To cook on the stove top : Prep time = 20 minutes. Cook time = 1.5-2 hours
To cook in a crock pot : Prep time = 20 minutes. Cook time = 6-7 hours on High
1 large leek, white part only
2 carrots, peeled and grated
1 large parsnip, peeled and grated
2 stalks celery, stringy skin peeled off
½ cup of barley, rinsed well
1 Meat Cuisine Bacon hock
2 x 250g Meat Cuisine fresh chicken stock
750ml hot water
1 x 400g can chopped tomatoes in juice
2 sprigs rosemary, left whole
3-4 fresh or 2 dried bay leaves
100g round green beans, finely sliced or 100g baby spinach leaves
A little chopped parsley or fresh basil and freshly grated parmesan to serve
1. Cut leek in half and remove any tough green leaves. Cut in half lengthways then cut each half to shorten it. Cut each quarter of leek into 4 even lengths then finely slice and place in a colander. Repeat until all leek is finely sliced. Rinse the leek well under a running tap to remove any dirt that is trapped between the leaves. Shake dry.
Grate carrots coarsely and parsnip, add to the colander. Cut each celery stick into 4 even lengths then slice finely into a small dice. Add to colander of vegetables. Toss the vegetables lightly with your hands and mix well. Add to large saucepan or pre warmed crock pot.
2. Add rinsed barley to the vegetables and mix through. Place the bacon hock on top of the vegetables. Pour over the chicken stock and hot water. Spread the chopped tomato evenly on the top. Add fresh herbs.
Cover and slowly bring to the boil. Or turn onto high in a crock pot or slow cooker and leave to cook for 6-7 hours.
3. When the soup has come to the boil, give it a stir then turn it down to a slow simmer and leave to cook covered for 1.5 hours. Check the soup occasionally and turn the bacon hock to ensure even cooking.
If you are using gas to cook on then it is often hard to keep a ‘slow simmer’. I recommend using a simmer mat which you can buy at your local hardware store. It is an aluminum disc that sits between the gas and the saucepan and distributes the heat more evenly and slowly.
4. After 1.5 hours on the stove top check the barley is tender. Remove the rosemary twigs and bay leaves. Add the finely chopped beans, return the lid. Bring back to a simmer and cook for a further 15-20 minutes. For a crock pot the soup will be ready after 6 ½ -7 hours. You can add the beans and pasta and allow it to cook for a further 30-40 minutes.
5. Just before serving remove the bacon hock and peel away the thick skin. Flake away the meat with you hands. Chop it roughly and add back to the soup pot or crock If the soup is a little thick after adding back the chopped ham then thin it down with a little extra hot chicken stock or boiling water. Check the soups flavour and add a little salt and pepper as needed.
6. Ladle the minestrone into warmed bowls and serve with toasted bread and butter or fresh chewy bread rolls. Sprinkle a little chopped parsley into each bowl and a couple of teaspoons of grated parmesan to serve.
* You can substitute 2 large onions for the leek. Cut into a fine dice to use.
* To freeze the soup to enjoy for a weekend lunch or quick evening meal allow it to cool down completely. Transfer into plastic lidded containers. Allow approximately 2 large ladles of soup per person. Write the quantity of serves and date then freeze. It will be fine for up to 3 months in the freezer.
* Bacon or ham hocks are interchangeable in this recipe. You could also use four large chicken drumsticks. 2-3 Lamb shanks would also make a tasty soup.
* Fresh chicken stock is now easy to buy and will add extra flavour and nutrition to your soup. If you like to make chicken stock and have an excess then use just chicken stock in the recipe in place of water.
*Barley is an ancient cereal grain and sold mainly as polished or pearl barley. It is slow to cook and usually takes around an hour. It provides good thickening for soups and stews and cooks to a chewy pasta like consistency. Barley will give great flavour to a soup as well as being great for your health and providing a good source of fibre.
If you do not have barley on hand you could also use Arborio rice and this would give a similar result.

It's very difficult, being so far away, to know what they might need and sending things they want can be as expensive to mail as to acquire! But everyone looks forward to having such wonderful high quality meats your company provides! Thank you so much for your terrific quality products and outstanding service!"

The Sun reports Prince Harry has persuaded Avril Lavigne to sing at the Party In The Park and is eager to meet with the singer backstage at London’s Hyde Park on July 11th. “Harry put Avril right at the top of his wish list of performers – and it has paid off for him,” a friend of Harry’s revealed. “He really likes her music and thinks she’s cute. He can’t wait. Not only will he see Avril sing, he’ll also get to meet her backstage and will be able to take a few friends as well. Avril is no doubt very excited too about meeting a member of the Royal Family – and who knows what could happen.”
Avril Lavigne Bonds With Galpal In Paris
April 22, 2004 – Avril held hands and put her arm around a female friend as they, along with the singers bodyguards take a stroll around Paris, France. The friends walked in the Luxembourg Garden area where they had lunch before heading off to visit the Catacombs on Wednesday (April 21).
Avril Lavigne Appears On Europe2
April 21, 2004 – Avril was on Europe2 in France to discuss her new album ‘Under My Skin’, her French language skills, if she imagined her success when she was younger, how she doesn’t like pumpkins, what she thinks about girls dressing like her, how most of the stuff about her on the internet isn’t true, and more. Pictures and video from her interview have since been removed from europe2.fr.
Avril Lavigne Chats With Canada AM
April 20, 2004 – Avril took part in an interview with Canada AM’s Seamus O’Regan to promote her new album ‘Under My Skin’. Asked if she feels a responsibility towards kids who look up to her, Lavigne responded, “Yah! I’m totally aware that so many kids look up to me and listen to what I have to say. And because of that I need to do something really important because this world is troubled, there’s a lot of issues. And for most people the problem is they’re not aware and I wasn’t fully aware until War Child approached me and started talking to me about issues and problems around the world. So now I just wanna learn as much as I can and do whatever I can and, you know, it’s just, it’s really bad and people need to know about it. So I’m gonna educate myself and stuff so I can talk about it more.” The interview video at ctv.ca has since been removed.
Avril Lavigne’s Life Changes
April 18, 2004 – Marcel Anders of Eins Live caught up with Avril for a Q&A and asked how the Canadian’s live changed after emerging on the scene with the smash hit ‘Complicated’. “I have now a completely new lifestyle and am total busy,” she said. “I am really constantly on the move, on the road or out for photo shoots… Nevertheless, it is a mad job, and I would like to have no different one.”
Avril Lavigne’s New Single
April 17, 2004 – According to AvrilBandaids.com, Avril confirmed yesterday at her show in Dallas that her next single of ‘Under My Skin’ is going to be the song entitled ‘My Happy Ending’. It is also said that the video is going to be shot on June 24th in Los Angeles.

– your choice of design or text
- Start by cutting out the desired design or text from the cereal box. Be sure to leave enough room on all sides of the design so that you can write in later.
- Next, use your glue and craft stick to attach the design to one side of the cereal box. Be sure to position the design so that it will be facing out when the box is finished.
- Now, use your black and white inks to write any desired words or messages onto the other side of the cereal box. Once you’re done, flip the box over so that the writing is facing inwards, and put it back into storage until your friends or family members are ready to receive their customized cereals!
How to Make the Boxes
Looking for a creative and unique gift idea? Check out custom cereal boxes! These boxes can be made in a variety of ways, so they’re perfect for any occasion.

- Choose a coordinating color scheme for your box. This will help you keep everything organized and make the project look cohesive.
- Choose a design that reflects your personality and style. If you’re creative, go ahead and decorate your boxes with fun graphics or patterns. If you’re more of a traditionalist, consider choosing designs that reflect your family’s heritage or favorite movie scenes.
- Choose a template or print out an image of your desired box layout and use that as your guide when cutting the cardboard sheets. Make sure to cut out plenty of extra sheets so that you can customize the box to your liking.
- Assemble the boxes by lining them up on a flat surface and then securing them together with tape or clamps. Be careful not to crush the delicate cereal packets!
- Finally, fill each box with some delicious snacks and enjoy your custom-made cereal boxes!

NEW YORK––Traveling through the Metropolitan Transportation Authority network, attentive subway riders will enjoy a top-rate museum experience comprised of myriad works by artists reimagined in mosaic, terra cotta, bronze, glass and more. One such stop––New York City’s 28th Street Subway station––features the botanical imagery of Brooklyn-based artist Nancy Blum.
More than 300 artists––though most are not experts in mosaics––have had their works interpreted in tile with a little help, The New York Times writes.
[The] artists have received a big assist from Stephen Miotto, a master craftsman in mosaics who has a studio in Carmel, N.Y., and the Friuli region of Italy. Mr. Miotto works with artists to recreate their visions in the mosaic tiles; once he and his team of skilled artisans are finished with the assembly, which can take months or more than a year, they press the mosaic into cement-covered substrate in the subway station.The New York Times
The New York subway system has incorporated mosaics since its opening in 1904, a tradition that continues today––over a century later.
The founders of the New York City subway believed that every design element in the system should show respect for our customers and enhance the experience of travel. Language was added to contracts that required the highest quality materials and craftsmanship. This led to the extensive use of ceramic tile, terra cotta and mosaics as decorative elements. As the century-old transportation network is restored and renewed, these decorative elements of the past are preserved and protected as contemporary art and design are introduced.MTA Art & Design
The MTA’s Arts and Design program now oversees the selection and installation of mosaics after a massive reinvestment and revitalization effort during the 1980’s. According to the MTA, the extensive subway system is now home to one of the largest and most diverse collections of site-specific public art in the world.
The MTA’s leadership determined that original, engaging and integrated artworks should be part of the rehabilitation and construction process and civic leaders and arts professionals agreed, lending their prestige and support to various committees that developed the policies and procedures to include art as an integral part of the rebuilding effort.MTA Art & Design
The 28th Street station isn’t Blum’s first subway installation. In 2007, her site-specific mosaic work Floating Auriculas was installed at the Dobbs Ferry station.
This piece spans a large retaining wall that runs parallel to the Hudson River. Commissioned by the Metro Transit Authority, Arts For Transit, the work is located at the Dobbs Ferry train station along the New York Hudson Line. Installed are seven full and partial ‘auricula flowers’ at 8 feet in diameter. They are made out of a combination of Italian glass and marble tile.Nancy Blum
Blum is, in fact, no stranger to public art with works installed across the country: her flora-inspired Enliven (2012) sculptures in Philadelphia, Dogwood Basins in Charlotte, North Carolina, and her monumental Revival (2015) enameled glass windows at San Francisco General Hospital, just to name a few.
MTA Arts & Design serves the over 8.7 million people who ride MTA subways and commuter trains daily and strives to create meaningful connections among sites, neighborhoods, and people.
About the artist: Blum received her MFA from the Cranbrook Academy of Art and has since become a widely sought-after visiting artist, critic, and lecturer at universities nationwide.

It has been almost a full week since President Obama announced his support of same-sex marriage. After a week of weighing public opinion, the question still stands, “Will this endorsement help or hinder the President?” There are two sides to this argument.
Let’s be clear, President Obama is the FIRST President to publicly endorse same-sex marriage. In turn, this very action could help rally supporters for Mitt Romney. We’ve seen this theme of choosing the “lesser of two evils” throughout history and that is the mindset that some voters are going to the polls with. It is no secret that plenty of traditional Christians are in uproar after getting wind of this, so who do you vote for? The practicing Mormon? Or the supporter of gay marriage? Polls are already showing an increase in Mitt Romney’s support from anti-Obama voters. For some people, gay marriage is a deal breaker for whom they choose to support. Some analyst believe that Romney will experience an influx of black supporters who just will not compromise on gay marriage, so they will either not vote at all or vote for Romney; both are bad scenarios for President Obama.
Polls reflect Americans protest to gay marriage has decreased to 43% from 60 % in 2004, with African-American’s opposition declining from 67% to 49%. If there is ever a perfect time to support same-sex marriage, this was it. It also doesn’t hurt the President that the remainder of states to vote in the primary are conservative states that he’s not likely to garner support from either way. I’m sure the Obama campaign administration is working hard to poll the public’s thoughts. Rev Jamal Bryant, a minister in Baltimore noted on the Tom Joyner Morning Show,
“Given the option I’ve got with Mitt Romney, I think I’ve got no choice [but to support Obama]. And I think African-Americans are mature enough to say, ‘This is not the issue I’m going to walk away from him [on].’ “
In 2008 we witnessed how many young people came out to the polls to involve themselves in a movement, i.e. voting for the first black president ever. Same-sex marriage could be the movement o f 2012.
At this point, voters truly have to pick their poison; there are still other key issues on the ballot such as unemployment, poverty, and education. What are your thoughts? Will gay-marriage be the deal-breaker for President Obama?

Published guidelines describing effective adolescent depression care in primary care settings include screening, assessment, treatment initiation, and symptom monitoring. It is unclear the extent to which these steps are documented in patient health records.
To determine rates of appropriate follow-up care for adolescents with newly identified depression symptoms in 3 large health systems.
Design, Setting, and Participants
In this analysis conducted from March to September 2014, structured data retrospectively extracted from electronic health records were analyzed for 3 months following initial symptom identification to determine whether the patient was followed up and, if so, whether treatment was initiated and/or symptoms were monitored. Records were collected from 2 large health maintenance organizations in the western United States and a network of community health centers in the Northeast. The study group included adolescents (N = 4612) with newly identified depression symptoms, defined as an elevated score on the Patient Health Questionnaire (≥10) and/or a diagnosis of depression.
Main Outcomes and Measures
Rates of treatment initiation, symptom monitoring, and follow-up care documented within 3 months of initial symptom identification.
Among the 4612 participants, the mean (SD) age at index event was 16.0 (2.3) years, and 3060 were female (66%). Treatment was initiated for nearly two-thirds of adolescents (79% of those with a diagnosis of major depression; n = 1023); most received psychotherapy alone or in combination with medications. However, in the 3 months following identification, 36% of adolescents received no treatment (n = 1678), 68% did not have a follow-up symptom assessment (n = 3136), and 19% did not receive any follow-up care (n = 854). Further, 40% of adolescents prescribed antidepressant medication did not have any documentation of follow-up care for 3 months (n = 356). Younger age (ages 15-17 years: odds ratio [OR], 0.78; 95% CI, 0.67-0.92 and ages 18-20 years: OR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.70-0.99; P = .008), more severe initial symptoms (moderate: OR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.82-1.21; moderate to severe: OR, 1.46; 95% CI, 1.19-1.80; and severe: OR, 2.14; 95% CI, 1.65-2.79; P < .001), and receiving a diagnosis (major depression/dysthymia: OR, 2.65; 95% CI, 2.20-3.20 and unspecified depression/adjustment disorder: OR, 1.75; 95% CI, 1.43-2.14; P < .001) were significantly associated with treatment initiation. Differences in rates of follow-up care were evident between sites (site 2: OR, 1.77; 95% CI, 1.45-2.16 and site 3: OR, 2.10; 95% CI, 1.72-2.57), suggesting that differences within health systems may also affect care received.
Conclusions and Relevance
Most adolescents with newly identified depression symptoms received some treatment, usually including psychotherapy, within the first 3 months after identification. However, follow-up care was low and substantial variation existed between sites. These results raise concerns about the quality of care for adolescent depression.

ELDERS CLIMATE ACTION STANDS IN SOLIDARITY WITH GLOBAL YOUTH CLIMATE ACTIVISTS!
When Elders Climate Action was formed in 2014, the youth were in our hearts. For our children, our grandchildren and all future generations, we have worked to mobilize the wisdom, the voices, the votes and the collective power of our older generations to end the climate emergency that threatens life on our planet. ECA’s membership today stands at over 12,500, with twelve active regional chapters and more in formation. We work in partnerships with more than 75 other organizations to end the climate crisis.
ECA salutes the powerful rising of youth climate activists seizing this moment to lead the struggle for the just and sustainable way of life that they deserve. These committed young people have set aside many of the joys of youth to stop an unfolding catastrophe that they did not cause. Their sacrifice and their bold visions of our planet’s future inspire us to work harder at building an even stronger movement of elders.
Elders Climate Action and its members stand in solidarity with our youth climate activists. We are proud to strike with them (virtually or in person), to march behind their banners and sing their songs
WE CALL ON ALL OUR GENERATION TO RISE AND JOIN US IN SUPPORT OF THE GLOBAL YOUTH CLIMATE MOVEMENT.

Next to the Met Gala and the Oscars, the CFDA Awards complete the trifecta of red carpet events I eagerly await each year. These are more literally the Oscars of Fashion (as there are actual awards, unlike the Met Gala) where designers escort their celebrity muses down the red carpet. This year’s fashion choices were…interesting…to say the least, so let’s just get right to it.
With this year’s Met Gala theme being Manus x Machina (man made vs. machine made fashion) we’ve seen a lot of different interpretations. From extreme beading and other intricate details to all silver everything (I guess when people hear “fashion in an age of technology” they immediately think METALLICS!) we’ve seen it all. But have we? That was only the beginning. So let’s take a look at the most “on theme” and / or over the top looks from the 2016 Met Ball red carpet.

via Arab News, 11 August 2023: The Sheikh Karimul Makhdum Mosque in Tawi-Tawi, Philippines, is the country’s first mosque, built in 1380, and its unbreakable pillars have become a symbol of Islamic heritage, surviving various destruction attempts and connecting the Philippines to the broader Islamic world.
The first mosque to be established in the Philippines, it was, according to local folklore, built by Arab trader and missionary Makhdum Karim in 1380, which makes it also one of the oldest in Southeast Asia.
“The establishment of the Sheikh Makhdum Mosque in the 14th century ushered the beginning of Islamization in the Philippines,” said Prof. Julkipli Wadi, dean of the Institute of Islamic Studies at the University of the Philippines.
“That was 200 years before the advent of Spanish colonialism and the entrenchment of the Westernized version of Christianity in this part of Southeast Asia.”
The pillars of the small white mosque in the municipality of Simunul in the southernmost island province of the Philippines, are believed to come from the original mosque and are considered sacred.

Local Bookstore Passionate About Getting Books To ChildrenLocal Bookstore Passionate About Getting Books To Children
on Jun 24, 2021 When the pandemic shut down libraries and schools, Kenyetta Richard and Courtney Strickland had one focus - get books into the hands of kids. In September 2020, they opened Belle Books in EastPoint Plaza, along 23rd Street, offering free and affordable books to children in need. “Now they have the opportunity to come in and touch a tangible book, because we have free books. We have books that are only a dollar, we have $4 books, and then our newer books are a little more expensive, but we don’t want any child to be able to leave without a book,” said Richard. The store has books for kids as well as adults. One thing you simply can’t miss as you walk in the door is the bright yellow shelf.
“So, we are partnering with Youth First,” Strickland explained. “It’s bring a book, leave a book.” These bright yellow shelves are in businesses throughout the city. Through this program kids and adults come in and leave their gently loved books and take a book home. The ladies take the responsibilities of owning a bookstore seriously. A must have for them is story time for kids. “We had them (kids) as small as two years old. And they were excited. They may not have sat as long as everybody else, but they wanted to pick up the books, they were excited to see the pictures, ‘oh mommy this looks like daddy,’” said Richard. Richard and Strickland are spoken word artists who are also published authors of almost thirty books of their own. Now, they are helping others accomplish their writing dreams by helping them publish their own books. “We assist in self-publishing. We help them format, we help them edit, we help them with their cover. Then hand their baby over to them because they have total control over all their rights and royalties. We don’t keep anything. We just want to see them be great,” said Richard. Those skills are in now in high demand. “With local authors, authors from New York, Colorado, Dallas, we work with people everywhere,” said Strickland. No matter how their business grows and evolves, they both understand the power of a book.

On Thursday, officers from the Marchand Police Station arrested a teenager with a fake gun, which investigators suspected he used in committing several student robberies.
A police release identified the accused as 18-year-old Tyler Cools of Trois Piton, Castries.
Officers arrested him at about 3:00 pm during one of their targetted patrols in school zones in response to increased reports of students in the Marchand area becoming robbery victims.
According to the police, Cools appeared before the First District Court for bail and was remanded in custody until Thursday, December 29, 2022.
The police release said officers are meeting the impacted teachers, students, and parents for further investigations.
“The Marchand Police Station will continue its endeavours to create a safe environment for the students within the area,” the release stated.
It added that the officers would spare no effort to ensure that those responsible for committing offences are brought before the court expeditiously.
Good job. But the Police must be more proactive. I knw their man power is always short. Do more searches every month. Not just this month and then a long time again . the young criminals are ahead of the game. No city cameras working, No rounabout cameras working, Its time the cops get the license plate computerize system so that they can scan a plate at any time and see all the vehicle information.
Common, Dec. 29th. we’ll never hear of this case; bring him out near the School and whip his axx next week at 3.pm – done case. St. Lucia has gone to the Dogs Lord; help us, Amen.
Great job! …..
Totally agree we are too generous with this thugs in st Lucia make examples of them in this way the other ones would have to think twice before committing a crime honestly the way I see it even the poor dogs on the streets deserves better treatment than these criminals….yes I said it
I wish we could just send them off to Saudi A that would make it a whole lot easier, just imagine the justice would be swift and simple no lawyers needed the terms and conditions already agreed upon
The digital system was in place since 2009… Nature took its tole on the system because the law enforcement department was equipped with hand held devices, and security cameras funded by LIME at the time. The demise of this island is once government change we go backward forward. The cycle repeat itself and we going into 2023


Various media and tech sources report that 11 to 30 percent of computers currently use the Windows XP system. A March 17 Washington Post article reported that an estimated 10 percent of government computers are still using Windows XP, citing Microsoft.
While unable to estimate the number of computers in parishes and schools around the Green Bay Diocese using Windows XP, Nick Griffie, software systems administrator for the diocese, knows that there are many. He is very concerned because these will be vulnerable to hackers, viruses and malware after April 8.
“On April 9,” he said, “not everyone will get hacked, but I wouldn’t trust it with anything you log on to.”
He said that it’s not only the risk of viruses but the hacking of passwords for things like online banking that concern him.
“I would not recommend online banking, or logging on to a website that has the same user name and password you have for any online account,” Griffie said.
Windows XP was introduced to the general public in 2001. It remained the most popular of the Windows operating systems until the introduction of Windows 7 in 2012. Windows XP was succeeded by Windows Vista in late 2006.
Users of Windows XP have probably already noticed changes in their computers, Griffie added. This includes being slow to start or problems with Internet browsers such as Chrome or Firefox.
Microsoft has said that, for customers who currently use its Microsoft Essentials security, they will continue to update their malicious software removal (MSRT) until July 14, 2015. However, this will not be automatic and Griffie says the upgrades will be unlikely to prevent hackers.
While some computers may be upgradable to Windows Vista or Windows 7, Griffie said they will not operate optimally, and some programs may not work at all on them.
Griffie recommends getting a new PC. If that is cost-prohibitive, there are refurbished computers. He would recommend using one with Windows 7 Professional. And it is important to remember that Windows Vista will no longer be supported by Microsoft after April 2017 and Windows 7 after Jan. 2020.
For those who can do it now, Griffie advises getting a computer with Windows 8.1, not Windows 8, because Windows 8.1 can be set to start as if it were the more familiar Windows 7 desktop. However, the trend of the future is the touch screen.
“Start trying to understand the tablet devices; that’s what operating systems are all going to,” Griffie said. “All the iPads, Androids, and surface machines, they are tablets. Soon, that’s how all machines will operate.”
If you’re still wondering what continuing to use Windows XP will be like after April 8, Griffie uses the analogy of driving a car and leaving both the car and house keys in it every time you stop somewhere.
“They won’t only get the car,” he said, “they will get all that other stuff. And it will be like that with hackers.”

Although some Loyola students might be looking forward to the opening of a new Target across the street from Loyola’s Lake Shore Campus, some Rogers Park employees are preparing for potential negative effects on the small businesses they work at.
The small-format Target — which will be located at 6422 N. Sheridan Road — is set to open April 7. Construction on the Target started in November 2017 and was initially expected to be finished in fall 2018, The Phoenix reported. There will also be both rent-controlled and market-rate apartments above the Target. The development is considered “transit-oriented” because it’s located near public transportation, The Phoenix previously reported.
Joanne Nguyen, a manager at Bentley’s Pet Stuff (1257 W. Devon Ave.), said she has mixed feelings about the new Target. She said, as a resident, she’s excited but also nervous about her small business.
Nguyen said she expects business will be slow when the Target first opens, but pick back up after the store has been open for a while. Throughout the two and a half years she’s worked as a manager, she said she’s witnessed similar patterns when other businesses have opened around the neighborhood, for example, Kriser’s Natural Pet in Andersonville.
“I think it’ll be that everyone shops at Target at first and hopefully that will peter out once it loses its grand opening steam,” Nguyen said.
Shaul Basa is the owner of Devon Market, a grocery store that’s been in the neighborhood for about 20 years.Basa said he’s not particularly worried about Target hurting his business because Devon Market has unique items, specifically foods and ingredients from other countries.
“The concept of Devon Market, it’s completely different than Target,” Basa said. “The shoppers who come to shop over here, they’re looking for specific items they can’t find anywhere else.”
Similarly, Nguyen said Bentley’s Pet Stuff is known for quality pet food and the staff is careful when choosing which products go on the shelves, which is different from Target’s stocking process.
“When it comes to that stuff, I think people will realize pretty quickly, hopefully, that we’re much more careful than Target is at what they choose to bring in for everyone’s pets,” Nguyen said.
Basa said any time a new business comes to Rogers Park, whether it’s large or small, it affects his store slightly. However, he said he has some loyal customers, especially senior citizens and Loyola students who appreciate the 10 percent discount Basa offers them.
“Every little store that will open around here, it will affect you in a way, but we’ve been established over here for 20 years,” Basa said. “People know Devon Market. We’ve had loyal customers for several years.”
Nguyen said small businesses are important to the neighborhood and she hopes residents will continue to support them, regardless of which new stores arrive.
“The small businesses in Rogers Park are what make Rogers Park the neighborhood it is,” Nguyen said. “I know from living everywhere in the city, it’s what makes our little neighborhood unique.”
Jacqueline DeBuse, a Target spokesperson, said Target made an effort to avoid harming local businesses by examining the area and looking into which stores and items were already present in the community. She said if it was determined a certain need in the neighborhood was met by another store, the company would offer different products instead of trying to compete, but wouldn’t specify what the store would be carrying.
“Target truly believes that there’s a place for local, national, big and small businesses all in one area,” DeBuse said. “When we join a community, we’re excited to work hand in hand with those businesses to make sure that together, we’re serving the needs of the community.”
Chain stores similar to Target have been found to impact local businesses, according to a study from the Southwestern Social Science Association, an organization dedicated to social science research. Within 15 months of a Walmart opening, between four and 14 smaller stores close on average, the study showed.
The new Target will be about 40,000 square feet, which is about a third of the size of a regular Target, according to DeBuse. It’s unclear if the store’s size will affect how much it impacts local businesses.
Because the store will be smaller, extra consideration went into the types of products that will be offered, DeBuse said. She said the company researched what items the neighborhood has a need for by talking to local leaders, community officials and groups of potential customers.
Then, Target designed the layout of the store to specifically meet the needs of the community. DeBuse said Loyola students and faculty were a “large consideration” when choosing what would go into the store.
Gosia Medrecki, a senior studying chemistry and Spanish at Loyola, said she’s curious about the smaller format of the store and how it differs from larger Targets. Medrecki said she hopes the new Target will have a good selection of cosmetics and school supplies.
“I’m interested to see if it’s going to have things that can’t be found elsewhere,” Medrecki, 21, said. “The Targets I usually go to are the bigger stores, so I’m interested in what products they can stock.”
Rosalyn Chavez, 50, has lived in the neighborhood since 2008 and said she’s watched new businesses transform the neighborhood. She said she’s concerned about how the new store will impact traffic.
Chavez said the traffic has gotten worse on Sheridan, and especially at the intersection of Devon and Sheridan as new businesses have arrived and added time to her morning commute.
“I’m really concerned not only about the congestion but the safety of the residents and any commuters who come through that area,” Chavez said.
Chavez said she doesn’t think the new store will impact most grocery stores, but will instead provide a resource for residents to buy home goods, like bed linens and dishes, without having to travel.
Junior Lauren Black, who’s studying nursing, said she doesn’t always feel safe traveling to the Wilson Red Line stop to go to the Target in Uptown and a closer location will be more convenient.
“School’s typically in the winter and it’s dark for most of the day,” Black, 20, said. “It’s hard to get to the Wilson stop and feel safe. Having this store close by is just gonna make running errands and doing things a lot easier.”

THE LETTER 61 Spring 2016, pages 45-75
This essay attempts to elucidate a new way in which to envisage Joycean discourse,
which has so often been yoked to that of the university discourse outlined
by Lacan in a fourfold schema in Seminar XVII, The Other Side of Psychoanalysis.
To reach this goal it puts the aforementioned Seminar into relief
against Seminars XVIII, On a Discourse that Might not be a Semblance and
XXIII, Le sinthome, as well as against work of a third interlocutor, Jacques
Derrida. To move towards a conceptualisation of Joycean discourse, it takes
into consideration multiform Lacanian themes, such as ‘enverity’, the sinthome,
the Name-of-the-Father, enjoyment and semblance, and reads them
against the work of Joyce, particularly Finnegans Wake.
Keywords: Jacques Lacan; James Joyce; Jacques Derrida; university discourse;
Seminar XVII; Seminar XVIII; Seminar XXIII
No Name of the Father is tenable without thunder, and everyone
knows very well that we do not even know what thunder is the sign
of. It is the very figure of the semblance.
— Jacques Lacan, Seminar XVIII
— James Joyce, Finnegans Wake
My desire with this essay is to situate Lacan’s seventeenth Seminar The Other
Side of Psychoanalysis in relation to certain other moments in the later Lacan,
particularly to the following year’s Seminar On a Discourse that Might not be
a Semblance as well as to other work that his work has generated – amongst
which I will count my own. It is also to bring it into relation with occasional…

Vacant plant gets tax break from supervisors
LAFAYETTE COUNTY — The Lafayette County Board of Supervisors has reduced the property tax assessment on the Whirlpool Corporation’s empty building and idle land from $13 million to $7.75 million.
While Whirlpool was open, it was exempt from paying ad valorem taxes — except for school taxes — as an industry incentive. Once it closed its doors in 2009, the company lost the exemption and was charged taxes on an assessed value of $13 million.
The Oxford Eagle reports supervisors acted this week on recommendations from an accountant hired by Whirlpool and county tax assessor/collector Martha Thornton.

In an effort to offer more locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables this summer, the Food Bank for Larimer County will begin accepting weekend donations from area gardeners.
The food bank will open for produce donations on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to noon beginning Aug. 6.
“Always at the food bank, we are looking to increase our fresh food donations during the summer,” said Korrie Johnston, communications manager for the food bank.
Donations will be accepted at the Food Bank for Larimer County, 1301 Blue Spruce Drive, in north Fort Collins. Produce also can be dropped off at the Gardens on Spring Creek, 2145 Centre Ave., Fort Collins, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays and from noon to 5 p.m. Sundays this summer.
“What they’re going to do is come right to the food bank, and they’ll literally go from the donation door straight out to our pantry,” Johnston said. “We have fresh produce here every day in our fresh food pantry that customers can take from.”
Produce donations are taken during the food bank’s regular hours as well.
Johnston said the food bank has offered fresh produce for many years, but donors have requested the food bank open on the weekends to accept more donations.
Produce bought from grocery stores will be accepted, but the food bank is primarily looking for locally grown vegetables and fruits.
“We’re seeking donations from community members, so anyone out in the community that has a backyard garden,” Johnston said. “If they have any leftover vegetables or fruits, we’d love to take them.”
Donated fruits and vegetables cannot be decayed, and all kinds of produce will be accepted. “I think the spirit of this is for anyone that’s growing extra food and they have extra and want to do something good with it,” Johnston said.
The House of Neighborly Service in Loveland also has a program to accept produce from the public.
The agency distributes the produce to families in need of food support, and it accepts donations 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday, except during the noon hour. Donations should be identified as being for Plant a Row.

FIVE CYBERSECURITY KEY CONTROLS IN GEOMATICS
Geomatics is a field that involves the collection, analysis, and interpretation of geographic data. Like all industries, Geomatics is vulnerable to cybersecurity threats, and it is important to implement key controls to protect against these threats. Here are five key cybersecurity controls that are important for Geomatics:
- Access Control:
Access control is an important control for Geomatics that involves controlling access to resources and systems based on a user’s identity and role. This involves implementing strong passwords, multi-factor authentication, and other security measures to ensure that only authorized users can access sensitive data and resources.
Access control involves several different components, including identification, authentication, and authorization.
Access control is implemented through a variety of technical and administrative controls. Technical controls include implementing firewalls, access control lists (ACLs), and other security measures to restrict access to specific resources or systems. Administrative controls include developing policies and procedures for granting and revoking access, training employees on proper access control procedures, and monitoring access logs to detect unauthorized access attempts.
Overall, access control is an essential component of cybersecurity that helps protect against unauthorized access to sensitive data, systems, and resources. By implementing identification, authentication, and authorization controls, and utilizing technical and administrative controls, organizations can improve their access control posture and reduce the risk of data breaches and other cyber-attacks.
- Data Encryption:
Encryption is an important control for protecting sensitive data in transit and at rest. Geomatics organizations should implement encryption technologies to protect sensitive data, including file-level encryption and database encryption.
Data encryption can be implemented at several different levels, including file-level encryption, database encryption, and network encryption. File-level encryption involves encrypting individual files on a device, making them unreadable without the appropriate decryption key. Database encryption involves encrypting entire databases, including all the data stored within them. Network encryption involves encrypting data as it travels across a network to prevent eavesdropping and other types of cyber-attacks.
Data encryption can be implemented using a variety of encryption algorithms, including Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), RSA, and Triple Data Encryption Standard (Triple DES). Encryption keys are used to encrypt and decrypt data, and can be managed either by the user or through key management systems.
One important consideration for data encryption is key management. This involves managing the encryption keys used to encrypt and decrypt data. Keys must be kept secure and only accessible to authorized users. In addition, key rotation and revocation must be managed to ensure that keys are updated and revoked as needed.
- Network Security:
Network security involves implementing security measures to protect the network and systems from cyber threats. This can include implementing firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, and other network security controls.
There are several key components of network security, including:
- Firewall: A firewall is a network security device that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predefined security rules. Firewalls help prevent unauthorized access to a network and protect against malware and other types of cyber attacks.
- Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS): IDPS are security tools that monitor network traffic for signs of unauthorized access, misuse, or other suspicious activities. IDPS can help detect and prevent cyber attacks in real-time, and provide alerts to network administrators when security incidents occur.
- Virtual Private Network (VPN): A VPN is a network security tool that creates a secure, encrypted connection between two or more devices over the internet. VPNs are commonly used by remote workers to securely access company resources from outside the office.
- Antivirus/Anti-malware software: Antivirus and anti-malware software are essential tools for protecting against malware and other types of cyber threats. These security tools help detect, quarantine, and remove viruses and other types of malware from a network.
- Access Control: Access control is an important component of network security, as it helps restrict access to sensitive data and resources. Access control involves controlling access to resources and systems based on a user’s identity and role. This can involve implementing strong passwords, multi-factor authentication, and other security measures to ensure that only authorized users can access sensitive data and resources.
- Vulnerability Management:
It is the process of identifying, prioritizing, and remediating vulnerabilities in a system or network. It is an important aspect of cybersecurity, as vulnerabilities in software or hardware can be exploited by cyber criminals to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data or disrupt network operations.
Vulnerability management involves regularly scanning systems and applications for vulnerabilities and implementing patches and updates to mitigate these vulnerabilities. Geomatics organizations should have a robust vulnerability management program in place to ensure that all systems and applications are up-to-date and secure.
The vulnerability management process typically involves the following steps:
- Vulnerability Assessment: This involves scanning systems and networks to identify vulnerabilities, including missing software patches, configuration errors, and other weaknesses that could be exploited by cyber attackers.
- Risk Prioritization: Once vulnerabilities have been identified, they must be prioritized based on their potential impact on the organization. This can involve assessing the severity of the vulnerability, the likelihood of it being exploited, and the potential consequences of a successful attack.
- Remediation: After vulnerabilities have been identified and prioritized, remediation steps can be taken to address them. This can involve installing software patches, reconfiguring systems, or implementing other security controls to mitigate the risk posed by the vulnerability.
- Monitoring: Vulnerability management is an ongoing process, and organizations must continue to monitor systems and networks for new vulnerabilities as they emerge. This can involve implementing automated vulnerability scanning tools and conducting regular security audits to ensure that vulnerabilities are being addressed in a timely manner.
- Incident Response:
Incident response involves developing and implementing a plan to respond to cybersecurity incidents. This can include identifying the incident, containing and mitigating the impact, and restoring systems and data to their pre-incident state. Geomatics organizations should have an incident response plan in place to ensure that they can respond quickly and effectively to cyber threats.
The goal of incident response is to minimize the impact of security incidents and restore normal operations as quickly as possible.
By implementing an effective incident response plan, organizations can minimize the impact of security incidents and respond quickly and effectively to protect sensitive data and systems. Incident response is an essential component of any cybersecurity program, and organizations should regularly review and update their incident response plans to ensure they are prepared for new and emerging threats.
Overall, these five key controls are important for protecting Geomatics organizations from cyber threats. By implementing access control, data encryption, network security, vulnerability management, and incident response, Geomatics organizations can reduce the risk of data breaches and other cyber-attacks.

You've seen almost every angle on the Ohio State situation. How does Tressel leaving the program affect the conference race? What does all of this mean for the B1G? What does this mean for college football?
There's been a lot of chatter, and rightfully so... it's the off-season afterall and for those of us that love the game of football, the NFL obviously isn't giving us anything. This arguably could not come at a worse time for one of the most recognizable programs in one of the most recognizable conferences in college football.
But as E!SPN ran a timeline of Terrelle Pryor's time at Ohio State, and mentioned that he was the #1 dual-threat QB coming out of high school in the recruiting class of 2008, I was reminded that our very own MarQueis Gray was in that class as well. And not only was he in that class, he was not far behind Pryor in the hype department. You might remember that while Pryor was #1 on that dual-threat list, "Q" was #3, and his choice to attend Minnesota was quite the coup at the time.
So what happened with that dual-threat recruiting class?
Well, we know that less than halfway through his 2008 freshman season, Pryor became the first freshman to start at QB for the Buckeyes in decades, he was a Heisman candidate in 2009 and 2010 and now he's leaving college football. There is no question, Pryor was good and was a threat to make a big play everytime he had the ball.
The number 2 dual-threat QB on that list ended up at Florida State. EJ Manuel will be the full-time starter for the Seminoles this season after being red-shirted his first year (instead of being thrown into a handful of wildcat packages each game to waste a season of eligibility), he played back-up to Vikings draft pick Christian Ponder last season (instead of being thrown into games as a WR) where he ended up getting a good amount of playing time due to injuries to Ponder.
Gray lost a year of eligibility due to academic issues, was not red-shirted as a freshman but instead got to attempt a whopping 15 throws in 2009, and then a whole 6 in 2010 while mostly playing WR. (By the way, I'm not here to say that Q should have been starting over Weber last year, because I don't necessarily believe that. However, I will NEVER be okay with the fact that Tim Brewster wasted a year of Q's eligibility in 2009.)
Heading into 2011, Pryor is gone and Manuel and Gray will be starting QB's on their respective teams. But Pryor and Gray are/were in the same conference. So what does it mean for Q that Pryor is now gone?
The college football world is on-notice: MarQueis Gray is coming. He was recently named one of the 100 most influential people in college football... with a good season at WR and without having taken a snap as a starting QB. But even without having taken that first starting QB snap yet, Q is today, right now, arguably one of the top 5 most exciting players in the B1G, and with the potential he has with his arm and his legs, you could see him being #1 on that list by mid-season even if the Gophers struggle as a team this season.
Look, winning is what gets noticed, there is no doubt about that. But MarQueis Gray has a chance to take the B1G by storm. That sounds like hyperbole, but I really believe it to be true. Taylor Martinez is electrifying with his legs, Kirk Cousins has a nice arm and pocket presence. Dan Persa can kill you with his arm or his legs but might be injury prone, and Denard Robinson will be subjected to a new offense this season.
Of course I'm biased in this discussion, but seriously did you see what Chandler Harnish did in Matt Limegrover's offense last year at Northern Illinois? He rushed over 10 times/game averaging 6 yds/carry and had 7 TD's on the ground. He also completed almost 65% of his passes, threw for over 2500 yards and 21 TD's and had a QB rating north of 155.
Chandler Harnish is very good and very talented, but MarQueis Gray is taller, faster and stronger than Harnish. Is there any doubt that Q will absolutely flourish in this offense?
MarQueis Gray has the opportunity to be the most exciting player in the B1G because he has the pedigree, the physical skills and will be playing in an offense that is absolutely suited to his abilities.

The Celestial Atlas of Flamsteed (1795)
John Flamsteed (1646-1719) was an English astronomer and the first Astronomer Royal. He catalogued over 3000 stars and was responsible for several of the earliest recorded sightings of the planet Uranus, which he mistook for a star and catalogued as '34 Tauri'. In 1729, ten years after his death, a star atlas based on observations he made, the Atlas Coelestis, was published by his widow, assisted by Joseph Crosthwait and Abraham Sharp. The changes in the positions of stars (the original observations were made in the 1690s), led to an update made in the 1770s by the French engineer Nicolas Fortin, supervised by the astronomers Le Monnier and Messier from the Royal Academy of Sciences in Paris. The new version, called Atlas Fortin-Flamsteed, was a third of the size of the original and also had artistic retouching to some illustrations (mostly Andromeda, Virgo and Aquarius). The names of the constellations are in French (not in Latin) and included some nebulae discovered after the death of Flamsteed. The images below are from an updated version published in 1795, titled Atlas Céleste de Flamstéed, produced by Mechain and Lalande, with new constellations and many more nebulae. (Wikipedia)

WHY will a woman kill her husband, their three children and herself? These are the questions the police in Benue State are trying to proffer answers to after Mrs. Rochelle Adetsav unexpectedly ended her husband’s life, their children’s and her own.
“The man, Mr. Nicholas Adetsav, a staff of Makurdi Local Government Council, and his children, were killed on Friday night in Makurdi. His wife, who we believe is responsible for the death of the quartet, also killed herself,” spokesman for the state police command, Moses Yamu said.
“From information available to us, the woman had been having issues with her husband which might have culminated into this,” Yamu said.
The children’s names were given as Nguavese (F) (6), Evelyn (F) (4) and Joshua (M) (2).
The couple, who lived on Vandeikya Street, were both staff of Makurdi Local Government Council.
“They had been having issues. Just yesterday (Friday), the woman was seen with a pestle trying to smash her husband’s car. No one knows the cause of their frequent fights,” he said.
He said that Police personnel sent to the house found the man foaming in the mouth, the three kids already dead, while the woman, also dead, was found holding a knife in her hands.
“The incident happened around 8:30 p.m. on Friday.
“From what we have gathered, the couple fought on a daily basis,” he told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
Yamu said that investigation had begun to determine the reasons for the actions, while the corpses have been deposited at the St. Theresa’s Catholic Hospital, Makurdi.
A neighbour of the late couple, James Omale, told The Nation that about 8:30pm, the woman smashed the windscreen of her husband’s car with a pestle.
“After that, she rushed back into the house where she hit her husband Adetsav with the pestle at the back of the neck and thereafter slaughtered her three children and stabbed herself to death,” he said.
Omale said neighbours called the DPO of B. Division who responded quickly with his men forcing the door of the couple’s apartment open only do find the five of them in a pool of blood dead.
The Police spokesman Moses Yamu also said that the Police found the man foaming in the mouth, the three kids already dead, while the woman, also dead, was found holding a knife in her hands.
The Chairman, Makurdi Local Government Council, Mrs. Akange Audu, confirmed that the couple were employees of the local government council.
“The husband worked in the Department of Finance while his wife worked with the Department of Agriculture,” she said.
She also confirmed that the couple “were always fighting”, adding that the woman had warned neighbours to stay off their fights.
One of the neighbours says she stopped intervening on their quarrels when Mrs. Adetsav threatened her with a knife during one of such interventions.
A cross section of the neighbours, who spoke to NAN, said that the couple had been having issues.
They said that the couple had been fighting since Friday afternoon, but no one appeared sure of the cause of their fights.
One of the neighbours told NAN that she stopped intervening on their quarrels when Mrs. Adetsav threatened her with a knife during one of such interventions.
