Chicago Best & Worst Brunches of 2015
How the year has flown by! We officially launched in Chicago with the addition of our two tremendous Windy City editors, Allison and Alexis. Together, they are exploring the variety of vibrant neighborhoods and brunching at some of the best restaurants this food-centric city has to offer.
They've also met a crew of smart and savvy fellow bloggers, attended fantastic events, and mingled with like-minded Chicago foodies. Not to mention they've had the pleasure of connecting with some of our Chicago readers, which has been especially rewarding.
In 2015, the Chicago team brunched at more than 50 restaurants. As we wrote this recap, we would be lying if we said we weren't feeling super nostalgic about the year. We have made lifelong connections and bonded over mimosas by way of brunching and Bitching.
Some of us are Chicagoans by birth, and some of us are totally new to this city. Regardless, together we have been able to explore all it has to offer through many different lenses. We are discovering all 70+ Chicago neighborhoods one bite at a time, and we're really excited to share it with our readers.
2016 is upon us and we have only started to make our mark on Chicago. Read our New York Best & Worst here and our Washington, D.C., Best & Worst here. We look forward to continuing this epic eating adventure with you!
The Best
Best Family Brunch: Southport Grocery A quaint, quiet shop that is nestled in the Southport Corridor, Southport Grocery is the perfect place to take your family for a well-balanced brunch. Waits are long but that doesn't stop people from coming in and dining here regularly.
Best Weekday Brunch: Kanela Cafe
With locations all over the city and with it open every day, Kanela Cafe, is the perfect place to enjoy a weekday brunch with family, friends, or guests from out of town. Their locally sourced and primarily organic menu will be a hit for everyone!
Best Brunch for Seafood Lovers: Hampton Social
Craving seafood for brunch? Then you best head to our favorite themed restaurant, Hampton Social. With their seafood variety and creative incorporation of seafood in their cuisine, this is a go-to for seafood lovers.
Best Ambiance: Presidio
With cozy decor, dim lighting, and exposed brick walls, Presidio is the place to dine when seeking a laid-back, comfortable dining experience that doesn't leave you shouting across your table to your friends. So, grab your friends, or go on a brunch date and you won't be left disappointed.
Best Decor: Nellcote
Looking for glitz and glamour? You'll find it at the upscale European inspired restaurant, Nellcôte in the West Loop. Even the bathrooms are très cute. The opulent atmosphere is filled with crystal chandeliers, a rich color palette and cozy velvet tufted couches. The decor is so well done, you'll feel as though you've been whisked away to Paris. We love this spot for a romantic brunch date or an upscale ladies brunch.
Best Brunch Date Brunch: Chopping Block
We really enjoyed making our own brunch and then enjoying the fruits of our labor at a cooking class at the Chopping Block. We highly recommend for a fun brunch date.
Best Fancy Brunch: Summer House Santa Monica
Summer House Santa Monica is a beautiful restaurant with an upscale and modern menu; it is the kind of outing you want to dress up for. We loved dining here and felt really fancy when doing so. It is the perfect place to show off to your knowledge of chic places to friends visiting the Windy City.
Best Patio: Chop Shop
Chop Shop doesn't have a skyline or Lake Michigan view, but it does have a pretty stellar private patio nestled in the heart of Wicker Park. Surrounded by beautiful brick buildings and littered with bright yellow vintage chairs, Chop Shop truly does have a picture perfect patio to enjoy a long summertime brunch.
Best International Brunch: Takito Kitchen
Takito Kitchen's two locations in Chicago—the West Loop and Wicker Park—are fabulous spots to find International brunch flavors. They don't boast the breakfast classics like eggs and pancakes, but they do have a huge variety of authentic yet modern Mexican dishes to choose from during brunch hours.
Best Winter Brunch: Mindy's Hot Chocolate
Mindy's Hot Chocolate in Bucktown is our favorite spot for a cozy, winter brunch. The reason may be obvious, but we can't describe enough how amazing the hot chocolate truly is. Try it for yourself paired with their seasonal farm to table brunch menu, you won't regret it this winter!
Best Meats Brunch: Smoke Daddy
Smoke Daddy puts a meaty twist on brunch classics. From their pulled pork Benedict to their classic BBQ platters paired with house-made sauces, you can't go wrong with Smoke Daddy for smokey, heavy brunch flavors. Also one of our favorite spots for a game-day brunch!
Best BYOB Brunch: WHISK
The wait at WHISK in West Town may be hefty, but the pancakes and BYOB policy are worth your precious time. Carbo-load over mimosas with their decadent pancake flavors and you'll be feelin' good all day long. Bonus: It's right across from a Mariano's in case you forget the booze!
Best Group Brunch: Old Town Social
Looking for a spot to bring a big group? Whether you're celebrating a birthday over brunch or looking to watch a big game, Old Town Social is ready to accommodate. With a new brunch menu this year, bring your group here for a fun day in classic Old Town.
Most Instagramable:The Winchester
The Winchester is beautiful inside and out and so is the food that comes out of the kitchen. With pristine presentation and Eggs Benedict that looks like the one above, who can resist hashtagging that! #brunchgoals
Best Cafe: Bite Cafe
So much more than just a cafe, this award goes to Bite Cafe. Serving a fun breakfast menu daily, in addition to weekend brunch, this is the perfect spot to start your day with a coffee fix, and hang for a few hours into lunch. The food is delicious, they are more than just a cup of joe. Lovely Cafe was a close second. We have brunched at plenty of great java spots, so this choice wasn't easy.
Best Sports Bar: Replay Andersonville
If we had to go one place and hang out all day to watch sports, we would hope it was somewhere like Replay Andersonville. Their food is awesome, but their space is equally as good. With TVs everywhere it is perfect for the sport fanatic, but it's friendly arcade ambiance as well as it's diverse crowd make this the perfect place for anyone to hang out all day on Sunday during football season.
Best Hipster Brunch: Trenchermen
Self proclaimed hipsters tend to know the best low key places to dine and drink, they just don't like to share! Thankfully we know where to go and we are happy to tell others! Trenchermen, located in the heart of Wicker Park, is chic restaurant with a modern menu is the perfect place for hipsters and non-hipsters alike.
Best Party Brunch: Headquarters Beercade
Brunching with friends is always fun, but if you really want a good time with your group, Headquarters Beercade is where it at! Large rooms perfect for bigger groups, fun drinks and an envious beer list make this place perfect for a Sunday Funday, but what really makes it a good time are the walls lined with vintage arcade games—did we mention they're free?
Best Bakery: Baker Miller
While West Town Diner has amazing doughnuts, and Lovely Bake Shop has delicious pastries and desserts, Baker Miller is a step above the rest with their breads, and other grain-focused selections. Best bread in the city so far.
Best No-Frills Brunch: Nookies
We appreciate a no-frills brunch almost as much as we enjoy a fancy all-frills brunch. With mom and pop shops all across the city, there are so many great in-and-out joints to choose from. Nookies did a great job getting us full; you are in and out and satisfied.
Best Brunch-to-Lunch: Replay Andersonville
We had to make an award for this category, because there are some people who are not as enthusiastic as we are about breakfast foods. Replay Andersonville get this award for having equally fantastic lunch items on the brunch menu. They have gazpacho on the menu, for crying out loud, it is is really good.
Most Affordable Brunch: Standard Market Grill
We wouldn't change anything about our dining experience at the Standard Market Grill in Lincoln Park. We all left full, and for no more than $20 per person. Affordable and delicious, so the Bitches say Yes.
Best Overall: Lula Cafe
Lula Cafe wins this category. From the service, to the decor, and of course the amazing food, we just love this Logan Square gem. This is one spot we could eat at again, and again, and again.
The Worst
Worst Decor: Batter and Berries
While Batter and Berries may wow us with their lobster eggs Benedict, we were less than impressed with the interior decor presented in the restaurant. Harsh yellow walls and what appears to be randomly selected artwork on their walls is not our style, but they certainly have great food.
Worst Bang For Your Buck: Yolk
Whenever you think 'diner', most of the time reasonable prices come to mind, right? Well, when it comes to the diner staple, Yolk, you'll find nothing but diner food at higher prices.
Most Likely to Improve: Hampton Social
While Hampton Social got our Best Seafood Lovers Brunch award, they best make haste and remedy some of their service issues. When Hampton Social had their grand opening, they were the hottest thing since lobster deviled eggs but reviews regarding their service were less than admirable. Hopefully they work out the kinks and maintain their current direction.
Most Gimmicky: Hash House A Go Go
The closest thing the Gold Coast has to a tourist trap is the king of all portions, Hash House A Go Go. Part of their whole deal is to serve outrageous portions but slightly elevated prices because hey, it costs more to make one big 16" pancake than it does to make 10 normal sized ones, right? Not really.
Longest Wait Time: WHISK
We love WHISK, but we don't love their long wait times. Caused by a combination of a tiny space and a BYOB policy that everyone loves, get here early or don't come at all. Although their brunch is worth the wait, we hope they can expand in 2016.
Worst Brunch Attempt: Takito Kitchen
We loved the authentic Mexican food at Takito Kitchen, but we didn't love their lack of brunch options. The menu feels like lunch, leaving you missing the classic breakfast dishes like a hearty scramble or sweet French toast. Takito Kitchen knows what it's good at, we can at least appreciate that.
Biggest Letdown: Belly Q
We were really excited to brunch at Belly Q, the contemporary Asian hot spot in West Loop, and we were really disappointed when Brunch left more to be desired. Complicated menu items and cold food made this brunch experience a serious let down, not to mention an inattentive wait staff. We might go back for dinner, but we won't be recommending this spot for brunch anytime soon.
Lack of Creativity: Nookies
While we enjoy the no-frills aspect of Nookies, they do lack a little creativity. This place does a great job with breakfast dishes, but eggs aren't that difficult. You can expect simple breakfast dishes like sandwiches and pancakes. Not a whole lot to choose from.
Worst Overall: Orange Restaurant
When it comes to bad decor, lackluster food, and leaving you disappointed all around, you have Orange Restaurant in Lincoln Park. After reading all the reviews on this restaurant, we were shocked to have it be so ho-hum.

In northwestern Italy, on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, the 16th and 17th century "New Streets" of Genoa can be found in the historic city center. Le Strada Nuove and the system of the Palazzi dei Rolli became an inscribed UNESCO site in 2006. The elaborate Renaissance and Baroque palaces are located on Via Balbi and Via Garibaldi and present an excellent "Buon Natale" holiday experience.
The area around the Cathedral of San Lorenzo is medieval, but the 12th century Duomo is Romanesque. Genoa is Italy's most important commercial port. The "Lanterna" lighthouse is a vestige of Genoa's medieval glory. Genoa has the largest aquarium in Europe located in Porto Antico www.portoantico.it. Porto Antico also has a Childrens' Museum with a lovely waterfront Promenade and shops. The restaurants offer outstanding "Vino con Vista" oppotunities.
According to legend, this may have been the childhood home of Christopher Columbus whose memory permeates the town. Genoa's historically impressive "urban development projects represent plans by the public authority to parcel out a system of lodging based upon legislation." UNESCO
On Via Garibaldi, Genoa's most beautiful street, the 16th century Palazzo Bianco houses an outstanding collection of Ligurian art from 1400 to 1700 including works by Luca Cambiaso, Bernardo Strozzi and Giovanni Benedetto. At the Palazzo Bianco, one of my favorite Caravaggio's paintings "Ecce Homo" (Behold the Man of Sorrows) can be viewed; as well as frescoes by de Ferrari and Domenico Piola. The Gallery of Palazzo Rosso has a fine collection of furniture, ceramics and Chinese pottery. The Museum of Oriental Art houses treasures brought to Genoa by her famous navigators.
The "Rolli" palaces were patrician residences built by the wealthiest and most powerful aristocratic families of the Republic of Genoa. These dwellings were built at the height of Genoa's seafaring prowess. Palaces are generally three to four stories high and feature spectacular staircases, courtyards, and loggias overlooking gardens. The owners of these palazzi were obligated to host official visits of State as decreed by the Senate in 1576. These formal visits contributed to the dissemination of their architectural model, which attracted famous artists like Peter Paul Rubens.
Holiday Events in Genoa:
Christmas Market "Mercatino di Natale di Porto Siberia" at Porto Antico until January 9th
18th Century Navity Scene in Palazzo Rosso Museum until February 6th
St. Nicholas Market in Piazza Picca Pietra where vendors will be dressed in Medieval costumes December 5-23
"Natalidea" Festival at the Fiera di Genoa from December 7-19
"Pontedecimo Nativity" wIth outdoor Christmas stalls and Nativity Scenes at the Villa Serra di Comago on VIa Carlo Levi in Genoa Pontedecimo

Last week, I finally got around to transforming my new desk space at home into an actual office space for me to work. Let me tell you- it feels amazing.
My family has had this black desk for years and years- since I was little. It used to be natural wood with tons of writting all over it, because that was, like, cool when we were 12-years-old. But when I went off to college I wanted it to look a little bit more professional. Enter: black paint. It actually covered most of the scribbles and notes on the desk pretty well. I stopped using it after I graduated and sent it home. But now that I'm back home, guess what's back in my life? The oldest desk in the world!!! (That is a fact. Don't you dare tell me there are desks older than this one. It's from the 80s, guys!!!)
Enter: my big pile of crap!!!! I basically just added everything from my old desk at work to make me feel more comfortable in my work space. I had a HUGE toy collection on my old desk that essentially just told everyone who walked by that I'm secretly a 5-year-old. I had to cut down my display to fit on this desk because it's a lot smaller, but I think it was necessary. All of my faves made the cut, including an Anthony Green kazoo, Wolverine Happy Meal Toy, Harmonica from Duane Reade and a Circa Survive hacky sack. Just enough whimsy to make me feel at home. I also taped up my old Instax photos, and photobooth photos just like on my old desk. It's nice to have some friendly faces on my desk while I'm studying.
Finishing touches were my favorite photo from the Circa Survive Alternative Press issue, where Anthony and Brenden are dressed up as chick's. (Hi, obsessed much? Whatever- everyone has their favorite bands!) Threw in some Robert Francis and Death Cab for Cutie vinyl to spruce it up a bit, and then.... my greatest accomplishment ever. I MADE SOME ART, DUDES!!! That little thing that says "This Day Will Never Happen Again." Well, it's not really art. I mean, I really copied it from this pin, which I know is like bad or something. But I really liked it! And that statement really means a lot to me. It's so true, and something that's so easy to forget. So, I put it where I can see it and stare at it every single day. I literally took an old envelope, taped the flap down on the back, and colored the words with crayons. How easy.
I'm so happy with my desk makeover!! It feels like home now. Eventually I'd like to have a real grownup desk that I can make all pretty and stuff. But for now, I'm happy with my faux-kid desk.

- Build a "new life" budget. Figure out exactly what we need to make, which areas we can cut, etc. There are some obvious changes (taxes will decrease, childcare will go down, I will get rid of the cleaning lady, etc) to take into account.
- Figure out how much it will cost to enroll me, plus the kids on M's insurance plan. I should be able to figure this out quickly, as we work for the same company.
- Figure out an exit date that allows me to capture a final quarterly stock vest (6/25). Maybe a combination of vacation days & working an extra week after the boys are done with school.
- Build a summer budget & plans to ensure we have enough "flex".
- Live off of our "new life" budget as much as possible, as early as possible. Obviously, we won't be able to cut down childcare until I stop working, but we may switch to a bimonthly cleaning, etc, to try & save more & prepare ourselves.
- Get a grasp on how much we will owe in taxes in 2015, as taxes due will make a major dent in my current savings.
- Determine how much "flex" money I need in our savings in order for the "40 week project" to be a go. Actively track over the next 10 months.
- Evaluate whether I can max out my 401K in 2016 with my bonus before I quit. . . this one will be totally dependent upon the new budget numbers.
- Look for areas of our existing budget to cut back asap, so we can start building up a nice cushion.

Forty week project - week one
2 comments:
Hi! Great start! Regarding #1, I say add 10% to whatever number you come up with. Or whatever buffer percentage you prefer. My reality has always been that you need it and having it in your estimates can be very comforting.ReplyDelete
Also regarding the cleaning, do you have a system in place? If no, I would start to develop one asap as it will make the transition so much easier and you'll be able to cut back on that expense sooner than you think. Also, start to enlist your boys help with the easy stuff but make it a part of their routine. It'll help you now and in the future as well as provide them with one more life skill.
Also, I have noticed that sometimes you tend to go over budget on your date nights. I would make a list of free things to do with M and start to implement this now. Plan for perhaps a quarterly outing to something that costs money so you can still splurge. Since you are in California with good weather most of the year, one idea is to be ruthless with food spending in order to carve out enough money for a "special" picnic with M - you guys eat well so you can hit a nice deli/food shop and still be able to have "good" food but not go to a restaurant.
~ PruReplies
Great suggestions, thanks! I'd say we have a very subpar system in place for cleaning now, as we're out of the house so much. The boys do help with watering the plants, garbage/recycling, laundry & keeping their rooms clean. But, I need a more systematic approach for the kitchen, bathrooms, floors, etc.Delete
M & I are very erratic with our date nights, but you are right. It takes pretty much our entire dining out budget to do a dinner out with a bottle of wine. I'll have to give some thought to other suggestions - love the idea!

I Guess I'm Doing Something Wrong
Technorati says in their annual State Of The Blogosphere that:
The majority of bloggers we surveyed currently have advertising on
their blogs. Among those with advertising, the mean annual investment
in their blog is $1,800, but it's paying off. The mean annual revenue
is $6,000 with $75K+ in revenue for those with 100,000 or more unique
visitors per month.
Erick Schonfeld of TechCrunch was a bit mystified at that $75k number:
The $6,000 a year I can believe. The $75,000 figure is harder to
swallow, especially with only 100,000 visitors a month. But
directionally there is no doubt that blogs are bringing in more cash.
I'm a bit mystified at that number too. I've had about 150k visitors per month for several years now. My audience is stable but flat. I get about 100k visitors per month on my website and another 50k via my feed. At best, this blog brings in about $30k per year, all of which I give to charity.
And I use two of the better monetization services out there for bloggers, Federated Media and FeedBurner. I used to use adsense but I took it off this blog (except for default).
I don't doubt that there are bloggers with similar sized audiences who do make $75k per year because they work it a lot harder than I do, but I also think that Technorati's survey results are wrong.
The reason I am writing about this is that there's a big difference between $30k per year which is very hard to make a living on no matter where you live and $75k per year which could replace a full-time job in many parts of the country.
Getting to 150k visitors per month and keeping them is not easy, but there are hundreds and possibly thousands of bloggers who do that these days. It would be wonderful if blogging could cover their nut and make them self sufficient.
I just don't think we are there yet. We should be and we will be. But not yet.

Published at Monday, April 22nd, 2019 - 11:48:59 AM. Worksheet. By Laurel Devaux.
Worksheets, workbooks, and printables. Is there a place for them in the early childhood setting? Today I'm explaining why I think worksheets are not appropriate for young children. Welcome to the Child Led Environments Series where we are exploring how to set up and cultivate an environment conducive to child-led learning. How to Cultivate a Love of Learning, Toy Rotation: Why It's Beneficial for You and Your Child, How to Incorporate an Encouraging Home Preschool Environment,9 Reasons Why Worksheets Are Inappropriate for Young Children,4 Aspects of the Adult's Role in a Child-Led Approach. As a parent and educator, when I walk into an environment with early learners, whether that be in a homeschool setting or preschool setting, I want to see those kids engaged in their learning. Young children should be manipulating materials, testing hypothesis, and exploring the world around them. No matter where I look, I should not see a child doing a workbook. Worksheets are not appropriate for young children for many reasons. Let me start off by explaining what a worksheet means to me.
Improve handwriting with dot-to-dot worksheets, Dot-to-dot and counting Working on a dot-to-dot teaches children number order and help with counting. Little ones may need a little help, but as they get older, completing a dot-to-dot all by themselves is a great confidence booster. Hand-eye co-ordination, Dot-to-dot games are wonderful for improving hand-eye co-ordination. There's a lot of concentration that goes into completing a dot-to-dot! Visual motor control is developed through dot-to-dot work. Handwriting skills. Doing dot-to-dot activities really helps improve handwriting skills and are a valuable pre-writing teaching tool. Children learn how to create shapes, focus their pencil and learn how much pressure to apply to the paper.

The professional development and events market is filled with numerous courses and seminars, face-to-face and online, making the choices endless for the busy healthcare professional who simply wants to find the right course to learn a new speciality or update on existing knowledge and earn CPD points. Worse still is the time wasted sifting through the plethora of unnecessary courses, events and conferences.
HealthcareLink has gathered together many of the relevant Australian courses, events and conferences for medical doctors, nurses and midwives, allied health, oral health, and management and administration.
It started life as a matching service for medical job seekers and employers – recruitment. Its new CPD service is open to all RTOs, hospitals, medical practices, specialist offices, healthcare businesses to post their courses, events and conferences. CPD providers can set the specific attendance criteria for a healthcare professional and the system will bring up the best matches that are available today.
Chief executive and founder at HealthcareLink, Kopi Nadarajah, says, "This platform has been created to support healthcare professionals stay on top of their CPD commitments and get the most out of their investment into their professional education."
"We're looking to partner with CPD education providers to give healthcare and medical professionals on the HealthcareLink platform access to special discounts to industry courses and events."
HealthcareLink's CPD courses website has received considerable interest early on, signing on leading course providers such as Reed Medical Education, Lightbox Radiology Education and Ausmed Education.
Conference and event listing services for all professions are plentiful. This one has the unique twist of matching CPD attendance criteria with healthcare and medical professionals career and educational criteria.

Of Ants and Energy
Our house has a little ant problem and this year, and we need to do something about it. Sure, I could call the Orkin guy, but I wonder what exactly they would do to make them go away. I have no religious convictions preventing me from killing ants. But I do wonder.
So what does this have to do with energy, you may ask? Well, I am glad you asked. The answer involves sustainability.
If we look at how we use the resources of the earth as people, it becomes pretty obvious that we're "using up" the earth. This is very evident in cases like fossil fuels, but also other resources like water and arable land. Those who study sustainability find ways to leave our surroundings unspoiled, or even slightly enriched, rather than "using it up".
For example, sustainable buildings may have grass-covered roofs. These roofs insulate, sequester CO2, purify and retain rain water so that it doesn't just wash away the pollutants on the pavement into our larger water supply, reduce the use of resources like the tar or other highly manufactured materials, and the list goes on. Beyond that, grass-covered roofs look nice. They support life, even the lives of ants.
Sustainability considers the full life-cycle of the things we use and how we use them, and is not just about buildings. William McDonough is probably the most well-known sustainability expert and was one of the authors of Cradle to Cradle (a really accessible and delightful book – I recommend you read it). And if you do, read it while in the tub — it's ok if the pages get wet, as it is printed on a very fine plastic instead of paper, a kind that is completely recyclable (unlike paper, which loses its quality each time it is recycled). But, the book has nothing to do with ants.
So, I started reading about ants. There are tens of thousands of different species. Most are harmless. Most live outside. They get busy in Spring. They have daily patterns. Carpenter ants don't eat wood. A colony can have from tens of thousands to millions of ants. Ants "herd" other bugs like aphids because they produce a sort of nectar that the ants eat (how cool is that?).
And yes, you can get people to come and charge you and arm and a leg (or perhaps six legs?) to put all sorts of baits, traps, chemicals, and pesticides around your house. Or you can blast a suspected colony with Raid, spreading some more fine petrochemicals in our ground. But neither usually works, especially the latter, which might actually cause the formation of multiple new colonies (as I now know).
One more fact: ants tend to get into your house through cracks and gaps. The best solution, then is to find where they're getting in and caulk.
Ah, see how it's all coming together? If ants can get in from outside, so can the cold winter (and hot summer) air. I followed the ants for a few day and figured out how they got in — there were a few rather significant cracks. So, I used the ants to find the leaks I should have caulked last fall.
The ants are still happy and doing their thing … except now, outside. Our house will be warmer next winter and cooler this summer. No trucks loaded with chemicals came by our house. One quarter of a tube of caulk was used. I learned to love the ant.
Thinking about how it all fits together very frequently results in simple, elegant efficiencies. Think.

Thinking big in IoT Concept development
WSIs' IoT Business Architect, Tobias Söderlund shares some insights on avoiding mistakes in IoT concept development.
It's time to define your IoT offering or product, you have done your homework, listened to your customers, tested the business model and the value proposition seems to hold. You start writing that requirement specification and accompanying design documents. The first version is released and short after you released, "if we only had done that…".
What went wrong?
One reason on why you may have ended up in this situation could be that you were to narrow in the concept development phase, the important step before going into the details. In this phase, almost no ideas should be considered too wide. By allowing a large scope, low hanging fruit can be identified and potentially give a big impact on your business. Areas often overlooked can be:
- Customer meta-data. For example: Today you don't have a direct relationship with your customers, you want to, but the timing is not right.
- Data to support R&D activities.
- Production quality parameters.
- Future business models or strategical pivots.
If you are lucky, these "extra features" could be an over-the-air update, but in certain situations it can be difficult and especially if it involves hardware changes or new processes for field and installation personnel.
Of course, this doesn't mean that the solution should contain all these features developed in the concept development phase. But when defining your Minimal Viable Product, maybe your first commercial release, you at least have done conscious decisions and minimized the risk of ending up wrong.

Allow 5 - 7 hours per session for completion of all requirements.
Participants are expected to have regular access to computers. In addition, participants should be proficient with using email, browsing the Internet, and navigating to computer files.
Goals and Objectives:
During this course, participants will learn skills and strategies to:
- Understand opposing viewpoints of whether or not STEM should be converted to STEAM in schools.
- Identify benefits of integrating arts across the curriculum and how art can support critical and creative thinking skills.
- Learn what a MakerSpace is and how it supports both informal learning and formal learning opportunities related to STEAM.
- Understand what computational thinking is and implications for STEAM education.
- Gain an understanding of what Design Thinking is and how it can be used in education to support STEAM initiatives.
- Learn the benefits of designing STEAM/ STEM investigations that support real world problem solving.
- Complete a final project template based on activities and readings throughout the course.
Course Outline:
Orientation: (1-2 hours)
Participants will prepare for the course with an introductory reading and icebreaker activity. Participants will read tip sheets for participating in online discussions, credit information, and complete an orientation survey.
Session One: What is STEAM? Shifting from STEM to STEAM (5-7 hours)
This first module shares opposing viewpoints from advocates that believe adding arts into STEM adds value, as well as those who believe that it should be separate. Participants will share their opinion (backed up with evidence) of whether arts should be added into STEM education. Participants will be asked to complete various activities to demonstrate their understanding of both sides of the debate. These activities include analyzing an infographic that compares the advantages of both, as well as writing a sample "letter to your administrator" taking a position on STEM vs. STEAM and sharing justification.
There is also a weekly discussion question that will be formatted as a debate. Each participant will be assigned a perspective (either pro STEAM or anti STEAM) and participate from that role.
Session Two: Why the "A" is Important: The Case for Arts Integration (5-7 hours)
Arts integration has been shown by several rigorous studies to increase student engagement and achievement among youth from both low and high socioeconomic backgrounds. In this module, students will explore different resources describing various methods for integrating arts across the curriculum as well as several reasons why adding arts is important for learning. Participants will explore different resources for ideas and inspiration for integrating arts. In this module, the focus is taking a closer look at the research behind arts integration and creativity in education.
Session Three: The Maker Movement: A Learning Revolution (5-7 hours)
In this module, students will learn about a new global learning revolution that supports both informal learning as well as formal. In module three, the focus is on understanding what the Maker movement is and how creating a MakerSpace can support STEAM initiatives. This revolution has been named the Maker Movement. Maker movement is learning fueled by students' curiosities and the love of tinkering. There is no wrong or right way to create a MakerSpace. In this module you will explore readings that share reasons why MakerSpaces are important in education, as well as tools, resources, and ideas for starting a space. Participants will explore a variety of resources, ideas, and tools that can be used to create a student MakerSpace.
Participants will be required to practice being a "maker". Participants will be asked to identify an activity and actually produce a maker product. They will then reflect on the process with their colleagues in the discussion forum.
Session Four: New Trends: Computational Thinking (5-7 hours)
This module describes what Computational Thinking is and how it allows us to take a complex problem, understand what the problem is and develop possible solutions. We can then present these solutions in a way that a computer, a human, or both, can understand. Learners will understand what Computational Thinking is and how it can be used to support STEAM. Participants will explore digital tools and resources that support Computational Thinking. The focus is on understanding what Computational Thinking is and how it can be implemented to support STEAM education.
The discussion forum will require participants discuss their viewpoint on integrating CT into STEAM and back up their opinion with justification and evidence from the module.
Session Five: Design Thinking in STEM/STEAM Education (5-7 hours)
Connecting STEAM/STEM to design thinking may be a creative way to excite students about STEM and empower them to apply what they learn to solve problems and take on new challenges. In this module, students will explore resources to learn more about what Design Thinking is and how it applies to education. Participants will practice using Design Thinking process to solve a problem.
The discussion forum will require participants discuss their viewpoint on integrating DT into STEAM and back up their opinion with justification and evidence from the module.
Session Six: Successful STEAM: Authentic Real World Problem Solving (5-7 hours)
In this module, we explore the importance of incorporating real world problem solving that represents problems we face in the real world. Providing students with real-world problems to solve fuels their curiosity and investigative interests and is crucial to successful STEAM learning experiences. Students will explore resources and tools to support real world problem solving lessons. The focus in this module is on understanding the importance of real world problem solving as an element in designing STEAM learning activities.

B12 Injections
With an easy and affordable Vitamin B12 injection, you'll have more energy for all your daily activities.
Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin that is one of eight essential B vitamins. It helps maintain healthy nerve cells and red blood cells and is also needed to make DNA, the genetic material in all cells.
B12 is vital in keeping your body running in top condition. While B12 is found naturally in a healthy diet, factors like stress or poor eating habits can lead to a deficiency. Vitamin B12 Injections are used for weight loss, healthy skin, reducing stress, energy booster, and more.
IV Therapy
IV therapy with nutrients is an extremely valuable treatment since we can deliver very large doses of nutrients safely into a vein that would not be tolerated if administered orally. Vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and certain other nutrients can have an incredibly potent drug-like effect when given directly into a vein, but without the side effects often seen with prescription medications. All of the nutrients we use are natural and safe to be administered intravenously.
Lipo Lean
Lipo-Lean is our signature shot loaded with all the goodies. It comes with Methionine, Inositol, Choline, Leucine, L-Carnitine, Vitamin C, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12 This is a very popular injection for patients who have achieved their goal weight. This injection helps combat mental and physical fatigue. We have many patients who use this to help manage their stress. It is thought that high levels of stress deplete the body of stored Vitamin B12.
Glutathione is commonly known as the body's most important antioxidant. It fights almost any disease, particularly those associated with aging. Glutathione supplementation is sought after as your body produces less with age. However, Glutathione is not absorbed well by the body when taken via oral supplementation. Direct injection is the preferred method for full absorption of this important molecule.

Texas 42 - 45 Kansas State
Freeman, Kansas State upset Texas in wild contestNov 12, 2006 - 6:53 AM MANHATTAN, Kansas (Ticker) -- Josh Freeman continued a horrific week for some of college football's top teams.
Freeman threw three touchdown passes - two to Yamon Figurs - and ran for a score as Kansas State posted a 45-42 Big 12 Conference victory over fourth-ranked Texas, snapping the Longhorns' 21-game league winning streak and dealing them a serious blow in their quest for a second straight national title.
With No. 3 Louisville losing Thursday and No. 5 Auburn and No. 8 California falling Saturday, the Longhorns had an opportunity to solidify their spot in the Bowl Championship Series standings. However, before Texas (9-2, 6-1 Big 12 South) can think about repeating as national champion, it has to win its own conference.
"At Texas, there's never a good time to lose - Ohio State wasn't good timing either," Longhorns coach Mack Brown said. "What you do is play the best that you can play, do the best you can do and (Saturday) we just didn't win.
"Half the teams in America feel the same way. I told these kids they should not have their heads down with as many games as they've won in their careers."
The game tied, 21-21, before the Wildcats scored 21 straight points in a span of barely three minutes in the third quarter. Freeman threw a 30-yard TD pass to Figurs with 6:53 remaining in the period and ran for another score two minutes later to cap the spurt and make it 42-21. Kansas State (7-4, 4-3 North) used two fumble recoveries and a blocked punt to spark the outburst.
A true freshman, Freeman completed 17-for-21 passes for 253 yards with just one interception. Figurs had six catches for 106 yards.
"With coach (Ron) Prince and his assistants, any week we're capable of winning," Freeman said. "Pretty much our plan from when we were 4-4 was to win out and make a statement."
Trailing by 21 points, Texas scored two straight touchdowns bridging the third and fourth quarters, capped by a 34-yard catch by Limas Sweed that made it 42-35 with 12:52 left in the game.
However, Wildcats kicker Jeff Snodgrass nailed a 51-yard field goal with 3:19 left to make it a two-possession game.
"He has always had a lot of faith in me and I thank him for that," said Snodgrass, who hit his fifth field goal of 50 yards or more this season. "We always joke around and he always talks about how we are going to go for it when we cross midfield. It is one of those things that I am glad he has enough confidence."
Chris Ogbonnaya scored on a one-yard run to pull Texas within 45-42 with 1:36 to play, but Kansas State recovered the ensuing onside kick and ran out the clock.
"I didn't feel good about this one until the very end," Prince said. "We were coaching our brains out down there at the very end to make this thing go the way we wanted it to go."
Longhorns redshirt freshman quarterback Colt McCoy scored a one-yard touchdown to start the scoring with 8:07 remaining in the first quarter. The Heisman Trophy candidate was injured on the play and left the game after a head-on collision with numerous Kansas State defenders at the goal line.
True freshman quarterback Jevan Snead took over and was 13-for-26 for 186 yards and a touchdown for Texas, which could have won its division with a win.
"It's a great night for (Kansas State) and a tough night for (Texas), but our guys get to go home and get ready to prepare for a Big 12 South championship and the right to go to Kansas City," Brown said. "That's what we'll be working on next week."
No one has shouted yet.
Be the first!
Be the first!

Countries of the Guiana Shield are pursuing policies within the framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) that emphasise the importance of establishing biodiversity corridors to avoid landscape fragmentation and loss of species and habitats for biodiversity. Cooperation among the countries is required to pursue and achieve this global commitment.
Against the backdrop, the GSF launched the Guiana Shield Priority Setting Platform (GSPSP) as a tool for knowledge exchange, communication and cooperation within the Guiana Shield. It is expected to serve as an avenue to facilitate and support efforts at biodiversity connectivity corridors for the achievement of the Aichi Biodiversity Targets. The GSPSP is based on ArcGIS Online for organisations and is a web based application that allows sharing of geographic information as well as access to content published by Esri, ArcGIS users and other providers.
In addition, the GSF is a major institutional expression of the commitments of the globally binding Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) to conserve, protect and sustainably use the biodiversity of the planet[1], to keep the average rise of atmospheric temperature below 2 0C compared with pre-industrial levels[2] and to protect the rights of indigenous peoples to their territories and of access to their natural resources and to thus protect their livelihoods and cultures in ways they deem fit. Given the global and regional ecological significance of the Guiana Shield ecoregion and the fact that the MEAs, of which the GSF is one of the institutional expressions, all contain provisions of the transfer of finance and technology which are legally also of a binding nature. The GSF and its "predecessor" the Guiana Shield Initiative (GSI) have from the beginning - and continue to do so - supported the position that there is a strong rationale for transfers between the international community and those responsible for maintaining the ecological and cultural integrity of the Guiana Shield.
The GSF, however, has also always maintained the position that these transfers should not just be "hand-outs from rich to poor", but elements of a contractual arrangement between equal partners in which the global community through the MEAs and the institutions implementing the agreements[3] compensate those who are indeed responsible for maintaining the ecological and cultural integrity of the Shield.[4]
The operating premise of the GSF is that providing incentives for the conservation of the unique ecosystems of the Guiana Shield towards ensuring the long-term delivery of its globally important environmental services will contribute to poverty reduction and will help an eco-region beset by threats such as: (il)legal deforestation, (il)legal mining, water pollution, social and health problems connected to mining, poaching of wildlife, and lack of a coordinated framework for planning, priority setting and management of natural resources.
It is under this theoretical framework that the GSF created an interdisciplinary database to:
- Inform scientific research on the floral and faunal biodiversity of the ecoregion
- Provide governments, communities, researchers and others with the tools to assess conservation and development objectives
- Provide policy makers with the tools to assess impacts on the ecosystems and peoples of the ecoregion
- Expand understanding of the threats to the local, national, regional and global provisioning of public goods and services via payment for ecosystem services
- Foster a greater sense of community among Guiana Shield countries
The GSPSP therefore forms part of the GSF interdisciplinary database to monitor the drivers of deforestation, and to provide inputs for biodiversity and ecosystem monitoring for Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES).
This platform is the only one of its kind in the Guiana Shield for organisations and users to localize, analyse, visualize, monitor and exchange spatial and non-spatial information. This will in turn contribute to the conservation of the Guiana Shield ecoregion's unique ecosystems and cultural diversity and associated biodiversity and ecosystem services, through flexible delivery of financial, scientific and technical resource to the development at national and regional levels.
The GSPSP consists of maps, data, apps and tools which allows users and publishers to add items, create web maps, share content, participate in groups, and customize the view of the site. Publishers have the added privilege to publish hosted services. A demonstration video can be accessed by clicking here. The video focuses on publishing hosted services, publishing a hosted tile package from ArcGIS for desktop, all users - creating map within ArcGIS online for GSPSP, adding data from a text file to your map and symbolizing and configuring your data.
[1] Biodiversity here understood as defined in the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) referring to the diversity of ecosystems (for5ests, wetland, marine systems, etc.), species and genetic diversity within species.
[2] This is at the moment the most pragmatic summary of the objectives of climate change policies under the UN Framework convention on climate Change (UNFCCC). There are many more specific objectives on a more detailed level
[3] These institutions so far have been the Dutch government, the European Union, UNDP, IUCN Netherlands, Conservation International directly financing the GSI/F, with many other entities in a co-financing capacity
[4] The major format for these contractual arrangements and therefore also for the distribution of the GSF resources have been the Payments-for-Ecosystem Services (PES) contracts, in which "payments" have to be construed as any meaningful and culturally appropriated compensation for those who contribute to maintain the integrity of the ecoregion. They could range from indeed monetary compensation to healthy and education facilities, legal advice to protect territorial interests, advanced monitoring devices in the form of handheld instruments to do the same. A good example of a PES contract is the GSI contract between UNDP and Iwokrama in Guyana: http://www.guianashield.org/index.php/news-2/139-gsi-first-contract?tmpl=component&type=raw . The full contract is attached as PDF.

text: CULTURE Gawker Pulls Condé Nast CFO-Escort Story: "It Is a Decision I Regret" 11:46 AM PDT 7/17/2015 by Emmet McDermott FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME AP Images Gawker.com Managing Editor Nick Denton "It was an editorial call, a close call around which there were more internal disagreements than usual. And it is a decision I regret." Gawker has pulled its controversial story about Condé Nast CFO David Geithner allegedly soliciting a gay escort. Gawker managing editor Nick Denton released the following statement: "Yesterday evening, Gawker.com published a story about the CFO of Conde Nast texting an escort. It was an editorial call, a close call around which there were more internal disagreements than usual. And it is a decision I regret ... The point of this story was not in my view sufficient to offset the embarrassment to the subject and his family. "It is the first time we have removed a significant news story for any reason other than factual error or legal settlement," Denton wrote (full statement below). Shortly after the story posted, Gawker editor-in-chief Max Read defended it, writing on Twitter, "Given the chance Gawker will always report on married c-suite executives of major media companies f---ing around on their wives." Read also reportedly told a journalist via email, "A high-level executive at a powerful media organization f—ed around on his wife and attempted to trade favors to kill the story. If you don't see how that's a news story, I don't know what to tell you." The story, written by Gawker's Jordan Sargent, detailed a rendezvous allegedly planned between a male escort and Geithner and was widely criticized as excessively invasive journalism. Michael Barbaro of the New York Times called it "repugnant, shameful." I dont say this lightly: This is repugnant, shameful journalism @jordansarge. — Michael Barbaro (@mikiebarb) July 17, 2015 Gawker executive editor John Cook disagreed with the retraction, calling it a "mistake." "Jordan's post was solidly in line with what Gawker has asked its writers and editors to do for years," Cook wrote in support of Sargent. "I and a lot of my colleagues argued as strenuously against it as we could, and we lost," he added. Jordan's post was solidly in line with what Gawker has asked its writers and editors to do for years. — John Cook (@johnjcook) July 17, 2015 Gawker writer J.K. Trotter released additional information about the decision to pull the story, saying the vote among Gawker's managing partnership to retract the story was *4-2, with Geithner story editor Tommy Craggs and Heather Dietrick, president and chief legal counsel of Gawker Media, being the two dissenters. "Along the Craggs [sic]," Trotter wrote, "every other member of Gawker Media's editorial leadership, including Gawker's editor-in-chief Max Read and the executive editors of Gawker Media's Politburo, strenuously protested removing the post." "Besides Denton," Trotter continued, "the partners who voted to remove the post were Andrew Gorenstein, who serves as the president of advertising and partnerships; Heather Dietrick, who serves as President and chief legal counsel; chief operating officer Scott Kidder; chief strategy officer Erin Pettigrew; and chief technology officer Tom Plunkett." The Geithner story comes at an inopportune moment for Gawker. This week, it was scheduled to square off against Hulk Hogan, who is suing for $100 million for allegedly invading his privacy by publishing an excerpt from a sex tape. The trial was postponed after an appeals court intervened. Winning some sympathy from First Amendment advocates for its Hogan fight, Gawker's brand of adventuresome reporting has long been controversial. The site was sued after misidentifying Arnold Schwarzenegger's mistress and linking to Quentin Tarantino's Hateful Eight script. On other occasions, like when its sports site revealed that football player Manti Te'o's dead girlfriend was a hoax or when it uncovered flirtatious emails from a New York congressman, Gawker's decisions to push the boundaries of personal privacy appeared to pay off. Late Friday, Gawker Media's editorial staff issued a statement strongly opposed to the decision to pull the post, saying, "We are united in objecting to editorial decisions being made by a majority of non-editorial managers. Disagreements about editorial judgment are matters to be resolved by editorial employees. We condemn the takedown in the strongest possible terms." Denton's full statement is below: Yesterday evening, Gawker.com published a story about the CFO of Conde Nast texting an escort. It was an editorial call, a close call around which there were more internal disagreements than usual. And it is a decision I regret. The story involves extortion, illegality and reckless behavior, sufficient justification at least in tabloid news terms. The account was true and well-reported. It concerns a senior business executive at one of the most powerful media companies on the planet. In the early days of the internet, that would have been enough. "We put truths on the internet." That has been the longstanding position of Gawker journalists, some of the most uncompromising and uncompromised on the internet. I cannot blame our editors and writers for pursuing that original mission. But the media environment has changed, our readers have changed, and I have changed. Not only is criticism of yesterday's piece from readers intense, but much of what they've said has resonated. Some of our own writers, proud to work at one of the only independent media companies, are equally appalled. I believe this public mood reflects a growing recognition that we all have secrets, and they are not all equally worthy of exposure. I can't defend yesterday's story as I can our coverage of Bill O'Reilly, Hillary Clinton or Hulk Hogan. We are proud of running stories that others shy away from, often to preserve relationships or access. But the line has moved. And Gawker has an influence and audience that demands greater editorial restraint. Gawker is no longer the insolent blog that began in 2003. It does important and interesting journalism about politicians, celebrities and other major public figures. This story about the former Treasury Secretary's brother does not rise to the level that our flagship site should be publishing. The point of this story was not in my view sufficient to offset the embarrassment to the subject and his family. Accordingly, I have had the post taken down. It is the first time we have removed a significant news story for any reason other than factual error or legal settlement. Every story is a judgment call. As we go forward, we will hew to our mission of reporting and publishing important stories that our competitors are too timid, or self-consciously upright, to pursue. There will always be stories that critics attack as inappropriate or unjustified; and we will no doubt again offend the sensibilities of some industries or interest groups. This action will not turn back the clock. David Geithner's embarrassment will not be eased. But this decision will establish a clear standard for future stories. It is not enough for them simply to be true. They have to reveal something meaningful. They have to be true and interesting. These texts were interesting, but not enough, in my view. In light of Gawker's past rhetoric about our fearlessness and independence, this can be seen as a capitulation. And perhaps, to some extent, it is. But it is motivated by a sincere effort build a strong independent media company, and to evolve with the audience we serve.

Looking for a way to bulk update YouTube videos?
Well, do you know YouTube has an inbuilt option to bulk update titles, description, tags and other metadata! Although this bulk edit feature was rolled a long time ago, many YouTube publishers are still not aware of it, since this feature is buried under settings.
What you can do?
You can make bulk changes to–
- Change Ad Formats
- Enable/Disable Age restriction
- Update Caption Certification
- Change video Category
- Add, remove and rename keywords in the description
- Change privacy settings
- Change license
- Change the video's location
- Enable or disable monetization
- Change the recording date
- Subtitle contribution
- Syndication
- Add or Remove tags
- Add keywords to the end or Rename the entire title
- Change video stats privacy
What you can not do?
You do not get much control on what and where you can edit.
For instance– If you bulk add text to your description, it'll be added after the last character in the description. You can not add text in the beginning or middle of the description. Similarly, you don't get advanced options like find and replace text, etc.
Also, every change you made is final. You can not revert back. So yeah, before making a big update to dozens of video, test it first on one or two videos.
Let's take an example of how to bulk update YouTube video's title.
Follow these steps:
#1 Go to your YouTube Video Manager.
#2 Select the videos you want to bulk update, by clicking on the check marks next to them. Or click on the global check mark on the top, this will select every video on the page.
#3 Next click on Action button > More Actions > Titles.
#4 You will see a small text box appearing on the top of the page. From the drop-down menu select Append and in then type in your Channel name (or anything) in it.
#5 Submit and confirm changes. And the new text will appear after the title.
Closing Words
This is a lesser known but a useful feature to quickly add social links to your video description or channel name after the end of the title. But it's not very powerful, as you can specify where you can add text or use find and replace keywords.
However, if you want advanced features, try the chrome extension TubeBuddy. It gives you more control on bulk edits like — cards, annotations, thumbnails etc. But this extension also comes with a price.
Overall, if you are a beginner YouTube publishers, then stay with YouTube inbuilt update feature, but if you are advance YouTuber with lakhs of subscribers, then it makes sense to pay for TubeBuddy.

Welcome to The Stamp Review Crew blog hop: Watercolor Wings Edition! I have been looking forward to this hop since I first saw Watercolor Wings in the new catalog. I am in LOVE with this set and cannot wait to see what everyone has created!
My favorite thing about this set is that it requires absolutely no coloring, which I am not that great at. :) The different layers of the butterflies allow you to create beautifully detailed butterflies by simply stamping!
Here are the first two cards I have made with this set. In my opinion, the two sets of butterfly framelits that we have in the catalog are a must to coordinate with the stamp set. Even if you don't want to cut out your butterflies, the detailed framelit butterflies look fabulous layered over the top of the stamped images!
Thanks for hopping along with us this week! Click on the links below to continue on with the hop!

The history of the faculty started on the day Belarusian State University (BSU) was founded. It was in 1921 that the Department of Law attached to the Faculty of Social Sciences opened its doors.
In 1925 this department became the Faculty of Law and Economics which was later reorganized into the Faculty of Soviet Construction and Law.
In 1931 the faculty stopped being part of the university and became the Institute of Soviet Construction and Law under the direct supervision of the Central Executive Committee of the BSSR.
A year later (in 1932) it was renamed Belorussian State Law Institute and went under the supervision of the Ministry of Justice of the BSSR.
In 1954 Belorussian State Law Institute was closed. Its facilities were later used to open the Faculty of Law at BSU.
Teaching staff
Our teaching staff of 213 persons includes 20 Doctors of Laws and 131 Candidates of Laws, 21 Professors and 97 Associate Professors, all working in the frontiers of knowledge in their areas of expertise. Students are taught in a research environment and benefit from interaction with well-known theoreticians, experienced practicing lawyers and representatives of the highest state bodies. Many faculty members received honorary awards and titles for their significant scientific and academic contribution.
Faculty today
The faculty is headed by Professor Dr. Sergey Balashenko.
We provide high-quality teaching to more than 3,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students from all regions of Belarus and other countries. The faculty has 3 departments of undergraduate study, allowing students to study and get a degree in Jurisprudence, Economic Law or Political Science.
Students are expected to choose one of 10 specialties focusing them on their future areas of practice.
The main subjects taught at the faculty are General Theory of Law, Constitutional Law, Administrative Law, Civil Law, Business Law, Criminal Law, Correctional Law, Labour Law, Finance Law, Civil Procedure, Criminal Procedure, Environmental Law, International Public Law, International Private Law, Criminalistics, etc.
Students are given vocational training during seminars, sandwich courses and in the law clinic where they offer free legal advice to members of the public.
The faculty is committed to providing students with modern and well-equipped facilities to ensure a first-class environment in which to study and do research. It offers a wide range of study groups, holds students' scientific conferences and research paper contests and has a functioning students' research laboratory. Students preparing for tests and examinations can surf the faculty site for a range of course materials and learning resources. This site has been officially recognized as the most popular "Science and Education" site in Belarus. The faculty library has a stock of 200,000 volumes including rare editions. The Day of the Faculty is celebrated annually. The Law Museum organizes and supports activities of the historical and patriotic center "Pamyat'".

Systems Deployment Question
storing/restoring image to/from external hard drive
02/25/2004 2610 views
I am trying to store my harddrive image to external hard drive through virtual floppy technology. I am able to boot my computer to dos mode and to the imagecenter through executable made from the virtual floppy (.vdf) file, but only when I don't attache external hard drive to the computer. If I attach external drive (I am using SCSI drive) to the computer, and double click on same executable which I used when external drive was not attached, my computer doesn't boot to dos and doesn't load imagecenter. I am using deploycenter's boot disk builder to make virtual floppy and the executable as well. Is this problem related with external hard drive or is related with the virtual floppy I have created?

Red Bull Cola
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2008)
Red Bull Simply Cola Russian can, Sep 2012
|Red Bull GmbH
|Country of origin
Red Bull Cola is a beverage from Red Bull GmbH, makers of the energy drink Red Bull. The cola, which contains natural flavoring and caffeine, was introduced in 2008 in several countries.
Red Bull Cola is flavored with plant extracts, including galangal, vanilla, mustard seed, lime, kola nut, cocoa, liquorice, cinnamon, lemon, ginger, coca leaf, orange, corn mint, pine, cardamom, mace, clove, and lemon juice concentrate.[1] It also contains caffeine from coffee beans; at 45 milligrams per 355ml (12-ounce) can, the caffeine level is regulated by the FDA, it contains more than Coca-Cola (34 mg) or Pepsi-Cola (37.5 mg), but less than Diet Coke (47 mg) or Pepsi One (54 mg) or Mountain Dew (54 mg).[2] The cola contains significantly less caffeine than Red Bull's eponymous energy drink (80 mg per 250 mL).[3] The drink also contains sugar and caramel color, lacking the phosphoric acid, high fructose corn syrup used in some other colas.
Availability and promotions
In 2008, the year of its release, Red Bull Simply Cola was available in Austria, Azerbaijan, Czech Republic, Croatia, Egypt, Switzerland, Netherlands, Spain, Poland, Germany, Bulgaria, Belgium, Italy, [2], India, Thailand, Romania, Hungary, Russia, Slovakia, New Zealand, Mexico, United Kingdom and the United States.[1]
Red Bull Simply Cola is packaged in 250 ml (8.4 fl. oz.) and 355 ml (12 fl. oz.) cans. The larger cans are sold both individually and in 4-packs.[2]
Red Bull discontinued distribution of Red Bull Simply Cola in the USA in late July 2011 to focus on the core markets Austria and Germany.
Cocaine claim
In May 2009, food regulators from Germany discovered trace amounts of cocaine from coca leaf extracts in Red Bull Cola, Pepsi One, and Diet Coke. Red Bull GmbH responded by insisting that only de-cocainised coca leaf extracts are used the production of Red Bull Cola.[4] The amounts in question are minute, around 0.13 micrograms of cocaine in a can of Red Bull Cola, so about 100,000 liters of the cola would need to be consumed for the cocaine to be harmful, according to Bernhard Hoffman, a food scientist for North Rhine-Westphalia who conducted the Red Bull study. Despite this, the drink was ordered off the shelves in the German states of Hesse, North Rhine-Westphalia, Thuringia and Rhineland-Palatinate.[5][6] After the German Institute for Risk Assessment declared the product safe in a study,[7] the drink was put back on sale from 24 August 2009 onwards.
After the news of the German ban, Taiwan confiscated 18,000 cans of Red Bull Energy Drink, but acknowledged the mistake later.[8]
