How much food do you think you can put away in a single sitting? I mean, how much really?
Plenty of us like to salivate over insanely stacked burgers or plates of ribs, but how about biting down into a hot dog in front of thousands of cheering fans, as your food-stuffed face is beamed into millions of homes around the world whilst a team of judges set a timer and monitor your every mouthful?
That's a lot to swallow.
Major League Eating thrives on exactly that. The world body oversees all professional eating contests and has developed it from a county fair attraction into a seriously competitive circuit of 50 Major League Eaters, big prize money and even sponsorship deals.
It's still a bizarre world though, similar in some ways to professional wrestling (think big gold belts, trash talk and competitors with nicknames like 'The Black Widow', 'Badlands' and 'Megabyte') but with an obsession with statistics that's more akin to athletics (on June 10, 2011 Patrick Bertoletti devoured 5.25lbs of Baby Back Ribs in eight minutes).
We spoke to four MLE ranked competitors; Matthew 'Megatoad' Stonie (enfant terrible and current no. 1 ranked competitor), Tim 'Eater X' Janus (committed face painter, Nigiri Sushi record holder and current no.4), Miki Sudo (highest ranked woman competitor and no.3 overall) and Michelle 'Cardboard Shell' Lesco (no.8 overall and Ribmania champion at Ribfest 2015) about how they got started, what drives them on and what makes Nathan's Hot Dog Contest the 'granddaddy of them all'.
How did you end up being a competitive eater?
Matthew 'The Megatoad' Stonie: "A fluke really. A few years back I decided to sign myself up for a local Lobster Roll Eating Contest awarding $1,000 in cash to the winners. Went in not expecting to win, came out on top. At the time I was in College working a $7/hr summer job – so winning $1,000 in 10 minutes for eating free Lobster Rolls was pretty cool."
Tim 'Eater X' Janus: "Eleven years ago, I was a day trader, but I wasn't a very good one. I was broke, and I needed a vacation, but I couldn't afford one. I heard about a contest near my apartment, and I thought, 'Okay. This one day will be my vacation'. So I took the day off work, and I had a lot of fun, and I did okay, and I saw ways in which I could improve if I gave myself another chance. So I went to another contest and then another, constantly learning about myself and improving little by little. That one day really snowballed."
What's been your biggest career high point to date?
Stonie: "This year, 2015, has been a really good year for me. Nine MLE contests so far and six new world records. I'm undefeated, and moved up in the ranks to claim the #1 spot. The highlight though has to be a couple of months ago when I won the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, upsetting and ending Joey Chestnut's eight-year dominance of the event. It's our sport's biggest stage, it's the hardest contest of the year to win, so it was pretty big."
Michelle 'Cardboard Shell' Lesco: "The definite highlight was the opportunity to come out to Northern Ireland to compete in the Hillsborough International Oyster Eating Contest. To have the chance to compete internationally (in such a lovely country, I might add) was truly amazing. Unfortunately, King Colin retained his crown for another year, but he's a top-notch man who is truly good at what he does!"
Miki Sudo: "I'm most proud of the friendships I've made on the circuit. I could reference competition stats (first ever ranked in the top 10 at first ranking, top female, #4 in the world), but who cares? You can research that stuff online. What you can't Google are the greatest friendships in the world that I have thanks to competitive eating."

Do competitive eaters hit 'the wall' – like marathon runners?
Janus: "Of course. But it's a different kind of wall. Ours isn't a wall of fatigue and muscle cramps. It's a wall of fullness and disgust. But we have to keep going, just like runners do, even when we wish we could stop. The resolve that we possess is how we're similar to distance runners. Also we both wear sneakers to work."
Sudo: "You hit the wall, and then you grab a hammer and break it down."
What is your toughest event and why?
Janus: "Nathan's is the toughest contest. It takes the most discipline. It's the focus of months of thought. Speed is critical, but so is capacity. Everybody struggles with hot dogs when they first start competing. Some people never figure it out. I've figured it out, and I love it, but it still requires a great effort."
Lesco: "Many are difficult in different ways. Some contests make you quite full, and others are all about speed, technique, and hand dexterity. I guess I'm going to choose the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, since it has been the most difficult to reach levels of self-improvement, despite true efforts."
Sudo: "I'm built for this. There are no tough events – with that said, the hardest event to date was 'Chili in DC' – I ate close to two gallons in four and half minutes, and I had to stop (it was a six-minute contest). I was so full, I couldn't keep going."
What advice would you give to someone looking to go pro?
Janus: "Sign up for a contest. Choose your event carefully. Be safe. And make it whatever you want it to be. If it's just for fun, have fun. If you really want to push yourself, push yourself. And try to make some memories. Look around. Talk to people. Slow things down. If it's a blur now, it'll be even blurrier later."
Lesco: "Maybe start out with a local challenge – and find a friend with medical training who can help if anything goes wrong! If you have a specific goal, you will be able to determine if you have what it takes to push through the pain and continue, as you must do in most sports."
How do you psych yourself up for a big competition?
Stonie: "I think about why I want to win, who I want to win it for, and who I don't want to let down. A lot of times I try to imagine all my friends, family, and fans cheering for me and that it's my job to not let them down."
Janus: "I've tried all kinds of approaches, but I'm not really the kind of guy who feeds off of adrenaline. I feed off of thought and focus, so I like to go off on my own and spend the time before the contest reminding myself why I'm there and what I want to do."
What's the biggest challenge of being a professional eater?
Stonie: "I'd say staying in shape is a pretty difficult task. I mean, the training that goes into it and the competitions are definitely harder and more intense, but that just comes with the package."
Lesco: "Finding time to truly be prepared despite a having a 'day job'. Often, I'd like to have more time to prepare and train, but can't do so because of long work hours. I hate going into competitions under-prepared."
How does it feel to get one of the 'big gold belts'?
Janus: "Every trophy collection is better when a belt is a part of it, but overall I prefer a nice, shiny cup with a solid base. You get a cup, you put things in it. I keep packs of gum in one of mine. A few big cups can look good around the house. Too many, though, and you look like you're full of yourself."
Sudo: "Awesome. Winning is cool, but winning with bling is cooler!"
What's the marquee event of the MLE calendar and what makes it so good?
Stonie: "Nathans Hot Dog Contest is, hands down, the biggest event of the year. A huge live and televised audience, the biggest line-up of competitors, the longest standing history and prestige, it's huge. Digressing, there are many other large events on the circuit as well, such as the Hooters World Wing Eating Championship, Day-Lee Foods Gyoza Eating Championship, Smoke's Poutine Poutine Eating Championship, the World Twinkie Eating Championship, just to name a few, but Nathan's remains bar none for now."
Janus: Without a doubt it's Nathan's, and anyone who tells you otherwise is either lying or stinks at eating hot dogs"
Lesco: "The Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest is the most renowned event in the Major League Eating Calendar Year. We eat before a crowd of about 35,000 people, all crammed into the corner of Surf and Stillwell at Coney Island on the 4th of July. And it is shown to millions of viewers via ESPN telecast (including presidents). Nathan's is a gathering of the top competitors – about 12 men and 12 women, who have all been preparing for the contest for months. For competitors, it's a day that will end in heartbreak or glory. You just can't beat Coney Island on the 4th of July. It has become a true American tradition for Independence Day"
Is it really possible to make a living from competitive eating?
Stonie: "Competitive Eating is no football or basketball. No million dollar checks, no Nike deals yet, and we still fly coach, but what we do is sports entertainment and when people come out to watch our events they have an amazing time.
"I'd say in any given year, the Top Competitors can pull in over six figures through prize purses and whatnot. So yes, if you're competing regularly, making appearances, and working hard to win the higher prize payouts you can do well for yourself. I'm doing it right now, a few have before me, so it's very possible."
Lesco: "It absolutely is. For champions like Joey Chestnut and Matt Stonie, it amounts to a six-figure income after prize money, appearance incentives, and sponsorships. The top eaters essentially become brand ambassadors – the faces of the foods they eat. With that level of advertisement comes some compensation. For me, it's not as lucrative, but it serves as a supplementary income that adds to my meagre teacher wages and allows me to see the world"

For the first time, a comprehensive solo exhibition has been dedicated to the work of Cornelis Bega (1631/32-1664). Bega, a distinguished Haarlem painter, mostly depicted rural genre scenes; he was highly praised as "one of the best of his time". On display are a representative selection of around 40 paintings, 20 drawings and several etchings, especially from the artists' final years, during which he attained an inspired painterly elegance and a strong sophistication in colour.
All the subjects of this most versatile and virtuosic of painters are represented: peasants in disreputable drinking dens or sensual couples playing music, as well as scenes of modest family life or obscure scientists at work in their laboratories. Various themes and motifs in the paintings are complemented by Bega's masterful drawings.
An exhibition from the Gemäldegalerie in cooperation with the Suermondt Ludwig Museum in Aachen.

Herb Seeds
Lomatium Seeds
Lomatium Seeds
Ethically wild-harvested Lomatium (Lomatium nudicaule) seeds for organic growing.
All seed varieties are grown at our farm, Fireweed, or gathered sustainably from the near by wilds. We gather, process, and package every seed variety we carry ourselves with love and care in small batches. We never purchase seeds from outside sources to resell to you. All of our varieties are open-pollinated, grown without the use of chemicals, hybrid-free and GMO-free.
1 pkg (approx 30-50 seeds)
Common Names
Lomatium, Wild Celery, Indian Celery, Indian Consumption Plant, Barestem Desert Parsley, Barestem Biscuitroot.
Botanical Name
Lomatium nudicaule
Plant Family
Umbellifereae (Carrot Family)
Native Range
Western Canada and US
Life Cycle
Hardiness Zone
The plants sprout up lovely slightly blue-green tinged leaves in the spring growing to 6-8" high. Tiny yellow flowers begin to open in cluster atop a sturdy umbel stem in May. The plants slowly transform in the summer months as the umbel rises upward like an open hand in offering. Through the month of June the tiny seeds, light green often tinged with maroon, swell to over a centimetre long and half as plump.
As with many other native plants, such as camas or nettle, the garden tended version can be quite remarkable in stature compared to the wild version. In the garden it is a delight to see the majestic umbels reaching upward to nearly 3ft tall.
Full sun. Prefers well-drained sandy soil.
Seeds are best direct sown in fall or early spring, they may also be started in flats indoors in spring.
Lomatium adapts to growing conditons in the garden but needs well-drained soil. It is extremely drought tolerant. Plants will die-back in winter.
The seeds are the medicinal part, and they can be harvested anytime in July and August. I like to pick them when the are big and plump and still green for medicine making. For viable seed it is best to wait until they are completely ripe and dry, papery and brown in colour.
Culinary Uses
The leaves have a celery-like flavour and can be used to flavour cooking. The seeds also have a culinary application as a flavouring.
Medicinal Uses
Lomatium has a rich, deep, and culturally significant history on the Coast where has been used for medicine and ceremonial purposes for thousands of years. Lomatium seeds have been traditionally used on the Coast as a preventative for colds, flus, tuberculosis, and other bacterial and viral infections.
Medicinally they are powerfully antiviral, antibacterial, diaphoretic and diuretic. They act as an immune stimulant and help to fight off infection at the onset of illness and speed up recover time. They help you to eliminate toxins through the channels of sweating and urination. The seeds are a warming digestive bitter that can increase digestive fire and stimulate appetite. Taken before menstruation Lomatium can help relieve bloating and promote menstrual flow.
The seeds can be prepared into a tincture, tea, syrup, infused into honey, or simply chewed as needed.

Former CIA Director John Brennan said Tuesday he was concerned about the number of contacts between Americans "involved" with the Trump campaign and the Russians last year.Brennan's statements about the number of contacts between associates of the Trump campaign and the Russians again put details about the Trump campaign's contacts with the Kremlin into the spotlight as reports emerged that Trump had asked his national intelligence director and NSA chief to state publicly there was no evidence of collusion before investigations into the matter were complete.Brennan's testimony came the day after Trump's former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, invoked his constitutional right against self-incrimination in response to a subpoena from the Senate intelligence committee, which, like the House intelligence committee, is conducting an investigation into the Russian meddling and possible coordination with the Trump campaign.

As the country prepares to host the Olympic games it simultaneously battles with corruption, an issue which, a leading attorney in the Petrobras scandal characterizes as a "monster" in Brazil.
Monsters in Brazil
Wrong Way!
While Cuba's foreign minister of trade travels to the U.S. to enhance commercial relations, Venezuela's economy falls deeper into a crisis that seems to have no end.
Return to sender! We were here first! (not really)
"We were here first!" they say, pointing fingers and brimming with confidence. Is there any logic in this chanting and scapegoating?
Venezuela President "Gets a Facebook"
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro finally joined Facebook. It didn't go so well.
That's not how I imagined olympics fever
Together with the current economic recession, a hovering corruption scandal, a potential presidential impeachment and now the WHO declaration of a global emergency over the Zika virus, Brazil seems to be taking more than it can handle.
Excuse me ma'am, could you hold my spot in line?
At what point is a country considered in crisis? Is it when basic goods aren't available? Is it when citizens must choose between "having a life" or waiting endless hours in "colas" (lines) to go shopping for the little that's left?
"How do you plead Mr. Leopoldo Lopez: Democrat or Innocent?"
How does a trial for a political prisoner in Venezuela turnout? The fourteen year sentence issued to the popular Venezuelan opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez on September 10th, 2015, surely gives away that the outcome is not favorable. But forget the outcome, what about the process? Given Lopez's commitment to democracy, this question of "procedure" may be self explanatory…
Maduro: "China no le pone a nuestra patria una deuda pesada, es un financiamiento"
Is resource diplomacy the only diplomacy Maduro has left?
Actual Human Rights Recommendations Made at the UNHRC
Sometimes the statements at the UNHRC make the UN human rights body sound more like a comedy club than a serious forum dedicated to human life, security and dignity.
Deporting children to a beautiful country is really not so bad
It is a sad state of affairs when a U.S. Senator cannot differentiate between beachside resorts and the impoverished, dangerous situation in which many Hondurans live.

Why Spokenword?
Being a teenager in America is not always an easy predicament. At that time in our lives, our eyes and experiences are slowly opened to a world where the innocence and optimistic sense of fairness that we cherish from childhood seems to directly conflict with the harsh realities of the adult world we're being introduced to. The emotional discontent we experience at this stage in our lives upon encountering this incongruity between our childhood expectations and adult realizations often leads to rebellious behavior. Sometimes this rebellion is as mild as refusing to do chores or staying out late. Other times the resulting behavior can involve actions with significantly more dangerous consequences: criminal/gang activity, bullying, drug/alcohol dependencies, dropping out of school, sexual promiscuity, and more. While it's easy to label such individuals as social misfits, many people who act in this manner are merely seeking to express themselves and be accepted by a community as we all are—they are just choosing dangerous vehicles by which to do this.
Spoken Word is a vehicle that helps troubled youth and adults accomplish the objectives of expressing themselves and being accepted for it, but in a much more productive setting. It allows individuals the ability to both express and understand how they feel instead of merely acting out without a solid explanation of why. Furthermore, by providing a receptive and supportive audience that intently listens to individual performers' stories, these performers are provided with a community that wishes to understand and accept them for who they are—instead of merely dismissing their emotions and thoughts as naive "teenage plight." Spoken Word allows people to become comfortable with their emotions as well as the realities of the world they live in, overcome their issues, and eventually become productive members of their own communities (Go to our Testimonial page to hear how current and past members of Glassless Minds have used Spoken Word and the Glassless Minds community to overcome personal demons such as depression, drug/alcohol abuse, bullying, assault, etc) .

SRY (Sex-determining Region Y) is a sex-determining gene on the Y chromosome in the therians (placental mammals and marsupials).[1]
This intronless gene encodes a transcription factor that is a member of the high mobility group (HMG)-box family of DNA-binding proteins. This protein is the testis determining factor (TDF), also referred to as the SRY protein, which initiates male sex determination. Mutations in this gene give rise to XY females with gonadal dysgenesis (Swyer syndrome); translocation of part of the Y chromosome containing this gene to the X chromosome causes XX male syndrome.[2]
During gestation, the cells of the primordial gonad that lie along the urogenital ridge are in a bipotential state, meaning they possess the ability to become either male cells (Sertoli and Leydig cells) or female cells (follicle cells and Theca cells). SRY initiates testis differentiation by activating male-specific transcription factors that allow these bipotenital cells to differentiate and proliferate. SRY accomplishes this by upregulating SOX9, a transcription factor with a DNA-binding site very similar to SRY's. SOX9 in turn upregulates fibroblast growth factor 9 (Fgf9), which is necessary for proper Sertoli cell diferentiation. Fgf9 then feeds back and upregulates SOX9. SOX9 can also upregulate itself by binding to its own enhancer region. This is known as a feed-forward loop, where a gene product can feed back and increase its own expression. Once proper SOX9 levels are reached, the bipotential cells of the gonad begin to differentiate into Sertoli cells. Additionally, cells expressing SRY will continue to proliferate to form the primordial testis. While this contitutes the basic series of events, this brief review should be taken with caution since there are many more factors that influence sex differentation.
Since its discovery, the importance of the SRY gene in sex determination has been extensively documented:
One of the most controversial uses of this discovery was as a means for gender verification at the Olympic Games, under a system implemented by the International Olympic Committee in 1992. Athletes with a SRY gene were not permitted to participate as females, although all athletes in whom this was "detected" at the 1996 Summer Olympics were ruled false positives and were not disqualified. In the late 1990s, a number of relevant professional societies in United States called for elimination of gender verification, including the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American College of Physicians, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the Endocrine Society and the American Society of Human Genetics, stating that the method used was uncertain and ineffective.[4] The screening was eliminated as of the 2000 Summer Olympics.[4][5][6]
Individuals with XY genotype and functional SRY gene can have a female phenotype, where the underlying cause is androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS). SRY is essential for 'maleness', loss of SRY gene from Y chromosome means XY individuals that are normally male will have female characteristics (Swyer syndrome).
SRY has been linked to the fact that men are more likely than women to develop dopamine-related diseases such as schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease. SRY makes a protein that controls concentrations of dopamine, the neurotransmitter that carries signals from the brain that control movement and coordination.[7][8]
SRY arose from a gene duplication of the X chromosome bound gene SOX3, a member of the Sox family.[9] This duplication occurred after the split between monotremes and therians. Monotremes lack SRY and have a ZW-like sex determination system, likely involving DMRT1, whereas therians (marsupials and placental mammals) use the XY sex determination system.[10] SRY is a rapidly evolving gene.[11]
SRY has been shown to interact with Androgen receptor.[12]

The bus finally chugged into the parking lot of the school. Bernadine had decided that the bus was not nearly as much fun when you were sitting by yourself but it wasn't totally horrible. She never really looked out the window on the drive to school before because usually she was too busy being goofy with Ollie to notice anything. But today, she saw a little old lady walking her cat on a leash just like it was a dog. The cat had a pink collar and was walking very prim and proper which looked funny. She saw a big transfer truck that honked its horn really loud three times. She even thought she saw two black ravens sitting in a big tree in the woods right across from her house. It looked an awful lot like they were talking to each other and one of them looked right at her with its beady black eyes and Bernadine was sure it smiled at her. Her mom used to read her fairy tales about glossy black ravens that turned into handsome princes that kissed dead princesses with shiny yellow hair and pale skin to bring them back to life. But Bernadine loved the stories about the little girls with blue-black hair and ruby red lips that got lost in the woods and were able to talk to the animals who would help them find their way back out of the forest the best. But anyway, it couldn't have been a raven, she thought, as they picked up speed and pulled away from the bus stop…there are no ravens around here, only crows. And there are definitely no ravens that smile at you, except maybe in fairy tales, of course.
The mornings at school were always very busy. Everyone was pushing and shoving and running into each other up the stairs and down the hall even though the teachers would tell them to slow down! and don't run! and hurry up, you are going to be late! Bernadine put her backpack on her hook and changed into her indoor sneakers as quick as she could and hurried into room 3b. She slid into her seat just as the first bell rang. Some kids didn't care if they were in their seats when the first bell rang like you were supposed to be but Bernadine cared. She didn't like to not follow the rules. She didn't like to hear Miss Edwards say her name crossly. And she definitely did not ever want her name written up on the board under the big chalk sad face because not only did that mean she would miss recess but also, the other kids always teased you after and said "oooooooh, you're in tr-ou-ble!" and she knew that Charlotte, especially, would love to see her get in trouble. Charlotte did lots of stuff that should have gotten her into trouble but Charlotte would always find a way to get out of it. Mostly, she just blamed someone else. And everyone was too scared of her to tattle. Sally and Jessica would always back her up. "Yes, Miss Edwards, we saw Billy mark on that desk" even though they all knew that Billy did not have a pretty pink marker and, if he did, he would not draw a heart on Charlie Peterson's desk. But, somehow, Charlotte never, ever got in trouble.
"Good morning, room 3b" Bernadine looked up. That was not the familiar voice of Miss Edwards. Oh great, Bernadine thought, a substitute. Bernadine hated days when Miss Edwards was not there and they had to have a substitute teacher. For one thing, she didn't really like change very much, especially change that was also a surprise. She liked everything to be as she expected. She liked things to happen at the same time on the same days in the same order with the same people. This day was not going at all as she had expected. First no Ollie and now, no Miss Edwards. But, her mom would say, "Well, it can't get worse so it's gotta get better" so Bernadine took a deep breath, took out her pencil case and notebook and waited to start her silent writing which was how class started every morning.
The substitute teacher was a skinny looking woman with a sharp, pointed nose that looked a little like a beak. She wore gym pants with a bright pink stripe on the side and a zip up jacket which Bernadine thought made her look like a gym teacher not a teacher-teacher. Miss Edwards always wore dresses with tiny flowers and little buttons at the neck that she paired with soft sweaters in pale pink or yellow. She always smelled like the purple lilacs that Bernadine's mom loved to cut from the neighbor's lilac bushes since Bernadine's house didn't have any lilac bushes of their own. This substitute teacher looked like she would smell like gym socks and that stuff you put under your arms to stop the sweat from coming out. "Quiet now! Quiet! My name is Ms. Crabbe and I will be…" There was a sudden burst of giggles from around the room. Did she really say her name was Ms. Crab, Bernadine thought? Crab like a crab, like in the water, bites at your ankles, cranky as a crab kind of crab? That's weird.
The other kids must have thought so too because there were whispers of "crabbypatty crabapple crabby pants" and giggles and snorts of laughter going around the room like a little wave. This was part of the reason why Bernadine hated substitute teacher days because everyone, even the good kids, acted up a little. It was always a little noisier and a little more hectic and definitely more confusing. The new teacher would not know their names or where they were really supposed to sit or that right now, the class should be already writing in their journals silently. But this teacher didn't seem to know that and was trying to talk and make everyone else quiet at the same time.
"Ms. C-r-a-b-b-e", she wrote it out on the board as she said it out loud slowly. Billy Peters' hand shot up into the air.
"Yes, you there? Boy in the yellow shirt…what do you need?"
"Um…don't that spell Crabby. Cause, it's like, crab – BE. Crabby. Right?" He looked around very proud of himself. Some of the other boys giggled.
"Doesn't that" the teacher corrected him.
"Doesn't that what?" Billy was confused.
"Doesn't that spell Crabby?" the teacher said.
"Well…that's what I'm asking ya? Don't it spell crabby?"
At this point the teacher sighed very loudly and told them that her name was Ms. Crabbe that sounds like crabs that live in the sea and now can we just move on because we are wasting time.
Finally, thought Bernadine. Now maybe we can get back to normal and start doing our silent journaling. She took out her favorite pencil with the heart eraser and sat up straight, ready to work.
But the teacher, Ms Crabbe, had a different plan. A stupid plan, if you asked Bernadine. But she didn't ask Bernadine. Instead, she said that everyone should go put their shoes and jackets on because they were going outside. Outside! In the morning! And it's not even recess! AND they were supposed to be doing journaling…silent journaling…quiet silent all by yourself journaling…with your favorite pencil. And now instead, Bernadine was in a crowded hallway trying to find her other sneaker which was there just a little while ago but now seemed to have gone missing. She looked under backpacks and lunchboxes. The other kids were all pretty much ready to go but Bernadine was still hopping around on one foot trying to find her missing sneaker when Ms. Crabbe suddenly said "You! With the red hair! Stop playing around and wasting time. The whole class is waiting for you!"
Bernadine's face felt like it had just caught on fire, it was so hot. The teacher had yelled at her. Out loud. In front of everyone. For something that wasn't even her fault! She couldn't help it that she couldn't find her shoe. And now, her eyes were getting all full of tears and her nose was burning and she knew she was going to cry but she was trying really, really hard not to cry but she knew she was going to cry.
"Yes, Bernadine. Please hurry. You are making us all wait." Charlotte's know-it-all voice came from across the hall. That made Bernadine mad. She looked over at Charlotte and saw her sneaker on the floor right next to where Charlotte was standing. Charlotte smiled sweetly and then quietly kicked Bernadine's shoe across the hall and right into the boy's bathroom.
Bernadine did not know what to do. She obviously could not go in the boys bathroom! If only Ollie was here, he would have gone in and gotten her shoe for her. The crabby teacher was busy growling at another kid and didn't see what Charlotte had done and Bernadine knew that she should just tell the teacher where her shoe was but she had already been yelled at once and felt like her voice was stuck somewhere down in her belly and wouldn't come out.
Sally was standing next to Drew, the quietest boy in the class who liked to draw robots and dragons on all of his books. She whispered something to him...she wasn't worried the teacher would hear, but she was scared that Charlotte would hear. Drew didn't answer her but after a moment or two, he quietly walked into the boys bathroom and handed Bernadine her shoe when he came out. He didn't say a word but went back to his spot in the line.
Charlotte looked like she had just swallowed fire. Her face got red and her eyes were all squinted-up mad like. She stared at Bernadine from across the hall but Bernadine would not look at her, concentrating very hard instead on putting her shoe on.
"All right then, everyone is finally ready, let's go outside!" Ms Crabbe's shrill voice called out and room 3b trooped outside. Bernadine breathed a sigh of relief now that the attention was not focused on her anymore. But Charlotte was not done with Bernadine yet.

A giclée print is one produced by the giclée process. The high end of inkjet printing is the giclée print … . The name is derived from the French verb "gicler" meaning to squirt, or more accurately in this case, an extremely fine spray of many different sized droplets. This application of overlapping dots of ink mixes, forming additional color combinations. The application of the inks in this printing process is so fine that there are no discernible dots or droplets on the final print. — Steven Bleicher, Contemporary Color: Theory and Use, 2012. Giclées are produced from digital scans of existing artwork. — Marjorie Wertz, The Tribune-Review (Greensburg, Pennsylvania), 2 Oct. 2005
Maybe, and for good reason. Our printers are true giclée printers and use the highest quality pigment inks available today. Further, our print media, whether it's canvas, watercolor or photographic paper, is the highest quality available in our industry.

Printing images is a serious investment. Ounce per ounce, printer inks are more expensive than Dom Perignon, and the time and tools used to print require substantial commitments. To make prints of beautiful images without taking the steps necessary to print them so they will last as long as possible is unfathomable. Why would we do this? The few pennies or minutes saved by cutting corners are minuscule, and these compromises will come back to bite us. That's why we only utilize inks and media that are certified "Archival" and/or "Acid Free"

Maybe it's the fact that we're still awaiting the sunny days. Or the fact that I realised I never really did anything with those pictures and missed a trick. Well, it's both really.
Last year, I hit continental Spain for the first time and had a brilliant time in Barcelona. For this week's Throwback Thursday, here are a few shots from last summer's holiday.
Picture from Park Guell, the public park built by Catalan modernist Antonio Gaudi. It was built in the early 20th century, commissioned by the rich patron it's named after. It's full of amazing buildings, gardens as well as a museum dedicated to Gaudi. The park's actually a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Really surreal place, worth visiting.
The Nou Camp, home of FB Barcelona. The NC is Europe's biggest stadium (over 90k in capacity, bigger than Old Trafford and Wembley). The tour's great, and include a visit of the media areas, conference rooms and amazing museum, which is packed with Champions League trophies and individual awards.
Speaking of individual awards, here's me chilling with Messi's Ballon D'Ors. As you do.
One of many paellas – think I had 4 in 6 days in the end. One of my favourite dishes, and of course a local specialty. Bit of a hassle to make for one because you end up eating it for about 2 weeks straight, so it's great to have on holiday. Personal favourite is the Valenciana, the chicken flavoured one.
Just some weird Picasso styled clocks I saw in a tourist shop. Random.
Me and James, biting away like we're Liverpool's best player of the last 10 years.
Another one from Park Guell
Another amazing building we saw in the town centre. Not even sure what it is, but I liked the local architecture.
La Segrada Familia, Barcelona's famous unfinished Cathedral.
Finally, the traditional holiday selfie.

Impaired insulin response after oral but not intravenous glucose in heart- and liver-transplant recipients.
Journal Article
BACKGROUND: The prevalence of diabetes is high after transplantation. We hypothesized that liver transplantation induces additional alterations of glucose homeostasis because of liver denervation. METHODS: Nondiabetic patients with a heart (n=9) or liver (n=9) transplant and healthy subjects (n=8) were assessed using a two-step hyperglycemic clamp (7.5 and 10 mmol/L). Thereafter, an oral glucose load (0.65 g/kg fat free mass) was administered while glucose was clamped at 10 mmol/L. Glucose appearance from the gut was calculated as the difference between glucose appearance (6,6 2H2 glucose) and exogenous glucose infusion. Plasma insulin, glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 and gastric inhibitory polypeptide(GIP) concentrations were compared after intravenous and oral glucose. RESULTS: After oral glucose, the glucose appearance from the gut was increased 52% and 81% in liver- and heart-transplant recipients (P<0.05). First-pass splanchnic glucose uptake was reduced by 39% in liver-transplant and 64% in heart-transplant patients (P<0.05). After oral but not intravenous glucose, there was an impairment of insulin secretion in both transplant groups relative to the controls. Plasma concentrations of GIP and GLP-1 increased similarly in all three groups after oral glucose. CONCLUSIONS: First-pass hepatic glucose extraction is decreased after heart and liver transplant. Insulin secretion elicited by oral, but not intravenous glucose, is significantly reduced in both groups of patients. There was no difference between liver- and heart-transplant recipients, indicating that hepatic denervation was not involved. These data suggest an impairment in the beta-cell response to neural factors or incretin hormones secondary to immunosuppressive treatment.

My brew failed to start fermenting because the airlock didn't start bubbling, should I throw it out?
My brew's been down 4 weeks and still has the occasional bubble, has it finished fermenting?
Why is it when I open my beer and pour it into a glass I get all head and I've even had the odd bottle explode?
My beer seems to have plenty of fizz when poured into a glass but why does the head disappear very quickly?
Why does my beer have a strong yeasty flavour and a lot of sediment?
My beer is flat, should I throw it out?
I have made the same beer before and it tasted good. Why has this lot got a foul smell and a strange taste?

Delegates to the CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) conference in Qatar voted down three of four proposals to protect sharks. This really sucks.

Our prediction for this Europa League match:
Seeing that Chelsea and Eintracht Frankfurt played out a 1-1 draw at Commerzbank-Arena, an entertaining game is on the cards at Stamford Bridge. A place in the Europa League final is at stake, but the Blues are closer to making it to the title game. Over the years Maurizio Sarri's troops have turned their stadium into a real fortress and they are considered favourites to win Thursday's football game.
Eden Hazard started from the bench in the 1-1 draw with Eintracht, but he is likely to lead the line for the hosts in the second leg. Die Adler are enjoying a season to remember, but seeing that they were outplayed by Chelsea in the first leg, we predict that the Germans are going to return home empty-handed from the trip to London. A man to watch in the away team will be new Real Madrid signing Luka Jovic.
Highlighted Player (N Golo Kante):
Born in Paris in 1991, N'Golo Kante spent his early career playing for French minnows Boulogne and Caen, but he didn't need a lot of time to catch the eye of high-profile clubs. The holding midfielder was on the verge of joining Marseille in the summer of 2015 when Leicester City submitted a £5.6 million for his services and he eventually signed for the King Power Stadium outfit.
Destiny appears to have played a part in the move as Kante would go on to become one of leading Premier League footballers in an unbelievable season that ended with the Foxes winning the Premiership trophy. Having deservedly been nominated for the PFA Player of the Year award, Kante would also receive the first ever call-up for the national team in March 2016, and he impressed in his first two appearances, scoring a goal in the 4-2 triumph over Russia.
A combative midfielder with an amazing pair of lungs, Kante impressed Premier League fans and pundits alike, and he will probably go down as one of the best holding midfielders to have ever played for an English club.
Highlighted Team (Frankfurt):
Eintracht Frankfurt is a German football club who is active in the German Bundesliga. The club was founded in 1920 after a fusion between different football clubs from Frankfurt. Eintracht Frankfurt is playing in the Bundesliga since 2011/2012 and is known for being a stable club in the Bundesliga. Currently the club is playing their home games in the Commerzbank-Arena which holds a capacity of 51000 seats. The club colour of Eintracht Fankfurt are black, red and white. Eintracht Frankfurt is called the Adlertrager by their fans. The club's rival Kickers Offenbach.
Eintracht Frankfurt is one of the few clubs in Germany that won the Bundesliga; in the season 1958/1959 were able to win the league. Other important prizes Eintracht Frankfurt won are the DFB Pokal (4 times) and the the UEFA Cup in 1980. There are many famous football players that played for EIntracht Frankfurt in their career like Pfaff, Moller, Low, Okocha, Kopke and Berthold.

By Larry Magid | [email protected] | PUBLISHED: June 7, 2019 at 4:00 am | UPDATED: June 7, 2019 at 4:00 am This is a good time to start thinking about summer vacations. I'm sure you'll remember to pack your shorts and sunscreen, but don't forget about the tech you might need to make your trip a success. I also have a few non-tech suggestions. The first tech detour will be during the planning stage when you'll be using online travel services to plan your lodging and travel arrangements. If you're flying, check the big travel sites such as Expedia but also look at alternative sites, such as Kayak, which scan multiple sights for the best price. But, before you book your flight, check the airline's site as well. They often meet and sometimes beat the prices from third-party travel sites, and by booking from the airline directly, you may get other benefits. Another advantage to booking directly from the airline is that it might be easier to deal … [Read more...] about Magid: High and low tech advice for summer vacation

Minneapolis has cutting-edge 5G wireless network — barely, but it's here
Minneapolis is at the leading edge of cellphone technology for the first time. Barely. But it is. Just as tens of thousands of people were descending on Minneapolis for the Final Four last week, the city became one of the first places in the world to have a fifth-generation, or 5G, wireless network. Data travels four to 10 times faster on 5G than on the 4G networks that have been around about a decade. The network covers a portion of downtown — including U.S. Bank Stadium, site of the NCAA men's Final Four games — and part of the Mall of America. Hardly anyone in the basketball throngs knew it or used it, though. As with any big advance in communications networks, this one requires people to have new phones, few of which are available. But for months, wireless providers have scrambled to appear to be leaders in 5G, sometimes with sped-up offerings that technically were still 4G. This past week, a pitched PR battle unfolded between Verizon, the largest U.S. wireless … [Read more...] about Minneapolis has cutting-edge 5G wireless network — barely, but it's here
How to Prep for an International Trip
People ask us all the time for tricks and tips to traveling internationally. I figured it was about time to put all our recommendations into one comprehensive blog post. Read on for our guide to preparing for a trip abroad. What to Do Before You Leave Get all your spa appointments out of the way before you leave. This includes: spray tans, facials, manicures, haircuts, waxing, etc. I love feeling my best before any big trip, so this is the time to splurge on some you time. I recommend making a hair appointment a week before your trip, to get it out of the way. Get a facial two or 3 days before. I think this is the best timing because it's still close to when you leave, but not too close, i.e. a day before or the same day, so your skin isn't sensitive or recovering from the facial treatments on the long flight. I recently got an amazing facial at Skin Spa New York in the Back Bay right before my trip to Asia and my skin is glowy and photo ready (As … [Read more...] about How to Prep for an International Trip
Hackel seeks audit of Macomb prosecutor's spending
Mike Martindale The Detroit News Published 8:22 PM EST Jan 25, 2019 Mount Clemens — Several Macomb County leaders are questioning whether thousands of dollars in forfeiture funds collected by the county prosecutor's office were used for inappropriate expenditures, including donations to churches and charities, trips, parties and even the filming of a television commercial. Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel and Treasurer Larry Rocco are calling on the Macomb County Board of Commissioners to conduct a forensic audit of Prosecutor Eric Smith's forfeiture fund. That would require approval by eight of the 13 commissioners, who are expected to take up the matter at a Feb. 20 finance committee meeting. So far, there has been no response to that request, Hackel told The Detroit News on Friday. "I have not heard from the prosecutor nor one person on the board regarding my request," Hackel said.

Please join us for an evening of discussion and food. Come hear directly from a diverse panel of community organizers about their experiences and strategies, including Max Rameau, an organizer with the Miami-based "Take Back the Land", a grassroots group that, as a result of the crises of gentrification, housing and now foreclosures, has been liberating public and foreclosed land and homes since 2006.
The current crisis of capitalism has long been forming, but it is much broader than the current credit crunch, plunging stock and housing markets. This crisis is about our ability to buy food, to afford housing and transit, find work, and access welfare and disability support money. nd yet, in this country, as in many parts of the world, billions of dollars are earmarked for corporate bailouts, while people face a crisis of survival.
So-called 'stimulus packages' do not address the perpetual roll-back in our social gains - public education, affordable housing,health care, collective bargaining, a living wage, safe work conditions, a non-toxic, sustainable environment. In the City of Toronto, spending on social housing is dropping annually, subsidized daycare spots are set to be slashed, basic social services cut, and a majority of us do not and will not qualify for EI. Women and migrant workers' needs are not even on the table. But we didn't break the system – one that never worked for us in the first place. We should not be forced to pay for it
Only through bitter struggle have we won any measure of justice and dignity for our communities. The current financial crisis is and will continue to hit poor, marginalized, working, and racialized communities first and hardest. Make no mistake – the rich are scrambling to save themselves. Please join us to discuss an inspiring history and present examples of resistance, and ways we can come together to fight for what is ours, for what our families and neighbourhoods really deserve. Max Rameau is an organizer with the Miami-based 'Take Back the Land'.
As a result of the crises of gentrification, housing and now foreclosures, Take Back the Land has been liberating public and foreclosed land and homes since 2006. They believe that every community has the right tocontrol the land upon which people live, work, play, learn and worship. Take Back the Land is, therefore, asserting the right of the Black community to control the land in their community and use it for the benefit of their community, including, but not limited to, providing housing for their members in need. They urge every community to exercise the same right. Richard St. Pierre is a long-time Quebec activist and member of the Internationalist Workers Group. Cynthia Palmaria is an organizer with Migrante-Ontario, an alliance of Filipino migrants' organizations which is part of the Filipino people's movement for national liberation and democracy.
Migrante's mission is to continuously uphold and defend the rights and welfare of Filipino migrants and their families, both at home and abroad. Police violence, non-enforcement of employment standards, and restrictive visas are just some of the many weapons used against Filipino migrants that Migrante organizes to resist. John Clarke is an organizer with OCAP, a direct-action anti-poverty organization that mounts campaigns against regressive government policies as they affect poor and working people. OCAP provides direct-action advocacy for individuals against eviction and termination of welfare benefits, and believes in the power of people to organize themselves.

Meghan Markle birthday: How will she spend her birthday? Will she see Kate Middleton?
MEGHAN MARKLE is celebrating her 38th birthday today. The Duchess might choose to spend the day with family, but will she see Kate Middleton?
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is marking her 38th birthday today. Until recently, she has been on maternity leave and it is likely she will be around her husband, Prince Harry, 34, and son, Archie Harrison, two months, today. Kate Middleton and Prince William, both 37, have uploaded a birthday message for their sister-in-law in a post online. The post on Instagram said: "Wishing a very happy birthday to The Duchess of Sussex today!"
She's so in love with being a mum, her mind's on her baby boy, not her birthday.
They accompanied the message with a picture of them with Meghan Markle, Prince Harry and Prince Charles, 70, which was taken on Christmas Day 2018 as the family attended church.
Meghan is celebrating her first birthday as a mum and may want to spend the day with family, so will Kate Middleton and Prince William be invited to celebrations?
Meghan and Harry have stayed quiet about their official birthday plans in the past and don't usually confirm what they are doing.
However, one source said her birthday celebrations are likely to be a low-key affair.
They said: "Meghan's world is pretty much just Archie. She's so in love with being a mum, her mind's on her baby boy, not her birthday."
Meghan Markle news: The Duchess is likely to spend her birthday celebrating with family
They explained the Duchess of Sussex had always preferred to spend her birthdays quietly instead of having large celebrations.
The source said: "She prefers to use her day more introspectively. She'd much rather have a low-key dinner with her loved ones over a big blowout party."
It has also been claimed she will mark the day by spending it at home in Frogmore Cottage with Prince Harry and Archie Harrison.
If this is what she chooses to do, Meghan is unlikely to see the Duchess of Cambridge or any other royals on her actual birthday.
However, another source revealed she had been invited to Balmoral Castle for a special tea party held by the Queen which means she could be celebrating with all of the Royal Family.
Speaking to The Sun, a source said: "The Queen and Prince Philip adore the couple and, of course, their new great-grandson Archie, and they have invited them to Balmoral for a few days.
"It is testament to Meghan that she has been given this invite. It's a huge honour. They will celebrate Meghan's birthday, and the catering team will bake a cake to mark the occasion.
"Meghan may be a Duchess who can have anything she wants but the Queen is giving her a thoughtful present.
"It's no secret Balmoral is Her Majesty's favourite home and that's why this invite is so special and heartfelt."
In the past, Prince Harry has given the Duchess a number of lavish gifts but it is thought he will celebrate her birthday this year with a black and white picture of Archie Harrison.
Who is Meghan Markle? Quick profile
Meghan Markle was born Rachel Meghan Markle, on August 4, 1981 to parents Doria Ragland and father Thomas Markle.
Her father was previously married to Roslyn Loveless and Meghan has two elder half sibling - sister Samantha Markle and brother Thomas Markle Junior.
Meghan's first television appearance in the USA was in an episode of the medical drama General Hospital in 2002.
She later moved on to roles in CSI, Without a Trace and Castle along with bit parts in Hollywood films including Get Him to the Greek, Remember Me and Horrible Bosses.
Meghan was also a "briefcase girl" on Deal or No Deal - but her most famous role was as Rachel Zane in legal drama Suits, which launched in 2011.
She was written out in the finale of the seventh series when her character got married, which aired in April 2018 - just before she got married herself.
Charity and humanitarian work
Meghan Markle's career in television has gone hand-in-hand with her support for causes close to her heart.
She wrote about the stigma around menstrual health in an article for Time magazine and was a Global Ambassador for World Vision Canada - with whom she travelled to Rwanda for the charity's Clean Water Campaign.
And her commitment to gender equality has seen her work with the United Nations - receiving a standing ovation in 2015 for her speech to mark International Women's Day.
In September 2011, she wed film producer Trevor Engelson, who she began dating in 2004.
But the pair divorced two years later in August 2013, citing irreconcilable difference.
She was in a relationship with celebrity chef Cory Vitiello for almost two years, before they broke it off in 2016 but the two remain good friends.
And in June 2016, she met Prince Harry on a blind date set up by a mutual friend.
Their relationship began in October that year and just over one year later, on November 27, 2017, the pair announced their engagement.
They married on May 19, 2018 at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle.
Meghan's heritage
Some have claimed Meghan Markle is the first mixed-race member of the Royal Family.
Historians are still arguing about Queen Charlotte, the wife of King George III.
But Meghan will be the first royal to openly embrace a mixed-race heritage.
She has written about the difficulties of being a biracial actress in Hollywood as she claims she is not black enough for some roles and not white enough for others.
The royal line of succession - who outranks who?
The line of succession to the British throne dictates the order in which each member of the Royal Family would ascend to the throne.
It is also seen as a ranking of importance with the head of the line, the Queen, taking the place of ruler.
Older children come before younger children. Traditionally boys came before girls, but this law was changed on 26 March 2015 before the birth of Prince William's first child.
Incredibly, Catholics are still excluded from the line of succession, as are children born outside of wedlock.
The royals, who usually stick to a strict protocol when appearing in public, often arrive at events in ascending order of importance, with the most important royal arriving last.
Prince Charles, 70, is currently second-in-line to the British throne, followed by Prince William, 37, his oldest son.
Then comes Prince William's children, George, five, Charlotte, three, and Louis, almost one, and they are followed by Prince Harry, 37.

A delicious braised bok choy recipe with soy sauce and garlic, an easy Chinese-style dish that highlights the cabbage's delicate flavor.
This braised bok choy recipe is so good! I made it for the first time a couple of months ago. We all liked it so much, that I made it three more times over the past few weeks.
It's such a lovely addition to any Asian-style dinner, and it's very easy to make, so I don't mind making it often.
What does bok choy taste like?
Bok choy is a type of Chinese cabbage. Its flavor is mild, with a very slight peppery taste. It's best when lightly cooked.
The Chinese-style sauce I used today is delicious, and beautifully highlights the vegetable's delicate flavor.
The ingredients you'll need
Here's an overview of the ingredients you'll need to make this tasty side dish (exact measurements are included in the recipe card below):
- Coconut oil
- Baby bok choy
- Chicken broth
- Dry white wine
- Honey
- Soy sauce (or a gluten-free alternative)
- Garlic and ginger
- Cornstarch
How to make this braised bok choy recipe
It's a truly easy recipe. Scroll down to the recipe card for the detailed instructions. Here are the basic steps:
- Start by cooking the cabbage in coconut oil until browned.
- Mix the remaining ingredients (except for the cornstarch) and add to the pan.
- Simmer until tender, about 10 minutes.
- Thicken the sauce with the cornstarch. Spoon over the cabbage and serve.
Is this a healthy recipe?
It is. Just like other vegetables in the cruciferous family of vegetables, bok choy is rich in several vitamins and minerals and it also contains important antioxidants.
But don't overdo it
It's always a good idea to cook Chinese cabbage (and other similar vegetables) and avoid eating it raw.
Raw vegetables in the Brassica rapa family release an enzyme called myrosinase, which triggers a process that interferes with thyroid function. Cooking deactivates the enzyme.
I was amazed to read about the woman who ate so much of the raw vegetable that she went into a coma.
But she was unhealthy, and she was also eating at least 2 pounds of it per day! Which most of us are unlikely to do.
What to serve with this braised bok choy recipe?
It's such a versatile vegetable. It goes with any meat, really. But any Asian-style dish will go particularly well with this recipe. I most often serve it alongside soy sauce chicken or Asian meatballs.
What about leftovers?
Leftovers keep well in the fridge, in an airtight container, for 3-4 days. Gently reheat them in the microwave, covered, on 50% power.
Braised Bok Choy
- 1 tablespoon refined coconut oil
- 6 baby bok choy (2 lb), halved lengthwise
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce (or use a gluten-free alternative and add salt as needed)
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon konjac flour, or 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- Heat a large, wide saucepan over medium-high heat, about 3 minutes. Add half the oil and brush to coat.
- Add half of the bok choy, cut sides down. Cook 3-4 minutes, until browned. Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining oil and bok choy.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the sauce ingredients, except for the konjac flour.
- Return the bok choy to the pan. Pour in the sauce. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook about 10 minutes, until bok choy is just tender.
- Remove the bok choy to a serving platter. Mix the konjac flour with 2 tablesooons cold water, and stir the mixture into the saucepan. Bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, until the liquids turn into a thick sauce, 3-5 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the bok choy and serve.
