The ODI Fellowship Scheme is now open for applications.
The Scheme places young and highly motivated economists and statisticians in public sector posts in developing country governments on two-year contracts. Applicants can apply for either Economics and/or Statistics streams provided they are suitably qualified.
In addition, this year we are looking for health economists or economists interested in health for Fellowships sponsored by the UK’s Fleming Fund. These Fellowships aim to help key partner countries initiate work on Anti-Microbial Resistance (AMR). The Fleming Fund will be active in over 30 countries and responds to key recommendations in the UK report “Tackling Drug Resistant Infections Globally: The Review on Anti-Microbial Resistance, Chaired by Jim O’Neill” in May 2016 (https://amr-review.org/). We encourage applicants who already have a degree of professional experience and also applicants from developing countries.
This year we are also looking for economists and money market experts who have particular experience or interest in financial sector development for Fellowships sponsored by Frontclear. These Fellows will be based in key institutions in emerging markets and developing countries including central banks and regulatory agencies and in particular in departments that have impact on or bear responsibility for the development of money and interbank markets. We encourage applicants who already have a degree of professional experience.
ODI Fellows work as local civil servants reporting to local managers. Fellows work in a range of institutions from finance and planning ministries to ministries of health and education, as well as central banks, statistics offices, and regulatory bodies. The Scheme currently has approximately 100 Fellows in 29 countries, mostly low-income or high-poverty countries. Fellows receive a salary equivalent to GBP21,000 a year (increasing to GBP23,000 in the second year) plus a housing allowance.
The ODI Fellowship Scheme is highly competitive and extremely prestigious. ODI Fellows have gone on to make successful careers in the World Bank, the IMF, the UK’s DFID and a wide range of public and private sector organisations. We are looking for candidates with excellent academic qualifications, a sound grasp of applying economic and statistical theory to real world problems, an ability to communicate economic and statistical ideas to non-specialists, and a willingness to integrate into what are often very different cultural and bureaucratic environments. A master’s degree or PhD in economics, statistics or a related discipline is required. Applicants will need to have completed their postgraduate degree by the time postings commence. The Scheme is open to candidates of all nationalities.
The host government draws up Terms of Reference for each two-year posting. The success of the Scheme and the respect it has gained from governments is demonstrated by the consistently high demand for Fellows and by the degree of responsibility often entrusted to Fellows. The costs of employing each Fellow are shared between the recipient government and ODI, making this a unique form of technical support. The ODI Fellowship Scheme currently uses funds generously provided by the UK’s Department for International Development, Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Food and Agriculture Organisation, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the Fleming Fund, and Frontclear to supplement the salaries paid by the host governments. Some governments fund the entire cost of Fellowships themselves.
Please note that the application process will close on December 2nd, 2018, and applications must be submitted by 23:59 (GMT) to be considered. Please ensure that you complete your application form within seven days of registering. If you are experiencing problems with your application, please contact the Fellowship Scheme office on firstname.lastname@example.org

The past few months I have slanted my workouts a bit more towards conditioning. I have still been doing strength training twice a week, but have included three conditioning workouts a week. This was done primarily to ready myself for the Memorial Day Murph workout I blogged about last time and was very successful as I beat my goal by over five minutes.
One of my favorite conditioning workouts has become interval training. Interval training is simply short high intensity periods of exercise alternated with short rest periods. I have done this type of workout in the past with sprinting. With my current knee situation I have been advised to reduce or eliminate running from my program by my doctor. I have greatly reduced my running to just the Murph workout. I have replaced running with the trusty Schwinn Airdyne I purchased off of Craigslist shortly before my surgery last year.
Typically I will pedal for either a certain length of time trying to keep a specified RPM or I will go all out for a certain distance. In between I will continue pedaling at a low RPM of around 50. As a personal preference I don’t really care for long distance running or biking so this type of training has been ideal for me and a great benefit to my conditioning.
In the example above I included some core work after a slight break from my interval workout. I enjoy including some core work on my interval days.

Gov. Scott wants proof of Sen. Nelson's claims that Russians have breached election systems
Earlier this week, Sen. Bill Nelson claimed that Russians gained access to Florida's voter registration system.
Gov. Rick Scott, who is challenging Nelson for his Senate seat, said he wants to see proof.
Nelson is a member of the Armed Services subcommittee on cyber security and made the claim while speaking to the Tampa Bay Times before a campaign event.
He told the Times that Russian hackers have already breached systems for some counties in the state, citing the Senate Intelligence Committee as his source.
He did not elaborate, only saying that it's classified.
Scott addressed the claims Friday, saying, "Senator Nelson is accusing the administration of withholding important information on election meddling from Florida election officials that could protect our election process here in Florida. That is a very serious charge, for which Bill Nelson has provided no proof. This cannot be swept under the rug. Bill Nelson must come clean and provide a thorough explanation. Elections are not something to try to scare people about."
Florida's Secretary of State said his office does not have evidence to support Nelson's claims.
On Friday, the secretary sent a letter to the chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee requesting more information.

Jeremy Hunt: Don’t close our GP surgeries
By Nat Whalley
Jeremy Hunt has changed the rules again. He’s bringing in cuts that could see some local GP surgeries closing their doors for good. 700,000 of us could lose our local GP.
The top-up funds that many surgeries rely on are being slashed and the money channelled away from those who need them most. Even NHS England admitted that Hunt’s reforms strike the poorest hardest.
The clock is ticking: some surgeries say they could close within a year. The government won’t want bad news stories sticking around in the run up to the election. If Jeremy Hunt feels another big battle brewing over the NHS, it might be enough to persuade him to stop the cuts.
As Hunt tries to relax this weekend, let’s make sure he feels the heat. We can build a huge petition to leave him in no doubt that these cuts are not ok and we’ll always be here to protect our NHS:
38 Degrees members have already taken on Jeremy Hunt and won before. We stopped his Hospital Closure Clause and people power beat him in court twice when 38 Degrees members helped fund the legal case to save Lewisham hospital.
As more surgeries are forced to shut, this could open the door for more GP surgeries to be run by large private firms on the cheap.
Hundreds of our GPs have already been campaigning against these cuts – let’s stand with them.
Please sign the petition to stop Jeremy Hunt’s dangerous plans in their tracks:

Infrared therapy uses specialized wavelengths of light to help with weight loss, skin health, and injury healing. At Metropolitan Med Spa in Houston, the medical spa team led by Marjon Monfared, MD, provides this innovative treatment trend that’s a favorite of celebrities and athletes. To take advantage of the infrared sauna therapy offered at the spa, call today or book an appointment using the online tool.
The unique sauna works by using infrared wavelengths of light to heat the body at its core. Using a specialized wavelength, the heat vibrates water molecules in the body to a point that they break down. You experience a deep, detoxifying sweat at the cellular level, where toxins lie.
If you desire improved skin and a reduction of inflammation, you may benefit from infrared therapy. All types of skin and adults of all ages benefit.
The infrared sauna brings about results at a lower temperature as compared to a traditional sauna, making it more tolerable for clients who don’t like high heat.
Infrared therapy brings about a number of extraordinary aesthetic benefits. These include:
When you’re exposed to the light, your cells are prompted to produce additional collagen and elastin. These compounds improve your skin’s strength and youthful look. The infrared light promotes nutrient exchange, oxygen delivery, and greater blood flow in inflamed and painful areas, too.
Infrared therapy sessions last 30-45 minutes. Dr. Monfared develops a customized plan for your goals and needs. You benefit from a series of 12 sessions, scheduled two to three times per week over the course of three to four weeks.
No downtime is required after infrared sauna therapy. You can go right back to your daily activities, including work and exercise, if desired. The light therapy has no side effects. It doesn’t heat the surface of the skin, so there’s no risk of burning. Sauna therapy is pain-free and noninvasive.
You notice improvements in skin health and feel fresher after just one treatment. Optimal results are achieved when you follow through on a recommended full course of 12 treatments.
To benefit from the state-of-the-art infrared therapy offered at Metropolitan Med Spa, call the office today or schedule a visit online.

Was scammed of my 3BTC late last month by way of a hyperlink I noticed on Facebook. They blocked me after sending my Bitcoin to them with the hope of making a 100 percent revenue within a month as I was advised. I started doing some search on-line on the way to recuperate lost Bitcoins, many evaluations I noticed stated it’s unimaginable however I refused to surrender cuz I couldn’t imagine dropping my cash identical to that. I would advise anyone to watch out with random hackers but I strongly advocate WIZARD for any type of credit score problem.

Is Crypto An Excellent Lengthy
Using blockchain expertise, customers can affirm transactions without needing a central authority, like a financial institution.

Baby Got Back! Nicki Minaj Looks Bootylicious While Performing In Fishnets & A Thong
Nicki Minaj shook her booty while performing in Dublin on her Pinkprint Tour. Talk about the luck of the Irish!
Minaj held up an Irish flag on stage, much to the delight of her fans. But they were about to get quite an eyeful!
When the singer turned around, concert-goers couldn't help but notice her curves.
Looks like one fan wanted to get a close up!
Check out the side view!
This is a booty that would make even Kim Kardashian jealous.
It's good to see Minaj looking happy after her tour manager was killed in February.
Back in November 2014, Minaj faced controversy for her "Only" video which featured imagery uncomfortably reminiscent of Nazi Germany. She later apologized.
Minaj seems to have found a perfect distraction for any problem!

The star-studded audience seemed to enjoy the most memorable moments of the 2019 American Music Awards as they watched their favorite performers belt out their hits and mingle with celebrities.
Here are some of the highlights from the ceremony.
Malcolm Barrett is a winner again
The costume designer to “Saturday Night Live” and creator of the lines “Take that, Donald Trump” and “This is my face.” somehow still isn’t taken seriously. (We think).
And now he’s the first American to win three straight AMA awards. How’s that for an American cultural breakthrough?
Gloria Estefan reunites with ‘Miami Sound Machine’
The mother of Emilio Estefan, who took the night off from “Dancing With the Stars,” was serenaded by her son as they shared the stage in a video during the show’s tribute to legendary Latin artists.
Gloria Estefan, who hasn’t performed onstage in 10 years, sang a medley of her biggest hits — including the 1998 No. 1 song “Conga.”
“Not saying you’re not going to win,” she said with her trademark Puerto Rican-heavy accent, “but I’ve got it in the bag.”
BTS 2.0, hands-down
The South Korean boy band won Favorite Artist: Electronic Dance Music. But with band mates sharing the stage, it was hard to tell who won.
The K-pop band is already an international success in Asia. The clip of their first American TV appearance this year has been viewed more than a billion times.
Prince protege Sheila E. was the surprise tribute choice to honor the late music legend at the American Music Awards.
The Motown guitarist used her guitar prowess to re-create Prince’s infamous “Batdance” from 1979.
When the curtain opened to reveal a live band featuring Gary Clark Jr., it was clear it wasn’t going to be the same performance the late music legend left behind.
Performers and presenters clearly had some love for Sheila.

Tim Reese, now a completely hardened soldier, is in the miniseries, but the tone is very different from the cancelled ongoing.
If anything, the story gives what may be my favorite Terminator comic moment. It just happens to be set against the backdrop of an epic interstellar conflict that threatens an entire galaxy.
You know that awesome scene where the T is frozen, the T shoots him, and he reforms? I was NOT expecting to see that in a Batman comic.

I do want to make one negative comment though, as a matter of constructive criticism. I really like the placement of the first bubble in the last panel, it really helps with the pacing of the comic, as if the sound of his voice interrupted the animal.

WATERBURY, Conn. (CBSNewYork/AP) — The police chief in a Connecticut city has halted permits for gun shows, saying he’s concerned any firearms purchased there might one day be used in a mass shooting.
The Republican-American reports that Waterbury Police Superintendent Michael Gugliotti imposed a moratorium the day after the Dec. 14 killings of 20 children and six educators at a grade school not far away in Newtown.
He says he’s concerned a gun used in a future mass shooting could be traced to a purchase made at a show in Waterbury.
Westchester Collectors Inc. had planned a firearm and knife show for Jan. 12 and 13. Show organizer Newman B. Chittenden says canceling the gun show will not improve security.
He says that vendors will turn away people who have mental health problems and that they use common sense when evaluating whether to sell.
Meanwhile, Westchester Collectors Inc. will hold a firearm expo scheduled for this weekend at the Crowne Plaza Hotel as planned.
Stamford Mayor Michael Pavia said the timing of the event is insensitive in the light of the mass shooting in Newtown — which is just 30 miles from Stamford –and should be cancelled.
The gun show typically attracts high-end collectors and features antiques. Police said they have never had a problem with the event and the organizer always performs the required background checks, WCBS 880’s Sean Adams reported.

The Rotary Club of Belleville is going to help local children get a jump start this school year.
The club will deliver dictionaries to students at Belleville’s seven public elementary schools and St. Peter’s School this fall.
"We've done this for a number of years and we all love it," said Phillip Nobile, Rotary president.
Joan Taub is Rotary's spokesperson, and said, "Each member goes to a few different schools, and it is so great to see the kids' faces light up when you hand them the dictionary."
The exact date will be announced, but will be in late October, Taub said.
In addition, the club is planning a Thanksgiving event for the public and will invite children to “hunt” chocolate turkeys this fall.
Taub said it’s similar to an Easter Egg hunt, but instead of eggs, kids look for as many chocolate turkeys as they can find.
This year’s hunt will be held on Saturday, Nov. 10 at 10 a.m. at the Clermont Field, Belleville School No. 8 at 183 Union Ave.
Children of all ages arrive at the field early Saturday morning with their parents to join the hunt, and despite the chilly air, the kids have a good time munching on some breakfast, interacting with clowns, watching magic tricks, and hunting for chocolate turkeys all over the field, Taub said.
Families are invited to join Rotary for this free event. There will be music, prizes and more, as the club celebrates its ninth decade of serving the town, Nobile said.
The Belleville Rotary members are professionals from a cross-section of careers who volunteer their time, contribute to their local community, along with the global efforts of the International Rotary Club.
The club raises funds and sponsors a Belleville Little League which went undefeated this summer, donates dictionaries to all the third graders, stocks an ongoing food pantry during the holidays and collects coats for a drive which they co-sponsor with the Cerebral Palsy Center in Belleville.
The club sponsored a cerebral palsy center child at Camp Merryheart in Hackettstown this summer, and has raised money for children’s' surgeries around the world, Taub said.
Taub and Nobile invite anyone who would like to join the club."We're always looking for new members," Taub said.
The Rotary Club of Belleville meets for lunch every Wednesday at 12:15 p.m. Those interested in attending and becoming part of this group are invited to call Taub at 973-450-3434 for more information.

Tour Packages Discounts
American Express reports that one-third of the average person spends $1,000 per year on vacation and if you are part of this statistic, you may be looking for unique places to visit this year. Instead of choosing run-of-the-mill popular travel packages, consider visiting some of the more exotic locations in the world.
Vietnam Tour Packages
Vietnam tour packages may be surprising but the small, tropical country actually has a lot to offer. Vietnam is absolutely beautiful with almost every type of natural landscape available. Mountain ranges surrounded by forests with stunning lakes at the foot along with rivers dotted with beds of rice are found in northern Vietnam. The country is also the home of some of the most beautiful natural caves in the world as well as exciting natural rock slides, waterfalls and beaches. Vietnamese cuisine is popular around the world so it stands to reason eating in the actual country would be amazing. Delicious meals are created on the side of the road from a single bag and roadside stands offer everything from papaya salad, spring rolls with dipping sauces, giant seafood pancakes, grilled corn on the cob and banana cake in coconut milk sauce. Of course, when in Vietnam, you must try their standard meat and noodle soup, pho. Tour packages to Vietnam are relatively inexpensive with hotel rooms costing as little as $5 per night and meals as low as $2.
Egypt Vacation Packages
When choosing your next vacation tour packages, consider a trip to Egypt. The country boasts of a spectacular landscape filled with cultural gems. Egypt vacation packages allow you to enjoy sun, sand and sea while also gaining an appreciation for ancient cultures. Egypt is steeped in history and boasts some of the most iconic landmarks in the world. Travel packages include visits to the Great Pyramids, Luxor temple, the Valley of the Kings and more. You can even enjoy a camel ride across the desert or sail along the Nile. Egypt vacation packages also include luxury accommodations like the Four Seasons, Dreams Beach Resort and Hurghada Marriot beach Resort where you can relax on untouched beaches and enjoy some of the delicious Egyptian cuisine.
Beijing Tour Packages
Beijing has more than 3,000 years of history which means Beijing tour packages include visits to the Temple of Heaven, where ancient emperors performed rituals for bountiful harvests, as well as the Summer Palace, the summer retreat of many of Beijing’s leaders. You may also visit Ming Tombs, the burial location of 13 Ming Dynasty emperors. Beijing is where you can see the Great Wall of China and the Forbidden City, one of the largest ancient architectural complexes in the world. Take a walk down the hutongs, 13th century public alleys with private courtyard residences which are more like folk-custom museums that provide a window into how life used to be in Beijing.
European Tour Packages
One of the rites of youth for many people is to backpack across Europe. Although this may be fun when you are young, it is physically and mentally taxing. Instead, consider European tour packages that allow you to visit several European countries on one vacation using comfortable transportation and providing luxury accommodations. You can find European tour packages that include medieval castles in Ireland, the ruins of Rome, beautiful artwork in France, war relics in Germany and stunning religious monuments in England. Each city in Europe has its own culture and feel, from Paris to London to Prague. In addition, each city has its own colorful festivals, including Oktoberfest in Germany, tomato throwing and bull running in Spain plus many more that are sure to entertain you and your entire family. Of course, the food in Europe is amazing as well. Eating pizza is much different sitting in a cute café in Rome than it is sitting on your sofa watching television. You can find delicious schnitzel in Berlin, figgy pudding in London, shepherd’s pie in Dublin or baklava in Athens that is completely different than anything you have ever tried in the United States.

HPE Lighthouse & Project Aurora-Forbes
HPE announced enhancements in its GreenLake edge to cloud platform at its HPE Discover event. This platform provides cloud services in the data center, in a colocation center and at the edge. HPE says that, “These innovations enable customers to transform and modernize their workloads to a cloud operating model, optimize and secure applications from edge to cloud, and achieve a future-ready position capable of addressing and leveraging all forms of data, regardless of location.”
The company also announced GreenLake cloud services to support applications such as 5G, electronic medical records, financial services, data and risk analytics, high performance computing and artificial intelligence. The company says that its GreenLake cloud platform has over 1,200 customers representing $4.8B in total contract value and a 95% customers renewal rate. HPE also said that it now has a pay-per-use, consumption-based pricing model that will optimize at the silicon level for a more granular cloud experience.
GreenLake provides cloud services for servers, storage, networking and a number of software and workload applications. The new GreenLake Lighthouse is meant to provide easy to use workload-optimized solutions. HPE’s Project Aurora is developed to provide cloud-native zero-trust access to the company’s edge-to-cloud GreenLake. The figure below provides some features for Project Aurora.
Project Aurora automatically and continuously verifies the integrity of the hardware, firmware, operating systems, platforms and workload, including security workloads. The company says that Aurora (building upon HPE’s silicon root of trust technology) can automatically detect advanced threats from silicon to cloud in seconds, compared to today’s average of 28 days. Project Aurora will be embedded in HPE GreenLake Lighthouse and later extended into other GreenLake services.
Also, at HPE Discover, Kioxia was showcasing its lineup of enterprise SSDs, optimized for HPE ProLiant servers. These products include a new series of PCIe 4.0 SSDs, the first-ever 24G enterprise SAS SSDs, and a class of value SAS SSDs that will drive the transition away from SATA SSDs.

Later, I recieved E-Mail that said:
As excerpted from a September 1876 article in The Freeman's Journal written by Edward Clark, the builder/owner, himself:
" ... Kingfisher Tower is a miniature castle, after the style of the eleventh and twelfth centuries .... The tower is about 20 feet sq. at the base, and at a height of five feet above the water is the main floor. Ten feet above this is the first platform, provided with ramparts and machicolated parapets.
"Above this stage the tower alone rises, eight feet sq., crowned with a pyramidal roof pierced with a window on each side, the walls bearing at one angle a bartizan with conical roof. The walls of the structure are most solidly built of stone from the shores of the Lake, the roofs covered with earthen tiles ... The main windows are brilliant with stained glass, and each bears in the center a heraldic shield. When first built a drawbridge connected the castle with the causeway running to the main land, while a portcullis could be lowered to close the entrance.
"The drawbridge, portcullis and doors were all of solid oak. Stairs lead to the highest platform of the tower, and from the numerous openings and loopholes with which the walls are pierced, a fine panoramic view of the lake and county can be obtained. ... The original design for "Kingfisher Tower" was selected from several drawn by Henry J. Hardenburgh, Esq., architect.
Of note, Mr. Clark was actually criticized for his folly as few people saw, at the time, the benefit of having such an attraction on the Lake. Today however it is a loved landmark which is still owned by the descendants of Edward Clark. Please note the castle is very private, no tours are available, and outside of viewing it from a boat no other attempts to occupy castle should be attempted :)

“All things were made by Him, and there was not anything made that was not made by Him.” John 1:3
The past week’s lesson of Come, Follow Me Week #4 involves the study of John 1.
Here’s what I learned and pondered over:
- I love that the lesson refers to John 1, including the scripture above, which is the first scripture cited in the Living Christ document. Jesus is indeed the Creator of the world. I love to ponder over how much He must delight to see us explore and uncover the many beauties and joys this world holds, with its sunsets, oceans, trees, mountains, rocks, waterfalls, rainbows, lakes, gorges, and canyons. He created all these things to delight us! The song in the video above by John Rutter, with the beautiful Smith Family Ensemble singing it, perfectly captures this beauty and love. I remember standing on a beach in Florida years ago. As I looked over the pure turquoise ocean meeting the powder blue sky at the horizon, I felt such a love welling up in me. The artistry, the beauty of the moment was so exquisite. In that instant, I knew without a doubt that God loves me as my heavenly father, and that He gave His son, Jesus Christ, to redeem me from my sins. The world’s beautiful creations allow us to feel this love. Whenever we feel stuck, getting out in nature, touching the earth, beholding the beauty, can help us get answers from God, through the power of Jesus Christ. Immersion in nature can give us downloads from heaven.
- As it says in the lesson, we can come to know, “as Nathanael did, that the Savior knows us and loves us and wants to prepare us to receive ‘greater things’ (John 1:50).” What are these “greater things”? They are angels, miracles, signs, wonders, prophets, apostles, prophecies, revelations, temples, spiritual gifts, promises, covenants, and the riches of eternity with eternal families, eternal joy and eternal life, all found in the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. These “greater things” include the words of the Book of Mormon. The phrase “greater things” is also found in the Book of Mormon, with a corresponding promise:
“And when they shall have received this, which is expedient that they should have first, to try their faith, and if it shall so be that they shall believe these things then shall the greater things be made manifest unto them. And if it so be that they will not believe these things, then shall the greater things be withheld from them, unto their condemnation.” 3 Nephi 22:9-10
It’s really true that those who receive the the words in the Book of Mormon qualify to receive “greater things.”

Four Fish to Try Today
Looking to add some more fish to your menu? We’ve rounded up four common fish that are easy to incorporate into your diet, plus some simple tips for picking the best catch, how to store and prepare. Let’s dive in!
Trout is a pink-fleshed fish with a flavour reminiscent of salmon. Saltwater trout tends to have a gamier taste than freshwater trout, which is considerably milder in flavour. Both farmed and wild trout is readily available at grocery stores and often comes with a lower price tag than salmon. Trout pairs well with light citrus or dill-based marinades.
The name snapper is an umbrella term for a large variety of Rockfish that are found in oceans all over the world. Red snapper, with its instantly-recognizable colour and vibrant scales, is a white-fleshed fish that is ideal for those who don’t like strongly-flavoured fish. Because of its incredible presentation red snapper is often baked whole as an individual serving. Cream or dairy-based sauces tend to overwhelm this delicate fish, but it pairs well with Asian and tropical flavours.
Salmon has a distinct flavour that is stronger than most fish, making it a great choice when served with robust sauces. Full of healthy Omega 3 fatty acids, salmon is a more forgiving fish to cook for beginners as it contains higher amounts of fat than other fish. Look for wild sockeye salmon versus farmed Atlantic salmon, it’s a more environmentally-friendly option and it has superior flavour and texture.
Catfish is often compared to tilapia, another popular white-fleshed fish with a similar taste. Catfish is mild and slightly sweet, with a meatier texture that makes it ideal for coating in batter to be oven-fried for homemade fish sticks, or as the base of an incredible sandwich. Most catfish sold in Canada is farmed and cleaner-tasting then wild catfish, which is often described as having a muddier taste.
General tips for buying fish
Find a good seafood source such as a fish counter in a grocery store or better yet, a specialty seafood shop. The fish counter shouldn’t smell fishy; a clean ocean scent is a sign that the fish is fresh. Fish should be resting on a bed of ice when being displayed, if the fish is covered in ice that’s even better. Make friends with a fishmonger if possible, they’ll be able to answer any questions you might have and are often a goldmine of preparation and recipe tips. Fish should feel firm to the touch without any feeling of sliminess which can indicate a high level of bacteria on the fish.
How to store fish at home
Ideally, fresh fish should be used the same day it’s purchased and can be kept in its original packaging. If the fish won’t be used for another day or two (at most) it needs to be stored at a lower temperature than the average refrigerator is kept. Solve this problem by rinsing the fish in ice cold water and patting it dry with paper towel and then transferring to a large resealable bag or sealed in plastic wrap. Using either a baking sheet pan or a large plastic container layer ice or ice packs with the wrapped up fish, finishing with more ice on top.
How to prepare fish
Fish is more delicate than red meat or poultry and is prone to over-cooking or falling apart as it cooks. When marinating fish keep in mind that it needs far less time than other meats, particularly when using a marinade that’s high in acidity. In general, fish only needs to marinate for half an hour although the fish will still be flavourful with less time. Baking, grilling, poaching, and pan-searing are all excellent ways to prepare fish for any home cook, being mindful to take off of direct heat just before you think it’s done. Perfectly cooked fish will flake apart at the touch of a fork or when a meat thermometer reads 145F.

Delighted to be part of the blog tour today
21 January 2021
My thanks to the publishers for my copy of the book
and to Random Things Tours for the invitation to be part of the blog tour today
On paper, Merina Wilde has it all: a successful career writing the kind of romantic novels that make even the hardest hearts swoon, a perfect carousel of book launches and parties to keep her social life buzzing, and a childhood sweetheart who thinks she’s a goddess. But Merry has a secret: the magic has stopped flowing from her fingers. Try as she might, she can’t summon up the sparkle that makes her stories shine. And as her deadline whooshes by, her personal life falls apart too. Alex tells her he wants something other than the future she’d always imagined for them and Merry finds herself single for the first time since – well, ever.
Desperate to get her life back on track, Merry leaves London and escapes to the windswept Orkney Islands, locking herself away in a secluded clifftop cottage to try to heal her heart and rediscover her passion for writing. But can the beauty of the islands and the kindness of strangers help Merry to fool herself into believing in love again, if only long enough to finish her book? Or is it time for her to give up the career she’s always adored and find something new to set her soul alight?
Merina Wilde is a very successful writer of romantic fiction however, with her personal life in disarray, she decides to take up a position as Writer in Residence on the Orkney Islands. Leaving her home and best friend behind in London is difficult, but in order to face her challenges, and to get her writing mojo back, Merina needs a complete change of scene. Her arrival on Orkney is greeted with great enthusiasm, from the islanders themselves, who are all avid readers, to her connection to the lovely librarian, Niall, it all helps to make her transition from London to Brightwater Bay seem remarkably easy.
What then follows is a really lovely and vibrant story which brings to life the beauty and majesty of the island itself. Orkney's ancient history, and spectacular coastline, is opened up before us. Everything is so well described that we experience living on the island through Merina's eyes, from watching the sea birds swooping and diving, to the spectacular coastal views and exploring the island in all its many moods. As Merina grows accustomed to the slower pace of life and makes new friends so she starts to feel better about herself and her writing.
The author writes romantic fiction with a lovely light touch and really special characterisation. I mean what's not to love about a heartwarming story which has both a gentle and kind man who loves books, and a handsome, brooding Viking lookalike, who takes your breath away. Sometimes a special story comes along at just the right time and with the weather exceptionally cold, and with thick snow on the ground reading Coming Home to Brightwater Bay has been just the escape I needed to take me away from the mundane. I loved the many moods and nuances of the story and was completely captivated from start to finish so much so that I was really sad when my stay at Brightwater Bay came to an end as I wanted this heartwarming story to go on forever.
Coming Home to Brightwater Bay was originally published as 4 separate novellas and I can understand how that succeeds as the story is split into four distinct sections but it also works well as a complete novel.
About the Author
Holly Hepburn is the much-loved author of commercial women’s fiction. She lives near London with her grey tabby cat, Portia. They both have an unhealthy obsession with Marmite.

Researcher: Police increasingly peeping at e-mail, instant messagesby Jeremy Kirk, IDG News Service

Law enforcement organizations are making tens of thousands of requests for private electronic information from companies such as Sprint, Facebook and AOL, but few detailed statistics are available, according to a privacy researcher.
Police and other agencies have "enthusiastically embraced" asking for e-mail, instant messages and mobile-phone location data, but there's no U.S. federal law that requires the reporting of requests for stored communications data, wrote Christopher Soghoian, a doctoral candidate at the School of Informatics and Computing at Indiana University, in a newly published paper.
"Unfortunately, there are no reporting requirements for the modern surveillance methods that make up the majority of law enforcement requests to service providers and telephone companies," Soghoian wrote. "As such, this surveillance largely occurs off the books, with no way for Congress or the general public to know the true scale of such activities."

If you are like the me, you are always looking for ways to save money in your budget. One area of your budget that you've probably overlooked is in the cost of your utility bills, because most people believe them to be “fixed” costs. While there are some fixed costs in your monthly budget, your utility bills aren't one of them. Utility bills can be reduced by employing a few simple strategies.
Turn it Off and Unplug it if You Aren’t Using it!
This seems rather obvious, but you would be amazed at how many people leave small kitchen appliances plugged in at all times. It only takes a moment to plug them back in when you are ready to use them, and the savings from unplugging does add up. Another quick fix is to shut your computer down and make sure any unnecessary lights are turned off before you go to bed each night.
While you’re thinking about conservation, consider also how much water you could be wasting. Changing your water usage habits could generate additional savings on both your water bill and your energy bill. How do you accomplish this? Turn the water off while brushing your teeth or shaving, and install low flow faucets or restrictors. Did you know you can install an inexpensive shower timer to limit the amount of time your teenager spends under the shower head? I should know, my parents used this one on me back in the day!
Turn Down Your Water Heater
Use caution here with this tip. OSHA states water heaters set below 140 degrees Fahrenheit encourage growth of Legionnaire’s Disease Bacteria and other microorganisms. However, your water doesn’t need to be scalding to do the job, either. Keep it a little above the minimum for maximum savings on your electric bill of between $2.00 and $8.00 per month.
Turn Down Your Thermostat
You can save as much as 3% off your heating bill for every degree you turn your thermostat down – or up for cooling. Turning the setting down before you go to work and while you sleep is like having free money. However, if you don’t want to have to turn it up or down manually several times a day, you could also install a programmable thermostat. You can purchase one for as little as $30.00 at any home improvement store, and the savings and convenience quickly makes it worth the purchase. These days you can also purchase "smart" thermostats that you can control with your smartphone too. I might have to install one of those myself! 🙂
Do a thorough home inspection and make note of any repairs needed. You may be losing money down the drains with leaky faucets, or out the doors or windows from areas that need weather stripping, caulking, or insulation. Fixing these problem areas is cheap and easy, and you can generate a monthly savings of anywhere from 5% up to 40% on your utility bills.
Change your furnace filters regularly. If you have a large house and pets, you might need to change it once a month. If not, maybe every other month will do. But setting up a schedule based on how quickly it gets dirty is a good idea. Changing the filters will not only result in cleaner air in your home, but it will improve your furnace's efficiency. The savings just from changing your filters could be anywhere from 5 to 15% on your bill.
These are only a few of the ways you could be saving on your utility bills each month. With a little thought, you can probably come up with other ideas that would reduce your utility bills even further. Pick a couple and give them a try. You have little to lose, and you could gain a lot.
Have you used any of these methods to save on your utility bills?

Scientists restore sight in blind mice
Scientists have taken a crucial step towards restoring the sight of people suffering from degenerative eye diseases like retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration.
Writing in the journal Nature the team, based at UCL's Institute of Opthalmology, show that transplanting light-sensitive photoreceptors into the eyes of visually impaired mice can restore their vision.
"This is a landmark study" says Professor Robin Ali who led the research. "We've shown for the first time that transplanted photoreceptors can integrate successfully with the retinal circuitry, making synaptic connections, and truly improving vision".
The research involved transplanting immature, or progenitor, rod photoreceptors into the lining of the retina in blind adult mice. Rod cells are especially important for seeing in the dark as they are extremely sensitive to low levels of light. After about four to six weeks the transplanted cells appeared to have integrated well, and formed the connections needed to transmit visual information to the brain.
So well in fact that the mice with newly transplanted rod cells were able to use visual cues to find a hidden platform in a dimly-lit maze almost as quickly as healthy controls.
The loss of light-sensitive photoreceptors is the cause of blindness in many human eye diseases, but there's a long way to go before the technique could be applied in a clinical setting.
"It's a proof of concept" says professor Ali. "What's exciting is that it demonstrates the feasibility of this approach. But it's important to stress we're still a long way from a clinical application in humans".
One problem that remains to be overcome will be sourcing progenitor photoreceptors for transplant in humans. The cells used in this experiment were taken from neo-natal mice - not something that would ever be countenanced in humans. The UCL team are already looking at how they might get round the problem by stimulating embryonic stem cells to differentiate into photoreceptors.
Once they've cracked that all that remains is to repeat the whole process for cone cells - the other type of light sensitive photoreceptor cell lining the retina.

Our New York elder law attorneys are proud to help local residents prepare for the myriad of issues that face them in their golden years. The elderly community remains particularly vulnerable in many ways because of their physical limitations, living conditions, and financial status. It is unfortunate that so many seniors struggle as they age to receive basic day-to-day care that maximizes their quality of life. Still others fall victim to unscrupulous con artists who take advantage of their vulnerability and access to resources built up over a lifetime.
All seniors need to take certain precautions to guard against these risks, but some seniors may have an even stronger need than others. For example, elders in the LGBT community may be less likely to have adult children providing assistance at this time in their lives, meaning outside help is paramount. That is why the news of the grand opening of the nation’s first LGBT Senior Center should be greeted with support. As reported on Friday in The Edge, the center is located in Manhattan on 27th Street in North Chelsea. Referred to as the SAGE Center (Services and Advocacy for GLBT Elders), the facility has been a long time in the making and will undoubtedly play an important role in improving the lives of many local residents.
Summarizing the opening, the SAGE executive director noted, “This center is going to change the lives of LGBT elders here in New York City […] and it is going to be a beacon of light all across the country, because it’s the first center of its kind anywhere.”
The SAGE Center plans to offer a range of important services. Hot meals will be served to those who need it, social service programs will be offered, fitness programs will be available, social activities will be facilitated, and other programs are in the works to help this particular group of city elders. The Center was made possible as part of the city’s Innovative Senior Citizen program to provide additional resources to ten leading city aging organizations. Financing for the SAGE Center also came with support from the Calamus Foundation and the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation.
Working with LGBT residents on estate planning issues as well as senior care concerns, the New York elder law estate planning attorneys at our firm appreciate the unique challenges facing members of this community. All area senior centers act as important bastions of support, community, and purpose for residents who otherwise might not have anywhere to go on a daily basis. The promotion of these spaces is good news for all area seniors and their families.

US voters in California, Michigan, Kentucky and Vermont Tuesday voted in favor of abortion rights in four state ballot measures. Results from Montana’s vote remain inconclusive, but abortion advocates are poised to win. In June, the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade with Dobbs v. Jackson Women Health Organization and ruled there is no constitutional right to abortion at the federal level. The decision left each state to decide its own abortions law.
In California, voters affirmed Proposition 1 and decided to expressly “include existing rights to reproductive freedom—such as the right to choose whether or not to have an abortion and use contraceptives” in the California Constitution. Abortion is legal in California, and Governor Gavin Newsom, who won reelection on Tuesday, has passed several laws to further protect abortion access in the state.
Michiganers voted in favor of Proposal 3 to “establish [a] new individual right to reproductive freedom, including [the] right to make all decisions about pregnancy and abortion; allow [the] state to regulate abortion in some cases; and forbid prosecution of individuals exercising [this] established right.” In Wednesday’s early hours, the ACLU of Michigan announced victory in the vote and thanked voters for making “Michigan the first state in the nation to pass an affirmative citizen-led constitutional amendment that guarantees the right to abortion.” Abortion is currently legal in Michigan after Governor Gretchen Whitmer won a preliminary injunction against the state’s abortion ban in August. Whitmer also secured another term as governor on Tuesday.
Kentucky voters rejected Constitutional Amendment 3, a proposed revision to the state constitution reading, “nothing in this Constitution shall be construed to secure or protect a right to abortion or require the funding of abortion.” Although abortion remains illegal in Kentucky at this time, the ACLU and other organizations are in the process of challenging the bans in court and have asked for a temporary injunction while the lawsuits play out. Shortly before midnight on election day, The ACLU and the ACLU of Kentucky announced a victory for abortion rights, but outlets like the Associated Press have yet to call the vote.
Vermont voters chose overwhelmingly to accept Proposal 5 and include language in the state constitution “that an individual’s right to personal reproductive autonomy is central to the liberty and dignity to determine one’s own life course and shall not be denied or infringed unless justified by a compelling State interest achieved by the least restrictive means.”
If accepted by Montana voters, LR-131 would adopt “the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act; providing that infants born alive, including infants born alive after an abortion, are legal persons.” The vote is currently too close to call, but Montana’s Secretary of State shows the “no” camp ahead. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommended a “no” vote on LR-131, saying the measure “would require an aggressive course of treatment in extremely complex and often tragic medical situations. It is based on inflammatory language and inaccurate descriptions of doctors, the patients they care for, and the complex and tragic circumstances families face.” Due to an August ruling by the Montana Supreme Court, abortion is currently legal in Montana.
Tuesday’s results mirror national trends. A March poll by Pew Research concluded that 61 percent of American adults believe abortion should be legal in “most or all cases.” In August, voters in Kansas turned out in record numbers to vote against a provision that would have removed abortion protections from the Kansas Constitution.

To give you an idea of the size here is another.
Wednesday, September 1, 2010
This is a small tote that MiniMoo, my daughter, gave to a friend of hers for her birthday. Both the little girls loved the size and colors of this bag. I used a batik jelly roll so this was simple and fast to put together. I know MiniMoo has already asked me to make some more for all her friends.
