The perfect solution for a home-cooked dinner after a busy day – One Pan Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Rice Skillet
One of the things I love about living near the city is there's always something to do. Before I moved back to Pittsburgh two years ago, I lived in the middle of nowhere which I nicknamed cow country (my landlord literally had cows). Sure, we had a few stores right in town so I didn't have to travel far for groceries or the bank, but if I wanted to do anything more than that, or even go to stores like Target or Kohls, it was anywhere from 30-45 minutes over the mountain. I tried my best to keep myself busy and find activities to do, but it wasn't easy. Now I'm not far from the numerous neighborhoods Pittsburgh has to offer and about 10 minutes from downtown. I can also venture in any direction away from the city and not be far from something to do or somewhere to see.
Because of this, when my parents visit me (who are about 40-45 minutes away pending traffic), we end up being busy all day. Exploring, eating, sometimes grocery shopping (hey two birds with one stone if we're near where I need to go). That means I'm not home to make dinner. And although we enjoy dining out, my parents do miss my cooking. That puts me in a tough situation – a home cooked meal that doesn't take all afternoon to make and something low key because I'm usually tired from running around all day. And that's how this One Pan Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Rice Skillet was born – ready in under 60 minutes, only one pan, and mostly hands-off cooking. The perfect solution for a home-cooked, filling dinner after a busy day.
The inspiration for this cheesy rice skillet came as a request from my dad after asking what I should make for dinner. His answer was "chicken breast". I said that was boring. He said "with rice?" Ironically I had been craving cheesy broccoli rice that same week, so I thought why not make what I want and throw some chicken into it? Everybody wins.
Making it all in one skillet is the best part. You don't have to cook the rice in a separate pot, which not only saves you time, it also saves you from washing one extra pot. I can't tell you how many times I've been unmotivated to make a dish because I have to cook chicken in one pan, sauce in another, and rice in another. I added lots of broccoli and carrots to this recipe because I love vegetables. Sometimes I'll even add mushrooms or peas, depending on what I have on hand.
One Pan Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Rice Skillet
- 2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 large carrots, peeled and diced
- 1 large boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces and lightly sprinkled with salt
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 cup uncooked white rice (not minute rice)
- 2 1/4 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chopped broccoli
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- In a deep 12-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Once hot, add the onion and carrots. Cook for 5 minutes or until they start to soften. Push them to the side of the pan then add the chicken in the middle. Cook until brown, about 2-3 minutes then flip and cook until brown again, another 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds.
- Push the chicken to the side. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the middle. Once hot, add the rice. Stir until coated and cook 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the broth and salt. Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, cover the pan and cook for 10 minutes. Stir in the broccoli. Cover again and cook for another 3-5 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked and broccoli is tender. Stir in the cheese until melted.

Around 200,000 landlords plan to quit the market following George Osborne's plans to increase taxes for buy-let-let properties, a survey by Kent Reliance suggests.
At the moment, landlords with buy-to-let mortgages can offset the interest on their monthly repayments against their income tax bills on the rent they receive. But George Osborne plans to limit this relief to those who fall into the basic rate of income tax from 2017.
"The worrying thing about the tax hike is that we could see buy-to-let investors continuing to invest after April, but increasing their tenants' rent to offset their own increased costs," says David Blake of Which? Mortgage Advisers. "I hope we don't see this happen, because it would have the opposite impact that the government is trying to achieve with this tax hike by making it harder for first-time buyers to save for a deposit."
The survey also mentions that the private rented sector has grown by 16% in a single year, making it worth around £1.2 trillion.
David adds: "We may see a surge in buy-to-let property purchases before the new tax hike, and I think it's important that people looking to invest in the rental market understand their options as soon as they possibly can."

Kenyan officials typically look to Somalia when it comes to illegal weaponry finding its way into their country.
Thursday's bomb blast at a Mombasa hotel, coupled with a failed attempt to down a plane with shoulder-launched missiles, has again prompted such a focus.
One Somali group that the United States has linked to Al Qaeda, albeit tenuously, is Al Ittihad, an militant Islamic group that carried out attacks in the 1990's against neighboring Ethiopia. The group was blamed for bomb blasts in Addis Ababa.
Such activities prompted the Ethiopian military to root out the group, driving it underground.
The United States connected the group to Al Barakaat, a Somali money-transfer operation whose assets the United States government briefly froze for fear of terrorist links. Eventually, American officials acknowledged that they had acted prematurely.
Still, the Paradise Hotel lies only a few hours' drive from Somalia.

Virginia laws require automobile insurers to have basic minimum coverage to provide payment for crash losses. Liability coverage is required in the amount of $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident. If a motorist causes a crash, his insurer will pay up to $25,000 to each individual victim hurt in the accident, up to a total of $50,000 per accident if the motorist has purchased only minimum coverage. Many drivers chose to purchase more liability coverage than required minimums. Virginia law also mandates drivers purchase both uninsured motorist coverage and underinsured motorist coverage.
Drivers, bicycle riders, and pedestrians must understand how this insurance coverage works to protect them. This is especially true if a motorist is involved in a collision with someone who causes a crash and then leaves the accident scene without stopping. Knowing how to handle hit-and-run claims can mean the difference between getting fair compensation and being left without necessary funds after serious injuries are sustained.
How to Handle Roanoke Hit-and-Run Claims
If the hit-and-run driver was the cause of your motor vehicle accident, you want the driver to be found so you can make a claim on his or her liability policy. You should call the police and provide information needed by law enforcement to help find the driver. Increasingly, social media is being used to help find hit-and-run motorists. Police sound the alert on television news, but also on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites so news gets out quickly. Numerous news stories can be found throughout the U.S. in which social media is used in hit-and-run cases including accidents reported on by Channel 3000, by NBC, by WECT, and by WPDH. Witnesses who saw the accident or who saw a vehicle matching the description of the car involved in the hit-and-run can contact law enforcement so the driver is found.
If police find the driver, your car accident claim can proceed normally. This means negotiating a settlement with the driver's insurer or filing a personal injury or civil lawsuit against the driver. Sometimes, the driver does not have insurance. If this happens, you could personally sue if the motorist has income or enough assets to pay for your losses. If the driver does not have insurance coverage or money, going after him is going to be futile because you wouldn't be able to collect even if you won a case against him.
When hit-and-run drivers are not ever found or when drivers are identified but have no insurance, you should use your uninsured motorist coverage to obtain compensation for crash losses. Notify your insurance company and make a claim according to policy guidelines. Your insurer should negotiate a payout with you to cover your losses and to resolve your claims. In the event your insurance company fails to fulfill its requirements by living up to policy guidelines and providing compensation after a crash with an uninsured driver, you can contact an attorney to file a bad faith claim against the insurer or to deal with the insurance company on your behalf.

School Structure >> Key Stage 2
Key Stage 2
Previously laid foundations are built upon in core subjects
and independence is encouraged as the children grow into
healthy, fit and well-adjusted pupils who enjoy their time at school.
Positions of
responsibility are awarded as children become members of School Council and
House Captains. Increasingly the pupil voice is heard as these representatives
present the views of their peers and organize a range of charity fund raising
activities such as "movie night" and bake sales.
teaching continues in Art, PE, ICT and children begin another Modern Foreign
Language in the shape of French.
continue to experience extracurricular visits and visitors. Our range expands
to include the Museum of Islamic Art, Katara and all its opportunities, Qatar
Foundation and exciting visitors such as vets, archaeologists and pearl divers!
The range of
after school activities increases to include many more sporting activities such
as basketball, tag rugby, tennis and badminton.
Drama, music
and art play an important role. Children are given opportunities each year to
perform music, singing and drama in front of invited audiences. Art exhibitions
are also held in the upstairs art room and examples are also displayed in the upstairs corridors.
Important preparation for transfer to Senior
School takes place. Transition experiences are arranged in Y6 so that this age
group can become accustomed to the expectations of the move to the secondary
Ms. L Goodey is the Head of this Key Stage.

Compassionate Care Leave Policy
Royal Roads University Policy
The Employment Standards Act requires employers to allow employees to take unpaid leave to provide care and support to a family member in situations where the family member is gravely ill with a significant risk of death within 26 weeks.
Employees are entitled to take up to 8 weeks of compassionate care leave within a period of 26-week period. All employees are entitled to take this unpaid leave. An employee does not have to work for a specified period to qualify for leave. "Family member" means a member of the employee's immediate family, or the spouse, child, parent, guardian, sibling, grandchild or grandparent of an employee, and any person who lives with the employee as a member of the employee's immediate family.
Leave of Absence Process:
An employee must obtain a certificate from a medical practitioner stating that the family member has a serious medical condition with a significant risk of death within 26 weeks. Once the employee requests leave from RRU, the employee is entitled to the leave. There is no requirement for the employee to make the request in writing or to give the employer advance notice. However, the employee may want to speak to the employer about the possible need for a leave when they first become aware of it. If the employee has not obtained a certificate the first time leave is required, the employee is still entitled to the leave. The employee would have to give the employer the certificate as soon as it is reasonably possible to do so. The 26-week period begins when a medical practitioner issues a certificate to the employee, or the first time the employee takes a leave, whichever comes first. If the employee takes a leave before getting the certificate, that leave will be included in the 26-week period covered by the certificate. Leaves must be taken in units of at least a week. A "week" starts on Sunday. This means that the 26-week period will start to run from the
Sunday of the week that the certificate is issued or from the Sunday of the week that the employee first took leave. It also means that if an employee needs two days of leave, a week of leave will be deemed to have been used.
Termination of the Leave:
The leave can end in three ways, whichever comes first:
- On the last day of the week in which the family member dies.
- After the employee has had eight weeks off within the period of 26 weeks. The employer will not have to grant any more leave during that 26-week period.
- Twenty-six weeks after the period begins. Even if the employee has not taken eight weeks of leave, the employer is not required to grant any more leave until the employee provides another medical certificate.
If the family member does not die within the 26-week period, an employee may take a further leave after obtaining a new medical certificate stating that the family member has a serious medical condition with significant risk of death within 26 weeks.
Employment Considered Continuous:
An employee who is on compassionate care leave, employment is considered to be continuously employed for the purposes of calculating annual vacation and termination entitlements, as well as for pension, medical or other plans of benefit to the employee. An employer must continue to make payments to any such plans unless the employee chooses not to continue with his or her share of the cost of a plan. The employee is also entitled to all increases in wages and benefits that the employee would have received if the leave had not been taken.
Conditions of Employment to Remain the Same During Leave:
An employer may not terminate an employee, or change a condition of employment because of a leave, without the employee's written consent.
Return to Work:
When the leave ends, the employer must place the employee in his or her former position or a comparable one.

Nasal Adenocarcinoma in Dogs
Nose cancer (or nasal adenocarcinoma) occurs when too many cells in the animal's nasal and sinus passages come together. The disease progresses slowly and occurs both in dogs and cats. Studies have shown nose cancer is more common in larger animal breeds than in smaller ones, and it may be more common in males than females. Options exist when the disease is caught early and aggressively treated.
The condition or disease described in this medical article can affect both dogs and cats. If you would like to learn more about how this disease affects cats, please visit this page in the PetMD health library.
- Sneezing
- Anorexia
- Seizures
- Nasal discharge
- Facial deformity
- Pain in the nose
- Obstructive masses in the animal's nose
A pollutant-filled environment is a known cause of nose cancer in dogs.
Veterinarians may utilize a variety of tools to detect nose cancer. A microscopic camera placed in the nose (rhinoscopy) can be used to look into the nasal cavity, although it may not be effective if blood or masses are obstructing the view. A biopsy will be done for a definitive diagnosis. A diagnosis can also be made if bacterial cultures come back positive. Material from the lymph nodes are sometimes examined to see if the disease has spread (metastasized) into other parts of the animal's body.

This could be achieved by using the COM interface into Domino from the ASP page. It would require that a Notes client be installed on the server however, as the ability to initialize a session is based on the Notes ID referenced in the Notes.INI on the server running the script (it can be Domino server as well – just so you know). Also, the ID has to have access to every Mail database you will access.
Another option is to reverse your plans, export it to SQL first (I would use the DECS product to do this, or something like it anyway) – then use ASP to pull it from SQL instead. Might be easier.

There's a saying in Buddhism philosophy that says, "If you're hungry, then eat". In a lot of ways, this type of reasoning seems downright trivial. However, when taking into account how we complicate the way we live our lives, thinking in terms of opportunity costs and the fear of wasting time, making decisions isn't easy. Certainly in my own time at college, I've turned down a few opportunities with reasons like wanting to buckle down on Saturday so weekdays have lighter loads.Somehow, keeping busy and being productive all the time have become a new competition. Yet, since freshman year, I've learned that working all the time just isn't feasible, and there's no need to feel guilty for slacking off when it's break time.

Planning a trip to study English in Canada can be exciting and even a little scary. You will be immersed in a new culture, learn a new language, make new friends and have tons of new experiences! Doing a little research before you come will help put your mind at ease and prep you for the very best your trip has to offer.
Here are some tips to help you feel more at home in Canada:
Make the most of your time
Although you'll probably only be in Canada for a few months to a year, you'll likely be busy. Here's how to make the most of your time in your new country:
Use your school's resources
Your host school should have some useful online resources for international students. They'll have information about transportation in and around your host city, travel medical insurance for Canada, health and safety, living costs, and Canadian culture. Check out their website for tips and tricks that'll help you get accustomed to your new life.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srRhjkRIWjM]
Once in Canada, seek advice from the student counsellor, participate in school activities and take extra conversation classes, if they're offered!
Want some ideas for where to visit in Canada? Read 5 reasons to choose Canada for your next trip.
Make friends from other countries—learn the language faster
As tempting as it will be to hang out with people who speak your language while studying English in Canada, try to make friends from other countries too. On top of those extra conversation classes, this will help you learn English more quickly and contribute to a richer cultural experience. You'll learn so much from others; plus, you'll have friends to visit when you travel to other countries too!
Learn about Canadian social customs
While you'll be learning a new language in Canada, you'll also be learning to cope in a new culture with different customs. These tips will help your interactions run a little more smoothly.
Names—what to call your teachers and friends
Canadians are from diverse backgrounds and cultures, so there's never just one way of doing things. However, in general Canadians are casual, but polite people. We usually call one another by first name. But, if you're interacting with a teacher or someone of authority, it's best to be more conservative and call them Mr. or Mrs. + last name. Miss is used for an unmarried woman and Ms. (pronounced "Mizz") for a woman without asking about her marital status (this is a private matter in Canada). Often whoever you're communicating with will ask you to call them by their first name.
When a Canadian sets a time to meet, whether it's at their house or outside, they expect you to be on time. If you're running more than 15 minutes late or can't keep the date, make sure to call or text and let them know. It's best not to arrive more than 10 minutes early, if someone has invited you to their place. Your host may be unprepared.
However, if you're attending a job interview or school meeting, you should arrive 10 minutes early instead. Lateness is not acceptable.
Dinner invitations
If someone invites you for dinner at their house, it's always nice to bring a small gift to say "thanks". A bottle of wine, chocolates, flowers, or something from your home country is appropriate. If it's a more formal affair, check with your hosts about the dress code. If you're just going over for a casual visit, there's no need to bring anything.
Here's a great resource for visitors to Canada from the Canadian government that'll help you understand Canadian culture better.
Open a bank account in Canada
If you'll be in Canada for a while, you may want to open a bank account. Be sure to ask about student accounts that o
ffer lower service fees. You'll get a bank card (debit card), which you can use to make deposits or withdrawals and pay your bills at ATMs or ABMs.
You'll usually need two pieces of identification, including one piece with a photo on it; a foreign passport usually does the trick. Some branches also require you to provide a Canadian home address to open a new account. Read more about money and banking for newcomers.
Stay healthy
There's nothing to make you miss home more than getting sick or injured while you're away! Luckily, Canada has good health care and there's travel health insurance to protect you.
About travel medical insurance for students visiting Canada
Canada's health care system is pretty comprehensive; however, health coverage varies based on province. As an international student in Canada, it's important to get a supplementary travel medical plan for Canada.
Many post-secondary institutions have various medical plans available to international students. Visit your school's website to see what kind of coverage they recommend for you. If you don't want to get travel medical through your school, you can get it through your travel agent, or an insurance company in Canada. It should cover you for injuries or accidents that happen on your trip, from a stomachache to a broken bone and more.
Planning to extend your stay past school? Learn about provincial health care coverage for Canadian Immigrants.
Where to get medical care
If you think you need professional care for a minor sickness or injury, like a lingering flu or ear infection, head to a walk-in clinic. You'll find them scattered throughout the city probably close to your home or school. Keep in mind that you can't make appointments at walk-in clinics; just show up and you'll be allowed to see the first available doctor. Note that during busy times, this could take hours.
For serious injuries like a broken arm or leg, severe burn or deep wound, go directly to the Emergency Room at your local hospital, or call 9-1-1 for an ambulance, if you're unable to get yourself there. By the way, an ambulance ride to the hospital isn't free in most provinces. But if you have the right travel medical plan, your provider should cover the cost when it comes time to claim it.
Enjoy your time!
Now that you're equipped with a few key details about life in Canada, enjoy your time! Meet people, have fun and study hard! Want more info about studying in Canada? Check out the Education in Canada website.

Big League Dreams Litigation Update
Gilbert, AZ 85234
(West of Power Rd, on Elliot)
Park Hours
This park is currently closed for repairs.
Updated 2/7/2018
Due to litigation between the Town and Big League Dreams Gilbert, LLC, the Town will not be responding to requests for comment or information regarding Elliot District Park or the legal proceedings. For general information about park repairs, and other frequently asked questions, please see below.
In response to the Town's closure of Elliot District Park in July 2017 due to significant safety issues at the Park, BLD filed a motion for preliminary injunction requesting that the Court order the Town to reopen Elliot District Park and allow BLD to resume operations. The preliminary injunction hearing was held on January 23, 2018, where the Court took testimony from BLD and Town staff to determine whether the Town's decision to close the Park was unlawful, arbitrary, or unreasonable.
On January 29, 2018, the Court filed a minute entry order denying BLD's request for an injunction. Specifically, the Court found that the Town's decision to close the Park was both lawful and within its authority. The Court noted that, in determining whether to close the Park, the Town relied on the opinions of two independent structural engineers, as well as the recommendation of the Town Engineer.
In 2005, the Town of Gilbert entered into a contract with Big League Dreams Gilbert, LLC (BLD) to operate and maintain the Town's beautiful, first-class sports park. Unfortunately, the Town has lost confidence in BLDs' ability or willingness to honor the terms of its agreement, and the Town Council has terminated BLD's contract. Safety and protecting the economic health of our community are the Town's priorities. We look forward to making the necessary repairs and reopening the park in early 2019.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are these repairs needed?
During the course of the design planning phase for park repairs, additional safety issues with the structural integrity of the outfield aesthetic grandstands were discovered, which has necessitated the immediate closure of the park out of an abundance of caution for the safety of park users. Shortcomings with the wall anchoring system have made the walls susceptible to movement – especially in windy conditions. You can review the original inspection report as well as a second opinion report from structural engineers here. With the imminent start of monsoon season, the Town is acting to protect the safety of our citizens.
ow will the Town pay for these repairs?
Funds for the park improvements will come from the proceeds of a settlement agreement that the Town reached with regard to construction issues when the park was originally built in 2007. The Town is also seeking monetary reimbursement from BLD for necessary repairs due to deferred maintenance and due to BLD's contractual obligations to keep the park in a "first class" condition.
How can Gilbert close this park?
Elliot District Park is a public park owned by the Town. According to Municipal Code Section 46-32a, the parks and recreation director may temporarily close any part of a town recreation facility or riparian preserve for performance of routine maintenance or preparation for a reserved use, or when deemed necessary to protect public safety, property or wildlife. Notice shall be posted when an area has been closed.
The Town notified BLD about these safety issues in May, and asked BLD to address them in a timely manner. Unfortunately, BLD failed to do so and, because of the monsoon season and the threat of high winds, the Town was forced to take immediate action to protect the public.
Will the Town allow BLD to bring in their own engineer?
In April, BLD filed a lawsuit against the Town, and the Town then filed a countersuit against BLD. The Town and BLD currently are working under a process adopted by the court and is open to BLD having its own structural engineer conduct a reasonable inspection through the court rules.
Are there really safety issues or is this a "hidden agenda"?
At a recent press conference, BLD stated that there are no safety issues at the park and suggested that the Town has some sort of "hidden agenda." BLD's accusation is false. The Town has reports from two structural engineers who found that the grandstands are dangerous and unsafe. Addressing these significant safety concerns at this facility, and public safety in general, is the Town's top priority. Unfortunately, BLD has failed to live up to its obligation to properly maintain the park and consequently, the park needs additional repairs directly related to BLD's failure to properly maintain the park. The Town's only "agenda" is to restore the park to "first class condition" as soon as possible, to protect the taxpayers' investment, and to ensure the safety of all Town residents and visitors of the park.
What is going to happen to the leagues at this park?
The Town has offered to work with BLD on alternative arrangements to accommodate their league and tournament play whenever possible during the closure.
For more information regarding scheduling, refunds, or other game-related inquiries, please visit http://gilbert.bigleaguedreams.com.
For individual field rental requests, not part of a BLD league or tournament, please contact John Kennedy, Parks and Recreation Manager – Programs and Services at 480.503.6231 (office); 480.737.8230 (cell) or email at firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions you may have.
Why are the soccer fields closed if the safety concerns are with the grandstands?
We had to close the soccer fields because the access walkway to the Field House is also affected by the safety concerns related to the grandstands.

Mahjong, a popular traditional Chinese tile-based game that commonly requires four people to play, may be added to the Olympic Winter Games along with several other "mind sports" as soon as 2022.
Chen Zelan, the newly appointed chairman of the International Mind Sports Association (IMSA), said on Wednesday that it is applying to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to include six mind sports in the Olympic Winter Games as indoor events, The Paper and Apple Daily in Taiwan report.
They are contract bridge, chess, Go, Chinese chess (xiangqi), draughts and mahjong.
According to Chen, the IOC has been considering expanding coverage of the Olympic Winter Games due to the fact that the number of participating countries is limited compared with the Olympic Summer Games.
IMSA, which listed mahjong as a one of the mind sports in April, is aiming to make the six games official events in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, Chen said.
She said contract bridge and chess have higher chances than the rest to first become official events in the Olympic Winter Games as they have both been officially recognized by the IOC as sporting events, adding that IMSA's plan is to have mahjong as a demonstration event.
Mahjong players in different places such as China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan, where the game is most popular, have different rules, Sohu Sports and China.org.cn report.
To solve the issue, the Mahjong International League set up in Switzerland in 2015 with members from 40 countries and regions has made the rules uniform for players worldwide. It has won recognition from IMSA.
That helps mahjong move one step closer to be being officially an Olympic event.
China and Japan have been trying to make mahjong listed as a world heritage, with netizens in both countries leading the campaign.

Ocala Prenuptial Agreements
Be Proactive by Getting a Premarital Agreement
Whether you are getting married for the first time or you have done this before, a prenuptial agreement is important. This document allows you to protect your property. It allows your future spouse to protect his or her property. It allows both of you to protect your respective estates so they can pass on appropriately to your children. Simply put, getting a prenuptial agreement is being proactive.
At the law firm of Anne E. Raduns, PA, we can help you take this proactive step. We will see that full and fair disclosure of both parties' assets and debts takes place. In addition, we can time the creation of the document appropriately, since it needs to be created at least 60 days prior to the wedding.
Do I need a prenuptial agreement?
You are getting married. You want your marriage to last. You don't want to think about the possibility of it ending prematurely in divorce. Despite this, we encourage you to consider the fact that circumstances can change. If they do and a divorce is necessary, a prenuptial agreement will make things easier. If your marriage lasts, and we hope it does, then you have lost only the small amount of time and money put into the creation of the agreement.
Prenuptial Agreements Provide the Peace of Mind You and Your Loved One Need
It is important to note that prenuptial agreements protect both parties, as well as children. Typically, these agreements focus on how property will be handled.
They address:
- How property will be passed on to children from a previous marriage in case you die before your new spouse
- How family heirlooms will be divided
- How family-owned businesses and business interests will be divided
- How alimony will be handled in the case of a divorce
In addition to handling prenuptial agreements, our law firm can assist with the creation of postnuptial agreements. Essentially, crafting such an agreement serves to anticipate and resolve most of the major disputes involved in a divorce before they have a chance to cause problems for you and your spouse.
Contact a Ocala divorce lawyer at our firm today to discuss whether a premarital agreement is right for you.

Flower Power Bracelet: The Bluescomments (1) September 11th, 2008 in gallery
This particular piece started off as an exercise for keeping a sketchbook. A post in Craftsylish inspired me to keep one of my own. This was one idea I had while I was at a cafe. Since I promised myself I wouldn't throw any idea away, I quickly sketched it onto a post-it I always have with me. I decided to go and make it yesterday.
It is made with 24g and 26g silver wire, pearls, new jade and jewelry wire. The flowers were a bit time consuming and I spent most of the evening finishing it. I wouldn't sleep until I was done making it.
It's quite light and dainty. Plus the wire woven into each flower adds texture and color to this simple design.

Festival 46: Humorous and Serious Trees
Hie thee over to Vanessa's Trees and Shrubs blog for the April 1 edition of the Festival of the Trees! (Yes, she did squeak it in before midnight.) Vanessa titles it "humorous and serious trees," but really, "amazing things that happen in trees" might be a more apt way to describe some of these submissions, from the three different species of fish that climb trees, to the golfer who climbs trees to take shots at trapped balls (in one case going on to place second), to the trees that still protect themselves from extinct mastadons, even in the heart of the city. But my favorite of all was the fellow who tuned the tree outside his window and made music from it — this is truly not be missed. So go check it out.

Benny died after consuming chicken jerky treats from Canyon Creek Ranch Brand, a company of Waggin' Train, LLC., i.e., Nestle Purina.
An Illinois man who claims tainted dog treats killed his Pomeranian has sued Nestle Purina and Wal-Mart for $5 million in federal court, becoming the latest dog owner to allege publicly that treats made out of chicken jerky from China have caused sickness or death.
Dennis Adkins' lawsuit suit came as Sen. Sherrod Brown, D.-Ohio, renewed his call for the Food and Drug Administration to take action against what he said was "possibly contaminated" Chinese dog treats. During a Senate hearing Thursday, Brown urged the FDA to "be as aggressive as possible to find the source of this contamination."
Adkins claims he bought "Yam Good" dog treats, made by the Waggin Train division of Nestle Purina, at an Illinois Wal-Mart on March 11, 2012 because the package advertised the contents as "wholesome, good-tasting & nutritious." Yam Good treats , manufactured in China, feature a yam center wrapped in chicken jerky.
PHOTOS: Dogs who've died because of 'tainted' treats.
According to Adkins, he fed his nine-year-old female Pomeranian Cleopatra one treat per day, chopped into two or three pieces, on March 13, 14 and 15. "Mr. Adkins made no other changes in her diet," alleges the complaint.
The suit also claims that Adkins did not give any of the treats to his nine-year-old male Pomeranian, Pharaoh.
On March 26, Cleopatra died of kidney failure, says Adkins. Pharaoh never got sick.
In November 2011, as Adkins notes in his complaint, the Food and Drug Administration warned that some pet owners and veterinarians were alleging that dogs who ate chicken jerky treats manufactured in China had become ill, some with kidney failure, and that some of the pets had died. The FDA's website says that consumers have alleged "vomiting, diarrhea, sometimes with blood" and "kidney problems," sometimes within hours of ingesting the products.
Adkins questioned why the Yam Good package did not make reference to the FDA warning, and instead told dog owners they should feel "confident that [they] are giving [their dogs] a wholesome treat that is both healthy and delicious." As of April 16, states the suit, the Waggin' Train website does include warnings about its products.
Adkins asks for compensatory and punitive damages, and also for an injunction against the sale of the product.
Nestle Purina has declined to comment on the litigation, but spokesperson Keith Schopp has previously told ABC News that the safety of pets is the company's utmost priority and that production of the treats in China is held to the highest quality and safety standards. "Our chicken jerky treats are safe to feed as directed," said Schopp.
Sen. Brown has been urging Congress to take the Chinese dog treat issue seriously, citing ineffective trade laws that have allowed unsafe products to slip into the U.S.
"[Pet owners] shouldn't have to worry about the safety of the food they give their pets. It's an example again of a trade issue transforming into a safety issue," Brown said on the floor of the Senate in February. "I'm calling on the FDA to accelerate its investigation of the imported pet food, especially food imported from China, where the possibility of food contamination is higher. That's the FDA's job."
On Thursday, he urged FDA chief Dr. Margaret Hamburg to "continue all efforts to find the root cause of the contaminant," according to a statement from Sen. Brown's office.
"I remain concerned about the numerous pet owners that could still be buying these treats, unaware that of the possible contamination, and feeding the treats to their beloved dogs," said Sen. Brown.

These activities can be used with a whole range of levels.
Guess the object
- Divide class into groups. Each group makes a list of three or four objects. Focus on words recently studied, words for objects in the room or words for objects related to a topic e.g. home, studying, music etc.
- One group must guess the objects of another group by asking questions e.g. 'Is it made of metal? Can you find one in this room? Is it bigger than this table?'
- Set a limit to the number of questions possible for each object (e.g. six to eight questions).
- Give a point to the team if the object is not guessed/guessed within the number of questions allowed.
- Guide students by providing the lists of objects yourself or focussing on specific question types to suit your classes.
Question time challenges
- This approach can be used as a regular lesson slot or filler to change pace.
- Give one question jumbled up on slips of paper. The first pair or group to unscramble it correctly are the winners.
A longer version
- Take four or five question types recently covered by students.
- Jumble the words of the questions and write on one worksheet or on slips of paper in an envelope.
- Challenge small groups or pairs to re-order.
- Run through the questions scoring two points for each correctly ordered question.
- Then challenge students again to think of logical answers to the questions or to use a couple of the questions in a mini dialogue.

Happy First Day of Spring!
And what better to celebrate than spring green nails? This is Navigate Her, from Essie's spring collection of the same name. I love it, even though it makes my hands look super red. It's not too light or too dark, and it has just the right amount of yellow in it, making it different from the mint greens that have been super popular the last few years.
Shown is three coats with no topcoat.
Since I had a few other somewhat similar greens, I thought I'd see how they compare. From left to right: butter LONDON Bossy Boots (from this year's spring/summer collection), Navigate Her, and Essie Da Bush (from last year's resort collection). All are three coats.
As you can see, both are lighter than Navigate Her, but Bossy Boots is pretty much the same tone, while Da Bush (which is also a dupe for OPI's Stranger Tides in case you were wondering) has much more grey in it. I like all of them, especially since they're different enough that I can justify owning them all.

CHICAGO, May 8, 2018 — Univa, a leading innovator in on-premise and hybrid cloud workload management solutions for enterprise HPC customers, today announced that Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ:MLNX) selected Univa's solution, mainly Navops Launch, to extend its on-premise EDA cluster to the cloud, providing Mellanox with cost-effective, on-demand capacity.
Mellanox is a leading supplier of end-to-end Ethernet and InfiniBand intelligent interconnect solutions for servers, storage and hyper-converged infrastructure. Given that Fortune 500 data centers and half of the world's top 500 fastest supercomputers employ Mellanox products in their operations, the company understands the value of smart innovation and operational efficiency. Thus, Mellanox was seeking a solution from a trusted partner that would bridge their current cluster management software to a future with a robust scheduler, while leveraging hybrid cloud.
"Mellanox Technologies provides high-performance solutions to a range of customers looking to innovate with intelligent, interconnected solutions for servers, storage and hyper-converged infrastructure," said Doron Sayag, IT enterprise computing services senior manager at Mellanox Technologies. "Integrating an enterprise-grade cluster management tool like Navops Launch into our own on-premise data center allowed us to better address peak performance needs with seamless bursting of our HPC cluster to the cloud during tape-outs. By operating more efficiently, we get to provide our customers with exceptional products for years to come."
Navops Launch enabled Mellanox to increase the efficiency of its on-premise data center usage while addressing unmet peak performance needs with a cloud bursting "pay-as-you-go" scenario, giving users the ability to simultaneously run as many jobs as required. As engineers routinely scale workloads beyond the local infrastructure, their productivity has been enhanced significantly. Additionally, by intelligently leveraging the cloud during peak usage periods, the team has reduced time-to-market and gained capacity without the need for additional infrastructure – all while reining in costs with a reliable enterprise-grade solution.
"We have witnessed a combination of high-level customer service responsiveness and continuous innovation that has fueled Mellanox's tremendous growth for the past two decades," said Gary Tyreman, president and CEO Univa. "Therefore, they understand the importance of remaining focused on the complex development processes that drives its next generation of products. Univa appreciates working with Mellanox to give them the ability to leverage the latest hybrid-cloud technologies through a reliable and cost-effect enterprise-grade solution that will give them the ability to grow and respond quickly to its customers changing needs."

The Landscape of Craft – How We Got Here
From the now-ubiquitous Samuel Adams commercials urging viewers to "Take Pride in Your Beer," to appearances by Dogfish Head Beer founder Sam Calagione on both The Today Show and The Martha Stewart Show, craft beer has slowly made its way into American households, and is undeniably one of the fastest growing categories within the beverage industry. According to recent Brewers' Association data, craft breweries sold nearly 11.5 million barrels of beer in 2011, up from 10.1 million barrels in 2010, with total dollar sales of craft beer leaping to an
estimated $8.7 billion, up 15 percent the previous year.
Despite significant gains in sales and consumption, mainstream education and awareness of craft beer remains hazy. And while miniscule marketing budgets play a role, the biggest barrier to consumer acceptance may be the very notion of craft beer itself. What differentiates a "craft" beer from a "regular" beer? What is a "craft" brewery? And, better yet, what the heck does "craft" even mean?
Before getting too deep into terminology, let's back up for a moment, and take a brief look at the evolution of craft beer in the U.S., as well as the laws and organizations that govern the category.
Though small breweries have a long history in the U.S., the 1970s marked a turning point for independent and regional brewers, as much as it did for the notion of American beer. Within the decade, consumers began to transition away from consumption of traditional beer styles and toward that of effervescent, low-calorie lagers, often referred to as "light beer." The shift was, in large part, perpetuated by highly effective and widely visible marketing campaigns engineered by the country's large, industrial-sized breweries, including Anheuser-Busch, Miller, and Coors.
Changing consumer tastes resulted in a huge decline in the number of independent brew houses and a spate of brewery consolidation. By the end of the 1970s, there were only 44 breweries in the U.S. with expectations that the number would eventually drop into the single digits. (A quick fast-forward, just for comparison's sake: at last count, there are nearly 2,000 American breweries in operation today.)
Spurred by a lack of bold and flavorful options in the marketplace, a growing number of individuals began to embrace homebrewing, even though the craft (hint, hint) was, at the time, an illegal one. By the end of the decade, however, grassroots lobbying efforts to repeal federal restrictions on home-brewed beer and wine finally succeeded. In 1978, U.S President Jimmy Carter signed into law a bill that allowed for the production of 100 gallons for a single adult, and 200 gallons for a household with two or more adults.
The new law had a significant impact in reviving disappearing beer styles and brewing traditions, and opened the door to a few small breweries, including The New Albion Brewery in Sonoma, Calif., and the Boston Beer Company, maker of Samuel Adams. These breweries became the foundation for a new so-called "craft beer" industry, which crept into the 1980s and quietly made its mark via the popularity and growth of higher quality beers accompanied by a steady rise in regional distribution.
The renewal of small breweries also gave rise to a number of industry and trade organizations established to support the growth of craft beer through the development of knowledge sharing programs, sales and marketing support, and government relations boards. These organizations included the Association of Brewers (which also included the American Homebrewers Association and the Institute for Brewing and Fermentation Studies) and the Brewers' Association of America.
In 2005, the two groups merged to form the Brewers Association (BA), a member-funded and operated trade association whose mission statement is "to promote and protect small and independent American brewers, their craft beers and the community of brewing enthusiasts." In addition to supporting the overall promotion of craft beer, the BA plays a key role in defining industry terminology and the designation of craft brewery segments.
According to BA guidelines, an American craft brewery must adhere to three specific guidelines: it must be small, independent, and traditional. Here's what they mean by that:
SMALL: Production of less than 6 million barrels per year, excluding flavored malt beverages.
INDEPENDENT: A brewery that is has less than 25 percent ownership or controlling economic interest by a member of the alcoholic beverage industry that is not a craft brewer.
TRADITIONAL: A brewery that produces only malted barley-based beer or has at least 50 percent of its production volume in either all-malt barley beers or in beers which use adjuncts (such as rice and corn) to enhance rather than lighten flavor.
The Brewers Association defines segments of the craft beer industry in terms of production volume as well as how breweries distribute their products. The BA designates craft breweries as follows: microbrewery, brewpub, contract brewing company, and regional craft brewery.
MICROBREWERY: A microbrewery produces less than 15,000 barrels (1 barrel = 31 gallons) of beer per year. Microbreweries must sell 75 percent or more of their beer off-site and have relative flexibility in the way they can distribute, pursuant to individual state regulations in which the brewery operates. In most states, a microbrewery can sell its products via the traditional three-tier system (brewer to wholesaler to retailer to consumer), and/or the two-tier system (brewer acting as wholesaler to retailer to consumer), and/or direct to consumers through on-premise sales.
Microbreweries have become the fastest growing segment in the craft beer industry; of the 250 new brewery openings in 2011, 174 were microbreweries. A significant percentage of microbreweries start out as a "nanobrewery," a very small brewery operation often launched by home brewers attempting to turn their craft into a career. Like any other brewery, and despite its tiny size, a nanobrewery must be licensed by the U.S. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB).
BREWPUB: A brewpub is a restaurant-brewery that sells 25 percent or more of its beer on-site. The beer is brewed primarily for on-premise sales and often dispensed directly from a brewpub's tanks. Brewpubs can sell beer "to go" and distribute to off-site accounts, however, the BA re-categorizes a brewpub as a microbrewery if its off-site beer sales exceed 75 percent of beer production.
Brewpubs currently represent the largest segment of craft beer. Of the 1,940 craft breweries in operation last year, 1,063 were brewpubs.
CONTRACT BREWING COMPANY: A contract brewery is one that hires another brewery to produce its beer – known as the producer-brewery – and/or a brewery with limited capacity that hires another brewery to produce additional quantities of its beer. A contract brewery handles the marketing, sales, and distribution of its beer, while the brewing and packaging of its beer is left to its producer-brewery.
Contract brewing is often the quickest and least expensive route to starting a new beer company. Most contract breweries pay flat fees to its producer-brewery based on a number of barrels produced. The benefits are clear: a contract brewery can build its brand without the difficult and time-consuming process of acquiring state and federal brewing licenses and none of upfront capital costs associated with the construction of a brewing facility.
A similar business model is that of an "alternating proprietorship," or "altprop" for short. While the BA does not designate an alternating proprietorship as a specific craft beer segment, the term is used by the TTB to describe an arrangement in which two or more people share the physical premises of a brewery. In most cases, an alternating proprietorship represents a contract in which an existing brewery with excess brewing capacity rents space and equipment to a tenant brewer, often a new entrant into the beer business.
REGIONAL CRAFT BREWERY: A regional craft brewery produces between 15,000 and 6,000,000 barrels of beer annually. With a growing number of microbreweries increasing production and expanding into new distribution territories, the number of regional craft breweries is on the rise, yet the segment is still the smallest within the craft beer industry. Nevertheless, these larger operations represent the largest sales growth for craft beer, so much so that the Brewers Association created what has come to be known as "The Sam Adams Provision."
Up until 2011, the Brewers Association based the production ceiling for a craft brewery on a 1976 tax code which defined "a small brewery" as one that produced less than 2 million barrels of beer per year. By 2010, however, the Boston Beer Company (BBC), the largest craft brewery in the country and manufacturer of Samuel Adams beer, was approaching 2 million barrels of production, with expectations that it would exceed that amount within a short number of years.
While the BA refuted claims that it was changing its definition of craft beer in response to the growth of BBC, on December 20, 2010, the BA's board of directors voted to alter the BA's designation of "small" craft brewer to refer to "any independent brewery that produces up to 6 million barrels of traditional beer." Notably, BBC is currently – and has always been – the only craft brewery that produces over 1 million barrels of beer.

|Wullimann, Mario F.; Hofmann, M. H.; Meyer, Dietrich L. (1991): The valvula cerebelli of the spiny eel, Macrognathus aculeatus, receives primary lateral-line afferents from the rostrum of the upper jaw. In: Cell and Tissue Research, Vol. 266, No. 2: pp. 285-293
In the spiny eel, Macrognathus aculeatus, anterodorsal and (to a lesser degree) anteroventral lateralline nerves project massively to the granular layer of the valvula cerebelli, throughout its rostrocaudal extent. The posterior lateral-line nerve terminates in the corpus cerebelli. Thus, valvula and corpus cerebelli are supplied with mechanosensory input of different peripheral origins. An analysis of the taxonomic distribution of experimentally determined primary lateral-line input to the three parts of the teleostean cerebellum reveals that the eminentia granularis always receives such input, and that the corpus cerebelli is the recipient of primary lateral-line input in many teleosts. The valvula, however, receives primary lateral-line afferents in only two examined species. In M. aculeatus, the massive lateral-line input to the valvula probably originates in mechanoreceptors located in the elongated rostrum of the upper jaw, a characteristic feature of mastacembeloid fishes. This projection to the valvula may therefore represent a unique specialization that arose with the evolution of the peculiar rostrum.

Johanna Gabrielle Ottelie "Tilly" Edinger
Dr. "Tilly" Edinger was a paleontologist and during her career she created the new science of paleoneurology.
Edinger earned her doctorate from the University of Frankfurt in 1921, focusing her dissertation on the skull and cranium of a fossilized Nothosaurus. The fossil she examined was somewhat rare because of the natural endocast–where sediment filled the cranium and preserved its internal features. Publishing her first research paper describing the endocranial cast of the Nothosaurus and her discovery that mammalian brains left imprints on fossil skulls, she laid the foundations for the field of paleoneurology.
Like many women scientists at the time her first "job" was unpaid as a paleontology research assistant at the University of Frankfurt until 1927 when she moved to the Naturmuseum Senckenberg where she oversaw the curation of vertebrate remains. At the museum she would begin writing her book in an effort to collate comparative and geological context into the field of paleontology. Die Fossilen Gehrine, or The Fossil Brain was published in 1929.
Edinger's life and work became much more difficult starting in 1933 with the rise of the Nazi party. The museum did its best to hide her Jewish heritage for five years but once discovered she was forced to flee to America. Offered a research position at the Museum of Comparative Zoology of Harvard University she continued her work on fossil brains, publishing a major book on the evolution of the horse brain including the conclusion that the brain's evolution must be studied based on fossil evidence not on comparing modern species.
In 1963 she was elected as the first female president of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology and was reelected to the position the next year. The same year she made the decision to retire from full time teaching and research due to increasing difficulty communicating as a result of deafness that had been part of her life since she was a teenager. Even in retirement she continued to contribute to the field as a writer and in an advisory capacity until her death from a car accident in 1967.

text: Pilot Busted With 230 Pounds of Pot After 3-Airport Sting: Cops It wasn't easy for Texas authorities to get Wayne Brunet to come down from the sky By Jenn Gidman, Newser Staff Posted Mar 21, 2017 3:54 PM CDT 38 comments Wayne Brunet (KVUE) (Newser) – If you fly your small plane solo from Medford, Ore., to South Texas with only one stop to gas up during the 2,000-mile flight, you're either going for some sort of endurance record or you're trying to get to your destination as quickly as possible for … reasons. The Department of Homeland Security and Texas police suspected the latter about Wayne Douglas Brunet's flight, which someone had called in to DHS Sunday as being suspicious, the KVUE reports. The reasons for his efficient flight, authorities say, were because he was transporting 230 pounds of vacuum-packed pot, plus $6,000 in cash. Federal officials began keeping track of the 64-year-old's plane after the initial tip, and when Brunet tried to land at a remote airport in Bulverde, Texas, he spotted authorities and zipped back into the clouds, his arrest affidavit notes. The Houston Chronicle details the next leg of his trip, which was apparently to another airport in Lago Vista—where more law enforcement sat waiting and he again aborted his landing. Going for that charmed third attempt, Brunet then finally set down at Llano's airport, and it's here where officials say he tried to make a run for it before being nabbed by the Department of Public Safety. Inside the plane, per authorities, were 15 duffel bags with the marijuana and cash. Brunet was charged with pot possession with intent to distribute, which could net him between five and 40 years in federal prison if he's convicted. (A police dispatcher was busted with lots of pot—in her basement.)

Prostate cancer is the cancer that occurs in the male's prostate.
It is the most common cancer in men >50 years of age.
Signs and symptoms include weak urinary stream, polyuria, nocturia, hematuria, erectile dysfunction, pelvic pain, back pain, chest pain, lower extremity weakness or numbness and loss of bowel or bladder control.
MRI, with or without targeted biopsy, detects more clinically significant prostate cancer and less clinically insignificant prostate cancer than the standard transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS)-guided approach, enabling more than one-quarter of patients to safely avoid a biopsy altogether.
Men with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) have similar health-related quality of life (HRQoL) with apalutamide given on top of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) vs ADT alone, according to new data from the SPARTAN (Prostate Androgen Receptor Targeting with ARN-509) trial presented at the European Association of Urology (EAU) 2018 Congress.
Patients with urologic cancers are more likely to attempt suicide, highlighting the need for increased psychiatric intervention for these patients at an earlier stage, according to findings presented at the European Association of Urology (EAU) 2018 Congress.
The androgen receptor inhibitor apalutamide prolonged metastasis-free survival (MFS) by approximately 2 years in men with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) who are at high risk of metastatic disease, according to findings of the SPARTAN* trial.

The D.C. Judicial Nomination Commission last month recommended three candidates to fill a vacancy on the D.C. Superior Court. President Barack Obama announced the nomination yesterday—and his pick was not on the list.
Obama went with Stuart Nash, first nominated under President George W. Bush to replace Judge Rufus King III, who is taking senior status. Earlier this year, Nash withdrew his nomination for that vacancy, according to the White House. Obama chose a D.C. magistrate judge, Marisa Demeo, for King's seat.
Nash, associate deputy attorney general and director of the Justice Department's Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Forces, was tapped to replace retiring Judge
Rafael Diaz, who has served on the bench since 1994. Twenty-two lawyers, including eight magistrate judges, applied for the seat. Nash was not identified as an applicant.
In May, the JNC, a public commission that reviews and recommends candidates for Superior Court and the D.C. Court of Appeals, recommended three names to the White House to fill Diaz's seat.
The JNC recommended Jeffrey Gutman, a professor at George Washington University Law School; Sharon Larkin, deputy assistant general counsel at the Government Accountability Office in the Procurement Law Division; and Elizabeth Shapiro, deputy director of the Justice Department's Federal Programs Branch. Here's a little more background.
JNC members have previously noted that the president has no obligation to pick from the list of recommended candidates. Nash, a former prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney's Office in D.C., could not be reached for comment.

Graz und Region Graz
The futuristic looking Murinsel and the Graz Art Museum fit harmoniously into the old town. The opera, theatre, open-air and cabaret theatres and the cathedral in the mountain offer everything the heart desires - from classic opera or drama to the Diagonale Film Festival, from styriarte to the street art festival La Strada or ""Aufsteirern". Don't forget Graz Advent with the heavenly lighting, ice nativity set and atmospheric Christmas markets.
But cuisine is another major topic! Cosy, authentic Styrian food or stylish modern restaurants - quality is top priority in Austria's only culinary capital. From the city to the country in 10 minutes with tremendous opportunities to dive into enchanting nature and culture: the Kesselfallklamm [gorge] is wildly romantic, the Lurgrotte is mysterious, the Schöckl mountain is sporty, the Austrian sculpture park is full of art, the Rein Abbey and the Austrian open-air museum in Stübing are impressive and Frohnleiten is picturesque. There are festivals, theatre and culinary events everywhere you look. If you want to discover these places by bike, the Mur Cycling Path and The Styrian Wine Country Cycling Tour are just the things for you. Both tours combine the old town with the striking Schlossberg [castle mountain] right in the middle of the most beautiful destinations of the Graz region.
The title of culinary capital can be properly experience along the Styrian Wine Country Cycling Tour. The tour initially takes you through the region to the west of Graz that is still predominantly agricultural and then brings you right into the heart of the old town. Because of this route, you can easily discover the culinary side of Graz in a variety of ways and facets. There's no shortage of wine either!
A city of the world. Since being included in the UNESCO World Heritage list, the Graz old town has been particularly distinguished: from the historic centre and the attractive rooftops to the magnificent Castle Eggenberg. And that's not all. Graz is also a UNESCO City of Design and cuisine capital. Culture and nature, on the other hand, form a single unit in the Graz region. Here there is contemporary art and authentic folk culture, and plenty of cultural enjoyment in the middle of the green countryside. The region also impresses with grottoes and churches, climatic spas, an open-air museum and much more.
