""Excuse me, are you American?"" Dnipropetrovsk by lemkouk
Dnipropetrovsk Travel Guide: 87 reviews and 315 photos
When I was visiting the Music Academy, the former City Hall in the Czarist period, a well dressed businessman came up to me and asked, "Excuse me, are you American?" I explained that I was Canadian, and he said it didn't really matter. He invited me to speak to a meeting of business persons who gathered to learn and practise speaking English. Unfortunately I was leaving in just a couple of hours and could not participate. But boy, would I have liked to do that since I am an active member of our local Board of Trade. Maybe it is indicative of the climate of this thriving city – open and striving for better.
Dnipropetrovsk was founded in 1776 by Prince Potemkin, the Governor of South Russia newly taken from the Ottoman Empire. Under Czarina Catharine II, he was to build it 20 versets long and 15 versets wide. Although the Czarina's commands took more than her lifetime to complete, the city has become much larger than that. And the Cathedral was many years in the building. There must always have been unfinished buildings standing for long stretches of the cities history.
Today's unfinished buildings of Ukraine are interesting. Every city has some. This one has undergone some changes in its unfinished state. Locals told me that homeless people now use it. The building used to simply show its concrete face. Now however it has been turned into a giant billboard for a bank! Go figure.
This is part of the Red Cross hospital built ca. 1900. It was used as a training centre for medics bound for the Russian front in WWI. Part of it is in use as a pharmacy. Much is empty. Across the street was a non-descript 5 storey building which had been KGB headquarters during the Soviet era. Detainees were tortured in the cellars there. What contrasts!
Any city on the Dnipro River will have boats giving river tours. From the Dnipro you will see the port and bridges, but... more travel advice
Prince Potemkin (yes the one who made false villages for the travel pleasure of Qeen Catharine the Great) wanted to... more travel advice

The event, sponsored by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Snohomish Health District, involved the MLT Police Department headquarters taking the unusual step of being open on a Saturday to allow for people who are not able to get to the medication drop site during the normal work week.
“There was a good turnout resulting in an overflow of medications brought in,” said Police Department Records Specialist Beth Menstell. “We had to stand by the drop bin because no more would fit inside.”
Unwanted medicines are accepted at the police station, located at 5906-232nd St. S.W., anytime Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., except holidays.
The city will be accepting medications again at the annual Police Memorial and Open House on Wednesday, May 15, from just after 6 p.m., following the memorial, until 8 p.m. It is preferred but not required that medications are kept in their original containers. The only information recorded is the zip code of the depositor; otherwise names and other information on the medication containers should be blacked out.

unfortantely thats the best my crappy digital can do. If a plug is carbon fouled is the white portion all black??? From the pics on plug conditions sites it appears that way. I noticed that while everything else was black as hell on my plugs the white part was still white. One plug appeared to have a little bit of black on the white part so I should proubaly replace that one. Thanks

The C64 version works perfectly fine in WinVICE (at least the version 3.1 r33405 I used)
One needs to enable "True Drive Emulation" and be patient during the initial loading process (use LOAD "*",8,1 to properly begin the loading sequence)
Be patient for about 60 seconds during the black screen.
After the intro screen, then a fastloader will be used to quickly load the rest of the game

"Alternate Reality" was a remarkable series for the mid 1980's, a pity it was never completed and ended with The Dungeon. There were many concepts in this game that wouldn't be fully realized for more than a decade, such as a hidden morality system with real consequences, multiple guilds with their own membership requirements and quest lines, and the ability to transfer characters back and forth between games seamlessly (though with only two games finished it was kind of pointless).

Well, I'm back again with some more Tarkusian Cities . . . at long last, we'll be finishing up the Chemeketa Parkway.
Chemeketa Parkway (Highway 215): Phase 4 (Ashcroft to Highway 15)
As we left off last time, with Phase 3B, the Chemeketa Parkway (Highway 215) had been built up to (and slightly past) Ashcroft Street NE, almost to its eventual endpoint at the West Oregon Freeway (Highway 15). Here's the map again for reference purposes:
This final segment of the highway will involve the construction of new interchanges at Rankine Lane NE and Highway 15, as well as the reconstruction of the 99th Avenue NE interchange on Highway 15 to minimize weaving conflicts.
What you're looking at here is the eventual "endpoint" of Highway 215. The existing highway there is Highway 15 (facing north).
This is at Rankine Lane NE, which will be getting an interchange (facing east).
In the interim, to help aid traffic flow in the area, the segment of Highway 215 from Ashcroft to Rankine has been built, but currently ends at Rankine with a signalized T-intersection (facing east).
Work on the overpass (facing north).
Work on the 15/215 interchange is also coming along nicely (facing north).
Ramp closures at the 99th Ave/Highway 15 interchange (facing south). It will be converted from a Diamond to a Parclo AB (Folded Diamond) as part of the project.
A majority of the work is now done on the 15/215 interchange (facing south). It's kind of a screwed-up trumpet: a flugelhorn, perhaps?
The Rankine Lane interchange has been built up as well . . . it's a SPUI, as the vicinity will be seeing quite a bit of development in the near future, and capacity is a must. The Rankine area is a fast-growing exurb of Chemeketa. (facing north)
This is one of the weirder aspects of the Highway 15/215 interchange: a "tail" ramp that connects Highway 215 up with Halpert Road NE. (facing west)
Work continues at Hwy 15/99th Ave (facing west).
The interchange has been closed off completely now--the overpass will be widened as part of the improvements (facing south).
The overpass is now open (facing south).
Another look at the "Flugelhorn Interchange" in action (facing west).
An even more zoomed out shot (facing west).
The completed Parclo conversion/widening at 99th Avenue (facing north). The change in design will give traffic coming from northbound 215 more space to merge onto mainline northbound 15.
Fast-forwarding a little, a look at some of the development that has sprung up along Rankine Lane at the interchange (facing north). We'll be taking a closer look at this area at some point in the not-too-distant future.
Well, that does it for this update, and for the Chemeketa Parkway project. We'll look at a few other little projects in the area and other developments there next time . . . I also have a new region or two that might sneak in--we'll see.
Hope you enjoyed it!

Sunderland cannot afford another ‘After the Lord Mayor’s Show’ display at Everton.
The Black Cats will arrive at Goodison Park still jubilant after winning their sixth successive derby but, in terms of the league at least, it will count for little unless they back up that result this lunchtime.
Four of Sunderland’s last five derby victories have been followed by defeats – three times at the hands of Hull City for Gus Poyet, and once at Crystal Palace for Dick Advocaat.
Sam Allardyce has picked up the baton and, after continuing the Black Cats’ derby winning run, he must now break the run of failure that follows.
The derby celebrations must not be cut short by a miserable day on Merseyside.
Don’t get me wrong, Everton are bound to be favourites to win at home – and with good reason.
But Sunderland must avoid defeat at all costs if they are to build some momentum.
If that means setting up with a more defensive shape, so be it. They are away from home, after all.
A win would be perfect but, in the circumstances, no-one would baulk at a draw. Derby victories have often proved to be turning points for Sunderland.
In April, it was the start of the run that saw the club reach safety under Advocaat; in October 2013 it was Sunderland’s first win of the season when Poyet had just arrived; and in April of that year it was the catalyst for survival under Paolo Di Canio.
This latest win – Sunderland’s first of the season – must be a turning point once more.
Sunderland must not allow this latest derby win to be nothing more than an isolated triumph surrounded by a sea of despair.

Iranian state companies to be privatised
Iranian state companies will be transferred into the private sector by the end of the Iranian year, namely the 20th of March 2017. The Managing Director of the Iranian Privatization Organization (IPO), Abdollah Pouri-Hosseini, said that 250 to 300 companies will be privatised by auctioning their shares.
This year, 120 companies have already been privatised and state shares worth about 160 million dollar have been transferred to the private sector. The IPO was founded 15 years ago and has since then privatised more than 1.000 state-run companies.

Planet Yeedil was home of the Megacorp Headquarters. It was here were Qwark had his base for operations. All sorts of new products came from the supply lines here, from household items to massively powerful weapons and gadgets. Megacorp's use of the planet had a lasting effect on the environment: the skies were full of brown and black clouds and smoke, and the planet possessed very little vegetation and few rivers. As Megacorp's largest center of industry, Yeedil was very heavily-defended.
At some point, Megacorp arrived on Yeedil and set up its HQ there. Later, during Megacorp's Protopet crisis, Ratchet and Clank arrived on Yeedil, only to discover that the perpetrator behind the crisis was Captain Qwark. When Qwark's meddling grossly mutated the Protopet, the duo were tested to their limits battling the monstrosity.

- According to the Galactic Map, Yeedil was the biggest planet in the Bogon Galaxy.
- When looking at Yeedil, it looks like it has continents close to each other.
- Yeedil's music (Outside) is later used in Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal's Multiplayer.

Saturn: The Eden Experiment: Christian Fantasy Suspense (The Eden Stories Book 5) Kindle Edition
Book Five in the Award-Winning Best-Selling Christian Fantasy Series by Terry Toler.
“An epic battle between good and evil.”
What if there has been life on every planet in our solar system? And God put on each planet, a Garden of Eden, an Adam and an Eve, and a tree of the knowledge of good and evil. What if every planet ate from the tree bringing sin to those people and they eventually destroyed themselves and that's why they are all desolate and uninhabitable? Is earth headed for that same fate?
That's what the award-winning fictional Eden Stories explores.
On Saturn, eons ago, Nephalim were conceived when demons had relations with humans. Years later, when the remains of one of the giants is discovered, an evil scientist used the DNA to create chones, superhuman beings who were unleashed on the battlefield against the Christians turning the war in their favor. Dr. Roger Forrester, the premier medical expert on Saturn, is tasked with stopping them. Would his own spiritual battle with temptation prevent him from succeeding?
“Very compelling story! Not a dull moment.”
In a real way, best-selling author, Terry Toler, brings to life the battle that is not against flesh and blood, but is in the heavenlies, manifesting in the lives of the characters with devastating consequences. Weaving Bible stories into the narrative.

About the author
Review this product
Top reviews from other countries
I enjoyed this book almost as much as its predecessors, just the dull ache that it was the final one, spoiled the pleasure.
It was a masterclass in twisting and turning of subterfuge, conspiracy of chessboard masters duelling.
Even more thorough the build up of credible characters, using biblical stories to help weave a wonderful story.
The biblical stories were used well, not in their true setting but carrying on part of their original meaning. A biblical savvy person would read extra layers into this series, some no doubt would call it sacrilege. However I'm more of a mind to say enough is used for anyone questioning any of the big life questions, to perhaps want to look to the original stories to discover their true context.
This book probably comes closest to describing the peace and serenity which comes from having a true relationship with God. The forgiveness of our own faults and failings, and the grace that in turn, gives to enable us to be free, to love and forgive others.
This series started out with an unusual premise which was captivating. However I can honestly say that if you enjoy action packed roller coaster rides, with enough thought provoking material to just have to scratch the itch this is one for you. Whilst each book is just about stands alone on it s merit, I would recommend reading the books in order.

ONCE upon a time in the 1980s, Malaysia was the world’s largest natural rubber producer. That honour now, however, belongs to Thailand and Indonesia.
Malaysia, though, remains the world largest producer of rubber-based products such as rubber gloves and condoms.
Ironically, when companies want to buy rubber from the open market, buyers have to get price quotations from Singapore Commodity Exchange, the Tokyo Commodity Exchange and to a lesser extent, the Malaysian Rubber Board.
No doubt, this is the work of powerful consumers such as tyre producers who want to dictate prices of the commodity to their advantage as they can’t grow rubber in their home countries.
Nevertheless, Malaysia’s rubber sector still contributes immensely to the national gross domestic product.
The palm oil sector, on the other hand, is a different story.
Since its debut in Malaysia in the 1960s, the crop has made tremendous progress, providing the country with more than RM70 billion in export earnings last year alone.
Even though Malaysia is now the world’s second largest producer after Indonesia, palm oil players from all over the world have always looked and still look at Kuala Lumpur or, to be specific, the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives, as their main reference point when it comes to finding out what the current crude palm oil (CPO) prices are.
But they also have other reference points to gauge from, such as in the Netherlands, Indonesia or mercantile exchanges in the United States and Europe.
But Kuala Lumpur still trumps them all.
So it was heartening to see more than 2,000 delegates from 50 countries flock again to Kuala Lumpur for the annual palm and lauric oils conference in the capital last week.
Already in its 24th year, Kuala Lumpur is the epicentre for traders, consumers, producers, investors, bankers and others to gauge where CPO prices are headed for the rest of the year before they can place their bets, replant or make other investment strategies.
No disrespect to the rubber sector but when it comes to CPO reference price, the palm oil industry has done well and it should stay in Kuala Lumpur.
Crop data, production statistics, stockpile compilation, market research, export figures and market intelligence should be here at the heart of the crop and not in a far away land where a single oil palm tree can’t even grow.
For that reason, London-based Godrej International Ltd director Dorab Mistry is right – special mention should be given to the Malaysian Palm Oil Board, which is the world’s second best regulator and watchdog agency after the US Department of Agriculture.
It has done an excellent job in providing data and the latest statistics to global industry players.
Keep up the good work and don’t slacken or Malaysia risk losing the clout and not able to dictate the destiny of its own golden crop.

UEFA president, Michel PlatiniUEFA President Michel Platini is in for more trouble as his scandalous bribery and corruption allegation takes a new turn.
Fresh reports emanating from Platini's lawyer indicate that FIFA ethic committee are seeking to impose a lifetime ban on UEFA president, Michel Platini if found guilty.
Hans-Joachim Eckert, the German judge who chairs the adjudicatory chamber of FIFA’s ethics committee, has opened formal proceedings against both Platini and FIFA president, Sepp Blatter after receiving the final report of an investigation into alleged serious breaches of their ethical code regarding a £1.3m payment made to the Uefa chief by Blatter in 2011.
However, Platini's lawyer Thibaut d'Ales has told Associated Press that the maximum sanction was recommended in the form of a lifetime ban for the former France international footballer.
Both face lengthy bans if they are found guilty, with a decision believed to be made in December over their futures with FIFA. Platini hopes to succeed Blatter when the next FIFA president is elected on 26 February 2016, but any ban will rule his application invalid and he won’t be allowed to run for the presidency.
Blatter and Platini are currently provisionally suspended by FIFA pending the outcome of their investigation into them. Both deny any wrongdoing.
French sports daily L'Equipe reported D'Ales as saying the recommended lifetime ban was a "pure scandal" and "disproportionate" and claimed that it had been deliberately leaked to further damage Platini's hopes of running for the FIFA presidency.
D'Ales added: "This ban is subject to corruption being proved but it is clearly a disproportionate punishment.
"In releasing this, there is clearly a desire to harm. The masks are slipping one by one in FIFA, the electoral calendar is being manipulated and there is a strategy to eliminate Platini as a candidate."
Other senior FIFA figures previously to receive lifetime bans include Jack Warner (Trinidad and Tobago), Chuck Blazer (USA), Mohamed Bin Hammam (Qatar) and Manilal Fernando (Sri Lanka).

#Newsfeed: Twitter and Instagram look to new ways to fight trolls; Sony to open vinyl factory in Japan; The iPhone just turned 10
Plus what Facebook needs to do to appeal to Gen Z.
One writer for The Next Web has presented a compelling argument about what Facebook has to do to appeal to Generation Z. Marked by low attention spans and vocal opinions the up-and-coming Post-Millennials age group has somewhat become Facebook’s most important demographic, and according to founder of the youth marketing consultancy YouthLogic Connor Blakley, the four challenges currently faced by Facebook in maintaining the attention of Gen Z is investing in live video, curating content, improving messaging, and improving Facebook Groups.

Twitter is exploring adding a feature that would let users flag tweets that contain misleading, false or harmful information, according to The Washington Post. Reports indicate that the feature could look like a tiny tab appearing in a drop-down menu alongside tweets, but Twitter spokeswoman Emily Horne told the news outlet that there are “no current plans to launch” the product.
Read more about this story here.
Instagram is introducing two new features to help keep “Instagram a safe place for self-expression” – a filter to block certain offensive comments and a spam filter in nine languages. Powered by artificial intelligence, the filter can be switched on and off, or keywords can be added manually. Obvious spam will be removed immediately, with nine languages included in the filter – English, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, French, German, Russian, Japanese and Chinese.
What is old is new again, thanks to the resurrection of vinyl now being given major label backing. Sony Music has announced that it will restart the manufacture of its own records, with the Japanese arm opening its own record-pressing plant in March next year – 27 years after it closed – to cope with the huge demand for vinyl in the country.

Most of the specialized firms are highly vulnerable to changes in the environment especially when these changes are fast and unforeseen by the firm. Under such circumstances, firms tend to diversify their products and diversification has been identified as a tool to tide over such situations towards the latter half of 20th century (Whittington and Mayer, 2000). It is considered as a device to minimize risk from any one investment (Goold, et. al., 1993). In the case of FIAT, the process of diversification started at the time of inception itself and it was the result of the keen interest they had given on innovations. Under the leadership of Giovianni Agnelli, the process went on smoothly and resulted in fast growth of the company for over 4 decades.
A firm takes a decision to diversify under certain circumstances. These include lesser chance to increase profit in the present business, when expecting a high increase in shareholder value by diversification, when the resources and intangible assets could be easily transferred, and when the management is strong enough to consider an extension to new business. In the case of FIAT the management was strong enough until 1960's to venture into new businesses and they expected an increase in shareholder value through diversification. Most of these new businesses involved similar products and therefore the resources could be easily transferred and could be used in all these ventures. The technology and marketing strategies were also similar and could be shared.
There are two types of diversification, related and unrelated diversification. A diversification could be called as related diversification if it involves four factors (Winter, 1987). They are:
1. When new products similar to existing products are produced through the diversification process.
2. When the diversification is leading to vertical integration of all the activities of the firm.
3. When subsidiary firms, which produce similar products, are opened outside the home country.
4. When intangible assets are shared in the production. These assets might include marketing knowledge, technology that is patented, or a managerial process which is peculiar to the firm etc. In this condition the products of the diversification would be different and would sometimes be mistaken for unrelated diversification.
In the case of FIAT up to about 60 years after its inception its diversification was related diversification since the company was making similar products and the intangible assets were shared and used for production. Even in countries were they started new business the products were similar.
Related diversification itself consists of different levels based on the proportion of revenue in these ventures. These are (Lopez, 2002):
1. Non-diversification: This is the level in which although the firm has diversified its products, more than 80% of the revenue comes from the original single business.
2. Low diversification: Same as above but diversification is better than above.
3. Medium diversification: This is the level in which 70 to 80% of the revenue comes from the single business.
4. High-level diversification: In this level a single business do not account for more than 70% of the revenue.
5. Unrelated diversifi

This was going to be an almost perfect month. I would celebrate with family and friends my 80th birthday, and look forward to my grandniece Michele’s wedding on Feb. 17.
And then it happened — the Parkland School Massacre. And on Valentine’s Day, a day when we celebrate love. Who could imagine such a thing would happen? What kind of motivation did Nikolas Cruz, 19, have to push him over the edge to kill innocent victims — some who had been his classmates?.
I watched the news and saw a grieving mother scream out her anguish at having to plan the funeral of her 14-year-old daughter.
I watched a survivor — another teen — tell how her best friend told her to hold up a book to help keep her safe. The friend was shot and died there as they held hands.
So much pain. So many sad stories. And yet, the pain we feel as human beings watching the news is nothing like the pain the families of the victims are feeling at this moment.
To say that my heart goes out to the families of the victims is not enough. What would be a big help in stopping this kind of pain is for our elected officials to pass laws that would help put an end to such gun violence.
This past weekend, there was a news story about a man who was buying an AR-15, a weapon at the center of debate on gun control. It seems that this is the firearm that is the weapon of choice for mass murderers. It has been used to shoot the innocent before — in Las Vegas; Sutherland Springs, Texas, and Newtown, Connecticut.
This is what he told a reporter, when asked why a 55-year-old man who already owns about 50 guns would want to buy another:
“Because I choose to own them. I have a constitutional right to own them and I choose to exercise that right.”
He accused the media of making the gun “look like it’s evil. ... This [weapon] does nothing by itself. This takes a human being to take the rifle, point it and shoot someone.”
Exactly. But since we can’t screen the people who buy such weapons, why not stop selling them until we have a system that would screen out the people who are most likely to use the firearm to kill another human being?
I don’t know the man in question. As far as I know, he is a good American citizen who is just exercising his constitutional rights. But I can’t help but hope nobody ever makes him angry enough to use his new AR-15 on another human being.
And while I agree that he has a constitutional right to own whatever guns he wants, I can’t help but wonder why that particular firearm?
I think again, about the 17 victims who died in the Valentine’s Day shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland. They had rights, too. Their parents had rights — they had the right to see their children grow up to be contributing citizens. The brave adults who died had rights, too. One was engaged to be married. Didn’t he have the right to live for his wedding day and to build a life with his bride?
As Americans, we all have rights. I just think it is about time we think about exercising our rights in a responsible manner.
It seems to me that anyone who has heard of the terrible tragedy at Parkland and the mass shootings that happened before, would stop and question himself as to why he or she would need a weapon that is also the choice weapon of mass killers. Just saying.
So today, as we come to the end of what started out to be an almost perfect month, I lay aside my celebrating to grieve with the families of the victims. And while I grieve, I also pray for our lawmakers to do the right thing and help bring about sensible gun control laws. It can’t be that hard to do.
‘The History of Black Miami’
New Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church at 1350 NW 95th St. will present “The History of Black Miami” at 7 p.m. Friday. The program will celebrate Black History Month, while depicting various events and people who live and have lived in the Miami area.
During the program, Booker T. Washington Senior High School will be highlighted as the first black high school in Miami. Roberta Daniels, the president of Booker T. Washington’s Alumni Association, and Keitta Givens, New Shiloh’s program director, are asking for all Washingtonians to be present and wear the school colors of orange and black.
The Miami Northwestern Bulls are invited, too, and to wear their school colors of blue and gold. This should be an evening of learning more about our history as well as some friendly rivalry between the Tornadoes and the Bulls.
Kind of reminds me of the old days when the King of Clubs organization sponsored the weekly forums during February, and the Tornadoes and the Bulls competed to have the most students at the forums. Our choirs also competed to see who would sing the best. Those were great times. Let’s do it again. It’s free.
Muslim coalition annual dinner

Celebrate Julia Tuttle
To kickoff Women’s History Month, the Women’s History Coalition will have a celebration of the life of Julia Tuttle, the Mother of Miami, at the Miami City Cemetery, 1800 NE Second Ave, which is Tuttle’s final resting place.
Miami Mayor Francis Suarez will open the ceremony and historian Paul George will give a brief presentation of the highlights of Tuttle’s life and the cemetery’s history.

Silk agate beads centering a labradorite and topaz point amulet mounted in embellished metal.
Labradorite crystal reminds us to keep it magical by linking us to the spirit world, a dimension where anything is possible.
Discovered in the 18th century, the Labradorite meaning refers to the region of Labrador in Canada where the stone was first mined. Geologists were immediately enthralled by its shimmering iridescence and deep blue-green shades. But long before this discovery, the native peoples believed that the Labradorite crystal stone meaning was connected to the Aurora Borealis and its spectacular flashes of light, the most spectacular sight on earth.
Agate promotes inner peace, calmness, clarity, and rejuvenation.
Bring Labradorite and agate into your life and remember that every day holds new magic to be discovered.
Materials: agate, labradorite, topaz, silver magnetic clasp

Oilseed rape: a new protein resource for humans
Have you tried rapeseed salad or rapeseed cake? Rather unlikely because the protein-rich seeds have an intolerably bitter note. However, this could change soon, because a German research team recently identified the crucial substance that is responsible for the bitter taste. This paves the way for developing rapeseed for human consumption.
Rapeseed is rich in oil and high-quality proteins. The latter have so far not been usable for human consumption, since rapeseed has an intense bitter taste that makes it inedible. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich have now exposed the responsible bitter substance and now want to develop a process that is supposed to transform bitter rapeseed into a tasty and protein-rich food. The research results were recently published in the "Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry".
Coming bottlenecks in protein supply
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) points out that in view of the growing world population there will be increasing supply problems. "In this context, bottlenecks are to be expected in particular with regard to protein supply," reports Thomas Hofmann, head of the Chair for Food Chemistry and Molecular Sensor Technology at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in a press release on the study results.
The country needs new sources of protein
Hofmann emphasizes that it is therefore particularly important to develop new plant and local sources for daily protein needs. Rabseed is very suitable for this - apart from the bitter taste. So far, only rapeseed oil has been produced from the seeds. This would result in over a million tons of crude protein, which until now have only been used as protein feed in animal fattening. This rapeseed cake is very rich in high-quality proteins, which contain many essential amino acids.
On the way to a tasty rapeseed
In the study, the team around Hofmann identified the main person responsible for the bitter taste. It is a compound with the complicated name "Kaempferol-3-O- (2‘ ’’ - O-sinapoyl-ß-sophoroside) ". In the first attempts, the researchers were already able to isolate a protein from the oilseed rape that contains less than 10 percent of the original bitter substances. "Still too bitter," said testers in taste tests.
When does the rapeseed cake come on the table?
"Now that we know who caused the bitterly bad mark, it is much easier to develop suitable technological processes or breeding strategies that can be used to produce tasty, protein-rich foods from rapeseed," sums up the co-author of the study Corinna Dawid. Maybe rapeseed will soon be on supermarket shelves as a new staple. (vb)

Manchester United recently announced their financial results for the 2015-16 fiscal year, and the numbers have revealed how much Van Gaal and his coaching staff were compensated following their dismissal.
United are officially the first club in the history of English football to record annual revenues in excess of £500 million (half a billion), after the club announced in a financial report that it had made £515.3 million in a single year.
The club further revealed that they had to pay out just under £10 million to former manager Louis Van Gaal and his coaching staff, after the Dutchman was sacked from the position.

Louis Van Gaal was sacked with still a full year to go in his contract with Manchester United, after he failed to finish in a top 4 position in the Premier League.
The Red Devils were also forced to write-off Bastian Schweinsteiger as an asset to the squad. The club did not officially announce that the midfielder was written off, but a sum of £6.7 million was listed under ‘exceptions items.’
Manchester United’s Chief Executive, Ed Woodward, was positive about the club’s financial status, as well as their performance on the pitch.
“In May, we announced Jose Mourinho as our new manager,” said Woodward. “His appointment is a reflection of the club’s determination to return to the pinnacle of our sport.
“Despite the result from Saturday [when United lost 2-1 at home to Manchester City], there is positive momentum behind the team this year and expect this season to be one of the most exciting in the Premier League’s history.”
Manchester United even broke the world transfer record this season, after they re-signed Paul Pogba from Juventus for a massive £89 million.
Reports claim that United will continue their heavy spending in the market next season, as they attempt to sign Antoine Griezmann from Atletico Madrid.

Neuropathology is the branch of cellular pathology concerned with the diagnosis of diseases of the brain, spinal cord, skeletal muscle and nerves.
Diagnostic neuropathology, until recently a subspecialty of histopathology, involves the reporting of neurosurgical specimens (tumour, central nervous system [CNS], peripheral nerve and muscle), the undertaking of autopsies in patients who have diseases of their nervous systems, and detailed reporting of post-mortem brains. Neuropathologists are specialist doctors who work with multidisciplinary teams to ensure the best, tailored treatment is available for their patients.
There are approximately 65 consultants the UK, around 40 whole-time equivalents. Many consultants have formalised academic responsibilities, including those at forefront of research fields that were set as national priority by the Government, such as neurodegeneration.
With our sister organisation, the British Neuropathological Society (www.bns.org.uk), in the last year we have developed a proposed NHS England service specification involving a network of neuropathology services across England (and beyond), to ensure the sustainable and equitable delivery of diagnostic neuropathology. Our quality assurance programme is used across the world to confirm diagnostic ability of CNS tumours and further programmes are being developed. We have also supported telepathology for remote intra-operative diagnostics in centres where appointment of full-time diagnostic neuropathology is not viable, ensuring equitable access to specialist services to areas of lower population density.

As he takes on the voice of protagonist Peter Grainger in Burden of Truth, author Tyler Wills employs a compelling writing style, bringing to the page the classic feel of William Golding or Conan Doyle. Here’s the blurb:
Recently retired and with a penchant for first editions, Peter Grainger finds a battered journal amongst a purchase of old books – a journal once belonging to the primatologist Dr Richard Beck.
Dr Beck’s research into communicating with primates led him to finding a particularly gifted bonobo monkey – the primate version of a savant, with vast knowledge of its species’ oral history. Peter becomes obsessed with Beck’s notes, and soon learns a potentially world-changing truth: the origin of and final destiny of man.
His naïve investigations uncover a past conspiracy of denial and murder in an attempt to conceal Beck’s discoveries, and soon Grainger finds himself on the run with a quest – to bring to the world the truth and its likely impact on future civilizations.
Of course, reader is let in on the ‘truth’ from the very beginning, and with a scientific backstory so convincing, it will have you believing and rooting for Peter Grainger to the very end. They certainly don’t write ’em like this anymore.
Of the editing process, Tyler says:
‘Hitchcock made me very wary of crows, and generally any large flock of dark birds in the vicinity. Hudspith on the other hand, (a well-known manipulator of said crows), guided me gently through the dilemma of getting my first story to a reasonable state of acceptance.
His patiently dedicated eagle-eyed radar zoning-in on any stray hyphen, wrong colon, and yes, even a handful of unnecessary single spaces dotted here and there – amazed me!
He added so much more meaning and sense, often in just a few deftly placed key-strokes. His deep editors toolbox is full of professional help and advice which is always available, and if you are really lucky, sometimes a golden-nugget can be found, somewhere amongst the bird-seed. I can’t recommend Johnny highly enough.’
Thank you, Tyler. I can’t wait for the next one!

Answer: Don't eat raw or undercooked seafood or meats. Reduce your risk for listeriosis, an illness caused by bacteria found in unpasteurized milk, soft cheese, raw vegetables and shellfish. Wash fruits and vegetables well before eating and thoroughly cook shellfish. Make sure your milk is pasteurized and stick with hard cheeses like cheddar and parmesan. Eat 8 to 12 ounces of seafood per week, choosing from a variety of fish and other seafood. Avoid tilefish, shark, swordfish and king mackerel, and limit white (albacore) tuna to 6 ounces per week. These fish may contain high levels of methyl mercury, which could affect a fetus's developing brain. Pregnant or breastfeeding women do not need to limit canned light or dark tuna or tuna steaks. In fact, eating at least 8 ounces of seafood per week may help with your child's visual and intellectual development. Take your prenatal vitamin daily for the extra iron and folic acid you need throughout your pregnancy (and before). Skip the alcohol. Any alcohol. Limit caffeine.

#BreakHalloween, Kelly Ripa. As part of her Halloween 2015 special, Live! With Kelly and Michael hostess Kelly Ripa imitated Kim Kardashian’s butt-balancing, champagne-popping Paper magazine cover, Us Weekly can exclusively reveal.
In the bootylicious snap, Ripa masters the ultimate balancing act with a prosthetic derriere, a freshly popped bottle of bubbly, and a glass half-filled with champagne. The normally blonde hostess channels her best impression of Kardashian, who was photographed by the legendary Jean-Paul Goude for Paper mag’s Winter 2014 issue.
One very crucial difference from the original: Unlike Kardashian, Ripa chose to remain clothed. Kardashian shocked the world with not only one, but two nude covers for that specific spread. After dropping her dress and baring her butt in the first photo, Kardashian’s second, shocking, full-frontal nude shot was blasted out by Paper last November.
Despite the Internet hoopla, Kardashian said the entire shoot helped boost her inner confidence. “I was so honored and excited to work with him because he is a legend, and for me that was something I wanted to do to make myself feel confident,” she later told Australia’s The Project. “As a role model I’m not saying anyone else should do that, but for me it was an art project and it taught me to do what you want to do.”
Along with the Paper cover, Ripa, 45, has many more costumes planned for her special Halloween episode, which will air this Friday, Oct. 30. Us Weekly can reveal one additional preview shot from her dress-up session with Michael Strahan in which she channels Star Wars‘ Princess Leia. Strahan coordinates with his cohost as the venerable Lando Calrissian.

The building of a champion is never finished, and an NFC North champion is what Vikings coach Mike Tice thinks he could have on his hands. They are getting closer with the addition of their parts over the last two years, but there are still questions as they wrapped up their developmental camps today and move into the "breather time" between now and reporting to training camp at the end of July.
On defense, the Vikings added Ken Irvin and Denard Walker as their new starting cornerbacks, but the defensive backfield still has one major question: Who will play opposite Corey Chavous at safety? It could be Willie Offord, Jack Brewer or Brian Russell … or it could be a safety yet to be picked up.
The linebackers are effectively set, with a strong starting contingent of veterans and young and talented backups.
The defensive line was upgraded by taking Kevin Williams with the ninth pick in the draft, but Williams still hasn't put on the pads or experienced opposition at the NFL ranks. And line play is probably the toughest position to gauge in practices without pads on, so nobody really knows for sure just how good Williams is or can be.
The only starting position really up for grabs on offense in the wide receiver spot opposite Randy Moss. Could be D'Wayne Bate, could be Kelly Campbell, could be Derrick Alexander … or, again, it could come through the free-agent market.
The only other real position of intrigue is running back, where Michael Bennett is coming off of foot surgery. While he should be back for training camp, recovery time is never an exact science. Doug Chapman and Moe Williams split time during developmental camps, but Onterrio Smith, a very interesting fourth-round pick, wasn't able to attend practices the last three weeks. He will have some catching up to do in training camp if he wants to see the field during the regular season in 2003.
It's wind-down time for the players now, a time to get away for a week or more. But for the coaches and personnel department, the post-camp evaluating is just beginning.

NAFTA Summit: Trucking Deal on the Agenda.
US Court of International Trade Rulings:
Polly U.S.A., Inc. v. United States
Facts: Polly USA imported medical uniforms under the African Growth and Opportunity Act.
Customs request information about production processes, time lines and worker documentation.
Polly USA provided the information but customs claims they did not provide all documentation requested and that the documents failed to establish the required "traceable production timeline."
Two Issues: Whether customs had the authority to request the additional documentation or whether all that is required is a country of origin declaration and whether the country of origin was proven despite the discrepancies which may be unavoidable when doing business in Swaziland.
Ruling: An importers country of origin declaration is insufficient alone, in cases of unilateral trade preferences, to establish the country of origin. Because the AGOA is a unilateral trade preference and not a free trade agreement customs may request "whatever verification a port directer deems necessary" to establish claims of preferential treatment. Rather than the trade agreement standard that the port directer may request more information if he cannot determine the country of origin on the face of the declaration.
Ruling: Despite the difficulties in keeping good records in developing countries customs regulations requires that such records be kept and the customs may impose duties when such records are not kept. The court cites 19 CFR 10.178a (e).
Will this in effect kill the AGOA? Seems like it or it will create jobs for auditors and accountants to go over there and create record keeping systems

Power generated by the solar panels mounted on the roof is stored in smart lithium batteries for the main energy source
Billion Electric has partnered with 10 Taiwanese green technology companies to build an eco-power station and off-grid electric bicycle station.
The Skynergy project on show in New York Liberty Park, New Jersey, uses a central power plant constructed around a standard shipping container and will be run by US bike rental and tour company, Bike and Roll.
Billion claims the “innovative design” of its solar-powered electrical bicycle station makes it highly mobile and it can be adapted for emergency relief, medical services, and energy storage station in both rural and suburban areas.
The company’s cloud-based smart energy management solution (SEMS) with a total of five intelligent concurrent control boxes controls the power input-output of each bicycle and monitors the charging activity.
Power generated by the solar panels mounted on the roof is stored in smart lithium batteries for the main energy source. Any excess energy generated is stored in fuel cells as a secondary source of power. Each fuel cell can provide more than eight hours of back-up while still operating at maximum output, the company claims.
The company’s smart gateway, which acts as the communication backbone for SEMS, analyses the energy consumption and transfers the information into statistical data report on the cloud centralised management platform.
“Skynergy is a huge step in achieving environmental sustainability. Through this project, we have shown our strong R&D capability,” said Ben Jien, ESCO/EMC business director of Billion Electric.
