Planning as a Regulated Profession in Estonia
The common professional name is “Planeerija”.
EU Database Status:
The profession of “Planeerija” in Estonia is not included in the EU Database of Regulated Professions.
The Planning Act paragraph 6 prescribes that: a planner is a person who has a masters degree in geography, architecture or landscape architecture or a person who has been given the professional certificate as planner.
The Planning Act paragraph 4 section 7 prescribes that: In case the professional qualification of EU and EEA is approved, the Act of approval of foreign professional certificate will be applied. The relevant authority is Ministry of Finance.
The Planning Act paragraph 4 section 6 prescribes the competence of a planner:
The planner and other specialists participating in preparation of a plan must:
1) possess the knowledge and skills corresponding to the specific nature of the work
2) be guided by carefulness in order to guarantee a good quality to the plan and take into consideration the presented requirements.
3) be guided by the obligation to give explanations including providing information to the organisers of the planning activity or other interested persons concerning issues relevant for the planning work.
4) guarantee that the plan is in accordance with legislation.
The professional standards for the planner are approved by the Cultural Council (Kultuurinõukogu) appointed by the Minister of Education and Science 28.03.2012
The professional certificat is issued by the Association of Estonian Planners since 22.11.2014.
Regional regulation: None.
Universities with approved trainings in Estonia
In Estonia, no comprehensive curriculum in spatial planning is currently provided. Planning is thought as a sub-subject in several universities.
Planning and planning-related courses are provided, in Estonia, by:
• Estonian University of Life Science, https://www.emu.ee/en/
• University of Tartu, http://www.ut.ee/en
• Estonian Academy of Arts, http://www.artun.ee/en/
• Tallinn University, http://www.tlu.ee/en
• Tallinn University of Technology, http://www.ttu.ee/en
Example from “ECTP-CEU Draft Stage 2 Study on the Recognition of Planning Qualifications in Europe”:
Master of Urban Studies, Estonian Academy of Arts:
Here it is a two year course with a heavier part on planning product and thesis, like other courses in countries with a strong tradition of architecture and engineering in spatial planning.
Town Planning Press of Estonia
The following journals are occasionally publishing articles and overviews about plans and planning:
Town Planning matters are divided between the different competent levels in Estonia, providing four types of documents:
• “Üleriigiline planeering” (National Spatial Plan)
• “Maakonnaplaneering” (County Plan)
• “Üldplaneering” (Comprehensive Plan)
• “Detailplaneering” (Detailed Plan)
“Üleriigiline planeering” (National Spatial Plan):
It is a document prepared with the aim of defining the objectives in development matters on the national scale. It provides guidelines for a sustainable spatial development through the creation of the basis for transport network, infrastructures, and the regional development of the State.
Maritine areas can be dealt with in the form of a thematic plan covering both the territorial waters and the economic zone.
The National Spatial Plan “Estonia 2030+” was enforced by the Government in August 2012.
“Maakonnaplaneering” (County Plan):
A County Plan has the same purpose than the National Plan but on a smaller level. It is prepared for the territory of a county, as a whole or not. Unlike the National Plan, it can be created without covering all parts of the county, or be based on a theme if another county plan exists. Thanks to an agreement between the different parties, a county plan can integrate several counties. It ensures sustainable and balanced development while responding to the national and local needs.
The County plans were initiated by the Government in July 2013 and are being prepared by all County administrations. The plans should be finalized by the end of 2016.
“Üldplaneering” (Comprehensive Plan):
It determines general objectives for the development of cities or more rural areas and sets out the bases for the creation of the last listed plan. It can concern several cities, or being created for a special theme for example; more and more thematic plans are created on matters such as coastal areas, cultural sites or green systems. This Plan determines the general use of the land and defines locations for the public structures and networks, while promoting sustainable development and natural protection. It can be seen with buildings exclusion zones.
“Detailplaneering” (Detailed Plan):
Usually prepared for small areas, this plan sets out rules and divisions of new building areas. It establishes the architectural and natural frameworks that must be followed, thanks to drawing illustrations of the content of the plan. It also determines the needs for easements, which can only be created with the agreement of the owner.
• Ministry of Finance since 01.09.2015 (Ministry of Internal Affairs before, Ministry of Environment before),

How to Make a Tight U-Turn on a Motorcycle
Performing a U-turn on a motorcycle is one of the toughest maneuvers, particularly for new riders. In fact, many veteran riders find U-turns so tricky because they rarely have the opportunity to practice. Here’s a quick walkthrough to help you master the U-turn in tight spaces without dropping your bike.
Step One: Prepare for the Turn
It’s best to start off going in a straight line before the actual turn to prepare and maintain a steady speed. Slip the clutch, open the throttle and gently ease onto the rear brake. Some riders recommend creating a bit of a struggle between the engine and the rear brake to add stability. The speed you’re traveling as you approach the turn is the same speed you should maintain as you make the U-turn as well.
Step Two: Starting the U-Turn
Next, turn your head sharply to look where you’re planning to turn. Your head should be turned sharp enough that your chin rests on your shoulder. Keep your eyes fixed on this point and turn the handles while maintaining a vertical posture. Allow only the bike to lean into the U-turn and be sure to apply pressure to your outside foot peg. This will negate the lean to a degree. If it helps, shift your weight toward the outside edge of the bike seat.
Step Three: Addressing Potential Problems
If you feel like the bike is falling in, you are probably leaning into the U-turn instead of keeping your posture straight. Fix this by straightening your back and applying more weight to the foot peg on the outside. It may also help to open the throttle and release the clutch a little to reduce the momentum pulling the bike down. As you turn, remember to use the rear brake, which helps the control feel tighter and reduces the bike’s tendency to fall down.
Another potential problem is the bike heading toward the curb. This is a common problem for new riders attempting U-turns because their attention is often distracted. For some beginners, just looking at the curb can throw off their attention, cause a panic or cause them to steer off course. Remember to keep your eyes focused on where you want the bike to be at the end of the U-turn.
U-turns take a great deal of practice and require more time and attention than general riding. New riders should set aside some time each week to practice tight U-turns in parking lots until they perfect this necessary skill.

Oldest map in western Europe found engraved on 14,000-year-old chunk of rock
We all rely on maps, be they the sat nav in your car or a traditional A-Z, and archaeologists have found our ancient ancestors were no different.
They have unearthed what they believe to be the oldest map in Western Europe, in a Spanish cave steeped in legend.
The complex etchings were engraved on a hand-sized rock 13,660 years ago, probably by Magdalenian hunter-gatherers.
The Journal of Human Evolution has released pictures of what Spanish scientists say is a map etched in stone dating back some 13,660 years
A team led by Pilar Utrilla from the University of Zaragoza in Spain, discovered the rock in 1994 but it has taken them 15 years to disentangle the mess of etched lines.
They appear to show a prominent peak nearby as well as rivers, ponds and scrubland. There are also recognisable sketches of animals including reindeer, a stag and some ibex.
'All of these engravings could be a sketch or a simple map of the area around the cave. It could represent the plan for a coming hunt or perhaps a narrative story of one that had already happened,' they wrote in the Journal of Human Evolution.
They discovered the sandstone rock in the cave of Abauntz Lamizulo, which was traditionally thought to be the home of the 'lamias' or mythological bird-footed nymphs.
It would have been a strategic position for ancient hunters, as it dominates the canyon beneath, where animals would have grazed in the valley.
'The engraving seems to reproduce the meandering course of a river crossing the upper part of side A of the block, joined by two tributaries near two mountains,' they wrote.
'One of these is identical to the mountain that can be seen from the cave (San Gregorio), with herds of ibex depicted on its hillsides, on both sides of the gorge in front of which the cave of Abauntz is strategically located.'
The complex carvings were found on a small rock just a few inches across, and it took scientists 15 years to unravel the complex lines (see below)
The team speculated that circles represented flat zones which flooded with water.
The study has excited prehistoric archaeologists such as Lawrence Straus from the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque.
'This is a pretty spectacular find,' he told the New Scientist.
'It may give us a glimpse into the ways in which people navigated and explained their territories.'
The slab was etched at a time of great activity in the Navarre region of Spain. Humans were pushing northwards and having to co-operate and perhaps divide up land, following the ice age just 3,000 years before. This would give maps great importance.
'They had to live by their wits and what the landscape provided,' Strauss said.
However, other experts disagree with the map interpretation. Jill Cook, head of the prehistory division at the British Museum said it was a 'brave' theory but it was unlikely hunters would need maps during this period.
'Multiple lines positioned over animal figures is not unusual in slabs of this period,' she told the New Scientist.
'We haven't traditionally considered them to be maps. Their intimacy and knowledge of the landscape, including the location of individual trees and plants, would be such that maps would be less vital to them.'
Only one older map has been found in Europe in Pavlov in the Czech Republic. This 25,000-year-old rock depicts a mountain, river and valleys from the region.
It was not until 600BC that the first known city map was drawn of Babylon on clay. It was found in Sippar, southern Iraq.

Objective: To accurately document the incidence of lymph node metastases (LNM) in early esophageal adenocarcinoma with regard to the depth of invasion of the mucosa or submucosa.Background: Endoscopic therapy is now being proposed as a viable treatment for submucosal esophageal adenocarcinoma. If such treatments are appropriate, then the risk of LNM must be shown to be low in these tumors.Methods: One hundred nineteen consecutive patients underwent radical esophagectomy alone for treatment of superficial esophageal adenocarcinoma or high-grade dysplasia. The resection specimens were analyzed by an expert gastrointestinal pathologist and the presence of LNM and the depth of tumor invasion were recorded. Depth of invasion was classified as either confined to the mucosa, the first third of the submucosa, the middle third of the submucosa, or the final third of the submucosa.Results: Fifty-four patients had high-grade dysplasia or tumors confined to the mucosa with no evidence of LNM (0/54, 0%), 65 patients had tumor invading the submucosa with 8 patients having LNM (8/65, 12%). Subclassification of submucosal invasion showed that 5 of 22 "first third of the submucosa" tumors had LNM (23%), 1 of 24 "middle third of the submucosa" tumors had LNM (4%), and 2 of 19 "final third of the submucosa" tumors had LNM (11%).Conclusion: Invasion of the submucosa is associated with significant risk of LNM. Patients with submucosal invasion are not suitable for endoscopic treatment and surgical resection remains the gold standard treatment for patients with submucosal adenocarcinoma who are fit to undergo the procedure.

That's right, I finally have my own blog!
What is it about you ask? A little bit of everything relating to the media, from the 90's (Nostalgia) to the present (Dreamer). I've added a weekly Radio Station (5 songs handpicked by me, either from video games, television, the 90's, and more!). So you'll get a blast from the past, a handful of the present and a wink at the future.
Please register and comment
It would mean the world to me! And if you have subject ideas, music and video ideas, don't be shy to hand them over and I'll do my best to work on something for you. ^_^
EDIT: The background layout was changed due to complaints that the previous background made it hard to read. It should be fine now.

Road Cycling Highlight (Segment)
The Burgemeester Bloemersweg is a beautiful scenic road. It's winding, rolling and diverse. The one half is in the forest. The road is especially winding here and you might even bump into some Highlander cows here. The other half is on the edge of the forest with beautiful views over the heather fields of the Veluwezoom next to you. It's a beautiful road to ride your bike, as cars are not allowed here. There's also multiple places on the edge of the heather field to sit and rest and enjoy the view. A big shame if you're riding your bike here to miss out on this beauty!
April 11, 2020
A really nice path that runs straight through the Veluwezoom National Park. You will almost always come across Scottish Highlanders here and it is forbidden for cars. Usually busy on weekends with "normal" cyclists. Combines well with the beautiful climbs of the Posbank. Do not forget this path if you are in the area because it is really beautiful!
July 22, 2020
The Burgemeester Bloemersweg is a beautiful car-free road full of small hills and curves. The road is perfect asphalt and runs partly through forest and partly along a beautiful heathland. A must to include with every bicycle in your route!

Barwood buys office park
Barwood North, headed by ex-Patrick Properties MD Andrew Dickman, has acquired a 107,000 sq ft office scheme near Manchester Airport from Standard Life Investments for an undisclosed sum.
Greencourts, which will be renamed Manchester Green, was acquired off market and contains five self-contained buildings on a 7.5-acre site. Three of the buildings are vacant, giving Barwood room to add value. Vacant buildings range from 14,838 sq ft to 24,927 sq ft. Ingredion and Capita occupy the other two buildings.
Barwood said it will shortly start work on a comprehensive refurbishment programme, which will include new landscaping, signage, and, subject to planning, a drive-through coffee shop and a bike park.
Dickman said: "This is the third major acquisition that we have made since establishing the North West office of Barwood nearly 10 months ago and our first office scheme. We are steadily creating a diverse portfolio of industrial, office and leisure schemes which we have been able to secure using our own funds allowing us to complete transactions quickly."
Dickman continued: "Manchester Green is a complex site and we are hugely committed to making a substantial investment in the scheme not only to realise the true potential that it has to offer but also to take it to the next stage of evolution placing it ahead of other office schemes in the area."
Mark Canning of Canning O'Neill, who acted for Barwood on the acquisition and has been appointed as the sole letting agent, said: "Greencourts is a well-established business park. Barwood's vision to recreate the former glory of this prominently located scheme is spot on and, together with ongoing proactive management, will enable Manchester Green to attract high profile occupiers."
Whitaker Horton acted on behalf of Standard Life Investments.
In April, Barwood was appointed preferred developer by Halton Council on the 200,000 sq ft commercial development Venture Fields at Widnes Waterfront.
In January, Barwood and joint venture partner Legal & General Property bought 31 acres of industrial development land near Wigan from Georgia Pacific.

Didn’t Ex Friends release a full-length just a little while ago? They sure did, but that doesn’t stop these members of Plow United and Beach Slang to bust out four more tracks that take you a short road trip. Ever been in a car with someone who first can’t stop talking before falling asleep mid-sentence? That’s kinda what “Animal Needs” sounds like.
The EP opens with “Don’t Do It Like That (Do It Like This)”, which comes with a deliciously jangly riff that gets repeated throughout the entire song with some nice raw male/female vocals topping the whole thing. “Word Police” on the other hand is a short one-minute blast of punkrock before the band whips out a sax on closing track “Fadeage (City Inspector)”.
“Animal Needs” is short, sweet and shows a band that keeps on refining its sound while at the same time seeing how far they can stretch the whole thing. Ex Friends for now but I’m hoping it’s not too late yet to rekindle the friendship.

July is National Blueberry Month in the US. Blueberry is a very popular fruit, but it requires some specific soil conditions for success.
Blueberry plants are hardy shrubs that can produce abundant yields of delicious and nutritious fruit. While blueberry is relatively easy-to-grow and care for when planted in a suitable location and soil, they will never thrive and may fail completely if the soil pH is not in the proper range.
To be successful, blueberries must be planted in strongly acidic soil, with a pH between 4.0 and 5.6. Most soils, even naturally acidic soils, will need to have their pH lowered in order to succeed with blueberries.
Conducting a soil pH is the best first step to take when planning to plant blueberries. Blueberry plants will quickly begin to show signs of distress and poor growth if planted in soil with a pH that is too high. Soil testing can be done with home test kits or pH meters or by sending a soil sample to a local Cooperative Extension Service office.
Elemental sulfur can be used to lower soil pH and make the soil more acidic. Soil pH is reduced when sulfur is broken down by soil bacteria. Because a significant reduction in soil pH may be required before planting blueberries, based on the soil test results, several applications over the course of a growing season may be needed to reduce the soil pH to the range that blueberries require.
Earth Science Fast Acting Sulfur® is pelletized for easy handling. It is made from a blend of elemental sulfur and gypsum, plus our Nutri-Bond polymer. This unique formulation helps to improve soil structure and water infiltration as well as adjusting pH.
For more information on blueberry plants and soil pH, contact us today!

So Achan answered Joshua and said, "Truly, I have sinned against the LORD, the God of Israel, and this is what I did: when I saw among the spoil a beautiful mantle from Shinar and two hundred shekels of silver and a bar of gold fifty shekels in weight, then I coveted them and took them; and behold, they are concealed in the earth inside my tent with the silver underneath it.” Joshua 7:20-21
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law. Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Galatians 5:16-24
Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” Matt 19:21
Today's thoughts from today's verses:
Initial faith in Christ so identifies us with the crucifixion, burial, and resurrection of Christ that we become recipients of all that Christ accomplished through His sacrifice. Initially this means that we are declared righteous and in God’s eyes we are made a habitat fit for Him to dwell in. Ongoing faith in Christ as He dwells in us causes us to be crucified to the flesh and raised to newness of life in Him in our actual day by day experience. Our enthusiasm in life is directed away from evil “treasures” and is centered on abiding in Christ so that He is free to deliver us from evil and produce His righteousness in us in an ongoing way. We truly become dead to the flesh with its passions and desires and alive to God and his treasure-store of spiritual fruit.
Today's prayer response from today's thoughts:
Lord, I confess that the desires and deeds of the flesh prevail far too often in my life. Please keep directing my heart and life away from evil treasures and toward you and all that is heavenly. I want to be alive to you. I want to abide in you. And I want to abound in spiritual fruit. I trust that you will fill me with a passion for all that truly counts with you. Amen!

Searching for the roots of faith and heritage
Leading the way is the Rev. Frank Kurzaj (holding the Panna Maria sign) as the group joins hundreds of travelers to take in the historic Vatican in Rome.
The 2014 trips to Silesia, Poland, sponsored annually by the Father Leopold Moczygemba Foundation, coincided this year with the canonization of both Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II. Due to overwhelming response, participants were divided into two groups and separate trips were scheduled but included the same destinations. The first group of 40 travelers participated in the canonization ceremony that took place on April 27. The second group of 32 travelers departed for Italy in June.
In Italy, the travelers from Texas joined with the many pilgrims from around the world to tour and visit many of the holy places in Rome. They visited St. Peter’s Basilica and prayed in front of the altars dedicated to St. John XXIII and St. John Paul II. They also visited several other basilicas and significant churches, and were able to pray in the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, and in the Church of the Holy Spirit (located near the Vatican). The travelers toured the catacombs, the Vatican museums, and the many places of ancient Rome. They traveled to the town of Assisi to visit the ancient basilicas. where they learned about St. Francis and St. Clare. The groups, together with many others, also participated in an audience with His Holiness Pope Francis. After seven days of traveling and searching for roots of faith and heritage, the groups departed for Poland.
Upon arriving in Poland, both groups were immersed in the beauty of the Polish culture. In Krakow, they learned about the history of Poland and became acquainted with all the special places so dear to St. John Paul II. In Krakow, Lagiewniki, they visited the Basilica of Divine Mercy and the “Do Not be Afraid” Center honoring St. John Paul II. They explored Wawel Castle, prayed in St. Mary’s Church, shopped in Old Market Square, and visited the Salt Mine in nearby Wieliczka.
From Krakow, they traveled to the region of Silesia, where the Polish Texans find their roots. On the way they stopped in Wadowice and visited the birthplace of St. John Paul II. They toured the Auschwitz concentration camp, an experience that will remain with them forever. From Silesia, they traveled to Czestochowa, the home of the Monastery of Jasna Gora, where they prayed in the Chapel of the Black Madonna.
In Silesia, they visited Pluznica, the birthplace of Father Leopold Moczygemba, then Kamien Sl., the birthplace of Saint Jacinto. They prayed at the Mount of St. Ann, and also in the many churches and cemeteries of different villages so dear to the thousands of Silesian-Texans. They participated in festive and educational meetings organized by local schools and other cultural institutions. They spoke with the local media people using the old Silesian dialect, and enjoyed meeting with many of the local bishops, among them Archbishop Stanislaw Gadecki, the president of the Polish Conference of Bishops. For those who met their distant relatives that today still bear the family names of the first Polish settlers that came to Texas from Silesia in the 19th century, it was an unforgettable experience.
After two weeks of learning, praying, and bonding, the pilgrims of both groups returned home to Texas, where, enlightened and enjoined, they are now sharing their experiences with others.

As a soon-to-be retired teacher, I would like to respond to the article, Salary increase for teachers not fully funded by province (June 14).
tap here to see other videos from our team.
I am sickened with the Wall government’s ploy to deliver cuts to education on the backs of teachers.
After 33 years, I have seen much government change — good, bad and indifferent. However, given this government’s penchant for attack ads, inability to consult with educators before implementing major change and now this latest tactic, I can say unequivocally that during my tenure the teaching profession in Saskatchewan has never encountered so much disrespect and demonization as it has in the past nine years with the Wall government.
The current $9 million shortfall for education has nothing to do with a modest wage increase for teachers, bargained in “good faith.” The government intended to make this cut to education all along.

I smell something good, /ck/.
What are you cooking right now?
Rice cakes stir-fried in sweet soy sauce with mushrooms, carrots, bell pepper, onion, garlic and spinach. After I saw this thread, I started to take some pics. This is the final thing. Sorry if the pic isn't very good or if the food looks bad. It had a great smell and tasted really rather nice.
Please give me your typical shopping list. I wanna learn how to shop because I usually always end up buying the same things and I'm sick of microwaveable pasta and doritos.
Thanks ! (budget is unlimited)
The majority of the items I've bought from the store in the past month.

What's for dinner boys?
Here's mine nothing special but it gets the job done
I just ordered a bunch of ramen, a large order of fried rice, 2 humongous wontons, 12 pieces of gyoza, and a large order of steamed rice from a ramen place I live down the street from that does delivery.
>tfw that my only meal for my tues-weds weekend besides the ice cream I just ate
Annoyances with eating habits/food in general.
>People who eat all of one component of a dish before moving onto another component.
This is bad for two reasons. First, it means that you do not appreciate the combined flavours of the dish as intended. Secondly, it means that the person fails to appreciate that the best way to consume their least favourite component (i.e. a certain vegetable) is in small amounts in between mouthfuls of nicer components.
>Everyone knows this yes, but people who make no effort to not eat loudly/with their mouth open.
>People who eat a shared snack/food item very quickly, forcing you to eat too quickly or miss out on your share.
>Bad table manners in an adult. My Father is absolutely terrible. He eats SUPER quick, and then proceeds to do stupid shit with all the time he was to wait for others. This includes: Reaching across the table, grabbing some food with a fork/spoon, and putting it directly in his mouth (especially annoying when its a shared dessert where you may want more). Wiping up leftover sauce from his meal with his finger and (LOUDLY!) licking it off. Also prior/during eating: Serving himself some sauce from a jar and then taking a big spoonful at the end and putting it straight in his mouth. Eating loudly. To top this all off, he is incredibly impatient and will comically get agitated very quickly if he's sat down ready to eat and his wife is finishing something off in the kitchen, before racing through his food, causing him to wait several minutes for his wife.
The only thing I can commend him for is the rule of waiting for everyone to be served before starting to eat. Although this isn't entirely true as he can't help but sometimes pick at his meal and have a quick mouthful.
betcha ya been told how to eat tube steak and chocolate starfish before, ya nancy boy
New to /ck/ so sorry if I'm doing this wrong or if I'm on the wrong board
How do you cook fish to get the most nutrients out of it? Preferably in a budget friendly way, but I'll take what I can get. Trying to get fit and there's nothing on /fit/'s sticky about how to cook anything except vegetables.
Can't tell if sarcasm or serious, but I guess the question doesn't make a lot of sense. I'll go in depth a little
How do I cook fish in a way that isn't frying it, while keeping its nutritional value as high as I can?
p.s. sorry for the humongous image file, had no idea it was that big
why does this make everything better?
this is where i punch you in the face
seriously talk to me like that in public
i think im a nice guy most times but just say that shit to me one time to my face in the real world
talk to me about how i have shit taste in tomato sauces and literally we will see what happens
Not that guy, and i'm usually the last guy who tries to act like a food snob, but Frank's really is pretty shit-tier hot sauce.
You taste so much vinegar that you can't even enjoy the heat.
Get some Texas Pete or Cholula.
Times are hard.
Help a fellow in need, give me all you've got
has anyone had one of them dollar sliders
i had spicy beef and was p nice
i think im gonna go today and get a burrito
How in the dick are you suppose to work this stuff? I'm leaving it out covered by a cloth for 30 minutes (bought chilled not frozen), but I is still very tough to handle and wants to turn back into a ball. I strongly doubt its my dough, buy it from a local pizza joint of good quality.
Just keep going, yeast dough isn't like pastry dough. You only get a tiny bit of extra area each time you work it with a roller ... that's why they do the spinning in the air thing.
Hi, /ck/. I'm literally retarded when it comes to cooking. I want to season some raw ground beef in preparation for stuffing it into some jalapeños. I know fuck all about cooking and don't know what I should season this shit with or what else to toss in with the ground beef so that the peppers don't end up as just boring "jalapeños with some seasoned beef inside". Suggestions? I can't use cheese, unfortunately.
Really all you need is salt and pepper. Cumin and paprika would probably be nice too but honestly I don't see that as required.
Next time use pork sausage meat instead of ground beef. If your market doesn't sell it in bulk just buy a pack of italian sausages (or pork breakfast sausage) and remove the meat from the casing.
That sounds good. I think I'll try that, first.
I had some ground beef left over from when I bought a bunch of ingredients and my friend made us some meat loaf. Shit was delicious.
I'll try this some time, too, minus the frying. I'm mostly interested in the jalapeños because they're supposed to be good at banishing this fucking yeast from my kidneys. Shit's painful.
Post foods that have been completely ruined by this website.
So I just fucked up making bread, any experts care to weigh in?
It's too dense so I think I fucked up with the yeast, and this fucking electric oven has a heating element at the top only, so it's practically a glorified grill that burnt the top of the bread after ten mins of the half hour I was meant to leave it in for, so I flipped it upside down... disaster.
Sorry for going full Gordon Ramsey... the frustration is still strong. Any hints/tips would be appreciated, especially if anyone deals with an oven as crap.
I did when I saw what was happening, but I didn't even think. I just moved and I'm completely out of the habit of cooking (especially bread) so I just went about it like I ordinarily would.
Should the heating element being there not really be an issue then, or is it just going to kind of suck for baking do you think?
Can you make all the same recipes from a slow-cooker in a pressure cooker? Can you convert the cooking times, etc...
In theorie you could but in practice to get the same quality no you can not. It al has to do with the unfolding of proteins inside the meat. Doing it to fast will cause the strings of protein to rip, it will still be tender but it won't be able to keep as much moist making it dry. Slow cooking has a right in it's own and pressure cooking is just the lazy mans version.
>Can you make all the same recipes from a slow-cooker in a pressure cooker? Can you convert the cooking times, etc...
Yes. There is no exact conversion, but roughly speaking:
A pressure set at 15 psi cooker takes approx 1/3 the time compared to a traditional braise (simmering on the stove or in the oven). So if you had a stew recipe that said to simmer it for 3 hours then it would take about 1 hour in the pressure cooker.
A slow cooker on "low" takes roughly...

I can't even find regular, good quality mugs on Amazon. Look at this junk...
Anyone order any mugs off Amazon that you find particularly nice? I have a bunch of oblong and odd shaped cups that are just kind of stupid (arts and craft store, storm trooper, Boston terrier mug) and I'm looking for something a little more traditional but can't find anything really nice just with the search here.
I would recommend just looking around your local supermarkets / Good Will-esque shops. The shipping cost of mugs generally doesn't make it worth it online unless you find something you really like.

Whitchurch Silk Mill and its grounds open for free as part of Heritage Open Days for the first Silk Mill Food Festival on Saturday 18th September. Organisers are determined to spoil visitors with a selection of delicious delights and tasty treats from local culinary suppliers. The event, which organisers hope will become an annual event, will showcase the tastes and flavours of the local area.
The Mill’s popular country show was last held in 2014 before the Mill was restored, but the Mill Team want to see this new Food Festival become an annual event making the most of the beautiful grounds and gardens of the historic mill on the banks of the River Test.
The Silk Mill Food festival will cater for all tastes and appetites and has a wide variety of attractions including food and drinks stalls, weaving and spinning demonstrations, Face Painting by Messy Nessy face painting, children’s cookery workshops by Cookery Doodle Do and food-themed activities for families.
Stallholders will include Bombay Sapphire and Long Dog Brewery and there will be delicious food from Denning’s of Whitchurch, Grandad Mike’s fudge and The Hampshire Deli among others. There is also a Pimm’s tent provided by the Mill’s volunteers.

The Burning Island performance was born at the invitation of our friend and collaborator Predrag Popara. The performance took place during his fine art exhibition held at the Belgrade City Museum.
The beautiful building, shaken in the past by violent hystorical events, was a source of inspiration for a tumultuous scenario about war, conflict, trauma and their consequences. The performers, disguised as mythical celestial creatures, gave birth to allegorical characters, embodying obsessive emotions like despair, panic, anxiety, fear, mingled with the reassuring feelings of love, pleasure and closeness. Inspired by Charlie Chaplin’s speech from The Dictator, the performance was centred on the existential statement about people thinking too much and feelig too little. The dreamy atmosphere led the audience into a state of contemplation towards the repercussions of war, while the supernatural creatures incited the spectators to react and participate directly in the show. The energy of the building, the musical accents, the repetitive dance movements, the strange masks, created an unique, fairytale-like atmosphere reviving the space of the Belgrade City Museum, once shattered to the ground by the human cruelty, now transformed into a magnificent spot for art and beauty.

The writer’s world creates a web of intrigue
Aspen Times Weekly
Any time we put ourselves in the hands of a writer, it is an act of faith on a variety of levels. Do the writer’s words accurately reflect events that happened? Does the writer believe in his own words? Is the name attached to the writing even the person who actually did the writing?
Writers are capable of all manners of trickery, from half-truths to outright deceit. And included in this bag of tricks is storytelling, where blind corners in the plot and unexpected emotional connections are a pre-agreed part of the deal. In the best stories, our faith is justified: Those improbable twists and bonds deliver, and the manipulation of characters and action becomes something close to magic.
The French film “Roman de Gare,” by director/screenwriter Claude Lelouch, offers a nifty, multilevel take on the deceptions writers engage in. And more, the film hints at the very nature of writing as an art where the listener is constantly at risk of having the rug pulled out from under his feet.
The first level presented by “Roman de Gare” is the structure of a story. The film opens with a confusing sequence of scenes: a novelist being interviewed on a TV show; a serial rapist has escaped from prison; a stressed-out woman is in a car with her boyfriend, heading to her parents’ farm. How are the strands related? Are they related? Lelouch doesn’t even tip his hand to suggest which of these strands we should follow. The viewer is on shaky ground, indeed.
And then Lelouch’s sense of the conventional takes over. The stressed woman, Huguette (Audrey Dana), is abandoned at a highway stop by her boyfriend. Eventually, she decides to take a ride with an odd-looking man, Pierre (Dominique Pinon), whose activities at the gas station ” performing magic tricks for little girls ” are highly suspicious. Driving to the mountains, the two fall into an easy camaraderie, and Huguette decides she will pass off the stranger as her boyfriend, so as not to disappoint her parents.
Here, “Roman de Gare” itself falls into an easy, and highly satisfying, story of offbeat quasi-romance. (It is worth noting here that the film is a comedy, a thriller, a crime drama, a romance and a metaphysical meditation.) The combination of tension and warmth between Huguette and her family ” including her mostly estranged daughter, Sabrina ” is vivid and believable. And the progress of the relationship between Huguette and Pierre becomes not only the center of attention, but a promising love story.
But wait, wait, wait. Pierre ” who is he? Is he not the escaped rapist? What of those strands of story that were floated at the film’s beginning, which still hover over the story?
Who is this woman whose husband has left her, and who is this police officer investigating the case? And who is this writer, Judy Ralitzer (Fanny Ardant), on the TV show?
The film leaves the stability of the old country farm, where nothing seems to have changed in a century or two, to look at these other characters. And like that, we have slipped back into the maze, only amplified by several orders of magnitude.
There is a murder ” or was it an accident? Or an intentional disappearance? Who is Pierre ” The rapist? The man who left his wife and has gone missing? Or is he the man behind the curtain, pulling all the strings?
I will reveal only two things:
One, Pierre is (probably), as he said at the beginning, a ghost writer ” the faceless presence who gives us not his name, but the story.
Two, for all its impressive sleight of hand, “Roman de Gare” manages to pull off a couple of neat tricks. All the strings get tied together in the end. And all the metaphysical musings would amount to very little without the convincing emotion pulled off by lead actors Pinon and Dana.
“Roman de Gare” shows Sunday and Monday, July 6-7, at Paepcke Auditorium in the SummerFilms series.

KSHV activation of MAPKs and associated cellular pathogenesis following de novo
infection has been firmly established. KSHV-encoded IL-6 (vIL-6) and G protein-coupled receptor (vGPCR) upregulate angiopoietin-2 expression through the activation of ERK in lymphatic endothelial cells (14
). vGPCR also induces VEGF expression and secretion through the activation of ERK and p38 (13
). Furthermore, two KSHV genes, K15 and ORF49, initiate ERK and JNK/p38 activation, respectively (7
). Finally, ERK activation appears critically important for the establishment of KSHV gene expression during de novo
). Although these studies underscore the importance of MAPK activation for KS pathogenesis, clinical applications of small molecules targeting intracellular kinases are problematic given the nonselectivity of kinase inhibitors and associated toxicities (17
). Identifying novel mechanisms for KSHV regulation of MAPK activation may, therefore, offer more clinically tractable approaches for the treatment and prevention of KS.
We found that KSHV represses DUSP1 expression during de novo
infection. These data contradict results from one study mentioned previously (24
) but are well supported by our observations of repression of DUSP1 protein and transcript expression under conditions of de novo
infection of HUVEC and HFF by KSHV, repression of DUSP1 expression with ectopic expression of miR-K12-11, miR-K12-1, or xCT, and derepression of DUSP1 with miR-K12-11- or miR-K12-1-specific antagomirs applied to KSHV-infected HUVEC. Additional characterization of DUSP1 expression in a larger array of KSHV-infected primary cell types would help determine the cell type-specific nature of our findings. Although our work has initially focused on DUSP1 for reasons outlined above, “fine-tuning” of MAPK activation may occur in KSHV-infected cells as a result of simultaneous viral regulation of different DUSPs, and additional studies should confirm the functional relevance of these coordinated efforts.
Although our work to date has focused on KSHV miRNA-associated mechanisms for maintaining DUSP1 suppression at later time points during de novo
infection, it is likely that multiple KSHV-associated mechanisms, including viral replication-independent mechanisms, participate in the suppression of DUSP1. This is supported by our observation that miR-K12-11 expression and function are optimal beginning 24 h after KSHV incubation with primary cells in our experiments, along with our kinetic assays that reveal DUSP1 suppression within 10 min of incubation with either UV-KSHV or KSHV. The half-lives of DUSP1 protein and transcripts are relatively short (less than 2 h and as short as 40 min [19
]), so it is plausible that discernible differences in their expression may be observed over a short time frame. One possibility is that DUSP1 suppression in KSHV-infected cells is the result of ERK-dependent ubiquitin-proteasome degradation of DUSP1, as previously observed for other cancer cells (59
). However, DUSP1 suppression with UV-KSHV is not observed at 30 min despite the induction of ERK activation to levels 10-fold greater than those for controls at this time point (the latter result is in accord with previously published data for the kinetics of ERK activation for cells following their incubation with UV-KSHV [12
]). It is also possible that proteasome activity unrelated to ERK influences DUSP1 expression; proteasome activity influences signaling in human KSHV-infected lymphoma cell lines (60
), so we cannot categorically dismiss this possibility.
A second possibility is that virus interactions with the cell surface may trigger DUSP1 downregulation. Our observation that UV-KSHV reduces DUSP1 expression within 10 min, but that heat-inactivated KSHV does not (data not shown), supports this concept. One report indicates that KSHV interactions with toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4) mediate innate immune responses to KSHV (61
), and alterations in DUSP1 expression in response to TLR4 engagement (62
) and dendritic cell interactions with influenza virus (63
) have been reported. It is plausible, therefore, that in the absence of established KSHV gene expression (as with UV-KSHV), TLR-induced, MAPK-dependent activation of cytokines induces subsequent activation of DUSP1 in order to repress MAPK activation in a negative feedback loop.
A recent report indicates that murine herpesvirus-68 miRNAs are packaged within the virion (64
). Therefore, a third possibility is that packaged KSHV miRNAs suppress DUSP1 expression at early time points, and the less-robust DUSP1 suppression observed with UV-KSHV within 10 min of viral incubation may result from an attenuated effect of these miRNAs due to UV-irradiation (and no effect at later time points).
In addition to the likelihood of DUSP1 regulation by replication-independent mechanisms in KSHV-infected cells, it is plausible that DUSP1 expression is regulated by other replication-dependent mechanisms. Previous work has indicated that multiple KSHV miRNAs upregulate xCT, possibly through the targeting of other transcriptional repressors, including c-Maf (32
). In addition, despite our results for luciferase assays indicating a lack of direct interactions between miR-K12-11 or miR-K12-1 and the DUSP1 3′ UTR, we cannot categorically exclude direct interactions between these two miRNAs and DUSP1, since it has been recognized that both cellular and viral miRNAs bind sequences within the 5′ UTR and coding regions of target genes (67
). Moreover, the binding of KSHV miRNA to DUSP1 UTRs may be cell type specific. Nevertheless, our data suggest that multiple KSHV miRNAs coordinately regulate DUSP expression.
Our data are consistent with published data indicating that the upregulation of xCT by miR-K12-11 results in xCT-mediated activation of 14-3-3β expression, which, in turn, leads to 14-3-3β-mediated transcriptional repression of DUSP1 (32
). For additional confirmation, we show that targeting 14-3-3β restores DUSP1 expression and reduces the production of promigratory factors and endothelial cell invasiveness under conditions of either KSHV infection or ectopic miR-K12-11 expression. The expression of FBI1 and its effect on the transcriptional repression of DUSP1 were not directly addressed in our studies. Additionally, our data do not exclude the possibility that KSHV induction of 14-3-3β expression influences other genes which themselves regulate DUSP1 expression, cytokine expression, and/or endothelial cell invasiveness. For example, published data indicate that 14-3-3β facilitates Raf/Ras activation through the coupling of protein kinase C-ζ to Raf-1 (71
), and we and others have demonstrated that KSHV induction of ERK-dependent VEGF expression and endothelial cell invasiveness are due, in part, to KSHV regulation of Ras/Raf activation (34
). Furthermore, the mechanisms through which xCT induces 14-3-3β expression require additional clarification.
DUSP1 expression is induced by growth factors, the initiation of cellular stress, or pharmaceuticals, including retinoids and glucocorticoids (55
). We found that the glucocorticoid dexamethasone induces DUSP1 expression while inhibiting KSHV activation of ERK during de novo
infection. We cannot exclude the possibility that dexamethasone impacts the expression of KSHV genes that regulate ERK activation, or the expression of genes (viral or cellular) that impact cell invasiveness independent of DUSP1. Moreover, although glucocorticoids are used routinely for the treatment of KSHV-associated lymphoma (77
), they also upregulate phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt activation and nitric oxide synthase activity (78
), both of which are associated with KS progression (32
). Existing clinical data further suggest that glucocorticoids may increase the incidence of KS in organ transplant recipients or may exacerbate existing KS lesions (80
), and it remains controversial whether glucocorticoids induce lytic viral gene expression in latently infected cells (82
). DNA-damaging agents such as doxorubicin may actually induce DUSP1 expression (19
), and a recent study indicated that overexpression of DUSP1 protected breast cancer cells from chemotherapy-induced apoptosis through the repression of caspase activation and DNA fragmentation caused by doxorubicin or paclitaxel (89
). The effects of DUSP1 induction may, therefore, prove undesirable in the context of KS treatment with either of these agents. Additional studies are clearly needed to determine whether pharmacologic upregulation of DUSP1 offers a tractable and safe approach to the treatment of KS.
In summary, our data reveal suppression of DUSP1 expression by miR-K12-11 through indirect mechanisms involving xCT-mediated upregulation of a transcriptional repressor of DUSP1 (14-3-3β) in KSHV-infected cells. We hypothesize that, along with replication-independent mechanisms for KSHV suppression of DUSP1 expression, this contributes to the constitutive MAPK activation and pathogenesis related to KS ().

Jurgen Klinsmann was hired to transform American soccer.
Not just the national team, but the nation's entire coaching structure.
With a sunny disposition and an open, chatty manner, Klinsmann had been viewed as a future United States coach when he retired as a player in 1998 and moved to California with his American wife. After coaching Germany to the World Cup semifinals in 2006, flirting with the U.S. job later that year and lasting less than a season with Bayern Munich, he finally replaced Bob Bradley when the Americans struggled in the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
"It also is vital I am involved in all the discussions with a lot of coaches out there, how we improve the grass-roots level," Klinsmann said. "I'm fascinated by that approach."
The 49-year-old Klinsmann scored 47 goals in 108 appearances for West Germany and Germany, winning the 1990 World Cup and 1996 European Championship. His club career included stretches at Stuttgart, Inter Milan, Monaco, Tottenham and Bayern Munich.
He speaks to players with the experience of playing at the highest level in Europe, and he embraces the types of statistical analysis, fitness techniques and advanced diet first employed by American coaches in other sports.
"He's different, but good different," United States defender DaMarcus Beasley said. "He's always full of life. He's always laughing. He's always smiling. He's very energetic, even in meetings. You can tell that he's happy to be here, happy to be the coach of the national team. I just think his persona will kind of rub off on us and give us that fight and that passion, the same how he played when he was a player."
Klinsmann's temperament may be more suited to the United States than it is his native Germany. Former Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness criticized Klinsmann for buying computers to prepare PowerPoint presentations of game plans for the club during the 2008-09 season.
Klinsmann already has committed to coach the United States through the 2018 World Cup. His message to his players often is simple. Despite all the high tech, the most important factor is effort.
"They dream about Champions League and they dream about playing for a big-name club and making a lot of money. It's all fine. But I'm telling them every time, you're not doing that by dreaming. You can only do it by working," Klinsmann said. "So if you think that five, six sessions a week is enough to get there, it's not. So if you add two sessions a week on your own, it will show a certain improvement."

The highly anticipated game, Hogwarts Legacy, has been delayed once again, leaving PlayStation 4 and Xbox One users in the dark. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the game’s release since its announcement in 2020, but the continuous delays have caused frustration and disappointment among gamers. In this article, we will discuss the reasons behind the delays and how it has impacted the gaming community.
The first reason for the delay is the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has caused a significant impact on the gaming industry, causing delays in the development and production of games. The pandemic has resulted in a shortage of supplies and manufacturing delays, which has impacted the entire gaming industry.
The second reason for the delay is the complexity of the game. Hogwarts Legacy is a massive open-world game set in the Harry Potter universe, allowing players to explore the iconic wizarding world. The game is being developed by Avalanche Software, who have emphasized the game’s complexity and attention to detail. The developers have stated that the game’s vastness and the number of systems in place make it challenging to produce.
The third reason for the delay is the controversy surrounding J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series. Rowling has faced criticism for her views on transgender individuals, causing controversy and backlash from fans. This has led to concerns about the game’s potential to promote the author’s views, resulting in a delay to ensure that the game’s content aligns with the values of the gaming community.
The delays have caused frustration and disappointment among PlayStation 4 and Xbox One users, who were hoping to play the game. Fans have taken to social media to express their disappointment, with some calling for refunds for pre-orders. The continuous delays have also caused concerns about the game’s quality and whether it will meet the expectations of fans.
However, it is important to note that delays can have positive effects on the game’s quality. The additional time can be used to ensure that the game is polished and meets the expectations of fans. Developers can use the extra time to address any issues and improve the game’s overall experience.
The delays have also allowed developers to address the concerns surrounding the game’s content. Avalanche Software has stated that they are committed to creating a game that aligns with the values of the gaming community. The delay has given them the time to ensure that the game’s content is respectful and inclusive of all individuals.
Fans of Harry Potter with PS4 and Xbox One consoles will have to wait even longer than those who have Hogwarts Legacy already. This morning, Avalanche Software stated on the game’s official Twitter account that the game would be further delayed until May 5, 2023, having previously been postponed until April 4, 2023.
For owners of last-gen consoles, Hogwarts Legacy has been postponed once more.
The tweet recognized Hogwarts Legacy’s widespread popularity and the fact that many fans are still eagerly awaiting its release if they do not possess a PS5, Xbox Series X|S, or a powerful PC. The tweet does add, though, that the optimal experience on all consoles will require additional work from the creators. Hogwarts Legacy has received excellent appreciation for its aesthetics and open-world reconstruction of the game’s namesake castle and its surroundings. Although if further delays are annoying, it is not surprising that more work would need to be done in order to make the fantastic experience they have provided on current-gen consoles as comparable as feasible.
The game’s Nintendo Switch release date had already been postponed to July 25, 2023. There is no information on whether this game’s release date might also be postponed.
In conclusion, the delays of Hogwarts Legacy have been frustrating for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One users. The reasons for the delays include the COVID-19 pandemic, the complexity of the game, and the controversy surrounding J.K. Rowling. However, it is important to note that delays can have positive effects on the game’s quality and content. The delay has allowed developers to address concerns and create a game that aligns with the values of the gaming community.
The delay in acceptance letters for PS4 and Xbox One players for Hogwarts Legacy is certainly disappointing for fans who have eagerly awaited the game’s release. While the developers have cited technical difficulties as the cause for the delay, it is understandable that fans may feel frustrated and disappointed with the situation. However, it is important to remember that the development team is working hard to ensure that the game is of the highest quality possible when it is finally released. In the meantime, fans can continue to look forward to the game’s eventual release and enjoy other Harry Potter-related content to satisfy their magical cravings.
