The mysterious origins of chimichurri
When a new Turkish restaurant opened in San Francisco not too long ago, I was one of the first to give it a try. I am mad for Turkish food and was hoping that dinner would transport me to Istanbul, one of my favorite eating cities.
After tasting a few appetizers, I ordered one of the kebabs. It came with an accompanying green sauce that was definitely familiar and definitely not Turkish. It was Argentine chimichurri. It turned out the chef hired for the restaurant was Latino and he likes the sauce. I like the sauce, too, but just not with my Turkish kebabs.
Chimichurri is an herb-based condiment that is a culinary specialty of Argentina and Uruguay. Typically served alongside grilled steaks, roasted beef and pork sausages, it is made from parsley, dried oregano, garlic, salt and pepper in a base of olive oil and vinegar. Some versions add a pinch of hot pepper; others add chopped cilantro or a bit of chopped onion. The amount of garlic varies from a few cloves to a whole head.
One of the best chimichurri sauces I have tasted is made by James Schenk at his pan-Latin San Francisco restaurant, Destino (1815 Market St.). Destino opened in 2000 and later expanded next door with Pisco bar and lounge.
Schenk was born and raised in San Francisco and graduated from UC Berkeley. He spent his junior year in Spain, where he fell in love with European cafe culture. Originally he planned to open a cafe with coffee and desserts, but after doing the numbers realized it would be hard to sustain such a business. Then he thought he'd do a Spanish tapas bar, but soon realized that no one was focusing on the food of Latin America. Hence Destino.
Schenk's mother is Peruvian, so the food of Latin America has always been on his family table and imprinted his palate. He has traveled widely in Latin America, but naturally has spent the most time in Peru. While the ingredients at Destino are mostly California local, he does import his aji chiles (limo, amarillo and rocoto) and his dried corn nuts from Peru.
He shops at Evergreen Market (2539 Mission St., San Francisco) for some of his ingredients, and occasionally at Casa Lucas (2934 24th St. and 4555 Mission St., San Francisco). He also has a greenhouse where he raises huacatay, chile aji amarillo, amaranth and lucuma, a banana-caramel flavored Andean fruit he uses in the restaurant's cheesecake.
The Argentine gourmet Miguel Brascó claims that the word chimichurri came about when the British were captured after the failed British invasions of the Río de la Plata in 1806-1807. The prisoners asked for condiments for their food, mixing English, aboriginal and Spanish words. Still other stories say the name of the sauce comes from the Basque settlers who arrived in Argentina in the 19th century, and the name of the sauce comes from the term tximitxurri, loosely translated as "a mixture of several things in no particular order."
But Perbacco chef, and food scholar, Staffan Terje says that chimichurri is practically identical to the Sicilian salmoriglio sauce. Salmoriglio is used mainly on seafood and vegetables, while chimichurri is used mainly on grilled meat. Both sauces are incredibly versatile and may be used as marinades and finishing sauces as well as salad dressings. They are good on meat, poultry, fish and vegetables.
In digging through my cookbook library, I found that in books that chronicle the food of Latin America written before 1991 chimichurri does not appear, except in the recipe booklet that accompanied the hardcover in the Time-Life "Foods of the World" series. The sauce seems to have come into prominence after the wave of grilling books appeared on the scene.
As a California chef, Schenk is not afraid to make a few changes to the classic to suit his palate. He adds a bit of cumin and some cilantro to the traditional combo of parsley and oregano, and uses fresh oregano instead of dried. It is delicious.
Sicilian Swordfish Rolls
These are a specialty of southern Sicily. The use of pine nuts and raisins in the recipe can be ascribed to the arrival of the Arabs on the island in the 9th century. Note that the breadcrumbs and filling can be made ahead.
- -- About 1 1/2 cups diced coarse country bread, crusts removed
- 2/3 cup olive oil
- -- Kosher salt
- -- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 anchovy fillets, chopped (optional)
- 1/4 cup currants, plumped in hot water and drained
- 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
- 1/4 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 12 slices swordfish, each about 1/4-inch thick, about 2 pounds total
- 4 to 6 bay leaves
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- -- Salmoriglio sauce (recipe below)
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350. Pulse the bread cubes in a food processor to make fine crumbs. Spread the crumbs on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle evenly with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss well to coat. Bake, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and measure out 2/3 cup of the crumbs. Reserve any leftover crumbs for another use.
Heat 4 tablespoons of the olive oil in a small skillet; add the onion, and cook until soft, about 10 minutes. Stir in the bread crumbs, anchovy (if using), currants, pine nuts, parsley, and 2 tablespoons each of lemon and orange juices. Season with salt and pepper, remove from the heat and let cool.
Place each slice of swordfish between 2 sheets of lightly oiled parchment paper or plastic wrap, and pound very gently to uniform thinness. Each slice should be about 5 inches long and 3 inches wide; trim as necessary. (Any odd fragments of swordfish can be incorporated into the filling - add to the filling mixture and re-cook a bit.)
Peel off the top sheet of parchment or plastic and lightly sprinkle the fish with salt. (You can stack the pieces, leaving a piece of parchment or plastic between the layers.) Refrigerate until needed.
To assemble, preheat the oven to 400. Oil a 9- by 12-inch baking dish. Place a heaping tablespoon of filling on each swordfish slice and roll up. Secure with a toothpick or kitchen string. Arrange the swordfish rolls side by side in the baking dish, interspersing the bay leaves between the rolls. Sprinkle with the oregano. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the remaining lemon and orange juices.
Bake until the fish is cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a platter. Serve warm or at room temperature, drizzled with salmoriglio sauce.

The number of contacts to the NSPCC from people concerned about children living in homes with domestic abuse rose by almost 50% since the introduction of national lockdown measures.
The children’s charity said that between April and September 2020, more than 4,500 concerns were raised by members of the public, with 818 contacts in August alone.
NSPCC frontline staff who work with mothers and children facing domestic abuse at home said their experiences back up the statistics.
Back in April, just weeks after lockdown measures were introduced, the charity Refuge which runs the National Domestic Abuse helpline reported that calls to the helpline had risen by 120 per cent overnight on 6 April while traffic to their website had sky rocketed by 700 per cent from the previous day.
The NSPCC has supported more than 2,000 women and children across the UK over the past 10 years through its Domestic Abuse Recovering Together (DART) service. From working with families in this way, the charity says it understands the importance of community-based support.
Currently, however, there is no legal requirement to provide specialist support services. Such services are crucial in helping children recover from domestic abuse and move forward with their lives.

Hyper-realistic gear — British Amps
AmpliTube 4 welcomes 5 new classic amplifier models to the mix representing some of the best British tones from the 70s, 80s and 90s.
Each amplifier has been modeled from scratch to embody a different aspect of powerfully classic British amplifier design: There’s the Brit 8000, Brit 9000, Red Pig, Brit Silver and Brit Valve-Pre. All of these new amplifiers have been created utilizing the same methods and patented technologies that have made the AmpliTube brand name synonymous with world-class sound, hyper-realistic tone and extreme accuracy.
AmpliTube 4 is all about exploring new tonal possibilities and its new “Acoustic Sim” model pedal turns the electric guitar into a hyper-realistic acoustic. It delivers stunning realism and an amazing playing experience that can be tweaked with the onboard controls.
Players can choose from and blend 3 acoustic body styles and 3 types of top material to sound like a full range of popular acoustic guitars. Now guitarists with AmpliTube 4 will always have at their disposal great acoustic sounds.
Creative connections and effects placement
New to the signal path in AmpliTube 4 is an effects “loop” insert slot situated between the preamp and power amp sections and can accommodate up to 4 daisy-chained rack or stomp effects.
8-Track Recorder/DAW under the hood
When used in standalone mode, AmpliTube 4 features a built-in 8-track DAW that makes recording ideas and songs a breeze. Its powerful sequencer-like waveform editing should be immediately familiar to you, making it easy to use it as a sketchpad for new ideas or as a full-featured recording solution on its own. Each track features standard treble, mid and bass eq, pan control, level, mute, solo and record enable functions, plus there’s an FX enable button allowing for application of different tone configurations to individual tracks.
As a learning tool, you can import any audio tracks into the DAW section, define loop points and use AmpliTube’s built-in Speed control to slow down difficult passages without affecting pitch, and use the Pitch control to change keys without affecting speed. This feature is perfect for working out difficult solos or practicing different leads or melodies over a series of chord changes in a backing track.

By: Elías Flores Gallegos, Attorney
Recently, the President of Mexico sent to Congress a series of reforms in legal matters, among which is an initiative to reform the labor justice system that would include modernization and disappearance of the Boards of Conciliation and Arbitration, and transfer these functions to true Federal courts.
For years the Mexican labor justice system, has discouraged and scared away domestic and foreign investment, in many cases labor justice and unions have completely exterminated companies. The current labor justice system has been abused and exceeded by current daily needs, that’s why a real change is necessary.
In order for Mexico to be at an equal footing to compete with the international community, it is necessary to carry out this reform in labor justice. Of course, without affecting the interests of workers, as these will not be affected in their labor rights. We currently have a backlog of labor justice for more than 30 years.
Labor authorities administer justice and dictate sentences, called ‘ruling’, currently under administrative authorities. By simple logic Labor Justice Structure must belong to the judiciary system, not the executive branch as it happens today. That is, the Labor Justice must be ruled by Federal Courts which are real Justice Courts.
The reform provides that the Labor Justice, as Justice Daily, is in charge of District Courts and Unitarian Courts.
Now, we all wonder. What is the benefit of this reform? Very simple, while Labor Justice is ruled by real courts, the deal for both parties is, from the beginning, more “fair and equitable”, facilitating social peace and harmonious lives, guaranteeing everyone the access to prompt and equitable justice, and certainly avoiding all kinds of abuse committed today by lawyers without professional ethics and corrupt officials. Both parties will initiate proceedings on an equal footing, there will be more technical judgments. It will be a fair and equal system for both parties.

Dine Under The Stars|Mumbai
Check out these 8 open-air restaurants in Mumbai
There is no better way to eat than with a breath of fresh air and breathtaking views. Whether you’re looking at the city’s skyline, its glistening coastline, or a bustling shopping street, there’s something magical about dining outside, especially when there’s a nip in the air. For a quiet meal, here are some of Mumbai’s most beautiful open-air restaurants and bars. Here are some of Mumbai’s most attractive restaurants and bars to enjoy an unforgettable meal.
AER – Bar & Lounge, Four Seasons Hotel, Worli
This roof bar on the 34th floor of the Four Seasons Hotel offers stunning views of old and new Mumbai in a natural setting (Haji Ali, the racecourse, the old Mill areas, the new skyscrapers, city lights, and the sea). After you’ve had your fill of the view, relax on the sleek white sofa next to the illuminated circular bar and sip a cocktail. Try the flavorless salt and pepper calamari rings, as well as the Avocado Mash Toast. The sticky, spicy wings of chicken slathered in barbeque sauce, on the other hand, are the hero’s dish.
What’s better than securing a table inside this Juhu hotspot is securing one on the slatted floor deck, which features dreamy cabanas. This seaside restaurant with spectacular views is also ideal for tourists. The atmosphere is relaxed, friendly, and enjoyable. Like chef Rohan D’Souza’s cuisine. Everything you eat is brave and memorable, but a few dishes live on in your dreams. Signature shots on the table include the Zatar cauliflower puree and carrot foam, as well as the barbecue baby ribs flambé. It’s also a pleasure to work with the staff. They lean in close to your table to explain and enjoy the dishes. You obviously enjoy what you’re doing.
Arrive early to secure a seat, then order your first sangria (with perhaps steamed edamame on the side). After that, watch the birds and get lost in the rhythmic wave percussion until you reach the last order.
Restaurants aren’t always about the food; sometimes it’s all about the atmosphere. Gallops is a calm oasis and one of Mumbai’s most charming dining spots, with white picket fences, fairy lights hanging in the breeze from the trees, and candles. Dining here comes with the added benefit of a luxurious green race. Food is similar to service in the ancient world. The fingers are fantastic, and the Seekh Bhutte ki transports you to Chowpatty Beach. But it’s the Chicken A La Kiev that’ll haunt your gullible dreams. A perfectly charred baked Alaska could be a contender for the city’s best dessert.
Cecconi’s, Soho House, Juhu
Visit this stylish but relaxed area at sunset, when wood, rattan panels, and handmade brass lights create a green oasis. Request a window seat for the best view of the undulating waves and the sun below the horizon. It’s the ideal setting for chef Luca D’Amora’s classic Italian fare (think crusty pizzas and moist pasta). The lemon aioli calamari fritti has the perfect amount of salt, crunch, and chewing. With rosemary and charred potatoes, the lambs are slow-cooked and tender. The best dish, however, is an excellent Aperol with a deeply satisfying parma ham and burrata pizza.
Silver Beach Cafe, Bandra
This chic European-style bistro has recently opened its third location in Bandra, with a larger area offering indoor and outdoor seating. Misbah Kapadia, the interior designer, has warmly added wooden tables and chairs to the outdoor area. The curved layout creates the impression of a casual, neighbourhood café where you can grab a quick bite. The extensive menu, on the other hand, includes a variety of delicacies such as asparagus with champagne sauce risotto, sausage-paste chilli eggs, keto-friendly dishes, flourless chocolate turquoise cake, and more.
Asilo, The St Regis Hotel, Lower Parel
Asilo is India’s highest rooftop lounge, with a view of Mumbai. The open-air area is located on the 40th floor of the hotel and provides a bird’s eye view of the sea and cityscape. If you want to book a private area, it also has cabanas and secluded areas. Asilo offers sumptuous food to make your meal memorable, as well as classic and signature cocktails. Tapas, grills, barbecues, kebabs, shawarmas, and other options are available.
Gadda da Vida, Novotel Hotel, Juhu
Another Juhu lounge on our list is Gadda da Vida. The beachfront area is ideal for sunbathers sipping cocktails and sipping wine. If you enjoy watching sunsets, this lounge has a fantastic view as well as a casual and romantic atmosphere. The open-air seating is a popular hangout for locals. The food is a mix of Indian favourites like Jodhpuri aloo Tikki chaat and kalongi fish tikka, tacos, pan-fried scallops, brick oven pizzas, and so on.
Breeze Lounge, Powai
This upscale residential suburb has also become a popular choice for visitors seeking a variety of options. Breeze Lounge, which offers views of the city and Powai Lake, is ideal for a day or some time with friends. Choose dishes from Italy, Mexico, and the Mediterranean, such as quesadillas, hummus, and ravioli, and pair them with your favourite mood. Alternatively, pair a hot soup bowl with sandwiches and salads.

As a wedding invitation designer, I had so many ideas of what I wanted mine to look like. I played around with a couple different themes in my head but as our vision for the wedding began to take form, I narrowed it down to one particular style.
I knew we would have an all outdoors, midsummer wedding so I wanted to capture the light and airiness of the setting. Our wedding colors were gray, sage with pops of yellow and orange so we translated that into the design. I watercolored a portrait of us from our engagement shoot, which you could see [here] and even included the olive branch bouquet I had. I love greeneries and leaves so naturally, that became a part of our P + D wedding logo. It was reflected in little details like the map, envelope and the wax seal. I love sealing all the envelopes using this wax seal stamp I got from Nostalgic Impressions and it tied the whole look together.
In addition to paperie goods, I experimented with different mediums like wood, fabric, glass and mirror to add additional texture. My favorite DIY project was the life sized fabric backdrop where I lettered 1 Corinthians 13 verses. It didn't photograph very well due to all of the shadows from the trees, but I'm so happy with the way it came out and we now have it hanging in our kitchen. 1 Corinthians 13 is such a good reminder of what love should look like and I love that we got to repurpose our wedding item as a home decor piece. See a photo of how it looks in our home [here] & [here]
My other favorite piece is this watercolor portrait guest book poster, which looks so good with all the signatures added. I'm so glad we decided to go with a framed poster instead of a guestbook so we can have it have it hanging on the wall rather than hidden in a bookshelf. You can see what it looks like after it's been scribbled on with love notes [here]
You can even get your own portrait guestbook poster [here]
I can't wait to share the rest of our wedding photos with you in the next post. Stay tuned!

The lights are on
Last year at E3, Ubisoft surprised the world with the reveal of full-fledged naval combat in Assassin's Creed III. While beautiful and entertaining, commanding a boat was limited to relatively brief and isolated missions. With Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, the team at Ubisoft Montreal is blowing out that core concept and fully embracing a seamless world ready to be explored.
Watch the video below to hear the game's director, writer, and art director talk about the variety of the setting, the new systems in place such as boarding, and why they hope you'll fall in love with your ship called the Jackdaw.
Learn more about Assassin's Creed IV by reading our full preview or by watching another video interview on why the team chose a pirate fantasy.
Email the author Ben Hanson, or follow on Twitter, and Game Informer.
This game looks like episode 5 of Sly 3. That's a very good thing.
Game sounds interesting now trying to save 65 bucks again for October jeez
Will they finally stop with this "aliens from the future" nonsense? Then I might be interested.
They should have went with a present day one
you think they would focus on fixing AC3 first. On xbox 360 at least horse riding is impossible which would not be an issue if it wasn't required and targeting is nonexistent
hey will you guys take a survey for my english 102 class please? I need people to fill it out www.surveymonkey.com/.../ZMWGQNK
I'm not even excited for this, but if this game actually turns out to be good, I might consider getting it.
I'm excited & already want to see some gameplay.
I like the idea of blocked content based on the strength of ships. An open-world pirate game just sounds so awesome. This really does seem like it could function as its own pirate IP, but it sounds like it should fit within the world of Assassin's Creed.

How much more useful would Google Search results be if they displayed real-time content? For example, if you searched last week for information on the Amtrak crash in Philadelphia, it might have taken longer than your patience could handle before a news outlet had any up-to-the-minute information on it that would display as a news result in Google’s listings for that search. Starting today, that will no longer be an issue as Google has teamed up with Twitter to add Tweets to search results, giving you real-time info as it happens through the voices of those on Twitter. (more…)
Quietly over on the Android Developers Google+ page, Google announced custom voice actions today for third party apps. They are currently piloting this new integration with select partners like NPR and Shazam, but are actively seeking additional app developers to join in on the fun. (more…)
Back in January, Google announced that it was allowing 3rd party apps to work with Google Now for the first time; 40 of them to be exact. This was huge news because it meant that your favorite non-Google apps could start to give you relevant, perfectly timed information in your Google Now stream just as you need it, in the way that Google attempts to do with transit info, the weather, and your travel plans. Today, they expanded the program by allowing another 70 new partners to get in on the fun. (more…)
Because an increasing number of Google searches happen these days from mobile devices (read: smartphones), Google has decided to reward those who have mobile-friendly websites with higher search rankings. Starting today, Google is expanding its use of “mobile-friendliness” as a ranking signal in its algorithm of searches made from phones and potentially placing a mobile-friendly site much higher in results than one that isn’t so friendly.
What does this mean for you? (more…)
Soon, when you search Google for something, the search results will include related apps to your search whether you have them installed or not. Up until today, you may have seen apps show up in search results as having related content, but only if they were already installed on your phone. Thanks to Google’s expanding app indexing of content, search results are now smart enough to find apps that have the info you want even if they aren’t on your phone. (more…)
You can now go to Google.com in a web browser and type “Find my phone” to see the exact location of your potentially-lost device. How cool is that?
Google will now locate your phone through Google Search, just like it does in the Android Device Manager app. All you need is the latest version of the Google (Search) app installed and this should work. It may ask that you sign-in to your Google account before it completes the task, but seriously, that’s it, at least according to a G+ post today from the search giant. (more…)
That title isn’t clickbait. I’m not even kidding with this one. You can say “send a Hangouts message” in Google Now, with your voice, and it will actually send a message in Hangouts with your voice. I don’t know when this went live, but it’s live. It will ask who you want to send it to, then what your message is, before confirming that you want to send. We aren’t talking SMS here – this is legitimate Hangouts messaging with your voice.
You still think I’m joking, I know. I get why you would think that I’m joking. Seriously, though, go try it.
Thanks to Google, you no longer have to have the mind of a mixologist in order to be able to whip up a cocktail on the fly. Through Google Search results on mobile, you can ask Google how to make your cocktail of choice and the results will give you everything you need, from the ingredients and their measurements, to if it should be stirred or shaken or which type of glassware you should use.
How complete is your life now? (more…)

This week, President Obama touted the success of the government-engineered rescue of GM and Chrysler as evidence of a return of U.S. manufacturing. Despite that success, Republican White House hopefuls Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney say the auto bailout was the wrong move to revive the economy.


The Badlands were a hard rock group at the tail end of the 1980s. Jake E. Lee who was the second guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne was fired by Ozzy Osbourne after making a couple of albums with him and started this band.
They had a strong first album with Dreams In the Dark as one of their big songs. Looking at the music video for this album, you have to wonder why Ozzy Osbourne would fire Jake E. Lee from being his guitarist in the first place because you can tell that Jake E. Lee was a talented guitarist.
Ozzy Osbourne was dealing with a lot of drugs during the 1980s and can’t remember half of the stuff he did then including a bizarre music video he made for the Ultimate Sin song, so I guess firing Jake E. Lee must’ve made sense to him at the time but now looking back on it might have been a mistake.
Instead of deciding to quit, though, Jake E. Lee and the Badlands rose up through the underground ranks to be quite a cult favorite of hard core rock and metal fans. Their bluesy, southern style of music emulates Led Zeppelin. Dreams In the Dark is quite a rocker with a great solo.
After Badlands broke up Jake E. Lee disappeared completely from the public eye to make some instrumental albums in the last fifteen years. Badlands was probably the last group that the skilled guitarist was in and had any noteworthy success.

"Perfect for classroom valentine exchange!!! My daughter loved handing these out and her friends loved receiving them. We ordered inexpensive peace sign pins to put in the envelopes."
"These were perfect for my son to give out to his friends! The card stock is a nice weight and I love the colors in the design - great for boys to give out! I "upgraded" to the red envelopes (just five cents each) - they were also a nice weight. I'm glad I chose them."
"Every year I order my sons valentine's day cards from you. Every year I am so happy when the cards arrive. He is 9 and still wants to send out your cards. We have friends whose children have saved his cards from year to year. I love this product and hope we have a few more years to send out these valentines :)"
"My son helped me pick out this card to use for his 4 year old preschool classmates. He really wanted a card that the boys and the girls would like and thought this was a good one. Having his picture on the inside is so cute. He also picked the red envelopes to put them in. Based on this card we did a "you rock" theme for his goodie bags. We ordered guitar-shaped bubble bottle necklaces and Valentine's rock and roll stickers from another website to put in the bags with these cards. Very cute!"
"I ordered Valentine's for 4 of my grandchildren...all were great quality...this "Etch a Sketch" design is just so cute. The front of the card does look just like the front of an Etch A Sketch...my grand-daughter is 8 and is thrilled with them!"

OAKLAND, Calif. — In a victory for fighters against police brutality, the San Leandro cop who shot and killed Steven Taylor April 18 in a Walmart store there has been charged with voluntary manslaughter.
Alameda County District Attorney Nancy E. O’Malley announced Sept. 2 that she had brought the felony charges against officer Jason Fletcher. If convicted, he would face up to 11 years in prison. Fletcher is the first cop in Alameda County to be charged in an on-duty shooting in more than a decade.
The cop fired a Taser at Taylor and then shot him dead when the 33-year-old Black father of three didn’t obey his command to drop a baseball bat he was holding. Taylor’s family has said he was in the throes of a mental health crisis.
“Mr. Taylor was struggling to remain standing as he pointed the bat at the ground,” the charges say, and “posed no threat of imminent deadly force or serious bodily injury to defendant Fletcher or anyone else in the store.”
“From the time Officer Fletcher entered the store to the time he shot and killed Mr. Taylor, less than 40 seconds elapsed,” the DA said. The Walmart was crowded with shoppers at the time.
Addie Kitchen, Taylor’s grandmother, who joined his mother, Sharon Taylor, to help lead the four-month fight to have the cop publicly identified, arrested and charged, told this Militant worker-correspondent in a telephone discussion, “We will continue to protest” to see that justice is won.
Several disciplined protests in downtown San Leandro at police headquarters and at the Walmart store over the course of several months led to the charges.
There was little media attention after the killing was first reported. But the massive protests all across the country that followed the cop killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis breathed new life into the fight.
“It’s good the charges were made,” Walmart worker Rosa-Lynn Lovett told me. “And good the protests that won it were peaceful, not tearing up stores. The stores are needed for people trying to make a living who are working there. People go there to buy things they need.”
Ariel Buckingham, a cashier at the Walmart where Taylor was killed who joined in pressing the DA to make an arrest, said, “It’s good if a huge outcry actually got him charged.”
“This is a victory in the fight to push back against police officers acting as judge, jury and executioner,” Joel Britton, Socialist Workers Party candidate for U.S. Congress in the 13th District, which includes San Leandro, said in a letter published in the Sept. 10 San Leandro Times. “Police violence is aimed at intimidating and punishing working people and falls most heavily on African Americans like Taylor.”
Britton participated in several protests against Taylor’s killing and got word out about the fight broadly through his campaign.

If you have digestive issues, skin problems, or overall health and diet issues, you may have come to the realization that it could be from a large amount of dairy you consume. If you’re curious to learn more, here are a few benefits of giving up dairy.
Your Cancer Risk Drops Massively
Believe it or not, a benefit may be that you reduce your risk from cancer. Researchers in Europe have been able to predict cancer in patients, noting that adult women who drink more than a glass of milk a day increase their chances of getting ovarian cancer by more than half. That would be bad news for anyone, but it’s particularly troubling for families that have a history of cancer. In men, instances of cancer increase by more than a 3rd, so if you or someone you know has a history of cancer in their family, then you might want to let them know their options. There are a variety of great milk replacements on the market that are delicious and marginally more expensive.
It Reduces Stress on Your Body
Researchers have linked milk to different forms of oxidative stress on the tissues of the body. These minor issues won’t be a problem right away, but they can slowly erode your general health by laying the ground for the possibility of disease. Some figures suggest an increase in deaths as high as 13%. Currently, it’s thought to be because of a type of sugar found in milk. These agitations of your system can cause flare-ups of chronic diseases, like Crohn’s. Acidity and other pH issues can also cause aggravation that can even damage the DNA in cells, which can result in cancer.
Your Skin Might Clear Up
A lot of people have low-level allergies to certain foods, and milk is among the most common food items to trigger such a muted response in people. Many people experience some form of dairy intolerance and shrug it off due to the benign nature of the symptoms. Few recognize that gas and bloating are signals that tell you something in your digestive process isn’t functioning properly, but some allergies can be confused for normal things like acne. For some, the presence of dairy can cause their skin to clog with excess fats that make you a perfect breeding ground for all sorts of acid-producing bacteria. Cutting back or eliminating milk can reduce much of the appearance of the blemishes and allow your body to deal with fats more efficiently.
If you’re going to give up dairy, you might want to boost your health by adding Life Enzyme into your diet. It contains more than 150 herbs, fruits, and veggies, making it very rich in vitamins and minerals. Get it here only at Orgaanics!

Even though I had tried to harden everything, it showed some sun damage.

A man who police said tried to stop a beer run at a Circle K in west Phoenix was shot and killed Friday night.
Lance Taylor, 23, was with his wife and mother in front of the convenience store near 43rd Avenue and McDowell Road about 9 p.m. when a man in his late teens or early 20s entered the store acting suspicious, said Trent Crump, a spokesman for the Phoenix Police Department.
The man, police said, went to a cooler and took two 30 packs of beer and walked toward the exit when Taylor blocked his path and told him to return the beer. Taylor confronted the man because he knew the employees there and wanted to help, Crump said.
The man did what he was told and as he was leaving he took a handgun from his waistband and started waving it and yelling at store employees and Taylor. Taylor backed away from the man and as the man left the store gun in hand, he met with Taylor's wife who was opening the door, Crump said. The man said something to the woman then hit her in the head with his pistol, police said.
After seeing his wife struck, Taylor came up behind the man outside of the store and was shot in front of his wife and mother.
The Phoenix Fire Department treated his wound and took him to St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center but he died of his injuries. Taylor's wife suffered a minor head injury.
Crump said the assailant either fled east on McDowell Road or got into a brown-colored two-door Chevrolet Malibu.
Crump said he is asking anyone with information to call Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS and for Spanish at 480-TESTIGO.
"The arrogance that this suspect showed in this is chilling, and we're asking for the public's help in locating this individual," Crump said.
The man is considered armed and dangerous.
"We need to get this person off the street he shot and killed this good samaritan who was trying to help last night in cold blood," Crump said.
Surveillance camera photos show a man entering a west Phoenix Circle K and later confronting a woman as he is leaving on Friday in a beer-stealing incident that escalated into a fatal shooting. Police are looking for the man.

A common cause of failure with Surface-Controlled Sub-Surface Safety Valves (SC-SSSV) is a defect in the downhole hydraulic line, which controls the valve from surface. Such a failure (Control-Line (CL) leaking or plugged) generates production losses and requires the intervention of a costly workover rig – usually not immediately available. A large number of wells have been closed in due to CL problems.
This paper presents a pilot test of a "control-line free" Wireline-Retrievable (WR) SC-SSSV concept, which replaced a conventional Subsurface Safety Valve and maintained the well producing under surface controlled conditions without the need for a work over or wellhead modifications.
A Wire line retrievable, flapper type self-equalizing Safety Valve has been interfaced with an HPU (Hydraulic Power Unit) and downhole electronics, which are operated by an electromagnetic signal transmitted from surface through the formation and using the conductivity of the tubing. The surface emitter continuously sends a signal (low frequency) to the SC-SSSV. As the system is designed to be fail-safe, the normally-closed valve remains open while receiving the signal and closes as soon as the signal is lost. This control line free SC-SSSV can be set in any landing nipple profile. It has been installed by normal wire line operation in active onshore oil producing well for three months using a standard SC-SSSV lock mandrel.
25 periodic functional tests consisting of closing the valve and bleeding down the tubing pressure to confirm the integrity of the well pressure containment below the closed valve were performed for validation.
The primary application is to secure wells with a damaged CL or wells completed without any SC-SSSV. It provides an immediate cost-effective solution – allowing production to resume with a surface-controllable safety barrier while avoiding or postponing an expensive work over.
The pilot test has been successfully carried out over the 90 day period in a harsh environment onshore well usually equipped with SC-SSSV. The wellhead was fitted with two sensors: one pressure transducer on the flow line and one temperature probe connected to the surface emitter (for fire hazard detection) to act as temporary ESD for this test. Adjustable thresholds were set to switch off the surface emitter and shut-in the well in the event of any anomalies. Two unplanned events occurred during the 90 days pilot test: a temperature probe breakdown and a surface antenna disconnection. In both cases, the EM-signal was interrupted and the SC-SSSV closed and secured the well.
Temporary solutions, such as the normally-open velocity or ambient valves, can be considered according to current safety policy but lacks ability to be connected to an emergency shut down system. The Electromagnetic "control line free" SC-SSSV provides an effective and reliable surface controlled solution in the event of control line failure, or lack of hydraulic control system, on a standard SC-SSSV installation tied in to an existing emergency shut down system.
This breakthrough wireline product has proven to be easy to install and offers new possibilities for managing in a safe and effective manners the unexpected failures of hydraulic SC-SSSV.

Financial Aid Against. Scholar Financial Obligation: Information You Need
This earlier few days, I came across two excellent reports superiorpapers com review items about school funding and student loan personal debt. The school funding article confirmed exactly how alumni providing can affect school funding. The student loan obligations post reinforced my personal cautions regarding the effects of extortionate borrowing from the bank to fund college. The two content articles are a great news duo that is news-bad.
1st the great: Michael Bloomberg: Why i am providing $1.8 Billion for college or university Financial Aid. That title boggled my personal attention ( it does not capture much to achieve that these days). Ever actually thought about how much a billion dollars try, let alone $1.8 billion? Let’s pause a brief moment to think about that matter.
These days, we often hear about the national debt, which, unfortunately, is expressed in trillions of dollars in the news. Thinking a trillion cash is really a subject for another topic. For the present time, why don’t we merely stay with a billion, especially Michael Bloomberg’s $1.8 billion. I did a little research and found this article that is interesting HOW-TO INVEST $1 BILLION IN TWENTY FIVE YEARS. Wouldn’t of course you like to truly have a challenge like that?
Anyway, to give you some idea in regards to the magnitude of the solitary billion bucks, below are a few features with this fancifully instructive article:

Mission Accomplished For Transatlantic Rower

GC Media, Lisa Samuels
Brooklyn, New York - For World AIDS Day, Victor Mooney didn't touch an oar. Thanks to the New York Methodist Hospital dedicated staff, they are giving Mr. Mooney 24/7 attentive care.
He is just recuperating from exhaustion, cold weather and the elements in the ocean.
The culmination of Mr. Mooney's 5,000 mile transatlantic row ended successfully at the Brooklyn Bridge on November 30, which took twenty-one months. A ten year quest that took four boats and three failed attempts.
On arrival at the Brooklyn Bridge, Mr. Mooney said, honor this row by getting tested for HIV.

Tonara (Free) by Tonara Ltd. is a sheet music app with one important distinction: it listens to you. You might think that sounds a little creepy, and wonder why such a feature would be important.
If you’ve ever played an instrument using sheet music, then you know how troublesome it can be to turn the page. Even with other iPad sheet music apps, you still have to swipe, leaving potentially ugly gaps in your performance. Tonara changes that by listening to you play, following your every note and turning the page for you at the appropriate time. It’s like having your piano instructor on stage with you during a recital, if said instructor was an invisible robot.
To use this feature, you just turn on the “Tonara Magic” toggle at the top of the score you’re playing. Make no mistake -- it's like magic. When you start playing, Tonara listens and a red line follows your position, just waiting for the right moment to turn the page.
The other great thing that happens when you turn the magic on is that it records your performance. This can be great for critiquing your own practice sessions or capturing a one of a kind performance. Once recorded, you can share it via Facebook, Twitter or email.
There are a slew of options at your disposal. The default setting for page turns is a third of a measure from the end, but the options range from zero to two, depending on your preference. Additionally, you can make the red line disappear, toggle repeats, and decide whether or not your current tempo is displayed.
My only quibble with Tonara is that it doesn’t handle mistakes all that well. If you just keep going when a mistake occurs, you’ll be fine. However, if you’re practicing and fumble until the right notes are hit, that red line will likely go on without you.
There were several times when I hit a wrong note (or five) and went back a couple of measures only to have Tonara think I played it perfectly. It’s somewhat flattering, but I would rather have it be where I am, instead of a few measures down the page. So, if you’re practicing a new piece, I’d recommend turning the magic off and handling the page turns yourself.
The app itself is free, and comes with six scores to get you started. Additional scores are available to purchase, in-app, most of which cost just $0.99. There are many to choose from, with more supposedly being added all the time. Instruments currently include cello, flute, piano, violin and voice.
Tonara is a really interesting concept that works well overall. I would really like to see their library expanded further so that this technology can be applied to everything you want to play.
If you frequently play from sheet music, or just want to see it in action, definitely check this one out. After all, it’s free!

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine and spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
The Beauty of Darkness (The Remnant Chronicles, #3): Mary E. Pearson
Publication Date: May 10th, 2016
I'm not even sure if this is the current publication date anymore. I talked to a publicist and she had told me the publication date was pushed back a bit. Regardless, I'm extremely excited for this book. I have no idea how Mary E. Pearson is going to finish up Lia's story, but I trust her. *Team Kaden*. I think my ship is sinking, though. *sobs in a corner*.
Cassie's Waiting On:
Publication Date: May 3, 2016
Feyre survived Amarantha's clutches to return to the Spring Court--but at a steep cost. Though she now has the powers of the High Fae, her heart remains human, and it can't forget the terrible deeds she performed to save Tamlin's people.
Nor has Feyre forgotten her bargain with Rhysand, High Lord of the feared Night Court. As Feyre navigates its dark web of politics, passion, and dazzling power, a greater evil looms--and she might be key to stopping it. But only if she can harness her harrowing gifts, heal her fractured soul, and decide how she wishes to shape her future--and the future of a world cleaved in two.
I think everyone knows how excited I am for this novel considering A Court of Thorns and Roses was my #1 favorite book of 2015! I can't wait to see where Sarah J. Maas takes this story. Her writing has come so far, and every book she writes is better than the last. This is bound to be an automatic favorite of 2016, and is one of my most anticipated reads on my TBR list!

Race night and football awards ceremony hits the back of the net for Parkinson’s UK
Patrick Williams, 45, from Hanham, Bristol is busy organising a race night to raise funds and awareness for Parkinson’s UK. Patrick is the founder of the Bristol Inner City Advanced Development Centre who coach children to play football.
Patrick and staff at the Centre chose Parkinson’s UK as the beneficiary of the evening as local man John Coombes, 60, is living with Parkinson’s. John is the father of Under 11 player, Shaun Coombes.
Patrick explains: “Parkinson’s UK has been there every step of the way to support John and his family after he was diagnosed with the condition, which is why we wanted to help the charity.
“I don’t think people know enough about Parkinson’s, so I’m hoping that we will be able to raise awareness of the condition as well as vital funds.”
The event, which incorporates the Centre’s end of season player awards, takes place at the Cleve Rugby Club, Cossham Street, Mangotsfield, Bristol on Friday 31 May from 6.30pm – 11pm.
Paul Jackson-Clark, Director of Fundraising at Parkinson’s UK, said: “Hosting a race night is a great way to raise awareness and funds for Parkinson’s UK.
“As the UK’s Parkinson’s support and research charity we’re leading the work to find a cure, and we’re closer than ever. But our work is dependent on donations. We are incredibly grateful to Patrick and the friends of the Bristol Inner City Advanced Development Centre for their support.”
The race night will contain eight races and will begin at 8.30pm.
There will be a chance to take part in a penalty shootout and to bid on items in an auction from a bottle of champagne, beauty products and many more prizes to be confirmed.
The funds raised from the evening will be donated to local branches of Parkinson’s UK, to improve the lives of those living with Parkinson’s in the South West.
Admission is on the day by purchasing a raffle ticket on the door. For further information, to sponsor a race or to make a donation to Parkinson’s UK contact us.

I was walking down the street with my scarf and my hat.
When the wind went wild and took my sack.
Presents flowed out and went down drains,
while me and my hat rolled down Riddle Lane.
The reindeer were gone,
and my sleigh was in the sea.
Me and my hat, where could we be?
Without the sleigh on this day,
Christmas could only happen with delay.
I picked myself up and steadied my legs
put on my hat and started to dance.
I smiled with huge joyful tears;
I had found one of my precious reindeers.
Dasher was here by my side,
with my sleigh, we can finally ride!
We stopped by homes and placed the presents.
I ate first and Dasher ate second.
We went for a hunt to find the reindeer,
Donner and Dancer were first, I cheered!
It’s time to go home up in the snow,
good night to summer
and to all the black crows!

In a short trailer, Nintendo announced the release of a new playable Super Smash Bros. stage, this time modelled after Super Mario Maker. The stage features a randomly generated layout inspired by the free-form building tools in Super Mario Maker with the platforms and elements snapping into place at the start of each round.
This is the latest in an extensive line of DLC support for Super Smash Bros. and will be available on both Wii U and 3DS on September 30. The price point is set at $2.49 for one version, or $3.49 for both. Previous stage DLC has been accompanied by a compatibility patch to allow online play on the stage without a prior purchase.

Big Brother Canada Season 8 Ceasing Production Immediately Due To Coronavirus, No Winner Will Be Declared
Global has announced that Big Brother Canada season 8 is ceasing production immediately due to the coronavirus pandemic.
In a statement, host Arisa Cox confirmed on behalf of Global and Insight Productions that the show would be stopping production right away.
“Big Brother Canada is a labour of love for so many, and even though it hurts to say goodbye to the season, it’s the right thing to do,” she said, according to Global News. “On behalf of the incredible people who put this show together, thank you to everyone who started this journey with us. Please take care and be safe!”
According to the report, Houseguests will be able to use their social media as of April 1 and there will be no official winner for season 8. The show also has no plans to resume production on the current season and will wrap with two final episodes airing Wednesday, March 25 at 7 p.m. ET/PT and Wednesday, April 1 at 7 p.m. ET/PT.
To say this has been a difficult season for production would be an understatement.
As previously reported, Insight Productions were taking crucial steps to protect both the Houseguests and staff amid the coronavirus pandemic but obviously, it just wouldn’t have been enough.
According to an announcement from the show just this week, many new procedures had been put in place.
“Insight is taking every precaution to keep our crew and house guests safe on Big Brother Canada while delivering programming to audiences across the country when they need it most,” the production company said in a statement.
“The safety of the crew and house guests is paramount to Insight and as such we are taking every precaution to ensure a healthy set and workplace. Many additional practices have been implemented including, but not limited to, placing sanitizers at every entrance; daily professional cleaning and disinfection of all edit suites, control rooms, studio spaces, and offices; elimination of the live audience; adjusting the creative so that more staff can work from home, etc.”
“Insight and Corus continue to aggressively monitor the production and are constantly evaluating our practices and adjusting if necessary,” continues the statement. “The onsite crew members are checked for symptoms prior to entry on a daily basis.
“We are continuing to keep our staff and house guests updated on a regular basis as the situation evolves.”
Jamar Lee Removed
Before the coronavirus pandemic heated up, production was dealing with another set of issues on the show.
As previously reported, Houseguest Jamar Lee was removed from the house after a “tense” house meeting. After the shocking news broke, production and Lee confirmed the removal in a set of statements.
“Insight Productions has made the difficult decision to remove a houseguest as a result of behaviour which occurred that was a breach of the Big Brother house rules,” read a statement from Insight Productions.
“We at Global and Insight Productions take the rules of this competition seriously and with respect to all houseguests past and present, the confines of the Big Brother house can be trying, sometimes leading to a clash of opinions and emotions in an isolated environment,” continued the statement. “We handle these situations with care and caution, protecting the well-being of our houseguests and ensuring the integrity of this long-standing production.”
“I take full responsibility for my actions – I lost my cool and that’s not OK. I’ve always stood behind what I believe in and I’m sorry if I let people down,” Lee said in his statement. “I want to thank everyone for their love and support, it really means a lot… this isn’t the last of me! You feel me?”
At this time, the network has not announced plans for another season of Big Brother Canada.

One flower that captivated Darwin was the Madagascar Orchid, with it's
eleven inch-long receptacle. He predicted that
somewhere in Magagascar, a place he never visited, must live a moth with a
proboscis eleven inches long, adapted to harvest the orchid's nectar. Forty
years later, two entomologists revealed the discovery of a Madagascan sphinx
moth, confirming Darwin's forecast. Such mutual adaptation -- the moth to the
flower, the flower to the moth -- is called co-evolution.

Gargano sea: the pride of Puglia
Gargano, a chalky promontory, is situated in northern Puglia and extends over an area of more than 2000 kmq, jutting out into the Adriatic sea and this is why it is defined as “spur of Italy”.
All along the Mediterranean coastlines, you are unlikely to happen upon such a place as the Gargano National Park, the only large protected area in Puglia, which contains a rich biodiversity in a relatively small area. You will discover a microcosm, a biological island. In this corner of the Adriatic sea you can enjoy a one-day trip through the mediterranean natural range, discovering many different habitats within very few kilometres.
The Park vegetation ranges from thick woods to tangled shrubbery of mediterranean scrub, from impressive karst plateaus to steep cliffs overhanging above the splendid Gargano sea and dotted with wonderful caves, from steep-sided and wooded valleys sloping down towards the coastline to the coast lagoon of Lesina and Varano or the Frederick II Marshes. Also the Tremiti Islands, only archipelago in Puglia, surrounded by a crystal-clear sea and rich in caves, are of great importance to the Gargano National Park.

Newcastle United news: Ex-Fifa official issues verdict as controversial Chris Wood footage analysed
Wolves can have no complaints with the decision to award Newcastle United a penalty in their 1-0 win on Friday night (8 April), according to Keith Hackett.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the ex-Fifa and Premier League referee hailed Peter Bankes’ performance at St. James’ Park including the penalty decision.
Chris Wood was brought down by Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa in the 72nd minute and Bankes immediately pointed to the spot.
The 30-year-old converted the penalty to net his first Newcastle goal at St. James’ Park.
“I think that was a penalty,” Hackett said after analysing the footage with Football Insider correspondent Connor Whitley.
“Peter Bankes was in a good position and made a sound judgement.
Subscribe to Football Insider TV now
“This referee, he’s had nine Premier League games and he should be getting more games. He’s one of the better referees in the Premier League and I can’t understand why he’s not getting more games.
“Look at how he’s up with play and he’s got himself a viewing angle with a great position. That’s a penalty kick.
“My view is that Peter Bankes should be getting more games. Nine this season is not enough.
“He’s fit enough, he’s mobile enough, he’s mature enough and he’s a good referee. Why aren’t you using him more?
“This was a good decision and a good piece of refereeing.”
Bankes will take charge of his 10th Premier League game of the season when Southampton host Arsenal on Saturday (16 April).
Newcastle take on Leicester City the following day in the Premier League.
