Occuity's mission is to provide solutions to some of humanity's greatest health challenges through the development of revolutionary optical technologies to improve the screening & monitoring of chronic health conditions such as diabetes and Alzheimer's Disease.
Founded in 2019, Occuity is a UK-based medical technology company specialising in the research, design, and production of handheld non-contacting optical instruments for use in healthcare, diagnostics, and monitoring. Occuity’s scanning technology uses light to obtain precise measurements of different structures within the eye. This will enable direct measurements of the eye for optometrists and ophthalmologists but also other more general health conditions such as diabetes and Alzheimer’s Disease to be monitored.
Occuity's Intellectual Property includes nine granted international patents with a further five patent applications covering the measurement technique and optical technology that forms the basis of the devices along with additional patents relating to the alignment and measurements within the eye.
We're designing and developing a range of handheld, optical non-contacting devices. Our first device will be the world’s first handheld, non-contacting optical pachymeter – The Occuity PM1 – due to launch in 2022.
The underlying technology in the PM1 will be built upon to look at other measurements within the eye. This is likely to include axial length, pupillometry and keratometry for use in both human and veterinary optometry.
Building upon our patented technology, Occuity's disease screening products, will make it easier and cheaper to screen for diseases such as diabetes and Alzheimer's in non-clinical settings such as high street opticians, pharmacies and even domiciliary environments such as care homes.
The technology and devices we are developing will be capable of screening for the AGE's that build up in the eye over time. Coupled with machine learning techniques, the readings from this device will aim to give a diagnosis of whether the subject is non-diabetic, pre-diabetic or diabetic.
Occuity’s vision is to deliver the world’s first non-invasive, non-contacting glucose monitor.
Instead of relying on finger stick blood tests to provide blood glucose readings, Occuity are in the process of researching & developing a non-contact handheld optical device to determine the blood glucose level by measuring subtle changes within the anterior chamber of the eye. There are numerous medical papers that support the direct correlation of changes within the anterior chamber with fluctuations in blood glucose. The glucose monitor under development by Occuity builds on this correlation.
Join us on our journey. We are crowdfunding on Seedrs.
Occuity successfully raises over £2m to deliver ophthalmic and optical diabetes devicesView document

White House calls FBI probe into Clinton's classified emails a 'criminal investigation' – to glee of Republicans – on the same day Obama endorses her
- Within an hour of Barack Obama's endorsement of Hillary Clinton, his spokesman acknowledged that she faces a 'criminal investigation'
- The misstep sent Republicans cackling to reporters
- Clinton faces the possibility of prosecution for housing classified documents on a private email server
- She used the homebrew setup for all her emails – including sensitive government matters – when she was secretary of state
- White House press secretary Josh Earnest insisted that the endorsement wouldn't be interpreted inside the FBI as a signal to let her off the hook
- See more of the latest news on the FBI probe into Hillary Clinton's emails
Barack Obama's spokesman described the FBI's probe into Hillary Clinton's classified email scandal as a 'criminal investigation' on Thursday, less than an hour after the president endorsed his embattled former secretary of state to succeed him.
Josh Earnest told reporters during a White House press briefing that Obama was committed to keeping his hands off the investigation, trusting career investigators and prosecutors to follow evidence wherever it leads.
'That's what their responsibility is,' Earnest said. 'And that's why the president, when discussing this issue in each stage, has reiterated his commitment to this principle that any criminal investigation should be conducted independent of any sort of political interference.'
OOPS: White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Thursday that President Obama won't interfere with 'any criminal investigation' like the one Hillary Clinton faces over classified documents in her private emails
HE SAID WHAT? Clinton has referred to the FBI probe as a routine 'security inquiry,' resisting the idea that she could face criminal charges as she makes her run for the White House
A search Thursday through White House briefing transcripts for similar acknowledgements turned up none.
Republican National Committee spokesman Michael Short crowed to reporters that 'the White House’s admission that the FBI is investigating Hillary Clinton’s email server as a "criminal" matter shreds her dishonest claim that it is a routine "security inquiry".'
'This is another reminder of her reckless conduct as Obama’s secretary of state, where her attempt to skirt government transparency laws exposed highly classified information and put our national security at risk.'
Obama gave Clinton his official nod Thursday in a video message, saying: 'I know how hard this job can be. That's why I know Hillary will be so good at it. In fact, I don't think there's ever been someone so qualified to hold this office.'
In the press briefing that followed, a Fox News Channel reporter challenged Earnest on the question of whether civil servants in the U.S. Department of Justice might see the presidential endorsement as a signal that it was time to wrap up their investigations.
Clinton has been dogged for more than a year by charges that she exposed state secrets to hackers and foreign governments by keeping all her email correspondence on a private homebrew server while she was secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.
Depending on evidentiary nuances, that could violate the U.S. Espionage Act and subject Clinton to 10 years in prison, even if she put classified documents in an 'unsecured' location through simple negligence.
Clinton said Wednesday that she 'absolutely' will not face a criminal indictment.
More than 2,000 such documents have been identified in State Department reviews of emails that Clinton turned over in late 2014 – nearly two years after she was supposed to. She also deleted more than 32,000 messages, unilaterally deeming them 'personal' in nature.
Earnest insisted that 'the reason that the president feels confident that he can go out and make this endorsement and record a video in which he describes his strong support for Secretary Clinton's campaign is that he knows the people who are conducting the investigation aren't going to be swayed by any sort of political interference.'
'They aren't going to be swayed by political forces. They know that their investigation should be guided by the facts and that they should follow the evidence where it leads. The President has complete confidence that that's exactly what they'll do,' he said.
The reporter asked Earnest whether or not Obama had ever discussed the FBI investigation with Clinton, who is now the Democratic Party's presumptive nominee.
'He has not,' the president's spokesman answered.

A situation in Wichita illustrates the need to tighten state laws on funding for non-candidate campaigns.
Although the Kansas Legislature has made significant improvements in campaign finance reporting laws in recent years, a current situation in Wichita points out that there still is work to be done.
On the Nov. 4 ballot, Wichita voters will decide whether to approve a $370 million bond issue for Wichita schools. Thousands of dollars reportedly are being spent, by both opponents and proponents of the bond issue, for television and newspaper ads, billboards and yard signs. Unfortunately, Wichita voters won’t know before they go to the polls who is spending all that money to try to influence their votes.
Candidates and political action committees must submit reports on contributions and expenditures several times during the campaign, including a report due this Monday for the campaign period running from July 25 to Oct. 23. New reporting laws also require candidates to report contributions over $300 up to the Thursday before the Tuesday election and require PACs to report both contributions and expenditures over $300 up to two days before the election.
Those new, later deadlines give voters important information about who is pouring money into campaigns during their closing days. However, none of those reporting deadlines apply to a bond issue like the one on Wichita’s ballot. Proponents and opponents of the bond issue are required only to report their contributions and expenditures by Dec. 31, well after that information could be of any use to voters.
A Wichita newspaper requested contribution lists from both a pro-bond and anti-bond group, but both refused to supply those lists.
Why is this information important? Many times, it might not be – but sometimes it might. A list of contributors might simply be a list of people who made small contributions to express their opinion that a bond issue should be passed or denied. On the other hand, a list released earlier of contributors to a Wichita pro-bond fundraising event was made up mostly of representatives of construction and architectural firms. Those firms, of course, have every right to contribute money, but voters should be allowed to evaluate for themselves whether those firms are primarily interested in the education of Wichita youngsters or in their own potential financial stakes in the projects.
Reporting of expenditures on noncandidate questions also arose in Wichita last year, when a ballot question on whether to allow casino gambling in the city attracted thousands of dollars of campaign donations. The issue has gotten the attention of Wichita legislators who are likely to sponsor legislation next year to require additional reporting.
That’s the right move. Contributions to non-candidate campaigns may not be a problem in smaller Kansas communities, but when in doubt, the state always should err on the side of providing more, not less, information to voters.

LTS Mountain Lions christened their new Fieldhouse on Monday, December 16. Despite two losses, the enthusiasm in the gym never wavered.
A capacity crowd witnessed a nail-biter in the opener as the Girls JV fell to Hartford 28-29. The girls were paced by some timely baskets and solid defense from junior Charleigh Tifft.
The Boys Varsity was beaten by an older, deep and talented Bellows Falls squad. Senior Jeremy Linfield and freshman Aiden Tarbell paced Long Trail scoring.
The evening was bigger than the results on the court. The excitement of LTS hosting the first home game in the 45-year history of the school was palpable. For the several hundred students, faculty, alumni and fans in attendance, the night was truly special and something to build upon for both this season and the future.

Budget cuts spur use of rugged COTS systemsStory
January 29, 2014
As the U.S. defense budget shrinks, the military's appetite for rugged Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) products will continue to grow. The services can no longer afford the protracted development schedules and massive cost overruns often associated with new programs.
As the U.S. defense budget shrinks, the military’s appetite for rugged Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) products will continue to grow. The services can no longer afford the protracted development schedules and massive cost overruns often associated with new programs. This makes COTS components – from chips to boards to subsystems and systems – attractive in every corner of the procurement world, especially for High Performance Embedded Computing (HPEC) in radar and other sensor applications.
COTS is attractive at the subsystem level because it can reduce risk levels of a program – especially cost and time to market – since there is no upfront Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) overhead. Delivery time can be a matter of weeks and, because it is already ruggedized, the function takes less time to field. The subsystem, already packaged in a standard chassis, could serve as a platform for software development, interoperate as part of a larger system, or plug into a smaller platform at the system level after appropriate testing and certifications have been completed. Rugged COTS subsystems or systems typically have been tested in a laboratory, simulating the intended operating environment, and have achieved a correspondingly high Technology Readiness Level (TRL).
COTS technology can also reduce technical risks, from the early integration of cards, to analysis and testing of how well they work together, to interoperability with other systems, through operation and lifecycle support. Much work has been done upfront to ensure hardware compatibility and to fine-tune the operation of low-level software such as board support packages, drivers, and operating systems.
Ruggedness is also important. Although there is no overarching standard for this quality, vendors typically offer several levels of ruggedization – based on military specs – relating to prospective environmental factors such as temperature, shock, vibration, sand, dust, humidity, and saltwater corrosion. Products are often tested to procedures found in MIL-STD-810.
Ruggedization is now so common in military and aerospace products that it’s typically considered from the beginning – from design, assembly, and test on through thermal management, mechanical engineering, and hermetic control. Ruggedization techniques include elements such as parts screening, substrate material selection, conformal coatings, stiffening, and cooling.
A rugged COTS system can offer a range of processing functions, such as generic CPU boards, video processing, and special-purpose signal processing cards with hundreds of processing engines per chip. But COTS also needs to be flexible, especially at the system level, where so many elements are provided that customers could literally be boxed in before they know it. It’s important for the vendors to have built into their menu of architectures a wide range of flexibility, especially as to the I/O configuration.
An example of a rugged COTS subsystem appropriate for HPEC applications such as radar is the GE Intelligent Platforms D8I-3VF1, a 3U VPX, forced air-cooled platform with as many as three Intel multicore Core i7 boards expandable to eight slots, including video capture, General Purpose Graphics Processing Unit (GPGPU) and switch cards (see Figure 1). Its I/O capability ranges from MIL-STD-1553 and Gigabit Ethernet (GbE).
Figure 1: The GE Intelligent Platforms D8I-3VF1 is a 3U VPX, forced air-cooled platform.
(Click graphic to zoom by 1.9x)
Rugged COTS subsystems and systems are becoming more common because the demand is growing. For example, U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) spending for COTS-equipped aircraft, such as the P-8 Sub Hunter and the KC-46 Tanker, reached $4.71 billion in 2012 and will spike between 2013 and 2016, as these programs reach full production, according to Frost & Sullivan, a U.S. market analysis firm.
Revenues for unmanned systems – which leverage rugged COTS technology and put a premium on ruggedization, as well as economies of Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) – are expected to grow even faster. The aviation side of this market could grow at an annual 12 percent compound annual growth rate, hitting $18.7 billion in 2018, say analysts at Market Research Media. That could produce $86.5 billion in revenues from 2013 to 2018. These numbers don’t include the proliferation of civilian Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), which recently received the blessing of the U.S. Congress. Civilian UAVs will also be deployed with COTS systems.
The military clearly wants more economical and less time-consuming solutions, and rugged COTS is a proven approach to this end.

my name is Emily and I´m 6. Since my first words I have always dreamt to become an ice-hockey player. My mum taught me how to ice-skate during our public skating sessions. And there it has happened. Once a coach noticed my skills and asked mummy to join the team. I was thrilled when she said yes!
I have been practising for 2 months now, I have also had my first match. I love ice-hockey! The only issue is my equipment. I would love to have my own and I´d be delighted to join the hockey camps in July and August. It would cost my mum 1,534 € alltogether.
And here I am, asking for a support from people around the world to get my dream comes true.

Jepsen bonded with beau over Cohen
Carly Rae Jepsen has revealed she and her music producer boyfriend Matthew Koma bonded over their love of Canadian singer Leonard Cohen.
The Call Me Maybe singer is dating the American pop rocker after they worked together on her second album Kiss, and told Radio.com that one of the first things they found they had in common was being fans of the Hallelujah singer.
Carly revealed: "I have a songwriter crush on Leonard Cohen... I grew up loving him.
"Actually, believe it or not, with my boyfriend Matthew Koma, that was one of our first clicks.
"We're driving home, and we're both making a pop record together. And he's asking me who my favourites are and I'm like, 'Leonard Cohen,' and he's like, 'Are you kidding me?' That's one of his favourites, too. That was our first kind of spark right there."
The 27-year-old actress also revealed she is a "total musical theatre buff".
Carly said: "Little known fact, I actually went to musical theatre college and trained with the idea that I wanted to be on Broadway one day. And then I got a guitar and went, 'No I want to write songs'."

Monthly Showcase (3)
Print Campaign - 2017 ADDY Awards Collateral
Our d2i team designed the posters, call for entries mailer, tickets, winners book and certificates for the Advertising Club of Toledo's 2017 ADDY Awards ceremony. The Mardi Gras theme carried through all the work and set the stage for the celebration.
Promotional Posters - Mad Ave Collective
In this poster series, our d2i designers found different ways to communicate the value of The Mad Ave Collective by re-purposing the logo. The work won a Silver ADDY Award at the 2017 ceremony.
On Hold Marketing - Notre Dame Academy
When we heard the student testimonials on a new NDA video, we knew right away that we wanted to incorporate them into the school's next On Hold Marketing production. Thankfully, our friends at cross-town agency Hanson Inc. allowed us to use their audio for our piece. We were moved by the young women's expressions of pride in and gratitude for NDA. We hope you will be, too.
TV and Online Video Campaign - Revere
We created a series of ten commercials for Revere, a new player in the digital communications world. The content takes a humorous approach to the needs and frustrations of small business owners. Nick Heath, a Commercial Sales Rep for Revere, said, "I think the commercials are brilliant!" Revere President Jeff Ansted liked them, too: "They're all funny, and I think they'll get people talking." Watch four of the spots below.
Giving Campaign - St. Paul's Community Center
This end-of-the-year push for support included billboards, social media, multiple press releases, and a partnership with a local radio station. Joe Habib is St. Paul’s Executive Director. He wrote, “Thank you for everything you do. This is good work. I love the Change Jar idea. It is new and keeps people talking.”

‘Global Variation in One Location,’ Parade of Nations is Saturday
HOUGHTON – With the theme of “Global Variation in One Location,” the 24th Parade of Nations takes place Saturday, and although the number of countries represented fluctuates, this year Australia joins the festivities for the first time.
Maryann Wilcox, parade committee member and elementary school parade poster project coordinator, said although relatively new, that project is popular.
“This is the third year,” she said.
Wilcox said the poster project is sponsored by Michigan Technological University Enrollment Services and Student Services. Two schools are chosen each year to make posters and this year the schools are Thomas R. Davis Elementary School in Dollar Bay, and Lake Linden-Hubbell Elementary School.
The purpose of the poster project is to get children and their parents involved with the Parade of Nations and multicultural festival.
“We’re trying to involve the entire community,” she said. “It’s been working.”
The posters are hung in Dee Stadium, where the multicultural festival will take place after the parade, Wilcox said.
Other than representing the Parade of Nations and multicultural festival, Wilcox said there are no restrictions on what the posters should look like or what size they should be.
“I tell them the sky’s the limit,” she said.
Bob Wenc, chairman for booths at the multicultural festival, said the parade will have 69 countries represented this year. It will start in front of Finlandia University’s Quincy Green on Quincy Street, then travel across the Portage Lake Lift Bridge to Shelden Avenue in Houghton. Marchers will turn down Isle Royale Street and head to the Dee Stadium.
Because Houghton has been so helpful with the event over the years, Wenc said City Manager Scott MacInnes will be the parade marshal this year.
At the Dee, Wenc said events will be from noon to 3 p.m. There will be 41 booths with food and other items.
“We have 17 different cuisines,” he said.
Wenc said the Parade of Nations multicultural festival has more food providers than larger such events around the country.
“We beat St. Louis,” he said.
For the first time at the multicultural festival, Wenc said Turkey will have a food booth. Bangladesh will be represented, also.
“You don’t see Bangladesh too many places,” he said.
At the Dee, Wenc said master of ceremonies Mark Wilcox will be awarding more than 20 gift certificates to people attending the multicultural festival. There will be performances of dance and music in the Dee, Wenc said.
Wenc said sponsors of the PON and multicultural festival keep the event going each year. This year, they provided more than $9,000 in cash, gifts or in-kind service.
“Without them, this couldn’t happen,” he said.
The parade and multicultural festival will involve Michigan Tech, Finlandia University, the governments of Hancock and Houghton, and many local businesses, Wenc said. It’s hoped the event will eventually become regional.
“We are trying to figure out ways to go beyond Houghton,” he said.

This week’s Fantastic Fiction Friday post features Andy Warhol. You may remember that I had some difficulty finding Andy Warhol books. Jeremy, who writes a great blog at Scholastic, recommended the two I will share with you today. Thanks, Jeremy!
That’s right. It’s a double-feature.
First up is Andy Warhol’s Colors by Susan Goldman Rubin. This is nice board book illustrated with the oddly colored animals that Andy Warhol created. There is a green cat, a purple horse, and rows of pink cows. The simple, rhyming text has the perfect rhythm for repeated read alouds.
Today’s second selection is Uncle Andy’s: A faabbbulous visit with Andy Warhol by James Warhola. This book would make a great read-aloud for 2nd or 3rd graders.
James Warhola is Andy Warhol’s nephew. In this story, Warhola recalls a trip he took with his large family to visit Andy Warhol in New York City. Andy’s home is full of art. Some of it reminds James of the junk his father brings home from the junk yard and James loves it all.
I recommend this book highly if you want to experience a side of Andy Warhol you don’t often get to see.

Ministry of I&B To Set Up Social Media Monitors in 716 Indian Districts
May 26th, 2018 / 4:13 PM
Image For Representational Purpose | Source: Indian Express
Right after the PMO quashed its plans of penalising journalists who were identified as purveyors of fake news, the I&B Ministry has come up with a new plan that might rob social media users of their right to privacy.
The Ministry of I&B has decided to set up social media communication hub and deploy social media monitors who would be given the responsibility of monitoring social media content across 716 districts of India. The New Indian Express reported that this has been done to identify positive stories regarding various initiatives launched by the Narendra Modi government as well as appraise the ministry for disseminating them across various social media platforms.
According to a tender put forth by I&B Ministry’s engineering arm, BECIL, the social media hubs are to collect data relating with local news coverage and events in addition with monitoring news published in local newspapers. Additionally, the document has also called for the setting up of a ‘Social Media Analytical Tool’ which is going to monitor contents across some commonly used social media platforms like Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, among others.
Much like the Aadhaar controversy that prompted the Supreme Court to declare Right To Privacy as a fundamental right, this move raises online privacy concerns as well.
However, an official of the Ministry of I&B, on conditions of anonymity told The Logical Indian, “We just want to get the feedback from people with regard to social media posts made by the different ministries of the government. We will only use what is already available in the public domain.”
The Logical Indian Take
Since laws pertaining to online data protection is not clearly defined by the Indian legal system, the process of obtaining data from users does reinforce the much-contested topic of privacy breach.
On questions of the data being used, he said, “We are not in talks with Facebook or Twitter, because without their consent, we cannot access private data.” He added that this is in no way similar to the Cambridge Analytica situation.
At a time when online data privacy has become a burning issue globally, this move might infringe upon a person’s right to privacy. What remains unknown is how the government plans to use the data that will be gathered.

A litter of stolen puppies has been reunited with their mother.
Surrey RCMP issued a news release Tuesday saying that three American bulldog puppies, which were stolen in a break-and-enter at a South Surrey residence on the 17400-block of 8 Avenue on April 10, have been located.
One of the three stolen puppies was returned to the owners on April 12, following reports in the media and subsequent information from the public, police said.
“Surrey RCMP Property Crime Target Team took conduct, and through investigation, located the remaining two puppies on April 16, 2021. The puppies were returned to their owner and then reunited with their mom,” RCMP said in the release.


Clay's Garrett Gray advanced to the 285-pound championship, beating Maple Height's Aaron Pipkins.
COLUMBUS -- Whether he wins or loses his state championship bout, Clay heavyweight Garrett Gray knows he'll be the toast of his town for days to come.
He already was looking forward to that celebrity status just moments after securing a win in Friday's semifinal round of the Division I meet at Value City Arena.
A win though would give Gray legendary status around Oregon and at Clay, as he would be the Eagles' first state wrestling champion.
PHOTO GALLERY: State Wrestling Tournament
- Division II: 2 Indians to vie for titles
- Division III: Delta duo rolls into title bouts
He put himself in position to make history when he scored an early takedown for the decisive points in a 3-2 triumph over Maple Heights' Aaron Pipkins.
With Gray in charge, Clay has pieced together a marvelous weekend, with six of its seven qualifiers securing a top eight finish. The Eagles sit in third place with 54 points and will spend the final day of the competition trying to fend off Solon (49) and Cincinnati Moeller (48.5). Lakewood St. Edward (188.5) should win its 14th title in 15 years, with Massillon Perry (86.5) collecting runner-up honors.
Gray (43-6) will be a considerable underdog against Wadsworth's two-time state champion Nick Tavanello, whom Gray lost to 7-3 in the district final last week.
"Win," Gray said. "Just win. That's all I have set in my mind."
Gray's teammate, Mike Screptock, dropped his 126-pound semifinal bout, 4-1, to Lewis Center Olentangy's Trevor Fiorucci.
St. John's Jesuit's Ted Schoen (195) also lost in the same round, falling 6-3 to Massillon Perry's JoJo Tayse.
Grapplers in position to place third through sixth Saturday morning are Clay's Screptock, Jacob Conine (132), and Angelo Amenta (138), along with Schoen, and Perrysburg's Luke Boff (182).
Competing for seventh will be Clay's Jared Davis (106) and Richie Screptock (113), and Perrysburg's Ryan Roth (138).
Gray's nerves "were jumping" in the hotel room as he prepared for the biggest match of his life.
They didn't subside any as he stepped onto the mat against a much larger Pipkins. A first-period takedown calmed Gray, and he was never in peril of losing the bout from that point forward.
"After I got that first takedown I was set, I was in my zone, I knew what I was doing, and I knew I wouldn't lose," he said.
Gray advanced to the semifinals with a fall of Loveland's Andrew Allen in the morning session.
Moments earlier, Amenta's thoughts of winning a title vanished in a 10-4 loss to Twinsburg's Mike Labry.
Amenta, a senior, inexplicably slipped on the mat in the first period to allow Labry to go up 4-1.
"That might as well be punching your ticket to the [consolation bracket]," Amenta said.
Amenta reacted by crying for the first time in years, he said, but he chose to shake away his sorrows -- in part -- to help his team remain in the top five.
He rebounded, scoring a late takedown and two near fall points to top Powell Olentangy Liberty's Jake Ryan, 5-2.
"It would have been easy to give up but our team's in the race," Amenta said. "I've never been in that position before, with our team in the top five, fighting for top three.
"That was an extra boost to get me out of my funk this morning."
Mike Screptock will try to emulate Amenta's resiliency. Screptock was unable to generate any offense in his loss to Fiorucci, a four-time state place winner.
Skilled in the top position, Screptock allowed a reversal in the third period before he had much of a chance to rack up points.
"Probably needed to attack more on my feet," he said. "He felt stronger than me, I guess. I could have wrestled a lot better."

Autumn Shredded Brussels Sprouts Apple Salad
Autumn Shredded Brussels Sprouts Apple Salad is a crispy, crunchy, healthy salad loaded with fresh fall flavors. Finely shredded raw brussels sprouts, crisp juicy apples, sweet chewy dried cranberries, pecans and feta cheese all tossed together and then dressed in an easy delicious poppyseed dressing for the perfect flavor combination.
AUTUMN SHREDDED BRUSSELS SPROUTS APPLE SALAD:
Are you team Brussels sprouts? It’s seems that people either love them or hate them. I’m definitely in the LOVE category and I always have been. Even if you’re not a fan of cooked Brussels, you may really like this salad. My kiddos don’t care for them… except shredded in salads. We can’t get enough and even enjoyed this two nights in a row last week. It’s very filling and has the most wonderful flavors and textures. I’m pretty sure, it’s going to steal the show at your Thanksgiving dinner table.
HOW TO SHRED BRUSSELS SPROUTS:
While many grocery stores sell shredded Brussels sprouts, I prefer to shred them at home for salads. I just find they’re fresher, taste better and you can slice them very, very thin! I’ve actually washed and shredded ahead of time and kept them in baggie in the fridge for up to a week and they keep perfectly.
They’re very simple to shred and there is no need to remove the core.
- Cut off the small stem end. Peel back any tough outer leaves from the sprouts then very thinly shred with a sharp knife. I’ve used the slicing disc on my food processor to thinly slice Brussels sprouts before, but a sharp knife is the best way to finely shred vs slice.
- Once sliced, place sprouts in a large bowl of cold water to wash. Drain well (I use my salad spinner).
- Use immediately or place in a baggie and store up to one week.
Not only is this salad great for everyday dinner or lunch, and the holidays, but it’s perfect to bring to a potluck. Since the shredded Brussels sprouts are heartier than lettuce, they stand up to being dressed much longer. Whenever and however you serve it – enjoy!

I made a shredded brussels sprouts salad on repeat last fall; it held up so well for leftover lunches!! Love all the different textures in this salad 🙂
Such a beautiful salad for the coming season, Kim! I love the apple tossed in with the Brussels Sprouts. I need to try that next time!
I have never thought to make a salad with raw sprouts but as they’re just like mini cabbages I can see how this would work. Love the addition of apple and feta, putting this on my to make list!
Believe it or not, I have a big bag of Brussels sprouts in the fridge that I had planned to roast, but really haven’t felt like eating. I think I’ll have to make this instead cause I’m suddenly craving them again!
This just screams fall! Pinned!
I love a sprout salad. So good with some apple and cranberries in it.
This salad sounds so delicious! I discovered shredded Brussel’s sprouts a couple years ago and haven’t looked back since. It’s the best way to eat them in my opinion 🙂
This recipe sounds so light and refreshing but also full of flavor. I’m adding this to my brunch ideas for my next gathering.
oh I just bought a bag of fresh brussels this sounds wonderful I love the thought of making a salad with these!
Love brussels sprouts…I like to refer to them as ‘little cabbages’. This salad looks so good and full of flavour and texture. I bet it’s delicious on it’s own or even on top of tacos.
This recipe s perfect timing! I have been wanting to use Brussels as the base for a salad – and all my favs are in this one – yum!

SrI: SrImathE SatakOpAya nama: SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama: SrImath varavaramunayE nama:
nāsato vidyate bhāvo
nābhāvo vidyate sataḥ
ubhayor api dṛṣṭo ’ntas
tv anayos tattva-darśibhiḥ
To the non-constant (asat=matter) fixity is not; to the constant (sat=spirit) non-fixity is not. To Truth-Seers are known, the essential natures of both.[1. Rāmānuja tells us that this verse has no allusion to the Sathkārya-vāda of the Sānkhyās (vide, Sānkhya Sūtra I-78). Yogi Pārthasārathi writes: ‘What is here taught is, not the inconvertibility of nothing into a thing, but the inconvertibility of one kind of thing or category (viz., the ever mutable matter) into another kind of thing or category (viz., the ever immutable soul). …]
Of that which is ‘asat’, or body, it cannot be predicated that it is ‘sat’. Of that which is ‘sat’ or spirit, it cannot be predicated that it is ‘asat’. To Seers of truth (or Sages), the ultimate natures (anta) of both these postulates are matters of their definite apprehension (or direct perceptual matters of observation)[2. This means that the essential or substantial natures of these super-sensuous categories are demonstrably or by observation, known to Sages. They are as certain knowledge to them as sense-knowledge to us.].
Anta is literally the ‘end’. Here it means the ‘end’ of proof, or the conclusive end of a thing indicated. (So that the ‘end’ of sat and asat means their ultimate or essential natures).
The conclusion or certitude arrived at by Sages in this matter is that the nature of the non-sentient ‘body’, is ‘asat’ only (=inconstancy), and that the nature of the sentient ‘atma’ is ‘sat’ only (=constancy). Asat is thus that which is of the perishable character, and sat that which is of the imperishable character. Says Bhagavān Parāśara:
‘O Twice-born (dvija)! There is therefore nothing, even a little, – that, in the number of things, can at any time be said to be (sat) with the exception of the intelligent (vijñāna-ātmā)[3. Ibid; II-12, 45.].’
‘(What has been told thee by me) is that jñāna (=ātmā) is that which is (truth=satyam); everything else is that which is not (asatyam)[4. Ibid; II-14, 24.].’
‘That which is indestructible is admitted by the wise to be the highest Truth (paramārtha). But that which is derived by means of destructible things is doubtless destructible.’[5. IBid; II-14, 24.]
‘What would you call that, O King!, thing?, which by changes, etc., effected by time, receives not different signs (names)?, what is that?’[6. IBid; II-13, 100.]. And so on.
In Gita itself it is affirmed:
‘These bodies have endings etc.,” (ii-18)
‘But as for that, know it is indestructible.’ (ii-17)
Hence it is clear that what are indicated by ‘satva’ and ‘a-satva‘) are these (viz., ātmā and body).
The context does not here admit of this verse having any reference to what is known as the satkārya-vāda. For, the occasion indeed is one when Kṛishṇa has to explain to Arjuna – who is laboring under the delusion of not knowing the distinction between the natures of body and ātmā, – the perishability and the imperishability of these two (categories), in order to dispel that delusion.
It is to show this that the verse: ‘As respects bodies or as respects ātmās etc. (ii-11)’ was begun. And it is to further elaborate the same (subject) that verses:
‘But know that to be indestructible etc.’ (ii-17),
‘These bodies have endings etc.,’ (ii-18),
But how is ātmā’s (or the soul’s) indestructibility known? This verse[7. Next verse 2.17.] tells us:

Chelsea Football Club has launched a unique offering to help support local businesses get back on their feet, by inviting small companies with a London postcode to apply for free advertising space on matchdays. Featuring inventory typically available only to major partners, the successful applicants will benefit from a digital campaign headlined by a branded story on the club’s own Instagram channel, published to 25.5million followers. The opportunity is open to businesses with fewer than 50 employees to apply before the deadline of Friday 26th March.
Click HERE to register at www.chelseafc.com
The initiative was announced as an extension to Chelsea FC’s new ‘Proud of London’ campaign, launched on 10th March as the club marked its 116th anniversary. The campaign was kicked off by former Blues midfielder and life-long supporter Joe Cole, who narrated and starred in a short film celebrating real Londoners who have shown incredible resilience, creativity and entrepreneurship during such a testing year.
The campaign seeks to tap into Chelsea FC’s vast global digital community, offering small local businesses the chance to gain exposure on a scale like never before. In addition to the Instagram story, chosen businesses will feature in half-time and full-time posts on Chelsea FC matchdays.
Businesses with fewer than 50 employees and a website are invited to apply, with the successful applicants chosen by Chelsea FC based on the efforts they have taken during the pandemic to launch, sustain or grow.

Needs and Uses: The 2020 Census New Construction Program is one of the seven voluntary geographic partnership programs that collect geographic boundaries and residential addresses to update the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File/Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing database. In order to deliver questionnaires, locate residences, and tabulate statistics by localities, the Census Bureau must have accurate addresses and boundaries. The Census Bureau also uses its geographic database to link demographic data from surveys and the decennial census to locations and areas, such as cities, congressional and legislative districts, and counties.
The census block is the geographic building block for all Census Bureau geographic boundaries. Geographic programs such as the Redistricting Data Program update the boundaries of census blocks. The addresses collected in the 2020 Local Update of Census Addresses Operation (LUCA), the New Construction Program, and other geocoding processes place households in a specific census block.
While the geographic programs differ in requirements, time frame, and participants, the New Construction Program and the other geographic programs all follow the same basic process:
1. The Census Bureau invites eligible participants to the program.
2. If they elect to participate in the program, participants receive program materials, in this case, respondent guides, address templates, spatial data in PDF or shapefile format, and/or free customized mapping software.
3. Participants review the materials and submit their addresses in the Census Bureau's predefined format.
4. The Census Bureau updates its address list with updates from participants.
5. The Census Bureau uses its address list to conduct the 2020 Census and tabulate statistics.
The purpose of the New Construction Program is to account for new housing units, group quarters (GQs), and transitory locations for which construction is in progress during or after March 1, 2018
and completion is expected by Census Day, April 1, 2020. The Census Bureau collects city-style addresses for the newly built housing units, GQs, and transitory locations in blocks where the Census Bureau plans to mail the 2020 Census questionnaires and households are expected to use a self-response mode to complete the census.
The Census Bureau conducts LUCA and the New Construction Program as successive partnership operations to assure the completeness and accuracy of the Census Bureau's address list. These operations allow participating governments the opportunity to provide input to improve the Census Bureau's address list and to ensure accurate and complete enumeration of their communities.
LUCA and the New Construction Program are complementary, however, there is no dependency on either program for participation in the other.
- LUCA participants who agree to receive the address list for their jurisdiction receive Title 13 protected materials. Participants review the address list and submit their validated or revised address list to the Census Bureau between spring and summer 2018.
- The Census Bureau processes and validates the LUCA updates using a combination of independent address sources, such as the United States Postal Service's list of delivery addresses or the 2020 Census Address Canvassing operation. Upon completion of the LUCA address validations by April of 2019, the Census Bureau provides address-level feedback to partners, allowing them to appeal any determination made by the Census Bureau to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) LUCA Appeals Office.
- In April 2019, the Census Bureau invites tribal, state, and local governments to designate a New Construction liaison to participate in the program. The Census Bureau will publish the list of eligible governments on the New Construction Program website by fall 2018. Eligible governments have addresses in areas of the country where the Census Bureau plans for a self-response enumeration strategy. The addresses in these areas are primarily city-style and mailable formats. The Census Bureau confines the scope of the New Construction Program to the submission of addresses for newly constructed living quarters that began or will begin construction in the year leading up to the census. Between September and October 2019,
tribal, state, and local governments identify addresses for housing units, GQs, and transitory locations for which construction is in progress during or after March 1, 2018 and that are expected to be closed to the elements (final roof, windows, and doors) and therefore potentially inhabitable by Census Day, April 1, 2020. No other updates, including streets or boundaries, will be accepted.
Through the New Construction Program, the Census Bureau improves the accuracy and completeness of the address list used to conduct the 2020 Census by utilizing the local knowledge of tribal, state, and local governments. The Census Address List Improvement Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103-430) strengthened the Census Bureau's partnership capabilities with participating governments by expanding the methods the Census Bureau uses to collect address information from participants.
The New Construction Program does not provide Title 13 protected addresses to participants, however, when participants submit address data for new housing to be included in the 2020 Census, the Census Bureau will protect the submitted data under Title 13, U.S.C. Section 9, which provides for the confidential treatment of census-related information, including individual address and structure coordinates. Participation in the New Construction Program is voluntary.
The New Construction Program includes four phases:
1. New Construction Program Invitation Phase.Start Printed Page 50334
2. New Construction Program Participant Review Materials.
3. New Construction Program Address Updates.
New Construction Program Invitation Phase
The Census Bureau will mail the New Construction Program invitation letter and registration form in April 2019 to approximately 32,000 eligible participants that include federally recognized American Indian tribal governments with reservations and/or off-reservation trust lands, states, and local governments. Based on the 2010 Census New Construction Program, the Census Bureau estimates 6,550 out of the 32,000 invited governments will participate. To participate, interested governments must designate a New Construction liaison and respond to the invitation package by completing and returning the registration form to the Census Bureau by July 19, 2019. Participants must also identify the format of the maps or spatial data that they wish to receive from the Census Bureau.
The Census Bureau collects the registration form from the government that wants to participate in the program and/or the reasons for non participation from those who cannot participate. Additionally, the Census Bureau collects the contact information of the official responding to the New Construction invitation and the person designated as the liaison. To prepare and submit their list of addresses, the New Construction Program liaisons can opt to receive:
- The Geographic Update Partnership Software (GUPS) and/or Census Bureau spatial data (downloadable or on CD/DVD).
- Reference PDF maps on CD/DVD.
Participants may also use their own software to create a computer-readable list of addresses in the prescribed format. Participants use the Census Bureau provided maps or spatial data as a reference for assigning census tract and block codes (geocodes) for each submitted address. The estimated time burden for the invitation stage is one hour per participant.
New Construction Program Participant Review Materials
In September 2019, the Census Bureau will deliver review materials to registered governments. New Construction liaisons will receive the materials in the format that they selected on the registration form. Participating governments are required to submit full address data for qualifying structures, including individual unit numbers for multiunit structures (e.g., Apt. 1, Apt. 2, Unit 1, and Unit 2), and geographic information such as the census tract and block numbers, or geographic coordinates.
The typical New Construction Program Participant Review Materials package contains the following:
- Cover Letter.
- Address List Template.
- GUPS Quick Start Guide.
- Digital Quick Start Guide.
- GUPS Digital Respondent Guide.
- Digital Respondent Guide.
- Read-me.txt file for GUPS.
- Read-me.txt file for Digital.
- Partnership Shapefiles.
Participants must submit their New Construction Program address list to the Census Bureau within 45 calendar days of receipt of the New Construction Program review materials. The New Construction Program addresses must be returned in the Census Bureau's predefined format, and each address must be geocoded or assigned to the census tract and block in which it is located as shown on the New Construction Program PDF or digital (shapefile) maps. This stage occurs in September 2019. The average estimated time burden to review, add, and submit the New Construction Program address list to the Census Bureau is 47 hours per participant.
New Construction Program Address Updates
From September through November 2019, the Census Bureau processes all files received from participants. Files that are submitted in the proper format and contain addresses with complete geocoding data are compared with the Census Bureau's census address list, extracted from the Master Address File. The Census Bureau verifies whether the addresses received were already in the Master Address File and mails decennial census forms to any participant-supplied addresses that were not in the census address list. The census enumeration process determines the final housing unit status and population for each unit.
The Census Bureau provides a closeout email to governments that registered to participate and provided updates. Participating governments will not receive detailed feedback from the Census Bureau. In addition, the Census Bureau sends a thank you email or letter to governments that provided updates after the deadline. This documentation notifies them of the receipt of their submission but also informs the governments that the Census Bureau cannot use the submission for the New Construction Program. Closeout occurs between December 2019 and January 2020.
Affected Public: Tribal, state, and local governments.
Frequency: Once a decade.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.

Cheers. The original cast. I loved this show and everyone can sing the themesong. That little piano intro is famous. Sam and Diane fought like cats and dogs but when they fell in love, everything went to pot and Shelly left the show. The coach died and Woody came onto the scene. Those characters are ingrained into our heads and so beloved that Fraiser was spun off and had many seasons of success.
Cheers. The thing I always loved about this show, besides everything, was when they would all shout "NORM!" when he would come through the door and then you'd wait just a few seconds, cuz you knew it was coming...Diane would ALWAYS follow up with a "Norman!" Listen for it next time. :)

"Base design" seems to be the key phrase. The new blocks are apparently idealized re-imaginings based on what the current HJ team thinks the Raiders hat SHOULD look like. But Jack was using new molds cast off the original blocks, and took those blocks with him when he left HJ.

Would you travel halfway across the world to see a piece of art? What if it was in the middle of the desert – would it be worth the journey? Here’s an incredible sculpture that was built in 1968 in Israel’s Negev desert by artist Dani Karavan. It’s a pioneering piece of environmental art, 10,000 square meters in size.
Located near Beersheva, the Negev Monument is constructed from grey concrete, and interacts strikingly with environmental elements like wind and sun. At the time he created it, Karavan was designing stage sets for dance companies. Since then, he has been commissioned to create environmental sculptures all over the world.
Have you seen any of Karavan’s work? What do you think of it? Have you visited the Negev Monument? Write and let us know about your experience.

Visibility III / V
Clearly visible morning clouds. No clouds were visible before two, but the cloud band rose northeast after three. By dawn the morning, a few lower clouds were already red, but the thickest parts of the ribbon were still separating when you knew where to look. The cloud disappeared from view around four. The images have been pressed somewhat with the photar’s ACR, more of the later image, which appears as a halo in the silhouette of the trees. Photos taken at 3.32 and 3.39.


Rayland Baxter (Photo courtesy Red Light Management)
Second-generation musician Rayland Baxter had a band booked to open for him recently at The Hamilton Live in DC, where he was touring behind his new album, If I Were A Butterfly. However, the drummer’s wife went into labor, so, naturally, he went to be with her, and the band without a drummer, bowed out of the gig.
Instead, Rayland opened the show himself with a solo acoustic set.
Before he settled into the songs at The Hamilton Live on Nov. 19, Rayland spoke at some length about the last few years. When the Covid pandemic shut things down, he had just left the converted rubber band factory that was serving as his studio, having mostly finished recording his latest LP. He moved to the studio, in Kentucky, in late 2019, and wrote over 100 songs in the next few months. But when he left in March, he wasn’t quite finished, and he spent the lockdown period reworking much of the material. That process of making “a record with no time limit,” he said, “took 10 years off my life.”
It’s been a rough period for Baxter. The studio was created as a sort of a memorial to two close friends who passed away in 2018. In May 2020, his father, Bucky, passed away. His father came by that nickname because, in the ’70s, “he had a giant Afro and everyone called him ‘Buckwheat.'” (The new LP contains the song “Buckwheat.”) A master of the pedal steel guitar, Bucky played with Bob Dylan and Steve Earle. An interesting comparison for Baxter is Patterson Hood of the Drive-By Truckers, another singer-songwriter whose father, bassist David Hood, played in the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section. Both Hood and Baxter have been characterized as inhabiting a space between alt-country and rock.
Watch Rayland Baxter perform “Rubberband Man” and “Buckwheat” live for Lightning 100 on YouTube:
Since he lost his father, Rayland has found comfort in being visited by him in dreams. Rayland is an interesting character; he’s a mystic and a poet, but he didn’t originally plan to pursue music. He left the University of Maryland, where he played on the lacrosse team, 2 credits short of graduation. You can tell he was an athlete by looking at him; he has a tall, long frame, and he seems to keep himself in fairly good shape.
Rayland’s opening solo set consisted of older material, beginning with “The Mountain Song.” During the next song, “Olivia,” he stopped playing his guitar and continued to sing a capella while the audience snapped their fingers in rhythm. Between songs, he said “I get to be on the edge, too. You all don’t know what’s coming, and neither do I.”
He continued with “Willy’s Song” and “Freakin’ Me Out.” “These songs began in a bedroom somewhere,” he said, and he welcomed requests from the crowd. Someone asked for “Strange American Dream” — he said was planning to play it with the full band, but he did solo too, to show the difference between the two versions.
After “Mother, Mother” he brought out Barney Cortes from his band, introducing him as a singer-songwriter in his own right. Barney is a resident of Philadelphia, about which he composted “Shit River.” Rayland and Barney sang it together, then left the stage for an intermission before the full band came out.
The full band set, as Rayland had promised, featured new material, beginning with “If I Were A Butterfly.” He also performed “Billy Goat,” “Rubberband Man,” and “Graffiti Street.” For “Good Friend,” his girlfriend joined on stage in a duet. He covered Mac Miller’s “Small Words,” and other songs included “Mr. Rodriguez,” “Angeline,” “Yellow Eyes,” “Amelia Baker,” “Sandra Monica,” and “Hey Larocco.” Introducing “Bad Things,” he said, “We’ve all done some bad things.” Amen, brother. The show concluded with “Casanova.”
There was a nice contrast here between the intimacy of the opening solo acoustic set and the louder, fuller band. Both ways, the craftsmanship of Baxter’s songs was undeniable, and there was a lot of heart and soul expressed throughout the evening.

And, Movies Under the Stars is one of those activities!

This option gives Floridians BIG savings and flexibility when it comes to visiting Disney World parks on non-consecutive days. Now, that offer is BACK!
Things are constantly changing at Disney World!
Just this month, we saw some restaurants reopen, other spots get new menu items, and a change in Boarding Group distribution times announced for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. December is almost over, but January will bring some even BIGGER changes at Walt Disney World. If you’re planning a trip to Disney World for January 2021, here are the 5 things that will be different there next month.
Although firework shows are currently suspended at Disney World, we’ve seen fireworks and flares return in a modified and small way in the holiday projections in Magic Kingdom!
We’ve also seen a new fireworks barge for Harmonious brought out in EPCOT, and some firework testing done about a month ago. Now, Disney has announced that MORE firework testing will be soon taking place!
As the song says, “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!” And that’s certainly true in Walt Disney World! Here at the DFB, we’ve been spending the season making a list — and checking it twice! — of ALL of the specialty snacks and sips for the 2020 Holiday Season in Walt Disney World!
Even better… we’ve sipped and snacked on them all to bring you photos and REVIEWS of each and every one. And we’ve compiled them all in one place so you can easily get the whole scoop on all of the Season’s Eatings in Disney World! [Read more…]
It’s no secret that Disney World is constantly changing.
Between decor, new attractions, and construction, Disney continually adds magic to its parks. Since 2020 was a year full of closures and a worldwide pandemic, Disney has had to adapt and make changes. But, what are the biggest changes as we head into the year 2021? Let’s find out!
Last week, Disney announced that it would lay off 28,000 Cast Members in the Parks, Experiences, and Products division.
As we started to get more details about the situation, we realized that many of these lay-offs would affect Cast Members at Disney World in Florida.
Thankfully, the Halloween fun has only just begun and more spooky snacks are available all over Disney World.
