The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation recently awarded two grants worth a total of $6 million to the Boston-based life sciences company Vaxess Technologies, Inc. The grants will support research to create two micro-needle vaccine “patches” that simplify delivery of the inactivated polio (IPV) and live attenuated measles rubella (M-R) vaccines through needle-free delivery systems and heat-stabilized vaccines that do not require refrigeration.1 2
According to Vaxess and the Gates Foundation, needle-free vaccine delivery methods would help overcome the shortage of needles and syringes and lack of refrigeration equipment in developing regions of the world.1
The technology developed by Vaxess is known as MIMIX—a sustained-release micro needle patch platform. The vaccine patch is placed on the skin for five minutes rather than using a needle and syringe.1 According to Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News:
MIMIX is designed to lower barriers to vaccine access by simplifying dosing and administration, alleviating cold chain constraints, and lowering costs. The technology uses engineered, silk-derived biopolymer micro-needles to encapsulate antigens for transdermal administration and controlled release. The company extracts the key structural component of silk, a protein called fibroin, from natural fibers.2
Michael Schrader, the CEO of Vaxess, has said that the “use of the MIMIX sustained-release micro-needle patch to combine doses and simplify administration has the potential to streamline global eradication efforts.”2 His firm also received a grant of $448,416 in May 2016 from the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) for development of MIMIX technology.2 3

Q-Logic Kick Panels
I installed a pair of Q-Logic kick panels in my 2002 Cavalier.
The color match is dead on.
I think it is kind of a poor construction design; thin and flimsy. Also there is no back to them. I did not like the fact that I had to cut my factory sill plant to install them. If you going to put 6.5" in them...don't. I just got a new pair of 6.5" MB Quart comps and had to trim the outer edge of the speaker to fit it in the hole. The grills you get with them are also very thin and don't like to stay in. They also break very easily.
The worst $150 I have ever spent.
I think I'm going to try to make some fiberglass one. Just need to get new sill plates now.

You head of Jericho in the Bible in the Old Testament from the book of Joshua chapter 6. As the story goes, God commanded Joshua to lead his people around the city walls marching in a specific order for six days.
On the seventh day, when they did the same, and they blew their horns, and the walls that protected Jericho came tumbling down.
It’s a simple story packed with a lot of Biblical truth when you dig into it.
Joshua 6: 15-17
15 On the seventh day, they got up at daybreak and marched around the city seven times in the same manner, except that on that day they circled the city seven times. 16 The seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast, Joshua commanded the army, “Shout! For the Lord has given you the city! 17 The city and all that is in it are to be devoted to the Lord.
Verses: 6: 1- 27
Context: Joshua has taken over from Moses, and he is preparing for his first test of faith. Earlier on, he sent some spies to check out the land of Jericho. They would have been killed if not for a prostitute named Rehab, who hid them.
Main Point of Chapter: God will use Joshua to lead his people to take over Jericho.
Takeaways: God will come and tear down sin that man tries to hide behind walls. Salvation will come through the word of God and not by the hands of man.
The Story of Jericho In The Bible
6 Now the gates of Jericho were securely barred because of the Israelites. No one went out and no one came in.
2 Then the Lord said to Joshua, “See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men. 3 March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days. 4 Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets. 5 When you hear them sound a long blast on the trumpets, have the whole army give a loud shout; then the wall of the city will collapse and the army will go up, everyone straight in.”
6 So Joshua son of Nun called the priests and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant of the Lord and have seven priests carry trumpets in front of it.” 7 And he ordered the army, “Advance! March around the city, with an armed guard going ahead of the ark of the Lord.”
8 When Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests carrying the seven trumpets before the Lord went forward, blowing their trumpets, and the ark of the Lord’s covenant followed them. 9 The armed guard marched ahead of the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard followed the ark. All this time the trumpets were sounding. 10 But Joshua had commanded the army, “Do not give a war cry, do not raise your voices, do not say a word until the day I tell you to shout. Then shout!” 11 So he had the ark of the Lord carried around the city, circling it once. Then the army returned to camp and spent the night there.
12 Joshua got up early the next morning and the priests took up the ark of the Lord. 13 The seven priests carrying the seven trumpets went forward, marching before the ark of the Lord and blowing the trumpets. The armed men went ahead of them and the rear guard followed the ark of the Lord, while the trumpets kept sounding. 14 So on the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. They did this for six days.
15 On the seventh day, they got up at daybreak and marched around the city seven times in the same manner, except that on that day they circled the city seven times. 16 The seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast, Joshua commanded the army, “Shout! For the Lord has given you the city! 17 The city and all that is in it are to be devoted to the Lord. Only Rahab the prostitute and all who are with her in her house shall be spared, because she hid the spies we sent. 18 But keep away from the devoted things, so that you will not bring about your own destruction by taking any of them. Otherwise you will make the camp of Israel liable to destruction and bring trouble on it. 19 All the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron are sacred to the Lord and must go into his treasury.”
20 When the trumpets sounded, the army shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the men gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed; so everyone charged straight in, and they took the city. 21 They devoted the city to the Lord and destroyed with the sword every living thing in it—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.
22 Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the prostitute’s house and bring her out and all who belong to her, in accordance with your oath to her.” 23 So the young men who had done the spying went in and brought out Rahab, her father and mother, her brothers and sisters and all who belonged to her. They brought out her entire family and put them in a place outside the camp of Israel.
24 Then they burned the whole city and everything in it, but they put the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron into the treasury of the Lord’s house. 25 But Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute, with her family and all who belonged to her, because she hid the men Joshua had sent as spies to Jericho—and she lives among the Israelites to this day.
26 At that time Joshua pronounced this solemn oath: “Cursed before the Lord is the one who undertakes to rebuild this city, Jericho:
“At the cost of his firstborn son he will lay its foundations;at the cost of his youngest he will set up its gates.”
27 So the Lord was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout the land.
Meaning of the Story of Jericho in The Bible
To understand Jericho’s story, you need the context of where we are in God’s story to save his people. Moses has passed away in the book of Deuteronomy, and the torch gets passed to Joshua.
The enemy of humankind is that in which we call sin is on full display throughout the life of Moses. You see what Egypt does to God’s people in the book of Exodus, and God redeems his people during Passover (Exodus 1 -12).
Jericho represents an impenetrable force guarding the treasures of men. Before the people can enter the promised land, these treasures and false gods need to be broken down.
God will do the work in breaking down these walls used to hide sin if we trust in God. Any work of our own will not do it.
Romans 9: 15 “… I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion. So then it depends not on human will or exertion but on God who has mercy.”
The beauty of the Gospel of Jesus is that we don’t receive grace because of how hard we work or anything we could earn. It’s all because of God’s goodness, and you see that picture being painted here. There is nothing that God’s people or Joshua did besides obeying God.
Application of The Story of Jericho in The Bible
Please stop trying to do it on your own. God sent his only son to die for your sins so that you can never boast in yourself. This forces you to boast in Christ because Christ did what we could never do ourselves. No amount of money, work, fame, or treasures can buy you salvation.
Jericho’s story should serve as a reminder that we need to lean in and trust in God. We don’t need to try harder to be saved or to be good. Romans 8:37-39 already says that our salvation can’t be taken away. 1 John 1 says that if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
The practical application from Jericho in the Bible is simple:
- Believe and Put Your Faith in Jesus
- Confess Your Sins and Repent
- Live Everyday Dependant and Desperate for Jesus
- Obey God
That is all you have to do. You put your faith in Jesus; you confess your sins because the more you confront crime, the more you realize you need a savior.
The more you need a savior and the more desperate you become for Jesus. That desperation brings you to his word to seek and know him, and that makes you want to obey and do the will of your father.
Don’t Forget The Big Picture
Many people read the Bible with an attitude of seeking to understand how they can improve their own life. The Bible is capable of doing that, but that is not the point of the whole book.
You are not the star of the show. The book is about God’s plans to save his people that he loves so much. The star of the show is the Father, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit.
The more you recognize this going through scripture. The easier it will be to make sense of what is happening. When you read the book just looking for an application for your own life, things don’t make as much sense because it’s not about you.
When you read about Jericho in the Bible, it can help you, but it’s just another step in God’s story to save a broken people.

Contemporary Self Psychology: An Interview with James L. Fosshage, Ph.D.
Daniel Shaw, C.S.W. and James L. Fosshage, Ph.D.
DS: Your paper, Jim, summarizes the state of the art of contemporary psychoanalytic thinking today. While your own work is most closely associated with psychoanalytic self psychology, your paper acknowledges the contributions of theorists from various psychoanalytic schools. As the president-elect of the International Self Psychology Council, you are. I think, in an excellent position to tell our readers about the current state of self psychology, how self psychology is influenced by and is influencing the psychoanalytic community at large.
JF: I think self psychology is very much alive and well today. As you know, we have annual conferences, which are always attended by five to seven hundred people. There is a great deal of interest in self psychology, and I think the contemporary contributions to self psychology make it a much stronger theory. Overall, I consider it to be one of the major relational approaches (using relational as a broad category), along with object relations, interpersonal, intersubjectivity, and the American Relational (designated with a capital “R”) theories.
How self psychology is influenced by and influencing the larger psychoanalytic community is a very difficult and complex question, and I would refer your readers to my article entitled “Contextualizing Self Psychology and Relational Psychoanalysis: Bi-directional Influence and Proposed Synthesis,” which will be published in the July issue of Contemporary Psychoanalysis. In the article, I go into detail on the concepts of listening and experiencing perspectives, the concept of “self,” and therapeutic action, specifically theories of change and the analyst's participation.
Overall, self psychology significantly contributed to the placement of the individual's subjectivity at center stage, a placement that traditionally was so often usurped by the analyst's subjectivity. In addition, self psychology contributed to a more open human interaction that makes psychoanalytic treatment more inviting (for both participants) and effective.

Samsung's effort to keep its upcoming Galaxy S8 flagship smartphone secret is an abysmal exercise owing to the numerous leaks that have fueled the rumour mills since last year. But the final nail in the coffin is perhaps a comprehensive list of leaks by industry veteran Eldar Murtazin which tells almost everything there is to know about the upcoming devices.
As expected, the Galaxy S8 will launch in two variants- One featuring a 5.7-inch display and the Galaxy S8 Plus sporting a 6.2-inch display. Yet, despite sporting bigger display the phones will retain dimensions similar to last year's Galaxy S7 owing to a larger screen-to-body ratio.
Murtazin mentions that the Galaxy S8 will have dimensions of 140.14x72.2x7.3mm making it shorter and thinner than the Galaxy S7 Edge while the Galaxy S8 Plus with the 6.2-inch will have dimensions of 152.38x78.51x7.9mm. This will of course be bigger than the Galaxy S7 Edge but despite the larger display, it will much more compact that the Galaxy Note 7 which had dimensions of 153.5x73.9x7.9mm.
Both handsets will sport Samsung's new AMOLED displays, although Murtazin couldn't confirm whether Samsung is ditching the physical home button or not. Rumours have been rife about Samsung embedding the fingerprint sensor under the display or at the back and doing away with the home button to make more space for the screen. Also, just like the Galaxy Note 7, both variants will feature the iris scanner for more security.
Coming to the hardware, Murtazin states the phones might be powered by either the Snapdragon 835 or the Exynos 8895, both built on a 10nm assembly process. This will be coupled with 6GB of RAM for the 64GB base variant. He said nothing about the rumoured 8GB RAM variant.
The battery on the upcoming Galaxy S8 will be the same as last years and the phone will retain the 3.5mm headphone jack. USB-C port and MicroSD card slot will also be present.
Surprisingly missing in the leak is information about the camera. Samsung is expected to put a dual-camera stack on the bigger Galaxy S8 Plus variant.
In addition, Murtazin reported the device will come running Android 7.1.1 with TouchWiz UI on top. The devices will have Samsung Pay, Samsung Cloud and the highly anticipated AI assistant named Bixby. There will also be a dedicated Game Mode which might be the rumoured Beast Mode. Also, the phones will feature a Windows Continuum-like feature that will allow the phone to connect to a monitor for desktop mode.
The leaks also state that Samsung will price the devices quite aggressively in the market with the base Galaxy S8 priced around $700 (roughly Rs 47,600) and the Galaxy S8 Plus priced around $850 (roughly Rs 57,800). It is likely that the devices will be priced similar to the Galaxy S7 models when they launched last year.
Yet, despite spilling the beans on almost everything, Murtazin had no clue about when the device will come to the masses. There have been rumours that Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S8 at MWC 2017 in Barcelona next month. But Murtazin expects the phones to ship sometime late April.

A series of raids have been carried out in a bid to crack down on a scam where immigrants are brought to the UK as ministers of religion and then vanish.
Sixteen addresses across the country were targeted in early morning swoops today, as part of an ongoing investigation into the Khalsa Missionary Society in Manchester.
It is claimed that immigrants are brought from India to live in the UK as religious workers but then disappear.
Raids were carried out in Slough, Southall, Southampton, Luton, Hounslow, Birmingham and Leicester.
A Home Office spokesman said: ''This is a large scale operation linked to suspected immigration crime targeting several locations across the UK.''
In September 17 people were arrested as part of the same operation when raids were carried out in Manchester, Glasgow, Pangbourne, Wolverhampton, Huddersfield and Middlesex.

How to Get Rid of Scars on Toes
Toe scarring is common once a corn or callous is successfully removed. Scars, which form when your skin is cut or torn, is a normal part of your body's healing process. Scars are thicker and lighter than unaffected skin, posing a cosmetic concern for many 3. Toe scarring may deter fashion savvy individuals from wearing sandals or swimming. The fortunate news is that scar formations on your toes can be decreased and in some cases, eliminated.
Cover your scar with silicone sheeting, which is available at most drugstores and mass merchandisers. Silicone sheeting has been shown to significantly reduce scar appearance according to Fitness magazine. Sheeting flattens your scar and helps spread out collagen fibers that have grouped during the healing process.
Massage your toe scars for five to ten minutes daily to increase blood circulation. Many massage therapists offer scar massaging to promote lymph node drainage and reduce scar size and depth. The increase in blood circulation also helps new skin and tissue to form, aiding in healing.
Moisturize your scar with thick cream or lotion 3. Maintaining your skin's natural moisture balance will help increase skin's elasticity and reduce discoloration of your scar. According to Fitness magazine, onion extract massaged into your scar daily can also help due to its allicin content. Allicin has been shown to inhibit collagen grouping in scar tissue.
Apply aloe vera gel to your scars to help reduce inflammation, suggests Alford ENT and Facial Plastic Surgery Center in Texas. Aloe vera helps flatten scars and reduce swelling due to its quick absorption into the skin.
Consult a dermatologist regarding skin resurfacing techniques. Many techniques are available that can remove the damaged layers of scar tissue and promote new skin growth in its place. Dermatologists offer many scar treatments such as dermabrasion, laser resurfacing and light therapy.

Blue water. For divers blue water refers to the open ocean where you cannot see the bottom or shore while you are diving. In the Pacific the sea floor drops very fast and within 300 ft / 100m of the shore you can already have 1500 ft / 500m depth. Because of the great depth some large pelagic fish like this tiger shark can be seen roaming the ocean. Reaching 16ft (5m) the Tiger Shark is the apex predator in tropical waters.
Is there anything more beautiful than a large tiger shark swimming majestically in the ocean ? YES , having many “little” black tip and reef sharks swimming around the giant in the French Polynesia!

(USA TODAY) The salmonella outbreak linked to raw chicken from California involves multiple antibiotic-resistant strains and has a very high hospitalization rate of 42%, a food safety advocate who was briefed by government officials said Tuesday.
"There are seven strains involved in this outbreak," and many of them are antibiotic resistant, said Caroline Smith DeWaal, the food safety director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest in Washington.
DeWaal was briefed by Christopher Braden, director of the division of food-borne illness at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"The outbreak has a far higher hospitalization rate, double the normal rate for salmonella," DeWaal said.
In 18 states, 278 people have been sickened in the ongoing salmonella outbreak. It has been linked to chicken produced by Foster Farms at three California plants, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced Monday.
Most staffers at the CDC who would normally be providing information about the outbreak are on furlough. However, the CDC brought additional staff back to work to investigate the outbreak, Braden told DeWaal.
There have been no deaths linked to the outbreak, according to the CDC.
Commonly used antibiotics are not always effective against strains of salmonella such as this one, so stronger antibiotics must be used.
The USDA's public health alert named three facilities operated by Foster Farms as the likely source of raw chicken contaminated with salmonella. Most of the chicken has been sold in California, Oregon and Washington, and most of the illnesses have occurred in California, the USDA says.
No recall has been announced, and the agency's Food Safety and Inspection Service "is unable to link the illnesses to a specific product and a specific production period," the news release says. Consumers can identify products that came from the three plants by looking for these packaging codes: P6137, P6137A and P7632.
In its own news release, Foster Farms says it is working with USDA inspectors and the CDC to address the outbreak. The company's food safety chief, Robert O'Connor, says the USDA inspection process has not been affected by the federal government shutdown.
Common symptoms of salmonella food poisoning include diarrhea, cramps and fever that typically start eight to 72 hours after eating food with high levels of the bacteria. Some people get chills, nausea and vomiting, lasting up to seven days, the USDA says. For people with weak immune systems, including infants and the elderly, the infection can be deadly.
Foster Farms encouraged consumers to cook poultry to an internal temperature of 165 degrees to kill disease-carrying pathogens. The USDA recommends that consumers use a food thermometer as the only way to ensure the proper temperature is reached.
Consumers shouldn't rely on cooking instructions that give a specific number of minutes of cooking for each side of chicken. The actual time may vary, depending on whether the chicken is broiled, fried or grilled and whether it was chilled or frozen when cooking began, according to the USDA.
An outbreak of the same strain of salmonella was linked to Foster Farms chicken in 2012 in Oregon and Washington. That outbreak sickened 134 people in 13 states, the CDC reported in July.
In a statement on its website, Foster Farms said it has "instituted a number of additional food safety practices, processes and technology throughout company facilities that have already proven effective in controlling salmonella in its Pacific Northwest operations earlier this year."
To a certain extent, the CDC has been flying blind when it comes to food-borne illnesses for the past week because the government shutdown meant it had to close PulseNet. That's a national computer network that connects 87 public health laboratories and look for trends and matches to spot food-borne illness outbreaks. It's one of the agency's most important tools in detecting this kind of problem.
"They had been trying to work on this outbreak for a week, doing information exchange by phone and e-mail and found the volume of data was too large," DeWaal said.
The CDC finally was able to bring back seven of the eight employees who run PulseNet, and it was up and running as of Tuesday, Braden told DeWaal.
Salmonella is known to contaminate poultry flocks in the USA. "Salmonella is naturally occurring in poultry and can be fully eradicated if raw product is properly handled and fully cooked," O'Connor said.
Several European countries have succeeded in eradicating it in their flocks through stringent controls, but those controls are considered too costly to implement in the USA.

Interior Ministry Official Terms Journalists a 'Threat to Security'
Media rights watchdog Reporters Without Borders (RSF) today issued a statement condemning the Iraqi government for its growing harassment of media personnel, “especially TV crews.” The statement noted that summary detentions of reporters and physical attacks on journalists are on the rise.
RSF also expressed concern at a statement this weekend by Iraq’s Interior Ministry, when official Adnan al-Asadi condemned freedom of information as a “threat to internal security” and warned reporters not to publish information about killings in Iraq without prior ministry permission.
Iraq’s government since the US occupation has had an extremely checkered history with regards to media treatment. Reporters, even those working for major outlets, have been regularly detained as suspects by both Iraqi and US forces, and are often subjected to torture simply for covering incidents the regime would rather keep secret.
The Maliki government has also repeatedly singled out the “international mass media” for covering some of their shadier activities, insisting that they were an effort to “provoke sectarian strife” across the nation.

Discover 10 Natural Ways You Can Help Your Body Fight Acid Reflux, Heartburn, Constipation or Stomach Agony…. Starting In just 24 Hours!
The Covered-Up Cause of Acid Reflux leaves over 60 million Americans in agony
…and may actually threaten YOUR LIFE!
Big Money Medicine wants you to believe the searing pain of reflux comes from too much stomach acid.
They’ve created a $7 billion-a-year “acid blocking” business that literally stops the pumps in your stomach from making acid.
With their help, you may get temporary relief, but their solutions are only a “shell game.” As you’ll see, long term use of these acid blockers can lead to worse symptoms…dependency on these medications—and ironically, different acid reflux problems once you stop taking them!
The Medical Establishment’s answer has been a colossal failure, leaving millions dependent on acid blockers and ignoring the real problem.
Trying to block stomach acid can ruin your digestion because it allows poisons into your bloodstream that wreak havoc on your immune system!
Acid reflux can be controlled, even conquered—safely and naturally
—but only if you address the real trigger.
The Truth About Stomach Acid Nobody’s Talking About
If you want complete natural relief from acid reflux, you must first know the real story about acid.
Most people think acid in your stomach is a bad thing. But that’s a big misconception! Acid is not a bad thing.
In fact, your stomach was created to be an “acid chamber” to help digest food and proteins.
Ideally, your stomach should have a pH (acid/alkaline) reading of 3 or less—which is acidic. Zero pH is highly acidic…7 pH is neutral…and 14 pH is highly alkaline.
Why does your stomach need acid? For three important reasons:
- Your stomach needs acid so it can breakdown and absorb vitamins and nutrients from food and supplements. Without this acid, your health is drained.
- Your stomach needs acid to breakdown proteins into amino acids. Without this acid, your strength is zapped.
- Your stomach needs acid to destroy incoming bacteria and pathogens. Without this acid, you’re vulnerable to many health problems.
So the worst thing you can do is block your stomach’s ability to produce acid! This fact should have you steaming mad if you have acid reflux, and if you’ve been depending on typical “acid blocking” solutions!
If that’s the case, then you may be wondering, what triggers the excess acid that causes acid reflux? Good question.
The real trigger of acid reflux is …
too much red meat protein, sugar, coffee, soda drinks, chocolate, greasy fried foods, processed foods with artificial sweeteners and preservatives plus the overuse of antibiotics (which kill off “good” bacteria), even lack of sleep…stress… being overweight can trigger acid reflux!
As a result, your food you eat is not digested and broken down properly. Clumps of undigested food starts to ferment and rot, which produces an overgrowth of acid.
This glut of acid easily build ups and overflows into areas it was never intended to go, such as your esophagus.
So you end up with a “reflux” of acid…a burning sensation in your chest or throat…heartburn…stomach pains…constipation …PLUS
- Your immune systems is weakened
- Harmful bacteria, toxins and poisons flood your bloodstream
- It’s harder for you to absorb vitamins and nutrients from foods and supplements
- Undigested food ferments in your gut
- Acid levels significantly rise, setting the stage for acid reflux
So what can we do?
10 Tips For Reducing Constant Constipation and Acid reflux
- Eat smaller portion sizes and more frequent meals.
- Eat more slowly.
- Avoid spicy or fatty foods.
- Avoid binge and overeating.
- Do not lie down immediately after a meal. Go for a walk
- Lower your alcohol consumption.
- Stop smoking.
- Try to limit the amount of meat protein you eat each day to -2-3 ounces.
- Exercise regularly.
- Discuss all options with your doctor. Ask the doctor regarding side effects of medication that may affect digestion
Research Note: Robert Riess, health researcher, says the latest clinical studies out of Norway reveal that specific Salmon Protein Peptides may compensate for digestive limitations by providing all required amino acids in free, digested form.
That means that you no longer have to rely on a compromised digestion system to do the work of breaking down the nutrients. No other protein in the world can do this!
As a result, you can support your fight against constipation, weight gain, heartburn and bloating- plus more serious consequences if the situation is not addressed on a timely basis.

Oaksterdam University to Prepare D.C. Residents to Work in the Legal Cannabis Industry
Oaksterdam University – which calls itself the nation’s only recognized cannabis college – On June 27 and 28 will bring to Washington, DC, the city’s first certified career training program for candidates seeking to enter the legal cannabis industry.
The two-day event, to be held at the Capital Hilton located at 1001 16th Street, NW, is sponsored by local cannabis entrepreneur Ben David Sheppard and his portfolio of cannabis companies, MD Canna-Care & Cultivation, House of Jane and Jane’s Brew Gourmet Coffees teas and other fine edibles.
The training will provide participants with the critical information they need to pursue a cannabis career, from opening a dispensary or delivery business, to structuring a legal cannabis entity, understanding their legal rights under the District’s and other states’ laws, bud tending, vending and more. The Washington, DC, certification program is a good testing ground for Oaksterdam as it eyes Washington, DC, as a potential headquarters for its planned East Coast campus.
When the District of Columbia approved Initiative 71 last November, it made possession of marijuana legal in the city. Officials estimate that the local marijuana economy could become $130 million annually. And, CannaInsider has estimated that states with legal cannabis laws will create more than 200,000 new industry jobs in 2015 alone.

Tron (TRX) founder Justin Sun has revealed to journalists in Singapore that he is interested in buying FTX assets. wall street journal report November 22.
A popular crypto founder told the Journal that his peers are currently evaluating the process of purchasing some assets in bankrupt crypto exchanges.
Sun reportedly said:
“We are open to any kind of deal. I think all options [are] on the table. We are currently evaluating the assets one by one, but as far as I understand they are already in this kind of bankruptcy proceedings, so the process will be lengthy. “
Sun added that Huobi and Tron executives are currently negotiating with FTX in the Bahamas.
The declaration makes Huobi’s global advisors the latest crypto advocates to show interest in a difficult corporate asset. His CEO of Ripple, Brad Garlinghouse, recently revealed that the crypto clearing firm is interested in buying a portion of his FTX assets.
Sun was one of the first people Sam Bankman-Fried contacted when FTX ran into liquidity problems.
Sun initially announced plans to work with the FTX team to save the exchange to enable withdrawals and trading of tokens associated with him.
Meanwhile, Sun also said that the FTX demise would be a major obstacle to the growth of the cryptocurrency industry. According to him, the collapse would leave a bad impression on mainstream views of the industry.

HAMPTON — Nobody said it was going to be easy.
And they were right.
A year-and-a-half after a citizens' group began work on the city's Comprehensive Plan and just a month away from a public hearing before the Planning Commission and the City Council, the group is still facing a major dilemma in Northampton.
The problem is to find a north-south neighborhood street that will keep the area's traffic off Big Bethel Road, a major arterial road that is supposed to handle traffic getting from one part of the city to another.
Two proposals under consideration are pitting the interests of the exclusive Farmington subdivision against a planned church complex, an apartment complex with mostly elderly tenants and residents of the new Michael's Woods subdivision.
One proposal would extend Whealton Road across Big Bethel and along the edge of Farmington. Another would extend Whealton through an undeveloped strip beneath a power line easement that separates two sections of Farmington.
"That would appear to split the neighborhood," said Al Kunkel, a Farmington resident. The neighborhood has no civic association, but Kunkel is the head of the community's neighborhood watch.
Both roads would achieve the goal of easing traffic on Big Bethel, said Chief Planner Terry O'Neill. But some mem bers of the group are pushing the road through Farmington because it offers an opportunity the other route does not.
Linda McNeeley, president of a local group advocating more parks and recreational facilities, said the power line's path has room for a two-lane road plus a bike path, jogging trails and possibly horseback riding trails.
After leaving Farmington residents on each side with 55-foot backyards, 180 feet are left for the road and the trails.
Though the road wouldn't necessarily tie in to a planned 450-acre park north of Michael's Woods, the trails could.
Several months ago, the group studying the plan had apparently ironed out the Northampton problem. Whealton Road was set to be extended parallel to Big Bethel, creating a way for neighborhood traffic from Farmington and Michael's Woods to get north and south without using Big Bethel.
Since then, a Baptist church that is planning to build a 40-acre complex and R.C. Mallory, who owns an apartment complex the road would pass within 25 feet of, have raised questions about the proposed road.
The road would also tie into Michael's Woods Drive at its northern end. That connection would mean the city would have to buy at least three houses to punch the road through.
Mallory claimed placing the road so close to his complex would turn it into a slum.
He at first suggested that the city return to a plan to extend Farmington Boulevard.
When Farmington was first developed, Farmington Boulevard was seen as a major north-south street that would eventually tie into what is now known as the Hampton Roads Center Parkway.
The developer built the street as he developed lots. So the divided boulevard in effect had built-in opposition to expansion.
A few years ago Farmington residents convinced the council not to extend the street.
Hiking and biking trails are gaining popularity in other areas. In Northern Virginia, a linear park along the rail lines of the Old Dominion Railway runs from downtown Rosslyn to Leesburg.
Farmington residents so far have been cool to the idea, favoring pushing the road back out of their neighborhood.
Farmington and Michael's Woods residents will be meeting on their own next week to try to work out a solution.
They will discuss their pro posals with the study group Sept. 26.
The Planning Commission and the City Council are scheduled to hear the plan Oct. 25.

SUMMIT TWP., MI - Mary Gooze swims.
She swims for miles on open water, moving steadily across lakes all over the country.
It gives her focus.
It gives her purpose as she faces the cancer that is certain to take her life.
"When you are diagnosed with a terminal disease, it can be pretty bleak," Gooze, 64, said Saturday morning. "This has given me hope."
Visit Mary Gooze's website, One woman many lakes.
The retired teacher, diagnosed in 2014 with Stage IV or metastatic breast cancer, was standing in the yard outside the home of her nephew, Nick Sheldon, and his wife, Tovah, on Browns Lake.
She and about a dozen supporters began a two-mile swim around the lake Saturday morning as part of Gooze's "One woman many lakes" campaign.
Browns Lake is the 19th lake she visited, at her nephew's invitation, for a long swim to raise money and awareness.
So far, she has collected more than $35,000. Her goal is to "hang around long enough" to raise $1 million to fight a cancer she said people fail to remember.
Every year, 40,000 people die of metastatic breast cancer and only 2 percent of breast cancer research dollars fund efforts related to treating or curing it.
"We say Stage IV, we are the forgotten group. Because there's not a happy ending," said Gooze, who grew up in Blissfield, southeast of Adrian, but now lives near Madison, Wisc.
She attended Western Michigan University, graduating in 1973, and Saturday, many of her former sorority sisters came to the event. Looking energetic and happy, Gooze greeted them with hugs and enthusiasm.
There were a few tears; Gooze became emotional as she told the crowd the story of a 39-year-old mother and environmentally conscious lawyer whose funeral was planned for Saturday. Gooze dedicated the swim to her.
But mostly, the mood was light and fun among a group of people who clearly support and adore Gooze.
"I think it is amazing. It really amazes me," Mary Yankovich of Grand Rapids, one of the sorority sisters, said of Gooze's efforts.
As she and others talked, reminiscing and chatting, Gooze pulled on a wetsuit in preparation for the swim.
"She's always been a go-getter," another former house mate, Nancy Blow of Ann Arbor, said. "Never sits around."
Gooze has been a swimmer since she was old enough to be tossed in the water. She began swimming laps about 40 years ago.
She used to do sprint triathalons but the cancer affected the bones in her hip and she can no longer run.
The swimming, she finds, is therapeutic. "I feel the best I've felt in a year."
She recognizes, however, how quickly her condition can change. "Like that," she said and snapped her fingers.
Gooze was first diagnosed in January 2012 with breast cancer. It was detected early and she underwent nine months of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation.
A mere 20 months after her last radiation treatment, she received word that the cancer had spread to her bones and was causing the pain in her hip, according to information posted on her website. "Now the real fight had begun."
She already was training for a 2.25-mile swim in Lake Washington in Seattle. Her oncologist permitted she complete the swim and she "felt so good" as she emerged from the water. "The seed was kind of planted then," Gooze said.
Gooze, always accompanied by her husband Rob in a kayak, has since been to Lake Michigan in South Haven, Lake Superior in Marquette, Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis and spots throughout Wisconsin and other states.
She and Rob Gooze have been alone. Other times, they have companions.
Her cousin Georgina Rozeboom-Doster of Doster, near Plainwell, swam Saturday. She had breast cancer twice and just recently had a clean mammogram.
Because of their shared history, she relates to Gooze and the cause. "I think it is great," she said. "Not a lot of people would put forth that kind of energy, commitment."
Everyone with cancer has some way of coping. "This is hers," Gooze's brother-in-law, Mike Sheldon, said of Gooze.
His wife, Kathy, is the only member of Gooze's immediate family who has remained cancer-free. Another sister had breast cancer and both Gooze's parents died of cancer.
The Sheldons live in Blissfield and went to Wisconsin when Gooze learned the cancer had spread. It was a difficult trip, he said, but they would take it again.
He was looking toward the lake, where Kathy Sheldon, who swims every day and undergos frequent health checks, was in the water with her sister.
Observers on shore could no longer see Gooze.
She had quickly progressed, swiftly passing the boats and docks lining the shore as she made her way around the lake.
"She just keeps going and going," Mike Sheldon said.

Although school has started for human kids, summer temps continue here in the desert not fit for man or beast! My family and I decided to hit higher ground and took off for Flagstaff, Arizona. With an elevation of just under 7,000 feet, Flagstaff is the gateway to the San Francisco Peaks, the tallest mountains in Arizona. Flagstaff is located in northern Arizona and has a population around 70,000 humans. I don’t know how many dogs they have, but I saw a ton of them! Woof! Flagstaff is very friendly to my kind with many restaurants welcoming us. Good humans.
Flagstaff is full of parks and trail systems that connect. Be sure to visit Buffalo Park while in town. It has a two-mile easy loop that is perfect for an evening stroll. Thorpe Park has what they call a Bark Park, a fenced area where dogs can run free. I made an appearance and made the rounds. For a bigger adventure, we chose to hike Sandy’s Canyon to Walnut Canyon. We took Lake Mary Road 5.5 miles to the Canyon Vista Campground sign on our left and turned toward the camp ground. Parking just outside the camp ground is free, and it is a short walk to the trail head. My humans thought the signs were a bit confusing. You’ll have several options to choose from with easy and short to moderate and long. In my opinion, they all smelled great! Woof! Sandy’s Canyon to Walnut Canyon is a 7.2 mile hike (out and back), or you could hike to the top of Fisher’s Point, shorter but steeper.
We chose Sandy’s Canyon to Walnut Canyon, a scenic trail through mountain meadows, lush canyons, cool tree-covered ridges, and cool caves. We were immediately greeted with a view of the San Francisco Peaks. How inspiring! The trail starts at the top of the canyon and meanders down. However far you go, remember you will need to hike back out. Bring plenty of water as the streams will most likely be dry unless you hike right after a rain storm.
The trail has plenty of shade, but it also has some hot spots. I needed to rest a couple of times. Oofda. I am still getting used to the desert heat. Even though we were at high elevations, the temps were still in the 80s. Humans need to look out for their pups. My dad gave me plenty of water from his Camelbak, which he filled with lots of ice to keep it cold. What a good daddy! I stayed hydrated, and downward we went into Sandy’s Canyon on a rocky but relatively easy trail.
Sandy’s Canyon connects with the path to Walnut Canyon, a protected area. The trail narrows, and the grasses get really tall. This is a great place to have lunch and watch for wildlife. Several caves are carved out of the canyon walls, and they make a nice resting spot. The caves were at least 10 degrees cooler. Ahhhh!
After a nice picnic lunch in Walnut Canyon and some cave exploring, we headed back up. The trail isn’t super steep but will be a challenge for your dog with higher temps. Go slow with plenty of water and rest breaks. Between meadows, mountain fields, and canyons, the scenery keeps you motivated. Oh the smells! A lovely breeze was blowing all sorts of scents my way. Woof!
We had a great hike and met many others enjoying the trail. Afterwards, we headed to the Wildflower Bread Company on Piccadilly for a nice meal. They have a dedicated doggy patio in the shade with water bowls. I was fed salmon. Yes, life is good! Flagstaff gets high marks, and I hope you’ll give it a try and head to the hills.

Parisb31cbf4199c13af8cecc7187c6805ce315298078Protesters' shouts of "no justice, no peace" ring out over the rows upon rows cars forced a standstill on the 405, one of Los Angeles’ busiest highways, on a July night in 2016. This recent protest by Black Lives Matter is notable and representative of an emergent social movement strategy. More than more than half of the 1400 protests relating to Black Lives Matter movement in nearly 300 U.S. and international cities from August 2015 to November 2015 effectively shut down transportation infrastructure (Badger, 2016). This contemporary activist practice is as a logical tactic that shares roots with the historical occupations of schools, restaurants and administrative offices that occurred during protests in the civil rights movement in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s, as an earlier generation of activists rallied against racial segregation. Contemporary highways are historically situated sites of contestation in which previous generations of racialized communities have paid the high price for Los Angeles’ development into a renowned center of both commerce and culture.Through this project we demonstrate why Los Angeles highways have become a productive site of protest, as well as provide an easily accessible digital archive of materials related to activism in Los Angeles to inspire and inform contemporary activists, researchers, and students.

amazing views... a magic veil... and a couple in love.
Updated: Sep 2, 2020
Photos: ArtVesta Studio
Some of the best views of Manhattan are just outside of Manhattan! The Ravel Hotel in Long Island City sits at the banks of the East River, next to the 59th Street Bridge, opposite Midtown Manhattan.
Kelsie and Noah picked the stylish hotel as the backdrop for their summer wedding. And then they made the most of Ravel's views with their photos.
...beginning with the "first look." The adorable couple (and self-proclaimed "acapella nerds") decided to have the moment when Kelsie reveals herself (and her dress) to Noah on the hotel's rooftop terrace.
The Ravel Hotel's 10th floor terrace has the LIC side of New York's 59th Street Bridge so close, you feel as though you can touch it. Fun fact: 170,277 cars a day travel over the 59th Street Bridge. Some of them were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Kelsie and Noah as they passed.
From Ravel's terrace, you can also see the famous Silvercup Studios in the background. Fun fact: some television series currently shooting at Silvercup include: HBO's "Succession," "Jack Ryan" on Netflix, and TVland's "Younger" starring Sutton Foster. Ms. Foster did not attend Kelsie and Noah's wedding. She wasn't invited.
Downstairs, back on the gritty, textured streets of LIC, Kelsie and Noah continued with their pre-ceremony photos. Photographer Tatiana Valerie of ArtVesta Studio captured this image of Kelsie's magic veil (below).
Kelsie and Noah enjoyed a phenomenally lively, energetic wedding. Towards the end of the night, went back up to Ravel's rooftop terrace- where their day began- to once again take advantage of the views, this time, over on the other side, where the illuminated Manhattan provided a backdrop as dynamic as the newly married couple.

Columbiana and West Branch got together on a chilly Wednesday afternoon at the University of Mount Union for both squads first chance to face opposing pitching and practice on a field. With the cold and wet weather that has been present so far this spring it was an opportunity for many players to get an opportunity to see some live action.
Riley McElwain, Seth Spooner, Zachary Pleska, Alex Eusebio and Devin Daugherty all saw action on the mound as the Clippers and Warriors played 8 innings. The scrimmage was played in a controlled environment with strict pitch counts on pitchers along with situations where innings were started with runners on base.
In a typical early spring training game, 20 players saw action for Columbiana whether it was in the field, at the plate or on the bases.
The Clippers next opportunity for live action will be Thursday March 17th when the Marlington Dukes come to town. The scheduled start time is 4:30.

Lhe coronavirus has helped make people rich…even richer. The fortunes of the ten wealthiest men in the world have doubled since the start of the pandemic while the incomes of 99% of humanity have melted, according to a shock report by Oxfam, unveiled on Monday January 17. “The increase in economic, gender and racial inequalities and inequalities between countries are destroying our world”, denounces the NGO fighting against poverty, in a report entitled “Inequality kills” and published on the edge of the Forum of Davos.
The cumulative fortune of all billionaires has experienced since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic “its largest increase ever recorded”, from 5,000 billion dollars, to reach its highest level, “to 13,800 billion. . The ten richest people in the world include, according to the magazine Forbes, Elon Musk, Tesla boss, Jeff Bezos (Amazon), Bernard Arnault (LVMH), Bill Gates (Microsoft), Mark Zuckerberg (Meta-Facebook), Warren Buffett (Berkshire Hathaway), Larry Ellison (Oracle).
The NGO adds that “we can overcome extreme poverty through progressive taxation” and public health systems that are free for all. Oxfam also recommends not to hinder the creation of unions and to remove intellectual property from vaccine patents.

“The billionaires had a tremendous pandemic”
According to Oxfam, inequality contributes to the deaths of “at least 21,000 people a day” based on global deaths from lack of access to health care, gender-based violence, hunger and the climate crisis. “A windfall tax of 99% on the pandemic income of the ten richest men would produce enough vaccines for the world, provide universal social and medical protection, fund climate adaptation and reduce climate-related violence. gender in 80 countries”, gives the example of the NGO.
She specifies that this would still leave “8 billion more than before the pandemic for these men”. “Billionaires had a tremendous pandemic. Central banks injected trillions of dollars into the financial markets to save the economy, many of which ended up in the pockets of billionaires. »
The World Economic Forum warned for its part that the wide inequalities in access to vaccines against Covid-19 risked weakening the fight for major international causes, such as climate change. The face-to-face Davos Forum has been postponed to the summer due to the Omicron variant, but an online edition opens Monday and runs through January 21.

Kinder Morgan, Inc. (Houston), one of North America’s largest energy infrastructure companies, is partnering with Neste Corp. (Espoo, Finland), one of the leading providers of renewable and circular solutions, to create a premier domestic raw material storage and logistics hub in the United States, supporting increased production of renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuel and renewable feedstock for polymers and chemicals. Upon completion of the project, Kinder Morgan’s Harvey, Louisiana facility will serve as the primary hub where Neste will store a variety of raw materials including, for example, the used cooking oil it collects from more than 40,000 restaurants across the United States.
As part of the initial, committed phases of the project, Kinder Morgan will modify existing tanks and piping to enable segregated storage for a variety of raw material across 30 tanks. The scope of work also includes the installation of a new boiler for heating tanks and railcars and infrastructure improvements for rail, truck and marine movements. The project, which is supported by a long-term commercial commitment from Neste, is expected to commence operations in the first quarter of 2023. At Neste’s option, the facility can be further expanded.
“This clearly shows the positive role America’s existing energy infrastructure can play in creating a sustainable future and fighting climate change,” says Jeremy Baines, President of Neste U.S. “Neste and Kinder Morgan are transforming existing terminal assets into what can be considered green infrastructure, which will ultimately enable more American businesses and cities to power their fleets and supply chains with renewable fuels and other products.”
The commitment is one of Neste’s largest to date in the U.S., supporting a more resilient, flexible and sustainable supply chain that can keep pace with the company’s growing production capacity and increasing global demand for lower-emission products. It enhances Neste’s leading position, building on the company’s more than 15-year head start in creating an end-to-end renewable product value chain.
In the long term, the project could also help improve the lifecycle climate benefits and competitiveness of Neste’s renewable products through more efficient and less carbon intensive supply chain operations. Renewable fuels offer an immediate way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from aviation and heavy duty road transport in the US. Neste’s renewable feedstock for polymers and chemicals manufacturing can also significantly reduce the carbon footprint of the end products.
In fact, Neste’s renewable products prevented over 40 million tons of new GHG emissions from entering the atmosphere over the last five years – the same climate benefits as building 8,300 wind turbines or making 10.8 million cars zero emission according to the U.S. EPA’s GHG calculator.
Kinder Morgan is a trusted partner for Neste, with a strong history of collaboration between the two companies. In 2020, Neste began supplying sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) directly to San Francisco International (SFO) airport via a Kinder Morgan pipeline. More than 1 million gallons of SAF have been supplied into SFO to date.

BASF will build a commercial scale battery recycling black mass plant in Schwarzheide, Germany. This investment strengthens BASF’s cathode active materials (CAM) production and recycling hub in Schwarzheide. The site is an ideal location for the build-up of battery recycling activities given the presence of many EV car manufacturers and cell producers in Central Europe.
Clariant says it is reducing its number of businesses from five to three, by merging units, under a reorganization that is in line with the company’s purpose-led strategy and cultural transformation. The moves will position Clariant for long-term sustainable growth, the company says.
Chemicals & plastics industry has the most diversified end-use market across all manufacturing industries. The industry returned to growth in 2021 but a supply chain crunch prevented it from becoming stronger. The market is likely to stabilize in the second half of 2022 with a supply-demand balance.


After releasing her most commercially successful solo album to date last year with “Here I Am”, Kelly Rowland is already back in the studio less than a year later preparing the follow up. Kelly experienced global success as part of Destiny’s Child, but she managed to have her star shine even brighter last year with her first #1 solo album and #1 single “Motivation”. Eric Bellinger, a writer/producer who’s currently working with her on the upcoming project, shed some light on the details exclusively to YouKnowIGotSoul.
“Kelly’s album is going to hit home for a lot of people for both women and men. I look at it as like how Steve Harvey just did the “Think Like a Man” movie”, said Eric Bellinger. “Her album is going to be like “Think Like a Woman” because “Think Like a Man” really told everyone what men think about with everyday life. With hers, she’s kind of letting us know in the female mind, so I think that was a good approach.”
Though we will probably never see another Destiny’s Child album, it’s clear that Kelly has not been overshadowed by Beyonce’s success and has built a great career of her own. Stay tuned to YouKnowIGotSoul in the coming months as Kelly’s upcoming album continues to take shape.
There is currently no release date for Kelly’s so far untitled album.

In a reading from her new memoir, A Lifetime of Luck and Pluck, Hammel will relate her 2016 essay “My Car Is Gone” with others ranging from her story covering the 1956 marriage of Grace Kelly to the Prince of Monaco to earlier experiences such as working in the Betty Crocker kitchens and becoming a radio broadcaster in Indiana and New York.
Returning home to Minnesota, she began a career in the advertising agency business. Her lucky day, she says, was meeting and marrying Richard Hammel, co-founder of HGA Architects & Engineers.
After his sudden death in 1986, she began writing about architecture for various magazines, and later became author of four books including Legendary Homes of Lake Minnetonka. She describes her new memoir as essays written in an “easybreezy” style. A Lifetime of Luck and Pluck, published by Nodin Press, will be available at all Twin City bookstores and priced at $16.95.

For the crust:
- 1 ¼ cups/160 grams all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup/40 grams confectioners’ sugar, plus more for dusting
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 10 tablespoons/140 grams cold unsalted butter, cubed
For the curd:
- 1 ½ cups/300 grams granulated sugar
- ¾ cup/180 milliliters fresh lemon juice (from 4 to 8 lemons)
- 3 large egg yolks
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- Pinch of fine sea salt
- 8 tablespoons/113 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), diced
- ½ tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
- 1 ½ teaspoons finely grated lime zest (optional or substitute lemon zest)
- ¾ cup/80 grams fresh blueberries
Note: The information shown is Edamam’s estimate based on available ingredients and preparation. It should not be considered a substitute for a professional nutritionist’s advice.
Nutritional analysis per serving (16 servings)258 calories; 14 grams fat; 9 grams saturated fat; 1 gram trans fat; 4 grams monounsaturated fat; 1 gram polyunsaturated fat; 31 grams carbohydrates; 0 grams dietary fiber; 22 grams sugars; 3 grams protein; 67 milligrams sodium;
- Heat oven to 325 degrees and line a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper so it hangs over the edges on all sides by a few inches. (You may need to use two pieces of parchment.)
- Make the crust: In the bowl of a food processor, pulse to combine the flour, confectioners’ sugar, lemon zest and salt. Add butter and pulse until a crumbly dough forms, about 10 seconds. (Or mix dry ingredients in a bowl and use pastry cutter to cut in butter, clumping the mixture together in your hands until it holds together.) Press dough into prepared pan. Bake until light golden, 25 to 35 minutes.
- As crust bakes, make the curd: In a medium pot, whisk together the granulated sugar, lemon juice, egg yolks, whole eggs, cornstarch and fine sea salt until well combined. Place over medium heat and stir with a heatproof rubber spatula (or wooden spoon), making sure to scrape around the sides and edges of the pot, until mixture is simmering and thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Bring mixture to a boil and let cook for about 30 seconds, but no longer than 1 minute. Immediately strain through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl. Stir in butter, lemon zest and lime zest, and stir until butter melts. Stir in blueberries.
- Pour mixture over crust, then stir to evenly distribute berries. Return to oven, and bake until blueberries begin to burst and curd starts to turn golden around the edges, 33 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool to room temperature. Chill in the refrigerator until thoroughly cold before cutting, at least 3 hours. Dust lightly with confectioners’ sugar right before serving.
