In order to better understand the people of Braddock and the needs of the town we made site visits in order to familiarize ourselves with the area, the people, the businesses, and the community environment. We conducted interviews with local startups, students, community center employees, librarians, and museum curators to try and understand the available resources and what the citizens were looking for.
Designing the Plan
As we became more familiar with the needs of Braddock we began to formulate the different categories that needed to be improved in order for more opportunities to arise for residents. We began to plan out the changes that would occur every decade both in Braddock and globally, based on future signals, in order for the intended goal to be reached by 2050.
In order to plan around the needs of different personality types, we created seven personas to better indicate how the intended changes would benefit different members of the community.
When we had a developing plan we brought potential solutions in the form of a card game to members of the community for feedback. We first set the stage by introducing what 2050 could be like and then allowed them to discuss, react, and choose the aspects of their community they were looking to improve or what they found most valuable.
Final Design
Through the the many iterations and feedback we received we were able to finalize our plan for Braddock. We wanted to address three larger categories (innovations, arts and learning, community) and then address specific components within those categories to indicate the new opportunities provided.

In case you missed this on Deco Drive or Idolator, things went haywire on the set of Rick Ross' recent video shoot for his upcoming single, "Here I Am," featuring Nelly. A tiger hired to add some menace or flair or whatever to the set apparently wasn't a fan of the boss, and bit his trainer in protest. Wild animals, especially big cats, aren't props -- and karma is a bitch. Here's the news clip from Deco Drive. -- Arielle Castillo

Following the world debut of the new 991-generation Porsche 911 GT3 at this year's Geneva Motor Show, the German sports car manufacturer has confirmed it is already working on a more hardcore GT3 RS variant.
Porsche's head of GT series production Andreas Preuninger told Car magazine that a new RS is usually launched "three-quarters of the year" after the GT3 and the 991-generation GT3 RS will be no exception.
In Porsche's calendar of new model launches, the new 911 GT3 RS follows the new 911 Turbo (expected in the next few months) and the new 918 Spyder supercar (set to debut at the 2013 Frankfurt motor show this autumn). According to Preuninger, the launch date for the new GT3 RS is in early 2014.
With the risk of upsetting Porsche's most hardcore fans, Preuninger said the new RS model will also use the dual-clutch PDK gearbox from the latest GT3, instead of a more traditional manual box like the previous model (pictured), as the PDK "offers more involvement than the manual option".However, the engineer admitted the transmission might be tuned for quicker shifts. The new RS model will also use electric steering, which he said is at least as good as the one on the GT3 RS 4.0.
As the new 911 GT3 will offer increased usability as a daily driver over the previous model, the RS version will have room to become more extreme than before. While the appearance will build on the 911's classic silhouette, the new RS will have an even bigger wing than the last 997-generation model, pushing the rear firmer to the ground. There could be aerodynamic tweaks on the front too.
Weight-saving measures will include aluminum doors and a titanium exhaust system, among others. As for the 3.8-liter flat-six engine, Preuninger hinted that the new GT3 RS might match the power of the former GT3 RS 4.0 model – that means at least 493bhp. For all these goodies, the price would exceed £120,000 (€139,900/$181,300 at today's exchange rates).

Raccoon on the Roof
Less than a foot outside the window of our appartment there is a tree that functions as a squirrel highway with two way traffic from and to the roof. Two days ago, a huge furry thing came climbing down. When I stuck my head out the window, the raccoon looked up at me, like "what 'r you lookin' at?". Yesterday we saw it again, climbing up.
This morning, when I got home from the dentist, I saw a pest control van parked in front of our building. I parked the car, and when I passed the storm drain I saw a small and unhappy raccoon sitting there. It didn't run, just sat there. I asked the guy from the pest control van if he was here because of the raccoon on our roof. He confirmed that, and added that he "had taken care of it". Helpful as always I pointed him to the little one sitting near the storm drain. He thanked me and said he would see to it.
To say that the scared face of that little furry creature has been haunting me since would be an exaggeration, but I did feel some unease. The pest control guy had just "take care of" its mother, and now I had betrayed it. I try to tell myself that it probably had no chance to survive without its mother and that at least it wouldn't painfully stave to death. Not real comforting for this vegetarian...

Reigning World Champion Jonathan Rea took his second victory of the weekend at Assen in mixed conditions, as riders were forced to go into the pits and change tyres as rain fell this morning.
The Kawasaki Racing team duo of Rea and Tom Sykes had a strong start off the line, as Sylvain Guintoli got an awful start off the line.
Riders were being very cautious on opening lap as damp conditions on intermediate tyres left, meaning there were very few risks were taken.
Despite the fast pace being set by riders it was difficult to judge who had a strong pace as the tyre change was inevitable, but it was the KRT riders leading the way ahead of Xavi Fores.
After his heartbreak yesterday, home hero Michael van der Mark was up into second position and began to hunt down Sykes in the lead on the fourth lap. Further down the field Milwaukee BMW's Josh Brookes was setting the fastest lap and moved up into sixth position.
It didn't take long for Brookes to fly up into the front and led the race on the fifth lap of 21 ahead of van der Mark on the Honda.
Seeming to settle into a strong pace and a comfortable order as the KRT riders began to slip down the order, which led to them entering the pits and changing their tyres before the half way point of the race. It was clear the tyre change was necessary as Sykes and Rea were soon setting the fastest laps down in 9th and 10th.
Despite keeping up the pace at the front, Brookes and Davies simultaneously entered the pits with ten laps remaining. However it was only one lap later that Brookes crashed out of the race, missing out on his best ever WSBK finish.
Normal order was quickly resumed as Rea and Sykes took the lead and never looked back, with Rea taking his second consecutive double win at the historic Dutch track.
van der Mark made up for his disappointing day on Saturday as he secured third position in front of his home fans with Lorenzo Savadori putting in a solid effort for fourth position.
Championship contender Davies rounded out the top five ahead of Nicky Hayden in sixth.

IFOR's branches in the Northern Hemisphere along with the International Secretariat have been experiencing summer over the past months. Even before summer, our team at the International Secretariat fell behind on providing updates to the news section of IFOR's website. Here are some important happenings within IFOR in the past several months that we've missed:
Cultural Academy of Peace Celebrates Pearl Jubilee
IFOR's Affiliate in Kerela, India celebrated the Pearl Jubilee. CAP's newsletter described:
"it is the Day we realized the impact of 30 years of our "commitment and service" to women and children especially those in crisis situation. The large number of Social activists, professionals, secular and religious groups, Government representatives and our network Partners, almost 500, was indeed quite heartening. Many people have commended that it was an indicator of the acceptance of Cultural Academy's mission."
The event was held in on April 9th Ashir Bhavan, Ernakulam. It was a remarkable day as they simultaneously observed NIRBHAYA DAY, in memory of the deceased victims, and survivors of Sexual abuse. Cultural Academy runs Nirbhaya Home, a project of Kerala Government. The Residents of this Home as well as Shanthi Bhavan took active part in the celebration.
The Cultural Academy also hosted a one day workshop on Gender Equity for Social Safety with Emphasis on Masculinity led by Dr. Suseela Mathew, an International Trainer on Gender and Conflict Management, on 30th July 2016 at Shantibhavan Auditorium, Ernakulam.
The Human Cost of the War on Drugs
April 19-21 there was a Special Session of the UN General Assembly on Drug Policy. The International Secretariat helped coordinate the involvement of FOR-USA and SERPAJ-AL.
FOR-USA participated in the Special Session in collaboration with the Samuel Dewitt Proctor Conference who had assembled an international collection of clergy to give voice the damage that the War on Drugs has caused on communities around the globe: religious leaders from the United States, El Salvador, Ukraine, Afghanistan, and the United Kingdom told of the horribly punitive and violent actions taken through the War on Drugs. SERPAJ-America Latina was represented by the presence of Carlos Martinez of SERPAJ-Chile.
Longing for Peace Campaign
FOR Peace Presence launches Longing For Peace Campaign: FOR Peace Presence represents the work of several members of the IFOR to protect communities and human rights defenders in Colombia. With the Peace Process negotiating an end to the armed conflict, there is a lot of work on a grassroots level that needs to be done to guarantee that implementation of the agreement and the continued physical and political space for communities and organizations to continue their essential work for peace as well as social, economic, cultural, and environmental justice.
In light of all this, FOR Peace Presence is organizing an interactive multimedia campaign titled Longing for Peace. The campaign is designed to coincide with the signing of the accords while highlighting the diverse voices and experiences of FORPP partners, members of Colombian civil society, and members of the international community as they share understandings of peace, hopes for a their country post-accord, and ongoing challenges to building lasting and meaningful peace. The campaign aims to broaden the physical and political space necessary for building peace and to recognize that peace is a process-oriented action, requiring ongoing and long-term participation at all levels.
IFOR's Beloved Communities Project Continues
Following the visit of Palestinian American lawyer and activist Ahmad Abuznaid, 20 May- 20 June, IFOR was pleased to welcome Dr. Gwendolyn Zoharah Simmons as it's 5th speaker for the Beloved Communities Project. Dr. Simmons is a veteran of the U.S. Civil Rights and Black Power Movements. She is a Sufi muslim and a professor of Islamic Studies. She spoke to a variety of communities in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Brussels, Berlin and Budapest about Islam, nonviolence, feminism, the U.S. Black Freedom Struggle and many other topics.
IFOR & UN Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA), Vienna
UNODA introduced a program called "Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Education Partnership". July 5-6th, the "Women Higher Education for Peace Vienna Forum" was held. It included a "job fair" for women mainly from the Global South, to be involved more deeply in disarmament affairs and also job opportunities. IFOR is one of 6 NGOs from the Vienna UN Committee on Peace who were partners of the whole program -we were invited to participate in both the Forum and the job fair. IFOR was represented by Therese Kirchner, board member of IFOR Austria and IFOR's representative to the UN in Vienna, Pete Haemmerle participated in a short video clip on the work of the NGO Committee on Peace (including IFOR) in Vienna.
Much more work for peace was done by IFOR members around the world in the past several months. We will not be able to report them all here but these were some of the highlights we thought it was important to share.

So, back in 2014 I worked on a recording project. Some of you may remember this project. I did nothing with it in 2015 – I had other pressing concerns last year. I am wanting to pick this project back up with a few guidelines. I would like to record a piece every 1-2 weeks and post. This is in addition to my 500 Albums (yes, there is another post coming later this week).
In order to work on this 2016 recording project, I would like a little input from you. What pieces/songs would you like to hear covered? Do you have a favorite song? Favorite artist? I'm planning on doing a variety of music. Some will be piano arrangements and some will be vocal. I'm trying to get back out of my comfort zone artistically and this is just the thing to get it done!
So, send me your requests. No deadline as this project will be ongoing!

Coalitions seek public comment extension for White House cyber security identity proposalPosted: July 20, 2010 in cyber security, internet, national ID, NSTIC, online
[As released from Anti-National ID Coalition]
The timeframe for public input on an online national identity system expired Monday with less than 1,000 comments on the National Strategy for Trusted Identity in Cyberspace or NSTIC. The White House sought public input during a 3 week timeframe on a high concept strategy to increase cyber security. The public comment was hosted online and moderated under the seal of the Department of Homeland Security.
NSTIC would create a new national identity "ecosystem" for online users in America. Since that time, coalitions are forming and organizing around the dispensation of public interest in the program in an effort to ask the White House and Congress for more time to evaluate the impact of the program.
"There's a lot to consider with this program. It's scope, cost and effects on the public are largely unknowns. We need more time to gauge the impact of how the program will affect privacy and identity," said Sheila Dean, an organizer for the anti-national ID coalition.
Privacy and identity coalitions, like the anti-national ID coalition, are working to increase dialogue. Each of their organizations will be a part of an open letter to the White House about the new proposal for an online identity system, requesting an additional 90 days to evaluate the program. Details about the technical structure and commercial contractors were difficult to pin down from a 36 page conceptual schematic issued under the DHS agency.
There was clear intent from the proposal to sell the adoption of the strategy to businesses and to encourage successive adoption by consumers. Little concrete or detailed information was available about costs, impacts to public safety, privacy and civil liberty and other ranges of concerns applied to public efficacy on the proposal's application.
With so many unknowns, more and more questions are turning up among advocates and legal professionals who won't be able to take a position on the national identity program without more information becoming available.
What is a national identification number?Posted: June 29, 2010 in cyber security, federal government, NIN, NSA, NSTIC, online, surveillance
BTC – What is a national identification number (NIN)? Why would it be useful or what purpose would it serve? Who gets a number? How would it affect public life?
Enumerated identity and its uses are typically to manage populaces en masse.
A national identification number or National Identity Card number is used by the governments of many countries as a means of tracking their citizens, permanent residents, and temporary residents for the purposes of work, taxation, government benefits, health care, and other governmentally-related functions. Sometimes, the number will appear on an identity card issued by a country.
The ways in which such a system is implemented is dependent on the country, but in most cases, a citizen is issued a number at birth or when they reach a legal age (typically the age of 18). Non-citizens are issued such numbers when they enter the country.
Many countries issued such numbers ostensibly for a singular purpose, but over time, they become a de facto national identification number. For example, the United States originally developed its Social Security Number system as a means of disbursing Social Security benefits. However, due to functionality creep, the number has become utilized for other purposes to the point where it is almost essential to have one in order to, among other things, open a bank account, obtain acredit card, or drive a car.
As technology advances there are always more systems to categorize persons based on wants, needs, likes, and dislikes. Information is useful for many objectives; but in the context of power it can be abused. Information (or intelligence) abuses may range from common blackmail to surveillance abuse. Information about an individual can be conveniently reduced to an enumerated identity. This gives data value and longevity because it may prove something about us. However, it may be private information or information we do not want known at large.
The White House is giving the American public roughly 3 weeks to examine the National Strategy for Trusted Identity in Cyberspace or NSTIC, an new system which would produce a number for every American online user. The American public bears the burden of what happens to their identity property online. For example, if you are checking on a malady from Bora Bora, Big Government Computers could feasibly track or capture that information and trace it back to you. Why would they even care?
Well… it's not personal at first. As we have discovered over the last several years, providing surveillance technology services is an enormous corporate industry between the public and private sectors. There is an economic incentive to track us. Businesses will pay for analysis of who you are and why you will or won't buy their stuff. Government intelligence agencies hire contractors who can get the same information for their purposes. Google has made a killing from selling search generated information which has the ability to identify any user straight down to their IP addresses.

On December 14, 1978, Yves discovered the cozy confines of an NHL penalty box. The visit does not show up in his career stats for he was serving a bench minor and not his own penalty. Two days later Yves scored his first NHL goal in a 7-2 loss to the Atlanta Flames. He evened the score 2-2 when he converted a Bernie Parent pass for a score against goaltender Dan Bouchard. Washington visited Philadelphia on December 21st for a game at the Spectrum. Preston was paired up with Blake Dunlop on one of the Flyer lines and the combination clicked against the Capitals. In the first period Preston scored to give the Flyers a 2-0 lead. The Caps crawled back to tie the score but Yves was there to restore the lead. His goal turned out to be the game winner as Philadelphia rolled on to a 5-2 victory. On the game Yves Preston finished with two goals and an assist.
Preston returned to the Mariners in January 1979. Upon his return he helped lead the team to the top spot in the AHL. Maine continued on to capture the Calder Cup with Yves supplying timely goals along the way. His overtime winner in Game 1 of the Finals against New Haven, and a hat trick in Game 2 were too much for the Nighthawks to overcome. Yves Preston had another call-up with the Flyers in the 1980-81 season, recording four goals and two assists in 19 games. Yves wound up his playing career in 1984 with Milwaukee, of the International Hockey League.

Day 44: "Martha Stewart's Dinner at Home"
February 13, 2011
With Valentines coming and all the hype of giving the perfect gift for men and women alike, I give what I give best…..a home cooked meal. Part of our Valentine's meal was these lovely truffles. I have been taught that chocolate is one of the 5 major food groups and should be included with every meal. In the food pyramid that we are taught in school of healthy meals I think it is located between fruits and vegetables. Nothing says fancy chocolate like a truffle. You can pay several dollars apiece for store-bought truffles. These I made with everything I had at home. I didn't need to buy a single ingredient.
This is two days in a row with cookbooks from Martha. I must be in the "M" section of the public library where I am finding these cookbooks. I like this cookbook much better than the one from yesterday. If you are wondering why it is for one simple reason….pictures. Glorious pictures for almost every recipe in the cookbook. I like seeing what I am supposed to be making. I really need to take a food styling class to figure out how they take all of those pictures. Although I will say that the picture that I took of the finished truffles looks pretty darn good. Let's pretend I am a food stylist for a minute and oh and ah over it.
The Ruling: I thought they were great, not too sweet. However you need to be a fan of dark chocolate. How many fans of dark chocolate do I have in my house……umm….that would be one. Next time I might use a milk chocolate and see what happens. For ease of preparation this got a gold star. It really did not take too long and the fact that my oldest son's girlfriend stirred them for me over the ice bath was a bonus. She may have been bored to death….but I sure appreciate it. You see, we make her work for her meals around here! (just kidding) I only rolled ours in the pistachios and did not bother with the cocoa powder and the peanut brittle. I also did not have brandy so I used an orange flavored liqueur that I had on hand.
Chocolate Truffles, page 258
- 2 ounces roasted, salted pistachios, chopped
- 2 tablespoons best-quality unsweetened Dutch process cocoa powder
- 2 ounces peanut brittle, finely chopped
- 5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, preferably 61% cacao, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon brandy
- Prepare an ice-water bath. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Place pistachios, cocoa powder, and brittle in separate bowls. Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl, Bring milk and butter just to a simmer in a saucepan; pour over chocolate, and whisk until smooth. Whisk in brandy.
- Set bowl in ice bath; whisk constantly, scraping sides of bowl, until mixture is thick enough to scoop with a spoon, about 5 minutes. Use a mini ice-cream scoop (or a teaspoon) to form mixture into balls, dropping them into a coating as you go; roll to cover.
- Transfer to prepared baking sheet and refrigerate until set, at least 10 minutes. (Truffles will keep up to 1 week in the refrigerator; store in a single layer in an airtight container.)

What is MSGLeads?
Up until now, the only way to generate email leads on Facebook has been to run a lead ad or send people off of Facebook to an opt-in page.
If you has been engaging with a prospect within the FB messenger (with or without a FB messenger software), not only does this break engagement which you work so hard for, but it makes you prospects jump through hoops to finally enter your email address (only which a small percentage actually do).
It kills every benefit of personal engagement, immediately.
Introducing MSGLeads.
MSGLeads is not a FB messenger software, but it does integrate with all third party messenger/bot software that you may own (they can use MSGLeads without FB messenger software too)!
MSGLeads bridges the gap between Facebook marketing and email marketing by allowing you to sync email leads to any email list, directly inside of Facebook.
Now, you can generate email leads on Facebook:
…without typing one line of code
…without sending their prospects outside of Facebook
…without their prospect ever having to enter their email address
…without having to export/import any lead manually
We integrate with all major auto-responders!
Imagine being able to generate Facebook messenger leads AND email leads at the exact same time, opening you up to truly diversified marketing.
Welcome to MSGLeads!

Vitamins are essential for proper growth and development throughout the life cycle. Folic acid, a water-soluble B vitamin, is especially important during adolescence. Folic acid helps the body maintain old cells and create new ones. This is especially important during periods of rapid cell division and growth. Folate, or vitamin B-9, occurs naturally in food, while folic acid is the synthetic form found in supplements and added to fortified foods. To support cell division and tissue synthesis during adolescence, it is important that teens plenty of folic acid every day.
Folic acid is a water-soluble vitamin, meaning that it dissolves in water. Any extra folic acid is not stored in the body but rather excreted in the urine. Therefore, teens need a continuous supply of folate in their diets. Folate is needed by the body to produce DNA and RNA, the basic building blocks of cells. Folic acid makes red blood cells, promotes tissue growth, prevents anemia, metabolizes homocysteine and helps maintain normal levels of amino acids. In conjunction with vitamin B-12 and vitamin C, folic acid helps the body break down, use and create new proteins.
Recommended Dietary Allowance
The Food and Nutrition Board at the Institute of Medicine have established recommended dietary allowances for folate. This indicates the average daily intake sufficient to meet nearly all healthy teen's folic acid needs. The recommendations for folate are expressed in dietary folate equivalents, developed to help account for the differences in absorption of naturally occurring folate and the more bioavailable folic acid. Male and female adolescents ages 14 to 18 require 400 mcg of folate per day.
Importance of Folic Acid for Teens
The teenage years are a time of rapid growth, development and maturation. Maintaining adequate folate levels as a teen is particularly important for many reasons. Folic acid may help adults reduce the risk of chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, anemia and cancer. Early stages of heart disease and anemia can begin early in life, even during adolescence. Therefore, it is important for teens to develop healthy eating habits that they will carry with them the rest of their lives. Although daily folic acid needs are the same for boys and girls, it is vital for girls to maintain healthy folate levels. As their bodies prepare for future motherhood, adolescent girls' bodies begin to change. Teen girls have special folate needs and should maintain adequate folate levels from folate-rich foods and a folic acid supplement.
Folate-Rich Foods
Leafy green vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, kale and asparagus; strawberries, citrus fruits and juices; lentils, dried peas and beans and liver are natural sources of folate. The Food and Drug Administration published regulations requiring the fortification of folic acid in certain foods. Foods with added folic acid include breads, cereals, flours, corn meal, pastas, rice and other grain products.
Getting Enough Folic Acid
Teens can boost their folic acid intake by consuming more folate rich foods or by taking a supplement. Folic acid is available as a single ingredient supplement, as part of a B-complex vitamin or in a multivitamin formula. Or, incorporate more folate-rich foods into your teen's diet each day. Try frozen orange juice pops, strawberry and citrus fruit kabobs, veggies and dip, healthy fruit smoothies, beans in a wrap or on a sandwich, and use high fiber cereal with nuts and dried fruit for a trail mix.

Digital Media Studio Project 2018
In this project we will investigate Theories and practices from urban data mining, mobile architecture, and level design's narrative articulation. This design challenge is a provocation for mobile architecture acknowledging mobility and migration in the contemporary urban settings. We will be working on developing a design system using behavioral data for siting living/habitation units in the city of Edinburgh. In this project we will investigate the concept of mobile living units through two stages: 1. Data analytics 2. Design
Locative Data- Data Citizenship
The current urban setting, dynamics and mobility can be defined within Autonomous Decentred Systems (ADS) strategy. The technology of smart phones and multi-layered social, political and cultural networks has made each citizen an active agent whose mobile activities are highly determined via virtual networks. In this project, in the first part of the semester we will be investigating locative social activities using APIs to mine data from social networks. We will create layers of maps indicating hidden footprints and represent the city through its active citizens.
Following the map layers from the social media networks, we will be mapping potential "gap-sites" in the city using camera gears such as the Google glass or GoPro in order to find leftover lands and spaces for siting the housing units. This part of the project is identified as mapping the realities or actual. The data mapped in this step, feed the next part of the project which is mapping the digitally designed habitation units.
The background of this research project can be followed through Metabolism movement in architecture. one of the well-known projects addressing human agencies and population growth is the Nagakin capsule tower by Kisho kurokawa completed in 1972. this project aimed to "reconnect" citizens with the built environment. It also represented the mobility and migration as well as city dynamics in a pod system habitation units.
Another well known source to mention is the Archigram; which revolutionizes spatial approach in the urban context by developing provocative concepts and stories. Cj Lim, One of the great architects in the paradigm of smart cities and architectural narratives says: "[…] cities are alive. They breathe, they grow, they spawn, they die and they dream."
One of the contemporary approaches to the notion of habitation can be found in architectural competitions such as evolo which theme is focused on technological advances, data, and innovative design for the 21st Century. They request for stories and advanced design proposals for urban settings.
The Narrative
In the second part of the semester we will design mood boards, story boards and narrative structures in which we deploy the data from the part 1 of the project and current reality of the city and we will use the data feed to introduce concepts and sites for mobilizing our living units. In other words, we will overlay another reality through game design on the actual imagery of the city. I believe game design is a very engaging approach for speculating on real world issues.

Meditation is an important component of self love, the use of sound immediately enhances our meditation and overcomes the challenges we face in accessing the healing benefits of meditation in today's dizzying world. This workshop begins with participants undergoing a guided sound meditation using therapy grade singing bowls. What follows is a multi-faceted learning experience using combination of exercises, discussion and instruction. Participants will gain an understanding of singing bowls and there unique tonal properties not only relating to enhanced mediation but also the healing effects of sound on the cells in the body. Three of our favorite teachings in this workshop include using sound; in the bath, on the feet as a form of massage and on a partner.

Wildara Expanded
Wildara Lithium Pegmatite and Gold Project
Boadicea Resources Ltd has expanded the exciting Wildara lithium pegmatite exploration project to 84km2 with the acquisition of an adjoining Exploration Licence. The acquired licence, E36/813, adjoins the existing project area to the north and was acquired under a simple sale and purchase agreement with a private holder.
The Wildara Project is located 30km southwest of Leinster in the northeastern goldfields district of Western Australia.
The project area has been targeted on the basis of highly anomalous lithium results from a Minerals Research Institute of Western Australia ("MRIWA") regional scale bore water geochemical sampling program. MRIWA is a WA government mineral research body that operates in parallel with the DMIRS.
The MRIWA survey comprised the sampling of 3,120 water bores across the northern Yilgarn Craton, twelve of which are located within the expanded project area. A total of 10 of the 12 bores returned elevated lithium results with the previously reported peak result of 1,140 micrograms of lithium per litre of water (ug/L) in the original licence being increased to a peak of 2,850ug/L with the acquisition of the new licence.
With the acquisition of the additional licence, the Company now holds both the highest (2,850ug/L) and 5th highest (1,140ug/L) lithium anomalous bores within the entire 3,120 sample dataset. These results are considered highly anomalous as only 8 bores within the entire survey returned lithium results above 680ug/L lithium.
The basis of the project is that the lithium anomalous bore water is possibly reflecting proximal lithium bearing pegmatites in the area. While no pegmatites have previously been reported within the project, the area has little to no outcrop due to shallow laterite and aeolian sand cover. Geophysics and minor historic gold and nickel exploration drilling confirms a favourable lithium pegmatite setting with mafic and ultramafic greenstones being intruded by at least two granitoid events.
Exploration activities have commenced with historic exploration data compilation underway and an initial site visit completed. This work has resulted in the location of diamond drill core for a number of historic nickel exploration holes drilled in the project area that reported intersecting "coarse granites". Relogging of this drill core to investigate possible pegmatites is currently planned. In addition, the gold potential of the project is being reviewed.

Other Kansas High School Sports
Royals' Kauffman, Paul Pierce, Larry Drew among Kansas Sports Hall of Fame inductees
The Kansas Sports Hall of Fame has announced 13 inductees as its 2018 class, and a couple catch the eye.
The late Ewing Kauffman, founder of the Kansas City Royals, and Paul Pierce, former University of Kansas and NBA basketball star, will be inducted along with 11 other former professional, collegiate and high school standouts who made their names in Kansas.
Here are the inductees, in alphabetical order:
David Allen
Liberty High School (Missouri), 1996; Kansas State University, 2001
At a university known for its special teams, Allen might be the most electrifying return man in Kansas State history.
Allen set 10 K-State records, including punt-return yards, attempts and touchdowns. He was a consensus All-American in 1998, just one of his three All-America selections. He led the nation in punt return yards and touchdowns and finished his career tied for the NCAA record in punt-return touchdowns. Allen went on to play for the San Francisco 49ers, Minnesota Vikings, Jacksonville Jaguars and St. Louis Rams in the NFL.
He was inducted into the K-State Ring of Honor in 2008.
Angela Buckner
Kapaun Mt. Carmel High School, 2000; Wichita State University, 2003
A Shockers legend, Buckner has been selected to her third hall of fame.
Buckner was a three-time All-Missouri Valley selection at Wichita State. She was the conference's Freshman of the Year in 2001 and set plenty of school records after. She finished her time at WSU as the career leader in rebounds and is the only player to finish with more than 1,300 points and 1,200 rebounds. She set the school and conference records with 67 double-doubles. After averaging a double-double for her career, she was named to the All-MVC Centennial Team.
Buckner was inducted into the Wichita Sports Hall of Fame in 2008 and the Shocker Athletics Hall of Fame in 2010.
Larry Drew
Wyandotte High School, 1976; University of Missouri, 1980
Drew is one of Kansas City's most accomplished basketball minds.
After winning a state championship at Wyandotte high in 1976, Drew led Missouri to the Big Eight Tournament title in 1978 and conference title in 1980. The Detroit Pistons drafted him with the No. 17 pick, and he spent 10 seasons in the NBA with the Pistons, Kansas City/Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Clippers and Lakers. He still wasn't done with the game after he retired playing. He was named a Lakers assistant in 1992 and has spent time with seven NBA franchises. He is now an assistant with the Eastern Conference champion Cleveland Cavaliers.
Drew was inducted to the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame in 1990 and the University of Missouri Hall of Fame in 1993.
Buff Farrow
Wichita Southeast High School, 1985; UCLA, 1989
Few have owned the tennis courts in Wichita like Farrow did.
Farrow was a two-time state champion at Southeast High School and earned a No. 2 spot in the national junior rankings and No. 11 in the world as a senior. After his time as a Buffalo, Farrow went to UCLA, where he was named a two-time team captain. He was a two-time All-Pac 12 and All-American selection. He was an NCAA singles semifinalist and doubles finalist in 1988. He turned professional and was ranked as high as No. 224 in the world.
Farrow was inducted into the Southeast Hall of Fame in 2012.
Jim Helmer
Lyons High School, 1967; Southwestern College, 1971
After graduating from Southwestern College, Helmer returned in 1978.
Helmer had spent six years at Winfield High School as the cross country coach and won two state championships with the Vikings. That success continued at Southwestern. There, he won 31 and 29 straight KCAC cross country and track titles, respectively. He coaches seven national champions, 101 All-Americans.
He earned the namesake of Helmer Family Track at Southwestern and was inducted into the college's hall of fame in 1991. Helmer was also inducted to the NAIA Hall of Fame in 2001.
Darryl Jones

In the publishing arena, royalties are a percentage of the price of a sold book. Larger publishers may pay advances on royalties if they expect the book to sell very well; royalties from the bigger publishers are between 5 and 10 percent of the retail price of the book. Other publishers, like Publishing Prep School, offer their authors royalties based on the books that are actually sold. If you decide to publish with Publishing Prep School, the Book Publishing Agreement will outline what royalties you'll receive (usually starting at 25 percent of net), when you'll receive those royalties, and quarterly reports of your books sold, returned and damaged.
What Clients are Saying
When I decided to self-publish my novel, Stories, I wanted a highly knowledgeable and experienced editor. Kira Henschel's expertise elevated my work from amateur to professional. Kira also guided me through book publishing in a warm and compassionate way, giving me the confidence I needed in a sometimes uncertain process.

Our bodies are made up of over 65% water as adults and upward of 80% water as children. Our next installment of a 30 Day Challenge come as a 30 Day iWater Challenge which gives us a great challenge cause it will not only challenges us to drink the actual water our body needs, but also keeps us focused on how vital H2O really is in our energy production.
Bodyweight To Drinking Chart:
Less than 140lbs you iWater 3 Liters (twelve 8 ounce glasses per day- 96oz)
141lbs- 180lbs you iWater 4 Liters (a full gallon of water per day- 128oz)
180lbs and up you iWater 5 Liters (a touch over a full gallon of water per day- 168oz)
During your workouts the water you drink is above and beyond the iWater Challenge amount. So look at it like this: you must drink your iWater outside of your workout time.
NOTE: Some reactions to drinking more water are spending more time in the bathroom until your body adapt(3-4 days is all it takes), if you get tickled you might wet your pants, greatly increased energy, detoxing, fat loss, fewer headaches, mental clarity, hormonal balancing, less to no mood swings, decreased hunger cravings, overall satisfied feeling of well-being.
Lastly, keep this in mind: It is ideal to drink fresh filtered water that is cold, but doesn't have to necessarily be iced unless you like it that way. Too cold of water is more difficult to drink. Hot water goes through the body too fast. In fact if the water is cold it will actually cause your body to burn a few calories during the time it takes to bring it to your body's temperature.
On Facebook I created a special event for the 30 Day iWater Challenge so that you can see everyone else who's participating as well as comment on the wall for encouraging support and funny comments alongside your experience. Here's the direct link: http://bit.ly/7WhkWE Enjoy your iWater 30 Days. :)

In this episode, I talk about the following:
- What exactly Marketing can do for salespeople, the information Sales can ask for and how Marketing can directly support Sales in prospecting.
- An overview of what Marketing is doing that Sales is simply just not aware of. (HINT: It involves helping close more deals.)
Hope you enjoy and share the episode!

Property Clause
From Conservapedia
The Property Clause of the U.S. Constitution states that "Congress shall have Power to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States ...." (Article IV, Section 3, Clause 2).
The U.S. government owns 30% of the land within its territory, and a far higher percentage in western states. In Nevada, the U.S. government owns over 80% of the land.[1]

Press dinner at Mint
*NOTE: This restaurant has since closed.*
- Restaurant Mint
- Cuisine regional Indian
- Location 150 E. 50th Street (between Lexington & 3rd Avenues), Manhattan
- Phone 212-644-8888
- Directions Hopstop
- Atmosphere spacious, sophisticated, tastefully colorful
- Attire smart casual
- Ideal for small to medium-sized group dining, 1x1, happy hour, business lunches/dinners, private events
- Price moderate
Indian cuisine is definitely one of my "top 5 favorites." I mean, what's not to love? Each meal is centered around delicious breads and white rice. And, for those of you who have been on this site for a while now, you are well aware of what a raging carb-o-holic I am. So, you can imagine my elation when I was invited to attend a press dinner at Mint, a "regional Indian" in Midtown East.
I arrived at Mint just shy of our 7pm reservation. Susan, the PR representative, and a gentleman from another media outlet were already seated at the bar - sipping on a glass of wine - awaiting my and the other three diner's arrivals.
After I received my glass of Sancerre, we were led from the bar to our table in the dining room.
In staying true to its name, the restaurant's interior space is accented with soft mint hues in the form of mood lighting, plus leather and fabric-upholstered banquettes and chairs. Mahogany tables are illuminated by twinkling votive candles and overhead drum lamps wrapped in red, orange, and fuchsia-colored silk.
After the remaining three guests arrived and our party was complete, Susan introduced us to one another and explained that we would be dining "family style."
Appetizer course
Vegetable Samosa These crispy, golden turnovers - nearly bursting at the seam with smashed potatoes and peas - looked much sexier than they tasted. While there was nothing fundamentally wrong with them, I found the fluffy potato interior to be under-seasoned. Luckily, the samosa was accompanied by a duo of dipping sauces that cured its flavor-blues: Sweet tamarind and coriander.
Chilly Fish Strips of battered sea bass, plus fresh onions and bell peppers, came tossed in a spicy, red sweet and sour-type of sauce. Style-wise, imagine a fiery version of American Chinese-style sweet and sour chicken. This dish was a hit with the entire table, as the sea bass was incredibly fresh and flaky. The sauce, while spicy, did not overwhelm.
Bombay Masala Pao While the menu describes this as "A special blend of tomato, herbs and spices served on bread," the best way for me to explain this dish would simply be, "an Indian twist on pizza, sans cheese." I'm not sure of the type of bread used as the foundation, but it was incredibly soft and light. Almost to the point where I wondered how the dense tomato topping did not seep through. It certainly was unique, flavorful, and delicious.
Chicken Malai Kabab Of every dish that we sampled over the course of the evening, this was probably my favorite. Which says a lot, since I rarely order or even eat chicken! Chunks of white breast meat - having marinated for hours in a mixture of yogurt (this promotes tenderness) and spices - were grilled to perfection and paired with a simple side salad and lemon wedge.
Aloo Methi Tikki This dish embodies why I love Indian food so much. Flavor, flavor, and more flavor! Served atop a bed of Channa Masala (chickpeas cooked in a tomato and onion sauce) were, what I would describe as, "Indian hushpuppies," that were made from potato and fenugreek. I loved how the "hushpuppies" paired, both in flavor and texture, with the Channa Masala.
Dinner Course
Fish Tikka Masala This dish was another personal and table favorite. Small filets of fresh, white seabass were basted with a fenugreek-flavored tomato sauce and grilled in the tandoori oven. Having previously only sampled "Chicken Tikka Masala," I found this version to be brilliant and much more preferable.
Chicken Tikka Masala Cooked in the same fenugreek-flavored tomato sauce as the Fish Tikka, the difference with this particular preparation was that the chunks of tandoori chicken were served *in* the gravy, as opposed to being basted - then grilled - with it (the sauce). And, frankly, I felt like the chicken got lost in all of the sauce. Plus, the meat was a bit tough, which I chalked up to the fact that it continued to cook in the warm, bland sauce.
Saag Paneer, Dal Makhni While I found the paneer in the saag to be rubbery and flavorless, I fell in love with the Dal Makni. Black lentils, simmered overnight with onion and garlic (among many other ingredients), were finished with butter and cream. The result? A soupy-like slurry, if you will.
Naan It would be hard to mess up homemade naan, at least in my eyes. This fluffy, moist, and warm, pillowy flatbread proved the perfect measure of scooping up extra sauce and/or making "burritos" out of the proteins from our entrees.
- Basmati rice also accompanied our entree courses.
- I am missing a picture of the lamb dish that we were served but, like the Chicken Tikka Masala, I found the meat to be overcooked by the warm gravy in which it was served.
Dessert course
Gulab Jamun Fried dough, made from milk solids + flour, arrived swimming in a fragrant syrup of sugar, rosewater, and cardamom. This particular version was served warm, which I really enjoyed, as many have been chilled.
There has rarely been an order of Gulab Jamun that I did not thoroughly enjoy. Hello! Sugar + fried dough? Come on, y'all, I am from the South after all...
Overall, I found my experience at Mint to be very enjoyable. While there were a couple of "misses," the majority of my meal contained "hits." I would make a special return trip for the Fish Tikka Masala and the Chicken Malai Kabab.
So, if you find yourself in Midtown East - with a hankering for Indian - then I would absolutely recommend giving Mint a whirl.
Until we eat again,
The Lunch Belle
