significant increase in a wide range of concentrations. Contrast effect, 6 nitrobenzimidazole, benzotriazole only enhance the contrast effect at low concentrations, while 2 mercaptobenzothiazole at high concentrations only have this effect. This may be related to their physical development process Different inhibitory behavior and other factors The result is that when thiosalicylic acid is used in combination with 6-nitrobenzimidazole, it has an ultra-high contrast effect. Figure 4e shows that when the concentration of 6-nitrobenzimidazole is 1.2Ã—10-3 mol/L, The change of the photosensitive characteristic curve caused by the addition of thiosalicylic acid is shown. From the figure, it can be seen that when the concentration of thiosalicylic acid is 6.4Ã—10 âˆ’3 mol/L, only the white physical development of the weakly exposed area in the plate material is obtained. The black chemically developed silver in the silver and strongly exposed areas disappeared in the intermediate transition stage (curve 3 in Figure 4 e). The effect of increasing the contrast was higher than that of the two inhibitors alone. This result has not been seen in the literature. Report. (To be continued)

The South by Southwest festival is known for many things. Whether it is the incredible collection of geniuses, the amazing BBQ, or the next big band. But the thing that makes South by Southwest stand out from any other festival is the screenings at the Paramount Theater.
There is nothing like a SxSw premiere at Paramount. The audiences are hyped up and ready to go. You are guaranteed for cheers, screams, uproarious laughter, and the best time. The world premiere of Doug Liman’s reimagining of Road House will go down as one of the most fun SxSw screenings of all time.
It turns out Road House and the Paramount Theater were a match made in heaven. The film, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and featuring the acting debut of UFC legend Conor McGregor, is definitely not gunning for any Oscars but instead possibly the title of the most ridiculous, most fun movie of 2024.
The remake of the 1989 cult classic starring Patrick Swayze starts out with a big bang, and the punches keep coming. The action is constantly bordering on over the top, and the audience members are expected to throw logic and reasoning out the window. It feels like a throwback to ’80s and ’90s action.
This is where Jake Gyllenhaal absolutely knocks it out of the park. From the first scene to the last, Gyllenhaal oozes cool. Like a modern-day Jean-Claude Van Damme mixed with the looks of a Swayze, Gyllenhaal steps into the shoes of a former UFC fighter who is approached to be a bouncer at a bar in the Florida Keys who needs a lot of muscle.
After having over the top villain after over the top villain thrown at him, Gyllenhaal gets knocked down over and over and even stabbed multiple times, but Gyllenhaal rallies back every time and delivers a true knockout performance as an action star.
At the end of the day, this film is a whole lot of fun. It features many enjoyable performances from a stellar cast, including Jessica Williams, Billy Magnuson, Lukas Gage, and more.
Conor McGregor makes a very impressionable debut as a larger-than-life villain brought in to bring Gyllenhaal down. McGregor brings the same charisma, machismo, and over-the-top antics he has brought in his professional fighting career. Is he the next Daniel Day-Lewis? Definitely not. But in a movie like this, he takes the movie to a completely different level of ridiculousness and fun.
Road House is the perfect movie to grab your buds, turn your brain off, and want to cheer in your seat. I am so glad I watched this movie with hundreds of others in Downtown Austin.

Utah Governor Signs Medicaid Expansion Bill Into Law
Utah Governor Gary Herbert signed a bill into law today that expands Medicaid coverage to the poorest among Utah’s population.
The ceremonial signing took place at 4th Street Clinic in Salt Lake City where a majority of clients will benefit from the expansion. The law provides full Medicaid coverage to 16,000 people who are chronically homeless, involved in the criminal justice system or have mental health or substance abuse issues.
Governor Herbert says the law is a good step forward.
“This will give us the opportunity to see what the data shows,” Herbert says. “What the costs are actually going to be rather than speculation and I hope it gives us the opportunity to build on this and do more in the future.”
But many people argued the expansion doesn’t reach enough people.
Governor Herbert’s Healthy Utah plan would have expanded coverage to more than 126,000 Utahns, but it failed to get enough support from lawmakers during the 2015 legislative session.
Monte Hanks is the client services director at 4th Street Clinic. He says Medicaid will open many doors for clients.
“We can get them to specialists,” Hanks says. “We can get more people to primary healthcare docs. What people don’t get is a lot of homeless are trying to work and some of them haven’t been treated for so many years. How are you going to work when you’re sick?”
Governor Herbert also signed a bill Friday that provides $10 million to beef up homeless services and build new shelters.

One of the nation’s top defensive end prospects in the 2009 class will tour the state of Virginia’s two major Division 1A programs this weekend. St. Xavier (Cincinnati, OH) star Pat Muldoon , a 6-4, 265-pound rising senior, has top offers from all over the country including Alabama, Boston College, Iowa, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State, Stanford, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Wisconsin, among others.
“He is going to visit Virginia and Virginia Tech this weekend. I actually think he may be leaving [for the state of Virginia early this morning or last night],” St. Xavier head coach Steve Specht said. “I have no idea which school he is visiting first.”
A 3-year starter, Muldoon is coming off an outstanding junior season in which he racked up 75 tackles including 16 tackles-for-loss and 12 sacks. Coach Specht describes his star as “a high energy, high motor guy” who “may have the most explosive first step of any other defensive lineman I’ve ever coached.”
Muldoon has seen many colleges in person already, including Boston College, Iowa, Notre Dame and Ohio State. This weekend’s visits will be the first time he has ever visited either Virginia or Virginia Tech.
At this point, a summer decision is not in the plans.
“From my last conversation with Patrick, he still wanted to wait and take those five official visits before he committed,” Specht said.
St. Xavier boasts one of the top varsity football programs in the nation. After an undefeated 15-0 season in 2007, the program was ranked fifth in the nation in USA Today’s Super 25.

I have been quite skeptical about the ability of the Republican party to win over Latino voters. As others and I have noted, Latinos don't vote Democratic just because of immigration policy. They vote Democratic because they are more ideologically "in sync" with the Democratic party. That's why I've felt that going along with immigration reform was unlikely to net Republicans many Latino voters.
That said, I can't agree either with the math in a Politico article titled "Immigration reform could be a bonanza for Democrats". The article starts off promisingly enough with the premise that if immigration reform passed and undocumented immigrants became citizens, Latinos would start voting Democratic in even larger numbers. I can go along with this because the main reason anyone votes for or against a political party is for its economic platform, and 81% of first generation Latino immigrants say they want a "bigger government with more services", compared to only 48% of Americans overall.
Politico then uses the commonly quoted figure of 11 million undocumented immigrants and claims that there would, therefore, be "up to" 11 million undocumented immigrants up for grabs if they all became citizens. If these 11 million then voted along the lines of the Latinos who cast a ballot in 2012, Obama would have won the national vote by 7pt instead of 4pt. He could have carried Arizona and even Texas, which were each won comfortably by Republican Mitt Romney.
The problem I have, though, is why would anyone use the 11 million figure for reference.
First off, 1 million undocumented immigrants are under the age of 18. I don't care what your immigration status is, you can't vote in United States presidential elections if you are under the age of 18.
Second, of the 10 million adults, 19% aren't actually Latino; 11% are Asian. Asian voting patterns tend to be less stable than Latinos. In the past election, Asians went for President Obama by about 45pt. Twenty years ago, they went for Republican George HW Bush.
Without more research (and there is surprisingly little of it), it's unclear to know how undocumented Asian voting patterns would change given immigration reform. Also, keep in mind that about 60% of these Asian immigrants are in California and Washington State alone – so they're not exactly going to be a game-changer in the electoral college.
Third, I tend to doubt that all 8 million adult Latino undocumented immigrants would go for citizenship. A Latino Decisions poll says 87% of them would, but I'm skeptical. Only 60% of all legal immigrants actually apply for citizenship. Since the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, only about 40% of the newly eligible immigrants by so-said act became citizens. It would be reasonable to expect a similar percentage this time.
Only 36% of Mexican immigrants who are eligible to become citizens have gone through the process. Mexicans make up 72% of all undocumented Latino immigrants. Six in ten of the other 28% of eligible Latino immigrants have become citizens.
All together, if undocumented Latino immigrants become citizens at the rate that eligible Latino immigrants do, then we're looking at 3.5 million new voting-age citizens. That 3.5 million is a far cry from the 11 million we first talking about.
Finally, just how many of these 3.5 million undocumented Latino immigrants can be expected to vote in the presidential election? Per the standard census Current Population Survey (CPS), only 49.9% of all voting age Latino American citizens cast a ballot in 2008. (Note, there is no report available for 2012 as of this point.) Based on pre-election surveys and work by Michael McDonald, there is reason to believe that percentage may have dropped further in 2012.
All told, it would seem that only about 1.7 million new Latino voters would be added if undocumented immigrants were granted citizenship. Nationally, this would be a net of about 775,000 votes. This would increase Obama's vote margin, but not to 7pt; it would only go up to about 4.4pt – in other words, half a point from where it actually was in November 2012. Even adding in new Asian voters, who vote at a lower rate than even Latinos, and other undocumented immigrants (and controlling for the percentage who apply for citizenship, percentage of citizens who vote, and the percentage who voted for Obama), the margin probably only goes up to, at most, 4.6pt.
The amount this would shift individual states in elections is debatable. Take Nevada, where, at last count, there were 190,000 undocumented immigrants – the highest percentage of any state population. Most of them are Latino. Apply the same math we did above, Obama would have gained about 17,000 votes. It would have increased his state margin of victory by 1.4pt. That's not nothing, but we're talking about the state with the largest percentage undocumented immigrants.
Most states aren't close to Nevada's undocumented immigrant population, while the ones that are simply aren't competitive at the president level: Arizona, California, and New Jersey. No state in 2012 would have had a different outcome if undocumented immigrants were given the right to vote.
The truth of the matter is that passing immigration reform won't be a votes "bonanza" for the Democratic party because of potentially or newly enfranchised undocumented immigrants. That doesn't mean passing immigration reform will help the Republican party among Latinos; the GOP should probably still be worrying about its Latino voter appeal. But it's not facing a landslide from a new citizen electorate.

By January 2015 the world's richest 80 people had as much wealth as the poorest 50 per cent of the world's population. It is a global unevenness through which the barriers to in-migration of Third World migrants to wealthy First World nations go ever higher, while the barriers to travel in the reverse direction are all but extinct. So how exactly does tourism contribute to narrowing this glaring inequality between the rich and poor? Are ever-expanding tourism markets a smoke-free, socioculturally sensitive form of human industrialisation? Is alternative tourism really a credible lever for reducing global inequality and eliminating poverty? Tourism and Sustainability critically explores the most significant universal geopolitical rms of the last half century - development, globalisation and sustainability - and through the lens of new forms of tourism demonstrates how we can better get to grips with the rapidly changing new global order. The fourth edition has been extensively revised and updated, and benefits from the addition of new material on climate change and tourism. Drawing on a range of examples from across the Third World, Mowforth and Munt expertly illustrate the social, ecomic and environmental conditions that continue to affect the tourism industry. With the first edition hailed by Geoffrey Wall as 'one of the most significant books produced on tourism [since the turn of the millennium]', Tourism and Sustainability remains the essential resource for students of human geography, environmental sciences and studies, politics, development studies, anthropology and business studies as well as tourism itself.
Martin Mowforth is a freelance researcher specialising in issues of environment, development, sustainability and human rights in the region of Central America. He is also a part-time associate lecturer in human geography at Plymouth University, UK.

About this product
- DescriptionThe Scottish publishing firm of William Blackwood & Sons, founded in 1804, was a major force in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century British literary history, publishing a diverse group of important authors-including George Eliot, John Galt, Thomas de Quincey, Margaret Oliphant, Anthony Trollope, Joseph Conrad, and John Buchan, among many others-in book form and in its monthly Blackwood's Magazine. In The House of Blackwood, David Finkelstein exposes for the first time the successes and failures of this onetime publishing powerhouse. Finkelstein begins with a general history of the Blackwood firm from 1804 to 1920, attending to family dynamics over several generations, to their molding of a particular political and national culture, to the shaping of a Blackwood's audience, and to the multiple causes for the firm's decline in the decades before World War I. He then uses six case studies of authors-Conrad, Oliphant, John Hanning Speke, George Tompkyns Chesney, Charles Reade, and E. M. Forster-and their relationships with the publishing house. He mines the volumius correspondence of the firm with its authors and, eventually, with the authors' agents. The value of the archive Finkelstein studies is its completeness, the depth of the ledger material (particularly interesting given that the Blackwoods did much of their own printing), and the extraordinary longevity of the firm. A key value of Finkelstein's account is his attention to the author/publisher/reader circuit that Robert Darnton emphasizes as the central focus of book history.
- Author BiographyDavid Finkelstein is Dean of the School of Humanities at the University of Dundee. He is editor of An Index to Blackwood's Magazine, 1901 1980 (1995) and coeditor of four recent books, including The Book History Reader (2001) and Nineteenth-Century Media and the Construction of Identities (2000). He has spent the last few years investigating the Blackwood papers for the National Library of Scotland, which has enabled him to exploit business documents ignored by or unknown to previous researchers.

Study Of Biosorption Of Copper And Silver By Marine Bacterial Exopolysaccharides
Free (open access)
549 - 559
M. Deschatre, F. Ghillebaert, J. Guezennec, C. Simon-Colin
Metal bioremediation was studied by biosorption of analytical grade copper Cu(II) and silver Ag(I) by an exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by marine bacteria from French Polynesia. Colorimetric analysis showed that EPS was composed of neutral sugars, uronic acids, acetate and especially high sulfate amount (29%). Metal biosorption experiments were conducted in batch process. Results showed that the maximum sorption capacities calculated according to Langmuir model were 400 mg g−1 EPS (6.29 mmol g−1) and 256 mg g−1 EPS (2.38 mmol g−1) for Cu(II) and Ag(I), respectively. The influence of pH, biosorbent concentration, ionic strength on EPS biosorption capacities was investigated.
Results showed that bacterial EPS can be considered as very promising for copper and silver bioremediation. Further development in dynamic and continuous process at the industrial scale will be organized next.
