Things to Keep into Consideration before Purchasing Lithium Batteries
With the world going all-digital, lithium batteries are now more common among people. Lithium batteries are popularly used in mobile phones, watches and electric vehicles. When you purchase a good battery; it is a long-term investment as it lowers additional expenses such as maintenance and repair costs. First-timers might experience challenges when selecting the ideal lithium batteries. If you are looking for lithium batteries, check out the tips that you can use to find the best.
An essential factor you must take into account when buying lithium battery is its longevity. You must evaluate the durability of the battery. Besides, you should also analyze the susceptibility of the battery to external factors. It will be pointless to purchase a battery that can not resist harsh conditions. If you are looking for a durable battery; you will have to dig deeper into your pocket. You should not be stressed about the higher costs because you will save money from future replacement which can be more expensive. When you buy the leading lithium batteries; you will get exceptional outcomes.
You need to take into account the efficiency of your lithium battery before purchasing it. Consider looking at the capacity of the word according to where it will be utilized. If you look at the capacity required by an electric vehicle to that of a mobile phone; an electric car will require the most capacity. Apart from that, the buyer was positive about the battery loses charge until it is almost empty. If the battery can preserve energy for a long duration, then it is the best choice.
You also need to consider the charging of the battery. A battery that keeps charge for a long duration is of top-notch quality. You require a battery that can hold charge for a more extended period. As you look at the charging, you must also think about the source of power supply. Any battery that discharges faster tends to be more costly eventually. Establish whether the power supply is readily available in that when the battery is empty, it can be recharged easily. Power is not cheap, and when you charge regularly, you consume a lot of power, and this brings about an increase in expenditure.
When purchasing the lithium battery, you should consider its maintenance and disposal. Abattery that is cheaper to maintain is the best. When the lithium battery has minimal maintenance costs, it means that the overall costs will be reduced. Ensure that when you are getting rid of the lithium battery, you do it in a way that does not harm the environment. One should be knowledgeable on discarding the battery supposed it has toxic chemicals to the surrounding.


All self-identified black femmes and those who love them are invited to attend a special film screening from 5 to 8 pm on Sunday, January 20th at the Creative Alliance (3134 Eastern Avenue, Baltimore). “Taste Test” will be an evening of short films created by and for black femmes. The evening is a precursor, an appetizer if you will, to the main event: the opening of submissions to the second annual Black Femme Supremacy Film Fest in 2019. They imagine the black femme as a global protagonist, and universal archetype.
“The Black Femme Supremacy Film Fest is for black femme filmmakers who are routinely ignored or systemically shut out by larger film festivals,” said festival organizer Nia Hampton. “It started out as a way for me to share the space I held at Waller Gallery during my first solo show, ‘Drapetomania: The Strong Urge to Escape’ and grew into something that allows black femme identifying people to truly see themselves as filmmakers, despite how hard that career path actually is.”
Hampton’s experiences with other film festivals left her feeling that there wasn’t a place for voices like hers. “I spent most of my early 20s traveling throughout South America and connecting with really determined Afro-Latino feminists and artists who weren’t waiting to be given permission to make their films or screen them. When I’d come home, I’d spend weekends volunteering at varying film festivals and seeing how each one had its own culture. Non-black film festivals were just unbearably white, black film festivals weren’t queer enough, and gay film festivals seemed to have a blind spot when it came to lesbian- and bisexual-focused films. The Black Femme Supremacy Film Fest is an answer to all of those problems.”
Tickets purchased in advance are $7 for Creative Alliance members, $10 for non-members. Tickets are available at Bit.ly/2s0BXFL. Tickets are an additional $3 if purchased at the door.
Two of the featured films are Metamorphosis (2018), by director Natalie J. Harris, in which a “queer and inexperienced girl seeks guidance after a game of ‘Never Have I Ever’”; and Fists Up! Fight Back! (2015), by director Jihan HafIz (2015), with the tagline, “Nothing in this world can prepare you to bury a child.”
The festival is still looking for vendors and sponsors. Send vendor and sponsorship inquiries to firstname.lastname@example.org. Follow the festival on Instagram @bfsfilmfest and like them on Facebook at @blackfemmesupremacyfilmfest.

Checked out my favorite book from the library. It's going to be so different to read it now... But I think, it will be just as moving as before, if not more. This is what I need right now ❤ If you don't know who I am by now, all you need to do is read the back. It will explain everything... "But with her unexpected softening comes overwhelming feelings of unworthiness and fear. And so Angel runs. Back to the darkness, away from her husband's pursuing love, terrified of the truth she can no longer deny: her final healing must come from the One who loves her even more than Michael does... The One who will never let her go." #bookofhosea #bestbookever #myfavoritenovel #redeeminglove #francinerivers #myfavoritebook

Today I finished rereading my favorite book (for the third time). There are few books that I can read and reread and still laugh and cry every time. Women of all ages, young, old, or somewhere between...please do yourself a favor and get this book. You won't regret it. Thank you Francine Rivers for weaving together such a beautiful, tangible picture of the book of Hosea and ultimately of God's love for us. #RedeemingLove
leianne7 : YES!! That is my all time favorite book too, could read it 100 times & not get sick of it!! Yay for some Francine Rivers reading! Have you read "Her Mother's Hope" & "Her Daughter's dream"?? If not, you MUST!!! Can.not.put.them.down. Also her "Rising of the dawn" series is insanely good! (I think that's the name of them, or at least it's one of the titles! It's based back in the Roman Empire times when they had slave women in the homes, ahhhh I just love her writing! Now I've got to read them all again, & Redeeming love will be the first!! @sydnichambers
leianne7 : Oh yes, Mark of the Lion is the name of the series, just read the above comment!
leianne7 : @michellejoyhair those are my favs too! I just love her PERIOD!!
sydnichambers : Haha she's the best! I haven't heard of those two but I'm adding them to the list!! I'm so excited because I've wanted new books to read and I know if It's by Francine and coming so highly recommended by you @leianne7, then I will love it!

Today I play chauffeur, which means lots of waiting and reading. But I don't mind. I come from a long line of gifted waiters. For some reason this Christmas I really wanted to re-read Redeeming Love. I used to h a t e this book. I started reading the prologue in college, and I was like "yeeeeeah no." Then someone I really respected told me she knew of a book that was just incredible and *completely* changed the way she looked at her relationship with Jesus. She didn't tell me the title, so when I received it in the mail from her I was floored. Trusting her, I read it. And it rocked my world. Who knew Christian romance could be so moving? That's probably only because it's about a love far greater than the love between man and woman. So---this Christmas season, look out for the lady reading a worn paperback, crying on benches. She's totally fine, but feel free to pass her a tissue. #redeeminglove #francinerivers
mrs.lauren.dean : ❤ that book. I've read it several times and you may have inspired me to read it again too
christychase55 : Cried BOTH times I read it. Eye opening.
rosewheat : @christychase55 I know! I feel this book should come with Kleenex coupons.

“Look, I am making everything new!” And then he said to me, “Write this down, for what I tell you is trustworthy and true.” Rev 21:5 (NLT) Redeeming Love – Part 5 Have you ever tried to make something that has been used, scratched, worn out… brand new? Ever dropped a brand new phone to have it smash on the concrete? (ouch). A few weeks ago I put my earphones through the washing machine (accidentally). They came out like ringlet hair and they’ll never be nice and smooth again. Try as we may, once something has been used, broken, damaged, or just worn from living, we can never make it brand new again. Like my earphones, sometimes I feel like life puts me through the ‘washing machine,’ I come out curly and bent… longing for ‘newness,’ a clean slate. Baby soft skin wrapped in innocence. Some days I wish I could start again, reset, rewind, forget, begin anew, swap my heart for another… God lives above and beyond the realms of new and old. He created us from nothing, wove us together in our mother’s wombs. As we become aware and responsive to His love, He calls us His own, giving us a new name, rewriting our lineage and future. And what has been used, abused, worn out and lived long, He can, and will, cause them to be not repaired or fixed, but made new. Clean. Whole. Innocent but wise. Fresh but grounded. He doesn’t do this with a secret catch, He’s not manipulating us for His own selfish gain, or buying our loyalty to fund His ventures… He does this, makes us new now and in the age to come, because of His great love that drives everything He is and does. God knows what’s going on in this world, He can see it and feel it within our own lives. He understands the afflictions we face. He gets it. He’s not offended, or disgusted by us, but He longs to work His love in our used up lives to bring refreshing and renewal to our souls and those around us – a miracle – today, tomorrow, and in eternity. His redeeming love doesn’t just patch us up, or rinse us off, but miraculously brings ‘new’ to our worn-out hearts and lives. Let go of your fears and inhibitions and allow this love, this Redeeming Saviour to work His newness in you. by @lizzmilani
ciera_isaman : Papa, please forgive me. I feel like I am going down the wrong path. Please pick me up and put me on Your path. I want to praise You and love You like never before. Please help me have a burning passion for You. I love You. In Jesus' Name, amen❤

I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners. Isa 57:18 (KJV) Redeeming Love – Part 4 Mourning and grief… what can I say? It’s a challenging topic to cover. Let me give you some insight into my own dysfunction. My mind works on very narrow and straight paths. I like order and the opposite frustrates me. I think carefully about most things and often consider the outcome or many different options before investing any time, money or energy in whatever I approach. Good or bad. Even towards death, I can tend to have a logical and cold approach to its inevitability. Managing my emotions via reason. “We all die and there’s no escaping it!” is my familiar motto. “Better off reconciling rather than running from those facts that can not be altered” I can hear my head say. But even with this not-so-warm approach I find that it doesn’t dull the sting and pain of severed relationship that death or loss causes. No matter how much logic and rationale I apply to it, the emotional ties seem to supersede and grief still infiltrates my emotions like a sneaky enemy trying to take down a fortified castle. None of us can really escape the pang of grief when it comes to loss of any kind, however, there is One who redeems and comforts us in the face of it. Whether you’ve lost a loved one to death or divorce, a business to bankruptcy or your innocence to abuse, God’s promise is to heal, lead and comfort you. Our challenge is to expose our raw emotions, our pain and hurts, to His love. That’s why Proverbs 3 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding” because your raw and aching heart wants to protect itself, not expose itself. But like exposing a fresh burn to running cool water, trusting your wounded emotions to God will refresh them and give you new hope. None of us is exempt from grief in this life, but we have free access to His treasury, fully stocked with hope, overflowing with faith and crammed tight with love. His love will redeem and comfort you. by @jessemilani

With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs. Zeph 3:17 (NLT) Redeeming Love – Part 3 Verse 17 of Zephaniah 3 is well-known mainly for the line that says “He is a mighty saviour.” I really love the way the NLT puts this verse and there’s one part that really grabbed me as I re-read it. “With His love, He will calm all your fears.” In this world, we look to many different things to calm our fears and anxieties. In psychology, these are called coping mechanisms and they help us deal with piecing the world together as we see it, with some kind of logic and sense. The truth is there’s an incredible amount of information available to us in any given moment so the very nature of life is overwhelming. It’s like trying to catch a tsunami in a tea cup. Job, kids, mortgage, relationships, friends, romance, food (just trying to eat healthy is hard enough!), exercise, school, family, extended family, politics, servicing the car, balancing the budget, doctor’s appointment, dentist checkup, sports, cleaning the house, washing the car, mowing the lawns, picking up the dry cleaning, coffee with friends, visiting relatives, annual vacations, school fees, uniforms, health insurance, new socks… you get it! Then there’s managing everything in between these things! The politics of particular family dynamics, or certain friendships. Who is dairy intolerant? Which one has a nut allergy? Oh and Sally hates broccoli… Work colleagues and teammates that aren’t actually…well you know, mates. Then there’s the government and the decisions they’re making. And what about those tensions in overseas countries? The children that are suffering in the third world. Not to forget the homeless kids just around the corner or the neighbours that get drunk and fight every other night. OK, now try and fit some time with God in there too… Oh yeah… God! Because of His presence (always there) and His nature (always loving) it doesn’t matter how chaotic and overwhelming things get… His love is always available and is the perfect prescription for calming fears and redeeming our hearts… by @jessemilani

The 24 organisationsare deeply concerned by the continued targeting of Mehman Huseynov and call onthe Azerbaijani authorities to immediately and unconditionally release him andall other political prisoners, and to reverse the continuous clampdown onfreedom of expression occurring in the country.
“Today'ssentencing and jailing of Mehman Huseynov is outrageous - another example ofAzerbaijan’s best and brightest being targeted for expressing opinions criticalof the ruling Aliyev regime. It also shows that nothing has changed since therelease of a number of high-profile political prisoners last year. Therevolving-door policy of politically motivated arrests is still very much inplace. Huseynov is now one of at least 13 journalists, bloggers, and mediaworkers jailed in Azerbaijan. They must all be immediately and unconditionallyreleased, in accordance with Azerbaijan’s international obligations”, said RebeccaVincent, UK Bureau Director for Reporters Without Borders.
Huseynov’s conviction stems from criminal defamationcharges in a private case brought by the chief of the police department,related to a report he published in which he wrote about his experience oftorture, after he was detained overnight by police in January,
Mehman Huseynov was detained in Baku on 9 January byplain clothed police officers and held incommunicado overnight. Huseynov hasreported that while in police custody, police placed a sack over his head andused force against him. He was convicted of disobeying police orders; andalthough the Court released him on 10 January, he was fined, and continued toface police harassment. The court has imposed a formal travel ban on Huseynovwho already has been deprived of his travel documents for the past five years.
”Mehman Huseynov`scase is emblematic of the abusive and arbitrary methods used to punish andattempt to silence human rights defenders, journalists and activists. MehmanHuseynov must be releases immediately and unconditionally, he has to havecompensation for torture and ill-treatment, and those who are responsible fortorture and ill-treatment, regardless of their position, have to be brought tojustice. The international community must act, given the continued andincreased repression against human rights defenders, journalists and lawyers inAzerbaijan. The dire human rights situation in Azerbaijan deserves the highestattention and action at the Human Rights Council.”, says Florian Irminger, Headof Advocacy, Human Rights House Foundation.
”We are shocked and deeply distressed by thisshameful verdict, which is nothing but a mockery of justice. Azerbaijanilaw-enforcement agencies have earned notorious reputations for using brutal andunlawful interrogation methods. Instead of investigating the credible tortureclaims, the authorities have chosen to jail the blogger”, says Gulnara Akhundova, Head of GlobalResponse, International Media Support.
Notably, Mehman Huseynov has been critical of the appointmentof first lady Mehriban Aliyeva to the post of the Vice President on 21 February2017.
“Prior tothe appointment of first lady Mehriban Aliyeva to the post of the VicePresident on 21 February 2017, the Azerbaijani government has pursued a newwave of detentions and harassment of activists, journalists and bloggers,apparently aimed at consolidating the government’s authoritarian rule andpreventing any dissent around the controversial appointment.” says Sasha Koulaeva, Head of EasternEurope-Central Asia Desk, FIDH.
Detentions of PoliticalOpposition
Ahead of the Vice-Presidential appointment, since theamendment was passed in September, authorities have arrested severalrepresentatives of the political opposition on false, politically-motivatedcharges, including ten members of Azerbaijan Popular Front Party, one member ofthe Republican Alternative Movement (REAL) and one member of the D18 movement.
There are credible allegations of torture and othercruel and degrading treatment of the detainees. For example, Rahim Shaliyev, aREAL Movement member detained on 20 February and subsequently sentenced to 30days administrative detention on charges of resisting police, reported to hislawyer that he was subject to beatings and humiliation, resulting in an injuryto his skull.
Crackdown on media
Journalists have also been subject to arbitrarydetention and harassment. On 17 February 2017 Elchin Ismayilli, founder andeditor of Kend.info, an on-line news portal known for its reporting oncorruption and human rights violations in the Ismayilli region of Azerbaijan,was detained by police. He is accused of threatening a local governmentemployee and has been charged with extortion and abuse of a position ofinfluence. Ismayilli denies all the charges. On 18 February, the NasimiDistrict Court sentenced Ismayilli to pre-trial detention for an initial periodof 24 days. Ismayilli is currently being held in the Kurdakhani pretrialdetention centre.
On 22 February, cable TV channels stopped all theauthorities officially suspended all broadcasts by the Turkish affiliate of FOXTV, after the channel aired a satirical discussion on the appointment of thenew Vice President. A spokesperson for the National Television and RadioCouncil (NTRC) of Azerbaijan stated that this decision was made at the solediscretion of cable providers; however, anonymous sources within the cableproviders have reported that they faced pressure from the NTRC to drop thechannel.
At the sametime, the authorities have continued their harassment of opposition newspaperAzadliq, which was forced to cease abandon print publication in September 2016,following ongoing financial pressures from state-owned or affiliated companies.In the second half of February 2017, over ten staff members were summoned andinterrogated by the Serious Crimes Investigation Department. The publication’sFinancial Director, Faiq Amirov, and prominent journalist, Symur Hezi, havebeen incarcerated on trumped up charges since August 2016 and August 2014,respectively.
Activists expressing critical views on the internetand social media, the last bastion of freedom of expression, have also beensubject to police pressure, aimed at forcing them to delete dissenting posts.For example, on 21 February Nisakhanim Valiyeva, the Chair of the ClassicalPopular Front Party was held in police custody for four hours, the same daythat Merhiban Aliyeva was appointed Vice President, and released only afterdeleting her critical Facebook posts about the appointment.
This has been accompanied by calls for increasedregulation of the internet and online content. The chair of the Press CouncilAflatun Amashov, whose official mandate is to safeguard independent media andrights of journalists, has submitted a proposal to the Milli Majlis(Parliament), calling for mandatory registration of bloggers and activists,aimed at ensuring greater control over those expressing themselves online.
Harassment ofcritics in exile
The government of Azerbaijan is also pursuinggovernment critics living in exile abroad. Shortly after giving a speech at theEuropean Parliament on the human rights situation in Azerbaijan on 6 February,Emin Milli, head of Meydan TV, a critical TV channel operating in exile fromBerlin, reported to German Police receiving threats of physical violence fromthe Azerbaijani authorities.
“The Azerbaijaniauthorities persistently violate freedom of expression and other human rights,both at home and abroad”, said Katie Morris, Head of Europe and Central Asiaat ARTICLE 19. “With this happening intheir own backyard, European governments can no longer ignore the arrests,torture and harassment of government critics and their families and must callthe Azerbaijan government to account”, she added.
Where the authorities are unable to reach theircritics, they have sought to harass family remembers remaining in Azerbaijan.Most recently, on the 22nd of February, the brother Dadashov Khanlar and nephew Sabuhi Zanalov of Netherlands-based blogger Ordukhan Teymurkhan, knownfor his criticism of the Aliyevs, weresentenced to 30 days detention onentirely bogus charges of disobeying police orders.
We, the undersigned organisations, call on thegovernment of Azerbaijan to cease its harassment and detention of governmentcritics. Allegations of torture must be investigated, and all politicalprisoners must be immediately and unconditionally released.
The relentless campaign waged by the authoritiesagainst media workers, bloggers, political activists, civil society and othersthat are deemed to threaten the power of the ruling regime must stopimmediately.
We also call on the international community to exert political pressureand take all the necessary measures until Azerbaijan fully honours its humanrights commitments.

Since the unilateral rise in the market in 2009, the prices of non-ferrous metals at home and abroad have shown an upward trend in 2010. This aspect stems from the abundant liquidity in the global market, the recovery of the world economy, and the strong price of non-ferrous metals. On the other hand, it is also subject to domestic macro-control and tightening monetary policy, as well as overcapacity and environmental pressures in the non-ferrous metals industry. The influence of a series of factors. For 2011 hot spots such as non-ferrous metal price operation and industry development trend, some speculations on the non-ferrous metals industry in the new year have been released recently.
In terms of the research and development of the overall development trend of the non-ferrous metals industry in 2011, the restructuring structure will be the main tone of the non-ferrous industry. This is not only the overall planning and layout of the country's economic restructuring, but also the current overcapacity in the domestic non-ferrous industry, low overall technical level, serious environmental pollution, low industrial concentration and the pressure on the non-ferrous metal industry to face foreign trade frictions such as anti-dumping. Various reasons. Therefore, to adjust the industrial structure, the domestic non-ferrous metals industry in the new year should do the following work: First, eliminate backward production capacity, such as the use of large-scale pre-bake cell technology above 300kA in the complete elimination or renovation of the aluminum smelting line; Second, the industrial layout should be more rational, achieve regional transfer in the development of non-ferrous metal resources and smelting capacity, and move closer to the integration direction in the mining and smelting process; the third is to improve the non-ferrous metal processing varieties and build an increasingly reasonable product structure.
In view of the increasingly prominent bottlenecks in the development of mineral resources in recent years, it is predicted that the shortage of mineral resources and low grades in 2011 will not be improved, and will even be further aggravated, especially copper concentrates will be more tense, which will make The problem of self-sufficiency rate of non-ferrous mineral products in China is more prominent.
In view of the trend of non-ferrous metal prices, it is believed that the price of non-ferrous metals will continue to be high in 2011 due to the abundant liquidity brought by the Fed's quantitative easing policy and the overlapping effect of China's tightening monetary policy. Due to the shortage of global supply, strong demand in emerging markets, and the impact of investment demand represented by commodity physical ETFs, the price trend of basic metals will be divided. In 2011, the performance of copper prices will win, and the long-term upward trend of gold prices is difficult to change.
Since the financial crisis, lead prices have fluctuated drastically. In 2010, lead prices fluctuated widely, and it was difficult to grasp the rise and fall. Many people in the industry hope to launch lead futures as soon as possible, and to avoid price fluctuation risks through futures tools. Lead futures are expected to be listed in 2011.
Whether it is for the overall non-ferrous metals industry or for individual non-ferrous companies, 2011 is facing enormous challenges. According to the analysis, the increasing trend of China's foreign trade friction in the new year will further affect non-ferrous metal enterprises. In this regard, the adjustment of product structure is the fundamental way for non-ferrous enterprises to respond to anti-dumping investigations, and accelerate the realization of foreign trade growth mode from extensive to quality, efficiency and structure. Optimized intensive growth mode shift. At the same time, the environmental protection measures that the country may introduce in the new year will form a â€œgreen barrierâ€ for the development of non-ferrous industries. For the pollution problem of related varieties of non-ferrous production enterprises, the state will be bound by policies or taxes. In addition, the environmental protection permit system for lead-acid batteries, the â€œRenewable Lead Admission Guidelinesâ€ and the â€œRare Earth Industrial Pollutant Emission Standardsâ€ are also being studied and formulated, which will have a major impact on the industry's green production.
It is predicted that the threshold for entry into the non-ferrous metals industry in the new year will increase. In order to limit the increasingly overcapacity and environmental protection environment of the regenerative metal industry, the Chinese government has begun to develop the conditions for access to recycled metals. With the implementation of some previous plans and regulations, it may bring about no small changes in the development of the industry.

The equivalent to a mic drop, Sir Kensington’s has just perfected an eggless mayonnaise using aquafaba. “Say whaaaat?” you ask. Yep. They not only perfected an eggless, mayo without using soy but they are using by products from a hummus company to do it. We love bi-product reclaimed goods and process. In short, when you cook chic peas in water the liquid that remains in aquafaba. It has very similar properties to eggs so they thought, “Who’s dumping tons of this aquafaba down the drain daily?” Hummus companies were the obvious, and low cost, answer. Now part of their avocado oil mayo, organic mayo made with sunflower oil and their classic, Sir Kensington’s Fabanaise rounds out the Mayo department not only with a smart recipe but with an innovation waste management solution. It tastes great too.
More Food Stuff
We love our chips here in America. The ladies of Six Foods wanted to make something better than the potato chip that was also sustainable. Chirps Chips were born from cricket flour saving 1999 gallons of water compared to what it takes to make a cow. it used to be have your cake and eat it too. In this healthful thinking food climate it’s turned into have your chips and protein too. The Six Foods team has launched with three flavors, BBQ, cheddar and (the classic) sea salt. I couldn’t find much on their process just yet but I’m sure there’s more knowledge to be dropped soon as Chirps hit the shelves. For now dig into a combo pack.
I met Hansen Shieh in the “new” products aisle at the Fancy Food NYC. He was first in a long line of new vendors and the Earthy. Spicy. Tingly. did it’s job. It drew me right in and had me asking for more. That more was a couple spoonful of Hansen’s truly deep sauces. Incredible flavors on their own, how he can bottle them that way is even more impressive. Typically the jar of sauce looses something from mom’s kitchen to co-packer. Aside from the sauce Hansen knows his stuff, tells a great story and is super gracious. Closing deals is a big part of the show and not being a buyer, I sometimes have trouble focusing purveyors to talk beyond the sale. Not the case with Hansen. Since that talk, we’ve had some Earthy Spicy Tingly in the pantry at all times.
This is a bunch of Brooklyn guys who decided to reinvent dried pasta. To do so they brought back some rare shapes and even made up a few new ones. They also bucked the flour norm and add some unique flavors to the mix. Mint, ramp, nettles even cocoa find their way into these unique shapes. To boot the guys are awesome. On a recent trip to the market I couldn’t find their zucca (a pumpkin like globe shaped pasta). I gave a call to see where I could find some. After they spent 10 minutes diligently tracking it down, they told me to just pop down to the factory and they’d give me some. You got to love that real Italian hospitality. So, when I heard they has a Sfoglini Pasta of the Month Club, it was an instant join. We opted for the 12-Month plan. You can never have enough pasta on hand.
We couldn’t decide between the bread and butter beets and the Mostarda as our favorites. Preservation Society Members Club allows you to not have to choose. Unfortunately we don’t have a Montreal address so this club wasn’t an option for us. Luckily we have friends willing to pick up (and probably eat) our club benefits. What we love most, besides the quality, unique ingredients and perfectly ripened tastes, is that theirs not secrets or pretension to the small batch brand. Camilla Wynne ♥’s canning and wants to bring that knowledge to as many people as possible. This club is one way she does that. Workshops, events and a tell all book are three others. Talk about approachable. Of course our approach requires a JFK to YUL flight path.

Senators Graham and McCain threaten to put Janet Yellen's Fed chair nomination on hold. CNBC's Tyler Mathisen reports the details.» Read More
WASHINGTON, Oct 16- U.S. Senate leaders struck a bipartisan 11th- hour deal to break the fiscal impasse on Wednesday, and the Republican-led House of Representatives agreed to take it up as Congress moved to avert a historic debt default. The timing of the House and Senate votes is unclear.
WASHINGTON, Oct 14- U.S. lawmakers urged President Barack Obama to keep to a hard line on sanctions imposed on Iran on Monday, a day before the resumption of talks on its nuclear program between world powers and Tehran.
Prominent leaders in the US Congress have recently signaled they will hold off on tough economic sanctions intended to completely cut off Iran's oil exports until after talks between Iran and the P5 +1 in Geneva later this month.
WASHINGTON, Oct 14- Nine Democratic and Republican U.S. senators said on Monday they were open to suspending the implementation of new sanctions on Iran but only if Tehran takes significant steps to slow its nuclear program.
WASHINGTON, Oct 13- Senate negotiations to bring a boiling fiscal crisis to an end showed signs of progress on Sunday, but there were no guarantees that the U.S. federal government shutdown was about to end or that a historic default would be avoided.
WASHINGTON, Oct 13- Senate Majority Harry Reid said Sunday that he was engaged in negotiations with Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and was "confident" they could resolve the fiscal crisis confronting Washington. "We're in conversation today," Reid said on the Senate floor.
*Both Democrats and Republicans skeptical on Iran. *Iran seeks "consistent voice" from Washington. WASHINGTON, Sept 25- After balking at President Barack Obama's plan to attack Syria, the U.S. Congress is also stirring in opposition to his latest foreign policy goal: an effort to improve relations with Iran.
*Must yield to Senate vote later in the day. Republican Senator Ted Cruz slogged into the second day of his marathon attack on Obamacare from the Senate floor on Wednesday, showing almost no signs of relenting after speaking for nearly 16 hours.

*Must yield to Senate vote later in the day. Senator Ted Cruz began on Wednesday the second day of a marathon attack on Obamacare from the Senate floor, but most of his fellow Republicans declined to join the Tea Party favorite.
Senator Ted Cruz, a renegade Tea Party favorite, took his fight to defund President Barack Obama's healthcare overhaul to the Senate floor on Tuesday, but most of his Republican colleagues refused to join him.
WASHINGTON, Sept 24- There are signs that the conservative Tea Party movement has pushed other Republicans in the U.S. Congress too far and that a counter-revolt may be brewing.
WASHINGTON, Sept 24- U.S. Senate Republicans on Tuesday appeared to fall in line with their leaders who want to pass an emergency spending bill by Sept. 30 and avoid government shutdowns, even if it means failing in a drive to destroy "Obamacare."
WASHINGTON, Aug 27- President Barack Obama will likely have to contend with Democratic defections and bring some Republicans on board to support Lawrence Summers if he chooses the controversial former Treasury secretary as the next chairman of the Federal Reserve.
*But punishing Egypt could be counter-productive. PARIS, Aug 15- Having failed to dissuade Egypt's military-dominated rulers from launching a bloody crackdown on supporters of an ousted Islamist president, Western governments are venting condemnation and groping for ways to influence the outcome.
Obama and Congress face two fiscal deadlines in quick succession. And in early November, Congress must raise the legal limit on the country's borrowing authority or risk an unprecedented default on the government's debt, a much more consequential event than a shutdown because of its potential to cause chaos in financial markets and harm the economy.
WASHINGTON, July 25- Republicans in the U.S. Senate want to make sure the federal government does not become involved in the financial maelstrom hitting Detroit, which filed for the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history last week. "Should the federal government bail out Detroit?

Senator John McCain said on Thursday that he and other backers of immigration reform "are not winning," and must boost efforts to get the House of Representatives to pass such a bill. "Here is a fact: We are not winning," the Arizona Republican told reporters. "

Both the Times Ledger and Queens Tribune covered a meeting that Queens Civic Congress held with DOB Commissioner Patricia Lancaster. It didn't always go as smoothly as she had expected:
DOB Admits Its Flaws, Touts Web Advances
“Your job is to protect us,” said Bellerose resident Michael Agugliaro. “There needs to be infrastructure. You’re talking about building for 2030, but you’re building on a foundation that is faulty.” Agugliaro was concerned about bringing new residents into areas of Queens that were already saturated with large multi-family homes built contrary to zoning.
Boro leaders fight illegal building
Kerzner proposed tracking architects who self-certify plans, enforcing building code compliance, setting up a program like the NYPD's CompStat that could keep tabs on buildings, establishing cyclical inspections of buildings and converting environmental control board summonses to tax liens if they are not paid within one year of issuance.

QCC meets DOB
Posted by Queens Crapper at 1:16 AM
Will DOB improve? I hope I can see it in my lifetime...... but not under this mayor I'm afraid.
Bloomberg likes the situation exactly as it is. It helps his builder buddies skirt the law more easily!
DOB=Dept. of BS!
what kind of photo is this?
It's the creative portrait, she had a makeover to look like she trendy.
Wow, that photo makes me feel so much better about the leadership at the Department of Bumblers err Buildings.

A National Crime Intelligence Service report said the source of the money was Semion Mogilevich, the Ukrainian at the centre of allegations that $10bn was laundered through the Bank of New York.
In an attempt to launder his illegal gains, Mogilevich set up three accounts with an unsuspecting London law firm, Blakes. One of the firm's principals, Adrian Churchward, 53, from Romford, east London, was married to Mogilevich's ex-wife, who knew nothing of the mafia don's criminal activities.
Large sums of money started going through the hands of the London lawyers. This attracted the attention of police, who raided the homes of the lawyers in May 1995, and seized pounds 2m from their account at the Royal Bank of Scotland. No prosecutions followed.
Because the money was put in the Blakes' client account, none of the transactions came to the notice of the money laundering reporting officer of the Royal Bank. The bank's attitude was that it didn't need to check because the Law Society was responsible for regulating solicitors' firms in respect of money laundering, said the NCIS report. The bank was not aware that the money came from Mogilevich.Reuse content
