North beauty Pragya Jaiswal (Pragya Jaiswal) is shining in traditional look. The boy is winning hearts with his beautiful smile. Pragya is getting hitched in the latest photo shoot.
Currently, young beauty Pragya Jaishwal is acting in Telugu films. She finally got a blockbuster hit with ‘Akhanda’. The young beauty impressed with her performance opposite senior actor Balayya. On the other hand, I was impressed with the beauty.
However, Pragya was first introduced to the Telugu audience with the films ‘Dega’ and ‘Mirchilanti Kurradu’. She got a hit with the movie ‘Kanche’. Pragya hooked the audience with her performance in the film. It entertained on the silver screen without any glamor show.
Pragya has been active in the industry for almost ten years. They keep shining in those movies. However, due to the lack of big hits, this beauty’s career is not gaining speed. Finally got a huge hit with Akhanda. Currently in the same Josh.
It seems that Pragya is trying for more opportunities on this occasion. Bhama, who will act only if her role is given priority in the show, has not announced any project so far. Fans are eagerly waiting to see AA in future films.
As part of hunting for opportunities, Pragya is also seen as active on social media. Beauties are going to be seen in stunning outfits. At the same time, it is exciting with the skin show. This flamboyant Bhama flaunts her sizzling looks in trendy outfits. They say that no matter how hard they try, new projects are not coming.
Bhama was recently seen in a traditional dress. Shining in white chudidar. Impressive like a beautiful Telugu girl in traditional clothes. On the other hand, it is also associated with a beautiful smile. Fans are also making Pragya’s pics viral with likes and comments. Finally, she once again participated in an ad shoot opposite Balayya.

6 Plant Foods that Ensure Good Visual Health in Children
In young children, visual development culminates years after birth, as does cognitive development as they grow. For this reason, eye care is considered critical for learning and social progress. Parents are concerned about preventing any eye damage and, therefore, we want to tell you about the vegetables that ensure good visual health in children. Keep reading so that you can enrich your children’s menu with foods that benefit visual health and facilitate better learning.
The importance of diet in the visual health of children
Although it doesn’t represent a miracle solution, a proper and balanced diet for children is capable of preventing certain visual problems. It can also stop the progression of some diseases. The promotion of children’s visual health begins before birth, hence nutrition during pregnancy is fundamental for their development.
At birth, the eyes and visual pathways are immature and develop little color differentiation. But, as the child grows, visual development occurs very rapidly. By 6 months, they can see at a higher resolution. But how do they achieve this rapid visual development? Initially, it’s through breastfeeding, and then through other foods. These provide key nutrients to support a child’s visual health, such as the following.
- Vitamins A, C, and E
- Lutein and zeaxanthin
These nutrients predominate in a wide variety of vegetables and fruits, the adequate consumption of which promotes eye health in young and older children.
Know the plant foods that ensure good visual health in children
We know that vegetables provide flavors, aromas, and colors in food. Many of the pigments they contain represent some fundamental nutrients, such as vitamin A, lutein, zeaxanthin, and anthocyanins.
1. Carrots, pumpkins, and orange and yellow fruits and vegetables
Pumpkins, carrots, mango, melon, peppers, and sweet potato, among others, provide yellow or orange beta-carotene, which is converted into vitamin A.
According to the journal Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, vitamin A deficiency is the leading cause of preventable blindness in young children in developing countries. It’s essential for good retinal function, as well as for maintaining the health of the superficial layers of the eye, i.e., the cornea and conjunctiva.
2. Leafy greens, corn, and fruits
Leafy greens, such as spinach, kale, collards, Swiss chard, watercress, and lettuce, among others, as well as yellow corn, contain lutein and zeaxanthin. These are two types of carotenoids essential for retinal health. They have a strong antioxidant effect and are responsible for absorbing high-energy blue light and ultraviolet light. In that way, they act as natural filters and protect against oxidative damage to the retina.
The journal Nutrients comments that these nutrients increase the density of optical pigment in the macula. This is the center of the retina and responsible for high-resolution vision. They also reduce headaches, eye fatigue, and tension. In addition, other vegetables, such as kiwi and zucchini, contain lutein, while melon and orange provide zeaxanthin.
3. Fruits and vegetables, sources of vitamin C
There are several fruits and vegetables that provide vitamin C, which works as a powerful antioxidant recommended to reduce eye pressure. In addition, it helps in the synthesis of collagen, which is part of several structures of the eye. Among the best sources of this vitamin are strawberries, kiwi, guava, citrus fruits, and papaya. Also, peppers, brussels sprouts, kale, and spinach contain it in good quantity.
For these foods to have a greater antioxidant effect, fresh fruits should be prepared in salads or whole. Juices are also recommended, but they should be consumed almost immediately. In addition, vegetables should not be exposed to very high heat, because up to 90% of vitamin C can be lost.
4. Avocado, nuts, and seeds
The journal Hospital Nutrition states that vitamin E also has antioxidant activity for eye health. Therefore, it helps maintain the integrity of the crystalline lens and prevents oxidative damage to the retina. Almonds, pine nuts, hazelnuts, walnuts, sunflower seeds, wheat germ, and avocadoes are excellent sources of alpha-tocopherol or vitamin E.
Moreover, nuts and seeds, such as chia and flax seeds, also contain omega-3 fatty acid, docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA, which help promote good vision.
Legumes, such as chickpeas, beans and lentils, among others, provide zinc, and selenium. Zinc works together with vitamin A in the visual center of the retina. Selenium works as an antioxidant and aids in the absorption of vitamin E. Seeds, such as sunflower, sesame, and pumpkin, are also good sources of these minerals.
6. Red, blue, and purple fruits and vegetables
Anthocyanins are a type of polyphenols that have great antioxidant power and act, along with vitamins A and E, to protect vision. They’re characterized by their intense blue, purple, and red colors. They include grapes, pomegranates, blueberries, cherries, strawberries, raspberries, and black plums. Vegetables include onions, cabbage and purple sweet potatoes.
A varied, colorful, and fun diet
Vegetables and fruits play an important role as a source of nutrients that have positive effects on children’s vision. This requires a varied and colorful diet. The FAO/WHO School Nutrition Manual recommends 3 servings of fruits daily and 2 servings of vegetables per day.
Foods such as carrots, squash, mango, melon, strawberries, blueberries, purple grapes, avocado, broccoli, purple onions, eggplant, nuts, and seeds are key. In addition, make these vegetables fun and delicious for the palate of the children.
For example, you can offer a fruit and vegetable smoothie that includes spinach, strawberry, and mango. This drink will provide vitamin C, anthocyanins, vitamin A, lutein, and zeaxanthin to maintain good visual health.It might interest you...

Battle Creek mayor, vice mayor to be elected tonight
The fight for who will be Battle Creek mayor takes place in City Hall tonight.
City commissioners will hold their annual organizational meeting at 7:30 p.m., when they are expected to cast votes for mayor and vice mayor. Commissioners serve two-year terms, but they elect among themselves a mayor and a vice mayor on an annual basis.
Mayor Dave Walters, who was elected last year, said he'd like another term. But he will likely face opposition for the seat from Vice Mayor Deb Owens, who said Walters has failed to communicate well with commissioners over the past year and is interested in taking over the position.
And with Commissioner Susan Baldwin not expected to attend the meeting, it could be a long night, as there's potential for tie votes among the eight commissioners.
Enquirer reporter Jennifer Bowman will cover the meeting and will be live-tweeting at @jenn_bowman.
The commission will also hold a regular meeting after electing a mayor and vice mayor. Here is the agenda:
Call Jennifer Bowman at 966-0589. Follow her on Twitter: @jenn_bowman

The Paris Secret by Karen Swan
Not every door should be opened . . .
With stunning locations and page-turning tension, The Paris Secret is an intense and gripping tale from bestselling author Karen Swan.
Somewhere along the cobbled streets of Paris, an apartment lies thick with dust and secrets: full of priceless artworks hidden away for decades.
High-flying fine art agent Flora from London, more comfortable with the tension of a million-pound auction than a cosy candlelit dinner for two, is called in to assess these suddenly discovered treasures. As an expert in her field, she must trace the history of each painting and discover who has concealed them for so long.
Thrown in amongst the glamorous Vermeil family as they move between Paris and Antibes, Flora begins to discover that things aren't all that they seem, while back at home her own family is recoiling from a seismic shock. The terse and brooding Xavier Vermeil seems intent on forcing Flora out of his family's affairs - but just what is he hiding?
I gave this a very solid 8/10 or 4 stars. My thanks to the Publishers and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this story in exchange for an honest review.
I was drawn to the cover on this story when I saw it on NetGalley. I have at least one other Karen Swan book on my TBR pile, this was the first time I have read her work though.
When I first started reading the story, I actually thought I'd read it before as I'd recently read another story set in and around the forgotten Paris apartment. The only similarity between the two stories was the apartment. Whilst this one centres around the priceless artwork contained within the flat, the other one, The Paris Time Capsule by Ella Carey deals with the property itself rather than the contents.
I enjoyed this story that was predominantly about Flora, the art expert and Xavier, the son of the family who own the apartment. From early on in the story I could tell their was an attraction of sorts between the two.
Whilst, the family were aware that they owned the apartment. The family didn't appear to realise what the apartment contained. As Flora, is employed to find out the provenance of the art within the apartment, the reader realises that the art might not have come into the families hands through completely legitimate means.
As this begins to dawn on the family, we find out what impact this had on the family members and how they cope with the added pressure that this brings to their already slightly dysfunctional family. No family is perfect and the Vermeil family, have plenty of secrets in their closets.
Well written, I found this a great fictional read that has been woven around a real event, finding the locked apartment in Paris, that had remained undisturbed for decades.

I heard an interview on the radio a couple of days ago. A local disc jockey was talking to a comedian that was performing in town and asked her if she hung out with other comedians. She said, "You know, comedians don't really like to hang out with other comedians. We're not funny offstage...we're all damaged. We're the dented cans."
And that made me laugh out loud. Because we're all dented cans to some extent. What a great analogy.

This building forms the headquarters for the Dunnes Stores chain and is a 4 storey building over double basement.
The brief for the design and construction of the building included an early completion date and strict budget guidelines while working around a listed building.
O’Connor Sutton Cronin, in conjunction with the Architect and Services Engineer, prioritized the optimization of the floor space on site which was confined by high rock levels in the ground and height restrictions above ground. To optimize the floor space an 8m x 9m grid system and floor slab depth of 350mm was decided on. The construction system proposed by O’Connor Sutton Cronin utilised 100mm deep precast wide slabs with a 100mm concrete topping spanning between reinforced concrete wide beams. This system is similar to a flat slab, however it greatly reduces the amount of formwork and temporary propping required during construction.
On this project, the system reduced the time spent by the contractor in pouring equivalent floor areas, thus enabling a tighter programme.The frame utilises RC beams and columns with PC floors. The building is enhanced by feature decorative Lasticover PC glass.

PRINCETON, WV (WVNS) – A family wants to bring awareness to the genetic disease that has affected multiple loved ones. Their goal is to ‘scare away breast cancer’.
Christy Wood was diagnosed with breast cancer after her mother and sister shared the same diagnosis. Now as a survivor, the family wishes to raise awareness to this disease and become a safe haven to fellow fighters.
The Christy Wood Team at Solutions Real Estate is hosting the ‘Scare Away Breast Cancer’ 5k run and walk. All proceeds of this event will benefit the Princeton Community Hospital Foundation Cancer Care Fund.
“Our goal is to make cancer a little bit easier on all the patients that come to us. 100 percent of the funds that are donated to us go back out into the community,” said Crystal Mabe, the Princeton Community Hospital Foundation.
Wood and her family have been each other’s support through these difficult times of remission.
Cathy Clark, another organizer and sister of Christy Wood, added that this is not only a fundraising event, but a chance for survivors to connect, or reconnect, with a support group.
“At the race, you just meet so many people that have went through what you are going through, or may have gone through, or know someone that has went through it. It just brings all these people together,” said Clark.
The event will be held on October 29th at 1 p.m. and will be held at the Princeton Senior High School.

Dr. Hovden, a 1981 graduate of the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry, is currently in private practice in Daly City, California. Dr. Hovden has studied with many of the leading educators in the dental field. These include Dr. Peter Dawson, Dr. Mark Piper, Dr. David Hornbrook, Dr. Frank Spear, Dr. John Kois, Dr. Newton Fahl, Dr. Pascal Magne, Dr. Keith Phillips, Dr. Dennis Tarnow and Dr. Steve Buchanon.
He maintains a faculty position at UOP in the department of Endodontics along with a teaching position at IDEA, where he teaches an “Introduction to the Microscope for the General Practitioner” course and “co-teaches” an implant/restorative program with Dr. Bob Lamb.
Dr. Hovden is also the Director and founder of Bay Area Aesthetic Masters, a Bay Area Study Club with over 40 members dedicated to enhancing their member’s knowledge and enjoyment of aesthetic restorative dentistry.
He is a former clinical mentor of the Hornbrook Group where he taught advanced restorative dentistry. He is now a visiting faculty member of the Spear Institute in Scottsdale, Arizona where he teaches in the live patient program.
Dr. Hovden introduced the surgical microscope to his office over fourteen years ago and added his second microscope almost nine years ago. He has incorporated their use into his comprehensive restorative practice.
Enjoyed the microscope class. Ken Hovden (instructor) very "down to earth". Ken is well versed in using the scope as well as other areas of dentistry which he included in his instruction of the class. The facility at IDEA is ideal for maximum learning.
A very good introduction to use of a surgical microscope in general dentistry. If you are looking to incorporate a microscope into your practice, this is a course for you.
I find the course work and objective applicable to real world dentistry. Connecting the dots of "how" and "why" has dossed many dentists since dental school. IDEA has closed this disconnect and allowed us to return triumphantly to our patients ready for whatever challenges that may come our way. Thank you.
Dr. Hovden has a very pleasant and approachable way of teaching. His course on the surgical microscope was extremely helpful. He provided numerous suggestions on how to improve our views and prep techniques. I thoroughly enjoyed the class.
Terrific instructor and course format! The instructor brought the attendees from zero to being able to do procedures confidently and efficient on Monday. Excellent introduction to the microscope. The course more than met my expectations.

The soundscape is dreamy, plus you’ll be able to look at the stars even if it’s not dark yet and can scan each astrological constellation in real time. Position their chair to the west so that when you scan their way you’ll see Cancer – a perfect opportunity to convince them they’re in their feelings. I usually posts how tos and general knowledge and advice posts but this one is more focused on my own witchy life.In this iteration of the Divine Feminine you’re more likely to find a tenderwitch or a spacecrone and less likely to identify one based on appearance alone, but what has stayed consistent through time are its basic principles, symbols and rituals, as well as the guarantee that someone who aligns themselves with it are going to be super hot. Dating someone who identifies as a witch will probably ruin your life in terms of a bar being raised so high that in the aftermath it’ll be continually out of arm’s reach, but in the meantime I think you should go for it!And luckily for us they have a long standing written and oral history from which to draw inspiration.Give them the gift of never losing their keys again by fastening a full size votive candle to their chain. If you pick them up take four lefts before starting your drive.Tell them you want to play Yahtzee (a scenario they’ve never wanted to find themselves in) but then replace the dice with runes. Only do things like going to the skating rink or sitting around a fountain.
Chances are you know someone (probably queer) who identifies as a witch, and it’s a term/accompanying aesthetic that’s gotten a bit of a makeover since — and only a specific subset of people will remember this — the 90s.
I am also a writer of fiction but even I get a little odd when I see “I need to write this book” as if there is some divine force leading them.
Probably because I worked in one of the Incoming divisions at the Library of Congress, where I saw many, many crappy books by people “compelled” to write that I can’t help but to go “oh, great, another one.” And I have rarely seen good works that focus on witchcraft, especially by folks who know jack all about it.
At the coffee shop like: If that’s not your sign figure out how for it to be your sign. When you’re making them dinner roll out your homemade pizza dough with a votive candle.
If they seem tense and things have progressed consensually, massage their shoulders by rolling over them with a votive candle.
Search for witchy dating:
It would really helpful, if he postpones his marriage for few months at least and thinks about his feelings for me and proposes me instead.

Pearl City Newborn Photography Session | Teagan
I just photographed the most stunning newborn little girl. Tegan and her parents came into the studio for the newborn session. I couldn't believe how much hair this little girl had.
Tegan and her parents weren't able to join me in studio until she was almost a month old. Her mom was a little concerned about her age, but I reassured her that we could get some good pictures still.
Families do not alway choose to add family images to their session, but I'm always so happy when they do. Look how beautiful this family it.
Here are some final images of this beautiful little girl. I sure hope she comes back for her 6 month and year photos. I love watching them grow.

Our Homeowners Are Our Priority
Welcome to Sheffield HOA
The Sheffield Community is comprised of Single Family and Townhomes. All these homes are members of the Sheffield Recreation Association (SRA) but only the 89 townhomes located on Sheffield Village Lane and Stana Court are part of the Sheffield Homeowners Association (SHOA or HOA).
Know More About The
Noise Ordinance Law
Fairfax County residents and businesses are reminded that they must comply with the county's noise ordinance and are encouraged to report any violations that directly affect them.
The ordinance promotes an environment for county citizens free from noise that jeopardizes their health or welfare or degrades their quality of life.
The Board established this website to provide neighbors, residents, and visitors with important information about our community. The site can also be used as a single point of information for our everyday life.


Nearly three weeks after state prosecutors charged Robert Kugler with corruption and conspiracy charges, Bergen County Republicans tonight picked him as their candidate for Sheriff.
He defeated Harry Shortway Jr., the 83-year-old Midland Park mayor, by a vote of 269-98, 73%-27%.
Kugler, who was relieved of his post as Saddle Brook police chief after being charged, is accused of ordering police escorts for a funeral home that he owns.
Bergen Republicans also picked Bridget Kelly, who served as deputy chief of staff to Gov. Chris Christie in 2013. Although Kelly ran unopposed, 13% of the Bergen Republican county committee did not vote for her.
In the race for governor, Jack Ciattarelli easily won the Bergen GOP organization line. He defeated perennial candidate Hirsh Singh by a 336-25 vote, 91%-7%, with 6 votes for Brian D. Levine, a former Franklin mayor and Somerset County freeholder.
Three candidates competed for two seats on the Bergen County Board of Commissioners, with Dr. Ronald Lin (302) and Bergen County Young Republicans Vice Chairman Tim Walsh (272) defeated Joseph Viso (82), an electrician and firefighter from Carlstadt.
Former Cresskill Councilwoman Simone Signounis was unopposed in her bid as the GOP candidate for Bergen County Surrogate.
Kugler mounted a campaign for the Democratic nomination for sheriff after Michael Saudino resigned in 2018 but lost the convention by a wide margin to the party choice, Anthony Cureton. He ran as an independent, winning 13,203 votes (4%) countywide.
He became a Republican in 2019.
Prosecutors allege that the Kugler Funeral Home did not reimburse he municipality for any costs incurred and said the use of police vehicles is in violation of a township ordinance.

As a writer, I understand the significance of cultural influences on child development and identity formation.
Did you know that according to recent research, cultural environments shape a child’s sense of self, values, and social roles?
It’s fascinating how cultural influences play a vital role in shaping identity and providing a framework for understanding one’s identity.
In this article, we will delve into the impact of cultural beliefs and values, socialization, cultural diversity, and gender identity on a child’s development.
Let’s explore how these factors shape their identity and promote healthy child development.
- Cultural environments play a significant role in shaping a child’s sense of self and values.
- Cultural influences provide a framework for understanding identity formation.
- Cultural environments affect social roles and beliefs, influencing a child’s development.
- Cultural influences have a lasting impact on the formation of a child’s identity.
The Role of Cultural Beliefs and Values in Identity Formation
I believe that cultural beliefs and values play a significant role in shaping our identity formation.
Cultural practices and rituals are essential elements that contribute to our sense of self and help us understand who we are in relation to our cultural heritage.
These practices and rituals provide a framework for identity construction and help us navigate through life’s challenges.
Additionally, cultural influences have a profound impact on our identity crisis. When we are faced with questions about our identity, cultural beliefs and values can serve as guiding principles that help us find meaning and purpose in our lives.
They provide a sense of belonging and help us make sense of the world around us.
Therefore, it is crucial to recognize and appreciate the cultural influences that shape our identity formation and contribute to our overall well-being.
Cultural Influences on Socialization and Peer Relationships
Peer relationships play a crucial role in shaping socialization and the development of a child’s sense of self. Cultural influences have a significant impact on how children socialize and form relationships with their peers.
Cultural norms, values, and beliefs shape the expectations and behaviors within peer groups. These cultural influences can determine the types of relationships that are valued and encouraged, as well as the rules and dynamics within these relationships.
For example, in some cultures, collectivism is emphasized, and children are encouraged to prioritize group harmony and cooperation over individual needs. In other cultures, individualism is valued, and children are encouraged to express their own opinions and assert their independence.
Understanding cultural influences on socialization and peer relationships is essential for supporting children’s development and promoting positive peer interactions.
Cultural Diversity and Its Impact on Child Development
Cultural diversity shapes the way children grow and learn about the world around them. It plays a crucial role in their development, influencing their understanding of self, others, and their place in society. Here are three ways cultural diversity impacts child development:
Cultural assimilation: Children exposed to diverse cultures learn to navigate different belief systems, values, and traditions. This exposure fosters adaptability and open-mindedness, enabling them to embrace diversity and form meaningful connections with people from various backgrounds.
Multicultural education: Incorporating multicultural perspectives in education promotes inclusivity and cultivates empathy. It helps children appreciate different cultures, languages, and traditions, fostering respect and understanding. By learning about diverse worldviews, children gain a broader perspective and become global citizens who value cultural diversity.
Identity development: Cultural diversity influences a child’s sense of identity. Exposure to different cultures allows them to explore and integrate various aspects of their own cultural heritage, leading to a more complex and multifaceted sense of self.
Understanding and embracing cultural diversity in child development is essential for creating a more inclusive and harmonious society.
Cultural Influences on Gender Identity and Expression
Growing up, I observed how societal norms and expectations shape the way individuals express their gender. Cultural stereotypes play a significant role in gender identity formation, influencing how we perceive and understand ourselves in relation to societal expectations.
These stereotypes create rigid ideas about what it means to be masculine or feminine, often limiting the range of expression and behavior that is considered acceptable for each gender. Moreover, cultural norms dictate how individuals should express their gender, often reinforcing binary notions of male and female.
These norms can be restrictive and harmful, as they fail to acknowledge the diversity and fluidity of gender identities. It is important to challenge cultural stereotypes and norms, promoting a more inclusive and accepting environment that allows individuals to express their gender in authentic and diverse ways.
Exploring Cultural Identity and Self-Concept Development
When reflecting on my own experiences, I have found that exploring and understanding my cultural background has played a significant role in shaping my sense of self and how I view the world.
Cultural identity and mental health are deeply intertwined, as our cultural background provides us with a sense of belonging, purpose, and meaning. It helps us navigate through life’s challenges and find support within our community.
Additionally, cultural influences have a direct impact on our self-esteem. When we are able to connect with and embrace our cultural heritage, it enhances our self-esteem by validating our identities and giving us a sense of pride. On the other hand, when we feel disconnected or marginalized from our culture, it can negatively impact our self-esteem.
Therefore, understanding and embracing our cultural identity is essential for our mental well-being and overall sense of self.

Woman Sentenced To 70 Months In Prison
For Immediate Release
U.S. Attorney's Office, Northern District of Indiana
For Identity Theft And Bank Fraud
FORT WAYNE – Valentina Marinkovic, age 19, of Baltimore, Maryland was sentenced before U.S. District Court Judge Damon R. Leichty upon her plea of guilty on a count of bank fraud and three counts of aggravated identity theft, announced U.S. Attorney Kirsch.
Marinkovic was sentenced to 70 months in prison followed by 2 years of supervised release, and ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $78,120.73.
According to documents in the case, on or about August 5, and continuing until on or about October 1, 2018, Marinkovic executed a scheme to defraud a federally insured financial institution. Law enforcement had been investigating several reports of skimming devices being placed on bank and credit union ATMS as well as gas station credit card readers at gas pumps. Skimming devices capture and store credit and debit card numbers of unsuspecting victims. The device is subsequently removed and the information from the skimming device is used to produce fraudulent credit/debit cards for unauthorized transactions.
In this case, a credit union was victimized by having to reimburse members for losses exceeding $78,000.
This case was investigated by the FBI, the Indiana State Police Organized Crime and Corruption Unit along with the Elkhart Police Department. This case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Stacey Speith.

[tea photo: Jodi Pudge]
Covet Garden readers are already familiar with east end tea shop Steeped and Infused from our December issue. In that story, owner Jennifer Best welcomed us to a tea-leaf reading. But the store has taught us many other things, including how to appreciate the many varieties of fine brews.
[photograph by Maya Visnyei]
Steeped and Infused places a lot of emphasis on educating customers about tea. Each blend comes with a story about its origins, ingedients and benefits it might have. Best approaches her collection of loose leaf teas the same way a sommelier selects a fine wine — choosing varieties based on growing regions, seasonal variations and, of course, delicious flavour.
To further foster a community of tea connoiseurs, Steeped and Infused also hosts tea-focused events, including in-store yoga classes and culinary tours. You can also visit Best's blog archive for entries on tea, health and wellness.


Frontline social care workers are paid nearly £7,000 less per year than their peers in equivalent positions in other public funded sectors, a new report has uncovered.
The Unfair To Care report, published by Community Integrated Care, found support workers are being 'undervalued' by as much as 39%.
The analysis found the average pay for support workers in England is £9.05 per hour, while other roles with equivalent scope, complexity and accountability within other public funded sectors are, on average, paid at £24,602.
The average take home pay for equivalent jobs in the NHS is £25,142, so the report warns many social care workers would need a 42% pay rise to have parity with their NHS peers.
Mark Adams, CEO of Community Integrated Care, said: 'The moral case for investment in social care and its workforce has, sadly, been ignored for years. This research now provides cold hard facts, which surely cannot be ignored by the Government. Our research proves that in other related sectors, many frontline support workers would be getting paid at least £6,907 more per year, and almost £7,500 within the NHS. This is immoral, illogical, and cannot be justified.
'This is a significant challenge, but it can be fixed – firstly, by recognising the £46bn contribution that social care makes to the UK economy annually, and also delivering progressive reforms that improve efficiency and quality of live through delivering joined-up services, reducing the burden on family carers and embracing innovations. All evidence points to overwhelming public support for investment in the sector. This is an issue of strategy and focus, not of possibility.'
The report calls on the Government to give an immediate pay rise to all frontline social care workers and urgently implement a social care workforce strategy.

Nice Pairing, but Nothing Else Going for It
Melissa Joan has starred in some of my favorite Hallmark type movies. This one wasn’t bad, but it is not going down as a favorite. The main appeal of this one was the pairing with Jason Priestly. They made a good match, and his character was appealing. On the negative side, there wasn’t much to the plot. She is driving home for Christmas, when, near her destination, she has a flat tire. She is rescued by “Mr. Christmas” who looks vaguely familiar. She keeps meeting him and they like each other. Like like. He tells her that they were in 8th grade together but she still doesn’t remember him. She finally remembers him when she finds her childhood diary and finds out he was a big crush of hers.
Melissa shines in playing goofy quirky, somewhat hapless characters and the script did not take advantage of her comic talents. But maybe she’s getting a little too “mature” for anything other than stock Hallmark heroines with no personality other than being nice and pleasant. The hook on this story was disappointing. It is unbelievable that the character would not remember an 8th grade crush. Even if he was one in a very lo-o-o-o-o-n-g line. I’ll say no more on that. Something more could have been made of discovering him as being an entry in a diary. Other than he was one of her many crushes and she drew stars around his name. Did not seem to be a firm foundation on which to decide to commit to marriage. Maybe a special memory triggered? But she would have remembered him! Or maybe the got hit on the head trope could have figured in here some where. Oh well. I give up.

The Stone Blanket is our lightest yet most durable, versatile blanket. Perfect for everything from a couch nap to a weekend camping trip to an afternoon at the park, the Stone blanket is strong enough to handle it all, and soft enough to make each activity feel luxurious.
Every Stone blanket undergoes a stone washing process, giving each one a unique, rustic look. Given that Turkish cotton softens over time, stone washing also means these blankets arrive feeling incredibly soft. If you’re wondering what exactly this blanket feels like, just think about that 100% cotton flannel that your dad had for decades. It’s like that.
The "Stone Blanket In Ice" is very nice. Love the color and the material, it has a nice tight weave that feels very well made and doesn't let sand get clogged up in the fabric. Very comfortable to lay under on the couch, not too hot, just warm enough and lightweight. Nicely sized so I don't have to keep my legs pulled up to keep my feet under it. Will be buying more blankets and towels.

Pending Fall River City Council vote, Bedford Street police station could again be put up for sale
FALL RIVER — If the City Council approves the plan, the long-abandoned Bedford Street police station could be on the market for sale — again.
City Administrator Cathy Ann Viveiros said she has requested the City Council Committee on Real Estate take up the matter, decide how the administration should proceed and state their hopes for the future of the nearly 100-year-old, four-story structure. The station is reportedly highly contaminated with mold, asbestos and layers of fuel oil in the building and underground.
Should the City Council approve the plan, it would be the third time in seven years the city has attempted to sell the property, and the second time since Mayor Will Flanagan entered office.
The old police station is a “uniquely situated” property in the city, Flanagan said.
“It has the potential to be developed in a way that could greatly benefit our city’s downtown,” Flanagan said. “Therefore, our administration will work with the City Council to advertise for the sale of the former Fall River police station.”
Asked how he would like to see the property developed, Flanagan said he would support anything that benefited the city.
On Aug. 26, Viveiros said she conducted a walk-through in the building with Joseph Biszko, the city building inspector; Kenneth Pacheco, director of community maintenance; and Byron Holmes, the city engineer.
The building has significant water damage and dilapidated flooring, but Viveiros said the initial assessment is likely that building is likely structurally sound.
Last summer, the city hired an engineering group to conduct a Phase 1 evaluation to determine the nature of the contamination, Viveiros said.
Viveiros said the administration and the council will have to decide how to proceed with selling the building, whether through a request for proposal with conditions on how the property would be developed or through an auction process. They will also have to decide whether the city should take on the cleanup of the contamination before it goes out to sale.
Even if the property is demolished, cleanup will have to be completed first, Viverios said.
The city’s attempts to unload the dilapidated downtown building has been a comedy of errors involving some allegedly shady players.
The building was taken back through tax title in 2012 from its Florida owner, who owed over $60,000 in back taxes. The city contracted with the Fall River Redevelopment Authority to sell the police station, along with the Abbey Grill on Rock Street. The later has since been sold to Andrew Lombardi of Cranston, Rhode Island, who is renovating the large former church.
The latest attempt to sell the police station was to lone bidder and Flanagan supporter Joseph Ruggiero Sr., of Barrington, Rhode Island, with the minimum bid of $60,360 in May 2013. Ruggiero originally planned to knock it down and build a parking lot or parking garage on the 1/3-acre site. Flanagan indicated at the time that a $400,000 federal Environmental Protection Agency grant would be used to fund the cleanup.
The deal never materialized after Ruggiero failed to follow through on the sale with the Redevelopment Authority, and the administration learned it couldn’t use the EPA grant to remediate the building because the city was the polluter.
Under the first sale attempt in 2007, the police station was to be sold to well-known local developer Anthony Cordeiro. But the City Council changed its mind and sold it to former city resident and a Florida real estate developer John M. Pavao for $160,000.
Then things got strange, and the principals in the property deal ending up in prison.
John Pavao tried to “flip” the police station a month after the purchase for $695,000, then got involved in an inside deal that enable Pavao’s JPS Investments Group Inc. of Ocoee, Florida, to transfer the property to Superior International Investments Corp., headed by Pedro “Pete” Benevides, a former Fall River resident.
Benevides sold the building in June 2008 for $1.28 million to Casper Holdings LLC in Winter Garden, Florida, owned by Steve Brueggeman who later gave up the building for back taxes to the city.
Pavao, in an alleged multimillion real estate fraud scheme that involved other family members, was convicted and sent to prison, and Benevides was arrested on federal charges of distributing cocaine and money laundering — charges he beat.
But according to the Associated Press, Benevides pleaded guilty in July to a $44 million bank fraud conspiracy in Florida federal court.
Prosecutors say Benevides obtained 20 loans and lines of credit worth $44 million from several federally insured institutions.
He faces a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison.


Subsurface crack investigation on delaminated ceramic elements
Authors: Hadfield, M., Tobe, S. and Stolarski, T.A.
Journal: Tribology International
This paper presents an experimental investigation of subsurface cracks on delamination fatigue failure of ceramic rolling elements. Three failure cases are considered on hot isostatically pressed silicon nitride surfaces. These cases consist of two failures from ceramic/ceramic contact and one from pre-cracked ceramic/bearing steel contact. The extent of subsurface crack length and depth is investigated using a dye penetration method and acoustic microscopy. Quantitative measurements of subsurface crack shapes, depths and lenghts are presented. The information from this study relates to the fatigue failure modes. © 1994.

J.J. Cook writes award-winning, bestselling mystery fiction as themselves, Joyce and Jim Lavene, and Ellie Grant. They have written and published more than 70 novels for Harlequin, Berkley, Amazon, and Gallery Books along with hundreds of non-fiction articles for national and regional publications. They live in rural North Carolina with their family. And I am very pleased that Joyce is here today to tell us about the research they for the book. (Be sure to leave a comment for a chance to win a copy of the book.) Welcome Joyce.
Doing research for the Biscuit Bowl Food Truck Mysteries was both delicious, and amazing. We spent time with several food truck owners, shadowing them through their days. It’s incredible what they can do in such small spaces.
Food truck drivers get up early for the best spots. Getting there first can mean the difference between a good sales day, and a day where you don’t break even. So most people get up at four or five a.m. They usually get some of the food ready in a stationary kitchen before they leave for the day, like Zoe bakes her biscuits before she leaves her diner.
Inside a food truck, everything is very compact. Owners have to know where each item is so they can find it quickly and easily. They know they can be checked at any time by health inspectors so they have to be very careful with their refrigerators and cooking utensils. Sometimes the space in a food truck is at a premium, especially when there is more than one person working in the kitchen.
Most food trucks pick specific menus for each day. They don’t have enough space to change the food they’re making. If the menu says chicken salad, that’s probably what you’re going to get. But because they are only making chicken salad – wow! It’s the best!
Zoe picks one or two types of savory fillings for her biscuit bowls each day, and one or two types of sweet fillings. She can’t make exceptions because that’s all she has with her. Her biscuits are deep-fried and kept warm, but only in small batches. They will go soft quickly. She usually only carries one type of drink.
We tried to pattern Zoe and her Biscuit Bowl food truck on real-life food truck owners. Of course, Zoe’s life is fiction, so sometimes that shows up. We didn’t meet any food truck drivers that had large cats like Crème Brulee with them when they went out – although we did meet a few foodies who brought dogs with them.
Zoe is a hard worker, as are the food truck operators we met. For many of them, they are hopeful that their food truck is a stepping-stone to a restaurant. Not all feel that way. Many are just happy following their dreams, working for themselves with their favorite food.
Death on Eat Street (Biscuit Bowl Food Truck)
BRAND NEW SERIES
Series: Biscuit Bowl Food Truck (Book 1)
Mass Market Paperback: 304 pages
Publisher: Berkley (April 1, 2014)
E-Book ASIN: B00F9EZAUW
Zoe Chase always wanted to own her own restaurant—but first, she’ll have to serve up a heaping helping of meals on wheels, with a side of mystery. When she’s once again passed over for a promotion at work, Zoe decides to take the big leap and go for her dream. She quits, gives up her fancy digs, and buys a fixer-upper diner in a shady part of town. To keep above water during the renovation, she buys a used food truck to serve the downtown and waterfront of Mobile, Alabama. Zoe starts to dish out classic Southern food—but her specialty is her deep-fried biscuit bowls that blow traditional bread bowls away. After a promising start, things start to go downhill faster than a food truck without brakes. First, someone tries to rob the cash register. Next, Zoe is threatened by the owner of a competing food truck for taking their spot. And when the owner ends up dead inside Zoe’s rolling restaurant, Zoe and her sole employee, Ollie, find themselves hopping out of the frying pan into the fryer. They need to find the real killer, before both of them get burned.
I have only one complaint about this book. Well, two. It is going to cost me time and money. Time experimenting making biscuit bowls and money for the groceries. Oh yeah, there is a third thing. Listening to my husband complain about how good they are so please stop making them or he will have to spend half the day in the gym. In other words, I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! And my husband loves biscuit bowls. As a fan in real life of food trucks, I knew they would soon become part of a cozy series. And what a great start this food truck mystery is off to. Zoe is an appealing character. And all the secondary characters are interesting and you know you will want to see them all again. Most of all, it was a good mystery. I thought I had guessed the killer (and a pretty good twist if I do say so) but alas, or gladly, I was wrong. Bigger, better twist and better ending. From the wonderful cover to the recipe at the end, this is a solid ♥♥♥♥♥ and I can’t wait for the next in this new series.

A Book Excerpt
It hadn’t been more than thirty minutes or so since I’d climbed out of the food truck. How did Terry get there after me? And what was he doing here? Had he followed me back to give me more grief over parking in “his spot” on Dauphin Street?
“What’s up out here, young ’un?” Ollie came out of the diner, still holding the sword.
“I don’t know. This is Terry.”
He nodded. “From the infamous tacky taco truck?”
“Yes. I don’t know what he’s doing here. I think he may be drunk or something.”
Ollie bent down and put his hand on Terry’s neck. “I don’t know either, but he ain’t goin’ no place else.”
“What do you mean? I can call him a taxi or something.”
“No, Zoe. You don’t get it. The man’s dead. A taxi won’t do him any good now.”
Dead? That made even less sense to me. Maybe I was too tired to think straight.
Why was Terry—alive or dead—in my food truck?
“We gotta hide him somewhere.” Ollie glanced around. “We gotta get rid of him before someone sees him here.”
“We can’t do that. We should call the police. That’s what you do when you find a dead body.”
“Oh? ’Cause you’ve got so much experience finding dead people?” He chuckled. “You better believe me, Zoe. You think you got trouble now, tell the police there’s a dead man in your food truck. You’ll be in for a heap more trouble.”
I knew he was wrong. If something had happened to Terry, regardless of how he got into the Biscuit Bowl, the police needed to be informed. If there was one thing I knew besides cooking, it was the law.
My mother was one of the most prominent attorneys in Mobile. There was even some talk of her getting a judgeship. She’d fed me the law with my pureed carrots and pears when I was a baby. She’d hoped I was going to follow in her footsteps someday.
I was kind of a disappointment in that area.
I took out my cell phone. “I’m sorry, Ollie. I have to call. If you’re worried about being here, you should go to back to the shelter. I can handle this.”
“I ain’t worried about me, Zoe. It’s you I’m concerned for. What do you think the police will make of you having a dead man in your vehicle?”
I thought about it. “What can they make of it? I didn’t do anything. Someone must have put him here. Or he climbed in and died. I’ll be fine. Don’t worry.”
Famous last words.

I may be about to start an argument.
It’s been ages, but I remember posting something about eSports and the fact that people are beginning to view pro gamers as athletes. Of course this sparked a chaotic debate, and frankly, I don’t even remember what my opinion was on the matter.
But now with eSports escalating and becoming extremely popular, this is a subject that’s really starting to circulate. Should competitive gamers be considered athletes?
Call of Duty is having a massive tournament at the X-Games in Austin, a major feat which will accompany the several other extreme sports that have mesmerized people outside of the traditional sports events. It’s a fantastic step in terms of growing the presence of eSports, but it’s sparked quite a bit of controversy.
As someone who was raised with a background in sports, I find myself to be very torn. I’m a huge advocate of eSports. I enjoy viewing competitive games as a spectator and watching pro teams advance as reigning squads. I’ll even be covering Halo and Call of Duty games at Chattanooga’s local Iron Games event. However, I don’t view these gamers as athletes. At least in the traditional sense.
The games are competitive, yes. But I guess in terms of athleticism, it may be easier to classify it as more of a mental sport. Despite what people may say (particularly about games like Call of Duty), gaming on a competitive level requires a lot of brainstorming. There is a strategical way of thinking that can perfectly accompany the reflexes and response times.
Will MLG fit in well at the X-Games? Yes, because of the demographic that watches and follows the extreme sports events. But to classify this niche of video games as a sport seems a bit bizarre.
What do you guys think?

Former Minnepolis policeman Derek Chauvin has been convicted of George Floyd’s murder. The ex-cop- who had pressed his knee against George Floyd’s neck, that eventually led to his death, was finally found guilty on all three charges against him.
Following the verdict, Chauvin was handcuffed and taken into custody by the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office. The sentencing for the case will happen in eight weeks. Chauvin is expected to spend decades in prison.
As per a CNN report, Chauvin was transferred to Minnesota Correctional Facility- Oak Park Heights. After 10 hours of deliberations, a twelve member jury found Chauvin guilty of second-degree unintentional murder, third degree murder and second degree manslaughter.
Judge Peter Cahill announced the jury’s verdict at Hennepin County Government Center in Minneapolis. He thanked jury for their “heavy-duty service”, and announced the annulment of Chauvin’s bail.
President Joe Biden said that conviction of former police officer, Derek Chauvin was a “giant step forward for justice in America”, but he called on lawmakers to seize the moment and ensure that the legacy of Gerge Floyd was not his murder, but lasting police reform.
“I can’t breathe”
“Those were George Floyd’s last words. We cannot let them die with him. We have to keep hearing them. We must not turn away. We cannot turn away,” US President Joe Biden tweeted after former Minnepolis policeman Derek Chauvin was convicted of George Floyd’s murder.
Meanwhile, The White House had been bracing for possible violence alongwith the president and other members of the administration coordinating with the state and local officials in Minnestoa, had the verdict by the jury supported the aquital of Chauvin. Vice president Kamla Harris spoke alongside president and said that the case shows that the system needs to be “reformed”.
Earlier Biden had told Floyd’s family that he was relieved by conviction, and hoped that verdict would lead to broader change.

For the filling:
40g white chocolate, chopped
Icing sugar, for dusting
1tbsp seedless raspberry jam
1. You’ll need one 6cm heart- shaped cookie cutter, and another a little smaller. Lightly grease two baking sheets. Beat together the butter, sugar, vanilla and salt, then mix in the flour with a wooden spoon.
2.Form into a ball with your hands. If the dough is very soft, wrap in clingfilm and chill for 30 minutes.
3. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 2mm thick. Cut out 16 hearts using the large cookie cutter. Put 8 hearts on a baking sheet. Using the smaller cutter, cut out centres from the remaining hearts.
4.Transfer these heart- shaped rings to the other baking sheet. Chill for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 180oC
5. Bake the rings for 10- 12 minutes and the solid hearts for 13- 15 minutes, until lightly golden around the edges.
6. Leave to cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

8.Leave for 10- 20 minutes to cool and thicken slightly. Meanwhile, dust the cookie rings with icing sugar.
9. When the chocolate is cool, spread 1/2 tablespoon over each solid cookie, leaving a gap around the edge. Put 1/4 tea-spoon jam on top. Place the cookie rings on top and add a little extra jam in the middle if needed.
10.Chill for 10-20 minutes until the chocolate has set, then store in a cool place.
