Improve your vegan cooking: 5 methods to enhance your rice
Rice is among the best substances to prepare dinner—particularly when you have a rice cooker! All you want is rice and water. However if you need rice with a little bit bit further, say, pizazz, there are issues you are able to do to take this straightforward aspect to the subsequent degree. Listed here are a few of our high ideas for enhancing your rice cooking expertise.
1 Cook dinner with wine
In dishes like risotto and pilaf, rice is usually cooked with wine, which helps to deliver acidity to the dish, enhancing the general taste. The kind of wine is dependent upon the context of the dish—in case you’re going for a creamy white rice dish, go for white wines, like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio. In the event you’re going for a heartier tomato-based dish, select a crimson wine, like a merlot or pinot noir.
2 Stir in recent herbs and spices
Stirring some herbs and spices into your rice may also help so as to add extra depth of taste to your dish, and create an appetizing aroma, too. One other profit is the added dietary worth: herbs and spices, like rosemary and turmeric, are sometimes wealthy in antioxidants, for instance, and may additionally be anti-inflammatory.
3 Add olive oil
Subsequent time you’re cooking rice, add a drizzle of olive oil to the water to assist loosen up the grains and cease them from sticking collectively. It additionally prevents foaming, and provides a nice delicate, barely nutty taste, too.
4 Cook dinner with vegan butter
Just like olive oil, including some vegan butter to your rice whereas it cooks may also help to enhance the general texture, leading to a smoother, fluffier-looking rice. However it could possibly additionally add a scrumptious ingredient of creamy, nutty taste to the dish, too.
5 Add crumbled vegan meat
In the event you’re cooking fried rice, otherwise you merely need to add some protein to your aspect dish, think about including some vegan rooster strips, tofu, and even bacon crumbles into the combo. It transforms a easy aspect dish right into a protein-packed, scrumptious meal that may stand by itself, with or with no fundamental.

In schools, there are plenty of rules and regulations. Some help students, teachers, and the educational environment. Others, not so much. Join hosts Tyler Simpson and Leo Hilton as they discuss the latter of these two situations, when policy hinders education instead of helping students to learn. Or other words, the failure of school policy.
Joined by fellow Blunt member Gaby Ferrell as she discusses her experiences with school bullying policies in her piece entitled: “Snitches get Stitches,” and Blunt member Christian Yombe in his commentary regarding “reasonable suspicion” policies in schools.
01 Failure of School Policy
01 Drug Use and Drinking
Drinking and drug abuse are commonly assumed aspects of teen culture, but how prevalent are they? Hosts Isaac High and Lucy Tabb take on this difficult topic with guest Dave C., a member of Al-Anon –a support network similar to Alcoholics Anonymous for the families and friends of alcoholics. And with the newly approved legislation in Portland, Maine on the legalization of small ammounts of marijuana, Isaac and Lucy discuss the impact this has on local youth with Anthony Zeni, one of the organizers of this month’s marijuana legalization campaign in Portland, and Dave Marshall, a city council member involved in the marijuana legalization efforts.
01 Dress Code
Join hosts Gaby Ferrell and Izzy Terracciano discuss dress codes–why they exist, how they’re enforced, and what they accomplish– and how the path to student dress code leads to slut-shaming, victim-blaming, and rape culture. With guests Kim Bennett, an assistant principal at South Portland High School and dress code enforcer, along with local high school students. And, a speacial commentary from reporter Milena Germon.

The Czechoslovakia Coup
During the winter of 1947-48, both in the cabinet and in parliament tension between the Communists and their opponents led to increasingly bitter conflict.
In early February 1948, the Communist minister of the interior, Václav Nosek, illegally extended his powers by attempting to purge remaining non-Communist elements in the National Police Force; the security apparatus and police were being transformed into instruments of the KSČ, endangering basic civic freedoms. On February 12, the non-Communists in the cabinet demanded punishment for the offending Communists in the government and an end to this subversion but Nosek, backed by Gottwald, refused; he and his fellow Communists threatened to use force and, in order to avoid defeat in parliament, mobilised groups of their supporters in the country. On February 21, twelve non-Communist ministers resigned in protest after Nosek refused to reinstate eight non-Communist senior police officers despite a majority vote of the cabinet in favour of doing so. They assumed that President Beneš would refuse to accept their resignations, keeping them in a caretaker government and in the process embarrassing the Communists enough to make them yield. Beneš initially insisted that no new government could be formed which did not include ministers from the non-Communist parties. However, an atmosphere of mounting tension, coupled with massive Communist-led demonstrations occurring throughout the country, convinced Beneš to remain neutral over the issue, for fear the KSČ foment an insurrection and give the Red Army a pretext to invade the country and restore order. Had Beneš held his line, Gottwald's ministers would not have been able to form a government, the only non-violent means of crisis resolution being to give way to the non-Communists or to risk defeat in early elections which the KSČ did not have time to rig. The non-Communists saw this as a moment of opportunity, needing to act quickly before the interior ministry had total control over the police and hampered the free electoral process.
While the non-Communist ministers seemed to behave as if this was just an old-fashioned pre-1939 governmental crisis, the Communists were mobilizing from below. To help them do this the Soviet Ambassador, Valerian Zorin, arrived in Prague to arrange a coup. Armed militia and police took over Prague; Communist demonstrations were mounted; an anti-Communist student demonstration was broken up. The ministries of the non-Communist ministers were occupied, civil servants dismissed and the ministers prevented from entering their own ministries. The army was confined to barracks and did not interfere. Communist "Action Committees" and trade union militias were quickly set up, armed, and sent into the streets, as well as being prepared to carry through a purge of anti-Communists. In a speech before 100,000 of these people, Gottwald threatened a general strike unless Beneš agreed to form a new Communist-dominated government. Zorin at one point offered the services of the Red Army, camped on the country's borders, but Gottwald declined the offer, understanding that the threat of violence combined with heavy political pressure was enough to force Beneš to act according to plan. As he said after the coup, Beneš "knows what strength is, and this led him to evaluate this [situation] realistically".
On February 25, 1948, Beneš, fearful of civil war and Soviet intervention, capitulated and appointed a KSČ-dominated government under Gottwald's leadership; this was sworn in two days later. The only important portfolio held by a non-Communist was foreign affairs, which went to Jan Masaryk, who was however found dead two weeks later. (The presence of Masaryk and a few other non-Communists gave the government the façade of being a National Front.) Consumed by these events, Beneš resigned in June and was succeeded by Gottwald. He died in September, bringing a symbolic close to the sequence of events, and was buried before an enormous and silent throng come to mourn the passing of a popular leader and of the democracy he had come to represent.
Many important issues were discussed amongst the Allied leaders during the wartime conferences of World War II. Unfortunately, many of the agreements made at these historic conferences were broken in the postwar years. The events that led up to the Czechoslovakian coup of 1948 exemplifies this sad fact perfectly.
Eastern Europe became an issue for the Allied leaders to discuss when the Soviet army began to occupy this area in 1944. Many proposals of how these states would be administered were considered. One plan was Winston Churchill's, which called for the region to be divided into spheres of influence similar to how Germany was divided. Churchill was also a proponent of the plan to allow the governments-in-exile of these nations (that were operating in London at the time) to return to power in their homeland once the war was over.

A major trade seemed to light a fire under the Florida Panthers.
While a separate, less-prominent deal by the Montreal Canadiens likely won't have the same effect, coach Jacques Martin's team could surely use a spark.
The Panthers begin a three-game road trip Monday (7:30 p.m. ET) against the Canadiens, who will try to avoid losing six straight for the first time in more than four years.
Hoping to shake things up after suffering 3-0 defeats to Washington and Buffalo earlier last week, Florida (4-3-0) sent left wing David Booth, centre Steve Reinprecht and a third-round pick in the 2013 draft to Vancouver on Saturday in exchange for veteran forwards Mikael Samuelsson and Marco Sturm.
"A lot of things come into play," general manager Dale Tallon said.
"We're in the performance business and I was not happy with our team's performance, especially the [previous] two games. I wasn't going to sit still and let this fester and I want to send a message and I want to make changes and I want to get better. We felt as far as an organization we get two top NHL players."
The move seemed to give the Panthers a mental boost before the new acquisitions even arrived. They defeated the New York Islanders 4-2 hours after announcing the trade behind a goal and two assists from center Shawn Matthias.
Montreal (1-4-2) is coming off its fifth straight defeat after blowing three one-goal leads during Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to Toronto.
The Canadiens, who haven't dropped six in a row since Feb. 6-17, 2007, have converted just one of 20 power-play opportunities during their 0-3-2 skid.
"The leadership group in this team is extremely important. It's crucial to have their feedback in this situation, and with guys like [Brian] Gionta, [Hal] Gill, [Travis] Moen and [Josh] Gorges, you really couldn't ask for a more invested group of individuals," Martin told the team's official website. "They're really taking things to heart, and they're really disappointed after a tough loss like last night's. Now, we have a day to rebuild ourselves, refocus, and make sure that we come back Monday night with an even stronger performance and better execution."
Montreal made a minor move Sunday, acquiring center Petteri Nokelainen and minor league defenceman Garrett Stafford from Phoenix in exchange for centre Brock Trotter and a seventh-round pick in 2012.
That trade isn't likely to provide any immediate relief for a Canadiens team stumbling on both sides of the ice. Montreal is tied for 25th in the NHL with a 3.29 goals-against average and has been held to either one goal or none four times in seven games.
According to reports after Monday's morning skate, the Habs will start Peter Budaj in net.
Florida goaltender Jose Theodore, originally drafted by Montreal in 1994, isn't likely to face his former club.
Theodore stopped eight of 10 shots in the first two periods against the Islanders before he was replaced by Jacob Markstrom, who turned away all 18 shots in the third to earn his first career win.
"As a backup goalie, that's your job — to always be prepared if something happens," Markstrom said.

There hasn’t been much of 2019 yet, but I predict that last night’s Julia Holter gig at the Tuning Fork in Auckland, NZ will surely remain a contender for show of the year, and definitely takes that title so far. Bristolian punks IDLES set a very high bar a few nights earlier with a triumphant performance at the same venue, but the intricate musicality, attention to detail, and flawless delivery made Holter’s set one of the best musical experiences I’ve had in a very long time.
Of course, the potential for the night’s greatness was already clear long before the start... laid out in full on Holter’s brilliant Aviary released last year. The material on the double album is already stellar. Yet I was still curious as to how an album that lengthy, atmospheric, and densely orchestrated would be recreated or reinterpreted on as intimate a stage as the Tuning Fork. Having resisted looking at recent set-lists from past shows online... I wasn’t sure if the L.A. artist would tackle the more abstract, impressionistic pieces on Aviary, or stick to the more direct (by comparison) and rhythmic songs from its predecessor, 2015’s breakthrough Have You In My Wilderness.
Before I got to find out, I caught the opening set from Ryan McPhun of Auckland’s The Ruby Suns. His backing tracks were nicely produced electronic-tinged bedroom pop, but his performance was undermined by what seemed to be an off vocal night. He often seemed to have trouble hitting notes, and things weren’t helped by a terrible mix and dodgy microphone, which buried both the vocals and guitar.
Things were helped when he was joined onstage by drummer Daniel Ward and bassist James Milne, a.k.a. Lawrence Arabia (I knew I’d seen McPhun’s blue jumpsuit somewhere before, worn by Milne at a gig), but overall it was an unfortunately underwhelming opening.
Thankfully no such sound issues plagued the headliner. In fact, the sound for Julia Holter was fantastic - as it needed to be, considering the nature of the music and the blend of instruments on stage.
Holter, standing dead centre at her keyboard, was joined by Devin Hoff (double bass), Corey Fogel (drums), Dina Maccabee (violin), Tashi Wada (bagpipe/synths), and Sarah Belle Reid (trumpet and brass), the six-piece core of the band behind Aviary. As this lineup predicted, and to my pleasant surprise, the set was almost entirely drawn from that album, and the group didn’t shy away at all from delivering its lengthiest, dreamiest and most densely orchestrated pieces note-perfectly.
Both the ambition of the set and the degree to which Holter and her band triumphed with this material blew me away. The first five songs, all from Aviary, included the mellow tracks Chaitius and Colligere, both built on beautifully sparse and perfectly judged contributions from all players.
I was particularly taken by the rich soundscapes which the relatively small group so perfectly recreated in a live setting. The trumpet and horn blended fantastically with the violin, both set adrift in gorgeous reverb and utilised for all sorts of different sonic effects. When the bagpipes were thrown into the mix, the wall of sound went from dreamy and ambient to full and dramatic quickly.
Voce Simul stripped things down to just Holter with her piano and abstract vocalisations and some beautiful textural trumpet playing. Underneath The Moon opened with all players improvising free sounds on their instruments before developing into a tribal stomp that showcased the brilliance of the restrained drummer and percussionist. It was one of those stages that glowed with the presence of six musicians perfectly in control of their individual and collective craft, with Holter standing in the middle like a calm ringleader.
Her vocals were as compelling as on record, judging when to hit high notes and when to slide unexpectedly around them. I was surprised at how well she pulled off the more “unusual” phonetic vocal performances from Aviary.
Only four songs were played that predated the recent album, all of which came from 2015’s Have You In My Wilderness, and which served as nice breaks of more direct songwriting - particularly Silhouette and the audience favourite Feel You, one of many set highlights.
Julia Holter’s set has it all - the unique material, the combination of incredible individual musicians, the masterful musical planning and arrangements, the sheer ambition to play this material in these arrangements, and most importantly the sense that, just as on record, Holter has the ability to realise her ambitious musical visions exactly as she wants them to be, down to the smallest detail.
After closing with I Shall Love 2 and a warm speech of appreciation for her band and the audience, Holter returned for two more treats - the eerie stunner Why Sad Song and the gorgeous Betsy On The Roof, which closed the night with Holter’s greatest vocal-and-piano performance of one of her best melodies.
- I Shall Love 1
- Les Jeux To You
- Voce Simul
- Underneath The Moon
- I Would Rather See
- Feel You
- Words I Heard
- Sea Calls Me Home
- I Shall Love 2
- Why Sad Song
- Betsy On The Roof

From The American Thinker, by Bruce Walker
Hillary's flacks maintain that she has no serious health problems, but there is an increasingly public amount of evidence that they are lying. Her coughing fits, for example, have gone on for minutes during interviews and speeches and debates. The leftist establishment media has totally ignored this running story, but there is one venue in which her uncontrollable coughing and hacking cannot be hidden from the American people: the presidential debates.
Because her health seems to getting worse all the time and because she has never appeared in a nationally televised presidential debate (indeed, even her few debates with Bernie Sanders were scheduled to avoid large audiences) the stress of standing before 100 million or so Americans watching her live should make the chances of her descending into minutes of coughing, gagging, and hacking while the world watches very real.
What happens then?

During its 44 years under colonial rule, Morocco served as a petri dish for experiments in modernism by French architects and planners like Jean-François Zevaco and Michel Ecochard. Today, 38-year-old architect Mohamed Amine Siana attempts to reconcile traditional North African architecture with that movement’s imposition on the built environment, in both public and residential buildings. “I try to find a solution to the schizophrenia of our culture in Morocco,” he says. “We are forced to find a language to create a contextual modernism.”
Siana did not intend to become an architect, but his father strongly encouraged him to apply to the National School of Architecture in Rabat, from which he graduated in 2004. For him, the discipline came to represent an expression of culture, people, and sociological behavior. At school, he met classmates Saad El Kabbaj and Driss Kettani, and, over a period of eight years, they pooled resources to work together on the design of three OPEC-funded universities located in Morocco’s tertiary cities of Taroudant, Guelmim, and Laayoune. Each campus comprises a collection of low-rise cubic buildings arrayed around a central axis for the circulation of students and faculty. The schools also share a material palette—distinct rough-hewn ochre cement facades reference the rammed earth used in a medieval city wall at Taroudant, where the architects received their first joint commission.
Limited budgets and the extreme Saharan climate constrained their designs and forced the trio to explore how traditional Berber and Arab architecture contended with desert winds and heat. Research into Arabic medina city planning inspired their inclusion of courtyard gardens typical of the traditional Moroccan house, or riad, within cellular clusters of buildings grouped off the campus’s main axis. To further defend against the sun’s rays, classroom buildings are windowless on the east and west facades. Conversely, courtyard-facing ventilating windows on their north and south facades bring in the gardens’ cooling air. Remarkably, the buildings possess no air-conditioning in a climate that sometimes reaches 118 degrees Fahrenheit. Siana maintains that use of brise-soleils and deeply inset porticos and windows help shield the buildings from sand and sun, and also encourage exploration, creating a sense of mystery through “a vocabulary of hidden spaces.”
Siana established his own practice in 2007. He expands and contracts his staff to adapt the level of expertise and work needed to each commission. Villa Z, his recent residential project in Casablanca, incorporates the passive ventilation learned from the university projects but breaks with those buildings’ rigorous right-angled formalism. Its street-facing blind wall facade undulates, folds in on itself, and juts out like a sharp shard, while windows on the opposite side open to a swimming pool through a double- story shaded portico—an expressive example of how the medina’s inward-facing logic doesn’t have to be closed off to new interpretations.

Electric cars are popping up everywhere. In 2012, the Tesla Model S and Nissan LEAF were curiosities. Today, the US marketplace is brimming with EVs from Ford, Volkswagen, Hyundai, Kia, and Volvo, with GM and Nissan set to join the party later this year. In China, there are more electric car brands and models than you can shake a stick at and in Europe, PSA Group and Stellantis offer more electric car models. Even Toyota appears poised to drop its hydrogen fuel cell plans and hop on the EV bandwagon — at long last.
The more electric cars come to market, the more the people who stand to be the biggest losers from the EV revolution (that would be the oil companies) are ramping up their attacks on them. The latest tactic is to claim the emissions associated with mining the materials needed to make EV batteries are so huge that any claim about them being environmentally friendly is false.
In Australia, the federal government has been shrieking about how electric cars will ruin the weekend for Australian families because they can’t drive very far and can’t tow things like boats and caravans. The despicable ScoMo and his henchmen are warning Aussies that EVs mean the end of their beloved utes — which is basically how you say “pickup truck” in Australian. Are any of these lies accurate? Let’s take a look.
The EV Supply Chain Emissions Lie
Research conducted by the Yale School of Environment and published recently in the journal Nature Communications addressed the claim that when supply chain emissions for electric cars and emissions from generating electricity to power them are combined, the environmental advantages of electric vehicles disappear. In fact, the detractors argue, EVs are actually worse for the environment than internal combustion vehicles!
How can that be? Well, EV batteries require a lot of nickel, lithium, and cobalt. More EVs means more mining and we all know mining is a dirty business. More mining means more emissions, right? Not only that, electric cars need electricity (there’s a shocker, huh?) and a lot of electricity comes from burning coal, so more electricity means more emissions. It’s as plain as the face on your nose!
Those are the sorts of claims the Yale researchers dug into. Here’s what they found. “The surprising element was how much lower the emissions of electric vehicles were,” says postdoctoral associate Stephanie Weber. “The supply chain for combustion vehicles is just so dirty that electric vehicles can’t surpass them, even when you factor in indirect emissions.”
The research team combined concepts from energy economics and industrial ecology — carbon pricing, life cycle assessment, and modeling energy systems — to find if carbon emissions were still reduced when indirect emissions from the electric vehicle supply chain were factored in.
“A major concern about electric vehicles is that the supply chain, including the mining and processing of raw materials and the manufacturing of batteries, is far from clean,” says Yale economics professor Ken Gillingham. “So, if we priced the carbon embodied in these processes, the expectation is electric vehicles would be exorbitantly expensive. It turns out that’s not the case. If you level the playing field by also pricing the carbon in the fossil fuel vehicle supply chain, electric vehicle sales would actually increase.” Not surprisingly, the researchers found that the more the electrical grid is decarbonized, the greater the advantage EVs have over conventional cars.
The research team gathered data using a National Energy Modeling System created by the Energy Information Administration, which models the entire US energy system. According to lead researcher Paul Wolfram, “The elephant in the room is the supply chain of fossil fuel-powered vehicles, not that of electric vehicles.” He adds that the faster we switch to electric vehicles, the better, especially in countries with a significant supply of renewable electricity such as the U.S. The researchers conclude:
“While it is expected that direct emissions of BEVs are lower than those of ICEVs, it is surprising that in fact non–tailpipe emissions are also lower. This sheds new light on the current public debate about ‘dirty’ batteries and electricity. In fact, the simultaneous reduction of both direct and indirect emissions indicates a win–win situation for climate change mitigation, meaning that climate policy with very high shares of BEVs represents a no–regrets strategy in terms of emissions (but only if electricity continues to decarbonize as has been assumed in our main scenarios).”
Fossil fuel apologists are always yapping about what they want is a level playing field. But they never talk about the massive damage extracting oil and methane does to the Earth, the trillions in direct and indirect subsidies they get from governments around the world every year, or the egregious impact the use of their products has on human health. In other words, the last thing they want is a level playing field where all the facts are known so people and governments can make rational decisions.
In simplest terms, they lie through their teeth because they want to protect their massive profits regardless of the cost to society. It’s a “heads we win, tails you lose” strategy designed to throw sand in the gears of change in order to preserve their planet-killing business practices for as long as possible. These people should be in jail for crimes against humanity, not rewarded with a fat bonus for destroying the Earth.
We “Ruined The Weekend” Movement In Australia
Speaking of crimes against humanity, Australia’s prime minister Scott Morrison and his evil band of underlings are among the worst offenders. According to The Driven, in 2019, ScoMo and his band came up with a gigantic lie to counter an initiative by the Labor party to support the EV revolution. They screamed that EVs would “ruin the weekend” for many because electric cars have a short range and require hours and hours to recharge. They also suggested the EV movement would spell the end of the utes Australians depend on to earn a living. Telling an Aussie the government is coming for his ute is like telling someone in northern Idaho the government is coming for his bazooka. It’s a visceral appeal that strikes at the heart of his testosterone fueled concept of what it means to be a man.
Humans are interesting characters, though. Australian EV drivers have taken Morrison’s words and flung them back in his face, posting online about how their adventures all across the country in their EVs have “ruined their weekend” — over and over again. One intrepid EVer even posted that his EV “ruined” his entire vacation week as he traipsed merrily from one holiday destination to another. An “I Ruined The Weekend” Facebook page now has over 500 members who share their electric car exploits online.
After a 1000-kilometer trek along the coast in Western Australia in her Tesla Model 3, Katrin Swindell posted,
“Another weekend ruined, driving a total of 980km for a night in Bremer Bay which was overcast but beautiful. 2 charging stops each way at the Williams Tesla fast charger and the Katanning visitors center charger which gave us time for brunch/lunch and then a pot of tea/coffee and a chance to stretch our legs. I can confirm that the battery has better range than my bladder 🥺. Total cost of charging was $18 at Katanning, rest was free. Bremer Bay Resort provides free Tesla charging and we still have Tesla charging credits we are using at the fast chargers.”
Jay Smith posted, “Why ruin the weekend when you can ruin a whole week?! Great to test out some of the new public EV fast chargers between Mildura and Melbourne last week.” Aussies have an amazing sense of humor. Perhaps in the next election they will get the last laugh on the repugnant Morrison and sweep him and his entourage into history’s dustbin where they belong.
It is sad to think that some small minded people would actually spend precious time attacking electric vehicles, but it just goes to show if you pay people enough, they will say anything. Truth is of no concern to these lowlifes. But if you read CleanTechnica, you have been inoculated against such poison. Go forth! Spread the word! Driving an electric car is normal, it’s fun, it’s socially responsible, and it’s going mainstream faster than anyone ever thought possible a decade ago. Drive electric. Be happy!

BEAUREGARD PARISH, LA (KPLC) - A special investigative audit by the Louisiana Legislative Auditor's Office targets the alleged theft of school funds by a former bookkeeper at East Beauregard High School.
The audit, which was made public on Friday afternoon, states that former bookkeeper, Sharon Bushnell, "may have violated state law" when she took the funds, totaling $147,648, from the school's activity funds, between June 2, 2005 and May 31, 2013.
According to the Beauregard Parish Sheriff's Office, Bushnell, 67, of Dry Creek, was arrested Friday and booked on a felony theft charge. Bond was set at $25,000.
"Business records for the Beauregard Parish School System (BPSS) show $147,648 of school activity funds (funds) were collected by Ms. Bushnell between June 2, 2005 and May 31, 2013, that were not deposited into the East Beauregard High School (EBHS) checking account designated for these funds. We identified the $147,648 of funds by comparing the amount of funds recorded on receipts signed by Ms. Bushnell to the amount of deposits into the EBHS checking account for the period June 2, 2005 to May 31, 2013," the audit states.
"As the bookkeeper at East Beauregard High School, Ms. Bushnell's job duties included collecting funds, entering collection information (dates and amounts) into the electronic accounting system, generating and signing receipts, making deposits of funds, and performing monthly bank reconciliations of the EBHS checking account. According to Ms. Bushnell, after she collected the funds, issued a receipt, and entered the receipts into the accounting system, she took a portion of these funds each month for her personal use. Ms. Bushnell further stated that she hid the missing funds by altering the accounting system records every month before reconciling the EBHS checking account," the audit continues.
The audit says Bushnell used the funds to pay for medical bills for her spouse "and to provide support for members of her household."
State auditors recommended that the school system seek recovery of the funds and implement changes to further secure bookkeeping at the school.
You can view the full audit HERE. It also includes a "management's response" from the school system.
In addition, on Friday, Superintendent of Schools Tim Cooley issued the following statement on the matter to the media:
"On June 24, 2013, the principal of East Beauregard High School reported that he had discovered some School Activity Fund discrepancies which indicated a possible misappropriation of funds. I immediately contacted the Beauregard Parish Sheriff's Department to begin an investigation. The Beauregard Parish Sheriff's Department also corroborated a possible misappropriation of funds. I then requested an independent audit of the EBHS School Activity Fund accounts by the Investigative Audit Division of the Louisiana Legislative Auditor's office. It is a conclusion of this audit that will be forthcoming that indicated misappropriation of funds over $147,000.00 resulting from bookkeeping manipulations over an eight year time frame. It is always tragic when there are allegations that a trusted employee has violated that trust by misappropriating public funds. The matter is now in the hands of the Beauregard Parish Sheriff's Department for such further actions as may be appropriate."

Well, ladies and gentlespoons the ale went off without a hitch. There follows a write up nothing to do with the Ale (I haven’t got a round tuit. If anyone has a spare tuit, especially a round one please pass it on to me!)
The Lassington Giant
LASSINGTON; It is one of Gloucester’s little neighbour by the Leadon, its farmyard church still keeping stones in its walls.
The base of the tower is Saxon, the rest of it Norman, and although the nave and chancel were made new in the 19th century both have still some of their ancient masonry. The arches of the porch and the chancel are Norman, decorated by the Normans with zigzag and by our English masons with ballflower of the 14th century. There is a fine oak pulpit of 1636, carved with roses and leaves, and an ancient coffin under a churchyard elm.
By the churchyard gate is a giant elm over 20 feet round, and near it a pathway runs across the fields up the hillside to a little wood where reigns another giant, the famous Lassington Oak. This venerable monarch, thought to be over 600 tears old, has a girth of 30 feet, but its arms have grown weary over the years and are supported by twenty props.
As we leave the hilltop wood a marvellous vista is revealed, with Gloucester in front of us and the spires of Cheltenham fading into the blue Cotswolds beyond.
Taken from The King’s England; Gloucestershire (April 1950)
Unfortunately the Oak is no longer standing. This year after the ale we took a mini pilgrimage out to Highnam woods to view what is left of the once mighty oak.

Gurugram child dies of dengue: Haryana govt panel blames Fortis Hospital of 'grave negligence', fleecing parents
Vij said the rules provided for informing the local Civil Hospital about any dengue patient, which Fortis Hospital did not do
Chandigarh: A committee set up by the Haryana government to investigate the death of a seven-year-old child in a Gurugram hospital has found it guilty on various counts and a case would be registered against it, a Minister said on Wednesday.
The high-level probe panel had found Fortis Hospital in Gurugram guilty of "grave negligence, lapse, unethical and unlawful acts in the death of Adya Singh in September", Haryana Health Minister Anil Vij told the media in Chandigarh.
He said the government will get a case registered against the leading private hospital, adding that legal opinion was being sought on how it could be done.
"A notice has been issued for the cancellation of the licence of the hospital's blood bank. The Haryana Urban Development Authority will also be requested to explore the possibility of cancellation of the lease of land given to the hospital," Vij said.
"The action has been taken in view of the committee report which found irregularities in the hospital functioning. The girl's parents have also recorded their statements before the committee," Vij said.
The Health Department had constituted a committee under the chairmanship of Additional Director General Dr Rajiv Wadhera.
The case made national headlines in November after revelations that Fortis issued a bill of nearly Rs 16 lakh to the bereaved family even though she had died due to dengue-related complications.
Vij said the report said the minor girl was admitted in the paediatrics intensive care unit of Fortis Hospital from August 31 to September 14.
"During this period, the hospital not only violated diagnosis protocol, but also ignored rules and regulations of the Indian Medical Association. In this direction, a letter has been written to the Medical Council of India for taking appropriate action. He said hospital administration deliberately used expensive medicines rather than generic and affordable ones to treat the girl in violation of IMA norms."
Vij said the rules provided for informing the local Civil Hospital about any dengue patient, which Fortis Hospital did not do.
"The Gurugram Civil Surgeon has issued a notice to Fortis Hospital. Its doctors also carried out transfusion of platelets 25 times and there was overcharging on this count. So, orders have been issued to cancel the hospital's blood bank licence," the Minister said.
"Serious irregularities vis-a-vis the shifting of the child to some other hospital have also come to the fore. As per IMA guidelines, advance life support ambulance should have been provided but hospital only provided her with a basic life support ambulance that lacked oxygen and other basic facilities. The parents told the probe committee that hospital authorities forged their signatures on the consent letter," Vij added.
The Minister said the government will write to the Medical Council of India to act against the erring doctors.
Vij said costly medicines were used when cheaper substitutes were available in the Fortis pharmacy, adding that the hospital overcharged on every count of treatment.
He said the hospital made hefty profits on the medicines given, which worked out between 108 per cent and as high as 1,737 per cent in certain cases.
Former Indian women volleyball team captain Nirmal Kaur, who is the wife of sprint legend Milkha Singh, passed away at a Mohali hospital after a three-week fight with COVID-19.
The administering of the vaccine at Indraprastha Apollo, Madhukar Rainbow Children's Hospital, and Fortis hospital in Delhi has been delayed for some days, officials said
The yoga guru had earlier stirred a controversy with his comments on the efficacy of allopathic drugs against COVID-19, drawing the ire of the medical fraternity

Kennedy's blues: African-American blues and gospel songs on JFK
Kennedy's Blues: African American Blues and Gospel Songs on JFK collects in a single volume the blues and gospel songs written by African Americans about the presidency of John F. Kennedy and offers a close analysis of Kennedy's hold upon the African American imagination. These blues and gospel songs have never been transcribed and analyzed in a systematic way, so this volume provides a hitherto untapped source on the perception of one of the most intriguing American presidents.
After eight years of Republican rule the young Democratic president received a warm welcome from African Americans. However, with the Cold War military draft and the slow pace of civil rights measures, inspiration temporarily gave way to impatience.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Medgar Evers, the March on Washington, the groundbreaking civil rights bill--all found their way into blues and gospel songs. The many blues numbers devoted to the assassination and the president's legacy are evidence of JFK's near-canonization by African Americans. Blues historian Guido van Rijn shows that John F. Kennedy became a mythical hero to blues songwriters despite what was left unaccomplished.
Guido van Rijn is teacher of English at Kennemer Lyceum in Overveen, the Netherlands. His previous books include The Truman and Eisenhower Blues: African American Blues and Gospel Songs, 1945-1960.

Fort Worth Public Art - When Air Becomes Sky
The Animalis Works team, artists Dharmesh Patel and Autumn Ewalt, was inspired by the
revitalization and conservation of Northwest Community Park as an ecosystem. Particularly
interested in its reemergence as a stopping point on the migration route of the monarch
butterflies, the team designed a series of larger-than-life butterfly sculptures. Each
beautiful butterfly sculpture calls to mind this migration, encapsulating the energy and
vibrance of nature.
Placed along two trails each butterfly appears to have just landed, inviting viewers to
interact with the work while exploring the park. The sculptures hold a total of
approximately 6500 embedded crystal prisms which are activated by sunlight throughout
the day, casting colorful patterns of refracted light on passersby. This alludes to the
fluttering of butterfly wings while also providing park patrons a unique experience each
time the sculptures are visited.
City of Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price joined hundreds of mayors across the U.S. in support
of the monarch butterfly and other pollinators, whose populations have declined, by
signing the National Wildlife Federation's Mayors' Monarch Pledge. Just last year, Fort
Worth was named a Monarch Butterfly Champion City by the program, one of only four cities
in North America who have earned such a distinction. Learn more about the City's continued
efforts to support monarchs.
This project was funded by the 2014 bond program. We look forward to dedicating this
artwork to the City of Fort Worth later this year.

DANA POINT – An abundant number of blue whales are being spotted lunge-feeding across the ocean’s surface off the coast of South County beaches – a sight rarely witnessed.
The feeding frenzy has been going on during high and low tides off and on this week. Krill swimming at the surface brought there possibly by current upwelling have given resident whales like Hook, Nacho Grande and Delta a virtual all-you-can-eat buffet. Boat captains have watched the whales swim into floating fields of krill, open their jaws and scoop their required daily 4 tons of food.
“They’ll swim along the surface skimming for krill,” said Dave Anderson, who operates Capt. Dave’s Dolphin & Whale Watching Safari. “The water pressure opens pleats under their jaw, and they end up looking like a big, pregnant guppy. It is very dramatic and normally hidden from view during their deep dives, but a few times a year our passengers and crew get blessed with these amazing displays which can last for a few hours or for several days. When conditions in ocean do not dramatically change, we seem to see it last longer.”
The force of the water slows them down and they swim with their mouths open through the prey. They swim as fast as they can in that condition and then scoop up the krill and strain it through baleen that acts like a filter. They end up getting rid of the water and swallow the krill.
Anderson said scientists don’t have an explanation for why krill, which normally stay in deeper waters to stay away from predators, have come to the surface, but some studies show that krill come to surface for food and warmer warmer, which help with mating.
Blue whales feed almost exclusively on krill. Mostly they do the same type of lunging deep beneath the ocean’s surface far out of view. Seeing it is what makes it unique, Anderson said.
“The whales feed off our coast in the summer and travel as far south as Costa Rica at other times of the year,” he said. “Blue whales feed where krill is located off our coast. They once were seen in large numbers off Alaska where krill is abundant, but now they rarely travel that far.”
Almost as exciting as the lunge-feeding are the record numbers of blue whales seen between the Dana Point Headlands and south San Clemente in the past 44 days.
Todd Mansur, captain for Dana Wharf Sportfishing & Whale Watching, said he expects to see last year’s record of 46 whales in as many days broken by Wednesday.
“As of last Sunday, we had 280 sightings,” he said. “That means we seen whales on every trip adding up to a combination of 280. On some trips we see one, others we see six. We expect last year’s record to be broken. Whale words travel fast; they’re the loudest talkers on the planet. They can hear 2,500 miles away from each other.”
Recently, John Calambokidis, a research biologist and one of the founders of Cascadia Research, a national authority on blue whales, reported that 20 identified whales have made Dana Point Harbor and its surrounding area their summer hunting grounds. Calambokidis has been doing research and tagging some of the blue whales in this area in the past few weeks.
“Just in our local area, there are 20 whales; that means there’s enough nutrients here,” Mansur said. “It’s nice to see the whales we know year after year.”
Whales such as Kinko, Nacho Grande, Delta, Hook, Bubbles, Spike and Barnacle Bill are all identified by markings.
“That tells us about the animal’s intelligence,” Mansur said, “if they can navigate to a specific geographical location year after year.”

BALTIMORE (AP) — Wei-Yin Chen turned in his finest performance of the season, yet there was reason to believe his masterful outing had something to do with the team he was facing — the struggling Boston Red Sox.
Chen allowed four hits over seven innings, Chris Davis homered and the Baltimore Orioles cruised to a 6-0 victory Wednesday night at soggy Camden Yards.
Nick Hundley had two hits and an RBI for the Orioles, who yielded only one run in winning two of three from the defending World Series champions.
"I'd be the first to say I think we kind of caught Boston not swinging the bats as well as they're capable of," Baltimore manager Buck Showalter said. "But I'm impressed with the way our guys pitched the last three days."
Chen (7-2) did not return after rain delayed the game for 1 hour, 38 minutes in the middle of the seventh. The Taiwanese left-hander struck out a season-high seven, walked none and was aided by three double plays.
"There is not much difference between this outing and the previous outings but I think if I had to say one, it's my command," Chen said through a translator. "My command on my breaking balls. I was able to locate them in the strike zone or out of the strike zone. That's the main difference."
It didn't hurt that he was going up against a Boston team that has been blanked six times, twice in this series.
"One run in 27 innings is extremely difficult," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "You credit their pitching, you credit inning-ending double plays three different times tonight. We've got to a better job offensively all the way around."
Dustin Pedroia had two singles for the Red Sox, who have lost seven of nine.
"We haven't been swinging the bats good," Pedroia said. "It seems like when we do hit the ball well it's right at somebody or we get a rally going and we find a way to stop it quick. You've got to keep fighting through it. It's all we can do."
Rubby De La Rosa (1-2) needed only 15 pitches to dig himself and the Red Sox a 3-0 hole. Steve Pearce walked and scored on a double by Adam Jones before Davis went deep into the right-field seats.
It was the 10th home run of the season for Davis, the defending major league home run champion. The slugger took extra batting practice before the game in an effort to break out of a 3-for-19 skid.
After play resumed in the seventh with Baltimore ahead 4-0, the few fans remaining watched Darren O'Day and Zach Britton each pitch an inning to complete the four-hitter.
"I was real pleased and proud of the way our guys pitched the last three days, all of them, the bullpen, too," Showalter said. "They came in and did what they're supposed to do and we didn't have to get anybody up behind them."
Chen retired the first 11 batters, six by strikeout, before Pedroia lined a single into the right-field corner with two outs in the fourth. He was thrown out by Nick Markakis trying to stretch it into a double.
After Baltimore went up 4-0 in the fourth on a two-out RBI single by Hundley, a replay wiped out the inning's second run. Hundley was called safe at second base on a fielder's choice as Jonathan Schoop scored, but Farrell asked for a replay and Hundley was subsequently ruled out.
In the eighth, Red Sox reliever Chris Capuano walked Schoop and Markakis with the bases loaded.
NOTES: The Orioles' 10-game homestand continues Thursday with the opener of a four-game series against AL East-leading Toronto. Mark Buehrle (10-2) starts for the Jays against Kevin Gausman (1-1). ... Boston sends Jon Lester (6-7) to the mound Thursday night in the opener of a four-game series against Cleveland. ... Pedroia went 2 for 3 against Chen and is 14 for 27 lifetime against the lefty. ... Orioles 3B Manny Machado, who's appealing a suspension that was supposed to start Tuesday, went 0 for 3 and is hitless in his last 18 at-bats. ... On the day he turned 26, Boston's Brock Holt had his 10-game hitting streak end and failed to reach base for only the second time in 20 starts as Boston's leadoff hitter.

The federal cabinet has approved the key elements of the German bid to host the 2019 Internet Governance Forum (IGF), as presented by the Economic Affairs Ministry. Germany is applying to the United Nations to hold the 2019 IGF in Berlin.
This candidacy sends out a strong signal to the domestic and international audience highlighting the priority attached to internet policy issues by the German government. During its , the German government has been prioritising policy. For example, the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy held the first G20 Digital Ministers Meeting in Düsseldorf in April, at which the participants committed not least to ensuring that everyone can access the internet by 2025, to tackling the digital gender gap, and to promoting lifelong digital learning.
The IGF is an open discussion platform on key internet issues involving all relevant groups in society. The aim is to foster an open dialogue and in particular to involve the previously underrepresented groups and representatives from developing and emerging economies. The IGF has been held annually since 2006. In 2016, it took place in Mexico, and in December 2017 it will be hosted by Geneva.

We always manage to fit in at least one West End production whilst in London, and this trip we’ve chosen the recent musical adaptation of From Here To Eternity, known to most from the successful 1953 film by Fred Zinnemann, from the novel by James Jones. The musical has music and lyrics by Stuart Brayson & Tim Rice and book by Bill Oakes.
A musical of From Here To Eternity? you might well ask. Well, yes, and as it turns out it works as such pretty well. To answer the question of Why?, just read this paragraph from the WikiPedia page:
Jones’s novel From Here to Eternity was a best-seller and well known for its successful movie adaptation. Jones’s manuscript was heavily censored by his publisher to remove profanity and references to gay prostitiution; the unexpurgated version was not published until 2011. Once it was, composer Stuart Brayson thought it might be adapted as a musical, and proposed the project to Tim Rice, who acquired the stage rights and wrote the lyrics.
And there you have it; a sub-plot of gay/straight relations, and the tension therefrom, take a significant role in this telling of the tale.
A mid-afternoon visit to the Liecester Square TKTS booth yielded three in stalls (7th row center) for X, A and I. A hasn’t been to a West End show in years, so appreciated the treat. Also appreciated was the American-style “Proper” burgers at Byron before show. (note to Byron, American pickle spears are dill, not sweet, and while our malts may be made in the steel cup, they are not served in it).
The show was a joy to watch, quite beautiful and great story telling. The sets, costumes and lights were all one expects, the usual high West End standard. Choreography was quite good, especially near the end of the piece (not giving anything away, as this will likely transfer stateside).
No stand out performances from this cast, although I quite liked Ryan Sampson’s portrayal of Private Angelo Maggio and Siubhan Harrison’s Lorene. The entire ensemble is strong, however, and acquit themselves well throughout the 2:45 (with interval) performance.
All in all, I’d give it 4 stars, and know that X & A loved it, too.

Formed in 1950 as what they refer to as a “first draft” of themselves, Cavit has been responsible for creating a winemaking culture throughout the region of Trentino. From humble beginnings with a handful of vine-growers, and expanding into the large-scale operation that they are known for today, they still keep with the values and traditions of small-scale family producers. With a network of 10 Cellars and 4,500 associated grape growers, they have full knowledge of the area’s climate and geography, and this authority sets them apart. They are known for their quality both home and abroad, and Cavit continues to impress with their Lunetta Prosecco.
The winemaking team at Cavit, lead by Anselmo Martini uses Glera grapes and the espalier training system for their tantalizing Cavit Lunetta Prosecco. This gives the ripe grapes a very good acidity and freshness. Adding to the uniqueness of the wine, their method of holding the wine on lees for roughly three months before bottling, which is longer than many other Prosecco producers. These factors aid in creating a wine that is fruity with Prosecco’s traditional green apple, pear and peach notes, and makes it enjoyably light and crisp. It is no question that this is a quality Prosecco at its price point.

EBOCONT strip welding machine
successfully put into service at Wieland Werke AG in Ulm, Germany
Wieland is the world’s leading specialist for copper and copper alloys. The Group has many locations on a number of continents, enabling them to supply customers around the globe with their semi-finished products.
The Ulm location decided to use electron beam technology from Steigerwald Strahltechnik (SST) to further enhance its capacities in the field of tri-metal strips. During the first quarter of 2021, SST delivered an EBOCONT electron beam strip welding machine to the plant.
With this continuous pass system, it is now possible to weld three individual strips of copper and copper alloys with equal or different thicknesses into a tri-metal strip using an electron beam. Wieland Werke AG decided to acquire another new machine of this type in order to address the increased worldwide demand for precision resistors. These so-called shunts are used, for example, in battery management systems in the field of electromobility, and in smartphones.
Also, the conversion from magnetic to electronic energy meters in most European countries has resulted in a significant rise in demand for modern measuring technologies.

A 34-year-old man from Winsford has been jailed for dealing drugs in Northwich - after police found him advertising cocaine for sale.
Kenneth Dyson, of Wheelock Drive, Winsford appeared at Chester Magistrates Court on Monday, January 22, to be sentenced after pleading guilty at an earlier hearing to being concerned in the supply of class A drugs between October 26 2023 and December 20 2023. He was sentenced to three years in prison.
His illegal activities came to an end following an investigation by officers from Northwich Proactive Team. He came to their attention in November 2023 when a phone was linked to him which was advertising cocaine for sale.

Dyson was arrested on December 20 and later the same day charged and remanded in custody.
PC Daniel Lee said: “Northwich Local Policing Unit is dedicated to disrupting the drug supply network and this is another example of how we are continually pursuing those intent on making money out of other people’s misery.
“We recognise that drugs and drug use have a detrimental effect on our communities and we will stop at nothing to rid the streets of this illegal activity.
“You too can help us by reporting drug dealing in your area to police, every bit of information helps us to gather intelligence and close in on those dealing in illegal drugs.”
