As reported by Sportskeeda, the superstar responded to a poll on WWE’s Twitter page asking fans which wrestler they think is most underrated. Several social media users mentioned Cesaro in the comments section, which prompted the Friday Night SmackDown superstar to ask, “Did you get the answer you were looking for?”
The social media poll might have been used as a way to see which wrestlers the people want to see more of. If that’s the case, perhaps Cesaro will be given some long-overdue attention moving forward. The promotion often claims to listen to the Universe, after all.
Cesaro’s comment suggests that he agrees with the fans who believe that he’s underappreciated as a talent, but WWE officials may have a different view of the former United States Champion, as he’s reportedly too impressive for his own good.
Cesaro’s post comes in the wake of recent conversations about him being underutilized. As reported by The Inquisitr, Arn Anderson — who was a backstage producer for years — said that Cesaro upset officials by being too impressive in the ring as a heel. Cesaro’s moves are “too flashy” for the front office, according to the Hall of the Famer.
— WWE (@WWE) August 31, 2019
Cesaro is widely regarded as one of the most talented performers in WWE, but he’s never been given a big break. During Vince McMahon’s famous interview on “Stone Cold” Steve Austin’s podcast in 2014, the chairman said that Cesaro lacked the charisma to be a main eventer.
That interview appeared to have confirmed the fate of “The Swiss Superman” in the company. Even though he did receive some strong support from the fans afterward, he was never pushed beyond the midcard and tag team divisions. When McMahon has made his mind up, it takes a lot to change it.
Cesaro has tasted some championship success since joining the roster in 2011, especially in the tag team division. The Bar — which saw him join forces with Sheamus — is one of the most successful duos in recent memory. Cesaro does feature on television on a weekly basis, but it’s clear from the latest survey that his supporters want to see the performer reach even greater heights.
Cesaro began teaming with Shinsuke Nakamura in 2020, but the duo has yet to capture championship gold together.

Battery 103 (1944-1948) - Battery 103 was a reinforced concrete, World War II 16 inch coastal gun battery located on Fort Dearborn (4), Rockingham County, New Hampshire. Renamed Battery Seaman. Battery construction started 8 Apr 1942, was completed 15 Aug 1943 and transferred to the Coast Artillery for use 8 Sep 1944 at a cost of $ 1,473,506.00. Deactivated in 1948.
Part of the Harbor Defense of Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
Originally built as a World War II concrete coastal gun battery with two 16" MarkII-M1 guns mounted on M5 Casemated Barbette Carriages (CBC). This battery was a single level battery with the guns located on the same level as the central magazine. Each gun emplacement was casemated with heavy, reinforced concrete overhead protection and earth covering. The central magazine was built between and connected the gun emplacements so that the powder and shells could be brought directly to the guns using overhead tracks and chain hoists. See 16" Rifle MarkII-M1.
A completely separate Plotting and Fire Control Switchboard Room (PSR) is located nearby.
Part of Odiorne Point State Park, Rockingham County, New Hampshire. No period guns or mounts in place.

Blue lights. Sirens. Guns. Knives. Handcuffs. High speed pursuits. Foot chases. Barking and snarling dogs.
Think those are the only calls cops respond to during their shifts? Well, it’s not all action. For example, this happened…
1. Officers arrested Ms. Dusty Rae Ingram and then delivered her to the county jail for safekeeping. During the booking process jail officials discovered a bag of prescription pills tucked away inside Ms. Ingram’s…uh…private parts. When questioned, the absent-minded Dusty told the officers she usually kept those pills in her purse and she had no idea how they found their way to her genitals.
2. Police were dispatched to investigate a suspicious man who was possibly not wearing pants while crawling along a city sidewalk. When officers arrived they found the man hiding beneath a van. He was indeed naked from the waist down.
3. Police in Florida stopped a young man for a traffic infraction. During the stop the driver attempted to hide what officers described as a “Batman bag.” Officers asked the man to retrieve the bag from beneath the seat and he told them he couldn’t show it to them because it contained something “bad.” He was right. The bag contained Xanax pills and a scale commonly used for weighing narcotics. To add to his troubles, the driver had apparently spilled marijuana on himself because small bits of pot leaves were discovered clinging to his shirt.
4. Police at a Greenacres substation noticed a strange vehicle parked in the lot and went out to investigate. They discovered a man asleep behind the wheel with the motor running. The roused him and asked why he was there. The man told them he was drunk and tired. Officers kindly provided a better place for the driver to “sleep it off.”
5. Police officers were called to a bar to break up a fight between intoxicated patrons. One of the tough and rowdy fighters spit on the responding officers who then promptly arrested him. The brawler then began to bawl like a baby. During his uncontrollable crying spree he told officers he couldn’t go to jail because he’d just gotten out.
Other reports include:
– Two men knocking on doors asking people, in English, if they spoke French.
– A couple fighting because their dog died.
– A woman dialed 911 because her taxi driver was yelling at her.
– A woman called 911 because prices at her local produce stand were too high.
– Officers were called to assist a parent who couldn’t get their child to go to bed.
– A woman called 911 to report a fire in her living room. Officers responded and explained that the flame she saw inside her kerosene heater was necessary to heat the home.
– A caller advised police that a dog had defecated in her yard even after she’d asked it nicely to not do it.
– A man called 911 to report suspicious items in his mailbox. Officers responded and discovered the items to be…mail.
– A man reported seeing a male subject exposing himself repeatedly to a woman seated in a parked car in the lot of a convenience store. After a brief investigation officers learned the woman was the store manager and the male subject, who was wearing only an overcoat, was her husband.
– People yelling in a field were found to playing a game that required participants to yell.
– A caller reported seeing footprints on his front porch for several days in a row. Police discovered the prints were left by the mailman.
– A 911 caller reported seeing a strange rock in his driveway.
– A woman called police to report seeing an open door at a residence in her neighborhood. Police responded and closed the door.
– Police were called because animal control would not respond to a sighting of an unruly groundhog.
– A concerned citizen called police to report possible terrorist activity at their neighbor’s home. The caller told the dispatcher a male subject was using a device to spray some sort of deadly toxin. Police arrived and spoke to the exterminator who’d been hired to rid the property of unwanted ants. His truck with a giant rubber bug on the rooftop was parked in the driveway. If only there’d been a clue…

Why take a supplement? There are at least thirteen vitamins and seventeen minerals and trace elements which we need daily in order for our bodies to function properly and to keep illness away. For example, we need zinc and vitamin A for our immune systems to work, iron to make blood, calcium and magnesium to keep our bones and muscles (including our hearts) healthy, vitamin C and vitamin E to protect our hearts, and so on. If we do not get enough vitamins and minerals, we are inviting illness in. The modern American diet is low in the vitamins and minerals we need. That is why it is often said that people can be obese, yet starving – they are starved of nutrients.
Why take a supplement? Even when we eat foods which should be high in vitamins and minerals, often they are not, because modern farming methods have reduced levels in our soil. An orange you buy in the supermarket today, for example, can actually contain no vitamin C, while magnesium levels in carrots have dropped by around 75 percent since 1940. Doing the Hot Spot Plan will help you get the nutrients you need. However, if you have been depleted for many years or you cannot always eat enough of the best-quality produce, then you may need extra help. This is why millions of Americans take supplements.
Why take a supplement? But supplements have been described as ‘expensive urine‘, meaning that we simply excrete them without absorbing any of the nutrients. It seems unlikely that a handful of pills can provide the same nutrients as a tree dripping with ripe fruit, a fresh head of broccoli, or a salmon leaping from a river. Can supplements be of any use to us? Can they help us live the BluePrint for Life?
Studies of vitamin and mineral supplements are mixed. Many seem to show that supplements have no effect. One large study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2007 suggested that taking antioxidant supplements might actually increase mortality risk. Other studies suggest that supplements can be of help, or even save lives. For example, the New England Journal of Medicine reported in 1993 that the Nurse's Health Study, which looked at over 87,000 women, showed that vitamin E when taken in the long term is associated with lower risk of heart disease in middle-aged women.
Do supplements work? There are plenty of anecdotal reports from people who say that supplements help them. People who have low thyroid function, for example, report that taking vitamins and minerals gives them the boost they need where diet may not be enough to get vitamins and minerals in the large quantities required. It can be hard to measure the effect of taking supplements, since subjects taking them will not be eating exactly the same diet as each other. This is a problem with studies. Eating a poor diet and taking a supplement is different from eating a good diet and taking a supplement. Supplements also differ drastically in quality which may affect the results of studies.
Synthetic vs. natural supplements Vitamins and minerals come from plants, rocks, soil, water, animals. In order to be produced in the huge quantities required by all the millions of supplement-takers there are, vitamins are usually either synthesized or cultured in a laboratory rather than being gathered from natural sources.
Synthetic vs. natural supplements In most cases, there is no difference between a synthetic and a natural vitamin. There are two exceptions to this. – One is vitamin E, which exists as d-tocopherol in nature and l-tocopherol when synthetic. – The other is folate, which becomes folic acid when produced in the laboratory. Both of these are more compatible with our body chemistry in their natural form; the synthetic versions are inferior. Folic acid behaves slightly differently in cells from folate, and there is some evidence to suggest that, unlike folate, it may increase the risk of cancer when used in very high doses, although this is not known for sure. Good-quality supplements are more likely to contain these in their natural forms (i.e., as d-tocopherol and as folate).
With most supplement brands, the vitamins and minerals exist on their own instead of being part of an animal or plant or rock. This is not a natural way for them to exist. In nature, vitamins and minerals come as part of a package. And when something is not natural, it is usually not suited to how our bodies work. It is now known that the body will absorb nutrients much better when they come as part of the food or nutrients they are packaged with in nature. For example, when vitamin C is bound with bioflavonoids, as it is in a plant, the bioavailability of the vitamin C is increased by 30 percent. This means that if we eat vitamin C as part of an apple it will be much more potent than if we take it alone as a supplement.
Part of a package Studies also show that the antioxidant and anti-cancer effects of individual nutrients are at their most effective when other phytochemicals (plant chemicals) are present. Another problem with taking vitamins and minerals in isolation is that their antioxidant action can start to work against us. Antioxidants need to work with a wide range of other antioxidants, otherwise they can become damaging free radicals themselves. This may explain why some studies suggest that high-dose antioxidant supplements may not be good for health. Minerals and trace elements (such as iron, calcium and zinc) used in supplements are harvested from rocks. However, the minerals found in rocks cannot be absorbed by the body. Supplements manufacturers partly get around this by combining them with other substances. However, minerals are best absorbed when we ingest them as part of plant or animal food.
Bad quality supplements Cheaper brands of supplements are likely to use artificial colors, additives and fillers, as well as salts such as palmitate. These substances are not food and may cause allergic reactions or undermine health if they are not properly metabolized in the body.
Some supplement companies are starting to produce 'food-based' supplements. These may provide calcium from sea algae, beta- carotene from carrot concentrate, B vitamins from yeast, and so on. The supplements will also contain some forms of actual food. These types of supplements should be more effective and beneficial to us than non food-based supplements. If you want to use a vitamin and mineral supplement, look for a food-based supplement, always read the label carefully, and if in doubt call the manufacturer.
Supplements are supplementary Remember that supplements are there to supplement your diet, not replace it. Try to eat the healthy BluePrint for Life way, and use supplements as something extra. You may need supplements more at certain times; for example, during cold spells when you are more prone to getting ill, during pregnancy, or during times of stress.
Cautions Be aware that some vitamins and minerals can actually cause harm if they are taken incorrectly. For example, vitamin A is stored in the liver and can build up to toxic levels, while calcium can cause stiffening of the arteries. It is always a good idea to consult a reputable nutrition practitioner about any supplements you feel you may need. Taking high doses in the long term may not be best.

Essentials ingredients Fermented minerals: calcium, chromium, iodine, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, zinc, boron, potassium, vanadium Resveratrol: Organic grape, red wine extract, and trans-resveratrol. Resveratrol is the substance in red grape skins thought to protect against chronic disease and slow aging.
Other info about Essentials Taking Essentials: Essentials can be mixed with your morning smoothie, with juice, milk, alternative milks (such as almond milk), or water. It can be taken on an empty stomach, with meals, or as a snack when you need some extra sustained energy, as it supports healthy blood sugar levels. It is a gluten-free product, other than a very small amount of gluten in the oat beta-glucans it contains. It is a whole food and safe to take with any medication. Many of the whole-food and herbal ingredients chosen for inclusion in Essentials have been shown in multiple published studies to help reverse the signs and symptoms of diabetes and heart disease. Still, you are encouraged to seek the advice of your physician regarding any chronic illness or condition.
Other info about Essentials Essentials is a powdered blend of organic vegetables, fruits, superfoods and other nutrient-dense whole foods, many of which are the same foods as those found in the Longevity Hot Spots. Essentials provides a wide range of concentrated nutrients as part of nutrient-rich foods and super-foods. These work synergistically for maximum effect. The power of synergy means that when nutrients work together they are more powerful than when they exist alone. Foods contain thousands of phytochemicals (plant chemicals) which are found in Akea Essentials. This means that the vitamins and minerals should be well-absorbed and more effective than when they are isolated in supplements.
Other info about Essentials To make them even more bioavailable in the body, they have been fermented using beneficial flora which is also present in the powder. Essentials contains a wide range of the vitamins and minerals found in food, some in levels comparable to the Daily Values found in supplements. For example, two scoops provides 40% of the Daily Value for zinc and 54% of the Daily Value for selenium. Essentials is designed to complement a healthy BluePrint for Life way of eating.

Celebrities continue to be moved by the heartbreak currently happening in Australia.
And as you might imagine, the ongoing wildfires are hitting very close to home for native Chris Hemsworth and his family.
The actor and his brother Liam Hemsworth are both from Melbourne, where the Marvel star actually still resides there with his wife Elsa Pataky and children.
In a huge move, the 36-year-old took to his Instagram on Monday to share that he is donating $1 million toward the cause. He explained:
“Hey there guys. As you’re well aware, the brush fires in Australia have caused massive devastation, they continue to burn. There’s warmer weather on its way [and] we’re still in the thick of it here. There is plenty of challenging times ahead… and what we need is your support and your donations.”
The father of three added before ending his clip:
“I’m going to put forward a million dollars and was hoping that all of you can contribute in any shape or form. That money goes directly to the firefighters, the people on the front lines, the people who have suffered, the communities that have taken a hit and who are in desperate need of our support.”
Give the vid a watch for yourself (below):
View this post on Instagram
Hi everyone. Like you, I want to support the fight against the bushfires here in Australia. My family and I are contributing a million dollars. Hopefully you guys can chip in too. Every penny counts so whatever you can muster up is greatly appreciated. In my bio I’ve added links to support the fire fighters, organisations and charities who are working flat out to provide support and relief during this devastating and challenging time. Beyond appreciative to everyone around the world for their well wishes and donations. It really does make a difference, so dig deep! Love ya.
How could you not listen to those baby blues?!
Hemsworth joins the ranks of fellow stars and celebs who have pledged a significant amount of cash toward wildfire relief.
Fellow Aussie Nicole Kidman and husband Keith Urban donated $500,000 to rural fire services. Per Us Weekly reports, the Big Little Lies star was visibly upset at a pre-Golden Globes party after learning her country home was under threat. On Insta, she wrote:
“Our family’s support, thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by the fires all over Australia.”
While sharing a list of ways to give back, Pink announced she had pledged $500,000 as well:
“I am totally devastated watching what is happening in Australia right now with the horrific bushfires. I am pledging a donation of $500,000 directly to the local fire services that are battling so hard on the frontlines. My heart goes out to our friends and family in Oz ❤”
Selena Gomez, Hilary Duff, Ellen DeGeneres, Lizzo, and Kim Kardashian West are among the additional A-listers who have donated to the cause. However, not disclosing the amount of money being given by these celebs has upset some fans.
On Twitter, the KKW Beauty founder responded to a critic who called out her famous family for seemingly speaking out without taking action. In a now-deleted tweet, the Twitic wrote:
“nothing gets me more heated than to see the Kardashians/Jenners talk about climate change/wildfires & not donate even a penny. @KimKardashian @khloekardashian @KylieJenner @KendallJenner @kourtneykardash”
We think we know everything about the KarJenners, but that’s not the case. The momma of four quickly hit back:
“nothing gets me more heated than to see people think they know what we donated to and to think we have to publicize everything”
Should celebs be disclosing how much they’re donating? Or is it the thought that counts? Sound OFF (below) in the comments with your take.

Surprising fourth album - better than most people think,
This review is from: 99.9 F° (Audio CD)
This album has had a bad press, which is unfair, if unsurprising.
If you enjoyed Suzanne Vega, Solitude Standing and Days of Open Hand, this heavily industrial album is going to be a big surprise. Given that up to this point guitar has dominated and the sound has been esoteric and more folk than rock, the banging band sound may hit you like a rock out of someone's pocket.
If you leave behind everything you know or expect about Suzanne Vega, though, this is really quite a good album. It brings the questioning, left-field, wistful lyrics into a new space.
Traditional Suzanne Vega fans will enjoy 'In Liverpool' and 'Song of the sand', and may want to avoid the rest. Don't. Give this album time. It will repay you in the end.

La Grange Highlands School goes Hollywood for Muscular Dystrophy Association
By Diane Dachota
Jan 28, 2019 at 6:00 AM
Costumes were on and lights and music ready for the full dress rehearsal Friday of the LaGrange Highlands School 27th annual variety show, performed the following night in the school gym.
“The show is a way for the children ages kindergarten through fifth grade to show off their talent, and a way for us as a community to give back to charity,” said Beata McCann, co-chair of the event.
“We start the process in September so we can be ready for our January show. The Highland families nominate charities and the kids made video commercials for their favorite ones. The teachers show the commercials in their classrooms and the students vote for their favorite,” she said.
This year the Muscular Dystrophy Association was chosen as featured charity and will received 100 percent of donations, McCann said..
“Parents can buy ads in our program book, we collect direct online donations, and we also sell flowers, food and drinks at the variety show as well as pass a bucket for collections,” she said.
The school also conducts a coin drive that usually brings in about $1,000, said co-chair Jennifer Hallett, who said typically between $5,000 and $7,000 are raised.
As students filed in wearing costumes including traditional tap and jazz wear, hip hop apparel and beach-themed clothes, McCann said the program is a whole school effort.
“We have middle school students who are in charge of the lights and music and we have parents who help put the acts together. We also have parents who are electrical contractors and help us set up the lighting,” she said.
Although they do hold auditions for acts, McCann said they are just looking for anything inappropriate. Anyone who wants to be in the show can be in it.
She sid the school is proud to feature several special-needs students in the performances.

Foreign Minister Najla Al-Manqoush on Wednesday laid the foundation stone for the building of the Libyan embassy in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, which, in addition to the embassy, will also house the headquarters of the permanent Libyan mission to the African Union.
The Minister delivered a speech on this occasion, stressing the importance for the Libyan embassy and the permanent Libyan mission to function from Addis Ababa, which hosts the AU headquarters and other regional offices and centres.
Al-Manqoush commended the efforts of the AU to achieve unity among African nations, accelerate political, economic, and social integration among the countries of the continent, and strengthen solidarity relations between its people.
She also expressed her gratitude for the efforts of the Libyan embassy staff to enhance cooperation relations between the Libyan state and the Republic of Ethiopia and the services they provide to the citizens, according to a statement by the Foreign Ministry’s media office.

The infotainment system in your car isn’t a one-size-fits-all arrangement. There are numerous types of screens and setups in modern cars, and extra-wide displays have become fairly common. Thanks to recent updates, some Hyundai vehicles with widescreen layouts are getting better Android Auto support.
As first highlighted on Reddit, recent software updates made available by Hyundai have quietly unlocked the ability to use Android Auto in its widescreen form.
The example in question is in a 2021 Elantra, which has a wide screen along the top of the console. The Redditor’s vehicle was eligible for a new software update which unlocked the full 10.5-inch display to Android Auto, where before Google’s experience only took up around two-thirds of the display. In this case, the Redditor says that he’s using Android Auto in its wired form and had to ensure that the “enable split screen” developer option was enabled to get this wider design. He also mentioned that his wireless Android Auto adapter, AAWireless, didn’t work following the update until “passthrough” mode was enabled.
Google first added widescreen support to Android Auto in early 2021, with some Mazda, BMW, and Skoda vehicles immediately taking advantage of the wide canvas. For whatever reason, though, some Hyundai vehicles with wider displays couldn’t do the same thing. In its widescreen mode, Android Auto can show widgets for music as well as for Maps along the side of the display, while showing other apps on the main section. Navigation is also shifted to be vertical along the driver’s side of the car.
AutoEvolution claims that Hyundai owners aren’t alone in this new widescreen Android Auto update. Apparently, some Kia vehicles are also gaining support for wider aspect ratios for Android Auto as a result of updates to the car’s platform. However, and important to note, couldn’t find any information backing up that claim, though, so take that with a grain of salt. The latest update beyond a simple navigation map update rolled out last November, months before Hyundai added this support. Kia does share a similar infotainment system, though, so this wouldn’t be particularly surprising.
There’s no official list available, sadly, of what cars have been updated. However, it’s probably a safe bet that other 2021+ Hyundai vehicles with these wider displays are eligible for an update. If you’re a Hyundai owner, you can check for updates on the carmaker’s website, complete with instructions on how to perform the update. Kia has a nearly identical portal with the same update details.

Ryley, Malcolm. (2009) Reducing the impact of pulse diseases in the northern region. Project Report. Grains Research & Development Corporation.
PDF (Reducing the impact of pulse diseases in the northern region)
Diseases remain a significant impediment to the achievement of maximum yield potential of pulses (chickpea, peanut and mungbean) and sunflowers in the GRDC northern region. This project worked closely with public and private breeding programs to identify sources of resistance to the major diseases of pulses and sunflower that dominate in the region. Through varied surveillance activities, a watching brief on pulse and sunflower diseases was maintained and a timely and appropriate response was made to several significant disease outbreaks.

How Ron DeSantis is 'trying to out-Trump Trump' on climate: report
Scientists have been warning that as climate change accelerates, Florida will be hit especially hard — from hurricanes and floods to rising sea levels. Increasing insurance rates are a symptom of Florida's climate woes; WUSF-FM (a National Public Radio affiliate in Tampa) reported that Florida homeowners can expect their property insurance rates to increase by 40 percent in 2023 even though they are already paying almost three times the national average.
But Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is seeking the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, is as much of a climate change denier as his main competitor in the primary: former President Donald Trump.
Oliver Milman, in a report published by The Guardian on May 28, notes that DeSantis has dismissed climate science as "the politicization of the weather" and "left-wing stuff"; denies that climate change had anything to do with Hurricane Ian's severity, and is a strident promoter of fossil fuels. DeSantis often mocks green energy as "woke."
Pete Maysmith, the League of Conservation Voters' senior vice-president of campaigns, told The Guardian, "The cost of taking his anti-climate record to the national stage as president would be catastrophic. DeSantis has already made clear he would unleash his war on climate science, clean energy jobs, and strong pollution safeguards against clean air and clean water."
But not all conservatives are climate change deniers. Former Rep. Bob Inglis (R-South Carolina) believes that DeSantis is missing a golden opportunity by failing to tackle climate change from the right.
The former GOP congressman told The Guardian, "He could've been the post-Trump successful governor, the solver of problems. But instead, he's choosing to be more of the anti-woke warrior than Trump. He's slugging it out in the Trump lane, which is really a terrible mistake…. He could've said, 'Hey, we are dealing with this climate issue in Florida. Let's lead the world on this.' Instead, he's trying to out-Trump Trump."

Spring Fling is Spartanburg's annual street festival. We went downtown to it this year. Connor enjoyed the bounce castles and rides. I got to wonder around and photograph stuff that caught my eye. We watched the Disc-Connected Frisbee Dogs show, listened to various musicians as we walked the festival's streets, and admired the artists' works in their displays.

There are a million and one ways to make a chocolate chip cookie. You've either tried them all and are still looking, or you've found a recipe you like so much that you quit looking. I'm in the middle of the two, and when a customer of my dad's gave him a recipe for chocolate chips cookies along with a sample (a long time ago), I knew I needed to try this other version.
You have probably heard of it before. The version I made is called Lazarus Chocolate Chunk Cookies, also known as the Neiman-Marcus cookie. What makes it different from other recipes is the addition of oat flour which gives the cookie complexity without changing the texture too much. Along with chocolate chunks (or chips), melted chocolate gets swirled into the dough.
I added a tablespoon of instant espresso powder to the dough, and I suggest you do the same. You could also sprinkle the tops with coarse salt and sub some of the all-purpose flour for bread flour, a la the NYT chocolate chip cookie. Perhaps in place of instant espresso powder you could add freshly ground coffee to the dough like I did in for the NYT cookies. Possibilities are endless. I'm constantly merging recipes to find my ultimate recipe, so I play around a lot.
The oat flour is what does it for me. I was so impressed by the flavor and chewy texture back when I first tried this recipe that I started experimenting with oat flour in other recipes, like a biscotti recipe I need to blog about, and my recently posted oatmeal scones. Because of the chips and melted chocolate, this cookies packs an intense chocolatey punch. Next time, I'd use more brown sugar than white because I like a deeper molasses-like flavor in the dough portion.
So, even if you have already found your favorite go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe, I urge you to give this recipe a try. It may not replace your favorite recipe, but it will give you another option for when you want a cookie with a little more substance.
Recipe after jump.

Lazarus Chocolate Chip Cookies
Recipe from various sources on the internet
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups oats, ground to a flour in the food processor)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
4 ounces melted milk chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 375°; line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, oat flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- In a large bowl, beat butter with both sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat until combined. Add espresso powder and vanilla and mix just until combined. Using a large wooden spoon or spatula, stir in the flour mixture until a few streaks of flour remain. Add the chocolate chips and melted chocolate, stirring until chips are mixed throughout dough. Chill in refrigerator for 30-60 minutes.
- Portion out 1-2 tablespoon portions onto prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1-2 inches of space in between dough balls. Press down with palm of your hand until the cookies form 1/2-inch thick disks. Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until tops of cookies are just set and edges have browned slightly. Let cool on baking sheet for 10 minute, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

Full freight boom in Basel
While the passenger business at Basel-Mulhouse Airport (EAP) showed a mixed performance in 2021, as expected (-60% compared to 2019), the bi-national airport's cargo business climbed to 119,300 t (2020: +10%, 2019: +12.3%).
As announced at the New Year's media conference yesterday, 26 January 2022, which was held purely online for the second year in a row, all sub-sectors reported gains in volume.
Flown airfreight increased by 14.5% to 73,800 t, of which full freight, thanks in part to the introduction of a twice-weekly Air Canada Cargo service to Toronto in April, described as a "milestone", amounted to 19,800 t (2020: +18.2%, 2019: +46.5%), and express cargo by 13.2% to 54,000 t. RFS volume (45,530 t) improved by 3.3%.
Qatar Airways Cargo is still the airport's largest full cargo line, while Turkish Cargo completes the current trio. Airport director Matthias Suhr told ITJ that he is in talks with other capacity providers. (ah)

B/R NFL 1000: Series Ranks NFL's Best Players in 2013February 17, 2014
Who is crazy enough to try to rank the top 1,000 players in the NFL?
The goal of the annual B/R NFL 1000, now in Year 3, is simple: Rank the best players in the NFL, bottom to top, and provide an across-position analysis that identifies the best and most valuable players in the league for the 2013 season.
And that's an important note. This isn't about what a player did before 2013. This isn't about what a player has the potential to do after 2013. This is about the 17 weeks of the regular season and the playoffs. Period.
So how did we do it?
Each player was scouted by me and a team of four experienced evaluators—Dan Bazal, B.J. Kissel, Dan Hope and Cian Fahey. We divided up every NFL position and went to work. We watched and rewatched regular-season games and took notes—lots of notes, actually.
Then grades were assigned for the key scouting criteria used to assess each position. Each player was scored on a potential scale of 100 points, then ranked within their position and ranked as an overall player.
To be eligible, a player was required to participate in a set number of snaps per position. It was 200 for every position other than quarterback and running back. When evaluating those two positions, we did not set a minimum number of snaps.
For quarterbacks, that made sense because so few played a significant number of snaps in 2013. Likewise, the role of a secondary running back continues to grow in the NFL, and a snap count would have eliminated many players who played a vital role in their team's season.
Injured players, like Percy Harvin, also weren't ranked. They'll be back next year. Stats were largely ignored or used only as a supporting argument. These aren't fantasy football rankings, after all.
In the case of ties, our team asked, "Which player would I rather have on my team?" and set the rankings accordingly.
Sounds easy, right? Not exactly.
Months of hard work and countless hours of film study have gone into creating the 2014 edition of the NFL 1000 series. While you may disagree with a player's ranking, the scouting report and information given is designed to at least provide a new insight or fresh look at each player.
After the first mention of each player's name, his height, weight and number of seasons played through 2013 are listed in parentheses.
All statistics are from Pro Football Focus (subscription required). Players' heights, weights and seasons played are from NFL.com.

Many African-Americans know for sure that they have their roots back in Africa. However, the specific country, which language or culture, they are not aware; this is especially as a result of slavery that disconnected them from their ancestral stories and roots. Because of this, African-Americans over the years have resorted to DNA testing as a means to quench their curiosity about their roots. This resolve was mostly inspired by Alex Haley’s 1977 television miniseries “Roots” – about tracing Haley’s genealogy back to the Gambia.
DNA testing as a means of tracing genealogy, has been embraced by many prominent African-American personalities, like Isaiah Washington, T.D Jakes and Forest Whitaker, however many people still doubt the accuracy. Recently many people have a problem believing that the tests results are accurate and what they really mean.
An African-American teacher in the United States, Nware Burge, has taken up the initiative to try and reverse those doubts with his new documentary titled: DNA: Using genealogy to change my (slave) last name. The documentary recently won an award of best documentary award at the Black Star International Film Festival held in Ghana’s capital Accra.
Burge is urging African-Americans who are curious about their roots to get the DNA test. He says, “We have a lot of people that question the DNA. I feel like we use DNA for anthropological studies; we use DNA for exonerating prisoners; we use DNA for science and all this… DNA for everything. So why not make it a vital tool to understand who we are.”
He also adds that, “We do have people who will say we don’t need it. I, because of my experiences here in the States, we have a lot of people who may not necessarily claim Africa or say they are Africans because of stigmatization, because of what media, specifically white media has stigmatized the continent.”
So much of the link between the African-Americans and their African roots was lost in slavery, the moment their ancestors stepped on the American soil. Slaves were forced to adopt the foreign culture and abandon their cultural and religious practices. And during the Civil War most of the archives that had the arrival of slaves documented, were destroyed, making it even harder for genealogy research.
DNA testing has been giving lots of African-Americans a chance to reconnect with their roots. However, most of them complain that it becomes very difficult to be accepted by their communities of origin. Burges believes that with education, this trend can be reversed.
Burges, who strongly believes in the importance of connecting to ones roots, says that he is open to the idea of living in his country of origin.
He said, “One of the main reasons I’m doing this [getting a DNA test] is because many may not be familiar with the story; the story of Africans being brought to the Americas, the Caribbean…so a lot of us don’t know where we are from. A lot of us want to know where we are from in Africa and so once I get my results back, for me, I’m going to apply for a citizenship but I want to go specifically to my ethnic group to meet with the family, the elders and the community first and foremost, give permission and hopefully to be granted from the elders or from the administration or from the State.”

Former Morgan Stanley adviser joins Shaw and Partners
Non-aligned advice firm Shaw and Partners has appointed a former Morgan Stanley adviser to its team of senior advisers.
In a statement, the firm said Hatem Matar has been appointed private client adviser. Mr Matar joins from Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, where he was previously senior derivatives adviser.
He also held roles at Ord Minnett, St George Bank and Leveraged Equities.
Shaw and Partners head of wealth management Earl Evans said: "Providing a holistic and comprehensive client experience is Shaw and Partners' primary aim. Having people like Hatem join our team allows us to offer broader skills and expertise to our clients."
He added: "Hatem's experience in derivatives trading will prove invaluable to our other advisers and their clients who are looking to invest in that space."
The latest appointment follows a string of hires by Shaw and Partners over the last year, including a former CBA executive who joined the firm last month.
Mr Evans said advisers are approaching Shaw and Partners because they are looking for an organisation that understands their needs and that allows them to offer clients personalised service.
"The flat structure of Shaw and Partners is a major attraction as advisers have access to all levels of management, all the time," he said.
"The recent launch of the Shaw and Partners Foundation also fits well with advisers who support philanthropic causes and who have clients who are interested in being with an organisation that understands its social responsibilities."

After defeating Cardinal Stritch 26-18 two weeks ago, the Danbury Lakers have fallen on tough times, losing their last two games by a combined 79 points to fall to 2-4 and 1-2 in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference.
Last week the Lakers fell to Toledo Christian 39-7. The Eagles, who defeated the Lakers 35-16 last season, improved to 4-2 overall and 3-0 in the TAAC while the Lakers fell to 2-4 and 1-2 in the league.
TC was led by quarterback Josh Winzeler and running back Tevin Williams, who, throughout the evening, were able to pick apart the Danbury defense. On top of that, the Eagles defense was able hold the Lakers' attack in check, allowing only one touchdown.
This week the Lakers travel to Northwood to face the Rangers, who are off to a 6-0 start. Northwood, the reigning TAAC champions, has been absolutely dominant this season, scoring at least 35 points in every game and winning each contest by at least 28 points.
The Rangers feature a wishbone offense that utilizes the option and has been incredibly successful this season. Northwood, which is currently ranked third in the Division V, Region 18 Standings, defeated Hilltop 54-7 last week behind 441 yards of total offense and three touchdowns from quarterback Nick Russell.


New Delhi: Sanskrit is the "mother of all languages" and should get its "rightful place" being the "soul of Bharat", RSS mouthpiece Organiser has said.
"We have given a step-motherly treatment to the mother of all languages since the word go. The time has come that we recognise Sanskrit as the soul of Bharat," an editorial in the weekly magazine said.
It, however, maintained this does not mean discarding English or any other Indian language, but accepting Sanskrit as the "source of our vision of life" and promoting it accordingly.
"Hope that this discussion takes us beyond the distorted secularism practised in Bharat and paves the way for reinstating the rightful position to the mother of all languages," it further said.
A major controversy had erupted when HRD Ministry under Smriti Irani decided to replace German with Sanskrit as the third language in government-run Kendriya Vidyalayas. The Modi government has also been accused of trying to saffronise education.
Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's statement after 'shloka' recitation by children during his recent trip to Ireland, the editorial took a dig at secularists for raking up a controversy over it.
After he was welcomed with rendition of shlokas, Modi had said he was impressed by the way the children internalised the message in the Sanskrit verses.
"The Irish children were reciting shlokas in Sanskrit and singing welcome songs. It did not seem to me that they were just tutored. They were able to express the feelings of the words," the Prime Minister said during his short speech.
"I congratulate their teachers. It's a matter of happiness that we can do it in Ireland. But had it been done in India, then questions would have been raised on secularism," he had said.
The Organiser editorial said,"The secularists in Bharat did not disappoint him (Modi) and they made a controversy over it. The jibe on foreign land might have hurt some people but their response reflects our general mindset towards Sanskrit and it is definitely rooted in the import of a foreign term, 'secularism'. We should not forget that he was talking to the Bharateeya community and not the foreign audience."
It said whether it is the recitation of Saraswati Vandana or Omkar or observance of Sanskrit Week in CBSE schools, these are opposed.
The editorial said it was argued in Parliament that Sanskrit is the language of Hindus.


In regards to the drama concerning the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment was written at the end of a war; America's Revolutionary War. During that war the "assault rifle," actually a musket. The most prevalent was called "Brown Bess," which fired a .75 caliber (3/4 inch) round or bullet capable of inflicting tremendous wounds. Brown Bess was perhaps, the best assault weapon of its day and was used for hunting. Each Brown Bess had the means of attaching a 14-inch bayonet. In the Revolutionary War, opposing armies stood approximately 50 to 75 yards apart, fired their assault weapons and then charged (assaulted) opposing troops and used the bayonet. The Brown Bess was a formidable weapon and was still being used in the Civil War, as late as 1862, in the Battle of Shiloh.
The Second Amendment was not written with the intent to allow citizens to have a pistol to protect themselves from violent criminals; nor was it written to ensure people had a hunting rifle (musket). It was written to ensure the populace (adult males) had the means (Brown Bess) to band together in a militia to fight tyranny and oppression. The Founding Fathers approved the populace having an assault rifle to fight tyranny. Today's Brown Bess is the AR16/15. The contemporary notion that the Second Amendment is about violent crime and hunting is simply not true.
Some in government want to ban assault weapons; because they are so destructive, the cause of murder and mayhem. The first or second weekend after Sandy Hook, 16 murders took place in Chicago ... in one weekend. Chicago had approximately 350 murders in 2012; mostly inner-city adolescent gang members. No uproar over that. The News-Star recently had an image of an AR-type rifle with a caption stating that FBI statistics showed 326 murders in 2011 were committed with assault rifles, another image of a hammer, with the caption stating FBI statistics showed there were more than 400 murders involving hammers in the same year. The current issue of the news magazine, The Week, prints that 323 people were killed in 2011, by rifles, including assault rifles. Assault rifles are rarely used to commit crimes. The preferred weapon for violent crime is the pistol. A large number of hunters use AR-style rifles for hunting. I have shot numerous deer and a large number of feral hogs with an AR-style rifle.
The Second Amendment: A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Nothing that states or even implies only certain arms shall be available. Nothing that states people have a right to defend themselves against violent crime, nothing that states people should be allowed weapons for hunting. The amendment concerns and is directed toward citizens' ability to fight tyranny, oppression and injustice. Many people believe that tyranny, oppression and injustice will never happen in the USA. I hope they are right.

Between the Hallucinatory and the Real
University of Brighton Gallery, Friday 18th September - Monday 28th September 2009
MA09 showcases diverse new work by students graduating from the University of Brighton MA Photography course. This year’s graduates will be exhibiting a wide variety of work that aims to push the boundaries of documentary, editorial, landscape and still life photography. Using a range of different media – photography, video, holography, and modes of exhibition that range from the formal framed print to the installation, from photobook to plasma screen, their work demonstrates the wide variety of individual research projects undertaken on the course.
Work featured in the exhibition ranges from the political analysis of space and place, as in Ignacio Acosta’s spectacular high definition photographs of Canary Wharf office blocks and Corrine Silva’s trenchant analysis of the postmodern landscapes of modern Almeria, to more personal and psychologically inflected representations of the English landscape: Paul Kemp’s melancholic suburban parklands and Will Woods’ explorations
of landscapes that are tinged by unexpected intimations of the marvelous and unexpected. The structures of the unconscious, the dream and the filmic determine the photo-narratives of Eva Voutsaki, and the unconscious
as the site of trauma is the starting point for Will Sadowski’s explorations of war imagery, artefacts, and stories. Andrew Moran presents a series of video pieces that explore the relationship of the still to the moving image through a reflective practice. This meditation upon a kind of photographic death is paralleled by Lisa Creagh’s huge flower pictures that interrogate the relationship between the 17th century flower painting and the airless fractal space of the digital print.
The highly acclaimed Photography MA attracts new and established photographers, both nationally and internationally. The course encourages experimentation and innovation within a specific field on a central independent project, allowing students to develop an informed, critical and imaginative view of their own practice. Students come from a wide range of photographic, fine art and design fields, giving the course its characteristic diversity. Previous students include Nicky Walsh (winner of the Jerwood Photography Prize 2008) and Stephen Vaughan. Staff on the course include photographic writers Joanna Lowry and David Green, Magnum photographer Mark Power, Fergus Heron and Esther Teichman.

Year of Nissan Terrano
Nissan Terrano photos, specs - Car Pictures & Images
For the model marketed as Nissan Terrano II in Europe, see Nissan Mistral.
The Nissan Pathfinder and Terrano were originally compact SUVs and they are now mid-size SUVs. Where as the Pathfinder is sold in North America, the name first introduced in late 1986, elsewhere in the world the vehicle was known as the Terrano. The first generation Pathfinder/ Terrano platform is known as the WD21. The second generation Pathfinder platform is known as the R50, and the third generation is known as the R51. The Pathfinder is slotted in size between the Murano and Armada or Patrol, but in price between the Xterra and Murano.
Used Nissan Terrano
The North American first generation Pathfinder came in two different bodies, and shared styling and most components with the Nissan Hardbody Truck. In the US from 1986.5 to 1989 Pathfinders came in a two door body. In early 1990 it became a four door in the United States. Some US 1990 Pathfinder's came with the two door body, but they are rare. The 2-door version was available in Canada until 1992. From 86.5 to 1989 Pathfinders were available with either the Nissan VG30I V6 (145hp (108kW), 180lb·ft (244N·m) torque), or the Z24(106hp (79kW)) I4. In 1990 the V6 received an upgrade from throttle body injection to a multi point fuel injection system. This engine was known as the VG30E, and was rated at 153hp (114kW) and 180lb·ft (244N·m) torque. Also in 1990, the Z24 was replaced with the KA24E. The first generation continued until 1995. This generation also came out in the 2.7l I4 Diesel Engine known as the TD27 with the option of a turbocharger to increase the power rating.
The first generation pathfinders are (in salted road locales) notorious for the frame above and behind the rear wheels rusting away and killing such a fine vehicle.
A facelift occurred in 1990 when the 4-door model arrived. When the 2-door model disappeared from Canada in 1992, the Pathfinder was sold only as a 4-door in 1993, and the bumper got a minor facelift that time.
The second generation was introduced in 1996 with more rounded styling. The second generation Pathfinder was completely redesigned from the first generation, switching from body on frame construction to unibody construction. The engine was upgraded to the VG33E, with 168hp (125kW) and 196lb·ft (266N·m) torque. For the 1999 1/ 2 model year, the Pathfinder was freshened. 2001 brought a new 240hp (179kW) V6 engine, the VQ35DE. With its facelift, the Pathfinder also grew in size, making way for the compact Xterra.
The Pathfinder was facelifted in 2000, and then again in 2002, when it switched to a newer grille. Another facelift occurred in 2003, when the current Nissan logo was added and received a bolder grille versus the 2002 model.

SANTA ANA (CNS) - Orange County supervisors voted 3-2 Tuesday to place a measure on the gubernatorial recall ballot to change term limits for supervisors.
Supervisors are limited to two consecutive terms, but can run for two more terms if they skip an election. The proposal that will appear on the recall ballot would allow supervisors to serve three consecutive terms but none after that.
“This is a greatly misunderstood proposal,'' Orange County Board Vice Chairman Doug Chaffee said. “This is actually putting a cap on terms to three and we're not deciding the issue.
“We're putting it on the ballot for the people to decide... I understand a lot of people don't like the ideal. Well, they can vote against it.''
Chaffee also said voters can also reject a supervisor's re-election.
“You still have to get elected. You can't just walk in,'' Chaffee said.
Supervisors Don Wagner and Katrina Foley voted no.
Wagner said he was no fan of term limits.
“I would suggest that term limits are unnecessary,'' Wagner said. “(Today) we've heard about recalls... talk of taking us out at the next election... Term limits are antithetical to a democracy. That said, they're popular with the public.''
Wagner said that because of state law if voters approve the new term limits it “resents everyone's clock'' so the current supervisors could then run for three more terms before being termed out.
“I don't believe we should change the rules in the middle of the game,'' Wagner said. “I would hope that the public when it ultimately votes on this measure that the public is aware that what you're doing is potentially allowing any one of us to serve into 2034.''
Orange County Board Chairman Andrew Do said it was a “difficult matter for me to consider.''
Do noted this was his 14th year working “on the fifth floor'' of the County Hall of Administration.
Do said he would not try to take advantage of having more time to serve if it is approved by voters.
“I will tell you right now I will not serve more than 12 years,'' Do said. “I will say that on the record right now... I'm going to abide by the 12-year lifetime ban.''
Do was elected to the board in a special election in January 2015 and re-elected in 2016 and again last year.
Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer is the only person to take advantage of serving two terms and then returning to the board.
Former Orange County Supervisor John Moorlach, who served two terms, attempted to again get elected in the special election that Foley won in March.
“We don't need this,'' Wagner said. “It's only happened once before and someone else tried and failed.''
Supervisor Lisa Bartlett said the proposal “mirrors what's happening with the state'' offices. A state lawmaker can serve for 12 years and then there is a lifetime ban, Bartlett said.
“I think the public at large doesn't want to see someone in office for 30 or 40 years,'' Bartlett said. “We're not only mirroring what's happened at the state level, but what's happened in large urban counties across the country.''

My parents had a restaurant, and from thirteen or fourteen I knew that I would be a cook. I can do whatever I want, I have complete freedom, but for a chef it’s very important. I have been cooking since I was 13 years old – frying potatoes, doing some trivial things. And I always knew more than my friends. However, I built a further career consciously. Even while studying, I realized that I prefer cookery to the confectionery business. Then she worked with Japanese and Mexican cuisines. Now I’m actively learning Italian cuisine. I cook pasta with mild cheese and basil pesto sauce. People are surprised when they try it. But it’s very tasty. I do not regret spending time preparing food. I chose the cook’s profession, because he always liked delicious food. I never get bored when I cook checked or come up with new dishes.

State Water Monitors Back in Business
The Senate unanimously approved and Gov. George Deukmejian on Friday signed legislation providing $3 million to put the state Department of Health Services back in the business of monitoring the purity of California’s drinking water.
Officials said the “urgency” measure, which took effect as soon as the governor signed it, is expected to allow the reopening early next week of 13 field offices throughout the state that work with local utilities to assure safe drinking water supplies. The offices have been closed since Jan. 1 for lack of funds.
The Administration-sponsored legislation by Assemblyman Bill Jones (R-Fresno) will finance the drinking water program for the next six months. The Senate sent it to Deukmejian on a 34-0 vote without debate. The measure already had been approved by the Assembly.
Legislative budget writers last summer provided enough money to finance the program only from July through December. An additional $3 million to fund the next six months was put into a second bill, which failed. The Jones measure approved Friday restores the money for the department.
Mary Griffin, a Department of Health Services lobbyist who shepherded the bill through the Legislature, said that 150 water program workers temporarily reassigned to other work will return to the 13 field offices and get the program moving again.
“It’s been our goal to have those offices operational next week,” Griffin said. Callers to some of the closed offices--formally called the Public Water Supply Branch--have heard a taped message telling them that the operation has been “discontinued temporarily until funding for the program has been restored by the state Legislature.” In case of emergency, callers were advised to leave a message at the tone.
Some lawmakers have criticized the department, accusing it of dragging its feet in setting standards for about two dozen pollutants. The department contended that the task was highly complex and time-consuming.
Kip Lipper, consultant to the Assembly Natural Resources Committee, said the legislation restoring the $3 million followed an agreement on a compromise bill by Committee Chairman Byron D. Sher (D-Palo Alto), Jones, state Health Services Director Kenneth Kizer and local water utilities.
He said the bill, for the first time, would require the department to consider public health, technical feasibility and costs when it sets minimum standards for safe drinking water.
In addition, Lipper said the bill would require that the public be notified when the contaminants in an area’s water supply exceed safety standards. The bill also would encourage local water agencies to set even tougher public health protection goals than those adopted by the state, he said.
Times staff writer Myron Levin contributed to this story from Los Angeles.


After months of surveying and picking the brains of more than 3,000 local residents, the Santa Cruz County Community Assessment Project (CAP) has released the results for their five-year county goals. The set of goals for 2015 range from economic aims (such as “increase the percentage of economic activity with Santa Cruz County by 10 percent and “re-localize” 10 percent of our commuting workforce”) to hopes for the natural environment (including to “develop a local sustainable food system: all community members have access to affordable locally grown food produced in a sustainable manner that preserves farmland fertility”). The CAP has been helping set community goals since 1994, and now annually tracks and measures the progress of each goal. Visit santacruzcountycap.org for the complete list of 2015 goals.

A flood watch will be in effect from Saturday afternoon through Saturday evening in the Harrisburg area, according to the National Weather Service in State College.
The flood watch will run from noon until 7 p.m. Warmer temperatures are expected to lead to the melting of snow and ice and the NWS is projecting rain for much of Saturday.
The forecast Saturday includes a 90 percent chance of precipitation and new rainfall between half and three quarters of an inch. The high is near 53. The low overnight is around 36 and rain could continue through 1 a.m. Sunday.
The NWS says that a flood watch means there is a potential for flooding on small streams, creeks and in urban, low-lying areas.

•2010 has proved that the Arab steel industry was taking up the direction of reinforcing its strength after the confrontation it passed through as of the beginning of the last quarter of 2008 and 2009. In spite of what this industry has suffered from, this has not affected its determination to enter into new projects or expanding the production capacities.
•There is a certain peculiarity in the quality of the challenges faced by the steel industry. On one hand, there is a self-challenge imposed by the wish for continued development, and on the other, there is another challenge imposed by the speed of change meeting this industry, either at the level of the markets which have become more open or at the level of the technologies which have become more diversified. This has increased the importance of confrontation and making use of the experience in identifying the image of the winners and losers in the future. The iron and steel industry was one of the industries most affected by the global crisis due to the fact that this industry is connected with all economic activities. In spite of the difficult circumstances faced by this industry at both regional and international levels, the ability to face the crisis through execution of the expansion plans has had a great impact in continuing and leading growth towards success and setting the significant strategies after passing through the experience of the crisis and making use of it.
•This was proved during 2010 which was full of strong achievements. We sum up such achievements by some examples:
-The new hot rolling project started up in Morocco during February 2010.
-Alhamriyah project in Sharjah also started up at the beginning of January 2010.
-Fouladh company in Bahrain inaugurated its new pellets project. Also, the foundation stone of «Steel» complex in Bahrain was installed.
-In addition to other several projects and improved prices compared to 2009. A number of companies have announced positive results during the second quarter of 2010.
•2011 will witness another breakthrough of the Arab iron and steel industry after eliminating the consequences of the global crisis and receiving the signs of the return of the world economy back to its former activity. The Arab steel mills are approaching to run with their full capacities, and the steel prices are now uptrending to compensate the losses of some steel companies during the months of the global economic crisis ,which were accompanied by the stoppage of many production lines. Sometimes, some of the mills had to sell their products at prices less than the cost price and eliminate their stocks. The next period will witness more efforts by the steel producers with the decision makers to protect the Arab markets against selling products of non-Arab countries in our Arab markets which cause dumping of some of these markets under an unfair competition by the products of such countries.
It is expected that in 2011 the Arab markets will also see more intimate closeness between the steel leaders in the Arab countries under the efforts exerted by the Arab Iron and Steel Union to achieve integration of this industry.
•It is also expected to see the production of the joint Arab projects in the steel industry in the Arab markets, in addition to making the decision on the still under-study joint Arab projects.
The success of the Arab steel industry will come true by the existence of the giant projects characterized with the joint Arab investment and the sophisticated technology which can compete not only in the Arab markets but also in the world markets.
Fragmentation of the steel industry by setting up small mills scattered here and there will not bring our ambitions and dreams as Arab countries producing iron and steel to come true.

You use TSI. I don’t. But I thought I should consider it.
BarChart’s default parameters for TSI are 25,13,7. Written as a formula, TSI = 4x +1, 2x+1, 1x+1 where ‘X’ = 6. So, do this. Swap in other numbers for ‘X’ and see if the indicator becomes more/less useful. (10,7,4) provides crisper signals, but also ones that are redundant to the X-overs seen in the MA pair. So, the speeded-up version isn’t needed.
If the default version is kept, does it provide better signals than MACD or PMO? That’s easy to check, right? And the answer is that the default version does its X-overs pretty much in synch with the default versions of MACD and PMO, all of which signal too slow for my tastes.
Necessary conclusion? You’ll tolerate a cluttered chart, with multiple panels mostly providing the same info. I want minimalist charts. For me, that means hollow candles, a MA pair --MATRI (3 & 4), though nearly anything works–, and a second panel with StochRSI (14,14), thusly, https://www.barchart.com/shared-chart/URA?chart_url=i_165706…
Second point: You’ve built more versions of ‘Simon’ than I can keep track off. So I’ve built my own. If we’re going to run a fair test, each of us should settle on a single chart template and then see what we can do with it.

Threatening speech: Nehal Hashmi submits reply to Supreme Court
ISLAMABAD: Senator Nehal Hashmi submitted his response to the Supreme Court in a case pertaining to his incendiary and threatening remarks against the judiciary and the Panama JIT, ARY News reported on Tuesday.
In his reply, Hashmi denied threatening the judges and the members of the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) probing the allegations of money laundering against the Sharif family. He submitted that he had not threatened any JIT member, nor had given any contemptuous remarks against the judiciary.
He reiterated that his statement was taken out of context. A specific part of his speech was repeatedly played causing irreparable damage to his reputation. He pleaded to the judges to take action against the conspirators.
Earlier, the apex court had given him ten days as a last chance to submit his reply in the case.
The three-member bench – headed by Justice Ejaz Afzal Khan – had taken up the case against Hashmi over his threats to the judiciary and JIT members.
“For cause of justice, one more chance is being given to submit his reply within 10 days,” Justice Ejaz observed while directing the attorney general to handover the transcript to Hashmi, which delivered to him instantly.
Subsequently, Hashmi pleaded with the bench to nullify the criminal cases registered against him in Karachi, to which Justice Azmat Saeed Sheikh of the bench replied that is not the court’s concern.
It is worth mentioning here that the top court had taken a suo motu notice after Hashmi’s — then the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Sindh secretary general — video surfaced on May 31 in which he threatened those investigating the prime minister.
The bench will take up the case on June 23.

Lysobacter bacteria were frequently found in disease-suppressive soils. Wageningen UR has started a project to study the diversity of Lysobacter populations and the mode of action of this bacterium to suppress plant diseases. The acquired knowledge will enable the development of alternative methods for the protection of plants against pathogens.
Scientists of Wageningen University and Plant Research International (PRI) are collaborating to acquire more fundamental knowledge about Lysobacter because little is known about the genetics and neither about the metabolites produced by Lysobacter.
The Phytopathology Group, part of Wageningen University, studies the genome sequences of various Lysobacter species and their significance for the functioning of the bacterium. The Group is cooperating with Rutgers University from the United States and with the business unit Biointeractions and Plant Health of PRI. This business unit investigates the conditions under which Lysobacter is active.
Earlier PRI studies showed the suppressiveness of Lysobacter towards the fungal pathogen Rhizoctonia solani as well as stimulation of the activity of Lysobacter by chitin and cheap protein-rich waste products. Until now, however, the mechanisms of this soil suppressiveness and the role of Lysobacter in these processes were unclear. Fundamental research will lead to more knowledge about the metabolites produced by Lysobacter and the condition under which this bacterium is active.

Gun safety and domestic violence prevention advocates were set to rally at the Supreme Court. Gabby Giffords, the former
congresswoman from Arizona who was shot in 2011, was expected to speak,
WASHINGTON − The Supreme Court will hear arguments Tuesday in a case challenging a law banning domestic abusers from owning guns, pushing the high court into a thorny Second Amendment battle a year after its conservative majority handed down a landmark decision that’s threatened gun laws across the nation.
In one of the most closely watched cases of the year, a Texas man named Zackey Rahimi is asking the Supreme Court to throw out his conviction under a federal law that bars people from possessing guns if they are the subject of a domestic violence restraining order. The court’s decision, expected next year, could have sweeping implications for other gun laws if it clarifies the legal standard by which those prohibitions should be judged.
Underscoring the significance of the case, hundreds of gun safety and domestic violence prevention advocates were set to rally at the Supreme Court during and after the arguments. Among the people expected to speak: Gabby Giffords, the former Democratic congresswoman from Arizona who was shot in 2011 and has since become a leading gun control advocate.
“The Court has a choice to make: give the gun lobby what they want in their all-out assault on public safety, or protect survivors,” said Angela Ferrell-Zabala, executive director of Moms Demand Action. “The choice should be simple – the Supreme Court must reverse the Rahimi decision.”
Even Second Amendment rights groups acknowledge that Rahimi, who was involved in five shootings between 2020 and 2021, should not have access to guns. In 2019, Rahimi pulled out a gun and fired at a passerby who witnessed him dragging his girlfriend through a parking lot. Months later, after getting into an accident, he repeatedly shot at the other driver. In 2021, he fired several times after a friend’s credit card was declined at a burger joint.
But those groups, including the National Rifle Association, argue that Rahimi should have his guns confiscated only after he has been convicted of the crimes. The federal law that bars people from owning guns because of a restraining order, those groups say, is inconsistent with the way courts have historically viewed punishment.
“Rahimi should not only lose his Second Amendment liberties, but he should also lose all of his liberties − if the allegations against him are ultimately proven true with sufficient due process,” the National Rifle Association told the Supreme Court in a brief last month. “But constitutional safeguards cannot be set aside to obtain those ends.”
The historical view will be central to the discussion Tuesday. That’s because the Supreme Court handed down a major decision just last year in which a majority of the court said that state and federal gun regulations must be “consistent with this nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation” to survive court challenges.
While the law made no reference to guns and domestic violence at the time of the nation’s founding, gun control groups say there is plenty of history around the idea of states banning dangerous people possessing guns. That, they argue, should be enough to uphold Rahimi’s conviction and protect similar gun prohibitions.
Advocates for ending domestic abuse say women are five times more likely to die from domestic violence if the abuser has access to a gun.
The Supreme Court hears arguments in the case, U.S. v. Rahimi, at 10 a.m. EST.
