The citric acid cycle is also known as the Krebs cycle or the tricarboxylic acid cycle. It is a series of reactions in a closed loop that are fundamental for cellular respiration. The citric acid cycle produces the high-energy molecule ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and byproducts that also form ATP in a further process called oxidative phosphorylation.

Regulation of the citric acid cycle is important as reactions that are unchecked will lead to large amounts of wasted metabolic energy. The ability to regulate the cycle keeps the cell in a stable state, and this function is maintained by three mechanisms:
- The availability of substrates.
- Inhibition of the products formed.
- Inhibition of enzymes through allosteric feedback.
Regulation of acetyl CoA
The citric acid cycle begins with the reaction that combines the two-carbon acetyl CoA with a four-carbon oxaloacetic acid to produce the six-carbon molecule citrate. Acetyl-CoA is regulated by the controlled amounts of pyruvate that is converted into acetyl-CoA in the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex reaction.
Metabolite flow is allosterically inhibited, where an enzyme is regulated by binding an effector molecule to a non-active site. The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex reaction is allosterically inhibited when there are high ratios of ATP to ADP, NADH to NAD+ and acetyl-CoA to CoA. Allosteric activation occurs when the ratio volumes decrease.
Regulation of enzymes in the citric acid cycle
Three reactions of the cycle are catalyzed respectively by the enzymes:
- Citrate synthase.
- Isocitrate dehydrogenase.
- α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase
Citrate synthase is responsible for the rate of reaction in the first step of the cycle when the acetyl-CoA is combined with oxaloacetic acid to form citrate. It is inhibited by high concentrations of ATP, acetyl-CoA, and NADH which indicates an already high level of energy supply. The molecule produced in the reaction, citrate, can also act as an inhibitor of the reaction.
Because citrate synthase is inhibited by the final product of the citric acid cycle as ATP, ADP (adenosine diphosphate) works as an allosteric activator of the enzyme as ATP is formed from ADP. Therefore, the rate of the cycle is reduced when the cell has a high level of ATP.
The enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase is an important catalyst in the third step of the reaction. It regulates the speed at which the citrate isomer isocitrate loses a carbon to form the five-carbon molecule α-ketoglutarate. The coenzyme NADH is a product of the reaction and, at high levels, acts as an inhibitor by directly displacing the NAD+ molecules it is formed from.
The enzyme α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase is another important catalyst in the fourth step of the cycle where α-ketoglutarate also loses a carbon and combines with Coenzyme A to form succinyl CoA. The two products of the reaction, succinyl CoA and NADH, both work as inhibitors at large concentrations.
Calcium as a regulator of the citric acid cycle
Calcium is also an important regulator of the citric acid cycle; an increase in concentrations of both ADP and calcium ions (Ca2+) are a consequence of changes in cellular activity. Therefore, the signal that stimulates muscle contraction is also activating the production of the ATP which sustains it, through the citric acid cycle. Calcium ions regulate the citric acid cycle by activating pyruvate dehydrogenase, the first component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex reaction that forms acetyl-CoA. Calcium ions also activate the enzymes, isocitrate dehydrogenase and α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase which catalyze the third and fourth steps of the cycle respectively. The activation of these enzymes, via calcium ions, increases the rate of separate reactions within the cycle and therefore increases product production for the whole cycle.

Marathi film industry is ready to take a bold leap as the Marathi actress Sai Tamhankar sizzles in kissing and lovemaking scenes in her forthcoming film Pune 52.
The film industry, which has been acknowledged world over for its superlative content, sharp storytelling and slick presentation, is ironically still shackled with the ���������conservative��������� tag. Attempts have been made by various directors to deviate into mature arenas many a time, yet the label has blithely stayed on! But, this tag may soon become history with the release of Pune 52
, a film that is being touted as the boldest Marathi film ever, which is said to have many kissing scenes as well as some red hot bedroom scenes. Saying boo to taboos
Actress Sai Tamhankar, who is known for her bold portrayals in films like No Entry Pudhe Dhoka Aahey
and her latest release Balak Palak
with Riteish Deshmukh (based on sex education), is playing the main lead in her forthcoming film along with National Award winning actor Girish Kulkarni and Sonali Kulkarni
. Ask the young actress, if she has decided to set new benchmarks of boldness, and she says rather serenely: ���������I would say that I experiment more than anybody else, so I���������m bold creatively too. Now, in real life don���������t you kiss your partner? But in our Marathi film industry, showing this onscreen is considered a taboo, a big no-no. But trust me, after doing all those bold roles, I completely forgot about them because the intensity of film kept me intrigued! It���������s my boldest Marathi film till date, which makes me proud!��������� It���������s time we broke out of rural mould
Ask Nikhil Mahajan, the debut writer-director, if he is ready to face the ire of the traditional Maharashtrian society, and he says: ���������Somebody has to take a call and be bold in a mature way, while portraying the newage urban relationships. Honestly, when I was studying in the engineering college, I didn���������t watch the Marathi films because I couldn���������t relate to them. It���������s high time we broke out of the rural mould in our films and addressed the vast majority of youngsters, whose issues have been neglected till now! Of course, it is a risk to show bedroom scenes and smooches in a film, and it is possible that I may face flak, but then there are also chances that the audiences may just lap it up! It is time we gave that choice to the audiences!��������� PVR Director���������s Rare (honour)
The fact is that Pune 52
, which will be released on January 18, has already created a lot of buzz. The film, which has made it to the PVR Director���������s Rare, is the first Marathi film, to have this unique honour! With so much going for it, audiences are really looking forward to this hot and happening offering from the makers of Deool and Harischandrachi Factory!

What is the difference between sports massage and deep tissue?
Firstly, it’s easier to talk about the similarities because sports massage and deep tissue use similar strokes, including kneading, circular movements, tapping and vibrations. Sports massage uses similar methods of manipulating the skin, but is more focused on sports-related areas of pain.
Massage is an integral part of the new athletic regimen, but what’s important is that you get the right massage for your needs rather than specifically being hung up on booking a sports massage. Essential Feeling are highly qualified in a number of techniques that they’ll combine to design a specific programme that enhances your performance by looking at your needs as an individual.
The muscle system is a key part of a quality massage therapist’s training and so they understand what’s the right bodywork for your physical issues and personal goals.
Sports massage is a category of massage therapy that applies deep tissue techniques and soft tissue release, meaning that it uses deep pressure to break down your sticky muscle fibres so they can reheal.
Sports massage simply works on your problem areas. Deep tissue massage concentrates on the area and those surrounding it because it treats your body as a complete entity where one muscle connects to the next.
As Essential Feeling offers a wide range of massage services, and we charge by the hour, rather than the type of massage, you don’t need to get hung up on the different styles. When you come to us, you’ll know that you will receive a massage that will sort out your issues.

Questions & Answers
What do they do in a sports massage?
Sports massage therapist will use techniques associated with deep tissue work and tie this in with their understanding of the science of sports massage in order to
target muscle release and will help improve your flexibility, reduce pain and increase your range of motion.
It’s important to understand that any massage which deals with muscles and injuries isn’t a spa session. We’re going to expect you to move around and interact with your massage therapist so that we can get the most out of your session.
What sports is this good for?
Any athletes can benefit from a good massage. Runners, cyclists (triathletes), boxers and gym bunnies are all part of our client base, but honestly, if you’re exercising, you should incorporate massage into your schedule to maintain your wellness.
Do I need a sports massage?
If you’re active people, even if you don’t consider yourself an athlete, then a massage is a great idea, however the type very much depends on where you are within your training cycle. We’d always recommend incorporating a massage into your training schedule because it helps you to heal, train harder, and prevent injury.
If you’re completely new to massage, then don’t expect to have any deep tissue work down any closer to a big event than a few weeks.
That doesn’t mean that you can’t benefit from a pre-race rubdown in the seven to two-day window prior to an event, but the pressure will vary.
If you have a massage within 48 hours of your event, then you risk going into it feeling sore. After your event, you can have a massage anything from a few hours post to 48 hours to speed up your muscle recovery.
We can use different massage techniques throughout your season, for example, you could have one style in your season recovery stage, and another in the middle of your training programme to improve your performance.
How should I prepare for my massage?
If you can come on an empty stomach, it will be better. Not only will you be lying face down during your massage, which can be uncomfortable, but also because a massage will slow down your system, including your digestive system, so eating a heavy meal will be uncomfortable.
Also, it’s not recommended to have deep tissue therapy work and then head off to the gym. Let your muscles relax until at least the next day. So schedule your massage when that works out for you.
How long should I book?
This depends on what you need to be done. A one hour massage session is long enough to cover off one area, so if you’re a runner, then we will do your legs. However, have a think about the rest of your body too because when you run, sure your legs are tight, but also you’ll be suffering with tight shoulders, neck, arms and back from where you unwittingly tense during your training.
How will I feel after?
You’ll more than likely feel sore, particularly after your first few trips. However, this doesn’t mean that you need to panic, it’s normal and can even indicate areas that your massage therapist should work on in future. The pain will lift within a few days and after that you’ll often feel like you’re in a new body!
Definition of sports massage is that it’s administered by a trained massage therapist, not a doctor. If you have an injury and you’ve not yet been diagnosed, we’d always recommend taking a trip to your GP.
Want an appointment today?
If you would like to book a last-minute appointment, please text us on 07757 946023 and we’ll try our best to sort something out within 24 hours.

© 2013 CIMNE (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya). The incremental dynamic analysis is a powerful tool for evaluating the seismic vulnerability and risk of buildings. It allows calculating the global damage of structures for different peak ground accelerations, PGA, and representing this result by means of damage curves. Such curves are currently used to obtain seismic risk scenarios at urban level. Even if the application of this method in a probabilistic environment requires a relevant computational effort, this has to be the reference method for determining those curves. Nevertheless, it would be of high practical interest to have a simpler method based, for instance, on pushover analysis, for assessing the seismic vulnerability and risk of buildings, which allows obtaining results similar to those based on the incremental dynamic analysis. Referring to the capacity-spectrum-based-methods, expert opinions have been used in previous researches for defining damage states thresholds starting from the yielding and the ultimate spectral displacement identified in the bilinear capacity spectrum. Therefore, we propose in this article a new procedure for defining the damage states thresholds, based on the stiffness degradation of reinforced concrete building, and a fully probabilistic approach is tackled by means of Monte Carlo simulations. It is demonstrated in the paper that the obtained results are in good agreement with those calculated using the incremental dynamic analysis.

There are several foods that dogs should not eat and that we humans insist on giving our animals, most often unconsciously, about the risks that may occur.
Dogs should not follow the same diet as humans since most foods cause them intoxication and, in extreme cases, lead to death. Therefore, it is imperative to alert pet owners to a healthy diet, which should not extend far beyond dog food.
Get to know the nine foods present in human food that you should not give your dog at any time. You will be putting your dog’s health at risk by doing so.
Onion and garlic
Onion and garlic are well present in the human diet, and when there is leftover food, it is usually up to the dogs to eat it. These foods contain thiosulfate, composed of sulfur and oxygen. They should not be consumed by dogs, as it causes red blood cells to oxidize, contributing to the development of hemolytic anemia. Avoid giving your dog onions or garlic, even in small amounts.
Although the cause of severe reactions in dogs to grapes is unknown, this food causes severe intoxication in the animal, which should be avoided by the owner giving the food to the dog, even in small doses.
Just like humans, dogs need sugar. The sugar present in dog food is more than enough for the dog’s diet, so avoid giving it extra sugar. Offering extra sugar can have several consequences for the animal’s health, such as weight gain and dysregulation of blood glucose, leading to the onset of diabetes.
Plums, peaches, persimmons, and other stone fruits
The seeds and seeds of fruits contain cyanide, a toxic substance to dogs’ health, which can cause inflammation of the small intestine and intestinal obstruction in the dog. Dogs can eat these fruits, but never with the pits or seeds. So, if you want to protect your pet’s health, always remove the seeds from the fruit before giving them to your dog to eat.
Since the bones can be sharp, ingesting this food can lead to internal injuries and even perforate specific organs in the dog, such as the esophagus. In addition to the damage it can cause internally, bones can contain highly harmful bacteria to the animal’s health.
Coffee, tea, and other caffeinated beverages
Caffeinated foods are hazardous for dogs, especially nervous, urinary, and cardiac systems. Why? Because it causes poisoning in the animal, causing it to show symptoms such as trembling, vomiting, or hyperactivity. It speeds up the animal’s heartbeat in extreme cases, making it more breathless.
Chocolate and Cocoa
Chocolate and cocoa, because of having caffeine and theobromine in their composition, cause intoxication in dogs. When dogs consume chocolate or cocoa show symptoms such as tremors, vomiting, or hyperactivity, it speeds up the animal’s heartbeat in extreme cases, making it more breathless.
Milk and derivatives
As dogs enter adulthood, the lactase enzyme, which is responsible for directing lactose, decreases in the body, causing dogs to become lactose intolerant.
Did your dog eat any of these foods?
If your answer is yes and your dog has symptoms, act quickly and immediately take him to your veterinarian.
Protect your dog!

Numerous online sites give superb exhortation about pet grooming care. Finding out about pet grooming care online encourages you decide whether your pet has a clinical issue or something less genuine. New pet proprietors find out about appropriate grooming care and what the pet or little cats needs to grow up healthy and more grounded while carrying on with a glad life. A portion of these locales really have veterinarians that offer free guidance to the pet proprietor. Pet grooming care online tips are help with questions like what to take care of your little pet or pet what sort of litter to utilize and clinical inquiries. Different destinations without veterinarians gracefully articles, questions and replies about cats and types of cats. Any inquiry you may have about cats can be found on the web. In the event that you have to locate a certified vet, check on the web and discover one that shows up locally in your general vicinity.
There are cats with long hair, short hair and no hair. A few varieties are more powerless to clinical issues than others are and some do not coexist with different creatures. You may require a pet that presents to a lesser degree a possibility for you or your family being oversensitive to the pet dander or hair. Checking for explicit variety data gets the ideal pet for your family partner. Pet grooming care online advantages the pet proprietor by offering legitimate consideration directions and what toys and bites help with a cat’s turn of events and grooming needs. A few locales offer home solutions for disposing of insects and different parasites alongside solutions for anticipation of parasites. The requirement for data has prompted the number of inhabitants in pet grooming care online sites as individuals prop the need up for data.
Despite the fact that you can discover all the appropriate responses, you need about pet grooming care on the web; your pet despite everything needs standard checkups for shots and generally speaking grooming checks. This incorporates blood test; feces test tests and respiratory checks. These tests appear if something is not right with the pet so early medicines can shield the pet from further grooming conditions. On the off chance that you presume your pet has an ailment, you might need to discover on the web if there are any approaches to treat the Dog grooming Coconut Grove condition yourself that fixes the pet may spare you some time and cash. In the event that you have questions that need answers, the vet is consistently a decent wellspring of data, yet on the off chance that you could discover the appropriate responses yourself you may learn more top to bottom data than what a vet would give you.

Margaret: For a long time, we’ve heard the same advice about how to lose weight — eat less, exercise more. In author, Jonathan Bailor’s bestselling book, The Calorie Myth, he argues that you can actually eat more and exercise less simply by focusing on the types of food and calories we eat, not the numbers involved. Here with us is nutrition and exercise expert, Jonathan Bailor. It’s great to see you again. How are you doing?
Jonathan: Thank you for having me.
Margaret: So let’s talk, first of all, about the very title of the book. What is the calorie myth?
Jonathan: The calorie myth is this idea that counting calories is the key to long-term wellness. That is absolutely a myth and, in fact, it’s part of the cause of the obesity epidemic.
Margaret: And why is that?
Jonathan: Calories don’t give us a full picture of what we’re eating. In fact, they just give us a very limited and inaccurate picture of what we’re eating. We need to look at the quality of food we’re consuming; not the quantity of calories.
Margaret: Okay. And I remember wondering about this when I was a little kid — Is a calorie a calorie? Like, if I ate 2,000 calories’ worth of cane sugar or 2,000 calories’ worth of salmon, would it come out the same way? And the answer is no, because they behave differently in our bodies. So how is it we figure out what we should be eating?
Jonathan: We can use a very simple acronym that I call SANE. We look at the satiety, aggression, nutrition, and efficiency of calories.
Margaret: That sounds pretty fierce. What does that mean?
Jonathan: It’s very, very simple. We want to look at foods that are found directly in nature, foods that are high in water, fiber, and protein. So think non-starchy vegetables, nutritious proteins, and whole food fats like nuts and seeds.
Margaret: What about salted caramel? Is that found in nature? Just checking.
Jonathan: It is on this lovely island I’ve recently discovered.
Margaret: Oh, really? The island of denial?
Margaret: Okay, so that’s one way of looking at it — the natural foods. What should we be looking at in terms of other qualities? Like, we hear so much about good carbs, bad carbs; good fats, bad fats. What are we talking about?
Jonathan: Focus on nature versus not in nature, rather than good versus bad. For example, do you find bread bushes in nature?
Margaret: Not as much as I’d like.
Jonathan: Not as much as we’d like but we do find fruits and vegetables, which are carbs, in nature. So focus on nature first, or natural versus non-natural versus these arbitrary good versus bad labels.
Margaret: Okay, that sounds like that’s actually pretty easy. We can do that. Now, non-SANE foods — things that we should just — many say no to because they may taste good but are like literally killing us.
Jonathan: Think predominantly refined starches and sweets — these are the things that didn’t even exist in our food supply prior to the obesity epidemic and if you trace their presence in any culture, they are what caused the obesity and diabetes epidemics.
Margaret: So give me some examples.
Jonathan: Soda, candy, cake, pie — those types of things.
Margaret: Ho Hos — those types of things? Yes, they would count. All right, that’s good because that actually is something you can think about while you’re shopping. Is this food found in nature? You don’t have to be a scientist to figure that out and make some good decisions about that. Now, the other thing that’s sort of come up a lot lately that I find personally confusing is this whole idea of wheat, gluten, etc. What I’ve heard argued is the wheat that we’re eating is so different from the wheat that our ancestors ate that it’s actually made bread and things that seem like it should be fine for you unhealthy. Is that true?
Jonathan: That’s exactly right. There was actually a Nobel Prize awarded for the creation of the genetically-modified wheat that we’re eating today so it was brilliant in terms of creating an abundant supply of calories.
Jonathan: But they’re, sadly, very unhealthy and dangerous calories so the wheat that we’re eating today is not at all similar to the wheat that was consumed in biblical times or even before that.
Margaret: Okay. And while we’re talking about genetically-modified foods, GMOs in general, I see a lot of products now that say non-GMO. Why is that important to choose or do you think it is important to choose those products?
Jonathan: I think it is important to choose those products if you have the opportunity to. Many people in this country do have the opportunity to choose non-GMO so let’s go that way simply because we don’t know what GMO does. We have no long-term studies. We do know what non-GMO does because it’s kept us healthy and fit for generations.
Margaret: Right. And when we say healthy and fit, if you are — let’s say, you’re eating more because now you’re eating a lot of broccoli and fruit and nuts and salmon instead of Ho Hos or salted caramels, you can actually eat more because those foods have fewer calories in them in part?
Jonathan: You can eat more because I want you to crowd out those other foods.
Jonathan: So that’s such a different mindset, though. Thinking, I’m going to eat 1,200 calories of Ho Hos and Ding Dongs, is a much different mindset than, I’m going to try to eat so much nutritious, whole, healing, yummy food that I’m too full for all that nonsense. It’s focusing on abundance rather than deprivation and that makes all the difference in the world.
Margaret: Now, in terms of cooking, let’s say, a piece of salmon, vegetables, is it partly that we don’t know how to cook things or spice things, season things, make them more flavorful because it’s like our taste buds have been screwed up by things that are so sweet and salty and tasty that you get to a normal food and it doesn’t taste like enough for our taste buds?
Jonathan: You hit the nail on the head. We’ve really lost sight of food and cooking in general. If we define food as things found in nature and then things that need to be chopped and cooked and refrigerated and frozen and then we look at what we typically put into our mouths, wow, have we changed what we’re doing in the past forty years. So should we be shocked that we’re getting radically different results in terms of our health?
Margaret: And in terms of people’s health long-term — kids, the whole thing — I love the book. I didn’t understand all the science but I get the point. Please check our website to learn more about Jonathan’s SANE Solution Weight Loss Program. It really works. The Calorie Myth is available in paperback now and the best part is, everybody in our studio audience is going home with a copy of this book. We’ll be back in a minute. Thank you so much.
Jonathan: Thank you so much.

Why do we love the wrong people?
You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
I heard a quote very early on in my life from my mother that I have always gone back to.
“Just because you love someone, does not mean you can be with them.”
Sometimes you meet people that you probably shouldn’t love, because they are ‘jerks’. Nevertheless, you should always show people love and compassion, no matter how much of an asshole someone can be. Sometimes you aren’t so pleasant to be around yourself. Everyone has their good and bad moments; their ups and downs. Learn to accept people for exactly who they are. The point of life is not about getting, its about giving. The universe has already given you life. Now, you owe everything to the universe, including all the life in it. Change your mind to change your life.
@peacefulmotivators, Ok, so occasionally you feel like a bad person. Perhaps realize you’ve done or said something wrong. Happens to everybody. The key is to work towards becoming a better person and wanting to do better next time :-) Cheers!

The timing of taxable income and deductions for federal income tax purposes is relatively straightforward. Generally, income is taxable in the year it is earned and received. Likewise, deductible expenses incurred and paid this year can offset taxable income on this year’s return. The Internal Revenue Code is riddled with exceptions, but these basic rules usually apply, especially for calendar-year taxpayers.
The tax law also includes several provisions commonly referred to as “carrybacks” and “carryforwards” (or “carryovers”). As their names imply, the tax item can be carried back to a prior year or carried forward to a succeeding year.
Two items that are often carried forward by individuals are capital losses and excess charitable deductions. For instance, capital losses realized in 2012 offset capital gains plus up to $3,000 of ordinary income for the year. If you have an excess capital loss of $10,000, you can carry forward $7,000 to 2013 after offsetting $3,000 of ordinary income in 2012.
Similarly, your current deduction for charitable donations may be limited by one or more percentage thresholds in the law. For example, donations of appreciated property are generally limited to 30% of your adjusted gross income (AGI). If you exceed the 30%-of-AGI limit this year, you may carry over the excess for up to five years.
Carrybacks aren’t as common, but may also be available in certain situations. Take a “net operating loss” (NOL) sustained by your small business. If you have an NOL in 2012, you can carry back the loss for two years. Thus, you’re effectively able to reduce your tax liability for one or two of the previous years for a refund of taxes already paid. Then you can carry forward any remaining NOL for up to 20 years. If it suits your purposes, you can elect to waive the NOL carryback. For more information on carrybacks and carryforwards, give us a call. We can help you make the best tax return choices for your situation.
You only have to examine your paycheck to realize certain income is tax-free. For example, health insurance premiums paid by your employer are generally not includible in your income.
Do you know the tax status of other types of income? Here’s a short quiz to test your knowledge.
You tell your son he’ll be the sole beneficiary of your estate, and that you’ve decided to give him an advance on his inheritance. You hand him a check for $10,000. He wants to know how much he’ll have to pay in taxes. What do you tell him?
Answer: Gifts, bequests, devises, and inheritances are generally not taxable to the beneficiary. Income produced from those sources is taxable to the beneficiary.
You withdraw $20,000 of the contributions you made to your Roth IRA over the past five years, but you’re not of retirement age. Do you have a taxable event?
Answer: Unlike traditional IRAs, distributions from Roths are first allocated to amounts you contributed to the account. To the extent the distribution is a return of your contributions, it’s not included in your income and you can withdraw it penalty- and tax-free.
Health care legislation passed in 2010 included a tax credit for small businesses that provide health care coverage for their employees. Recent surveys have shown that the majority of small companies that might qualify for the credit have failed to take it. The reasons given for ignoring the credit ranged from being unaware of it to finding the credit too complicated to compute.
* Take another look. If your business or nonprofit organization might be eligible, perhaps you should take another look at the requirements and be sure you’re taking advantage of this tax break.
If you qualify, you can use this tax credit to offset your federal income tax liability by up to 35% of the cost of health insurance premiums you pay for employees. Since this is a tax credit, not a deduction, it will reduce your tax bill dollar-for-dollar.
* The basic requirements. In general, the credit is available to employers that have fewer than 25 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees paying average annual wages of less than $50,000 per employee. Eligibility is based partially on FTEs, not the number of employees; therefore, an employer with fewer than 50 half-time workers could qualify for the credit.
The maximum credit goes to those employers with ten or fewer employees who pay annual average wages of $25,000 or less.
When you’re self-employed, either as a partner or a sole proprietor, or if you own more than 2% of an S corporation, you’re not considered an employee for purposes of the credit.
Tax-exempt organizations can use the credit to offset payroll tax liability (up to 25% of qualified premiums paid).

A Dutch oven is the true workhorse of any kitchen. These bad boys can make pots of soup or stew, sauté vegetables, braise meat, and even bake a loaf of crusty bread. If your kitchen only has room for one large pot, it should be a Dutch oven. But how do you choose which one? Not only do they range in price from $80 to $420, they range in quality too.
While most of them follow the same basic design—a deep, cast iron pot coated in nonstick enamel—the shape and construction make a huge difference in cooking experience. That’s why we tested the top Dutch ovens on the market. And, after putting each through its paces, concluded that the Made In Dutch Oven
(available at Made In)
is the one we want in our kitchens and would recommend to friends. If you're in the market for an affordable option, the Lodge 6-Quart Round Dutch Oven (available at Amazon) is our Best Value pick.
Made In Dutch Oven
There's a lot to love about Made In's Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven—enough to steal the top slot from previous winner, the Staub Cast Iron Round Cocotte.
During testing, the Made In blew us away with its nonstick qualities, even heat distribution, and moisture retention (thanks to the divots under the lid). Chicken soup was flavorful, bread was evenly cooked, and meat was pleasantly browned without ever sticking. The pot also cooked a whole chicken beautifully, browning it evenly without getting it dry.
After all that cooking, the Made In didn't show any signs of damage or deterioration, and cleaning even caked-on foods was a breeze.
We also love that it took a lot for these handles to get hot—and when they did, it was still easy to move the pot from the oven to the stovetop (with pot holders or dish towels) thanks to the handles' roomy design.
Even with all this impressive functionality, this Dutch oven comes in at a fraction of the cost of many competitors. But it's still made with the iconic hand-enameled cast iron that hails from its homeland of northeast France. And—bonus points—it comes in a variety of beautiful colors.
Le Creuset's 5.5 quart round Dutch oven is our pick for best upgrade.
Le Creuset 5.5-Quart Round Dutch Oven
Unsurprisingly, the iconic Le Creuset—beloved among cooks and kitchen scholars—aced every test we threw at it. And if you're willing to spend an upfront investment, it will likely last you years—maybe decades—to come.
This Dutch oven makes a perfect meal every time. It also offers large handles, which are ideal for moving the pot from the stove to the oven and back, from your stove to the table, or from your house to your friend’s place.
And while its size means it's roomy enough to cook for guests, it also means that if you’re dealing with tight stove space, you might run into some problems. This Dutch oven is gorgeous and produces consistently delicious food, but its size means it'll always need to be the star of the show.
The Lodge 4.6-Quart Round Dutch Oven is our Best Value pick.
Lodge Enameled Cast Iron 6-Quart Dutch Oven
A serious competitor to both Staub and Le Creuset at a fraction of the cost, the Lodge Dutch oven impressed us again with its durability and versatility. In almost every test, the colorful Lodge was with the top of the pack. However, its base is narrower than the others, resulting in crowding for certain recipes like braised short ribs.
It's also lacking the self-basting divots that came in so handy on our top picks. But at this price point, this colorful model is absolutely still deserving of the Best Value title.
The HexClad Dutch oven is the best non-cast iron option on the market.
HexClad 5-Quart Dutch Oven
HexClad's Dutch oven isn't made of cast iron, which makes it the most lightweight pot on this list at just over three pounds. (For context, our winning Dutch oven weighs in at over 13.) Instead, it's made with HexClad's signature hybrid design that features a nonstick surface, magnetic steel base, aluminum core, and stainless steel surface.
Although this Dutch oven isn't traditionally designed, it performed well in all of our tests. Short ribs browned quickly and evenly, chicken soup was incredibly flavorful, and bread even came out with a pleasantly browned crust and springy interior.
A huge plus to this pot is obviously its lightweight build—which made transferring from cooktop to oven (and from oven to table) a breeze. The handles and tight-fitting lid are also fantastic; they stayed cool even when soup had been simmering for hours. And the lid is designed to trap steam and avoid drippy messes when being removed. (Plus, it's dishwasher safe!)
But a lightweight build means typical cast iron features might be missed. A roast chicken took longer to cook in this vessel than its cast iron competitors. And its nonstick design means no fond will build up when browning meat or aromatics, which can make for a disappointing deglazing process. Given that this pot's versatility goes beyond typical Dutch oven duties (it doubles as a regular stock pot) we think it's worth considering.
As our previous overall winner, this Staub Dutch oven is an absolute favorite for anything and everything in the kitchen. The pot has a signature glossy finish, with a smooth-fitting lid adorned with self-basting divots. These little ceramic dots help condensation from the dish drip evenly back into pot, instead of pooling at the edges of the lid and streaming down in one line after removal.
The Staub produced a deeply flavorful broth, evenly roasted chicken pieces, and the tallest sourdough loaf of the bunch. Compared to our other pots, the Staub also remained fairly clean after multiple uses, with minimal stains and spots. The inside was also nicely nonstick, so any bits and pieces were easily removed with little scrubbing.
Every meal that came out of the KitchenAid 6-quart Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven was delicious. Its nonstick and even heating capabilities were impressive, and resulting loaves of bread and pots of soup earned solidly high marks. That's partially thanks to the heavy, well-fitting lid with built-in divots, which made for extra tender short ribs and crusty, doughy bread.
Unfortunately, we ran into a few downsides. First, this Dutch oven is heavy. At over 15 pounds, we found ourselves struggling to wash it in the sink without accidentally dropping it in the process. And the handles weren't helpful: their stubby design meant they got hot quickly and were tough to grab onto.
And since this option only comes in two bright, pastel-like colors, any remnant of a stain will be pretty visible (and sometimes we struggled to scrub those off).
Caraway's Dutch Oven has the same bright and charming aesthetic that the ceramic cookware brand is known for. It also boasts those same impressive nonstick qualities: When testing this Dutch oven, a good rinse was enough to release most tacked-on foods (no scrubbing required). It also performed very well at evenly browning meat and deglazing aromatics.
However, this Dutch oven isn't made from cast iron. And while that might be a plus for its lightweight build, it also means heat retention wasn't as impressive, especially since the lid features a small hole that releases some heat and steam. As a result, our roasted chicken took much longer to cook all the way through, and our sourdough loaf was lacking those characteristic springy holes in the interior. This Dutch oven also lacks any divots in the lid, which are crucial for redispersing moisture back into food as it cooks.
AmazonBasics Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven, 6-Quart
We're pretty sure Amazon took cues from other top-performing brands in order to produce this eerily familiar model. The similarities in look to the Cuisinart were startling. That said, it didn’t perform quite as well.
From picking up mysterious black marks on the outside after cooking bread to the handles instantly becoming too hot to touch on the stove, this product could use a few more years to mature. We'd call it a solid bargain buy for someone who isn’t sure if they’re ever going to use their Dutch oven.
This Cuisinart is a solid Dutch oven. The flat sides offer a wide sautéing base for onions and garlic, and the simple construction means you can’t really go wrong. That said, it just didn’t perform as well in our tests. A few black spots on the bottom of the bread, a bit tougher to clean off the soup, and meat that wasn’t quite perfect knocked it down a few spots in our list.
The Misen Dutch oven is designed quite cleverly with a lid that doubles as a grill pan. This proved useful to sear chicken for a crisp skin before transferring it into the pot to fully roast. However, the lid also detracted from the overall score because it didn’t fit as tightly as others and made handling the pot more awkward. This was most annoying in scenarios like baking bread, where the pot is heated to 500°F so you want to be extra careful when handling.
The pot also comes with a silicone "universal lid" which is helpful in many scenarios, especially since it's also self-basting, but is less convenient to remove since it hugs the pot so tightly (watch out for escaping steam).

Vermicular is a Japanese cast-iron company specializing in beautifully made pots like this one. The Vermicular Dutch oven is quite attractive and does have the self-basting dots we like, but it also managed to stain quite severely after just one use.
Additionally, while its lid has a top knob, it also has two handles, which makes the entire pot more awkward to handle (much like the Misen).
The Great Jones 6.75-quart Dutch oven was the largest one we tested, and one of two in an oval shape (as opposed to a round). The main issue we ran into was precisely due to this—since most stovetops are circular, we found this pot to heat less evenly than the others, resulting in oddly cooked chicken and sourdough bread.
It also lacked a few key features we found useful in the other models, namely the self-basting divots, and a smoothly sealing lid. Whether it was due to the textured, matte finish of the entire pot’s outside or just a function of the pot’s grooves, the lid would make a particularly grating sound when slid on to cover the pot.
To test Dutch ovens, we made pho broth, roasted a chicken, and baked a loaf of sourdough bread.

I've tested everything from meat delivery services to pressure cookers for Reviewed. I tested new products for this roundup and retested our top picks from the original testing.
And I’m Bethany, an avid home cook who’s skeptical of more expensive products that seem to do the same thing as something half the price. Before I add anything more expensive than a spatula to my kitchen, I want it to be thoroughly vetted and to know it’s worth the cost.
Before testing, we dove into research mode. Our major evaluation measures were as follows: fast and even heating throughout the pot; a secure lid that’s easy to handle; and a nonstick surface that can brown meat while being easy to clean afterward.
We tested Dutch ovens that seemed to be highly rated everywhere, some newer models from direct-to-consumer brands, and a few less expensive options that walked the line between a great product and a great deal. We were also curious to find out if a higher price tag really did make for a better Dutch oven.
Our three tests for each Dutch oven tested its versatility for different cooking applications. First, a classic pho broth to see how deeply flavors would develop inside the pot. Second, a roasted chicken on a bed of mirepoix, assessing if the Dutch oven could appropriately cook both chicken and vegetables at the same time. And finally, a loaf of sourdough bread to test the heat retention of the pot as the bread springs from the initial burst of heat.
We took note of how easy it was to move each one, how well the ingredients fit, how each dish turned out, whether it was a pain to clean, how it fit on the stovetop, and how easy it was to store.
What You Should Know About Dutch Ovens
If you like to cook, a good Dutch oven is an essential tool for your kitchen. It’s usually made from seasoned cast-iron or ceramic, has thick walls, and includes a tight-fitting lid. These pots are excellent for browning meat and even better for making soups and stews or any recipes that require slow cooking because they distribute heat evenly during cooking. Dutch ovens can also tolerate high temperatures, so they can also be used for deep-frying, too.
Dutch ovens can be used on your stovetop and are oven-safe, but make sure it's been seasoned before its first use. Keep in mind these pots are hefty, so be careful when handling these while they're filled with hot food. Always look for a Dutch oven with large handles for easy maneuvering. Investing in a Dutch oven is well worth your money, as most—especially cast-iron Dutch ovens—are built to last forever.
What Cooks Best in a Dutch Oven
Dutch ovens are extremely versatile and can be used for everything from soup to sourdough. A Dutch oven is also excellent for cooking meat, vegetable, or seafood stews. The versatility of a Dutch oven goes beyond your kitchen, as there are some cast-iron models that can be hung over a campfire for outdoor cooking.
How to Choose the Right Size Dutch Oven
Because Dutch ovens are bulky, choosing the right size for your kitchen can be difficult. Dutch ovens range in size from 1/4 of a quart to 13 quarts. To decide which to buy, consider how many people you’re cooking for.
For one or two people, a 3- to 4-quart Dutch oven will usually do the trick. A household of four will want a 5- to 7-quart Dutch oven, which is the usual size range. If you’re cooking for a large family, a party, or a holiday meal, you may want to consider a Dutch oven larger than 7 quarts, just don’t forget to make sure it fits in your oven!
Ceramic or Cast-Iron?
There are benefits and drawbacks to both cast-iron and ceramic Dutch ovens. Cast-iron without an enamel coating can become rusty after repeated use. Enamel finishes on Dutch ovens will help keep them clean and rust-free.
Ceramic Dutch ovens are more visually pleasing but are prone to nicks and cracks with heavy use. Even the most thorough scrubbing won't return your ceramic model to its original condition once it has become stained. However, the staining won't affect its ability to cook your food.

Forklift lithium battery charge and discharge technology
Forklift lithium battery charge and discharge technology
Zibo torch 40 - lithium-ion batteries
5 db500/80 v500ah, 3 tons of heli forklift battery forklift most lithium-ion battery pack with different combinations of voltage, wide range of USES, is the preferred power source for all kinds of mechanical equipment, charging and discharging technology is key, can be a decisive impact on the whole battery life, many users new forklift battery life and time is not ideal, affected by many factors, we simple analysis under several elements: if the battery is lower than single less than half of the average life span, can be concluded that is due to improper use of technology, primary reason when the push through the charge and discharge monomer battery failure ahead of time.
Monomer battery as power source, such as mobile communications, power management technology has been very perfect, but in the lithium battery pack, the difference between monomer is always present, capacity, for example, the difference will never tend to disappear, but is gradually deteriorating.
Group through the same current, relatively large capacity is always in shallow shallow filling, tend to be small current capacity attenuation, longevity, slow and small person is always in large current charge discharge capacity, tend to capacity attenuation speed, shorten the life, the performance parameters of the differences between more and more big, form positive feedback characteristic, small capacity failure ahead of time, shorten the life.

Strengthened with continuous charging process, the polarization effect, temperature rise, along with gas chromatography, electrode overpotential increases, voltage rise, when charged to about 70 ~ 80%, reached the highest voltage charging voltage limit, into the constant pressure,
In theory there is no objective of charging voltage threshold, if understood as analysis, gas heating means overcharge, late in the constant current phase happen to different degrees of overcharge, 40 ~ 50 degrees Celsius temperature, sensor shell deformation easily, part of the escaping gas can also be compound, others as a result of the irreversible reaction, loss of capacity, it can be seen as current strength than battery capacities.
At constant pressure stage, has said a trickle charging, cost about 30% of the time filling the 10% of the battery, current strength decreases, and analysis, temperature no longer increases, and changes in the opposite direction.
For overcharge lithium battery forklift, at the time of inspection, single voltage high, relative to other cells in the group has entered a stage of charging.
Before charging, except in the constant current phase, due to the current intensity, voltage, temperature, increasing internal pressure, if continue to overcharge, air valve opening, and irreversible reaction temperature continues to rise.
Constant voltage phase, the current strength is lesser, overcharge symptoms than constant current phase is remarkable.
As long as the temperature rise, high internal pressure, is associated with side effects, battery capacity will reduce, and the adverse event has inertia, development to a certain extent, may be in charge or the charge the battery in a short time after the matter inside burning, lead to dead batteries.

Over the past couple of weeks, there has been a focus on the climate services (mitigation and adaptation) that agricultural landscapes provide. But one of the selling points for integrated landscape management is multifunctionality – not privileging one environmental, social, or economic benefit over another. This notion came across in a post earlier this year on Diversified Farming Systems (DFS), which introduced the synergies across biophysical functions. Today, Professor Tim Benton, who currently serves as the UK Government’s Global Food Security Champion, introduces a recent paper on how diversified agricultural landscapes can increase resilience to a rapidly changing world.
The world is changing, perhaps more rapidly than we are currently willing to acknowledge. The growth of food demand, driven by a growing and richer global population, is creating a big pull to intensify agricultural production, at the same time as there is increasing competition for land for other purposes (e.g. roads, cities, biofuels, etc.). That the economic centre of mass is moving eastwards as Asia develops is also causing significant changes in global supply chains. The tighter linkage between fuel prices and agricultural input (and thus output) prices means that agricultural production is ever more susceptible to fluctuations in the energy markets. And finally – but it is a big finally – climate change, especially the increasing variability in the extremes of weather, is making the world ever more unpredictable. Even if a particular farmer is not impacted by weather extremes, others will be and the cumulative effect of perturbations to supply globally adds to the volatility of the market. The only things that are certain about the future are that it is uncertain and that it will not be very similar to the past.
The ecosystem service view of the world recognises that, broadly, ecology does a lot for us that we largely don’t recognise. At a planetary level, there are some planetary boundaries that, if crossed, are likely to lead to significant negative feedbacks and the potential for large scale system collapse. Even at a local level, any area of land (let’s consider a landscape in this context) will provide a range of services: food production, water services (from capture, storage, and filtering of rain to flood control), biodiversity and its contribution to pollination and the control of pests via natural enemies, and even great cultural and social value. The land may provide footpaths and trails for recreation, offer health benefits for visitors, and also serve as a reservoir (or potential reservoir) of stored carbon, thus contributing to the mitigation of further climate change. However, agricultural landscapes are often managed (and regulated) based on only one or two services (food and water), not the host of services they need to provide. Furthermore, recent decades of intensification of agriculture, coupled with relatively stable markets, have led to large-scale agricultural specialisation, tending to make landscapes monotonous and homogeneous.
Such homogeneous landscapes are unsustainable for two reasons. First, uniformity erodes the ecology by creating a singular and unfriendly habitat. Secondly, uniformity creates a risk – and an ever increasing risk – for farm economics. If a single product is produced and there is a bad year (for the market or due to the weather) then incomes can catastrophically decline. Conversely, in a good year, incomes can be very large. Farmers typically rely on the good years to tide them over during bad years: but if the world is becoming more variable and a few bad years happen in a row, then there is a big risk that the business will fail. Recent research, inspired by the economic theories about portfolio management, shows that more diverse landscapes have farm incomes that fluctuate less, because as conditions change some yields or markets will go up and others down, and thus diversity tends to dampen fluctuations in income. This does come at a cost, seeing as income on average declines (yet less than income volatility declines). Farmer friends of mine say that it is possible to reduce this decline by being better at forecasting future market conditions when choosing what to grow; and there is certainly scope for developing better trade and weather forecasting methods at the timescale needed for farm businesses. Hence, diversified landscapes can be more resilient economically, and more sustainable in that sense.
And in the other sense? Diversified landscapes provide a range of field types, a range of timings in management actions, different types of rotation, smaller fields (and so more marginal land) as different fields are needed for different products. This heterogeneity has benefits for ecosystem service delivery. Therefore, diversification of farming can be a win–win scenario: increasing sustainability and resilience for farmers and wildlife.

Hike Of The Week: Little lakes lure hikers
It looked like winter but felt like spring when we visited Pine and Cedar lakes near Bellingham. The sun was warm, but there was a skin of ice on the lakes, and frost sparkled merrily where the sun hadn't reached.
These lakes are a fine destination any time of the year. The trail is user-friendly, can be hiked year-round and provides a scenic setting to stretch your muscles and get some elevation gain in preparation for those summer trails.
Seeking solitude? Try Pine Lake. A sunny lunch spot? Try Cedar Lake. For the best of everything, visit both.
The trailhead is well signed and starts off with a steep climb on an abandoned logging road. The trail gains about 1,000 feet in the first mile. A thousand feet may not sound like much to hikers who run Mount Si on a regular basis, but many hikers are like me and need to start now to get in shape for strenuous summer hikes. That 1,000-feet gain comes all at once, and while the second-growth forest is pretty, there is not much to distract you from the uphill grind.
As the trail climbed, I came to a signpost without a sign and decided to stay left on the most obvious path. I soon came to another signpost where the trail levels off on an old railroad grade. This one also was unsigned but had a green ring around it.
If I had not read the hike description or looked at the kiosk at the trailhead, I would not have known which direction to go, but someone has faintly scrawled "Pine and Cedar Lakes" with an arrow pointing left. The trail (right) continues to another trailhead for hikers wanting a longer hike.
The trail remained level, and in less than 1/2 mile I came to a sign for Pine and Cedar lakes, Cedar being the closest. The lakes are only about 1/4-mile apart, but I wanted to hike as far as I could before turning around, so I made Pine Lake my first stop.
After passing the turnoff to Cedar Lake, I soon came to the signed turnoff to Pine Lake. Up to this point the trail had been wide and easy to follow, but as I turned off to Pine Lake, the trail grew narrow, with minor ups and downs. This trail doesn't appear to get as much use as the trail to Cedar Lake, but it is not difficult to follow.
Soon I glimpsed the shimmer of the lake through a fringe of evergreens and speeded up, eager to see it. Reaching the lakeshore, I was surprised to discover that I'd have to "walk the plank" to view the lake.
Lakes are often boggy, and this one was no exception. A narrow boardwalk goes partway around the lake. You can hike in either direction but not all the way around . However, I recommend hiking clockwise, because part of the boardwalk is under water if you go the other way.
At first glance it's a bit disconcerting to a nonswimmer such as myself, but a closer look showed that the water is shallow and there is little risk of mishap. The boardwalk leads to an isthmus on the lake. Here there are rough campsites, make-do lunch spots and quiet little nooks. While camping is allowed at the lakes, fires are not permitted; motorized vehicles also are prohibited from these trails.
After admiring Pine Lake, I hiked back to the Cedar Lake turnoff. As the trail descends to the lake, look left for monolithic boulders scattered through the trees, many with big trees growing out of them -- but alas, too dark for photography.
Cedar Lake also has a boardwalk, but more of the trail is on terra firma and you can walk entirely around the lake. I hiked counterclockwise and found the perfect lunch spot in the sun at the far end of the lake. Here, a bench is positioned in front of a large boulder with a huge Douglas fir growing out of it.
After lunch I continued around the lake and was pleasantly surprised to come across another trail marker tempting me with side trips to other viewpoints -- a view of Bellingham, Mount Baker and Bellingham Bay. Who could resist these temptations on such a nice day?
The trail to the viewpoints is 1/2-mile one way and involves gaining more elevation -- the path is in fair condition though not heavily used. It climbs about 100 feet to the first viewpoint (0.2 mile) where the trees thin out in a level spot with a view of Bellingham. Trees grow quickly here, and the view of Bellingham is shrinking with each passing year.
From here it is another 0.2 miles and another 100 feet of elevation to a rocky outcropping with an unobstructed view of Mount Baker.
Given the time of day, I skipped the last viewpoint and headed back. Strong, experienced hikers may want to save the viewpoint of Mount Baker for their lunch spot if the weather is clear. There is room for several hikers on the outcropping, although it is somewhat precipitous and not recommended for small children.

This is an original painting using acrylic paints on canvas, it is framed in a contemporary ‘stepped’ gloss frame, as shown in the detail photographs.
The painting itself measures 16″ x 16″, the overall size in its frame is approximately 22″ x 22″, it is strung and ready to hang straight on your wall. I only ever use Professional Artists Quality Paint so it will remain colourful and vibrant for a lifetime and beyond, all it needs to keep it clean is a gentle dust.
This painting shows a pretty little cottage by a lake in an idyllic country landscape. The distant hills give a sense of depth to the painting and would be a lovely place to walk, the foreground is full of beautiful, slightly abstract wild flowers. I used a combination of acrylic and oil paints and added mediums to add texture and shine.

Happy Monday! The purpose of memorable Monday is to showcase a book that you’ve read in the past and share how/why it has stuck with you.
This week I’m featuring:
This novel was absolutely amazing. There is also a sequel that I highly recommend. I sincerely hope the author comes out with more books, because they were masterfully written. This book is most definitely not a beach read. It is raw, provocative and will rip your heart out. Although fictional, it opens the eyes of readers to life in the south around the time of the Civil War. It’s one I can honestly see high schoolers reading for English class. I literally don’t want to give anything away but fully believe it’s impossible to read this story and not feel it in your heart. It’s not a Christian book, and there is content that is difficult to read, but it’s a very powerful story. I absolutely highly recommend it.
About the Book:
When a white servant girl violates the order of plantation society, she unleashes a tragedy that exposes the worst and best in the people she has come to call her family. Orphaned while onboard ship from Ireland, seven-year-old Lavinia arrives on the steps of a tobacco plantation where she is to live and work with the slaves of the kitchen house. Under the care of Belle, the master’s illegitimate daughter, Lavinia becomes deeply bonded to her adopted family, though she is set apart from them by her white skin.
Eventually, Lavinia is accepted into the world of the big house, where the master is absent and the mistress battles opium addiction. Lavinia finds herself perilously straddling two very different worlds. When she is forced to make a choice, loyalties are brought into question, dangerous truths are laid bare, and lives are put at risk.
About the Author:
Born Kathleen Doepker, I was privileged as a child to be raised in Annaheim, Saskatchewan, a hamlet on the plains of Canada. Although we lived in a small, tightly knit Roman Catholic community, I was fortunate to have parents who were open to other religions and cultures. Since television was not a luxury our household could afford, books were the windows that expanded my world.
Soon after Sister Colette, my first grade teacher, introduced me to Dick, Jane, and Sally, I began to read on my own. I was a fanciful child and became so influenced by books that while I was reading Five Little Peppers And How They Grew I ate only cold boiled potatoes (the truth is this lasted only for a day) as I suffered with them through their hardships. After reading Anne Of Green Gables I was convinced that I, too, was adopted, until my mother told me to stop the foolishness and to look in the mirror. I had her nose. She was right. I limped desperately during Red Shoes For Nancy until my sister, Judy, told me to cut it out, people would think that something was wrong with me. Wanting to more closely experience Helen Keller’s tribulations, at every opportunity I walked with closed eyes until I solidly whacked my head on a doorframe. Enid Blynton’s Famous Five series had me looking for adventure around every corner, and when in class Rudyard Kipling’s, Kim, was read aloud, I couldn’t wait to leave for far-off lands.
Throughout my high school years Simon Lizee, a poet of merit, was our principal. He taught us literature and it was he who encouraged me to write.
Upon graduating from high school, as I saw it then, I had four choices. I could marry (no), become a secretary (no), become a teacher (no) become a nurse (yes). After I graduated from nursing school, I left for Montreal and there worked on staff at the Royal Vic Hospital. Eventually I married and came down to the United States. Throughout, I read voraciously and I wrote, often sending my work back to Mr. Lizee in Saskatchewan, who took the time to continue to instruct me.
It wasn’t until after I gave birth to my daughter, Erin, that I finally worked up enough courage to submit a short story to Myrna Blyth, who, I believe at that time was an editor at Family Circle. She sent back a lovely rejection note, telling me that this story was not one that she could use, but could I send others. I took that note to mean that she did not like my writing, but was being kind, and I foolishly submitted nothing further.
In time, I divorced and remarried, relocated to Manhattan, and there worked as an Ad Executive for a graphics company. I did not stop reading, nor writing, and over the next years took various classes in creative writing.
After four years in the city, we decided to try life on a small farm in New Jersey. When our collection of animals grew to include twenty-five Cashmere goats, two horses, three dogs, and two cats, we knew that it was time to relocate to a larger farm in rural Virginia. There we found twenty-seven acres and a large brick house, circa 1830, that once served as a stagecoach stop. But with the move came a glitch. For the first year my husband’s transfer didn’t happen as planned, and although he joined me every weekend, I was left on the new farm to manage on my own. It was an exciting yet frightening time, and I began to journal the experience. I joined a writers’ group, and the Piedmont Literary Society, and when I met Eleanor Dolan, a gifted poet, she generously agreed to mentor me in my writing.
In the following years, Charles and I established an herb farm, a tearoom, and a gift shop that we filled to the barn rafters with work from local artisans. As we restored our old plantation home, I began to research the history of our home and the land that surrounded it. Then I discovered the notation ‘Negro Hill’ on an old map. Unable to determine the story of its origin, local historians suggested that.
Now it’s your turn!

#TalkThursday: Beyond Napoles, guarding public funds
MANILA, Philippines – The national government's budget, an intimidating and daunting topic to most, has suddenly taken the spotlight this year.
This follows a series of exposes on how an entrepeneur named Janet Napoles amassed wealth allegedly through pocketing Priority Development Assistance Funds (PDAF), with the help of several lawmakers. Read: 'Madame Jenny' Napoles, woman in the eye of the storm and How NGOs get their hands on the pork barrel.
The controversy told of billions of funds robbed from farmers, scholars, patients and, ultimately, ordinary citizens. It spoke of widespread corruption within the ranks of those who were elected to serve Filipinos.
(Editor's note: Watch the interview here.)
Growing public interest
The reports on the magnitude of wealth bogus NGOs allegedly milked through the pork barrel and other discretionary funds inevitably resulted in public outrage.
With the recognition that they are the primary stakeholders surrounding the issue, Filipinos – affiliated or not – carried their dismay to the streets unified by single call – abolish the pork barrel and punish everyone involved. Read: #ScrapPork rallies still a go despite Aquino's reform plans
On August 26, the #MillionPeopleMarch a citizen-led and social media-powered protest took place in Luneta, with simultaneous movements also spread across and outside the country. With attendees pegged at 80,000-100,000, the event alone was said to be both an offline and online success.
As if following suit, controversies surrounding other discretionary funds and spending mechanisms also emerged.
Legal questions pounded the Disbursement Acceleration Program, a spending mechanism created by the Aquino administration to boost public spending. Proof on how the Malampaya fund was plundered also surfaced.
The public outrage generated by these controversies has triggered one positive side effect: greater public interest in where our money goes. More than ever, the controversies proved and reinforced the significance of exerting vigilance over decisions involving public funds.
Help us sustain public interest and increase awareness over the policies and processes involving the budget.
Rappler's #BudgetWatch, in partnership with the Open Budget Partnership (OBP), brings you a special edition of #TalkThursday.
On December 2, 2013, Monday, Rappler's Maria Ressa talked to Commission on Audit Chairperson Grace Pulido Tan and budget undersecretary Bon Moya to discuss pressing issues such as the Disbursement Acceleration program (DAP), pork barrel, transparency and accountability. Secretary Butch Abad was held up in budget hearings in Congress.
The forum was held at the Columbus Hall, 42nd floor, Discovery Suites, Ortigas.
Let us know other issues involving the national budget that concern you. You can email your questions to email@example.com with the heading #BudgetWatch or tweet us at @moveph.
Together, let's strengthen government accountability and transparency over public funds. – Rappler.com

Okay so for some reason my local shop and most everyone I talk to act amazed that I stretched 25K out of my front stock tire. I was happy but wasn't really as amazed as everyone else. I maintain air pressure and ride nothing special. I will say that I can definitely tell the difference with the new one. Now I will see if the next one lasts as long.

German Olympic Sports President Thomas Bach Announces IOC Presidential Candidacy
Published May 10, 2013
MUNICH WORRIES: In Munich, Lisa Sonnabend reported Bach's candidacy "could affect Munich's bid to host the 2022 Winter Olympics." Should the IOC "elect a German president, Munich's chances would decline." The reason is the IOC "would most likely not vote twice for Germany." Munich, which lost in '11 against South Korea's PyeongChang to host the 2018 Winter Games, "will decide about a renewed Olympic bid" after the German federal and state elections in September (SÜDDEUTSCHE ZEITUNG, 5/9).

On April 5, 2022, the Pennsylvania Game Commission announced the closure to all rock climbing activities on State Game Lands 51 and 138 in Fayette County. The official statement indicates the reason for the closure is habitat preservation of “several rare, threatened or endangered plant and wildlife species.” Last week, upon notification of the impending announcement, the Southwestern PA Climbers Coalition (SWPACC), together with other PA Local Climbing Organizations and Access Fund, submitted a letter to the Game Commission, stressing our commitment to the conservation of wildlife, consistent with Access Fund’s Climbers Pact and “Leave No Trace” ethic, and requesting that we work together to address habitat management concerns while exploring options for maintaining climbing access. Representatives from the Game Commission received and read our letter, and we remain in communication. The Commission has nevertheless moved to implement the closure of Game Lands 51 and 138. You can read the Game Commission’s official press release here: https://www.media.pa.gov/pages/Game-Commission-Details.aspx?newsid=537.
SWPACC and other PA Local Climbing Organizations, including Eastern PA Alliance of Climbers and Southcentral PA Climbers, with the support of Access Fund, remain committed to the vision of balancing rock climbing activities with habitat conservation on State Game Lands, and will continue to work toward that goal. We ask that, in the meantime, all climbers abide by the closure and do not climb on areas located in SGL 51 and 138, the most well-known of which are Coll’s Cove, Lost Crag, The Vault, Casparis, Rob’s Knob, Fish Rocks, and Zebley Flats. We also ask that, rather than contacting the PA Game Commission or other state agencies directly at this time to express your concerns, instead please contact SWPACC at firstname.lastname@example.org or your local climbing organization and help us in our focused efforts to reopen our beloved climbing areas. As we have updates, we will share them on the SWPACC website and via social media. Thank you for your support and understanding.

ECDC opens ESCAIDE 2021 digital conference
Stockholm, 16/11/2021. Today, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) is opening the 2021 European Scientific Conference on Applied Infectious Disease Epidemiology (ESCAIDE). Organised by ECDC, the conference takes place between 16-19 November 2021 and is an entirely online event due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Key speakers include Peter Piot, Special Advisor on COVID-19 to the President of the European Commission, Vittoria Colizza, Head of Research of Sorbonne Université, Ellen t’Hoen, Medicines Law and Policy, and Kevin Fenton, former Director of the US Center for HIV/AIDS and current Public Health Regional Director for London.
ESCAIDE 2021 opens with a keynote plenary session on Communicating science and scientific uncertainty during a pandemic. On day two, speakers will discuss the contributions of real-time modelling during the COVID-19 pandemic and how digital health technologies can be used to transform public health.
The programme is based on the presentation of scientific abstracts. This year plenaries and sessions will focus on issues shaping infectious disease epidemiology & microbiology over the next decade and beyond. There will be a special focus on the latest research concerning major issues including COVID-19, food-and waterborne diseases, HIV and sexually transmitted infections, vaccine-preventable diseases, influenza and respiratory viruses. Sessions will also address antimicrobial resistance and emerging diseases.
On Thursday the 18 November, the morning sessions will be dedicated to the annual European Antibiotic Awareness Day. Speakers will announce the latest data on antimicrobial consumption and resistance in the EU/EEA and will address the need for prudent antibiotic use, especially when most of the world’s focus lies on tackling the COVID-19 pandemic.
The closing plenary will address how the coronavirus pandemic has disproportionally impacted certain groups and how such healthcare inequalities can be addressed.
Over 1500 participants are expected to attend, including epidemiologists, veterinarians, microbiologists, clinicians, public health professionals, science journalists, statisticians, social scientists and policymakers.
Notes to editor
16 Nov 2021 to 19 Nov 2021 - The European Scientific Conference on Applied Infectious Disease Epidemiology (ESCAIDE) will be organised as a completely online event from 16 to 19 November 2021.

The first time out for the new All England BBC Bus is Suffolk.
For the whole of May the tour of Suffolks towns and villages has taken place. From Ipswich Town Football Club's 30 years of winning the FA Cup to Lowersoft Town in the FA Vase. From Bury St Edmonds to the Suffolk show its been a month of new venues and places for the bus to get too.
BBC Radio Suffolk Never did have a bus before so this is just as big a challange for the station as it is for me.
For the next two day I will be at the Suffolk Show before heading up to Norwich for a "Learn New skills day" outside BBC Radio Norfolk.
