Like all of the native species, Blacklip Abalone (Haliotis rubra) was widely used as a food by the Indigenous Australian population, as evidences by debris found in middens going back thousands of years. Shell middens are places where the debris from eating shellfish and other food such as fish bones, bird bones, land and sea mammals remains used for food, charcoal from campfires and tools made from stone or shell are collected. Shell middens are found throughout Australia, usually close to the coast, but they can also be around inland lakes, swamps and riverbanks. Shell middens can be hundreds or thousands of years old and as such have an important scientific role telling us about indigenous activities in the past.
The Blacklip Abalone is endemic to Australia, found in New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania. It is reddish brown to reddish green in colour with distinctive dark band along the edge. Its shell is large, flat, rough and oval. The species is often covered in algae and plant thus it is difficult to find.
There are a number of serious issues that have put the Abalone almost to the brink of extinction in the past decades: high commercial demand, which has led to overfishing, commercial harvesting and illegal fishing practices, disease and changes in water temperature due to climate change. Overfishing is a particular problem: there are enforced controls in place by the government, however with Australia’s vast coastline and popularity of (recreational) fishing, these controls are by far not effective enough. In addition, the Australian government does not allow Indigenous people to help control this industry and use traditional sustainable methods of harvesting. They are also denied to eat Abalone in the traditional indigenous way as it is not legal to eat them ‘in situ’ at capture site. As an example: Indigenous groups traditionally would put Abalone shells on the top of the middens pile so that the next families would leave them alone as a method of controlled identification to prevent overfishing. Also, rather than deciding which ones to take by size (which is the current fisheries system), Indigenous people would never take seafood that was in breeding cycles. Abalone can still be found along the coast, but in much less quantities.
Indigenous communities would traditionally cook the Abalone on camp fires, in the shell. It is more popular to steam, poach, pan-fry or stir. Abalone is a good source of Omega 3, protein, iodine, and iron.

Microsoft launches Office 365 in Kenya
SOFTWAREBy BiztechAfrica - June 27, 2012, 12:43 p.m.
By Semaj Itosno, Nairobi, Kenya
Software maker Microsoft will on Thursday launch its newest Windows operating system, Office 365, in Kenya.
Office 365 is cloud-based, meaning that it can be accessed remotely. It brings together Windows operating systems such as Microsoft Office, Microsoft SharePoint Online, Microsoft Exchange Online and Microsoft Lync Online, all of which enable computer users to use enterprise email, shared documents, instant messaging, video and web conferencing, portals and more within a short time.
The firm will, however, slap a monthly fee on the new system in line with what it is doing in other parts of the world.
Microsoft says this fee will mainly be determined by use. In other markets, such as the US where the service has been launched, the monthly subscription fees ranges between Sh168 (USD2) and Sh2, 268 (USD27) per user.
Louis Otieno, Microsoft’s general manager for East and Southern Africa, said with Office 365 businesses will not need to invest in internal servers or data storage facilities thereby reducing their IT costs by up to an estimated 50% while boosting productivity.
“With Office 365, businesses or even the government can work on files and documents at the same time and share ideas as easily as they can share calendars it also gives people new ways to work together with ease, on virtually any device,” said Mr Otieno.
Microsoft is targeting, government, corporate and small medium business with this latest product.
“With this product it will be possible for the government to issue its entire staff across the country with e-mail accounts in less than an hour,” said Otieno. Retail prices for Microsoft traditional software are pegged on the user groups, for example students, home users, and NGOs that pay lower amounts compared to enterprise users.
Two weeks ago, Kenya’s Finance Minister, Njeru Githae, removed import duty on software, a move aimed at making it cheaper for users and also to attract foreign investors into the IT industry.
Vendors sell their software either by loading them onto CDs or offering a user licence. Software loaded on CDs attracts a 25% import duty and 16% value added tax (VAT). Customers who buy the user license only pay the VAT.
The Microsoft launch will also include the Nigerian and South African markets, where the firm says this has been made possible by the improved telecoms infrastructure.
Kenya has four undersea cables: Seacom, Essay, TEAMs, and LION, which connect the country to the rest of the world and vast inland fibre optic infrastructure across the country.
This has allowed telecommunication firms such as Kenya Data Networks, Safaricom and Dimension Data to launch storage facilities for electronic documents (data centres) which was not possible before.

From JAG Studio
The household is located at the eastside of the city, on the slopes of the valley formed by the Cuenca River. It makes the most of a generous piece of land with an environment full of landscapes, privileged views and a nice climate. This is way we made our mission to guarantee the proper usage of the interior and exterior locations, having at the same time the utmost care for little aspects that defined the implantation of the house. The first thing to take into account was the topography of the lot, in which two platforms were found. This situation was solved by designing the house on two levels and placing it between the two platforms as a retaining wall, thus guaranteeing the use of both levels of the land. The orientation of the house in the East - West direction prevents to some extent the solar radiation on the roofs and allows to open the spaces towards the South, where the best views are found.
Having the general idea defined as a result of the implantation, the program of the house was organized in two floors, the income and social area were located in the highest platform of the land, functioning as the adults area. The ground floor, at the level of the low platform of the property, was dedicated to the activities of the children. The two levels were articulated with a familiar double height. This conformation allowed to enhance the use of gardens and outdoor spaces, in which special attention and interest was placed, providing elements that can attenuate the solar radiation towards noon and chimneys that prolong their use at night.
The use of traditional materials of the area was a requirement that had to be incorporated into the project from the beginning, as the house is part of a neighborhood where you can find homes that go a couple of generations back. The use of stone, tile, brick, wood, in harmony with current construction techniques and installations and paying close attention to quality and detail are the aspects that gave its final form to this work.

Kat: The rap on Kate Nash goes like this, "Oh, yeah, she really nailed it with 'Foundations,' really captured what I was going through. But since then, she's just on her own little trip."
"Foundations" is a classic, no question. But Kate Nash didn't ditch the confessional songwriting or the relatable topics. "Part Heart," for example is about when love's sailed on and you keep painting your finger nails different colors thinking that might fix things.
And that's just the opening track of Kate's latest album Girl Talk.
Girl Talk finds Kate speaking and, yes, singing in that British accent too few artists use. The Beatles did it. Few others did and few others do.
But few do what Kate dares to.
Take another British songbird, Joss Stone.
With a page from Madonna's book, Joss followed up her most artistically inspired LP1 with a retread of what had already sold (Soul Sessions, Vol. 2). Possibly spooked by the poor sales of LP1, Joss went running back to a tried and true formula -- singing the oldies. She'd made her most contemporary album yet but when the sales weren't there she immediately retreated.
Joss may go barefoot on stage like Sandi Shaw used to do but Kate's the one with Sandy's artistic bent.
She hasn't stopped exploring in her lyrics but Girl Talk picks up from My Best Friend Is You to continue the pursuit of a stronger sound.
In fact, "Death Proof" quotes from surfer rock, Dick Dale and the Del Tones and Kim Wilde's version of "Kids in America" and pulls it off in a manner that Joss' supergroup Superheavy never quite managed despite (or maybe of) pooling the talents of Joss, Mick Jagger, Dave Stewart, A.R. Rahman and Damian Marley.
Kate appears to effortlessly pull together -- and pull off -- the garage rock genre that escapes so many.
Purists with short-term memories remember "Foundations" as near acoustic -- suggesting they knew the song better from Kate's performance of it live on Jools Holland's British TV program than from the actual recording. Go back and listen to that recording -- especially once the second verse kicks off -- and are you really surprised that Nash now sounds like she's been passed the torch by Bikini Kill?
There are so many great tracks here but one that stands out to me is "All Talk" because she's doing what she hinted at last time round on "I've Got A Secret." When you write lyrics the world loves, it can be easy to skimp on the music. Kate doesn't do that, she explores it all including tempo -- and does tempo in a way no one has since Laura Nyro.
You have a problem with me
'Cause I'm a girl
I'm a feminist
And if that offends you
Then f**k you.
If the tempo work recalls Nyro in the days of "Timer," the lyrics bring to mind the Nyro of "Women of the One World."
And that's high praise.
But Kate's earned it. She crowd-funded this album which gave her the freedom from having to please a label. Will it please the fans?
If they can enjoy "Conventional Girl," "3 AM" and "Are You There Sweetheart," probably yes. And the final track is just an added treat.
Good for Kate Nash for carrying the banner for art, for following her muse down the dangerous interstate highways and not just cruising on what people already know and expect from her. If your a fan of music, this is an adventure you'll embrace.

PALMYRA TWP. (WAYNE) - Lights on the cell phone tower on top the ridge overlooking Hawley have not been working for at least three weeks. Having no warning lights poses a threat to any medical helicopter that might be flying into Hawley, said Gene Krause, Deputy Chief, Hawley Fire Department.
Mention was made to The News Eagle Monday March 4th, that the lights had been off the night before and apparently worked intermittently for a few nights before that. Notification was subsequently made to the Palmyra Township (Wayne) Supervisors, Cherry Ridge Airport and the Hawley Fire Department.
Krause stated that he made contact with Steve Price, Director, Wayne County Emergency Management Agency and gave him the information from the cell tower site. Price then contacted the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Krause related that Price was told that if the tower is in a flight path they are required to fix it within 24 hours of notification, otherwise they have 15 days to fix it.
Vincent Villano, manager at Cherry Ridge Airport, said that the tower is not in the pilots' normal flight path but has the potential of someone coming too close without seeing it. He had contacted the Federal Aviation Administration and was posting a sign for pilots to see at their facility, warning them that the lights were out.
The tower is near the Middle Creek Quarry and is easily visible from downtown. Red lights mark the tower when they are working.
Nextel Partners were the original company that applied for a permit for the tower. Township Zoning Officer Dennis Mynarski said at the March 4th Supervisors' meeting that because the most recent paperwork is from 2004, he was not sure if Nextel still owns the tower.
City-Data.com lists the tower with Minnesota Towers Inc., 300 Owego Turnpike, and is 76.2 meters high. Krause said that a sign at the tower property listed the owner as Glover Property Management, LLC, Marblehead, MA. Whether Nextel is the current carrier was not indicated, Krause said.
Cell phone service has still been working in Hawley.
"We will be watching to see when it is fixed," Krause said, given the danger the tower presents at night.

William H. Gaylord, a much esteemed and civic-minded South Hadley citizen, would be proud to see that the library that he and his wife Betsey provided for the town in 1904 still stands as a fitting memorial. The son of a farmer, Gaylord rose to wealth and prominence through hard work and enterprise. Recognizing the need for a public library in the town center, he generously offered the money to build one on the site of the former village cemetery, known as “God’s Acre”, on College Street. Across from Mount Holyoke College’s Mary Lyon Chapel, this cemetery had become overgrown and was considered an eyesore.
Permission was given to move all of the graves to Evergreen Cemetery on Hadley Street, except for the grave of John Preston, the original donor of the land. The gravestone can still be found beneath a large red cedar behind the library.
The Boston architects, Putnam and Cox, drew the plans for the library, which cost $23,961 to build. On May 18, 1904, a dedication ceremony was held at the Center Congregational Church, including speeches by Mount Holyoke College President, Mary Wooley and other dignitaries. Dinner at the Woodbridge Hotel and a public reception at the library followed. The Gaylords lived to attend the library’s dedication, but in September William suffered a stroke and died one morning three months later. Betsey, who had been in ill health for some time, died later in the afternoon of the same day. A double funeral was held.
Their portraits, painted by New York artist Katherine Abbot (who later married the architect, Allen Cox), still hang in the rotunda.
Until 1968 Gaylord Memorial Library operated independently, when its costs became too great to be paid by the Gaylord endowment. It was run as a branch of the South Hadley Library until 1995, when the town made the decision to close the library due to fiscal constraints. There were many in South Hadley who wished the beautiful building to remain open as a library, and so the Gaylord Board of Trustees chose to operate independently once more. This enabled the library to remain open, though with limited hours. Thanks to generous donors and many volunteers, as well as continuing limited support from the town, Gaylord Library, a South Hadley treasure, is open to the public today.
In January of 2016, the Town Meeting members voted to merge South Hadley Public Library and Gaylord Memorial Library, in an effort to provide more services to the town, and prolong the life of the library. The move allows for programs and services to be shared between the two libraries, including the diverse catalogs of each of the library. Today Gaylord Memorial Library is a branch of South Hadley Public Library. They share library cards, and patrons can return books from either library to the other. The property is still privately owned by the Friends of Gaylord, and the private fundraisers they hold, like Wine Downs, support the maintenance of the building and grounds.

The latest update to the Australian Energy Accounts published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has shown that households have continued to make improvements in energy efficiency and increasing their adoption of renewable energy.
The per household average energy consumption fell by almost 1 per cent in the year ending June 2015, with the number of Australian households growing faster than the rate of residential energy consumption.
“Despite a small increase in energy use, Australian households are becoming more efficient in their use of energy”, Lauren Binns from the ABS’ Environment and Agriculture Branch said.
An additional factor, which is likely to provide households with further incentive to cut their energy consumption is the rising cost of energy. The ABS estimated that per household expenditure on energy exceeded $5,000 per household.
Fuel costs represented the largest proportion of energy costs, with the average household spending $2,636 each year on fuel. Electricity costs ($1,720) and gas costs ($725) have grown considerably over in recent years and have received significant attention as a result.
Household expenditure on gas and electricity is approximately 50 per cent higher than it was six-years ago, when the ABS started tracking average household costs.
Efficiency improvements were also seen in the industrial sector, with industry succeeding in generating more economic value from their products, with comparatively smaller increases in energy consumption.
“While industry use of energy increased 0.6 per cent from 2013-14 to 2014-15, Australian industries used 1.5 per cent less energy for each million dollars of economic output”, said Ms Binns.
Data captured by the Bureau of Statistics showed the growing contribution of households in supplying their own energy. Over the last 10-years, the production of renewable energy by households has more than doubled, from 26.2 GJ, to 54.1 GJ in 2015. This follows the significant boom in installations of both rooftop solar and solar hot water systems.
Employment in the energy sector also fell for the third consecutive year, as jobs fell across the coal mining, electricity generation and renewable sectors. Job losses in the renewable energy sector have been severe, with policy uncertainty impacting on investor certainty across the period examined by the ABS (2013 to 2015) and resulting in a loss of around one-third of positions in the sector.
According to an earlier assessment completed by the ABS, employment in the renewable energy sector peaked at more than 19,100 jobs in 2012. Employment in the sector has since fallen to approximately 14,000 jobs. Contraction in the installations of rooftop solar systems was the main contributor to the fall, with 6,800 installer jobs lost in the last three years.
An increasing proportion of Australia’s energy production is being sent offshore into export markets. The ABS determined that Australia has an increasing degree of energy self-sufficiency, with over 70 per cent of Australia’s energy production being sold for export. Coal was by far the largest source of energy exported (over 11,000 PJ), followed by Uranium (2,592 PJ) and Natural Gas (1,365 PJ).

My Artistic Story
I am drawn to familiar subjects of my western upbringing in Northern Nevada. I have personal connections to horses, cattle, dogs, rodeos, rural landscapes and the distinct character of people inhabiting that world. These ties inspire and define my art journey.
I find endless inspiration in a western culture that has evolved and adapted to contemporary times – the powerful animals that define that world, interactions of people with those animals, familiar rodeo scenes, the changing face of ranching, and the inspiring landscapes of the west. The west is full of visually rich textures shaped by elements and time, awe-inspiring landscapes and blue skies. It’s a world laced by intersections of past and present. It’s a story of strong adaptable people and their relationships to the land and the animals that are part of their daily experience.
Part of my desire to paint the subjects I do is being in that environment. I enjoy collecting inspiration and reference material by hanging out for a day at a rodeo or stock shows, interacting with the people behind the scenes and studying the stock. I find peace in driving through cattle country or hiking with painting equipment.
My work is representational. However, I’m fascinated by pure interactions with the visual medium. Pumping up colors. Defining lines of transition. Playing with light and shadow. Experimenting with texture. I adjust realism with these abstract elements to communicate a story, mood, the essence of the subject, or simply a visual moment that caught my focus.

(Access to Coverage of Tobacco Treatment In Our Nation)
Shaping Policies | Improving Health
May 22, 2012 Two new studies have implicated smoking in the development of psoriatic arthritis and inflammatory back pain. Both were published in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. In the first study, the relative risk for incident psoriatic arthritis was 1.54 for previous smokers and 3.13 for those who currently smoke compared with people who had never smoked. Moreover, the risks of severe disease were “remarkably elevated” among smokers with a 25-year history and with 20 or more pack years. In the second study, smokers had earlier onset of inflammatory back pain and worse disease activity. The worsened disease activity and poorer function seen among smokers in the study also translated into more missed work days as a result of the disease. Taken together, the study results illustrate that the interactions between environmental factors and the onset, course, and outcomes of rheumatic diseases are growing increasingly complex.

Bishop Canevin grad Trusky makes most of chances for Grove City football
Zach Trusky saved his best for last.
His freshman football season at Grove City ended with the Wolverines playing in an ECAC Bowl game — the team’s first postseason appearance in 21 years. The Bishop Canevin grad carried only three times, but he gained 52 yards and scored on a 10-yard run.
The TD was his first of the season, and the Wolverines needed it to hold off Morrisville State, 56-48.
“My first college touchdown in the bowl game … it was really something special,” the rising sophomore said. “The whole year, I was just trying to give my all, and to contribute in a game like that meant a lot to me.”
The bowl game was a microcosm of Trusky’s freshman season: caddying for featured back Wesley Schools.
Schools, a rising senior, carried 58 times for 359 yards and five touchdowns to earn bowl MVP honors. That capped a season in which he rushed for 1,741 yards — the third-highest single-season total in GCC history — and scored 20 touchdowns.
Trusky (5-foot-7, 175 pounds) was limited to 60 carries, but he averaged 5.0 yards per attempt and proved to be reliable in spelling Schools. He had a season-high 56 yards on 12 carries against Washington & Jefferson.
“Zach fit a much-needed role as a freshman,” Wolverines coach Andrew DiDonato said. “Wes has really carried a heavy load. Especially coming into this year as a sophomore and knowing the system, (Zach) takes a lot off Wes.”
Trusky admitted it was tough at first, going from being “the guy” in high school to a role player for the Wolverines. Rather than let it affect his play, he turned it into an opportunity to be, well, schooled by Schools.
“I ask Wes a lot of questions,” Trusky said. “He’s a real physical runner, explosive out of his starts. I feel like he’s been a good mentor for me. (I learned) the physicality of the game, the explosiveness and trying to gain all those extra yards. Turn 3 yards into 5 yards.”
Said Schools: “I just tell him things like, ‘Your job is your job, so do your job and not anything more.’ It’s kind of like a keeping-it-simple mentality. He’s always there to give me a break when it’s needed. I know he’s been working hard all summer to be the best player he can be.”
Barring something unforeseen, Schools again will get the lion’s share of the touches in the running game. But DiDonato said Trusky likely will be more involved — and not just carrying the football.
The coach said he can envision Trusky catching more passes out of the backfield — the one catch he had in 2018 went for minus-2 yards — and returning kicks.
With the possibility of having the ball in his hands more this season, Trusky might not have to wait until the final game to score a touchdown. And while the ECAC bowl was a nice reward for a regular season that ended with a six-game winning streak, the Wolverines are hoping this season’s final game is in the NCAA Division III playoffs.
Grove City finished fourth in the PAC at 6-3, and though teams like W&J and Case Western Reserve might be tough to hurdle, Trusky is confident the Wolverines will have something to say about the conference title.
“Coach DiDonato has a vision for us … and that’s what we work for in the offseason all the time,” Trusky said. “That’s what separates us from some other PAC teams, because they don’t have a clear-cut vision of where they are going.”

Jiggly, sweet & so so fluffy – these Japanese souffle pancakes are a unique & fun dessert or brunch option. Perfect topped with fruit & syrup.
This recipe will make around 2 portions – of 2 pancakes each.
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 40g plain flour
- 2 tbsp milk (see note 3)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla essence
- 3 egg whites
- 45g sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp neutral-flavored oil (eg vegetable or rapeseed) – for greasing the pan
1. Place a frying pan over a medium low heat with the oil. Use a brush or some paper towel to spread it out so the entire pan is covered. See note 1
2. In a bowl whisk together the egg yolks, baking powder, flour, vanilla essence and milk until you have a smooth thick batter.
3. In a separate bowl start to whisk the egg whites and lemon juice. See note 2. A little at a time add the sugar as you whisk. Keep going until you have stiff peaks. This meringue mix will make or break your pancakes so you need to make sure it’s thick enough (but don’t overwhisk or you’ll break the mixture)
4. Add a dollop of the egg white mixture to the flour mixture and whisk until just combined. Pour the flour mixture into the egg whites and fold just enough to combine the mixture – you don’t want to deflate it!
5. Using an ice cream scoop place dollops of the mixture into the frying pan. Add another scoop of the mixture on the top of each dollop. Don’t over crowd the pan and allow room for them to expand. They stick together like nothing else (trust me!). Cover the pan.
6. After around 3 minutes remove the lid and add another dollop of the mixture on top of each pancake. Cover and cook for a further 3 minutes.
7. Place a spatula under one of the pancakes. Gently flip the pancake by rolling it over. Repeat for all pancakes.
8. After a further 6 minutes remove the pancakes from the pan and serve immediately.
9. Top with your choice of fruits, whipped cream, syrup and icing sugar. Lovely!
- Place the frying pan over the low heat early so it’s got time to reach the right temperature and heat the surface evenly
- Make sure you don’t get any drops of egg yolk in the whites or it will prevent them whisking properly
- I used semi skimmed milk – but you could use full fat and it would make the mixture even creamier.

It’s almost time to go to sleep. The people are preppin for bed and I am here at the dining room, facing a cup of tea, a pen, a journal, and a phone. I am trying to catch my thoughts. I want to write something.
I am thinking of a title and it’s content. I don’t want to write about myself. I want a post that isn’t about me.
Bear with me.
I brainstormed for half an hour. Then I sum up an idea of doing I am confident to do because I’ve known it better than my artistic side.
I want to create a new blog. This blog isn’t about me.
This is for everyone who cannot express their thoughts or their feelings. The idea came up from my old post, 5 Sense. Few weeks ago, I had thought of reviving that post but it’ll be about the positive things my senses experienced. However, this blog will be bit different.
I’ll further explain the theme when I finished creating it.
By the way, I’d name it Dear Senses.
I’d be very much happy if you follow it and cooperate on it. Not because I told you but because you truly care.

Remember that you will be required to actively engage in money management skills if you are to have any chance of achieving success. This means that once your debts are paid off, it is up to you to bounce back swiftly and have future credit opportunities. This is particularly true for secured obligations, such as auto loans and mortgages. Generally speaking, there are a few things you can do to improve your chances of obtaining secured debt loans once more.
After declaring bankruptcy, life is anything but a contest. In fact, the best strategy for repairing your credit and regaining control of your financial life is to take things slowly and steadily. The type of bankruptcy you filed can have varying effects on your post-bankruptcy life, which can tell you a great deal about how to apply for a mortgage loan.
If you filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, your prospective credit risk rating is significantly higher than if you filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Before considering a secured loan, you should devise a plan to obtain low-limit unsecured credit lines and make consistent payments for the next 12 months. The objective is to rewrite your credit history and demonstrate your borrowing responsibility. If you filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you may still be considered a credit risk, but it should take you less time to rewrite your credit history. In either case, a good rule of thumb is to take at least six to twelve months to rehabilitate your credit and demonstrate your ability to responsibly manage two credit lines.
You may feel fortunate to have emerged from bankruptcy and completed all the documentation, but don't get too comfortable just yet. After your debts are discharged, you must fulfill a number of tasks. First, draft a letter describing your financial hardship to retain in case a potential creditor inquires about your bankruptcy filing. Check your credit report to ensure that the information is current. If you discover inaccurate information, dispute it immediately and have your creditors correct their reporting. Here is where organization becomes essential. Ensure that you have kept all of your bankruptcy documents and provide copies to creditors who request them in order to rectify errors. Obtain debt resolution letters from your creditors, particularly those who have been paid in full or deemed ""satisfied"" Possessing these letters to present to a potential lender will significantly improve your chances of obtaining a secured loan.""

Kenya Moore Says Marc Daly "Wants to Work on the Marriage"
The RHOA cast member also confirmed if she and her estranged husband are self-quarantining together.
Kenya Moore's marital woes with Marc Daly have been the centerpiece of her life on Season 12 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Viewers have watched as she and her husband struggled to make their relationship work and decided to separate.
When Kenya appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Sunday (April 12), she addressed where things currently stand with her estranged husband and the father of her daughter, Brooklyn Daly.
"We're actually getting along better than we've gotten along probably shortly after we got married," she said. "It's just been no arguments, no real fights or disagreements. He's been really sweet and caring and thoughtful. It's like, 'Wow, this is the man I married.'"
And, yes, Marc's clothes remain in her closet. "He has been here. He has stayed here when he comes to town," she said, noting, "He wants to work on the marriage. He wants to be a better person."
You can hear more from Kenya on her relationship with Marc these days and if she's willing to work on their marriage, below.
Currently though, Kenya and Marc are self-quarantining separately amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic with Kenya and Brooklyn together in Atlanta and Marc in NYC where he owns a restaurant.
"We're not together being quarantined because when everything happened he was in New York and now he's just trying to keep his restaurant alive and feeding people at the hospital and doing his own deliveries and stuff like that," she explained.

Hunting, it's built into our genes. Many centuries ago, our ancestors wandered and hunted the African landscape amongst an overwhelming abundance of wild animals. In each of us is a primal urge to experience Africa for ourselves, even if it is from the safety of a Land Rover and the luxury of private, room-sized tents.
African Photo Safari was conceived 10 years ago when a hunting ban was placed on tourist safaris. Hunting with a camera not only protected the animals and helped the endangered species, but, allowed the hunter to bring home trophies (photos) of the animals in their natural living state.
Africa's a big place, so just where do you go? The big three in my mind are Tanzania's Serengeti, Kenya's Masai Mara, and Botswana's Okavango. Of these, Masia Mara Game Reserve is regarded by many as the Big Kahuna (sorry, wrong continent). If you want to see migrations, visit the Mara in early September, though since everyone else in the world is doing the same thing, it's not very conducive to creating great photographs. A better idea is to visit in January or February, when prey is scarce for the lions, and you're more likely to witness and photograph a desperate hunt.

Inside Mercy Regional Medical Center’s new Breast Care Center, a hand-painted chandelier looks down from the ceiling. Paintings adorn the walls and sculptures welcome visitors.
Mercy hopes to attract patients by offering sophisticated technology for mammograms, advanced imaging and biopsies to detect breast cancer.
The Durango hospital held an open house for the facility Saturday, ahead of its Nov. 3 opening.
“It’s the newest technology,” said Mary Howell, director of Mercy Regional Breast Care Center.
But perhaps most striking is the facility’s elegant atmosphere. Soft lighting, a gas fireplace and large windows lend an ambiance that departs dramatically from traditionally cold and institutional hospital design.
“It’s state-of-the-art, and it’s very cheerful,” said Charlotte Perez of Durango, a breast-cancer survivor who toured the facility Saturday. “And that means a lot.”
Perez said she was treated for breast cancer at older facilities in eastern Tennessee.
Mercy’s facility, she said, “has a calm to it.”
Benefactors donated $3.4 million to the Mercy Health Foundation to establish the Breast Care Center. Donations ranged from 28 cents to $1 million, Howell said.
Mercy conducted 8,000 mammograms from September 2008 to September 2009, Howell said. That number is likely to rise, she said.
“Everybody knows somebody who has breast cancer,” she said.
The Breast Care Center uses digital mammograms, which provide faster, more precise results, Howell said. The center also provides advanced imaging, breast MRI and ultrasound, image-guided biopsy and tissue analysis services.
Howell said Mercy gives local patients who seek the latest technology the ability to stay in Durango, rather than driving to Denver or Albuquerque.
“We’re going to try to draw those people back,” she said.
Shanan Campbell Wells, owner and lead consultant of SCW Art Consulting in Durango, chose the artwork.
“It’s a combination of local and regional, with a couple of national artists,” she said.
Wells said she chose pieces that “make you feel good when you look at them.”
Mercy Regional Medical Center is one of the largest private employers in La Plata County and is part of Catholic Health Initiatives, a Denver-based national nonprofit corporation.
Mercy moved in June 2006 to an $82 million, 212,000-square-foot hospital in Grandview.

I’m sick of snow.
Prior to moving to South Jersey and, ahem, its mild winters, I resided in Binghamton, N.Y., which did not have mild winters. It didn’t have much sun either — less measurable sunlight than any city with comparable population in the country on an annual basis. It was a good place to work, but a depressing place to live. Sort of like Aruba in reverse.
From 1959-64, I learned that any Southern Tier accumulation under 30 inches was considered merely a dusting. And Binghamton wasn’t even part of the region’s Snow Belt as were Buffalo, Syracuse, and Rochester.
Before being diverted to SJ’s sultry Caribbean climes in 1964, a Gannett confidante asked me to fly to Rochester to interview for a vacant Times-Union sportswriter’s post. I left Binghamton for Rochester four hours late on a Friday night and departed Rochester for Binghamton four hours late on a Saturday night because of blizzards. And I didn’t even get the job.
I liked the job in Binghamton, but I didn’t particularly like Binghamton even though I learned that life goes on there, snow or no snow.
My Fiat negotiated the roads throughout the Triple Cities with minimum problems. When it got stuck in snowbanks, I merely pushed it out. Businesses and schools remained open. So did the Piquant Pig and its greasy burgers.
There was more snow than it seemed necessary, but even carpetbaggers like me learned to live with it.
When the job opened in Woodbury, I researched the weather and discovered mild winters were in vogue. That was good news. In the 50 years I’ve lived here, I can recall no more than a half-dozen Gloucester County winters I’d anoint with a thumbs-down, including one in the mid-1990s when my Escort was buried so deep it took me two days to find it. The winter of 2009-2010 was a doozie, too.
But now ... I’m sick of snow.
I’ve always prided myself on getting to work regardless the conditions, and this mother of all winters has been no exception.
That was until Feb. 13, when I peered out the bedroom window and didn’t see my Fusion. Honest to gosh, I thought it had been stolen.
I decided, alas, that enough was enough and didn’t venture out except to locate my car and clear it of the first round of snow. Good timing, too. My neighbor Bill shoveled a path that enabled me to maneuver my car easily on Valentine’s Day when I returned from oblivion.
So I spent the rest of the day keeping warm, watching 20-year-old C-rated adventure flicks, and flicking the TV dials among 3, 6 and 10, keeping a mental scorecard to see which of the three channels was closest to the mark. Unfortunately, all three hit the bullseye.
Meanwhile, my wife out-did me, managing to drive to work and back without catastrophic results on the worst driving day of the year. She loves snow like no one I know, and it’s rubbing off on the dogs.
So what’s the scorecard? A South Jersey record for six-inch snowfalls? A shot at the one-winter mark for total accumulation?
Somebody told me last fall that according to the Almanac we looked good for a mild winter.
Somebody was wrong.
This is a Binghamton winter.
I’m sick of snow.
