A super indulgent Low Fat Chocolate Mug Cake recipe, to cheat on your diet WITHOUT cheating!
A Mug Cake with only 138 calories without chocolate chips OR 219 calories including them! Because when you want cake…you want cake! Over the years, I’ve fallen victim to dry, dense, chewy and rubbery mug cakes, Mug cakes that taste like an egg omelette made out of rubber. Cakes so dense it’s hard to put a spoon in. Disasters.
Mug Cake Recipe
Until this mug cake came along; stole my beating heart and took my breath away. Chocolate seems to have that effect on me, and I’m sure on you too, since you’re here with me — by my side — committing a non-crime on our diets, together. In fact,, it’s been included in my diet — maybe every third day or so for about a year now — for breakfast. Why? Because it’s less in points and calories than a bowl of medium-sized, mediocre flavoured, cardboard textured cereal.
Dipping your spoon into this cake is met with a soft, buttery, rich and fluffy moment.
The ONLY dilemma you may have, is deciding what to eat it with. Plain is just as amazing as drowning in ice cream to frozen yogurt.
How To Make A Mug Cake
Unsweetened cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, milk, melted butter, chocolate chips (of COURSE)…and a microwave safe mug. Typical cake ingredients, but not your typical cake baking. Sometimes we don’t have an hour to stand by the oven and cross our fingers something will rise to the occasion and full-fill our every need and desire when it’s ready. No. I don’t have time for those simple pleasures. I do, however, have time to wait around my microwave for a minute.
All 12 times making this, it took me about a minute to get it all together…
Including whisking a cake batter and taste testing more than three times JUST TO MAKE SURE I liked it. You understand, right?
And out comes a thing of beauty with a perfect soft top. So perfect, I cradled it every single time I made it, proud and smug, before sinking my spoon in and feeling that soft, moist cake softness. For breakfast. As a snack. For dessert. Whatever. When it’s low cal, it doesn’t really matter, right?
I mean… look into THAT centre. Excuse me while I go make another one.

Low Fat Chocolate Mug Cake
- 2 tablespoons (1 oz | 30 g) self raising flour
- 1 tablespoon natural granulated sweetener to keep calorie count low (if white, raw or coconut sugar, and counting your calories, remember to add this in)
- 2 level teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder for a mild chocolate cake OR 1 tablespoon for a darker , richer chocolate cake
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon reduced fat butter , melted (or coconut oil)
- 2 tablespoons (40ml) unsweetened almond milk (or skim milk for an extra point) *2 1/2 tablespoons of milk if using 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1/8 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 tablespoon mini chocolate chips of choice (milk or dark), divided *optional (See Notes)
- Grab a 1/2-cup capacity mug and spray with cooking oil spray. Into the mug, add in the flour, sweetener (or sugar), cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Whisk to combine. To that, add your melted butter, milk and vanilla.
- (Optional): Fold in 1/2 tablespoon of chocolate chips. Mix them through. Top with the remaining chocolate chips.
Minute Microwave Method:
- Bake in your microwave on 'Quick' or High' setting for 40 seconds. Open the door and gently touch the top with your finger tip. If it's still a little underdone in the middle, bake for another 10 seconds until cooked through (not too long, as the cake will continue cooking in the mug once it's removed).
Oven Baked Version:
- Preheat oven to 180°C | 350°F. Spray a 1/2-cup capacity ramekin with cooking oil spray. Prepare as above and bake in the oven for around 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. (For a fudgier cake, check it after 11 minutes with a toothpick and it should come out slightly dirty, but not with a lot of cake batter attached.)
- Serve with fruit, icing sugar, ice cream, or whipped cream! Personally, I like this cake on its own.
Sooo good! Made per the directions with the 2 tsp of cocoa powder, Swerve. coconut oil, and Lily’s mini chocolate chips. Sugar free, delish, and perfect for my WW plan. Thanks!
This is by far the best mug cake I’ve tried. I had to sub a few things:
No milk at all! I was out of almond and regular so I used coffee instead and added a tsp of honey.
Unsweetened Applesauce instead of oil.
It was fantastic and I like that it didn’t make too much. Perfect for that chocolate craving.
Just made this cake and it was amazing! Perfect for when I need a little chocolate fix. The only change I made was to add a little bit of espresso powder with adds to the beautiful chocolate flavor. Thank you!

Hi Karina, I was looking for a low-calorie chocolate cake in a mug recipe and found yours. I used a tablespoon of real sugar and used coconut oil but otherwise stayed true to your recipe. The calorie count came in where I liked it using real ingredients. It was bloody fantastic! I put on a few fresh strawberries and a small dollop of whip cream. What a treat! This much lower calorie chocolate cake truly hit the spot. It was just wonderful! God bless!
This was perfect to satisfy my evening sweet tooth!! Will definitely be making it again, thanks!
Brittanie Showers says
WOW!!! I made these tonight for me and my son as a quick dessert and OMG. The recipe was super easy and quick to make. I used Truvia and vanilla almond milk in addition to the other ingredients and it hit the spot!!! The cake was super moist and melt in your mouth. I was bad and added some ice cream over the top and it was just mmm! This will be a repeat recipe in my home. Thank you!!!!
I’m on a diet and was craving somthing sweet and didn’t have milk on hand so used water and still worked out perfectly x
This was yummy, but it’s not 1 point it’s 6.
I subbed cashew milk and a full serving of Lily’s chips and got it to 4.
Its 3 points without the chocolate chips and 6 points with the chocolate chips
Love this recipe! Used butter, sugar and swapped out half the milk for Kahlua. May have added extra calories, but for the small amount of indulgence, it was totally worth it!
Kathy E. says
You have supplied me with another winner for my sweet tooth! I adjusted the baking powder to 1/8 tsp, but everything else was the same as listed. Delish and will be enjoyed here often! Thank you!
*1 point on WW purple plan!
Mmm delicious !!! Im so glad i found this recipie. Easy to make, very chocolaty ( I made it without the choc chips) and very soft and fluffy 🙂
I rarely leave comments on recipes. But sitting on the couch and devouring this goodness, I still can’t believe that i whipped this under a min and the next minute it was in my mouth. Haha. Substituted flour with whole wheat flour and used coconut oil.
P. S- saved the recipe as ‘best mugcake recipe ever’
Me too! I’ve never left a comment for a recipe. But this, THIS, recipe made me do it to show my appreciation. I can honestly say this is the best mug cake i’ve ever tried. Lovelots!
Just tried it this morning. And it’s my first time leaving comments off someone’s recipe. I just wanna say: Thank you so much for this! It’s so quick and easy, and not to mention the calorie count… 😉 I made it with self-raising cake flour, and it turned out super fluffy and moist. But I do taste the baking powder, so maybe next time I will reduce or skip it. I then topped it off with some zero calorie chocolate syrup. It was so satisfying!
Amelia Little says
This is so good!!!
Made this & it was fantastic!
Would it be as good if you left it to cool & then ate it?
I’ve literally never left a comment on a recipe before. And I try new recipes like once a week at least! I just had to come and say how good this was :O added a tiny spoon of ice cream on top and it only came out to 290 calories. Trying to stick to these New Years resolutions do thank you for a great recipe that was much needed !!
I made the regular version. It was good but next time I will mix the dry ingredients first because it had a slight baking powder taste. Thanks for the easy recipe !
I was in an experimental mood so I decided to whip this up. At first I was put off by all the ingredients. And there is a lot of sodium in this with the baking powder, self-rising flour and extra salt. So I went with the self-rising flour and skipped the rest. I used real sugar which ups the points but I don’t like some of the other options. I didn’t have milk so I subbed a vanilla protein shake for the milk. (I use it as creamer in my coffee, too). I skipped the chocolate chips and used real butter and unsweetened cocoa powder. I’m not sure of the points with all my switches but it was perfect! I didn’t believe the other reviewers who said the texture was good but it really is. I’m not a huge chocolate fan like some but I like it once in a while and this is just enough. Thanks for sharing.
this recipe is so good! it’s very rich and flavorful and the texture is perfect! i substituted half of the milk for coffee and it was amazing.
That is great to hear! Thank you so much for sharing and letting me know! Thank you for following along with me!
Hi karina! I am in love with all your recipes. THANK YOU ?SO MUCH for always sharing them with all of us! This recipe looks delicious and super easy to do. I am doing the Keto diet. Can I use Almond flour instead? Or do you have another recipe for Keto?
I wait eagerly for you respond. ?❤
Thank you so much for your sweet comment! I am so glad that you love these recipes and are following along with me! You are welcome to try the almond flour. It may alter the taste and texture a bit but it will still taste delicious! Enjoy!
Sameera Adeel says
Tried the choc mug cake… so good ! So simple n quick to make ! Really enjoy trying ur recipes !
This is so good. I reduced the sweetener and add more chocolate chips. So moist and tasty
Sounds great! So glad that you made it your own! Thank you so much for sharing and following along with me!
Love this recipe! I use maple syrup for the sugar. As weight watchers points have all changed I halve the recipe and cook it in a ramekin. With maple syrup, coconut oil and 10g of chocolate chips (and all the other ingredients) it’s 5SP (again that’s for half ).
And the rating is 5 stars not 4…. I hit the wrong key
This was awesome!! I’ve been baking for about 35 years so I was a little skeptical about all the microwave mug cakes I’ve been seeing lately. This one has definitely changed my mind! SO good! Fantastic job ?I was wondering what sweetener you use ? Thanks!
Picky eater says
This is the best mug cake ever! I used the Chocolate Chips and they made a gooey deliciousness that is heaven! I used olive oil and sugar free almond milk. Can’t wait to try this with protein powder.
I’m so glad I tried this! I doubled it and cooked it in a ramekin for my husband and I to share. I left it a little gooey in the middle, so it was like a lava cake, and I put a spoonful of light cool whip on top. It was absolutely delicious. This is a keeper. And I think I can lower the point value to 5 by using stevia sweetened chocolate chips.
Annissa Slusher says
Amazing mouth-watering and heart-warming recipe, it looks so beautiful! Keep sharing!
Can I use normal flour instead of self raising flour
You can but you will need to add baking powder Zihna. About 1/4 teaspoon.
Omg, Im so happy with this. I’ve tried so many recipes and the results were always terrible. Your mug cake is the only one that actually turns out delicious. So glad I found this recipe.
Thanks Marisabel! I’m so happy to hear that!
These are pretty good. Much better than the last one I tried.
WOW!! This mug cake is amazing! Other mug cakes I’ve tried have come out chewy but this is just like a baked cake. Light and fluffy! It’s also not overly sweet which makes me feel better eating it. I will make this mug cake again for sure! (probably with a few more chocolate chips). Thanks for sharing this!
You’re welcome Alaina! I’m so happy to hear that!
I’ve been making mug cakes for the past three years since I was amazed by a video I saw on YouTube. At first, every recipe seemed OKAY but I never ended up finishing the cake because it was as hard as leather and tasted vaguely like medicine. However, I was bored at school om day and began browing recipes for brownies and I came across this website. Now, whenever I’m done with my work in class, I find myself screenshotting recipies from your site. So I came across this particular one this morning and really wanted to try it but was also hesitant. Finally, I whipped it up (without milk bc/ there was none at home. I just added water and some more butter and it works wonderfully) ITS AMAZING! I have made it three times today (I thought it would come out bigger but it’s the perfect size for a snack) and each time it tastes soft and fresh and choclatey. Definitely sharing this with my friends 🙂
This was my first try at a mug cake and I loved it! Thanks for a delicious treat at the end of the day when I was craving chocolate!
Ahhh! I loved it. Thanks.
Casi! You’re welcome ❤
I made this and it was yummy, but when i tried counting it on smart points it came to 6SP without the chocolate chips. Am i doing something wrong?
Is this cake still only 138 calories without the ww smart points? I’m not 100% sure if it’s 138 calories on top of the ww smart points or if you mean it’s one or the other. Sorry if this doesn’t make sense but I’m unsure due to not having a clue about ww. Thank you!
What if you don’t have self rising flour. Can’t you use reg flour and just add a little more baking powder? Or do I even have to bother with adjusting it because it’s such a very small amount anyway?
I haven’t tried making the mug cake yet.
It looks absolutely delicious!
I can’t wait to try it!
Hopefully, I’ll hear from you soon!
Hi Angela! Yes! You can use regular flour and just a pinch more of baking powder 🙂
I’d just like to say that this mug cake was the first out of many, that has actually WORKED! Not to mention, it was delicious, too! Thank you so much for the great recipe. 🙂
I’m so happy to hear that Sarah! And you’re very welcome!
This is absolutely fantastic! Made it exactly as per the recipe (without the chocolate chips) and it was perfect. Soft and fluffy!
The first time I tried it – I overdid it in the microwave because it was my first time and I thought it looked a little too gooey. By the time I ate it – it was dry.
But this time – exactly 40 seconds and it was amazing!!
I had exactly 6 Smart Points left. Thank you for this wonderfully sinful tasting dessert that filled my craving!
Madhu Anvekar says
Hi Karina , I tried this recipe of yours it was really yummy , my family and me really enjoyed it . Thank you for sharing this this recipe . 🙂
Ann R says
Hi!! I’ve tried some of your recipes and they are amazing! Quick question for you, any idea of how to incorporate protein powder into this and still keep its great texture?
Hi Ann! I really can’t say as I haven’t tried it myself, but I suggest substituting 1 tablespoon of flour for 1 tablespoon protein powder. I hope that helps!
Juan carlos says
For the first time i eat a mugcake that doesn’t taste like sand or chalky texture… this is from another planet and the best GUILT-FREE… thank you so much for this easy and amazing mugcake karina… saying hi from ecuador
Just made this for dessert tonight and omg! Can’t believe how light and fluffy it is.
I follow WW and put the recipe into the recipe builder and get 4sp without choc chips?
2sp for flour
1sp for marg
1sp for milk
Have I done something wrong?
Hi Di! I’m so glad you liked it! I use unsweetened almond milk which is 0sp! 🙂 I hope that helps!
My gosh. This is amazing!!
I didn’t have flour for some weird reason so I made oat flour and it added a great texture to it. Also, using coconut oil gave it a slight tropical hint to it.
Heather izzard says
I’m new to your blog and I found this in my email box.
Naughty hubby fancied a Mars bar… Well he’s got no chance!
I snook off and made two of these, one for him exactly to your recipe, and one for me, half the sugar, substituted cocoa with half cacao and a pinch of desiccated coconut.
They were spectacular!
I got mine down to 135 kcal and it tasted sweet enough. I had a tiny blob of low fat iced cream and I’m still under my 1200 cals for the day..
Thank you ?
Hahaha that is AWESOME! Sounds like something I do all the time! I’m so happy you both enjoyed the recipe! Thank you so much for letting me know. You made my whole entire week! 🙂
Bethany @ Athletic Avocado says
This mug cake is glorious! The chocolatey-ness and gooeyness looks UNREAL! Come to mama!
YES! To everything you just said 😉
Tasbih @Cleobuttera says
Katrina! OMG I just made this and I cannot believe myself! It’s SO good! I have a chocolate mug cake recipe on my blog that is to die for, but it’s 21 freakin’ smart points! I love it but have been trying to erase it from my memory because my daily point budget can’t handle it. As soon as I saw your low-fat version, I knew I had to try it. Girl this is so going to be my daily treat from now on. Best 6 points EVER! I’m definitely going to be sharing this revelation with my WW Connect friends and send some love over to your blog. Thanks for an amazing, figure friendly recipe 🙂
Tasbih! Wow girl I’m so happy YOU tried this!!! How good is it? Especially for our special kind of sweet teeth 😉 I won’t like, it’s been making an appearance over here daily too! Haha!
Karina!!!!! Again another delightful recipe that never fails to exceed.
I tried mug cakes before (in an oven cos I didn’t have a microwave then) and was disappointed at the taste.
Just this morning I made one batch and immediately had to make a double batch straight after. It was relish!!!!! Was worried on how it would taste cos I had no mile or cocoa powder but it was awesome. Again subbed flour for unflavoured protein powder and used flavour god chocolate donut seasoning in place of coca powder #Heaven.
You are seriously the best xoxo
Sounds amazing Irawo!
Taylor @ Food Faith Fitness says
I know EXACTLY how I am spending my weekend…and that is eating 194039204 of these glorious mug cakes! I seriously can’t believe that these are low fat! You are amazing!
Haha thanks Taylor! I hope you enjoyed them!

In an unprecedented development, the mainstream media is reporting that doctors in New York state are treating coronavirus patients with high doses of vitamin C. The reports, carried on media websites in the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries, describe how patients who received vitamin C did “significantly better” than those who didn’t receive it. Building on the successful treatment of coronavirus patients in China with vitamin C, the development comes only days after the publication of Dr. Rath’s Open Letter addressing the people and governments of the world. Summarizing how vitamin C and other micronutrients can help in viral infections, Dr. Rath’s letter has already been read by tens of thousands of people worldwide.
Speaking to the New York Post newspaper, Dr. Andrew G. Weber, a pulmonologist and critical care specialist on Long Island, said he now immediately gives his intensive care coronavirus patients 1,500 milligrams of intravenous vitamin C. This treatment is then repeated three or four times a day. A spokesman for Northwell Health, which runs 23 hospitals and is the largest healthcare provider in New York state, told the New York Post that vitamin C is now being “widely used” as a coronavirus treatment at its facilities.
Significantly, Dr. Weber describes how vitamin C levels in coronavirus patients fall dramatically when they suffer sepsis, a life-threatening inflammatory response that occurs when their bodies overreact to the infection, and how it therefore makes sense to address this. Weber’s observation mirrors that of Dr. Paul E. Marik, an intensive-care unit physician at the Eastern Virginia Medical School in the United States who we have written about previously, whose use of an intravenous combination of vitamin C, vitamin B1 and the hormone hydrocortisone has shown remarkable results in the treatment of sepsis.
While the mainstream media’s worldwide information block on natural therapies remains largely in place, the publication of this story by some mainstream outlets is a sign that our message about the role of micronutrients in fighting infections is beginning to get through. Given the scientific and clinical evidence supporting vitamin-based approaches, the continued failure by governments to make any significant mention of nutrition in their coronavirus instructions to the public is an outright dereliction of their duty of care.
As Dr. Rath’s Open Letter describes, science-based natural health measures can help people everywhere in the current pandemic. The only reason why such approaches are not yet being widely used is that our healthcare systems are still largely dominated by the influence of the trillion-dollar a year pharmaceutical investment industry, whose business model is built on the production of patented synthetic drugs. The growing popularity of non-patentable safe and effective natural health approaches represents a direct financial threat to this business model.
Ultimately, in order for ‘Health for All’ to be achieved, it is vital that we break down the worldwide information block on natural therapies. Without the existence of such a blockade, the restrictions on our civil rights that have placed entire countries in lockdown, creating unprecedented damage to the global economy, could never have happened. By sharing the scientific facts about natural therapies as widely as possible, millions of lives can be saved. Since the discovery of the first vitamins more than a century ago, there has never been a time when the need to do this was higher or more urgent.

The Cubs won their fifth in a row.
Albert Almora Jr. and Kyle Hendricks helped lead the Cubs to this win, which clinched a winning season. They were 82-66, led the N.L. Central by four games, and reduced their magic number to 11.
They have done just that, in decisive fashion, and over the last two days have looked a lot like the team that won it all in 2016. That’s not hype, either, that’s how I really see it. And if, as Kris Bryant said, it took the incident with John Lackey and Willson Contreras Friday afternoon to light a fire under this team — well, whatever it takes.
The Cubs got an outstanding outing from Kyle Hendricks, three big hits from Albert Almora Jr., good defensive plays when they needed them, and a welcome-back pinch homer by Addison Russell and defeated the Cardinals 4-1 for their fifth straight win.
Hendricks retired the first six Cardinals before a pair of hits and a sacrifice bunt put St. …Read the Rest

Tips about Winning in Online Slots
In online Slots, the virtual slot machine game does not have any dependence upon the physical located area of the casino where it really is physically installed. It really is very easily pulled up, plugged in, and started inside a few seconds. Likewise, more often than not, the identical name found in an offline casino can be available on the net. The denomination is generally $.01 on both.
The only real significant difference between your two is that the latter will not require any withdrawal or deposit of funds to the bank beforehand. Participants participate through their pcs via the Internet. The overall game is played in “ratio” games where the object is to beat the dealer. Each time one plays in “ratio” video games, the chances of winning are increased. This is how the online Slot machine games and offline casinos differ, with regard to the incentives for players taking part in both types of the game.
Although the exact mechanics of the overall game differ, the basic principle of paylines and symbols is the same everywhere. In online Slots, symbols discover paylines – either horizontal or vertical. The leftmost symbol signifies the win, while the rightmost one means a loss. Winning pays more points. Losing pays fewer factors.
Paylines in online slots happen to be represented by circles with different color symbols. The circle surrounds a single vertical line. When the line ends, the circle tips to some other win or loss. There are different types of reels used in online slots. Some of these reels have vertical bars, while others consist of horizontal bars.
The largest difference between online slot machine games and the real casinos is the amount of money that can be won. At the casino, playing can last from as little as two minutes up to around 30 minutes. Unlike in online Slots, winning doesn’t immediately deduct from the players’ funds. It is a game which might be won within a few seconds. In this way, it is considerably faster to play in online slot machine games than it could be in real casinos, allowing individuals to enjoy their time on the slot machine without losing excess amount.
Because you can find no real cash prizes by the end of every round in online Slots, bonuses are accustomed to encourage players to keep playing. Bonuses tend to be given whenever a player bets their first ever blackjack bonus level, or if they win their primary jackpot prize. Furthermore, some online casinos offer smaller sums of change as bonuses whenever online slots players play their loyalty card game for at least three minutes. These smaller amounts of change add up quickly, making it possible for online slots players to build up a great deal of money. Unfortunately, the only way that players can use these bonuses is by playing more than their limit.
Another way that online slots 온라인 카지노 사이트 might help one play their slots online free of charge is by offering them usage of the free spins bonus. Totally free spins allow individuals to play extra spins without depositing any income or spending any money on actual tickets. This allows for players to increase their chances of winning by playing more often and utilizing the free spin time to improve their chances of earning jackpots along with other prizes through cautious and skillful have fun with.
One of the best ways to win in online slots is to play for high win restrictions. High win limits are achieved by playing with reels which contain numerous small paylines that have a higher payoff. Ideally, these paylines should be drawn from many different coins that can come in various colors or combinations. Nevertheless, you can only determine their win limits based on their luck. That is why, you should know which reels and shades are the best combination so that you can successfully earn.

Google announced the expansion of User Choice Payments for the Play Store, which allows users to choose an alternative payment system for in-app purchases, to India, Australia, Indonesia, Japan, and the European Economic Area (EEA). The company is calling on all non-game developers around the world to apply for the program, as long as they qualify they can use third-party payment systems in the aforementioned regions.
The search giant brought out a similar guideline for non-game creators and users in the EEA area in July, and this expansion is an extension of that policy. The firm provides a 3% charge savings for developers utilizing third-party billing in the EEA zone. In the new announcement, the company said it “will continue to charge a reasonable service fee,” but did not mention any figures. The business stated it will provide additional specifics in the following weeks and months.
This information is vital for many developers since the proportion Google lowers will influence whether they’re ready to go through the effort of switching payment processors. The business argues that more than 99% of developers on the Play Store qualify for 15% or less — yet the top 1% of developers make quite a deal of income on the Play Store.
Google collects 15% of any developer’s first $1 million yearly. Then a 30% fee is levied after the developer’s first million dollars in the income of the year. Some developers who qualify for the Google Play Media Experience Program, which includes apps that offer books, audio, and video, pay as little as 10%.

According to rumors in the Egyptian Press, Ramzi Saleh might be on the verge of a move to Arab Contractors (Al-Mokawloon Al-Arab) that would guarantee him playing time. The proposed deal would send defender Basim Ali to El-Ahly in exchange for already on-loan Ateya Al-Belqasi and Ramzi Saleh. Ramzi Saleh lost his starting job after being injured in preseason. The role was handed to youth team player Ahmed Abdel-Mounem and Saleh was not given an opportunity to win the job back, despite some impressive play that had earned him a Player of the Month Award and helped El-Ahly retain the Premier League crown.
Saleh’s situation worsened when the club brought in Sherif Ekramy during the transfer window Saleh was even seen playing and scoring as a forward during one training session. Ramzi Saleh has said that he is currently studying offers from Egypt and other Arab Leagues.
Ahmed Keshkesh who has five league goals to his name with Wehdat might be looking for a new club as well. Negotiations to renew his one-year contract have not started and the player has complained that his goal tally has suffered as a result of playing most the season out on the wing. No clubs have contacted Keshkesh to enquire about his services.
The Women’s National team has achieved a ranked status for the first time thanks to their improved displays at the WAFF tournament. They are now ranked 87th in the World and 17th in Asia.
Over in Europe… Imad Zatara played 20 minutes as a substitute in Nîmes disastrous 4-1 loss to Châteauroux. They now lie 6th in the league 5 points behind FC Metz for the final promotion place. Omar Jarun’s hunt for first division football was boosted as he started and played all 90 minutes of Pogon Szczecin’s 0-0 draw against Flota Swinoujscie. Pogon still hold the final promotion place over Lodz due to goal difference.


SEVERAL hundred people marched through Hastings last Friday (22 November) to show their disgust of family violence.
The fifth Taking a Stand Against Family Violence march organised by Westernport Respectful Relationships Group was formerly known as the White Ribbon March.
The annual march raises community awareness about family violence and “helps the community to unite and take a stand together”, Cr Kate Roper said.
Speakers at the march included Cr Roper, Hastings Senior Sergeant Andrew Horscroft, family violence survivor Melissa, who shared her own story, and shire staff member Mandy Roche, who gave an overview of the shire’s Gender Equality Strategy.
“Violence against women and their children is a serious and widespread problem in Australia, with enormous individual and community impacts and social costs,” Cr Roper said.
“I urge anyone who doubts that to at the statistics. A shocking one in four women aged over 15 has experienced physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner.
“Here on the Mornington Peninsula, police reported 1867 incidents of family violence in 2017-18.
“But analysis has shown that only 25 per cent of referrals to family violence services in the southern metro region come from police; we can infer that many, many more incidents of family violence occur than are recorded in police statistics.”
Cr Roper said the shire had been reviewing its policies and “looking at what it can do to improve the situation”.
“We have an obligation to do this under state legislation: preventing violence and injury is one of the priority areas in the Victorian public health and wellbeing plan.
“It was also a recommendation of the Family Violence Royal Commission that local governments report on the measures they propose to take to reduce family violence and respond to the needs of victims.
“We know that one of the key drivers of violence against women and their children is gender inequality – which is the process by which people are treated differently and disadvantageously, under similar circumstances, on the basis of their gender.
“We also know that there is much work that we can do to help change the attitudes and ways of thinking that enable family violence to take place. This can include challenging the condoning of violence against women; promoting women’s independence and decision-making; challenging gender stereotypes and roles, and strengthening positive, equal and respectful relationships.”
The Westernport Respectful Relationships Committee includes Good Shepherd, DHHS, Victoria Police, Family Life, Hastings Community House, Westernport Chamber of Commerce and shire staff.
The Westernport Respectful Relationships Committee is auspiced by Wallaroo Community House.
After the march guests were invited to take part in the creation of rock art with the Balee Aboriginal Group.

SUGAR Cosmetics, a rising cult-favorite among young voters, is among the biggest-selling premium cosmetic brands in India today. With its flair for colorful, eye-popping packaging, it’s clutter-free personality and sleek; high-quality products, SUGAR has become the makeup of choice for young, adventurous women. They refuse to be pigeonholed into archetypal female roles. Created by internationally renowned lash cream creator Nene Kerber, SUGAR was initially a response to the beauty obsession gripping women across the globe. As Kerber’s creations grew in popularity, other women-and even men! got on board.
Like other premium brands such as Revlon and Estee Lauder, SUGAR Cosmetics pride itself on creating beautiful, innovative beauty products with a minimal effect on the skin. The brand encourages consumers to wear makeup with unconventional outfits. To get an edgy, fun look that isn’t dictated by traditional beauty rituals. Traditional beauty spas have long dominated the Indian beauty market. Upscale retailers such as TOBJ Cosmetics are making their presence felt in the country’s beauty markets. While the idea behind these upscale retailers is to provide exclusive beauty treatment and skincare products to customers. Of course, at prices that are unheard of in India. They have also begun to tap the lucrative beauty trends of urban youth.
Highly effective cosmetics brands like SUGAR
Urbanites are known for their eclectic tastes when it comes to fashion and beauty. Traditional beauty rituals such as Ayurvedic cleansing and treatment are still quite popular. Contemporary consumers have also ditched them in favor of more “in your face” cosmetics. As the saying goes, “the trend is your friend,” and today, trends can be your friend when it comes to affordable and highly effective cosmetics brands like SUGAR. In fact, even traditional beauty outlets are starting to offer affordable cosmetics brands in order to take advantage of younger consumers’s increasing demands for high-end beauty products. Urbanite women are looking for ways to make beauty products more accessible to them, which is precisely what urban retailers are doing when it comes to offering affordable beauty items such as SUGAR.
There is no denying the fact that SUGAR has carved a niche for itself in the ever-expanding beauty market all over the world. Although the brand started out as a luxury product for elite women in the United Kingdom, the brand has since expanded into other countries including Australia and Canada. SUGAR Cosmetics is also the official beauty brand of the British Film Institute, which is why they have opened a branch in London. Not only does SUGAR Cosmetics offer a wide range of beauty items such as lipsticks, eyeliners, blushes, and eye shadows, the brand also manufactures a line of lip gloss. And because Hollywood celebrities are so fond of the lipstick-hiding lip liner, you can never go wrong with a SUGAR Cosmetics lip gloss.
But just because the company has branches in two countries does not mean that you can’t get it’s products. You want to have an easy time shopping for your own SUGAR Cosmetics products at home? All you need is a reliable online beauty store. What is one of the most reliable online shops in the UK? It is Mimex cosmetics,they offer a wide variety of beauty items at affordable prices.
Mimex always stocks up with the latest beauty trends and is more than willing to ship internationally. Another great thing about Mimex is that they offer subscriptions for their products. Starting at just $10, that makes them the best value for your money. Because Mimex is a UK-based company, all of their products are regulated and safe for use. So you don’t have to worry about getting a bad product when using their subscriptions.
Even though Mimex offers affordable beauty products, it doesn’t mean that you should limit yourself to just that. SUGAR Cosmetics’ global brand was actually founded by two American women. They wanted to help people around the world, especially African-American women, realize their dreams of looking and feeling beautiful. Today, SUGAR cosmetics is known as an international leader in selling beauty products. Also, they are making sure that women from all over the world have access to high quality beauty care products. That’s why it is considered a one-stop shop for beauty products. And a great way for women all over the world to enjoy having beautiful skin.


Was browsing my 19" LCD Widescreen Acer AL1913w monitor and I came across a setting called OSD Timing, which is set at 20. My monitor is also 20ms. Are they related? I can move it all the way down to ten, and I think I notice a big difference but it might be in my head. What does OSD timing do?

The chassis is an extremely important element of the kart, as it must provide, via flex, the equivalent of a rear wheel differential. Without this, the inside rear wheel of a kart would cause very difficult problems during a turn.
Kart chassis are also listed as 'open' or 'caged'. Caged carts have a roll cage surrounding the driver, and open karts
have no roll cage.
Kart racing (as the word is so spelled by enthusiasts) or karting is a variant of open-wheeler motor sport with simple, small four-wheeled vehicles called karts, go-karts, or gearbox/shifter karts depending on the design.

The Denver Guys Who Gave Us Rock and Roll
I was treated to a great event this week – joining a reunion with a great bunch of guys – all rockers and performers from Denver’s rock and roll past. In attendance at a mid-morning breakfast were (left to right) – Joe Holonbek, PopBoptilUDrop (with cap), Frankie Rino, Ray Sekera, Larry Higgins and Pete Tracy.
Joe Holonbek graduated from Jefferson High School and played lead guitar with “The Saints” who recorded on Band Box Records in the very early 1960’s and is also an inductee into the Colorado Country Music Hall of Fame. Frankie Rino is a St. Joseph High School grad. Early on he fronted a Denver group – “Frankie Rino & The Checkmates” and later formed a backing band – “The Innovations” releasing an LP on the local Lederman record label. Ray Sekera (South High graduate) played bass guitar with Larry Higgins in “The Daleks” – a mid 1960’s mainstay act at Sam’s on Lookout Mountain. Ray and Larry also briefly performed at “The Syndicate”.
Larry Higgins graduated from Mullin High School. He was the drummer for local group “Freddie and The Hitch Hikers” another Band Box Records group. Their unique contribution to the local scene is their recording of “Sinners” which featured the first rock employment of the Theramin musical instrument. The Theramin provided that eerie background sound on “Sinners”. Apart from the presence of the the instrument – the single is highly prized and sought after by rock and roll enthusiasts world-wide. Larry also was the drummer for “The Gigolos” backing Don May, and Denver’s “Valiants”.
Here are just a few of the tid-bits of memories which I was able to document during our get-together:
HIGGINS: Larry Higgins recalled that while on the road and performing in an after hours club with another musician who played the Hammond. This was in Salt Lake City in the 1960’s – The club was “The Black and Tan”. Larry recalls that the duo didn’t have a name. Larry and partner announced they were going to next play “The House of The Rising Sun”. A patron approached them from the nightclub floor and asked politely if he might sing along. He had a British accent and Larry immediately recognized him as non other than Eric Burdon! What a great experience that must have been! The Animals were in town performing with Gerry and the Pacemakers and Chad & Jeremy. Larry joined Eric and his wife or companion for dinner aftwerwards. This led to a visit the next night to watch the Animals perform. Larry was introduced to Chad Stuart. Chad & Jeremy had just lost their American drummer on the tour to the draft and asked Larry if he would care to fill in. Larry was newly married and so he declined.
Larry Higgins should above with The Hitch Hikers – Third from Left
Later, Larry would join up with a group called The Valiants and embarked on a western U.S. tour which paralled The Checkmates with Sonny Charles (their big hit was “Black Pearl” a track which was produced by Phil Spector and reached number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100). The Checkmates shared the same agent as The Valiants so they would show up at similar venues.
When Freddie and The Hitch Hikers were working on their song “Sinners” they rehearsed it in Denver with Fred Taylor of “Fred and Fae” fame (local TV personalities). Larry recalled they were at Fred’s home for a week or two. Larry states “Fred and Fae were great people. Fred was a drummer and started “The Blue Knights” (a Denver drum and bugle corps).” Fred was also very active in the Denver scene as a produced and commercial jingle writer.

RINO: Frankie Rino’s group “The Checkmates” included Ray Sekera, Curt Fisher (drums) and Dave Adams (guitar). “The Innovations” who accompanied him on his 1969 LP were Les James (piano), Denny Dale (drums), and Tony Streno (bass and trumpet). While Frankie was performing in Las Vegas in the early 1970’s he was approached by a talent scout who asked him to appear on a special program where Hollywood personalities would introduce upcoming talent. Danny Thomas was scheduled to introduce Frankie with the Rendon Brothers.
Once at the set of the popular TV show – he was introduced to Thomas who told him “Relax – You will only be performing for about 23 million people!” After the trio finished their number the audience gave them a rousing ovation at which point Griffin requested a second number. Frankie quietly told Rino – “Mr. Griffin we only rehearsed one number for the show.” Which prompted Griffin to exclaim “Any true musician can do a number without rehearsing!” At which point they did!

Frankie occasionally performs for close friends but he still is making music. His latest CD was recorded at FTM Studios in Lakewood.
HOLONBEK: Joe is a very talented guitarist (as well as master of other instruments). He was a member of “The Saints” selected by group leader Dave Barhite. Joe recalled a story when he and some band mates were out of town at a restaurant – when a local acoustic trio performing there approached their table stating they were about to play “Desafinado” a complex jazz oriented number recorded by so many and made popular by Charlie Byrd and Stan Getz (#15 Hot 100 – 1962). Joe asked for one of their guitars. The musicians looked at him with more than a look of concern for their instrument. At this point Joe began to ripple through the song structure taking the trio completly by surprise – and then calmly handed them their guitar back.
Joe continues to perform and currently appears at Lupita’s Mexican Restaurant at 11809 East Colfax near the new Aurora hospital district.

SEKERA: Ray is also an inductee into the Colorado Country Music Hall of Fame as is Holonbek. They are two of ten Band Box artists in the Hall. Ray in later years was a member of Colorado group “The Motivation Machine”.
TRACY: Pete fronted the Denver group “The Pete Tracy Trio which included both Ray Sekera and Larry Higgins. Pete told a touching story at the breakfast. Seems he Frankie, Larry and Ray were all together at a watering hole. Frankie was thinking out loud about forming a new group and casually mentioned the possibility of inviting both Larry and Ray. Pete said he sat there not sure where he fit into the picture. Pete recalled, “I was thinking ‘oh boy’ what will I do now!” But before he could take the thought any further Frankie said “You know what, I’m not breaking up a group just to form another group. That just isn’t right!”. Pete said he has always carried that memory with him with gratitude.
Pete was also a member of “Dean Carr and the Corvettes” a group which also included the late Bill Dyker who was married to Denver recording vocalist Cee Cee Carol (Band Box, Finer Arts labels).
During the reunion breakfast the guys spoke of so many bars and nightclubs where they performed and visited back in the Day in the Denver area that I could barely keep up taking notes. Here is a partial list:
- Cloud Nine
- Caravan West
- The Hi Fi Club
- Cat’s Corner
- The Tropics
- The Golden Buffet
- The Chesterfield House
- The Coco Club
- The Funhouse
- The Peppermint Cave
- Sam’s on Lookout Mountain
- The Pitcher

Mutant-based reverse genetics offers a powerful way to create novel mutant alleles at a selected locus. This approach makes it possible to directly identify plants that carry a specific modified gene from the nucleotide sequence data. Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] has a highly redundant paleopolyploid genome (approx. 1.1 Gb), which was completely sequenced in 2010. Using reverse genetics to support functional genomics studies designed to predict gene function would accelerate post-genomics research in soybean. Furthermore, the novel mutant alleles created by this approach would be useful genetic resources for improving various traits in soybean. A reverse genetic screening platform in soybean has been developed that combines more than 40,000 mutant lines with a high-throughput method, Targeting Local Lesions IN Genome (TILLING). In this review, the mutant-based reverse genetic approach based on this platform is described, and the likely evolution of this approach in the near future.

Spring is finally here and it’s my favourite time of year. Easter is not far over the horizon too with its promise of family get-togethers and too-much-chocolate, as well as additional time to dedicate to video games over an extended weekend.
These aren’t the only reasons why it’s my favourite season however. There’s another, fluffier element which puts spring on top: all the newborn animals which will soon be hopping about. From downy chicks and paddling ducklings, to bouncing lambs and fluttering butterflies, there’s plenty to get all gooey-eyed over during the next few months. Here’s a round-up of some of the cutest animals in video games in honour this time of year and all things adorable.
The Dog from Fable
I might be a cat person myself but even I can appreciate just how gorgeous the Dog from the Fable series is. After saving him from a bully at the start of the second title, he’ll loyally remain by your side through all sorts of battles and you can show him he’s a ‘good boy’ by petting him. His appearance will change in line with your Hero’s alignment, turning him into happy, friendly companion who looks like a yellow Labrador if you’re very good. Forget a sword – this is one Dog who’s definitely a Hero’s best friend.
Chocobos from Final Fantasy
As mentioned in a recent post, I’ve played very little of the Final Fantasy series – but even I know what a Chocobo is. My favourite spring animal are fluffy chicks so this is an excellent entry for our list! They’re incredibly cute when young and grow up to be intelligent and friendly, helping characters on their journeys by allowing themselves to be ridden. They also demonstrate an ability to communicate with other sentient creatures and can be ferocious in combat; they’d be the perfect animal to take along on your daily commute to work.
Vladdy from Maize
So Vladdy might not technically be a ‘creature’ seeing as he’s a robot you make partway through Maize, but he’s still awesome because he’s always there to remind you how ridiculous everything is. He bears (pun intended) a striking resemblance to an animatronic toy from our childhoods but he isn’t as sickly-sweet; here’s a character who throws constant insults at you in his Russian accent while stomping around the room, squeaking as he goes. It turns out to be a beautiful love-hate relationship, and his grumpiness just makes him even more endearing.
The Minions from Overlord
This entry on our list is a lovable mix of naughty and nice: the Minions from Overlord get up to all sorts if mischief through the series but they’re weirdly cute while doing so. Sure, they’re a bit scaly with murderous intentions; like guzzling down beer before weeing everywhere; and want to eat the ‘sheepies’ and club the baby deals to death. But their zest for life and questionable fashion-sense make them strangely adorable despite all that, and their funny little sayings are bound to put a smile on anyone’s face.
Slimes from Slime Rancher
Slimes are gelatinous bell-shaped aliens that live in the Far, Far Range and their permanently happy expressions and high-pitched voices make them one seriously adorable creature. They’re soft, squishy and very happy to be around people; plus their plorts (diamond-shaped items they produce after being fed) are used to manufacture everything from food products to household cleaners, therefore making them incredibly useful too. Don’t tell me you can look at that image and then not want to give them a cuddle.
Trico from The Last Guardian
At the start of The Last Guardian, Trico can be a little intimidating: he’s absolutely huge, terribly distressed and not entirely pleased about your attention. Over the course of the game however he turns into a loyal companion who doesn’t leave your side. That makes him all the more cute; Trico might be far bigger than a lot of the other creatures on this list and doesn’t always do as he’s told, but it’s hard to resist those gorgeous eyes and playful nature as he plays like a kitten with objects in the environment.
The cat from The Preposterous Awesomeness of Everything
The Preposterous Awesomeness of Everything not only has one of the longest names in gaming, it also has one of the quirkiest styles. Its cut-and-paste design and offbeat humour make it a delight to play if you have a few hours to spare. And even if you don’t, it’s still worth installing and loading up because there’s a nice little surprise waiting on the menu screen: click on the ‘cat pops up’ option and that’s exactly what happens. What’s even better is that that fluffy little kitten greets you for no reason other than to make you laugh.
Pretty much any creature from Botanicula
Botanicula is a funny little adventure game about five friends: tiny creatures who set out on an amazing journey to save the last seed from their home tree from horrible evil parasites. Amanita Design have such a way with characters and almost every single one in this title is has its own style of cuteness. Click on them and they’ll react in a variety of ways, from a humorous animation to a quirky human-made sound; and they manage to tell an entire story without saying a single word. Just go and play it.
Now don’t tell me you didn’t say ‘Aw!’ at least once while reading through that list. If you know of any adorable creatures which should be added, please do let everyone know in the comments below!

We can reveal two more short-listed nominees for the 2014 IPA Freedom to Publish Prize: Irina Balakhonova from Russia and Myay Hmone Lwin from Myanmar.
Irina Balakhonova runs the Samokat publishing house, which since 2003 has published books for children and young adults, raising Russian readers' awareness of issues often considered sensitive or taboo. In 2013, amidst a climate of homophobia and the passing of a state law banning the promotion of homosexuality, she published "The Jester Cap" by Daria Wilke, a young-adult novel about a gay character's struggle to find acceptance.
Myay Hmone Lwin founded the Ngar Doe Sar Pay publishing house in 2003, when he was only 17 years old. Operating in a climate of military rule and strict censorship, he has fought hard to publish works of literary and cultural significance, leading to the publishing house being temporarily banned in 2012.
The Bureau international de l'édition française (BIEF) has published new research into how digital rights are being acquired, and how translation rights for digital editions are being licensed, around the world. By questioning publishers and rights directors in Europe, North America, Asia and Latin America, they reveal how contracts are being drafted, how authors are being remunerated, and how pricing policy is evolving.
Among the findings, it's notable that whereas the acquisition of digital rights for an augmented version of the work (enhanced or multimedia) was limited in 2011, it had become mainstream by 2013: 58% of publishing houses now obtain the rights holder's agreement to produce enhanced content and 51% obtain the rights to produce multimedia content.
Six publishers have been short-listed for the 2014 IPA Freedom to Publish Prize, which will be awarded during the London Book Fair on April 8th. The Prize honours a person or an organisation that has made a notable contribution to the defence and promotion of freedom to publish. Reflecting on the large number of nominations that were submitted, IPA Vice-President Richard Charkin commented that it was "good news for the award, bad news for the world".
Today we reveal the first two short-listed nominees: Nguyen Vu Binh of Vietnam and Ilbay Kahraman of Turkey. Both have been harassed and prosecuted for their publications and both have demonstrated great courage in leading the fight for freedom of expression within their countries.
Publishing houses, authors, literary agents, copyright experts, book fairs and publishing associations are gearing up for the 10th Latin American Publishing Congress, which takes place on March 28-30 in San Salvador. The biennial event will be hosted by the Central American Group of Book Chambers and Book Associations (GRUCAL).
The IPA will be participating at the Congress and strongly supports publisher attendance. Early-bird discounts apply until March 11th, and more details are available here.
The French publishing industry has rallied to the defence of children's literature after a leading politician publically attacked a children’s book.
Speaking on the “Grand Jury” radio programme, Jean-François Copé, President of France’s opposition UMP party, produced a copy of Tous à poil! (Everybody naked!), by the author Claire Franek. "When I saw this, my heart missed a beat. It’s on the recommended reading list for primary school children. There’s a naked teacher, naked baby, naked babysitter, naked neighbors, naked granny, a naked dog… The role of UMP leadership is to say ‘enough is enough’”.
Mr Copé’s outburst has been condemned by publishers, authors, librarians and book stores, as well as by teachers, parents and rival politicians. Speaking on behalf of the Syndicat National de l’Edition (French Publishers Association), Flammarion’s Hélène Wadowski said that “books should not be used for political manoeuvring”.
“Publishers take their responsibilities seriously when choosing texts which invite readers to discover the pleasure of stories and which help them understand the world around them. Through books, children build judgment and learn to reason. Let’s trust them!”
Tous à poil is now riding high in the French bestsellers list as a result of Mr Copé’s outburst and the ensuing public debate.
Everyone concerned with education wants to improve results, but what combination of policy, pedagogy, content and technology works best? The IPA, along with The Publishers Association and the London Book Fair will hold the second "What Works" meeting on Thursday 10th April at the Earls Court Conference Centre, as part of The London Book Fair. The conference brings together policy makers, international agencies, academics, teachers, publishers and technology advocates for a day of debate and analysis, designed to identify ‘what works’.
Speakers include WIPO Director-General Francis Gurry, IPA President Youngsuk 'YS' Chi and experts from The World Bank, Oxford University Press, European Commission,
Microsoft, OECD and many more. Full details are available here: please note that discounted registrations are available until February 28th, so book your place sooner rather than later!

Is this more than just dry skin and worth a visit to my GP? It's not painful or itching at all, just looks like I've been blowing my nose excessively with 1ply! I don't usually suffer from eczema but my skin is normally quite dry. I've looked up skin conditions during pregnancy and eczema is the only similar thing that comes up but mostly says if you've suffered from it before and it sounds like it would be painful and itchy.

Coco di Mama, the Azzurri Group-owned, quick-service Italian concept, has secured a further three sites in the capital, MCA understands.
The 12-strong group, which is led by Daniel Land and Jeremy Sanders, has secured the former Pita Pit site in Crown Passage for an opening at the start of October. It will follow this with an opening on the former Chequers Beauty site in New Street Square.
The company, which is on track to post full-year turnover of c£12m, is also believed to be close to completing on a unit near Bank Station.
The group is looking to open a further seven-plus sites next year and is looking to break into the transport hub segment.
Land told MCA that life-for-like sales for the year to date against the previous year had been up by around the high-single digit/low double-digit level.
The company recently re-opened it debut site in Fleet Street, complete with a new look that Land describes as “Coco di Mama 2.0”.
He said: “The feedback on the new look and feel of Fleet Street has been really encouraging. We feel it reflects the growing confidence the business and the brand has. We have opened four sites over the summer and will hopefully open a further three before the year end. At present our focus remains on growing in London, but we continue to get offers to open outside the capital.”
The concept was acquired by the Azzurri Group last year in a deal believed to be valued at c£12m.
Steve Holmes, chief executive of the Azzurri Group, told MCA that the group’s acquisition of Coco Di Mama could help it grow to 40 sites in the next couple of few years.

Travel Is Not A White Boy’s Club (And Never Has Been) Dispatch: Moving Black
Recently I’ve had the opportunity through my injury to experience a sliver of life through a different set of eyes, one where not everything is taken for granted. I had to work a different set of muscles, both literally and figuratively.
Well, my blogging acquaintance Bani Amor (@bani_amor – Everywhere All The Time) has brought another perspective on travel in this post I am re blogging below. I’ve quoted many posts before, but rarely if ever re blogged.
This interview was so good, I wanted to give you the full experIence.
For me this is something I have wondered about, in the recesses of my mind, but had no way to get outside my own understanding to compare. .. until now.
Thank you, Bani Amor for this wonderful interview, put together under very challenging circumstances.
Hey people! Here’s my really belated interview with Abena Clarke of the blog Moving Black. Because of our traveling ways, our exchange took place over e-mail, over two weeks, in different time zones, in Accra, California, Ecuador, New York, Kenya and maybe London. It also took a while because I was reveling in VONA lyfe in California, and then my laptop broke! All complications aside, we managed to have a really straight up discussion on travel writing’s ‘bloody’ relationship with people of color, and how we might be able to approach a future together. Read on and get schooled!
MsMovingBlack (aka Abena Clarke) is a Caribbean-based London-born teacher, writer, historian and armchair activist. She currently lives in Martinique but of all the countries and continents she’s visited, she’s most at home in the centre of a dance floor.

We have been noticing that whenever we flash our Firmware Binary (~70kb) to a P1 device, P1 always flashes RED SOS #13, and then reboots and applies the new Firmware.
Additionally, also what we noticed is that when,if we flash Tinker first, before flashing our actual firmware, unit does not blink SOS, either time.
Please note that our free memory before flash is approx 20-40 KB and FW size is ~70Kb. Is that an issue?
If not, can someone please explain why this behaviour occurs? ( we are using 1.4.4, and have noticed this problem in 0.6.3 as well).

Forward for the Blackhawks, Patrick Kane, suffered an injury so severe while playing against the Panthers that he is expected to be out between six and ten weeks. In Tuesday’s 3-2 shootout with the Florida team, Kane experienced an injury to the upper body.
The injury occurred during the first period, forcing Kane to stay out for the remainder of the game. According to reports, doctors are checking to see if the injury is related to his clavicle. Doctors will also make the final determination if he will miss the start of the playoffs, scheduled to start in seven weeks.
As stated by witnesses, 26-year-old Kane was hit with a cross-check by Alex Petrovic who is a defender for the Panthers. For that action, Petrovic was given a two-minute penalty. Immediately following the incident, Kane went to the team’s locker room to be checked by trainers.
Although the true severity of the injury remains unclear, it could be devastating to the Blackhawks if Kane remains out for an extended period of time. Going into yesterday’s game, the All-Star winger held an NHL high of 64 points, having 37 assists and 27 goals. At that pace, he would be well on his way to a career high of 88 points that could potentially put him in line for the Hart Trophy.
Kane told a reporter with the Chicago Tribune that times have changed, saying that where he is now is completely different than where he used be. Kane stated that while he loved the game and always strives to do his absolute best, things are at an entirely different level now.
Currently in the Western Conference, the Blackhawks are fourth with 77 points. For the team’s offense, Kane is a major factor so losing him because of this injury would make it difference to maintain in an extremely competition environment. There are few NHL teams with the depth that the Blackhawks offer and of all players anyone wants to see out for any length of time, it would be Kane.
If the Blackhawks want to continue winning and being a powerful presence on the ice, wingers Patrick Sharp and Marian Hossa will have to step up their game while Kane is out. Whether or not they can achieve the level of play needed no one knows yet.


Police investigating home invasion robbery

Why can’t you just be happy for me?
Why can’t you just smile and let me live my life?
Why do you have to always try and fix what you deem broken,
Just perhaps its not broken at all.
I get that your intent is not to slice me to the bone.
I get that you have no concept of the shame, the fear, the lack of worthiness that you trigger each time you aim to fix what you think needs fixing.
But honey beware.
Your words are powerful.
although you do not control me.
Ultimately it is my choice to fall prey to your desire for my brokenness,
be warned that these words you cast upon me and others,
be warned that these judgements,
these criticism’s have power.
And even the strongest in nature,
those of us who rebel from the control,
yes even us can be penetrated after time,
with these words of fear.
As time passes and you search for more weakness in me,
as you look for how you can save me,
your words become like Chinese water torture,
like nails on a chalk board.
They make me cringe,
they set me on defense.
They steal away my ability to feel you.
And now I stand here guarded.
Ready to take my punishment.
Now before I even start to share,
before I take any step forward or to the side,
I already hear your words of criticism,
and I know…
I know that no matter what I do,
no matter how turned on I am to my life,
no matter how much in flow and a state of passion I might be,
no matter the creative genius that wants to stem from my core.
I know that in your eye’s I am broken.
I know that in your mind I need to learn.
I know that you see me as this child,
this silly naive thing that needs your saving,
needs your fixing.
And so why bother?
Why even try and speak my truth?
Why try and do anything,
because I already know.
And so I settle into the average and ordinary.
I settle into the surface level relating.
Depth and being seen is too painful.
I feel stupid.
I feel dumb.
I feel ugly.
I feel unlovable.
I feel like no matter what,
it does not matter,
because I am wrong.
Or I will get it wrong.
Or it will be messed up by my touch,
by my words,
it’s just me.
And I should just not be.
Your criticism enables my scarcity mindset!
You enable me to not step up and be all that I can be.
You enable me to fear my power.
You enable me to fear my creative soul.
You enable me to keep hating myself.
You enable me to see all my lack of worth.
You enable me….
AND FOR WHAT?
Do you really believe that your words of judgement will entice me into becoming more?
Do your really believe that you know my calling,
my heart better than I or God?
Do you think that your need to fix me is inspiring?
Because it is not!
And lucky for me…
I will never listen.
And when I feel these chisels from you to cut me down,
to make me fear,
to make me become logical.
Yes lucky for me,
I am a F-CK YOU!
and I will move away.
I will step back.
I will turn around.
I will not listen.
Instead I will laugh.
you are the lost one.
You are the broken one.
You are the one that needs me.
that you will not ever have.
Because the tribe I run too,
is a tribe that is wild.
A tribe that is free.
A tribe that is supportive through love.
Supportive through the building up.
Through the appreciation.
Yes that is my tribe.
And so I encourage you to stop this ridiculous need of cutting down, and finding fault, of looking for what is broken or wrong.
I encourage you to instead step into your power.
I encourage you to look for what makes you happy with me.
What makes you happy with life.
What makes you happy with you.
Because all this criticism although seeming pointed at me,
it is not I that you actually have issue with,
it is not I that frustrates you so,
it is not I who needs your saving…
But it is YOU.
So look in that mirror my dear.
Look closely in your eye,
and tell yourself something positive.
Then continue to speak those words.
Because what you focus on grows.
I love you.
You are worthy.
And As Always,
Stop Existing & Start Living

The Board of Directors of the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association voted Friday to rescind a controversial proposal to increase residential and commercial insurance rates approved last year.
The agency announced the unanimous vote in a five-paragraph statement on the its website on Friday.
“Texas Windstorm Insurance Association policyholders will not be impacted by a premium rate increase in 2019,” the statement said.
The board of directors in August 2018 voted to increase windstorm insurance rates by 10 percent. If the increase had been approved, it would have been the eighth increase in wind insurance premium rates in 10 years, and the steepest rate increase since 2009, just after Hurricane Ike in 2008.
The board voted for the rate hike amid assertions that the association’s funding had been depleted by claims filed after Hurricane Harvey in 2017. The windstorm association received more than 75,000 Harvey-related claims, for which it paid a little more than $1 billion, according to the association.
The association is the windstorm insurer of last resort for property owners on the Texas Gulf Coast. The legislature created the association in 1971 to provide insurance to property owners who private companies refused to cover. The association manages more than 200,000 insurance policies in 14 coastal counties.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott blocked the increase in October, saying the association should at least wait until after the legislative session to give lawmakers time to consider windstorm insurance reform bills.
The session officially ends on Monday.
It was unclear whether any one piece of legislation caused the board to reverse its decision on the rates. The association did not respond to a request for comment on Friday afternoon, and video of the board’s meeting, which took place in Austin, had not yet been posted on the association’s website.
The Texas Senate approved a bill May 21 revising some of the association’s operations. Among other things, the bill creates a process for people to automatically renew their windstorm policies and changes the way the association determines replacement costs for damaged properties.
Critics of the bill said it did not go far enough in addressing central policy issues about the association’s structure, according to an analysis by the Texas House Research Organization.
A different bill, which was approved by the Texas House of Representatives, but did not make it through the Senate, would have extended Abbott’s moratorium on rate increases until 2021.
The rate freeze bill passed the House by a vote of 132-10. Its author, state Rep. Todd Hunter, told the Corpus Christi Business News that vote sent a clear signal to the association’s board.
The board’s decision was lauded by critics of the rate increases who argued they would harm coastal residents and governments.
Henry Freudenburg, chairman of the Coastal Windstorm Insurance Coalition, a consumer advocacy group, said there was still work to do to reform the association.
He said he expected the legislature to call for a study to find ways to reform the association and come up with recommendations to change it ahead of the 2021 legislative session.
“You can’t do that during the session, it’s just too much,” he said. “We’re very, very confident that TWIA, from this day forward, will become a profitable entity.”
The association’s board is scheduled to meet next in Galveston in August.
