Reed and Robertson Take Care Of One Of Their Own
A few months back I wrote a post about how when Bob McDonnell won a seat to the Virginia House of Delegates back back in 1991, Ralph Reed and the Christian Coalition cited that victory as proof of the effectiveness of their "guerrilla warfare" election strategy.
So that explains why Reed has been so active in Virginia now that McDonnell is seeking to become Virginia's Governor ... and also why Pat Robertson and his family have dumped tens of thousands of dollars into his campaign:
Republican gubernatorial nominee Bob McDonnell received a trio of last-minute donations totaling $40,000 from religious broadcaster Pat Robertson, his son and daughter-in-law.
Robertson contributed $25,000 on Oct. 20, according to the Virginia Public Access Project, a nonpartisan tracker of money in politics. His son, Tim, donated $5,000 Friday for in-kind services (listed as catering) and his wife, Lisa, donated $10,000 to McDonnell today.

Ta da! It's a foot. Accompanied by my clingy but well-behaved knitting partner, Winnie.
This is my second pair of socks and the first toe-up pair I've done. I'm using Wendy Johnson's pattern, with the help of her short row toe tutorial from Knitty. The Knitty piece was also helpful when working the heel as that's also short-rowed in this pattern.
I'm using Mission Falls 1824 wool on US4s at 5 1/2 sts to the inch. I've ribbed the top of the foot and am ready to start ribbing the leg. This is the style and weight my spousal-equivalent likes in his socks.
I'm not sure I got all of the wraps and turns done and picked up correctly in the heel.I had some trouble seeing and picking up the double wraps. Used a crochet hook most of the time to get the wraps onto the needle.
When I was done with the heel I ended up picking up 3 stitches on each side in the gap as I started back around the whole foot. I did one repeat of K2tog on each round as I did Grumperina's two inch trick of knitting a bit more plain stockinette to make the heel look tall enough. Made kind of a mini-gusset. Still, I have one small hole.
I got the measurements figured out for my cardigan, but I'm concentrating on the socks for my knitting time. I'm taking a class at So Much Yarn starting this Sunday. It's 2 socks at once, toe-up, on Magic loop. I think it will help to have a bit more basic sock experience going into that.

Coffs Harbour Airport welcomes the new QantasLink Airbus A220
Coffs Harbour Airport is set to welcome the new QantasLink Airbus A220 with flights set to commence from October. The new state of the art aircraft will operate between Coffs Harbour Airport and Melbourne which add more seats between the two destinations.
The A220 will offer passengers more choice and flexibility with 137 seats available per flight, including 10 Business class seats, with improved technology and a greater sense of space throughout the cabin.
Coffs Harbour Airport General Manager Frank Mondello said the new A220 would be a huge boost for the region.
“Qantas’ decision to introduce the new A220 aircraft for services between Coffs Harbour Airport and Melbourne is incredibly exciting for our region.” Mr Mondello said.
“It will mean a remarkable 71,000 seats available annually between the two destinations, a significant 20% increase on current capacity. This will undoubtedly have a positive impact on regional tourism and business.
“We have been working closely with our government partners and regional stakeholders to create new aviation and business opportunities for the region and we are grateful to Qantas for their on-going support.”
QantasLink CEO Rachel Yangoyan said the airline was thrilled these next-generation aircraft would be connecting regional cities across Australia.
“We’re excited that Coffs Harbour will be one of the first regional cities to have A220s from October,” said Ms Yangoyan.
“The A220 is more fuel efficient, quieter and offers improved comfort for our customers.
“This larger aircraft also means we’re able to add more seats to Coffs Harbour from later this year which is great news for local tourism.”
City of Coffs Harbour Mayor Cr Paul Amos said the announcement would supercharge the Coffs Coast, NSW’s first certified Eco-Tourist Destination.
“Together with our partners Agilis (operators of Coffs Harbour Airport), we welcome the extra capacity brought by the A220 service,” Cr Amos said.
“This is brilliant news for business people, tourists and Coffs Harbour residents who all stand to benefit from the increased connection to Melbourne.
“Coffs Harbour is the only regional airport on the Australian Mainland to be chosen for the A220 service so that speaks of a fast growing city going places.”[Ends]

Teenage Time Killers, the supergroup put together by Mick Murphy (My Ruin) and Reed Mullen (COC) is putting on a one-off all-star concert in Los Angeles on September 12th. Featuring many of the big names that make up each of the tracks ofGreatest Hits Vol 1, (Rise Records) taking the stage with Murphy and Mullen will be Randy Blythe, Corey Taylor, Neil Fallon, Lee Ving, Tommy Victor, Vic Bondi, Phil Rind, Ron Beam, Tony Foresta, Clifford Dinsmore, Tairrie B. Murphy, Jonny Webber, Greg Anderson, Pat “Atom Bomb” Loed, Karl Agell, and Trenton Rogers. Tickets are already on sale at this link:
Have you ever heard an album so good you thought it was made just for you? Like someone reached into the great boombox in your brain and pulled out just what you wanted to hear? Well, Greatest Hits Vol. 1 (Rise Records) by Teenage Time Killers is that album for me. If you have yearned for some new tunes to come along and kick your ass back to 1988, then this music is for you. Masterminded by Mick Murphy (My Ruin, and Reed Mullen (Corrosion of Conformity),the core band is rounded out by the ubiquitous Dave Grohl and chipping in everything except lead vocals and Greg Anderson (Sunn O)))/Goatsnake) and his mighty axe. In addition to a cavalcade of former and current stars from across punk and metal, it’s an ambitious attempt to turn the idea of a supergroup on its head.
Certainly, a lot of hype has gone on about the assembled players, especially the vocalists. If you re thinking of Grohl’s Probot project, you are not far off. That was Grohl paying tribute to his metal heroes. TTK is all about paying tribute to a certain mindset. An era when writing fun, smart songs that hit you where you live was the norm. Mullen has put his distinctive angry yelp on many C.O.C. albums and does a fine job here on the opening track ‘Exploder’ and on ‘The Dead Hand’. ‘Exploder’ is just a classic punk track with all the whoa-oh-ohs you can handle. Second track ‘Crowned by the Light of The Sun’ sounds like an early-era Clutch song and thus Neil Fallon is right at home singing over some stone grooves. The most blistering track here is the thrash/punk ‘Hung Out To Dry’. Randy Blythe (Lamb of God) just slays the track with his parts.
Following these first salvos the rest of the album is a tad uneven in a few places, but on repeated listens the entire thing holds together well. Jello Biafra is predictably pissed off in the too-short ‘Ode to Hannity’. ‘Barrio’ featuring Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio/Blink 182 has the second-best track on the album. It’s another fun old-school sing-a-long that is both fun and political. Mike IX (EyeHateGod), Tommy Victor (Prong/Danzig) and Tairrie B. Murphy (My Ruin) anchor the three of the remaining real standout tracks. While it’s great to have an album in 2015 with Lee Ving (Fear), Karl Agel (COC Blind/King Hitter) and Phil Rind (Sacred Reich) altogether, at times you wish the tracks were a little stronger. Although a little short of total greatness for all the meaningful names, Teenage Time Killers backed up having the stones to call this album Greatest Hits Vol 1.
Given how many of the fallen luminaries of the black/death/grind scenes have recently recaptured their former glories with a slew of successful comeback albums it was only logical that a big name from the South was going to get in on the act. With their line-up reading like a who’s who of classic stoner and doom outfits, the mighty Goatsnake have reformed after nearly a decade away with their classic line-up intact and ready to once more blend the rough with the smooth, which they do so with aplomb on third full-length Black Age Blues (Southern Lord).
Firmly rooted in Southern culture and boasting a strong Gospel influence that filters through the songs like light through stained glass windows, the members of Goatsnake may wear their hearts on their sleeves, but they are more interested in getting your hips shaking courtesy of the bulldozing riffs of guitarist Greg Anderson, whose day job is making people feel sick with Sunn 0))). The sonic waves are nowhere near as punishing as those emitted by that fearful outfit, but they certainly pack a punch. Opening track ‘Another River to Cross’ begins with the gentle sound of trickling water before a gigantic riff appears out of nowhere which the rhythm section instantly lock into for a stately march through the heat haze. Next track ‘Elevated Man’ is more upbeat, with elements of classic rock flaring up around the more standard stoner refrains, especially in the instantly hummable chorus.
The good-time vibes continue with ‘Coffee and Whisky’ which stomps along happily, aided by Anderson’s effortlessly shifting fuzzy riffs and another catchy chorus. The basic percussion adds to the frill-free atmosphere and all seems at ease until the power builds to a monstrously heavy level to close the song, indicating that the band are not interested in playing it safe. Things get even better on the pure NOLA-worshipping headbanger of the title track which the members of Eyehategod will surely be kicking themselves upon hearing for not thinking of it first. The sludge gets even thicker on ‘House of the Moon’ which sounds like it was grown in the New Orleans swamp and fed nothing but BBQ and liquor. The backing vocals from Dem Preacher’s Daughters give it a veneer of class, but not by much.
The band turn their attention away from genre lyrical tropes on the nod-along stoner jaunt of ‘Jimi’s Gone’, an ode to Hendrix that even features a brief guitar solo from Anderson. The soaring backing vocals and harmonica perfectly compliment proceedings and act as the perfect upper to the somewhat downbeat feel of ‘Graves’, which follows. The album finishes strongly with the heavy as molasses march of ‘Grandpa Jones’ which comes close to doom metal perfection, aided once more by superb backing gospel vocals before the slithering, sinister ‘A Killing Blues’ plays us out.
Clearly the time away and experience in other bands has done the members of Goatsnake the world of good. All four of them put in a stellar shift throughout Black Age Blues, from the measured percussion of Greg Rogers, the pulsing bass of Guy Pinhas and of course the fuzzy axe of ol’ Greg. However the plaudits must go to vocalist Pete Stahl, who not content with having pioneered hardcore with Scream back in the 80s, has just staked a claim for being one of the finest singers of today. His clear, soulful tones elevate the songs above the rest of their stoner/doom brethren and his vocal lines will lodge in your head for days after.
An excellent comeback album from a band that has been away for far too long. Let’s hope they decide to keep this motor running for a little longer this time around.
Teenage Time Killers will be releasing their long awaited release Greatest Hits Vol 1 on July 31, 2015 via Rise Records. The brainchild of Corrosion of Conformity drummer Reed Mullin, guitarist Mick Murphy (My Ruin, The Birds of Satan) and producer John “Lou” Lousteau, the project has released a track listing along with a breakdown of guest credits. All instrumental tracks on Greatest Hits Vol. 1 were recorded at Dave Grohl‘s 606 Studios in Northridge, California. The album was produced by Lousteau, Mullin and Murphy, engineered and mixed by Lousteau at 606 Studios.

Goatsnake will be unveiling details of their first full length in fifteen years entitled Black Age Blues, out June 2, 2015 via Southern Lord.
Black Age Blues is an instant classic, with each one of the nine songs an anthem, and each of the four members of Goatsnake in top form. Everything is magnified; Pete Stahl‘s vocals have never sounded so good, the rhythm section comprised of Greg Rogers on drums and Scott Renner on bass are the driving force on each track, and Greg Anderson‘s riffs are heavier than ever before.
Appearing on the album intro to “Another River To Cross” is acoustic guitar courtesy of David Pajo (Slint, Aerial M, Papa M), the track also containing previously released recordings from Goatsnake’s “The River.” Piano is played by Mathias Schneeberger and Petra Haden contributes violin and vocals. Another welcome addition to the album, across multiple tracks, are brilliant backing vocals by Dem Preacher‘s Daughters: Wendy Moten, Gale Mayes and Andrea Merrit.

Teenage Time Killer, an all star project headed by Corrosion of Conformity’s Mike Dean and Reed Mullin, has reportedly signed a record deal with Rise Records. The name was taken from a Rudimentary Peni song. The instrumental parts for the upcoming CD were recorded at Dave Grohl’s (FOO FIGHTERS, NIRVANA) Studio 606 in Northridge, California on the famous Sound City mixing board, which was the central focus of Grohl’s acclaimed “Sound City: Real To Reel” documentary. The effort was mastered by Bill Stevenson (THE DESCENDENTS, BLACK FLAG).
Reported artists who have contributed to the project include:
Randy Blythe (Lamb Of God) Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) Corey Taylor (Slipknot/Stone Sour) Neil Fallon (Clutch) Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys) Lee Ving (Fear) Tommy Victor (Prong) Nick Oliveri (Mondo Generator, ex-Queens Of The Stone Age/Kyuss) Aaron Beam (Red Fang) Pete Stahl (Scream, Goatsnake) Greg Anderson (SUNN O))), Goatsnake) Karl Agell (ex-Corrosion Of Conformity) Tairrie B Murphy (My Ruin) Mick Murphy (My Ruin) Vic Bondi (Articles Of Faith) Clifford Dinsmore (BL’AST!) Pat Hoed (Brujeria) Max Cavalera (Soulfly) Tony Foresta (Municipal Waste/Iron Reagan) Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein (The Misfits) Keith Morris (Black Flag, etc.) Phil Rind (Sacred Reich)
Asked if there are any plans for TEENAGE TIME KILLER to go on the road in support of the upcoming CD, Mullin told INDY Week: “Touring, I don’t know. Dave Grohl’s folks — his management and marketing people — are going to help us do all that with the thing. We recorded about 98 percent of it at his studio. They were talking about — since there’s so many people from so many different bands — maybe do something like ‘[Jimmy] Kimmel [Live!]’ and have three or four different singers come out at one time, like Jello and Lee Ving, maybe Randy from LAMB OF GOD, something like that. All the songs are real short, so we could do, easily, four songs and not go over. But you know, we’d have Brian Baker come out and play guitar, Pat Smear play bass or guitar or whatever. It’s pretty star-studded.”
He added: “It sounds really organic. It sounds like we — the people that we associated with for the different songs — wrote the songs together.”

The first car I owned was produced in 1934, as was the Securities Exchange Act. I hasten to add that the car was quite used before it came into my hands, again, like the ‘34 Act. It was a good car for the needs of its day, and so were the Exchange Act and its companion, the Securities Act of 1933. But, while the federal securities laws have been the subject of numerous modernizations over the past seventy-two years, they look and function more like the original model than current automobiles look like my 1934 Ford.
From this perspective, it is a great pleasure to read and have the privilege of commenting on the seminal work that Mr. Tafara’s and Mr. Peterson’s article, A Blueprint for Cross-Border Access to U.S. Investors: A New International Framework (“the Blueprint”), represents. In the gentlest of ways, the authors have suggested that the robes of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) are not non-existent, as in the Hans Christian Andersen fable, but less than fully suitable for today’s needs. And with even greater care, they have reminded us that the U.S. capital markets are not alone in the world; the SEC is no longer the emperor of global market activity.
My first and strongest reaction to the Blueprint is a blend of admiration for the authors’ insight and appreciation that individuals of their stature at the SEC have the freedom to speak so clearly of the need for new tailoring of the U.S. regulatory wardrobe. It is also a pleasure to recognize how deftly they suggest that this wardrobe needs only a few nips and tucks to facilitate the healthy global marketplace that will best serve the interests of U.S. investors in the rapidly shifting conditions they describe.
Put in more traditional terms, Mr. Tafara and Mr. Peterson offer suggestions for how the United States can enable the creation of “a new international framework.” They recognize that the United States will be unable to dominate global capital markets activity in the 21st century as it has done in the past, but they posit that it can legitimately aspire to lead one global marketplace. In addition, they make a convincing case that competing through collaboration will further the interests of U.S. investors and commerce.

Description - Understanding Renewable Energy Systems by Volker Quaschning
Beginning with an overview of renewable energy sources including biomass, hydroelectricity, geothermal, tidal, wind and solar power, this book explores the fundamentals of different renewable energy systems. The main focus is on technologies with high development potential such as solar thermal systems, photovoltaics and wind power. This text not only describes technological aspects, but also deals consciously with problems of the energy industry. In this way, the topics are treated in a holistic manner, bringing together maths, engineering, climate studies and economics, and enabling readers to gain a broad understanding of renewable energy technologies and their potential. The book also contains a free CD-ROM resource, which includes a variety of specialist simulation software and detailed figures from the book. Following a successful edition in German and in response to growing demand for high quality, user-friendly textbooks on renewable energy, the author has prepared a revised version of this classic text in English.

Exploring new paths: for some, it can be considered one of the many slogans adopted by manufacturers to promote SUVs, crossovers, and cars that have only the look of off-road vehicles. For others, however, off-road is a serious matter: venturing out of paved roads becomes a necessity to express one’s personality and freedom. For this, there are cars like Jeep and Land Rover, so there are navigators like the new Garmin Overlander.
All new Garmin Overlander is a satellite navigation device designed to be as effective on the road as in the most remote off-road trails. It is a multi-satellite navigation system (with GPS, Galileo and Glonass sensors) all-in-one, designed to meet the needs of the increasingly numerous overlanding community.
Overlander is sold with pre-loaded detailed maps of Europe, the Middle East and most of Africa. It also includes the Tracks4Africa database, a collection of tracks and points of interest throughout the African continent. Interaction is also facilitated for off-road use: as soon as a slightly beaten track is presented, travelers can quickly switch to topographic maps and continue their off-road adventure.
At the hardware level, the designers have created a robust device, equipped with a 7-inch color touchscreen display on which all the necessary contents, such as iOverlander points of interest (POI), ACSI, can be viewed clearly and immediately. Camper contact and Trailer’s Park with campsites and rest areas, all without the presence of a telephone signal. In any case, the device can be combined with the two-way satellite communication system of Garmin inReach, you have the possibility to always remain connected and reachable wherever you are (also the emergency SOS command is present).
Among the sensors included are the compass, the altimeter, the barometer and the clinometer for when you venture on off-road routes, through mountain passes or along particularly difficult paths. Connectivity is completed with the Garmin Explore app, which allows users to wirelessly synchronize tracks, routes and waypoints between their Overlander satellite navigator, smartphone or home computers.

Police are alerting residents to the growing numbers of coyotes being seen near residential areas.
Const. Jamie Nestor said the department sent out a tweet Tuesday morning, which directed residents to the section of the Ministry of Natural Resources’ website that provides tips on safeguarding property.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
Nestor said police haven’t heard the animals are acting aggressively or had any calls about encounters with the wild animals or even heard much about people being afraid. He said the tweet was a precaution.
“We have information that they are in the Front Road area,” Nestor said of reports of sightings and howling being heard. “We just want to say hey … be careful.”
Nestor said the animals are likely just scavenging for food.
The MNR’s website says coyotes prey mainly on rabbits, rats and mice but are “opportunistic feeders and have been known to kill small dogs that have been left unattended.”
LaSalle resident John Hunt, who lives near Turkey Creek, said he’s seeing more and more coyotes including one that had a dead possum or raccoon in its mouth that came within 10 feet of him as he sat outside one evening.
“We see them quite often,” Hunt said, explaining they travel behind the bulrushes and tall grasses nearby.
“One’s always behind the house. He’s big, with a big head … and a smaller, runt one follows behind.”
Hunt said 14 or 15 years ago, there was plenty of other wildlife around too — wild turkeys, deer, chipmunks, pheasants — but he doesn’t see them anymore.
“We’ve got two little dogs we have to watch, especially at night,” he said.
The MNR offers many suggestions for discouraging coyote visits by limiting “attractions” — keeping pet food indoors, securing garbage containers with locking lids and placing them in an enclosed structure, avoiding exposed compost piles and protecting vegetable gardens with heavy-duty fences.
The website (mnr.gov.on.ca) says to clear away bushes and dense weeds that coyotes can use for cover, install motion sensor lights and close off spaces under porches, decks and sheds, which are idea for coyotes to use for dens to raise their young.
If you’re considering a fence as a deterent, it will need to be two-metres high and extend at least 20 centimetres underground as coyotes may dig under a barrier.
It’s also suggested to keep dogs inside at night and if you’re going to walk your dog after dark, make sure it’s leashed and carry a flashlight.
Urban coyote sightings aren’t limited to LaSalle.
Hunt, who works for the City of Windsor’s road department, said he’s seen the dog-like creatures across the city.
“I think, yeah the population is kind of exploding a little bit,” he said.


Miners lead ASX rally on China rebound hopes
Miners led the Australian sharemarket to a six-month high as stock sentiment remained buoyed for hopes of a rebound in China and investors shrugged off weak data across the rest of the world.
Last night the US S&P 500 index closed flat after a fall in US durable goods orders confirmed weakness seen in bond markets, but the S&P-ASX 200 index climbed from the open and closed up 42.6 points, or 0.68 per cent, at 6285.
Bond yields and the dollar jumped after after February retail sales were said to have grown 0.8 per cent, easily outstripping the 0.3 per cent increase forecast and the weak 0.1 per cent increase in January and 0.4 per cent fall in December.
But after the knee-jerk reaction there has been little follow through as economists questioned the data that was very much at odds with the continual closure of stores across the economy, falling house prices and weak wages.
“Some of the gain may be due to problems with adjusting for changing seasonality – the rising popularity of ‘Black Friday’ sales and shifting timing of post-Christmas sales has created some issues around retail estimates through this period,” Westpac economist Matthew Hassan said.
“However, to the extent that this means the February gain is overstated it also implies that previous weakness was also being overstated.”
UBS economist George Tharenou noted that overall retail sales growth rose to a year-on-year pace of 3.2 per cent but non-food sales growth was just 2 per cent and car sales dropped 7.1 per cent.
Government three-year bond yields hit a record low of 1.367 per cent, before bouncing to 1.398 per cent, while 10-years were up 2.6 points at 1.837 per cent.
The trade surplus also hit a record high of $4.8 billion in February, boosting GDP projections, but weather could take the gloss off March data.
Underscoring US and global slowdown fears, US durable goods orders fell 1.6 per cent, pushing US 10-yera bond yields down 3 points to 2.47 per cent.

The New York Times published a report on Tuesday that revealed the “blunt” things that senior Democrats have been saying in private about Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California.
“Senior party officials have been blunt in private about what they describe as the senator’s diminished acuity and are eager to replace her with a Black woman, of which there are none in the Senate after the departure of Vice President Kamala Harris,” the Times reported.
The Times also reported that “Progressive Democrats” may think that Feinstein is too polite to be a good senator.
“Progressive Democrats have also suggested that Ms. Feinstein’s decorous approach was ill-suited for dealing with the increasingly acrimonious partisan politics in Congress,” said the Times. “They were particularly upset during the Supreme Court confirmation hearings of Justice Amy Coney Barrett last fall when Ms. Feinstein praised the way Republicans had handled the hearings. Soon afterward, Mr. Schumer and other Democrats persuaded her not to seek the leadership role on the Judiciary Committee.”
Feinstein, meanwhile, is insisting she will serve out her term, which has another four years.
“On Tuesday, Ms. Feinstein was emphatic that she would serve the remainder of her term, which lasts until 2025, and brushed aside questions about her fitness,” the Times reported. “‘Absolutely,’ she told reporters in the Capitol when asked if she was able to serve fully. ‘I think that’s pretty obvious.’”

Here comes a Sarah Kay card I made yesterday. I just love her:) Picking apples, maybe for her apple-pie?
The papers are from Maja Design. I have inked and sewed the edges. I have also ripped away a part of the paper, and then turned it around and stapled it on again.
The image is coloured with Distress Ink, reinkers. And I have used walnut stain on the paperedges. The flowers are stamps from Stempelglede. I have stamped them with archival ink-coffee, on a Maja Design Paper, and punched them out with Retro Flower punch-large and medium. Then I have bended the petals a little around a brush. The rondells and butterflies are from Unik Hobby. I have also used some post stamps and a splatterstamp around the image. The leaves are made with a QK-die.
I will enter two challenges with this card:

Bristol Rovers boss Joey Barton felt Luke McCormick was lucky to have not seen red before he was substituted just nine minutes after being brought on during their 3-1 win at local rivals Forest Green.
Rovers had responded to Charlie Savage’s early goal to lead 3-1, but McCormick – who was brought on in the 80th minute – was booked immediately and then gave away a penalty with five minutes left.
Goalkeeper James Belshaw saved Corey O’Keefe’s spot-kick, but Barton replaced McCormick soon after.
And Barton said: “It was a really competent professional performance for 80 minutes and then we made a couple of changes and then done a few mad things which put the team under pressure.
“The substitutes are meant to lift the performance and get the job done, but specifically Luke McCormick didn’t and was lucky to stay on the pitch.
“He got booked after two seconds of going on for a stupid tussle with someone in their box.
“Two minutes later he pulls someone down in the area and gives the pen away and he’s a fortunate boy to stay on the pitch. That’s disappointing for me.
“I don’t like taking players off who I’ve substituted on. I don’t like digging players out, but that could’ve made a hell of a difference in the last five or 10 minutes of the game.”
Victory for Rovers was their second in their last three games following a run that saw them pick up only one point in six outings.
Barton added: “We’ve got that winning feeling back and it’s the best feeling in football.”
Savage netted his first senior goal in the 12th minute to put Forest Green ahead and spark wild celebrations from his dad Robbie while he was working on BT Sport Score.
John Marquis levelled seven minutes later and Scott Sinclair put the Gas ahead with his sixth goal of the season in the 26th minute.
Marquis then dashed to meet Sinclair’s corner at the near post in the 61st minute and nod his seventh goal of the campaign.
Belshaw’s save from O’Keefe ended the visitors’ hopes of a comeback as their winless run stretched to 15 games.
Head coach Duncan Ferguson said: “The players gave 100 per cent effort, but I think they looked a bit nervous. Technically we weren’t as good as we’ve been, albeit for the first 20 minutes.
“I thought we started the game very well. Their goalkeeper made the first save of the game and we took our goal really well. Then we made a few mistakes.
“They got themselves a couple of goals and then we never got in their half and created too many chances.
“The second half was the same. A bit of huff and puff, but we never created too much in the second half either.”

The diversity of the cultivable microbiota of the marine sponge Phorbas tenacior frequently found in the Mediterranean Sea was investigated, and its potential as a source of antimicrobial, antioxidant and antiplasmodial compounds was evaluated. The cultivable bacterial community was studied by isolation, cultivation and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Twenty-three bacterial strains were isolated and identified in the Proteobacteria (α or γ classes) and Actinobacteria phyla. Furthermore, three different bacterial morphotypes localized extracellularly within the sponge tissues were revealed by microscopic observations. Bacterial strains were assigned to seven different genera, namely Vibrio, Photobacterium, Shewanella, Pseudomonas, Ruegeria, Pseudovibrio and Citricoccus. The strains affiliated to the same genus were differentiated according to their genetic dissimilarities using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analyses. Eleven bacterial strains were selected for evaluation of their bioactivities. Three isolates Pseudovibrio P1Ma4, Vibrio P1MaNal1 and Citricoccus P1S7 revealed antimicrobial activity; Citricoccus P1S7 and Vibrio P1MaNal1 isolates also exhibited antiplasmodial activity, while two Vibrio isolates P1Ma8 and P1Ma5 displayed antioxidant activity. These data confirmed the importance of Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria associated with marine sponges as a reservoir of bioactive compounds.
Significance and Impact of the Study
This study presents the first report on the diversity of the cultivable bacteria associated with the marine sponge Phorbas tenacior, frequently found in the Mediterranean Sea. Evaluation of the antiplasmodial, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of the isolates has been investigated and allowed to select bacterial strains, confirming the importance of Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria as sources of bioactive compounds.

If you’re all about the finest, most luxurious foods in the world, then caviar probably makes it onto your list.
Whether you want to serve it simply on toast or with a wider spread of accompaniments, learning what to serve with caviar is an important part of being able to experience this delicacy in its full glory.
Caviar is the common name for fish eggs, which are particularly prized from specific types of sturgeon.
It’s more accurate to call what you’re eating “roe” or just “fish eggs”.
It has a strong flavor and a soft meaty texture, with a salty taste.
Caviar is typically served as an appetizer or hors d’oeuvre.
It’s even possible to serve caviar in small dishes that you can pass around at parties, like mini tart shells or potato pancakes.
The caviar flavor will vary based on the type of fish it’s made from, but rest assured that all caviar has a salty taste and creamy texture.
Most people don’t think about what they’re serving when they add caviar to their dish.
Instead, you should realize that there are plenty of side dishes and flavors that would work perfectly alongside your caviar.
In this article, we will list eight of the best side dishes for caviar so that you can add a touch of luxury to your favorite entrees.
Why Consider Serving Side Dishes for Caviar?
Caviar is a delicacy in many countries around the world.
It is often served alone, with toast points or blinis to accompany its smooth and delicate flavor.
However, when serving caviar as the main course at an event or party, it is important to consider pairing the food with side dishes that will complement it.
Since caviar is a high-end dish to serve, it’s important to make sure you keep the rest of the food menu upscale as well.
Pairing caviar with side dishes such as potatoes or pasta would be a mistake since they don’t go with other food items to which they can be compared.
There are many popular options when serving side dishes for caviar.
Many people enjoy pairing it with toast points or blinis, spread with cream cheese.
It can also be served with eggs, lemon wedges, and other garnishes.
What to Serve with Caviar? 8 BEST Side Dishes
Here is a list of the eight best side dishes to serve with caviar.
1 – Blinis
Blinis are Russian pancakes that are made from unleavened dough.
Although they originated in Russia, blinis became popular throughout Europe and eventually made their way into America.
They are the perfect side dish to serve with caviar because they can be made quickly and easily and stand up well to strong flavors such as caviar.
Blinis also taste great on their own, so even if you don’t like caviar, you will still want to try blinis.
It’s also a good idea to serve other condiments with your blinis, such as sour cream or crème fraîche.
2 – Brown Bread
Brown bread is a delicious and filling side dish that goes well with any meal.
It also works well when paired with caviar because it can take on strong flavors without being overwhelmed by them.
The best thing about brown bread is that you don’t even have to bake it.
Just take your favorite recipe and cook it as you normally, but mix in some wheat germ before baking.
You’ll get bread that has a unique, nutty taste.
3 – Crostini
Crostini are Italian toasts made from slices of bread.
Since crostinis are small, they work great as a party appetizer and make a wonderful accompaniment to caviar because the toast can soak up some of the strong flavors.
You can make crostini from almost any kind of bread, so experiment with different types to find the perfect one for you.
4 – Hard-boiled Eggs
Eggs are a versatile side dish that works well with any meal.
They’re the perfect accompaniment to caviar because they can soak up some of the strong flavors of the fish eggs.
This makes them taste even better than normal boiled eggs and gives you more texture variation in your meal.
Hard-boiled eggs may seem like an ordinary side dish, but they become something special when you serve them with caviar.
5 – Risotto Topped with Caviar
Risotto is a great side dish because it’s creamy and filling.
By topping it with caviar, you add some protein and make it even tastier.
This is a simple and easy recipe to follow, and it tastes wonderful when paired with caviar.
To make it, cook some risotto according to the recipe you use.
When the rice is done cooking, remove it from heat and top it with caviar.
The runny texture of this risotto allows it to soak up the strong flavor of caviar, making it the perfect accompaniment to this expensive dish.
6 – Scrambled Eggs
Scrambled eggs are a classic breakfast food, but they also make a great side dish when you serve them with caviar.
Since they are made from eggs, they can soak up some of the strong flavors of caviar.
The dish works well when the eggs are runny so that they can be mixed with the caviar.
It is a dish that works well on its own, but when you serve it with caviar, the dish becomes something special.
The mixture of flavors and textures is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before.
7 – Champagne
Champagne is a great side dish for caviar because it enhances the flavor of the fish eggs while also preventing them from tasting bitter.
The carbonation in champagne works to cleanse your palate so that you can enjoy more flavors without getting overwhelmed.
This pairing is especially good if you’re serving blinis with your caviar since blinis often taste better with champagne rather than other beverages.
It is a classic pairing for caviar, and it’s also one of the simplest.
The carbonation in champagne will make it easier to enjoy fish eggs, and the flavors and textures will enhance your main dish.
8 – Crispy Crackers
Crispy crackers are the perfect accompaniment to caviar because they can absorb some of the strong flavors while still tasting great on their own.
There are many different crispy crackers, so you should experiment with them until you find one that’s just right for your taste.
You’ll get a lot more out of your caviar if you serve it with crispy crackers.
Crispy crackers pack a lot of flavors, and the fish eggs enhance the overall taste.
So with every bite, you’ll be tasting two types of flavor at once, making your meal even more interesting.
In conclusion, caviar is an expensive delicacy that’s worth every drop of flavor.
When you’re planning to serve it, avoid simple carbohydrates and pick one of the above dishes.
It will raise the taste of caviar to the next level.
It’s important to note that there are many more dishes than the ones listed above, which can be served with caviar.
However, these eight will give your guests an unforgettable experience.

Mostly for art historians!
on 14 September 2014
While there are some interesting parts to this book, the reader should be aware, this is not a history of the Habsburgs in the usual sense, but a discussion of the dynasty's use of image in creating its sense of empire. Therefore, while the book takes you through the general history of the most important Habsburg kings and emperors, it does not explain the historical backdrop, but only comment upon it. If you are looking to get a better picture of European history, than this book isn't for you. You really need to be familiar with it already to fully appreciate what you are reading.
Furthermore, the author does not take the time to fully differentiate between Holy Roman Emperors, kings, and other important Habsburgs. To do this you need to look at the family tree in the back of the book, but it is so small, packed and written in such tiny font, that it is too time consuming to find everyone you are looking for. And many of the interesting Habsburgs highlighted in Amazon's blurb about the book, barely get a mention in the actual narrative.
For a book written about images, is sorely lacking in them. So many times the author is discussing paintings and the like, but fails to give us an image so we can see it for ourselves. This book is wanting in so many places, I can not give it a strong recommendation. You may enjoy it if you like art history and have enough time to search the web for the images he speaks about yourself.

With this, I shall pass.
No, I was not one of the Exhibitor. Just got the perks of being one.
The first day of Indonesia Comic Con 2015 falls on November 14th, 2015. Right after hosting a seminar on foreign investment law and joint venture at my faculty (on a Saturday!) I went to Jakarta Convention Center with my brothers. I actually was looking forward into buying some local comics and just seeing the overall design of the event as the promotor is also the one who held New York Comic Con. Despite the initial confusion with Jakarta Comic Con that was held on late September, Indonesia Comic Con offers a good look into the world of both international and national comics, animation and cinematic scenes. A great portion of the participant was looking forward to Star Wars merch in anticipation for its newest movie installment, but a good amount of Western and Eastern pop culture blended well within this particular event.
One thing that is a distinct appeal of Comic Con(s) worldwide is the fact that it is a great media for comics enthusiast to express themselves through cosplays. Attending the event on a Saturday, the number of cosplayers were not as much as the ones coming in on a Sunday -- the convention's cosplay competition is held on the 15th. But even on Saturday I spotted a lot of familiar characters who are more than welcome to have their picture taken with you if you ask nicely. People really went all out and it is such a great sight that people had the liberty to do so through the means facilitated by this event. I spotted different characters from a guy sporting Naruto's signature jacket to a number of people dressing up as Superman(s) and Supergirl(s) going around in groups.
Although there were not many people were sporting local comic characters, but the number of local participants by itself is a good growth in the Indonesian comic industry. Hopefully one day Indonesia can independently have its comic industry holding its own pillars and that the creatives are recognized worldwide for their amazing talents. Coming in and seeing things on up close, Indonesian Comic Con had given me greater hope. The event definitely delivers the highlights on the toys, games and comics, but I hope the event will get bigger in capacity and had even more to showcase.

Here’s a secret about me: This is not the first time I’ve tried blogging. Several years ago I started a blog called Blondie’s Baked Goods. My food photography was abysmal and joining Instagram didn’t even occur to me. I didn’t really know what I was doing, so that attempt at blogging didn’t last very long.
But the blogging bug never really went away. The dream simmered for years before I re-took the plunge. I started off by joining Instagram and practicing food photography. I found an amazing community of other aspiring bloggers and bakers and gained the courage to start a brand new blog. It’s still a work in progress, so thank you for following along on this journey!
To celebrate the new year, and in honor of my original blogging venture, I’m sharing this recipe for funfetti blondies. They’re loaded with sprinkles and mini M&M’s and flavored with brown butter, brown sugar and almond extract. These blondies are easy to make and fun to eat!
The first step is browning the butter. Melt it on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring frequently. The butter will foam as it begins to melt. Once the foam begins to disappear you’ll notice the milk solids settling on the bottom of the pan and beginning to brown. As the butter browns you’ll start to smell a nutty aroma. When the melted butter turns a light brown color quickly remove it from the heat and pour into a glass bowl. There’s a fine line between brown butter and burnt butter, so be careful.
Some recipes call for softened brown butter, which means you need to let it solidify first. But in this case, it needs to be melted. Let it rest for an hour or two outside of the fridge until it comes to room temperature. Take the eggs out of the fridge so they come to room temperature around the same time.
Prep the rest of the ingredients so you’re ready to go once the butter and eggs reach room temperature. The recipe will come together in no time! Make then gluten free like I did, or make then gluten-full.
Before you line the pan with parchment paper, I recommend greasing it with butter. That helps the parchment paper stick to the pan so that it’s easier to press the batter evenly on all sides.
The blondies are done when the edges are lightly brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Mine were done in 21 minutes, but keep in mind that oven temperatures vary. Always set the timer for slightly less time than the recipe calls for. You can add baking time, but you can’t take it away.
Waiting for the brown butter and eggs to come to room temperature, and then waiting for the blondies to cool, are the hardest part about this recipe! Don’t cut them into bars until the pan has cooled completely. Store in an airtight container.
Tag me @rosesandwhiskers on Instagram if you try this recipe and use the hashtag #rosesandwhiskers.
Happy baking and happy New Year!
- 1 3/4 cups gluten free 1 to 1 baking flour substitute all purpose flour for gluten-full bars
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 3/4 cups packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 3/4 cups melted brown butter room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
- 1 cup rainbow jimmies
- 1/2 cup mini M&Ms
- Start by browning the butter. Melt it on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring frequently. The butter will foam as it begins to melt. Once the foam begins to disappear you’ll notice the milk solids settling on the bottom of the pan and beginning to brown. As the butter browns you’ll start to smell a nutty aroma. When the melted butter turns a light brown color quickly remove it from the heat and pour into a glass bowl. There’s a fine line between brown butter and burnt butter, so be careful. Let it rest for an hour or two (along with the eggs) until it comes to room temperature.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Grease a 9 x 13 baking pan with butter and then line with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together.
- In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs using a whisk. Then whisk the eggs, brown butter and brown sugar until smooth. Mix in the extracts.
- Fold in the flour mixture using a spatula. Once incorporated, fold in the sprinkles and M&Ms. Press evenly into the lined pan and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Place the pan on a wire cooling rack and let the blondies cool completely in the pan before cutting into 24 bars. (Use the parchment paper to lift the bars out of the pan before you cut them.) Store in an airtight container.

The Pentagon’s chief weapons tester is increasing its ability to assess threats from radio frequency-enabled cyberattacks.
An emerging vector, these attacks and operations primarily involve gaining access to targets through the RF spectrum by exploiting wireless or “over-the-air” systems.
The Department of Defense’s “cyber posture remains at risk from attacks by unconventional threats, such as those posed by radio frequency (RF)-enabled cyberattacks where cyber payloads in radio emissions disrupt systems, or direct attacks on weapon systems’ data busses and control systems that are essential to aircraft, ships, and vehicles,” the fiscal 2023 annual report of the Office of the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation, stated. “During FY23, relatively simple RF-enabled cyberattacks caused critical mission disruptions. Future DoD cyber strategies, resource allocation, development, and testing must consider such cyber threats.”
Over the last year, DOT&E’s cyber assessment program, a congressionally mandated effort to assess the cyber survivability of combatant command and service missions in contested environments, has worked with other DOD programs with expertise in this area to improve assessments, according to Jeff Jurgensen, a Pentagon spokesperson.
“As the Department of Defense (DoD) makes progress to improve the cyber survivability of its ground-based networks, radio-frequency (RF) enabled cyber-attacks become more attractive to a potential adversary, despite the added difficulty of such attacks,” he said.
DOT&E’s cyber assessment program (CAP) has built a partnership specifically with the Air Force’s Cyber Resiliency Office for Weapon Systems, or CROWS, working together to show potential mission effects of RF-enabled cyberattacks, Jurgensen said.
They helped develop procedures to mitigate effects in a small number of major Defense Department exercises in fiscal 2023.
“As we look to expand both the capabilities of DoD’s cyber red teams to conduct such attacks, as well as the number of exercises involved, additional personnel with expertise in how DoD combat systems use RF technologies to accomplish critical missions will be critical,” he added. “People that understand vulnerabilities associated with RF technologies, and how those technologies work with DoD’s internet protocol-based systems and networks will also be essential.”
The fiscal 2022 annual report made little mention of this vector. It stated that RF and other unconventional cyber threats pose new and serious challenges, noting that the focus of the Pentagon’s current cyber strategies and defense are primarily aimed at internet protocol-based networks.
DOT&E is trying to expand the focus to pay attention to new vectors.
“In close partnership with the Air Force Cyber Resiliency Office for Weapon Systems (CROWS), CAP is expanding its assessments to include RF-enabled cyberattacks to facilitate an enhanced OPFOR that is not solely focused on traditional cyber and Internet Protocol (IP) networks but includes spectrum and apertures to the spectrum,” the fiscal 2023 report stated. “CAP has taken action on the assertion made in last year’s Annual Report by integrating effects based on potential RF-enabled cyberattacks (cyber payloads contained in radio emissions). These effects include system degradation due to direct attacks on weapon systems’ data buses and other control systems essential to many DoD aircraft, ships, and vehicles.”
The office in fiscal 2023 consolidated two years worth of data that showed potential mission effects for transponder–combat identification systems and developed tools and methods to replicate and insert them into aircraft flying during operational exercises.
“DOT&E is working with operators and solution providers to assess remedial actions and updates to tactics, techniques, and procedures to mitigate risks posed by these threats. Additionally, these results will be included in planning for future [combatant command] and Service exercise assessments,” the report said.

Professor Anne Neville's outstanding research record recognised
Professor Anne Neville, Director of the Institute of Functional Surfaces at the University of Leeds, has received the James Clayton Prize from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.
Professor Neville is pictured receiving the 2016 Prize from the Institutions president, Jon Hilton.
The Prize is awarded for exceptional contribution to mechanical engineering or related fields and is the most prestigious award the Institution presents to its members. The first winner, in 1945, was engineer and aviator Frank Whittle who led the creation of the jet engine.
Professor Neville said: For me personally, this is one of the major highlights in my career. It makes me incredibly proud to see my name among some of the great UK engineers. It is great to see mature fields like corrosion and tribology producing the some of the best engineering science and tackling current engineering problems. This is only possible by having some of the most fantastic PhD students, post-doctoral researchers and collaborators. I have been very lucky to work with some really talented engineers and scientists across disciplines.

Much like a recipe is only as good as its ingredients, a garden is only as good as its seeds. Choosing seeds can be quite overwhelming. I’m hoping today’s post will make it a simpler process. I’ll cover where to get your seeds, how to choose the type you want and best of all, I’ll cover what are the jargon on the packet means.
Seed Saving & Starting
Everything you could need to know about seeds. When to start yours seeds, methods for sowing, and even how to save seeds so you don't have to buy more the following year. Seed saving is a total game changer and will show you how to truly appreciate good seeds.
We are thrilled to sponsor another giveaway at Mary’s Heirloom Seeds. Spring is here and it’s definitely time to start thinking about your garden (if you haven’t already).
Mary’s Heirloom Seeds currently offers over 300 varieties of open-pollinated, non-GMO & non-hybrid, non-patented, untreated, organic, heirloom garden seeds.
So what are the giveaway items this time?
– Organic Garden Starter Pack
– “In the Kitchen” Herb Garden Pack
– Baker’s Dozen Seed Combo Pack
Results of a recent social media poll showed 96% of people who start their plants from seed do so by following the instructions on the back of the packet. They sow seeds in pots in sunny windows 6-8 weeks before the last frost. It makes sense that you would follow the directions, but what if there were an easier and much better way to get those seedling started?
It took me several years to be a carrot gardener. Yes, apparently you have to be a special kind of gardener to grow carrots. For years I could grow practically anything… except carrots. I know I’m not alone. I’ve seen the gardening forums. Carrots are extremely discouraging, but they are (in my opinion) one of the yummiest garden gifts. Tomatoes may get all the glory when it comes to backyard gardens, but carrots really are the stars.
Finally, I discovered the trick and I was in carrot heaven. It is inexpensive and it will change your carroting world forever.
Are you just getting started saving seeds? Here is a wonderful resource for everything you could need to know about saving various types of seeds. We cover the easy, intermediate, and hard vegetable seeds as well as a variety of herbs and flowers. Be sure to check back from time to time as we will be continuously adding to the list.
You asked for it in our post Winter Seed Sowing Anywhere, and I’m here to deliver. How do I know what to sow and when to sow? What kind of containers can I use? What about watering? I’ve got the answers to these questions and more. Discover how to winter sow seeds where you live.
Sometimes disaster strikes your seed collection when you least expect it. Only a few days ago, my older son and I sorted out our seed collection by variety. Just yesterday I doled out extra seeds I had to those I knew could use them. When I went to bed, I had a well-organized stash of over 100 seed packets.
Seed saving (also known as “brown-bagging”) is an amazing skill to learn. Not only do you save money and control the quality of your plants from year-to-year, it’s a very rewarding step towards self-sufficiency. Imagine this: No dashing to the store to discover all of the “good tomato seeds” have been sold out for the season.
If you couldn’t guess, Mike is a gardener. But he’s not just any gardener. He is also the owner of Mike the Gardener Enterprises located at averagepersongardening.com If you haven’t checked out his site, now is the time. It’s a wealth of gardening knowledge. Another aspect of Mike the Garden’s Enterprises is a Seeds of the Month Club. OMG you will be in love.

To inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy
Dry cereal, juice pouch, and a packet of goldfish. That is breakfast for 3 out of 4 Tucson kids during the school year. In South Tucson, over half of families with children under 18 are impoverished. Food banks and homeless shelters are strained to their breaking points. They are band-aids – they CANNOT solve the problem of persistent inter-generational poverty.
What would our Tucson community look like if every adult had a fulfilling career with financial knowledge to manage their money? No poverty, no homelessness, and no children going to bed hungry.
This is the vision of Junior Achievement of Arizona. Our mission is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy. JA empowers young people with the skills to succeed in work and life. We give students the knowledge they need to manage their money, plan for their future, and make smart academic, career and economic choices. Our effect is more financially stable families, eliminating generational poverty, forever.

Their report, the first human study to detail the way certain substances in tobacco cause DNA damage linked to cancer, appears in Chemical Research in Toxicology, one of 38 peer-reviewed scientific journals published by the American Chemical Society.
Stephen S. Hecht, Ph.D., and colleagues point out in the report that lung cancer claims a global toll of 3,000 lives each day, largely as a result of cigarette smoking. Smoking also is linked to at least 18 other types of cancer. Evidence indicates that harmful substances in tobacco smoke termed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, or PAHs, are one of the culprits in causing lung cancer. Until now, however, scientists had not detailed the specific way in which the PAHs in cigarette smoke cause DNA damage in humans.
The scientists added a labeled PAH, phenanthrene, to cigarettes and tracked its fate in 12 volunteers who smoked the cigarettes. They found that phenanthrene quickly forms a toxic substance in the blood known to trash DNA, causing mutations that can cause cancer. The smokers developed maximum levels of the substance in a time frame that surprised even the researchers: Just 15-30 minutes after the volunteers finished smoking. Researchers said the effect is so fast that it's equivalent to injecting the substance directly into the bloodstream.
"This study is unique," writes Hecht, an internationally recognized expert on cancer-causing substances found in cigarette smoke and smokeless tobacco. "It is the first to investigate human metabolism of a PAH specifically delivered by inhalation in cigarette smoke, without interference by other sources of exposure such as air pollution or the diet. The results reported here should serve as a stark warning to those who are considering starting to smoke cigarettes," the article notes.
The authors acknowledged funding from the National Cancer Institute.
The American Chemical Society is a non-profit organization chartered by the U.S. Congress. With more than 161,000 members, ACS is the world's largest scientific society and a global leader in providing access to chemistry-related research through its multiple databases, peer-reviewed journals and scientific conferences. Its main offices are in Washington, D.C., and Columbus, Ohio.

Achieving fitness goals often involves pushing your limits, but it’s essential to strike a balance between challenging yourself and protecting your health. While intense training can yield remarkable results, there are situations where it can actually harm your well-being.
When You’re Injured
Exercising through an injury can be counterproductive and even lead to more severe issues. Intense training when you’re injured puts undue stress on the affected area, potentially exacerbating the damage and prolonging the recovery process. Ignoring pain and pushing through workouts might seem admirable, but it can lead to chronic conditions that impede your long-term fitness journey. Listening to your body is paramount. If you’re dealing with an injury, consult a medical professional or a physical therapist before resuming intense training. When you’re injured, it’s important to focus on exercises that will help you heal rather than issues that could worsen your condition. This means focusing on mobility and flexibility instead of compound movements or heavy lifting. Try incorporating corrective exercises into your workout routine and gradually increase the intensity as your injury starts to heal. Strengthening the area around the affected area can also help.
Pregnancy is a transformative period for your body, and maintaining your health is crucial for both you and your baby. While staying active during pregnancy is generally recommended, intense training can pose risks. The hormonal changes and physical adjustments your body undergoes during pregnancy can make high-intensity workouts potentially harmful. You should go light on exercise during pregnancy, as too much can cause stress to your body. Exercise helps your body manage labor more easily as well, by improving fitness and strengthening the muscles used in childbirth. Exercising during pregnancy can also reduce backaches, constipation, bloating, and swelling. Swimming is an ideal form of exercise due to its low-impact nature. Other activities like walking, yoga, and Pilates are also suitable options for pregnant women. Consult with your doctor before beginning a new routine to ensure that the activities you are doing are appropriate for your stage of pregnancy.
When You’re Sick
Exercising when you’re sick is a tricky matter. While light to moderate activity can sometimes help alleviate symptoms, intense training can do more harm than good. When you’re sick, your immune system is already under stress, and intense workouts can further compromise your body’s ability to recover. Engaging in high-intensity training while sick can delay your recovery, extend the duration of your illness, and even lead to complications. It’s essential to prioritize rest and allow your body to heal. Focus on gentle activities like stretching, walking, or gentle yoga until you’re fully recovered. It’s also important to monitor your energy levels when you’re sick. Feeling tired and run-down is normal, but if you’re feeling exhausted after even light activity or simple tasks, then it’s likely not the right time for a full workout. Listen to your body and take plenty of rest until you have more energy for exercise.
Intense training can yield impressive fitness gains, but it’s crucial to recognize when it might harm rather than benefit your health. By making thoughtful decisions and respecting your body’s needs, you can strike a balance between intense training and maintaining optimal health.

New York - Wall Street stocks opened higher on Wednesday ahead of the release of the US Federal Reserve meeting minutes that could shed light on the odds of an interest rate hike this year.
Five minutes into trade, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was at 17 566.49, up 76.99 points (0.44%).
The broad-based S&P 500 rose 8.95 (0.44%) to 2 059.39, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index advanced 19.00 (0.38%) to 5 005.01.
Minutes from the Fed's October 27-28 policy meeting come as the dollar lingers near a seven-month high against the euro.
Fed Chair Janet Yellen has signaled a likely hike in near-zero rates in December.
"There is a presumption that the minutes will reveal a budding preference among voters to raise the target range for the federal funds rate at the December 15-16 meeting," said Briefing.com analyst Patrick O'Hare.

Just two days before Veteran’s Day, on Nov. 9, Bruno Lijoi celebrated a milestone birthday earning him a spot in the centenarian club; that’s right, Lijoi turned 100 years old. A veteran of World War II and a longtime member of American Legion Post 449, the Farmingdale resident took to Main Street’s Village Green on Sunday, Nov. 11, with his wife Mary for the village’s Veterans Day ceremony.
Lijoi’s story begins in Calabria, Italy, where he was born in 1918. He came with his family to the United States when he was 7, learned English and went on to graduate from Brooklyn Tech High School in 1938. Just three years later, at age 22, he decided to join the military draft.
He continued to serve in World War II in the Pacific, working his way up to Captain, and fought in the Battle of Peleliu—a two-month battle that resulted in more casualties than any other amphibious assault in American military history.
After returning to Long Island after nearly five years at war, Lijoi worked for Arma and Grumman where he secured two patents.
This summer, Lijoi was joined by Jacob DeGrom in front of the crowd at Citifield as the New York Mets pitcher presented Lijoi with a flag in honor of his age and service to his country.
With a century under his belt, Lijoi has more wisdom than ever and stated that working hard is the key to life.
“Do whatever you think you can do best and then do your best,” he said. “You have to work hard.”

The Frasassi Caves– Drops of Beauty
The Frasassi caves are a magical place that is worth seeing, a true spectacle of nature resulting from what happened when water and rock met about 190 million years ago.
They are the consequence of geological evolution, where the incessant “action” of the water contributed in creating, together with the carved gorges, the Mount Frasassi Mountain Ridge.
Grotta Grande del Vento
The caves were discovered in September 1971, when some speleologists were curious about a draft that was coming from a small hole in the ground. They soon began digging, and dig after dig they started to discover various caverns of absolute wonder, until they reached the Grotta Grande del Vento.
The Frasassi Caves
The Frasassi Caves, located within the Marche Apennine Mountains, are one of the greatest and most fascinating underground paths in the world. A hidden uncontaminated environment of great beauty, made of up of suggestive spaces and rich in concretions. The caves house a complete underground ecosystem, where it is still possible to observe the calcareous formation in action, and see how the drops continue to carve and build the unique architecture of the caves, a place where life has gone on undisturbed for millions of years.
The Abisso Ancona
Colossal dimensions and transparent concretions, which resemble crystal ornaments are mirrored onto fairy-tale like lakes: this is the magic of The Frasassi Caves summed up in just a few words. The overall length of the caves has been estimated to be about 30 km and its largest cavern, The Abisso Ancona, has a volume equal to about 1,000,000 cubic meters, with a height of 240 meters. A dimension so large that it could hold the Milan Cathedral, according to the guides.


text: The day began with our now typical/routine 6:30a room service tea and wakeup call at the Hotel Panorama in Kyanjin Gumba followed by a 7:00a breakfast. We hit the trail at 7:50a for our long 12-mile, 6.5-hour hike back to the Sherpa Lodge in Lama Hotel. Although the hike was downhill, it was still difficult as it taxed our thighs with its downhill steps and loose rocks. But for John's outstretched arm and Jay grabbing it, John would have fallen off of the trail when he slipped. The only other event of note on the trek downhill was a monkey that we saw on the edge of the trail. By the time we reached the Sherpa Lodge, we were all tired and looking forward to a hot shower in a couple of days in Kathmandu.

Lower-extremity growth patterns and skeletal maturation in children with unilateral fibular hemimelia
Fibular hemimelia is the most common congenital long-bone deficiency. It is usually unilateral and results in a limb-length discrepancy. The literature generally subscribes to the concept of constant inhibition, a process by which limb-length ratios between the shorter and longer extremity remain constant throughout growth, but scientific data supporting this concept are sparse. Additionally, recent literature suggests that these children have abnormal skeletal maturation.
To elucidate the lower-extremity long-bone growth patterns and skeletal maturation of children with unilateral fibular hemimelia.
Materials and methods
We reviewed medical records of children with unilateral fibular hemimelia seen at a large pediatric hospital over a 17-year period. Inclusion criteria were: at least two scanograms prior to any shortening/lengthening procedure, and no other congenital or acquired disorders. We collected the study cohort’s femoral and tibial lengths (scanogram reports), plotted them against patient chronological ages and compared them to published growth standards. When these children’s bone ages (Greulich and Pyle) were available, we plotted them against the children’s chronological ages.
Twenty-three children were included (total=115 scanograms). At least 1 bone-age assessment was performed in 19 children (total=84 bone ages). All bone growth curves were within normal growth standards for the femur and tibia. Length ratios between shorter and longer limbs remained constant. Skeletal maturation was within two standard deviations of normal in 90% of bone ages.
Lower-extremity long bones of children with unilateral fibular hemimelia have relatively normal growth curves, supporting and confirming the concept of constant inhibition. Most children show normal skeletal maturation.

Last month we featured Beloved Beadwork’s exquisite jewellery, this month the pieces of South African beadwork are equally as beautiful, but demand to be seen rather than to be worn. Monkeybiz creates a range of colourful dolls and three-dimensional animals that make you feel joyful by just looking at them. They are selected for Cape Grace’s gift shop by Africa Nova.
Since its inception in 2000, Monkeybiz beaded art has taken the world by storm, with people like Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu, Bill Clinton, Annie Lennox and Samuel L. Jackson adorning their homes with quirky pieces. Each item is unique and hand-made by one of around 450 home-based female bead workers living in the townships of Mandela Park, Khayelitsha and Philippi. The pieces are irresistible because each is suffused with vivid colours, textures, stories and expressions from Cape Town’s townships. Each reflects the life and reality of its artist, interwoven with typical African vitality and exuberance.
The joyfulness in the creations underlies a more serious motivation behind this non-profit making business, whose philosophy revolves around women’s empowerment and health development in the most economically under-resourced areas of South Africa.
So once again there is a good reason to support this form of art and to give into the temptation to own a green and red spotted giraffe or a colourful chequered elephant. Take a look in the Cape Grace gift shop and see if you can resist buying one!
