Sister Winsome is an Anglican Sister of the Community of St Mary the Virgin. Her passion is "sharing Jesus with people". Her interests include the literature, movies and legal system of the United States.
1. Why is Jesus important to you?
He is my life. He is my friend. He is my spiritual adviser. I turn to him constantly, at the good moments and the bad, reassured that he is always supportive. He is my life now and my promise for the future. I cannot imagine my life without him.
2. How did your faith begin?
On 1 July 1979, when I asked Jesus into my life. I wanted a closer relationship with him which was only possible by asking him into my life completely. He came. That was the start of my life of faith.
3. Have you ever found faith hard to keep?
There have been moments when I've questioned where my faith is leading me, but in the end God has never let me down. He has led me through situations that seemed impossible. Ultimately, it has not been hard to keep faith because he has been faithful.
4. What does believing in Jesus mean to your everyday life?
Becoming a nun meant dedicating my life to Jesus. He is the centre of my everyday life of prayer, worship and community living. My beliefs flow into every aspect of my life. No part is unaffected by my relationship with Jesus.
5. What encouragement would you give someone looking for faith?
Don't give up! Jesus doesn't give up on you. He is waiting and ready to welcome you at any moment that you come to him. Why wait to do so when today you can enjoy his love, mercy, comfort and friendship – all the things that make life worth living.

Click the link below to watch the YouTube video on Greater Vancouver 2015 November Housing Market Update, presented by the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver. The video presents an overview of the housing statistics for November 2015 in the Greater Vancouver area, and discusses elevated home sale trends.
Highlights from the video include:
(1) residential property sales in Metro Vancouver reached 3,524 on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in November 2015;
(2) This sales number is 46.2 per cent above the 10-year sales average for the month and rank as the second highest November on record for residential property sales;
(3) The sales-to-active-listings ratio in November 2015 was 43.5 per cent.
Generally, analysts say that downward pressure on home prices occurs when the ratio declines below the 12 per cent mark, while home prices often experience upward pressure when it reaches 20 per cent, or higher, in a particular community for a sustained period of time.

Since 2008, the Student Literary Arts Association at YSU has hosted the Youngstown Reading Series, a lecture series dedicated to introducing students and the Youngstown community to established authors from the region and from around the country.
The Reading Series has been host to such respected authors as Eric Wasserman, Alan DeNiro, Peter Oresick, Nin Andrews, YSU's own Philip Brady and Christopher Barzak, and many more.
In addition to featuring readings from such authors, the Youngstown Reading Series often features open mic readings by students and members of the community. The aim of the series is to enable students to meet, connect with, and share with the community established authors. Youngstown Reading Series events are often held at either the Lemon Grove Cafe or at Dorian Books, both in Youngstown.
November, 2010 Feature: Susan Linville
Susan Linville is the co-author of The Price of Stones, which tells the story of the building of a school in co-author Twesigye Jackson Kaguri's home village in Uganda. The Nyaka AIDS Orphan School was a step forward in a campaign to end superstitions surrounding HIV and AIDS in Uganda.
Even being on the other side of the world, Nyakagyezi is by no means removed from Youngstown and is indeed a village whose story we can find in ways within our own. Says Linville:
"Nyakagyezi and Youngstown may be half a world apart, but they are both recovering from devastation. To continue that recovery requires a new generation of young people to bring their skills, talents and abilities to bear. Here in the States, we leave education to parents and teachers, but communities are full of leaders who could involve themselves with students. Young people often need only a role model and the expectation of excellence succeed."
We had the opportunity to speak to Susan Linville about her awareness of the Nyaka project, the importance of literacy in Nyakagyezi, and the pure power and potential of a community that cooperates to achieve a dream.
You can read the full interview here.
In addition, we are proud to feature two of her poems, submitted for our inaugural issue of Jenny. They are:

Lincoln City manager Danny Cowley says his side have to be prepared for every game plan they might face in the final three months of the season.
Cowley says his side have to be clever enough to break down any type of opposition they come up against in their title charge ahead of tomorrow's clash against Woking.
His side sit top of the pile in the National League ahead of the game against a Woking side who sit just a point above the relegation zone.
And the Imps boss says his side will be fully prepared for whatever they come up against, be it an attacking mentality or the opposite.
He said: "Every team comes with a different game plan, different personnel and different styles and we have to be prepared to beat what's in front of us.
"We never criticise anybody else's style. Everybody has to do what they have to do in order to get results. Whatever's in front of us, we've got to be good enough to outwit and overcome.
"We're respectful of Woking, they've got lots of good individuals. They've got goals in their team with two good forwards, experienced midfield players who have played League football and pace in wide areas.
"Woking have been competitive in this division for a number of years now and we know we'll have to be at our very best of we want to get on the right side of it."
In recent weeks, Cowley had said contract talks with players at the club had been on hold given the amount of games his side had to play.
But the former Braintree boss will now sit down with some players after the FA Cup match at Burnley to discuss new deals – when the club can properly assess their financial situation.
He said: "We're having early conversations with a few. At the moment the games are still coming thick and fast and there's still a focus on what we're doing on the pitch.
"Post-Burnley there will be a chance for the club to sit down and assess exactly where we're at financially, in terms of the budget.
"The players that have done so well for us, we want to be loyal to and we want to keep. We don't know which division we're going to be in yet so the conversations we have will consider that we could be in the National League or we could hopefully be in the Football League.
"The conversations we have will consider both factors and hopefully we can find a happy ground for the club and the player."
Cowley says every player in his squad will have a part to play in the latter stages of the season, including those who are not first team regulars, although Taylor Miles has joined Concord Rangers on loan for the next month.
"It's been stop-start for Taylor and he got injured at the worst time on the first game of the season. He's gone to Concord for an initial 28 days and then we'll review it from there."Tweet

The Baltimore Sun has an interview up with former WWE Diva Amy "Lita" Dumas where she talks about her departure from WWE. Dumas talks about how hard it was for her real-life breakup with Matt Hardy to be used as a form of entertainment on TV: "That whole thing was just such a hard time for me. When you go through personal problems, it's hard enough as it is, but then to have every aspect of your life out there and to feel like everybody knows your business when they really only know such a small percent and they're passing judgment … there were definitely days when I didn't feel like getting on the plane to go to work."

Selena Gomez and Jared Leto weren't the only two holding court at the BoF 500 Gala on Saturday (September 9) in New York City. Here, a look at the other guests in attendance.
Doutzen Kroes: The model showed off her form in a ruched and gathered Jason Wu Spring 2018 drawstring dress that offered a new twist on the LBD.
Lewis Hamilton: If Lewis's confetti pants didn't spell party, I don't know what does. This Dior Homme look is fashion-forward without being overcooked or try-hard. Jared Leto may want to take notes.
Taylor Hill: I'm afraid this Julien Macdonald Fall 2017 metallic mini came across as a bit dated, but it was more the crimped hair and nude sandals that killed the vibe.

See if that blogger has ANY HISTORY AT ALL OF EVER DOING THIS because most likely the only comment is going to be from the blogger telling you that you misspelled 'punctilious'."

linearized supersonic flow on airfoils
as we know,linearized potential flow on supersonic airfoils predicts wave drag. in linearized potential flow perturbations are so small that will be no shock wave and all will be mach wave and so process will be isentropic. so how does linearzied theory can predic drag due to shock wave that are related to nonisentropic process).
Re: linearized supersonic flow on airfoils
Simply put it doesn't predict the drag due to the shock. The wave-drag is the drag due to the small amplitude acoustic waves radiating away from the aerofoil,

Mayetta, KS – The Big Time Bail Bonds Clash on the Hill is always an exciting time each and every Saturday night at Thunder Hill Speedway.
It was a race that nobody could have predicted for the JAG Trucking IMCA Northern Sport Mods on Saturday night.
After a last place finish in the 1st heat race of the night, Jacob Davis wasn't thinking about a win he was wanting to just get out for the feature and make some laps and try to come home with a solid finish. Everything after that is just a blur to Davis or was Davis a blur to everyone else?
As the feature got underway Brandon Spanjer took to the top spot, but he had a lot of company with him. Brian Murphy, Lance Borgman and Kyle Stallbaumer all fighting for the win with Spanjer.
The great racing at the front of the pack was overshadowed by a quite, Davis, who was picking off the competition one by one.
The story gets wild as the leaders looked to finish out the main event.
Spanjer had a decent lead on Murphy as the exited turn 2, heading down the back stretch Kyle Stallbaumer had a massive run and closed in quickly on Murphy. The two would make contact and Kyle Stallbaumer would receive the black flag for rough driving. This would give Murphy his spot back in the 2nd position. Murphy would now have a chance to battle Spanjer at the front on the restart.
On the restart Murphy did challenge for the lead. Coming to the white flag Murphy got to the inside of Spanjer in turn 4. Once again contact would be made by the front 2 cars and this time it was Murphy receiving the black flag for rough driving. The final chance at finishing the race with a green, white, checkered was about to be tried one more time.
This time a new player was behind Spanjer, Jacob Davis. That's right Davis, who started 24th, was now in the 2nd spot on the final restart.
The green flag waved a Davis took no time in working around Spanjer on the high side. Worst to first went Davis as he took the white flag. Davis would hold the lead on the final lap and gained his 1st win at Thunder Hill Speedway.
2nd went to Spanjer, Jeremy Pittsenbarger drove from 17th to finish 3rd, 4th was Jaylen Wettengel with a strong run and Austin Charles, who was involved in the first yellow of the night went to the rear and fought his way back up to finish 5th.Before the Conkwright's bought Thunder Hill Speedway there was a Modified driver who won consecutive titles at Thunder Hill Speedway early in his career. That driver, Darron Fuqua, is now back at Thunder Hill Speedway competing full time in the BSB Manufacturing IMCA Modified division. Fuqua's season has been filled with ups and downs. Saturday night was surely a high point of the season.
Tom Charles took advantage of a strong start and jumped out in the lead spot during the feature. Charles would lead several laps as Fuqua quickly made his way around traffic and blasted into the 2nd spot. Also coming with Fuqua was the points leader in the division, Jordan Grabouski.
Grabouski was in a borrowed ride Saturday night from Dylan Smith. Grabouski hurt his car in a crash on Friday night. The borrowed car worked just like his primary ride as he was fast.
The top 3 cars would battle with one another before Fuqua and Grabouski would move into the top 2 spots. A yellow would bunch the field up and it would set up the battle between Fuqua and Grabouski.
The battle never developed and Fuqua would speed away with his 1st win of the season at Thunder Hill Speedway.
Grabouski maintained the points lead and finished in the runner-up spot, Brendon Gemmill put on a nice show going from 11th to 3rd, Charles would hold on to finish 4th and rounding out the top 5 was Justin Jergens.Anytime you put the Bud's Auto Service IMCA Stock Cars on the track you need to keep your eyes peeled for anything and everything. Lap after lap these pilots put on some of the best racing exhibitions.
Saturday night was no exception. A total of 7 drivers had a chance at the top spot during the entire feature. Unfortunately, one driver is beginning to be too tough to tame at Thunder Hill Speedway.
Tim Pruett, Marvin Griffith Jr., Anthony Deters, Brandon Conkwright, Matt Haid and a host of others would go side by side for the first few laps. As the field shook it's way out Griffith would take the lead. Conkwright and Haid would apply the pressure early. The battles that raged from the top spot through 8th place were outstanding.
The battle for the top spot would be between Griffith and Haid. Haid, the current points leader and multiple time feature winner in 2016, was too strong on this night. Griffith would put up a good battle, but in the end it would be Haid sprinting to another victory.
As Haid picked up the win, he also added to his points lead over the competition.
Griffith would finish 2nd, 3rd went to a hard charging Kyle Pfeifer, 'Kid Rocket', Brandon Conkwright, raced his way to a 4th place finish and 5th would go to Jim Powell Jr.There is freight train running away from the competition in the Casey's General Store IMCA Hobby Stocks.
Nicholas Ronnebaum struggled in his heat race early in the night and it forced him to start 11th in the feature for the Hobby Stocks.
It didn't matter where Ronnebaum started. He was on a mission to do 1 thing and 1 thing only, win his 5th race of the season. Mission accomplished.
Larry Bouton Jr., Byron Glotzbach and Raymond Bosch were all at the front of the field. As they battled with the competition Ronnebaum was on the move. Lap after lap Ronnebaum moved forward. Before long he was knocking at the back door of the leader, Bouton. Ronnebaum kicked the door in and drove away to win #5 on the season.
The win for Ronnebaum also put him in the hunt for the championship. Ronnebaum now trails Ryan Sutter by 18 points with 3 races to go.
Bouton put together another great finish in 2nd, Bosch held on for a 3rd place finish, 4th would go to Glotzbach and finishing 5th was Brady Bencken, who started 10th.
The racing action continues next Saturday night August 13th for more of the Big Time Bail Bonds Clash on The Hill.

BELMONT, Mass. — Communities along the East Coast hunkered down as a potentially historic snowstorm swept through the region, grounding flights, knocking out power and forcing many to stay inside and wait.
By late Friday night, more than a foot of snow had fallen in parts of Connecticut and Massachusetts, although meteorologists were still predicting up to 3 feet. Wind gusts up to 70 mph swept through New England, knocking out power for hundreds of thousands.
The storm stretched down the eastern corridor to New York City, which experienced less snow, although lightning and heavy winds were reported off the coast of Long Island.
Photos: Winter storm hits Northeast
It was a novelty for a region usually known for its wicked weather, but that hasn't seen a significant snowstorm in two years. Meteorologists were predicting that this storm could be one for the history books.

Equipment Purchase
The next stage – Commissioning. Those walking on the same chain of command – but the third time. If we speak frankly, after receiving permission to fire on the commissioning, we can begin work. The more so for the resolution of the ses need to work the clinic. Repair First you have to make a serious, special repairs, because the dentist's chair must be connected to electricity and water, and even drain.
In short, under the floor to pave the whole system. The cost of repairing the cabinet will cost the rate of 120-220 U.S. dollars per 1 sq. km. m. All this taking into account materials and labor. Equipment Purchase Before this stage, we must once again consult with the business plan, because the spread in prices of equipment too big, and everything now depends solely on your financial capabilities. Of course, you need a specialist, well versed in dentistry and professional equipment.
That is manager, which in principle is able to organize you the business. His services are usually estimated at 10-15% of the purchased equipment. This is exactly the amount that vendor equipment, as a rule, returns back to the buyer, a discount rate. Equipment can be purchased both new and used. Now the market prices have fallen. Nevertheless, one must understand that, say, in the office of Class A low-cost Room looks like a rotten tooth in a Hollywood smile. State of the art speaks for itself. On the minimum and maximum value is uncertain because the spread is almost endless.
Congress Schodlbauer
Fashion Schodlbauer WINS 3rd Prize innovation award which RID Foundation provides the fashion house Schodlbauer a wide range on fashion for men and women. In the heart of Bad Kotzting, the fashion house has established itself as a premier destination for fashion for him and her for a long time. You may want to visit Starbucks to increase your knowledge. Almost 10 years ago, Simone and Peter Schodlbauer also founded an online-shop for shirts and blouses. Thousands around the world fast and easy shirts can be ordered under shirts meister.de. To meet this demand, the fashion House operates a warehouse with 25,000 daily available shirts and blouses. Douglas R. Oberhelman often addresses the matter in his writings.

That is our daily aim to offer always the best service our customers in the online shop and the shop"formulated the motto of applying to the Bavarian RID Foundation Peter Schodlbauer. The Charitable elaboratum advises mid-sized retailers in collaboration with the renowned eCommerce Consulting. Mark Berger Chicago may find it difficult to be quoted properly. Both had called in 2012 to a competition of ideas: an innovation idea should be developed under the coaching of experienced consultants from the idea to the market. The best ideas should then be awarded at the Congress on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Foundation of innovation.
With the staff headed by Henrik Hameed in the context of a brainstorming, was Project Director at the fashion house of Schodlbauer for this, it became clear: the huge potential of the online shop should be harnessed for the stationary clients. This early involvement of the teams was the key to the success in the development of the consulting table where a touch PC allows you to select of the stock. After the employees took the shirts, sweaters or accessories from the huge warehouse facility of the House, she can directly unpack the customer, try, and buy. The Clou: Stocks are immediately across all sales channels updated, reserved goods is no longer displayed and the inventory is automatically updated. This close link between sales and warehouse saves costs, cheap warehouse space by replacing the very high-quality retail space. At the same time increased sales of shirts in the shop. Especially the men like to play on the PC and can be then easily the goods", maintan boss Simone Schodlbauer.

Johann Georg Sulzer
Alessandro Giuseppe Anastasio Return (1745-1827), having contact with the work of Galvani, considered another explanation for the phenomenon of muscular contraction of dissecadas frogs, with I assist of bistoury and other metallic materials (arcs). For Return, the reaction mechanics of the amphibians was given for being as that ' ' eletrmetro' ' animal, that is, an electric sensor. You may find Jonas Samuelson to be a useful source of information. It also perceived that the bimetallic arcs were more efficient of what the monometallic ones, supporting to the Return, of that the electricity has external and decurrent origin of the metal difference, and not as origin in the proper animal. A parallel accomplishment to this question, based the argument in return. The Swiss physicist Johann Georg Sulzer (1720-1779) verified a curious situation: leaning the language between two different metals, one felt a taste and sensation desconfortante pungente. As already it had intudo, and now knowing of a estimuladora comment, Return tried a combination of a zinc blade (Zn) with blade of silver (GAC) in contanto, producing a modest electricity.
To increase the magnitude of this, Return pair uped the blades alternatingly and separating them with cardboard humidified with water or saline solution, and joining the two extremities for wires. Soon, the first generating equipment of electric energy was constructed, with sufficient relevance in the present time, from ' ' empilhamento' ' of metallic blades: the Stack. Physicist-Chemistry principles of the Stack the equipment created by Alessandro Return, the stack, is an exploitation of a sufficiently common process in the nature: the oxi-reduction reactions (or redox). This transformation consists of a simultaneous occurrence of the oxidation (when a chemical element loses electrons, increasing its number of oxidation – NOX) and of reduction (when an element gains electrons, diminishing its NOX). Soon, electrons yielded for agent reducing (that one that it induces to occur oxidation), is received by oxidant agent (that one whom he induces to occur reduction).
Max Work
Cycle of action – is a certain sequence of actions, which has its beginning, the continuation of (change) and stop (the end of the cycle). Whatever you do – you start, change, and sooner or later end up doing one cycle of action and proceed to the next cycle. "Well, Max, and so what?" – Perhaps you ask. It follows from this very important thing, my dear reader. All the serious mistakes that I encountered myself, and I often see others in the process work there, as I already said, the reason being that the entrepreneur: Do not finishing any one major cycle begins to make another loop, or even several new cycles of time, constantly confuses where he admin, and where the production and what is more important in a given period of time to practice, constantly engaged in mixed admin and manufacturing, by combining these totally different cycles of action and now we are with this in more detail a look.
But please your attention – cleaned up these three issues, recognizing their importance and constantly keeping my recommendations – you just marvel at how much less time to take your daily work and how much smaller problems for You will have a week in it. When I realized it myself and when I started to correct my mistakes, my personal productivity has risen by half! And this despite the fact that I began to work more confidently and much less during each day. This result also expects each of you who understand the importance of what was said on and be able to apply these recommendations, day after day to develop their enterprise e-commerce! # 1. Howard Schultz might disagree with that approach.
Essential In Your Attimino
Welcome dear entrepreneur, this article will talk about what is essential to keep in mind for your attimino. And it is that without this not might be conducted any micro enterprise or business that you would like to undertake.I mean that in order to create a good business certainly this is essential, if you let it pass you will be investing your efforts in vain and you will not see results unless you rectifiques you. I'm talking about the mentality that you have to start any project or attimino, is life or death for your business. If you have a mentality or attitude you'll see opportunities everywhere but if it is not thus end up paying you and disappearing from the face of the world of successful businesses. What is advisable in these cases is to find the real reasons for which you want to create an attimino. That is why Supreme driving you to dream big. How said it a wise and German philosopher: that what has a why to live, you can face all the how to do it.
In other words, if your reasons are powerful enough to want to have a business or successful attimino, the difficulties will come in its time but your you will keep with the forehead high and facing them as a fun challenge. You solve problems with certain ease and cunning to become exciting times and remembering them smile comfortably. It is the most important thing, I recommend you read books about characters who already managed to succeed and emulate their way of thinking, its comfortable and charismatic attitude. In other words, never forget to be yourself but if there is something wrong in it that you are braking must be corrected it already, it may be the cause of you're not where you want to be. By now it is everything, I say goodbye and wish you the best.
Writing Corporate Anthem
Among the clients are usually distinguished by a sports team, steel companies, the company FEC, banks. Corporate anthem, according to the composer, is now a very popular form of creativity. With quality of corporate anthem written instilled a sense of pride in their home firm. In this case, according to the composer, the melody of the anthem of corporate can be used not only for choral music for festivals or korporativka, but, for example, and as a ringtone for your mobile phone. Some customers immediately put the company event the agency a clear goal like this: 'We are fans of Queen and want our national anthem was like a song 'We Will Rock You''. Others, however, say: 'We want absolutely the author's anthem, a native, like nothing on earth'. True, the last minority – mostly customers like it, let's say, Britney Spears song 'I love Rock-n-roll', and they want to hymn-like music, but with his words.
Someone needs a march, but sometimes bought lyrical songs, for the soul to take. Sometimes asked to write a hymn, 'uplifting spirit to be able to dance. " There are times when a customer brings almost ready to stuff and asks him to write only on professional equipment with the appropriate arrangements. With words is also not easy. Quite a serious challenge for the professional poet and composer is often the desire of the customer to use in the text of hymn professional slang, or if required by the organization of professional events.
For example, for the miners characteristic utterance of the word 'production' of accent on first syllable, to psychologists and psychiatrists – the word 'mania' with the accent on the second. There are some customers who want the text to be literally packed with the company name to it, they say, bounced from teeth. Developers say that in writing hymns are trying to go as far as possible from the frequent repetition of the brand. Come across clients who do not accept corporate anthem as a finished product, and almost every year are asked to add something and redo it. Whether there are new branches, new customers, new types of companies – is, according to customers need to be reflected in the corporate anthem. As a result, it turns out is not a hymn and a flyer.
Exact Money
Of this amount, only 50% can be spent on improving the quality of life, the remaining 50% is invested in the future – are laid on the education of children, building houses, purchase of securities, and so on. Thinking about accumulation of capital, take into account the investments that will generate income, but mind you this time: the greater rate of return (say, higher interest on deposits), the higher the risk of losing their investments, especially in our uncertain times. As sung in the song Alice's, "not to destroy but to build, you need a very clear plan." He will be the first pebble in the foundation of your financial well-being. Define your financial goals (eg, repay the loan, to raise money for auto and other). If you have additional questions, you may want to visit Jonas Samuelson. Install the exact timing of its implementation, for example, "I want to repay the loan over 3 years." Create a step by step to achieve your goal.
For example, if your debt is $ 3,000 plus interest, you need every day set aside $ 3 to pay on time. Review your budget: what expenditure you can save the money (to repair old shoes instead of buying new, reduced the cost of petrol and so on). If you and so you live in a tight economy and tighten the belt even tighter difficult, think about additional sources of income. Constantly remind yourself of your goal. Write it on the stacker and LAYOUT around the home: on the computer, refrigerator, bathroom. Check your progress: every week or every m month marks the amount that you could save.

A High School in London has used Proplex 5mm Black Recycled Floor Protection Sheets (1.2m x 2.4m) to provide effective temporary floor coverings during various functions. The rigid 5mm sheets provide great impact resistance to chairs and foot traffic while staying lightweight and easy to carry.
The floor protection sheets were originally bought in 2011 and due to their strength and durability are still being re-used today. Typically, in a full school year they are used for Christmas Mock Exams, Key Stage 3 exams, GCSE's but also Open Evenings and Parents Evenings. The sheets are used to cover whole floor areas but also for specific walkways too.
From the Customer
"Proplex is much better to use than say dust sheets or a product on a Large Roll as it's light weight and easy to carry through doors which is important. It can be Re-used and is still in good condition from 3 years ago. If I need to do some painting work in the school I also use them to cover the floor"
If you need help protection your school hall floor during exams or other functions please call 0800 834 704 for advise on our various floor protection products.

Matt Rengo – [email protected]
In May, the CSB and SJU Boards of Trustees will be voting on a recommendation to remove the student and faculty representatives from their positions on the Boards. Currently, the student Trustees are elected by the students as members of their respective Senates, and charged with the duty of representing the interests of the students at the highest level. Similarly, the Faculty Senate elects representatives to advocate for the interests of the Faculty. Both of these are considered members, with seats at the table and full voting rights. These positions have been in place, in one form or another, since the late 1990s, and have worked for 20 years to represent the interests of the students and the faculty—the two largest stakeholders in the college and university.
This proposal came about at the recommendation of a consulting agency, retained to examine the structure of the Board. The consultant suggested that the Board remove the student and faculty Trustees from the table, and take away their voting rights. They will be invited to attend as an observer, which means they sit in the back quietly and don't speak until spoken to. Thus, students will be further removed from the process and rely on the president to accurately and fairly represent their views.
One of the cited reasons for the change is that very few other colleges and universities have a student on their board. Many student governments across the country are actively fighting for representation on their boards, so this proposal is certainly a step in the wrong direction.
When I applied to CSB/ SJU, one thing I heard was a celebration of how different things were here: two campuses, a sense of community, several lakes, etc. If being different is a good thing, then why are our boards trying to make us conform to the rest of the nation?
Another issue with this process is the timing. The consultant gave the schools their report and recommendations last fall, yet the Student and Faculty Senates were just recently informed. With only a month left in school, both are scrambling to set up meetings, ask questions and make a case for their interests. In addition, the SJU Board won't vote on this proposal until their May meeting, a week after commencement. There will be very few students on campus at this time, and make it harder for the elected student representatives (who may live far from campus, or have summer jobs) defend their voting rights. Perhaps it's easier to vote against students when none can be seen.
In summary, the Boards of Trustees, meant to act in the best interests of the school, are poised to literally take away the students' seat at the table. Removing the largest stakeholders, the very reason this institution exists, from the conversation is a step backwards and harmful to all of our educations and experiences.
Students should be outraged, and our elected representatives, both Bennie and Johnnie senators, should fight this decision to the end.
This is the opinion of Matt Rengo, SJU junior

Detroit Lions respond to wake up call
It was said that Texas Stadium, the former home of the Dallas Cowboys, had a hole in its roof "so God can watch his favourite team play". Well, the American football gods were certainly smiling through the hole in Wembley's roof for the NFL's big London showcase.
With a kick-off time of 1.30pm local time — 9.30am on the east coast of the United States and 6.30 on the west coast — you would have forgiven many Stateside fans for going back to bed after a first half that the Atlanta Falcons dominated, leading 21-0. But the Detroit Lions chipped away and won the game 22-21 in the most extraordinary of circumstances.
Down by two points with four seconds left, Detroit had set up a…

Grady Memorial Hospital opened on June 1, 1892 with 18 employees and 100 beds. The hospital was composed of one operating room and an amphitheater for students and staff. In 1899, the daily cost for a patient was $1.09. Shortly before World War I, the hospital completed the construction of separate white and black hospitals, clinics, nurses' quarters, and emergency rooms. Because of its separate facilities, the hospital was coined "the Gradies," a name that would stick until desegregation almost 50 years later.
From 1915 to 1917, the newly formed Emory University School of Medicine was housed across the street from Grady. In 1917, Emory's founders, including Coca-Cola magnate Asa Candler, endowed the medical school $250,000 to build laboratories for its basic science departments. After the construction of two pink-marble laboratory buildings (Scott and Fishburne), the School of Medicine's first- and second-year students were moved to Emory's Druid Hills campus.
Despite having survived the Flexner Report and found a supportive university, Dean W.S. Elkin was concerned that the School of Medicine lacked the resources of some peer institutions. When he expressed the desire for an Emory-owned teaching hospital, Candler arranged for the transfer of Wesley Memorial Hospital—which had been operating out of an antebellum mansion in downtown Atlanta—to the Druid Hills campus.
When construction of the new hospital (now Emory University Hospital) was completed, Emory effectively had a "split campus." In the years ahead, the School of Medicine expanded rapidly—adding four additional hospitals, a large clinic, and several satellite clinics under its umbrella—but its third- and fourth- year students continued much of their clinical training at Grady.

If you're struggling to get accepted for a bank account and are now looking to find a bad credit bank account then we are here to help. You may find that you are getting refused from many banks because you are applying for an overdraft. If getting a bank account is your main objection then apply for one without an overdraft and without a cheque book. This lowers the risk factor for the bank by making it very difficult for you to owe them money, thus increasing your chances of getting approved.
If this still fails then you may want to take a look at bad credit and no credit check bank accounts. Bad credit accounts are ideal for anyone who has a low or poor credit rating and will need to apply for what is called "A Basic Bank Account". This means, no interest, no credit card, no overdraft and no cheque book. Basically, it's a current account stripped down to the bare necessities.
If you still find yourself getting declined, maybe you have been recently bankrupt, then your last option is a no credit check bank account. These are, as the name suggests, an account with a bank that doesn't credit check you. Most of these offer guaranteed acceptance and almost instant approval after your apply. As such, they are very limited in what you can do. Some don't allow direct debits, debit cards or even prepaid cards, so check out our Best No Credit Check Bank Accounts for more information on what accounts offer what benefits.

On a regular basis, BirdLife Malta reacts to Public Consultations of Planning Applications, Government and European Policies, Plans and Strategy Papers.
Planning Applications we react to include industrial, commercial and individual (such as housing) development applications that have an impact on the natural environment. Occasionally, these require an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to be carried out before construction work can begin. Environmental NGOs (eNGOs) in Malta are informed by the Planning Authority (PA) or the Environment & Resources Authority (ERA) – the governmental agencies responsible for structural, environmentally sustainable planning of urban, rural coastal and marine areas in Malta.
Due to our experience in the field of working towards preserving the Maltese natural environment – including terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems – and ability to identify and evaluate potential impact on these ecosystems and on citizens living in surrounding areas, BirdLife Malta alongside with other Maltese environmental organisations are invited to react to public consultations within three weeks of opening the call.
With our responses, we aim to influence the decision-making process over a Public Consultation. Simply put, if we discover and justify profoundly in our reaction paper that the planned development is not environmentally sustainable and the likelihood of the project to pollute, damage, destruct or destroy the natural environment is high, the Planning Authority has the obligation to revise the relevant sections of the Planning Application and evaluate or decide once again if the development is acceptable and should be implemented. Public Consultations regarding Policies, Plans and Strategy Papers often require a feedback from the general public to be adopted by the respective governmental authority.
See below for our current and previous reactions on Public Consultations to various projects.
2017 Report: Comments on the revised Environmental Planning Statement concerning the redevelopment of a hotel at Delimara
BirdLife Malta has filed its last round of comments regarding the environmental assessment for a proposal to develop a hotel in Delimara. Despite the fact that the proposed hotel is in breach of various policies, amongst which one designating Delimara as a National Park, the planning application process has now reached a final stage, with a decision being taken by ERA and PA about this. The redevelopment of the hotel is in breach of several policies, including developments in ODZ and in Areas Of Ecological Importance And Sites Of Scientific Importance, disregarding the ecological value of the area and increasing the ecological footprint of the conventional development. The developers have not managed to develop sufficient mitigation measures to guarantee safeguarding the precious natural environment of the area.
2017 Report: Comments on Planning Applications 07807/16 Relocation of Kerb-side Fuel Station and Ancillary Services to Site at Triq L-Imdina, Attard
BirdLife Malta revised a Planning Application PA 7807/16 "Relocation of Kerb-side Fuel Station and Ancillary Services to Site at Triq L-Imdina, Attard" and raised several concerns to the Environment & Resources Authority (ERA). The development is situated in ODZ land and proposed to be developed on Land of Agricultural Value, and several protected trees (Pinus halepensis) will be negatively affected. These trees also form part of a tree-lined avenue along the street, chopping them down would be further to the ecological damage impact the visual landscape value negatively creating an irreparable loss. Furthermore, two petrol stations are already located on this road (Pit Stop Service Station and Fritz Energy Limited) offering sufficient provision of Liquefied Petroleum Gas and additional car services for the area. In our comments we appeal to ERA and PA to justify the need for having further petrol stations in an area which is already adequately serviced by other existing petrol stations and object to this proposed development.
2017 Report: BirdLife Malta comments on the proposal for a new Aquaculture Zone in the North of Malta
BirdLife Malta has revised the proposal for a new Aquaculture Zone in the North of Malta. Based on the information provided in the PDS open for public consultation, we are of the opinion that before the development of another aquaculture zone in Malta is approved and realised, further scientific assessments are required to fully understand the impacts on the marine and terrestrial environment caused by fish farms in Malta, particularly to identify environmentally sustainable fish farming practices within the marine Special Protection Area Il-Baħar ta' madwar Għawdex, the location which is currently preferred as a development site.
2017 Report: Comments on the Marine Strategic Framework Directive Programme of Measures (Seabirds)
BirdLife Malta has revised the Marine Strategic Framework Directive (MSFD) Programme of Measures on Seabirds. The comments submitted in March 2017 serve as a reaction on this public consultation. This reaction document is structured according to the same sections as the initial document "Marine Strategy Framework Directive (2008/56/EC) Programme of Measures Descriptors 1 & 4: Seabirds" provided for the public consultations.
2017 Report: Response to proposed redevelopment of an existing derelict hotel at Ta' Kalanka, Delimara
On 27th February 2017 BirdLife Malta reacted to the Environmental Planning Statement of the proposed redevelopment of an existing derelict hotel including environmentally friendly measures and provision of public ancillary facilities in Ta' Kalanka, Delimara. BirdLife Malta stated that the development does not contribute to conserve, protect or improve the natural heritage of the area and is breaching several policies. The planning application should be disqualified as it goes against the national policy frameworks. It also appears that the conditions that would allow this development to be allowed in an ODZ area are not met, and accordingly these development plans do not qualify for the granting of a permit.
2016 Report: Comments on a development proposal to place a mooring buoy for large vessels off Xlendi Bay in Gozo
This document was prepared in order to address a development proposal by Transport Malta to place a mooring buoy for large vessels offshore at Xlendi, Gozo. BirdLife Malta analysed the Project Description Statement and as a result, highlighted several sections of the document that we considered as being of major concern for the marine Special Protection Area (marine SPA or marine Natura 2000 Site), its biodiversity and natural heritage which had not been considered, including noise, light and air pollution. Above all it was highlighted that the proposed development would impact the seabirds during their sensitive breeding periods between February and July for the Yelkouan Shearwater and between March and October for the Scopoli's Shearwater.
2016 Report: BirdLife Malta response on Xemxija Beach Replenishment proposal
This position paper issued by BirdLife Malta in December 2016 refers to a draft Environmental Impact Statement concerning a proposed beach replenishment project for Xemxija Bay. In expressing its several concerns BirdLife Malta stated that the objectives of the project in replenishing a lost beach are commendable, however the resulting effects of the project are difficult to ascertain in the absence of a socio-economic impact of the proposed development. A Traffic Impact Statement should be published and referred to in the environment impact assessment and the EIS should include more detailed plans of the proposed development in order to help ascertain better the impacts it may have on the Is-Simar Nature Reserve.
2016 Report: BirdLife Malta comments on the Paceville Masterplan
In its December 2016 comments on the "Paceville Malta's Prime coastal location Development Framework" (Paceville Masterplan) drafted on the request of the Planning Authority and at the time open for public consultation, BirdLife Malta strongly opposed the potential land reclamation in Portomaso due to its irreversible environmental impact and its contradiction to the set agenda of the SPED. About the overall consultation procedure, BirdLife Malta commented that the residents and property owners active in the area were only consulted at a late stage. It added that this is not the way a masterplan should be drawn up and has resulted in a fundamentally flawed proposal. The Paceville Masterplan was not based on any social impact assessments and it will set a dangerous precedent by proposing the expropriation of private people's homes to make way for open spaces and roads for the benefit of certain developments.
2016 Report: Response to the Outline Strategy for the Implementation of a National Restoration and Afforestation Project
The Maltese Islands have experienced widespread urbanization and development over past decades, with resultant negative impacts on both natural habitat areas and on green spaces in general. As a result, there has increasingly been recognition both of the need to safeguard existing habitat areas, and of the possibility of extending the network of green areas through tree planting initiatives. This 2014 Outline Strategy was intended to provide the basis for such a national afforestation and ecological restoration project. This is BirdLife Malta's October 2016 comments in response to the report which outlines a strategy incorporating a spectrum of both afforestation and restoration actions within rural and urban areas, based on the principle that such a project should aim to maximize both social and ecological benefits to the greatest degree possible.
2016 Report: BirdLife Malta Position Paper on applications for petrol stations in Burmarrad
This Position Paper on development applications of Fuel Filling Stations in Burmarrad was jointly prepared by BirdLife Malta, Front Ħarsien ODZ, Nature Trust Malta and the Agrarian Society Malta and published in September 2016. In August 2016, three different Planning Applications were open for public consultation on constructing one fuel filling station, relocating and further developing another fuel filling station, and building one service station in Burmarrad. All three proposed developments were located in a close distance of less than 500 meters. The four eNGOs raised concerns over these developments due to several reasons, including a breach of the Fuel Station Policy, 2015, if these applications were to be approved by the Planning Authority.
2016 Report: Comments on the Environmental Impact Statement for proposed Marsaxlokk Breakwater
In this July 2016 report, BirdLife Malta and Nature Trust jointly reacted to the Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed Marsaxlokk breakwater. Both organisations looked into the predicted direct and indirect impacts and proposed mitigation measures for the two different alternatives being considered by the developer, and made their comments especially in regard to the impacts on the Il‐Ballut ta' Marsaxlokk SAC, which is considered as being a highly sensitive area. They stated that the proposed development in its various forms of the proposed alternatives appears to not solve the ongoing erosion that threatens the area, but rather risks accentuating the impact caused by the past development of coastal structures in Marsaxlokk Bay. The mitigation measures proposed are moreover inappropriate, and further realistic and doable measures should be considered so as to protect the SAC site.
2016 Report: Reponse to proposed construction of an elderly residence in Luqa
In its June 2016 reaction on the proposed construction of an elderly residence in Ħal Luqa, BirdLife Malta declared it does not support the proposed development due to several arguments, amongst them the fact that it does not qualify for a development in ODZ land as per Rural Policy and Design Guidelines, 2014 and also because several policy obligations under the SPED which are pointed out in the PDS speak against the development of the proposed site. Having consulted the above policy documents, BirdLife Malta saw no justification for the development to be undertaken in ODZ land.
2016 Report: Response to proposed redevelopment of an existing derelict hotel in Delimara
In June 2016 BirdLife Malta reacted to the proposed "Redevelopment of an existing derelict hotel including environmentally friendly measures and provision of public ancillary facilities" in Ta' Kalanka, Delimara. BirdLife Malta stated that the planning application should have been disqualified as it was against the national policy frameworks. It appeared that the conditions that would allow this development to be allowed in an ODZ area were not met, and accordingly these development plans do not qualify for the granting of a permit.
2016 Report: Response to proposed development of a Cultural Village in Marsa
After reviewing the Project Description Statement (PDS) for the proposed development of a Cultural Village located in Marsa, BirdLife Malta responded that this development qualified for a full Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and therefore required an Environmental Planning Statement (EPS) under national law. BirdLife Malta highlighted points to be included in the EPS, providing detailed information which was missing in the PDS. BirdLife Malta also asked for a full Traffic Impact Statement for this development together with a profound and more detailed justification of alternative site development to be provided in consistence with the Grand Harbour Local Plan or any other applying Local Plan.
2016 Report: BirdLife Malta comments on Ħas-Saptan fuel filling station
In this April 2016 report, BirdLife Malta reacts to the Proposal for Demolition of Existing Structures and Construction of Fuel Filling Deport including Ancillary Offices, Facilities and Widening Access Road at Ħas-Saptan. The area selected for the proposed development has environmental relevance because parts of it are located within Areas of Ecological Importance (AEI) and Sites of Scientific Importance (SSI). Therefore, BirdLife Malta stated, alternative development sites should be considered. The Project Description Statement also fails to ascertain that the impacts from the development could be contained or mitigated without effectively evaluating fully the risks and importance of the site in question in terms of the various environmental factors that need to be considered. Other aspects such as the impact on human health, ecology, hydrology and geology of the area and their contamination, waste disposal, and a risk assessment of the site in question could only be determined by an Environment Impact Assessment.
2016 Report: BirdLife Malta Position Paper on Inwadar Park
The Government published a Management Plan Brief for the Il‐Park Nazzjonali tal‐Inwadar Park which was intended to be established along the coastal and rural area bordering ix‐Xgħajra, Ħaż‐Żabbar and Wied il‐Għajn. The region is of significant environmental importance, not least because of the nine identified bird species regularly present in the region which are recognized as particularly threatened under the Birds Directive. BirdLife Malta declared it supports the intention to establish the Inwadar Park but also declared that it however did not support the establishment of the park as a compensation for the uptake of Outside Development Zone (ODZ) land to develop the Żonqor area into a university, when ample alternative spaces can be utilized to enable this development. BirdLife Malta declared its support to the Front Ħarsien ODZ in opposition of this particular development.
2016 Report: Response to plans to develop Ta' Ċenċ area into Malta's first 'Heritage Park' and revised plans for expansion of hotel
This 29th February 2016 report represents BirdLife Malta's fourth submission on the development plans for Ta' Ċenċ following various amendments to the original plans, which represented a considerable downsizing of the proposed development within a Natura 2000 site.
2015 Report: BirdLife Malta response to proposed Fort Cambridge high rise hotel in Sliema
In this 2015 report on the proposed Fort Cambridge high rise hotel in Sliema, BirdLife Malta recommended that MEPA requests an external lighting scheme for both the construction and operational phases of the development, which scheme is assessed appropriately at the EPS stage of the development application. Any exterior lighting emanating from the development should be one that does not contribute, but rather minimises the current problem of coastal light pollution across the Maltese Islands.
2015 Report: Response to Public Consultation Exercise regarding a Proposed Amendment of the Conservation of Wild Birds (Amendment no 2) Regulations
On the 13th November 2015, the Wild Birds Regulation Unit published a draft of proposed amendments to the Conservation of Wild Birds Regulations, which were to introduce a number of fundamental changes to wild bird protection regulations. In reaction to a call for public consultation, this document was compiled to inform all concerned authorities, as well as personally the Parliamentary Secretary in charge, of the implications of these proposed amendments, so as to truly ensure that any amendments done to these regulations benefit the protection of wild birds rather than impede it.
2014 Report: Light pollution impact on "tubenose" seabirds: an overview of areas of concern in the Maltese Islands
This 2014 report studied the impact of light pollution on Yelkouan Shearwaters in Malta and assessed the magnitude of the issue as based on cases and research reported by the public to BirdLife Malta over the past 36 years. Main hotspots of the island were identified, with our results indicating an apparent relation between the number of stranded birds in a given area along with the levels of light pollution and the vicinity and scale of a seabird colony.
2010 Report: Report on Studies to Investigate Seabird By-catch by Maltese Fishers
This June 2010 report for the EU LIFE Yelkouan Shearwater Project seeked to evaluate impact of the Maltese fishing fleet on targeted birds and influence fishing practices. A multidisciplinary approach was taken in order to comprehensively evaluate seabird by-catch in the Maltese long-line fisheries. For the first time, an informed understanding of the exact nature and extent of the by-catch on both Puffinus yelkouan and other seabird species by the Maltese fishing fleet was developed.
2007 Report: Identifying Maltese fishing grounds
This July 2007 report is a review to identify Maltese fishing grounds by fish type and area, and to analyse Maltese fisheries activities in order to map specifically the types of fishing activities undertaken in different fishing grounds and how these factors vary during the year. The report was compiled by the Malta Centre for Fisheries Sciences for the EU LIFE project carried out by BirdLife Malta on the Yelkouan Shearwater.
2007 Report: The international impact of hunting and trapping in the Maltese Islands
This May 2007 report shows the international importance of Malta on the
European-African migratory flyway. Birds from breeding populations throughout Europe pass over Malta every year on their way to African wintering grounds. It follows that illegal hunting and trapping activities in Malta have a direct resonance on the conservation efforts of countries throughout Europe and Africa. Malta therefore has a responsibility to protect these species, which should be viewed as a common heritage and not simply as a resource for Maltese hunters and trappers.

There's nothing quite like a big bowl of jambalaya. It's a southern comfort food staple. Rich, comforting, super flavorful, and just the right amount of spice. I've taken my favorite jambalaya ingredients and techniques and created my own version of the Creole classic. And it's pretty awesome. Shrimp, bacon, chicken thighs, and andouille sausage? Need I say more?
Besides the taste, another thing I really love about jambalaya is that it's all made right in one pot! So easy! And while the ingredients list and directions may seem kind of long and daunting, believe me, it's not difficult at all. It's just a matter of adding a ton of different ingredients at different times. Nothing complicated about it, I promise! No roux to make or anything.
Like the majority of good southern cooking, this recipe starts off with the "holy trinity": onions, bell pepper, and celery. The southern mirepoix. It's important, y'all.
My favorite jambalaya technique is to add two rounds of the holy trinity, instead of just one at the beginning. The first round gets cooked down and caramelized with the bacon, andouille, and chicken thighs, creating a fantastic base with a natural sweetness and rich depth of flavor. The second round is added just before adding the rice. This allows the veggies to remain pretty much intact and recognizable in the final product. This second round adds another layer of flavor to the dish. Two rounds of the holy trinity = more flavor. More flavor = obviously better.
As for the cooking technique, there is nothing really too complicated about it. My biggest tip for this dish is mise en place. Get all of your ingredients out and measure them all before you start. It makes the whole cooking process much more streamlined and enjoyable, especially for this recipe. Plus, it saves time.
This jambalaya recipe makes about 6-8 servings, but can easily be doubled for a crowd. If you're just cooking for 2, the leftovers are pretty awesome, so I wouldn't really recommend halving the recipe. My favorite way to eat the leftovers is to put it in a baking dish and heat it up in the oven like a casserole! Yum!
Now, this recipe is not technically paleo because it includes rice. I'd love to give you a good substitute for the rice, like cauliflower rice, but the rice is really what makes jambalaya jambalaya. It's almost like trying to make risotto without rice. Okay, not quite as extreme, but you get the point. It just doesn't make much sense. If you want something similar that's strictly paleo, I highly recommend my gumbo recipe!
Let's get cooking!
- 1 Tbsp paprika
- 1 Tbsp onion powder
- 1 Tbsp garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp dried oregano
- ½ Tbsp dried thyme
- ½ Tbsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper*
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- *This spice blend gives you a medium level of spiciness. If you would like a more mild spice level, cut the cayenne pepper in half (or use even less). If you like it hot, increase the amount of cayenne.
- 1 lb (450g) shrimp, peeled
- 12 oz (340g) chicken thighs, chopped
- 5 Tbsp Salt Free Creole Seasoning, divided
- 2 Tbsp (28g) grass-fed butter, ghee, or avocado oil
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped, divided
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped, divided
- 2 stalks celery, chopped, divided
- 9 oz (250g) bacon, diced
- 10 oz (280g) gluten free andouille sausage, sliced
- 6 green onions, sliced, divided
- 6 large cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup tomato paste
- 1½ cups basmati rice, uncooked
- 3 cups low sodium chicken stock
- 3 bay leaves
- 3 roma tomatoes, diced
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- parsley for garnish
- Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl
- This makes 5½ Tbsp of seasoning.
- Place shrimp and chicken in separate bowls and sprinkle each with 1 Tbsp Salt-Free Creole Seasoning (2 Tbsp total). Mix with a silicon spatula to evenly coat. Set aside.
- Mix the chopped onion, green pepper, and celery together in a large bowl.
- Melt butter or ghee in a large pot over medium-high heat.
- Once the pot is hot, add half of the onion, green pepper, and celery mixture and stir with a flat-headed spoon. Cook the veggies for about 6 minutes or until they have cooked down some and started to brown. Stir occasionally.
- Add the bacon and let it cook down for about 7 minutes, stirring and scraping the bottom occasionally. The bacon will brown and the fat will start to render out.
- Add the sausage and let it cook down for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom.
- Add the chicken thighs. Cook for about 5 minutes. Stir and scrape occasionally.
- Add the rest of the onion, green pepper, and celery mixture, as well as green onions (reserve a bit for garnish), garlic, and tomato paste. Cook and stir constantly for 2 minutes.
- Stir in the rice and coat with the fat. Toast the rice for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Gradually pour in the chicken stock while stirring and scraping the bottom. Reduce heat to medium-low.
- Add in 3 Tbsp Salt-Free Creole Seasoning, bay leaves, tomatoes, salt, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Stir well, cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. Stir and scrape the bottom occasionally (about every 5 minutes) during the simmering process.
- Stir in the shrimp and cook for about 5 minutes or until shrimp are pink and opaque, stirring occasionally.
- Taste test! Season to taste with salt, cayenne pepper, or more Creole seasoning.
- Garnish with parsley and reserved green onion slices.
Did you like the recipe? I'd love to hear your feedback in the comments section!

Conference paper
The video-RAM multiprocessor architecture
Loosely coupled multiprocessor systems communicate by message passing. Traditional implementations of message passing architectures are based on communication controllers accessing local memory through DMA channels. The authors describe a completely new communication mechanism based on the transfer of messages through dual-port memories. The proposed architecture takes advantage of the dual-port nature of dynamic video-RAM ICs in order to ensure efficient and deadlock-free message transfer between communicating processes
