Q: What is metabolic surgery?
A: Metabolic surgery is an operation that acts like medicine. Its purpose and effect is medicinal, not plumbing. Scientists have long known that obesity is a genetically mediated disorder of metab-olism. People with this disease are biologically permissive to slowly gain excessive weight (fat-mass) but are biologically resistant to lose weight. Once the body recognizes and begins to defend an abnormally high fat-mass set point, the disease of obesity is established and difficult to treat. A healthy lifestyle can help prevent further weight gain, and radical behavioral changes may improve the situation in the short run, but the metabolic forces against weight loss -- biologically perceived as starvation -- are powerful and rarely lose the war on obesity. Metabolic surgery is an intestinal operation that is medicinally corrective of the biology -- profoundly so. In concert with a healthy lifestyle, a much lower, healthier and sustainable fat-mass set point is predictable. For a free seminar, call 423-495-2501.

On the 14th of February Fab G will be dropping a 6 track EP called ISIBANE, a love story saga about a couple, how they met to the day they tie a knot.
” “Is’bane” which means light is symbolical of love. As the title of the EP that is shooting from Umthobanhliziyo Tribal, its non the less that love can never be found in the dark trenches in as much as it can have its dark side. As a people, we need the burning light to take us through hardships of life, and that’s love we are seeking”, he gave out his comment concerning the project.
Here is a full playlist to the Ep :
“I found a lot of common aspects between love and light because these both inspire, motivate and bring in new life daily creating a purpose to live in the human heart. As Light that guides you to the greener pastures of life is the same with love, when treated with realism and fantasy at once, it takes you to the places you couldn’t reach as an individual. Basically as I said earlier “uthando yis’bane” in everyone’s life…”, he said.
Fab G has released the track Nomvula, as a lead single to the Ep. check the audio below :-

The tale of the state of Pennsylvania’s road and bridge infrastructure is in the numbers.
Consider these: 5,906 structurally deficient bridges that carry an average of 22.7 million motorists every day; 9.200 miles of roads in poor condition that ferry 31,000 school buses carrying 1.5 million children to and from school every day. And cash-strapped mass-transit systems that are the only means of getting around and getting to work for thousands more.
During his annual budget address Tuesday, after more than 18 months of waiting, Gov. Tom Corbett finally rolled out a plan to underwrite repairs and reconstruction to an aging infrastructure that not only hurts the state’s economic competitiveness, but also endangers its citizens.
“Every year, nearly half-a-trillion dollars worth of goods and services move through our state transportation system,” Corbett said Tuesday.“Transportation is the bloodstream of our economy. If it fails, our economy fails.”
Mirroring the recommendations included in an August 2011 report from a committee helmed by Transportation Secretary Barry Schoch, Corbett proposed raising $1.8 billion over five years for infrastructure repairs and reconstruction.
The backbone of that proposal is a plan to lift the cap on the state’s wholesale gasoline tax, which would add – at full implementation about 28.5 cents a gallon to the levy, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported.
That would wipe out the savings in the 2-cents-a-gallon reduction in the flat tax paid by motorists at the pump, which is also included in the funding proposal.
And some, or all, of that wholesale tax hike would likely be passed along to motorists at the pump. Pennsylvanians already pay 32.3 cents a gallon in taxes at the pump, the 15th-highest rate in the nation, according to the Pennsylvania Highway Information Association.
The funding plan also calls for biennial renewals for motor vehicle registrations and six-year renewals (up from the current four) for driver’s licenses. Motorists would pay $72 for the two-year registration, double the one-year fee of $36, for instance.
The state has not raised gas taxes since 1997. And with the advent of more fuel-efficient cars, collections have withered, cutting off one of the main sources of revenue for highway repairs.
Corbett, who ran on a pledge to not raise taxes, described lifting the cap as “deregulation.” And in his speech to lawmakers he said lifting the cap “is not a new tax,” nor is he “increasing the rate of the existing tax.”
“I am simply saying the time has come to apply [the tax] to the full value of what the company is selling,” he said. “It is time for oil and gas companies to pay their faire share the cost of the infrastructure supporting their industry.”
And with hundreds of millions of dollars in business tax breaks embedded in the budget plan, including a proposed phase-out of the corporate net income tax, we expect oil companies will grin and bear it when it comes to the cap.
Both the business leaders who make up Corbett’s base and the public (via polls) have said they’re willing to pay more in exchange for smoother roads and safer bridges.
And while Corbett’s proposals are laudable – it’s long past time the administration took on the seemingly intractable funding problem - they still fall well short of the $2.5 billion in new funding recommended by the Schoch report or the $3.5 billion recommended by another study.
Senate Transportation Committee Chairman John Rafferty, R-Montgomery, said he’s already planning a public hearing next week on the funding question. And in interviews Tuesday, Rafferty said it’s going to take additional revenue to meet the recommendations in Schoch’s report.
In a budget plan filled with politically difficult proposals (liquor privatization, anyone?), the transportation package is as close to a lay-up as lawmakers are likely to get this year.
One potential roadblock will come when lawmakers inevitably try to trade votes for road and bridge repairs in their respective districts.
They should resist that temptation – the question of safe roads and bridges affects all Pennsylvanians.
And lawmakers, with Corbett’s active participation and leadership, should craft a funding package that includes the full $2.5 billion in Schoch’s report before the current fiscal year ends on June 30.

Kenya’s Nakuru County Government and the State House Digital communications office, have teamed up to provide free Wi-Fi to residents in the county for at least a month. The project was launched in partnership with Infonet Africa, and reportedly cost $2.2-million. With a population of 1,603,325, it is the fourth largest county in Kenya after Nairobi, Kakamega and Kiambu.
“Jubilee pledged to connect five towns to free Wi-Fi. The journey to keep the promise has just begun. We are committed to ensure Kenyans, particularly the youth are connected,” said State House Digital Director Dennis Itumbi during the launch. He also added that it will be rolled out to other counties soon. “Nakuru is only a pilot for this massive project that we will undertake in coming months. We will next roll out the service to Kisumu.”
Adding to President Uhuru Kenyatta’s mandate of a digital government, State House Digital has also agreed to design and deliver a website, as well as an Android App in the near future.
Nakuru Governor Kinuthia Mbugua said the county would connect farmers to the Internet and improve research in institutions of higher learning.
“We are ready to ensure that our people benefit from connectivity, we are certain we will transform the democratic space and open up opportunities,” the Governor said.
According to Capital FM, “State House has occasionally made major announcements through social media, including President Kenyatta’s official twitter account which is largely relied by the media and Kenyans in getting information.”

James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
James chapter two is all about the subject of loving those in great need, an outgrowth of James 1:27 where they are encouraged visit (help) the widows and orphans who cannot defend themselves. He begins by pointing out their acceptance of people based on outward appearance or what they can give (2:1-3) therefore taking the place of judgment instead of God (2:4) and choosing to disrespect the very things the Lord loves to use for His glory (2:5).
Realizing that Christian would defend themselves by saying “oh I treat everyone with respect” James explains that the Law of Love (Matthew 22:37-39) is just like the OT Jewish law that demanded complete obedience. And the person who breaks one part of the law (lying) in the eyes of God it’s just as if he had broken every one.
It’s interesting that James connects this command to love with the Mosaic law because the ten-commandments were never meant to be kept in the first place. Their purpose was to show our failure to live up to God’s standard of Holiness. The Old Testament could be summed up with the words “God will send a Redeemer, and you aren’t him.
While James is speaking to our inability to love in a way God desires on our own, I believe he uses this verse to confront many believers (particularly Jewish ones) who wouldn’t accept certain people groups.
Jewish Christians were well-known for accepting a Gentile (non Jew) only after they became a proselyte which included circumcision, and adopting the Jewish way of life. The Jews claimed to love everybody but James pointed out there was at least one people group (Gentiles) they definitely didn’t love.
The application for Christians in this verse is clear…we must love all people.
- Not just the nice ones,
- or the ones who agree with us,
- or respect our opinion,
- but the ones who treat us like garbage
- and think they are better than everyone else
- or attack our beliefs
- The moment we treat someone in a selfish or angry way the law of love is broken
This brings me back to the idea that this law of love wasn’t meant to be obeyed in the first place, as least not in our own strength. Instead it should lead us towards a God who can give us the strength to love those who hate or abuse us.
So instead of trying to keep the law of love (and failing) let’s focus on a relationship of dependence upon God. For it is only then that His love can flow through us.

The quality of the flour can make a real difference to your bread. Different makers do vary. Extra-strong or Canadian flours, which are bet higher in gluten, may give you a best rise than standard bread flours – especially if you’re making wholemeal bread , which not always rise as well as white bread.
To make this in a breadmaker , add all the menus to your breadmaker and follow the makers instructions.
A bread first rising can be make in the fridge overnight . This slows down the time it takes to rise to double its size, giving it a deeper flavour. It’s also a great timesaver , as you can work it yesterday , then clear it off the next day.

Many a Ceres resident has spied the concrete monument sign noting the name attached to the rose garden at the northwest corner of Smyrna Park and wondered just who Doyle Cummings was. At least five decades have passed since the garden was planted at the corner of Moffet and Fowler roads and Cummings has remained an enigma.
Until recently when Doyle Cummings – no he didn’t die like lots of folks assumed – appeared with his wife.
Cummings, now 84, had to flee his home in Markleeville because of the conflagration of the Tamarack and Caldor fires. They were given 90 minutes to evacuate and they left with photos and other irreplaceable items and headed to his son’s home in Ceres. Their Alpine County home was spared by a couple of miles.
The couple felt restless and decided to roll up their sleeves and help pull weeds and prune roses in “his” garden. They also donated $500 to the city to replace rose plants.
“When we came down we said, ‘We have nothing to do; can’t take the boredom,’” said wife Mary.
On Wednesday, before they moved back in, they stopped at the garden one last time to do some finish-up pruning. He explained how his life path led to Ceres. Raised in Salida, through a mutual friend Doyle met Juanita Wyatt, daughter of Wyatt Wrecking Yard owner Cecil Wyatt of Ceres. The two married and after a time living in San Jose moved to Kay Street in Ceres. Doyle coached baseball and basketball at Don Pedro Elementary School in the early 1970s. He saw an opening for the Ceres Planning Commission and was appointed. At the time the city had acquired the funds to buy and build Smyrna Park.
“I told somebody, ‘You know, it would be nice if we could get a little spot of land in that park and put in a rose garden,’” said Cummings. “I had just come back from British Columbia – Butchart Gardens – drop dead gorgeous country. The rose garden was unbelievable.”
He shared the idea and it took off. The Ceres Woman’s Club, Ceres Grange, Ceres High School and Ceres Planning Commission all helped raise funds.
“Everybody pitched in and little by little we put it together. People donated money and time. We got a lot of good help.”
He remembers the money to buy the rose plants came from beer sales at the Ceres Peach Festival.
“I got a little flak from that but other than they we got the money we needed to buy our roses.”
The sidewalks were poured by a Ceres concrete company.
The garden was named after Cummings because he organized the effort.
Doyle and Juanita’s marriage ended after 35 years and eventually he moved away. He remarried Mary Williams, a San Francisco real estate agent.
Both were surprised to see a lot of weeds and roses in need of pruning. They pitched in pulling weeds and estimate that they pruned about 75 percent of the roses.
“Gardens take maintenance and see that’s one thing they don’t have,” said Doyle of the city. “They have a very limited amount of maintenance and so they just let things slide and pretty soon your weeds are this high.”
Cummings said he’s never felt healthier and stronger at age 84.
“I’m healthy as a horse. I can do everything today I could do at 40. I run. I live in the mountains. I own three chainsaws. I live off the grid. And I work. And the more I work the better I feel.”

One of these days I'm going to count up the HDI sources and see what the ranking is. The black ti will be high on the list, I think. There's always something there, as there was this morning.


Yesterday, the UK government revealed that a support package of £1.57 billion has been planned to fund the arts, culture and heritage industries to help them “weather the impact of the Coronavirus”.
Emergency loans and grants will be given to theatres, museums, galleries, music venues, independent cinemas and heritage sites across the UK, in a move which marks the biggest one-off investment in UK culture, and follows similar measures taken by the government to combat the financial effects of the Coronavirus.
Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, said that the money “will help safeguard the sector for future generations, ensuring arts groups and venues across the UK can stay afloat”.
There will be a £1.15 billion “support pot” for cultural organisations in England, comprised of £880 million worth of grants, and £270 million of repayable finance.
The funding includes £100 million for English cultural institutions and the English Heritage Trust, as well as £120 million of capital investment to restart construction on cultural infrastructure and heritage construction projects in England, which was halted due to the pandemic.
A total of £189 million is also promised to fund the devolved administrations, with Scotland receiving £97 million, Wales £59 million and Northern Ireland £33 million.
Culture Secretary, Oliver Dowden, announced the emergency package: “Our arts and culture are the soul of our nation. They make our country great and are the lynchpin of our world-beating and fast-growing creative industries.
“I understand the grave challenges the arts face and we must protect and preserve all we can for future generations.”
Further details about the package are expected in the upcoming weeks, as “[e]xpert independent figures” from the arts sector will help the government decide on who the money should be awarded to.
Joint CEOs of The National Theatre, Rufus Norris and Lisa Burger, stated: “We feel very positive that this major investment will reach and sustain the vital talent and infrastructure- both organisations and freelancers- which make British theatre truly world-leading.”
The funding follows several weeks of pressure, with industry leaders warning that many venues were on the brink of collapse.

It’s been a good couple of years for The Daleks, as I think we should probably agree to call it now. We’ve had a beautifully illustrated edition of David Whitaker’s novel, a cinema re-release of the movie version, and (for UK viewers at least) the opportunity to watch the story on BBC iPlayer. And now, on the very day of the programme’s 60th anniversary, this brand new colourised omnibus. How wonderful that, all these years after its first broadcast, what is arguably the most important story in Doctor Who’s long history should still attract this kind of care and attention.
When it was first announced, I wrongly assumed this would be along the lines of those feature-length versions of stories that would be shown, often over Christmas, in the 1970s (and which are now frequently included on the Blu-ray classic series box sets). It was a huge treat in those pre-home video years to enjoy the likes of The Green Death and Genesis of the Daleks again. But that was to vastly underestimate the ambition of video editor Benjamin Cook, who didn’t so much cut the episodes together as strip them down to their individual parts and reassemble them from a whole new set of plans.
Russell T Davies said in this month’s Doctor Who Magazine that the editing would prove to be more controversial than the colouring, and he was probably right. The tale now rattles along at a relentless pace, with the swift cutting we’re all used to in the modern era but would have been unthinkable when the story was made. I found myself laughing at the production team’s gall in coming up with such a wholesale reimagining, though it surely won’t have been to everyone’s taste.
It’s a shame that there wasn’t room for the Magnedon, Doctor Who’s very first alien creature, and some moments of character and charm that weren’t strictly necessary to the story, such as the food machine sequence, were sacrificed. I could have done without retconning touches like the cloister bell and mention of Kaleds, but I will allow that most people watching would have expected to hear ‘EXTERMINATE!’ a few times, even if viewers of the original didn’t. I rather liked some of the more audacious touches, such as the Daleks cunningly writing Susan’s note, though I wish there’d been room for a new scene where a Dalek clutches a marker pen as another one criticises its handwriting.
When the Daleks made it on to the big screen in the 1960s, the posters promised it was a chance to see them IN COLOUR. It was a message the team behind this colourisation seemed to have taken to heart, because boy, was this colourful. Barbara’s blouse was so vibrant a shade of pink it’s a wonder the first Dalek to appear in the series wasn’t blinded, and I couldn’t take my eyes off those vivid yellow and red dials on the control panels. Colourisation technology has clearly come a long way since those early 1980s efforts, but I don’t think it’s unfair to say it’s not yet at the point where anyone watching this would think it was filmed in colour.
But what an achievement by Rich Tipple and his team, who slaved for hours using techniques which, though assisted by software, still largely have to be done manually. We’re used to seeing colour photos of 1960s silver and blue Daleks, but it was glorious to see them moving and interacting, and of course exterminating, here.
At the conclusion, we got a tantalising glimpse of The Keys of Marinus, The Web Planet, and lots of other 1960s stories in colour, including The Beatles’ Top of the Pops appearance. Can they really be planning to do them all? I’ll certainly be watching if they do, as well as looking forward to RTD going on The One Show to promote, say, the 68th anniversary armed with the colourised version of The Gunfighters.
Although full credit must go to those behind The Daleks in Colour, the final tributes have to be paid to the cast and crew of the original, who against all the odds, in the face of low expectations and working in the most unfavourable conditions, came up with a production that caught the public’s imagination in a way few programmes ever do.
For all the changes made in this new edit, it’s still possible to marvel at what they achieved. That sense of danger, that the travellers are in the most desperate peril, was never quite the same after those early stories. The mystery of just who the Doctor is, and the (wholly justified) feeling that he can’t be trusted. And of course the Daleks; menacing, calculating, and malevolent, and about to secure the programme’s future. The Daleks in Colour was a highlight of this very special month in Doctor Who history, and enabled us to enjoy this landmark story all over again.
The Daleks in Colour can be viewed on BBC iPlayer.
A DVD, Blu-ray, and limited edition steelbook will be released in February 2024.


Hurricane Arthur came and went relatively quickly, but it left a legacy. Four days after rains came fast and furious into the region, SouthCoast communities are still playing catch-up.
Editors note: This story was written before beaches in New Bedford reopened to swimmers on Tuesday, July 8.
Hurricane Arthur came and went relatively quickly, but it left a legacy: New Bedford beachgoers still can't go in the water and SouthCoast quahoggers still can't dig.
Four days after rains came fast and furious into the region, SouthCoast communities are still playing catch-up.
Shellfishing areas have been closed throughout Buzzards Bay, as have New Bedford's beaches, due to excess amounts of bacteria in the water.
That bacterium comes largely from the region's sewage treatment plants, many of which were working overtime during the storm to keep up with the rain.
New Bedford's underground pipes carry both storm water and raw sewage to its waste water treatment plant in the South End. That plant can process about three million gallons of wastewater per hour, or about 75 million gallons per day. When the pipes are inundated in large rain events, the mixture is frequently discharged into Buzzards Bay without being treated through 27 combined sewage overflows.
Friday's storm, which brought eight inches of rain to the city, was no exception, said Department of Public Infrastructure Commissioner Ronald LaBelle. During the storm, the rain came so fast that manhole covers popped off and were floating in flooded streets, he said.
"That's part of life in New Bedford," he said.
LaBelle estimated that "99 percent" of what was discharged into the bay is rain water, but, "there is sewage mixed in, and with sewage goes bacteria."
"A rain event like this is going to shut everything down, the beaches, the shellfishing, everything," he said.
LaBelle estimated that New Bedford's beaches could be closed for five days.
A spokeswoman for the Division of Marine Fisheries said the agency is currently reviewing its shellfish closures throughout Buzzards Bay and some areas may reopen soon.
While spewing raw sewage is not rare for New Bedford, it is for the Town of Fairhaven, where the Department of Public Works had to discharge more than 150,000 gallons of sewage into the harbor.
That's unusual for Fairhaven, where Department of Public Works Superintendent Vincent Furtado said the sewage system was inundated with rainwater.
Unlike New Bedford, Fairhaven's rainwater and sewage systems are separate, and sewage should not be affected by a large storm. But a combination of old, cracked pipes and residents who illegally tie sump pumps into the sewage system meant the sewage system was inundated with excess water, officials said
The storm, which dumped about six inches of rain in town, overwhelmed the plant, which can process five million gallons a day and store five million more gallons for treatment later.
"Us discharging into the water does not usually happen, not even during hurricanes," Furtado said. "But on Friday it was just too, too, too much water and it came in too, too, too fast to keep up with."
In Marion, Wastewater Superintendent Frank Cooper said the plant did not have to discharge into the bay thanks, in part, to recent efforts to update the town's pipes. That, along with a 20-acre holding lagoon, helped Marion avoid what happened in Fairhaven.
"The lagoons are an integral part of our system, because anytime we get too much rainwater in the sewage, we just divert it there until the plant can handle it," he said.
Marion's plant processes an average of 588,000 gallons of sewage per day. During Hurricane Arthur, much of the excess was diverted to the lagoons and the plant has not had a chance to process that sewage until this week.
In Dartmouth, wastewater treatment plant operator Carlos Cardoso said the plant was able to keep up with the rain.
"Luckily we had a dry week before," he said. "If it had been a rainy week and then we had that storm, we would have had a problem."

Regeneration of Jatropha curcas L.: An important biodiesel plant
Author(s): R Krishna
Abstract: Jatropha curcas plant has tremendous scope in contributing growing demand of energy resources. It can grow in any kind of soil; therefore, will not compete with conventional crop for cultivation. For the large scale propagation, several regeneration systems have been published using different explants such as cotyledons, hypocotyl, epicotyls, stem, leaf, shoot apex, petiole, node, axillary buds etc. Using these regeneration systems, a novel gene can be introduced in Jatropha plant for improving biodiesel quality.

摘要：A new fluorescent probe, N-(4-(1,5-diphenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-3-yl) phenyl)-2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonamide (probe 3), was designed and synthesized as a highly sensitive and selective fluorescent probe for recognizing and detecting glutathione among biological thiols in aqueous media. Probe 3 is a nonfluorescent compound. On being mixed with biothiols under neutral aqueous conditions, the 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfoyl moiety can be cleaved off by glutathione, and the blue emission of the pyrazoline at 464 nm is switched on, with a fluorescence enhancement of 488-fold for glutathione. Furthermore, probe 3 was highly selective for glutathione without interference from some biologically relevant analytes. The detection limit of glutathione was 4.11 × 10~(-7) M. The emission of the probe is pH independent in the physiological pH range. Moreover, the probe can be used for fluorescent imaging of cellular glutathione and can be used for detecting glutathione in calf serum.

Following the ban o street begging in Kano state, the government has empowered 60 women and youths with entrepreneurial skills.
Ganduje Dr. Zahra’u Muhammad-Umar, the State’s Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, made the announcement.
She made it known while speaking at the presentation of the empowerment program to the beneficiaries in the state.
Umar confirmed that some of the beneficiaries were picked from the street and under the bridges.
She said the government was obliged to empower women and other weak and vulnerable persons in the state. She also said the package is extended to people living with disabilities for them to take care of themselves so as to quit street begging.
The program beneficiaries were given N10,000 each with a sewing machine, soya beans, beans millet, rice, freezers, small generating sets, and many other valuable things.
Admonishing the beneficiaries, she said, there will be mentoring and follow-up to ensure that they are doing what we have taught them and make sure they do not sell the goods. As you have been given empowerment package, anyone found on the street again will be taken to court,” she told the beneficiaries.
She also commended the effort of the governor, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, for his support to lift many people from poverty and street begging.

Battle of the mapping giants at the Olympics
February 25th, 2010 by Susan Smith
It would seem that Google and Microsoft have been vying for mapping airtime during the Olympics in Vancouver. According to a CNET article, “Google has been featuring Olympic-themed doodles on its home page, while Bing is featuring Olympic-themed photos as its background, with the images rotating several times a day. Microsoft can also tap the fact it is helping power NBC’s Olympics Web site through MSN, giving it access to quite a bit of content from the Games….
Bing Maps has a special Olympics page that lets visitors see medal charts and click on a country to see how its athletes are faring. Meanwhile, Microsoft has also updated Vancouver with new street-side imagery and made it one of three cities (along with Seattle and San Francisco) in which it is trying out new features, such as Flickr integration”
For its part, Google features an interactive schedule, with links to medal results, news, and the venues. To get additional imagery for its maps program, Google augmented its usual fleet of cars with Street View photos captured by snowmobile.
Vancouver Sun reporter Jeff Lee has been covering the preparation for the Games since 2003.
His Vancouver map, created on top of Google Maps, has pin points for everything from the venues, to public events, national pavilions, and public transit stops and road closures.”

TOKYO - A trade deal between Japan and the United States is set to enter into force on Wednesday granting greater market access to US agricultural products while giving Japanese automakers respite from the threat of additional tariffs.
The deal will eliminate or lower tariffs on $7.2 billion in US exports including beef and put American farmers on level ground with competitors from Australia and Canada, which along with Japan are part of the revised Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement.
Japan will immediately cut its 38.5 percent tariff on US beef to 26.6 percent and make gradual reductions each year until it reaches 9 percent in 2033.
The United States, in turn, will lower tariffs on Japanese industrial products such as some types of manufacturing equipment and components for air conditioning units under the pact.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and US President Donald Trump have also agreed to continue negotiations for a more comprehensive trade agreement between the world's first and third largest economies, which together account for roughly 30 percent of the world's gross domestic product, covering services and investment.
Japan is reluctant to continue talks with the United States on a bilateral deal, as it wants Washington to return to the Pacific free trade pact.
While dodging Trump's threat to impose a 25 percent tariff on automobiles and their parts based on national security concerns, Japan failed to secure the elimination of the existing 2.5 percent duty, something the United States had granted under the original TPP before abruptly pulling out in 2017 before its ratification.
The deal simply says auto tariffs are "subject to further negotiations."
Pork, cheese and wine are among the other US products that will enjoy greater market access, likely meaning lower prices for Japanese consumers but stiffer competition for farmers in the Asian country.
For its part, the United States will also welcome more "wagyu" beef into the country by removing Japan's low-tariff quota of 200 tons a year and including it in a group of other countries sharing a quota of 65,000 tons.
While Abe has hailed the deal as "win-win," opposition lawmakers have criticized it as one-sided, with Tokyo making far more concessions than Washington.
Eager to avoid trade friction with the United States, they say, Abe rushed to a deal that would allow Trump to mollify American farmers disadvantaged by his decision to withdraw from the TPP days after taking office in January 2017. The revised deal among the remaining 11 members took effect at the end of 2018.
Talks between Toshimitsu Motegi, now foreign minister, and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer took just five months, from their start in April to the announcement of the deal in September. Japan's upper house, controlled by Abe's Liberal Democratic Party, completed ratification in early December.
As Tokyo and Washington are set to begin negotiations once the deal takes effect, preliminary consultations to set the scope of the negotiations are slated to conclude within the next four months, though no timeframe has been set beyond that.

The Holy Cross Crusaders honoured one of their family by winning all three games they played in the inaugural Tessa's Tournament.
Named in memory of former Crusader star Tessa Beauchamp who lost a battle with cancer one year ago, Tessa's Tournament brought together some of the best class AA senior girls' basketball teams in the province for some pre-post-season action. In addition to the top-ranked Crusaders, the tournament featured third-ranked St. Thomas Aquinas, fourth-ranked Wellington, sixth-ranked Sa-Hali, 10th-ranked Vernon and honourable mention Archbishop Carney.
"It wasn't like most tournaments with a draw and a playoff; it was more a case of matching up teams so they could play opponents they haven't seen before," said Holy Cross coach Steve Beauchamp, Tessa's father.
"It was funny because during our game against Vernon I counted six cameras on tripods and three ipads filming - everybody was looking for game film on everybody else."
The Crusaders opened the tournament with an impressive 8146 romp over Wellington on Friday afternoon. Michelle Bos and Rachel Beauchamp combined for 58 points to lead Holy Cross.
Saturday morning the Crusaders were back on the court against Vernon where they used home court to their advantage and rolled to a 73-40 win.
Holy Cross closed out the weekend by doubling up on Sa-Hali 86-43 Saturday afternoon.

12th June - Today's News: Wildfires Sweep Western USA
In the US, western wildfires straining resources - in the Colorado fire: 41,140 acres burned, 1 dead
As homes evacuated after floods (some good pictures there) rain battered Britain at risk of further flooding - more rain is expected across most parts later this week. It's looking very much like a repeat of 2007, though here in Evesham, although we've already had more than the normal rainfall for the whole month, totals are not nearly as bad as they were that year.
Osprey chick dies at Dyfi reserve after bad weather - as reported live in Facebook at the weekend. There were some impressive scenes of flooding on Springwatch last night too. Meanwhile, mines pollution fears investigated.
Tornadoes spotted in Co Donegal (it's not certain whether it actually touched down though, so atm it's just a very impressive funnel cloud)
In Australia, another storm warning adds to WA residents' misery
In Taiwan. landslide in Nantou kills two, injures one, after heavy rain
New evidence supporting theory of extraterrestrial impact - the Clovis Comet hypothesis has returned from the dead and is starting to look stronger than ever. It may partially explain why there was such a large megafaunal die off - especially in the Americas - at the end of the last ice age compared with the termination of previous glacial. With human predation tipping the balance further towards extinction for species whose number were already decimated both by the consequences of the impact and more general climate change (remember: simple theories are rarely right. It's not a case of either/or, but, in most cases, a combination of everything)
Global warming threat seen in fertile soil of northeastern US forests - basically, as the soil warms so it releases CO2 which (in theory) leads to more warming. And it's suggested that humans are primary cause of global ocean warming over past 50 years - though I know a few folk who'd strongly refute that!

“Fans never got to see it, cause [show creator] Dan [Schneider] made the choice to edit that out and go a different direction,” Victoria shared. Um, we NEED to see this!

The Mengsk-class fleet carrier was a fleet carrier classification of the Terran Dominion and its successor, the Terran Republic. It was a novel concept that instigated the series of Terran fleet carriers, and was hailed as a paradigm shift in Terran naval warfare technology and warfare doctrine.
The Mengsk-class fleet carrier was originally designed to fulfill a vital role in the Dominion Fleet; the ever-growing "carrier gap" in the naval arms race between the Terrans and the Zerg. While the Dominion continued to invest substantial resources into the construction of cruisers and destroyers to contest enemy capital capital ships, the Dominion Fleet was ill-prepared to combat Zerg fighters. Many naval engagements would boast tens of thousands of Zerg fighters that would overwhelm Terran ships that were armed to counter warships, not small interceptors and bombers.
Thus, the Mengsk-class was designed to boast an extensive starfighter compliment — one hundred and forty-four fighters (two full combat wings) — as well as an able surface component of infantry and combat vehicles. A single fleet carrier, with two whole fighter wings, was a force projection asset capable of projecting Dominion military superiority across an entire star system, and served to be an invaluable asset to counter increasing Dominion losses because of the lack of fighter screens.
Eventually, the fleet carrier concept would further evolve into a dedicated vessel that could serve as both command vessel and heavy carrier; thus, substantial investments were made to ensure that the Mengsk-class both could survive enemy fusillades as well as capably duel enemy warships. Geometric advancements in Terran military technology would forsee the enhancement of the fleet carrier's energy shields, and the carrier was armed with a Mark II Yamato Cannon as well as a battery of forty laser batteries to engage enemy capital warships.
However, the Mengsk-class fleet carrier's most glaring deficit was its manueverability and velocity; its substantial armaments, compliment, and shielding would leave little onboard energies for power of the motive thrust drives. This was not seen as a decapitating weakness, however; the fleet carrier was meant to be a well-guarded asset in any Terran battle group, screened by cruisers and destroyer escorts, and was designed to wage its war from afar, launching its fighter squadrons and firing its batteries at range, and relying on its escorts to neutralize enemy capital ships that came to destroy it.
The Mengsk-class fleet carriers would be extensively employed by the Terran Dominion during the Dominion's struggle to prevail against the Zerg onslaught after the cataclysmic Brood War. When the Dominion became assimilated into the Terran Republic, these fleet carriers would become integral in the Republic Navy, extensively participating in humanity's defense against the Zerg. One Mengsk-class fleet carrier, the Defiance, would become prominently known as the flagship of Jocelyn Perry, and would serve as one of the core vessels of the Terran Republic Fifth Fleet and would serve as the command vessel of Carrier Group Two.

OK, you've been warned...you all know from over the past 2 years of blogging that my quilts are usually Civil War repros, darks and plaids, 30's...but never brights unless I'm doing something for Hampton. I did Hampton's 2nd birthday quilt...I am so excited...I cut it yesterday afternoon...got it all together today and the back sewn together and ready for the quilter. This was so easy and so fun...I used a pattern from Country Threads..."Couch Quilt" and a group of fabric from MODA (probably a year or so ago) "Wild Things". There's a story behind this whole thing. Josh's favorite book when he was 2 was Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. He got it from the library every time we went. Thankfully the library had several copies, so we could return one and check out another one, since we could only renew once. We read that book every night. He loved it. We left him with my mom and dad one evening and he took the book with him. He had Nana read it to him...mom said he was falling asleep in her lap as she was reading so she decided to turn 2 pages at a time...a little voice piped up...No Nana, and he got her on the right page. So Hampton will be getting his very own copy of the book, so they don't have to return it, and a quilt full of wild things. Sorry about the big wrinkle...I held this time and my man took the picture...my arms aren't as long so I was pulling it a bit I think. Here's a closeup of the funny monsters on the front And here's the back
It was a very fun day!
You know how I LOVE mail! Well, after a very dreary day today, tropical storm Fay made it a yucky day, I went to the mailbox and WOWSER...did I ever get a treat. I was expecting a charm pack in the mail from Tammy...I was a big copy catter and told her that I really wanted to make that fun quilt she showed last week with the Hopscotch fabric...being the sweetie that she is...she said she had an extra charm pack and a half and that she would be glad to send it to me....as you can guess I was thrilled. The mail came today and the priority envelope was FAT! Look at all the treasures...a wonderful 2009 calendar and matching notepad, the artwork on these is just outstanding...a bar of peach soap made with olive oil, oh my hands will be in heaven...a bar of lemongrass soap, it smells sooooooo good and a package of John James embroidery needles...I've seen many of you talk about these needles on your blogs, but there isn't anywhere around here that sells them...now I have my very own.
Thanks Tammy...you made my week.
I've gotten several e-mails today checking to make sure we're OK with this crazy storm...all is well...we've had rain most of the day and we're supposed to get more tonight with some wind...but surely not as bad as it could be. Tomorrow is supposed to be pretty yucky too...this storm is moving very slowly...just wants to hang around. Sounds like another sewing day...YIPPEE!

....And not to mention the charm pack! What a way to brighten an otherwise gloomy day. Have fun with your quilting and looks like Hampton will be the envy of all with his speciality quilt.
I love fun packages in the mail. How fun. We had a lady come to our quilt group and she made quilts designed around some children's books. They were so cute. This one fits perfectly with that idea. What a great loving gift.
Wow! That is a wild quilt. Hampton will love it.
My oldest grand-daughter had to watch "The Wizard of Oz" movie every day for quite a period of time when she was little. Now she doesn't remember a thing about having done that nor that she liked the movie so much.
You sure cleaned up on the goodies that came in the mail! The "Knit & Stitch" shop in Cocoa Village has a selection of John James needles if you want more.
What a lucky lil' guy to have such a great, fun quilt. Lemongrass soap, ummm, heavenly.
LOVE that monster fabric! My kids loved that book as children. My grandson isn't quite the age yet for that book yet but soon maybe. I'll have top get him his own copy and make him a quilt to go with it.
What fun fabric - makes the perfect quilt for your little guy and a great story (and book) to go along with it. So glad to hear that the storm didn't cause big damage . . . stay safe and don't float away in the rains *s*
That is such a cute monster quilt, I love that fabric. And what a cute story about Josh. Daniel would do the same thing with The Very Hungry Caterpillar, I was always trying to skip parts and he would catch me lol!
Hampton's going to love it :)
I'm glad you liked your mail goodies, I've definitely enjoyed my mail box goodies from you :)
What a great quilt with such a sweet story behind it. Hampton will LOVE it. Great mail day for you..what a sweetie Tammy is! So glad you are doing OK with the weather.
What a fun quilt. We need these every once in awhile to keep things interesting. Glad you made it through Faye.
How I LOVE the quilt for Mr. Hampton! It is gorgeous, Carol! He will love it I know.
What a wonderful gifts from Tammy! I love the Hopscotch fabric line, too, and have 2 charm packs just waiting for me!
I am so relieved to hear you and Andy are doing well - I've been thinking a lot about you and the boys. It has been pouring rain here, too, and I love to listen to the rain while I'm sewing!
Where The Wild Things Are was one of my favorite books too! Your Grandson will just love this "Wild" quilt!
How cute is that?? Hampton is going to take that everywhere he goes!
Oh that looks like such fun for Hampton! As a former preschool teacher, I read that book a zillion times and love it. What a sweet gift for him!
Thanks for your kinds words. David has traveled a lot with this job - this just came out of the blue though and is not what he signed up for. He left a REALLY good job for this one because of the 50% increase in pay and what we thought was less travel. Oh well - he'll be bale to retire on or before his 60th birthday in a few years and I am already retired so we are keeping that goal in mind.
Glad to hear you are OK with the storm!!
Cute, cute quilt! Hampton will just love it, especially the fabric it is made from. I hope you are still doing ok with the weather. I have thought about you but hadn't checked on you yet.

SEEING IS BELIEVING
Commuters, multitaskers, avid readers, and computer users all agree that HarperLuxe is the new format in larger print, set in 14-point type
- HarperLuxe titles feature wide margins and 14-point type—easier on the eyes than standard 11-point type, but not quite as conspicuously large as the 16-point type traditionally associated with large print.
House of Earth follows the lives of two farmers, Tike and Ella May Hamlin, husband and wife, who live in the Texas Panhandle in the 1930s. They live a hard life in a flimsy shack, yet exist with extreme (and fraught) vitality. Their wooden house can't keep out the elements, so Tike--Guthrie's alter ego--espouses the gospel of adobe. Everywhere he goes, he carries a five-cent government pamphlet, a how-to manual that teaches poor, rural people how to build an adobe dwelling from the cellar up. Homes made from the land itself--fireproof, windproof, Dust-Bowl proof--houses of earth.
I'll grab some mud and you grab some clay
So when it rains it won't wash away.
We'll build a house that'll be so strong,
The winds will sing my baby a song.
On the dirt farm, life persists, and Tike and Ella May make love in a scene worthy of D.H. Lawrence. The intimate descriptions serve a purpose, and Guthrie elevates the biological act to a representation of Tike and Ella May's oneness with the land, the farm, and each other. And yet, the land is not the Hamlins' to do with as they please--and so the building of their adobe house remains painfully out of reach. What could be simpler than making a home from bricks, and bricks from dirt? And what could be a more insidious obstacle to that dream than not owning the land on which you live and work? This is what Tike and Ella May combat and how this book makes a direct and forceful statement.
In many ways, House of Earth, originally handwritten in a Steno notebook, is a companion piece to "This Land Is Your Land." The novel falls somewhere between rural realism and proletariat protest to produce a vivid and moving portrait of the Texas Panhandle and the marginalized folk who made a life there in the 1930s.

YouвЂ™re straight down on luck, your funds are operating low, and youвЂ™re in dire need of the few hundred dollars in cash вЂ” ASAP. The lender wonвЂ™t allow you to, therefore the cash advance spot wishes a 400% yearly interest. Whatever youвЂ™ve got left may be the gold pocket view your great-uncle Chester provided you.
Where do you turn? You check out the pawn store.
Each year, some 30m People in the us frequent the countryвЂ™s 11.8k pawn shops into the hopes of securing that loan in return for security.
Collectively, the loans, acquisitions, and sales pawn stores make on these tiny things soon add up to a $6B+ industry that is per-year.
Although not all provides are made similarly. You might get offers that differ by 200% or more if you walk into 5 different pawn shops with that gold watch.
We wondered why which was, therefore we went searching for a remedy. And as you go along, we discovered a couple of other items about pawn stores that may allow you to concern at all whether you should do business with them.
How a pawn store works
The typical pawn store transaction decreases like therefore:
Pawn shops are usually a resort that is last individuals in lower-income brackets.
In accordance with the nationwide Pawnbrokers Association, 7.4percent of all US households have actually frequented a pawn shop. This figure jumps as much as 40% among lower-income earners, whom often donвЂ™t have enough cash on hand to pay for a $400 crisis cost.
The pawn that is average loan is merely $150 вЂ” but also a little loan can rack up considerable interest charges for somebody in economic straits.
Whenever Christine Luken, a counselor in Cincinnati, dropped on a down economy, she took her ring that is grandmotherвЂ™s to pawn store and was presented with a $150 loan. вЂњI experienced to cover $30 an in interest,вЂќ she told the website student loan hero month. вЂњI finished up interest that is paying it for two years, $720 in total. ThatвЂ™s 480% of the things I initially borrowed.вЂќ
Pawn shop interest levels range from state to convey. In Ca, the restriction is 2.5%/month (30% APR); in Alabama, it is 25%/month (300% APR) вЂ” high enough to be looked at predatory, not quite since bad as a payday or name loan.
In 85% of all of the situations, customers have the ability to spend their loans back. Nevertheless when they donвЂ™t, the pawn shop nevertheless makes money by attempting to sell the security.
To obtain a far better feeling of just what a pawn shopвЂ™s income breakdown seems like, we took a look over the newest yearly report for EZCorp, Inc., certainly one of AmericaвЂ™s biggest pawn store chains.
Among its 500+ United States stores, 63% of all of the income originates from loans and costs (starting from 13% to 25%), and 34% originates from attempting to sell the security.
Those items that can come via a pawn shopвЂ™s home are alarming. We talked to owners whoвЂ™ve been provided gold fillings, cup eyes, as well as a reproduction of NoahвЂ™s Ark crafted from popsicle sticks.
A 20-year veteran of this pawn store company, Rodriguez has seen their share of strange stuff: NCAA soccer national championship bands, 19th-century firearms, uncommon guitars, and $10k watches.
Overall, however, run-of-the-mill electronic devices and precious jewelry will be the most often pawned goods.
Whenever exercising what sort of loan to supply a client, a pawnbroker like Rodriguez will gauge the resale value associated with product and exactly how effortless it’ll be to offer just in case the master doesnвЂ™t return for it.
But making these judgments вЂ” specially with increased items that are unique could be very subjective. And thus, pawn stores will frequently offer you loan that is dramatically different.
The massive variance in pawn store provides
A platform where consumers post items online for pawn shops to bid on to better illustrate just how much pawn shop offers can vary, we decided to run a little experiment with the help of PawnGuru.
PawnGuru started by collecting 4 things:
- A 1-carat diamond (resale value: $2.5k)
- A 2005 Kawasaki 205R bike ($2k)
- A Louis Vuitton bag ($535)
- A 500GB PlayStation 4 ($175)
These items were taken by them to 4 pawn stores in Houston and asked to trade them set for financing. HereвЂ™s just just what the provides appeared to be:
At one store, they certainly were provided a $1.4k loan for the diamond; at another store simply in the future, the offer ended up being $200. ThatвЂ™s a 600% variance.
The bike (75% variance), bag (33%), and PS4 (46%) got offers in closer proximity вЂ” but also a significant difference of $25 to $100 in loan quantity could suggest realm of distinction for somebody residing from paycheck to paycheck.
We had been intrigued by this, therefore we decided to dig a little much much much deeper.
Making use of an example of 38k deals in the PawnGuru platform, we had been in a position to look at typical distinction between the greatest and cheapest loan provides by product.
View values vary wildly вЂ” particularly those in the higher-end. The average Cartier watch might get offers ranging from $3k to $825 depending on what pawn shop you visit with a 263% variance. Musical instruments (155%) and activities memorabilia (150%), both products with higher value that is sentimental/subjective additionally differ widely in offer quantity.
Brand-name electronic devices just like the ipad (51%) are better to rate and obtain more consistent provides.
SoвЂ¦ why will there be therefore variance that is much?
Exactly exactly exactly How can it be that a product could perhaps get 2 provides that are a huge selection of bucks aside? is certainly one pawn store simply greedier compared to the other?
Based on PawnGuruвЂ™s creator, Jordan Birnholtz, it comes down seriously to one of 3 things: Margins, money, and specialization:
- Pawn shops have extremely profit that is different goals.
- Pawn stores operate with extremely various degrees of liquidity.
- Pawn stores focus on different sorts of things.
Pawn shops base a loan offer, to some extent, from the cash it shall make if it’s to offer the item вЂ” but stores are typical throughout the board using their profit return objectives, and there’snвЂ™t a regular on the market. At a sizable string like EZCorp, the gross margin on product sales is just about 38%; at a little store, it could be nearer to 50%.
The biggest element, though, is the fact that pawn stores have actually various specialties.
A store with specific knowledge in firearms may not give an educated offer on a Cartier view, in the same way a store run with a master jeweler might perhaps perhaps not understand what heвЂ™s looking at whenever a 1950s Fender Stratocaster comes through the entranceway. Birnholtz claims that
20% for the pawn stores in their community wonвЂ™t take harder-to-price designer clothes.
Principal Street Pawn Shop, in Pontiac, Michigan, is filled with material which range from saxophones to plaster clowns
Doling out that loan on an item of security such as for instance electric electric guitar or a classic book that is comic a determined risk, but itвЂ™s mitigated by the truth that the overwhelming almost all pawned things are reclaimed.
Eventually payday loans Ohio, itвЂ™s into the interest that is best of a pawnbroker to locate a loan that actually works for his client, then work to make certain they obtain the product right back.
Rodriguez, the store owner in Houston, claims that 60% of their income arises from perform clients whom might bring into the exact same product 5 or 10 times each year and pay $15 interest onto it every time. This can be a far better outcome than attempting to sell the product in the shop, that might simply just take days and occupy valuable space on the floor.
Nevertheless the argument so you can get an item that is pawned in to the arms of the owner is not always solely about bucks and cents.
вЂњIf I’m sure an item means something special to a client, IвЂ™ll strive to have it returning to them,вЂќ says Rodriguez. вЂњEspecially if it is, like, a marriage band.вЂќ

A Mug Meet-Up & Market to celebrate Pi(e) Day will be held from 1-3 p.m. next Tuesday, March 14, at the Bay School Community Arts Center on Main Street in Mathews

Iran dismisses nuclear watchdog criticism on probe delay
Iran on Tuesday rejected criticism from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that it has been delaying a probe into suspected nuclear activities.
"We have no plans to produce weapons and all of our
activities are for peaceful purposes and nothing is
wrong," Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi told
reporters in Istanbul, Turkey.
"We are quite transparent and have decided to cooperate
fully with IAEA and the international community," he said.
On Tuesday, Europe's major powers floated a fine-tuned
draft resolution at an IAEA meeting in Vienna, Austria.
It rebukes Iran for delaying an investigation into its suspected nuclear activities but refrains from direct threats of sanctions.
"So far, many issues have been verified. There are minor
issues that (are) still under consideration," Kharrazi said.
"We don't have any concerns. Everything is transparent and
we will continue our cooperation."
Kharrazi is in Istanbul to attend a meeting of the foreign
ministers of Islamic countries. (Albawaba.com)

Abdulrazaq was born in the city of Lagos located in the southwest region of Nigeria and grew up in the city of Maiduguri.. Known locally as Yerwa, the city nears the border of both Chad and Cameroon by less than 100 miles. The city’s name derives from an Arabic expression meaning “quenching the thirst” due to the nearby waterways. Once the capital of the Bornu Kingdom, the city became a military headquarters under British colonialism. Today, the city plays a significant role in Nigeria’s agricultural and livestock trade market and is a historic Muslim pilgrimage route from Senegal to Mecca.
The mixed media artist is a self-taught expressionist whose works reflect societal catastrophes through the use of acrylic, pencil, charcoal and burnt newspaper. A graduate in Urban and Regional Planning, he used the disciplines learned in his college studies and applied them to his works, along with the confluences of his childhood memories and art history. Recognized for his signature style that’s a form of invitation that grants access to the lives of people living in displaced landscapes, Abdulrazaq uses the notion of tragedy as a way to reconstruct.
In his own words: “I was born in Nigeria. My home is revered for many great things. Regrettably, we received the dark cloud as incidentally being the birthplace of the Boko Haram insurgency in 2009. I look to move and remove this cloud that has hovered for far too long. I have a precocious interest in all forms of artistic expression. Through the use of materials found throughout Africa, I look to awaken the spirit of peace that has been occupied with destruction and violence.”

So yesterday me and josh decided to branch out and try cooking something different. After a few searches on Pinterest I came across a recipe for sweet potato and kale chilli. As I rarely follow a recipe, I amended it and added in some extras, so I thought I would share the recipe with you all! This was a delicious, easy vegan meal perfect for that midweek lack of imagination that I always struggle with! So here it is …
3/4 medium sweet potatoes, cubed
1 onion, chopped
1tsp garlic purée
1 red pepper, sliced
1 tin of kidney beans
1 tin of baked beans
1 tin of chopped tomatoes
A couple of handfuls of kale
1 teaspoon of cumin
1 teaspoon of chilli powder (or more if you like it extra spicy!)
I am blessed and have a slow cooker, so I just prepped all my ingredients and threw them in, leaving it to cook for around 3/4 hours while I carried on with my uni work!
If you don’t have a slow cooker just fry off your sweet potato, onions and garlic, and then add in the rest of your ingredients! It’s that easy!
Let me know if you give this a try or if you like any other similar recipes!

Sad to say, its rained or we've been fogged in every single day since Summer Solstice/Father's Day. The fog was chilly, and often we get big winds here. The dc are getting a little stir-crazy, which is especially discouraging since it is supposed to be summer here. Usually we like to get to some celebration for Canada Day, but the weather isn't looking very co-operative in that department. Bummer!
I've been taking in lots of the Raw Mom Summit, and enjoying quite a few speakers even though we come with different philosophies of origins and life forces, etc. But I am encouraged by many of them. It's been a bit much, and I've chosen to skip a few speakers all together, or glean tidbits here and there as I tried to 'fast-forward' best I could. I admit, my family hasn't functioned as well this week while mom has spent more hours with a headset on. I think I'm done now, although there's another day or two left.
I asked Danaka to venture out in the pouring rain this morning to pick some wild strawberry leaves, and she was followed by Anders. We made a small batch of infusion and drank it all up this afternoon. She's got another mason jar steeping for the night. I learned about infusions by Susun Weed this week on the Summit, and it is definitely something I want to start doing in this pregnancy right away once I get my herbs ordered and delivered. She was comparing the calcium content one would get from making a nettle tea (5mg) to a nettle infusion (250mg), and it seems like a no-brainer way of getting vitamins and minerals in an easily utilized way, and cheaper than supplements.
I'm working back into doing more reading aloud with the dc. I always enjoy doing that. There were many, many days that I'd read for 4 or more hours to Layne and Rauchelle, even days I'd start to lose my voice. We so enjoyed traveling to nether-lands with each other, living lives very unlike our own. I want to do that more and more with these 'younger dc', but there's always those who are left wandering around, having nobody to play with **** because their playmates are listening to mom read. But, somehow we'll work through this.
A few weeks back we received 'The Story About Ping' through bookmooch.com (we used to own it, and now we do again!) and it has become Anders' favorite now. Honestly, I'm glad we've moved past 'Madeline'. That one personally wears on me after just a couple of readings.
Well, just wanted to let you know we are alive way over here on the island hanging out in the Atlantic! I'm wanting to share about the fourth single word the Lord spoke to me last year as I really began this new journey with Him. In many ways, the final word (well, I know He's got more words for me, but the lessons at that time were limited to 4 simple words, one at a time) encompasses them all. Maybe I'll get some quiet time later tonight, or sometime tomorrow to process my thoughts somewhat cohesively!
****Toveli said to me last year "I wish we had more kids in the family, 'cause there's never anybody to play with".
Question for You: Do you get tired easily of reading the same children's books over and over again?

Do you have a second Refrigerator?
Do you have a second refrigerator in your garage or basement? If so, it's got plenty of company. About 30 percent of American households have a second refrigerator, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, a number that's doubled over the last 20 years.
That's not cool when you consider that more than half of these devices are 10 years old or older, and very inefficient by today's standards. While technology advances have made today's refrigerators more efficient than ever, the growing trend of homeowners buying a new model and keeping the old is negating those efficiency gains.
Flip that fridge
If you have a second refrigerator, get rid of it. It'll free up space in your home and on your energy bills. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that you can can save up to 1,200 kWh a year, or about $155 in annual energy costs, by removing and not replacing a second refrigerator.
When you send that extra fridge packing, make sure it's recycled properly. About 95 percent of a refrigerator parts can be recycled and used to make other products. How do you recycle a refrigerator? The EPA's Responsible Appliance Disposal (RAD) program provides some tips. Of the more than 9 million refrigerators and freezers disposed of in the U.S. each year, only about 10 percent of are managed under RAD guidelines.
Reach for the ENERGY STAR
If you're looking for a new fridge, make sure it's ENERGY STAR® certified. ENERGY STAR refrigerators are about 10 percent more efficient than standard models. Use the Savings Calculator to find out exactly how much money you'll save by replacing your existing refrigerator.

In the last three years, more than 350 scientific articles have been published that refute the idea that our planet is suffering from a warming that is unusual in the modern era, caused by the action of men.
In 2017 and 2018 alone, documented evidence was presented in more than 250 articles in scientific journals that cast doubt on the theory of the controversial “global warming,” according to researcher Kenneth Richard’s compilation.
But the number has grown since then, with dozens of other studies added in 2019, some of which even estimate that temperatures were several degrees Celsius higher some 10,000 years ago.
With so many studies and graphs, Richards questioned the concept spread by the media and authorities that the Earth is going through a dramatic stage, since the reports reflect that the different regions of our planet have suffered continuous cycles of warming, and also of cooling, during the recent decades.
Some areas reflected marked trends in one direction or another, while others showed no significant changes in the last 150 years.
In other words, there is “increasingly provided documentation that there is nothing historically unprecedented or remarkable about today’s climate when viewed in the context of long-term natural variability,” Richards concluded.
The polar bear as an indicator of biological richness
It’s worth noting that Susan Crockford, zoologist and author of the new book “The Polar Bear Catastrophe That Never Happened,” said in an interview with Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson that the message being repeated by the media for two decades that alleged “global warming” is driving polar bears to extinction has no scientific basis.
“The original proclamation of polar bears becoming extinct or being threatened with extinction back in 2007 was that polar bears were raised and used as an icon for global warming. And it became an important talisman for the whole movement,” the zoologist said.
Despite the climate alert, “The polar bear population seems to have quadrupled,” Carlson said. “Overpopulation is now the problem,” she added.
It should be noted that polar bears are at the top of the Arctic food chain, and since the population of the top predator is multiplying no one would hesitate to claim, based on the logic learned in school, that the ecosystem’s wildlife is in extraordinary health.
Numerous voices, including that of a former president of Green Peace, denounced “global warming” as a worldwide scam worth millions, based on the two main drivers of man: fear and guilt.
