Competitively priced mini-drones such as Parrot's Swing and Mambo devices offer budget-conscious buyers an easy way to dip their toes into the world of quadcopters before deciding whether to move on to a pricier, more sophisticated machine such as one of DJI's Mavic drones.
But the French company confirmed to Digital Trends this week that it's retiring its mini-drones to focus instead on developing its more advanced Anafi quadcopter for the commercial and consumer markets.
Tech site Wirecutter learned in recent days that Parrot is ending sales of its mini-drones, with The Verge receiving additional confirmation from the company that it has "stopped the production and development of any drone but the Anafi and its variations."
Competing with drone giant DJI is tough going for competitors such as Parrot, with the Chinese company enjoying a 74% share of the market, according to the 2018 Drone Market Sector Report by Skylogic Research. The figure sounds even more impressive when you consider that the second-placed company, Yuneec, only has 8% of the market, with Parrot further down the list with a mere 1%.
Parrot has been developing its commercial drone business for a while now, with the advanced Anafi machine garnering it some positive attention since its launch in 2018.
For example, the Anafi almost certainly helped it to win a contract with the U.S. Department of Defense in May 2019 that will see Parrot, along with five other companies, develop small, short-range reconnaissance aircraft for use by soldiers on the battlefield. An $11 million fund will be shared among the selected companies to help them prototype their own individual drone designs aimed at giving soldiers greater situational awareness on the battlefield.
It seems that Parrot will base the design of its Department of Defense machine on that of the Anafi. The quadcopter offers 4K video and 21-megapixel stills, can fly for 25 minutes on a single charge, and has a range of more than 2 miles. It weighs only 0.71 pounds and can fold away into a small case for easy transportation. The company recently released a version sporting a thermal-imaging camera, a feature that would certainly come in useful on the battlefield.
Parrot's low-price mini-drones may be about to disappear from view, but there are still plenty of alternatives if you're looking to buy your very first device and want to start with a basic model — check out Digital Trends' guide showing the best machines costing less than $500, as well as those for less than $100.
Updated on July 22, 2019: The original article stated that Parrot was exiting the consumer drone market. The company has confirmed that this is not the case. Instead it is retiring its mini-drones to focus on the development of the Anafi platform for both the commercial and consumer markets.

President Barack Obama celebrated a bipartisan "season of progress' on Thursday at a year-end news conference a few hours after the Senate ratified an arms control treaty with Russia.
In addition to cutting nuclear weapons and launchers, Obama said the pact will allow U.S. inspectors to "be back on the ground" in Russia.
"We are not doomed to endless gridlock," Obama told reporters at a news conference at the White House.
"So we'll be able to trust but verify, he said, quoting the late President Ronald Reagan in another in a string of bipartisan gestures of recent weeks.
The president said that after midterm elections on Nov. 2, many "predicted Washington would be headed for more partisanship and more gridlock. Instead, this has been a season of progress for the American people."
He added that the accomplishments of a postelection session of Congress demonstrate "we are not doomed to endless gridlock."
Obama spoke at a news conference a few hours after the Senate ratified the treaty he negotiated with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to reduce both nation's nuclear arsenals, the final major action of a productive postelection Congress.
In the six weeks since midterm elections he bluntly called a shellacking for his party, Obama has signed bipartisan legislation to prevent a spike in income taxes, cut Social Security taxes for one year and extend long-term jobless benefits through the end of 2011.
Earlier in the day, he placed his signature on another bill that will allow gay members of the armed forces to serve openly, and will soon sign a measure strengthening the safety of the nation's food supply. He also wrapped up a trade deal with South Korea.
The Senate's ratification of the arms control treaty was Obama's top foreign policy priority of the postelection session of Congress, and a victory the administration ground out over the past few weeks by securing the votes of Republicans. The top two GOP senators voted against the pact, although it was not clear how hard they worked to prevent its ratification.
Obama was flying to Hawaii later in the day, joining his wife and the couple's two children for a year-end holiday.
When he returns, it will be a few days before a new Congress convenes, with a House controlled by Republicans and a Senate with a shrunken Democratic majority.

A Sunshine Coast Expert
One of the most desirable retirement and vacation destinations in the world, the Sunshine Coast has a lot to offer. The region is still a surprisingly well kept secret, partly because it is cut off from the Greater Vancouver mainland by the rugged, tree-covered Coast Mountains, and is only accessible by boat or seaplane.
This picturesque coastline is also overflowing with culture and adventure for all sorts, from art festivals, scenic waterfront trails, all the outdoor sports and natural wonder you can imagine, to car clubs, historic towns, first-nation heritage and fine dining – people from all over the world and even other parts of Canada are frequently amazed and delighted by everything the Sunshine Coast has to offer. The BBC published a great article in their travel section that you can read here, and Canada.com published another one here that you might find interesting.
For anyone who wants to live close to Vancouver, but not right in the city, the Sunshine Coast can be the perfect place. It's only a 35-40 minute ferry-ride to downtown Vancouver!
"Bob was referred to me by a friend who moved to the Sunshine Coast a few years ago. As I was an out of town client, Bob took the time to personally provide me a broad view of the entire Sunshine Coast market. It was clear he knew a great deal about the details of each area. The time he took and information he provided allowed me to narrow down my choices with confidence. And when it came time to make an offer Bob used his experience and skills to ensure I successfully purchased the property I wanted. I found the exact property I needed, and I would recommend Bob without hesitation. You will be glad to have him in your corner." – Tim H
"If you're new to the Sunshine Coast, you'll be hard pressed to find a realtor who knew more about this diverse area than Bob. As a long time resident of the Sunshine Coast, Bob embodies the kind of personal service you'd hope for in a smaller close-knit community that you just couldn't get in the city. His knowledge and assistance were invaluable in our search to find a home and relocate to the beautiful Sunshine Coast." – The Davidsons

I love people... so it's easy to spend time with them and figure out what they want. Having a few laughs makes for better days, but I've found people appreciate plain 'ol honesty and professionalism the most." - Bob Michor

Benefits and drawbacks of short-course preoperative radiotherapy in rectal cancer patients aged 75 years and older
European Journal of Surgical Oncology , Volume 39 - Issue 10 p. 1087- 1093
Purpose To study incidence of local recurrences, postoperative complications and survival, in patients with rectal carcinoma aged 75 years and older, treated with either surgery and pre-operative 5 × 5 Gy radiotherapy or surgery alone. Patients and methods A random sample of patients aged over 75 years with pT2-T3, N0-2, M0 rectal carcinoma diagnosed between 2002 and 2004 in the Netherlands was included, treated with surgery alone (N = 296) or surgery in combination with pre-operative radiotherapy (N = 346). Information on local recurrent disease, postoperative complications, ECOG-performance score and comorbidity was gathered from the medical files. Results Local recurrences developed less frequently in patients treated with pre-operative radiotherapy compared to surgery alone (2% vs 6%, p = 0.002). Postoperative complications developed more frequently in irradiated patients (58% vs 42%, p < 0.0001). Especially deep infections (anastomotic leakage, pelvic abscess) were significantly increased in this group (16% vs 10%, p = 0.02). 30-day mortality was equal in both groups (8%). A significant increase in postoperative complication rate and 30-day mortality was only seen in those with "severe comorbidity" compared to patients without comorbidity (respectively 58% and 10% vs 43% and 3%), COPD (59% and 12%), diabetes (60% and 11%) and cerebrovascular disease (62% and 14%). In multivariable analysis, postoperative complications predicted 5-year survival. Conclusion Elderly patients receiving pre-operative radiotherapy show a lower local recurrence rate. However, as incidence rates of local recurrent disease are low and incidence of postoperative complications is increased in irradiated patients, omitting preoperative RT may be suitable in elderly patients with additional risks for complications or early death.

Gasoline cars produce more carbonaceous particulate matter than modern filter-equipped diesel cars
Published on July 13 in Scientific Reports: http://nature.com/articles/doi:10.1038/s41598-017-03714-9
- Research led by the Laboratory of Atmospheric Chemistry at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), Switzerland as a result of a collaboration agreement between the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment and the European Comission - Joint Research Centre in Ispra, Italy (JRC) with the participation of the Aix Marseille University, France; NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory, Boulder, US; CIRES, University of Colorado, Boulder, US; University of Montreal, Canada; Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, US.
- The research started with an experimental campaign hosted by the JRC Vehicle Emissions Laboratories for the study of the emissions and their aging in the PSI smogchambers of Euro 5 gasoline and Euro 5 diesel vehicles on dynamometers. A model was developed to estimate SOA formation and the results were put into perspective to ambient data and vehicle fleet.
- The following results should be viewed as a contrast to nitrogen oxides (NOx): Diesel cars emit much more than gasoline cars (even more in real-world than found during the homologation tests according to recent scandals).
- Modern gasoline cars emit much more carcinogenic primary soot (BC: black carbon + POA: primary organic aerosol) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) that also form far more toxic secondary organic aerosol (SOA) than modern diesel cars.
- Especially at low temperatures (winter / high latitudes) the emissions of gasoline cars are extraordinarily high. VOC emissions of gasoline cars are higher than the diesel car emissions only for the first minutes after the vehicle is started.
- Our measurements and model indicate that downwind of Los Angeles gasoline cars emissions lead to more secondary organic aerosol than diesel cars.
- Primary aerosol emissions will continue for years to be dominated by diesel vehicles in the presence of old diesels on the road, especially in Europe where diesel passenger cars are common.
- New gasoline cars are better than diesel cars concerning NOx emissions, but concerning the toxic and carcinogenic carbonaceous emissions modern diesel cars are favorable.
- Possible measures to reduce gasoline car emissions suggested by the Laboratory of Atmospheric Chemistry at PSI:
- Implementation of particle filters to get rid of soot
- Reduction of VOC emissions during cold start
e.g. reduction of the time until the catalyst reaches the necessary temperature e.g. by pre-heating the catalyst

Tourism in Zambia
Zambia the "real Africa" is the real home for the mighty Victoria Falls, one of the 7 wonders of the world and the largest water fall in the world.
Zambia stands out as one of the prime tourism destinations in Africa offering a wealth of natural tourism assets – waterfalls, lakes and rivers holding about 35% of Southern Africa's total natural water resource, 'wildlife protected areas' occupying about 10% of the country's total land area, and a tropical climate – a passport to sunshine almost throughout the year.
It has better attractions which include; Kariba Dam one of the largest man-made lakes in the world and the Kalambo Falls one of the deepest falls in the world.
Zambia boasts of 19 National Parks with one of the largest in the world Kafue National Park; and it has one of the largest concentrations of game in Africa. Zambia has a rich cultural heritage and therefore has a number of cultural sites that could be visited.
It holds a number of traditional ceremonies including the Kuomboka in the Western Province; Ncwala in the EasternProvince; Likumbi Lyamize in the North Western Province; Shimunenga in the Southern Province) and Mutomboko (in Luapula Province and these all attract tourist in the country

We knewing Englo called "standard" - it meant we has to obey the King. Tat's whup for the ancien langage. Which we speakerly some but not all.
Tings wàre simple bak ten. There were not our new tensons: had I saided someting as simple as "I will wented," I'd be called stoopid. Back in the veiled days, last centure or so, they did not have these new modalations, so their ecripting, or writing, was less flexististic and more primitif.
I an aware well dit thiss declaration of the purposive of paper might not possess the relevance that is required for the achievementitudal aspect of this ecription, ober an avov the dissication of the mark. The relevant relevance will be made plein tère-below.
This paper is a bref discutation on how an omen led to my profitesse.
In order to sucessor yourself in the action market, you have to buy your actions at the right temps and to sell them at the tempes correspondante. In veiled Englo, this was dicayted "buy low, sell high." There were plentantesque - diverse - means of bringing this about.
The kinds are two: firstèment, "fundament analyser"; sécundement, "analysation de technicien." There are also schools that combine both through batterdising the up-avov togethere. One of them is an elevation of the Science: Astrology.
My adviseur investissements explaned it to me as was. Jus as in book How Prophecy Fails, meiny predactions are in fact predacativitudes. Just there for random. The inner strenth of such predicatudes is the practiqual benfices here on this earth, as oppose to all other monds of exixtance. For exixtance doesn't arret you, it shaus you. Jus like I will showed you what I had expérienced.
To omen, on must study the exixtente in all its complicitations. Every causative is relevantisque. Al of them - all. This is how the technicien ofs actions, or shares, beginning to proceed. Temps n'a pas thair; c'est un irrelevantitude. This is essential.
In order to savé the CEO and hir monde de thought, on must take the trial. It is a devoir that is impossible to brake or to put in your oblier. Just as essentiallement to one's profitation as the ordeal is to on's hommer life. We dont whiners want, nor any lazines. So you exuent monde and confiner your you-self égoistically in the cervo sense. No pumpness, nor pumpnessitude.
I begin by enterait into the temps subjonctif. It is the timelessitude that gives the Insite that is self-crucielle. On must devait souffer one's consciusness like the CEO hirself. Only then will Wisdom be empatré into one's servo mechanisme. Otherwising to know as on's unconscience.
Once the temps subjectivté is presence, then te proces-standariste has to much be applied. Loking at the action charts and any inicators which tell you of hir movs.
But ce est maintenantce. It is just the premier baselining, and gives yu non of the flow of the action, nor of the compagne that was lays down-underneth. Nextément, commes te analysation of the fundaments.
These I can spreadshoot well sufficed. As le mond subjonctif is deepered, then the rotisation which commences the sècondement tasc, it it morphs into the avencement into Wisdom. No path knows.
One the spreadshod, then the historisation. Such is the examination of unconscience that is necessairyment pour le frap the silver. I gotted much argent, mané dollars.
Historiation was overed. Then the acton des actions is step third. (Sorry, this it is done do avoider tropistic homonisation.) I will vued the prices. (If you recommence, this complexitysation is necessair por vour imaginatif entry into what I did do.) ["Not necessary - I understand." Teacher's comment.]
I willed into 1975, wen Bill Gates hait composée le firstier programme de BASIC. I saw the spell he use; such ait is the omen I seek. This is how all business decisives are done; both you, me-maintaining and le me that had be bak then, tout le three know. I had see it done by my patronpère plus temes. They dont raticioner, they luck it over. And concentrationait.
Such gif me the Omen. It was pass de times watching before I sit and absourd the acton of dhe prixes. Such is my exixtence total.
A move, and I lep! To the phon is a step. The action are scooped. I ashed what I kept. Ten mills I had squaffed, my many kept offs, for now is the chawer of actions. I gots buyen 1000 shares. A cool mill. $9.64 per acn. + $15 commission. Disk house; my avisementeur investisse isait down in bank. Payèd par Salary. We carre - he an me.
So no bad hoodû. Things will look alright.
In fact they did. I giotten out at $15.23 p.a. minous another 15 bill. Total score: $5560 profit. Profitasion "bonney"!
I can't makait mon living right maintenant with Omen. They come too lent, and AI tol me never, ne pas, noway to forcer. Tat's how one loses longue-terme. So my education comes first too - so firstement. I cood be richessed and stil staye.
One must always learner to think. We-ones have only one cervo, and one vite.
[Grade: B+. Accurate and descriptive, but no flair in use of nouvel grammar. Seems too rote-learned and rote-applied for deservation of an A. Even if one might be callé for por effort.]

TetR monoclonal antibody
TetR Monoclonal Antibody (Clone 9G9) is a monoclonal antibody raised against the full-length wild-type bacterial Tet repressor protein (TetR), which is an essential component of the Tet-On and Tet-Off transactivator proteins. The TetR antibody can be used for Western blotting and greatly simplifies the process of developing a Tet-inducible expression system by providing a method for early detection of the transactivator proteins.
- Simplify the process of creating Tet-inducible cell lines by prescreening for expression of the transactivators.
- Sensitive detection of Tet-On 3G, Tet-On Advanced, Tet-Off Advanced, Tet-Off, or TetR proteins on Western blots.
- This TetR antibody is not recommended for use with the first-generation Tet-On or Tet-tTS proteins.
- Note that antibody-based detection of these tetracycline transactivators in cell lines is not a substitute for a functional test. Some highly inducible clones may express tetracycline transactivators at levels that are undetectable on a Western blot with any antibody.

Generally, hypnotherapy programs range in training hours, but usually include practical training in clinical hypnosis, regression therapy, counseling, inner child retrieval, and coaching techniques. Learning the fundamentals of therapeutic hypnosis, students enrolled in more comprehensive hypnotherapy programs gain knowledge about brain wave activity, altered states, and anatomy of the mind, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), self-hypnosis, guided imagery, visualization techniques, emotional clearing methods, and much more.
In most cases, graduates of hypnotherapy programs may earn a diploma and become certified in hypnosis; and upon successfully completing a minimum of 300 training hours, and passing the exam administered by the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners (ACHE), candidates earn the title of certified Hypnotherapist.
Furthermore, there is a number of advanced hypnotherapy programs designed for the professional hypnotherapist in mind. These courses often cover in-depth NLP techniques, as well as supplementary studies in past-life regression, and clinical hypnotherapy, among other subject matter.
Those who have become certified through one of a number of approved hypnotherapy programs can go onto providing individual consultations/private sessions, weight loss and quitting-smoking seminars, or simply help individuals by providing self-hypnosis techniques to improve overall wellbeing – mind, body and spirit. If you're ready to make a difference in your own life, and in the lives of others, perhaps a course in hypnosis is something you might be interested in pursuing.
If you (or someone you know) are interested in finding hypnotherapy programs, let professional training within fast-growing industries like natural healing, cosmetology, acupuncture, oriental medicine, Reiki, and others get you started! Explore hypnotherapy programs near you.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid could be deposed for ICE whistleblower Taylor Johnson's new lawsuit because complaints from his office precipitated her ouster.
Johnson's attorney, Morris Fischer, told the Washington Gadfly that, "We will attempt to depose whoever is involved in this corruption up to and including Harry Reid. His fingerprints are all over the place."
The veteran law enforcement agent, who DHS fired in February after she rejected $100,000 in hush money, filed a Merit System Protection Board claim against the agency earlier this month.
Johnson, a single mother of four, had a storied career until she ran afoul of Reid by expressing national security concerns about the EB-5 visa program for foreigners who invest at least $500,000 in American companies. One of the green cards she refused to approve was for a Chinese investor in the Las Vegas casino represented by Reid's lawyer son, Rory.
After Reid's office called her Special Agent-in-Charge Johnson was stripped of her gun and badge without explanation in 2013. Her frantic boss demanded to know why he was suddenly being threatened with congressional action.
Johnson's complaints and objections from other whistleblowers were subsequently vindicated.
The Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General concluded in a March 2015 report that then-U.S. Customs and Immigration Services (USCIS) director Alejandro Mayorkas improperly intervened on behalf of Reid for the Las Vegas SLS Hotel and Casino then represented by his son. Mayorkas, now DHS Deputy Secretary, also lobbied for companies tied to Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, Rodham, and former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell.
In June 2015, Johnson testified in a nationally televised hearing about her troubles with the agency and concerns about the program. Although DHS spokesman officially told the media they could not comment about her particular case, it turned out the ICE spokeswoman Gillian Christensen was running a secret smear campaign against her with the full knowledge of Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs. The attempt to discredit Johnson is now under investigation by the Senate Homeland Security Committee and the DHS Office of Inspector General, which both have interviewed this reporter about his encounter with Christensen.
Johnson's actual MSPB complaint is confidential. But Fischer explained the legal issues at play based on information already in the public realm.
ICE gave shifting and obvious bogus rationales for why they needed to cut her loose, he explained. First, they claimed she made hundreds of improper calls to a confidential informant.
Except it turned out the calls were actually to Johnson's mother. Then, they said she forged a document that said ICE dogs in 2011 had not detected drugs in a car crossing the Mexican border that it was later determined contained them.
They made her take a handwriting test. But it concluded she did not fill out the form.
Johnson, who set up a gofundme.com page for legal costs, was finally dismissed for lack of candor. The actual contents of her Merit System Protection Board lawsuit are confidential.
DHS needs to prove she was not fired for testifying before Congress and would have been dismissed regardless of her objections to the visa program.
Good luck with that.
ICE never objected to Taylor's conduct regarding the 2011 border operation until after Reid's office complained about her.
"There shouldn't be surprises regarding Taylor's retaliation," said Fischer, who has garnered lucrative settlements and jury verdicts for other clients harmed by DHS. "This case will not be won through a lot of dazzling and unexpected litigation maneuvering."
"This is blatant retaliation and we don't know what the full extent of the Senate Committee's investigation and our litigation will produce. There may be one gazillion surprises with respect to how corrupt the whole thing was."

New local jobs! Better health! Just Transition! Here's how.
There is a clear path forward for creating thousands of new Kentucky jobs in the energy industry while cutting pollution, lowering electric bills and investing billions of dollars in workers and communities affected by the decline in fossil fuels.
The plan for doing that was released Wednesday by KFTC members during a press conference and with the launch of a new website (www.empowerkentucky.org).
"This is our attempt as citizens to press the conversation forward and to bring to light the truth about what can be had and what can be done, and to really push the envelope around how we have the conversations about energy in the state," said Nancy Reinhart, a member of the planning team from Shelbyville. "So this is exciting. This is what so few people have the time and resources to do but together at KFTC we've done it."
The Empower Kentucky Plan modeled a number of different scenarios and created a plan that will:
- Create 46,300 more job-years for Kentuckians than "business as usual"
- Improve health by avoiding 93 thousand tons of sulfur dioxide and 132 thousand tons of nitrogen oxides pollution over 15 years
- Lower residential electric bills by 10%, compared to business as usual
- Invest $387 million in a Just Transition for Kentucky's coal workers and communities
- Cut carbon dioxide pollution by 40% from Kentucky's power sector from 2012 to 2032, exceeding the Clean Power Plan's requirement
- Invest $11 billion in energy efficiency across our economy, and prioritize energy savings that benefit low-income households
- Result in a cleaner, more efficient and more diverse energy system
- Build 1,000 MW more solar, 600 MW more wind and 800 MW less natural gas capacity in Kentucky, and rely less on coal generation, than business as usual.
KFTC members call this the "Blueprint for a Just Transition to a clean energy economy in our state."
"This plan is the result of almost two years of conversations with more than 1,200 people in every corner of Kentucky, along with deep participatory research and analysis," said KFTC Chairperson Elizabeth Sanders of Whitesburg. "The Empower Kentucky Plan makes it clear that a Just Transition to a clean energy economy is possible in Kentucky.
"This plan accelerates energy efficiency and renewable energy across our economy, and puts a low price on harmful pollution. It delivers more jobs, less health-harming pollution and lower home energy bills than the business-as-usual case, while slashing greenhouse gas pollution and investing in a Just Transition.
"In short, this plan offers a blueprint, a positive vision and agenda Kentuckians can get behind as we work to build a bright future that we know is possible."

This plan comes out of KFTC's decades of work to protect people, land, air, water and health. The creation of a detailed plan – one that is driven by a vision for Kentucky and shared values – was spurred by the void of leadership, evident for years but most blatant when two years ago state officials across the political spectrum said they would ignore the Clean Power Plan goals put forth by the Obama administration.
"The idea of Empower Kentucky is first to bring people together and try to raise everyone's voice, to bring everyone around the table," explained planning team member Laura Greenfield of Paris, who also headed up a work team to develop An Environmental Justice Analysis for Kentucky that is part of the plan.
"We did a lot of listening. We also did a lot of research. The Empower Kentucky Plan reflects the best ideas we heard and gathered for shaping a Just Transition to a clean energy economy," added Josh Bills, a commercial energy efficienct expert and KFTC member from Berea. "The plan is long and detailed and full of recommendations and action steps that could be taken today by mayors and city councils, on campuses and in congregations, in the state legislature, the Public Service Commission and by utilities themselves."
Cassia Herron of Louisville described at the press conference how KFTC went about gathering community input, including six A Seat at the Table events held a year ago.
"The Empower Kentucky project brought together diverse groups of people all across our state to co-create a vision and design this plan. At each event we invited guests to share a story about their relationship to Kentucky's energy system. People spoke about asthma and black lung. Some spoke about efforts to become more energy efficient or use renewable energy. People described family members who worked in the mines or at power plants. Some talked about pollution and health problems affecting their families.
"So what did we learn from all this input?" Herron asked.
- "As Kentuckians, we are not happy with our energy choices and want better options.
- An overwhelming majority – 81% – of us want renewable energy and especially solar energy to play a key part in our energy future.
- We want energy to be affordable, and we recognize the key role that energy efficiency can play in keeping consumption and bills low.
- We want a just transition for miners, affected workers, and their communities.
- We want our sources of our electric power to be more diverse and to come from local and community owned distributed renewable energy.
- We also called for changes that extend far beyond our power sector, including a more sustainable food system and expanded mass transit."
The Empower Kentucky Plan takes on those challenges head on, and considers those community values to be just as important considerations as technological ones in developing new energy systems.
Chris Woolery of Lexington provided an example.
"In Kentucky and across the Southeast, folks pay more as a percentage of income on energy than anywhere else in the country – if you imagine a person who pays a higher energy bill than their mortgage," Woolery said. "If you take that energy bill back down to the size of my energy bill, that person might not have to work a second job. That person might be able to get involved in the PTA or run for city council.
"We supplied the world with coal at one time. Why can't we supply the world with renewable energy?"
Carl Shoupe, Benham
"Yes, there is economic development, along with environmental and health benefits. But the way I look at it, energy efficiency is literally power to the people."
After the press conference, members delivered a copy of the Empower Kentucky Plan to the office of Gov. Matt Bevin.
"We requested a meeting and weren't granted one but we are going to deliver it anyway and hope that he starts a conversation – a real one – in this state about the power that renewable energies have in the state to create jobs, healthier environment and more just communities," said Reinhart.
KFTC members acknowledge the current state and national political landscape that is hostile to putting people and the planet above profit.
"With the political landscape as bleak and dangerous as it is right now, we are realistic about the prospects of this plan," said Woolery. "We believe it provides a framework for powerful organizing that is already underway in communities around our state. It allows us to do more than just resist bad ideas. It provides a blueprint and agenda we can organize for and win.
"We are going to be doing these things whether our leaders get behind us or not."

The Coldest Journey - First Winter Crossing of the Antarctic
The Coldest Journey - First Winter Crossing of the Antarctic
Aim of Sutton Grammar School's Coldest Journey Project
The aim of the project is to allow students to engage with the progress of the main expedition and to be inspired by the landscape, environment and research in Antarctica. We are aiming to conduct research of our own in parallel with the official expedition. We hope to receive information from the project that will enable our students to analyse groundbreaking scientific data at the forefront of cutting-edge science. We will be undertaking projects under the expedition's four research objectives. These wide-ranging headings allow for cross-curricular links between the expedition and many departments within the school and the students will have the opportunity to engage in activities from art projects to nutrition challenges and from digital mapping to chemical analysis. We will be documenting our work in a regular journal for pupils and parents. The expedition departs on December 6th 2013 and our project will begin shortly too. Keep a look out for information around school.
Mr Pletts, SGS Project Leader
Project 1: Mapping the true surface-shape of the Antarctic Ice Sheet
Objectives: to map with centimetre precision the surface shape of the Antarctic Ice Sheet, along the 4,000 km expedition track, using GPS receivers and range sensors fitted to the Science Caboose. This high-resolution dataset will be valuable to key international environmental science efforts to monitor climate change-driven changes in the Antarctic Ice Sheet. These include the satellite remote sensing community e.g. Cryostat 2, IceSat (Ice-Bridge), who require a 'ground-truth' to ensure their equipment remains correctly calibrated, and the Ice Modeling community, who require profile data to allow them to develop better models required for predicting the future effects of climate change on Ice sheets (e.g. validation of ice mass balance models).
Cross-curricular links: Geography, Art, DT
Projects may include:
- using GIS (Google Earth) to create an accurate map of the underlying Antarctic land mass
- representing the Antarctic landscape artistically
- building scale models of the thickness and shape of the mass
Objectives: to determine the potential diversity of extreme psychrophilic ('cold-loving') bacteria in Antarctic snow, and to establish a map of the distribution of bacteria across the Antarctic. The research forms the basis of creating a collection of Antarctic bacteria for conservation and biotechnological research purposes.
Cross-curricular links: Biology, Chemistry
Projects may include:
- investigating bacteria growth at different temperatures
Objectives: Two projects have the objective of highly sensitive isotopic analyses of water from samples of surface snow. Scientists can use changes in the ratio of oxygen and hydrogen isotopes as an indirect measure of large-scale patterns of Antarctic moisture transport (water movement from one geographic location via the atmosphere to another geographic location) and temporal changes in Antarctic surface temperature (e.g. comparing different years in the same location). These data provide valuable information about Antarctic atmospheric dynamics of water vapour origin over the oceans and how it is ultimately deposited as snow on the surface of the ice sheet. Monitoring changes in water transport are important contributions to models projecting climate change.
Cross-curricular links: Geography, Chemistry, Physics
Projects may include:
- analysing isotopes of different elements
- mapping movement of water around Antarctica
- understanding and recreating the atmospheric processes involved in moisture transfer
"White Mars" - Human Exploration Analogue Research
Objectives: Similarities exist between the conditions humans encounter on a winter Antarctic expedition and those found in space. The objectives of this project, which is made up of around 20 different components, are to examine the physiological and psychological effects of both acute, intermittent exposure to extreme cold and chronic exposure to loss of the day/night cycle, low oxygen levels of the Polar plateau and stresses of living and working in a small group in a hostile, threatening setting. The proposed studies include assessment of nutrition and hydration status, measurements of respiratory function and circadian hormonal changes, and monitoring of sleep patterns and the changes in mood and motivation.
Cross-curricular links: PE, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Drama, PSHE, Citizenship
Projects may include:
- testing effects of cold on human physiological capability
- looking into the impacts of cold on human behaviour and social interaction
- testing the effectiveness of different materials in insulating the human body and protecting from cold temperatures

One hundred and twelve years ago, on April 14, 1906, a home prayer group moved its prayer meeting from 214 Bonnie Bae Street to an old dilapidated building at 312 Azusa Street in downtown Los Angles. From there, the prayer meeting became the famous Azusa Street Revival, and from this humble location, the message of Pentecost was spread around the world.
The move was made necessary when the crowds began to overflow onto the porch and into the yard of the Asberry home after a powerful outpouring of the Holy Spirit, with many speaking in tongues and gifts of the Holy Spirit being manifest. This prompted the group to search for, and obtain, a larger facility for their prayer meeting.
The old 40-by-60-foot two-story structure they found at 312 Azusa Street had formerly been a Methodist Episcopal Church, but more recently had been used as a stable and warehouse. They removed the debris and installed rough plank benches and a makeshift pulpit made from wooden shoeboxes. On April 14, 1906, they held their first meeting in the new facilities and revival fires blazed even more brightly.
Prayer Released Power
Although the prayer meeting was soon organized into a church that they called "The Apostolic Faith Mission," prayer continued to be the foremost activity. One participant wrote, "The whole place was steeped in prayer."
William Seymour, the recognized leader, spent much of his time behind the pulpit with his head inside the top shoebox, praying. An unpretentious man, Seymour's intense prayer life was rooted in a deep hunger for God and a recognition of his own human frailty. In later life, he wrote,
Before I met Parham, such a hunger to have more of God was in my heart that I prayed for five hours a day for two and a half years. I got to Los Angeles, and there the hunger was not less but more. I prayed, "God, what can I do?" The Spirit said, "Pray more." "But Lord, I am praying five hours a day now." I increased my hours of prayer to seven and prayed on for a year and a half more. I prayed to God to give what Parham preached, the real Holy Ghost and fire with tongues of love and power from God like the apostles had.
A spirit of prayer thus continued to characterize all aspects of the revival. Ernest S. Williams, who later became general superintendent of the Assemblies of God, visited the revival as a young man in 1907 and was astounded at what he encountered. Many year later, he wrote,
I wish I could describe what I saw. Prayer and worship were everywhere. The altar area was filled with seekers; some were kneeling; others were prone on the floor; some were speaking in tongues. Everyone was doing something; all were seemingly lost in God. I simply stood and looked, for I had never seen anything like it.
Women Played Prominent Roles
Although Seymour was acknowledged as the leader of the Azusa Street Revival, it was a black woman, Lucy Farrow, who provided the initial spark that ignited that revival. According to Mother Cotton, an early participant in the revival, no one spoke in tongues until Farrow arrived and began laying hands on the people and praying for them to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
Farrow, who was the niece of the famous abolitionist, Frederick Douglas, had been Seymour's pastor in Houston, and he first heard of the baptism in the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues from her. That she was held in high esteem by Seymour, is indicated by the fact that he specifically asked her to come from Texas to Los Angeles to teach them about the baptism in the Holy Spirit. This occurred while they were still meeting in the Asberry home on Bonnie Brae Street.
It was only after she arrived and began laying hands on people that the prayer group experienced an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, with many speaking in tongues and other spiritual gifts being manifest. A contemporary said, "She had an amazing gift for laying hands on people and them receiving the baptism in the Holy Spirit."
It was Farrow's example, no doubt, that resulted in women having out-front roles in the revival. Many women evangelists, missionaries, church planters and pastors went out from the revival. The January 1908 issue of The Apostolic Faith, the official publication of the revival, carried a statement about the role of women. It reads,
Before Pentecost, the woman could only go into the "court of the women" and not into the inner court. But when our Lord poured out Pentecost, He brought all those faithful women with the other disciples into the upper room and God baptized them all in the same room and made no difference. All the women received the anointed oil of the Holy Ghost and were able to preach the same as men. They both were co-workers in Eden and both fell into sin; so they both have to come together and work in the Gospel.
The Revival Impacts Modern Muslim Nations
The impact of the revival was phenomenal, with its influence spreading around the globe. This was made personally real to me when, in 2006, Susan and I were invited to be part of the ministry team for "Azusa Asia-Indonesia," which was organized by Spirit-filled Asian believers to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of the Azusa Street Revival.
Held in Jakarta, Indonesia, the largest Muslim nation in the world, I had the privilege of speaking to 70,000 people in the soccer stadium. This was not an evangelistic crusade, but a gathering of Spirit-filled, Asian believers who had come together to honor the Azusa Street Revival as a vital part of their spiritual heritage. Seymour, Farrow and others must have been smiling.
Susan preached twice in a large Spirit-filled church in Jakarta pastored by a woman, who was one of the supporters of Azusa Asia-Indonesia. In her home city of Jakarta, she was following in the footsteps of Farrow, Crawford and many other women who went forth from Azusa Street to preach the Gospel,
Sue also spoke at Bethel Seminary, which was located in a reputed jihadist area. In both places she saw many of the same manifestations that would have occurred at Azusa Street such as weeping, falling to the floor and speaking in tongues.
This experience highlighted for me the pervasive influence of the Asuza Street Revival for here we were in the largest Muslim nation in the world celebrating the 100-year anniversary of that revival. It was also a reminder that we are living in the time period spoken of in Acts 2:17, where Peter said,
"'In the last days it shall be,' says God, 'that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams'" (Acts 2:17).
What the Church Needs Now
The outpouring of the Holy Spirit that began on the Day of Pentecost was preceded by at least seven days of intense prayer in the upper room, and prayer continued to be a vital and fundamental part of the life of the early church.
In a similar way, the power of Azusa Street was preceded by times of intense prayer and seeking after God. Arthur T. Pierce was correct when he said, "There has never been a spiritual awakening in any country or locality that did not begin in united prayer."
What, therefore, is needed in the church today is not better preachers or more talented singers or a different church order. To borrow from the words of E.M. Bounds:
What the Church needs to-day is not more machinery or better, not new organizations or more and novel methods, but people whom the Holy Ghost can use—people of prayer, people mighty in prayer. The Holy Ghost does not flow through methods, but through people. He does not come on machinery, but on people. He does not anoint plans, but people—people of prayer, people mighty in prayer. {eoa}
Dr. Eddie Hyatt is the founder of America Reawakening, whose purpose is to educate Americans concerning their true Christian heritage, and to inspire the Christians of America to unite in praying for another great, spiritual awakening.

Ovarian Cancer Study Uncovers New Biology

- New inroads to diagnosis, treatment of ovarian cancer.- Click to Tweet
In what is believed to be the largest study of its kind, scientists at the Johns Hopkins University and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory led a study that examined the proteomes of 169 ovarian cancer patients to identify critical proteins expressed by their tumors.
By integrating their findings with the tumors' genetic data — the cancer genome — the investigators report the potential for new insights into the progress of the most malignant form of the disease.
"Correlating our data with clinical outcomes is the first step toward the eventual ability to predict outcomes that reflect patient survival, with potential applications for precision medicine and new targets for pharmaceutical interventions," says Daniel W. Chan, Ph.D., a professor of pathology and oncology who led the team at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. "But just like anything in medicine, clinical validation will be a long and rigorous process."
In a summary of the work published in the advance online edition of the journal Cell on June 29, the researchers say their achievement illustrates the power of combining genomic and proteomic data to potentially yield a more complete picture of the biology of a cancer that accounts for 3 percent of all cancers in women and is the fifth-leading cause of cancer deaths among women in the United States.
"With this knowledge, researchers expect to be better able to identify the biological factors defining the 70 percent of ovarian cancer patients who suffer from the most malignant form of ovarian cancer, called high-grade serous carcinoma," says Chan, a member of the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center. Currently, only one in six patients lives five or more years beyond diagnosis.
"Historically, cancer's been looked at as a disease of the genome," says Karin Rodland, Ph.D., chief scientist for biomedical research at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. "But that genome has to express itself in functional outcomes, and that's what the proteomic data add, because proteins are what get the actual work of the genome done."
That work starts, Rodland says, when genes are transcribed into RNA, the genetic material that makes protein, the full set of which is referred to as the transcriptome.
The biological complexity of cancer is due in significant part to the fact that not every part of the transcriptome leads to proteins, and not every protein stays stable, with many undergoing changes that affect their impact and interactions with other proteins.
In their effort to better explain ovarian cancer biology, each team studied subsets of 169 high-grade serous carcinoma tissue samples and accompanying genomic and clinical data drawn from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), a collaborative effort to map cancer's genetic mutations. The task for ovarian cancer was completed in 2011.
The Johns Hopkins team initially selected 122 of the samples based on those tumors' ability to repair damaged DNA — known as homologous recombination deficiency — and characterized by changes in genes, including BRCA1, BRCA2 and PTEN, mutations long linked to increased cancer risk and severity.
"We chose to examine these samples because patients with changes in these genes already are benefiting from a specific drug regimen for breast cancer, so if we could find similar changes in ovarian cancer genomes and proteomes, those patients would likely benefit from the same regimen," says Chan.
The Pacific Northwest team initially selected 84 samples based on overall patient survival times. "We examined the data for the shortest-surviving patients and the longest-surviving patients, hoping to pinpoint biological factors associated with extremely short survival or better-than-average, longer survival," says Rodland.
Then, through their participation in the Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC), a program of the U.S. National Cancer Institute that funded both teams, the two teams combined their efforts.
Using protein measurement and identification techniques, such as mass spectrometry, the teams identified 9,600 proteins in all the tumors and pursued study on 3,586 proteins common to all 169 tumor samples.
A hallmark of cancer, and particularly high-grade serous carcinoma, is the appearance of more copies of certain regions of the genome. These so-called copy number alterations can lead to changes in protein abundance. When the researchers compared known regions of copy number alterations, they found that parts of chromosomes 2, 7, 20 and 22 led to changes in abundance of more than 200 proteins. A more careful study of those 200 proteins revealed that many are involved in cell movement and immune system function, both processes implicated in cancer progression, the researchers say.
"By comparing data for overlapping patient samples and finding comparable measurements of protein analysis at both institutions, we think our findings indicate excellent scientific rigor and reproducibility," says Rodland.
This work should give researchers everywhere a wealth of credible information, she continues, because of the number of samples investigated, the number of proteins investigated in each sample, and the ability to cross-reference and correlate the new protein data with the TCGA genome and transcriptome data. "In brief, adding the proteome on top of the genome — what we call proteogenomics — provided a new dimension of information that enabled discovery of new biological insights into ovarian cancer while creating a valuable resource for the scientific community," says Rodland.
"High-grade serous carcinoma is such a challenging disease, requiring complex clinical care to achieve long-term survival. This new knowledge gives us new directions to test in the lab and clinic," says Douglas A. Levine, M.D., director of gynecologic oncology at the Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Cancer Center at NYU Langone Medical Center. "This proteogenomic analysis will help us improve patient outcomes and quality of life."
The ovarian cancer teams were co-led by Chan, Hui Zhang, Zhen Zhang (The Johns Hopkins University), and by Rodland and Richard Smith (Pacific Northwest National Laboratory). Co-authors of the study included Bai Zhang, Jian-Ying Zhou, Li Chen, Shisheng Sun, Lijun Chen, Punit Shah, Paul Aiyetan, Yuan Tian, Caitlin Choi, Stefani Thomas, Lori Sokoll, Ie-Ming Shih, Leslie Cope, Heng Zhu and Akhilesh Pandey of The Johns Hopkins University; Tao Liu, Samuel H. Payne, Jason E. McDermott, Vladislav A Petyuk, Debjit Ray, Feng Yang, Marina A. Gritsenko, Therese R. Clauss, Matthew E. Monroe, Song Nie, Chaochao Wu and Ronald J. Moore of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory; Douglas A. Levine of the Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Cancer Center at NYU Langone Medical Center; and Michael P. Snyder of Stanford University School of Medicine. Other contributors included colleagues from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, University of California, San Diego, New York University School of Medicine, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, the National Cancer Institute's Office of Cancer Clinical Proteomics Research, and the CPTAC investigators.

"Treasure Pot Feast (九大簋) only at Mouth Restaurant"
With humble beginnings that can be traced back to the early 80's in Hong Kong, Mouth Restaurant has been serving up authentic Cantonese cuisine to Singapore diners for the past 25 years.
Mouth Restaurant all began as a teahouse which serves quintessential Dim Sum to the Hong Kong community in Singapore, now evolving to become an all-inclusive Chinese restaurant offering modern Cantonese food at approachable prices.
Presently as of this writing, Mouth Restaurant has two outlets – one at China Square Central as pictured above and the other at Plaza Singapura. The China Square Central branch is conveniently situated beside Great Eastern Insurance building and is easily accessible via Chinatown MRT.
The restaurant's interior reminds me of a typical Hong Kong old school dim sum teahouse; yet when you take a closer look, you will notice that the restaurant is quite elegantly designed with some slight modern interpretations as seen from their floral wallpaper and lamps.
For a limited period only (6th Sep 2014 – 30th November 2014), Mouth Restaurant is offering a 9 course set which includes many Chinese delicacies such as suckling pig, sharks' fin soup and braised sea cucumber. This "Treasure Pot Feast" ( 九大簋)is available at both of the Mouth Restaurant outlets and retails at an unbelievable price of only $23.80 per pax, with a minimum requirement of 6 people per booking.
Traditional Braised Sharks' Fins. The starter for the Treasure Pot Feast is a traditional braised sharks fin. Honestly, the flavour was nothing to rave about but I guess it would be nostalgic for Hong Kong descendants and also for those who frequently visit the country known for shopping and eating, as this dish is reminiscent of the famous Hong Kong roadside sharks fin dish (碗仔翅).
I belong to the latter group and having this dish does bring back many fond memories of my childhood where I first tasted roadside sharks fin with my mother.
Baked Suckling Pig. To me, a Chinese feast is never complete without a juicy crispy suckling pig. Mouth Restaurant serves a baked suckling pig (the usual version is roasted) with no added oil hence making this dish a healthier and less oily version.
This pig is baked thoroughly from the natural oil of the animal itself. The skin is relatively crispy and crunchy whilst the meat is tender and tasty. If you have read my previous reviews, you may know that I am thoroughly a pork meat lover and that I enjoy the "Porky" smell and taste. This dish is perfect for my taste buds but might not be agreeable with others.
Pipa Prawns (琵琶虾). This dish is very interesting and something different. You know it's a prawn dish by sight but only after you take your first bite then you realise its a whole prawn deepfried with bread. This is a traditional and very early days Cantonese style Hong Kong dish; you will most probably not be able to taste this dish elsewhere.
This specially imported 'desert' prawn is deep fried with bread to golden brown perfection, making it extremely crispy but not oily. I am pretty sure even kids who are fussy eaters will give 2 thumbs up for this dish.
Braised sea cucumber & fish maw in superior sauce. This is yet another typical chinese dish always served at wedding dinners and other auspicious gatherings. Sea cucumber and fish maw are very healthy ingredients with many benefits. They are both excellent source of collagen hence can help improve plumpness of our complexion and also improve general blood circulation.
Mouth restaurant serves up a very savoury and not too salty version of this dish. The sea cucumber and fish maw are soft and chewy; definitely a dish that even your grandparents with weak teeth (or lack of them) can also enjoy.
Longhu Grouper SanPei style (三杯龙虎斑). Longhu grouper is a cross breed between the longdan (龙胆石斑) and tiger groupers (老虎斑). This dish is served in a sizzling hot pot with the fish deep fried and cooked in sanpei style with lots of spring onions, chilli and sweet basil.
I really quite enjoyed this dish because the fish meat is tender and with hardly any small bones. The basil gives the fish a fragrant kick and the chilli adds some extra zing to the taste.
Truffle infused asparagus with assorted mushrooms. This dish is only available for the 'Treasure Pot Feast' promo and not on the ala-carte menu. The asparagus is cut to perfect bite size portions and complements very well with the assorted mushrooms such as shitake, nameko and oyster mushrooms.
The dish is garnished with truffle flakes and ebiko; on the whole making this a pretty well executed modern vegetable dish. It's a bit odd though, suddenly having a western influenced dish amongst all the traditionally Chinese dishes, although the owner probably wants to capture a younger generation with all the truffle rage going on.
Claypot rice. Honestly, this dish was quite lackluster. The rice was rather bland and lacked the distinctive claypot wok hei smell and flavour. I was later told by the managing director of Mouth restaurant that this dish is cooked the non traditional way.
The rice and ingredients are steamed till half cooked then further heated up and cooked in a claypot; presenting a much healthier version of this dish. I presume health conscious people will prefer this cooking style, but really lacks the umph of true claypot rice.
Baked Custard buns (流沙包). Gosh! I'm left speechless after taking a bite. This is an OMG total "mouthgasm" dessert/dimsum dish! I do not like or normally eat custard buns but after much coaxing from editor Seth to try their signature baked liu sha bao, I sank my teeth into one of these golden babies. The filling inside was bursting with salted egg yolk flavour, it was thick but creamy smooth- love at first taste to me! A definite double must try if you are dining at Mouth restaurant.
Mouth Restaurant at China Square Central boasts 22 tables and also have VIP rooms suited for business meetings and other corporate gatherings. I will also recommend this restaurant for family lunches and dinners or even traditional chinese weddings. Their food variety and selection is wide and is value for money. The 9-course 'Treasure Pot Feast' promotion at just $23.80++ a person is also insane value too good to pass up.
Expected Damage: $30 – $40 per pax

Guinness Gingerbread Loaf is dense, dark, rich and satisfying with autumn flavors. When you bake this loaf, light a crackling fire and snuggle up with some loved ones – furry, children or adults. The house will smell so inviting that you just may have to turn your neighbors away.
I'm looking out on a dreary, rainy, chilly fall day. But inside, my husband and I (with our cat, Zoya) are snug and happy to be at home, waiting for this delicious Guinness Gingerbread Loaf to come out of the oven. I've recently started watching Laura in the Kitchen and when I saw this, I knew that I had to make it. It isn't fancy and that is perfect. While I may enjoy the artistry of a beautifully sculpted and plated confection, generally I want something that is delicious without being precious or too fussy. And please, NO SPRINKLES!
This Guinness Gingerbread Loaf comes together fairly quickly and with easy- to-find ingredients. And even though the recipe uses Stout, the alcohol cooks away in the baking process leaving only that delicious molassesy, caramelly taste. The spicing is just right. My husband and I ate this still warm from the oven and after one bite we just looked at each other with these slightly silly grins. So, so good. There is just a bit of crust and then you sink into this dense, moist cake. Did I say that this was delicious?
I wouldn't hesitate to give this to kids – as is or with a shmear of cream cheese or good butter. When my son was little, I would whip up gingerbread for him to eat when he got home from school. So even though many kids are schooling remotely from home, that doesn't mean that wonderful treats shouldn't await them when the school day ends.
There truly isn't enough comfort in the world that we couldn't use a bit more. Mix up this wonderfully comforting Gingerbread Loaf and take a breath. Let the autumn leaves fall and bring on the chill!
For other delicious gingerbread recipes try these:
Chocolate Stout Gingerbread Cake
Yield: 8 to 12 slices
- 2-1/3 cups of unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp of baking powder
- 2 tsp of ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp of ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp of kosher salt
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter softened at room temperature
- 1 cup of full flavor (robust) molasses or treacle (I actually used a combination of molasses and treacle since I didn't have quite enough molasses on hand.)
- 1 cup of Guinness Stout (or other Stout)
- 2/3 cup of dark brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp of pure vanilla extract
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and line the bottom with parchment paper. Leave a 2-inch overhang with the parchment. It isn't essential to do this step but makes getting the loaf out of the pan a little easier, especially if you aren't using a non-stick pan. Spray the parchment.
Combine the butter, Guinness Stout and molasses in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring once or twice to make sure that the butter melts. As soon as it comes to a boil, remove the pan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool for about 15 minutes.
Mix the flour baking soda, baking powder, salt and spices together in a medium bowl.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla nd brown sugar, breaking up any lumps. Add the dry ingredients along with the Guinness mixture and stir until combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for about 1 hour or until a tester comes out clean. I thought that my loaf was still a bit moist after one hour but didn't want to overbake it. So I turned off the oven, cracked open the door and left it in for another 10 minutes. I allowed it to cool on a wire rack for about an additional 10 minutes before removing from the pan.
The bread can be cut while it is still slightly warm, but allow it to cool for about an hour first. You can sprinkle with powdered or icing sugar for presentation, if you like.

Twitter App authentication error
I am getting the following error when configuring Twitter app settings on a new installation. As a result any schedules fail to trigger.
I've added the client's URL to the Callback URL whitelist in Twitter App's settings.
There was an error: Callback URL not approved for this client application. Approved callback URLs can be adjusted in your application settings
I've noticed that Twitter has the following in their docs:
If you do receive this error message, please check the URL that you are using with the callback_url parameter in your oauth/request_token call and make sure that this URL has been whitelisted in your Twitter app settings.
I wonder if the request from Perch is not including this newly-required callback URL in the parameter when trying to auth with Twitter?

Never Missing An Excuse To Attack Trig Palin
TBogg, who blogs at Firedoglake, doesn't want to miss an excuse to take a dig at Trig Palin, Sarah Palin's son who was born with Down Syndrome. The excuse this time is the Newsweek cover showing what even Media Matters calls a sexist portrayal of Palin.
What does the cover and the allegations of sexism have to do with Trig Palin? Absolutely nothing, but that doesn't stop TBogg from taking this cheap shot (caps and link in original):
…there is a distinct lack of action photography. No sweat. No blotchy skin. No visual evidence of a endorphin epiphany. What there is, besides the all-important reminder that she is the mother of BABY TRIG, GOD'S VERY OWN SPECIAL ANGEL YES HE IS – YES HE IS!, is a series of modelish poses of the type you might find accompanying a "Run for Your Life!" article in Marie Claire.
Perhaps Media Matters also will write about the obsessive need for some left-wing bloggers to mock and attack Trig Palin.
