A ‘green’ destination, a ferry service which sails to over 20 destinations on the west coast, and the biggest Hogmanay party in Scotland, were among those crowned the best in Scotland at Scottish tourism’s equivalent of the Oscars.
Comrie Croft near Crieff won the Scotland CAN DO Award for Innovation In Tourism, Caledonian MacBrayne, known as CalMac Ferries, picked up Edinburgh Airport - Working Together For Tourism, while Edinburgh’s Hogmanay, produced by Unique Events, took home Caledonian MacBrayne - Best Cultural Event or Festival, at the Scottish Thistle Awards National Final last night (16 March).
Thistle judges noted the “impressive impact” that Edinburgh’s Hogmanay has had on the local economy with 99% occupancy for 31 December, praised social enterprise Comrie Croft for its “collaboration across the region” and described CalMac, headquartered in Gourock, as a “lifeline service focussed on the customer”.
Inverness business owner, Freda Newton MBE, who owns and manages Loch Ness by Jacobite, was rewarded for her role in tourism with the prestigious Caledonian MacBrayne Silver Thistle Award which was presented by Fiona Hyslop, Cabinet Secretary for Culture, Tourism and External Affairs.
She received the prize for her “pivotal role in the region’s tourism industry” including her work as an ambassador for Scotland on international business trips and was described as “an inspirational role model to women” and “mentor to young entrepreneurs”.
The glittering ceremony, held during Scottish Tourism Week, took place at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre hosted by TV presenter and Deacon Blue drummer, Dougie Vipond, and presenter and former Miss Scotland, Jennifer Reoch.
The 2016/2017 Scottish Thistle Awards, in association with Fishers, recognise innovation, excellence and success in the hospitality and tourism industry – rewarding hotels, restaurants, B&Bs, visitor attractions, events and individuals who go that extra mile to provide customers with exceptional service.
There were winners from across Scotland: from Laggan Outdoor Activity Centre (Best Outdoor/Adventure) in Dumfries and Galloway to Mill of Nethermill Holidays (Best Accommodation Provider) in Aberdeenshire, the National Museum of Scotland (ScotRail - Best Visitor Attraction) in Edinburgh to Kinloch Lodge Hotel & Restaurant (Fishers - Most Hospitable Hotel) on the Isle of Skye.
Comedian Des Clarke and Scottish band, Prides, provided the evening’s entertainment.
Tourism Secretary Fiona Hyslop said:
The Scottish Thistle Awards recognise excellence and reward the creativity and innovation that underpins Scotland’s tourism sector.
“Scotland’s tourism businesses, and their 217,000 jobs, work incredibly hard to make our country a must-visit destination, and ensure visitors are assured of a warm welcome.”
Rebecca Brooks, Chair of the Scottish Thistle Awards Industry Panel and VisitScotland Board member, said:
“Congratulations to all of the winners at the 2016/17 Scottish Thistle Awards National Final. They represent the best of the best in Scotland and epitomise the strength and depth of the tourism and hospitality experience across the country.
“The Scottish tourism industry and hospitality sector prides itself on delivering a rewarding experience for visitors and all of our finalists should be proud of their achievements in reaching the final – which, in itself, is both a recognition of excellence and innovation, and a sign of quality.
“Tourism is the heartbeat of the Scottish economy – supporting communities and creating jobs throughout the year in every corner of the country. We look forward to the 2017/18 Scottish Thistle Awards when we will celebrate the achievements of our industry colleagues during our 25th anniversary year.”
Scott Inglis, Commercial Director at Fishers, said:
“We have supported the Scottish Thistle Awards for three years and are proud to have been the headline sponsor this year. At Fishers we don’t just think of ourselves as a laundry company, we know that we are an important part of Scotland’s tourism sector and we’re happy to show our support to other businesses in this sector.
“Last night we celebrated all the hard work that goes into making tourism a success in Scotland and there is a great deal to be proud of. All of the finalists deserve to be commended for their contribution to tourism and we would like to extend our congratulations to all of the winners.”
This year the Scottish Thistle Awards received a record-breaking number of entries, totalling 715, amounting to a 16% increase on last year.
The flagship tourism awards are organised by VisitScotland and led by an industry panel, including Aberdeen City and Shire Tourism Awards, Highlands & Islands Tourism Awards, the Hospitality Industry Trust Scotland, Scotland Food and Drink, Scottish Tourism Alliance, the Scottish Licensed Trade Association, sportscotland and Wild Scotland.
The regional finals were: Central, Fife & Tayside; Lothians & Borders; West; Highlands and Islands, organised by the Highlands and Islands Tourism Awards; and Aberdeen City and Shire, organised by Aberdeen City and Shire Tourism Awards.

New Delhi [India], January 11 (ANI): China's Google equivalent search engine, Baidu which specializes in Internet-related services and artificial intelligence will set up a company to produce electric vehicles in collaboration with Chinese automaker Geely.
According to Tech Crunch Baidu, a dominant player in China's internet search market will provide smart driving technologies Geely, which has an impending merger with Sweden's Volvo, will be in charge of car design and manufacturing.
This move marks Baidu to become the latest company in China's internet industry to enter the EV space. Back in November, news came that Alibaba and Chinese state-owned carmaker SAIC Motor had joined hands to produce electric cars.
Ride-share Company Didi and EV maker BYD co-developed a model for ride-hailing, which is already attracting customers like Ideanomics. Meanwhile, the stocks of China's Tesla challengers, such as Xpeng, Li Auto, and NIO, have been in a steady uptrend over the past year.
Baidu's car push is part of its effort to diversify a business relying on search advertising revenue. New media platforms such as ByteDance's Toutiao news aggregator and short-video app Douyin come with their own search feature and have gradually eroded the share of traditional search engines like Baidu.
As per Tech Crunch, this new venture will operate as a Baidu subsidiary where Geely will serve as a strategic partner and Baidu units like Apollo and Baidu Maps will contribute capabilities. The firm will cover the entire industrial chain, including vehicle design, research and development, manufacturing, sales, and service.
It's unclear how Baidu's tie-up with Geely will affect Apollo's operation, though Baidu promised in its announcement that it will "uphold its spirit of open collaboration across the AI technology industry, striving to work closely with its ecosystem partners to advance the new wave of intelligent transformation."

Rihanna sure did piss off her fans in London.
After starting her Diamonds World Tour show late on Wednesday night, a few fans showed Rihanna their appreciation by throwing chips at her.
The “Diamonds” singer had just finished singing “Rude Boy” when chips began flying at her on stage.
Rihanna of course took a moment to let the irate fans have it, shouting “When you throw s–t up here, that’s an epic fail.”
But after scolding the unruly fans Rihanna continued on her with her show
telling the audience, “Alright Manchester, for those of you who want to get jiggy and have a good f–king time, say my name.”
But this isn’t the first time Rihanna has had to go in on a fan during her show. Last month the Bajan beauty hit a fan on the head with the microphone after he got a little too close to her during a performance of “We Found Love.”
So, what do you think? Are Rihanna’s fans out of line?

The event is hosted by the Willamette Valley Road Runners. Expect a more detailed preview in the upcoming months from yours truly!
44th Annual Zena Road Runs (Salem)

This double disc set is a once in a lifetime collaboration with New Found Glory, a band that should not need an introduction, and Boston's hardcore punk label, Bridge Nine Records, teaming up for a unique release that is generating excitement and raising a few eyebrows. Disc one is the New Found Glory "Tip Of The Iceberg" CDep. Featuring three original songs that are sure to become fan favorites and three covers paying homage to the bands that inspired New Found Glory in their early days (NYHC bands Gorilla Biscuits and Shelter as well as New Jersey's genre-creating Lifetime), the release shows new fans where New Found Glory came from and old fans that NFG didn't forget their roots. Disc two in this unique package is the full-length album by International Superheroes Of Hardcore titled "Takin' It Ova!" ISHC is all five members of New Found Glory playing new roles as hardcore musician superheroes with guitarist Chad Gilbert taking over the mic and NFG vocalist Jordan Pudnik replacing Gilbert on guitar. Musically finding itself somewhere between early recordings of Sick Of It All, Youth Of Today, and Judge, "Takin' It Ova!" shows a side to the band that people might not have known existed.


India defeated West Indies by 96 runs in the third ODI to complete a 3-0 clean sweep vs West Indies at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday. However, Odean Smith, who replaced skipper Kiran Pollard in the 2nd match, excelled with both the ball and the bat.
He first took the wickets of Rishabh Pant and Virat Kohli and then he get 20 off 24 balls during the West Indian run chase in Second ODI and Smith gave India a huge scare as he hit a quickfire 36 in the West Indies’s unsuccessful chase of 266 against India in the 3rd ODI. The big-hitter effortlessly smashed Kuldeep Yadav to two big sixes before getting out in the 24 over of the match while trying to clear the fence against Mohammed Siraj.
While reviewing the second ODI in a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra predicted a hefty sum for Smith at the upcoming mega auction. He said:
“Odean Smith – I feel he has become a half a million dollar player. He has already become a 4-5 crore player because all teams will run after him.”
The former KKR player highlighted that the big-hitting all-rounder will attract a lot of attention from the franchises. Aakash Chopra reasoned:
“Overall, the skillset with which he is coming, in the IPL mega auction, he will get a lot of horns blown. He bowls, Rishabh Pant and Kohli dismissed in one over and he would have got Rahul as well, and then came to play the big shots.”
Smith has shown ample proof of his potential in the four ODIs he has played for the West Indies to date. The Jamaican cricketer has taken five wickets at an excellent average of 17.20 and smoked 108 runs at an outstanding strike rate of 189.47 in these games.

SHADOW chancellor John McDonnell’s firm declaration that any new referendum on the European Union should be confined to asking voters’ opinion on any deal or no-deal offered by Theresa May shows respect for both national democracy and party unity.
“We’ll be arguing that it should be a vote on the deal itself and then enable us to go back and do the negotiations,” he told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme.
McDonnell understands that respecting the June 2016 referendum decision means nothing if it is accompanied by a demand for another referendum to overturn the first.
That’s not respecting a democratic decision. It reflects an EU phenomenon some call a “neverendum” in which voters are directed to try again until they achieve the required answer.
We have seen it across the EU whenever voters have been given a say on a new centralising power for the European corporate-political elite.
Irish voters rebelled twice and were dragooned back to the ballot boxes to correct their mistake.
Their French and Dutch counterparts rejected the Treaty on Establishing an EU Constitution in 2005, resulting in the cancellation of referendums planned in a number of other EU member states.
By then the powers that be were so nervous of another referendum that they cobbled together the 2007 Lisbon Treaty, describing it as merely a tidying-up process whereas, in reality, it comprised most of the defeated constitutional paraphernalia.
Offered up for approval to member states’ governmental or parliamentary elite, without popular ratification, it went through on the nod, leaving EU officialdom and its allies in member-state governments smug but feeding grassroots resentment across the bloc.
Public anger was further nourished by the realisation that the ruling elite in each country had not been coerced by the EU commission in Brussels into imposing “neverendums” or undermining popular decisions by executive action.
The national elites were hand in glove with the supranational body, both in their “there is no alternative” neoliberal policies and their machinations to prevent democratic decision-making.
McDonnell’s recognition that the June 2016 decision was an anti-Establishment vote is still not shared among many in the Labour Party and the trade unions.
They either pray at the altar of a near-forgotten and largely illusory “social Europe” model or accept that the EU has become institutionally neoliberal, but foster the dream that an outfit that began life proclaiming its goal of untrammelled free-market competition across the bloc’s internal borders can be transformed into an enlightened society that prizes solidarity over private profit.
A number of Labour members who adhere to one or other of these mistaken positions took part in the weekend’s People’s Vote march to the Labour Party conference.
But they were not the string-pullers or decision makers behind this “cross-party” initiative, which gathers up the same squalid group of politicians, backed by the same big-business millions, that fought unsuccessfully in our referendum to keep the UK in the EU.
The Chuka Umunnas, Anna Soubrys, Tony Blairs, Peter Mandelsons, Vince Cables, Andrew Adonises and sundry nationalist and greenish politicians, bankrolled by George Soros and other financial interests, are linked by their contempt for democracy and their hostility to Jeremy Corbyn, John McDonnell and the socialist policies they champion.
Labour’s conference and broader membership should unite behind the leadership call to reject any Tory-negotiated outcome that fails to protect jobs and living standards and to demand a general election so Corbyn can step forward to negotiate a new relationship with the EU, based on principled acceptance of the vote to leave.

The first few minutes of the game turned into a scoring rally, with both teams driving the ball down the field with ease. Amanda Dellandre of MHS drove down the field early and scored on a long shot, putting the Trojans up 1-0. Almost immediately, the Matadors responded with a goal of their own from forward Nanda Nyak. After this, it became a defensive battle with neither team consistently advancing the ball deep into the opponent’s territory. A late goal sent the Trojans into halftime with a 2-1 lead.
The second half was similar to the first, with both teams struggling to march down the field. Despite maintaining possession of the ball, the Matadors were unable to capitalize on their opportunities, which led to another Trojans goal, making the score 3-1. The Trojans closed out the game in the final minutes with one last goal with a 4-1 win.
Read the quotes below to hear the players’ thoughts on their loss against MHS.
“We definitely didn’t play our best,” sophomore Erika Haskell said. “We played much better against other, much more difficult teams. We were just off.”
“We beat them last time we played them, 2-0, so we might have thought of them to be a little easier, but we still came out with a lot of intensity” sophomore Jaimie Chan said.

The Elements of Organic Gardening
Highgrove, Clarence House, BirkhallBook - 2007
HRH The Prince of Wales has spent more than 26 years transforming the grounds of the Highgrove Estate into one of the finest gardens in the country. His strict adherence to organic principles has helped shape and define a garden which is both beautiful and environmentally sound. It is this expertise that is at the heart of his new book THE ELEMENTS OF ORGANIC GARDENING. HRH shows how to create an organic garden the Highgrove way. These same organic principles are also being used at the Prince's other gardens Clarence House (previously the home of HM The Queen Mother) and Birkhall (photographed for the first time since the Prince has lived there). The book describes the organic practices that are in place in the Prince's garden, most of which can be adapted to any garden, large or small.

Townships and northern areas ganglands hardest hit in metro
State ambulances responded to a staggering 738 gunshot call outs in the Nelson Mandela Bay metro in the first 11 months of the year.
Of those, 188 people were declared dead by paramedics, almost one firearm fatality every two days. Statistics show the city’s townships and northern areas gang lands were the hardest hit.
And the burden of responding to these cases has taken a toll on emergency services staff, provincial Emergency Medical Services (EMS) director A K Munilall said.
They have 15 to 18 ambulances a shift covering the entire municipality.
“As a result, our staff have faced abuse from the public for arriving late,” he said. “EMS staff, themselves, have been held at gunpoint and robbed of their belongings.
“This trend has severely traumatised them to the extent that we had to seek help for them.” Eighteen ambulances were attacked last year and 16 this year.
Munilall said 10 staff members serving the Bay area had been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. “These staff members cannot work on the ambulances and must be accommodated elsewhere,” he said.
EMS was in constant engagement with police, ward councillors and communities to help reduce gun crime.

1. Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6 and grease a baking sheet. For the choux pastry, melt the butter in a saucepan with the water then bring to a rolling boil.
2. Sift the flour and salt onto a piece of folded greaseproof paper, then quickly pour into the boiling water.
3. Beat the pastry mixture vigorously with a wooden spoon until it?s smooth and the bottom of the pan is beginning to fur, then spread out on a plate and leave to cool for 20 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Place the cream and most of the pistachios in a small saucepan and slowly bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and leave to infuse until ready to use.
5. Once the pastry is cool, return it to the saucepan and gradually beat in the beaten egg until the pastry mixture reaches a consistency that lazily drops off the spoon (you may not need all of the beaten egg).
6. Using teaspoons, space out small dollops of pastry mixture on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes, until golden brown.
7. Once cooked, use a skewer or drinking straw to pierce holes in the bases of the profiteroles, then leave them upside down on a wire rack to dry completely.
8. When you?re ready to fill the profiteroles, strain the cream and discard the pistachios. Whip the cream with the icing sugar and vanilla essence until it holds its shape. Transfer to a piping bag and pipe a teaspoonful or so into the centre of each profiterole.
9. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (without letting the bowl touch the water). Arrange the profiteroles on a platter and drizzle over some of the melted chocolate. Serve the leftover chocolate in a small jug on the side.

Things will go from bad to worse if he really does this…
Recently, Joe Biden stated that he plans on giving amnesty for “over 11 million” illegal aliens if he gets into office.
During an NBC interview, Biden stated:
Some of it’s going to depend on the kind of cooperation I can or cannot get from the United States Congress. But I am going, I made a commitment, in the first 100 days, I will send an immigration bill to the United States Senate with a pathway to citizenship for over 11 million undocumented people in America.
So basically, if Joe Biden does land himself a president job, he will decide to put the illegal aliens above U.S. citizens. What a great president he will be for everyone but America.

ROSWELL, Ga. — McKesson Corporation has moved its Atlanta hub from Alpharetta to Roswell. The company — a global leader in healthcare supply chain management solutions, retail pharmacy and healthcare information technology — celebrated the opening of the new office July 17 at the Stonebridge I building on 1110 Sanctuary Parkway.
Roswell beat out competition from Columbus, Ohio; Austin, Texas and Phoenix, Arizona, to land the office.
Roswell rose to the top of the list for several factors, including location and available space.
“Ultimately, it’s because we have a great incentive package here in the state of Georgia, and Roswell has the quality of life,” said Steve Stroud, executive director of Roswell’s economic development arm Roswell Inc.
The location is within the city’s opportunity zone, an area designated as part of the state’s incentive program that provides tax credits for net new jobs created.
“For more than 20 years, the Greater Atlanta Region has been an essential hub for McKesson, and our new Sanctuary Park Office reinforces our commitment to the region,” said Jorge Figueredo, McKesson chief human resources officer. “We greatly value the tremendous talent, our partnerships with innovative businesses in the area, and our close collaborating with civic and community leaders.”
The company has signed a 10-year lease for the 104,000 square foot office space in Sanctuary Park. It will house 550 McKesson employees with 23 conference rooms, six break rooms, four training rooms, a tech bar, fitness facilities and jogging trails.
“McKesson’s new office demonstrates its vision for a contemporary workplace — combining state-of-the-art technology with flexible meeting spaces and an emphasis on health and wellness,” said McKesson Public Relations Senior Manager Sunny Rodriguez.
Roswell Mayor Lori Henry said the city is excited to work with McKesson once again.
“Years ago, they were in Roswell,” she said. “They’ve gone full circle and are back home again. We’re really excited that they’ve chosen Roswell. They’re a great business partner.”
Henry added that the move will provide a boon to Roswell’s economy and retail environment.
“It’s important to remember the daytime visitors,” Henry said. “A lot of times, employees choose to use daycares close to their business, they stop by a drive through close to their business or go to lunch close to their business. It will be a huge support for our retail business.”

IOC chief Bach confident in 2018 Games security
By Minwoo Park
SEOUL (Reuters) - Olympics chief Thomas Bach conceded that major sporting events like the 2018 Winter Games will always carry some form of security risk but said on Wednesday he was confident that South Korean authorities would keep athletes safe in Pyeongchang.
The South Korean alpine town will host Asia's first Winter Olympics outside of Japan in less than three year's time.
Relations with volatile North Korea are often strained and tension between Seoul and Pyongyang has been rising recently after two South Korean soldiers were injured by a landmine in the heavily-fortified demilitarized zone, which has divided the two Koreas since the end of their 1950-53 war.
"Security is a top priority for the Olympic Games," Bach told reporters at a news conference in Seoul.
"Unfortunately, we are living in a world where every big event, be it sport or otherwise, has challenges with regard to security. So do the Olympic Games."
Bach said he was confident South Korea's security forces would coordinate closely with other countries' authorities to do "everything in their power to protect the athletes and the Olympic Games".
Bach, who will next travel to Beijing for the start of the athletics world championships on Aug. 22, praised Pyeongchang organizers (POCOG) for their progress and said he was impressed by South Korean President Park Geun-hye's commitment to the Games.
"We had a very successful visit here in Korea and in Pyeongchang and I can say that we see preparations for the Olympic Winter Games 2018 really being on track," the German added. Continued...

Alaska Airlines has continued to struggle with flight cancellations after being unable to keep up with staff shortages, particularly a frustrating pilot shortage.
So much so CEO Ben Minicucci has issued an apology for the airline’s ongoing woes and offered optimism about the possibility of improvement in June.
A tricky situation
In a YouTube video on Alaska Airlines’ verified channel, Minicucci said that he was “deeply sorry”. He continued, sharing how he hears from “friends, neighbours and guests about how disruptive our flight cancellations have been.”
Currently, 4% of Alaska flights (50 flights) are cancelled every day.
He offered a further explanation on the issue, stating that the Washington-based carrier has been operating with 63 fewer pilots than what was planned when the schedule was put together. The pilot shortage is clearly the crux of the carrier’s issues. Minicucci continued:
“By the time we caught this error, April and May schedules were bid on by our pilots and flight attendants, making it impossible to sufficiently adjust schedules to avoid cancellations”.
Minicucci emphasised that the disruption has not been caused by the pilot’s striking and negotiations over new contracts.
Moving on, Minicucci said that in June “significant changes” have been made to ensure a “high degree of reliability”. He went on to list those changes:
“This includes hiring and training 150 new pilots, 200 additional reservations agents and 1,100 new flight attendants.”
A reduction in the schedule will also help the carrier fix its issues and suffer significantly less from cancellations. Minicucci said that the Washington-based carrier should be “back on track” by July – August.
It is clear that Alaska Airlines is one of the carriers across the globe that has struggled to adjust post-pandemic. For their sake, hopefully, the summer is far less turbulent.
Let us know what you think about Alaska’s troubles in the comments below.

The Pittsburgh Art Commission voted Wednesday to remove the Christopher Columbus statue — which has overlooked Oakland since 1958 — from Schenley Park.
Italian Sons and Daughters of America has called Pittsburgh home since 1930, our organization is headquartered in this city, and we plan on vigorously fighting the decision.
“ISDA will call upon Mayor Bill Peduto to reject the recommendation of the Art Commission. In the event the city attempts to move forward, we are prepared to take the matter to court to prevent the city from removing the statue of Columbus from Schenley Park,” said ISDA President Basil Russo on Wednesday, after the decision was announced during a virtual meeting.
Columbus Day has become synonymous with Italian Heritage Day, the time when we remember the sacrifices made by our parents and grandparents, and the contributions Italian Americans have made in the U.S.
The time-honored Columbus Day parades began in the late 1800s as Italian immigrants attempted to create a sense of self-esteem and dignity during a period where they were subjected to lynchings, bigotry and prejudice throughout the country.
Columbus’s journey launched 500 years of immigration to America, attracting peoples from throughout the world seeking a better life for their families — this is the spirit we champion and are fighting to preserve, and this is what the Columbus statues stand for.
The Italian-American community has always supported the designation of an Indigenous Peoples Day as it is most rightly and most justly deserved.
We respectfully suggest the day after Thanksgiving, or August 9th (the day the United Nations has designated as Indigenous Peoples Day throughout the world) to be considered as alternate options.
What we don’t support is the agenda of those who want to rewrite our history, and in the process, diminish our traditions by targeting the 15th century explorer.
Please contact Mayor Peduto, and tell him why this historical monument should not be uprooted:

If your mother can prepare Italian cuisine, why should you go to restaurant ?! These words belong to the great Martin Scorsese and express that the good food occupies a central place in the hearts of Italians. It is devoid of boredom on a daily necessity for survival and brings all the nuances of a special adventure. In Italy eat slowly and with pleasure, rare to meet someone to take sandwich for lunch. Many of their offices close between 13.00 and 15.00 for their employees to lunch quietly. It is hardly possible at all to think about Italy, without you mean and Italian cuisine. And we can not fail to note the fact that Italian food is one of the most widely outside the country.
The meals, spices are different in different regions. The cuisine of Italy is divided into several main types according to the regions in the country – Roman, Tuscan, Sicilian, Neapolitan, Sardinian, Lombard and Piedmont. Each of these regions has its own typical dishes. The Italians are very attached to the kitchen of their region, and recipes for various dishes are passed from mother to daughter or son as often.
Besides historical territorial division can be classified two types: Cucina alto-borghese and Cucina povera (kitchen of the peasants and the poor).
Traditionally, the main meal is the dinner in Italy and Italian menu has the characteristic layout with seven major components.
Antipasto (olives, cheese or sausage)
Hot or cold appetizers
Primo (warm dish as risotto or polenta soup)
Secondo (usually dish with meat or fish)
Contorno (usually salad or vegetable)
Dolce (sweet dessert)
Digestive (usually grappa or liquor)
In Italy, wine is an integral part of the diet. You can see teens to drink wine diluted with water, together with their parents .This is considered normal for children after age 12.
I think we can trust the Italians – statistics show that they are the ladder of long-living people …

Your kidneys work hard to keep your blood clean and free from waste and toxins. In fact, they produce urine, which eliminates these toxins out of the body. When a patient has kidney failure or other type of kidney condition, their body may not be able to perform this anymore. This can be life-threatening without a diagnosis and treatment. For many patients, treatment is that of dialysis until they are the recipient of a kidney donation.
What is dialysis?
Dialysis is a treatment that is done to remove the wastes and toxins for the body when the kidney or kidneys cannot. It uses a special machine that pumps dialysis solution to performed what the kidneys are no longer able to perform. Patients will have dialysis performed several times a week for several hours to keep their body healthy. It is recommended until a patient gets a kidney transplant.
What do I do while I wait for a kidney transplant?
Waiting is the hardest part. There are only so many donations, and due to the way the kidney works, matching a kidney donation to a patient can be a long and difficult process. During this time, many patients deal with a range of emotions. They may be scared about not getting a kidney before their renal failure becomes more severe. They may struggle with the uncertainty of when they will get a kidney and how their life will change afterwards. All of this is completely normal, especially the emotions that come with a kidney failure diagnosis. Learning about what to do in the meantime can help ease the process. Speaking to the doctor about your needs and how long dialysis is required can give you the bigger picture of your journey. Patients can reduce stress and anxiety through medication, staying active and healthy, and with the help of support groups and talking with others who have been in your shoes.
Contact the Metropolitan Vascular Institute
Patients experiencing kidney conditions or those who are seeking a new dialysis center are encouraged to call the Metropolitan Vascular Institute to learn more about all we have to offer for new patients. Our facility is located at 3015 Technology Place, Suite #100 in Waldorf, MD and can be reached by phone at (301) 374-8540.

The PBJ Interview: Put reality ahead of the rhetoric
After years of inertia, seismic change is shaking Oregon’s higher education system to its roots. The driving force is a plan, referred to as 40-40-20, which seeks to put bachelor’s degrees in the hands of 40 percent of Oregonians by 2025, associate degrees in another 40 percent and high school diplomas in the remaining 20 percent.
Those targets are lofty.
In a visit last week with Portland Business Journal Editor Rob Smith and reporter Matthew Kish, Oregon State University President Ed Ray said he agrees with shooting high, but he said some “hard truths” are missing from the ongoing debate about higher education reform.
The top of his list?
While state leaders want to educate more Oregonians, the funding for state universities is so dire that many are filling classrooms with out-of-state students who pay higher tuition in order to bring in more revenue.
Ray said Oregon’s seven public universities enrolled 490 fewer undergraduate Oregonians this year than last. In short, that puts the state’s ambitious goals well out of reach.
“I am genuinely worried about how the hell we’re going to make 40-40-20 work,” Ray said.
Here’s a condensed version of the conversation:
How is the state doing on its higher education goals? Politics aside, I like this governor. What he is trying to do in education is wonderful, and the likelihood of it working is probably not great, but it’s wonderful. We are trying to do the right thing, but sometimes the rhetoric gets ahead of the realities. The state needs a strategic plan and a business plan, a blueprint for how we get to 40-40-20 and the sooner the better. We are severely at risk of not being able to pull this off. The situation that we’re in requires very serious attention.

Doctors at Perth's new Fiona Stanley Hospital have been treating about 100 extra people every day at the emergency department than at the now-closed Fremantle Hospital.
The increase has come without an apparent drop-off at other emergency departments in the Perth metropolitan area.
Doctors are unsure where the extra patients are coming from, although some suggest they could represent unmet need from Perth's southern suburbs.
Fiona Stanley's emergency department head Mark Monaghan said they were all legitimate patients rather than people essentially wanting to have a look at the new hospital.
Fremantle's emergency department, which was closed last month, had received about 160 patients a day.
Dr Monaghan said the new hospital had been averaging more than 260 since it opened on February 3.
Almost 290 patients presented on the department's first Sunday, six days after opening.
"It's been a really challenging few weeks [but] the department's doing very well," Dr Monaghan said.
"The staff have worked enormously hard. We've had a very significant patient presentation load."
Staff surprised by high demand
He said the numbers had taken staff by surprise.
"I expected to go up to that [figure] slower than what we have.
"Certainly, by day six going to 290 was an enormous shock to us.
"I was hoping to have time that we could get used to our processes and make that a bit more gentle. It hasn't been that way, but despite that we're doing all right."
Department of Health figures taken during comparable weeks in January and February showed emergency department attendance at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, Joondalup Health Campus and Armadale Hospital, had either risen or remained steady since Fiona Stanley opened.
Figures from Royal Perth Hospital during the same period showed a drop of 150 patients over a week.
Dr Monaghan said it was not clear where the extra patients were coming from.
"We drain a lot of the south below us, so it may be, particularly with our paediatric area, that children are coming up more than they would have otherwise.
"We'll see over time. At the moment, it's just been a challenging start."
In a statement, the Fiona Stanley Hospital said many of the patients had been walk-ins rather than people brought by ambulance.
"Although the volume of presentations increased very rapidly once the department opened, the numbers are in line with what the demand projections had previously indicated," the hospital said.
No capacity for future increases: AMA
The Australian Medical Association's state emergency division spokesman Dave Mountain said patient numbers typically increased when large new medical facilities were opened.
He said Fiona Stanley was addressing an unmet need in Perth's southern suburbs.
"Unfortunately the modelling is always done on the presumption that everybody's needs have already been met," Dr Mountain said.
"Whereas we know that in the community there are unmet needs and people that are not getting full service, and whenever you open a new facility or a new hospital, you actually meet that demand."
With such high numbers already presenting at Fiona Stanley, Dr Mountain questioned how future needs would be met.
"There's recently published research suggesting that emergency attendances are going to continue to increase over the next four or five years at quite high rates," he said.
"So we need to be planning for the future, not just hoping that Fiona Stanley was going to solve all our problems."
Health Minister Kim Hames has been contacted for comment.


Mokon (Buffalo, NY) now offers an expanded Hydrotherm circulating water temperature control system available in standard heating capacities from 3-24 kW. The Hydrotherm system is available in pump sizes from ½-3 hp and flow rates from 15-60 gpm.
Mokon’s Hydrotherm comes standard with stainless steel components for wetted surfaces and includes a stainless steel pump, heater canister, and pump suction manifold.
In addition, Mokon's line of Iceman portable chillers has now been expanded with a new unit that offers from 1/4-40 tons of cooling capacity in both air-cooled and water-cooled designs. These new chillers meet process cooling requirements to 5°F (-15°C). The main feature of the new 40-ton portable chiller is its tandem compressor arrangement that provides a flexible and energy-efficient design to ever-changing process cooling requirements. This design offers users the option to run the chiller at 50% if loads do not require the full 40 tons of cooling. —[email protected]
