The holiday cookies continue & Rugelach is one of my favourites! For years I thought my mom spent hours making these. So when I asked her how to make them I was shocked to learn just how easy they are. Wasted years.😂 Watch me make it here.
Rugelach w/Apricot Filling
- 4 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
- 1/8 cup granulated sugar, plus 4 tbsp (Optional: 1 tsp cinnamon for the plus sugar)
- 1/8 tsp salt, omit if using salted butter
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- Apricot Filling/Jam:
- 1 cup chopped dried apricots
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 -1/2 cup brown sugar, depends how sweet you want your filling
- 1/4 cup brandy, optional
- Filling:
- Place the ingredients in a small pot. Bring to a boil. About 3-4 minutes.
- Lower to a simmer uncovered, until most of the liquid is evaporated. Approximately 20-25 minutes.
- Cool and pulse, in a food processor. Or if you like a chunkier filling, mash with a spoon or fork.
- The cookie:
- Cream the cheese & butter in an electric mixer or by hand, until light and fluffy. About 4-5 minutes.
- Add sugar, salt & vanilla. Mix for about 20-30 seconds.
- With the mixer on low or by hand add the flour. Mixing just until combined.
- The dough is very soft.
- Gather into a ball. Cut in half, if doubling the recipe, wrapping each piece in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. You can make this a day or 2 in advance.
- Remove from fridge, for about 10-15 minutes before rolling out.
- On a floured surface, roll out each ball to a 9-inch-ish circle. You can trim the circle if it's not perfect or leave it, as is.
- Spread each circle with 4 tbsp of filling. Or more or less. Then cut each circle into 12 wedges.
- Cut the circle first and then add the filling. Your choice.
- Roll up from the widest end, to the narrowest end.Tucking the narrowest corner under. That should be touching the cookie sheet.
- Sprinkle tops of cookies with reserved sugar.
- Chill on tray, in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
- Bake in a pre-heated oven of 350°F, for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. Watch the cookies, the sweet filling can burn easily.
- Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Optional: You can mix 1 tsp of cinnamon into the sugar, that is sprinkled onto the cookies.
These cookies freeze very well. Up to 3 months. Wrapped well.
Add store bought/homemade jam; nuts; dried fruits or a chocolate spread.

Bending him to him, Jehanna ran her hand over her cheek, chin with stiff bristles, looked into her eyes, then kissed him hard. From the touch of her lips, Hamish groaned passionately. And this groan excited Jehannah incredibly.

And my body seemed to me a kind of pathetic remnant: no breasts, no thighs, and short legs-you:

"So, you said everything," she said, looking at me attentively. She sat in a soft chair, cross-legged, with a large glass of her favorite tea with ice and lemon. Honestly, her appearance, when the door opened, hit hard in the eyes: it seemed, except for the shirt and rubber bath slippers on it was nothing. Or maybe it was. The short plaid shirt was barely reaching the middle of the thighs, looking at which I immediately remembered the legs of my sister, where the same length was in harmony with the fullness, creating an irresistible impression.
My aunt and I ran away from the station, and the rain was already pouring down!
"I said go out." Or I will strangle you a second time, but forever.
I made children's eyes and looked with irony at Marinka. She grinned and went forward. I had no choice but to show my tongue behind my back.

Hurt Feelings.
Broken Friendships.
We have all been there.
I can list several friendships that have ended prematurely due to hurt feelings and misplaced words. I have heard from girlfriends, and even said myself time and time again, that healthy relationships with other women are often the hardest to find and sometimes the most difficult to maintain.
Sarah Harmony-Powell and Rebecca Barth have written a Bible Study titled "It's Just a Little Gossip…Letters of a Broken Friendship" after choosing "restoration over resentment and peace over pride". They have painted a beautiful and engaging story of healed friendship in a raw, transparent, and authentic way. Love and understanding pours from their words and thoughts. It took great bravery and courage to be vulnerable in order that others might benefit. Their hearts' desire is to help other women who are struggling to heal broken relationships.
Sarah and Rebecca's reflections have made me aware of the "harmless gossip" in my life. I find myself being more mindful of my tongue and idle talk. Their words spotlight for me, in a modern illustration, these verses:
Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit. Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. (Psalm 34:13-14)
This study could be done in a women's small group or even on your own. It is direct, to the point, easy to read, brief – yet poignant, thoughtful, and cuts to the core of the issues. Well based in Scripture, it contains thoughtful questions for personal reflection and group discussion.
These three images especially resonated with me while reading "It's Just a Little Gossip…Letters of a Broken Friendship".
The harmful gossip I speak of my children to family and/or friends, like comparing them to other children, or idly talking about mistakes they make, or discussing their failures at school. What if they overheard what I was saying about them?
The timeline presented as the reader moves through the ten chapters. It took several years for Sarah and Rebecca to mend their relationship. I appreciate that they intentionally included dates in the title of each chapter. This illustrates for the reader that healing takes time. I believe this is important for us all to realize. The Lord works slowly and purposefully through our pain and trials. We cannot rush God or ourselves along a predetermined timeline to forgiveness and healing.
The conversations these two women have with God laying out their internal struggles and pain. The format of the study allows the reader to see that through these intimate conversations with Christ, the Lord worked in mysterious ways. Therefore, neither Sarah nor Rebecca take credit for the healing. God is glorified through their testimony.

You're being watched: Facebook privacy update means everything you browse is now tracked
Facebook's privacy policy has changed and is now able to monitor your activity on any website. The new rules arrive as Facebook goes to even greater lengths to deliver lucrative advertising to consumers.
The new privacy policy was rolled out on January 30, and Facebook does not ask users to opt-in or agree to the new policy. Rather, it is automatically in effect as soon as they next log in. The changes mean that Facebook gathers data on which websites you visit, what links you click, and your session length, so that it can use the data to present more relevant adverts to your personal interests.
"When we ask people about our ads, one of the top things they tell us is that they want to see ads that are more relevant to their interests," wrote Facebook on its newsroom blog back in June last year. It's also worth noting that this functionality is standard on many other major websites.
However, according to thestar.com, the updated privacy policy has alerted the EU's privacy watchdog, which believes that users should have a choice on whether they accept or decline the new rules.
Facebook users do have the option to opt-out of the policy by contacting the Digital Advertising Alliance in the US, or the UK or Canada equivalent. This means that Facebook won't target you with personalized ads. The changes will be in affect on Android phones and tablets too. However, Facebook will still gather the data.
Recently, Android users have had their data threatened by a new wave of adware which was hidden within popular apps in the Play Store and infiltrated millions of devices. It has been a rocky week for privacy on Android.
What do you think of the new Facebook privacy policy? Are you worried about the implications of its user-activity tracking? Or are you happy to receive better ads?
7 comments
If you must use Facebook via a browser, simply dedicate a new, standalone browser to only Facebook use. Open links in another browser, which has no Facebook account activated on it. That way, Facebook cannot track your activities on other sites.
I guess targeted is better than random. I would really hate to give up FB, it means a lot to me. Google Now knows me, why not Facebook? :)
Doesn't turning off third-party cookies turn this off?
This is why i already delete the fcking facebook
Haha a "rocky week" for android? this is nothing compared to Apple's privacy flaws. Both situations could have happened to anyone, android just drew the short stick. Even after this, I would still never go to Apple just because of their proven security flaws.
I've found a way to opt out. delete Facebook!
There should be a way to completely opt out of it.

Have you had a crazy week too? I've had a travelling husband, school Craft Fair meeting (always fun, and we get heaps done!), early starts for school excursion and Fencing lessons, a few late nights finishing off Mother's Day projects, frantic working on swaps for Convention, a lovely Mother's Morning Tea function yesterday, Rugby training, and now......peace. Until my daughter emerges from the shower and I have to start combing her hair for nits! Argh!
But enough about me, on to the cards! If you missed my Mother's Day Class the other week, this is what you missed:
I forgot to take a photo of the matching boxes!
I just love how everyone made their cards just a little differently and added their own touches.
Great work girls!
We used the clear mount Vintage Vogue set - everyone loved using them!

Quality of life issues including the availability of services and living conditions significantly influence the extent to which people are willing to return or re-locate to rural areas to live and work. While key service provision is properly addressed through integrated actions by mainstream government services, certain quality of life initiatives specifically targeted towards rural communities can be addressed under this measure. Such initiatives must demonstrate complementarity with, and avoid duplication of, broader service provision as articulated in the specific chapter on the rural economy in the National Development Plan 2007-2013. In this context lack of adequate cultural and leisure facilities in some rural communities is a significant impediment to their further development.
Programme Objective
To identify and provide appropriate cultural and leisure facilities to local communities, not otherwise available to them.
Funding Policy
West Cork Development Partnership has a defined funding policy for this measure, which you can read here.
1. West Cork Drama Festival, St. Mary's Theatre, Rossmore
2. Clonakilty Allotments
3. Ballinacarriga Lisbealad Community Centre
Eligible activities
For capital and other projects promoted by community groups or private individuals, 75% to a maximum grant of up to €150,000 (with the exception of Analysis and Development which is 90% to a max of €30,000) . In exceptional circumstances, and subject to the prior written approval of the Department, grant aid up to €200,000 may be awarded to projects.
Initiatives will broadly address the provision of:
- Amenity and leisure facilities
- Support for cultural activities
- Certain arts facilities
- General community and recreational infrastructure
- Innovative activities in local communities such as social and information networks etc.
- All assessments and actions should be carried out in consultation and agreement with the appropriate local authorities. Any equipment, activities or infrastructure provided must be available and accessible to all age and social groups in the community concerned.
Support for the development of youth cafés in remote rural areas is permitted.
Ineligible activities
Mainstream activities of sports organisations and bodies are excluded from support under this measure.

Lightweight Mobile Web Designs Created by the Expert Design & Development Team at Socius Marketing
Seemingly everyone nowadays has a smartphone in their pocket, so it's no surprise that ever larger shares of website traffic are coming from these devices. What many business owners don't consider, however, is that the same website that's worked incredibly well for their users in the past may not provide the same experience for the users of these devices. Sites need to account for the fact users on their mobile devices don't want to use as much data, won't have the same processing power as they would on a PC, and can't always navigate pages as easily.
With many skilled coders and designers on staff, Socius Marketing can create the types of sites that are easy for mobile users to access without forcing you to use a pre-made system that looks completely different from your main site. We'll create a separate mobile domain that automatically loads when someone accesses your website from a smartphone, mirroring your entire site to present its information in a format that's clearly readable for mobile users. Some of the features we may incorporate into your mobile design include:
- Alternative menu systems, optimized for touch screens
- Different text size and font to ensure readability
- Fewer images and videos to cut down on data usage
- Contact features that make it easy for users to call or e-mail with just a tap
- And more
In addition to traditional mobile designs, our company is also a pioneer in creating responsive web designs. Unlike mobile designs that mirror your website with a different skin, responsive designs are coded to automatically adapt themselves to whatever device they're accessed on. After detecting a device's viewing resolution (which generally indicates whether a user is on a phone, tablet, or PC), they'll automatically load the right features to create the best possible experience for its user.
Our team will be happy to provide you with a free website analysis and explain how our mobile or responsive designs can improve its performance. In fact, we even have case studies that show the dramatic effect these solutions have had for many of our previous customers.
For more information and to see examples of just what a difference Socius Marketing's advanced mobile and responsive web designs can make for your business's website, contact us today.

Forrest Gump Theme – Baritone Ukulele Cover
Forrest Gump. The music was written by Alan Silvestri. He composed the soundtrack of the Predator movies and many more. I played the song on my Ortega RUE14FMH baritone ukulele. The ukulele is tuned in Open G, which I described here. I used a ZoomQ3HD for recording. Here's a great rendition by Max Chan. When I just heard the picking in the beginning I thought he's a uke player too. But no ! This guy is a gifted violinist. So no frets at all.This is my rendition of the theme song from the film

'Thoracic Ultrasound' has been published based on the second Italian edition of the book. However it is not a simple reproduction in English of the italian text. This book has been entirely revised and adequately updated and expanded. This work has been reviewed not only because of the rapid growth of clinical knowledge about chest ultrasound methodology, which has recently analyzed and improved mainly by the author's group. According to this approach, ultrasound is seen as an absolutely necessary integration of clinical reasoning, aimed at a better diagnostic accuracy and essential for effective and economic monitoring procedures. Therefore, this book is not a text on imaging, but a clinical aid that, based on the principles of ultrasound, can allow the clinicians working on critical respiratory patients or with hemodynamic instability, to improve their diagnostic, therapeutic, operational and monitoring performance. "Thoracic Ultrasound" was originally written and dedicated to Emergency physicians. From the edition of 2006 till today, many other specialists have appreciated this method of investigation, applicable on any patient in any moment of their clinical pathway. The need and the opportunity to expand a limited use of chest ultrasound has indicated different applications, also useful for Pulmonologists, Internists, Pediatricians, Surgeons, Cardiologists. While being especially useful for Critical Care and Emergency Phisicians, "Thoracic Ultrasound" was updated, including different applications not only linked to emergency. In these cases, employing a specific terminology and semiotics, respectful of purely pneumological and internist clinics, and integrated in the traditional radiological lexicon.

Thousands pay last respects for fallen Brier officer
Published 10:00 pm, Tuesday, September 19, 2006
EDMONDS -- Eddie Thomas and Chris Herrera prepared for their future careers when they were in grade school, playing bicycle cops in their Lynnwood apartment complex.
Equipped with toy microphones and handcuffs, "we'd ride around on patrol," Herrera recalled Wednesday. "Anytime we saw suspects, which was any other kid, we'd throw on the siren, chase 'em down and handcuff 'em."
As real-life police officers, the two men often celebrated two decades of friendship over drinks at Applebee's in Lynnwood, toasting "20 (years) down and 20 more to go."
The realization that the second half of their toast will never occur brought tears to Herrera's eyes as he spoke at a memorial service for Thomas amid a sea of uniformed officers.

More than 1,300 people -- including hundreds of personnel from more than 30 police, fire and other public safety agencies, as well as the U.S. Coast Guard, filled Westgate Chapel. A huge motorcade preceded and followed the service.
Thomas died Sept. 12 while responding to a medical emergency call at the home of former Brier Mayor Gary Starks, who was booked into the Snohomish County jail on suspicion of third-degree assault and later released on his own recognizance.
The county medical examiner conducted an autopsy, but the cause and manner of Thomas' death were pending further investigation.
The body of Thomas, who died 15 days before his 29th birthday, arrived in a hearse preceded by bagpipers and a black horse with no rider.
He was remembered during the service as a go-getter with a magnetic smile and a selfless heart, someone who knew how to apply for government grants and make things happen.
Brier Police Chief Don Lane said that Thomas' optimism was evident their first meeting, when he told the chief that "all I need is a badge, gun and a car and I am ready to go."
Lane said he would come to work and find 20 e-mail messages from Thomas, telling him about his "new vision for the police department" and "how he was going to get everything for free. And he did."
Lane said another Brier officer joked that if the chief told Thomas at 5 p.m. that he wanted a police helicopter, "you would have had one sitting in the parking lot when you arrived at 7 a.m. with Brier Police Department stickers on it -- and Eddie standing there in a flight uniform saying, 'Chief, let's go for a ride.'"
Brier Mayor Bob Colinas said officers in small towns become like friends and family. He remembered Thomas' desire to become the city's first motorcycle officer, even though the department had no bike. "He said, 'I think I can get us a deal. Mayor, I think I can get one for a dollar,'." Colinas said.
Thomas also talked about bringing an Explorer Scout program back to Brier, crediting the program in Edmonds for pointing him toward a law enforcement career.
A cousin, Lovell Richardson, whose stepfather died last year, said Thomas spoke at his stepfather's service and declared that "we as a family need to strengthen our bonds.
"The youngest of the cousins speaking with the wisdom of an elder statesman," said Richardson, who credited Thomas with inspiring him to change careers and work in law enforcement.
"He accomplished in 28 years of life what many could not do in 80," Richardson said.
Thomas grew up in south Snohomish County, graduating from Mountlake Terrace High School. He earned an associate's degree in criminal justice from Everett Community College and also attended Crown College in Tacoma.
He worked for several small police departments, including a four-year stint in Darrington for the Sauk-Suiattle police force, before joining the Brier department in January. He also was a petty officer in the Coast Guard Reserve and was a member of the Seattle-based Maritime Safety and Security Team.
Thomas, whose given name was Edwanton, was born on Sept. 12, 1977, to Diane and Eddie Lee Thomas. Besides his parents, survivors include his girlfriend, Rita Kimborowicz, and her children, Joshuah and Madeline Kimborowicz; brother Michael Thomas; sisters Michelle Allred and Kala Garnett; and grandparents Lucius Allen, Marie Stephens and Wille-May Richardson.
To help the family with expenses, memorials may be given to the Edwanton Thomas Memorial Fund at any branch of Sterling Savings Bank.

Riot Games is an American video game developer, publisher, and eSports tournament organizer established in 2006. Their main office is based in West Los Angeles, California. They currently have additional game development studios and offices located in Berlin, Dublin, Hong Kong, Istanbul, Mexico City, Moscow, New York City, St. Louis, Santiago, São Paulo, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, Sydney, Taipei, and Tokyo.[1]
The company is primarily known for League of Legends, which was released in North America and Europe on October 27, 2009.[5] The company developed a free mobile game called Blitzcrank's Poro Roundup, which was released on iOS, and Android in August 2015. Riot is also involved in League of Legends' competitive eSports scene by organizing the League of Legends World Championship and Championship Series for Europe and North America, as well as coordinating the filming and broadcasting of those events. They also sanction leagues organized by third parties in other regions across the world.
Riot Games was founded as an indie game developer in 2006 by Brandon "Ryze" Beck and Marc "Tryndamere" Merrill in Los Angeles.[6] The company announced its only game, League of Legends: Clash of Fates, in October 2008,[7] and released the game in October 2009 as simply League of Legends. Their game uses a free-to-play model, supported by microtransactions rather than ads or boxed copy sales.
In 2008, Riot Games obtained initial funding of US$7 million provided by venture capital firms Benchmark Capital and FirstMark Capital.[8] In a second round of funding in 2009, the company raised $8 million from Benchmark, FirstMark, and Chinese technology company Tencent Holdings.[9][10] In early 2011, Tencent Holdings bought out a majority stake in Riot Games.[11][12] Tencent later reported the deal was for $231,465,000 in an interim report.[13]
Employees at the company include veterans of Defense of the Ancients, such as the former lead developer Steve "Guinsoo" Feak, and the former official DotA-Allstars.com website founder Steve "Pendragon" Mescon.[14] Riot Games also employs some former Blizzard Entertainment employees.[6] On July 12, 2013, Business Insider named Riot Games #4 on its list of the top 25 technology companies to work for in 2013.[15]
On November 8, 2013, Riot Games announced that the company would relocate to a new building in West Los Angeles in 2015.[16]
On December 16, 2015, Riot Games sold its remaining equity to Tencent Holdings.[17][18]
On March 8, 2016, Riot announced its acquisition of Radiant Entertainment.[19]
On October 13, 2017, Riot Games' co-founders Beck and Merrill announced that they are currently working on a new game, aiming to create new experiences for video game and eSports players, while handing over the day-to-day operations and overall management of the massive League of Legends' team to their three longtime employees, Dylan Jadeja, Scott Gelb, and Nicolo Laurent.[20]

Riot Games has already released and distributed League of Legends in Hispanic America, Australia, the United States, Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Canada, South Korea, Taiwan, China, Europe, Brazil, Japan, and Indonesia.[21] In China, Riot's primary shareholder Tencent Inc. distributes the game online. In Southeast Asia, online game service provider Garena publishes League of Legends. In North America, Riot Games self-publishes and operates the game and all of its customer service aspects.
In Europe, Riot Games originally signed an international licensing partnership with GOA, a division of Orange S.A.. On October 13, 2009, GOA and Riot announced that they would start channelling server access for players located in Europe, to GOA's dedicated servers. This restriction meant that players located in Europe would not be able to play on Riot's servers in the United States. Due to negative community feedback, the channelling decision was rescinded October 16, 2009. On May 10, 2010, Riot Games announced that they would take over distribution and operation of the game in Europe. To do so, Riot Games established a European headquarters in Dublin.[22]
On July 19, 2012, Riot Games launched the official Closed Beta Test servers for League of Legends Greece. The game has been fully localised, including translated menus, texts, subtitles, with all characters being dubbed. On April 16, 2013, Riot Games launched the official Open Beta Test servers for League of Legends Russia.

Gentlemen of the Press,
Thank you for taking time to attend this press briefing.
Perchstone & Graeys is pleased to announce that, in collaboration with the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI; India's largest and oldest apex chamber of commerce), it will be convening the 2nd edition of its India Nigeria Business Forum (INBF) themed "Changing the levers of emerging economies: Rigs to Chips".
This edition, which is scheduled to take place on September 10 – 11, 2015 in Mumbai, India, will focus on Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and how this can be harnessed to widen the space of commercial opportunities and deepen the exchange of best practices between Nigeria and India. This year's theme takes account of the strides India has recorded in ICT and how it has established itself as a global ICT leader. This is, of course, coming at a time when Nigeria's rebased GDP indicates that about 10% (or $50billion) is attributable to ICT. In view of the fact that ICT is an indispensable enabler to all sectors of the economy, its share of contribution to Nigeria's GDP is likely to witness a steady upswing. In practical terms, this will mean more jobs, skill acquisition and transfer and overall positives for Nigeria. We rightly believe that there are obvious synergies which can be built between both Nigeria and India around ICT and this is partly what informed the initiation of the INBF as a private sector platform through which businesses from both countries can explore new opportunities.
The first day will be devoted to a conference plenary session discussing broad policy issues and will feature sessions on matters of broad ICT policy and financing. To wrap up, there will be a brief business-to-business (B2B) matchmaking session. The attendees will also be hosted to a cocktail later that evening. The second day will be dedicated to exclusive networking and business-to-business (B2B) matchmaking in which companies and business leaders from Nigeria are invited to network with their Indian counterparts, sharing competences and creating new commercial opportunities. We have secured, among other notable speakers: Mr. Gerald Ilukwe, one of Nigeria's foremost ICT practitioners and the Regional General Manager, West Africa, Motorola Solutions Limited;Mr. Bismarck J. Rewane, one of Nigeria's leading economists, and Managing Director, Financial Derivatives Company Limited. He is to speak on the financial architecture to support ICT.
It is expected that the Conference will serve as a platform to boost investment opportunities in ICT in Nigeria and raise the level of best practices operators, policy makers and the business communities.
Our Annual Conference Series
2007 witnessed the maiden edition of a conference christened the Annual Law Series (ALS), to mark our tenth anniversary as a law firm and the opening of our own purpose built office. The enthusiastic response from the audience convinced us of the desirability of making it an annual non-paying event by which we regularly seek to deepen the interface between public policy makers, the business and legal communities. Over the years we commenced a strategic relationship with FICCI and in June 2013, collaborated with it to convene the maiden edition of the INBF in New Delhi, India; there were almost 30 Nigerian companies in attendance.
The ALS has continued to attract a rich and distinguished spread of both local and international participants from the public and private sectors. Over time, we have secured the attendance of a rich array of persons from within and outside such as Dr. Shamsudeen Usman, the former Minister of National Planning; Ambassador Mahesh Sachdev, the former Indian High Commissioner to Nigeria; Prof. Jayanth Krishnan of Indiana University; among several others; Mr. Sitesh Mukherjee, a Partner with Trilegal;Mr. Frank Nweke, the Director General of the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG); Dr. Emmanuel Egbogha, the former Senior Special Adviser to the President on Petroleum; Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu, SAN, former President of the Nigerian Bar Association; Ms. Bolanle Onagoruwa, the former Director General of the Bureau of Public Enterprises; Mrs. Ifueko Omogui-Okauru, the former Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service; Dr. Kingsley Moghalu, the former Deputy Governor of the CBN; Mr. Odein Ajumogobia, SAN, the former Petroleum Minister;Mr. Tonye Cole, Chief Executive Officer of Sahara Group.
We are pleased with the record of achievements which our initiative has garnered over the years. These include our advisory role to government parties within and outside Nigeria; our work on the concept of securitization and in conceptualizing an international private sector driven energy roundtable between India and Nigeria, among others.

At your request, a diamond 1/4 CTS and larger may be microscopically inscribed on its girdle with its unique Certificate Report Number, a personal message, or other text. We can also inscribe symbols and logos. An inscription allows for easy identification of a diamond, and a way to personalize the diamond.
The laboratories do not automatically inscribe every stone submitted. Generally diamonds over 3/4 CTS are not inscribed since they are more easily discernable from one another. The laser inscription is more common in smaller diamonds since they can be more easily mistaken.
Many customers like to have the peace of mind knowing that there stone has an inscription so in the future if their rings ever needs to be serviced they can be confident that they will receive the proper stone back. Based on the diamonds unique attributes such as weight, color, clarity, measurements, etc. there are no two stones that are exactly identical. Any trained gemologist will be able to confirm that a diamond matches its accompanying certification report. Therefore, a laser inscription in no way adds or detracts value to a diamond.
If the stone you are considering is not etched with the certificate number we can easily have the stone inscribed at the following rates:
- Certificate Report Number Only: $75.00
- Updated Laminated GIA Certificate : $200.00 (Please allow two weeks to complete).
- Personalized Message up to fifteen characters: $100.00
- Logo inscription and personalized message: $250.00. Please email us your logo template.

Whenever I am travelling to a conference and standing in a line at an airport it seems to me that everyone has either a burgundy passport like me or a red one if the are from USA. It turns out that most passports really are the same colour as this great infographic shows. Well, one of only about four colours so it seems. It's interesting the way they are grouped; I wonder why Africa tends to use green or black. For the full story see. here.
A few weeks ago I was taking my son to a birthday party and a journalist from The Independent phoned me to ask my opinion on Vantablack. This is the blackest material ever made. Whereas most black materials reflect about 4% of the light (or more) at all wavelengths, this new nano-material has really really low reflectance. It only reflects about 0.035% of the light. I gave a few comments and an article appeared in The Independent which was nice. I used to really like The Independent, back in the days when I read newspapers. The original article by Ian Johnston was very good imho.
However, a few days later the story was all around the world and I was often cited, all based on that one phone interview with Ian. The thing was that it was not even that big news. That is, yes, it is the blackest material ever made, but the truth is it is an incremental improvement in blackness beating the previous blackest material from a few years ago. My name even appeared in the Daily Mail. Most embarrassingly, I was interviewed on an American radio show. The reason I say it was embarrassing was that this new development actually had nothing to do with me and I didn't want people thinking I was trying to claim credit. So when I agreed to do the radio show I told the researcher that they needed to be clear that this was nothing to do with me. I didn't invent it. Imagine my surprise when John Hockenberry (that was his name, I believe) asked me, "So Dr Westland, what have you stumbled upon?". Arghhhhh!!! Luckily, it was not a live interview because it actually got worse. A lot worse. So bad, that I could barely summon up strength to listen to it when it went out the next day. But actually, the editors did a good job and the final cut is not too bad. You can hear it here.
It would be nice to talk about my own work. I work in the area of blackness. One of the things I do is to ask people to rank different black samples in order of least black to most black. This allows me to discover, for example, that women prefer reddish blacks and men prefer bluish blacks. Also, asians prefer reddish blacks and caucasians prefer bluish blacks. I am developing a blackness index; a way to measure a sample and say how black it is or whether one sample is blacker than another. Why? Well, one application is for manufacturers of black ink for printers (which may be made from coloured inks). Different recipes produce different blacks. What if one recipe is chromatically neutral but another recipe is less neural (it has a slight hue) but is darker – which one is blacker?
About three years ago I posted about the question of why leaves are green. In this I postulated as to why chlorophyll (the green stuff in leaves) should be green; after all, this means that it only absorbing some of the wavelengths in the visible spectrum. In fact, I argued that it would be better if plants were black, absorbing all of the wavelengths in the visible spectrum. Now, someone on co.design is suggesting just that – that green plants absorb only about 2% of the possible energy and that scientists are thinking of turning them black. Presumably this would save the world because plants would be more efficient at converting harmful greenhouse gasses into oxygen. There's catch though, apparently. If you make the plants black they get too hot and overheat resulting in cell damage. Actually, I also suggested this might be the case in my original article in 2011. Looks like black plants won't save the world. They won't even save themselves.
There's nothing wrong with black carrots though – see here.
On Christmas day of 2009 I posted about the colour of carrots.
I had been watching a Royal Institution Christmas Lecture by Prof Sue Hartley about carrots and why they are orange. She spoke about selective breeding by the Dutch (the first naturally occurring carrots were purple – from Afghanistan – and were later cultivated to be orange). In seeking to find more about this I found myself on the website of the British Carrot Museum. It is seriously worth a visit even if your interest in carrots is tangential.
I was reminded of this today when I came across an article in The Economic Times (India) which reported that the Punjab Agriculture University has developed its first black colour carrot variety (known as 'punjab black beauty') which has been recommended for general cultivation in the state. The black carrot is the best alternative to tackle the malnutrition problems of the country because it is overloaded with beneficial anti-oxidants and nutrients. The punjab black beauty is is rich in anthocyanins, phenols, flavonols ß-carotene, calcium, iron, and zinc.
I am also reminded, of course, of the words of the great late Uncle Monty (aka Richard Griffiths): "I think the carrot infinitely more fascinating than the geranium. The carrot has mystery. Flowers are essentially tarts. Prostitutes for the bees. There is a certain je ne sais quoi – oh, so very special – about a firm, young carrot".
Famously Henry Ford, speaking of the Model T car in 1909, said "Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it is black."
Black is, I think, one of the most interesting colours. I recently came across a book – think it was called A History of Black – which was all about this one colour. In my 25 years working in colour perhaps the most frequent question I have ever been asked is "Is black a colour?"
One interesting aspect of black is that it is almost timeless in its ability to be fashionable. This is one reason why it is worn by lots of people who are particularly conscious of colour (because they work in fashion or interior design etc.). It seems strange at first that people who are most interested and aware of colour are more than likely to wear black. Black is a regular occurrence in the attire of my colleagues in the School of Design at the University of Leeds. Given that it's timeless, it is also safe. There is no danger of being seen in the wrong colour.
I mainly wear brown. I wonder what that says about me?
It's often thought that black, white and grey are mature and sophisticated colours and that saturated reds and yellows are childish colours. Part of the reason for this is that the Romans and Greeks didn't use colour. All those classic statues we see in museums are achromatic. However. this may be all based on a misunderstanding. At a CREATE conference in Italy last year I first came across the idea that the Romans and Greeks used colour quite extensively but that over the centuries the colour faded. Today I saw this story in the popular press.
An exhibition of work – Gods In Colour: Painted Sculpture of Classical Antiquity – recoloured as it is believed to have originally been features more than 20 full-size colour reconstructions of Greek and Roman works. Currently on show at the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, Germany.
Dollar General (http://www.dollargeneral.com) is a discount store based in the USA. They used distinctive yellow and black colour combinations in their advertising material. In March this year they filed a lawsuit against their competitor (Fred's Inc) who they claim have damaged their business by copying the trademark yellow and black colours in certain marketing information.
The lawsuit accuses Fred's of "unlawfully and deceptively" using Dollar General's colour scheme and typeface in a new advertising campaign. The lawsuit says the only explanation for Fred's moving away from a traditional blue-green color combination in its advertising is an intent to capture Dollar General's brand awareness.

6/29/2011 La Jara Uranium Mine Would Impact Mount Taylor TCP">
6/29/2012 Gallup Independent: La Jara uranium mine would impact Mount Taylor TCP By Kathy Helms Dine Bureau
11/10/2011 Durango Herald: Wildcat's mining permit approved
11/10/2011 Durango Herald: Wildcat's mining permit approved – Initial access to mines allowed only for water sampling, cleanup surveys By Joe Hanel Herald Staff Writer: DENVER – State regulators approved a permit for a controversial gold mine in La Plata Canyon on Wednesday, but it comes with a long list of conditions and does not allow mining until the company has cleaned up the messes it made. Since Wildcat Mining Corp. took over historic mines near the hamlet of Mayday in 2006, it has built an illegal road, blasted two mine portals and moved a mill into one of the mines, all without a permit. All three portals into the mine have collapsed either completely or partially, endangering a road above. Water is leaking from the mine. Engineers and neighbors also have concerns about the stability of the company's illegal road, which descends from County Road 124 across the La Plata River.
Regulators with the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety reasoned that the only way they could ensure a cleanup was to get the mines and road a new permit, which the governor-appointed Mined Land Reclamation Board approved unanimously Wednesday.
Board members stressed that the permit initially will allow access to the mines only for water sampling and other surveys needed to begin cleanup work. Without a permit, Wildcat officials are not supposed to enter the mines for any reason.
"The permit doesn't authorize any mining or any milling," said MLRB member Bob Randall.
Elizabeth Paranhos, who represents environmental interests on the board, said she was comfortable with plans to approve a permit with many conditions.
"What's happening now is really a matter of data gathering without doing any further mining or milling," Paranhos said.
Wildcat Mining also said Wednesday's decision is a step forward.
"The Mined Land Reclamation Board's unanimous vote today to accept the recommendation by the Colorado Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety for approval with conditions for the May Day Idaho Mine Complex will allow Wildcat Mining to move forward in a measured fashion to resolve existing issues on the project site," Randall Oser, Wildcat Mining president, said in an email. "We are pleased with DRMS's recommendations and the Board's work to ensure that all stakeholders have been informed and involved."
But the assurances were not enough for several La Plata Canyon residents who testified by phone against approval of the permit.
"The division has never given a permit of this type. I don't think now is the time to start, especially with this operator," said Scott Collignon, a longtime critic who lives across the river from the mine.
Indeed, Wally Erickson of the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety said he doubted the state has ever approved a permit with such a long list of conditions.
Robert Abshire, a Native American student at Fort Lewis College, testified by phone from a room he said was filled with 30 fellow Native students.
The mine sits on a sacred mountain for the Navajo Nation, and it cannot be worked on without violating sacred space and possibly federal laws, Abshire said.
Wildcat lawyer Penfield Tate said the mine has been blessed by Native Americans in the past, and the company has a medicine man on retainer in case people think it needs another ceremony.
Company officials say they have a new team in place and blamed former owner Mike Clements for the company's previous problems.
Roger Tichenor, Wildcat's new CEO, said he didn't appreciate the depth of the problems when he invested in Wildcat. He decided to take control of the company and bring in experts to repair the damage.
"We're here to do things right. We're here to make it right and run a profitable business," Tichenor said.
But neighbor Phil Vigil isn't convinced.
"A new owner really doesn't make for a new operation," Vigil said, testifying by phone.
The company will have to make a series of applications to amend the permit before it can begin mining, Erickson said.

Patma Maun
Recipient of the Jamiyah Exemplary Mother Award in 2004
Mdm Patma came from a humble background and she raised her children in a similar manner. Her main priority has always been the wellbeing of her children, be it their education, health and etc and she trained them to look out for each other. Her husband was a hawker assistant and her family income barely met their daily requirement.
When her children were studying in secondary and tertiary levels, they had to live frugally as school expenses ate a lot out of their income. Still it was insufficient, so her children helped by giving tuition during their school days.
Now all her children have graduated from the National University of Singapore and lead a comfortable life. Her eldest son, a Project Manager, graduated with B.Eng (Hons), her second son obtained his LLB (Hons) and subsequently an MBA is an Assistant Head of EDB.

Has amazon already taken payment for the books?
It should not do so until the goods are despatched, which would give you the opportunity to cancel the order if you wish.

Open Letter: If you are justifiable then why not check atrocities (as)
By: Salman Alvi
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Spiritual leader of Pakistani Shiites Agha Syed
Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has written an open letter to United Nations,
world leaders, Human rights organizations and rulers on the issue of
Sheikh Baqir al-Nimr, Saudi Shiite leader, who has been sentenced to
death by Saudi Govt on raising voice for political reforms.
If you are justifiable then why not check atrocities
The human being is considered elite, honourable and respectable. All
religions and nations are convinced on the dignity and honourability
of the human beings. The biggest Divine Book having the honour of
"This is the Book on which there is no doubt" Holy Quran's subject
has also been the human being. That is why murder of a single human
being is considered as the murder of the whole humanity.
The whole universe has been created for serving the human being and
Allah Created the human being for his worship and the norm of this
worship demand that oppression should not be carried out against
anyone and the oppressed should be helped. That is why there is a
saying of Maula-e-Kainaat Hazrat Ali IbneAbiTalib (A.S.) that become
friend of the oppressed and enemy of the oppressor.
Today humanity is being trampled throughout the world and in some
countries the human beings are even treated worse than animals. One
of the names from among these countries is State of Al-Saudia
Al-Arabia where biases are on their height and everyone who is
opposed to the government is being subjected to painful torture.
The Saudi Arabian King is called Khadim Al-Harmain but unfortunately
no one is allowed to lead his life according to any belief other
than their own belief. One who attempts to state his own ideology,
is set out on the journey of death. Desecration of Sha'air Allah and
razing the same to ground is Saudi Arabia's habit. Even at present
the memorials of initial period of Islam and the Nabavi signs are
being wiped out in the name of expansion of the Harmain although
these are the joint heritage of the whole humanity on which all
international organisations play the role of silent spectators. More
than 30 thousand innocent persons are in jails as a punishment for
demanding reforms in the eastern areas but no human rights
organisation can even notice this protest. A few days ago,
announcement was made to send more than 50 persons to the gallows in
which Eastern Saudi Arabia's renowned Shia religious scholar
Ayatollah Baqir Al-Nimr and his close relative Ali Al-Nimr are
included in addition to AhleSunnahulema. Not only is this but the
elderly Shia religious scholaris being subjected to worst torture.
Ayatollah Baqir Al-Nimr is a peace-loving religious scholar whose
thinking is followed by a large part of the world that "We believe
not on bullets but on the terror and challenge of the word
righteousness, believe in justice, we don't talk about fire or iron,
consider the voice of the righteousness stronger than the bullet's
solidness." Snubbing the voice of persons who keep such peaceful
ideologies is tantamount to give leverage to terrorists.
All Representatives of the Allah who had been sent the foremost
objective of them had been to restore justice and fair-play. Today
the whole world lacks justice and fair-play as a result of which
crisis after crisis exists everywhere. Therefore, we strongly appeal
to the United Nations, all heads of State, human rights
organisations, and Islamic organisations not to give licence for
trampling the human rights to Saudi Arabia being the companion of
international establishment that allows them to tear apart humanity
in Bahrain whenever they so like, attack Yemen whenever they so
like, and keep on funding terrorist elements in Syrian openly.
If international organisations and all States desire restoration of
peace then Saudi Arabia may be stopped from funding and patting the
back of terrorists all around the world, the trampling of human
rights in Saudi Arabia may be noticed, all political prisoners
including Ayatollah Baqir Al-Nimr may be released. If, God forbid,
the righteous voice of Ayatollah Baqir Al-Nimr was tried to be
silenced forever and the punishment of hanging was exercised then
the whole Islamic World in general, and the Middle East in
particular may be surrounded in such an anarchy that perhaps no
country of the world could survive from its effects.

Austin, Texas' Nakia blooms like a bright spring flower on his debut, Water to Wine.
Co-written with Austin native Michael Fracasso (piano, guitar), Water to Wine starts with the Fracasso-penned, soul-stirring anthem "Choose Your Poison." Nakia reaches back to his roots to capture the down-and-out blues of album's high point, "Elizabeth Lee," and Mac McNabb's expert instrumentation colors the steady rocking "There Goes the Neighborhood." Fracasso and Nakia team up on the rhythm and blues marvel "Outta My Head."
Water to Wine is graced by the producing and engineering genius of McNabb and his astute sense of studio dynamics. When the group crosses the epic threshold of "World of Love," it is truly hard to top the beauty and fortitude of Nakia's Southern soul music.
Water to Wine is out now.

Our focus this month is the Power Snatch, today we are going to shorten it up a bit and focus on the power snatch from the hang (just above the knee) position. This will really allow us to focus on that second pull and getting the bar up overhead with the barbell locked out and shoulders active. If you find you can hang power snatch more than you can power snatch from the ground, it tells us that the start position might need some work.
After that, to work some more of that hip power, we will take on 21-15-9 of American Kettlebell Swings and Box Jumps (these box jumps will be lower than what you did yesterday) with a 400m run in between each set.
Make sure you are not sweeping the floor with those kettlebells. Keep a flat back and upright chest. Use your hips to propel the bell overhead. Your arms are just straps used to guide the kettlebell.

I was looking to get a small cat bed for my boy Opie, he loves to sleep on the couch but he leaves hair behind and I feel bad taking him off of it.
This ended up being the perfect size, and I loved that the center pillow comes out and the whole thing is washable. This is supper soft, really nice looking and my cat loved it!
He slept in this bed the entire night and not on the couch, exactly what I was looking for. I purchased this at a discount from Amazon.ca and it's perfect

Nonprofit Hospital Mergers and the Exercise of Market Power
Government challenges to mergers within the hospital industry have become more frequent. Many of those mergers involve nonprofit organizations rather than the for-profit firms that are the norm in most other industries. This difference in ownership has made no apparent difference in the antitrust agencies' approach to proposed hospital mergers. In this article I test the proposition that nonprofit and for-profit hospitals price differently in response to the structure of the markets in which they compete. Based on a cross-sectional analysis of California hospitals, I find that estimated merger effects on hospital prices do vary by type of ownership. In response to either higher market share or to the joint combination of higher share and higher market concentration, private nonprofit hospital prices are statistically significantly lower than for-profit hospital prices, and on balance in this sample there is no evidence of any systematic price-increasing effect on private nonprofit hospitals.

It is Friday at last! These weeks go by really quickly now that the weather is getting better and I am busy with all those things I love so much! But more on this in May!
So, last Wednesday I showed you a layout I made with the papers from Dear Lizzy's "5th & Frolic", and I still haven't used up all the bits and pieces and scraps I had left with this collection. So watch out there are more to come!
I never really was sure on what kind of page I was going to use the patterned paper with the houses on, but when I chose to scrap Christchurch Priory these papers seemed just the perfect match, don't you think? As I haven't got a house on my own, nor do I live in one, it had to be somewhat other than my place. I also finally had a good use for the keys from the sticker book.
A thing I mentioned in the journaling and which always has disappointed me, is the fact when you have to pay to visit a church. I understand that some churches need the money to keep them going, to do restoration work or to employ people to look after their premises. I am fine with voluntary donations and if I am capable of doing it, I will do it. Christchurch Priory asks for a donation to visit the church, and they ask you to buy a "photography permit" if you want to take pictures inside the church, even if it is for private and not for any commercial use. Things like this are really dispiriting. I think. But that's me and other of course are allowed to see it differently.
I hope you are all going to have a lovely weekend! The weather is going to be on the downside, but hey! We had pretty nice days last weekend and it cannot be sunny all the time!

Wild Flower Kids Release Day Hop!
Hey everyone! It's a Wild Flower Kids Release Day!! I'm so excited. This is the first release with the new WFP design team and I have to tell you they have all just rocked my socks off!! Today we are release two new images and one new sentiments set. Up for grabs we have Valentine Sage, Heart Fairy Daisy, Valentine Lily (previously released) and the Heartbreaker Sentiments.
First up I have for you Heart Fairy Daisy. I just love how she turned out! She's perfect for Valentine's day or any girlie card really!
For my card today I went back to my Pink Paisley designer paper and back to my Prismacolor pencils. It's been a long time since I've played with those but watching all the gorgeous things Donna and Jacquie have been creating gave me the itch… I'm a little rusty, lol.
I also used this weeks Mercy's Tuesday Sketch for some inspiration.
I went a little nuts with the distressing on this. I sponged the edges of the paper with Distress Ink in Frayed Burlap and then ran scissors around the edge to rough everything up.
Now, I'm off to run my son to the doctor, we were up all night with ear pain. I'll be back later with a sample using Valentine Sage!!
Be sure to see what the other design team members have created! Next on the hop is Lori Boyd!!
Here's the list of all the design team members just in case you want to jump around!

The Golden Bough A study of magic and religion
Page: 10
3. Recapitulation
WE can now perhaps understand why the ancients identified Hippolytus, the consort of Artemis, with Virbius, who, according to Servius, stood to Diana as Adonis to Venus, or Attis to the Mother of the Gods. For Diana, like Artemis, was a goddess of fertility in general, and of childbirth in particular. As such she, like her Greek counterpart, needed a male partner. That partner, if Servius is right, was Virbius. In his character of the founder of the sacred grove and first king of Nemi, Virbius is clearly the mythical predecessor or archetype of the line of priests who served Diana under the title of Kings of the Wood, and who came, like him, one after the other, to a violent end. It is natural, therefore, to conjecture that they stood to the goddess of the grove in the same relation in which Virbius stood to her; in short, that the mortal King of the Wood had for his queen the woodland Diana herself. If the sacred tree which he guarded with his life was supposed, as seems probable, to be her special embodiment, her priest may not only have worshipped it as his goddess but embraced it as his wife. There is at least nothing absurd in the supposition, since even in the time of Pliny a noble Roman used thus to treat a beautiful beech-tree in another sacred grove of Diana on the Alban hills. He embraced it, he kissed it, he lay under its shadow, he poured wine on its trunk. Apparently he took the tree for the goddess. The custom of physically marrying men and women to trees is still practised in India and other parts of the East. Why should it not have obtained in ancient Latium?
Reviewing the evidence as a whole, we may conclude that the worship of Diana in her sacred grove at Nemi was of great importance and immemorial antiquity; that she was revered as the goddess of woodlands and of wild creatures, probably also of domestic cattle and of the fruits of the earth; that she was believed to bless men and women with offspring and to aid mothers in childbed; that her holy fire, tended by chaste virgins, burned perpetually in a round temple within the precinct; that associated with her was a water-nymph Egeria who discharged one of Diana's own functions by succouring women in travail, and who was popularly supposed to have mated with an old Roman king in the sacred grove; further, that Diana of the Wood herself had a male companion Virbius by name, who was to her what Adonis was to Venus, or Attis to Cybele; and, lastly, that this mythical Virbius was represented in historical times by a line of priests known as Kings of the Wood, who regularly perished by the swords of their successors, and whose lives were in a manner bound up with a certain tree in the grove, because so long as that tree was uninjured they were safe from attack.
