Developing a cult following with his niche brand of “herb” friendly lyrics, it seems only right that Wiz Khalifa would eventually reach mainstream success.
The Pittsburg native released his first album Show and Prove in 2006, after joining the Rostrum Records roster. Harboring a classic Hip-Hop vibe, the opus got the attention of Rolling Stone Magazine, who dubbed the young Wiz an “artist to watch.”
A brief stint with Warner Brothers Records was the product of several projects, including Grow Season, Prince of the City 2, Star Power and Flight School. Despite a number of appearances and collaborations, his debut album with the label never saw the light of day.
Parting ways with Warner, Wiz continued working with Rostrum and quickly became a trailblazer for the indie Hip-Hop scene. Circa 2009, Wiz joined New Orleans MC Curren$y to release their joint effort How To Fly. Khalifa stepped into new territory with this release; more melodic beats and even a bit of “singing,” if you call it that.
The rapper quickly made his way onto everyone’s watch list, scoring a spot on XXL’s coveted Freshman List, and The Source’s Rookie of the Year. Somewhere between releasing his Kush and Orange Juice mixtape and selling out shows with Yelawolf, Wiz’s career creeped to new heights.
Even a little marijuana trafficking couldn’t stop the rising star, who crossed over to the mainstream when he released his viral single “Black and Yellow” under Rostrum/Atlantic.
Releasing his Atlantic debut Rolling Papers, Wiz abandoned his underground roots for a more label-friendly style of sing-songy rap. He may have lost some fans along the way with his cross-genre transformation and all, but what’s more important is the way he was able to cultivate a loyal fan base organically, while rising to mainstream fame.

Climate change is a public health issue
Recently, Lancet, a prestigious, peer-reviewed medical journal, released the 2015 “Lancet Commission on Health and Climate Change: Policy Responses to Protect Public Health” to educate physicians, the public and policy makers. The executive summary states “the effects of climate change are being felt today and future projections represent an unacceptably high and potentially catastrophic risk to human health.”
It took decades to convince deniers that smoking caused cancer, and the health consequences have cost us billions. Today, fossil fuel promoters attempt to convince you that burning fossils is clean and healthy. Everything that burns pollutes. And the health impacts of burning fossil fuels and of climate change are clear.
The Lancet report states, “The direct effects of climate change include increased heat stress, floods, drought, and increased frequency of intense storms…the spread of disease vectors, food insecurity.” The report also warns, “to avoid the risk of potentially catastrophic climate change impacts requires total anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to be kept below 2,900 billion tons.” We are more than halfway to that level.
Global climate change causes some areas of the earth to turn to deserts while others flood. It results in heat waves and droughts like those in California, floods in Texas and tornadoes in Missouri. Extreme heat is closely connected to premature death and illness. Miami and Tampa are at risk for excessive heat days and flooding. Florida’s elderly population, young children and the disabled are especially vulnerable.
U.S. health care spending in 2013 reached $2.9 trillion. Reducing carbon emissions will not only help avoid catastrophic climate change, but will also save significant health care dollars. According to one study, the health benefits of air quality improvements in the U.S. alone would offset the costs of carbon-cutting policies tenfold.
Moving away from coal would yield immediate health benefits associated with worker illness and injury, respiratory conditions, cardiovascular disease and mercury exposure. A 2010 study found coal pollution in the U.S. causes 13,200 deaths, 9,700 hospitalizations and over 20,000 heart attacks a year. All together, coal pollution health care costs have reached $100 billion annually.
The Lancet Commission’s recommendations include: 1) Invest in climate and health research, 2) Build climate resilient health systems, 3) Protect cardiovascular and respiratory health by phasing out coal globally, 4) Replace with clean alternative energy, 5) Support cities that encourage healthy lifestyles, 6) Establish the framework for international carbon pricing and low carbon economy, 7) Expand access to renewable energy, and 8) Incorporate expert health and climate considerations into government strategies.
You may be asking, “What can I do?” Reduce your fossil fuel use. Support the conversion from coal and gas to solar and wind. Tell your political leaders to implement the Clean Power Plan. Support a carbon fee on polluters. Vote for the constitutional amendment for solar. Install solar panels.
The time is now to convert from an illness-causing carbon economy to a healthier, clean energy economy. The sooner we act, the less it will cost.

Social media is making Welsh people depressed about their own homes, a study has found.
More people are using apps like Instagram for interiors inspiration, but more than 50% who use the app in Wales feel dissatisfied with their homes after looking at images of other people’s houses.
Researchers who polled 1,500 UK adults who use social media for ideas for their homes found that just 31% of people in Wales are completely satisfied with the appearance of theirs.
A huge 80% of those who are displeased with their home admit to feeling this way once a month or more after scrolling through other properties on Instagram, with 25-34 year olds feeling dissatisfied most frequently.
One in ten admitted to feeling critical of their dwellings several times a day after comparing with other properties on the app, according to the study commissioned by door and window brand Origin.
It also found people have an unrealistic expectations of what their home should look like, worrying about flaws which would be unnoticeable to others, whilst feeling pressure to maintain a certain appearance in front of visitors.
This mindset has been described by chartered psychologist Dr David Lewis as Home Dysmorphic Disorder (HDD).
He said: “Our home is our shop window to the world; an outward and visible display of the way we want others to see and judge us.
“This is challenged when we are exposed, especially through social media such as Instagram, to the choices of others.
“The more comparisons we are able to make with the ways others present themselves to the world, the greater the dissatisfaction we may feel with our own surroundings.
“The more individuals worry about what friends, neighbours, and colleagues think of them, and this is more likely to be a concern for younger than older people, the greater their dissatisfaction.
“It is an increasingly common mindset that can be described as Home Dysmorphic Disorder.”
Women are said to be most at risk of developing HDD, and were found to be 22% more likely than men to be affected.
Ben Brocklesby, director at Origin, said: “We know that Instagram is a fantastic tool for gaining inspiration for your house and that many people find the time they spend looking at other people’s homes on the platform a very positive experience.
“Indeed, 84% of the people we surveyed feel that social media is useful in giving inspiration and advice on styling their home.
“However, it is important to remember that the perfect homes we see on Instagram are not always a true reflection of the homes that people live their lives in.”

With the Medicare population primed to double in size soon, you may be wondering how you'll take on all those annual wellness visits. A recent study offers some insight.
Medicare costs are expected to increase 80% over the next decade as the number of people covered by the program swells to 80 million by 2030, compared with 47 million today.
A new study from TeleVox Healthy World Report, titled “Healthcare Change: The Time is Now,” aims to help you and your primary care physician (PCP) peers identify the biggest needs of that population and develop ways to offer them better wellness care.
Focusing on preventive care rather than treating illness will reduce hospital stays and spending on chronic conditions, according to the study. Currently, more than half of the baby boomers surveyed say they do not believe they are in overall “good shape,” and nearly 30% say becoming healthy is a struggle. That’s in addition to the already large portion (70%) of Medicare beneficiaries who reported at least once chronic condition in 2008. Nearly 40% reported two to four chronic conditions, and 7% reported five or more.
New Medicare wellness efforts have been put in place, but the study notes that few beneficiaries have taken advantage of the programs, either because they didn’t know about them or their PCPs did not offer them.
According to the study, only 3.8%-1.2 million out of 31.5 million-of senior citizens took advantage of a new program started last year as a part of federal health reform efforts to offer annual wellness visits. TeleVox says some patients don’t know they are entitled to the benefit and that physicians are hesitant to tell patients about it because of the financial effect on their practices.
The program creates billing challenges and time problems for PCPs, according to the research, and 66% of the providers surveyed by TeleVox say the are poorly prepared to create wellness plans tailored to the needs of these patients. Another 71% say they are not prepared to engage patients throughout the year with communications to help them adhere to such plans.
But PCPs can be reimbursed by Medicare for regularly providing patients health information and education, and TeleVox says doctors must begin to leverage the skills of other staff members and take advantage of new electronic assessments to help conduct these visits.
Ideally, a PCP could have patients participating in Medicare annual wellness visits complete and submit forms electronically before the visit, detailing past medical history, family history, and a list of current medical providers and medications, and they also could complete a questionnaire on health habits.
If it’s not possible for patients to submit the forms electronically before visiting the office, they could mail the forms before the visit, or a staff member could input the data electronically when the patient arrives. Personal prevention plans then could be created through automated programs based on the patient’s own conditions and risk factors, and PCPs could select a pre-packaged series of automated reminders that match a patient’s treatment plan.
TeleVox, a provider of appointment reminder systems and physician Web site services, conducted the survey by email and online, polling more than 2,200 healthcare providers and more than 1,000 American adults.

The Freddy Stories, by Lynda Barry
When Montreal press Drawn & Quarterly began publishing influential cartoonist Lynda Barry in 2008, they focused on her long career as an inspirational teacher of writing and drawing. Picture This and What it Is drew heavily from Barry’s popular “Writing the Impossible” workshops and public speaking engagements (like the epic talk that she gave at the Ukrainian Federation in 2011), where she explained some of the secrets behind her artistic process.
These beautiful oversized volumes, a mix of writing and illustration, introduced Barry to a new audience, one that might have been unfamiliar with her brilliant weekly comic strip Ernie Pook’s Comeek, which ended its run in 2008 after nearly three decades of being serialized in dozens of alternative newspapers. Those only familiar with Barry’s career as a creativity guru may be surprised by the darkness and depravity of the humour in her comic strip, which concentrates on a trio of adolescent siblings being raised by their mother. Thanks to Drawn & Quarterly’s efforts, this influential work by a seminal alternative cartoonist is back in print in redesigned editions, first last year’s Blabber Blabber Blabber, collecting the earliest strips, and now The Freddie Stories.
The Freddie Stories focuses on the youngest, and perhaps the most screwed up member of the family in Barry’s comic strip. As Freddie’s older sister Marlys explains, sometimes her younger brother’s life has been “seriously terrible;” in addition to this, she tells the reader, “he has certain mental disorders known as emotional problems and is often called a fag.” Freddie has fallen through the cracks and suffers because of his low position in the family hierarchy and inability to stand up for himself. In one strip he nearly dies of a high fever because his oldest sister Maybonne dropped acid instead of nursing him.
As the book opens, our hero has been sent to spend the summer with his beer-swilling aunt, and tags along after his cousin Arnold. Not long after, Arnold’s pyromaniac friend sets fire to a house, killing a woman inside and pinning the blame on Freddie. After he is proven innocent and released from lock-up, Freddie experiences the effects of this trauma by seeing the faces of those around him as burning skulls.
This episode sets the tone of Freddie’s experiences in the pages that follow. Like in Cruddy, Barry’s masterpiece novel, The Freddie Stories draws readers into the dark heart of troubling childhood experiences. Freddie struggles with being a loser, suffers abuse at the hands of his classmates and, like all children, chafes against his complete inability to control his life. While Freddie is majorly damaged, Barry’s sharp writing also manages to make his childhood experiences universal and compelling. For instance, Freddie is haunted by Buddy, a dark spectre with narrow eyes who steals children with a sack. Freddie tells the reader “maybe you have seen him in your bedroom. He is imagination, obviously,” and yet the anguish he causes Freddie is very real.
After all of his bad times Freddie is granted solace at the end of the book, when he narrowly avoids being sent back to his aunt’s house for the summer. Instead he stays home, sneaking out of the house to explore while his mother is at work. After all his troubles, seeing Freddie happily waving at a bird and telling it to “Be free!” is welcome relief. Freddie’s brief liberation, of course, ultimately falls under a dark cloud. When he finds a sickly stray dog behind a dumpster and brings it home his angry mother refuses to let him keep it. As the dog walks away it comes to symbolize all that Freddie has lost over the course of the book. He watches it walk off and mournfully calls “Free dog, if I was older. Free dog, if life was different. Free dog, this book is for you, free dog, wherever you are.” Despite the heavy themes and harsh challenges that Freddie faces, Barry’s comic strips are always accessible and crackle with the manic energy of childhood. ■

Amplification of the MYCN gene and high telomerase activity predict a poor prognosis for the patients with neuroblastoma. We used PCR techniques for rapid detection of MYCN gene amplification and human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) expression in neuroblastoma specimens. The detection of MYCN gene amplification is based on differential PCR in which three primer pairs were used to coamplify a 178-bp fragment of target MYCN gene with two reference gene fragments, a 237-bp of p53 exon 7 and a 120-bp of β-globin exon 3, in a single tube of 40 surgically resected tumor samples. MYCN amplification was identified by this differential PCR in all 10 samples carrying more than 10 copies (already known to have MYCN gene amplification by Southern blot analysis). There were no false-negative or false-positive cases, and the relative intensity of MYCN bands in the differential PCR correlated significantly with the copy number determined by Southern blot analysis (γ = 0.99, P < 0.0001). This protocol was also applicable in the biopsy or aspirated samples, as well as the paraffin-embedded tissues, and in detecting intratumoral heterogeneity. Using RT-PCR procedures, hTERT mRNA expression was detectable in all 13 tumors with high telomerase activity. These nonradioisotopic PCR-based protocols for detecting MYCN gene amplification and hTERT mRNA expression are rapid and reliable and are likely to be useful to determine the biological behavior of neuroblastoma.

Being a pianist, I am fascinated in hearing how musicians whose primary instrument is not the
piano, touch the keys. While there are seemingly no limits to the variety of sounds which can
be achieved through the instrument, I’ve noticed that horn players, bassists, drummers and
vocalists inevitably approach the piano with an unaffected kind of fresh take, untethered by
constraints imposed by the ego of a self-claimed pianist.
With crystal clear articulation and a refreshingly welcoming economy of notes, Nicholas
achieves such a warm, infectiously optimistic mood from the piano without broadcasting any
sort of agenda to exhibit “pianism.” And this lack of a projected impulse to affect a virtuosic
front creates some of the most inviting piano I’ve heard in recent times.
The mutual respect within the band is abundantly apparent in every turn of phrase. Anyone
who’s truly listening can sense that Nicholas, Vicente and Bill love playing together. This is an
energetically engaged band. All three players are so versed in music that they share values
and an unspoken attitude of zero jiveness or “show biz” trickery in their collective approaches.
This music is fertile and potent with emotion, and all the while the wide-ranging sweep of
moods represented on these two discs is doing things to your ears and body, there is an
ongoing dialogue in every moment for the intellectual seeker to feast on.
Nicholas’ piano playing reveals an unhampered approach to telling a story and connecting with
the rhythm section organically rather than stacking upon them. This chemistry mirrors how
much easier it becomes for humans to connect in substantial ways when egos are set aside
with an intention to support and compliment one another. Nicholas’ piano playing speaks with
the clarity of honesty and a noticeably selfless, organic vibe that I must say I’ve never quite
heard or felt before.
There is a sonorous nature to the songs and intervals which cause a piece we’ve never previously heard to feel like a hip long-lost friend, like meeting someone and intuitively feeling so relaxed around them as though you’ve known them all your life.
~Benny Green, 2015

text: Reuniting with your ex shouldn’t be a hasty decision. After all, there was a reason why your relationship ended. That doesn’t preclude you from getting back together with your ex, though, and forging a stronger bond. Many split-up couples reunite after some time has passed. More than one-third of cohabitating couples and one-fifth of married couples have broken up and reconnected. If you and your ex decide to give your relationship another go, be aware that you’ll need to put in more work and try new things if you want it to succeed this time. Here are eight recommendations for maintaining a positive relationship after getting back together. Even though it can be painful and difficult, it’s crucial to be able to discuss the past when getting back together. The temptation is to ignore it, move on, and avoid bringing it up. When this occurs, old grudges often resurface in the relationship and fester. Talking about past hurt and engaging in these difficult conversations can promote closer relationships, enhance communication, and help you get through difficult situations. In relationships, especially ones that have recently ended, it’s critical to give both points of view a voice. This calls for you to let go of the idea that one person is correct while the other is mistaken. This will provide a safe environment for both partners to express their emotions in a healthy manner. Be sure to actively listen so you can comprehend your partner’s perspective and vice versa.

Sticky clay requires the addition of calcium (and magnesium to a lesser degree) to cause flocculation of clay particles and contribute to the crumb-like texture which is the hallmark of good soil with good drainage.
Compost, while a good (eventual) source of humus, is not a significant source of minerals. Quoting from: http://www.soilminerals.com/compost_manure_humus.htm
Let's look at another factor in using compost or organic matter as a mineral source: How much would we need to use to add significant amounts of needed minerals to the soil? This gets a little difficult to quantify, but going back to research done by Davidson and LeClerc in the 1930s, we find that the amount of Potassium found in ash from commercial vegetables was around 7%, the amount of Calcium averaged about 2% (they also measured 95%+ moisture content and 20% ash from dry matter, which leaves only 1% total ash, but let's be generous and stick with that 1 1/4 lbs we came up with above).
1 1/4 lbs= 566 grams
566 grams x 2%= 11.3 grams Calcium per 100 lbs compost
566 grams x 7%= 39.6 grams Potassium per 100 lbs compost
Even a sandy loam requires at least 2,000 lbs of Calcium per acre for best growth. What if we measured the minerals and found that we needed to add 1,000 lbs of Calcium? How much compost would that take, at 11 grams per 100 lbs? I'll spare you the arithmetic: It would take about 4,000,000 lbs: Four million pounds of that 75% moisture content compost per acre to add 1,000 lbs of Calcium. Wait, it gets worse: While we were adding that 1,000 lbs of Calcium we were also adding almost 4,000 lbs of Potassium, far too much. Well balanced soils need about 1/7th as much Potassium as Calcium, so this soil would call for about 280 lbs of Potassium per acre; we would be adding over 3,700 lbs too much, assuming that we were crazy enough to try adding four million pounds of compost anyway.
Putting that in terms a backyard gardener could relate to, one would need 90,000 lbs of compost per 1,000 square feet of garden just to bring the Calcium level up to par.
Concerning how to add organic matter to soil, I would favor grass clippings to anything else.
1) Its easy to find in large quantities, like leaves.
2) Grass is green, therefore having chlorophyll, which is a compound containing 4 nitrogens around a magnesium.
3) Grass has proteins which also contain nitrogen.
Dr. William Albrecht explained why nitrogen is important in organic matter: http://www.soilandhealth.org/01aglibrary/010120albrecht.usdayrbk/lsom.html
Thus when decay has proceeded to the point where the carbon-nitrogen ratio is significantly decreased, a residue of a more stable nature is produced. Thereafter the carbon-nitrogen ratio is narrower and remains more constant. This corresponds more nearly to the condition that holds in the case of the organic matter in virgin soils. Its further decay, which is slow because of the relatively low level of carbon, liberates nitrogen in place of storing or preserving it. Because of its high carbon content, the decomposition of fresh organic matter requires additional soluble nitrogen to be used as building material by the micro-organisms, which obtain it from the soil, often exhausting the supply to a degree that is damaging to a growing crop. The amount of increase in organic material corresponds, in the main, to the amount of nitrogen available. The extra carbon in the fresh material is lost from the soil. Thus when soils are given straws, fodders, and similar crop residues of low nitrogen content, only small increases in soil organic matter can result--in the main, only as large as the added nitrogen will permit. Many tons of common farm residues and wastes per acre are needed to produce a single additional ton of organic matter in the soil.
The restoration of soil organic matter, then, is a problem of increasing the nitrogen level or of using nitrogen as a means of holding the carbon and other materials. This is the basic principle behind the use of legumes as green manures. In building up the organic content of the soil itself, it will often be desirable to use legumes and grasses rather than to add organic matter, such as straw and compost, directly. If legumes and grasses are to be successfully grown on many of the soils of the humid regions of this country it will be necessary, first, to properly fertilize and lime the soil. Legumes use nitrogen from the air instead of the soil, and thus serve to increase the amount in the soil when their own remains are added to it. Commercial nitrogen used as treatment on straw for the production of artificial manure in compost piles, or when plowing under straw in the field after the combine, may be considered in the same category. Small amounts of added nitrogen may in this way make possible the use of large amounts of carbonaceous matter in restoring the soil.
So the remedy for hard clay would be lime and grass. You could apply the lime, then a thick layer of grass clippings, then apply your bagged soil over the grass clippings to trap the nitrogen in the grass from escaping as ammonia into the atmosphere, then apply more lime (unless bagged soil is already high in calcium) and nitrogen fertilizer. The result would be fairly healthy soil, with no digging. This is how I renovated my lawn. For the garden, I alternate layers of grass and soil.
I would cite more references, but for reasons I can't imagine, I am not allowed.

Waka Flocka has no qualms about letting the world know his thoughts on today’s rappers. Most recently, the Atlanta native is sharing his thoughts in his music. Alongside DJ Whoo Kid, Flocka just dropped a remix over Lil’ Pump’s popular Gucci Gang track. Clearly, he’s being a little petty as he accused the young Florida rapper of biting off his sound.
The remix will be one of the featured tracks on Whoo Kid and Flocka’s upcoming mixtape titled I Can’t Rap: Vol 2. Truthfully, he starts off hard with this one, but we don’t really understand where he’s coming from when he says Pump stole his flow or style. If he’s going to accuse the “Gucci Gang” rapper of stealing his flow, we can most definitely name a few other rappers he can call out.
The Atlanta rapper also recently called out Lil’ Xan saying he should be banned from Hip Hop after calling Tupac’s music boring in a recent interview. We don’t like to always hate on these up and coming new generation of rappers but we’ve gotta say we agree with Flocka on that one and can appreciate him speaking out! Tupac is a legend and love or hate his music, it’s far from boring!! We have no doubt Flocka will be calling out a few rappers on the upcoming mixtape!
Listen to the remix below and let us know what you think. Is it HOT or NOT?!

This is not, thank goodness, a straightforward guide to America's National Parks that announces, "Here you are in Yosemite ... ." Instead it immerses you in the sights, sounds, and smells of these cherished lands. You only notice as an afterthought, in small letters on the corners of pages, the name of the National Park into which you've been drawn.
This allows you to plunge fully into each park as a child would if guided by a wise adult who let the park speak for itself. Great Sand Dunes brings you:
"to the wildflowers
"to the pronghorn
chewing the grass
of her first spring."
Shenandoah National Park invites you into the burrow of the chipmunk "sleeping beneath the leaves to keep warm," and Great Smoky Mountains National Park reveals "constellations of blinking fireflies."
These revelations of beauty throw open wide arms of cultural inclusion. Big Bend National Park — on the southern border of Texas — shows its awesome cliffs and river "to the child whose family has just left its first footprints on new shores." Ancient art on the cliffs of Mesa Verde National Park brings wonder "to the child whose ancestors lived on these lands before the stars and stripes took them as their own."
Evan Turk, an Ezra Jack Keats Book Award-winning author and illustrator, created the drawings with pastel on black paper that he always carries with him when hiking and exploring the parks. His soaring redwoods draw not only your eyes but your soul upwards; his sun-illumined Yosemite Falls is part of a four-page, unfolding spread that's a mystical experience.
Just as Turk took special pains to include some less famous National Parks like Biscayne (Florida) and Haleakala (Hawaii), so he makes sure to speak of the parks not only as cherished American monuments of nature preserved for public use but also as sacred places to Native Americans, from which they were "forcibly and violently removed" by the U.S. government. "I wanted this book to speak not just to those who already love the parks, but to anyone who has felt that 'for all' didn't include them."
As he weaves this tapestry of inclusion, Turk continually returns to the title refrain: "You are home." Home in a sense of belonging; home in the memories "carried through wind and rain, echoing in canyons carved way down deep in the heart of the earth and in our hearts alike."
Near the end he observes that:
"what keeps a home standing
can never be broken ..."
This is our wish for his book: that it will keep things from being broken by calling to hearts young and old to preserve the beauty he illustrates — and likewise to cherish the idea of a country that can "grow to become better than its beginnings."

Officers with the Jennings County Sheriff’s Department arrested three people on drug charges in two separate instances Thursday.
Two of the arrests occurred when county officers and federal parole agents searched a home on Private Road 675N, according to a news release from Chief Deputy David Turner with the sheriff’s department.
The homeowner, George Nichols, 65, of Butlerville was arrested after a large amount of methamphetamine and cash were located on the property, police said.
Nichols, who is on parole, was arrested on charges of possession of methamphetamine and possession of paraphernalia. Judy Nichols, 58, also was arrested on the same charges, and both were booked into the Jennings County Jail in North Vernon at 12:27 p.m. Thursday. They were both being held on $6,255 bonds.

At 2 p.m. Thursday, police served an arrest warrant on Shey Richardson, 38, of Harrison, Ohio, for five counts of dealing a narcotic drug and five counts of possession of a narcotic drug. At the time of her arrest, Richardson was being held at the jail without bond on dealing and possession charges stemming from separate incidents.
Sheriff Kenny Freeman said he wants the people of Jennings County to know county officers will continue to combat the drug epidemic, Turner said.

3 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup caster sugar
750g cream cheese, softened
3 teaspoons grated lemon rind
1/4 cup lemon juice

Beat eggs and sugar in a bowl with an electric mixture until thick and pale (about 10 minutes). The more you beat them, the lighter the cheesecake will be.
Add cream cheese, lemon rind and juice to eggs and beat until smooth and creamy (about 5 minutes).
Pour mixture into prepared based and bake for about 45 minutes.
Allow to cool in oven with door open, then refrigerate for several hours, or overnight if possible.

Anglo-Australian mining company BHP Billiton is facing a multibillion-pound lawsuit over the failure of the Samarco dam in Brazil in November 2015.
The claim, which is one of the largest in British legal history, is being brought for damages on behalf of 240,000 individuals who were victims of the disaster.
The latest class action is being handled by UK-based SPG Law under Brazilian law and was filed in the High Court in Liverpool.
SPG Law partner, Glenn Phillips, said: “BHP Billiton PLC are liable for the massive damage caused by the Bento Rodrigues dam disaster because Brazil’s laws provide both for strict liability for environmental torts and for parent companies to be liable for the acts and omissions of their subsidiaries”.
Tom Goodhead, another partner at SPG Law, said: “Three years on from the tragedy, nearly a million Brazilian citizens affected by the disaster have either not been compensated at all or have received low financial settlements. In essence they have been ignored and forgotten. The process of compensation has so far been in the hands of the Defendants. This is about putting the Claimants in control.”
SPG Law is representing 24 Brazilian municipal governments, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Mariana and members of the Krenak indigenous community.
The collapse of the Samarco dam unleashed a wave of wastewater that destroyed two towns, displaced 700 people and killed 19 in the Minas Gerais province.
A deadly sediment of red mud, water and debris flowed downstream into the Doce River, where it devastated wildlife and polluted drinking water for hundreds of thousands of people. It has been called the worst environmental disaster in Brazil’s history.
In August BHP Billiton agreed to pay out $50m (£39m) to compensate shareholders in the US who lost out when its stock fell following the accident.
It agreed to the payout to settle a class action with investors who bought so-called depositary receipts – certificates granting them right to own shares – between Sept 25 and Nov 30 2015, “with no admission of liability”.
BHP has also paid out millions to bankroll compensation and remediation programmes.
Separately, on Monday the company announced that it was forced to derail a runaway train that traveled almost 60 miles without a driver across the Pilbara, a major iron ore producing area in Western Australia.
BHP halted all train operations in the region, where it produces and ships iron ore, a key steelmaking ingredient.
It said a driver was inspecting an issue with the train when the locomotive ran away.
The loaded train, which consisted of four locomotives and 268 wagons, then traveled 92 kilometers toward Port Hedland before being deliberately derailed from BHP’s remote operations center in Perth.

Schemes Of Subvertion
No Face Records
11/27/2003 - Review by: Eric Compton
Pretty average Swedish death metalEvanesce - Schemet Of Subvertion 2003 No Face Records - Reviewed by EC
One thinks of the early sounds of Callenish Circle and Novembers Doom with opening track "Final Amnesia ". Evanesce likes to throw some downtuned playing in with their brand of melodic death metal to add a bit of a doomy dimension to the take. "Near Life Experience" rushes the line with an overdose of Gothenburg styled death metal with plenty of twin guitar and cookie monster growls. "Reclaimed Land" is almost Floridian death metal, with some extremely raw vocals ala Glen Benton (Deicide) in his youth.
This type of thing has really been done to death, no pun intended. I really wish we could hear something new and fresh from these acts, but thus far they seem really pleased just playing what has lately become very stale, standard death metal. Not really my thing, but others may eat this up.

In addition to the acute vaccine shortage faced by most parts of the country, another hurdle in the country’s Covid-19 vaccination programme is the difficulty in expanding vaccination in the hinterlands of the country where a large population does not have the means to register on the government’s CoWin online platform. Responding to the Supreme Court’s query on the same, the central government said that the residents of rural and semi-urban areas who do not have smartphone or internet could make use of the Common Service Centres (CSC) to register for their vaccine slot.
However, as per an Indian Express article, most CSCs remain dysfunctional and the share of vaccine slots registered from CSC remains negligible. Out of over 3 lakh existing Common Service Centres in the country only 54,460 were active on May 11 depriving a large number of people in rural areas of the wherewithal to register for their vaccine slot. The number of vaccine slots registered by these 54k odd CSCs is also negligible at 1.7 lakh out of over 17 crore individuals who have at least got one dose of the vaccine in the country.
The states with large rural population including Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh have also not reported many vaccine slot registrations from the CSCs. The total share of vaccine slots registered from the CSCs in these states was less than a fraction of 1 percent in all these states.
CEO of the National Health Authority, which is in-charge of the vaccine CoWin platform R S Sharma told the Indian Express that CSCs are of extreme significance in the Covid-19 vaccination drive. Officials also told the Indian Express that the reasons behind closure of a large number of CSCs was the lockdown-like restrictions imposed by several state governments. Officials also said that the CSCs had also got the mandate to register on the CoWin platform only three weeks back when restrictions had already been imposed.
Dinesh Kumar Tyagi who is the Managing Director of CSCs told the Indian Express that the CoWin platform has been integrated with the CSCs fairly recently and people who did not have a smartphone can come and register at CSCs. Officials also said that rumours surrounding the side-effects of vaccines, pricing and vaccine hesitancy among the rural folks was also one of the reasons behind less registrations.

“…his reading was capital, and her pleasure in good reading extreme.”
Mansfield Park ch. 34
Jane Austen well understood the power of reading aloud. Reading aloud was a favorite activity in her family. This year Medaille College is offering an exciting reading experience with an Austen connection.
The Write Thing Reading Series begins on Tuesday, September 15 featuring Bella Poynton. Her science fiction play Speed Of Light can be seen in Buffalo at Road Less Traveled Theater from September 11-October 4. Readings from the play will be presented by the author and several actors.
Jane Austen fans will especially appreciate the next two events in the series. Jack Wang, the co-creator of the Cozy Classics series of children’s board book series, headlines a reading on October 15. The Cozy Classics series includes Pride and Prejudice and Emma in its list of titles. Local JASNA members will remember that Jack spoke to our group about the production of Cozy Classics and won our hearts with the little felt figures.
( http://www.mycozyclassics.com/books/ )
Next up is Amanda Jacobs on Thursday November 19. Amanda has always been a local favorite and now she is a national favorite with her work on Pride and Prejudice, A Musical. She has been a JASNA International visiting scholar. Last year she spoke to us about that project which was all about composing music for Jane Austen related prayers. The musical interludes left us wishing for more.
( http://janeaustensprideandprejudiceamusical.com/ )
The reading program continues in the spring semester with the author Ted Pelton on Thursday February 25 and the poet Christopher Deweese on April 7. Finally, the program wraps up on April 28 with an open mic event. So sharpen your pencils and prepare to step up to the mic and read.
The Write Thing Reading Series promises to be a lively and engaging program. It’s free and open to the public. Events are on the 4th floor of the main building at Medaille College. Light refreshments will be served.
For more information and directions see the event website at :
This should definitely take some of the chill off the winter.

There are some restrictions. Bets placed on Baccarat, Craps, Pai Gow Poker, Pontoon 21, Roulette, Sic Bo and War are not allowed. Any winnings from these games while bonus money is available will be voided, and it is best to play it safe and avoid these games altogether.

|Presentation Time: 3:50 PM-4:10 PM|
TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF HOLLY BEACH, LA DURING HURRICANE RITA: WHY LOUISIANA'S CHENIER-PLAIN COMMUNITIES ARE AMONG THE MOST VULNERABLE
SALLENGER, Asbury1, STOCKDON, Hilary1, and WRIGHT, C. Wayne2, (1) U.S. Geological Survey, 600 4th St. South, St. Petersburg, FL 33701, email@example.com, (2) NASA, Wallops Flight Facility, Goddard Space Flight Center, Wallops Island, VA 23337|
Hurricane Rita made landfall as a category 3 storm near the Louisiana-Texas border on September 24, 2005. The Gulf-front towns of Holly Beach and Cameron, Louisiana were located within the hurricane's right-front quadrant and suffered near total destruction. In a cooperative program between the U.S. Geological Survey, NASA, University of New Orleans, Louisiana State University and Louisiana Department of Natural Resources, aerial photography and airborne topographic lidar were acquired of the coastal towns and adjacent beach systems of the Chenier Plain, both before and after landfall. These data show erosion and accretion along the coast as well as the near total removal of structures within the impacted communities. The shallow offshore shelf seaward of the Chenier Plain in western Louisiana is conducive to large storm surges along the coast, the surge during Rita reaching approximately 5 m. Beach systems along the Chenier plain are low relief, their peak elevations generally rising no higher than ~ 2 m above mean high water. As a consequence, during Rita, the entire beach system was not overwashed in the classic sense of waves periodically overtopping a berm or dune, but was continuously submerged, as characterized by the ‘inundation regime' of Sallenger (2000). In Holly Beach, preliminary analyses of lidar data show that the shoreline retreated on average ~ 18 m, and the beaches lost significant quantities of sand, lowering beach elevations in places >1 m. The low relief of beach systems, coupled with the potential for high storm surges, makes the Chenier Plain of Louisiana one of the United States' most vulnerable coasts to extreme storms.

Hello Total Film readers!
I'm Edgar Wright and to celebrate the release of my new opus The World's End , I'm Guest Editing the Total Film website for one day only.

So sit back, grab a cuppa (and some Jaffas), and enjoy this very special Total Film Takeover.
For a few snaps of Edgar in the office, just peruse below...
