If the water, wharf and picturesque scenery isn't enough to visit the cute town of Steveston in Richmond, the Steveston Farmers and Artisans Market certainly is.
Now in its sixth year, the Steveston Farmers and Artisans Market is a perfect (rain or shine) Sunday activity during the summer. The market runs the first and third Sunday of every month and it's located right beside the Gulf of Georgia Cannery and stretches around the property. Not only is it the chance to support local businesses, you buy with the confidence knowing the product is fresh or handmade from the vendor selling it.
With over 40 vendors selling everything from fresh produce to one-of-a-kind belts, there is truly something for everyone. There were however, a few vendors in particular that got my attention.
The Farm House
Cheese, fresh wonderful cheese! The Farm House produces their cheese in Agassiz. Not only do their cows and goats get to munch on the luscious fields in the Fraser Valley, their milk comes from a small herd of Guernsey and Brown Swiss cows. These are ancient breeds whose milk has a higher percentage of beta carotene and A2 protein than other domestic breeds. Their truck visits a number of markets around the city throughout the summer, with Steveston being on their route.
Having lived in Montreal for a number of years, I'm always on the lookout for cheese curds. A lot of places claim to have cheese curds, but to know if it's fresh (and good), it has to pass the "Squeak" test. That's right: when you bite into fresh cheese curd, it should be springy and have a little squeak to it. When the vendor told me the cheese had been made two days earlier, I knew I had to give it a try. I'm happy to report that it passed the test with flying colours.

Solodko Bakery
I'm a sucker for anything with poppy seeds. When I passed the Solodko Bakery, it reminded me of the Jewish pastry called Hamentaschen which are those triangular-shaped baked goods that are filled with a number of different fruits, including poppy seeds. My curiosity had me, so I had to inquire what I was looking at. I was informed that Solodko means "sweet" in Ukrainian. Pirozhki is a word for individual-size baked buns which can be filled with any variety of fillings, both sweet and savoury.
The owners came to British Columbia from Ukraine in 2012 and brought their time-tested and family recipes with them. I opted for the apple and poppy seed pirozhki, which was loaded with fresh chunks of apple and poppy seeds. The pastry itself was soft, buttery and perfect.
Be sure to check out their Facebook page to find out where they'll be next as they continue to spread Ukrainian, Polish and other Slavic goodies around Vancouver.

Four Winds Brewing Co.
With it being after 12pm and needing something to wash down my cheese curds and pirozhki, Four Winds Brewing Co. was calling out to me. Located in Delta, Four Winds just recently celebrated their one year anniversary. On this particular day, they were sampling their Pale Ale and Saison. Of course I had to try both, but I was more interested in sampling the Saison as I had been hearing more about that particular kind of beer. Joe Wiebe (aka The Thirsty Writer) and a craft beer expert explains what a Saison is,
The Saison. Originating in Wallonia, a French-speaking region of Belgium, Saison ales are also called "Farmhouse Ales" because they were brewed by farmers in the winter, re-fermented in barrels and then served to the field workers or "saisoniers" in the Summer.
I was particular intrigued because as a summer ale, it's meant to be refreshing, dry and fruity. I'm happy to announce my first Saison was a success. The Saison from Four Winds had a bit of spice and sweetness to it. It wasn't overly hoppy and I could have one (or three) while sitting on a patio or by the water on a warm summer day.

Steveston Farmers and Artisans Market
Vancouver to Steveston is no more than a 30 minute drive. Although it's become a popular summer destination for tourists and locals alike, the town continues to maintain its quaint and unique charm. Between the market, walking along the wharf, the allure of fish & chips and snacking on local treats, it makes for the perfect day.
The market runs the first and third Sunday until September 21st.

Governing Hong Kong: Administrative Officers from the 19th Century to the Handover to China, 1862-1997
I. B. Tauris, 2007年12月15日 - 240 頁
Hong Kong is at the heart of modern China's position as a regional -- and potential world -- superpower. In this important and original history of the region, Steve Tsang argues that its current prosperity is a direct by-product of the British administrators who ran the place as a colony before the handover in 1997. The British administration of Hong Kong uniquely derived its practices from the best traditions of Imperial Chinese government and its philosophical, Confucian basis. It stressed efficiency, honesty, fairness, benevolent paternalism and individual freedom. The result was a hugely successful colony, especially in industry and finance, and it remains so today with its new status of Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. This definitive history of the colorful individuals who administered the colony on behalf of the British government sheds light on two empires inextricably linked in nature and philosophy of government.

Friday Favs
Friday, October 21, 2016 • Friday
It's Friday Kids! I am so ready for a weekend filled with packing and getting everything set to close. This time next week we will be home owners again. Or as my hubby calls it Mortgage Owners! Yay! So here we go with another Friday Favs.
1. I am so excited. Today marks day one of my 3rd and final Trimester. This girl is getting excited to meet our little girl. I just know that she will be perfect and complete our little family. Now we just have to get ready for her arrival.
2. I need this like coffee set more than words can explain. I have dreamed about in our next house having a coffee bar set up where people can grab a awesome cup of coffee and enjoy the day. I am a believer that coffee can make your day better.
3. Baby Girl's glider came in yesterday and I am so excited to get it picked up from the store next week. We have been waiting about seven weeks for it to get here and man did that time drag by. Now we just have to pick out the personal touches on her room and it will come together.
4. Bath & Body Works have my favorite three wick candles on sale for 12.50 and currently they are running a promotion for 25% off your order. I will be stocking up on some wonderful fall scents to fill my house for the holidays. My forever holiday favorite will always be Leaves....
5. My favorite booties of all time are currently on sale at Nordstrom. I am hoping to swing these in a different color this year. They are 20% off and free shipping. Double score. These are the Toms Desert Wedge. They are so comfortable and feel like you are walking on clouds all day! I love them so much. I have them in black but think that I may need them in Taupe too.
So I hope everyone has a great weekend. Enjoy the fall weather in the South while it last.

As we have seen, medium and high frequency AC currents have been in use since the 1930s. This led to the development of monopolar and bipolar radio frequency currents with diverse applications in aesthetics.
In this page we will focus our attention on two particular methods used in aesthetics:
→ Electrofulguration (the same principle used in electro-coagulation for medical use) and
→ Electrodessication
In the above picture, we can clearly see the difference between Electrodesiccation on the left and Electrofulguration on the right. There are many devices on the marketplace which operate in one or both modes. The effects of electrofulguration are very superficial compared with the carbonization effects of electrodesiccation (also known as dehydration, ablation or sublimation).
Effects produced by electrodesiccation are seen in the picture (the dehydration effects spread much deeper than Electrofulguration). For this reason electrofulguration is used for superficial skin treatments in aesthetics as it provides a greater degree of accuracy than electrodesiccation.
The difference in equipment operation between electrofulguration and electrodesiccation mode is very well-known as they have been used for many years in this context. So, what is the difference in configuration of these devices which allows either electrofulguration or electrodesiccation?
The answer is: operating frequency, voltage, and the power levels are usually the same or similar in both configurations. However, the main difference between the two types of configurations is the way that current flows through the body. Also the difference stands on the fact that in electrodesiccation the electrode is either in direct contact with the skin or even inserted inside the skin (for permanent epilation).
Electrofulguration configuration.
When the equipment is set up in electrofulguration mode the electricity flows from the tip of the electrode through the body (which at medium/high frequency reacts as a Faraday cage) down to earth, and a return pad is not usually needed. Because the current flows superficially to earth, the result is a very superficial carbonization of the superficial part of the skin (epidermis), lesion or benign mole.
Due to this superficial carbonization effects and precision, electrofulguration has been also used for many years in order to stop minor bleeding in medical applications, during surgery.
Electrodessication configuration.
In Electrodesiccation a return pad is used in order to close the current flow back into the equipment. In this case, the current flows from the needle/electrode, through the body, into the return pad in a loop fashion (as seen above). As a result of this electric current closed path, the dehydration effects are far more effective and the ablation effects spread much deeper into the skin than the electrofulguration mode (in which the current simply flows to earth). Because the dehydration effects of electrodesiccation penetrate deeper into the skin, in aesthetics electrodesiccation configurations are mainly used for red vein coagulation/removal and permanent epilation. This is because when the return pad is in use, the current flows deeper inside the dermis and this is the configuration normally used for the cauterization of small thread veins or for permanent epilation (permanent hair removal).
So to recap, when the equipment is required to function in electrofulguration mode the return pad is not needed, whereas it is used in Electrodesiccation.
Because of its higher degree of precision in tissue carbonisation, electrofulguration is used in aesthetics for:
→ Benign moles and benign skin lesions removal in general.
→ Tattoo removal.
→ Permanent Makeup removal.
→ Rownspots removal.
→ Skin tightening …,and more besides.
The uses Uses of ElectroDesication (When the Equipment configured with a return pad) are usually:
→ Permanent epilation.
→ Red vein coagulation for aesthetic reasons.
→ Benign skin lesions removal in General.

Some say adaptive design is superior.
Because adaptive sites are tailored to whatever device the consumer is using they put the customer first, rather than force fitting a website to a device as an afterthought.
Mobile devices are taking over, with the majority of media consumption in North America and Europe already taking place on mobile. Building specifically for mobile makes sense.
Some of the largest, most respected companies in the world are using adaptive websites. Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Apple and Facebook all have mobile optimized sites.
There is some evidence that mobile optimized transactional websites perform better. A purchase flow designed for the specific device may result in a more seamless user experience.
Responsive websites can be limiting. Web designers are sometimes forced to go with a simpler design that will work well on mobile devices, at the expense of a richer desktop experience.
Many feel responsive design is the way to go.
Responsive web design ensures users will have a smooth, consistent experience no matter what device they are using to access your site. This helps reinforce your brand.
The way people use mobile phones is changing. It was once assumed a consumer using a mobile phone was on the go. Now, we know people use their phones constantly, often at home.
The exponential growth of mobile devices makes it too difficult to design unique experiences for each device. Right now, about 80% of the mobile market consists of 156 different devices.
By building a responsive website, you future-proof your website at the start. It may take more work upfront to design, build and test, but you avoid playing catch-up as technology changes.
Business reporting and analytics, as well as back-end integration, are easier with responsive design—there's no need to combine data from or synchronize across multiple sites.

Tuvalu's national parliament is to be dissolved tomorrow as it prepares for national elections on the 16th September.
The Pacnews agency reports Prime Minister Apisai Ielemia will lead a caretaker government for a month as candidates go into campaign mode for the 15 seats in parliament.
Registration for the poll begins on the 28th August.
A number of senior government officials have resigned from government to contest the elections.
Among them is former Tuvaluan diplomat and climate change negotiator, Enele Sopoanga.
He is currently the secretary for transport.
Last week, Mr Ielemia did not attend the annual Pacific Islands summit Vanuatu, saying he was preparing for the elections.

That moment during Streets…/
We've all felt the goosebumps – that inexplicable moment during Where The Streets Have No Name, where the U2 experience becomes transcendent, and you wish that every single person you've ever met in your life who "hates U2″ was there to witness.
The glorious flash of light, the mass arm waving and joyous response from a crowd of believers. It's the closest I've come to seeing God, and I hope that I actually caught it on video in Seattle. Enjoy.
Edge's guitar rings particularly uniquely during this version – not sure if it's something new or not, or it was just some magical quirk in his delay that night, but it was special.

Richard Saul Wurman, founder, creator of TED is about to reinvent the conference experience all over again
Warren Berger has done an excellent write-up on how Wurman aims to stage a series of improvisational one-to-one conversations, held in front of a small invitation-only audience and then disseminated via a high-quality app.
Ted replicates, what has become all too common in our field of business, that is to give speeches with help of powerpoint slides instead of engaging clients, partners and third parties in a conversation.
Here's what the new conference won't have:
speeches, slide shows, or tickets.
Why fix it if it ain't broken?
An overused question no longer applicable in this and so many other cases. Now that the web sheds light on our shortcomings relentlessly with all its cruelty, we all know we can and must do better.
In 2002, Wurman sold most of the TED (founded 1984) rights to Chris Anderson's Sapling Foundation and is no longer affiliated with TED.
Early support was granted by R/GA's Bob Greenberg und @radical.media's Jon Kamen. I have caught some glimps on R/GA's development in the late 80s and am glad to now be witnessing a new development which will have positive and strong influence on the dynamics of today's business practices.
Wurman's influence on the development and spread of emerging technologies is vastly underrated. Politics and businesses can learn a big deal even now at this early stage from Wurman's systematic approach to changing the dynamics.

Anfa Place
Casablanca, Morocco | 2006-2007
Located near Casablanca's affluent district of Anfa, this 90,000 square metre mixed-use development takes advantage of its magnificent natural setting on Morocco's Atlantic coast to create a new meeting point and destination for the city with places to live, offices, shops, cafes, leisure facilities and a five-star hotel.
The landscape concept contrasts the two prevalent historic influences, originating from both land and sea. The public spaces are carved into the cliff-side beneath the existing road, drawing visitors and residents towards the sea with a series of stepped terraces. An elevated promenade leads to a plaza with cafes, restaurants and bars and seeks to break down the barrier that previously existed between the upper level road and the lower level beach. The fluid nature of the water and sand at beach level with fluid planting interspersed with water is contrasted with the solidity and stability of the cliff in our material and plant choice. The design responds to Morocco's architectural vernacular with durable local materials used for the upper level pedestrian areas whilst temporary structures which change with the seasons and the time of day are located on the lower levels along the beachfront.
The residential buildings use local materials and construction techniques. In courtyards and private gardens, trees and pergola structures to offer natural shade and shelter from sea breezes. Tree and shrub planting is more prevalent toward the land-side area of the site, on the upper public levels. A palette of drought tolerant plants creates a colourful tapestry across the rooftops of the residential units with the deep blue background of the sea on the horizon.

Fires in California
High Resolution
Last update: November 22nd, 2019 at 11:00 am
The first major wildfires of the season in California got underway in the first week of summer 2008 when thunderstorms brought lightning but little rain to drought-stricken forests and chaparral in the state. The fires continued to rage in early July. This natural-color image was captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite on July 2, 2008, and it shows the location of actively burning fires marked in red. The highest concentration of fires is in Northern California, where the National Interagency Fire Center reported that 68 uncontained large fires were burning as of July 3. Meanwhile, Southern California was battling the state's two largest blazes: the Indians Fire and the Basin Complex Fire, which is the largest fire in the lower half of this image.

In the supplemental police report located over at The Smoking Gun, Kurt Busch's girlfriend (that he called his wife during the incident) claimed she was: "drunk and bitching at him and that's why he was speeding and the way he was."
After Kurt consented to taking the brethalizer, he said to the officer "You're only doing this because you're a Jeff Gordon fan."
I'm not making this stuff up...
Oh, he had one Margarita at a Mexican restaurant. I guess it doesn't make you legally drunk - it just makes you an ass.

About Helen Pollard
A Yorkshire lass at heart, I'm glad to say I outgrew my rebellious teenage vow never to be stuck in the suburbs with a husband and the obligatory two kids . . . I'm happily married, have two almost-independent almost-adults, and it turns out I don't mind suburbia after all!
We share space with a Jekyll and Hyde cat that alternates between being obsessively affectionate and viciously psychotic. Antiseptic cream is always close at hand.
I've loved writing for as long as I can remember. It went on the back burner while I juggled work and bringing up a family, but as the kids grew older and I started to write again, it was like rediscovering an old love. When I'm writing, my characters magically take over and I'm caught up in their story – until I realise my son has no clean socks, the casserole is burning and the cat is jumping on my keyboard because I've neglected to feed her for . . . oh, at least forty minutes.
When I'm not writing, it goes without saying that I love to read, especially authors who can take me out of myself and into another world. To name but a few:
Andrea Camilleri (mystery, humour and great characters)
P.G. Wodehouse (such a wonderful turn of phrase)
Alexander McCall Smith's tales of Mma Ramotswe (uplifting and thought-provoking)
Mary Stewart (old-fashioned feisty heroines)
Nora Roberts (pure romance and a good helping of sizzle!)
I also like decent coffee, scrapbooking and old eighties TV shows (Magnum, Cagney & Lacey, Starsky & Hutch . . .)
Find out more at
1. Could you tell us a bit about yourself?
I live in Yorkshire with my husband, two almost-adults and a Jekyll & Hyde cat – antiseptic cream is always close at hand!
When I'm not writing, I enjoy reading if my eyes aren't too tired from being at a screen a lot of the time. I don't watch much TV nowadays – maybe the odd movie or sitcom, but a series has to be really good to keep my attention. I try to go for a short walk once a day to blow away the cobwebs, and I enjoy treating myself to a coffee and a chat with friends when I can.
2. What kind of books do you bring with you when you go on holiday?
I like a mixture, so I might alternate between romance/chick lit/thrillers/something gentle but wise like Alexander McCall Smith. I wouldn't take anything too 'worthy' on holiday, but would enjoy something that I could really escape into because I wouldn't feel guilty about allowing myself the time.
3. If you could spend a sunny day anywhere how would your perfect day look like?
A morning stroll in an interesting town or city, with a coffee sitting outside in the sunshine, people-and-building watching.
I love the coast and the sound of the waves on the beach. It instills me with a real sense of calm. So maybe an afternoon walking along ,and then sitting on the beach with a good book (as long as it isn't too hot!)
4. Could you tell us about your hobbies (when you are not writing or reading)?
A friend introduced me to card-making and scrapbooking a few years ago, which was a good creative outlet at a point in my life when I wasn't writing. I can't draw for toffee, but I realized I do have an eye for the visual. Since I took up writing again, that's gone by the wayside, but I still have all the stuff and would like to get back into it again, given spare time . . .
5. Where do you find the inspiration for your stories?
I honestly don't know! I'm not one of these writers who sits in coffee shops overhearing snippets of conversation and then building a story around them - more's the pity!
Having a setting or place in mind helps me - I wouldn't say it inspires a whole story, but if I can visualize somewhere in my head, I start to imagine who might be there and why, and then build a story around them.
6. If you could be any leading character from a bestselling book, who would you be and why?
Maybe Bertie Wooster – that way, I could be pampered and I could get clever Jeeves to solve all my problems for me!
7. What's your favorite reading spot?
We had a little sun room built at the back of the house recently, and there is a comfy chair there that I like to curl up in.
8. What is your favorite holiday destination and what do you like so much about it?
I wouldn't say I have a favorite, but I am drawn to the coast.
I'd love to revisit Portugal sometime soon, as it's years since I've been and it has the best of all worlds – great cities, fab coastline, friendly people.
9. Do you have any advice for authors who would like to write a sunny story?
I would say that you need to instill your story with a real sense of place – people pick up a sunny read because they want to be transported there. Yes, you can use internet research etc., but it's better if you've been to a place yourself – it's more than just sights, but also the sounds and the smell and the feel of a place that you need to convey.
10. What can we expect from you in the future?
Return to The Little French Guesthouse, the sequel to The Little French Guesthouse, is due for release on 26th August!

Listen to your heart!
As a graphic designer for Healthy Living Made Simple magazine, part of my job is also working on the marketing materials used for the Sam's Club Free Health Screenings. In the two years I've been a Sam's Club member, I had never taken advantage of the free screening program.
Thankfully, in January 2017 I decided to take to take part in the year's first screening event, mostly to get insight into the program I design for. That simple blood pressure check ended up being a life-changing test.
During the screening, my blood pressure read 168/124 mm Hg, well over the recommended levels of less than 120/80. The staff at the screening showed immediate concern and rechecked it twice to ensure it wasn't a mistake. It was no mistake. I lead a pretty active lifestyle so needless to say I was shocked by the results.
I went to the doctor immediately and my blood pressure had jumped to 200/124. Through medication and changes to my diet, I've gotten my numbers under control. The doctor said stress and family history were probably contributing factors and those results helped start a dialogue with my family about our health history that was long overdue.
I'll be forever thankful to the great staff at the health screening and cannot recommend getting screened highly enough.

A reader laments the increasing rarity of offline multiplayer and recalls the day when Call Of Duty skipped four-player split screen.
I remember the day as if it was yesterday. November 5th 2013, the time was 00:00 and I'd gathered a group of friends that usually play games with me round my house because Call Of Duty: Ghosts was going live on my PlayStation 3 and we were going to have a 'sesh'. How wrong we were.
When we fired the game up at 00:02, when it went live on the PSN store, we all sat there controllers at the ready only to realise the game only supported one to two players and had maps built for a much bigger size of party. It was so heartbreaking we went back to Die Rise and gave them imps a little extra kick.
I've never been a fan or particularly any good at Call Of Duty's twitch shooting mechanics, I much prefer Halo's fast-paced strategy shooting involving shields but that's just me. I did however enjoy Call Of Duty's local multiplayer and the fact it had the ability to have four players in a room playing together, and as my Xbox 360 broke and I purchased a PlayStation 3 for my Metal Gear obsession Call Of Duty was the way to go.
Call me old fashioned but I still think local multiplayer is better than online, the overall experience just feels better when there is someone beside you to which you can gloat or hang your head in shame, sure you can gloat over a headset but it doesn't feel the same.
You miss the magic that makes multiplayer the experience that has revolutionised gaming in the first place: the mayhem of four-player Rust on Modern Warfare 2 when whilst gloating over the sensational throwing knife I just threw at Sam, Adam bursts round the corner and reminds me that this is a small map and there's no time to gloat; holding a huge lead on Sticks and Stones only for every one in the room to hunt you down with a throwing axe and get you in the last second. Or the look on Adam and Andy's face as they first go into the ghost house on Buried Zombies and realise these ghosts are creepy.
All these moments just don't feel the same sat in my underpants with a headset on drinking a 3 litre bottle of coke and eating a whole cheesecake to myself. It's perhaps the main reason I haven't really got into Battlefield, as the only way to play is online and it has no local multiplayer support.
Looking at the current line up of games for PlayStation 4/Xbox One I can see it is a trend that's not going to break any time soon. with Destiny set to break the box office of gaming and most games out this autumn being single-player based stories. Co-op all of a sudden has been shipped online for Assassin's Creed and Far Cry, which never really had a two-player option so maybe this isn't going to set the trend.
This is the reason my Wii U and even my Wii and GameCube have been getting all my gaming time and I have rekindled my romance with cutesy platformers, as I go through a back catalogue of multiplayer and party games with my friends. It just seems like gaming is connecting you to so many people on a massive scale yet you've never been more alone.

More on helmets
I've posted a few times about helmets — on why you should wear them, my borrowed helmet, and, more recently, forgetting one (oops).
Today, Fugly Horse of the Day trumped all of my posts with this post, in which a woman who had suffered a major head injury while riding (falling) wrote to Parelli about their riders never wearing helmets — and received an absolutely atrocious response claiming that their training eliminates the need for helmets. (WTF?!)
Although Fugs wrote the post, the woman who'd forwarded the email to her left a chilling comment:
For those who do not wear a helmet, I just request that it is for a good, honest reason. If it doesn't fit right, it will be uncomfortable and not do the job intended. If it fits and you think it is uncomfortable I can tell you what uncomfortable is and remember that I am lucky in that I will probably get back close to 90-100% of "me".
Uncomfortable is waking in the ambulance being told you had a horse accident and thinking they made a mistake. In and out of consciousness they tell you at the hospital that even though you are just outside of Seattle, they are flying you to the trauma hospital in Seattle, an ambulance will take too long. Waking up in ICU asking for pain meds and they want you to give a number representing the level of pain and you can't give a number because you can't count to 10. You wake up and think all is fine but you can't understand sentences you are reading. You can't find words to use. You are delayed in responding and changing subjects midstream. It has been 2 months and I am still dizzy at times and unbalanced when walking. Again, I am lucky in the amount of damage as therapy has helped a lot. I could go on but I think that is enough "uncomfortable" for an adult to make a decision or at least not use that as an excuse.
That woman is lucky to be alive. How many people never even wake up from a fall like that? Her comment definitely is reinforcing my decision to at least wear a helmet when I'm out on the trail and when I start doing more challenging stuff such as jumping. (Though who knows — maybe when I get my own helmet, I'll like it so much I'll start wearing it more often!)

"Anal, who's done it? Who's tried it, let's see a show of hands!" Scovel asked the audience. The opening bit got a huge laugh and Scovel chastised those in the crowd unwilling to admit it. "I'm tired of the cowardice in the room and in this country," Scovel chided. Scovel followed with a solid set of off-the-cuff observations that kept the crowd engaged and laughing throughout. "When you see someone with a highlighted Bible your first though is creepy!" Scovel joked, "Spoiler alert, the whole book is good." Midway through his set Scovel brought 4-year-old audience member Aurora Kennedy onstage to play the piano. The rambunctious toddler banged away on the keys, smiled and waved to her mom and grandfather seated in the crowd. Janeane Garofalo closed the show, but the veteran comedian was not on her game. Rather than focus on any rehearsed material, she spent her time rambling from one topic to the next, without any cohesive ideas to tie any of it together. Garofalo's at her best when she's speaking passionately about politics, a topic she mostly avoided. "I had a good run in the 90s," Garofalo said of her career, "I became more politicized, and if you're a female and your politicized you're dead."

text: Our commitment to safeguarding at the BHF 3 March 2018 Category: About BHF Recent news reports have raised concerns about safeguarding in charities, which inevitably prompts questions about the organisations you might support, work for, or volunteer with. We want to reassure you that at the British Heart Foundation, we take the safeguarding of our 26,000 staff and volunteers extremely seriously and have a zero tolerance approach to any behaviour that puts the welfare of our people at risk. The highest standards of safeguarding To ensure we deliver on our commitment to make the BHF a safe and rewarding place to work, we have extremely robust safeguarding procedures, which you can read about here. We also have a confidential whistleblowing hotline and email service, which is continually promoted to all of our staff and volunteers, giving them a simple way to raise concerns anonymously. We know that a vital element of any safeguarding strategy is recruiting people of good character. Our recruitment process for both staff and volunteers is comprehensive, and includes background checks, disclosure forms and two reference requests. Some reports have questioned the use of DBS criminal record checks in charity recruitment. But none of our retail employees and volunteers are legally eligible for an enhanced or standard DBS check, although we are looking in to alternatives. Like any organisation of our size, we can't stop all issues arising in the workplace. But in the rare instances that complaints are made, we conduct a thorough investigation, which involves the Police or relevant local authority when it's required. A robust policy, continually reviewed While we're confident in our procedures, we're never complacent when it comes to the wellbeing of our staff and volunteers and continually make improvements to ensure we're maintaining the highest standards of safeguarding. We are now carrying out a thorough review of our safeguarding policy and procedures to see if there are further improvements we can make. This includes looking in to if we can enhance background checks for the people we recruit and take on as volunteers. Thank you for your life saving contribution We hope this information has helped answer some of your questions, and shows that we are committed to being transparent on this issue. If you work or volunteer at the BHF and have concerns, we would urge you to speak out by emailing [email protected] or by phoning 0300 222 5868. If you are a customer or supporter please contact us by phoning 0300 330 3322 or emailing [email protected]. Again, we want to assure you that there is nothing more important to us than the wellbeing of our thousands of staff, volunteers and supporters. Thank you for your work and support. Without it, we simply wouldn't be able to fund research that is today saving the lives of millions of people living with heart and circulatory disease in the UK and worldwide.

I wanted to educate those of you who feel less knowledgable when it comes to skin and its aging process. I'm very passionate when it comes to skin. As a makeup artist, it is my canvas. Daily we're surrounded by free radicals such as pollution, smoking and sun exposure. Lifestyle choices and improper skin maintenance also can wreak major havoc on our cells and start the deterioration of our once-youthful skin. Sun exposure is the number one cause of premature aging, hyper-pigmentation/hypo-pigmentation, wrinkles and loss of elasticity--all the things we are trying so hard to prevent!
This is what many people don't know: adding a vitamin C serum underneath your moisturizer and daily SPF is essential to anti-aging. A vitamin C serum helps to fade skin discolorations, softens fine lines and helps to smooth and tone your overall skins texture. A super powerful antioxidant fights those free radicals and works in synergy with sun protection. There's an extensive selection for you to choose from, and I always suggest you do your research to find what's best for you and your skin type. Vitamin C serums come in cream forms as well as more concentrated forms, which are in droppers. This was my personal game changer...my skin was visibly brightened and plump within the first week of use. #gamechanger!

I had a couple of photographs on exhibit at the Marin County Fair in 2011, so I attended on July 4, and took a lot of pictures. I then went back after the fair closed a few days later to retrieve the exhibits, and took more photos of the (mostly) empty fairgrounds and everything being literally deconstructed. For my SoFoBoMo project I chose a representative sampling of pictures from both days.

For reasons unbeknownst to me, I've managed to catch a cold just as Summer is approaching :(. I'm putting it down to weather fluctuations and running in the rain which didn't help matters earlier in the week.
To cheer myself up I baked a banana and blueberry cake yesterday that turned out pretty well. I've been using Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free flour which works effectively with regular baking powder in a cake batter to produce a pretty light and airy texture.
I had some bananas plus a pack of frozen blueberries that I added straight into the mixture without thawing and they add a little tartness to the cake which is really lovely.
Bananas and blueberries are rich in antioxidants (such as Vitamin C) to help boost the immune system & clearly I need that right now!. The riper the banana, the more antioxidants contained so really brown ones are perfect for cooking.
Gluten Free Banana & Blueberry Cake
Produces 10 slices
2 very ripe bananas
1 cup of frozen blueberries
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 egg
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp honey, agave or maple syrup (my bananas were very sweet so I added a reduced amount of extra sweetness)
3 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 1/4 cup gluten free flour
1 1/4 cup oats
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a cake pan well.
- Mash bananas in a large bowl. Add all ingredients up to and including the almond milk and mix well to combine.
- Add the gluten free flour blend and oats and stir.
- Bake for about 40 minutes. When ready, it should be golden brown on top and a skewer inserted into the cake should come out clean.

Is a Bad College Education Illegal?
When the University of North Carolina was recruiting Michael McAdoo, Tar Heels head coach Butch Davis made a pledge that helped lure the high school football star to Chapel Hill. "I can't guarantee that Michael will play in the NFL," Davis told McAdoo's mother, grandmother, and grandfather while at their home in Antioch, Tenn. "But one thing I can guarantee is that he will get a good education at the University of North Carolina."
It didn't quite work out that way. After enrolling at UNC and playing defensive end during the 2008 and 2009 seasons, the NCAA ruled McAdoo ineligible because he received improper help from a tutor in writing an African-American studies paper. That sort of extra assistance was all too common for top athletes at the highly-regarded public university. According to a devastating report released in October, former federal attorney Kenneth Wainstein found that between 1993 and 2011…

Kuwait considers building new US$ 12 bn world-class mega airport
Posted on 22nd March 2018
According to *Tradearabia news report, Kuwait is considering building a new $12-billion world-class mega airport to meet the rapid growth in air traffic, a senior official said.
Directorate general of civil aviation Sheikh Salman Sabah Salem Al-Humoud Al-Sabah was quoted by state news agency Kuna as saying the government is studying putting up a tender for a new airport with a capacity of 25 million passengers a year.
Sheikh Salman was speaking at the Kuwait Investment Forum 2018 (KIF2018).
"Taking into consideration the basic requirements for airport building, security and safety standards and weather, the new airport will be located in northern Kuwait," he said.
He said the site would facilitate the establishment of an integrated airport that would provide all transport and logistic services.
Sheikh Salman stated that the government would allocate the land and the private sector would build, operate and manage the project.
"Assigning such a mega project to specialised international companies would be an optimal way for achieving partnership between public and private sectors," he noted.
He forecast that up to $12 billion will be invested in the new airport, which would generate over 15,000 jobs.
He underlined that the new project would meet the steady growth in air traffic. "Kuwait will witness a rapid growth in passenger and cargo movement in the coming 20 years, so we study such projects," he clarified.
He stated that the Kuwait International Airport accommodated 13.7 million passengers in 2017, an increase of 17 per cent compared to 2016 and the volume of its air cargo hit 241,000 tons in 2017 compared with 195.5 tons in 2016.
"To keep pace with this growth, the DGCA has also revamped the existing airport through a number of projects such as the construction of the new passenger terminal (T2) with a capacity of 25 million passengers annually, scheduled to complete by 2022," he said.
Sheikh Salman added that the DGCA has also started the building of a new Passengers Support Terminal (T4). "Work on this project is proceeding according to schedule," he said, noting that it aims to ease congestion at the existing terminal at the Kuwait International Airport.
The T4 would accommodate about 4.5 million passengers annually and provide diverse services for travellers, he said.
The DCCA is also setting up two new runways and a new control tower at the Kuwait International Airport to enhance its traffic efficiency and safety, he stated.
He described the construction of the new cargo city at the Kuwait International Airport (currently in the first stage) as one of the most promising projects of the state development plan.
The mega city will be built on an area of 3 million sq m and is expected to be the largest in the Middle East, he said.
He disclosed that Kuwait is finalising a new civil aviation law to open the way for the establishment of new aviation companies in the country.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – The University of Michigan Center for Integrative Research in Critical Care (MCIRCC) has partnered with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to find new research aiming to impact the way severe traumatic brain injury is diagnosed and treated.
MCIRCC and the Combat Casualty Care Research Program (CCCRP), a subsidiary of the DoD and the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, signed an agreement in November 2015 to begin executing a series of collaborative activities focused on severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).
The partners will work together to host The Massey Foundation TBI Grand Challenge which invites researchers to engage and partner in groundbreaking research in severe TBI and to submit project proposals for funding. A TBI is a form of brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head (or even a penetrating head injury) that ultimately disrupts the normal function of the brain.
Funding will be awarded to teams developing diagnostic, device, therapeutic or health information technology solutions that address the initial "golden hour" and critical 24 to 48 hours of care following a severe TBI. The "golden hour" refers to the treatment administered during the initial hour after injury which can determine patient survival and have a significant effect on long-term function and disability.
Projects will be funded from a pool of up to $500,000 for a 12-month timeframe and will be reviewed by the Massey Grand Challenge Steering Committee, which includes researchers, physicians and scientists from U-M and neurotrauma leadership from the DoD.
TBI is the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. with 52,000 deaths per year. Approximately 2.5 million people sustained a TBI in 2010 alone.
"Most people don't know that the Department of Defense service members and their families represent the largest U.S. population suffering from TBI," says Kevin Ward, M.D., executive director of MCIRCC and professor of emergency medicine at U-M. "The fact we are able to partner with the Department of Defense on this project is a force multiplier for both organizations."
"The Department of Defense brings their own set of expertise and resources to help us get this research into both the civilian and non-civilian clinical setting," he adds.
This is the inaugural year of The Massey Foundation TBI Grand Challenge thanks to a generous gift from the Joyce and Don Massey Family Foundation. The Massey family had their own experience with TBI after mother and wife, Joyce Massey, was injured in a car accident. The effects of TBI left her ability to function daily seriously impaired, including difficulty with speaking, eating and breathing.
The Massey family gave their gift to U-M in early 2015 in hopes of sparing other families from experiencing what they endured. It includes funding for clinical research, technology innovation, translational research, a patient/family support fund and the annual TBI Grand Challenge.
The TBI Grand Challenge will kick off this week with a summit where researchers will learn more about the funding opportunity and hear from a variety of guest speakers on the subject, including military members and their families that have also been affected by TBI.
"We're proud to partner with the University of Michigan on The Massey Foundation TBI Grand Challenge," says Alicia Crowder, Ph.D., manager of the Neurotrauma & Traumatic Brain Injury Portfolio for the CCCRP. "We hope to support projects with follow-on funding specifically from the Department of Defense that prove they can be used by our medics in the field. It's an exciting time for research and treatment of an injury that affects so many of our service members."

Saturday at noon the UPS man drove up to our house and honked the horn. A stampede of children ran out to the truck to meet him at the curb. Connor retrieved his package and held it to his chest like a prized possession because it was. The kids came thundering back in the house searching for scissors to open the box. "My LEGOs, My LEGOs!", yelled Connor as he shook the box.
Connor received a box of LEGOs overnight as a reward for his second grade STAR test scores. It has been quite the to-do at our house the last two days. Connor received 100% in 6 out of 9 test areas only missing 4 questions on the entire 125 question test.
The child is smart. Scary smart. Seriously though, I am scared.
Now we are anxiously awaiting the mailman so Lainy Ann can get her scores.

Cyber Monday a Bigger Success Than Expected
If you're like most Americans, you may still be coming down from the holiday high that happened last week. No, we're not talking about Thanksgiving, we're talking about the modern shoppers' holiday: Cyber Monday.
Though Black Friday has long been the start of the shopping season, Cyber Monday has slowly but surely begun to take front and center, since its beginnings in 2005. And as more people have access to laptops, smartphones and tablets, they're finding less of a reason to wait in long lines or battle cold weather to get this year's hot commodity.
Cyber Monday: The Numbers
This year, Cyber Monday wasn't just good news for shoppers, it was good for retailers too, with projected sales outpacing 2012's revenue by nearly 20 percent, according to IBM. Adobe Systems reported that a record $2.29 billion was spent on December 1. That is in stark contrast to this year's Black Friday numbers, which took a dip for the first time since 2009.
While some experts may say that's a sign of a slowing economy, others may say it's just a sign of the changing times and the growth of our digital world. In fact, mobile site traffic (those using tablets and smartphones) accounted for 32 percent of site visits, a 45 percent increase from 2012. According to IBM, the average purchase for tablet users was $128.30, while those purchasing off of their smartphone spent about $110.95.
According to Visa, Inc. its customers alone spent $7.8 billion during Thanksgiving weekend, $2.6 billion of that on Cyber Monday, up 28 percent from a year earlier.
Amazon and eBay Win Big
Even more convenient than being able to do all of your shopping at your desk is being able to do all of your shopping on just one website. The popularity of Amazon and eBay became apparent this Cyber Monday as both retailers saw huge traffic spikes and purchase surges. Amazon's Cyber Monday same-store sales jumped 46 percent from last year, while eBay's climbed 32 percent, according to ChannelAdvisor Corp.
Another website that had good news to report was Groupon, which noted that it had the two biggest sales days ever in North America in the company's history, and saw its shares jump 3.9 percent. In addition, Walmart.com said it had its biggest online sales day ever.
This Year's Hot Items
If Cyber Monday sales are any indication of what's on everyone's wish list, then Santa will be giving out a lot of tablets this year. According to an economist at the Consumer Electronics Association, shoppers bought 1.4 million tablet computers from Walmart alone. And, according to PriceGrabber, Apple's iPad and iPad Mini were the most clicked on items. The Kindle Fire also gained a lot of attention as Amazon hyped up the 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HDX and dropped the price for the 7-inch version to $179, a $50 discount.
Other well-selling items includes Xbox 360, which accounted for 31 percent of gaming sales, Beats by Dre headphones which were advertised for up to 50 percent off on eBay, and big-screen TVs like the 65-inch 1080p Samsung HDTV which went for $1,099.

I thought this was one of the more creative challenges, and could see writing a whole series of How-To poems. I had lots of fun with this one (which also took the least amount of time to write). Enjoy!
How the Colon Came to Be a Period
Colon Howell lived in the land of Alfabet City,
where all the punctuation was quite witty,
though he was tired of floating over vowels
because of the nosebleeds that made him dizzy.
A fast-paced city it was,
all the marks running on and on,
never stopping–
so exhausting.
While strolling through the park one day,
in the merry month of June,
he was taken by surprise,
by a bunch of loons—
We's who'd read Ayn Rand and
wanted to become I's;
they took his blue eye,
but he got away before
they were able to get his brown,
and he was bounced out of town.
When he returned undercover,
dressed as a semicolon,
he leaked his story on YouTube and HuffPost,
with an eyepatch over the part that was swollen,
full of ripostes.
Through his ordeal,
he found a new purpose,
for run-on sentences stopped,
and he was hailed a hero.

Haddo House near Ellon is on the hunt for volunteers to help with its Halloween Magic at Haddo event on Friday 21 and Sunday 23 October (with a possible extra date on Saturday, October 22 if the others are very popular)
Granite City is lighting up the park with coloured lights and some special effects and Haddo is looking for woodland creatures, fairies, sprites, witches and wizards (good and evil) and trolls to populate the park. This will basically involve getting dressed up and having as much fun as you can!
If you'd like to sing, dance or perform that would be fantastic. Or take part in some simple games for the children- for example the children will have to talk to a sprite who will give them a 'password' so they can get past the troll and into another area of the park. Or just wander about looking atmospheric…
All children will be with their parents/responsible adult so you won't be in charge of any kids or expected to run any specific activities.
The event is open from 7pm to 9pm so ideally if you could be available an hour or so before to get organised and for a short time after that. There is a small budget for costumes but if you've got your own that would be superb.
If you'd like to help out on either/both nights, or if you know someone who would then please get in touch by calling 01651 851041 and leave a message on the answerphone.

"Innovation and inspiration" in sport for a better environment
The 8th World Conference on Sport and the Environment kicks off next week in Vancouver, the host city of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. Organised jointly by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the Vancouver 2010 Organising Committee (VANOC), in close partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the conference will bring together representatives of the world of sport, industry, sponsors, the United Nations system and NGOs.
With its main theme, "Innovation and Inspiration - Harnessing the Power of Sport for Change", the 2009 World Conference recognises the power of the sports movement to trigger innovative solutions to the challenges it faces, and to inspire people to pursue a more sustainable world.
Caring for the environment: a collective responsibility
Caring for the environment: a collective responsibility
For the IOC President, Jacques Rogge: "Caring for the environment is an important part of the work of the Olympic Movement. If sport events and activities are not planned and managed carefully, they can cause degradation of the natural environment. Equally important is the collective responsibility of those involved in sport to ensure that athletes and sport participants are able to train and compete in clean and healthy conditions. We also recognise there are many opportunities for sport, including sport events like the Olympic Games, to provide sustainable environmental legacies." Over the past 15 years, the IOC has become a leader in environmental stewardship, going beyond the Olympic Games themselves. Sport and the environment have become a full-time activity area, with initiatives and projects implemented worldwide. International Federations, National Olympic Committees (NOCs), Olympic Games Organising Committees (OCOGs), athletes and TOP Partners have all undertaken practical actions and solutions to protect the environment and promote a legacy of sustainability for future generations.
Olympic Games for sustainability
For the IOC, it is important to ensure that the Games create environmentally sustainable benefits that can be applied to host cities and, ideally, elsewhere in the world. A report by UNEP, entitled "Beijing 2008 Olympic Games – Final Environmental Assessment" shows that the latest edition of the Olympic Games, in Beijing, marked a step forward in terms of eco-friendly mass spectator sporting events. In close partnership with UNEP, Beijing's Green Olympics Commitment was achieved through its action for environmental technologies, policies and ozone layer protection, and the promotion of environmental education and awareness, among others.
And Vancouver 2010, together with UNEP, is taking the same route, by taking environmental and sustainability considerations to the heart of the Olympic project. VANOC is the first OCOG to have integrated "sustainability" into its vision statement. VANOC has successfully incorporated its sustainability performance objectives into its business systems.
Impressive programme and speakers
How is sport embracing environmental responsibility? How can we achieve environmental progress in an uncertain economy? How can green planning, design and construction principles reduce environmental impact while creating more sustainable communities? How can we capitalise on the relationship between sport, business and sustainability to create enhanced value for all parties? How can sport inspire young people to be responsible citizens in an environmentally interdependent world? How can athletes influence their fans to care for the planet? How can governments work together to develop local and regional climate policy initiatives? These are few of the topics that will be discussed in Vancouver by top-level speakers from the sports family, UN bodies, TOP Partners, civil society and the world of business and politics. One of the speakers, Prince Albert II of Monaco, will present his perspective on the opportunities for sport organizations to provide leadership on climate change and other environment issues. He will also reflect on the recent trip he made, crossing from the west to the east of Antarctica to evaluate the impact of global warming on this continent and to alert international public opinion about the dangers of global warming.
First ever IOC Sport and Environment Award
First ever IOC Sport and Environment Award
On 30 March 2009, the Vancouver Conference will see the very first IOC Award for Sport and the Environment being presented. It will be awarded every two years, and will acknowledge and further encourage the implementation of good environmental practices by the Olympic family in the field of sport. One Award will be given to each of the continents: Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania. The winners have been chosen from among individuals, groups and organisations nominated by NOCs, Recognised International Federations and Continental Associations.

Automotive Industry CongressEdit
On 15 May 1961, the Otomotiv Endüstri Kongresi (Automotive Industry Congress) was opened by President Cemal Gürsel. In his inaugural speech, he said:
|... We will reform agriculture too, but it is not possible to achieve anything just by selling grass! We can barely receive 7-8 buses in exchange for a shipfull of cotton. You may apprise how much effort is needed to raise a shipfull of cotton. Therefore, industry is necessary.
We have to become industrialized with a well-balanced tempo. This is a certain requirement. You may ask "don't we have any industry?" Yes we have, but they are so dispersed that all of them must be arranged to work for one direction.
When it comes to the automotive industry; a modern country must produce its own transportation vehicles. In today's world transportation vehicles occupy an important place in the economy. We must produce our own transportation vehicles, we must transport with our own vehicles. First, we have to build some of the parts; then, with improvement, we must build up to 70-80% of them.
Some people say that it's impossible to produce automobiles in Turkey. This thought is the product of dark minds. Turkey has many industrial branches that encourage us in this way too...
After the congress, Gürsel issued his order to build a prototype engine and car meeting the requirements of the country. These prototypes would be compared with the best cars of the time, the shortcomings would be identified, and project development work would be undertaken in order to produce the best possible car in Turkey.
Design and production of DevrimEdit
In 1961, President Cemal Gürsel ordered 24 engineers, working in various companies, to build a car fully designed and produced in Turkey. It was to be demonstrated during the Republic Day celebrations on October 29, 1961.
After 130 days of hasty labor at the workshop in Eskişehir, which later became the TÜLOMSAŞ factory, the engineers managed to make four prototypes of the automobile. One was black, and the others were cream coloured. It was named Devrim (the Turkish word for Revolution.)
The schedule was extremely tight nonetheless four cars could be completed and two of these cars (cream and black coloured) were shipped to Ankara for the Republic Day celebrations. Polishing paint of the black car was done while on the train to Ankara. None of the cars had gasoline in them, as a safety precaution, and the cars were filled with little fuel, only for maneuvering. Since the compression rate had been increased to boost engine performance, high octane fuel was needed to run the engines without engine knock. High octane fuel was only available in Ankara back then. On the day of the celebrations, President Cemal Gürsel got into the black car before it was refuelled for a ceremonial ride. After proceeding approximately a hundred meters, the vehicle came to a halt. Then the President got off from the black car and got onto the cream colored car at the back (which had been filled up earlier) and went to Anıtkabir with it. The two cars then completed the ceremonial runs without any problem. The newspaper headlines in the following day were, "Devrim went 100 meters and it broke down." The car became the subject of jokes for many years. It is worth noting that roughly at the same dates the car of the Queen of England broke down and lords pushed the car during ceremony.
Devrim was never mass-produced. One reason for that was the cars were crafted prototypes and the production process was not well-documented, with almost no technical drawings remaining from the production phase.[citation needed] Another reason was that the demand was not high enough to make mass production feasible.[citation needed] Conversely Anadol factory has been founded just a few years after (1966) and started serial production of passenger vehicles. The founder of Anadol automobile factory Vehbi Koç was a Ford dealer and before the Devrim project, he did not believe that it was possible to produce cars in Turkey.
Conspiracy theoriesEdit
A popular conspiracy theory about the failure of mass production suggests that the American auto giants, who sold most of the foreign cars in Turkey back in the early 1960s (even the police cars were GM and Ford models, especially Chevrolet, until the late 1970s) had approached the Turkish government to cancel the project, and it was decided to keep the relations smooth between the two close NATO allies.
Five years later, in 1966, Anadol became Turkey's first mass production passenger car, produced by Otosan (a joint venture between Ford Motor Company of the United States and Koç Holding of Turkey.)
Three of the prototypes were scrapped due to the bureaucratic restrictions, their engines converted to diesel generators, but the last one is kept, in working condition, inside the TÜLOMSAŞ factory in Eskişehir, where it was built. The remaining Devrim is open for visit at TÜLOMSAŞ factory in Eskişehir everyday between 08:00-17:00.
The story of the building process and hard efforts of the 24 engineers who worked on Devrim automobiles became the subject of a film, which was released in Turkey in 2008 with the name of "Devrim Arabaları" (English: Cars of Revolution).[1]
In late 2010, students from the National University of Science and Technology in Pakistan developed a hybrid car with inspiration from Devrim, and named this car Devrim II.[2]
