Author: Holly Bourne
Published by: Usborne
Publication date: 1st August 2016
Genres: YA Contemporary/Feminism
Source: Review copy from the publisher.
Am I Normal Yet? saw Evie struggling with an OCD relapse. How Hard Can Love Be? focused on Amber dealing with family issues as well as love and acceptance. What's A Girl Gotta Do? is Lottie's story, where she fights for equality no matter how many hurdles she faces in the process.
I loved those books, and I loved this one, too. Holly Bourne captures the teenage voice perfectly every single time, and the attention to detail never fails to blow me away. I've said it before and I'll say it again: she just gets it. How a friendship can disappear in the blink of an eye. How sometimes the only thing you can do is retire to bed with a pile of snacks. How saving the world is even more difficult when you've got exams to think about, but that with determination, you can make a change. How you can 100% aim to do it all, but also that it's okay to take a break and put yourself first.
Out of all Bourne's books, I think What's A Girl Gotta Do? has the heaviest focus on sexism. Being completely honest, Lottie used to be my least favourite character, but I soon warmed to her and admired her ambition. I also loved catching up with Evie and Amber. Especially Amber, whose dialogue was hilarious and on point, once again. It must be an Amber thing.
But back focusing on the feminism aspect... I read a review a while ago that didn't like that the characters occasionally slip-up and do things that aren't typically feminist. However, that's one of the things I like most about these books. No one is the perfect feminist. Not even Emma Watson. The thing is, it's more realistic this way - and it's not like they don't realise their mistakes or learn from them, because they do. We've had so many crap ideas forced on us by society from birth. That's going to take a while to filter out of the population, but we're making progress, slowly but surely.
Do I recommend this? OF COURSE. You know it's a good book when you find yourself smiling throughout. This whole trilogy is well worth reading. (And it's not over just yet, because there's a Spinster Club novella coming in November - woop!)
And here's my video with the author herself!

Visibility is a critical measurement parameter for the safe and efficient operation of a road or rail tunnel. Acoem’s VICONOX, a multiparameter tunnel atmosphere monitor, employs the visible light transmission technique to directly measure the visibility levels experienced by tunnel users. The continuous measurement data gathered by the VICONOX can be used by tunnel operators as part of a ventilation control system.
The level of visibility in a road tunnel needs to be controlled to provide safe driving conditions, the driver’s vision of the road ahead must not be restricted due to high levels of particulate (dust, smoke, water vapor etc) generated by road vehicles and prevailing weather conditions.
The VICONOX monitor can report a range of visibility measurement parameters as detailed in the table below, with the Extinction Coefficient (k) being the most frequently used parameter in road tunnel environments.
Extinction Coefficient (k)
|The number of particles in the atmosphere between the observer and the object, and how effectively they can absorb and scatter light. This value is defined by a term called the atmospheric extinction coefficient (k factor). As the k factor increases, visibility decreases.||km-1|
Meteorological Optical Range (MOR)
A formally defined distance, essentially equivalent to visibility: the path length in the atmosphere over which the light from a known source is reduced by 95%. Often used in the measurement of fog or mist and calculated as 3/k factor.
|The state or quality of being opaque. 0% opacity equals completely transparent, 100% opacity is completely opaque.||
|Particulate Density (Dust)||A measurement of the average airborne particulate density, calculated using a density scale factor.||
The Extinction Coefficient (the k value) is a measure of the light attenuation from scattering and absorption. The MOR is the path length in the atmosphere that will reduce the visible light by 95% of its original value. The k value and MOR are inversely proportional, as k increases, the MOR decreases.
- Road tunnel with stationary traffic
- Extinction Coefficient = 9km-1
- MOR value = 0.33km
With an extinction value of 9km-1 (9 per km), we can calculate the distance that visibility is reduced by dividing 1 by 9km-1, which equals 0.11km. Using the accepted attenuation factor of 63%, a k factor of 9km-1 means light is attenuated by 63% every 0.11km. This would be representative of a traffic jam in a very congested tunnel.
- Road tunnel with traffic congestion
- Extinction Coefficient = 7km-1
- MOR value = 0.43km
With an extinction value of 7km-1 (7 per km), we can calculate the distance that visibility is reduced by dividing 1 by 7km-1, which equals 0.14km. Using the accepted attenuation factor of 63%, a k factor of 7km-1 means light is attenuated by 63% every 0.14km. This would indicate moderate congestion in a road tunnel.
- Road tunnel with free flowing traffic
- Extinction Coefficient = 3km-1
- MOR value = 1km
With an extinction value of 3km-1 (3 per km), we can calculate the distance that visibility is reduced by dividing 1 by 3km-1, which equals 0.33km. Using the accepted attenuation factor of 63%, a k factor of 3km-1 means light is attenuated by 63% every 0.33km. This level is typical for free flowing traffic conditions within a tunnel.
Airborne particles in the tunnel atmosphere are generated by vehicle exhaust emissions, wear and tear of brakes and tyres, and water vapor (spray, mist and fog). These particles reduce visibility by scattering and absorbing visible light. The Acoem VICONOX can accurately measure total visibility levels experienced by drivers using direct, open path technology.
Please contact us directly if you would like more information about the VICONOX tunnel air quality monitor or any of our other monitors and accessories for your next tunnel project.

|What are your utility bills on a townhouse - Click HERE for Original Thread|
Well, my gas, water, sewer, electricity, and the city waste and recycling charges add up to between $160 and $230 per month. This is on a semi-detached (half duplex) that's about 1800 sq foot.
I'd assume yours would be 20-30% less.
$300 is more than enough.
In the winter the Enmax bill is around $120-$150 and Direct Energy is $90 for one of my rentals which is a 1000sq.ft 2storey townhouse. In the summer the gas bill is like $30 and electrical is around $100 depending on usage.l
300 is indeed more than enough. I was stupid and signed a contract with Alberta Energy Savings, so I'm paying THREE TIMES the price for gas as the current floating regulated rate is.
And my bils still total well under 300.
Just got my last months bills..... $135 direct energy and $104 Enmax. And that's by far the highest I've ever had.
yeah, mins an average of $200/mo, but condo fees pay for water and sewage
My townhouse is 1100 sq. ft. and my utilities are approx. $180. Keep in mind, I live on my own. When I had a roommate, I was at around $200-$250 per month.
My Enmax electiricty averages $60, Direct Energy gas about $80, and water/sewage are part of my rediculous condo fees of $340.
I'm in the same boat at Cos, where I just purchased a townhouse condo out in Chestermere.
The place won't be done until March, 2010 but I want to find out how much utilities will cost per month on a two storey 1200sqft townhouse.
Should I go fixed rate or floating?
Anyone with experience with 3WEB/CIA service out in Chestermere? $40/month for internet/phone is sort of hard to beat.
Thanks in advance for the info!

Focus wanted on rate-paying shops
A Matamata-Piako District councillor believes a bylaw should do more to protect local businesses from outside competitors.
Leonie Tisch told a recent council meeting that she is ‘‘ vehemently opposed’’ to mobile shops, and recommended the bylaw change from 100m to 500m for the distance visiting operators are allowed to trade from retailers selling similar types of products.
The 100m restriction was ‘‘too close’’, she said.
Council chief executive officer Don McLeod said there was ‘‘a general acceptance that mobile shops are part of our urban character’’.
Mayor Hugh Vercoe said he was comfortable with the 100m rule.
‘‘By moving to 500m we will be telling them to get out of town.’’
Cr Tisch said they must be careful they continued to protect businesses who paid rates.
On the cost of consulting on a single issue the council decided to look at this as part of the next annual plan and bylaw review.
At the same meeting the council amended its Public Safety Bylaw, relating to trading in public places, to include provisions relating to clear accessways and standards of cleanliness.
The council revoked a licensing scheme for trading in public places, and sandwich board regulations.


Historic U.S.–North Korea summit
Read the U.S.-North Korea joint statement
The U.S.–North Korea summit — the first in history — marked an epochal event in the two countries’ history. President Trump and Chairman Kim Jong Un took steps to overcome decades of tensions and open up a new future of peace, prosperity and security for the Korean Peninsula and the world.
“We’re very proud of what took place today,” President Trump said at the June 12 signing ceremony for a joint statement between the two countries. “A lot of goodwill went into this, a lot of work, a lot of preparation. I want to thank everybody on both sides. Secretary [Mike] Pompeo and all of his counterparts, they were absolutely fantastic.”
Walking a new path
The two leaders met one-on-one before their delegations joined them for a meeting. They signed a joint statement in which President Trump committed to provide security guarantees to North Korea, and Kim reaffirmed his commitment to complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
“I know that we will have tremendous success together, and we will solve a big problem, a big dilemma that, until this point, has been unable to be solved. I know that, working together, we will get it taken care of,” President Trump said.
Update from Singapore
“The ultimate objective we seek from diplomacy with North Korea has not changed,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said at a June 11 press briefing in Singapore ahead of the scheduled summit between U.S. President Trump and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un.
“The complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearization of the Korean peninsula is the only outcome that the United States will accept,” the secretary said.
Trump prepares for meeting with North Korean leader
“The denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula would usher in a new era of prosperity, security and peace for all Koreans — North and South — and for people everywhere,” President Trump said in a June 7 press conference after meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzō Abe at the White House.
On June 12, Trump will meet North Korea’s Kim Jong Un at a hotel on Singapore’s Sentosa Island. The location has been secured for the two leaders’ arrival.
At the June 7 press conference, President Trump thanked Prime Minister Abe, saying, “Our partnership has been invaluable in reaching this important moment, and we will continue to be in close communication in the weeks ahead.” Trump also thanked South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in for his help.
In a briefing at the White House later that day, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said, “President Trump is hopeful, but he’s also going into this summit with his eyes wide open.”
“We’ve seen how many inadequate agreements have been struck in the past. And you can be sure that President Trump will not stand for a bad deal,” the secretary said.
Pompeo said that throughout the process, the United States has been unified with Japan and South Korea in response to the threats from North Korea. He said he believes North Korea shares a more positive vision for the future.
“We’re looking forward to being in Singapore in just a few days,” Pompeo said.

Ramit is a personal finance advisor and the author of the New York Times Bestseller I Will Teach You To Be Rich, while Cass is a personal stylist and the founder of Next Level Wardrobe. They are both next-level talented, creative, and hardworking, and extremely dedicated to their family and friend communities.
Brilliant Event Planning, based in NYC, was hired to execute the couple’s vision of an outdoor California wedding with great food and a mix of Cass’ Mexican heritage and Ramit’s Indian culture. What came together in their honor is so stunning we’ve broken into two blog posts, the first focused on the beautiful cultural celebrations and ceremonies.
The wedding weekend began with a Mehndi party for immediate family on the Ritz-Carlton’s spacious and sunny Fireside Terrace. As the henna artists created their intricate designs, the bride excitedly watched the construction of the custom golden archway for the sangeet ceremony – a traditional pre-wedding musical celebration that would take place later that day in the Ritz-Carlton meadows.
After a quick wardrobe change, Cass and Ramit led the way into the sangeet accompanied by a lively mariachi band – a nod to the bride’s Latina heritage. The sangeet tent was inspired by an outdoor Indian spice market, resplendent with colorful spices and fresh blossoms. Guests were treated to choreographed dancing by many of the immediate family members, followed by a jaggo performance with a drummer and gaggar pots.
Saturday morning began early with a Sikh turban-tying ceremony, followed by a rousing baraat procession beginning at the Big Springs gondola. Ramit entered on horseback, accompanied by drummers and the cheers of family and friends, leading the parade to Northstar’s Overlook deck. Here Cass and Ramit’s families exchanged garlands in a milni ceremony, followed by tea.
As is traditional, Cass remained out of view during the early events and guests were breathless as she entered on the arms of her future sisters-in-law for the absolutely stunning anand karaj – the wedding ceremony itself. Langar was served following the ceremony, with the Ritz-Carlton chefs referring to Mrs. Sethi’s family cookbook to keep the dishes as authentic as possible.

Heading in opposite directions, Lumberton hosts Sacred HeartBy CAMAL PETRO,
The Lumberton Panthers have been in this situation before entering Friday night’s game against Sacred Heart. After losing to Taylorsville in 2017, the Panthers traveled to Hattiesburg to play the Crusaders and Sacred Heart “checked out oil,” as Lumberton coach Zach Jones put it.
After playing a close first half, Lumberton dominated the second half to win big, but Sacred Heart still played tough enough to put a scare in Lumberton.
Jones doesn’t want that to happen this season.
“We have to be ready because we went into Sacred Heart last year after Taylorsville with our feelings hurt,” Jones said. “We looked up and (Sacred Heart) played their tails off and we’re in a ballgame at halftime. We can’t do that. You can’t take anything for granted and we have to be ready to play.
“We know coach (Lonny) Schraeder, coach (Drew) Dewease and those guys do a good job and they’ll have them ready to play. We have to be ready to go and we can’t overlook anybody.”
While Lumberton has jumped out to a 6-1 record, Sacred Heart remains winless. The Crusaders have had their fair share of issues in 2018.
“We’re just mowing through,” Schraeder said. “It’s tough in a situation like this to keep the spirits up when you’re not going in the right direction, but that’s my job. We have to keep the kids up and playing hard.”
One thing is for sure, Jones knows Sacred Heart will be ready to play when the teams kickoff Friday night.
“They have a good group of kids who play hard, so we know we’re going to get their best effort,” Jones said. “They’re really good along the line of scrimmage on both sides, so it’s not a gimmie by any means for us. We’re going to have to go play to have a chance.”
The Crusaders have lost big to Resurrection and East Marion to open up region play, while Lumberton took down Mount Olive and East Marion before playing a non-region game against Taylorsville.
The No. 1 team in 2A handed the Panthers a 35-9 loss Friday night, forcing Lumberton to turn the ball over fives times. While it was a 24-point loss, the score doesn’t tell the entire story. The Panthers moved the ball on the Tartars, but fumbles and interceptions prevented points.
Defensively, Jones was happy with the performance of his players on that side of the ball.
“We lost and that is what it is, but the score isn’t indicative of how close it was,” Jones said. “I thought our defense played great and they gave us a chance to win. We held them in check as well as anyone has all year. I thought physically we went toe-to-toe with them.”
The Crusaders, on the other hand, are still searching for their first win. It’s been a rough season in Hattiesburg, but Schraeder still has high standards for his team every week.
“The standard doesn’t change,” he said. “You go out and play hard and that’s what we expect. That’s what we’re going to do. We’ll go out and play hard then look up at the end to see what the score is. You don’t change your standards, you keep playing hard and do what you have to do.”

Adam and Jamie of Mythbusters fame are cool guys. I enjoy their program and find it oddly educational, in a sort of geeky-destructive way. But I have to admit that the following video of a demonstration they did at an Nvidia graphics card conference really impressed the heck out of me. The first part of the video shows their interpretation of computer graphics using a single CPU, and the second part is their version of a massively parallel GPU rendering.
Make sure you watch it through to the end- the first part is kinda slow, but that’s the intention 🙂

In honor of the Fourth of July, Thomas is not only celebrating Independence Day, but also celebrating the independent American manufacturers that contribute so much to our country throughout the year.
And while there are many of reasons to appreciate these small and mid-sized businesses, we wanted to highlight three in particular.
With tariffs and trade taking center stage in recent months, a lot of the discussion has focused on the importing of goods and services. However, it has also sparked a renewed interest — and intensity — in exporting.

The manufacturing industry is largely comprised of small businesses. In fact, according to the latest information from the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 98 percent of manufacturing companies in the U.S. are considered to be small (with fewer than 500 employees). Further still, nearly 75 percent of manufacturing companies actually have fewer than 20 employees.
Within these smaller organizations, financial decisions always loom incredibly large. Every dollar counts, and one misstep can have disastrous consequences. That's why it's important to steer clear of these common pitfalls.Read More »

There is no question that technology has improved almost every aspect of the business process.
In theory, this is particularly true within the procurement and supply chain sphere: online e-sourcing tools make conducting sourcing events more effective and less costly than ever; online ordering portals and spend management software cut down on the time necessary to complete the entire procurement cycle.Read More »

View of a small region of the thin, disrupted, ice crust in the Conamara region of Jupiter's moon Europa showing the interplay of surface color with ice structures. The white and blue colors outline areas that have been blanketed by a fine dust of ice particles ejected at the time of formation of the large (16 miles or 26 kilometer in diameter) crater Pwyll some 621 miles (1,000 kilometers) to the south. A few small craters of less than 547 yards (500 meters) in diameter can be seen associated with these regions. These were probably formed, at the same time as the blanketing occurred, by large, intact, blocks of ice thrown up in the impact explosion that formed Pwyll. The unblanketed surface has a reddish brown color that has been painted by mineral contaminants carried and spread by water vapor released from below the crust when it was disrupted. The original color of the icy surface was probably a deep blue color seen in large areas elsewhere on the moon. The colors in this picture have been enhanced for visibility.
North is to the top of the picture and the sun illuminates the surface from the right. The image, centered at 9 degrees north latitude and 274 degrees west longitude, covers an area approximately 44 by 19 miles (70 by 30 kilometers), and combines data taken by the Solid State Imaging (CCD) system on NASA's Galileo spacecraft during three of its orbits through the Jovian system.
Low resolution color (violet, green, and infrared) data acquired in September 1996, were combined with medium resolution images from December 1996, to produce synthetic color images. These were then combined with a high resolution mosaic of images acquired on Feb. 20th, 1997 at a resolution of 59 yards (54 meters) per picture element and at a range of 3,320 miles (5,340 kilometers).

Let’s face it, most of us are not morning people. We need that little extra kick to get us through the door and ready for work. That is where your beloved coffee comes in. Learn how to make the best tasting cup of coffee you can to start your day off right by reading the following article.
Coffee tastes much better if it is fresh brewed, and is actually lower in caffeine if consumed soon after it is made. Some people are particular about using only spring water or bottled water to make it, while others seem to think tap water works just fine for making good coffee.
Coffee stored in your fridge can become terrific iced coffee. In this way, you can have cold coffee that has not been watered down after being poured over ice. To properly sweeten your iced coffee, add sweetener before placing in the refrigerator. You will wake up to a delicious iced beverage.
To add excitement to your daily cup of coffee or impress dinner guests, learn how to decorate your lattes. Carefully poured milk is all it takes to make an attractive swirl design while more proficient pourers may choose to add chocolate for a more flavorful decoration. When it comes to the more elaborate designs, practice makes perfect!
One way to ensure that your iced coffee does not become watery when you place the hot coffee over ice is to use ice cubes made from coffee. To make coffee ice cubes, simply pour freshly brewed room temperature coffee into your ice cube trays and freeze. When you are ready to enjoy an iced coffee, place the frozen coffee ice cubes in a glass and fill with your freshly brewed coffee.
For those individuals who do not want to consume caffeinated drinks, but love the flavor of coffee, they can enjoy decaffeinated coffee. Some people do not have a problem with a little caffeine, and half-caffeine coffee is a good choice for them. There is no appreciable difference in the flavor between full and half-caffeine coffee.
If you grind your own coffee, be sure to only grind the amount you will be using that day. If you grind too much and just leave your coffee around, the elements will take the freshness and taste of it. Contrary to what many believe, storing coffee in the refrigerator does not leave it fresh.
You should never reheat coffee, as it will just burn the beverage and taste far worse than being cold. Instead, know when you will have your coffee for more than 20 minutes. Have an insulated mug or a thermal carafe handy for these occasions to retain the original heat and warmth.
As was mentioned earlier in this article, coffee is an essential part of most of our mornings. When you take the time to implement these tips into your coffee making routine, you will enjoy a better tasting cup of joe that is sure to start each and every morning off right.

Canberra’s 17-year-old David Guinane has always loved cycling having started the sport at an early age.
When his Mum and Dad said they were taking on Fitz’s Challenge, Canberra’s toughest cycling event, he knew he wanted to be a part of it.
"Fitz’s sounds like a good thing to do as a family,” David said. “I wanted to take on a challenge so I’ve been training and doing some 100km rides. I think I’ll be ok."
David is also raising funds for The Kids’ Cancer Project, a charity that funds ground breaking childhood cancer research. More Australian children die from cancer than any other disease. In fact, 950 children aged between 0-18 are diagnosed each year. So far, David has raised $865 for the cause.
"My family and friends have been really supportive, everyone has donated and it has been great to get that level of support,” David said. “I’ve been surprised by the generosity, I thought people might just donate small amounts."
"My grandmother passed away from cancer before I was born so my Mum has always been keen to support cancer research,” David continued. “It’s important to invest in research because I believe a cure for cancer will eventually be discovered and I want to do what I can to speed up the process."

Trinity College is Irelands most famous and oldest University, it is located at College Green on Dublin’s Southside.
The college was founded in 1592 when a small group of citizens received a charter from Queen Elizabeth to find a University. The city corporation granted them a large amount of land, which had been abandoned for many years.
Constructions began to take place by workmen and fellow students with then consisted of one small square but during the 15th century the community increased, in the late 17th century; Ireland entered a period of great turmoil, which disrupted college life, all the teachers and students were expelled and the college was converted into a barracks for James II’s soldiers.
The 18th Century was more peaceful so they began rebuilding the college as the Library began being built in 1712 then later the printing house, the dining hall, then Parliament Square and Botany Bay. The majority of Irelands finest sons graduated from Trinity College such as Jonathan Swift, George Berkeley, Edmund Burke, Oliver Goldsmith, Henry Grattan and the famous Wolfe Tone.
Trinity College is not only a working university it is also open to the general public you can walk around the grounds while students attend there daily lectures and you may also visit the library and visitor centre.
The Library contains over 5 million books including 30,000 current collections of manuscripts, maps, and printed music; it also includes many volumes such as the book of Durrow, the book of Howth and other very ancient texts. The famous Book of Kells is also located in the Library written around the year 800 AD, it is one of the most beautifully illuminated manuscripts in the world, each day a page in the book is turned.

I couldn’t wait to share with you all some exciting news! As you know I have ordered my very first giclee print and I finally picked it up today! There were some complications with the printer (as in it broke) so I had to wait an extra week for them to order a new special printer before it was ready. I’m so happy with the results and so I took some pictures for you 🙂
Here is me with the unveiling of the amazing print! It’s the the first time I’ve seen it though, since I had to see it at the print shop to confirm, but still, that sounds way more dramatic. In any case, I was still happy to see it again. The owner of the print shop (River City Digital Graphics), Jim commented that he liked the painting and that I did a great job with it 🙂 That was so great to hear, especially since he has been painting for a very long time. He also said that I did a great job with the digital image as it looks as good as if it were scanned (I took a picture with my camera with strategic lighting). That also was amazing to hear; it’s always good to get confirmation that you are doing a good job.
Now that I have an archival quality print of this painting, I will be happy to share both with Andi and have him pick which ever one he wants to have. After all, this painting wouldn’t have existed without him.
So that was my exciting news for today. That makes two posts in one day! Yowza 🙂 Until next time!

18 horses will pull the five carriages, with the white-looking Windsor Greys, which are usually reserved for the queen, pulling the newlyweds. The officials also said that if the weather is miserable, the couple will travel in the Glass Coach, which both Diana and Sarah Ferguson used to go from Clarence House to their wedding ceremonies as it has a permanent roof.
Daily Mail reports that Kate Middleton has actually designed it herself. What do you think about it that will Prince William look stunning in dress designed it herself? Yes, of course! According to the different sources Sophie Cranston of Libélula has designed Kate Middleton’s wedding dress. It is said that Kate Middleton is expected to wear two to three other dresses throughout her wedding day.
Kate Middleton reportedly sought out a young British designer to help her construct her dream dress. A few days ago, the Huffington Post columnist Yvonne Yorke announced that she believes the designer of Kate Middleton’s royal wedding dress is British designer Sophie Cranston.
At the end, you should keep in mind, a new report published by the National Enquirer says that Kate Middleton and Prince William both like the idea of adopting a baby from another country.

As far back as I can remember, I have been a lover of breakfast cereal. Growing up, we never were allowed to have sugar cereals*, but that didn't stop me from falling in love with cereal. In recent years, I haven't been eating as much cereal, and months might go by with no cereal in the cabinets. At VidaVeganCon, one of the sponsors was Erewhon/Attune Foods. I hadn't ever heard of them, or tried their cereals, but there was a full-sized box of Buckwheat Hemp cereal in every swag bag. I liked that cereal a lot... but I wouldn't say it was love at first sight.
tiny boxes of sugar cereal at camp
*the one exception to the Sugar Cereal Rule was when we went to Family Camp every summer in the foothills of the Sierras. The camp served those little mini boxes of Kellogg's cereals, and it was a big thrill. My brother's favorite was the fruit loops, and my favorite was Corn Pops. :)
These are not the actual boxes that were sent to me, which are long gone.
Those boxes have been replaced, many times over, with new boxes of cereal love
About a month after VidaVeganCon, I got an email from Attune Foods asking if I'd like to try their new cornflakes - with just two ingredients: Organic corn and salt. To be honest, even after a no-sugar-cereal childhood, I wasn't sure if I would love such a simple recipe - but my love of breakfast cereal was strong enough that I was curious to find out. Attune also asked if there were any other flavors I was curious about, so I checked the website and asked to try the Strawberry Crisp.
corn flakes = yummy heart bubbles
Well, guess what? I am IN LOVE with those cornflakes! They are just magically delicious, and are perfectly, naturally sweet all on their own. They've got a great texture, with just the right amount of crunch... and they never get too soggy. They really are so delicious and great.
And, as for that Strawberry Crisp cereal? I love it too!! There used to be something like this made by Special K (or something like that), and Mr VE&T and I really loved it. I'm so happy to find a new version with fewer and more-wholesome ingredients. The flakes have a nice crispy crunch to them, and have a touch of sweetness. On mornings when I want something a little sweeter, this cereal satisfies my inner kiddo, without going overboard. Also, I must say, there are SO MANY dried strawberries inside! At first, there were so many that I was afraid I was somehow getting all the berries in the whole box in my first bowl of cereal... but upon inspection, the entire box was chock full of little ruby-colored bits. That is so awesome that they haven't skimped on the berries!
The only bummer about these cereals is their price tag. They aren't cheap - probably because of having so many organic ingredients. One local store sells them for $6.50 per box! Whoa. That said, with some careful snooping, I'm often able to find them on sale and stock up. They are definitely my two new favorite cereal flavors - and the cupboards are that much less likely to be cereal-free than they were before.

George had plenty of great songs spread out throughout his solo career. He even had more hits than people seem to remember.
It used to be that you could get all the hits by owning Capitol's "The Best of George Harrison" (which contains half Beatles tracks written and sung by Harrison), "The Best of Dark Horse", "Cloud Nine", and "Traveling Wilburys, Volume 1". "All Things Must Pass" is worth owning for many other great songs, although its 3 big hits are already on the "Best of George Harrison" CD.
Before Harrison died he got his CDs remastered and re-released with added bonus tracks (ex. the de-Spectorized "All Things Must Pass" was released in 2001, and many of his other CDs were released in 2004)--- and these CDs sound amazing and are worth owning over the earlier releases, especially the inferior sounding "Best of George Harrison" CD.
However, "The Best of Dark Horse" CD, which conveniently contained all the hits from the later 1970's (where the "Best of George Harrison" CD left off) up till his last few releases before/after he died, has been discontinued (ain't that always the way???). Now the only way to get songs such as "Crackerbox Palace", "Gone Troppo", "Love Comes to Everyone", "That's the Way It Goes" and "Here Comes the Moon" is to buy the individual CDs they came from... I have done this and I'm not disappointed but it's costly and only true Harrison fans will spend the extra money.
The new "Let It Roll" collection is missing songs that the "Best of Dark Horse" had (see above), but the added songs from Harrison's last releases and the live tracks are wonderful. It's missing "Horse to Water", which was his last recorded song. I just wish it was a 2-CD set... give Harrison his due!!!
This CD is definitely worth owning and most people will be happy enough with this one CD of Harrison's solo songs. The remastered sound is great and consistent throughout, even on the older tracks and live tracks.
But you should still own "All Things Must Pass", "Cloud Nine" and the re-released "Traveling Wilburys" 2 CD/1 DVD set. Really!!!

KarunaHenderson puts cycling skills on ice
Less than a year after deciding to chase an ACT Academy of Sport scholarship in cycling, Henderson has returned to skating and will join the capital's top competitors at the ACT championships today and tomorrow.
As the only skater in the senior division, the teenager faces the strange task of competing against herself.
It would be easy for Henderson to routine lightly with national championships selection almost guaranteed.
Henderson finished fifth at last year's national titles and hopes she can win Australian selection to compete internationally.
''I've been sick quite a lot this year and the last international selection competition I had tonsilitis so this is the first technical competition of the year where I'm not sick,'' Henderson said.
''I find I compete much better and feel in better mindset when I know I have to push it to beat other people, instead of just taking on myself.
''But it's a good experience when you're by yourself. It challenges me to push the boundaries and I am trying to beat my other results.''
The national titles will be in Brisbane in December and Henderson hopes to improve on her past results.
It's not how she felt at the end of last year.
After 12 years on the ice, Henderson decided she needed a change and trialled with the ACTAS Cycling Program as well as winning a 25-kilometre mountain bike Duo Classic event.
Henderson showed promise in cycling, but knew her passion was with skating.
She started skating when she was just five years old and despite being away for only four months, Henderson said getting back on the ice was harder than expected.
''I'm a keen mountain biker and I wanted to give it a go … I was low on motivation for skating last year and it was getting less exciting,'' Henderson said.
''I decided to take a break and see how I would go at cycling.
''I won my age group and ACTAS asked if I was interested in trying, so I did. But it made me realise skating is what I love and it definitely reignited my passion.''
A host of young skaters are vying for national selection. The divisions are spread out over two days.
Competition begins at 6pm today.
Karuna has informed me that she won her title, with 86.45 points
She was the first junior to run 50 handicaps at The Women's and Girls' Jogalong.

Investment in clean technology companies is soaring, but there are signs that a bubble is developing setting the stage for a boom and bust cycle, according to a major new research report out this week.
The 600 page report from US analysts Lux Research found that with 1,500 clean tech start ups now operating worldwide global spending on R&D climbed 9 percent in 2005 to $48bn, while the value of IPOs and venture capital investments in the sector more than doubled to $4.1bn and $1.5bn respectively.
However, the report warned that while these soaring investment levels highlighted the pace at which environmental concerns have reached the business mainstream they also raise the risk of a boom and bust cycle crippling the embryonic market.
"Driven by solar and biofuel deals, the energy segment looks overheated," said Lux Research President Matthew M. Nordan. "There's no way that more than a fraction of the 930 energy start-ups operating worldwide can possibly succeed."
However, Lux Research argued that other clean technology segments could provide more fertile ground for investors. "The attention to energy masks neglected opportunity in other segments," argued Nordan. "For example, the waste segment accounted for 32% of merger and acquisition value last year but only 1% of IPO value and 4% of venture capital."
His comments echo those of Ziad Tassabehji of the Abu Dhabi based Masdar Clean Tech Fund who warned at the recent Library House Clean Tech conference that hype was overtaking good judgement in certain sectors of the clean tech market and diverting investment away from some important green technologies.
"Within weeks of the State of the Union address [in which President Bush unveiled plans for an almost fivefold increase in biofuel use] we saw countless biofuel companies emerge and in my opinion many of those companies are ridiculously over valued," he said. "Other [clean tech] subsectors like carbon sequestration, water purification and energy storage, which there are a real world need for, are seeing far slower deal flow."

In the middle of nature, with locals, enjoying local food
Far from crowds and fast-paced everyday life. In greenery and peace. In intimate connection with nature and people, their culture, life wisdom, customs, and cuisine. Only healthy and fresh produce is used to prepare the delights of traditional Slovenian cuisine. Head to the countryside. Lasting impressions await you.
The countryside in numbers
- there are 850 tourist farms
- 37% of Slovenia’s area lies within the protected NATURA 2000 area
- 2,104 farms are involved with organic farming
- there are 140,000 bee families
- 80–90 million litres of wine are produced
- there are 8,936 hectares of orchards
- there are 400 tonnes of olive oil produced on 1,600 hectares of oil groves
- there are 170 distinctive and characteristic dishes
- more than 7,000 kilometres of marked hiking trails.
In the countryside, you will be welcomed by friendly hosts, who live in nature and work with nature. The comfortable rooms that they offer are usually furnished with everything that a modern person needs. Certain tourist farms are specialised. There is something for children and families, for bikers and hikers, or you can opt for wine-growing farms or farms devoted to organic food production.
From the garden to your plate
Farms serve food that is mostly produced on the farm itself: fresh seasonal vegetables, meat from the barn, drinks from the vineyard or orchard, and excellent stews and soups. The food is of high quality and the dishes available depend on the season. You can enter the barn with your hosts, learn about the work in the vineyard, in the meadow, or in the cellar.
Different regions have their own distinctive dishes. In the Karst Region, you will be served pršut, a special variety of European prosciuttos. The most widely known dessert in Slovenia is Potica, which can have different fillings, and excellent pogača breads are available in the north-eastern part of Slovenia. World-class wines from three wine-growing areas complement the abundance of flavours.Explore
Various activities are available when you spend your holiday in the countryside. Here, you can go horseback riding, head off on a biking trip along forest trails, or take a walk across green hillsides. As the dawn breaks, try mowing the lawn, milking cows, or tackling other useful chores in the barn or in the field. You can also indulge in the festivities taking place in the countryside on special occasions.Explore
Spend your holiday with your children differently – in an authentic environment with excellent healthy food. Domestic animals are commonplace in the countryside and children can learn where milk comes from, what garden vegetables taste like, how cheese is made or how bread is baked.
Under a thatched roof
You will be amazed at the various types of traditional Slovenian houses built according to custom and taking into account the local environment. The typical stone yards can be found in the Karst Region, wooden huts for dairy production can be found in the Gorenjska Region and zidanica houses in the Dolenjska Region. Perhaps you would like to stay in a house with earthen plaster and a thatched roof. Such houses can be found in the Prekmurje and Štajerska Regions.
Even more options for active and healthy holidays
You can supplement your holiday in the countryside with a trip up the nearby hills, or enjoy a bike ride. As you wander around, you can check out the natural and cultural features.
To the highest peaks
The path to the mountains always rewards you with incredible views of Alpine peaks. Head to the highest mountain of Slovenia, Mt. Triglav, located in the middle of the Julian Alps, or to the popular peaks in the Karavanke Alps and the Kamnik and Savinja Alps.
Hiking in the hills
Head to green forests. You can hike on easy trails or you can be challenged by high mountain peaks. Numerous hiking trails are close to towns, so you can simply take various one-day trips.
Road biking is very common in Slovenia. Numerous trails run on various types of terrain and in a clean natural environment, so you can select a different experience each time.

April 24, 2009 --In tough economic times work stress may be hard to avoid but it's stressing out your heart. That's because stress not only has been shown to increase the risk of a first heart attack but also a second. Researchers reporting in the Journal of the American Medical Association say work stress is bad for the heart because it causes your body to be in a state of high arousal all the time. That can raise blood pressure, increase adrenaline and inflammation and narrowing of blood vessels.
Scientists say, so far, they have no solution but recommend exercising and relaxation techniques.

David Carpenter is on the move — again.
The East Fairmont graduate and former West Virginia baseball standout was traded for a second time this season on Sunday, dealt from the Toronto Blue Jays to the Boston Red Sox as part of a compensation package for manager John Farrell.
Carpenter, a right-handed reliever, only spent three months in the Toronto organization after being acquired from the Houston Astros as part of 10-player trade on July 20.
The 27-year-old pitched in 33 games, just three with the Blue Jays, this season. He also had 23 minor league appearances split over his time with Toronto and Houston.
In 67 career appearances in the majors, Carpenter is 1-5 with one save and a 5.70 ERA. He has 60 strikeouts in as many innings.
Boston will be Carpenter’s fourth professional organization. The St. Louis Cardinals drafted him as a catcher in the 12th round in 2006 and converted him to pitching two years later.
David Carpenter is on the move — again.
Second-ranked Bellarmine holds off FSU, 81-73: PHOTOS
Veteran Bellarmine (Ky.) University coach Scott Davenport looked a bit like he’d been through a war Thursday evening after his No. 2-ranked Knights squared off with Fairmont State at the Joe Retton Arena.
That’s because he had.
FSU took unbeaten Bellarmine to the wire here last night before falling, 81-73.
Fairmont Senior bullies RCB with defense, wins 77-33: PHOTOS
They say defense wins championships.
If that’s the case, Fairmont Senior may be well on its way when it comes time for the state tournament.
But for now, the Lady Polar Bears (5-1, 3-0 Big 10) focused their stingy defense on Robert C. Byrd (3-2, 2-2 Big 10).
HERTZEL COLUMN: Bob Huggins has a way with words
West Virginia University’s Bob Huggins is a throwback as a coach, almost in every way, and this is not meant as a criticism.
Oh, he’s on Twitter and he’s certainly more proficient with his cell phone than is yours truly, who still has yet to figure out how to get his Hotmail account on his phone.
FURFARI COLUMN: Dr. McKown among most-respected administrators in field
A handsome young man, who had earned All-State honors twice as a football halfback at Wayne County High School, was West Virginia University’s starting center fielder on its baseball team in 1953-54-55-56.
Holmes making strides for WVU
As the play developed, the Delaware State player found herself on a breakaway, dribbling down the court, far ahead of the field.
If this had been the slalom in the upcoming winter Olympics, you would have been saying that the only thing between her and the gold medal was a fall.
North Marion survives East’s rally to win, 54-47: PHOTOS
“Backstreet Boys! Backstreet Boys! Backstreet Boys!” the East Fairmont student section jeered at North Marion’s basketball team Wednesday night.
Perhaps it was a jab at the Huskies’ blond haircuts. Maybe they were comparing their masculinity to that of a ’90s boy band. Or it could be that “The Swarm,” as the section calls itself, was simply trying to get the basketball players’ minds off the game.
Second-ranked Bellarmine visits FSU
When Fairmont State takes the floor at 6 p.m. today against second-ranked Bellarmine, in a lot of ways the Falcons will be looking in the mirror.
Turnarounds: In 2005, Bellarmine coach Scott Davenport took over a Knights team that finished last in the Great Lakes Conference. He has since turned the team into a perennial contender.
HERTZEL COLUMN: Bussie stands tall in the face of adversity
Once Big 12 play comes around for West Virginia University’s women’s basketball team, Asya Bussie is going to have to stand tall for the Mountaineers, which she should have no trouble doing.
She stands, after all, 6-feet, 4-inches.
WVU women roll by Delaware State, 109-47
The basketball, as so often had happened on this particular Wednesday, started toward the Delaware State basket, only to be interrupted in its journey by the hand at the end of the long arm of Lanay Montgomery for one of seven West Virginia University blocks on the night.
WVU announces four junior college signings
Quarterback Skyler Howard of Riverside (Calif.) heads a class of four junior college players who will enroll in West Virginia University in January and receive grants-in-aid for the fall semester.
Howard is expected to compete with Clint Trickett, Paul Millard and Ford Childress, along with incoming freshman William Crest from Baltimore Dunbar High.

Professor Michael Littman of Princeton University, who is a consultant on our Neural Space Navigator NASA Phase I SBIR, has the gimbaled camera in action! Check out the video.
The high dynamic range camera is mounted on a pan/tilt mechanism that uses stepping motors with harmonic drives. Harmonic drives have zero backlash. The camera assembly is 17 cm tall.
The Neural Space Navigator uses a neural network for terrain relative navigation during landings or takeoffs. Otherwise it uses the angles between planetary horizons or centers and stars combined with planetary chord widths for navigation measurements. The system uses an Unscented Kalman Filter and an Inertial Measurement Unit for both navigation and attitude determination. Contact us for more information!
Optical navigation, using the Earth’s chord width and angles between nadir and stars, is an alternative to GPS based navigation for autonomous spacecraft. The Optical Navigation System, developed under a NASA contract, is well suited for this application.
In the Spacecraft Control Toolbox, we provide an easy-to-use demo script in the 2014.1 release that shows you how to implement optical navigation. The system uses Unscented Kalman Filters (also known as sigma point filters) with non-linear dynamics and measurement models.
ukf is a data structure that includes all filter information. Measurements are passed as data structures to UKFUpdate which have pointers to the measurement functions. In this way, any type of measurement can be used in the filter and introduced at any time.
The following plots show some results from the script. The first shows the orbit and the estimated orbit which are essentially the same.
The second shows the position errors. Of course, actual errors would depend on the accuracy of the sensors, particularly the Earth sensor. Great care needs to be taken when setting up the UKF parameters. As you can see, the largest errors are at perigee and if the UKF parameters are not set properly, the filter might think a hyperbolic orbit was a valid solution!
