5-1: Lily's Simple & Easy Recipes
TL: Krrizis
Editor: Me3
First published on Ainushi
The next day, I was immediately faced with a predicament in the kitchen.
「Oh dear…」
「Okaa-san, what's wrong?」
「Hmm~ We're out of wheat flour」
While I replied to Jill's question, I brooded about it with my arms folded. How did it get to this point? How did I manage to use it all up even though I had gone out specifically to buy that? Still without wheat flour, it'll be hard to make any of the recipes in my repertoire.
But Sid-san has gone out for a job this time around, so he can't help me with the shopping. Besides if he could, I would have wanted him to get other stuff for me as well. Hmm…
「But I don't really want to go out though…」
「Why not?」
「Until Leonard-sama's work is finished, it seems it'll be a little dangerous」
I mean, even though he gave me a bracelet that was enchanted with a protection spell, he still went out of his way to give me a pendant. Doesn't that mean that the danger is real?
「Okaa-san, did you get them too? I got those as well」
「Oh my, you're right. Then it's even more advisable that we shouldn't go out…」
As she mentioned, Jill also had a pendant just like mine dangling from her neck. However, what am I going to do about the wheat flour…
「What's bothering you?」
「Ah, Milis!」
When she saw Milis' sudden appearance, Jill quickly hid behind me. She was probably frightened of her because of the bad first impression she made.
Even so, we're going to be living together as a family from now on. It's best if she gets along with her.
「Well actually, I ran out of wheat flour. I really must go out and buy some, but Leonard-sama said today there might be trouble afoot so…」
「Yeah… Well in that case, I can guard you. Despite my appearances, I'm quite strong」
The sweet smile Milis made drew Jill's attention and she quietly stuck her head out. Then looking back and forth between the both of us, she tilted her head lovingly to the side, slightly doubtful.
「Okaa-san, are you good friends with onee-san?」
「Yes, we're friends. That reminds me, you haven't been properly introduced to her yet. This is Leonard-sama's contracted water spirit, Milis」
「It's a pleasure to meet you」
So as not to frightened her, Milis crouched down to meet her eyes. Jill timidly drew closer and bobbed her head.
「I'm… Jill. It's nice to meet you」
Immediately after she said it, she hid behind me once again. Hmm, maybe she needs a bit more time to adjust.
You too, Milis. You don't need to make such a sad expression.
「Does she not like me?」
「She's probably still a little scared of you. Just give her a bit more time」
As I was comforting Milis while she smiled bitterly, I noticed a figure crossing outside the window.
Whereupon Amdo-san, who was in the form of a small bird, curiously halted in his tracks, puzzled by my sudden call.
「I'm sorry to bother you. Did Leonard-sama ask you to do anything earlier?」
「Then, would you mind coming with us as a guard with Milis? I really need to go shopping」
When I said that, Amdo-san came in through the window. Yes, I know she's happy but Milis, aren't you behaving out of the norm? If you act like that, won't your feelings be exposed?
「You're heading out?」
「Yes, so we might be in danger. Milis is coming as well but it would be reassuring having a man along with us」
「Wow, that's absurd. I'm strong, you know?」
Oh no, sorry. I didn't mean that I felt unease having just Milis alone but my words must have come across as such when I said it earlier.
「That's not it, Milis. If there's a group of just girls walking around, men might try making passes at us. Especially since you're a beauty, Milis so there's a higher chance of them making a pass at you」
「A, a beauty!?」
「Yeah. Right, Amdo-san?」
「Definitely. Milis is cute」
Amdo-san agreed as well. This, in turn, made Milis' face light up till her ears turn bright red. Isn't it lovely? Hearing the person you love say you're cute.
「That's why, if possible, won't you come with us?」
So if these two spirits were to escort us, I'm sure Leonard-sama won't be mad about it.
Moreover, with both Milis and Amdo-san going together with us, it'll be nice if it furthers their relationship as well.
Well then, now that it's been decided, I've got to make the shopping list.
「What's that? It's so sparkly!」
A short while later, we finally went out to shop. Milis' eyes twinkled at the spectacle of downtown, her eyes restlessly roaming everywhere. Holding her by the hand affectionately as she acted that way, Jill was going「That over there is—」whilst explaining away.
Although it was an unforeseen development, I'm okay with it since they're getting along.
「I've known her for quite some time but this is the first time I've seen Milis act like that」
「Really? Isn't it cute how she's so excited?」
Oh, he's not saying a thing. Wondering why he clammed up, I glanced fleetingly at him to deduce it and saw Amdo-san slightly smiling with his cheeks a little red.
「I understand her feelings. She barely goes out to places like these unlike Sid」
「Are you the same as well, Amdo-san?」
「I dislike places that are messy」
However the words he mumbled afterwards, I was certain, weren't meant for my ears.
「… If she likes it this much, maybe I should bring her out here next time」
I tried immensely hard to keep my expression in check.
I mean, isn't that like a date? It's a date! Does that mean that the two of them have unrequited love for each other!?
I've heard Milis' feelings and by looking at Amdo-san, I got it. Oh gosh, it almost spilled out of my mouth!
Gee whiz, Amdo-san. I'm embarrassed, I can't even look at Milis.
Speaking of, it'll be dangerous if we're too far apart. In a hurry, I called out to Jill and Milis who had been steadily moving away earlier.
「Milis, Jill, don't run off so excitedly」
「Ah, I'm sorry」
「Okaa-san, don't be mad」
Seeing them rush back with a dejected expression reminded me of small animals that were chided and it unconsciously brought a smile to my face. I'm aware beforehand that Jill was adorable but Milis' too was so cute. I didn't expect such an innocence face from her.
「If there's something you're interested in, we can take a look at it together. The both of you were looking around so much earlier that I'm sure there must be a lot of stuff that you want」
「Really? Can we go to that shop over there that's selling those shiny stuffs?」
「Shiny? … Oh, it's a sweets shop! Alright. I'm sure you get tired of just eating the snacks that I make all the time so let's get some」
"Yeah~", they both shouted in delight. Seeing them behave like that, I couldn't help but give in. They really became close, haven't they? I suppose it needed a bit more time for it to work. As I was deep in my thoughts, I felt Jill suddenly tugging on the hem of my skirt. Hmm, what's up?
「But, umm, you know, I'm happy that you're buying the snacks but I love your snacks too, Okaa-san!」
「… Ah, yeah. Thanks」
What a surprise attack this child launched. How utterly adorable she is. I was so pleased that I hugged her and took the opportunity to tickle her.
「Kyaa~ Okaa-san, it's ticklish~!」
「That's cause you said something that brought me joy~」
I noticed when Jill said it. I… seemed to have subconsciously braced myself for the worst to come. So much that I was unnecessarily stressing myself, being on guard for it to happen but Jill's words just now undid the knots. Since we all came here to shop together, we should have some fun.
「Now, the shiny things decorated there are candies. There are different varieties so if there's anything you two like just get them」
「Eh? But…」
「Jill, you'll like it wouldn't you, if Milis selects a candy and eats it together with you?」
「Yes! Milis onee-chan, come on!」
「Ah, wait a minute!」
Jill started running off, dragging a bewildered Milis by the hand. Even so, Milis looked somewhat happy as she accompanied her.
「Amdo-san, is there anything you'd like to buy too?」
「No… I mean, money-wise…」
「There's more than enough for us to spend from the allowances that I received. Plus, it's to commemorate the first time all of us have gone out together. Don't you think it'll be nice to get Sid-san and Leonard-sama a present?」
「… Are you sure it's okay?」
「Of course, we took the trouble to come here after all」
Since Amdo-san gave a slight nod after I urged him, we chased after the other two.
Which by the way, I just realized this but I wonder if Milis is comfortable with me walking alongside Amdo-san. Normally, wouldn't she hate it? Once we step out of the sweets shop, there'll be hell to pay.
At the shop, I bought two bottles stuffed with a variety of candies as a present for Sid-san and Leonard-sama. Jill and Milis bought the same item too. Amdo, as I had expected, chose his own candies.
Do they all like candies that much? I mean for one, they aren't candies that I have made.
Incidentally, I bought all my baking ingredients. I wonder what I should make next~ Although when I think about it, the reason why we're short on wheat flour is because I've been baking confections every day. I'm repenting on it now.
「Lily, aren't you getting any for yourself?」
「No, it's fine. Don't worry about it」
「You sure? … Then, how about sampling one of mine later? After that, it counts as having gotten one?」
「Have mine too~!」
「Thank you, both of you. It means a lot to me」
When I showed a pleasant smile, the both of them exchanged glances and had a smile across their faces. Oh my god, the both of them are seriously so adorable! I just want to wriggle about! As I grinned broadly, Amdo-san called out to me in a calm voice.
「So, what's next?」
「Wheat flour, smoked salmon, meat, eggs, milk and probably some bread」
The seasonings are fine. I'd checked on them before we left the house. Ah, but I do want a bit more rock salt. Just getting wheat flour is more than enough to be honest but since we came out all this way, I want to stock up on everything.
「Then, let's get going. It's better that we don't spend too much time outside」
「You're right」
Per our conversation, we finished shopping and as I was about to request for home delivery, Amdo-san grabbed the paper bags that were stuffed to the brim with our purchases and carried them in his arms.
「It'll be safer for the time being if I grabbed the stuffs and carry it home」
It alarmed me when he hinted at the possibility that something might occur if we were to have it delivered. Just thinking about it gave me the chills. What if the instant we received the parcel, there was something hidden in the delivery? We ought to be on the lookout for such possibilities.
Since Amdo-san is the most vigilant amongst us, it's probably best that I follow his judgement. I do not have a professional hand at these things anyway.
「I'll carry them as well. Jill, hold on to Milis' hand tightly so you don't get lost」
With that in place, it felt safer for me to follow Amdo-san's lead as Milis looked after Jill. Even if something were to happen, I'm sure we'll overcome it somehow.

It was nice to be back in Rome and the spring weather had started with temperatures of 24-25degrees for the first couple of days. We went with my cousin to have a delicious meal at a small trattoria and then to the Frida Kahlo exhibition which was superb with explanations in both Italian and English and old footage of the artist with her husband Diego Rivera and Trotsky who was staying with them before he was murdered.
It was held in the "Scuderi del Quirinale" opposite the president's residence where special guards wearing helmets are chosen when they are least 2metres tall.
It had rained by the time we arrived in Roccamandolfi after our friends had picked us up from the train station and deposited us and our bags at home. We went to them for lunch and had lovely seafood pasta and met their lovely little 3month old daughter Caterina.
As soon as we got to the house Maurice lit the wood stove to warm the house after being empty for 9months.
We picked up Van Mauriceson and were treated to another lunch by the people looking after the van.
The change in weather was enough to give me bronchitis so I spend a day and a half then in bed and started with antibiotics.
We enlisted the help of one of the locals who had a tractor with a tray on the back to help us take all our goods including mattress/seats etc back up to the van which was parked high above the house where we stayed.
It was so much easier then lugging everything back up ourselves.
Spring was well in evidence already (although there was snow further up on the mountain tops) with trees full of new leaves and lots of blossom. On the 15th April it got really cold and snowed for a couple of days.
Maurice had never seen xnow falling so it was a novelty for him but he said that it was nice to see but after 2days he had had enough of the cold weather – it got down to 1 and 2 degrees – too cold for us.
Old habits die hard in the villages in Italy where the middle aged and older men gather in the bar (with the two of us) to drink coffee and (beer sometimes at 9o'clock in the morning) play cards. Wives are nowhere to be seen. They are probably in the kitchen with their aprons on!
We moved off to the relatives for Easter on Thursday 17th hoping for warmer weather closer to Rome which we did get although we had a little bit of rain. On Good Friday we went up to the village of Sezze and watched the procession of hundreds of people who took part in the production of the Passion and various snapshots from the bible. Each group stopped at various locations and recited pieces from the bible. It was very professional and luckily it was not too cold.
After Easter Sunday lunch we had an impromptu afternoon visit to Naples for coffee (2 1/2 hours from where we were nearer Rome) where we walked with some of our relatives for 3-4hours. We love Naples – a very interesting and multi racial city with beautiful architecture and views of the bay of Naples and across to Vesuvius.
After a week of eating and drinking (apart from a doctor's visit to confirm Bronchitis and get more antibiotics) we headed down to Bari to catch the ferry on the 24th April to Dubrovnik and then on to Montenegro.

*All results from games played on Tuesday August 28th, 2012
Check out the 2012 Amazin' Avenue Pre-Season Top 50 Mets Prospects! And send all of your questions about the Mets farm system to firstname.lastname@example.com to see them answered here!
News & Notes________________
Yesterday we had a nice tweet regarding the Mets intriguing 2011 first-rounder; today it's a nice tweet regarding their intriguing 2012 first-rounder. From the official Brooklyn Cyclones twitter feed:
You'll remember that last season Phillip Evans capped his debut season with a short stay in Brooklyn as well (though in that case the org. pretty much just needed some who, you know, speaks English to accompany Domingo Tapia on his way from Kingsport).
Cecchini will spend the final eight games of the regular season with the Cyclones. In 53 games with Kingsport the 19-year old shortstop batted .246/.311/.330 with a homer and five stolen bases.
AAA - Buffalo Bisons (64-75)_______________________________________
ROCHESTER 10, BUFFALO 4 (Box)
Colin McHugh had a shortened outing, and he was lifted after a mere 69 pitches in the fourth. It was probably McHugh's last involvement with Buffalo, and it was also probably the last home game the Bisons will play as an affiliate of the New York Mets. I guess the nice thing about joining the PCL next year is that I'll be able to watch the Mets AAA affiliate regularly without having it conflict with the big league club (assuming of course that they are one of the teams with regular MILB.com coverage).
- 2B Jordany Valdespin: 0-4, BB, K
- CF Matt Den Dekker: 0-4, 2 K
- 3B Zach Lutz: 1-4, BB
- 1B Josh Satin: 2-4, R
- RHP Colin McHugh: 4.2 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 3 K, 2 BB, HR
AA - Binghamton Mets (65-71)_____________________________________
READING 12, BINGHAMTON 8 (Box)
Lot's of B-Mets had themselves nice nights at the plate, but the pitching in this one was pretty much awful. Wilmer Flores was certainly the man of the hour for Binghamton though, doubling and tripling in his 3 hit game. Juan Lagares and Jefry Marte were other notables with quality nights at the plate. The B-Mets have a full recap up that can be found here.
- LF Juan Lagares: 2-5, HR, 2 RBI, R
- 3B Jefry Marte: 1-3, 3B, BB, 2 RBI, R
- 2B Reese Havens: 0-1
- 2B Wilmer Flores: 3-5, 2B, 3B, K, 2 R
- SS Wilfredo Tovar: 0-3, BB, 2 K
- RHP Cory Mazzoni: 3.2 IP, 8 H, 6 ER, 5 K, 3 BB, HR
- RHP Armando Rodriguez: 2.1 IP, 3 H, 3 ER, 4 K, 0 BB, 2 HR
Hi-A - St. Lucie Mets (30-32)________________________________________
JUPITER 5, ST. LUCIE 4 (Box)
JUPITER 4, ST. LUCIE 2 (Box)
It was double dipper day for the FSL affiliate, and I bet most of them wish they had another rainout. That's probably not actually true, as Cory Vaughn had himself quite a day at the plate. All in all though, it was a very forgettable day in Florida.
- RF Cesar Puello: 1-3, HR, RBI, R / 0-3, K
- CF Darrell Ceciliani: 0-2, BB, R
- RF Cory Vaughn: 2-3, HR, 2B, 3 RBI, R / 1-3, BB, R
- 2B Danny Muno: 0-1, 2 BB, K / 2-3, BB, R
- 1B Richard Lucas: 1-3, K
- C Blake Forsythe: 0-3, K
- 3B Aderlin Rodriguez: 2-3
- CF Alonso Harris: 0-2, K / 2-4
- LHP Angel Cuan: 0.2 IP, 3 H, 4 ER, K, 2 BB
- RHP Erik Goeddel: 5.1 IP, 5 H, ER, 5 K, BB
- LHP Jack Leathersich: 1 IP, K
Lo-A - Savannah Sand Gnats (25-38)__________________________________
ASHEVILLE 6, SAVANNAH 5 (Box)
.All eyes are usually on Savannah when Domingo Tapia takes the hill, but last night was one of those "meh" kind of games. He had an excellent night as far as his walks and strikeouts were concerned, but the Tourists made the most of the 7 hits they managed off of Tapia, plating 5 of the 7 that eventually reached base. I'll take those peripherals though, and Tapia will be one to watch on the prospect rankings ahead of next season.
- C Cam Maron: 2-4, BB, RBI
- CF Gilbert Gomez: 2-4, BB, 2 K, 2 RBI
- DH Brian Harrison: 1-5, K
- 3B Dustin Lawley: 2-4, HR, RBI, R
- RHP Domingo Tapia: 6.1 IP, 7 H, 5 ER, 9 K, 0 BB, HR
- CF Brandon Nimmo: 1-5, 2B, BB, 2 K, RBI
- SS Philip Evans: 1-5, BB
- C Kevin Plawecki: 2-6, 2B, 2 K, RBI
- 1B Jayce Boyd: 2-5, HR, BB, RBI, R
- RHP Luis Cessa: 6 IP, 3 H, 3 ER, 4 K, 0 BB
Short Season A - Brooklyn Cyclones (41-27)__________________________________
BROOKLYN 6, ABERDEEN 3 (Box)
Brooklyn was the only afiliate in the organization that managed a win yesterday, and they needed it. Batavia swept their double header, so Brooklyn's win keep the Cyclones a full 2 games ahead of the Muckdogs in the NY-Penn League wild card race. With only 8 games still to play, maintaining that lead is critical for the Cyclones hopes of extending their season.
Appalachian League (R) - Kingsport Mets (23-43)__________________________________
PULASKI 5, KINGSPORT 2 (Box)
Another game, another tick in the loss column for Kingsport. All in all, this was the perfect way to cap a mostly losing night in the Mets farm system. Oh well, at least the Cyclones won.
- SS Gavin Cecchini: 1-5, R
- 2B Branden Kaupe: 0-2, 3 BB, K
- 1B Jeyckol De Leon: 2-4, 2B, K
- C Tomas Nido: 0-4
- LHP Juan Urbina: 2 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 2 K, 0 BB
★ Star of the Night ★
There were some pretty nice performances out there, but I have to give the nod to Wilmer Flores. He had a great night at the plate while playing second.
Goat of the Night
So who gets the goat of the night when basically everyone has a deserving candidate? Well for last night I'm going to go with Cory Mazzoni.

In-Q-Tel reportedly investing in firms that monitor, collect, and analyze social media activities on platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
By Deirdre Fulton / Common Dreams
Reflecting the CIA's "increasing focus on monitoring social media," the spy agency's venture capital arm, In-Q-Tel, has made investments in four social media mining and surveillance firms, The Intercept revealed Thursday.
According to a document obtained by journalist Lee Fang, In-Q-Tel is funding companies that monitor, collect, and analyze social media traffic and activities on platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. The investments were previously undisclosed.
For instance, Fang points to PATHAR, a social media intelligence company whose product, Dunami, is already being used by the FBI to "mine Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and other social media to determine networks of association, centers of influence and potential signs of radicalization," as confirmed last month by the Center for Investigative Reporting.
Another firm in In-Q-Tel's portfolio is Dataminr, which "directly licenses a stream of data from Twitter to visualize and quickly spot trends on behalf of law enforcement agencies and hedge funds, among other clients," Fang writes.
Geofeedia, also on In-Q-Tel's list, "promotes its research into Greenpeace activists, studentdemonstrations, minimum wage advocates, and other political movements," Fang reports. "Police departments in Oakland, Chicago, Detroit, and other major municipalities havecontracted with Geofeedia, as well as private firms such as the Mall of America and McDonald's."
FBI and CIA scraping of the internet for social media users' "digital dust" is hardly a new phenomenon.
In 2009, Wired reported that In-Q-Tel was "putting cash into Visible Technologies, a software firm that specializes in monitoring social media," as part of "a larger movement within the spy services to get better at using 'open source intelligence'—information that's publicly available, but often hidden in flood of TV shows, newspaper articles, blog posts, online videos, and radio reports generated every day."
And in 2011, the Associated Press wrote about the CIA's "Open Source Center, [where] a team known affectionately as the 'vengeful librarians' also pores over Facebook, newspapers, TV news channels, local radio stations, Internet chat rooms—anything overseas that anyone can access and contribute to openly."
However, Fang argues, "[t]he recent wave of investments in social media-related companies suggests the CIA has accelerated the drive to make collection of user-generated online data a priority. Alongside its investments in start-ups, In-Q-Tel has also developed a special technology laboratory in Silicon Valley, called Lab41, to provide tools for the intelligence community to connect the dots in large sets of data."
Such blanket data collection and analysis is worrisome to privacy advocates like Lee Rowland, a senior staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union, who told The Intercept: "When you have private companies deciding which algorithms get you a so-called threat score, or make you a person of interest, there's obviously room for targeting people based on viewpoints or even unlawfully targeting people based on race or religion."
Fang reported just last week on In-Q-Tel's investments in Skincential Sciences, a cosmetic company that has "developed a patented technology that removes a thin outer layer of the skin, revealing unique biomarkers that can be used for a variety of diagnostic tests, including DNA collection."

Digital certificates are files that contain personal information, such as data or access credentials. In Windows 10, it is usual that we have installed several digital certificates over time. When we do this, they are installed in a secure section within this operating system, for when it has to be used. In many cases, we don't know how many we have installed.
So you may have an interest at a certain point in know how many digital certificates you have installed in Windows 10. It is possible to check this in a way that is not complicated, as we will show you below. We only have to follow a few steps in the operating system.
How to View Installed Certificates in Windows 10 / 8 / 7
In Windows 10, we have a certificate manager, which is where all of them are kept. So if we want to see them at a certain time, all we have to do is open that manager, and we will have access to them. To access this administrator, we will simply use a command in the search bar.
We just have to enter certlm.msc in the search bar. We will get a result that matches, and we will then have access to this certificate manager that is in the operating system. Pretty fast, as you can see since, in a few seconds, we are in it.
Here we will be able to see all the digital certificates that are installed in Windows 10. As you can see, the administrator organizes everything into categories, so that it is easy to be able to locate a specific certificate, in case we are looking for it. We will not have problems when navigating in this administrator.
In this certificate manager in Windows 10, you can see them all, also delete a certificate if you want. So if you need to manage something in this case, you will have no problems, and you can do everything directly in it. Have you ever used this administrator before?

7 Reasons Why Winter Is Actually One Of The Best Times To Go To Egypt
Updated: Nov 20, 2022
When it comes to countries in the northern hemisphere, winter is usually not their best season -- unless their claim to fame is skiing.
And while Egypt is indeed in the northern hemisphere, it's a country of 364 sunny days a year. And if you're one of those people who hate to sweat, then most definitely winter is when you should hit up Egypt -- think sun, clear skies, a crisp breeze but *not* hot or humid… yes, such a place exists!
Whether you're looking for fun things to do, new things to eat, or just a cheap getaway in a warmer climate, below are reasons why your next Egypt trip should be booked some time November through March.
1. Luxor and Aswan's weather is unbeatable during winter months.
Lugging out your winter gear and grimacing at the thought of shoveling snow once again? Winter days in Egypt are sunny and balmy, and rain is almost a mythical creature in southern Egypt, so rarely does it happen.
Winter is the perfect time to take a trip down to Luxor and Aswan, where temperatures soar during summer months, making it almost impossible to wander through the dusty Valley of the Kings. Winter however finds Luxor and Aswan visitors in T-shirts and shorts during the day, and a light jacket at night.
2. Winter street food.
Egyptians are a cozy bunch, and during the winter they enjoy things that warm their hands and bellies. Walk down the vibrant streets of Cairo and you'll soon find yourself stopping in wonder at the sweet, smoky scent drifting towards you. It'll most probably be a sweet potato vendor, who walks his little cart around Cairo and roasts sweet potatoes for you that are so tender they practically fall from the skins.
Keeping walking and you'll find another vendor grilling corn on the cob, another great snack while wandering the streets. Hot drinks like "sahlab" (a warm milk-based drink), "hommos el sham" (a spicy tomato based drink flecked with chickpeas) and Turkish coffee will warm you to the toes. For more details, read 7 Egyptian Comfort Foods Perfect For Winter.
3. Off-season prices are now a year-long thing in Egypt.
While coronavirus did a number on Egypt's tourism, it did help with one thing – affordable prices for tourists now that Egypt is fully open again. It doesn't matter if your currency of choice is dollars, euros or British pounds, you'll find Egypt to currently be beyond cheap. Enjoy 5 star travel on a 3 star budget. Check our article on 10 cheap ways to enjoy Cairo.
4. Winter beaches? Egypt's Red Sea calls.
Most people, when thinking of Egypt, envision sand -- but not necessarily the beach kind. Egypt's gorgeous soft white sand beaches and azure waters unfortunately aren't as well known as they should be, even though they compete with some of the best in the world.
The Red Sea resorts and beaches (whether in Sharm el Sheikh, Dahab, Hurghada or Marsa Alam) are frequented year-long, and host some of the best diving, windsurfing and kitesurfing in the world. Truth be told, late December and January might prove a bit chilly for even the hardiest of swimmers, but October, November, late February and March all boast great beach weather.
5. You'll enjoy Egypt's multitude of attractions in peace without swarms of people snapping pictures.
Egypt has slowly but surely picked up its tourism after covid19, so now might be the time to strike while the iron is hot -- visit Egypt's bucket list items right before the crowds of old start to resurge. The smart ones who visit in the winter are also the lucky ones who can stand in awe of the Sphinx, the pyramids, the tombs, the temples and the rest of the relics of the pharaohs without elbowing their way through hordes of tourists in sweltering weather.
6. It's the perfect time for a cruise down the river Nile.
During the summer, the sun is so intense on the deck of the cruise ships that it has passengers scurrying for the protection of the air conditioned rooms below. Winter months are the perfect time to stretch out in the sunshine on the deck, feel the river breeze on your face, hear the water lapping below and just relax and sip your cocktail of choice.
7. You can engage in activities galore without worrying about heatstroke.
If you thought Egypt was short on adrenaline-pumping experiences, think again. Winter is the perfect time to try out some of the extreme adventures Egypt has to offer, whether it's kayaking from Aswan to Luxor, rock climbing in Dahab, dirt biking in the desert or trekking in Sinai. For a full list of awesome (but extreme) activities in Egypt, head here.

When Hannah's family has to move, her grandmother tells her how she felt leaving the old country ― it was both bitter and sweet. As Hannah leaves her friends behind and tries to get used to a new house, she only feels bitterness. Was her grandmother wrong about the sweetness?
Hannah starts to feel better about the move when she sees her new house in the soft light of the Shabbat candles. When a new friend reaches out with a special gift, Hannah realizes that sweetness can come from unexpected places and that she can even create some herself.
Featuring art by acclaimed illustrator Kyrsten Brooker, this story subtly conveys a universal message ― while life can be full of challenging moments, sweeter ones can be found and created. An author's note is included on the concept of bitter and sweet in Jewish culture.

Naar de Nederlandse siteWelcome at snorkelinfo.net. This site aims to bring information on snorkeling and, especially, snorkeling spots.
Snorkeling brings you to a brand new world. Just put your face in the water and you'll
feel like finding the fourth dimension.
You may find fish, sea-anemones, heremit lobsters, crabs and so on.
All you have to look for is clear water and a rocky/stony coast. Sandy beaches are generally speaking not exciting since they do not provide many different habitats.
Snorkelinfo.net presents useful information on snorkeling, focusing on the description
of the snorkeling possibilities of beaches, bays and lakes.
What do you need for snorkeling?
You don't need expensive material. All you really need is a good snorkeling glass
and a suitable tube. Be sure not to buy toy-stuff, they won't last very long.
Good shops have material for kids and adults. Kids get smaller glasses and, perhaps not expected, tubes with special mouth-ends. A well known and good available brand is Cressi-sub. The prices of good sets of snorkeltube + glass are some 25 Euro / 25 US Dollar for kids-sets and some 50 Euro / 50 US Dollar for adults.
Flippers are useful when you want to see a large area, and thus need to swim a lot. They also come in handy when you want to dive to the bottom every now and then. But you should not try this without a proper training!
A wet suit is needed when you want to stay in the water for a long time and when the water is cold.
What do you need to learn for snorkeling?
You may want to learn the basics in a swimming pool when you're still at home.
Many diving groups organise special snorkeling courses in swimming pools.
An essential thing to learn is to lay still and horizontal while breathing. You'll be surprised how easy this really is, but you won't learn it unless you really try.
When you're able to do that, fish will start moving when you're still and you will see much more details below you. It will also enable you to snorkel in shallow water.
Another useful thing is to learn some 'hand signals'. Of course you can talk with each other when you raise your head. But it is very convenient to comunicate through some important signals. The hand signals from diving are good for use in snorkeling too. But the most important thing is to talk on signaling before entering the water!
On the picture you see here, the snorkler is asking the photographer: "everything okay?". When it is, the other should respond with the same sign, saying "okay". So one sign for both the question and the answer. Other useful signs: "I'm cold", "shall we return", "stay still", "stay closer to me", "I'd like to dive down, okay?".
Risks during snorkeling
Of course snorkeling is not without risks. As with scuba diving, it is best
to always go in pairs. You can help each other and one sees things the other does not.
Waves may cause water to enter your tube.
The most important risk is panic. When you panic, your behaviour changes unpredictably, causing danger for yourself and others. Being with two will help a lot in reducing changes of panic. Moving easily and breathing restfull is another.
Best is to stay out of the surf, the area where the waves 'brake'. Here the water will not lift
you while it 'washes' you.
The combination of surf (waves) and sudden and large depth differences can be very dangerous. You may get swapped onto a rock, or pushed from a rock while you are standing on your feet.
An important thing to realise is that stones can hurt you dramatically. Try to keep clear from them. Remember that you hardly notice a wound when you are in the water, even when the wound is deep and large ! !
And then of course there are biological dangers, like jelly-fish, sharks and so on. About the picture: please don't try this yourself! Jelly fish can be nasty. The sting of the species in the picture (box jelly fish) is good enough for five days in the hospital!
Hopefully this description of the dangers did not scare you off.
Finding the camera best for you is a very difficult job. There are very many different (digital) cameras and the models change every six months or so. And of course the regular photo shop does not have a line up of water proof cases. Nor do they know the typical and crucial differences of the cameras for under water use.
Visiting a diving shop might help, or try to find a specialized shop. It might mean you will need to travel, but it will be worth the trouble.
Although we do not include advertisements on snorkelinfo.net, we can tell you we have some good experience with
the Canon S1 IS. Packed in the water proof case, you can still use the viewfinder. This viewfinder is in fact a mini
LDC screen. For snorkeling this can be better than the regular LCD screen on the back of a digital camera, since you will
be in high light conditions. We expect the normal LCD screen will be perfect when you're diving.
The picture beside this text has been taken with the S1 (no picture manipulation afterwards!) in the Grevelingen, a unique salt water lake in The Netherlands.

Currently, Sony's PlayStation Now (PS Now) instant games streaming service offers "a vast library of PS3 classics, blockbusters, quirky adventures" for both PS4 and Windows PC users. The offering is to get significantly more attractive later this year, as a post on the official PlayStation blog has announced that current gen PS4 titles will be added to the streaming service.
Before the PS4 games are added to the mainstream subscription service Sony will shortly begin private tests for active PS Now subscribers. In the next few weeks select PS Now users will get invitation emails which will allow them to dabble with streaming some PS4 titles to their PS4 or PC systems.
Sony says that the enhanced service will include cloud saves with PS4 titles so that you can "start a game on PS4 and continue playing on another PS4 or even a Windows PC (or vice versa)". As with the PS3 games currently available, Sony's streaming tech allows for quick play from a large range of PlayStation titles without needing to wait for downloads. PS4 game access won't require a separate subscription but will be part of the regular PS Now offering, says Sony.
At the time of writing PS Now offers nearly 500 PS3 games in its online library (or 350+ in the UK). Sony says the most popular titles in February included the likes of; Red Dead Redemption, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, and The Last of Us.
PS Now is available with a free 7 day trial to see if you like it or if it works well on your particular home network etc. In the UK it costs £12.99 per month. Sony hasn't solidified a date for its full rollout of PS4 gaming content within PS Now.

We work with various translation tools (also known as CAT tools or Translation Memories) which enable us to translate consistently. Please click here for a list of the tools we work with.
What is a translation tool?
Documents that are available in electronic and editable form (i.e. not scanned documents and pdf files) can be translated using translation tools. Translation Memories (TMs) (e.g. Trados Translator's WorkbenchTM) store source and target text during the translation process. Together, the source texts and their translations form so-called "translation units", which can be retrieved again at a later date. Each new sentence to be translated is compared with the translation units stored in the TM. If similar or identical source sentences are found, then the translation tool automatically suggests a translation for the sentence. Each proposed translation can be accepted and/or edited by the translator.
What are the advantages of working with translation tools?
Working with Translation Memories saves time and helps produce consistent translations whenever source texts and their translations closely resemble each other. Terminology programmes also help ensure that terms are always translated the same way throughout a project. Another advantage is that the original formatting of the source text is maintained.
Translation Memories can also be compiled from earlier translation projects, if necessary. For this, however, the original text and the translation must both be available in electronic form (e.g. as a Word file).

During our transition to more solid foods from purees was a bit longer of a process than I thought. For our little one she didn't get her first tooth until 11.5 months! She's a late bloomer there…but EVERYONE tells me that little ones that get teeth later have healthier teeth down the road, so we'll take that!! Plus, we'll see how true it is in years to come!
We tried stepping into solids from purees a time or two and she was not interested at all, infact she cried a couple of times. I knew she wasn't ready. Yet I knew when she got ready, she'd be ready all over! She loves to eat and snack! She would snack all day long if I let her but I don't! I try to make sure she has three solid meals and that snacks don't interfere with that. Don't get me wrong she eats plenty of snacks!!!!! I did notice once she was able to eat crackers and her organic cookies that her taste buds changed and she wasn't quite as keen on her veggies. So here are a few tips and tricks we found along the way to make sure she was getting a well rounded and balanced diet. Sometimes you just have to sneak in veggies, especially if they aren't too fond of the taste!
As you begin to transition from baby purees into solids a great stepping stone is the Gerber Lil Bits. They begin to thicken up the puree, and as it states, put lil bits in the puree. So developmentally they are taking baby steps into a bit more solids.
A few ways we like to get veggies in for our little Miss:
- Mix two of the Gerber Lil Bits Together. Elle's favorite combo was: Apple Blueberry with Mixed Carrots, Corn & Butternut Squash Sometimes you have to just give them a bite of fruit then a bite of veggies. Sometimes I'd mix them in a bowl together. Either way we made sure she got veggies along the way!
- Make a puree Smoothie. Another way to sneak in those good veggies for these babies is to make a smoothie using the baby food. You can look up as many baby smoothies as you wish on pinterest so I'll not bore you with more. Just simply put some fruit and some veggies in.
- Popsicle. Yes your toddlers will love popsicles. Blend together a fruit and a veggie puree and freeze. Simple! They'll never know!!! I'm telling you, these little tricks can do the wonder sometimes! We did the sweet potato, apple, carrot and cinnamon combined with a bit more apples.
- Let them explore. Sometimes this does the trick of letting them explore foods with their own hands and fingers. Developmentally they love it and it's great for their fine motor skills, they are so focused on feeding themselves they forget that they really don't like the taste!!!
Sometimes you have to slowly introduce veggies and don't be afraid to continue introducing a veggie they didn't seem too fond about at first. Our Elle didn't like puree green beans but she will eat them now that she is eating more solids and can pick them up with her little hands.
Hang in their mama's because your littles will get the hang of it sooner or later!!
Do you have any additional advice? I'm a first time mama so we'll take all the tips and tricks we can!

Adequate levels of trace minerals are important to skin, muscle, cartilage, teeth and bone development and repair, immune function, hormone regulation, and to control inflammation.
- Balanced combination of macro and micro minerals
- Calcium in the citrate form in a 1:1 ratio with magnesium in the malate form
- Calcium, magnesium, copper, manganese, zinc, and other trace minerals help maintain strong bones
- Zinc is essential for immune health and the proper action of many hormones
- Chromium and vanadium play an important role in blood sugar control and weight management
- Manganese and copper support cardiovascular health, wound healing, and bone and collagen formation

How to Play the Solar Market Now
Chinese solar stocks have been on fire lately. Most jumped by double digits on Wednesday after a similar jump last week, so there's some hope for these companies from investors. So what's going on with these stocks, and how should you play them?
China comes to the rescue
Last week's jump was after news of additional funding to install another 2.8 GW of solar in China. This has investors thinking that China will soak up a lot of the excess capacity at Chinese manufacturers by creating domestic demand.
The problem is, that amount of installations is only about the size of the capacity of Suntech Power , Yingli Green Energy , or Trina Solar , and there's still about 40 GW of overcapacity in the industry. Since shipments are down dby ouble digits sequentially at most manufacturers, it's hard to see how China alone could make up the slack for the industry.
While the subsidy news boosted stocks, so did the news that China would promote bankruptcies and mergers, which was a bit of a head-scratcher.
Let the weak fail
Since most of the Chinese manufacturers have built their capacity with state-run bank funding, the state will have to decide who fails and who doesn't. This is where Wednesday's announcement comes in. China's State Council said it will ban local government support for solar manufacturers, will cut support for the industry, and will let some companies fail.
Investors cheered the announcement, because this is just what the industry needs. Instead of fighting each other, these manufacturers should be trying to make a profit on their own. The big question for investors is -- who will survive?
Here's a look at just how bad the financial conditions have gotten at Chinese solar manufacturers.
Q3 Revenue
Q3 Gross Margin
Q3 Net Income
Net Debt
Suntech Power
$387 Million
$1.09 Billion*
Yingli Green Energy
$355.9 Million
($152.6 Million)
$1.91 Billion
Trina Solar
$298.0 Million
($57.5 Million)
$417 Million
Canadian Solar
$326.0 Million
($43.7 Million)
$887 Million
JA Solar
$260.9 Million
($59.1 Million)
$367 Million
LDK Solar
$291.5 Million
($95.9 Million)
$2.66 Billion
$218.2 Million
($78.6 Million)
$627 Million
Hanwha SolarOne
$153.7 Million
($51.3 Million)
$340 Million
$221.1 Million
($8.7 Million)
$474 Million
$2.51 Billion
$547.4 Million + Suntech's Loss
$8.77 Billion
Source: Company earnings releases.
Note: Suntech's results for Q2 and Q3 are not reported because of accounting challenges. Debt level noted is for Q1 2012.
There really aren't any sustainable companies in that group, so there's no clear winner from mergers or acquisitions. I find it unlikely that Suntech, LDK Solar, or Yingli Green Energy will have the balance sheets to be acquirers and they're most likely to end up out of business. Unless China forgives their loans, they simply can't make enough money to survive. It's possible that they could be buyout targets, but equity holders will be left with nothing, because no acquirer would take on their huge debt loads. Solar companies with huge debt loads and negative gross margins say -- do not touch!
JinkoSolar has the best gross margin and one of the best balance sheets in China. With a new $1 billion loan agreement to expand project development over the next five years, the company also has some stability, although cash is running low. Right now, JinkoSolar looks strong because it's selling most of its capacity, but why would it be a buyer unless the terms were advantageous?
JA Solar, Canadian Solar, and Trina Solar are all strong names in solar but they all have terrible margins. These three could be acquisition targets, and combining one or two of these mid-level companies may be something China will consider.
The bottom line is that there's no obvious solution. Right now, JinkoSolar may be in the driver's seat, but that's fleeting, and there's no clear acquisition target unless most of the target's debt is forgiven. Many of these companies will probably leave equity investors completely wiped out. It's a dangerous time to be betting on Chinese solar.
How to play consolidation
There is a way to play Chinese solar consolidation without throwing a dart at the names I've listed. SunPower and First Solar will both benefit from consolidation and have strong balance sheets and market positions. Even better, they don't have to worry about consolidation in China at all. If it happens, great. If it doesn't, installers will keep avoiding the terrible balance sheets in China.
With the U.S. and Europe expanding protectionism against the subsidized solar players I mentioned in this article's table, First Solar and SunPower are in position to gain more business in these two markets. The U.S. in particular is attractive, and First Solar dominates utility projects while SunPower dominates the residential market.
Investors and bystanders alike have been shocked by First Solar's precipitous drop over the last twelve months, and now the stakes have never been higher for the company. Is it done for good or ready for a rebound? If you're looking for our recommendation on how to play First Solar along with continuing updates and guidance on the company whenever news breaks, we've created a brand-new report that details every must-know side of this stock.

With the fun and excitement that are sure to fill Lake Charles this 4th of July weekend, additional dangers can surface, as well. Most notably are the risks that can stem from individuals who choose to drive a car or operate a boat or other watercraft after consuming too much alcohol.
Though law enforcement will be doing all they can to identify intoxicated motorists, there are likely to be more than a few that slip through these patrols. As such, make sure to keep an eye out for any motorists that you believe to be under the influence of drugs and alcohol and stay clear of them on the road.
Additionally, if you notice someone you believe to be intoxicated, report them to police as soon as you are able to get to a place where it is safe for you to use a phone. By reporting incidents of reckless driving, you can help the police get dangerous drivers off the road before they injure others or themselves.
Whatever you and your family plan to do this 4th of July, attorney [firm-name] and the rest of our legal team wish you a safe and fun holiday weekend!

C&F's predictions for the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Finish: SEC West Champion
General: In case you haven't caught this at some point this week, the only question for Alabama this year is the offense. The defense is scary good and should keep most of these games from being too terribly interesting. I'm not sure that Alabama fans should go ahead and reserve hotel rooms in Atlanta for the first week of December, but I don't see anything except maybe Ole Miss to keep them from getting there. One thing: Yes, I called the SEC Championship Game along with the rest of the them. It's weak, in my mind, to follow the all-too-common practice of projecting them to win the West and then not taking the next logical step of calling how that game will happen. Is it too early to do so? No more than it's too early to be calling the Iron Bowl the week before.
More specific: Alabama will go undefeated again ... in the SEC. I don't see anyone in today's college football going 24-0, but even so, Virginia Tech is a tough first draw for an inexperienced offense. No doubt at Ole Miss is the most challenging game in the regular season. Apologies to Kentucky -- I've said before that I don't predict any team except maybe Mississippi State against maybe Florida as a locked-in "win," but I did just that to UK earlier this year. That said, I think the Tide is likely to handle the 'Cats just fine.
9.5 :: vs. Virginia Tech (Atlanta) :: POSSIBLE LOSS
9.12 :: vs. Florida International :: WIN
