Ma Po Tofu with Steamed Broccoli
Happy Wednesday to you, I hope it has been a good day for you or at least you managed to make it through. Well, I can't complain too much as I did not work today and instead went to the beach as can be seen from exhibit A. down below.
And it was so nice…something about being completely submerged in water, just floating on my back looking up into the never-ending deep blue sky above, you just feel so free. I don't know if maybe because we are born in water in the womb, but I feel like a kid, like the aging process goes in reverse when I swim in a calm warm sea. Until my stomach starts waking me out my youthful slumber, "hey you, what in the heck are you going to make for dinner?"
Once I made it home, I found some tofu, good, after a day of recreation and relaxing, I wanted to keep it healthy and lite. Tofu is good, but what else, oh, I have a bit of ground beef and some broccoli. And of course, as you were about to beat me in saying it, how about Ma Po Tofu!
Ma Po Tofu is a popular Chinese dish from Sichuan province. It consists of tofu set in a spicy, sweet, pungent sauce along with minced meat, usually pork or beef. The name Ma Po Tofu is roughly translated as "pockmarked grandmother beancurd," named for the old woman who supposedly invented the dish.
Whats great about it? Well how about everything, it's healthy, tasty, in-expensive and its so easy and so quick, it's EJlicious, but you knew that. Give it a try. Have a great new day and thanks for reading!
- 1 (14-ounce) package firm water-packed tofu, drained
- 1 to 2 tablespoons Sriracha (hot chile sauce, such a Huy Fong)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons mirin (sweet rice wine)
- 1 tablespoon black bean garlic sauce
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons less-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon chili oil
How to Make It
Step 1
Place tofu on paper towels; cover with paper towels. Top with a heavy skillet; let stand 30 minutes. Discard towels. Cut tofu into 1-inch cubes.
Step 2

Smelling Feet or Smelly Feet?
Dorothy Hinshaw Patent
Nature's Animal Ambassador
Do your feet sometimes smell rotten? Do you wish you could toss out your shoes and start with a new pair? We make jokes about smelly feet, but smell and feet have a very different relationship among some insects.
Take butterflies. Have you ever watched a butterfly flit over a plant, gently touch its feet to a leaf, and then fly on to the next leaf? That butterfly isn't being picky about where to land. It's hunting for the right kind of leaf for laying its eggs. It's "smelling" the leaf with its feet!
Actually, we need to qualify that statement a bit. Some writers will say the insect is "smelling" the leaf while others may write that it's "tasting" the leaf. Smelling and tasting are forms of "chemoreception," or sensing of chemicals. Smell usually refers to sensing from a distance while tasting generally means actually touching the nerve cells that sense a chemical.
We humans have cells in our noses that send messages to our brains about chemicals in the air. We call that our sense of smell. We have cells on our tongues that sense chemicals dissolved in liquid in our mouths. That's taste.
That butterfly doesn't have a nose, and its mouth is a long tube for sucking up nectar from flowers. Its chemoreceptors are elsewhere, like on its feet, around its mouth, and on its antennae. Most butterflies lay their eggs on the plants that the hatched caterpillars will eat. Some species are very specific about what plants their young can feed on. Take the postman butterfly, which lives in Central and South America. Its caterpillars can only survive on certain species of passionflower vines. Other species are poisonous to their offspring.
The female postman butterfly has dozens of special nerve cells on her feet called "gustatory sensilla." Scientists think that when she touches gently down on a leaf, these cells can sense chemicals there that would be poisonous to her caterpillars. She avoids laying eggs on those leaves. But when she finds a plant that will nourish her young, she'll alight and lay her eggs.
Now take your shoes off and move your feet around on the floor. The only nerve endings on your feet are ones that sense touch. But then, you don't need to be able to smell the ground you walk on. Imagine how gross it would be if your feet could smell the insides of your socks and shoes—yuck!
A dog's nose is 300 times more powerful than a human nose, so it's no wonder that dogs use their incredibly advanced sense of smell to do some very important jobs. In Super Sniffers, Dorothy Hinshaw Patent explores the various ways specific dogs have put their super sniffing ability to use: from bedbug sniffers to explosive detectors to life-saving allergy detectors . . . and more. This dynamic photo-essay includes first-hand accounts from the people who work closely with these amazing dogs. For more information, click here.

Morty Makes a Stink
Peggy Thomas
Curiosity Queen: writing science, history, and everything in between
Regular visiting hours are over at the Buffalo Botanical Gardens, but the line to see Morty reaches out the door. It's an event that comes once in a decade, so I'm happy to wait for my chance to see, and smell, what's inside.
A year ago the Botanical Gardens acquired corms or bulbs of a tropical plant called the corpse flower. These aren't little tulip bulbs you hold in your hand. The corpse flower corm weighs 120 pounds and looks like a giant potato. A corm that big needs a lot of energy to grow, so, it spends several months dormant underground. When the first hint of green peeks through the soil, it's a guessing game as to what it will look like. Most of the time, the corpse flower will send up a slender shoot and one complex leaf that looks like a tree canopy. Through photosynthesis, this leaf will provide energy that will be stored in the corm. When there is enough energy stored up, Morty will flower. And that's what I'm excited to witness.
Weaving my way through displays of cactus, palms, and banana trees, I wonder if someone forgot to take the trash out. The odor of rotting meat wrinkles my nose, and I realize why Morty is called a corpse flower. As we move closer, the air grows thicker. This plant has been dumpster diving.
The stink Morty sends forth is the plant's way to attract pollinators in its native jungle of Sumatra. The flower only lasts a day or two, so the scent has to be pungent enough to quickly draw in dung beetles and carrion flies that will collect the pollen and distribute it to other plants before it wilts. It's curiosity that lures me in.
I round the corner and catch my first glimpse of the stinker. Since it poked out of the ground it has grown five to six inches every day, and now Morty's seven-foot spire, called a spadix, towers over me. I have to step back to catch the entire plant in my camera lens. Like a wicked witch's collar, Morty wears a single pleated, blood red flower petal wrapped around the spadix. By midnight the flower will be fully opened and have reached maximum reek.
I click more pictures and take a deep breath. It will be a long time before Morty blooms again, and I want to remember every smelly detail.
Peggy Thomas certainly is a Curiosity Queen. You'll recall that her last Nonfiction Minute showed her taking an elephant's temperature -- not an easy task. Her book Anatomy of Nonfiction shows other authors how to write about real events.

Writing a recipe is harder than it looks. I found this out when a children's magazine editor asked me to add a recipe to my article about eating insects.
First, I thumbed through my recipe file mentally substituting bugs for a vital ingredient. Mushrooms stuffed with millipedes was out. (Most kids don't like mushrooms.) I nixed beetle sausage, also. (Too much chopping and frying in a hot skillet.) Flipping to desserts, I chose toffee. I could substitute bugs for nuts.
After my trip to the grocery store for butter, sugar and chocolate chips, I visited the pet shop, and asked for a cup of mealworms, which are fly larvae (also known as maggots, but that's not very appetizing). The man handed me a little carton that looked like a Skippy cup of ice cream. I wrote that down because I would need to pass that information on to readers who, like me, had no clue how to purchase creepy-crawlies.
With all the ingredients on the counter I recorded each step:
After that, I was on familiar ground blending butter and sugar, and sprinkling chocolate chips.
I called my concoction Toffee Surprise, and taste-tested it in a large group setting where peer pressure encouraged full participation -- my mother's birthday party! The verdict: The toffee was yummy, crunchy, and sweet with a subtle earthy aftertaste.
Although I don't plan on cooking more edible vermin, I did learn some important rules for writing a recipe: Choose a food that is reader-friendly; be aware of your readers' abilities and safety issues; record every step in order; pay attention to even the smallest details; and prepare it yourself so you can work out the bugs (no pun intended).

Bites of Passage
Sarah Albee
Celebrating the History of Science and the
Science behind History
The insect pictured is called Paraponera clavata, commonly known as a bullet ant. It can grow to be about an inch long.
They're among the world's most venomous insects, and are supposed to deliver the most painful sting of any insect, according to J.O. Schmidt. He's an entomologist who's been stung by pretty much every hymenopteran possible and who developed a pain scale rating that lists the relative pain caused by insects. His ratings go from 0, where the sting is as mild as the little zap you might feel while walking across a carpet in your socks, up to 4, where you might as well just lie down and scream. Bullet ants get a 4+. When he later revised his index, he described bullet ant stings as "pure, intense, brilliant pain, like walking over flaming charcoal with a three-inch nail in your heel."
But wait, it gets worse.
The ants have abdominal stridulatory organs—that means they can shriek at you when threatened, which alerts the rest of the group to come boiling up out of the nest to help impale you.
There's a tribe of people in Brazil, deep in the Amazon forest, the Sateré-Mawé, who use bullet ants as an initiation rite to manhood. Boys have to slip on gloves that resemble oven mitts. Live bullet ants are woven into these gloves, with the stingers pointing toward the wearer's hands. The boys have to keep the gloves on for ten minutes. Evidently paralysis of the arms sets in rather quickly, so it's after the gloves come off that the real pain and convulsions begin—and they last at least 24 hours.
Did I mention these ants also shriek?
Did you know that bugs played a role in history? Sarah's book Bugged: How Insects Changed History tells the story.

Here Come the Cicadas
Laurence Pringle
celebrating nature, inspiring good writing
Almost every spring an amazing event in nature happens in parts of the United States. Huge numbers of insects called periodical cicadas emerge from the soil. For a few weeks they fill the days with loud buzzing calls.
Every summer you can hear the calls of some kinds of cicadas, but periodical cicadas are different. They exist only in the eastern two-thirds of the United States, and have the longest of all insect lives. Some periodical cicadas live 13 years, others 17 years, with nearly all of that time spent underground. Young cicadas, called nymphs, sip water and nutrients from tree roots. The nymphs count the years, probably by sensing changes in tree sap, as it is affected by the seasons of each year.
When their countdown ends and soil warms in the spring, millions of cicada nymphs dig out. They climb posts, bushes, and trees, and cling there. Their nymph "skins" split open and adult cicadas wriggle free. Finally, after many years underground, they are out in the sunshine. They can fly, and the buzzing noises of males attract females. It is a noisy and hectic time in their lives. They have just a few weeks to mate and produce the next generation. Once females lay eggs in tree twigs, all of the adults die. Soon after, tiny nymphs hatch from the eggs. They drop to the soil, borrow in, and begin to sip juices from tree roots. The nymphs grow slowly, counting the years until they will have their own time in the sun.
Nearly every year, one or more populations, called broods, of periodical cicadas emerge. Seventeen year cicadas live mostly in the Northeast and Upper Midwest. Thirteen year cicadas are most common in the South and Lower Midwest. Some broods emerge in parts of just a few states. Some years, a more widespread brood emerges in parts of fifteen states. Notice that I say "parts" of states. These cicadas don't roam around. The nymphs go underground in the same places where their parents emerged. You will find them in one town but not another, in one neighborhood but not another.
Some people call cicadas "locusts," but locusts are a kind of grasshopper that eats plants. Cicadas do not chew on plants. They are harmless, fascinating creatures. And, once in a great while, they give us a rare and awe-inspiring animal spectacle.
Visit the great website, Cicadamania, which has high praise for this book: "Definitely the best cicada book for kids. Adults will appreciate it as well, as it is well written, factually accurate, and beautifully illustrated."
You can read more about Larry's fascination for these creatures on his website.

text: Social Anxiety Disorder Coping Print How to Handle Performance Anxiety as an Athlete By Arlin Cuncic Arlin Cuncic, MA, is the author of "Therapy in Focus: What to Expect from CBT for Social Anxiety Disorder" and "7 Weeks to Reduce Anxiety." Learn about our editorial policy Arlin Cuncic Updated on September 28, 2019 Social Anxiety Disorder Overview Symptoms & Diagnosis Causes Treatment Living With In Children F64/Digital Vision/Getty Images In This Article Table of Contents Expand Sports Psychology Athletic Performance Anxiety Triggers Thrive Under Pressure Manage Anxiety View All Performance anxiety symptoms are often present in athletes. While some people become "pumped up" during the competition, if you interpret the rush of adrenaline as anxiety and negative thoughts take over, this can interfere with your ability to perform. Before you learn how to manage the symptoms of anxiety during competitions, it is critical to understand the relationship between anxiety and athletic performance. Performance Anxiety and Sports Psychology People with social anxiety disorder (SAD) fear social and performance situations. The most common fear is public speaking. However, other types of performances such as musical and athletic may also lead to anxiety. Sport psychology is a division of psychology aimed at better preparing the mind of an athlete for competition. Most sport psychologists work with athletes to help them overcome anxiety about performance during competitions. In its most extreme form, this type of anxiety would be diagnosed as SAD. Performance Anxiety and Athletic Performance Anxiety before or during athletic competitions can interfere with your performance as an athlete. The coordinated movement required by athletic events becomes increasingly difficult when your body is in a tense state. While a certain level of physical arousal is helpful and prepares us for competition, when the physical symptoms of anxiety are too great, they may seriously interfere with your ability to compete. A certain amount of worry about how you perform can be helpful in competition. At the same time, negative thought patterns and expectations of failure can bring about a self-fulfilling prophecy. If there is a large difference between how you fare during practice and how you do during competitions, anxiety may be affecting your performance. Sports Performance Anxiety Triggers Some types of athletes are more prone to feeling the effects of anxiety on performance. As an amateur athlete, you are more likely than seasoned professionals to experience anxiety that interferes with your ability to perform in competition. This makes sense due to your relative lack of experience both in competition and in managing feelings of being "pumped up." If you are an athlete who participates in individual sports, you are also more likely to experience anxiety than those who play team sports. It makes sense that being part of a team helps to manage some of the pressure that you feel when you compete alone. Finally, there is evidence that in team sports, if your team plays at the venue of the opposition (known as an "away" game), anxiety levels tend to be higher than when your team is playing at home. Again, it makes sense that having greater fan support and being more familiar with the location helps to reduce anxiety. How Some Athletes Thrive Under Pressure How are elite athletes consistently able to rise to the challenge when faced with the tough competition? Research shows that self-confidence plays a role in how you respond to symptoms of anxiety during athletic performance. If you are confident in your ability, you are more likely to have a positive reaction to being "pumped up" and will thrive on the challenge of competition. Elite athletes are often so focused on their behavior that they interpret arousal as excitement rather than anxiety. In general, self-confidence tends to be highest when you believe in your ability and feel that you have properly prepared for a competition. Worry and confidence are at opposite ends of the spectrum; when confidence is strong, it tends to crowd worry out of the mind. How to Manage Performance Anxiety Symptoms Based on what's been discussed, there are a number of strategies you can employ to reduce performance anxiety symptoms, such as the following: Reduce negative thought patterns that contribute to anxiety through cognitive restructuring (self-help books on cognitive-behavioral therapy will help with this)Learn how to interpret arousal during the competition as positive or acceptable rather than negative (self-help books on acceptance and commitment therapy will help with this)Ensure that you have practiced enough so that you are confident during competitionGenerate that "team spirit" even for individual sports by making friends with other competitorsFor "away" games, ask friends or family to be there to root you on You can also use a number of strategies to help manage anxiety and induce relaxation related to athletic performance including visualization and progressive muscle relaxation. How to Cope With Anxiety About a Sports Competition A Word From Verywell If you find that your anxiety symptoms are severe and do not improve with the use of self-help strategies, plan a visit to your doctor to discuss your concerns. You may be suffering from SAD and need professional treatment. The 7 Best Online Anxiety Support Groups Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback!

Screw it, bring up Starling. What's the worst that could happen? KC loses a bunch of games in a row?Hamilton injured in an attempt at a game winning catch at the wall on the play that tied the game. He was carted off.
Did some looking...the Omaha potential callups if needed(Omaha stats):
Brett Philips .176 (3 for 17)
Jorge Bonafacio .000 (0 for 25) ---or---
Bubba Starling .333 (6 for 18)
Its unlikely to be Bubba strictly because he is not on the 40 man roster currently and it will be a short call up. But at this point, he is as good of an option as any unless they want to give current AA level Khalil Lee some big time at bats for a week.I would like to see Bubba. Maybe it's just the Nebraska connection. My son was able to watch the game and mentioned that Whit hit it all over the place, just that someone was always there. Congrats on his record. He wasn't going to get to 54 anyway, IMO.
That's a magic number! Really psyched for his start this year. Have to believe that the speed and batting averages in front of him are getting him a much better mix of pitches to look at. The offense hasn't looked bad and the starting pitching, on average, has been OK, but the pen needs some swagger (as do those of MANY teams). Royals haven't looked as bad as 3-10, but man the Yost years have brought way too many of these long losing streaks. Doesn't help not having a traditional streak-stopping ace, but Keller and Junis do bring some quality to the rotation.Royals win big as I was not able to watch.
Alex Gordon now hitting .390.

You might, however, be mistaken in believing that Krown's innovative automobile body maintenance programme only applies to smaller vehicles such as family transport.
Not necessarily so; Ken Parkinson's crew at Krown Rust Control on Rymal Road East would beg to differ.
A large part of their business involves fleet vehicles. And that can mean anything and everything from buses to front-end loaders; tractors to transport trucks; gravel dump trucks to fire engines. If it's made of metal, has moving parts and has a value, then owners' need to insure their investments.
When some heavy duty vehicles run in the neighbourhood of three quarters of a million dollars, you will likely not turn it back in for a trade after a few years. To maximize your return on investment, you will do whatever you are fiscally able to protect your investment as much as possible for as long as possible and that's where Krown's protect, maintain and save programme is invaluable.
Ken services many different businesses with large equipment on their sites. This mobile service enables Ken and his team to manage an organization's fleet of vehicles on their turf and as such minimizes expensive downtime. It's this type of service that differentiates him from his competitors. Long-time clients include inner city bus lines, transportation and trucking fleets and municipal agencies.
And for the record, the very same process and corrosion inhibitors that Krown uses on your family's mini van is used on fork lifts and the like. So much so, Ken is pleased to say that Haldimand County have had their fleet account on Krown's maintenance programme since 2001 – and that represents more than 50 trucks and assorted heavy equipment annually.
Here's a case where size does not make a difference. Call Ken Parkinson of Krown Rust Control Hamilton at (905) 575-0577 for a fleet estimate today.

Back in 2008 I was first exposed to the world of digital marketing. It intrigued me. The idea that you can get people to find, buy and sell things online blew my mind. This year alone I read over 15 books on the subject.
In September 2009 I started my first website – HalloweenSecrets – A site dedicated to helping Americans have the best Halloween they could. Being my first site, needless to say it was a flop, but the lessons I learned I remember to this day. Those lessons were the need to have a strategy and not expect results too quickly. This year I read another 12 books about marketing.
In 2011, myself and my wife launched our first eCommerce and importing business.
Early in the eCommerce business I learned the importance of knowing how to sell with the written word. So I dedicated countless hours to becoming a top notch copywriter, where I could out-sell my competition, even through we were more expensive. And it worked. Unfortunately even though I mastered the marketing for my own business managing an importing business was not my skill set.
I quickly learned that I much prefer marketing to eCommerce, so decided to focus on helping other business owners with the skills that I'd developed.
I spent 2013 writing sales copy full time for clients in 27 different countries. However I observed something interesting. Once they had their copy, and once their sales pages were set up, most of these business owners struggled to get people to their websites, which meant they weren't seeing a return on their investment.
As a result I decided to learn how to master many different traffic sources to help them. This included SEO, Google Adwords, and Facebook Ads (Yes, back in 2013).
After learning as much as I could teach myself about traffic, I decided to join a 'large agency' to improve my skills and learn from 'the best' in the industry about SEO and Adwords.
It was there, that I discovered just how corrupt and dark the Agency world is. It was like walking into the underbelly of a criminal empire with the things that were going on.
They charged exorbitant amounts by the hour to the client, yet half the team I was managing was made up of university students not making $20/hr. Yes that's right, clients were paying upwards of $150/hr to get the best brains in the industry, yet the agency was hiring juniors to do their work.
On more times than I care to admit, I was told to charge more, quote more, or take longer doing things because 'the client has money'.
One time, a staff member was sick, and only got 20% of the work they would usually get done in a month completed. When I raised this with the powers to be, they said still bill the client as the 'hours were done'.
It was sickening.
It was disgusting.
And the worst part, as I did more digging, this was the norm in the world of 'big agencies'.
This wasn't the only agency doing this to their clients, it was how they were all acting.
After learning as much as I could it was time that I did something about the seedy underbelly of the SEO world. It was time that someone stood up, and competed with this corrupt world head on.
Small business owners, just like you, needed a fair go. They need something they can trust to get results, and someone who will deliver on their promises.
This is when I started Joel House Search Media.
I knew that with my SEO skills, and with the freedom to help small businesses grow without restrictions hanging over my head I'd be able to help countless business owners grow.
This year, in under 6-months of starting I was already the #1 ranked SEO company in 4 cities across Queensland.
Continuing to grow from strength to strength, we were able to help small businesses across Australia take over 2,500 page 1 rankings. And, of those, 629 #1 rankings for their most important, revenue driving keywords.
Fast forward to 2018 – and we are going stronger than ever. Not only are we ranked #1, 2, and 3 for major cities in Queensland, but we are shaking things up across the country.
Through all of this growth, and through helping hundreds of business owners, just like yourself, we've ensured one thing above all – to keep up our quality, and to ensure that you, the client, gets the best ROI and the best SEO available anywhere on the market.
This year, more than ever before we are focussing on how we can help out clients to get the best, fastest, and most profitable results possible – And the testimonials are rolling in already about how we're helping flood our clients businesses with more traffic, leads and sales than they've ever had.

Our motto here at NAR is "We Love eAuctions!" This is why I enjoy my work here, and without going too over the top, it's something like my vocation :) In eAuctions and the digitalisation of procurement generally I can see the future.
We've got a great team here and what we do, in a certain way, is to fight corruption by making procurement transparent, which is motivating for me and I know that I'm doing the right thing.
The best thing about working at NAR is my colleagues. We have a great team spirit, especially because people from several different countries work here and all get along well. I enjoy teaching English here, but it's also interesting for me because I can learn new things myself.


text: The President's Commission on Slavery and the University hosted a panel Friday called "U.Va. Student Voices — a 21st Century Perspective." The panel featured student leaders from the Black Student Alliance, the Minority Rights Coalition, the University Guide Service and Housing and Residence Life. Elizabeth Jones — a local attorney, legal historian and a member of the Commission's Community Relations Task Force — moderated the panel. The panel was a part of the Commission's larger conference called "Universities, Slavery, Public Memory, & The Built Landscape Symposium." The symposium welcomed guests from within and outside of the University and held several breakout sessions featuring panels on recognizing the legacy of slavery at universities, reparations, discussions with descendants, slavery and race, databases in the digital era and appropriate historical interpretation. The panel on student voices, one such breakout session, featured Brendan Nigro, the chair of the University Guide Service and a third-year College student; Raiya al-Nsour, the vice chair of advocacy for MRC and a second-year College student; Wes Gobar, the BSA president and a third-year College student; and Malcolm Stewart, Senior Resident of the Lawn and a fourth-year Batten student. Nigro began the discussion by commenting on the lack of awareness many community members have about the University's history. He provided an example about very few people knowing about the University's history with eugenics. "Up until this point — students, faculties and visitors have been able to self-select out of their own history," Jones said. "It sounds like that's not an option anymore, for a variety of reasons, August 11th and 12th probably being the most prominent one." When discussing suggestions for how students could escape this self-selection, Gobar suggested providing additional funding to the African-American and African Studies Department and others conducting research on slavery and the University. Nigro and Stewart expressed similar sentiments about the importance of having conversations about the ugly aspects of the University's past, even if they make some uncomfortable. "In my opinion, it's just as much the present as it is the history, and that's why it's important that it needs to be known," Stewart said. "That was not a singular thing that happened on August 11th, 2017 — that was a part of 200 years of history at this University." Nigro suggested having students go on historical tours of the University with their resident advisors as one way to confront the discomfort some people may experience about slavery and the University. "When you present this subject matter that people aren't used to discussing, oftentimes you'll be faced with silence," Nigro said. "It's when they go home … When you start those conversations, the majority of the people just think about it, and that's why I think public history … is important." Jones also asked the panelists about how they deal with transitioning their work and advocacy on to future generations of University students. Al-Nsour stressed the importance of writing detailed descriptions of their work and investing in young leaders. "[It] requires creating coalitions across the University," Al-Nsour said. Gobar also said student leaders may not have as much time as they think to effect change at the University. "If you hope to accomplish all the change you want in four years, you're going to be sorely disappointed," Gobar said. "Four years isn't a long time. I think knowing your limits is important." Jones concluded the moderated questions by saying that the University needed to work with the broader Charlottesville community to truly reconcile with its past. "If you are at a university or you [are] a community member in a town with a university, oftentimes there is no desire on the community's part to really care what happens on campus, or in this case, on Grounds," Jones said. "It's not just the history of U.Va. It's the history of my city."

Yes, we have some great offers on! Call us on 0330 0539115 to ask about 40% off laser hair removal.
At Transform we offer a bespoke treatment plan for each person. This means that the price for laser hair removal can vary. Following our consultation process, you will have a detailed pricing overview, as well as plenty of information regarding our flexible credit options.
IPL (Intense Pulse Light) treatment is an alternative long-term hair removal method that you might consider if you have a fair complexion. IPL technology can also be used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including thread veins, sun spots and rosacea.
IPL hair removal works in a similar way to laser hair removal – it uses light to heat up and destroy hair follicles, and it takes between six and eight sessions to get the area completely free of hair. But there's one important difference – IPL hair removal is more intense and goes deeper into the skin, which means it's usually only suitable for those with light skin types.
Thanks to our advanced technology lasers, we should be able to perform laser hair removal on anyone, including those with darker skin tones, as long as you have a suitable medical history and don't have a reaction to the patch test.
Most people require six to eight sessions to get the results they want, but your practitioner will be able to advise exactly how many are right for you. Sessions are normally scheduled between four and six weeks apart, and you'll notice that less and less hair grows back each time.
At Transform, all our practitioners are CTC-registered and receive ongoing training in the very latest laser hair removal techniques. We also use the very highest quality equipment to ensure your treatment is effective.
You'll notice that your hair grows back finer with each laser hair removal session, reducing by approximately 10-15% with each treatment until it disappears entirely. We recommend a top-up treatment once a year to maintain the smooth results.
Yes, shaving is fine. In fact, we'll ask you to shave between treatments as it makes it easier to perform the treatment, but you shouldn't wax or pluck as this removes the hair from the follicle so there's nothing for the lasers to target.
Winter is the best time to have laser hair removal treatment because it's easier to avoid direct sunlight, which can damage sensitised skin. However, you can have laser hair treatment or top-ups at any time of year, as long as you don't have a tan. As it takes several months to fully complete a course of treatment, it's important to plan ahead, so if you want hair-free skin in time for your summer holiday, you probably need to book your first session for January or February.
You'll need to keep the treated area out of the sun for approximately two weeks before and after your laser hair removal course, depending on your skin type. Your practitioner will advise you on what precautions you need to take and for how long. For darker skins, you may need to avoid sunlight for six weeks before and after your treatment to avoid marks appearing on your skin.
No, your skin needs to be totally free of tanning products. This is because the lasers can't tell the difference between natural melanin in the skin or stimulated melanin from the tanning products, so they'll heat up both structures to the same temperature. This can damage the skin and cause blisters, darkening or pigmentation.
You'll need to wait for approximately six weeks so that the hair has time to grown back in the follicle.
For your first consultation and patch test, you should leave hair unshaven so that the practitioner can properly assess the hair and take accurate 'before' photos. After that, we advise that you shave before each treatment session.
To treat your skin type, our practitioners will use a longer wavelength, which will destroy the hair in its follicle. This disrupts the cycle of hair regrowth, without damaging your skin, resulting in effective hair removal.
We always perform a patch test on all patients to ensure the treatment will be suitable. Our experienced practitioners will test a small area of your skin using the laser. Your laser settings will then be recorded before waiting 2 to 14 days to assess the outcome of the patch test (the darker your skin, usually the longer we need to wait).
The first step is to meet your patient advisor. You'll be able to talk to them about why you're considering hair removal treatment, whether laser or IPL would be right for you, the likely costs and finance options, and when you'd like to have the treatment. If you feel ready, we'll then book you in for your free consultation with one of our professional practitioners or nurses.
At your free consultation, your professional practitioner or nurse will ask you about the results you want to achieve. They'll assess your skin type for suitability to either laser or IPL hair removal. Both methods provide long-lasting results for hair removal. IPL (Intense Pulse Light) treatment goes to more depth and intensity to destroy the hair follicle, which means it's more suitable for a light skin type. Laser hair removal can be more suitable for darker skin. Darker skin has higher level of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour, so it absorbs light at a faster rate than light coloured skin. The advanced technology lasers we use for darker skin tones at Transform have the ability to tell the difference between melanin in the skin and the melanin in the hair to precisely target the area to be treated. Your practitioner will explain any risks and conduct a patch test. You'll then need to wait at least two weeks before starting your treatment, so we can make sure that you have not had an adverse reaction in the area we've tested. If your patch test is satisfactory, you can book your next appointment, at which your practitioner will recommend a personal treatment plan and, if you feel ready to go ahead, start the course of laser hair removal. You can discuss every aspect of your treatment with no obligation to go ahead. Our practitioners and nurses are extremely knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions you have.
On the day of your treatment, you'll be able to go through any last-minute questions with your practitioner or nurse. They will apply a cooling conducting gel before gliding the laser machine across the skin. You'll feel a slight tingling – some patients have described it as a hot pinprick or stinging sensation – but it shouldn't really be painful. After they've finished your treatment, your practitioner will apply a cooling gel and then an SPF sunscreen to sooth and protect the treated area. Each treatment can take between 15 minutes and two hours, depending on the amount of hair being treated. The underarm may take 30 minutes or less, legs 45 to 90 minutes, and the back 45 minutes to two hours. Our friendly, expert team will do everything they can to keep you comfortable throughout your course of treatments and ensure you're free of problem hair and feeling great as soon as possible.
Recovery times vary after a laser hair removal session, but you should be able to leave the clinic as soon as your treatment has been completed and go about your normal day-to-day activities. We just recommend that you avoid doing any activities or using products that could irritate the skin in the area where you've been treated. You should also try to stay out of the sun and apply SPF skin protection regularly.
We believe that the highest quality aftercare is just as important as the treatment itself, so we're here to support you. If you have any questions or concerns at all, you can contact our 24/7 helpline. Effective treatment is usually achieved over a course of six to eight treatments. These will be spaced about four to six weeks apart and you'll soon notice a reduction in hair growth after each treatment. Once your treatment programme is complete, you'll be able to enjoy smooth skin for many months. We recommend a top-up treatment once a year to ensure the area stays hair-free.

To quote the Dowager Countess, "Nothing is as bad as this." It was her most memorable line of the episode. But this line was uttered out of agony, and I'd take a million of her barbs over that. Did you ever think you would see Violet crumple in tears? That was one of the most heartbreaking moments in this episode.
If you haven't seen this one yet, stop right here. MAJOR SPOILER ALERT. Oh my God, this episode was almost too much. So horribly tragic -- and so infuriating.
You saw this coming with Sybil, right? From the moment Sir Philip arrives on the scene, with his title and all that toff brotherhood between him and Grantham. Sybil was pretty much sacrificed on the altar of England's dysfunctional class system. Sir Philip breezes in, and Grantham immediately prefers him over the family physician, Dr. Clarkson. Oh sure, Clarkson's been wrong before -- but he knows his patients, and his vision isn't clouded with smug arrogance.
More from The Stir: 'Downton Abbey' Mary & Matthew's Wedding in Danger
Grantham and Sir Philip are infuriating. But the misery over Sybil's death by eclampsia shortly after the birth of her daughter runs even deeper for the family. And what a horrible death it was -- from the scary labor down to the convulsions at the end. The kindest, most loving person in the Crawley family had an unjustly wretched end.
She was mourned upstairs and downstairs -- even scheming Thomas weeps for her! Even he was touched by her egalitarian love for her fellow beings. Sybil leaves such a legacy behind. I hope it's honored by her family.
More From the Stir: Preeclampisa & Eclampsia -- The Warning Signs You Need to Know
I have hope that it will be through Cora. Just before Sybil dies, she begs Cora to fight for Tom and the baby. After she passes, Cora passionately but quietly pledges to her daughter, "We'll look after them both, don't you worry about that." And then she calls Sybil her baby and I completely lose it.
Well, Grantham is in for it. He began the episode by insulting Edith's intelligence. She's offered a column and he dismisses the offer, saying the paper just wants her title. Matthew has discovered that he's mismanaged the estate and suspects Grantham considers being businesslike is too "mean" and "middle-class" for the Lord. And then Grantham takes the authority of an aristocratic doctor over his own family doctors -- to the peril of his daughter. Cora kicks him out of bed and I think it'll take a lot for him to work his way back into their bedroom. He knows he was wrong. I think he's horrified, too, and feels guilty at his mistake.
Meanwhile, a few other things happened in this episode. Anna's found proof of Bates' innocence and is working with the lawyer. But will Bates be too corrupted by prison by the time they get him out?
Poor Ethel, newly rescued from prostitution by Isobel Crawley and hired as maid and cook, is struggling. Did you see last week's episode, when she gave up her baby to the father's family? Poor Ethel! I see why she did it, but it still pained me to see her send her baby off like that. Now no one else wants to work under the same roof with a fallen woman, so she's doubly screwed. She's a terrible cook. Who knows how long Isobel charity will wear. (An aside: Somehow I got it into my head that Matthew's mother is named Colleen. Don't know where the hell that came from!)
Oh yeah -- and did you catch Matthew asking the doctor if he thinks that bruised spine he suffered might, er, you know, affect his ffffertility? I see a plot point coming: Matthew and Mary cannot have a baby. Will they fight Branson to take in Sybil's as their own? What happens when Branson insists on baptizing the baby as a (shudder!) Catholic? Will Cora fight for that -- and will it widen the rift between her and Grantham?

Do you think Sybil's death has irreparably damaged Grantham and Cora's relationship?

Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. Frantically they woke him up, shouting, "Teacher, don't you even care that we are going to drown?" When he woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the water, "Quiet down!" Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm. And he asked them, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still not have faith in me?"
Mark 4:35-41 (NLT)
This is a lesson I cannot hear too many times. So often I get caught up in the turmoils of life and forget to have faith that God is in control. It is then that I need the reminder to slow down and trust God.

Three international players have found new clubs in Europe after leaving Chinese football.
Demba Ba, John Obi Mikel and Jose Antonio Reyes all spent the last year in China, with the former two plying their trade in the Chinese Super League. However, for varying reasons, all three have decided that their futures lie in more familiar climates.
Ba, a Senegalese international, scored five goals in 17 appearances for Shanghai Shenhua, in what was his second spell at the club, following his move from Göztepe in the Turkish top flight. He has now moved back to Turkey to sign for star-studded Istanbul Basaksehir, where he will line up alongside the likes of Robinho, Gael Clichy and Emmanuel Adebayor.
The club are currently six points clear at the of the league after 18 games, with the 33-year-old set to make his debut against Kasimpasa on Monday. He also spent time on loan in the country at Besiktas during his first spell at Shenhua.
Another high-profile African player leaving China is John Obi Mikel. The Nigerian captain joined Tianjin TEDA in 2017 following 11 trophy-laden seasons with English side Chelsea, where he won the Premier League twice and the UEFA Champions League. However, he failed to settle in China and was keen to be reunited with his partner and two children, who stayed in London after his departure east.
He has signed a deal until the end of the season with Middlesbrough, who currently play in the second-tier of English football. The 31-year-old has passed his medical and will be announced shortly by the club, according to The Guardian.
Jose Antonio Reyes has also decided to cut short his time in the Middle Kingdom, with the ex-Spanish international signing a deal at second division strugglers Extremadura in his homeland.
The former Arsenal, Sevilla and Atletico Madrid veteran joined China League One outfit Xinjiang Tianshan Leopard in June after cutting short his contract at Cordoba CF. However, the club were relegated to the third tier of Chinese football at the end of last season, with the 35-year-old announcing soon after that he would be returning home.
He has now joined the Barcelona-based side in time for another relegation battle, with his new club, the ninth of his career, currently in the relegation zone and two points from safety.

The newest, fastest Intel Xeon Scalable Processor is now available to all Rackspace customers on Dell's 14th generation PowerEdge server, the R740xd.
The newest Intel processor, codename Skylake, offers higher performance, denser virtualization (meaning you can do more with fewer processors) and more flexible storage options.
And did we mention higher performance? Skylake now holds more than 110 world records for performance, according to IT Online, delivering "up to 2x the flops per click and 63 percent better performance" across common high performance computing applications compared to previous generations.
That performance is critical for companies like LKQD Technology, a video advertising infrastructure company that serves three million inbound requests every second. That's roughly 800 billion events every day.
Because its high-performance needs came with an equally high price tag on public cloud, LKQD came to Rackspace seeking the same (or better) highly scalable performance, but at a lower cost.
Switching to a Rackspace managed hosting solution gave LKQD access to the then-latest Intel Xeon processor E5 v4 processors, which it runs on bare metal, optimizing performance and significantly reducing the footprint it would have otherwise needed.
Now, LKQD is testing Skylake.
With Skylake, LKQD can utilize more cores, increase IPC counts and take advantage of even higher memory bandwidth.
"We have the potential of going from 22 cores to 28 cores, a 50 percent increase in memory channels and 20 percent more PCIe lanes," said Christophe Clapp, LKQD CTO and co-founder. "That would greatly enhance our per-server performance."
The increased compute performance and scalability LKQD Technologies will see from Skylake will be key to supporting the company's continued explosive growth — it's now the second largest U.S. advertising platform, with double digit annual growth.
Intel and Rackspace have a long history of delivering enterprise compute power with best-in-class managed services. For more than 15 years, we've offered Rackspace's Fanatical Support on top of Intel's best in class hardware.
With the availability of Intel's Xeon Scalable platform now available to all customers on Dell's 14th Generation PowerEdge server, Rackspace and Intel offer a solution that can:
- Lower total cost of ownership: Increased socket level performance, higher core counts, scaled out storage options, 10G networking, advanced security and serviceability features means customers need less infrastructure allowing for a lower TCO
- Stand up against cyber-attacks: With TPM 2.0, secure erase, system erase, and secure boot the platform is designed as part of cyber resilient architecture
- Deliver Greater Virtualization Density: The latest server platform allows for denser server virtualization, so you can do more with fewer servers
- Provide More Flexible Storage Options and Storage: the versatility of this platform allows us to combine different drive types – SSDs, large capacity HDDs, and NVMe to optimize for performance, capacity, or both.
"Given the demand [LKQD has] for high performance computing, the needs they have for low latency, products like our new Intel Xeon Scalable Processors really are a perfect fit," said Jeff Wittich, director of Cloud Service Provider Business at Intel of LKQD Technologies. "Being able to take advantage of the performance benefits of the latest processors is a huge advantage in being able to achieve business agility, and then also the savings they receive from it are really key as well."

Craig Keener has written a helpful article on Sabbath observance. If you're not familiar with Dr. Keener, I consider him to be the top charismatic scholar in the world. He's devout. He got his PhD from Duke, where I can't imagine even getting into. His commentary on Acts runs in the thousands of pages. All that to say, take what he says very seriously.
The ideas in the quotes below are what finally persuaded me that Christians should keep the Sabbath (that was before I read this article).
As I tried to study the biblical text honestly, I could see that this was not just a matter of keeping laws designated for Israel; God actually modeled the Sabbath rest in creation (Gen 2:2-3). Whether we take that narrative literally or not, the principle of the Sabbath is there, and it apparently is an example for all people, not just those who are ethnically descended from Abraham.
…observing the Sabbath is one of Ten Commandments (Exod 20:8-11). We take all the other Ten Commandments as universal; why exclude this one? In the Prophets, God promises to welcome Gentiles into his covenant, provided that we observe his sabbaths (Isa 56:6-7).

Getting the appropriate large bird cage for your favourite birds is 1 of the most critical decisions you will make. Even though utilized cages in general are secure, used wooden cages should be avoided as they are challenging to disinfect. A lot of bird owners had also suffered due to the truth they placed their parrot cage near a source of noise. Some of the biggest brands of parrot cage for sale right now are HQ, Avian Adventures, Prevue, Marvelous, Kings Cages and a lot of far more. Occasionally I would suggest you to acquire the most trusted brand exactly where there are parrot cage for sale.
There would be pet shops and these ornate and beautifully produced cages would be used in shops and homes for all sorts of birds. Whether or not purely for looks or for a bird's house, bird cages can be appealing decorator touches. Frequently occasions when the heat is high, your bird can die from exhaustion if it is not kept with a continual water provide. When searching for toys with rope, make confident the the rope is a cotton rope with a tight weave to it. Do not buy toys that have loose weaves, or appear like they may come apart easily, due to the fact this can also trigger the bird to turn into entwined in the toy.
We provide Stainless Steel cages and discount birdcage powder-coated cages, stainless steel bird cages, powder coated bird cages and low cost bird cages to fit any budget. Discovering the correct large bird cage is not also challenging when you know what to appear for. Below are some general recommendations to support determine what minimum cage size you should have for your bird. They are little so could be utilized for antique bird shows and sales or for dealers in market place locations selling birds.
Following these few basic bird toy security guidelines will not only preserve your bird wholesome, but will also show it how much you care for it. When you are mindful of your birds toy security, you can rest assured they will live a long and healthy life with you. If your bird is of the smaller variety, make sure that the bars are close adequate collectively so that the bird can't squeeze by way of. In the summer that constant warm air flow may possibly be as well much for your bird to deal with. In the bottom there're also rolling wheels for moving the bird cage everywhere, so that you don't need to have to worry about the portability. You can uncover bird cage covers in many pet provide retailers as effectively as on the net. If not, then the cage is extremely constrictive and is not a great living atmosphere for your bird.
The special cages I kept for myself that I could not portion with, ultimately had been lost in a fire of our new property in 2005. Nevertheless, it should be a large part of your consideration when it comes to acquiring a bird cage online. But I purchased it and love it. I believe doves or pigeons were carted to bird events in them. We have carried several other brands of bird cages over the years, and we no longer offer them simply since their merchandise had been lacking in top quality or the manufacturer wouldn't stand behind their merchandise. Or if you are pondering about collecting them, my advice would be to locate the style you like or the era of cages you like. Get an elegant free-standing home for your feathered pals with our metal bird cages suitable for birds in numerous sizes, like pigeons, parrots, canaries and parakeets.

How to transfer polygon data into freeform shapes in Microsoft Excel
If you are a regular reader or even subscribed to this blog, you will not be surprised to hear that I am working on a new challenge regarding maps in Microsoft Excel.
We had a lot of articles already on how to create Choropleth Maps in Microsoft Excel. The new project is about using maps in Excel again, but with a different type of visualization.
Since I am just starting out on this challenge, I can't provide more details yet.
Having said that, for the preparation of the new project, I had to work with geographical polygon data. Now, what's this?
"A polygon is […] a plane figure that is bounded by a finite chain of straight line segments closing in a loop to form a closed chain or circuit." (source: Wikipedia).
In the context of geographical visualization, a polygon represents a region (e.g. country) on a map. Such a polygon consists of a series of geographical points: pairs of latitude and longitude in a defined order (path). If you draw an outline through these points in the given order, you get a shape forming the boundary of this region.
And this was my challenge: transfer geographical polygon data into freeform shapes in Microsoft Excel. I am not sure, but I thought maybe some of you might be interested, so I decided to share my solution.
Today's post first shows how to plot polygon data on standard Excel XY Scatter charts and then describes my solution to transfer the data into freeform shapes. As always, the article provides a link to download the Excel workbook for free.

It's called grammar.

You won't get away with it.
