SAFETY4SEA remembers the hijacking of the cruise ship ‘Achille Lauro’ in 1985 by four heavily armed Palestinian militants who posed as passengers, resulting to the brutal murder of one passenger. The attack lasted only two days but spurred a global concern over the shaping dimensions of maritime terrorism.
A large LNG carrier was docked in an LNG terminal in UK. The 345.30m LOA carrier was moored with a total number of 20 lines (high modulus polyethylene ropes) following the ‘3-2-3-2 fore and aft’ rule. The vessel had 22 lines on board (as per manufacturer’s requirements) to be used during mooring operations of 44mm diameter Steelite Superline Xtra high modulus polyethylene (HMPE) with a specified minimum breaking load (MBL) of 137t.
In July 2018, OCIMF issued the fourth edition of its Mooring Equipment Guidelines (MEG4) to update related guidelines and include new chapters on Human Factors in Mooring Design, Jetty Design and Fittings, Ship Shore Interface and Alternative Technologies.
Taking lives of over 1,000 people, the sinking of the RoRo ferry Al-Salam Boccaccio 98 remains a good example of study as poor emergency procedures resulted to deaths of over 1,000 people and spurred widespread criticism of the crew, as well as the owner company.
It has been over two years since the US Navy was shaken by two successive collisions involving US navy ships and claiming lives of 17 sailors. As part of its lessons learned series, SAFETY4SEA focuses today on the collision between the USS Fitzgerald with a merchant ship which pushed the US Navy to redefine its approach on safety.
Over 30 years after the Piper Alpha oil platform suffered multiple explosions off Scotalnd taking lives of 167 people, SAFETY4SEA analyzes the North Sea disaster which made the oil and gas industry to look safety in new terms.
Last week, SAFETY4SEA remembered the Torrey Canyon oil spill, which claimed the title of the worst environmental tanker disaster in March 1967. The sinking of the Amoco Cadiz more than a decade later came to claim again the title of the world’s worst oil spill, putting another dark spot in the environmental record of shipping.
More than 50 years after the supertanker ‘Torrey Canyon’ ran aground off England, spurring every drop of its crude oil cargo into the Atlantic, SAFETY4SEA attempts to analyze the world’s first major oil tanker disaster that put the meaning of environmental conservation in a new context.
As part of its “Learn from the past” series, SAFETY4SEA is focusing today on the Sanchi disaster, which claims the world’s worst oil tanker disaster in decades, less than two years after it collided with ‘CF Crystal’ on East China Sea and took lives of 32 people while causing a vast oil pollution.
The sinking of the container ship ‘El Faro’ in October 2015, claimed the title of one of the biggest marine tragedies in the recent US history. The ship had sailed directly into the path of Hurricane Joaquin, with NTSB and USCG noting that the key cause of the accident was the Captain’s failure to handle the ship against the storm and make appropriate use of weather data. As a result, all those on board perished in the sinking.

Understanding Distal Radius Fractures
Dr. Wayne Weil: Hi, my name is Dr. Wayne Weil. I’m one of the surgeons here at Orthopedic Specialists of Seattle. My specialty is hand and elbow surgery, I did my medical school training at the New York University, School of Medicine in New York City. I did my orthopedic surgery residency at the Hospital for Joint Diseases in New York City. And then, I moved out here to Seattle for my hand surgery fellowship at the University of Washington and Harborview hospital.
Today, I’d like to talk to you about Ulnar Collateral Ligaments to the thumb, commonly known as a Gamekeeper’s Thumb or Skier’s Thumb. The weather here in Seattle is changing, we’re transitioning from fall and into winter, there is some early snow in the mountains and I’m sure in another month or two, we will all be out in the mountains skiing in the great Pacific Northwest. Unfortunately, some of us will have some falls and some of us will end up with a Skier’s Thumb.

75 years since Auschwitz
Jan. 27 marked the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps in Poland in 1945. The Embassy of Poland reminded me of this. If not for the so-called Holocaust movies from Hollywood and Europe, we would not have the visual and aural feel of the unspeakable crimes the German Nazis of the Third Reich under Adolf Hitler committed against European Jews and other “undesirables,” Christians among them.
Let me name some concentration camp movies that come to mind: “Schindler’s List,” “Playing for Time,” and “Life is Beautiful.” Recently on Netflix was “The Photographer of Mauthausen,” which can show our selfie generation the historical importance of photographs.
I have the book “Deliverance Day: The Last Hours at Dachau” (with shocking photos, I must say) by Michael Selzer. Germany’s Dachau camp’s 75th is in April 2020.
Some six million Jews were killed in Hitler’s genocidal campaign during World War II that was carried out in concentration camps with gas chambers for mass extermination. Not only Jews but Catholic Poles were killed as well, tens of thousands, priests among them, in the Auschwitz-Birkenau camps in Poland.
I do not understand why four US Jewish rabbis would protest and argue for the removal of a Catholic church inside Auschwtiz-
Birkenau where more than a million Jews were tortured and gassed. A Reuters report in the Inquirer said that “the rabbis argue the church should not be on the site of one of the largest Jewish cemeteries in the world and it violates a 1987 agreement between European cardinals and Jewish leaders that there will not be any permanent Catholic place of worship on the site of the Auschwitz or Birkenau camps” because it “attempts to portray it as a place mainly of Christian martyrdom.”But why not a church, when people of other faiths were also exterminated there? The Auschwitz-Birkenau camps are in largely Catholic Poland. The protestors are American rabbis. Should martyrdom be an exclusive claim? I remember some strain in Jewish-Catholic relations regarding the 1998 canonization of philosophy professor and spiritual writer Edith Stein, a Polish-born German-Jewish convert to Catholicism (she was an atheist at some point) who became a Catholic contemplative Carmelite nun (Sister Teresa Benedicta of the Cross). An intellectual, she was inspired by the writings of St. Teresa of Ávila. Stein was among those killed in Auschwitz. Was Stein’s canonization by Pope John Paul II about her conversion and martyrdom in the Holocaust, a church recognition that did not sit well with the Jews, or, was Stein without doubt a saintly person, a mystic in fact, in whatever category and in every sense of the word? I have read some of her stuff. There is a movie about her life but I have yet to find it.
In contrast, there was no furor over the sainthood of prisoner Franciscan Father Maximilian Kolbe, who offered his life in place of someone else at the camp.
From the Embassy of Poland came the signed statement of the members of the Presidency of the Council of European Bishops Conferences that says “no to anti-Semitism and political manipulation of the truth,” a repudiation of racism and xenophobia.
Recently, Pope Francis himself said to a delegation of the Simon Wiesenthal Center (for Holocaust studies): “May the anniversary of the unspeakable cruelty that humanity learned of 75 years ago, serve as a summons to pause, to be still and to remember. We need to do this, lest we become indifferent.”
To pause, to be still and to remember. I like that.
Three Popes had visited the death camps. Polish John Paul II, of course, who spent a moment in the prison cell of Kolbe. German Benedict XVI who called the rulers of the Third Reich, his own kababayans, “vicious criminals… who wanted to crush the entire Jewish people… and tear up the taproot of the Christian faith and replace it with a faith of their own invention, faith in the rule of man, the rule of the powerful.”
Argentinian Francis, unlike his predecessors, did not speak a word. On the memorial book, he wrote: “Lord, have mercy on your people. Lord, we ask pardon for such cruelty.”

I paid a short visit to Bristol at the weekend. I'd never been to this part of the UK before and I didn't really know what to expect. It's produced quite a few famous musicians in recent years including Portishead, Tricky, Massive Attack and Roni Size. Bristol has also churned out the likes of The Wurzels and two-thirds of Bananarama. Like a lot of other British cities it's showing signs of urban decay and this obviously has effected the music of most of the bands mentioned above. The Wurzels work seems to perfectly encapsulate the essence of the city's decline.
I'll write more about the reason for the trip to Bristol tomorrow. The reason it's come up now is that I managed to pop into Rubber Soul Records for a couple of minutes over the weekend. It's your average dusty vinyl store with the compulsory ill-kempt custodian and it was stocked full of 7"s. With only a couple of minutes on my hands I picked up this diverse collection:
'Feel like makin' love' by Roberta Flack. ‘Feel Like Makin' Love' was written by Eugene McDaniels who released a solo album in 1970 called ‘Outlaw'. Mc Daniels also composed for artists such as George Benson and Bo Diddley and produced the Supremes.
'I want you' by Marvin Gaye. This is on the Tamla label and is taken from the 1976 album of the same name. It was given a right old going over by Robert Palmer in 1991 and again by Madonna and Massive Attack in 1995. The tune is a real Marvin classic and features an instrumental of the tune on the flip side.
'Prodigal Son' by Steel Pulse was the second 7" release from their superb 1978 album 'Handsworth Revolution'. The album was produced by Karl Pitterson who has also produced the work of numerous reggae greats including Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Augustus Pablo and Toots & The Maytals. You can see a performance of 'Prodigal Son' here
'How soon is now' and 'Bigmouth Strikes Again' by The Smiths. I've a truckload of 7"'s by these lads but these two have been conspicuous by their absence so I thought that I may as well buy them. I'm a big fan of The Smiths. Enough said.
'She sells sanctuary' by The Cult. This tune is better known for its use in selling an energy sports drink on a tv advertising campaign from a few years ago. I have a soft spot for this since it was released on Beggars Banquet Records in 1985.
On the way back home I picked up a copy of NME. The last time I bought this magazine was around the time She sells sanctuary was released. The reason I purchased it was because there was a red vinyl 7" by The White Stripes stuck to the front cover. It's a tune called 'Rag and Bone' but I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet. Maybe tomorrow.

Is living furniture the next frontier in ultra-eco-friendly design? Oxygenating the air, providing
a punch of green and acting as a natural accent in both interior and exterior spaces, these 13 unusual furniture designs incorporate actively growing moss, grass, vines, mushrooms and even crystals.
Growing Chair by Michel Bussien
(image via: yanko design)Raised on a growing platform like an elvish throne, Michel Bussien’s ‘Growing Chair’ helps us get back to our roots with a clear polycarbonate frame that is filled with greenery as the plant inside grows. The artist says “To move further we need to incorporate the living matter that surrounds us. Let us use the complexity of living nature and include it in our creations. These creations will then redefine the way we reconstruct nature.”
Moss Bath Mat
(image via: dornob)All that water that drips off your body when you emerge from the shower could be feeding live moss, which is just squishy enough to provide a super-comfy surface to stand on. This unusual bath mat features three different types of moss that thrives in the moist environment of a bathroom.
Pooktre Chair by Peter Cook
(images via: inhabitat)Free of waste and man-made materials, the ‘Pooktre Chair’ by Peter Cook is an entirely natural piece of actively growing furniture that is lovingly shaped over seven to eight years before being replanted in the yard of the purchaser. Each chair is a work of living, functioning sculpture.
Grow Your Own Crystal Chair
(image via: mocoloco)It may not be the most comfortable chair ever, but it’s certainly unique. Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka starts with a polyester elastomer skeleton, seeds it with living crystals and submerges it in an aquarium to provide the perfect growing environment and a month later, this sparkling piece of artistic ‘furniture’ is what results.
The artist said “…I have pondered on challenging the history of design by creating an epoch-making chair grown from natural crystal structures. Today, a rapid development of technology, particularly the use of computer renderings, has ensured and made various things real. I want to believe, however, there is something in nature that defies all human imagination.”

- The environmental cost of health care
- What are the highest producers of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the NHS?
- A study from the University of Cambridge has found that the GHGs emitted from metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) are responsible for 3.9% of the NHS’s carbon footprint and has recommended all eligible patients switch to a greener option. Why has this not happened already?
- What action is being taken to reduce the NHS’s carbon footprint? Is it happening fast enough?
- What are the main barriers to health care becoming ‘greener’?
- What can be done to encourage medical staff to recommend greener health care options where available?
Environment analysis: The NHS is the UK’s biggest greenhouse gas (GHG) emitter, responsible for ~5% of all UK environmental emissions. Healthcare, however, is a difficult area in which to make significant change, posing a problem considering the 2050 deadline for the UK to be net-zero on carbon emissions. Camille Oung and Lucina Rolewicz, researchers specialising in healthcare and the environment at Nuffield Trust, explore why healthcare is so slow to move and what options there are to drive change where it is needed most.

Our Puhoi musicians and singers are invited to be part of an exciting and unusual venture, the singing of our Easter Sunday Mass, at 8.30am on March 27, in the German dialect similar to that spoken by the Puhoi Bohemians.
The Egerlaender Volkssingmesse – Egerlaender Folk Mass – composed in 1950 by Anton Haubner and Fritz Roscher, has already been sung twice in Puhoi, once by visiting Egerlaenders from Germany and once as part of a Kowhai Singers concert.
It is envisaged this Easter’s choir, to be coached by Kowhai Singer and founder of the new Puhoi Children’s Choir, Carole Hay, will comprise the children, their parents and members of our Puhoi Church congregation, and other community members as well as Bohemian descendants from the Waikato and, hopefully, visiting Egerlaenders from Germany and Austria.
There will be a gathering of all those interested in learning more about this unique enterprise on Monday, February 1 at 5pm in the Puhoi Church and rehearsals will start in Puhoi soon after. Please bring a USB stick to the initial gathering to receive a simple computer programme.
I have also prepared for emailing the three-part music arranged by our Kowhai Singers director Peter Cammell, plus the dialect words and translation, accompanied by a pronunciation guide.
The music, comprising around six songs, is simple, but some more voices, especially male, would be welcome.
Contact coordinator Judith Williams, 4220181, email:firstname.lastname@example.org to have the music sent to you or for more information.

The distribution of ancillary supplies, which include necessary drug manufacturing components like APIs, excipients and packaging material, suffered a severe setback as the government implemented a nationwide lockdown to curb the coronavirus spread. What is the full measure of the disruption caused in the ancillary industry in India due to the COVID-19 pandemic?
While the pharma sector in the country was able to operate during the coronavirus-induced lockdown, the $9 billion ancillary industry faced severe restrictions during this time. With many industries/products not falling under the ‘essential business’ umbrella, ancillary companies faced challenges around manpower availability, logistics disruptions, and raw material shortages.
While these issues have largely been resolved with the re-opening of the economy, financial distress continues to a big challenge, especially those within the MSME category. With the government announcing various assistance packages to financially stabilise these firms, disbursal of these packages has been an ongoing challenge leading to severe financial stress for smaller players.
The report ‘REVIVING THE PHARMA ANCILLARY INDUSTRY’ suggested that partnerships, especially the ones formed between big pharma companies and MSMEs, could go a long way in strengthening the ancillary industry in India. How will such a partnership function? What are the various benefits that the participating companies may enjoy?
MSMEs represent 60 per cent of the ancillary industry and are a vital part of the pharma supply chain. The partnership between large pharma companies and ancillary players is envisioned as a mutually beneficial relationship that will result in creating a transparent view of the customer and the supplier network across the value chain.
Through these partnerships, large pharma companies can mentor the ancillary players by providing them access to frugal innovation, while also supporting demand aggregation across ancillaries of a similar kind to negotiate better with the source.
Further, this network can assist in developing the commercial acumen of ancillary players by ensuring better payment terms across the value chain and implementing price hikes wherever required, to ease the financial distress on the ancillaries
With a turnover of over $9 billion, the ancillary industry is a major segment of India Pharma Inc. Even before the COVID-19 hit, this segment has had its share of hiccups. How has this segment shaped over the years, and what are the challenges that it has faced? Please also tell us about how these got amplified by the COVID crisis.
Ancillary companies, over time, have clustered in two ways: close to the buyers (in case of industries like packaging) or as backward linkages for industries like API which have a high dependency on the location of utilities. These small businesses are characterised by low levels of automation, which results in higher dependency on manpower.
Given the nature of the business for these MSME ancillaries, most of them were already facing stretched working capital cycles even before the pandemic, which further intensified with the lockdown and the median gross current asset days stretching up to 220. Further, a drop in demand and manpower shortage has led to constrained operations and lower revenues. With a reduced top line, constrained working capital and higher cost impact, the MSMEs are looking down the barrel with increased financial pressure with no relief in sight.
What are some short-term and long-term remedial measures that can be adopted to boost the growth of the ancillary industry, in the present and the post COVID era?
To accelerate the recovery of the pharma ancillary industry, the primary focus needs to be delivering financial relief to the players. While relief packages have been announced, the government needs to ensure a mechanism for effective disbursal of the proposed interventions and availability of loans to smaller units. In addition, support on working capital extensions and relief on expenses (statutory and wage-related) can further lighten the financial burden on these players.
Another immediate focus area should be towards implementing safety protocols at the workplace, to minimise incidences of infection.
What would be an ideal disaster management framework to protect this segment, if the industry has to face similar unfortunate circumstances in the future?
A robust disaster management capability must leverage learning from past disruptions with a control tower as the nerve centre to ensure industry readiness in case of similar crises in the future. Developing a business continuity toolkit will be key to leverage past learnings, including a comprehensive list of essential industries across the pharma value chain, rapid response SOPs in case of infection detection, clearly defining roles and responsibilities of key stakeholders and a comprehensive view of the ancillary network in the pharma ecosystem with all the backward linkages. This toolkit can feed into a COVID-19 Control Tower to ensure on-ground issues are effectively resolved and risks are proactively identified and mitigated.
The Control Tower will play a pivotal role in influencing and managing precise communication and flow of information across stakeholders and hierarchies of administration. It can influence policy, proactively control, and monitor communication to ground authorities to avoid ‘loss in translation’, be the single POC for issue resolution for manufacturers and coordinate with other regional war rooms.
Lately, there has been a lot of emphasis on making the Indian pharma industry self-reliant to avoid dependence on exports for APIs and other supplies. How can the ancillary industry incorporate the essence of ‘atmanirbharta’ in its operations?
In the next one to two years, it would be necessary to reduce reliance on imports from a single geography to manage supply disruptions. This will require the government to identify strategic APIs for indigenous manufacturing and provide early approvals to clusters, set up common utilities to make smaller units economically viable, lower borrowing costs and embed strong research-based linkages to continuously innovate to improve process technologies.

Idaho taxpayers face a $50 million bill for firefighting so far this year.
So far wildfires have burned 726,000 acres across ownerships and 69,000 acres burned within the 6.2 million acres where the state in responsible for fire protection. The overall cost for firefighting within this area was $67 million but the state expects to get gets reimbursed $17 million for fire on the federal lands within the area.
Wildfire burned 27,000 acres of Idaho endowment lands and 119,000 acres of private land. Wild fire burned 340,000 acres of national forest lands and 226,000 acres of public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management.
The largest of these fires, the Clearwater Complex around Kamiah, burned 47,000 acres and has cost $27 million so far.
"That's been our largest most expensive fire," said David Groeschl, Idaho State Forester in a report to the Land Board.

The Urmia Lake basin is one of the most vulnerable areas to frequent and high-intensity droughts in Iran. The aim of this study is to project meteorological drought in the Urmia Lake basin through the 21st century. We investigated the standardized precipitation-evapotranspiration index (SPEI-1) by using the bias-corrected CMIP6 models under SSP1-2.6 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios during the period 2026-2100. We evaluated the performance of individual CMIP6 models and multi-model ensemble (MME) generated by the independent weighted mean (IWM) method with three statistics including NRMSE, MBE, and PCC. Overall, all individual CMIP6 models show good performance in the Lake Urmia basin, despite some overestimations of precipitation. However, the generated CMIP6-MME has increased the PCC values in all stations to 0.99. The CMIP6 MME show good performance of the SPEI-1 index in autumn, winter and spring against observation from ground stations in the historical period. The result indicates a significant increase in drought events mainly in the west and north of the Urmia Lake basin in the warm period of the year during 21st century. The severity and the percentage of below-normal years for the basin-averaged drought is more in the middle 21st century (2051-2075) than the far future (2076-2100), especially for the SSP5-8.5 scenario. These results can provide a basis for the development of drought adaptation plans in the Urmia Lake basin.

Pre-exercise carbohydrate ingestion : effect of the glycaemic index on metabolism and endurance performance
Sparks, Matthew James (1995) Pre-exercise carbohydrate ingestion : effect of the glycaemic index on metabolism and endurance performance. Research Master thesis, Victoria University of Technology.
Carbohydrates are a major substrate contributing to energy transduction during medium to high intensity exercise, and the body's levels of this substrate can be manipulated by dietary and exercise behaviours. Nutritional strategies employed before and during exercise affect endurance exercise performance by altering the metabolism of carbohydrate within the body. Carbohydrate feeding during endurance exercise has repeatedly been demonstrated to be beneficial to the athlete. Studies investigating preexercise carbohydrate feeding, particularly in the hour before exercise, have produced conflicting results and justify further investigation. The study reported in this dissertation aimed to further investigate the role of the meal, in particular, examine the effect of differing glycaemic indices of carbohydrate foods on metabolism and exercise performance. A total of eight, endurance trained subjects participated in this study which involved the ingestion of carbohydrate food with differing glycaemic indices 45 min before cycling at a submaximal workload corresponding to 70% VO2max for 50 min, followed by a self-paced 15 min performance ride. In all trials blood samples were taken from a forearm vein and analysed for metabolites and hormones. The results from this study demonstrate that the pre- exercise ingestion of carbohydrate foods with different glycaemic indices alter metabolism during rest and subsequent submaximal exercise. The data from this study demonstrated that pre-exercise ingestion of a high glycaemic index (HGI) food resulted in a hyperglycaemic response followed by an insulin-mediated hypoglycaemia at the onset of exercise. In addition, the elevated insulin during the HGI trial resulted in an attenuation in circulating FFA and higher rate of carbohydrate oxidation compared with the ingestion of a low glycaemic index food (LGI) or placebo (CON). Despite the changes in metabolism associated with pre-exercise CHO feeding, exercise performance following 50 min of submaximal exercise was not affected.

Two rival bus companies running routes in Woodley have agreed to co-operate to satisfy customers.
Passengers in Woodley are getting used to four new routes and timetables, which were launched today, after the 63 and 64 services were scrapped.
Boss at Reading Buses and Thames Travel, which will both operate the number 12 from Woodley Airfield to Reading, have vowed to integrate timetables and accept tickets from each other’s passengers.
Thames Travel was awarded £100,000 of taxpayers’ money by Wokingham Borough Council to provide additional journeys to bolster the route for passengers.
Council transport bosses stepped in to try to salvage some of the routes Reading Buses said it could no longer afford to run.
James Freeman, Reading Buses chief executive, said: “Since Wokingham Borough Council bro-kered the contracts for the non-commercial routes in Woodley we have offered, agreed and de-cided to have more inter-availability between route 12, which is run by Thames Travel, and Reading Buses.
“This means if a passenger has a weekly travel ticket with Reading Buses, it will be valid on the number 12, while each others timetables will show both companies’ routes running in the area.
“Hopefully this will make things easier for people.”
He added: “A lot of angst was illustrated about the changes, but this is probably due to the proc-ess we have had to go through.
“Hopefully people will realise the changes are not bad at all, and once people get used to the new arrangements they will find them satisfactory.”
Mr Freeman went on to explain most tickets will be accepted by both companies.
However, he said, Reading Buses Smartcard holders will be unable to use the ticket with Thames Travel as its buses are not equipped with the technology to accept them.
In the new timetables Reading Buses replaces its defunct 63 and 64 services with routes 12, 13, 13a and 14.
Reading Buses will operate the number 12 during Monday to Friday peak-periods and hourly on Sundays. Thames Travel will run additional journeys on the route throughout the day, making the Monday to Friday peak service two buses per hour and the daytime frequency on weekdays and at the weekends every hour.
The 13 will run from Reading station to north Woodley via Bulmershe.
The 14 will run off-peak and Saturday and Sunday timetables from Reading station to south Woodley via Shepherds Hill.
While the number 19 will provide a looped service around Woodley before making its way through Earley, along to Royal Berkshire Hospital and then Reading.

Over 20 years since making their debut, TLC are plotting their comeback. The iconic R&B group are planning to make a big announcement next week that includes a new album and a surprise.
Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins and Rozanda “Chilli” Thomas will be on hand at a press conference on July 25 in New York along with Epic Records CEO L.A. Reid. It is believed that they have inked a new deal with the music mogul, who signed them to LaFace Records in 1991.
According to a media alert from Epic, the duo will preview new music from their upcoming greatest hits album and play a sneak peek of their VH1 made-for-TV movie “CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story” starring Lil Mama, KeKe Palmer, and Drew Sidora.
Plus, a “special guest” will be on hand for a surprise announcement.
The group’s longtime producer Dallas Austin has been working on the album, which will commemorate the group’s 20-year anniversary. “We took a lot of the old songs and remastered them. We mixed them just to tweak them, make them better,” he told Rap-Up TV.
He also revealed some of the potential guest stars. “They did something with J. Cole, they might be doing something with Drake,” said Austin.
TLC will make their return to the U.S. stage at the Mixtape Festival at Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey, PA on July 26-27.

First Trailer for the Eerie New Stephen King Series THE MIST - Fear. Human. Nature.
One of my favorite Stephen King stories is The Mist and a series adaptation of it was announced back in 2015. Well, today the first eerie trailer has rolled in and I like what I'm seeing so far. As you'll see, the series doesn't follow the exact story that King wrote, but I understand they had to change some things up for the series. After watching the trailer, it wasn't hard for me to embrace those changes. It just helps open the world up more and I think it has potential to be a great show that will offer up some intensity and scares. I'm totally looking forward to watching it!
THE MIST centers around a small town family that is torn apart by a brutal crime. As they deal with the fallout an eerie mist rolls in, suddenly cutting them off from the rest of the world and, in some cases, each other. Family, friends and adversaries become strange bedfellows, battling the mysterious mist and its threats, fighting to maintain morality and sanity as the rules of society break down.
In an interview with EW, series creator Christian Torpe talked about his version of the story Explaining:
“I wanted to be respectful to the source material, but my feeling was there was already a great adaptation out there by Frank Darabont. The novella is 200 pages and one location, and we needed to change that to make an ongoing series. But we wanted to remain faithful to the heart of the story.
“We establish different little pressure cookers under the influence of whoever the leader would be in those locations. Each of them come up with different theories or beliefs about what’s going on. Eventually, the story lines will dovetail and turn into conflicts.
“Unfortunately, I thought it was incredibly timely to do a show about what people do when they are blinded by fear. We look around at what’s going on in the world, and everyone is constantly looking for someone to blame, or someone to lead them to the promised land. They find people to hate, either because of their gender or race or faith. Those are elements we tap into — how fear drives things like misogyny and homophobia.”
The Mist stars Morgan Spector, Alyssa Sutherland, Gus Birney, Danica Curcic, Okezie Morro, Luke Cosgrove, Darren Pettie, Russell Posner, Dan Butler, Isiah Washington, Jr. and Frances Conroy. The series is set to premiere on Thursday, June 22nd on Spike. Watch the trailer and tell us what you think!

Getting state to compensate a add-on no picnic
October 6, 2014 - Picnic Time
On Aug. 14, 105 employees of a New York Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services ostensible a invitation from their commissioner, Jerome Hauer, to attend a assembly and cruise during Lanthier’s Grove in Latham. Many of a employees — who dined on tender bar items, grilled meats, salads, drink and soothing drinks — were told that Hauer was covering a cost.
Lanthier’s owners Bob Bellard, who was told a same, has been agitating to get paid, fixation countless calls to a group and removing nowhere.
“I’m perplexing to tighten my books for a year,” Bellard said. The agency’s check is $3,000, not including tax. Bellard pronounced a chairman who organised a event, an executive assistant, didn’t wish to accept a add-on during a cruise and asked that it be given to Hauer. But Bellard declined, observant he wanted to bargain with a woman, who has given been eliminated by Hauer.
Bellard pronounced he afterwards started seeking a woman’s replacement, who has given left a agency. The third chairman to whom he was referred some-more recently pronounced a squeeze sequence has been put in that will concede a group to cut a check.
Typically, Bellard said, he gets paid a day of a event, or maybe a few days later. After 28 years using a Grove, he said, a conditions with DHSES is “the worst.”
“I’ve got bills to pay, like anybody,” Bellard said.
The picnic, that followed a Citizens Preparedness Training eventuality for DHSES staff, was scheduled with a bargain that Hauer would cover a cost, some insiders say.
Several people invited to a eventuality have been reassigned or have left a group recently. Among a departures: Peter Cutler, Hauer’s emissary commissioner for open affairs, who became a first-ever executive of communications and special projects for a Erie Canal Harbor Development Corp., an arm of Empire State Development; James Horton, a former State Police officer who was Hauer’s arch of staff until he was eliminated to a division’s glow unit; and Jim Sherry, Hauer’s emissary commissioner for downstate operations, who late to join Redland Strategies, where former DHSES personality Mike Balboni works.
Kristin Devoe, who took Cutler’s duties, did not censure a delayed remuneration of a check on a changes during a agency. She pronounced Hauer sent a $2,000 check from his personal comment to cover a food and libation apportionment of a check on Friday — a day after a contributor called with questions about a matter — and will send another for a sales tax.
The group will be profitable for use of a trickery for a meeting, she said.
Devoe pronounced a loiter was caused since a businessman did not take credit cards, had not itemized a check and did not embody sales tax, giving a group a state tax-free status.
Bellard “is going to be paid,” she said.
A DHSES worker paid for doorway prizes and isn’t seeking payment from a agency, Devoe said.
PEF personality returns
The Public Employees Federation ethics examination routine takes months, and even people found guilty of “major violations of a PEF Code of Ethics” can fast lapse to inflection in a union. Consider a box of Edward Lucas, a former boss of a multiplication of PEF representing 800 members during a Department of Transportation domicile in Colonie.
According to annals performed by a Times Union, a PEF ethics discussion row ruled in Mar that Lucas had to step down as boss of Division 177 on Wolf Road. He also had to compensate behind a section for unapproved and undocumented charges and money advances he took, relinquished a PEF squeeze card, and mislaid a ability to transport during a union’s expense. PEF’s financial executive resolved that Lucas due PEF $649 for unapproved charges in 2011 and 2012, and $400 for an allege that was ostensible to cover his transport costs.
However, a ethics row authorised him to finish his tenure as a steward, that runs by subsequent July. It also dynamic that he deserved a possibility to redeem himself if a members he serves chose to yield an opportunity.
They did only that, voting him in as a nominee in May to offer during a PEF entertainment in Niagara Falls final week, and as a deputy in Los Angeles progressing this summer for an American Federation of Teachers gathering. PEF’s executive bureau substantially lonesome his transport costs, PEF veterans say.
Jane Briggs, a kinship spokeswoman, pronounced a administration of President Susan Kent followed a discussion panel’s ruling. “The row private his right to a squeeze card, so he is not entitled to a card; and he does not go on any reimbursable transport in his valet position,” she said. Briggs declined to state either PEF is covering his nominee travel.
Former executive house member Charles Kelefant, who filed a censure opposite Lucas in 2013, said, “It’s been adjudicated — it is what it is.”
It’s misleading if those who voted for Lucas as a nominee knew about a ethics violations: The information was contained in trusted discussion row records.
Lucas, a polite operative paid $73,500 a year by a DOT, has been active with a kinship for years, even portion as a arch sergeant during arms during conventions.
He did not lapse phone calls.
‘John from Brooklyn’
When executive New Jersey-based comic Rich Vos was needling a assembly during a Comedy Works in Albany a dusk of Sept. 27, he encountered a couple: “John from Brooklyn” told a comic he was in city visiting “my girl.”
Amid a array of gags exploiting secular stereotypes, Vos asked John if a tracking bracelet on his ankle rescued he had trafficked so distant afield as Albany. The moment drew laughs.
The comedian didn’t comprehend he was articulate to state Sen. John Sampson, who’s now underneath complaint on sovereign piracy charges and faces a hearing in February.
“Him and his partner were great,” Vos told a contributor final week. “I remember they had a good clarity of humor. we never asked him what he did for a living.”
He removed suggesting Sampson was on probation, and asked him to stay divided from his car.
“I consternation if he suspicion we knew who he was, a approach we was articulate to him,” Vos said.
After a show, Vos found out who he had been ribbing. The comic, compelling his documentary on iTunes called “Women Aren’t Funny,” credited Sampson’s date as being a good sport.
Asked to endorse that Sampson was indeed “John from Brooklyn,” a mouthpiece for a former Democratic discussion personality pronounced she would check.
When she called back, she didn’t contend approbation or no — though emphasized that Sampson wanted a Times Union to know he did not put in for a per diem, a $172 per day paid to lawmakers for entrance to Albany on central business.

We've been tweakin'.
I never planned anything like this before, but I've watched as friends and co-workers have planned weddings. I've watched them stress, pace, become exhausted, and then sit with a blank look as they stared at the calendar, counting the days remaining.
Not something I wanted to ever go through. I'm too laid back. So laid back nowadays that I am only inches from falling into a coma. Wasn't always this way, but I am thankful I am now, otherwise I'd be going out of my ever lovin' mind.
The wedding will be at Old Sturbridge Village. This was not the first choice. The first choice was a meadow. OSV is better, it offers seating.
When we first came up with the idea to explore the possibility of a wedding at Old Sturbridge Village we treaded slowly. This would mean it would be a real function, not just moment in time flanked by vows and expressions of love.
It meant there would be place settings.
We, or more exactly, Mary, has become a Wedding Planner. From flowers, to colors, to music, to seating, to choosing the entre, and selecting the wedding cake, she has done it all.
I rented a tux.
Oh, I've thrown in my opinion now and again, but she has done most everything. Thank goodness, otherwise we'd be exchanging vows on unicycles in front of Mister Chuckles, the clown.
I believe ones personality actually plans a wedding. She is more stable, so the event will be wonderful, and my input has been carefully tempered. The Cat Juggler is out. The calliope is a no-go, and an antique organ will supply the wedding music.
The finger puppet wedding favors for the guests are history, too.
To be continued...

Mike Patton knows talent.
The Faith No More frontman and Ipecac Recordings co-founder has signed bands no other label would. Why? Because the shit he signs is so good, there is no fucking way any label is going to haul in any kind of dough, so no one touches ‘em.
Patton co-founded the label with Greg Werckman, a fucking stand-up dude if ever there was one.
PHILM — a Los Angeles-based experimental post-hardcore band featuring Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo, Civil Defiance guitarist and vocalist Gerry Nestler, and War bassist Pancho Tomaselli — will release it’s debut album early this year through Ipecac.
“I can’t wait for [everyone] to hear it,” Lombardo enthused. “Looking forward to releasing it and doing selected shows around the world.”
For those who don’t know, PHILM incorporate elements not only of metal into their sound, but punk, ambient, funk (obviously…War), and even jazz.
They’re fucking stellar.
Nice going, Patton. You remain the coolest motherfucker on the planet.

In this installment of “Love, Recorded,” how do we give our children advice that is both enough and not so much that it stifles them. Look to the cookie?
There is an unopened fortune cookie in our car that is just about driving me crazy. It is the last one left—my daughter and I ate the rest immediately. My wife doesn’t seem to care if hers is ever opened. But in it is a future, however small. In it is a mystery, in this world of mysteries, that could be easily solved.
I don’t remember my daughter’s fortunes, or mine, but this one could be different.
Recently, Grace has developed this habit of saying, “What? What? What?” when she doesn’t want to answer a question. As if she hasn’t heard us. It is adorable and it is outrageous. It is the most frustrating thing as a parent. We try to reach her with our lasers of future wisdom and she throws up a shield of primitivism.
“She’s 2,” I remind my wife, and myself, when it feels unbearable that our child seems both our equal (or better) and forever our baby.
I know something about your future, I want to say. Because I know something about her future that is also mine—as it must be, right?
Sometimes I wonder if Grace knows herself better now than she ever will. When we have friends who are expecting, I like to give them a warning: that everyone will have advice for them. I like this warning in an ironic way, since it is advice of its own, but I also think it is fair and valuable.
I have advice for you, Daughter. I have advice for how to avoid my mistakes. I am not the type to think you must make them yourself—I’d rather you make better mistakes, mistakes made with a knowledge of other people’s wrong turns.
Open the cookie in the car and hopefully you move beyond the futures that might be solved by cookies.
The problem is knowing which futures these are. Another toddler habit: when my daughter is hurt, she will not admit it. If she skins her knee, she will not let me look. She won’t acknowledge that it happened at all.
I am so afraid of denial.
This has to do with adoption, of course, with race and other issues that I would rather pretend for her do not exist. But I cannot pretend. I cannot even pretend that any advice I give will really help her, other than through the knowledge that she is not alone. And I worry that a culture of tweets and sound bites tries to explain everything concisely not in an attempt at understanding but in an attempt to get you to open the wrapper.
On the other hand, there is mystery and also wisdom in what is left unsaid. There is mystery and wisdom in what people outside of you say about the things you yourself can’t fully express.
I am corresponding with another adoptee writer right now who mentioned that he likes the “idea of absence” in my novel of short bursts. That the reader has to be content with what he has. I also read something like this in a recent review. I had always thought of all of that white space as a promise to the reader, that the book will offer room to be imagined. It is a similar idea, but I think that “absence” probably speaks closer to adoption. It makes me think about how much our aesthetics are formed by our pain.
I am at the Children’s Museum when I finally learn why my daughter says she isn’t hurt when she is. She is running through an exhibit and she trips over her own feet. I tell her that it is okay to be hurt, that I’m not upset she fell down (guessing), that I only want to help her feel better. I ask after a feeling—determined this time not to let the mystery remain a mystery. Finally, she says, “I want to run,” and I realize what it is: we have been using her little injuries as reasons she shouldn’t do things. Don’t run here or you’ll get hurt. Remember your scraped knees? If she is never hurt, we can’t justify telling her to stop.
When I say she can keep running, that is when she lets me look at the burn, lets me kiss it and make it feel better. That is when she shares her pain with me. She must have thought there were two futures, one where she isn’t hurt and can do whatever she wants, and one where pain means she has to give up control of what she can and can’t do. I know something about a future where the pain you suffer alone cuts off a sense of possibility. “I know what you want,” I say. “I am not trying to stop you.” I only want to be there for what hurts in those wants, what cannot be explained away.

First, the production conditions
Using 3t medium frequency induction electric furnace smelting, charge ratio stability: 20% pig iron, scrap 40%, 40% of the charge back, adding appropriate amount of carbon agent, ferrosilicon, ferromanganese, SiC, FeS adjust the chemical composition of molten iron, Time for the molten iron in the furnace to join more than half, the tensile strength and hardness are obtained Ф30mm single cast tensile test bar, test sticks for the furan resin sand shape.
Second, the test results and analysis
1. Effect on graphite morphology
As shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the samples are taken from the heart of the tensile test bar.
The chemical composition of FIG. 1 is as follows: wC = 3.18%, wSi = 1.85%, wMn = 0.83%, wP = 0.043%, wS = 0.078%. Graphite morphology: Flake graphite distribution is type A, with a small amount of C-type graphite, graphite length of 4 to 5.
The chemical composition of Fig. 2 is as follows: wC = 3.20%, wSi = 1.83%, wMn = 0.86%, wP = 0.043%, wS = 0.076%. Graphite morphology: Flake graphite distribution is type A, with a small amount of C-type graphite, graphite length of 5 to 6 grades.
2. Impact on the hardness of cast iron in tensile strength
HT250 electric furnace smelting to do the production test, the same ingredients in the furnace to ensure the same chemical composition as possible, the temperature of the molten iron is 1515 ~ 1525 ℃, the pouring temperature is 1380 ~ 1430 ℃, the bottom of the substrate is incubated with 0.3% Silicon Barium inoculant Treatment, testing the chemical composition and the corresponding strength and hardness in Table 1. The experimental results show that under the same melting conditions and similar chemical composition, the mechanical properties and hardness of the molten iron pretreated by SiC are improved to some extent compared with the untreated molten iron.
3. Impact on machining performance of cast iron
Shown in Figure 3, the piece is 0L59011 left cover is the company's products T165 parts. Material HT200, weight 45kg. The main wall thickness of this piece is 8 ~ 10mm. In the pre-production process, we mainly improve the processing performance by means of high silicon-carbon ratio. As the induction furnace induction furnace smelting cast iron, large degree of undercooling, white mouth tend to be strong, under the same carbon equivalent conditions, with induction furnace smelting cast iron compared with the cupola melting, eutectic transformation of the large undercooling Much of the castings that were produced in advance were found to be whitened at the edges of the castings during machining and were difficult to machine and annealed only to meet machining requirements. By increasing carbon equivalent The method of using high silicon to carbon ratio did not receive good results. Later, we tested the hot metal pre-treatment process SiC and high silicon-carbon ratio method for process validation, first determine the chemical composition of the original wC = 3.20% ~ 3.30%, wSi = 2.20% ~ 2.30%, wMn = 0.80%, wP≤0.50%, wS = 0.050% ~ 0.10%, pretreatment agent SiC dosage remained at 0.8%, we produced two batches of 40 processing tracking validation, no edge white The phenomenon of the phenomenon, and the processing performance is good, the complete lifting of the machined material hard phenomenon.
Third, the conclusion
(1) Pretreatment of molten iron with SiC in the process of melting gray cast iron by induction furnace can improve the morphology and size of graphite.
(2) The pretreatment of molten iron with SiC in the process of melting gray cast iron by induction furnace can increase the tensile strength and hardness. Under the same conditions, the tensile strength can be increased by 20-30MPa and the hardness can be increased by 10-25HBW.
(3) The pretreatment of molten iron in the process of melting gray cast iron by induction furnace can significantly improve the cutting performance and reduce the tendency of white castings.

SoCal ILWU office workers strike looms, talks continue
Contract negotiations between Southern California marine carriers and the dockworker union representing nearly 1,000 of their office workers ran into the early morning hours of Monday, despite the passing of two separate weekend walkout deadlines set by the union.
Officials from the 930-member International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 63 Office Clerical Unit, in negotiations since the current contract ran out on June 30, called the Saturday midnight walkout deadline last Tuesday after frustrations built up over the slow progress of talks with marine terminal and carrier firms in the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles. Saturday's deadline was extended until Sunday at midnight and talks continued at least an hour past the second deadline into Monday morning.
While neither side was willing to talk specifics, reports indicate that the two sides remain far apart on wages and benefits.
OCU President John Fageaux Jr. said during a break early Monday that if talks collapsed, picket lines would go up.
“We’re in the process of presenting our last, best and final offer,” he told the Associated Press during the early morning break.
The OCU union local, an entity unique to Southern California, is part of the area's larger 15,000-strong ILWU dockworker union. However, the union negotiates their contract with 14 Los Angeles-Long Beach-area maritime firms directly and not with the Pacific Maritime Association, which represents the interest of West Coast maritime firms in negotiations with the parent ILWU union. The OCU represents mainly 'white collar' office and clerical workers in the 'off-port' offices of maritime firms.
While the parent ILWU dockworker's union has agreed to honor any OCU picket lines — effectively shutting down the nation's two busiest container ports on the eve of the peak shipping season — there is some contention whether the OCU members' positions outside the ports would lead to restraining orders being filed in the case of a walkout and subsequent supportive walkout at the docks.
The lead negotiator for the maritime firms said that the employers’ latest offer included raises that over the life of the three-year contract would raise the union members' hourly pay to $39.20, while the union is seeking increases that would equal $53 per hour by the last year of the contract. The employers contend that the OCU members are the highest paid office workers in the nation.

Future of Wakefield men's clothes shop in doubt
A Wakefield clothes shop will continue to trade for the time being, despite the company being put into administration.
Greenwoods Menswear Limited has appointed Deloitte LLP as administrators but no redundancies have been announced at this stage.
The branch on Wakefield’s Little Westgate has a notice in the window outlining the status, but says it will remain open for now.
Adrian Berry, appointed a joint administrator, said: “We are currently assessing the options available, including a potential sale of the business, and are continuing to trade it in the meantime.
“No redundancies are being announced at this stage and we are grateful to the employees for their support at this difficult time. This is a challenging time for the UK retail sector, which has affected the company.”
The Bradford-based company employs 318 people with most working across 60 stores nationwide. Founded as a hat shop by Sir Willie Greenwood in 1860 and the brand grew to have about 200 stores until numbers dwindled in the 1990s.

LIMAY, Bataan- Police on Sunday night arrested a 23-year old man who admitted having raped a 15-year old half-sister in a grassy area here.
Jusly Jose of Townsite in Limay town while under investigation asked forgiveness from his younger sister. He admitted being drunk at the time. “Sana mapatawad mo pa ang kuya mo, nagkamali ako at wala ako sa sarili ko,” he said.
Chief Insp. Edgar Balagso, Limay police chief, said they immediately arrested the suspect after relatives of the victim complained minutes after the sexual molestation at 7:30 in the evening of Sunday.
PO1 Joan Javier, assistant chief of the women’s and children’s protection desk, said the victim is a 15-year old girl who is the half-sister of suspect. The two have the same mother but live in separate houses.
The policewoman said the two unintentionally met at a swimming pool in Limay.
The girl trusting her elder brother asked him to bring her home for fear that her mother will scold her.
The brother even allegedly told the girl to text their mother that they were together.
“Habang naglalakad ang magkapatid bandang alas-7:30 ng gabi sa lugar na walang masyadong bahay, hinatak ni kuya sa dalawang kamay ang kapatid at ibinalibag sa damuhan,” the policewoman said.
Javier said they were waiting for the result of a medico-legal examination and will file a case for rape against suspect.

De La Sablière said that he thought there had to be some mention in any resolution of the disputed Sheba Farms territory on the Golan Heights, which Lebanon claimed, but that everyone else thought was Syrian land under Israeli occupation, and the “exchange of prisoners,” all of which suggested that France, the former League of Nations mandatory power in Lebanon, was simply acting as Siniora’s mouthpiece.
That was the year that the League of Nations received what amounted to its deathblow.
They included the League of Nations 'interventions in the Spanish civil war and the Covenant which the Italians had defied by invading Abyssinia, today known as Ethiopia.
As part of the Treaty of Versailles, which detailed the terms of German surrender, Wilson proposed a League of Nations to mediate conflicts between nations, along with an international court and a set of international laws that would bind not just the weak but also the strong.
In 1936, when even the ACTU revised its stand on Abyssinia and approved collective security through the League of Nations in support of Spanish workers, Curtin was resolute for appeasement and isolation: "To be drawn into war in spite of everything would be bad enough, but deliberately to indicate our willingness to be a participant for or against certain European groups would be a piece of national madness".

10th March 17
Co existence. According to the Royal Spanish Academy dictionary coexistence is the action of living together; living in the company of another or others. It is ironic how, although we don´t see it, we coexist daily with the rest of people. We coexist with our parents, our children, our friends, our classmates and our teachers. We live in the company of all those people around us every day and in spite of this we are often not aware of the great company they provide – we don´t know how to appreciate them and we don´t see all that we have.
With this spirit of being together, not only coexisting but being aware of it; with the spirit of encouraging companionship and friendship, one more year 4th year Secondary and Baccalaureate students went on a trip to the mountains to spend the day hiking with all our classmates, giving ourselves the opportunity to get to know each other better and make new friendships.
After an hour’s coach journey we reached Benamahoma where the walk began. A perfect moment to do exercise, enjoy the wonderful scenery and coincide along the way with classmates we only usually see in the corridor, creating a stronger link between year groups. We helped each other, made the going easier along the paths and chatted and got to know each other better. Once we arrived at the end of the trail, all of us exhausted from the overwhelming heat, we had a picnic in the country, enjoyed our mutual company and afterwards playing football or other games, even with the teachers – an opportunity to get out of the normal routine and the stress of exams.
On the way back it was inevitable we should feel sad and nostalgic. It was the last trip for 2nd year Baccalaureate students. All these shared moments, experiences lived and stories that remain with us and will always do so. A day full of unforgettable moments, a means of knowing each other better and being in contact with nature.
Having reached this point the only thing left is to say thank you. Thanks to the School for making it possible for us to have all these memories, thanks to my year group for having shown so much solidarity, for having always been united and thanks to all those classmates who went on the trip and demonstrated once again that coexistence is not just an empty word but makes a lot of sense when you are surrounded by people who really make you feel in company.

This is a special little herb, which for me never gets enough attention or credit for how it tastes. It’s very common, and the chances are whilst you are reading this, there is a small patch either growing in your garden, or growing very close nearby. It suffers a life of lawnmowers and being dug up by gardeners who loathe it. However, I’m sure that if these gardeners stopped to pay it a little more attention, then the chances are it would be left to grow happily.
Hairy bittercress is a small plant of approximately 5-30cm tall. It has minute white flowers, and dark green leaves which form a rosette close to the ground. The seedpods are cylindrical and when ripe, the case explodes with force, dispersing the seeds some distance, hence its ability to find its way across the garden in quick succession. It’s common on short grasslands and even rocky places and walls. It’s certainly abundant in my own garden here in Essex (South East of Britain).
You can gain an idea of size of the plant next to my hand.
The leaves, seed pods and flowers are all edible, and taste just like that of watercress Rorippa nasturtium-aquaticum, but without the risk of liver fluke, or illness from contaminated water. For me, I actually prefer it to watercress, and think it goes exceptionally well with cheese, or egg sandwiches. The leaves are usually available throughout the cold winter months as well as the warmer months.
Try leaving a pot of a peat in your garden and the chances are that some of this delightful little herb will soon pop up.
All of the pictures contained here were taken in my garden. I allow it to grow and I’d estimate that I have 200 plants at present. By removing the flowers and seed pods they continue to produce fresh leaves pretty much all year round.
LEAVES: the leaves have a peppery cress-like flavour and are perfect eaten raw in salads
FLOWERS: the small white flowers can be used in salads much like the leaves.
SEEDS: the seed pods and seeds may be eaten, but they are best when very young and light green in colour. As they age they may become tough and a little bitter.
OTHER USES / INTERESTING FACTS: the name ‘Hariy Bittercress’ is a poor one, as the plant only has a light covering of hairs as seen in the close-up picture.
