Jaynie Levinson — Connecting Jewish Young Adults
Let’s Reclaim “Jew”
In many ways, I see my role at the Jewish Federation as a vehicle to push us into the future by making us more relatable to younger generations. By adapting our voice to be more relevant to young people, we are ensuring that the Jewish Federation will still be relevant to our community members for future generations to come. One of those pieces I’ve brought into the fold is the importance of hashtags, the everyday language of a Millennial (both on and off social media).
Early on, I starting tweeting out and calling events #cincyjews. I made it known that for Jewish young adults to feel a part of the Jewish community here, they need it to have a young voice and name. That name, I thought, should be “The Cincy Jews”. I was saying Jew very freely in meetings, and made it known that “Jew” is how we should refer to Jewish young adults.
Some of my colleagues had a knee-jerk reaction and found it quite offensive that I was using this term so freely. They let me run with my #cincyjews tag, but made it known that they didn’t feel comfortable with the term, even though “young people talk like that.”
According to dictionary.com, when used as a noun, “Jew” is an appropriate term that is interchangeable with “Jewish”. However, when “Jew” is used as an adjective or noun, it’s derogatory. Calling someone a “Jew boy” or “Jew lawyer” makes the person part of the negative “other” because of their religion. Using “jew” as a verb, dictionary.com actually lists a definition of “to bargain sharply with; beat down in price” (which is surprising that they list this, quite offensive, definition, even though it has an *offensive* note on it).
I didn’t really think people in America in 2014 used jew as a verb, but I am completely wrong. According to a Huffington Post article in July of 2013, an elected official in a small town in Florida used the phrase “not be to jewing up someone’s pay.” The official claimed that she didn’t mean it in an anti-Semitic way, and in some ways I believe her. The more I read the more I thought about Jewish jokes I hear, using Jew is usually referring to Jews being cheap or trying to get a deal. Have you ever experienced jokes like this? What was the context? Was the person anti-Semitic, or just using it because they didn’t know better?
Let’s circle back to the term “Jew” used as a noun, like “Cincy Jews.” Why do some Jews, from my experience older than 30, find this offensive? In an article in the Jewish World Review from when Joseph Lieberman was running for Vice President with Al Gore in 2000, Jonah Goldberg addresses whether you can address Lieberman as a Jew. What he found in his research was that Jew and Jewish were generally used interchangeably throughout history, however, the rise of Hitler and Europe’s anti-Semitism made Jews uncomfortable with being labeled by the term. Nazi Germany always referred to the Jew in a derogatory way, and it is quite understandable that the term still strikes a negative chord with many. Their hesitation to say Jews now still stems from the pain of the Holocaust and a fear of anti-Semitism rising again.
Because my generation is farther removed from the Holocaust and faces little threat of anti-Semitism, we aren’t worried about the derogatory history of terms like Jew. So we use it. Websites like Hipsterjew.com, groups like Hebro for Gay Jews, and social media characters like “Fat Jew” have emerged (he has over 148 K followers on Twitter and a youtube video with over 600,000 hits). Sarah Weiss, Director of the Jewish Community Relations Council sums this up nicely: “While I may be sensitive to the use of Jew, I’ll join the next generation in trying reclaim the word, but also encourage us to have the courage to speak up when it’s used in a derogatory way.”
I believe it’s a great thing for Jewish young adults and the organized Jewish community to break down old fears and use Jew in a positive way when speaking about our people or building a community. When it becomes an adjective or verb, however, that’s where we should continue to draw the line. That’s what I will use as a guide as I try to build a new brand for Cincinnati’s Jewish community, both young and old, in a #new #rockstar #awesomeway.

Jambay Lhakhang Festival is held in Jambay lhakhang located in Bumthang. Jambay Lhakhang is one of the oldest temples in the kingdom. It was founded by, Songtsen Gampo, a Tibetan King in the 7th century AD. The king was destined to build 108 temples known as Thadhul- Yangdhul in a day to subdue the demons that was residing in the Himalayas. The temple is one of the two of the 108 built in Bhutan. The other is the Kichu lhakhang in Paro, believed to have been built on the same day.
Legend has it that Guru Rinpoche visited the site several times and deemed it exceptionally sacred. Chakhar Gyab, the king of the Iron Castle of Bumthang renovated the temple in the 8th century AD.
The first king of Bhutan, Gongsa Ugyen Wangchuck constructed the Dus Kyi Khorlo (Kala Chakra- Wheel of Time) inside the temple, to commemorate his victory over his rivals Phuntsho Dorji of Punakha and Alu Dorji of Thimphu after the battle of Changlimithang in 1885. Later, Ashi Wangmo, the younger sister of the second king of Bhutan, built the Chorten lhakhang.
The main relics include the future Buddha, Jowo Jampa (Maitreya) from whose name the present name of the temple is derived. The lhakhang also houses more than one hundred statues of the gods of Kalachakra built by the first king, in 1887. Here, one of the most spectacular festivals is hosted called Jambay lhakhang Drup that lasts for five days beginning from Nov 14-17, 2016. The highlight of the jambay lhakhang festival is the fire ritual that is held in the evening where crowds gather to witness the ritual together with the naked dance.

On arrival at Paro airport our representative will pick you up. Drive to Thimphu. The drive to Thimphu (7700ft/2350m) is only 55 km long and easily negotiated in 1.5 hours. Check in to your hotel. After lunch visit : SIMTOKHA DZONG, originally called Simmo Dokha (Demon on the Stone)till the Zhabdrung cleansed and purified it and build the dzong whose complete name is san ngay sabdon phodrang( The Palace of Profound Tantric Teaching).This was the first of the many dzongs constructed by Zhabdrung in 1631. NATIONAL MEOMRIAL CHORTEN, it was built in 1974 in memory of the third King Jigme Dorji Wangchuk by his mother. CHANGANGKHA LHAKHANG, is one of the oldest temple in Thimphu, dating back to the fifteen century. It was built by a descendent of Lama Phajo Drugom Zhipo. The main statue here is that of Avaloketeswara and opposite the entrance is a large painting of Tsangpa Gyaray Yeshay Dorji. The place has an air of peace and tranquility, located as it is above and away from the city. TRASHICHHOE DZONG, “The Fortress of Auspicious Religion”, Your last stop for the day. The Dzong can be visited only after 5 pm on week days, when the government office closed-or then during the day on Saturday/Sunday. The Trashichhoe Dzong, in its present incarnation, was consecrated as late as 1969 and this building is a visual delight. With its superb sense of proportion and space, it carries an aura of regal dignity. Its history dated back to the 13th century. After becoming the property of Zhabdrung in 1641 he rebuilt the dzong.
Today drive further north of Thimphu to visit TANGO GOMPA, this is a 300m hike and takes around one hour. Although founded by Gyalwa Lhanangpa , it was further developed by Lama Drukpa Kinley in the 15th century. Nearby is the cave where Zhabdrung meditated and believing that his spiritual powers had helped repel the Tibetan invasion, this gompa was presented to him in appreciation. Desi Tenzin Rabgyel renovated and added to the structure in 1688, bringing it to its current magnificent form. It is now time to return to Thimphu for lunch after which you can take in some more attractions that this quaint capital city has to offer. SANGAY GANG, heading towards the telecom tower which is at 8807ft/2685m and provides a vantage point for brilliant, clear views of the town and surrounding countryside. MINI-ZOO, heading back , stop a few minutes at the ‘mini-zoo’ which is now a large outdoor enclosure that holds one of the strangest looking creatures you are likely to see- the takin.(Actually the best time to see them is when they come to the fence for food in the early morning so if you are really interested, you can reschedule your day accordingly. DRUBTHOP GOMPA, a small building surrounded by prayer flags that now house the Zilukha Nunnery. Located above the dzong, this gompa is believed to protect it from fires. DECHEN PHODRANG, descending further, your arrive at Dechen phodrang which was the original site of the dzong and is now occupied by the state monastic school. NATIONAL LIBRARY, your drive will now take you past the rolling greens of the golf course with the grand National Library coming up on the opposite side. This was open in 1967 to preserve the ancient Dzongkha texts and act as a repository for thousands of old religious books and manuscripts as well as the wooden blocks used for printing. NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ZORIG CHUSUM, which offers a six year course on Bhutan’s traditional crafts for those who are artistically inclined. FOLK HERITAGE MUSEUM, with its interior styled to resemble a typical farmhouse as it would have been a hundred years ago. The museum offers not only a glimpse into the past but also depicts the present reality of many remote rural hamlets. “If you are in Thimphu over the weekend, try and visit the local open market with its vast array of fresh produce, handicrafts and other items.”
After your breakfast check out from the hotel for your next destination, DRUK WANGYEL CHORTEN, “Chortens of the victory of the Druk Gyalpo” the top (dochula pass) is unlike that of any other pass you will encounter here or for that matter anywhere in the world! There are a 109 chortens in three tiers of 45,36 and 27 circumscribing a single large chorten. The building of this chortens was initiated by Queen Ashi Dorji Wangmo Wangchuk when her husband, the fourth king, travelled to the South-East of the country in December 2003 leading his army against insurgents from India. Beside these magnificient chortens in an amazing setting you will be able to sport some of the great Himalayan peaks. CHIMI LHAKHANG, it is a pleasant 30-40 minute walk from the road head, through cultivated fields and up a gentle slop. This lhakhang dates back to 1499 and was built by Lama Drukpa Kinley, when he visited this valley. Lama Drukpa Kinley is believed to have subdued the demoness residing at Dochu La with his ‘magic thunderbolt of wisdom’ and a wooden effigy of this is preserved within. PUNAKHA DZONG, the dzong straddles the confluence of two rivers and resembles a giant battleship. Its full name is ‘Pungthang Dechen Phodrang’ or ‘Palace of Great Happiness.’ This extremely impressive fortress was built as far back as 1937. It was the second of the mighty dzong built by Zhabdrung and was the seat of government till the end of the reign of the second king.
After your early breakfast drive to Trongsa, en route to Trongsa is the Chendebji Chorten, patterned on Katmandu’s Swayambhunath Stupa, with eyes painted on the four cardinal point. It was built in the 18th century by Lama Zhida, to cover the remains of an evil spirit that was subdued at this spot. Legends says that the evil spirit manifested as a gigantic snake. Reaching Trongsa visit TRONGSA DZONG, built in 1648, it was the seat of power over central and eastern Bhutan. Both the first and the second Kings of Bhutan ruled the country from this ancient seat. All 5 Kings were invested as Trongsa Penlop “governor” prior to ascending the throne. The dzong is the massive structure with many levels, sloping down the contours of the ridge on which it is built. Because of the dzong’s highly strategic position, on the only connecting route between east and west, the Trongsa Penlop was able to control effectively the whole of the Eastern and Central regions of the country. TA DZONG, this watchtower, which once guarded Trongsa Dzong from internal rebellion, stands on a promontory above the town. It was built by Chhoje Minjur Tempa, the first governor of Trongsa in 1652. It has four observation pints resembling Tiger, Lion, Garuda, and Dragon. Climb up the path to visit Ta Dzong which now houses a shrine dedicated to the epic hero, King Gesar of Ling. A visit to this former watchtower provides visitors with an insight into the significant of Trongsa in Bhutan’s history. As of date the Ta Dzong of Trongsa is the most fascinating museum of the country.
Reaching Bumthang, check in to the hotel and after lunch visit JAKAR DZONG, the Jakar Dzong or “Castle of the White Bird” dominates the Chamkhar valley and overlooks the town. Constructed in 1549, by the Tibetan lama Nagi Wangchuk . The dzong plays an important role as the fortress of defense of the whole eastern districts. It also became the seat of the first King of Bhutan. A special feature of the dzong is the approximately fifty meter high Utse or Central Tower, which is distinct from all the dzongs in Bhutan. The other unique feature of the dzong is that of a sheltered passage, with two parallel walls, interconnected by fortified towers, which gave the population of the fortress access to water in the case of a siege. The protected water supply is still intact to this day. TAMSHING LAKHANG, located across the river from Kurje Lhakhang, this temple was founded in 1501, a Terton(treasure revealer) Pema Lingpa, who was the re-incarnation of Guru Rinpochhe There are very old religious painting around the inner wall, which was restored at the end of the 19th century. This temple can be approached from Kurji Lhakhang with a short walk crossing through the suspension bridge. THANGBI GOMPA, this temple can be approached with 30 minute walk from Kurje Lhakhang, situated in the middle of a wide fertile plateau overlooking the river. Founded in 1470, by Shamar Rinpochhe of the Karma Kagupa religious school. The building compresses two sanctuary and a temple of terrifying deity. The sanctuary on the ground floor contains the statue of the past , present , and the future Buddha and three clay statues probably dating to the end of the 15th century. On the upper floor, the vestibule contains two remarkable paintings of Guru Rinpochhe’s heaven and the Buddha Amitabha’s heaven.
After your breakfast drive to Jambay Lhakhang and withes ‘Tshechu’. This is a great opportunity to mingle with the Bhutanese crowed and so to enjoy their happy company. Throughout the day there will be mask dance and the Buddhist ceremonies. People come from all around to attend and exchange gossip, look for marriage partner, pick up merit in the search of escaping the wheel of life or perhaps just to have thoroughly good time with the friends.
In the morning continue with the festival and after lunch visit KURJE LAKHANG, located further along the valley, Kurje Lhakhang compresses three temples. The one on the right was built in 1652 against the rock face, where Guru Rinpochhe meditated in the 8th century. The middle temple was built on the site of a cave containing with the rock imprint of Gurus body, and is therefore, considered to be the most holy . The temple on the left was built by the Queen Mother, Ashi Kesang Choden in 1990. This three temples are surrounded by 108 chorten walls. If time permits drive further east of Bumthang to visit the MEMBAR TSHO ‘ the burning lake’. In the evening after your early dinner drive to Jambay Lhakhang to witness the night necked mask dance. The festival of Jambay Lhakhang is well known because of this dance that performed at night. Enjoy the dance.
Today you will be driving to Gangtay, the winter home land of black-necked crane there.

GANGTAY GOMPA, in the mountains east of Wangdue Phodrang lies the beautiful Phobjikha valley, on the slope of which is situated the great monastery of Gangtay, established in 17th century. The village of Phobjikha lies a few Km. down from the monastery on the valley floor.

After breakfast, drive through upper Punakha valley passing through farmhouses and take a leisure walk through farmhouses and then through nature to the beautiful Khamsum Yuelley Namgyal Chorten temple built by the Queen Mother of Bhutan for peace and stability in this ever-changing world. This temple is situated on the hilltop overlooking the valley below. The leisurely walk up to the temple would take about 1 hour. Visit the temple and also enjoy the breathtaking view from there.
After lunch,drive back to Paro. After a refreshment drive up the valley to visit the historic Drukgyel Dzong which was built in the 16th century to mark the Bhutanese victory over the Tibetan invaders.
Dinner and overnight at hotel in Paro.
TAKTSANG GOMPA, it is now time to embark on your somewhat arduous adventure for the day ascending the 3000 ft cliff reach the most spectacularly located Gompa in all of Bhutan. According to the legend Guru Padmasambhava visited the site in 8th century flying from the East of the country on the back of a tigress( a form that one of his consorts is believed to have taken). He meditated for three months in the cave here and then domining his terrifying form of Dorli Droloe subjugiated the evil spirits. Following him many permanent saints came here to meditate; notably Milarepa, Labdoenma and Thongtong Gyalpo. Today, Taktsang is more a holy place in the country. KYICHU LHAKHANG, go back in time and history and visit the 7th century Kyichu lhakhang. As the name suggest, the temple is a reservoir of peace, where you will really feel peace here.

Pa. Review Finds Schools Lacking in Student Privacy Protection
A review of Pennsylvania school districts highlights the challenges they face protecting student information.
Pennsylvania school districts are struggling to maintain student privacy as technology’s role in classrooms continues to grow.
Only 11 of 31 school districts in the state had documents showing the software and applications that teachers assigned students didn’t violate student privacy laws, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, which conducted the review.
Of the 31 districts, only eight had documents proving they trained teachers in student privacy procedures and only six could prove teachers frequently asked for approval to use education technology tools.
Still, many districts were making efforts to protect student data and be transparent. Some school systems, like the Butler Area School District, force teachers to let the IT department vet each app before it’s used. Others send letters to parents explaining their approach to student privacy.

Writing as B.B. Pelletier
The El Gamo David is a lower-powered breakbarrel from the 1960s or’ 70s.
This report covers:
- Bear is eaten
- The new seal
- Where were we?
- H&N Finale Match Heavy
- RWS Meisterkugeln Rifle
- H&N Finale Light
- Something different
- RWS Hobbys
- Air Arms Falcon domes
- Trigger pull
Bear is eaten
…and sometimes you eat the bear! As I reported in Part 2 nearly a month ago, the breech seal of the El Gamo David was old and suspect. It was damaged by removing it for inspection. I ordered the replacement breech seal for the rifle from TW Chambers in the UK. It was at my house in less than two weeks.
The El Gamo seal from TW Chambers arrived in less than two weeks.
The new seal
When I saw the new seal I could see that it wasn’t a simple one. El Gamo had formed what looked like an o-ring on top of the much taller seal, which confused me when I first started to take the old seal out. At first I thought it was just an o-ring, but as more came out of the hole and I saw how large it was I thought that it had somehow deformed the top into that shape in the gun over the years. Neither of those was the case, though. El Gamo had made it that way intentionally. There must be a technical advantage to the size of the seal, but I don’t know what it is. Why didn’t El Gamo just cut a shallower groove in the breech and use a commercial o-ring? Like I say, there must be an advantage to doing it this way — I just don’t know what it is.
After ordering the new seal I learned that El Gamo had made this seal in three different sizes — small, medium and large. I wasn’t sure which size the David seal was, though it was so large I felt it had to be the large one.
Then reader Gnom256 contacted me, offering to send me a breech seal for the Gamo Maxima (no longer stocked by Pyramyd Air), which he said should fit the David, as well. Now, Gnom256 lives in Moscow — nearly half a world away from Texas, and since I already had a seal en route I normally would have said no thanks, but because these breech seals came in three sizes I felt it would be good to have options if the Chambers seal didn’t fit. I told Gnom256 what I had learned and he sent me the dimensions of the seal he was sending. It was 10mm high, 7.7mm inner diameter and 14mm outer. I measured the David seal and found it to be the same size so I asked him to please send me a seal, as well. He sent me five! And they are a perfect fit
Reader Gnom256 sent me 5 breech seals for the El Gamo David. They are a perfect fit.
The Chambers seal fits the David almost perfectly. It is about 1mm too short, and a thin credit card shim (0.73mm/0.0287-inches) underneath the bottom raises it up to the right height. So the David now has a new breech seal of the correct height.
I used the Chambers seal just to see if my shim idea worked, which it did. I had the seals sent by Gnom256 in reserve in case I had to dig the Chambers seal out again.
Where were we?
Now today’s velocity test can begin. In Part Two I had just tested the H&N Finale Match Heavy pellet and got an average of 480 f.p.s. for a string of ten. The low was 464 and the high was 487, so the spread was 23 f.p.s. Then I examined the breech seal and damaged it while removing it, so I decided to replace it. This is where we will start today.
H&N Finale Match Heavy
I started with the same pellet as in Part 2. Ten H&N Finale Match Heavy pellets now averaged 471 f.p.s. The low was 460 and the high was 486 f.p.s. So the spread was 26 f.p.s. At the average velocity this pellet generates 4.03 foot pounds at the muzzle. Compared to the rifle with the old breech seal the rifle with the new seal is slightly slower, has a slightly broader variance and generated slightly less energy at the muzzle. Sometimes when you do things like I did they don’t turn out like you expect, but how was I to know that before doing it?
RWS Meisterkugeln Rifle
The next pellet I tested was the 8.2-grain RWS Meisterkugeln Rifle wadcutter. Ten of them averaged 449 f.p.s. The low was 431 and the high was 464 f.p.s. That’s a spread of 33 f.p.s. At the average velocity the muzzle energy generated was 3.67 foot-pounds.
H&N Finale Light
Next up was the 7.87-grain H&N Finale Light pellet. They averaged 483 over a string of ten. The low was 470 and the high was 492 f.p.s., so a spread of 22 f.p.s. At the average velocity this pellet generated an energy of 4.08 foot pounds.
At this point in the test I decided to see what effect seating the pellet deep in the breech would have. So I pushed each pellet into the barrel with a ballpoint pen. This time the same 7.87-grain H&N Finale Match Light pellet averaged 516 f.p.s. Wow — an increase of 33 f.p.s.! The spread for this string went from a low of 511 to a high of 521 f.p.s., so a difference of 10 f.p.s. At the average velocity the deep-seated pellet generated 4.65 foot pounds of energy.
Clearly the David seems to “like” its pellet seated deep. The velocity increased, the spread decreased and of course the energy increased with the velocity. So, from this point on in the test, I seated all pellets deep with a ballpoint pen.
I tried to test RWS Hobbys but they fit the breech so tightly that I was unable to seat them deep. Two 7-grain Hobbys generated 449 and 445 f.p.s. and I stopped testing them after that.
Air Arms Falcon domes
The last pellet I tested was the 7.33-grain dome Falcon from Air Arms. These fit the breech well and averaged 551 f.p.s. when seated deep. Wow! Better yet, the spread for a 10-shot string went from 541 to 553 f.p.s. — a difference of just 12 f.p.s. At the average velocity the Falcon generated 4.94 foot-pounds — the highest energy seen in the test thus far.
But best of all, the Falcons shot incredibly smooth! Only a few times in my experience have I experienced a pellet that shot this smoothly. This is definitely a pellet to watch for the David!
Having seen such a dramatic change when the pellets were seated deep I went back and shot another string of H&N Match Heavys. Instead of a 471 f.p.s. average they now averaged 506 f.p.s. — a 35 f.p.s. increase. The 26 f.p.s. spread dropped to just 15 f.p.s. — 499 to 516 f.p.s.! At the average velocity this pellet now generates 4.65 foot pounds instead of 4.03 foot pounds. Deep-seating the pellet is the way to go with this rifle.
I also revisited the RWS Meisterkugeln Rifle pellet. The new average was 487 f.p.s. instead of 449 f.p.s. — a 38 f.p.s. increase! The new spread dropped from 33 f.p.s. to 27 f.p.s. (472 to 499 f.p.s.). The new muzzle energy went up from 3.67 foot pounds to 4.32 foot pounds.
With every pellet tested, deep-seating was the way to go. The difference was dramatic in all areas. I believe we now have not only a good performance baseline on the David, we also know a lot more about how to operate it to get the best it has to offer.
I did the cocking effort in Part 2. The David cocks with 15 pounds of effort. But I didn’t test the trigger pull.
The David trigger is two-stage. Stage one takes a pull of 1 lb. 9 oz. When it stops at stage two the stop is definite. Stage two releases at 5 lbs. 8 oz. I wouldn’t call the trigger release crisp, but it is consistent. The pull feels heavy for as light as this rifle is. Maybe I should pop the stock and see if I can lubricate the trigger parts before shooting for accuracy.
We are now caught up on the El Gamo David. It is performing well, though a brand new one is probably a little faster, but not enough to worry about it. With the Falcon pellet the David shoots as smooth as any spring piston rifle I’ve ever tested.
Accuracy comes next, with perhaps a brief excursion into the powerplant — or at least the trigger.

Hello Everyone! I can’t believe we’ve come to an end to Breakfast/Brunch Month, which also means that it’s almost the end of October! Once again, where did the days go? Time flies too quickly. Luckily for you guys, today will not be the last post for October for I have a recipe going up on the 31st for a Halloween Special. I won’t say much about it now but the only thing I will say about it is that it’s gonna get bloody!
So anyway, since today will be my last post for Breakfast/Brunch Month, I’m going to end it with a recipe that is sure to knock you socks off! I’ve not tried this recipe before earlier on this week, but I can assure you that for those of you who like a little bit of spice in your life, these muffins pack a good kick! I had actually planned to bake some Chorizo, Corn, and Chilli Streusel muffins two weeks ago to post for today, but we could not find any chorizo at all that week. So I told my mom that I’ll hold off making the muffins since they weren’t going up on the blog for another week or so during that time, but as the days drew closer and chorizo still could not be found – so maybe I will hold off this recipe for another time when chorizo is available.
Thus, I decided to change my recipe – Pumpkin, Polenta, and Chilli Muffins! I kind of like how it is sort of in theme with fall (for the Northern Hemisphere), and Halloween – the pumpkin aspect of today’s recipe that is. The original recipe for these muffins can be found over on Taste;I didn’t really do anything to alter the recipe, only that I added half of the pepitas into the muffin batter mixture. Other than that, I pretty much just followed this quick and easy recipe.
PREP TIME 15 MINS | COOKING TIME 22-25 MINS | SERVES 12 MUFFINS
- 500g butternut pumpkin, peeled and cut into small chunks
- 2 & 1/2 cups self-raising flour
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup coarse polenta
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large free range egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tbsp fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
- 1 tbsp caster sugar
- 2 tsp dried chilli flakes
- Ground salt and black pepper, to taste
- Softened butter, to serve
- Preheat oven to 190C (375F or gas mark 5). Grease a 12 hole muffin pan with either cooking spray or with butter.
- Place the pumpkin chunks on a baking tray lined with foil and season with a bit of salt, pepper, and coat with olive oil. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Once done, remove from the oven and transfer to a heatproof bowl. Using a fork, mash the pumpkin and set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, combine the self-raising flour, sugar, polenta, chilli flakes, coriander, and half of the pepitas in a bowl. Mix until thoroughly combined and then make a well in the centre.
- Add the milk, egg, vegetable oil, and pumpkin into the well and then mix until just combined. Your batter will be very thick which is exactly what you want! Season with a bit of salt and pepper, and the spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin pan. Top with the remaining pepitas.
- Bake for 22 to 25 minutes or until golden and firm to touch. Remove from the oven and stand in muffin pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them onto a wire rack to cool down completely.
- Serve and enjoy warm or cold with softened butter!
Muffins taste best on the same day, though they may be stored covered tightly at room temperature for 3 days or in the refrigerator for 5 days.

If you visit the National September 11 Memorial Museum at ground zero, be prepared: it’s almost overwhelming. The journey of remembrance begins below ground, seven stories beneath the 9/11 Memorial, where the twin towers used to stand.
Among the many artifacts on display: the battered, rusted exterior spine of the original World Trade Center, and the voices of several victims’ last words, donated by their families.
Also visible: the stairs where so many people ran to escape, and exit doors –- not from that day, but for museum visitors who find it difficult to continue through the exhibit.
Brian Williams recently visited the museum’s director, Alice Greenwald. Watch the video below to hear about the clothing store in Manhattan that was covered in dust and preserved for nearly 13 years; it now serves as a memorial.
The museum will be dedicated on Thursday, and opens to the public on May 21. Read more about it here.

Today's women have far more sexual partners than those in the 60s
Today's young women have slept with three times as many men as girls of the same age in the so-called "Swinging Sixties", known for mini skirts, the Rolling Stones and drugs, according to a study
Despite the image of practicing free love, the average 24-year-old woman in the 1960s had 1.72 sexual partners.
On the other hand, today's women of the same age have an average of 5.65 bed partners, which is more than her mother who is likely to have had 3.72 partners.
The study of 3,000 females of all ages, conducted by the chain Lloydspharmacy, comes as the chain voices fears of increased sexual health risks for women at a time when screening and better information should be reducing it.
A Lloydspharmacy spokeswoman said that cervical cancer rates in women under 25 have not decreased over the past decades despite better screening, possibly because of the greater number of partners, reports the Scotsman.
The chain is promoting a campaign for women to get a vaccine against HPV -- the human papilloma virus -- which is a sexually transmitted infection and a major cause of cervical cancer.


“The torchbearers for modern British reggae music” Clash
“Fresh Brit reggae” David Rodigan MBE, BBC Radio 1Xtra
East London reggae four-piece The Skints unveil their highly anticipated third album ‘FM’, set for release through Easy Star Records on 9th March 2015.
Pulling from various influences as disparate as Tenor Saw, The Shirelles, Wiley, Jimmy Cliff, and Black Flag, ‘FM’ is The Skints’ fitting tribute to the radio culture they love as music fans. Progressing through the bubbling sound of grime and garage to summertime sound system reggae, roots, dancehall, traditional rocksteady, Motown soul and punk, the group takes listeners on a whistle-stop tour of the capital’s underground culture.
Set on the hottest day in the city on record at imaginary London pirate radio station The Big FM / Frequency Murderation, 103.Skints, we encounter four radio shows over the course of the broadcast. Kicked off by original London reggae legend Tippa Irie, he welcomes listeners to the ‘Breakfast Show’ as alter ego DJ Mr Versatile and proceeds to spin ‘This Town’, featuring Tippa himself along with MC Horseman, who showcases here his first recorded work with The Skints. A celebratory ode to London, this opener represents the good side to the city through the sounds of 80s Saxon style reggae dancehall, and joins ‘My War’ – a Black Flag cover – as an instant grat upon digital and physical pre-order of the album.
After the band demonstrates their punk roots with the reggae-steppers-influenced ‘In the Night’ (feat. Horseman), Dr. Ranking Pegasus (Horseman) presents the ‘Dancehall Dilemmas’ show, featuring a call-in from listener Danny, who reveals he has put on a dance with the record’s producer Prince Fatty, only for Fatty to scarper with all the money that’s come through the door. The reported theft is fittingly followed by the infectious ‘Friends & Business’, a soulful ska track about the biting nature of the music industry.
Continuing its journey around town, next stop is ‘Grime Hour’ with MC Rival’s alter ego Rivz, advertising a rave at the now repossessed Stratford Rex, before introducing the album’s lead track ‘Eyes In The Back Of My Head’, featuring Rival himself. A grimy affair with a warning tone, it’s a song about the liars, thieves and cheats that lurk the streets, with a heavy bass line that mimics the dark subject matter.
To complete the twists and turns of its London adventure, ‘FM’ ends with Mr Versatile’s evening session, playing out the show with the beautiful ‘Tomorrow’, whose chorus ‘Don’t you worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow won’t be worrying about you’ provides the perfect refrain to set the world to rights.
With ‘FM’, listeners will hear a band that has come a long way from their humble beginnings as punk ragga urchins. Having left the squats behind, they’ve been regularly performing at Europe’s largest festivals and on London’s most renowned stages since the success of their debut album ‘Live. Breathe. Build. Believe’ in 2010, gaining acclaim from the likes of BBC Radio 1Xtra’s David Rodigan, The Guardian and Clash, who summarise their style brilliantly as ‘fusing a skanking beat with lyrics which speak clearly about everyday life in the UK.’
A comprehensive piece of work that continues to showcase the accessible blend of Caribbean styles with an East London twist for which they have become famed, ‘FM’ may just be The Skints’ most accomplished release to date. What’s more, with a headline tour of the UK, France, the Netherlands and Germany confirmed for April, plus their debut USA venture booked for May, this group of reggae-dub upstarts have truly hit the big-time.

If you started university between 1998 and 2012, or since then in Scotland and Northern Ireland, you'll have a Plan 1 student loan. While much is written about whether those with savings should overpay the current English Plan 2 student loans, there's little out there about Plan 1. I wanted to change that, so here's a video explaining how to decide...
Not only will this multiply the money you’re bringing in in a serious way, but it protects you against any sudden changes in the market or in your business. Remember that old saying about putting all your eggs in one basket? A few hours a week committed to just one or two of the following opportunities will put you in a much stronger position to be financially safe and independent.
Now, it’s time to start creating and uploading content. Make sure you’re using a high-enough quality camera (most smartphones will work but I’d suggest at least having a tripod so your footage isn’t shaky), but don’t worry about being perfect at first. The beauty of YouTube is that you can continue to test out different content and styles as you find what works for you. Instead, stick to a regular schedule to build up your subscriber base.
If you're at all scarcity-minded, it's important to understand how much abundance exists today. Considering that virtually every brick-and-mortar store has made the transition to an online business, there's certainly no shortage of competition. But there's also plenty of so-called blue ocean. While most might make it out to seem like Amazon is the only company reaping the benefits of the ecommerce boom here, the growth is widespread and across every single sector in business.
17. Amazon – Have you heard of FBA? It stands for “Fulfilled by Amazon” and it’s getting pretty popular. Basically, you buy products (in bulk is best) and ship them to Amazon for them to store. When your products sell, Amazon packs them up, ships them out and sends you the money (after taking their cut). There are people making a full-time living from FBA, while others just do it for some extra money.
If you're at all interested in starting your own online business, there's no time like the present. We live in a golden age of wealth. As much as the media tries to glorify the perils of our society, we actually live in a time that's ripe with opportunity and the potential for monumental business growth at a scale never before experienced. Thanks to the internet and smartphones, the amount of commerce being conducted online has experienced explosive growth.
Mechanical Turk is Amazon's take on micro-jobs. These are small miniscule-jobs that you can do for other people, which they call HITs, or Human Intelligence Tasks. These are super simple tasks that anyone can do. Some examples are listing off some URLs with certain kinds of images for one cent, or recording a few phrases with a microphone for 6 cents.
Search engine evaluation - Almost everyone uses the internet in day to day activities and being paid to hang out online can put a smile on your face. Search engines such as Bing, Yahoo and Google use human skills to authenticate search engine results produced by complex algorithms. It is a simple online job because all you have to do is type word phrases into a search engine and then assess the relevance of the results.
Last but not least, you can also earn money online by building an online community, although the monetization strategies you can pursue will vary a lot depending on your goals. You can build a community with a blog, for example. You can also build an online forum and charge people for membership. You could even build up a Facebook group and use your influence there to sell and promote products.
For example, Amazon affiliates can potentially rake in obscene amounts of commission dollars if they work at it. Simply sign up as an affiliate to sell a company’s products using your special referral link, and you can get a commission for each product sold without lifting a finger. Commission ranges from product to product and also goes up in stages according to how many products sales your clicks generate. The top commission tier is 8%. That adds up to some serious amounts of cash each month if you’re promoting products with that high rate of commission ( Home & Garden is one such product area with high commissions).
It’s not the sort of online money making opportunity that’s covered in glory, but everyone needs a set of eyes to make sure the numbers add up at the end of the year. Every business and most individuals need someone to help prepare tax returns, especially time or resource-strapped small business owners. The Income Tax School provides an array of training programs that’ll certify you with tax prep in as little as 10 weeks, and once tax season rolls around you’ll be able to charge an average of $229 per return as a freelance tax preparer with this side business idea, reports CNBC.
I’ve thought about trying some of these money making ideas! That said, it seems like I just get the run around have to keep doing the same stuff over an over again! I’ve been thinking about advertising chauffeur services where I take people to appointments, clean houses, and run errands for them! I have a list of things to do to make people lives easier (where I can earn some extra money for me). Thank you for all your advice. I’ll just have to go over stuff and see what I think will work best for me!
According to Lynne Norris of NorrisBusinessSolutions.com, who works out of her home in Pennsylvania as a virtual assistant, the rates for VAs run about $25 to $75 or more an hour, though ZipRecruiter calculates the average hourly rate at $19. According to Norris, the startup costs of this work from home job can range from about $500 to $1,000, assuming you have an up-to-date computer and printer.
Create passive income. If you have money saved, you can utilize this as a nest egg to create passive income. There are many ways to create passive income, with the easiest being to open a high interest savings account, which offers a much higher return than a normal savings account. Investing in stocks can also provide you with a passive income, but requires up front research and stringent monitoring of your portfolio.
If you want to help shape digital products in their early stages, joining an online focus group or answering survey questions is a great way to make extra money online. They don’t pay as much as some of the other options we’re highlighting in this list, but you can join groups on sites like Survey Junkie, User Interviews and InboxDollars that pay out through PayPal, check or even Amazon gift cards. You’ll be asked to provide a bit of information about your personal demographics (age, location, etc…), but after that you can get going making money online through completing surveys.
Waiting tables and bartending are good ways to make extra money, but it’s not exactly if the work was easy. And if you don’t have any experience good luck applying at the nicest place in town, most restaurants require experience. Also if you have problems dealing with demanding, hungry people – STAY AWAY! The hours are late, sometimes you won’t make any money. Especially right now, starting at new place will be difficult, if you can get hired expect to be the first one cut every night (aka less money) as those with seniority will want to stay. It still is a good deal though. I’ve put myself through college (chem major) without loans, never lived in the dorms, and I have about 10K in the bank. I will continue working in the restaurant biz even after I have a “Real Job,” the extra 10-15K/year for part time work is worth it.
Hey Maria, why not do both? Having a blog to attract traffic, improve your SEO, build trust, and demonstrate your expertise is a perfect companion for a freelancer site. You could offer your services and also make the blog a centerpiece of your web presence. In addition, you are honing your writing skills and can use those for guest posting on other health/fitness for increased exposure.
Hey Luisa, I would first have a look around at what already exists in your industry and how you could differentiate yourself from it. For example, two of my favorite cooking channels on YouTube are Bon Appetit and Binging with Babish. Both of these live off of the personality of their presenters, together with a wide knowledge of food. See what new thing you could bring to the table and make decisions from there. Good luck!
Open an Etsy store. If you have a creative talent or skill – whether it’s creating art, sewing clothes, or making keepsakes – you can open an online store on Etsy.com and sell your wares for some quick cash. With your own Etsy store, you’re left in charge of pricing and, ultimately, how much you make. See our detailed primer, “How to Make Money on Etsy.”
Cashcrate.com is an excellent way to make money. You complete offers and take surveys and get payed for it. I read an article on it from a guy that has doing it for sometime now and he explained it as voluntarily signing up for spam and gave a whole layout of the best way to do it. and you can actually make decent money. Pretty much make a separate email for spam.
If you have a propensity for writing and you can slay with your prose, consider writing an ebook. While the market has certainly become saturated as of late, books that help teach people about a technical topic still sell extremely well. This is a great source of passive income but does require a large amount of effort at the outset before any money is generated.
Webinars are quite possibly one of the most potent ways you can make an exorbitant amount of money online. You'll need an audience to train and you'll need to know what you're talking about. Of course, this usually requires having a website and some semblance of an online presence. However, people can still do webinars without all of that. For example, you might have a sizable social media following and you train them every week on something to do with social media. But you will need a product to embed and sell at some point. Don't worry about it in the beginning. In my experience, the best webinar platform out there is GoToWebinar.
One should think about their skills, hobbies and basic daily habits as well. Do you like to cook? Be a personal cook or dinner parties. Baking? Make wedding cakes or cupcakes for weddings/special events. Do you enjoy cleaning? Trying going to banks/repo companies and ask if they are in need of a repo cleaner or market yourself as a all-around cleaner. Know how to mow a lawn? Get paid to do it in your neighborhood. Sell products from large companies – Jewelry, Scentsy, health and home products, etc.
Research Costs and Set Fair Starting Prices. Before setting prices for each item, research your local Craigslist website and nearby yard sales to get a sense of how to price them. Remember that many buyers will try to haggle, so set prices a bit higher than your bottom dollar but not so high you’ll scare off first bids. Roughly 10% to 15% higher is a good rule of thumb. Consider bunching low-value items, such as old CDs, into lots of five or 10.
@Philip Taylor So by what you’re saying, I can be an unaccredited doctor or surgeon for someone (for example) but do it at a much lower rate than the accredited doctors and surgeons. Since I know what a scalpel is and I wear rubber gloves, I’m a doctor. So, I don’t have to have to respect the profession of medical science at all since I think I know what I’m doing and just go for it.
If you're serious about making money online, start a blog. Blogging is one of the easiest and most sustainable income sources. As long as the blog is setup the right way, in the right niche, with the right content targeted at the right audience, and the offer is complementary to the content, you could make a tremendous amount of passive income from a blog.
Set up a roadside stand. Depending on where you live, you could profit handsomely by setting up a roadside stand. If you live near a resort area, for example, you could buy cases of bottled water, put them on ice, and sell them to passers by for twice what you paid. Selling fruit and produce you grow yourself is also a smart idea in highly-traveled areas.
You know those top-down cooking or craft videos you just can’t seem to get away from these days? There are people out there making a living from them, especially those that also run their own food blogs or travel blogs. In fact, a whopping 78% of B2C companies depend on user-generated content (like these videos) for their marketing campaigns. You can sign up as a creator on a site like Darby Smart and potentially work with brands like Nordstrom, Mattel, and BarkBox. Or, learn how to master PPC advertising and you can use the content to build your YouTube following and monetize through ads and views.
If you're a crafter, the internet is your showcase — and not only at auction sites like eBay. DeWitt Young of ObviousFront.etsy.com has had success turning her crafts into cash online. She has a booth at Etsy.com's Craft Mall, an amazing place where thousands of artisans and crafters offer their goods for sale. DeWitt turns salvaged parts from old TVs and VCRs into artsy necklaces, earrings, and figures. Colleen Jordan of wearableplanter uses 3D printing to create her necklaces called wearable planters.
Work as an online interpreter or translator. If you’re fluent in a foreign language, it makes sense to look for work as an online interpreter or translator. Depending on your individual skillset, you could find work translating blog posts or eBooks, transcribing recorded lessons or speeches for clients, or translating through Skype or another online video service. And, thanks to the increased use of foreign languages in the United States, getting started could really pay off. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment for interpreters and translators is expected to increase 17% nationally through 2026.
Often, what happens is that we run into unscrupulous Internet Marketers (IMs) who have less-than altruistic intentions of extracting money from you rather than helping you to make it. However, this isn't something new. People have been falling for networking marketing, pyramid schemes, and affiliate marketing scams since before the start of the net.
If you’re comfortable having strangers in your home and confident you’re on the right side of the law, check out these popular meal sharing options. Depending on your platform choice, guest capacity, and local market, you can expect to rake in anywhere from $50 to several hundred dollars per meal after accounting for expenses. Hosting opportunities are more plentiful in major cities.
You know this one already. You include links to products you are promoting as an affiliate and every time somebody buys the product, you get a commission. With a blog, you can integrate advertising with content to make it even more likely you’ll get the sale. For example, you could do a product review—which is useful content—and then include a link to buy the product under an affiliate link.
The internet changes so fast that one year online equals about five years in the real world. But the principles of how to start and grow a successful online business haven't changed at all. If you're just starting a small business online, stick to this sequence. If you've been online awhile, do a quick review and see if there's a step you're neglecting, or never got around to doing in the first place. You can't go wrong with the basics.

DARPA’s Gremlins Pass Second Flight Test
The X-61 is scheduled for further tests in October.
DARPA’s Gremlins program is targeting additional tests of the X-61A vehicle later this year after meeting several primary objectives during risk reduction flights at the U.S. Army’s Dugway Proving Ground in Utah in late July. The Gremlins program seeks to develop and demonstrate air launch and air recovery of up to four unmanned aerial systems (UASs), known as Gremlins Air Vehicles, within 30 minutes.
Mission flexibility and affordability are the key attributes for the Gremlins system, which would launch groups of UASs from multiple types of military aircraft while out of range from adversary defenses. The Gremlins program is using a C-130 as the demonstration platform, but the recovery system is designed to be easily modified and compatible with a wide array of transport aircraft and weapons systems. Once Gremlins complete their mission, the transport aircraft would retrieve them in the air and carry them home, where ground crews would prepare them for their next use within 24 hours.
Over several days, the team completed multiple captive flight tests of the Gremlins air vehicle ground and recovery systems, including demonstration of a recovery system safely retrieving and stowing the air vehicles. The team also conducted a controlled launch of the air vehicle, flying for more than two hours and performing rendezvous and autonomous formation station keeping between the air vehicle and a C-130 at separation of 125 feet.
The flight tests in July follow the first flight test in November, during which the program completed one captive-carry mission, and an airborne launch and free flight lasting more than an hour-and-a-half.
“The air vehicle performed beautifully from launch through mission modes, and the consistency between the flight tests in November and July increases confidence in the X-61A,” Scott Wierzbanowski, the Gremlins program manager in DARPA’s Tactical Technology Office, says in a DARPA press release. “However, we made a decision to delay the first air recovery attempt and instead focus on key risk reduction activities to better ensure a smooth air recovery test later this year.”
The program is planning for flight tests to resume in October with the key objective to recover first one, and then two, air vehicles in the same flight. By the end of the calendar year, the program aims to complete the test series, culminating with airborne recovery of four Gremlins within 30 minutes. This final demonstration will showcase the capability of safe, effective and efficient air recoveries, revolutionizing the application and utility of attritable UAVs.
Gremlins can incorporate several types of sensors up to 150 pounds and can integrate technologies to address different types of stakeholders and missions.
A Dynetics-led team is the performer for the Phase 3 demonstration series. DARPA is currently in negotiations for the fourth phase of the program to demonstrate the technology in an operationally relevant environment.

Fix responsibilities, build infrastructure to keep homeless children away from drugs
Kaushiki Sanyal | November 7, 2016
Delhi has approximately 70,000 homeless children, more than any other Indian city. These children, on an average, are slightly over 12 years old. The lowest estimate of drug addiction among them is 36 percent and the highest is 80 percent. A large proportion of children, below 10 years of age, grow up routinely consuming tobacco and sniffing white fluid inhalants – glues and whiteners. A report titled ‘Drug Abuse Among Street Children in Delhi’, by Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy, looks at the laws for the treatment and rehabilitation of Delhi’s drug-addicted children.
The government seems to have been doing a lot to address the problems of these children, at least on paper. The fight against the malaise relies on two laws: The Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985 that ensures treatment and rehabilitation of all the addicts and the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) (JJ) Act, 2015 (which replaced the JJ Act, 2000) that addresses specifically to the needs of children addicted to drugs.
Multiple ministries handle implementation with unclear division of responsibilities and, unsurprisingly, tend to work in silos. For instance, the ministry of social justice and empowerment (MoSJE) handles drug demand reduction, while the ministry of health and family welfare (MoHFW) conducts treatment and rehabilitation of drug addicts. Both the ministries are mandated to fund de-addiction and rehabilitation programmes.
MoSJE runs a scheme for prevention of alcoholism and substance abuse since 1985, which partially funds eligible agencies (that is, NGOs) for setting up Integrated Rehabilitation Centres for Addicts (IRCAs) and counselling centres. At the same time, the MoHFW, which is mandated to run treatment and rehabilitation programmes, funds organisations like the National Drug Dependence Treatment Centre (NDDTC) and AIIMS, among others. At present, the two ministries neither share resources nor finance joint operations that can address child welfare comprehensively.
The JJ Act 2015 categorises drug-addicted children as those who are in need of care and protection and provides for their care through an elaborate mechanism. Briefly, a child who falls within the category of ‘in need of care and protection’ has to be brought, within 24 hours, before the child welfare committee (CWC) (each district is required to have at least one). After that, a social investigation report needs to be prepared within 15 days. The CWC can then direct the child to be placed in an approved drug treatment centre. The Juvenile Justice Board, which deals with children in conflict with the law (those who have committed a crime), can also direct children to rehabilitation centres if they are found to be addicted.
Delhi has seven such CWCs. At the Mayur Vihar CWC, for instance, drug -addicted children are only referred to Society for Promotion of Youth and Masses (SPYM), a registered IRCA for boys, although there are four other IRCAs in Delhi. This is apparently because there is no written order allowing them to refer the children to other IRCAs or the NDDTC. The treatment at SPYM reportedly includes detoxification, psychotherapy and counselling. The children are not referred to NDDTC, which is a specialised clinic for adolescents and has experienced doctors but reportedly lacks adequate supporting staff. So the children there have to be accompanied by guardians, which is often difficult for street children.
The reason for the shortage of supporting staff cannot be attributed to lack of funds. An RTI reply revealed that over the years the NDDTC’s unspent amounts rose steadily from Rs 36 lakh in 2012-13 to Rs 57 lakh in 2013-14 and Rs 1.03 crore in 2014-15. Keeping the treated children away from drugs, a key element of de-addiction, is an even bigger challenge. Although SPYM claims to follow-up with every child for six months, it is not clear how successful they are in ensuring that the child stays away from drugs. The shortage of social workers in the CWCs implies that they are unable to follow-up regularly with at-risk children. Also, in cases where the children’s families could not be traced or the children did not want to return to their family, the only option is to send them to poorly managed children’s homes, which are inadequately equipped to ensure non-exposure to drugs (or sexual abuse). There is no systematic coordination to ensure that the children return to schools post de-addiction treatment, as per the Right to Education Act.
The government’s budgetary allocations are a window to its priorities. According to a report by the HAQ Centre for Child Rights, in the union budget of 2016-17, there has been significant decrease of 14.4 percent in the fund allocation share for the protection of children. The report has raised concerns about the falling budget allocation for health and education of children. Tellingly, in spite of lip service by policy makers on child welfare, there is no specific scheme that allocates funds for child drug addicts or the welfare of street or homeless children.
Fixing the challenge requires a sea-change in how society and government views these minor addicts. Consulting all stakeholders collectively, providing clear demarcation of responsibilities and oversight, investing in adequate infrastructure and training of staff to ensure a robust juvenile justice system, allocating adequate funds and treating the problem as a healthcare management issue integrated with the existing healthcare system would make for a good beginning.

Proposed 'no deal' Brexit tariffs for cheddar imports could cause price volatility and a loss of productivity for the UK dairy industry, it has been warned.
Tariffs were announced in March for butter and a selection of cheeses including processed cheese, cheddar and blue-veined cheeses.
The butter tariffs are €605/tonne for butters and €738/tonne for butteroil; for butter this is about one third of the current Most-Favoured Nations (MFN) tariff.
For the cheeses with tariffs, the rates range between €180-290/tonne, and are generally 13% of the current MFN tariff.
There are also tariffs that currently exist on dairy products such as milk, cream, powders and yogurts, that will be dropped to zero.
The government has been urged to work with the UK dairy sector and rethink its proposed tariffs on cheese.
Speaking at the Dairy UK Annual Dinner on Thursday (20 June), Vice-Chair Ash Amirahmadi said tariffs chosen for cheddar were 'inadequate'.
He outlined impact assessments on the effect of WTO tariff rates on the sector, which demonstrated a potential massive shock to raw milk prices.
Mr Amirahmadi said: “One thing we can all agree on is that trade policy is key to the success of the sector going forward.
“We stand ready to work with our colleagues in government to ensure the voice of both dairy and agriculture is reflected in trade and tariff discussions.”

DescriptionTangier, in the early 1990s: Young Moroccans gather regularly in a seafront cafe to gaze at the lights on the Spanish coast glimmering in the distance. Facing a future with few prospects in a country they feel has failed them, their disillusionment is matched only by their desire to reach this paradise - so close and yet so far, not least because of the treacherous waters separating the two countries and the frightening stories they hear of the fates of would-be illegal emigrants. A young man called Azel is intent upon leaving one way or another. At the brink of despair he meets Miguel, a wealthy Spanish gallery-owner, who promises to take him to Barcelona if Azel will become his lover. Seeing no other solution, and although he has a girlfriend to whom he is promised, Azel agrees to Miguel's proposition and thus begins a different kind of hell for the young Moroccan - shame and self-disgust at his own helplessness gradually overcome him and he finds himself once more in a hopeless situation. Azel and others like him, including his sister, begin to wonder if the reality of life in Europe will live up to their dreams.
