At 4pm, October 7th, 2016, Cincinnati's newest brewery, Streetside, opens to the public. And the lead brewer is none other than our own beer writer, Luke Shropshire.
On behalf everyone here at the Homebrew Academy, I want to give Luke a hearty CONGRATS!
Streetside will open with six beers, including:
- "Alms"-ESB with apricots
- "IMP"- Inperial porter
- "Super Simple"- old school pale ale
- "Raspberry Beret"- Berliner weisse w/raspberries
- "Alpha"- IPA
- "Teabags"- Green tea honey blonde ale
There will be an additional 6 guest taps, as well as cold brew coffee, and nitro coffee supplied from "Smooth Cincy."
The brewery's focus will be to produce beers/styles that have yet to be explored in the Cincinnati region. These will include New England style IPA's, many different styles of sours, experimental hybrids and more.
How's This For an Early Accomplishment?
At the recent King of Ohio competition, which included over 60 Ohio breweries, Streetside's Raspberry Beret took Best of Show and best sour/wild.
Not a bad for a brewery that hadn't event opened, right?
Now, Luke is no rookie when it comes to pro brewing. He was previously a brewer at Mt. Carmel. Here's what he had to say about this new venture:
Streetside was founded by a family and I was mutual friends with their son. Getting the job was really a thing of luck, but I had Garrett over for a homebrew session and he tried all my beers on tap, we talked, and then he offered the job.
I left my last brewing job because I've been given unlimited creativity. Garrett and myself can literally brew anything we want and continue brewing what we want!
The brewery's hours of operation will be:
Monday: 11am-10pm
Tuesday: closed
Wednesday: 11am-11pm
Thursday: 11am-11pm
Friday: 11am-11pm
Saturday: 11am-11pm
Sunday 11am-11pm
Congrats again Luke. Can't wait to try your brews.

By Kevin F. McMurray
On a foggy July night in 1956, the Italian cruise liner Andrea Doria, sure for brand spanking new York, used to be struck broadside via one other vessel.

Considered the Mt. Everest of diving, the Andrea Doria is the final word deepwater spoil problem. through the years, a small yet fanatical workforce of utmost scuba divers have investigated the Andrea Doria, pushing themselves to the very limits of human patience to discover her -- and never all have lower back. Diver Kevin McMurray takes you within this elite membership with a troublesome, sincere examine those that cross deeper, farther, and towards the sting than others could ever dream.
Deep Descent is the riveting actual tale of the human spirit overcoming human frailty and of fearsome, mortal hazards traded for a hard-core adrenaline rush. Chronicling those adventures in his page-turning narrative and in dozens of dramatic pictures, McMurray attracts us deeper into the chilly middle of the unforgiving sea, giving us a robust imaginative and prescient of a spot to which few will ever have the talents -- or the braveness -- to move.

Delotto gave him the ok sign, then all started his ascent. Delotto used to be a very good ten years older than Deans and Ormsby, and he had made it relatively transparent ahead of the excursion set sail that he will be diving conservatively. Deans kicked over to the opening and dropped in eighteen mins into his dive. He instantly observed a mild. shedding down deeper into the outlet, he then observed Ormsby, and that he was once in difficulty. Ormsby, floating faceup, was once tangled in cables. His regulator gave off intermittent trails of bubbles, and his eyes have been close. Deans carefully got here down in the back of him and shook him. The reaction he obtained was once, in his phrases, "not from a hugely cognitive person yet from anyone that used to be subconscious. " Deans instructed himself to stick calm, stopped, regarded, and attempted to evaluate the location. Seeing the quantity of cable wrapped round Ormsby's physique reminded Deans of a fork that have been caught in a plate of spaghetti and twisted. Deans attempted to liberate his friend's weight belt, yet as the quick-release buckles have been cinched too tight, Deans couldn't get the belt off. each pull simply torqued John's physique. Deans pulled frantically at the cables and reduce at them along with his knife—all to no avail. He recollects asserting to himself, "There's no fucking method, he's useless, and there's no fucking means I'm getting him out. " With tears welling in his eyes he reluctantly swam out of the outlet and made his ascent. Deans, pulling himself surrender hand up the anchor line, bumped into divers Gary Gilligan and Sally Wahrmann. Deans pulled out his writing slate and speedy scrawled, "HELP blood brother caught IN gap. " Gilligan nodded his realizing, then Deans swam to the traverse line at fifty ft and it lower than the boat. He made it to the weighted finish and swam up the road, achieving the outside amidships. It was once a really risky probability to take, making that ascent with no decompressing. yet Deans knew if he didn't spend a lot time at the floor and speedy again to the depths to decompress, he can be spared from getting bent. on the starboard part of the Wahoo, Deans spit out his regulator and referred to as to anyone on deck that John was once caught within the gap they usually needed to get him out now. He placed his regulator again in his mouth, descended the decompression line, and switched to the oxygen regulator whereas taking a look above him, for all time considering, "Come on, men, get somebody down right here! " Deans hovered within the water at fifty ft wondering what else he may do. He checked out his strain gauge and observed he had approximately 1000 kilos, or approximately one-third of his air provide, left. He knew he needed to return all the way down to the spoil to aim yet another time to assist John, even supposing the location seemed hopeless, or he may well by no means stay with himself. Rick Jaszyn, at his thirty-foot cling, observed Deans down less than him. He vividly recalls how Billy punched the palm of his hand in frustration. Then Rick observed anything that used to be a revelation. "He used to be ten to 20 ft less than me, and that i observed the cord placing off the manifold of his tanks.

Ch-ch-changes… (4th edition)Posted: June 8, 2008 Filed under: D&D 9 Comments
Probably one of the worst kept secrets of my life is that I'm a bit of a fan of Dungeon and Dragons (D&D), to be precise I am a fan of the Forgotten Realms campaign setting. This says a couple of things about me, namely that I have a high tolerance for Tolkien imitators (read: rip-offs) and am an unreconstructed geek.
Thus it should come as no surprise that yesterday that I went out and bought the new 4th edition Player's Handbook (PHB) and Dungeon Master's Guide (DMG) (I'll be buying the Monster Manual too, but I didn't want to shell out the cash for it until I get closer to actually running a game). I just finished reading the PHB and it left a distinct impression on me.
Before I get into my opinions on the 4th edition revision, I think it would be wise for me to lay on the table my history with D&D. My first exposure to D&D was via video games (namely the Baldur's Gates series), my first exposure to the pen and paper rules themselves was with the 3rd edition (D&D 3.0). I consider myself "moderately informed" with the previous 3.0 and 3.5 rules sets. I also am midly familar with the older AD&D and the overall history of the game. I am not a rules jockey, nor am I a power gamer. My favoriute aspect of the game is DMing. I try to run fun but still relatively "serious" games for my friends. I don't buy a huge number of supplemental products (those fuckers are expensive) but generally try and stay constant with the rules.
With that out of the way, I found a lot to like about the new revised rule set and a lot I took issue with.
The 100 ton elephant in the room of 4th edition is the influence of World of Warcraft on the design of the game. Its felt in every aspect of the new edition, from the game's basic conceptualization to the classes to new style of play. I find this influence troubling. The "good aspects" of a game like WoW are difficult to translate into a pen and paper game. But the bad aspects were easy enough for the D&D design team to unleash on 4th edition.
An example of this is that each class now as an clear "in-rules" "role". Fighters and paladins are "defenders", wizards are "controllers", to name just a few. While such roles may (or may not) be necessary for a game like WoW, where the players are interacting with the story through programed events, they are completely unnecessary for a game like D&D where a live DM can shift their story to work with the sort of party the players create. By pigeonholing each class into an obvious predefined set of roles, 4th edition robs the D&D classes of their traditional versatility. This is especially true of the spellcasting classes, wizards and clerics, who've had their spell lists striped down and limited (mostly) to obvious damaging dealing abilities.
A pen and paper D&D game is not a game of World of Warcraft, there is more for a player to do then kill things.
The influence of WoW is felt in the design of the classes more generally. Every class, even non-spellcasters, now have various "powers" that can be used in each combat encounter. They are very much like the sort of abilities each class has in WoW. This is both a welcome and unwelcome change. While it gives non-spellcasters (especially fighters) things to do each round, it robs the spellcaster classes of some of their uniqueness and importance.
Beyond the general baneful influnce of WoW on 4th edition's design, the single largest change is the spellcasting system. The traditional way of "preparing spells" which had survived with, various changes (some radical) since the original D&D, has been chucked out the window, wholesale. This is both a good and bad thing. While it gives wizards more power and usefulness in lower-levels, it takes away from what makes D&D unique. I think that the system could have revised more without being completely scraped.
Much of what made D&D unique, compared to other RPGs, has been stripped out of the latest revision. Two traditional D&D (at least since AD&D) classes, the druid and the bard, are gone from the core rules. Seriously, where is D&D without bards? The gnome character race is gone too. These aren't huge changes from a rules perspective but, honestly, part of what make D&D special is missing without them.
Another big part of traditional D&D that was stripped out of the game is the alignment system. In 4th edition, there are only five alignments; lawful good, good, evil, chaotic evil, and (the uselessly unclear) 'unaligned'. There is no alignment to really reflect shades of gray in the new alignment system, everything not clearly good or evil is lumped together in the 'unaligned' category. The old system, while unrealistic, was a great way of getting cross a character's basic philosophy at a glance, which was especially useful for DMs using pre-made adventures. Again, the designers striped out a piece of what made D&D different and the game suffers for it.
There is not a single part of the D&D game that hasn't been changed in this revision, even changes made in the most recent previous revision, 3.5, have been reworked. Clerics no longer have domains, in fact they no longer get their powers from the gods they worship. Skill points are gone, a character is either "trained" or "untrained" in a skill. The saving throw system is revamped, along with how armor class works. Elves have been split into two races for the core rules (essentially into "magic elves" and "forest elves"). New races have been added (namely the lame "dragonborn") and old ones taken out (half-orcs). Some of these changes are for the better (the skill system), others are of dubious necessity (the reworking of the cleric).
Some of the new design elements just aren't well thought out, especially the higher level abilities. The new "epic destiny" concept for levels 21 through 30 is very powerful but poorly laid out for players and DMs to use, and shoddy explained (which is an exception, most of the game is very well explained). It feels like something that should have stayed in play testing longer.
Reading all of that might give you the impression that I hated D&D: 4th edition and that's not true. There is a lot to admire in the latest edition. The game is first and foremost accessible. The writing is clear, RPG jargon is seldom used and when it is used the designers clearly explain it. You could easily give this book to a 12 or 13 year old and they would understand the basic game with great ease. The design of the book is excellent, everything is well organized and logically laid out. WotC should give their staff graphic designers a raise.
Well the graphic design of the text itself is excellent, the illustrations in the book leaves something to be desired. It begins with the cover is which is just plain ugly. The interior art isn't much better, with offerings ranging from serviceable to typical bad fantasy art. The book would have been better of (and cheaper and shorter) with fewer illustrations.
Basically if WotC had released this game as a the improved d20 system I would have applauded it as an excellent, accessible game. As the latest incarnation of D&D, however, it leaves something to be desired. Much of what made D&D unique is gone and what replaced it is too heavily influenced by WoW for my tastes.
Of course, these judgments are contingent; I haven't read the DMG yet nor have I run a game with live players yet. For all I know this game may play well, causing me to forget my qualms about its design. We'll have to see. You can expect to see more from me about 4th edition D&D in the near future.

I hated the gimmick of 4th so bad I'm beta testing a d20 based game I designed myself. And I have WoW, too. I like a little more intelligence in my game and less "Idiot's Guide to Playing Everquest as a Tabletop RPG". DnD is dead as far as I'm concerned. You might raise it like Lazarus when you crack open 3.5 but it will never have luster again in any edition thereafter, as long as Hasbro owns it. You might find solace in Piazo's Pathfinder I've heard. It's like "a DnD 3.75". I've used the OGC and built a different kind of monster. One with no levels, Proper Mp, classes stripped down to a single thought, and such overwhelming customizability that my one friend whose played DnD for 20+ years said he "finally built a character he wanted to, without compromising anything!"

UP: Eight Aligarh Muslim University students suspended on complaints of violence, assault
The district magistrate suspended internet services in Aligarh till Thursday after clashes were reported on campus following a confrontation with journalists.
The Aligarh Muslim University on Wednesday suspended eight students pending an inquiry after clashes were reported on the campus following a confrontation with journalists of news channel Republic TV. One of the eight students suspended was also among the 14 students of the university booked for sedition on Tuesday.
All the eight students have also been asked to vacate hostels, University spokesperson M Shafey Kidwai, adding that the district magistrate has also suspended internet services in Aligarh till Thursday noon.
Kidwai said the eight students were suspended based on complaints lodged by Manish Kumar and Imran Khan against each other at the proctor's office. Kidwai said the complaints related to assault and violence.
Imran Khan, Abdul Mabood, Farhan Zubairi and Adil Khan were suspended based on Kumar's complaint. Zubairi was also booked for sedition following the fracas at the university campus on Tuesday evening. Kidwai said Ajay Singh, Manish Kumar, Aman Sharma and Pavan Jadon were suspended based on Khan's complaint.
News of the scuffle on the campus emerged on Tuesday evening when a student posted a tweet accusing a Republic TV crew shooting on campus of referring to the institution as a "university of terrorists" in an attempt to elicit a reaction.
Fourteen students of the university were booked for sedition on Tuesday evening after clashes erupted following a confrontation with journalists from news channel Republic TV. The police filed a First Information Report against the students based on a complaint by Bharatiya Janata Party Yuva Morcha district leader Mukesh Lodhi.
Following the incident, the university administration filed two separate complaints with the police – one against the journalists for entering the campus without permission and the other against unidentified miscreants for indulging in arson and unlawful activities.
Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti said slapping sedition on the students was ridiculous. "The law can be invoked only when any individual tries to excite dissatisfaction towards GoI [Government of India]," she said. "Since when did R tv [Republic TV] start representing the govt? Looks like this scenario was orchestrated to create chaos and target a particular institution."

Loughrigg Fell Southern Lake District
Loughrigg Fell is a mountain bike route in the southern Lake District. It is graded technically moderate and is 19.3 miles starts from Waterhead, just south of Ambleside. It circles Loughrigg Fell and also takes in Black Fell and Little Langdale. The riding is rocky, so the route is pretty weather proof. The climbing is a lot less arduous than most of the Lake District routes as the height of the Fells in this area is not too great. That doesn't mean the descents aren't any good, there are some great ones.
Start from the Waterhead car park by the Regent Hotel (GR367033).

Summit County letters: Reaction to Liddick's column on radical Islamist terrorism
It's time to protect our precious land
Our land is very precious and it's so important to preserve it. Efforts to preserve the landscape known as Bears Ears National Monument date back to 1903 — even before the Antiquities Act, which allows presidents to protect land that has cultural or scientific significance. The current monument was proposed by five sovereign tribal nations — Navajo, Hopi, Ute Mountain Ute, Uintah and Ouray Ute, and Zuni — which proposed a 1.9 million-acre national monument intended to honor American Indian connections to the land, while also protecting cultural resources. The Obama Administration provided the long needed protections for this area by designating 1.35 million acres of national monument. The Monument was in full acceptability with the Act, which states that an area is to be confined to the smallest area comparable with the proper care and management of the objects to be protected. In direct opposition to this, President Trump is planning to significantly reduce the size of the Monument, leaving hundreds of thousands of acres, which contain historic artifacts, unprotected and vulnerable to destruction. Please do what you can. Call your senators, representatives, President Trump, to preserve our precious land.

I read Morgan Liddick's column from Tuesday, Nov. 28 entitled "Will radical Islamist terrorism ever end?" with interest. He made many good points on the issue, such as that a radical jihadist is hard to spot in a crowd and that hatred and violence is a distinguishing feature. I personally condemn all radical jihadist attacks of hatred where ever they may occur in the world. I agree that it is unlikely that radical Islam will go away anytime soon, particularly when many in the U.S. express anti-Islamic sentiments.
In his article Mr. Liddick mentions two terrorist attacks that recently occurred in the U.S. (the November 5 attack in a Texas church and the October 1 Las Vegas shooting) erroneously implying that the motive in each case was radical Islam. In the case of the Texas shooting the authorities have not publicly identified a motive, but they emphasized that the shooting did not appear to be fueled by religious issues; it was more likely an issue that the gunman had with his mother who was a member of the church. Similarly, in the case of the Las Vegas shooting a motive is unclear but the shooter had been depressed after losing a significant amount of money. Once again, the shooter was not motivated by Islamic beliefs.
In addition to the above misleading comments, Mr. Liddick fails to mention or recognize other home-grown terrorists with white supremacist, racist, neo-Nazi, anti-gay, anti-abortion, or anti-government beliefs. All of these domestic, home-grown terrorists also express hatred, use violence and are hard to spot in a crowd. Mr. Liddick also fails to acknowledge that the majority (70 percent) of the terrorist attackers in the U.S. sine 9/11 were NOT motivated by radicalized Islamic beliefs but by white supremacist, racist, neo-Nazi, anti-gay, anti-abortion, or anti-government beliefs. More than twice as many people have been killed by these domestic terrorists as opposed to those with radicalized Islamic beliefs. Prior to the 9/11 attack more than 90 percent of all terrorist attackers in the U.S. since 1905 were home-grown people who held white supremacist, racist, neo-Nazi, anti-gay, anti-abortion, or anti-government beliefs. This information is readily available on the internet on many sites, such as Wikipedia.
Mr. Liddick readily admits that his opinion pieces are biased to the right. It might be to the benefit of himself and his readers, however, if he provides more objective unbiased information regarding both sides of the subject at hand.

Such an intelligent and easy way to organise recipes! So here is one I tried out yesterday – a Spiced Cherry Tomato Pasta, it consists of very few ingredients – cherry tomato, olive oil, garlic, chilli and basil. The beauty of the Spiced Cherry Tomato Pasta is the way the cherry tomatoes are cooked down into an almost jammy and luscious sauce, that perfectly coats the pasta but doesn't make it "saucy". Kind of like a softened sun dried tomato tapenade – but made simply with a bulk of cherry tomato, some sliced garlic and olive oil to bring it all together. Read more…
Spinach & Homemade Ricotta Ravioli with a Morel Mushroom Sauce
I'm a tad confused on the title of this post (yeah, real first world problems). I kind of want it to look and sound like a restuarant menu dish with the hero ingredients followed by the sauce and frills in italics below. You know, something like:
Fresh Ravioli with Spinach & Homemade Ricotta
Morel Mushroom Sauce with Chestnut and Walnut, Almost-Burnt Butter Crispy Sage
Now doesn't that sound fancy? Well, firstly, this post has been long in the making, and its ingredients have been accumulated even longer – waiting impatiently to be purposed into a meal. For some odd reason, over the last few months I've received bottles and tubes of chestnut puree/cream. And to be blatantly honest, I had absolutely no idea how to use it – and then began the incessant googling. The French may have some suave and sophisticated ways to use it, but little old me sure doesn't! Then comes morels, or guchhi, which SS insisted his parents bring back from Kashmir (not that he as *any* intention of cooking with them ahem ahem). I also bought the pasta attachment to my kitchen aid, which was an extremely considered and thought through decision, but till date I have only been able to successfully use the roller (my last attempt to cut the rolled sheets into fettuccine was a big glubby disaster.
Since that fateful day, I have found a pasta recipe (from Taj's Favourite Vegetarian recipes book – the ravioli which coincidentally, we have had the privilege of eating – Read more…
Cherry Tomato, Purple Asparagus + Mushroom with Gluten Free Pasta
Sometimes genius strikes when you least expect it. Today, was one of those below-expectations situations. My parents just got back from Dubai and brought back with them tons of goodies, including (but by no means limited to) marzipan so beautiful that you don't want to eat it, fresh sumac, za'atar, pine seeds, melt in your mouth baklava, assorted stuffed dates, chocolate (SS's favourite Lindt Orange Swiss Thins), oh, and the purple asparagus! They also brought back unbelievably smooth and silky hummus, and some muhammara, which made a beautiful wholesome dinner along with some fresh salad and (baked) felafel. Since I'm on my gluten free syndrome (barring beer, uh duh!), I ate mine over millet (bajra) flatbread while the rest enjoyed it on pita.
Since I had a bundle of voluptuously plump asparagus, I just had to use it, before we embarked on this weekend's staycation. So there came the conception of this humble yet phenomenally flavour packed pasta. I, of course, used gluten free pasta Read more…
Tagliatelle with Zucchini Ribbons, Basil and Mushrooms
Do you ever get obsessed with eating or fantasising about eating one particular thing, week on week, day on day, meal on meal? I have that obsessive tendency, where I fall in love with a particular dish, and just can't get enough of it – until one fine day, the obsession dies out completely. I'm still unsure about whether its because I overdid it, or because the dish outlived its welcome. In either way, the evidence is clear – when my heart falls into a plate, it takes a while for me to get it off that plate!
It started a few weeks ago, with creating Ribboned Zucchini with Almond Pesto and Truffle Drizzle. Unhappy with the actual ribbons that were created, I went out and bought a cute little handheld spiraliser, to give me those perfectly extra long and thin spaghetti like zucchini ribbons. After step one was done, I decided that I wanted to make a pasta that wasn't 'saucy' in the slightest, but which burst with flavours, was clean on the palate and looked amazing.

Cherry Tomato Mascarpone Arrabbiata
To the entire world, India has always been associated with its abundance of spices. Not surprisingly, Indians favour the spicier offerings of global cuisine, which brings us to the famous arrabbiata. The literal translation from Italian means 'angry', an ode to the fire and heat that is prominent in this sauce, my version using none other than ground bits of emaciated Kashmiri mirchi.
This recipe came about after pottering through the larder and the refrigerator, with the aim of satisfying my friends who we invited over for a long overdue tete a tete consisting of vats of wine and a bounteous spread. Read more…

Darren Fletcher has launched a staunch defence of new signing James McClean, making it clear that the winger's political opinions have not hurt anyone.
McClean sparked a storm on social media last week with his non-facing of the Union Flag at Charleston as God Save the Queen was played.
But with family also hailing from Derry, Scottish midfielder Fletcher understands more than most the political tensions within Northern Ireland.
Tony Pulis has had a quiet word with McClean whilst Irish boss Martin O'Neill has suggested he will do likewise to calm tensions.
Fletcher is just pleased that the Albion fans got solidly behind McClean at Swindon on Saturday, giving the £1.5m signing from Wigan little doubt that he will be warmly received this season.
"That was the most pleasing thing," said Fletcher of the Albion support.
"After the (Charleston) incident the rest of the media can have their opinion, that's fine. The rest of the football fans around the country can have their opinion but the most important thing I can do is relay to the fans how good a guy he has been.
"To hear that from the Albion fans on Saturday, that was great for him.
"I was really pleased to hear it and I'm sure it was a real confidence booster for him because he is aware of it.
"He doesn't want to cause upset, he has got his beliefs about a lot of things but he is not a troublemaker, he hasn't done done anything to cause trouble, he has not done any harm to anyone.
"I have got a bit of an insight into it because my mum is Irish and I have got family in Derry.
"It's a real sensitive subject. He's got strong beliefs and it is great that he has those beliefs.
"He has not caused anyone any harm, the fans got behind him at the weekend and that speaks volumes of the Albion fans and I hope that continues."
Fletcher believes McClean has already shown he can be a massive asset on the pitch.
"James has been brilliant, he has settled into the squad fantastically, showed a great attitude. He is a really popular member of the dressing room.
He has done fantastic," Fletcher said. "He is one of the best athletes I have seen in terms of stamina and running he is an absolute machine.
He is a great lad. He knew Gards (Craig Gardner) and Callum McManaman before he got here and I can't speak highly enough of him and his attitude - the way he has trained and played and the way he has been off the pitch.
"I think he is going to be a real good player and a great addition to the squad. For how much the club picked him up for, I think he will be a real bargain."

IFC Invests $100 Million In Mahindra Finance
IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, has invested INR 6.4 billion ($100 million) in Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services Ltd (Mahindra Finance). This investment will enable Mahindra Finance to further augment its growth, by extending loans to individuals, including farmers, to buy tractors, vehicles and other equipment, along with financing small and medium enterprises.
The investment in Mahindra Finance, the country's leading rural finance company and India's largest tractor financier that reaches more than half of India's 600,000 inhabited villages, will be through secured nonconvertible debentures.
Mechanized farming can cut costs by 25% and raise productivity by 20%. That will help meet the Government's target of doubling farmers' incomes by 2022. At present, less than 30 percent of India's farmers use modern equipment. To compound matters, 80 percent of farms in India are classified as "small and marginal", and require financing for smaller mechanization solutions.
Mahindra Finance's parent company, the vehicles-to-software conglomerate, Mahindra & Mahindra, has been IFC's partner for several decades. The new loan will help the company expand further and cater to the needs of small landholders. Sixty percent of rural households depend on agriculture for their livelihood. Yet, agricultural productivity has not increased and climate change holds a serious threat to the sector.
"To make a significant impact in the agriculture sector, we need to provide patient capital and deliver climate-smart solutions. Mahindra Finance brings the scale and expertise, and we aim to develop agribusiness solutions focused on women.
Agriculture plays a strong role in poverty reduction. IFC invests across the agribusiness supply chain – from farm to retail – to help boost production, increase liquidity, improve logistics, and expand access to credit for small farmers. IFC also runs large advisory programs aimed at developing farmers' knowledge and adoption of modern agricultural practices to help them raise productivity, improve incomes, and learn new skills.
IFC is the world's largest development finance institution focused on the private sector. Since 1956, it has invested in over 400 companies in India, providing $17 billion in financing to the private sector.

Water features have gained a great deal of popularity over the past several years for many different reasons. People have found that not only are they a great way to have a high impact focal point, but running water soothes us, nourishes us and rejuvenates us.
Pondless Water Features and Fountains
The sound of running water in a garden or patio area has the ability of easily taking our mind to a silent and peaceful place. In recent years we have seen major advancements in water features.
The development of pondless water features, aqua basin units and pond chemicals have created new applications and easier maintenance requirements. La Rosa Landscape has the designers and trained installation professionals needed to create the perfect water feature for your home.
Ponds and Waterfalls
Moving water has a way of bringing your outdoor environment to life. Installing a pond or waterfall can be one of your landscapes most beautiful features.
Beautiful water features that are not installed properly can do the exact opposite of what they were designed to do. Calm and serene are not what you will feel if your pond leaks. La Rosa Landscape can design and install anything from small reflection ponds, waterfalls and large scale aquatic environments.

EU Referendum and ISSOS
Date: June 29, 2016
We understand that last Thursday's EU referendum result may have come as a shock to our friends around the world, just as much as it shocked everyone at ISSOS.
This was not the result that ISSOS hoped for or envisaged happening. Now that it has happened, we would like to reassure you that ISSOS will, absolutely, continue to welcome students and their families into our international community.
ISSOS was founded to create a safe and welcoming environment where students from all over the world can meet and create friendships that last a lifetime providing a truly international experience. We feel excited and privileged to be welcoming students from over 70 nationalities to our campuses in St Andrews, Cambridge and Yale this summer and look forward to continuing to do so in the years ahead.
We believe that we create a unique opportunity for young people to learn from one another, embrace one another's cultures and learn to be accepting of differences. Last week's result will not change this from our perspective and we will continue to welcome our international community to our summer schools and expand the ISSOS international family.
Although we do not envisage any major problems in arranging future travel or stay in the United Kingdom, please be assured that we will endeavour to work with you to ensure the smooth transition and administration of students at ISSOS. As always, our classes will continue to cater to the international community and we will continue to strive to meet the needs of each and every one of our students.
Please be assured that ISSOS will continue to welcome international students with open arms, as we aspire to break down cultural barriers and create an environment where international relations are celebrated.
Wishing you all a happy and successful summer.

A new App is launched
It probably isn't the most pressing concern in your life but you may have occasionally wondered where your energy comes from locally. Is it from dirty coal, nice clean renewables, nuclear? This new app tells you hour by hour what proportion of each is going into the supply into your home and therefore what the carbon load into the atmosphere is, if you live in the area managed by Western Power Distribution.
You can download the app on to your smart phone from The Carbon Trust website http://www.carbontrust.com . The site explains:
'Developed by WPD in collaboration with the Carbon Trust, working alongside digital agency Enigma Interactive, the app is the first to reveal real time information to consumers on their local energy generation mix and the amount of CO2 produced as a result, also known as its 'carbon intensity'. The WPD network, which operates across the East and West Midlands, South Wales and the South West, has seen an increasing amount of low carbon generation being connected to the network over recent years.
By using the new app, electricity customers will now be able to see real time data on how the energy delivered to their local area is being generated, taking into account how much energy is coming from nearby solar panels and wind turbines in current weather conditions. In addition to renewables, the app also reveals what proportion of electricity is being provided through nuclear energy, fossil fuels, or other energy sources such as municipal waste incineration.
Having access to this information will allow individuals to make informed decisions about the best times to schedule their energy-consuming tasks – such as using the washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher or water heater – if they want to help make a difference to climate change.
To support this decision making, the app provides both live information and a seven-day forecast, helpfully colour-coding different times of day as green, amber and red depending on how carbon intensive electricity is expected to be at that time.'

Priority red routes are a London-wide network of strategic roads that have red coloured lines meaning "no stopping".
In Croydon the roads covered by these restrictions are the A23 and the A232. The "no stopping" restrictions are enforced by the local police traffic wardens - not the council's parking attendants.
The police traffic wardens will issue £100 fines to offenders of the "no stopping" restrictions.
In addition to the red lines, there are red parking bays indicated by red box markings. These mean that parking and/or loading is permitted, usually between 10am and 4pm. There are several different types of red box, some allow short term free parking, others only allow loading and unloading.
Please refer to the restrictions posted on nearby signs.
Special conditions also apply to blue disabled badge holders
In all cases, the rules are clearly shown on the sign next to the parking box.
White parking bays on red routes mean that loading, unloading and parking are permitted within the white box markings at any time of day. Once again, the rules are clearly shown on the nearby signs.
For more information about red routes please see the Transport for London (TfL) website.

"Handling the Shattered Nutcase"
I'm not there yet. Still got a ways to go before the World can pass through me without pain.
I held Naiomi this past weekend and it was great. Didn't break down or freak out or fall apart. I walked in, saw her in her baby chair, looked directly into her enormous blue eyes and picked her right up. There was no question about it. All of the previous times in her 6 months on this planet that I've been with her I devolved into a sodden mess or wigged out on her ultra-newborn-ness.
Now I can begin to get to know her and ensure that someday I'm her favorite.
All the babies I know born since Silas hold a special place in my heart. They are all the almost-mines. They are the what-could-have-beens. They are my surrogate kids.
That's not to say the ones that came before Silas don't count at all. In fact, those kids are all my friends already. They are easy. The more recent children take extra effort for me to accept and connect with. I must do it, though. To do otherwise is to nullify his brief existence. But it is so hard.
I hate that feeling, that I have to shy away from the best new parts of my loved ones' lives. It kills me that I cannot share in the joy of their new children. And it is impossible to feel like that and maintain healthy relationships.
I need my friends. For me, friends are as essential as water and food and sleep. And family, of course, is the thick red of my blood and the invisible light my soul. Together they pull me along into every next day, where somehow, sometimes, it does manage to feel a little better than it did the day before.
That is today, though. That is right now. Tomorrow is a whole other story, and one I cannot even begin to get into until I'm through it and beyond.
I want tomorrow to be wonderful. I want to be free of fear and pain and sadness. I want to trust that the Universe will at least look the other way as we slip by into modest contentment and peaceful dreams. I want to celebrate the arrival of every new child and crush the jealousy and resentment I feel when I see everyone with everything I want but do not have.
It is difficult to contain the complexity of this longing and sadness and love and laughter and depression and brittle strength, and resilient weakness, and despondent determination, and resolute indifference, every day, all the time.
Sometimes I forget how fucked up I am. Sometimes I even feel okay.
I thought holding Naiomi proved that I had transformed and stepped forward. But then the very next day my oldest and bestest friend appeared with his weeks-old-son, and I nearly ran screaming into the woods. I knew they were coming. I was glad they were there. But Henry in his harness and the brutal reality of his beautiful presence was impossible for me to experience.
Even from forty feet away I could sense his newness, and it reminded me inexorably of all the moments I never had with my son Silas.
I want a new way of doing things. There is a serious lack of community in my life that the TV cannot complete. I get it here and there through my work, and I love that part of my life, but the people of my tribe are far too far away.
You should be forced to hang out with people every single day. You should be put in the presence of others so that together you can each figure out what you like to do. A tribe of two is not enough. It's a start, but it is only that.
We need more than that, anyway. We need the blood of our kin and the love of our friends. We need to share meals and fears, hopes and horrors. We have never been able to do this on our own.
A hawk flew low across the highway, nearly pulling my car off the road with the gravity of its flight. I twisted in my seat following its unfolding path but I didn't crash. It vanished into my past and I wondered what that could have meant. Some would see portent in the flight of that hawk. Or maybe instead by the murder of crows that rattled far above only moments later.
Maybe the bloom of a flower is a signal for good things to come.
It would be so much easier if I could believe in any of those things.
But if I was part of a tribe there would be the Shaman to sit me down and tell me how to view the World. There would be a Prankster to take me out into the juicy night. There would be a Crowd and a Ruckus, there would be the Rituals. There would be answers?
Instead I know too much about how much I don't know. Why the flight of one bird out of all the birds I see fly, why should that one have weight and grandeur and depth? Or why not accept the tenet of a Flawed Man, and all the Original Sin we are supposed to carry? Easier to blame forces beyond my control than to accept responsibility for what happened to Silas. I did what I thought was right and that's all I have to stand on.
So then, perhaps my life is punishment for doing things wrong. All things. Every bad choice I've made, here it is laid back on me, stark and utter and raw. I'm a bad person that did bad things and my punishment is never knowing my son. But I refuse that possibility just like I refuse blame. The Universe doesn't have the time or inclination to pay that close attention to me anyway. And really, I'm not that bad of a guy. Maybe if time flows backwards and I turn out to be a total and complete badass when I'm seventy two then this punishment may start to be deserved, but all that is unlikely at best.
And then there is the Meant To Be crew, and I just can't get down with that at all. No matter what kind of major douchebag Silas turned out to be, or how contentious our long father-son relationship was, or any other permutation of What Could Have Happened, it is always better if he was here with us tonight. So this was never Meant To Be. This didn't Happen For a Reason. This happened because sometimes things like this happen.
There is no why. There is only: What's next? Once I began to start thinking again, a few weeks after that terrible day, I realized the only thing I could do was whatever was the very next thing that needed to be done. I'm better than that now. I can plan ahead again. But when the terror spins up and the grief overwhelms me my focus always comes back to the exact next thing I need to do to make myself feel safe or calm or incrementally better.
Tribes are good for that. The Prankster tricks me out of my maelstrom. The Confidant leans in to listen. The Shaman points at the hawk on wing on the blowing, invisible wind and I wonder if she is telling me something is coming, or if that Silas is here, or just that he is gone, as he is every day of my life.
It would be easier if I had something to believe in and understand implictly, but all that makes sense to me is that they all seem so arbitrary and contradictory. So I concentrate on the facts. We have each other. Our Tribe is robust but spread far and wide. Silas is gone and we will never have him back. And, it is a fact that when I feel the World turn slightly to me and bow, that I take it as a sign that something is definitely going to happen and I better be ready for anything. All the time. That's my role in the Tribe.
The time has finally arrived. It has been mutually agreed upon that Elm City Mom needs her own blog. Come by and say hi!
(And don't let the door hit your ass on the way out! He shouted.)

This acrylic tells the story of the time I was introduced to Quentin Tarantino by Hank Azaria at the Chateau Marmont. The piece depicts QT, and some of the folks that joined us for an in-depth cinematic conversation, including Looney Toon characters doing the Hollywood movie stars of the 1920-30's.
It was an insane experience to talk film with QT and Hank; Pagent Brewster was there too. The piece was sold at a private show to a Tarantino fan, but replications are available upon request.

While everyone figures out where to post the pictures, and the clever writing muse inspires, let me just tell you what we did buy on Saturday after the market...
Imagine 10 hungry foodies shopping all at once, without a list and in a hurry to go to the flea market. Shopping is always the better part of cooking here in this Southwestern Food Paradise. The country village markets are super lively on the holiday weekends like Toussaint. Families returning home for the weekend and school holidays with Grandpere and Mamie. Even our own resident Parisians found shopping a wee bit different here in Gascony as they raced through the produce, cheese and farm charcuterie stalls as Kakou, Francoise, Patricia, Marc and friends slowed them down by feeding tidbits- everything from rillettes on pain d'epice to fat mi-cuit Pruneaux (cooked/dehydrated for 12 hours instead of the usual 24). The great chunk of local Tomme de Templiers appeared from LouLou/Jennifer 's basket. Lucy de Lyon scored some of Pim's favorite grattons while Nice Tricia reserved the Marennes oysters for us and Stuart and Nicky stocked the onion/garlic larder.
By now the market baskets were bulging with:
- a dozen huge confit de canard- duck legs
- 2 meters of Saucisse de Toulouse
- ventreche (salt cured rolled pork belly or bacon)
- couenne (fresh pork rind)
- rind and pork sausage
- hambones
- roi de macy beans (I already had soaked some tarbais last night)
- chestnuts
- smoked garlic
- onions, shallots and more garlic
- cheese- Salers
- grattons
- ham
- pate
- rillettes
- pate de langue
- lettuce
- roi de macy beans
- brandade de morue
- 3 dozen oysters
- pain d'epice
- fouace
- pain d'epeutre
Sometimes even food blogging tourists eyes are bigger than their stomaches. and the abundance of great charcuterie means we had one head of lettuce to 10 different pate/terrine/rillettes! Next time I'll make sure we get at least 2 of the vegetable groups we're supposed to eat even here in Gascony. I suppose chestnuts could count as a vegetable or pears for the fab sorbet David made as our fruit ration. I do know that Pruneaux count but don't think that oysters do. It's a lopsided food pyramid here that gets balanced by an abundance of good vegetable soup and fruit desserts. Oh, and the wine. Of course, the wine.
I was getting concerned we were going to run a little late, but our timing was impeccable and we were eating great cassoulet by dinner at 8.

Just In!
It's July, and another successful SF Pride Parade is in the books… or so I hear. I personally missed it, sadly, but I did so for good reason. Obviously, we live in one of the most gay-friendly cities in the world, and while it would have been fun to come out to share the celebration (not to mention the spectacle) that is Pride in the Bay Area, I chose instead to celebrate with the LGBTQ+ youth of Salt Lake City.
Utah is, of course, fairly synonymous with Mormonism. Imagine growing up LGBTQ+ and having to consider whether to stay closeted, or to come out and risk being shunned, rejected, or excommunicated not only from your entire church, but your community and likely your whole family, too. It's not hard to see why the LGBTQ+ youth in the LDS church have an incredibly high suicide rate. Enter one of the most famous Mormons this side of Donny & Marie: Imagine Dragons' frontman, Dan Reynolds. Reynolds founded the LoveLoud Foundation, which puts on an annual festival in the Salt Lake City area every June to allow a safe place to celebrate Pride while raising money for local and national LGBTQ+ charities.

350 V8 - Excellent Interior - Cold A/C - Beautiful Bright Red Exterior
Vintage Motorcars is proud to present this 1972 Chevrolet El Camino.
The Bright Red over Silver exterior paint shines beautifully and is of high quality. The base coat / clear coat was clearly applied in a professional spray booth, and not in someone's garage or back yard. The near complete lack of dust in the clear coat supports that theory. The sheet metal appears to mostly be original, so you know the door and hood gaps are near perfect. All the chrome and stainless is in beautiful condition, and shines like new! All the glass is in excellent shape as well as all the lights and bezels. All-in-all; the exterior of this car presents very well and would be considered to be much higher quality than 'driver'.
The interior is in excellent shape. The front bench seat appears to have been replaced recently and is free of rips, tears or cracks. The gauges, carpet,
headliner and steering wheel are all in great condition. For added convenience; this is a factory air conditioning truck which works just as it should.
The bed of this truck has a snap-in carpet so you can haul your chairs, tent and cooler to the shows without having to worry about scratching the bed.
Most importantly – the GM small block 350 V8 roars to life with the simple twist of the key, and idles exactly like it should. This power plant will get you down the road with ease while providing the classic V8 rumble out of the dual pipes. The engine is mated to a TH350 automatic transmission with a nice highway gear for cruising. Both of which perform flawlessly with no smoke or hesitation.
Since the original engine is gone, and the paint is not correct to the trim tag… some would call this truck a "driver". That may be true; however, the quality of this truck far exceeds the typical definition of 'driver'!

MAKE every spring day a stay-at-home snow day while your final salary pension mounts up.
Estate Agent, Tracey Weasel, is proudly marketing an extremely desirable property for the modern educator.
"Generation X teachers may well have trudged through thigh-deep snow back in the Seventies, when they were snot-nosed pupils, but with age comes experience."
"They have all worked out they get exactly the same wages and perks if school is closed because 'the staff can't get in'."
"Properties are all about location, location, location and this desirable residence ticks all the boxes when it comes to being snowbound and marooned."
"The lucky resident can post daily pictures of the surrounding snow drifts and there is nothing their snowflake millennial pupils can do about it – even if they can personally skip to school wearing shorts down in the sunny valley below, where ironically there are no actual snowflakes."
"A teacher can reliably be stranded from Michaelmas to Easter until they are besieged by summer hikers, marmots and mouflons."
"I am expecting massive demand."
"A&E doctors, gritter drivers and supermarket workers are also likely to be interested."
