Effect of Wheat Flour Replacement and Enrichment by Eggshells on the Quality Properties of a Laboratory Produced BiscuitJournal: International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) (Vol.3, No. 5)
Publication Date: 2014-05-15
Authors : F. F. Jumma; M. M. N. Ali;
Page : 1845-1849
Keywords : eggshell; enrichment; biscuit;
The aim of the study was studying effect of wheat flour replacement by eggshell on the quality properties of the produced biscuit. The ratios of the added eggshells were 5 %, 10 %, 15 %, 20 % and 25 %. The sensory, microbial and chemical properties of the produced biscuit samples were studied, and it was found that 10 % - replacement ratio (A3) treatment was superior in the treatments sensory properties followed by A2, A4, A1 and lastly A6. while at the microbial content of the produced biscuit samples, it was noticed that the bacterial numbers values were higher in A3 treatment and at low values in A4, A5 and A1 treatments the yeasts numbers were at their highest values in A4 treatment and at lowest values in A5 treatment and there was no yeasts growth in A1 and A2 treatments. From the result of the study it was also noticed absence of Escherichia coli and Salmonella bacteria growth in biscuit samples. The chemical content results of the produced biscuit samples showed that using eggshells gave a clear increase in calcium ratio with increasing of replacement ratio and calcium / iron ratio and phosphorus in the enriched biscuits. It may be recommended to add eggshell powder as a good calcium source in baking (biscuit and cake) production especially to the kids who dont eat milk and its products.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Thousands of people are without power and several Charlotte homes sustained heavy damage after the outer bands of Hurricane Matthew passed through the city.
There have been no reports of injuries, but uprooted trees snapped power lines and crashed into homes.
Anne Randall Hatcher-Klein's new home on Windsor Drive barely escaped serious damage after a tree in front of her house snapped a power line.
"It's kinda scary," Hatcher-Klein said. "We're just really fortunate!"
The damage did knock out power to Clayton Brewster's nearby home.
He heard the tree come crashing down.
Matthew's impact on the Charlotte area
"All of a sudden, I heard this big bang," Brewster said. "I thought it was thunder."
Over on North Tryon Street, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police said a woman drove off a nearby side road and abandoned her car before it got swallowed up by the Mallard Creek.
The heavy rain and high winds led one tree to crash into two homes near Sharon Amity Road.
Duke Energy and city crews have been dispatched throughout Charlotte to survey and clean up damage.

The couple tied the knot in a private ceremony on June 26, 2009, following a month of dating each other.
They had been married for much too many years without having any children to show for it. According to statements made by Wise and her husband Miller, the couple’s first child is not expected to arrive until the year 2022. Both of them have quite good occupations, which keep them fairly occupied.
DeWanda Wise’s Career:

The 37-year-old actress was offered a role in the next Disney film Captain Marvel, which also stars Brie Larson and is a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s (MCU) superhero tentpole, but she ultimately decided not to participate.

She began acting during her sophomore year at Atholton High School after being approached by Nathan Rosen, the director of the school’s theater program, who gave her a part in a play as an alternative to detention.

By Division of Trade and Consumer Protection
MADISON – Natural disasters like the earthquake and tsunami in Japan bring out the generous spirit in people. Unfortunately, scam artists take advantage of these tragedies and prey upon people’s desire to help the victims. This was the case following the devastating earthquake in Haiti last year.
“The scenes of unimaginable destruction in Japan will prompt many to donate,” said Sandy Chalmers, Administrator of the Division of Trade and Consumer Protection. “If contributors do their homework, they can ensure their donations go to charitable organizations with a well-established track record.”
Consumer Protection offers these tips to avoid phony charitable solicitations:
Donate to established, reputable organizations, such as the American Red Cross, UNICEF, World Vision, or other charitable organizations you know and trust.
Be suspicious of brand new, unknown organizations, along with those with names that are similar – but not identical – to established organizations.
Be especially wary of electronic solicitations such as e-mails and text messages, or postings on websites such as Craigslist. Scammers use these methods to quickly reach large numbers of potential victims. If you are not certain of the source of such communication, do not respond. Instead, contact the established charity of your choice and directly make your donation.
Never provide your Social Security number, credit card number, bank account numbers, or other personally identifiable information to a solicitor. This information could easily be used by an identity thief to commit fraud against you.
Avoid donating cash. Use a check or credit card (when directly dealing with a legitimate charity). When paying by check, be sure to make it out to the exact name of the charity.
Be cautious when making an online donation. Most legitimate charity websites end in “dot-org” rather than “dot-com”. Also, use sites with a URL address that begins with “https” – the “s” stands for secure. Only make a credit card transaction when you initiate the contact and know you are using a legitimate site.
Never feel pressured into making a donation. Legitimate charities will give you time to consider your options and do not expect an immediate donation.
If you are uncertain about a charity, check it out with the Better Business Bureau (1-800-273-1002) or http://www.give.org. Other helpful resources include http://www.guidestar.org or http://www.charitynavigator.org. Always find out what percentage of your donation is going directly toward relief efforts and what portion is used for administrative costs, etc.
Under Wisconsin law, most organizations soliciting for charitable donations must register and file an annual report with the Department of Regulation and Licensing. Religious and veteran organizations are exempt from registration.
“We are extremely proud of Wisconsin’s charitable reputation,” added Chalmers. “We want to all donations to be used as they are intended to help the victims in Japan.”
For more consumer information, or to file a consumer complaint, visit the Bureau of Consumer Protection’s website at datcp.wisconsin.gov; via e-mail at email@example.com or call toll-free at 1-800-422-7128.

Glanders is a zoonotic infection, and because of recent outbreaks among Equidae family, the possibility of its reemergence among human populations is a crisis. The causative agent is Burkholderia mallei, a Gram-negative, aerobic and highly contagious bacterium causing severe impacts with low infectious dose transmitted via direct contact to respiratory secretions, skin exudates of animals and fomite. Despite high mortality rate, no proper vaccination has been developed to hinder the infection spread. The disease is more prevalent in Australia and Southeast Asia, but has been eradicated in developed countries. Glanders’ clinical signs include pulmonary and disseminated infection depending upon type of infection. Recent reports and outbreaks from Iran and neighboring countries among horses in 2011 and 2017 (Pakistan, Afghanistan and Kuwait), mules in 2008, 2011 and 2017 (Pakistan and Turkey), donkeys and horses in 2011–2015 (Pakistan) and tiger and camels in 2011 (Iran and Bahrain) is a concern. Animal importation or exportation; particularly by healthy carriers is a key route of B. mallei spread. Thus, infection control strategies, accurate and screening before animals’ import, prevention of animal contacts and development of prompt diagnostic approaches and proper therapeutic strategies are essential. Different forms of glanders have emerged or re-emerged in various animals. The factors leading to the re-emergence of the infection mostly include no specific symptoms and anti-B. mallei antibodies, lack of early diagnosis and vaccination strategies, housing conditions, contact with infected and carrier animals and low infectious dose. Sporadic and endemic remote cases have remained in Asia and Middle Eastern countries. Control strategies should focus on surveillance; identify healthy carriers, quarantine and elimination of all infected animals.

Before we talk about Hillary Clinton, let’s talk briefly about Donald Trump. I’m not in the camp that believes he’s definitely going to lose the election despite all of the media indicators such as polls and buzz. That doesn’t mean I’m calling this election rigged, but I’m also not going to fall victim to the experience and common sense that told us long ago Trump couldn’t win the nomination, either. This is a weird election year, so dismissing Trump before the fat lady sings is foolish.
In the classic movie, The Princess Bride, we find our hero trying to save his love from the hands of the evil Vizzini. He challenges him to a battle of wits where Vizzini must discern which cup has poison and which is safe. Then, both will drink and the winner is the one not dead. The trick was on him, though. Both cups were poisoned. Wesley, aka Dread Pirate Roberts, had developed a tolerance for the poison, so regardless of which cup Vizzini chose, he would die and Wesley would live.
Some are reporting that there could be 100 million people watching the first debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Moderator Lester Holt will be alone in his duties of asking the questions. We’ll all be paying attention to the answers, but the questions themselves are actually equally or more important.
Communist-style state-run journalism is alive and well in the United States. We’ve seen the Trumpeters at Breitbart and Drudge make a mockery of their “conservatism” by hopping on the Trump train hard. We’ve seen CNN this week fire Dr. Drew after he questioned Hillary Clinton’s health. Now, Huffington Post has joined the attack on dissenting views by terminating David Seaman and removing his stories that also questioned Hillary’s health.
Arguably the most prominent argument made by pro-Trump conservatives is that Hillary Clinton will load up the Supreme Court with activist liberals if she’s the President. This is partially true, but there’s a more important thing to consider: the scenarios. Let’s look at those scenarios to understand why the best-case-scenario among likely outcomes in this election cycle for the Supreme Court is if Trump loses by a huge margin.
It needed to happen. The media refuses to point out that a person who has spent nearly over two decades in Washington DC has accomplished pretty much nothing, but the people know the truth (some of us, at least). Now with it trending on Twitter, we get to see just how people feel about Hillary Clinton’s lack of substance.
Pundits often like to look at the past and make comparisons, particularly in Presidential elections. They don’t always look at the circumstances, so we’ll do that before getting to the meat of the issue. I’ll keep it short to keep my blood pressure at bay.
Any other year, this would be a headline that Republicans would be cheering over and sharing with all of their liberal friends. Unfortunately, Hillary Clinton’s dismal 33% unfavorable rating is only the second worst in the 60 years that Gallup has surveyed with this question. The worst is her Republican nemesis. Donald Trump’s unfavorable is 42%, To put it into perspective, it’s almost double what Mitt Romney had in 2012 and is more than double what John McCain had in 2008.
In the movie The Untouchables, FBI prohibition officer Eliot Ness played by Kevin Costner had to form an autonomous squad of agents who could pursue Al Capone without risk of being corrupted. This dramatized retelling of real events highlights a time in law enforcement history when such things were required, but we’re well beyond the need for such a task force today, right? In a world with the Clintons, “untouchables” are exactly who we need.
Hillary Clinton should have been removed from office within a month after Benghazi. Then, she should have been thoroughly investigated along with anyone in the State Department, CIA, and U.S. military who allowed it to happen as it did.


High-powered Hyundai Elantra N Teased Once Again
As promised, the next-generation Hyundai Elantra lineup is about to expand further with the addition of a high-performance variant, the Elantra N. The automaker has released another teaser following the camouflaged sedan we saw last November.
In case you need a refresher, seven new N and N Line models will be part of the Hyundai family by 2022.
- Also: Hyundai Elantra, Ford Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Win 2021 NACTOY Awards
- Also: 2021 Hyundai Elantra: A Good Step Forward
Hot on the heels of the Kona N that debuted in April, the new Elantra N stands out with unique wheels, brakes, tailpipes and rear spoiler, among other things. As the latest pictures show, it also features bright red N dedicated side sills that emphasize the lowered chassis.
“We designed it to be a race proven sports car with dynamic driving capabilities and style that performance enthusiasts love,” said Till Wartenberg, Vice President of N brand Management & Motorsport sub-division at Hyundai.
As for the engine, the Elantra N will be a major departure from the standard Elantra and the Elantra Hybrid, of course. It will also be a pretty big step up from the 201-horsepower Elantra N Line. All signs point to this racier and more explosive version housing a 2.5-litre turbo mill rated at around 275 horsepower.
Hyundai will reveal more details about the Elantra N in the coming weeks, with the global premiere taking place online. Stay tuned.

Can you tell the difference between 15psi and 17psi? No you can't. We can't either, but Blakburn's digital gauge can. Today's wider, lower pressure tires are more pressure-critical than back when we just used to put as much pressure in as the pump could stand. It's not about fending off flats these days, it's about grip. And the difference between too much and not enough can be as little as a couple of pounds of pressure. The days of "giving it a squeeze" are over. - Swivel/Dual Head - Backlit Display - Accurate within 1% of pressure - Rated from 1-150 PSI - Key Chain Loop - 0.30lbs
You’ve paid for full suspension, now it’s time to use all of it. When the trail gets steep and rough, can you tell the difference between 150psi and 170psi by pressing down on your saddle? No, you can't; and neither can we. The Blackburn Honest Digital Shock Gauge can. With pro shop-level precision, and a zero leak valve, the digital readout will ensure you put exactly the pressure you need in your shock. The days of "giving it a bounce in the lot" are over! - Accurate within 1% of pressure - Compatible with all thread on air shocks - Rated to 350 PSI/24 BAR Max - Shop precision quality - Zero leak valve - Replaceable battery - Auto on/off - Easy to read digital gauge - 215g

Overcoming environmental challenges
With cities and urban regions being the locus of global socio-environmental challenges as well as hubs of transformative innovations, it is crucial to understand how marginalised citizens, local communities, civil society organisations, academic researchers, and governmental agencies engage in collaborative experimentations to reshape the urban environment and address the issue of inequality and its links with democracy.
Three main urban situations of entrenched inequalities will be covered by the project:
01 — the unequal environmental impact of the climate crisis on urban and peri-urban contexts, ranging from issues of water and sanitation access and urban heating to the environmental deterioration linked to waste and embedded pollutions and the unequal distribution of costs and benefits in urban ecological transformations;
02 — the unequal processes and outcomes underpinning the regeneration and renewal of public (and semi-public) housing estates, and informal settlements, many of which entail the significant displacement of existing communities (Alexandrescu et al. 2021; Lees et al., 2016; Johnson et al., 2021; Watt, 2021).
03 — then a third type of inequality relates to risks and vulnerabilities associated with climate change impacts (IPCC, 2022, Leclercq, 2021) and flooding-risk participatory governance (Mees et al. 2018). This is the case of various urban settings expressing environmental distress or concerns, especially linking water/flooding issues and quality of housing/environment (Bulkeley and Tuts, 2013; Samoli et al., 2019).
Our project aims to develop alternative modes of governance by developing strategies, policies and action plans for tackling inequalities via the inclusion of marginalised groups in participatory processes of urban co-production.

Catch Fe if you can. Many siderophores are peptides biosynthesised by the well-studied nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) multienzyme family. However, recent research has demonstrated that several siderophores, for example desferrioxamine E, are assembled via an NRPS-independent siderophore (NIS) pathway. In this minireview, research progress to date on the NIS pathway is summarised, and the distribution and mechanistic rationalisations of the pathway are analysed.

Do you have a hankering for some spicy Jamaican Jerk Chicken? Before you begin, make sure that you are preparing the meat safely!
Chicken, the base of so many wonderful meals. Loved by old, young, rich, and poor, alike. It goes in our sandwiches, makes fantastic stock, and is the cornerstone of one of the biggest fast food chains in the world. It is an economical source of protein, as well.
But as with every meat, there is a risk of food poisoning. While you may have read about raw chicken being a delicacy in Eastern countries, the fact of the matter is that it’s not safe to eat raw chicken in any form! So here’s a little reminder of how to keep your chicken on the right side of healthy and tasty, with a tasty Jamaican jerk chicken recipe.
Safe Chicken Practices
Don’t wash your chicken! Some people have been taught to wash raw chicken but this actually helps to promote cross contamination because washing poultry can spread the juices around and therefore spread bacteria further than the immediate area. Instead, simply pat dry with a paper towel and dispose of the paper towel directly.
Avoid cross contamination. The first thing to do to avoid this is to make sure there is nothing dripping from the package and make sure you use different surfaces for different foods. Make sure your chicken stays in one area and doesn’t touch anything else before being cooked. You only have to see a number of food poisoning claims that are made in any one year due to poor hygiene in professional restaurants. There’s a lot of them! I have separate cutting boards that I use for different types of food to help with this.
Thaw properly. If a chicken has been frozen raw, three of the methods of letting it defrost naturally include: placing it in the refrigerator overnight, in the microwave, or in cold water. Never leave chicken on a counter. And make sure that you keep the temperature of the outside of the chicken less than 41°F.
Cook it properly. You need to cook the meat to a temperature of 165°F. This needs to be on the inside of the meat, so you need to use a digital thermometer that is tip sensitive as well as check the meat temperature in various spots.
Jamaican Jerk Chicken
Now that you know how to prepare chicken properly, let’s make some tasty jerk chicken!
- 2 tablespoons thyme
- 1 tablespoon rosemary
- 1 tablespoon allspice
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons sea salt
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 3⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 3⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3⁄4 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons scotch bonnet peppers*
- 12 bay leaves
- 1⁄3 cup sugar
- The juice of 1 lime
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil
- 3 lbs of chicken
- Ground all the ingredients (except the lime juice and oil) into a fine paste.
- Whisk together the lime juice and oil.
- Rub the chicken with lime and oil mix (but don’t marinate).
- Coat chicken with the ground ingredients.
- Refrigerate for 1-3 hours, then remove and allow it to come to almost room temperature.v
- Grill chicken. Once seared, move it to the indirect heat part of the grill, cook it to 165°F (internal temperature).
And voila! Enjoy with some rice and peas and you’ve got an amazing Jamaican meal!
* Scotch bonnet peppers are also known as Bonney peppers or Caribbean red peppers. It is a variety of chili pepper named for its resemblance to a tam o’ shanter hat.
These peppers are used to flavor a variety of dishes from cuisines around the world. They are often used in hot sauces and condiments. The Scotch bonnet pepper has a sweeter flavor and stouter shape, which makes it distinct from its habanero relative (with which it is often confused). This pepper gives jerk dishes, both pork, and chicken, as well as other Caribbean dishes, their unique flavor.

In our first post responding to the skeptics, we showed that the skeptics support their skepticism primarily by relying on data about the Millennial generation (those born 1982-1994). The skeptics are correct that Millennials are not much different than previous generations when asked about free speech issues. We also argued that this debate has nothing to do with Millennials; it is about CURRENT college students, who are not Millennials. By the fall of 2015, most college students (especially at elite four year schools) were members of iGen, the “Internet generation” (sometimes called “Gen Z”), which begins around birth year 1995, and which first arrived at college around 2013.
We noted that the new attitudes about speech — including the idea that speech can be violence (even when it includes no threat), and corresponding requests for safe spaces and trigger warnings — only began to appear on select campuses around 2013 or 2014, and we noted that these ideas only became widely known after the wave of student protests that began at the tail end of 2015. Therefore, we pointed out, it is unlikely that nationally representative samples, drawing on students in America’s 4,700 institutions of higher education, could have picked up any changes before 2015, when colleges were still full of Millennials who had never heard of trigger warnings and microaggressions. We proposed that the best way to evaluate whether or not things have changed on campus is to examine data collected on current college students in 2016 or later, and compare it to data on current college students from 2014 and before.
When we performed such comparisons, we found some evidence that in fact things are changing. There is not yet much data available to make direct comparisons, but the GSS does show a change for the little bit of iGen data that it has (see figure 1 in post 1), and the larger Knight study showed a change just from 2016 to 2017. In this post we do a much deeper dive. We present far more data on current college students and we assess whether the campus climate has changed in the last few years with regard to speaking up and sharing one’s views.
The key question is this: are students and professors today more reluctant than they were a few years ago to share their views or to question dominant views? If so, then there is a climate or culture problem on campuses where that change has occurred. We note that the overall climate can change rapidly even if there has been no change in average attitudes about speech. All that needs to happen is that a small group of students begins imposing social costs on those who say things they don’t like, while at the same time college administrators do nothing to stop them. (For a fuller explanation, see this essay by Lee Jussim, or this one by Nassim Taleb, whose title explains the key point: The most intolerant wins: The dictatorship of the small minority.) If college students are more likely to report the feeling of “walking on eggshells” in the years after 2015 than they did in the years before 2015, then there has been a change in the campus culture, even if the average student’s support for free speech has not changed.

I have always loved animals and to me, they are little Angels who bring so much joy into our lives. I believe all animals are supposed to be our friends. When we have them, they are family. I wish that I could put an end to the abuse of them and wish that none of them would ever need to be rescued! However if it wasn't for wonderful people like Honeybee Gardens, and others out there that do this, we probably would'nt have such wonderful opportunities to adopt one of these special babies. All of my animals have always been rescues, or adopted from an animal shelter like this! I also believe in adopting adult and senior animals also and have. They are just as lovable and playful! Thank you for the opportunity to give to such a worthy cause! Just imagine if everyone did, we could help so many!!! Sincerely, Gina Bird. Fort Mohave, AZ

There is no limit to the number of items that can be created with paper. The Papier Bag series by German design company Authentics and one of its illustrious Designer, Stefan Diez, may look and feel like it is made from paper, but this tear resistant carry all gets it strength from a material commonly used in industrial applications. Water and dirt cannot harm the material which actually consists of tiny plastic threads.
While attempting to create a follow-up to his Kuvert Series and a line of travel accessories, the use of Dupont’s Tyvek (polyethylene) paper-like material seemed liked a natural choice for the project. Besides the ability to print any designs or effects on its surface, over time, use will create a patina on the bag’s surface, similar to the wear associated with leather.

Olympia Dukakis and her brother Apollo grew up in Lowell, Massachusetts, the son of Greek immigrants (their father Constantine originally from Asia Minor, and the mother of Alexander – from Greece itself).
City of childhood – mostly Irish-Catholic commune and family Dukakis profitable stand out. Interest in the theater Olympia woke up when her father formed an amateur troupe called ‘Club of Demosthenes’ that specialized in classical Greek plays. At the age of 13 years, Olympia has appeared on the scene. Later, she has postponed for a while his love for the theater, to get an education at Boston University, where she studied fizioterpiyu. For a while she worked in the specialty Olympia, and when plucked up courage again enrolled in Boston University – this time on the program studying Dramatic Arts. After graduating at the age of 28 years Olympia moved to New York. She was enthusiastic, went to all the auditions, just about any she had ever known, and eventually she started to get roles in off-Broadway productions. At one of these plays, she met actor Luis Zoriha. Nine months later they were married. In 1965, their daughter Christina was born, and in 1971, the sons of Peter and Stephen. Soon seseystvo moved to New Jersey. In 1973, Olympia, Louis and founded Apollo in New Jersey his theater. Their performances were a success, but a year later they had to close due to the fact that the government has cut the budget for such activities. Olympia continued to work. Despite the long list of works on stage and television, money and fame did not hurry to shed her heavy downpours. Finally, in 1987 there was a breakthrough – Olympia starred in ‘Moonstruck’, and for a while became a favorite of housewives. She went on to star in blockbusters making roles in films such as ‘Steel Magnolias’, ‘Mr. Holland’s Opus’, ‘Look who says’. In addition, Olympia Dukakis has lectured at various conferences on women’s issues and the environment.
Perhaps the only one who could not succeed at a young age, and after she knocked fifty years.

Sacramento gets on track for streetcars
City Council members voted unanimously Tuesday to move forward with a plan to bring a modern, electric version of the single car “trolleys” to connect neighborhoods in the central city and make getting around town easier for residents, workers and visitors.
Streetcars were a large part of the Sacramento cityscape between 1870 and 1947.
“This plan is not only a transportation enhancement, it is a vital economic development tool that we want to introduce into the city of Sacramento,” Fedolia "Sparky" Harris, senior planner with the Department of Transportation, said Tuesday.
Harris said that the purpose of the streetcar plan is to increase travel choices and mobility for short-range trips, and to provide connections between major transit stations, employment centers, commercial corridors and tourist destinations.
In 2006, the cities of Sacramento and West Sacramento, Sacramento Regional Transit and Yolo County Transportation District began working on a plan to create a streetcar line for the area and conducted a feasibility study.
Concerns from that study about route connections and alignment between the two cities stalled that streetcar plan, however.
The study presented on Tuesday was the result of a year of work by those four entities and months of community and business group input.
“The team did a great job of listening to everyone through the process,” said Patty Kleinknecht, executive director for The River District, a development area adjacent to downtown Sacramento.
“This project will help connect our neighborhoods and create a real economic benefit,” she said.
The study suggested four route plans for the central city and three more to allow connection to eastern Midtown, Sacramento State, Oak Park and the UC Davis Medical Center.
Routes are also suggested for major development areas, including the railyards, The River District and the Arden Fair Mall/Cal Expo areas, according to the study summary.
According to a feasibility study completed in January, the streetcars would complement the current light rail system.
Light rail trains are multiple cars connected together on a track network reaching into neighboring cities and suburbs that surround Sacramento. The primary focus of light rail is commute trips.
Streetcars are single cars that provide transit on short distances – longer than a comfortable walk, but within a short ride. They are meant to help get people around town without relying on automobiles.
Light rail stops are generally spaced every mile, while streetcar stops are every few blocks, according to the staff report.
Harris said the study indicates a large economic benefit to the area, including a potential $1.6 billion increase in property values and more than $3.5 million in increased local sales tax revenue annually for properties within three blocks of the starter line.
The starter line would be the first streetcar route completed, beginning in West Sacramento at the Civic Center complex, crossing Tower Bridge and ending near 19th and K streets in Sacramento.
The estimated cost to build the starter line is $125 million to $135 million, according to the report. Funding would come from a combination of sources, including federal and state transportation grants, local streetcar assessment districts and – potentially – transportation sales taxes.
“It’s been a long time coming,” Sacramento City Councilman Rob Fong said Tuesday.
“It seems daunting when you look at how much it costs per track mile, but if we don’t get started, we won’t get it done,” Fong said.
The next step in developing the plan is securing funding and completing environmental reviews.
With its vote of approval, the City Council recommended city staff work in partnership with the city of West Sacramento, Regional Transit and the Yolo County Transportation District to pursue a federal grant for the starter line.
Once the funding is in place and environmental studies and design plans are completed, construction of the starter line is anticipated to take 18 months.
“(The streetcar project) will make a tremendous difference as an urban circulator here in Sacramento, especially with all the things we are trying to do downtown,” City Councilwoman Angelique Ashby said.

Click here to buy Little Miss HISTORY Travels to SEQUOIA National Park
Barbara Ann Mojica has created another delightful picture book on an historic American site. Little Miss History takes us on a tour of Sequoia Natural Park. She teaches the reader the difference between redwood and sequoia trees. The author chooses the most interesting facts and uses her illustrations to clarify the information even further. The lifecycle of these trees is truly astonishing. Readers will be intrigued and amazed.
Although the measurements of the trees sound phenomenal, it is the pictures that strike home their immensity. Mojica’s illustrations are a clever merging of photographs with pencil crayon and marker drawings. She also utilizes humor to reinforce facts, such as using headstones to illustrate the lifespan of redwood and sequoia trees.
Mojica explains the history of the park and its importance. Her portraits of historical figures are remarkable. She ends the book on a somber note. Sequoia Natural Park is suffering from extreme air pollution. The author asks the reader what can be done about this. This picture book would be a perfect jumping off point for environmental discussions. I highly recommend this book, and the entire series, for those wishing to learn about fascinating historical American sites.

A trustee in doubt about whether to take a particular course of action may want to consider making an application to the Supreme Court for judicial advice.
In New South Wales, s 63(1) of the Trustee Act 1925 (the Act) provides:
"A trustee may apply to the Court for an opinion advice or direction on any question respecting the management or administration of the trust property, or respecting the interpretation of the trust instrument."
The advantage to a trustee in obtaining judicial advice under s 63 of the Act is that, if the trustee acts in accordance with the advice, then under s 63(2), the trustee will be deemed to have discharged its duty as trustee in the subject matter of the application (and therefore, cannot be guilty of breach of trust), provided it has not been guilty of any fraud or willful concealment or misrepresentation in obtaining the judicial advice.
Judicial advice is therefore a mechanism by which a trustee may obtain protection from potential exposure to a subsequent finding of breach of trust. However, the requirement that there be no fraud or wilful concealment or misrepresentation in obtaining the advice emphasises the need to ensure that all relevant facts are disclosed to the court when making the application. Judicial advice is private advice which is given to a trustee and the option of seeking it is something of which all trustees should be mindful in performing their duties.
There is an equivalent provision to s 63(1) of the Trustee Act in the Australian Capital Territory and materially similar provisions in Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia, some with varying scope and procedural elements. There are also some differences between those jurisdictions in terms of the level of protection which is afforded to a trustee who obtains judicial advice.
When should judicial advice be sought?
Judicial advice has commonly been sought by a trustee in the following situations:
where a trustee is in doubt about the proper interpretation of a provision in the trust instrument;
where a trustee wishes to amend the trust instrument and seeks the additional comfort from the court that the amendments are within the trustee’s power;
where beneficiaries of the trust are in dispute with each other or with the trustee; and
when a trustee wishes to commence proceedings or defend proceedings that are brought against it.
In relation to a trustee who wishes to commence or defend proceedings, guidance can be drawn from the High Court decision in Macedonian Orthodox Community Church St Petka Incorporated v His Eminence Petar The Diocesan Bishop of Macedonian Orthodox Diocese of Australia and New Zealand.
The High Court confirmed that:
section 63 of the Trustee Act is to be interpreted broadly; and
the only jurisdictional bar to the provision of judicial advice under s 63 is that which is stated expressly in the section - that is, whether the question on which advice is sought relates to the management or administration of the trust property, or concerns the interpretation of the trust instrument.
The High Court in the Macedonian decision has made it clear that additional limitations should not be "read into" the section. In this regard, the High Court has indicated that the following factors do not preclude the giving of advice:
the adversarial nature of the proceedings about which the advice is sought;
the tendency for the advice to foreclose an issue in those proceedings; or
the fact that the trustee seeking the advice is being sued for breach of trust.
In particular, none of the above discretionary factors is any more significant than the others in the context of determining whether judicial advice ought to be given.
Ultimately, a court will decline to provide judicial advice if the "jurisdictional bar" referred to above is not met. Accordingly, it is necessary to consider carefully the question on which judicial advice will be sought before embarking on an application for judicial advice.
It is also important to note that s 63 of the Act does not permit a court to exercise a trustee’s discretion in the place of the trustee but rather, having formed the view that a discretion should be exercised in a particular way, s 63 enables a trustee to obtain advice from the court as to whether the course it proposes to undertake would be a valid exercise of its discretion.
Commencing or defending proceedings
In the context of a question as to whether a trustee can commence or defend proceedings, the advice that will typically be sought is advice to the effect that the trustee would be justified in commencing or defending the proceedings (as the case may be) and in using the assets of the trust to fund its costs of the proceedings.
In the Macedonian case, the High Court stated:
"... a necessary consequence of the provisions of section 63 of the [Trustee] Act is that a trustee who is sued for breach of trust should take no step in defence of the suit without first obtaining judicial advice about whether it is proper to defend the proceedings."
In light of what the High Court has said, there is a good argument that a trustee who is sued for breach of trust is, in fact, obliged to seek judicial advice before taking substantive steps to defend the proceedings. Further, if the judicial advice is obtained in the form suggested above, it will resolve, from the outset, the question of whether it is proper for a trustee to fund the costs of the proceedings from the assets of the trust.
How can s 63 be utilised outside the context of commencing or defending proceedings?
The NSW Supreme Court decision of Re Perpetual Investment Management Limited as responsible entity for Perpetual’s Monthly Income Fund and Perpetual’s Wholesale Monthly Income Fund(in which the authors acted for Perpetual) demonstrates the flexibility of s 63 of the Act.
After obtaining a copy of the register of unitholders for two of Perpetual’s funds, Direct Share Purchasing Corporation Pty Ltd ("DSPC") mailed offers to unitholders to buy their units. DSPC informed unitholders that a "fair" price was $1 per unit, but offered to buy the units for 50c each. Perpetual repeatedly warned the unitholders against accepting the offers. Nonetheless, a number of unitholders completed the forms accepting DSPC’s offer.
DSPC subsequently presented signed transfers to Perpetual and requested that it process the transfers into DSPC’s name. Upon receipt of those transfers, Perpetual wrote to the relevant unitholders to ask them if they wanted to proceed with the transfer of their units to DSPC. Most did not. Perpetual then sought the guidance of the court under s 63 of the Act as to whether it would be justified in registering (or in not registering) those transfers to DSPC.
Although the proceedings were commenced on an ex-parte basis, DSPC appeared in court and expressed a number of objections to the court giving the judicial advice which was sought by Perpetual. Those objections included that:
this was not a question of the management or administration of the trust property, or the interpretation of the trust deed, so the court did not have power to give advice under the Trustee Act; and
as DSPC might seek to enforce the registration of the transfers by suing under s 1071F of the Corporations Act, any guidance the court gave to Perpetual would be pre-judging that issue.
The court rejected all of DSPC’s objections and provided Perpetual with judicial advice.
How can an application for judicial advice be made?
Pursuant to the Uniform Civil Procedure Rules 2005 (NSW), an application for judicial advice is to be commenced by a Summons and is accompanied by a Statement of Facts. It is not usually necessary to prepare affidavit evidence in support of such an application. An application for judicial advice is usually an ex-parte application. As such, the making of the application is within the trustee’s discretion and does not require the consent of the beneficiaries, or any third parties.
While the court may direct a trustee to serve notice of its application for judicial advice on any person, in the absence of such an order there is no requirement that the trustee serve notice of the application for judicial advice on affected parties, including beneficiaries of the trust.
Having said that, where the question is who are the beneficiaries or what are their rights as between themselves, s 63(8) of the Act requires the trustee to give notice to any person whose rights as beneficiary may be prejudiced by the conveyance or distribution before conveying or distributing any property in accordance with the opinion advice or direction (unless otherwise ordered by the court). The notice must state shortly the opinion advice or direction, and the intention of the trustee to convey or distribute property in accordance with it. Relevantly, s 63(10) states:
Any person who claims that the person’s rights as beneficiary will be prejudiced by the conveyance or distribution may within such time as may be prescribed by rules of court, or as may be fixed by the Court, apply to the Court for such order or directions as the circumstances may require, and during such time and while the application is pending, the trustee shall abstain from making the conveyance or distribution.
Any person on whom notice of any application under s 63 is served, or to whom notice is given in accordance with s 63(8), shall be bound by any opinion, advice, direction or order given or made under s 63 of the Act as if the opinion, advice, direction or order had been given or made in proceedings to which the person was a party (subject to s 63(10) of the Act and subject to any appeal).
Notwithstanding that there is no requirement to serve notice of an application for judicial advice on the beneficiaries of the trust or third parties, there may be reasons why a trustee would want to provide those parties with notice. In particular, there may be a question in relation to beneficiaries of the trust as to whether s 63(11) adds to the protection provided to a trustee by s 63(2); however, in relation to third parties who may wish to bring a claim, there is at least the potential for s 63(11) to provide additional protection to a trustee against such claims.

Here Are 6 ‘Uniquely’ Louisiana Foods You Can Try Today
Louisiana is home to probably the most culturally diverse cuisine in the country. The differences in dishes and cooking styles along I-10 alone are more diverse than in most places, but there is so much that is unique to the state of Louisiana that it seems impossible to quantify it all.
Our cuisine is characterized by the use of bold and diverse ingredients. From the "Holy Trinity" of vegetables (onions, bell peppers, and celery) to seafood, andouille sausage, okra, rice, and spices like cayenne, thyme, and bay leaves, these ingredients create a tapestry of flavors.
Several of Louisiana's best dishes are pretty well-known, though. Gumbo is associated with the state. Jambalaya is attributed to the state, too. But are there any foods that are both unique to Louisiana but also pretty well unknown outside of the state?
Louisiana boasts food festivals like Mardi Gras and the Crawfish Festival, where regional specialties are celebrated. Additionally, the state's love for cooking is deeply ingrained in its culture, with family recipes passed down for generations.
One Reddit user asked the question last year, and the whole thread was flooded with foods we all know but rarely see or hear about outside of the state.
Here are some of the top responses. How many of them have you had?
This one is pretty unique to south Louisiana. In fact, when I asked a couple of people the same question that was asked on Reddit, this was their answer. According to Wikipedia, chaudin, which is the French word for "stomach," is "also referred to as ponce or Southern Louisiana Ponce, is a meat dish from southern Louisiana, US, (primarily the southwestern portion of the state)."
Taking the lining of a pig's stomach, a sausage maker would stuff it with a mixture of (often spicy) pork and herbs, along with rice in some instances. Like most sausages, it can be smoked.
These rolls, which are usually fried and stuffed, are hard to find outside of Louisiana. You can buy the rolls, but what do you do afterward? Several recipes call for boudin or crawfish and rice. Some others call for meat and cheese mixtures. You can bake or fry the stuffed rolls and serve for a meal.
Couche couche is a traditional Cajun dish in south Louisiana. It was long a staple of Cajun families, and people still rave about it today. Made by combining cornmeal, salt, baking powder, and milk/water, it is mixed until it becomes the consistency of "damp sand," according to one recipe you can find online. Cook it until it dries out a bit and becomes crumbly, and it can be served with a variety of things, like milk, cane syrup, figs, or even with pork cracklins.
Here's another one you don't see much outside of south Louisiana. This classic Cajun side dish, according to the New York Times, is a "sweet, hot, juicy, milky, buttery combination of corn, onions and peppers. It’s often cooked in rendered bacon fat and enriched with heavy cream." There are variations based on what kind of pork you render out to cook the vegetables in, and other variations depending on what kinds of vegetables you like. But the basics are the same: corn, some sort of pepper, rendered pork, and cream.
Tasso, sometimes called tasso ham, is a smoked piece of pork that usually comes from the shoulder. It's rubbed with a mix of salt, cayenne, and garlic, then hot smoked until it's cooked through. It preserves the meat well and can be used in a variety of ways. It can be sliced and served alone, or chopped and used in jambalaya, red beans, or other Cajun dishes.
Emeril Lagasse's website describes it as a "traditional New Orleans dish for the slow cooker in all its peppery glory." This sauce/stew is usually served over rice and is cooked slowly as the flavors develop. Peppers, tomatoes, and some sort of meat - from andouille to alligator - make this dish beloved in Louisiana.
Did We Miss Anything?
There are loads of responses in the original Reddit thread. But are there some that should definitely be included here?

The gear scale parameter is used for converting between physical positions (in mm or degree) to motor steps. This article explains how to calculate the gear scale for robot and external joints.
The gear scales of robot axes are defined in the Robot Configuration File, the gear scales of external axes are defined in the Project Configuration File (configured via the CPRog/iRC PC application).
Calculating from hardware specification
You will need the number of encoder ticks (usually 500 per full rotation) and the gear ratio from motor to joint or linear axis. The following equation will give you the result in ticks per degree. The factor 4 may not be needed for non-stepper axes, like the BLDC ReBeL axes.
Gear Ratio x Encoder Ticks x 4 : 360 = Gear Scale
Gear Ratio: 48 Encoder Ticks: 500 48 x 500 x 4 : 360 = 266.667
Calculating from relative error
If you do not know the hardware specification you can try to measure the error of a gear scale value, then calculate the correct one from it using cross-multiplication.
- Use the gear scale of a similar axis (warning, if the value is too far off the axis might move faster than expected!)
- Jog the joint manually by a certain distance. Measure the actual distance (in degree or mm) and note the displayed distance.
- Calculate the new gear scale:
old Gear scale / displayed distance x actual distance = new Gear Scale


We recently added three new hens to our flock and our sweet, well-behaved little gals have picked up a very bad habit from the new gals - they are roosting in the trees at night! Our Cochins are still tucking themselves up nicely in the coop at night, but now I've got Grand Firs filled with chickens 15 feet up! Even my bossy Rhodies are doing it now. We let ours free-forage in the backyard, so catching them and tucking them in the coop at night would be - exhausting! I'm hoping I can clip their feathers as I can catch them, man are they wiley! We're fortunate in that we don't have a lot of ground-dwelling predators around here - no raccoons, coyotes, etc. but I'm worried about owls and eagles. We're expanding the coop just in case that's the issue, considering another pen and I'm going to have our farmhand cut the lower branches off the trees. Any other ideas?
