Rescue Relief is an IndyHumane program that rescues slightly damaged bags of food and pet supplies from local pet supply warehouses and then redistributes them to over 143+ rescues and shelters across Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Kentucky. One of our partners in Ohio, United Pet Fund, is a similar distribution facility like ours and has additional members in their program that are impacted by the donations they pick up from us.
Each rescue pays a small fee per visit, to assist in covering the costs of the program. Most of these organizations have told us that they are now able to reallocate their animal care funds to cover the costs of surgeries and medicines, instead of food, which is increasing quality of care and the number of animals that receive a second chance. Several dozen organizations also pull items they are able to sell through fundraisers, which helps them raise additional funds to support their organizations.
All members in Rescue Relief are required to share intake and adoption numbers with us. In 2016 – our first year of executing this program – more 30,000 animals were impacted by Rescue Relief, and that number has been growing ever since.
In 2018, more than 480,000 pounds of food and supplies were rescued from the landfill and distributed to other rescues and shelters.
Want to help? You can purchase our most-needed supplies from our Amazon Wish List, or drop off donations at either location. Download our Wish List here!
Pop-Up Pantries:
On the first and third Saturday of each month, we open up our Rescue Relief warehouse to the public from 10am – 2pm for a Pop-Up Pantry so that everyone can enjoy access to low-cost supplies.

Sirius (1944) is another example of Stapledon's interest in superbeings and the various social and psychological issues connected with them. His novel Odd John explored this interest by looking at a super-intelligent human, a homo superior, an evolutionary leap in the development of mankind. In Sirius he does the same thing with what could be called canis superior (even though he doesn't use the term) — an advanced dog with human-level intelligence. In this case, as in that previous novel, Stapledon gives us a thorough and stirring look at a superbeing from both inside and out — from both the personal and the societal level.
A quick synopsis: an English physiologist does experiments with animals, trying to increase their intelligence. He has his best success with dogs, and manages to create many with higher-than-normal canine intelligence, although they are still basically "just" dogs. However, this scientist has one true breakthrough in the form of Sirius, who turns out to be the mental equal of his creator. Written before the discovery of DNA and even longer before the beginnings of genetic engineering, Stapledon's animal experiments are accomplished through various hormones and chemicals applied to the developing fetus, so it's not exactly a precise science. Never again is the scientist able to recreate the exact conditions that led to Sirius. He's one-of-a-kind, a species unto himself, all alone in a world that isn't ready for him.
Stapledon subtitled the novel A Fantasy of Love and Discord and that's a pretty accurate description, for there is plenty of both here. Sirius' creator doesn't want him known to the world just yet, so he takes him home and raises him in secret as a member of his own family, which includes his infant daughter Plaxy. Sirius and Plaxy grow up together as siblings, with such a deep bond between them that they think of themselves as one entity, Sirius-Plaxy. The love between these two, and the way their relationship changes as they grow older, is the most touching part of the story.
Sirius also has positive experiences with several other people, including a neighboring rancher who teaches him to be a sheep-dog. But he also quickly learns that not all humans are as good and caring as those he grew up with. Indeed, throughout the novel Sirius feels deeply conflicted about humanity and what to think of them. Often he gets very frustrated when considering the flaws of the "superior" species. For example:
Loyalty with dogs could be absolute and pure. With men it was always queered by their inveterate self-love. God! They must be insensitive really, drunk with self, and insensitive to all else. There was something reptilian about them, snakish.
Nevertheless, Sirius is connected to humanity in a love/hate relationship that he can't break. Other dogs are just dumb animals to him and he can't relate to them in any meaningful way. The only beings he can relate to on a mental level are the very humans he is so conflicted about, some of whom, once his existence is more widely known, consider him a creature of Satan and want him destroyed. But humanity is not his only source of conflict; he is also confused about his own nature. He struggles to reconcile the civilized part of himself with the instinctual canine part, and sadly comes to realize there is no place where he will ever fit in:
… but you can't make a world for me. Indeed, it's not possible for me to have a world at all, because my own nature doesn't make sense. The spirit in me needs the world of men, and the wolf in me needs the wild. I could only be at home in a sort of Alice-in-Wonderland world, where I could have my cake and eat it.
The tale ends in tragedy for Sirius, as it did for Odd John. Both are victims partly of their own nature, and partly of humanity's inability to accept anything which threatens its sense of superiority. This may seem a pessimistic outcome, but I believe it's also a very realistic one. Stapledon's superbeing novels tell us something about superbeings, but they also tell us quite a bit about ourselves.

Mumbai: Tata Capital Housing Finance is planning to grow its affordable housing loan portfolio to Rs 4,000 crore over the next three years from its present base of Rs 1,800 crore.
The Tata group unit expects its total loan portfolio to expand by 30 per cent annually to reach around Rs 10,000 crore this financial year.
"We have a plan to grow by 30 per cent annually. At present, our overall loan portfolio is at around Rs 7,500 crore and if everything goes well, this year we will be closing at around Rs 10,000 crore," the company's managing director, R Vaithianathan, told reporters here on Thursday.
Meanwhile, the company, which is a subsidiary of Tata Capital, has launched a home loan scheme in the affordable housing segment across small towns and semi-rural areas and for the urban poor.
Under the scheme, properties falling under the classification of rural housing according to National Housing Bank norms will be offered home loans of up to Rs 15 lakh at an interest rate of 9.75 per cent.
The company will also offer home loans up to Rs 10 lakh to urban low-income groups for properties covering low-income housing in urban areas. The scheme, which is valid till October 31, will offer a fixed interest rate of 9.75 per cent for seven years and floating interest rate thereafter.
The affordable housing segment is around 16 million units and is growing at 20-22 per cent per annum.

Ira is visiting Israel with the "Federation". He came up to me at the tefillin stand and said, "I know you won't remember me, but I want to thank you so much for your advice. A few months ago I was here and, as usual, I was feeling down. You showed me how 'Thanking G-d 100 times a day' picks you up and I'm happy now. I have been saying 'Thank G-d' many times a day since then, and it really works."
I explained to Ira that we feel like we think, so if we think about what is wrong in the world, and believe me there is plenty wrong out there to think about, then we are going to feel down. But if we think about what is right in the world, and there are plenty of right things going on, too, then we will feel happy with our lives.
All you got to do is to look and see how many things you can thank G-d for: Do you have a migraine headache? No. Thank G-d! Do you have an operation scheduled? No. Thank G-d! Did you eat today? Yes. Thank G-d! Do you have a court case against you coming up? No. Thank G-d. How about a place to sleep? Do you have one? Yes. Thank G-d! And on and on until you say, 'You know what, I really have a lot of things to thank G-d for,' and then you live a happy life.
Thank G-d!

Our client was shopping in a local supermarket when she suddenly slipped and fell due to a spillage of cream on the floor of one of the aisles.
As a result of the fall our client sustained injury, loss and damage.
Our Client's Injuries:
Soft tissue damage to her right knee.
How did Hayward Baker help?
One of our senior claims specialists Susan Burden took on the case on a no win no fee basis and the claim was made through the low value personal injury insurers portal.
Susan was pleased to report to our client that she had received a letter from the supermarkets insurers stating that having investigated her claim that liability was admitted for the accident and therefore have agreed to pay her compensation as long as we get a medical report that confirms our client's injuries.
On obtaining our client's medical records from her GP and the hospital she visited as a result of the accident Susan arranged a medical appointment with a General Practitioner.
This GP Consultant examined our client and wrote in his report that the injuries were caused as she had described. The medical expert had described the injury as a soft tissue injury to the right knee and recommended an opinion from an Orthopaedic Surgeon for further advice.
An appointment was made with the second expert and in his report he stated that the ongoing symptoms she has in her knee since the accident is more likely related to a previos knee replacement. However, the pain and suffering she had immediately post accident would have lasted for 3 months.
A third report was requested from a Psychologist regarding the depression she suffers post accident due to the pain. The consultant stated in his report that this was attributed to the injury caused by the accident.
Our client did not suffer any financial losses due to the accident.
Once our client had read and approved the medical reports and was happy for Susan to disclose them to the insurers the case was valued and negotiations upon settlement began.
Susan negotiated a settlement figure of £2,030.00 for our client's pain and suffering.

SLBP encodes a protein that binds to the stem-loop structure in replication-dependent histone mRNAs. De plus, nous expédions SLBP Anticorps (8) et SLBP Kits (3) et beaucoup plus de produits pour cette protéine.
Showing 5 out of 5 products:
Although the C-terminal tail of dSLBP does not contact the RNA, phosphorylation of the tail promotes SLBP conformations competent for RNA binding and thereby appears to reduce the entropic penalty for the association.
nuclear retention involves Chk2-mediated inactivation of the Drosophila stem loop binding protein (SLBP), the levels of which are specifically depleted in damaged nuclei following Chk2 phosphorylation, an event that contributes to nuclear fallout.
The nuclear magnetic resonance and kinetic studies presented here provide a framework for understanding how SLBP recognizes histone mRNA and highlight possible structural roles of phosphorylation and proline isomerization in RNA binding proteins
Slbp mutants display genomic instability, including loss of heterozygosity (LOH), increased presence of chromosome breaks, tetraploidy, and changes in position effect variegation (PEV).
Developmental control of histone mRNA and dSLBP synthesis during Drosophila embryogenesis and the role of dSLBP in histone mRNA 3' end processing in vivo.
Phosphorylation of T120 and T230 site of Stem-loop binding protein (SLBP) differentially affects the ability of the protein to restore viability and histone mRNA processing.
characterize the structural and dynamic features of the N-terminal domain of SLBP from Drosophila
electrostatic effect of protein phosphorylation can be partially mimicked by a mutant form of SLBP wherein four C-terminal serines are replaced with glutamic acids
Removal of the phosphoryl group from T230 by either dephosphorylation or mutation results in a 7-fold reduction in the affinity of SLBP for the stem-loop RNA
These results suggest that many of the cell and tissue specific phenotypes in ele mutant embryos are secondary to altered expression of modules of developmental regulatory genes that characterise, or promote transitions in, cell state and require the correct function of Slbp-dependent histone and chromatin regulatory genes.
Knocking down miR-384 promotes growth and metastasis of osteosarcoma MG63 cells by targeting SLBP
SLBP is a potentially important cellular regulator of HIV-1, thereby establishing a link between histone metabolism, inflammation, and HIV-1 infection
showed that inhibiting the SLBP mRNA and protein levels were rescued by epigenetic modifiers suggesting that nickel's effects on SLBP may be mediated via epigenetic mechanisms
Cyclin F-mediated degradation of SLBP limits H2A.X accumulation and apoptosis upon genotoxic stress in G2 cell cycle checkpoint.
CRL4(WDR23) is required for efficient histone mRNA 3' end processing to produce mature histone mRNAs for translation. CRL4(WDR23) binds and ubiquitylates SLBP in vitro and in vivo, and this modification activates SLBP function in histone mRNA 3' end processing without affecting its protein levels.
FEM1 proteins are ancient regulators of Stem-Loop Binding Protein.
CRL4-DCAF11 mediates the degradation of SLBP at the end of S phase and this degradation is essential for the viability of cells.
arsenic, a carcinogenic metal, decreases cellular levels of SLBP by inducing its proteasomal degradation and inhibiting SLBP transcription via epigenetic mechanisms
the S/G2 stable mutant form of SLBP is degraded by proteasome in G1, indicating that indicating that the SLBP degradation in G1 is independent of the previously identified SLBP degradation at S/G2
Alternative splicing allows the synthesis of HBP/SLBP isoforms with different properties that may be important for regulating HBP/SLBP functions during replication stress.
C-terminal extension of Lsm4 interacts directly with the histone mRNP, contacting both SLBP and 3'hExo.
This paper describes the biophysical characterization of human SLBP and the SLBP-SLIP1 complex. Human SLBP is an intrinsically disordered protein that is phosphorylated at 23 Ser/Thr sites when expressed in a eukaryotic expression system such as baculovirus. Unphosphorylated human SLBP forms a high affinity heterotetramer with SLIP1 and the SLBP-SLIP1 complex is regulated by SLBP phosphorylation.
Using yeast two-hybrid screening, the authors identify CT initiation factor-interacting protein (CTIF) as a protein that binds directly to SLBP. SLBP preferentially associates with the CT complex of histone mRNAs consisting of CBP80/CBP20, but not with the eIF4E/eIF4G (ET) complex, as has been proposed. Rapid degradation of histone mRNA on the inhibition of DNA replication requires association of SLBP with CTIF.
This paper shows that SLBP is a substrate for the prolyl isomerase Pin1. Pin1, along with PP2A, facilitates dissociation of the SLBP-histone mRNA complex at the end of S-phase, thereby promoting histone mRNA decay and SLBP ubiquitination.
the crystal structure of a ternary complex of human SLBP RNA binding domain, human 3'hExo, and a 26-nucleotide stem-loop RNA is reported.
haploinsufficiency of SLBP and/or WHSC2 (NELF-A) contributes to several novel cellular phenotypes of WHS.
SLBP is the only cell cycle-regulated factor required for histone pre-mRNA processing
SLBP overexpression caused by Fbxo30 depletion results in a remarkable overload of histone H3 on chromosomes that excessively condenses chromosomes and inhibits chromosome segregation. The finding uncovers an unidentified pathway-controlling chromosome segregation and cell progress.
During maturation, Slbp mRNA becomes polyadenylated and translationally activated. Proteasomal activity is required both to initiate and to sustain translational activation.
SLBP expression and activity differ in mouse oocytes and early embryos compared with somatic cells.
Inhibition of NF kappa B in TNF alpha-treated primary mouse hepatocytes is associated with increased S-phase cell cycle retention and decreased stem loop binding protein.
histone synthesis in immature and maturing oocytes is governed by a translational control mechanism that is directly regulated by changes in the amount of SLBP
SLBP is an essential component of the mechanism by which growing oocytes of the mouse accumulate the histones that support early embryonic development.
Maternally encoded Slbp is degraded in 2-cell mouse embryos by the co-ordinated activity of two separately regulated pathways.
SLBP is required for retinal stem cell maintenance. SLBP and Notch signaling are required for retinal progenitor cell proliferation and subsequent neurogenesis.
SLBP stimulates histone translation at an early step in the intiaition pathway.
This gene encodes a protein that binds to the stem-loop structure in replication-dependent histone mRNAs. Histone mRNAs do not contain introns or polyadenylation signals, and are processed by endonucleolytic cleavage. The stem-loop structure is essential for efficient processing but this structure also controls the transport, translation and stability of histone mRNAs. Expression of the protein is regulated during the cell cycle, increasing more than 10-fold during the latter part of G1.

"After their brillant debut album "Call of Avernus", Birmingham's quatuor ALUNAH are back with "White Hoarhound", a new album that has been more than consistently matured over the two past years... Something that was almost an obligation, considering that a 2nd album is always an important step in a band's course but also that this doom scene of female fronted bands is regularly offering new bands that can eventually quickly match the place of older ones, especially if they are lucky enough to be supported by a "major" label...
While the vintage production enhance even more than previously the heady grooviness, a quickly noticeable attention has been brought to the songwriting, one can definitely not reproach here a limited musicianship, some too predictable arrangments and a linearity that quickly bores... In her short note to present briefly the album in its early stages, for T.O.P. last winter, Soph insisted about the importance that Gaz (bass) took in this album composition, something which is indeed largely confirmed - particularly by some extended fuzziness, but in fact I think everyone personnaly improved his level of technicality and implication too, giving to the band an extremely cohesive sense that just a few ones can achieve.
Sure this basically vintage Sabbathian sound is prominent and does not intend to reinvent Doom but I dig how they bring it to extreme gloominess with tasty psychedelic hints or to some more luminous charming landscapes (better say semi-obscure !)... I love each second of this "White Hoarhound", of course there's the particularly memorable "Oak Ritual pt2", but my fave one is undoubtly "Belial's Fjord", just the name is awesome but the song is the perfect retranscription of ALUNAH's actual and certainly future sound, a fucking masterful and epic piece of Doom !!!
All this is leaded by Soph's vocals, mesmerising and melodic at the same time; delightful, maliciously and cleverly wellthought like if she always puted herself in the shoes of the most passionated and mature ALUNAH's fan to extract the best quintessence of each song; she's definitely a guru that wants your good for just a few bux !
With this sophomore album, ALUNAH do not simply proove that they now have their own personnal sound, they also proove that they can legitimately exist among other bands like Blood Ceremony or The Wounded Kings... No offense to the always excellent purveyor of classy Doomy sounds Psychedoomelic rds, but I honestly feel that ALUNAH would now deserve a more prestigious label to spread their awesome sound, so let's just hope that they won't wait too long anymore to get a wider exposure cause this album has the potencial to bring them in much higher spheres...
And now please, you dudes and dudette, you need to TOUR outside UK !!! Meanwhile lucky local Doomsters should not miss the album release party programmed next Friday"

|全球電動車、電池銷售額分析 (2015年)、市場預測 (2015-2020年) 2015 Global Electric Vehicles and Battery Sales Analysis and Market Forecast (2015-2020)
|出版日期: 2016年03月28日
|內容資訊: 英文 151 Pages
This report was written on the basis of the research material on monthly electric vehicle sales results in 52 countries in 2014 and 2015. Also, we researched specifications and capacities of secondary batteries applied to electric vehicles and analyzed the battery demand volume by type, form, vehicle type, company, and country.
In 2015 number of electric vehicles sold was approximately 2.2 million and grew 7.7% year on year. Sales of HEV decreased 4.1% from 1.73 million to 1.66 million year on year and sales of EV and PHEV grew more than 60%. It looks like the trend of HEV sales decrease will continue since sales decrease is standing out in Japan and the United States. In contrast, sales of PHEV are increasing rapidly in China and Europe. In Japan, all types of electric vehicles decreased in sales in 2015 compared to 2014.
Among the electric vehicle markets, the EV market is predicted to grow from 2012 and show exponential growth from 2019, exceeding the sales of HEV.
The PHEV market was understood as a market between HEV and EV, but the actual market is predicted to be move towards the EV market from a market of both EV and PHEV.
3.1.3 China
Among different types of electric vehicles HEV showed low number of sales in 2015, but sales of EV and PHEV increased 3 times and 5 times year on year respectively. (Subsidy policy of the Chinese government)
- Sales of EV, PHEV, and HEV in 2015 (2014 - EV ??,???, PHEV ??,???, HEV ?,???)
4.3 Secondary Battery Demand per Type
Most electric vehicles used prismatic type secondary batteries, but since they were mostly applied to HEV, battery demand is ?,???.?MWh (46.4%).
In 2015 prismatic type took up ?2.1% and polymer type took up ?1.5%.
4.4 Secondary Battery Demand per Battery Chemicals In terms of sales of vehicles lithium ion battery is 41.9% and nickel hydride battery is 52.0%, but in terms of battery demand lithium ion battery is 73.4%. This is because nickel hydride batteries are mainly used for low capacity hybrid vehicles.
4.8 Demand per Country
Japan had more demand than Korea and China, but it is decreasing from ??.7% in 2014 to ??.7%.
In contrary, demand in China is increasing from ?.7% in 2014 to ??.2% in 2015.

I'm not going to write a piece similar to that one Rosemarie Urquico wrote: "Date A Girl Who Reads", though I would love to have my own version but I guess she already nailed it, especially in the end when she said, "Or better yet, date a girl who writes. 🙂
I write. Well I'm not saying this so men (note: single men) should date me… okay, sure they can ask me out. LOL What am I saying?! I hope people wouldn't think of this as an advertisement of myself being single or worst a desperate act to tell the world that "Hey! I'm not married. " Nope. This is about writing. So let's go back to writing anyway. 😛
I write a lot. It started in my high school years, after I discovered that I could write poems that made me a finalist in an international poetry contest sponsored by an organization in the US, or slogans chosen for a government-initiated program. My interest was even fueled when I had Journalism as my elective class. My teacher who is a Journalist herself encouraged me to write more after she read my articles for her class. At first I wasn't sure about it – I was doubting my skills and thought that maybe it is better that I just take up any computer-related course in college instead of anything related to writing. But it was also around that period when I started to keep a journal. Not a Diary. A JOURNAL. (Yes there are differences between the two and that deserves another blog entry.)
I would write everything in my journal – my thoughts about my classes, movies, my favorite bands, my friends, my poems, favorite Bible verses or song verses, my crushes, scribbles, horrible drawings, everything! It was as if I found another best friend apart from the human friends I have – my Journal. I would pour out my thoughts and I would feel great every time I write them down. But it was also that journal that sent me to my own 'prison cell' when I left it in my room one day and my parents
invaded my privacy read what I wrote about puffing a cigarette and sipping beer for curiosity's and experience's sake! Man! My parents freaked out and suspected I was also doing drugs! Why are parents so exaggerated sometimes? LOL. So it resulted to me being grounded for about two months or more. Oh blame my Journal! (Oh well, maybe that story too deserves another post.)
From then on, I would never leave my journal at home. Nope! I don't want to be grounded anymore. 😛 Also because I need it when thoughts or ideas would pop up in my head. I will have to write it down instantly so I won't forget. So I made sure it is inside my bag wherever I go. 😀 I also learned from the song-writing workshop I attended before that when you're a writer or a composer, you have to keep a notebook with you all the time, because you do not know when a good song/poetry/story will come up.
Journaling also helped me survive the four-year Journalism course I decided to take up in college. My journals then would not only contain stories about crushes, or favorite lines from the book or lyrical prose, but also writings about socio-political issues. You can say, the journal content has matured in time. (*Opps, matured content meaning relevant and serious topics on life and politics but not the "For Adults" only okay? LOL)
And now, despite having this blog (I started blogging in 2003 under a different name. Read: About Me) I still keep a journal. Every year I would buy cute notebooks or (since 2004) collect Starbuck's planners and use it as my journal. Also I still have pens, pencils, eraser and a pencil case that you can find inside my bag. Yes, despite the high-tech computers, ipads and iphones or other convenient gadgets where you can compose electronic messages or post on blogs, I still keep a journal and write using my favorite pen.
My older sister and I share the same interests in any writing material. When we see cute notebooks, we would buy them, even if that means it will be kept in the drawers, unused. It's only because I love to look at any cute writing material. 🙂 We call ourselves "Notebook Suckers" actually.
And during my trip to KL late last year, I found this store TYPO that sells awesome journals, notebooks, pens, etc… and I instantly fell in love with that shop! Oh how I wish we have TYPO in Manila! I found a journal in their store with a design that says "This Is My Blog" – I would have bought it if not for the obvious damage on the cover. It was the last piece. When I got back to Manila, I checked their website and saw a perfect one that I like – A red journal with an engraved Eiffel Tower design at the front. Luckily, one of my church friends went to KL for work-related tour so I asked her to buy it for me and here it is:
It is so lovely. But for some reasons, I don't want to use it. LOL Or not yet. I just want to look at it and smell it. I just love the smell of the paper. Well I already have a journal from Starbucks that I use this year that's why. And I only keep one Journal a year and write almost everything there, though you'd find a lot of small pieces of paper or post it notes with my writings, either in the book I'm reading or inside the journal itself. Like my 2011 journal below:
And here's my 2012 Starbucks Journal:
I guess I'm still conventional in some ways – like keeping a Journal. Sure I appreciate the innovation and the advance technology we have in this era but I guess there's still nothing like writing in a paper or journal or notebook. Oh give me a cute notebook/notepad/journal or even post it notes or pens, and you'd surely hear my sincere appreciation. I just love them.
So why is this post's title then about Dating A Girl Who Writes (In a Journal)? Because I couldn't think of a better title I guess. LOL. 😀 But on a side note, I think a Girl or Woman who writes (whether in a journal or not) is someone who thinks deeply, who probably looks quiet or sometimes naive but is overflowing with intelligence and sound advices, who appreciates life and takes joy even from the simplest things around her, who is in touch with her emotions thus capable of understanding other's emotions too, and someone who sees the beauty out of the ordinary.
So, a girl or woman who writes is someone not just worth dating but also worth marrying! 🙂

Gilliland: Rare Summit County orchid a victim of clearcutting
A delicate and exquisite wild orchid has fallen victim to successive tree cutting in the beautiful Ten Mile Range. The fairy slipper orchid, a shy and rarely-seen resident of the pine forest floor, has succumbed to the ravages of trucks and tree cutting equipment on Gold Hill.
In decades of hiking for my books, "The Summit Hiker" and "The Vail Hiker," I have spotted the vivid pink orchid with its spotted slipper, only a few times. Gold Hill locals, however, knew of a patch of "orchid heaven," a football field-sized area spreading across both private land and forest service land, where the rarely-viewed flower bloomed every June in a riot of color.
Sadly, the orchid is gone. Gold Hill has been devastated by clear-cuts several times, including this year, and the orchid field went away during one of these.
Clear-cutting slashes live trees, dead trees and native bushes, while its equipment crushes sometimes-lovely vegetation on the forest floor. Since the pine beetle epidemic failed to take the expected toll along trails between Frisco and Breckenridge, the ongoing clear cuts there are seen by many as unnecessary.
If you care about the Gold Hill and Peaks trails, as well as the future of our forests, please attend the Forest Health Task Force meeting May 29 at the community center in Frisco at 110 Third Avenue from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. to voice your opinion. Also, you can contact your county commissioners to ask them to take a stand on forest clear-cutting.

By The Associated Press
GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) - Federal judges who struck down North Carolina legislative districts for illegal racial bias now are listening to attorneys before ruling whether new boundaries approved by Republicans over the summer fixed or retained the problem.
A three-judge panel scheduled a hearing Thursday with lawyers for legislative leaders and voters as it decides if the General Assembly's redistricting of House and Senate seats must be performed again, perhaps by an outside expert. The judges also could sign off on the boundaries for the 2018 elections.
The judges had ordered the GOP-dominated legislature to approve new maps by Sept. 1, in keeping with their decision last year that 28 House and Senate districts drawn in 2011 were unlawful racial gerrymanders. Nearly all of the districts challenged by North Carolina voters in a lawsuit had majority-black voting age populations.
The previous maps were first used in the 2012 elections, helping the GOP expand and retain veto-proof majorities in the two chambers, which in turn implemented a conservative agenda on taxes, education and social issues.
The judges - U.S. Circuit Judge Jim Wynn and District Judges Catherine Eagles and Thomas Schroeder - said Republican mapmakers had failed to justify using race as the predominant factor in drawing the 2011 boundaries. Critics of the maps say they packed black voters in certain districts so that surrounding districts would be more white and Republican.
This time, Republicans specifically left out the use of racial data for the latest redistricting approved by lawmakers. Their attorneys argued in a brief last month doing so cures any problems with the previous lines.
But the voters' attorneys still found fault with 12 House and Senate districts that they want redrawn. Four still have problems with racial bias, they wrote, while eight others violate the North Carolina Constitution's prohibition against mid-decade redistricting and a rule designed to minimize district boundaries crossing county lines.
A lawyer for the Republicans said in a brief last month that the voters' arguments are meritless and the judges should only address deficiencies related to race from the 2011 plans.
The "plaintiffs advance numerous attacks on the 2017 districts that are based purely on state law," attorney Phil Strach wrote for the legislative leaders. "This court does not have jurisdiction to consider these claims."
In a court filing earlier this week, Anita Earls and Eddie Speas - lawyers for the voters - disagreed, saying the GOP's argument "turns redistricting law on its head."
The state NAACP is not a plaintiff in the case, but in a separate brief asked the judges that a special master redraw the maps because Republicans ignored the judges' advice that there was a proper way to consider races. Instead, they avoided race all together.
"The court provided the General Assembly an opportunity to remedy its racially-gerrymandered maps, and the General Assembly squandered it," the NAACP lawyers wrote.

TIPS from our Dietician on how to curb your appetite:
* The best way to control your appetite is to make sure you eat every 3-4 hours. This will ensure that your body constantly has a supply of energy and therefore you won't ever feel too hungry.
* Remember too though that appetite could be there due to emotional reasons. It's the 'I just want to eat' feeling. Make sure that you fill this hole with events rather than food!!
* Make sure you get enough fibre in your diet as well as drink enough water.
* Feeling hungry all the time (and especially on colder days)? Try a cup of tea instead of that cracker or chocolate.
It is not recommended that pregnant women take any form of herbal/natural product. Breastfeeding women should consult their health professional. Not to be used while recovering from gastro-intestinal surgery. To be avoided by people with peptic ulcer disease.

Let's celebrate afternoon tea week, who can resist those little finger sandwiches, scones and fancy cakes, it's like reliving a dolls tea party. That quintessential British meal that sadly is disappearing from our daily lives. With the advent of full time work for women the ritual that is afternoon tea became lost, hardly surprising, who of us has time to work and cook for a tea break?
As lifestyles and hours of working changed over time so have mealtimes , following working patterns and changes in social status. The following is from "A Short History of [British] Mealtimes"
Breakfast 10AM; Dinner 3-5PM, Tea 7PM, Supper 10-11PM
Breakfast 10AM (leisurely), 9AM (less leisurely), 8AM (working people); Luncheon Midday; Dinner 3-5PM; Supper 10-11PM
Breakfast, before 9AM; Luncheon (ladies only) Midday; Dinner 6-8PM; Supper depending upon the timing and substantiality of dinner
1860s/Middle Class
Breakfast 8AM (town), 9-10AM (country); Lunchoen 1-2PM; Dinner 6-8PM (depending upon formality and place)
Early morning 8AM (tea, bread and butter); Breakfast 8-8:30AM; Luncheon Midday; Afternoon tea 5PM, Dinner 7:30-8PM
Breakfast 8AM; Lunch/upper classes or Dinner/rest Midday-1PM; Afternoon tea 4PM; High tea 5-6PM; Dinner 7-8PM; Supper 9-10PM.
"Mealtimes…These vary somewhat depending on the region of the country you are visiting, but in general breakfast is served between 7:30 and 9, and lunch between 12 and 2. Tea–an essential and respected part of British tradition, and often a meal in itself–is generally served between 4:30 and 5:30. Dinner or supper is served between 7:30 and 9:30, sometimes earlier."—Fodor's Great Britain [1992] (p. 34)
As you can see, tea the kind of fancy-schmancy affair emerged as a social event sometime around the 1830s or 1840s, Bruce Richardson writes in A Social History of Tea. And Anna Maria Russell, Duchess of Bedford, led the pack. When there is nothing else to do but enjoy a little 'something' with friends, why not?
Nowadays we only celebrate high tea on high days and holidays usually eaten out rather than at home despite the popularity of TV programmes such as The Great British Bake Off which celebrate baking in all its forms.
But it is a lovely way to indulge yourself, so this week find somewhere locally that does provide 'high tea' and give yourself a treat. Or make something you usually don't make time for – a few scones or how about a little Victoria sponge? or at least a biscuit and a cup of tea.
These great biscuits are easy to make and are just right for children to decorate.
Tunbridge Water Cakes (William Sayer)*
I have seen references to these biscuits called Tunbridge Wafers or Romary biscuits after the baker Alfred Romary who had a bakery in Tunbridge, opened in 1862. Romary later received Royal warrants for his wafers. Recipes seem to vary of course, some of them more savoury, and this writer has added orange flower water.
250g butter
250g icing sugar
500g flour
3 egg yolks
1 tablespoon orange flower water
Preheat the oven to 180oc/350of/gas 4
Rub the butter in with the flour; add the sugar and make the whole into a paste. Don't work too much as this will make the biscuits hard. Roll it out very thin on a floured table and cut it out with a plain round or scalloped cutter about 3in across. Place them on a greased baking tray and bake them to a pale delicate colour.
They take about 15 – 20 minutes depending on your oven.
These make lovely biscuits for children to decorate and makes about 50 biscuits.

These 5-ingredient cranberry chocolate walnut energy balls make the perfect pick-me-up!
I've been in a serious cranberry mood recently. Fresh cranberries, dried cranberries, I'm all over it. Something about that tartness and sweetness together. Mmm. Bring on the cranberries.
And I will be bringing you the cranberries, too. After today's recipe, I've got two more coming your way this month (and possibly a third; I'm still perfecting it!) Cranberry craziness here!
These little energy balls are packed with nutritious goodies and offer a serious snack solution. Long days of shopping? Road trip a yawn? Pop one of these babies in your mouth and you'll be set to go. They are dense and oh so filling. They satisfy a sweet tooth, too, which is always a bonus in my book.
Plus, it's just 5 ingredients: walnuts, dates, dried cranberries, cocoa powder and peanut butter (you can sub almond butter if you'd prefer). But I highly recommend adding the optional 6th ingredient: mini chocolate chips. Stir these into the batter before you roll up your balls and you will be ready to face the world. They add just an extra punch of sweetness and a doubling down on the chocolate. Also always a bonus in my book!
I hope your holidays are nothing but merry and bright. But if you're dragging ass by the middle of the month, these are your go-to pick-me-ups. And they're also great for bake sales, cookie exchanges, teacher or neighbor gifts… you name it. Everyone will love them!
Cranberry chocolate walnut energy balls
These easy, 5-ingredient energy balls make the perfect pick-me-up snack!
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 1 cup dates, pitted and chopped small
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (or sub almond butter)
- 3 tablespoons mini chocolate chips (optional)
- Add the walnuts to a food processor and pulse until they are mostly ground up. Transfer the crushed walnuts to a medium bowl.
- Next, add the dates and cranberries to the food processor. Pulse until they are more finely chopped. You may need to stop several times and scrape them from the sides (they are sticky) and continue to pulse on and off until they are more finely chopped. Some medium-sized chunks are OK.
- Next, add the cocoa powder, peanut butter and crashed walnuts to the dates and cranberries in the food processor. Pulse and mix until well combined, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl (I use the same one the walnuts had been in) and stir to make sure everything is well combined. The mixture will be thick.
- Add mini chocolate chips, if using, and stir very well to incorporate evenly.
- Roll the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball. Place on a wax paper-lined plate (for easy clean-up) and place in the freezer for about 15 minutes to help them firm up.
- Remove from the freezer and eat or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Recent reviews
Good 7.6 From 1,473 reviews
The location of this hotel was fantastic. A12 bus from the airport drops you literally across the road and the A11 back is 100m away. The metro is a couple of doors down and a short walk to the tram and ferry. There's a shopping centre, supermarkets and restaurants all in a block if you don't feel like venturing far away. The room is small but it's got a fridge, is clean and ok for a couple of nights.
Twin share rooms are just tiny!
Great location to be based at for your stay at Hong Kong. 5 minute walk to Bus Interchange, Ferry Wharf, Tram Stop / Terminus
Great place to stay if you just want a base to travel around Hong Kong. It is right on the MTR line, about 15 minutes to Central/Hong Kong, and 8 minutes to Causeway Bay, and great shopping. I stayed in Kowloon in 2014, and got frustrated with people constantly trying to sell me stuff on the street corner for kms up and down Nathan road. None of that here, mainly locals going about daily routines. The Hotel itself is nothing flash, which was ok, as I knew what I was getting. I was up at 6am and back at midnight for my 10 days, so all I needed was a bed, so for the price, it was fantastic, and did what it needed to do. The breakfast was really good as well, a buffet with variances each day with your usual basics. All in all, if you just want a base to come back to each day, and not fussed with all the "Bells and whistles" you might get in Kowloon, than this will do the trick. I also have to say, I much preferred this Hong Kong side rather than Kowloon side. The MTR is amazing, and will get you anywhere you need to go in no time, so don't let distance be are barrier for good, comfortable, clean accomodation without all the bells and whistles.
Comfortable and very convenient to travel to different areas. Quiet and staff are very helpful. If there are ports for recharging the phone like other newer hotels will be good.

Steph couldn't take her eyes of the toast section and eventually picked the crab toast. A hearty portion of delicious fresh crab served on top a chunky slice of toast was soon presented to us and was just as quickly devoured!
As we were having small dishes (and I thought I needed some fries with my steak tartare) we indulged in some seriously delicious fries.
Hot, crisp and fluffy – what more could you want for a mid-week pick me up?
And wonderful loose leaf earl grey tea for Steph. We were both really pleased to know that Hubbard and Bell serve loose leaf teas as we agreed that the taste is so much better. Always great to know that there's a great tea spot round the corner that doubles as a perfect escape.
After finishing every last ounce of caffine we decided it was back to work and adulthood. Next time I've got my eye on the Sunday Feast… And maybe an overnight staycation, too!
Till next time, Hoxton..!

If you are interested in selling, we are interested in buying. We sell direct to collectors which is why, in the main, we can usually offer to pay more than other dealers.
And, because we handle stamps from literally every country in the world and we sell in a number of different ways (Postal Auctions, Approvals, World Mixtures and eBay), we don't 'cherry pick' what we wish to buy.
If you are a serious collector and you are looking to sell either all or part of your collection, please contact us now with details of your collection - catalogue value, details of rarer material, certificates (where relevant), varieties etc...
If you have inherited a collection or discovered an old childhood collection and would like to find out a bit more about it, please send us some photos/scans/photocopies of a representative selection of album pages (maximum 20 images) - this will allow us to establish the type of collection you have and identify any potential value. For details of how to send pictures and what to take pictures of - click here.
Please note - our free screening service is currently suspended whilst we redevelop our website. We anticipate this service resuming in a few months' time.
If want to know more about any of the following items, just click the relevant link below...
Our Free 'Stamp Screening' Service
Our valuation service is free of charge and there is no obligation to accept any offer we make
British Post Office / Royal Mail First Day Covers
Although classic stamps have done well in the recession, modern (1960s onwards) First Day Covers have not. Typically you can find collections and/or individual covers offered on eBay selling for as little as 1p each if prices are unreserved but often not selling at all if reserve prices have been set.
We do offer to buy collections of First Day Covers but only if you have sufficient quantity. If you have 400+ First Day Covers and you are in the UK, we can arrange to have your collection picked up - free of charge - from your home or office by courier. Please contact us for details.
Some sets/presentation packs sell for more but the problem is that the majority hardly sell at all at good prices because there are so many on the market. Fortunately with these packs the MINT stamps are still valid for postage.
We currently pay up to 50% of the face value of the prices printed on the stamps - as long as the total face value of your stamps exceeds £100.
If you are in the UK, we can arrange to have your collection picked up - free of charge - from your home or office by courier. Please contact us for details.
When totaling your face value please use the current prices for any stamps marked 1st, 2nd or E – namely 70p, 61p and 135p respectively.
Free 'Stamp Screening' Service
Please note - our free screening service is currently suspended whilst we redevelop our website. We anticipate this service resuming in a few months' time.
"A picture paints a thousand words" - so why not send us a few images of your stamps and we'll give you some feedback. It won't cost you anything and you can become informed without losing sight of your stamps. Here's what you need to do....
If the stamps are in an album, photo a few of the more complete pages, i.e. the pages with the most stamps on them.
If the stamps are loose, take a batch of approx 20-30, lay them on a flat surface and take a photo/scan - you can do this with a few batches.
Don't worry too much about which countries to photo - GB, China, India and Russia are popular at the moment but at this stage of the process we're just trying to establish the calibre of the collection. If every stamp we see is a common stamp, it's highly likely the rest of the collection will follow suit and there will be little chance of value. Similarly, if we see mainly common stamps but also a few more interesting items, there is a greater chance of other more potentially valuable items in the collection.
JPG / JPEG files are ideal - but don't send very high resolution images. A jpeg image of an album page shouldn't need to exceed 300KB. If your files are more than 1MB in size, they're too big! Try re-scanning or taking photos at a lower resolution. (Please don't send us emails that exceed 10MB in total).
QUANTITY - please limit the number of JPG files you send to a maximum of 20. We may ask you to send more once we have examined your initial batch, but a maximum of 20 images is more than enough as a starting point.
BUT - please, please, please - don't send lots of photos of individual stamps - our service is free but we cannot open hundreds of scans which just have one stamp in each image.
We always, always reply to e-mails and scans sent – we try and reply to all enquiries within 24 hours (or possibly 48 hours over weekends and bank holidays) - if you don't receive a reply at all, we probably haven't received your e-mail – or maybe our reply has gone into a 'Spam' folder.
Email your images to email@example.com
(This is the easiest and quickest way for us to process your images as you can attach a dozen or more in one email)
or click here to use our upload facility...
If you don't have the facility to email photos/scans, just send us some colour photocopies - same rules apply as above!
