There was both good news and bad news about the Block Island School building at the New Shoreham School Committee’s Sept. 16 meeting.
The good news: The committee unanimously awarded the contract for the long-planned façade renovation to Pariseault Builders, the low bidder. No asbestos was found in the dust that was kicked up when the middle school science room’s floor was repaired. And the cause of the heating oil spill in March 2019 has been found and a solution presented to the committee.
The bad news: The recommended fix, replacing electronic

Homemade Potpourri with flowers
My sister recently got married and I had the blessing of being Maid of Honour for her special day <3 . My sister and all her bridesmaids had the most beautiful bouquets of flowers and I just couldnt bear to part from them, and after a few days in water I could see they were starting to wilt and dry up... so..naturally... I thought I would make some Potpourri :)
It is so easy to make it , just takes a little waiting time to dry out the flowers but the rest is minimal effort. Potpourri gives a great scent to any room if you leave it in a bowl or there are other options like packing in a small pouch and placing it in your gym bag, underwear draw, cupboard etc.
YOU WILL NEED:
- bunch of flowers (the fresher the better, I used roses but you can use another)
- few slices of lemon
- some essential oils which when mixed willcompliment eachoher and give a nice aroma (use max 2 -3 ) . I used Lavender and Rose
- still natural water or rose water
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- dehydrator or oven to dry flowers
- small spray bottle
SUPER EASY METHOD:
1) start first by trimming stems of your flowers. Take the heads of and peel at least the outer couple of layers of petals if you have a large bud like a rose as it will take very long to dry.
2) combine 1/4 cup of water (or rose water) with your 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 18 drops of your essential oils mixture into your small spray bottle.
3) Lay out your flowers, slices of lemon onto a flat surface and spray with the aroma mixture you have created in step 2. Leave the aroma to develop overnight or at least a few hours.
4) Once the aroma has developed, it is time to dry out the mixture. This varies depending on the size of your flower heads.. the larger they are the longer it takes to dry but should be around 7 - 12 hours. I dehydrated mine at 70'C with a dehydrator but you can also do it in the oven too, likely it will be on one of the lowest settings.
5) Check that the flowers are completely dry to stop rotting and also to keep the flies away .. Once they are place them into your favourite decorative bowl or perhaps in a small sachet and keep it in a underwear drawer or gym bag and enjoy the fresh scent of y our Potpourri :)


The 26-year-old Cabrera hit .255 with four homers and 42 RBIs and started in 115 games during the regular season, then went 0 for 8 against San Francisco in the NL Division Series. He was acquired by Atlanta as part of a five-player trade that sent right-hander Javier Vazquez to the New York Yankees on Dec. 22.
Cabrera made $3.1 million and would have been eligible for salary arbitration. The Braves had until Dec. 2 to offer a 2011 contract and could have traded him before then.
"We did not feel there was a market based on the season he had and the cost of going to arbitration with him," Braves general manager Frank Wren said in an e-mail to The Associated Press.
In his final season with the Yankees, Cabrera batted .280 with 13 homers and 68 RBIs. While he hit .391 and drove in four runs in the AL Championship Series against the Los Angeles Angels, he slumped to a .154 average with no RBIs in the World Series against Philadelphia.
The 40-year-old Saito was 2-3 with a 2.83 ERA in 56 games for Atlanta and made $3.45 million, including $250,000 in performance bonuses. He had one save in two chances and helped to set up closer Billy Wagner before he was slowed by a sore right shoulder the last month of the season.
Saito pitched for 14 seasons for Yokohama of Japan's Central League before signing with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2006. He signed as a free agent with Atlanta on Dec. 3 and his contract specified he would be released within 11 days of the end of the World Series.

When the Central City Festival is in full swing today, Big Freedia will be on stage aiming to break the world record for the number of people twerking simultaneously in one place. But if your idea of a good time runs more in the vein of begonias than bounce, a half-dozen urban gardens in the vicinity of the festival will open their gates in coordination with Faubourg Lafayette’s Central City Home Tour for a leafy — if temporary — respite from the activity.
Pick up a map of the garden and farm locations at the OCH Art Market, 1618 O.C. Haley Blvd., to find the sites open today, some of which began as community gardens and evolved into thriving enterprises. Each is a little different in format and intent, so don’t stop after you visit three or four. Here is a brief overview of what to expect:
- Paradigm Gardens, 1131 S. Rampart St.: Located behind St. John the Baptist church (the one with the golden spire), this 12,000 square foot garden also hosts music concerts and food events. Joel Tilton and Jimmy Seely leased the land for the enterprise from Felicity Redevelopment for $1 per year and now grow vegetables, herbs and flowers on the site. The garden sells produce to local restaurants, including Patois, Coquette and Ancora. Two goats live on the premises and supply fresh milk.
- The Urban Farmstead, 1730 Clio St.: As much an education center as it is a garden, the Urban Farmstead aims to teach do-it-yourself and ecological design skills to gardeners. Recent classes have taught attendees how to build a solar oven and how to ferment probiotic sodas. A brood of chickens produces fresh eggs daily. Founded and coordinated by Jordan Bantuelle.
- Pistil & Stamen, 1400 O.C. Haley Blvd., corner Thalia: Parkway Partners had a hand in getting this flower-growing and arranging enterprise started when it approached veteran gardeners Denise Richter and Megan McHugh about using the vacant lot. Now, Pistil & Stamen makes a business of growing flowers to work into floral arrangements that it sells for special events and to create bouquets available through the Good Eggs network.
- Haley’s Harvest, 1603 O.C. Haley Blvd., corner Terpsichore: Also under the umbrella of Parkway Partners, Haley’s Harvest is one of the oldest community gardens in New Orleans. It was developed in the 1980s and is still tended by August Taylor, a Vietnam War veteran who grows food for his table and for his neighbors. Right now, Taylor is awaiting a delivery of new soil for his plots so that he can plant his fall crops.
- Growing Local NOLA, 1750 Carondelet St.: This demonstration farm supports local sustainable food production and offers classes in line with that mission. Sponsored by the Recirculating Farms Coalition and New Orleans Food and Farm Network, this new addition to the Central City urban farm network offers information about energy efficient growing techniques, including hydroponics and aquaponics.
- Fleur d’Eden, 2111 Baronne St.: Back in the 1990s, long before Tulane City Center students were installing rain gardens on O.C. Haley Blvd., Jeanette Bell was planting flowers there to brighten up the otherwise forlorn stretch of vacant buildings. Bell took her gardening dedication to the next level when she reclaimed and then purchased a blighted lot near her home and then began growing roses on it. Today, the enterprise includes flowers of all kinds, which she markets via Good Eggs, as well as herbs and vegetables.

As a credentialed therapist who is also an attorney in the state of California, I sometimes encounter couples who have run into some roadblocks or problems in their marriage and wants to attempt to work through them without divorcing. I’ve also worked with couples who have decided to “call it quits” after growing apart for any number of reasons and feel that divorcing is the best option. They come to me for mediation
Separation vs. Divorce
A legal separation is usually a court order that outlines the rights and duties of a couple while they are still married, but living apart. A divorce is the dissolution of the marriage. Although both situations can involve a judge ruling on issues such as child custody and visitation, spousal and child support, as well as property division, mediation by a professional can help to make the transition more smooth.
Counseling vs. Mediation
If a couple wants to save the marriage or attempt to resolve what sometimes seems like insurmountable disagreements, a marriage counselor can be indispensable in trying to reach compromise and reconciliation on sometimes deeply entrenched negative patterns the couple has developed. The counselor’s job then is to act as a facilitator between the husband and wife to reach consensus on the individual difficulties to, hopefully, save the marriage.
Marriage counseling diverges from mediation when a couple knows that the marriage is essentially over and would rather try to work out the terms of child custody and visitation, support, property, etc., as fairly and as amicably as possible through a trained mediator, in order to avoid costly litigation.
The Benefits of Mediation
A mediator recognizes this and attempts to assist in redefining the couple as individuals and help them wade through the emotional and financial entanglements of their marriage so that they can move forward as single individuals. The mediator’s primary job is to help the couple move through these issues smoothly without a contested divorce.
A skilled family law mediator can also be a great choice in helping to avoid litigation that can be destructive to children due to the animosity of one or both spouses, disputes involving property and other issues being contested by one party. They help to keep both parties focused and on a path toward an amicable resolution to the divorce.
Family dynamics are different for every couple and a good mediator can help couples navigate the sometimes treacherous waters of issues that have become sensitive subject areas. Recognizing that sometimes long-standing negative patterns can stir a plethora of emotions in couples, a seasoned mediator can employ techniques and tools to calm the parties down, assuage their fears, and keep them focused on the goals and outcomes they both desire.
Mediation isn’t for every couple going through a divorce but it can be a very effective way to part ways amicably, as well as distribute property fairly and provide the best solution for the couple’s children regarding custody, support and visitation. It should be at least a consideration before rushing to separate attorneys.

Your car is a huge investment you have to care for. You might not know enough about cars to feel comfortable servicing small repairs. If you want to learn more, read on for some tips on auto repair!
Do not hire a mechanic until you are sure they have experience with this particular make and model. A mechanic who has experience with the make and model you are driving will be able to diagnose issues quickly.
A good referral makes it much easier to locate a trustworthy mechanic. Speak with others you know to see if they can recommend someone to you. Ask about the quality of the work, what it cost and what perks were offered. They will be the first to tell you about a dishonest mechanic too!
Keep your car records on hand. A good place to keep these records in the glove box, so you can produce them on demand when talking to a mechanic. Professional mechanics will ask to review the records. This will help to diagnose any problems.
Test drive your vehicle after repairs before paying the auto repair shop. If you don’t do this, you may still have an issue after you get it home.
Ask for Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts. These parts are directly from the manufacturer of your vehicle. Generic parts might be cheaper, but they may not be good enough quality. A cheap, generic part is less of a bargain if it only lasts half as long as an OEM part would.
Keep a repair kit in the car at all times. You need to have tools to change a tire, which have come along with your car. Buy a jack if your car does not already have one equipped. In addition, include a few different screwdrivers and wrenches. You should not have cheap tools. Get good, sturdy tools that won’t break when you need them the most.
Warranties are extremely important when it comes to auto repairs, particularly if you’ve purchased expensive parts. You should ask your mechanic about the warranty on the parts they order for you. Ask for the duration of the warranty and have them print you out a copy of the contract/
There are quite a few body shops that are just out there to take off the tires you have and put older ones on. This lets them profit from your loss. Before visiting the shop, use chalk to mark your tires. If the marks are gone when you get your vehicle back, you have probably been swindled.
If you’re short on cash, the repair department in vocational schools may offer you service at a fraction of the cost. You can save a lot of money by allowing students to make repairs to your car, but do not worry because these students will be supervised by a licensed mechanic.
AAA is a good company to look into when you need auto repair. The AAA is a lifesaver when you find yourself in need of towing or having to take your car to a mechanic. Many times, AAA have set discounts to decrease your costs.
A sturdy file should be kept within the vehicle for filing of repair receipts. Divide them by repair, preventative care and maintenance or a chronology system. Keeping a detailed record of all the repairs made is very useful and can help your mechanic diagnose recurring issues very quickly. It is always a good idea to keep good records.
When visiting the auto shop, have a limit on the cost of your auto repairs without your permission. It is important not to just let the shop do whatever they please. Establish a set amount which cannot be surpassed without your authorization.
As this article said to you before, you really must be sure to take care of your vehicle. Understanding basic maintenance is a great first step. Use the information you’ve learned for the next time you find your car is in need of repair.


We are Willowbrae Parish Church, we’re investing in the local area, and we hope to create space in our church buildings for the wider community. We are engaging with the community by asking two questions: What do you think the community needs? and What are your hopes for the community?
Zoe Marshall, Community Development Worker at Willowbrae Parish Church is collecting opinions and ideas from a wide range of people who live in the area surrounding the church. When she started to ask local folk, people kept mentioning how positive Edinburgh Palette was. There was a suggestion that there may be people within St Margaret’s House who will know what will be missed locally when Edinburgh Palette moves. Maybe some of the creative people and service users may also have ideas to share about how to make tricky spaces work for the community and creatively, as it has been tried and tested in St Margaret’s House.
Zoe says – Willowbrae Parish Church buildings are already used in a variety of ways and by a variety of users from Sunday service to badminton on a Monday and Tuesday, but there are spaces that are under utilised and we have some funds to transform the building. We would like to see more activities running in our buildings that address needs in the community. We want to know what the community hope their local church can get involved in… Who could we partner with? Who might need affordable space locally? So were asking the questions.
Do you have ideas? We need to collect them!
How to help: – To contribute to the community consultations you can fill in the online survey here. or contact Zoe Marshall, zmarshall@churchofscotland.

§ (1) No stamp duty shall be chargeable under the heading "Receipt" (which as amended by section 34 of the Finance Act 1920 imposed a duty of twopence upon a receipt for £2 or upwards) in Schedule 1 to the Stamp Act 1891.
§ (2) Subsection (2) of section 101 (which provided for cancellation of the adhesive stamp by the person giving the receipt), section 102, which provided the terms upon which receipts might be stamped after execution) and paragraphs (1) and (3) of section 103 (which provided a penalty for offences in reference to receipts) of the Stamp Act 1891 and section 34 of the Finance Act 1920 shall be repealed.—[Mr. Graham Page.]
§ Brought up, and read the First time.
§ The Deputy-Chairman (Sir R. Grimston)
With this proposed new Clause can be discussed new Clause No. 52—(Stamp duty on receipts)—and Amendments Nos. 38, 39 and 40.
§ Mr. Page
I suggest that this new Clause is far more important than the one which we have been discussing up till now because if the Committee were to accept this Clause it would achieve what it sets out to do, that is to abolish the 2d. stamp on receipts. When I mentioned 1652 to an hon. Member my pleasure that this Clause was to be selected, he said, "I thought stamps on receipts had already been abolished." That, I think, shows in what disregard receipts are held at present and, indeed, the disrepute into which the law in relation to receipts has fallen.
May I state what is the law at present with regard to 2d. stamps on receipts? If ever a receipt or an acknowledgment is given, it must bear a 2d. stamp. If it does not do so, the maximum penalty is a fine of £10. The Stamp Act, 1891, which imposed this penalty and which made it an offence if a receipt did not bear a 2d. stamp, refers not only to a receipt but to an acknowledgment as well. Therefore, any form of acknowledgment that a sum of money has been paid requires a 2d. stamp. The Stamp Act also refers to a receipt or an acknowledgment for any cash or security, so that the acknowledgment not only of cash but of a cheque also requires a 2d. stamp. I suppose the answer might be, "Do not give a receipt at all." But the Stamp Act makes it an offence not to give a receipt if one is asked to give it.
How has it come about that receipts are now so seldom given? I find that I am not getting very much attention 1653 from the Treasury Bench. I am getting great attention from right hon. and hon. Members opposite but not from my own Treasury Bench.
§ Mr. Page
I am not getting any attention from the Liberal Party because they are not here. I ask my right hon. Friend the Chief Secretary to the Treasury to listen to what I am saying because I think it is important.
We have got to the stage now where very few people give any receipt at all, and if they give a receipt they do not put a 2d. stamp on it. How has this come about? It started to come about in 1957 with the Cheques Act which abolished the need for endorsement of cheques. In making it necessary that an unendorsed cheque should have the same effect that an endorsed cheque had previously had, it was necessary to state in the Cheques Act that an unendorsed cheque, if it were a paid cheque, should be an acknowledgment of payment. But in the course of the debates on that Measure I myself had to call attention to a very old case in 1800, the case of Egg v. Barnett in which it was held that a paid cheque was evidence of payment; that is, it had the same effect as a receipt.
Section 3 of the Cheques Act, 1957, provided that an unendorsed cheque which appears to have been paid by the banker on whom it is drawn is evidence of a receipt by the payee of the sum payable by that cheque. Therefore, that Act, although it made no change in the law relating to receipts, made people realise that receipts were unnecessary if the payment was made by cheque. Generally speaking, the public then made no distinction between a payment by cheque and a payment by cash, and it was thought that stamped receipts were no longer necessary. Stamped receipts are still necessary. If a receipt is given, it should be stamped. A receipt cannot be refused if the payer asks for it. Yet the law is not flouted in this respect. I think that we should not cling doggedly to a law which is in disrepute and is not enforced.
Does the Chancellor of the Exchequer hang on to the law for any reason of revenue? Is it producing any funds for the Exchequer? At the time of the 1957 1654 Act the 2d. stamp on receipts was producing £5 million in revenue; in the year 1957–58 the revenue dropped to £38 million; in 1958–59 to £2.3 million; and now it has dropped to £1.6 million. These are estimated figures. They are estimated because the 2d. receipt stamp is collected mainly by postage stamp and the Post Office pays over to the Commissioners of Inland Revenue what it estimates has been used by way of 2d. stamps on receipts. So the £1.6 million is an estimate by the Post Office of the use of 2d. stamps by way of receipt.
I think that the figure is a little suspect. I notice that the figure for 1959–60 was £1.8 million and for the three following years it has remained static at £1.6 million a year. I wonder whether the Exchequer did not really want to admit what is obvious to everybody, that fewer and fewer receipts are being given and fewer and fewer are being stamped with 2d. Every year the stamping of receipts obviously becomes less and less. Calculating from the figure of £1.6 million, the estimated revenue, I very much doubt whether as many as something over 190 million receipts a year are given.
§ Mr. Page
I have not a clue, but at the foot of the accounts in the Report of the Commissioners of Her Majesty's Inland Revenue for the year ended 31st March, 1963, there is a note stating that the duty on receipts is collected mainly by means of adhesive postage stamps which the law allows to be used for either postal or Revenue purposes, and that the Post Office receives in the first instance the whole of the amount realised by the sale of such stamps and subsequently pays over to that Department the estimated value of the stamps used for Inland Revenue as distinct from postal purposes. That is the only clue which we have of how the Post Office estimates how many 2d. stamps are used for receipts. That is why I say that it is suspect when that figure remains statistic for three years.
I have a feeling that the Commissioners of Inland Revenue are not prepared to admit what is obvious to everyone, 1655 namely, that receipts are dwindling in number, and that they want to argue that there are still 190 million receipts given each year. If that is so, surely a large proportion of those are given by conscientious bodies such as Government Departments, nationalised industries, and so on? And, if that is so, it is merely a matter of passing money from one pocket to another.
Would the Chancellor lose very much if he gave up this farcical collection of 2d on receipts? I should have thought that he ought to lose it so far as he is taking it away from public bodies who may be conscientiously going on giving receipts, and that he ought to lose it so far as it comes from private interests, from commerce, and from the professions, because he would get the tax in another way if he gave up trying to collect it by 2d. stamps on receipts.
Receipts and all that is involved in giving them are, of course, an allowance against taxable income. The cost of giving a receipt can be calculated. I would calculate it as follows. Taking the printed forms of receipt which have to be made out, or typing the receipt, or writing it, completing those forms, perhaps having forms embossed with the stamp, or licking the 2d. stamp and putting it on the receipt form, addressing the envelope in which to send off the receipt, folding the receipt and putting it in the envelope, I should have thought that a reasonable estimate of the value of the time spent on sending out receipts was between 8d. and 1s. for each receipt. To that of course one must add the cost of the stationery, and so on. That is a charge against taxable income, so that my right hon. Friend the Chancellor in collecting his 190 million receipts a year is losing the tax on about 10d. in each case and collecting only 2d. in return.
§ Mr. Douglas Houghton (Sowerby)
The Clause does not abolish receipts. It proposes to abolish the stamp on receipts, so presumably receipts could still be given, and would be desired by many people.
§ Mr. Page
They could still be given, and if they were asked for, no doubt they would be given, but, as the law stands at present, if they are given, a 2d. stamp has to be placed on them.
1656 Never was there so much time wasted in so many offices to collect so few pennies. It is no wonder that so many sensible people refuse to take part in this farce any longer, and that so many people have ceased to give receipts, and ceased to stamp even those acknowledgements which they give.
§ The Economic Secretary to the Treasury (Mr. Maurice Macmillan)
I readily admit that the revenue from this duty is not a very large or significant amount in the context of any Budget, but before I come to the details of the Clause I would point out that there are a number of minor revenue points of this nature and that it is not unreasonable for the Chancellor in a Budget which is increasing taxation to decide that none of them has sufficient priority over the others to be dealt with in his Budget. It is for this reason that I hope that my hon. Friend the Member for Crosby (Mr. Graham Page) will not press the Clause. It is not that we are clinging doggedly to this duty, to use his phrase. In general terms it is perhaps not the time to make this concession when similar and other minor taxes are still in existence.
There is another objection to the Clause. That is the effect which it has on the obligation to give a receipt on request. New Clause No. 33 attempts to retain the obligation to give a receipt on request by leaving in force part of Section 103 of the Stamp Act, 1891, in respect of the necessity to give a receipt where the receipt would be liable to Stamp Duty under the present law. The difficulty is that the terms of the Clause would mean that there would be no receipts liable to Stamp Duty under the present law. My hon. Friend has unintentionally succeeded in drafting his Clause so as to abolish the obligation to give a receipt on demand.
It works like this. If he looks at the effect on Section 103 he will see that the Clause leaves the following words:If any person … in any case where a receipt would be liable to duty refuses to give that receipt duly stamped … he shall incur a fine of ten pounds.There would be no case under the Clause in which a receipt would be liable to duty and there would be no obligation to give a receipt.
§ Mr. Graham Page
I provided for that in a previous year in a Clause which I tabled and I was told that the Clause was out of order for that very reason. That is why I have drafted the Clause in this way this year.
§ Mr. Macmillan
My hon. Friend seems in successive years to have been on the horns of a particular unfortunate dilemma; either he is out of order or he goes further than he intends. I cannot, of course, deal with the former Clause, but on the latter I assure him that in drafting the Clause he has removed this obligation.
The total amount of revenue is not very large. My figures are slightly different from those given by my hon. Friend. I am advised that receipts from the duty were £2½ million in 1963–64 and that the loss to the Exchequer would be about £1½ million in the first year. But I do not think that we need to let £1 million separate us in this case when it is not part of my argument that the duty brings in a significant revenue, nor do I deny that receipts are being given less and less. No one with any practical experience would try to counter that part of my hon. Friend's argument.
§ Mr. Page
According to the Report of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue the revenue from receipts for three consecutive years was £1.6 million, £1.6 million and £1.6 million. It is astonishing that for the one following year, 1963–64, if my hon. Friend quoted that year, it has suddenly leapt up by £1 million. This seems extraordinary and needs a little more explanation.
§ Mr. Macmillan
I will look into the matter, but I can only repeat that I am advised that the receipts for 1963–64 are estimated at about £2½ million. Part of the payment is collected by means of the Inland Revenue in impressed stamps as well as the 2d. adhesive stamps bought from the Post Office,
I urge my hon. Friend not to press his Clause. I think he will accept that this is not a great burden, although it is a nuisance. I accept that it is one of those taxes which should be kept under review and which, with the progress we have been making in simplifying business procedures, should be watched carefully. Nobody would stand on the strict principle that the whole revenue would 1658 be vitiated by the abolition of this duty. Perhaps as the use of cheques becomes more frequent we shall need to bring in more safeguards with its abolition, if in future it should be decided to repeal this duty. It would be necessary to consider whether a provision should be made in regard to the legal obligation to give receipts, stamped or otherwise, on request, and that is one point which is entirely omitted from the new Clause entitled "Stamp duty on receipts" and accidentally omitted from the new Clause entitled "Abolition of stamp duty on receipts".
§ Mr. Houghton
I am sure that the hon. Member for Crosby (Mr. Graham Page) will rot press this Clause, because he can see that there are not enough of my hon. Friends present to enable him to make a demonstration.
That this is a silly little tax there is no doubt. I object to taxes which are not enforced. I do not so much care whether they are fair or unfair, but let us have them enforced. One just cannot get this tax enforced. How on earth the Post Office estimates the number of stamped receipts given I simply do not know. How can anyone even make a guess at the revenue from this tax? I agree that this matter should be kept under review. Note of it has been taken on this side of the Committee and it may be one of the many things the Labour Government will do.
§ Question put and negatived.


New robot 'sets record' for distance walking
Scientists have developed a robot which they claim has set a new record by walking nonstop for around ten kilometres at a stretch.
An earlier version of the same robot had already set a record by free-walking a bit over one kilometre.
But this new robot, developed by Cornell University researchers led by Prof Andy Ruina, walked and walked until it finally stopped and fell backward, perhaps because its battery ran down.
"We've just moved into this world of electromechanical devices and to make something this robust is big achievement. We've learned tons about what it takes to make walking work," Ruina said.
Unlike other walking robots that use motors to control every movement, the robot named Ranger emulates human walking, using gravity to help swing its legs forward.
Standing still, the robot looks a bit like a tall sawhorse; walking, it suggests a human on crutches, alternately swinging forward two outside legs and then two inside ones.
There are no knees, but at the ends of the legs are feet that can be tipped up and down, so that the robot pushes off with its toes, then tilts its feet upward to land on the heels as it brings its legs forward.

I know that the thought of sweet potatoes in burritos does not sound that appetizing but these ended up actually being pretty good not to mention super healthy. They freeze really well, you can pop them straight into the microwave from the freezer and you are good to go. They are especially good with a little fresh salsa. This recipe makes 4 large burritos.
1 onion - chopped
2 clove garlic - minced
2 cups black beans - you can probably use whatever bean you like best, but black beans are my favorite
2/3 cup water
1 TBS chili powder
3/4 tsp cumin
1 1/4 tsp mustard
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 TBS soy sauce
1 1/3 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes - I just cooked 1 large sweet potato in the microwave until it was soft and then removed the insides and mashed em together
4 (10 inch) flour tortillas
1. In a medium bowl, mash beans. This sucks I like to use a pastry cutter but a fork works too.
2. Heat oil and saute onion and garlic until soft. Stir in beans.
3. Gradually stir in the water and heat until warm
4. Remove from heat and stir in chili powder, cumin, mustard, cayenne pepper, and soy sauce.
5. Divide the bean mixture and mashed sweet potatoes evenly between the tortillas. Top with cheese and fold up tortillas.
6. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes in a oven preheated to 350 degrees.

Oh, to be sure there is Ithaca with its amazing gorges. That is a location worth hauling your camera equipment out for. Too, there is Letchworth State Park.

Still, I have always admired Scott because he religiously updates his blog at least once a week and has created a substantial online community. You can find his blog here at stphoto.wordpress.com. This month Scott has posted an assignment. He has asked everyone to post three favorite photographs (ones that they have taken) from 2011.

A warning is being issued to holidaymakers after fake websites emerged this month using pictures from legitimate villa companies.
Customers booking holidays are being urged to be aware of such scams.
See also: The best beach holidays for 2017
See also: The cheapest holiday destinations 2017
Two fake villa booking websites are fleecing unsuspecting holidaymakers out of significant sums of money, the boss of leading holiday booking website, Villa Plus has warned.
Consumers have been urged to be on the look-out for scam sites www.luxuryrentalsvilla.com and www.cycladesrentals.com after Villa Plus raised the alarm when they discovered their properties were being advertised on these fake web pages without the owners' knowledge or consent.
The villas are advertised with unlimited availability, cheap prices, and the only way to pay is through a wire transfer.
Last year, similar fake sites started to operate, affecting hundreds of customers across the UK. Every month holidaymakers were falling prey to cyber criminals, with some people even turning up to villas they thought they had booked, only to find they hadn't. There is real concern holidaymakers could be conned again this year as the fake sites begin to surface once more.
Nick Cooper, Founder and Co-owner of Villa Plus, told Aol Travel: "Scam websites like www.luxuryrentalsvilla.com and www.cycladesrentals.com are promoting villa rentals, where there is seemingly no intention of providing any service other than to steal customers' money and more must be done by those responsible for hosting the sites to shut them down.
"They are operating illegally, and it seems, with impunity. Our solicitors, Sherrards Solicitors LLP, have attempted to get the host of the sites in question to take action but they have unfortunately refused to do so in the absence of a Court Order.
"Some are very basic scams, others can be sophisticated, with websites having search options showing vast amounts of peak season availability, all with attractive professional looking images of villas, which have simply been copied from genuine websites.
"Once these fake websites have been discovered, it can take months for the webhosting company to shut the sites down. During this time pay per click advertising campaigns may still appear for quite a while.
"It has never been more important for the buyer to be aware when renting a villa and to take extra precautions and be super-vigilant."

Armed Forces Day is a special day to pay tribute to our men and women who serve in the United States military. It is generally celebrated on the third Saturday in May, and this year's celebration is set for May 21 from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. at the Churchill County Fairgrounds. Fallon Community Events, a Nevada non-profit organization started by Essie Burriss, whose website states they have been “actively helping our local community since 2010,” is organizing the festivities.
According to Burriss, this year's Armed Forces Day celebration is slated to be a jam-packed day of family fun and festivities, including special guest speaker US Senate candidate Captain Sam Brown (retired US Army), and Sheriff Richard Hickox who has volunteered to be in the Dunk Tank where one can have a chance at saying or singing, “I dunked the Sheriff”, a la Eric Clapton. An honor garden is planned as a memorable military tribute. Emcee and Karaoke Master Davey Munoz will keep the crowd on their feet with his DJ selections. Kids will find fun in the Kids Zone which will include a bounce house, face painting, petting zoo, and games for all ages. Grown-ups can find fun too with the poker chip run, and other motorcycle games while enjoying a pint of beer. A Corn Hole Tournament will start at 2:30 p.m., and live music is also planned by bands “korner ston,” “Beauty and the Beats,” and “Repeat Offender.”
“Last year was our first year doing this event. We were at the Convention Center, and we've outgrown that already. Moving to the fairgrounds will be great. Plenty of room, three bands, games, the petting zoo, first responders' equipment, and a car show and shine that will include race cars from Rattlesnake Raceway. We think it will be really fun, and I'm very excited,” Burriss said enthusiastically. “Armed Forces is about giving back to our military, so we've tried to pack a lot into this special day in their honor.” As a point of history, the first Armed Forces Day was celebrated on Saturday, May 20, 1950, and that proud tradition continues 72 years later.
She went on to say, “The City of Fallon has donated 850 pounds of meat that will be used to provide a free meal to the veterans, active or retired, doesn't matter. For anyone else, the cost will be $5 per person. Suzie's BBQ will be cooking all of the meat as a donation to the event, and side dishes will be donated by community organizations such as the Pennington Life Center, the Wolf Center, and the Elks. Donations will also be accepted from members of the community, all to provide each person with two side servings per plate.
Burriss said one of the planned vendors is called Bees4Vets, a Nevada non-profit organization that teaches veterans and first responders with PTSD and/or TBI about honeybee management. Their website states that beekeeping can be a beneficial therapy because it teaches mindfulness and staying in the moment. The apiaries used in their program are located in Washoe County which keeps it local.
Fallon Community Events also hosts the Fallon Lights of Christmas Family Festival and Tree Auction in December, and the Christmas in July Craft Fair. Burriss said that in the short term, funds raised go toward things for veterans and seniors such as paying for their utilities, bringing them bottled water in the summertime, and other forms of assistance. However, their long-term plan is to build a tiny homes and campsites community for veterans and seniors as an affordable housing option.
Burriss said the Fallon Community Events board is comprised of six people: herself, Pat Avery, Kevin Bowles, Serena Whisenhunt, Alison Fenimore, and Howard Fenimore. She said of her board's involvement, “They all help out with our events. We have one lady that makes jams and jellies which go out in the fall and winter with the Meals on Wheels deliveries.”

Andy Murray has promised to pull out of the Australian Open if wife Kim goes into labour, even if that means withdrawing between the semi-final and final.
The world number two and his partner are expecting their first child in February as Murray heads into the first major of 2016 at Melbourne Park.
Murray has previously promised to return home if Kim goes into labour, regardless of his progression in the tournament, and the Scot reiterated his stance in a media conference on Saturday.
When asked if he would still withdraw between the semi-final and final, Murray replied: "The same thing would happen. For me, my child and my wife are more important to me than a tennis match.
"I've never been in this position before so it's something new for me to deal with and handle. It's something to learn from but when I'm on the practice court I'm very focused.
"When I've been training it's not distracted that side of things, when you're away from the court it's a bit different."
Murray, a four-time runner-up at the Australian Open, begins his 2016 campaign against German teenager Alexander Zverev, the world number 83 whom the Scot comfortably defeated at the Hopman Cup earlier this month.
"I know him reasonably well, I practiced with him a couple of years ago," Murray said. "I've seen him play a few matches since then and getting to play him a couple of weeks ago was good.
"He's a big guy for his age, which has benefits and at the age he's at just now can cause a few issues as well until you fill out into your physique.
"He's got a very good game, he serves well and for a big guy he moves pretty well. He's obviously improving all the time, he finished last year well and made the semis in Stockholm and it'll be a tough match."

Creating an annotated bibliography can be a daunting and intimidating task, especially if you're unfamiliar with the process.
Unsure of how to properly structure your annotated bibliography? Concerned that you won't accurately cite all sources?
Have no fear! Our comprehensive guide to writing an annotated bibliography will take you through the entire process step-by-step.
We'll cover everything from selecting the proper annotated bibliography format to assembling a comprehensive list of sources. We’ll also teach you how to write the annotation for each source.
By the end of this guide, you'll be an expert in creating an annotated bibliography that meets all your research needs!
Let's get started.
On this Page
According to the annotated bibliography definition, it is a list of sources such as books, articles, websites, and other materials used in research.
These sources include a brief descriptive paragraph or annotation about each source.
Annotations generally discuss:
An annotated bibliography allows readers to quickly assess the value of a particular source for their research projects.
Annotated bibliographies are typically formatted according to style guidelines such as MLA, APA, or Chicago Manual of Style.
Annotations provide readers with a summary of each source and explain why the source is important to your research.
In short, annotated bibliographies provide readers with an understanding of how you conducted research. It tells them why certain sources were chosen for your project.

When writing an Annotated Bibliography, it's important to understand the differences between an abstract, annotation, and literature review.
Let's look at each of these terms:
An abstract is a summary of the main points of a source. It is usually no longer than 250 words.
An annotation is a brief description and evaluation of the source that goes beyond an abstract, typically between 150-400 words.
A literature review overviews published scholarly material on a particular topic. It typically includes an annotated bibliography but can also include other resources such as books and articles.
Now you understand the difference between an annotated bibliography, an abstract, and a literature review.
Let's take a look at how to create one step-by-step.
The first step is to analyze the sources you are using. Ask yourself questions about
This would help you gain insight into what the author was trying to say and why they chose the particular words they did.
Additionally, make sure that the sources you use are relevant and authoritative. Relevant sources will help support your argument, while authoritative sources will provide credibility to your work.
Once you have analyzed the source material, it's time to create your annotation.
Let’s look at types of annotations and how they can enhance your reading experience.
When creating descriptive annotations, include basic details. Add information about the author, such as their credentials or any related publications they may have written.
Indicative annotations focus on understanding key terms or concepts within the text that may be unfamiliar to you. These will be your indicators for further exploration when revisiting the material later.
These annotations provide a brief overview of each page or chapter to help you recall important details quickly.
It should be concise yet informative enough that it captures all of the most important points from the text.
Evaluation annotation allows you to assess whether or not you agree with something in the text from your perspective.
It gives you an opportunity to record your thoughts on what has been said and express your opinion on it.
This type of annotation combines two or more types of annotations into one note. In this way, it covers all aspects of what has been said.
This can be particularly useful if you want to remember something in depth. This will not take up too much space on paper or screen real estate while writing digital notes.
When annotating a text, it’s best practice to use abbreviations wherever possible. These citation styles do not occupy too much space on paper or screen when writing notes.
Additionally, consider using symbols such as:

Finally, once you have created your annotations for each source material, it's time to format them properly. You can use any annotated bibliography format, including APA annotation, MLA annotation, etc.
Make sure each annotation begins on its line with no extra spaces between them. This will make them easier to read and understand at a glance.
Annotated bibliography samples can help you better understand the annotated bibliography format.

Ontiveros, Randy J. In the Spirit of a New People: The Cultural Politics of the Chicano Movement. New York UP, 2014.
Through examining journalism, visual arts, theater, and novels produced within the Chicano movement from 1960 to now, this book exposes how these expressions encapsulate individual and collective values. Chapter 3 of this book shows how the theater El Teatro Campesino connected with labor and immigrant organizing in that era, while Chapter 4 examines Sandra Cisneros' work Caramelo within the context of Chicana feminists fighting to be recognized by both traditional and nationalist elements of the Chicano movement. Ontiveros' work offers an enlightening yet compelling historical backdrop for the literary and political works of the movement.

Spoken word poetry is a genre that stands out from the rest; it was written to be captivatingly performed in front of an audience by its creator. From the interviews of ten poets conducted by these authors, it is obvious that a symbiotic relationship between poet and audience is born from the performance aspect of poetry.
To cultivate a sense of community, spoken word poets strive to make their metaphors and diction both simple and relatable. A true richness of experience is created when intertwined stories form a powerful, emotive account that resonates with individuals and communities. By delving into the thoughts of poets, we can better appreciate their recorded performances.

Through a comprehensive analysis of Chicano literature, this book examines journalism, visual arts, theater, and novels from 1960 to the present day as expressions of individual and collective values. In Chapter 3, El Teatro Campesino is portrayed against the backdrop of labor and immigrant activism during that era. Additionally, Sandra Cisneros's novel Caramelo highlights Chicana feminists' attempts to be heard amidst traditionalism and nationalism in the Chicano movement, which is examined further in Chapter 4.

Spoken word poetry is incomparable to any other art form, as it is designed to be recited and performed in front of a live audience by the poet. These authors had the chance to converse with ten poets who spoke about the special bond forged when they perform in front of an audience, a mutual link between them and those watching. To foster a sense of unity among their audience, spoken word poets use straightforward metaphors and diction that can be easily understood by all. Achieving richness is created when disparate stories come together to form meaningful narratives that evoke emotion and address personal and collective concerns. By gaining insight into a poet's objectives, we can gain an appreciation for their live performances.

Ontiveros, R. J. (2014). In the spirit of a new people: The cultural politics of the Chicano movement. New York University Press.
According to Ontiveros, the Chicano movement can be articulated through art in a way that avoids neoliberalism and links past struggles with present realities. Since the 1970s, Chicano artists have seamlessly intertwined environmentalism and feminism with their movement through print media, visual arts, theater performances, and novels. This book not only emphasizes art but also showcases an illuminating account of the coalition politics that connect Chicano activism to other movements for social justice.

The evidence is clear: narrative writing has a remarkable ability to assist individuals in understanding and coming to terms with trauma. Through Grounded Theory, this article examines semi-structured interviews from a pool of ten spoken-word poets to gain deeper insight. Not only does spoken word poetry offer emotional resolution through the act of writing, but its live performances create meaningful and lasting connections that further strengthen its power. The findings of this study are limited by the narrowly-defined, nonrandom sample that all came from the same community.

Kohen examines how different groups have used their power to shape the city, as well as how race and class have impacted the development of different neighborhoods. Kohen uses a wide range of primary sources, including newspaper articles, oral histories, government documents, and archival records. This book provides an invaluable resource for understanding the history of Chicago's racial and economic divides.

Provide background information on the research subject matter.
Show readers where additional information can be located.
The length of an annotated bibliography usually is 150-400 words. It also depends on the specific requirements given by your instructor or professor.

The night-time flight high over a cityscape has become something of a thriller cliche, but just imagine how much of a surprise it would be to viewers if you then flew into a boathouse or under a bridge as they do in this video. The quadcopter could allow directors to plan more surprisingly intimate aerial shots. If they haven’t been used in a full length film yet it can’t be long.
A bunch of remote controlled plane enthusiasts calling themselves Team Black Sheep shot some great aerial footage of New York. These are the sorts of views we mere mortals would have to steal a helicopter in GTA IV to see. Whatever it is that’s blocking the bottom right of the camera’s view is a bit distracting, but otherwise this is awesome footage.
Can I have one of these to fly around the Lakes when I’m at home some time? Wasdale comes to mind first, but there are a load of other neat valleys I could take it through.
Airship.org was set up in 1987 to promote vertical airships as the future of air transport. Tall airships, they claim, are easier to construct, more efficient load carriers and more nimble in the urban environment than their cigar shaped forebears. The description of them having “interesting aerodynamic characteristics” could be read in a number of ways though.
The Airship.org site has specs for several proposed designs and you can download a model of one of their ships to fly in Microsoft Flight Simulator.

The job of the nurse used to one of caring for the sick and needy. But not – it would seem – in today’s politically-correct Britain. Now, nurses are being encouraged to spend valuable time turning around the beds of Muslim patients up to five times a day – so they can face Mecca.
You would be forgiven for thinking that the above headline is referring to a country in the Middle East, or at least some predominately Muslim country, but no, once again this is about Britain. Muslims in the UK account for less than 3% of the population, yet seem to be pandered to more than any other section of society.
Muslims do have to pray five times a day, but most do not. Even those that are very devout and pray five times every day are allowed to miss prayers in special circumstances, such as when involved in war, when working or when in hospital. This doesn’t happen in the Middle East, the nurses there do not move all the beds around five times a day, yet in Britain this seems perfectly acceptable. Britain is not a Muslim country, in fact 97% of the population consider themselves non Muslim but you wouldn’t believe it with the amount of barmy legislation going around.
The NHS already wastes millions each year on translators and making sure that signs are in all languages possible. This doesn’t happen in France or Germany or Spain. Only Britain, where 90% of the population speak English as a first language and 99% speak it fluently, has signs in several languages, just to make other cultures feel welcome.
Besides nurses have enough to do. As anyone who has spent time in any hospital will tell you, they are over stretched, under resourced and overworked. They don’t have time to dispense medication in a timely manner or turn patients over to avoid bed sores as often as they should. Yet now they are expected to ‘better understand the Muslim faith’ by moving beds around to face Mecca, 5 times a day!
It is time the Muslims, and other cultures, in the UK learned that this is a democracy, ergo majority rule. Once you start pandering to the minorities it stops being a democracy and becomes a oligarchy.

Most people have strong feelings about what they wear in public. However, have you ever considered what you would want your avatar to wear in the metaverse? ANKH is a new generation fashion brand that is revolutionizing the way we think about fashion and bringing it into the digital world.
ANKH works to create clothing items to be worn in a digital environment. Their collections will create a new sphere where our cyber clothing and accessories will help cultivate our virtual identities and self-expressions. "There's nothing more personal than what you wear," said ANKH Fashion Designer Arthur Morisset. "It's the best way to show people who you are from just one glance, and we want that interaction to happen in the metaverse, too." In the past, the fashion world has been hesitant to embrace technology. However, digital options have been evolving in traditional fashion, from virtual fashion shows to 3D models to simulated fitting rooms. ANKH is working to build off of this and establish themselves as a trusted fashion brand. Their first drop is titled "Genesis," a selection of 15 eclectic menswear and unisex silhousttes that experiment with dystopian shapes and incorporate styles from the 70s to Y2K. "Our clothing will be like no one has ever seen before," said ANKH's strategy and marketing officer Valentin Menard. "It will change the face of fashion, both online and in the real world."
Once you buy a clothing item from ANKH, you're accepted into a community that has a variety of perks. The company plans to work with real-life fashion designers to create exclusive collections that can be worn in the real world.

In a couple of days it will be Dhanteras, followed by Diwali, sparking buying in Gold. The yellow metal has been a stellar performer among asset classes since the beginning of the year and has returned over 20 per cent since January 1.
In a couple of days it will be Dhanteras, followed by Diwali, sparking buying in Gold. The yellow metal has been a stellar performer among asset classes since the beginning of the year and has returned over 20 per cent since January 1. If you are considering buying gold as an investment, is this a good time to lock your investments in the metal?
Market experts believe that those who are looking to invest in gold should go ahead with their investment. It could, in fact, work as a year systematic investment plan (SIP) around these festivals.
- Gold price today, 14 May, 2021: Gains 2% from Akshaya Tritiya 2020 to this year; why you should buy
- Akshaya Tritiya: Good time to buy gold on recent fall in prices; strong support at Rs 45,500 per 10 gm
- Buying gold on Akshaya Tritiya; charts suggest gold prices may hit Rs 63,600 by yr-end: Rajesh Palviya
“Buying on Dhanteras for a large number of Indians is actually like an SIP (systematic investment plan) and, therefore, we would suggest that this is a good time to invest in gold,” Vijay Jain, CEO and Director, ORRA, a leading jewellery outfit, told FeMoney.
Jain says that in addition to being an auspicious occasion, independent of whether you are a jewellery buyer or a bullion buyer, the choice and variety is really large. “Gold, in fact, has been growing over the last 15 years. The increase in gold prices has been over 13%+ per annum in the last 15 years,” Jain pointed out.
Jain said going forward he feels gold prices would be on an upmove. “The first half of the year has seen a surge in pricing and this has largely been driven by significant growth in ETF’s, while the demand for gold in jewellery has been slow. We believe going forward over the next 12 months, demand for gold jewellery will improve specially in countries like India on the back of a good monsoon,” he said.
At the beginning of 2016, gold price in the domestic market stood at around Rs 25,070 per 10 gram, while it closed at Rs 30205 per 10 grams on October 25, as per India Bullion and Jewellers’ Association (IBJA) figures.
Saurabh Gadgil, CMD PNG Jewellers & Director IBJA, agrees with Jain on gold maintaining it upmove. “Gold seems to be picking up considering various political situations across the globe, need-based buying is on the rise as the festive season is approaching.
Dhanteras and Diwali are considered auspicious days to buy gold. It also marks the commencement of the long bridal season, customer’s place their order well in advance and get it delivered on Dhanteras or Diwali as per their requirements,” he said.

I've been interested in aquaponics for a while, but only recently decided to take the plunge. I look forward to sharing information with you all.
I grew up gardening but haven't done any in a very long time.
Aquaponics is interesting because of the low(er)-labor, no-dirt self-contained system.

Ringer's solution with lactate pH 8.4 is therapeutically useless in treating endotoxin poisoning (see Table 15). Actually, loading the animals with the Ringer's solution with lactate solution, six hours before the endotoxin was given, increased the lethality of endotoxin.
However, note the effect of an agent, nicotinamide, that has been shown not to affect the mortality from hemorrhagic, burn, or crush shock, upon the lethality of endotoxin.
Adult Sprague Dawley rats (weight 150-300 gm) were anesthetized lightly with ether. Endotoxin (Bacto-Lipopolysaccharide Escherichia coli 0111:B4) (2 mg/ml of saline) was injected into a tail vein of the rats in varying amounts until an approximate median lethal dose was established (10 mg/kg, body weight). Thirty-six rats were given Locke's solution intraperitoneally in volumes equal to 20% of body weight. Endotoxin (10 mg/kg, body weight) was injected intravenously immediately after the intraperitoneal loading of the saline into 21 rats and six hours after

Georges Duroy (Robert Pattinson) is a peasant. Finding himself in Paris, he’s taken under the wing of old friend Charles Forestier (Philip Glenister), who lands him employment as a political writer and introduces him to three high society ladies: his wife Madeleine Forestier (Uma Thurman), Virginie Walters (Kristen Scott Thomas) and Clotilde De Marelle (Christina Ricci). Through means of seduction, betrayal and deception, Georges slowly rises from poverty to wealth, but it all comes at a price.
The concept of one man’s elevation to wealth and power through any means necessary is a fascinating one, and, perhaps with a screenwriter more attuned Continue reading →
Following the overwhelming success of his feature film debut Sin Nombre in 2009, Cary Fukunaga returns with a towering adaptation of Charlotte Brontë’s literary classic Jane Eyre.

Latin name: Apis (Honey bee)
What is Honey?
A natural sweetener akin to white sugar, honey is a sweet food made by bees using nectar from flowers. Honeybees collect nectar from flowers in their mouths, which mix with enzymes in the bees’ saliva, a process that turns the nectar into honey. The bees return to their hives and store the honey in wax honeycombs. The specific composition of any batch of honey depends on the flowers available to the bees, and like most foods, the health benefits of honey depend on the source quality.
Honey has been used for healing and culinary purposes since ancient times. A cave painting in Valencia, Spain, suggests that humans have been collecting honey for at least 10,000 years. For thousands of years, honey was reserved only for the wealthy, as it was so expensive. Eventually, honey was displaced in cooking by refined sugar from sugar cane and sugar beets, which was an inexpensive alternative.
What are the health benefits of Honey?
In traditional Chinese medicine, honey is considered neutral in nature, unless heated, and then it is warming; honey is used to lubricate dryness, counteract weakness, alleviate constipation, and clear toxins.
Known to be antiseptic and antibacterial, honey has been used topically as an antiseptic agent in the treatment of wounds for centuries. Studies have found that dressing a burn or wound in honey-soaked gauze works more effectively than many conventional treatments. As a folk remedy, honey has been taken for stomach ulcers and heartburn, and Western research indicates that it may stop the growth of H. pylori, the bacteria responsible for most gastric ulcers. The caffeic acid in honey may prevent colon cancer.
Honey has also been used for centuries as a treatment for sore throats and coughs, and according to recent research, may actually be as effective as many common cough medicines. Unfiltered, pasteurized honey is widely believed to alleviate allergies, but thus far studies have not confirmed this. In many experiments involving people with either high cholesterol or type 2 diabetes, honey has proved itself the healthiest sweetener.
More information about the healing powers of Bee Pollen, Bee Propolis, and Royal Jelly can be found in the Supplements section.
Are there any precautions for Honey?
Never give honey to a child under one year of age because raw honey can harbor botulism spores.
Where can I find Honey?
Honey can be found in grocery stores and many outdoor markets; it is available year-round but is at its freshest summer through autumn.

Three days later, he pleaded guilty to the 15-year-old crime and he received a one-year sentence with credit for the seven years he served at Dixon Correctional Institute for a different crime.
The lawsuit states Grant should have been set free because his time was served. Criminal District Judge Camille Buras, who sentenced him to the time already served, even contacted the sheriff’s office and requested they expedite Grant’s release.
Regardless of already serving his time and a judge’s request to expedite his release, Grant was held at the Orleans Parish Prison for a week and a half before being sent to the privately run Madison Parish Correctional Center in Tallulah.
On July 15, 2016, Buras was told by Grant’s friend Alred Marshall that Grant was still imprisoned. Buras then called Gusman and Warden Chris Stinson, and she vacated Grant’s sentence on July 18.
A week later, on July 25, Buras emailed 2 Department of Corrections employees to ask why Grant was still being held.
Grant was finally released on July 27, 2016.
Grant’s attorney, William Most, said, “Mr. Grant is fighting to hold the Sheriff and the DOC accountable for imprisoning hundreds or thousands of people past the end of their court-ordered sentences. Judge Brown’s decision ensures that Mr. Grant will have his day in court.”


Hon Penn made the call at the Eleventh Sitting of the Third Session of the Fourth House of Assembly on August 19, 2021, when he said that innovation doesn’t necessarily mean technology, rather, bringing greater efficiency to the sector.
“One of the things that we've continued to see and realise, is that we need to for us and how can we be more innovative in the way that we operate as a territory in the business sector,” he said.
To illustrate innovation during the debates of the Virgin Islands Investment Act 2020, the Opposition Leader used the example of a modern pen with the ink integrated into the stylus, as compared to the feather pen used in the past.
“And innovation in itself doesn't necessarily mean technology, innovation means creating an easier, more efficient way of doing a particular act or particular process and I believe that the intent of this suite of legislation is to spark that whole innovative mindset within this territory,” he said.
“We have to start the look at different ways to… strengthen, create more efficiencies in our current economic systems and also create more economic opportunities within the things that are known to us, the areas that we do well, but we could do even better with some thought pattern into those things,” he said.
Hon Penn called for the development of an innovation lab that can create an environment where persons who are naturally gifted can foster innovative thinking and ideas.
“Put those individuals in a room to be able to look at some of the complex problems that we face as a territory, find ways where there's certain things that we could use and deploy in the national interests,” he said.
Hon Penn called for innovation on a national level, that transcends political persuasion and what is perceived as good or not good and who should be doing it.
“There needs to be a series of things in this territory that is beyond the scope of politics, that is a focus for the improvement of the standard of living for people in our territory,” he said.
Hon Penn continued, “I believe that business development, instilling and continue to cultivate entrepreneurship and our culture of entrepreneurship that we have as a territory [and] as a people it is something that we need to continue to look at,” he said.
This he said will ensure that the fire for entrepreneurship does not burn out and the local legacy businesses continue to thrive with resources and support.

The mighty 62 metre motor yacht Sea Owl, listed for sale by Kevin Merrigan and Wes Sanford at Northrop & Johnson, has received a price drop of $10,603,375.
Designer Andrew Winch took full advantage of her exceptionally high-volume interior to produce family-friendly spaces accommodating 14 guests in seven cabins comprising a master suite, three VIP suites, two children’s twins and a nanny/staff cabin. All guest cabins have en suite bathroom facilities while the crew quarters sleep 18 staff aboard this yacht for sale.
The comfortable full-beam main saloon is decorated in light, neutral colours and features sumptuous furnishings. Flanked by windows and featuring fully opening sliding glass doors aft, natural light floods the space and offers guests impressive views. Her dining area features a large round dining table that sits under a stunning Dale Chihuly Venetian glass chandelier with a muraled backdrop.
She is a portal to a different world of an enchanted interior, where children learn as they play and adults can enjoy family time, work or relax miles away from land. On the lower deck is a delightful pirate-themed room; next to this is one of the daughters’ cabins with scenes from Alice in Wonderland. On the sun deck, a toothy shark grins on the walls of the freshwater spa pool.
A detailed description of this interior would fill a book, but a few details are enough to illustrate the yacht’s spirit. The central stairway features a mural, carved from Peruvian mahogany, of a magical tree rising four decks high in one continuous design, the roots grounded in the lower deck’s sole and branches reaching the sun deck.
Her top speed is 16.3 knots and she boasts a maximum cruising range of 5,700 nautical miles at 12 knots with power coming from two 2,038hp MTU 16V4000M53R diesel engines.
Sea Owl is now asking $90,000,000.

Drystock farmers are reluctant to enter farm partnerships with dairy farmers because of the fear of being 'taken over' by their partners, according to a new research.
The report, commissioned by the National Rural Network, is due to be published within the next fortnight.
It highlights a series of policy issues that have so far prevented farm partnerships from becoming popular in the drystock sector.
Report author Dr Pat Bogue said one of the reasons cattle farmers were reluctant to enter partnerships with dairy farmers was that they feared losing their own identity in the partnership business.
However, Gerry Gunning, executive secretary of the IFA's rural development committee, said there were a number of other reasons why partnerships had not developed in the drystock sector.
"There are some provisions made for milk production partnerships (MPPs) that are not available to farmers in other types of enterprises," he said.
"For example, two farmers in an MPP can draw down double the individual allowance under the Dairy Equipment Scheme but the same provision is not available to drystock farmers in the sheep fencing grants."
He added that setting up partnerships other than MPPs would also affect Disadvantaged Area Scheme payments and REPS payments to the farmers concerned.
Hopes of increasing the number of non-dairy partnerships were dashed earlier this year when it emerged that additional stock relief allowances announced in the December Budget were limited only to MPPs.
An IFA delegation is due to meet with Department of Agriculture officials in the next week to highlight the discrepancies between MPPs and other farm partnerships.

CHICAGO (Reuters) – Illinois has won some breathing room from Deutsche Bank <DBKGn.DE> regarding the potential termination of an interest rate swap agreement that could cost the cash-strapped state nearly $99.2 million, according to a state document released late on Monday.
In a supplement to the prospectus for its Thursday sale of $550 million of general obligation bonds, Illinois said the bank has agreed to lower the credit rating threshold that would trigger the swap deal’s termination.
As the state’s ratings inch toward “junk” on the credit scale, the renegotiated Deutsche Bank swap would terminate if Illinois’ rating were to fall below BB-plus with Standard & Poor’s or Ba1 with Moody’s Investors Service.
The state has swap deals with four other banks with termination triggers at the original levels of below BBB with S&P and below Baa2 with Moody’s, at a potential cost to the state of nearly $60 million.
Those swap counterparties are AIG Financial Products Corp, Bank of America, Merrill Lynch Capital Markets, and JP Morgan Chase.
Last week Moody’s dropped Illinois’ rating to Baa2, just two steps above “junk,” while S&P cut it to BBB-plus. The credit rating agencies cited the nearly year-long political impasse, which has left the fifth-largest U.S. state without a fiscal 2016 budget and strained finances.
Over the past two months, Illinois hired consultants at a two-year cost of $525,000 to reduce the state’s exposure to potentially costly bond-related agreements with banks related to $600 million of variable-rate bonds the state issued in 2003.
Illinois also faces the expiration of six bank direct-pay letters of credit backing the variable-rate bonds on Nov. 26. If the facilities are not renewed by the current banks or replaced by other banks, the state could be forced to pay off some or all of the bonds before their 2033 maturity.
The letters of credit are from JP Morgan Chase Bank, PNC Bank, Wells Fargo Bank, State Street Bank and Trust Company, Royal Bank of Canada, and The Northern Trust Company.
Republican Governor Bruce Rauner, meanwhile, said on Tuesday he was uncertain how a nearly year-long budget impasse would impact Thursday’s bond sale but insisted bond buyers are backing his effort to tie his union-weakening, business-friendly agenda to passage of a budget.
“The reforms we’re advocating are supported by investors, and they believe in our administration and the potential future for Illinois,” he told reporters.
