Lamborghini is by definition a spectacular brand that creates awesome vehicles. Although rather new on stage, the Lamborghini Aventador sports car has been set under the magnifier of many tuning companies. The car has received a great amount of tunes. Mansory, Hamann Motorsports, Gemballa, Fab Design, Wheelasandmore, Hennessey Performance are just a few of the names that took on the challenge of modifying the already super car. Vorsteiner, as every respectable tuning company, is no exception to the rule. They have recently introduced a few images with their Lamborghini Aventador-V LP-740 project.
The photos show a Lamborghini Aventador which has suffered a few modifications on the outside. The most important are the updated front bumper with built-in dual air intake surrounds made from carbon fiber. Notable enough is also a front splitter made from carbon fiber, a central racing stripe and regarding the tires, the supercar sits on a couple of 20-inch front and 21-inch rear alloys wrapped in Pirelli P Zero rubbers.
Vorsteiner’s project is probably one of the most top rated tuning programs for the Lamborghini Aventador. The name itself suggests us a great change. LP 740 stands for the maximum hp that the tuner achieved to squeeze from the supercar’s engine. From the stock 700 HP (515 kW) and 690 Nm (509 lb-ft) the vehicle now offers 740 HP (544 kW) and 737 Nm (544 lb-ft). The same V12 6.5-liter engine generates this power. The engine has received an ECU remap from Hex Flash. On the whole, the Vorsteiner package is among the best that have been created by now for the Aventador.

Updated/Fact-Chacked on April 11, 2023 by John
If you have booked a holiday this summer or any time away, I’m sure the gardener’s anxiety has started “are my plants all going to die when I’m away”?
This post will give you a few ideas to ease your worries and ensure your outdoor plants are thriving when you return.
The first stage is to plan exactly which plants will need the most attention; outdoor pots and young plants are likely to need the most attention. Create an easy to follow list if someone is coming over to water your garden.
Give your plants a good soak prior to departure, we don’t mean a sprinkle, really soak the roots – follow our how to water outdoor plants guide to ensure optimal watering.
Here are a few ways to water your outdoor plants while you are away.
Ask a friend or neighbour
The ideal scenario is having a friendly neighbour that loves gardening, but this is not always the case. Both of my neighbours have no interest in gardening and I would not want to ask them to water my plants, I also would not rely on my teenage son!
The second option is asking family or friends to help out, but again this is not always an option. Ideally, find a friend that is going away at a different time and come to an agreement, you could also trade pet feeding for watering.
Buy slow-release nozzles for plastic bottles
You can create a DIY watering system for your containers if you are on a budget by using plastic controls valves that fit on bottles, like this one below made by Augoog.
These are very simple but highly effective drip systems that can be set to drip for up to 15 days, perfect for containers. Simply attach it to any plastic bottle and insert the spike into your container.
If you are looking for something more aesthetically pleasing, then check out these globes from Kikihome. These globes are filled with water and the end pipe is wrapped with cloth to produce a slow drip system. The makers state the globes can drip for 3 weeks and the product has rave reviews.
Buy a micro drip irrigation system
You can buy dedicated watering systems with timmers, some even run from mobile apps, that attach to your outdoor tap or water butt. You could be watering your plants while sipping a pina colada in Antigua. You can buy cheap drip systems if you are on a budget, but if you are growing for the Chelsea Flower show, you might need something a bit more bespoke.
Most drip irrigation systems consist of a group of pipes attached to a water supply and strategically placed at the plant’s base. Precise water levels can then be dripped to the plant’s roots over time.
Watering wick method
Water wicks are usually used for indoor plants, but the same system could be used with outdoor containers.
Ropes or rags can be used to allow water to travel from your water container into your plant pots. You can place all your plant pots around one water container and have capillary ropes going into each one.
Use an olla
Ollas are often used on plants that require a lot of water like tomatoes. Ollas have been used for centuries, where clay pots are buried next to your plants and the vessel is filled with water; water slowly seeps out of them to the surrounding roots. This system works because plain terracotta pots (not glazed) are porous.
Ollas are very effective as they water the roots directly, it’s a deep watering system that is cheap to create.
Improve containers with water retaining crystals
They will not be enough to keep your plants well-watered for 2-3 weeks but can work well if combined with a DIY drip system.
Water retaining granules are good in hanging baskets as they trap some of the water that would otherwise pass through the entire basket and be lost.
Move containers to areas of partial shade
Plants will generally survive better for a couple of weeks in partial shade if well-watered, this will slow the evaporation process.

One Christian Louboutins latest creations, the perspex heel.
Have a look at the many celebs who have donned these beauties.
Rihanna sported the iconic black perspex shoes at this years Met Ball.
Kim Kardashian wore them whilst out on a date with her new beau Kanye West.
And lastly Rita Ora teamed the fuchsia colour perspex heels with an amazing white dress.
Who wore them best?
I have to say I am completely besotted with Kim's sense of fashion. I love that she enjoys accentuating her curves, because lord know we all have them. But how hot does Rihanna look is that backless dress.


At the conclusion of the 2017 regular season, Pro Football Focus released its list of the NFL’s best 101 players. But with training camps and the preseason slowly approaching, PFF decided to compile a new list from a different angle.
Earlier this week, PFF released its list of the top 50 NFL players for 2018, and two members of the New York Giants made the cut.
The first, as you might expect, was wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
47. Odell Beckham Jr., WR, New York Giants
Beckham Jr. showed everybody what he was capable of as a rookie and that overall PFF grade of 93.0 remains the best mark of his career. It also sits in the top 10 of all single-season grades we have given a wide receiver since we have been grading every player on every play of every game in the NFL season. OBJ’s grade has declined each year since that season but was still excellent before his injury-hit 2017. He has as much talent as any receiver in the game and has broken 62 tackles after the catch with the ball in his hands over his career, despite that injury-shortened 2017.
The next Giant is one who is frequently overlooked, and who has taken issue with that. And while it’s nice to see him finally getting some well-deserved recognition, there should be more.
44. Damon Harrison, DI, New York Giants
In a league that has become ever more pass-oriented, Harrison is still able to stand out as a run-defending monster. He once again led all interior defensive linemen in run-stop percentage (15.8 percent) – a statistic that might as well be named after him at this point. He has led the league in every season of his career after a rookie season that saw him play just 22 snaps. He has topped 40 defensive stops in the run game for three consecutive years and has as many seasons of 40-plus run stops as every other defensive tackle in the league combined since 2006.
The PFF countdown is only up to No. 31, but it’s unlikely any other Giants will make the list unless safety Landon Collins checks in somewhere in the top 30.

By Fanchon Besnard. kitchen islands. Published at Sunday, August 11th, 2019 - 23:38:22 PM.
The big house should have the consideration about the position of kitchen cabinet. Common chairs with middle ceramic table always the right compilation on making it as the place for the whole families. This could be the formal look in the kitchen island ideas. Little stuff in the cabinet above the table and upper the sink. There are not many area is used to be your kitchen. But, you can still find some stuff above the ceramic table.
Waterfall kitchen islands are those that have a worktop edge that flows over the side of the surface of the island, then continuing down to the floor. Kind of like a waterfall. You can choose to have the waterfall added to one side of the island, or both if you prefer a more balanced look. Now you know more about the style of waterfall islands, let’s take a look at why they have increased in popularity.
Rattan chair and the long white table are sweet combination in making homey atmosphere in your kitchen. The large table will be added with many cooking food and the eating stuffs. Big hanging lamps absolutely bring clear light when there is family gathering. The color choice of gray for the cabinet and the wall can make fresh look for your kitchen. The use of ceramic table also complete this kitchen island ideas. The stuffs in the kitchen are well-managed in each cabinet.
Not all kitchens are designed to hold kitchen islands. A lot depends on the size of the interior space but there’s also the arrangement of the existing or new kitchen. There are G-shaped kitchens, L-shaped kitchens, U-shaped kitchens, and galley kitchens, and many of these don’t suit having an island in the middle. A G-shaped kitchen, which contains a peninsular section, might make the interior feel more crowded than it ideally should. A more open-plan kitchen-dining space however, where wall-based cabinets are at a premium, might benefit hugely from the addition of an island.

He intends to fight 3 Half-Saints on his own?
Everyone here was stunned by this.
At this moment, Yang Ye was stunned as well. Elder Mu actually intends to fight 3 opponents on his own? They aren’t Monarch Realm experts but Half-Saints just like Elder Mu!
Was Elder Mu at the Saint Realm? That was clearly impossible. Because it was impossible for Elder Mu to stay on Profounder Continent if he was at the Saint Realm. So, it made Yang Ye wonder why Elder Mu dared to fight 3 other Half-Saints!
Of course, no matter what, the stronger Elder Mu was, the better it was for Yang Ye!
The expressions of the Half-Saints from the demon race, devil race, and oceanic race changed. They’d thought that the Undertaker would make a compromise, but they’d never imagined that he would actually intend to fight all 3 of them on his own!
Is he that confident?
The 3 of them didn’t mock or ridicule Elder Mu, and they only had extremely serious expressions on their faces. Because not only was the Undertaker’s background mysterious, even his strength was extremely mysterious. So, since he dared to speak about fighting the 3 of them, then it proved that he was definitely confident in his ability to accomplish it. Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for Elder Mu to act in this way. After all, the joint forces of 3 Half-Saints was absolutely capable of killing a Half-Saint!
Elder Mu said, “Those at the Monarch Realm or above aren’t allowed to interfere. All of you have broken the rules. Since it’s like that, then pay a little in advance for your mistakes!” As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Mu slapped his palm towards the space in front of him….
The devil territory.
An enormous palm appeared out of thin air in the sky above the devil territory before smashing down to the ground. The entire devil territory trembled violently as millions of profounders from the devil race transformed into dust and dirt….
At the same time, an enormous palm that blotted out the sky had appeared in the sky above the territory of the oceanic clans. It descended into the ocean before an enormous explosion resounded while waves rose to a height of over 30km. Just this attack took the lives of millions of profounders from the oceanic clans!
“I’ll give the Demon Emperor face and spare the demon race!” Elder Mu glanced indifferently at the white haired old man.
All 3 of them were astounded!
He actually acted against ordinary profounders!“You’re courting death!” The Oceanic Emperor roared furiously as he waved his hand, and then an enormous palm appeared above the southern territory as well. However, it had only just appeared when another palm tore through the sky and smashed it into pieces.
The Oceanic Emperor’s pupils constricted while shock appeared in his eyes because he realized that the Undertaker’s strength far surpassed his own….
“Do you really intend to fight us to the death?” The black robed old man spoke in a heavy voice.
“All of you’ve broken the rules!” said Elder Mu.
“The continent’s survival is linked to the Mortal Emperor, so he can’t die!” said the white haired old man.
Elder Mu shook his head and chuckled, “So only he can attack my disciple, yet my disciple can’t attack him? Do the 3 really think that your joint forces can suppress us? Cut the crap. All of you will never abide by the rules if you don’t experience some pain. Come fight me or fuck off!”
“How dare you!”
All of them were Half-Saints so how could they endure such humiliation?
“Since you want to fight, then let’s fight!” The white haired old man flashed into the sky.
“I’ll accompany you until the end!” The black robed old man grunted coldly and shot into the sky as well.
“You’re dead!” The Oceanic Emperor glanced coldly at Elder Mu before he flew into the sky as well.
Elder Mu glanced at Yang Ye and said, “Do as you want. No one will be able to bully you!” As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed off after the other 3 Half-Saints.
In next to no time, the sound of battle resounded!
Yang Ye took a deep breath, and then he gazed at Luo Jun and said, “Only death awaits you today! The Clear River Sect will be annihilated today as well! Die!”
As soon as he spoke, almost 400 Sword Servants instantly attacked the disciples of Clear River Sect.
“Yang Ye, my Clear River Sect has changed its mind….” The anxious voice of the Clear River Sect’s Master resounded. He hadn’t expected that the Undertaker would actually dare to fight 3 Half-Saints on his own. He didn’t know if the Undertaker would win, but he was clearly aware that even if the Clear River Sect could win the battle with Yang Ye, it would be a pyrrhic one.
“It’s too late for that!” Yang Ye’s figure was like a ray of light that shot at Luo Jun. After all, Luo Jun’s actions of ordering assassinations on Little Yao, Bao’er, Ding Shaoyao, and the others had undoubtedly crossed the line and touched his reverse scale. Especially when Ding Shaoyao was in a critical condition right now….
At this moment, there was only a single thought in Yang Ye’s mind, and it was to kill. It was the intention to annihilate all his enemies!
Moreover, he was determined to kill Luo Jun today!
Luo Jun’s eyelids twitched when he saw Yang Ye charging towards him, and he moved backwards in succession. At this moment, he was clearly aware that he was absolutely not a match for Yang Ye. While Luo Jun had retreated, the experts of the Exalted Han Empire by his side charged at Yang Ye instead. It wasn’t that they didn’t fear Yang Ye, but they had no choice because their families would be annihilated if Luo Jun died!
No one was able to stop Yang Ye’s sword. All those who came into contact with him were practically instantly annihilated or were suppressed by his 12th level Sword Intent to the point that they didn’t dare move forward….
Luo Jun finally revealed terror in his eyes upon witnessing this scene. The reason he’d dared to show himself before Yang Ye again and even scheme against Yang Ye was because he had 3 Half-Saints standing behind him. But he hadn’t imagined that the Undertaker would actually dare to fight all 3 of those Half-Saints…. Since the Half-Saints were being kept busy, he had no one to protect him anymore….
Luo Jun didn’t hesitate to turn around and flee. He was very clearly aware that no Monarch Realm expert would dare to protect him while the outcome of the battle in the sky hadn’t been decided. Because regardless of whether it was the Clear River Sect or Exalted Han Empire, they were unable to endure the vengeance of a Half-Saint. Since Monarch Realm experts couldn’t interfere, then could anyone in the Exalt Realm stop Yang Ye?
A wisp of ferocity flashed through Yang Ye’s eyes when he saw Luo Jun flee, and he activated his Sword Domain while he swiftly swung the intent sword without end. Countless strands of sword qi shot violently towards the surroundings while he transformed into a ray of light that shot towards Luo Jun.
“Protect Luo Jun!” Right at this moment, a voice suddenly resounded from high above.
The expression of Clear River Sect’s Master changed slightly. What does he mean by that? Does he want the Monarch Realm experts of my sect to act against Yang Ye? Or does he want me to stop Yang Ye?Should I do it?
He was extremely conflicted, but it didn’t take long for him to come to a decision when he saw Yang Ye’s puppets slaughtering the disciples of his sect. No matter what, his sect had no way out of the situation now.
His figure flashed and appeared behind Luo Jun.
He gazed at Yang Ye who’d arrived in front of him and said, “Luo Jun can’t die!”
Right at this moment, a pitch black walking stick shot through the sky. It wasn’t really fast, but the expression of Clear River Sect’s Master had changed drastically. He hadn’t imagined that the Undertaker would still be able to attack him while dealing with the joint forces of 3 Half-Saints. He was just about to dodge when the walking stick suddenly sped up, and it only took an instant for it to pierce through his chest….
“I….” He stared blankly into the sky. Only now did the Sect Master of Clear River Sect realize how formidable the Undertaker’s strength was….
“No one can save you!” Yang Ye appeared in front of Luo Jun and slashed his intent sword down.
Luo Jun would naturally not wait helplessly for death to arrive. His profound energy surged madly into the Mortal Emperor Sword before he swung it against Yang Ye’s sword.
A huge explosion resounded before Luo Jun’s figure was blasted flying.
“Die!” Yang Ye shot forward like a cannonball towards Yang Ye. When Yang Ye was about to arrive before Luo Jun, the Mortal Emperor Sword suddenly left Luo Jun’s grasp and transformed into a ray of golden light that surged towards Yang Ye!
The Sword Spirit within it was protecting its master!
Yang Ye grunted coldly as he swung his sword down.
The Mortal Emperor Sword was blasted flying, but it immediately transformed into a ray of golden light that shot explosively towards Yang Ye.
“Fuck off!” Yang Ye roared furiously as he swung the intent sword against the Mortal Emperor Sword and blasted it flying again. However, it shot explosively towards him once more….
Yang Ye didn’t choose to blast it flying again. He draconified his hands and activated the Sword Domain to suppress the Mortal Emperor Sword, and he grabbed it at the moment it slowed down.
Luo Jun’s expression changed drastically when he saw this, and he charged towards Yang Ye. He could lose the Mortal Emperor Seal and Mortal Emperor Armor, but he absolutely couldn’t lose the Mortal Emperor Sword. How could he possibly still be qualified to be the Mortal Emperor once he lost it? However, a little girl appeared in front of him, and she blinked before two beams of lightning surged forward and instantly blasted Luo Jun flying….
“Yes!” Lei Lin clapped while she revealed a happy smile. After that, she gestured towards Luo Jun, and a bolt of lightning suddenly shot down towards him….
Meanwhile, the Mortal Emperor had instantly started trembling violently when Yang Ye grabbed it, and countless rays of light were surging out from within it. Yang Ye’s dragon claws instantly had countless fine holes opened up on them, and it caused Yang Ye’s expression to change slightly. He hadn’t expected that the Mortal Emperor Sword would actually be so terrifying. Right when the Mortal Emperor Sword was about to struggle free from his grasp, the ancient sheath that hung on his waist suddenly emanated a ray of light!
Yang Ye’s eyes lit up, and then he shoved the Mortal Emperor Sword into the ancient sheath. As soon as it entered the ancient sheath, the ancient sheath started trembling violently as if it was on the verge of exploding apart. However, less than 2 breaths of time passed before the Mortal Emperor Sword calmed down completely.
How could that be possible? When Yang Ye sheathed the Mortal Emperor Sword within the ancient sheath, Luo Jun who was resisting Lei Lin’s lightning sensed that the link between him and the Mortal Emperor Sword had been cut. He swiftly looked at Yang Ye while disbelief filled his eyes.
The Mortal Emperor Sword had acknowledged him as its master, and that represented that the heavens had chosen him. So, even a Monarch Realm expert would absolutely be unable to seize his Mortal Emperor Sword. After all, the Mortal Emperor Sword would definitely not submit to anyone besides the Mortal Emperor. But at this moment, he’d clearly sensed that the link between them had been severed.
“Impossible!” Luo Jun was on the verge of going mad. The reason the Hallowed Grounds and those Half-Saints had taken his side was because he was the Mortal Emperor. Once he unified the continent, the Mortal Emperor Sword combined with the Faith Energy of the continent would be capable of providing great assistance in the fight with the defiant profounders. Yet now, the Mortal Emperor Sword had been taken by Yang Ye, so it truly made him wonder if he was still the Mortal Emperor!
“Horizon Warp!” Right at this moment, Yang Ye’s voice resounded, and then a sword pierced through Luo Jun’s chest….

Marshmallow is an excellent natural remedy for dogs. It can be used to improve the digestive system and provide relief from stomach upset and diarrhea. Marshmallow also contains vitamin C, which helps to maintain a healthy immune system.
Marshmallow is often used to treat diarrhea in dogs, as it helps provide relief from stomach upset, gas, bloating and pain that can accompany diarrhea. The root of the plant is especially beneficial for dogs with diarrhea because it contains nutrients that help bind toxins in the digestive tract and reduce inflammation in the colon.
One study showed that dogs who received marshmallow root showed signs of improvement within 24 hours of treatment compared to those who didn’t receive any treatment at all.

Jehanabad: One person was killed and three others, including a security personnel, were injured in a fresh round of communal violence in this central Bihar town on Friday where tension has prevailed since members of two communities clashed the previous day during a procession for immersion of idols of goddess Durga.
District Magistrate Naveen Kumar confirmed death of one person and wounds received by three others in the latest violence.
Giving details, he said residents of Jakarganj locality attacked Vishnu Yadav and Bittu Kumar in the Gaurakshmi colony early Friday morning, leading to the death of the former at a hospital where the latter who received bullet injury in his leg is undergoing treatment.
The DM said "we have arrested 12 residents of Jakarganj and a number of swords have been recovered from their houses.
"After opening fire, the attackers hurled stones at security personnel who rushed to the spot. One Rapid Action Force commando and a local resident were injured in the incident. They are being treated at a hospital".
Situation is tense, but under control, the DM added. Talking to PTI-Bhasha in Patna, Director General of Police- Gupteshwar Pandey- confirmed the casualty besides
"bullet injury to only one person" which he blamed on "skirmish between anti-social elements which followed opening of fire from one side".
Situation had been brought under control on Thursday itself. The immersion of idols too took place late in the evening. Situation has once again been brought under control after the early morning incident, the DGP said.
Trouble began on Thursday morning when a stone was thrown at the procession being taken out for immersion of idols near the Arwal More. The devotees blamed by-standers belonging to another community for the same after which both sides indulged in heavy stone-pelting which had left 14 people injured.
Several shops in the area were set on fire by the rampaging mobs and the situation was brought under control after prohibitory orders were issued invoking Section 144 of CrPC, heavy deployment of forces was put in place and the DM, besides SP Manish, camped in the area.


- This event has ended.
Recent Bollywood films like Anarkali of Aarah (Avinash Das, 2017), Parched (Leena Yadav, 2015), and Lipstick Under My Burkha (Alankrita Shrivastava, 2016) have raised the bar on feminist work coming out of the industry but have also simultaneously been met with resistance. Lipstick Under My Burkha, in particular, was banned by the Indian Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for sexual explicitness and for being “too lady oriented,” thus sparking a feminist wave of #LipstickRebellion on social media. Professor Siddiqui will examine the film and its reception as a case study for exploring the possibilities and limits of feminist consciousness. She argues that the polysemic and ideologically conflicted dimensions of these new films are a productive site of feminist expression and analysis.

Gohar Siddiqui teaches in the Screen Studies program. Her areas of specialization include remakes, popular Hindi cinema, and transnational feminism. She has previously published in feminist film journals like Jump Cut and is currently working on her book on Bollywood remakes of Hollywood cinema.

By Ambika Khanna* 3D printing (3DP), a critical emerging technology, has come into the limelight in the last decade. Industries such as pharmaceuticals, bio-medicine, aviation and automobiles have rapidly adopted 3D printing. Space agencies such as NASA and India’s ISRO have been using 3DP components in spacecrafts. Its use is becoming so pervasive, that the 3DP industry is expected to grow dramatically from $9.9 billion in 2018 to $42.9 billion by 2025.
However, in spite of its huge potential and significance for the digital economy, there is no global policy on 3DP. While it has mostly escaped relevant regulation in countries such as India, in some countries the regulation is centered only around singular sectors such as medical devices. Now, industries across the board and round the world are looking at 3DP to define the future of technology, and governments must focus their attention on regulating 3DP as a whole, and sector-wise wherever the need arises. This is especially relevant as different countries are at different stages of adoption of 3D technology, greatly varying from sector to sector. The countries leading in the implementation and regulation of 3DP are China, the U.S. and the EU. China, has been working […]

Our year 2015 began with a lot of great and daft ideas which we want to put into action for and with you. We already started with the food swap „Trade Apple for Pear“, and right now, quietly and secretly we work on small and big alterations, actions and surprises.
Right at the beginning of the year, we were surprised by our ranking at the German Food Blog Contest 2015! We are very proud of our first place in the category “Innovation & Lifeblood”, and are really happy to share the podium with three adorable bloggers, namely Lisa, Julia (Liz & Jewels), and Christine (Trickytine). To celebrate this we created a beetroot menu, to which every one of us contributed a recipe and thus, a course. Let’s start with our beetroot salad with lentil sprouts as appetizer. Within the next two days you will find the main course at Trickytine, and Liz & Jewels conjure a sweet beetroot delicacy. Mark our words, it will be a feast! Beet root lovers will have their money’s worth.
Take a seat at our table and let’s drink to further beautiful, exciting, and maybe even raving surprises!
Awesome colours, super easy, and absolutely healthy. Say hello to our winter salad with beetroot and lentil sprouts. Especially in winter, when few fresh vegetables are available, we grow our own sprouts out of grains, seeds, and legumes. It takes prep time, since the lentils need about three days to sprout, but not only the optics and flavours, but also the health benefits are worth the effort. While sprouting, the nutrition levels rise. Lentil sprouts are rich in vitamins of the B group, vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc, and folic acid. We already reported the health benefits of water kefir. For the salad, we prepared a coconut yoghurt with milk kefir, which is, because of the ferment process, rich in healthy lactic acid bacteria and yeast funghi. Together with the beetroot they combine to a perfect vitamin and mineral bomb.
Soak the lentils over night, fill them into a sprouting glass, and keep them in the dark the first day. Wash the legumes three times a day with lukewarm water, and let them sprout in daylight and at room temperature from the second day on.
Wash the beet root thoroughly and bake at 180°C in the oven for about 60-90 minutes.
Meanwhile mix the lemon juice, cider vinegar, and 1 tbs. honey to a dressing, and spice with pepper and sea salt. Put half of the dressing aside. Later, we will marinate the lentils with it. Loose the cardamom seeds from the capsule and grind them. Half the vanilla bean, scratch out the core, and add it with cardamom and coconut kefir to the dressing. (If you put the vanilla bean into a glass with cane or coconut sugar, you’ll get aromatic vanilla sugar.)
Finely chop the shallot and garlic, and braise them in a bit of plant oil. Lightly roast the pumpkin seeds, add the remaining honey, and let the seeds caramelize. Spread them on a sheet of baking paper and let them cool down.
Peel the beet root, quarter or chop in rough pieces, and mix with coconut vinaigrette, garlic, and shallot. Shortly blanch the lentil sprouts and refresh them in cold water, since raw they should be consumed only in small amounts. Drain well, and sprinkle them with the put-aside dressing. Slice the Chioggia beet, and together with the lentil sprouts, miner's lettuce, and caramelized pumpkin seed arrange them on the beet root salad.

Last year, Thanksgiving & Christmas were great! You and your loved ones shared lots of good food, laughter, and fun.
And after dinner came the desserts – pumpkin pie, sweet potato pie, apple pie, two or three types of cake, banana pudding, and more! You ate and ate until you had to undo your pants, lie back and take a lil’ food coma-induced nap.
Yep, it was a good day.
But the day after Thanksgiving? Probably not so good, huh?
Super groggy, terrible headache, and just wanting to stay in bed the entire day – coupled with the overwhelming “obligation” to do it all over again with the leftovers.
I know the feeling as it happened to me too.
I didn’t know what the hell was going on, but all I kept thinking was, “I feel hungover.”
The first thought that popped in my mind was that I had a sugar hangover, but wasn’t sure if that was an actual thing, so I googled it and, sure enough, it WAS!

Nicole Elmblad has career night in Michigan's easy Big Ten women's basketball tournament win
The Michigan women’s basketball team has been a senior-led group all season. On the opening night of the Big Ten tournament, an underclassman stepped up for the Wolverines.
Sophomore guard Nicole Elmblad scored a game-high and career-best 14 points to help No. 5-seeded Michigan cruise to a 67-40 win over No. 12 Indiana Thursday night at Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates, Ill.
Michigan advances to play Michigan State in a quarterfinal at 9:25 p.m. Friday (BTN). The teams split their regular season meetings, with Michigan snapping a 12-game losing streak against the Spartans with a 70-69 win on Feb. 16.
Elmblad, who entered the game averaging 4.1 points, had never led her team in scoring. Her previous career-high was nine points, set earlier this season against both Niagara and Boston University.
The St. Ignace native nearly matched that average in the first 131 seconds of Thursday's game, making a pair of baskets in the Wolverines’ 8-0 start. She finished the night 7-of-10 from the floor while matching her career-high with 10 rebounds (for her first career double-double) and dished out a career-best five assists.
"Obviously I kind of struggled a little bit this year, but ... since a couple of teams have just been sagging off of me and not playing me out deep, we've been working on cuts and places I can get open and get some shots up," Elmblad said. "That's what we've been working on in practice."
Michigan scored the game’s first 12 points and led by as many as 16 in the first half. It extended the advantage to 35 points in the second half.
Michigan (21-9) typically gets the bulk of its offense from its senior class. Kate Thompson (14.9 ppg), Rachel Sheffer (12.8), Jenny Ryan (10.4), Nya Jordan (8.3) and Sam Arnold (5.4) accounted for 84 percent of the Wolverines’ points during the regular season.
They contributed Thursday night, as well.
Sheffer hit 3-pointers on consecutive Michigan possessions to give the Wolverines a 55-30 lead with 10:27 remaining. She finished with 12 points, but
Earlier in the half, Thompson made her only two baskets of the game - both 3-pointers - over a two-minute stretch that saw the Wolverines increase a 31-21 halftime lead to 39-21.
Jordan had game-high totals of 13 points and six assists to go with her eight points.
Sheffer said having another scoring threat on the floor is a good thing for the Wolverines.
"We have complete confidence in (Elmblad) to shoot the ball whenever she wants," Sheffer said. "And I think once we all have the confidence to do it, we can go really far."
Jasmine McGhee led Indiana (11-19) with 12 points.

It’s all over the news, and every American politician (and French) seeking re-election is repeating it: Trump has betrayed the Kurds to Turkey, set ISIS fighters free, and is actively running the U.S. military in a way that benefits only Russia.
The danger with facts everyone knows is that there’s no easy way to convince people they’re wrong. Usually the problem boils down to oversimplification; it’s easy to be wrong when you don’t know anything. In this case, it’s that — plus, everyone’s got a massive axe to grind and Trump’s a great target to score points off.
But some of it’s definitely true, so we’ll start there and move on. (more…)
Make no mistake, ladies and gentlemen: This is war, and we need you.
I have read your learned articles on the healthcare debate. I have reviewed your proposals on climate change and environmental protection. For the many (the most of us) who haven’t written or even linked any of those, I’ve read your angry memes and mocking anti-Trump and anti-Republican posts. I have seen these things, my friends, and in listening, the source of your anger has become apparent, as has the problem’s only solution.
The trouble is, you’re sick of corrupt morons in charge of things, and you’re tired of being treated like an idiot yourself by everyone running for office. Tell me I’m wrong; I dare you. (more…)
In the Mexican state of Sinaloa, a new wave of violence has erupted since the January inauguration of new Governor Quirino Ordaz Coppel, who reportedly is contesting the Sinaloa Cartel‘s exclusive control of the police force.
Meanwhile, in Mindanao, in the southern Philippines, martial law has been declared following armed clashes between the national army and Moro separatists allegedly fighting under the banner of Abu Sayyaf, an ISIS affiliate which funds its activities through the smuggling of guns, drugs, and slaves — much like the Sinaloa Cartel, albeit with a strikingly different ethos.
What do these two conflicts have in common? Among other things, they’re both being largely paid for by the United States. Both sides of both wars are using American dollars to kill each other. (more…)
It’s been half a week since the Inauguration, and I for one am finding it hard to keep up. Eventually, I hope to post an ongoing log of executive actions, signed bills, and other notable events, but for right now it’s still one by one, dealing with the most important things first.
And this is pretty important.

I should have started this with “Spoiler Alert”. ‘Cause nobody’s seen this movie yet.
A couple of days ago, President Obama announced on national television that he was taking executive action about gun violence. He invoked memories of tragedies, from Newtown and Aurora through Ford Hood and San Bernardino, and at one point he broke into tears.
It’s said even Reagan was against every Tom, Dick, and Harry owning an AK-47. And that may well be true; on the other hand, what difference does it make? We should keep this discussion to the essentials, and reduce whatever we can to its core.
There exists a philosophical difficulty with banning “assault rifles”; it can be (more…)

For the most parts, the main details such as the reservations of the venue for the ceremony [church or chapel or a particular venue] and reception, wedding gown and accessories [includes motif, design, where to buy, etc.], catering, budgeting, guest list, invitations, flowers, entourage, bridal car and salon services are always on the top of the list. Minor details such as wedding registry, gifts for the groomsmen and bridesmaids, name cards for the tables, wedding favors, thank you cards and many other small details come next. It is easier to have a wedding planning checklist because you'll be able to track everything, check which is missing from the list and forecast your budget. A wedding is huge investment and every penny counts, so a checklist also provides you a clear picture of how much you will need, how much you can save and how much you need to add if you were able to save for the honeymoon.
The item listed after the budget on the party planning checklist is usually your venue choice. If you are planning to have the party away from home the venue choice will cost money and will come out of your budget and a time will have to be arranged for decorations and so forth. If your party is going to be at home, and you have to hire a professional to come and clean some unwanted stains out of your rug the parties budget will be affected, making it an important listing in your checklist. Of course, if your home needs nothing besides some freshening up you may leave it off your list for now.

Butcher of Paris #1
Dean Kotz (Artist), Troy Peteri (Letters), Stephanie Phillips (Writer), Jason Wordie (Colours)
Dark Horse Comics
December 4, 2019
The Second World War was a time of great horror, but one man decided to take advantage of the despair around him for his own personal, and horrific, gain.
For Jews hoping to escape Nazi-occupied France, Marcel Petiot seemed to be the answer to all their prayers. For 25,000 Francs, Petiot could guarantee them safe passage to Argentina. But these people never made it to Argentina—they never even left Petiot’s home.
In Butcher of Paris, writer Stephanie Phillips reimagines the dark days of Petiot’s “reign” over Paris, as desperate Jews came to his home in the hope of a new life, only to be met with a gruesome death. It’s a story that people should be familiar with, but for those not in the know, it will be a surprise that someone could stoop so low as to harm a group of people who most needed assistance.
What makes this opening chapter of Butcher in Paris particularly hard-hitting is how vividly it showcases the dire circumstances that the Jewish community found themselves in. This is made obvious to readers by the Gestapo officer Jodkum, a deeply cruel man who wantonly abuses his position of power to terrorise the community and the French citizens in his vicinity. We see him hunting down Yvan Dreyfus, a man who has been helping Jews escape France. Jodkum doesn’t just hurl abuses at Yvan and his wife, Paulette. He uses physical force, extorts money from them—money that they don’t even have—steals their home, and then sets Yvan on a mission to uncover the French Resistance.
Power-hungry men like Jodkum not only made life hell for Jewish people, but also for the French people who were trying to keep the peace. One such person was Detective Georges-Victor Gassu, who is essentially the protagonist of Butcher in Paris. We know little of Gassu, as of now, but he is going to play a much bigger role once Petiot’s crimes are revealed. We already get an inkling of how sympathetic a hero Gassu is. Witnessing Jodkum’s violence towards the Dreyfuses, Gassu jumps to their defense, even if it means going up against the vile Jodkum.
As an introduction to the series, this first issue of Butcher in Paris packs in a fair amount. We get to meet Jodkum, the Dreyfuses, Gassu and his son, as well as Petiot. Alongside this host of characters, we learn about life in Nazi-occupied France, the Resistance, and the escape plans for the Jewish community. In other words, this opening issue has to cover a lot of ground. It can be a bit confusing for the reader, especially at first, and I would urge everyone who picks this book up to read the blurb thoroughly as Petiot’s first appearance is brief and could come across as inconsequential.
Though I am a huge fan of reading books based on recommendation alone, it is important to know where this series is headed before reading Butcher in Paris #1 because the plethora of characters can be baffling. By the end of the book, one is certain that this series has a very clear goal and direction, but until then, one can be left wondering about the focus.
What I find most appealing about Butcher in Paris is that it is a combination of three genres that I am fascinated with: World War history, murder mysteries, and true crime thrillers. Do you have to have an interest in all three to enjoy this series? From what I’ve read in this first issue, my answer would be a resounding “no.” I appreciate how writer Phillips has managed to tie the three genres together seamlessly to create one solid story. It definitely appeals to the mysterious-at-heart, but it doesn’t shy away from the hardships faced by those living through World War II. And the true crime element of the story makes it all the more poignant for readers.
I also love the art by Dean Kotz, who has managed to capture the style of the era Butcher in Paris is set in—the 1940s—in his art. It is beautiful and incredibly detailed, and I appreciate how he has created distinguishing features for the massive cast of characters. Kotz’s art is further highlighted by Jason Wordie’s stunning colour work. I love that despite the World War setting, Wordie doesn’t use a muted colour palette. The world seemed dark and bleak at the time, but the colour didn’t actually fade away from it.
For history buffs and murder mystery fans, Butcher in Paris promises to be a riveting read, while also making some strong commentary about the selfishness and selflessness of human beings. I feel this story is going to show us the best and worst of humanity, with plenty of gore and horror along the way. This series will be a fascinating read, though you may have to look at some panels through your fingers.


Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) on the request of Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) has banned advertisements of illegal and unapproved private housing schemes on television channels.
According to Spokesman RDA Hafiz Irfan, all satellite TV channels, all FM radios and all distribution networks had been directed by PEMRA that no advertisement of unapproved and illegal housing schemes located in Rawalpindi district would be aired.
He informed that some 134 schemes and housing projects within the limits of District Council Rawalpindi were unapproved and illegal whereas some 88 illegal and unapproved schemes were operating in RDA’s own limits.
“Similarly, 57 schemes and housing projects are either unapproved or illegal in tehsil Murree while 28 schemes and housing projects are illegal within Tehsil Taxila. Eight housing projects are unapproved and illegal in Tehsil Gujar Khan and three housing projects in limits of Tehsil Kotli Sattian are unapproved and illegal,” the spokesperson added.
He said the director general (DG) of RDA had written letters to PEMRA, State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), National Accountability Bureau (NAB), Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), Overseas Pakistanis Foundation (OPF), Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL), District Collector Rawalpindi, and Commissioner Islamabad requesting them to block the bank accounts and social media accounts of the owners of the illegal housing societies across the district.
The civic body was taking steps against the unauthorised housing schemes following increasing complaints from the citizens as such housing societies had been mushrooming in the district while their owners were also involved advertising their illegal housing societies on TV channels and social media.
He advised the general public not to make any investment in the illegal housing schemes, and warned the owners to immediately stop activities to market their unapproved housing schemes and contact the RDA for getting approval of the schemes otherwise strict legal action would be taken against them.
He said the DG RDA had directed the Metropolitan Planning and Traffic Engineering Directorate to take strict action against unauthorized housing schemes, and close down their construction projects, commercial activities, and booking offices.
