At first blush, the idea of a pot-smoking dog sounds like a joke, a parody from an age where prohibitions are dwindling and pet indulgence is growing. But savvy pet-goods marketers surely know better. After all, as modern America’s humans embraced acupuncture, organic diets, and behavioral medications, they quickly started shelling out for the veterinary variety on behalf of their dogs and cats. It was only a matter of time before medical marijuana—now legal in 23 states and DC—jumped across species to become a treatment option for animals that, just like people, suffer from arthritis, cancer, pain, seizures, and anxiety.
Though they aren’t government-regulated and haven’t been widely studied—and the American Veterinary Medical Association hasn’t taken a stance on the matter—many owners insist the cannabis-based treatments now available for animals alleviate their pets’ ailments when traditional medicine doesn’t.
Mike Mulloney of Elkridge is among them. He got the devastating news about his pit-bull mix, Jake, last July when, after a routine checkup, the dog’s lab results revealed he had an aggressive form of blood cancer called hemangiosarcoma. Jake had a month to live, maybe two, the vet said.
Eight months later, Jake isn’t just alive—Mulloney says he’s still able to enjoy life: “He gets excited to go for walks. Still gets excited when the mailman or the trash man comes, still barks when someone comes to the door.”
Mulloney believes the cannabis supplements he’s given Jake since August, along with a strict nutrition plan, are to thank for sustaining the dog’s quality of life and slowing the cancer’s progress. The supplements, called Canna Companion, were recommended for Jake by holistic veterinarian Scott Sanderson, who practices in Columbia. “People want to use [cannabis] because it works,” says Sanderson.
Not all vets share his enthusiasm.
“We just don’t know enough to be able to safely say whether such products are effective,” says veterinary oncologist Conor McNeill, who practices at the Hope Advanced Veterinary Center in Vienna. Sarah Sheafor, chief of oncology at VCA SouthPaws in Fairfax, emphasizes that the quality of the supplements and how they interact with other medications are untested. Others, such as Leesburg veterinary neurologist David Brewer—who does periodically recommend cannabis-based treatments to patients—place some stock in anecdotal success stories like Mulloney’s.
At least one thing is certain: The pet products on the market differ significantly from the type of marijuana that humans smoke for fun, which is why they’re legal even in places where marijuana is not. Canna Companion and Canna-Pet—both supplements in capsule form—are produced with industrial-grade hemp, a strain of the plant that contains only trace amounts of THC, the substance that gets people high.
To give animals any other form is dangerous and even lethal, says Tina Wismer, medical director of the Poison Control Center at the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. In 2013, her organization fielded 352 calls related to pets ingesting pot. The queries range from comedic (a cat in Illinois lapping up a small, ultimately harmless amount of marijuana-infused lasagna) to serious (a border collie in DC that had to be medicated and rehydrated at the vet after scarfing down a marijuana-laced brownie, especially toxic because of the chocolate).
In contrast, Wismer says the cannabis supplements are unlikely to do any harm, though she does offer a warning: “Issues would arise if the animal ate the entire bottle of pills—which I wouldn’t put past a Labrador.”

There’s nothing like a good photo to bring history back to life. This might explain why we’re so obsessed with fabulous pictures of Israel’s early years, especially the monumental black-and-white type.
One place to satisfy such nostalgic cravings is PhotoHouse, a store and gallery with a super-impressive archive of more than one million photos detailing life in the nascent Jewish state. To add to the general delight, the story behind the Tel Aviv establishment is just as wonderful.
It all started when Rudi Weissenstein arrived in Israel in 1936. Born in Czechoslovakia, Weissenstein served in the army there before studying photography in Vienna and becoming a press photographer.
“He was very Zionist in his ideology, so he left his family, all his fortune and everything and came to Mandatory Palestine with only a press card and a camera,” his grandson Ben Peter recounts.
Once in Israel, he met fellow Czech-born Miriam, who arrived in Tel Aviv with her family at the age of eight in 1921. The two married and Rudi set up the PhotoHouse, a store and archive selling his and his team’s photographs. Some years later Miriam joined, running the business side of things while Rudi continued taking photos.
“He really loved it, he was very passionate about it and very dedicated to it,” Peter says of his grandfather’s love of photography. This passion, he adds, was only matched by Rudi’s love of classical music – and luckily for him, he became the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra’s decades-long photographer.
“Grandma was the boss, it also very much suited her character, she was a very opinionated and domineering type. She ran the store and the employees and continued to do so after his death in 1992.”
The store became a multi-generational enterprise when grandson Ben joined.
“I’m 42, I have a degree in humanities and I never planned on being part of the family business, but life had other plans for me,” he says. “I lost my parents at the age of 26, and about a year later I found myself becoming very attached to my grandmother, who at the time was running PhotoHouse on her own.”
Miriam had pretty much given up on the idea that someone from the family would carry on the business, but after working together with Ben decided he’d be the one to do it. Overall, they spent some seven years working side by side.
Nowadays, the store hosts exhibitions and events and sells high-quality prints of Rudi’s work. And analogue prints, it seems, are hugely popular in our digital age.
“The awareness of photography has very much increased, especially since everyone has good-quality cameras on their phones and is using them,” Ben says. “Because our photographs were created in an analogue way and have a historical, nostalgic and very personal value, the reactions are very emotional.
“Actually, young people who come and take a look become excited, because it sets their imagination on fire,” he adds. “It stirs up in them a kind of a memory that they’ve never experienced.”
Asked if he’d like his own (and still very young) children to carry on the family business, Ben quickly says he’d first of all like for them to do what makes them happy. But, he adds, “I am very proud when they come to me to the store and I’d be happy if it will interest them.”

ORANGE COUNTY, Calif.—Tách Văn Trương walked into the waiting room of a local mental health outpatient clinic, sat down and announced to a stranger in the next chair that he was depressed.
He had been ill since 1983, he continued, adding that his depression keeps him from sleeping and he has few coping options other than physical intimacy.
“I’m sick,” he said, pausing before adding that he is seeking help.
Mental health professional and community volunteer Suzie Dong-Matsuda explained that although mental problems tends to be stigmatized among Vietnamese Americans, she is witnessing an increase in adults in midlife and older who seek help for depression among Vietnamese Americans in Orange County’s Little Saigon.
“They want to get help,” she said, adding that local Vietnamese language radio and mental health professionals are making a difference in the community by educating members about the consequences of not seeking help. “People are much more open to it now.”
“Progressive” Approach to Mental Problems
The community’s openness parallels the “progressive” approach mental health professionals take toward their patients, she continued.
Dong-Matsuda continued that she and other mental health professionals in the community separate the illness from the person. While refraining from calling patients mentally ill or depressed, Dong-Matsuda instead reminds her patients that the illness is only a part of them and can be managed.
“People can still resume responsibility in life,” she said. Dong-Matsuda said she tells her patients they can live with meaningfully, despite their depression. “They can be the person in charge of their experience.”
Dong Matsuda believes that with a doctor’s guidance, her patients should be in charge of their own treatment, allowing for more communication between the doctors and patients. By doing this, she feels her patients are more actively involved in their care and more empowered to manage their symptoms.
She recognizes that her patients in the Little Saigon community are fortunate because of their cultural network. It is difficult for Vietnamese Americans who live in areas without a large community presence to seek help, she said, because they might lack health professionals who speak their language and therefore might not even have opportunities to become educated about depression.
Alternatively, she said, living in a Vietnamese American community does not ensure education about and access to mental health care.
For example, Santa Clara County, an area in Northern California with a substantial Vietnamese population, released a 2011 report titled Status of Vietnamese Health. It shows that only one in three Vietnamese Americans who felt they needed mental health care actually saw a mental health professional.
The Santa Clara study found that the top three reasons for not visiting a mental health professional were: not knowing where to go for treatment, uncertainty surrounding their insurance coverage for treatment, and not being able to afford treatment.
Dong-Matsuda noted that there is a tremendous resilience in the Vietnamese American community. Religions such as Buddhism, Cao Dai, Catholicism and other Christian denominations, as well as spirituality and ancestor worship, are a few of the ways older community members cope with grief.
They also find solace by participating in annual traditions and celebrations, she added, for instance, the tradition of honoring loved ones who have died at yearly anniversaries during the Vietnamese New Year’s Tet Festivals each winter provide seniors with coping mechanisms. Such traditions, she observed, help individuals affirm and validate the Vietnamese culture along with others across generations even in the face of loss.
Unconditional familial support is also connected to the culture and helpful during periods of grief or depression, Dong-Matsuda continued, adding that families financially and emotionally support their members during difficult times.
Dong-Matsuda acknowledged that younger generations of Vietnamese Americans who grew up in the United States tend to draw boundaries between themselves and their families and to some extent even attempt to separate from their ancestral culture.
“This community has been through so much,” she said. “It can take a toll.”

This 7mm. finescale NER Class P3 0-6-0 tender engine 1098 in weathered red lined black livery was built from the Piercy kit. This engine has a high specification including compensation to the tender, full inside working valve gear & a superbly detailed cab. The smoke box door opens revealing a detailed interior & generally the model has a high level of detailing. Whilst the builder & painter are unknown, the locomotive is built, painted & weathered to a very high standard producing a very charismatic model. The locomotive has been through our workshop & a new gearbox has been fitted. The tarpaulin wrap to the cab roof is a little delicate, but otherwise this is a lovely locomotive.

N. Korea's Kim Mentions Need To Prepare For Dialogue, Confrontation With US - State Media
Umer Jamshaid 1 month ago Fri 18th June 2021 | 03:40 AM
MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 18th June, 2021) North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un has outlined Pyongyang's approach toward the United States under the administration of President Joe Biden, stressing the need for both dialogue and confrontation, the state-run Korean Central News Agency reported.
During the third-day sitting of the 3rd Plenary Meeting of the 8th Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) on Thursday, Kim provided a detailed analysis of the news US administration's policy toward North Korea, while also outlining Pyongyang's strategic and tactical countermeasures.
On May 21, Biden and South Korean President Moon Jae-in held a summit in Washington, where they discussed the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula and coordination on the issue of North Korea. Biden said he would be willing to hold a meeting with the North Korean leader if Pyongyang commits itself to denuclearization.

“Well, today’s show is the last for me,” he tweeted. “For how long, I don’t know. But I sure had fun.”
Because Rogers has been appearing on Y&R and GH at the same time recently, a fan inquired which soap he was referring to, and he admitted the news was the same for both.
“Remember this,” he added. “The character is still in town, he hasn’t left. So the chances of his being re-included in a storyline are quite good.”
Again, Rogers confirmed he was referring to both Colin and Robert as far as their future story prospects. Considering that Colin recently chose his marriage to Jill over extorting a million dollars out of Jack, he certainly could have a future in Genoa City. And with Finola Hughes on her way back to GH, it would be a shame if Robert didn’t put in an appearance!

Demonetization: DDC Kathua Meets Bankers17 November, 2016, By Cross Town News
KATHUA, NOVEMBER 17: District Development Commissioner (DDC) Kathua Ramesh Kumar today convened a meeting with representatives of various banks to raise awareness about demonetization among people.
During the meeting, the DDC said that adequate steps should be taken to make people aware demonetization. The DDC also suggested that it is important that banks would open a separate counter to address queries of customers.
He also asked banks to tighten their security in and around ATMs and banks. He said both must be sufficiently secured as people are coming in big numbers to booths and counters to either deposit or to exchange their old Rs 500, and Rs 1000 notes.
He added that it is important for all banks to refill the ATMs from time to time so that people do not face any difficulty in withdrawing their cash.
The DDC also impressed upon the officers of different departments to educate people of their respective areas. He said that people should be advised that they have ample time to deposit or to change their currency.
Meanwhile, Mr. Kumar also suggested putting up flexes in front of banks to spread awareness among people.

In its relentless search for new sources of revenue, the Cal athletic department has gone to a place where cash is neither cold nor hard.
The Bears announced on Monday a sponsorship agreement with FTX, a cryptocurrency exchange regulated in the United States that will receive naming rights to the field at Memorial Stadium.
The deal marks the first sponsorship agreement between a college athletic department and a cryptocurrency exchange, according to the university.
The name FTX Field at California Memorial Stadium will be worth $17.5 million over 10 years to the Bears.
The agreement was brokered by Learfield, Cal’s multimedia rights partner. FTX will use cryptocurrency to pay Learfield, which will then make annual payments to Cal in cash.
Cal has no plans to accept crypto payments at this point but, according to the university, “will consider how it can introduce it when the time is right.”
“We believe we have found a great partner in FTX,” Cal athletic director Jim Knowlton said in a release. “FTX is a growing company at the forefront of innovation in an emerging technology, one that fits well at both Cal and in the Bay Area.
“This agreement extends well beyond field naming rights, which is part of our strategic plan to diversify revenue streams in support of our student-athlete experience.”
FTX had a connection to Cal through its chief operating officer, Sina Nader, who played defensive end for the Bears 20 years ago.
As part of the deal, FTX will provide support to Cal’s Cameron Institute for Student-Athlete Development. It also will donate $200,000 to fight homelessness in Berkeley and support “organizations that help underrepresented student groups at UC Berkeley,” Nader explained.
The Bears reported a $3.2 million surplus in the 2020 fiscal year, thanks to $25 million in support from central campus. The budget includes an $8.5 million annual payment on the Memorial Stadium renovation.
Cal isn’t the only athletic department in the Pac-12 to follow unconventional paths to new revenue streams.
Last summer, Colorado announced a multi-year sponsorship with PointsBet, a global gaming operator. The deal is reportedly worth $1.6 million to CU over five years.
FTX, which was founded in 2019, has been making a push into the sports world.
It recently won the naming rights to the Miami Heat’s arena and has a deal with Tom Brady, who reportedly owns an undisclosed stake in the company.
It’s the second naming rights sponsorship for the field at Memorial Stadium, which was named Kabam Field from 2014-16.

Madonna says the Duchess of Windsor was victim of a 'lynch mob'
Madonna, who is making a film about the Duchess of Windsor, says Nazi slurs about Wallis Simpson were unfair.
Madonna's hopes of enlisting the Queen's support for a film that she is making about the Edward VIII abdication crisis are unlikely to be helped by inflammatory claims she has made about Wallis Simpson.
"People have accused Wallis of all kinds of things," she says of her fellow American. "They've said that she put a spell on Edward. They've said that she was a hermaphrodite and that he was gay. They've said they were Nazi sympathisers.
"It's just the usual lynch mob mentality that descends upon somebody who has something that lots of other people don't have."
The admiration for Hitler of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, as they became, concerned the government, particularly after he entertained them in 1937.
Mandrake reported in March that Madonna would ask the Queen for filming on W. E. to be allowed in royal palaces. "Madonna is keen to make the film as authentic as possible and would be very grateful if we are allowed to film at certain locations," said one of her associates. "She loves the UK and holds your Queen in the highest regard."
Madonna, who lived in Sir Cecil Beaton's former house in Dorset during her seven-year marriage to the British director Guy Ritchie, plans to start shooting the film this summer.
The singer has long been fascinated by the 1936 crisis, in which Edward VIII's desire to marry Wallis Simpson, a twice-divorced American socialite, caused a constitutional dilemma.
The crisis was resolved by Edward's abdication and his succession by his brother, George VI, who was the Queen's father. Edward was given the title the Duke of Windsor and he married Mrs Simpson.

For 25 years, Charles Ramsey has envisioned building an engine that is simpler, cheaper and more efficient than those powering today`s automobiles, and his dream may be coming true.
Ramsey, who runs a business machine rental firm in Dunkirk, Ind., designed his first two-stroke engine as part of a class project when he was in high school. The idea, which features a two-sided, double-piston arrangement with a moveable cannister piston outside a stationary inner piston, nagged at Ramsey until he finally built a prototype.
Over the years, the RAM-Z engine, as he calls it, has undergone modifications and now exists as the fourth prototype built by Ramsey on a 90- year-old lathe in his garage.
In the last year, Ramsey has moved out of his status as merely a hobbyist inventor and has attracted serious attention to the RAM-Z. That attention began when Ramsey was invited by the U.S. Patent Office to display his prototype engine at a meeting of inventors in Washington.
It continued with Ramsey`s selection as an entrepreneur-in-residence at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute. In that program, which is intended to give students a taste of working on real projects, Ramsey and his students have further refined the RAM-Z design.
In March, the RAM-Z was put on display at the Design Engineer Show at McCormick Place, which attracted nearly 30,000 engineers. It was one of 10 design innovations highlighted at the show by Design News, a magazine for engineers.
Getting his engine into production will mean several more tests and at least a dozen prototypes, said Ramsey, who has applied to an Indiana state program for funding.
If funding is forthcoming, the RAM-Z could be produced in a finely machined version that would give a true test of the concept`s worth, Ramsey said.
Even in his homemade version, which cost about $800 in parts to build, Ramsey`s engine has produced 16 horsepower with a top engine speed of 5,400 revolutions a minute. It achieved an efficiency rating of more than 21 percent, which compares well to the 25 percent efficiency common to standard engines.
Ramsey`s design eliminates the camshaft, lifters, push rods and conventional valves from the standard engine. That makes for a lighter engine with only about one-third as many moving parts.
The first uses for a commercially available RAM-Z probably would be for operating boats or lawnmowers or other functions requiring small engines.
''We`d want to find uses that would be easiest to get into,'' Ramsey said.
His ultimate goal remains getting the RAM-Z into an automobile, but that would have to follow commercial success with smaller engines.
''You`d have to design a whole new automobile to use my engine,'' Ramsey said. ''Ideally, you would put the engine midway back in the car rather than in the front or the back. This engine would be small enough to do that. It would allow you to trim several hundred pounds off the weight of the car and design it to better accommodate the passengers.''
Whatever the future of the RAM-Z as a commercial venture, it has already been warmly received at Rose-Hulman as a valuable teaching tool.
''Students are being given the opportunity to design parts, to test and develop marketing strategies for a new combustion engine,'' said Wayne Sanders, the faculty member who coordinates the program.
''That is a unique opportunity for a college student. Our students want to work in a real-world engineering environment and that is exactly what this program provides.''

So today my family celebrated the Resurrection of Christ by going to the race track and betting on the ponies. Not too long after we got there we noticed that the elderly woman next to us had either passed out or died. Our curiosity got the best of us and we decided to poke her with a fork to see if she would move. She didn't, so we took the betting slip out of her hand and collected the five bucks she won.
I was working at the barber shop. We cut lots of kids.
One morning I was enjoying my favorite hobby (smoking) and I heard the tenants next door walking towards me.

That's not surprising. While there are fecaphiles??, there aren't

Background: Possession of one or more apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 alleles may influence the distribution of atrophy and clinical phenotype. We aimed to assess the influence of APOE genotype on cortical thickness and regional brain volumes in AD (Alzheimer’s disease). Methods: We included 38 patients (9 ε4 non-carriers, 23 ε4 heterozygotes, 6 ε4 homozygotes) and 23 controls. Each subject had 2 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and a neuropsychological battery. Cortical thickness and isthmus cingulate volume were measured using FreeSurfer; the volumes of the hippocampus, whole brain, and lateral ventricles were calculated using manual and semi-automated volumetry. Results: Compared with controls, cortical thickness was significantly lower: in the bilateral temporal, posterior parietal and occipital regions in non-carriers, in the medial temporal and left parietal regions in heterozygotes, and in the medial temporal lobe in homozygotes. Comparisons between AD subgroups did not show significant differences. A trend for larger brain and isthmus cingulate volumes and smaller hippocampal and ventricular volumes with increasing ε4 dose were seen. These differences were supported by neuropsychological profiles. Conclusion: These results suggest that APOE genotype may influence the topography of regional atrophy and cortical thinning in AD.

This season marks the fourth year of the OMHA Coach of the Month presented by The Coaches Site. We asked for nominations of deserving coaches and after much deliberation, Kyle Raymond of the Tecumseh-Shoreline Tier 1 U9 team was selected as the Coach of the Month for November.
Here's his story as told by his nomination:
Coach Kyle has contributed his time, effort and knowledge to this age group. Not only are players developing their skills and building chemistry on the ice, they're forging friendships off the ice that will last a lifetime. Coach Kyle sends a clear message of discipline to his players that reminds them they're representing the emblem on the front of their jersey as well as the name on the back of it. He expects his players to open doors for others in the community and set an example of what a Tecumseh Eagle should be.
Coach Kyle is currently working on getting the U9 Eagles involved in a community endeavour called Snow & Leaf Angels. This is a volunteer service that identifies and provides aid to members of our community who are either senior residents or have physical disabilities. As a parent group, we are thankful to have Coach Kyle mentoring our children and hope the players will continue to pay forward the valuable life lessons hockey is teaching them.

The best people in any field are those who devote the most hours to what the researchers call "deliberate practice." It's activity that's explicitly intended to improve performance, that reaches for objectives just beyond one's level of competence, provides feedback on results and involves high levels of repetition.
2. Interview With Bruce Berkowitz (give your thanks once again to Joe)
I was extremely surprised that anyone would invest simply on a level of trust. I believe in “trust but verify.” [Editor's note: I like that phrase] Even businesses that might seem to operate simply on trust really employ a level of verification. For example, in the Diamond District in New York, millions of dollars may appear to change hands simply on the basis of a handshake. But, behind the scenes, there is a careful evaluation of the diamonds that were just sold. Those transactions take place at a single point in time and, if something goes wrong, the participants will never do another transaction. In Madoff’s case, investors continued to put money in over many years, without any verification.
3. " What Would Sir John Say?"
Now, with well over 100 independent nations on earth and rapid advances in communication, people with superior educational backgrounds are likely to progress more rapidly than others. These people with more advanced education are likely to be true innovators.
Comparisons show that prosperity flows toward those nations having the greatest freedom of competition. Especially, electronics and computers are likely to become helpful in all human activities, including even helping persons who have not yet learned to read.
Hopefully, many of you can help us to find published journals and websites and electronic search engines to help us benefit from accelerating research and discoveries.
Not yet have I found any better method to prosper during the future financial chaos, which is likely to last many years, than to keep your net worth in shares in those corporations, which have proven to have the widest profit margins and the most rapidly increasing profits. Earning power is likely to continue to be valuable, especially if diversified among many nations.

24th March is observed as World TB Day.
Message from Dr Marcos Espinal,Executive Secretary, Stop TB Partnership
On World TB Day I salute the 553 international organizations, donors from the public and private sectors, governmental and nongovernmental organizations, civil society members and individuals that now form the Stop TB Partnership as well as countries for your incredible contributions to the fight against TB.
Tuberculosis remains a massive public health problem around the world, despite recent progress. Last year there were 8.8 million new TB cases and 1.6 million deaths from TB, many of them among people living with HIV/AIDS. And at present, XDR-TB, or extensively drug resistant tuberculosis, represents a threat to the entire world. Our best weapon is to implement the Global Plan to Stop TB, but the plan faces a funding gap of US$30 billion. Our arsenal of medicines to treat TB is more than three decades old. We need new drugs to fight this deadly scourge. And we need better diagnostic tests, especially in the face of XDR-TB, as well as new vaccines.
In the millennium year, 2000, the Stop TB Partnership was formed to realize the goal of eliminating TB as a public health problem and, ultimately, to obtain a world free of TB. This year, for the first time it appears that despite the challenges the disease is leveling off. This gain is strictly due to your combined efforts.

What to Say to a Porcupine
July 11, 2008
This cute, recently published, little book came to my attention the other day when a company called in to place an order for books to give to their staff. I was taken aback by the title and wondered what kind of a book this was, until that is I pulled it up on our website and found out that the subtitle was: 20 Humorous Tales that Get to the Heart of Great Customer Service. What to Say to a Porcupine is a book that contains twenty different tales all centering around customer service and it offers topics for group (or single) discussion at the end of each fable.
What to Say to a Porcupine is a book that contains twenty different tales all centering around customer service and it offers topics for group (or single) discussion at the end of each fable. Some chapters include: My Big Fat Greek Chorus, Chilly Willy, The Knight Shift, Going to the Dogs and Sloth is Not a Vice.
Richard S. Gallagher, the author of all these little vignettes, has created such a great way to emphasize the fact that customer service is so important to companies and great service makes everything run more smoothly, intelligently, etc. In fact, What to Say to a Porcupine ends with the Gallagher saying that customer service is more than just another fable.
This book is great for any company that needs a little kick-start or even a reminder of how customer service should be like. It's thought-provoking in a very interesting way! I hope when you get a copy - or even copies for your whole staff - you'll enjoy it!
Have a GREAT weekend!!

|The apple smoked pork chops are ready|
Sometimes our family has a “Chopped” dinner. You know the show “Chopped” where the contestants have to make an appetizer, entree’ or dessert from the ingredients in the mystery baskets? Well, my wife and kids pick four ingredients at the grocery store without telling me what they are in advance, bring them home and my challenge is to dinner must be made from these four ingredients. It’s fun challenge and since everyone must actually eat whatever I cook, stuff the normally befuddle the Chopped contestants like sea urchin roe or lamb brains never show up in the mystery basket.
One evening, the mystery ingredients were cherries, ham, okra, and pistachios. I figured a cherrird would taste good on the ham, so I whipped up a cherry sauce. As we ate dinner, I’m thinking, this sauce would taste even better on some smoked pork chops.
So the Cherry Balsamic Sauce recipe below is based on that summer evening of improvising a sauce from a bag of fresh cherries on Chopped night. Use fresh cherries in season if you can get them, but frozen cherries work too. Feel free to play around a bit with the levels of sweetness, spiciness, and saltiness of the sauce and tweak it to your liking.
For smoking the pork chops, I use thicker chops and put them edge down on the grill, maximizing the surface area to capture the smoke flavors. Apple wood works for me here, but you could use also cherry, pecan or another lighter fruity wood. In my opinion hickory or mesquite smoke would be a little too strong. Smoking the chops indirectly at 300-350 degrees on my Weber gas grill for roughly 45 minutes, I get a pretty juicy pork chop.
I’m a beer guy, but if you ask my, smoked pork chops with cherry balsamic sauce spooned on top scream out for a good glass of Pinot. Enjoy!
Cherry Balsamic Sauce
1 cup pitted fresh cherries ( 1 1/4 cup frozen cherries)
1 cup water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
pinch of cayenne pepper
Bring the ingredients to a simmer on a stove top reducing it to a syrup. Spoon over four 1/2 pound pork chops smoked with apple, cherry, or pecan wood at 300-500 degrees for approximately 45 minutes and serve.

- Burger King has teamed with star DJ and music producer Steve Aoki to remix a Whopper jingle that has taken the web by storm, per details shared with Marketing Dive.
- The QSR chain and musician, in partnership with Paramount Brand Studio, are putting a fresh spin on the viral earworm as a part of Burger King’s sponsorship of the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) airing Sept. 12. Burger King has sponsored the show for the past 4 years and regularly collaborated with high-profile artists for the occasion.
- Burger King on Thursday released a teaser and album artwork for the song, while the complete version will go continue to exist its official Spotify channel and as an audio clip for TikTok on Sept. 12. At the VMAs, Burger King and Aoki may also release a music video because the marketer tries to extend the recognition of a jingle that has boosted brand favorability and sales.
Burger King is trying to extend the shelf life of one in all its most noteworthy marketing successes in recent memory through a collaboration with Steve Aoki across the VMAs. A teaser video shows Aoki fiddling with his music equipment because the dance-friendly remix starts to take shape.
The “Whopper, Whopper” jingle, originally attached to an ad that debuted in October, is replete with repetitive lyrics describing the signature menu offering, an earwormy quality that led its popularity to skyrocket on social media and captivate meme culture. A version of the track available on Spotify has been streamed greater than 7 million times while the associated commercials made a powerful splash across the last NFL season thanks to strategic media buys from agency partner PHD. Burger King’s larger “You Rule” creative platform was developed with creative agency of record OKRP and is a component of a “Reclaim the Flame” revitalization plan that features a hefty promoting investment.
“Whopper, Whopper,” which nods to Burger King’s “Have It Your Way” ads from the ‘70s, has been a win beyond web buzz. Burger King has been on a sales tear this 12 months, with the Whopper experiencing growth following a fallow period for the chain. The Restaurant Brands International-owned company has seen its brand value increase 8% year-over-year to reach $7.7 billion, according to the most recent Kantar BrandZ evaluation. A bottom-line impact contrasts with past Burger King marketing that scored promoting industry accolades but didn’t at all times move the needle on the business front.
Burger King is hoping it may well extend the present hot streak, though replicating the unique “Whopper, Whopper” phenomenon can be a challenge. The marketer is leaning on its ongoing sponsorship of the VMAs to boost awareness for the brand new track and music video with Aoki, along with sharing a promotional offer with consumers. Members of its loyalty program, called Royal Perks, will see no delivery fees on orders of $5 or more placed via its app or website on Sept. 12.
Other marketers are ramping up their VMA activity ahead of Tuesday’s broadcast. Pepsi this week said it could re-release past music-video commercials featuring acts like Madonna and Britney Spears for the event, a part of a media blitz across the soft drink marketer’s one hundred and twenty fifth anniversary that leans heavily on nostalgia.

This comes after Messi was at his brilliant best against Australia in Argentina’s Round of 16 game. He scored a goal, inspiring La Albiceleste to a 2-1 victory to progress to the quarter-finals.
The playmaker has been sensational throughout this edition of the FIFA World Cup, leading Argentina with three goals and an assist. When asked about how the team would adjust to opponent teams individually marking Messi, Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni said:
“The individual marking to Messi? We will see tomorrow what happens on the pitch. We are used to our opponents coming up with something different. We don’t want to go to forgone conclusions. Even we can implement some changes in the technical side.”
Argentina are set to face the Netherlands on Friday (December 9) in the 2022 FIFA World Cup quarter-finals. Mac Allister had this to say about the Oranje manager Louis van Gaal:
“We know he is a top coach, world renowned. All his teams have different variations but with a clear idea. We will try to do our best in order to win.”
It remains to be seen if Messi’s dominant outings can help Argentina lift the third FIFA World Cup in their nation’s history.
Sergio Aguero’s Twitch stream joined by Lionel Messi ahead of FIFA World Cup match
Messi and his Argentina teammates took some time off their preparations ahead of their FIFA World Cup quarter-final match-up against the Netherlands. They joined retired striker Sergio Aguero’s Twitch stream.
Aguero and Messi, who are close friends, had a wholesome chat as Leandro Paredes, Rodrigo De Paul and Papu Gomez joined.
The former Manchester City striker, who retired after being diagnosed with heart arrythmia, spoke on the streaming platform with Messi on a variety of topics. The most heart-warming moment came when Aguero asked about Messi’s room to which he replied:
“I’m in our room.”
Kun: “Where you guys are?”
Messi: “In our room.”
Kun: “In Our?”
All in all, it was a very entertaining chat, which ended with the PSG man saying:
“Thank you for calling us, We love you. You are not here with us, but we’re remembering you everyday, you and Gio (Lo Celso). I want to greet all the people who watched us, bye.”
If Argentina beat the Netherlands on Friday, they will face either Brazil or Croatia in the semi-finals.

In a surprise move, Microsoft is upgrading the ‘Administrative Tools’ folder in Windows 10 21H2 by adding many more tools to the collection.
With Windows 10 Preview Build 21354, Microsoft is replacing the ‘Administrative Tools’ with a new “Windows Tools” control panel applet which contains many more tools.
Microsoft is also moving shortcuts such as ‘Windows System’, ‘Windows Accessories’, and ‘Windows PowerShell’ into the Windows Tools control panel.
The move is unexpected, as Microsoft has been working on moving tools from the Control Panel to the Modern Settings, but we assume actual network admins demand a higher density than Modern Settings can provide. The new applet can be launched by the control admintools command from the command prompt.
Microsoft has been slowly deprecating the Control Panel and was expected to install a redirect soon which would send those searching for the Control Panel to Modern Settings. This new move suggests the Control Panel may live to fight another day.

Tokyo: On Tuesday, former employee at a care centre for the mentally disabled in Japan, killed 19 people and injured more than 25 here. It is considered to be one of the worst mass killings in the past decades.
Also, the attacker identified as 26-year-old Satoshi Uemastu, after committing the crime, surrendered before the police and said, ‘I did it.’ He further went on to say, “The disabled should all disappear.”
Satoshi worked in the centre and was removed from his job in February. Ever since then he held grudge against the centre wanted to take revenge for the same.
As per reports, the attack began early in the morning when Satoshi entered the building by breaking the window. Following this he tied up the care takers and then began stabbing the residents.
The victims suffered deep stab wounds, as confirmed by a doctor.
The entire area around the hospital was cordoned off by the police officials and ambulance, fire tenders were rushed to the site.
Out of the deceased, nine were men and 10 women.
US termed the act a senseless one as it took place at a facility centre for the disabled.

The top share index fell on Wednesday, after downbeat data from China, Europe and the United States darkened the outlook for global growth and corporate earnings.
London's blue-chip index <.FTSE> closed at its lowest level since October 6, falling 67.04 points, or 1.3 percent, to 5,291.26.
The index has now fallen 7.3 percent in November as worries have grown that Europe's debt crisis could be terminal for the euro and would damage corporate earnings.
According to Thomson Reuters data earnings momentum -- analysts' upgrades minus downgrades as a percentage of total estimates -- for FTSE 100 companies is -8.3 percent, versus -10.8 percent a month ago.
Mining and integrated oil stocks were among the worst performers, as commodity prices fell after weak data from China and in Europe pointed to a softening in demand.
HSBC's preliminary China manufacturing survey fell to a 32-month low in November, while euro zone industrial new orders tumbled by the most in almost 3 years.
In the United States, consumer spending barely rose in October and initial claims for U.S. unemployment benefit rose slightly last week.
And while new orders for a range of long-lasting U.S. manufactured goods unexpectedly rose in October, sharp downward revisions to the prior month's data and weak spending plans by businesses suggested manufacturing was taking a breather.
Against this weaker backdrop, the focus was firmly on those companies reporting earnings.
Financials <.SXIP>, which have big exposure to the European debt crisis, were weaker as Fitch Ratings warned France had limited room to absorb any new shocks to its public finances without endangering its cherished AAA credit rating.
The Fitch analysis followed reports, denied by France, that a restructuring deal for Franco-Belgian bank Dexia DEXI.BR might have to be renegotiated.
Bank of England policymakers said the chances of a worst-case outcome for the euro zone crisis had increased over the past month, and were split on the likelihood of a further increase to its quantitative easing programme.
Germany blamed heightened nerves among investors when its debt agency was forced to retain a huge portion of a new 10-year Bund issue as bids fell short.
Is this the start of German credit erosion, the point at which Germany finds out that it is the only first class passenger on the Titanic? RBS said in a note.

General Motors announced its second quarter earnings, Thursday, and the company begins to estimate the soaring costs of its recall nightmare. GM's net income fell more than 80 percent from the same time period a year ago. The automaker is reporting income of only $190 million, because it is saying the massive recalls are costing the company $1.2 billion.
In its earning statement, GM also estimates that it needs $400 million to compensate victims for accidents involving the deadly ignition switches. According to the written statement "There is no cap on this program, but this is the company's best estimate of the amounts to be paid to claimants." The press release adds that the costs for the ignition switch compensation program could climb by another $200 million, depending on how many families file claims.
This is the first time that the auto giant has given specific estimates concerning the costs surrounding the recall of nearly 30 million vehicles. Just Wednesday, GM issued six new recalls.
The faulty ignition switches are tied to at least 13 deaths. The company has come under intense scrutiny after it was discovered that some of the engineers were aware of the defect for at least a decade. New CEO Mary Barra has been grilled by congressional leaders, about the company's failure to take action more quickly.
In Thursday's written release, CEO Mary Barra said "We remain focused on keeping our customers at the center of all we do, and executing our plan to operate profitably in every region of the world."
The investigation that triggered the initial recalls determined that the faulty ignition switches could turn the vehicles off while moving leading to accidents. Compounding the problem, in some cases the faulty switches deactivated the vehicles' airbags, increasing the danger for the passengers. Originally, Chevrolet Cobalts, Saturn Ions and Pontiac G5s were recalled, but the company has since expanded the recalls to countless other vehicles.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information on all of the vehicles affected.
The ignition switch compensation program is being administered by an outsider, Kenneth Feinberg.

Evacuation centres open in Kingaroy and MurgonBy Frances Adcock, Tuesday February 26, 2013 - 17:14 EDT
Residents in low-lying parts of Queensland's South Burnett region, west of Gympie, are being advised to move to evacuation centres.
Centres have been set up in Kingaroy and Murgon for residents in flood-prone areas, with concern localised flooding will grow worse over the next day or so.
People living on Silverleaf and Byee Roads near Murgon have been evacuated this afternoon.
South Burnett Mayor Wayne Kratzmann says conditions will not ease any time soon.
"We are just concerned about what water hasn't come down yet there's been large falls in the Bunya Mountain catchment area, and that's always a danger time for us," he said.
More than 40 roads remain cut across Kingaroy, Murgon, Cherbourg and Nanango.

Desert Water Agency to hold candidate information forums July 25 and July 26
Desert Water Agency, which manages water in the western Coachella Valley, will host two candidate workshops next week for people interested in serving on the agency's board of directors.
Voters will elect three board members on Nov. 8, as DWA finalizes its transition from at-large elections to election-by-division.
The two candidate workshops will be held July 25 at noon at the Desert Hot Springs Library, 14380 Palm Drive, Desert Hot Springs (lunch provided) and July 26 at 8 a.m. at DWA’s office, 1200 S. Gene Autry Trail, Palm Springs (breakfast provided).
An RSVP is required for a headcount for meals. E-mail RSVP to email@example.com
At the workshops, background information will be provided on DWA and what serving on the board entails. Information on running for office and the nomination period, which runs until Aug. 12, also will be shared.
"Public service can be very rewarding and is a great opportunity for people who want to get involved in their community," DWA said. "DWA Board of Directors set policy and make important decisions that affect customers and the community."
Desert Water Agency is a public, not-for-profit agency and a State Water Contractor, serving a 325-square-mile area, including parts of Cathedral City, outlying county areas, Desert Hot Springs and Palm Springs. The elected five-member board sets policy and represents ratepayers.
Directors receive payment each day they attend an approved meeting for DWA and can opt into health care and other benefits. Board seats in Divisions 1, 2 and 3 are up for election. Voters must live in a division to cast a ballot for a candidate there.
Division 1 encompasses neighborhoods in Palm Springs north of Vista Chino and stretches into north Palm Springs and areas surrounding Desert Hot Springs. Division 2 and 3 include portions of Desert Hot Springs.
DWA provides tap water to Palm Springs and portions of Cathedral City. It does not provide tap water in Desert Hot Springs but imports and manages water in the region, which is used there. For more information about divisions, go to www.dwa.org/divisions
