This is ratio of weight in kilograms to the square of height in meters. This parameter helps doctors judge whether the person will suffer from heart disease or strokes. Those having a BMI of 25-29.9 are considered overweight and those with a BMI of 30 are considered obese. However, this parameter is not always accurate in measuring belly fat. In fact, you can measure your belly fat with a measuring tape in front of the mirror, and set your own targets to reduce belly fat. Looking at the mirror and checking regularly will motivate you to lose the unhealthy fat lining your abdomen.
The Shred Diet is a cycle diet, which means that if you haven’t hit your goal weight after six weeks, you can repeat the cycle of weeks in a different order. Once you’ve hit your target weight, you’ll be in the maintenance phase, which means that every 4 weeks you choose any week of the diet and follow its plan for 7 days. Once you’ve kept the weight off for a period of six months, you can commit to a week of the cycle to do every eight weeks, like a tune-up for your metabolism.
You should already be following a diet to get lean, and should therefore be aware of how much you’re eating. But to remove any guesswork, we’ll give you some numbers to hit for the week: Consume one gram of protein and 10–11 calories for every pound of your body weight; 20% of those daily calories should be from fat, and the remainder from carbs. (Remember to first subtract the protein calories you’re also eating from the total allowed before you calculate the number of carbs.)
If you’ve been eating fast food for years, get real about your approach: You’re probably not going to stick to an organic, gluten-free, paleo overhaul for very long. "You want to change as little as possible to create calorie deficit," says Dr. Seltzer, who insists the best way to support sustainable weight loss is to incorporate small changes into existing habits. So instead of giving up your daily BLT bagels in favor of an egg-white wrap, try ordering your sandwich on a lighter English muffin. Or say you eat a snack bar every afternoon: Swap your 300-calorie bar for a 150-calorie alternative. "Your brain will feel the same way about it, so you won’t feel deprived," he says.
Fiber works its weight loss magic in multiple ways. It helps you feel fuller, longer so eating fiber-rich foods is the dieting equivalent of working smarter, not harder. Plus, fiber takes a long time to digest, so fiber-rich foods don’t cause spikes in blood sugar that can send your insulin levels soaring. On the other hand, when you eat the so-called bad carbs (the refined or sugary ones that lack fiber), you may wind up with an insulin response that promotes fat storage. The takeaway: More fiber equals less fat storage.
It might not build you like Popeye overnight, but add a bit of the green stuff on the side of your plate if you want to lose weight fast. It’s thanks to spinach’s ecdysteroids, natural compounds found in the veg, that increase the levels of protein adiponectin, which makes fat cells more sensitive to insulin, and breaks down fat. It’s really that easy.

One of the very first cardio exercises to reduce belly fat is walking. Surprised? Do you think it’s too simple to be effective? Well, then you should know that walking is a great and effective way to burn away that ugly belly fat. In fact, it is an excellent fat burner for your entire body. If you follow a healthy diet along with walking at a steady pace for 30-45 minutes for at least four to five days every week, you will witness a gradual decrease in your weight.
“But Jon, won’t I piss every 30 minutes?” I can hear you say. Well, you will at first. But after your body adjusts, you’ll only pee a few times a day. And even if you do have to pee a lot more, isn’t it worth it to torch off pounds of fat? Just do GOWAD until you’re thin, and down the water intake if it makes you pee that much. Don’t be a bitch and make excuses.
We also love yoga, hula-hooping (yep, great for the abs) and the good standby “Abs of Steel” videos, and trust me the outfits in the 1990’s video will increase the cardio aspect just from laughter alone! There are also a slew of videos online, find one you love and can stick to every few days and you’ll be toning as you shed the unwanted belly fat.
"Anytime you’re stressed, you probably go for food," Dr. Seltzer says. (Have we met?!) That’s because cortisol, the stress hormone, stokes your appetite for sugary, fatty foods. No wonder it’s associated with higher body weight, according to a 2007 Obesity study that quantified chronic stress exposure by looking at cortisol concentrations in more than 2,000 adults’ hair.
You don’t have to be the next Usain Bolt in the making to enjoy some serious belly-slimming results from hitting the track from time to time. Even a moderate-rate jog a few times a week can blast through that belly fat; in fact, a study conducted at Duke University Medical Center found that, over the course of an eight-month study, overweight adult study subjects who jogged 12 miles a week lost the most belly fat and burned 67 percent more calories than participants who did an equivalent amount of resistance exercise, or a combination of cardio and resistance work.
And that raises the most important point: Thinking about exercise as a way to work off food or simply allow you to eat sets up a host of unhealthy and unhelpful thought patterns and habits around food and exercise. For instance, one 2013 research review found that, not only did people generally overestimate how many calories exercise burned—when they did work out, they ramped up their food intake. And if you overeat following exercise, any caloric deficit created during your workout can become a wash. And related: thinking of food as a reward and exercise as a punishment is likely to sabotage your weight loss efforts anyway.

- Artist: Dwele
- Track: I'm Cheatin'
- Producer: G-1 [for 916 Music, Inc.]
- Album: Sketches of a Man
After years of under-the-radar work, R&B/soul singer Dwele must be hoping that his guest appearances on singles by Common (The People) and Kanye West (Flashing Lights) will be his big-name ticket to stardom. Undaunted by the closing of his former label, Virgin Records, the Detroit native has found a new home with well-known mid-major Koch Records and will release his upcoming third studio album, Sketches of a Man. On the album's first single, Dwele admits "I'm Cheatin'," and that it must stop immediately. While some might assume by his admission that he has a death wish, Sacramento producer G-1's smooth guitar beat relaxes the mood and calms the emotion. Sketches of a Man is set for release on June 24.

Klobuchar: Money for new public safety building will help save lives on the Iron Range
CHISHOLM, MN-- Minnesota’s senior senator visited the Iron Range Friday to celebrate a big step forward for a life-saving project.
Senator Amy Klobuchar helped secure $3.5 million in federal funding to build a new fire hall and public safety building in Chisholm.
Their current location is more than a century old and isn’t fit for modern technology or emergency vehicles.
Klobuchar said this money will help save lives.
“We’re going to see this new project and those fire trucks going in and it’s going to be really positive for Chisholm and the surrounding area,” Klobuchar said.
City leaders are hoping to put the new public safety building on the east end of town at the former wastewater treatment plant building.
Meanwhile, $2.5 million in federal money is going to a centralized water treatment plant on the range.
That will serve East Mesabi communities and reduce utility costs.

Al Fayed has told Khan the much-maligned Michael Jackson statue must stay at Craven Cottage - or his moustache will get the chop.
"Michael Jackson will stay. He can't go, he is here," Al Fayed said, turning to Khan.
"It is part of the deal, it is history, it is listed. You can't change otherwise I will come and take your moustache in public. He knows that."

Democratic leaders and lawmakers slammed President Trump on Tuesday after his denuclearization summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, citing U.S. concessions to Kim and North Korea’s human rights record.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) accused Trump of handing his North Korean counterpart vague concessions.
“Apparently, the President handed Kim Jong-un concessions in exchange for vague promises that do not approach a clear and comprehensive pathway to denuclearization and non-proliferation,” Pelosi said in a statement.
She went on to hit North Korea’s human rights record and accused Trump of elevating North Korea to the level of the U.S.
“In his haste to reach an agreement, President Trump elevated North Korea to the level of the United States while preserving the regime’s status quo,” Pelosi said.
“The millions of families currently living in fear of nuclear weapons in the region deserve strong and smart leadership built on diplomacy and engagement with our regional partners and allies.”
Trump announced after the meeting that U.S.-South Korean military exercises would end during negotiations with North Korea.
The president also said that Pyongyang agreed to destroy a “major” missile testing site after he and Kim signed a joint statement making a broad commitment for the U.S. to provide North Korea with “security guarantees” in return for denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.
However, Democrats continued to hit Trump for his praise for Kim during the summit, which included saying the North Korean leader loves his country.
“This is an abdication of American leadership. Just embarrassing,” Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) wrote in a tweet.

— Brian Schatz (@brianschatz) June 12, 2018
Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) slammed the president’s comment, citing North Korea’s poor human rights record.
“Loves it so much that he has them impoverished and enslaved except for those he murders. Loves his country?” Cohen said.

— Steve Cohen (@RepCohen) June 12, 2018
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said in a tweet that Kim’s human rights abuses had been legitimized on the global stage.
“U.S. gives up one of our biggest negotiating chips – military exercises. North Korea ends up BACKTRACKING on previous promises on denuclearization. What the hell?” Murphy tweeted.
Kim’s gulags, public executions, planned starvation, are legitimized on the world stage.
U.S. gives up one of our biggest negotiating chips – military exercises.
North Korea ends up BACKTRACKING on previous promises on denuclearization.
What the hell?
— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) June 12, 2018
The president called Kim a “very talented man” who “loves his country very much,” adding that it was an “honor” to meet the North Korean leader.
“A worthy negotiator…a very worthy, very smart negotiator. We had a terrific day and we learned a lot about each other and our countries,” Trump said.
North Korea is notorious for having a poor human rights record against its own people and foreigners, including Americans.
U.S. college student Otto Warmbier died last year after being detained for 17 months in North Korea.
When asked about human rights abuses in North Korea, Trump said abuses happen in “a lot of places.”
“I believe it’s a rough situation over there,” Trump said during a press conference. “It’s rough in a lot of places, by the way, not just there.”

Give us a few details and we’ll match you with the right pro.
COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONING REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE
Who has the proficiency to manage maintenance and repair services for AC units?
The best candidate for central air conditioning repairs is someone with the training to work on a range of HVAC units. Look for a qualified and adept technician with years of experience in the field who will have the tools to inspect and diagnose issues as soon as possible. Through full-scope analysis, they'll be able to assess what sort of maintenance is required to ensure the best operation. Although homeowners can handle simple upkeep, a technician can carry out yearly tune-ups and repairs. In addition to upkeep, they understand how to install and replace both air conditioners and heaters to improve your home's whole HVAC potential.
At what frequency is it necessary to perform maintenance repairs on your air conditioning?
For the best durability and efficiency, it's essential to get yearly AC maintenance checks. In general, a system that's maintained once per year probably works more efficiently. An inspection in the spring is sufficient to ensure that it's tuned up appropriately to endure the heat and humidity of warmer months. Part of a maintenance inspection might involve checking refrigerant levels, lubricating parts, and ensuring unclogged drainage lines. A certified HVAC contractor can take care of tuneups, but meanwhile, there is some simple maintenance you can do, including replacement filters and cleaning, which will increase its lifespan.
What services are included in AC repairs?
HVAC professionals take a comprehensive approach to AC maintenance so that all its parts and systems will keep operating optimally. Preventative upkeep is meant to lengthen the lifespan of the system and get it to perform as efficiently as possible. During an annual maintenance inspection, these parts are assessed to determine if anything needs to be fixed:
- Condenser fan motor and drainage
- Blower motor and ductwork
- Fins and condenser coils
- Evaporator and condenser controls
- Refrigerant level (check for leaks)
- Disconnects and access panels
- Electric connections
How do you keep a central air conditioner system in good shape?
Maintaining a central air conditioning system can involve cleaning the coils, making sure the condensate drain line is clear, and changing out air filters. Like any major home appliance, preventative upkeep will allow your system to run as effectively as possible. Its increased lifespan will cool down your home even when the weather is at its hottest outside. By making sure that nothing is obstructing the drains, fan, and other essential parts, the unit will provide sufficient cooling and airflow. While this sort of routine cleaning is simple to do yourself, you need to recruit a professional HVAC specialist once per year to do a full tuneup.
Find a Trained Contractor for Air Conditioning Repairs in Roanoke, Alabama
Make your home more pleasant by taking care of maintenance repairs for your central AC unit. Ensuring that your AC is functioning to the highest standards is more convenient with an annual inspection, which will detect any issues and the maintenance needed to fix them. Hiring a professional to take care of preventative services will stop issues from getting worse and help you avoid expenses associated with replacement parts, labor, or installing a new system. A trained HVAC contractor will understand what to check for and how to perform central AC maintenance through their experience working in the field.

Can anyone tell me what the typical wholesaling fees are in South Bend/Elkhart area? Does $5000 to $10,000 sound normal for hear? Also, what are flippers making on deals in general? I know that in other parts of the country a flipper will not touch a property if the profit is less than $50,000. Not sure that is so reasonable here by would love to get feedback. Thanks so much and happy Holidays
I've purchased several properties from local wholesalers and have found that $5K is about right. I don't begrudge them making a profit, but find that the the bigger issue is whether they can actually add value with the $5K fee added on. I've seen too many houses advertised by wholesalers where the price makes perfectly good sense to them, but they have not left enough flesh on the bone to make it worth my while.
For fix and flips, I try to focus on the first time home buyers. Houses in the $125-150K range. The sweet spot seems to be a purchase around $30-35K, $30-35K in rehab and a sale at $125-130K. There's some room there for the unexpected challenges that I'll find when I open up a wall during rehab and still be able to make a profit.

Justice Hamza Muazu of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja, has issued a one week ultimatum to the Department of State Services, DSS, to either charge the detained suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Godwin Emefiele to court or set him free.
The Judge issued the order on Thursday while delivering ruling in a fundamental human rights suit instituted against the DSS and others by Emefiele.
Justice Muazu held that the DSS has power to carry out its constitutional duties of making arrest, detention and ensuring prevention of internal crime, but however said that such duties must be carried out within the ambit of the law.
He said that the arrest power of the DSS was not beyond the stipulated conditions under which a Nigerian citizen must be held and for how long.
Emefiele had dragged the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, Director General DSS and DSS to court, seeking enforcement of his fundamental human rights to freedom of movement and dignity to human life.

One of the most important asset emotionally intense people, and those who live and work with them, need to develop is an extensive feeling vocabulary. Not being able to ACCURATELY articulate (in words or through actions, music, art, movement, journaling, etc) our and other’s feelings can lead to frustration and a reluctance to communicate. Learning the nuances of the expression of emotion leads to validation of feelings and it gives partners, parents, friends, and siblings the language to help the intense person to recognize, accept, express and understand their myriad of feelings.
Here are a number of activities that help to increase a feeling vocabulary. Try these and then have your family create their own.
· Place a list of feeling words on the refrigerator to peak curiosity (see the following list)
· Choose a feeling word for the day — jointly look it up in the dictionary and be sure everyone in the family is now familiar with its meaning
· Chose a feeling word and act out how that might look; draw a picture of the feeling; create a dance that expresses the felling, etc.
· Pick a word and find all the synonyms you can for it. Talk about how the feelings differ. For example…
· Pick a feeling, find all the synonyms, and then place them in order of intensity from mild to intense. For example:
· REMEMBER feelings are subjective–it is possible to have three people order feeling words differently.

So I suppose the people who know me best would expect me to cop out of this next "assignment" in the photo blog. And it's true, I'm not one to lay bare that kind of thing in a public forum like this. Though sometimes I think "why not? There's a certain awesome part of being so in love and letting everyone know it".
I guess to me love is intimacy and has a certain aspect of the sacred. And while I don't need it to be secret, I kind of like the idea of just letting it explode when it's ready to. When I'm ready for it and when whoever it is that I'm readying for is ready for it. Obviously, if you read a few posts back, you'd know I've been in love my fair share of times thus far. And in thinking about it just now I can say this....the coolest thing, to me, was not ever the advertising. I think some people go out of their way to advertise how SO IN LOVE they are and how FANTASTIC THEIR FABULOUS LOVER IS. PERFECT LIFE. SEXY HUSBAND. And ok, cool, good on you if you're really that happy, but sometimes it reads sorta insincere or haughty. That's not what I'm looking for.
I think the most exciting times, to me, in that respect, were being told out of the blue by strangers that they SAW the love. Because to me, though sometimes it was jarring...almost always a little jarring, really...it was kind of amazing. It was so neat to have someone say "you know, I look at you guys, and I just SEE that you love each other".
I guess it's an old writer's mantra: show, don't tell.
Anyway, so...I'm breaking that rule right now, but anything my heart's tied up in right now is mine, and it's not ready to be shown or told.


Members of the public are about to get their first look at some of the detail behind Environment Waikato’s Project Watershed.
The Project is designed to come up with a fair and equitable funding vehicle for soil conservation, flood protection and river management works in the Waikato and Waipa River systems.
Four page newsletters being inserted into community newspapers this month give indicative costs for the type of work envisaged for the six management zones which come under the Project. To make the information more relevant to local communities, four versions of the newsletter have been produced for each affected area.
Environment Waikato chairman Neil Clarke says Project Watershed is about deciding what river management, soil erosion and flood protection works will be carried out in the Waikato/Waipa River catchments. The newsletters include the names of local liaison committee members as well as local councillors and staff members working on Project Watershed who can be contacted for further information.
“It is important to stress that this is an information-sharing exercise. A formal public consultation programme will be carried out next year, but we hope that public input at this time will enable us to formulate draft management plans which are in line with public thinking.”

Last year was not a good year. Despite many successes I felt a gloomy storm that would shade my joy. I couldn’t find it; my love and passion for life. I was stuck in misery. So many would see my strength and smiling face, but below the hood the mechanics were off. I tried with all my might to fix me, but I merely walked on. Through chats with my therapist she applauded my record, but asked what does Stacy want? For Stacy has accomplished so much yet still she longs for more.
This is true as she says, I always want more. My greatest enemy and friend is time. I try to chase it, save it and sometimes even erase it. Happy to say I am finding my flow, but it doesn’t come without the appropriate work. Looking to find the sufficient balance. I am painting a beautiful story that I can read back with a laugh. It’s not that serious and I will be fine, I always am even in the worst of times.
I am astonished at how many of my dreams new and old have come true. It is shaping up to more then I planned. Seems that I had to say ‘NO’ to that which no longer served my soul. I commanded that my ungrateful selfish nature leave. I wanted the other me. I let the uncontrollable events unfold. I moved with them in a swift embrace. It was exactly as it was before the beauty that was always there from the start.

In an effort to tackle Global warming and other environmental degradation challenges, the Sustainable African Initiative has entered Partnership with Universities to engage students in Climate Risk Research in Northern Nigeria.
This was contained in a statement signed by Abubakar Shuaibu, a founder and Chief Executive Officer of Green Energy Mission Africa and Lead consortium member of the Sustainable Africa Initiative.
The statement explained that Bayero University Kano and Aliko Dangote University of Science and Technology are among the universities engaged in Northwest Nigeria for conducting the research.
It also stated that, under the agreement, some selected students will be given training and tools to go back to their respective communities and research climate change’s impact on agricultural development in the area.
“The project is aimed at building the student’s capacity to be part of the vanguard for fighting against global warming and other environmental degradation threatening human life and the entire ecosystem.
“The research is expected to help in finding out the major environmental challenges in every community and also share the research findings with the community to enable them to understand the risk and also join their hands in tackling the problem,” the statement revealed
However, according to the statement, engaging the young generation in Climate Change Risk Research and sharing the findings with the immediate community will help in providing sustainable solutions to the problem.
The project is financed by other donor partners including; Climate Risk Research Foundation, Sustainable Solutions for Green Growth, the Linux Foundation’s OS-Climate, AWS, Generation Humanity, London Stock Exchange, Open Earth Foundation, and Green Energy Mission Africa. The participating students in the research competition will be given grants and prizes at the end of the program.
SIA also reiterated its commitment to partner with all interested individuals, organizations, governments, and the public in combating the menace of climate change on Agriculture, human life, and the general ecosystem.

Some small print in a financial report from Coinbase has raised eyebrows over a potential bankruptcy scenario and the implications for retail customers’ crypto assets stored on the platform.
In its 10-Q report on May 11, America’s largest crypto exchange clarified its position on asset custody and safeguarding customer funds. A 10-Q is a quarterly report mandated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, to be filed by publically traded companies.
However, there was a section that raised eyebrows among the crypto community regarding the possibility of bankruptcy. It read:
"Porrotaren kasuan, gure bezeroen izenean gordeta dauzkagun kripto-aktiboak porrot-prozeduraren menpe egon daitezke eta bezero horiek gure bermerik gabeko hartzekodun orokor gisa tratatu litezke".
Crypto critic ‘CryptoWhale‘ was quick to assert “In other words, when they eventually go bankrupt, they will use YOUR crypto to bail themselves out.”
Coinbase chief executive Brian Armstrong was quick to refute the claims, stating that funds are safe on the platform. In a tweet on May 11, he said that there was no risk of bankruptcy but the company had to include the statement as required by the financial regulator.
“We have no risk of bankruptcy, however we included a new risk factor based on an SEC requirement called SAB 121, which is a newly required disclosure for public companies that hold crypto assets for third parties.”
He went on to label the current market crash as a “black swan event” but confirmed that Coinbase Prime and Custody customers have “strong legal protections in their terms of service that protects their assets.”
Armstrong added that they were working on adding the same protections for retail customers and apologized for not implementing them earlier. The implication there is that legal protection currently does not exist for retail traders. According to the firm’s Q1 earnings report, only 24% of the trade volume conducted on the platform is by retail clients.
“It is possible, however unlikely, that a court would decide to consider customer assets as part of the company in bankruptcy proceedings,” he added.
COIN price slumps to an all-time low
Coinbase stock has plunged to an all-time low following an earnings report that came in under analysts’ expectations with net losses of $430 million for Q1.
COIN has crashed a further 12% today following yesterday’s rout in anticipation of the disappointing revenue report. The stock is now at an all-time low of $61.55, having crashed more than 80% from its all-time high last year.

These photography tips are a record of new entries to the Daily Photo Tips RSS feed since November 2007. There are currently 1567 tips in the database! Contact Me to comment or add tips.
To find out how various colours will affect a black and white conversion, move each colour mixer slider rapidly back and forth. The sections of the photograph that fade from black to white are areas affected by that particular colour. (First published Aug 30, 2011)
23.Apr.14Some modern mirrorless cameras are extremely small given their flexibility, image quality, and build quality. These cameras are providing a very real alternative to the popular pocketable point-and-shoot style family.
22.Apr.14Take every opportunity to bring at least a small camera setup along. Hiking, biking, and even working can lead you to some beautiful and unusual places – and perfect photo destinations!
21.Apr.14Take care of your eyes! Not only are they crucial for your photography, but even small injuries can hurt and linger for years. Protect your eyes, especially when taking photos in bushy areas.
11.Apr.14Some of the best natural lighting can be found in shallow valleys or canyons surrounded by bright sunlight. Penumbras are easy to find, and short-range diffuse reflected light can produce an attractive contrast level.
10.Apr.14When thinking about displaying your photography on the web, realize that modern Internet viewers will access your work on a variety of devices. The challenge can be to produce an attractive photography display on tiny cellphone screens, the largest desktop monitors and everything in between!
02.Apr.14There is often no need for neutral density filters in a variety of strengths. Since the filter will only be used to filter excess light, simply get the strongest ND filter available for your lenses.
01.Apr.14Some digital camera bodies have quite high minimum ISO settings, sometimes ISO 200 or higher. While they often produce excellent images, this can be annoying to the photographer who wants to use long exposures in somewhat bright light.
24.Mar.14Large conferences or meetings can often provide a lot of work for local photographers in the area. Sometimes these get-togethers can stretch on for days or weeks, and organizers will require photography of awards, ceremonies, and the like.
23.Mar.14The tendency for photographers to stop and linger for long periods can frustrate non-photographers in a group. Plan your outings ahead of time, and make sure people you're with are OK with a stop or two along the way!
21.Mar.14It's worth recording and archiving your current photography collections and galleries (even in snap-shot form) for perusal later. If you're growing as an artist, you should see clear change and progression as years go on!
20.Mar.14Some photos seem almost impervious to subtle adjustments. These photos might need a more 'heavy-handed' approach to make them appear like you remember. Small adjustments on a stubborn photo can leave it looking washed-out and uninteresting.
19.Mar.14If you've recently purchased new equipment, don't fret about it. Once you've made up your mind, concentrate on putting your gear to use instead of further researching your decision.
18.Mar.14If you display your photography online, save frequent backup copies of your images and the state of your web space. Accidental deletion, malware attacks, or web server issues can undo a lot of hard work!
17.Mar.14A proper monitor calibration is less important when a photographer is using a modern 'non-destructive' workflow. Because the photo can be re-opened and adjusted without loss of fidelity, getting colours perfect the first time isn't necessary.
16.Mar.14Some photographs, particularly portraits, can benefit from having the viewer imagine the photographer at the scene. In these photos, a more informal, self-conscious composition is sometimes a benefit to the work.

Zoe Appler of Chicago-Kent College of Law was crowned the winner of Baylor Law’s 2021 edition of the Top Gun National Mock Trial Competition. Appler successfully convinced a jury comprised of experienced litigators and judges to return a verdict in her favor at the end of the competition's intense final round - narrowly defeating Jenna Forster of the University of California Berkeley School of Law. Appler received the $10,000 prize and rightfully earned the title "Top Gun."
“I have wanted to participate in Top Gun since I first found out about the competition as a young, undergraduate competitor at American University. Five years ago, I never could have imagined putting together an entire case in 12 hours. The level of dedication and perseverance that this competition demands is unparalleled,” asserted the 2021 Top Gun winner Zoe Appler. “It was an honor to compete against so many experienced, well-rounded advocates in every round, but the final round was definitely the most special to me,” she added. Appler’s coach, retired justice of the Illinois Appellate Court, First District, David A. Erickson noted, “In the twelve years the Top Gun competition has been going, I have watched, coached, and even judged in ten of them. In that time, it has become the preeminent test for the best trial advocacy students in the country to test their skills against each other. It has been my privilege to be a part of the legacy and I thank the Baylor family for that.”
In a unique twist of fate, Winner Zoe Appler and finalist Jenna Forster were teammates as undergraduate mock trial competitors at American University.
Top Gun is the brainchild of Gerald Powell, the recently retired Abner V. McCall Professor of Evidence at Baylor Law. "Year after year, Baylor Law’s Top Gun Competition provides a forum that challenges the very best student advocates and mock trial competitors," said Powell. "This competition gives these young advocates the opportunity to face the very best of their peers. The challenging nature of the competition gives all of us an opportunity to see these talented law students shine," he added. "I hope all of our competitors leave with a sense of pride in what they have accomplished."
Unlike traditional mock trial competitions, participants do not get to prepare for the case prior to the start of the event. The 16 competitors are given a case file a mere 24 hours prior to the opening rounds. Preparation includes reviewing depositions, records, photographs, and of course, developing a theory of the case. Shortly before each round, competitors are assigned a witness or witnesses who may be used at their discretion during the round. Baylor Law, as the organizing institution, does not field a team.
"Top Gun is unique by design - competitors only have 24 hours to prepare the case; there is only one lawyer for each side- no second chairs to help, and we make the competition even more interesting by making sure that the case file changes in some respect every day of the competition. Adding to the unique aspect of the competition is the award stakes - $10,000 thanks to our generous friends at Naman Howell Smith & Lee," said Baylor Law’s Director of Advocacy Programs, Robert Little.
Baylor Law’s Top Gun National Mock Trial Competition is sponsored by the law firm Naman Howell Smith & Lee, PLLC, which has offices in Austin, Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Waco.
When an employee falls off a converted loading dock at work, who’s responsible? That’s the question that faced this year’s competitors. Jordan Gilmore, an employee of Chimes Department Store regularly uses a landing area in the back of the store to take a smoke break. The landing area, a concrete platform that Chimes uses as a loading dock, has several steps that lead down to the ground below. There is no railing on the landing area or the steps, as Chimes had those removed when they took possession of the building in order to use the area as a loading dock for the store. There wasn’t any light on the landing area that night as the only light behind the store was turned off and Chimes did not have a switch for that light so there was no way to turn it on. Jordan Gilmore was a regular smoker and she had been outside on this landing area many times before this night, both to smoke and to take the trash out to the dumpster behind the store. So, he/she was very familiar with the area.
That night, Jordan Gilmore walked down the steps to the ground below the landing area to smoke a cigarette. Once she was done smoking, Gilmore began to climb the steps back up to the top of the landing area to return to work. However, she took a misstep and began to fall off the steps. To avoid falling to the ground, she jumped, landing on her feet on the ground below. She felt tremendous pain in her knee, but returned to work, only to discover shortly thereafter that she would need a full knee replacement.
Jordan Gilmore brought this lawsuit alleging that Chimes was negligent in failing to make safe or to warn of the dangerous conditions on the premises of its store, and in failing to warn its employees of those dangers or to properly supervise employees when working around those dangers. Specifically, Gilmore claims that Chimes was negligent in failing to make sure this landing area was properly lit, properly marked, in good condition, and in failing to make sure there were railings around that landing area and those steps. Plaintiff will call an expert, Kelly Danes, who will testify about various statutes and codes that are in place that require both lighting and railings in areas like this one.
The Defendant, Chimes Department Store, alleges that it was Jordan Gilmore that was negligent by failing to take proper care when walking up those steps that night. Additionally, Chimes claims that the owner of the building, Kermit Realty Group, was in control of that landing area at the time of the fall, and therefore is ultimately responsible for the condition of the landing area. In addition, the defense called an expert, Perry Hayden, who testified that since Chimes was using that area as a loading dock, they were not legally required to have railings around the area.
The “jurors” for each round of Top Gun are practicing trial lawyers and justices. During Top Gun they act as competition judges rating the performance of the competitors on multiple factors. The Jurors for the final round of Top Gun XII were:
Zoe Appler, Chicago-Kent College of Law
Jenna Forster, University of California Berkeley School of Law
Joy Holden, Harvard Law School
Carolyn McGuigan, Fordham University Law School
In addition to winner Zoe Appler of Chicago-Kent College of Law and finalist Jenna Forster of the University of California Berkeley School of Law, the semi-finalists were Carolyn McGuigan of Fordham University Law School and Joy Holden of Harvard Law School.
Top Gun is the flagship competition in Baylor Law’s ‘Triple Crown’ of intense intramural legal competitions, alongside The Closer, Baylor Law’s demanding, invitation-only transactional law competition, and ‘The Paper Chase,’ the most competitive legal writing contest in Texas.

Two teenagers caught trying to set hay bales on fire in baler
Parents are being reminded to inform their children to act responsibly on the farm after two teenagers were caught attempting to set fire to hay bales inside a baler.
A spokesperson for Derbyshire Rural Crime Team in the UK warned on Facebook of the dangers of being irresponsible with fire on the farm.
“We are currently dealing with an incident in which two 14 year old lads have set fire to a hay bale. Setting light to a bale is never a good idea but when that bale is still in the baler and that baler is attached to a tractor it demonstrates another level of irresponsibility.
“Luckily a member of the public spotted them in the act and the fire was extinguished before any real damage was done,” it said.
The statement said that the two teenagers have been spoken to in front of their parents and reminded parents to remind their children not to be “daft” when it comes to farm safety.
“With the holidays approaching please remind your kids not to be daft and explain how a moment of madness can impact the rest of their lives. The 2 involved in this instance are of good character and their parents are shocked and hugely upset by their actions. You may think ‘my kids wouldn't do a thing like that’ you may be right but a gentle reminder doesn't hurt.”

A decade ago social media managers did not even exist and now here we are in 2018 and the position is arguably one of the most important in modern marketing and comms teams, and increasingly the entire organisation.
Social media continues to permeate all areas and with it social media managers are adapting and evolving to meet the latest needs of their colleagues and customers. Hats off to the social media managers amongst our readers, we know your job isn’t easy! 🙌
So, in today’s rapidly changing world what habits can help social media managers to not only manage the array of responsibilities associated with their roles but truly excel?
1. Stay informed but don’t act impulsively
The main social media platforms change almost weekly while new social channels pop up every couple of months and while it’s important to stay on top of these changes and explore new opportunities, adopting all new technology may not be right for your organisation. 📰
Thoroughly consider how newer tools like Instagram stories and Snapchat could benefit your organisation and if the impact is minimal and resource investment high don’t be afraid to ignore the hype. Likewise, if Twitter is no longer providing you with the results you expect, perhaps it is time to consider a change in channel focus. Either way it’s key to consider the cost versus benefit of each social channel and their tools in depth.
2. Learn from others both inside and outside your sector
Inspiration from other organisations can be powerful to kick start your own ideas for new campaigns, ways of working or tackling that recurring problem you’ve been having. We’ve found that not only is talking to others in your sector valuable, but many concepts and ideas can actually be translated from other industries. Follow organisations or individuals who you consider to be market leaders – to get you started we’ve detailed our top 10 marketers to follow and our list of 6 killer campaigns that drove engagement.
3. Set a social strategy based on research
We all know that building a strong social strategy is one of the main keys to reaching your objectives, but improved social media analytics and tracking means that in-depth research can be carried out to inform your strategy. Consider building your strategy on the following:
- Follower demographics on each of your channels in comparison to your client base – locations, ages, genders to check you’re attracting the right audience
- Which networks do your customers gravitate to for customer service questions?
- Which of your campaigns achieved the best results in the previous year/quarter?📊
- Customer journey to buying i.e. social media to website, or purchases made directly through social media?
- The impact of paid social to help in setting budgets
4. Test different types of social content
It’s easy to get into the rhythm of focusing on one message or using one format to communicate your messages. Testing some alternatives is a great way to confirm that you’re still doing the right thing or that you might improve results by changing it up. This is a particularly valuable exercise when planning a campaign. Creating a couple of test pieces of content and perhaps varying the multimedia used i.e. GIF versus video, is a great way to assess what resources you will need most of.
Don’t forget to assess the success of these tests against your business priorities! 🎯
5. Drive efficiencies with software
It is no longer realistic for social media managers to be able to monitor and manage complex social media environments without the help of a software platform that can automate certain activities. This may be as simple as not having to log into each account separately, through to running complex analytics on social campaigns, and automatically flagging complaints for urgent action. Social media management tools like CrowdControlHQ can help.
6. Establish boundaries!
Finally and perhaps most importantly, successful social media managers delegate and collaborate effectively. It is very easy to end up acting as social media customer service manager, content creator, HR advisor and many other roles without building boundaries and assigning responsibility to the rest of your organisation.
Social media projects have become too large to be managed solely by one or two people 👥. Use evidence to make a case for your customer service team taking responsibility over your inbound customer questions and seek support from IT and HR to manage your colleagues’ access to your social media platforms. This will free up your time to fully put the rest of these habits into practice and drive your social media strategy forward!
Those are our thoughts but let us know what habits you use to keep up your great work by getting in contact @CrowdControlHQ 🏆

How to Create a Standard Black and White Preset to Create a “Vivid Landscape” Look in Lightroom 4
The following is an excerpt from the SLR Lounge Lightroom Workflow System Workshop on DVD, a system designed to increase your post production speed by 5 to 10 times. Click here to view more details.
In previous tutorials, we created a Standard Color Preset and a Standard Black and White Preset in Lightroom 4 to create a “soft portrait” look for our portrait images. We also created a Standard Color Preset to create a “vivid landscape” look for our landscape images. Now, we are going to create a “Vivid Landscape” Standard Black and White Preset. We will be basing our Standard Black and White Preset off of the “Vivid Landscape” Standard Color Preset, so it is a good idea to refer to that tutorial before going on to this tutorial. In this tutorial, we will also go over how to update your preset with current settings.
Watch the Video
Adjusting the Settings for the “Vivid Landscape” Standard Black and White Preset
As mentioned before, we are going to base the “Vivid Landscape” Standard Black and White Preset off of the “Vivid Landscape” Color Preset. Below is the image we will be using for this tutorial.
Once you have selected your landscape image, select the Standard Color Preset under the “Vivid Landscape” category in the Presets Panel. The Presets Panel is located on the left side of Lightroom. As you can see below, we have selected the Standard Color Preset to be applied to our image.
Next, we need to go into the Basic Panel to fix the exposure of our image because our image is slightly underexposed. The Basic Panel can be collapsed and expanded by hitting “Ctrl + 1” and is found on the right side of Lightroom. We are going to dial in the Exposure to +1 so that we have a proper exposure to base our adjustments off of. We are going to leave the other settings as is from the “Vivid Landscape” Standard Color Preset.
Once we have dialed in the exposure, we are going to convert our image to black and white by hitting “V.” Next, we are going to add a little bit of contrast to our image with the Tone Curve. The Tone Curve Panel is directly below the Basic Panel. To expand and collapse this panel, hit “Ctrl + 2.” With the Tone Curve, we are going to boost the Contrast by pulling down the Blacks a bit. We are also going to pull up the Midtone Shadows and Midtone Highlights. Finally, we are going to pull up the Whites a bit as well. We are basically extending out this S-Curve to create a more vivid look in the black and white version of our image. Your Tone Curve should look similar to the Tone Curve below. The 4 points on the Tone Curve from left to right are: Blacks, Midtone Shadows, Midtone Highlights, and Whites.
Since we already have a contrast setting dialed into the preset, we do not want to lift up Contrast even more. If we apply this preset to an image and we want a quick contrast adjustment, we can still adjust our contrast from the actual slider. If we make all of our adjustments in the slider, we have to go down to the Tone Curve to add additional contrast, which can slow things down. As you can see below, we have left the Contrast at +25.
Next, we are going to go down to the Detail Panel, which can be expanded or collapsed by hitting “Ctrl + 5.” We are going to leave all of the settings as they were from the “Vivid Landscape” Standard Color Preset.
Lastly, we will be in the Lens Corrections Panel, which is located right under the Detail Panel. Hit “Ctrl + 6” to expand or collapse this panel. Once again, we are going to leave all of the settings as is.
Creating the “Vivid Landscape” Black and White Preset
To create the “Vivid Landscape” Black and White Preset, click on the “+” sign in the Presets Panel.
Next, a dialogue box should appear like the one below. We are going to name this preset “22 Standard B&W” and this preset will go into the “00 MY MIXOLOGY” folder. Then, hit “Check All” to select all of the settings, but deselect “Lens Corrections,” “Lens Profile Corrections,” “Transform,” and “Chromatic Aberration.” Then hit “Create.”
Once we have created the preset, “22 Standard B&W” should appear beneath the “Vivid Landscape” category in the Presets Panel.
Updating the “Vivid Landscape” Black and White Preset with Current Settings
When we saved our preset, we did not reset the exposure back to 0. We need to go back into the Basic Panel (“Ctrl + 1”) and set the exposure to 0.
Next, go back to the Presets Panel and right-click on “22 Standard B&W.” Select “Update with Current Settings” from the menu.
A dialogue box will appear like the one below. Double-check and make sure that the correct settings are still selected. Then hit “Update.”
Below is our landscape image with the “Vivid Landscape” Black and White Preset applied.
Conclusion & Learn More!
We now have both the Standard Color Preset and the Standard Black and White Preset set up for our vivid images, as well as the Standard Color Preset and the Standard Black and White Preset for our soft portrait images. We can use these 4 presets for basic developing.

In financial markets, investors with different limitations in their access and capacity to process information interact on a daily basis. This dissertation examines the impact of these limitations in explaining different phenomena that are observed in practice. First, I theoretically study the role of risk limits in risk management, and show how they not only help to alleviate the limitations of traders to correctly analyze the collected information, but also convey benefits in the provision of incentives. Second, I analyze the effect of changes in the credit rating of firms on the informativeness of their corresponding stock price when some investors can overreact to salient information, thus affecting overall incentives to acquire information. Third, I examine how heterogeneous beliefs about the ability of a firm’s CEO between insiders and outside investors, and the varying quality of the information that is available to each of them, shape the compensation contract offered to the executive.

“The number of transactions in 2012 was quite strong from a historic perspective. We saw strong year-over-year growth in sales in the first half of the year, but this growth was more than offset by sales declines in the second half. Stricter mortgage lending guidelines resulted in some households postponing their purchase of a home. In the City of Toronto, the dip in sales was compounded by the additional Land Transfer Tax, which buyers must pay upfront,” said Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB) President Ann Hannah.

Manchester City re-sign star left back
Manchester City have re-signed left back Angelino from PSV Eindhoven a year after they sold him to the Dutch club, the Premier League champions said on Wednesday.
The 22-year-old Spanish defender has signed a four-year contract which will keep him at the club until 2023, with British media reporting City activated a 5.3 million pounds ($6.67 million) buy-back clause in his contract.
"I am thrilled to have rejoined City, a side playing incredible football under Pep Guardiola," Angelino said in a statement https://www.mancity.com/news/first-team/first-team-news/2019/july/man-city-sign-angelino-psv-transfer-latest-update. "Watching them while playing in Holland has been a pleasure.
"City's performances over the last two seasons have been incredible and I am very excited about returning and contributing to the club's bid for more success."
He did not make a single league appearance for City during his first stint but made more than 40 appearances for PSV.
Angelino's signing follows the announcement of City paying the 70 million euro ($78.96 million) buyout clause for Spanish international holding midfielder Rodri.
City will kick off their 2019-20 Premier League season with an away trip to West Ham United on August 10.

Jorge Lorenzo broke his own Misano pole position record to claim pole position for the San Marino Grand Prix. The Spaniard saw off surprise package Jack Miller to take his fourth Misano pole position in five seasons while reigning champion Marc Marquez could only manage fifth after a scrappy Q2 session.
With Lorenzo in such supreme form, much of the drama was found elsewhere although that shouldn’t detract from a magnificent display from the Ducati rider. Lorenzo’s opening lap of Q2 immediately launched him onto provisional pole and although his 1:31.763 was already good enough for top spot, that didn’t stop the no.99 going even quicker on his second run, clocking the fastest ever two-wheeled lap of Misano.
Meanwhile, Marquez was pushing his Honda to the limit in his efforts to keep pace with his compatriot and the championship leader overstepped the limit at turn 15, losing the front end of his RC213V. This forced Marquez into a desperate dash to his pit-box in scenes reminiscent of his Austin pit-lane sprint of 2015. Although he did make it back in time for a last-ditch attempt, Marc wouldn’t improve on his own 1:32.016.
This would open the door for the sensational Miller who broke into the 1:31s himself to secure second, while a late flyer from Maverick Vinales saw him deny Ducati a lockout of the front row, pipping Andrea Dovizioso to third. Marquez dropped to fifth while Cal Crutchlow will start alongside in sixth despite a crash of his own at turn one.
Home favourite Valentino Rossi will start seventh ahead of Danilo Petrucci and Johann Zarco while Alex Rins completed the top ten, just ahead of Q2 qualifiers Dani Pedrosa and Franco Morbidelli.

Intel unveiled its newest chips this week in announcing its new “Tulsa” server processors, the latest dual-core, 64-bit Xeon chips from the company.
The firm also announced that its “Merom” mobile processors are now shipping to notebook manufacturers including Dell for its recently acquired Alienware unit, as well as Gateway and Toshiba.
The dual-core Tulsa, or Xeon 7100, represents Intel’s mid to high-end offering and signals an effort to up the ante in its competition with rival Advanced Micro Devices.
Its family of eight new Tulsa chips is aimed at doubling performance and tripling performance-per-watt compared to previous Xeon multi-processing chips, according to the firm.
Server hardware from Dell, Fujitsu and some 40 other hardware manufacturers will be suitable for virtualization and server consolidation, Intel said, particularly database, e-commerce, CRM, enterprise resource planning and other heavy enterprise workloads.
On the consumer side, Intel said its new Core 2 Duo mobile, or “Merom,” chips are now shipping to manufacturers.
Intel heralded what it called a “makeover” for mobile PCs as notebook manufacturers including Dell’s Alienware, Gateway and Toshiba announced they would be building products around the new processors.
In all, Intel said more than 200 PC manufacturer designs are slated to incorporate its Centrino Duo mobile technology with Merom.
“For laptops the new processor has doubled the performance, giving consumers and businesses an immersive mobile experience while keeping power consumption and battery life unchanged,” said Intel’s Mobility Group Senior Vice President David “Dadi” Perlmutter.
Despite the demand for 64-bit capabilities, virtualization and continued reliability, the multiprocessing (MP) chip market is by far the slowest-moving segment in the processor industry, Mercury Research President Dean McCarron told TechNewsWorld.
Intel has long dominated the server space, but AMD’s inroads have been strongest there, particularly in MP processors, he said.
The market is anticipating performance and power improvements from the Tulsa chips, but competition will depend on performance as well as cost and reliability, he noted.
Not as New in Notebooks
As for Intel’s mobile offerings, McCarron highlighted the addition of 64-bit capability, but indicated performance gains may not be as dramatic as on the desktop because the new Core architecture is actually based on Intel’s mobile processor design, not the older Netburst architecture of previous Intel desktop chips.
“The incremental change is smaller,” McCarron said.
Still, the new chips will offer significant enhancements and features, and because they can fit into existing Centrino-based infrastructures, the transition to the new Core 2 Duo mobile chips should be relatively rapid, McCarron added.
More for Mobile
In addition to boosted notebook performance while maintaining battery life and heat levels, the new mobile Core 2 Duos should also deliver better graphics clarity and detail with Core’s ability to process more commands at a faster rate, added IC Insights Vice President of Market Research Brian Matus.
“If it has that kind of impact, it will make a notebook type of product really attractive,” he told TechNewsWorld.

目的：探讨新辅助化疗（NCT）后Ki-67表达改变对乳腺癌预后的影响及与分子分型的关系。方法：回顾2010—2013年收治的121例接受NCT的IIA~IIIC期乳腺癌患者资料，分析NCT后Ki-67表达变化与乳腺癌预后的关系以及其在不同分子分型中的差异。结果：NCT前Ki-67表达与患者肿瘤大小（r=0.181，P=0.047）、组织学分级（r=0.340，P<0.001）及HER-2表达（r=0.335，P<0.001）呈正相关。全组患者3年无病生存率（DFS）为73.4%，其中NCT后Ki-67减少、增加、不变患者中3年DFS分别为82.6%、61.1%、68.4%，差异有统计学意义（P=0.034）；而不同分子亚型3年DSF分别为Luminal A型70.7%、Luminal B型71.4%、HER-2阳性型80.7%、基底样型（78.7%），4组间差异无统计学意义（P=0.857）。族别、治疗前HER-2状态、病理腋窝淋巴结及NCT前后Ki-67表达改变是乳腺癌患者DFS的独立影响因素（均P<0.05）。结论：乳腺癌NCT后Ki-67的变化是乳腺癌患者DFS的独立影响因素，但其变化的影响与乳腺癌的分子分型无明显关系。
Influence of change of Ki-67 expression after neoadjuvant chemotherapy on prognosis of breast cancer and its relation with molecular subtypes
Objective: To investigate the impact of the change of Ki-67 expression after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) on prognosis of breast cancer and its relation with the breast cancer molecular subtypes. Methods: The clinical data of 121 patients with stage IIA-IIIC breast cancer undergoing NCT from 2010 to 2013 were reviewed. The relationship between the change of Ki-67 expression after NCT and prognosis of breast cancer as well as the difference of Ki-67 change among different molecular subtypes were analyzed. Results: Ki-67 expression before NCT was positively correlated to tumor size (r=0.181, P=0.047), histological grade (r=0.340, P<0.001) and HER-2 expression (r=0.335, P<0.001) of the patients. The 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) was 73.4%, which in patients with reduced, increased and unchanged Ki-67 expression after NCT was 82.6%, 61.1% and 68.4% respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.034), while among patients with different molecular subtypes was 70.7% for luminal A, 71.4% for luminal B, 80.7% for HER-2 positive, and 78.7% for basal like, and the difference had no statistical significance (P=0.857). Nationality, pre-treatment of HER-2 status, and pathologic axillary lymph node and change of Ki-67 expression after NCT were the independent influential factors for DFS of breast cancer patients (all P<0.05). Conclusion: The change of Ki-67 expression after NCT is an independent influential factor for DFS in breast cancer patients, but its change shows no obvious relation with breast cancer molecular subtypes.

Dear Wantagh Community.
It is hard to believe that the new school year is around the corner! The Wantagh faculty and staff are looking forward to welcoming back students to the classroom for the official start of the 2018-2019 school year on Sept. 4.
This school year should prove to be an exciting one, as students will have access to new and expanded programs and many interesting, new courses. The district’s Chromebook initiative will now include the ninth-grade class, and K-grade 5 students will utilize the new Go Math! program. Restructuring of sixth-grade teaming to include block scheduling will provide students with more hands-on science laboratory time and student-centered learning, as well as reading and writing workshop in their English classes. With the alignment of elementary science with the new New York State science standards, students will use exploration as a tool to solve problems, just like scientists.
In addition to our talented staff, the district also welcomes new faces, including high school and middle school social worker Nicole Braitwaithe, elementary guidance counselor Donna Shulman and Director of Facilities Thomas Fucci. Our expanding STEAM program now welcomes K-5 Director Scott Jackson, and Ryan Aliperti has been appointed as humanities/literacy K-5 director. All of our reputable new faculty comes with experience that will surely build upon the district’s stellar academic programs.
The faculty and staff have worked hard over the summer to prepare for the school year. The facilities are in top shape and teachers are ready to engage students in all the district has to offer. I look forward to seeing everyone in September!
Superintendent of Schools

I got a request for all sports themed cupcakes, and these are a few designs I came up with. The footballs and jerseys were hardened royal icing to add a bit of extra effect. I made cupcakes themed in hockey, basketball, soccer, football, baseball, and then made jerseys in team Canada colors. The footballs and jerseys were made in royal icing for added interest.
A friend of mine has dubbed these decorated sugar cookies "Tile Cookies" after thinking about how much they look like spanish ceramic tiles. Believe it or not, I can crank out the decoration on these cookies faster than anything else I make because the design is all made in one layer. I've now decided that they're my go-to design for non-seasonal requests.
