In 15th century, both France and England stake a blood claim for the French throne. Believing that God had chosen her, the young Joan (Lise Leplat Prudhomme) leads the army of the King of France. When she is captured, the Church sends her for trial on charges of heresy. Refusing to accept the accusations, the graceful Joan of Arc will stay true to her mission. Joan of Arc, also known as simply Jeanne in French, is directed by prominent French writer / filmmaker Bruno Dumont, director of the films The Life of Jesus, L'Humanité, Twentynine Palms, Flanders, Hadewijch, Outside Satan, Camille Claudel 1915, Slack Bay, and Jeannette: The Childhood of Joan of Arc previously. The screenplay is also from Bruno Dumont, based on Charles Péguy's "Joan of Arc".

VLJ is honored to announce Jack Feinstein as its July Volunteer of the Month. Not only has Jack been volunteering with VLJ for 17 years, but he has also encouraged numerous law students to participate in pro bono work as a former Clinical Professor and ultimately Director of the Rutgers Civil Justice Clinic.
May 2019 Volunteer of the Month: Brian Yomtov
Volunteer Lawyers for Justice is pleased to announce Brian Yomtov, Esq. as its May Volunteer of the Month. Brian works as a Vice President, Corporate Counsel at Prudential Financial in the Technology and Enterprise Contracts Law group where his practice focuses on the drafting and negotiation of technology and service transaction agreements, including software licensing, cloud/hosting, outsourcing, and strategic consulting arrangements. Through Prudential, he has been volunteering with VLJ since 2012.
October 2018 Volunteer of the Month: Robert Nussbaum
A few missed payments on a credit card bill or a student loan can bring consumers into a legal system that seems overwhelming. Volunteer lawyers through VLJ's Consumer Law Program help to relieve some of the pressure felt by these consumers. This month, we highlight the work of Rob Nussbaum of Saiber LLC. Rob's practice at Saiber has centered on civil litigation including collection work, construction litigation, and personal injury defense work. That experience in civil litigation made Rob a natural fit for VLJ's Consumer Law Program.
April 2018 Volunteer of the Month: Maryann McGrath
Paralegals are an integral part of the practice of law. The American Bar Association recognizes that paralegals can enhance lawyers' abilities to offer paid and pro bono services. That is also true of the role of paralegals as volunteers with VLJ, including longtime Consumer Law Clinic volunteer Maryann McGrath. Maryann is a paralegal at AT&T, currently focusing on domestic and international corporate governance. Maryann has volunteered with the Consumer Law Clinic every month for the past 5 years.
September 2017 Volunteer of the Month: Richard Dennis
In an area of law dominated by creditors and debt collection agencies with years of experience in court procedures, it's easy to see how not just clients but even attorneys unfamiliar with the litigation process might lack confidence. But as Richard Dennis can report, even the most basic advice and assistance can make an enormous difference for low-income debtors who feel confused and powerless. Richard worked for AT&T for 17 years, first handling corporate matters including mergers and acquisitions, and then working in the company's global operations legal team. He is also a long-time volunteer at VLJ's Consumer Law Clinic
ABA Pro Bono Week
At VLJ, we celebrate pro bono work every day, but in honor of the American Bar Association's Pro Bono Week (October 23rd to 29th), we have planned a wide variety of events for attorneys and clients. The goals of the celebration include recruiting more pro bono volunteers and increasing legal services to poor and vulnerable people, mobilizing community support for pro bono, fostering collaborative relationships, and recognizing the pro bono efforts of America's lawyers. Click through to see some events that we have planned.

We Cannot See
I was about to say that you would not BELIEVE how much I've been struggling but then I remembered you've probably seen some of my meet results.
But regardless of the performances I've been producing in competition I do do work.
Both on and off the track.
And I was thinking about all of this when I landed back in Atlanta the other day after a whirlwind trip to Houston for the All-Comers meet, and then from there to Washington D.C. for my younger sister's art show.
The skies opened up as we pulled to the gate.
I made my way to baggage claim and gathered my (always way too much) luggage, and set out on a trek to relocate the car.
The leaky parking garage ceiling gave way to spontaneous waterfalls that soaked me and my bags as I made my way from the hourly lot to the daily one.
I started thinking about the Chronicles of Narnia, and its most popular installment, "The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe" which morphed into me thinking about how most people don't know that there are seven novels that make up the Chronicles, and that "The Lion the Witch and The Wardrobe" isn't even the best one.
(But that's just my opinion)
Anyway, in a subsequent novel, Voyage of the Dawn Treader I think it was- Aslan (the Lion) tells them that they never enter Narnia the same way twice.
And for some reason that line, and that deep voice of Aslan the lion saying this to the kids was the voice I heard when I thought about my path to the car through the parking lot, and my two journeys to the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games. And how different they were from each other.
It never happens the same way twice.
Now I'm at the car.
I've manhandled my luggage into the trunk, threw my backpack on the passenger's seat.
I sit down, locate the credit card I'd used to get into the lot so that I can exit the same way, and make my way out into the storm.
But by the time I passed the last "Airport Exit" sign the storm had cleared.
My window was still down and I could smell the scent that rain leaves imprinted in the atmosphere after its departure and feel the heaviness of the humidity in my nostrils.
I let my hand linger outside the window, making waves like I used to do as a kid enjoying how the breeze felt on my skin.
And there it was.
A rainbow.
A double rainbow at that.
Part of me was reminded of the Bible story: Noah's Ark and how the rainbow was said to represent the promise God made to never destroy the earth by water again.
The scientist in me snorted.
And I immediately began to ponder light, and how we are so mesmerized by rainbows.
Which are nothing more than the reflection, refraction, and dispersion of light in the remaining water molecules that act as prisms.
And we marvel at it.
And the color it produces.
Because we can see it.
Because it's VISIBLE to us.
But that rainbow, those colors, that image represents just .0035% of all the light that exists.
Can you believe that!? The light we see, the colors we see only represent .0035% of the light that actually exists around us.
But we humans, aren't always the best at appreciating the things we can't see.
Are we?
Some of us even belittle, pity, and laugh at people of faith, wondering how they could stake so much on a belief system, a deity, that no one can prove actually exists.
After all seeing is believing...right?
Yogi's believe that our true selves are best defined as this inner light of awareness.
As if the true you, your highest self, was buried deep down within you- as untouched by the bullshit of human life as a candle in a cavern with no breeze...
The flame, burning steadily, never flickering.
I'm on I-85 south now, thinking about light.
And how much of it there actually is, and how little of it we can actually see.
And yet...
We are fully aware of its existence.
Fully confident in it's importance, and necessity, to our lives here on earth.
And yet...
We don't see ourselves in that same light (pun intended)
There's only so much...
Only a small percentage of our path we can see...
And we make so many judgements about what it all means based on the .0035% of it that's visible to us.
And it's not even about faith.
The light you cannot see is REAL.
It can be detected and measured.
The things you cannot see working in your life are REAL.
Your action or inaction produces real, detectable, and measurable results.
You can't see it now...
But you will.
Open your eyes.
It may not happen for you the way that it's happened before. Odds are it won't. You're not the same, the conditions aren't the same.
Nothing is the same.
One thing is certain. One thing hasn't changed: you aren't seeing the whole picture.
But that doesn't make the picture any less real.
Believe in the picture of your life.
Even if it's bathed in all the light you cannot see.

It's one thing to be skincare-obsessed, but another to be aware that the surface of our skin is actually home to trillions of living organisms such as bacteria and yeast. When put this way, it almost seems difficult to understand how this can be so. However, the truth is that bacteria and yeast are helpful to provide our skin with nutrients and act as a barrier against external factors, ultimately resulting in healthy and great-looking skin.
Unfortunately, ubeknownst to us, many of the products that we regularly use can be harsh to the extent that they don't just destroy bad bacteria, but also the good bacteria that helps to maintain our skin's ecosystem. Thankfully, technology today allows us to combat this with mindfully-created skincare solutions such as Murad's new Prebiotic Series.
Newly launched in Malaysia just last week, Murad's Prebiotic Series has a range of products that promotes the enrichment of good bacteria on our skin. The series is made up of 3 new products: the Prebiotic 3-in-1 MultiMist, the Prebiotic 4-in-1 MultiCleanser and Murad's Night Fix Enzyme Treatment.
Officiated by Mr. Jason Choy, Director of Deacon Medical Sdn Bhd, International Marketing Manager Kathy Tran and ASIA Pac Sales and Education Manager Katy Bacon, Murad's latest innovation aims to nourish the skin with prebiotics to achieve a balanced microbiome (the collection of living organisms living on our skin).
"Malaysian women today are much more empowered and better informed than they have ever been. They understand what's good for their skin and are more selective of the products they use." - Jason Choy, Director of Deacon Medical Sdn Bhd.
Indeed, we do want to only layer our skin with what's good. And for this reason, we're super excited about this new series. Want to know what we think about the new releases? Stay tuned for our full review coming soon!

My eyes salvage on the gentle gaze between a bio-racial couple whispering giggles with their hands locked together, relaxed and indulging over some hot beverage.
The slam of the cash machine at the counter has me transfixed to the long legged butter coated waitress dressed in black taking orders with all efficiency ignoring the hungry eyes travelling from her perfectly formed cleavage to her delicate arenas.
The menus are jumbled up on a board in white chalk with disabled letters. All one can say is, 'Let me have No. 3' or 'What is good on the menu?'.
The noise from the kitchen destructs an old man from reading his newspaper. I can see him vomit venomous words to himself from the movement of his mouth, turn a little on his seat then gets back to his reading.
At the door, young maidens walk in and crowd an empty table close to the old man and artlessly drag the antique chairs that make squeaky unpleasant noise; the place had seen better days.
My focal point is on a corner table with middle age parents who stir a hurricane of wild gestures with their face filled with frustration as the son sits uneasy and encumbered trying to gain attention from them.
He keeps saying, 'Mummy, Uncle! Bad man. Mummy…'
I align his troubled eyes to the destination of his sight.
Seated cunningly with a stun face and a slight resemblance with him, is a malicious man old enough to be my father.
Happy Reading 💚

Topic: A Texas Soldier's Funeral
What follows is a message from Vicki Pierce about her nephew James'
funeral (he was serving our country in Iraq): "I'm back, it was
certainly a quick trip, but I have to also say it was one of the most
amazing experiences of my life. There is a lot to be said for growing up
in a small town in Texas.
The service itself was impressive with wonderful flowers and sprays, a
portrait of James, his uniform and boots, his awards and ribbons. There
was lots of military brass and an eloquent (though inappropriately
longwinded) Baptist preacher. There were easily 1000 people at the
service, filling the church sanctuary as well as the fellowship hall and
spilling out into the parking lot.
However, the most incredible thing was what happened following the
service on the way to the cemetery. We went to our cars and drove to the
cemetery escorted by at least 10 police cars with lights flashing and
some other emergency vehicles, with Texas Rangers handling traffic.
Everyone on the road who was not in the procession, pulled over, got out
of their cars, and stood silently and respectfully, some put their hands
over their hearts, some had small flags. Shop keepers came outside with
their customers and did the same thing. Construction workers stopped
their work, got off their equipment and put their hands over their
hearts, too. There was no noise whatsoever except a few birds and the
quiet hum of cars going slowly up the road.
When we turned off the highway suddenly there were teenage boys along
both sides of the street about every 20 feet or so, all holding large
American flags on long flag poles, and again with their hands on their
hearts. We thought at first it was the Boy Scouts or 4H club or
something, but it continued .... for two and a half miles. Hundreds of
young people, standing silently on the side of the road with flags. At
one point we passed an elementary school, and all the children were
outside, shoulder to shoulder holding flags ... kindergartners,
handicapped, teachers, staff, everyone. Some held signs of love and
support. Then came teenage girls and younger boys, all holding flags.
Then adults. Then families. All standing silently on the side of the
road. No one spoke, not even the very young children. The last few turns
found people crowded together holding flags or with their hands on their
hearts. Some were on horseback.
The military presence...at least two generals, a fist full of colonels,
and representatives from every branch of the service, plus the color
guard which attended James, and some who served with him ... was very
impressive and respectful, but the love and pride from this community
who had lost one of their own was the most amazing thing I've ever been
privileged to witness.
I've attached some pictures, some are blurry (we were moving), but you
can get a small idea of what this was like. Thanks so much for all the
prayers and support."
|April 22nd, 2005
Thanks very much for sharing this with us, Missileer. We had something similar happen here in Montpelier. What struck me was that there was also a strong and observant portion of the people who you could easily tell by their dress and hair styles were not by any stretch of the imagination supporters of the war. There were young men in dreadlocks, women in tie dye etc. also holding American flags and silently bowing heads. They may not be supporting the war, but they certainly supported our troops. I was very glad to see them there.
They've erected a monument here to Vermont's Iraq War dead. When some out of state group decided to video tape their protest in front of it, local people of the aforementioned dreadlocks and tie dye persuaded them to hold it elsewhere. That too caught my notice.
Michael Moore's web page had an article about Vermont on it noting that tiny Vermont with a population of only about 600,000 has the highest per capita amount of deaths in Iraq. What he failed to mention is that Vermont also has the highest commitment to the military of any state in America. 6 out of 100 Vermonters serve or have served. That's three times the national average of 2 out of 100.
|April 22nd, 2005
It seems that smaller towns take this thing a little more seriously than busy larger cities. All of a sudden it becomes personal when someone you went to school or the Senior prom with comes home for the last time. It doesn't matter how beautiful a memorial or headstone is, there is an empty place in many hearts that will never be refilled.

Malkin advises Fox host: Treat atheists like Internet trolls
Gretchen Carlson of Fox & Friends has emerged this fall as Bill O'Reilly's most overwrought disciple in pursuing Fox's annual War on Christmas. Now even conservative columnist Michelle Malkin seems to find it necessary to try to talk her down.
"I'm just so enraged," Carlson began on Thursday, "by all these atheist displays and trying to push Jesus to the back seat on Christmas Day."
Carlson then turned for moral support to Malkin, who clearly failed to share her sense of outrage.
"I'm starting to get Christmas Wars fatigue," Malkin replied. "I don't know about you guys, but every year now for the last five or six years we've seen these outbursts and these tantrums from people who can't just leave well enough alone and let people enjoy the good cheer of the season."
Perhaps realizing that it might sound like she was actually criticizing Fox for inventing and perpetuating the "war on Christmas," Malkin quickly turned to blaming atheists for spoiling the spirit of the holidays.
"I think this is really a result of identity politics run amok," Malkin suggested, adding, "Now atheists need their 15 minutes of fame." However, it was not clear whether she was referring to all atheists, since she made a point of adding that "some of my best friends are atheists."
"I would advise some of the people of faith who are watching this happen in their towns and cities across the country," Malkin suggested, "not to go stealing their signs, you know. Let them make fools of themselves in the public square and say a prayer for them."
Carlson, however, was not prepared to hear Malkin's message of live and let live. "If you let them do that, then over time they will have the control," she insisted with a note of panic in her voice. "If you don't stand up and fight for it, it might just disappear!"
"I'm talking about Christianity!" Carlson added with an expression of shock on her face.
"Yeah, that's true," said Malkin in a pacifying tone, "but I think there's also an alternate view, which is you treat these people like trolls. And that's a phenomenon on the Internet where you have people who are simply just attention-seekers, who are trying to undermine civility and undermine peace, and if you give them attention it just emboldens them."
Brian Kilmeade jumped in to ask Malkin jokingly if she would "swear on a stack of Bibles ... to ignore the atheist movement," to which Malkin replied that is what she has been trying to do, though "making fun of them" might also work.
"We can all joke about this," Carlson concluded plaintively, "but the bottom line is, this is serious business -- at least to me."
This video is from Fox's Fox & Friends, broadcast Dec. 18, 2008.

ACADEMICIANS and wildlife conservation stakeholders have said that burning confiscated ivory stockpiles was not an option for the reason that the practice would not stop the illicit trade but rather implied defeat in the control of poaching.
Strong enforcement of wildlife protection laws in addition to global consensus on hefty penalties against unscrupulous traders who propel poaching among other counteractive measures are recommended to stop the killing of elephants and rhinos in Africa.
Dr Marcellina Chijoriga also the Dean, University of Dar es Salaam Business School said ivory was not like cocaine that poses health risks to human life, therefore it should be used wisely being another source of income in need of proper handling.
"Rejection of the requests by Zambia and Tanzania to hold one-off sales of their ivory stockpiles during a United Nations species trade meeting in Doha in March, last year was not the end of the bid. Authorities need to tighten law enforcement systems along with other corrective measures.
Burning of ivory stockpile is not an option," Dr Chijoriga said. She underscored the need for the country's negotiation team to present strong and convincing arguments to let member states of the Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) understand the country's concern to support oneoff sales of the stockpile available.
"It is necessary to have empirical data on ivory collected from animals that died of natural causes and the contraband stockpiles. It is quite wrong to burn down the stockpiles believing that such efforts would stop poaching," Chijoriga clarified She said it was not enough to complain that fellow East African member states did not support the country's bid but rather enough preparation with evident talking points was essential.
For his part Dr John Baitani, Programme Officer Monitoring and Evaluation University of Dar es Salaam Business School challenged the international community to think of ways to punish buyers who fuel poaching. He said it was possible to institute effective management of national parks and game reserve areas, but there should also be a mechanism to hold responsible illegal traders currently offering USD 1,800 per kilogramme.
Two years before the Doha meeting, Tanzanian authorities appealed to the Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), the global agency that slammed the ban on trade in ivory and rhino horns, to temporarily lift the moratorium to enable it dispose 89.8 tons of ivory stockpile. Self-employed consultant Zablon Otieno called for a common voice by the international community to stop the illicit trade in ivory.
He recalled recent experience during his visit to Bujumbura in Burundi where sale of ivory is carried out openly because it is not prohibited. "Such loopholes propel poaching in national parks like Katavi. Cross border activities are not controlled and any ivory cache that found its way to Bujumbura would definitely reach ready markets in Asia.
Burundi without a single national park finds no reason to issue ban on ivory trade," Otieno explained. Othman Mjema former professional hunter accused some of local park rangers of being part of the problem. These are not patriotic and some of them colluded with poachers to kill rhinos and elephants for illegal exports.
"With modern communication system like the Global Positioning System (GPS), one would not expect poachers to operate with impunity. When poachers are in operation on one side of the area, corrupt wardens pretend to be busy on surveillance on the wrong side of the area," Mjema alleged. He asked the authorities to work out common strategies to dismantle the networks that now use high tech communication to run their business.
These days, buyers and sellers do not have to meet physically. Rather they ply the internet," he said. The Minister for Natural Resources and Tourism Ezekiel Maige has also agreed that incineration of ivory was not optional because the attempt would not guarantee control of poaching that required co-ordination of additional measures.
"Initiation of Tanzania Wildlife Service (TWS) will help address different challenges including acquisition of working tools like inspection helicopters, deployment of well-trained non-negotiable game wardens and others," Maige said.
According to last year's annual report by the world's largest database on ivory seizures known as the Elephant Trade Information System (ETIS), the illicit trade in ivory, increased in volume between 2004 and 2009. The watchdog organization maintained that the fear of putting ivory on the market would stimulate demand, not satisfy demand and that the situation in Africa would get even worse.
The UN body that oversees trade in threatened wildlife (CITES) last year rejected bids by Tanzania and Zambia to sell their stockpiles to Japan and China. The decision was reached during the 175-nation Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (Cites) meeting in Doha, the Qatari capital.
Tanzania wanted to sell 89.8 tonnes of ivory, while Zambia had argued it needed to sell its 21 tonnes of the material, partly because it was too costly to maintain. The Cites secretariat had recommended the rejection of both countries' proposals, citing a poor enforcement of poaching and illegal sales domestically.
Former Permanent Secretary to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism, Dr Ladislaus Komba said; "We are sitting on a treasure (ivory) that we are not allowed to use to help our population, to help the poor build schools and roads," he said.A separate proposal to downgrade Tanzania's elephants to a lower level of protection, which allows commerce if it is monitored and deemed sustainable was also rejected.
In parts of the Far East countries, the high price of raw ivory is fetching as much as USD 1,800 a kilo. The ivory trade was banned in 1989, but two oneoff sales were allowed in 1999 and 2008. The last permitted sale of ivory in 2008 saw Botswana, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe releasing stocks.

Cloud-Based Geospatial 3D Image Spaces—A Powerful Urban Model for the Smart City
Institute of Geomatics Engineering, FHNW University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland, Gründenstrasse 40, 4132 Muttenz, Switzerland
Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Academic Editors: Jochen Schiewe and Wolfgang Kainz
ISPRS Int. J. Geo-Inf. 2015, 4(4), 2267-2291; https://doi.org/10.3390/ijgi4042267
Received: 28 July 2015 / Revised: 5 October 2015 / Accepted: 14 October 2015 / Published: 26 October 2015
(This article belongs to the Special Issue Geo-Information Fostering Innovative Solutions for Smart Cities)
In this paper, we introduce the concept and an implementation of geospatial 3D image spaces as new type of native urban models. 3D image spaces are based on collections of georeferenced RGB-D imagery. This imagery is typically acquired using multi-view stereo mobile mapping systems capturing dense sequences of street level imagery. Ideally, image depth information is derived using dense image matching. This delivers a very dense depth representation and ensures the spatial and temporal coherence of radiometric and depth data. This results in a high-definition WYSIWYG ("what you see is what you get") urban model, which is intuitive to interpret and easy to interact with, and which provides powerful augmentation and 3D measuring capabilities. Furthermore, we present a scalable cloud-based framework for generating 3D image spaces of entire cities or states and a client architecture for their web-based exploitation. The model and the framework strongly support the smart city notion of efficiently connecting the urban environment and its processes with experts and citizens alike. In the paper we particularly investigate quality aspects of the urban model, namely the obtainable georeferencing accuracy and the quality of the depth map extraction. We show that our image-based georeferencing approach is capable of improving the original direct georeferencing accuracy by an order of magnitude and that the presented new multi-image matching approach is capable of providing high accuracies along with a significantly improved completeness of the depth maps.

The Toxicity of Location: Teen Suicide in California's Silicon Valley
This project is a requirement of the GOA Abnormal Psychology Course. Using the process of design thinking, a challenge in the world of mental health was identified, interviews and research were undertaken, and a solution prototype was developed. Below you will find information about the identified area of concern and my proposed solution. Please feel free to provide feedback on this prototype, using questions such as "How might we…", "What if….?", "I wonder….", "I like…", and "I wish." Keep the comments positive, please. For more information on the process of Design Thinking, click here.
In the area I live in, teen suicide is unfortunately not uncommon. It's one of those things that everyone is aware of and knows that it is there, but it's never discussed. For a long time it remained a mystery to me why this was happening to so many kids in my area and what factors were contributing to this issue, until I experienced it for myself in two ways. I've had to repeatedly talk a girlfriend out of committing suicide, and the most recent experience I had with this was when I was diagnosed with moderate depression and anxiety about a month ago. I have since been prescribed medication to stabilize my mood and to help me feel more happy times than depressed times, and I have been in therapy for almost four months now to help with my mental state. My psychiatrist, who also doubles as my therapist, said that my depression is being intensified by stressors in my life and that is what prompted me to really look at what is contributing to that through my therapy sessions with her, and my own research. Unfortunately, the counseling office at my school is not known among the student population for being particularly helpful. They're known to listen to what you have to say and not support you very well, and instead inform your parents and teachers that you've shown signs of depression so they keep an eye on every little thing you do, which really just causes even more anxiety.
What I hope this project does is start the dialogue between students and their school administrations, and students and their parents, who don't understand what is going on with this generation of teens.
I am interested to see if you guys feel the same about your school's counseling office and would greatly appreciate it if you would fill out the survey below.
Create your own user feedback survey
This survey is anonymous and the results can be seen here:
In Palo Alto, teen suicide on the railroad that runs through town has happened so frequently that at each opening where people can walk into the tracks, the town and CalTrain have stationed security guards to prevent others from being able to do the same. They have also placed Crisis Hotline signs alongside Active Railroad signs in the hope that people will call the hotline instead of jumping in front of the trains (see image below).
According to a report from the CDC, the rate of youth (ages 10-24) suicides per 100,000 people was 14.1 from 2003 to 2015. In the county that Palo Alto is a part of, Santa Clara County, the rate was 5.4 per 100,000 making Palo Alto's rate 2.6 times higher than the county rate. (See image below).
On the left side of this table are the suicide rates from 2003-2015 in Palo Alto and other towns in the area. On the right side are the predicted rates and Palo Alto is not predicted to go down. It has the lowest relative standard error (RSE) out of all of the other towns on the table. Basically, what that means is there is a 9% chance that the CDC's predictive calculations of the suicide rate in Palo Alto are wrong. To give you a little bit of an understanding of what students in Palo Alto are feeling, here is a nationally televised ABC Nightline report where students and former teachers share their stories on student's depression and anxiety.
Teens in the area surrounding Palo Alto also feel that they live in a "pressure cooker environment" as Martha Cabot said in her YouTube video that was excerpted in this report. The pressure to become a successful business person, a tech mogul like Mark Zuckerberg, a doctor, or a lawyer is high. Living in this area, those are the successful positions that we are constantly surrounded with. Many of my peer's parents are doctors, lawyers, venture capitalists, or have other successful careers and on top of that, we live less than 3.5 miles away from Stanford University. For many students, their goal is to make it through high school with excellent grades and then go to Stanford and be a business major or a medical student. This was the dream for my best friend and for many of my peers who I have been going to school with for the last 13 years.
Students here feel that they are expected to be the best and be the next Zuckerberg. As a passionate actor and someone who will be going to college for theatre, I cannot tell you how many times I have been told that it's not a good idea to follow acting because of how hard it is to "make it" in the industry. I have been asked countless times, "So what's your backup plan?" after telling people that I want to study theatre. With things like that constantly going in your ear, it's really tempting to leave what you're passionate about to go follow the money and study to get a more stable job.
This issue isn't just happening in Palo Alto. All across the U.S., students are feeling stressed and pressured to go to good colleges and get high-paying jobs. Looking at the increase in the national youth suicide rate, youth suicide is becoming more and more frequent all across the country. Since 2000, the national youth suicide rate has gone up from 10.1 people per 100,000 to 13.15 per 100,000 as shown in black in the graph below (graph screengrabbed from afsp.org).
This is why I wanted to make this project. Older generations have said that they don't understand why the teen suicide rate is starting to climb so much. The pressure and stress that teens are experiencing in our everyday lives is a major contributor to this incline.
The most important thing that we can do for this issue is start a conversation. Student's need to speak up if they are feeling that their school's counseling offices aren't helping, that they are feeling this pressure, and that they don't feel like they can talk about their mental health because of the stigma surrounding this topic in our society. If an open dialogue is started between parents, students, and schools in a way that doesn't make kids feel like they are going to be under a microscope, a big change can be made. If we have an open dialogue and people willing to listen to what the youth have to say, I believe that teens will be much more willing to reach out for help if they need it.
If you feel so compelled, use this hashtag on social media: #SpeakUpReachOut
Start the conversation at your school. Bring a friend to talk to your school's administration so you don't have to go alone. Show your parents this page and have them read it so they can get an idea of how to help. Be sure to ask questions that start with, "What if….? How might we….? I wonder…..?" This will help start you along the road to thinking about solutions that will be meaningful and effective in your community. (Some examples of that are shown below in the next two paragraphs)
Parents want to help their kids. It's their job and you are important to them. What my parents asked me when I first came to them was "What can we do to help?" which wasn't what I expected to happen. I thought that they would judge me and panic, but they didn't which was a huge relief. If you are a parent reading this, consider asking yourself, "How might I help my child without making it seem like I am judging them?" or, "How can I be there to listen to them and be there for them when they are feeling down?".
Students, ask yourselves how you can start the conversation in your school. For example, "How can we bring this up with the administration in a way that promotes peaceful discussion?". Maybe offer solutions to your administration such as, "What if we have a meeting after school with students who want to voice their feelings on the counseling office and/or what they have been going through with stress/pressure?".
There are many questions that can be asked and solutions that can be offered to best fit your communities. Not every school community is alike and thinks the same way.
Here at home, I plan to start a conversation with my administration about this issue and I will work with the local organization, SafeSpace, to do so. I have good relationships with all of the administrators at my school and I feel like this is something that they would want to hear from me and other students who are feeling this way. Since I am a senior that is about to graduate, I will be passing this down to the underclassmen at my school who are also involved with SafeSpace and who are trying to bring this issue to light as well. They are planning an assembly for the next school year to present to the student body and faculty to help create a more empathetic environment for struggling students.

The Los Angeles Clippers gained the Kawhi Leonard sweepstakes slightly below every week in the past. After buying and selling for Paul George, the Clippers confirmed they might do no matter it takes to land the reigning NBA Finals MVP.
Leonard determined Los Angeles was the place for him after flirting with the Clippers, Lakers and Raptors in free company.
The Lakers reportedly believed they had been the favourite for Kawhi, however considered one of Leonard's teammates recommended the Lakers had been by no means within the hunt.
On a convention name with reviews, former Raptors guard Danny Inexperienced revealed Leonard's true intentions.
In keeping with Inexperienced, Leonard solely really thought-about the Clippers and Raptors.
Danny Inexperienced simply advised reporters on a convention name that he believes it was between the Clippers and Raptors for Kawhi Leonard.
— Invoice Oram (@billoram) July 11, 2019
The NBA's finest two-way participant signed a three-year cope with the Clippers. Preliminary reviews recommended he signed a four-year max deal, however he ultimately inked a two-plus-one cope with a participant choice.
Leonard can go away the Clippers in two years and enter free company in 2021. After acquiring his NBA veteran standing, Leonard will reportedly be eligible for a contract over $250 million for 5 years.
He'll have the ability to enter free company with the likes of LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bradley Beal. Simply two years after teasing NBA followers in free company, he can achieve this but once more.

This section describes how spatial redundancy and temporal redundancy can be removed from a video signal. It also describes how a typical video codec combines the two techniques to achieve compression.
Video coding is usually performed with YUV 4:2:0 format video as an input. This format represents video using one luminance plane (Y) and two chrominance planes (Cb and Cr). The luminance plane represents black and white information, while the chrominance planes contain all of the color data. Because luminance data is perceptually more important than the chrominance data, the resolution of the chrominance planes is half that of the luminance in both dimensions. Thus, each chrominance plane contains a quarter of the pixels contained in the luminance plane. Downsampling the color information means that less information needs to be compressed, but it does not result in a significant degradation in quality.
Most video coding standards split each video frame into macroblocks (MB), which are 16 × 16 pixels ...

ON AIR - Non Stop Music
A Drogheda councillor is remaining tight-lipped about who he'll nominate to fill the second seat he won in last month's local elections.
Independent Kevin Callan has chosen to sit in the Drogheda Urban electoral area.
He will now put a name before the council to fill the vacant seat in Drogheda Rural by means of a co-op.
However, Councillor Callan would not be drawn on who this might be:

The mugging of stocks will continue on Wednesday as Wall Street keeps its eyes out for the Inflation bogeyman. Asia gained and Europe edged higher. The Dow is set to open slightly in the negative.
Stocks across the board are likely to continue to lose ground later today on concerns about inflation. New home sales for April are due out at 10 a.m. EST from the Department of Commerce. Analysts are expecting sales to rise to 915,000 from 909,000 in the previous month. The sales indicate the strength in the confidence of consumers to put down money and start a mortgage. Homes are typically a household's largest investment. The confidence among consumers is the main reason for the economy's sustained prowess, since two-thirds of the Gross Domestic Product, the main gauge of a nation's economic health, is made up of consumer spending.
Initial jobless claims for last week are due out Thursday. But the real number to look out for will be the following day. For Friday, non-farm payroll data for May will be reported at 8:30 a.m. EST. If the growth rate for last month exceeds 2.75 percent, it could put an even greater damper on stocks. About one-third or greater of the cost to make a particular product is labor. Labor costs have remained in check for quite some time, which has kept corporate profits healthy and the economy in check. This isn't likely to be sustainable and Greenspan has repeatedly warned that rising labor costs from such a tight labor market could foster inflation.
Some other dates to mark on the calendar: June 16 - the second revision of the Consumer Price Index for the first quarter. The last revision of the CPI, the average cost of consumer staple items, worked to confirm Wall Street's worries that the economy was beginning to overheat. The next revision is likely to drive that point home further. The following day, June 17, Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan testifies before Congress. The topic isn't important. Wall Street will hang on every word to see exactly how "biased" he has become towards raising interest rates.
Among Wednesday's stocks to watch: AdForce loses a customer, Adobe Systems is holding an analyst call this morning, AOL buys some music makers, Comverse Technology beat estimates, McLeodUSA makes a purchase and Newbridge Networks came up short in its fourth quarter.
On Tuesday, Internet stocks were routed again but blue-chip stocks helped the Dow reverse its fortune in late trading. The Dow closed up 37 points to 10,596.26 while the Nasdaq composite shed 58 points to close at 2,412.55.
The Inter@ctive Week @Net Index lost 15 to 282 on Tuesday.
At the Bell
The Dow Jones industrial average is set to open unchanged. The Standard & Poor's 500 index for June futures contracts was unchanged at 1,295.6 at 7:20 a.m. EST in 24-hour electronic trading, are indicating no change in the global bellwether.
Asia made modest gains. The Nikkei 225 in Tokyo edged up 0.06 percent to 16,417, the Seoul composite in South Korea gained 2.82 percent to 775, Singapore's Strait Times index added 0.97 percent to 1,927 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng advanced 0.77 percent to 12,458.
European markets were little changed in morning trade. London's FTSE 100 rose 0.87 percent to 6,303, the CAC 40 in Paris crept 0.04 percent higher to 4,315 and the Xetra DAX in Frankfurt gained 0.08 percent to 5,014 at 7:39 a.m. EST.

Is the Law of Attraction spiritual or religious? It all depends on your interpretation. If you're religious then you probably believe in God or a God. If you're spiritual then you may prefer to use the terms Universe or Source Energy. The truth is that it's quantum physics and it really doesn't matter. Your soul is consciousness, in a temporary human body. This entire experience is your own perception. We all come from this same powerful energy field, which is neither spiritual nor religious.
"As a man thinks, so is he." – Proverbs 23:7
To remember who you are, you need to forget what they told you to be.
Prior to learning about the Law of Attraction, I tried religion. I tried to read the Bible a number of times, but I never got very far. Religion wasn't giving me the answers. Actually quantum physics has made much more sense to me. Just recently, I realized that the Bible is filled with metaphors, that don't really mean what we think that they mean. Sadly, it has been very misinterpreted.
Then I found "Conversations with God" by Neale Donald Walsch. I'm very serious when I say that it absolutely changed my life. Everything began to make sense. Conversations with God isn't spiritual or religious. It just answers the questions.
As an Amazon Associate I do earn a small commission from qualifying purchases.
This is all 3 books in one, but they can be purchased separately.
If you know who Abraham-Hicks is, they say that "Conversations With God" is one of the most important books ever written. The funny thing is that Abraham is a higher dimensional being, a light being, with a complete knowledge of "God". They know about this book, but they know very little about our Bible.
Many people think that no one could have a conversation with "God". Neale Donald Walsch didn't actually speak to "God", but asked questions and received the answers. If you read the reviews, both spiritual and religious people have said that it changed their lives. Of course, there are always some that will say it was written by the devil, but that's no surprise. It depends on how open minded you are.
For me, the most comforting thing in the book was when Neale received the message from "God" that said, "You are living your life, the way you are living your life and I have no preference in the matter. You are here to remember and re-create who you really are".
Another thing is that there is no Hell. It would serve no purpose. We were given free will to choose any life that we wanted to experience, so why would we be punished for anything? We are not here to be tested, judged and sentenced. We are here to gain wisdom.
Unfortunately, quantum physicist will never have a complete understanding of the Universe, because they have to have mathematical proof. That will never happen in this human reality, but they know that there is something unexplainable going on. Just the other day I heard Fred Alan Wolfe (Dr. Quantum) say that quantum entanglement is the great-great-granddaddy of all quantum weirdness.
Whether they can prove it or not, there is no doubt that there is a very powerful, constantly expanding, energy source. What most of us call "God" is ENERGY. The energy of the entire Universe. It is the unmeasurable frequency of unconditional love. Since it is energy, it cannot hear you. It cannot punish you or judge you. It can only mirror the vibrations that you're sending out. That means that you are creating your own life, 100%.
How many people do you hear, saying a happy, joyful prayer, showing appreciation for their amazing life? How many people wake up each morning thankful that they're alive and looking forward to any miracles that may happen? This is why most don't feel that their prayers are being answered. Many are sending out vibrations of fear, lack and frustration rather than happiness, gratitude and appreciation. Your life is being created from YOUR vibration. Fear based emotions are the lowest vibration there is.
Appreciating your life has nothing to do with whether you're spiritual or religious, it's all about being in a high vibration.
More prayers are offered in the attitude of absence of what is wanted, in the yearning for a better life. So most people are offering their prayers or their requests, to whomever they think has the power to grant them, from a vibration in opposition to the very thing that they're asking for. ~Abraham-Hicks~
Whether we live our lives as spiritual or religious, we have all forgotten our true connection with The Universe. Although, that's the way it was planned. We were supposed to forget, so that we could re-learn and re-create who we really are. If we tap into the joys of life and align ourselves with it, things can change dramatically. That's our purpose. To remember.
The point is that you can be spiritual or religious or neither. It's all energy and energy has no religion. It's your own interpretation that will make it spiritual or religious. Showing more gratitude and trying to live with more love, acceptance and patience is what it's really about.
Deepak Chopra explains the difference between spiritual or religious like this:
"Religion is a belief in someone else's experience. Spirituality is having your own experience."
I've been doing A Course In Miracles and Lesson 70 says "My salvation comes from me". What that means is, we are searching outside of ourselves for salvation. The answers are within.
Why the aliens or higher dimensional beings, have an "investment in our flourishing".

The Plagelot
I found an old black-and-white photo of the garden. It was taken when the lawns were hidden beneath a layer of snow. A snow man had been made. According to the writing on the back of the photo, his name was Hickey and he was suspected of being involved in the robbery of a shoe shop. The wife is always taking photos of the garden. She says that the present colours our memories, and that we need photos to see the past as it really was, without the layer of the present. Her aunt paints to add a layer over the present. Her latest painting of the garden includes a pinball machine.
My cousin Rachel is a member of an Amateur Dramatics Society. Napoleon was a character in one of their plays. Many historical figures appeared in it, from Machiavelli to Scooby Doo. One of Rachel's neighbours, a man called Liam, had a replica of Napoleon's hat. He allowed them to use it in the play, but he warned them to be careful with it. The warning was heeded, but this didn't prevent the actor playing Napoleon from spilling soup on the hat. It left a stain, and a bit of a smell, but the hat wasn't badly damaged.
The hat had been entrusted into the care of Robert, and it was his job to return it. He wasn't looking forward to this. Liam had a glass eye and he could be frightening when he glared at people. Rachel told Robert she'd go with him. She was looking after Daisy and Graham, her niece and nephew, and she brought them along too.
When they got to Liam's house, Rachel waited outside with the kids. Robert said, "I thought you said you were coming in with me."
"I said I'd 'go' with you. I didn't say I'd meet him as well."
"She's got a point there," Graham said.
Robert didn't push the point because he hated arguments when the kids got involved. The only way you could win was if you kept repeating the same point for hours.
So Robert went inside and he was back out within two minutes. "Bad news," he said. "He wants two-hundred euros to get a new hat. I told him it just needs to be cleaned, and we'd pay for cleaning it, but he insisted on the money."
"Did you give in?" Rachel said.
"I didn't have much choice. I never noticed this before, but his glass eye is black. At least I assume it's made out of glass. If he was able to grow it himself, that'd be a bit odd."
Rachel said, "You don't grow things like eyes and livers and toes and things. They grow by themselves."
"In you."
"Yeah, but you don't water them and give them fertilizer and manure."
"You eat and drink and exercise."
"You don't look at your eye and say, 'My eye could do with a bit of water.'"
"No. You look at your eye and say, 'There's something wrong with my eye.' So you go to the doctor and he gives you a prescription for it."
"Yeah, but you don't 'grow' them. It's not like a vegetable competition to see who has the biggest cabbage or melon."
"People grow their muscles and compete against each other to see who has the biggest muscles. That's a vegetable competition."
"You can grow muscles," Rachel said, "but not eyes. Most people never put any thought into the growth of their eyes."
"Most people never put any thought into the growth of plants either. You just put them in the ground and let nature do the rest. Wild flowers don't need anyone to think about them. Putting them in the ground wouldn't be as much fun as making kids, but they'll be a lot less trouble later on. And flowers wouldn't be as ugly as kids."
"Okay, so he didn't 'grow' the black eye, but he chose it himself. He could have chosen one that looks like his other eye, but he chose a black one. That's weird."
Robert said, "When I was in a museum once I saw a stuffed plagelot, and its eyes looked black. The plagelot is extinct now. They were a sort of a cross between a duck and a kangaroo. 'Dungaroo' would have been a better name for them."
Daisy said, "People would have got confused with dungarees."
"Well 'duckeroo' then," Alan said.
"That's just like 'Buckeroo'," Graham said.
"What's Buckeroo?"
"It's a game where you put little ropes and buckets and things onto a little plastic horse and hope he doesn't buckeroo and throw them all off."
"It's quite possible that the man who named the plagelot was just about to name it the 'dungaroo' but he stopped and thought, 'Wait a minute, what if someone confuses it with dungarees? I don't know if dungarees have been invented yet, but just to be safe, I'll call it a duckeroo instead. But wait a minute, what if someone invents a game where you put things on a small plastic horse and calls it Buckeroo? I better call it something else instead. I think I'll call it a plagelot.'"
"Who named it?" Daisy said.
"I have no idea."
"Why do you assume it was a man?"
"Because a woman would have far too much sense to call something a plagelot just in case someone invented a horse that may or may not buck when you put things on it. And they'd have too much sense to wear dungarees too."
"But the man was right about Buckeroo," Graham said.
"I doubt if this plagelot even exists," Rachel said.
"Why would you doubt that?" Robert said.
"It just sounds a bit too unbelievable. A cross between a duck and a kangaroo. You've probably just taken your idea of a duck and your idea of a kangaroo and melted them together. You've created the plagelot in your own head by melting things together. Possibly after sniffing melting plastic."
"No, I saw it in a museum."
"You need to do a bit of spring cleaning in your head. People take in all sorts of information and theories and ideas. It's like storing them all in the attic. You've got to look at these things and ask what should you throw out and what's worth holding onto. The plagelot should definitely go in the bin."
"What if you found Anne Frank hiding in your attic? Would you have all of her information and theories and ideas too?"
"No, because that Anne would be constructed from things already in your attic, a bit like the plagelot. She'd be put together from all the things up there. Her head might be a mop and her body might be a cardboard box."
"What would be the point of making an Anne Frank like that?"
"I don't know. You're the one who asked about her."
"Yeah, but the Anne Frank in my head doesn't have a mop for a head."
"It was just a metaphor. We're talking about your brain, not an attic."
Daisy and Graham decided to make their own version of the plagelot using an old teddy bear whose eyes were missing. They used a black button for one eye and a daisy for the other (because it was something he could grow on his face). They dressed him in dungarees. They attached things from Buckeroo to his hands, like a bucket, a rope and a pickaxe.
Rachel took the kids and their plagelot to see Robert. "That's very impressive," he said when he saw it. "It's not quite like the real plagelot, but it's a good interpretation. I've been working on a creation of my own. I took your advice about cleaning out my attic. I found Anne Frank there."
He showed them the version of Anne Frank he had made. It was a box with a mop sticking out of it. He had taped gloves to the box to represent hands.
"If that's the version of Anne Frank in your attic," Rachel said, "then I never want to go into your attic."
Daisy put the plagelot on the ground next to Anne Frank. "I think they work well together," she said. "They look as if they both come from the same attic."
Rachel asked Robert if he had collected the two-hundred euros for the hat. He said he had, but the other members of the Amateur Dramatics Society had been very reluctant to pay because they blamed him for giving in to Liam.
Liam called to collect the money later that day. Robert invited him in, and then he went upstairs to get the money. Liam noticed the plagelot, but he didn't recognise it at a plagelot. He saw the single black eye and he assumed it was a voodoo doll of himself. It wouldn't have been the first time someone made a voodoo doll of Liam. He had suffered unexplained pains in many parts of his body. But Robert had done something even worse than sticking a pin in his head -- he put dungarees on the doll. Liam knew something had been wrong. He thought it was just something he ate (either the cake he got off a dog or the sausages with the illegible 'best before' date). He saw the daisy in the other eye socket and he wondered what that could mean. Did it suggest the doll was dead, and pushing up the daisies? Even if he was dead he'd feel uncomfortable in dungarees.
Then he saw the much bigger being looming over him, the one with the mop for a head. He wondered who that could be. He was afraid to destroy the doll of himself, and he was even more afraid of the other one.
When Robert returned to the room, Liam was taking the dungarees off the doll.
"Who's the one with the mop for a head?" Liam said.
"Anne Frank."
"Anne Frank?"
"Are you out to get Anne Frank or me?"
Robert was sure there must have been a third option. He tried to think of one, but he couldn't think straight under pressure. "It's a metaphor," he said.
Liam didn't understand this. It only made him more suspicious, and he left without saying another word. He took the money and the dungarees. Robert thought this was odd.
Liam feared the wrath of a superior being. He assumed that any being who was superior to him would be warthful because that was his experience with humans. For him to consider anyone as superior, they'd have to beat him in a fight outside a pub, so benevolent people didn't stand a chance. If it really was Anne Frank, he'd be okay, but he didn't think it was her. He had to take action because he hated being afraid of something he couldn't threaten with a broken bottle.
He had to fight fire with fire. Benevolence wouldn't settle this. So he made a voodoo doll of Robert, and he put it in his field next to a scarecrow. He dressed the scarecrow up as Hitler. He took a photo of the doll next to the scarecrow and he sent it to Robert, but Robert didn't recognise himself. He showed it to Rachel and he said, "This is even weirder than when he took the dungarees off the plagelot. He's really freaking me out."
Liam's scarecrow didn't go down too well in the locality. An angry mob protested outside his house one evening. He didn't know why they were protesting, and he assumed it was Robert's response to the photo. Liam thought that this was like being beaten outside a pub, so he accepted defeat to a more sinister being. He left the house through the back door and headed for Robert's place. On the way he saw that his scarecrow had been set on fire.
He arrived at Robert's house in an agitated state. Robert was just about to say, "Please don't hurt me." But before he had a chance, Liam said, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry about the voodoo doll and everything. Is it about the hat? Here, take the money back. I'll just get it cleaned."
Liam gave the money back to Robert and he left.
When Robert was telling Rachel about it on the following day, she figured out what Liam was referring to when he mentioned the voodoo doll. She said, "He made a representation of you in doll form. That's probably an idea you'd want to clear out of your attic."
"Now I know how Anne Frank must have felt."
"I don't know. Who is Anne Frank anyway?"
The moose's head over the fireplace is looking forward to the All-Ireland football final on Sunday. It's Cork against Kerry. As if winning an All-Ireland wasn't good enough, there's the added bonus of doing it by defeating Kerry. Of course, being beaten by Kerry would require the swift construction of a hole to hide in, but no one's considering that.

These low fat Easy Turkey Stuffing Balls are a delicious, healthier alternative to traditional pork stuffing using sausage meat.
These low fat Easy Turkey Stuffing Balls are a delicious, healthier alternative to traditional pork stuffing using sausage meat. There is also another twist. I've added a bit of chicken liver for more depth and richness of flavour and to distinguish these festive stuffing balls from ordinary meatballs.
My mum used to add chicken liver to her stuffing (which she always put inside the actual turkey or chicken), which tasted delicious, so I decided to use this idea in my healthy stuffing balls recipe. Chicken liver has a strong flavour so you don't need to use very much of it – 60g is absolutely sufficient. It's nevertheless really worthwhile to include it in your stuffing balls recipe. It goes really well with the fruity, herby notes in this recipe.
How to make easy turkey stuffing balls
Meatballs are usually very easy to make. These festive stuffing meatballs are also easy to make but they require a tiny bit more preparation. Instead of just combining all the ingredients and forming meatballs you will first need to fry the onions with the apples and marsala (sherry) until they soften. As you are waiting for the mixture to cool blend one third of the turkey mince with the chicken livers, sage and parsley until sticky. Then combine this with the rest of the ingredients, including the apple sauce. Form balls and coat in flour. Pan fry and enjoy!
Why you should fry rather than bake these stuffing balls
I considered baking these turkey stuffing balls in the oven, but in the end decided against it. While it makes perfect sense to bake sausage meat stuffing balls in the oven (as they tend to be high in fat), these low fat stuffing balls are better fried – they may get a little dry in the oven. Coat them in flour and fry slowly with a little oil turning often, taking care not to let them brown too much (it's a good idea to work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan).
Don't forget to season these stuffing balls generously – this will help bring out the sweet and savoury flavours in this recipe.
Serving suggestions
These easy turkey stuffing balls would make a fantastic addition to a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. Delicious with poultry dishes and cranberry sauce. and cranberry chutney. They are also great with other holiday side dishes, such as these sprouts with cranberry, chestnut and orange. Try them also with this easy low sugar orange sauce.
