Put Down That Turkey Baster! You’re Apparently Wasting Your Time
To baste, or not to baste, that wasn't even a question in our family (when I was a kid). Basting the Thanksgiving turkey was a tradition and not just because the brushing and/or squirting (with the turkey baster) of the big fowl was to magically impart juiciness and a brown crispy skin. It was also a crucial part of the big day's proceedings.
Every time the oven door opened for Mom to baste the main event, we'd rush to see how it was looking and smelling. This most likely occurred after our first leisurely nap of the day; lulled into slumber by our traditional Thanksgiving day breakfast of hot homemade brioche slathered with butter and my dad's homemade eggnog.
This amazing concoction of fresh eggs (pre-Salmonella scare days) heavy cream, espresso coffee, sugar, spices and heavily laden with Marsala wine is a holiday staple (from Thanksgiving through New Year's Day) in our family to this day.
Now those Butterball Turkey Talk Line geniuses have thrown a proverbial drumstick into the tradition-works by informing the world that basting your turkey is like "throwing water on a raincoat"! They indicate that basting a turkey is completely unnecessary!
They also say that you're interrupting the cooking time with basting, as your oven needs to re-heat and bring itself back up to the correct temperature every time you open the door.
I will accept the "raincoat" premise. After all, I grill turkeys and turkey breasts on my charcoal grill all the time and never baste them. But then I do have a question- -what is the freakin' turkey baster for and why is it called a turkey baster??!!!!
Fie on you Butterball smarty-pants scientists! The next thing you'll tell us is that watching the Macy's Day Parade is hazardous to your health!

Roasted Rosemary Potatoes Recipe
What’s better than a delicious side dish? A delicious side dish that is made from ingredients you grew yourself! Roasted Rosemary Potatoes are very easy to prepare, and make a great addition to any meal.The first step is growing your ingredients.
Growing Ingredients for Roasted Rosemary Potatoes
You can start working on your rosemary plants very early by growing seeds or cuttings indoors about 8 to 10 weeks before the last spring frost.When you move them outside, make sure it’s in a soil that drains well. We recommend BigYellowBag Black Garden Soil. The light and fluffy properties of the soil make it a fantastic growing medium. BigYellowBag Black Garden Soil is a mixture of black loam, peat loam, compost and manure. Comprised of sand, silt, and clay, loam is an important component of our Black Garden Soil. This creates the perfect balance of drainage and moisture retention. Packed with essential nutrients and organic matter, this soil will give your plants exactly what they need.
Caring for Rosemary
When you’re planting your rosemary, make sure to leave it plenty of room to grow; not only can it grow 4 feet tall, but it can also grow about 4 feet wide.
Prune your rosemary regularly to keep the plant healthy (you can use the young stems and leaves in your cooking). Just remember that you can only take up to a third of the plant at a time, and be sure to let it regrow before you harvest any more.
Additionally, you can dry out rosemary and store it in an airtight container for later use.
As for your potatoes, you can plant them very early in the season, as soon as the last spring frost is over. Plant your seed potatoes eyes up, about a food apart in a four-inch deep trench. Make sure that each seed potato has at least two eyes.There are two main things you have to keep in mind with potatoes – they need to be watered, and they need to stay covered. Throughout the growing season, you might have to re-cover them with loose soil.
Potatoes can be harvested after about ten weeks. Once the vines die, you’ll have to harvest them all right away. This isn’t a problem, though, because one of the best things about potatoes is that they’ll keep really well.Use a fork to gently lift the plant out of the soil, and remove the potatoes. Brush off the dirt and leave them out for a few days on a drying rack or screen in a dark, well-ventilated area so they can dry completely before you store them.
Don’t wash them until you’re ready to use them, because that shortens their storage life.
Now that you have your rosemary and potatoes, it’s time to get cooking your Roasted Rosemary Potatoes.
Roasted Rosemary Potatoes
Here’s what you’ll need:
1.5 pounds of potatoes
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried rosemary, or about 1/2 tsp fresh, chopped
1/2 tsp salt
Freshly cracked pepper
1 handful of parsley, chopped (optional)
Here’s what to do:
- Preheat your oven to 400F. Wash and cut your potatoes into 3/4 inch cubes or pieces. Ensure the potatoes are uniform in size.
- Put the potatoes in a bowl and toss them with all the ingredients (except the parsley) until they’re evenly coated.
- Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet in one even layer. Roast them for 15 minutes in the oven. Stir them, and put them back in for another 15 minutes. Check to see if they are cooked. If they need more time, put them back in for another 5 to 10 minutes (longer if you like them extra crispy).
- Serve them with parsley sprinkled on top. And dig in. Delicious!
It’s easy to love gardening when you can enjoy amazing, freshly harvested ingredients in a fantastic recipe such as Roasted Rosemary Potatoes! There are so many great dishes out there to enjoy fresh from your garden. For example, you can learn how to cook Zucchini Soup, Pasta Salad, or even bake recipes like Strawberry Shortcake or Rhubarb Pie! Enjoy!!

Sur la route, moments of bivouac, with ease !
The town of Vang Vieng
We've been through Vang Vieng, coming in the top three benchmarks of back-Packers of Laos. We can't tell you much more since we have tested or "tube" which is drinking beer in abundance by letting himself slide, failed on a buoy, or the bungalows of all colors that dot the river's edge, all equipped with a hammock. Let's say that arriving for lunch, the "menus"happy"and other"space dishes"in restaurants kitsh broadcasting episodes of the series Friends us have calmed down a bit.
En revanche, We enjoyed the region, with the road that slalomme between the rock pitons and the hot springs that offer us our bath of the week !
The capital City : Vientiane
Here either, We have not dragged, but merely an attempt to extend our visas without success (attention, the office does not receive the records of visa extension on Friday afternoon, et pourtant, schedules are well displayed around 5 p.m., sacred pranksters !), did some shopping and ate a good bakery from home in an air-conditioned room time to update the blog. But it was enough to appreciate this capital micro along the Mekong, without special interest, but not unpleasant.
Itinerant supermarkets !

REVEALED: Jonathan Begs Amaechi To Support Him For 2015
President Goodluck Jonathan’s quest to remain in office beyond 2015 is set to wear an ethnic coloration and it seems his main headache is Governor Rotimi Amaechi who is part of the G-7 governors who have already started meeting with the APC leadership on how to join the leading opposition party.
OluFamous.Com gathered that President Jonathan is now preaching peace with Amaechi from all angles and he also assured Amaechi that he will no longer allow anyone to undermine his authority as a governor.
Below is what a source close to Amaechi said about the secret meeting:
“The discussion started right from the Port Harcourt Airport when the trio boarded the chopper and continued at Okrika, but was brief. You know that it was a secret meeting and no person was allowed to join the three of them. But the discussion, as I later learnt, was on how to bring reconciliation to the PDP.
“We understand that both the president and Dickson persuaded Amaechi not to succumb to the pressure from the leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to dump the PDP and join the opposition.”
The PDP will become an opposition party if Amaechi and the G-7 governors eventually join the APC as they will be having about 20 governors, while the PDP will be left with just about 15 governors.

Representation of the Lower Himalayas in the Works of Ruskin Bond
Introduction to the Author:
Astha Saklani is a postgraduate from Miranda House, Delhi University. Her areas of interest include Post-Colonial Studies, Regional Literature, and Eighteenth-Century British Literature.
Ruskin bond’s works have been hailed by several critics as depicting the life of the hills he calls his home. Some have even called him a “regional writer”. However, upon investigating closely, one realizes that there appear some discrepancies in the way he portrays the Garhwal Himalayas in some of his fictional and non-fictional works. While in several of his fictional writings, he represents the rural life of Garhwal quite realistically and points out several social issues pertaining to the hills, his travel writings about the same region stand in sharp contrast. In his travelogue, his attitude is more like a European observing the orient but more without his own biases and a sense of superiority. This paper analyses two of his fictional novellas, A Long Walk for Bina and Vagrants in the Valley and excerpts from his travel-writings on Garhwal, On the Road to explore these contradictions and also seeks to find a possible explanation for the same.
Ruskin bond has been living and writing about the hills for more than three decades. He has often confessed that it is in the hills that he feels at home. The backdrop of most of his writings is either the Doon valley or the nearby hills. Bond himself states that he writes “about mountains and people who live in the hills of Himalaya. Most of [his] books are set in a small town like Dehradun or Mussoorie or a small village.” (Mirza) This has led several critics towards the simplistic conclusion that he portrays the life of the people in the hills realistically without actually considering all of his works. Meena G. Khorana states:
Like Narayan, he [Ruskin Bond] has come to be known as a “regional” writer, who evokes the local colour and atmosphere of the small towns and villages of the lower Himalayas. He brings a unique insider’s perspective when describing the lives of simple rural or small-town people. (Khorana 2)
When one reads his travel narratives about the region, one realizes that this may not be the case with all of his works. In his non-fictional travel-writings, he rarely delves upon the lives of the locals. The hills he describes seem almost empty of any inhabitants. When he does talk about them, which seems rare, he is not really interested in their customs or social problems. His narration becomes journalistic, very different from his more insightful fictional stories. His eloquence only finds its way to describe some British dweller of the nineteenth or twentieth century Garhwal. He often quotes British sources while describing the hills. The contradiction in his works in representing the same region is reflected in this paper. Can one really say then that he represents the realities of Garhwal Himalayas? His own works, as the paper explores, provide such varied and contrasting accounts of the hills that it is difficult to provide credibility of any one version. The paper also aims to find a possible explanation for this contradiction.
Several of Ruskin Bond’s fictional works provide an insight into the lives of rural Garhwalis. In A Long Walk for Bina, Bond portrays the life of a village around the historical town of Tehri which would soon be submerged in water. The story is about a small school-going village girl called Bina. Through her life, Bond is able to bring out certain aspects of the rural life of Garhwal. From the children having to walk miles in order to reach their school to the fear of wild animals which haunts the people who struggle to save themselves and their crops from these animals, Bond very minutely reports the lives of rural Garhwalis. A Long Walk for Bina, begins with the three children, Bina, her younger brother Sonu and Prakash walking five miles and crossing a stream to reach their schools. In a passing reference the readers are told that Bina’s father is a soldier and her mother takes care of her children, the fields and cattle. Though seemingly unimportant, this statement highlights what is known as the “money-order economy” of Garhwal. Due to the lack of job opportunities, most of the men from Uttarakhand enroll themselves in the Indian Army while the women stay back in the villages to raise their children and take care of their crops and fields. In Vagrants in the valley, the narrator talks about another village near Lansdowne:
There were not many men about, and the few that could be found were either old or inactive. Most young men joined the army or took jobs in the plains, for the village economy was poor. The women remained behind to do the work. They fetched water, kept the house clean, cooked meals, and would soon be ploughing the fields. (Bond 372)
The figure of a soldier is integral to the Garhwali imagination and literature. As early as the two World Wars, a lot of youth have been attracted towards army. Fairs like the one held in Chamba in the memory of Gabar Singh Negi, a soldier who won a Victoria Cross after giving away his life in France during World War I, are celebrated to commemorate the brave soldiers who died fighting for their country. Thus, in the very first chapter, Ruskin Bond provides a peak into the backbone of the economy of the hill state.
There are often mentions of leopard killing people in the story. The hills have been notorious for many man-eating tigers and leopards that become a nightmare for the rural areas. When the master Mr. Mani is found missing from the village and his clothes are seen near the forest, it is presumed that the leopard has killed him. Such references emerge time and again in the novel. At the end of the story, a leopard is seen watching the children Bina, Prakash and Sonu with her cubs. It is beautiful image with animals and humans living in complete harmony with each other. Bond’s fascination with the tigers and leopards emerges in several of his stories. Panther’s Moon is the story of how the villagers come together to kill a man-eater who menaces the village. But the villagers make it clear that tigers don’t start killing humans without a reason. “We should be safe as long as a shikari doesn’t wound another panther. There was an old bullet wound in the man-eater’s thigh. That’s why it couldn’t hunt in the forest. The deer was too fast for it”, remarks Kamal Singh in the story. (Chatterjee) Porcupines also cause grievance to the farmers as they eat up the formers’ crops, especially potatoes, at night. Mr. Mani in the story is always concerned about his potato crop which he finally gives up due to the porcupines. The narrator informs the readers:
Mr. Mani was having trouble with the porcupines. They had been getting into his garden at night and digging up and eating his potatoes… For Mr. Mani it was as though they were biting through his own flesh. (Bond 23)
Bond’s acute sensitivity to the problems which only a villager from Garhwal could enumerate is reflected through such scenes. In the words of Partha Chatterjee, “The writer obviously knows these people and their way of life. He loves and respects them as he does all the characters who figure in his stories.” (Chatterjee)
Bond’s story is set in a village near Tehri, a town doomed to submerge in water for the construction of a dam. At the time Bond wrote A Long Walk for Bina, the Tehri dam was a burning issue in Uttarakhand. Several protests were being held against the construction of the dam which would lead to dispersal of large number of local population which had made Tehri their home generation after generation. More than four dozen villages would also meet the same fate and the people would be force to give up their ancestral homes and fields. Anxiety of the soon to be displaced locals is voiced in the story. “To be uprooted like this- a town and hundreds of villages put down somewhere on the hot, dusty plains…” (Bond 39)Bond provides a picture of the thriving town of Tehri, “the clock tower and the old palace, the long bazaar, and the temples… All those people would have to go.” (Bond 38). A discussion between Bina and her teacher ensues while they visit the town of Tehri regarding the construction of the dam which would submerge the town in water. Bina asks her teacher if it would have any benefits for the locals. The teacher, though not convinced about the utility of dam tries to reason out its importance for the people who will benefit from the electricity produced. Although the teacher tries to divert from the topic, Bina herself is thankful that her village is not near any river. The lively town with the market selling everything from fruits and sweets to jewelry, radios playing songs in the shops, buses blaring their horns and monkeys and cows searching the dustbins for treats would soon be deserted by the humans and animals and become a memory of the past.
In sharp contrast to this is the way he narrates his travel writing. While he is still mesmerized by the beauty of the hills, he does not really delve into the issues of the inhabitants of the areas he visits. He seems more fascinated by the British predecessors who at some point of time might have lived in those hills. In his excitement to narrate the lives of these British colonizers, he at times ends up eulogizing them and neglecting the perspective of the locals about these colonizers. One such example of a British colonizer is that of Frederick Wilson, a deserter of the British army who after the Anglo-Afghan wars sought refuge in the hills. Soon he began selling the timber from the hills to a London-based company. (Smith) Due to his greed for money, he blindly deforested a large number of forests from the Harsil valley near Gangotri and became of the richest men in northern India. He also hunted a large number of animals to the extent that several species like the blue sheep, musk deer etc were almost extinct. Sundarlal Bahuguna, a leading environmentalist from Uttarakhand charges Wilson of destroying the flora and fauna of Garhwal. Wilson through his indiscriminate cutting of trees and hunting of animals destroyed the entire landscape of the region as the forests also stabilized water flow and prevented landslides. What the loss meant to the local Garhwalis can be estimated by understanding what the forests mean to these people. Ramchandra Guha states:
[The] dependence of the hill peasant on forest resources was institutionalized through a variety of social and cultural mechanisms. Through religion, folklore and tradition the village communities had drawn a protective ring around the forests… Often hilltops were dedicated to local deities and the trees around the spot regarded with great respect. (Guha 29)
It is strange that Bond would eulogize such a person given that his sensitivity towards plant and animal life. In an interview with Amrita Aggarwal, he reflected, “Problems of deforestation and pollution of environment and decay of wildlife have been the subject of my stories and essays.” (Aggarwal 166-167) Although Bond dedicates almost half of a chapter to Wilson, he fails to mention the above-mentioned facts. Moreover, Wilson is said to have exploited the local people. According to the local legends, Wilson, due to his ruthless exploitation of the region was cursed by the local deity, Lord Someshwar who pronounced the doom of Wilson and his successors and that no one would remember him in future. It seems ironic that Bond points that the “awe and admiration” that the locals still hold for Wilson who was rarely remembered by any inhabitants, let alone the whole world until he was resurrected by another British writer, Robert Hutchison who titled him as “Raja of Harsil”.
Bond, on the other hand, concentrates on the single good thing that Wilson did in his stay in Harsil, the apples he introduced to that area. Bond believes that now it is only these apples which provide identity to that region. Wilson is hailed as bringing modernity and civilization to that area which of course after his death gradually collapsed and now is “out of bounds to civilians”. He praises Wilson thus:
Wilson’s life is fit subject for a romance… Some men leave a trail of legend behind them because they give their spirit to the place where they have lived, and remain forever a part of the rocks and mountain streams. (Bond 411)
Bond’s version of Wilson’s story is based on a selective study of the latter’s life. Harsil becomes for Bond, the abode of Frederic “Pahadi” Wilson which is the former’s only claim to fame. Bond seems to suggest that whatever Wilson did for the region might not have been favoured by the locals because they did not know what is good for them. Edward Said points out the conviction of the colonizer in another context, “they [natives] are a subject race, dominated by a race that knows them and what is good for them better than they could possibly know themselves.” (Said 35)So Wilson was a harbinger of modernity and prosperity to the Harsil region which had been shrouded in darkness and superstition. It was a “triumph of English knowledge and power”, of “superior talents and unselfish conduct” (Said 35-37). Bond does not feel the need to talk about the local narratives and the legends. Throughout the travelogue, he quotes British sources which reflect the fascination of the British writers towards the exotic hills. He rarely listens to the stories of the locals. He describes Rudraprayag thus:
Perhaps its [Rudraprayag’s] chief claim to fame is that it gave its name to the dreaded man-eating leopard of Rudraprayag who, in the course of seven years (1918-250 accounted for more than 300 victims. It was finally shot by the fifty-one-year-old Jim Corbett. (Bond 423)
Apart from the highly exaggerated number of the victims of the man-eater, the statement smacks of chauvinism and is offensive to the region which is reduced to being the hunting ground of Jim Corbett. Rudraprayag, one of the “panch prayags” is the land of Shiva and the place of origin of Rudra music according to the folk legends. It is believed that it was here that Narada learnt music from Lord Shiva. With famous temples like Koteshwar, Rudranath and Chamunda Devi, all that Bond found worth mentioning was the British Hunter, Jim Corbett. Bond believes that due to Corbett’s compassion for the locals, the latter is “still a legend in Garhwal and Kumaon amongst people who have never read his books” (Bond 425-426). Interestingly, according to an article in Times of India, Jim Corbett is not even known to the residents of Nainital, the town Corbett made his home before moving to Kenya. (Manjesh) Is it then Bond’s own allegiance to the British predecessors combined with his wishful thinking which makes him believe that Garhwal owes its existence to the British colonizers? He associates the rainfall and thunderstorm at Tungnath temple with Emily Bronte’s novels, the “runda” (pika) with the white rabbit in Alice in Wonderland.
The above examples prove that it would be simplistic to call his works as representing the life of the people of lower Himalayas. One has to consider all his works before coming to any conclusion. What could be the reason for such contradictions while representing his so-called home? Critics have labeled Ruskin Bond as an Anglo-Indian writer due to his parentage. But the implications of belonging to the categories of both the colonizer and the colonized can be most successfully seen in the contrasting representation of the Garhwal region within his works. While it is true to some extent, one can hardly account for his projection of rural life of the hills just based upon his biography. It is true that his social and cultural background shape his writings to a large extent. His short-stories based on Mussoorie or Dehradun, for instance, cater to a certain class and do not usually address the local social issues of the underprivileged. At the time Bond wrote most of his works, Uttarakhand, then under Uttar Pradesh was in turmoil. The Uttarakhand Movement which demanded a separate state for the hills was at its height. People were killed in Mussoorie itself but Bond did not choose to voice them in his works.
Can an Anglo-Indian belonging to the privileged class truly represent the rural life of the hills? The question is certainly not new in the critical circles. Even in the nineteenth century, poets like Wordsworth were being charged of misrepresenting a certain community. However, one cannot deny the fact that in certain works, Bond is able to transcend the social and cultural barriers to be one with the suffering peasants, the displaced locals, the children of the hilly villages and even the animals. It is in his fictional works like A Long Walk for Bina where he is able to truthfully represent the social issues of Garhwal.
Therefore, one must keep in mind the contradictions projected in Ruskin Bond’s works before pronouncing that Bond truthfully represents the life of the hills of Garhwal. It becomes clear from the paper that Garhwal is many things for Bond; it is where the British colonials lived and thrived, it is where the rural hill folks fight for sustenance with animals and the modernization which at times displaces them from their homes, it is where his quest for natural beauty ends. It sometimes finds a local flavor in his works and at other times is universalized by him. Most importantly, it is a mysterious realm for Bond, a “sweet-scented mystery”, something which has preoccupied him for decades, which at times he seems to have solved but at other times deludes him. When the writer himself has not been able to reconcile with the region, it is futile to believe that he successfully represents the hills since he presents the readers with several versions and it would be a mistake to choose just one of them since there will always be some silences and absences in each.
 Hutchison published a book entitled The Raja of Harsil: The Legend of Frederick “Pahari” Wilson in which he dealt with the life of Wilson, a book which pulled Wilson out of anonymity after more than a century.
 The debate between Coleridge and Wordsworth where Coleridge accuses Wordsworth of misrepresenting the peasantry in his works since Wordsworth did not belong to the peasantry himself and was thus incapable of understanding them. Wordsworth also attacked by Francis Jeffrey in 1802 in the Edinburgh Review who critiques Wordsworth’s “affectation of great simplicity”. However, philosophers like Adam Smith in his theory of moral sentiments and Wordsworth himself believed that one could transcend one’s condition and sympathize with the other through the faculty of imagination. In contemporary times, the subaltern theories too deal with a similar debate.

Friendships are often defined by sharing. To share what brings joy and happiness. The word conjures laughter and good times and support. That’s the image of friendship that marks our growing up years and if we are lucky enough to carry those friendships into our adulthood, eventually, we grow to accept our eccentricities and quirks too.
But in Kashmir, when we were growing up, there was something far more dominant than eating or studying together in college and school, bitching about popular students or impersonating teachers which made for great anecdotes later leaving behind a trail of memories that one looked back at with tenderness.
In Kashmir, we shared silences. In these silences, we offered each other the safe space needed for survival. When a friend of mine (whose father had been assassinated) and I took a walk together to the houses of our respective relatives ) since we couldn’t take a bus to downtown Srinagar as the whole area was under siege), we spoke about the day at school, weekly assignments, worried about not going home that day, ate ice-creams. But our conversation was punctuated with silences and pauses. We took great care to circumvent anything that could lead us to talk about her family.
The silence between us that day wasn’t indifference but protection. A refuge in which we shielded each other from a moment of intense pain or for her to relive suffering. At fifteen years of age, life had taught us that friendships were not always about communicating through words but sometimes the unspoken carried more comfort. Silences kept us safe

PhD ’19, Nutritional Sciences/Health Behavior and Health Education
The study seeks to advance understanding of disordered eating in female and male collegiate athletes. Additionally, the proposed study aims to validate an eating disorder screening tool that can be used for female and male collegiate athletes. This project allows for the University of Michigan School of Public Health to collaborate with the Eastern Michigan University Athletic Department and will culminate in written papers in peer-reviewed journals to share the findings. Overall, the aims of the proposed project are: 1. To validate the Eastern Michigan University eating disorder screening tool by conducting principal component analysis, examining internal consistency of the questions loading onto the same factors, and using the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire as the existing criterion to compare the new tool against. 2. To investigate longitudinal trends in eating disorder risk among male and female athletes from Freshman to Senior year. 3. To look cross-sectionally and prospectively at eating disorder scores by weight categories, specifically “normal” weight athletes versus underweight athletes versus overweight/obese athletes. 4. To examine the cross- sectional and prospective associations between eating disorder screening score and menstrual regularity in female athletes.

Micro Trend: Creative Floors Combining Wood and Ceramic Tile
There is so much going on in the field of flooring! Let's talk about floors. I have seen beautiful ceramic tiles for floors that have become a highly valued option with the much seen white subway tiles, beehive or hex shapes and the herringbone pattern. If you are much more into a material that feels and looks cosy, you'll probably go for parquet but for those who want to try something new, mixed flooring options such as ceramic tiles AND wood are really trendy now.
I started seeing this material combo last year when Paola Navone's residential project in Italy was published. Still until now there is no other space I have seen that beats it. The color and shape remind me of a sea of clouds where the wooden tiles are perfectly cut to fit into the ceramic pieces. The contrast of the warm wood and cooler colors chosen for the tiles is really working here.
Here's another look (above) shown over at 41zero42 in Italy that I love, it's a beautiful look in a kitchen/dining space. What I like about this trend is you are defining your own style. Combining the two materials in a single room creates a customized look where you can work your design skills and get a unique look & feel. You decide on the shape, colors and pattern.
Kitchens and bathrooms are ideal locations to combine hardwood and ceramic flooring because the materials are durable and easy to match to counters and cabinets. And it looks great!
And then you have the 'high traffic' areas. Hallways and entryways receive traffic that can wear down natural hardwood floors over time. Plus, many times your wipe your (wet) shoes of in this area. It is not just a question of trend but a practical solution for certain areas in your home too.
This is quite masculine yet it looks great and gives a certain loft feeling in this photo studio in Paris.
And to finish up, the same manufacturer Paola Navone had chosen called Tabarka Studio has another spectacular and unique look combining tile with wood.
Are you into wood or tiles? And could you see at your home a combo of both? If so, which design did you like here the most? Have a wonderful upcoming Spring time!

Presidential candidate Joe Biden has told some huge fabrications in the past half century, but when the most the liberal main stream media outlet has to call him out for blatant lies, then it’s obviously a bad sign.
Biden, during the final debate, claimed he had never opposed fracking. Now, for those of us that pay attention, we know that is ludicrous.
However, Biden’s Pinnochio-istic debate imitation was too much for even CNN.
“So, in this case, Trump is correct,” said CNN reporter Daniel Dale. “Biden did make anti-fracking comments during the Democratic primary in 2019 and 2020, and Trump was not lying.”
That sound you hear is a collective gasp from the left. How could this be?
I doubt it’s a sign of things to come, but I’ll give credit where credit is due. I’m glad CNN told the truth…even if was only this once.

This year, a social campaign 09.To the Birth of Fashion took place during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia in collaboration with Russia’s Ministry of Health. The point of the campaign was to show that baby expecting is a joyful but difficult period for any woman, when she wants to be stylish, modern, and elegant – and she can.
Materinty fashion is a special category of clothing, and to create it designers need to understand women’s anatomic and psychological features. 09.To the Birth of Fashion has proven that Russian designers know how to make perfect silhouettes for expectant women.
“What makes women beautiful and makes them smile at their reflection? Stylish and trendy clothes that Russian designers have presented today. Expecting a baby is one of the most important periods in every woman’s life. During MBFW Russia, we’ve seen that these two things can provide a perfect combination, making moms-to-be endlessly trendy and pretty,” Oleg Salagay,
Deputy Minister for Health in the Russian Federation. The project was participated by 12 designers who created unique looks for moms-to-be.

Here's what I don't understand about the 2 DM setup. Every week, Gana finds himself in areas in or around the final third where he needs to find a good forward pass and he doesn't have the skills to do that. The space is there but we're wasting those opportunities by giving them to a player who isn't good at moving the ball, especially in tight areas.
Why not drop one of Schneiderlin/Gana, ask the remaining DM to stay deep, and take a defensive downgrade at the open position to add quality in the final third? If we were to do a better job of keeping the ball in attacking areas, the defensive downgrade might not even matter.

This student handout is a fun way for kids to learn the names of Florida seashells. Complete it by drawing lines from the name of the shell to the image on the side. Because the printout is in black and white, it might be fun to have kids look up the shell online, or in a book, to color it correctly.
You can become more familiar with the different types of shells at my Types of Shells article which I wrote at the Wizzley writing site.
I’ve been creating seashell coloring pages for a while with a single shell (or two) on each page. This new seashell identification matching page is a bit different because it’s more of a learning page for classroom or home-school teaching.
This free, printable, page lists twelve common names of shells with the corresponding shell art along each side. Kids can draw a line to connect the picture with the name and then they can color the page. It’s not very difficult and may apply to many grade levels and ages. I’ll leave that up to the teachers or parents to decide. You may also get the Answer Sheet here, or visit my blog pages listed below which have pictures of the mollusks and echinoderms pictured on the worksheet.

Audit: Wisconsin lottery sales rose 7% last fiscal year
MADISON — Wisconsin lottery sales increased nearly 7% over the last fiscal year, according to an audit released Wednesday.
The Legislative Audit Bureau’s report found that ticket sales increased from $667.4 million in fiscal year 2017-18 to $713.1 million in fiscal year 2018-19. Operating expenses grew at roughly the same rate, from $487.2 million to $520.8 million.
The audit found that the state Department of Administration and the Legislature’s budget committee in September authorized the use of $271.2 million in lottery proceeds for property tax relief in fiscal year 2019-20.
The lottery has provided $4.6 billion in property tax relief since its inception in 1988 through fiscal year 2018-19, the audit said.

ANTONY STEWART | September 24th, 2012
VETERAN Townsville cricketer Matthew Burton said he had never seen anything like it after a Saints' batting masterclass produced possibly the highest single-day score in local A-grade history.
Led by a blistering innings from Todd Schloss (201), Saints amassed 5-502 declared in their annihilation of Brothers.
No.4 Schloss was unstoppable, smashing an under-strength Brethren attack to all parts of Endeavour Park.
He belted 29 fours and seven sixes in his double ton which came from just 139 balls, and shared in partnerships of 146 and 213 with Brad Stout (90 off 84 balls), and Burton (145 not out from 153).
The 502-run total came from only 75 overs, a rate of nearly seven an over.
"It probably was a little bit insane," Burton said. "Once we got through that first hour the boys put the ball along the ground on a fast outfield and we hit a lot of boundaries.
"They worked hard until it started to get easy and then really cashed in at the end of the day."
Burton said in 12 years in Townsville A-grade he'd never seen a team amass 500, while Schloss's 200 was the first in Saints' history.
Townsville Cricket representatives said they could not confirm Saints' score was a record, but were confident it was.
Burton said he had the best view in the house as he watched Schloss send a statement to the rest of the competition after the Queensland Country Cricket representative had been critical of his 2011-12 form.
"By his own admission I think last year wasn't one of his better years ... and he worked really hard in the off-season," Burton said.
"He got really fit and it really paid off, the hard work that he put in."
Brothers had headed into the second day of the clash confident of defending their 256-run target and when they reduced Saints to 2-19 with the dismissals of Chris Briody (0) and Alex Peters (5) they looked on course.
Enter Cyclone Schloss.
With Brothers minus key bowlers Andrew Boyle and brothers Rhys and Kyle Dearness, he batted at a relatively normal pace for his first hundred before exploding to produce his second off about 50 balls.
In the other games, Suburban Parks cruised to a 105-run win when they bundled Wests out for 67 in pursuit of 172, but couldn't produce an out-right triumph as Wests dug in their heels in the second innings and declared at 9-117.
Likewise, Norths won comfortably on first innings against Wanderers, but fell short of an outright victory.

text: In some families there is an increased risk for colorectal cancer, caused by heritable, but often unidentified genetic mutations predisposing to the disease. We have identified the likely genetic cause for disease predisposition in a large family with high burden of colorectal adenomas and carcinomas, in addition to extra-colonic cancers. This family had previously been tested for known cancer susceptibility genes, with negative results. Exome sequencing was used to identify a novel mutation, c.1373A>T (p.Tyr458Phe), in the gene for DNA polymerase epsilon catalytic subunit (POLE). This mutation is located in the active site of the exonuclease domain of the enzyme, and affects a residue that has previously been shown to be important for exonuclease activity. The first predisposing mutation identified in POLE (c.1270C>G, p.Leu424Val) was associated with colorectal cancer only, but another mutation with a broader tumour spectrum (c.1089C>A, p.Asn363Lys) has recently been reported. In the family described in the present study, carriers generally have multiple colorectal adenomas and cancer of colon, pancreas, ovaries and small intestine which represents an important broadening of the tumour spectrum of POLE mutation carriers. We also observe a large phenotypic variation among the POLE mutation carriers in this family, most likely explained by modifying variants in other genes. One POLE mutation carrier has a novel variant in EXO1 (c.458C>T, p.Ala153Val), which may contribute to a more severe phenotype. The findings in this study will have important implications for risk assessment and surveillance of POLE mutation carriers.


Martynas Bialobžeskis (b.1976) studied composition with Prof. Julius Juzeliūnas at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre from 1994 to 1999. As a chairperson of the Youth Section of the Lithuanian Composers' Union since 2000, he was engaged in diverse activities devoted to promoting young Lithuanian composers and their work, including the organization of the annual "Druskomanija" Festival (Youth Chamber Music Days in Druskininkai). He also organized new music festival "Bendras faktorius" held in Vilnius in 2000 and 2001. His works have been performed at the contemporary music festivals "Jauna muzika" (2002, 2003, 2008), "Kopa" (1998), "Gaida" (2007, 2009), "Permainų muzika" (2008), "Iš arti" (2008). From 2000 to 2006 Martynas Bialobžeskis worked as a sound engineer in the State Youth Theatre in Vilnius. Since 2008 he is a member of electronic music collective "Diissc Orchestra". Their debut album D.O., released in the same year and including pieces by five composers (Bialobžeskis' "CD in C(D)" for viola and electronics among them), was awarded the prize for the best electro-acoustic work at the composers' competition organized by the Lithuanian Composers' Union.
The music of Martynas Bialobžeskis seems to fall under four broad categories: academic, theatre, club music, and search for a specific sound, with none of them taking the lead. These different areas of composition often interact thus blurring the established boundaries of some particular genre or style. He made his debut as a theatre composer while 17 years old and since has been constantly collaborating with different Lithuanian theatre directors. Also he began fusing the academic and popular music in his academy years, collaborating, since 1997, as an author of music and lyrics with various Lithuanian pop and electronic music groups. Even when writing for chamber and symphony orchestra, he employs rhythms, modes, harmonies and emotional drive characteristic of contemporary dance music ("Separations", "Symphom", "As If Pressing Play", etc). Both fields are also integrated in compositions which combine acoustic and electronic sound ("Radio CMB", "Pro/Free", "As If Pressing Play", "e-Sax", and others). However, the most organic synthesis of academic and pop music is achieved in his incidental pieces for theatre which often assume the shape of stylistic collage (for instance, the juxtaposition of cabaret, club music and experimental electronics in the drama performance "The Cronicles of Livelong Days and Livelong Nights").
Martynas Bialobžeskis claims that he is definitely not one of those composers who like to 'calculate' their music. Instead, he seeks for the balance between the feeling and intellect, freedom and structure, music and text. In his works, he tries to retain the sense of a game which is often conveyed in the titles of his works, always implying a possibility of different reading.

This is GEM! GEM I SAY!
Great Flutter demo.
Why burden the developer with code in the first place? How about Photoshop-to-code frameworks like Altia to bridge the gap?
I'm still seeing a pretty big disconnect with this workflow, but now it's design to design rather than design to development. As a designer, I iterate on ideas quickly, duplicating artboards to try out new ideas, changing type on the fly, experimenting with layouts etc. For me, the absolute quickest way to do this is by using a visual design tool.
Additionally, for any icon design or illustration, the designer is now left using their graphic design tool to create assets out of the context of the rest of the app. This tool seems to take some of the work away from developer, but proportionally adds that work back to designers.
If a tool like this is going to be successful for both designers and developers, it needs to better take the needs of designers into consideration. Allow shapes to be drawn into the live space using tools designers are used to, and generate columns and rows intelligently, or at least visually.
(disclaimer: I'm on the Flutter team at Google)
In response to Totoro Zhen and Louie Solomon about workflow disconnects — I'm a programmer who also does design work, but I had the same reaction as you concerning the need for a more visual tool to help with the design side. As you know, Flutter is new but is already getting a lot of attention. In addition, Flutter is an open source project and we are encouraging other developers to get involved. If someone is interested in building a more design-oriented tool (or adapting an existing one) to work with Flutter I'd be happy to talk to them and help in any way I can.
Nevertheless, I was a little surprised after this talk at I/O when I talked to a few designers who were very excited about Flutter because it allowed them to build a non-static prototype quickly. They wanted to see interaction, animation, and other dynamic parts in their prototype. They didn't seem to mind the need for some simple code (one of them commented that it didn't look any more difficult than dealing with HTML and CSS). And they liked that it really helped the transition from design prototype to development.
I think what would be really cool would be a visual tool that answers your concerns about making the design process easier, but which still generates Flutter code so that it creates a working prototype.
Is there already a maps widget in Flutter?
I like Flutter idea a lot, I just feel that you could try do something like JSX for that build method, it just feels more intuitive and clean in my opinion.
Now we can put our designers to work Muhahaha
This was a great video! I’m switching up my team on how we work in 2018.
How do you turn on the visual debugger in IntelliJ?
Ux designer is not a developer . 🤔
It seems to me like flutter needs something like JSX to make this really useful for designers. Expecting them to learn a language just seems like a waste of time. Like the desiger here said, it took her a while to learn it and it involved plenty of questions with the team and stackoverflow – just like learning a new programming language does!
So, if I am making an android only app, should I try flutter or just stick to XML?
I think this is a more complicated way to achieve the same than React Native or NativeScript does, and the hype is all about being promoted by Google. At least with React Native and NativeScript, you already have a CSS – HTML syntax alike, which is more of a common ground for designers than learning all of this from the ground up.
this is good
Can we see the hole files?
Microsoft did this 10 years ago with XAML and Blend. It so sad that the technology never took off because the idea was a game changer.

This book provides a state-of-the-art overview of distributed model predictive control (MPC) approaches. It carefully explains the core and rationale of 35 approaches, providing detailed step-by-step algorithmic descriptions of each approach.
The rapid evolution of computer science, communication, and information technology has enabled the application of control techniques to systems beyond the possibilities of control theory just a decade ago. Critical infrastructures such as electricity, water, traffic and intermodal transport networks are now in the scope of control engineers. The sheer size of such large-scale systems requires the adoption of advanced distributed control approaches. Distributed model predictive control (MPC) is one of the promising control methodologies for control of such systems.This book provides a state-of-the-art overview of distributed MPC approaches, while at the same time making clear directions of research that deserve more attention. The core and rationale of 35 approaches are carefully explained. Moreover, detailed step-by-step algorithmic descriptions of each approach are provided. These features make the book a comprehensive guide both for those seeking an introduction to distributed MPC as well as for those who want to gain a deeper insight in the wide range of distributed MPC techniques available.

A wearable, soft, robotic device could help patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) walk without experiencing freezing of gait (FoG), early research suggested.
The robotic apparel, worn around the hips and thighs, gently pushes the hips as the leg swings, facilitating a longer stride and preventing FoG, a common disorder in PD that affects nearly all patients over the disease course.
The small, proof-of-concept study included one person with PD. But investigators noted the reduction in freezing and falls and improvement in walking distance and speed was dramatic. Incidence of FoG decreased from 63% to just 6% when the patient wore the robotic garment outdoors. Wearing the device indoors eliminated freezing altogether… Continue reading.
Researchers in academic and industry labs have previously developed robotic devices for rehabilitation and other areas of life that can either assist walking or running, but no untethered portable device could efficiently do both. Assisting walking and running with a single device is challenging because of the fundamentally different biomechanics of the two gaits. However, both gaits have in common an extension of the hip joint, which starts around the time when the foot comes in contact with the ground and requires considerable energy for propelling the body forward.
As reported today in Science, a team of researchers at Harvard’s Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering and John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), and the University of Nebraska Omaha now has developed a portable exosuit that assists with gait-specific hip extension during both walking and running. Their lightweight exosuit is made of textile components worn at the waist and thighs, and a mobile actuation system attached to the lower back which is controlled by an algorithm that can robustly detect the transition from walking to running and vice versa… Continue reading.

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has urged Nigerians to resist the manipulations of a selfish few, who seek power at all costs for selfish reason.
It wanted citizens to challenge those who polarised the country, stressing that “as Nigerians, we have no country other than this; we can have no better freedom than in our country.”
In its Eid-el-Kabir message to Muslims and other Nigerians, signed by its President, Comrade Ayuba Wabba, NLC said Nigerians, whether Muslims or non-Muslims, must imbibe the spirit of give and take, the spirit of love of God and love for their neighbours.
It said there was no other time than now to strengthen the bond of unity “that holds us together and the shared values that stand us on the high pedestal in the community of nations.”
The statement reads: “On behalf of the Nigeria Labour Congress, we wish to congratulate and celebrate with our Muslim brethren on the occasion of this Eid-el-Kabir. The occasion symbolises sacrifice, discipline, faith, the spirit of give and take, love of God and love for our neighbours, obedience to and total submission to God our creator.
“In the light of this, we take this opportunity to appeal to Nigerians, not only Muslims, to imbibe the spirit of Eid-el-Kabir.
“No time is more auspicious than now for us to imbibe these qualities, especially now that we have challenges in the polity, including frightening political disputations, loss of lives due to conflicts across the country, resurgence of suspicions, sectarian/hate tendencies, violence and threat to our oneness and sovereignty.
“This moment avails us a great opportunity to strengthen the bonds that hold us together and the shared values that stand us on the high pedestal in the community of nations.
“We ordinary Nigerians should not lend ourselves to the machinations of a selfish few, who seek power at all costs, not for the benefit of Nigerians, but for themselves.
“We should rise with a common resolve to challenge those people and those things that polarise us. We have no other country than this. We can have no better freedom than in our country.
“Let us unite to fight those things that keep us down. Eid-el-Kabir offers an opportunity for reflection. Once again, we wish all of us, especially our Muslim brethren, a happy celebration.”

You enter the room- that's being born;
And then you must live- work out your soul,
Aha! - lines from a poem by Edgar Lee Masters
o me, o life. why must i always go about blogging with a depressing air? well...today for the first part of this day. Another line from Masters is "As they read this empty rhetoric." I will tell you what the lines of empty rhetoric was in a moment...sit on the edge of your seats, please. in order for language to be persuasive....motive and belief are very important elements. Motive to persuade the other, belief that you are correct in your stance. This is why, i believe, I have trouble understanding and using rhetoric. I must stand on solid ground in order to stand straight. I shift on so many ideals and emotions...mainly pertaining to the art world. This world of aesthetics seems to be at times just a curse to me. Perhaps it is because I find it a struggle to proclaim the solid ground which I stand on in life, in this "other world" i step into everyday. This world consists of my sketchbooks, the studios, the critics, and my own mind. I know the light of Christ is there with me...but in expressing through art....it isn't coming. i think i am looking too hard. Enough. my posts do not follow any form or outline. Another example that I am not praticed in rhetoric.
the lines were from another poem by Master about a man who life had beaten but everyone thought that life was kind to him.
Good news today! I found civa.org!!!! Here is what it is: "Christians in the Visual Arts exists to explore and nurture the relationship between the VISUAL ARTS and the CHRISTIAN FAITH." (and later in another paragraph) "It is our purpose to encourage Christians in the visual arts to develop their particular callings to the highest professional level possible; to learn how to deal with specific problems in the field without compromising our faith and our standard of artistic endeavor; to provide opportunities for sharing work and ideas; to foster intelligent understanding, a spirit of trust, and a cooperative relationship between those in the arts, the church, and society; and ultimately, to establish a Christian presence within the secular art world." Praise the Father of Lights, which all good things are from!!! I have been praying to find out about artists who follow Christ to learn from their worldview and see how this is evident in their work (without it being kitsch or cliché). This is the start! And it renewed my spirit today in the studio. I read in Art & Fear that art is about beginnings....or did Ben Shahn write that....both i have read recently. I would have to agree and this is a new beginning!

Delhi’s water production has fallen by around 100 MGD (million gallons per day), according to Delhi Jal Board (DJB) vice-chairman Saurabh Bharadwaj.
Visiting the Wazirabad barrage on Friday, he said the level of water at Wazirabad pond has dropped from the normal of 674.5 ft to 667.7 ft. “There is only about 6 inches of water in the river. The depth of water in the river at the Wazirabad barrage is usually around 8 ft. Our pumps have not been able to lift water from the river and production has been hit. There is a shortage of nearly 100 MGD. This indicates water from Haryana is not being released into the Yamuna at all,” he said.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that they would request Haryana to give them more water on humanitarian grounds. After a meeting with the L-G, Kejriwal told the media, “We will request Haryana if they can give us a little more water. Whether they are giving all the water… there is no need to go into the law. There is a shortage of water in Delhi at this time. So, if they give us a little more water, on humanitarian grounds, it will be good, since the level of water in the Yamuna has fallen. Let’s not go into how much is being given or not. Just that Delhi is facing a shortage and needs water.”
Temporary arrangements have been made to try and draw water from the nearly dry river. These include a dredging system and new pumps set up at the Wazirabad barrage. “Water at the barrage, which covers an area of 700-800 metres, will be collected at one place and then lifted using new pumps installed temporarily,” said a communication from the DJB. Sand is removed with the help of the dredger to create a cavity where water can collect at a depth sufficient for pumps to draw water from it.
Best of Express Premium
Bharadwaj told The Indian Express that the Upper Yamuna River Board has also been approached. “We have written to the Upper Yamuna River Board asking them to direct Haryana to release water,” he said, adding that dredging machines and pumps are only temporary measures, and that the situation is “extraordinary”.
“We have never used such measures before. This is historic,” he said.
Kejriwal also requested L-G governor Vinai Kumar Saxena to take up water problem with Haryana to improve supply in Delhi. Saxena assured the CM he would take up the issue at appropriate levels, said a statement from the L-G House.
