Can you get out of a non-compete clause?
Not necessarily. Fortunately for you, courts have recently limited the power of non-compete agreements to protect employees’ rights, making it possible (though not guaranteed) for you to get out of your non-compete. For a non-compete agreement to be enforceable, it must first be reasonable.
Why are non competes illegal?
The agreement is unenforceable because it restricts competition in an unreasonably large territory. Many Non-Competes are unenforceable because they restrict competition across too broad of a territory. Non-Competes usually describe a restricted area in which the employee cannot compete.
Are non-compete agreements enforceable if terminated?
Even though a non-compete agreement can still be enforced when you are fired, you could potentially get out of it if the employer breaches your contract. You can also get out of the agreement if the employer fired you for a reason that is not just or fair.
What states do not allow non competes?
While most states recognize non-competes, several states – including California, North Dakota, Montana, and Oklahoma – outright ban or prohibit employee non-competes in all or nearly all situations. Washington, D.C. enacted its own ban on non-competes in January of this year.
Is it possible to void a non-compete contract?
Voiding a non-compete contract is possible in certain circumstances. For instance, if you can prove that you never signed the contract, or if you can demonstrate that the contract is against the public interest, you may be able to void the agreement.
Can a covid-19 non-compete agreement be void?
If you left your employment before (or during) the Covid-19 pandemic and are currently honoring a non-compete, all bets may be off in certain situations. For example, if your former employer or career happened to have been in what has now been termed an “essential business”, we would argue that your non-compete should be void.
Why are non-competes falling out of favor?
Non-competes have been falling out of favor before Covid-19, and we believe that they will be even more frowned upon in the coming months. Courts will be reluctant to punish employers who are making efforts to getting back to business and providing employment even where there might be an existing non-compete.
Can a future employer interfere with a non-compete agreement?
IF YOU ARE AN EMPLOYER LOOKING TO HIRE SOMEONE WITH A CURRENT NON-COMPETE: Non-compete agreements often require the employee to inform any future employer about the existence of the non-compete. A future employer can be liable for interfering with a contract if they knowingly hire an employee who is under a non-compete.

Rebecca Black and 3OH!3 bring back “Friday” in stacked new remix—watch
It's hard to believe it's been a decade since Rebecca Black released "Friday," the song we either hate to love or love to hate.
Now, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of "Friday," Black has called upon some familiar faces for a stacked new remix. On Wednesday, she unleashed the trippy new video for the remix that features 3OH!3, Big Freedia, Dorian Electra and was produced by 100 gecs' Dylan Brady.

In 2011, 13-year-old Rebecca Black's world turned upside down when her video for "Friday" hit the internet. The video went on to earn over 150 million views worldwide and rank No.1 on YouTube and Billboard's Heatseekers Chart. Earlier this week, "Friday" was even certified RIAA Gold.
Now, Rebecca Black is bringing "Friday" back for a stacked new remix that features 3OH!3, Big Freedia and Dorian Electra. As it turns out, Black has had this idea for a "Friday" remix for a very long time.
“I’d had the idea to do this remix of 'Friday' for years leading up to now but honestly it was also mildly insane for me to think anyone else would want to be a part of it," Black says. "As I started talking about it with other artists and producers I couldn’t believe how stoked people were about it. I am thrilled to have some of my favorite artists (and people) as a part of this moment - Dylan Brady, Dorian Electra, Big Freedia, 3OH!3."

The campy video for the "Friday (Remix)," which was directed by Weston Allen, has a futuristic landscape that separates the single from its 2011 roots.
“'Friday' has this accidental campiness that was a part of making it what it was, and through the years, camp has been something I’ve only further tried to embrace," Allen says.
In the video, Black can be seen cruising around the city with her "Friday" award plaque sitting comfortably in the passenger seat. Throughout her journey, she encounters the remix's collaborators including 3OH!3's Sean Foreman and Nathaniel Motte who appear to her in out of this world forms.
The "Friday (Remix)" marks the latest song from 3OH!3 who are getting ready to release their first album in five years sometime in 2021.Rebecca BlackTwitter

Lucas Debargue: Scarlatti, Chopin, Liszt Ravel (Sony)
Escape all the noise and fall out of Brexit and the Conservative Party leadership wrangling with this exquisite debut disc by Lucas Debargue, the young French pianist who came fourth in the prestigious Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition in 2015.
Weightless elegant Scarlatti opens this album which was recorded live at the Salle Cortot in Paris, Debargue’s first concert in his hometown after the competition. His sense of pacing, evident in the Scarlatti sonatas, really comes to the fore in his reading of Chopin’s Fourth Ballade, where he balances delicacy and poetry with drama to create a performance which is both intimate and expansive. The real impact comes when he holds the music in suspense: it feels natural and unpretentious. His performance of Gaspard de la Nuit, the work for which he received much enthusiastic acclaim during the competition, is equally impressive. His clarity of touch and tone combined with that wondrous pacing brings a silky sensuality to ‘Ondine”s watery arabesques while ‘Scarbo’ is less grotesque, more puckish and playful, though no less dark for it. In between these movements, ‘Le Gibet’ is seven minutes of restrained desolation. His Liszt is a proper waltz instead of the headlong frenzy some pianists give to this work. The Grieg is like an encore, a calming salve after Liszt’s twirling rhyhms. The Schubert is as intimate as you like, as if Debargue is playing just for you – and playful too, reminding us that Schubert was a composer of dances and Ländler. And in a neat piece of programming the album closes with Debargue’s variation on the Scarlatti Sonata in A which opens the album.
At the Tchaikovsky Competition, the Moscow Music Critics Association awarded him their prize for “the pianist whose incredible gift, artistic vision and creative freedom have impressed the critics as well as the audience”, and his debut disc demonstrates these attributes in spades.
Lucas Debargue’s performances at the Tchaikovsky Competition are still available to view on the Medici TV site

Boys in national final
BASSETLAW Boys have reached a national final.
The district’s schools football team became Midland Counties Champions at the Nottingham University Ground last week.
A delighted Bassetlaw Schools Football chairman Jack Tarr sang the praises of the youngsters, and everyone who helped them succeed in the seven-a-side tournament.
He said: “A set of talented boys, an excellent manager, good organisation, brilliant support and a little bit of luck are all needed to reach a national final and Bassetlaw Boys had all of those qualities last week.”
Taking on Northampton, Bromsgrove and Gainsborough in their group matches, Stoke in the semi-final and Northampton again in the final, they were victorious in every game and now travel to Cobham in Surrey – the home of Chelsea’s training ground – for the National Finals in April.

Jack added: “Congratulations go to the boys, manager Alan Pressley for his skilful handling of his squad and thanks to the parents and supporters who have travelled to the many away games this season – and to County Cleaners who have sent the boys out looking very smart each week.”
This week attention turns to the girls of Ryton Park, who will hope to emulate the boys’ glory in the Midland Counties Individual Schools seven-a-side championships.
Should they return from Nottingham with the title, they’ll head to the National Finals at Watford’s training ground.

Splitfire Wood Splitters – Splits Both Directions
Splitfire wood splitters are unique in their ability to split logs in both directions. With most log splitters the ram splits the log into the wedge only in one direction. You then have to wait for the ram to retract before you can put another piece in. With a splitfire wood splitter the double sided wedge will split another piece in the opposite direction as it retracts. This makes splitfire log splitters one of the highest production splitting machines available.
Splitfire or Split-Fire splitters are well built for production machines with models available to suit casual users or commercial production use.
For more information about Splitfire wood splitters or to find a dealer, please fill in the info below.

Beth Ryder knows she's different. In a tiny rural town, being an orphaned and perpetually single amateur photographer crippled by panic disorder is pretty much guaranteed to make you stick out like a sore thumb.
But Beth doesn't understand just how different she really is.
One day, strange things start cropping up in her photos. Things that don't look human. Impossible things. Monstrosities. Beth thinks her hateful sister-in-law, Justine, has tampered with her pictures to play a cruel joke, but rather than admitting or denying it, Justine up and vanishes, leaving the family in disarray.
Beth's search for Justine plunges her into a world she never knew existed, one filled with ancient and terrifying creatures. Both enemies and allies await her there—a disturbingly sexy boss, a sentient wolf with diamond fur, body-snatching dinosaur-birds. Separating the allies from the enemies is no easy chore, but in this strange new world, allies are a necessity. A plot is afoot, and Beth—whose abilities no one seems able to explain—may well hold the key to solving it.
Nolander is the first novel in the fantasy series Emanations. The second novel, Solatium, and a short story, "Theriac," are also available.
The Emanations Series
Of all the beings that have lived on Earth, what if just a few had the power to make new realities, according to their desires? What would they create? The Second Emanation: a shadow world where ancient creatures persist, where humanity's dominance is far less certain, where wonder competes with horror. A world like an autumn forest, its realities as multiple and layered as fallen leaves. The world that gives us our gods. In Becca Mills's Emanations series, this strange and magical world crosses paths with a seemingly ordinary young woman from the American Midwest. It'll never be the same again.
I absolutely love the way that Becca Mills is able to Describe things in such great detail that I can visually see it perfectly! Love the way she writes, love the detail and focuses in this book. Sometimes with books, I get bored with the redundant thoughts etc And I will skip pages here and there. But not with any of her books! None of it was boring, enjoyed every bit of it.
Everything great about Sci-Fi and Fantasy
I love this series. It crosses the chasm between Science Fiction and Fantasy and explores big ideas about power and "immortality" (the immortals can die, but with difficulty). At the same time, the characters are real and believable. I have read Part One and Two and Theoric; they're all great. Can't wait for Part Three!
Very Talented Writer!
Because Mills has a great imagination. I've enjoyed this series. Very creative, and I'm looking forward to the continuation of the series with Isolate(book 3, or 4 depending on how you look at it).

What began as an impromptu story about St. Francis of Assisi turned into a children's book series highlighting the life of the great saint. Featuring black and white, hand-drawn illustrations, each story takes a day in the life of St. Francis and what it might have looked like as he lived the gospel by loving his neighbors and managing conflict. The series is a great resource for modeling christian behavior without being "preachy."
Join Francis and his friends as they learn lessons on love and friendship!

THE LEER AND MAYIANDIT COMMUNITIES STRONGLY CONDEMNS THE ONGOING ETHNIC MASSACRE OF CIVILIANS IN LEER AND MAYIANDIT BY THE GOVERNMENT FORCES!
May 1ST 2018 (Nyamilepedia)– The Leer and Mayiandit Communities worldwide, strongly condemn the ongoing massacre and mass displacement of innocent civilians in Leer and Mayiandit Counties by the government soldiers of South Sudan.
Since April 20th, 2018, we have been watching in absolute dismay the sustained, coordinated, wilful and vicious attacks being carried out by the government forces against the innocent civilians in violation of Cessation of Hostilities (CoH); resulting in mass casualties and displacement of civilians. We are deeply saddened by such senseless indiscriminate killing and maiming including rampant gang rapes, abductions, looting and destruction of property and livelihoods. Ironically, this is all being carried out by a government that is supposed to protects them.
We are left without words to describe the gruesome inhumane murders of our community elders who are in their 70s and 90s, children, women, persons with disabilities among other vulnerable groups in Leer and Mayiandit Counties. There is no justification whatsoever to kill a frail helpless elder such as Mr. Nang Diu, who was found burned to death together with his great grandson in his house in Pulbar, hacking and slaughtering children, women and persons with disabilities. We find it extremely reprehensible that a government would commit such heinous acts of crime against its own people. We condemn the burning to the ground, especially at this time when the rains have started, of the following villages in the two counties:
- Mayiandit County: Dablual, Mirnyal, Kak, Pulbar, Buor, Dhorlek, Buot, Rieri, Dhoryiel, Koat, Tutnyang, DhorJack, Jaguar, Thaker, Panyang, Chuthdier, Kangkoi, Chieydar, Maper Chuol Kuony, Dhornyiet, Dhiach, Changlual, Kuok and Rubnor.
- Leer County: Leer, Thonyor, Piliny, Touchriak, Tulung, Rom-nyachom, Gandor, Kueidok, Padeah, Gap,Bieh,Luah, Koam,Nyoat and Yang.
Despite the signing of a cessation of hostilities agreement on 23 January 2014, it is important to remind the world that the two counties have been subjected to targeted attacks on numerous occasions since the outbreak of senseless conflict in December 2013. From January 31st 2014, government and its militia forces inflicted serious inhumane violations including targeted killings, gang rape, looting, burning and destruction of civilians’ homesteads. And between April and December 2015 worse atrocities were witnessed. Government and its militia torched villages, killed civilians, burnt people alive, over 50 civilians were suffocated to death inside shipping containers in Leer, crime of sexual violence and abduction of children, and women continued. Castration of young boys witnessed, looting of properties and livestock marked the period.
These periods saw mass displacement of survivors to the Protection of Civilians site in Bentiu town. These atrocities are still being committed. The government continues to wage well-coordinated malicious attacks in and around the counties. We demand and call upon the government to immediately cease violent acts against the civilians. As we mourn and bury our loved ones, we call upon the UN Security Council (UNSC), the USA government, TROIKA, the African Union (AU) and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) to pressure the regime to immediately cease these hostile acts. We request for a swift deployment of CTSAMM to investigate the affected areas. We also call for the UNSC to hold to account those responsible for such heinous crimes against humanity. We thank the Humanitarian Agencies operating in the country for their continued support. We urge them to act urgently to save the lives of survivors by providing the much-needed medical services and other humanitarian assistance.
OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH THE FAMILIES OF THE MURDERED CIVILIANS, INCLUDING THE ABDUCTED CHILDREN, YOUNG GIRLS, WOMEN IN FRONT OF TEMPRARY PROTECTION AREA OF THE UNMISS IN LEER AND ARECURRENTLY BEING USED AS SEXSLAVES BY GOVERNMENT FORCES AND THOSE STILL MISSING AND SEEKING SHELTERS IN THE BUSHES AND SWAMPS.
Peter Gatbel Magock Chairman of Leer Community Worldwide. Australia & Samuel Lam Toch Chairman of Mayiandit PoC Site in Juba, South Sudan.

Back on July 25, 1989, Seinfeld aired on NBC for the first time. So this summer will mark the 25th anniversary of the classic sitcom's debut episode. And one minor league baseball team, the Brooklyn Cyclones, are going to celebrate the occasion by holding a special "Seinfeld Night" on July 5, which is set to include a bunch of things that true Seinfeld fans will love.
So what are the Cyclones going to do to make "Seinfeld Night" special? For starters, they're going to hand out Keith Hernandez "Magic Loogie" bobbleheads to the first 2,500 people who show up for the game. Hernandez made a cameo appearance on Seinfeld back in the early 1990s:
But they're not stopping there. The Cyclones are also going to rename MCU Park "Vandelay Industries" for the night. They're going to give away free tickets to anyone who can prove that they are a "Latex Salesman." And they're going to outfit their players in "puffy shirts" for batting practice. It sounds like it's going to be quite the event.
Interested in buying a ticket? They go on sale on May 10. Check out the Cyclones site for more info on the night.

Glasgow-based cloud computing group iomart has invested nearly £2m into a network expansion to help meet future demand.
The next generation core routing technology from Cisco will provide 100GB capacity on its network, with the ability to scale to 400GB.
This should enable iomart to offer customers faster, more reliable connections to support data and applications.
Capacity will increase from 10GB to 100GB through two interconnected peering facilities in Europe, Telehouse London and Equinix in Slough, and through iomart’s largest data centre in Maidenhead.
The investment follows an increase in internet traffic due to the pandemic, with iomart committed to increasing its role as a service provider in order to anticipate future demand.
The expansion should reduce the chance of bandwidth bottlenecks, enabling content such as on-demand video, voice and cloud services to travel along the fibre at speed.
The company's private network infrastructure stretches for more than 2,000km up and down each side of the UK.
Ishbell MacPhail, regional leader at Cisco, commented: “In the last year, connected technologies and applications have played a major role and helped to solve unexpected challenges in all industries - from homeschooling to healthcare - so iomart’s focus on reliability and speed will see them continue to play a key role in a new, connected normal.”
Reece Donovan, chief executive at iomart, added: “This is a significant investment that supports our growth strategy and underlines our commitment to provide businesses with the services they need to support their future operations.
"The investment ensures our customers will have the ability to deliver content and services faster than ever and without disruption.”

Today’s Post Brought to you by: Depression, Anger, Disappointment and Bad Self-Esteem
Now if that is not an uplifting post title, I don’t know what is!
Look, I do know and acknowledge that I have good things in my life. Really, I do.
And I do know that my life is a piece of cake if you compare it to those who have it much harder than I do. People who have had terrible tragedies happen in their lives, people who are sick, people who don’t have family or friends that care about them. I KNOW. For some reason my brain doesn’t want to truly embrace that and move the fuck on.
I’m cheesed off about everything. I’m mad, angry, disappointed and I feel really let down. I feel abandoned. I’ve got the self-esteem level of a crack-whore being kicked in an alleyway. For what? I WISH I KNEW.
I feel very depressed. I keep saying that good times are coming again in the HOPES that my power of positive thinking will actually work. Yet I sit here in tears for the god-only-knows-nth day in a row. For what???
I’m disappointed in myself.
I’m disappointed in others.
I’m angry that my body will not cooperate with me.
I’m sad and confused as to why I can’t get my head in the right place.
I’m pissed off that I can not seem to follow through, not one single day, with doing the right thing.
I’m tired. I’m exhausted actually.
I don’t really know what to do any more. “They” say that eating right and keeping active keeps your endorphins in the right place, keeps you or helps you feeling better about yourself. But that’s not doing it for me.
What’s it going to take to get me going in the way I want to be going again?
It’s hard not to take results personally but a strategy that works for some, including me, is to hold myself accountable only for my actions, not my results. As long as I concentrate on my actions, something I can control, I can eliminate angst over something I can’t control, my results. Overall this helps my mental state and the reality is the results will come in time if I’m doing the right things.
I appreciate these thoughts. At the risk of sounding shitty, this is what I’ve done for a long time. It’s not just a month or two or three that I’m on a plateau. It’s a year and a half. I’m running out of positivity, if you can imagine. The results don’t seem to be happening anywhere.
I know exactly how you’re feeling. I’m doing these four exercise classes a week, and in the weeks that I’ve stuck to my calorie goals (NOT this week) I’ve not lost anything, or I’ve stayed the same. When I was doing ProPoints, I was gaining and losing alternately, despite sticking rigidly to the plan, and doing my exercise.
Our bodies, apparently, are just not co-operating with what we’re doing to them and putting into them.
Exercise is supposed to make you feel better, but what happens when you come down from that high? You’re just left noticing that what you’re doing isn’t working, and there’s only so long you can do it before it starts annoying you, and you end up sabotaging yourself, right?
I think that’s where we’re at. :( And it kind of sucks.
I offer e-hugs, and just… I dunno. Keep our fingers crossed and keep saying the positive things and keep trying to stay on track? Hopefully SOMETHING will start working soon.
I heart you so much Tracy!!! xxx
I’m sorry you’re struggling. And at the risk of (a) sounding like a guy trying to FIX THE PROBLEM and (b) being a day late and a dollar short if you’ve already tried this…have you thought about finding a good therapist to talk to? I’m not one to knee-jerk to the therapy option, but it helped me understand myself and get through a really difficult time in my life a few years back. Just a thought. And in the meantime, hugs and hang in there even when you don’t feel like it!
Hey Valerie. Thanks for responding. I’ve had therapy before and I’m not against it at all. In fact I know exactly what I’m doing to myself and thankfully I have the tools already (though perhaps they are rusty) to make some repairs. I would actually love to go back into therapy again (hmmm maybe “love” isn’t the world), but I really, really don’t have time or funds for it. Moreover, therapy is hard enough in itself, doing it in another language is a major challenge, one that I don’t have the energy for right now. i’m just in a real slump, but I will get through it. Thank you so much for your thoughts and kind words!
[…] going back on my word, because I’m getting desperate. I said to Renée that maybe we just need something that’ll start working […]
I’m sorry that I was offline and didn’t read this post. I hope that your new blog focus is a sign that you’re feeling more on track with everything because dang girl, I like you and I sure want you to be happy.
It sucks that the brain is so complicated and that life is so messy. I can relate to your feelings in other areas of my life.It hurts to be constantly frustrated, out of control of what you want and need to control. Not fair. Anger producing for sure. There are some areas of my life that I’ll probably never be satisfied with. My solution is to put my head down and power ahead anyway because I’m so freakin’ stubborn and I figure that someday…maybe. I guess the hope is what keeps us moving ahead when it seems fruitless. But at some point, that only takes you so far. Been there too. I’m trying very hard to accept that what I get may not be what I want and it sounds like that’s your struggle too. Like you, I try to look at what IS good and what I can have and I try to be happy with that. And it’s hard.
thanks Katie. I really freaking heart you big time! we are so similar, it’s uncanny at times. You are like the big sister I never had! xx
I’m sorry you are feeling so down. I wonder if physically you are or were recently overtraining? Overtraining will drain your body and mind and make it unable to feel good. You can look up signs of overtraining, some are fatigue, depression. Also maybe under-eatiing. I thought it might be something to consider. Maybe consider spending a few weeks away from vigorous workouts and focus on gentle activities and caring for yourself. Best to you! You inspire me! Love your blog.
Thank you Jenny. I’m actually taking it easy right now. It feels weird but ok at the same time.

Following the devastating school shooting in Perry, Iowa, further details have come to light about the 17-year-old suspect, Dylan Butler.
In a heart-wrenching tragedy that has deeply shaken the tight-knit community of Perry in Iowa, a 17-year-old student at Perry High School unleashed a devastating shooting spree on Thursday morning (January 4), leading to the tragic death of a sixth-grader and injuries to four other students and a school administrator.
Authorities say that the teen shooting ultimately took his own life with a self-inflicted gunshot, leaving behind a community grappling with grief and loss, per NBC News,
The incident occurred around 7:37AM on Thursday when law enforcement responded to distressing reports of an active shooter at Perry High School, located approximately 30 miles northwest of Des Moines, Iowa.
The assailant - who has identified as a 17-year-old student at the school - was armed with a pump-action shotgun and a small-caliber handgun.
Authorities named the shooter as Dylan Butler, and have stated that Butler appears to have acted alone throughout the devastating incident.
Mitch Mortvedt, the assistant director of the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation, addressed the media during an afternoon news conference, stating that police are actively investigating the motive behind the shooting.
Officers also uncovered an improvised explosive device at the scene. Mortvedt described the device as "rudimentary" and emphasized that authorities had safely neutralized it.
The tragedy has left the community grappling with a profound sense of loss and sorrow, and investigations are ongoing to piece together the events leading up to this tragic incident.
Yesenia Roeder and Khamya Hall, both 17 years old, along with their mother, Alita, shared their insights into the life of the 17-year-old shooter. Speaking to the Associated Press, they revealed that Butler had been relentlessly bullied since elementary school, and the situation had escalated when his younger sister became a target of bullying as well.
The family alleged that school officials did not intervene, and this perceived lack of support became the "last straw" for the shooter.
"[Butler] was hurting. He got tired. He got tired of the bullying. He got tired of the harassment," Yesenia Roeder said. "Was it a smart idea to shoot up the school? No. God, no."
The young man's friends, Yesenia and Khamya, struggled to hold back tears as they described him as "the kindest person ever" and expressed regret that they may not have been there for him when he needed support the most. Yesenia added: "He was there for us when we needed him, and we tried to be there when he needed us, which clearly we weren’t there for him enough."
Per the New York Post, the shooter had posted a cryptic video on his since-deleted social media accounts prior to the shooting.
The video featured him in a school bathroom stall, with a blue duffle bag at his feet and the caption: "now we wait." The footage was reportedly accompanied by the song 'Stray Bullet' by the rock group KMFDM, known for its unsettling lyrics such as: "I am your worst enemy / I am your dearest friend / Malignantly malevolent / I am of divine descent".
Disturbingly, this song was infamously used on the personal website of Eric Harris, one of the perpetrators of the tragic Columbine High School massacre in 1999. Other videos from the shooter's social media account - which have since been shared to Reddit - showed him emulating figures such as The Cook from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Jeffrey Dahmer.
Investigators also uncovered photos of the shooter posing with firearms, raising questions about the source of the weapons used in the rampage.
While the identity of the victims has not been disclosed by the police, the Easton Valley Community School District confirmed that Dan Marburger, the school's principal since 1995, was among the survivors of the tragic incident.
At this time, our thoughts are with the Perry community and anybody impacted by this tragedy.

Is it possible to get a decent quadcopter drone for under $100 with GPS and all the goodies that comes with the GPS? Short answer is YES! Read on for what is it and what it can do. You’ll be amazed!
Oh, and it has a built in HD camera (720p) as well.
We talk about the Hubsan X4 H502E with HD Camera and GPS Altitude Mode RC Quadcopter Drone which is usually on sale for only $79 (and free shipping). That is crazy cheap for a GPS flying machine.
If you think about why should you choose a GPS quadcopter drone over a “regular one”, read more about the differences here.
The X4 H502E from Hubsan performs incredibly well for it’s price. It does not came close to a DJI Phantom but for sure it tops low end GPS quadcopter drones that usually costs over $200!
You mus take it out when it’s not so windy but it can take a bit of a wind. It is also more than capable to lock it’s GPS position (altitude lock mode) better than quadcopter drones costing over 3 times it’s price. The 7.4V (2S) 610mAh Li-Po (included) battery gives enough juice for 10-12 minutes of flying time (while recording) which is again crazy considering it’s price point. And, the charging time it’s only 30 to 40 minutes.
The flying range is about 200 meters. It can also safely land to it’s original position (return home mode) and, if by chance it’s goes out of range (or the transmitter does not send signals anymore) the quadcopter drone comes back to safe land on it’s original position as well.
The 720p HD camera it’s not the best in the world, but it does it’s job quite well. It does not have FPV (First-Person View) for this price but hey, really. It’s about 80 bucks.
It’s bigger and little more expensive brother, the H502S have also a “Follow Me” function (you can set the quadcopter drone to automatically follow you around) but it looks like the H502E have the same firmware and unofficially it was tested that if you have the H502S transmitter you can easily activate the Follow Me function for H502E with only a push of a button. How about that?
This little gadget is really stable and really fun to play with. It has features comparable with high end quadcopters and I really do not want to mention the price point again. To pilot this drone it’s really easy and you can really add some great footage to your home collection videos. The 200 meters range is more than enough for playing around for the 10-12 minutes the battery last at a full charge. Off course you can always have some spare batteries with you considering that you can order them for under $10.
It is definitely not for professional video shooting but many are really fascinated for what it can do.

ʻOheʻo Stream Closed Due to High Water, Damaged Equipment
By Maui Now Staff
The ʻOheʻo Stream, located along the Pīpīwai Trail in East Maui remains closed due to high water and damaged stream monitoring equipment, park officials announced.
The stream has been closed for a week due to recent storm conditions and continued flooding, which prohibit Haleakalā National Park staff from safely accessing the upstream sensors, the announcement said.
“We appreciate everyone’s continued patience during this ongoing safety concern,” said park Superintendent Natalie Gates in a statement today.
According to park policy, the stream is closed as a safety precaution when flash flooding occurs, or if the monitoring system becomes non-functional and flood levels cannot be determined, authorities said.
The sensors, located along several miles of the Palikea and ʻOheʻo Streams, track water levels and rainfall.
According to Polly Angelakis, chief of interpretation and education at the park, the sensors will sound an alarm in the Kīpahulu Visitor Center when flash flood conditions are possible.
“The triggering of the alarm signals heightened flood potential and results in closing of the pools to visitors,” according to park officials.
Visitors are advised and reminded to abide by posted closure signs along the stream, and are asked to follow the direction and instruction of park staff.
“Although the stream may appear calm at sea level, flooding may be imminent due to heavy upland rainfall,” said Gates.
Park officials say injuries and fatalities have resulted in the past from visitors entering closed areas.

The Ilkhanate, also spelled Il-khanate (Persian: ایلخانان, Ilkhanan; Mongolian: Хүлэгийн улс, Hulagu-yn Ulus), was a breakaway state of the Mongol Empire, which was ruled by the Mongol House of Hulagu. It was established in the 13th century and was based primarily in Persia as well as neighboring territories, such as present-day Azerbaijan, and the central and eastern parts of present-day Turkey. The Ilkhanate was based, originally, on Genghis Khan''s campaigns in the Khwarazmian Empire in 1219–1224, and was founded by Genghis''s grandson, Hulagu Khan. In its fullest extent, the state expanded into territories which today comprise most of Iran, Iraq, Turkmenistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey, western Afghanistan and southwestern Pakistan. The Ilkhanate initially embraced many religions, but was particularly sympathetic to Buddhism and Christianity. Later Ilkhanate rulers, beginning with Ghazan in 1295, embraced Islam.Contents
According to the historian Rashid-al-Din Hamadani, Kublai granted Hulagu (Hulegu) the title of Ilkhan after his defeat of Ariq Böke. The term il-Khan means "subordinate khan" and refers to their initial deference to Möngke Khan and his successor Great Khans of the entire empire. The title "Ilkhan", borne by the descendants of Hulagu and later another Borjigin princes in Persia, does not materialize in the sources until after 1260.Early Mongol rule in Persia
When Muhammad II of Khwarezm executed the merchants dispatched by the Mongols, Genghis Khan declared war on Khwārazm-Shāh dynasty in 1219. The Mongols overran the whole empire, occupying all major cities and population centers between 1219 to 1221. Persian Iraq was ravaged by the Mongol detachment under Jebe and Subedei, and they left the area in ruin. Transoxiana also came under Mongol control after the invasion. The undivided area west of the Transoxiana was the inheritance of Genghis Khan''s Borjigin family. Thus, the families of the latter''s four sons appointed their officials under the Great Khan''s governors, Chin-Temür, Nussal and Korguz, in that region.
Muhammad''s son Jalal ad-Din Mingburnu returned to Iran in c. 1224 after his exile in India. The rival Turkic states that were all that remained of his father''s empire quickly declared their allegiance to him. He repulsed the first Mongol attempt to take Central Persia. However, Jalal ad-Din was overwhelmed and crushed by Chormaqan''s army sent by the Great Khan Ögedei in 1231. During the Mongol expedition, Azerbaijan and the southern Persian dynasties in Fars and Kerman voluntarily submitted to the Mongols and agreed to pay tribute. To the west, Hamadan and the rest of Persia was secured by Chormaqan. The Mongols turned their attention to Armenia and Georgia in 1234 or 1236. They completed the conquest of the Kingdom of Georgia in 1238; however, the Mongol Empire began to attack the western parts of Greater Armenia which was under the Seljuks in the next year.A Mongol horse archer in the 13th century.
In 1236 Ögedei was commanded to raise up Khorassan and proceeded to populate Herat. The Mongol military governors mostly made camp in the Mughan plain in what is now Azerbaijan. Realizing the danger posed by the Mongols, the rulers of Mosul and Cilician Armenia submitted to the Great Khan. Chormaqan divided the Transcaucasia region into three districts based on the Mongols'' military hierarchy. In Georgia, the population were temporarily divided into eight tumens. By 1237 the Mongol Empire had subjugated most of Persia, excluding Abbasid Iraq and Ismaili strongholds, and all of Afghanistan and Kashmir.
Güyük Khan abolished decrees issued by the Mongol princes that had ordered the raising of revenue from districts in Persia as well as offering tax exemptions to others in c. 1244.
In accordance with the governor Arghun the Elder''s (Arghun agha) complaint, Möngke Khan prohibited ortog-merchants and nobles to abuse relay stations, yam (route), and civilians in 1251. He ordered a new census and decreed that each man in the Mongol ruled-Middle East must pay in proportion to his property. Persia was divided between four districts under Arghun. Möngke Khan granted the Kartids authority over Herat, Jam, Bushanj, Ghor, Khaysar, Firuz-Kuh, Gharjistan, Farah, Sistan, Kabul, Tirah, and Afghanistan.First IlkhanHulagu Khan, Genghis Khan''s grandson and founder of the Ilkhanate.
The actual founder of the Ilkhanate dynasty was Hulagu Khan, grandson of Genghis Khan and brother of both Möngke Khan and Kublai Khan. Möngke dispatched him to establish a firm Toluid control over the Middle East, and ordered him return to Mongolia when his task was accomplished. Taking over from Baiju in 1255 or 1256, he had been charged with subduing the Muslim kingdoms to the west "as far as the borders of Egypt." This occupation led the Turkmens to move west into Anatolia to escape from the Mongolian tribes. He established his dynasty over the southwestern part of the Mongol Empire that stretched from Transoxiana to Syria. He destroyed the Ismaili Nizari Hashshashins and the Abbasid Caliphate in 1256 and 1258 respectively. After that he advanced as far as Gaza, briefly conquering Ayyubid Syria.
Möngke''s death forced Hulagu to return from the Persian heartland for the preparation of Khuriltai (selection of a new leader). He left a small force behind to continue the Mongol advance, but it was halted in Palestine in 1260 by a major defeat at the battle of Ain Jalut at the hands of the Mamluks of Egypt. Due to geo-political and religious issues and deaths of three Jochid princes in Hulagu''s service, Berke declared open war on Hulagu in 1262 and possibly called his troops back in Iran. According to Mamluk historians, Hulagu might have massacred Berke''s troops and refused to share his war booty with Berke.Hulagu with his Christian queen Doquz Khatun
Hulagu''s descendants ruled Persia for the next eighty years, tolerating multiple religions including Shamanism, Buddhism, and Christianity, ultimately adopting Islam as a state religion in 1295. However, despite this conversion, the Ilkhans remained opposed to the Mamluks (who had defeated both Mongol invaders and Crusaders). The Ilkhans launched several invasions of Syria, but were never able to gain and keep significant ground against the Mamluks, eventually being forced to give up their plans to conquer Syria, along with their stranglehold over their vassals the Sultanate of Rum and the Armenian kingdom in Cilicia. This was in large part due to civil war in the Mongol Empire, and the hostility of the khanates to the north and east. The Chagatai Khanate in Moghulistan and the Golden Horde threatened the Ilkhanate in the Caucasus and Transoxiana, preventing expansion westward. Even under Hulagu''s reign, the Ilkhanate was engaged in open warfare in the Caucasus with the Mongols in the Russian steppes. On the other hand, the China-based Yuan Dynasty was an ally of the Ikhanate and also held nominal suzerainty over the latter for many decades.
Hulagu took with him many Chinese scholars, astronomers, and the famous Persian astronomer Nasir al-Din al-Tusi learned about the mode of the Chinese calculating tables from the scholars brought to Persia by the Mongols. The observatory was built on a hill of Maragheh.Franco-Mongol alliance Main article: Franco-Mongol alliance
Many attempts towards the formation of a Franco-Mongol alliance were made between the courts of Western Europe (West Europeans were collectively called Franks by Muslims and Asians in the Crusades era) and the Mongols (primarily the Ilkhanate) in the 13th and 14th centuries, starting from around the time of the Seventh Crusade. United in their opposition to the Muslims (mainly the Mamluks), the Ilkhanate and the Europeans were still never able to satisfactorily combine their forces against their common enemy.Conversion to IslamCircular piece of silk, Iran or Iraq, early 14th centuryThe Mongol ruler, Ghazan, studying the Qur''an.
In the period after Hulagu, the Ilkhans increasingly adopted Tibetan Buddhism. Christian powers were encouraged by what appeared to be a favoring of Nestorian Christianity by the Ilkhanate''s rulers but this probably went no deeper than the Mongols'' traditional even-handedness towards competing religions. Thus the Ilkhans were markedly out of step with the Muslim majority they ruled. Ghazan, shortly before he overthrew Baydu, converted to Islam and his official favoring of Islam as a state religion coincided with a marked attempt to bring the regime closer to the non-Mongol majority of the regions they ruled. Christian and Jewish subjects lost their equal status with Muslims and again had to pay the poll tax. Buddhists had the starker choice of conversion or expulsion.
In foreign relations, the Ilkhanate''s conversion to Islam had little to no effect on the regime''s hostility towards the other Muslim states and Ghazan continued to fight the Mamluks for control of Syria. But the Battle of Wadi al-Khazandar, which was the Mongols'' only major victory over the Mamluks, ended his control over Syria, though this lasted but a few months. For the most part, Ghazan''s policies continued under his brother Öljeitü despite suggestions that he might begin to favor the Shi''a brand of Islam after he came under the influence of Shi''a theologians Al-Hilli and Maitham Al Bahrani. Öljeitü succeeded in conquering Gilan on the Caspian coast and his magnificent tomb in Soltaniyeh remains the best known monument of Ilkhanid rule in Persia.DisintegrationMap showing the political situation in southwest Asia in 1345, ten years after the death of Abu Sa''id. The Jalayirids, Chobanids, Muzaffarids, Injuids, Sarbadars and Kartids took the Ilkhanate''s place as the major powers in Iran.
After Abu Sa''id''s death in 1335, the Ilkhanate began to disintegrate rapidly, and split up into several rival successor states, most prominently the Jalayirids. Hasar''s descendant Togha Temür, who was the last of the obscure Ilkhan pretenders, was assassinated by Sarbadars in 1353. Timur later carved a state from the Jalayirids, ostensibly to restore the old khanate. The historian Rashid-al-Din Hamadani wrote a universal history for the khans around 1315 which provides much material for their history.Legacy
The emergence of the Ilkhanate had an important historical impact in the Middle Eastern region. The establishment of the unified Mongol Empire had significantly eased trade and commerce across Asia. The communications between the Ilkhanate and the Yuan Dynasty headquartered in China encouraged this development.
The Ilkhanate also helped to pave the way for the later Persian Safavid dynastic state, and ultimately the modern country of Iran. Hulagu''s conquests had also opened Iran to Chinese influence from the east. This, combined with patronage from his successors, would develop Iran''s distinctive excellence in architecture. Under the Ilkhans, Iranian historians also moved from writing in Arabic, to writing in their native Persian tongue.
The rudiments of double-entry accounting were practiced in the Ilkhanate; merdiban was then adopted by the Ottoman Empire. These developments were independent from the accounting practices used in Europe. This accounting system was adopted primarily as the result of socio-economic necessities created by the agricultural and fiscal reforms of Ghazan Khan in 1295-1304.

The title Ilkhan resurfaced among the Qashqai nomads of Southern Iran in the 19th century. Jan Mohammad Khan started using it from 1818/19 and this was continued by all the following Qashqai leaders. The last Ilkhan was Naser Khan who in 1954 was pushed into exile after his support of Mossadeq. When he returned during the Islamic Revolution in 1979 he could not regain his previous position and died in 1984 as the last Ilkhan of the Qashqai.

Researchers at Keele University found out that people who like to sleep over eight hours a night are more likely to develop different conditions which cause premature death.
They analyzed the data from 74 studies which contained information on the sleep quality and habits of three million people (from 1970 to 2017).
Researchers from the University of East Anglia, Leeds University, and Manchester concluded that people who sleep over eight hours a night saw an increase in heart disease by 44%.
Resting in bed for over 10 hours was connected to an increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease (49%), and from stroke (56%).
Their study was recently published in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
According to the findings, abnormal sleep is a “marker of elevated cardiovascular risk,” and doctors should ask their patients during the appointments about their sleeping patterns.
Excessive Sleep Increases Cardiovascular Risk
Dr. Chun Shing Kwok is the lead researcher of this study, stating the significance of their work:
“Our study has an important public health impact in that it shows that excessive sleep is a marker of elevated cardiovascular risk. If excessive sleep patterns are found, particularly prolonged durations of eight hours or more, then clinicians should consider screening for adverse cardiovascular risk factors and obstructive sleep apnea.”
He explains that sleep apnea is “a serious sleep disorder that occurs when a person’s breathing is interrupted during sleep.”
Some scientists have connected sleep apnea to the prolonged hours of sleep. The researchers admit that the study was limited because the duration of sleep was self-reported. Moreover, some patients might have had mental or physical conditions that impacted their sleep patterns.
Until now, there have only been studies on how too little sleep increases the risk of dying. Research shows that people who sleep less than six hours a night have an increase risk of dying.

A unit of Indian Army’s Eastern Command has successfully test-fired a BrahMos supersonic cruise missile from Car Nicobar Islands at 1450 hours on May 22, 2019.
The test firing was part of a joint training conducted by Indian Army, Indian Navy and Indian Air Force. The missile was test fired against a specially designed target chosen at a range of 270 Kms, thus validating deep penetration capability of the supersonic cruise missile and accurate engagement of targets in depth.
“The launch of the BrahMos missile involved coordination with large number of agencies for a successful and smooth conduct of firing. It was a cohesive effort of all three services demonstrating high standards of Inter Service Synergy”, said a statement from Indian Ministry of Defence.
Lt Gen MM Naravane, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief Eastern Command witnessed the launch along with other officers and congratulated the Unit and all agencies involved in the process, resulting in the successful launch of the missile.
Car Nicobar is the northernmost of the Nicobar Islands, part of the Indian union territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands located in Bay of Bengal. Nicobar Islands is strategically located as it is just 90 km away from the Malacca Strait, one of the most important shipping lanes in the world. The strait is the busiest strait in the world, carrying about 25% of the world’s traded goods including manufactured goods from China, India’s main geopolitical rival.
On May 22, the Indian Air Force (IAF) has successfully fired the air-launched version of BrahMos supersonic cruise missile from its frontline Su-30 MKI fighter aircraft.

Uber partners with Yulu to boost e-bikes services in India.
Yulu offers 4,500 bicycles and 500 e-bikes on its platform.
Ola has invested $100 Million in Vogo, a scooter rental startup.
Ride-hailing giant Uber has partnered with dockless bicycle sharing startup Yulu to boost e-bikes services in India. The San Francisco-headquartered firm, which is expected to go public this month, said it will offer its users in Bengaluru with Yulu’s e-bikes and bicycles as part of a pilot. The confirmation of this move came alive when users of Bengaluru region were able to spot Yulu’s e-bikes and bicycles options in the Uber app. The reason for piloting e-bikes is not revealed by Uber because it’s the first time it has entered in this domain in India.
Bengaluru based startup Yulu was launched by InMobi cofounder Amit Gupta. The startup offers 4,500 bicycles and 500 e-bikes on its platform. The two-year-old startup has raised about $7 million in funding from a number of investors including Flipkart co-founder Binny Bansal, Blume Ventures, Freshworks, and 3One4 Capital.
Uber has committed to invest $1 billion in India and has left Southeast Asia market after selling the local business to Grab, resembles to have put its foot off the paddle in the APAC region. It said Pierre-Dimitri Gore-Coty, who heads the firm’s EMEA business, will replace Jain to oversee the APAC business.
SoftBank backed Indian ride-hailing market major Ola has put high attention on boosting e-bikes in India. It has invested $100 Million in Vogo a scooter rental startup. Vivo currently operates in Bengaluru and Hyderabad and is targeting to use the capital to add an additional 100,000 scooters to its platform.
Vogo gives tough competition to Bounce, which offers more than 6,000 bikes. The market of two-wheelers has grown in India despite the proliferation of taxi services in the country in recent years. With major cities in India grappling with ever-growing traffic congestions, the future of two-wheelers seems brighter than ever. According to Jayanth Kolla, an analyst with research firm Convergence Catalyst said, 2019 could be the year when e-bikes will achieve serious momentum in the nation.

2nd November 2011
But the anxiety felt from a flutter here or there is different to dealing with the ongoing emotions that daily headlines screaming ‘Greece on the verge of collapse', or ‘Eurozone crisis sparks market turmoil' provoke. In this case, you may feel frozen with fear, wondering – what if my investments disappear? What if I lose and just how much loss can I take?
The rise of ‘super stress'
We are dealing with a time of ‘super stress' to the financial system, with a wide array of commentators predicting gloom and investors' nerves fluttering as the crisis continues to trigger market turbulence.
HSBC's Steven Major told Radio 4 this morning that if Greece can't pay its debts, it would be the biggest-ever default by a sovereign country. That is a "systemic" problem, he said, because those losses would hit banks and cause the whole financial system to slam shut, pulling every other economy down with it, reports the Daily Telegraph.
However, who are we to believe? Alternatively, we have Bob Diamond's of Barclays optimism, who is ‘banking on a quick return to the sort of world that those Pink Floyd rockers sang about in another tune Money – one where you could still "make a stash", say reports. Analysts were quick to congratulate Diamond on the bank's resilience in tough markets, adds the Wall Street Journal.
Putting fear to the test
The "Fear Index", as the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index (Vix) is popularly known, soared last month, hitting its highest level since the height of the financial crisis in 2008.
The Vix, which is the subject of the latest Robert Harris thriller, The Fear Index, tends to rise when stocks fall. The index measures the cost of options that are bought to insure against equity losses, with a high level indicating how worried investors are about more share price falls.
But typically during a volatile period investors recommend that remaining rational and calm, while focusing on the long term is the wisest stance. Market turmoil and volatility have a strong effect on the psyche of investors, and decision-making becomes dominated by emotional responses, rather than reasoned thinking, leading to – for example – selling stock at precisely the wrong time.
Shaun Richards, Mindful Money's economist blogger, says: "If you're a professional investor you need to keep calm, as the next crisis will be along soon. In essence your intellect and emotions provide a guide, and will be in opposition to each other. So when your intellect tells you the time is right but it feels emotionally wrong and you feel sick and fearful, it is the time to buy – and the reverse is also true, so when there is bombast and euphoria it is often the time to get out. Of course, this isn't the case all the time, but it is a general guide."
The lessons from history
As well as holding nerve, there are buying opportunities – and history tells us that when markets sink, it's the time to invest. For example, let's go back to 2009. Then, the FTSE 100 was as low as 3500, and a plethora of companies in the FTSE 350 were undervalued based on earnings and net asset value, showing all the characteristics of being wise investments – strong cash flow and potential for future growth. However many investors were paralysed by fear because they had seen the stock market collapse from highs of 6700 just 18 months earlier and were unsure of how low the market would fall – so they failed to take opportunities.
Often, investors who can set aside short-term moves will earn a premium for taking risk if they buy rather than sell when markets are low. After all, investing essentially comes down to buying low and selling high.
As an investor, you need to learn the lessons of history. When there is a mass sell-off of assets everything falls – the good assets and the bad. This is a great time to buy quality companies at what could be a bargain-basement price. Shares bounced back strongly after those huge plunges – as they always do over time.
"Invest at the point of maximum pessimism" is a famous quote from legendary investor John Templeton, who was one of the last century's most successful contrarian investors. He scooped up shares during the Great Depression.
Perhaps those who've lived through previous financial crises and recessions have learnt that keeping calm during a storm, and considering timing, is the key to successful investing. These periods leave their mark. In comparison, many of us today have only lived our lives during a period of steady, secure economic growth.

The Los Angeles Lakers are dealing with several injuries to guards on the roster, which led to Rajon Rondo playing 20 minutes on opening night against the Golden State Warriors.
When the Lakers signed Rondo, both he and head coach Frank Vogel acknowledged he likely wouldn’t play much given how many guards L.A. had on the roster.
But with Talen Horton-Tucker, Kendrick Nunn and Wayne Ellington out with injuries — Malik Monk returned — Vogel elevated Rondo’s spot in the rotation.
Vogel explained after the game why that happened and what the plan is for Rondo going forward.
“We’re depleted at the perimeter spot right now with Talen, Monk and Ellington, all those guys being out, we just signed Avery (Bradley), so we’ll see where he fits,” Vogel said.
Vogel pointed to Rondo’s familiarity with the scheme from 2019-20 as to why there’s that level of confidence in playing the veteran guard.
“Rondo is just somebody that I trust on the floor to execute our system and to play a smart game,” Vogel said. “He was really good tonight.”
In those minutes, Rondo put up three points (1-of-4 shooting), five assists, two steals and three turnovers. He had both good and bad moments, mostly bad when paired with Russell Westbrook, but the 35-year-old guard is certainly a reliable player in specific situations.
It’ll be interesting to see how his minutes look when the younger guards are back on the court.

This is my very own recipe of quiche that will perfectly match with this festive week!
Quiches are one of our kids' favorite dish and this one didn't disappoint them a bit!
2 tsp. olive oil, extra-virgin
3 torpedo onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic cloves, minced (medium)
1 tsp sugar
10 oz. chopped spinach, cooked and squeezed dry
10 oz puff pastry dough, refrigerated (or make your own pastry dough!)
3/4 cups milk or rice milk
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup light sour cream
1/6 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. black pepper, freshly ground
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
12 medium cherry tomatoes
1. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl in the oil, add the onions, garlic, and sugar. Cook, stirring regularly, until the onions are lightly golden. Add the spinach and cook 1 more minute. Remove from the heat.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread some oil with a brush on a 9-inch pie plate. Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and shape it into a 11-inch circle; fit the dough into the pie plate, and shape the edges.
3. Combine the milk, eggs, sour cream, salt, and pepper into a medium bowl.
4. Sprinkle the cheese over the bottom of the pie crust. Top evenly with spinach mixture, then pour in the egg mixture. Arrange the tomatoes on top of the quiche.
5. Place on a baking sheet and bake about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand 10 minutes before cutting. Serve immediately or at room temperature.

Courteney Cox has taken to Instagram to confirm that she will be appearing the next installment of the Scream franchise as news reporter Gale Weathers.
While she was mostly known throughout the 1990s as Monica in Friends, Courteney Cox picked up a pretty lucrative side gig playing the meddling media personality in Wes Craven's iconic slasher flick Scream. She reprised her role as Gale Weathers in three sequels and it now appears she'll be coming back for Scream 5 in 2021.
Taking to the social media site yesterday, Cox posted an image of the ghoulish Ghostface character along with the words 'I can't wait to see this face again.' We're guessing Gale, Dewey and, especially, Sidney wouldn't fully agree.
Speaking of Dewey, Cox's ex-husband David Arquette has already signed up to reprise his role as the goofy sheriff but Neve Campbell has yet to confirm her role as Sidney. You would expect that to change fairly soon as the whole Scream world pretty much revolves around Sid's efforts to escape the clutches of whatever murderous associate she happens to encounter, depending on the movie.
All going well, Scream 5 will be slashing its way into cinemas next year, a full decade after the most recent movie in the franchise.

A lot of older entrepreneurs turn to franchises. They appeal to them because they can start making money sooner than they would by building a company from the ground up. Another benefit: franchises come with a ready-made business and marketing plan — and often a well-known name like Subway— the popular sandwich shops— or Lawn Doctor lawn-care businesses. Uzzi, the Nurse Next Door franchisee spent $100,000 to buy and set up his franchise, a far cry he says from what it would take to establish a new business. "I didn't have $20 million to dump into establishing a brand," Uzzi says.
The Nurse Next Door company notes that it is attracting older franchisees. In the last six to nine months, the average age of new Nurse Next Door franchisees is 56, up from 45. CEO John DeHart says the company is getting more inquiries from older prospective franchisees than in the past.
When Mark Whitworth lost his job two years ago at the age of 50, he didn't plan to become a business owner. But the job market for accountants was dicey and looked like it would stay that way.
So Whitworth opened a carpet and upholstery cleaning franchise last September. He works six days a week and isn't turning a profit yet, but he's enjoying the autonomy that comes with running a company.
"It really does feel good to be the one to make the decisions and deciding the direction your business goes in," says Whitworth, who owns a Neighborhood Chem-Dry franchise in Dallas.
He's optimistic the business will start making money as he gets more customers.
"You have to be patient and build up a reputation," he says.
Starting a company while still working for someone else is another route. William Ryan has a job as a salesman for a consumer products company in the Boston area. But last month, at the age of 52, he also opened a franchise — a Lapels dry cleaning business. His goal is to help pay for college for his two children. He's also concerned about the job market.
"I have a friend who's worked for a company for 30 years and just got a layoff notice," he says. "I'm doing this as a safety net and as a financial security blanket."
Ryan works on the business before and after his regular job. He's in the store on weekends. During the week, it's staffed by two part-time workers.
Owning a company for the first time has a learning curve. Ryan is dealing with payroll, insurance and other aspects of running a business. The process of opening the store required a lot of paperwork.
"I bet I've gone through 300 pieces of paper just setting things up," he says.
But the work that goes into running his own business is worth it, he says.
"I've got that fire in me," Ryan says. "This is something I always wanted to do."

The NHL is hoping to resume the season at some point in July or August, with a 24-team playoff field that would include the Rangers as the No. 11 seed taking on the No. 6 Carolina Hurricanes in a best-of-five qualifying round. And Henrik Lundqvist is getting ready.
"The focus is training and this summer. Now we go for it right here," Lundqvist said during a recent interview with Johan Rylander, translated by Forever Blueshirts, before shifting his attention toward the future. "I can sense that I have it in me - to go another few years over there in the NHL. I'm sure about it! It's clear that I'm thinking about how much I love hockey and how long I think I can continue, or even want to continue. I also realized that I can't look that far ahead."
Lundqvist, who was dominant during three of the Rangers' four wins against the Hurricanes during the regular season -- stopping 125 of 132 total shots -- could play a key role in that series in any playoff run by the Blueshirts.
Or Lundqvist might continue to take a back seat to rookie Igor Shesterkin and potentially Alexandar Georgiev.
Regardless of what happens in the postseason should the NHL season resume as hoped, there will be uncertainty surrounding Lundqvist's future heading into the 2020-21 season.
The 38-year-old Lundqvist, who is owed $5.5 million next season during the final year of his deal, started just 26 of 70 games before the season was paused due to the coronavirus pandemic.
"What am I supposed to say about that? I had a picture of how the season would develop, what I had in mind," Lundqvist said. "When things turned out the way they did, I was surprised. But at the same time, part of me understands the situation. I'm not blind. They're thinking ahead. There are many pieces that go into building a team right now, but also for the future. You're going to have to widen the view a little.
"Obviously it is disappointing to not play as much as you want. That's where the disappointment is. It's more … not on them (the Rangers), but more that it became as it became. And if I (hadn't) been disappointed, then I sell myself short. I want to play, to deliver at a high level. If I don't, I will be disappointed."
