A few weeks back Trevor and I were raiding the North Andover Market Basket on a trip home for cheap meat and ethnic produce (think yuca, hot peppers, plaintains), basically grabbing everything that’s particularly overpriced at Wholefoods and throwing it in our cart. As we strolled the aisles, I saw a container of tiny, spotted quail eggs, and for some reason had to have them. I had no idea what I was going to cook with them, but they were so delicate and pretty I knew I wanted a good reason to photograph them and share them here.
Since then, every time I open the fridge the quail eggs are staring at me, questioning me. What will you make with us? Hard-boiling quail eggs seemed way too tedious for me, although I’m sure you could make an adorable plate of deviled quail eggs if you’re the patient type (the internet confirms, and with caviar nonetheless). Baking seemed inappropriate, as the whole point is their tiny cuteness, and who wants to convert “2 large eggs” into quail eggs? Basically, the only option that was both visually appealing and non-tedious was frying them, so that’s what I decided to do, although really, that only limits the recipe choices to things you would put a fried egg on, which isn’t limiting at all.
Since Easter is just around the corner, and eggs, particularly tiny spotted ones, are a harbinger of spring and new life (plus these quail eggs mostly just made me crave Cadbury Mini Eggs), the rest of the recipe evolved into something that would be a pretty appetizer for Easter brunch. Inspired, too, by our recent trip to Au Pied de Cochon’s Sugar Shack in Montreal, where practically every course involved duck fat, I unearthed our giant vat of duck fat from the freezer. Baguette was sliced and crisped in the duck fat, basil and asparagus were blended into pesto, and the tiny eggs were fried in the duck fat drippings. A few slices of Trevor’s home-cured guanciale (which, to be honest, I haven’t tried yet, due to fear of botulism) rounded out the springtime spread. The resulting toasts were pretty, seasonal, finger foods, that crunch and smush when you bite into them in a very satisfying way. If you’re looking for something to put out with the champagne this Sunday that will have everyone licking their fingers, consider these.
I should probably call out right now that I realize this recipe is a little bit ridiculous. Plain toast too boring? Add duck fat! Regular eggs too big? Find tiny quail eggs! Basil pesto been done? Add asparagus! But hey, sometimes what I want is food that’s quick and simple and sometimes I want something over the top and chef-y. And you know what? If you wanted to make this with big eggs, regular pesto, and full-sized slices of toast, it would probably be just as good. I do insist on the duck fat, though – it does magical things to toast.
Duck Fat Toasts with Quail Eggs and Asparagus Pesto
Serves 6 as an appetizer.
- 1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
- 1/4 c. pine nuts, lightly toasted
- 1/2 c. cubed parmesan cheese
- 1/4 c. olive oil
- 10 thin stalks asparagus, woody ends trimmed
- 3/4 c. packed basil leaves
- 3-5 TBS duck fat
- 1 baguette, sliced on a diagonal into at least 12 slices
- sea salt to taste
- 12 quail eggs
- 12 small slices guanciale or prosciutto (optional)
- black pepper to taste
- Make the pesto: add the garlic, toasted pine nuts, parmesan cheese, and olive oil to a food processor, and pulse until very finely chopped. Add the asparagus and the basil and pulse until fully blended, adding additional olive oil if needed. Set pesto aside.
- Heat 2 TBS of the duck fat in a frying pan over medium heat. Once melted, add as many slices of baguette as will comfortably fit in the pan. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining toasts, adding more duck fat as necessary to ensure that crisp, golden outside. Lightly salt the toasts with sea salt as soon as they finish cooking. Set finished toasts aside.
- Lower the heat to medium-low, and let pan cool off slightly, before carefully cracking quail eggs into pan. Shells are a bit harder to crack then chicken eggs – using a knife may help you crack them neatly. Fry until whites are set, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then carefully transfer to a plate.
- To assemble: spread a spoonful of pesto on each toast. If you’d like, top with a small slice of guanciale, then place one of the fried eggs on top. Grind a small amount of fresh black pepper on top. Serve within 30 minutes (you can make everything in advance except the fried eggs).

Unfortunately, the main sources of vitamin B12 are animal products, such as meat, poultry, shellfish, eggs and milk products. For this reason, vegetarians have an increased risk of vitamin B12 deficiency ( 9 ). Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause fatigue, memory problems and numbness.
Can being a vegetarian make you tired?
You feel tired
Due to the absence of red meat in a plant-based diet, vegans (and vegetarians) are typically deficient in vitamin B12 and iron. This can lead to fatigue, headaches, dizziness and if left untreated, anaemia.
How can vegetarians get more energy?
B12 is the big one to watch.
- Consume eggs and dairy, if your vegetarian diet embraces them.
- Include fortified nutritional yeast in your meals as an ingredient or topping (as with popcorn).
- Take B12 supplements.
- Include fortified cereals and veggie burgers (especially soy-based) in your diet.
Do vegetarians sleep better?
Neil Barnard, founding president of PCRM, told Live Kindly that plant based foods are beneficial for sleep because they stimulate the release of serotonin, which helps us to sleep. He recommends that you avoid all types of proteins, animal-based or not, on an evening.
Do you live longer if you are a vegetarian?
A team of researchers at Loma Linda University in the United States has shown vegetarian men live for an average of 10 years longer than non-vegetarian men — 83 years compared to 73 years. For women, being vegetarian added an extra 6 years to their lives, helping them reach 85 years on average.
What are the negative side effects of not eating meat?
However, iodine, zinc, and vitamin B12 are hard to come by when you leave meat, seafood, and dairy products out of your meals. Without these nutrients, you can suffer from goiters, fatigue, diarrhea, loss of taste and smell, and even neurological damage.
How do vegans get B12?
The only reliable vegan sources of B12 are foods fortified with B12 (including some plant milks, some soy products and some breakfast cereals) and B12 supplements, such as our very own VEG 1. Vitamin B12, whether in supplements, fortified foods, or animal products, comes from micro-organisms.
What foods give vegetarians energy?
Vegan foods for energy
- Fresh fruits – especially apples, bananas, papaya, mango, satsumas, pears, all types of berries, kiwis, pineapple and melon.
- Vegetables and leafy greens – Try and eat more vegetables such as squash/pumpkin, spinach, watercress, raw leaves, and corn/sweetcorn.
What are the side effects of being a vegetarian?
It can make you gain weight and lead to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and other health problems. You can get protein from other foods, too, like yogurt, eggs, beans, and even vegetables. In fact, veggies can give you all you need as long as you eat different kinds and plenty of them.
Does being vegetarian make you weaker?
Not eating enough can make you feel weak, and it can be easy for new vegetarians to under-eat at first since most veg foods are lower calorie by default. It’s one of the perks of being veggie but it also means you have to be a bit more conscientious about eating enough.
Why do vegetarians fart so much?
Vegetarians fart more than non-vegetarians.
This leads to an increase in certain bacteria in the lower intestine to break down the beans, which produces large amounts of hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide gas.
Is meat good for sleep?
Red meat can be good for you, but eating a large portion of it right before bed might distract your body from fully resting during the night. Sometimes there is nothing more satisfying than a slice of pizza late at night.
Do Vegans look younger?
Many people on a plant-based diet notice improved complexions, skin healing and moisturisation, which not only helps you to look younger but feel good about it too. Just because a diet is vegan is doesn’t automatically make it healthy. It does take some commitment and planning to follow a healthy plant based diet.
Do vegetarians lose weight faster?
A meta-analysis found that people on vegetarian diets lost around 4.4 pounds more than the control group (who had no change in diet), while those who went vegan dropped 5.5 pounds more.
Can a human live without meat?
As a new study in Nature makes clear, not only did processing and eating meat come naturally to humans, it’s entirely possible that without an early diet that included generous amounts of animal protein, we wouldn’t even have become human—at least not the modern, verbal, intelligent humans we are.
Are vegetarians skinnier?
Vegetarians are typically leaner than meat eaters because a vegetarian diet usually has less saturated fat and focuses on foods like fruits, vegetables and whole grains that often have less calories. Vegans have even less exposure to fats since they avoid all animal based products including eggs, milk, cheese and more.

Tiffany Mitchell, 28, claimed the Mean Girls star punched her during an alleged brawl at the Club Avenue venue in Manhattan last November (12), but a third-degree misdemeanour assault charge has now been dismissed.
Prosecutors' case against Lohan reportedly crumbled due to a lack of co-operation from witnesses, but Mitchell's lawyer, Gloria Allred, insists her client won't give up her fight for justice.
She tells the New York Post, "Tiffany is very disappointed... (She) is considering all of her legal options in the civil justice system because of what she suffered that night."
However, Lohan's attorney, Mark Heller, insists the embattled star can finally put the legal mess behind her.
He adds, "This was the final legal hurdle to overcome and clear the path of Lindsay's freedom. An alleged gypsy fortune teller tried to grasp her 15 minutes of fame by claiming that Lindsay Lohan assaulted her."
In a separate interview with U.S. news show Access Hollywood, Heller claims the actress is determined to turn her life around: "She is 100 per cent committed and 100 per cent dedicated to taking the proper path. She never wants to see the inside of a courtroom again, certainly a criminal courtroom. She has assured me that she is going to do the right thing and she wants to turn her life around."
News of the case dismissal comes just days after the troubled actress pleaded no contest to a number of charges relating to a car accident in California last year (12). Lohan agreed to serve 90 days in rehab, 30 days of community service and 18 months of psychotherapy to avoid a stint behind bars. She has until 2 May (13) to begin the residential treatment program. Lohan plans to shoot a guest appearance on Charlie Sheen's TV series Anger Management before she checks in.

Prompted by the colour of the backpack, I wrote the following story.
Red, the colour of the scarf that covers the scars on her neck. The scars of a relationship that soured. The scars on her heart take longer to heal.
Red, the colour of the blanket draped around her shoulders, and the soup given to her by the Sallies.
Red is the colour of her father’s eyes, his nose when he drank too much. The colour of his skin when he heard how James had treated her.
Red, the colour of the luscious strawberries that she bought for $1 per kilo in Cairns. She shared them with Bridget and Julian as they sang under the stars and Peter strummed his guitar and drank red wine.
Red, the colour of the shoes that they gave her to wear when she first graced the stage.
Red, the colour of the dress she wore when she accepted the Logie for Best Actress in a Musical.

President Trump was right and justified Thursday to sign an executive order calling for new regulations to strip legal liability protections from social media companies that censor posts and engage in political conduct on their sites.
I hope the president never has to take action against any social media company. The solution to the very real problem of social media company discrimination – which most often is directed against conservative views – is to end the discrimination, rather than for the government to intervene.
However, President Trump and many conservatives have identified a serious problem. Twitter and some other social media companies want to be two things at the same time: common carriers where anyone can post comments, and news organizations that selectively fact-check some posts and determine which ones are accurate and which ones are not. Making such determinations is an editorial decision that is often very subjective.
Right now social media companies enjoy protection from liability under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act for what is posted on their sites, because in most cases they allow people to post whatever they wish – as if they were posting on a giant virtual bulletin board.
In contrast, news organizations can be sued for libel if they publish false information with “’actual malice’ – that is, with knowledge that it was false or with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not,” according to a 1964 Supreme Court decision in the case New York Times Co. v. Sullivan.
On average more than 500 million tweets are posted each day. You can see the enormous number tweeted on the day you read this here. It would be impossible for Twitter to review each of these tweets and fact-check them all before posting. Other social media companies face a similar impossible task.
However, Twitter has selectively targeted conservatives – most recently President Trump this week – and has either taken down their tweets or labeled them as misleading and added a fact check, as was the case with two of the president’s tweets dealing with problems with mail-in voting.
Ironically, the president’s tweets saying voter fraud can take place with mail-in voting were accurate. Twitter’s fact check claiming that the president’s tweets were factually inaccurate was itself inaccurate.
What is crucial here is that by deciding to selectively review a tiny number of tweets on its site and running supposed fact checks on them, Twitter is exercising editorial judgment and deciding what people are told is true.
Even Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, told Fox News’ Dana Perino that social media companies should not act as the “arbiter of truth.”
President Trump’s executive order states that social media companies that remove or restrict content should be exposed to liability “like any traditional editor and publisher that is not an online provider.”
Ancient grey haired naked rebel and activist always looking to better the Human condition. Dreaming about what could be. Lifting the veil on the imposed illusion. Only a few will survive the depopulation wars fought by the (self proclaimed) 'Chosen Ones'. Only a few will survive the mindfuck. Maybe some of the stuff I write or share will be of some value (to you). I share it out of love knowing Mankind deserves so much better.

MOVIE REVIEW ★★★ ½ / 4 Disney’s ‘Princess and the Frog’
An Instant Classic in 2D
Princess and the Frog
Directed by Ron Clements & John Musker
Starring the voices of Anika Noni Rose, Bruno Campos and Jennifer Cody
Fellow Disney fans, we have what we’ve been waiting for: the first classic Disney animated film of the decade. The Princess and the Frog is a genuinely funny, heart-felt, feel-good adventure worthy of carrying the revered title of Walt Disney Animation Studios, after a dry spell in successful hand-drawn films since 1999’s Tarzan.
Princess is set in New Orleans during the roaring twenties, a time rich in the culture of jazz and excess. Tiana, the movie’s main character and Disney’s first African-American princess, is a hard-working waitress with big dreams of achieving what her father never could: one day opening a restaurant of her own. While Tiana’s dream seems far from fruition, her childhood friend Charlotte hopes for her own fairy tale ending with the handsome Prince Naveen of Maldonia, a carefree and spoiled young prince who must marry a wealthy southerner like Charlotte to maintain his leisurely lifestyle. But when an encounter with the mysterious voodoo doctor known as “The Shadow Man” turns Naveen into a frog, and a kiss intended to reverse the damage transforms Tiana as well, the two must seek the infamous voodoo priestess of the Bayou — Mama Odie — to set things right.
The movie is groundbreaking on several levels. First, Princess is Disney’s first 2-D animated film since 2004’s Home on the Range, and the result of such meticulous hand-drawing is a truly beautiful film. New Orleans comes alive with vibrant hues and breathtaking cityscapes, while a sometimes mysterious, sometimes welcoming mood is convincingly painted in the marshes of the Bayou. What Avatar is for modern 3-D special effects, Princess is for old-fashioned 2-D animation. One particularly noteworthy scene portrays a massive swarm of twinkling lightning bugs bouncing rhythmically through the evening swamp: the effect of which is both heartwarming and stimulating
Secondly, Tiana is Disney’s first black princess — a landmark both long in coming and thoroughly fitting. But while this milestone deserves attention in itself, the writers did more than stick a colored heroine in Disney’s classic princess-in-distress scenario; the originality and culture of the characters is what really earns this film praise. Tiana is likeable as a strong-willed girl (or frog) on a mission, Naveen is hilarious and sweet despite his laziness, and the jazz-loving trumpet-tooting alligator they meet along the way is both lovable and highly entertaining. My personal favorite was the heavily-accented Cajun firefly who guided them through the Bayou — Ray — whose heartbreaking solo to his love was a highlight of the film.
And, in classic Disney fashion, The Princess and the Frog showcased a killer villain. Dr. Facilier — a.k.a. “The Shadow Man” — was evil to his core, whose creepy voodoo magic via his “friends on the other side” is both chilling and downright frightening. While he’s no Maleficent or Jafar, Dr. Facilier more than holds his own as the film’s antagonist. But beyond the beautiful scenery, well-written script (prepare to laugh and “aww” often), and memorable characters, holding Princess up was its soundtrack. Strong jazz influences, stellar vocals (Tiana’s voice, Anika Noni Rose, in particular), and catchy tunes will have you singing along for days afterwards. In the same way that kids (or college students) can still belt the lyrics to Mulan’s “Be a Man” or The Lion King’s “Hakuna Matata,” this soundtrack will join Disney’s lengthy repertoire of fun and celebrated movie songs for generations to come.

Sexual violence has been a perpetual calamity since time immemorial and particularly so during armed conflicts and other situations of violence. Although in most cases the victims are women, sexual violence has never been limited to one gender. Rules and laws existing in the treaties and conventions of international humanitarian law (IHL) and international human rights law, in addition to domestic legal regimes, are not however sufficient for addressing this crime – a sincere will to implement those laws is needed as well.
To help shape this will, one path is to highlight the severity of this heinous crime in religious teachings. The ICRC in Pakistan together with the Shariah Academy, International Islamic University Islamabad, decided that it would take this subject to a select group of Islamic scholars in order to highlight Islamic perspectives on this issue. An invitation to write papers was extended to the selected scholars and in a two-day round table conference on “Addressing Sexual Violence During War and Other Situations of Violence: An Islamic Response”, held from the 30th to the 31st of August 2022, those papers were presented and discussed among a group of 30 scholars.
The themes chosen and discussed in the conference included: Islamic Teachings on Sexual Violence, Measures to Prevent Sexual Violence During Armed Conflict and Other Situations of Violence, Sexual Violence in the Light of Classical and Contemporary Islamic Legal Verdicts, Islamic Social Viewpoint for Cure and Assistance of the Victims of Sexual Violence, Psychological Reasons of Sexual Violence and Islamic Teachings, Islamic Perspective on Slavery: A Critical Appraisal, and Sexual Violence in Historical Perspective.
The papers and the discussion were then compiled in the form of an Urdu-language book by ICRC Regional Advisor Dr Ziaullah Rahmani and Ahmad Waqas, Research Associate at Shariah Academy.

Geneva-based multinational electronics semiconductor company, STMicroelectronics has targeted large information-security contracts in Indian banking and government space that are expected to generate millions of dollars in revenue.
The company with global revenues of $ 9.73 billion is in talks with various banks for providing chip-based cards and is testing other technologies like near-field communications (NFC).
In India, the company’s major thrust areas will be in the unique identity programme and banking industry. The banking industry has been moving toward replacing magnetic strip based cards and providing customers with chip-based cards. Widely believed to increase security, adoption of these cards in India is picking up.
“Globally, around 1.3 billion chip-based cards are issued annually while there are less than one million such cards in India,” said Bruno Batut, senior marketing manager, secure microcontrollers for Greater China and South Asia region at STMicroelectronics.
Already, banks like SBI, HDFC, ICICI and Axis among others offer chip-based cards or a combination of chip and magnet strip based cards.
Bruno Batut added that the technology was currently in pilot phase and it was being brought in with local players.
For the unique identity project, Batut said that the project was currently in registration phase and will get active as applications emerge around the unique IDs issued to people.
STMicroelectronics is also looking at providing chips for enabling NFC in various forms like smartphones or in access control. NFC is a new way through which devices placed in close proximity can communicate with each other. Companies like Google, Mastercard and Visa have adopted NFC to help customers pay with their mobile phones.
While NFC has been adopted with some success in the US, Batut described its adoption in India as being in a “stage of infancy”. While there are about 70-80 million points of sale terminals deployed worldwide, adoption would require consumers to buy devices that are NFC capable. In the Indian market, there are only a few high-end smartphones that provide this feature.
He added that though it was difficult to project growth of this technology, it would require a suitable infrastructure to be setup first – payment terminals, willing merchants and business applications included. “NFC will become generic in 5 years,” he said.

A paedophile who abused a 10-year-old girl has been jailed for nine and a half years.
Naughton Alan Milner, 39, of High Street, Blackpool, would ply his young victim with sweets, chocolate and cash, Preston Crown Court was told. He would then tell her: “You’re fit.”
Milner was convicted by a jury of a string of sexual offences against the youngster, including four counts of sexual assault, and had previously admitted possessing indecent images of children. The offences happened over a period between 2011 and 2013.
Prosecuting, Paul Cummings said the offences took place in the living room of a flat in Blackpool over a period of several months.
“He would sit her on his lap or put her on sofa and touch her,” he said.
The court heard he tried to stroke her leg and told her he “loved her”. He told her they would both be in trouble if she didn’t keep it a secret.
In a statement, the teenager said she felt “discomfort and fear” and was frightened of bumping into him. The court heard in December 2016 she told a social worker about what he had done.
In February 2017 she showed some Facebook messages initiated by Milner using a pseudonym, asking to meet and expressing a sexual interest in her.
In the messages he described the child as “hot” and “fit” and referred to the incidents that had happened in the past. When police interviewed him he denied the offences but officers found his Xbox console had been used to search for the girl on Facebook.
A police probe found Milner had sent an e-mail to someone he believed could share indecent images of children saying: “ Hi, I’m new to this, I’m looking for porn and pictures of girls, please could you help me please?”
He had actually contacted an undercover officer but in the ensuing conversation expressed a wish to have sex with a child.
In a separate offence he admitted possessing a blade.
Judge Philip Parry ordered him to sign the sex offenders register for life and imposed a 15-year sexual harm prevention order. He was barred from working with children and vulnerable adults. His X-Box was seized.

College of Engineering
Dr. Jean-Paul Pinelli
Since joining Florida Tech in 1995, Dr. Pinelli has been involved in research related to the strength of anchors in high-strength concrete, the study of break-away connections of highway signs under the action of wind and traffic, tornado damage to low rise building, and the effect of wind on structures and emergency vehicles. He is also interested in multiple tuned mass dampers for passive control of seismic vibration, and in the utilization of magneto-rheological dampers for semi-active control of structures. His research has been funded by the State of Florida, FEMA, NSF, and the Florida Sea Grant Program. He currently leads the engineering team of the Florida Public Hurricane Prediction Model. The team has developed vulnerability models for single family homes, manufactured homes, and commercial residential buildings. It is also looking at the benefit and cost effectiveness of hurricane mitigation measures. Dr. Pinelli is also active in the development of wireless instrumentation for monitoring of the effect of hurricanes on structures. He is also the founder and director of the Wind and Hurricane Impact Laboratory - WHIRL. Dr. Pinelli is also interested in the development of educational tools based on erector sets.

Development of Advanced Instrumentation for Monitoring of Wind Action on Coastal Structures – Funded by the Florida Sea Grant Program.
Wind Study of Emergency Vehicles.Sponsored by the Florida Department of Community Affairs with funding from FEMA.
Multiple Distributed Tuned Mass Dampers: An Exploratory Study. Funded by the National Science Foundation.
Study of Break-Away Sign Base Connections. Funded by the Florida Department of Transportation.
The goal of the project is to develop and maintain a computer model to assess hurricane risk, and to project annual expected insured residential losses for specific sites, zip codes, counties and regions in Florida. These losses can be estimated for both individual property and for entire portfolios of residential properties. The Florida Public Hurricane Loss Model also projects insured losses for user defined scenarios and historical events.
The project is funded by the state of Florida through the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (OIR)The model has meteorological, engineering, GIS, financial and actuarial components. It draws upon the expertise of a team of meteorologists, wind and structural engineers, statisticians, computer scientists, actuaries, and financial experts from the International Hurricane Research Center at FIU, and various universities in Florida, including Florida Tech, in accordance with the best available methodologies, techniques, theories and scientific principles. The model is developed without bias and is non-proprietary and transparent. It is subject to external review and it has been certified by the Florida Commission on Hurricane Loss Projection Methodology (FCHLPM). The model and its components are available to the insurance and reinsurance industry.
The model is used to (a) provide assistance to OIR and the insurance industry in the rate making process; (b) provide a state of the art non-proprietary wind field model for public use; (c) provide a check on the assumptions, analysis and results generated by the proprietary models; (d) help evaluate reinsurance risk for, e.g., the Florida CAT Fund; (e) assess the efficacy of disaster mitigation strategies.
The model consists of three major components: wind, vulnerability (damage), and insured loss. The vulnerability component models the relationship between damage to different classes of residential structures (and contents) and the maximum sustainable wind speed generated by the stochastic storms and wind fields. The impact of terrain roughness on this relationship is accounted for. Separate vulnerability functions for structure, content, and ALE were developed and validated by using insurance claims data and engineering data. Uncertainties are estimated and sensitivity analysis are performed.
The model is being expended to include commercial reisdential low-rise and mid to high-rise buildings.
To measure and characterize ground-level hurricane wind fields, and to quantify and model the resultant wind force interaction with man-made coastal structures.
Develop and implement new instrumentation to:
Measure the spatial correlation of hurricane wind field gusts
Provide real-time remote access to hurricane wind data while it is being collected
Create analysis tool for the efficient processing and dissemination of collected hurricane wind data
Develop probability based models of:
The spatial gust structure of the local ground level wind field
The relationship between the local wind field gust structure and pressures over the building envelope
Develop and deploy new remote access wireless instrumentation to be installed on mobile wind towers and residential houses
Develop software capable of managing and analyzing the very large full-scale hurricane wind data sets
Employ data from new instrumentation to define the gust spatial structure and resultant correlated loads over the building envelope
Measure outcomes by direct comparison of new load models with current code provision and wind tunnel data
Given the rapidly increasing population in Florida¹s coastal areas, densely populated areas will continue to be impacted by hurricane winds. In addition to the immediate public safety and property loss issues, long-term economic and environmental recovery will also suffer without a concerted effort to prevent catastrophic damage to residential and commercial structures and the infrastructure. Affordable solutions to mitigate damage can only follow from an accurate quantification of the wind forces causing this destruction. Builders, coastal home and business owners, the insurance industry, and the state economy and ecosystem are the potential beneficiaries from this research.
The report presents the results of a study to define the wind speed limits and conditions beyond which fire and rescue vehicles should not be operated during a hurricane. For that purpose, reduced scale models of a typical fire truck, ambulance, and sports utility vehicle (SUV) were tested in a wind tunnel. For the fire truck the wind tunnel tests are compared with full-scale measurements on a real truck and to computer simulations using the Fluent software. The report presents and compares the results of the different tests: experimental, field, and numerical. The resulting wind pressure distributions on the vehicles are used to obtain drag, lift, and side forces, in addition to overturning, yawing, and pitching moments. Based on the results of the tests and the analyses, safe wind speeds are found for the operation of these fire and rescue vehicles.
The last decades have seen the development of important new technologies regarding the control of the response of structures to dynamic loading. These include passive control techniques, one of which is the tuned mass damper (TMD). It is a vibration absorber consisting of a mass, a spring, and a viscous damper. The motion of its mass activates the TMD when the natural frequency of the damper is tuned to be in or near resonance with the predominant frequency of the main structure. The effectiveness of the TMD's to mitigate wind-induced motions is well established. A series of studies have also shown that, when properly optimized, TMD's can also successfully control seismic vibrations. Recently, new schemes for the TMD have been proposed. In particular, it has been shown that multiple TMD's with their frequency range distributed around the fundamental modal frequency of a structure can be robust and efficient. However, there is still no agreement over whether multiple TMD's could successfully control several modes of a structure.
The research carried on at Florida Tech, and funded by the National Science Foundation, explored the feasibility of controlling various modes of a structure under seismic loading through the installation of various groups of tuned mass dampers with the frequency range of each group distributed around a different modal frequency. The proposed scheme is called multiple distributed tuned mass damper (MDTMD). A MDTMD could combine the robustness and efficiency already demonstrated for single mode distributed TMD's (in general referred to as multiple TMD, or MTMD), with the efficacy of highly damped and high mass devices proposed for some single TMD's. In addition, since in this type of installation the mass is distributed among several dampers, each individual device can be less bulky, and can require less displacement.
The parameters varied in the study, for a given structural model, were the type, properties, and number of devices to be installed. The sensitivity of the MDTMD's to different ground motions were investigated. Consequently, a computer and scaled laboratory structural models were subjected, with and without TMD's, to a series of dynamic loads through computer simulations and shake table tests. The shake table was built at Florida Tech.
This exploratory work advanced the understanding of an important passive control device, and indicated whether or not TMD's have the potential to be used for multi-modal control.

In June 2012 President Barak Obama established an American immigration policy called the “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals” or “DACA.” This program allowed children to apply for DACA status if they were under the age of 31 before June 15, 2012 came to the U.S. before turning 16 and have continuously lived in the country since June 15, 2007. Those protected under DACA are known as the “Dreamers.” These individuals were granted the right to live, go to school, and work in the United States. However, five years since the implementation of DACA, President Donald Trump now plans on getting rid of both DACA and the Dreamers.
The United States’ foundation was built on immigration. This country’s unique blend of races and ethnicities can be attributed to immigrants coming to the United States from all over the world. Terminating DACA means abandoning those individuals who have contributed to the great diversity that makes this country. This is why I will have to disagree with President Trump. Continuing to allow these individuals to live in the U.S. and expand our country’s culture and help us grow is how we make America great.
Although the actual policy of DACA states that Dreamers, “must have come to the U.S. before turning 16,” many of them were much younger when they arrived. These children came to this country with their parents unaware of status. They are our peers and our friends. The United States is the only home they have ever known, they have grown up here and built their lives here just as I have. How are we as country going to hold them accountable for their undocumented status?

Fish, meat, poultry, eggs, milk, and other dairy products, which also contain vitamin B12.
Can b12 deficiency nerve damage be reversed?
If the deficiency is detected early, some damage can be reversed. However, if the consequences of vitamin B12 deficiency have progressed too much, nerve damage is irreparable.
What kind of nerve damage is caused by b12 deficiency?
A lack of B12 damages the myelin sheath that surrounds and protect nerves. Without this protection, nerves cease to function properly and conditions such as peripheral neuropathy occur. Even B12 deficiency that is relatively mild may affect the nervous system and the proper functioning of the brain.
Can b12 repair nerve damage?
Vitamin B12 Enhances Nerve Repair and Improves Functional Recovery After Traumatic Brain Injury by Inhibiting ER Stress-Induced Neuron Injury. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the most common causes of neurological damage in young human populations.

What causes lack of b12?
Atrophic gastritis, in which your stomach lining has thinned. Pernicious anemia, which makes it hard for your body to absorb vitamin B12. Conditions that affect your small intestine, such as Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, bacterial growth, or a parasite. Immune system disorders, such as Graves’ disease or lupus.
What medications should not be taken with b12?
Certain medications can decrease the absorption of vitamin B12, including: colchicine, metformin, extended-release potassium products, antibiotics (such as gentamicin, neomycin, tobramycin), anti-seizure medications (such as phenobarbital, phenytoin, primidone), medications to treat heartburn (such as H2 blockers …
How do you recover from b12 deficiency?
The condition can be reversed by taking oral vitamin B12 supplements and adding foods containing B12. When the anemia is severe and the red blood cell count is extremely low, blood transfusions may be necessary for the first couple of days until the vitamin B12 injections begin working.
How long does it take to recover from b12 deficiency?
Recovery from vitamin B12 deficiency takes time and you may not experience any improvement during the first few months of treatment. Improvement may be gradual and may continue for up to six to 12 months.
How long does it take for b12 supplements to work?
A response usually is seen within 48 to 72 hours, with brisk production of new red blood cells. Once B12 reserves reach normal levels, injections of vitamin B12 will be needed every one to three months to prevent symptoms from returning.
What is the best vitamin for nerve damage?
1. B vitamins for neuropathyB vitamins are useful in treating neuropathy since they support healthy nervous system function. … Supplementation should include vitamin B-1 (thiamine and benfotiamine), B-6, and B-12. … A deficiency in vitamin B-12 is one cause of peripheral neuropathy.More items…•
When should I take b12 morning or night?

What are the 3 stages of Lyme disease?
Although Lyme disease is commonly divided into three stages — early localized, early disseminated, and late disseminated — symptoms can overlap.
Some people will also present in a later stage of disease without having symptoms of earlier disease..
Can you tell how long a tick has been on you?
Unlike most other bugs that bite, ticks typically remain attached to your body after they bite you. If one bites you, you’ll likely know because you’ll have found a tick on your skin. After a period of up to 10 days of drawing blood from your body, an engorged tick can detach itself and fall off.
How long does it take for a tick bite to cause Lyme disease?
In most cases, the tick must be attached for 36 to 48 hours or more before the Lyme disease bacterium can be transmitted. Most humans are infected through the bites of immature ticks called nymphs. Nymphs are tiny (less than 2 mm) and difficult to see; they feed during the spring and summer months.
How do you know if a tick bite has Lyme disease?
Signs of Lyme disease — Whether or not a clinician is consulted after a tick bite, the person who was bitten (or the parents, if a child was bitten) should observe the area of the bite for expanding redness, which would suggest erythema migrans (EM), the characteristic rash of Lyme disease (picture 2).
Do I need antibiotics after a tick bite?
* Antibiotic treatment following a tick bite is not recommended as a means to prevent tickborne diseases other than Lyme disease (such as anaplasmosis, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever). There is no evidence this practice is effective, and it may simply delay onset of disease.
Does a tick bite leave a hard lump?
Most tick bites in the United States involve hard ticks (Ixodidae), which have been increasing in number since the middle 1900s. Secretions from the tick’s feeding parts can cause skin reactions, such as raised areas, lumps and growths called granulomas.
How long does it take for a tick to get engorged?
“How long does it take for a tick to become fully engorged? It takes two to three days for nymphs and four to seven days for adults to become fully engorged. Usually it takes 36 hours for a tick to infect you, IF it has Lyme bacteria. Remember, not all deer ticks are infected.”
When should I worry about a tick bite?
Make sure you see a doctor if you notice the following: The bite area shows some signs of infection including swelling, pain, warmth, or oozing pus. Development of symptoms like headache, fever, stiff neck or back, tiredness, or muscle or joint aches. Part of the tick remains in the skin after removal.
Should I go to the ER for a tick bite?
It is important to seek medical attention if you notice any of these symptoms following a tick bite: A red bull’s-eye in the area surrounding the bite. Erythema migrans rashes, even away from the tick bite site, in the period of over several weeks following a known tick bite or a possible tick exposure.
How soon after a tick bite does the bullseye appear?
Rash. From three to 30 days after an infected tick bite, an expanding red area might appear that sometimes clears in the center, forming a bull’s-eye pattern. The rash (erythema migrans) expands slowly over days and can spread to 12 inches (30 centimeters) across.
How do you know if a tick bit you?
Although the symptoms vary based on the type of tick and the disease it may be carrying, general signs to watch for include the following:Mild itching.Reddened area on the skin.Very specific type of bulls-eye rash (EM) for Lyme.Non-EM rash for other tick-related infections.Fever.
How soon do you need antibiotics after a tick bite?
The antibiotic can be given within 72 hours of tick removal. The local rate of tick infection with B. burgdorferi is ≥20 percent (known to occur in parts of New England, parts of the mid-Atlantic states, and parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin). The person can take doxycycline.
How do you know if a tick’s head is still in your skin?
Tick’s Head:If the wood tick’s head breaks off in the skin, remove it.Clean the skin with rubbing alcohol.Use a sterile needle to uncover the head and lift it out.If a small piece of the head remains, the skin will slowly shed it.If most of the head is left, call your doctor for help.
What percentage of ticks carry disease?
Ticks prefer to live in wooded areas, low-growing grasslands, and yards. Not all ticks carry the Lyme disease bacteria. Depending on the location, anywhere from less than 1% to more than 50% of the ticks are infected with it. While most tick bites are harmless, several species can cause life-threatening diseases.
What does Lyme rash look like?
The signature rash of a Lyme tick bite looks like a solid red oval or a bull’s-eye. It can appear anywhere on your body. The bull’s-eye has a central red spot, surrounded by a clear circle with a wide red circle on the outside. The rash is flat and usually doesn’t itch.
How long can a tick live on a human?
TERC Answer: The length of time a tick stays attached depends on the tick species, tick life stage and the host immunity. It also depends on whether you do a daily tick check. Generally if undisturbed, larvae remain attached and feeding for about 3 days, nymphs for 3-4 days, and adult females for 7-10 days.
What are the chances of getting Lyme disease from a tick bite?
Odds of Catching Lyme Disease from a Tick Bite The chance of catching Lyme disease from an individual tick ranges from roughly zero to 50 percent. Risk of contracting Lyme disease from a tick bite depends on three factors: the tick species, where the tick came from, and how long it was biting you.
What to do after being bitten by a tick?
After removing the tick, clean the bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol or soap and water. 4. Dispose of the tick by flushing it down the toilet. If you would like to bring the tick to your healthcare provider for identification, put it in rubbing alcohol or place it in a sealed bag/ container.

In Jim Archibald’s 5-plus seasons as head coach of the Brainerd boys hockey team, the Warriors have had top-notch first lines.
Players like Josh Archibald, Bret Jenkins, Matt Pohlkamp, Mitch McLain and Aaron Rich have composed Brainerd’s top line and helped Brainerd win 96 of 135 games (.711 winning percentage) and make two section finals appearances.
This season, the Warriors have another high-flying first line, consisting of center Logan Rivard, left wing Cole Smith and right wing Jake Ellingson. Through five games they have combined for 16 goals and 32 points.
Rivard so far has been the line’s instigator with nine goals and eight assists for a team-high 17 points. The 3-year varsity regular says credit for his start should go to teammates.
“I think it’s all my teammates,” he said. “They’re playing great right now, allowing me personally to be successful.”
Rivard opened the season with a goal and two assists against Alexandria. He’s followed with two goals and three assists against River Lakes, two goals against St. Cloud Tech, a hat trick and assist against Monticello and a goal and two assists against St. Cloud Apollo.
“Since early summer, Logan’s been working hard on his development,” Warriors coach Jim Archibald said. “His hard work and commitment over that time has helped him master the individual skills necessary to be very effective. He’s put in a lot of time.
“He’s a skilled hockey player who can create opportunities and make plays. He’s off to a very nice start. He’s certainly playing with a little more of that edge to his game. He has become a lot more involved.”
Rivard guesstimated that he, Ellingson and Smith have played on the same line since Pee Wees. That familiarity breeds success.
“We know where each other’s going to be,” Rivard said. “Both of them are great players. Jake’s got a great shot, and a good scoring touch. Cole is good in open ice and in the corners. He does pretty much everything out there. He’s just a complete player. It’s great playing with both of them.
“We truly do know where each other will be out there on the ice pretty much all the time. We’re just familiar. We can just go over plays and we have a few set plays we like to run. We’re just really familiar with each other.”
One of Rivard’s goals is to set up Ellingson and Smith.
“I try to see the ice the best I can, try to get the puck to them a lot, and hopefully score a few goals,” he said.
Rivard also credits an offseason of working out with teammates. The Warriors applied for, and were granted, a summer waiver from the Minnesota State High School League to conduct offseason workouts.
“Last summer, instead of going to hockey camp, pretty much the whole team skated together,” Rivard said. “It was run by our coaches, and we were just running our systems, trying to get better each and every day. I think it helped us.”
Brainerd has jumped to a 4-1-0 start. Despite high expectations this season, the Warriors dropped the season opener 4-3 in overtime at Alexandria.
“It was really disappointing,” Rivard said. “It made us realize we can’t come into every game and just think we’re going to win. We have to play the game, we have to play our game.”
Archibald said Rivard’s play has been instrumental in Brainerd’s success.
“Our expectations this year are high,” he said. “We put a lot of pressure on all our seniors to do well. Logan, in the initial (five) games, has stepped it up. He’s leading by example.
“As coaches, we’re certainly happy and pleased with his play so far. We’re also very confident he will continue exactly the way he has.”
The last few years, the Warriors have sent several players to Division I programs. Rivard would like to add his name to that list some day.
“I want to follow in those guys’ footsteps, be a Division I player some day,” he said. “I’ve still got a lot of work to do but I want to follow in their footsteps. They’re great players. Hopefully things happen that I can do that.”
He also would like to help Brainerd to its first state tournament. In each of the last two seasons, the Warriors knocked on the door of the state tournament but were denied each time by Moorhead. What might give Brainerd an edge this year?
“I think our depth, that’s what can get us over the hump and finally help us get to the state tournament,” Rivard said.
Other notable efforts:
■ Beth Etterman, gymnastics, won the all-around title in the season’s first three meets.
■ Sara Wennerstrand, girls hockey, made 41 saves vs. the St. Cloud Icebreakers, 42 against Sartell/Sauk Rapids, 45 vs. Alexandria and 45 vs. the Icebreakers.
■ Noah Baker and Ben Hanson, Nordic skiing, combined to win the boys race at the Bemidji Relays.
■ Nick Goll, boys swimming, won two events and two relays vs. Sauk Rapids and vs. Alexandria and won two events vs. Tech.
■ David Supinski, boys swimming, won two events and two relays vs. Sauk Rapids and vs. Tech.

At Nottingham Weight Loss Hypnosis we want to make sure that our programs are a good fit for you. All our Weight Loss Hypnotherapy Nottingham programs start with a totally free telephone assessment before we agree to book sessions with you. This no-obligation telephone discussion gives you the opportunity to ask questions about our therapy so you can be fully informed about our services. During this call, we also spend time asking you about any issues which may be impacting your relationship with food. To arrange your assessment you can either email us or call us on 01636 650 521.
What we offer in Our Hypnosis for Weight Loss Programs
At our clinics in West Bridgford and Newark in Nottinghamshire, we offer therapy to assist our clients to take back control over their eating patterns. This therapy does not involve you going on a strict diet and certainly does not recommend food replacement shakes, restrictive eating, cutting our food groups or spending every hour of the day in the gym. We know that whilst many diets allow you to lose a certain amount of weight in the short term they do not work over longer periods of time. Instead, we will ask you to follow mindful eating practices, fill our regular food diaries, listen to self-hypnosis audios and examine the emotions that are causing you to eat. This means that input from yourself will be required to make the sessions work. We have had considerable success with many clients however we do not sell magical one session cures as they do not exist.*
Our Weight Loss Success Stories
Many of our clients have experienced success following our Weight Loss Hypnotherapy Nottingham programs. Meet Alan who came to see us for help with weight loss. When he started his weight loss program he weighed in at just under twenty-seven stone. Over the course of our five-session program we examined the reasons why he was overeating and created new healthier habits. Alan was given regular hypnosis sessions to boost his motivation and willpower and we also conducted gastric band hypnosis to trick the subconscious into eating less. By the end of our sessions together he had lost nearly two stone. We continued to support Alan with regular email updates once per week to keep him on track.

Celtic Traditions no.2
Shalom, Yair Davidiy speaking from Jerusalem in Israel.
We are now continuing our discussion of Celtic Traditions that prove that the Ancient Peoples of Britain and Ireland were descended from the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel. Some (probably most) of our most important sources come from Ireland.
One of the earliest sources of Irish tradition is the “THE LEABHAR GABHALA or the BOOK OF CONQUESTS OF IRELAND” which is also known as “The Book of Invasions”. It was written ca. 1171 CE. Various versions of this book exist. The book itself appears to be a collection of different traditions. The compiler of “The Book of Invasions” attempts to reconcile different traditions that sometimes contradict each other. The book discusses the history of the Milesians who are also known as Goidels and as Hiberi. “Hiberi” means Hebrew. The peoples we call Celtic peoples who dwelt in Ancient Britain and Ireland did not call themselves Celts. They called themselves “Hiberi” or Hebrews. They identified themselves as Hebrews and some Roman accounts appear in their own way to have also identified them as Hebrews. “The Book of Invasions” in one place records a woman named Scota (who was the ancestress of the Goedels) as living around the time of Moses. Elsewhere the book has this same person named Scota (or someone with the same name) living during the reign of Pharoah Nectonebus who reigned about 520 BCE which was almost a thousand years after Moses. The author of “The Book of Invasions” had come across a tradition that the ancestors of the Irish sojourned in Germany on their way westward from Scythia. He had another tradition that they had come from Spain to Ireland. The conflicting traditions are understandable since historically Ireland, like the rest of the British Isles, received immigrating groups of people from several areas. Israelites came to the British Isles by two major paths: One path was via the Mediterranean Sea and Spain to Ireland and Britain. The other path was through Scythia across Europe and Germany to Britain and Ireland. The narrator of the Book of Invasions repeats the tradition that the ancestors of the Irish in Egypt had been somehow attached to the CHILDREN OF ISRAEL. The Goidels were also known as Hiberi and as Milesians descendants of Mil. The names of the Sons of Mil are Hebraic and they have Israelite Tribal significance:
There is Eber whose name is the same as the Hebrew “Heber”.
LOUIS HYMAN, for instance, wrote a history book entitled: “The Jews of Ireland”, Jerusalem, Israel, 1972, on p.1 Hyman reports:
“It is stated in very old copies of The Book of Invasions and other ancient documents that it was the Mosaic law that the Milesians brought into Errin [i.e. Ireland] at their coming; that it had been learned and received from Moses in Egypt by Cae Cain Beathach, who was himself an Israelite, who had been sent into Egypt to learn the language of that country by the great master Fenius Farsaith, from whom the Milesian brothers, who conquered Errin [i.e. Ireland], are recorded to have been the twenty second generation in descent; and it is stated in the preface to Seanchas Mord that this was the law of Errin [i.e. Ireland] at the time of the coming of St.Patrick”.
Seanchas Mord was the major work of Ancient Irish law. It was a kind of constitutional document. Hyman says that in the preface to this document (Seanchas Mord) it says that the Law of Moses was the law of Ireland before St. Patrick came.
Hyman in effect reports that old copies of the Book of Invasions and other old documents state that the Goidels or Milesian Irish at one time had kept the Mosaic Law and at least some of them were descended from Israelites.
Whether the ancient Irish before the coming of St. Patrick really did keep the Law of Moses or not is uncertain but we do know that in Scotland there was a long tradition of food taboos similar to those found in the Law of Moses. These taboos appear to have existed before the coming of Christianity and they were associated somehow or other with Israelite origins.
THE SCOTTISH-ISRAELITE FOOD TABOOS
Donald A. MacKenzie (“Scottish Folk Lore And Folk Life. Studies in Race, Culture, And Tradition”, London & Glasgow, 1935) gave a report of food prohibitions amongst the Scottish.
MacKenzie said that:
In northeast England (bordering Scotland),
“fishermen dislike reference being made to the pig in connection with their work”.
MacKenzie reported that: In Scotland an aversion to the pig is deep rooted even now and was much stronger in the past. This aversion exists amongst both Highlanders and Lowlanders. “There are still thousands of Highlanders and groups of Lowlanders who refuse to keep pigs or to partake of their flesh”.
MacKenzie quotes from Sir Walter Scott (“The Fortunes of Nigel”):
“Sir Munko cannot abide pork, no more than the King’s most sacred majesty, nor my Lord Duke Lennox, nor Lord Dalgarno...But the Scots never eat pork strange that! Some folk think they are a sort of Jews.”
“The Scots [i.e. Lowlanders] till within the last generation disliked swine’s flesh as an article of food as much as the Highlanders do at present”.
Also from Sir Walter Scott (“The Two Drovers”) we have an account of a Highlander cursing in Gaelic some Englishmen who had been ridiculing him. The Highlander said:
“A hundred curses on the swine eaters, who know neither decency nor civility!”
James-vi of Scotland (who became James-i of Great Britain) “hated pork in all its varieties”.
In the 1600s there was a Civil War in England, between the King of England and the supporters of Parliamentary Constitutional Government. The Scottish also took part in this war. A song against Scottish partisans of the Rump Parliament (1639-1661) went:
“The Jewish Scots that scorns to eat
The Flesh of Swine, and brewers beat,
‘twas the sight of this Hogs head made ‘em retreat,
Which nobody can deny.”
This song mocked the Scots and called them “Jewish” because they would not eat swine.
J.G. Dalyell (1691):
“Why do Scotchmen hate swine’s flesh?”....
“They might borrow it of the Jews”...
“The same prejudice, though infinitely abated, still subsists. Yet it is not known that swine have been regarded as mystical animals in Scotland. Early in the seventeenth century the aversion to them by the lower ranks, especially in the north, was so great, and elsewhere, and the flesh was so much undervalued, that, except for those reared at mills, the breed would have been extirpated”.
A certain Captain Burt on duty in Scotland in 1730 wrote:
“Pork is not very common with us, but what we have is good. I have often heard that the Scots will not eat it...It is here a general notion that where the chief declares against pork, his followers affect to show the same dislike...”
Mackenzie says that, “Burt also refers to the Scottish prejudice against eating eels …”.
“The vulgar inhabitants of Skye, [Skye is an island off the coast of Scotland] I know not whether of the other islands, have not only eels but pork and bacon in abhorrence; and accordingly I never saw a hog in the Hebrides, except one at Dunvegan”.
Rev. L. Grant (1793):
“the deep rooted prejudice against swine’s flesh is now removed...”
Dean Ramsay (1793-1872):
“The old aversion to the `unclean animal’ still lingers in the Highlands.... I recollect an old Scottish gentleman who shared this horror, asking very gravely, `Were not swine forbidden under the law and cursed under the gospel?’“.
John Toland (1714):
“You know how considerable a part of the British inhabitants are the undoubted offspring of the Jews and how many worthy prelates of this same stock, not to speak of Lords and commoners, may at this time make an illustrious figure among us.... A great number of ‘em fled to Scotland which is the reason so many in that part of the Island have a remarkable aversion to pork and black puddings to this day, not to insist on some other resemblances easily observable.”
D.A. MacKenzie claimed that the taboo against eating pork preceded Christianity and that the coming of Christian missionaries to Scotland actually weakened the prohibition. Mackenzie stated that after examination it appeared to him that in ancient Scotland there were two different cults or attitudes, one of which regarded the pig with abhorrence while the other revered it. The Picts in northern Scotland had two clans; one was called the Clan of Bears (Orcs) and the other The Clan of Cats. Ancient pictures of wild boars have been found engraved on rocks in Scotland. A first century b.c.e. grave in Scotland contained what appears to have been a pig offering and other finds indicate the consumption of swine, that there were pig-eaters in Scotland.
Mackenzie proves that in Gaul, in Ireland, and in other parts of Britain, pigs were both plentiful and respected. Most of the Celts eat a lot of pork. The boar was a favorite symbol. Pigs were reared for meat all over the Celtic area. The Celts on the Continent even had a well-developed industry preserving swine meat that they sold to the Romans. The Celts in Europe were famous for their pig meat. Archaeological findings from Celtic areas in Europe often reveal preserved swine flesh in various containers.
A good portion of the population of Scotland only arrived there well after ca.200 BCE. They came to Scotland via Ireland or via Spain or via Scythia and the north. Different groups settled in different areas of Scotland yet the pig taboo was accepted all over Scotland by a good proportion of the populace and the prohibition was deeply entrenched in popular consciousness. A good portion of the peoples of Scotland would not eat pig meat. Eels, rabbits, and hares are also forbidden by the Mosaic Law and the Scotts had prejudices against all of these animals. They refused to eat them even though they are popular foods amongst the neighboring English. The obvious place to look for the source of these prohibitions is in a past exposure to and acceptance of the Mosaic Law and this was the source to which observers in the past usually traced these taboos. It is interesting to note that from time to time certain fish and birds that the Mosaic Code (of Ancient Israel) does permit came under a ban and were tabooed but the taboo did not last. Only in the case of animals that are expressly prohibited by the Law of Moses did the taboo last or become widely accepted in Scotland. There are indications that in some parts of Celtic Britain and in Brittany of France similar taboos against forbidden foods to those in Scotland did once exist at least to a degree.
It should be noted that abstaining from foods that are prohibited by the Mosaic Law has physiological advantages conducive to long-term physical and emotional stability. It is healthy to keep Kosher and to only eat Kosher foods.
We can conclude from the Irish traditions and from the food taboos in Scotland and elsewhere in Britain that at some stages at least a portion of the so-called Celtic peoples in Britain and Ireland must have kept at least part of the Laws of Moses. This is consistent with our knowledge that these peoples were Hebrews. They called themselves Hebrews (Hiberi) and they were descended from the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel
Geoffrey Keating (ca.1570-1646): THE HISTORY OF IRELAND FROM THE EARLIEST PERIOD TO THE ENGLISH INVASION, by Rev. Geoffrey Keating (ca.1570-1646), translated by J. O’Mahoney, New York, 1866.
Keating says that the Invaders of Ireland were first the Partholanians, then the Nemedians, the Fomorians, the Fir Bolg, the Tuatha de Danaan [i.e. the People of Dana] (who came after being defeated by “Syrians”), and finally the Milesians (descendants of Niul) whose ancestor had been an associate of Caei the Eloquent from Judah (sic.) who was also known as Iar son of Nemha. Niul befriended the Children of Israel under Moses and was offered a portion with them in the Promised Land but he declined and so was given by Moses a thousand men and a fleet of ships when he left the country. Niul begat Esru and Esru begat Sru. Due to the resentment of the Egyptians they left Egypt and went to Scythia. Fifteen generations later led by Batha son of Degatha their descendants migrated to Spain. They were called the sons of Miledh. From the heart of Spain they were driven into the northwest of Spain to Galicia in Spain and from there they launched their invasion of Ireland.
We see from this account of Keating that the ancestors of the Milesians were associated with Caei the Eloquent from Judah (sic.) who was also known as Iar son of Nemha. IAR is an important figure in Gaelic history. Keating terms Iar, “Iar son of Nemha” and he says he was also known as Caei the Eloquent from Judah. Iar is therefore linked by Keating to both Nemha and to Judah. Iar is the son of Nemha and he is also known as Caei from Judah. “Nemha” (i.e. in “Iar son of Nemha” above) means sanctified and it means the same as the Hebrew name “Paresh” which means separated or sanctified. Paresh in the Bible fathered a group in Gilead of Menasseh with whom Yair in the Bible was associated and identified with! Yair in the Bible was linked with both Menasseh and with Judah. The descendants of Yair were known in the Middle East as the Iari. The Iari descended from Yair. Keating in effect confirms the identification of Iar of Irish tradition with Yair of the Bible.
The Bible in
[Numbers 32:39] AND THE CHILDREN OF MACHIR THE SON OF MANASSEH WENT TO GILEAD, AND TOOK IT, AND DISPOSSESSED THE AMORITE WHICH WAS IN IT.The Bible in the First Book of Chronicles chapter 22 speaks of the sons of Judah. Judah had five sons. He had two of his sons (Zerah and Pharez) by Tamar. Hezron was a son of Pharez son of Judah. The Bible tells us that Hezron had sons named: JERAHMEEL, AND RAM, AND CHELUBAI [1-Chronicles 2:9]. The Bible goes on to tell us that from Ram son of Hezron son of Pharez son of Judah emerged the family of King David. Then the Bible tells us about the genealogy of CALEB [i.e. CHELUBAI] THE SON OF HEZRON [1-Chronicles 2:18]. After that Scripture, returns to deal with Hezron and tells us that in his old age Hezron married a daughter of Machir son of Menasseh and from this union emerged Yair who possessed cities in Gilead. Yair was thus through his father Hezron a descendant of Judah but on the side of his mother he was related to Machir and had his inheritance in Gilead.
From the above, from the verses in Chronicles, we see that there was someone called Yair who was descended on the side of his father from Hezron of Judah and on the side of his mother he was descended from Machir the son of Menasseh. Yair possessed towns in the territory of Machir who was the father of Gilead.
It is not our purpose at present to go into the question as to whether there was one person named Yair or several people of that name who lived more or less in the same area at different times. It is enough to notice that in the Bible the name Yair is linked both with Judah and with Machir son of Menasseh and that Yair possessed towns in the region of Gilead.
The name Yair in the dialect of Northern Israel and of Phoenecia would have been pronounced as Iar. Descendants of Yair are identified with the people known as the Iari who were very prominent in ancient times in the area east of the Jordan and in Northern Syria.
We saw that in the account of Keating about Irish Traditions Iar was termed Iar son of Nemh and that Nemh means the same as the Hebrew “Peresh”. In the Bible Peresh was linked with Machir the son of Menasseh and with Gilead. As we find:
[1-Chronicles 7:16] AND MAACHAH THE WIFE OF MACHIR BARE A SON, AND SHE CALLED HIS NAME PERESH; AND THE NAME OF HIS BROTHER WAS SHERESH; AND HIS SONS WERE ULAM AND RAKEM.
[1-Chronicles 7:17] AND THE SONS OF ULAM; BEDAN. THESE WERE THE SONS OF GILEAD, THE SON OF MACHIR, THE SON OF MANASSEH.
We do not know from the above verses whether Peresh was the son of Machir son of Menasseh and a brother of Gilead the son of Machir; or whether Peresh was another name for Gilead; or whether Peresh was a son of Gilead who was the son of Machir son of Menasseh. We do not know and at this point we do not have to know. It is enough to notice that Peresh in the Bible was linked with Gilead and with Menasseh the same way that Yair was linked with Gilead and Menasseh. In Irish tradition Iar is linked with Peresh (“Nemh” in Irish), Iar was called Iar son of Nemh, i.e. son of Peresh in Hebrew. Iar is also linked with Judah by Keating. Yair is linked with Judah in the Bible. Keating therefore provides us with additional evidence that the ancestor of groups in Ireland known, as “Iar” in Irish tradition was the same as the Israelite Yair mentioned in the Bible.
THE RED HAND OF ULSTER
In addition to the descent from Jair, discussed previously (Jair though born to Segub son of Hezron son of Pharez of Judah was actually counted with Menasseh), Calcol son of Zerah son of Judah was also recalled. Camden18 (1551-1623) stated that Calcol of Judah sailed from Egypt to Spain (where the city of Zaragossa was named after Zerah19), and then on to Ireland where he founded Ulladh. “Ulladh” (i.e. Ulster) has actually a name similar (in some types of Hebrew pronunciation) to that of ELADAH of Ephraim (1-Chronicles 7;20).
Zerah was the brother of Pharez and both were born to Judah (son of Israel) from Tamar. In Celtic Southwest Britain Ptolemy recorded the Tamarus River. There was also a Tamarus River in northwest Spain. Zerah and Pharez were twins. The manner of their birth is described in the Bible.
[Genesis 38:27] AND IT CAME TO PASS IN THE TIME OF HER TRAVAIL, THAT, BEHOLD, TWINS WERE IN HER WOMB.
The present day official symbol of Northern Ireland (Ulster) is a scarlet hand superimposed upon the Star of David which universally is taken as representing the Tribe of Judah and appears upon the flag of the modern State of Israel. The Star of David has twelve junction-points and shows how the Tribes of Israel were encamped around the Tabernacle when they came out of Egypt. The red hand has been interpreted to represent Zarah of Judah father of Calcol who according to the legend quoted above sailed to Ireland and founded Uladh (i.e. Ulster).
Bennett states that,
“the ancient and traditional emblem of Ulster was and still is a Red Hand circled by a Scarlet Cord”.
“Three of Ulster’s six counties, as well as the towns of Bangor and Dungannon, have the Red Hand as part of their official emblems”20.
From Ireland, the Scotts migrated to Scotland, and the Red Hand, says Bennett:
“appears in the Arms of several of the old families and in those of at least fourteen of the Clan Chiefs: Davidson, MacBain, MacNeil, MacNaughton, MacPherson, MacGillivray, MacDonald of Sleat, Clanranald, and Shaw of Rothiemurchus”21.
Another source of Classical Irish Mythological History are The “Annals of Clonmacnoise”, that were written sometimes after ca.1408 CE:
“Annals of Clonmacnoise, From the Creation to a.d. 1408,” translated into English by Conell MacGeoghagan, a.d.1627; ed. Rev.D.Murphy, Dublin 1896, University Press.
In these Annals a certain Bartholome is mentioned as coming to Ireland in the time of Semiramis who the author states lived at the time of Abraham. Semiramis historically was actually the mother or the widow of Pul. Pul was a king of Assyria who was responsible for exiling at least part of the Israelites. Pul has been identified (maybe wrongly) with Tiglathpileser-III. It is believed that Pul is another name for Tiglathpileser but this may be wrong. At all events Pul was one of the Assyrian monarchs responsible for exiling the Northern Israelites (1-Chronicles 5;26). Assuming that Bartholome does represent an historical group who did come to Ireland at the time of Semiramis we can say that Bartholomew came at the time when the Northern Israelites were exiled from Israel.
An old English version (by Roberts) of this same tradition said that the people who were led by Bartholome who sailed to Ireland came from Israel via Spain.
“The Annals of Clonmacnoise” say that “Jaruanell” was amongst those who came next to Ireland. He came from Greece along with Brittan who was the ancestor of the Welsh. The name “Jaruanell” is another form of the name IAR who was an ancestor of peoples in Ireland and Scotland and identified as Yair of the Bible. Yair belonged both to the Tribe of Menasseh and to the Tribe of Judah. The Assyrians referred to the descendants of Yair as the Iari.
“The Annals of Clonmacnoise” say that “The Tower of Conyn” (of “Conan” in other versions) was conquered by invading Fomorians. The “Ffirvolge” also invaded Ireland. The “Ffirvolge” in other accounts are called the Fir Bolge or sons of Bolge and they were the Belgae, groups of whom settled in Britain, Ireland, and Belgium.
“The Annals of Clonmacnoise” say that The “Twathy de Dannan” came from Greece. In other accounts these people, called by the Annals “Twathy de Dannan” are usually referred to as the “Tuatha de Dannan” meaning the “People of Dana”. They were from the tribe of Dan. There was a strong connection in Ancient Times between the Greeks and the Israelite Tribe of Dan. The founder of Greek Civilization in Greek eyes was called Danaus. Ancient Classical authors (such as Manetho and Diodorus of Sicily) identified Danaus of Greek tradition with Dan of Israel. In Hebrew Greece is Javan and the Prophet Ezekiel linked Dan and Javan (Greece) together as traders with the Phoenician city of Tyre on the coast of Lebanon.
[Ezekiel 27:19] DAN ALSO AND JAVAN GOING TO AND FRO OCCUPIED IN THY FAIRS: BRIGHT IRON, CASSIA, AND CALAMUS, WERE IN THY MARKET.
The last and most important group of immigrants, recorded by “The Annals of Clonmacnoise” was the Milesians who are described as descended from Neale. The name “Neale” is sometimes understood to be a form of Beale or Bel and Britain was known as “The Honey Isle of Bel”. Bel was a Mesopotamian, Syrian, and Northern Israelite form of the name “baal”. “Baal” was the god of the Canaanites and of neighboring peoples including the Israelites who left the worship of God and became pagans and worshipped baal. That was why they were exiled, because they worshipped “baal” and other pagan gods. This is described in 2-Kings chapter 17 at some length. The Annals say that Neale went to Egypt and settled in a place called Capacyront. The name Capacyront is said to be derived from the Hebrew “Pi-hahiroth” (Exodus 14;2).


If you have an auto the final gear ratio is close to that of a manual with 3.73 gears. I wouldnt worry about it very much just realize you will lose a couple MPG on the highway and your rpms will always be higher from no on.
Get OEM ford gears (ford racing) and the ford tlok as well.
You can also find an 8.8 rear end with gears in it already, either way you are looking at around 600-700 bucks to get it done right (make sure you do as well... half assing it and cheap jobs = having to do it ALL over again as installation of gears is not just something you can toss in they have to be setup right backlash, pinion depth, crush sleve, wear pattern, if they dont set those things... or know what they are go elsewhere)

Parents say they need more help with back-to-school costs as inflation eats away at family budgets
Ministers are facing increased pressure to help struggling parents with rising back-to-school costs as inflation means some have to pay hundreds of euros more than last year for books , uniforms and equipment.
advocates say action is needed to prevent children from being harmed due to inflation. The National Parents Council Post Primary (NPCPP) says the bills have gone up from €1,250 per child last year to €1,500 today because of inflation.
He called on schools to ensure that pupils whose parents struggle to pay bills or make contributions to schools are not identifiable by other pupils.
“The only thing that hasn’t increased are the so-called voluntary contributions, but we feel they shouldn’t be there anyway,” said NPCPP communications director Paul Rolston.
“The biggest problem with these is the potential identification of those who cannot pay and the potential further isolation of children whose parents cannot pay.
“We are appalled at cases where children cannot get lockers or participate in activities because parents cannot pay the contributions and we are adamant schools should be aware and sympathetic of those who cannot pay. .”
Michelle Murphy, research and policy analyst for Social Justice Ireland, said more parents needed support to cope with the rising cost of living.
“Back-to-school costs are an issue every year, but now I think it’s an issue for families where it probably wasn’t an issue before, due to rising energy costs, food costs and those that are passed on to consumers,” she says.
While back-to-school clothing and footwear allowance rates were recently increased by €100, Ms Murphy said the school meals scheme will also need to be expanded to support more families in need.
Government sources say costs are being watched and new measures are unlikely to be announced ahead of the budget, but they would like to see more schools take advantage of book rental schemes and encourage the use of generic uniforms. .
