Position your front foot near the middle and your back foot on the tail – The best position is for the ball of your back foot to be slightly hanging off, and the front foot more towards the middle. The position of the front foot can change, however, depending on how much air you want to get: if you’re planning on doing a monster jump, move the front foot closer to the back; if you’re just hopping a little bit, move it closer to the front of the board itself. Beware though, the closer you move it towards the back foot, the harder the trick is to perform.
Made with bamboo and fiberglass, this board is tough, flexible and ready for anything. The construction is designed to feel and act like a snowboard. The drop-through design is perfect for freestyle longboarding, commuting, carving, pumping and more. It gives you better stability and more wheel clearance. The board is definitely best designed for carving but tricks and kicks are easily done as well.
The board also boasts of its reasonably small size and lightweight nature, making it easy to control and ride. In addition, carrying it wherever you want to go is also much easier because of its lightness. It is flexible enough that it can accommodate the needs of different kinds of users, including cruisers, travelers, beginners, expert riders, and kids.
After that I went to my regular Olley spot to practice, fell so hard three times. My legs were so fucked up from the day before. Now I feel like shit because I had problem with a 20cm ledge I landed at least 100 times up and down yesterday. I’m even capable of 50cm ledges at slow speed, but I only get the front wheel and the board up so I have to put pressure on the nose to get it all the way up.
This can be tricky to figure out, so just take your time and relax. The first few times you try and ollie, it helps to not worry about this part. You will end up doing a sort of half-ollie, popping just a little in the air. Or, you might fall! But, don't worry, this is all part of learning. If you want though, you can certainly start with rolling your ankle when you try and ollie - whatever works for you! Eventually, you will need to roll and drag, and you'll figure it out. Just take your time!
An Ollie is basically an upward/forward jumping trick. The name “ollie” comes from the nickname of Alan Gelfand who created the ollie in 1976. The ollie was then modified for flat-ground use by Rodney Mullen in 1982, and it is this flat-ground version of the ollie which is most commonly referred to as the ‘ollie’ today. The ollie is arguably the most important trick in skateboarding because it is the foundation of the majority of skateboard tricks which require lift. When you want to do a trick like the kickflip, when you want to get onto something like a ledge, or down something like a set of stairs, or try handrails, the ability to ollie is a necessity. Therefore the ability to ollie high and with good control is critical to your total skateboarding skill-set.
EXPERIENCED SKATER! This board is amazing for the price! (notice i said FOR THE PRICE) At the time of this review, the board was $44.40 and for that price the board i got was phenomenal. It is a 7-ply deck with aluminum trucks (havent figured out the bearings but they definitely feel like the abec 5 they claim to be). The trucks arent the best quality out there and the board can be a little thinner (maybe 5-ply) but the overall board is amazing. There are only two complaints. The hole in the wheels is a tiny TINY TIIINYYY bit off center, but nothing that cant be fixed with a new set. I can see what another review said by it not coming assembled, as a couple of the bolts on the wheels are a little loose, but the board does come assembled.
GREAT board. Great design graphics. The boards deck has a real POP to it that makes it GREAT for tricks and a AWESOME beginner board. Only problem is It's super slow and requires a lot of work to maintain speed or to pick up speed period. A simple $20 wheel barring upgrade will fix that and BOOM PERFECT board, PERFECT caved in deck. Only 4 stars because of the lack of speed. I prefer my boards ready out of the box already pre-upgraded, but for the price, no point in complaining. Like almost all new boards, u have to ajust the wheels and the flex of the board to customize it to your liking. You won't regret it. But order it with some "Lucky" or "Red bearings" and your set.

5th March, 2012
Still basking in the euphoria of the success recorded by her last film, Sunmisola Otelemuye, Yoruba actress, Faithia Balogun is back on location with a new movie entitled Street Girls.
Street Girls was shot late last year In Ilorin where Fathia assembled the best of stars including English actress Oge Okoye to her set. Other thespians in the flick include Femi Adebayo, Aishat Abimbola, Mercy Aigbe and Seun Akindele to mention a few.
It was co-directed by the duo of Abbey Lanre and Tope Adebayo.
Commenting on the movie, Oge confessed that her impression about her colleagues in the Yoruba sector of Nollywood changed completely after the production as “they are so professional and committed.”
The movie which is in the pre-production stage at the moment will hit the cinemas soon and the shelves later in the year.

Scientists are taking the search for life in extreme environments to the ends of Earth and beyond. On Wednesday Russian scientists announced they had reached Lake Vostok, a subglacial lake under Antarctica. As AP reported:
Russian researchers reported Wednesday that they had reached Lake Vostok, a pristine body of water untouched by light or wind for about 20 million years. They want to know what type of microbial life — bacteria too small to see — might exist there.
Finding microbes may not sound like much. But they were the first form of Earth life eons before plants and animals existed.
If scientists find these tiny germs in Lake Vostok, it bolsters already strong hope that elsewhere in our solar system, life also might exist where once it didn’t seem possible.
There are plenty of examples of life forms existing in the most improbable of places:
—A tiny shrimp was captured on a NASA video floating under thick ice sheets in a different part of Antarctica.
—Tubeworms somehow get needed energy from violent hydrothermal vents in the deepest Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
—A germ called “the world’s toughest bacterium” by the Guinness Book of World Records and also termed “Conan the Bacterium” was found 55 years ago in a can of meat. It survives and even repairs itself in radiation that would be deadly to cockroaches.
Some in the scientific community expressed concern that the drilling techniques used to reach Lake Vostok could contaminate the pristine lake. As Marc Kaufman explained:
The long effort has met with controversy over some of the chemicals and techniques used in the drilling. Many have been concerned that pristine Lake Vostok — which hasn’t felt the wind for more than 20 million years and may well be home to previously unknown life forms — could be contaminated by the kerosene, Freon and other materials used in the drilling.
John Priscu of Montana State University, an Antarctica specialist who has been in periodic contact with the Russian team, said rumors are flying that the lake was indeed pierced but that no information has been formally announced.
“If they were successful, their efforts will transform the way we do science in Antarctica and provide us with an entirely new view of what exists under the vast Antarctic ice sheet,” he said in an e-mail.
Many scientists see Vostok as not only a last frontier on Earth but also a potential gold mine for learning about possible conditions on Jupiter’s moon Europa or Saturn’s moon Encedadus. Each is covered by a thick shell of ice with liquid water below, warmed by either the inner heat of the moon or by tidal forces.
The United States and Britain will begin drilling later this year into small subglacial Antarctic lakes. Scientists estimate that there are about 200 of these lakes beneath the ice sheet.
Reports emerged as the drilling effort continued that Lake Vostok had been the site of a secret Nazi base. As Elizabeth Flock reported:
When state-run Russian news agency RIA Novosti released a report Monday that said Russian scientists had drilled into the deep, dark and previously untouched Lake Vostok, a curious detail was buried farther down in the story.
Ria Novosti reported that near the end of the World War II, the Nazis moved to the South Pole and began constructing a base at Lake Vostok. The agency quotes German Grand Admiral Karl Dontiz, who apparently said in 1943: “Germany's submarine fleet is proud that it created an unassailable fortress for the Fuehrer on the other end of the world,” in Antarctica.
Is there any truth to the Russian rumors? Or is this a case of a news agency implementing Godwin’s law — the longer a discussion goes, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis approaches.
Taken another way: Why isn’t it enough to relish in the sheer awe of reaching 2.2 miles below the surface of Antarctica to explore a hidden lake?
Discovery News scoffs at the idea of a Nazi base there, calling it “Nazi paranoia” and “World War II conspiracy theories” from Moscow. The Moscow Times dismisses the idea as just “rumors.” Most news sites, including The Post, ignored Ria Novosti’s theory.

It seems like my three boys never stop eating. They literally ask for something to eat every half hour. It drives me crazy. I finally got smart and decided to use a snack box system with a day’s worth of snacks in each one. They know not to ask after they are gone. But, they are growing boys and need good food for a successful day of homeschooling and playing.
I start our day with a very nutritious breakfast of egg and toast. Sometimes I make French toast or pancakes. We also have cereal once in a while. I have found that the protein from the eggs fills them up for a longer period of time. It also isn’t filled with sugar like most breakfast foods.
We have a lunch of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (they LOVE them and I am glad to let them have their favorite this time of day) and a piece of fruit or yogurt. They eat what I eat for dinner every night.
Snacks are important because it is a great opportunity to make wise choices about what goes into our bodies. Our snack box system works great because I get to choose some of the snacks and the boys choose some. They each have a different colored box with their names on them. After breakfast, we each pick one thing to put in the boxes.
Some of the choices I give them are:
- Protein bars (I try to buy ones that have the least amount of sugar)
- Fruit- bananas, apples, clementines, grapes
- Rice cakes with peanut butter
- Cheese crackers
- Cheese sticks or chunks
- Yogurt (usually one with protein or probiotics)
They get to choose one or two items depending on what the items are. I like to give them a piece of fruit and the boys usually choose a protein bar. I have to veer them in the direction of the yogurt or applesauce.
These kinds of snacks are what works for my family. Although some would say it doesn’t look very healthy, it is healthy for us. We enjoy these kinds of foods and my boys are healthy and strong. I know veggies are not listed as a snack option. I have tried and tried to get them to like veggies. They are resilient…and stubborn. I love veggies and eat them with just about every meal. I also “hide” the veggies in their food. So they do get a balance of foods.
Homeschooling keeps me busy all day long. My boys like to play hard outside or in their room. They need energy and so do I. Having healthier options for snacks in very important to my family. We very rarely have cookies and sweets. The only candy they get is from others (Awana, co-op, grandparents). Candy makes them silly. But, I like for them to enjoy life a little too.
Remember to do what works for your family. Help your children to make wiser choices with the foods they eat. Teach them about what each food contains and how those ingredients help your body grow and learn more.
Go to Rainbow Resource Center’s website for lots more options for eating healthy and teaching children about food.

Secretary of Commerce John Bryson was cited in a hit-and-run felony in Southern California this weekend, causing two car accidents within minutes of each other before being found unconscious by authorities, CNN reported.
On Saturday, Bryson rear-ended his Lexus into a car waiting at a railroad crossing in San Gabriel. After talking with the three passengers, some of whom were later treated for minor injuries, he drove away, hitting the same car again. After leaving the scene, he hit a second car in the neighboring city of Rosemead.
Bryson was found "alone and unconscious behind the wheel of his vehicle" when authorities arrived, CNN reported. He was treated at a local hospital for minor injuries from the crash. Alcohol screenings came up negative, CNN reported.
Bryson has served as commerce secretary since October of 2011. Obama campaign senior advisor David Axelrod said on Monday that he would not comment specifically on the incident since the news broke overnight.
“Obviously, it’s concerning,” Axelrod said on CBS's This Morning. “But I'm not going to comment because I don't know any of the details.”

Yesterday, the Guardian reported the staggering cost of fossil fuel subsidies following a report from the IMF: an estimated $5.3 trillion or 6.5% of global GDP.
This eye-watering amount is almost too huge to comprehend but the human cost of subsidies is something we hear about each day.
The cost of ‘negative externalities’
Much of the subsidy amount cited by the IMF results from the omission of ‘negative externalities’ from fossil fuel costs, such as those caused by the health impacts of pollution and the impact on the environment. The true cost of these subsidies, the IMF states, should include things like the effect of air pollution on a community, such as increased medical costs or a reduction in productivity.
Detractors might suggest that these subsidies are not ‘real’ or ‘do not count’ – but our experience show us that for many of the world’s poorest – they are very real indeed.
Smoke from a kerosene lamp, used by millions of families across Africa to light their homes, contributes to indoor air pollution that kills over 4 million each year. As one mother from Zambia told us: “I used to find soot in the noses of my children every morning when they slept in a room with kerosene, and they would complain of chest pains.” Kerosene lamps are toxic, expensive and leave families at constant risk of fire and injury. Yet, even in 2015, millions of African families have no other choice of fuel to light their home – when cheaper, safer solutions exist, such as the simple solar light.
Solar lights not only improve health; they improve educational results, and boost enterprise and productivity. Perhaps most importantly, solar lights save rural African families up to 20% of their annual income, which is usually then spent on better food, school books or fees or to develop their businesses.
The direct cost of kerosene subsies
Late last year, a UNEP report ‘Lifting the Darkness on the Price of Light’ highlighted that across the 15 countries in the Economic Community of West African States alone, $4 billion is also spent each year subsidising kerosene for lighting – an issue raised by SolarAid’s Head of Policy at the UN Sustainable Energy for All (SE4All) forum this week.
While the subsidy of kerosene has historically helped those living under the poverty line to afford fuel for lighting (and rapid removal could disproportionately impact the poorest), there is a growing concern that the subsidisation of kerosene is now too blunt an instrument and is distorting the off-grid solar market in unelectrified areas, holding back the transition to cheaper and cleaner sources of energy. As the UNEP report highlighted:
“Current levels of subsidies have a profound downward effect on the cost of light to consumers. While this may have near-term benefits for poverty alleviation, it can effectively halve the economic value of switching to technologies that would even further reduce lighting operating costs. For perspective, in a single year the level of subsidy awarded to the fuel burned by a single lamp can be on par with the price of purchasing a replacement solar lantern, which are available at costs of US$20 or less.”
In some countries the cost of subsidies are particularly pronounced. In Nigeria, for example, “kerosene subsidies alone amount to more than those for security, critical infrastructure, human capital development, and land and food security combined”.
The potential of solar solutions
Given the huge benefits brought by a switch from kerosene to solar it is an issue that deserves urgent attention, more research and more policy review. The solar lights shining in Africa this year are already saving base of the pyramid consumers an estimated £500 million and enabling billions of hours of study and productive time. In respect of health and education, the impact of a rapid switch to solar in rural areas could be extraordinary. It would also create £billions in individual savings – and could do the same for governments.
With world leaders and energy access practitioners gathered in New York for SE4All – and over a billion people living without electricity – it is time we recognised the way in which subsidies distort markets and the more than real potential that a solar future can bring.


In recent decades, the use of lace has outgrown the traditional view of these sophisticated works of art, as new visions of Idrija lace are emerging with the use of new patterns and materials. This is no longer used just for decorating formal clothes or home textiles – Idrija lace has become a fashion accessory in the form of luxury jewellery. It can also be seen engraved in glass and ceramics, as prints on clothes or as body paintings, or even as a culinary accessory.
Long-term cooperation between the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering and Idrija lacemakers has led to exceptional works of art that not only preserve the traditional aspects of Idrija lace, but also prove with its originality and freshness that lace has great potential for design and various modifications into new, more modern forms
Various innovations in the development of Idrija lace can be seen every year at the traditional Idrija Lace Festival. On one hand, the festival wants to follow the tradition embodied by Idrija lace, and on the other hand becomes a modern event with its approaches in communication and content. The latter builds on qualities integrated in the lace itself: precision, skill and ingenuity: The common thread in recent years is innovation and creativity.
This new creative direction of the development of Idrija lace began to be realised in cooperation with the Department of Textile and Clothing Design of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering (NTF) of the University of Ljubljana. In addition to the NTF and the Municipality of Idrija, the Idrija Lacemakers’ Association and the Idrija Lace School are also participating in the projects as coordinators.
Long-term cooperation between NTF and Idrija lacemakers has led to exceptional design creations that not only preserve the traditional aspects of Idrija lace, but with their originality and freshness prove that it has great potential for design and various modifications into new, more modern forms. In recent years, the creations and products of NTF students have been regularly present at the Idrija Lace Festival – either displayed in exhibitions and fashion shows or published in various publications. Idrija lace also appears as the main theme in many diploma and master’s theses.

DEERFIELD, Ill. — Drug maker Takeda Pharmaceutical has resubmitted regulatory approval applications for two drugs designed to treat diabetes, the company said.
Takeda announced the resubmission to the Food and Drug Administration of applications for alogliptin and a drug that combines alogliptin with pioglitazone, the active ingredient in the Takeda drug Actos.
The applications were submitted after the company received a complete response letter from the FDA for the drugs in April. A complete response letter means that the agency has finished reviewing an application, but questions remain that preclude final approval. Takeda's resubmissions include additional data from three phase-3 clinical trials that the FDA had requested.

The Prime Time to Prepare People for Hurricanes? Before the Storm Has Even Formed
Behavioral studies have shown that those who develop plans for storms before they’re on the horizon are far more likely to evacuate when the time comes. But according to storm preparation experts, there’s still the chance for missteps.
The Tampa Bay Times spoke with experts in storm prep, response and recovery to identify the best methods for readying for natural disasters, and where people go wrong. Some of the major lessons:
Planning ahead – Chris Emrich, a founding member of the National Center for Integrated Coastal Research at the University of Central Florida, has run evacuation behavioral studies and found that people who already have plans in place before any storms are forecast are more likely to evacuate when orders are called. Too many people only begin to react when the storm is upon them, and stressful times lead to mistakes.
Leaving the flood zones – Misconceptions about evacuation can affect response during storms. Leaving the flood zone and evacuation areas is important, but many leave the area altogether – and end up in a different coastal city that could be just as dangerous.
Community and communication – Connecting with county emergency management services during calm times can boost resources, reach out to vulnerable populations when a storm comes, and ensure information is coming from a trusted source.


Daughn Gibson has released one of the first great albums I have heard this year and it doesn’t make much sense. His previous group, Pearls and Brass, was all about stoner metal wallop but his solo debut, All Hell, is a much more controlled affair Gibson’s music is sample heavy but he’s not ripping 70’s funk riffs but recycling dusty country tracks. It doesn’t make sense until you hear it. So……hear it. “Tiffany Lou” is one of the many standout tracks off of the album.

The month of June brings an important remembrance, that of Juneteenth. Freedom Day. It is the day when African American Texans learned that they were free on June 18, 1865.
Republicans are rightfully noting the special day. It was Texas Democrats that resisted the Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Lincoln earlier, on September 22, 1862.
U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) issued the following statement in honor of Juneteenth. Sen. Cornyn is sponsoring a Senate resolution that recognizes the historic significance of Juneteenth Independence Day, and the announcement of the abolition of slavery in the State of Texas in 1865.
“I join with all Texans in celebrating Juneteenth, an observance that began in our state, to commemorate the emancipation of all slaves in the United States.
“As we mark this historic day, let us pay tribute to all the men and women who have fought and sacrificed to defend our values and ensure our freedom.”
And, I saved the best one for last. This is Louisiana's newest converted Republican State Senator Elbert Guillory:

South African agri-tech startup Khula! has completed an intensive three-year pilot phase. The Khula! team worked with farmers of all scales across Mzansi and are set to grow their digital trading space even further.
Khula! has built a digital ecosystem of three platforms, all aimed at making the agricultural value chain more efficient:
- The Khula! Inputs App allows farmers to access approved agricultural inputs and services from leading suppliers (both local and international).
- The Khula! Fresh Produce Marketplace (which is in the final stages of its pilot) allows farmers to sell produce directly to formal market bulk buyers (local and international).
- The Khula! Funder Dashboard connects institutional investors with farmers who meet their funding mandates.
The agri-tech startup believes in a long-term ecosystem approach to solving problems in agriculture. It has seen great success during its pilot. Thus far, more than 3,000 farmers have signed up.
Even in its pilot period it also racked up a number of accolades, including the MTN Business App of the Year for 2018-19. It was listed under the Top 10 Social Enterprises in the Chivas Regal Global Venture Competition and was also recognised by Africarena as the top tech startup in Johannesburg.
Founders and investors
Khula! was self-funded by its founders Karidas Tshintsholo, Matthew Piper and Jackson Dyora for most of the pilot phase.
Tshintsholo, co-founder and CEO, says they have found the perfect investor since, and are now set to grow their platforms. “AECI is exactly the kind of investor we were looking for at this early stage. We did not want an investor at the table who was only going to ask us how we’d performed in a specific quarter. We wanted a long-term partner who would execute with us.
“[We wanted] a partner with a great reputation in the industry and with an incredible distribution network; a partner whose long-term success was tied to a business model like ours. And AECI fits that description perfectly for us.”
Tshintsholo says that AECI’s footprint in Africa and in other parts of the world puts their agri-tech company in a good position to scale their business. It also opens up the possibility of global partnerships. “We already have significant interest across the SADC region for a solution like ours.”
According to Quintin Cross, managing director of AECI Plant Health, the marketplace is changing. Khula! has been identified as a strategic partner in the development of a digital trading space for emerging farmers, both for the sale of produce and the purchase of inputs.
“Khula! has very attractive fundamentals, a sizeable addressable market, App development capabilities, key agri-business networks and a management team that wishes to work with AECI as their preferred agri-input and technical advisory partner.”

Dayton plans Am. Indian business 'summit'
- Dirk DeYoung
Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton won the applause of a group of American Indian business leaders Tuesday afternoon by saying four things they wanted to hear:
1. Dayton pledged to hold an business “summit” with the business leaders, himself and Mark Phillips, commissioner of the Department of Employment and Economic Development, after the current legislative session is over.
2. He refused to endorse proposals to expand gaming in Minnesota to help fill the state's depleted coffers, though he also didn’t ensure that such an expansion wouldn’t happen.
3. He said he would oppose an attempt by some legislators to shift funding for certain nonprofit worker-training and job-placement centers to block grants, requiring those Opportunities Industrialization Centers (OICs) to compete for the funds.
4. And he declared May American Indian Month in Minnesota.
Dayton, in the midst of a whirlwind day that included speaking out about funding a new stadium for the Minnesota Vikings and attending another lunch-time event, spoke briefly at a Minnesota American Indian Chamber of Commerce luncheon at the University Club in St. Paul.
In those remarks, he stressed the importance of adding more jobs to the state and improving training so that unemployed workers have the skills that employers are seeking today. “We’ve got a real challenge ahead of us,” he said.
As for item No. 1, Dayton said he and Phillips held such a meeting with black business leaders recently in North Minneapolis, and he’ll be looking for guidance at a similar meeting with American Indian leaders on how to grow their businesses and employment in the state. They’ll also talk about recent reports that businesses run by American Indians are losing out on their share of state contracts. “It’s more the fault of the state than you,” he said.
As for No. 2, the expansion of gaming outside of American Indian tribal casinos is “not part of my proposal,” Dayton said in response to a question from the audience. “I would prefer it not be part of the Legislature’s [budget], but they don’t seem particularly interested in what I have to say.”
As for the OICs, Dayton said he hadn’t heard of the attempts to change their funding structure, adding “I’ll do my very best to oppose that.”
Officials from the American Indian OIC in Minneapolis, which offers various worker-training programs, job placement and other education programs, attended the luncheon.
And finally, Dayton declared the special month in part to celebrate the chamber’s 25th anniversary this year.
The event was tinged with the glow of a rebound.
The chamber evidently hit tough times during the recession, having to move its offices into temporary shared space in St. Paul. However, the organization has recovered financially and recently moved its office back to East Franklin Avenue in Minneapolis, the center of the American Indian business community in the Twin Cities.

|Congratulations Class 2011|
During my times, kindergarten means one to two years of preschool education at PAP foundation. Life is simple and straight-forward. Most of us are born at Kandang Kerbau Hospital (more commonly known as KK hospital), fed with S26 infant milk powder and attended PAP kindergarten. I still remember my sky-blue uniform with a little mock red tie. The proudest moment of my kindergarten must be when I graduated at the top of my cohort. Oops... sorry mum, I was never first thereafter and so lucky not to be at the bottom last ^_^ Anyway, I survived my years of school education, never failed any examinations (so-called "no red marks" in my report book) and my mum did not have to meet my teachers or the Principal (last time, there was no "parent-teacher conference", meet teacher means you have done something wrong in school!).
Now, my little gal has graduated from her preschool. Compared to my time, hers would be considered a premium kindergarten. Teachers are all well-trained, good facilities, all-rounded education with enrichment activities like phonics, han-yu-pin-yin, drama, music, ballet classes etc. As expected, my little gal loves her school and looks forward to school everyday. Hopefully, she will be equally enthusiastic and motivated when she starts her primary school next year.
|Making of owl cupcakes and graduation cake|
For her preschool farewell party, I prepared an owl graduation cake with little owl cupcakes for her teachers and friends. I tried these little owl cupcakes previously over here. This time, I used walnut butter cake as the cake base, covered the top with fondant and decorated with Oreo cookies, royal icing and M&M.
While there are extra steps for making this walnut butter cake, it gives very soft and fragrant cake. I will certainly bake this again, as a whole cake, for the coming Chinese New Year.
Recipe for Walnut Butter Cake(makes 10" square cake)
8 egg yolks
100g demarara sugar*
50g molasses sugar*
* or replaced with 100g fine sugar
200g demarara sugar (or use 150g fine sugar)
170g Nestle cream (I used 100g evaporated milk)
2 tsp rum flavour (or use vanilla or coffee flavour)
400g plain flour, sifted
1 tsp baking powder
200g walnut, toasted at 160C for 10 minutes & chopped
200g chocolate chips
8 egg whites
100g fine sugar
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1) Whisk ingredients (A) for about 3 minutes till creamy with flowy consistency. Set aside.
2) Cream butter and sugar at (B) till pale and fluffy (butter and sugar must be well-creamed at this stage, takes about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on mixer).
3) Add in the egg yolk mixture from step 1, Nestle cream and rum flavour. Cream for another 2 to 3 minutes to combine.
4) Add in the remaining ingredients at (B) and mix well to combine. Set aside.
5) Whisk ingredients (C) till stiff. Fold meringue into butter mixture from step 4 in a few batches till well-combined. Pour batter into greased and lined baking pan.
6) Bake in preheated oven at 160C for about 50 to 55 minutes. Test with skewer (reduced time for cupcakes, about 35 to 40 minutes).

|A triple-chocolate graduation cake|
The main cake is a 10" triple-chocolate cake: Chocolate-layered sponge, sandwiched with Nutella butter cream, frosted with plain butter cream and surrounded with Kit-Kat chocolate bars. The owl and congrats message are made from marshmallow fondant.
Congrats again to all my little friends. Wishing each of you a smooth transition to Primary One and an enriching school life ahead!


The wait is over: Ilya Kovalchuk has a new home.
After his contract with the Los Angeles Kings was terminated Dec. 16, many wondered whether and when Kovalchuk would sign with another club. The speculation has officially ended as the 36-year-old winger agreed Friday to a one-year, two-way contract with the Montreal Canadiens.
WINTER CLASSIC: What it meant to the NHL, Dallas and the Southern hockey fan
The Canadiens have agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract with free agent forward Ilya Kovalchuk. The deal will pay Kovalchuk $700,000 at the NHL level and $70,000 in the AHL.#GoHabsGo https://t.co/VdpyijRjNh— Canadiens Montréal (@CanadiensMTL) January 3, 2020
The deal pays the Russian forward $700,000 at the NHL level and $70,000 in the AHL to finish off the 2019-20 season.
Drafted first overall in the 2001 draft by the Atlanta Thrashers, Kovalchuk will now play for his fourth franchise, after only 91 games with the Kings. In his eighth season with the Thrashers, he was traded to New Jersey, where he played three additional seasons. Before heading to Los Angeles in 2018, he played four seasons in the KHL with St. Petersburg SKA after announcing retirement from the NHL on July 11, 2013.
In 897 games at the NHL level, Kovalchuk has 436 goals and 859 points.

Cook Your Thanksgiving Turkey to Perfection with ChefSteps's Foolproof Sous Vide Recipe
Thanksgiving is here, and with a little help from Chef & Sous vide enthusiast Tyler Florence, you’re about to enjoy the best meal of your life. Follow Florence's steps below for a delicious and in-law-approved Thanksgiving dinner.
Overnight Sous Vide Turkey
Cook for 24 hours at 55 °C / 131 °F
For the Dry-Cure:
- Salt, 5 Tablespoons (57.5g)
- Sugar, 2 Tablespoons (30g)
For the Turkey:
- Turkey Breasts (Skin-on), 2 (875g)
- Canola oil, 2–2.5 Tablespoons (15g)
- Olive oil, 2–2.5 Tablespoons (15g)
For the Vegetables:
- Olive Oil, 4-5 Tablespoons (30g)
- Sage, 10 Leaves (8g), plus more for garnish
- Carrots, 2 medium (132g), sliced
- Celery, ½ of a head (170g), plus more for garnish, sliced
- Shallots, 2 (110g), sliced
- Garlic cloves, 4 (24g), sliced
- Black pepper, ⅛ Teaspoon (.8g)
For the Garnish:
- Celery, ½ Cup (48g), sliced
- Fresh sage leaves, 2 (.7g)
- Lemon, about ½ (7g), juiced
- ChefSteps Joule Sous Vide ($199; amazon.com)
- 1 gallon-sized, ziplock-style freezer bag
- Oven-safe casserole dish
Set Joule or other Sous Vide Tool to 55 °C/ 131 °F
To make the cure, combine salt and sugar in a bowl and stir or whisk to incorporate. Place turkey breasts on a plate and sprinkle cure all over them in an even layer. (For a more exacting approach, use 1% cure to the total weight of your turkey breasts.)
Heat a pan on high, and add about 2.5 tablespoons each of canola and olive oil (30g total). When the pan is hot, add turkey breasts, skin-side facing down. When the skin is lightly browned, remove from the pan and set aside. (We will be browning the skin again before serving, so don’t worry if they look light in color.) Remove oil from the pan and wipe the pan with a paper towel.
Add 30 g (or 4-5 tablespoons) of olive oil to the pan and heat to medium-high. Add sage, carrots, celery, shallots, and garlic and sweat the vegetables until lightly caramelized and tender. (Note: you may need to adjust heat as you go.) Transfer veggies to a plate or bowl.
Transfer turkey breasts to a ziplock-style freezer bag, arranging them in a single layer so that they don’t overlap, which can cause uneven cooking. Add the cooked vegetables to the bag. Lower bag into the water with Joule/ Sous Vide tool. Cook 24 hours. (You can make all the other delicious dishes while your turkey cooks!)
Once the turkey breasts have cooked, set your oven to the broiler setting, or 260 °C/ 500 °F. Transfer vegetables to an oven-safe, shallow casserole dish and arrange in a single layer. Top with turkey breasts, skin-side up. Broil for 5 minutes, or until the skin is golden-brown and crispy, and the vegetables become more caramelized and tender. Garnish with fresh sliced celery, chopped sage, and lemon juice.
Sous Vide Sweet Potato Mash
Cook for 1 hour at 90 °C / 194 °F
For the Sweet Potato Mash:
- Butter, ½ cup (95g)
- Garlic, 3 whole cloves (12g), peeled
- Sweet potatoes, about 1.5 (825g), sliced into ¼ inch half-moon shapes
- Ground cinnamon, heaping ¼ teaspoon (1g)
- Thyme leaves, 6 Sprigs (1g)
- Salt, 3 teaspoons (8g)
For the Garnish:
- Pecans, ½ Cup, chopped
- Olive oil, 2.5g
- Kosher Salt (.2g)
- Honey, 1 Tablespoon (15g)
- Scallions, ½ cup (16g), sliced
- Cracked Pepper, a pinch (.5g)
- Sea Salt, 2 teaspoons (2g)
Heat Joule to 90 °C / 194 °F.
Combine garlic and butter in a saucepan and heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring frequently, until the butter has browned and the garlic is golden.
Combine garlic, butter, sweet potato slices, cinnamon, thyme, and salt in a vacuum sealer bag. Seal. Add sealed bag to the water with Joule/ Sous Vide tool and cook for 1 hour.
While the sweet potatoes cook, toast pecans for garnish. Add 2.5g olive oil to a pan with chopped pecans and .2g kosher salt. Heat over medium-high until toasted. Remove from pan and set aside.
When sweet potatoes have cooked, transfer ingredients to a bowl and mash with a potato masher for a rustic texture. (You can use an immersion blender to create a more silky mash.)
Just before serving, garnish with toasted pecans, honey, sliced scallions, sea salt, and pepper.
Thanksgiving Sauce (way better than gravy, plus it’s gluten-free!)
Cook for 1 hour at 90 °C / 194 °F
Diced Carrots, celery, onion, butternut squash, Yukon Gold Potato and sage cooked with chicken stock in a quart size jar at 90C/194F for 1 hour. Puree smooth in a blender and season with salt, pepper and lemon juice
For the sauce:
- Butternut Squash, (180g) small-diced
- Sage, about 4 picked leaves (3.5g)
- Celery, 1–2 stalks (54g), small-diced
- Carrots, 1 medium (47g), small-diced
- Onion, ½ small (48g), small-diced
- Butter, about 3 Tablespoons (45g), diced into cubes
- Chicken Stock 1⅓ cups (320g)
- Yukon Gold Potato, 1 whole (180g)
- Salt 1½ Teaspoons,(8g)
- Black Pepper, a pinch (.6g)
- Lemon Juice, ¾ Tablespoon, (12g)
- Quart-sized mason jar
- Joule or other sous vide tool
- High-power blender
Heat Joule to 90 °C / 194 °F, making sure you water level is high enough that a quart-sized jar will be completely covered once added to the pot.
Prep all ingredients and add to the jar, pushing them down as you go to get everything packed in tight. Secure “fingertip-tight” with a fitted canning lid. Add jar to the water with Joule/Sous Vide tool and cook one hour. Once it has cooked, add mixture to the pitcher of a high-power blender and blend until smooth. Return to the jar and keep sauce heated with Joule/Sous Vide tool until you serve it or transfer directly to a gravy boat and start the feast.

I love the opportunity to read, and read, and read during the day. It doesn't happen very often, but today's snow day was perfect for it. After slapping the alarm and checking my messages, I rolled over for a very welcome couple more hours of sleep. It would have been nice to know last night that we would have no school, but I was grateful for the late notice this morning!
Waking, refreshed, I grabbed my favorite weekend mug (since I drink my coffee "to go" during the week) and snuggled down in front of the fire with a brand new book from my library bag. Knowing that the teenager wouldn't wake for hours gave me the freedom to forsake my mom duties (breakfast, dishes, laundry) and escape into the world of a young woman in Macau.
I struggle with feeling guilty for spending that much time engrossed in a book; but then I get over it and just enjoy.

text: The Wild West had nothing on Montana's first baseball games. Fights, booze, cheating and gambling fueled the state's inaugural professional league in 1892. The turn of the century brought star-studded barnstorming tours and threats of bloodshed. Big Sky Country embraced a distinctly different version of the old ballgame, and Montana players who made their way to big league diamonds helped change the sport on and off the field. From the Lewis and Clark expedition to Dave McNally's historic career, award-winning journalist Skylar Browning and researcher Jeremy Watterson reveal Montana's relationship with America's pastime.

Sun City residents show appreciation for health care workers
Sun City residents saluted health care workers for their service during the coronavirus pandemic by delivering two hand-crafted signs to the front of Hilton Head Regional Healthcare’s Tidewatch Emergency Department on Thursday.
Sun City resident John Meeker, who lives close to the emergency department along Tidewatch Drive, organized the event as a golf cart parade that started in Sun City.
About 30 golf carts drove past the entrance waving to health care workers before dropping off the signs in front of the building.
Both signs display white ribbons and each ribbon represents a home in the Village Green community of Sun City.

Healthy Crunchy Honey Granola
- Preparation and cooking time
- Depending on how brown or crunchy you like it, you can mix again for the second time and leave in for an extra 5 mins for that extra crunch
- Serves 6
A simple recipe for healthy crunchy granola prepared quickly and effortlessly, add to fruits and yoghurt, or as a healthy alternative when you have a sweet tooth.
- 1 cup of rolled oats
- 1/2 cup of honey
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence powder
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon (optional)
- STEP 1Mix all ingredients together well and heat oven to 150 degrees Celsius (medium heat)
- STEP 2Use a baking tray and baking sheet (i prefer that so the honey doesn't stick or burn quickly on the tray) . Simply spread out on the tray evenly so its not in a big clump, don't be too fussy about this step the heat evens it out as the honey melts . bake for 10 minutes
- STEP 3Take the baking tray out of the oven and stir up the granola you will find some are browner that other parts, thats ok as the parts on the sheet have browned a little, just mix well and make sure all is evenly spread out and that there are no big clumps together and bake for another 10 minutes
- STEP 4Take out of oven and leave to cool , the longer you leave it the more crunchy it gets as honey hardens on the granola. When cooled, simply use your hands to break it up into desired size


HURON, S.D. – During the State FFA Convention held in Brookings, FFA Chapters from Canton, Gettysburg, Kimball and Lennox qualified for the South Dakota Farmers Union Farm Safety Quiz Bowl Championships held during Farmers Union Day at the South Dakota State Fair, September 3.
“Farming is among the most dangerous careers on the planet, so it is important that youth understand how to be safe on the farm or ranch,” explained Brady Duxbury, FFA Advisor for the Lennox Sundstrom FFA Chapter. “Honestly, in rural South Dakota we all know someone who has been hurt on a farm or ranch.”
Myra Whitehead agrees. A senior at Lennox High School, she says a neighbor was temporarily paralyzed and has been left with life-long challenges as a result of a four-wheeler accident.
“Farm safety is crucially important because we live in South Dakota where there is so much farming and ranching and there’s always farm-related accidents,” Whitehead said. “So, it is important to understand how to be safe – be aware of your surroundings, especially if there are animals around.”
Whitehead was a member of the Lennox Sundstrom FFA Chapter team that placed during State FFA Convention. Other team members from her FFA Chapter include Autum Wittstruck, Nate Collette and Maya Forse. Other Chapters and team members to qualify include Kimball FFA Chapter: Jayden Kolt, Gavin Walsh, Colton Michalek, Luke Leheska and FFA Advisor, Tracey Welsh; Canton FFA Chapter: Jackie Kreber, Jardan VanDeStreet, John Halverson, Kaeden Bitterman and FFA Advisor, Jennifer Cleveland; Gettysburg FFA Chapter: Alex Tanner, Owen Raush, Garrett Zeigler, Tanner Eide and FFA Advisor Mercedes Lemke.
Whitehead said she appreciated the competitive nature of the Quiz Bowl. “It was a fun experience and a good opportunity to learn more about farm safety and test my knowledge.”
Encouraging youth to think about farm safety is the reason behind South Dakota Farmers Union hosting this Farm Safety Quiz Bowl each year during the State FFA Convention and during the South Dakota State Fair said SDFU President, Doug Sombke.
“If you make it fun and competitive, hopefully kids will take the time to engage with farm safety. Too many of us know friends or family members who have been injured on the farm or ranch,” Sombke said. “Farm Safety education is one way Farmers Union can support our farm and ranch families and hopefully keep them safe.”
Whitehead said she enjoyed the competition and was able to help her teammates qualify because she learned a lot about Farm Safety from her dad, grandpa and Duxbury. This is good news to the FFA Advisor/Agriculture Education instructor.
“I require all students become OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) certified because the reality is, whether we live on a farm or have friends who do, everyone in a rural state like ours should understand how to keep themselves and others safe on the farm or ranch,” Duxbury said. “I appreciate Farmers Union for supporting the effort to teach our youth about farm safety.”
To learn more about SDFU youth educational programming and how the grassroots organization supports farm and ranch families, visit www.sdfu.org.

JERUSALEM (JTA) — Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was questioned in connection with a massive real estate scandal.
Police from the National Unit for Aggravated and International Crime in Lod questioned Olmert for about eight hours on Tuesday as part of the investigation into the Holyland project, which is being described as one of the worst corruption scandals in Israeli history.
Olmert was identified last month by police as the chief suspect in the Holyland scandal, and he voluntarily cut short a planned visit abroad in order to be available for questioning, which did not occur until Tuesday.
He is suspected of accepting nearly hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes during the construction of the Holyland apartment project in Jerusalem, built on the site of the former Holyland Hotel, when he served as Jerusalem mayor. Olmert is currently on trial in other corruption scandals.
At least five other officials have been arrested in connection with the case. They include former Jerusalem Mayor Uri Lupolianski, who followed Olmert in the office, and Uri Messer, a former aide to Olmert when he served as Jerusalem mayor.
The officials are accused of paying or accepting bribes in order to rezone the land from commercial for the originally planned hotels to residential for the luxury apartments that were built, as well as receiving or giving other benefits, such as tax breaks, for the project.
Police believe that Olmert received his money through Messer and his former bureau chief Shula Zaken, who also is on trial in another corruption scandal involving Olmert.
The Holyland project started while Olmert served as mayor of Jerusalem from 1993 to 2003, and continued with his successor, Lupolianski, who served until 2008.

Raf De Bont, "Nature's Diplomats: Science, Internationalism, and Preservation, 1920-1960 "
English | ISBN: 0822946610 | 2021 | 384 pages | PDF | 60 MB
Nature's Diplomats explores the development of science-based and internationally conceived nature protection in its foundational years before the 1960s, the decade when it launched from obscurity onto the global stage. Raf De Bont studies a movement while it was still in the making and its groups were still rather small, revealing the geographies of the early international preservationist groups, their social composition, self-perception, ethos, and predilections, their ideals and strategies, and the natures they sought to preserve.
By examining international efforts to protect migratory birds, the threatened European bison, and the mountain gorilla in the interior of the Belgian Congo,

Powering public transportation with solar energy
New solution combines solar panels and overhead charging for transit fleets
- Transit fleets with battery-electric buses seek to integrate both solar energy generation and overhead charging
- Traditionally, solar canopies and charging required building multiple structures, leading to high project costs and sacrificing valuable lot space
- New solar canopy solution solves for uneven roof surfaces and space constraints, leveraging solar and reducing energy costs
As transit fleets electrify, many are exploring ways of integrating solar to further reduce emissions and benefit from potential cost savings. The primary challenge to this is the cost of installation. Most transit fleets use overhead charging to save on valuable lot space. Traditionally, adding solar photovoltaic arrays requires building an additional, separate structure, taking up more lot space.
To solve for this and reduce installation costs, we’ve designed and developed the necessary hardware to enable an integrated solution, allowing for overhead charging and solar on one canopy. That innovation is our patent-pending “pantograph in-depot equipment” or PIDE. With our PIDE solution, transit fleets can leverage solar energy and minimize physical footprint, while improving their charging efficiency and power resiliency.
The task at hand
Solar panels typically need to be installed on a tilt to maximize capture of sunlight. Overhead charging on the other hand, needs to be on a flat mount to reach the electric buses. Until PIDE, there wasn’t a solution that enabled solar panels and overhead charging on one structure.
Fleets were left with two options:
- Choose overhead charging, most likely resulting in 100% grid power that is more carbon-intensive, often more expensive, and loses the resiliency of on-site solar generation, or
- Choose solar canopies, forcing the fleet to install in-ground charging, taking more lot space and is often lower-powered charging.
Neither option sets the fleet up for success, with fleets either sacrificing the resiliency of solar or the convenience of overhead charging.
Building a better solution
PIDE allows use of solar canopies that will produce renewable energy and double as a mounting structure to enable hands-free overhead charging on a combined unit. PIDE is a small armature, connecting the overhead charger underneath the solar canopy, solving for the issue of uneven mounts.
PIDE also addresses another common barrier to wide-scale adoption of integrated solar and EV charging–uneven surfaces in the fleet lot. The PIDE canopy mount is specifically designed for attachment to a tilted solar canopy, enabling EV charging deployments with uneven surfaces.
Cutting installation and electricity costs
Pairing solar panels with overhead charging dramatically reduces installation costs for fleets. They can avoid building two separate systems, reducing the material and labor needed for installation. By adding solar power, fleet operators aren’t constrained to grid energy and fluctuating electricity costs. They can take advantage of times when solar power is most abundant, charging during that time or storing with on-site batteries to charge later. This is made much easier with our charge management software, Omega, as it manages and automates your fleet charging sessions.
See it in action with CapMetro
Our customer Capital Metropolitan Authority (CapMetro), Austin’s regional public transportation provider, is leveraging our PIDE solution. CapMetro will install 7,000 solar panels along with overhead charging to support its fleet of 200 electric buses. In all, the canopy system will span 12 acres, or roughly nine football fields. Learn more about how we’re deploying PIDE for the first time with CapMetro.
Innovating to solve barriers to electrification
Transit fleets have a unique set of needs and challenges when transitioning to electric. PIDE is built with that in mind. Similar to PIDE, our product and solution suite has been developed to overcome all of the significant obstacles to fleet electrification. Inrush, our mobile and non-permanent charging, was another innovative solution designed to solve for barriers that some of our customers were encountering. We want to make electrification easier so fleets can focus on what matters most–providing reliable and safe transportation for riders.

If you find it difficult to decide which part of your body you want to decorate with a tattoo, then we suggest picking a leg tattoo. You will ask why? It is very simple. Because there are many ideas for this part of body.
The point is that leg tattoos are divided into several parts according to their location. You can pick an upper leg, ankle, foot tattoos or a leg sleeve design. You can apply both vivid and black tattoos in all the mentioned areas. They can be of various dimensions.
Leg Sleeve Tattoo
If you desire voluminous drawings that cover a great part of your body and tell a whole story, then you can choose your leg to place the symbolic image. This part of body easily adapts to any design. However, we should note that, unlike the upper part of the leg the knee is very painful. It takes a lot of perseverance and tremendous will power from you to get a tattoo in this area.
Back of the Leg
The back of the leg is another attractive place to apply a tattoo. You can choose the thigh area, or a little lower, the back of the knee. Getting an ink on the thigh is not very painful, because of the fat and muscle in that place. And, the opposite, the back of the knee is very painful. You can avoid getting a drawing in that area or, on the contrary, you can face the pain and decorate the back of your knee with an image. That way you will demonstrate your power and ability to overcome difficulties.
Decorating women’s legs with a bloom tattoo is an ideal decision. You can pick a sketch with only leaves or a combination of different blooms. As well as you can just choose one flower, the denotation of which is most significant to you.

As a glimmer of hope emerges whereas the US enters the summer season with a number of the lowest COVID-19 case charges in months, the nation might move 600,000 deaths as early as this weekend.
The Facilities for Illness Management and Prevention mentioned final week that the case numbers and deaths have dropped to their lowest ranges in nearly a yr. However consultants are warning unvaccinated people and vaccinated alike to not let their guard down but.
High illness knowledgeable Dr. Anthony Fauci warned of the alpha variant, first recognized within the UK, and the delta variant are spreading quickly by way of the nation.
“We don’t wish to let occur in the US what is going on presently within the UK, the place you’ve gotten a hard variant basically taking up because the dominant variant, which has made it a really troublesome scenario within the UK,” he informed CNN.
The delta variant now accounts for about 6% of US infections, Fauci mentioned. However knowledge reveals that the Pfizer vaccine is efficient partially in opposition to the variant.
In the meantime, President Joe Biden on Thursday outlined plans for the U.S. to assist “supercharge the worldwide combat in opposition to this pandemic.”
Central to that marketing campaign is the U.S. dedication to buy 500 million doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine and donate them to 92 low- and middle-income nations, which Biden confirmed on the G-7 summit in England. The G-7 nations on Friday are set to decide to sharing not less than 1 billion doses total.
“It is a monumental dedication by the American folks,” Biden mentioned. “This isn’t the tip of our efforts to combat COVID-19 and vaccinate the world.”
Additionally within the information:
►Two passengers who shared a room onboard Movie star Cruises’ Movie star Millennium ship, which was carrying solely totally vaccinated passengers and crew, have examined optimistic for COVID-19.
►Chinese language regulators introduced Friday a second COVID-19 vaccine had been accredited to be used for youngsters aged 3 to 17. China has a tentative purpose of vaccinating 80% of its inhabitants by the tip of the yr, which can imply kids are subsequent in line.
►The Meals and Drug Administration on Thursday prolonged the expiration date on tons of of hundreds of doses of Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine by six weeks, giving states with massive unused allotments extra time to manage them. The shelf lifetime of the J&J vaccines was stretched from three months to four-and-a-half months after checks on their stability. Many doses would have reached their expiration date on June 24.
►Solely seven African nations are anticipated to satisfy the World Well being Group’s purpose to vaccinate 10% of its folks by September, the group mentioned Thursday.
►Most hospitals in Washington, D.C., would require workers to obtain the COVID-19 vaccination, becoming a member of a rising variety of well being care methods and different companies nationwide in choosing the controversial mandate.
►Moderna introduced Thursday that it has requested an emergency use authorization from the Meals and Drug Administration for its COVID-19 vaccine for youths ages 12-17.
📈 In the present day’s numbers: The U.S. has greater than 33.4 million confirmed coronavirus instances and not less than 598,700 deaths, in accordance to Johns Hopkins College knowledge. The worldwide totals: Over 174.7 million instances and over 3.76 million deaths. Greater than 141.5 million People have been totally vaccinated – 42.6% of the inhabitants, based on the CDC.
📘 What we’re studying: President Joe Biden has set a brand new vaccine purpose for America: 70% of adults receiving not less than one COVID-19 shot by the Fourth of July. If pictures proceed at their present tempo, the U.S. will fall wanting that benchmark. Learn the total story.
With the purpose of getting pictures within the arms of 70% of U.S. adults by July 4, Vice President Kamala Harris is touring to Greenville, S.C., on Monday to kick off a nationwide vaccination tour by prime administration officers.
Harris will finish the week with a cease in Atlanta on June 18th, based on an administration official who supplied the main points first to USA TODAY.
First Girl Jill Biden, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and members of the cupboard are additionally hitting the street, making stops in North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama and Louisiana all through the week.
Officers might be dropping in on pop-up clinics, visiting church buildings and school campuses and fascinating with traditionally underserved communities to encourage folks to get vaccinated.
– Maureen Groppe
Mass vaccination may decrease the probability of transmission of coronavirus to the non-vaccinated, thus having the potential to curb the pandemic. That’s based on a brand new research from Israel printed in Nature Medication Thursday.
The researchers analyzed vaccination data and virus take a look at outcomes between December 6, 2020, and March 9, 2021, and located that vaccination charges had been correlated with a decline in infections.
“Amongst vaccinated people contaminated with SARS-CoV-2, a decrease viral load was noticed. Diminished an infection and viral load recommend that decreased transmission occurred,” the research mentioned.
However masking and social distancing was nonetheless vital, the research urged, as “vaccination might, in precept, additionally improve transmission because of behavioral results.”
The charges of coronary heart irritation seem larger in younger individuals who have been vaccinated in opposition to COVID-19 than in those that haven’t, although the aspect impact is extraordinarily uncommon, the Facilities for Illness Management and Prevention mentioned Thursday.
In up to date knowledge, the CDC confirmed that teenagers and younger adults who’ve obtained a second dose of the Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines are at barely larger threat than others of their age group for myocarditis, swelling of the guts muscle, or pericarditis, irritation of the outer lining of the guts. The elevated threat, which typically happens inside every week of the second shot, is so small that it’s not solely clear whether or not the vaccine is inflicting it.
However the noticed instances exceed the anticipated instances amongst folks ages 16-24, Dr. Tom Shimabukuro, of the CDC’s vaccine activity drive, informed a federal advisory committee Thursday. As with these circumstances typically, males had been extra in danger than females. Of these whose standing was identified, the overwhelming majority made a full restoration, Shimabukuro mentioned, with greater than 90% of those that had been hospitalized despatched instantly dwelling after therapy quite than requiring rehabilitation.
Shimabukuro mentioned he expects to offer extra info on the potential connection at a CDC advisory committee assembly scheduled for June 18.

|^^ Look!! It's a Ferris brick!! A HOUSTON Ferris brick! I had no idea they even existed!|
With full bellies, we headed towards Hope Street and the Moody Gardens pyramids. I had been to this indoor rainforest once before, back in 8th grade, and thought it would be a great idea for an afternoon adventure. RDB wasn't so sure: rainforest? Hot, humid, tropical environment? It wasn't until I told him they'd designed the pyramid with air-conditioning that blows directly onto the walking paths that he agreed to go. Can't say I blame him!
We had a rather large group this campout: M&D and D's mom, JS&D and their daughter, D&J, the Happy Camper, The Photog and K, their daughter and niece, and a new (younger!) tent couple: Submarina and Isle. There were several other new additions to the group, as well, but I didn't get a chance to get around and meet them all.
The pot-luck, as always, was wonderful. It never ceases to amaze me how we can all come together with different tastes and dishes, and no one ever leaves hungry!
I absolutely love this one:
The wind shifted as the sun set Saturday night. We went to bed with it whipping around at anything that wasn't tied down, and then sometime after midnight the sky fell out. RDB and I both woke at various points to the crash and bang of thunder and lightening, and the constant drumming of rain on the roof. Before we went to bed, a last minute tent camper had shown up in the spot beside us; by the next morning, they were gone.
Perhaps you can see why:

Drugs Home > What Is Muromonab-CD3 Used For?
If your body is trying to reject your new heart, kidney, or liver transplant, your healthcare provider may prescribe muromonab-CD3 to keep this from occurring. Muromonab-CD3 is approved for use in adults and children as young as one month old. There are also some unapproved uses for the drug, such as treating a lung or pancreas transplant rejection. This drug works by suppressing the immune system.
An Overview of Uses for Muromonab-CD3Muromonab-CD3 (Orthoclone OKT®3) is a prescription medication approved to treat people who are experiencing a kidney transplant rejection. It is also approved for the treatment of heart and liver transplant rejection after corticosteroids (steroids) have failed.
An organ transplant is a surgical procedure in which a healthy organ is transferred from an organ donor into a person who has a failing organ (the organ recipient). The transferred organ takes over the function of the failed organ, which is usually removed from the body. Not all organs can be transplanted. The most commonly transplanted organs include the:
- Small intestine.
After an organ transplant, the immune system recognizes that the transplanted organ is not a normal part of the body. Because it is the immune system's job to protect the body from foreign invaders, the immune system will attack the transplanted organ and try to get rid of it. This is known as transplant rejection. It is important to try to prevent transplant rejection, as it can cause a new organ to fail.
Much care is taken before a transplant to "match" an organ donor to an organ recipient. Matching involves testing certain factors, such as blood type and tissue type, to ensure the donated organ is compatible with the recipient. This helps reduce the risk of transplant rejection.
However, matching is not perfect, and it does not completely prevent transplant rejection from occurring. Therefore, people who receive donated organs normally need to take anti-rejection medicines for the rest of their lives. Unfortunately, transplant rejection may still occur even when anti-rejection medicines are taken.
Muromonab-CD3 is used to treat transplant rejection in people who have received a heart, liver, or kidney transplant. Specifically, it is used to treat acute rejection. Acute rejection is rejection that occurs early after the transplantation surgery, usually within the first six months.
When acute rejection occurs, the transplanted organ begins to fail. This can lead to symptoms such as:
- Decreased urine production in people who have had a kidney transplant
- Shortness of breath in people who have had a heart transplant
- Yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes (jaundice) in people who have had a liver transplant.
Other general symptoms of acute transplant rejection may include:
- Flu-like symptoms
- General feelings of discomfort
- Pain at the transplant site.
It is important to recognize transplant rejection early, so it can be treated promptly. Medications like muromonab-CD3 can be used to decrease the activity of the immune system, and stop further transplant rejection from occurring.
