The Annual Non-Chocolate Gift Food List: Puzzling
over what to get that connoisseur friend or loved one who can't
or won't consume chocolate? Below is a list of some alternatives
that are novel, surprising, and just plain delicious.
fizzylizzy, www.fizzylizzy.com, (212) 966-6621. I don't
drink soda. Almost all of it is too sweet and too heavily carbonated,
and it's generally very bad for you. But here are combinations of
pure fruit juice and seltzer water, with no added sugar or corn
syrup and no preservatives. They're lower in calories than most
sodas or juices, they contain a generous amount of Vitamin C, and,
most importantly, they taste good! They're not overly-carbonated,
and the flavors are refreshingly tart. Fizzylizzy is available in
Ruby Red Grapefruit (my favorite), Orange, Pineapple, or Cranberry,
and you can find it throughout the Northeast and in South Florida,
Chicago, Seattle, and Minneapolis/St. Paul; you can also ask your
store manager to order it if you don't live in any of these areas.
This would be a nice alternative to sodas at seasonal parties
use it as a mixer or in your world-famous holiday punch. By now,
fizzylizzy may be available at www.beveragesdirect.com.
The Grateful Palate, www.gratefulpalate.com, (888) 472-5283.
I really like bacon, but most supermarket bacon is simply pathetic.
Enter The Grateful Palate, with a whole collection of bacons you've
never heard of before. This is bacon for bacon-lovers, bacon for
people who understand that smoke and salt and meatiness are essential
yet often missing elements in our lives. Your big problem will be
deciding between Hempler's, Rain's, Petit Jean's Hickory Smoked,
and the many other choices. But there's much more to this website
than that. Australian wines, coffees with names like "Trevor
Jones Wild Witch Blend", Blue Smoke barbecue products, cranberry
raspberry relish
you never know what you'll find here, but
that's part of what makes it so entertaining. With products selected
carefully from all over the world, this is a quirky site devoted
to foodies seeking to expand their gustatorial horizons.
Pinch Plus, www.pinchplus.com, (866) PINCH PLUS or (207)
761-3772. This is an inspired concept! Air-tight and light-excluding
sachets hold one tablespoon of organic herbs and spices in commonly-used
varieties, such as basil, cinnamon, cayenne, and cilantro. These
products were designed for people who love to cook even when they're
not in their own kitchens-think about taking these on camping trips,
to that shore house you share with friends on the weekend, aboard
your boat, or even when you go to cook in someone else's kitchen
for a night. The herbs and spices are available in sets of ten or
twenty-four packets. Also available are small recipe booklets packaged
with three sachets that will allow you to make a complete meal;
these focus on a number of international cuisines. Perfect for on-the-go
cooks everywhere! By the time you read this, these products should
be available retail from the website.
Royal Medjool Dates, www.royaldates.com, (760) 572-0534.
In the 1920's, disease threatened Morocco's Medjool Date Palms.
The products of those trees had been reserved, up until that time,
for royalty and a privileged few dignitaries. In desperation, the
Chariff of Morocco gave the US thirteen immature trees, hoping to
help save the species. Luckily, the Bard Valley, in California,
has climatic conditions nearly ideal for these palms, and the trees
flourished. Today, anyone can enjoy these fruits. Medjool dates
are larger, meatier, and have, I think, a better and more complex
flavor than the usual puny supermarket dates, and Royal Medjool
offers gourmet packs, consumer packs, and bulk packs in up to five
different grades. A nice gift idea for dried fruit fans (like me),
bakers (think date-nut bread!), or those who like sweets but don't
want to consume refined sugar.
Omega Foods, www.omegafoods.net. Patrick Sullivan, the head
honcho at Omega Foods, started his company in an attempt to offer
consumers a healthier alternative to beef burgers but at comparable
prices and with no added dairy or wheat products; I am here to tell
you he has succeeded admirably. Omega Foods, still a young company,
currently offers three products: the SalmonBurger, the TunaBurger,
and the MahiMahi Burger. All the burgers are 100 or fewer calories
per 3.2 ounce serving, low in saturated and total fat, and packed
with high-quality protein. They taste good, too; I've been sampling
these burgers at trade shows for years (I can't decide whether the
SalmonBurger or the MahiMahi Burger is my favorite). Great for busy
people who like quick, nutritious meals they can genuinely enjoy.
The burgers are available in most natural foods stores and many
upscale grocers nationwide, but if you cannot find them where you
live, call the Product Locator Service at (541) 349-0731.
French Prairie/Dundee Fruit Company, www.oregongourmet.com,
(541) 752-7418. When you go to food trade shows year after year,
you get to know what to look for. This is one of the companies I
always search out, because they are wise enough to offer samples
of their Black Cherries in Brandy. Full-flavored fruit is packed
in fancy glass jars with no lack of good brandy flavor; the only
thing missing is the ice cream to pour it over! This is an instant
dessert for unexpected company or a self-indulgence for a special
moment. French Prairie also brandies peaches, apricots, prunes,
marionberries (indigenous to Oregon, where the company is based),
and pears. But there's more; they also sell preserves with eaux-de-vie
and brandy, and conserves (preserves with the addition of dried
fruit, nuts, citrus, or all three) with eaux-de-vie. How about a
glaze of Peach Preserves with Brandy for your next roast duck? Perhaps
a Blue Plum Conserve with Walnuts and Blue Plum Brandy for your
morning toast? Meals may never be the same! You can find these products
at oregongourmet.com; by now, French Prairie's own website, www.dundeefruit.com,
may also be online, or you can call them at (503) 537-2500.
Noix au Bordeaux/Knipschildt Chocolatier, www.knipschildt.com,
(203) 435-0895 or (203) 849-3141. How does Knipschildt do it? Not
only does this small company turn out great chocolates, but their
newest product, which fits into this listing, is equally remarkable.
Blanched, lightly caramelized walnuts are cooked with Bordeaux,
orange juice, and spices. The result? Deeply-flavored walnuts in
a thin red-wine-based sauce, a combination that cries out to be
poured over ice cream, served with goat or bleu cheese and good
bread, or simply eaten by the spoonful from the jar. A creative
and elegant gift for gourmets---or those who aspire to be. Eight
ounce jars, ideal for gift-giving, are available from Denver's The
Truffle; Darien, CT's Cheese Store; Cambridge, MA's Formaggio Kitchen;
and New York City retailers Garden of Eden and Grace's Market, among
Mo Hotta Mo Betta, www.mohotta.com, (800) 462-3220. Calling
all pepperheads! If you love your food spicy-hot, you'll love Mo
Hotta Mo Betta, a clearinghouse offering more hot foods than I've
ever seen in one place at one time. Think you can take hot sauces
called Mr. Blister or Pain 95% or Mad Cat? You'll find them all
here, along with dozens of others. Hot sauces are thoughtfully indexed
by heat level and further subdivided into the categories "scary"
and "rude". But heat junkies don't live by hot sauce alone,
so this company also offers barbeque sauces, mustards, ketchups,
marinades, rubs, chili mixes, and snacks like Wasabi Chips and Acid
Rain Hot Nuts. They'll even customize a hot sauce just for you!
Their site proclaims "We Ship the World", so it's easy
to send gifts to far-flung friends. If you can stand the heat, get
into the kitchen, and take some of these products with you.
Zingerman's, www.zingermans.com, (888) 636-8162. Resistance
is futile. Zingerman's has the hippest, funkiest, most fun print
catalog I've ever seen. It's a little upscale armchair travel and
a lot of narration that will leave your salivary glands working
overtime, whether Ari and Mo are recounting their search for a good
Portugese olive oil or telling you why their French cognac mustard
is so special. Zingerman's sells a wide array of foods (including
chocolate-perhaps I'll tell you about that some other time), but
most of all they sell knowledge and quality. This company genuinely
cares about the foods they sell and how those foods are produced;
they encourage people to learn with them (see the website guide
on selecting cheeses-raw milk rules!). Varietal breads, pasta sauces,
red rice, fleur-de-sel caramels, genuine chorizo...the choices seem
endless. Clever gift assortments and food clubs round out the selection
nicely. I haven't yet been to the store (in Ann Arbor), but I have
every intention of making a pilgrimage there as soon as possible.
Bella Vista Farm, www.bellavistafarm.com, (866) 237-8526.
Organic sugar. Organic popcorn. Organic honey and peanut butter.
Bella Vista offers all of these, but I haven't tried any, as I've
been far too occupied with their glorious organic jams and preserves.
While these jams are not as thick as some others I've tried, they
are not too sweet and have a beautiful true flavor and contain large
chunks of fruit. I can never decide whether I prefer Tart Cherry
or Blueberry, but I must not neglect to mention other choices, such
as Blackberry, Strawberry, and several blends, including "Razzle
Dazzle" (raspberry/blackberry). The jams are sold in one ounce
or ten ounce jars or five pound containers; additionally, the ten
ounce jars are sold in mixed cases of twelve. Pretty labels help
to further the gift appeal of these jams. By now, Bella Vista may
also be offering two new all-natural pasta sauces (Marinara and
Mushroom), as well as organic pasta and organic extra-virgin olive
oil, both imported from Italy.
Sally Williams Fine Honey Nougat, http://www.sallywilliamsfinefoods.com,
(718) 338-6767; to buy retail, www.chefshop.com. OK, I admit it;
I'm not the world's greatest nougat fan. But this nougat is different-deliciously
chewy, not quite as sweet as others, and very fresh-tasting. Sally
Williams, a noted South African chef, was inspired to create her
own nougat after a stroll through the bazaar in Marrakesh. Made
entirely by hand, with no preservatives, the certified-kosher nougat
is wrapped into pieces exactly the right size for two or three bites.
You have your choice of cashew, hazelnut (my favorite), almond,
or macadamia. I've always maintained that ingredient quality is
most apparent when a recipe contains few components; I believe that
Sally Williams Fine Honey Nougat is further proof of this, as the
products used to make them are few in number but obviously of high
caliber. ChefShop.com offers this nougat in individual flavors or
an assortment. Note: I had trouble getting to the Sally Williams
site via Google. By typing in the entire web address, including
the "http://" prefix, Google provides a live link which,
when clicked on, will get you in to the site.

Are you also looking forward to the upcoming holidays, like Christmas and New Year's Eve? If you want something different this year, I can recommend the following cities as the perfect get-away.
1. Paris
The city of love; even more with all the Christmas decorations. Paris is the perfect city if you're looking for a romantic weekend. Highlights are off course the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum (free admission for people under 25), the Arc de Triomphe, the Notre Dame, the Champs-Élysées, Place de la Concorde, Centre Pompidou, Panthéon and Sainte-Chapelle. The most romantic part of town is the Montmartre district, with its cozy, little, cobbled streets with lots of art studios and its beautiful Sacré-Coeur. If you have enough time to go outside the city center, the Palace of Versailles is definitely worth a visit. You can spend all day wandering around the palace of Louis XIV, the house of Marie-Antoinette and the amazing gardens (free admission for people under 26). And, if you want to get back to your childhood, you should go visit Disneyland to meet all your favorite Disney characters. A Paris Visite Travel Card for 1 day is € 12,85 for the city center or € 26,95 to include destinations like Versailles and Disneyland.
Montmartre in Christmas ambience
2. London
Looking for a good place to do all your Christmas shopping? London is the place to be! By plane you can get there in 1 hour, but there are also a lot of bus companies that offer a 1-day trip. Check this blog for the best Christmas shopping hotspots: http://www.visitlondon.com/things-to-do/shopping/christmas-shopping-hotspots. For an easy tour around town, you can catch a hop-on hop-off bus and see all the highlights like Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Piccadilly Circus, Tower Bridge, London Eye, Trafalgar Square and Westminster Abbey. If you want to explore the city by yourself, you can best take the Tube (Metro). You can buy a Day Travelcard (£12,10 for travelling in the city center) or a so-called Oyster card; this card costs £3 and you can put as much credit on it as you want/need. Don't forget to pass by Harrods which is amazing during the Christmas period.

3. Berlin
Berlin is a city with a lot of history and is therefore a city you should definitely see. Basically, you can go there all-year-round, but in the winter it has an even more special vibe because of all the Christmas markets. You can find most of them around Alexanderplatz. Definitely go for a Glühwein or Currywurst here. If you're interested in the history of this city, there are some places to visit next to the well-known highlights like The Wall and CheckPoint Charlie. Quite interesting are for example the museum The Story of Berlin, the Berlin-Hohenschönhausen Memorial (a former detainment and transit camp and later on Stasi prison), and the 'Berliner Unterwelten', in which you can do multiple tours to discover the history of Berlin's underground (and see for example escape tunnels built during the Cold War). Best way to travel around town is by S-bahn and U-bahn (a one-day ticket for the city center costs €7,-).
Brandenburger Tor during Christmas
There you have it, 3 magical cities to visit during your Christmas holiday. Where will you go this year?

A tiny update on the throttle stuff... It works. WOOT!
It's very optimized compared to my original plan. Each of the three available throttle control curves has only 4 control points in a 2D Bézier curve. When you switch the configuration to a different curve, the microcontroller dynamically generates a new map of 256 points for joystick axis value to motor command value. That's it. Works great (up on the sawhorses, anyway)!
The original plan above caused the ATmega256 to crash and restart because the poor thing only has 8K of SRAM. The tables of coordinates coming out of the Bézier curve function were 2,048 bytes each and I was (stupidly) building TWO curves (maps) for each skill level curve (one curve each for motor/joystick-axis combo). 25% of memory used up on silly lookup tables was glaringly inefficient.
Since the resolution of the motor commands is only 128 steps, I really didn't need to hang onto a value for every potentiometer step (1024). Now I just generate the 256 points (kinda like how the Nyquist frequency in sampling audio). That appears to produce the smoothest response from the motors. It's glorious (in a nerdy way)!
I'm going to fire up the soldering iron and build a quick cable assembly for the controls to the drive computer. I need to mount all this junk onto the chair temporarily to do a test drive. I'll probably bring it over to LM in the "mostly it works" state. I'll worry about the other non-essential features later.

HOUSTON, TEXAS--(Marketwired - Sept. 20, 2016) - Oil and gas software company Energy Navigator announced it has recently expanded and relocated its Houston office. The new office - located at One Briarlake Plaza, 2000 W. Sam Houston Pkwy South, Suite 1475, Houston, Texas, 77042 - includes on-site user training and lecture facilities. Energy Navigator sees this expansion as a requirement to support its growing client base of oil and gas producers, independent reserves evaluators, brokerage firms, banks and financial institutions.
"With today's oil and gas prices, profit margins are extremely tight. Workforces are being reduced and valuable knowledge and experience is being lost. E&P companies - as well as the evaluators and financial institutions who work with them - are all focused on delivering maximum value," said VP, U.S. Operations Bill Agee. "Energy Navigator software helps them do that by increasing confidence in their data and driving improved efficiency and productivity in their work processes. Clients who have relied on legacy-style reserves systems and manual or paper-based AFE and Opex/Capex tracking systems simply can't afford to keep doing things the same old way. They're looking for alternatives from companies, like ours, who offer proven solutions and stand behind them with ongoing development, user support and training."
Energy Navigator's expanded Houston facilities are part of a long-term strategy to build client relationships and provide more readily available support resources to clients in the lower 48 states. The company currently has approximately 65 staff, nearly two-thirds of which are dedicated to ongoing development, quality assurance, and client support and technical services. The company has locations in Houston, Denver, Brisbane, and Calgary.
About Energy Navigator
Energy Navigator produces two best-in-class software systems for oil and gas. Val Nav® is a highly accurate and easy-to-learn end-to-end forecasting, economics and reserves management system used by more than 300 E&P companies, banks, petroleum evaluation firms and consultants worldwide. AFE Nav® is a secure, electronic AFE system that works on any web-enabled device to optimize AFE workflows, enhance capital management, and control spending. Our all-inclusive, concurrent licensing model includes skilled technical support, ongoing training and regular version upgrades, making Energy Navigator software an excellent value.

A few weeks ago I visited the extraordinarily beautiful, lush and sculptural Drummond Castle Gardens in Crieff, Scotland.
"Drummond has all the characteristics of a courtly, 17th century Scottish Renaissance garden. It is a composite garden, restructured in early Victorian times and renewed again in the 20th century when the garden framework and the exceptional interest of the original 19th century design were carefully preserved."
Looking through the many photographs of the day, it's as if there was no-one else there but me and that's pretty much how I remember it; a mid-week July day in the middle of a Scottish heatwave - extraordinary in itself!
The gardens are so grand and majestic and the weather was so glorious, it could have been any of the great formal gardens in Europe or beyond. In fact, Drummond is on the list with the finest, and I can see why.
Featuring French and Italian influences, Drummond is an eclectic garden with its fountains, terracing, urns and statuary.
These trees particularly transported me to Isola Bella in Italy, while the soft warm grass and flowers were in total opposition to the slush and snow on display when I visited the Gardens of Versailles.
It was so peaceful and serene, and I couldn't help but smile as I wandered, though I was alone.
"A ballad describes the gardens full of "evergreens and flowers…and the waterworks are a' let on..."
Approximately 130 steps lead down into the garden, towards a multiplex 17th century sundial at its centre, however this was unfortunately away for refurbishment on my visit.
A fountain is always a focal point though, while the white statues were so stark and regal against the backdrop of green.
There was a 15-minute woodland walk which I decided not to do, purely because I was wearing inappropriate footwear. I was intrigued by the kitchen gardens however and loved the big glasshouses and cold-frames filled with plants, flowers and fruit.
There was a polite sign asking people not to touch or pick the peaches to prevent bruising and wastage.
Fair enough, but it was tempting. I can imagine how Eve felt in the garden of Eden...
This scene with the wheelbarrow and the hose pipe just struck me as so perfect and beautiful. I love the sense of hidden hands toiling to make this garden beautiful; their tools on display as if the garden itself is an outdoor art gallery, which really, it is.
It's similar here with this beautific statue with the weeds and earth at her feet. The juxtaposition makes it interesting and the colours make it pop.
The buckets destined for the compost heap inject a sense of life and realness into the scene, like seeing the fruits of the effort that go into the maintenance of such a pristine space.
Then there was this tree with eyes. Real eyes it seems, like an old, magical tree. I wonder what stories it could tell from the days of the Jacobite Rising?
Meanwhile, the regimented curves and lines of low-cut hedges created a mini-maze effect, shaped in part like an Aztec eye.
These foxgloves nestled between shady rocks reminded me of those I saw on Arran a few years ago, their abundance so gleeful and cheery. The colour is so special in contrast to the greens of weeds and ferns and moss. It was the perfect goodbye from Drummond Castle Gardens.
Drummond Castle Gardens are open May to October, with no access to the Castle. Find out more & buy tickets.

Development length can be defined as a length of reinforcing bars into embedment of concrete required to develop full tensile strength of them.
This length depends on either splitting or pull-out failure. According to figure 01 the moment is obviously maximum at point a (not considered weight of beam); maximum moment means maximum stress on steel. As the beam is simply supported, end restraint is zero which means zero moment at support. Let's try to analyze this problem.
If the stress in bar at a is fs and area of bar is Ab , the tension force in bars is Abfs; this means, this force has to be transferred to concrete from bar. To transfer this force by bond force, l length of bar is required.
The strength of bar is Abfy; to develop this strength, the length of transferring force, (here l) must be equal or more than development length. If development length is ld, when l ≥ ld , bond failure occur after mobilizing full strength of bar (Abfy) i.e. premature failure is avoided.
Thus, the beam may fail due to other type of failure like shear or bending, but bond failure is restricted.The beam is safe even when local slip is occurred near cracks across small regions on the beams.
Notice that, the main safety requirement for failure due to bond is only length of reinforcing bar. This length from a point of given stress in steel (fs or anything ≤ fy) to nearest free end should be equal or more than development length of it.
Bond force per unit bar length,
Where jd=Lever arm between resultants of compression and tension force.
v= Shear force
If proper development length is provided, magnitude of nominal flexure bond force, as in equation (1), is not very important as integrity of beam is ensured; this is valid even under local minor bond failures.
When actual length provided is not adequate i.e. full development length, however, cannot be provided,special anchorage like by hooks, should be provided.

Monthly Kindle Deals for $3.99 or less each: July 2016
Amazon does the Kindle Daily Deal (at AmazonSmile…benefit a non-profit of your choice by shopping*), which used to discount four books a day (often general fiction, a romance, a science fiction/fantasy book, and a kids' book). Now, it seems like it is generally more books than that, and not categorized.
They also do Monthly Kindle Book Deals for $3.99 or less each (at AmazonSmile)…which is branded this time as "Kindle Summer Reading Deals", but still indicate it will change each month. There used to be about 100 of them, but there are many times that now: 806 at the time of writing…86 more than last month. They are up to 80% off…and breaking the trend of past three months, one of them is more than $3.99…it's $7.99. That's only listed as 50% off…but it does say "up to" 80%, not "at least". Still, based on my headline, maybe I should say there are 805. 🙂
Those prices only apply to the USA, and one weird thing is that sometimes some of the books seem to sell out at that price sometimes (or become unavailable for some other reason).
Another thing is that 430 of them (73 more than last month) are available through
Kindle Unlimited (at AmazonSmile: benefit a non-profit of your choice by shopping*)
Amazon lists that information prominently…and it's now commonly a filter in search results. If they are, then you need to consider whether it is worth buying them…even at these low prices. While they are in KU, you can, if you are a subscriber (and there's a free month available right now), read them at no additional cost. There are, of course, advantages to owning books, especially if you want to re-read them. A book could move out of KU at any time. Even if you think you want to own it, if you are a KU member, you could always read it first to make sure. 😉 I will mark them with KU.

Chapter 3: The search for solutions
For 15 years, North Columbia has waited for its moment.
Community leaders watched as other parts of the city began to flourish. New housing in Waverly. Luxury apartments in Olympia's old mills. Entertainment, nightlife and restaurants in the Vista. Beautification in Five Points.
There was even a condo boom around Williams-Brice Stadium.
And while North Columbia has its modest successes — Elmwood Park, Cottontown and Earlewood, for instance — most of the 40 neighborhoods that make up North Columbia have unrealized potential.
The city has tried. It's invested millions of dollars in a retail center on North Main, renovated the old Eau Claire Town Hall and printing plant and improved its parks. And it's just begun a long-awaited streetscaping project on North Main.
But the challenges are daunting. And it's unfortunate it took the deaths of three people in the heart of Eau Claire to focus attention on this rich, diverse and historic area.
But the urgency is now palpable, heightened by City Manager Charles Austin's assessment that the community, after a series of apartment shootings, is "in crisis."
Maybe now the problems can be addressed:
Security for the apartment complexes, particularly those that have been scenes of violence
More visible law enforcement and community policing
Greater emphasis on lifting the area's public schools out of "failing" status
Targeting of neglected or abandoned houses
Eradicating the tangled undergrowth
Expanding the North Columbia streetscape project beyond the entrance to North Columbia
Community leaders say now is the time to stop talking and start searching for solutions.

Number : Season 25, episode 4 of 4
Which One : Freaky clowns in the psychic circus.
Cast : The Doctor : Sylvester McCoy
Ace : Sophie Aldred
Captain Cook : T. P. McKenna
Mags : Jessica Martin
Ringmaster : Ricco Ross
Chief Clown : Ian Reddington
Stallslady : Peggy Mount
Whizz kid : Gian Sammarco
Nord : Daniel Peacock
Bellboy : Christopher Guard
Morgana : Deborah Manship
Deadbeat : Chris Jury
Flowerchild : Dee Sadler
Bus Conductor : Dean Hollingsworth
Dad : David Ashford
Mum : Janet Hargreaves
Daughter : Kathryn Ludlow
Written By : Stephen Wyatt
Produced By : JNT
First UK Broadcast : 14 December – 4 January 1989.
Length : 4 x 25 minute parts.
Plot : The Doctor takes Ace to visit an inter-galactic 'psychic' circus show. Little realising that the forces behind the circus run it – for evil purposes.
Whats good : Good strong and dark story for McCoy, for a change. Ian Reddington's Chief Clown is an effectively sinister baddie.
Whats bad : Bar the obvious dating, not much else.
Review With Spoilers : Greatest Show In The Galaxy is an effective Who story, about an intergalactic circus which kidnaps its customers, draining their emotions and then killing them. Why the Doctor would want to drag Ace along to the circus, is anyone's guess, as Ace is petrified of clowns!
Talking of the clowns, the presence of evil clowns really help make The Greatest Show In The Galaxy a rather unsettling experience. Especially the Chief Clown (played by Ian Reddington) who masterfully underplays the main villain, with a simply 'taking his leave' swipe of the hand.
He drives about in a hearse with a bunch of creepy robotic clowns for company, using colourful kites to spy on fleeing circus performers and customers.
"What, you found them [circus clowns] funny?" The Doctor
"No, creepy!" Ace
Even Private Frost from Aliens (Rico Ross) gets in on the act here, playing the rapping Ringmaster – who introduces the next circus performer (or victim).
Everything works to good effect here. The mother, father and daughter trio who watch the show without flicker of emotion. The murderous bus conductor robot, who hides aboard his derelict bus and awaits potential victims to come aboard. The dastardly Captain Cook and his werewolf assistant Mags.
The Doctor eventually comes face-to-face with the real power behind the circus; The Gods Of Ragnarok. Who feed on the entertainment like a drug and kill those who displease them.
After escaping, McCoy does a really convincing explosion walk away from the tent. McCoy said later he got a fright at the strength of the explosives used, as he wasn't expecting it to be so strong. Hence McCoy's slow purposeful walk, followed by a thunderclap inches from his head. It still looked good on screen though.
Part 4 attracted a viewing audience of 6.6 million which was the highest of any of the McCoy adventures.
For once, we have a McCoy adventure that just about gets everything right and provides a fitting send off to anniversary season – 25.

Earliest Evidence Of Modern Humans In Europe Discovered By International Team
Modern humans who first arose in Africa had moved into Europe as far back as about 45,000 years ago, according to a new study by an international research team led by the Russian Academy of Sciences and the University of Colorado at Boulder.
The evidence consists of stone, bone and ivory tools discovered under a layer of ancient volcanic ash on the Don River in Russia some 250 miles south of Moscow, said John Hoffecker, a fellow of CU-Boulder's Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research. Thought to contain the earliest evidence of modern humans in Europe, the site also has yielded perforated shell ornaments and a carved piece of mammoth ivory that appears to be the head of a small human figurine, which may represent the earliest piece of figurative art in the world, he said.
'The big surprise here is the very early presence of modern humans in one of the coldest, driest places in Europe,' Hoffecker said. 'It is one of the last places we would have expected people from Africa to occupy first.'
A paper by Michael Anikovich and Andrei Sinitsyn of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Hoffecker, and 13 other researchers was published in the January 12 issue of the journal Science [1].
The excavation took place at Kostenki, a group of more than 20 sites along the Don River that have been under study for many decades. Kostenki previously has yielded anatomically modern human bones and artifacts dating between 30,000 and 40,000 years old, including the oldest firmly dated bone and ivory needles with eyelets that indicate the early inhabitants were tailoring animal furs to help them survive the harsh climate.
Most of the stone used for artifact construction was imported from between 60 miles and 100 miles away, while the perforated shell ornaments discovered at the lowest levels of the Kostenki dig were imported from the Black Sea more than 300 miles away, he said. "Although human skeletal remains in the earliest level of the excavation are confined to isolated teeth, which are notoriously difficult to assign to specific human types, the artifacts are unmistakably the work of modern humans," Hoffecker said.
The sediment overlying the artifacts was dated by several methods, including an analysis of an ash layer deposited by a monumental volcanic eruption in present-day Italy about 40,000 years ago, Hoffecker said. The researchers also used optically stimulated luminescence dating - which helps them determine how long ago materials were last exposed to daylight - as well as paleomagnetic dating based on known changes in the orientation and intensity of Earth's magnetic field and radiocarbon calibration.
Anatomically modern humans are thought to have arisen in sub-Saharan Africa around 200,000 years ago.
Kostenki also contains evidence that modern humans were rapidly broadening their diet to include small mammals and freshwater aquatic foods, an indication they were "remaking themselves technologically," he said. They may have used traps and snares to catch hares and arctic foxes, exploiting large areas of the environment with relatively little energy. "They probably set out their nets and traps and went home for lunch," he said.
While there is some evidence Neanderthals once occupied the plains of Eastern Europe, they seem to have been scarce or absent there during the last glacial period when modern humans arrived, he said. The lack of competitors like the Neanderthals might have been the chief attraction to the area and the reason why modern humans first entered this part of Europe, Hoffecker said.
"Unlike the Neanderthals, modern humans had the ability to devise new technologies for coping with cold climates and less than abundant food resources," he said. "The Neanderthals, who had occupied Europe for more than 200,000 years, seem to have left the back door open for modern humans. "
The ivory artifact believed to be the head of a small figurine, discovered during the 2001 field season, was broken and perhaps never was finished by the person who began crafting it more than 40,000 years ago, said Hoffecker. "This is a really interesting piece," he said. "If confirmed, it will be the oldest example of figurative art ever discovered."
Buried under 10 feet to 15 feet of silt, the artifacts at Kostenki include blades, scrapers, drills and awls, as well as sturdy antler digging tools known as mattocks that resemble crude pick-axes, he said. Mattocks have been found at other Old World sites and the arctic and were used to dig large pits for the storage of foods and fuel, although traces of such pits have yet to turn up at the lowest levels of Kostenki, he said.
Large animal remains at Kostenki include mammoth, woolly rhinoceros, bison, horses, moose and reindeer. A bone chemistry analysis from 30,000-year-old human remains indicates a high consumption of freshwater aquatic foods - either water birds, fish, or both - more evidence for efficient food gathering techniques, he said.
The study also included researchers from the University of Arizona, the Kostenki Museum-Preserve in Kostenki, the University of Illinois-Chicago, Boston University, the University College London and the Institute of Environmental Geology, Climate and Geoengineering in Rome. Research at Kostenki has been funded by the Leakey Foundation and the National Science Foundation.
Except for some early sites in the Near East, the oldest evidence modern humans outside of Africa comes from the Australian continent roughly 50,000 years ago, said Hoffecker, who was awarded an honorary doctorate from the Russian Academy of Sciences in 2006. Several modern human sites in south-central Europe may be almost as old as Kostenki, he said.

Early Upper Paleolithic in Eastern Europe and Implications for the Dispersal of Modern Humans
Science 12 January 2007:
Vol. 315. no. 5809, pp. 223 - 226
DOI: 10.1126/science.1133376
Radiocarbon and optically stimulated luminescence dating and magnetic stratigraphy indicate Upper Paleolithic occupation - probably representing modern humans - at archaeological sites on the Don River in Russia 45,000 to 42,000 years ago. The oldest levels at Kostenki underlie a volcanic ash horizon identified as the Campanian Ignimbrite Y5 tephra that is dated elsewhere to about 40,000 years ago. The occupation layers contain bone and ivory artifacts, including possible figurative art, and fossil shells imported more than 500 kilometers. Thus, modern humans appeared on the central plain of Eastern Europe as early as anywhere else in northern Eurasia.

Setting Up a Simple Percentage-of-Sales Program
One of the easiest and most economical cause marketing programs you can execute is a percentage-of-sale program. Simply stated, a business, usually a retailer, chooses a service or product from which a certain percentage benefits your cause.
For example, say your nonprofit has a partnership with a local chain of three candle shops. You ask them first to do pinups to support your organization, but they balk saying they don't feel comfortable asking customers for money at the register. Plan B: How about a percentage-of-sales program?
Since Valentine's Day is just a couple weeks away, you choose a special lover's candle the business owner is sure will be a big seller. She agrees to give you 50 cents from the sale of each candle sold at her three stores.
The store owner sets up a special display for the promotion and signage at the register to let shoppers know they can celebrate their love while supporting a great cause by buying the candle. Keep in mind that cause products with a percentage-of-sale feature need more promotion — like signage — than a pinup that gets plenty of promotion from the cashier asking customers to donate.
Your cause helps spread the word by promoting the candle store and special cause marketing promotion to your internal supporters and stakeholders, helping to drive additional traffic to the stores.
At the end of the promotion, which could wrap up a couple days after Valentine's Day, the owner tells you how many candles she sold, multiplies that number by $.50, and cuts you a check!

Franco La Russa
Waiting for a kiss
Man standing
"Intimacy is a simple gesture; a hand cupping a face, an arm draped over a welcoming back, the pressing of posterior to groin. These are the moments that Thion's new work explores; the points at which two entities are brought together as one form. The sexuality present in these works runs contrary to current hegemonic values. While society at large may try to censor these tender, human moments that unite us, Thion is unflinching in bringing them to the forefront of his work."
Franco La Russa (aka Thion) is an artist and curator based in London. He grew up in Genoa (Italy), where he got his BA in Fine Art, then moved to Milan where he studied advertising and graphic design, working as an art director and illustrator for various agencies including Saatchi & Saatchi, McCann and Young & Rubican. His craving for a more vibrant, more truly international art scene, eventually drew him to London. Open to any creative projects, he has since exhibited in various group and solo shows nationally and internationally.

The latest YouGov and ASI Brexit poll figures, revealing 2-to-1 support for the EEA option in the case of a vote to leave the EU, have received significant media attention including the front page of the Sunday Telegraph Business section.
The Telegraph reported:
British voters have voiced their overwhelming support for a "Norway-style" arrangement in the event of a decision to leave the European Union that would ensure that the UK could retain its access to the single market.
A new poll, commissioned by the Adam Smith Institute think tank has revealed that support for a deal along the lines of the Nordic country's relationship with the continental bloc outweighs opposition by two-to-one.
The i:
Norway style status wanted: Britons would like to see a 'Norway-style' agreement if the country chose to leave the EU, according to research. More than half of British voters wanted to keep access to the single market after a Brexit, but not be obliged to follow all EU rules, the poll by the Adam Smith Institute found.
A YouGov poll found 57 per cent of Britons believe the Government should consider a deal with the EU similar to Norway's. This would involve retaining freedom of movement and some EU regulations in exchange for full access to the single market.
Just 24 per cent said the option should be off the table if Britons vote to quit the 28-member bloc in two weeks' time. The Adam Smith Institute which commissioned the poll, believes the move would allow a "safe, steady process of disengagement" from the EU.
Executive director of the ASI Sam Bowman said the deal would keep the UK in the EEA, thereby taking "the risk out of leaving the EU, providing the time it would take to come up with a unique British solution".
Bowman added: "Voters recognise that the EEA option is coherent with leaving the EU, with large numbers of Leave supporters saying that they would support this arrangement.
The Guardian reported:
Poll position A YouGov poll for the Adam Smith Institute says 57% of those polled say they would favour the UK moving to a "Norway-style" relationship with the EU in the event of a Brexit vote.
Sam Bowman, executive director of the Adam Smith Institute, said: This would mean keeping free moment of people in exchange for remaining in the single market, and would be a safe way to leave the EU that would avoid major economic risks or disruption.
If Britain did vote to leave the EU, the poll finds, 73% of remain voters think the first priority for the government should be "ensuring free trade with the rest of the European Union". For leave voters, the key issue is immigration, with 73% saying "reducing the amount of EU immigration into Britain" would be top of the government's to-do list.

After six sessions, the results are intensified: your orange-peel skin is smoother, and your figure is reshaped and toned!
Does it hurt?
Although it is intense, a good LIPOMASSAGE should never hurt! Instead, during and after the session, you have a true sense of well-being. If the session is painful, the setting is not adequate. Do not hesitate to speak with your practitioner.
What is ENDERMOWEAR?
LPG ENDERMOWEAR is a clothing specially designed for LIPOMASSAGE. For personal use, it ensures perfect hygiene, and its opaque areas protect your privacy during the treatment. The ENDERMOWEAR's unique composition ensures an excellent grip of the skin for an even more effective LIPOMASSAGE. The suit is available at our clinic.
Do I need to follow a diet along with my LIPOMASSAGE sessions?
It all depends on your weight and your beauty goals! All sorts of diets can help you to lose weight, but rarely where you want to. In addition, cellulite is usually unaffected by even the strictest diets. LIPOMASSAGE specifically targets these stubborn areas. Ideally, your LIPOMASSAGE program will be paired with a varied, balanced diet and regular physical exercise (ex. 30 minutes of walking per day).
Do I need to do anything to get good results? Yes. Drink sufficient amount of water. You will receive information during your free initial consultation on the amount of water your body needs.
What happens to the released fat?
First, sugars and fats are stored by adipocytes in fat tissue. During a LIPOMASSAGE session, the LPG rolls stimulate the lipolysis and activate the fat release. They are thus transformed into a source of energy for the muscles.
Why be active after a LIPOMASSAGE session?
Obviously, being active is recommended for good health – but it also enhances the session results. When you are active after a Lipomassage treatment, the fat that you released during your session is quickly burned off by your body's elevated metabolism.
Do the results last?
Results appear quickly and last. After a program, one session per month is generally sufficient to maintain the effects of the LIPOMASSAGE.
How much does a LIPOMASSAGE session cost?
The price for a 35-minute session is 250 AED. During your assessment, the practitioner will work with you to establish the number of sessions needed and suggest an adequate program. At the end of your first session, you will feel that your skin is smoother and softer, and after six sessions, you will notice the results of LIPOMASSAGE: thinned figure, smoothed cellulite, firmer skin, and reshaped volumes. You may pay for packages of 6 or 12 sessions.

Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disease where the protective coverings of your nerves (known as myelin sheaths) are destroyed. The cause of MS is not completely known but researchers believe a combination of genetics plus triggers such as viruses or other environmental factors such as smoking or lack of sunlight may cause the immune system to attack its own myelin in the central nervous system. Therefore it is considered to be an "auto-immune" disorder, and is usually first diagnosed when you are age 20 to 45 years old. Childhood and late middle age diagnoses of MS are rare. MS affects twice as many women as men and people of Northern European decent are particularly at risk, but fortunately, 85% to 90% of patients with MS are expected to live just as long as their peers.
There are two main types of Multiple Sclerosis: 1) relapsing-remitting MS and 2) primary progressive MS. The difference is evident in the names, but the first form involves "attacks" or exacerbations of the neurological dysfunction with periods of time where your symptoms are absent, where the second form remains the same or progresses continually without any periods of remission. The relapses may be worse over time, or not. Every patient has a different journey through this disease so yours will be as unique as you are.
The most common Signs and symptoms of all forms of MS include (but are not limited to):
loss of body control (usually arms and hands or legs and feet, and occasionally all of these at the same time)
* spasticity in the legs
* numbness, tingling or pins & needles sensations
* double vision
* bladder dysfunction
* constipation
The motility problems can dramatically affect your quality of life, so you may require assistance performing daily task and self-care. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Walking aids and driving ads can be valuable tools to help you be mobile and live a fuller life. Older patients with MS believe they have less freedom and need more assistance than their peers, in addition to having to deal with age-related issues sooner. Older MS patients are more likely to have urinary infections, pneumonia, septicemia, and cellulitis but are also less likely to be diagnosed with heart attack or failure, angina, cerebrovascular disease, diabetes, or lung disease.
There is currently no cure for MS. The drugs that are available are designed to shorten the duration of acute attacks, decrease how often attacks occur, and provide relief to symptoms. Thus far, there is very little research on how health care professionals can better treat older patients with MS. New studies will provide a better understanding of this disease and allow care takers to design better treatments and strategies to target the specific needs of MS patients as they advance in age. The drugs your doctor may try include the following, but remember that there may be a lot of trial-and-error to determine what is the best fit for your unique set of issues.
Corticosteroids (IV methylprednisolone and oral prednisone)
for acute relapses and to shorten the duration of MS attacks
Beta Interferons (Avonex, Betaseron, Rebif, Extavia)
Reduce relapses by 33% and reduces inflammatory lesions by 50% to 80%
Glatiramer Acetate (Copaxone)
Mimics myelin and acts as a decoy
Recommended for patients who cannot tolerate beta interferons
Mitoxantrone (Novantrone)
Suppresses the parts of your immune system that can attack myelin
Natalizumab (Tysabri)
Prevent leukocytes from adhering to their receptors on myelins thus preventing attacks
Fingolimod (Gilenya), first orally administered drug for MS
Blocks the migration of lymphocytes from lymph nodes into the CNS
Dalfampridine (Ampyra)
Oral drug designed to improve walking in patients with MS
Blocks potassium channels on the surface of nerve fibers to improve conduction
In addition to one or more of these meds, most MS patients also use other medications or alternative therapies, so be open to several other opportunities for medication therapy. These Symptomatic Treatments include muscle relaxers, anti-anxiety meds, and drugs for depression, bladder incontinence, fatigue, etc. depending on what the patient experiences. Alternative Therapies include acupuncture, physical therapy, cold therapy, meditation, yoga, cannabis, and some herbals like cranberry, vit. D, and fish oil. All of these have varying results in different patients. Never start any of these without a complete discussion with your physician.
In summary, MS is a condition that has an unpredictable etiology and varied progression but is always debilitating. However, patients can slow progression and manage symptoms with proper diet, exercise, and medication therapy management. The best way to have a full life is to employ a good health care team that includes a physician, pharmacist, physical therapist, and dietitian, as well as anyone else specifically trained in how to help the unique issues of each patient.

Lost wax cast round bumpy pendant with dark patina, rubies and orange sapphires
Dahlia Kanner
A 1996 graduate of Rhode Island School of Design, I live and work in Rhode Island, sharing my studio with my dogs Zeke and Kato.
Obsessed with the tactile world, I have amassed a collection of plant and tree segments, minerals, fungi, insects, skeletons, hives, and photographs of life—both hidden and apparent. From these inspirations I create pieces that carry with them hints of these forms, textures, and moods.
While I do love to make one-of-a-kind conceptual jewelry, my collection now predominantly consists of limited production pieces. I have realized the importance of both making a living and producing pieces that people can connect with, wear, and enjoy daily.
I focus much of my attention on the circle. Rings and round elements inspire me with their continuity, simplicity, and strength. I love making rings—the more textural the better. I do hope you enjoy!

Gulab Jamuns are my absolute favorites!!! If you have a horrible sweet craving and need something sweet instantly you can whip up this goodness..It is so simple to make and of course no hard to eat..This is made with bread, you can use up any leftover bread slices to make this yummy jamuns…You can make this for parties or for kids, this hardly take us anytime to make but the result is pretty impressive..
Bread - 6 slices
Paneer - 5-6 grated
Milk - 1 cup
Sugar - 1 cup
Water - 1/2 cup
Cut off the rims of the bread pieces and dip them in milk. Squeeze off the excess and put it in a blender along with grated paneer.
Pulse it for few times so that it is lump free. Now make small balls out of it and fry them in hot oil in a low flame..
Fry till golden, don't fry it so much or else it wont absorb the syrup. Remove this to a paper towel..
Make sugar syrup by taking sugar, cardamom and water in a sauec pan and bring it to boil.
Boil it for 5 mins untill it reaches sticky stage..
Now pour the hot syrup over the fried jamuns and cover it with a plate or plastic wrap. Let it rest for atleast 3-4 hours before serving.
Serve with icecream or on its own.
A closer look!!!!

2014 is history. It's been a great outdoor photography year - I'm blessed. What makes a great outdoor photography year? To start, both myself and my family all are happy and healthy. Beyond that, the rest was about the experience of the adventure and living life to it's fullest. In brief, here are a few exerts from the past year's adventures, followed by a few photographs and at the end of the blog, a list of 10 things I learned this year.
200,000 individual moments of time were turned into digital data from adventures across the globe; I witnessed extraordinary wildlife action in extraordinary places.
Wore out a couple of Nikon cameras; broke more than $5000 worth of gear - some completely and beyond repair;
I used the third string lens to complete a commercial shoot; trashed a half dozen pair of pants and blew the crotch completely out of one;
left some of my own clothes with people on other continents who would appreciate them more than I would;
sent a 50 inch canvas print of a man and his wife to him weeks after she suddenly passed away - I'm grateful I was there to capture the moments before her passing;
I tossed in the trash three pairs of boots because they were done being useful; logged more than 50,000 air miles and I have no idea how many on my pickup;
pulled thorns out of my legs and ass on two continents;
swam naked across an Alaskan glacial river in the dark with just a headlamp while the gear and guns were left behind;
slept overnight, outside, in a wet down sleeping bag - twice; stood in front of a young man holding an AR-15 . . . for 20 minutes - we did not speak the same language - that was interesting;
I get to live in a place where for at least half the year I can keep ice-cream outside without it melting; watched our kids play violin, and sing during and after school programs; shoveled snow; stacked fire wood;
witnessed the sun come up more than 250 times; and, I'm busy, I can't remember a moment when I did not have something enjoyable and fun to do.
I love my life! Here are more outdoor photographs from 2014:
After all of that, I'd like to share a few things I learned -
1. Stay focused on the goals.
2. Pay attention to details - every singe one!
3. Clean your sensor - often!
4. Have two but preferably three back up plans.
5. Things will go wrong - again.
6. There's time for work, and there's time for play - don't confuse them and don't get too distracted by either one.
8. Most of all, it's a lot better to be happy than it is to be right . . .
9. Success is a team effort, you can't make it alone. . .
10. If you're not making mistakes, you're doing something else very wrong!
If you've gotten this far, thank you. What photographs or adventures do you remember from 2014 and do you have any advise of your own for 2015?
Here's to a happy new year 2015!
Tony Bynum
