Grab your binoculars and head to the lake, Jupiter's moons will be visible this week
By Nicole Stock
Jun 10, 2019 | 11:30 AM
It’s been over 400 years since Galileo spotted the first moons beyond our own, and this week, you can see them too.
The summer season means that Jupiter is visible to the naked eye, and with just a pair of binoculars, or a small telescope, its four largest moons may also be visible.
The best place to catch a glimpse is along the lakefront, according to Michelle Nichols, the director of public observing at Adler Planetarium.
Nichols noted that the optimal viewing point is low and to the southeast, making the shore the best option in Chicago.
On June 10, Jupiter will be in opposition, meaning that the planet will be directly opposite of the sun, Nichols said. This is the best time of year to see Jupiter clearly, according to NASA.
What's up in the June night skies? Find out how you can see Jupiter at its biggest and brightest, while Mercury and Mars appear ultra-close + how you can observe the Moon's tilted orbit. Watch & find out more: https://t.co/n6EfYEMrW8pic.twitter.com/QIR0rklCIX
Nichols said Jupiter will be easier to find after sunset on June 15 and 16. That's because Jupiter will appear near Earth's moon in the southeast sky and will look like a whitish non-twinkling star. Point a pair of binoculars or a small telescope at Jupiter anytime it is in the nighttime sky and you may spot up to four of its largest moons.
This is an especially exciting time to watch the moons, Nichols said, because onlookers have the chance to see them move — much like how Galileo once did.
“This is exactly something that you can connect to astronomers of the past,” Nichols said.

Wilde home for sale -- at a not very ideal €1.6m
The Chelsea apartment, where the playwright lived and wrote most of his seminal works, is on the market after being refurbished, says Shane Hickey in London
IT was once the red and yellow study where one of literature's most celebrated minds created defining works before his controversial imprisonment.
Over 110 years after his death, the ground-floor London workspace where Oscar Wilde wrote The Picture of Dorian Gray and A Woman of No Importance is for sale with a hefty price tag of €1.6m (£1.3m).
The apartment, at 34 Tite Street in Chelsea, was the office of Wilde between 1885 and 1895, a period during which he created some of his most seminal works -- at a time when his personal life was increasingly being dogged with scandal.
Then numbered 16, Wilde and his wife moved into the terraced redbrick when Chelsea was known as a hub for artists, picking the area so that he was close to his mother.
After years of preaching to his contemporaries about style, Wilde spent seven months renovating the home, which he moved into in January 1885. The prominent architect and designer, Edward William Godwin, was employed to design original works for the house.
However, it was in the ground-floor study where his creativity flourished. Sitting while facing the street, Wilde wrote The Happy Prince and Other Tales, An Ideal Husband and The Importance of Being Earnest among others.
This all ended in 1895 with his arrest. When Wilde dropped a libel case he took against the Marquess of Queensbury, who was angry about his affair with his son Lord Alfred Douglas, he found himself charged with allegations of gross indecency with other men.
After a case that became a sensation at the time, the artist was found guilty and was sentenced to two years' hard labour.
When he emerged from prison, Wilde had lost everything -- his wife Constance, his sons and the house on Tite Street, which was auctioned off. A short time later, in 1900, and suffering from meningitis, Wilde died in Paris.
In an ironic twist, the judge at the trial that sealed his fate was also a resident of the street.
Passers-by to Wilde's former home are told of its place in history via a blue plaque on the outside.
The current owner, property developer Myca Lee, says she beat 26 other bidders last year to buy the ground-floor property where the artist's office was situated -- including one who wanted to buy the whole building and turn it into a museum dedicated to Wilde.
"I am a fan of Wilde. It was a draw. When I go into a home, I can feel a good energy or a bad energy, and this feels very much like a calm, creative energy. You can kind of put two and two together and relate to his presence there," she says.
Ms Lee, who refurbished the flat over the past year, says the former Wilde home still attracts a lot of interest from tourists, especially Americans and Japanese.
"Put it this way, you can't stand naked at the window. There is quite a lot of attention, but people don't knock at the door," she says.
While Chelsea was once an artists' hang-out -- a little bit similar to the Hoxton area today, with a number of studios a few doors away -- local residents are now more likely to be investment bankers rather than poets and playwrights.
However, there is still some memory paid to the famous author. Two children who live in another flat at the same address are named Oscar and Constance, says Ms Lee.
Estate agent John D Wood says there have been a number of viewings but the historic property is still on the market.

Crews from Wolverhampton Fire Service and Fallings Park helped save a dog on Sunday evening.
The dog, named Hope, was unresponsive when they found her.
They managed to revive her after she was given oxygen and CPR.
The public are being asked to get creative and help suggest names for new booths at Wolverhampton's Grand Theatre as part of its big summer refurbishment.
The building will have a complete renovation on the Front of House areas on all three levels. The theatre is calling for name suggestions for booths on the dress circle level and two suites, and say they're hoping for names like significant performers, shows or songs.
The winning names will be revealed in June, and the big refurbishment is due to end before a big re-opening gala night in September.
"The Grand Theatre is at the very heart of Wolverhampton and holds a lot of memories for the public who have visited over the last 120 years. The refurbishment is very much with the public in mind, to improve comfort and the overall theatregoing experience. It seemed appropriate to involve the very people who help to keep the theatre thriving and so we're calling for the public to suggest names for our booths and suites and help shape the future of the Grand Theatre."

ELKHART, Ind. (AP) — An Elkhart County judge has rejected a request by the former operator of a wood recycling plant that he waive a $150,000 fine against the defunct company.
The operator of VIM asked Elkhart Superior Court Judge Evan Roberts last month to review his January order. The Elkhart Truth reports (http://bit.ly/KI6bAP) that Evans upheld the fine two weeks ago.
The state attorney general's office and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management filed a lawsuit against VIM three years ago, contending it was improperly accepting waste wood containing glues, resins and other substances at its facility near Elkhart. A settlement was reached, but VIM was fined after it didn't meet a June 2011 deadline to remove the wood.
Soil Solutions bought out VIM last year and got rid of the disputed wood.

Sam Shepard, the famed playwright, director and actor, has died at age 73 in Kentucky. (Charles Sykes/Associated Press)
Shepard died at his Kentucky home last Thursday of complications from Lou Gehrig’s disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS), according to Chris Boneau, a spokesperson for the Shepard family.
“The family requests privacy at this difficult time,” Boneau said in a statement.
Shepard was an award-winning playwright (his Buried Child earned a Pulitzer Prize for drama in 1979), accomplished writer and celebrated actor, picking up an Oscar nomination for The Right Stuff in 1984.
Since the 1960s, Shepard had published dozens of plays that made their way to the stage, developing a reputation for bleak stories about people on the fringes of U.S. society. Cowboys, A Life of the Mind, Fool for Love and his trilogy Chicago, Icarus’s Mother and Red Cross are among his many noted stage productions.
He also maintained a career as an actor in Hollywood, with credits including Days of Heaven, Steel Magnolias and Crimes of the Heart, and Netflix’s recent series Bloodline.

May the force and coercion be with you...
That is the way government has worked for years. Democrats and Republicans go to Washington, create new laws and programs, which we as citizens are then forced to obey and fund. Regardless of how necessary or unnecessary each of of us feel the law or program may be, we are expected to obey and fund it. If we disobey a law with which we disagree, or attempt to withhold funding from some government program, we face arrest or fines. If we resist the arrest or fines, there is a good chance the government will come after us to inflict their views with a gun. If we resist that, there is a good chance that we will be shot. I consider that pretty inflictive.
As a people, we have always had divided opinions. And even when we don't see eye to eye with our neighbor, for the most part we have been able to agree to disagree, and to go our separate ways. And as long as our neighbor isn't perpetrating some type of force or fraud against us or somebody else, we seem able to co-exist. We may not like that neighbor, but we somehow manage to tolerate our differences.
Government doesn't work that way. Government as we know it is based on force and coercion. The power of that force and coercion is what creates the divisiveness we find in the Republicans and Democrats today. Neither party is opposed to force and coercion, they just want to be the party in charge of administering them.
As a Libertarian, I take a different view of things. I figure the government shouldn't be making laws other than ones that serve to protect us from force and fraud, and I figure if the government wants to come up with some programs to help people manage their lives, then people ought to be able to decide if they want to use those programs or not.
I know that's not how government works now, but I figure if we elected a few Libertarians, it could work like that.
I also know that neither the Republicans or Democrats are the least bit interested in removing the force and coercion from government.

China's gender imbalance may have contributed as much as 2% to its annual GDP growth. Can it continue?
FORTUNE -- They say a good man is hard to find, but that's not the case in China, where men overwhelmingly outnumber women. The ratio of men of marriageable/dating age (15-30 years old) to every woman is 1.15 -- an unusual imbalance that's created a rat race of bachelors vying for the affections of a limited pool of young women. Many may want to marry, but never will.
Oddly enough, China's lonely bachelors have actually helped the country experience extraordinary growth. And in the coming years, the trend will likely continue as the ratio gets progressively out of balance, said Columbia University professor Shang-Jin Wei recently at a symposium.
Because of the imbalance, many women can cherry-pick their life partners. There's of course an ugly side, too: The shortage of young women has also driven prostitution and human trafficking in some parts of the country. Nonetheless, since men started outnumbering women in 2002, it has become almost an unspoken prerequisite for bachelors to have enough for a down payment on a home before attracting a wife. Which, in turn, has bred fierce competition among the male population.
MORE: If you could put China's problems in a bottle - Maotai
"Acquiring wealth becomes far more important," says Wei, director of the Jerome A. Chazen Institute of International Business at Columbia. In fact, China's bachelors helped drive its growing housing market. Last year, Wei and other experts published a study that showed up to 48% or ($8 trillion worth) of the rise in property values across 35 major cities is linked to the country's gender imbalance.
“赚钱变得越来越重要了” 哥伦比亚大学Jerome A. Chazen国际商学院的负责人魏（教授）说道。事实上，中国单身汉推动了楼市的增长，去年，魏（教授）和其他专家发表的研究表明，中国性别比例失衡与其35个主要城市飙升48%（约合8万亿美元）之间存在联系。
（译注：Jerome A. Chazen是 Chazen Capital Partners的创始人和董事长。于1991年向哥伦比亚大学捐赠1千万美元在该校开办了以其名字命名的国际商学院）
Over the past 10 years, China's economy has grown about 10% annually. Wei estimates the gender imbalance, on average, contributed 2 percentage points annually during that period. Investors often speculate how long China can grow at such a fast pace, and whether it's in for a hard landing.
History suggests the growth has to slow. Typically when income per capita reaches about $17,000, growth on average starts declining about 2% a year. In China, income per capita in 2011 stood at $5,445. It will be some time before it reaches its peak, but growth has already started decelerating. In 2012, GDP growth slowed to 7.8% from 9.3% in 2011 and 10.4% in 2010.
Yet the country's demographic kink could offset future slowdown, Wein says. Over the next 10 years, the male-to-female ratio will rise to 1.2 men per woman, in part, one of the many unintended consequences of China's three-decade-old policy limiting couples to one child in a culture where parents overwhelmingly favor males over females.
To be sure, China has many other demographic challenges. It also has a rapidly aging population, which has contributed to the shortage of working-age people. And it remains to be seen how these obstacles will help or hurt its economy.
So let's get this straight- competition for eligible women has driven Chinese men to greater and greater levels of economic performance.
So what happens to the losers? The guys that don't live happily ever after, do you think they'll just keep working harder and harder without a family or a wife?
Anyone who thinks this is a good economic model is fooling himself- all you are doing is putting a dollar value (yuan?) on women and it'll go to the highest bidder. In biology this isn't a good strategy, peacocks pay for relationship competitiveness with significantly more endangered bodies.
What happens to the losers? They go on stabbing sprees at elementary schools.
@starlyn "In China, income per capita in 2011 stood at $5,445." THAT sure sounds like winning.
Dont be foolish.... Income Per capita means squat, when in the USA you have to borrow 1 trillion a year to get your high per capita income
nobody "THINKS" this is a good economic model : IT IS. 10% GROWTH EVERY YEAR is not enough for u? while the USA is not just lost the economic battle, but is more debt, less jobs every year, dollar value keep going down, education, health, culture and human rights non existent... yea right we doing great.
Right, if GDP was the only measure of economic health.
But don't forget wealth gap.
Also, this growth was largely driven by demographics, much like the 80's and 90's in America with 25-35 year old boomers.
The difference is China is aging far more rapidly, and could slow down much harder 5-7 years from now.
I agree. Better looking American women =economic growth. Someone call the President.
Those who did not abort their females are now laughing.
Classic contrarian investing.
Next up, India.
-- so clearly did they need stronger government in this area.
GMO and Vaccinations are not gender specific.
UNelected nations needs to send in Blue Helmet abortionists.
gender-selective infanticide should be a crime punishable by death of both father and mother
Chinese Oligarchs are efficiently, and profitably, replacing the Serfs.

Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C) did not expect to pay as much as $7 billion to settle a current legal spat with the US Department of Justice, Andrew Grossman said in a recent discussion on Wall Street Journal Live.
The comment came from reporter of The Wall Street Journal after his story that Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C) is nearing an agreement with the Justice Department for the bank to pay $7 billion to settle allegations that it sold substandard mortgages before the 2008 crisis.
According to Grossman:
“The latest is, after talks between the Justice Department and Citi looked like they were close to falling apart in mid-June – the Justice Department was going to go and file a lawsuit [although]they didn’t – it appears Citi came back to the table and they’re now close to a deal that would have Citi pay about $7 billion in a combination of consumer relief and just a cash payment to the U.S. Government to resolve these allegations that it sold bad mortgages before the financial crisis.”
Asked by Steven Russolillo what changed over the past few weeks, Grossman said that it is hard to be certain. However, he noted that they know that Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C) was offering $4 billion while the government wanted $10 billion. It’s no surprise that the figure purportedly to be paid by the bank is somewhere in the middle, he noted.
Russolillo then asked Grossman how the $7 billion, if indeed Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C) pays it, stacks up in the grand scheme of things, Grossman explained:
“It’s larger than [what]the bank wanted to pay. They thought, because they securitized a whole lot fewer mortgages than JP Morgan [and]the Bank of America, that they wouldn’t be on the hook for as much money. We’re still waiting on another big settlement. The Bank of America is still in talks with the Justice Department. They are fairly far along. We’re expecting that to come out within the next few weeks of months but we don’t quite know how that one is going to end up yet. We know those two sides were also fairly far apart. This could put some pressure on Bank of America because the DOJ might have gotten a bit more from Citi than [what]Citi wanted to pay here.”
Watch the discussion below.
Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C) shareholders includes Leon Cooperman’s Omega Advisors which reported, by the end of the first quarter of the year, 5.36 million shares in the financial giant. Another investor is Larry Robbins’ Glenview Capital which reported, during the same period, about 5.18 million shares in the company.


Lew Dite plays his Newfoundland ugly stick (purchased in St. John’s about 10 years ago) with a little help from his tie.
The ugly stick is a traditional Newfoundland musical instrument fashioned out of household and tool shed items, typically a mop with bottle caps, tin cans, small bells and other noise makers. The instrument is played with a stick that has undulations carved into it so that it can be dragged across the mop handle to given a rhythmic sound. The instrument’s main body is a mop cut to approximately four feet. A tin can is attached to the top. At strategic intervals along the length of the shaft, nails affixed with bottle caps would be nailed to the shaft. The ugly stick is held in one hand at about 3/4 up the shaft and the musician holds the beating stick in the other. The instrument is lifted and dropped on the floor in a rhythmic fashion while the musician strikes the attachments to embellish the sound.
This instrument originated in outports and remote villages. Social gatherings such as concerts (colloquially referred to as “tymes”) and kitchen parties, were an important part of the rural culture. The principle melody instruments were accordions and fiddles with rythmic accompaniment from the ugly stick.
“Beaten with the ugly stick” is an American and British idiom for someone or something that looks ugly or unappealing.

Any dog can be a danger to the public, but certain types of dogs are banned in the UK. If you own an unregistered banned dog you are committing a criminal offence. Make sure you know which breeds of dog are illegal in the UK:
1. Pit Bull Terriers /Pit Bull type dogs
Pit Bull types may include the following dog breeds:
American Staffordshire Terriers
Irish Staffordshire Terriers
Irish Blue or Red Nose
Staffordshire Bull Terriers
Staffordshire Bull Terriers are not listed in the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991. You are allowed to own this breed of dog in the UK.
2. Japanese Tosa
The Japanese Tosa can weigh anywhere from 80-200lbs. It is a mix of indigenous Japanese dogs and various Western breeds, such as the Mastiff and Bull Terrier. The Tosa is also a fighting dog and displays an uncommon stoicism, as they are expected to fight silently, without growling or whimpering. It is also illegal to own in Denmark, Malta and Norway, amongst other countries.
3. Dogo Argentino
First bred in Argentina in 1928, the Dogo was taken from the now extinct Cordoba Fighting Dog, which was mixed with various other breeds, including the Great Dane, Dogue de Bordeaux and Irish Wolfhound. Although it was not its original purpose, the Dogo has also been used for fighting. Generally weighing in at just under a hundred pounds, it is solid white and resembles a larger Pit Bull. The Dogo is banned in at least 10 countries, including the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Portugal.
4. Fila Braziliero
The Fila or Brazilian Mastiff is a huge dog bred for hunting boar and jaguar, and was even used for tracking down runaway slaves. It has Mastiff, Bulldog and Bloodhound ancestry. It is highly prized for its aggressiveness. This personality trait is called “ojeriza”, which translates from Portugese to ‘distrust’. The Fila despises strangers, to the point where Brazilian dog show judges are advised not to touch it, and the standard allows a certain ferocity in the show ring. It is illegal to own a Fila in the United Kingdom.
It’s not only illegal to own one of these breeds in the UK, it is also illegal to breed from, sell, abandon or give away a banned dog. The legislation that covers dangerous dogs is the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991.

Arts Education Curriculum
The Arts Education Essential Standards communicate what students should know and be able to do as a result of instruction at each grade level. The Arts Education curriculum consists of four disciplines: visual arts, music, dance, and theater arts.
The visual arts program is designed to develop visual literacy by promoting fluency in the various modes of visual communication. Students learn the visual arts by using a wide range of subject matter, media, and means to express their ideas, emotions, and knowledge.
The music program is designed to develop musical literacy. Through music, students increase their awareness of rich and diverse cultures, beliefs, and societies of humankind. The processes of creating, performing, and understanding music are the primary goals of the music program. Through creating, students are able to be imaginative, think critically, and approach tasks in new or different ways.
Dance education helps students use movement to creatively express meaning. It provides students with a way of kinesthetically learning and communicating. The dance program is designed to teach students fundamentals in dance and choreography, and to help students develop creativity, problem-solving, self-discipline, and focus.
Children arrive at school with rudimentary skills as playwrights, actors, designers, directors, and audience members; theatre arts education continues to build on this foundation. The theatre arts program integrates several aspects of the art form: script writing, acting, designing, directing, researching, comparing art forms, analyzing, critiquing, and understanding context.
Each grade level includes Essential Standards and Clarifying Objectives, which are organized by Strands. Please click on the links below to access the desired Arts Education curriculum documents.

Surprisingly, my friend Andrew, a well known Blogger, got many letters from his clients and readers who had seen plenty of great content about Commercial Steel Buildings. I said to myself 'I should write about that too!' however then I got to thinking that there are far too many ideas here to include in one article: I would have to write a series of them. So this is the initial one, with the title The 9 Concerns You Should Untangle Regarding Commercial Steel Buildings. I hope you find it fruitful in developing your understanding of Commercial Steel Buildings!
This ensures the quality of such structures and allows for a high speed of further installation. Metals melting temperature is much higher than wood and provides extended security during severe fire disasters. This factor affects greatly in the construction schedule of the building. Steel, for all its strength, is a light material for its size. The elimination of the need for concrete columns creates larger open spaces, which is ideal for parking lots and modern offices looking to conserve available space.
Thus, steel building avails many benefits without polluting the atmosphere. Aluminum is added in nano-meter sized clusters to steel, and this assures that the materials strength remains while eliminating the majority of its brittleness. Industry experts prefer the use of structural steel over any other building material for construction. Many companies have been offering a steel buildings service for many years.
The high grade and heavy gauge steel is highly rust resistant. Although steel members are incombustible, their strength is tremendously reduced at temperatures prevailing in fires. To create value, commercial structures need to make the most of the available space. Structural steel building construction uses slender columns, which allows for greater floor space. When calculating floor space for steel buildings uk all areas including canopies & mezzanine floors need to be included if they are to be incorporated in the building.
com is a digital innovation business network that provides intelligence, education for professionals, businesses, startups and universities. There is so much to say about the leverages of using steel structure! Steel structures are highly fire resistant as compared to wood, and it reduces the fire accident risk to a building. Many of our clients are blue-chip companies which require the very best in Health and Safety and we are often providing our services in live environments. In fact, the vast majority of skyscrapers built until the seventies are made of structural steel. Why not opt for an in house designer when getting your industrial steel buildings this will really stand out!
Please feel free to call us for more information or to discuss what you are looking for. In life, structural steel materials may have to be used just to improve the resistance. I own the land the project will be built on. Steel's strength makes it a great option for use in precast concrete and the construction of primary members. State schools, private schools and local government departments have benefited from the commercial steel buildings that they required.
Compared to all other materials, structural steel has the most exceptional ability to maintain its integrity through seismic events and fires, as well as endure corrosion from rust, water, mold, and insects. The size and shape of steel members can be configured to provide a level of structural robustness not easily achievable with other more brittle construction materials. With custom-designed buildings and essentially endless panel options and finishes, contractors can create solutions which will meet nearly any energy efficiency or aesthetic requirement while still offering cost savings, consistency and speed-tomarket advantages over conventional construction methods. Despite being a naturally strong material, steel can be hardened or softened through heat treatment. You can design your own bespoke industrial steel buildings uk today.
You can always select the one according to the size or got it customized by the manufacturing companies. Additionally, if you ever need to expand a steel structure, the materials durability means that you dont have to replace aging or worn sections to give the addition structural integrity. Because of how steel buildings are made, theres no need to construct a new one. The most important benefit, however, is the higher strength to weight ratio will simplify the design of your structures foundation as well as other structural support systems.

Are Rotosound strings fret wreckers?
I bought a set of Rotosound Roto Pinks a.k.a. R9 strings recently because my local guitar store ran out of my mainstay Dunlop DEN0942 that I like. I had heard for a long while that Rotosound strings were fret wreckers, as in strings that wear down frets fast. Are they?

If you’re tired of driving for dollars and endlessly searching for leads on investment properties, moving into probate real estate may be a good solution for you. It’s an ever-growing market with a lot of profit potential. Below you’ll learn the ins-and-outs of building an investment portfolio using probate real estate and how to get started building your leads funnel.
What is Probate Real Estate And How Does it Work?
Probate is the legal process of distributing a deceased person’s properties and assets to their heirs. It includes their own home and any real estate that has their name on the title, whether the property is solely or jointly owned. It also includes all of the other assets like personal property, bank accounts, and investments.
The distribution process is supervised by a probate court. The process may be lengthy which is one of the downsides because of the massive amount of paperwork and the need for attention to detail. Everything in the process must be appraised, executors named, titles researched, creditors notified and paid, and finally, the heirs will receive their inheritance, and will become the new owners. This is where the opportunity lies for real estate investors.
Not everyone wants to inherit a house. The property could have infestations, it adds another set of property taxes and bills to pay, as well as keeping it up. The house may also have structural issues, or be packed full of outdated and non-valuable furniture or clutter. Not to mention dealing with an HOA if the property falls under their realm.
Another reason properties get sold in probate is if you have multiple heirs, and nobody can make a decision on what to do with it. Many heirs would rather sell the property and walk away with money than deal with the headache that comes with a single asset divided among multiple heirs. That is why savvy investors use probate properties to build their lead funnel and portfolio.
When the heir or heirs sell to an investor or wholesaler, they can turn a quick profit, and the investor can have a new project to rehab and sell or use as a rental property. You are eliminating stress and hassle from the seller, and getting a property you can flip to sell, or rent if it is in a college, military or vacation destination.
Why Probate Property Leads Can Build Portfolio Stability
Learning the process of probate and what could happen is your gateway to this source of deals. It also prepares you for obstacles like unknown heirs laying claim and title issues. Once you have this part down, you can use this knowledge to build a solid funnel of leads that stabilizes your portfolio since inheritances don’t follow any seasonal trends or fluctuations like the rest of the market.
People are continuing to live longer, but not everyone updates their home – especially when they’re older and on fixed incomes. When an outdated home hits the market, it cannot compete with smart homes, houses built using new materials, or with options that contain eco-friendly and cost-saving features. This has created an influx of “undesirable” homes given to heirs who may or may not have any interest in owning additional real estate, which gives you a golden opportunity to buy cheap and flip.
You might be surprised, but the best time to look at probate is when you are at your busiest. The time frame from death to market is long, so while your current projects are underway, you need to begin working these deals. Negotiating a probate deal during your busiest months may mean you can secure the property and rehab through the colder months and be ready to sell when the market heats back up.
Another benefit of investing in probate real estate is the visibility you stand to gain in neighborhoods that may have other homeowners or heirs looking to offload unwanted properties. By simply putting up a sign in the front yard of a property you are rehabbing in one of these neighborhoods can relay your message to the neighborhood that you buy houses “as-is” and can alleviate the headache of owning an unwanted property. It may also be a good idea to have a brochure box with handouts so that neighbors can keep you in mind if they will be entering the probate process in the near future.

Beaver dams maintain native fish biodiversity via altered habitat heterogeneity in a coastal stream network: Evaluating gear, quantifying fish assemblages, and testing ecological hypotheses
Understanding the relationship between heterogeneity, biodiversity and ecosystem function is an active focus of ecological research that has direct applications to the formulation of sustainable, science-based, watershed conservation plans. Here, I applied ecological theory on heterogeneity to the expansion of North American beaver to test hypotheses about physical habitat and fish biodiversity at a riverscape scale. To test these hypotheses (Chapter 4), I first addressed two methodological issues (Chapter 2, 3). By evaluating three types of gear at three levels of effort in a randomized block design over 4 replicate days, I show that 10 minnow traps, 2 hoop nets and 20 m of electrofishing captured most fish species within a 30-m sampling area (Chapter 2). Multiple statistical measures provided similar information, therefore I used general indices (richness, diversity), ecological guilds (flow based), and select multivariate analyses (DCA) to summarize fish communities (Chapter 3). I used these methodological insights to test ecological hypotheses by collecting habitat and fish data at all beaver dams (n = 15) and select control sites (n = 9) in Fish Brook, a coastal watershed in northeastern Massachusetts. From these data, I gained six basic and applied insights. First, beaver dams were distributed throughout the stream network. Second, at a local scale, beaver dams created more habitat heterogeneity than control sites. Specifically, beaver dams created four types of habitat alterations based on upstream-downstream differences in stream width, depth, velocity, and substrate. Third, richness and diversity of fish species around beaver dams were linked to habitat heterogeneity. Fourth, the mechanisms by which beaver dams altered fish biodiversity were mediated through habitat changes at the beaver dam patch boundary. Upstream of the dam macrohabitat guilds occupied the lentic areas, while below dams, fluvial fish guilds used shallow, faster water. Fifth, fluvial species responded the most dramatically to these habitat changes. Finally, in a system depauperate of lotic habitat, fluvial habitats created below beaver dams provided an important refuge for native stream fish. These source areas can increase resiliency and maintaining them may be useful for sustainable watershed conservation plans in these types of systems.

Marvin Vettori's Intense Interview with The Schmo

This video is hosted from www.youtube.com
#UFC263 #MarvinVettori #IsraelAdesanya
Backstage after the press conference and facing off with UFC Middleweight Champion Israel Adesanya, #3 Middleweight Marvin Vettori talks with The Schmo.
Business Inquiries: firstname.lastname@example.org


(RoyalPatriot.com )- Friday afternoon, Vice President Kamala Harris took off from Joint Base Andrews in Maryland for an unannounced, mysterious trip to Palm Springs International Airport.
Neither the Vice President’s office nor the White House gave a single reason for Kamala’s mystery trip. In fact, the press corps was prevented from even observing her departure from Andrews.
Harris’ official schedule showed no public or private events in Palm Springs. So what the heck was she doing there?
Whatever it was, it didn’t take long. Kamala was back in DC by Saturday. And, big surprise, her return trip was also kept under wraps.
As a side note, how long does it take to get Botox injections?
When Kamala arrived in Palm Springs Friday, the mayor, Christy Gilbert Holstege, did tweet out a greeting to the VP. But even so, local Democrats said they were taken by surprise by the news that Kamala was coming to town.
Kamala arrived at the Palm Springs airport where a heavy police presence escorted her motorcade downtown.
None of your bee’s wax!
Appropos of nothing, but there happen to be six plastic surgeons’ offices in downtown Palm Springs.
Also, for the record, Palm Springs is nowhere along the southern border.
It is rather odd that Harris would take a mysterious, taxpayer-funded overnight trip anywhere. But why go to Palm Springs clear on the other side of the country and not even let your press corps see you off at the airport?
Vice President Harris’ press office refused to offer any explanation.
While Kamala was jetting off on her mystery flight, President Biden was up on Capitol Hill making one last, desperate attempt to salvage his “Build Back Better” agenda and bring his fractured party together.
Shouldn’t Kamala have a part to play in that? She was a Senator after all. Couldn’t Joe use her to whip up votes in the Senate and bring Sinema and Manchin into line?
What was so important in Palm Springs (*cough* Botox) that Kamala would leave Joe twisting in the wind all by himself?

Helloooooo -- and TGIF!! I took a bit more time last night to relax and finish more of my Deconstructed Journal pages and thought I would share this one. It's a collaboration between one of the students (and DEAR friend) from the class, Mimi DiNatale. When I saw her original page I fell in love with the shapes and colors. It was stunning before -- I had a little bit of guilt working on it. But, I know Mimi won't mind. At the end of the class we swapped pages because this one really spoke to me. From the first moment I looked at it I saw wing shapes from the colors she applied to the page. Still not sure how she created this but it is super cool. I was so lucky that she would part with it.
To create this page I highlighted the wings with a pencil and painted the background with white. When that was dry I journaled with a pencil and added a border and detailed the butterflies with a marker.
It turned out super whimsical and the perfect combination of colors.
And really, couldn't we all learn a thing or two from those beautiful and graceful creatures?
Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your weekend!

Sophie Calle | Souris Calle
“When you say you’re sad about [a dead] cat, it’s a bit obscene for people," Sophie Calle recently told ArtNet. "You can’t say that. I mean, if I say my mother or my father is dead, everyone tells me ‘Oh, poor thing, she lost her mother, oh, poor thing, she lost her father,’ but if we say that about our cat, we seem ridiculous. It makes me laugh, when for me, in my daily life, it was almost more violent, because I lived with my cat. I didn’t live with my parents.”
Calle is talking about a forthcoming 3 LP set that pays tribute to her dead pet, with contributions by Pharrell Williams, the National, Bono, Michael Stipe, Laurie Anderson, Jarvis Cocker, Pascal Comelade and many others.
Titled Souris Calle, the 37 tracks of the tribute were first debuted during Calle’s solo show at Galerie Perrotin in Paris, which opened on Saturday. Visitors to the exhibition can both hear the music and watch videos Calle sent to the musicians for inspiration, along with accompanying texts and photographs.
The album is now available to order in a standard 3xLP edition for 100 Euro, and a deluxe, signed and numbered version for the considerably higher price of 1500 Euro, here.

HOMOEOPATHY FOR PERSONALITY BORDERLINE DISORDER | HOMOEOPATHY FOR BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER
A pattern of unstable, intense relationships, a distorted self-image, extreme emotions, and impulsiveness are all characteristics of borderline personality disorder, a mental health condition that affects how you think and feel about yourself and others and makes it difficult to function in daily life.
Although you want to have loving and long-lasting relationships, inappropriate anger, impulsiveness, and frequent mood swings may drive people away if you have borderline personality disorder. You may find it difficult to tolerate being alone and have a strong fear of abandonment or instability.
Early adulthood is typically the onset of borderline personality disorder, which seems to get worse in young adulthood and may get better gradually as people age.
Don’t give up if you have BPD because many people with it can learn to live happy lives after receiving treatment and improving over time.
CausesThe causes of borderline personality disorder, like those of other mental illnesses, aren’t fully understood, but they may include environmental factors like a history of child abuse or neglect, as well as the following:
Genetics.Personality disorders may be passed down through families or have a strong correlation with other mental illnesses, according to some twin and family studies.
Brain abnormalities.In addition, certain brain chemicals that help regulate mood, such as serotonin, may not function as they should, according to some research, which has shown changes in specific brain regions related to emotion regulation, impulsivity, and aggression.
Symptoms: People with borderline personality disorder experience changes in their self-perception, interpersonal relationships, and behavior.
Among the warning signs and symptoms are:
A strong desire to avoid separation or rejection, even at the cost of going to extreme lengths to do so.
A history of erratic, intense relationships, such as a tendency to suddenly despise or despise someone after once holding them in high regard.
Rapid shifts in goals and values, as well as the perception that one’s self is flawed or nonexistent, can affect one’s self-identity and self-image.
Momentary to hour-long bursts of stress-related paranoia and disconnection from reality
Risky and impulsive behavior, including sabotaging success by abruptly leaving a successful job or a satisfying relationship.
Self-harming or suicidal threats, often brought on by a fear of being abandoned or rejected
Extreme mood swings that can last anywhere from a few hours to a few days and include feelings of extreme joy, irritability, guilt, or anxiety.
· Ongoing feelings of emptiness
Excessive, inappropriate rage, such as yelling frequently, being cynical or resentful, or engaging in physical altercations
Risk factors–Borderline personality disorder can be more likely to develop as a result of some personality development-related factors, such as:
Hereditary predisposition.If your mother, father, brother, or sister, or any other close relative, has the same or a related disorder, you may be at a higher risk.
Stressful childhood.Some people with the disorder lost or were separated from a parent or close caregiver when they were young, had parents or caregivers with substance abuse or other mental health issues, while others were exposed to hostile conflict and unstable family relationships. Many people with the disorder report being sexually or physically abused or neglected as children.
Personality.Borderline personality disorder may be influenced by personality characteristics like aggression and impulsivity.
Complications–Intimate relationships, employment, education, social activities, and your self-image can all suffer from borderline personality disorder, which can have a negative impact on all of these areas of your life.
Consistently losing or changing jobs
· Not completing an education
Various legal concerns, including potential jail time
Relationships that are contentious, stressful marriages, or divorce
Self-harming behaviors like cutting or burning, as well as repeated hospital stays
· Involvement in abusive relationships
Physical fights brought on by irrational and risky behavior, including unintended pregnancies, STDs, car accidents, and other mishaps.
· Attempted or completed suicide
You might also suffer from additional mental health conditions, like:
Using drugs or alcohol improperly
· Anxiety disorders
· Eating disorders
· Bipolar disorder
· Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
· Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
· Other personality disorders
Homoeopathic remedies are chosen in accordance with the uniqueness of the patient and are successful in treating borderline personality disorders without causing any side effects. Some of the significant remedies are listed below:
ANTIMONIUM CRUDUM 200-Patients with Borderline Personality Disorder who want to end their lives because they have lost the love for life and have no desire to live are helped by Antimonioum Crudum because they are cross and contractive and nothing they do makes them happy.
AURUM METALLICUM 200Patients with aurummetallicum are very serious, intensely focused on work and achievement, and they become depressed if they feel they have failed in some way. Nervous breakdown. Thoughts of suicide but fears death greatly. Disgusted of life and thoughts. Profound despondency. Peevish. Rapid and constant questioning without waiting for answers. Oversensitive to n.
CHAMOMILLA 200The sudden outbursts of anger due to contradiction or when the feelings are hurt can be best managed by homeopathic medicine Chamomilla. remedy is also of great assistance to patients who admit that they are unable to control their temper and those who want to do everything as per their own preferences.
BELLADONNA 200Belladona is a useful medication for managing impulsive patients who slap, bite, or spit on people in the vicinity while having a red and hot face.
CROCUS SATIVA 200When a patient with borderline personality disorder experiences sudden mood swings from extreme happiness to sadness, Crocus Sativus is an effective homeopathic remedy. The patient needs this remedy when they experience sudden outbursts of affectionate joy and anger that are followed by fits of repentance. Their anger is violent and alternating with fits of repentance.
IGNATIA AMARA 200Ignatia Amara is another helpful remedy for mood swings in Borderline Personality Disorder patients who are of a sensitive nature and find it very difficult to control their emotions. In Ignatia, patients of BPD have a history of some grief or disappointment in love affections prior to onset of the disease. They are experiencing unbearable feelings of sadness or grief.
LAC CANINUM 200-Patients who are depressed, believe they are unlovable, feel no one cares about them, cry frequently, and fear being alone respond well to Lac Caninum.
LILIUM TIGRINUM 200-Such patients are so irritable that they cannot utter a decent word to anyone, even if the other person speaks in the mildest possible tone. The patients are known to sit for a long time thinking about themselves and don’t want to be disturbed. They get extremely irritated if disturbed and are unable to speak to anyone properly. LiliumTigrinum is an effective remedy of great help for patients of Borderline Personality Disorder who get aroused from even a slight emotional excitement with palpitations
MOSCHUS 200-Moschus is another effective medication that is very helpful in treating sudden fits of anger in patients with borderline personality disorder, who even scold others until their face turns blue and they faint and fall down. Moschus is also an effective remedy for stubborn and self-willed people who right from their childhood have the condition.
NUX VOMICA 200If opposed, such patients have violent destructive impulses, such as an impulse in a woman to destroy her husband, to tear things, and toss her child. NuxVomica patients cannot even bear a chair to come in the way of their walking and, if such a situation arises, they just kick it to clear the way.
HEPAR SULPH 200Hepar sulph is another remedy that is very effective in curbing impulsive behavior in people with BPD, who are easily upset by trivial matters and are prone to violent impulses like the urge to kill one’s best friend, destroy the world, and set things on fire for no apparent reason.
SEPIA 200-Sepia is a great homeopathic remedy for people with borderline personality disorder who become irritable for no apparent reason and feel depressed. These people are also averse to conversation and cannot tolerate having their opinions challenged. They are also averse to any kind of work, whether it be mental or physical, and are indifferent to their family and those they care about most.
STRAMONIUM 200Stramonium is a different treatment option for impulsiveness, which manifests as tearing clothes, cursing, and screaming uncontrollably until the voice is lost.
STAPHYSAGRIA 200This homeopathic medicine is the ideal treatment for patients who can control their anger to the highest possible limit before becoming violent and destructive and throwing things when the level rises (Staphysagria have a tendency towards destructiveness in Borderline Personality Disorder).
VALERIANA 200 —Patients with Borderline Personality Disorder who experience mood swings, especially while sleeping and at night, and who feel better by moving around, as well as those who are easily excited, tremble, and experience nighttime hallucinations, find that valeriana is a very effective treatment for these symptoms.

This was because Dobric had become one of Bulgaria’s largest repositories of reserve planes, aircraft stores and munitions. Deliveries and collections were frequent, but these were always carefully pre-notified to ensure that sufficient staff were on hand to assist with the loading and unloading. So when a trio of unmarked three-ton trucks pulled up outside the locked main gates, the guard in the concrete security post at first more or less ignored them because no such movements had been sch...eduled for that day. He watched with greater interest though when two men wearing Bulgarian Air Force uniforms climbed down from the lead vehicle and walked over to the security post, arguing loudly. Reassured by the sight of the familiar uniforms, the guard didn’t think to pick up the assault rifle leaning against the wall beside him. Behind him, a small and cheap TV set blared out a current pop song, while professional dancers writhed unenthusiastically on the black-and-white screen.

With stay home order in effect across the Katy area, law enforcement officials and nonprofits that serve domestic violence victims are seeing a spike in abuse calls and demands for service, they said. Being stuck at home with financial and emotional strains is taking its toll on the community, they said.
“There was a 27% increase of Domestic Violence cases reported compared to the same time last year. The reason appears to be the stress of the COVID-19, where families disagree about going out or staying at home, the loss of jobs and the stress from the lack of income, the fear of those family members having to go out to work and bring the virus back into the home,” said Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office Sergeant Tim Morris of the department’s Family Violence Division.

When a report comes into the sheriff’s office, a patrol deputy is dispatched to the home and provides a “Victim Assistance Information” booklet to the victim which explains the investigation and prosecution process, Morris said. The pamphlet also provides contact information for resources such as the FBCSO Victims’ Services Liaison, Denise Gruwell.
From there, Gruwell assists the victim in explaining the process which may include obtaining emergency protective orders, working with the district attorney’s office and other steps to facilitate the safety of the victim and the investigation process, Morris said.
Victims may also be referred to a variety of services throughout the county including the Fort Bend County Women’s Center, Fort Bend County Women’s Shelter, social services and Katy Christian Ministries, Morris said. Out of county women’s centers, legal aid services and the office of the Attorney General may provide Crime Victim Compensation and child support services, Morton said. Anger management tools are also provided to the household, he said.
Survivors of domestic violence tend to be at continued and elevated risk of being victimized again, said Susan Hastings, director of Katy Christian Ministries Crisis Center which helps victims of domestic and sexual violence.
Reaching out for recovery
When the Katy Christian Ministries Crisis Center hotline rings, that’s the first step for KCM to get involved, Hastings said. She is concerned that calls have risen dramatically in March and April of 2020 compared to the same months the prior year.
“In March & April of 2019 we recorded 159 hotline calls,” Hastings said. “In March & April of 2020 so far, we recorded 218 hotline calls.”
Hastings said being constrained to stay home by various stay home orders and fear to go out in public where they might catch the virus are contributing factors. But so are several stressors that are the usual contributors to domestic violence but are exacerbated under the social conditions caused by the new coronavirus. These include loss of jobs, financial uncertainty, isolation and health issues.
Child Advocates of Fort Bend, another group helping victims of domestic violence said in an April 27 announcement that it had seen an uptick of child victim interviews by 20% between March 2019 and March 2020.
Once things come to a head and victims reach out to assistance, KCM has been able to provide them with face-to-face advocacy, counseling, crisis intervention, safety planning, shelter placement, legal assistance and other nonprofit partners, Hastings said.
“Katy Christian Ministries addresses the whole person, including their physical, mental and emotion health,” Hastings said. “We achieve this by providing four core programs to our clients; Social Services, Food Pantry, Crisis Center and resale stores.”
The nonprofit already has a hefty workload, Hastings said and the crisis is increasing that workload.
“Last year in 2019 we assessed and worked with 2,227 victims of domestic violence and sexual assault,” Hastings said.
Reaction and recovery
Helping victims recognize and break out of the cycles they are in is important to eliminating the cycle domestic violence victims go through said KCM Executive Director Deysi Crespo.
“A lot of the times the victim does not even realize the impact it has already had in (his or her) life and -those around them, especially the children who then become secondary victims,” Crespo said. “Therefore, psychoeducation is an essential part of the process as we engage with the victims.”
Prevention can be difficult because people who are on the pathway toward a breaking point don’t always recognize it, especially in stressful times, Crespo said. However, KCM and other community resources such as pastors can provide counseling and help to interceded before things get out of hand, she said.
“I still would like to encourage those who recognize they are losing control during this time to reach out to their place of worship or any other church in our community. Spiritual health and connectedness are equally important. They can also get plugged-in with many counseling centers in our city or surrounding areas such (as) Martin Counseling in Katy, Houston Center for Christian Counseling, and many more counseling partners that our staff can guide (them) to.”
Advocates are important for victims to have access to said CAFB CEO Ruthanne Mefford. The nonprofit offers advocacy through Court Appointed Special Advocates – or CASAs – that help minors navigate domestic violence issues. Providing services during a near-lockdown environment has been difficult she said.
“Fortunately for the children of Fort Bend County, we are better equipped to handle both the challenges of providing services digitally and the spike in the need for services than w were a year ago, Mefford said. “Our renovation included digital upgrades that have allowed our staff to more easily shift to working digitally and we have both the space and the staff to meet the increased need.”
Crespo said those looking to find out more about how they can help prevent domestic violence in the community can reach out to KCM at 281-391-4504 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.org.
While the mitigation is important, all sources mentioned said contacting law enforcement by calling 9-1-1 if a domestic violence event is happening in your home or you think it may be happening nearby is important. Though, they would prefer to prevent the issues in the first place and break the generational cycle as children become secondary victims or later, perpetrators or adult victims.
“Change starts with the victim. Let's break the cycle of violence now to reduce the likelihood of children becoming the victims or perpetrators later on in their adult life,” Crespo said.

Towards the end of the nineteenth century, the techniques of photographic art reproduction were perfected and photography from paintings developed as a new line of business. In this context, the imperial painting collection also aroused international interest. The impending transfer of the collection from Belvedere Palace to the newly built Museum am Ring was seized as an opportunity to have the Old Master paintings systematically photographed for the first time. The difficulty was to reproduce the colorfulness of the paintings in black and white photographs.
In 1888, the court photographer Josef Löwy was awarded the contract to carry out this task. He set up a provisional open-air studio in the garden parterre of the Belvedere. With the help of a photographic turntable that could be adjusted according to the amount of sunlight, Löwy was able to photograph hundreds of paintings outdoors – for the first time under natural light. The results, which were highly praised by the press at the time, still bear witness today to the photographer’s meticulous working methods and his drive for the ideal reproduction.
The exhibition shows paintings, glass negatives, original prints as well as technical drawings by Löwy and explains the advanced technical processes of reproduction photography that he used. It is curated by Sabine Pénot and Hanna Schneck. The accompanying catalogue includes essays by Monika Faber, Hanna Schneck, Gerlinde Gruber and Sabine Pénot.

[responsivevoice_button voice=”UK English Female” buttontext=”Listen to Post”]
Conwy councillors will decide later this month whether bin collections should be cut to once every four weeks.
Currently, the local authority collects residual waste every fortnight, but the county could become the first in Wales to collect every 28 days in a bid to save £558,000 a year.
The plans have been recommended for approval by the cabinet, but Clwyd West AM, Darren Millar, has described the measure as ”ludricrous”. Nearly 500 people have joined a ‘Save Our Bin Collections’ page on Facebook opposing the changes.
Mr Mllar, a Conservative, said councillors ignored the views of residents who wanted to keep fortnightly collections when they backed the plans at a meeting on Monday: ”We need to stop these ludicrous proposals and protect this beautiful part of North Wales from becoming a dumping ground…it is vital that we continue fighting against these proposals and I urge all residents who are against four-weekly collections, who haven’t already done so, to back my campaign now.”
Conwy County Council say the changes would encourage more householders to recycle as well as making cost savings. Food waste and recycling collections will still be made every week, along with extra collections at peak times and separate collections for nappies and hygiene products.
A final decision on the plans will be made at a cabinet meeting in Bodlondeb on Tuesday 23rd February.

[The campaign has been re-run because the fund raised last year was only enough for till the second surgery. as the estimated given by the Doctor included only the surgery cost and hospital stays(i.e 50-70k per surgery), her consumable drugs, tests, and as they are far away from the hospital they need to hire a vehicle every time going for a follow up and all this was not covered in the estimation given by the doctor, when all this are accounted the expenditure per surgery stands at around 80 thousands rupees) Thus the shortage, so we have raised the Goal from 2,00,000 to 2,50,000 in which 1,65,885 is already withdrawn for her first and second surgery, so the goal now is 2,50,000-1,65,885=84,115.

After our last post sharing the wonderful places you can visit in Seattle, we wanted to do a special edition focusing on the incredible food in Seattle.
The food scene in Seattle was incredible (and truthfully, was just amazing throughout the PNW and West Coast), with flavors of all kinds, from all cuisines, imaginable.
Whether you’re looking for dessert, for a quick bite, a sit-down meal or a seafood galore, we’ve highlighted some of our favorites from our trip (and of course, this is just a small list of the many, many awesome places to eat at in Seattle). Finally, if you’ve noticed the lack of coffee shops on this post, fret not–we’ve dedicated an entire blog post to (attempt to) cover the truly high-quality coffee shops in Seattle.
Click on any of the buttons to find what you’d like to try, or scroll through to read them all.
pike place market shops
First off, as how most tourist vacations of Seattle begin, we start around the Pike Place Market. Pike Place is one of the oldest continuously operated public farmers’ markets, and is home to a number of restaurants, food and craft stalls, collectible and antique shops, and many many more. It’s a great way to spend some time walking around, grabbing a bite here and there, and creating your own “tasting-flight” of sorts. (Of course, then you’ve got to balance whether you want to get more of the incredible food you just ate, or save room to try another item…)
Piroshky Piroshky: Keep your eyes on the big sign hanging above, or else you might walk straight past this unassuming little Russian bakery that fits about only two customers at a time. Check out the menu in advance so you know what to get, or else you might be hypnotized by the beauty of all the baked goods. We tried the Smoked Salmon Pate, which you can get for about $6, and it shocked us with its simple yet flavorsome profile: the crisp and buttery bread encases a delicious blend of smoked salmon, cream cheese, dill and onion. This was one of those items that you’ll probably never forget, and dream about forever (or at least until the next time you back, hopefully).
Biscuit Bitch: For some “Southern Inspired Fixin’s and Kickass Espresso” and the opportunity to willingly get called “bitch” multiple times, you’ve got to stop at this iconic spot for biscuits. As Texans, we give these Bitchwitches are Southern Stamp of Approval: buttery hot biscuits that are flaky on the outside and fluffy and crumbly inside, with perfectly melted cheese, a just-right egg and a sausage link. It would be an absolute pity to miss out on these. They’ve got a huge variety of biscuits and gravy too, so…
Pike Place Chowder: This place has probably received every award for chowder imaginable, and for good reason: it’s got every type of chowder you could possibly want, and they’re GOOD. Get a flight to try four, or even eight, different chowders; each is unique in its own right, some more sweet, others with a touch of lime, but all are creamy and undeniably great chowders. Lines are long on the weekend, but it does go by fairly quick. We ordered the classic New England clam chowder, a crab and oyster chowder, a smoked salmon chowder, a seared scallop chowder, and the market chowder, which updates almost every day.
Ellenos Greek Yogurt: Yep, you’ve probably (definitely) seen this greek yogurt brand in the grocery stores, but their first yogurt bar actually opened here in Pike Place Market. Stop by for a quick, refreshing dessert that’s both flavorful and healthy. Like an ice cream bar, you can test out and choose from so many different flavors, like the sweet and tart marionberry, a fun brownie batter, spunky pineapple and ginger, or just a plain greek yogurt. Regardless of what you pick, there’s certainly an option for you here.
Jack’s Fish Spot: If you’re visiting on a busy day and want to find a quick place for lunch, Jack’s Fish Spot is for you. The lines here move by really fast, and you’ll be able to order fresh seafood directly from their seafood bar. They’ve also got a fresh seafood counter if you’re looking to buy any to take home to cook yourself. Their fish tacos pair perfectly with a bowl of the warm and creamy classic clam chowder. Otherwise, an order of the fish and chips, where you can choose from a number of different types of fish, are amazing dipped in their tartar sauce. Seating is limited, although you can grab it to go and eat elsewhere less crowded.

The Pink Door (Italian)
The Pink Door was a recommendation from a friend who we went with on our trip; apparently, it was on her list the last time she visited Seattle, but couldn’t get a reservation even a month out in advance. So this time, we put in our reservation three months prior to our visit to make sure we could stop by this iconic place.
Nestled in Post Alley in Pike Place Market, you’d otherwise pass this unassuming spot if it weren’t for the baby pink door (hence, the name) and windows against the grey wall. As you enter, you’ll find yourself literally entering a new world: the staircases lead down to an eclectic and quite large dining area, with more seating outside that overlooks Elliot Bay. We sat outside and ordered the following for appetizers:
- Arancini: rice balls fried and stuffed with lamb ragout and fontina cheese ~ heirloom tomato purée, Calabrian chili, basil
- Antipasto: prosciutto, tuscan bean salad, fresh mozzarella, tapanada, grilled vegetables, salumi and more
- Fresh Northwest oysters
These provided the perfect introduction to what would be coming. Personal favorite was the arancini: they were huge and tasted absolutely amazing with the slightly sweet tomato purée. For our entrées, we ordered:
- Spring Green Risotto: with asparagus, green garlic, lemon and young leeks
- Ravioli al Piselli: hand dipped ricotta, peas, mint with butter, grana padano cheese
- Penn Cove Mussels and Clams: white vermouth, garlic, and a touch of cream with garlic toast
The ravioli was my personal favorite here—the buttery sauce paired so perfectly with the ravioli that encompassed a mouthful of flavors, and my only problem was that I wanted the dish to never end. The spring risotto was surprisingly light but still packed a powerful punch, and the clams and mussels were a bit overpowered by the garlic butter sauce.
Finally for dessert, we ordered:
- Basil Cake: layered with rhubarb jam with vanilla buttercream frosting
- Gianduja Coffee Pie: with candied hazelnuts
Of course, both were incredible. The basil cake is certainly one-of-a-kind, and the option to go for if you’re craving something lighter. The Coffee Pie was much denser and sweeter, but if that’s what you need, it does the job and surely goes above and beyond.

Aqua by el gaucho (featured on Buzzfeed’s worth it)
After seeing Steven and Andrew from Worth It fall in love with this waterside restaurant filled with amazing food and even better views, we figured we’d have to make a stop here ourselves too.
[Since our basic economy Delta flight meant no suitcase for this trip, we were slightly under-dressed, so if this is a place you want to try out, would recommend a business causal outfit of sorts.]
We sat outside to get a lovely view of the water and because it was so beautiful outside. For starters, we ordered half a dozen of the local fresh oysters. As good as they were, I will say that for $27, you could get a larger (and just as good) quantity elsewhere in the city. Our entrées and shared sides were:
- Grilled Sea Bass: braised radishes, turnips, kale, curried carrot butter
- King Salmon: chile spiced broccoli rabe, pork belly, mushroom glace
- Crab Mac ‘n Cheese: dungeness au gratin, strozzapreti, white cheddar and parmigiano reggiano, garlic butter, cream
- Sweet Roasted Yellow Corn: mesquite and chipotle lime butter, local honey
The entrées tasted absolutely magical: the sea bass basically melted in your mouth, and the purée paired so well with the, dare I say, juicy and succulent, salmon. The sweet yellow corn is an incredible side, particularly with all the seafood, and acts as a good palate cleanser to some degree. As for the mac ‘n cheese, I’d say you could probably pass this for some of the other options they have: I’m huge on the cheesiness of mac ‘n cheese, the decadence of it all, and this one felt more like a generic pasta with some cheese and crab.
All that said, I think Aqua is a great place to go to for a fancy and beautiful dinner with your special others. But if you’re not willing to spend an exorbitant amount of money and would rather eat good food elsewhere, there are certainly other options elsewhere.

Fuji Bakery: You’ll definitely want to stop by here for some of the BEST desserts and baked goods. There are two locations, and we stopped by the one in Chinatown to grab breakfast and snacks before we headed out for a day of hiking in Discovery Park. Fuji is located on a corner of a street, with windows filled with awesome-looking items before you round the corner to see a window for ordering. We ordered both the chicken katsu sando and the egg salad sando. The chicken one is certainly more flavorful with the katsu sauce and filling, but the egg salad is a classic, filled with soft and yummy Japanese-styled egg salad. Among other items that we ordered were the Ube Malasada (soft and airy malasada filled with our house made ube custard — a must get!), a lemon-curd-esque Malasada, the Milk Stick (Fuji Bakery’s signature milk buttercream filled soft Japanese Milk Bread), and a chocolate croissant with caramelized bananas on top. Sounds good? They were.
Salt & Straw: Now, this one isn’t a Seattle local (it’s a Portland-based, West-coast chain store), but you really can’t go wrong with Salt & Straw, whether you’re in Portland, Seattle or somewhere in Cali. We stopped by here after a long day of hiking and got some of our favorite flavors, including the Olive Oil and Honey Lavender. If you can’t decide which flavor to go with, choose a flight of four like we did!

The Walrus and the carpenter
THE OYSTERS. That’s really all I have to say–if you’re an oyster lover, you absolutely absolutely have to come here. You can try a variety of the oyster options that they offer, and the flavors can range from sweeter and buttery to more sharper, salty and briny. If you want to have that experience, The Walrus and The Carpenter offers you a chance to expand your oyster consumption experience.
We paired our oysters with some of their house-made bread and butter. The rest of our order were:
- scallop crudo, salsa tinta, picholine olives, sunchoke, chervil
- steak tartare, egg yolk, rye crisp
- grilled sardines, walnut, parsley, shallot
- fried halibut collar
The scallop crudo absolutely took the cake here: the plump scallop with the cream provided the perfect combination, with some texture from the radishes. Steak tartare maybe was a little too much raw items for us, but still tasted absolutely incredible. The fried halibut collar surprisingly had more meat on it than we had envisioned, and was a great way to round up the meal.
The featured cocktails here are also a must try, if cocktails are your thing. Their cocktails are creative and fun and are the perfect way to end your evening on a sweet note.

Just released Q2 survey from San Francisco’s CleanTech Group LLC and the consultancy company DeLoitte LLP reports $1.2 billion in VC clean tech investments across North America, Europe, China and India.
Topline: “Moderate” rebound from “significant” declines. “It looks like we have bounced off the bottom,” said Brian Fan, the Cleantech Group’s senior director of research. “One quarter isn’t a trend, but it looks like the worst is behind us.”
— EVs and biofuels ($442 million total) get the lion’s share. South San Francisco’s renewable oil producer, Solarzyme Inc. nabbed $57 million in Series C financing.
— Battery technology companies received $165 million. Solar investment ($114 million) hits “new low.”
— Of the 94 companies getting VC money, North America accounted for 66% of the total. Europe and Israel accounted for 21%, India 11%, China 1%.
