Transcendent Iconography II
Paintings by Nicole Dixon
January 29 - March 30, 2016
Demetri Broxton Studio proudly presents Transcendent Iconography II: New Paintings by Nicole Dixon. Oakland based artist, Nicole Dixon created 11 brand new, mixed media works on canvas for the exhibition at Addison Street Windows Gallery. In Nicole's work, the Black figure takes center stage. Each character is beautiful and strikingly (literally) charcoal black. The characters are deeply enmeshed in the spiritual world, transcending stereotypes and creating new narratives for Black life.
Nicole Dixon was born and raised in Oakland, CA. She is the head teacher at Nia House Learning Center, a Montessori school in Berkeley, CA.

Art by Rachelle Reichert
January 29 - April 22, 2016
Demetri Broxton Studio presents Night Walks: Artwork by Rachelle Reichert. Reichert is interested in carbon and sat as both the subject and medium of her work. Carbon is the matter from which all life comes from. In her work she layers, folds, rubs, and presses graphite (a crystalline form of carbon) and salt to create sculptures, photographs, and drawings. To make the pieces, Rachelle creates a paste out of ground graphite and water (the other essential element for life). Depending on how much water she incorporates, the paste cracks, peels, or goes on smooth and shiny. She layers photographs and other objects within the pieces.
Rachelle Reichert is a San Francisco based artist. She received her MFA from Mills College in Oakland, CA and BFA from Boston University. She has exhibitied nationally and internationally. Her work has been reviewed and published in the SF Chronicle, the Sacramento Bee, The Point Magazine, and New American Paintings. She has received several public and private commissions including Red Bull, Inc. and the Boston University Medical School.

Weavings by George-Ann Bowers
June 27 - August 12, 2015
Opening: June 27, 1:00 - 3:00 pm
The Addison Street Windows Gallery proudly presents Natural Tendencies: Weavings by George-Ann Bowers. The work of George-Ann Bowers celebrates the intricacies of the natural world. George-Ann often uses clothing shapes as a framework for nature imagery, illustrating a connection and juxtaposition between the natural world. To make her pieces, she employs a traditional double-weave pickup as her basic method, and incorporates additional techniques to increase dimension.
George-Ann Bowers has created woven artwork for exhibition and commission for more than 30 years. Largely self-taught, she received formal training at the California College of Arts in Oakland, and Fiberworks Center for the Textile Arts and Pacific Basin School of Textile Arts in Berkeley, CA. Bowers exhibits her nature-based weavings in venues throughout the United States, as well as internationally.

Paintings by Elizabeth Ennis
June 12 - August 28, 2015
The 1947 Center Street Lobby Gallery presents IN TRANSIT: Paintings by Elizabeth Ennis. Ennis is fascinated with transportation and how people get from one place to another. Her masterfully executed oil paintings capture the isolation of people who are momentarily neither here nor there, but moving through space. Surrounded by mass transit's impersonal structures, people inhabit their own solitary inner worlds.
Elizabeth Ennis is a Berkeley, CA based artist. She was born in New York City and received her B.A. from City College of New York (CUNY) in 1971. In 1978, she received an M.A. in Creative Arts Therapy from Lone Mountain College, San Francisco.

Through the seas, my roots
A site specific installation by Dimitra Skandali
March 21 - May 6, 2015
Opening: March 27, 5:30 - 7:30 pm
The Addison Street Windows Gallery proudly presents Through the seas, my roots, a site specific installation by artist, Dimitra Skandal. Skandali’s experience of growing up on Paros, an island in the Aegean Sea in Greece, and her ties to it, its history and people are central to her work. Dimitra literally carries her island with her. The installation is made up of sea grape vines, seaweed, sea grass, and roots that she brought in a suitcase from Paros, Greece. Other roots were brought from Key West, Florida. Themes of the past are reflected in her choice of materials and the ethereal, ephemeral forms she creates serve as reminders of the sea, its openness and possibilities, but also its limitations – reflections of a displacement, fragility, and instability.

by Sonja Hinrichsen
April 3 - June 12, 2015
The 1947 Center Street Lobby Gallery presents Snow Drawings, an ongoing project in which Sonja Hinrichsen “draws” large design systems in the environment by walking lines into fresh snow surfaces with snowshoes. The finished pieces are ephemeral. While they take hours to create, their duration is entirely unpredictable. Sometimes they are coated over by new snow shortly after completion. The project began during an artist residency in the Colorado Rocky Mountains in winter 2009. Her designs have since become much more elaborate and refined, and she has continued the project in other landscapes across the United States and abroad. Hinrichsen’s work has evolved into large social practice art events. Working with community has enabled her to create monumental pieces while at the same time engaging people in fun outdoor winter activity in stunning landscapes. In 2014 she was invited to work in the French Alps, sponsored by the Serre Chevalier Municipality Skiing Organization. All works on display at 1947 Center Street Lobby Gallery were created in France. The aerial photographs are the only remainders of the monumental size drawings created with community participation.
Sonja Hinrichsen graduated from the Academy of Art in Stuttgart, Germany and received her Masters degree in New Genres from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2001. Sonja’s ongoing community arts project Snow Drawings has received significant attention and has been featured on numerous art, design and culture websites, and written about in magazines, including SOMA Magazine, TRACCE (Italian Archeology Magazine), and a Chinese Art Magazine. Snow Drawings was also featured on NPR, MSNBC, The Discovery Channel (US and Canada), and public TV Tokyo. Photographic prints and video have been shown in exhibitions in California, Colorado and in Europe.

Abstract Constructions of Love: Paintings by Francesca Saveri
January 9 through April 3, 2015
The 1947 Center Street Lobby Gallery proudly presents Abstract Constructions of Love: Paintings by Francesca Saveri. Saveri's vivid paintings are made using the encaustic process, in which beeswax is melted and mixed with damar resin and pure pigment. The resulting mixture is then painted directly onto canvas before it cools. The paintings end up sculptural and must be experienced in person to fully appreciate their beauty.
Francesca Saveri is a California artist committed to creating beauty through full expression. She credits Nature to be her essential teacher and the natural environment her best learning environment in which she has constant interaction. Her work is deeply influenced by her lifelong practices of music, writing and movement. A former teacher, she treasures the process of growth and learning through exploration, risk taking, and collaboration.

Between Cell and Sea: Art by Kimberley D'Adamo Green
January 24 - March 14, 2015
The Addison Street Windows Gallery proudly presents Between Cell and Sea: Art by Kimberley D’Adamo Green, an art exhibition organized by curator, Demetri Broxton. Investigating the ecosystems of the Bay Area's estuaries, D’Adamo Green’s work explores enmeshed micro and macro landscapes. From the microscope to the naked eye to aerial and satellite photography, why do we see replication of similar patterns across so many different organic forms no matter what our perspective? What can these recurring similarities tell us about creation? This repetition of pattern and shape in nature suggests that the idea of scale is but a human construction. The Addison Street Windows Gallery is a project of the City of Berkeley, funded by the Berkeley Public Art Fund.
Kimberley D’Adamo Green has been an educator for more than 15 years. She is currently an art teacher at Berkeley High School. D’Adamo Green attended art school at Mason Gross School of the Arts, at Rutgers University - graduating cum laude with a B.A. in art and philosophy, later earning her teaching credentials in art and new media at SFSU.

EVOLVING: Art by Andreina Davila
May 16 through August 8, 2014
Click on image above to see full gallery
The Addison Street Windows Gallery presents Evolving: Art by Andreina Davila. Evolving brings together three bodies of work created in the past two years by Andreina Davila. Davila’s series, I Am, is a grouping of figurative paintings whose goal is to examine issues of identity. The Somos Series features circular paintings which all begin with silkscreened images on paper. Davila then paints on top of these circular bases. Text excerpts from Jostein Gaarder’s novel, Sophie’s World about the history of philosophy, are embedded in each piece. The third body of work comes from the BotanINK series, a group of botanical studies made in ink and paint.
Andreina Davila grew up at her family farm in Mérida, Venezuela. She earned her Bachelor’s in Architecture at Universidad de los Andes, in 2000 and her Master of Science in Design at Arizona State University, in 2004. Her professional life has blended art, design, architecture, art direction, and social entrepreneurship, allowing her to explore her creativity in an interdisciplinary manner. Andreina’s studio is located at The Compound, an Oakland-based artist-run gallery and workspace. Since 2010 she has been an active member of the City Art Cooperative Gallery in San Francisco, where her work has been very well received.
For more information on Andreina Davila, visit her website.
The Addison Street Windows Gallery proudly presents Crossing the Hyphen: Art by Pallavi Sharma, an exhibition organized by curator, Demetri Broxton. Crossing the Hyphen reinvents recent installations and video art created by Pallavi Sharma. Sharma’s work is a subtle conversation in identity politics in America. Herself an Indian-American, Sharma explores how the hyphen serves a dual role: allowing the new immigrant to acknowledge their national origins while also allowing for a reinvented identity within a new country. Her work explores the blurring of national identities which occurs through the process of naturalization and movement. In her piece Carry-On, a suitcase lies open filled with grass and grass seeds. The work represents both the immigrant and the cultural heritage an immigrant brings with them—seeds to be planted in a new land. The piece poses the question of whether these seeds will always be exotic and separate, or over time will they become integrated into the larger cultural landscape?
Pallavi Sharma was born and raised in India and immigrated to United States in 1997. She received her BFA and MFA from the Faculty of Fine Arts Baroda, India and received her Ph.D. in Art History from India's National Museum Institute of History of Art and Conservation, New Delhi, India. Pallavi's work has been exhibited widely at venues including the Queens Museum of Art, Exit Art, Art Asia Pacific, and Bishop Museum. At present, she is a board member of Asian American Women Artist Association (AAWAA) and Director of ‘Inner Eye Art’ an Art Consulting Firm specializing in South Asian Art.
Teeming Rift: The Art of Jamie Treacy
February 22 - April 9, 2014
The Addison Street Windows Gallery presents Teeming Rift: the Art of Jamie Treacy. Teeming Rift assembles 12 large acrylic paintings completed by Jamie Treacy within the last year. Through his paintings, Treacy creates fictional landscapes, derived from his observations in nature. Treacy alters plants and organic shapes, mixing up proportions to create new, fantastical, and sometimes alien-like worlds. He is particularly interested in what happens when humans leave a built environment and plant life returns and flourishes.
Jamie Treacy is an Oakland-based artist and teacher. He was born in Topeka, Kansas and was raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan. He holds a BFA in painting and printmaking from the University of Michigan, School of Art of Design and an MFA in Painting and Drawing from the California College of Arts in San Francisco.

Past Forward: African Spirituality in Contemporary Black Art
African American Art & Culture Complex – Sargent Johnson Gallery
762 Fulton Street
San Francisco, CA
April 8 – August 19, 2010
Past Forward assembles the works of seven Bay Area artists whose works consciously reawaken and revisit spiritual forms originating in Africa and passed down through the generations. Each of the works resurrects a traditional African shamanistic aesthetic while remaining unquestionably contemporary and situated in African American artistic traditions.
The artists highlighted in Past Forward look to the sacred arts, symbols, and rituals of Central and West Africa to reclaim aspects of African knowledge systems which were forced underground through the experiences of the Middle Passage and slavery in the “New World”. Whether each of the artists has physically stepped foot on African soil or not, their art serves as a vehicle to psychically journey back through The Door of No Return. Thus in “returning” to Africa for inspiration, each artist is able to ground his or herself in an aesthetic tradition which originates in Africa rather than being steeped in Western art traditions.
Decoding Identity: I Do It for My People
Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD)
385 Mission Street
San Francisco, CA
January 23, 2009 – March 22, 2009
Co-Curated with Erica Garber (Agyeman)
Decoding Identity explores the complexities of individual and group identity. The thirty-four assembled works, by twenty artists, challenge cultural and ethnic prejudices, question issues of religion, sexuality, race, and gender, and address the ways individuals transform and are transformed by their environments. The works grapple with the most fundamental questions we all ask of ourselves and others throughout our lives: “who am I?”, “who are we?”, and “who are you?”
The exhibition is divided into three themes—Self-Perceptions, Otherness, and Intersections—that reflect the broad differences to be found in artists’ definitions of and engagement with issues of identity.
The following audio file is an interview conducted on February 13, 2009 on New America Media, featuring Demetri Broxton and artist, Adrienne Pao:
The following interview was conducted with Jack Hanson on Comcast Newsmakers and features Demetri Broxton and Erica Agyeman (Garber), co-curators of Decoding Identity.


It has been 43 years since Cesar Cerda, a member of Chile’s Communist party, was dragged off by agents of Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship. Cerda is just one of 1,000 former opponents of the far-right regime still listed as missing, despite the tireless efforts by family members to find them. Cerda was 47, and a father of three, when he was arrested on 19 May 1976 after months of regime persecution of Communist party leaders.
“Where is he? Where’s his body? We’ve spent our lives asking those questions,” said Juana Cerda, his 62-year-old daughter, who was standing at the main cemetery in Santiago in front of a memorial to the 3,200 people who died or disappeared during the dictatorship. Alongside her mother, she trawled hospitals, police stations, detention centres and military barracks without finding answers to her questions, just like other family members of the missing from Chile’s bloody 1973-1990 dictatorship, during which time 38,000 people were tortured.
Juana Cerda said: “This search has been very painful. My mother went on hunger strike. She chained herself to a fence outside the Congress building.
“It completely turned our lives upside down.”
All she knows about her father is that he was taken off to the notorious Villa Grimaldi and Simon Bolivar torture centres in the capital.
It’s a similar tale for the family of Eduardo Campos, from the Movement of the Revolutionary Left, who was arrested in 1973. “We’ve searched for years and we’ve got nothing,” said his sister Silvia, who has continued the search since her mother died in 1994.
Her case was made even more traumatic when the family was informed in 2006 by the forensic services that a body that had been identified as being her brother was, in fact, someone else. Having been exhumed, it had to be reburied, and Campos’s family went back to square one.
Of the 1,100 people officially registered as disappeared, only 104 have been found. The victims’ families have blamed successive governments for showing a lack of interest, and say that nothing has changed since Chile’s conservative president, Sebastian Piñera, assumed office 18 months ago.
“I think this government … not only isn’t interested, but is actively boycotting any advances in this regard,” said Lorena Pizarro, the president of a group of families of disappeared prisoners whose father, Waldo Pizarro, went missing in 1976.
Before handing over power to Piñera, the former Socialist president Michelle Bachelet – now the UN high commissioner for human rights and who was herself tortured during the dictatorship – launched a programme at the end of 2017 to find out what happened to the missing people, with the results expected in 2021.
Chile’s human rights undersecretary, Lorena Recabarren, said: “Work in this area has been continuous and expanded. We’ve expressed at every opportunity that we’re holding to our commitments in this domain.” She added that, by the end of 2018, 451 people had been prosecuted over the executions of 851 victims, and 266 people prosecuted over 618 disappearances.
Since the beginning of June, two lawyers have also been examining the cases of another 355 victims, but not as part of any prosecution procedure. In a recent report, the UN high commission’s committee on enforced disappearances expressed its concern over the small number of missing people found and advised Chile to “intensify its efforts to open up investigations or accelerate those already ongoing”.
“It’s difficult to find missing prisoners, given that the aim was exactly that: to make them disappear without leaving a trace,” said Elizabeth Lira, an expert from Alberto Hurtado University. Many bodies were blown up using dynamite and about 180 people were dropped into the sea from aircraft. Family associations accuse the army of withholding information as part of a “pact of silence”.
“It’s a wound that lacerates the national conscience,” said Pizarro, who wants her country to show the political will to “reject impunity”.
As well as the families’ efforts, about 10 magistrates are investigating the issue and a special unit of the legal medicine service is working on identifying the rare remains that have been found, despite the difficulty posed by the ravages of time and fragmentary nature of those bones.
“The technology is available, but the information and quality of information we’re working with is very variable,” said Marisol Intriago, the head of the special unit currently working on identifying 45 suspected victims.
The service has about 4,000 blood samples and 1,800 bone fragments from the families of the missing people to ensure that the search continues even as those descendants die.
The families are not willing to give up, Cerda said. “We’ll keep fighting until we die.”


So, here’s my take on the post-election environment in my hometown area.
As I attended my VA appointment (I’m retired U.S. Air Force, 30 years), I proudly wore my “I voted” tag on the front of my jacket. Everybody I ran into asked me: “So, who did you vote for?” I answered: “The winner, 2008 and 2012.” I got some ugly looks from my white peers, and some of them asked me, “Why?” The only explanation I could give them was to provide them a lesson in history by an analogy.
Imagine for a moment, I said, that we had the power to raise from the dead all white people from Georgia and South Carolina who died during the 1950s and tell them it was Election Day, and they should go to the polls and vote. We would not allow them to actually know who was on the ballot, because in the 1950s it didn’t matter because all Southerners voted straight Democrat. Remember the term “yellow-dog Democrat”? It’s a term that means Southerners would even vote for a yellow dog on any ballot if it was a Democrat.
Horror of horrors, the raised voters would have voted for President Obama. This mind-set was caused and perpetuated after the Civil War, when the Lincoln Republicans occupied the South. Therefore, these 1950s zombies would march to the voting poll and mindlessly vote for the Democrat.
Sadly, the same thing is happening in this day and age, except these narrow-minded zombies have become Republicans, and this transformation was caused by the Civil Right Act of 1965. President Lyndon Johnson whispered to a friend, after he signed the act, that by signing this act he had just given the South to the Republicans for the next generation. And so it was, and is.

A brand new dining option is coming soon to Abbotsford’s Highstreet Shopping Centre.
Go-Grill is set to open in the near future, and the restaurant promises to offer a healthy option for consumers.
The establishment allows diners to choose from a wide selection of fresh ingredients and the choices are then grilled by an employee.
A wide variety of vegetables including baby corn, green beans and zucchini, along with meats such as beef, chicken and shrimp, along with tofu are offered. A total of 31 options of vegetables and protein are available according to the Go-Grill website, along with a dozen sauces.
The total selection is then charged by weight. The concept is similar to the established Mongolie Grill franchise.
Go-Grill’s other location in B.C. can be found in Surrey’s Central City Shopping Centre. The franchise also has locations in Calgary and Saskatoon.

Long is the way, and very steep the slope,
Strengthen me once again, O God of Hope.
Far, very far, the summit doth appear;
But Thou art near my God, but Thou art near.
And Thou wilt give me with my daily food,
Powers of endurance, courage, fortitude.
The way is perfect; only let that way
Be clear before my feet from day to day.
Thou art my Portion, saith my soul to Thee,
O what a Portion is my God to me. (Amy Carmichael)
“How can we tell the story of Jesus in a simple way, when so many elemental forces came rushing together at that point in space and time? So much history, so many bad memories, such high expectations and aspirations, such a tangled web of faith and fear and hatred and hope.
And so many memorable characters crowding onto the stage, catching our eye and firing our imagination: Mary Magdalene, Peter, Pontius Pilate, Judas… the list goes on. And then we catch a glimpse – or was it just our imagination – of Jesus himself, towering over them but without ever appearing aloof. Who was he? What was he about? What was he trying to do? Why should we care, two thousand years later?
These were, of course, the questions his closest friends wanted to ask as they woke him up in the middle of an actual storm on the Sea of Galilee. It’s still a dangerous place today. There are signs in the parking lots on the western side of the sea warning that high waves can sweep giant waves right over parked vehicles. But Jesus wasn’t fazed. According to the story, He got up and told the storm to be quiet (Matthew 8: 23 – 27; Mark 4:35 – 41; Luke 8: 22 – 25). And it obeyed him.
I think his friends told that story not only because it was striking and dramatic in itself, but because they saw in it something of the larger story they were struggling to tell: the story of a man in the eye of the storm, the storm of history and culture, of politics and piety, a man who seemed to be asleep in the middle of it all, but who then stood up and told the wind and the waves to stop.” -“Simply Jesus” by N.T. Wright
As a teenager I became somewhat familiar with the Amplified Version of the Bible because Mom had it around and used it in her daily personal Bible study and prayer time each morning.
Nowadays, there are so many newer versions out that Christians don’t see or hear mention of the Amplified Version often.
During the ten years our young and growing family lived in Sucre, Bolivia, a large, old, beautiful and intensely historic town in the southern highlands , we belonged to a wonderful outreach to crosscultural workers that was called “Reader’s Service”. “Reader’s Service” would send us big mailbags full of used books for a nominal fee. These used books – some very well-used! – were donated to a large warehouse, by people in U.S. and Canada who no longer had a use for them yet still wanted to make them available to others, especially families serving overseas where access to public libraries and/or access to books in general in the person’s heart language might be limited or completely nonexistent. This was our situation during those ten years.
We LOVED Reader’s Service and, a couple times a year when the books arrived, it was like Family Christmas!
Early in our family’s Reader’s Service Sucre years, they sent us a battered, tiny, tatter-jacketed Amplified Version New Testament, which, following in my life mentor-mother’s footsteps, I used in my morning “quiet time” with God for at least a couple of years. After that we moved, and, a few years after that we had a major yard sale when our daughter graduated from high school in Bolivia. We lost the book.
Recently, on my beloved Kindle device, I downloaded an electronic version of the Amplified and this morning, traveling, was using the Amplified Version of the Psalms in my daily quiet time with God. This verse stood out for me and gave me strength and comfort: Psalms 9:10 “And they who know Your Name (who have experience and acquaintance with Your mercy) will lean on and confidently put their trust in You, for You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek (inquire of and for) You (on the authority of God’s Word and the right of their necessity). (Ps. 42:1).”
Psalm 111: 2 – 3: Great are the works of the Lord, they are pondered by all who delight in them. Glorious and majestic are God’s deeds, and his righteousness endures forever.
” Kings who reign on earth tend to make themselves inaccessible; ordinary people almost never gain an audience with them. Though (Jesus) is King of the universe, (He) is totally accessible to you.” – Jesus Calling by Sarah Young, p. 281
Isaiah 50:4 (This is one of my favorite Bible verses!)
“The Sovereign Lord has given me an instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary. He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being taught.”
“And they (the seraphim) were calling to one another, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty. The whole earth is full of His glory!”. Isaiah 6:3
….found this little poppy in early morning light, bravely sticking its head up amidst a cluster of crabgrass, weeds and trash, at the base of a light pole in the center of an old road, while i was walking and meditating of some passages of the Bible and praying.
“Nothing will enhance abundant life more than beginning our day expecting God and ending our day remembering God.” – Beth Moore, in her Bible study entitled “Believing God”.
Psalm 5:3 “In the morning, O Lord, You hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before You and wait in expectation.”
Psalm 3: 5-6 “I lie down and sleep. I wake again, because the Lord sustains me. I will not fear the tens of thousands drawn up against me on every side.” Psalm 63:6 “On my bed I remember You.”

I bought this for my son's surprise Christmas present (a 12-week-old kitten). I love the fact that, on both sides, are straps through which a seat belt (back seat) can be threaded through for travel. My intent was for them to have a place to put her when they both had to work (the rare occasion). She spent Christmas Eve with us. While I was sewing and to protect her from our nose-out-of-joint cats, I kept her in it. This is the only thing wrong -- it is not weighted, I am sure this is so it can be so flexible -- when she got restless, she began to roll, yes roll, all over the living room in the carrier. He may need to get her a more solid carrier for home, but I do like the car safety feature of this model. It is possible to have the zippered opening toward the door and take her out of the carrier and leaving it in the car if need be.
I LOVE IT!
I have been looking for a inexpensive but practical crate for months for my now 9 month old puppy Ziggy and couldn't find any. I was at walmart one day and decided to have a look at their crates and saw the one pictured only in blue and was very skeptical at first because puppy claws and fabric doesn't usually mix well. But I bought it anyway and brought it home it was setup in maybe 5 seconds. I slowly introduced him to his new "den" and started closing the zip up door which I love since it doesn't get stuck like the slide and lock doors. He does scratch at the door when I forget his toy outside the door but he hasn't been able to put in a rip in it. I love this and would recommend it to anyone who asks.
I LOVE IT!
I use the pop-open as his play pen when I am not home.
I LOVE IT!
Our cat just loves her bigger, soft carrier! It is well made and nice and roomy and I love the fact that it folds up very small. Easy to store and that is better than a clunky hard plastic carrier.
A nice "cave" for small, gentle dogs. Light weight, portable, easy to set up and fold up. Not for "rowdy" dogs.

text: Prevue asked Jaoa H. Rodrigues, Macau Government Tourism Office, Media & Marketing Manager, his thoughts on culture and creativity trends for 2011. Q: What are some creative ways planners can use Macau to create special events? A: Many of Macau’s historic sites can be used for special events. One of my favorite events in Macau took place on top of Mount Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area is surrounded by historic cannons since it used to be a vantage point to defend Macau from invaders. During the event, guests could watch the show sitting down or dance the night away. Q: What are some popular festivals that planners can tie in with group programs? A: There are many options when it comes to festivals in Macau. We celebrate both Chinese and Portuguese holidays, as well as some unique Macanese events. Plan a karaoke sing-along during the Macau International Music Festival. Create a team bonding experience and enter a group to compete in the Dragon Boat Festival. Or truly immerse yourself in the Macanese and Portuguese culture during the Lusophone Festival, where representatives from many Portuguese-speaking countries showcase their foods, music and culture in Macau.Q: What are some area cultural venues popular for groups? A: Groups looking for a cultural venue are in for a treat in Macau. Many of our museums are available for events, including the Wine Museum, which is connected to the Grand Prix, providing for a great combination, as well as the Taipa Houses Museum in Taipa Island. A new cultural venue in Macau is the I.M. Pei-designed Science Museum. This venue was recently recognized by the Guiness Book of Records as having the biggest 3D screen in the world. Groups may also want to check out Macau’s gardens, especially Camões Garden and Lou Lim Leoc Garden. Camões Garden represents a Portuguese-style garden, while Lou Lim Ieoc is a typical Chinese garden. Q: What are some signature musical venues popular for group events? A: Because of Macau’s rich musical history, we have many signature musical venues. Among some of the favorites during our International Musical Festival, which is celebrating 25 years this year, include: St. Dominic’s Church and Dom Pedro V Theater, two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, as well as modern settings like the Venetian Arena. Q: What are a few signature food items and/or restaurants relating to the culture of Macau? A: Food in Macau is a good reflection of the community’s long multicultural experience. Many consider Macau as the birthplace of fusion cuisine. The combination of Portuguese, Indian and even Malay and Chinese cuisines make up the unique Macanese cuisine, such as African and Goan’s chicken and piquant prawns, all baked or grilled with peppers and chilies. It is hard to find another city with such a concentration of restaurants offering so many different cuisines to suit so many tastes at all kinds of budget.

Sadie and the Hotheads were born in 2007 when Elizabeth McGovern took guitar lessons from Steve Nelson. Steve encouraged Elizabeth to begin to write her own songs. After a collection had been composed Steve introduced Elizabeth to Simon Nelson who started recording the songs and put together a band of musicians to support the project.
Lead singer Elizabeth began her career as an actress. She made her professional debut in Robert Redford’s Ordinary People, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture of the Year. The next year, Elizabeth herself was nominated for both a Golden Globe and an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in Milos Forman’s Ragtime, also starring James Cagney. Since then, she has divided her time between theatre, film and television. Her films include, Sergio Leone’s “Once Upon a Time in America,” Curtis Hanson’s “Bedroom Window,” and the John Hugh’s comedy: “She’s Having a Baby”. Recently, she received Golden Globe and Emmy nominations for her role as Cora, Countess of Grantham in the multi award winning “Downton Abbey”.
Elizabeth says, “Your ‘Sadie’ is that thing inside you which makes you unique. Everyone has it.” The songs which make up the band’s repertoire could have come from various periods from the last hundred years. Victorian Parlour Ballads, to fractured, minimalist riffs to tango rhythms. Their debut album is called “I Can Wait” (2007). There is a strong country music influence throughout. However, the audience are kept on their toes with a surprise fusion of Spanish guitar and melodic piano chords that give this album a truly original sound which has been described by critics as: “A wonderfully unique sounding album”, a “great pop record”, “intriguing and very catchy” “a mesmerising debut from a band which brings together two very different worlds”.
Sadie and the Hotheads will be playing at Wychwood on Sunday.

Retired Judge Serving in Mexico Judicial Exchange Program
By a MetNews Staff Writer
Retired Los Angeles Superior Court Jaime Corral has been selected to serve in a newly created position with the National Center for State Courts.
Corral, who has been sitting on assignment since his retirement two years ago, is currently serving as chief of party for the Mexico Judicial Exchange Program in Mexico City.
Last week Corral began directing a Rule of Law Project designed to improve the Mexican justice system with a focus on judicial education and court administration.
The project looks to increase public confidence and improve the international image of the Mexican judiciary.
“I am extremely excited and feel deeply honored to have been selected to serve in this very important capacity,” Corral, a Mexican native, said in a statement. “I now have an opportunity to help in [Mexico’s] resolve to be a fully democratic society.”
Three years ago Corral, a 16-year judicial veteran, participated in a California Judicial Council judicial delegation to a Mexican judges conference.
In addition to his international judiciary work, Corral started the first Teen Court in Los Angeles County in 1993 and the program has spread to numerous schools in Los Angeles and other counties. He also headed a fund-raising campaign for a new library in Whittier, and he is the co-founder of a political involvement organization called the Mexican American Action Committee.
Corral has a one year commitment with the National Center, but court officials expect him to sit on assignment when he returns to the U.S.

Cono Zur was successful under a good front running ride from Jimmy at Ayr.
"A run-of-the-mill handicap in which the winner was another to make the vast majority of the running. CONO ZUR came good in July last year and having signalled he was on the way back at Carlisle last time, he proved far too strong for his rivals off a much-reduced mark. While he was suited by dictating the pace, he was full value for his comfortable win and is still going to look competitively treated once reassessed his two wins last summer were off a 9lb higher mark."
- Racing Post
Mutafaakir was dropped to 5f for the first time on the suggestion of PJ McDonald but it was Jimmy that did the steering when Muta took the sprint at Ayr. Not a straightforward horse, he keeps his jockeys and grooms on their toes with his unexpected antics!
" A small field and something of a messy race although the winner, who was providing Ruth Carr and James Sullivan with a double on the card, was full value for his win having hung all over the track. MUTAFAAKIR, dropping to 5f for the first time, landed his second win of the year. Having shown plenty of early dash, he started to hang towards the middle of the track after a couple of furlongs. Once his rider picked up his whip he did straighten back up and by the time he rejoined the main pack, he was comfortably on top. This wasn't a strong race but he has at least opened up more options.

Hyperpolarized 129Xe Cerebral Perfusion MRI Imaging Development
Imaging of cerebral perfusion (the delivery of blood to a capillary bed in the brain tissue) is significant for diagnosing a variety of diseases. There are multiple challenges associated with perfusion imaging which significantly limits the quality of cerebral perfusion images. I am planning to develop a novel approach of cerebral perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using hyperpolarized (HP) xenon-129 (129Xe). To conduct HP 129Xe perfusion imaging, I am developing a novel HP MRI Time-of-Flight (TOF) pulse sequence. This imaging technique allows for the acquisition of perfusion images with a high signal-to-noise ratio and contrast-to-noise ratio. Furthermore, this imaging methodology allows for the acquisition of quantitative perfusion images in less than 20 s. HP 129Xe TOF imaging has the potential to overcome the challenges of current cerebral perfusion imaging and become a powerful tool for early-stage diagnosis of perfusion related neurological diseases such as Alzheimer\'s and Parkinson diseases. This will allow for better treatment planning, which will be beneficial for modern clinical practice. Furthermore, HP 129Xe TOF imaging can significantly improve the understanding of the mechanism of perfusion-related diseases, which will allow for the development of highly efficient treatments for further translation into clinics.

Samuel L. Jackson wasn't the first live-action Nick Fury. That honor belongs to David Hasselhoff, of "Baywatch" fame, who took on the role in a 1998 tv movie that was also a failed pilot for a television series.
Originally written David Goyer, who also gave you the movies "Blade" and "Batman Begins," this spy thriller evokes all the campy thrills of its action-packed TV contemporaries "Xena: Warrior Princess" and "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys."
It's also one of Marvel's most notorious misfires! But could it be that "Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD" was actually canceled too soon? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold explore this infamous dud in the latest episode of the podcast!

JERSEY CITY >> A Jersey City man who pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter in the stabbing death of his mother’s boyfriend has been sentenced to 10 years in prison.
But the victim’s relatives said they felt Gregory Stone deserved a longer prison term, saying they didn’t believe his version of what happened.
Stone initially was charged with murder in the July 2013 slaying of 52-year-old Jules James, but pleaded guilty to the lesser charge in February.
Authorities have said Stone’s mother and James were arguing about the electricity having been cut to their home during a heat wave. When Stone heard what sounded like someone being hit, he got a knife from the kitchen and went upstairs to intervene.
Stone stabbed James several times in the chest and the abdomen.


We need to be vigilant about how we design and train these machine-learning systems, or we will see ingrained forms of bias built into the artificial intelligence of the future.
Like all technologies before it, artificial intelligence will reflect the values of its creators. So inclusivity matters — from who designs it to who sits on the company boards and which ethical perspectives are included. Otherwise, we risk constructing machine intelligence that mirrors a narrow and privileged vision of society, with its old, familiar biases and stereotypes.

Either way, I had solved the problem on my iPad Pro before my Mac was even back up and running.
But then I sat there and cleared dozens of notifications on macOS, closed applications which start up with the system for seemingly no reason. Updated apps. And a bunch of other shit.
Whatever your stance on the great PC vs. Mac question, one thing is beyond debate: Macs have always had better commercials.
Just ten years ago, Microsoft was still trying to beat Palm in the PDA market, and Zune was making its debut as yet another strategy to beat Apple in the MP3 market. Turns out, Microsoft was fighting all the wrong battles.

A new initiative from Sabra Dipping Company (think: hummus) is tackling ‘food desserts’ as its cause of choice, reportedly one of the first companies to select this particular focus for a CSR initiative. Of note: the effort will start in Sabra’s backyard in Richmond, VA and feature an employee work share garden, an excellent way to engage employees in this purpose-focused movement. The company has plans to expand the initiative year over year and will focus on awareness and education in partnership with NGOs, health agencies and other private entities focused on the issue.
Sabra CEO Shali Shalit-Shoval joined employees in Chesterfield County, VA, to launch Sabra’s “Plants with a Purpose,” a community engagement mission dedicated to helping alleviate the impact of Food Deserts in the U.S. Food Deserts, as defined by the USDA, are neighborhoods and towns without ready access to fresh, healthy, affordable food (specifically fruits and vegetables). It is estimated that more than 23 million Americans live in impacted areas. Sabra Dipping Company is the maker of America’s best-selling hummus and a range of dips and spreads, and this program aligns with their vision of bringing people together through fresh food experiences.

In summer, daily ferries connect the islands of Texel, Vlieland and Terschelling without the need to return to the mainland.
But if you've got the time, a more adventurous alternative connects all the islands to Noord-Holland. The Eilandhopper runs a pair of graceful century-old clippers: the Avontuur sails between Amsterdam and Terschelling (via Enkhuizen and Stavoren), and the Willem Jacob between Texel and Schiermonnikoog, visiting all the islands en route. Trips range from several days (with accommodation and meals on board), to a one-day trip (€55 per person) or overnight (€70) typically departing from Terschelling at 6pm and docking on Ameland the following morning at 11am.

ATRAN Airlines, an express carrier within Volga-Dnepr Group, has accomplished its first European live-animal transportation on a flight from Spain to Russia. The Boeing 737-800BCF charter flight has delivered 533 boxes with one-day-old chicks, weighing over 2.200 kilograms, in support of the local agricultural programme.
The project was organised with great contribution from AirBridgeCargo Airlines’ team, one of another carriers within Volga-Dnepr Group which has extensive AVI experience and competence.
Steven Frederix, live animal transportation manager Europe, AirBridgeCargo Airlines, comments: “Following ATRAN’s successful European AVI certification earlier this year and receipt of a Type 2 Transport certificate which allows the company to deliver live animals to, from and across Europe, the ATRAN team of logistics practitioners has organised a dedicated flight containing 42, 640 one-day-old chicks. The delicate animals were handled and transported in accordance with IATA LAR (Live Animals Regulations) and European Council 01/2005 regulations maintaining a 24-26 C in-flight ambient environment at all times in order to ensure animal welfare.”
Vasiliy Zhukov, commercial director of ATRAN Airlines, comments: ‘We have been approaching the AVI market for a long time, seeing the demand and customers’ interests in B737 high-quality services. After implementation of our internal road map which covered certification, personnel training, and expansion of the fleet, we are now ready to offer specialist live-animals transportation services for our customers to and from Europe.”
The flight has been organised aboard the Boeing 737-800BCF which has recently joined the company’s fleet, ramping up its cargo capacity and totaling the number of freighters to seven.

Indigenous cultures in South America have utilized ayahuasca, a traditional Amazonian drink prepared from the ayahuasca vine and other plant ingredients, for spiritual and therapeutic purposes for generations. Ayahuasca has become more and more well-liked in recent years in the United States, where it is frequently taken in a formal setting under the assistance of a shaman or spiritual guide. You may check out the post right here to see the proof of our ayahuasca clients.
The rise of ayahuasca churches, groups that use the drug as a sacrament in a spiritual setting, is one phenomenon that has taken place in the United States. These churches attempt to offer a secure and encouraging environment for people to experience the transformational power of ayahuasca. They frequently draw inspiration from indigenous spiritual traditions and include components of Christian worship.
In the United States, ayahuasca churches often provide ayahuasca ceremonies in a regulated and supervised environment, frequently under the direction of seasoned facilitators who have completed in-depth training in ayahuasca rituals and holistic medicines. It is advised for participants to participate in the process of self-discovery and healing entirely and to approach the experience with an open mind and a clear intention.
Although the usage of ayahuasca in religious settings is not new, the appearance of ayahuasca churches in the United States is relatively recent. It raises significant concerns regarding the moral and legal ramifications of doing so. While other organizations have encountered resistance and legal challenges from law enforcement officials, some, like the Santo Daime church, have sought legal recognition as religious organizations.
It’s vital to remember that ayahuasca use is prohibited in the United States and is governed by both federal and state laws. Therefore, it is crucial to research the group, the facilitators, and the potential advantages and disadvantages of consuming ayahuasca before participating in an ayahuasca ceremony.

What is in this article?:
- WVU mapping soils' ability to absorb radiation
- 35 million soil profile maps
• The Geospatial Research Unit, a collaborative effort of WVU’s Division of Plant and Soil Sciences and the National Soil Survey Center of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service, is examining the soils of Pacific Coast states to determine their ability to sequester, or trap, airborne radiation, in the extremely unlikely event that it drifts from Japan to the western United States.
35 million soil profile maps
The NRCS has entered roughly 35 million individual soil profile maps into its database over time. Waltman credits the combination of WVU’s outstanding computing resources with the vast information of the NRCS for the GRU’s ability to provide nimble response in times of potential emergency.
The GRU uses and develops geographic information systems and other remote sensing technologies to create an inventory of the soils of the United States and an accurate picture of their individual qualities and potential uses. The unit has a diverse clientele, though requests often focus on issues related to climate change.
“That’s one mission of the GRU, to use existing data about the nation’s soil resources for many different purposes, from land use planning to environmental modeling,” said Jim Thompson, WVU director of the unit and an associate professor of soil science in WVU’s Davis College of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Design. According to Thompson, the GRU is unique in its ability to “handle large data sets quickly and synthesize them.”
And soils are a complex natural resource, with tens of thousands of identified series, or types, of soils, each with unique components and properties.
“Any one property of a soil isn’t that difficult to understand, but it’s not just that one property that defines a soil’s reaction to different circumstances,” Thompson said.
With its combination of cutting-edge technology, skilled staff, and the assembled knowledge of the many soils that make up our landscape, the GRU is in a unique position to provide answers both in times of disaster and in periods of opportunity.

Tennis Elbow Exercises
As tennis gains immense popularity among Singaporeans, the prevalence of tennis-related injuries such as tennis elbow has surged. True Mastery Tennis Academy (TM Tennis Academy) recognizes the significance of not only perfecting your game but also prioritizing your physical well-being. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the world of tennis elbow exercises, providing valuable insights and tips tailored to the vibrant tennis community of Singapore.
Understanding Tennis Elbow Tennis elbow, clinically known as lateral epicondylitis, is a prevalent condition that affects the outer part of the elbow. It is characterized by pain and tenderness in the tendons that join the forearm muscles to the outside of the elbow. Despite its name, tennis elbow can occur in any individual, not just exclusive to tennis players. In Singapore, with the growing interest in tennis, the cases of tennis elbow have seen a noticeable rise, emphasizing the importance of proactive measures for prevention and treatment.
Tennis Elbow Exercises: Prevention
Preventive Measures: Importance of Proper Technique At TM Tennis Academy, we believe that prevention is better than cure. While it is crucial to engage in effective tennis elbow exercises, it is equally important to understand the significance of employing proper techniques during your tennis sessions. Research conducted by the Ministry of Health in Singapore has emphasized the role of incorrect techniques in exacerbating the risk of tennis-related injuries. Players often strain their muscles and tendons due to poor backhand or forehand strokes, leading to the development of tennis elbow over time. Enrolling in our professional tennis coaching sessions not only improves your game but also focuses on correcting your techniques, reducing the likelihood of injuries such as tennis elbow.
Effective Tennis Elbow Exercises For individuals already experiencing symptoms of tennis elbow, implementing a series of targeted exercises can aid in reducing pain and promoting recovery. These exercises, when performed correctly, can significantly improve the strength and flexibility of the affected muscles. Remember, consult a healthcare professional or a certified physiotherapist before attempting any new exercise routine, especially if you’re currently suffering from tennis elbow.
- Wrist Extension Stretch To begin, extend your arm straight out in front of you with your palm facing down. Use your other hand to press the stretching hand back gently, holding the position for 15-30 seconds. Repeat this exercise 3-4 times on each arm. This exercise assists in improving the flexibility of the forearm muscles, easing the strain on the tendons.
- Wrist Flexion Stretch Similar to the previous exercise, start by extending your arm in front of you, but this time, with your palm facing up. Use your other hand to apply gentle pressure, pushing your stretching hand downwards. Hold the position for 15-30 seconds and repeat the exercise 3-4 times on each arm. This exercise aids in enhancing the flexibility of the wrist flexor muscles, alleviating the pressure on the affected tendons.
- Eccentric Wrist Exercise Eccentric exercises involve the contraction of muscles while they are lengthening. One effective exercise involves using a light dumbbell or a resistance band. Rest your forearm on a table with your hand hanging over the edge, palm facing down. Hold the weight or band in your hand and slowly lower your wrist towards the ground, then raise it back to the starting position. Perform 2-3 sets of 10-15 repetitions. This exercise promotes the strengthening of the forearm muscles, essential for mitigating the impact of tennis elbow.
- Forearm Pronation and Supination Place your arm on a table or any flat surface with your palm facing down. Holding a lightweight in your hand, rotate your forearm so your palm faces up. Then, rotate it back to the starting position. Perform 2-3 sets of 10-15 repetitions on each arm. This exercise targets the muscles involved in forearm rotation, aiding in building strength and resilience.
At TM Tennis Academy, we incorporate these exercises into our specialized training programs, ensuring that our students not only excel in their tennis skills but also possess the knowledge and means to prevent and manage tennis-related injuries like tennis elbow. Our experienced coaches understand the importance of a holistic approach, prioritizing the well-being of our students above all else.
Holistic Approach: Combining Exercises with Rest and Recovery While engaging in targeted exercises is essential, it is equally crucial to allow your body adequate rest and recovery time. Overworking the affected muscles can delay the healing process and exacerbate the condition. Singapore’s National Health Service (NHS) recommends a balance between exercise and rest, emphasizing the significance of a holistic approach to injury management.
Furthermore, implementing proper warm-up and cool-down routines before and after your tennis sessions can significantly reduce the strain on your muscles and tendons, minimizing the risk of developing tennis elbow.
Seek Professional Guidance and Support In the case of persistent or severe symptoms, it is imperative to consult a healthcare professional or a certified physiotherapist. Their expertise can provide valuable insights and personalized recommendations based on your specific condition. Remember, early intervention and proactive measures can expedite the recovery process and prevent the exacerbation of tennis elbow.
At True Mastery Tennis Academy (TM Tennis Academy), we prioritize the health and well-being of our students. Our comprehensive training programs, combined with our emphasis on injury prevention and management, are designed to foster a nurturing environment for tennis enthusiasts across Singapore.
Conclusion In conclusion, tennis elbow can significantly impact your tennis journey, hindering your performance and causing discomfort. However, with the right approach and a combination of targeted exercises, rest, and professional guidance, you can effectively manage and prevent the occurrence of this condition. TM Tennis Academy remains committed to equipping our students with the necessary tools and knowledge to excel in their game while safeguarding their physical well-being.
Remember, mastering the game begins with prioritizing your health. Let TM Tennis Academy be your partner in achieving your tennis goals, ensuring a fulfilling and injury-free tennis experience.

Wall Street is undermining democracy in America. It is doing this by demanding ever higher profit margins from local television stations that have little more to give. The result is that more Americans are getting less news.
In the process, Wall Street also diminishes the democratic vision of journalism. Now, in addition to gathering and presenting news, stations must be on the lookout for ways to get more advertising money out of their newscasts.
The Ford Foundation and the Radio Television News Directors Foundation just released a study that shows that two-thirds of Americans choose local television as their top source of news compared to any other traditional or new media.
No matter how dismissive you may be of local TV news, most of your neighbors rely on it. Like it or not, this is a story that concerns us all.
Here's what happens: election years make local TV stations happy. Dueling candidates bring in hundreds of thousands - if not millions - of advertising dollars to local stations. The problem is, when the "off" year rolls around, as it will in 2007, Wall Street demands higher profits than it got during the election year.
So 2007 is supposed to be better than 2006.
It can't happen.
But the corporations that own those stations will do their best to satisfy Wall Street anyway. Rather than fight the notion that news is a commodity like corn and pork bellies, CEOs of those media corporations keep figuring ways to get Wall Street the profit it wants.
This desperate game of catch-up is unfolding as the Internet gnaws at television's revenue base. It's a small nibble now. It will get bigger. Meanwhile, TV stations get a smaller piece of that advertising pie with each passing year.
One local TV executive said recently, "In the history of television, there have been only four years when profits did not grow. Three of those years have been since 2001."
When local television stations are squeezed, so are citizens who rely on them for the information they need to make decisions in a democracy.
We need to tell Wall Street, and the CEOs of the media companies that are slaves to stock prices, to look for something else to squeeze.
Democracy demands it.


The Warwick University Satellite (WUSAT) Team are now in our eighth year of operation. We completed six years of work (2006–2012) as the electrical power subsystem team on ESA's moon orbiting satellite (ESMO).
Since early 2012 we have been developing our own Cubesat satellite, a nanosatellite, typically a cube 0.1m wide with a mass of less than 1.33kg.
In May 2013, our first Cubesat (WUSAT1) was launched via a high-altitude weather balloon to an altitude of 30km in order to test its systems in a harsh environment where the ambient temperature dropped to lower than -50°C, prior to future rocket launches. The satellite successfully took some stunning images and video you can see in the Media section of our website.
Currently we are engaged in further development of the satellite (WUSAT2) to carry a spectroscopy payload to an altitude approaching 100km. We have been accepted to take part in the prestigious DLR/SNSB project REXUS (Rocket Experiment for University Students) and are working towards this launch on a sounding rocket from the Esrange Space Centre in northern Sweden in 2015. The spectroscopy payload will sample elements of the Earth's atmosphere as it descends, and will emulate and prove a method of analysing potential exoplanets that exist outside of our own Solar System.

If the okara is too moist, either microwave it or lightly cook it in a frying pan.
Combine the okara and natto in a bowl. If the smell concerns you, place the natto in a strainer and rinse with water.
Mix in the dried seaweed as-is without rehydrating. Add the Japanese leek, katakuriko, and salt. Mix well.
If it's too difficult to mix, dilute with a small amount of soy milk or water.
Form into an oval shape. Cook in an oiled frying pan until the surface is crispy.
Reduce to low heat, add the combined sauce ingredients and mix together and serve.
Story Behind this Recipe
This is a main dish that gets no complaints, even though it's vegetarian!
The unique natto smell only gets stronger as you cook it. If it concerns you, put the natto in a strainer and wash away the stickiness with water to reduce the smell. The texture may change depending on the amount of moisture in the okara. By reducing the moisture and using a lot of katakuriko, you can increase the density. For a more moist texture, add soy milk.

What happens when you mix chopped chicken, sesame, oranges, and a bunch of vegetables? You end up making the most delicious chicken salad with oranges and sesame seeds, something that leaves you wanting more.
This is a variety of salad that is fresh, healthy, and a fine appetizer. Easy to make and easy to win hearts with, this salad is perfect for a house gathering, a barbecue party or simply entertaining friends without any occasion whatsoever.
At least four to six servings can be made with one large bowl of the salad.
- A couple of chicken breasts that must be skinless and boneless
- Pepper and salt
- Olive Oil
- A quarter cup of wine vinegar
- A quarter cup of sodium soy sauce
- Minced garlic and clove
- Two tablespoons of freshly minced ginger
- One teaspoon of sesame oil must be toasted
- Red pepper flakes crushed
- A packet of Mixed Greens
- Thin slices of half an onion
- A cup of grape tomatoes
- A tablespoon of sesame seeds
- A tablespoon of black sesame seeds
- The most important aspect is the dressing. Get the vinegar, olive oil, soy sauce, sugar, ginger, pepper flakes, and sesame oil in a blender.
- Make sure you blend them well and then adjust the dressing in accordance with your taste.
- Make sure you spread out pepper and salt on either side of the chicken.
- Get a grill pan or a skillet on which you have to heat the olive oil. Get the chicken cooked on either side with moderate heat.
- Cook it for about ten minutes and you should be able to see a good color on the meat.
- Get it removed from the heat and let it rest for about five minutes before you cut it into cubes.
- Get a bowl and place the meat in it. Pour about one-third of the dressing over the chicken and keep tossing it to make the coat even.
- Now, you must let the mix rest for some time and get the sesame seeds sprinkled over it.
- Make sure you toss the mix so that the seeds can adhere to the body of the meat.
- Now take the mixed greens and the sliced onions along with the tomatoes and put them in a bowl.
- Pour the rest of the dressing in the bowl and keep tossing to have a good coating.
- Have the oranges arranged all over the dressing and your salad is ready to be served.
Yes, it is that simple!


Kate has heard from older constituents and their carers in Trafford about their own personal experiences of social care, and how they feel a sustainable care system could be built.
The event, organised by Age UK and Age UK Trafford, comes ahead of the government’s plans to publish a green paper on care and support for older people by summer 2018. It is part of the charity’s work to ensure that the voices of older people are heard as the Government prepares to set out its plans.
Kate said: “Carers in my constituency do an amazing job looking after friends or family members. But the carers I met at Age UK Trafford told me they want better information, more coordination of services, and a fair system of funding for anyone who needs care. It’s wrong that the system doesn’t give them the support they deserve, when they give so much. I’ll be proud to speak up for them in parliament.”
Ann Marie Jones, Chief Executive of Age UK Trafford said: “We are grateful to Kate Green MP for attending the event at Age UK Trafford and listening to our focus group of carers about their experiences of social care in Trafford. They very much welcomed the opportunity to influence the future of social care with Kate’s support”
Caroline Abrahams, Age UK’s Charity Director said about the event: “It’s always incredibly valuable hearing directly from older people about the social care challenges they face and equally their thoughts about solutions.
“We look forward to continuing to work with Government to ensure that older people’s views and experiences really do inform new social care policy.
“Not only is this the right thing to do in principle, it also makes it much more likely the proposals the Government ultimately produces for strengthening social care make a real difference.”

Philly Cheesesteak is a sandwich made with super thinly sliced ribeye steak, caramelized onion, and provolone cheese. That simple combination is the original classic as made popular on the East Coast. The Philly Cheesesteak has been modified on the West Coast to include bell peppers and mushrooms but a true “Philly” only has steak, onion and cheese served over a roll.
Ribeye is the steak of choice for Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches. It is well-marbled and tender when cooked. Another cut that we have used with great results is flank steak which is lean but very tender when cut against the grain. You will need a little extra oil on your cooking surface if using flank steak.
1 lb Ribeye steak trimmed and thinly sliced*
1/2 tsp Sea salt or to taste
1/2 tsp Black pepper or to taste
1 sweet onion (large), diced
8 slices provolone cheese mild (not aged provolone)
4 Hoagie Rolls sliced 3/4 through
2 Tbsp unsalted butter softened
1 garlic clove pressed
2-4 Tbsp mayonnaise or to taste
Slice hoagie rolls 3/4 of the way through with a serrated knife. Dice onions and thinly slice beef.*
In a small bowl, stir together 2 Tbsp softened butter with 1 pressed garlic clove. Spread garlic butter onto the cut sides of 4 hoagie roll. Toast the buns on a large skillet, flat cooktop or griddle on medium heat until golden brown then set aside.
Add 1 Tbsp oil to your pan/cooktop and sautee diced onions until caramelized then transfer to a bowl.
Increase to high heat and add 1 Tbsp oil. Spread the super thinly sliced steak in an even layer. Let brown for a couple of minutes undisturbed then flip and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Sautee until steak is fully cooked through then stir in the caramelized onions.
Divide into 4 even portions and top each with 2 slices of cheese and turn off the heat so the cheese will melt without overcooking the meat.
Spread a thin layer of mayo on the toasted side of each roll. Working with one portion at a time, place a toasted bun over each portion and use a spatula to scrape the cheesy beef into your bun as you flip it over. Serve warm.

It's time for the color of the living room to be changed. There, I said it. It's been 4 years now, and I'm tired of it.
Tired in a way that means it feels dark to me, and I want to be brave and paint it a light color like this..... (photo courtesy of restoration hardware) somewhere in the grey/very light tan/white family. Is there such a color?I see all these cute cottege-y looking living rooms with the white sofa's and the adorable pillows like these... (AGAIN Restoration Hardware) which I'm totally gonna try to make,
and I just want a change. However, I'm not gonna go with stark white walls. I'm a color person, I can't do just white.
So, help me out. This is what color the living room currently is:
It's a grey/dark brown kinda color. It's not made anymore (of course), and as you can see, in different light it looks different colors, but it's just a little too dark for my taste these days.
Should I paint it more like the color of my dining room?
Should I paint the trim white, which seems to be the fashion AGAIN these days, or should I leave it the fake looking oak? Decisions decisions.
I DO know that I will try to make one of these soon: (pottery barn)
and I will get some of these (pottery barn) (but I will get them MUCH cheaper) and maybe paint a number on each one and set them around the living room.
But PLEASE, for the love of pete, give me some ideas about the color of my living room. It's the cheapest way to change the look of your home, and I'm all about the cheap. I absolutely despise painting, but I do it out of love for my home.
