text: As hospitals and medical schools confronted coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), medical students were essentially restricted from all clinical work in an effort to prioritize their safety and the safety of others. One downstream effect of this decision was that students were designated as nonessential, in contrast to other members of health care teams. As we acclimate to our new clinical environment and medical students return to the frontlines of health care, we advocate for medical students to be reconsidered as physicians-in-training who bring valuable skills to patient care and to maintain their status as valued team members despite surges in COVID-19 or future pandemics. In addition to the contributions students provide to medical teams, they also serve to benefit from the formative experiences of caring for patients during a pandemic rather than being relegated to the sidelines. In this commentary, we discuss factors that led to students' being excluded from this pandemic despite being required at the bedside during prior U.S. public health crises this past century, and we review educational principles that support maintaining students in clinical environments during this and future pandemics.

The Heart Foundation has responded to feedback on its latest public awareness campaign, “Heartless Words”, and today announced that the campaign advertisements will no longer run in their current form across media and social media channels.
“To all the people who have been offended by our campaign, we apologise, and to all those who provided their feedback, we have listened,” said chairman of the Heart Foundation Board, Mr Chris Leptos.
“We tried to take a bold and emotive approach. We misjudged it. We had never intended to further hurt people already struggling with heart disease, or to further pain loved ones who have lost people to heart disease. It is clear, however, that many people feel we did both of those things.
“To all of those people, we say a heartfelt ‘Sorry’. Helping to relieve the suffering caused by heart disease is at the centre of everything we do. This campaign was devised with the best of intentions – to save lives – but it has had an unforeseen impact.”
The campaign used an emotional appeal to deliver the message that when we neglect our own hearts, we risk breaking the hearts of those who love us. The campaign was designed to convince people to have a Heart Health Check.
Heart disease is largely preventable. Most heart attacks are caused by high blood pressure, high cholesterol and lifestyle factors. It is estimated that if all Australians at risk had a Medicare-funded Heart Health Check over the next five years, up to 76,500 hearts attacks and strokes, and up to 9,100 deaths, could be prevented.
A new Heart Foundation campaign will be coming soon.

Food allergies and intolerances are growing health concerns in the UK. In serious cases, they can be fatal or lead to long-term health conditions. This was demonstrated last year when a teenager from Lancashire tragically died from acute asthma due to a nut allergy, after eating food from a local takeaway. It has recently been announced that the owners will be charged with manslaughter and failing to comply with EU provision concerning food safety and hygiene.
According to the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH), every year in the UK, 5,000 of the 2 million people living with food allergies need hospital treatment for severe allergic reactions and, on average, 10 people die from food-induced anaphylaxis.
Since 2014, food businesses have been legally required to inform customers that allergen information is available. In addition, the business must be able to inform the customer if any of the specified allergens are present in the dishes served.
If you are a food business selling loose food, you must provide information about 14 allergens – if used as an ingredient in the food you are providing or selling. You can do this on a menu, chalkboard, website or orally, but you must point out and emphasise this information to your customers.
If you sell prepacked foods, the ingredients list must have the allergen present highlighted.
Peter Christopher–Ohrt, Managing Director Technical Services, Food Alert Ltd, concludes: “Food businesses must be aware of the significant risk that arises from allergens – it is one of the major causes of deaths from food. It is imperative that they inform customers that allergen information is available and must be in a position to provide accurate information regarding the 14 specified allergens.”
“It is really important that new dishes and menus are analysed before they are served, and that staff are provided with frequent refreshers.”
“At Food Alert, we assist our clients by providing classroom and online training. In addition we provide an online allergen control system on our FACT safety management system, as well as a more simplified manual system. To ensure the procedures are operating correctly, we also carry out audits for our clients.”
For further information on dealing with allergens within your business, or if you are a customer, contact our Advice Line or call us on 020 7244 1900 or email email@example.com

11 Jul Mindfulness at Work
We hear from our friends and clients that they want to be more mindful, but what does this actually mean?
First, let’s define our environment. We don’t need to look far to see the stressors of modern life. It comes in many forms, whether in feeling tethered to our smartphones, pressured to succeed, social comparison, or the struggles of balancing personal life and career. The mindfulness revolution in healthcare and our culture at large helps to provide some time-tested skills to assuage modern maladies. A growing body of research supports the idea that implementing mindfulness techniques throughout our day can improve our ability to manage stressors and resulting anxiety and depression (Hoffman et al., 2010). In fact, studies tell us that practicing mindfulness techniques can help boost relationships and enhance focus, attention, and mental flexibility (Barnes et al., 2007; Moore and Malinowski, 2009). Who wouldn’t want all that? By learning mindfulness skills and applying them to our work routine, we can better manage stressors and thrive in the workplace.
As behavioral health practitioners, we view mindfulness as both a philosophy and a set of tools to help regulate our nervous system. The philosophy of mindfulness reminds us that we can only manage the present moment and that we function and learn best when we focus on one thing at a time. It also reminds us of the importance of cultivating love and respect for ourselves and others. By learning how to use the mindfulness toolkit to regulate our nervous systems, we can reduce physical and emotional discomfort so we can intentionally focus on our goals and values. Jon Kabat-Zinn, one of the most influential mindfulness ambassadors, defines mindfulness as “awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgmentally…it’s about knowing what is on your mind.” (Mindful, 2017)
We find that many barriers to practicing mindfulness include people’s expectations and lack of exposure. Let’s begin with what mindfulness isn’t. It isn’t a cure-all for maladies, it doesn’t brainwash us into ignoring our problems with false positive thinking, and it doesn’t take time away from our work day. In fact, giving ourselves time to slow down and use mindfulness skills can improve our efficiency by calming the nervous system and improving task prioritization.
There are many ways you can implement a mindfulness practice at work – even while you’re sitting at your desk, in a meeting, or giving a presentation. However, an easy way to get started is by implementing these skills at transition times throughout your day (e.g. before work, at breaks, after lunch, before going home, and before going to bed). Below is a selection of our favorite mindfulness tools.
Grounding This technique requires you to pay attention to your body in the space around you. Try it now while sitting. Make sure both feet are planted on the ground. Start to notice your feet on the floor and your body in the chair. Observe what it feels like to have the ground and chair holding the weight of your body.
5-4-3-2-1 Observe your current distress level on a scale from 1-5 (5 being high). Notice 5 things you can see… 4 things you can hear… 3 things you can feel… 2 things you can smell… 1 thing you can taste. Now check in with yourself again by observing your level of distress. Has it changed? What do you notice? (TIP: you can remember this order by tracing a question mark on your face from your eye to your ear, cheek, nose, and mouth.)
Observing your Breath One way to calm your nervous system is to engage in diaphragmatic breathing. Try this: In a seated position, plant both feet on the ground and make sure your back is supported in your chair. Place one hand on your chest and the other on your belly. Your top hand (and shoulders) should remain fairly still. Imagine your belly is like a balloon. As you inhale, the balloon inflates…as you exhale, the balloon deflates. You should also feel your breath expanding your ribs and low back. Inhale whatever amount of air feels natural.
Paying Attention While someone is speaking to you, listen to their words and focus on what they are communicating to you without judgment or criticism. Wait until they are done before developing your response.
Meditating This one requires you to find a private room or space outside. There are many kinds of meditation, but the two below incorporate mindfulness practice. Know that your mind will wander, but every time you notice and return to the present, you’ve practiced mindfulness. The success is in sitting down to do it.
- Relaxation response (http://relaxationresponse.org/steps/)
- Headspace (https://www.headspace.com/) – this one is an app that guides you
The tools and philosophical traditions of mindfulness are time-tested and evidence-based interventions for helping cope with modern stressors. We believe that by applying these skills and strategies to your daily routine you can improve your overall wellness. We recommend trying out different mindfulness tools (such as the exercises above) to determine which ones best suit you. Then, when you find the tools you feel are most effective and practice them regularly, you can make mindfulness work for you.

Ploiești, Prahova County, Romania, March 21, 2023
The Romanian Orthodox Church consecrated a new social center for the elderly yesterday in Ploiești, an hour outside of Bucharest.
The center, a mission of the local Holy Annunciation Church, was consecrated by the Patriarchal Vicar His Grace Bishop Varlaam of Ploiești.
The center, a joint project of the parish and the Archdiocese of Bucharest, will serve 105 beneficiaries, offering both a social canteen and home care services, reports the Basilica News Agency.
Bp. Varlaam emphasized that the opening of the center is a good beginning to 2023, declared the honorary year of pastoral care for the elderly by the Romanian Holy Synod.
The Church of the Annunciation also runs a chapter of the Church’s national Table of Joy program, offering food to the needy.

“Meteor” has a credible exciting plot and an excellent cast. Sean Connery stars as Paul Bradley, a retired NASA expert. Connery does a great job in his portrayal of Bradley as a strong-willed and intelligent scientist. Tatiana Donshaya, played by Natalie Wood, is a Russian translator and scientist. Dr. Duboff is the head Russian scientist in the film and is portrayed by Brian Keith. Keith gives an excellent performance, perhaps his best ever, as the warm, humorous Russian scientist. Karl Maiden is perfectly suited for his role as the tough, action-minded NASA administrator, Harry Sherwood.
The story, written by Edmund H. North, begins with a spectacular scene when Orpheas, an asteroid orbiting in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter is hit by a comet traveling through our solar system. Orpheas explodes into many fragments which go hurtling off in all directions. Of the fragments which head for Earth, is one particularly large piece measuring 5 miles across and traveling at a speed of 30 thousand miles per hour.
A prediction is made in the movie that the impact caused by such a meteor would result in another Ice Age. The plot is all the more exciting because of the 7 day limit before the meteor will strike.
“Meteor ” has only one flaw. The special effects used to stage three disasters caused when smaller meteors hit the Earth are very poorly done. An avalance, a tidal wave, and an enormous fire all have the fuzzy bluish outline typical of the “Godzilla” movies done in the 50’s. The three disaster scenes are so obviously faked that the movie would have been improved by editing them. The quality of these scenes seemed totally out-of-place amongst the excellent acting and plot.
“Meteor” also stars Martin Landau as General Atlon, Joseph Campanella as General Easton, Trevor Howard as Sir Michael Hughes, Richard Dysart as the Secretary of Defense, Henry Fonda as the President, and Sybil Danning as a skier killed in the avalance.
“Meteor,” produced by Sandy Howard and Gabriel Katzka and directed by Ronald Neame, is a movie well-worth seeing (and is the predecessor of such movies as Deep Impact and Armageddon), because while it may be termed a disaster film, the movie itself was a great success.

Former First Lady Hillary Clinton weighed into the controversy over Judge Brett Kavanaugh and the woman who's accusing him of sexual assault 35 years ago, Christine Ford.
Kavanaugh's accuser, Clinton said, deserves "the benefit of the doubt.
Here's a transcript of her remarks:
MADDOW: “If the Brett Kavanaugh nomination is now hurdling into the suns, which is what I think, and that’s just my take on it. I don’t know if that will be proven right or wrong, there is the question about how the Senate should handle this matter going forward. I mean, there is this screwy precedent now where Republicans would not let President Obama fill an opening on the supreme Court created by the death of Justice Scalia for nearly a year until they got another shot at the White House in the 2016 election.
"Some Republican senators during the election campaign said that if you were elected in 2016, they fully intended to hold that seat open for all four years if necessary to give a Republican another shot at holding it. Given that extreme recent history, do you think that Democrats should play that kind of hardball too, be prepared to use those kinds of tactics so as not to be sort of the Patsy being pushed around on this, or do you think Democrats should just go through regular order with whoever Trump has to put up next if the Kavanaugh nomination fails?”
CLINTON: “What I would like to see is a democratic majority that actually has the chance to make that choice right now the Democrats have very few tools at their disposal to stop the Republicans from going full speed ahead and engaging in the kind of unprecedented behavior as they did with the Garland nomination. So I’m not in favor of either unilateral disarmament or Defcon-10. I think there has to be some effort to try to get back to regular order, try to get back to having a system, a process in place so that we are not subjected to the hardball behavior of the Republicans that we saw in the Garland nomination, and we’re not subject to the outrageous denial of the information that was requested on Kavanaugh.
"I mean, there can’t be one set of rules for Democrats and one set of rules for Republicans. That’s one of the reasons why people don’t have any confidence in the Congress. How can you? You don’t know what’s going to happen from day to day. I remember back in the Thomas hearing when senator bird was asked what he was going to do, and he said in a situation like this we should give the benefit of the doubt to the court and the country. And that’s what the Republicans should be doing right now, from the White House down Pennsylvania avenue to the Senate, give the benefit of the doubt to the court and the country.
"And that means have an investigation that will then lead to a hearing that will then lead to a vote if appropriate. And instead, they are playing the hardest of hardballs to try to pack the court with, you know, another nominee, regardless of the questions. Remember, Rachel, there were lots of questions raised in the hearing itself about some of his testimony, some of the statements he had made when he was first confirmed for the circuit court, and then additional statements. So there were already reasons to doubt the testimony and the positions that he was taking as well as substantive issues that are fair game for senators to explore.”

Here are the most important news items that investors need to start their trading day:
1. Reality bytes
We knew this was going to be a pivotal week for stocks, with so many Big Tech names reporting earnings. Now that we're through those reports, we have a good sense of where things stand as we venture deeper into the fourth quarter. After Alphabet disappointed investors with soft ad revenue and Microsoft issued underwhelming guidance, Facebook cratered as it became clear it would continue losing money on its increasingly dire metaverse venture. Then came Amazon and Apple earnings after the bell Thursday. Amazon shares fell big time after it posted revenue that missed Wall Street's projections and issued weak guidance for the fourth quarter. Apple turned out to be the best of the bunch, but that's not saying much: Sales of iPhones and services came in below expectations. Read live market updates here.

2. 'the bird is freed'
Twitter now belongs to Elon Musk. Thursday night, CNBC's David Faber broke the news that the eccentric billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX finally completed his $44 billion acquisition of the social media company after months of stunts, insults, walkbacks, insinuations, press leaks, legal maneuvers and and elaborate puns. Musk already put his stamp on the company, dismissing several top executives, including CEO Parag Agrawal and Chief Financial Officer Ned Segal. After the news broke, Musk, the self-described "Chief Twit," tweeted: "the bird is freed." The story isn't over yet. Now we're all waiting to see if and when Musk will revive the account of Donald Trump, who was booted from Twitter for inciting the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
3. Putin's shifty nuke rhetoric
After threatening several times that Russia would use any means to protect its territory, President Vladimir Putin said Thursday he doesn't think it would be necessary to use nuclear weapons. "We see no need for that," Putin said. "There is no point in that, neither political, nor military." President Joe Biden, however, declined to take Putin at his word. "If he has no intention, why does he keep talking about it? Why is he talking about the ability to use a tactical nuclear weapon?" Biden said during an interview with NewsNation. The exchange comes as Russia suggests that Ukraine would use a so-called dirty bomb, a traditional explosive device equipped with radioactive material, in its fight against the Kremlin's invaders. Ukrainian and Western officials have dismissed the claim as a potential pretext for escalation. Read live war updates here.
4. Wheeling and dealing
With supply chain issues easing somewhat, auto dealer stocks rallied Thursday. They defied, at least for now, Wall Street's expectations for what some analysts called "demand destruction" driven by inflation, recession fears and higher interest rates. Companies such as AutoNation and Group 1 Automotive came through with strong earnings and positive guidance. Group 1 CEO Earl Hesterberg told investors this week that the company doesn't have "any big trepidation about next year … our core businesses such as aftersales and new vehicle sales are moving to remain strong in the near-term."
5. Short order
Another way restaurants haven't recovered from the early, shutdown-heavy days of the Covid pandemic? Operating hours. Despite restrictions being lifted nationwide, eateries are open an average of 6.4 hours less than they were in October 2019, according to a Datassential study. There are a few key reasons, the study says. Among them: Restaurants are having trouble staffing for longer hours, and workers are returning to offices on hybrid schedules, meaning more time at home and less time out. It's even worse for independently owned restaurants, which have lost 7.5 hours weekly, compared to chains that have more than 501 locations, which cut hours by an average of 4 hours a week.

The UC system’s largest union will hold its third strike vote in less than a year Feb. 11 to Feb. 13 over continued contract disputes
The American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees 3299, the University of California’s largest union, called for a strike vote among its 8,300 service workers and a sympathy strike with other patient care technicians Feb. 11 to Feb. 13. More than 60 workers had protested earlier in the year on Sept. 27 at the UC Office of the President in Oakland.
AFSCME 3299 claims that, despite a year of negotiations, the UC system has not renewed the union’s contract, which first expired in September 2012. According to the AFSCME website, the university has yet to grant AFSCME the safe staffing standards and fair wages that they have given to other UC union workers. UC patient care and service workers are predominantly people of color and are the lowest paid workers in the UC system. They have previously protested due to the rising rates of workplace injuries on campus and growing government fines against UC medical centers.
AFSCME 3299 President Kathryn Lybarger has overseen the three strike votes and two strikes of the last year.
“If there’s one thing our membership has shown over the past year, it’s our willingness to compromise in an effort to reach agreement with UC,” Lybarger said.
AFSCME has previously gone on strike over the same expired contract, once in May and another time in September of last year.
The strikes were unsuccessful in ending the contract negotiations, though other unions such as University Professional and Technical Employees-Communications Workers of America have settled agreements for higher wages with the system.
“UC is using a double standard when it comes to patient care and service workers, refusing to offer the same staffing safeguards, wage fairness and benefits that they have already granted to other UC employees,” a petition on the AFSCME website said.
A chart on the AFSCME website comparing the promises that the UC system gave service workers to the promises it gave to other unions illuminates some of the problems AFSCME complains about. AFSCME asserts that the UC system continues to treat patient care and service workers as if they are “second-class citizens.”
Despite the fact that several contract disputes between the union and university have been settled, the two remain at an impasse regarding safe staffing guidelines and wage increases.
“Regents have the ability to bring end to this dispute. We need them to get involved,” Lybarger said in an interview with The Daily Californian on Jan. 22. “They need to know that our backs are against the wall, and we wanted them to know that it’s come to the point of a strike vote.”
However, the UC system, including spokesperson Shelly Meron, once again disagrees with the idea of another strike, believing that it will harm innocent patients.
“As we’ve said all along, we believe a labor strike is not productive and hurts our patients and students,” Meron said in an email, according to The Daily Californian. “These issues need to be resolved at the bargaining table.”
The two groups, AFSCME and the UC system, still remain in conflict despite the year’s efforts to come to an agreement. Neither side appears to budge in their decision.
“We cannot in good conscience compromise on the safety of our members and the people they serve, nor can we accept second class treatment when it comes to issues like wages and benefits,” Lybarger said. “It is sadly ironic that at a time when her old boss, President Obama, is working to address the problem of inequity across America, Janet Napolitano seems to be working just as hard to perpetuate it at the University of California.”

SiC based gas sensors and their applications
2000 (English)In: Materials Science Forum, ISSN 0255-5476, Vol. 353-3, 747-752 p.Article in journal (Refereed) Published
The development and field-testing of hardy high-temperature sensors based on silicon carbide devices has to date shown promising results in several application areas. As the need to take care of the environment becomes more urgent, these small and relatively cheap sensors could be used to increase the monitoring of gases, or to replace or complement larger and more expensive sensor technologies used today. In this paper the development of Silicon Carbide MOSFET transistor sensors and Schottky diode sensors is described. The devices are tested in industrial applications such as monitoring of car exhausts and flue gases.

Good morning everyone,
I hope you all had a great weekend. Along with many other photographers, I was at Rochdale’s Feel Good Festival on Saturday. I didn’t take the grown-up camera though, I took my family a relived the 90s with the main act Feeder. There was even a cask ale called “Buck Rogers” to remember their most popular single! It was a great showcase of Rochdale at its best, with the new market opening too.
Last Week’s Meeting – Members’ Evening
Many thanks to John Taylor and Richard Adams for sharing some of their work with us last week. John’s varied work was great to see, with some top tips for using a 12mm prime lens! Using a wide (see what I did there?) variety of inspirations and techniques, John’s work is proof that no two photographers produce the same image from the same scene.
Richard surprised us all by showing a comparatively short photographic history, with some impressive progress. Richard’s nature work is top of the class and proves that there is really no substitute for practise and hard work.
Tomorrow’s Meeting – Mick Ryan: Landscape & Nature, plus an appraisal
Long-time friend of the club, Mick will visit us again tomorrow to share some of his Landscape and Nature photography. Most of us will know Mick’s work and how good it is… he works in so many genres of photography and produces some fabulous work in all of them. After the break, Mick will give an honest appraisal of some of OUR work, so bring along some of your images on a USB stick for Mick to assess. Try to stick to 3 maximum if you can, but please do bring some images along: Mick’s opinions are based on sound technical knowledge and a strong commercial and artistic experience.
Check Mick’s website if you don’t know him already.
Next Week – Working Night – this time with themes!
On 28th August, we’re having a Working Night but in response to you asking for a bit more structure to these nights, Ken and Frank have agreed to put on specific sessions to encourage everyone to address areas of photography. Ken has provided a sheet (attached to the members’ weekly email) which he’ll use in his Basic Flash Photography session, but please take a look to prepare yourselves in advance.
Our Recent Portrait Night – Please email your images
I’ve received a few images to share with our models from our Portrait Night recently, but I’m sure there are plenty more out there. Would you please email them to me as soon as you can so I can send them on to Jack, Caroline and Emma? Thank you 🙂
With that final appeal, I’ll bid you a fond farewell until tomorrow night. Don’t forget to put your images onto a USB stick for Mick to appraise, and I’ll see you there.
With very best wishes,


Reconfigure.io brings the power of hardware-acceleration technology to the cloud ecosystem. Whatever industry you work in, it’s likely that speed and cost are important factors in your work. Increasing CPU speeds have long been the way towards improvements in these areas, but like many things, this can’t last forever.
FPGA-based hardware acceleration, whilst nothing new, provides significant speed improvements through carrying out many, many tasks in parallel. Cost reductions are easily achieved due to the fact that one FPGA can carry out the work of many servers. Up until now, the power of the FPGA has been tricky to harness due to the skills and hardware required to take full advantage of their programmability. Reconfigure.io allows you to use the skills and tools you have already to program and reprogram FPGAs to fit your business-specific requirements, all from a powerful, convenient and easy to use cloud deployment and management system.
We’ve simplified the path to developing for FPGAs – now all you need is a laptop.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Marina
If you haven’t heard about Welsh pop singer Marina Diamandis—formerly known as Marina and the Diamonds—you are missing out on great music. The singer has been in the music industry for almost a decade and is not slowing down. Marina broke into the music scene with her debut album, Family Jewels, and continued to bring great music through her alter ego, Electra Heart, with her sophomore album of the same name. The songstress took fans to a frooty dreamland with her third album, Froot.
In 2019, the singer dropped “and the Diamonds” from her stage name to kickstart a new era of her artistic identity. The name change allowed Marina to explore her music style at her own pace. As a result, she released her fourth album, LOVE + FEAR, which showcased both sides of her work; the radiant pop through love and the darker material through fear.
Last Summer, Diamandis tweeted out about wanting to find female creatives to collaborate with on her next project; her goal was to tell a story that only women can tell. By November, Marina released the track “Man’s World”, a feminist pop anthem with the Welsh artist singing, “I don’t wanna live in a man’s world...” The track also references moments in history where women were subjected to persecution throughout history with lyrics like, “Burnt me at the stake, you thought I was a witch / Centuries ago, now you just call me a bitch...” The music video was brought to life by female creatives depicting a world with ethereal and empowered women.
In April, Marina dropped a new track for her fans to indulge in, “Purge the Poison”. The retro-pop-inspired track calls out society and humanity in times like these, singing, “Need to purge the poison from our system / Until human beings listen...” Accompanying the single, Marina released a music video filled with nostalgia reminiscent of her old eras.
Her latest singe is "Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land", and, following the release of “Purge the Poison,” the singer announced her fifth studio album of the same name, expected to be released on June 11. She is also putting on a live digital concert in mid-June, which you can check out here. So please do yourself a favor and give Marina’s music a listen. You won’t regret it!

This is a take on a product offered at my local Farmer’s Market, and I save a boat-load by making my own. It’s packed with nutritious greens and is a convenient way to sneak in some extra veggies while on the go or when the fridge is running low on fresh produce. Honestly, I would never even attempt making this without a Vitamix (or similar high-powered blender) because of the need to blend the bejeezus out of it and liquify the tough bits (stems, stalks, etc); other than that, it couldn’t be simpler.
I make a huge batch and freeze it in ice cube trays. Pop the cubes out, and store them in the freezer in a ziploc bag. When I want a drink, I pop a few cubes in a blender bottle and add water. I prefer it on the less sweet side, but you could definitely sweeten it up by adding an apple or banana to the mix.
- One bunch of each*:
- Collard greens
- Swiss chard
- Dandelion greens
- Red leaf lettuce
- 1 apple or banana, optional
- *Opt for organic when possible. If certain greens are not available, substitute with your choice or double up on something else.
- Equipment: Vitamix (or similar) / Large stock pot / Ladle
- Thoroughly wash all greens. There is no need to trim the stems/stalks.
- Process the greens in small batches, adding enough water to keep the Vitamix moving. You want the greens to liquefy as much as possible. Pour the processed greens into the stock pot for holding.
- If desired, process the banana or apple in the last batch of greens.
- Stir the mixture thoroughly. It's honestly going to look like green soup!
- Portion into ice cube trays. Freeze and then store cubes in ziploc bags. You will likely need to work in batches. Keep greens mixture in refrigerator until the entire batch is frozen.
As I mentioned, I drink this mixed with extra water but it would be delicious added to a smoothie or blended with coconut water. Enjoy!

Originally Appeared on Pitchfork


I have some posts regarding architecture, the city and the senses. We usually relate senses with the sound of cars, people talking, water in fountains, textures, materials, smell of food and in the old times the smell of horses and their excrements.
But there are some special situations where our senses are enhanced. And such is the case of the ancient plagues, but in modern life, we have the earthquakes and floods. In the aftermath of urban disasters the smell could be terrible.
I found a very good article by Andrei Codrescu “New Orleans: the Art of the Corpse”, the editor and creator of Exquisite Corpse. A journal of letters and life. And he well explains the haptic sensations after Katrina’s flood, in New Orleans, USA. Mostly, the unbearable smell. And, curiously, the folk urban art as a kind of consequence. Here we go:
When New Orleanians returned to their homes after the Storm they were struck by a smell that has no equivalent in recent American history: a stupefying blend of decaying animal flesh as layered as the city’s history. The sweet rankness of animal and human death floated around the city like it might have in the aftermath of a Yellow Fever epidemic of the 18th century, but added to it was the putrid efflorescence of 20th century grocery store meat blossoming inside thousands of refrigerators. For a week or so after the Storm, when the city wallowed in its filth and misery without help from the United States of America, which they had mistakenly believed they were part of, people helped each other drag the taped-up fridges unto the street. Rows and rows of white metal boxes cradling inside generations of maggots began to fill the narrow streets of America’s oldest city. Waves of putrefaction rolled over the streets. New Orleans sank into the funk like a corpse into the embrace of the earth. The rows of fridges lining the streets looked by moonlight like primed canvasses ready for painting. The city’s artists, who have been enthralled since John James Audubon by New Orleans’ embrace of decay and death (Audubon purchased all his American birds dead from the French Market) were not long in reacting. New Orleans music and art had always been inspired by funk: rotting vegetation, blooming night jasmine, the faint smell of the dead wafting from the city’s above-ground cemeteries, rotting crustaceans, transpiration, and sex. Now here was all this funk, magnified a thousand times. And here were all these metal tombs stretching as far as the eye could see, more numerous than the graves they resembled. The art appeared instantly and it was, appropriately, political. “Chem Trails Are Real: Weather Control is Here,” was scrawled below a jet leaving behind what looked like a trail of poison. Another fridge warned severely: “Do Not Open: Cheney Inside.” Inside others one could find Bush, Rice, Nagin, and Michael Brown doing obscene things within with the maggots and with each other. In a short time, there were thousands of art works in the city, an exhibition that stretched for miles, that had no official opening, that was constantly in progress. Today, most of the show is closed. National Guardsmen, volunteers, and city workers have incinerated the art after hauling it to vast refrigerator graveyards. New Orleans always renewed its armies of ghosts after every disaster of its 500-year history, but this last addition came with its own unique, absolutely new style.
All pictures were downloaded from Andrei Codrescu’s article.

Land a rare buy in Slieve Blooms
The Slieve Bloom Mountains might be a rare topographical feature in the midland plains, but also rare is the emergence onto the market of 52.5ac property in the area.
The holding, comprising grazing land and potential forestry ground, has come on the market at Capard, Rosenallis, and the Co Laois property will be sold by public auction at the end of the month.
The farm is the estate of the late Gerard Conroy and will be sold in three lots: 37.5ac of grazing land in one lot, about 15ac of ground suitable for forestry in lot two, or the entire property, which makes up lot three.
Portarlington-based selling agent Matt Dunne described the grazing land as good agricultural ground with a brown sub-soil classification.
The property has a natural fall to a fast-running stream but could do with work, including the removal of some furze and the opening up of drains.
The holding also includes a two-span hayshed with a lean-to and is accessed by a 200m laneway.
Mr Dunne has put a guide price of €5,000/ac on the grazing land.
Lot two is currently heavy ground, which would be ideal for forestry. This portion of the property has extensive road frontage and the guide price for this section is €3,000/ac.

Four CTA Red Line stations on the North Side are set to undergo complete makeovers this spring to make then 100% accessible with larger platforms and added elevators and escalators.
The station upgrades at Lawrence, Argyle, Berwyn and Bryn Mawr are part of the $4.7 billion Red and Purple Modernization Project that started in 2014.
The Chicago Transit Authority on Thursday unveiled illustrations of what the new station entrances might look like.
The CTA said it worked closely with residents “who live and work in the neighborhoods around the stations to develop designs to create an identity for each station, with each responding to the context and the culture of the local neighborhoods.”
All four stations will close in the spring, but temporary stations will open alongside the Argyle and Bryn Mawr stops, the CTA said.
The stations are expected to open by the end of 2024.
The construction is the first part of phase one of the modernization project. That phase, which alone costs $2.1 million, will rebuild every Red and Purple station from Linden Place to Belmont Avenue.
Phase one also includes construction of a $320 million bypass that will carry northbound Brown Line trains over the Red and Purple line tracks just north of the Belmont Station. The CTA also plans to install a $250 million signal system on 23 track miles to improve train flow and service reliability.
The Red Line, one of the city’s busiest train lines, carries nearly 70 million riders a year.

TURMOIL AT WORLDCOM: THE OVERVIEW
TURMOIL AT WORLDCOM: THE OVERVIEW; WORLDCOM FACING CHARGES OF FRAUD; INQUIRIES EXPAND
By SIMON ROMERO
Published: June 27, 2002
The Securities and Exchange Commission filed fraud charges against WorldCom yesterday and President Bush vowed to ''hold people accountable'' for the bookkeeping scandal at the company, the nation's second-largest long-distance provider and a major carrier of Internet traffic.
As the stock market shuddered yesterday in response to Tuesday night's disclosure that WorldCom had falsely reported profits for the last five quarters, the Nasdaq exchange suspended trading of shares in WorldCom and the tracking stock of its MCI unit. And as the value of WorldCom's corporate bonds plummeted, it became clear that the debt-ridden company would now face tougher negotiations with its bank lenders, making a bankruptcy filing more likely.
Meanwhile, the Justice Department and a House committee opened investigations of the company's accounting methods, and the S.E.C. said it would expand its own investigation, which it began in March.
As the company's work force braced for a wave of pink slips -- WorldCom plans to cut 17,000 of its 85,000 employees beginning tomorrow -- some consumer and corporate customers of WorldCom's MCI long-distance unit were already looking for alternative carriers.
Few telecommunications companies looked like havens yesterday, though, as WorldCom's bad news helped batter stocks of other carriers in this country and overseas, companies that have already been struggling to emerge from the communications industry's long recession.
''The industry is reeling from this black mark,'' Jose Collazo, chief executive of Infonet, a WorldCom competitor, said in an interview.
It was as if months of accounting scandals, which have already engulfed Enron, Global Crossing and Adelphia Communications, among others, as well as the auditing firm Arthur Andersen, had finally hit critical mass with the disclosure late Tuesday that WorldCom had masked losses by overstating its financial results by $3.8 billion -- one of the largest cases of false corporate bookkeeping yet.
President Bush, speaking yesterday on the opening day of an eight-nation economic meeting in Kananaskis, Alberta, called the WorldCom revelation ''outrageous'' and vowed, ''We will fully investigate and hold people accountable for misleading not only shareholders but employees as well.''
In an apparent show of the administration's resolve, a few hours later the chairman of the S.E.C., Harvey L. Pitt, told reporters in Manhattan that the commission had taken the unusual step of filing civil fraud charges against WorldCom. He said part of the aim was to prevent the destruction of documents by WorldCom while the S.E.C. continued its investigation.
In its court filing, the S.E.C. said WorldCom violated antifraud and reporting provisions of federal securities laws by creating an accounting scheme intended to manipulate earnings to meet Wall Street's expectations and to support the company's stock price. Under this scheme, the S.E.C. said, WorldCom improperly booked so-called line costs, or the fees WorldCom paid to other communications companies to use their networks, as capital investments, which had the effect of masking losses.
The accounting strategy, which the S.E.C. said was put in place in early 2001 as the slowing economy resulted in a decline in WorldCom's profits, may have been blessed by executives other than Scott D. Sullivan, the chief financial officer who was fired this week, and David Myers, the controller, who resigned, according to the commission's complaint.
''In a scheme directed and approved by its senior management, WorldCom disguised its true operating performance by using undisclosed and improper accounting that materially overstated its income,'' the S.E.C. said in its complaint.
It remains to be seen whether the Justice Department will investigate WorldCom with the same intensity it has shown in its investigation of Enron, for which it set up a special task force. Bryan Sierra, a spokesman for the Justice Department, declined to comment yesterday, but people close to the company said that a Justice inquiry was under way.
The House Energy and Commerce Committee, meanwhile, which has looked into business practices at Enron, Global Crossing and ImClone, will now turn its attention to WorldCom, according to its chairman, Billy Tauzin, Republican of Louisiana.
''This was not a simple bookkeeping mistake,'' Mr. Tauzin said in a statement released yesterday. ''Clearly, it was an orchestrated effort to mislead investors and regulators, and I am determined to get to the bottom of it.''
John W. Sidgmore, WorldCom's chief executive, who disclosed the WorldCom bookkeeping problem on Tuesday night and announced that Mr. Sullivan had been fired, was not available for comment yesterday. Instead, he put a statement on the company's Web site, saying in part, ''This has been a very tough week for WorldCom, there's no doubt about it.''
Mr. Sidgmore spent much of the day yesterday in discussions with WorldCom's large customers and some of its employees, but it could not be determined whether he had held further talks with the company's bankers, with whom he had met in New York on Tuesday.

One way to avoid stress is to determine what could go wrong and then prepare yourself for it. Get a spare key for your house and car, have a nice meal with you when you’re out of the house, and make sure you can get a babysitter on short notice if you need to. Having a plan and knowing how to take care of it beforehand will help you to deal with any problems should they occur.
Do not constantly talk about “stress.” Continually talking or thinking about any condition, whether it’s hunger or stress, can tend to make it even more bothersome and intense. Just thinking of the word may even result in you feeling it more, so instead of falling into this trap, try and come up with an alternate word for what you are experiencing!
Make time in your daily schedule for an activity you love. The ensuing stress in the remaining portions of your day will seem more manageable. Find something that you really enjoy and commit to doing it at least once a day.
Certain types of music have been shown to have a calming effect on the nerves. When the stress builds up, put in a favorite CD, lie back, listen, or even sing along. This will allow you to break from what you have been focusing on, or what had been stressing you out.
Go about your business with the feeling that everything is great. Your mind is very powerful. If you act like everything is okay, you may soon realize that your perceived problems are not as dire as they may first appear. Make sure to enjoy life, because life is to valuable to dwell on the bad things.
If life presents you with an unreasonable amount of exercise and stress, make sure that you get a little exercise every day. Most people don’t realize how going for a short walk or jog will improve their mood and alleviate their feelings of anxiety. By making a small addition to your daily routine, you can significantly improve your quality of life.
To reduce stress, try going to the park for a jog, and take in the scenery. Not only will the exercise work out tension, it will also help you to flush out toxins in your system through sweating. Go for a jog or run to take stress out of your life.
One way to eliminate or reduce stress is to improve your overall health. You can improve your diet, rest more at night, or exercise more to help your body fend off anxiety and stress. When you take good care of yourself, your sense of well being increases and stressful events are easier to handle.
Teach yourself to say no. If you always cave in to the demands of others, you are guaranteed a stressful life. Work to differentiate between when you’re able to take on a responsibility, and when it is better to just say “no.” You just have to keep in mind that taking time for yourself is extremely important.
You should try and squeeze a stress ball when feeling stressed out and tense. The strenuous squeezing and releasing of your hand will relieve your body of some of its tightness and stress. Your muscles both work and unwind. You can keep a stress ball with you so you can use it in the times you need it.
Get a tutor to help you master a difficult subject at school. This provides you with necessary help so that when the time arrives to take the test, you are not unduly stressed. Preparing ahead of time is one of the best things you can do to alleviate anxiety over classwork.
If you are stressed or feeling overwhelmed it is not a good feeling, and it will also hurt your health. However, by integrating the tips here into your daily schedule, you can win the battle and keep stress under control.

Two trucks were taken out of service Thursday and nearly 80 citations were issued when a North Hills enforcement task force patrolled Route 19 from Pittsburgh to the Butler County line and McKnight Road, according to a press release from Northern Regional Police Officer Scott Rick.
The Allegheny County District Attorney Regional Vehicle Inspection Task Force worked from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., looking for vehicle and truck violations.
Three arrests were made—two for active warrants and one for possession of a controlled substance, Rick wrote in the press release.
Police from 15 departments, working together on the task force, made 78 traffic stops for vehicle/truck violations.
Certified inspectors also completed nine Level 1 commercial vehicle inspections, which are done to ensure the vehicle is in proper working condition and the driver is fit to operate it.
Here is a breakdown of the 78 citations/warnings that were issued:
13 for securing-the-load violations,
4 safety-chain violations,
11 vehicle-equipment violations,
22 inspection/registration violations and
5 operator suspensions—one was DUI related.
Also, 23 citations/warnings were issued for various vehicle-code violations.
This is the 22nd event for the Vehicle Inspection Task Force, which includes police departments from (Pine, Marshall, Bradford Woods and Richland), McCandless, Hampton, Fox Chapel, Ohio Township, Indiana, Etna, Franklin Park, Reserve, , O’Hara, Shaler, Millvale, and West Deer.
To date, 1,442 traffic stops have been made, 315 commercial vehicle inspections completed, 1,119 citations and 685 warnings have been issued.
The task force was established after a fatal 2006 crash in which an unsecured wood chipper broke loose from a truck and plowed into a minivan on Route 8 in Richland Township, killing three people. Click here for a story.

ARLINGTON BAPTIST COLLEGE; 70 LANCASTER BIBLE COLLEGE; 65
Friday March 14, 2014
The Arlington Baptist Patriots, winners of the SW NCCAA DII Regional Championship and the ACCA National Championship, have just advanced to their second straight NCCAA National Championship game with a win against #3 ranked Lancaster Bible College, 70-65 in a dog fight in the final 8 minutes of play.
The Patriots, despite missing their starting center Hugo Rodriguez and starting shooting guard/second leading scorer Raphael Garcia, came to play in the NCCAA semi-final game against a highly competitive team from Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Jumping off quick in the first half, forward Patrick Howard had 10 points and 6 boards alone in just his second start of the season while Junior guard Josh Green connected on 5 out of 8 shots to give the Patriots an 8 point lead over the Lancaster Chargers 38-30.
The Second 20 minutes of play however would not be as easy for the Arlington Baptist Patriots. With a commanding 15 point lead with 8 minutes remaining the Chargers went on an 18-4 run going into the final 75 seconds of the ball game.
In the closing seconds of the game, Point Guard Simeon Brinkley connected perfectly with Guard Johnny Shrake as he beat his man with a backdoor cut, making the basket and collecting the foul to snap the Patriots dry-spell and bring them up by a full possession.
With a defensive stop on the other end of the court, the Patriots found themselves on the line again, and though unable to connect, Sophomore Johnny Shrake would come up again with a clutch rebound, he had 5 in the second half alone and 7 on the night, helping Guard Josh Green to get to the line and finish the game off .
Junior Guard Josh Green led the Patriots in scoring for the night with 17 points, 4 steals, and 3 rebounds – shooting 100% from the free-throw line 7-7.
The Arlington Baptist Patriots advance to the NCCAA Championship Game for the second year in a row as they will face the same opponent as a year ago, #1 seeded Ohio Christian University.
Tip Off is at 5:00 pm Eastern Time and can be watched via tourbeausports.com

I have a super thrifty DIY for y’all today.
Really, this one is a no brainer!
DIY GOLD DIPPED JARS
If you follow along on Instagram, you might remember these.
I shared a photo of them right after I finished painting. (which took all of about 10 min!)
I was over at Hobby Lobby awhile back and saw these gold dipped jars…..
And even there they were around $30 each.
They do have coupons and sales quite often but even with a 50% off sale, you’d still spend that for the two.
I spent $3.50…and the gold spray paint.
(of which I still have a lot left in the can)
This is the same paint I used on this project…..
It’s a beautiful shade of gold. I just love it!
So here’s the jars I found at the thrift store. (these glass jars are always in abundance at thrift stores, by the way)
All three of them at the same one…..
As you can see, they were on sale, $3.42 to be exact….not including tax.
I began by taping off where I wanted the “line”.
I realized it’s not so easy to go around a round item with tape…in a straight line. ;)
So…. I decided to fill with water so I’d have a fill line to follow…..
I wanted the gold to vary on each so filled them each at different levels.
This worked PERFECTLY, by the way!
So perfectly that y’all need to pin this for later! (in case you forget, like me! ;) )
Then I applied a plastic bag to the above area so paint wouldn’t get where I didn’t want it.
I took them outside and sprayed them.
Pretty gold dipped jars.
A few coats of paint and done.
That’s a substantial price difference on these gold dipped jars…
…especially considering the ease of this project.
Aren’t they pretty and elegant looking?
Amazing savings and such a simple DIY.
Need some pretty (and inexpensive) new home decor?
Give this a try!
If gold is not your thing, use silver…or bronze, etc.
Makes sense to DIY this one, for sure.
Hope you’ll give it a go!

The Belfast Telegraph reports that Giambrone & Law Clients win case against the legal firm for Italian holiday homes that were never built. This victory will give plenty of encouragement to others around the UK and Ireland that are currently struggling through the legal mire that is generally involved when property overseas doesn’t get built – which can happen.
Thirteen property buyers from Northern Ireland have won a £1m legal battle over Italian holiday homes that were never built. Formal judgment is set to be entered in their favour after liability was admitted by a law firm involved in the sales process. The investors paid out 50% deposits for apartments in Calabria in southern Italy nearly six years ago. But the proposed El Caribe development never took place. Legal proceedings were launched at the High Court in Belfast against Gabriele Giambrone and his firm, Giambrone & Law. It was alleged that the defendants breached their professional duty to protect the deposits. But just ahead of a planned trial, liability was conceded.
A judge will now make a formal ruling for the plaintiffs. Mr Chambers, who has already settled individual claims by other investors, confirmed that around £1.2m was paid in deposits. He vowed that his clients would now fight on to enforce the judgment and seek to recoup their lost money. “These 13 individuals invested in 2007 in what was sold to them as a dream holiday home in the south of Italy,” he said.
Their lawyer, Simon Chambers of Russell & Co Solicitors in Newtownards, said the case was fought “tooth and nail” right to the end. He said: “The defendants have insisted on contesting these matters bitterly until at long last they admitted liability on the eve of the trial. Judgment will now be entered for the lost monies. The defendant, through his law firm which was established in London, represented that they were specialists in overseas property transactions and would ensure that all appropriate legal checks would be carried out and proper protection would be in place to safeguard against risks to my clients’ money.”
Mr Chambers added: “We are proud to obtain this unique and historic judgment against these defendants who are facing a large number of claims both in this and other jurisdictions. We are delighted that our clients can finally see some justice done.”
If you are one of the property owners in question and want to tell your story the Belfast Telegraph wants to hear your story. Call the news desk on 028 9026 4440 (048 9026 4440 from the Republic of Ireland).

Today is a crucial day for the rule.
First, the Federal Reserve met in order to introduce the Volcker Rule proposal. That passed.
Now the FDIC is meeting in order to vote on introducing the proposal. The meeting began at 10 AM. At 10:30 AM, the vote was 3-0 to propose the Volcker Rule.
Next, the Securities and Exchange Commission will vote on introducing the measure. That happens tomorrow.
The rule that passed is slightly different from the draft Volcker rule that leaked to press last week. One major change, according to MarketWatch, is that banks and other interested groups have until Jan. 13 to comment on the proposal. In the leaked proposal, interested groups had until Dec. 16 to comment.
Another change will ease the minds of bank CEOs, who would have had to certify that they had adequate compliance controls in place every year if the version floated last January has been passed.
According to MarketWatch:
In the study regulators suggested that agencies consider requiring the CEO to attest to the effectiveness of the new Volcker Rule-imposed internal compliance regime.
However, instead of proposing that CEOs must certify, the draft language asks whether bank CEOs should certify annually that they have adequate compliance procedures in place.
Bank and securities regulators have to agree on the final version. The Federal Reserve and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency presented the draft today.
