Vegetables are the important sources of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants providing human health benefits. Regular intake of recommended amount of vegetables leads to sound health. On the contrary, insufficient intake of quality vegetables causes several mineral deficiency disease symptoms. Quality of vegetables greatly depends on the production system and handling procedures after harvest. In this case, hydroponic systems are now popularly used for producing quality vegetables. In these managed culture techniques, plants are grown in water or soilless substrates through artificial supply of plant nutrition. In this chapter, the importance of quality vegetables to human health will be discussed. Use of hydroponic systems and soilless culture techniques for the production of quality vegetables will also be discussed briefly.
2. Human health benefits of quality vegetables
The fresh and edible portions of herbaceous plants are generally termed as vegetables, which are important component of a healthy diet. They are the important source of vitamins and minerals, dietary fibers, and antioxidants. Regular and adequate intake of different kinds of vegetables such as edible roots, stems, leaves, fruits, or seeds helps us maintain good health. On the other hand, reduced consumption of quality vegetables often causes noncommunicable diseases including cardiovascular diseases and certain types of cancer. It is estimated that about 5.2 million deaths reported worldwide were due to inadequate consumption of fruits and vegetables in 2013 [1, 2, 3]. Research results recommended increased consumption of fruits and vegetables for the prevention of these chronic diseases [4, 5]. Vegetables contain low fats, less sugars, and sodium ions, which are the main focus of healthy diets. In this regards, WHO recommended consumption of more than 400 grams of fruits and vegetables per day to maintain good health and also reduce the risk of noncommunicable diseases .
Vegetables provide mineral nutrients that are vital for good health and maintenance of our body. Most of the vegetables have low fat and calories, many mineral nutrients including potassium, dietary fiber, folic acid, vitamin A, and vitamin C. Dietary potassium may help to maintain healthy blood pressure. In this case, vegetables such as sweet potatoes, white potatoes, white beans, tomato products, beet greens, soybeans, lima beans, spinach, lentils, and kidney beans are rich in potassium. Dietary fiber from vegetables helps to reduce blood cholesterol levels and to lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Vegetables containing vitamin A keeps eyes and skin healthy and helps to protect against infections, while vitamin C helps heal cuts and wounds and keeps teeth and gums healthy and it aids in iron absorption.
Vegetable rich diets are attributed to overall good health and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases including heart attack and stroke . Colored vegetables are reported to play protective roles against certain types of cancer [8, 9]. Dietary fiber from vegetables such as leafy greens reduces the risk of heart diseases, obesity and diabetes mellitus, and metabolic syndromes .
In the following chapter, different types of vegetables such as leafy greens, root, bulb and tubers, legumes, stalks, fruit and flower vegetables are discussed along with their role on prevention of diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Preparation and cooking methods greatly affect the nutritional quality of vegetables. Thus, research results on these preparing and cooking methods will be also discussed in another chapter. Health benefits of common fruits and vegetables in the sub-Saharan Africa with their consumption status will be reviewed in one of chapter of this book.
3. Production techniques of quality vegetables
Quality of vegetable greatly depends on the horticultural production systems , environmental factors , and management practices used . Climatic conditions such as mainly temperature and light intensity have strong influence on the nutritional quality of vegetables. It was reported that, soil type, rootstock used for fruit trees, mulching, irrigation, fertilization, and other cultural practices influence composition and quality attributes of the harvested plant . Hydroponic cultivation technique ensures production of quality vegetables, as in this culture system both plant nutrition and environmental conditions are artificially managed according to the plant need. Growing quality vegetables is easier and safer in hydroponic system compared to conventional soil culture. The great advantages of this system are that plant roots are visible and root zone environment can be easily monitored . In this system of cultivation, yield of vegetable crop can be maximized though efficient use of all resources, and it is believed to be the most intensive form of agricultural enterprises for commercial production of greenhouse vegetables [16, 17, 18].
Soilless culture of vegetables uses either inert organic or inorganic substrate through hydroponic nutrient application. This culture technique has also been reported to practice in the greenhouse as an alternative to conventional filed cultivation of many high-value vegetable crops [19, 20, 21]. Under these protected cultivation system, weather factors, amount and composition of nutrient solution, and also the growing medium can be managed successfully. Thus, quality of vegetable crops grown through soilless culture improves significantly compared to conventional soil culture [22, 23]. Many other researchers found better taste, uniformity, color, texture, and higher nutritional value in fruits grown in soilless culture than in soil cultivation methods [24, 25, 26].
In this book, nutritional quality and bioactive compounds in freshly grown vegetable through hydroponics will be discussed in detail. Moreover, influence of different soilless substrates on the growth, quality, and yield of Slovenian sweet potato cultivar will also be presented. In the sea, there are abundant sources of green algae that can be included in the dietary menu as it is rich in minerals. The final chapter will describe the methods of sea vegetables utilization in the food formulation.
Sufficient consumption of quality vegetables can reduce the risk of several noncommunicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancers, diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndromes. Inclusion of vegetables in the dietary constituents indicates healthy life. Vegetables provides greater amount of dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, and also phytochemicals or antioxidants. In this regards, hydroponics and soilless culture can produce higher quality of vegetables compared to traditional soil culture techniques. It is evident that, nutrition-related health problems are increasing drastically in the world. Therefore, production of quality vegetables and their sufficient consumption should be given priority for human health promotion.

Thank you, Mindstream, for this article! There’s a 5% chance AI will wipe out the human race. Sleep well tonight. Scientists have made a prediction that is either chilling or comforting, depending on which way you swing.
They’re saying there’s a 5% chance AI ends up wiping out the human race, on average.
The big prediction
A huge survey has taken place among AI researchers, asking their opinions on whether AI is a risk to humanity.
2,700 scientists filled out the survey and revealed there is a non-zero risk that AI will end up destroying humanity – but the level of risk predicted was very changeable.
58% said they believed there was a 5% chance AI would kill us all, making it the most “likely” outcome.
Other interesting tidbits
That wasn’t all they discussed.
The development of AI that can outperform humans on every task was estimated as being given 50% odds of happening by 2047.
The possibility of all human jobs becoming fully automatable was given 50% odds to occur by 2116.
That will be an interesting world to live in…

On Conspiracy Thought Models in Thinking Climate Change
Keywords:Climate change thinking, Erroneous thinking, Content-based psychology, Denialism, Conspiracy thinking
People make mistakes in their thinking. Errors in human thinking and incorrect information contents in people’s mental representations can be found in everyday context such as in arguments about the current climate crisis. Erroneous thinking can cause false thought models such as climate change denialism and conspiracy thinking. Therefore, it is important to analyze the information contents of incorrect schemas or thought models. This can be done with an approach called content-based psychology.
In this research we analyzed 2980 public opinions posted in Finnish Social Media Platform Suomi24 to study how people think about and what kinds of illusory contents they use in constructing their representations on climate issues. We wanted to ask whether one can find illusory thinking in social media posts and to outline a typical construction of a false thought model in conspiracy thinking related to climate change. As a result, we found that conspiracy thinking can be found in online media discussions, and it is strongly associated with climate change denialism. Also, different fallacious or biased thought models have combined effects in constructing active mental representations in conspiracy thought models. Analyzing mental contents makes it possible to understand denialist and illusory thinking, but it requires further work.

Demand for a nationally syndicated radio show in the US which discusses the potential for investing in gold has doubled in the last 12 months.
Capital Gold Group Inc, which specializes in customized investment portfolios, has seen a huge increase in the number of affiliate radio stations running the 'Gold Show'.
The show features the views of president and chief executive officer Jonathan C. Rose, who is an internationally recognized advisor and commentator on gold markets.
He believes that the public demand for information on investment opportunities is greater than ever, particularly in light of the current turbulent financial landscape.
Mr. Rose has also explained that his clients now believe that gold is no longer an alternative investment, but a crucial part of any long-term financial plan or portfolio.
He predicted in 2006 that the gold price would break through the $1,000 per ounce barrier - which it did in March 2008 - and is now forecasting further incremental climbs in the yellow metal.
Meanwhile, gold investors are also awaiting developments in the Gulf of Mexico from the tropical storm Gustav, with the possibility that US oil installations could be hit.
Oil prices - and subsequently gold prices - would go from strength to strength if major damage occurred.

Lady Gaga is set to perform at London’s iTunes Festival on Sunday. All week long, the “Applause” singer has been uploading rehearsal footage on YouTube. Each new clip gives a short preview of a track off her ARTPOP album.
The audio quality of the videos isn’t the greatest, but it definitely provides a glimpse of whats to come from her upcoming effort. By far “Sex Dreams” which she released today has the most potential with “Swine” coming a close second. Not really feeling “Manicure” but that could be due to Gaga’s intentional obstruction of the sound.
“THE SOUND QUALITY OF THESE CLIPS HAS BEEN OBSTRUCTED TO GIVE YOU A TASTE OF ARTPOP BUT ULTIMATELY CONFUSE YOU UNTIL SUNDAY” – Lady Gaga
Check out the previews below and weigh in on which track has the most potential afterward.

Masks will be mandatory on US flights until 18 JanuaryEuropost
US extended the rule to ware mandatory masks on flights to 18 January 2022. The federal rule is also valid for other public transportation, AP reported. The Transportation Security Administration noted that the extension of restrictions is aimed to curb the spread of Covid-19. The same order which is currently valid was scheduled to expire 13 September 2021, an agency spokesman said.
The TSA briefed airline industry representatives on its plan and planned to discuss it with airline unions. The mask rule also applies to employees on planes and public transportation.
The mask mandate has been controversial and has led to many conflicts between passengers who don’t want to wear a mask and flight attendants asked to enforce the rule. The Federal Aviation Administration said that airlines had reported 3,889 incidents involving unruly passengers this year, and 2,867 involved refusing to wear a mask.
“We have a responsibility in aviation to keep everyone safe and do our part to end the pandemic, rather than aid the continuation of it,” said Sara Nelson, president of the Association of Flight Attendants. “We all look forward to the day masks are no longer required, but we’re not there yet,” she added.
The extension was not surprising after a recent surge in Covid-19 cases linked to the Delta variant of the virus.

HOW WE COMPARE
Downtown daily parking rates, private garages
The jeers have resounded over City Hall’s pricey and mistake-plagued deal last year to lease Chicago’s 36,000 parking meters, but pulling into a garage downtown is no bargain, either.
Chicago’s median daily garage parking rate is $31, fourth highest among American cities (New York, Honolulu, and Boston are higher), according to a study by Colliers International, an affiliation of real-estate companies that compiles an annual list of various parking rates for large cities. Its 2009 study also reports that the median monthly rate in Chicago for a private, unreserved spot in a garage is $325, also fourth highest, trailing only New York, Boston, and San Francisco.
In comparison, Loop meters are a relative bargain—for now. At the current rate of $3.50 per hour, if you spent an eight-hour workday parked at a meter in the Loop, it would cost you $28. (Of course, you’d have to deal with other possible irritations, such as lugging a small mint of quarters around, illegally feeding the meter, or searching for a new spot every time the meter expires.) By 2013, the rate for Loop meters is scheduled to rise to $6.50 per hour, an amount dwarfed by the 2009 median first-hour rate for private garages, $17 (which, by the way, is third highest in the country, after New York and Boston).
That expensive first hour proves that the price of the meters isn’t so bad. “The reason [garages] can charge that much is nobody can find a meter,” says Donald Shoup, a professor of urban planning at the University of California, Los Angeles, who specializes in the economics of parking. That is, despite grousing about meter prices, drivers swarm the curbside spots, parking in the garages only when they get desperate. Some cities are now adjusting prices to strike a balance between meters being well used and readily available. “If all the spaces are full, the price is too low. It’s the Goldilocks principle,” Shoup says.
At least one thing is universal, Shoup adds: “Nobody will ever want to pay for parking anywhere.”

One of the things I was told by people in the know was that I had to take the girls to the Jeykll and Hyde Club restaurant at 91 7th Ave. After the Met, we decided to have dinner there.
This is a restaurant where you do pay for the experience. It’s not more or less expensive than other sit down restaurants, but the food isn’t something to write home about. You also need to make sure you have cash or be ready to use their ATM.
They advertise that something spooky happens every ten minutes. We found it to be more frequent. There’s a mixture of animatronics on the walls, like the werewolf, and live entertainment.
Here is one of the live entertainers with a pet spider she introduced to the children. He’s a laboratory experiment, she told them, but he likes to meet the humans. She also checked them with her ghost catching net to see if they were posessed. Another actor led us in the pledge to join the club, and walked up and yelled BOO! making us jump.
While they note that there is an entertainer fee added to your check, it’s only three dollars per person. I highly encourage you to tip the staff directly. (Remember that tipping is a thing in the US.)
While Jekyll and Hyde has desserts, we elected instead to go across the street to The Big Gay Ice Cream Shop. They make soft serve ice cream, usually covered in a topping. They also have the option to eat your ice cream plain or to get a popsicle.
I got vanilla ice cream with a chocolate and pretzel topping. It was delicious.
I think this was a great way to close out our day.


Jargon – you can stick it on National Plain English Day
- Created on Friday, 10 December 2010 12:25
National Plain English Day falls on Friday 10 December 2010 and will coincide with the Plain English Campaign's annual Golden Bull awards.
National Plain English Day started with the launch of the campaign when the supporters travelled to Parliament and set to shredding jargon-filled documents on Parliament Green. The police then intervened and read out the legalese-filled Metropolitan Police Act, prompting Chrissie Maher, founder of Plain English Campaign to ask,
“Does all that mean we have to go?”
Since then the campaign has been fighting against the use of jargon and gobbledygook in public information from both private and public service organisations. The awards ceremony recognises public nominations gathered over the year for both well and poorly written information.
The campaign has been fighting jargon and gobbledygook for 31 years and 2010 brings the 30th awards ceremony. Traditionally this has been held in London but this year, Central Manchester is the campaign’s new venue for celebrating these landmark events.
The prime location of Exchange Square will be the site for the Plain English Campaign tent . Supporters will be shredding gobbledygook and handing out ‘return to sender’ stickers for the public to use on any information they receive that cannot be easily understood. The stickers will also be available to download from the Plain English Campaign website for jargon-laden emails.
We will also be showing short films about the 30 years of campaigning on the Big Screen in the Triangle above the tent.
BBC One Inside Out will be attending to record the event as a follow-up to their original filming of the campaign 27 years ago. The update is planned for broadcast in early 2011.
Chrissie Maher, founder of Plain English Campaign says, “I wanted the campaign to give people the confidence to push back on the growing mountain of confusion and meaningless language in public information. The success of the campaign can be seen in the clearer information provided by many organisations over the years. But even though most people agree that plain English is plain common sense, our government needs to make it a legal duty that public communications are crystal-clear.”
The awards ceremony will dip into the world of creative gobbledygook using the worlds of music and art to highlight the need to get the message across clearly, whatever form of communication is used.
Artist Mike Marcus will be displaying larger than life prints of his work ‘Exogamy’ - with a plain English interpretation, alongside work from Chetham’s School art students.
Comedian Paul Parry will investigate the misuse of the word ‘literally’. Guests will hear specially composed musical works from David Owen Norris, the classical pianist ,and students of Chetham’s school of music will as part of a Plain English Recital. A CD of the live recording will be available after the event.

Pantry Pride Inc. lost its hostile takeover battle for Revlon Inc. Thursday as the cosmetics and health care concern said it will be acquired by a New York investment banking firm for about $3 billion in a leveraged buyout.
Revlon said Forstmann Little & Co. agreed to pay $56 a share for Revlon`s common stock, $3 a share higher than Pantry Pride`s latest offer made Tuesday.
``It`s R.I.P. for R.O.P.,`` said Revlon`s spokesman Roger Shelley, referring to Pantry Pride Chairman Ronald O. Perelman. Analysts agreed the Fort Lauderdale company will likely turn its attention elsewhere.
``In my opinion, Pantry Pride is now out of the running,`` said Ken Gassman, a Pantry Pride analyst with Wheat, First Securities in Richmond, Va.
``That`s more than Pantry was figuring on putting up, and it is far in excess of Pantry Pride`s resources,`` Gassman said.
Pantry Pride had originally offered $47.50 for each common share, or $1.9 billion, for Revlon and since has floated a variety of conditional price offers. The latest, made minutes before a meeting of Revlon`s board of directors Tuesday evening, was for $53 a share. Each proposal was rebuffed by Revlon`s management.
Forstmann Little - which specializes in leveraged buyouts and recently acquired a diverse group of 12 divisions from ITT Corp. - will invest about $445 million of its own capital in the Revlon transaction. The balance of the purchase price will be made up through bank loans, the companies said.
Revlon`s senior management will be offered an equity participation in the acquiring company, Revlon said. Forstmann Little also owns the Dr Pepper Bottling Co. and Topps Chewing Gum Inc.
Meanwhile, Forstmann Little and American Home Products Corp. struck a deal relating to the former`s acquisition of Revlon, which includes the sale of Revlon`s Norcliff Thayer - the maker of Tums antacid tablets - and Reheis Chemical businesses to American Home immediately after Forstmann Little`s acquisition of Revlon goes through.
Revlon and Forstmann Little, moreover, have signed an agreement for the sale of Revlon`s worldwide beauty products business for about $900 million to an investment group led by Adler & Shaykin, another investment firm, and including members of Revlon`s beauty products management.
That sale is expected to be completed just before Forstmann Little`s acquisition of Revlon and is not subject to shareholder approval, company officials said. The buyout of Revlon itself is subject to shareholder approval and the completion of the beauty products division`s sale. Should it not be completed for any reason other than a contractual breach by Forstmann Little, Revlon will pay Forstmann Little a $25 million fee.
Revlon said it likely will hold a special shareholders meeting in late November on taking the company private through the leveraged buyout. A leveraged buyout generally is a transaction in which the money borrowed for the deal is repaid through the company`s future earnings. In Revlon`s case, the deal is a self-financing one, in which the proceeds from the sale of assets will repay the borrowed funds.
Pantry Pride officials could not be reached for comment, and the company`s next move is unclear. Nevertheless, Gassman at Wheat, First Securities said, ``Pantry Pride has got to make an acquisition to service its $750 million debt,`` referring to the securities marketed earlier this year for acquisition financing.
Gassman said he did not know which company Pantry Pride may go after next but that it will likely be a consumer-products company with a good return but a low growth rate, to keep a potential acquisition`s expense moderate.
``MacAndrews & Forbes has grown through acquisitions, not internal growth,`` he said, referring to the privately held conglomerate that in June took control of Pantry Pride in a $60 million deal. ``It peels the companies away (by selling off certain divisions) to recover its investment and then acquires someone else.``
Trading in Revlon shares was suspended late Thursday pending the announcement after the company`s stock rose 37.5 cents per share to $54.37.

KARMANOS SHOOTS THE BULL OVER WHALERS SITUATION
Published April 23, 1996
In a spirited interview with Michael Arace of the HARTFORD COURANT, Whalers Owner Peter Karmanos insists there is no "cynical twist" to the team's recent season ticket drive and denies he would move the club without the state of CT's permission. Saying while he is "not making any money" by staying in Hartford, Karmanos says he hopes to "stabilize" the franchise and generate a revenue base of $37-38M so the club can compete with the "deep pockets" of the Bruins and Rangers. Karmanos calls the ESPN story which had the Whalers headed to Nashville "horse crap" and "very frustrating," but he admits if he were a "prudent business person" he should have been looking last fall for "alternative locations." Karmanos mentions a site "in between New Haven and Hartford" as the possible location for a new arena, but says "we can't even talk about that when we're averaging 10,000 people per game and ... when we can't fill the skyboxes." He goes on to criticize the union's view of economics: "The NHLPA's position, privately with the league, is screw the small markets. When we were trying to do revenue sharing and salary caps ... the NHLPA's position was, 'You know, if the team can't make it in the market they're in, move 'em'" (HARTFORD COURANT, 4/21).


A friend recently shared a photo of his vintage Sony X-R1 with the caption, “90s video.”
He wanted to know if it would work for his vintage camera, so he sent in the specs and asked me for some advice.
The photos of the camera and the X-Ray show a clear sign of what we’re looking at.
It’s a modern camera with an analog viewfinder, and the lens has a clear aperture, meaning it can be used in a variety of lighting conditions.
In the picture, the shutter speeds are pretty fast for its era, but I would have preferred the shutter speed be slightly slower for an image that has the same light-sensitivity as my X-ray.
Also, the Sony XR1 does not have a USB port, which is a huge deal for my friend.
The camera is also waterproof, which means it can easily be submerged in a pool.
For the first time, I can see the Sony, which seems to be something a lot of people have asked about.
I have no idea if the Sony can actually do the job, but it’s not something I would want to spend money on, and I can certainly understand why the XR-1 would want a newer camera.
I’ve always wanted to own a Sony camera, and now that I have it, I’m happy to know I can afford one.

Today co-anchor and everyone’s favorite weatherman, Al Roker has earned success and a faithful following by maintaining a sunny disposition — rain or shine.It’s a drizzly Monday morning, and NBC’s Today show has been on the air nearly 15 minutes by the time weatherman Al Roker strolls onto the set, looking dapper in a subtle gray-and-brown plaid jacket with gray trousers. His late arrival isn’t an indication of slacking off: Roker’s already been at work for more than an hour. He hosts Wake Up with Al beginning at 6 a.m. on the Weather Channel, whose studios are a stone’s throw from Today’s space in Rockefeller Center.
The sun hasn’t come up yet, but dozens of tourists wait outside, peering patiently through the studio window. When that window was introduced in 1998, it created a sea change in morning television that has worked in Roker’s favor. Today exists between entertainment and news, a tradition that goes back to its very first host, Dave Garroway, who helmed the show from 1952 to 1961. He was the first to abandon the stiff formality of a news anchor in favor of a more casual, informal style — one that Roker and his co-anchors have mastered, consistently earning them the top spot in the morning ratings with an average of 6 million viewers per day.
While his co-anchors Matt Lauer, Ann Curry and Natalie Morales run through the morning’s headlines, Roker sits in a corner checking his iPhone and iPad. Seven minutes later, it’s his turn to describe what’s happening with the weather: rain everywhere, it seems. He signs off with his signature, “Here’s what’s happening in your neck of the woods,” then turns around and revs up the crowd outside. They cheer, and the energy on the set shifts into a whole other gear.
Be it morning, noon, night — or even in the painfully early hours before dawn — Roker exudes a genuine, folksy persona that has made him one of the most popular members of the on-air team since his debut nearly 16 years ago. But those who think of him as just the show’s genial weatherman underestimate him. Roker is far more than the willing wingman who last year let Ryan Gosling lift him over his head in a re-creation of the famous scene from Dirty Dancing, or the goofball dressed as Superman for Halloween, or even the dedicated field reporter being blown down by gale-force winds during Hurricane Wilma in 2005 — though he is all those things.
Roker is also a capable newsman — co-anchoring the show’s third hour with Morales and Savannah Guthrie, tackling serious news stories and hard-hitting interviews — and most of all, a pro at live television, an art that can elude even the most gifted of broadcasters. “You have to constantly say something smart and respond to people on the street, without crossing the line or saying something stupid,” says Eric Deggans, a television critic for the St. Petersburg Times and a National Public Radio cultural commentator. “And he does it live, four hours a day.”
Today executive producer Jim Bell has even higher praise for Roker, 57.
“Al is the glue that holds this show together,” he says. “Behind the cameras and on the set, he keeps us all going.”

Karen Joy Fowler is well known for The Jane Austen Book Club, a quirky novel where each of Jane Austen's books finds an echo in the lives of its six main characters. (The novel was so popular it was made into a film, which I didn't enjoy so much, but that's another story.) I found Fowler's The Case of the Imaginary Detective at a book fair and being a big fan of detective fiction, I had high hopes for it. And for the most part, I wasn't disappointed.
The Case of the Imaginary Detective is the story of Rima, who after the deaths of her father from leukaemia and her very dear brother in a car crash, needs to crawl away from the world for a bit to lick her wounds. She is taken in by her godmother, Addison Early, famous for writing detective novels featuring the charismatic Maxwell Lane, which have been made into movies and TV series. Addison is a brittle, bristly and secretive woman, who is none the less kindly.
Addison inhabits a rambling house by the beach in Santa Cruz, along with two dachshunds and a recovering alcoholic housekeeper named Tilda. There are two visiting university students who help out with dog-walking duties as well as attempting, at Addison's request, to take Rima out of herself. Scattered about the house are doll-house models of the murder that takes place at the start of each of Addison's novels, some of which are particularly grisly.
But the underlying mystery of this novel concerns Addison's past, which she is quite tight-lipped about: her relationship with Rima's father, and their connection with Holy City, a religious community run by the autocratic William Riker, which was also the scene of a suspicious death. Then there is the mystery of why Addison named a murderer after Rima's father, and whether this was the cause of the rift in their relationship.
These mysteries are certainly intriguing and keep the plot ticking along nicely. Rima does a lot of snooping, in Addison's attic and at the now derelict Holy City, as well as on the Internet. She's not the daughter of a prize-winning journalist for nothing. In doing so she starts to come out of her shell. She begins to face up to her feelings for her family, especially her adored brother, and interacts more with other people. The ending is just as much about Rima getting her life back on track as the solving of mysteries.
I apologise if this makes the books seem altogether too worthy, because the whole thing is packaged in a pleasantly wry narrative style. The setting of a seaside town in winter adds a ton of atmosphere - a suitable canvas for the bunch of oddbods that inhabit it. And being rather fond of oddbods in literature, I liked this novel a lot.

Adventist Development and Relief Agency International
Vulnerability and Needs Assessment Scope of Work – Southeast Madagascar
ADRA is preparing for an upcoming RFSA funding opportunity in Madagascar which aims to help poor and vulnerable people in their efforts to combat poverty, improve food security, reduce vulnerability, and enhance household and community resiliency. The program development process will start with a vulnerability needs assessment in food insecure areas of Southeast Madagascar**,** so ADRA is seeking the services of a qualified consultant to conduct the assessment in the target areas.
The purpose of the assessment is to determine the vulnerability of the population to food and nutritional insecurity, health and WASH issues in the communities and to understand the shocks and response strategies of households and communities. It will also provide data to assess future changes in the vulnerability status among households and allow ADRA an unbiased opportunity to assess critical changes in the livelihoods of households living within program areas of the Southeast Madagascar.
In collaboration with ADRA International and ADRA Madagascar MEAL team, the consultant will concentrate in conducting the assessment in highly food insecure households and areas that are more vulnerable to shocks. The assessments will develop livelihood profiles of the communities and households and will serve as a key input for the 2024 Madagascar RFSA design. Quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis will: i) characterize the main issues and causes of food insecurity; ii)identify issues affecting the agriculture and livestock production/marketing iii) provide first-hand information on the characteristics of vulnerable and food insecure communities and households; iii) assess and analyze the current health and WASH issues affecting communities and iv) help understand HHs characteristics of the most vulnerable population including poor and extremely poor households for targeting purposes.
The consultant will lead the development of the assessment questionnaire with the ADRA M&E team including input and feedback form the technical teams and conduct the surveys and collect data. The consultant will also develop a qualitative questionnaire to collect data from the field. The qualitative assessment will include both Focus Groups and Key Informant interviews. The interviews with Key Informants will be conducted face to face by one of the team members, who will present the questions and will take notes on the responses. The gathered information will then combine with the preliminary report from the Focus Groups, to develop the final report on the qualitative assessment. Additionally, ADRA has data available from its current FIOVANA program that works in the same geographical area focusing on food security interventions. The data will be available to the consultant to be included in the assessment report. The consultant is expected to do a full desk review of the current data available from other food security projects and BHA documents on the food security situation in Madagascar and develop a secondary data collection report.
- Assess and evaluate the main challenges and risks including limited access to productive infrastructure and land, natural resources, agriculture and livestock production, marketing, and security and crime influence and their effects on vulnerabilities and food security in the region.
- Assess the risks and vulnerabilities of the population living in targeted regions of the Southeast Madagascar**;** and
- Understand the shocks and causes of vulnerability among different socioeconomic groups and regions and the coping strategies households employ in response to them.
- This should include the unique experiences of both existing residents and returnees/IDPs
- Identify strategies and interventions as potential solutions and ways of addressing the issues identified in the assessment.
The assessment will also address issues including livelihood strategies, income and expenditure patterns, food consumption patterns/dietary intake, access to services such as water and sanitation, education and health, social dynamics and the role of institutions and markets, each of which affects food security and nutritional status of the poor.
Data collection methodology
The assessment will focus on both quantitative and qualitative data that will be collected from the target households and communes, ADRA expects the consultant to collect information through household interviews, focus groups and key informant interviews. Analysis of qualitative data will enhance understanding about local livelihood systems – the economic, socio-cultural and political context and the constraints leading to food insecurity, vulnerabilities, marginalization, and risks of poor families living within this context. The consultant will develop a quantitative questionnaire and share it with the ADRA M&E team. Additionally, the consultant will develop qualitative tools that will be used for collection of qualitative data. ADRA M&E and technical teams will review both quantitative and qualitative tools and add more questions (if necessary) before the consultant start the data collection in the field.
The consultant is expected to oversee the completion of quantitative surveys within the sample area. The consultant will design a sampling strategy that allows findings from interviewed households to be generalized across the prospective target population. ADRA expect the sampling strategy and sampling frame in inclusive and include all the targeted communes for needs assessment. The consultant will need to budget for the logistics, enumerators and supervisors needed to collect quantitative household data as ADRA staff will not be available to assist at this level. Additionally, the consultants will provide the necessary training to these individuals and will conduct the qualitative data collection including focus group discussions and informant interviews.
Assessment Schedule and timeframe:
The consultant will develop a timeline (number of days) for the assessment that would include designing the quantitative and qualitative questionnaires, training enumerators, field work, data collection and cleaning, data analysis, report writing and presenting the assessment findings followed by a refinement stage as needed. The timeline should reflect a period of work beginning in August and terminating 1 week before the end of October 2023. ADRA expects the consultant submit a draft needs assessment report and initial data analysis by September 15, 2023.
All communication from the consultant to the ADRA M&E team will need to be in English, with all deliverables being provided in English as well. Translation of questionnaires for data collection from French/Malagasy-English or other local language will be provided by the consultant.
- Developing data collection plan including survey sample size and methodology
- Developing a quantitative and qualitative questionnaires in consultation with the ADRA technical and M&E teams after the bid is awarded.
- Conducting qualitative data collection including both focus group and key informant interviews
- Conducting a complete quantitative data set based on the survey questions
- Reviewing all the available current project data and BHA reports on food security, as well as secondary sources of data and incorporating the findings into the assessment report
- An interim report completed by first week of data analysis and incorporating and addressing ADRA team members comments/feedback into the report expected in mid-September.
- A final report of quantitative and qualitative surveys and findings
- Presenting the main findings of the assessment to ADRA team members during design workshop
- Submit all the final data sources, tools, datasets and all other relevant documents along with final report to ADRA M&E team.
The consultant should provide a clear estimate of the cost associated with this bid for ADRA’s review. This is a competitive bid process with multiple applicants. However, ADRA maintains the right to select a final consultant based on their technical expertise, proposed methodology and timeline, and ability to deliver the final product. Cost does factor into that decision process, but should not be the main driver/limitation to the consultants proposal.
The proposal prepared by the consultant for this bid should outline all of the information above. We expect the following documents to be shared as part of this proposal:
- Narrative detailing:
- Background and Previous Experience of vulnerability needs assessment with similar USAID RFSA program
- Scope and Purpose of Assessment – How the consultant will accomplish the objectives stated above
- Propose sampling design including methodology for data collection and data analysis
- A timeline of activities showing when they would aim to complete key objectives
- List key team members (if additional team members are supporting the assessment) with their brief background in the humanitarian sector assessments and surveys
- A budget detailing all the costs needed to accomplish the objectives above
- This should include all costs associated both with the consultant themselves and any logistics and staff (numerator) costs
- Samples of previous relevant work (e.g. final reports, quantitative and qualitative tools) USAID RFSA relevant work documents preferred.

9 thoughts on “ Verdun - Various - Furor Gallicum (CDr) ”
Oct 01, · "Paul Jankowski's Verdun is a great book, truly a masterwork of modern literature. On a much studied event (25 percent of all the many French books on World War I have been about the battle of Verdun), he has given us a work of rare originality and creativity. And he has done it with old fashioned virtues of grace and juzpcreamthencatchzenbackmulcidefenquafon.coinfos:

Bullets and clips: You can load individual bullets, but you can also load several bullets at once with a stripper clip, if you have fired enough shots for there to be space. For instance, the Kar98AZ allows.
Verdun currently features an arsenal of 60 weapons. Listed below are all the weapons featured in Verdun along with additional information such as ammo count and attachments. After the success of the Berthier carbines, full-length Berthier rifles were introduced. Lighter and easier to handle and load than the Mle /M93 Lebel rifle, the Berthier rifles proved more suitable for offhand.
The Verdun series consists of deep, somewhat poorly drained, very slowly permeable soils that contain concentrations of sodium in the subsoil. These soils formed in silty deposits of Pleistocene Age. They are on level, terrace uplands.

Well, I’m officially out of words, and again reverting to non-verbal expression. I already tried to interpretively dance the new product post before. That leaves me completely out of options here.

The lines may still be unbearable on Friday evenings and people may be buzzing about the new Whole Foods rooftop greenhousein Brooklyn, but if the stock market is any indication, the megachain isn't doing so well. CNN reports that Whole Foods is the worst performer in the S&P 500 this year.
The store's success may be responsible for its own stock market plummet. After other big grocers saw how hungry customers were for organic, locally made products, they started selling them as well. Now, Whole Foods isn't your only option to find such items. Even discount supermarkets sell them.
But with in-store cooking classes and beer tasting events, Whole Foods is already thinking of ways go beyond just selling healthy foods to take the brand to the next level. Those lines aren't disappearing just yet.

Israel shuts West Bank borders again
Israel has decided to seal off West Bank border crossings from midnight Saturday until midnight Tuesday.
The Israeli army announced on Saturday that the third closure of the past few weeks would be implemented in a region of the West Bank for the duration of this week’s Israeli holidays, the Maan news agency reported.
On Tuesday at midnight the closure will be lifted “in accordance with security assessments,” the Israeli army said in a statement.
Toward the end of March and in the first week of April, Israeli authorities closed all the borders of the West Bank for the Passover and Easter holidays, which are usually celebrated for seven to eight days.
The closure sparked demonstrations by Palestinians in Beit Lehm (Bethlehem), al-Khalil (Hebron), and other towns.
At that time, Palestinian political analyst Haldar Eld told Press TV that Palestinians believe the Jewish holidays are only an excuse for Israel to make life harder for the Palestinians.
“I think this is consistent with Israel’s policies, which have been practiced against the Palestinian people since 1948,” he said.

Vegan ‘Cottage Cheese’ Style Toast
Makes 2-3 portions
The ‘cottage cheese’
1/2 block firm tofu
4 tbsp Nush natural yog
1 tbsp Nush natural almond spread
1/4 lemon, juiced
1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 cup vinegar
1 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
Handful of dill
1/2 cucumber (peeled with a potato peeler)
1 piece sourdough
Salt and pepper
For the pickles, add your water, vinegar, sugar, and salt to a pan on medium heat, allowing the sugar to dissolve, and allowing it to come to a gentle boil.
Leave on medium heat, to allow some of the water to evaporate off – you want the quantity to reduce slightly, so the vinegar is more concentrated.
Whilst your pickle water is reducing, cut your cucumber in half, then use a potato peeler to peel ribbons off your cucumber – once you get to the seeds, this will get harder, so once you’ve peeled about 1/3 of the way down, flip the cucumber over and repeat – there should be only the centre 1/3rd left at the end (which you can eat if you like the middle).
Once you’re happy with the flavour of your pickle brine, set aside and leave to cool off significantly – this should take 10 – 15 minutes, so just set it aside.
Add your cucumber ribbons to a jar, along with a handful of dill, then pour over your cooled pickle brine. Store in the fridge.
Break your tofu into an airtight container with your fingers – you want the chunks to be the size of a pea (aka the size chunks you’d find in cottage cheese.
Once you’ve broken up all your tofu, add the rest of your ingredients and mix well, adjusting to taste.
Refrigerate your ‘cottage cheese’ mixture until ready to serve.
When you’re ready to serve, toast your sourdough, then top with a couple of tablespoons of your creamy spread mixture, a couple of your pickled cucumber ribbons, some fresh dill, a squeeze of lemon juice, and some salt and pepper.
Store the cottage cheese in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, and the pickles for up to 1 month.

We accept wolf/dogs as well. We are generally a very laid back pack, with just some basic rules. We do training for new and old players who need/want it. Training is done in hunting and fighting (even though we avoid fights, they do happen). Also if youre new to wolf roleplay, you can ask one of us to help you get started and if you have any questions about anything, feel free to ask.

The corner plot house, which has been in the architect’s family since the 1950s, was redesigned by Garziano in 2015 to create a new three-dimensional façade, with the aim being to exploit the contrast between light and shadow, as well as improving its energy efficiency.
Largely made up of tessellating diamond shapes, the faceted surface was created using an exterior insulation and finishing system (EIFS). This is a type of external cladding that includes both solid panels and a render topcoat. The additional layer of insulation helps with the building’s heat retention, reducing its overall energy consumption.
The building’s red finish was achieved with an outer coating made from a mix of plaster, paint and resin. Glittering particles were added for the final resin coating, which gives the building its glittery finish.
"Red has the longest wave length of the visible spectrum and can be associated with the longest sound waves that, rather than touching our ears, are felt in the torso. It touches the instincts of the viewer. It is not linear, it is a multi-faceted perception that reaches out from the walls, transforming the residential building into a sculpture.
While most of the interior has been left as it was, a small area has been renovated as a guest apartment. This area’s interior is dominated by geometric patterns in a style similar to the exterior. Storage areas and furniture are integrated into walls that feature a honeycomb-like pattern known as a Voronai tessellation. Garziano has called this room 'The Infection' because of its bacteria-like patterns.

NEW YORK (AP) — A KeyBanc analyst on Friday upgraded Hormel Foods Corp. to "Buy" from "Hold," citing optimism about the company's prospects for growth.
Akshay Jagdale, who also set a $48 price target, said that he came away from recent meetings with Hormel's management feeling more confident about the food company's plans to grow its existing businesses and the profit outlook for its Jennie-O-Turkey store division.
Jagdale added that he still likes the company's recent acquisition of the Skippy peanut butter brand and thinks the deal will highlight the ability of the company's management to revitalize and grow well known brands.
"Hormel has a very good track record of generating consistent growth from iconic brands such as Spam by continuously finding ways to keep the brand relevant amongst its loyal consumer base," Jagdale wrote in a note to investors.
The analyst added that despite recently completing the Skippy deal, he thinks Hormel's strong finances and history of successfully integrating acquisitions makes it a good platform for acquisitions.
Hormel shares finished at $39.82 per share on Thursday. Its shares have pulled back from a 52-week high of $43.17 on May 16. They traded as low as $27.28 in early August 2012.

Taylorsville is the latest in a growing number of Plumas County communities to receive official “Firewise” recognition from the National Fire Protection Association. A core group of community members has been working toward this designation over the past two years.
One of the first Taylorsville Firewise projects was the creation and distribution of over 100 reflective address signs to interested property owners. The Firewise Committee also held several informational sessions during community events, and worked with an individual landowner to support fuel reduction on private property with the help of Sierra Institute’s P-CREW program. The Firewise Committee, led by Sally and Mike Yost, looks forward to engaging more community members in the future.
Why are community members volunteering their efforts to make Taylorsville a Firewise community? Long-time Taylorsville residents and Firewise committee members, Frank Hanson and Doti McDowell, shared their thoughts. “I have lived in Taylorsville my whole life, and worked in the forestry profession all of my working years. I have seen the population change, the environment change and how those two factors interact and change. With the threat of fire so much more prevalent these days with those changes and the community living in a forested drainage adjoining the valley, it was time to try and help people here get the help and results to make our town safer and more secure from fire,” said Frank. His thoughts were echoed by Doti, who got involved because she “wants to see Taylorsville safe from fires.”
Committee member Kelly Tan, owner of Young’s Market, has been helpful in distributing firewire brochures and materials at her store. She also hosts the sign-up board for people who want to order reflective address signs.
Another property owner, Conni Bock, said, “My family has been in Taylorsville for over 50 years. My property backs up to Forest Service land, and I have been recently working hard to thin the forest on our property. We applaud the Firewise committee members and all they have done to make us property owners more aware of fire reduction strategies. We find the time and effort to adequately thin our whole property overwhelming and look forward to working with the community to make us all safer.”
Firewise USA is a voluntary program that provides a framework to help neighbors get organized, find direction, and take action to increase the ignition resistance of their homes and communities. Each resident can get involved by cleaning up flammable materials around their house, talking to their neighbors, or contacting a Firewise committee member to get involved with future community-wide efforts.
In 2013 and again in 2020, Taylorsville residents were advised to be ready to evacuate as a result of threats from wildfires on Mt. Hough. Fortunately, the US Forest Service was able to contain and extinguish both fires.
The Taylorsville Firewise community is aware that unnatural forest fuels buildup and unprecedented climate/weather conditions have combined to create dangerous wildfire conditions. Our goal is to involve the support of all residents to mitigate that threat and increase the fire safety in the entire community.


This week, four U.S. veterans are sharing their experiences of war and service in “The Veterans Project,” a performance initiative designed by Erika Hughes, assistant professor in the School of Film, Dance and Theatre, and Boyd Branch, visiting assistant professor in the School of Film, Dance and Theatre.
Hughes originally came up with the idea for “The Veterans Project” when her younger brother returned from Iraq after being stationed there in 2004. After interacting with her brother, she became particularly interested in the way war and wartime atrocities are remembered through theater, film and other cultural expressions.
“I wanted to create a space for veterans to share their stories so the community could hear and so the vets themselves would have a chance to connect with each other,” said Hughes.
So far, “The Veterans Project” has seen four previous incarnations, with a rotating cast of participants.
This time, after roughly a month of rehearsals, four veterans – Captain Steve Borden, Marcus Denetdale, Karen Pittenger and Joanna Sweatt – are bringing their conversation to the Lyceum Theatre on ASU’s Tempe campus. Notably, all veterans in this production are faculty or staff at Arizona State University; Borden is the director of the Pat Tillman Center.
Borden, Denetdale, Pittenger and Sweatt will sit in a semi-circle alongside a television that will be playing video footage that they can interact with live.
Hughes calls the performance a “curated conversation among the vets.” Branch, who has a background in media design, had the idea of using video as a way to drive this conversation.
For this particular iteration of the project, the two co-creators are joined by a production team of graduate students enrolled in an ethnotheater course this semester.
There’s no censorship, specifically in terms of politics, Hughes cautions, but the group has had ample time to work with one another and become familiar with the topics that may arise over the course of the evening.
Be a part of the conversation at 7:30 p.m., Nov. 13 at the Lyceum Theatre, 901 S. Forest Mall, on ASU’s Tempe campus. The event is free and open to the public.
“The Veterans Project” is supported by ASU Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts, the Pat Tillman Veterans Center, the Office of Veteran Academic Engagement and the School of Film, Dance and Theatre.

The Logitech G933 Artemis Spectrum is the successor the the extremely popular G930 headset by Logitech with remarkable upgrades and high-end wireless features. The headset is marketed towards gamers and offers a 7.1 Surround Sound listening experience.
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pro Great software for customization and tweaking
The Logitech G933 Artemis features adjustable lighting, you can choose a RGB-color of your choosing in the software suite for the headset. You can also adjust the equalizer, surround settings, and you can allocate shortcuts and macro's to programmable buttons on the left ear cup of the headset.
Pro Exceptional wireless range and stability
The G933 Artemis is praised for its extremely long wireless range, up to 30 feet indoors and even 40 feet outdoors. Stability is also excellent: the wireless functionality doesn't distort the audio quality at all.
Pro Feels sturdy and comfortable
The headset is quite sturdy and has an aggressive exterior, but offers decent comfort for users. Build quality is also excellent. The grip on your ears is definitely present - but unlike some other heavier headsets, it's beneficial to the experience. The ear cups can also be removed and are washable.
Pro Offers clean, directional, crisp audio
The G933 Artemis is impressive in terms of sound quality, and the directional audio in particular. There are also multiple settings for the Virtual 7.1 Surround Sound, as the headset is compatible with Headphone X software and Dolby Digital.
Con Microphone performance is disappointing
The included microphone of the headset isn't terrible, but it's definitely a bit disappointing for a wireless headset in this price range. Voices have a hollow touch when recorded, which makes it seem a bit unnatural.
Con Doesn't last long on a battery charge
The battery life of the G933 Artemis is average at best. In most cases, the headset will last around 12 hours. However, actual battery life may vary depending on the adjustable lightning, in some cases a full charge will only last 8 hours. The battery is removable.

Dog behaviour problems often take time, knowledge and a good deal of patience to resolve. Anything which might help a little bit, take a bit of an edge off or help the dog to be calmer, has to be a good thing. And that I think is the best way to see the Adaptil Collar. It’s highly unlikely that you’ll put the collar on your dog and suddenly everything is wonderful.
If you’re not familiar with Adaptil, it essentially aims to replicate the ‘comforting messages’ that a mother dog releases to comfort her litter through dog appeasing pheromones. No matter your dog’s age, they still have the same calming effect, at least that’s the claim that Adaptil makes.
The Adaptil collar makes more sense to us than the diffusers. They’re on the dog and go everywhere with the dog to provide that continual effect. Just remember to remove if you need to shampoo your dog for any reason. The collar lasts for four weeks and you might have to wait for around seven days before you see any difference.
The collar is though all about relieving stress, so lack of training, medically based problems, anything not stress related, it’s not going to help.
What’s The Evidence For Adaptil?
Well, it’s a bit mixed. There’s certainly research which seems to support the effectiveness of Adaptil. From noise sensitive Beagles to reducing the anxiety of kenneled dogs to those scared of fireworks Adaptil seems to help. That said there is equally research which indicates that there were very limited positive benefits through its use.
What I’ve found is that overall, most of the time, it does seem to help but that to resolve the issue it needs to be accompanied by a behavioural programme. So, worst case scenario, you’re around £17.00 down but it also might just help that extra little bit to make a big difference.

> Suggestion for next year:
> No remakes. They're easy high scoring games and take the strategy out of it.
We discussed this earlier in the year, but my memory sucks so I don't even remember where we landed on this. I'm guessing by the negs that folks want to keep remakes in? I'm not fussed either way. But I think as long as it's built from the ground up, it should qualify. I look at 2023 and there are only 3 high-profile remakes that come to mind. Sure RE4 will probably slay, but FF7 Remake may or may not come out which makes it a risky pick and then there's Dead Space which could be good, but it's EA so who really knows.
