An oldie but goodie from my former boss (from when I was a freelance reviewer at the San Francisco Chronicle, lo these many years ago) Pat Holt: Ten Mistakes Writers Don't See (But Can Easily Fix When They Do)
Pat has recently resurfaced and is writing again at her blog, Holt Uncensored. In her most recent post, she talks about the idea of having online royalty statements for authors.

Anyone who follows U.S. public health issues – or who reads my blog posts – knows that the cost of the drugs needed to treat Hepatitis C infections is very high. The cost of these drugs is of particular concern to state health authorities who are charged with providing health care for Medicaid recipients and the incarcerated. The result is many states limiting access to treatment only to Medicaid recipients with advanced liver damage, and not making treatment available at all to those incarcerated, despite a high prevalence in this population. Louisiana estimates that it would cost the state $764 million to treat all of 35,000 residents who depend on state-funded healthcare, which would account for a quarter of the state's $3.6 billion health care budget. This cost is prohibitive to the state, so the health officials thought through possible options. After consultation with public health and legal authorities, Louisiana has proposed that the federal government use a 1910 patent law that allows regulators to appropriate inventions, such as pharmaceutical drugs, for the use of the greater public good. This would mean that the federal government would take exception to the general patent exclusivity given to pharmaceutical manufacturers, which allows them to control the pricing and manufacture of a drug formulation for 20 years from the initial patent application date.
28 U.S.C § 1498 and the Federal Government's authority to ignore patent rights
(DISCLAIMER: To my lawyer friends and colleagues reading this, this is a simplified explanation of the laws and policies at issue. Do not take me to task for a lack of complex statutory interpretation.)
The law at issue is 28 U.S.C.§ 1498. It is a federal judicial procedure law that outlines the legal remedies available to a patent holder whose patent was breached by the U.S. Government. The law states, in summary, that the holder can sue the government for "reasonable and entire compensation for such use and manufacture." So, if the U.S. were to utilize the patent information to manufacture an expensive drug – such as one of the patent-protected Hepatitis C treatments – the government would only need to pay the pharmaceutical company compensation for the manufacturing costs for the quantity the government diverted to a generic manufacturer under the breach, rather than the company-set market price for the quantity of the drug the government had manufactured.
The Takings Clause
The 5th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution provides, in relevant part, that the government cannot take private property for public use without providing just compensation. This Takings Clause describes the government's right to claim eminent domain over all property within the United States if extenuating circumstances require such action. 28 U.S.C. § 1498 outlines the Takings Clause as applied to patents and copyrights. The law codifies the means (lawsuit) by which a patent holder can take against the government to address the breach, and the compensation to which he would be entitled.
Sovereign Immunity
The principle of Sovereign Immunity is that a government, or sovereign, cannot be sued in its own courts unless it expressly consents to do so. While this rule does not appear in the U.S. Constitution, it is inferred based on the principle that the government is what creates the courts to begin with, so the courts cannot compel the entity under whose authority it falls under. Think of it as workplace insubordination: as much as some employees would like to be the ones imposing rules over their bosses, that is not how the system is set up. In 1910, Congress passed 28 U.S.C. § 1498 to expressly state that the U.S. agrees to be sued in this type of patent breach matter, thus allowing a party to sue the federal government for compensation.
Prior Uses of 28 U.S.C. § 1498
The idea of invoking this statute to address high drug prices is not a novel one. This statute has been used in many times in the U.S., usually in a National Security context. The Department of Defense used the law to procure drugs in the 1960s and 1970s for millions of dollars cheaper than the patent holder's price. Most recently, the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS) threatened to invoke Section 1498 to procure the antibiotic Cipro, the main drug used to treat Anthrax, which had become a public health and bioterrorism concern immediately following the attacks on 9/11.
Negotiation v. Litigation
Pharmaceutical companies have addressed the threat to their bottom line posed by Section 1498 by lobbying for the limited use of the law to only when national security requires it. Most companies have opted to enter into negotiations with government health authorities to bring down prices. It is unclear to what extent Louisiana has negotiated with manufacturers to get the drug costs down to a manageable amount.
It is clear that the state of Louisiana sees its Hepatitis C crisis as a public health priority, and in my Hep C policy world, that is great news. However, that is overshadowed by the apparent helplessness it feels to properly address the issue. Invoking Section 1498 should be seen as a last resort, and the proposal of such will hopefully motivate all relevant parties to come back to the negotiating table to allow the state to gain access to these life-saving treatments at a more manageable price.

Rich GOP donors blow another $63 million
Rick Newman,Yahoo Finance 18 hours ago . .
Money might be hard to come by in many parts of America, but its cheap in the 2016 election. Wealthy Republican donors have given nearly $400 million so far to presidential candidates with zilch to show for their efforts, including at least $63 million donated to super PACs supporting the latest GOP dropout Sen. Ted Cruz.
Cruz quit the race after losing the Indiana primary election to Donald Trump, who has nearly locked up the GOP presidential nomination. With nine primary contests left, Trump now seems all but certain to win enough delegates outright to clinch the nomination, leaving no path for rivals.
At this point, its no longer surprising that Trump is trouncing opponents. What is surprising, however, is the vast sum Trump foes have wasted trying to steer the nomination toward anybody other than Trump. Yahoo Finance has been tallying the millions spent in futility on this years presidential campaign, and the total spent on super PACs supporting losing Republican candidates now totals roughly $375 million. Thats more than Mitt Romneys entire estimated net worth. Its equivalent to two years worth of profits for Netflix.
Cruz enjoyed the support of a small number of rich donors willing to commit large amounts of money to his cause. New York hedge-fund manger Robert Mercer of Renaissance Technologies donated at least $13 million to a Cruz super PAC, allowed to accept unlimited donations, called Keep the Promise I. Toby Neugebauer, a Texas energy investor and son of a member of Congress, gave another $10 million to a second super PAC called Keep the Promise II.
The third Cruz super PAC, Keep the Promise III, collected $15 million from two Texas brothers, Dan and Farris Wilks, who became billionaires after they sold a fracking operation in 2011. Including the contributions of smaller donors, those three promise-keeping super PACs raised more than $41 million for Cruz.
A fourth Cruz super PAC, Stand for Truth, raised another $11 million. That super PAC had no eight-figure donors, but federal records show that Adam Roos, CEO of Goldcrest Investments in Dallas, gave $1 million, as did Gale Alger of Palm Beach, Fla., and a Houston company called Trinity Equity Partners. Other donors gave as much as $325,000 each. Much of the money was used running ads against Marco Rubio and Donald Trump. Smaller contrubitions from other donors pushed total funding for Cruz super PACs to $63 million.
As of the end of March, the super PACs supporting Cruz had spent about $42 million of the $63 million they raised, and it's likely they spent more in April as Cruz made his final stand against Trump. Still, there may be some money left to return to donors or pass on to other political groups. Interestingly, Keep the Promise II, funded entirely by Neugebauer, had almost all of its cash on hand as of March 31, suggesting some sort of deal between the donor and the candidate; Neuegbauer may have insisted, for instance, that the money be spent only on the general election.
Cruz also raised at least $78.5 million for his traditional campaign, with the maximum donation being $5,400. That fundraising total is the third highest of any candidate so far, behind Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. Since theres a relatively low limit on the maximum amount any individual can donate to a traditional campaign which must pay for campaign staff, travel costs, event rentals and direct campaigning expenses theres still a need for small donations from ordinary voters.
But a single rich donor giving millions to a super PAC can counteract thousands of small-dollar donations to a competing candidate, which is why super PACs have become so important. Still, the lesson of 2016 is that theyre hardly decisive. Donald Trump is poised to win the Republican nomination with virtually no super PAC support. He has mastered the dark art of getting free media coverage, worth millions in itself, and finding other ways to connect with voters that dont require millions in spending.
Democrat Hillary Clinton does enjoy super PAC support, totaling about $76 million in fundraising so far. But thats pretty much the entire super PAC haul on the Democratic side. Bernie Sanders doesnt accept super PAC support, and three other Democratic candidates raised a paltry amount through super PACs.
The tally for now shows Republican donors have burned through about $375 million in super PAC donations meant to support failed candidates, compared with about $1 million in super PAC donations for failed Democratic candidates. If youve got money to burn, maybe that lopsided ratio is no big deal. But anybody comfortable burning money tends not to have money for all that long.

the talking heads on the boob tube and the old party guard are still unable to comprehend why Trump is winning.
the GOP died years ago- dead, toast finit. They just haven't figured out they died yet.
The party rebuild is happening right now in front of our eyes-wake up. It won't be a bad thing either. Trump is not anything like the media has tried to portray him- they can't fathom what's going on either.
Trump is a successful biz man. that means he has negotiated for high stakes many times- recognises, recruits & hires talent - makes executive decisions.. he's just not a politician- he's the real deal for a change..
Don't envy the happiness of those who live in a fool's paradise.

I am 22 year old. My penis is uncut and it is too small -- about 1.5 inches flaccid, and when it is erect it will go up to 4.5 inches. When it is erect, I have pain at the penis head. I have the habit of masturbation from many years. Is that a problem for my small penis?
While your penis length is smaller than average, it is in the range of normal. Normal is considered anywhere between 3 inches and 8 inches when erect. Masturbation is also something that most men do during their life at some point. See "Is masturbation unacceptable?"
What isn't normal is to have pain when you have an erection. I assume that it is because your foreskin is not completely detached from the glans (the head of the penis), and is pulling on it. This is something that should be solved; otherwise, you will find having sex with your future wife to be difficult. There are some things you can try to get your foreskin to release from the glans; see the exercise where you pull your foreskin forward. If this does not work, you should see a urologist.

As a knowledge worker, your job depends on your ability to create real value for your clients and customers. You're expected to solve complex problems and create new possibilities. The good news is this is the work you love to do! The bad news is between meeting after meeting and inbox never-zero, you struggle to find enough time to devote to distraction-free concentration needed for producing your best work.
This post covers the concept of productive meditation from Cal Newport's book, "Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World". Cal says, "Deep work is so important that we might consider it, to use the phrasing of business writer Eric Barker, 'the superpower of the 21st century'."
I could not agree more. This post will cover two key ideas:
- Why deep work is essential, and if you don't need convincing, then jump right to #2.
- A powerful technique called "Productive Meditation" designed to help train your brain to focus and help you get more deep work into your already packed schedule. Don't worry. No incense or chanting required.
Deep work is the "cognitively demanding activities that leverage our training to generate rare and valuable results, and that push our abilities to continually improve". Shallow work, in contrast, is the non-cognitively demanding stuff that is increasingly taking up more of our day. You know what I'm talking about. Email management, attending meetings where you are not essential, reporting on work already done. Is that really where remarkable performance happens?
Deep work is where we invest time, diving deeply into the issues and problems we are trying to solve. It's where we find our flow state: pushing to find breakthroughs, discovering innovative ways to solve problems, and essentially doing our most remarkable work. You know that feeling. It's the work at the core of remarkable careers. Unfortunately, our always connected lifestyle has hijacked our lives, holding our deep work hostage. A casualty of our new way of working has been our ability to focus and truly engage in deep work.
It doesn't have to be this way. You can harness the superpower of deep work to make more of what you do remarkable.
Productive Meditation is a useful way to both retrain our brains to focus and to fit deep work time into our days without changing anything we do. So, what is it? Productive Meditation is when you focus on a business challenge while you are doing something physical. Maybe you are commuting to work, running, walking, taking a shower, or even cooking. The important thing is to commit this time and think only about how to solve that single business challenge.
Since reading about Productive Meditation in "Deep Work", I've been practicing Productive Meditation, and it has been a huge benefit to me! Not only am I getting better at focusing on a problem, I've also found it to be an inventive way to fit much needed creative time into my day. There's a reason so many great insights occur in the shower or happen on a run.
The key is to be intentional about Productive Meditation and to have your business challenge top of mind so that you can capitalize on opportunities to practice Productive Meditation.
Step 1: Think of your most pressing business challenge. What is the breakthrough that would drive the most value for your customers or have the most impact on your business?
Step 2: Identify the next time you will have 30 minutes of drive time, run time, or walking the dog time. I'm not talking about next week; I'm talking about right now.
Step 3: Commit to using that time for Productive Meditation to think deeply about that most pressing business challenge.
Try this for a week or two and see if you aren't impressed by the results!
Work well,

A couple of weeks ago, we organised a little photoshoot for ourselves as all we had were sweaty post-race selfies of us and we wanted some proper pictures for a change (part 1 of the shoot here). We called in the help of photographer Claire Pepper and called in some of our favourite sportswear brands to wear.
We think the shoot sums us up perfectly as a team: occasionally serious, but mostly idiots. Because some days, you just gotta let go and dress like a pineapple…

About us
In the 1970's, our founder was crippled in a mining accident. His training for the job consisted of 45 minutes of instructions on how to drive a TEREX rock truck fully loaded up and down a mountain. The training was inadequate and am paying the consequences for the rest of my life. We understand that an injured employee and his employer are not the only ones affected by an incident. Entire families are affected, many times for generations. That's why we are in this business, to make training available (and affordable) for anyone to assist in preventing injuries at work or home.
It's simple, when it comes to safety, we want everyone to be trained; No Excuses, No Bull. We focus our efforts in creating effective affordable and accessible solutions so that everyone can be trained, minimizing the cost, the resources needed, and train 24/7, anytime and place.

The bunting is fluttering above Lanark's streets, the dresses and costumes to be worn by the Queen and courtiers are in the shop windows, and Lanark's 2016 Lanimer celebrations get underway this Sunday.
The main week always begins with the Kirkin' of the man who will be Lord Cornet and on Sunday, in a procession led by the pipe band, Gordon Jess will make his way down to St Nicholas Church.
Gordon, a driving instructor, has a long involvement in the Lanimer celebrations, putting out his first lorry in 1997, and running many charity events to raise funds.
On Sunday he with current Lord Cornet Gordon Gray, former Cornets and local dignitaries will leave the Memorial Hall at 11.40am for the Kirkin' service at noon.
But it is on Monday night that Lanark's historic celebrations get going in earnest, with the Perambulation of the Marches.
Traditionalist claim that goes back to 1140, and a charter granted by King David creating Lanark a Royal Burgh, with a condition that its Marches - or boundaries - had to be checked each year. Throughout recorded history they have been, with a man chosen as the Burgh's standard-bearer each year to carry out the task.
Now hundreds, if not thousands, of townspeople will fall in behind his party when it leaves Hope Street at 6pm, heading along Waterloo Road and down the Stay Brae to collect their birks (everyone), jump in the Mouse (young folk) and actually visit the March stones (virtually only the Cornet and Cornet-elect!).
From 7.15pm Celia Orr dancers entertain at the Cross, and the Silver Club draw for five prizes of £1000 takes place, and then the Cornet and his party ride down the High Street ready for the Shifting of the Standard, which takes place after 8pm. The 2015 Lord Cornet Gordon Gray will return the Burgh Standard "unsullied and unstained" to be passed to Gordon Jess, who will be sashed by Grace Abernethy.
The celebrations continue on Tuesday evening sith the official Lanimer Ride-Out, the horses leaving the Cross at 4.30pm and heading for the Racecourse for the traditional races. The riders then head down to New Lanark, arriving around 8pm for a welcome from the village, and a presentation of a Loving Cup to Lanimer Queen-elect Morgan Shillan.
Everyone then has the chance to draw breath before Lanimer Day on Thursday.

The Pawtuckaway Mountains in New Hampshire are a small, rocky, circular range. They form the outline of an ancient volcanic ring dike, dating from 130—110 million years ago (Cretaceous era).
Pawtuckaway State Park is in Nottingham, New Hampshire.
The summit of South Pawtuckaway Mountain, seen from the fire tower.
The ring dike is a smaller and more accessible example of the same kind of geological process that formed the Ossipee Mountains to the north. The inner ring is roughly one mile in diameter, while the outer is measured at almost two miles.
If you are flying overhead, an aerial view clearly shows the ring:
Earthquakes occurred in the vicinity of the ring dike in the summer and fall of 1845. Known as the Deerfield explosions, they were described as subterranean noises often as loud as the report of a 12 pounder cannon when heard at a distance of half a mile but without echoes. They were the subject of much speculation at the time.

WASHINGTON -- Nearly a month into the federal budget cutting process known as sequester, St. Louis County heard this week that it won't lose money for disaster planning or for nutrition programs for women and children.
About 4,500 employees at Scott Air Force Base felt a measure of relief when the Pentagon said it would trim the number of furlough days for civilian defense workers to 14 from 22. And local programs aimed at preparing for a disaster won't be cut at all, at least until fall.
Federal budget cuts totaling $85 billion that took effect March 1 are still being apportioned by federal agencies, and the details of furloughs for many federal workers are still unclear. Concerns remain in the St. Louis region, where thousands of jobs are tied to federal research grants, to Scott Air Force Base and to defense contracts.
But so far, cuts are arriving more slowly and falling less heavily on people in need than anticipated, according to a spot check of entities relying on government funds.
In negotiations leading up to the sequester, the Agriculture Department warned that benefits for 600,000 women and children in the popular Women, Infants and Children program could be jeopardized.
But agencies operating the nutritional program locally are being told they will not be subject to cuts through the Sept. 30 end of the government's fiscal year. In a statement, the Agriculture Department said the agency's budget "will be sufficient for all eligible participants to continue being served."
Dolores Gunn, St. Louis County Department of Health director, said she learned, too, that federal monies flowing through Jefferson City for local disaster preparedness will remain steady through Sept. 30.
"We've kind of been sitting on the edge of our seats for quite awhile," Gunn said.
Nonetheless, the county must still confront vexing planning decisions, she said, including the possibility of layoffs. But now there is more time.
"Just because the federal fiscal year ends in September doesn't mean the needs of the community disappear then," she said.
Missouri's Department of Mental Health is among state agencies dealing with what a spokeswoman calls "a lot of unknowns." Based on across-the-board cuts, the department is bracing for the loss of up to $2.1 million for the programs it operates across the state
In the city of St. Louis, department heads are waiting for word on the level of cuts in public safety, health and other federal grants.
"All of it is of concern," said Maggie Crane, spokeswoman for Mayor Francis Slay. "Without that money, programs will be reduced or eliminated. There's no extra money anywhere."
Federal support for HIV services is among the question marks. St. Louis received more than $6 million last year under the federal Ryan White HIV/AIDS program. But nearly two-thirds of that allocation has been held up this year, and the extent of cuts through next year remains uncertain.
City health director Pam Walker said money from the program was used for doctors, transportation and immediate health needs of some 2,000 people who are HIV-positive.
"It's this huge uncertainty that I don't know how to plan for," she said. "If they just said it would be a 10 percent across-the-board cut, we could start working with that."
Clinics that treat tens of thousands of low-income people in the St. Louis area had reason to fret as Congress maneuvered to lock in the sequester.
But thanks to a pot of money available under the Affordable Care Act, clinics that provide health services to more than 140,000 people in greater St. Louis expect to be able to make up for roughly 5 percent in across-the-board cuts.
Area clinic managers are being told that a $300 million increase budgeted separately under the health-care legislation for growing and expanding community health clinics can be used to make up about $120 million cuts across the country.
"It's definitely a relief because we're already financially stressed," said Joseph Pierle, CEO of the Missouri Primary Care Association.
The reduction of furlough days for some 700,000 defense workers across the country came after Congress shifted $10 billion between accounts in budget legislation to help the military better absorb $43 billion in automatic cuts.
More details are expected next week. But the 4,500 workers at Scott could be looking at 14 days of unpaid furloughs beginning in mid-June rather than the 22 days they were told to expect starting in mid-April.
Until a furlough plan is finalized, it is unknown how many of the civilian defense workers in the region, including the 5,000 at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, will be affected.
Furloughs for workers across the federal government are landing unevenly. As a result of an amendment that Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., helped engineer last week, federal inspectors at meat and poultry plants are exempted from unpaid days away from the job.
But the Federal Aviation Administration, which is closing control towers at 149 small airports, is proceeding with 14 days of furloughs. In Missouri, the Columbia Regional Airport and the Branson Airport are listed as closing starting April 7. In Illinois, the towers at St. Louis Regional Airport, the Southern Illinois Airport serving the Murphysboro/Carbondale area and the Central Illinois Regional Airport at Bloomington-Normal were slated for closing.
The National Park Service is among agencies averting furloughs with a hiring freeze and other cuts. But employees at the Justice Department and some agencies may not know for weeks when if furloughs will occur.
The uncertainty is weighing on federal workers such as Mike Hinchcliff, an auditor in the local Defense Contract Audit Agency office.
"You just feel like you're a punching bag sometimes," said Hinchcliff, a union steward for the American Federation of Government Employees.

Kurt Nimmo and Alex JonesInfowars.comMay 1, 2011CNN and
the corporate media report this evening that purported CIA asset Osama bin Laden has been killed by the U.S. military in a
mansion outside the Pakistani capital of Islamabad along with other family members.
In an address to the nation, Obama said he ordered the strike that allegedly
killed Osama. The remainder of his speech followed the standard war on terror propaganda script.A small team of Americans
killed bin Laden in a firefight at a compound in Pakistan, the president said in a dramatic late-night statement at the White
House, the Associated Press reported following Obama's address.Obama said the military took custody of his remains.
It remains to be seen if the government will attempt to provide evidence that the remains are indeed those of Osama bin Laden."The fight against terror goes on, but tonight America has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes,
justice will be done," said former president Bush. In 2006, Bush admitted that capturing Osama was not a top priority.
In February, 2004, Iranian state radio claimed Osama bin Laden had been captured
in Pakistan's border region with Afghanistan "a long time ago." Pentagon and Pakistani officials denied the report.
"Osama bin Laden has been arrested a long time ago, but Bush is intending to use it for propaganda maneuvering in the
presidential election," the radio report said.Osama bin Laden died of kidney failure soon after the September 11,
2001, attacks. In 2002, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf said bin Laden had kidney disease, and that he had required a
dialysis machine when he lived in Afghanistan. That same year, the FBI's top counterterrorism official, Dale Watson, said,
"I personally think he is probably not with us anymore."A Taliban leader told the Pakistan Observer on December
21, 2002, that Bin Laden was suffering from a serious lung complication and died in mid-December, in the vicinity of the Tora
Bora mountains. The source claimed that bin Laden was laid to rest honorably in his last abode and his grave was made as per
his Wahabi belief, according to Fox News.Alex Jones was told live on the radio in 2002 by high-level Council on Foreign
Relations members that Osama Bin Laden had died of kidney failure in early 2002."I have it from high level [sources]
from inside the Bush administration...that bin Laden died of natural causes and that his family has given the body to the
CIA, that they're gonna roll him out right before the election, that he's on ice right now. They will claim they killed him
right before the election," Alex said at the time."Jones gave a caution that the intelligence could be disinformation
but claimed that his base in Austin was extremely close to the Bush administration and similar information received in the
past had been credible," Paul Joseph Watson wrote in August of 2002.During the 2004 election, CNN reported that
Democratic insiders had been told that George W. Bush was going to use the Bin Laden body as an ace-in-the-hole if he thought
he was in danger of losing the 2004 election. This confirmed the evidence that Jones had been given by the CFR and others.In 2003, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright told Fox News Channel analyst Morton Kondracke she suspected Bush
knew the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden and was waiting for the most politically expedient moment to announce his capture.
Benazir Bhutto, who was killed in a suicide attack at the end of 2007, stated
that Osama bin Laden had been killed by Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, a man convicted of kidnapping and killing journalist Daniel
Obama's announcement follows the release of a highly suspicious birth certificate
last week. Both events represent psychological operations that possibly portend more significant events in the days ahead
as the U.S. dollar continues to lose its reserve status, the economy fails to recover as promised, and wars expand in Libya,
Pakistan, and Afghanistan.Obama's propaganda stunt arrives as the Democrats kick off their leader's presidential reelection
bid against a number of Republicans contenders who have been highly critical of not only his perceived handling of the economy,
but also his management of the manufactured war on terror.

This month's bake comes from a recipe book found within the Sykes Family papers and dates from the 17th century [U DDSY3/10/6].
Recipe and ingredients...
To make lemmon bisketts
To 2 pound of almonds blancht and beaten very fine with a litell orange flower watter putt the juice of one large lemmon and the pill of 3 beat very fine with the white of an egg beaten to a high froth then take 2 pound of sugar well dryd then strew it into the almonds just before you bake then squint it upon papers and bake then in an oven heated for manchets.
This time I thought I had chosen a fairly simple biscuit recipe and being an avid watcher of the Great British Bake Off, assumed I had the skills to follow the recipe without any major problems. This was a bit of a mistake...
I managed to buy all the ingredients, even the orange flower water was easier to find than I thought, but once home, I realised there were not enough ground almonds! Instead of waiting and buying more, I decided it would be fine and chose to wing it. Over-confidence is very uncharacteristic of me but I was still labouring under the impression it would be fairly simple. As such, I ended up with only 300g of ground almonds (not 2 lbs) and 300g of sugar.
|Rolling out the dough...
As instructed by the recipe, I weighed out the almonds and put them to one side whilst I beat the lemon juice (1 lemon), lemon peel (1.5 lemons) and the egg white to as high a froth as I could manage with a manual whisk (I was attempting to be as historically accurate as possible). I then weighed out the sugar and mixed all the ingredients together. At this point, I realised that not only was the mixture very bitty (even finely ground almonds are not as smooth as flour) but it wasn't sticking together to form a dough, and I had forgotten the orange flower water! Consequently, another half lemon was squeezed into the mixture, and lo and behold, the mixture became too sticky! Over-confidence strikes again! With no almonds left to try to reduce the stickiness, I gave in and got my plain flour out. A very liberal amount of dusting later, the dough was just about firm enough to roll out and cut into shapes.
|Before the bake...
Into the oven...
As with all old recipes, there was no indication as to oven temperature or cooking time. To be on the safe side, I opted for 180C for 10 minutes. I then did a very good impression of Great British Bake Off contestants by staring into the oven for the full 10 minutes! By the 10 minute mark, the biscuits were going golden brown/slightly burnt on the outside but had remained fairly soft in the middle. Nervous of leaving them in too long, as they could end up entirely burnt, I took them out and let them cool down. In the end, the biscuits have turned out quite reasonably, with a crispy outside and soft chewy centre, which seems to have gone down pretty well with the taste testers at Hull History Centre.
|The finished bake!
So, with a last note of over-confidence before returning to my normal self, it turns out you can practically ignore a recipe and still end up with something reasonably edible!
Colleagues comments:
Sarah - Crispy, chewy and very lemony. Lovely!
Caoimhe - Yummy, very lemony and chewy, fab after taste.

Stretch Marks | Striae
Stretch Marks are a form of scarring caused by the tearing of the dermis which appear on the surface of the skin in long streaky lines, initially coloured from pink, or red, to purple, but usually fade to whitish or silvery shades over time. Usually slightly raised at first, they may even out in time, and become less noticeable, but will never disappear completely.
Their causes are often associated with rapid stretching of the skin, due to pregnancy, weight gain or loss, and growth spurts. Other factors that may influence their occurrence could be hormonal changes during puberty, or bodybuilding, and Hormone Replacement Therapy.
Stretch Marks can appear anywhere on the body, but are most likely to manifest in areas with greater percentages of fat storage, such as the abdomen, upper arms, breasts, hips, buttocks, back and inner or outer thighs. Stretch Marks are not a health risk, nor do they interfere with normal body functioning.

Deloitte study finds analytics essential for IT success
Big Four firm Deloitte has released its latest study identifying trends currently having an important impact on companies across various industries.
The multinational systems designer, integrator and consultant has issued its third Analytics Trends report, which was released on 13th January. The study picks out items of importance for business operation in the accountancy and financial sectors and beyond.
As IT systems become even more integrated in the day-to-day running of businesses across the spectrum, cyber-security is a major issue. The report found that more companies are going on the offensive and employing predictive approaches in the way that they deal with monitoring threats and assessing risk intelligence data.
Changing business priorities are also highlighted in the report as it notes that effective use of analytics is a vital component in achieving new levels of innovation and value.
Security breach dangers
The trend for cybersecurity was already a major influence on business activities last year, but it continues to grow in importance as high profile cases of losses in both value and reputation continue to hit the headlines on a regular basis.
A security breach can not only lead to a loss of data, but also product design and other intellectual properties are vulnerable to theft or sabotage.
With increasingly complex technology architectures being used by every type of business, especially in the financial sector, systems are being targeted by hackers who realise that security can often be easily compromised.

I spent my day Saturday going over my local ballot (the vote411.org ballot is quite handy, although the questions they asked weren't as revealing as I might have liked).
I live in Florida right now. We have a three-way race going on for our Senator. (Well, a lot more ways than that, but three major candidates.) If the polls are to be believed, Marco Rubio's going to run away with the thing. Which I'm not thrilled about. After looking things over, I decided I wanted to vote for Kendrick Meek, and not just because he has a (D) after his name. But Charlie Crist (former Republican, running unaffiliated, promises to caucus with the Democrats if elected) is polling better than he is.
There's been some discussion of whether Meek should withdraw and urge people to send their votes over to Crist to defeat Rubio. He hasn't. Crist, of course, would never even consider withdrawing and sending votes to Meek (but he did make announcements that Meek was going to encourage people to vote for him instead).
So, depressingly, as I looked at the empty ballot, I had to think about whether I was going to switch from voting for a candidate I think I can actually feel kind of good about to voting for a "lesser of two evils" candidate who has a higher chance of winning.
Even more depressingly, I was relieved to discover that if the current polls are correct, Rubio will win even if every Meek supporter switches over to vote for Crist. So I don't have to compromise my principles. Because the candidate I least want to see win is going to win no matter what I (and voters like me) do. Yay.
At least the Governor's race is close enough that votes are highly relevant.

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season with your loved ones. For me, it was about spending quality time with my family and close friends, and enjoy the deliciousness of life. Not only, did I host Christmas Day dinner, but, I also cooked a Prime Rib dinner for my son's birthday on New Year's Day. As you can imagine, I have been busy in the kitchen, That's not all, I also made a very easy and delicious treat, a Nutella Pizza to start 2016 on a sweet note. If you are like me, and don't have a knack for baking, this dessert is for you. It's so easy, a 5-year-old can make it, (with an adult's supervision.) I bought freshly made store-bought pizza dough, and Nutella, a scrumptious hazelnut spread with cocoa. It is the star ingredient in this recipe. I use raspberries and hazelnuts as toppings, but you can use any toppings of your choice, just like you would do in a regular pizza.
Servings: 6-8 Level of difficulty: Easy
- 1 lb. pizza dough*
- Flour to sprinkle on cutting board
- Pam – spray
- 1 – 13 ounce jar of Nutella
- Confectioners sugar for garnish*
- Raspberries, or any fruits of your choice
- Roasted hazelnuts, or any nuts
1) Pre-heat oven to 500 degree F.
2) In the meanwhile, put dough out to reach room temperature. Sprinkle some flour on a wood board, and use a rolling-pin to roll the dough. Stretch it as if you are making a pizza.
3) Spray Pam on the bottom of a round 13-inch pizza pan, place the dough and press it down around the edges. Take a fork, and poke a few holes on pizza to avoid bubbles during baking.4) Place on the middle rack, and bake for exactly 6 minutes, depending on your oven. To check for doneness, lift the bottom of pizza with a fork or knife, and if it has a nice golden brown color, then it's done. Remove it, and put it on a board.
5) Using a spatula, spread the Nutella all over the pizza while it's hot. Sprinkle the sugar, and garnish with fruits and nuts. Cut in triangles like a pizza. It gets a little messy but that's all part of the fun! There will be lots of finger-licking!
I love the idea of hazelnuts because that is one of the ingredients in the Nutella, but you can use any other nuts.
My family told me that I was trying to kill them, in a good way, of course. It was mouth-watering, and devilishly scrumptious.
Tips: 1) You can make a homemade pizza dough
2) Serve it at once, while nutella is hot.
3) Confectioners sugar is the white powder sugar
WARNING: Highly addicting!
Wishing all of you, a Happy and Sweet New Year in The Kitchen!
Updated – 10/27/2016 Dedicated to my beloved dad in heaven. RIP July 2016

Whether filling masterbatch, masterbatch, or other functional masterbatch such as defoamer masterbatch, the dispersion of masterbatch is always the primary issue and is of utmost importance. When our customers choose the masterbatch, the first consideration is the quality of the masterbatch dispersion, followed by the performance of the masterbatch on the product itself and the price factor. Manufacturers of master batches, regardless of the level of technology, are very clear that as long as the selection of better dispersing aids and carriers, the use of a large enough amount, then the dispersion problem is not a problem, but also do not worry about the accompanying additives and other defects, Of course, the cost is also very impressive. In the current masterbatch market environment, the price of masterbatch has been weakened for a long time and the market competition is fierce. The customer's demand is becoming more and more critical. This presents a dilemma for many masterbatch manufacturers. First, masterbatch such as EBS, high-end PE wax, etc. is used to produce masterbatches. The dispersion and performance of the masterbatch satisfy the customer's requirements, but the cost cannot be reduced. Acceptance is low; Second, the use of stearic acid, paraffin wax, low-end PE wax and other additives to produce masterbatch, the cost is relatively low, the price is easy for customers to accept, but the dispersion effect is not ideal (white spots, lines, spots, patterns , rough feel, etc.), low performance of masterbatch, precipitation of additives (products appear on the surface of powder) phenomenon frequently, poor masterbatch quality stability, customer's stability is also poor.
So, is there a way to improve the dispersibility of masterbatch, eliminate the phenomenon of analysis, increase the cost, and even reduce the cost? This has been difficult in the past, but since the advent of compound dispersants dedicated to solving the problem of masterbatch dispersion, this problem has been relatively easy to solve.
The composite dispersant has multiple effects such as dispersion, lubrication, and coupling, overcoming the traditional dispersants (such as stearic acid, PE wax, and stearate, etc.) having a relatively single function, unsatisfactory dispersion effect, and unstable quality of the master batch product. Such drawbacks can more effectively improve the dispersion of the masterbatch; at the same time, the composite dispersant does not produce the phenomenon of precipitation such as stearic acid, and the price is relatively low, which is equivalent to the price of low-end PE waxes. Comparing with the genuine EBS production masterbatch experiment, the comprehensive dispersion performance of the composite dispersant exceeds EBS.
In the masterbatch formulation, the auxiliary agent is mainly composed of a composite dispersant (addition ratio is adjusted between 3 and 6% according to cost and quality requirements), and then some other lower-end additives (such as paraffin and zinc stearate) are added. Etc.) Make up the amount. This not only ensures that the masterbatch has excellent dispersibility, but also solves the precipitation defect, but the cost does not rise, and even on the original basis can be reduced by about 5 to 10% or more.
Manufacturing customized how to solve the problem of masterbatch dispersion and precipitation, we are well-known among those famous such suppliers in China, welcome to purchase how to solve the problem of masterbatch dispersion and precipitation from us.

To achieve a full looking healthy hair you need to get good hair coverage from the scalp up. As a user and a person who nonstop thrive to improve I found Samson hair fibers to be the best product considering all the above: The weight was perfect some fibers penetrated the hair layers and lay nicely on the scalp. The others adhered well to the hair shafts. the fiber color blended well for the reason that your hair color can reflect on these fibers too. Samson hair fibers consisting a variety of fiber sizes, weight and color shades to achieve a balanced natural look. Samson hair fibers are not made of wool and non-irritating.
Not all hair fibers, thickeners, concealers alike: They are made with various materials and techniques with one common goal to achieve better hair coverage and give you a great looking hair.Toppik™ is probably the most used and known brand, Toppik is known to be made of wool (sheep hair) wool can be irritating especially in the summer time, I personally used Toppik™ and I used to go crazy not understanding why my scalp is so itchy until I found out it was made of wool. There are quiet few brands out there…I have tried them all and so my friends. Some were too dark or light but the major problem with most hair fiber brands was the size and weight of the fibers: Remember, we need the fibers to hold on to our own hair longer and better, it should also cover our scalp somehow to create an illusion of full dark hair. Some brand fibers were too heavy and could not cling to the hair for long time simply sliding down on your scalp to your forehead, neck and behind your ears (felt like sand). Some hair fibers were too light and stayed on top of your hair "bulk up" and did not penetrate deeper and the more you tried to add hair fibers it looked worse.Other brands were made of materials that did not blend into the natural hair color and feel and in certain light you could tell the obvious difference. Samson Hair fibers has all the unique characteristics to blend and look natural from the start.
Hair fibers are made of organic and keratin proteins and sometimes synthetic ingredients or both. The fact that they are organic or not, keratin or not, have no significant value. The Hair fibers are designed to help hair looking fuller and better but do not improve your own hair health, hair loss or any other problem they truly provide a cosmetic purpose, however hair fibers do not harm you in any way or decrease your hair growth. Good hair fibers will give you great natural looking coverage for longer time without irritation and they should stay on your head not on your face and shoulders.
Samson Hair Fiber have dramatically improved their Hair building fibers by creating the "Non Clumping" and "Stay put" formula. The new fibers have gone through extensive testing by over applying the fiber to the hair and also exposing it to some humidity. The results were amazing the fibers did not clump. Our researchers also tried vigorously to shake off the fibers of the hair, a good amount of the fibers remained cling to the hair.
Samson hair fibers are dyed with "Moisture Guard" technology (preventing capture of humidity) and their color will not run when wet or sweat.
Samson's new fibers are capable lasting for many hours on your hair and not your shoulders, neck and forehead. At Samson Hair fiber researchers are motivated to create the best products in the world and make a difference.
Samson hair fibers colors do not run: Some Toppik usres complained that when they sweat they noticed that their sweat was turning green , Yes , Green Blue and Red are colors that are used to dye many products however with our coloring proccess that is not happening .
The pillow test: Typically you should wash your have before you go to sleep and not find your pillow full with fiber, using a thin comb we removed all we could (this fibers are so good they will not easily come off) and slept with it. Toppik users told us that if they slept with the fibers on their hair, a good amount was all over the pillow, they were surprised to find that Samson fibers remained on their hair and not on the pillow. James ( a volunteer ) wrote in his email: "Guys you have re-invented the wheel, Thank you"
A recent welcomed addition was the Hair Fiber Mist a hair spray that dries in less than 10 seconds; locking the fibers in place while helping you styles your hair easier. Samson Hair mist is designed to lock the fibers to the hair and not irritate the skin, smells fresh and clean, try it you will not be disappointed.
All the products are guaranteed to your satisfaction. Read what the others are saying.
The Keratin Hair fibers are laser cut so light and small and then go through Electro-static energizing process. once they come in contact they get attracted to hair shafts (see diagrams) therefore thin hair seem few times fuller and darker due to thousands of tiny fibers clinging to the hair and it appears thicker.Genius idea, yet so simple and safe.
Apply Samson hair fibers to dry clean hair. Hold the container like a salt shaker above your head (if you are not sure of how much to pour or how hard to shake, practice above a white sink and you will get a very good idea) and start sprinkling the fibers evenly over the area needed coverage. Shake and sprinkle gently until you have achieved the desired coverage (do not over spill). Style your hair using a soft brush softly brushing and try not to let the brush touch your scalp, this soft motion brushing helps distribute the fibers evenly across the thin hair area in width and depth. Use of the locking-spray helps lock the fibers in place and targets the bond betwwen the fiers and your hair only. that's it! With Samson hair fibers you will achieve great natural looking results.
IMPORTANT: BEFORE USE Please fill the container half way and save the rest. The hair fibers may get compacted during shipping, shake and use a thin object to mix the fibers in the container and shake again if necessary.
If you are applying to the back of your head, or can't see well the thin hair area make sure to use a large mirror so you can see it well. (you can buy one in beauty supply stores)
Once you applied the fibers do not apply water to your hair (finishing touches can be done with hair styling pastes etc).
If you want to use a spray, start with light spray first wait few seconds and check if you need more. Dont over spray
While applying hair fibers makes sure to cover your light color shirts, don't worry the fibers don't stain and can be shaken-off and washed. It is advised to apply before wearing any shirts.
For areas where you have over applied: if it is on your scalp, simply use a Q tip and softly nudge the access fiber and if the access fiber is "floating" on your hair use a thin comb to collect the access fiber.
The use of atomizer is great for small targeted area and it is slow and time consuming for large areas, however it is great in saving you money since it minimizes the waste of hair fibers.
You must have some hair for the fibers to hold on to, be surprised you might have more hair than you thought once you apply the hair fibers you will notice that. Obviously this product will not cover bald areas.
Carry an extra container in your car, purse, and office desk wherever you may need it, in case you need to touch up or left home without it.
Clean dry hair will hold the fibers better and longer.
Will not affect you if you are using any mediation or treatment for hair loss.

Self storage units come with a variety of features that are offered to provide you with the best storage solution to fit your needs. While many items may be stored in a regular storage unit, it is often better to use a humidity-controlled unit to keep your belongings in their best condition while they are in storage. Humidity-controlled units are equipped with temperature regulating controls that can prevent damage from fluctuating temperatures while also reducing the amount of moisture that can accumulate in a unit. If you are exploring the different features available for your storage needs, then the following situations may require you to consider the benefits of using a humidity-controlled unit.
Severe Climates
In many climates, it is common for there to be a wide range of temperatures that can occur between seasons. Harsh winters and very hot summers can lead to serious damage for belongings that are left to the elements. Intense heat can warp furniture, melt plastics and damage electronics. Additionally, the fluctuations between temperatures can increase the moisture in the unit that will damage furniture, documents and other materials. The best way to avoid these problems is to control the temperature and humidity in the unit.
Long-Term Storage
Items that are stored temporarily such as for a few days or weeks may not be exposed to as many changing temperatures. However, anything that will be stored for longer may need to be placed in a humidity-controlled unit. Electronic appliances, equipment and furniture are often expected to stay within specific temperature guidelines set by the manufacturer. Books and other items made from fragile materials are also susceptible to moisture build-up over time and can begin to mildew or rot if they are not in a humidity-controlled environment. Therefore, a person will need to consider this feature if an item will not be taken out of storage for several months.
Delicate Materials and Valuables
Antique furniture and seasonal clothing should always be protected from moisture. Additionally, items that are made from paper, such as books and important documents, will need to stay dry to avoid damage from mold and mildew. By controlling the humidity in the storage unit, a person can store delicate materials for many months without fear of costly damage.
Choosing the appropriate storage unit is an important part of keeping your things in top condition while they are in storage. For this reason, storage units are offered with a broad range of features that can be selected to ensure that you have the right size and type of unit for storing your belongings. If you will be storing your items for a long length of time or have belongings made from delicate materials, then a humidity-controlled storage unit is the ideal solution for keeping your belongings safe from the harsh conditions caused by moisture and temperature fluctuations. New London Self Storage offers humidity controlled storage units to Waterford, CT. Our facility is located within .5 miles of Waterford, CT.

You'll find Snack 55 on the recently refurbished stretch of Passeig de Sant Joan between Tetuan and Diagonal. It is one of the best value snack bars in the city. If you doubt this then order one of their Bikinis (ham and cheese grilled sandwiches) for €3.25, and see what you get for your money. Or, order one of their Americanos (bacon rashers, fried egg and cheese toasted sandwiches) for €4.25. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
They have a huge menu of hot and cold sandwiches, crêpes, hamburgers, paellas, pizzas, platos combinados, and an extensive list of tapas. There are 20 outside tables and a TV you can view from the street.
Local teens know this place as Cubalitros or Cubatas, as they serve a huge selection of very large and ridiculously cheap cocktails and mixed drinks, and it can be a lively place in the evening. If you want to join the fun you could buy a 5 litre bucket, a Cubolitro, of a spirits based concoction for just €15.
Friendly staff – once, during a particularly long and vicious rain storm, a waiter gave me a plastic poncho so I could keep myself and my laptop dry during my walk home.
Be sure to check out the chalkboards for special deals – such as hotdogs for just €1, or 5 quintos (20cl. bottles of beer) plus patatas bravas to share for only €7; and special offers on beers, you can sometimes get a bottle of Estrella or Moritz for just €1.

KABUL, Afghanistan, June 4 (UPI) -- A "peace jirga" of Afghan tribal leaders is expected to endorse an amnesty and jobs program to induce Taliban fighters to give up their arms, organizers said.
The three-day meeting ending Friday was marked by fierce debate on the government's plan to end the country's long civil war and a bombing attempt in the streets of Kabul, the BBC reported.
Observers say there is little indication the Taliban are inclined to deal, the British broadcaster said.
The militant group's key demand is that all foreign forces withdraw from Afghanistan before any negotiations can begin. The Taliban have been battling to overthrow the U.S.-backed government and drive out the 130,000 foreign troops stationed in Afghanistan.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai wanted to use the conference of about 1,600 delegates to enlist support for his plan to offer economic incentives to reformed Taliban militants. He has proposed offering amnesty and reintegration incentives to people who leave the organization.
Karzai also offered to negotiate the removal of some Taliban from a U.N. blacklist and to give certain leaders asylum in another Islamic country so peace talks could be conducted.
