text: So when the weather report said it would be just awful there was no question that we'd be going anyway. Free tickets, the Bamse attraction, plus the promise of plenty of Swedish celeb sightings were way more powerful than a little rain. And while we were basically drenched and shivering the entire time, we had a lot of fun and saw many celebs and, per the usual, got teary over the dolphin show and, best of all, got to see Jamie having the time of his life. So thank you, Sarianne, for a wonderful day! You're a very popular aunty right now!

So let’s talk manners…please!
You know those 3 little phrases that we start teaching our children before they can talk. “Say please.” “what do you say?” You know those great manners! And we applaud them and boast with pride when the cutest little “pease” “tank you” and “cuse me” comes out of those tiny mouths!! She has manners! She’s so polite!!
Those same manners we expect our children to use throughout their childhood and into their teenage years. My son, Matthew, is nine. I know he’s my son but I have to say he’s a very polite kid! He very rarely forgets to say please and thank you. Any chance he gets to open and hold a door for someone he does. It makes me so proud.
So what’s the problem you ask?
Somewhere between our teenage years and adulthood people forget manners. Maybe it’s society now. Maybe it’s…okay I’ve got nothing. There should be no reason…ABSOLUTELY no reason that us adults can’t have manners! We wonder why kids these day don’t know simple manners but look at adults!!
I was raised to always say please and thank you. I was raised to say excuse me when I walked in front of someone and hold a door for anyone who might be walking behind me. But I’m fed up with the lack of response that is returned. And I’m fed up with the lack of respect in people not using the same manners to others.
Maybe I expect too much but I really don’t think its asking too much to respond especially when a child says excuse me or thank you. What gets me the most is when Matthew holds the door for someone and they don’t even respond!!
The momma bear in me wants to tackle them to the ground and yell “DID YOU SEE MY SON HOLD THE DOOR FOR YOUR UNPOLITE BUTT? YES YOU DID? OH WELL A THANK YOU WOULD BE GREAT!!” But…the mom in me just smiles at him, shrugs my shoulders and tells him how proud I am of him!
I have to admit I was ready to give up! Screw it I’m not using manners anymore!! After a trip to the dreaded Walmart I was sitting on my living room floor thinking about all the rude people and how I’m over it and not saying it again. Right then my 2 year old came walking in front of me and says so sweetly “cuse me mom.”
Okay for my kids I will continue to use the manners my parents instilled in me!! Because they are the future and if I don’t teach them to be polite who will!
Moral of the story: a little politeness goes a long way! And you never know what little eyes are watching and learning!
Have a blessed day…please!

Shopping and Eating in Dubrovnik, Croatia
Dubrovnik is one of the largest cities in the country of Croatia.
Shopping in Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik defined by AbbreviationFinder has no distinct shopping street, and the inhabitants of the city usually end up in Gruz when they have to do their errands. There are no major shopping centers here either, but along the street by the harbor the shops are in a row, and here it is usually cheaper than in the old town. You should also join the morning market. It sells mainly fruits and vegetables, flowers, meat and fish.
Prices are not very much lower in Dubrovnik than in Norway, especially not on imported goods. However, you can do some bargaining when it comes to distinctly Croatian products. Craft art is still maintained.
Intricate fine lace is an ancient art form in Croatia, especially those made on the island of Pag. These are sold throughout the country in souvenir shops.
Jewels, gold and silver have become more popular and affordable in recent years, after Kosovo retailers opened several new stores in Dubrovnik.
Herbal bags and oils have also become common and popular gifts from Croatia. These products are also sold in most souvenir shops found on Placa and the parallel street below, called od Puca.
Most districts in Croatia brew their own brandy of plums or raisins. Dubrovnik is no exception, and a bottle of this fire water is also worth bringing along.
Shopping centers can be found on the Lapad Peninsula and in the Gruz area.
Eating in Dubrovnik
The influence of Italian cuisine is strong in Croatia. Restaurants that mainly serve pizza, pasta and lasagna abound. If you like Italian cuisine, you will have good dining days in Dubrovnik.
Otherwise, the most seafood dominates the menu. Fish, crab, lobster and oysters are available in a variety of varieties at most of the better restaurants, as well as a few meat dishes. You usually get a bread basket on the table before the food is served, and there is no danger of being served. Unlike in many other countries, it will not show the shock map on the bill.
Labyrinths are considered among the city’s better (and most expensive) restaurants. It is located just inside the eastern city gate. The seafood is excellent, but there is also game on the menu, and the wine list is among the country’s most extensive. On the other side of the price range, you have Spaghetteria Toni, which for years has been considered the city’s best pizza and pasta.
If you live in Lapad, there are also plenty of options. Restaurant Levanat has a beautiful terrace with brilliant views and good food at reasonable prices, and at Hotel Grand Park you will find something as special as a fast food seafood restaurant. It’s called Sardine Snack.

Do roses like coffee grounds?
Roses do like coffee grounds, but too much too close can give them a nasty nitrogen burn and can kill your roses.
Never sprinkle coffee grounds right next to the plant..
What bugs do coffee grounds deter?
According to the EPA, coffee grounds are a safe and effective way to keep pests away. Not only do they repel mosquitos, but also other insects such as wasps and bees. Coffee grounds are the bee’s knees when it comes to staying bug bite free.
What can I do with old coffee grounds?
16 Creative Ways to Use Old Coffee GroundsFertilize Your Garden. Most soil does not contain the essential nutrients needed for optimal plant growth. … Compost It for Later. … Repel Insects and Pests. … Remove Fleas from Your Pet. … Neutralize Odors. … Use It as a Natural Cleaning Scrub. … Scour Your Pots and Pans. … Exfoliate Your Skin.More items…•
Which plants like banana peels?
This means potassium-rich banana peels are excellent for plants like tomatoes, peppers or flowers. Banana peels also contain calcium, which prevents blossom end rot in tomatoes.
Do tomatoes like coffee grounds?
Tomatoes like slightly acidic soil, not overly-acidic soil. Used coffee grounds have a pH of about 6.8. If in doubt, throw them on the compost pile! There’s no question that nutrients are released during composting as organic matter breaks down.
Can you put coffee grounds in potted plants?
Coffee grounds (and brewed coffee) are a source of nitrogen for plants, which is the nutrient that produces healthy green growth and strong stems. … You can use coffee fertilizer on your potted plants, houseplants, or in your vegetable garden.
Do coffee grounds damage plants?
Like clay soil, coffee grounds consist of very fine particles that are prone to locking together. This turns them into a barrier that will resist water penetration and eventually result in plants dying of thirst.
Are tea bags good for plants?
Composting tea bags is a “green” method of disposal and terrific for the health of all your plants, providing organic matter to increase drainage while maintaining moisture, promoting earthworms, increasing oxygen levels and maintaining soil structure for a more beautiful garden.
Are eggshells good for plants?
The calcium from eggshells is also welcome in garden soil, where it moderates soil acidity while providing nutrients for plants. Eggshells contain such an abundance of calcium that they can be used almost like lime, though you would need a lot of eggshells to make a measurable impact.
Do coffee grounds repel mice?
Unfortunately the mouse’s home is most likely inside the walls of your home. … Sprinkling coffee grounds, or putting a small bowl of them near the wall that seems to be the source of the smell will help to diffuse the odor, a far superior idea than cutting open the wall to remove the dead pest.
Which plants like egg shells?
Plants like tomatoes, peppers and eggplants in particular will benefit from shell fertilizer, Savio said. The extra calcium will help prevent blossom-end rot. Broccoli, cauliflower, Swiss chard, spinach and amaranth are also calcium-packed and could use extra from eggshells.
Do coffee grounds attract rats?
A. Avoid the eggshells in your compost, but coffee grounds, fruit peels and other leafy material will not attract rodents. Rats are common everywhere people are.
Can you put too much coffee grounds in your garden?
Because they are acidic, coffee grounds make good acid mulch. Of course, too much of anything is just too much, so apply coffee grounds in limited amounts. … Working coffee grounds into the soil will improve its tilth, but do this sparingly unless you have acid-loving plants, like camellias and azaleas.
How do I use coffee grounds in my garden?
Using Coffee Grounds as Fertilizer To use coffee grounds as a fertilizer sprinkle them thinly onto your soil, or add them to your compost heap. Despite their color, for the purposes of composting they’re a ‘green’, or nitrogen-rich organic material.
How often should I put coffee grounds on my plants?
A cup or so of grounds per week for a small worm bin is perfect. In addition to using coffee grounds in your worm bin, earthworms in your soil will also be more attracted to your garden when you use them mixed with the soil as fertilizer.
Do coffee grounds kill ants?
It’s not just a natural solution, it’s also cheap. Next time you have a cup of coffee, save the grounds rather than throwing them away: Spread used coffee grounds around pet food bowls and other areas where you wish to repel ants. Ants are repulsed by the strong smell the brewed coffee grounds put out.
Is baking soda good for plants?
Baking soda on plants causes no apparent harm and may help prevent the bloom of fungal spores in some cases. It is most effective on fruits and vegetables off the vine or stem, but regular applications during the spring can minimize diseases such as powdery mildew and other foliar diseases.
What does Starbucks do with used coffee grounds?
Starbucks started its Grounds for Your Garden program in 1995, which is offered on a first-come, first-served basis in participating stores where local codes permit. Even the packaging has been reused – baristas scoop spent coffee grounds into the empty bags originally used to ship espresso beans to stores.
Can you put moldy coffee grounds in your garden?
When grounds are stored they tend to develop green or blue-green fungus that looks like mold. The green fungus called Trichoderma, is very beneficial to the soil. … At any rate, moldy coffee is good to use directly in the garden, on your houseplants, or in the compost pile.
Which plants do not like coffee grounds?
In most cases, the grounds are too acidic to be used directly on soil, even for acid-loving plants like blueberries, azaleas and hollies. Coffee grounds inhibit the growth of some plants, including geranium, asparagus fern, Chinese mustard and Italian ryegrass.

Yes, I'm aware I'm painfully behind on my blog. Yes, I intend to do a better job of posting in the future. No, I'm not making any promises. That said...
Anyone who knew me from the age of 21-26 knows that I used to karaoke at KJs in DeKalb constantly. My little townie bar, with a bunch of regulars who recognized me...my own personal Cheers! Anyway, Thursday nights Courtney was running karaoke, and whenever someone sang a song she didn't know, she said it was "New Sh**t Thursday." Well, the key to New Sh**t Thursday was that the song didn't, in fact, have to be new...just new to her...or new to KJs...or new to anyone, really. Well, the phrase kind of stuck with me (and a number of us who frequented KJs on Thursday nights), and I still use it when I hear new music I like, or when I'm introducing music that I love to someone else who doesn't know it (and it doesn't even have to be a Thursday! lol).
Anyway, the point of this whole thing is that when I got my new car, I also got satellite radio and branched out to a lot of new music again...I had been in quite a country rut. I was telling my sister about some of it and realized she'd been in a pretty serious country rut too. Soooo...iTunes to the rescue! I downloaded a bunch of new music, and made a mix CD to bring her up to speed. Behold, the...
New Sh**t Thursday Mix
1) Rolling in the Deep - Adele
2) Dirt Road Anthem - Jason Aldean
3) Little Lion Man - Mumford & Sons
4) What the Hell - Avril Lavigne
5) Firework - Katy Perry
6) F**kin' Perfect - Pink
7) For the First Time - The Script
8) Jar of Hearts - Christina Perri
9) Fireflies - Owl City
10) Forget You - Cee Lo Green
11) Runaway Baby - Bruno Mars

And that's it for today! More soon, hopefully :)

These basic wall cabinets have a very clean, contemporary look but frameless cabinets are versatile. By using nicer doors, adding some crown molding and light rail trim you can achieve a more traditional look.
You can save a lot of money if you build your own frameless cabinets. While building frameless cabinets isn't very difficult it is important that the cuts are accurate and the pieces as well as the assembly is square. Before you go crazy in your kitchen with a sledgehammer and order a large pile of plywood Try to build one small cabinet to make sure you're happy with your results.

The man nicknamed “the father of creativity” was psychologist E. Paul Torrance. In the 1940s he began researching creativity to help improve American education. In order to encourage creativity, we needed to define it—to measure and analyze it. We measured intelligence with an IQ score; why not measure creativity?
Torrance drew on contemporary research that related creativity to divergent thinking—the characteristic of coming up with more answers, or more original answers, rather than deriving a single best answer. That divergent-thinking trait might exhibit itself in different situations, so that, in Torrance’s view, the creativity shown by an artist was not different in type than the creativity shown by a scientist, a teacher, or a parent. The Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking were the work of Paul Torrance’s lifetime. They are still widely used to assess students and job applicants, and have been translated into more than 50 languages.
But there’s a problem. “I’m not sure I have a definition of creativity,” says James Borland. And Borland should know — he’s a professor of education at Teachers College, Columbia University.
“It’s one of those human constructions that isn’t discovered but invented ... It’s a word we use in everyday speech and it makes perfect sense, but when you start to study it and try to separate out its constituent parts, it becomes more and more and more confusing. Nobody agrees on what it is.”
How can we measure something if we can’t agree on what it is?

Christian Slater is the latest actor to sign on for controversial director Lars von Trier’s upcoming sexual drama Nymphomaniac, according to Coming Soon. The star of such films as True Romance, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, and the cult classic Heathers is the latest actor to sign on for the two-part endeavor, which is scheduled to be released in NC-17 and R-rated cuts.
Slater will appear alongside a number of talented players including Shia LaBeouf, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Stellan Skarsgard, Jamie Bell, and Connie Nielsen. Variety reports that Slater will portray the dad of a self-proclaimed nymphomaniac named Jo (Gainsbourg).
Specifically, here’s what the film is about:
“On a cold winter’s evening the old, charming bachelor, Seligman, finds Joe beaten up in an alleyway. He brings her home to his flat where he tends to her wounds while asking her about her life. He listens intently as Joe over the next eight chapters recounts the lushly branched-out and multi faceted story of her life, rich in associations and interjecting incidents.”
Word around the campfire is that star Shia LaBeouf, who recently let it all hang out in a music video from Icelandic rockers Sigur Rós, submitted his very own sex tape for director Lars Von Trier’s consideration. If you’re going to get down to business in front of the camera, you might as well show your prospective employer what you’re working with.
During a recent interview with MTV News, LaBeouf revealed that he’s willing to do whatever the director wants during the film’s production. “[The movie] is what you think it is,” he explained. “It is Lars von Trier, making a movie about what he’s making. For instance, there’s a disclaimer at the top of the script that basically says we’re doing it for real. Everything that is illegal, we’ll shoot in blurred images. Other than that, everything is happening.”
Nymphomaniac, which now counts Christian Slater among its cast, isn’t scheduled to hit theaters until sometime next year.

IT’S INVISIBLE AND OMNIPRESENT?
Fortunately Versaperm’s WVTR Meter can measure it
Click to download print quality scan
Water Vapour gets everywhere – especially where it isn’t wanted. It makes drugs degrade, paper curl, food spoil and
is the bane of chemists and engineers everywhere. It causes hundreds of millions of pounds of products to be wasted each year. Fortunately, Versaperm has produced a
fast, accurate and versatile laboratory instrument for measuring the rate at which it flows through any material or coating
Versaperm’s equipment can test the permeability and ERH of a huge range of materials and enclosures – from paint to
packaging, egg shells to enclosures and paper to pastry. It can also provide measurements of substances that might otherwise be decomposed by normal water content
The Versaperm WVTR (Water Vapour Transmission) meter can cope with several samples at a time and can give a reading in
as little as 30 minutes – whereas the conventionally gravimetric measurement technique takes several days and is significantly less accurate.
The WVTR meter is simple to use and gives a series of digital readouts that can be recorded or simply read off the LCD
screen. It needs no re-calibration and requires, at most, minimal training to give results that are accurate to better than one part per million (with some samples
a few parts per hundred million). Sensitivities are in the range 0.05 – 3200g/m2/day.
A wide range of variations is available, depending on the specific application, but both single and multi-sample systems and a wide range of chambers is available
for testing samples the size of a section of thimble through to a 25 litre drum.

Thanks Rob. There is more research to do on further miniaturizing the vacuum pump as well as packaging and ruggedization for specific applications, but we're already at a stage where it could be paired with a gas sensor and mounted on a UAV to be used with bio-terror or bio-hazard detection. Industrial and consumer applications will take longer because the vacuum pump must be much smaller. However, I am confident we'll see some of these applications in the next few years. We continue to explore development possibilities within Honeywell, but would also welcome interest from other companies that may have a particular application idea.
It sounds like this research is just the seed of a potentially promising tree of ideas. Micro-turbine technology for vacuum pumps are one application. I suppose small pumps for extremely hazardous fluids is another. Fluids do funny things at small length scales. Growing small silicon turbine blads is a neat area of research. Keep us informed on this!
These things really suck, Rob. Sorry, it's late and I could not resist. In fact, this is VERY fascinating and begs all sorts of questions. Like, how fast do these micropumps spin? What sort of bearings support the impellers? Would such a micropump in a mobile phone be audible?
Nice article, Wei. Seems like there would be a wide range of applications for a micro vacuum pump. You mentioned a number of possible applications. Do you know if these additional applications are in the works?

text: In Adulterous Nations, Tatiana Kuzmic enlarges our perspective on the nineteenth-century novel of adultery and how it often served as a metaphor for relationships between the imperial and the colonized. In the context of the long-standing practice of gendering nations as female, the novels discussed—Eliot’s Middlemarch, Fontane’s Effi Briest, and Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina, along with Šenoa’s The Goldsmith’s Gold and Sienkiewicz’s Quo Vadis—can be understood as depicting international crises on the scale of the nuclear family. Kuzmic argues that the hopes, anxieties, and interests of European nations in this period can be discerned in the destabilizing force of adultery. Reading the work of Šenoa and Sienkiewicz, Kuzmic illuminates the relationship between the literature of dominant nations and that of the semicolonized territories that posed a threat to them. Kuzmic’s study enhances our understanding of not only these novels but nineteenth-century European literature more generally.

Updated August 27, 2017 - 12:02 pm
Parts of The Cromwell and Drai’s Beachclub and Nightclub were evacuated early Sunday after reports of a shooting that turned out to be false, Las Vegas police said.
Metropolitan Police Department officers responded about 1:15 a.m. to the reported shooting, resulting in a rapid evacuation of the casino floor and the property’s nightclubs at 3503 Las Vegas Blvd. South.
The Police Department’s investigation found no shots were fired. Metro Lt. Peter Kisfalvi said large statues were knocked down onto the tile floor during a fight at Drai’s, causing panic and prompting the reports of a shooting.
Chris Brown was scheduled to perform at Drai’s as part of the club’s fight weekend performance lineup, following Saturday night’s megafight between Las Vegan Floyd Mayweather and UFC star Conor McGregor at T-Mobile Arena.
As of 4 a.m., the casino floor was closed to enable The Cromwell team members to secure any property left by guests and patrons. “We expect to resume regular operations of the hotel at 5 a.m.,” Caesars Entertainment Corp. said in a statement.

4 Weeks After Conception
No longer a flat disk, the sides of the embryo begin to fold along the long axis (a.k.a. the primitive groove or streak) and is three dimensional. The chest and stomach are forming, and the heart -- right now just a little tube -- starts beating around the 22nd to 25th day after conception. That wee heartbeat will be visible via ultrasound soon! Similarly, your baby's brain waves can now be measured with an electroencephalogram.
Here's a closer look at what your baby may look like right around four weeks after conception, or at six weeks menstrual age.

When it comes to winter footwear flat pedal riders are totally underrepresented. There are only two waterproof boots we know of with a flat sole, the Vaude AM Moab and the Five Ten GTX. Leatt’s new 7.0 HydraDri winter boot increases the number to three and as you can see is a slightly different take on the winter boot using a fully-sealed cover.
Design and specifications
Rather than the membrane being incorporated into the boot, the 7.0 HydraDri uses a sort of attached overshoe, a bit like the Giro Blaze MTB we featured in our Clipless Winter Boots buyer's guide. Not only does this semi-fitted cover create an air gap to add warmth, it’s also less constricting. The loose fit allows the cover to move with you, making the boot easier to get on. To speed up access Leatt runs a full zip down the front of this boot and uses a micro lace system with a toggled drawstring, which you can tighten easily with one hand.
The membrane is an in-house HydraDri that according to company, has a claimed waterproof and breathability rating of 10K. These figures wouldn’t be anything to write home about on the label of a waterproof jacket but when it comes to winter footwear breathability is not so important, you just want the material to keep your feet dry. However, that does depend on the weather because with winters in some areas becoming much milder, breathability may become more of a factor. That said, I’ve never heard anyone complain on a winter ride that their feet are too hot.
Some winter boots, notably the Five Ten GTX, are quite narrow and tapered but Leatt has opted for a wider last, so there’s more space for your feet to spread out and also room for a thicker sock. Overall, the 7.0 HydraDri just feels more comfortable and warmer than the Five Ten GTX and also the majority of the clipless winter boots I’ve tested recently, such as the Shimano MW7 XC.
Since the last is a little wider the 7.0 HydraDri’s sole is wider too. There’s more support and more protection although this does impact on chainstay and crank clearance. The chevron shaped sole offers good mechanical grip and the toe and heel areas also feature ‘mudflow’ channels, which is just a more open tread, for off-the-bike hikes.
The nylon face fabric is heavy duty rip-stop but Leatt also adds some texture panels at the heel and toe. There are some nice little details including internal pull tags, a storm flap on the waterproof zip and a stretchy press-stud collar. The creates a snug fit around the ankle and stops water running into the top of the boot.
The 7.0 HydraDri does keep the wet out. It’s also toasty warm and super easy to get into, which I find puts less stress on the materials. With boots that are hard to get into you can end up ripping the neoprene material or compressing the heel as you wiggle them on.
I also can’t fault the comfort but, unfortunately, the grip is not of the same level. The sole features Leatt's RideGrip PRO compound, which is much harder than the Stealth rubber used on the Five Ten GTX. I measured the durometer and rebound characteristics and it’s like the difference between riding a firm Maxxis tire over a Super Tacky. Leatt says the rubber is hard-wearing and that is true, there’s very little wear especially where the pedal platform contacts the sole, but in wet and muddy conditions you really need high grip levels from a flat pedal shoe. This one just doesn’t feel as locked in, and more so when it’s cold, because the rubber is just harder.
The Leatt 7.0 HydraDri is warmer, more comfortable and easier to get into than the Five Ten GTX. The build quality is better too, but when riding flat pedals, especially in cold and wet weather, grip is king. To take the flat winter boot crown, the Leatt 7.0 HydraDri simply needs a softer rubber sole.

Jehoahaz son of Jehu began to rule over Israel in the twenty-third year of King Joash's reign in Judah. He reigned in Samaria seventeen years.
But he did what was evil in the LORD's sight. He followed the example of Jeroboam son of Nebat, continuing the sins of idolatry that Jeroboam son of Nebat had led Israel to commit.
So the LORD was very angry with Israel, and he allowed King Hazael of Aram and his son Ben-hadad to defeat them time after time.
Then Jehoahaz prayed for the LORD's help, and the LORD heard his prayer. The LORD could see how terribly the king of Aram was oppressing Israel.
So the LORD raised up a deliverer to rescue the Israelites from the tyranny of the Arameans. Then Israel lived in safety again as they had in former days.
But they continued to sin, following the evil example of Jeroboam. They even set up an Asherah pole in Samaria.
Finally, Jehoahaz's army was reduced to fifty mounted troops, ten chariots, and ten thousand foot soldiers. The king of Aram had killed the others like they were dust under his feet.
The rest of the events in Jehoahaz's reign and all his deeds, including the extent of his power, are recorded in The Book of the History of the Kings of Israel.
When Jehoahaz died, he was buried in Samaria with his ancestors. Then his son Jehoash a became the next king.

EVART — There were a good number of handsome bucks entered in the annual Evart Big Buck Contest, sponsored by the Evart Chamber of Commerce and facilitated by the members of the Evart Masonic Lodge. The Opening Day contest was hampered early on by decidedly foggy conditions and warm temperatures, but a little later in the day some big bucks were bagged.
In First Place this year was Joe Prichard who got a beautiful 8-point buck with a 20.5-inch spread for a total of 28.5 points.


2 x Vinyl LP, Compact Disc (CD)
Born in London, raised in Lagos, and based in New York, Michael Olatuja’s album Lagos Pepper Soup is a fresh and innovative take on the long cross-continental dialogue between Black American jazz and West African popular music. The album opens with “Even Now Prayer,” a brief but captivating mood-setter whose uptempo backbeat and sweeping synths suggest the soulful, utopian sound of broken beat London pioneers like 4hero and New Sector Movements. Things kick into high gear with the title track “Lagos Pepper Soup,” a driving Afrobeat cut that features a shining performance from Nigerian vocal legend Angelique Kidjo and an imaginative solo from guitarist Lionel Loueke. “The Hero’s Journey” is a grand and optimistic piece that shows off Olatuja’s compositional gifts. An evocative, string-heavy tune, it allows jazz violinist Regina Carter to shine while Olatuja’s playing in the background is subtle and restrained. “Ma Foya” is a gorgeous instrumental work that centers some fantastic harp playing from Brandee Younger.
Lagos Pepper Soup is an ambitious work of African diasporic jazz. Olatuja’s bass playing throughout the album is vibrant and endlessly creative. Coupled with his compositional skill and performances from an impressive list of guest vocalists and instrumentalists, Lagos Pepper Soup is a bold and colorful release that comfortably holds space for a rich musical exchange between American jazz and the music of the African continent.

Social Media Reacts to Eli Lilly’s Price Reduction of Insulin
What does social media have to say about Eli Lilly’s insulin price reduction?
Lilly has dropped the prices of its most commonly prescribed insulins by 70 percent in the US and is expanding a program to immediately cap patient out-of-pocket costs at $35 per month. Its unbranded insulin lispro injection will cost $25 per vial – which will be less than the price of a Humalog vial in 1999. The price of Humalog will be reduced by 70 percent in Q4 of 2023. Lilly is also launching a Lantus biosimilar, which will be priced 78 percent lower than Lantus.
In a statement, Lilly Chair and CEO David A Ricks issued what sounds like a challenge to other insulin manufacturers: “We are driving for change in repricing older insulins, but we know that 7 out of 10 Americans don’t use Lilly insulin. We are calling on policymakers, employers and others to join us in making insulin more affordable.”
And certainly the pressure is now on for Novo Nordisk and Sanofi to similarly reduce their insulin prices. Bernie Sanders has written letters to both companies to ask if they would be lowering the cost of insulin. The letters state: “Insulin is not a new drug. It was discovered 100 years ago by Canadian scientists who sold the patent rights of insulin for just $1 because they wanted to save lives, not make pharmaceutical executives extremely wealthy. And yet, as a result of unacceptable corporate greed, the price of insulin has gone up by over 1,000 percent since 1996 causing 1.3 million people with diabetes to ration insulin last year, while your companies made billions of dollars in profits.”
In 2022, it was reported that some uninsured patients in the US were paying over $1000 per month for insulin. The cost of medicines – particularly insulin – in the US has been under fire for some time. The Inflation Reduction Act was passed last year to give Medicare power to negotiate on the price of certain drugs and a monthly price cap of $35 for insulin for Medicare patients was also introduced. Efforts to introduce the insulin price cap in the private healthcare market were blocked by Republicans, but Eli Lilly appears to have read the room. It’s worth noting that in November 2022, the company was also at the center of a media storm and public shaming campaign – triggered by the great Twitter blue tick debacle when a parody “verified” Lilly Twitter account posted that insulin would be available for free. Lilly seems not to have posted on Twitter since.
In fact, some Twitter users believe that the latest announcement stems from the backlash Lilly experienced last year. What else are Twitter users saying about Lilly’s latest announcement? There’s a lot of celebration, but some have pointed out that Lilly had to do something with incoming competition from organizations like Civica Rx, which has been shaking up the generic drug market with its nonprofit model. The company announced plans in early 2022 to manufacture and launch insulin at no more than $30 per vial.
Here’s a snapshot of what users of the social media platform are saying:
On Reddit, there has also been celebration. However, there is also scepticism about how the price decrease will affect future legislation and whether Lilly may roll back prices in the future. Quotes from a discussion thread on Reddit include:
“Not a bad development but easy to see how it can be a tool to ward off additional legislation and be easily reversed by some executive who needs a quick fix to protect growth targets in a year or so.”
“Rather than stating the company name like they are the good guys; ‘Company does the right thing only after being forced’ is a better description. They could have capped the cost decades ago.”
“I think it’s so they can try to dissuade Congress from passing any legislation under the guise of ‘See, The Industry Is Regulating Itself!’ Keep in mind, Eli Lilly can reverse course on this price change at a moment’s notice as long as Congress doesn’t put limits on them. There is nothing binding about this move.”
“One of the competitors is now the State of California. Another is Mark Cuban's Cost Plus, which promises to its customers that their prices are the cost to manufacture plus 15% gross profit.
That’s the real reason why they cut the price in the first place, they now have competition that they didn’t have before.”
What’s your view on the move? It would be fantastic to hear the views of seasoned industry experts on the matter. Drop me a line at [email protected].

What If They Gave A Peace Demonstration and Nobody Came
That doesn't look like a problem this time, provided there's plenty of Viagra. Coming from the San Francisco lunatic fringe: Orgasms for peace
.Two peace activists have planned a massive anti-war demonstration for the first day of winter.
But they don't want you marching in the streets. They'd much rather you just stay home.
The Global Orgasm for Peace was conceived by Donna Sheehan, 76, and Paul Reffell, 55, whose immodest goal is for everyone in the world to have an orgasm Dec. 22 while focusing on world peace.
"The orgasm gives out an incredible feeling of peace during it and after it," Reffell said Sunday. "Your mind is like a blank. It's like a meditative state. And mass meditations have been shown to make a change."
The couple are no strangers to sex and social activism. Sheehan, no relation to anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, brought together nearly 50 women in 2002 who stripped naked and spelled out the word "Peace."
If you're looking for a good reason why the peace movement has not taken off, you could start with 76-year-old women getting naked. As for the "Big O for Peace", I'm up for it, but I got a hunch that Meg Ryan's going to be faking it.

As the seasons change, so do we...
Well, folks, I've been talking about yet for a couple months now, but I suppose it's time to make an official announcement:
JFS has had the honor of playing with one of the most talented people I have ever met for the last couple years. Ed Croft is an absolute monster on the bass, a great singer, and an all around great guy. Ed helped us build what we do now. Over the course of our couple years together, through many ups and downs, a few breakdowns, and everything in between, Ed has become a treasure to me.
The time has come for Ed to move on and I couldn't be more proud of him. Ed has taken a job in Buffalo with the company People, Inc. Ed's new task is to help adults and children with special needs gain life skills. His main client is a 25 year old man on the Autism spectrum who is on his way to becoming a professional musician. Ed will be helping him learn the ropes of the business and going on gigs with him, etc. This is a cause that is very close to my heart. One day, if it's necessary, I hope a person like Ed will help my nephew with these very same things.
It has been a joy to work with Mr. Croft. His presence in my life has enabled me to live my dream for the last couple years. We will all miss him dearly, but we are ALL very proud to have had him in our family and proud of what he is going off to do with his life. Don't worry, it won't be the last time you see JFS with Ed, his schedule will permit him to do some shows this fall and he may even be around for a couple festivals next year. I have a feeling I will be making music with Ed for a long time...at least I hope I will.
We are also thrilled to announce that for the rest of the season, Dave Brumberg of The Brummy Brothers will be joining us! Dave has been kind enough to offer up his services for the next couple months, and we look forward to seeing what he brings to the table! You can see his first show this Friday at The MoonShadow Cafe, Accident, MD at 8pm.
Thanks, Ed. We love you and we are very proud of you and honored to be your friend. We know you will make a positive impact on the lives of the people you are helping from our own experiences with you. Thank you for bringing so much love of music to the world. I will miss you, man.
With that said, we are stoked to be bringing Mr. Brumberg out for some awesome shows:
Friday, 9/9: The MoonShadow Café, Accident, MD. 8pm
Saturday, 9/10: Winder Bluegrass in the Park. Windber, PA. 5pm
Sunday, 9/11: The Northern Appalachian Folk Festival, Indiana, PA. 1:30pm

Title : A COLIFORM BACTERIA SURVEY OF MONTEREY BAY OFF DEL MONTE BEACH.
Descriptive Note : Master's thesis,
Corporate Author : NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA
Personal Author(s) : Trumbauer, David Sidney
Report Date : OCT 1966
Pagination or Media Count : 54
Abstract : Determination of the distribution of coliform bacteria in the vicinity of the outfall effluent of the Monterey Water Pollution Control Plant was made using the membrane filter technique for enumeration. The coliforms were seen to follow the onshore mass transport of water in the surface layer in response to predominately westerly winds. The extent of penetration of coliforms into the bay north of the outfall is restricted to several hundred yards, while more extensive spreading was observed towards the surf zone. No consistent pattern of variation of the coliform distribution would be related to the tidal cycle. Higher concentrations of coliform bacteria on several occasions seemed to be related to reduced periods of solar radiation. (Author)

During the Venetian occupation (1204 - 1669), the need for the closer presence of Venetian navy in Crete obliged Venice to construct the "Neoria" (arsenal), a dockyard where the ships would be maintained during the winter. In 1467, Venice ordered the construction of a number of "Neoria", two per city (Chania and Rethymno). The construction of the first two "Neoria" in Chania was completed in 1526. In 1593, sixteen "Neoria" had been constructed. In 1599, the south "Neoria" complex was completed with the construction of the 17th "Neorio". In 1607, at the same time when the northeast rampart was extended, the construction of 5 more "Neoria" at the heart of the port begins, which are commonly known as "the Neoria of Moro", named after the General Intendant who suggested their construction. Two of the five "Neoria" were completed, and walls were also constructed.
The History of Crete, the Southest piece of land of Europe continent, encompasses the ancient Minoan civilization. After this civilization was destroyed by natural catastrophes, Crete developed an Ancient Greece influenced organazition of city states, and then successinely became part of the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Venetian Republic, and the Ottoman Empire. Modern Crete embraces all western habits and faculties with in a multilayered-multicultured attitude due its history. It's mostly touristic without loosing its traditional nature. Visitors can choose from five stars luxury hotels to traditional villas and from hidden tracks, picturesque beaches to dancing clubs, bars and wild night life. Everyone can find his choise in Crete.

Study Suggests Intensifying Chemotherapy Improves Outcomes for Women With Early-Stage Disease
Dose-intensified chemotherapy regimens seem to decrease the risk of recurrence as well as the risk of dying from breast cancer in women diagnosed with early-stage disease.
Many women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer with a high risk of recurrence (the cancer coming back) get chemotherapy after surgery to reduce the risk of recurrence. In some cases, the dose intensity of the chemotherapy may be increased.
The dose intensity of chemotherapy can be increased by:
- giving more medicine in each dose
- shortening the length of time between cycles; so, you get chemotherapy every 2 weeks instead of the standard schedule of every 3 weeks
- giving medicines one after the other (sequentially), rather than at the same time (concurrently), so a higher dose of each medicine can be given
Dose-intensified chemotherapy regimens are used more often in the United States than they are in Europe.
A study suggests that dose-intensified chemotherapy regimens decrease the risk of recurrence as well as the risk of dying from breast cancer in women diagnosed with early-stage disease.
The research was presented on Dec. 6, 2017 at the 2017 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. Read the abstract of “Increasing the dose density of adjuvant chemotherapy by shortening intervals between courses or by sequential drug administration significantly reduces both disease recurrence and breast cancer mortality: An EBCTCG meta-analysis of 21,000 women in 16 randomised trials.”
This study was a meta-analysis. A meta-analysis is a study that combines and analyzes the results of many earlier studies. In this case, the results from 21,537 women from 16 studies were analyzed. All the women had been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer.
In this analysis, the chemotherapy doses were intensified in two ways:
- 7 studies compared chemotherapy given every 2 weeks to chemotherapy given every 3 weeks (10,004 women)
- 9 studies compared sequential chemotherapy to concurrent chemotherapy (11,533 women)
Compared to women who received chemotherapy every 3 weeks, women who received chemotherapy every 2 weeks were:
- 17% less likely to have a recurrence
- 15% less likely to die from breast cancer
10 years after diagnosis.
Compared to women who received concurrent chemotherapy, women who received sequential chemotherapy were:
- 14% less like to have a recurrence
- 13% less likely to die from breast cancer
10 years after diagnosis.
“We were surprised by how strong and consistent the findings from our study were,” said Richard Gray, professor of medical statistics at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, who presented the research. “The results apply to most women receiving chemotherapy for early-stage breast cancer: the 15% reduction in recurrence with dose-intense chemotherapy across all trials was similar in estrogen-receptor-positive and in estrogen-receptor-negative disease, and did not differ significantly by any other patient or tumor characteristics, including age, HER2 status, nodal status, tumor size, and grade.”
Like almost all cancer treatments, chemotherapy can cause side effects, some of them severe. Common chemotherapy side effects include low red blood cell counts, which can cause anemia, and low white blood cell counts, which can lead to infection. Because dose-intense chemotherapy is more intense, some researchers have worried that the side effects would be more intense/severe.
In this analysis, the researchers found that as long as women on intense-dose chemotherapy regimens were given appropriate support medicines, such as:
- granulocyte colony stimulating factors, such as Neupogen (chemical name: filgrastim) or Neulasta (chemical name: pegfilgrastim), which helps the body make more white blood cells
- erythropoiesis stimulating factors such as Epogen (chemical name: epoetin alfa), Aranesp (chemical name: darbepoetin alfa), and Procrit (chemical name: epoetin alfa), which helps the body make more red blood cells; Note: these medications are no longer given after surgery because of safety concerns.
their side effects were not substantially more severe.
“Some centers prefer giving chemotherapy every 3 weeks and offer treatment every 2 weeks less frequently because of concerns about side effects and uncertainty about the additional benefit. Looking at the data from large numbers of women receiving dose-intense chemotherapy, we have found no evidence to justify these concerns, and the results show consistent benefit from the more intense treatments,” Gray concluded.
If you’ve been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer that has a high risk of recurrence, it’s likely that chemotherapy will be part of your treatment plan. This and other studies suggest that an intense-dose chemotherapy regimen may offer more benefits than a standard regimen. After you consider all the characteristics of the cancer, as well as your unique situation and preferences, you and your doctor can make the best choices for you.
