Following this excitement was the San Luis 4-2-2 OPEN (from 9th -11th). As usual all the matches were hard fought through the group stages with several going to the last match to decide the group winner. The semi-finals were played off between (A) Keith Jones’ SL team v (B) Brian Zelin’s MM team and (C) Doug Beattie’s SL team v (D) Eric Bishop’s VB team. Again the 4’s, ladies pairs & men’s pairs were closely contested but eventually, after all the twists and turns, the final was played off between Keith Jones, Colin Lindgren, June Jones & Sheila Cammack v Eric Bishop, Charlie & Lin Watkins & Lynne Bishop, with San Luis coming out as the winners.

Friday 14th LLB Southern League Division A: first match of the new season SL Lions v SL Tigers was another testing time with us finally all playing on our new carpet, although the persistent overnight rain did make the running speed and line different yet again. The silver footprints were quite unusual as well!! Several of the games were nip & tuck until the last few ends with the Lions winning through 12pts-2, shots 117-93. Winners: Ray Clarke, June & Keith Jones 20-15, Pat Bird, Sheila Cammack, Graham Bird 18-14, Janet McEneany, Keith Roberts, Peter McEneany 22-9, Kath Reid, Scott Malden, Phil Morrachan 23-19, Carol Lowry, Keith Phillips, Keith Lowry 21-11.

LA MARINA BOWLS by BARRY LATHAM
Looks like I got lumbered or something like that to do the report each week. I can remember doing this 14 years ago but I have to say if something occurs that I can’t do it on Friday then there will be no report unless someone volunteers.
So the season starts with the La Marina travelling to the other side of the world to play our good friends El Cid. We started well by getting all the bacon sarnies we needed on time but from there on we went rapidly downhill with all rinks losing bar one which just happened to be my rink. We were brill and Dave O’Sullivan, Wendy Latham and John Mallet carried me well. Mind you it was worth going for the meal afterwards.
The Seagulls played the Dolphins on Friday and this time my rink didn’t do so well , losing by two to Barry Sadler, Angie Butler and Maggie Sadler. The other winning rink for the Dolphins was Brian Duff with Martin Butler and Maria Duff. Three more winning rinks for the Seagulls were Len Daniels, in a close fought game of 16 – 14. Arthur Cronks’s rink was another tight game winning 20 – 17 while Terry and Jean Perchard and Captain Gina Hindle had a more comfortable win. Seagulls got the overall score by one. I think it was my wood on the last end !!!! Last to finish as usual.
The Sharks entertained the Emerald Isle Cavaliers with the Isle coming away the clear winners by four rinks to two plus the overall score. Our two rinks were Kath Manning, Jim Reeves and Alex Whyte and in a very close game of 22 – 21Ron Maiden, Phil Pape and Jim Manning nothing like keeping it in the family.
LA SIESTA BOWLS CLUB BY ROD EDGERTON
The Winter League season commenced with a home match against San Miguel and this match seesawed with both sides having the advantage at different times. However, it was the home team that kept their nerve and came out winners by 99 shots to 79.Winning rinks were Sheila Chorley,Rod Edgerton,Sue Jordan and Brian Fraser 27-9. Val Dalton, Alex Morrrice, Pat Harman and Jean Cooper 23-14, and Harold Charleton, Pat Moore, Bill Jordan and Brian Gardiner 20-18. Overall points score La Siesta 8 San Miguel 4.
The Blues first league match was away at Emerald Isle Claymores but despite winning the shots by 109-103 it was the Claymores that won the points 8-6. Two big wins for Joy Gardiner, John Taylor and Jean Cooper 31-15 and Beryl Styring, Ramsey Sinclair and Alex Morrice 30-4 helped but La Siesta just came up short.
The Golds started their home campaign in the Southern League with a 10-4 defeat at home to Greeenlands Cedars with a points score of 95-109.The winning rinks for La Siesta were Wendy Ralph,Tony Campbell and Johnnie Ryder winning 23-16 and Penny Porter Rab Logan and John Lincoln winning 21-15.With lots of new players La Siesta will look to improve as those players get more experience as we go on but well done to everyone for their efforts.
Two more Touring Teams are yet to visit with Fleet on Sunday and Burgess Hill on Tuesday.

SAN MIGUEL BOWLS CLUB
Congratulations to San Miguel players, Chris Collier and Stuart Denholm for winning the 2016 Mens Pairs Valencian Championships. It was a great game to watch. The triples, Eileen McLaren, Tom Dalgleish and Mary Dyer had a very close game right up to the last end. San Miguel were holding shot for game, when the opposition got a rub and it cost San Miguel the cup!! In the ladies singles, it was a rerun of 2014, Anita Brown (San Miguel) played Jackie Johnson (Quesada). In 2014, Anita won it for the second time, in 2016 it was Jackie’s turn, well played both. The rinks also went to the last end with Cliff Plaisted, Val Collier, Chris Collier and Stuart Denholm holding, when Bill Pain came in and cut the shots down for Vistabella to win.
Many thanks to all who helped in any way with the running of the competition.

Amanda Mraz and Brenna Renn (both Psychology) published an article titled, "Perspectives of Nonspecialists Delivering a Brief Depression Treatment in the United States: A Qualitative Investigation," in the journal BMC Psychiatry. Their coauthor Grace Woodard is a doctoral student in clinical psychology at the University of Miami. Renn''s effort on this work was supported in part by her Nevada INBRE developmental research project award (under grant GM103440).
Task sharing is an implementation strategy which increases access to services by training and supporting treatment delivery by nonspecialists. Such an approach has demonstrated effectiveness for depression and other mental health outcomes; however, few studies in high-income countries have examined nonspecialist providers’ (NSPs) perspectives of the acceptability, feasibility, and appropriateness of delivering mental health interventions. We examine qualitative reports of NSPs' experiences delivering a brief structured behavioral intervention for depression to adults aged 55 and older. This article is available open access.

SYRACUSE — The weather could not have been any better Saturday, May 21, for the 28th annual Cruisin’ Cuse Car show, hosted by the Wawasee Kiwanis Club. Warm temperatures and a slight breeze brought out not only the spectators, but car owners for the show, including a record number for the cruise-in Friday evening in downtown Syracuse.
Approximately 140 cars lined Main Street Friday for the cruise-in and 153 cars were entered in Saturday’s event. Bob Trame, who oversaw the parking, reported he parked the first car at 7:15 a.m. and the last car at 12:30 p.m.
The parking lot at Syracuse Community Center and North Long Drive was filled with various makes and models including Mustangs, Camaros, Corvettes, Pontiacs, muscle cars, low riders, street rods, muscle cars, and many more. One entry, which did not stay the entire event, was an antique fire truck, owned by Bremen Fire Department. The influx of participants was a pleasant site to Kiwanis members as weather conditions and competing car shows in other communities kept the numbers down the past several years. It was not just the numbers that were spectacular, but also the quality of the vehicles brought to the show.
“It was hard judging,” said one of the anonymous volunteer judges. “There was really a lot of top vehicles out there this year.”
Tammy Vandal stated “great weather made for a great show,” noting the weather the last couple of years hindered participation. “This is the first time in several years the weather was beautiful.”
Lunch provided by the Kiwanis was a sell out.
Plans are already underway for next year’s event, held the third Saturday in May.
Participants anxiously awaited the announcement of awards, given out in 29 categories — first and second place — and seven top awards. There were only two categories where no entries were received: non-Harley motorbike and Jeep Wrangler (modified).
Dave Slone, Warsaw, owner of a 1969 Chevelle SS received the Best of Show award. Slone, a newcomer to the local show, stated getting “best of show was a real honor. There was a lot of nice cars … tough pick.” He shared the Chevelle was his first car he owned, purchased in 1975 while in high school and held onto for 41 years. The car sustained heavy damage in an engine fire in 2007, and he was contemplating not trying to repair the car. But after encouragement from his wife due to all the time and money he spent in the vehicle, he decided to have it restored. The restoration took three years through the efforts of Automotive Unlimited, Performance Technology and Brian Bodh, Ligonier. “There is a lot of sentimental value,” Slone said, adding while most get rid of that first car, “I keep a hold of my stuff.” He plans on returning to next year’s car show, but isn’t expecting to win the top prize again, feeling everyone should get a chance.

On Thursday, 47-year-old Danny Masterson, the star of “That 70s Show,” was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison for sexually assaulting two women over twenty years ago at his residence in Hollywood Hills.
Masterson didn’t show any emotion when his sentence was read to him in court.
Four months ago, Masterson was found guilty of forcible rape at a retrial that took place in Los Angeles. He had initially been charged with raping three women.
Prosecutors had stated that Masterson drugged the women’s drinks in order to rape them. Then, he used his position in the church, that the women attended also, to avoid punishment for years.
The accusers had said that they were reluctant to file charges because of the church of Scientology has strict guidelines against public involvement with members’ concerns.
Masterson had been apprehended in June 2020 and had been out of jail on a $3.3 million bond. He had pleaded not guilty to the offenses and has maintained his innocence.

In today’s fast-paced world, anxiety has become an all too common companion for many individuals. The pressures of modern life can sometimes feel overwhelming, leading to a range of emotional and psychological challenges. Fortunately, technology has brought about new ways to seek help and support, even from the comfort of your own home. In this blog, we’ll delve into the world of online counseling for anxiety, exploring its benefits and how it can provide a lifeline for those seeking guidance and relief.
The Rise of Online Counseling
Online counseling, also known as e-counseling or teletherapy, has gained significant traction in recent years. With the rise of digital platforms and secure communication tools, individuals now have access to professional mental health support at their fingertips. This accessibility has been a game-changer, particularly for those who may face barriers to seeking traditional in-person therapy.
The Advantages of Online Counseling for Anxiety
1. Convenience and Accessibility
One of the primary benefits of online counseling is its convenience. Individuals can access therapy sessions from anywhere, eliminating the need to travel and saving valuable time. This is especially important for individuals with anxiety who may find it challenging to leave their comfort zones.
2. Comfort and Privacy
Online counseling provides a sense of comfort and privacy that traditional therapy might not offer. Individuals can engage in sessions from the safety of their own homes, allowing for a more relaxed and open atmosphere. This can be particularly helpful for those dealing with social anxiety or other anxiety-related concerns.
3. Wide Range of Professionals
With online counseling, individuals have access to a diverse pool of licensed therapists and mental health professionals. This variety enables you to find a counselor who specializes in anxiety or other related issues, ensuring you receive personalized and effective guidance.
4. Flexible Scheduling
Online counseling often offers more flexible scheduling options compared to traditional therapy. This is a significant advantage for individuals with busy lifestyles or irregular work hours, making it easier to fit therapy sessions into their routines.
5. Reduced Stigma
Online counseling can help reduce the stigma associated with seeking mental health support. The anonymity and distance offered by online platforms can encourage individuals who might have been hesitant to seek help otherwise.
Getting Started with Online Counseling
Embarking on your online counseling journey is as easy as a few simple steps:
- Research: Look for reputable online therapy platforms that offer licensed professionals with experience in anxiety and related issues.
- Choose a Counselor: Browse through the profiles of available counselors and choose someone who resonates with you and your needs.
- Schedule a Session: Book a session at a time that suits you. Most platforms offer options for video, audio, or text-based sessions.
- Prepare for the Session: Find a quiet and comfortable space where you can engage in your counseling session without interruptions.
- Engage Actively: Participate actively in your sessions, be open about your feelings, and collaborate with your counselor to develop effective coping strategies.
Online counseling for anxiety has proven to be a valuable resource for individuals seeking support and guidance in managing their emotional well-being. The convenience, accessibility, and personalized approach offered by online therapy can make a significant difference in the lives of those struggling with anxiety. Remember that seeking help is a sign of strength, and with the tools provided by online counseling, you can navigate the path towards a more peaceful and fulfilling life.


Race for post-US Syria begins? Russia asks Turkey to stay out even as Ankara plans attack
Moscow, Dec 29: After the US announced to withdraw its troops from Syria, the field is open for other powers to play and two of the frontline powers that aim to fill the US's shoes in the region are Russia and Turkey. The latter reportedly convinced the US to move out of Syria and now has plans to execute its own script in the war-torn country, especially with regard to the Kurdish fighters who Ankara targets to neutralise.
However, Turkey though has much geopolitical gain to make in Syria, Russia could be yet another obstacle. The Kremlin has reportedly asked Ankara to stay away from Syria and let its ally Bashar al-Assad to reclaim the territories after the US pullout.
According to reports by agencies and UK's Daily Mail, the Russian foreign ministry has said that it expects to territory to be handed back to Assad's forces after US President Donald Trump decided to pull out from Syria, which has been witnessing a year into its eighth year now killing hundreds of thousands of people, on December 22.
Turkey said it is working with the US to coordinate the withdrawal of the American forces but remains firm to clear the Kurdish fighters, who were backed by Washington to fight the Islamic State, from the town of Manbij in northern Syria near its own border. Pictures emerged on Saturday showing Turkish military vehicles and troop carriers being sent to the country's southern border with Syria.
Meanwhile, Syrian dictator Assad's troops along with Russian forces have also been deployed to the town's front line areas.
On Friday, Russian foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said that territories in Syrian eastern parts should be transferred under the control of Damascus as per the international law. She also said that Russia and Turkey had closely coordinated their actions in Syria but did not divulge anything further.

Be Patient Quotes
Patience is one of the greatest quality a person can have. Patience is the quality which enables a person to accept the delays or shortcomings in life with calm and composed persona. Patience is something which not everyone possesses because it is a rare quality. It is difficult to be patient when things are not going your way. But the reason why patience makes life easier is because it gives the person a chance to think straight and makes things right.
There are things in life that require more time than others. You wear yourself out for nothing In many and many a way! Why are you nervous and fretty When things do not move along fast; Why let yourself get excited Over things that will soon be past? Misfortunes have their life and their limits, their sickness and their health. For if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have no power to hurt you. So in like manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they. Apply discipline to your thoughts when they become anxious over the outcome of a goal.

Photographer Vincent’s (Yvan Attal) marriage is in its death throes; his wife wants to relocate with his two young children from France to Munich without him. In the midst of all this, a ghost from his past, former classmate Joseph Plender (the convincingly psychotic Clovis Cornillac) shows up, a cheery, benevolent blast from the past. Of course, Plender is not all that he seems: he is in fact a private detective with a neat sideline in blackmail (assisted by Sofia, aka Bond girl in waiting Olga Kurylenko) but his next target is more about revenge than it is about money.
Director Eric Barbier, ratchets up the tension, throws in a few welcome curve balls but resists being too clever-clever. His characters are troubled and for the most part believable, succumbing to the draw of wholly human foibles: jealousy, pride, lust, and vengeance.
The climactic set up arrives prematurely so we are left to anticipate the finale a little early but there are sufficient stylish, slick (this looks like a car ad at times) set pieces to slither this reptile towards a satisfying conclusion. Minimal extras.

While many of the nation’s largest companies are putting more resources than ever into corporate social responsibility, many small businesses continue to fall short when it comes to supporting community, social and global causes. Corporate social responsibility —CSR for short — is a broad term used to describe a company’s efforts to improve society in some way, such as raising and donating money, volunteering or adopting environmentally friendly initiatives. The benefits of being a socially responsible small business are many. Here are three important benefits:
Increased revenues. A recent survey by Cox Business found that nearly three-quarters of consumers would spend more money at a small business if it supported a social cause. Other studies have shown similar results. In one survey, 55 percent of consumers said they are willing to pay more for products from socially responsible companies. Research also has found that as much as 42 percent of how customers or clients feel about a company is based on their perceptions of the firm’s corporate social responsibility.
Recruiting assistance. One study found that 79 percent of Millennials said they consider corporate responsibility when deciding where to work. A study by Stanford University found that many MBAs would be willing to take a lesser-paying job to work for a socially responsible company.
More loyal employees. Research shows a strong and positive link between a company’s social responsibility efforts and employee engagement. And in one study, 83 percent of Millennials said they would be more loyal to a company with a CSR program.

They then gain proficiency in the performance of these skills during clinical rotations at local hospitals. The Phlebotomy program is closely aligned with the Non-Invasive Electrocardiography (EKG) program at College of DuPage.
Included in this program is instruction on medical terminology, anatomy and physiology, medical law and ethics, principles, procedures, and regulations involving the occupation of phlebotomy. Graduates of the Phlebotomy program are able to identify human body systems and functions and communicate and interact effectively with patients for the purpose of skillfully and safely obtaining a proper blood specimen, while maintaining patient rights by observing the medical code of law and ethics.
There is not a separate or additional admissions process to begin the Phlebotomy program. Students must have a high school diploma or GED. In addition, students must complete the reading pre-course test at COD with a score of category 1.
The certificate is designed for students interested in taking technical courses for immediate entry into a field of employment and for current health care workers who would like to update their phlebotomy and EKG testing skills.
Determine Your Path
Phlebotomists are employed in a variety of patient care settings, including hospitals, clinics, physician offices and laboratories.
Whether you are preparing for a career in phlebotomy or if you are interested in earning your certificate or continuing on to an advanced degree, COD offers:
- Dedicated instructors with years of professional experience.
- Instruction in top-notch facilities and on cutting-edge equipment.
- Affordable courses to help you achieve success without creating overwhelming debt or draining your savings account.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to your frequently asked questions regarding the phlebotomy program.
A phlebotomist is a health care professional who is trained to withdraw blood for the purpose of evaluation, diagnosis and treatment. Many health care facilities also require the phlebotomist to perform electrocardiography (EKG) tests that measure and monitor the electrical activity in the heart.
Using venipuncture and microcollection techniques, phlebotomists play an important role on the clinical laboratory team by collecting laboratory specimens prior to testing.
Other responsibilities might include inputting key patient data into computers using correct medical terminology, understanding chain-of-custody forms and drug screening procedures, using aseptic techniques and standard precautions, handling biohazard waste properly, and maintaining patient confidence and confidentiality.
Recognizing the importance of specimen collection in the overall patient care system, phlebotomists must be able to monitor quality control within predetermined limits while demonstrating professional conduct, stress management and communication skills with patients, peers and other health care personnel as well as with the public.
A career as a phlebotomist offers flexible hours, nice working conditions and a chance to perform an integral, respected job in the health care profession with minimal post-secondary education required.
In addition, a certificate in phlebotomy can serve as a stepping stone to other health professions involving clinical, administrative and patient care. In general, phlebotomists work directly with patients – from newborns to the elderly – in hospitals, clinics, laboratories, physician offices, convenient/urgent care companies and home health care facilities.


Widgets allow you to specify which resources you want to see and in what form, in whichever Tabs you want to see them. This enables you to build your User Interface to suit your requirements, and to easily manage large amounts of virtual resources or complex deployments at the touch of a button.
There are a number of different types of widget, each of which have a different selection of fields that can be displayed, and different actions that can be performed. The available widgets are as follows:
- Deployment Templates
- Deployment Instances
- SSH Keys
- Unit Balance
Smart Filters in Widgets
The results any Widget shows are based on the filters that are placed upon it, you can change these filters by clicking the modify icon in the top right hand corner of any widget where you have permission to do so. You then have a range of filters you can pick on depending on what type of resource the Widget is showing, for example in a Servers Widget some of the fields you can filter by are:
- UUID - The Universally Unique Identifier for a virtual machine. This is useful if you want to use a widget to monitor a specific virtual machine.
- Name - The name assigned to the virtual machine.
- VDC - The Virtual Data Centre (VDC) in which the virtual machine is located.
- Created Date - The date on which the virtual machine was created.
- Status - The status of the virtual machine, for example whether it is active, in maintenance mode, or stopped.
- CPUs - The number of CPUs allocated to the virtual machine.
- RAM - The amount of RAM allocated to the virtual machine.
You can also filter by keys that you have added to any resource. This is a powerful capability that allows you to manage and filter resources based on your own business logic and categorisation, such as per department, budget, maintainer etc.
Using Result and Key filtering gives you full control over what resources you want to see in the widget. For example a widget could be filtered to only display:
- All Servers in VDC 'alpha' that are running.
- All Resources in Project 'inkara' (by setting a resource key to 'Project' with a value of 'inkara').
- All Servers being maintained by 'Dave' (by setting a resource key to maintainer and a value to 'Dave').
- All Servers that were created more than two months ago but aren't running.
Depending on what you are filtering and why, you may wish to add or remove certain fields from the widget view to simplify the view. For example if you are prefiltering based on servers that are running, having a status field showing you that they are all running is somewhat redundant, but you may wish to ensure that the columns for CPU and RAM are still available. You can add and remove these from within the Manage Widget dialog. For more information about managing widgets, see Adding, Modifying, and Deleting Widgets.
Key Field Additions
As well as adding or removing certain preset fields about a resource you also have the ability to add information that you have stored in keys against the resource. For example you may have build a filter showing a list of servers that are currently running, and against each of these servers you have added a key of 'project' with a value of which project it is part of. Simply by adding an additional field of 'project' from the option at the bottom of the Manage Widget dialog allows you to easily display this information next to each server.
When you have finished modifying and placing your widget, you can then use it at any time. Most Widgets have the ability to create new resources of the type represented by the widget by clicking a button in the bottom left of the widget. For more information, see Creating and Managing Resources.
Widgets also have a multi action popup menu in the bottom left hand corner of the widget. This allows you to select and perform actions on individual or multiple resources at once, for example starting five servers at once.
Widgets have been designed to make it easier for you to view, manage and deploy resources in a way that suits you and your business best, by offering all the configuration options you need to customise them to suit them to your requirements.


BTS‘ latest album, BE, has topped this week’s new music poll.
Music fans voted in a poll published Friday (Nov. 20) on Billboard, choosing the K-pop group’s new eight-track album as their favorite new music release of the past week.

The set features record-breaking hit “Dynamite,” plus tracks like “Life Goes On,” “Fly to My Room,” “Blue & Grey,” “Skit,” “Telepathy,” “Dis-ease” and “Stay.”
Placing second on the tally with 25% of the vote was Mendes and Bieber’s poignant new collaboration “Monster,” which details the pitfalls of superstardom. The song follows Mendes’ previously-released track “Wonder,” and both will appear on his upcoming album, Wonder, scheduled for release on Dec. 4 through Island.
In third place was Cyrus and Lipa’s rocking new song “Prisoner,” which accounted for about 18% of the vote. The track’s accompanying music video finds the two superstars driving recklessly through New York in a tour bus.

Marrying Dallas' Past and Future
Not long ago, the former Titche-Goettinger department store stood windowless across from Main Street Gardens in downtown Dallas. Freese and Nichols’ architecture and construction services teams, in partnership with Ayers Saint Gross, transformed the building into the home of the University of North Texas Dallas College of Law, the first public law school in Dallas.
This historical renovation has preserved a legacy building, created opportunities for higher education, stimulated demand for downtown housing and showcased Main Street Gardens.
Our team replaced the monolithic façade with two five-story-tall curtain walls, opening new views of the skyline and Main Street Gardens, a two-acre park in one of Dallas’ most historical areas. This innovative reuse effort promotes a welcoming environment to work and study. The school’s first classes began in August 2014.

For an extra kick, add a dash of vodka to this refreshing drink.
Working in 2 batches, blend watermelon and lemon juice in processor or blender until smooth. Transfer to pitcher.
Bring 3 1/2 cups water and sugar to boil in medium saucepan over high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add hot syrup to pitcher with watermelon-lemon juice. Refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours. Fill tall glasses with ice. Pour Watermelon Lemonade over and garnish glasses with lemon wedges.
How would you rate Watermelon Lemonade?

I find the best way to make watermelon lemonade...is to leave out the water completely...and the ice cubes. Nothing to dilute the flavor. When I cut the watermelon in half I gut it out in a large pan...and scoop out the remaining flesh with a spoon. Messy...but the anticipated reward is worth it. I fill my blender 3/4 with the juice in the bottom of the pan and watermelon chunks. I then add a half-whole large lemon with the pulp and two cups of organic raw sugar to taste. Then blend. I enjoy it at room temp or after chilling in the fridge. Alternative additions...add mango or add strawberries to the watermelon.
This is our go-to beverage for family cookouts. I have used it for catered events and dinner parties as well. It is always a big hit. I prefer it with more lemon but my mom loves it as is. You have to be a watermelon lover to appreciate this recipe. Great with vodka or rum, too.
Took earlier suggestions and added more lemon and was restrained in my use of the syrup. My big change would be to strain it and make it the day before.
This recipe has become a signature drink for my parties. The trick is to stay true to the watermelon ratio but double the amount of lemon juice and be very cautious about adding the simple syrup mixture. The most I've used is half of the simple syrup but it could also be that I live in Arizona, and our melons are superb since they're locally grown.
I was really disappointed with this. I thought it had kind of a strange flavor to it, and it didn't seem to be very popular with my guests. I followed the recipe exactly and my watermelons were nice and ripe, so I don't know why my results seem to be so different from other reviewers.
Tasty, and a good use for the outside bits when you're cutting up a large melon. I used a mixture of lemon and lime and added some mint. Was balanced as was, but I can see would be good with more citrus, too.
so much better than lemonade, and I love lemonade! it was such a mild sweet/sour taste. very refreshing
Great drink. Did it without the vodka. I agree with previous reviews that it needs more lemon. The extra lemon just brings the lemonade flavour out more. It was a hit with my family, even some picky eatters.
This is a fantastic drink! I have made it several times for both family and guests and each time have received numerous compliments on how refreshing and great tasting it is. It also adds a nice splash of color to any meal being a vibrant shade of sunset red. Just a side note though to whom ever might be thinking of trying this drink, the watermelon is very strong in this drink so I found using two cups fresh lemon juice versus the one cup mentioned in the above recipe really made the taste buds pop. But it just depends on your taste.

CRIME VICTIMS AND THE POLISH POSTPENITENTIARY ASSISTANCE FUND: A CRITICAL ASSESSMENT OF A NEW INSTITUTION FOR EXECUTIVE PENAL LAW
The paper describes and analyses the regulation of a Fund which has been in operation since January 1st, 2012. The idea behind the Fund was to establish a centralised system for the management and fair distribution of financial resources allocated to assist crime victims and persons discharged from penitentiary institutions. Paradoxically, however, the two parts of the Fund come from separate sources. In the author’s opinion it is completely unacceptable to incorporate a regulation concerning victims of crime in the executive code of penal law, which regulates the execution of penalties imposed on perpetrators of crime and is not concerned with crime victims at all. The analysis of the details of the Fund shows that the legislator’s main intention was to find financial justification for his own activity and to create a means of control over non-governmental organisations assisting crime victims.

Today, the people of Egypt found that their perseverance, peaceful protest, and the voice of power reached to the airwaves and enacted a change the will be felt for generations. The Pharoah, Mubarik has stepped down as President, and the "arc of History" has bent to the people of this country, this ancient land, this place of history, and I am happy.
The other day, I was in the audience at the St. Louis Public Library, Schlafly Branch, and heard Isabel Wilkerson give a talk on her recent book, "The Warmth of Other Suns" and spoke to the immigrant heart that resided in my dad, in many relatives of black people who south a better life, much like the Egyptians today.
Earlier this week, my son brought tears to my eyes and rendered me speechless when he did a breathtaking performance as Walter Lee Younger in the KH Players performance of "A Raisin In The Sun". He brought a rawness to the role from deep down and I felt a power resonate inside him. There is some hope.
I then sat in my classroom and looked at a sea of faces, young college students in a quest for a degree. Some came from monied backgrounds and brought with them the air of always having things happen the way they expect.
Then it hit me this morning as I was walk-running my mile on the treadmill this morning, I had a week of intersecting events that have left a mark in history, whether I realized it or not. I felt it this week, something in the universe shifted and we will never be the same, there was a lifting of a heaviness, almost like shedding a fat suit, and finally being able to inhale deeply.

Dave Angel has been releasing electronic music for over 20 years, so it doesn't come as a surprise that his latest release is less frenetic than his jazz-techno records of yore. However, "Voodoo" is not short on the UK producer's signature techniques. Snares build and crash, smoky trumpets sound out in the background and a buzzing bassline provides the all-important backing. On "Tomahawk", the beats are stripped back and tough, but Angel can't resist adding musical elements and soon enough, it veers into hypnotic chord sequences. Finally, there's "Give it Up", which revisits his 39 Flavours of Tech-Funk mix thanks to its insistent percussion and dubby beats.
What is Album Only?
Some artists and labels prefer certain tracks to be purchased as part of an entire release. These tracks cannot be purchased individually but are available to download as part of the release

Last night I got together with my monthly Wednesday Stamp Club and tonight I will be getting together with my monthly Thursday Stamp Club. I am very much looking forward to it!
One of this months projects is this beautiful metal embossed notebook. These notebooks measure approx 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″. We covered the front and the back with Basic Black cardstock. Then we ran the light gauge copper coloured aluminum sheet through the Big Shot using the Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder. Next we used the new Sanding Block to distress the top of the metal.
We used Sticky Strip to hold the layers down as it is good and strong. To complete the notebook we create a pretty flower using the current In Colour Raspberry Ripple cardstock.
This project was a great success!
Please feel free to contact me if you would like to place an order!

Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
Per the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday:
As states across the country reopen and several report fresh outbreaks of the [Wuhan] coronavirus, many people are unsure how to navigate this confusing time. We asked experts about resuming a near-normal life while minimizing the risk of getting the virus that causes Covid-19.


The Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions (CPMR) says it welcomes the ambition shown by the European Commission with its revised proposal for a 2021 – 2027 EU budget and Recovery Plan, presented yesterday to the European Parliament.
In particular, the CPMR welcomes the bold and novel approach which foresees the European Commission raising €750 billion to be reinvested mostly through grants via EU policies such as Cohesion Policy and reinforcing key EU programmes as the recently launched Just Transition Mechanism via the revamped MFF.
CPMR President, Vasco Cordeiro, said: “We welcome the ambition and the innovative character of this new European Commission proposal, which is about equipping Europe to deal with the present crisis but also better preparing it for the future, with an important focus on Cohesion and regions.
“This is clearly a very good step in the right direction. We also fully support the creation of REACT-EU, in line with CPMR demands, which will help mobilise a substantial amount of fresh resources bearing in mind the fact that the COVID-19 crisis is affecting European territories and regions in very different ways”.
“The overall package will also help avert a funding disruption between the two financial periods allowing for an extension of current programmes in line with CPMR demands” he added.
The CPMR welcomes the noticeable step change of the European Commission approach to supporting key European sectors and industries, including via new instruments such as the Strategic Investment Facility, as well as the fact that the proposal is geared towards ramping up investments in climate and environment priorities.
CPMR Secretary General Eleni Marianou said: “we expect the Recovery and Resilience Facility to include a strong territorial dimension and the involvement of regional authorities in the designing and implementation of the investment plans, in light of the highly differentiated impacts of the crisis across regions and territories”.
As more details will emerge in the coming days, the CPMR will remain particularly attentive to proposals linked to ‘bridging’ the current EU budget period to the 2021 – 2027 programming period and aspects linked to the distribution of the funding for REACT-EU across affected regions.

AUGUST 31ST FULL MOON CASH MOB at Dancing Colours, 968 Main Street, Carbondale, 970-963-2965. Celebrating creativity for 8.5 years, Cathren Britt, studio/shop owner and creative designer admits to having boundless creative energy and being totally addicted to both the creative process and its end result. Cathy not only celebrates her featured artist’s creativity but also the customer’s desire to give a ‘creative’ gift/art/jewelry to a loved one. Cathy spends many hours hunting out the treasures she offers in her little shop! If the item doesn’t “scream” creative, it isn’t at Dancing Colours. “Dancing Colours offers me the opportunity to share my passion for beautiful creatively made gifts with others as well as my unbridled enthusiasm for the design and planning of ‘that next great project around the corner!’” said Cathy Britt. Dancing Colours has creative workshops for all ages, encouraging creativity as students learn to use new materials and techniques in a small intimate setting with ample one-on-one attention and lots of lighthearted fun! Workshops in paper arts, mixed media, mosaic, fiber arts and more! For Fall offerings, visit: http://dancingcoloursstudio.com/upcoming-workshops/. The Carbondale Cash Mob goals are simple: to support local business, meet new people and have fun! Exercise your power of choice, and support community! Bring a friend and spend $20! Pass it on! A CASH MOB is a group of people, organized online, who pledge to “ambush” a local business and spend $20 there. Instead of a flash mob where ordinary people spontaneously break into song and dance, a CASH MOB is where ordinary people rally via social media and (somewhat) spontaneously break into their wallets, free a $20, and spend it on locally owned businesses.

text: Purpose: The molecular basis of the tear film and lipid layer alterations in meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is unknown. This study aimed to identify and compare (O-acyl)-omega-hydroxy fatty acids (OAHFAs) derived from human meibum and tears in MGD. Methods: Of 195 eligible subjects (18–84 years, 62.6% female), 183 and 174 provided samples for tears and meibum, respectively. Subjects were classified into four groups: Normal, Asymptomatic MGD, MGD, and Mixed. Samples from the right eye of each subject were infused into the SCIEX 5600 TripleTOF mass spectrometer in negative ion mode. Lipid intensities identified with Analyst1.7 TF and SCIEX LipidView1.3 were normalized by an internal standard and total ion current, then statistically compared in MetaboAnalyst 4.0. Results: In meibum and tears, 76 and 78 unique OAHFAs were identified, respectively. The five most frequent and abundant OAHFAs were 18:2/16:2, 18:1/32:1, 18:1/30:1, 18:2/32:1, and 18:1/34:1. Two OAHFAs, 18:2/20:2 and 18:2/20:1, were identified only in tears. Initial univariate analysis revealed three differently regulated OAHFAs in meibum and eight in tears. Partial Least Square Discriminant Analysis showed 18:1/32:1, 18:2/16:2, 18:1/34:1 and 18:0/32:1 in tears, and 18:2/16:2, 18:1/32:1 and 18:2/32:2 in meibum, had variable importance in projection scores >1.5 and contributed the most to the separation of groups. In both meibum and tears, all OAHFAS except 18:2/16:2 were reduced in MGD compared to the normal group. Conclusion: MGD is accompanied by differential expression of specific OAHFAs in meibum and tears. These results suggest OAHFAs play a role in the altered biochemical profile of the tear film lipid layer in humans with MGD.

Published: 11 June 2019, by the European Commission
The EU aims to develop a smart grid that can efficiently integrate renewable energy sources into Europe’s electricity network while actively adjusting supply to homes and businesses according to demand at any given time.
To advance its development, the EU-funded project WiseGRID has created nine innovative products designed to increase the smartness, stability and security of a consumer-centric energy grid in Europe.
The products include a fast charging station for electric cars, technology enabling homes to generate, store and trade their own energy, and advanced smart meters which help households and businesses to reduce both their bills and their carbon footprint.
Demonstrations of the nine solutions are under way with more than 300 families and 25 companies using WISEGRID technology at five pilot sites in Belgium, Italy, Spain and Greece.
Once WISEGRID’s technologies have been commercialised after demonstration, the project could reach more than 100 000 people, potentially saving millions of megawatt hours of energy and tonnes of CO2, according to early projections.
‘We are witnessing a paradigm shift,’ says project coordinator Antonio Marqués, Director of Technology at ETRA I+D in Spain. ‘Our energy network was originally designed for fossil-fuel based, centrally produced electricity. The energy transition process – which WiseGRID technologies support – aims to achieve a renewables-based, distributed generation of electricity. This will definitely be more efficient and sustainable but will require a grid capable of accommodating many nodes exchanging energy ‘bidirectionally’ and we need the technology to manage this.’
WiseGRID has developed and is currently testing:
WiseGRIDs products all aim to make the energy sector more accessible to cooperatives and SMEs, so that the industry does not consist exclusively of traditional utility companies. They also want to empower individuals to become ‘prosumers’ – consumers who are also able to sell any spare energy they have produced.
This is major part of the project’s strategy to push the energy sector of the future towards a more democratic model that sees both businesses and individuals enabling Europe’s transition from fossil fuels to green energy.
‘We want to support the new players,’ says Marqués. ‘The tools developed by the project will empower people to help shape a new way of producing and consuming energy.’
12 Jul 2019
Following the successes of our final conference last month, WiseGRID is slowly reaching its end point. We have learned so much about building the smart grid of the future, and have developed 9 strong tools to bring in a large range of stakeholders. The projects implemented in the pilot sites have taught us how to engage citizens in the energy transition...

Austin, Texas: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Wednesday defied intensifying pressure over his new border policy that has gridlocked trucks entering the U.S. and shut down some of the world’s busiest trade bridges as the Mexican government, businesses, and even some allies urge him to relent.
The two-term Republican governor, who has ordered that commercial trucks from Mexico undergo extra inspections as part of a fight with President Joe Biden’s administration over immigration, refused to fully reverse course as traffic remains snarled.
The standoff has stoked warnings by trade groups and experts that U.S. grocery shoppers could soon notice shortages on shelves and higher prices unless the normal flow of trucks resumes.
Abbott announced Wednesday that he would stop inspections at one bridge in Laredo after reaching an agreement with the governor of neighboring Nuevo Leon in Mexico. But some of the most dramatic truck backups and bridge closures have occurred elsewhere along Texas’ 1,200-mile border.

More than a third of Londoners who claimed sickness benefits were found to be fit for work, new Whitehall figures revealed today.
Over 121,400 people who signed on for the Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) were deemed capable of working after checks and had their payments stopped.
Another one in three claimants — 121,700 — dropped their weekly claims ahead of a face-to-face assessment of their ability to work, some because they found jobs and others because they said they no longer felt they required disability benefits.
Ministers claimed the figures vindicated welfare reforms designed to encourage people back to work who might once have been signed off for life.
However, disability campaigners said the fitness tests were “ridiculously harsh and extremely unfair” to people with genuine illnesses.
Mike Penning, the minister for disabled people, said: “We spend more than £13 billion on sickness and incapacity benefits for almost 2.5 million of working age and we need to make sure that support goes to those who need it most.
“It is only fair that we look at whether people can do some kind of work with the right support, rather than just writing them off on long-term sickness benefits as has happened in the past.”
But the pressure group Disability Rights UK said it was “a disgrace” that many people had been deemed fit for work despite physical or mental health problems that meant they could not hold down a proper job.
Nationally, almost a million people who applied for ESA were found fit for work.

Ice Spice is in charge.
During a Billboard interview, the rapper’s (who released her first song in 2021, by the way) manager, James Rosemond Jr., shared that “The People’s Princess,” has not signed to a 360 deal, which refers to a usually predatory contract between a music label and artist in which the company stands to gain the most financial profit.
“I was privy to a lot of his deal-making, and me being a sponge allowed me to soak up what contracts looked like and how to approach labels,” Rosemond, the founder of Mastermind Artists, told the outlet. “‘Let’s do it ourselves first,’ Redmond suggested to Ice Spice before urging her to sign with a label. “Deals came to her — production deals, 360 deals — but they were deals that I knew could be better, and in order to get a better deal, you have to go out and do it yourself.”
Eventually, Ice Spice committed to deal with 10K Projects and Capitol Records that allows her to own her publishing rights and masters.
“No one on the label side touches the music. There is no traditional A&R with her,” said 10K Projects Co-President Zach Friedman. “No one’s picking beats, no one’s saying, ‘Do this, do that.’ It’s all her. We’re on her schedule.”
As previously reported by ESSENCE, this creative control an ownership has largely been atypical for music artists through time.
“Streaming has completely changed the industry for the worse, at least where artists are concerned.” Shari “Truth Hurts” Watson told ESSENCE. “We don’t make any money from it and the streaming structure also politicizes the industry in a way that makes it hard for artists to focus on the art.”
If you’ve noticed that song lengths have gotten shorter and shorter over the years, this is why. Most popular streaming platforms operate on a pay per play basis, in which low streaming music layouts have caused song length to shorten so listeners are encouraged to replay the song more often, thus bumping up the amount artists earn.
Since a platform like Spotify pays major artists between $0.004 and $0.008 per stream, this incentivizes artists to create shorter tracks. It doesn’t hurt that short song clips have the potential to go viral on platforms like TikTok.
This can usually be offset by brand deals and owning master recordings to be leveraged for commercial use over time, which we’re sure Ice Spice will continue to do. Kudos!
