Riversdale, on the shores of the Anacostia, near Riverdale, Maryland, was begun Henry Joseph Stier in 1801 and completed by his daughter, Rosalie Stier Calvert over the course of 10 years. Rosalie's letters to her father, collected in the book, "The Mistress of Riversdale", by Margaret Calcott, provide a vivid glimpse into the culture and politics of the time, as well as a detailed record of the construction of the Mansion. Rosalie's son, Charles Benedict, agriculturalist and U.S. Congressman, expanded the estate.
As a work of art these prints are worth purchasing in their own right. For those of you interested in building a historically inspired house, these plans offer a wealth of information. Riversdale boasts a very high level of classical ornamentation and these drawings capture it in accurate detail. Columns, arches, cornices, door trims, window openings - all are carefully drawn to scale. Key plans on some pages provide a basic floor layout but are not fully detailed and dimensioned. Riversdale, is truly a grand country house. But its details could be applied to classical inspired designs in the city or the country.
Please visit my other listings for many other drawings I am offering. I have house plans in wide variety of styles including Colonial, Craftsman, and Prairie, as well as plans of architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Irving Gill, Purcell & Elmslie and others.

But your local builder or architect should be able to adapt these drawings and add to them as necessary. What they do provide is accurate design information about a REAL Antebellum house, not a pseudo-historic tract house as you will find in the house plan magazines on your supermarket shelf

Slight recovery, breath, a light at the end of the tunnel. The Federal Expenditure Budget Project (PPEF) 2023 can be described as a discreet or incipient recovery for the institutions and entities that have to do with the telecommunications sector in Mexico.
The strong cuts and austerity of the years 2020, 2021 and 2022 – undoubtedly caused by the pandemic – seem to have been left behind, but in most cases without recovering the budget levels prior to the pandemic, except in very precise institutions supported by the government.
From the recent review of each of the institutions and dependencies involved in the telecommunications sector, a classification can be obtained from those that are recovering, those that are strengthened, those that are forgotten, and those that are mysterious. All this, based on the data obtained from the Economic Programmatic Functional Analysis and the Economic Administrative Analysis of the PPEF, according to the table shown as part of this article. Let’s see each case.
Those who recover:
The Federal Institute of Telecommunications (IFT), chaired by Javier Juárez Mojica, an autonomous constitutional body that has been frequently questioned and attacked by President AMLO, will have a slight recovery of 7.69% in its budget for 2023, remaining at 1,680 million pesos, compared to 1,560 million pesos in 2022.
The other institution that recovers slightly is the Telecommunications Investment Promotion Agency (Promtel), directed by María de Lourdes Coss, dependent on the Secretariat of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation (SICT) and responsible for monitoring the installation of the Shared Network of Altán Redes, now commanded by Carlos Lerma. By 2023, Promtel will exercise 141.4 million pesos, an increase of 2.1%, but still far from its best budget of 173.8 million pesos (2018).
The first strengthened entity is the Coordination of the National Digital Strategy (EDN) of the Office of the Presidency of the Republic, headed by Emiliano Calderón. Its budget for next year will be 44 million pesos, clearly insufficient to execute the EDN that was published in September 2021, and that has not had a greater impact and repercussion on the digitization of Mexico.
The most favored state company is CFE Telecomunicaciones e Internet para Todos, a production company affiliated with the Federal Electricity Commission, which will enjoy a budget of 10,911 million pesos, mainly for the deployment of infrastructure and the installation of antennas in areas and localities without telephone service and mobile Internet.
In this space we report that President López Obrador expects CFE TEIT to install 5,000 antennas, supported by the Army by identifying military barracks and camps to install towers and bring the Internet to various populations.
The surprise and who is doing better is Telecomunicaciones de México (Telecomm), directed by María del Rocío Mejía. In 2023 it will have a budget of 1,173 million pesos, the largest in its history, an increase of 53.4% compared to 2022.
Telecomm depends on the SICT and offers telecommunications and financial services through 1,700 telegraph branches. It operates the Bicentennial Satellite of the Mexsat Satellite System to offer security, government, education, health and economic services. It also has a fiber optic network. Recently, it enabled 47 branches where the state company CFE Telecomunicaciones e Internet para Todos began to sell its SIM cards with the mobile phone service.
By the way, the Satellite System will have 133.4 million pesos allocated for 2023. Currently, the capacity of the Bicentennial Satellite is at 100%, occupied by national security agencies and for social coverage in geographical areas where commercial telecommunications operators do not arrive.
The Federal Commission for Economic Competition (Cofece), chaired by Brenda Gisela Hernández, deserves a separate mention, not because it regulates the telecommunications sector, but because it has begun to get involved in the regulation of certain digital services and companies. Its budget will be 689.9 million pesos, and it is the institution that has had the most budgetary stability. Despite the attacks from the Federal Executive and the omission in the appointment of commissioners to complete the Plenary Session of Cofece, it is striking that so far the 4T government has not reduced its budget.
The main forgotten office is the Coordination of the Information and Knowledge Society of the SICT, formerly responsible for the Connected Mexico program that came to install 101,000 public Internet sites. It preserves a few budget crumbs of 19.6 million pesos for personal services, that is, to pay some people who survive in that instance despite the fact that it no longer operates.
The Mexican Space Agency, led by Salvador Landeros Ayala, is responsible for sustaining a sovereign and sustainable space infrastructure for earth observation, navigation, and broadband satellite communications. It will have a budget of 68.9 million pesos, an improvement over the last four years, but without reaching the 2014 figure (112.8 million pesos).
The mysterious entity is the Undersecretary of Communications of the SICT. Despite the fact that President AMLO announced his disappearance since August 2020, he continues to appear in the 2021, 2022 and 2023 budgets with operating expenses and personal services (salaries). For 2023, it has been assigned 199.9 million pesos.
At the time, the secretary Jorge Arganis Díaz, head of the SCT, clarified that “we have a restructuring, the Undersecretary of Communications is going to disappear, the office, but not the functions, we are going to rearrange those.” In its splendor (2015), the Undersecretariat for Communications had resources of 7,915 million pesos.
Finally, the General Directorate of Telecommunications and Broadcasting Policy of the SICT will tend to
It will be an amount of just 58.6 million pesos, to outline the telecommunications policy of the government of the Fourth Transformation.

It brings together scholars from girls' studies and children's literature, fields that have traditionally conducted their research separately, and the collaboration showcases the breadth and complexity of girl-related studies. Contributors from disciplines such as sociology, literature, education, and gender studies combine these disciplinary approaches in novel ways with insights from international studies, postcolonial studies, game studies, and other fields. Several of the authors engage in activist and policy-development work around girls who experience poverty and marginalization. Each essay is concerned in one way or another with the politics of girlhood as they manifest in national and cultural contexts, in the everyday practices of girls, and in textual ideologies and agendas. In contemporary Western societies girls and girlhood function to some degree as markers of cultural reproduction and change. The essays in this book proceed from the assumption that girls are active participants in the production of texts and cultural forms; they offer accounts of the diversity of girls' experience and complex significances of texts by, for, and about girls." -- Publisher's description.

Contradictory to Europe and Africa relation in history, Chinese and African co-existence is of peace and growth. This relationship between Asian countries and Africa documented from the early 14th relations to the current and massive 21st century.
This relation has seen Chinese views and values to be adopted increasingly by emerging African economies. The financial crisis that hit the world finance in 2008 had a minute impact in the Chinese economy. This reason and the persistent effort of the Chinese government led to chance in mentality of head of states to shift from the western globalization to the Far East.
To aid in this overall shift of culture a verity of tools has been implemented in the African community. These include collaboration in the sector of trade, communication and education. This strategy is planned to minimalism the negative impact of cultural shock to both parties. The 2015 Chinese year celebration in South Africa is a prime example. This event included a verity of Chinese cultural activities.
Industrialization just happens to be exactly what many African countries are aiming for as well The Chinese have invested a very large amount of resources in every corner of the continent— in infrastructures in trade and commerce, communication technology and in manufacturing. Although these are somewhat main investments they are not the only one. Real-estate and the hospitality industry are on the rise too.
The relation is no limited to the above stated. China and Africa are also working in the peace and security sectors. The increase economic condition cannot come to full realization if the security environment is no a stable one.
China’s hunger for agricultural goods, and perhaps for farm land, may grow as China’s population expands and the middle class becomes richer. This demand could fuel a new and large young workforce for African population.
Although the above are all advantages for the growth of the poverty stricken land, there are some who question some of the policies and agreement between the heads of state. and the Chinese investors. Fair pay; fair opportunity in the investing sectors; environmental concerns; and the non-transferring of skills are some of the question relayed by concerned citizens. They argue that relations with Chinese government are of the state-to-state deal— this doesn’t seem beneficiary to the common who are actually living working in that particular African county. There have been reports of blocking deals based on these reason.
As to any given relationship and co-existence there are highs and lows. With the slowing of global economic growth due to the fluctuate price of oil many are turning their head to Africa. For the young and enthusiastic this is a huge opportunity both to earn a decent living and advance own knowledge with experience.

December 24: Eight people were killed when police opened fire on demonstrators in Sape Port, Bima, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Hundreds more people were wounded. Ten people have been arrested by the police. Most of the people who were attacked ran away towards the mountain and many are still in hiding.
Thousands of people had been blockading the port for five days in opposition to exploration work being carried out by gold-mining company PT Sumber Mineral Nusantara, 95% owned by Australian company Arc Exploration. Protests had halted exploration at Bima through most of the year.
Call for solidarity with Bima Farmers.
To everyone who has heard about how fed up the people of Bima are, and how tenaciously they reject mining. To everyone who has ears and has received the news of the brutal police attack that forced the people occupying the Sape port to disperse. To all hearts that are still love to live free from domination of the state and capital. To all rebels that are hiding in the darkness. The people of Lambu, Bima, West Nusa Tenggara have shown us an action without compromise, of how they refuse to let their land and livelihood be swapped for mining machinery and dreams of gold. A brave attitude that is not only shown in writings, but has now blossomed and overflowed as a tempest of anger at the sea’s edge, in Sape port. Now that bravery has been attacked by the henchmen of those who hold the power and money. They have done this brutally, as is their habit.
We extend our deepest condolences for those that have fallen in the struggle.
A Note about the Mining Company.
PT Sumber Mineral Nusantara is 95% owned by an Australian company called Arc Exploration (www.arcexploration.com.au), based in Chatswood, Sydney. Their gold mining concession in Bima covers some 250 km2, and the same company has another gold project in East Java and is also exploring in West Papua, in a partnership with Anglo American. It is only one of several companies facing mass community resistance in Bima, the other companies are mostly concerned with mining Iron sands from the coast.

Stotland, who is an expert on reproductive psychiatry and women’s issues, told the audience that psychiatrists can play key roles in helping people deal with and recover from their experiences of sexual harassment and/or sexual abuse. While she noted that identifying a patient’s sexual harassment history is important, she emphasized that such questions must be asked with empathy and sensitivity. If a patient has had such an experience, the psychiatrist’s focus should be on helping the patient deal with her reactions to her experience, such as self-recrimination, shame, guilt, and/or rage. “We need to validate their reactions,” she said.
Stotland recommended that psychiatrists should primarily use psychotherapy during the early stages of therapy and prescribe medications to patients with severe, acute symptoms. Once a good rapport has been reached, medications can be given on a case-by-case basis.
Risk of sexual harassment is not limited to patients, and Stotland also provided some suggestions for women psychiatrists to help protect themselves.
“Before accepting any job, get as much information as possible about the power structure of the employer and its sexual harassment history,” she stressed. Stotland added that women should also be aware of what support services are available at the institution or in the surrounding area should any problems arise.
To read more about sexual harassment in psychiatry, see the Psychiatric News article “Sexual Harassment Still Occurs in Psychiatry, Says Women’s Caucus Leader” and the Psychiatric Services article “Gold Award: Integrated Psychiatric Treatment for Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence at the Bronx Family Justice Center.”

You’ve heard the cliché. It’s not what you earn, it’s what you spend. Usually, it’s invoked during discussions of making ends meet on a paycheck. But a new study shows that it’s key to understanding what you’ll need in retirement too.
The research, based on surveys tracking the actual spending of the same 5,000 older households from 2001 through 2007, shows that median household spending declines steadily and dramatically as folks age. Compared to the expenditures of a household headed by a 65-year-old, spending falls off 19% by age 75, 34% by age 85, and 52% by age 98, finds Sudipto Banerjee, a research associate at the Employee Benefit Research Institute. That decline takes place despite the fact that one component of household spending – medical expenses---rises. But increased health costs are more than offset by declines in spending on entertainment and transportation costs, as aging seniors go out less and perhaps give up their cars. “As you age, your health declines and you might not consume what you thought you would. The doctor might say you can’t take that cruise,’’ Banerjee observes.
For retirement wonks, Banerjee presents detailed consumption numbers based on data collected in the long-running Health and Retirement Study, administered by the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan. But his work also holds some valuable lessons for middle class and affluent baby boomers planning their own retirements---and for newish retirees.
Don’t worry about replacing 80% of your income.
You’ve no doubt heard the common advice that you should aim to replace 80% of your income in retirement. But that’s a meaningless figure, since what matters is being able to maintain your pre-retirement standard of living. Upper and middle income folks may need less than 80% of their working income to do that, Banerjee notes, because they’ll no longer have large chunks coming out of their paychecks for 401(k) contributions and payroll taxes and won't have work-related expenses (for example commuting and clothes.) Plus, assuming they did save, they’ll now be drawing down their savings instead of adding to them. By contrast, poor workers who haven’t been able to save and are living close to the bone even before retirement, may need nearer 100% income replacement.
Here’s a telling statistic. In the 50-plus working population in the HRS survey, the median annual income was $53,548 (in 2010 dollars) while median spending was $39,945. Among the retired population, the median income was $30,480 and the median spending, $31,365. Put another way, the median income for retirees was only 57% of the income of working age folks, while the median spending in retirement was 79% of the working median---in other words, close to that much ballyhooed 80%.
Enjoy life (and spend a little) while you can.
Sure, if you’re counting on your investments to help you make it through retirement and the market crashes, maybe you should be ready to postpone the luxury trip to Europe. But don’t wait too long. You won’t need as much income at 85 as you do at 65, and you may not have the same zest for foreign travel. “How well you are determines the quality of your life and the amount you consume. With age, you’re not able to consume as much. If you’re saying you need 80% of (pre-retirement) income at 65, you won’t need 80% as you age,’’ says Banerjee.
Indeed, as much as the retirement gurus like to lecture boomers about being financially unprepared for retirement, a survey last year suggested that baby boomers are more realistic about the money problems they might face in retirement than the coming health challenges.
Long term care insurance could liberate you.
There’s yet another intriguing finding in Banerjee’s work. Retirees who had long term care insurance spent a lot more than those without such insurance. So what? You have to be reasonably well-off to afford the stiff premiums. True enough. But even when Banerjee controlled for wealth and income, he found that those with insurance spent more. That suggests that those who haven’t bought insurance are spending less than they might, because they’re worried about saving for nursing home and other long term care bills. Retired college graduates, for example, had a median income in 2007 of $53,051 and median spending of $45,071. (This group already had median household wealth of $446,073 including home equity, and median wealth of $234,701 not including equity.) Okay, maybe they’re saving more to help their grandkids pay for college. (As a parent of two college students, I can applaud that.) But just as likely they’re saving to make sure they’re not a burden on their own kids should they need expensive long term care.
Fixed annuities are worth considering.
Long term care insurance isn’t right for everyone, nor is everyone healthy or wealthy enough to buy it. But Banerjee’s findings on long term care insurance suggest that seniors who have some confidence they won’t run through their money might feel freer to spend when they want to. Banerjee didn't look at ownership of annuities in his spending study. But owning annuities might produce similar confidence, particularly if you don't have a traditional fixed monthly pension (other than Social Security) to rely on in your very old age. In an intriguing new column, The Case For Dying Broke, William Baldwin argues that at age 70, you should put a third to half of your money into fixed annuities, using a sliver of that money to buy an annuity that kicks in when you reach 80---as a protection against inflation. It’s worth reading---and considering.


This traditional 19th century landscaped garden was Olbius Hippolyte Antoine Riquier’s gift to the town in 1868. It comprises of 17 acres of lawns, large trees, winding alleys and even a lake and a greenhouse designed for tropical plants and birds. A convention linking it to Paris’ Jardin d’Acclimatation defines the garden as a place to grow, create and study the adaptation of tropical species to the climate of the region. The garden plans were drawn in 1869 by landscape architects Pierre Barillet-Deschamps and Georges Aumont who also worked on many Parisian gardens. Many exotic species of palm trees, bamboos and succulents are found there, as are a small zoo and a playground for children.


TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kioxia Corporation, a world leader in memory solutions, today announced new consumer SSDs scheduled to be released in the third quarter of 2023. The EXCERIA PLUS G3 Series will leverage PCIe® 4.0 technology and offer up to 2 terabytes (TB) of capacity. The new series is well-suited to mainstream users of high performance gaming PCs, desktops and notebooks, bringing the speed and affordability that they require.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Matt Davidson broke out from a slow Cactus League start with three hits and three RBIs, including his first spring home run, as the White Sox cruised to a 4-2 victory over the D-backs on Thursday at Camelback Ranch.
Davidson started the spring with three hits in his first 20 at-bats, but his single off of Patrick Corbin scored Melky Cabrera in the first, and his single in the third brought home Peter Bourjos. He then homered in the fifth.
Davidson's output was in support of starter Lucas Giolito, who consistently worked behind in the count and gave up some hard contact, but allowed one run on three hits over four innings.
"The defense really worked well behind me and Kevan [Smith] did a really good job behind the plate," said Giolito, the club's No. 2 prospect per MLBPipeline.com. "I was spiking a ton of fastballs, and he got behind all of them and he didn't let anything get through.
"I was trying to work through things. It's one of those days you go out there, you don't really have your best stuff, but you compete and the defense is fantastic behind me, It's one of those days where you've got to give it up to the defense."
Corbin, who is among six pitchers fighting for an Arizona rotation spot, yielded three runs on six hits over 3 ⅓ innings with four strikeouts. J.J. Hoover, who is competing for a bullpen spot with the D-backs, notched a strikeout in two-thirds of an inning of scoreless relief.
Chris Owings launched his first home run of the spring leading off the second against Giolito, while Jake Lamb also hit a solo homer. Smith homered for the White Sox.
D-backs up next:Taijuan Walker, who has not allowed a run in two spring outings, will start for the D-backs on Friday, as they play host to the Brewers at 1:10 p.m. MST at Salt River Fields, live on MLB.TV.
White Sox up next:Reynaldo Lopez makes his third Cactus League start on Friday against the Brewers in Maryvale, Ariz., having allowed six runs on seven hits over his first 4 ⅓ innings. Dan Jennings, Jace Fry, Michael Ynoa and Brian Clark are also scheduled to pitch in the 2:05 p.m. CT contest.

US debt ceiling shenanigans, a repeated source of market volatility over the past decade or so, are rearing their head once again. After tentative progress was made last week negotiations look to have reached an impasse. Reportedly, the Republicans are continuing to push for sizeable reductions in government spending, particularly in areas such as healthcare, education, and housing, while also maintaining high spending on defense and the Trump-era corporate tax cuts. The two sides have agreed to resume talks with President Biden and House Speaker McCarthy set to meet on Monday, but things clearly remain fluid.
The clock is ticking for a deal to be reached. This issue should remain front-of-mind for investors (and be a source of volatility) over the near-term given the importance a resolution is reached and the potential chain of events that could be unleashed if it isn’t. As shown in the chart below, the US TED spread (i.e. the difference between the yield on short-dated US Government and Corporate debt) has shifted significantly, with nervous participants demanding a higher risk premium to hold US government debt over the next month due to the greater perceived chance of default.
Some background & the current state of play
For those unfamiliar, the ‘debt ceiling’ is the statutory limit on the amount of debt the US Federal Government can issue to fund its operations and pay its obligations. Once it is reached the government cannot borrow additional money without Congressional approval. Raising it should be a mechanical process whereby the ‘ceiling’ is increased (or suspended) as it draws near given government spending rises over time with inflation and a larger economy, and as the US remains mired in a budget deficit. The last time the US recorded a budget surplus was in 2001. As shown below, the debt ceiling was increased repeatedly throughout history, however the process has become quite challenging over recent years due to the fractured nature of US politics.
Importantly, if the debt ceiling isn’t raised (or suspended) then the US Treasury cannot meet future financial obligations, including payments for social security, Medicare, and interest on the US’ burgeoning debt pile. Failure to meet an obligation could trigger a ‘technical’ default by the US Government. Past political brinksmanship has meant that the US has approached this Rubicon, but never crossed it. In August 2011 and October 2013 things went down to the wire, with the disorderly 2011 episode ultimately triggering a US credit rating downgrade by S&P.
In terms of the current state of play, US public debt reached the ceiling in January 2023. The US Treasury has been employing “extraordinary measures” such as dipping into cash reserves or suspending the reinvestment of securities into public benefit funds to keep paying the bills since then. Unfortunately, these measures have a limit. And we look to be in the home stretch with the ‘x-date’ (i.e. when the US won’t be able to pay an upcoming obligation) coming into view. Just like a simpler household budget, the ‘x-date’ is sensitive to incoming revenue and expenditure flows, so no concrete day can be given. US Treasury Secretary Yellen has stated that the ‘x-date’ could be as early as 1 June, though we would point out that the US Treasury has in the past tended to be conservative in its assessment (possibly to create an added sense of urgency to get a deal over the line).
According to the bipartisan Congressional Budget Office there is a “significant risk” that it occurs “at some stage in the first two weeks of June”. It has also been suggested that if there is enough cash and/or the US Treasury can juggle the books by pulling levers such as prioritizing debt repayments over paying federal employee wages or social security payments until 15 June, then the quarterly corporate tax receipts that are scheduled to flow into the government’s coffers and additional “extraordinary measures” that become available could kick the can down the road to late-July. Nevertheless, as things stand, we are talking about a potential ‘x-date’ window of weeks, not anything longer, with an agreement needed to avoid unnecessary turbulence and negative impacts that could compound the unfolding slowdown due to higher interest rates, tighter credit conditions, and cost of living pressures.
Market reactions: past & present
Sanity prevailing and some type of deal being struck, either to raise or temporarily suspend the debt ceiling, seems to be the base case for most market participants. However, this would require give and take from both sides of US politics, and as the recent breakdown in talks shows the path forward may have more twists and turns to come. Indeed, there look to be many parallels with the current situation and the 2011 experience given the late start to official negotiations and hostile politics. Back then the Republican-controlled House of Representatives (who clearly have an eye on the 2024 Presidential Election this time around) insisted on budget cuts without tax increases, while the Democratic-controlled Senate and the Obama Administration sought a balanced approach.
Financial markets move on the probability of an outcome, and what is factored in matters. The longer the current tricky negotiations drag out and the closer the ‘x-date’ becomes, the higher anxiety levels (and volatility) are likely to go, in our view, especially as many asset classes don’t look to be pricing in much of a downside scenario. Looking back, we found that in past more difficult debt ceiling episodes, as investor nervousness grew US equity markets and bond yields fell as risks of a negative outcome lifted. In FX, while the USD Index initially lost a little ground (before bouncing back) this was predominately against currencies like the EUR and JPY, cyclical ones like the AUD that are correlated to risk assets such as equities declined. Although we would highlight that the broader environment at the time also needs to be considered. During the 2011 iteration it wasn’t just US issues at work. The Eurozone sovereign debt crisis was raging with Greece in the middle of getting bailed out.
As discussed above, we believe volatility could lift if the current impasse drags on and odds of a US default rose. The flow through drag on growth expectations, coupled with a possible ‘risk off’ reaction (i.e. equities, bond yields, and commodity prices lower, and wider credit spreads) could, in our judgment, weigh on the AUD and broader Asian FX currencies. Our analysis finds that the AUD’s correlation to the US equity market over the past year has been on par with where it was in the year ahead of the 2011 debt ceiling episode.
Indeed, even on the assumption that a debt ceiling deal is reached, we doubt any knee-jerk rebound in the AUD will extend too far. Fundamentally, the global economy is slowing, with China’s post lockdown recovery faltering. We are anticipating the global downturn to intensify over the next few months as tighter credit conditions constrain activity, which in turn should drag on commodity demand. And in the US we remain of the view that while the US Fed rate hiking cycle may have reached its end, a shift to a cutting cycle could be a long way off. We think that pricing for multiple rate cuts by the US Fed over H2 is unlikely to materialise given the US’ inflation problem and tight labour market, and especially if the debt ceiling can be resolved without substantial reductions in government spending. In our opinion a further paring back of US rate cut bets could give the USD more of a boost.

During exams, I didn't have enough time to cook or make proper meals, and so I was living off of granola bars. I found some safe ones, that were both delicious, and ones I didn't feel obliged to binge on.
These were delicious. The dark chocolate was the perfect amount of sweetness and flavor to satisfy me but not cause me to run for more. I'm also a sucker for anything with coconut!
These granola bars were also magical! They have a distinctive flavor and two bars per package, so I could separate them into two smaller snacks if I wanted too!
Although these aren't granola bars, but fruit bars, they are delicious! Not as great as eating fruit, but so much easier to transport. I love fresh and frozen fruit but they're can be tricky to pack, especially if I need to pack enough for a long day of studying. These were perfect, I could through them into my bag and have something both safe and yummy to munch on while studying.
I hope you're all having a wonderful holiday

Neoplasms of the appendix are rare. They are found in about 1 percent of appendectomy specimens  and account for only about one-half of 1 percent of intestinal neoplasms . Carcinoid tumors are the most common, comprising over 50 percent of appendiceal neoplasms in most series (table 1) .
However, the distribution of appendiceal neoplasms might be changing over time. In a large series of appendiceal tumors derived from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database of the National Cancer Institute between 1973 to 2003, the most frequent histology was a mucinous adenocarcinoma followed by intestinal-type adenocarcinoma; carcinoid tumors comprised only 11 percent (table 2) . The difference in natural history of these different histologies is illustrated by their differing five-year disease-specific survival rates.
The term “carcinoid” is generally applied to neuroendocrine tumors originating in the digestive tract, lungs, or rare primary sites such as kidneys or ovaries. Use of the term carcinoid usually implies well-differentiated histology, but the term can be applied to the rare high-grade or poorly differentiated neuroendocrine tumors. (See "Pathology, classification, and grading of neuroendocrine tumors arising in the digestive system", section on 'Classification'.)
As with other intestinal carcinoid tumors, appendiceal carcinoids can secrete serotonin and other vasoactive substances (table 3). These substances are responsible for the carcinoid syndrome, which is characterized by episodic flushing, wheezing, diarrhea, and right-sided valvular heart disease. Midgut carcinoids (ie, appendix, small bowel) are more commonly associated with the classic carcinoid syndrome than are those that arise in the foregut or hindgut (table 4). More than 90 percent of patients with the carcinoid syndrome have metastatic disease, typically to the liver. (See "Clinical characteristics of carcinoid tumors" and "Clinical features of the carcinoid syndrome".)
Appendiceal carcinoids are detected most commonly in patients in their forties, which is much younger than the average age for other primary malignant appendiceal neoplasms [4-6]. Epidemiologic studies show a slight but consistently higher incidence in women. (See "Clinical characteristics of carcinoid tumors", section on 'Appendix'.)

According to a recent study conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency, Americans alone generate about 500 billion pounds or 250 million tons of municipal solid waste per year.
However the ‘zero waste’ strategy - which focuses on people being aware of their personal trash production and making small adjustments to their daily routines to minimize that amount - is considered one of the fastest and easiest ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
So the city of Arcata is trying to make a difference by aiming to become a zero waste community, and even declared November 15 as zero waste day!
In this LoCO Video Report we take you to the North Coast Co-op in Arcata, which teamed up with various local organizations to honor the day with fun workshops and handy tips on how to start your zero waste journey.
“People think it’s difficult and expensive,” said Shohei Morita, Arcata’s natural resources aide. “But that’s why we’re here, to educate people that it’s not as difficult as they think. And when you do it, it becomes the norm.”

SHANGHAI, China -- If ever a ball carried a personal statement as it streaked past a helpless goalkeeper and pulled taut the twine at the back of the net, it was this one.
Staring down six opponents as time ticked away in the second half of a game in which Brazil had squandered a 2-0 lead and now found itself level against an upstart Australian team, Brazilian striker Cristiane let loose with a shot that threaded its way through the defense and found the back of the net from 20 meters, sending her team through to a semifinal showdown against the United States.
For once, all eyes in a stadium were on Cristiane, and she made sure every pair of them remembered what they saw.
The memorable goal against Australia in the quarterfinal was Cristiane's fourth in four games, tying her with five other players, including Abby Wambach and Brigit Prinz, for the second-most prolific scoring output of the tournament through the quarterfinals.
Of course, even on that prestigious list, Cristiane ceded top billing to her teammate, Marta, whose five goals earned a share of the tournament lead with Norway's Ragnhild Gulbrandsen.
Like Ben and Jerry or Simon and Garfunkel, Marta and Cristiane form a classic partnership that gives the Brazilians their offensive pace. But unlike Abby Wambach and Kristine Lilly, the American duo they'll square off against Thursday in Hangzhou, it's not perceived as a partnership of equals. The 2006 FIFA Player of the Year, Marta has 45 goals in 43 international appearances. In women's soccer, she is the chosen one.
Cristiane is the other one.
Not that those preparing to play against her fall victim to the same trap.
"I think Cristiane is playing very, very well," U.S. coach Greg Ryan said. "I thought she had a much bigger role in the Australia game than Marta did. They both are very, very talented, dangerous players, so I don't think you can lose track of one and focus on the other one, or you're in trouble."
Separated in age by less than a year (Marta is younger by nine months), the two Brazilians inevitably will be measured against each other, and Cristiane, despite 22 goals in 35 international appearances, may always come out as the Pippen to Marta's Jordan.
"Marta does have great people around her, and they're making her good," said U.S. national team member Heather O'Reilly, who was on hand at the Under-19 World Championships in Canada in 2002 when Marta and Cristiane burst on the scene. "One player can't do it by herself."
And their chronological proximity is also part of what makes it such an effective pairing. The Brazilian national team is an almost nonexistent entity in non-World Cup and non-Olympic years, leaving players to fend for themselves at the club level. Marta plays for Umea in Sweden, while Cristiane plays for Wolfsburg in Germany; other teammates are scattered across the globe from France to Japan.
The Brazilians all play football, but they rarely play together, a fact of life that is sometimes readily apparent for a national side that draws fans in with dazzling individual skill and often breaks their hearts with disorganization and discord.
But even at an age that would make them two of the youngest players on the American team (only Stephanie Lopez is younger), Marta and Cristiane have played together far more often than many of their teammates. From the 2002 tournament in Canada to the same event two years later in Thailand, and through the 2003 World Cup and 2004 Olympics, Marta and Cristiane have been paired at the forefront of the Brazilian attack on a regular basis since they were 16 and 17 years old, respectively.
Watch them sense where the other is on the field and make their runs accordingly, and you see a chemistry that goes beyond words or gestures. It's a telepathy the Brazilians have put to good use in China.
"They're playing them pretty far apart on the field," Ryan said. "What they do is they spread the defense out, so you have to deal with one of them on this side and one of them on the other side. ... Now you've got two exceptional players playing 35-40 yards apart and it's like, 'OK, which side are we going to defend on?'"
No matter how much more attention Marta receives, it's not an easy choice.

I'm sorry, guys. I know it's been a few days. We've been dealing with some family issues at home. But that hasn't stopped me from cooking.
I hope you all had a fantastic Memorial day. And a thank you to all of our Veterans (present and past).
Here is a super, super simple side dish. I would do one of the much more in depth recipe, but I really do not feel well. So, you're gonna have to love this short recipe.
1/2 cup of seasoned bread crumbs
2 teaspoons of olive oil
1 teaspoon of paprika
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of onion powder
I hope you all enjoy it. Over the next few days I'm going to do Wheat Bread, Cinnamon Rolls, and Honey Garlic Chicken.


When electing a politician to power, the hope is that the person is apt to represent the community’s best interests. This individual has a responsibility to not only defend the majority but all those that fall under the umbrella he or she is serving. While this is not the case with various lawmakers, Commissioner Esteban Bovo Jr. has demonstrated that he does stand for his people.
Commissioner Esteban Bovo has a history of speaking up for minority groups and advocating for their protection. He has made resolutions that support bills of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuela, Haiti, and Nicaragua. The TPS designation allows eligible nationals from those countries to continue living and working in the United States, as the conditions there are not suitable for prosperity. Venezuela is currently experiencing extreme poverty, violence, and political unrest under the Maduro regime. Haiti has undergone devastating hurricanes, is in economic crisis, and faces political upheaval. Lastly, Nicaraguan citizens find themselves in danger due to their democratic rights taken and a government that persecutes those that speak against it. Bovo has made it a priority to protect these individuals and ensure that they do not go back to those conditions.
Furthermore, the Commissioner Esteban Bovo is aware of the issues that his community faces. One group that often gets neglected is that of Holocaust Survivors. Despite being rarely spoken about, approximately 80,000 of them live in the United States. However, it is embarrassing that one-third of this population lives at or below the poverty level. Bovo acted and urged Congress to pass the Trauma-Informed Modernization of Eldercare for the Holocaust Survivors Act and the Holocaust Insurance Accountability Act. As said by the Commissioner, “While we can never fully right the wrongs of the Holocaust, we must never stop pursuing justice whenever and wherever we can.”
Recently the Commission approved Bovo’s resolution declaring a Biscayne Bay Emergency and establishing the means and resources to address the issues concerning its health and well-being. The Bay is a significant place for Floridians, not just for leisure but also for economic reasons. Due to the decrease of seagrass over the decades, there is less oxygen in the water. This condition likely resulted in thousands of dead fish floating in the Bay in September. Thankfully, the Commissioner took action on behalf of this issue.
With COVID-19 bringing hardships to so many parts of the country, Commissioner Bovo once again made sure to have his people’s back. He resolved for the County to prohibit rent increases within developments funded through the County’s affordable housing programs. He said, “Many of our neighbors are struggling to make ends meet as unemployment continues to grow as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.” Increasing rent may have been devastating for many in the current circumstances.
The actions described above show that this man cares for his people. He refuses to stand back and let things take their course; instead, he is a man of action that will protect the interests of the entire community.
Commissioner Esteban Bovo is now running for Mayor, for more information on his platform or his campaign please visit: https://www.stevebovo.com/

Is Question Hour mentioned in rules of procedure?
It is not mentioned in the parliamentary rules book. Under this, MPs can raise matters without any prior notice. The zero hour starts immediately after the question hour and lasts until the agenda for the day (i.e. regular business of the House) is taken up.
What is supplementary question?
Supplementary questions are the follow-up oral questions that may be asked, without prior notice, during ministerial question sessions in both Houses.
What are the types of questions asked in the Lok Sabha?
The questions are of three types, namely,Starred questions: These are distinguished by an asterisk. … Unstarred questions: It requires a written answer and hence, supplementary questions cannot follow. … Short notice questions:
What is the duration of Question Hour?
The notice duration used to be a minimum of 10 days or maximum of 21 days. The Speaker now has the authority to direct answers to a starred question asked by a member in case of his or her absence on the day their name was called.
What is the maximum duration of zero hour?
30 minutesThe total time allocated for Zero Hour is 30 minutes wherein a member gets three minutes to raise the issue. The session should be completed before 1 pm. It was during the 1960s when several issues of national and international importance used to be raised by members of Parliament immediately after Question Hour.
What is the purpose of Zero Hour?
Therefore, the opportunity for MPs to raise national issues without an advance notice became available at 12 pm and could last for an hour until the House adjourned for lunch. This led to the hour being popularly referred to as Zero Hour and the issues being raised during this time as Zero Hour submissions.
What are the three types of questions asked in the question hour?
This hour is known as Question Hour. There are three types of questions: i) Starred questions ii) Unstarred questions iii) Short notice questions.
What are starred questions in Parliament?
Type of Questions (i) Starred Questions- A Starred Question is one to which a member desires an oral answer from the Minister in the House and is required to be distinguished by him/her with an asterisk. Answer to such a question may be followed by supplementary questions by members.
How many questions are there in Parliament?
four typesThere are four types of Questions in Parliament: Per day, only 20 questions can be listed for oral answer. Starred Questions require a notice period of minimum 10 days and a maximum of 21 days and are asked during the Question Hour on the fixed days allotted to that Ministry or Department.
What are the three types of questions?
The Levels of Questions strategy helps students comprehend and interpret a text by requiring them to answer three types of questions about it: factual, inferential, and universal.
What are the 4 types of questions?
In English, there are four types of questions: general or yes/no questions, special questions using wh-words, choice questions, and disjunctive or tag/tail questions. Each of these different types of questions is used commonly in English, and to give the correct answer to each you’ll need to be able to be prepared.
What are the 5 types of questions?
Now let’s move on to the structures for forming five common types of questions.Asking Yes/No Questions. Yes/No questions are the most basic type of question. … Asking “Five W” Questions. … Using Indirect Questions for Polite English. … Asking Tag Questions. … Asking Negative Questions for Confirmation.
What is a zero hour?
In other words, the time gap between the question hour and the agenda is known as zero hour. … Zero hour, which usually starts at 12 noon (it is another rationale to call it Zero Hour in parliamentary parlance), whereby MPs can raise their questions about issues of urgent public importance.
What is meant by the term question hour?
Generally, the first hour of a sitting of the Lok Sabha is devoted to Questions and that hour is called the Question Hour. It has a special significance in the proceedings of Parliament. … It is during the Question Hour that Members can ask questions on every aspect of administration and governmental activity.

Some of you may be aware of the pioneering work of Polly Higgins, and her proposal to that the United Nations should accept ‘Ecocide’ – the damage and destruction of ecosystems – as a fifth ‘crime against peace’. Such a move would allow eco-crimes to be tried at the International Criminal Court, and could have a profound effect on industries blamed for widespread damage to the environment like fossil fuels, mining, agriculture, chemicals and forestry. Supporters also believe it could be used to prosecute climate deniers who distort science and facts to discourage voters and politicians from taking action to tackle global warming and climate change. Incredibly, corporations have ‘rights’, but the planet that sustains them doesn’t.
Now, a European Citizens Initiative has been launched. This is not just another petition; it is one of the first initiatives of this kind to be successfully lodged and was launched yesterday at the European Parliament.
Once 1 million signatures have been collected, both the European Commission and the European Parliament are obliged to consider setting in motion the legislative process to end Ecocide
Ealing Transition supports this important initiative. You can help by adding your name to the petition at http://www.endecocide.eu/, press ‘sign now’ and follow the instructions
Transition Free Press is a newspaper which has been developed to spread the news about all the good work being done by Transition groups throughout the UK and the rest of the world. Ealing Transition is pleased to announce that we are one of the 30+ groups who will be distributing the newspaper. Our subscription will be key to helping get this enormously positive initiative off the ground.
The 24-page paper will be published quarterly. TFP will provide a clear voice reporting on the growing movement to build low carbon, regenerative, and resilient communities. With the Transition movement clearly in focus, it will also report on developments in new economics, relocalisation, food and energy security, social and environmental justice. Unlike the mainstream media, the Transition Free Press will deliver an alternative view of the world, one that isn’t controlled by corporations or wealthy individuals.
You can read the preview issue at http://issuu.com/transitionfreepress.
TFP is produced by a not-for-profit collective and is supported, although not financed, by the Transition Network. While printing and postage costs have almost been covered, funding is needed to ensure the core team can be paid. TFP is therefore seeking crowdfunding via Buzzbnk by 14 February. If you would like to, you can help them with a donation or a subscription. Other Transition-related goodies are available depending on your level of participation. Full details can be found at http://transitionfreepress.org/, and crowdfunding at https://www.buzzbnk.org/ProjectDetails.aspx?projectId=103
Ealing Transition wish you a very happy New Year.
2013 begins on a sobering note as bush fires rage during record temperatures in Australia, and the US National Climate Assessment reveals the profound effect that climate change is already having on the lives of American citizens. The authors of the report have not flinched from naming the culprit: “Global warming is due primarily to human activities, predominantly the burning of fossil fuels,” they state. The need for practical, local action continues to exercise our minds.
Sunday 27th January 7.30pm: Film Showing: A Farm for the Future
With the above in mind, we have decided to re-show this inspiring film about film maker Rebecca Hosking’s exploration of the challenges faced by modern farming.
With her father close to retirement, Rebecca returns to her family’s wildlife-friendly farm in Devon to become the next generation to farm the land. However she is alarmed by how energy-intensive farming is, and realizes that a new way of working may be necessary
With the help of pioneering farmers and growers, she explores ways of farming without high inputs of fossil fuel. In the process, she learns that it is actually nature that holds the key to farming in a low-energy, low carbon future.
As usual, the film will be shown at St Mary’s Church, St Mary’s Road, Ealing W5 5RH. Entry is free however we will ask for donations to help us cover the cost of screening. As usual a selection of warm beverages and cakes / biscuits will be served after the film so we can discuss what we have seen and its implications for our efforts in Ealing.

Texas book signings, lectures and fairs 10/07
In late October I went to Dallas, to lecture at SMU and do critiques with art students there, and I also did a book signing at Passionknit. I spent a half day at the State Faire before heading to Austin for a very different kind of fair, run by the folks at Make and Craft magazines. From Austin I drove with the Knittas to Houston, where I did a signing at Domy bookstore and then lectured at the University of Houston.

PristineHydro vs Kangen Ionizer – WATER IONIZER DEBUNKED
Through over 25 years of research, Glen Caulkins has scientifically proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that all rainwater and all spring water is heavily contaminated… and that every standalone water filter, water ionizer, even reverse osmosis and water distillers are ineffective, obsolete, and actually produce water that is harmful to your health.
A water ionizer removes acids from tap water; producing acid-free tap water. The water is loaded with the same contaminants found in the source water i.e. fluoride, heavy metals, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, disinfection by-products, etc. Check the TDS of the source water with a TDS meter, then check the ionized water, you will find that both have the same TDS…? It’s called hard water!
This is a quote from Dr. Charles Mayo of the Mayo Clinic:
“Water hardness (excess inorganic minerals in solution) is the underlying cause of many, if not all, of the diseases resulting from poisons in the intestinal tract. These (hard minerals) pass from the intestinal walls and get into the lymphatic system, which delivers all of its products to the blood, which in turn, distributes to all parts of the body. This is the cause of much human disease.”
Hard water is your greatest enemy. It takes it’s toll on us and causes severe damage to the body. Crippled joints, repeated surgeries, enlarged hearts, hardened arteries, gall stones, kidney stones, hearing problems, and forgetful minds.
Adding up the cups of coffee, tea, water itself, and the water in food or added through it’s preparation, the average person drinks about a gallon of water per day. At a gallon a day, the average person drinks up to 450, 12 ounce glasses of solids during their life. Think of it… 450 glasses of mineral solids in your system during a lifetime.
Don’t get me wrong, the water ionization was a great step in our understanding of water. It taught us that the acids in water were causing major health complications. However, under close examination a (Laboratory Analysis) we discovered it was merely producing acid free Tap Water! Water Ionizers also remove the beneficial ortho-silicic acid.
The PristineHydro™ Water Filtration System does NOT electrocute your water, they have a patent pending 10 Stage Water Filtration Process that removes 100% of all undesirable contaminates (including BAD acids) then it properly remineralizes, restructures, and recharges the water. The concept of electrocuting dead polluted water with a water ionizer to revive it is pseudo-science. Water ionizers rupture already lifeless water releasing hydroxyl ions. Chemically speaking it is not even natural water anymore, it is more or less a man-made liquid concoction. That is the reason the pH of ionized water only lasts for 24 to 48 hours; any other water on earth with that much TDS, would keep its pH reading for months if not years. PristineHydro™ produces acid free properly mineralized water the way nature designed it; in fact a sealed bottle of PristineHydro™ water will maintain its pH for up to one year.

- Cancer drug discovery by repurposing: teaching new tricks to old dogs
Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, Volume 34, Issue 9, 1 September 2013, Pages 508-517
Subash C. Gupta, Bokyung Sung, Sahdeo Prasad, Lauren J. Webb and Bharat B. Aggarwal
AbstractProgressively increasing failure rates, high cost, poor bioavailability, poor safety, limited efficacy, and a lengthy design and testing process associated with cancer drug development have necessitated alternative approaches to drug discovery. Exploring established non-cancer drugs for anticancer activity provides an opportunity rapidly to advance therapeutic strategies into clinical trials. The impetus for development of cancer therapeutics from non-cancer drugs stems from the fact that different diseases share common molecular pathways and targets in the cell. Common molecular origins of diverse diseases have been discovered through advancements in genomics, proteomics, and informatics technologies, as well as through the development of analytical tools that allow researchers simultaneously to screen large numbers of existing drugs against a particular disease target. Thus, drugs originally identified as antitussive, sedative, analgesic, antipyretic, antiarthritic, anesthetic, antidiabetic, muscle relaxant, immunosuppressant, antibiotic, antiepileptic, cardioprotective, antihypertensive, erectile function enhancing, or angina relieving are being repurposed for cancer. This review describes the repurposing of these drugs for cancer treatment.

- Role of hypothalamic neurogenesis in feeding regulation
Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, Volume 25, Issue 2, 1 February 2014, Pages 80-88
Lígia Sousa-Ferreira, Luís Pereira de Almeida and Cláudia Cavadas
AbstractThe recently described generation of new neurons in the adult hypothalamus, the center for energy regulation, suggests that hypothalamic neurogenesis is a crucial part of the mechanisms that regulate food intake. Accordingly, neurogenesis in both the adult and embryonic hypothalamus is affected by nutritional cues and metabolic disorders such as obesity, with consequent effects on energy-balance. This review critically discusses recent findings on the contribution of adult hypothalamic neurogenesis to feeding regulation, the impact of energy-balance disorders on adult hypothalamic neurogenesis, and the influence of embryonic hypothalamic neurogenesis upon feeding regulation in the adult. Understanding how hypothalamic neurogenesis contributes to food intake control will change the paradigm on how we perceive energy-balance regulation.

- Developing epigenetic diagnostics and therapeutics for brain disorders
Trends in Molecular Medicine, Volume 19, Issue 12, 1 December 2013, Pages 732-741
Irfan A. Qureshi and Mark F. Mehler
AbstractPerturbations in epigenetic mechanisms have emerged as cardinal features in the molecular pathology of major classes of brain disorders. We therefore highlight evidence which suggests that specific epigenetic signatures measurable in central – and possibly even in peripheral tissues – have significant value as translatable biomarkers for screening, early diagnosis, and prognostication; developing molecularly targeted medicines; and monitoring disease progression and treatment responses. We also draw attention to existing and novel therapeutic approaches directed at epigenetic factors and mechanisms, including strategies for modulating enzymes that write and erase DNA methylation and histone/chromatin marks; protein–protein interactions responsible for reading epigenetic marks; and non-coding RNA pathways.

NHLH2: at the intersection of obesity and fertility
• Nhlh2 interacts with bHLH, Stat3, and LIM proteins to regulate diverse gene targets.• Nhlh2 knockout mice are sexually dimorphic in reproductive and body-weight phenotypes.• Nhlh2 acts as a molecular sensor to coordinate energy balance and fertility control.
Nescient helix–loop–helix 2 (NHLH2/NSCL2) is a neuronal transcription factor originally thought to be involved in neuronal development and childhood neuroblastomas. Accumulating evidence has since identified roles for NHLH2 in adult phenotypes of obesity and fertility. We summarize these findings here and attempt to link genotype with phenotype in mouse models and humans. In particular, NHLH2 (Nhlh2 in mice) is one of only two genes that are genetically linked to physical activity levels. Nhlh2 also controls obesity and fertility, with strong sexual dimorphism for both phenotypes in Nhlh2 mutant animals. We propose that Nhlh2 might function as a molecular sensor in different adult hypothalamic neurons to regulate energy balance, leading to normal body weight and reproduction.
