You can call them Zaphyr, it sounds like the gem. They are currently a senior at El Rancho High School and a second-year member of the El Rodeo staff. Their spunky energy catches everyone’s attention with their 80’s dad look. You can also probably spot them out with their slenderman stature. They’re also the weeb no one asked for. Just kidding they aren’t THAT cringey, but if you need an anime, they can recommend it. When they are not spending hours locked away in their room watching anime, they enjoy expressing their creative side through art. You can always catch them drawing on their schoolwork and sketchbook they carry everywhere with them. They also have a deep love for the ocean and especially a creature within it. They are a little obsessed with sharks and collects anything shark related. They can tell you some interesting facts about sharks if you ask them, but they may be a little rusty.

The Ultimate Guide to Grill Thermometers: Types, Features, and Tips
Are you a Grillardian who loves to cook up a storm on your grill? If so, then you know that achieving the perfect temperature is key to creating mouthwatering dishes. That's where a grill thermometer comes in handy. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the different types of grill thermometers available, their features, and provide you with some helpful tips to elevate your grilling game.
Why Do You Need a Grill Thermometer?
Before we dive into the types of grill thermometers, let's first understand why they are essential for any grilling enthusiast. A grill thermometer allows you to accurately measure the internal temperature of your food while it cooks. This ensures that your meats are cooked to perfection, eliminating the guesswork and reducing the risk of undercooked or overcooked meals.
The Different Types of Grill Thermometers
1. Instant-Read Thermometers
Instant-read thermometers are the most common and versatile type of grill thermometer. As the name suggests, they provide instant temperature readings when inserted into the food. These thermometers are perfect for checking the doneness of steaks, burgers, chicken breasts, and other thin cuts of meat.
2. Leave-In Thermometers
Leave-in thermometers, also known as probe thermometers, are designed to be inserted into the food before it goes on the grill. They have a long probe that remains in the meat throughout the cooking process, allowing you to monitor the temperature without having to open the grill lid. Leave-in thermometers are ideal for slow-cooking large cuts of meat, such as brisket or pork shoulder.
3. Wireless Thermometers
Wireless thermometers offer convenience and flexibility by allowing you to monitor the temperature of your grill and food from a distance. These thermometers consist of a transmitter that stays near the grill and a receiver that you can carry with you. Some wireless thermometers even come with smartphone apps, so you can monitor your grill temperature from anywhere.
4. Infrared Thermometers
Infrared thermometers use infrared technology to measure the surface temperature of your grill or food. They are non-contact thermometers, meaning you don't have to insert a probe into the food. Infrared thermometers are great for quick temperature checks and can also be used to measure the heat distribution across your grill.
Features to Consider
When choosing a grill thermometer, there are several features to consider:
- Temperature Range: Ensure that the thermometer can measure the desired temperature range for your cooking needs.
- Accuracy: Look for thermometers with high accuracy to ensure precise temperature readings.
- Speed: Instant-read thermometers should provide quick temperature readings within seconds.
- Probe Length: For leave-in thermometers, consider the length of the probe to ensure it can reach the center of your food.
- Wireless Range: If opting for a wireless thermometer, check the range to ensure it covers the distance you need.
Tips for Using a Grill Thermometer
Now that you know about the different types of grill thermometers and their features, here are some tips to help you make the most out of your grill thermometer:
- Calibrate Your Thermometer: To ensure accuracy, calibrate your thermometer regularly using the ice water or boiling water method.
- Proper Placement: Insert the probe into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding bones and fat, for accurate readings.
- Don't Rely on Time Alone: Use the thermometer to determine the doneness of your food rather than relying solely on cooking time.
- Keep It Clean: Clean your thermometer after each use to prevent cross-contamination and ensure accurate readings.
- Follow Safe Temperature Guidelines: Familiarize yourself with the recommended safe internal temperatures for different types of meat.
With the right grill thermometer in hand and these tips in mind, you'll be able to take your grilling skills to the next level. So, fire up your grill and get ready to impress your friends and family with perfectly cooked meals every time!

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a government-issued permit that allows a business to continue operating (GST). Taxes are collected and paid in a systematic manner at all levels of the supply chain. Businesses must also obtain a GST registration certificate from the government and display it on their premises in order to comply with the GST laws. The certificate is a crucial document that verifies an entity’s registration under the GST Act.
The basics of the GST registration certificate, how to download it, its benefits, the procedure for making adjustments, components, forms, and more are covered in this article.
What is a GST Registration Certificate, and how do I get one?
GST certificates are official documents provided by the Indian government that are lawful and authorised. They are used to prove that you are registered under the GST Act.
The following are some of the reasons why a GST registration certificate is both required and beneficial to taxpayers:
- The certificate is a legally binding document in India. Companies with a revenue over the threshold level (of 40 lakhs) are obliged to have a GST registration certificate, which they must display on their premises. If this isn’t done, the company will be subject to a penalty under the GST laws.
- The official GST website is where business owners can apply for a GST registration certificate. Because the Indian government does not print the certificate, it can only be obtained from the official website.
- A registration certificate is supplied to taxpayers who register using the GST REG-06 Form. The taxpayers listed on this form are GST TCS or GST TDS applicants who must get a unique identification number under Section 25 (9) of the Central GST (CGST) Act.
- In India, a certificate issued to a regular taxpayer has no validity or expiration date. It will stay valid until the taxpayer or the authorities cancel it. The GST registration certificate is valid for 90 days and is given to casual taxpayers. After the specified time period, the certification will become invalid. The taxpayer, on the other hand, can seek for a certificate extension.
The GST Registration Certificate’s Components
The GST Registration Certificate is made up of the following components:
- Taxpayer’s GSTIN
- The company’s name
- Type of business (such as company, partnership, proprietorship, etc.)
- Address of the business
- Date of Liability
- Period of validity
- Type of GST registration
- Details required by the approving authority, such as a digital signature
What is a GST Registration Certificate’s Validity?
The GST registration certificates issued to ordinary taxpayers by the GST administration do not have an expiration date. The certificate will not expire unless the taxpayer or the agency cancels it.
Furthermore, the certificate is valid for 90 days in the case of non-residents of India or non-taxpayers. By applying before the expiration date, the certificate holder can extend the validity of the registration certificate.
Who is responsible for issuing the GST Registration Certificate?
The Goods and Services Tax Network sends taxpayers and businesses their GST registration certificates electronically (GSTN). A certificate is only legitimate if it has been granted by the GST Act, which is verified by the network to prevent future issues. The information given in Form GST REG-06 is used by the department to verify the taxpayer:
- Trade Name of the Company
- Legal Name of the Company
- GST Registration Types
- The company’s primary location
- Locations of Other Businesses
The Different Ways to Get a GST Registration Certificate
You can receive a GST certificate from the GSTN in a number different ways:
- Through the official GST portal, you can apply for a GST registration certificate. The GST certificate registration will be finalized once the authorities accept the application.
- The GST registration certificate will be valid for the duration of the accountability period. It is only valid if the application was submitted within 30 days of the eligibility date. However, if you apply late, the GST certificate registration is only valid for the time it is issued.
- The bank account information can be added later. However, the bank account must be linked within 45 days of the last day of Form GSTR – 3B completion or registration.

HOUMA -- A sometimes-heated exchange ensued Monday night between members of the parish's largest volunteer fire department and the 911 dispatchers who serve them.
The debate indicates that the months-long squabble between the two groups over dispatching services is far from over.
The disagreement was underscored when the board that oversees the Bayou Cane Volunteer Fire Department voted to seek a state attorney general's opinion to find out if it's legal for the communications district to charge for its services.
Voting in favor of the measure were Tony Indovina, Billy Hebert, K.H. "Doc" Wright and Amy Gautreaux. Tommy Beeson, the board's fifth member, did not attend the meeting.
The disagreement first surfaced late last year when the Fire Department's board refused to pay its dispatch service bill.
The department claims the 911 system provides poor service and takes too long to dispatch calls.
Emergency 911 officials dispute those contentions.
Board members paid the overdue bill after the Terrebonne Parish Council mediated the dispute, and the two sides agreed to iron out their differences.
All seemed well until Monday night, when the panel unanimously agreed to ask the state office if it's legal for 911 to charge them.
The quarrel is over the approximately $13,000 the department pays each year for fire-dispatch services.
Parish residents pay a monthly fee through their telephone bills for 911 service.
Residential customers pay 62 cents, business customers pay $1.67 per each line up to 100 lines and cellular telephone customers pay 85 cents each month.
That money is used to buy and maintain equipment and to pay the salaries of those who handle 911 calls.
Fire dispatch is an additional service the agency provides and for which it charges, said Mark Boudreaux, 911's executive director.
When a call for help comes in, the dispatcher determines the problem and transfers the call to the appropriate agency. If the caller is reporting a fire, however, the dispatcher stays in contact with authorities for the duration of the call -- whether it's 10 minutes or 10 hours -- and helps coordinate emergency workers' efforts.
Boudreaux says the extra service costs about $162,000 a year. The 911 district absorbs half the bill; the rest is split among the parish's 15 fire districts.
The bills are based on the size of the district's population, he said. Houma pays the biggest share of about $18,000. Bayou Cane has the next largest portion.
Debate over the bill was followed by a back-and-forth argument between Boudreaux, Bayou Cane Fire Superintendent Jerry Gautreaux, volunteer firefighters and dispatchers.
Gautreaux waved papers he said were survey cards received from Bayou Cane residents. Many of those who called 911 and filled out the cards wrote that it took four to six minutes for firefighters to arrive. Others said it took seven minutes or more.
Gautreaux blamed the delay on dispatchers he says stayed on the telephone with callers too long before they paged firefighters.
Gautreaux wants dispatchers to determine the emergency first, alert emergency workers and then get details about what happened.
Boudreaux said the problem could as easily be because firefighters were slow to respond to the dispatchers. He says his dispatchers sometimes have to spend time on the phone because the caller is distraught or not sure what exactly is wrong.
The two agency heads were interrupted by firefighters and dispatchers who said the problems and publicity surrounding them is preventing them from doing their jobs to the best of their ability.
The two sides didn't solve their differences, but agreed to work at them a little more.
The Terrebonne Parish Fire Chiefs Association devised the regulations that the dispatchers work under. If those rules aren't satisfactory, board Chairman Billy Hebert suggested that that panel revise them.

Fulvic acid supplement pills, humic acid natural product minerals, nutrients, from soil
August16 2017 by Ray Sahelian, M.D.
Humic substances are named as humic acid, fulvic acid
or humin and are dark brown constituents of soil. No major distinct divisions
exist between humic acids, fulvic acids and humins.
I can only find very little research on this topic.
BMC Complement Altern Med. 2015. Fulvic acid attenuates homocysteine-induced cyclooxygenase-2 expression in human monocytes.
BMC Oral Health. 2013. Investigating the biological properties of carbohydrate derived fulvic acid (CHD-FA) as a potential novel therapy for the management of oral biofilm infections. A number of oral diseases, including periodontitis, derive from microbial biofilms and are associated with increased antimicrobial resistance. Despite the widespread use of mouthwashes being used as adjunctive measures to control these biofilms, their prolonged use is not recommended due to various side effects. Therefore, alternative broad-spectrum antimicrobials that minimise these effects are highly sought after. Carbohydrate derived fulvic acid (CHD-FA) is an organic acid which has previously demonstrated to be microbiocidal against Candida albicans biofilms, therefore, the aims of this study were to evaluate the antibacterial activity of CHD-FA against orally derived biofilms and to investigate adjunctive biological effects. Overall, CHD-FA was shown to possess broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, with a supplementary function of being able to down-regulate inflammation. These properties offer an attractive spectrum of function from a naturally derived compound, which could be used as an alternative topical treatment strategy for oral biofilm diseases. Further studies are required to determine the precise mechanism by which CHD-FA modulates the host immune response.
Fulvic acid supplement questions
Q. Can you tell me your thoughts on fulvic acid supplements please? I noticed you donít offer it for sale. Any known side effects or risks in taking this product? Can it effectively remove toxic metals from ones system?
A. I have not studied fulvic acid benefits or side effects in any great detail.
Q. It's seems that
humic / fulvic acid is one of the
latest miracle cures. Do you have any reliable research showing any real
A. As of 2017, I am not aware of any human studies done in Western countries with humic or fulvic acid supplements.
And what about
Fulvic acid for nutrient absorption? Do you think it works? What dosage?
I have not seen studies that show it to enhance absorption.

Between 1,200 and 1,500 theatrical artists, administrators and board members from around the country are in Dallas on Thursday through Saturday. That’s when the Theatre Communications Group, the national service organization for professional nonprofit theaters, holds its national conference downtown.
Margo Jones launched the American regional theater movement in a tiny building in Dallas’ Fair Park in 1947. Today, Dallas theater is grander in scale and infinitely varied, but it still has the same enterprising spirit.
After Jones’ untimely accidental death, civic leaders banded together to invite Paul Baker to found the Dallas Theater Center. They also hired Frank Lloyd Wright to build it a home -- still in use today as the Kalita Humphreys Theater. Four years ago, however, the city opened a still more innovative space for the company, the Wyly Theatre, part of the AT&T Performing Arts Center and a crowning touch to the sprawling downtown Arts District.
Jones was a pioneer of theater in the round, and that legacy survives particularly in Dallas. The city’s second-oldest theatrical institution, Theatre Three, performs in the round. Many other spaces in the city, including the Wyly, are black boxes frequently reconfigured in imaginative ways to serve individual directors’ visions.
Baker, although he has had five successors as the Theater Center’s artistic directors, including the incumbent, Kevin Moriarty, is also still a heavily felt presence in Dallas. His daughter and an original member of the Theater Center company, Robyn Flatt, founded and still runs Dallas Children’s Theater, named one of the top family theaters in America by Time magazine. During Baker’s tenure, the Theater Center offered graduate training for professionals, and alumni are still prominent in arts organizations all over the city and the world.
Southern Methodist University has also trained a prodigious number of theater artists who have thrived both locally and nationally, including Pulitzer Prize and Oscar winners like Beth Henley and Kathy Bates. Other area colleges and universities have also produced and nourished notable actors, designers and writers.
Dallas likes things big but cherishes things small and unusual, as well. Two glossy presenting series, the Dallas Summer Musicals and the Lexus Broadway Series, compete to bring in Broadway tours. The original and the experimental also thrive in Dallas. Undermain Theatre is one of America’s top avant-garde theater companies, with connections to playwrights all over the country. Kitchen Dog Theater, part of the National New Play Network, offers sharp productions of original plays and other challenging recent scripts, as does the newer Second Thought Theatre.
Some of the best work in North Texas takes place in the suburbs and Fort Worth. Lyric Stage in Irving occupies a unique niche in the American musical theater: Almost all its productions enjoy the lavish accompaniment of a large pit orchestra. In addition to the new works and unusual revivals the company built its reputation on, Lyric now mounts extraordinary productions of standard musicals.
WaterTower Theatre uses its beautifully designed black box in Addison for ambitious seasons of plays and musicals.
Fort Worth sees excellent productions of new works and standard repertory at Stage West, Circle Theatre, Jubilee Theatre and the up-and-coming Amphibian Stage Productions. In the summertime, Fort Worth’s indoor Trinity Shakespeare Festival is a worthy rival to Dallas’ outdoor Shakespeare Dallas.
North Texas theater as a whole excels at diversity. African American Repertory Theatre as well as Fort Worth’s Jubilee specializes in the work of black playwrights. Teatro Dallas has a long history of producing Mexican and Latin American playwrights seldom seen elsewhere in the United States, while Cara Mia Theatre Company has recently come back strong by creating new work by local Hispanic artists. Uptown Players offer plays and musicals with gay and lesbian themes in award-winning productions, and Echo Theatre produces only work written by women.
The biggest trends in Dallas theater both involve new work. Under Kevin Moriarty, the Theater Center has been involved in several productions that have gone on to New York, including multiple Drama Desk nominee for 2013 Giant. Other local companies have been taking new work to New York as well, including Project X: Theatre’s Diamond Dick, part of a marathon cycle by Erik Ehn.
Equally exciting to local audiences, a whole group of theaters has erupted in the last few years specifically to create and show off their own original work. Matthew Posey’s dark vision has permeated most of the astonishing new plays at Ochre House, only a couple of blocks from Margo Jones’ original venue. But other companies like Dead White Zombies, MBS Productions and Nouveau 47, named to honor Jones’ legendary company, are also ambitious in creating original pieces. Individual performance artists have been creating outstanding original work here for years, as well. Fred Curchack is such an artist of world rank.
Of course, Fort Worth’s Hip Pocket Theatre has been doing turning out entire seasons, mostly of completely original pieces, for more than 35 years – outdoors in the heat of the Texas summer. You can’t say that Texans lack grit and perseverance, in theater or whatever they try to do.
What to watch
The Theater Center is between productions as it serves as a host for the Theatre Communications Group conference, but there is plenty of other characteristic local work to sample. Here is a taste:
Kitchen Dog Theater’s Se Llama Cristina is part of a rolling world premiere of a play by former Dallasite Octavio Solis.
Undermain Theatre has revived its magnificent fall hit An Iliad, directed by Katherine Owens and starring Bruce DuBose.
African American Repertory Theater has a great way with the plays of August Wilson, with an excellent Fences now on display.
One of the highlights of Dallas theatrical summers is always the Festival of Independent Theatres in the Bath House Cultural Center on beautiful White Rock Lake. Eight productions by different companies such as Echo Theatre and WingSpan Theatre Company rotate in repertory, two at a time.
Theatre Three’s revival of City of Angels hasn’t begun previews yet, but its long-running basement production of Avenue Q is way more entertaining than the national tour.
One of Dallas best directors, Rene Moreno, staged A.R. Gurney’s Black Tie for WaterTower Theatre.
Ochre House’s Good Nuts is a satirical comedy, rather than one of Matthew Posey’s meditations on fame and death.
The Dreamers: A Bloodline is the first part of an original trilogy on immigration created by the ensemble of Cara Mia Theatre Company.
Second Thought Theatre is previewing Rajiv Joseph’s Gruesome Playground Injuries, but the premiere of his new musical Fly doesn’t land at the Dallas Theater Center until next month.

|Today I join my fellow bloggers in|
"serving up a slice" to the March SOLSC
sponsored by Two Writing Teachers.
Today as I scan the slicers who have already posted, I stop at Reading to the Core's post, intrigued by the words, "One stamp at a time." I stamp student slices during the month, so my immediate thought is - That's how you write all month, one slice and one stamp at a time. My next thought is - I need to get some special stamps for our month of slicing. Those ubiquitous stamp stands have all but disappeared, but I know of one stamp store in our local mall. I'll put it on my list to stop by there today.
I click on Catherine's post and discover that "one stamp at a time" is a journey in time to her 10-year old hobby as a philatelist. I read the post, meander a bit through some of Catherine's recent posts, and find ideas for two more posts - all from clicking on one link.
So my answer to the query of how on earth will we find enough to write about every day is simple. Read some slices and give yourself time to meander. Be sure to keep your writer's notebook beside you so you can jot down the paths that you'll journey as you read a few words. You'll be amazed at the words that will trigger memories and ideas as you allow yourself to meander through March!
I love your use of "meander" as a source of inspiration for slices! Words are so important and the reminder to keep my notebook beside me will be important!
If someone collected all the different slices with advice for writers, we could have a collective sol handbook. Even though the advice may be similar to all writing handbooks, it somehow is more meaningful coming from fellow slicers. Would the students listen? Maybe if they started to share their learning from sol experience and giving advice to each other. Happy writing to you and your students.ReplyDelete
Meander is a great word. I have days that I, too, meander among the slices in order to find inspiration. How fortunate that there is such great food for fodder out here!ReplyDelete
Meandering through slices is the best idea generator, isn't it Ramona...so, here we go!ReplyDelete
What fun - meandering through slices since I can't meander through the flowers. (Way to much snow here) and yes I love the ideas and information I get as I meander.ReplyDelete
I love that word meander, and such a good tip for your students. I really want mine to do this work but feel they have a hard time working though the units of study. Slicing would have to be homework. So maybe that stamp think would work for my kiddos. Thanks for making me think.ReplyDelete
So many ideas, so little time to write. So much inspiration out there.ReplyDelete
So happy my meandering took me through your slice as inspiration is blooming all the way through!ReplyDelete
I love meandering through these comments as well! I really like Terje's idea! Can't wait to read more about your ideas during this month.ReplyDelete
I am loving the time to meander today...looking forward to the whole month!ReplyDelete
Exactly true, Ramona! I keep a pad of paper by me as I meander & write down ideas constantly. How nice of you to share this with everyone. Now I can't wait to read Catherine's post!ReplyDelete
As I read the beginning of your post, I was nodding in agreement about meandering. As I continued reading, I was so surprised to see my name and your reference to my post! I'm so glad it inspired you. I'm constantly inspired by the amazing writing shared in everyone's slices. Thank you so much for sharing!ReplyDelete
Ramona- Can't even count how many times someone else's post has inspired me or given me an idea for a new slice! Great advice for all of us, but especially for our new slicers! I'm going to refer my Welcome Wagon people to this slice today. Thanks!ReplyDelete
This is the second post/comment I have read in about 15 minutes that mentioned reading these with a notebook in hand. I think that is good advice I need to heed! I am off to retrieve it and capture ideas from the remaining posts I want to read.ReplyDelete
Love your post - discovered it from Day 11's inspiration post of yours and was intrigued to check out this post. love the last verse especially. I am going to follow your advice!ReplyDelete

For some of us, a certain fourteenth-century poem will forever be entwined with the memory of a certain 1975 movie.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail, for all its flights into full-blown silliness, was grounded in a thorough knowledge and obvious affection for its Arthurian source material, including Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, an epic poem of uncertain authorship. For this reviewer, the next stage of awareness came a few years later when the poem was an early item on the first-year, non-elective English literature syllabus at university, where a classroom of late-adolescents had life priorities that, alas, didn’t easily allow for the close study of medieval alliterative verse.
What finally provided the key was hearing The Pogues’ Shane MacGowan sing “The Sick Bed of Cuchulainn,” a twentieth-century-spanning drinking ballad that invoked the ancient Irish mythological figure whose exploits form a branch of the Arthurian family tree. For at least one listener, the song was so stirring that it felt all but imperative to get to grips, at long last, with what inspired it.
Sasquatch and the Green Sash
Illustrated by Steve Adams
Henderson’s telling opens in the present-day Canadian North, in the domain of the Dene Nation. A Yuletide feast hosted by local bigwig Arthur LeMagne is disrupted by the uninvited arrival of “the most appalling figure, thickset, square, who in height outstripped all earthly men.” The apparition sets a dare: strike me your best blow with my best knife, but only if you’ll let me do the same to you after a year. Gavin McHenry, a melancholic young RCMP constable, takes him up on it, some would say foolishly. Thus begins a one-to-one clash of wits and brawn, set against a numinous Arctic backdrop and told in a rich narrative voice with just the right amount of Middle English seasoning. The sash of the title, gifted to Gavin by admiring maiden Ghylaine, is a piece of fabric with allegedly life-preserving properties. And, at this stage in a review, the no-spoiler statutes should be respected, even if the story is technically several hundred years old.
The finer points of the chivalric ideal can feel irretrievably lost to modern readers: among other things, its male-centric gender dynamics haven’t aged well. For that reason, a Sasquatch is an inspired choice of adversary – a legend recent enough in Canadian folklore to carry a frisson even into the cynical internet age. K. S. Whetter provides an introduction that does a handy job of placing both the original and Henderson’s re-jig within the Romantic tradition. Enhancing the book’s old-yet-new feel are the boy’s-adventure illustrations by Steve Adams and the use of a typographical font distinguished most notably by its frequent employment of a curlicue extending from the top of the lowercase t’s and p’s. The latter is a device that can stand for the whole project: at first its quirks distract, but you get used to it, and soon enough you barely notice it, too caught up in a well-told yarn to care much about anything else. And if, upon finishing, you should happen to feel moved to investigate or revisit the work of that anonymous ancient versifier, all the better. mRb

The Communist Party reacted to the abolition of the sentence to the deputy in the case of child molestation
The Communist Party of the Russian Federation welcomes the annulment of the sentence for molesting a child sentenced to 13 years in the Legislative Assembly of Primorye Artyom Samsonov, spokesman for the party Alexander Yushchenko said in an interview with the media. According to him, the case against the party member was fabricated.
“The party does everything to the maximum [возможное]. The case that was against Samsonov was absolutely fabricated. Even on certain little things it is absolutely far-fetched. All lawyers and all common sense talk about it. We insist on a review and will strive to ensure that there is a completely acquittal. The facts that are presented do not withstand any logical criticism. We applaud the work of our lawyers who ensured that he was placed under house arrest,” he said.
The Primorsky Regional Court overturned the sentence against Artem Samsonov. His preventive measure was changed, and now he is under house arrest. The case has been sent for retrial.
The verdict was handed down in September 2022. Samsonov was found guilty under Article 132 (“Other acts of a sexual nature using the helpless state of the victim, committed against a person under the age of 14”) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
According to investigators, a deputy on the territory of a recreation center in Vladivostok corrupted an 11-year-old child, showing him a dildo and talking about the purpose of this item. It was about the events of two years ago.
Artem Samsonov was detained in November 2021 on suspicion of pedophilia. The defendant did not admit his guilt, as a sign of disagreement with the investigative actions, he went on a hunger strike. Later, his defense asked to open a criminal case for giving false evidence against Samsonov, but this requirement was not satisfied.

Asus’s strong ZenBook line, aimed at creatives, has added a powerful laptop to the game: the dual-screen ZenBook Pro Duo. This machine shows some of the most thoughtful design on the market, including a new type of dual-screen layout that makes a lot of sense.
When closed it looks like any other laptop and has a concentric circle design etched into aluminium. The laptop feels sturdy on the base as well as the screen, and looks like it could withstand a drop. It’s 24mm thick and weighs around 2.5kg, so it seems pretty thick until one looks at the internals of this machine.
We had the Intel Core i7-9750H processor configuration but can come with an Intel Core i9-9980HK configuration. Both configurations come with Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060, with 6GB of GDDR6 VRAM. This makes this laptop more of a high-performance desktop with laptop features rather than a high-performance laptop.
When opening up this computer, we were greeted with a large 15.6” 4K (3840×2160) OLED panel and another 14” (3840 x 1100) 4K UHD display below that, called the ScreenPad Plus. Both screens are touchscreens, 100% DCI-P3, and are brighter than most laptops. As a result, the keyboard and trackpad have been shifted below the second screen. The lowered keyboard takes some getting used to, but is totally worth it for the second display.
The ScreenPad Plus comes with a set of its own apps, including Spotify, handwriting mode, and a few other quick settings. It comes with a stylus called the Asus Pen, which allows for 1024 pressure levels and rejects one’s palm, making it very useful for apps like Adobe Illustrator. The top screen supports that pen too, but writing feels far more natural on the ScreenPad Plus.
An ErgoLift hinge raises the computer up at an angle, to make the lowered keyboard more comfortable to type on, as well as aid the cooling system. It’s at a small 4.5 degrees tilt with this hinge that makes a huge difference in typing comfort.
On the left side, a USB-A port, a regular size HDMI 2.0 port and a proprietary charging jack. On the right side, it features a USB-A 3.1 port, Thunderbolt 3, and a 3.5mm audio jack. Both sides feature air outlet ports.
We tested Rise of the Tomb Raider at 1080p, with the RTX 2060, and set the game to its highest preset graphics settings. The game’s frame counter was used. It hovered between 70 and 75 frames per second (fps) with 10 minutes of gameplay, which is really good compared to most desktop computers.
The processor is a 6-Core 9th Generation Intel Core i7 CPU (i7-9750H), which provides snappy performance. We noted a start-up time from shutdown to desktop around 7 seconds. This was made possible by a combination of the fast processor and solid-state drive in the computer. This also makes opening programmes lightning fast.
Now for the trackpad. The off-centre trackpad placement feels a bit weird, even though we know why it’s placed that way. We found ourselves using an external mouse and using it in a very handy NumPad mode. The trackpad is extremely precise otherwise.
The laptop’s battery is 71 Wh, which may seem large, but it needs to power two big screens and heavy processors. As a result, it’s difficult to get more than 6 hours of productivity out of the machine. We played Rise of the Tomb Raider with both screens on for about 1 hour before we needed to charge it.
It will be available for about R48,000 (depending on when one buys it) in the Intel Core i7, 512GB SSD, and 16GB RAM configuration, putting it up there with the high-performance laptops in terms of price.

About Marc Vetri
Marc Vetri is the chef/founder of Philadelphia's critically acclaimed Vetri Cucina. In addition to his storied career in the kitchen, Marc is also the driving force behind the Vetri Community Partnership, a non-profit organization whose mission is to empower children and families through fresh food, hands-on experiences and education.
A Philadelphia native, Marc initially pursued a career as a guitarist before realizing his true passion came from cooking. Spending his formative professional kitchen life in Bergamo, Italy, working alongside some of the region's most noted chefs, Marc has become known the world over for bringing a bold, contemporary sensibility to classic Italian cooking. In 1998, he and business partner, Jeff Benjamin, opened the eponymous, fine-dining restaurant, Vetri Cucina, to universal acclaim. Vetri's outstanding pastas, innovative flavor combinations and artful presentations captured imaginations and propelled Marc to the culinary forefront. Within two years of the restaurant's debut, he was named one of Food & Wine's "Best New Chefs" and received the Philadelphia Inquirer's highest restaurant rating. In 2005, he was given the James Beard Award for "Best Chef Mid-Atlantic."
Following years of continued success at Vetri, Marc launched Osteria in 2007. Larger and more casual than Vetri, Osteria's menu of traditional Italian thin-crust pizzas, homemade pastas and wood-grilled meats and fish quickly won over the dining public.
Marc and The Vetri Family's third restaurant, Amis, opened its doors in 2010. Inspired by Rome's neighborhood trattorias, this intimate and energetic restaurant specializes in small plates such as handcrafted pastas and house-cured meats. In November 2010, Bon Appetit named Amis one of the top "10 Places for Pasta" in the country. Amis has since opened a second location in Westport, Connecticut, and expanded the brand to also include Bar Amis (formerly Lo Spiedo), located in Philadelphia's Navy Yard.
2013 saw the debut of Pizzeria Vetri, Marc's most casual eatery to date with two locations in Philadelphia, as well as an outpost in Washington D.C. (June 2016).
In addition to his beloved restaurants, Marc is the author of Il Viaggio di Vetri (Ten Speed Press, Oct. 1, 2008), a collection of more than 125 of Vetri Cucina's most-requested dishes. His second cookbook, Rustic Italian Food (Ten Speed Press, Nov. 1, 2011), brought artisan cooking into home kitchens and was named one of the top cookbooks of 2011 by Bon Appetit. In 2015 he released Mastering Pasta (Ten Speed Press, 2015), and his follow up, Mastering Pizza (Ten Speed Press) is due out in 2018.
Outside of his restaurants, Marc is deeply passionate about giving back to the community, in particular his hometown of Philadelphia. In 2009, he and Jeff Benjamin created the Vetri Community Partnership. The organization's signature initiative, "Eatiquette," is a school lunch improvement program currently serving the Philadelphia and Austin areas. Culinary classroom and after-school cooking programs overseen by Vetri Community Partnership further help reinforce lessons learned in the lunchroom. Marc and Jeff Benjamin are the founders of the "Great Chefs Event," which brings together scores of the country's greatest chefs to raise money and awareness for the pediatric cancer charity, Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.
In November 2015, Urban Outfitters Inc., a leading lifestyle specialty retail company joined forces with several of The Vetri Family restaurants including Amis, Bar Amis, Osteria, Pizzeria Vetri, and Alla Spina. Given their similar culture and vision, this successful partnership allows each of the companies to grow in new ways. After a successful transition period and advisory, Marc formally separated from the group in 2017.
Having rededicated himself to pushing culinary boundaries at Vetri Cucina, the restaurant is currently hosting a yearlong series of guest chef dinners with some of the most respected names in the industry, to mark their 20th anniversary. In late 2017, Vetri Cucina was re-reviewed by The Philadelphia Inquirer, maintaining its esteemed "Four Bell" rating, which notes the "graceful" evolution of the restaurant over the past two decades. Vetri Cucina was also welcomed into AAA's exclusive list of Five Diamond Restaurants in 2018.
2018 will bring an exciting new chapter for Vetri Cucina, as the restaurant looks towards its inaugural expansion at The Palms Las Vegas. The opportunity will introduce Marc and his cuisine to an entirely new group of diners, bringing an exciting ala carte aspect to the rustic Italian cuisine that Vetri Cucina has become so synonymous with.
Marc lives in Philadelphia with his wife, Megan, and their three children. He enjoys spending weekends cooking with his family, training in Brazilian jiu jitsu and playing his beloved guitars.

New Delhi, April 14
Behind the exchange of words on the state of human rights in each other’s countries between External Affair Minister S Jaishankar and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is a more intense battle being fought in the corridors of United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) as it prepares a report to be submitted to the US State Department on April 25.
Twice in past successive years, the USCIRF wanted the US State Department to treat India as a ‘Country of Particular Concern (CPC)’ which would bracket it with egregious human rights abusers such as China, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. And, both times two different US administrations have rejected its recommendation and kept India a rung below the Red List.
This time, the battle within USCIRF on the India chapter is more intense than in the past amidst insider accounts that one Commissioner has “been turned” and is understood to be insisting on several changes in the draft under preparation.
In a letter to USCIRF, several US-based civil rights and faith groups have asked it to withstand the pressure. “It is clear that those seeking to obfuscate the reality of India’s persecution of its religious minorities are now using intense lobbying and combative communication with the goal of preventing USCIRF from recommending India’s designation as a CPC for the third straight year,” said the letter.
“We have also learned that such pressure includes attempts to influence USCIRF Commissioners and officials to exclude even a mention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” it added.
On Wednesday, Jaishankar held a press conference in Washington to rebut Blinken’s comments a day earlier. Nationalist Congress Party has criticised the Government for the two Indian Ministers present at the press conference – Jaishankar and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh – not giving an on-the-spot rebuttal.
Stating that human rights issue was not a topic of discussion during the India-US 2+2 ministerial meeting, Jaishankar said people are entitled to have views about India but “we also take our views on other people’s human rights situation, including that of the US”.
Blinken had said a day earlier that the US is monitoring some recent “concerning developments” in India, including a rise in human rights abuses by some government, police and prison officials.

Tavener Conducts Tavener charts Cappella Nova's professional and personal connection with the celebrated composer Sir John Tavener, conducted by his cousin Alan Tavener.
Tavener wrote some of the twentieth century's most beautiful choral music; works such as The Whale and Song for Athene, which was sung at the funeral of Princess Diana, ensured he remained one of the most popular contemporary composers until his death in 2013. Including works from across the choir's twenty five year collaboration, this recording is bookended with choruses from the first piece Tavener ever wrote for Cappella Nova, Resurrection.
It also features nine premiere recordings including A Buddhist Miniature, commissioned to celebrate Cappella Nova's thirtieth anniversary in 2012, A Cradle Song and O that we were there! A brand new commission in memory of Tavener from his pupil and friend Ivan Moody, O isplendour, also receives its premiere here.
Ikon of the Nativity and Tavener's mesmerising and atmospheric Christmas hymn, The Lamb, with its beautiful simplicity and lush harmonies, lend a timely seasonal feel to the programme.

I hope every one’s holiday season is going well! Unfortunately I am late in posting my “how to” on creating the celtic weave christmas stocking that I crocheted for my brother’s family this year. However!, I did not forget to take pictures and notes to document the process, so that I may share with my fellow craftistas.
I quickly fell in love with this stitch as soon as I saw it! Although it was a pain! The end result is definitely worth it.
- Roughly 375 yards of worsted weight yarn. I used a skein and a half of Lion Brand’s Heartland yarn. Plus you will need enough to make the toe and heel in a separate color, good way to use up scraps.
- A small amount of fuzzy yarn for the cuff.
- 5mm hook – to crochet the celtic weave sections
- 6mm hook – to crochet the toe, heel, and cuff sections.
- Yarn needle
- ss: slip stitch
- sc: single crochet
- sctog: single crochet decrease
- scinc:single crochet increase
- hdc: half double crochet
- dc: double crochet
- dctog: double crochet together
- fptc: front post triple crochet
- bptc: back post triple crochet
The celtic weave stitch is quite tricky to explain so I will provide links to tutorials that I found useful when teaching myself this style.
- Charmed by Ewe: http://charmedbyewe.com/tutorial-how-to-crochet-the-diagonal-celtic-weave-in-rows/
- Meladora’s Creations for Crochet: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4WPeHkcK_-8
- BonnieBayCrochet: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jQV1aLrg588
Celtic Weave Sections
This stitch is worked in multiples of 4 +2 (and +3 if not using chainless turning stitch) and uses the 5mm hook
to further explain: multiples of 4 is for the celtic weave( In our case this is 4×13=52), +2 for 1 dc stitch on the edges of the row(54 stitches total), +3 for turning chain if not using chainless turning stitch.
For the main section of the stocking you will need to chain 54 and either chain 2 or do a chainless hdc and hdc into each chain for 54 hdc total. You can also do a foundation chain of 54 hdc’s, which is what I chose to do.
- Chainless Half Double Crochet Foundation Chain: http://www.mooglyblog.com/foundation-half-double-crochet/
- Chainless turning stitch: http://www.mooglyblog.com/chainless-starting-double-crochet/ .
Next, you will do a chain less turning stitch or a chain of 3 and do a dc into the first hdc. From here you will follow this pattern…*skip 2 stitches, fptc in next 2 stitches, fptc into skipped stitches* repeat til one stitch is left, dc.
- Note: When doing fptc you will cross IN FRONT of stitches made to skipped stitches, and when doing bptc you will cross BEHIND stitches made to skipped stitches.
- Note: Sometimes the skipped stitches can be difficult to see, in the above picture I have pointed out where they will be. Pink Arrows show the fptc skipped stitches and the blue show the bptc skipped stitches.
For the next row, chain 3 or do a chainless dc and dc into first stitch. Bptc into next 2 stitches. *skip 2 stitches, bptc in next 2 stitches, bptc in the 2 skipped stitches* repeat until 3 stitches remain, bptc in next 2 and dc into final stitch of row.
Repeat these two rows until you reach the desired height. Add 3 rows of dc and fasten off.
Use the same pattern for the foot part of the stocking, but slightly decrease the number of stitches from 54 to 50 and do not add the 3 rows of dc.
To sew the piece together overlap the dc’s on the ends of the rows and sew the edges together, use the “rows” on the back of the piece to weave and sew. Weave the ends of the yarn in once you are satisfied, like the style shown here.
Once the main section is sewn together use your 6mm hook add a layer of sc around the top in the fuzzy yarn, from here do 3 more rows following this pattern * dc in 3 stitches and dctog in next 2* around. Slip stitch around the inside so that the stocking will have a nice finished border once folded down.
To combine the main section to the foot, carefully sew only half way together. Be sure to sew so that the thread is not visible on the outside. Weave in the ends to secure.
- Note: Be sure to end the foot section on the bptc row so that the stitches fit together with the fptc’s of the main section.
Heel and Toe Sections
For the heel and toe you will need to make 2 of the following using the 6mm hook.
Chain 27, turn and sc in each chain. 26 sc total, chain 1 and turn. Continue the following pattern until you have 4 stitches left. *sctog in first 2 stitches, sc across until last 2 stitches, sctog in last 2, chain 1 and turn*
Once you have 4 stitches continue with this pattern. *scinc in first stitch, sc across to last stitch, scinc in last stitch, chain 1 and turn* once you reach 26 stitches again do 1 row of sc in each stitch. Leave enough yarn to sew the sides together, fasten off and sew the edges together.
Now that both pieces look like the above cute lil pouches you can begin to sew them onto the stocking. Turn the stocking inside out and sew the toe piece on. Weave stitch through each sc around.
Be Careful that the sewing yarn does not show through on the front.
This is how it should look on the inside(above picture), on the outside(below picture) of the stocking it should not appear(unless of course, you want a “stitched” look).
Next you will need to stitch on the heel, which can be a bit more tricky. For this part you will need to sew half of the heel onto the foot section and half onto the main section. I found that quickly adding a row of sc(in the same color as that section) onto the foot section before sewing on the heel made it easier, but this is a preference and can be skipped if you choose.
Now all that is left is to turn your stocking right side out, fold down the fluffy top and you’re done! If you want to add a loop to hang your stocking; take your leftover fluffy yarn, and chain 11, turn and sc across, fasten off and sew the loop onto your stocking.
I hope you really enjoy your stocking! and hopefully you found this tutorial helpful. If you do create this stocking be sure to tag it #cafedelcraft on Facebook, twitter, instagram, pinterest. I would LOVE to see your stocking! I may even feature it on our page.

It took me a long time to read this book. There is a lot to chew on in its pages, and a lot to challenge me towards action within my home and my person, within my community, and within the world at large. I plan to write a more reflective review hopefully in the next day or so, but for now, I just want to note a few things that were particularly interesting to me about this book.1) This is not just a book for Mennonites. Although it's clear from some of the cultural references and jargon (for la [...]
I read this on the plane home from Texas, with my new smart phone, and my Kindle for playing Fruit Ninja on (and reading a million books!) in my fancy Vera Bradley purse (but I got it for 15 dollars so it's ok right?) so my point is, why was I reading it? A couple of reasons -- first of all, we just got home from living out of two big suitcases in China for 4 months, and I'm overwhelmed by having access to my 12 ft truck's worth of STUFF again. So I really want to pare it down. Secondly, we're [...]
I have a lot of thoughts about this book. It is a fabulous, living giving work of many people full of compelling arguments and practical wisdom. I took a really long time to read this book, partly because I misplaced it but partly because I didn't want to find it again. Reading this book was not a comfortable experience for me. On the one hand, the Holy Spirit was there convicting me, speaking within me, reminding me of importance and relevance of what I was reading. My best friend's mother came [...]
I haven't looked at this book in eight years, but the fact that I still remember so vividly how much it annoyed me convinced me to write a review. I love Longacre's cookbook (the predecessor to this volume), and I bought this hoping for more practical ideas for living a simpler life. I was expecting some pontificating, since that is inevitable in these sorts of books, but a large part of the book consists of anecdotes built on the "All the evil consumers do X, but I do Y" model. One example stil [...]
While this is an excellent book with very useful information, I did not find it to be particularly helpful because I have been reading these types of books for at least the last 5 years. I am certain that this book was revolutionary when it was written, but this is not the case now.
This book had a lot of why, but also a lot of how. I was challenged to find ways to save resources within my own home. It's so easy to get complacent and just do things out of habit, like throw something alway instead of fix it, drive somewhere close by because it's quicker, and to consume consume consume. I hope I will break some habits and be more mindful of people who are without the things I take for granted.
I found this book at ten thousand villages while perusing the usual exciting knick knacks. I bought it not realizing that it was a Christian-themed environmentalism book, so I was a little perplexed by the introduction. Once I'd realized the target audience, I wasn't so confused.I think this book has a lot of nuggets of thought-provoking wisdom (even for non-Christians). I especially like the idea of 'nonconformity' in that it challenges the standard american ideals of excessive consumerism and [...]
My only issue with this book is that I am now curious as to what the original book was like as this barely seemed to have much by Doris Janzen Longacre, who wrote the original book in 1980. This book is mainly a compilation of more recent accounts of people and how they believe in sustainable living in order to help the creation God put His joy into (the earth, the air, the animals, and most of all the people). How can we help conserve energy or enjoy each other's company more by working togethe [...]
I did not realized when I picked this book up that it was meant for Mennonite Christians. I read it anyway and as several other reviewers have noted it is good to take this book in small sections, mull them over, see how it applies to your life.There is a very broad range of ideas. Some of the suggestions in this book don't even seem frugal to me, they sound like how normal people do things and not us weird conservation freaks. Others are way too extreme for me and a great many fall in the middl [...]
I thought I was getting a "Helpful Hints" book when I scooped this up at the library, but when The Syracuse Cultural Workers were mentioned early on ( a group which I am very familiar with and don't always agree with) I realized I was in a whole different sphere! The book is packed with thought provoking ideas instead of lists helpful hints (sort of what I was looking for! basic mindless hints!) , that's fine but it gets very serious so be prepared! It's mostly about how to live as a good Mennon [...]
Doris Longacre wrote the Living More with Less Cookbook in 1976, as part of her Mennonite Community work. This followup book was begun a few years later, but unfortunately Doris died of cancer before she could complete it herself. Others finished it for her and it was published in 1980. It was interesting on several perspectives. First, it had a world view, sharing not only how Americans could live more with less, but also how others, around the world regularly did. Second, in many ways it paral [...]
An updated version of Doris Janzen Longacre's classic. Reading it confirmed how much living more with less is already a way of life for me--I certainly don't have to try hard to take a sabbatical from air travel for 6 months! Or to beat eggs with a fork instead of an electric mixer since I don't have an electric mixer anyway! These and some of the other ideas in this book are already second-nature to me, and yet there is also enough to make me reflect on my life--can I do without the car one day [...]
I also read and own the 1980 version of this book. Happily I also attend a group where we read and share about these topics in person, because the details of the way we live are too easy to ignore or belittle. My group started out reading the chapter on "Money and Stewardship" and, so far, whenever later topics do not spark conversation, we return to money. Money dependably brings up those topics we need to air, confess or question. Insurances, Bank accounts, Car habits, spending on this or that [...]
It was actually the 20th anniversary addition. It was a good reminder of how to live more simply but reading it with a woman who talked a lot about doing things to the extreme but was the laziest person I knew kind of ruined it for me. I appreciated the author reminding the reader that these are only examples and that just because you don't do them doesn't mean that you are a horrible human being. The book was just a reminder that we are fortunate and can do more to make sure everyone gets what [...]
What an incredible book. Written from the perspective of a Mennonite. Sole focus is about making a conscious choice to do more with less. Tons of ideas for everyday life. Non-Mennonites (like me) can still gain from reading. We in our household already live fairly simply, but this book takes it to an entirely different level. A quote that really tells this book's story: "It sounds too simple, even for a book on simple living. But when we are more content to stay at home, to think and to pray, we [...]
Two years ago I read the 1980 version of the book. Today I finished the 2010, 30th anniversary edition of the book. The updates to the book were refreshing and held a lot of meaning for me. What a great book to help me make necessary changes in my life as a young adult coming of age in the Great Recession, but also as a member of a Church of the Brethren. I need to live more simply and to live with better purpose so that my global brothers and sisters may also simply live.
One word: Inspiring. Did not read like a 30-year-old book. Sad that most of what the contributors are suggesting still isn't being done on any grand scale. But it made me feel that I'm not alone in the wilderness. Also a delight to hear about what people are doing in other places, and how they view American excess. That it is centered in a peaceful Christianity is also comforting. Oh, yeah. *THAT* Christianity.
My first book club book ever! This summer a bunch of friends took the Living More with Less Challenge and we've been making our way through this book, touching base on a weekly basis to discuss our thoughts, our challenges and our successes. I have made many tweaks to the way we do life here at home, and feel like this book will be one I pick up over and over again to continue to challenge myself to be a better stewart of this earth!
What I'm learning:1) Simple living isn't something that can really be quantified, and it is a process of learning and being teachable, as well as a position of the heart; much less a place that we "arrive at."2) There are many practical ways that we can learn from each other, and that we should learn from each other. Specifically, that the western church can learn from the rest of the world.3) Community unity and nurture are key elements.
While some of the suggestions may seem a bit austere for some, this is the Mennonite guidebook for living well, but very frugally, all with the intentional of leaving a lighter footprint in the world and perhaps making life a bit better in less advantaged countries. Originally published 30 years ago, this is updated with contemporary examples. There is a definite spiritual tone to it, but even those who are not religious will find many take-aways.
Food for thought. Reading others' decisions on how to put into practice the good principles to which they are devoted does not make me want to implement those specific practices, but it does spur me to make sure that I am putting into practice (though in a different outward form), with integrity, those same good principles in my own life.
This book was written in 1980 so some of the tips and ideas are a bit out of date. However, there is still some good information here and the chapter introductions are quite thought provoking. If you are looking for simple living tips you may find a newer book to be more beneficial, but if you are interested in the philosophy of simple living the information here is timeless.
Almost 30 years old and still relevant today with tons of information on how to live simply. Perhaps more relevant in today's world of cutting back than it was even 10 years ago. I read it right out of college 10 years ago and just skimmed it again. From ideas on how to simplify birthdays and holidays to recipes for ecological housecleaning products, this book has it all.
This book was okay and I guess worth the read but it seemed to be more of a guilt trip approach for living sustainably than just taking a postive, lets roll up our sleeves and heres how to do it type book that I had hoped it would be.
I don't spend a lot of time reading books with such religious bents, but I am interested in the notion of "simple living", and this has a different take on it than some. Some good ideas here, even for non-Mennonites.
A practical and convicting book about simple living, written by the same person as the More with Less cookbooks. Lots of stories from people, and even though written in 1980 is surprisingly relevant for today. Planning to use this book in class.
Not nearly as good as the More with Less cookbook. Some ideas are brilliant, but many are mundane and completely impractical for living in the Bay Area. I did give me food for thought, and helps to get me thinking about all the things I do have and waste.
Read this back in the early 80s. It came up in conversation today.
A good book to read if you're fed up with consuming. It can give you ideas and tips on how to conserve in your daily life.
I read this book years ago, and I recommend it for anyone who (like me) is tired of the "consumer society" we live in. Frugal, sensible ideas for living well.

Sally Shaywitz recommends repetitive reading in her book Overcoming dyslexia. I must admit I did find repetitive reading very tedious, but it really helped me increase my fluency. So I strongly recommend you to persevere with it.
Choose a paragraph, poem or a short story at your reading level. The idea is to choose material that is not too hard or too easy.
It should be material that interests you.
Have a fluent reader read this passage to you. You may want to record them reading. It is also useful to time the reader.
Then you need to read the passage repetitively until you can read it fluently. Try to match your pace and tone to that of your helper. I would recommend reading the same passage at least 5 times per day for 5 days or until you have mastered the passage. Repetitive reading really does help.
It is very important if you are Dyslexic not to let your vocabulary slip behind your year group. This can happen if you are not reading as much as others, or if you are reading at a lower level than others.
Here are some tips to make sure you keep up with your vocabulary.
Audio books are readily available now, both electronically and also at your local library make use of these. You may want to listen and read along with the book or you may just enjoy listening.
Everyone kept forcing me to read but sometimes I just wanted to listen and enjoy. I love novels and I think it is wonderful that I can now be exposed to them via Audio. By listening you get to experience a wider variety of vocabulary and you get to enjoy different writing styles.There is a lot of vocabulary in books that Dyslexics need to be exposed to.
Watching good quality TV can also help with vocabulary.
Big picture thinking is a common dyslexic strength so as a dyslexic it is useful to use our strengths to compensate for our weaknesses. To comprehend a piece of writing it is very important to know the big picture or the gist of what the book/ passage is about.
Ask your teachers for an overview or synopsis of any required reading. Also if they can give you a list of keywords related to the text you are about to read. Look for clues yourself any pictures, underlined or highlighted text.
If you are reading non-fiction it is helpful to know the real life relevance of what you are about to read. Get curious ask lots of questions or find out what you can before you start reading. This will really help your comprehension, memory and motivation.

Mail: Pieces to collusion falling into place
Slowly but surely, the pieces that will eventually prove that President Donald Trump and his campaign colluded with Russia during the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign are gradually falling into place. Before the Don Jr emails, we simply observed many things that just did not seem right. We had a new president who, for some reason, had a lot of help from Russia in hopes of getting him elected as president. We already knew that Russia regularly involved itself in other country’s elections, but Vladimir Putin had a special interest in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. He not only wanted to punish Hillary Clinton for involving herself in Putin’s last election, but he also knew that the person running against her could perhaps be a friend to him. Putin knew he might be able to sway Trump into doing away with the tough sanctions that the U.S. and other countries had placed upon Russia after they annexed Crimea, sanctions that along with historical low oil prices, were dooming Putin’s Russia. And Putin, by this time, had something (hacked emails) that might be of interest to a desperate candidate who was trailing badly in the polls.
Most Americans firmly believe our intelligence agencies when they said that Russia was responsible for the onslaught of blatantly false “news” stories, many of which appeared like real news stories on social media websites such as Facebook, as well as the hacked and leaked emails from both the DNC and John Podesta. But, our new president had a hard time admitting that Russia tried to help him get elected, so President Trump did his best to dispel this notion and to plant into the minds of his most ardent and gullible supporters that this was all just baseless media-driven attacks against him.
President Trump gave us reasons to believe that he’d been “bought” by Russia by changing the GOP’s stance towards Russia beginning at the GOP convention. In one fell swoop, the GOP platform regarding Russia went from recognizing them as a U.S. adversary to a U.S. ally. President-elect and soon to be President Trump seemed to find enemies all over the world (France, UK, China, Mexico, and all sorts of individuals in the U.S. who challenged his behavior), but he had nothing but good things to say about Russia and President Putin. Most people felt this was odd.
With the recently forced release of some of Don, Jr’s emails, we can now see the beginnings of when Russia first approached the Trump campaign about its interest in working with Russia on getting some good dirt on his presidential opponent. According to Trump Jr., he “loved” the idea. So, he, Jared Kushner and then campaign chairman Paul Manafort met with a female lawyer from Russia who was representing the Russian government about sharing damaging information on Hillary Clinton. Please note that this was mere weeks before the hacked emails would be leaked. While Donald Sr. has recently supported Don, Jr. for doing what he considered “very standard” in U.S. politics, meeting with a foreign adversary to help sway a presidential election, he is also setting the stage for paying Putin back. Trump is trying his best to sell Americans on the idea that Putin is going to help us with ISIS, or Syria’s Assad, and, if Trump is somehow still president, he will eventually try to use this as a reason to justify doing away with all sanctions against Russia.
I think that it’s time for good Republicans to come forward now, to distance themselves from this president, and to do what is necessary to get rid of this man as our president as soon as possible. If they don’t do something, not to worry because special counsel Robert Mueller will eventually get him on what will likely be a myriad of charges.

Officials detail upcoming stimulus bill
UPDATED 11:55 AM PT — Sunday, July 26, 2020
White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow has confirmed the coming coronavirus relief bill will include a round of $1,200 stimulus checks. During a recent interview, Kudlow revealed several details of Senate Republicans’ latest legislation, which has been backed by the White House.
According to him, the legislation will include an extension of the federal eviction moratorium and liability protections for businesses. It will also include funding to help schools reopen.
As the U.S. gears up for more coronavirus relief, the adviser said he expects the economy to continue making a rebound.
“I don’t deny some of these hot spot states are going to moderate that recovery, but on the whole, the picture’s very positive,” stated Kudlow. “I still think the v-shaped recovery is in place, I still think there’s going to be 20% growth rate in the third and fourth quarters.”
He went on to say the package put forward by Republicans is “well rounded” and will help the people who need it the most.
According to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Congress will stay in session until a fifth coronavirus relief bill is passed. On Sunday, Pelosi reiterated the House would not adjourn for the August recess until the stimulus package is finalized.
The Democrats’ HEROES Act was passed in the House, but not the Senate, following days of disagreement across the aisle.
However, the speaker claimed the left has been prepared for a while.
“We have been ready for two months and 10 days. I have been here all weekend, hoping they had something to give us. They promised it this week. It didn’t come.” – Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is expected to release his new stimulus package proposal as early as Monday.
Economist Stephen Moore has urged GOP lawmakers to focus on negotiating stimulus legislation with the House speaker rather than among themselves. He has advised senators to focus on unity when presenting their stimulus plan and to push back on Democrats’ revisions to the bill.
He also encouraged them to include payroll tax cuts for business and lower stimulus payments.
The economist warned that taking in-party negotiations too far will only delay Congress further.
“Look, Republicans have to say what they stand for here. They have to stand up for tax cuts, deregulation, school choice, all of these things that need to be in this stimulus bill. Right now, it looks like they’re not. Republicans are negotiating with themselves on this phase four stimulus bill and we haven’t even gotten to negotiating with Nancy Pelosi.” – Stephen Moore, economist

Did you ever notice that the glamour-pop singer Rihanna is from Barbados? I didn’t so far! But she was born in Saint Michael on Barbados in 1988. Today, she’s best known for pop, R&B and even dancehall and hip-hop music and as an actress. Of course, her music reaches the charts regulary and won already many awards. Here’s a great remix(I prefer the remix instead the original) of her song “Umbrella”. Updated song for you!
Music from Portugal – Lúcia Moniz
Ana Lúcia Moniz Pereira (Lisbon, September 9, 1976) is an English singer and actress.
Her beautiful song “Play a Sound to Me”
Music from South Africa – Miriam Makeba
Miriam Makeba, who is also known as Mama Africa, was a singer-songwriter and an actress from South Africa. She was born in 1932 near Johannesburg and died in Castel Volturno, Italy in 2008 at the age of 76 after performing at a concert.
She campaigned against the system of apartheid until the government revoked her citizenship and right of return. But also in Exile she didn’t stop fighting.
She is best known for her song “Pata Pata” which I first listened to five years ago during a music lesson in school. This morning I watched one of the YouTube videos on my Facebook feed and I heard the melody which has been in my head for all this years. :)
Interesting Trivia: Mama Africa’s full name is: Zenzile Makeba Qgwashu Nguvama Yiketheli Nxgowa Bantana Balomzi Xa Ufun Ubajabulisa Ubaphekeli Mbiza Yotshwala Sithi Xa Saku Qgiba Ukutja Sithathe Izitsha Sizi Khabe Singama Lawu Singama Qgwashu Singama Nqamla Nqgithi This name immortalizes not only her maternal ancestors, but also their qualities.

Leighton Meester, born in 1986, is an US-american model, actress and singer. Here’s her song “Summer Girl”:
