I never really got into freezing meals. I’m not sure why. Strange way to start a post about freezer-friendly meals, eh? Stick with me. I’m going somewhere, I promise! I guess I never really grew up in a house where meals were prepared in advance and frozen. I was raised by a working mother who was also a single parent so I bet it would have been a great thing for her. And the more I think about it, it seems crazy to me to not have been taking advantage of double batch cooking and freezing given my own lifestyle.
I do a lot of cooking both for my family and for work purposes so there’s always freshly prepared food in the house, but that doesn’t mean I don’t sometimes find myself scrambling for a dinner idea at 5:00 because the day has gotten away from me. All parents go though this and whether you work inside the home or out, I think we can all agree, there is never enough time in the day. I’m a work-at-home-mom with two boys (ages 22 months and 4 years) and my life seems to get crazier every day. I know you can relate, which is exactly why I find myself searching for ways to gain extra time in my day. Freezing meals has definitely become one of my new favorite time savers.
Making a double batch of something that freezes and reheats beautifully is really a game changer. No more panicking if i’m running late. Those take-out menus stay in the drawer. These days if I’m frantic about what to make for dinner, I quickly remember to check my freezer to see what’s stashed and begging to be eaten. It literally feels like Christmas morning when I open the foil and see that my hard work has paid off in spades.
The flavor of these shells are creamy and delicious and are a veggie filled take on the classic stuffed shells recipe thanks to the addition of spinach and artichoke. Think: spinach and artichoke dip stuffed into pasta shells—OMG! Spinach and Artichoke Stuffed Shells are hearty and well balanced vegetarian fare. Pair this dish with a wonderful side salad and you have yourself one fantastic make-ahead, freezer friendly meal.
Freezer Friendly Spinach and Artichoke Stuffed Shells
Makes 2 batches of stuffed shells (enough for 8 people or two dinners for 4 people if freezing one batch)
1 box large pasta shells
1 large clove garlic
1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
1/4 cup parmigiano cheese, plus extra for topping
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 box of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and throughly squeezed dry
1 (15 ounce) can of artichokes packed in water, drained
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Cook shells according to packaged directions for al dente. Drain and place onto a paper towel to dry while you make the filling.
3. Place garlic into the bowl of a food processor and process until finely minced. Add ricotta, parmigiano cheese, eggs, salt, pepper and nutmeg and process until mixture is well blended, about 30 seconds. Add in well drained spinach and drained artichokes and pulse mixture until spinach and artichokes are broken down but not pureed, about 20-25 pulses, total.
4. Spread approximately 1/3 cup of crushed tomatoes onto the bottoms of two 9×9 freezer friendly, oven safe, baking dishes (I actually used 10-inch pie plates and as able to fit 16 shells in each). Note: use a bigger cooking vessel if you need one large batch and aren’t planning on freezing any for a later date—a 9×13-inch pan should work perfectly.

http://gigaom.com/cleantech/via-moto...ectric-trucks/VIA Motors takes new vehicles made by automakers and hires engineering firms to add an electric powertrain and a lithium-ion battery pack to provide up to 40 miles of range. A gasoline engine will then kick in to charge the battery to run the electric motor, Lutz said during a press conference at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The technology is similar in concept to the GM’s Chevy Volt, and Lutz previously led development of the Volt at GM. The fuel economy should be around 100 miles per gallon, noted Lutz.
The Utah company plans to start converting vehicles from GM initially, including the Silverado, Tahoe and Express van, David West, chief marketing officer of VIA Motors, told me by phone after the press conference. The company is targeting corporate customers first, such as utility PG&E, but expects to start selling its hybrid vehicles in a few years (maybe 2013).
The trucks will likely be the most popular choice because of their attractiveness with fleet owners and consumers in North America, West said. The company is using multiple lithium-ion battery suppliers, including A123 Systems and Valence Technology, he added.
Prices for the hybrids will generally cost 35 percent more than their gasoline-only equivalent, but VIA expects the prices to go down as it increases production, West said. The hybrids also should deliver fuel savings and emission-reduction benefits that will appeal to corporate customers if not also consumers, he said.
So basically they're just adding in the batteries and charging system? It runs off batteries for up to 40 miles of travel, then switches to gas engine which also charges the batteries again.
I'd like to hear about how towing affects that 40 miles.
This is an electric vehicle concept I can get behind.
Member # 94
and I would have to believe that a payload, or significant tow vehicle, would really drive down the miles on battery.The VTRUX Extended Cab has a curb weight of 5,500 lbs and a full size bed; delivering a 1,500 lb payload capacity. The 402 hp high-torque electric motor gives ample towing capacity. VTRUX are available in 2WD and 4WD configurations with automatic traction control and all-wheel drive technology.
I do think, that given the right circumstance, this vehicle will find a great deal of acceptance.
In the future, I'd consider the large SUV - I typically drive about 50-60 miles per day, yet I have those occasional trips of 150+ miles. I've never understood the market for pure electric; even the Tesla that gets up to 300 miles per charge (per their marketing materials), if you get to the end of your charge, and you are at a charging station, then you have to wait 4-8 hours to recharge....and that could suck.
I don't post very often, but when I do it is meaningless
Stay thirsty, my friends!
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

When Bob Boilen and I sat down to record this week's podcast, we were a little bleary-eyed after staying up late the night before to see the The Flaming Lips' show at the 9:30 Club here in Washington, D.C. But — between the band's confetti cannons, laser light show and the electric, rainbow-colored unicorn that frontman Wayne Coyne rode into the audience (I'm not making that up) — it was well worth the loss of sleep.
Regardless of our bleary eyes, we each came to the table charged and ready to share the new music we're excited about this week, especially a moody new alt-J song, "3WW," and a remastered version of my all-time favorite Elliott Smith song "No Name No. 5," included in a twentieth anniversary reissue of Smith's Either/Or.
Guitar-and-bass duo Girlpool have also returned, with a bigger sound thanks to the addition of a drummer (hey, it works). We've also have pure pop nirvana from The New Pornographers, the gorgeous voice of singer-songwriter Joan Shelley and a heated protest song from English folk artist Frank Turner.
Also on the show: NPR Music contributor Mike Katzif stops by to share a blistering punk track from the band Hiccup and NPR Music Senior Editor Jacob Ganz joins us to talk about the sprawling, brilliant new Magnetic Fields album 50 Song Memoir. -- Robin Hilton
Bob's favorite rock band (and Tiny Desk alum) alt-J has released the first single off the upcoming third record. "3WW" begins as a gentle, acoustic number but soon enough, the bone-rattling bass slips in. The spacious tune also features a vocal performance from Wolf Alice's Ellie Rowsell. Alt-J's new album Relaxer comes out June 9 on Canvasback Music.
- Song: 123
- from Powerplant
Before now, LA-based Girlpool has only made use of bass, guitar, and unison vocals by Harmony Tividad and Cleo Tucker. On "123," the first single from their upcoming album, the band invites drums into its mix. One minute in, a snare roll signals the transformation, from brooding slow-burner to riffing anthem. The former Tiny Desk performers just signed to ANTI-, which will release the sophomore album Powerplant on May 12.
- Song: Neverwhere
- from Imaginary Enemies
NPR Music contributor Mike Katzif came into the studio to bring us a meaty pile of pop-punk. Hiccup's Hallie Bulleit and Alex Clute met as a made-for-TV house band on The Chris Gethard Show and the two, discovering their chemistry, brought in a drummer. From there they, in the punk tradition, overclocked their songs' lengths from thirty second bits of transitional music to two whole minutes of punky fun. The new album, Imaginary Enemies, comes out March 24 Father/Daughter.
03High Ticket Attractions
The New Pornographers
- Song: High Ticket Attractions
- from Whiteout Conditions
May we happily present a tasty and upbeat slice of songwriting from Canadian power pop superheroes The New Pornographers. The band, featuring Neko Case and A.C. Newman, has a consistently rewarding and reliable sound, with crazy catchy hooks that often veer slightly askew before re-centering and indelible harmonies, thanks in no small part to the golden voice of Case. Whiteout Conditions, the group's seventh full-length album, comes out April 7 via the band's own label, Collected Works Records.
06'81: How to Play the Synthesizer
The Magnetic Fields
- Song: '81: How to Play the Synthesizer
- from 50 Song Memoir
Beginning with his own conception in 1966, Stephin Merritt of The Magnetic Fields recounts his life, one song per year, on the new 50 Song Memoir, dredging up personal as well as cultural landmarks on his musical journey. With this track, brought to us by NPR Music's Jacob Ganz, Merritt channels Kraftwerk as he walks us through his own instruction manual to the synthesizer. Catch our First Listen of 50 Song Memoir now. The album comes out March 10 on Nonesuch.
A new piece from singer-songwriter Joan Shelley's upcoming, self-titled album. About the new record, Shelley tells NPR, "I'm all for adding only what is required, so in a way this was trying to get away with less." In this barren and lonely tune, she addresses an unbending soul whose "wild indifference is all centered around you." Joan Shelley, the artist's fifth album, comes out May 5 on No Quarter.

- Song: No Name No. 5
- from Either/Or
Twenty years after the release of the late artist's achingly beautiful classic album, Either/Or, we bring you a remastered version of "No Name No. 5," Robin's favorite cut from Smith. It's a sweet and devastating tune about the joy of being alone. A deluxe edition of Either/Or comes out this Friday on Kill Rock Stars (and includes additional bonus tracks).

- Song: The Sand In The Gears (Live)
- from The Sand In The Gears
Advisory: This song contains profanity.
English folk musician and past Tiny Desk player Frank Turner has spent the past decade spilling his heart on stage with just a guitar in his hands. The performance happened just outside of Washington, D.C. on the eve of President Trump's inauguration. Frank Turner premiered what has a become of staple of his recent performances. The song begins with a simple plea — "Can't I just spend the next four years at a punk show?" — and ends with a powerful call to action.


than I ever wanted to know. Since part of my problem was possibly related to my dogs, I’m going to share my new knowledge with you.
One thing I learned is that you’re supposed to clean under your refrigerator regularly, especially if you have pets. Now that I think about it, it’s a no brainer, but it just never occurred to me to do it in the four years I’ve lived in this house. It makes perfect sense (now) that dust and pet hair on the refrigerator’s coils will make the motor work harder and that keeping the coils clean will make a refrigerator work more efficiently and might even prevent expensive repairs down the road.
My research also revealed that refrigerators work by circulating air from the freezer.* If the vents inside the refrigerator are blocked, cold air can’t enter the refrigerator and it will not be as cold as it should be, no matter how high you crank the cold setting. (Yes, I tried that.)
With my new fridge knowledge, I carried out a two-part fix-it strategy. First, I removed the vent on the bottom of the fridge and the panel in the back of the fridge. Not surprisingly, I found a lot of dust and dog hair. I vacuumed both compartments thoroughly… and I’m pretty sure I heard the fridge sigh in relief. Next I investigated inside the fridge and, sure enough, there was a small plastic bag blocking the main vent. I moved the bag, and within a few hours my fridge was back to the normal temperature. I suspect the bag in front of the vent was the main problem, but cleaning the coils had to have helped, too. Either way, there’s a note on the calendar to clean under the fridge again in December and I plan to be a lot more careful to avoid putting things in front of the vent.

New school meal guidelines from the federal government have forced costs to go up for Tahlequah schools, while also increasing food waste and decreasing the number of students who eat from the salad bar.
Tahlequah Public Schools Board of Education Vice President Luke Foster asked about the changes this week during a monthly board meeting.
TPS Child Nutrition Program Director Rhonnie Kerns said changes to whole-grain and fruit-and-vegetable requirements will account for the biggest cost increase.
“We were already doing a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables; however, we were doing whole grain at 33 percent, and whole grain is now required at 51 percent, and it’s required on all grain products,” said Kerns. “So, if you serve a waffle at breakfast time, it has to be 51 percent whole grain, and we are going to pay at least a third to a half more for that case than we would for one that’s not so much whole grain. That’s where we’re looking at being the most affected – in the whole-grain world.”
Foster asked whether the district has seen an increase in the amount of food students throw away because of the guidelines.
“Apparently lots more things are being thrown out because you’re required to put it on their plate; now they don’t have the option,” said Foster.
Kerns said there hasn’t been a major change at the elementary level, but waste has increased at the middle- and high-school sites.
“They are required to take a fruit or a vegetable, and if they didn’t want that fruit or vegetable, we’re going to see an increase in waste as a result of that,” said Kerns.
Fewer students are also participating in a salad bar offering.
“The salad bar has changed dramatically because they put maximums on how many grains you can give them in a week, how much meat you can give them in a week, so things like tuna salad and chicken salad disappear, and things like croutons and nuts and sunflower seeds disappear,” said Kerns. “They’re not seeing nearly as much variety on the salad bar now, so [students] are not participating in that as heavily.”
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service, the new standards “align school meals with the latest nutrition science and the real world circumstances of America’s schools.”
They are, according to the USDA, the first major changes in school meals in 15 years.

The national airspace is a complex network that includes airports, aircraft, and air traffic control facilities. The growing adoption of drones or uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) both by recreational users as well as state and federal applications to inspect infrastructure, aid in disaster and wildfire response, and deliver medical supplies, for example, poses a concern to national airspace safety.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is responsible for safely integrating drones into the national airspace however the Government Accountability Office (GAO) has found that the agency lacks a comprehensive strategy on the issue.
The FAA has developed various planning documents to manage its drone integration efforts but GAO found that the FAA’s documents partially include four of the seven elements of a comprehensive strategy but do not include the remaining three elements. For example, the FAA’s documents do not identify drone integration goals and objectives and only partially include milestones and performance measures for all activities.
FAA officials told the government watchdog that they are developing a drone integration strategy. The release of this strategy has however been delayed multiple times, and GAO said it is unclear whether or not it will provide a comprehensive approach.
GAO’s review also found that the FAA has not clearly communicated how drone operators’ requests to conduct advanced operations can meet specific requirements or what the FAA’s process is for reviewing and approving those requests. Currently, drone operators seeking to conduct advanced operations not allowed under existing rules must submit operational requests by applying for waivers or exemptions to conduct these operations. However, more than half of 15 industry stakeholders told GAO that the FAA has not clearly communicated the requirements it looks for when reviewing and approving advanced operations. As a result, they faced challenges working with multiple FAA offices on these requests. For example, stakeholders said they experienced lengthy reviews of their requests, and at times received conflicting information from different FAA offices. Addressing these concerns, FAA officials said that they recognize that their process for reviewing operational requests is complex and that they plan to take steps to improve the FAA’s guidance.
According to the FAA’s own forecast, between 2021 and 2026, the recreational drone fleet will increase from about 1.58 million to 1.81 million and that the commercial drone fleet (those operated in connection with a business) will grow from 622,000 to 858,000.3 According to FAA, the commercial drone industry in particular is expected to expand rapidly as commercial drones become operationally more efficient and safe, battery life expands, and drone regulations evolve to support more complex drone operations.
To safely integrate these drones, the FAA says new regulations will need to be developed along with industry standards and aircraft certification requirements. Infrastructure will also be needed, such as a UAS traffic management system (referred to as UTM) intended to provide drone air navigation services in low-altitude airspace, which is below 400 feet.
To date, the FAA has taken an incremental approach to integrating drones by developing rules, policies, and procedures that allow for drone operations of gradually increasing risk and complexity. For example, the remote identification of drones (Remote ID) rule requires drones in flight to provide identification information—such as the identity, location, and altitude of the drone and its control station or takeoff location—via radio frequency broadcast. Drone operators must operate a Remote ID compliant drone beginning on September 16, 2023. Other activities include a planned series of rulemaking efforts that will address the use of drones beyond the visual line-of-sight. The FAA has also initiated several pilot programs and partnership arrangements to develop and test advanced drone concepts, capabilities, and operations. Further, it implements “No Drone Zones” in line with high profile and high traffic events such as the upcoming Super Bowl at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
However, the FAA shares GAO’s view that a comprehensive strategy is required and has begun developing one because FAA officials recognized that there was a need for a single comprehensive plan that reflected the agency’s overall vision for drone integration. FAA officials told GAO that they expect the draft strategy to be published in the first quarter of 2023. The FAA also concurred with GAO’s recommendation to evaluate its current documentation to identify options to more clearly communicate how applicants can satisfy drone operational request requirements and the FAA’s process for reviewing and approving operational requests.
“I’m glad to see GAO’s recommendations are focused on ones that will help the FAA accelerate action on safely incorporating UAS into the national airspace,” Former Deputy Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration and now Partner at Guidehouse, Patricia Cogswell told Homeland Security Today. “I know the FAA and others recognize the importance of getting this right – given the complex security and safety issues that exist – and agree it is important to approach it thoughtfully. Unfortunately, bad actors aren’t waiting for us to figure it out. I’m hopeful the FAA can now make progress rapidly.”
Cogswell said it is important to recognize that China and other strategic competitors aren’t waiting for these rules. “They’ve already built a strong position in the U.S. market, with many individuals and entities proceeding in advance of the FAA. We sometimes take it for granted that the U.S. is the world leader in aviation. If we don’t stay ahead of current technology and provide a regulatory framework industry can use to innovate, our competitors will take that from us.”

Yesterday, right on cue, on the occasion of India's Presidency of the UN Security Council, the Permanent Mission of India to United Nations, New York hosted a special event to unveil and launch the Aakash 2 at the United Nations.
Secretary General of the United Nations, H.E. Mr. Ban Ki-moon, was the Chief Guest at the Special Event, which was attended by a packed audience of 500 plus invitees, including 65 Ambassadors/PRs, media delegates, NGOs and select members of the Indian community.
At the unveiling
In his remarks, Secretary General H.E. Mr. Ban Ki- moon congratulated India on its Presidency of the Security Council during an 'extremely challenging month' and emphasised that India was a critical player on security issues. Terming India as a 'superpower on the information superhighway', he appreciated the launch of technologies such as the Aakash 2, which helped bridge the digital divide. Calling them 'great enablers' with potential to transform people's lives, he encouraged partners around the world to work with the United Nations to help young people reach for the sky and meet their dreams.
An official statement shared further that in his welcome address, Ambassador Hardeep Singh Puri, Permanent Representative of India to the United Nations in New York, noted that the device represented the development innovation which had the potential to fundamentally alter the development discourse.
He emphasised that the innovation seeks to empower and give access to quality education for all. He called for the need promote research and innovation in national institutions and create an eco-system of excellence right from the elementary level upto the institutions of high-end research and innovation. He emphasised that by partnering with key initiatives such as these, the UN development system would be able to 'force multiply' to achieve the MDGs of universal education and global partnership.
CEO of Datawind and referred to as the architect of the device, Mr. Suneet Singh Tuli, who flew in from Canada for the launch at the UN, also made a presentation and outlined that the purpose of the device was not to create an 'iPad killer' but to create a device for the most needy sections of society at costs that they could easily afford. Terming it a product of 'frugal innovation', Mr Tuli outlined that the device incorporated that best of innovative hardware design with a unique business model, and reflected Government of India's commitment to eliminating illiteracy by equipping all 220 million students in India over the next 5 years with low cost computers and internet.
The official statement added further that an interactive and interesting Q & A Session followed the presentations, in which several member states termed the device as 'revolutionary' especially from the perspective of requirements of developing countries and the need to replicate such technological innovations within the multilateral development agenda of the UN, which places increasing emphasis on public private partnerships.

Sharp Corp., the embattled maker of Aquos flat-screen televisions, plans to decide between competing bailout offers this week, people with knowledge of the matter said. The Japanese electronics company will discuss rival bids from state-backed Innovation Network Corp. of Japan and Taiwan's Foxconn Technology Group at a Feb. 4 board meeting, according to the people. Sharp aims to decide on a preferred partner at the meeting and announce a direction for its restructuring plan shortly afterward, the people said, asking not to be identified as the information is private.
Foxconn Chairman Terry Gou met Sharp's board at their Osaka headquarters Jan. 30 to make his case for a raised bid of about 660 billion yen ($5.4 billion), a person familiar with the matter has said. Though the Taiwanese company is offering more money, Sharp is leaning toward a deal with INCJ, which plans to invest about 300 billion yen and would keep the company's technology within Japan, people familiar with the matter said last month. Discussions on the competing proposals could drag on, and there's no certainty Sharp will reach a decision this week, one person said Monday. "We are in talks with INCJ and Foxconn on the restructuring of our LCD business for our turnaround, but nothing has been decided," Toyodo Uemura, a spokesman for Sharp, said by phone. Representatives for Foxconn, INCJ and Sharp's major lenders, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc. and Mizuho Financial Group Inc., declined to comment.

Soil degradation caused by climate change and human activities is one of the most pressing issues threatening food security, biodiversity and contributing to climate change, warns the United Nations. The earth’s soils are under threat from rising temperatures and erratic rainfall that are causing soil depletion, reduced crop yields, soil erosion, loss of fertility and salinisation. The decline in the soil’s ability to function as a carbon sink, a crucial element in mitigating climate change, is another concern. Sustainable farming practices, protecting natural habitats, and promoting organic farming and composting are key solutions to mitigate soil degradation and promote soil health.
Threatened by Climate Change: The Dire State of our Soil
The state of our soils is one of the most critical issues that we need to focus on in the face of climate change. The rising temperature, erratic rainfall, and unpredictable weather patterns have seriously impacted the soil health worldwide. According to the United Nations (UN), the world’s soils are threatened, and if the degradation continues, it will impact food security, biodiversity, and contribute to climate change.
The Dire Situation of our Soil
Soil degradation is the primary cause of soil depletion, which is threatening the world’s food security. According to reports, more than 815 million people worldwide suffer from hunger, and the number of malnourished individuals is expected to increase due to soil degradation. Studies have shown that in addition to reduced crop yields, soil degradation can cause soil erosion, which can lead to soil loss, increase waterlogging and flooding, reduce soil fertility, and soil salinization.
In addition, the decline in the soil’s ability to function as a carbon sink is another concern. The soil’s ability to absorb carbon from the atmosphere is crucial to mitigating climate change. However, the increased use of chemical fertilizers, monoculture farming, and land-use change is releasing carbon into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.
The Role of Climate Change
Climate change is the underlying factor in soil degradation. The rising temperature and erratic weather patterns associated with climate change contribute to an increase in erosion, loss of soil structure, and changes in soil biodiversity. The excessive rainfall, flooding, and droughts lead to rapid soil erosion, nutrient loss, and soil depletion.
The Role of Human Activities
Human activities have also contributed to soil degradation. Monoculture, overgrazing, deforestation, and excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides all contribute to soil degradation. Moreover, land-use change has contributed to the destruction of natural habitats, causing biodiversity loss, affecting the soil’s fertility and ability to sequester carbon.
Solutions for Soil Degradation
There are several solutions to address the dire state of our soil. These include:
Adopt Sustainable Farming Practices – Farmers should adopt sustainable farming practices such as crop rotation, no-till farming, and intercropping to promote soil health, reduce the use of chemical fertilizers, and increase soil fertility.
Protect Natural Habitats – The protection of natural habitats, such as wetlands and forests, is necessary to promote soil health and biodiversity.
Improving Water Use Efficiency – Improved water use efficiency can help reduce waterlogging, soil erosion, and soil salinization.
Promoting Agroforestry – Agroforestry is a land-use system that combines the cultivation of crops or animals with trees, promoting soil health and biodiversity.
Promoting Organic Farming – Organic farming promotes soil health and biodiversity, reduces the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and improves soil fertility.
Promoting Composting – Composting helps to increase soil fertility and reduces the need for chemical fertilizers.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What is soil degradation?
A: Soil degradation is the process that results in the decline in soil health and function. The degradation leads to a decline in soil fertility, structure, and biodiversity.
Q: How does soil degradation contribute to climate change?
A: Soil degradation contributes to climate change through the release of carbon into the atmosphere. The excessive use of chemical fertilizers, deforestation, monoculture farming, and other agricultural practices lead to soil degradation, which contributes to carbon release and global warming.
Q: What is the impact of soil degradation on food security?
A: Soil degradation impacts food security by reducing crop yields, decreasing soil fertility, and leading to soil erosion and loss. The resulting impact leads to the world’s food security being threatened, contributing to hunger and malnutrition.
The state of our soils is critical to our ability to mitigate climate change, ensure food security, and protect biodiversity. Soil degradation due to human activities and climate change has already had significant impacts on the world’s soils. Therefore, adopting sustainable farming practices, protecting natural habitats, and promoting organic farming can help mitigate soil degradation and promote soil health.

By Sarah Mac Donald - 02 September, 2014
Former US president, Jimmy Carter, who is a member of The Elders, has lent his backing to the campaign to criminalise the buyers of sex in Ireland.
In a letter to TDs and Senators, the former head of state urged Irish legislators to press on with legislation that targets pimps and those buying sex while protecting prostituted women and girls.
In his letter, Mr Carter refers to the Irish Government’s 12-month delay in introducing this legislation and he urges TDs and Senators to expedite it sooner rather than later.
“I hope that you will lead your nation towards the protection of prostituted women and girls with a sense of urgency,” he states.
Mr Carter describes the Justice Committee’s proposals as a “transformative approach to ending the exploitation, abuse, and trafficking of women and girls.”
In his concluding paragraph, Jimmy Carter warns that “Prostitution is inherently violent towards women and girls” and says he supports efforts to help those who are trapped in this industry.
Denise Charlton, CEO of the Immigrant Council of Ireland, is reported to have briefed Jimmy Carter before he sent his letter, which is dated 27 August 2014.
The Immigrant Council of Ireland has been campaigning for the introduction of a national action plan to protect victims of trafficking and ensure severe jail sentences for the criminals behind it.
A law, Act against human trafficking, which was introduced in 2008 can impose life sentences for trafficking, but critics warn that it is not being used.
Human trafficking and prostitution reportedly constitutes a €1 billion black economy in Ireland.
Jimmy Carter, who was a Democratic president from 1976-1980, is an active campaigner on human rights and public health throughout the world, through the Carter Centre he set up in 1982.
He won the Nobel Peace prize in 2002.

Recently I've been having a strange sensation on the right side of my face -- the back corner of my jaw, corner of my mouth, and corner of my eye sometimes feel "tight" or like they're drooping.
They aren't, however, actually drooping - that side of my face appears to work just as it always has, and just as the other side does - there's no paralysis or loss of movement. It just feels strange.
About two years ago I had surgery on the right side of my neck to remove a branchial cleft cyst. The surgery was successfull. Is it possible, after all this time, that nerve growth (or a nerve problem) could be responsible? Or does this seem like something else entirely?
All sensations like this that I've read about are accompanied by actual drooping, or tingly sensations and pain, which I have none of.

The values of BLM have long been shared by many Americans who have taken "indirect" action. They have voted based on the values, shared their views with people who wanted to listen and maybe sent letters and emails to the people in power. Change was attempted through influencing others to do the right thing.
This is a slow way to create change, and may not be effective. What happened to George Floyd motivated people to take more direct action. They broke with the expected way to cause indirect change and made more noise. Large protests and other actions to _demand_ change rather than relying on "safe" influence.
I believe that Americans who want to help achieve the policy goals of BLM can best do so through direct means.
In practice this can be done by taking a page from the libertarian playbook.
The BLM demands can be boiled down to: "the state, in it's current form, is insufficient and can not be trusted"
Trying to change this insufficient and untrustworthy institution isn't easy. It naturally resists change, and a coup is not something that should be done lightly.
But what about circumventing the state? Liberalism, and Anarcho-capitalism especially, has long claimed that a state may not be necessary. Whether or not you believe that to be true, the proposed mechanisms for a society without a central government could still be actively used in the BLM fight.
Here is a practical example:
Demand: "A systemic inquiry by the Office of the Independent Police Review Director to gauge whether there has been adequate disciplinary action taken against officers who use force against black people living with mental health issues"
Direct solution: Set up a bounty to incentivize investigative journalism into these cases. There are easy-to-use platforms to arrange such collection of bounty-money already, and it can be spread through social media. As the bounty grows, so does the motivation for investigative journalists to claim it. Pay-out only happens to journalists who manage to uncover and publish a strong case that a specific officer did not receive adequate disciplinary action.
Result: The failings of the current system gets exposed. An effective inquiry happens outside of the established Independent Police Review. It is clear that this was possible and necessary, yet the system did not take action. Trust in the system crumbles. The state has to adapt; it has to change. If people lose trust in the system, and find they can only get justice by circumventing it, this is the beginning of the end.
My example may not be the best. My overall proposal is for the regular American to find ways to *directly* cause the positive effects instead of relying on influence alone. When such a move is successful it creates positive change right away *and* becomes influential on the political scale as well.
Anybody can contribute to a bounty. There are likely platforms that already support such a thing, so setting it up may not be that hard either. Worst case it takes a BLM software developer to get the ball rolling.

Netizens are raving about BIGBANG Taeyang‘s long-awaited new single “Vibe” which features BTS‘s very own Jimin.
On January 13, THEBLACKLABEL released one of K-Pop’s most anticipated collaborations — BIGBANG Taeyang’s “VIBE,” featuring BTS’s Jimin.
The song is a modern take on classic R&B tropes and highlights all of the talents both artists had to offer to listeners. The music video is also a visual treat and features drool-worthy choreography and dance breaks from both idols.
The single marks the BIGBANG member’s first solo release in five years and a new start for Taeyang, who recently left YG Entertainment, his long-time home, albeit for the entertainment company’s subsidiary label THEBLACKLABEL.
The single was heavily anticipated as Taeyang, who is beloved for his unique singing voice, would be collaborating with BTS’s Jimin, who also is widely regarded as having one of the most recognizable voices in all of K-Pop.
Almost immediately after the release, netizens couldn’t help but rave about the song and the music video. Fans of both BIGBANG and BTS came together and celebrated the two generational talents.
- “Wow, both of their voices are crazy good.”
- “(The song) is even better when watching the music video.”
- “It might be because I had too high of an expectation for their performance, but I wish they showed more of it in the misc video. I think I read in an article that the two will come out on a music show. I really want to watch their performance in full.”
- “I’m falling deeper in love (with the song) the more I listen to it. Why are their voices so good?”
- “The song is good but sounds even better the more you listen to it.”
- “Seriously, the song is crazy good. Their voices are so good.”
- “I can’t wait for them to be on stage together.”
What are your thoughts? Check out the song’s music video in the link below!

myRA and the Debt Ceiling.
Buy Physical Silver Online
“The state is that great fiction by which everyone tries to live at the expense of everyone else.” ― Frédéric Bastiat
United States Treasury Secretary Jack Lew warned again today that the United States is at risk of default if Congress doesn’t raise the debt ceiling by the end of the month. Last October, Mr. Lew also warned that not raising the debt ceiling would lead to “a default that would be unprecedented and have the potential to be catastrophic.”
Mr. Lew’s statement calls into question an assertion the President made during his State of the Union address last week in respect of his myRA savings retirement plan that he created by executive order: “MyRA guarantees a decent return with no risk of losing what you put in.” That guarantee, of course, would be dependent upon Congress raising the debt ceiling when necessary in order to avoid a default so that timely interest payments could be made on the U.S. government bonds that would be held in the myRA retirement plans.
We suspect that myRA has been designed to set up the frame work to collect U.S. citizens’ retirement funds when the need arises. For now in order for a voluntary myRA scheme to work, however, potential bond purchasers would need to feel comfortable that the U.S. would never default on its obligations and if need be, in the words of former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan: “would pay any debt it has and always print money to do that.” Avoiding a debt ceiling debate and just raising it as a matter of course would go along way towards giving potential myRA participants comfort that they will always be paid.
Once substantial numbers of U.S. citizens hold Treasury Bonds through myRA or other government programs designed to convert retirement plans to government debt obligations, the prospect of default would fall to almost nill as no Congressman would vote not to raise the debt ceiling and be held responsible for his constituents not getting their monthly interest payments.
If increasing numbers of U.S. citizens lend money to the United States, the government will be able to fund its deficit spending so that it can continue to pay benefits, like Social Security and Medicare, to them.

What’s a Trigger Finger?
Trigger finger, also known as stenosing tenosynovitis, is a condition that affects the tendons in the fingers or thumb. It occurs when the affected finger or thumb becomes temporarily stuck in a bent position and then suddenly pops or snaps straight. This sensation is often compared to the action of pulling and releasing the trigger of a gun, which is how the condition got its name. Trigger finger can cause pain, discomfort, and difficulty moving the affected digit.
The tendons that bend the fingers and thumb glide through a tunnel-like structure called the tendon sheath. Trigger finger occurs when there is irritation, inflammation, or thickening of the tendon or the sheath, leading to difficulties in movement. Factors that contribute to trigger finger include:
- Repetitive Motion: Repetitive gripping or grasping motions can increase the risk of irritation and inflammation.
- Medical Conditions: Conditions like diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout can increase the risk of developing trigger finger.
- Age: Trigger finger is more common in individuals between the ages of 40 and 60.
- Gender: Women are more likely to develop trigger finger than men.
- Catching Sensation: The finger or thumb may get stuck in a bent position and then suddenly release with a snapping or popping sensation.
- Pain: Pain or tenderness at the base of the affected finger or thumb.
- Stiffness: Stiffness and difficulty straightening or bending the finger.
- Swelling: Mild swelling and a bump may be felt in the palm of the hand.
Diagnosing trigger finger involves:
- Medical History: Information about the patient’s symptoms, activities, and medical history.
- Physical Examination: Assessing the affected finger’s range of motion, any catching sensations, and swelling.
- Clinical Observation: Sometimes, the snapping or locking of the finger can be observed during the examination.
Treatment for trigger finger depends on the severity of the condition. Options include:
- Rest: Resting the affected hand and avoiding activities that worsen symptoms.
- Hand Splinting: Wearing a splint to immobilize the affected finger may help reduce irritation and promote healing.
- Medications: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or oral steroids may help reduce inflammation and pain.
- Hand Exercises: Gentle exercises and stretches can help improve finger mobility and flexibility.
- Corticosteroid Injections: Injecting corticosteroids into the tendon sheath can reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms.
- Surgery: In severe cases that do not respond to other treatments, a surgical procedure to release the tight portion of the tendon sheath may be considered.
If you suspect you have trigger finger or are experiencing symptoms, it’s important to consult with a healthcare provider. They can provide a proper diagnosis, recommend appropriate treatment options, and offer guidance on managing the condition effectively. Early intervention can help prevent worsening symptoms and complications.

“Weird Al” Yankovic – Hershey Thetre 9/13 – 8PM
Four-time Grammy-winning artist “Weird Al” Yankovic will bring his highly successful Mandatory World Tour to Hershey.
According to Al: “I’ve decided to do the Mandatory World Tour for one more year, after learning thatsome people didn’t make it out to the show this last time around. Apparently, they don’t know the meaning of the word ‘mandatory’!!”
“Weird Al” Yankovic is the biggest-selling comedy recording artist in history, earning four Grammys and 15 career nominations. He is best known for his hilariously irreverent parodies of hit songs by the biggest stars over the past three decades, including “Eat It,” “Like A Surgeon,” “Smells Like Nirvana,” “Amish Paradise,” “White & Nerdy,” and “Tacky.”
In 2015, Yankovic released his 14th studio album, the Grammy Award-winning Best Comedy Album Mandatory Fun making history as the first comedy album to debut at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart, and the first time a comedy album has reached the top of the chart in over 50 years. The single “Word Crimes” debuted in the Billboard Top 40, making him one of only three people to have had Top 40 singles in each of the last four decades (the other two are Michael Jackson and Madonna).
Yankovic has found success in multiple entertainment formats including the film world with his cult classic UHF, his CBS TV series The Weird Al Show, online with The Nerdist Channel with his faux celebrity interview web series Face 2 Face with “Weird Al” Yankovic, and the publishing world with Weird Al: The Book (an illustrated hardcover on Al’s life and career) and his children’s books, including the New York Times bestseller When I Grow Up.

A Salute to John Williams opens the Hershey Symphony’s 47th season with lightning bolts of music, as we celebrate America’s premier composer of film music.

One of the most successful artists on the road today, Elton and his band perform a concert you will never forget: the entire audience singing along to much-loved classic songs such as “Your Song”, “Rocket Man”, “Bennie and the Jets”, “Philadelphia Freedom”, “Crocodile Rock”, “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me”, and many more.
“We are so honored to welcome back Sir Elton John in Hershey – The Sweetest Place On Earth,” said Vikki Hultquist, Assistant GM of Facilities & Operations for Hershey Entertainment & Resorts. “Having him perform at the GIANT Center will mark another memorable moment for the venue.”
The monumental career of international singer/songwriter and performer Elton John spans five decades. He is one of the top-selling solo artists of all time with 35 gold records and 25 platinum albums, 29 consecutive Top 40 hits, and he has sold more than 250 million records worldwide. John holds the record for the biggest selling single of all time, “Candle in the Wind ’97,” which sold over 37 million copies. Since his career began in 1969 he has played over 4,000 concerts worldwide.

Lap Band May Treat Erectile Dysfunction and Other Sexual Difficulties
Recent studies show that weight loss may significantly improve one’s sex life, improving various types of sexual dysfunction, including erectile dysfunction, loss of libido, and trouble achieving orgasm in both male and female patients.
Those struggling with these issues who currently rely on pharmaceutical or medical methods may be able to discontinue these techniques following their Lap Band procedure. This information was recently discussed in detail in a press release through PRWeb, which covered material from several studies and professional opinions.
Significant Weight Loss May Greatly Improve Sexual Experience
According to Dr. Shahram Salimitari, “Sexual dysfunction is one of the numerous, potentially reversible conditions which is positively impacted through weight loss. Obese men are at risk for erectile dysfunction for a number of reasons, usually stemming from the other health complications they have affecting their sexual ability, such as lower testosterone levels or plaque in the arteries preventing an erection.”
The press release discusses two clinical studies pertaining to both men and women’s sexual health. A 2011 Australian study showed that men who lost 5-10% of their body weight in two months reported decreased erectile dysfunction and increased libido.
Two-thirds of the obese women who took part in a study through the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery reported that they experienced sexual dysfunction. Six months after bariatric surgeries such as Lap Band, these women had lost an average of 42 percent of their excess weight, and two-thirds of them reported complete resolution of their sexual difficulties.
This was measured clinically through marked improvements in their Female Sexual Function Index, a metric that details orgasm, arousal, desire, lubrication, pain and overall satisfaction. These areas are only likely to improve in the long term, as body weight continues to lower and self-confidence continues to increase.

Nurturing Gen Y
Members of the generation Y demographic will comprise 40 per cent of the workforce in a decade. Employers must nurture these current-day employees who are, after all, future managers. By Mark Story
The years of economic growth, which made hiring and retaining staff an increasingly tough act, created a benevolent climate for generation Ys starting work.
Now, with an economic downturn and the pendulum swinging away from their more eclectic skill sets, employers are questioning how a gen Y's attributes will influence their workplace culture and future management style.
The results of a survey of small to medium enterprises (SME) by SmartCompany suggest that for two-thirds of employers, poor spelling and grammar, and ignorance as to what constitutes appropriate workplace etiquette, are the major bugbears experienced when hiring twenty-somethings.
A more recent national Sensis Business Index survey is no less damning, with 1800 Australian SMEs regarding gen Ys as their least preferred employees. Unsurprisingly, only 13 per cent favour them over baby boomers and gen X employees.
Mining gen Y attributes
The reality is that gen Ys are increasing hard to ignore when hiring. They'll comprise 40 per cent of the workforce within a decade and will force generational change on workplace and management structures. Instead of snubbing them, businesses are being encouraged to prepare themselves.
Social researcher, Mark McCrindle, says it's high time employers started mining the attributes of gen Y employees, especially those who'll become future managers. For starters, he says, employers are more likely to improve and nurture gen Y loyalty by making conscientious efforts to overcome their well-publicised shortcomings while developing their strengths.
One of the biggest black marks to the hiring of gen Ys is their average two-year retention rate; half that of the national average. Even the recent graduate program of a major institutional bank could only retain 10 per cent of staff through to program completion. But, on an encouraging note, a national study of 3000 gen Ys revealed that 90 per cent would stay within the same company longer if relevant training was provided.
For employers, gen Y's primary claim to fame as tech-savvy (digital natives), free-spirited, innovative thinkers with finely developed social networking skills complements the growth parts of the economy (notably the services sector). However, McCrindle says if employers are genuine about cultivating them, they need to throw out the chain-of-command rule book and start creating a new workplace culture, with their gen Ys' input.
"Gen Y's bring excellent skills to today's workplace, and the work/life balance they've demanded has already delivered a quantum benefit for the entire organisation," says McCrindle, a trained psychologist.
So what can bosses do to cultivate the latent attributes of gen Y? If they want quick wins, Penny Ganas, Director of HR consultancy ReadyAimHire, suggests employers start by implementing an inclusive and participative management style and encourage open communication and transparency.
And, instead of spelling everything out for gen Y workers, she encourages managers to consult with them to develop more varied job descriptions and collaborative projects. Equally important, Ganas recommends tapping into what gen Ys want: monetary and non-monetary inducements like travel; flexible working hours; time in lieu; course attendance; and the option of working from home.
As well as equipping them with transferable skills, Ganas says it's also important that businesses begin training programs to teach the workplace skills that gen Ys are lacking. Based on McCrindle's research, "It's critical that management develop policies to embrace gen Y and develop a work/life culture where they can interact both socially and collaboratively," says Ganas.
According to young social entrepreneur, Alicia Curtis, who runs Alicia Curtis Leadership, employers should focus on providing future gen Y managers jobs with purpose, instead of just a shallow job description. She says employers who are serious about mining gen Y talent will create meaningful roles where individuals can make a real difference.
To Curtis, the big challenge for employers in mining gen Ys is balancing the role of manager with mentor. "Above all, gen Ys are looking for leaders, not bosses, and great learning, not lectures."

We only wanted a one way flight ticket and after looking at different options we decided that on this occasion it was cheaper to take an in-direct flight from the UK to Sal.
We flew with EasyJet on the 5p.m. flight from Gatwick to Brussels. EasyJet have no weight limit for hand luggage as long as it fits into the size gauge 54 x 40 x 20cm (however, you have to watch the weight because JetAir has a limit of 6kg). We paid the £11 each for hold luggage of 20kg – this was included in the £54 per person for the flight with EasyJet.
We had booked to stay in the IBIS (budget) hotel which wasn’t far from the airport and it was only £50 for both of us for the night. There was a FREE shuttle to the Ibis hotel from the airport which operates from 6a.m. – 9p.m. We were ok on the arrival time at Brussels to catch this shuttle bus.
After arriving at the IBIS we decided to go for something to eat. There wasn’t a restaurant in our hotel but there was an upgraded IBIS hotel next door where we could go for dinner. We were given a 15% discount voucher, so two meals with wine came to around 40 euros.
The hotel was comfortable enough, had everything we needed for a short stay. The next morning, we called a taxi to take us to the airport, as we needed to depart at 4a.m. and there was no free bus service at this time. The taxi cost 22 euros.
Our indirect flight to Sal with Jet Air was going to Boa Vista first then onto Sal.
JetAir include 15kg of luggage in the price per person but we paid an extra 5 euros each to up grade to 20kg. The cost of this flight with 20kgs + 6kgs hand luggage was £85 each. You can also pay 5 euros per person if you want to book a particular seat.
The plane departed on time from Brussels. We have to say the flight staff were great, very friendly, nothing too much trouble. We were given a continental breakfast and also soft drinks and tea and coffee were offered to us for free throughout the flight, cakes and biscuits too. Plenty of room when you are seated, films could be watched throughout the flight, it’s a totally different experience to the direct flight with Thomsons from the UK.
On landing at Boa Vista we had to stay on the plane while others departed and more people got on (those that were returning to Brussels). We were delayed at Boa Vista for an hour because a few people had to have some paperwork re-checked. We were then allowed to depart and it only took 20 mins to reach Sal.
Would we do anything different next time? We may consider staying at the Sheraton Hotel in Brussels Airport next time, it would have cost slightly more but we wouldn’t have had to use the free bus service, then pay for a taxi the next morning.
NOTE: On both flights you need to print off your boarding pass before you arrive at the airport.
The cost per person in June was:
Ibis Hotel: £25
Taxi from Ibis: £10
Jet Air: £85
Total: £174 each + Dinner costs
Has anyone any comments on the above, anything to add?

Music, theatre, and dance at Grand Avenue
Music, dance, theatre… whatever you’re into, here you will find many options to enjoy.
A cultural offering for the afternoons.
Number 135 Grand Avenue, right in the historical centre of Los Angeles, contains two ideal venues for enjoying music. The first of these is the Walt Disney Concert Hall (www.laphil.com), a building which brings to mind the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, and for a good reason, as it was designed by the same architect, the famous Frank O. Gehry. Its unique design, featuring curves and waves, lined externally with stainless steel, represents a blooming rose. Inside, one can enjoy the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, one of the biggest in the United States, which offers regular shows, though at a very high price. Next door, the group of three adjacent buildings make up the Music Centre of Los Angeles (www.musiccenter.org). They are the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, the Ahmanson Theatre, and the Mark Taper Forum. Over a million spectators turn up each year to enjoy the shows, among which we can highlight those offered by the Los Angeles Opera, at one time directed by Plácido Domingo. Its varied cultural offering also includes dance and theatre, as well as art festivals and all sorts of artistic and educational workshops.

Day in and day out, we brush our teeth – while sifting through the mail before bed, while standing in the office bathroom after a tuna fish sandwich lunch, while bumping elbows with a pesky little brother over the shared sink. We brush our teeth and we teach our children how to brush their teeth as well, because it is the foundation of good oral hygiene. But what exactly is going into our mouths that keep them so clean and healthy? Toothpaste is made up of both active and inactive ingredients: active ingredients prevent tooth decay and gum disease, while inactive ingredients determine the taste and texture of toothpaste. So the next time you throw a tube in your shopping cart, take a moment to check that the following ingredients are present:
Flouride is the main active ingredient in toothpaste that fights decay and helps protect your teeth from developing cavities. It’s a mineral that strengthens tooth enamel and prevents it from wearing down and staining when we indulge in acidic or pigmented foods and drinks, such as berries, wine, and coffee. You can find many fluoride-free toothpastes, but only those containing fluoride have the American Dental Association’s (ADA) Seal of Acceptance.
Desensitizers are active ingredients that help soothe teeth which are sensitive to hot or cold foods, drinks, and air. Not all toothpastes have desensitizing ingredients, but you may want to seek out one that contains potassium nitrate or strontium chloride if you experience tooth sensitivity. Desensitizers work by blocking the pain signal before it reaches the nerve, which can ease your feeling of discomfort.
Abrasives are technically inactive ingredients – because they do not directly fight cavities or gum disease – but abrasives are the agents actively removing the stains, plaque, and tartar from your teeth. The ancient Egyptians and Romans used to use crushed egg or oyster shells to scrape off tooth debris, but today’s toothpastes contain gentler abrasives – such as calcium carbonate, dehydrated silica gels, and hydrated aluminum oxides – in place of sharp, rough shells. These abrasives clean and polish the surface of teeth without scratching or damaging the tooth itself.
Sweetening agents are inactive ingredients that give toothpaste its flavor – anything from mint to cinnamon to fruit-flavored pastes. And even with added sweeteners such as saccharin and sorbitol, toothpastes can still earn the ADA’s Seal of Approval, because these sugar substitutes do not cause tooth decay like real sugars do.
Humectants are inactive ingredients that prevent water loss. Glycol and glycerol agents give toothpaste its smooth texture and prevent it from drying up in the tube (even down to those last, few drops).
Just like laundry detergents create a sudsy boil in the washing machine, toothpaste detergents are responsible for the foamy build-up that occurs when you brush your teeth. The foam keeps toothpaste in your mouth – so go ahead and lather, rinse, and repeat with sodium lauryl sulfate.
Like desensitizers, whiteners are not always present in toothpastes, but if you are searching for a paste that will reduce stains on your teeth, then keep an eye out for peroxide, a common whitening agent.
A good toothpaste is the first step to keeping your teeth and mouth fresh, clean, and cavity-free. The second step for good oral health is regular check-ups with your dentist – if it’s time for a scheduled cleaning, call Boyett Family Dentistry at 863-294-1916 and make an appointment today.

text: Hilary, St., "of Arles," was born about 401 on the borders of Lorraine. He succeeded his kinsman St. Honoratus as Bishop of Arles and Metropolitan of Vienne and Narbonne. In this latter capacity he deposed Chelidonius, Bishop of Besancon, against, the orders of Pope Leo I., who deprived him of his functions, a sentence confirmed by the memorable edict of Valentinian III. He continued, however, to exercise the duties of his see until his death in 442. Besides his reputation for austere piety and devotion to the Gallican Church, he enjoyed some fame as an author, his extant Life of St. Honoratus and Metrical Version of the First Chapters of Genesis showing considerable literary power. In the Roman Calendar his day is kept on May 5. Some writers consider him to have been the author of the so-called Athanasian Creed.
