The Nigeria Red Cross Society said on Sunday that it had deployed three boats three boats to the riverine areas of Ibaji Local Government Council of Kogi, to rescue trapped flood victims taking refuge on tree tops.
Mr Mustafa Allah-Dey, the Chairman of the state branch of the Society, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lokoja that the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) released the boats for the rescue operation.
Nustafa said that men of the Nigerian Navy and officials of NEMA, SEMA and the state Ministry of Environment were also involved in the operation, adding that many of the victims were said to be in life threatening situations.
He said that the people should be blamed for their present predicament, adding that they failed to heed several warnings to quit their houses to avoid being trapped.
The chairman said that he did not have the figure of exact number of people trapped and that no report of casualties been received as at the time of this report.
He only described the situation in Ibaji as "very terrible".
Meanwhile, the traffic gridlock on Lokoja-Abuja road has become more chaotic with vehicles forming long queues on both sides of the road.
The queue at the Lokoja end of the road has extended to Obajana village, about 15 kms drive to the Lokoja city centre.
Mr Isaac Martins, the Head of operations of the State Sector Command of the FRSC, who confirmed this to NAN, said that there was not much the commission could do to help the situation.
He said the problem was particularly with the small cars, adding that it takes officials and youths assisting them an average of 20 minutes to help a car out of the water.
" Vehicles are moving but they are moving slowly, that is just the situation at hand now,'' Martins said.
He appealed to motorists to make use of alternative roads pending the time the flood would be over. (NAN)

What do you wish for?
As I was walking on a small bridge above a pond of water, I noticed that people had thrown coins into the water to make a wish.
Although I do not know how that tradition ever came about, I am certain that throwing money into water does nothing to help.
What is a wish, anyway?
A hope or desire?
I wish for many things.
Not a bigger house or an expensive car.
Many of the things I wish for I could not bring about.
I wish for a better relationship with someone that I love very much who is within my family.
I wish for the salvation of my unsaved friends.
I wish for good health for people I know who are very ill.
I can do my part in attaining wishes like these.
It will never involve throwing coins into a body of water…
I can work toward being friendly and loving to help a relationship mend.
I can talk to friends about Jesus and what He has done in my life.
I can encourage friends who are ill with cards, phone calls and visits.
But cause someone's heart to change?
God will need to do that.
See salvation come to a lost soul?
God will need to draw them to repentance.
Hear a diagnosis of remission of cancer?
God will have to heal and restore.
There's one more thing I can do besides wish…
In fact, it's the most important thing.
I can pray and talk to God about my hopes.
About my desires.
I can pray for healed relationships.
I can pray for physical healings.
I can pray for the salvation of others.
What do you wish for?
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
—Philippians 4:6-7

Mah Jongg in America
Mah Jongg in America
Introduction and Background
My grandmother was born in Verona, Missouri, moved to Portland, Oregon at an early age, and later ran away to San Francisco where she fell in with a theater troupe and took the literal "slow boat to China." There she met my grandfather, Joe Babcock, who was working for Standard Oil at the time.
I recently became aware of this article she wrote 90 years ago for the The Catalina Islander about her adventures in China and my grandfather's role in introducing Mah Jongg to the United States. He trademarked the name, codified and simplified the rules, and imported Chinese-made Mah Jongg sets to the United States. For a time, it was incredibly popular (Macy's had a Mah Jongg section!).
My grandmother was always a little "loopy" and she demonstrates that here by changing topic halfway through the article to write about bandits (although I think we'd call them "kidnappers" or "terrorists" today).
The "outrage" to which my grandmother referred was the kidnapping of passengers on the Shanghai Express in 1923. (This incident was the inspiration for the 1932 movie, Shanghai Express with Marlene Dietrich.) Lucy Aldrich (see footnote three below) had the presence of mind to bury her jewels and after she was rescued my grandfather helped her find them and dig them up!
Before I turn it over to my grandmother, I should note that Reynolda House in Winston-Salem, NC is having a course on the "Babcock Rules" to the Fascinating Game of Mah Jong starting on August 12, 2014. There is a connection to the Reynolda House as Joe Babcock's brother, Charles, married Mary Reynolds, whose father built Reynolda House.
I've added a few pictures that were not in the original article, although the one immediately below appeared in a related article in the same issue.
From the Newspaper Archive of The Catalina Islander
April 16, 1924
By Norma Babcock[1]
(Mrs. Joseph Park Babcock, wife of the exponent of mah jongg)
Owing to the interest I find everywhere in things Chinese, and the game Mah Jongg and its origin, I shall try to tell the Islander readers a brief story of this fascinating game.
My husband,[2] when but 19, graduated as honor man from the civil engineering class of Purdue University; then entered the Standard Oil class for foreign service. Within six months after his arrival in China be was given the post as manager of the Standard Oil Company's Peking office.
Within the first six months in China he gained a good working knowledge of the Chinese language. In less than a year he was conducting his office without an interpreter. Of course, as we all know, people learn languages much more easily when they are young, and at that time my husband was only twenty years of age.
Even in those early days he went on frequent journeys into the interior. In this way, and because of his knowledge of their language, he was soon initiated into the mysteries of the Chinese tile game. He was always very fond of games such as bridge, and the great American game of poker.
When you add to these an insatiable curiosity, it is easy to see how he became interested in these Chinese games. In Peking, Tientsin, Shanghai, and many other cities of North China and Manchuria, he saw and studied these various games.
Six or seven years ago we were living in the tiny foreign colony in Soochow. There were only twelve people in the community where we lived, but we were only a short distance from the high wall of the Chinese City, which held a population of half a million Chinese.
Situated as we were, in close contact with interesting Chinese people, we had few amusements in our small community of Americans and Europeans. My husband became an expert player and close student of the Chinese game, as it was played in Soochow.
Finally he tried to get the English numerals placed in the corner of the tiles, as you see them today. While there were several small shops where sets of these game pieces were made, not a single workman cared to attempt the making of strange English numbers and letters, which meant nothing at all to them. The Chinese think all of us are a bit queer, anyhow, and to their way of thinking, it was just another mad idea of those weird foreigners, which they would soon forget.
But they did not reckon with the stick-to-it-iveness which is an American characteristic! My husband finally persuaded one of them to try it. It was a great failure, for they had the "E" carefully drawn on the South Wind, the North where West should have been, and many other discrepancies. When told that they were badly marked, and almost all wrong, the outcry, which is characteristic of all Chinese shop keepers, was heard: "Lose money! Lose money!"
After assuring the man that the spoiled tiles would be paid for, he finally consented to try again. After several attempts he eventually succeeded in marking the first set of tiles with the properly placed foreign letters and numerals.
This very man, Wong Liang Sung, is today the acknowledged plutocrat of the mah jongg industry among the Chinese, and I am sure that he offers up daily blessings to the Shades of his Ancestors for one very obstinate American who forced him to change what is known as Chinese "old custom."
Now let me tell you something about banditry: If any of you are planning to visit the Orient, don't let these bandit stories frighten you. Chinese bandits are not such bad people, after all. We have been living for the last three years in the bandit-infested province of Shantung, and but two and one-half hours away by rail from Licheng, which was where the outrage occurred last spring. An express train was derailed, forty or fifty white people taken prisoners, and carried into the hills. Miss Lucy Aldrich,[3] a sister-in-law of John D. Rockeleller, was among those captured. One of the bandits aided her in making her escape within a few days after her capture. She was brought to Tsinan, our home city, where she received medical treatment for her injured feet, as the bandits had forced their prisoners to walk over the sharp rocks when they took them into the hills.
She was accompanied by this Chinese bandit, whom she termed "her bandit." This bandit lived in our servant's quarters for more than a month and it took a little diversion to get him to leave. He complained that he feared to return to his native haunts and fellow-bandits as he really was a lazy fellow—not like the American tramp. He had found a comfortable home and board, so why worry. My husband finally took him on as a night watchman and it took but three days of this type of work to rid ourselves of him. He said it was too much work to walk every hour to punch the time-clock and on the third day he resigned.
(Editor's Note—Mrs. Joseph Park Babcock, who has been feted as the "Mah Jongg Queen" by Pasadena and Los Angeles society for the past few weeks spent Sunday as the guest of Mrs. Miles Overholt.[4] The dainty little visitor will leave for San Francisco the latter part of the week. Mrs. Overholt will accompany Mrs. Babcock to the northern city in the interests of mah jongg publicity.)
1890–1981. ↩
Joseph Park Babcock (1893–1948) went on to attend Yale Law School and became Chief Counsel for General Electric. ↩
Lucy Truman Aldrich (1869–1955) was the oldest surviving child of Sen. Nelson W. Aldrich and Abby Pearce (Chapman) Aldrich. She never married, and lived in the family home at 110 Benevolent St. in Providence for most of her life, but traveled extensively in Europe and Asia. On one trip to China in 1923, she was captured by armed bandits and held for two days before her release. She was an active art collector, especially in the fields of porcelain and Asian textiles. She donated much of her collection to the Rhode Island School of Design's Museum of Art, and was a member of its Museum Committee as well. Her sister Abby married John D. Rockefeller Jr. (This information courtesy of the Rhode Island Historical Society.) ↩
Mrs. Miles Overholt's was born Alma Staheli in Switzerland in 1889 and moved with her family to California in 1919. She headed the publicity department for Catalina island from the 1920s until WWII. She wrote a book called, The Catalina Story and was a correspondent for the Los Angeles Examiner. She died in 1972. ↩

Lending money to a company
A corporate bond is one way for a company to raise money from
investors to finance business activities. In return for your money,
the company issuing the bonds promises to pay you interest at
regular intervals and return the money you've invested on the maturity date.
Corporate bonds generally offer higher returns than cash, government bonds or
bank term
deposits, but less than shares. Corporate bonds are generally less risky
than shares issued by the same company.
By investing in a corporate bond, you are lending money to a
business in return for interest payments.
Corporate bonds can provide regular interest payments
(instalments), which may be fixed or variable (floating) in line
with movements in a benchmark interest rate. These instalments are
known as 'coupon payments'.
Coupon payments are backed by the bond issuer's cash flow or in
some cases, the company's physical assets. See our bonds webpage for more
Buying corporate bonds is different to buying shares in a
company. If you buy shares, you become a part owner of the
business, may receive dividends and will share in any growth in the
company. As a bond holder, you are considered a 'creditor' and your
return is limited to interest payments and the return of the money
you've invested.
A corporate bond is not the same as a government bond, which is
a low-risk investment. See Australian Government
bonds for more information about Commonwealth Government
Securities (CGS), which are issued by the Commonwealth of
A debenture is a type of corporate bond. To be called a
debenture, the bond must be secured against property. A debenture
is always a fixed rate investment. See unlisted
debentures, secured & unsecured notes for more
Some other debt securities are types of corporate bonds, but are
more complex investments and carry higher risks. See hybrid
securities and subordinated notes for more
You can buy corporate bonds through a public offer (the primary
market) or through a securities exchange (the secondary
If you buy corporate bonds through a public offer you will
receive a prospectus and you can apply
directly to buy the bonds. Public offers are usually advertised in
newspapers and financial publications.
Before you invest, read the prospectus thoroughly so you
understand the features and risks of the investment.
You can buy (and sell) some corporate bonds on the Australian
Securities Exchange (ASX) after they have already been issued in
the primary market. If you buy bonds on the ASX you will pay the
market price, which may be higher or lower than the face value of
the bond. You will also pay a transaction fee to your broker.
See how bonds are valued for more
If you are buying corporate bonds on the secondary market, the
prospectus may be out of date. Check the issuing company's website
or the ASX
for the latest information on the bonds.
Here are some advantages and disadvantages of investing in
corporate bonds.
Corporate bonds are generally less risky than shares issued by
the same company. If the company fails and can't pay all its debts,
bond holders generally rank higher than share holders.
Corporate bonds can offer a stream of coupon payments and the
return of the principal on maturity. In contrast, the payment of
share dividends is at the discretion of the company.
The price of corporate bond are usually less volatile than shares for the same
company. Buying shares and bonds from the same company is not diversification.
If held to maturity, and subject to the issuer not defaulting on
the promised repayments, you will receive regular interest
It is possible to design a relatively stable stream of income
from corporate bonds by investing in bonds from different companies
that have different maturity dates.
Corporate bonds are unlikely to give you capital growth as they are generally not
designed to increase in value during the time you have the
If you don't want to hold the bond until the maturity date and
decide to sell it on a secondary market, you may get a lower price
than the face value.
There may also be fewer potential buyers for the bond. This can
be a problem if you need to get your money back quickly.
The return offered by a corporate bond is not the only way to
assess the investment. It's also important to understand the
The main risk with corporate bonds is that you may not receive
interest payments or get your money back if the company issuing the
bonds goes out of business. This is known as 'credit
Consider the business environment the company operates
You can also asses a company's ability to meet its financial
obligations by reviewing the pro forma financial information in the
prospectus (or if you buy bonds after they are first issued, the
company's most recent financial statements). Ideally, the company
should have low levels of debt and plenty of cash to service
Find out the following information about the company so you can
assess its credit risk:
When a company becomes insolvent, its assets may have to be
sold, with the proceeds distributed to everyone who has a stake in
the company. Read the prospectus to see what assets the bonds are
secured against or if they're unsecured. Also check your ranking in
the list of creditors.
This is the risk that the issuer will redeem the bonds early if
interest rates fall and the market price goes up. If this happens,
you will be paid the face value of the bonds (you may have paid
more for them or they may be worth more on the secondary
The prospectus should tell you the circumstances under which
early redemption is possible.
Use this checklist to help you decide whether corporate bonds
are the right investment for you. The prospectus for the bonds as
well as ASIC's guide to investing in corporate bonds will
help you answer these questions.
It's important that you carefully assess the
features, terms and conditions of each corporate bond, as the risks
can vary. Seek financial advice from a licensed adviser if you need
further information or guidance on how corporate bonds can be used
to meet your investment needs.

For over 100 years, the Institute of Medicine of Chicago (IOMC) has made significant contributions to the practice of medicine and the business of healthcare. As a uniquely multi-institutional and multi-disciplinary organization, IOMC provides an independent, neutral forum for the Chicago region's health leaders to convene, collaborate, and contribute to the health of the city.
Twenty-nine prominent Chicago physicians gather on April 22 to discuss the creation of an independent organization that would engage practitioners of the various medical specialties in developing medical and public health activities in the city and establish standards of medical service. The Institute of Medicine of Chicago is born, and incorporation papers are signed by Frank Billings, MD, Ludvig Hektoen, MD, and William Allen Pusey, MD.
The first edition of The Proceedings of the Institute of Medicine of Chicago is published. The Proceedings became an indispensable compilation of medical papers, research, important medical events, and IOMC news. In 1945, The Proceedings was listed in the Index Medicus.
The Institute of Medicine of Chicago implemented the first autopsy survey of Chicago hospitals. A hospital's autopsy rate was a key indicator of its quality of care and IOMC's survey brought this critical data to the public's attention.
IOMC began a study of the office of the Coroner, an elected official with little or no medical background. The study led to a public education and advocacy campaign aimed at changing Illinois law to establish a medical examiner system in the state. Throughout the 1930s and 1940s, IOMC collaborated with the Chicago Bar Association, the Illinois State Medical Society, the Commonwealth Club of Chicago, and other allied organizations in this effort, ultimately succeeding in replacing the coroner with a trained physician medical examiner.
IOMC and other community groups petitioned the City Council to increase emergency public ambulance service. Due to these efforts, the City acquired 14 ambulances, though it restricted their use to accidents, fires, and other catastrophes. The Institute continued to monitor ambulance service and worked with the City Council and Mayor Martin Kennelly in the 1950s to increase the scope of ambulance services to include transportation of sick people.
The Institute worked with the Chicago Commission on Human Relations to encourage hospitals in Chicago to hire African American physicians.
IOMC advocated for the Medical Practice Act. The Act outlawed fee splitting, a practice of kickbacks for referrals among physicians. IOMC helped to bring fee splitting to the public's attention and worked with hospital administrators to end the practice.
IOMC and Rush University Medical Center established the Henry P. Russe, MD, Citation for Exemplary Compassion in Healthcare. This ongoing award demonstrates, as Dr. Russe exemplified, that humanitarianism must characterize the practice of medicine and medical education beyond just science, technology and personal skillfulness, and that compassion was also essential in caring for the health of the citizens of Chicagoland.
IOMC established a partnership with the Portes Foundation, which funds two to three grants each year that target the promotion of health or prevention of disease. To date, more than $765,000 has been distributed. As part of this partnership, IOMC and Portes, through the Portes/IOMC Award for Excellence in Prevention of Disease, also honor individuals in the Chicago metropolitan area who have shown excellence in health promotion through contributions in the areas of disease prevention and the remediation of disability and human suffering.
For many years, IOMC has enhanced the quality of healthcare by recognizing the outstanding contributions of healthcare professionals through its awards program. In addition to the Russe Citation for Exemplary Compassion in Healthcare and the Portes/IOMC Award for Excellence in Prevention of Disease, IOMC bestows the IOMC Public Service Award, the IOMC Humanitarian Global Health Award, the IOMC Recognition Award in Patient Safety, and on occasion, the Lifetime Achievement Award.
In response to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy's seminal report, "To Err Is Human," IOMC established the Chicago Patient Safety Forum. The program ultimately became an official Patient Safety Organization, which allowed it to collect patient safety data. The Chicago Patient Safety Forum became an independent organization in 2010. Today it is known as Project Patient Care, an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to achieving the safest and highest quality health care for all people in Chicagoland.
IOMC hosted the Disparities in Health Conference to address racial and ethnic disparities in healthcare. The issue became a priority for IOMC, and subsequent programs and community partnerships were developed to decrease disparities, most notably through community health worker outreach in partnership with local community health centers.
IOMC became a member of the Illinois Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. Fellows met with legislators, submitted editorials to their local papers, and supported the Campaign's efforts to end gun violence.
IOMC and the Chicago Region Advance Care Planning Coalition launched the "Someone to Trust" advance care planning initiative. The focus of "Someone to Trust" was to overcome the barriers to advance care planning and ensure that completed directives are accessible and honored. "Someone to Trust" and its affiliated organizations trained 200 advance care planning facilitators, provided education and training on advance care planning to healthcare professionals and community volunteers, and spearheaded efforts to make systemic improvements in end-of-life healthcare.
IOMC hosts its first annual State of the Health of Chicago. The program brings together the region's leading health stakeholders and policymakers to raise awareness of the serious challenges impacting the health of the citizens of Chicago, and to explore methods for the health community to collaborate to reduce these barriers to good health.
Through the years, IOMC has sponsored many conferences devoted to important healthcare problems. The Institute convenes an annual healthcare forum that addresses scientific advances in healthcare or significant socioeconomic issues in healthcare. The forum, which features leading health professionals, is open to the public and held prior to the Annual Meeting and Awards Dinner.

Educating All 27 Jan 2017
Martha and Terry are two young graduates from Manchester who are Reclaim Young Leaders and alumni. Educating All stemmed from their experiences of a shared sense of alienation at University coupled with a lack of support. It is a youth led research study that aims to explore the institutional and personal barriers faced by working class students at the top universities in the UK. Research has been conducted and was published in November 2016 and stimulated a great deal of interest. Universities have asked the team to flesh-out the research recommendations to improve recruitment and retention of working class students. Educating All will also widen the dissemination of their report and develop a 'toolkit' for access officers at universities to use when working class students join their institutions.

Co-design for Mental Health 02 Feb 2017
Erika Renedo Illaregi set up Bidean Co-design as a CIC in early 2017. Her idea is to develop and deliver design workshops, during which mental health service users co-design products that help with their symptoms (for example, jewellery that is designed to prevent panic attacks and tablecloths that facilitate conversation during meals for those with communication difficulties). With PHF funding, she will test and evaluate the workshops and develop partnerships with mental health organisations with whom she could collaborate in future to replicate and scale-up the idea. During the course of her idea development period, Erika aims to exhibit the designs to the public as a way of tackling stigma associated with mental health and empowering her participants.
Intergenerational Care - Growing Up and Growing Old Together 02 Feb 2017
Elly Hargreave has been inspired by successful pilots of intergenerational care in a variety of countries. These examples house nursery childcare within care homes for elders. There have been many benefits found to providing daily interaction for elders and nursery aged children. Her initiative is called 'Intergenerational Care UK' @CareAcrosAges on twitter. She is investigating the feasibility of introducing a similar scheme in the UK, hoping to develop a plan to engage interested partners, devising a sustainable business model and securing future investment. The project will benefit from both Elly's personal life experiences of care for elders and young children along with her work in PR and Communications and having previously set up and led a national charity, now in it's 23rd year.
Learning Banks 02 Feb 2017
This idea springs from Christopher Hartworth's personal experience of living with a chronic neurological condition, supported by his professional background in research and development. Christopher wants to create a shared resource where people living with a chronic condition can find solutions to everyday problems: an online, peer-to-peer resource where people can 'withdraw' the solutions of others and 'deposit' their own in an accessible, centralised and easy to use format. Hullabaloo Research CIC, a proactive social research group, was co-founded by Christopher to pursue ventures of this type. With PHF funding Hullabaloo will work with a team of service users create a prototype using one specific condition, multiple sclerosis, and explore the conditions necessary to create and launch a full operational Learning Bank.

I love artichokes. love this post!
How-To: Artichoke 101
It's artichoke season and I'm stoked! I love artichokes! In salads, tossed with pasta, steamed whole and especially stuffed! I'll eat this vegetable anytime and anyway. In a house with a mouse or in a box with a fox (thank you Dr. Seuss)! I obviously have a mild obsession with this flower vegetable (they're the flower of the plant) and so I use them quite often. I always have at least two boxes of frozen artichoke hearts or bottoms in my freezer. That way, I can satisfy my artichoke craving anytime I want!
Now that Spring has officially arrived I've gotten even more excited about artichokes…if you can imagine. That's because they're officially in season and these big green globes are popping up all over grocery stores and farmers markets. And they've been calling my name. Maaaria (of course this is sung out kinda like from West Side Story).
Although still very delicious, whole artichokes take a little time and patience to be prepared. I'll never forget the first time I brought home some fresh artichokes – I was so excited to whip up a fantastic artichoke recipe. Except…I had no clue what I was supposed to do with a whole artichoke. I mean, they're kinda prickly and hard and came with no operating instructions. Um, help?
So I called the only artichoke expert I know – my grandmother. She gave me great detailed instructions and some tips for working with and breaking down an entire fresh artichoke (she's a pro and makes the BEST stuffed artichokes on the planet). And since it isn't the easiest process to remember, I wrote down all her instructions (still have them) and figured I'd share them with you. That way you can enjoy the wonders of whole artichokes too!
- Supplies: fresh artichokes, lemons, sharp knife, kitchen shears, and a small paring knife or spoon.
- Start with fresh artichokes. Need tips for picking out the perfect artichoke? Read my tips here.
- Rinse off your artichokes in cold water. Dry thoroughly. Get out your sharpest knife. Artichokes can be hard to work with, so using a sharp knife will make everything go more smoothly.
- First, slice off the stem right at the base of the artichoke. You can peel this, cook and eat it if you want – or save it for stock. Then slice off the top 1-2 inches of the artichoke. See 3rd picture. Rub half a lemon over the cut parts of the artichoke – this will keep it from browning.
- Then break off all brown and tough leaves around the base of the artichoke. I usually peel off about 2-3 layers of the leaves. See picture 3 and 4.
- Now, take a pair of kitchen shears and cut off the tops of all the leaves. But just about 1/4-1/2″ off of each leaf. You'll notice there are little prickly tops on the leaves and they are NOT fun to eat. So just cut off enough of the leaf to get rid of the prickly bit. See picture 5.
- Now this next step can be done either before or after you cook the artichokes – just depends on what you plan on doing. Either way, you'll need to remove the choke – that's the furry, prickly and often purple center of the artichoke. You can't eat this part. Well…you can, but it'd be bad. It's difficult to remove the choke before cooking. It's much easier to remove it right after you steam or bake them. However, if you plan on stuffing the center of the artichoke, I recommend removing the choke before cooking. You do this by spreading out the leaves of the artichoke to expose the prickly insides. See picture 5. With a spoon or knife scrape out the choke.
- Cook the artichoke! If I don't stuff the artichoke, I put a half a lemon in the center and steam it (see picture 6) until I can pierce through the base easily with a knife – about 25-30 minutes. Serve warm with a garlic lemon mayonnaise or your other favorite dipping sauces!
You tell me! Do you like artichokes? What's your favorite way to prepare artichokes? Do you prefer buying fresh artichokes or frozen/canned?

I wish I had read this before I made artichokes the first time! It was a bit of a disaster. Also painful. :/
I have been too intimidated to try cooking fresh artichokes. Thank you for sharing these great tips, Maria!
What a great post! Incredibly helpful. I've always been too scared to try preparing and cooking artichokes so this will help me finally tackle them. Thank you

Telefon Tel Aviv
This article's lead section does not adequately summarize key points of its contents. (May 2017)
Telefon Tel Aviv is a New Orleans–derived, Chicago-based American electronic music act, formerly comprising Charles Cooper and Joshua Eustis. Since Cooper's accidental death in 2009, Telefon Tel Aviv has continued with Eustis as the sole official member. Eustis is also known for being a member of the most recent lineup of Puscifer and Nine Inch Nails' live performances.[1]

|Years active
|Hefty, BPitch Control, Ghostly International
|Associated acts
|Puscifer, Nine Inch Nails, Black Light Burns, Sons of Magdalene, The Black Queen
|Joshua Eustis
|Past members
|Charles Cooper
Telefon Tel Aviv was formed in 1999 by Charles Cooper and Joshua Eustis, with their first album Fahrenheit Fair Enough, released in the fall of 2001 to positive reviews. In 2002, the group released an EP on the Hefty Records Immediate Action label. In 2004, the duo released their second full-length album, and a compilation album of remixes titled Remixes Compiled in 2007. The group released its third full-length album in January 2009 on the BPitch Control label. Immolate Yourself peaked at #17 on the Billboard Top Electronic Albums chart.[2] In 2016, their debut was re-released with eight bonus tracks.[3]
Since 2011, Eustis has been working on new music. In March 2012, Eustis mentioned on his Twitter account that he was "trying" to work on new Telefon Tel Aviv material.[4] In February 2013, Eustis was announced as a member of the touring lineup of Nine Inch Nails. He was originally slated to tour with band throughout 2013 and 2014.[5] However, on December 5, 2013, it was revealed by Trent Reznor that Eustis was no longer part of the Nine Inch Nails touring line-up, citing only Alessandro Cortini, Ilan Rubin, Robin Finck, and himself as band members during an IAmA on Reddit.[6] Eustis also confirmed this on the official Telefon Tel Aviv website.[7]
Death of Charles CooperEdit
On January 22, 2009, Eustis announced on the group's MySpace blog that Charles Cooper had died. The information also appeared on the band's website: "Charles Wesley Cooper III / April 12, 1977 - January 22, 2009". Two CBS2 Chicago articles about Cooper's death specify that he went missing on January 21 before being found dead.[8][9]
On January 30, 2009, Eustis posted on the group's MySpace blog that all tour plans have been cancelled and the future of the band is uncertain.[10]
On March 22, 2009, Eustis posted on the group's MySpace blog that he will perform on stage with a close friend of the group, Fredo Nogueira.[11]
On July 22, 2009, Eustis posted on the group's MySpace in order to clarify some rumours about Cooper's death, stating that three autopsy reports ruled it was not a suicide but possibly an accidental mix of sleeping pills and alcohol.[12]
Sons Of Magdalene and FutureEdit
On December 9, 2013, Josh Eustis posted on the official Telefon Tel Aviv website that he was going back into the studio full-time, as he was no longer a touring member of Nine Inch Nails and presumably Puscifer as well. In the same post, Eustis stated that he has been sitting on a 95% finished full-length album under the moniker of Sons Of Magdalene, a name previously used for an EP released in 2008. Additionally, the post confirmed that after the record was finished, he would be working on Telefon Tel Aviv full-time.[13] The debut album from the Sons of Magdelene moniker, Move to Pain, was released June 24 2014.
In interviews, Cooper and Eustis have stated that they use the following software: Digidesign Pro Tools, Native Instruments Reaktor/Electronic Instruments 2 XT, Ableton Live and Max/MSP
Additionally, the band has contributed samples to the Native Instruments Synthetic Drums 2 sample library.[14]
For the album Immolate Yourself the band drastically changed their production style, reverting to analog tape and analog synthesizers, claiming this method to "sound more real".[15]

The kindergartners in Mrs. Saunders class have been working on their author study. They have been studying the author Mo Willems. The fifth graders in Ms. Dionisio's class have also been doing an author study. They individually studied an author. Some studied Graeme Base, Virginia Hamilton, Jane Yolen, Allen Say, Cynthia Rylant, and, many others.
On the day we were with our kindergarten buddies, we presented our PowerPoints to our individual buddy. The PowerPoint consisted of a title page, a page for each book, and an about the author page. The page for each book contained an image of the book cover and a selling point for each book. Fifth graders and kindergartners shared two books each, then they read other Mo Willems books from a collection. As a special treat Mrs. Saunders made chocolate chip and sugar cookies to snack on while we read together.

You probably have started to wonder where I have been this week. It has just been really crazy around here. Actually my 1 year old is screaming in my ear as I type. I have actually been really busy getting ready for our 9 day camping trip. We leave in just a few days.
I forgot how much work goes into camping. I just remember the fun relaxing memories I had as a kid. I didn't realize that my parents did all of the work. :) Thanks Mom and Dad! I realize now how much effort they put into all of our camping trips.
I still have so much to do. I have to do laundry tomorrow so that we have clothes to take. At least I have 90% of the food purchased. Just the last minute things to get. Tomorrow we are having a bike hitch put on our van so we can take our bikes with us camping. Why didn't someone tell me that it costs $268 for a hitch to be put on before we bought the bikes. That is crazy. It feels like such a waste of money but we did buy the bikes so that we could take them comping. So we decided to pay the $268 an just get it done.
I bought lots of healthy food for the next 9 days. I really need to stay on track while camping. It is going to be awfully hard. I am so used to eating everything in sight when camping. Those were the good old days. I am definitely going to eat a hot dog over the fire (Hebrew National 99% Fat Free), and a S'more every night I just have to watch everything else I eat. I have to stay away from mindless eating which is so easy to do when camping. I did get healthy snacks like raw almonds, pringles 100 calorie sticks (I love!!), Weight Watcher's coconut chocolate candies (which I ate already :( ), fat free chips, apples, grapes, cantaloupe, watermelon and salad mix. My mom and I are also making chicken salad (for sandwiches), egg salad, tuna salad and broccoli salad all with fat free Miracle Whip. I am also make pasta salad with fat dressing, smart start pasta, turkey pepperoni and 2% cheese chunks.
I think I am going to have plenty of healthy food around. I just need to not eat to much of it and stay away from the TastyKakes and Fudge Shop Cookies. :)
I think I will do fine. It is going to be a lot of work for me taking two kids and a dog camping. I am starting to feel a little crazy at the thought of doing it. I will definitely be burning lots of calories chasing the kids around. We plan to get a lot of exercise in. Between walking, biking and hiking I should have enough points left at the end of the day for a hot dog and a S'more.
It is definitely going to be an interesting week. I just hope I can relax a little bit.
I just realized that I am going to miss my first weigh-in in twenty some weeks. Sorry guys. I will update you when we get back. I really hope the scale likes me that day
What do you like to eat while you are camping? I would love to hear some new ideas.

Good luck camping! It sounds like you are more than prepared, so I'm sure you'll rock it.
By the way, you look wonderful in your latest comparison picture.

Have fun camping. I love smores when camping. My husband was a boy scout and likes to go all out cooking. HE tends to cook steaks and lobsters.

We love foil meals. We pile in lots of different things and just wrap it in foil and throw it in the fire for about 45 mins (give or take) I did chicken pounded really thin once with a little light ranch dressing, FF mexican cheese and potatoes sliced thin. I think salsa would have tasted good on top too. We've done "Campers Delight" as well which is one of my faves. I'll find the actual recipe...lol

"Dave created a very safe environment for me to share my goals and ideas. He's an active listener, so when he asked me questions I knew he cared about what I had to say. Dave has a natural talent for drawing out a person's goals and dreams and then challenging you to head in that direction. I highly recommend him to anyone who has a vision or goal, but is just not sure how to get there, to those who feel stuck and need a great partner for plotting and navigating a course for positive change."

Gita Menon is a bubbly energetic lady who exudes confidence and strength. A born entrepreneur, she has ventured into a field which was, until recently, purely male dominated. Gita is into real estate and does it single-handedly.
Eldest born of three sisters, Gita's father was an industrial consultant. Even though she had her heart set on pursuing medicine as a profession, her father late Mr. P.N.S.Panickar, wanted her to be an entrepreneur. "He has written a book on small scale industrialists"- smiles Gita nostalgically. "My dad is my hero. It was from him that I learnt business ethics"- explains Gita.
At twenty one years of age, she majored in foreign trade from Madras University and commenced working with her father in his industrial consultancy firm. He moulded her and Gita being a quick learner, easily grasped the ropes of the business. Gradually Gita started working for a garment exporter and continued for four years. She became an expert on production, technical and marketing aspects of garment exporting.
Thus, she started her own garment export business and did extremely well, but unfortunately, she suffered a major set back. "I made a loss because of non payment by a client, but not to be outdone, I got back on my feet pretty soon, by undertaking orders for local stores."
Meanwhile, Gita's husband shifted base to Africa and she accompanied him there. While in Africa, Gita headed a travel company BTC for two years and enjoyed the experience immensely.
After returning to India, Gita decided that she had had her fill of production and decided to venture into real estate. "Initially, it started off as a hobby and I was buying and selling property here for my friends settled abroad. But now, I have got into it full time."- Smiles Gita.
Gita got to be busier during the US meltdown." The NRI's sold their property in India to pay off their debts there, but they too were able to make a good profit, despite the debts they had to pay off"- assures Gita. For her, the US meltdown was truly a blessing in disguise as she had good contacts abroad. She did all the selling and buying for her friends settled abroad and she continues to do so still. In fact, she has a good client base at New York.
"I love what I am doing. It gives me more freedom, time on my hands and its extremely challenging too. It turns out to be more challenging when I have to tackle larger properties. This is so because, for large properties, I have to take care of documentation too I need to be extremely careful of fraudulent deals. I need to be careful because some people are prone to indulge in fraud since they are able to duplicate papers and try to sell off properties that do not belong to them"-explains Gita patiently.
She has to be on her toes and be alert always. "When I smell a rat, I don't take up the project. I handle projects where I personally know either the buyer or the seller, or also, if it is certified by someone that the project is indeed worthwhile to take up. People keep coming back to me and my friends too refer me to their friends and family, since they know that I get the best deals for them"- Gita.
Gita's modus operandi is simple and straightforward. Either the project is brought to her, or someone spells out their requirements. For instance, if a person comes to her and states that he needs a hundred acres of land, she undertakes all the sourcing for it. All the groundwork too is done and Gita has a good network of brokers to assist her.
"In India, real estate is not recognised as a course of study. Indian public is not aware of the advantages of a mandate, unlike in the US.. Real estate is the right choice for people who love to travel .That is very important. You need to go and inspect the property personally "-Gita.
Gita is more interested in handling commercial properties. Apart from servicing friends, family and existing clients, she does buying and selling for factory land, houses, and commercial properties.
"Real estate is my passion. I have been into this single-handedly since June 2007. I aspire to service every customer to the best of my abilities and satisfaction. Maybe, if there are parts or portions of land to be sold on the moon, I would willingly take it up-"Gita chuckles with a twinkle in her eye.
Here is a multi faceted personality who is a joy to associate with. Gita is the treasurer of Chinmaya Mission, Chennai and also the co-coordinator of Chinmaya Vidyalaya, Thirupathi. She is also the Director of the Chinmaya Institute of Management, Chennai Chapter. Hats off to you, Ma'am!

Today I've discovered about the existence of the Ubiquity project, but no, not Ubuntu's installer – this Ubiquity, from Mozilla Labs, is a really curious plugin for Firefox.
Ubiquity allows you to execute web related actions by writing commands with a natural syntax, in a way somewhat similar to Gnome Do. I'm not going to show any example because I can't find a good way to explain all of it's potential, other than "try it yourself" (ah, and pointing to the video here).
You like it? Great; here is some good news for those of you involved with new applications packaging: Thanks to the efforts of Olivier Girardot and Jonathan Winandy there is now a "revu" command which will show you the last comment for any package and open its details page in a new tab if you press [return]. And for those who want to be notified of new comments instead of hunting them down, I remember that there are also personal/package feeds available since a while.

Conflict in Ukraine is not driven by differences in language, despite media claims.
These are the findings of a new report by peacebuilding organisation International Alert and the Ukrainian Centre for Independent Political Research (UCIPR), produced with funding from the EU.
The report, titled Russophone identity in Ukraine, found that Russian-language speakers or Russians in Ukraine do not, on the whole, face problems with their language or identity and that neither of these are key drivers of the conflict.
The question of the future of the Russian language however, and its speakers in Ukraine remains extremely sensitive, open to political manipulation and potential future tension, the report adds.
It found that Russian-language speakers or Russians in Ukraine do not, on the whole, face problems with their language or identity and that neither of these are key drivers of the conflict.
The question of the future of the Russian language however, and its speakers in Ukraine remains extremely sensitive, open to political manipulation and potential future tension, the report adds.
Alyona Lukyanchuk, spokesperson for International Alert in Ukraine, says:
"The conflict in Ukraine has now entered its third year. Too often, people claim that a clash of linguistic and ethnic identities sparked the conflict. Our research shows the opposite, that on the whole Russian and Ukrainian speakers have been living and continue to live peacefully side by side.
"However, the language issue has been highly politicised and sadly, we are seeing incidents of it being used to stir up tensions. We must address this as part of the reconciliation process in the country."
Language has been on Ukraine's agenda since independence in 1991, when Ukrainian replaced Russian as the official language. There has since been a gradual increase in the number of people, including ethnic Russians, who speak Ukrainian, and several government policies aiming to broaden its use.
Russian nevertheless continues to be widely spoken, especially in the south and east.
The study found that most Russian speakers in Ukraine do not face discrimination and have opportunities to learn, communicate and share information in their native language. As a teacher from Kherson in southern Ukraine, just north of Crimea said:
"I teach Russian language and literature…and I teach in Russian. In 35 years of my work, I have never been discriminated against on the grounds of language."
A Russian-speaking respondent from Kharkiv in eastern Ukraine said:
"The Russian language is not discriminated against and does not need to be protected."
By contrast, respondents noted there was still a shortage in Ukrainian-language cultural materials in parts of Ukraine, including the capital, Kyiv - a legacy of the language policy of the Soviet Union, which prioritised Russian.
The report also examines different attitudes to the conflict among Russian-speaking Ukrainians, including those who disassociate themselves from the policies of the Russian government. A Russian speaker from Odessa, southern Ukraine, pointed out there are many such attitudes within the Russian-speaking population:
"Russian speakers are different. There are pro-Ukrainian Russian speakers, Russian-speaking Ukrainian nationalists, Russian-speaking Ukraine-phobes and fervent Russian-speaking separatists."
The report sets out a list of recommendations for reducing potential tensions relating to language, which include protecting the rights of both Ukrainian and Russian speakers, developing multilingual educational methods and combatting hate speech, irrespective of the language used.

- Ethnic Russians are the largest ethnic minority in Ukraine (17.3%), mostly living in the southern and eastern regions (Ukrainian national census, 2001).
- 50% of Ukrainians consider Ukrainian to be their native language, 29% consider it to be Russian and an additional 20% considered themselves bilingual. 1% are native speakers of Romanian, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Hungarian, Polish and other languages (RATING, 2012).
- Before the rise in tensions in late 2013, and the outbreak of the violent conflict in February 2014, there was little mention of violations of the rights of the Russian-speaking population in Ukraine in sociological polls and official data.
- In 2014, the Ukrainian parliament repealed a controversial law passed in 2012 that allowed the use of 'regional languages' – including Russian - in courts and certain government functions.
- Interim President Oleksandr Turchynov has since vetoed that repeal, but the episode has alarmed many of Ukraine's Russian speakers and others.
- On 1 March 2014, the political leadership of Russia used the protection of Russian speakers and ethnic Russians in Ukraine as one of the official reasons for the annexation of Crimea.
- In April 2014, a poll from the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology showed that 71.5% of respondents across southern and eastern Ukraine did not agree that Russian language rights were infringed upon.
- At present, a new draft law is under consideration in the Ukrainian parliament aims to reaffirm Ukrainian as the official language of the country. It does not prohibit Russian or any other language.
- Since its start in February 2014, the conflict in Ukraine has resulted in almost 10,000 people killed (OHCHR) and just over 1.7 million people internally displaced (Ukraine's Ministry of Social Policy). A further estimated 777,000 Ukrainians have fled to areas outside Ukraine.
- Although fighting has decreased in the predominantly Russian-speaking eastern Ukraine since a ceasefire agreement in 2015, it still occurs regularly. Military and civilian casualties occur each week. More than 30 people are believed to have died in the latest surge of violence between 21 January and 3 February 2017.

Schools should administer an extra, domestically decided evaluation (accepted by the state division of education), and scores from that test will supplant the state check out derived progress score in a teacher's analysis. Many of these establishments are occupied with your social safety quantity (i.e. entry to Pell Grants and scholar mortgage cash) and never much else.

As he states, Devin Quirk, director of operations at Boston's Department of Neighborhood Development, mentioned the town would facilitate partnerships between schools and personal builders to construct new dorms, with quite a lot of faculties agreeing to lease all or parts of the buildings."

Need I say more?
Yesterday (Nov 18, 2011) was not a day I could say I was proud in being a graduate students at UC Davis. Read here for more what went down and how Chancellor Katehi responded.
Knowledge behind paywalls and glass doors
People want to know things (biased or unbiased). This quest over time led to the development of what we call: science, the systematic enterprise that build and organizes knowledge (according to wikipedia).The 19th century 'scientist' was a man with enough wealth (or his family's wealth or to paid by a very wealthy individual) to support …

The Philadelphia region currently has several hundred miles of trails and spurs, where hikers, runners and bikers can travel along the Schuylkill and Delaware Rivers, the Wissahickon and its tributaries, and the Pennypack and Perkiomen creeks.
So does it need one more in Northwest Philadelphia?
"That's like saying you've got Germantown Avenue here, why do you need Stenton Avenue there?" explained Susan Dannenberg, board chair of the Friends of the Cresheim Trail, a nine-mile project already many years in the planning and building stages. "What cities are doing now is branding an entire trail system. You want to be able to connect, you want to get places, you don't just want to have isolated trails. While they will get used locally, the idea is to create a network."
The all-volunteer Friends group dates back to 2007, when a feasibility study looked at how to connect the Wissahickon communities to Springfield, Whitemarsh and Cheltenham townships in Montgomery County. The concept for the trail goes back further, according to local folklore, to proposals first raised by the Chestnut Hill Rotary.
Dannenberg, a Mt. Airy resident who studied city planning and transportation and worked as a customer advocacy officer for SEPTA, joined the Friends in 2011. The group created bylaws and began seeking nonprofit status. "In addition to monthly work days and newsletters, we have set our efforts on getting the organization to build its institutional capacity so we can start soliciting grants and moving this trail forward."
A mile and a half of the Cresheim Trail is already well traveled by walkers and mountain bikers, from the point where Lincoln Drive dead-ends at Allens Lane through a woodsy path to Cresheim Road. By the end of this fall, the Friends say the trail will extend to the defunct trestle over Germantown Avenue, with a spur down to the street.
"The next phase is here," where Mt. Airy and Chestnut Hill meet, said Friends board member Charlie Karl, a Springfield Township resident.
But that long-unused railroad bridge, over one of the busiest intersections on the avenue, is a current stumbling block for the Cresheim Trail.
Deal Collapsed
The work achieved by the Friends group so far has been "pretty much sweat equity," Dannenberg said. But having achieved 501c3 status, the group applied for public grants last December to tackle the work needed on the former Pennsylvania Railroad trestle. PECO, the owner of the bridge, wanted to transfer the liability for the structure and was offering it to the city of Philadelphia's Department of Parks & Recreation for $1.
The deal fell through last month, when the City Attorney's Office recommended against the transfer.
"What the Parks department didn't realize was that the procurement process involved more departments than just them," Dannenberg said. "It had to go through other people, and the other people wanted hard numbers: What exactly is the liability? Are there environmental hazards? Are there structural hazards? They were saying, we're not going to take on any structurally deficient bridge. We have plenty of those in our inventory already."
The Friends' mission now is "to get those numbers and get the bridge in good shape. That's going to be complicated because we don't own it. We hope that the kind of political support and public support that we have, and the eagerness of PECO to divest themselves of this bridge" will result in a solution.
When it looked like the PECO deal was imminent, the Friends raised $10,000 in pledges to match their grant application. "That's the kind of public support we have for this," Dannenberg said.
Developer Ken Weinstein has hiked the completed portion of the Cresheim Trail with his son to the family's Trolley Car Diner on Germantown Avenue, which practically sits in the shadow of the trestle. He has offered $5,000 toward a safety study of the bridge and is waiting for a go-ahead from the city before the environmental study is launched.
The completion of the trail over Germantown Avenue will bring residents from both directions to his restaurant, which he plans to expand next year.
"PECO is in a position now to say, if you're not taking the bridge, we're not going to give you the right of way," Dannenberg said. "Nobody knows if they'll allow the right of way to be leased out without transferring ownership of the bridge. We hope that they will."
The bridge was built to bear the passage of two locomotives, and it only ever carried one, Dannenberg said, noting its stone block base and iron infrastructure.
The presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) is always a concern with electric railroads, Dannenberg noted, but the line over Germantown Avenue had not been electrified since the 1950s. "In the intervening 60 years, are there PCBs still existing? As far as the bridge is concerned, there is only planking on one side. There's nothing else there. I don't understand where the PCBs could be." Adding a trail will pack soil over the surface, "so I'm not sure what the concern is."
A Key Connection
Continuing the Cresheim Trail over Germantown Avenue would connect the already closely tied communities of Mt. Airy and Chestnut Hill. "There's a lot of interplay between the two, but there's no way that you can walk or bike safely between them," Dannenberg said. "There are four connections, but they're all high-speed roads."
The Germantown Avenue route, in particular, is "a high-adrenalin drive" by bike, Karl said. "The few times I've walked on it, I had to flatten myself along the side of he road."
Once the Cresheim Trail is extended over the avenue, there is a straight, sylvan stretch toward Stenton Avenue and Springfield Township. Arcadia University has expressed interest in developing a spur linking the trail to the campus.
The proposed trail would continue toward Fort Washington Park and connect with the sprawling, preserved sections of Erdenheim Farm. It would pass two high schools and provide gentle access to a library, Karl said. It would also provide access for many small communities with street grids that are bicycle-friendly. "When I think of trails, I think of what they mean in terms of not only physical health, but also social health – tying together communities," said Karl, a recently retired school social worker.
The goal of the trail system, Dannenberg said, is for residents to be able to leave their home and travel for 10 miles in any direction without having to use streets. "It's about access to green space, access to shopping, to recreation and transportation. The bicycle, particularly in Philadelphia, has become part of the transit system... We are a biking city."
The planning for the Schuylkill Trail, frequented by bikers, walkers, runners and strollers, began back in the 1970s, Dannenberg noted, and it took 40 years for the completion of the first sections. "When it comes to building trails, you have to have patience."

If you are looking for the one universal ergonomic office chair that works for everyone, think again, because such a chair does not exist.
