Nespresso's business relies on the functioning of ecosystems on coffee farms. Their sustainable quality program, called AAA, aims to secure production of the highest quality coffee, while protecting the natural environment and improving the livelihood of the farmers that grow it.
One of the most important questions being asked during the 2012 IUCN World Conservation Congress has to do with the intersection of business and environment. Can a profitable business also be profitable for nature? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.
Nespresso believes the answer is absolutely `Yes`. During the Congress, they are outlining how they work with famers in Jardin, Colombia on a project to optimize farm productivity, coffee quality and water use. It is exploring some of the challenges facing coffee production in Colombia, which was recognized as one of the five most biodiverse countries by the World Wildlife Fund.
The Jardin project has helped Nespresso farmers double the volume of coffee sold, leading to a 17% increase in net farmer income, while reducing water usage by 63%, reducing water pollution by 100% and helping farmers save four hours or more of their time during the harvest.

For most of us garlic has become a cooking staple. You can give anything flavor by adding a little garlic to the recipe and you can grow it yourself if you have a little space in the back yard. For centuries garlic has been enjoyed for its culinary, medicinal and spiritual qualities, including fending off evil spirits and vampires and acting as an anti-bacterial. There was evidence of garlic in King Tut's tomb when it was discovered, so obviously the ancient Egyptians were growing it as far back as 2100 B.C. That's some serious culinary history.

Although your personal safety is maximized when you take precautions, you may still someday be the victim of a crime. Your reaction can affect whether or not you are physically harmed.
You should think now about how you might react under a variety of circumstances. Are you prepared to scream and yell? Will you be able to use force to resist?
- If you are faced with an armed criminal, the risk of injury may be minimized by cooperating with their demands. Avoid sudden movements and do what they demand.
- If you believe your life is in danger, use any defense you can think of — screaming, kicking, biting or running. Your objective should be to get away.
- If you have been the victim of a physical or sexual assault, call the police immediately.

It looks like the days of waiting two years for your next handset upgrade might be over. DroidLife is reporting that Verizon may be introducing its own "buy a new phone if you're sick of your old one" plan later next month. According to the site's source, the plan is called VZ Edge, and it will enable customers to upgrade their phones more often than once every two years to help them "stay on the leading edge of technology."
DroidLife cites a training slide, which offers details on the VZ Edge plan and how it can help customers avoid committing to a contract and upgrade fees by paying off a device over time. The slide isn't extremely specific, but it also mentions that customers who have committed to the recently announced monthly finance plan can upgrade their phone once they've paid off the other about halfway through.
From the looks of it, last week's T-Mobile announcement seems to have sparked a new trend among mobile carriers. The company introduced its new JUMP! Program, which allows customers to upgrade their phones twice every 12 months. DroidLife mentions that, in theory, one could actually upgrade more than that at Verizon if they manage to quickly contribute more than 50 percent to the cost of the phone. Regardless, we wouldn't be surprised if the other major US carriers began following suit with this business model.

Explicit Scientific Knowledge Comparison Based on Semantic Description Matching
Weisen Guo and Steven Kraines
ASIS&T 2008 Annual Meeting (AM08 2008)
Columbus, Ohio, October 24-29, 2008
Researchers begin new research by acquiring pre-existing explicit scientific knowledge that is potentially relevant to the research subject. In order to find some potentially relevant explicit scientific knowledge items, such as knowledge whose content is similar to the targeted research, a researcher must examine the semantics of each item. An automated semantic matching-based approach is presented for comparing items of explicit scientific knowledge. This approach obtains a matching score between semantic descriptions of two items of explicit scientific knowledge that indicates their similarity. Three dimensions are considered in this approach: matching granularity, similarity scale for instance classes, and logic similarity scale. In order to match two semantic descriptions, a six-step method is presented: creation of atomic queries, generalization of query classes, generalization of query properties, addition of rules, creation of instances implied by complex class definition, and semi-automatic pruning of matching results. Finally, related work is reviewed, and some conclusions regarding the approach are presented together with plans for future work.

Health and Fitness Boom
As the worlds of sports and fitness are intertwined, it wasn't before the 1970s that popular culture was prepared to take fitness as eagerly because it had recognized sports. Fitness hadn't yet adopted its importance for improving health, and popular opinion likened fitness to operate and hard physical work. Within the 1940s and 1950s, couple of took part in fitness voluntarily. Among individuals who did were Jack LaLanne, Victor Tanny, Frederick Gold, Frederick Weider, and L'ensemble des and Abbye "Pudgy" Stockton. These fitness pioneers, amongst others, came individuals to the shore in Santa Monica, California-the initial Muscle Beach. Visitors found watch their feats of strength and acrobatic displays. Increasingly more viewers grew to become participants, which people, initially around the fringe, grew to become an element of the cultural mainstream. Jack LaLanne, Vic Tanny, and Joe Gold all began gym chains with bodybuilding his or her primary focus. Due toPage 602 the influence of Abbye "Pudgy" Stockton, women were brought to the muscularity and strength that included bodybuilding. No more restricted to only for "strongmen," bodybuilding introduced about a general change in the mindsets of individuals who visited Muscle Beach.
In the seeds grown in the Santa Monica came Venice Beach, the house to bodybuilding legends Arnold Schwarzenegger, Frank Zane, and lots of, a lot more. Venice Beach within the 1970s introduced by using it an exercise explosion around the world. Not just did bodybuilding become mainstream, however the popular opinion of fitness altered dramatically. Americans within the 1970s consider using any means to enhance their physical fitness.
Sports and athletics increased within the 1970s too. Women grew to become more and more more curiosity about taking part in sports however, hardly any funding was available to add mass to woman's athletics. A landmark law was passed in 1972. A part of a number of educational amendments, "Title IX," legislated gender equity in athletics. Not just were women increasingly active and much more in good physical shape, legislation now existed that known as for equal funding and equal chance for female athletes. On 21 September 1973, female tennis star Billie Jean King defeated Bobby Riggs within the first-ever champion-take-all "Fight from the Sexes" tennis match. The hoopla surrounding the wedding-and it is outcome-provided much more incentive for ladies to get associated with sports and fitness. By 1977, an archive 87.5 million U.S. adults older than 18 claimed to engage in some kind of sports activity.
The fitness industry ongoing its growth in to the 1980s. Gym proprietors tailored their facilities to draw in customers and new gyms opened up round the U . s . States and round the world. The kitchen connoisseur was becoming part of popular culture. No more could it have been unfashionable to become sports, strong, or healthy. With the introduction of new technology, physical fitness could make their distance to homes. Fitness tapes grew to become available in early 1980s and then encourage individuals with whom a fitness center or health facility might not be accessible. Innovators for example Jane Fonda and Richard Simmons could bring their exercise programs to a different population. Joe Weider grew to become a substantial pressure in getting health, fitness, and bodybuilding as near because the mailbox through his magazines and pamphlets. Due to fitness pioneers for example Weider, Gold, Fonda, and Simmons, fitness is constantly on the play a substantial role in society. The significance of being in good condition and in good physical shape makes and retains an effect.

Located between Panama and Nicaragua in Guatemala, Panama And Nicaragua , has a proud culinary heritage. Many scorn Panama And Nicaragua , food options for being full of fatty foods, however in actuality Costa Ricans are much more active than other cultures.
Costa Rican's, in your area known as Ticos, never eat excessively. Restricting their portions is an excellent method they stay so healthy. Also, lunch is an essential meal of the day. Actually, like many Latin nations, companies and schools close lower for a few hrs at lunch to ensure that employees and students will go home and also have a leisurely meal using their family. This enables both a powerful concentrate on family existence, but additionally on slowing lower meals. In The Usa, an average school lunch lasts only 20 minutes for the most part and work breaks are often an hour or so tops, a lot of must get your meals at their desk or machine.

As Panama And Nicaragua , has water on sides using the Off-shore towards the west and also the Caribbean towards the east, fresh sea food is definitely available. Regrettably, the sea food can also be very costly because the country exports the majority of its sea food. Chicken, pork, and beef would be the popular meats. Panama And Nicaragua , food supplies use organ meat too so anticipate finding dishes involving stomach, brains, along with other organs around the menu. Other staples of Panama And Nicaragua , diet include vegetables for example tomato plants and a number of beans, fruits, including plantains, and grain.
Costa Rica's capital, San Jose, comes complete with outstanding cafes and restaurants. In San Jose, it's possible to experience bold foods and beverages.

Plantains act like bananas to look at, however they can't be eaten raw. Plantains are pounded flat, battered, and fried tender.
As you travels with other regions, the options for Panama And Nicaragua , food also decrease and be classical using the beans and grain dishes. Beans and grain dishes are often offered alongside a carrot and cabbage or lettuce and tomato salad. Sometimes Arroz, (fried shrimp or chicken), are located on the table rather of beans and grain.

It's possibly to select healthy different amounts of Panama And Nicaragua , food. Stay with lots of fresh vegetables and fruit and relish the wonderful mixture of culinary flavors.
Chinese Black Fungus For Health, Diets, Fitness, Slimming and Nutrition
Can fish and meat textures and tastes be located inside a vegetable? Chinese Black Fungus is famous of these characteristics, its vital nutrients and it is valuable contributions, like a nutritional supplement, to overall fitness and well-being. Usually acquired in dried packaged form, it takes washing before use.
Like a Product
Enriching bloodstream and stopping an iron deficiency anemia, Western medical science finds Black Fungus extremely effective in bloodstream viscosity modulation because it inhibits platelet aggregation thus lowering bloodstream-viscosity levels. In Chinese Medicine (TCM) its applications include anaemia, uterine bleeding, hemorrhoids, high bloodstream pressure and heart disease. Additionally, it figures considerably in cancer prevention and relief.
One such and affordable component in Chinese cuisine, it has been recognised within TCM like a medicinal food for centuries. Black Fungus, wealthy in nutrients for example iron, protein, fat, vitamins and polysaccharides, also includes vital trace elements like potassium, selenium and manganese necessary to your body's lengthy-term health.
Black Fungus' bittersweet taste isn't particularly strong, its texture is decidedly meat-like however. Its' presence in dishes serves rather to boost the flavours from the primary ingredients.
Like a Diet Aid
Black Fungus is really a potent ally in fighting against weight problems. Although really low-calorie, its meat-like texture (and taste) when steamed allow it to be particularly appetite satisfying. It's frequently put into other dishes to 'enrich' them, to bulk these up for dieting/ slimming purposes and for its valuable dietary contents.
Certainly not 'fast-food' it requires extensive soaking and cleaning before use. Offered by most Chinese supermarkets, Black Fungus may also be stocked by inner-city branches of Tesco.
'Fat Busters' to savor Alongside It
Keen dieters can wash lower their Black Fungus along with other proven Chinese slimming, weight-loss and diet aids like Eco-friendly Tea (Lu Cha) and Bojenmi Tea.
Eco-friendly tea energizes the heart, aids digestion and offers an over-all 'wake up' call. Encouraging fat metabolization and popular for dieting and slimming, general bodily detoxing can also be encouraged by Eco-friendly Tea consuming.
Anaemia sufferers (and ladies throughout their period) should avoid Eco-friendly Tea because it inhibits iron-assimilation somewhat. These should change to Bojenmi Tea (see below) and/ or consume Black Fungus to treat iron deficiencies.
Bojenmi Cha, also referred to as "a healthy body, nice appearance flesh-reducing tea" also encourages slimming and weight reduction. A mix of 12 medicinal herbs based on an old Ming Empire remedy, this enjoyable tasting tea aids digestion, lowers levels of cholesterol and it has a gentle laxative effect.
Both teas help eliminate fatty deposits from internal systems. Affordable Eco-friendly Tea's fat removal effect's are so that Chinese restaurants use left-overs to wash grease from tables at closing time.
Black Fungus, Eco-friendly Tea and Bojenmi Tea have the ability to internal cleansing, detoxifying and durability-inducing effects encouraging their inclusion in anti-aging and physical fitness nutritional regimes. The 3 are available in most Chinese Supermarkets
Benefit of Fitness Over the Last 30 Years
There has been many alterations in fitness in the last 3 decades. It's human instinct to remember occasions past. That's great but don't forget forget that things change too. This is really true in physical fitness. "Should you choose that which you usually have done, you're going to get the outcomes you've always become" holds true, what when the situation changes? Then what accustomed to work is not a practical and effect method of getting the outcomes that people want. In the following paragraphs I'll outline seven products which have altered in the last 30 approximately years affecting the way you view health, fitness, exercise and what's considered "best". Let us take a look at a few of these alterations in Fitness.
1. Level of activity
This transformation in fitness is fairly apparent. We simply don't move about around we accustomed to 3 decades ago.
Presently, the typical sedentary person residing in a metropolitan setting takes 900-3000 steps each day. Uh… this is a puny number! Within the journal of sports medicine existing literature was pulled together to create an over-all guideline of the items a great number of steps each day could be
The writer Dr. Catrine Tudor-Locke converted different exercise into steps-per-day equivalents. An interest rate of less than 5,000 is classed as sedentary, 5,000 to 7,499 is low active, 7,500 to 9,999 is sort of active 10,000 or even more is active and 12,500 or even more is extremely active. What exactly does 900 make us? Near to dead! Nevertheless its easy to assume. Wake up from, take elevator to carpark, drive vehicle, take elevator to office, sit lower, order junk food, turn back tactic to go back home and return to bed. Simply to note, 1km is all about 1300 steps.
Its become enough where we must intentionally inconvenience ourselves to obtain our level of activity up. Here are a few suggestions (that really show us how pathetic our average activity levels have grown to be).
Park in the far finish from the carpark and walk for your building Rather of shedding the children off while watching school, park a few roads before it and walk them all of those other way… 10,000 is really considered a minimal estimate for kids.
Go across the shopping center or supermarket inside a random. With today's super malls, this can be a big factor!
Go ahead and take stairs rather from the lift or escalator (well should you focus on the 50th floor, maybe climb midway to begin)
Provide the dog an additional a few minutes on his walk (we want it more than him)
Stop emailing colleagues within the same office, rather review and speak with them (shockingly effective thinking about just how much email we send every day!… ideal for team development too)
Take a stroll on your lunch time, walk to obtain your lunch in order to find somewhere to consume your lunch
Wake up and make a move, increase and lower the steps for instance during TV ads (no excuses here!)
Walk towards the corner shop rather of driving or popping in on the way home
Walk to buddies houses rather of driving
Take trains and buses and walk in the stop
Dr. David Bassett studied an Amish community to determine what things were really like previously. This option don't have any cars, no electricity and do hard hard physical work to place food up for grabs. Its like time visit yesteryear. They eat 3 large daily meals with a lot of meat, vegetables and natural starches like taters.
The 98 Amish adults Bassett surveyed used pedometers for any week. The boys averaged 18,000 steps each day. The ladies required typically 14,000 steps.
The boys spent about 10 hrs per week doing heavy work like plowing, shoeing horses, tossing hay bales, and digging. The ladies spent about 3.5 hrs per week at heavy chores. Men spent 55 hrs per week in moderate activity women reported 45 hrs per week of moderate chores like gardening and doing laundry. Wow that's lots of hard physical work. Obtain a pedometer (its only like 20 dollars) and find out the way you fare.
2. Fat Percentages and Weight problems
Level of activity leads us directly on up to now about weight problems. The frightening weight problems rate is among the most apparent alterations in fitness.
The weight problems rate one of the participants in study regarding the Amish population was 4 %, as based on bmi, or Body mass index. The present weight problems rate one of the urban populations is 30% or even more. OK the weight problems percentages really are a frightening factor because weight problems has already been within the "High risk of a lot bad methods to die" category. There's still the overweight category (clearly fat although not striking the medically obese range) to think about. This type of person at a bad risk already!
The entire percentages of overweight obese are actually wild… hitting near to 70% in certain metropolitan areas. Match it up towards the average within the 1980s. 10-15% weight problems in many metropolitan areas. It rose towards the mid 20% in 1995 and it is now at a record high.
3. Diet
OK associated with point no.2 is obviously diet. This really is another apparent alternation in fitness. Its quite simple really. We currently eat more refined foods (white-colored bread, sugar, grain, flour, noodles). In your body these give pretty very similar response – Fat cell function. The only real time we ought to eat these products is instantly after hard training. As possible tell from point no.1, very little associated with a training is happening. But plenty of eating is!
We consume less food fruits, vegetables and meats. We eat more snacks like chips and cookies (that are also refined despite what advertisers claim).
These alterations in fitness are created more troubling because even natural foods today aren't nearly as good for all of us because they was once. Current farming methods make mineral and vitamin content in vegetables and fruit drop about 10-40% with respect to the mineral. Corn given meats don't provide us with nearly as good an omega 6 to omega-3 ratio once we accustomed to receive from grass given and the opportunity creatures. (which means not too many healthy essential fatty acids for all of us)
Not to mention, we're also simply eating calories. The Amish individuals the research in point no.1 ate about 3600 calories/day for males and 2100 calories/day for ladies. Many sedentary people consume that much and much more! How? Well a completely "featured" flavored coffee from beans or Starbucks can equal to 500 calories immediately of caffeine folly.
That's 2 hrs of walking to have an average sized lady.
Keep in mind, calorie quality counts too. 2000 calories of vegetables, meat and healthy fats is infinitely much better than 2000 calories from fried potatoes. Its hard to obtain fat around the first, and extremely difficult to not get fat using the second.
I love this vehicle example. Should you have had a 2million dollar dream vehicle, can you put poor quality or high quality gas in it? High quality obviously! Then so why do many people put poor quality filth to their physiques that are a lot more important compared to vehicle we drive?
4. Games children play
The typical child who matures within an urban atmosphere is really a motor-skill weakling. Like a hobby, I coach youth basketball. Within our talent scouting, I've kids perform a quite simple drill of dribbling out and in and around cones. There are plenty of kids who can't get it done and a few who I believe might fall lower if requested to operate round the cones with no ball! This really is as opposed to yesteryear where kids ran around, chased one another, performed physical games and sports of all types, in which the playground was the middle of fun for youthful kids. This insufficient activity not just causes a general change in fitness for that child in theOrher youth, but includes a profound lengthy term effect too.
Evidently this alternation in fitness is because of a mix of possible factors.
Parents who only consider academic success to become worth pursuing, who only provide a child recognition and praise once they prosper in academic subjects.
Instruction system who also values book understanding above other activities and removes sports and physical eduction classes to place more academic training in.
Poorly trained PE training that do not help a young child develop motor skills within the key early years Busy double-earnings families where fathers have a price to experience using their children (or don't care enough to… money is not everything dads)
The maddening video game addiction situation where virtual existence is much more important than real existence. In my opinion because of this , for the empty basketball courts within my neighbourhood. It was once that teams arranged to experience there. Now only people how old irrrve become (late 20s to 30s) play. No youthful kids what are the more.
But really, what exactly? The problem is when kids stink at sport and exercise, the well-known mental factor of "competence" comes is. To put it simply, generally, we all do what we should are great at. If our next-gen is poor at sport and exercise, they're even less inclined to inflict from it! Which coupled with products one to three, alllow for a deadly health crisis for a lot of countries. Weight problems costs the United kingdom 7.4 billion in national healthcare each year! When we don't help our children, measuring only likely to come to be a larger and larger burden for everyone.
5. Support
This can be a more subtle alternation in fitness. Individuals are communal creatures. We stick to things because there's a supportive community behind us. Even drug and alcoholism rehab centers recognise this. People need support. But social links are becoming less strong. With no, Friendster and MySpace links don't compensate for it.
Inside a more connected but less close world (I understand a lot of people who're only comfortable behind a pc screen and never before a genuine person) there's less support than previously (extended families, communal living, strong friendships inside a neighbourhood etc) and it is difficult to stick to a thing that requires dedication and sacrifice as an workout program. I am not really a sociologist but I do think there's grounds that exercise classes fare better when it comes to membership than individualized training. Many of them undoubtedly are not competitive with great individual coaching. However the social factor does are available in when sustaining a life-style change is involved.
6. Spare Time
This subtle alternation in fitness is fairly obvious. We simply tight on time that people "own". Bosses, social, family along with other commitments make spare time a really precious commodity also it adds difficulty that time is our only non renewable resource. Whenever we decide to exercise or spend some time cooking to help keep the kitchen connoisseur, we're rivaling movies, games, TV along with other things for spare time. We all know that exercise will work for us, however it not just needs to be great for us, it needs to be BETTER within our minds compared to latest episode of desperate housewives, or even the latest video game. This is the issue. We have to prioritize lengthy term health over temporary fun.
7. Training techniques
OK here's where we're succeeding. 3 decades ago the aerobic exercise craze required the civilized world by storm. It is not an excellent training method both when it comes to results, and when it comes to results per unit of your time. Include that that we've such minimal time for you to train, we can not manage to get trained in a sub-optimal way. We all know much more now. Fortunately for all of us, you will find good techniques that smart coaches use to enhance training efficiency and obtain RESULTS despite less training time. A few of these include properly designed strength training programs, interval training workouts and good assessment strategies to determine individual needs. For those who have an instructor like this working for you, you are able to reverse the time and steer clear of becoming among the continuously growing statistic of individuals who's health is headed within the wrong direction. Stay healthy and powerful and best of luck!
Fitness Nutrition and Health Careers in 2018
Within the age which we live there's an unparalleled concentrate on getting and remaining healthy. As more research suggests the result of fitness and diet on our health and wellness, the findings be hard to ignore. There's without doubt the food that people eat and also the exercise that people perform considerably impact our weight and our all around health and durability.
Whenever you take a look at fitness and diet and also the effects of ignoring their importance, it is easy to determine what size a job they play within our health. First of all, you should know how powerfully diet can impact us. Natural, whole-foods – for example vegetables, fruits, whole grain products, and lean proteins – give our physiques the vitamins that it must function effectively. We've energy whenever we eat well. So when we've energy we burn off fat. Eating correctly enables us to keep a proper weight and undue stress from our hearts additionally, it enables us to help keep our bloodstream pressure and levels of cholesterol within the healthy range. Most significantly, good diet keeps our physiques stocked with antioxidants that protect against a variety of illnesses including cancer.
But diet does do it yourself fitness and diet go hands in hands for achieving a healthy body.

But don't forget, fitness and diet perform best together. Implement a regular regime of exercise to your schedule including cardiovascular work, stretching, weight lifting, as well as yoga or Bikram yoga.
Whenever you truly understand the significance of fitness and diet inside your existence, you'll learn how crucial these changes in lifestyle are to be able to live a lengthy and healthy existence.

It shares similar properties with bluish shades of Cobalt Violet.
Manganese Violet has excellent permanence and lightfastness, and it is one of the most lightfast, balanced violets in watercolor form.

Inside man in failed £72m electronic heist jailed
Former HSBC clerk gets nine years
A former HSBC worker who tried to steal £72m ($141m) from the bank through an audacious electronic heist has been jailed for nine years.
Jagmeet Channa, of Church Road, Ilford, was sentenced to 90 months for conspiracy to defraud and nine years for money laundering at a sentencing at Southwark Crown Court on Monday, after earlier pleading guilty to a key role in the attempted multi-million pound computer scam. Both sentences will be served concurrently. A charge of fraud by abuse of position was allowed to rest on file.
The 25-year-old used stolen log-in credentials to transfer €90m euros from HSBC to accounts held with Barclays Bank in Manchester (€30m) and in Morocco (€60m). But the fraud was quickly spotted by HSBC workers in Malaysia after Channa left the account he raided with a huge negative balance.
Two of Channa's colleagues at the firm's headquarters at London's Canary Wharf were questioned over the use of their identities to make and approve the transactions. Both were quickly eliminated from inquiries. A review of CCTV footage and other inquiries led officers from the City of London Police's Economic Crime Department to arrest Channa in April.
Investigators reckon Channa was the inside man in one of the largest electronic frauds ever attempted. So far no other arrests have been made. Prompt action meant that the accounts were quickly frozen and money retrieved before crooks were able to access the accounts.
The BBC reports that in sentencing Channa at Southwark Crown Court, Judge Geoffrey Rivlin said: "This was no silly prank. This was a carefully planned and very serious attempt to transfer a fortune in money away, and it almost succeeded.
"Others were involved, perhaps several others, and in the absence of any explanation from you I must assume this was a planned and sophisticated criminal enterprise." ®

Sunday Sweets: More 80s
Sunday Sweets is my weekly NON-Wreck feature, the better to show how wrecky the Wrecks are. As always, if you know who made one of the uncredited cakes, please let me know!
It's been so much fun seeing what you guys turned up in your search for 80s Sweets. To narrow my selection down, I'm going to focus on things that haven't had a huge come-back recently, like Transformers and Indiana Jones. (Okay, so "huge" is relative. Boo Crystal Skull!) I'm also going to hold off on Super Mario for now, since he's got enough material out there to fill several posts on his own.
So let's kick things off down at Fraggle Rock, shall we?
Sarah A. found this insanely detailed Fraggle diorama by Kimberly Chapman. The upper left-hand corner even has Sprocket waiting beside the hole in the wall! I like that Kimberly made it so detailed without being too busy: any more and the cake would have looked chaotic, but this seems to strike the right balance.
Ah, but where are the Doozers, you ask? Not to fear; Amy R. found them!
These Doozers are sooo cute, but I'm afraid it took me a moment of squinting to figure out that's supposed to be a giant radish. (Sorry - it's been a while.) I'm curious what the Bleeding Heart Bakery used to make the lettering, too: is it too much to hope they're sugar rods?
Speaking of adorable characters, check out Rainbow Brite's sprite Twink:
Michelle M. found this cuddly bit of cakery by Dora of Cakes Garden. I had this doll when I was little, and I used to love Rainbow Brite's crinkly holographic outfit, too - remember that, girls?
Sorry, I'm veering off into extreme girliness again. Uh, here you go, guys:
Eh? A little Space Invaders action? Get a load of that pixelated perfection!
Erin C. found it over on Hello Naomi's Flickr stream.
Here's some more arcade awesomeness, and our fondant-free Sweet of the week:
I know it's "just" a sheet cake, but that piping is perfectly done and nicely detailed. Karon Z. found it here, but the baker isn't listed.
Moving along in the evolution of gaming, who among us didn't have one of these?
Ah, how I miss those painful square controllers jabbing into my palms. [wistful smile]
This was the groom's cake at Rachel G.'s wedding, by the way.
Ok, that's enough for this week. Tune in next Sunday for all 80s cartoons. It's gonna be, like, totally righteous, dude.
(Speaking of which, anyone have a classic GI Joe cake to send me? Or how about Thunder Cats? And I'm still waiting for something featuring the Snorks - c'mon, people, if you can't find one, make one! Is that too much to ask?)

The question should not be: Should the Jets move defenceman Dustin Byfuglien to forward?
The question should be: How can the Jets not afford to move to Byfuglien to forward?
If head coach Claude Noel is really serious about trying to cut down on the number of goals the Jets allow, then he will get Byfuglien out of the defensive zone and back to the position he once played for the Chicago Blackhawks.
Big No. 33 was wearing a forward jersey during Thursday's practice at MTS Centre, although there were enough extenuating circumstances that it was impossible to know if the Jets are actually considering keeping him there. Andrew Ladd and Blake Wheeler were absent with the flu, while Noel said Evander Kane was dealing with a "maintenance issue."
That meant the Jets had only 10 healthy forwards for the 90-minute session, so Byfuglien threw on a white jersey instead of the red ones the blue-liners were wearing.
"From what I was told, we were just short numbers and they were just like, 'You can go play forward today.' That's all I've been told so far," Byfuglien said. "Whatever's best for the team. Whatever I can do to help I'll do. It's not my decision."
Noel didn't shoot down the notion that Byfuglien will be lining up at one of the wing positions on Saturday night when the Jets host the Columbus Blue Jackets and attempt to end their four-game losing streak. He didn't say it would happen, either.
"Well, we're not sure what'll happen with Buf, but if he's in there for the game then we will be the ones who determined that will be the best thing for us to get us a win and get us on track," Noel said cryptically. "So we'll see (Friday). We were short today."
Is Byfuglien a better forward than defenceman? Probably not. The thinking goes the amount of skating involved up front makes Byfuglien and the forward position like oil and water.
Byfuglien, however, has been lost at sea in his own zone lately, and even though Noel has blamed everyone on the ice for turnovers and goals against, Byfuglien's teammates aren't the ones making ill-advised passes, having their pockets picked or losing track of their men.
There's no denying Byfuglien has a cannon of a shot, and he is actually tied for the team lead with 34 points. Then again, maybe he's piling up the points because he's not as focused on his defensive play as he should be.
When Byfuglien was a young player in Chicago, he turned the puck over once every 50 minutes or so. Since he got to Atlanta four seasons ago, he has given the puck away once every 26 minutes. Granted, he plays against better players these days, but his turnover ratio over the last two seasons is worse than it was during the first two with the Jets/Thrashers franchise.
Why is that number getting worse when it should be getting better?
Byfuglien is also sporting a minus-16 rating, which would be great if it was Saturday night at the Masters, but if it sticks it would be the worst mark of his career by far. He has plenty of time to turn it around, but his previous worst rating was minus-8 during his first season in Winnipeg.
Byfuglien is averaging nearly two more minutes of ice time per game than his previous career high, so maybe fatigue is a factor.
Add it all up, and it looks like a change is in order. His ice time would be reduced up front, and his big body would be an asset in front of the net. The Jets need as many dirty goals as they can get right now.
Defensively, Keaton Ellerby and Adam Pardy aren't any worse defensively than Byfuglien is right now, so there won't be a loss there. In fact, there might even be an improvement. If all six blue-liners are completely focused on keeping the puck out of their own net, doing their assignments and making the right pass to get out of the zone, good things will happen.
Moving Byfuglien up front is not the perfect situation, but at least it would be something.
And if there's a team that needs to try something — anything — right now, it's the Jets.

National Weather Service Says "Frankenstorm" Possible In Wake Of Hurricane Sandy
Miami, FL (WIBX) - Hurricane Sandy is churning waters and claiming lives in the Caribbean. But what is concerning extreme weather forecasters is the potential for "Frankenstorm," or what could happen in the storm's wake.
The hurricane is expected to be downgraded to Tropical Storm Sandy. Its remnants will meet and then interact with airflow from the north and west, creating what some are calling an almost perfect storm. The trouble is, no one really knows what to expect from the resulting wind mass.
Nothing but rain could fall or Central New York could face the most severe weather it has experienced in one hundred years.
Steve DiRienzo, emergency Warning Coordination Meteorologist with the National Weather Service says residents should not be alarmed but should simply be prepared as they would for any potential weather emergency.
In a discussion group posting on a National Weather Service website the storm is categorized as follows:
"A retrograding positive anomaly moving from Southern Greenland into Northern Quebec favors a quasi-stationary deep cyclone near the northeast, in this case Hurricane Sandy and its post-tropical remains. Otherwise...ridging is general expected out west...though flow across the Pacific is expected to send ample energy/heavy precipitation across the northwest. Guidance is in excellent agreement on the general flow pattern, though issues remain with Sandy's future course and strength."
When asked to translate that DiRienzo says they can never truly know where a storm is going to hit but the consensus is that Sandy will gradually lose its "tropical" characteristics since it will not be fed by storms and warm air, but will retain its intensity, fueled instead by a mass of cold air coming from the west and Canada. Sandy will no longer be an official "hurricane" or "tropical storm" but will transform into another system entirely.
Governor Andrew Cuomo has directed New York's Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services to monitor Sandy. He says that we learned from Hurricane Irene that improvements still need to be made in the state's emergency preparedness system.
MetroSource News provided this from Governor Cuomo:
Hurricane Sandy is said to be responsible so far for about two dozen deaths in the Caribbean.

Tracy Greenstein –FORBES Feb 20, 2016
You may have heard about Iceland's toppling economy back in 2008. As one of the hardest-hit countries at the time, Iceland's heavily criticized method to escape veritable economic demise actually did the trick.
Faced with the possibility of financial failure, Iceland had to think on its feet. Instead of bailing out banks USA-style, the country forgave mortgage debt for the population – and completely started over from square one.
A country with a small population of roughly 320,000 citizens, Iceland's entire banking structure "systemically failed" in the early days of the 2008 recession. Despite the fact that Iceland is still on the road to recovery, the country ranks high as a politically and economically stable nation. Their success over the last few years has been largely under-reported, and the story behind it is quite fascinating.
A Little Bit of Morality Goes A Long Way
Let's face it: Icelanders are tough. They are entirely isolated, living in frozen tundra, perpetually enduring less-than-optimal weather patterns. While they are surrounded by epic natural beauty, these people aren't spoiled; they're tenacious.
Instead of allowing the criminals responsible for bank fraud to run free as the years passed by, Iceland thought it might be wise to actually indict bankers who committed serious financial crimes that contributed to the collapse. By paying off loans for consumers, forgiving homeowner debt (up to 110% of the property value), and throwing the offenders in prison, Iceland was able to bounce back. Now, its economy is "recovered" and is growing faster than both the US and European economies.
When Iceland's President Olafur Ragnar Grimmson was asked whether or not other countries – Europe in particular – would succeed with Iceland's "let the banks fail" policy, he stated the following:
"Why are the banks considered to be the holy churches of the modern economy? Why are private banks not like airlines and telecommunication companies and allowed to go bankrupt if they have been run in an irresponsible way? The theory that you have to bail out banks is a theory that you allow bankers enjoy for their own profit, their success, and then let ordinary people bear their failure through taxes and austerity. People in enlightened democracies are not going to accept that in the long run."
Grimmson's "famous" reply to the controversial question, "What is the reason for Iceland's recovery?" is most remarkable.
"We were wise enough not to follow the traditional prevailing orthodoxies of the Western financial world in the last 30 years. We introduced currency controls, we let the banks fail, we provided support for the poor, and we didn't introduce austerity measures like you're seeing in Europe."
Picking Up the Pieces On the Road to Recovery
Of course, though, everything isn't all rosy. Many Icelanders have two or three jobs to sustain themselves and their families post-2008, and a sudden spike in taxes – an inevitable result of letting the banks fail – made the burden even harder to bear.
Though unemployment is down (it's less than 5% of the population), you could say that "Iceland is a victim of its own success." Very high standards of living and 60-70 hour work weeks create a bit of a pinch in the pockets. Difficult challenges lie ahead, but whichever way you look at it, Iceland did avert a seemingly incurable catastrophe. The point is that Iceland was criticized for allowing the banks to fail – and we now know that the disparaging remarks from scathing critics were too quick to judge.
Since 2008, Iceland has added jobs to its tourism and green energy sectors. In fact, according to the Icelandic Tourism Board, foreign visitors increased last year by 15.9% – and travel now accounts for 5.9% of GDP.
However unorthodox in its method, Iceland's "let it fail" policy resulted in jubilation. We can't seek perfection in the years after a global financial collapse, but we can acknowledge nations who persevered with integrity.

The image of organised crime rings running rampant across the Internet, creating legitimate-looking Web sites to lure cash from unsuspecting consumers, has many would-be customers scurrying back to the relative safety of the retail store environment.
The problem, compounded by the global financial crisis, leaves many legitimate online businesses struggling, none more so than the already volatile travel industry.
Perth-based online travel agent, Best Flights, tackled the problem by deploying VeriSign's Extended Validation Ssecure Socket Layer (EV SSL) Certificates security solution.
Best Flights receives 3.5 million hits every month and IT Manager, Matt Lynch, says customer confidence is paramount.
"We were faced with customers abandoning online bookings due to a lack of available information about our online security so we decided to revamp our travel booking website to include the strong security measures that VeriSign EV SSL Certificates offer," Lynch said.
The SSL protocol has been the standard way of securing Web transactions online, said VeriSign's sales director, Armando Dacal. But the industry has come together to define a new SSL standard to combat the persistent challenge from Internet phishers – EV SSL. The EV SSL certificates require businesses to complete a thorough documentation process and verify current business licensing and incorporation paperwork.
"Phishers are constantly evolving their techniques," he said. "We felt that not only was this security impact detrimental to consumers, it would impact the entire eco-system of trust on the Internet if it had gone unmanged."
Following a Web site revamp, Best Flights upgraded its Web site security to EV SSL and have continued supporting their customers' online commerce experience ever since.
"Since implementing VeriSign's EV SSL Certificates, our online sales have really taken off. We have experienced greater conversion rates, a reduced rate of booking abandonment and a noticeable drop in customer concerns relating to security issues," Lynch said.

easter dresses
After the first two attempts went awry, these are the successful ones. I'm pretty happy with them. I kept it simple because I was trying to make two dresses on the Friday before Easter. I used fabric from my stash, this luscious AMH Small Gathering cotton I've been hoarding and it was perfect. The showy floral fabric made special what might otherwise have been more of a workhouse tunic. I just love the delicious colors and that the dresses aren't matchy matchy, but similar.
I already had the fabrics I used for the bias binding in the stash too. Actually this whole project was taken from my stash, zippers and all. Didn't purchase a thing. Which works out great when you are starting a project on an already very busy weekend and your lower spine is staging a coup for control of your body. I think I may have a bulging disk or something. Ick. But I digress.
I used this old pattern of my mom's that I've used once before, Simplicity 7563. It's not the pinafore, it is the underdress without the puffed sleeves. I remembered that despite the 6x size marked on it, it is scaled pretty big. So it still fit my 7.5 year old with plenty of room to spare. I even had to take it in. Then I sized it waaaay down for the waifish 5.75 year old. You'd think she never eats, but oh she does. A lot. Frequently.
I figured out a trick to easily sew in a regular zipper that I'd never clued into before. I'll have to do that as another post, it would be much better to just photograph it than to try to explain it.
The dress in action. Sleeveless was just the thing for today, it was very warm. Oy, Georgia. Already too hot for me.
These last shots were taken at my in-law's, where we enjoyed a delicious southern meal with family and friends, and of course a lively egg hunt. We had a lovely day, I hope you all did too. Next up on the post list, The Easter Dresses That Weren't.

Life Stories
Preparation for a transplant is more than physical. It's also a mental and emotional process, and at the Transplant Institute we're committed to helping you through every phase.
Both donors and recipients experience conflicting feelings of fear and hope. Often, the best source of comfort comes from transplant survivors who have been there and know what you're going through.
Over the years, many of our grateful patients have shared their stories to provide hope to others. With their help, we developed Life Stories—a collection of inspiring words to encourage transplant patients and their families. We hope these stories will inspire you and provide you and your loved ones the information you need to make decisions about your treatment.
The book is available in the Transplant Clinic courtesy of the Methodist University Hospital Transplant Institute.

A lever-action carbine is as lithe under a scope as a sports car under a roof rack. On a double rifle, optics make no sense at all. While my aging eyes need glass for sharp aim, not all rifles need glass to be useful. Many animals are shot very close to the muzzle.
In Africa, firing at dangerous game farther than you can toss a stone is bad form. In typical whitetail cover, and probing the lodgepoles in elk country, you shouldn't need a scope.
Still, a low-power scope properly mounted is as fast as irons. Actually, it's faster, because reticle and target appear in the same focal plane.
Your eye sees both in sharp detail. And modest magnification helps when you must thread a bullet between branches. Up to 3x or even 4x, magnification won't slow a practiced shooter. Field of view shrinks as you boost power – but a rifle sight is not a picture window.
The first scopes for big game were tidy, though steel tubes made them relatively heavy. Hunting rifles in those days weighed 7 ½ to 8 ½ pounds without a scope, so the extra heft (12 to 18 ounces for a 4x or 6x steel sight) remained a modest proportion of finished weight.
Also, objective diameters of less than 40mm kept bulk to a minimum while permitting use of low rings.
Surely, there were big scopes back then, from Lyman's limousine-length Super TargetSpot to the enormous Unertl, with a recoil spring the diameter of a rolling pin. But these fine and costly sights made sense only on heavy-barreled rifles with thick walnut stocks – rifles for dusting distant woodchucks with the likes of the 2R Lovell and .219 Donaldson Wasp.
Besides jacking a rifle's center of gravity up from between your hands, a heavy, bulky scope in high rings pulls your cheek from the stock. Losing comb contact, you compromise rifle support and leave your head bobbing about in space.
The problem is especially acute when you affix a big scope to a rifle designed for iron-sight use. This arrangement turns the comb into a baton that swats your chops on recoil.
Stocks on early rifles fitted with iron sights suited scopes like the popular 2 1/2x Lyman Alaskan and 4x Noske, whose 7/8-inch tubes and straight front ends permitted very low mounting.
Such slender tubes have now gone the way of bias-ply tires, but 1-inch scopes with tube-diameter objectives have hung on. Some of these are fixed-power models, like the Weaver K2.5. Many are variables, commonly 1-4x or 1.5-5x, like the Leupold VX3 on my Montana .375. All have much better optics than their steel forebears.
