Hi all, as the title Reactive Java: Combining Mono(s) suggests, here we are going to use spring boot web flux to combine multiple Mono(s) into a single operation using the zipWith() method.
We focus a lot on non-blocking and asynchronous communication in a reactive micro-service architecture. Spring boot has provided the support for the same. Spring's support for Reactive micro-service is based on the MONO and FLUX API's at its core. What exactly does it mean to be reactive? The answer is the ability to react to a change almost immediately, like rendering of UI components on mouse click/hover actions.
The example of mouse clicks/hovering on UI is quite straight forward. One very important thing to consider with non-blocking reactive applications is back pressure. We have to provide ways to handle back pressure. In a non-blocking environment, it becomes important to control the rate of events so that a fast producer does not overwhelm its destination. This is where reactive streams comes into picture. Reactive streams defines the interaction between the asynchronous components with back pressure. The main purpose of reactive streams is to let the subscriber control how fast or slow a publisher produces data. Spring web flux uses project reactor at its core for providing the support of reactive streams. It provides the mono and flux API types to work on data sequences 0..1 and 1..n respectively.
In this post we will focus on:
1. How we combine multiple mono's together?
2. What could go wrong if we do not consider the basics?
Let us go through the following code snippets:
In the snippet's above we have defined a simple `BlogController.java` class. This gets you the blog details and its ratings. User has to provide a blog id in the request to get the details and blog rating. For the sake of simplicity we will use a static Map<Integer, String> as our backend data source. The code is quite simple. We inject a repository instance to our controller class, and then invoke the repository methods. We combine the result obtained from the 2 repository calls using the Mono.zipWith() function. Ideally, if our static map contains blog Id we should be able to see the blog detail and its rating. Now, let's run the service and try to hit the endpoint.
We can see that the response includes the blog name and rating for that blog. We were able to combine two mono's into one and manipulate their response. So far so good, but Wait!! Aren't we missing something? What happens if the blog id we send in the URL does not exist in our map? Will the second mono fetch the blog rating, if the first mono results empty? Will second repository call execute? Let's see…
Empty Mono
The easiest way to solve such a problem is to provide a switchIfEmpty() clause to your Mono calls. When our backend/3rd-party call results in a Mono.empty() we should not by pass the program execution. We should continue to execute the rest of the code statements. We should not halt the application processing. Therefore, we should be careful when combining the mono execution and should provide a fallback mechanism. Whenever the Mono results in an empty state the switchIfEmpty() method acts as a fallback. We can update the BlogController.java class to use the switchIfEmpty(). Let's see how that would help, see the updated controller below:
Now that we have added the switchIfEmpty() to the mono call this would provide a fallback when any mono results in empty. So there won't be a scenario that when the first repo call reslut in Mono.empty(), second call won't get executed. This way we can make sure that both the repository calls will execute. Let's confirm that by hitting the same endpoint for an invalid id:
It is clear from the above snapshot, both the repository calls execute and our fallback works as expected. That is how we improve the usage of zipWith() for mono chaining.
I hope you liked the blog, in a way that it would encourage you to code on your own and find other hidden aspects of Mono chaining in Spring. If you have any query regarding the topic please feel free to ask that in the comments section below. Any suggestions or improvements are more than welcome. As a result, i would be able to come up with a better one in the future. Happy coding. 🙂

Time to free up some space on those smartphones, Phoenix residents. As of this week, the food delivery service, UberEats, is available in metro Phoenix, meaning you can get food from some of the city's top restaurants delivered right to your front door. Or office door. Or the door to whatever place you might be in.
The app — brought to you by the same smart folks behind the ride sharing app, Uber — is pretty easy to use. Just sign in, enter a delivery location, browse through the list of local restaurants that have signed up to participate, order your food, and wait. Most orders take about 35 minutes to arrive. You can even watch your food as it makes its way to you, the same way you can watch an Uber driver on his or her way to pick you up.
And we're not talking about getting sandwiches and pizza delivered, guys. We're talking pork belly ramen, The Original Chopped Salad, and fried chicken skin po'boys. Food from restaurants including The Gladly, The Clever Koi, Short Leash Hot Dogs, The larder + the Delta, Crudo, Okra, Delux, Bitter & Twisted, and Tacos Chiwas is available for delivery through the UberEats app.
For now, delivery is available in downtown, midtown, and uptown Phoenix, as well as in Arcadia, the Biltmore, Old Town Scottsdale, and Central Scottsdale from 8 a.m. to midnight, seven days a week. Best of all, for a limited time, delivery is free.

To James Madison from William Eaton, 18 March 1802 (Abstract)
§ From William Eaton
18 March 1802, Tunis. Adds to what he wrote in the enclosed letter to Rufus King that on arriving in Tunis, he found Hamet Pasha "yielding to his brother's instances and on the point of departing for Derne a Province of Tripoli, the Government of which is promised him." Has refused Hamet's request for a passport and "told him very candidly that if he departed we must consider him in the light of an enemy," even to the extent of carrying him and his retinue as prisoners of war to America. Has assured him "if he would adhere to his former arrangements I did not doubt but that before the expiration of four months he might be offered to his people by an American Squadron. I tell him the sole object of his brother is to cut his throat." The bey has refused Hamet further provisions, so he proposes awaiting the outcome in Malta. Eaton has consented only to his going to Leghorn or Sardinia. "If he departs on other terms I shall send an armed Ship after him, & if possible carry him and retinue to some Italian Port." Adds that Captain McNeill stopped at Tunis on 29 Jan. since when there has been no news of him. In a 26 Mar. postscript, states that Hamet Pasha "has manifested an unequivocal disposition to come into my plans heretofore detailed; he is assured of a revolution in his favor if he can be offered to his people with Sufficient show of force: but he is surrounded by Turks and Arabs Subjects of his brother sent him as protectors, in so much that he cannot act." Encloses copies of his plans. "If they succeed it will be productive of incalculable advantages if they fail I am conscious of having exposed myself to the imputation of at least too much Zeal."
RC (DNA: RG 59, CD, Tunis, vol. 2, pt. 1); letterbook copy (CSmH). RC 3 pp.; in a clerk's hand, signed by Eaton; marked "Copy. A." and enclosed with Eaton's 4 Apr. dispatch. Printed in Knox, Naval Documents, Barbary Wars description begins Dudley W. Knox, ed., Naval Documents Related to the United States Wars with the Barbary Powers (6 vols.; Washington, 1939–44). description ends , 2:90–91. Postscript not on letterbook copy. Enclosures not found, but enclosures B through E in Eaton's 4 Apr. dispatch are apparently duplicates of those sent with the original of this letter (see Eaton to JM, 4 Apr. 1802, and n. 1).
A full transcription of this document has been added to the digital edition.

Dear Me,
When you read this Tiger will no longer be a baby and even though Mr C has said we can't have any more kids you are probably starting to wonder whether you could persuade him to change his mind. You will be remembering the cuddles, the giggles and that scrumptious baby smell. You are even starting to think that giving birth is 'not that bad'.
Well luckily I knew this would happen so here I am to remind you of the things your mind will have cleverly forgotten.
Teething – Remember when you were feeding Tiger and he would clamp down on your nipple before twisting his head to the side. It HURTS! Then there is the moaning and sleep disturbances that come with teething, it's not fun for anyone.
Sitting in the shade – We have just had our first sunny summer in 7 years and you spent the whole of it in the shade because babies don't like / can't sit in the sun.
Bouncing – Tiger would start moaning and within an instant you would have resumed the bounce. Yes it's exercise but think of your knees, you are not getting any younger.
No hot food / drinks – Babies know when you are about to eat dinner or drink a cup of tea and all of a sudden they need your attention.
Hellish Car Journeys – Don't you remember the times you had to sit through ear piercing screams because even after stopping ten times Tiger still wasn't happy to go back in his car seat. Or the times you had to jump in the back and squash between Cherry and Tiger's seats to try and distract him from screaming?
Separation anxiety – You are remembering the cuddles and giggles aren't you? Well what about the screams that occurred every single time you put Tiger down to do something?!!
And let's not forget sleep – Just when you got confident and thought maybe you had a baby who understood sleep, it all went wrong and Tiger starting waking once an hour requiring you to feed him back to sleep. You couldn't get annoyed because you knew it was your fault. You knew you were supposed to always try and 'put him down awake' but it wasn't that easy because you are lazy and when you were tired it was easier to feed him for those couple of extra minutes to make sure he was in a deep sleep before you put him down.
Babies are amazing and I know this won't change your mind if you have your heart set on having another one but I did my best.
And when you are driving in a car listening to a screaming baby with puke all over your shoes and a cold cup of tea in your hand, don't say I didn't warn you.
But of course you wouldn't change it for anything because at the end of the day it's all worth it.

With cheap rent and a diverse musical community, Montreal has a reputation as a creative mecca for aspiring artists. Graphic: Okayplayer
10 Montreal R&B Singers You Should Be Checking For
When it comes to R&B, Montreal offers tons to explore, and we're here to help you get started. Here is a list of 10 Montreal R&B singers you should know about.
Toronto has had enough shine. The dominance of Drakehas done wonders for many Canadian artists, but the country has far more talent beyond The Six.
With cheap rent and a diverse musical community, Montreal has a reputation as a creative mecca for aspiring artists. It's a small big city, one that is easily navigable via bike or transit, making it an ideal location for young people with a flair for adventure.
The city is also one of the few major markets within the United States and Canada in which English isn't the dominant language. This puts French-speaking artists in a position to flourish – many are able to tour year-round throughout the province of Quebec alone. The situation gives anglophone musicians a unique underdog stance, one they can often use in their advantage for engaging with the tightly-knit scene – not to mention the potential to gain government grant money for recording, due to their minority position.
In the mid to late-2000s, the city broke indie rock favorites like Arcade Fire, Mac DeMarco, and Grimes. More recently, producers such as Kaytranada, Lunice, and High Klassified have made electronic-heads keep a close eye on the city, with bubblings of hip-hop poised as the next scene to blow in the imminent future.
But what about R&B?
There isn't a The Weeknd of Montreal. With no definite leader of the city's R&B scene, experimentation runs freely. Artists tend to be more supportive of each other, adopting the mindset that they are stronger together than apart. Their hope is that if one act can achieve considerable notoriety, the world could start paying proper attention to the city's musicians.
With the whole world at a standstill, now is the time to discover new music. We've handpicked some of Montreal's brightest R&B stars in the making.
Shay Lia
Remember the girl dancing uncontrollably throughout Kaytranada's infamous Boiler Room set? Turns out she is also a talented vocalist, not to mention one of the producer's most frequent collaborators. Born in Djibouti and raised in France, Lia moved to Montreal in 2012 for school, quickly creating connections with the right people to jump start her career.
She first made waves for her feature on Kaytranada's "Leave Me Alone", the first single of off 2016's 99.9%. Since then, Lia has been working hard. She has released two standout EPs, Dangerous in 2019 and Solaris in 2020. The former project was longlisted for the Polaris Music Prize, one of Canada's most prestigious music awards.
Lia's soft-spoken voice works wonders over the beatmaker's sultry soundscapes. It is rare to find such a perfect pairing of singer and producer dynamic in this day and age. The early rumblings of Lia and Kaytra dance-daze can be likened to an energy found in the '80s via Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder. However, she is more than just a Kaytranada collaborator. Lia used her two solo projects to diversify her bonds and prove she is a bankable act in her own right.
Zach Zoya
Everybody loves a dark horse story. Who would've thought that one of the city's top talents would hail from a small town, five hours away from Montreal?
Born in Rouyn-Noranda, Québec, Zach Zoya popped up on the scene in late 2017, seemingly out of nowhere. Since then, the crooner has been quick to dominate any tune he touches. Zoya takes a slow jam vocal approach over high octane beats, serving up an exciting fusion of hip-hop and R&B.
For years, there hadn't been a local track to ring off quite as poignantly throughout Montreal nightclubs and festivals as "1919." Produced by High Klassified, the sinister song feels like the theme music for taking over the city. The two were quick with a follow up, dropping a collab EP, Misstape, for summer satisfaction.
Zoya is equally as talented at singing as he is at rapping. His talents earned him a label deal with Universal Music Canada, which national legend Kardinall Offishal helped him secure. His debut major label release, Spectrum, features flows upon flows and an array of collaborators. Boi-1da, Angel, and Matthew Burnett are just some of the seasoned producers that appear on the project.
We all love a late bloomer. Yonatan Ayal first stepped on the scene under the alias xSDTRK in the late 2000s. He built up an impressive portfolio of production credits, including a hand in tracks by Usher, Jennifer Lopez, and Chloe x Halle.
In 2017, Ayal decided to take the artist route. It took trips around the world establishing his artistry to come home and connect with guitarist Pierre-Luc Rioux to form Chiiild. (Rioux has played guitar for the likes of Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Quebec's reigning Queen Celine Dion.)
The duo's lyrics are beautifully unconventional. "If there's a God, I hope she's Black, And when I die she brings me back, back to life, back, back to life," are lyrics on "Back to Life", the second single off of their recently released EP, Synthetic Soul.
The duo look to keep their momentum going into the new year. They will soon drop their debut album, Hope For Sale. They have also collaborated with Emotional Oranges on their track, "Bonafide."
Clerel has been likened to both Sam Cooke and Leon Bridges, with a voice as warm as a fireside on a cool winter night. He brings the soulful taste of the aforementioned artists into his own realm, incorporating sparse acoustic backing for minimalistic delight. He first rose to prominence last year when appearing on La Voix, Quebec's version of The Voice, where he stunned crowds with renditions of Al Green and Les Respectables alike.
Despite the ongoing pandemic, Clerel has managed to keep busy performing virtually. The singer has been in heavy rotation on the online touring circuit. He has performed everywhere from the Montreal International Jazz Festival's Jazz Is in the Air event, to the Toronto-based Wavelength Winter Festival. Clerel's virtual icing on the cake? A performance of "Blackstone" as part of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert's #PlayAtHome series.
A hidden gem in Montreal's R&B scene is MINOE. Her stage name is a nod to her Nova Scotian roots, a play on words with "minnow." The musician made the move to Montreal to study at Concordia University.
MINOE is not as prolific as others on the list, having only released three singles thus far. Despite the low-profile, the artist always delivers content as meaningful as it is pleasurable. Her voice is a commanding presence yet maintains a smooth gentleness through and throughout.
Her latest single, "Crazy", earned her a spot on Apple Music's Best New Music list on the week of February 19th. The song is a vulnerable reflection of a toxic relationship she experienced a year ago.
Many of the Montreal music scene's harshest critics are in fact the artists within it. The term "crab mentality" is often thrown around, others feeling as if they are big fish in a small pond.
Looking to explore her full career potential, a then 21-year-old Zeina packed her bags to Los Angeles earlier this year and never looked back.
"I slept on the floor for a whole year. I wasn't at all in a good neighborhood — I was in the hood," she said of her first year in LA.
If her 2017 breakthrough EP, Odd One Out, is any indication, Zeina has a fruitful future ahead of her. The singer is a master of vibes, with many of the project's tracks feeling ready to shop around to pop princesses like Rihanna or Ciara. Zeina is yet to release another project but has put out tons on stellar singles. It's tunes like "Consequences" and "Suburbs" that have further cemented her strong aesthetic as one of the city's strongest R&B forces.
Black Atlass
Black Atlass music brings R&B back to the bedroom, with lush production soundscapes sure to set the mood.
Atlass, who is signed to The Weeknd's XO imprint, also holds many ambitions beyond music, with fashion also a top priority to him. The energy has been reciprocated by the industry — Fleming's songs have been used in commercials for the likes of Saint Laurent and Louis Vuitton, along with earning modeling gigs for Alexander Wang and Dior.
His XO debut, Pain & Pleasure, was nominated for a JUNO Award, the Canadian equivalent to a Grammy. His follow up, Dream Awake, is just as brilliant bedroom music. With four eclectic acts signed to the XO label, none match head honcho Abel Tesfaye's sound or aesthetic better than Black Atlass.
Kallitechnis is good for the soul. Representing the Mile-Ex area to its fullest, the singer's name is Greek for, "master of his art" Her sound is a throwback to the neo-soul era, as conscious as it is endearing.
Kalli is a true "work smart" type of artist; her next move is always her best. Her three most recent accolades? A performance at Osheaga (often dubbed "Coachella of Canada"); a guest feature on Innanet James' "Better Without You" alongside Pusha-T; and a week in Los Angeles being mentored by the legendary Babyface.
"He's really shaped the type of music that I do, the entire genre of soul and R&B. It was really an honor to be in his presence," Kallitechnis explained of the experience.
Shortly after the trip, the singer released her debut EP, Chromatic. The project is a colorful soundscape that paints a picture of Kalli's elaborate artistry. With a couple of handfuls worth of singles since its release that are just as warm, expect a new project from Kallitechnis in no time.
Emma Beko
Vulnerability is a gift when expressed appropriately. For Emma Beko, such a quality in their lyricism is one of the most compelling reasons to give her a listen. Relationships and heartbreak are a common theme for this artist, with select songs raw enough to feel like an open invitation to a couple's therapy session.
Beko earned her stripes as one half of Heartstreets, a duo that garnered notoriety across the province with a heavy touring itinerary over the years. Backed by the sounds of some of the city's most brilliant beatmakers — Kaytranada and Ryan Playground, to name a few — Heartstreets knew the strings to strike listeners' emotional cords. Beko's solo career continues such a journey in brilliant fashion.
Kae Sun
Many of Montreal's finest R&B acts have their own histories before moving to the city. Born in Ghana, Kae Sun spent time exploring the world before finally settling in Montreal towards the end of 2016. The singer, born Kwaku Darko-Mensah Jr., takes his cross-cultural experiences as a large source of inspiration.
"In Ghana, creativity is something that you live and experience. In North America, you have to figure out how to live first before the creativity comes. There's a clear separation," he told Red Bull Music in 2018.
Kae Sun recently released Midnight & Other Endings, an EP backed by the singles "Bright Lights" and "404 Errors." The project doubles as a short film, with Mensah taking the concept of "visual storytelling" to a new level. With Montreal offering a plethora of collaborative opportunities, Kae Sun is a perfect example of capitalizing off of the city's tight-knit community.T

Mr. Wavvy was born and raised in Montreal. Legend has it that his ghost still haunts the city's Olympic Stadium, waiting for the day that the Expos will return. You can follow him on Twitter and Instagram.

Women continue to make history in Congress
WASHINGTON (Gray DC) - There are now more women serving in the Congress than ever before in U.S. history. Yet, women are still highly underrepresented on Capitol Hill.
Despite accounting for nearly 51% of the population, women represent only 28% of the combined seats in the House & Senate. It's a fact that's not lost on the women who are still achieving 'firsts' in Congress, nearly 100 years after the 19th Amendment granted women the right to vote.
Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.) and Rep. Becca Balint (D-Vt.) are two lawmakers whose election victories in 2022 have smashed barriers in Congress.
For Balint, her election win in Vermont means that all 50 states have now sent a woman to Congress.
"The history I've made so far. First woman ever to represent the state of Vermont in Congress. And, also the first openly gay person to represent Vermont in Congress. So feeling really excited about both those things," said Balint.
Senator Britt is making history too for Alabama. She calls the achievement 'humbling and exciting.'
"I was unaware when I ran until I read it in the paper that I am the youngest female ever elected on the Republican side of the aisle to the U.S. Senate. And, I am currently the only Republican female with school-age children. And so, I would just say how grateful I am to the people of Alabama for giving me an opportunity to fight for them, to fight for their children. I am working hard," she said.
Both Balint and Britt recognize the challenges women candidates can face. Balint said it's difficult to run for office period, but women have other hurdles to overcome.
"When I first ran for office, I was running for State Senate and I had my announcement and I was very excited. And within 48 hours, I had an anonymous letter to my home saying that I should not be running for office, that I was a mom, and that I had my priorities all wrong and that my kids would never forgive me, essentially. Now, I don't think that any of the men who came before me ever received any kind of missive like that. And so I talked to my colleagues. I know we've all had similar experiences. And so there is that that barrier of how we're perceived, you know, when we put ourselves out there," she said.
Britt said women and young candidates need support.
"First we've got to say it. We need you. And, I hope that people across our great state hear that. But also, to your point, we've got to make sure that when people do step out there, that we support them. Because the truth is, we say we want more people to get engaged, but when you step out there, it's really lonely. And so when you see somebody that is fighting for our values, fighting for people whose heart and passion and determination is going to move our state and our nation forward, stand in there with them," said Britt.
Balint adds, there is a fundraising gap and women candidates tend to have to 'fight' to raise money for their campaigns.
"We have to do it, though, because bills that are created by women in conjunction with their male colleagues are going to be better than bills that are just crafted by men," Balint said.
The Center for American Women and Politics reports women hold 150 of the 535 seats in Congress. Of those seats, 107 of the women lawmakers are Democrats, 42 are Republicans, and one is an Independent.
Balint believes the platform of the Democratic Party appeals to a greater number of women due to the party's support of reproductive rights, its focus on the gender gap & wealth gap, and the party's focus on working families.
"I think about it every day in terms of what do I get to say in committee? What do I get to say in those individual conversations with my colleagues that might not be said if I weren't a woman or if I weren't part of the LGBTQ community? So I feel a responsibility for my community back home to represent all of Vermont. And, you know, and of course, part of that is the experience of women now," Balint said.
Britt, meanwhile, believes the Republican Party appeals to women because she said it is the party of parents and "hard-working Americans." She said she ran because she can give a voice to that.
"I don't have to ask somebody what it's like to go to the grocery store and where milk is cheaper or how much more expensive eggs cost or how much it costs me to now run my children around from, you know, volleyball practice to football practice to play basketball with their friends. Those are things that are real. I don't have to ask people what it's like in the classroom with children right now. I am living that every single day," Britt said.
As a former teacher, Balint said she wants to be remembered as a lawmaker who inspires others. She said her reason for running was two-fold - to protect democracy and alleviate suffering. She shared this advice to women who are considering running for office.
"Here's what I would say. I think as women, we get shy about asking people to mentor us. And, I think your mentors can come in all shapes and sizes. And, I certainly have had mentors throughout my life. Some are women, some are men, some are came from unlikely sources," said Balint.
As for Britt, she shares this advice.
"It is not lost on me what this means for little girls all across our state. I have said that the world does place limitations on us, but it is the ones we place on ourselves that do the most damage. And so, if this gives a little girl somewhere across our great state, the hope to do something more, the hope to be something better, the knowing that she can achieve them, by gosh, it is a good day," said Britt.
In 1916, Jeannette Rankin of Montana became the first woman ever elected to Congress.

She is an extremely big momma, there is no other animal in the land who gives birth to a big baby. An elephant is pregnant for a record 22 months period, even with that the sole idea to give birth to a 200 pound baby wouldn't seem so bad. Compared to the human size of a baby wich represents 5% of the moms weight, the baby elephant is half the size of the human baby compared to the size of its mom relatively speaking.
Elephants are extreme moms cause they do not only give birth to big babies, but they also are grand mothers in these matriarchal societies. All the males are forced out to stay single or to join bachelor groups. With so many moms in the herd is no wonder these babies are rised with tons of affection.
9 – Koala
From Australia, when it comes down to devotion this mom reaches new heights. She is able to spend 90% of the day asleep to look after her baby. Its her extreme digestion that safeguards her baby the turns her into a extreme mom. It is the only animal that eats the poisonous leaves of the eucalyptus tree. It manages to survive on this deadly diet thanks to a special digestive bacteria that detoxifies the leaves. Koala babies are not born with this pack of bacteria so her mom pass them on from their mother's droppings.
8 – Alligator
This mom is definitely deadly, especially when around the compost she likes to call the "nest". It's easy to believe she has no maternal intincts at all, especially when her babies end up between those massive teeth. So why this mom has to eat her own babies?
At first glance, the compost she arranges could seem to be a poorly designed nest, but it isn't so, it build in such way to provide enough heat for the eggs inside. Thus, this extreme mom doesn't have to touch the eggs for then next two months. The only problem is that she makes sure nobody gets closer enough to the nest.
Alligator moms also use sound to find out if their babies are ready for the outside world. When she listens sound coming from the nest, it means for her it's due time to start digging. But she doesn't eat her own babies, she just carry them in a safe armor to a better enviroment for them. This extreme mom is actually the world's biggest bodyguard.
7 – Polar Bear
Living in one of the most extreme conditions, she is one extreme mom in more than one way. Polars bears by nature are loners, then finding a mate can be tricky sometimes. A male can track a female footprints for more than 60 miles, but he is just in the quest for one thing, once done she is left alone again and the hard work begins since she has to find enough food to double her weight in order to avoid reabsorbing the fetus inside.
After gained all that weight you won't see a clue of her whereabouts for at least two months when she dissapears inside her snowcave to hybernate. A polar bear baby is blind, toothless and very very cute. Her sleepy mom feeds the baby with a very rich milk plenty of fat for the next 10 weeks.
6 – Cheetah
The cheetah is one the most hardworking moms in the African lands cause she lots of mouths to feed, meaning she has to spend all day producing milk to feed their babies. But that is just the easy part. After 6 weeks the babies are more than ready to hunt, not to mention it doen't get any easier for mom when they are teenagers.
The cheetah is an extreme mom because she has to spend two years looking after the kids playing around or trying to join for the hunting, they learn that by watching closely to her mom in action as she readies to attack her victim.
As soon the kids learned to hunt she leaves to start a new family.
5 – Orangutan
When it comes to homemaking, not even the busiest human mom is a match for the orangutan mom because she builds a new home every single night. That means a lifetime of building more than 30,000 homes from scratch, so at the end of the day she doesn't have time to hang around.
4 – Hornbill Bird
This mom has the record of staying at home for more time, but for a very obvious reason, she builds her home in the trunk of a tree with her own droppings to avoid the threat of predators around while nurturing her baby for more than 60 days, while dad is freely flying getting the supplies for mom and the baby. The only problem with these sealed confinement is that whatever comes in shoud come out, so she and her baby quickily learn the basics of hygiene.
3 – Elephant Seal
On the islands of the south Antarctic, the show begins when mom comes out to the shores to meet her leading man, he has a big reputation, mainly because he is four times her size. But she is not light weight, on a good day she can weight about like six refrigerators. It is not easy being this big.
For this extreme mom, life certainly is a beach and seems to be easy, but could you imagine to manage being pregnant for about 11 months, almost a year! Eleven months of having to eat for two, so she has to put herself on a especial regime to gain weight, all that fat she put on before giving birth is converted into milk. She losses 20 pounds every day she feeds her baby. So these babies got heavier in as little as four weeks since their birth and their poor moms haven't eaten a thing!
After one month of dramatic devotion to duty, moms leave the children by their own and go at last to get something to eat.
2 – Octopus
This mom is really something especial! She has to look after 50,000 babies, so she certainly needs each of her eight arms. In the end, it will require the ultimate sacrifice from her. She lives her life at a fast pace, mainly because she has to pack everything in less than a year to ready for becoming a mom.
Going from egg to become an adult in twelve months means eating a lot! And finally, she has to find a secure place where she can lay eggs of her own away from the menacing predators. It's a full time job, she has to wash gently the eggs with her tentacles everyday, which means, she has no time to eat. It will be 40 days for her children to leave home, so these extreme moms get really hungry.
It has been known that some octupus moms have eaten their own arms rather than leaving the eggs unprotected. Happily enough, at the end she won't have to suffer from the emptiness syndrome, since she had 50,000 reasons to fight for! Though, the exhaustion would be so hard she won't even had the strenght to fight for her own life whe she finally frees herself from her kids.
1 – Sea louse
This mom is by all means the most extreme of all moms in the world, thanks to her ungrateful offspring! Who are real psychos in the natural world.
Let's get real here! Having kids should be the last thing she should do. Since the moment the sea louse male get into the female pants, things go terribly wrong. First, the female is kidnapped by the male and then raped with other females, up to 25 females that are taken hostage altogether. Now they are all pregnant, they have no reason to look forward the birthday unlike us, humans! We even have one especial day for moms to celebrate all she does for us, such is our gratitude to them!
Sadly, we cannot say the same about the psycho sea louse babies, since dozens of them have eaten her mom right from the inside, who kill their own mom as they escape their way from her, literally splitting her apart.
This mother really makes the ultimate sacrifice for her children, so there is no doubt that when it comes to motherhood the sea louse female is the most extreme mom!

The Philadelphia 76ers pulled off a trade for 20-year-old point guard Tony Wroten on Thursday, as first reported by Adrian Wojranowski of Yahoo! Sports, and I loved it, but I received mixed feedback from Orlando Magic fans when I tweeted this response to the news:
The deal that Philly just got is sort of something I wish Orlando would have done.— Tyler Lashbrook (@lashy) August 22, 2013
So I wanted to use this post to elaborate on my thoughts on the trade and why I would have liked to see the Magic pursue a similar deal this offseason.
I loved this trade for Philly for myriad of reasons. The fact that Wroten is over a year and a half younger than the 76ers' 11th overall pick, Michael Carter-Williams, is preposterous. Wroten's a 6-foot-6, high-energy combo-guard with all the physical tools to play both guard positions
I also love the competition that it creates for Carter-Williams. It gives Philly a young, feisty, scrappy guy, in Wroten, to push its 21-year-old point guard of the future.
But the beauty in the trade is that it's not going to help Philadelphia win this year. At all. Wroten and Carter-Williams are going to clank shots off the rim all season. If they are paired in the backcourt together, they could very well be the worst-shooting tandem in NBA history. The Wroten/Carter-Williams backcourt tandem--with Evan Turner at small forward, are you kidding me?--will shoot on the wrong side of 40 percent from the floor.
And that's totally okay for the Sixers. With each brick going up, a ping pong ball gets stacked on Philly's side, and that's exactly what it wants.
So, let's get this straight: the 76ers picked up an athletic combo guard who averaged 12 points, six rebounds, and four assists per 36 minutes in his first NBA season, for a "future second-round pick." AND he won't help them win? So they still drive the pace car in the Race For Andrew Wiggins? I understand Wroten's efficiency was terrible -- as highlighted by his 46.1 True Shooting percentage and 22.7 turnover rate -- but that's okay. He was born in 1993.
So why did I want to see Orlando make a similar deal? Well, why not?
Why wouldn't the Magic want to take a cheap look at young, unproven point guard? A "future second-round pick" is at the bottom of the NBA Trade Food Chain and, well, the Magic kind of need a young point guard. Jameer Nelson is tilting on the wrong side of 30, and Ronnie Price has never played more than 14.4 minutes per game or shot over 43.1 percent in his eight-year career. The jury is still out whether Victor Oladipo can even spell the point guard position for small stretches, let alone play there full-time.
Two guys similar to Wroten intrigue me: Isaiah Thomas from the Sacramento Kings and Kendall Marshall from the Phoenix Suns. Thomas is the much more proven player: in his first two seasons, he's started 99 games for the Kings and put up career averages of 13 points and 4 assists on 44.3 percent shooting. It's fair to wonder whether the Kings would part with its young point guard for just a future second-round pick, but Sacramento did trade for Greivis Vasquez and then signed rookie Ray McCallum to a three-year contract. And word Jimmer Fredette is still there. With that depth, a second-round pick starts to sound not-so-bad to unload Thomas and the nearly $2 million left on his deal.
The Suns, on the other hand, might part ways with their 22-year-old point guard a lot more quickly if another team dangled a future second-rounder in front of them. Phoenix traded for Eric Bledsoe and still has Goran Dragic, which completely buries Marshall on the depth chart.
Marshall, a 6-foot-4, pass-first point guard from the University of North Carolina, struggled in just about every aspect that he was criticized in leading up to the 2012 NBA Draft. Marshall was practically a matador on defense, couldn't shoot, and couldn't get to the free-throw line. But Marshall still has an absurd assist rate and was a lottery pick in the summer of 2012. For the Magic, he might be worth a future second-round pick.
Not acquiring a young point guard this offseason doesn't mean the end of the world for the Magic. They likely wouldn't have found anyone to be the point guard of the future. Maybe general manager Rob Hennigan didn't see his guy in this year's crop of free agents. Maybe no trade offer was good enough for Hennigan to pull the trigger on. Most likely it's just the dog days of August and I'm speculating nonsensical things to keep me stimulated until basketball comes back.
I think that's probably it.

Years ago, I briefly worked in a popular lunch bar where my main task was stacking piles of sliced bread. Thin pieces of cheap chicken breast, tasteless bacon, a layer of iceberg lettuce, mayonnaise combined with some hope that it remained upright whilst I stuck a skewer through it. A bowl of chips on the side and it's ready! I made so many club sandwiches it made me completely miserable.
From horse club to hotel lobby
The story goes, the club sandwich originated from the exclusive New York Club where people could bet on horse races – it was here that it was first served. Also known as the 'Clubhouse Sandwich', the club sandwich has been popular for many years, but it is often not well made. Menus of hotels, chic lunchrooms and expensive restaurants normally give the club sandwich a prominent place on their menus. Often with bacon and lettuce, sometimes with smoked salmon, ham or roast beef. Generally put together without any passion; the cheap, badly toasted, white processed bread and bacon without flavour, which make it a sad sandwich.
Club Sandwich with love
But it can be different. About a month ago Club Koffie opened its doors around the corner from me. A sweet place with the ambition to serve the best club sandwich in town. Here, no white factory bread, only strongly made sandwiches with good hearty ingredients. Chiel, the owner, brings new exciting combinations. Goat cheese and radish, steak tartar, or mackerel and wakame salad are some of the options.
Fancy a real club sandwich? Go and try it for yourself.

Introduction: DIY Screen Printing at Home - Using Your PhotoEZ Stencil.
The following is how to use your finish PhotoEZ stencil.
Step 1: Tape the Edges of Your PhotoEZ Stencil.
Use blue painters tape or any low tack tape to create a frame around your PhotoEZ stencil. This step is optional and helps prevent overrunning your project with ink.
Before stenciling your t-shirt, be sure to put a piece of cardboard between the front and back to prevent any ink from bleeding through.
Step 2: Ink One Edge of Your PhotoEZ Stencil.
Place a liberal bead of silkscreen ink along one edge of your PhotoEZ stencil.
Too little ink will cause voids in your design so do not be afraid to use more than appears necessary. Any excess can be put back in the container.
Step 3: Squeegee Ink Over PhotoEZ Stencil.
Keep your squeegee at approximately 45° and push the bead of ink across the stencil.
To prevent ink from bleeding under your stencil, avoid sharp squeegee angles or brushing motions. To prevent voids in your design, be sure to use plenty of ink.
Be sure to visit our web site for more tips.
Step 4: Carefully Lift Your PhotoEZ Stencil.
Carefully lift one corner of your stencil while inspecting your design. If you notice any voids carefully replace your stencil and squeegee more ink to cover the voids. This only works if your stencil or project did not move or shift otherwise you'll get a double shifted imprint.
Step 5: Enjoy!
Before washing or wearing your garment, be sure to follow the manufacturers recommended procedure to set the paint/ink. This usually entails heat setting your garment with an iron set on high for 30 seconds or so.

For those who're looking for a sport to get misplaced in, these are the very best open worlds you want to discover. This actually makes it simpler to find what the setting has to offer, positive, but it surely also robs the player of the feeling of discovery. Origins marks a transition for Murderer's Creed, from open-world motion adventure to full on open-world RPG, and that makes Historical Egypt one of many richest freeform playgrounds we've ever seen from the genre.
It is a broad-reaching archetype that in some way encompasses all the pieces from the lo-fi openness of Journey and Elite to the acute element of video games like Grand Theft Auto V and Elite Dangerous. But the biggest draw of Fallout 4 is its dedication to offer gamers the flexibility to do no matter they need.
And the tallnecks are just as boring when it comes to gameplay and don't even provde the visible benefit that Zelda does (to be truthful, solely Zelda does this and no different game). Which is, finally, the defining maxim of Nintendo's new principle of open-world sport design: a respect for the participant's time.
Since some games were significantly better than others, we've determined to rank the most effective Xbox 360 Open world games of all time. Open-worlds are meant to be a framework onto which games can anchor their themes, and thru which these themes can be delivered.
That very same 12 months, CBS Electronics' platform-traversal game Mountain King gave gamers free roam on a (comparatively) enormous mountain. We all were used to the status quo set by Assassins Creed and Uncharted and all these different video games. It jogged my memory of the early promise of open world games—an explorable world the place the participant could get misplaced and overlook about their troubles.

• COVID update: As China continues its zero-COVID policy, Yuzhou, a city of 1.2 million, is locked down after three asymptomatic coronavirus cases; while Xi'an, a city of 13 million under lockdown for nearly two weeks, 95 fresh cases were recorded on Tuesday. India reported the highest number of COVID-19 infections since early September, bringing the total number of infections to 34.9 million. Meanwhile, France's lower house of parliament suspended debate over a controversial bill to make it mandatory for people to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination to go to a restaurant or cinema, or take the train.
• Haiti Prime Minister survived assassination attempt: Gunmen unsuccessfully attempted to assassinate Haitian Prime Minister, Ariel Henry, during an event on Saturday commemorating the Caribbean country's independence, Henry's office said in a statement on Monday.
• Embattled tech icon Elizabeth Holmes found guilty: The former CEO and founder of failed blood testing startup Theranos, Elizabeth Holmes, was found guilty on four charges of defrauding investors after a months-long landmark trial in California. She denies the charges, which carry a maximum term of 20 years each.
• Israel lifts restrictions on same-sex surrogacy: Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz announced that Israel has lifted restrictions barring same-sex couples and single men from becoming parents through surrogacy within the country, upholding a Supreme Court ruling to end the ban.
• Hong Kong's Chow Hang-tung jailed over unauthorized Tiananmen vigil: Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Chow Hang-tung was sentenced to 15 months in prison in a second conviction for inciting people to commemorate the 1989 Tiananmen Square deadly crackdown.

"The fear of the minority," titles Luxembourgish dailyLuxemburger Wort, reporting that in the small western European country of about 634,000 inhabitants, 110,000 people have so far have refused to get vaccinated against COVID-19, partly for fear of potential side effects.
$3 trillion
Apple became the world's first publicly traded company ever to hit a market cap of $3 trillion, when the U.S. technology giant's shares were briefly up 3% to a new all-time high of $182.88. Since the release of the iPhone in 2007, Apple's share price has risen by around 5,800%.
Blockchain uncorked, champagne and fine wine hit the NFT market
In just a few months, NFTs, the digital equivalent of collectables, have generated over $10 billion. Now, luxury champagne and wine brands are moving into the world of digital assets. But as investors and vineyards toast to the future, will the concept pop or fizzle? asks Béatrice Brasseur in French daily Les Echos.
🍾 In October, Dom Pérignon demonstrated its perpetual creative effervescence by launching limited edition boxes of its 2010 vintage and its 2006 rosé, which were "designed" in collaboration with the megastar Lady Gaga. The 100 bottles and their digital versions were offered for sale in a 100% virtual space. In search of new fans and eager to "create rarity within rarity," the champagne brand has thus become the very first in its sector to take the plunge into NFTs, the digital answer to collectibles.
💎 Rarity, exclusivity, desirability, traceability: NFTs are obviously of interest to the luxury industry. Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Karl Lagerfeld and Givenchy are already exploring their potential with limited-edition pieces, often created in collaboration with artists. All this can be transposed to the world of great champagnes, wines and spirits, which are covetous and collectable objects. Glenfiddich has put a rare 1973 single malt for sale at $18,000 and other limited edition NFTs on BlockBar, a platform that offers NFTs directly from liquor brands.
💸 "Tomorrow, sales can be delivered from the physical and the temporal," says Guillaume Jourdan, brand strategy consultant at Vitabella Luxury for major wine companies. "This is the ultra-positive side of NFT, beyond the cool message sent to the younger generation." Obviously, the winners of this new virtual economy will be the strongest and most desirable brands that have the means and the talent to afford the necessary technology.

Our author and article quality has never been better. We continue our mission to provide the most relevant clinical information and concepts on restorative medicine.
We begin this issue with an original research article.
Aravind Bagade, MD, and his team present a phenomenal study evaluating attention and verbal memory in yoga practicing pre-adolescents. In this study, students who practiced yoga were assessed against a control group of students who did not involve any yogic practices for differences in scores of Trail making tests, Stroop color task, and digit memory tests. The authors conclude that the students who practiced yoga showed better performance in visual attention, selective attention, verbal memory, and auditory attention compared with the controls.
This issue also contains a number of impressive review articles.
Vitamin K is an essential nutrient that plays an important role in a number of biological systems. Tal Friedman, ND, presents a review article discussing the evidence for vitamin K in bone health and in cardiovascular health. He illustrates how a number of otherwise healthy persons may not be consuming adequate amounts of menaquinones and are at greater risk for bone and cardiovascular-related illnesses. The evidence behind various therapeutic ranges is discussed critically.
Regina Druz, MD, presents a review of the revascularization conundrum in patients with stable ischemic heart disease. As many more patients live on with stable forms of coronary artery disease (CAD), it is imperative that practitioners understand current evidence for and against revascularization, and develop a holistic, integrative approach to CAD. In this review article based on the NIH-funded ISCHEMIA trial (NCT01471522), the author examines current knowledge guiding decision-making in chronic CAD, and expands upon potential use of integrative approaches to chronic CAD.
Iodine has been used to restore thyroid function in those with autoimmune thyroid disease. Robyn Murphy, ND, Caroline Turek, MD, and Leigh Arseneau, ND, present a review on the role of iodine deficiency and subsequent repletion. The authors show that the loss of regulatory mechanisms due to preexisting iodine deficiency followed by iodine repletion, as opposed to iodine excess, is a causal factor in the development of thyroid autoimmunity.
There has been interesting research developing on patients who are infected with chikungunya virus (CHIKV). They exhibit specific characteristics and it is thought that the presence of CHIKV IgM and IgG antibodies plays an important role in a new type of rheumatoid arthritis. Pedro Adrover-López, MD, Michael Gonzalez, NMD, DSc, PhD, FACN, Jorge Miranda-Massari, Pharm D, Jorge Duconge, PhD, and Miguel Berdiel, MD, present an article discussing the inflammatory sequelae after CHIKV infection. They also present a proposed restorative medicine treatment, complete with evidence reviews, dosing strategies, and mechanism of action.
Edward Lichten, MD, presents a review article and medical hypothesis that seeks to establish causation for endometriosis and offers numerous novel treatment recommendations. The author discusses the role of xenoestrogens and how new epigenetic research links exposure to disease.
Michelle Adams, BS, MHSNc, Michael Gonzalez, NMD, DSc, PhD, FACN, Jorge Miranda-Massari, Pharm D, Jorge Duconge PhD, Jose Rodrigeuz-Gomez, MD, DSc, PhD, Miguel Berdiel, MD, and Kenneth Cintron, MD, FAAOS, ABoIM, present an article on the integrative approaches to hypertension. They perform a comprehensive review of 29 different antihypertensive nutrients and botanicals. The efficacy of each treatment option is discussed with regards to the ability to provide a reduction in systolic or diastolic blood pressure.
I would personally like to thank all of the contributors and our readers who continue to make the Journal of Restorative Medicine a great success. I would like to thank all of our peer reviewers for their efforts in improving the quality of our publication. I would like to thank our Executive Associate Editor, Chris Habib, ND, and our Chief Scientific Officer, Sadeq Quraishi, MD, MHA, MMSc, for all their work on this issue. We look forward to continued success and hope that clinicians and scientists will continue to contribute their best research for our readership. We are grateful to support the advancement in knowledge of natural health products and of restorative medicine.

Schlereth, who was a star lineman in Denver in the 90s, said he got the information from a "very reliable source outside of Denver, someone who has never steered me wrong. Told me this thing is heating up and close to a done deal."
Rodgers and the Packers aren't done yet, however. The 37-year-old remains the quarterback in Green Bay as the franchise attempts to smooth things over. Rodgers' frustration seemingly lingers from the decision to draft his heir apparent, Jordan Love, in the 2020 NFL Draft.
The Broncos opted not to select a quarterback in this week's draft, despite an apparent need for one. They are currently headed for an uninspiring competition between Drew Lock and Teddy Bridgewater.
Rodgers has not spoken publicly about the situation, though did pass word to NBC's Mike Tirico while at the Kentucky Derby that he was "disappointed" that the "rift" has gone public.
"He didn't pour cold water on it," Schlereth said. "He just said, 'I'll let you know soon as I know.'"

Social Garden Appoints New CEO
Inaugural CEO departs Social Garden
"After 7 years as CEO of Social Garden, yesterday was my final day in the role.
It's been an amazing journey that started from my living room with Andrew Archibald & George Glover.
When we first started I never dreamed I would be leading a team of 70 people across Social Garden & Urban in four countries but this became a reality toward the end of last year.
One of the things that got us there was focus, and after achieving the growth goals we set for ourselves at the beginning of 2019, we've created the opportunity for me to transition that focus into the CEO role at Urban.
Social Garden has taken me to some amazing places and provided the opportunity to meet some incredible people. Both inside the business and out. I'm super grateful for that.
I'm still going to be actively involved in Social Garden in an advisory/internal coaching capacity.
I'll also continue working alongside my best friend and business partner, George Glover, as he formally takes the CEO role that he has been functionally operating in for the last six months.
Thank you to the wonderful people that have made Social Garden the incredible business it is today, it's been an honour.
I'm excited to see where we take Social Garden & Urban next.
Let's go."
Michael Bird
Social Garden Co-founder / Executive Director
Urban.com.au CEO
Familiar face appointed as new CEO of Social Garden
"After 7 years of working alongside Mike Bird at Social Garden we've decided to make a change.
We're excited to announce Mike is moving across to Urban to take on the role of CEO and I'm moving into the role of CEO at Social Garden.
I'm super excited for the opportunity to lead our talented team of Gardeners as we head into the next phase of the company's growth.
To Mike, thanks for your incredible leadership over the past 7 years. I feel very privileged to walk alongside you each day.
To our senior management team, thank you. This change wouldn't be possible without your leadership.

About Google
I'm Adopted!
This precious young lady was found with a small leg injury in downtown Wilmington in late June 2016. She has spent much time at the vet and is now living a happy life here at the kennel. She is being monitored closely as she moves with a staggered stance and falls over when she plays. The vet has some suspicions that this is a congenital problem, but we are working with a specialist to find out more. She is potty/ crate trained, affectionate, playful and likes other dogs. It would be wonderful if we could find her a loving, patient foster to care for her while she is being assessed by the specialist.

Following on from our 'Take 5' Argentine sommelier focus, The Real Argentina invited five leading sommeliers from around the world to each champion an Argentine grape and its food pairing potential. Andrew Catchpole samples the suggestions.
Tag: Chardonnay
The Chardonnay stock is one of the most planted green grape varieties in the world. It is used to produce white and sparkling wines. In fact, it is one of the components of the renowned French champagne. The stock is native to the Bordeaux region in France. It is also cultivated in Italy and Spain especially. In Argentina, it is used as the main ingredient for the majority of the sparkling wines. It is mainly produced in the province of Mendoza, within the areas of San Rafael, Tupungato, Maipú and in the Rio Negro High Valley. It is very easy to grow and it adapts to terroirs of different climatic and orographical conditions. Those aspects make it the perfect grape for the small wineries that aim to enter the international market. It is also found in Australia, New Zealand or Chile. By means of Argento's blog, The Real Argentina, discover the qualities of this popular variety, as well as the places and restaurants where you will be able to enjoy its flavour and aromas along with the dishes which it is best paired with. Our simple pairing guide recommends combining the Chardonnay with chicken or sweet and sour pork or accompanying a snack at the beginning or at the end of any meal. You will distinguish Chardonnay wines by their characteristic yellow colour with green reflections and nut aromas. The ideal temperature for a Chardonnay wine to be served is between 10 and 12 degrees, although is of 14 degrees if a reserve wine is to be served. On the other hand, Chardonnay wines are very popular among women. In Bodega Argento blog, you will also learn to create your own sparkling wine with the Chardonnay grape variety. Besides, you will know the opinions of the best sommeliers in the world about the wines produced with this grape variety.
'Take 5' Food & Wine Pairings from Top Argentine Sommeliers
The marriage of Malbec and meat may be as famous as Maradona, but ask five leading Argentine sommeliers to champion any grape and its food pairing potential, and the results give lie to the versatility of Argentina's diverse wine styles.
Argento's Twelve Wines of Christmas
This December, we are counting down our Twelve Wines of Christmas with a new wine every weekday from December 6th to 21st. Feel free to sing along! "On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me…"
The Endless Debate: Screw Cap Wine vs. Cork
Where do you stand on the cork versus screw cap debate? Perhaps, like several of the recent dinner guests around my kitchen table, you really don't care, so long as the wines taste good and keep on flowing. Or maybe you are more in tune with the "natural is best" camp. So what are the facts lying behind both points of view?
A Great Wine Grape Returns: Chardonnay From Argentina
Chardonnay, the noble grape that reaches such sublime heights in Burgundy, famously fell from grace through a mix of over-exposure (think Bridgett Jones and Footballers Wives) and overblown wannabes from the New World. But good old Chardonnay is poised to make a welcome return. Except this time it's typically leaner and cleaner, cut from a finer cloth that is more in tune with the subtle sophistication of our palates today.

This is a very terrific, spacious, warm and interesting house. It is a 4-story period house in a very sought-after residential area in smart, posh Kensington. When we visited, the enormous wisteria was blooming and the heavenly fragrance permeated the entire block.
Walk through a little front garden and open the door to a vestibule and then through a glass door into the front hall. The drawing room is on the right of the hall. It is furnished with two comfortable sofas covered in white cotton, two easy chairs covered in yellow fabric, a decorative fireplace, a large bay window that looks onto the front garden. This is all excellent, but what really caught our interest were the many framed antique prints that cover all of the walls. We wanted to stay for hours examining those beautiful prints.
The back part of the drawing room has a baby grand piano, another decorative fireplace, a chest of drawers and several chairs. And more of those interesting prints. A French door opens to a small, private patio.
Return to the front hall and go down to a half-landing where there is a small book-lined study with a large, modern desk. A window looks to the back garden. More framed prints hang on the walls.
Go on down the stairs to the kitchen and dining room – where these rooms always were in the old houses. What a surprise! The enormous dining room, at the front of the house, is furnished in rich contemporary style. The long table seats 8 on red velvet chairs. A book-filled bookcase is on either site of a gas heating stove. A beautiful rug covers a tile floor. This extraordinary room is beautiful, colorful and bright. Prints and original art cover the walls. Large bay windows and a French door open to a plant-filled staircase that goes up to the front garden.
The bright kitchen is at the back of the dining room. It, too, is very large and very modern, state of the art. It has a large refrigerator, a smaller drinks refrigerator and a wine cooler. There are two ovens, a stove top, dishwasher, enormous amounts of storage, granite counter tops and open shelving that displays pretty dishes. A glass door opens onto the back paved patio that has a table and chairs and beautiful flower borders.
A second study is on the half-landing between the main floor and the second floor. It is furnished with handsome antiques, a bookcase and an antique desk and chair that face the back garden.
Walk a few steps up to the very large master bedroom. It has a king bed, a chest of drawers, excellent closet space, a decorative marble fireplace and beautiful art on the walls. Two large windows look over the street. The large en suite bathroom has two sinks, a long, deep tub with a hand-held shower and a separate shower stall. The next half-landing has the laundry with a washer and dryer.
The next two bedrooms are very nice. Each bedroom has two single iron twin beds which were pushed together and each has very good closet space. One of the bedrooms has two beautiful painted armoires.
The fourth bedroom is very sweet. It has a large single bed with a rattan headboard, a rattan chest of drawers, a clothes cupboard. A large window faces the back garden.
The big hallway bathroom has a blue claw foot tub with a hand-held shower and a shower over the tub.
A roof terrace, up another level, has a table and chairs and wonderful views over London. It's like something from a movie.
This superb house is on a beautiful street that is conveniently located for the many shops, restaurants and attractions of Kensington High Street and Holland Park.
The price includes gas and electricity, use of all machines in the property, TV, DVD player, fresh linen weekly, cleaning on your departure and a Greeter who will meet you at the property on arrival and see you out on departure. A security deposit of £300 to £1000 is held by credit card until after departure.

According to a World Health Report, migraines are the nineteenth most common patient complaint worldwide with an 18% of women and 6% of men in the United States experiencing at least one migraine headache episode each year.
There is evidence that patients with migraines have an energy deficit disorder associated with their glucose intake. As such, adopting a strict ketogenic diet (in which ketones are the primary source of energy for the body in place of glucose) does appear to benefit patients with migraines.
A 2017 study set out to determine if it was the absence of glucose or the increase in ketone bodies that made the difference for patients. In the study, researchers provided four female migraine patients with a specially designed ten-gram beverage containing a specific type of ketone called B-hydroxybutyrate or bHB twice a day for four weeks.
After one month, their migraine frequency rate dropped 50% to eight days/month on average without any serious side effects. The patients also lost weight, presumably due to consuming less glucose in their diet. An additional benefit of higher levels of ketones in the body is that they have an anti-inflammatory effect.
A larger double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial is now underway with a group of 90 patients that will last three months. The goal of the study is to determine if this nutritional supplement is capable of reducing migraine headaches without the significant side effects and associated disabilities that are currently associated with many migraine medications.
Chiropractic care often includes nutritional counseling as an important part of caring for the whole person. In fact, there is research supported evidence that spinal manipulation alone has a very positive benefit for migraine headache patients as noted in the 2010 and 2014 UK studies regarding the effectiveness of manual therapies. Based on the outcome of this large-scale study, the use of ketone-based supplementation for migraines may become a new standard.
Thousands of Chiropractic Offices across the United States have taken "The ChiroTrust Pledge": "To the best of my ability, I agree to provide my patients convenient, affordable, and mainstream Chiropractic care. I will not use unnecessary long-term treatment plans and/or therapies."
To locate a Chiropractor, google "The ChiroTrust Pledge" and the name of your city in quotes.

Harriet Tubman
Harriet Tubman (born Araminta Ross; c. 1822 – March 10, 1913) was an African-American abolitionist, humanitarian, and Union spy during the American Civil War. Born into slavery, Tubman escaped and subsequently made about thirteen missions to rescue approximately seventy enslaved family and friends, using the network of antislavery activists and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad. She later helped John Brown recruit men for his raid on Harpers Ferry, and in the post-war era struggled for women's suffrage.

Khapsey are Tibetan bisquits , very popular in Nepal,
Widely prepared for Lhosar – Tibetan New year. In addition, Tibetans often prepare them for various occasions, such as weddings, family holidays or other religious festivals, many of which are found in both Tibetan culture and the neighboring Newari.
There are many different types – read: shapes – khapsey cookies. Two of them are especially popular: khapsey, commonly called an donkey's-ear, is cut along with one cut only and turn to the other side. On the movie I maid is showed only one time of khapsey – the lesser known one.
Some khapsey producers do not use milk and eggs for the dough, which others do. Salt – alternatively – who likes how.
|wheat flour
|4 cups
|sesame sunflower oil
|1/2 cup
|1/2 cup
|1 cup
|baking powder
|1 teaspoon
|as desired
- Sugar melt in cup of warm water.
- 1 cup of flour mix well with baking powder, then add the rest of flour.
- Mix together – flour, oil, water with sugar and milk.
- Knead to a smooth dough – about 10 minutes.
- Roll out the dough to not more than 1 cm thick.
The next steps are shown in the movie.
- A long peace, 10 cm wide, 0.5 to 1 cm thick, folds in half.
- Then with a coordinated cut are made four notches at the bend and a fifth cut which separates a peace from the rest.
- The "tassels" are then separated from each other, the busquit is turned over and sticked together.
Khapsey is fried in deep, well-warmed oil to golden color.
After cooling down, you can store khapsey even for a few weeks in an airtight container, although of course with time will be slightly harder.
