Spring is here and Spring-cleaning comes to mind. Today we are talking about Spring-cleaning our lives, letting go, distressing our lives, and organizing our Lives with our great guest Christie Iurato. From the time she can remember, Christie has been transforming spaces everywhere she went. "It's this natural urge I've always had to make any space I'm in clean, clear and less cluttered. When I was a little girl, I remember going into my friends’ rooms and wanting to play organizing as a game! It was so fun for me and still is!” Years later, her friends started asking her to come to their homes and help with kids toys, clothes, kitchens and more and told her she should make a business out of this! Well, Christie took her friends advice seriously and founded her own organizing company in 2003.
Christie has organized and transformed hundreds of homes and offices over the past 10 years, has taken courses on counselling hoarders from Professional Hoarding Expert Cory Chalmers and has developed herself to be able to help people of all situations, backgrounds and diversities. Christie’s approach is very holistic, therapeutic, and helps bring people to a greater level of connection and appreciation for their home, offices and everything in them.

Do you agree with this statement: “The information overload is an increasing problem both in the workplace and in life in general?” Information and knowledge are great things, however too much information can short circuit our everyday life. Here is what I mean: In order for us to benefit from the information that we gather, we need to take the time to process some of this information and we need to pick and choose what serves our lives. Too much information leads to Information Overload!!! As I mentioned before, information can be a good thing, if we can pick and choose what is useful to us and discard the rest. On the contrary we are taking more and more information and we are adding to what we already have and that result is "Information Overload."
With one click on your smart phone, PC and tablets, you have access to massive information. Not to mention media like TV, radio, news...etc.
Information is also involuntarily given to us even when we don't ask for it. So what can we do about it? How can we manage all this information that we have and the information that we continue to receive?
Today, I will share some suggestions to help you manage some of the information you have and I will teach you how to be selective of the information you receive..

Tara Gesling visits Perfectly Healthy And Toned Radio (PhatMan Radio) to discuss her book the 180 Degree Wellness Revolution.
At just 28 years young, Tara was disabled. Diagnosed with a myriad of conditions including late stage Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, Chronic Pain Syndrome, Autoimmune Thyroid Disease, Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue left her overwhelmed with no hope for healing. The medical system prescribed surrendering to a life riddled with limitations and pills. Devastated, she never imagined this would be the beginning of an incredible journey from despair to triumph. It was from her lowest point of wheelchair dependence that Tara's personal 180 Degree Wellness Revolution was inspired. Her self-guided process of reversing damage and rebuilding health is restoring her to function and vitality.
She is an example of the healing that is possible when a simple, functional approach acknowledging bio-individuality is implemented. In this book, Tara shares her discoveries, research and experiences that have contributed to her return to a joyful and fulfilling life. The 180 Degree Wellness Revolution can help you learn to listen to your symptoms, begin uncovering the root causes of chronic conditions in your life and propel you to find your own healing solutions.
About Tara Meyer-Robson:
As a former benefits executive, Tara worked with hospitals, corporations, and organizations of every size to create programs that increased morale, reduced costs and helped employees become more well. In this capacity, Tara noticed that some people were successful at changing their lives or healing their bodies using positive training programs, while others - trying the exact same improvement techniques - had negative patterns, bad habits, and ill health that they could not seem to alter.
Determined to discover the core connection between life experiences, belief patterns, and manifested disease, Tara devoted five years to studying psychology, quantum physics, energetic medicine, anatomy and physiology, and philosophy. Her focus paid off; she finally made the scientific breakthrough that became The Flow Method - a remarkable transformation and healing program that works for all people everywhere.
This breakthrough also became the basis for Tara’s best-selling book, The Flow: 40 Days to Total Life Transformation, which has won 2 national awards: Finalist in ForeWord Magazine’s Book of the Year Awards and #4 of Soul Salon International’s Top Ten Books for Awakening 2009.
Tara is now an internationally respected speaker, transformation coach, medical intuitive, and mind-body expert. She has shared her empowerment and healing strategies on shows around the globe and is delighted to receive letters every day from readers who share their stories of life transformation, positive change and healing. In addition, she is about to launch The Empowered Empath Academy - an online training program to give Empaths the help, coaching, and resources they need . Find out more at www.tarameyerrobson.com.

MIO-ECSDE is a key partner in the project proposal “Plastic Busters for a Mediterranean free from Litter” which is in the process of securing the funds to be launched. It was labeled by the Union for the Mediterranean in 2016. The label delivered is the recognition of the urgency to join forces towards a shared and coordinated regional approach towards concrete actions and solutions against marine litter.
- Level of completion 0%
The overall goal of the Plastic Busters project proposal is to contribute to the de-pollution of the Mediterranean Sea through the promotion of the implementation of the Regional Plan on Marine Litter Management in the Mediterranean (Barcelona Convention – IG.21/9). The main objectives and activities focus on addressing the marine litter related knowledge gaps via monitoring and assessment; developing and implementing concrete actions to prevent, reduce and remove marine litter, including actions to enhance the awareness of stakeholders and catalyze change in their perceptions and attitudes towards waste.
The main objectives of the project are:
To address data needs and gaps on amounts, trends, sources and impacts of marine litter (art. 11 – IG.21/9) by applying the principles of Shared Environment Information Systems (SEIS) in line with the commitments under the ECAP Decisions of the Barcelona Convention, which will also contribute to and/or pave the way for a regional integrated monitoring programme.
To prevent and reduce to the minimum marine litter as well as remove to the extent possible already existent marine litter by using environmentally friendly methods and modelling tools identifying hotspots of marine litter, through the implementation and with involvement of relevant stakeholders, of specific/targeted no-regret measures to prevent and reduce marine litter in pilot areas (e.g. fishing for litter and “Healthy Seas”) as per article 4, 9 and 10 of the Regional Plan.
To enhance awareness on marine litter, its impacts, and the need of prevention, through information dissemination and awareness campaigns and initiatives; establishment of cooperation with other relevant initiatives/projects implemented in the Mediterranean and elaboration of recommendations to facilitate effective policy making at regional, national, local levels with regards to the reduction of marine litter in the Mediterranean Sea (articles 4, 16 and 18 of the Regional Plan).
A comprehensive assessment of the status (amounts, composition, and impacts on marine species & human health) of marine litter in the different environmental compartments of the Mediterranean Sea; a GIS database connected to and/or in synergy with other initiatives (e.g. DeFishGear project, the EEA’s marine litter related work, etc.), that will be used at the regional level (Mediterranean basin) to contribute to UNEP/MAP data bank on Marine litter;
A hotspot analysis/mapping of marine litter accumulation areas in the Mediterranean based on modeling tools to support the development and implementation of targeted marine litter ‘management’ measures in the most affected sites.
A set of comprehensive recommendations developed based on sound scientific evidence and findings to facilitate effective policymaking at regional, national, local levels with regards to the prevention, reduction and removal of marine litter at the Mediterranean Sea.
Strengthened involvement and participation of 50-60 regional marine litter experts in the development and/or application of harmonized monitoring methods and enhanced ownership of the assessment resultsa network of partners and marine litter experts established under the umbrella of SDSN and UNEP/MAP (UN).
At least 10 demonstration projects showcasing specific prevention and mitigation actions to prevent, reduce and remove marine litter at the Mediterranean Sea such as fishing for litter, collecting fishing ghost nets, setting up deposit schemes, to be implemented in a basin scale.
Awareness campaigns carried out in at least 15 countries of the Mediterranean aiming to promote co-responsibility of all stakeholders towards tackling marine litter.

Britain’s car industry is really motoring again.
By Robin Roberts.
Car production hit a 17-year high in 2016 with exports at record levels and 1.35M shipped worldwide.
Half of those went to Europe while Americans took nearly 50% more than they did in 2015 and it became the UK’s biggest single consumer country.
Figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders covered the UK’s 15 manufacturers.
Top ten British best-sellers worldwide were:
Nissan Qashqai, Toyota Auris, MINI, Vauxhall Astra, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Evoque, Land Rover Discovery Sport, Honda Civic, Jaguar F-Pace and Jaguar XE.
Domestic demand for UK built cars also grew last year, up 2.4% in the year, and the UK remains the second largest car market in Europe, again after Germany.
Mike Hawes, SMMT Chief Executive, said, “The tremendous growth in UK production is testament to the global competitiveness of the UK automotive sector.
“High class engineering, advanced technology and a workforce committed to quality have helped turn around the industry, making the UK among the most productive places in Europe to make cars.”

The evolution of the BBC’s digital asset management programme, known as its ‘Digital Media Initiative’, was borne out in its Life natural history series.
Executive director of the Natural History Unit Mike Gunton will tell the “behind the scenes” data capture and management story to delegates at a forthcoming data management conference in London -- both the broadcast footage and how the BBC curated the greater mass of the footage not shown.
First broadcast in 2009, Life took four years to make, traversed 150 global locations, and involved 2,000 days filming and 3,000 hours of high definition footage. The series consists of 10 one-hour episodes, and was co-produced with the Greek Skai TV, the Open University and the Discovery Channel in North America.
“Cameras can see things that the human eye can never see, and the images we take are, in effect, data”, Gunton said in a recent interview with SearchDataManagement.co.uk. While other speakers at IRM UK’s compendium event in November – Data Management & Information Quality/Data Warehousing & Business Intelligence -- will hold forth on data architecture, analytics and technology, Gunton has 70 slides of animals to display.
The filming that makes up a series like Life is one place where “big data” comes alive, and it needs to be managed with foresight. “Getting the metadata right is fundamental”, said Gunton.
“An image of a lion hunting in the dry season in the Serengeti will need to be logged, in the field, against three key editorial criteria: What is it? Where is it? What’s it doing? It’s quite a fag when there is so much else to do in the field, but it pays off in the long run. It’s not the end of the metadata story because we add more detailed information back at base, including qualitative data, before editing and then a final pass after post production when we add information about rights, re-use limitations and the like”.
Gunton recounted an early experience in his career as a natural history film maker that illustrates the data management practice that the BBC’s Natural History Unit is establishing. It was his first year at the Unit, and some monkey footage from a recent shoot was lost. Recounting his woe to a cameraman, a solution appeared as they talked. The cameraman remembered filming some monkeys in Bhutan in 1986. Gunton went to a BBC archivist who did a card search and tracked down the film that would make the point of the lost footage.
“Essentially, that was a primitive metadata search", Gunton said. "We want to re-create that process now in a more sophisticated and systematic way”.
Three thousand hours of footage lie behind the ten 50-minute programmes in the Life series – each episode also has a ten-minute ‘making of’ addendum. The footage is digital since tapes have been replaced by memory cards.
“Tapes get lost, damaged, and are hard to archive", Gunton said. "They take up walls of space [unlike digital]”.
Nor is the BBC data explosion likely to abate. The Natural History Unit is moving from 1k to 4k [higher definition] cameras, and is shooting more footage than ever before, said Gunton.
But digital video data handling is more than just about saving on storage. The BBC wants to repurpose footage, partly to fulfil an obligation to license payers, who, effectively, partly own it, and partly to commercialise it. There have been around 100 requests to use Life footage, said Gunton. “But the frustration is that the same shots get over-used, so that iconic images – such as the chameleon’s tongue trapping a locust -- lose their iconicity. With better metadata and speedier and more effective retrieval systems it should be easier for say, an advertising maker to retrieve an alternative, and equally suitable, alternative shot from the archive”.
The data management behind Life was part of the BBC’s Digital Media Initiative (DMI), an effort to allow BBC staff to develop, create, share and manage video, audio and programming content on their desktop to improve production efficiency.
“With this, we are trying to speed up the creative process”, Gunton said. With digital video, material can be reviewed in the field. It can be sent around the business and, in the case of a series liked Life, can be shared with co-production partners in the US and elsewhere. “More collaboration is made possible”.
The estimated cost of delivery of the DMI to the end of March 2017 is £133.6m. In February of this year, the BBC Trust published an independent report from the National Audit Office (NAO) that concluded the early stages of the programme, hosted by Siemens, did not achieve value for the money spent. The BBC later took the DMI in house. The NAO report said that, by contrast, ‘in-house delivery of the system has started well, and, while there is a considerable way to go before the programme is complete, users have been positive about the elements delivered thus far’.
The data management needs across the corporation are varied, said Gunton, making a system that meets everyone’s needs a challenge to find. “Metadata design is at an extreme with Natural History." The BBC in Bristol, where the Unit has had its home since 1957, has petabytes of data with a huge archive value, whereas the BBC in London will shoot footage that will never need to be seen again. “And so, a deep and complex metadata approach will only be applied to certain projects. So, maybe not a studio insert for the One Show, but news footage shot in Libya three months ago might need to be retrieved at some future point.”
In the meantime, film makers in the field, like Gunton, have the frustration of animals not reading the script.
“That’s the pain and pleasure of this. They don’t have agents, which is a good thing", he said. "We want drama from them, though. For example, the takeover of a gorilla clan, when the silverback is deposed. You have to roughly gauge when that will happen. You can’t ask the younger gorilla to do it on a certain date.
“With drama, everything is totally data managed. Every shot is slate captured”. Natural history is, he said, more like scripted reality TV, such as, in the UK, The Only Way is Essex or Made in Chelsea. Neither is made by the BBC Natural History Unit, nor the BBC, though life on both can be pretty wild.

Game #9-268: Campbell Fighting Camels at Longwood LancersJanuary 9, 2013 7:00 pm
Henry I. Willet, Jr. Hall
The Campbell Camels have become fairly familiar to the Longwood faithful over the course of the Division I era. Campbell has been one of the rare Big South teams that had no problem scheduling the Lancers when they were a DI Independent. The two squads had met six times with both teams winning three games before Wednesday night. I remember one January 2008 contest in my last year at Longwood when I got to the arena and was told there were no referees. After an hour and half beer delay (sponsored by WingShak RIP), some replacement refs battled the elements to tip-off the game.
Campbell has always had a soft spot in my heart. I went to golf camp there as a kid (Best Short Game '99!) and I've always kept an eye on the Camels. I mean, really...who doesn't love Camels? As many TMM travelers can attest to, Buies Creek, North Carolina, is a unique place to say the least (in a good way in my opinion). But we were not traveling to the Creek on Wednesday; instead my dad accompanied to Farmville as he has done so many time in the past.
Longwood's "arena" Willett Hall may have one of the most interesting set ups in college basketball. One of the most interesting facets of the set up is that the referees have to walk through the Lancers Club hospitality room to get to and from their locker room. This sometimes results in potentially awkward halftime situations as tempers can flare (never mine of course) but before the game I'll often greet the refs with a bit of brown nosing. Last night as I was enjoying my free appetizers and a $2 Yuengling I offered the officials a cold brew before they hit the court, sadly they declined. Other sad news came down, for Campbell at least, as I was in the room when the Big South's leading scorer Darren White was declared out for the game re-aggravating a knee injury. Simply put, the Camels have been a different team without White, even losing to a NAIA school in December.
Upon taking our seats the first thing I noticed was Camels coach Robbie Laing's outfit. I don't know if Laing thought it was retro night or what, but he was rocking a plaid blazers (with elbow pads), a striped button up, and a paisley tie. His get up didn't match some of Larry Brown's get up and the ABAs
, but it did hurt my eyes a bit and for that I applaud Laing for coming to a visiting arena and not being afraid to flash some style.
The first half was about as even as it could get as the two teams were tied at 32 at the half. The refs seemed like they were in a bit of a hurry only calling seven fouls in the first half, three of which were in one defensive possession for the Camels. Campbell was killing Longwood from the stripe as they were fifty percentage points better from the line going two for two while Longwood was just one for two.
Laing didn't adjust his dress at halftime, but he did adjust his team as the Camels stormed to a 24-13 to open up the first eight minutes of the second half. While Laing was busy adjusting, it seemed like Longwood coach Mike Gillian was reluctant to adjust despite the Camels killing the Lancers inside. Perhaps a 2-3 zone could have stopped the bleeding a little sooner? Nevertheless the game did tighten up again thanks to some stellar individual play from Tristan Carey; the Lancers tied the game up with about three minutes left.
This was the Coastal and so many other games all over again. Under four minute timeout, one shot or tied game, a final chess match between the two coaches. It seems like Longwood never wins this chess match or as my dad says "the Lancers find another way to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory." As Longwood was falling behind, largely because of stud Camel guard Trey Freeman, the most interesting event of the night occurred.
Mike Gillian may be a coach on the hot seat, I don't know because I've been saying the same thing for nine years now. But over the last four or five games he's had an increasing trend of tirades, yelling, skipping radio interviews, just frustration boiling over in general. With about a minute left, Karl Ziegler went up for a layup for Longwood and it was pinned by a Camel defender. Was it a goaltend? I don't know, it looked like it to me but Longwood was down ten with a minute left...in other words...who knows? Gillian thought he knew and went absolutely nuts. "There goes the tie" is what I was told on the radio. After stripping off his tie there was seriously a moment in my head where I thought "holy sh*t this guy is about to rip his shirt off..." as he kept fiddling with his collar and buttons all why going b-a-n-a-n-a-s. Gillian even used his last timeout to try to keep the protest going. It was one step short of a Bobby Knight chair throw in an attempt to get T'd up. In the end, the refs wouldn't give Gillian what he wanted and wouldn't T him up or eject him, which I'm sure made the mental frustration boil over even more. I don't think I've ever seen my dad laugh as hard as he did throughout the whole sequence of events. With this ummm...show from Gillian, I think it's only fair to call him "Magic Mike" for now on.
It was just one of the those kind of nights and just one of those kind of endings that I have come accustomed to being a Lancer fan. The game ended with a missed two handed, wide open dunk from Michael Kessens (sorry Vegas). The Camels won a tough road game without their best player 83-73. Trey Freeman had a masterful performance: 19 points, 10 assists, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists (so this is what a point guard looks like?). Longwood's star was TT Carey who dropped 23 points and grabbed 6 boards.
Campbell will now look to extend their win streak to five games as they head to South Division doormat Presbyterian.

After the government’s announcement of 7 p.m curfews – with immediate effect – professionals from the hospitality industry masked up and clapped together while standing six-feet apart outside No. 6, on Friday evening, Dec. 18.
With the aim of rejecting the Civil Contingencies and Restrictions, hospitality sector members demonstrated their displeasure with measures designed to further stifle the business and the local economy by the now-totalitarian global government of Gibraltar.
The new regulations were discussed during a meeting held on Friday morning, attended by the Minister for Public Health, Dr John Cortes and the Director for Public Health, Dr Sohail Bhatti. Samantha Sacramento, Minister for Civil Contingencies, read out the new regulations in Parliament on Friday afternoon. She did not rule out further restrictions announced next week if advised. GSD’s Elliott Phillips said the party empathises with this statement. Together Gibraltar leader, Marlene Hassan Nahon, said: “We agree with the measures implemented by Government.”

text: (14th century) An organic stone, amber is the fossilized resin from prehistoric pine trees. These now-extinct plants produced enormous quantities of resin which fell to the ground or filled large cracks and holes in the trees where it eventually became fossilized. It is hard and golden to yellow-brown in color. Amber was one of the first substances used by men for amulets, medicine and decoration. It was brought to the foothills of the Alps from the Baltic coast and the distances covered to obtain it, vast for those days, give an idea of its importance. In ancient times it was ground or soaked and then consumed or drunk as a remedy for illness. It was used in the fire ceremonies of ancient tribal healers and is still a sacred stone to both the Native Americans and Eastern Indians. From medieval days, it was burned to clear the environment of negativity. Amber brings romantic love, purification, wisdom, energy and balance. It enhances patience, altruism, strength, calmness, healing, remembrance of past lives and ancient knowledge. This stone absorbs and transmutes negative energy. Amber is considered to be healing, soothing and harmonizing and to exert a positive influence on the endocrine system, spleen and heart. It has helped in the treatment of asthma, ear trouble, infection, malaria, rheumatism and cutting teeth. It is sometimes called the “Mindful One” because it not only remembers past centuries but helps with simple absent-mindedness!

I love pumpkin! I’ve already been through an embarrassing amount of canned pumpkin this season and it’s barely October. I’ve been adding it to coffee, smoothies and of course baking a lot of pumpkin bread and muffins. And now, I can add Raw Pumpkin Cake to the list 😉
This recipe was inspired not just by my love for pumpkin, but by The Natural Citizen’s Organic protein. I received a small sample of their plant protein powder and was waiting for just the right moment to use it. I decided to create a Raw Pumpkin Cake: the crust is made from dried figs, nuts & seeds and the filling is made from pumpkin, coconut cream, The Natural Citizen Organic protein, maple syrup and a few flavorings (vanilla, cinnamon and salt). It’s a simple recipe that tastes decadent, but is filled with nutrients.
The Natural Citizen Protein is made from organic hemp protein, brown rice protein, pea protein and sacha inchi protein. What I love most about it is that there aren’t any fillers, added flavors or sweeteners!
*You may substitute 3 Tbsp of your favorite protein powder in place of the one I used. I suggest using a protein powder with a vanilla flavor or no flavor at all. Another option is to substitute collagen/gelatin in place of the protein powder.
I also tried freezing this cake and it turned out quite well. If you freeze it, be sure to let it thaw a few minutes before cutting. I topped my Raw Pumpkin Cake with unsweetened shredded coconut, sunflower seeds and bee pollen.
This cake serves about 6-8, depending on how large you want to cut your slices.

Lena Dunham has found dating "challenging" after getting sober.
The 33-year-old writer-and-actress has moved to the UK to work on HBO series 'Industry' and although she loves being out of the US, she's not having an easy time when it comes to meeting guys.
She said: "Here's the thing that I'm finding about dating here. I love being in England, love the culture, love the people.
"I'm sober, it's a choice, and I would say sober dating in the UK is a roughie.
"It was easy to find guys when I would drink because I would drink a lot, go over to their house, throw up and then they would have to let me stay.
"But in Wales when I was being a polite woman of dignity and grace, much more challenging."
And Lena appealed for people to set her up with a "little bit freaky" man who is also a non-drinker.
Speaking on 'The Jonathan Ross Show', she added: "If anyone in the audience knows of a nice, sober, respectable but a little bit freaky man who would like to take me to dinner, I'm open."
The 'Girls' star enjoyed filming in "romantic" Wales because it helped her to heal her broken heart following the end of her six-year relationship with musician Jack Antonoff.
She said: "It was so cosy. There were sheep all around us. I'm from New York City... Suddenly I'm in Wales sitting in a turret in a little castle like I'm freaking Charlotte Bronte.
"The whole thing was so romantic. I was recovering from a broken heart. That's where you go... I was healing."
And the actress enjoys the anonymity of living in Wales.
She said: "I just look like any Welsh lady walking around with nine hairless pets. When people did realise it was me, they definitely seemed confounded."
The full interview with Lena airs on 'The Jonathan Ross Show' on ITV on Saturday (07.12.19) evening.

When Kristina Cho started sharing Chinese bakery-inspired recipes for treats such as hot dog flower buns and red bean swirl buns on her blog, Eat Cho Food, she was surprised by the enthusiastic response from her followers. “I realised that there wasn’t a single comprehensive cookbook that covered modern Chinese baking and that void inspired me to write this cookbook,” says Cho. “Chinese bakeries were such an important part of my childhood and even still, I always look up a Chinese bakery in whatever city I travel to. I think this style of baking resonates with a lot of people and I wanted to give it the respect it deserved in the form of a cookbook.”
Mooncakes and Milk Bread takes readers through the full range of sweet and savoury items found in Chinese cafes and bakeries, from classics such as egg tarts, pineapple buns and turnip cake to Cho’s own twists on various treats, some of which she is particularly keen to highlight, including her Chinese Sausage and Cilantro Pancakes, Salted Egg Yolk Milk Bread Donuts, Honey Pistachio Mooncakes, and Sausage Egg and Cheese Sheng Jian Bao. “I wouldn’t consider these “traditional” recipes,” she says. “They incorporate flavours and ingredients more inspired by my upbringing in Ohio and life in California, yet still taste right at home in a Chinese bakery.”
A first-generation Chinese-American, Cho was working full-time in architecture when she launched her food blog, Eat Cho Food, featuring Asian-inspired recipes. After it took off, Cho was able to dedicate all her time to cooking and recipe development, while also teaching cooking classes and dumpling workshops, before embarking on the development of her first cookbook, Mooncakes and Milk Bread. Through this, she hopes to spotlight a lesser explored area of Chinese cuisine, yet one that she believes is accessible and appealing to a wide audience. “I think there’s a misconception that Chinese baking is completely different from the standard way of baking in America or Europe. But if you look at the offerings at Chinese bakeries—cakes, cookies, breads—they are really not too different from their western bakery counterparts.”
You started your career in architecture—are there any similarities between this discipline and cooking/baking?
A lot of my friends and peers from my architecture days actually love to cook and bake so I definitely think there is a correlation between design and food. Architecture school helped me develop my creative process, which I think really benefits me as I develop recipes. It starts with a concept and the intention behind your concept. Then there’s the iteration phase where you work on various options, test it out to see what works and how to make it more efficient. Once you find an option you’re happy with, you go through the process of bringing it to fruition, making sure it’s impactful and polished. This process works whether you’re talking about an interior space or a plate of spicy noodles.
What appealed to you about Chinese bakery in particular?
Chinese bakeries feel like a connection to my family and my heritage. I was born and raised in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio. From the late 1960s, my grandparents lived in Cleveland’s Chinatown, which is super small. I went to Chinatown weekly with my family to visit my grandparents, go shopping at the Asian markets, and eat dim sum. It however lacked a Chinese bakery, so we would go on family vacations to Chicago to stock up on our favourite treats. Some of my best memories are of visiting these bakeries with my family. While we tore apart all the buns and sipped on milk tea, my grandparents and parents would share stories of their life back in Hong Kong. So, even if it’s my first time visiting a Chinese bakery, a part of it always feels like home.
Why was it important for you to write this book?
Chinese baking is a big facet of Chinese-American and Asian-American culture that doesn’t get the representation that it deserves. This is a book that I wish existed when I was younger and teaching myself how to bake. I never really saw myself in the countless chocolate chip cookie and birthday cake recipes out there. I hope that other aspiring bakers and home cooks see a part of themselves and their families in my recipes.


Input circuits allow the input voltage to be stepped down by the ranging circuits, which could be a switch or automatic circuits. The ranging circuits also select the proper pulse stream from the clock and divider circuits. The test voltage is amplified and integrated with the gate pulse to produce a ramp voltage that will pass a selected sample of pulses. The number of pulses passed is related to the test voltage. These are shaped and counted, and then decoded to drive the seven-segment displays.
The electronic meter is used for resistance measurements in a manner similar to the way it is used for current measurements. Using the same types of amplifier stages as was used for the voltmeters and ammeters, where a 0.5-volt-signal produced a full-scale deflection, resistance circuits can be set up using standard battery source voltages supplying current to standard high precision resistance circuits, whose values are known. When the resistor under test is connected into the circuit, it will change the total resistance, resulting in a change in current flow, which produces a signal voltage that is directly related to the resistance under test.


DWU shows signs of progress in loss to Morningside
Not all losses are the same.
Even as Dakota Wesleyan University allowed more than 50 points for a fifth 30-plus point loss this season, the first half of Saturday’s 56-21 defeat to Morningside (Iowa) can be an area the Tigers (1-5) hone in on during a now-cemented third consecutive losing season.
The Tigers trailed 21-7 at the break, but it didn’t seem as overmatched like a year prior when it trailed by 27 points en route to a 69-0 loss.
They got off the field by forcing a punt and two of their four turnovers, and even against the NAIA’s best, it had a chance to make it a one-possession game numerous times. Trevor Lambert missed a 35-yard field goal on its first drive, and then DWU stalled on 4th-and-2 from Morningside’s 7-yard line.
“The reality of the situation is for a half our guys played extremely hard. We made some plays. We converted some third downs. We got off the field defensively,” DWU coach Ross Cimpl said. “. … The execution and being able to do that against the best team in the country should be something our guys can build on and focus on and hopefully put an emphasis on getting things cleaned up and not make as many mistakes.”
Arguably nothing in the first half stood out more than how much trouble Mitchell native Spencer Neugebauer gave one of the Great Plains Athletic Conference’s top defenses. He caught eight passes for 135 yards and a touchdown before the break, finishing with 10 catches and 149 yards as Morningside blitzed more in the second half.
He could’ve had a couple of more touchdowns if not for overthrows when he sprinted behind Morningside’s secondary. Still, deep posts over the middle set up his shorter receptions, as the Mustangs remained on their heels whenever he touched the ball.
“He’s a guy that everybody on the field is going to know where he’s at,” Cimpl said. “... That was a huge point of being able to keep them off balance.”
Zachary Lester also deserves credit for his 29-for-50, 305-yard and two-touchdown performance, albeit a pair of interceptions spoiled an otherwise solid outing. He didn’t start the week prior due to being quarantined for the prior week of practice, but it’s clear DWU’s best offense comes when he’s slinging the ball all over the field.
Lester has completed 59.7 percent of his passes for 1,063 yards, nine touchdowns and seven interceptions, as he’s attempted 42 or more passes in back-to-back starts.
Meanwhile, Jamin Arend’s carries have dipped from 18 per game through the first two weeks to 10.5 per game over the last four weeks. The Tigers still-evolving offensive line struggled whenever Morningside blitzed, as the Mustangs recorded 14 tackles for loss and seven sacks.
“Having (left tackle) T.J. Benton back in the lineup helps with experience on the line,” Cimpl said. “... I think it’s building a rapport with guys -- offensively and defensively. Understanding where guys are at, where they need to be and continuing to work on that as a group.”
Improving on both lines will be key for the Tigers in the final three weeks. Arnijae Ponder gashed DWU for 159 yards and three touchdowns on 20 carries, while Anthony Sims gained 59 yards on six rushes. The lack of pressure on Joe Dolincheck set the table for three touchdown tosses against DWU’s aggressive man-to-man coverage.
Even as DWU played man against one of the top receiving corps in the conference, it showed progress with how it disguised some of its coverages and Nate Rupprecht intercepted a pass.
Allowing big plays remains an issue, though. Morningside didn’t have 80-yard touchdown runs this year, but 30-yard chunks added up to 9.8 yards per play.
Heading into Saturday’s 1 p.m. contest against Briar Cliff (Iowa) at Joe Quintal Field, Cimpl wants to keep seeing the same aggressiveness, even if it turns into big plays for the opposition at times.
“Overall we want our guys to be aggressive,” Cimpl said. “We don’t want to change that part of what we’re doing.”

On March 18, 2020, the Canada Border Services Agency (“CBSA”) issued Customs Notice 20-09 “Changes in Requesting an Extension to the 90-day Period to Submit Corrections” in which the deadline for filing corrections is automatically extended by 30 days. Normally, when the CBSA issues a final report to an importer under audit (called a “trade compliance verification” in Canadian customs language), the importer normally is given only 90 days to make the corrections requested by the CBSA. According to Customs Notice 20-09, the deadline will be automatically extended by 30 days. Now importers who receive a final report from the CBSA have 120 days to file their B2 corrections (on an individual basis or by filing a blanket B2).
It is important to note that Customs Notice 20-09 does not change the “reason to believe” rules and only applies to situations where there have been a trade compliance verification. Voluntary B2 Adjustment Requests still need to be filed within 90 days of a reason to believe.
Customs Notice 20-09 does not suggest the extension of time is only temporary. It seems to appear that an administrative change will continue after the COVID-19 crisis has subsided.
Customs Notice 20-09 would apply to origin corrections, tariff classification corrections and valuation corrections.

My mom oil painted nickel-size roses on my wooden spinning wheel. How long should it take to dry?
- 1 decade agoFavorite Answer
Also drying time is affected by humidity in the area around it and the temperature. A cooler damp area will increase the time by as much as 50%-or it may stay tacky. A dry warm area will help it dry at he speed it is supposed to. Also-fingers do not allow paint to set either-so do not keep touching in different places to see if it is dry -gve it a day or two at least before you check.
- 1 decade ago
Oil paint is a kind of slow-drying paint that consists of particles of pigment suspended in a drying oil, commonly linseed oil. The viscosity of the paint may be modified by the addition of a solvent such as turpentine or white spirit, and varnish may be added to increase the glossiness of the dried film. Oil paints have been used in England since the 13th century for simple decoration, but were not widely adopted as an artistic medium until the 15th century. Common modern applications of oil paint are in finishing and protection of wood in buildings and exposed metal structures such as ships and bridges. Its hard-wearing properties and luminous colors make it desirable for both interior and exterior use on wood and metal. Due to its slow-drying properties, it has recently been used in paint-on-glass animation. Thickness of coat has considerable bearing on time required for drying: thin coats of oil paint dry relatively quickly.Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_paint

Google is wishing everyone a happy Earth Day this year with six animated Doodles.
For Google’s annual salute to Earth Day in 2014, the company has incorporated a series of six animals – the Rufous hummingbird, dung beetle, moon jellyfish, Japanese macaque, puffer fish, and veiled chameleon – into various animated logos:
Keep clicking on the logos to cycle through them all. You can also share the logos on Google+, Facebook, or Twitter, or do a Google search for more information on all of the animals.
The hummingbird logo may perhaps be a bit of an “hat tip” to those who regularly follow Google search news. In September, Google revealed Hummingbird, an overhaul of its core search technology that aimed to answer more complex queries.
One of the more comical animated logos is the one featuring a dung beetle, where the second O in the Google logo is – you guessed it – a piece of dung.
Google is also teaming up with Time magazine to celebrate Earth Day, asking users to share their favorite photos on Google+ with the #MyBeautifulEarth hashtag, and Time will be sharing them on their website. You can also view all the entries here.
The theme of this year’s Earth Day is “Green Cities,” with the goal of rebuilding cities and towns to be more sustainable. First celebrated in 1970, Earth Day is observed every April 22 in more than 190 countries to raise awareness about environmental issues.
Google has a long history of Earth Day doodles, starting back in 2001. The interactive 2013 Earth Day logo let you control the weather, while the 2012 Doodle featured an animation of flowers blooming, and an animal-themed Doodle in 2011 featured a panda, penguin, and other cute creatures.
Here’s a look back at all of Google’s Earth Day Doodles dating back to 2001:

SANFORD -- At her vehicular-homicide trial, Mary Hill hired a car-crash expert and an engineer in an attempt to blame her car and save herself. It didn't work. Now, her future may depend on an entirely different kind of defense expert -- psychiatrists.
Hill, 53, of Longwood was supposed to be sentenced today for killing two people in the crash -- including her 13-year-old daughter -- but for the third time in two months, that's been delayed.
Hill was admitted two weeks ago to a private psychiatric hospital in Gainesville.
Circuit Judge O.H. Eaton Jr. let her out of the Seminole County Jail to go there for an evaluation -- and if doctors said it was what she needed, to be admitted to its long-term in-patient program.
Hill is suicidal and suffers from severe, long-term depression and an addiction to prescription drugs, according to court records and the testimony of defense psychiatrist Walter Afield.
Her attorneys have asked the judge to let her undergo several months of inpatient psychiatric treatment at her own expense. Then, once she is released, she would be placed on house arrest.
Prosecutors, though, say she should be locked up. She has been placed in mental hospitals at least twice before. She should be sentenced to at least 21 years in prison, which is what state sentencing guidelines recommend, argued Assistant State Attorney Pat Whitaker.
The delay now is because of psychiatrists. Prosecutors have not yet received Hill's most recent mental-health evaluation, the one prepared by doctors at the Gainesville hospital where she was admitted last month.
Prosecutors have hired a psychiatrist of their own to comb through it, but he does not yet have a copy to analyze, Whitaker said Wednesday.
In addition, prosecutors hope to take a sworn statement from the doctor or doctors who prepared it, something that's also not yet happened.
Until all that comes together, Hill will not be sentenced.
Hill was driving a carload of teenagers home from the first day of school Aug. 7, 2000, when her BMW veered off Markham Woods Road about a mile from home and skidded broadside into a tree.
A state trooper estimated her speed at 73 mph. The speed limit was 45.
Killed were Hill's daughter, Amy, 13, and the girl's best friend, Carrie Brown, 14, also of Longwood. A third passenger, Zak Rockwell, now 17, also of Longwood suffered a head injury that left him in a coma for three days.
For her trial, Hill hired a crash-reconstruction expert and her most important witness -- an English engineer, who testified that her BMW sped out of control on its own.
On Feb. 28, a jury rejected their version of events, convicting her of two counts of manslaughter and two counts of vehicular homicide.
Hill was free on bond until April 16, when the judge ordered her to the Seminole County Jail after Afield, the defense psychiatrist, testified that she was almost certain to kill herself if she didn't get immediate help.

I remember when I was a tourist on Kaua’i, I was a bit concerned about these big signs posted on both highways into Lihue. I’d never heard of a banana virus before, and quarantines are usually serious affairs.
Then after driving past them all the time, you forget about them and don’t even notice them. After one trip back to the mainland, they again stood out for me and I took the picture above, southbound on Hwy. 56, as you approach Hanamaulu. That’s Ha’upu Mountain in the background, several miles away on the other side of town.
But what is the banana virus? It really is a virus that infects banana plants and keeps them from producing fruit. It is spread by aphids that feed on an infected plant and then infect any other banana plant they feed on. It is commonly called the banana bunchy-top virus because it causes all the leaves to grow stunted together at the top of the stalk, instead of spreading out palm-like. Here are two fact-sheets with much more detail about the virus, a PDF from the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources at the University of Hawai’i, and another PDF from the International Network for the Improvement of Banana and Plantain.
Aphids don’t fly very far, so it spreads mostly by people moving infected plants, which is the reason for the signs. After escaping the virus for a long time, it showed up on Kaua’i in 1997. I don’t know if the quarantine is meant to protect the local banana producers, keep the virus from spreading from one part of the island to another, or just to slow it down. Sadly, I’ve seen banana plants in the back of a pickup truck drive right past the sign—like I said, the locals probably weren’t even aware of it anymore. And I doubt anyone enforces the quarantine.
Source: bananas.bioversityinternational.org (PDF)
I do know the virus is all over the Wailua Homesteads area, inland of the Sleeping Giant. When I lived there, our banans were infected, and a friend who lives there says his area is infested. Normally bananas grow by themselves with little care, but that leads to people forgetting to inspect their banana patch, and then it becomes a reservoir for the virus. When you notice the disease, you have to chop down the plant, dig up the roots, and take it all to the dump in black plastic bags. And you probably have to do this for all the plants around it too, when they start to show the disease.
After I planted the bananas at our second house, I was careful to spray for aphids every month and trim off the old drooping leaves that tend to attract the aphids, and this really seemed to keep the plants healthy.


text: Two Honduran landrace sorghum (San Bernardo III and Manzano-177) [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] populations were evaluated to determine the effects of plant age on fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) development and mortality. A laboratory feeding study was initiated with leaf material 24, 68, and 111 days after plant emergence. Larvae that fed on whorl leaves of older plants suffered higher mortality and required longer time for development than those that fed on younger plants. Larval weight at 7 days of age was 16-fold higher when reared on leaf material from younger plants compared with leaf material from older plants. The innate capacity for increase was about twofold higher on younger plants compared with the older plants, the latter having a lower per cent N and water content. The detrimental effect of older plants on fall armyworm development may explain, in part, the low numbers of this pest from August through November on Honduran photosensitive sorghums planted during the "primera" (first rainfall cycle, April through July).

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Olanzapine (Zyprexa® or in a combination with fluoxetine as Symbyax®) was the second atypical antipsychotic to gain FDA approval and has become one of the most commonly used atypical antipsychotics. Olanzapine has been FDA approved for the treatment of schizophrenia , acute mania in bipolar disorder , agitation associated with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and as maintenance treatment in bipolar disorder Olanzapine is manufactured and marketed by the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly and Company.
Olanzapine is structurally similar to clozapine , and is classified as a thienobenzodiazepine Olanzapine has a high affinity for dopamine , serotonin , histamine , cholinergic muscarinic and alpha adrenergic receptors. The mechanism of action of olanzapine is unknown, however it is theorized that olanzapine's antipsychotic activity is mediated primarily by antagonism at dopamine receptors, specifically D2. Serotonin antagonism may also play a role in the effectiveness of olanzapine, but the significance of 5-HT2A antagonism is debated among researchers. Antagonism at muscarinic, histaminic and alpha adrenergic receptors likely explains some of the side effects of olanzapine, such as anticholinergic effects, sedation and orthostatic hypotension [edit </w/index.php?title=Olanzapine&action=edit§ion=2>]
Olanzapine displays linear kinetics. Its elimination half-life ranges from 21 to 54 hours. Steady state plasma concentrations are achieved in about a week. Olanzapine undergoes extensive first pass metabolism bioavailability is not affected by food.
Olanzapine is metabolized by the Cytochrome P450 system isoenzymes 1A2 and 2D6 (minor pathway). Drug metabolism may be increased or decreased by agents that induce (e.g. cigarette smoke) or inhibit (e.g. fluvoxamine or ciprofloxacin) CYP1A2 activity respectively.
Adverse events reported in the package insert for olanzapine include dry mouth, dizziness , sedation, insomnia, orthostasis, akathisia, and weight gain. Olanzapine is reported to cause extrapyramidal symptoms, tardive dyskinesia and neurological malignant syndrome , although at a much reduced rate when compared to the classical antipsychotics.
Recently the FDA required the manufacturers of all atypical antipsychotics to include a warning about the risk of hyperglycemia and diabetes with atypical antipsychotics. Additionally there are some case reports of olanzapine-induced diabetic ketoacidosis
There is data showing that olanzapine can decrease insulin sensitivity. In addition, increased triglyceride levels may also be an issue with olanzapine. Impaired glucose metabolism, high triglycerides, and obesity have been shown to be constituents of the metabolic syndrome and may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. The data suggests that olanzapine may be more likely to cause adverse metabolic effects than some of the other atypical antipsychotics.
In 2004, the Committee for the Safety of Medicines (CSM) in the UK issued a warning that olanzapine and another atypical antipsychotic, risperidone should not be given to elderly patients with dementia, because of an increased risk of stroke

Rob is great. Will use him again for sure. He arrived on time and my Delilah was happy to see him.
Rob did a great job with Bud! Prompt communication, followed directions, showed up on time, kept the place in great shape. Will absolutely hire him again!
Rob is fantastic!!! He clearly has experience with dogs who need more structure and discipline like mine. He leaves detailed summaries on the rover card, which is extremely helpful for me to see how my dog’s training is coming along. Very thankful to have Rob watch my dog!!!
A dogs best friend.
I grew up with dogs, and had an active role in caring for them since my childhood. I'm comfortable with all breeds and sizes, and have experience taking care of everything from a tiny Mini Pinscher to a full grown Newfoundland. I'm a very calm, level headed pet sitter, and have a very flexible schedule. I'm a very fast learner and will happily learn the normal routine (food/medicine schedule, play time, potty time, nap ...
What Rob would like to know about your dog
I'd love to know the breed ahead of time. I'm great with any breed but it's good to know in advance what kind of dog I'll be hanging out with.

Big congratulations are in order for Star Wars creator George Lucas and his longtime girlfriend, Dreamworks animation chairman Mellody Hobson. After nearly seven years of dating, the power couple is now planning a trip down the aisle.
According to the The Hollywood Reporter, a rep from Lucasfilm confirmed the engagement, which will be the first marriage for Hobson and the second for Lucas.
Both Hobson, 43, and Lucas, 68, have had extraordinary careers.
Along with her position at Dreamworks, Hobson is the head of the Chicago-based investment management firms Ariel Investments LLC. and Ariel Mutual Funds. Both organizations are reportedly among the largest African-American-owned companies in the U.S.
Lucas recently sold his film and television production company Lucasfilm Ltd. for $4.05 billion to the Walt Disney company. The deal included the rights to the Star Wars series, which he wrote and directed.
“For the past 35 years, one of my greatest pleasures has been to see Star Wars passed from one generation to the next,” Lucas said in a release at the time. “It’s now time for me to pass Star Wars on to a new generation of filmmakers.”
Lucas seems to be moving on the the next chapter of his life — which includes marriage!
There’s no word yet on when or where the two plan to tie the knot.
Join us in congratulating the happy couple!

VICTORIA, [Jim Tang, Colonist, May 26]—Victoria Tyees co-operated fully last night to start the week-long effort to save the city’s WIL franchise by coming through with a snappy 4-2 victory over Wenatchee Chiefs at Royal Athletic Park.
Attendance, however, must have been a bit of a disappointment to hopeful club officials. Despite a warmish evening, only 1,109 fans paid their way. While this was an increase of about 250 over the season’s average, there will have to be improvement in the remaining six games of the current home stand to reach the minimum objective of 10,000 for the week.
GAME SHOULD HELP
Club officials made no comment about the number of fans, but it was apparent that they had hoped for more. They did say, however, that they felt attendance would increase throughout the week and took some consolation in the thought that last night’s game should help.
Those who saw the game will agree to that. The Tyees, anchored by Jimmy Clark, who appears to have fully recovered from his hand injury and is once more the peerless shortstop, looked extremely good as they backed Bob Drilling’s steady pitching with errorless support and two clutch double plays. They were effectively throttled at the plate by Bud Bauhofer in a relief role, but they made their four first-inning runs stand up.
Drilling had trouble in only three innings as he came up with his second victory of the season. Three singles and an infield out gave the Chiefs their only two runs in the third. Drilling started a well-executed double play, which had Clark in pivot, to save possible trouble in the seventh, and Don Pries turned manager Mike McCormick’s liner into a twin-killing in the ninth as the Chiefs threatened when a single and Drilling’s second base on balls put the tying runners on with only one out.
Clark, in addition to his fine fielding, started the Tyees off with an over-the-fence home run in the first inning. It was an epic clout, marking as it did the first time the little short-patcher has driven a ball out of any park since he joined the Victoria club in mid-season of 1951. The only four-base clout he has had in the 202 games he has played was an inside-the-park poke last season.
It could have been Clark’s wallop, which went over the fence in left-centrefield, which unnerved starter Charlie Beamon. The colored Wenatchee righthander got Don Pries on a ground ball, then walked the next four men and gave up a two-run single to Bob Moniz for the four Victoria runs before he was derricked for Bauhofer.
Bauhofer, a promising young righthander, gave up three hits, all coming after two wre out, in the second and third innings, then held the Tyees hitless from there. But he came on the scene too late.
Wenatchee ..... 002 000 000—2 7 0
Victoria .......... 400 000 00x—4 5 0

EDMONTON — The Spokane Indians ran their current Western International League win streak to seven straight games Monday night by defeating the Edmonton Eskimos 7-4 in the opener of a three game series. The loss broke a four-game winning skein by the Eskimos.
The Spokane win was the first in four starts this season against Edmonton, who swept a series at Spokane earlier.
Three-run outbursts in the third and seventh innings proved the undoing of former Spokane hurler John Conant. The righthander's record with Edmonton now is five wins against four losses.
The seven consecutive wins are one short of the mark set by the pace-setting Lewiston Broncs at the start of the season. The victory gave the Indians, the league's cellar club a week ago, a firm grip on fourth place and left them five and one half games behind the Broncs who were rained out in Calgary.
Spokane ....... 003 000 300—6 11 2

VANCOUVER — An air-tight pitching performance by reliefer Lonnie Myers gave the Vancouver Capilanos a 5-4 win over the Yakima Bears Monday night in the opener of a three-game Western International League series.
Myers came in for starter Rod McKay in the fifth inning and allowed one hit while striking out three over the rest of the route. He was credited with his third win of the season, against no losses.
If all managers in organised ball had the same problems as the Capilanos´Harvey Storey, they´d be a happy lot.
Harvey is currently contemplating the happy situation of having so much talent aboard, he can take a day off from his third base chores and make like Casey Stengel on the bench.
Take young Jack Bukovatz, the flame-headed kid who played shortshop against Yakima while regular Chuck Davis takes a rest. His previous appearances were as a late-inning replacement for Storey.
To the delight of 1,159 fans, Bukowatz staged a one-man performance a little short of miraculous. He made impossible stop,s had three put-outs, four assists and one hit. One put-out and one assist came as part of a spectacular double-play.
Typical of his play was his stop of Herman Lewis´ground drive in the fifth inning. Lewis smashed the ball into the hole between short and third. It was a base hit from the time it left the bat. Bukowatz took off like Native dancer, went deep to his right, made a back-handed stab and came up with the ball. It was too deep to catch Lewis at first but the startled Yakima centre fielder only beat the throw by a step at that.
The Caps scored in the first inning when Don Wert, pulling out of his slump nicely, doubled to right centre. Frank Mascara walked. Wert took third when Storey forced Mascaro at second as Yakima´s Buddy Hjalmaa, attempting the double-play, threw the ball into the screen at first.
Yakima .......... 002 020 000—4 8 1
Vancouver ..... 120 000 20x—5 11 2

Gophers Overcome Slow Start to Win Opener
MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Golden Gophers men's basketball team sputtered early but rebounded to a 76-58 victory in the season opener against the University of Missouri-Kansas City on Friday.
Forward Joey King led the Gophers with 22 points but Minnesota only led by two at halftime.
The Gophers outscored UMKC by 16 points in the second half as Carlos Morris added with 13 points and Nate Mason finished with 11 in the win.
The Gophers (1-0) will continue the non-conference portion of their schedule Sunday as they host the University of Louisiana-Monroe at Williams Arena.


How much did we pay our Nunavut MLAs last year?
Ex-cabinet minister Jeannie Ugyuk the highest paid MLA in 2014-15
Members of the Legislative Assembly of Nunavut, dependent on the whims of voters for positions that are guaranteed for only four years or less, hold some of the most precarious jobs in the territory.
But with a guaranteed six-figure annual salary, Nunavut MLAs are rolling in the dough — especially those who manage to claw their way into cabinet.
A document disclosing annual MLA pay packages for the period between April 1, 2014 and March 31, 2015 — the most recent year for which numbers are available — shows the lowest paid MLA that year, Alexander Sammurtok of Rankin Inlet, pulled in $115,872.
As for the highest paid MLA in 2014-15, that honour goes to Jeannie Ugyuk, ex-cabinet minister and ex-MLA for Netsilik.
Before she quit in November 2015, during her last full year of employment Ugyuk raked in $208,084.
In comparison, the median income for her home community, Taloyoak, stood at only $22,630 in 2013 and at only $28,910 for all of Nunavut.
The legislative assembly pays MLAs under a complex system of salary payments called “indemnities,” plus the standard housing and northern allowances that all Government of Nunavut employees are eligible for.
Some regular members get extra payments for serving as committee chairs, and no two MLAs receive exactly the same amount. (See document embedded at the bottom of the page.)
In 2014-15, every MLA started off with a basic MLA indemnity of $97,355.
On top of that, each cabinet minister, except the premier and deputy premier, took in a ministerial indemnity: $75,505 per year.
And, on top of the basic $97,355 MLA salary, the premier gets the biggest ministerial indemnity of them all. In 2014-15, that was worth an extra $89,698.
That, plus the standard GN housing and northern allowance payments, gave Premier Peter Taptuna a total salary of $206,869.
Deputy Premier Monica Ell, who received the deputy premier’s ministerial indemnity of $82,601, recorded a total salary, including allowances, of $199,772.
Speaker George Qulaut, who got the equivalent of the standard cabinet indemnity, took in $195,439.
Even Samuel Nuqingaq, the disgraced ex-MLA for Uqqummiut who barely got a chance to try out his seat in the legislature, earned a basic salary of $56,170 and a northern allowance payment of $13,061 for a total pay package worth $69,231.
Between the fall of 2013 and the spring of 2014, MLAs imposed two suspensions on Nuqingaq for “unacceptable conduct” caused by alcohol abuse.
That includes the period between May 22, 2014 and July 16, 2014, when Nuqingaq was paid for doing nothing — because MLAs decided to suspend him with pay.
Nuqingaq eventually received a conditional discharge in October 2015 after pleading guilty to a charge of being unlawfully in a dwelling house in relation to an incident that occurred in his home community of Qikiqtarjuaq in February 2014.
In October 2014, MLAs booted him out for good.
His successor, Pauloosie Keyootak, who took the Uqqummiut seat in a byelection held Feb. 9, 2015, received salary and allowances worth $16,157 for the approximately two-and-a-half month period between the election and the end of the 2014-15 fiscal year.
For cabinet ministers, the benefits don’t end with their indemnity and allowance payments.
Cabinet ministers who maintain a primary residence outside Iqaluit are entitled to reimbursement for costs related to maintaining a second residence in the capital.
In 2014-15, Environment Minister Johnny Mike, who is from Pangnirtung, received temporary accommodation benefit payments totalling $70,397.79, according to a second document tabled separately earlier this month.
Under the same benefit scheme, Education Minister Paul Quassa received $58,780.22, Taptuna received $54,004.83 and Ugyuk received $38,650.37.
That’s not all.
Cabinet ministers from outside Iqaluit may also claim “home travel expenses” for themselves, their spouses and their children.
Under that arrangement, Ugyuk received $60,051.57, Taptuna received $59,090.48, Finance Minister Keith Peterson received $36,810.89 and Quassa received $23,309.72.
