Books I did not finish this month: Orleans by Sherri L. Smith (disliked the "written accent" style of the book, it drove me crazy) and Beartown by Fredrik Backman (I know SO MANY PEOPLE told me how good this is, but I could not get into it! I may try it again sometime).

A Study in Charlotte by Brittany Cavallaro
Rating: 📚📚📚
The beginning of this one dragged a bit but as soon as I got into it, I thought it was really well done. It's a nice revamp of Sherlock Holmes, done with a teen Holmes and Watson. The problems are real and the mystery is a bit dramatic, but fits well with into the Sherlock Holmes universe. Definitely YA, I would have enjoyed it more personally if I were younger or the book was geared to an older audience.
The Magic of Motherhood by Ashlee Gadd
Rating: 📚📚📚
Short, sweet stories of motherhood. This would be a great book to gift to a new mom, since it is split into easy to read short stories that teach a lesson or tell an encouraging experience.
Zlata's Diary by Zlata Filipovic
Rating: 📚📚📚📚📚
This is an old favorite that I recently bought to have in my permanent collection. Zlata's Diary holds a special place in my heart because I read it as a young teenager, right after it came out. Zlata was the same age writing the book as I was reading it, and the events were so recently on the news at that time that I remembered it all clearly. It was such a pleasure to reread the book as an adult and see it all through new eyes.
Bonk by Mary Roach
Rating: 📚📚📚
Anything by Mary Roach is guaranteed to be both educational and hysterically funny! I really enjoyed this book, it is extremely well researched and and a great read.
We All Looked Up by Tommy Wallach
Rating: 📚📚📚
This book is a bit crazy in spots, but it's a very interesting crazy. The entire planet is waiting to see if a killer meteor will hit the earth, and everyone is having different reactions. While I didn't love some parts of the ending, I thought the story was thought provoking and interesting.
Down the Rabbit Hole by Holly Madison
Rating: 📚📚
I've discovered how to work Overdrive and I'm finally able to check out ebooks-and this was my first guilty pleasure read. The background details were interesting and the stories were fun, but I wouldn't reread.
The Clocks by Agatha Christie
Rating: 📚📚
I didn't love this? It was okay, but I wasn't gripped by the mystery and I felt like there was a lot of extra unnecessary things going on. I know I've read a few Christie books in the past, but I don't really remember how I felt about them. I'm hoping that this was just a fluke and the next Christie book I try is amazing.
After Dark by Haruki Murakami
Rating: 📚📚
I could not get into this book, unfortunately. I didn't hate it, but I finished it and haven't thought about it since. It felt very disjointed to me, although the writing was really excellent in parts.
The Last of August by Brittany Cavallaro
Rating: 📚📚
I have pretty similar thoughts on this book as I did on the first. The story was fun and interesting, but it's definitely a YA and not one that I could really get into. I would recommend it to a teenager in a heartbeat though, it just wasn't for me.
The Weight of Lies by Emily Carpenter
Rating: 📚📚📚
(I received this book free of charge from NetGalley. All opinions are my own.)
I liked the twisty, confusing nature of this story! I was not a huge fan of the romance-it felt very tacked on and I thought it was unnecessary. This is one of the few books I've read recently where the twist really surprised me, and I loved that. Having the book within a book was a really nice touch that I haven't seen much before, and that really brought it up a level.
And Again by Jessica Chiarella
Rating: 📚📚📚📚
One of my favorites this month! This was a really unusual dystopian-like novel, and I loved the different chapters from the different characters viewpoints. The ambiguous ending was really nice-I love when you are free to imagine what happens, and not everything is nailed down tight. Would recommend!
One for the Books by Joe Queenan
Rating: 📚📚📚
I really like the idea of this book…the execution, not as much. Queenan writes with a very dry, sarcastic tone, and it was funny at first but by the mid point of the book it began to feel very old. He lays a lot of judgment out on anyone who reads "drivel", and basically states that you aren't really a reader if you don't read intelligent books.
Emma in the Night by Wendy Walker
Rating: 📚📚📚📚
(I received this book free of charge from NetGalley. All opinions are my own.)
I was not expecting the twists in this novel! I loved the switching perspectives and the drama within drama within drama. There was so much going on, and I was surprised right up until the end. This one is coming out August 8th, and I would definitely recommend it!
Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
Rating: 📚
I read this as a teenager, and I hated it. I see the themes and I know it's a classic but I just hated it. Lately I've been making an effort to reread some classics as an adult to see how I feel about them now, and I thought that perhaps I would like this one better. I do not. I still hate it.
The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls
Rating: 📚📚📚📚📚
My favorite book of the month, hands down. I know I started this before, because I remember the first chapter-but nothing else. So I either read a teaser at some point or I started it and gave it up. This memoir is amazing and moving on so many levels, and I can't get over how each of the kids managed to change their life so drastically despite the examples of their parents. A definite must read. I'm hoping that the movie coming out soon is as good.

Race for Position During Grid Night at K1 Speed
Everybody loves the excitement of our traditional Arrive & Drive racing, where you race for the fastest lap time against friends, families, colleagues, and complete strangers. However, we also know that many of our racers wish to race not just for best lap time, but for track position, where the first racer to finish wins the race. We also know that not all of you can make it to Challenge GP/Teen/Junior League or have the money for its 3-race format.
Well, racers' wishes are about to be granted: introducing Grid Night at K1 Speed!
What is Grid Night at K1 Speed?
Grid Night places an importance on racecraft rather than outright speed. You may be able to put together a hot lap, but are you consistent enough to pull away from your competition? Can you handle the pressure of somebody racing right behind you, lap after lap? Can you study your opponent for their slow spots and set up an overtaking move without bumping? This what Grid Night is going expose from our racers.
The Grid Night Format
3-Lap Qualifying Session
9-Lap Final Race
Before we grid you up for the race, we need to know who from your group can go around our track the fastest – in order. So we're going to host a 3-lap mini-qualifying session that'll run like our usual Arrive & Drive races – you're just trying to set the fastest lap you can.
Once everyone gets their 3 laps in, we're going to stop everyone and then grid you up on our front straight by how fast you went – fastest racer will be in the front, slowest racer in the back.
Now it's time to RACE. When the green flag drops, you're going to want to pass anyone that's in front of you. If you are in the racer in front, you're going to want to keep everyone behind you. The entire race for position will be 11 laps, so passing will be of importance right from the start.
What is the Price to Race During Grid Night?
The cost for Grid Night will be exactly the same as our regular Arrive & Drive races. If you have races in your account, you can certainly use those towards your Grid Night races.
I'm Ready to Beat my Friends! When is Grid Night at my Local K1 Speed?
Grid Night will take place on Monday, October 21, 2019 from 5:00pm to Close
The 2019 Grid Night Schedule
**Subject to Change – Call Your Nearest Location to confirm**
MONDAY, OCTOBER 21, 5:00 PM to Close
Racing Tips to Get the Most from Grid Night
- Try to give yourself some space during the qualifying session when you can. There's no point in racing other karts during this time. Even if you have to sacrifice two of your three laps for that one without traffic, your lap time will be better than 3 laps stuck behind other karts. This can be applied to our traditional Arrive & Drive races as well.
- During the race, remember you're going for position – not lap times. If need be, take a racing line that's more defensive than fast and make sure you keep that racer behind you.
- If you can't get around a driver because they keep protecting the inside line, try to find a way around the outside. This will mean finding a corner that you can carry much greater speed out of, allowing you get alongside, brake late, and go for the outside move around your opponent by the next turn.
- If you've got two turns that switch from left/right or right/left then get on the outside of your opponent for the first turn, so that you're lined up perfectly in the inside for the second turn and make that pass.
- Can't find a way around a driver? Don't get frustrated and start bumping them, or even worse, dive-bomb into a gap that's rapidly closing. That's sloppy and lacks skill. Play the smart game instead and make them nervous. Fill their peripheral vision by moving to the left and right behind them. This kind of pressure can force a mistake and allow an opportunity for you to pass cleanly.
Want More?
If you come out for Grid Night and are hungry for more races of its kind, then start racing in our Challenge GP and Junior League championships!
These championship races are held once a month and gives you more qualifying laps and more race laps for position. Points are tallied up as the season progresses, and our top three winners receive some great prizes! Plus, it's a great chance for you to meet other dedicated and passionate K1 Speed racers – like yourself!

Will YOU Win the Race?

THE LATEST INSANITY from Murph
Our last post was November 4. Way too long in between, but neither Freeacre or I have had blocks of time to spend on it, and we also are again feeling tongue-tied. I was really reluctant to write on this latest insanity but succumbed to the temptation. We had around 12" of snow the other night, finally got the essential areas cleared, working outside is nearly impossible, so lets see what we come up with.
Highlighting the news, of course, is the latest shooting spree at a school that left a bunch of grade school kids dead and several adults. I have been reading a whole bunch of contradictory stories about what happened during and after the killings. We've been warned that any repeating of non-official information was punishable by jail time. Mainstream reporters typically aren't doing their jobs in checking up on the facts of the case or calling out officials that seem to be giving out deliberately misleading and out right contradictory information. And of course, the hue and cry for gun control is going viral on the net. Every liberal I know about is screaming at the top of his lungs for gun control and even some of the more conservative folks out there in the Disney land concept of living.
I am going to postulate that we are watching extreme insanity at work, taking over citizen's common sense and proposing all kinds of draconian remedies so this never ever happens again. These remedies include;
1. Hardening the public schools so that no one unauthorized can enter the premises. Of course they do have a tendency to completely minimize the cost of this, and, they seem to think that making schools even more prison like than they already are is a good thing.
2. Taking all assault types of weapons away from all civilians
3. Limiting clip fed firearms to a max of 10 shots clips
4. Various schemes for completely disarming the civilian population in total. Australia and New Zealand are their favorite examples
5. Making the acquisition of a firearm more difficult, to the point that you would have to prove that you need one.
6. Advancing the idea that if we can save just one child from such a horrendous fate, regardless of the cost and effort, it is worth it.
There is more, but this seems to be the worst of the lot that I have come across so far. And, of course, there is the deliberate avoidance of dealing with many of these crazy mass killings that were the result of stolen firearms, not purchased ones.
New advocates of trashing the second amendment are writing furiously for a variety of reasons. And, of course, government officials are screaming in a high-pitched voice that we have to do something, right now, as if that will cure the problem that has definitely not been defined. All they want to talk about is how bad guns are, across the board.
There are some folks out in writers opinion land that are advocating a bit more of a rational approach to a problem of crazies doing crazy things. They include;
1. Arming teachers and school officials. Personally I like this one.
2. Examining how we are dealing with individuals that are exhibiting psychopathic tendencies.
3. Examining our legal drug culture and its affects on the brain and what people do around being on the drug and what they do when they get off, for whatever reason.
4. Taking a good hard look at statistic and comparing government mass killings as opposed to the crazies mass killing.
American culture for a long time now has increasingly progressed toward dependency on the government to solve all problems. Personal responsibility does not enter into their observations, and freedom definitely does not. Throughout our history, every time a citizen says, "there ought to be a law" for or against something, we loose another bit of our freedom. Now, do to the rash of crazies shooting up some folks, they want even more government control. Of course, they discount the loss of American lives in wars that were started from lies, nor do they consider that the 9-11 tragedy and the official version was also a lie, and they definitely don't want to deal with the wholesale death by government bombs and troops on the civilian populations in those illegal wars. After all, our government is right and we must not question that rightness, and besides, those folks aren't good American white folks and, they are over there and we are here.
Very few of the writers on this subject are dealing with the fact that there have always been a certain number of folks that do crazy things, like mass murder, or the bankers and financiers stealing citizen's money, or out of control governments that do whatever they want to regardless of the damage to the population.
Another observation. Notice that most of the rampages and killings happen where there is no one to oppose them, gun free zones and lots of folks around to target in on. Mon. and Tues Carl Denninger made some pretty interesting comments on this. http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?singlepost=3091627
Most of our population likes to talk about our freedoms, except when it threatens their lives or livelihoods, they're being wards of the nanny state. In essence, we are a nation of irrational dumbed down hypocrites.
Currently, according to stats I have seen, there are on the order of 300,000,000 firearms in the hands of civilians, getting pretty close to one for every man, woman and child in the country. Of course, many folks don't have firearms, so some folks have a bunch of them, mostly in the hands of collectors and preppers.
Now those folks that are advocating the complete collection of firearms from civilians don't seem to understand how massive and expensive an undertaking that would be even if the government takes only a certain classification of firearm, you know the drill, we've been through it before. The "assault type of rifle", all full autos (for which there is a nation wide, hard to get, and expensive license for them), large capacity semi auto pistols and god knows what else they would want to take. Maybe all knives over 2" blade length and all other edged battle weapons too. Coupled with the large percentage of corrupted police departments I would suspect that their gun and edged weapons collections would increase substantially. Hell, it happens now without wholesale confiscation.
Of course there is the argument that a disarmed citizenry is helpless to aggressive states, governments and genuine outlaws that could give a shit about laws to begin with. Statistics abound concerning how disarmed countries are much more peaceful and don't have these kinds of incidents of mass killings, with guns of course. Most of these stats have some serious problems. I've been looking at civilian gun violence for years now and what I am hearing on the MSM is flat our wrong. And additionally, the gun banners don't want to deal with where these mass killings take place; Where guns are banned and nobody is going to shoot back.
The gun banners don't really like to deal with the mass confiscation of guns (and other weapons) that have taken place and the results of the like of Hitler and Stalin. Pre gun periods (Japan) where there was a state ban on civilians having battle weapons resulted in other means of civilians fighting the state powers, most of them lethal too. What's this with China banning sales of any knives last weekend?
Only in novels have I seen an honest appraisal of what happens in a society where everyone over a certain age has the right to be armed, primarily for personal and loved ones defense against those that choose to be aggressive and end up killing folks. IMO, history has shown that those with the inclination to do mass killings or just individual assaults are going to do it regardless of laws. And, while disarming the civilian population would perhaps reduce, to a small extent, the incidents of mass civilian against civilian killings, it would never eliminate it. Our police are not able to protect against these mass killings, only to catch and punish the culprit. For me, I want the ability, freely given, to protect myself, my loved ones, my friends and innocent bystanders from these kinds of attacks. I guess I'm just an anachronism living in a society of mostly woosies.
This will probably be the last post for 2012. Both of us wish for you all to have a pleasant holiday period, and we are looking forward to 2013 continuation of our relationships. In our view, 2012 was a pretty tough year for a lot of folks and quite frankly, don't think next year will be any better. Keep, through the holiday season, some prayers and thoughts for the folks that through no fault of their own, are having a really tough time of it. There but for the grace of God ……….

A MAJOR study on the possible link between air travel and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) will need around £7.6m of funding and take two-and-a-half years, according to the World Health Organisation.
WHO is now contacting governments and independent agencies to seek funding into the DVT phenomenon.
Dr Derek Yach, executive director of WHO's non-communicable diseases and mental health division said, "Lately, increased reports of cases of venous thrombosis following flights point to the importance of conducting our research without delay.
"We hope to quickly secure funding so the studies can begin shortly." It is thought that DVT could be caused by sitting for long periods in cramped conditions on flights.
WHO said its research would determine the frequency of DVT, the magnitude of its association with air travel and its possible causes.
If a significant association is discerned, these studies will also provide clues on prevention strategies for air travellers, whatever the level of risk they have. Based on solid scientific evidence from the studies, a set of recommendations will eventually be drawn up for use by interested parties, including travellers.
British Airways said that it had pledged to take part in the research.
Dr David Flower, BA's senior consultant occupational physician said, "We are looking forward to receiving a copy of the WHO's research proposals.
"We agree with the medical community that current research into DVT is inadequate."
Ahead of its study, the WHO last spring recommended - as airlines do - that passengers should reduce alcohol intake, drink adequate fluids, wear loose clothing and perform leg exercises while seated.

It's a lot of work to be a wife and mother at the same time. Yeah! It is too much work but it is actually worth it. It is the best way to keep your man under your shield. A mother knows how to protect her man, she knows when he feels pain and how to alleviate the pain. A mother can be upset with her husband but always knows when to stop. A mother carries pregnancy with joy and pain but she endures because she is waiting to see the outcome of the nine months course (pregnancy); just the same way a woman in a motherly reflection to her husband will endure and be strong to do what it takes to make a good man stays in her life because she knows the waiting will worth it at last. Now the wife part of a woman in a man's life will give him all the affection and romance he ever needed. Most of all, making sex a new experience every time 🙈🙈🙈😜.

Director James Gunn has gone on record as saying Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is Yondu's story as much as it is anybody else's. He told Sci Fi Now that the blue-skinned Ravager is "honestly one of the stars if not the star of Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2."
Let's just pause right here to issue a SPOILER WARNING before we carry on.
In the film, we not only learn a lot more about Yondu, we also see him – sadly – meet his death. Sorry, but we did warn you about that upcoming spoiler. While we might bemoan the fact that this could mean the end of Yondu's involvement in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, let's just stop and consider the fact that this is a comic-book movie. In the world of comics, dead doesn't always mean dead. You know that, we know that. And that's exciting.
It means that a return for Yondu isn't out of the question, and since Gunn loves the character, we asked actor Michael Rooker – who plays Yondu in both Guardians films – whether he'd like to see his character return.
"My mortgage would like to see Yondu come back," laughs Rooker. "I would personally love to see Yondu come back. Yondu is a great character, cool role. I had fun with it, and yeah, nothing wrong with that. That's an all-out yes."
And while Rooker teases that Yondu could come back in the future, it doesn't have to transpire that he comes back from the dead. A prequel movie could be the answer.
"You know prequels are funny," says Rooker. "How far back would you have to go? You'd have to get someone else to play Yondu, we don't have a lot of time for a prequel. This boy ain't getting any younger! You better start casting tomorrow, man."
We point out that they de-aged Kurt Russell in GOTG2 – technology they could apply to Rooker.
"Oh, that's a great idea!" he says.
Watch the interview above.
'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2' is out now in the UK and hits US screens on May 5.

Hands-on Energy Project in Grade 5
Ms. Werner visited the International School of Stuttgart on behalf of the Stadtwerke Stuttgart last week, who offer an energy project to all local primary schools each year. The subject of this year's project was "electricity and heat using the power of the sun".
Ms. Werner demonstrated through the example of a bicycle lamp all necessary components for this kind of energy production and how they interact with each other. She applied this example on a model of a steam engine and lighted up a miniature street lamp which illustrated the interaction of the individual components of energy production in a simple way.
The students and Ms. Werner also discussed about the difficulties of carbon emissions, the greenhouse effect and about possible alternatives of energy production such as solar energy. During the practical application, the students created a basic model for a solar thermal system by only using a shoebox and a plastic bottle.
Ms. Werner also prepared a small surprise while the students where working on the group project, as a reward for their involvement. She made a small solar system consisting of aluminium foil and a heat lamp where our students could dip a cookie in a freshly prepared and delicious chocolate icing.
Many thanks to Ms. Werner and the Stadtwerke Stuttgart for this exciting project which provided practical and easily comprehensible knowledge of the new teaching unit "Energy".

ALLENDALE, Mich. — Following a program-record 16th win for a season in a dramatic, 2-1 (2OT) victory over McKendree on Friday, Ohio Dominican's women's soccer team continues its historical run with an NCAA Championship second round match on Sunday at 1 p.m. at No. 4 Grand Valley State, the top seed in the NCAA's Midwest region.
ODU (16-4-1, 11-2-1 G-MAC) earned its first NCAA Championship win Friday, as senior Alli Pavlik (Cortland, Ohio) scored two goals on assists from sophomore Madeline Reimbold (Fort Wayne, Ohio) and junior Allie Atkinson (Ontario, Ohio) to power the Panthers to the 2-1 (2OT) victory over the Bearcats. The game winning goal by Pavlik came with just over a minute left in the second overtime before the two teams went to a penalty kick shootout. Atkinson fired a rocket at the McKendree keeper from the right wing, and Pavlik came flying down the left side of the field, putting a shot past the Bearcat defense that crossed the goal line to advance the Panthers to the second round of the NCAA Championship.
"This day has been long coming for Ohio Dominican women's soccer," ODU head coach Aimee Haywood said following the victory.
Ohio Dominican might be in uncharted territory, but the Panthers will face a familiar opponent in the Lakers on Sunday. ODU faced 2016 national runner-up Grand Valley three times last season and holds the distinction as being the last GLIAC team to beat the Lakers in conference play, snapping their 69-match home unbeaten streak with a 1-0 victory on Friday, October 17, 2014.
Grand Valley boasts the second-most potent offensive attack in NCAA Division II, averaging 4.19 goals per match. Leading the way for GVSU is standout forward Gabriella Mencotti. The senior ranks second in NCAA Division II in goals scored (26) and points (61) and earned 2016 D2CCA Player of the Year honors. The Lakers have outscored their opponents by a combined margin of 16-0 in their last three matches.
But the Panthers are in the midst of their finest season in program history and are playing their best soccer of the year. ODU has outscored its last eight opponents by a combined margin of 22-3 and will look to carry its momentum into the match with Grand Valley State.
"We're going to keep working," Haywood said. "This group has been working towards this goal since January and they have put in so much work and time on and off the field in their physical work, technical work, their relationships and their leadership."
Ohio Dominican and Grand Valley State square off on Sunday at 1 p.m. at the GVSU Soccer Field in an NCAA Championship second round contest in the Midwest region. The match will be aired on ESPN3 and the winner will move on to face second-seeded Quincy in the Midwest regional final next week.

Bhaskara Satakam (rendered into English) -(8)
alaghu guNa prasidhdhuDagu naTTi ghanuMDoka DishTuDai tanun
valachi yokiMchu keamiDinavaaniki mikkili mealucheayagaa;
telisi kuchealuDokkakoNideM DaDukul tanakichchinan mahaa
phaladuDu kRshNu Datyadhika bhaagyamu laatani kiiDe? bhaaskaraa!
అలఘు గుణ ప్రసిధ్ధుడగు నట్టి ఘనుండొక డిష్టుడై తనున్
వలచి యొకించు కేమిడినవానికి మిక్కిలి మేలుచేయగా;
తెలిసి కుచేలుడొక్కకొణిదెం డడుకుల్ తనకిచ్చినన్ మహా
ఫలదుడు కృష్ణు డత్యధిక భాగ్యము లాతని కీడె? భాస్కరా! (In Telugu font)
A person of great capabilities and fame responds always
to persons who reach and give however little with love
in ever greater measures; didn't Krishna, the ultimate giver,
shower riches on Kuchela in return to little he gave? Oh Bhaskara!
There is a famous 'puranic' (belonging to the age of 'puranas') story behind this poem. The story descries the greatness of friendship between Lord Krishna, one of the 'avatars' (divine forms) of Lord Vishnu, and his childhood friend Kuchela.
Kuchela or Sudama (his original name) used to be the favorite accomplice of Lord Krishna during their childhood days while they both were learning the traditional virtues taught by Sandeepa, the guru. When they grew up, Kuchela became a thorough family man with a large family. He had to struggle a lot to make a decent living. Seeing how hard her husband was struggling, Kuchela's wife, Kamakshi, knowing well that her husband was very much liked by Lord Krishna, advises him to visit Lord Krishna and ask for riches which, she hoped Lord Krishna would nevertheless shower once asked by Kuchela.
Kuchela listens to the advise of his wife and truly visits Lord Krishna in his abode at Dwaraka. But out of the extreme happiness of seeking Lord Krishna in all his grandeur, Kuchela forgets the actual purpose of his visit to Lord Krishna and the advice of his wife to ask him for some riches never crosses his mind at all. However, the all knowing, Lord Krishna understands this and forcefully takes the little quantity of beaten rice that Kuchela carries with him tied to his 'kuchela' (to give as a gift of respect to Lord Krishna), eats it with affection and in turn gives a huge quantity of riches to Kuchela, which Kuchela only realises after reaching home and seeing that the entire place has been filled with large quantities of gold and riches. Sudama from then on came to be known as Kuchela.
The ideal of the story is – 'quantity is not the criterion; how whole heatedly and with devotion you present yourself before the Almighty is the real thing, which is returned by the Almighty in the greatest of measures when the right times arrives'.

Who knows where I can find the painting by Jean Humbert with the portrait of Sideron?
Guan Sideron is one of the black children at the court of Stadtholder William V of the Dutch republic. Sideron, born in Curaçao (West Indies) , came mid-1763 at the stadtholders court in The Hague. He was 7 years old.
Jean Humbert, was commissioned to portray him shortly after the arrival of Sideron (also called: Citron, Cedron and Sieleron). The painting was intended for the court. Possibly the painting is taken, after the invasion in 1795 of the French, to France.
The seven-year-old black Sideron is probably depicted in his precious red and blue livery with a 'more cap' with plumes in the Dutch tricolor, red white blue, on his head.
Later on Sideron and his younger colleague Cupid, are captured several other times in works of Art. Including a few years later by La Farque in 1767 and 1781 by Hendrik Pothoven.
I am looking for this painting for a study about their lives that will be published in a book by publisher Balans in Amsterdam. The Prince Bernhard Culture Fund, VSB fund, Gravin van Bylandt stichting and Mondriaan Fund are supporting a part of the research.
Publication date 21-9-2017
African servants at The Hague court
21 September 2017 to 28 January 2018
In its exhibition African servants at The Hague court the Historical Museum of The Hague will showcase the lives of the children Cupido and Sideron. Originally from Curaçao and Guinea, as boys in slavery they were presented to stadholder William V as a gift. They went on to spend much of their lives as well-paid servants at the Court in The Hague. Whereas exhibitions about court life generally omit references to servants with a non-European background, this exhibition specifically focuses on servants of African descent. By doing so, the Historical Museum of The Hague is highlighting an aspect of Dutch history that remains relatively unknown.

Who says salads are just for the Summer? This Easy Green Salad Recipe has blood oranges, pomegranate seeds, avocados, candied pecans, goat cheese, and crispy wonton strips. It's refreshing and delicious, and the vinaigrette will blow you away.
I've said this before, but I'm a big fan of salads. I think they're boring and unsatisfying. So, when I whip up a salad I make sure it's dynamic and encompasses many different flavors and textures. Your tastebuds will never be bored with this one!
If I'm having this salad as a main dish for lunch or dinner, I'll add grilled chicken or shredded chicken for added flavor and protein. Grilled or blackened shrimp also taste fantastic on this salad.
Blood orange vinaigrette
As I mentioned above, this vinaigrette will knock your socks off. I've been swooning over some flavored olive oils sold by City2Shore Gourmet I discovered a few years ago. Lately, the blood orange flavor has been my favorite. It completely transforms this vinaigrette. If you're wondering the Blood Orange Olive Oil can be substituted for something else…nope…there is nothing else like it! I swear. You will never find olive oil products like these, and certainly not for this price! Enter JZEATS at checkout for 40% off.
I've been making this Blood Orange Salad almost weekly for the past month, it's that good. I brought it to three holiday parties already and it was a huge hit. Salad recipes with fruit, like this one, are great because the fruit adds so much flavor without being labor intensive.
Recipe notes
- You can interchange the fruit in this salad depending on what's in season.
- Play around with different olive oil flavors in the vinaigrette for more unique tastes, like lemon and basil.
- When butternut squash in season, I love to roast it and add to it this salad.
- For protein, try adding grilled chicken or shrimp.

I recently discovered Organic Girl Super Spinach, which is like baby spinach on steroids. It's a mix of baby spinach, baby bok choy, and sweet baby kale. It's full of nutrients and one of the most crisp and tasty lettuce blends I've used. If your grocery store doesn't carry this blend, baby spinach or another one of your favorite lettuce blends will work just fine.

On Monday, they pretty much nailed the tomato panzanella salad, the flounder française, and the cacio e pepe. Maybe more black pepper in the cacio e pepe.
As for the chicken piccata …?
"Red onion?" Vincent Termini Sr., 79, patriarch of the Termini pastry family of South Philadelphia fame, asked in mock alarm. "Who asked for red onion?"
"You did," responded a chorus of voices, explaining that it was, in fact, pickled red onion. Termini, grinning, was unimpressed with the addition.
"No onion," said chef Wesley Fields, mentally checking it off.
This was just another day at the office for Termini and his sons, Vinny and Joe, who are working with restaurateur Michael Schulson on a new restaurant called Giuseppe & Sons. Due to open in early fall at 1523 Sansom St., Giuseppe & Sons will specialize in the bold, two-fisted, Sicilian American cuisine that seldom makes it out of South Philadelphia with its soul intact.
Mr. Vince is as passionate about his fra diavolo as he is about his family's signature cannoli. Fourteen years ago, as Vinny and Joe took over the daily grind at the business that his father, Giuseppe, and his uncle, Gaetano, founded in 1921, Senior opened Mr. Joe's Cafe across Eighth Street from the bakery — in the bakery's original home and beneath his childhood home, no less. Mr. Joe's is a passion project that makes no money while turning out melt-in-your-mouth eggplant parm and penne with braciole. "What I grew up eating," he said.
While heavy construction is underway at Giuseppe & Sons, a daily ritual has been playing out all summer in the basement kitchen of Harp & Crown, the Schulson-owned restaurant next door:
Menu testing.
The challenge: Fields and his kitchen staff must channel their inner Vincent Termini Sr. — but not to replicate Mr. Joe's menu literally. "What he does there is awesome, but it's a 20-seat restaurant and he has a limited menu," Schulson said. "We're going to make all of our pastas. We did a tasting side by side. He doesn't make his own pasta, and we were making our own. He's like, 'I love my pasta,' and I do, too. We did a side by side and he picked the homemade pasta that Wesley made. It was great."
Every restaurant tests recipes, of course, but Schulson is lavishing thousands of dollars on Giuseppe & Sons' food and labor before opening. Fields was hired in January and started cooking in earnest in July with culinary director Leo Forneas, refining the dozens of recipes. Now, with about six weeks before the opening, they are training sous-chefs and, soon, line cooks to execute the approved recipes. Every day, Schulson, maybe his wife, Nina Tinari-Schulson, a Termini or three, and various Schulson employees sit at the tiny tables in Harp & Crown's lounge to sample about eight dishes.
"This is really exciting for me, because I'm not used to the whole restaurant tasting thing," said Joe Termini, who turns 45 on Sunday, Aug. 26. "Eleven o'clock, we're eating like a full-course meal. It's blowing me away. One of the most exciting days for me was when I saw Michael roll up his sleeves in the kitchen and he started to go to town with Wesley. He was listening to Wesley, he was learning, he was tasting. I was like, 'We turned him into an Italian.' "
The journey from South Philadelphia to Rittenhouse began at least five years ago, when a friend introduced Vinny Termini, now 39, and Schulson, now 45.
Schulson had always wanted to open a red-gravy-style Italian restaurant in Center City "in the way that we do it — in terms of ultra-designed restaurants," he said. "A fun, theatrical restaurant with really good food." It would complement Schulson's three Japanese restaurants (Izakaya in Atlantic City, Monkitail in Hollywood, Fla., and Double Knot), his Asian restaurant (Sampan, with an adjacent bar), Independence Beer Garden, and the sprawling Harp & Crown, an American restaurant with a bowling lounge in the basement. He also has two more projects, including a steak house in Rittenhouse, on the way.
Giuseppe & Sons will be set up similar to Double Knot, Schulson's Japanese lounge-restaurant in Washington Square West, which operates from morning through late night — the better to maximize revenue. Giuseppe's ground floor will be a daytime luncheonette where patrons can order chicken parm, veal parm, meatball sandwiches, roast pork, salads, and Termini desserts at the counter; there will be a full bar with drinks and coffee. Downstairs, accessed via a dramatic staircase, will be the dinner house — an old-school Italian restaurant with plaster walls, white carrera marble, black and white tiles, and touches of brass.
But Schulson was not thinking of a Termini restaurant collaboration early on.
"I've always been a huge fan of their pastries and what they do there, and I never really ate at Mr. Joe's," said Schulson, who, like Vinny, is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y.
"And then one day he's like, 'When are you coming in?' We started doing our holiday dinner for our entire company over at Mr. Joe's. We would go in there and we'd smoke a cigar with Senior and I just fell in love with that guy. And then Joey, same thing, and I'm like, 'Wow. These are just good people.' "
"We realized their same commitment to excellence and passion," Joey said. "It's not about the money; it's never about the money. It's all about the art, it's about being passionate about what you do. If you do it that way, success follows. It was refreshing to meet somebody that had that same level of commitment. Next thing I know, I hear, 'Hey, listen. Michael's thinking about doing an Italian concept. And he would like for us to get involved.' I was nervous at first. 'Vinny,' I said, 'I can't take on any more responsibility.' "
The Terminis have several retail locations besides the bakery — whose address, 1523 S. Eighth, coincidentally mimics Giuseppe & Sons' 1523 Sansom. They might know their way around sfogliatelle, but not the restaurant business.
"It was the first thing we told Michael," Vinny said. "This is what we do, and we don't want to do something that may impact us in a negative way because we don't know how to do it. And it wasn't until we discussed it more that we came to the realization that Michael appreciated what we do here. And he has the foresight to kind of say, 'Listen, if we could put our energies together, you can assist us in understanding the Italian cuisine of South Philly, and the South Philly culture. We could do the restaurant stuff. We know how to do that.' "
"My father created this restaurant in honor of my grandfather and some of the things that he used to keep," Joe said. "In a nutshell, Mr. Joe's embodies South Philly. He cooks with passion; he doesn't care for profit margins. And trust me when I tell you we argue with him all the time. All he wants to do is come and cook. That's his passion. He really embodies the beauty of South Philly Italian cuisine. He'll buy the better veal and not charge anything extra — just because he wants to do it the right way. I think Michael tasted that and it kind of all came together. And the customers from Mr. Joe's are extremely passionate about quality, home-cooked food. And when they come in here, it's that home-cooked Italian food that their grandparents or their parents grew up with and put on the table for them."
There was silence.
Vince Sr. spoke up: "My wife [Barbara] has one thing that she says to them: 'Be careful. Your name is Termini, make sure it's done right. That's all.' That's all we ask.' "
Fields, 34 — a native of Puerto Rico who had worked at some top restaurants in Washington before relocating to the Philadelphia area to be near his now-wife, Jasmine Fields Diaz — answered the call for the chef's job in December.
"Wesley came in on his first tasting, and we ate his food," Joe said. "We all looked at each other. We didn't even have to say a word. And Michael was like, 'This guy has talent. This guy's good.' He said this is like one in a thousand that you'll find this soon on the search."
Still, Fields himself needed seasoning in the vernacular — both the terminology and the South Philly soul.
"When he first started cooking for us, it was like, this is wrong," Schulson said. "Don't get me wrong. His food was amazing. He's a really creative chef. But it wasn't what the concept was. He wanted to put some fennel in there, and some fresnos in there, and we're like, 'Stop. Less is more.' We traveled and checked out restaurants. So we go to L.A., Atlantic City, New Jersey, New York. We'll take a car up and literally go to five or six restaurants. It's completely gluttonous. It's the most disgusting thing you'll ever do in your life. You literally go to a restaurant, order almost half the dishes on the menu, get up, go to the next one."
Fields gave the Terminis an early chuckle. "I'll never forget it," Joey said. "He described the food here at Mr. Joe's as Southern Philadelphia Italian cuisine. I remember us sitting at the table like, 'All right. Listen. We got to get you straight. It's South Philly Italian.' If you go to some of our customers, 'Southern Philadelphia Italian cuisine,' they're going to look at you like, 'All right, dude. I'll see you at Buca di Beppo.' "
In Fields' defense, "I'm getting told that it's Italian," he said. "I didn't understand what I understand now. 'Oh, it's an American Italian immigrant story vs. traditional Italian.' To me, I'm still thinking that it's traditional Italian. When I got to meet the family and I got to meet Mr. Vince, Joey and Vinny, they made me feel like I'm part of their family. You really do feel the love that they have and the passion they have for what they do. So we go to different places to get ideas. I start cooking some of these ideas, and although they're great, the family just goes, 'It's not South Philly.' I'm trying to cook what I think what they want, rather than truly understanding what the family is about."
Fields said he told Schulson needed to go back to the drawing board. "He said, 'I agree. We need to send you to cook with Mr. Vince,' " Fields said.
Fields spent a month in the kitchen at Termini, studying Senior. "I'm picking his brain," Fields said. "At the beginning, he was like, 'You're trained, and I'm more family taught, and my kids are trained but we're doing pastry,' and I was like, 'Mr. Vince, forget about all of that. Give me your ideas; give me the foods you grew up with.' It was really personal, and when Mr. Vince let me in, and I slowly started understanding what it was, and what they were eating and what they were growing up with, and identified in the same way that I identify with my grandmother's cooking. So, it clicked, and all of a sudden, we're banging out great tastings."
"You're not getting a plate of spaghetti with veal parm and it's $26," Schulson said. "That's what it is in South Philly. You're going to go in there and you're going to be able to pick your spaghetti, and the spaghetti will range from $8 to $14. And if you want a spaghetti with crab or if you want Bolognese, or you want linguine and clams, you can get a nice-size bowl of that for $12, $14. And you can get a chicken parm for $14, $15, $16, with or without pasta. It's separate. Sometimes you go to South Philly restaurants and you get Sunday gravy, and you're like, 'Oh, my God. I can't walk.' We don't want that. We want this to be a place where people can go once a week."
The chicken piccata will get a garnish of sliced lemons. The lobster fra diavolo will include more tomato sauce. And the desserts?
The Terminis have that covered. Take the cannoli.

Young Leaders 2018 – Meet the Finalists: Angelina Lord
24housing's Young Leaders competition is reaching it's conclusion this week as the five finalists battle to win the competition. Here, we meet the five to hear their thoughts on the competition.
The Young Leaders competition has once again proved to be a showcase of some of the best young talent in the sector.
With more entries than ever before and a hugely competitive semi-final, the competition has proved a huge success.
Angelina, who was Locality Manager at Accord when nominated but has now moved to The Pioneer Group, impressed judges with her semi-final presentation on partnership working between housing associations.
Unfortunately, we did not get time to interview Angelina on camera, so to see what she thinks of the competition, what it would mean to win and much more, please find the Q&A below.
What do you do in your day to day role?
"I manage three housing officers and two housing assistants in the running of the patch with covers 1,200 properties across Birmingham.
"The biggest focus at this time is rent arrears reduction and coming up with new initiatives to come up with reducing voids. I am also part of a panel that is looking at a multi-million pound regeneration of an estate in Birmingham."
How has it been being part of the competition?
"I feel really privileged to be part of the competition and rub shoulders with some really fantastic people. Not just the people on the judging panel but the other Young Leaders.
"It was really good to meet people my age and see what is going on across the country in housing. It has allowed me to have a bit more experience in terms of presentations and also brought me closer to the people I work with as I have been practicing my presentation to those people.
"It has been good to interact with those people that I may not have usually spoken to. It has reaffirmed to me that I have chosen the right career path in the right sector. Despite adversity within the sector at the moment it shows we are all fighting to make people's lives better.
"It has really broadened my horizons in that respect but also helped me in my day to day role."
How did it feel being nominated?
"It was really flattering. I knew that I was one of the youngest people in management here so it was a little overwhelming. It made me feel like I am doing a good job and made me feel more confident."
What would it mean to you to win?
"It would be a massive honour. Already it has made me want to push on in my career in social housing but ultimately I wanted to make my family and friends proud.
"The competition has been important to me personally as I have suffered with anxiety in the past and this competition has been a massive triumph over that. If I do get that far it is going to be a massive blessing."

At the same time, there is a slip in the connection between the belt and the motor shaft. In the long run, it will produce unnecessary vibration and noise. The frequency conversion motor will be better, which is reflected in the shorter pause time. This is also the advantage of DD.

Service technicians from Volvo Trucks North America, Greensboro NC, dealership Pare Centre du Camion Volvo in Levis, Quebec, Canada, emerged victorious at the Volvo VISTA 2009 competition on April 16, according to Volvo information.
VISTA is a hands-on competition to select the top dealer service and parts personnel, and to highlight technician excellence. It is also an exciting and effective way to maintain a high level of technical skill and proficiency in the Volvo dealer network.
The members of the winning team were Daniel Blais, Benoit Raby, and Mario Labrecque. This was the second time this team has won the Volvo VISTA competition in North America--their first win was in 2003.
The other two teams to reach the final rounds represented GATR of Sauk Rapids Inc, Sauk Rapids MN, and Central Valley Truck Center, Fresno CA.
A total of 148 three person teams from 85 Volvo dealers competed in the latest VISTA challenge since its start last October. Participation in the biennial event requires significant dedication of time and effort by the participants. Each team usually consists of a mix of service and parts experts.
There were three rounds of competition involving online technical questions to produce three teams of finalists, who then traveled to Greensboro for the final round. All the answers for the written questions are contained in Volvo service and parts literature, and the finalists were tested on their knowledge of service bulletins and ability to look up parts and service information within the Volvo system. There was also a strong hands-on element to the competition, where the contestants had to troubleshoot pre-determined faults placed on two Volvo trucks and a Volvo D13 engine.
Since the VISTA program began in Scandinavia in 1977, Volvo has seen a strong correlation between dealers with teams in the final round and high customer satisfaction indexes. This has been linked to dealer leadership and willingness to invest in personnel and competence development.

You'll Find Every Tiny Detail About Soil Pollution Right Here
Shalu Bhatti
Apr 23, 2019
Pollution has been a major concern for environmentalists all around the world. Here is all about the need of taking necessary steps to bring an end to the adverse effects of soil pollution! Have a look...
"And Man created the plastic bag and the tin and aluminum can and the cellophane wrapper and the paper plate, and this was good because Man could then take his automobile and buy all his food in one place and He could save that which was good to eat in the refrigerator and throw away that which had no further use....
And soon the earth was covered with plastic bags and aluminum cans and paper plates and disposable bottles and there was nowhere to sit down or walk, and Man shook his head and cried: "Look at this Godawful mess''.
" ~ Art Buchwald, 1970
Soil pollution is the most sensitive environmental issues today! The quote mentioned earlier was written 4 decades ago, and today we can see it happening. Humans are the creators of pollution, be it air, water, or pollution of the soil! With all of us being aware of the severity of soil problems, it is high time now to take care and protect Mother Earth!
What is Soil Pollution
Soil is the layer that covers the earth's surface with both organic and inorganic materials, wherein the organic materials are present in the topmost layer which consists of the decayed remains of flora and fauna, and the inorganic materials would be the rocks which are formed by various physical and chemical changes in the bedrock.
The soil is said to be polluted when the productive layer of soil is contaminated by the human made chemicals, which results in altering the natural properties and productivity of the soil. This can severely affect the flora and fauna on the earth, including the human health!
Causes of Soil Pollution
The main causes for soil pollution include human activities towards 'modernization and technological advancements', that has resulted in massive increase in soil contamination. Here is a list of some of the causes:
Dumping of solid wastes in the ground.
Deforestation, which leads to soil erosion.
Direct flow if chemical wastes from the industries into the soil.
Indiscriminate usage of insecticides, pesticides, and herbicides which contains harmful chemicals like dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and gammaxene.
Indiscriminate use of NPK fertilizers or mixed fertilizers containing harmful non-degradable metals and chemicals.
Leakage of underground septic tanks into the soil.
Harmful chemical fumes mixed up with rain, causing the acid rain to fall on the soil which contaminates it severely.
Use of non-decomposable items like polythene bags which ends up in land fill.
From the aforementioned list of causes of pollution in soil, isn't it clear that all these are originated from human activities! If this remains the case, what will be the scenario that the future generations will come across?
Effects of Soil Pollution
It goes without saying that land pollution effects will be, and still are, at the edge of being fatal! Here are the effects of polluted soil and how it affects the different sections of the living environment! Have a look...
Ill Effects on Agriculture
The food that we eat, everything that we consume in order to live, is originated from agriculture, wherein, soil being the base of a healthy agriculture. Have a look at its ill effects on agriculture!
Loss of nutrients in the soil
Soil erosion
Less fertile land for vegetation
Reduction in crop yield
Reduction in nitrogen fixation
Ill Effects on Ecosystem
Contamination of soil will definitely have adverse effects on the ecosystem which are discussed as follows.
Ecological Imbalance
Permanent change in the chemical properties of soil
Alteration in the metabolism of endemic microorganisms resulting in eradication of the primary food chain, which is inter related with the existence of each and every organism in the world, including humans!
Absence of health in all consumers. It is already evident that due to consumption of DDT affected crops, the egg shells of hens have become weak.
Ill Effects on 'Our Life'!
It is sad, but we humans tend to avoid alarming signals, until we are the ones who suffer the consequences. Here are such effects of soil contamination, which are still visible in some places.
Pollution in drinking water
Contamination in vegetation due to presence of chemicals
Problems of waste management
Polluted environment with harmful gases to breathe in along with foul smell in the environment.
Health issues
Controlling Soil Pollution
Even though the current situation is quite bad, we can still handle it before it gets worse. Here are some thoughtful as well as easy steps which can help in fighting against, or curbing the rate at which the soil is getting polluted day by day.
Minimize or BAN the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Natural and organic pesticides and fertilizers can be used instead!
Recycling of materials will also help control land pollution by minimizing garbage dumps and save natural resources.
Plantation of trees as much as possible will help absorb the harmful chemicals and prevent soil erosion.
Adopting proper waste management techniques for industrial wastes. Treating them biologically to make them less harmful can be the first step for effective waste management for decreasing soil contamination.
Use of thermal remediation in order to raise the temperature of the subsurface of the soil so high that the harmful chemicals are extracted from the soil through vapor extraction.
Unearth the contaminated soil and carry it away from the human resident areas.
Substituting the use of chemicals with organic and biodegradable materials.
Please contribute your bit before it's too late, and all there would be left for man to do is to 'shake his head and cry'! Start now, in your own little way, and save your planet..., save our planet! All the best!
