How to make a Pumpkin Spice Latte Cake – The world famous Autumn drink in cake form! Three layers of pumpkin spice cake soaked in a coffee syrup and covered in a dreamy cinnamon cream cheese frosting.
It had to happen. I couldn’t let Autumn go by without posting at least a couple of pumpkin recipes, could I?
Everyone who knows me is well aware of my love for coffee. I have a special fondness for flavoured coffee. When the gingerbread and pumpkin spice lattes start to appear in the coffee shops, you will find me at the front of the line.
I have such a love for pumpkin spice that I even made up my own version of a homemade pumpkin spice latte so I could enjoy them in the comfort of my own home. Heaven!
I wanted to try my hand at a pumpkin spice latte cake last year, but time got the better of me and I just didn’t get around to it.
I had elaborate plans on how the finished cake would look in my head, but I ended up winging it last minute.
I really wanted to make some fondant pumpkins to adorn the top of the cake, but since my energy levels aren’t back to normal after coming down with the worst cold I’ve had in a very long time, I ditched that idea.
I kept it nice and simple instead with a scattering of chocolate coffee beans, pumpkin seeds and pecan nuts. Maybe I’ll re-do it next year with the pumpkins……
It’s been a long time since I made a layer cake, but apart from the fact that I rushed the icing and it wasn’t as smooth as I would have liked, I was pretty pleased with how it turned out. It tasted exactly like I imagined it would.
For the coffee element, I drizzled a delicious coffee syrup over the freshly baked sponges. I iced the cake with a generous (as it should be!) amount of cinnamon cream cheese frosting.
Reader comment – “Fantastic! Pumpkin Spice Heaven” “The cake is so moist and PERFECT! I did bake the 3 pans for only 15-20 minutes. Next, I want to experiment with adding candied pumpkin seeds to the top. So YUM. Thank you!” – Tammy
why you should try this recipe
- The sponge recipe is nice and easy – it’s simply a case of mixing together the wet and dry ingredients together.
- You don’t need any special equipment to make it – you could use a mixer if you wanted, but a large mixing bowl, a whisk and a rubber spatula will do the job just fine.
- If you’re a fan of pumpkin spice, you must give this cake a go! If you like my pumpkin spice muffins, you’ll love this pumpkin cake.
- The coffee, pumpkin and warming spices are a match made in heaven!

how to make a pumpkin spice latte cake
scroll to the bottom of the post to find the printable recipe card with ingredients and detailed instructions.
step one – make the sponges
- In a large mixing bowl, sieve together self-raising flour, salt, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, nutmeg and cardamom.
- In another bowl, whisk together soft light brown sugar, caster sugar, pumpkin puree, oil, eggs, buttermilk and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the spiced flour mixture and using a whisk initially, start to mix the ingredients together.
- Once everything has just blended together, switch to a rubber spatula and lightly fold the batter to make sure there is no flour sitting at the bottom of the bowl.
- Pour the batter into three 20cm round cake tins. I used these loose based round sandwich tins from Lakeland. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the sponges are risen and spring back when lightly pressed in the middle.
step two – make the coffee syrup
I was thinking of making a coffee spiked buttercream to ice the cake, but I really wanted coffee flavour in the actual sponge.
While I could have just added espresso powder to the cake mixture, brushing the baked sponges with some syrup is a fabulous way of injecting flavour and moisture into sponges – I know it’s tempting to skip this extra step but it’s so worth doing.
- To make the coffee syrup, place an equal amount of freshly brewed coffee and caster sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat and simmer for a few minutes until the mixture has thickened into a syrup.
- Brush the warm cakes with the coffee syrup and leave to cool completely.
step three – make the cream cheese frosting
- To make the cinnamon cream cheese frosting, beat together unsalted butter, icing sugar, vanilla extract and ground cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Add cold cream cheese and mix briefly just until the mixture is smooth. If you overbeat the cream cheese can turn very runny, so stop as soon as you have a nice smooth icing.
step four – assembling the cake
- Sandwich the cake layers together with the cream cheese frosting.
- Ice the top and sides of the cake and smooth with a cake scraper. I unfortunately lost mine when we re-did our kitchen, so I must order a new one! If I had already done this, my cake would have looked much less rustic. But hey ho.
- To echo the flavours in the pumpkin spice latte cake, I dusted the top with a mixture of espresso powder and ground cinnamon.
- For a final flourish, I decorated the top with pumpkin seeds, pecan nuts and chocolate coated coffee beans. This was not in my plans – I was just using up what I had in my cupboards!
- Please make sure your canned pumpkin puree is 100% pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.
- Don’t over-mix the cake batter – if you do, the sponges could become dense and rubbery. Mix only until no flour streaks remain.
- Brush the sponges with the coffee syrup while they are still warm. If you do this when the cakes are cold, the syrup won’t soak all the way through – it will just sit on top of the sponges and create a sticky layer. Not what you want!
- I brush the cakes with the syrup about 10 minutes after removing them from the oven.
- The individual spices can be swapped for pumpkin pie spice if you like – about 2 teaspoons would be enough.
The cake will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 or 4 days. Since the frosting contains cream cheese, it must be kept in the fridge. Bring back to room temperature before serving.
can this cake be frozen?
Yes, the cooled uniced sponges can be frozen for up to 3 months.

- 350g (2 cups + 3 tablespoons) self raising flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon fine salt
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 200g (1 cup) soft light brown sugar
- 200g (1 cup) caster sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 425g (15oz can) pumpkin purée
- 125ml (1/2 cup) vegetable or sunflower oil
- 125ml (1/2 cup) buttermilk
- FOR THE COFFEE SYRUP
- 50ml (3 tablespoons + one teaspoon) freshly brewed coffee
- 50g (1/4 cup) caster sugar
- FOR THE CINNAMON CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
- 225g (one cup/8oz) soft unsalted butter
- 450g (3 cups + one tablespoon) icing sugar, sifted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 or 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, depending on how much you like cinnamon! Add 1/2 teaspoon first then decide if you want to add more.
- 350g (1 1/2 cups/12oz) full fat cold cream cheese
- Preheat the oven to 180C/160Fan/350F/Gas mark 4. Grease and line the bases of three 20cm round cake tins.
- Sieve the self raising flour, ground cinnamon, ginger, cloves, cardamom, nutmeg and salt together in a large mixing bowl.
- in a medium bowl or measuring jug, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, caster sugar, vanilla extract, pumpkin puree, oil and buttermilk.
- Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, combine the ingredients together. Stop mixing as soon as no flour streaks are visible and you have a smooth, shiny batter.
- Pour the mixture into the lined tins and bake for 30-35 minutes or until risen and spring back when lightly pressed in the centre. When the cakes are in the oven, make the coffee syrup.
- Place the coffee and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to the boil, then immediately turn down the heat and simmer on a medium heat for about 5 minutes or until the mixture has thickened and looks syrupy. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Remove the cakes from the oven and place on a wire rack. Leave the sponges in the tins for about 10 minutes before carefully turning out, then while the sponges are still warm (this is very important!), brush them with the coffee syrup. Leave the sponges to cool completely before icing.
- For the cream cheese frosting, beat together the soft butter, icing sugar, vanilla extract and ground cinnamon. When the mixture is smooth, beat in the cold cream cheese. Take care not to overbeat or the mixture may turn runny.
- To assemble the cake, place one of the sponges on a serving plate. TIP - if your sponges are a little bit wonky (it happens to the best bakers!), you might want to trim them a little so there are no gaps when you put the cake together. I absolutely swear by a cake leveller - you can buy them for a few pounds online. Spread over some of the cream cheese frosting, then place another sponge on top. Repeat with the final third layer, then ice the top and sides of the cake. Smooth the sides and top with a cake scraper or leave it swirly if you wish. Dust the top of the cake with cinnamon and instant coffee powder and decorate with pecans, chocolate coffee beans and pumpkin seeds.

All Blacks and Wallabies draw first Bledisloe Cup Test
All Blacks winger Jordie Barrett slotted a 78th-minute penalty to snatch a 16-16 draw against Australia in their first Bledisloe Cup rugby Test on Sunday, a match that stretched nine minutes into injury time.
Wallabies replacement Reece Hodge had the opportunity to win the game in the second minute of injury time with a massive penalty that struck the posts, sparking a virtually continuous passage of play that lasted another seven minutes.
James O'Connor had slotted a 74th-minute penalty to give the Wallabies a 16-13 lead and the visitors hope of achieving their first win over the All Blacks in New Zealand since 2001.
It was just their eighth draw in 167 clashes.
"I'm very proud of the team and I really enjoyed the game despite the conditions and the result," Wallabies captain Michael Hooper said.
"It was close though and I would have liked to have closed it out."
The game was the first rugby Test since March because of Covid-19 restrictions, and the first for new All Blacks coach Ian Foster and his Wallabies counterpart Dave Rennie.
The Wallabies had the most possession and territory throughout the match.
The All Blacks had to rely on their counterattack to open their account with Barrett finishing off a sweeping 70-metre movement for the only try of the first half.
The All Blacks should have been up by more at the break, but Rieko Ioane dropped the ball while attempting to put it down after they had turned over possession from a Wallabies' attacking lineout to leave the score 8-3 at halftime.
Aaron Smith extended the lead to 13-3 early in the second half before Marika Koroibete and Filkipo Daugunu crossed to level the scores with less than 20 minutes remaining.
The All Blacks had several opportunities to attempt a drop goal after Hodge's missed penalty that would have won the game but did not take them.
"There wasn't much stoppage to have a chat, it was pretty much all go," All Blacks captain Sam Cane said about why they had not attempted a drop goal.
"It just highlights that Test matches are about taking opportunities and there are only a couple in each game."

Again and again, digital pressure gauge are asked the question concerning the difference between an absolute pressure measurement and a gauge pressure measurement. To answer this question it can help to look at this is of gauge pressure and absolute pressure. The difference between your two measurements is then explained relatively simply and thus also the choice of the correct measurement.
Definition of absolute pressure
Absolute pressure is really a pressure that is in accordance with the zero pressure in the empty, air-free space of the universe. This reference pressure is the ideal or absolute vacuum. It really is denoted with the subscript ?abs?: Pabs.
Definition of gauge pressure
The gauge pressure is defined as the difference between an absolute pressure (Pabs) and the prevailing atmospheric pressure (Pamb). It is denoted with the subscript ?e?: Pe and is calculated as follows: Pe = Pabs ? Pamb.
Absolute vs gauge pressure measurement
The difference between your two measurements is relatively easily clarified: in a gauge pressure measurement, it will always be the difference from the existing ambient pressure that is measured. However, this pressure changes with the elements and the height above sea level. An absolute pressure measurement measures the difference from the ideal or absolute vacuum. diaphragm seal is the reason this measurement is independent of environmental influences such as weather or altitude. Which measurement is currently the right one?
In practice, the two measurements can be differentiated the following: typically, the measuring task is to determine the gauge pressure. For this reason this type of sensor is hottest. However, in case a gauge pressure sensor is used in an application in which the actual measuring task is to gauge the absolute pressure, the following additional errors should be expected:
+/- 30 mbar due to changes in weather
up to 200 mbar when changing the location (e.g. from sea level to 2,000 m)
Depending on the measuring range, these errors could be substantial (e.g. in pneumatics at a measuring selection of 1 bar) or negligible (in hydraulics at 400 bar).
When you are uncertain whether your measuring task needs a complete pressure or gauge pressure measurement, simply contact us ? we?ll be glad to assist you.

Score: 5.0 / 10
are some really obvious ways that I could make fun of the title of this
game, but they seem too inviting. Itís
as if the title is baiting me into making fun of it just so that
afterwards, Iíll feel stupid. In
much the same way, Gore baited me into wanting to play it.
I had heard a bit about it prior to release and itís the newest
big release in the FPS genre in the last few weeks.
Maybe it was the title, or the fact that itís a science fiction
based shooter, or that itís not a sequel.
Whatever it was, I thought I might like it and that it might
offer something new and fresh. Unfortunately,
the game has made me feel stupid for thinking that.
is a very weak storyline involved for the single player where you are
put into a combat simulator for training.
Outside of it, war rages on the streets between gang forces
called the MOB, and government forces trying to control these street
gangs. Something goes wrong
though in your training and soon you are spat out of the machine and are
thrown into battle.
The single player campaign is a fair snooze. Enemies donít really offer anything too challenging, maps are fairly predictable, and sometimes it can be difficult to tell what the designer wants you to do. Some portions of the maps are fairly linear in that they lead the gamer through a series of enemies where the enemies will react the same way each time through. A game shouldnít frustrate or bore the player, and the single player campaign offers a bit of both.
biggest complaint is how difficult it is to get down a ladder.
It is so easy to just coast off of a ledge because some of your
characters are really fast movers.
It is also really easy just to fall off of the ladder if you
press the wrong direction. All
in all, itís just a poor design effort that sticks out.
The game does offer a few interesting ideas in the realm of FPS and these come through in the solid multiplayer experience. There is a
selection of different
character classes where speed,
endurance, and strength all vary and come into play.
Each character will begin each multiplayer session with a
different set of weapons, according to their character class.
Bigger, stronger characters can move faster with bigger weapons
but have a slower rate of movement overall.
Faster characters can use heavy weapons as well, but it will
drain their stamina more quickly. Stamina
also plays an important role in the game as running and jumping around
will tire you out, and getting shot, falling, or being close to an
explosion will quickly eat away your stamina.
ups explode when shot to punish those annoying campers, and creates a
new strategic dynamic to the game.
Most weapons have an alternate fire, and some are fairly
interesting including a shield, and a stamina drain.
Others though are basic fair and will be familiar to most gamers.
multiplayer modes offered are the standard fare of today with the
regular team and all out war modes offered.
Thereís no question that Gore offers solid multiplayer, but
thereís nothing there that is spectacular enough to make Q3A, UT, CS,
Medal of Honour, or Return to Castle Wolfenstein gamers switch.
Even ranked as a budget title, youíd be better off picking up
either Serious Sam game; those are budget titles worth your while.
With standard FPS games coming out these days of Soldier of Fortune 2 caliber, games like Gore just donít cut it. If it had offered a more comprehensive and fun single player experience with a great storyline, it might be worth it for the legions of FPS fans. As it stands, itís only just worthy of a place on my shelf, and the other game reviewers playing it. So fill in your own clever little stabs at the title of the game. Youíll probably have more fun doing that than you will playing this game.

ASTM approves sixth pathway for sustainable aviation fuel
ASTM International has approved and published a sixth pathway for the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The latest annex to ASTM D7566, Standard Specification for Aviation Turbine Fuel Containing Synthesized Hydrocarbons, establishes criteria for the production and use of catalytic hydrothermolysis jet fuel (CHJ), a type of synthetic kerosene.
The standard provides that CHJ fuel, which was developed by Applied Research Associates (ARA), may be blended at up to 50% by volume with conventional jet fuel.
The specification was approved and published with support from the Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative (CAAFI).
In the CHJ process (also called hydrothermal liquefaction), clean free fatty acid (FFA) oil from the processing of waste oils or energy oils is combined with preheated feed water and then passed to the CH reactor. There, under very high temperature and pressure conditions, a single phase is formed consisting of FFA and supercritical water (SCW) wherein the FFAs are cracked, isomerized, and cyclized into paraffin, isoparaffin, cycloparaffin, and aromatic compounds.
The CH crude oil produced by the CH conversion process contains thousands of isomers distributed over the entire boiling range of jet and diesel fuels.
The treated products, ranging from 6–28 carbon numbers, contain n-alkanes, iso-alkanes, cyclo-alkanes, and aromatics, require a fractionation step for separation to naphtha, jet fuel, and diesel fuel.
Research has shown that through the CH process, biojet fuels can be produced from a variety of triglyceride-based feedstocks such as soybean oil, jatropha oil, camelina oil, carinata oil, and tung oil.
“The development and deployment of sustainable aviation fuels is a critical part of the U.S. airline industry’s continuing commitment to reducing our carbon emissions,” said Nancy Young, A4A vice president, Environmental Affairs. “The new standard provides another important pathway for SAF production. The more pathways we have, the more SAF that can be produced and used to sustainably power our planes.”
Airlines for America (A4A) advocates on behalf of its members to shape crucial policies and measures that promote safety, security and a healthy U.S. airline industry.

2017 seems to be an exciting year for football in India. With discussions of a Super League to start off the year and the release of the FIFA rankings, fans of the sport have a lot to look forward too. Having lived in the shadow of cricket for so many years, football finally seems to be seeing its time in the limelight. The current excitement surrounding the sport is giving player and fans hope for a compelling future.
India’s government and football associations are making sure that the sport starts to have grassroots within the country. In nations such as the United Kingdom, football opportunities present themselves to the youth from the age of 3 and beyond. Very few programs such as those exist in India. A new tournament initiative called Mission XI Million (MXIM) has sunk its teeth into developing young players in the country. The ultimate goal of MXIM is to “build the football ecosystem and ultimately widen the talent pool for the various national teams.” The program has intentions to stretch throughout 36 cities, hoping to reach 11 million children. With the upcoming U-17 FIFA World Cup is set to help put Indian football on the global map. Such initiative as MXIM will allow the world to see the potential the country has for future footballers.
It seems as though the most recent FIFA rankings are to blame for the massive buzz happening for Indian football. Having won two major international games against Nepal and Kyrgyzstan, the fans and players alike seem to be on a football high. Not only did these wins give the country the boost they so desperately needed, but the national team has also made history. In March, the team was ranked at 132nd in the world. An astonishing leap in two months now puts the Blue Tigers in 100th place. Experts are predicting that they when the July rankings are released, India could even be seen in as high as 98th place. If this proves to be the case, this will be the highest the team has ranked in over 21 years. With all of these monumental movements in Indian football, it is no wonder the country is raving with passion.

Is it risk-free to give your canine CBD oil?
Besides this talk concerning the potential benefits of CBD, you might be asking yourself if there are any downsides or adverse effects, clinical trial dog seizurs cbd oil. Something to keep in mind is that CBD supplements and pet deals with have actually not been assessed by the FDA. And according to the ASPCA Pet Poison Control Center, there is not a great deal of clinical study taking a look at CBD for animals, so it’s always best to speak with a veterinarian first.
According to Dr. Jerry Klein, the American Kennel Association’s Chief Vet Policeman, some particular side effects to view out for consist of sleepiness, dry mouth, or decreased blood stress. Family pet owners might discover some assurances in a 2016 report from the Journal of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association (JAHVMA), which keeps in mind that there is anecdotal proof to recommend that CBD may be useful for pet dogs with persistent discomfort, anxiousness, and various other health problems.
What Is CBD Oil?
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a substance located in cannabis and hemp. Dr. Klein says it is necessary to note that in a lot of situations, CBD oil does not include delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the substance that gives cannabis its psychoactive properties. As a matter of fact, a lot of CBD products are obtained from hemp and not from cannabis.
Exactly how much CBD oil should you provide your canine?
Several pet proprietors usually question what CBD dosage is ideal for their puppy. However, there aren’t any kind of typical dosing standards for family pets given by veterinarians and exact application referrals can vary by the size of your pet dog. According ABSC Organics, a brand name whose items have actually been utilized in multiple professional tests executed by Colorado State College, here are some standard application recommendations to start your canine off with CBD (based upon weight):.
10 extra pounds ’ 2 milligrams.
20 pounds ’ 4 milligrams.
30 pounds ’ 6 milligrams.
40 extra pounds ’ 8 milligrams.
50 pounds ’ 10 milligrams.
60 pounds ’ 12 milligrams.
70 extra pounds ’ 14 milligrams.
80 extra pounds ’ 16 milligrams.
100 pounds ’ 20 milligrams.
The firm has actually located that these standard does are adequate for 70% of family pet owners that use its items, yet in some circumstances, a dog may need more than the advised starting dose. If this holds true, it’s usually best to slowly boost the CBD dose and carefully monitor your family pet’s reaction to discover their best dose.
No matter what CBD products you acquire for your pet dog, please consult your vet prior to starting a CBD regimen. And focus on the packaging of the CBD product to ensure you understand precisely the number of milligrams are consisted of in each drop of oil.
Exactly how Much Should I Offer My Canine?
Does are figured out by the size of the pet dog.

Hurricane Andrew made landfall on August 24, 1992, near Homestead, Florida, becoming one of the most catastrophic hurricanes in U.S. history. It had an extremely low central pressure of 922 millibars and maximum sustained wind speeds estimated at 165 miles per hour. The storm rapidly intensified less than 36 hours before landfall, leaving most residents less than a day to secure their homes and heed evacuation orders.
Observations obtained by the Coyote small Uncrewed Aircraft System led to a significant improvement in the analyses of Hurricane Maria’s (2017) position, intensity, and structure, according to new research published in the journal Monthly Weather Review. The study by scientists with the University of Miami’s Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies and Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) highlights how the Coyote’s novel near-surface measurements helped to more accurately depict Hurricane Maria’s inner core, demonstrating their ability to improve forecasts.
Saildrone is announcing a new mission to deploy five uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs) from the US Virgin Islands in August to gather key data throughout the 2021 Tropical Atlantic hurricane season. The USVs will be equipped with specially designed “hurricane wings” to enable them to operate in extreme conditions. Saildrones are the only USVs capable of collecting this data and are designed to withstand winds over 70 mph and waves over 10 feet, which occur during a hurricane weather system. The five saildrones will sail into the paths of hurricanes to provide valuable real-time observations for numerical hurricane prediction models and to collect new insights into how these large and destructive weather cells grow and intensify.
Originally Published January 25th, 2021 at NOAA.Gov
“We’re hopeful this new technology, once it can be successfully tested in a hurricane environment, will improve our understanding of the boundary layer and advance NOAA forecast models used in forecasts,” said Joseph Cione, lead meteorologist at NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory Hurricane Research Division. “Ultimately, these new observations could help emergency managers make informed decisions on evacuations before tropical cyclones make landfall.”
NOAA Hurricane Hunters continue reconnaissance for Tropical Storm Eta, which threatens to bring tropical cyclone hazards to south Florida as it restrengthens over water.
Tasked by the Environmental Modeling Center (EMC) and the National Hurricane Center (NHC), NOAA’s P-3 and G-IV aircraft have conducted reconnaissance for Tropical Storm Eta. Missions are scheduled to proceed through the weekend.
A new study published in Geophysical Research Letters looks at the relationship between how fast a tropical cyclone intensifies and the amount of ice in the clouds that make up the storm. Hurricane scientists found that tropical cyclones with greater amounts of cloud ice are likely to intensify faster than those with less cloud ice.
New Study Looks at How Different Techniques to Model the Hurricane Boundary Layer Can Improve Forecasts
In a new study published in Atmosphere, hurricane scientists looked at how turbulent mixing in the boundary layer affects the intensity and structure of hurricanes in NOAA’s Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting (HWRF) model. They found that turbulent mixing affects where thunderstorms in hurricanes occur, and how fast air flows towards the center of a storm.
NOAA concludes Environmental Modeling Center (EMC) tasked reconnaissance for Major Hurricane Delta on October 9. The P-3 aircraft took off from Lakeland, FL at 5:00 AM EDT to survey the system’s circulation.
NOAA and Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunters continue around the clock monitoring of Hurricane Delta as it traverses the Gulf of Mexico. Overnight flights on October 7 through midday October 8 found that Delta’s circulation is intensifying and expanding in size.


Jamia Millia Islamia university students in Delhi are on up in arms seeking appointment of Turkish language teachers. They claim that the university has not bothered to fill vacancies as a result of which the academics were suffering, Financial Express has reported.
A university spokesperson, however, claimed that one teacher had been hired and two more would be joining the department soon.
There are around 170 students who are participating in this protest, a student who did not wish to be named, told the Financial Express. The student said that generally teachers are brought in from Turkey but this time no such effort was made.
However, university sources said that it was only the third-year students who were protesting and that the first and second-year ones had refused to join in.
They also claimed that the third-year students forcibly tried to make a female student participate in the protest, but owing to a fightback from her brothers, the situation was brought under control.
Another varsity official said that one teacher had come from Turkey and was teaching the BA students for the last two days. Since 24 September, two teachers were teaching the diploma and certificate course students. Two more teachers, who are currently pursuing their doctorates in Turkish, in Turkey, will be joining the department by this week, the report says.

This series is set after the events of Terminator 2 - Tag der Abrechnung (1991). After the sacrifices of Dr. Miles Dyson and T-800 Model 101 Terminator, the Connors find themselves once again being stalked by Skynet's agents from the future. Realizing their nightmare isn't over, they decide to stop running and focus on preventing the birth of Skynet. With the aid of Cameron Phillips, a beautiful girl who has a mysterious past also linked to the future; Derek Reese, a Tech-Com soldier from the future whose past is linked with the Connors; Riley, a beautiful schoolfriend of John; and FBI Agent James Ellison, who was assigned to capture the Connors but joins them after his own encounter with one of the machines. They begin a quest to stop the United States military and a shadowy conspiracy from the future from creating the program that will stop at nothing to bring humanity to an end. Written by Ron
In the first few pages of the script, the character of Sarah Connor is written as "19, small and delicate features. Pretty in a flawed, accessible way. She doesn't stop the party when she walks in, but you'd like to get to know her. Her vulnerable quality masks a strength even she doesn't know exists."  For the role, Cameron chose Linda Hamilton , who had just finished filming Children of the Corn .  Rosanna Arquette had previously auditioned.  Cameron found a role for Lance Henriksen as Detective Hal Vukovich, as Henriksen had been essential to finding finances for the film.  For the special effects shots in the film, Cameron wanted Dick Smith who had previously worked on The Godfather and Taxi Driver . Smith did not take Cameron's offer and suggested his friend Stan Winston for the job.  Brad Fiedel was with the Gorfaine/Schwartz Agency where a new agent named Beth Donahue found that Cameron was working on The Terminator and sent him a cassette of Fiedel's music.  Fiedel was then invited to a screening of the film with Cameron and Hurd.  Hurd was not certain on having Fiedel compose the score as he had only worked in television music previously, and not theatrical films.  Fiedel convinced the two that he would be right for the job by showing them an experimental piece he had worked on, thinking that "You know, I'm going to play this for him because it’s really dark and I think it’s interesting for him." The song convinced Hurd and Cameron to sign him on to the film.

Texas vs Kentucky Volleyball Preview
The No. 2-seeded Kentucky Wildcats (23-1) will be looking for their first national title in program history when they face the No. 4-seeded Texas Longhorns (27-1) in the NCAA Women’s Volleyball National Championship Game on Saturday in Omaha, Nebraska.

The Longhorns swept the Badgers in three sets (26-24, 25-19, 25-23) to advance to their seventh national title game and first since 2016.
Big 12 Player of the Year Logan Eggleston led the way for the Longhorns with 17 kills in the win. Sophomore Skylar Fields had 12 kills, while Asjia O’Neal and Brionne Butler had 11 apiece.
Eggleston and Butler were named to the AVCA All-America first-team. Joining them with All-America honors for Texas this season were Jhenna Gabriel (third team) and Fields and O’Neal (honorable mention).

A former teacher who raped a woman and blamed the attack on "drink, tablets and stress" has been jailed
Michael Leydon, 61, claimed he was stressed in 2014 after son, Christopher, had been arrested on suspicion of rape.
He was found guilty of rape, and acquitted of a second charge, at Worcester Crown Court last month.
Sentencing at the court on Friday, Judge James Burbage QC ordered Leydon to serve six years and six months.
His trial heard Leydon had been a teacher at a school in Worcester in the 1980s, and had also taught in Redditch and Hereford.
Leydon, formerly of Diglis, Worcester but now of Worthing in West Sussex, retired from teaching in 2017.
He claimed sex had been consensual, but sent a number of text messages including one which read: "I did something disgusting as a result of drink, tablets and stress."
Robert Tolhurst, defending, urged the judge to take into account Leydon's previous good character and the depression and anxiety he was feeling at the time of the offence.
"He respects the verdict of the jury but he continues to maintain his innocence," Mr Tolhurst said.
"It was clearly a terrible, terrible act but a mistake."
Leydon's son Christopher, then 28, was jailed for seven years in 2017 after being found guilty of child sex offences, including rape.
After reading character references, the judge accepted that Christopher Leydon's arrest had placed a "significant burden of pressure" on his father.
"In a single moment you lost leave of your senses," Judge Burbage said.
"It is difficult to comprehend why you did that."

Oakley Cabin is a historic 19th century African American historic site. Built as one of three slave dwellings in the 1820s, the cabin was the center of an African American roadside community from emancipation well into the 20th century. The dwelling, inhabited until 1976, is now operated as a living history museum.
Oakley Cabin sits on a 2-acre tract that is part of a larger park running along Reddy Branch. The mill pond for Newlin's Mill was located in the low area behind the cabin. A trail, partially laid inside the old millrace, leads from the cabin to the site of the mill at the intersection of Brookeville Road and Georgia Avenue. Numerous wild plants can be seen, many of which are edible or medicinal and were used by local people. Hawks, foxes, deer, raccoons and other wildlife can often be seen from the cabin or trail. The trail also passes local quarries.

Application Note: Improvements in Field Narcotics Identification Using Raman Spectroscopy
27 March 2017
This white paper investigates the use of Thermo Scientific’s TruNarc analyzer, a handheld, field-based Raman instrument, to identify street samples of cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine. When analyzer results were compared against laboratory results for identification of the same drug samples, the analyzer retrieves 99% of the same results as laboratory testing and the other 1% of samples were inconclusive, therefore would normally be sent off for further laboratory testing. This article demonstrates that the TruNarc analyzer is reliable, as well as being handheld and easy to use.

buy plavix online clopidogrel purchase price
Plavix, a Drug consisting of Clopidogrel Hydrogen Sulphate compound, and comes in the category of drugs called Antiplatelet medicines. Plavix is used for the prevention of blood clots in the blood. Plavix/Clopidogrel is manufactured jointly by Bristol-Myers Squibb and Sanofi Pharmaceuticals.
Also keep in mind that you have to be honest with your dentist if you are currently taking Plavix. The dentist must talk to the doctor who has prescribed the Plavix to you before performing any invasive procedure or surgery.
Bleeding problems may also occur internally. Internal bleeding is often more severe than external bleeding, because blood can pool inside the body and cause damage. It is also more difficult to detect internal bleeding. The most common sites of internal bleeding related to Plavix are in the stomach and intestines. If you have bloody stool, or are coughing or vomiting up blood (It will look similar to coffee grains), you may have internal bleeding associated with Plavix and should get medical assistance. The manufacturer may not have warned sufficiently about the possible side-effects, especially those related to internal bleeding. These risk increase remarkably in those that have previously suffered from ulcers or other gastro-intestinal diseases or injuries. In those with high blood pressure or other circulatory conditions Plavix may actually increase the risk of heart attack or stroke as it may cause damage to the circulatory system. Also, other NSAIDs (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and aspirin should not be taken with Plavix as these could increase the risk of side-effects.
People who have suffered a heart attack or those undergone surgery can use Plavix. It contains clopidogrel as an actor agent.
The medication Plavix is an anti platelet drug that keeps your blood from coagulating. It is prescribed to patients who have had a recent heart attack or stroke as well as those with certain heart or blood vessel disorders. Because Plavix is an anticoagulant and makes you bleed more easily, it is important to let your doctor know of any illnesses you may have such as stomach ulcers. Plavix may also need to be temporarily stopped if you are having certain dental procedures done such as tooth extraction or oral surgery.
Generic Availability Plavix also is manufactured under the generic name clopidogrel. Marketed by Bristol.
The study was designed to see if the addition of Plavix - already a $9 billion a year seller for Bristol-Myers Squibb Co and Sanofi Aventis - to standard aspirin therapy would help further reduce vein narrowing or blockages after coronary artery bypass surgery.
It is common practice to administer a Plavix loading dose and aspirin after angiography and before intervention. By not administering Plavix before the angiography, you avoid having a patient with a platelet inhibitor on board that may need to go to elective surgery. Moderate sedation should leave a patient with control of reflexes and not snow a patient so much that they can'T even swallow. As far as performing angiography without sedation, many physicians do not routinely order sedation.
The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed that the patent on Plavix will remain in force.� The patent at issue is US Pat. No. 4,847,265, Owned by Sanofi-Synthelabo, covers clopidogrel bisulfate, the active ingredient in Plavix.� Sanofi-Synthelabo v. Apotex (07-1438).
Sanofi-aventis U.S. And Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (NYSE: BMY) today announced revisions to the U.S. Prescribing information for PLAVIX (Clopidogrel bisulfate), which include a boxed warning. The boxed warning concerns the diminished effectiveness of PLAVIX in patients who have a genetic variation leading to reduced formation of the active metabolite. These patients, who are designated as poor metabolizers, represent, according to the prescribing information, approximately 2% of whites, 4% of blacks, and 14% of Chinese. The percentage of poor metabolizers is estimated to be approximately 3% of the population, based on published studies.

Results: Here we present DnaSP (DNA Sequence Polymorphism) version 2.0, a software package for Windows that performs extensive population genetics analyses on DNA sequence data. DnaSP estimates several measures of DNA sequence variation within and between populations, linkage disequilibrium, recombination, gene flow and gene conversion (a new algorithm to detect gene conversion tracts has been included). DnaSP can also carry out several tests of neutrality: those of Fu and Li; Hudson, Kreitman and Aguadé; and Tajima. The results of the analyses are displayed in tabular and graphic form.
Availability: For academic uses, DnaSP is available via anonymous ftp: ftp.ebi.ac.uk in the directory/pub/software/dos.

Having the best defence in the league doesn’t usually translate into a crisis but Manchester City seem to be hitting one just at the wrong time.
The loss of their captain Vincent Kompany in the opening game of the season was a big blow to the squad, their leader and best defender out with a groin injury for a month.
This left them with a big problem because having only one fit centre half is not exactly a recipe for success. Javi Garcia had to fill in away to Cardiff and predictably they went on to lose the game in which they looked very shaky at the back.
Manager Manuel Pellegrini went out on deadline day and brought in a much-needed defender, Atletico Madrid’s Martin Demichelis arrived at the club where he would provide much needed defensive cover.
Any manager’s nightmare is seeing a newly signed player injured for an extended period of time.
This is exactly what has happened, Demichelis has been ruled out for six weeks with a knee injury and now City’s defensive worries start to pile up.
The manager and fans will be praying that Kompany makes a speedy recovery and returns to the starting lineup very soon.
Letting Kolo Toure leave on a free and join Liverpool is now looking a slightly foolish move as he would have provided more than adequate cover in the back four, he has been a hit with Liverpool fans and it’s only three games into the season.
This situation leaves Manchester City in a very difficult position and they can’t afford to fall behind their rivals in the title race.
For a team that has spend so much money on bolstering their attacking options they have seemingly neglected the defensive side of the game.

1. Soothed & Provoked
Pushing through the mahogany door, the antique but welcoming scent of wood and paper filled my lungs.
Joe's greeting followed no later than my entry, "Hey, Am!" He doesn't need to look to know it's me. "Pretty early for a holiday morning." His short bronze cropped hair always made him look younger than men in their forties.
"Just a good start for my spring break," I grinned at my old friend.
I have known Uncle Joe almost all my life, ever since Mum first brought me to this little bookstore. I was about seven and Joe has been very friendly all the time, as if we had known each other for years.
I walked along the aisles, scanning for something to read. The Raven.I picked it up, "Edgar Allan Poe, classy," Joe holding another pile of books, peeked over my shoulder.
I flipped through the pages and a card was stuck in the middle. A line was printed on it: All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream. The handwriting looks…familiar. I gathered a few more novels and hid in a corner. I need to spend some peaceful hours.
When I was about to leave, I waved Joe goodbye. He gazed at me and paused. He opened his mouth but not a single syllable escaped, his eyes went wide for a second.
But his warm smile returned instantly and he muttered, "Come and look for me if you need help. I will see you very soon." "Thanks, Joe."
I sauntered as slowly as I could, heading towards the one place I least wanted to be. Home. I could forecast what is going to happen. As soon as I stepped inside, a call came from the kitchen, "Amber?"
"Yes, Mum. I'm home." I announced in my polite tone. I tried to dash upstairs but the sound of footsteps was already approaching.
I turned around and Mum was standing right next to the staircase, "Where have you been?" Her face twisted into a frown. I could sense the discontent embedded in her words.
"Just wandering round the neighbo-"
"You were at Joe's, weren't you?" Mum accused, cutting my line.
"Mum, it's the first day of my spring break, I-"
"You should be preparing your schoolwork instead of wasting your time dreaming the unrealistic. And have you decided which college you are applying next year? Do some serious research!" the fury was surfacing.
"Nothing interests me apart from writing," I muttered. Once again, we fell into the same argument.
"Your father and I have made it clear that you need to pursue further studies. There're still a lot of subjects for you to choose: Medicine, Law, Psychology. You will not make a living by writing." she repeated the same speech for the third time in the month.
"Writing is my ambition, my dream, my passion!" I could feel heat flooding on my face.
"This is for your own good," she insisted. I have had enough of her caring talk.
"No, it's not. It's for your own good! Just because Grandpa failed to become a writer and made a terrible life out of you doesn't mean writing is going to ruin my life." I knew mentioning Grandpa would ignite her rage but I was too irritated to care.
"You don't know a thing." she swore through her teeth. Her words were coloured by anger but there was something else, was it sadness? Maybe I just imagined that.
I escaped from the hurtful conversation and locked myself in my room. Curling on my bed, I stared at the framed photo on my bedside table. It was Grandma and me. Grandma was the best storyteller ever, she told me history, stories she invented and stories Grandpa invented. Grandpa passed away when she was only forty. But she never blamed him for being too stubborn to give up writing or leaving three children for her to take care of alone, not even when she died three years ago.
I had no idea why Mum hated me following Grandpa's path; I didn't understand her and apparently, vice versa.
Trying to avoid any awkward moment with Mum, I lingered for a while and searched for something to do in my room. The box of photo albums on top of my bookshelf caught my eyes. They were labelled by years: 2003, 1998, 1992, 1989 and the oldest of all, 1985. I picked the last one, it was the year when Grandpa died; Grandma was forty, Aunt Jane was thirteen, Uncle Charles was nine and Mum was fifteen.
I cleared the thick layer of dirt from the album and flipped it open; time had washed most photos yellowish. The first one was Aunt Jane holding a gold medal in her swim suit, Grandpa's handwriting printed: Jane came first in 200m swimming race (25th March, 1985). There were many more interesting photos: Grandpa working on his new story; Uncle Charles crying over his broken new toy car.
Giggling over the description, I moved on to the next page, I froze.
It was Mum's birthday; standing beside her was another girl, slightly older and taller than her. Their arms wrapped around each other, there were a lot of resemblances between them, what's more is that the girl looked like…me. The frantic rhythm in my chest grew louder when I tried to pronounce the description, "17 year-old Amber stayed with us for her gap-year, 15th of August, 1985."
Before I could understand a word, darkness engulfed me.
Thank you for reading. I know this doesn't belong to any original stories at all, it was just a short story I wrote, inspired by some fanfictions.
I hope you like it & reviews would be awesome.

There are two Barbeque locations for Ken's, both of them in Lake City. I prefer the Margaret street location off I-75, Exit 434 where 47 meets main street gong in to Lake City only because after 3 years of eating here I've gotten to know the people who prepare and serve the food. My preference is the "working man (woman's) lunch which includes a sliced beef or pork sandwich, french fries and a drink in the $6 range. Plenty of seating, a down home atmosphere and incredible service makes this another unsung local Lake City gem. 3 different sauces are available and so popular you can take some home with you when you leave. Besides barbeque, the rest of their menu is excellent and I always take my friends and family to Ken's when they visit. If you are looking to travel and experience local food, this is another location popular with locals and tourists once they find it. Great take out window for quick trips for food. Highly recommend Kens. Finding local restaurants certainly has it's benefits. Enjoy!

About this collection
The PETS collection was born with a bit of fun by observing today’s children, animal lovers and thrown since early childhood into fantasy worlds: it is not uncommon to see kitten ears appearing through the hair of a laughing little head on the street.
Our children here have identified themselves so much with the animals they so admire that they imitate them with clothes and accessories, giving life to this witty and playful collection.
Our porcelain figures come from a strictly handcrafted process. This means that, even in reproducing faithfully the original model, every single piece will be slightly different from all the others of the same kind, as in the drapes, hairs and painting.
Every piece is therefore unique and defined by our exceptional attention to details, the high quality of our materials and the certainty of having a handmade product, which are certified also by the markings we put under every piece, such as the "made in Italy" stamp and our signature or logo.
This figurine is part of the collection inspired by the love for animals. In particular, this little girl disguises herself as a small and precious bee.
In fact, her dress has yellow and black stripes and hidden on the tail there is a black sting. The collar, on the other hand, is made of soft white tulle, echoing the hairy torso of the bee, while on the back a large white bow recalls its wings. The eyes are black like the hair, that are gathered in two oval buns almost as if they were the round eyes of a bee, while the bangs are pointed like a muzzle. She offers us a warm-colored flower in her hand, to invite her little friends to collect the nectar.
Height: 11 cm
Every product created by Sibania is unique both concerning the realization process of every single piece and the production technology, which boasts its being inimitable by others. Each item is hand made and hand painted in our workshop, set in Vicenza (Italy). All clothes are made of thin, porcelain layers on which different kinds of textures are impressed. These layers are cutted according to the characteristics of every single template. They are successively carefully applied on the figurine body. Hairstyles are also handcrafted depending on each figurine’s unique features. Faces, clothes and accessories are painted on the biscuit with non-toxic colors. The piece is eventually baked one last time (“third firing”). Any additional details such as violin strings or the Vespa kickstands are then applied on the finished piece.

A house full of attractive people, plenty of drama, and so many romantic storylines it's difficult to know where to look — seems like the ideal recipe for the perfect reality dating show.
In fact, it's a recipe for a potent mix of hazardous, health-affecting toxins that could be building up in your own home.
The spoof began with a new homeowner expressing their delight about the property's gas stove, but she soon realized that things were not quite as they seemed.
In comes "Nitrogen Dioxide," a character dressed in hot pink and who is described as a "respiratory damager."
"I'm Nitrogen Dioxide, but you can call me Di, because this body is to die for!" the new housemate said. "And I'll probably make you die."
She was soon joined by "Carbon Monoxide," a "fatally poisonous" character, and "Benzene," a guitar-strumming "cancer-causer" who soon found kinship with the remaining 18 "housemates," who excitedly reveal "We're all cancers!"
"'Natural' gas is a hot mess," the organization's website states. "After all, with 21 pollutants filling the air in your home, there's no escaping the drama. It's almost like living with a house full of toxic reality stars."
It's a hilarious video about a very real problem. Gas stoves are coveted as an attractive feature of a kitchen, but the problems mount quickly.
Energy companies often promote the use of natural gas as being better for the planet than burning coal, but in reality, it still produces emissions that trap heat in the atmosphere and exacerbate the rate of rising temperatures.
To avoid letting these toxic characters enter your home, perhaps consider an electric induction cooker to make your meals — or at least open a window if cooking with gas is unavoidable. To warm your home, air or heat pumps are far better for the planet than gas-fired furnaces, and good insulation can reduce the need to turn up the heat, too.

Private equity-backed fast food restaurant chain Shake Shack is reportedly preparing for an IPO.
Leonard Green & Partners owns a 39.5 per cent stake in Shake Shack’s majority owner, Union Square Hospitality Group, which has interviewed investment banks to appoint underwriters for the IPO, people familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Shake Shack is expected to post earnings of around $20m this year, said the report.
In addition to its US-based restaurants in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Florida and Massachusetts, Shake Shack is also present in London, Istanbul, Moscow and Dubai.
In June this year Leonard Green and fellow private equity firm CVC bought Advantage Sales & Marketing from Apax, which made a return of more than four times from the sale.
