With a greater understanding of what is web design, I think it would limit the number of times we speak to different people at our web design agency who want a new web design feeling a little nervous or shy.
It could be a large multinational corporation, an education company, a restaurant, or even a travel blogger; they are all different and have different needs and budgets. One thing that stands out as the most common connection between them all is a slight awkwardness and shyness when speaking with a website designer.
I think web design is still seen as a dark art in some circles :0) At Web Design Saigon, we like to try to support and help and provide information as much as possible even if we don’t win the business, as we believe the more confident people are with web design, the better it is for the industry.
So with that in mind, I would like to provide you with this article to give you an insight into all the information a website designer needs to create a web design or at least the elements surrounding the fundamentals of web design. Once you read this, you will have a good understanding and knowledge to be confident in asking, discussing, and explaining some of the critical requirements needed to build your following beautifully designed website.
So What Is Web Design?
So firstly, let’s understand what web design is. Web Design is the process of designing, conceptualizing, and organizing content online. Designing a website today goes beyond aesthetics to include the overall functionality of the website. Web designers also cover web services, smartphone apps, and the design of user interfaces (UI).
Did you know that web design can have a massive effect on your performance in search engines such as Google? This article will give you some valuable insight into building a website that operates appropriately and ranks highly in searches, not just looks fine.
Finding Some Design Inspiration
Website Designers look around for inspiration; the sites are easily accessible and will help give you ideas to discuss with your web designer. To help get the creative juices going, here are some of the best sites:
The Types Of Platforms A Website Designer Will Use For Your Web Design
You can build a website in three main ways: using a desktop app, a website builder, or our preferred, which is WordPress. Based on your team size, budget, and the type of site you want to create, and its technical specifications, the tool you decide to use can differ significantly.
1. Desktop Apps (Coding)
Desktop applications require web designers to build and submit their designs to a development team, translating the design to code. Photoshop and Sketch are the most popular desktop apps for designing websites.
This is usually the standard for large and complicated websites. It enables the designer to concentrate on the overall look and feel while passing all the technical issues to the production team. Unfortunately, since different resources, skill sets, and team members are required, this process can be costly and time-consuming. Using a website builder to design a website with more minor technical requirements is helpful to avoid involving a developer.
2. Website Builders
There are many website builders on the market today that offer a wide variety of features and services. Wix, Squarespace, Weebly are just a few examples of typical website builders that differ in design capabilities, template choices, price, and overall editing experience. Be sure to do your homework, try free trials, and decide which platform best suits your website’s needs. These tend to be very basic and used for entry-level websites.
WordPress is the most popular tool for building websites and powers about a third of all websites. Website designers can create websites that are adaptive or sensitive, providing numerous building experiences. It is one reason why our website is built using WordPress at our online marketing agency in Vietnam, and we only work with WordPress for our clients as the possibilities are endless.
To better understand which builders can function for you, We will explore these principles in more depth below.
First, identify your website specifications before speaking to your web Designer about your web design: Are you creating a photo gallery? How much will your site be updated? Need a shop or a way for visitors to contact you? Choose a designer that uses the right tools that can help you achieve your objectives effectively.
Common Elements Used A Web Designer Would Use
It is necessary to consider both the appearance and functionality of the site when designing a website. Integrating such components will help to improve the overall usability and efficiency of the website. Elements such as an easy-to-navigate interface/menu, effective use of graphics and pictures, well-written and well-placed text, and a color scheme are part of the usability of your web. Your site’s success relates to its tempo, rating, searchability, and capacity to capture your audience.
Visual Elements Used In Web Design
To make sure everything fits well together, here’s a short rundown of the visual elements you should consider when creating your website. To help you get started, each section will include tips and tricks.
Written Copy / Copywriting
Fundamentally, the look and text of the website go hand-in-hand. To produce a coherent design with balanced elements, it is essential to have your content writers and Website designers working together. To complement your graphics and pictures, concentrate on creating chunks of text (using text blocks).
Pick a font that compliments the overall style of your product or brand. The font should fit your color scheme, graphics, pictures and enhance your website’s overall sound. You can find a perfect match for your font using tools like Canva’s Font Combinator. Other apps, web design resources such as Font Pair also provide a place to see multiple font pairings side by side. Play about it as much as possible to find the one that suits you.
When designing a website, colors are one of the essential components to remember. Bear in mind that there are many myths about color psychology, and it is more important to concentrate on colors that match your website’s overall design and sound. Connect your color scheme with your brand and the messages to your audience that you want to communicate. Have a look at this detailed infographic.
It will drastically affect your site’s usability and functionality in how you decide to organize your content. There are no clear rules to follow when choosing a layout, but there are a couple of key concepts to bear in mind. Ensure you consider your target audience’s needs and avoid using an over-stimulating structure that could distract from the messages you want to express.
Shapes & Overlays
The use of graphic elements in web design will help combine text and images seamlessly and help with the site’s overall appearance. Combining beautiful colors and shapes will help direct visitors’ attention to your sites and add to your site’s general flow.
Spacing (White Space)
Spacing is a crucial aspect of designing websites that are visually appealing and easy to navigate. In one way or another, every feature in your design will incorporate spacingWhite space’s proper use is essential in developing a template that perfectly blends text, images, and graphics. Keeping your area consistent will make it easy for your users to access your website. The concept of whitespace is undoubtedly a priority of contemporary web designers.
Images (pictures) & Icons
In just a few seconds, striking designs can transmit a lot of data. With the use of solid images and icons, this is made possible. Choose pictures and symbols that support your message and enhance it. Thousands of options will be provided by a fast Google search for stock images and icons. Here are a few favorites to help to ease your search:
Free Image & Icon Resources
Premium Image & Icons
Among Website designers, incorporating videos into web design is becoming increasingly popular. Videos can help your users experience or comprehend a message that can not be adequately communicated through text or picture when appropriately used. Bear in mind that Videos would draw visitors’ attention to moving images, like getting a TV screen at a restaurant. Make sure that your videos don’t clash with other essential elements or distract from them.
Functional Elements Website Designers Use
When having your website designed, it’s good to note these functional elements are crucial to remember. A website that works appropriately is essential to rank highly on search engines and give your users the best possible experience.
Your website’s navigation is one of the key elements that decide if your website is working correctly. Your navigation can serve many purposes depending on your audience: helping first-time visitors explore what your site has to offer, giving easy access to your pages for returning visitors, and enhancing the overall experience of each visitor. For more tips on navigation, check out these best practices.
User Interactions (UI)
Depending on their computer, visitors have several ways to communicate with your site (scrolling, tapping, texting, etc. The best website designs simplify these interactions to give the user the impression that they are in chaos. There are a couple of examples here:
- Never play audio or videos automatically
- Never emphasize text unless it is clickable.
- Ensuring that all forms are mobile-friendly
- Avoid pop ups
- Scroll-jacking stopped
There are loads of techniques for web animation that can help your design catch visitors’ attention and encourage your visitors to engage with your website by providing feedback. Adding “like” buttons or shapes, for example, will keep visitors to your site engaged. If you’re new to web design, we’d suggest keeping your animations basic to prevent developer interference.
No one likes a sluggish website. You have to wait for a page to load for more than a few seconds will easily discourage a visitor from continuing or returning to your site. Regardless of how beautiful, it won’t do well in search (i.e., won’t rank high on Google) if your site doesn’t load soon. Usually, top site constructors compress the content for quicker load times, but there are no guarantees. Make sure you investigate which site builders would work best with the content on your site that you will have. For instance, WordPress has many plugins to optimize your images to ensure quick loading times for sites with large and multiple files.
A website’s structure plays an essential role in user experience (UX) and search engine optimization (SEO). Without having any structural problems, your users should be able to navigate through your website quickly. If users are lost when trying to navigate your web, “crawlers” are also likely. A crawler (or bot) is an automated program that searches and can evaluate its functionality through your website. Poor navigation will lead to poor site ranking and user experience.
Compatibility Across Browsers & Devices
A great design should look polished on all devices and browsers (yes, even Internet Explorer). We’d suggest using a cross-browser testing tool to make this tedious process quicker and more effective if you develop your site from scratch. On the other hand, if you use a website building platform, the cross-browser test is usually taken care of by the company’s development team to enable you to concentrate on design.
Website Design Types: Adaptive vs. Responsive
Understanding the advantages and drawbacks of adaptive and responsive websites will help you decide which website builder will best suit your website design needs. You might come across online articles that address many different types of website design (fixed, static, fluid, etc.). However, there are only two website types to build a website properly in today’s mobile-centric world: adaptive and responsive.
Adaptive Web Design
Two or more versions of a website optimized for various screen sizes are used for Adaptive web design. Based on how the site detects what size needs to be shown, adaptive websites can be divided into two major categories:
1. Adapts depending on type of device
When your browser connects to a website, the HTTP request will contain a “user-agent” field that tells the server the type of computer trying to view the page. The adaptive website will know which version of the site is to be considered depending on what computer (i.e., laptop, mobile, tablet) is trying to access it. If you shrink the browser window on a computer, issues will occur because the page will continue to view the’ desktop edition’ instead of shrinking to the new size.
2. Adapts based on width of browser
The website uses media queries (a CSS function that allows a web page to adjust to different screen sizes) and breakpoints (certain width sizes) instead of using the ‘user-agent to move between versions. So you can have models of 1080px, 768px, and 480px widths instead of providing a desktop, tablet, and smartphone edition. When designing, this allows more versatility and a better viewing experience as the website adapts based on screen width.
Responsive Web Design
An experienced website designer can use flexible grid formats based on the percentage and element used in its container for responsive websites. If one component (e.g., a header) is 25 percent of its container, no matter the shift in screen size element will remain at 25 percent. Responsive websites may also use breakpoints to create a custom look at any screen size. Still, responsive websites constantly adapt according to the screen size, unlike adaptive sites that change only when they reach a breakpoint.
So, that was pretty detailed, and congratulations if you managed to read it all. Hopefully, the goals we set o have been achieved, and you are now confident in understanding the mechanics of web design.
So where do you go from here:
- You could use your new-found knowledge to consider trying to build your own website, have a play and a tinker – WordPress is free and can test everything out.
- You have a better understanding of what you are looking for in your new website and are now ready to discuss this will a Website Designer…If so you can start by completing our quote form ;0)

Meek Mill Deletes His Instagram; Nicki Minaj Could Be Dropping ‘Black Barbies’ Video
Meek Mill and Nicki Minaj are causing a stir on Instagram. The Philadelphia rapper deleted his Instagram account for unknown reasons, while the Queen Barbz may have released a preview of a possible “Black Barbies” video.
The last time Meek scrubbed his IG page, he dropped his new mixtape, Dreamchaser 4. Prior to his account being deleted, Meek posted a beautiful photo of his girlfriend, Minaj, posing on the beach in Turks & Caicos for her 34th birthday.
Gossip blogs are attributing the disappearance to some type of quarrel in couple’s relationship. They point to a cryptic post on Minaj's page, which reads: "Your value doesn't decrease based on someone's inability to see your worth."
Meanwhile, on Saturday (Dec. 10), Minaj posted video of herself relaxing on the sandy beaches of Turks & Caicos with her "Black Barbies" remix playing the background. The song is currently available for streaming on iTunes, Spotify and Google Play.
There hasn't been an official confirmation of a video but it would be cool if it does happen. Hopefully, everything is okay on the relationship front. We also posted a video below of the hip-hop couple in happier times.

Chinese analyst Ming Chi Kuo, the most reliable and respected source in the market for Apple (AAPL) leaks, working for KGI securities leaked new information and features about Apple’s future iPhone, supposed to release in 2017. Ming Chi Kuo has been leaking Apple designs and features since a long time and is a well known and respected individual for the same.
According to the leaked reports, the company plans on ditching the aluminum body shell, currently used for iPhone 6 and 6S completely. The company instead plans to opt for an all glass back for its future iPhones. This glass back can in turn bring wireless charging to the iPhones in the future.
According to the leak, Apple seems to be working on long distance wireless charging as well, which certainly seems a possibility after the introduction of an all glass back design.
The same redesigned iPhone will also have AMOLED displays, something which Apple’s consumers have been craving for long. The company also recently signed a $2.6 billion agreement with Samsung. This agreement would explain the AMOLED displays as Samsung actively uses the same displays in most of its products.
AMOLED displays have a low level of battery consumption which in turn means better battery management and incorporating always-on displays, something mandatory with high-end Samsung smartphones.
The new iPhone will supposedly launch after the iPhone 7 which is due this year, in 2017 the same time Apple’s $2.6 billion deal with Samsung is supposed to take effect.
As for the Apple iPhone 7, the phone is supposed to have a similar design to the iPhone 6 and 6S and bumped up specs. The company is also rumored to launch a 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Pro, that will feature a dual camera and other exclusive features, keeping true to its line of “Pro” products, that include the 12-inch and the 9.7-inch iPad Pro.
For now, we can only wait and speculate without any definitive answers. Do you have more news on the same? Feel free to leave comments below.

An estate planning businessman is reportedly among four people who died when a small plane crashed and burst into flames just after takeoff at an Atlanta-area airport. The single-engine Cessna P210N crashed around 1:10 p.m. Friday at DeKalb-Peachtree Airport shortly after takeoff, the Federal Aviation Administration said.

So...I've been building a float
Well, it's been a couple of months of pure craziness around here. I've been building a float for the Days of '47 Parade that takes place on July 24th which is Pioneer Day here in Utah. As a Mormon, I belong to a large congregation in my neighborhood called a Stake. Our stake has been assigned to participate in the parade with a float. My "calling" or area I give service to is the Cultural Arts in my stake. The float falls under my calling. So, since last September we have been working on this float. It all started with a few design concepts and we narrowed it down to "The Family Dream Machine". We started actually building it in February and it has taken ALOT of my extra time. I am so thrilled with the finished product and am so grateful for all the people that gave so much of their time and talent to this project! We couldn't have done it without them. Anyway, after the 24th I will post more pictures of the entire thing with the amazing costumes that the youth will be wearing while walking in the parade. I'm on the home stretch and then will be back blogging regularly, yay!

Thumbs Down Yet Again to Whoopi Goldberg
I have written several times before about my disappointment in some of the stupid thing Whoopi Goldberg has said since her decision a few years ago to join The View. At one time the woman would have been on the top of my list of most respected actress's, she has since then taken a nose dive to pretty near the bottom.
Whoopi speaks a lot about racism on The View, yet seems oblivious to her own prejudices which she spews so self-righteously. Goldberg's targets are usually women, and often can barely contain her disdain for their behavior. Again yesterday she argued emphatically that no one really knows what happened between Rihanna and Chris Brown (though the reports are out there) and again Goldberg more than implied somehow Rihanna was somehow responsible for being beaten. Goldberg seems to be completely ignorant to the fact that even if, as she is implying, Rihanna was a royal bitch, taunting, egging him on, it still in no way excuses or justifies his actions.
I actually don't mind that Chris Brown was on the Grammy's or that he getting a second chance, everyone deserves one. What bothers me are those, like Goldberg, and all those who stood up and cheered after his performance last week, who somehow feel the need to defend and treat him as if somehow he was the victim of something, he was not.
I am not quite sure how they processed it, but millions of young victims of abuse, and millions of young abusers.... all took notice.

Suspected bandits on Wednesday night shot and killed a 24-year-old man at Salama village in Laikipia west.
After shooting Mr Ndiritu Waihiga, they made away with an unknown number of sheep which have since not been recovered.
The deceased died while receiving treatment at Nyahururu county hospital.
On Thursday, angry residents staged a demonstration protesting escalating cases of insecurity in the area that led to the death of the deceased.
They said the cases are occasioned by suspected armed livestock raiders who have in the recent past caused mayhem as they were invading people’s homes and making away with their animals.
Protestors from Muruku, Kiriko, Ngano-Ino, Kianjogu and Kieni villages matched to Salama location Chief’s office to flush him out for failing to listen to their grievances.
The protests paralysed business activities at the Salama Shopping centres as operators joined in the protests.
Laikipia Senator John Kinyua and Nyahururu Sub County Deputy Commissioner Ndambuki Muthike had a hard time calming down the protestors who also took issues with the area chief, whom they accused of negligence.
The residents claimed that efforts to seek help from the chief anytime such cases were reported, no action was being taken and their cries always fell on deaf ears.
"This is the third case of a shooting incident in the last month. For how long will we be burying innocent lives due to these banditry attacks" posed Jane Nyokabi.

She called on the government to put up more police stations in the region as well as deploy more police officers.
However, the leaders managed to cool the tension and also promised to push for the government to ensure the safety of the local people.
Senator Kinyua, underscored the need to have a deployment of National Police Reservists, whom he observed were better placed to deal with the armed raiders who have been terrorizing innocent residents.
"This is the only way that we can have this problem solved once and for all. We will work hand in hand with the national government to make this happen" he noted.
He noted that it was unfortunate to see innocent people suffer from crimes perpetrated by immigrants adding that no one should be made to live in fear in his or her legally acquired land.
On his part, the DCC promised to ensure that normalcy returns in the area as they pursue the attackers.

Did Ich kill my fish, or was it something else? Need help to prevent spread.
All parameters are listed at the bottom.
My 29 gallon tank has been cycled for about three months now, and I began the tank with 2 Gold Barbs and 1 Black Phantom Tetra. I understand that these are shoaling fish however these were rescues and my LFS seems to take awhile to get groups of fish that I order (I ordered more Black Phantoms when I set the tank up and just received them 2 weeks ago). The originial three fish I received were from a friend who placed them in a vase for days while they were setting up their new aquarium. I took them in to give them a better enviroment knowing that they would not last long in the vase. All three fish settled in well with their new and healthy enviroment, and the Phantom Tetra even schooled often with the Gold Barbs. About a month later, I added the 2 Von Rios and 2 Platties (My LFS only had two of each and now more are on order), and a month after that I added the 2 ottos and 2 Cory Cat fish. All of my fish are bought from a store that deals strictly in tropical fish. I do not buy from Petco or Petsmart as I witnessed plenty of fish dying in these stores and tanks full of ich.
Now to where the problem begins:
2 weeks ago I noticed white spots begin to appear on my Black Phantom Tetra. I assumed it was Ich based on all of my reading and began to treat with AP Quick Cure at 1 drop per 2 gallons due to fish sensitivity with the carbon removed from the filter. During the treatment, I did a 20% water change with a gravel vac every three days. The Black Phantom had only one day where he hid and did not come out for food (this was last week). He otherwise appeared active and eating. All other fish seemed to tolerate the treatment well and only one Gold Barb displayed symptoms of Ich which lasted for only one day (no spots, but did scratch at bottom of substrate). Last week, the Black Phantom's fins began to fray, and as the treatment went on, each day seemed to show different results. One day he appeared to be losing the white spots while another he would be covered. Over the last two days, his health appeared to get worse, as his fins were extremely frayed and his general appearance not looking good at all. I had no way to quarintine this fish due to my quarintine tank being used by 4 Black Phantom's that I was hoping to join him soon.
Late last night, I happened to be watching my tank when the Blank Phantom swam quickly on his side and the nose down into some plants. I assumed that he passed, and retrieved the net to get him out. I thought that he might have floated to the bottom but instead I found him still nose down in the plants and alive. I placed him into a quarintine container into the tank (a "birthing" box) and observed him. He floated on his side at the top of the tank while rapidly breathing. With assistance (by slight pushing down into the water), he would make an attempt to swim before floating back to the top. Hoping that is health would improve, I kept him in the quarintine basket over night. This morning, he was still floating on his side and breathing, so I took it upon myself to euthanize him and end his misery. I hope that this was the right call.
I have attached pictures. I am now needing to know was this Ich? Or was it something else? I need to know to ensure that it doesn't spread to the rest of the aquarium and so that I can get the Black Phantoms I have in quarintine into their new home. What should I treat my display tank with and for how long to ensure that whatever this was, it is gone?
I am sure a big factor in this was that the Phantom was by himself for months and that stressed him out. I was really hoping to get some friends in there before his death.
1. Size of tank?
*- 29 gallons
2. Water parameters:
a. Ammonia? 0 ppm
b. Nitrite? 0 ppm
c. Nitrate? 20 ppm
d. pH, KH and GH? 7.5 pH , will test KH and GH tonight
e. Test kit? API
*- 80 during treatment, usually 77-78
4. FW (fresh water) or BW (brackish)?
5. How long the aquarium has been set up?
*- 3 months
6. What fish do you have? How many are in your tank? How big are they? How long have you had them?

*x2 Von Rio Tetras, 2 months, 3/4"
*x2 Cory Cats, 1 month, 1"
*x2 Ottos, 1 month, 1"
7. Were the fish placed under quarantine period (minus the first batch from the point wherein the tank is ready to accommodate the inhabitants)?
*- No, but have since invested in a quarintine tank and have x4 Black Phantom Tetras (were supposed to join my one that has died)
8. a. Any live plants? Fake plants?
*- x1 Sword plant, x2 Java Ferns on same piece of drift wood, and other long grass (can't think of name right now)
** b. Sand, gravel, barebottom?
*- 3" gravel substrate

*- Marineland submersible
10. a. Lighting schedule? What lights are used?
*- 11AM-9:30PM, T8 Full Spectrum (to be upgraded soon)
*** b. Any sunlight exposure? How long?
*- Very little in the morning
11. a. Water change schedule?
*1x per week
*** b. Volume of water changed?
*** c. Well water, tap water, RO water?
*** d. Water conditioner used?
*** e. Frequency of gravel/sand (if any) vacuumed?
*1-2x per week, depending on appearance
*Tetra flakes daily, Hikari Bottom Feeder Wafers daily, Hikari Algae Wafers ~2x /week depending on algae growth, krill 2x /week
*** How often are they fed?
13. a. Any abnormal signs/symptoms?
*- All other fish appear normal except one plattie will come up and do what seems to be grabbing air from outside at top of tank a few times a ** day, no other fish do this and the Eheim output creates plenty of turbulence at the top of the tank to allow air exchange.
*** b. Appearance of poop?
*- All appear normal however, yesterday one otto seemed to take a while to get out a long string brown piece.
*** c. Appearance of gills?
*- All appear normal, no rapid breathing.
14. a. Have you treated your fish ahead of diagnosis?
*** b. What meds were used?
*- AP Quick Cure at 1 drop per 2 gallons due to fish sensitivity
Would not treat the tank with any more med's for now.I would place some fresh carbon in the filter for a few day's (to remove any medication residual) and perform twice weekly water changes of 20% for a couple week's.
If no other fishes are acting sickly,,no more med's would be my choice.
Formalin in Quik cure is hard on fish,perhap's harder on some than other's.
If oto's are still kicking,,this is good sign.

Thanks for the reply. The ottos surprised me; I learned after I bought them how they are captured and that buying a dozen usually yields two live ones in two weeks. I bought two not knowing this and they are both doing great. Any idea what my phantom might have had? Was it likely Ich? I attached pictures.

Special Issue "Cryptophanes and Hemicryptophanes"
A special issue of Molecules (ISSN 1420-3049).
Deadline for manuscript submissions: closed (31 March 2020).
Interests: supramolecular chemistry; cryptophanes and hemicryptophanes; phosphonate cavitands; host–guest systems; molecular chirality; stereochemistry
Cryptophanes and hemicryptophanes are host molecules, built from the cyclotriveratrylene (CTV) unit, and are presently widely explored due to the development of convenient synthetic methods and to their properties attached to their lipophilic molecular cavity. In recent decades, cryptophane and hemicryptophane molecules, in addition to their well-known recognition properties, have evolved into new functional systems. For example, we can emphasize biosensing with cryptophane–xenon complexes for MRI applications and the detection of compounds of biological or environmental interest, such as gaseous substrates, carbohydrates, neurotransmitters, or persistent pollutants, to name the few, by hemicryptophane hosts.
The hemicryptophane concept was developed to afford efficient molecular receptors possessing endohedral chemical functionalities. The chemical modification of the inner cavity insures some new properties, still keeping the extraordinary recognition properties of the related cryptophanes. For instance, new generations of supramolecular catalysts were designed for the activation of small molecules in the confined space of the cavity. In addition, most of these C3-symmetry host molecules are inherently chiral and thus capable of providing enantiopure molecular receptors. From a fundamental point of view, the enantiopure derivatives and their complexes can also be advantageously studied by chiroptical techniques.
In this Special Issue, researchers are invited to submit original research articles and relevant reviews related to the different aspects of the chemistry of cryptophanes and hemicryptophanes. The issue will also be open to related molecular receptors such as those, for instance, including tribenzotriquinacene (TBTQ) moieties. Reports on the synthesis, functionalization, and properties of systems based on cryptophanes, hemicryptophanes, and similar molecular hosts, and their impact in biological and medical sciences as well as in materials science and nanoscience will be of particular interest.
Dr. Jean-Pierre Dutasta

Srinagar, Apr 29: Failure of authorities to undertake repairs of dilapidated stretch of Jehangir Chowk - Rambagh (JCRB) Flyover poses risk of accidents.
Commuters said the flyover stretch near Iqra Masjid is dotted with potholes hampering smooth vehicular movement. “Many vehicles have been damaged after passing on the potholes,” said Nasir Ahmad Khan a daily commuter.
“The flyover is one of the busiest routes in Srinagar and thousands of commuters use this road to travel uptown areas. It is ironical that concerned authorities have failed to repair the vital road stretch,” he said.
A motorist said that potholes are so big near Iqra Masjid that they pose risk of major accidents “Vehicles are often seen speeding on the flyover and drivers have to apply sudden brakes to avoid potholes. This poses risk for vehicles to collide with sidewalls of the flyover,” he said.
An official of Roads and Buildings department said the flyover has not yet been transferred to it by the Jammu and Kashmir Reconstruction Agency (J&K ERA) that constructed the flyover in 2019. “They are responsible to undertake repairs of the flyover.”
Last month, CEO J&K ERA, Syed Abid Rasheed Shah when asked to comment had stated that “we will repair the dilapidated stretch and make sure that no untoward incidents take place.”

Dr. Anthony Fauci says he’ll step down from his present place earlier than the tip of President Biden’s time period, however is way from making an official announcement.
Fauci, the chief medical adviser to the president and director of the Nationwide Institute of Allergy and Infectious Ailments, has stated earlier than that there’s a “finite factor to his tenure,” however an interview with Politico sparked studies of retirement for the nation’s high infectious illness professional.
Fauci instructed NPR that when requested about his present place, he instructed Politico that he does not see himself within the job previous the tip of Biden’s first time period in January 2025.
“I plan to step down from my present place someday between at times and to go on and pursue different instructions in my skilled profession,” Fauci stated. “That has one way or the other been interpreted as my saying my retirement. After I do determine on the date of stepping down I’ll make a proper announcement.”
Fauci, 81, instructed NPR that doesn’t have an actual date in thoughts for his choice however that it might come “sooner slightly than later.” As for what’s subsequent, he stated he’s not positive what he’ll do after leaving his place partially as a result of he hasn’t determined when he will likely be leaving.

Okay, okay, I know when you hear the word roulade you start to think “Yeah right, this recipe is way too much work!” But just hear me out for a minute – it’s really not. Think about this: you pound some meat, toss some fillings in, and roll it up. Not too hard sounding now, is it?
Pretty much you’ll just pound out a pork tenderloin, fill it with spinach and cream cheese, roll it up and keep it in place with toothpicks or butchers string, and throw it in the oven for an hour and a bit – no watching it with eagle eyes, no babysitting it and basting it while it cooks, just a simple, easy, and most of all delicious meal for you and your family!
The flavors of the cream cheese really go a long way with the pork and spinach in this recipe. The slightly crunchy, slight salty flavors of the prosciutto come through to really help take this all to the next level. On top of all that, you can make some crispy green beans with brown mustard and bacon fat to really add more flavor to this entire dish.
Let me know what you think in the comments!
Yields 4 servings of Creamy Spinach Pork Tenderloin Roulade
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 3 3⁄10 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 teaspoons minced garlic
- 5 slices prosciutto
- 6-7 cups spinach
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- ¼ teaspoon Mrs. Dash Table Blend
- Salt and pepper to taste
1. Preheat oven to 450F if you are cooking right away. Otherwise hold off on preheating the oven until you’re ready to use the pork.
Butterfly the pork tenderloin (there are 2 pictured, you should only have 1). You do this by cutting either 1 or 2 slits through the meat depending on the size.
2. Put plastic wrap over the meat and pound it to 1/2″ thickness using the smooth side of the meat hammer. You want to be able to work with it later to roll it.
3. Season meat with salt and pepper to your liking. I normally sprinkle from the container until the whole tenderloin is covered.
4. Using the spiked side of the meat hammer, lightly pound the seasonings into the pork.
5. If you are prepping this recipe is advanced, store the pork tenderloin in the fridge. Otherwise, skip this step.
6. If you are resuming this recipe after you have pounded the pork tenderloin, preheat your oven to 450F. Bring 3 tbsp. + 1 tsp. Olive Oil to high heat in a pan. Add the spinach and let it wilt.
7. Once the spinach starts to wilt, move it aside and add 2 tsp. garlic to the pan. Let this cook for 30-60 seconds and then mix everything together.
8. Using sliced prosciutto, cover the entire pork tenderloin so no meat can be seen.
9. Spoon the spinach and garlic mixture on top of the pork tenderloin, making sure that it doesn’t go too far toward the edges (it will come out of the tenderloin otherwise once we roll it). Add the cream cheese by ripping chunks off.
10. Begin to roll the tenderloin lengthwise. Make sure you have toothpicks or butchers string handy so you can secure it once it’s been rolled.
11. Roll the pork tenderloin with all of the fillings completely shut and then secure it shut with toothpicks or butchers string.
12. Rub the outside of the roulade with 1 tsp. garlic, 1/4 tsp. Mrs. Dash Table Seasoning and fresh ground black pepper to taste.
13. Bake the tenderloin at 450F for 20 minutes, then reduce heat (WITHOUT opening oven door) to 325F and bake for an additional 60-75 minutes or until temperature reaches 145F.
14. Once the meat is done, let rest in foil for about 5-10 minutes.
15. Quick tip: If you’re using canned green beans, sautee them in bacon fat (or olive oil) with red pepper flakes and a sprig or thyme.
16. Cut pork tenderloin into 3/4″ slices and serve. If you’re using green beans, add a little brown mustard and olive oil over the top.

text: Background The basidiomycete is the causal agent of Frosty pod rot (FPR) disease of cacao (genome. helps the taxonomic romantic relationship with as well as the relatedness of the fungus to additional basidiomycetes. Evaluation of RNA-Seq data from infected vegetable cells revealed expressed genes in the biotrophic and necrotrophic stages differentially. The secreted proteins genes which were upregulated in the biotrophic stage are primarily connected with break down of the intercellular matrix and changes from the fungal mycelia, to face mask the fungi from vegetable defenses possibly. Predicated on the transcriptome data, the upregulated secreted proteins in the necrotrophic stage are hypothesized to become positively attacking the vegetable cell wall space and vegetable cellular components leading to necrosis. These genes are being utilized to develop a brand new knowledge of PR-171 supplier how this disease discussion progresses also to determine potential targets to reduce the impact of this devastating disease. Background Fungal plant pathogens can be classified as biotrophic, necrotrophic or hemibiotrophic pathogens based on how they interact with their host. Biotrophic pathogens cause only minor responses from the plant, particularly at initial stages of the disease. These biotrophic pathogens appear to evade plant defenses with stealthy methods . Fungal biotrophs are often obligate pathogens, typically having narrow host ranges, possessing haustoria and secreting limited amounts of lytic enzymes . On the other hand, infection by necrotrophic pathogens causes rapid cell death in hosts and elicit major molecular responses through the vegetable. Necrotrophs may actually utilize brute power and overwhelm the vegetable defenses. Necrotrophs are non-obligate pathogens typically, possess wide sponsor varies and secrete copious levels of lytic toxins and enzymes . Hemibiotrophs initiate disease with an interval of biotrophy, accompanied by a necrotrophic stage, plus they possess properties of both combined organizations. However, the majority of our knowledge of how hemibiotrophs connect to their hosts comes from both of these extremes. Both necrotrophic and biotrophic fungi share common elements but these might possess different purposes when causing disease. Through the host-interaction, the pathogens synthesize and secrete different peptides/protein that block sponsor reactions (biotrophs) or destroy the sponsor cells (necrotrophs). Among biotrophs, the corrosion fungi of flax, excretes cysteine-rich avirulence elicitor protein through the haustoria  as well as the bean corrosion fungus shows extremely coordinated stage particular Rabbit polyclonal to ZNF768 rules of its secreted protein . The necrotrophic fungus offers 109 secreted cell wall structure degrading genes in its genome , while varieties secrete PR-171 supplier non-host and sponsor particular poisons that disrupt photosynthesis and kill plant cells . Therefore, a detailed understanding of specific peptides/proteins secreted during the host-pathogen interaction is vital to elucidate the biotrophic and necrotrophic mechanisms. (Cif.) H.C. Evans, Stalpers, Samson & Benny  causes Frosty Pod Rot (FPR), a devastating pod disease of (cacao), the source of cocoa powder and cocoa butter. Phylogenetically, is related to another fungal pathogen, (Stahel) Aime and Phillips-Mora , which causes Witches Broom Disease (WBD), a disease that infects all cacao meristematic tissues including flowers, shoots, and pods . Together, these pathogens cause two of the most economically important diseases of in the Western Hemisphere [9,10]. While both of these fungal species are pathogenic on the plant genera PR-171 supplier and isn’t known to possess some other hosts, whereas offers specific biotypes that infect different sponsor varieties . Historically, these pathogens possess spread individually to cacao creating areas PR-171 supplier over the Traditional western Hemisphere plus they possess typically led to production deficits of 75% or more in almost all the cacao developing areas in the Americas [10,12]. and so are both hemibiotrophic pathogens, but possess distinctive life styles and pathogenicity strategies. Unlike almost every other hemibiotrophic fungi, both varieties have protracted biotrophic stages or phases that last three to six weeks. They also have distinctly different mycelial morphologies present at the beginning and the end of the disease process [10,13]. In both diseases, the infected herb tissues are asymptomatic for 14 to 21 days. After that period of time, these tissues typically begin to show some form of altered growth or swelling that continues for the remainder of the biotrophic phase, culminating with the necrosis of the host tissues,.

Next week, the Supreme Court will be hearing arguments for Whole Women's Health v Hellerstedt, a case out of Texas that will determine if states will be allowed to enact back-door bans on abortion by passing a bunch of unmeetable and unnecessary regulations that force clinics to shutter. Even if the court overturns the Texas law that forces clinics to build hospital-style operating rooms and have admitting privileges at local hospitals (neither regulation makes abortions safer), the rash of anti-abortion legislation across the country has already done its damage.
As Bloomberg News reports, 162 clinics have closed or stopped offering abortion since 2011, and only 21 have opened. That's a huge problem, because there really aren't that many clinics to begin with. (Guttmacher counts fewer than 2,000 to handle the over 1 million abortions a year.) To make things worse, the clinic closures tend to be more concentrated in red states, which means that there are some places in this country where women simply can't get an abortion if they need one.
In Texas, the restriction requiring clinics to have hospital admitting privileges has already gone into effect, halving the number of clinics in the state. The impact has been devastating. The remaining clinics are now having to handle way more patients than they are equipped to handle, forcing women in areas like Dallas, Ft. Worth, and Austin to wait up to three weeks to get an abortion. Women in rural areas, especially in the west, are even worse off. Researchers in the state found that women are having to travel hundreds of miles, taking time off work and paying for hotel rooms, just to get an abortion. In some cases, the expense is too great and they are simply forced to have a baby, which is an immense burden on someone who can't afford travel to get an abortion.
Not that anti-choice activists or politicians give two hoots about the negative effects of abortion restrictions. After all, hurting women is the point of all this, and there appears to be no ethical or moral restraint on the lengths they will go to in order to hurt women.
In Alabama, which is already down to a mere five abortion clinics in the state, state Sen. Paul Sanford is showing exactly how much contempt he has for women by offering a bill that would literally regulate abortion clinics the same way that sex offenders are handled. The law would forbid clinics from operating within 2,000 feet of a public school, directly imitating the same regulation applied to sex offenders.
Obviously, the purpose of this bill is to imply that women who have sex without wanting to have babies are the equivalent of rapists and kiddie diddlers, but since anti-choicers can't breathe without being disingenuous about it, Sanford's got a bunch of nonsense justifications for this. In this case, he claims he's doing it to protect children from anti-choice protesters, arguing that clinics "do tend to cause a certain amount of commotion on a regular basis."
It is true that anti-choice protesters are the worst, especially in Hunstville, Alabama, where the local God-botherers get a special joy out of terrorizing children by screaming vitriol about women who terminate pregnancies. Parents of a local elementary school there report that anti-choice protesters have been targeting them as they drop their kids off at school, waving their fetus signs and yelling right wing slogans that tend not make sense unless you're immersed in their abortion-obsessed subculture.
Encouraging people to picket abortion clinics and then using the picketers as an excuse to shut down the clinics is a perfect example of how anti-choice legislators have taken to encouraging immoral and even illegal behavior, so long as it advances the cause of shutting off women's access to reproductive health care.
Now this level of shamelessness has entered the presidential race, courtesy of Ted Cruz. During Wednesday night's town hall on Fox News, Cruz outright promised to that he would, as president, offer a pardon to a notorious anti-choice activist named David Daleiden, if Daleiden is convicted of breaking multiple laws in his efforts to demonize Planned Parenthood.
Daleiden was arrested in Texas after a grand jury that was convened to look into Daleiden's allegations that Planned Parenthood is running a black market fetal tissue-selling operation. The grand jury instead decided to charge Daleiden and his associate with falsifying government documents and attempts to buy fetal tissue. Daleiden and his organization, the misleadingly named Center for Medical Progress, spent years trying to get employees at Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers on hidden camera agreeing to sell fetal tissue, and so far, they've gotten nothing. Frustrated by his inability to cajole abortion providers into breaking the law, Daleiden instead deceptively edited the videos to make it seem like the sales were happening, but repeated journalistic and governmental investigations show he has no evidence. Now he's under indictment for allegedly breaking various laws in his fruitless quest to prove that an anti-choice urban legend is real.
Cruz's willingness to excuse such a man — and to shamelessly accuse Daleiden's victims at Planned Parenthood of being a "national criminal enterprise" with absolutely no evidence for the accusation — shows the extremes that conservative politicians will go to in order to prevent women from accessing abortion or affordable contraception. That shamelessness is why abortion clinics across the country are closing, because there's no much you can do when legislators are willing to sign off on a bunch of legislation written in bad faith targeting clinics. If the Supreme Court lets Texas get away with writing a bunch of unnecessary regulations to shut down clinics, there will be nothing to stop legislators from going hog wild with the laws, effectively ending legal abortion access for millions of women across the country.

Kansans got some upbeat news late last week, as the number of new jobs surged by 8,400 in October. That exceeded the paltry 7,900 created through the entire first nine months of the year.
Gov. Sam Brownback, who was re-elected on Nov. 4 to another four-year term, has long promised that income tax cuts he approved would attract lots of new employees.
The additional jobs in October should help boost tax collections, at least a little bit. However, that also depends on how many of the newly employed actually are paying income taxes. They may have been attracted by the generous exclusions created by Brownback and the Legislature.
It’s crucial that Kansas bring in more revenue because state funds are projected to be hundreds of millions of dollars below previous estimates. As a result, state officials concluded earlier this month that Kansas would have to slice more than $700 million to balance its budget over the next 18 months or so.
Even after the huge addition of jobs in October, the employment growth rate in Kansas since the tax cuts took effect in January of 2013 trails three of its four neighboring states, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Colorado’s employment is up 4.8 percent in that span, followed by Oklahoma, 3.1 percent; Missouri, 2.9 percent; Kansas, 2.4 percent; and Nebraska, 1.8 percent.
In addition, through September, Kansas had trailed a total of 31 other states in job growth since January of 2013.
The October jobs report may be the harbinger of better times ahead for the Kansas economy.
Or it could turn out to be little more than a momentary statistical blip.

What is Colon Cancer?
Colon cancer starts in the colon. Most colon cancers develop slowly over many years. A large number of colon cancer cases begin as a polyp—a growth of tissue that starts in the lining and grows into the center of the colon. This tissue may or may not be colon cancer. A polyp known as adenoma can become colon cancer. Removing a polyp early may keep it from becoming colon cancer.
What is Rectal Cancer?
Rectal cancer is cancer that starts in the tissues of the rectum.
Risk Assessment & Symptoms for Colon Cancer and Rectal Cancer
Increased risk for colon cancer and rectal cancer has been linked to:
Age—Nine out of 10 people with colorectal cancer are older than 50.
History—Having had polyps, colon cancer or rectal cancer before, a history of bowel disease, or a family history of colon cancer or rectal cancer.
Race—African Americans and Jews of Eastern European descent have a higher risk for colon and rectal cancer.
Lifestyle—Poor diet, lack of exercise, being overweight, smoking, alcohol, and diabetes appears to increase risk of developing colon and rectal cancer.
Although colon and rectal cancer, also referred to as colorectal cancer, often display no symptoms (which is why early screening is so important), in later stages people may experience:
- Diarrhea, constipation, or narrow stools that last for more than a few days.
- A feeling that you need to have a bowel movement that doesn’t go away after doing so.
- Rectal bleeding, dark stools, or blood in the stool (often, though, the stool will look normal).
- Cramping or stomach pain.
- Weakness and tiredness.
Colon Cancer and Rectal Cancer Screenings
Colon and rectal cancer remain a leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the United States—causing nearly 50,000 deaths a year. This is most likely due to the fact that 40 percent of those who should get screened for colon cancer and rectal cancer don’t—usually due to fear or embarrassment.
The American Cancer Society, American College of Radiology, and U.S. Multi-Society Task Force on Colorectal Cancer recommend regular screenings beginning at age 50 for people at average risk for colon cancer or rectal cancer. Several screening options exist. Your family doctor can help determine what colon cancer or rectal screening cancer program is right for you.
Fecal occult blood tests typically are performed at home and returned to a laboratory for analysis. If blood (occult) is detected in the stool samples, further testing will be required.
Colonoscopy examines the rectum and entire 6-foot length of the colon (large intestine). Patients prepare by eating a restricted diet and drinking a laxative preparation to ensure the colon is free of feces. Patients are sedated for the procedure, during which the doctor threads a thin, flexible endoscope with a miniature camera on the leading end through the rectum and into the colon. Images from inside the colon are viewed on a display monitor. It takes about 30 minutes. If precancerous polyps or other abnormal tissue are found, they can be removed during the exam.
Sigmoidoscopy examines only the rectum and lower two feet of the colon. It takes about 10-20 minutes. Sedation is optional. Preparation for the test is easier than for a colonoscopy. However, 50 percent of polyps and cancers are found in the upper colon, which is beyond the reach of most sigmoidoscopes.
Double-contrast barium enemas evaluate the colon using X-ray and barium contrast dye to view a clear silhouette of the rectum, colon, and sometimes, a small portion of the small intestine. If polyps are detected, a colonoscopy will probably be recommended.
The best time to be screened for colon or rectal cancer is when you’re feeling well and not having symptoms. Because when detected early, colon and rectal cancer are not only treatable, but also preventable.

The former location of Sake Bomb, where guests ate sushi and knocked little glasses of sake into their beer, has been taken over by a Vietnamese restaurant called Saigon Cafe. Guests can eat sushi and knock back pho, shaken beef, Vietnamese crepes and other specialties of Vietnam.
Alex Nguyen opened the cafe last Saturday. It’s his first restaurant, but his family owns a Vietnamese restaurant in Louisville, Vietnamese Kitchen.
The restaurant will be open late on weekends, with the kitchen open until 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday. There’s a full bar and a sushi bar, a dining room and a sidewalk patio that seats 50.
Hyde Park is well known to have a big inventory of Asian restaurants, from China Gourmet and Doodles to Lemongrass, Blue Elephant and Bangkok Bistro. But this is the first Vietnamese restaurant in the neighborhood. It joins a fairly small number of Vietnamese restaurants in Greater Cincinnati, including Song Long, Pho Lang Thang, Chopsticks, Pho Saigon and Cilantro.
Vietnamese food is very accessible, healthy and easy to like. It involves a lot of raw vegetables and fresh herbs, making it great in the summer. The famous Vietnamese noodle soup, pho, is based on a complex beef broth that everyone does a little differently (and with a tendency to rivalry). Cold rolls, the wonderful crepe-like banh xeo, the cold salads with noodles and herbs and thin, rice vinegar-dressings, are healthy and light.
Hours: Lunch 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday-Saturday
Dinner 5-11 p.m. Monday-Thursday; 5 p.m.-2 a.m. Friday and Saturday; and 1-11 p.m. Sunday.

I rarely have corn syrup around so I used honey instead - they were a little too sweet - but of course my kids love them!
I can't wait to try them with corn syrup - honestly they are just as yummy as kudos bars, super versatile, and sooo cheap to make!


Yobe State Steadily Expanding the Frontiers of Tourism
The Mauyi-Ganga Fishing Festival
BY EGUONO ODJEGBA
Without controversy, Yobe State ranks the leading home of fishing cultural festival in the country, where the state is building a steady capacity in the tourism industry, with a second fishing cultural festival, knowns as the Mauyi-Ganga Fishing Festival, believed to be fast assuming a great tourist potential.
Coming next to Argungun Fishing Festival, Yobe State’s world recognised cultural festival, there are strong indications that the present Yobe State Government is leaving nothing to chance to develop the Mauyi-Ganga Fishing Festival into a frontline tourism activity, designed to expand its socioeconomic frontiers.
Fishing festivals in parts of the northern region has for over a century been at the front row of cultural renaissance, with Yobe State currently leading in fishing fiestas, attracting dignitaries, admirers and tourists from far and near.
Alternatively known as the Bade Fishing Festival, the Mauyi-Ganga Fishing Festival has become a historic event to reckon with, steadily growing into a national cultural activity. Although the Mauyi-Ganga Fishing Festival was revived in February last year, after it was last held over 24 years ago, those whose business it is to know say it has been around for 60 years.
The 2020 edition was held at the ancient Gogaram Village of old Bade headquarters of Yobe State, while the recent one held at the same venue amid pomp and funfair, equally attracted a mammoth crowd, including traditional rulers, dignitaries and state actors.
Sources familiar with the Mauyi-Ganga or Bade fishing festivals inform that prior to the resuscitation of the event, each villages in the kingdom carried out its separate fishing festivities; dating back as far as 1956; which was hitherto tagged the Mauyi-Ganga Fishing Festival, believed to have originated at the Alkamaram River.
Record has it that Mauyi-Ganga has its origin in a folklore tied around a drummer from some distant history. According to Alhaji Mamman Suleiman, the Maji Dadi of Bade, who is also Secretary Bade Emirate Council, Mauyi-Ganga were ideas that originated from a drummer in time immemorial.
According to him, there was a huge tamarind tree at the bank of the Mauyi River where rural dwellers usually gathered and played. Narrating the birth of the tradition, Alhaji Suleiman said, “It happened that after having some moments of fun, a drummer had forgotten his drum and was asked by his colleagues as he entered into the village the where about of the drum”, adding:
“A drum was among the valuable items because it has been used to entertain and pass powerful messages among communities.” The drummer reportedly replied that he was not sure whether he left it at the bank of the river. The villagers were said to have returned to the river in search of the missing drum.
He said as they got there they saw the drum hanged on a tamarind tree and they called out “Mauyi-Ganga.” Translated, “Mauyi” means to hang while “Ganga” mean drum; and therefore “Mauyi-Ganga” means the drum was hanged.
According to reports, the Secretary of Bade Emirate Council said since then, the place was named Mauyi-Ganga and has been utilized to host annual fishing festival, attracting tourists from within and outside the state.
Until recently, the festival was solely financed by the traditional ruler of Bade, the Mai of Bade, but with the establishment of Bade Native Authority, it started to provide small grants, whilst well wishers including prominent sons and daughters of Yobe State, are said to be offering some personal assistance, as the current state government is said to have expressed interest to grow the Mauyi-Ganga Fishing Cultural Festival.
This year’s edition which lasted two days marked the 38th edition since inception. The two day event witnessed exhibitions in traditional dances, hunters’ display, spear throwing, swimming on calabash and fishing competition among others.
Persons with the biggest fish catch always go home with some reward. Although the Mauyi-Ganga Fishing Cultural Festival is presently not as big as the Argungun Fishing Festival, a native, Saidu Yusuf, says it has great potential to become a national and international event.
The Bade Fishing Festival started in 1938 during the reign of Mai Aji, initially just as a fishing festival, but over the years it evolved into a full blown fishing and cultural festival.
In 1975, it was recognized as an annual festival by the North Eastern government, enjoying state support including the building of pavilion and guests chalets. Under the current Yobe State government, it has enjoyed some support under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, recognized as a festival with potential to grow the state’s tourism sector.
It is believed that through the support of the current Senate President, Ahmad Lawal, a Federal Road is currently been constructed from Gasamu to the festival location by federal road maintenance agency (FERMA).
As the nation faces certain fundamental and economic restructuring, Yobe State asides its rich natural endowment, has the largest reserve of tourism potential including fishing and cultural festivals.
The state’s tourism sector well attended to can develop and grow a significant part of its GDP, amid showcasing its other vast potentials to advantage.

Tales from the Trail
Eric Holder, President Barack Obama’s attorney general, has been castigated by liberals and conservatives for his decisions about prosecuting terrorism suspects in criminal courts, defending a law that effectively bans gay marriages and then dropping it, and efforts to go after fraud in the financial markets that have resulted in few senior corporate executives going to jail.
After a week of questions and criticism, the legal team hired by Republicans in the House of Representatives to defend a law banning gay marriage suffered a shake-up of sorts on Monday when the law firm dropped the case and the lawyer who was going to lead the effort resigned from the firm.
The Republican-controlled House of Representatives has hired Paul Clement, the former solicitor general during George W. Bush’s presidency, to pick up the ball and defend the law that defined marriage as between a man and woman.
One of the last remaining cases from the Jack Abramoff corruption scandal that rocked the U.S. capital resulted in another conviction, this one over an all-expenses paid trip to New York City for the first game of the 2003 World Series.
For weeks, leading Democrats have castigated pro-Republican special interest groups involved in the current election campaign for what they describe as secretive fundraising practices.
After months of trying times, U.S. Justice Department officials are walking with a little spring in their step, describing it as a “good week” after the terrorism suspect accused of trying to detonate a car bomb in the heart of New York’s busy Times Square was nabbed only two days after the failed attack.
When President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize last October it caught most by surprise and sent his lawyers scurrying to quietly make sure that the president could receive the prestigious award without running afoul with the U.S. Constitution or federal law.
More than four years after agreeing to plead guilty in the Abramoff political lobbying scandal that rocked Washington, D.C., the press secretary for former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay will learn late this summer how much time in prison he will face.

Floating Islands is a mechanical floating orchestra which was commissioned for the opening of the Royal Netherlands Embassy in Berlin. This sound and light piece was installed in the River Spree, facing the Embassy building. The project was presented by sound art space Singuhr – Hörgalerie in Parochial – Berlin.
The orchestra consists of fifty small floating “sound islands” made up of fifty vacuum cleaners, plastic bottles and illuminants. A 60 by 15 meter formation fixed in a free water space. The base bodies of the ‘islands’ are constructed from floating red hard plastic buoys. Self-built flutes made from transparent plastic bottles are fixed on top of the buoys, a battery of 50 vacuum cleaners is connected with the ‘floating islands’ via a hose system. Hanging in a big framework on a swimming plattform or on land the battery of vacuum cleaners breathes life into the flutes like a huge lung. The steering unit consists of a controller running a composition and a midi-to-volt-translator triggering a solid-state relays system switching the vacuum cleaners. Since the vacuum cleaners hang in the framework they swing when triggered, thus making the installation more transparent and pulsating. Each island has an additional light element built into the bottles that will, at night, instead of playing the flute only visually interpret the composition.
The compositions are created for a permanent altering and moving sound programme on this floating soundfield.

Helped by a mild winter and good spring nesting weather, South Dakota’s pheasant population is up 18 percent from last year, based on the August roadside survey.
“The mild winter of 2011-12 was the boost we needed for pheasant survival and reproductive potential,” said Jeff Vonk, secretary of the South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks.
Still, the population in some areas remain well below the 10-year averages. In the Huron area, for example, the pheasants-per-mile count was up 38 percent from 2011, but still down 49 percent from the 10-year average.
The Aberdeen area is up 51 percent from last year, but remains 41 percent below the 10-year average.
Still, the news is encouraging. About 20,000 Minnesota pheasant hunters head to South Dakota each fall.
“Pheasant hunting will be good across most of the state, with the traditional pheasant range once again providing excellent hunting opportunities,” Vonk said. “More than 1.5 million pheasants were harvested last year.’’
You can see the entire report at www.startribune.com/a1679.
Meanwhile, Minnesota’s annual roadside pheasant survey results are expected to be released Sept. 4.

Oil Pour: Spring Wind
I lived awhile without you,
Darn near half my life.
I no longer see our unborn children,
Born to you my unwed wife.
But yesterday I had a vision,
Beneath the tree where we once talked,
Of an old couple burning
Their love letters so their children
Won't be shocked.
