One of our cooperative's main driving forces is sustainability and the environment. Our aim? To reduce our impact on the natural environment to a minimum. This is why we are so proud to become the first dairy company to be awarded the AENOR Carbon Footprint certificate. Keep reading to find out what this milestone is and what it represents!
Thanks to our Únicla dairy farms, with a 20% lower carbon footprint, CLUN has become the first milk producer in Spain to achieve the AENOR Carbon Footprint certificate.
The carbon footprint is a measuring tool that contributes to reducing CO2 emissions in products and organisations to fight climate change, also fostering energy efficiency.
From the farm to your table
Únicla is one of the few existing examples of the analysis of the life cycle of a product in the food sector. AENOR has taken into account all the processes, starting at the dairy farm (including fodder and diet) and continuing until the product reaches your table.
The results of the analysis, carried out by Dr. Almudena Hospido and the researcher Laura Roibás, from Grupo de Biotecnología Ambiental of the USC, and by the CLUN R&D department, have been published by the prestigious scientific journal Science of the Total Environment.
More sustainable dairy farms,100% natural milk
Únicla dairy farms are role models in food sustainability throughout Europe. In fact, this new certification adds to those we already have for Animal Welfare and Food Safety ISO 22000, and that also distinguish our sustainable methods, processes and products, and which resulted in our receiving the First Prize in the European Awards for Cooperative Innovation. Throughout our career we have distinguished ourselves for being pioneers in our production methods, processes and products, as recognised by the ISO 22000 quality standard, which our dairies also boast.
The welfare of the Únicla cows directly influences product quality. Moreover, they receive a natural and unique diet, supplemented with flax seeds, and they enjoy the benefits of the spring and autumn pastures all year round. This is how they are able to produce milk of the highest quality in an absolutely natural way, with less a lower content of saturated fats and with Omega 3 fatty acids, CLA and antioxidants. This also reduces the formation of methane in the cows' stomach and, consequently reduces its emission into the atmosphere.

The Hobrechtswald
Nature reserves
The group of contiguous lakes called "Bogenseekette" is an important part of the nature reserve.
In the last couple of years, large landscape zones within the "Naturpark Barnim" interstate nature park have been turned into nature reserves. Together with the Westbarnim Landscape Conservation Area (LCA) in Brandenburg, the Buch LCA forms a large and continuous landscape protection area. The Buch LCA covers an area of 870 hectares (2150 acres or 8.7 km2), and also contains the "Bogenseekette und Lietzengrabenniederung" nature reserve. A part of the nature reserve is in the Hobrechtswald, the "Bogensee" is located in the Buch Forest.
"Bogenseekette und Lietzengrabenniederung" nature reserveThis nature reserve consists of two separate parts, one of which is the "Liezengrabenniederung" to the west of the Buch Forest – a fen characterized by wetland meadows. Rare marsh birds and wetland fowl such as garganey, red-necked grebe and lapwings have established themselves in the newly developed expanses of water with reed belts and sedges. During migratory periods birds such as the crane use the wetlands as sleeping and breeding grounds. In dry periods sandpipers, such as the wood sandpiper and the common snipe, are attracted by the large mudflats that form due to the sinking water level.
The second part of the nature reserve is made up of the area around the "Bogenseekette" with reed belts, semi-natural forest in the north and the Buch woodland meadows. The "Bogenseekette" is an important spawning ground for amphibians, with over 2000 European toads migrating into the wetlands every year. The nature reserve also shelters numerous beetle species. A guidance system for small mammals and amphibians has also been installed, including several underpasses along the Schönlinder Chaussee road, so that the animals can migrate freely.
The Buch Forest forms the heart of the Buch Landscape Conservation Area and is made up of diverse, semi-natural, mixed woodland with waterlogged wooded areas and stands of oak and beech trees. Marsh marigold and iris grow on the moist meadows and in the patches of waterlogged forest. The only natural occurrence of the liverwort in the state of Berlin can be found in the old-growth forest. Woodpecker, tawny owl, bats and rare beetles live in the old beech and oak trees.
Adjacent nature reservesThree other nature reserves can be found adjacent to the Hobrechtswald. These are the "Karower Teiche" nature reserve to the south, the "Schönower Heide" nature reserve to the north and the "Mittelbruch" nature reserve to the east.

An Intimate, Blue and Grey Wedding at River Market Event Place in Kansas City, Missouri
Elisabeth (Lis) Randall (27 and a middle school science teacher) and Maria Kennedy (27 and a high school history teacher) opted for a palette of blue and gray to dress up their community-focused loft wedding. "In our nine years together, we've built such a strong community of friends and family that nurtured our relationship," Lis says. In keeping with their playful, easygoing vibe, Lis and Maria designed their own wedding invitations. "We struck a fun tone," Lis says, "so instead of saying, 'The reception will conclude at 11 o'clock,' we opted for, 'Shenanigans will continue until they kick us out at 11 p.m.' "

About the Team
Bruce was born and raised on the West Coast between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. Living in Grenada in his late teens may have contributed to a passion for the ocean, sailing and the tropics... it's hard to say but he never really left the sea after that. Captaining charter boats in the Caribbean, whale watching boat in Santa Barbara, and multiple off shore deliveries finally brought him to Sag Harbor.
He started Tait Yachts in 1982 as a family run brokerage firm; his daughter joined the firm in 1989 and now heads up the charter division. Yacht sales, commissioning and management projects have sent him to locales around the globe. His energetic, "hands on" attitude has solidified long term client relations and inter industry friendships along the way.
Bruce loves ocean and inshore yacht racing and has competed in Antigua Race weeks, the Marion and Newport-Bermuda race, Block Island Race Weeks, Heineken Regattas and Les Voile de St. Tropez. He races his J-105 every week in the summer and competes in most area regattas.
John Christopher Dowling - YACHT SALES | PROJECT MANAGEMENT | NEW CONSTRUCTION
Chris first joined us as a sailing instructor in 1983. Born in Jamestown, Rhode Island, Chris grew up sailing the East Coast and the Bahamas. Right out of school he went on to work in the yachting industry as a racing and charter captain. He has cruised and raced both sail and motor yachts from 15 feet to 195 feet. Chris enjoys competing in local and international regattas and won his division in the 2004 Newport Bermuda race of which he has competed in 4 times. He has occupied a desk part time in our office since 1998. Chris returned to the office full time in 2007 after moving to Greenport, NY with his wife and son bringing a wealth of knowledge about the workings of modern sailing and motor yachts both large and small from his hands on experiences.
Danielle Tait Barton - YACHT CHARTERS | SALES
Danielle joined Tait Yachts in 1989 and became a partner in 1994. A degree in Gallery Management and Business couldn't keep her away from joining the family business but certainly contributed to an eye for fresh and crisp décor and overall visual balance of a yacht's interior and exterior spaces. Local knowledge and a passion for cooking and entertaining has enabled her to select yachts with the best chefs for charter vacations and to assist her clients in planning a beautiful event on the water. Danielle enjoysdown time with her daughter, Annabelle and husband, gardening, sailing, paddling or picnicking at the beach.
Ken Deeg - YACHT SALES
A full time resident of the east end, Captain Ken grew up on Long Island, Boating throughout the East coast and working in the marine industry since 1999. He is a 5 year us cg veteran with extensive mechanical and operational knowledge of a wide range of vessels and vessel systems. Ken is a 100 ton masters licensed captain with towing and fcc radio endorsements. After his coast guard tour in 2004 he operated commercial and private vessels along the east coast. He is well recognized in the east coast marine industry for his extensive knowledge of power and sailing yachts, putting his clients first is always his top priority.
Blade - YACHT CHARTERS | SALES
Blade grew up in New York City and spent his summers and weekends in Sag Harbor. He learned how to sail at Breakwater Yacht Club (BYC) at the age of 8. When he wasn't sailing at BYC, he was fishing all the local docks for snappers. As a teenager he worked as a Sailing instructor at BYC and would eventually become the Head instructor for the Summer youth sailing program and the Head Coach of the local High School Sailing Team. He also spent his free time racing in many of the local regattas which he continues today. His favorite being the Wednesday night series. In 2009 Blade received his USCG MMC Masters 50 GT license and worked as a freelance captain and crew on all size yachts from 5 to 500GT. He's completed multiple yacht deliveries up and down the East Coast between Rhode Island and Florida.His fishing experience has grown from the local docks to a knowledge of the water from Noyac Bay to Montauk. Blade has spent the last six years as a manager at Fruit of the Vine in New York City where he developed skills in logistics, importing, and client fulfillment. Blade currently lives on Shelter Island. He is married to his beautiful wife Lauren and they are proud to announce the birth of their first child, a baby girl on May 11th, 2018.
Kevin Dailey - YACHT CHARTERS | SALES
Kevin is celebrating his 40th year in the marine industry in 2018. He started as a sailmaker at D&D Sailmakers, which he eventually became President and owner. In the late 1990's, he sold the loft to North Sails and he managed the North Sails Long Island loft before accepting a yacht sales and brokerage position at Nautor's Swan New York in 2000.
Joe Grey - SECURITY
"Smokin" Joe Grey was born in the artist community of springs in the town of East Hampton, right around the corner from the Jackson Pollock house. His interests, however, were not of an artistic nature, but rather the rough and tumble life on the streets. His reputation preceded him and Tait Yachts put Joe on the payroll in the summer of 2003; he has earned his keep heading up security and rodent control ever since. Be warned if you are a small to mid size dog... be afraid, very afraid.
After fifteen plus years, "Smokin" Joe Grey has completed his "Security tasks" at Tait Yachts, job well done... RIP


text: 8th Graders based their work on famous pieces of art, but substituted animals in place of people and objects. This time we have Gustav Klimt's pink pig, Georgia O'Keeffe's snail, and a Paul Klee inspired cow jumping over the moon! Can you tell which great artists are represented by the next generation?


text: I normally don't like to tell people it's my birthday but today is my 40th. Not that it matters but this year was a little different than previous years. I ran six marathons in my 30's. Living a clean and healthy lifestyle has always been a big part of my life. My dad is in his mid 70's and can still go outside an run 3 to 5 miles easy. He has grown his own organic vegetables in his huge garden since I was a little girl and he still does to this day. I battled through a handful of different injuries during training for my last marathon a few years ago and decided that it might be my body telling me it just isn't cut out for that sort of rigorous training anymore. However, I'm a goal oriented person and I needed a new target to aim my sights at...read more.

Police are hunting two men after a calous and sickening attack on an elderly woman in QEII Square at around 5:30 pm on Saturday afternoon.
The woman, who does not want to be identified as she is fearful of reprisals, was hit to the right side of the face by an unidentified man and her handbag was taken.
The first attacker is described as "wearing black and having something over his head".
He was of a medium build and 179cm tall.
The second person is described as having a thin build and being shorter, wearing light clothing and no shoes.
The attack occurred just before 5.30pm while there was still some daylight and after the woman had left the toilets at the centre and was headed towards where her car was parked in Olive Street via an alleyway on the eastern side of the building between the square and Swift Street
The offenders are believed to have ran off along Swift Street towards Olive Street.
The stolen handbag was recovered near a fire exit at the Albury Convention and Performing Arts Centre and handed in to police.
It is still not known exactly what was stolen.
Anyone with information is asked to ring Albury police on 02) 60 239299.

My current setup
It's getting a little old. A, S, N, L and E keys are blank. D, W, C and cursor keys are almost there. Some of the left-most keys are getting sticky enough to not work once in a blue moon. Lastly, one of the rubber feet has come loose and things are getting bad.
I want something which will improve my typing speed.
I want plenty of media/programmable keys (I tend to launch up to six websites from my keys at present).
Preferably with backlit option, but this is optional. Not interested in gaming keyboards, but will consider one if it satisfies the three main criteria.
Budget of £50 ideally. Might stretch to £80.
The current mouse is pretty good most of the time. Occasionally hard to get onto that specific pixel in a large image in Paint. It's a laser cordless and it's on the desk (which is slightly textured and laminated).
I use the scroll wheel with the soft clicks, and also the scroll left and right click of the wheel.
I use the forward and back buttons inside the thumb.
I generally don't use the top button (to the left of the wheel), or the button under the thumb, but I might in future.
Total budget of £100 including the keyboard...maybe £120 at a massive push.
I wonder if I might better at going for pretty much the same/similar mouse again, and avoid the productivity drop.

I once followed Parliament sessions in Singapore quite closely. I am genuinely interested to know what the Singapore government is doing for the people, the ones it says it is representing.
After a while, I lost interest. I thought perhaps I'm not patient enough to listen to everything. The sessions were honestly, boring. The format isn't exactly a debate like the one in the UK. I couldn't shake the feeling that the sessions are more like an information session for the ruling government to inform the rest of the nation
what it has decided to do. [Rephrased] what it thinks is in the best interest of the nation and us, the people. That, I can read from the papers the next day. Plus the papers provide further analysis and opinions. So I stopped watching the post 10pm news telecast of Parliament session highlights.
Over time, I didn't see or hear anything that seemed to change my impression. The "lively debate" surrounding the two casinos. What a public reaction – for once, SIngaporeans spoke up. But wait, as the furor died down, I realised none of what was said seemed to have made any difference to the final outcome. It seemed it was a done deal afterall. Life goes on and now we can be proud we have two casinos thriving in approx. 700 km2 of land area.
Then there is the perennial 'debate' about our ministers' salaries. I am not sure how this policy came to pass. I am under the impression that this matter while hotly debated and even soundly criticised by Sylvia Lim (Chairman of Workers' Party in Singapore in this video), the policy was never an option. It was a done deal.
This is an interesting article that compares Singaporean ministers' salaries to leaders around the world – I have not verified the information and probably wouldn't. If what is reported is accurate, I am shocked. How can our ministers, who supposedly represent the common people, empathise with what is going on on the ground, when they live in such lofty skies? Our PM earns more than Obama in a year (base salary only).
Then there is the 6 million population target. Where did that come from??? Who decided Singapore needs 6 million people? Assuming that indeed is the magic number for our little country, what was the planning done to absorb that? We are NOW over congested – our roads, our trains, our buses. Sky high cost of living. Young couples having to wait an average 3 years for a home to call their own, that is, provided they can afford it.
LTA is compensating for wrongful estimates in number of cars and COEs needed. Now we are paying the price of it. Take the public transport they say. Transport Minister, with all due respect, have you ever tried taking the MRT during peak hour yourself? Have you ever done it, without informing the civil servants of an impending visit?
HDB is still boasting that it is doing all the right things to ensure Singaporeans have a roof over their heads, just be patient. The BTO scheme is at its most aggressive ever, it says. Yet there are reports ever so often that a project is only a go if it meets the minimum subscription rate. If it doesn't, sorry for those who did put in a bid, you have to wait for the economic numbers to make sense before you get a sniff of your future home. As the name suggest, built to order (BTO). You forgot the fine print – only build when there is minimum order. Perhaps they should change the name to BTMO??
Public service goods should be exactly that, PUBLIC SERVICE goods. Sure there is a cost to these goods. The role of the government is to ensure taxpayers' monies are used to benefit the people, the country, not wasted on nonsensical things and spent carelessly. The HDB is using taxpayers' funds to build these homes. Yes they are subsidized (by who again?). They are not free; we still pay for them. (BTW, the fact the HDB flats are on a 99 year lease means we are really renting them from the government, not real ownership per se.) LTA, HDB and Singapore Power are all making money. These goods – public transport, public housing and power – are all money-making enterprises. Why aren't social goods being treated as they are supposed to be?
My sister shared with me a story recently about a friend who went to a government hospital due to severe stomach pains. Before she was allowed to see a doctor, she was told to pay up first. No payment, no doctor. Oh what about the latest episode where a hospital told a patient the queue is 3 mths for subsidised healthcare as opposed to 3 minutes if you opt for private?
As someone so aptly summed it up: Singapore is a great place to live in if you have the financial means.
I found recent remarks by the new Workers' Party candidate Chen Shao Mao a breath of fresh air and poignant (see end of article). Finally someone is asking the right questions and zooming in on the matters that will make a difference to all of us.
If only the government will listen for a change, instead of busy defending its policies and deflecting mistakes. Look, I am a huge fan of the Singapore government. I am a Malaysian who is born and bred here and lived in Singapore all my life. I love Singapore. It is my home and believe it or not, I consider it home and my country.
Without a doubt, Singapore wouldn't be where it is today, and everyone who lives in this city state will not have the lifestyle options we have, if not for the ruling government. (The quality of life is a different story and left to another post.)
I am not a supporter of the opposition parties. As a PR I don't even get to vote. I wrote this not as an act of defiance towards the PAP. I am not interested in the opposition's proposition that the opposition will provide an alternative government to keep the ruling government in check. That remains to be seen.
I support anyone who can contribute to my country and I think this job is big enough, important enough to include everyone with the ability and passion to serve this country, regardless of the party. If it is rubbish, it is rubbish. If it makes sense, can we give it a chance?
Is it too much to ask the government to LISTEN to the people and for once, accept with humility that it has made mistakes and accept that it is not the only one capable of leading Singapore to the next level?
Several senior members of the ruling party have clearly said that this election is critical to the long term success of Singapore. Watershed. Indeed.
My humble opinion is that the government has to demonstrate that it is truly – not just paying lip service to – paying attention to what the people are saying. Instead of crushing and stifling the opposition and get all wrapped up in looking good politically, LISTEN to the people.
Singaporeans are not stupid (the government made sure of that – we have one of the highest literacy rates in the world.) We have been quietly watching and learning. We are more passionate about this country than some people give us credit for sometimes. We can think, if the government stops for a second to assume we can't. If the opposition is without substance and you are truly serving the people, you will see the polls reflecting that understanding.
Excerpt from Interview with Chen Shao Mao, first appeared in Lianhe Zaobao and subsequently translted into English.
A dominant party is efficient in executing policies, but what effects has this brought about? What are our most important policies In recent years? Yes, it is the foreign labour policy. To let in foreign labour is to spur the economy, without concern about productivity that we've previously talked about. This policy has created a crude economic growth, and what is the price? It is the jobs, education, housing, living space, transportation of Singaporeans. These are all part of the price that we've paid.
Before the implementation of this policy, what form of discussion have we had? You have heard that Singapore plans to house a population of 6.5 million in the future, but not everybody is sure that this is indeed our policy. Such an important policy, are people consulted for a discussion? Didn't they know that this will have a great impact on the lives on Singaporeans? To me, this discussion is insufficient. Even if having multiple parties in the Parliament affects efficiency, but to have a debate in the Parliament for huge policy decisions, is this inefficiency a fair price to pay? I think it's worth it.

Throughout May Outside In has two exhibitions in Brighton. 'Home Away From Home', by Thompson Hall, features a newly commissioned set of paintings around re-imagined views through windows. This exhibition, at The Regency Town House, is a co-commissioned work that is part of HOUSE Festival and will be open from April 30-29 May 2016. Alongside this four Outside In artists have explored the theme 'Who Are You?' in an exhibition forming part of Artists Open Houses at The Wellbeing Gallery on Western Road – our third time showcasing artists with this gallery. This exhibition will be open every weekend across May and features two workshops by the exhibiting artists.
In 'Home Away From Home' at the Regency Townhouse Thompson has re-imagined views from his home in North London and views from his visits to Brighton, including from the renowned Regency Town House where the exhibition will be shown. He works intuitively in a variety of media, specialising in acrylic paint and pastel. His work begins with observational sketches from the urban landscape, providing the basis for artwork that depicts the world as seen by Thompson.
Rather than an accurate re-creation, Thompson prefers to convey a mood with carefully mixed colours chosen to capture a visual equivalent to a particular emotional or spiritual state rather than depicting true-to-life colours. Thompson said that he wanted the paintings to "give the feeling of being somewhere else, besides your home, and the mixed emotions this creates."
To find out more about Thompson's exhibition click here
'Who Are You' at the Wellbeing Gallery features thought-provoking work by Outside In artists Yap, Stephen Hawthorne, Stephen Humphrey and Luc Raesmith. The exhibition looks at how a diverse range of artists engage with the story of oneself through a variety of mediums including painting, drawing and assemblage. The artists all share strong autobiographical elements within their art work. Their work and their stories are a powerful message of the way that making art can help our health and well-being.
We have focused on exhibiting artist Stephen Hawthorne who is based in Brighton and has traveled the world painting using oil pastels on reclaimed materials, creating expressive organic portraits of the people and friends he meets along the way.
To show the different sides of each personality he takes a shaken photograph and "looks for the serendipitous happy accident of different expressions" and then paints that photo using a grid method. Stephen says, "Painting or carving every day, I treat art as a meditation. These portraits were painted in a time of great turmoil in my life when I was made homeless and I painted over 100 portraits while sitting on the streets of Brighton."
As painting has helped Stephen so much he has said "I want to inspire everyone to create art in whatever way they can, as it can help to take you away to a place where no problems can reach you and all your fears and worries can be washed away."
Karen – "I met Karen at a spoken word club in the early 90's and she has been my best friend ever since. She helped me to save my accommodation when I messed up by letting too many homeless friends stay in my flat. She helped to sort all my paper work and earned the nickname 'admin girl' from me, for her super powers in saving me so many times."

Led by Ingersoll Gender Center, the Transgender Economic Empowerment Coalition has been awarded a two-year grant of $550,000 by King County as part of the Communities of Opportunity partnership. The coalition will address the economic barriers transgender and gender-nonconforming communities and LGBTQ people of color experience as a result of transphobia, homophobia and racism. The Coalition will build leadership development programs and engage area employers to develop model employment policies.
As the largest LGBT and allied chamber of commerce in North America, GSBA says it will "focus on entrepreneurship and fostering the creation of small businesses run by transgender and gender non-conforming people. Additionally, GSBA will work with Coalition partners to create a model employment policy, provide training, and produce a business toolkit to be used by businesses to ensure they are treating their employees with the dignity and respect they deserve."
"As a coalition of community led organizations we have been working together for decades to support and advocate for our communities. We are excited to receive this funding because it will expand our capacity to think bigger and develop a bolder vision of policies and programs to interrupt the systemic poverty our communities face – making a profound impact on the lives of transgender and LGBTQ communities of color," says Karter Booher, Executive Director of Ingersoll Gender Center.
"We applaud King County for making a significant investment in addressing the enormous disparities faced by our transgender community, which suffers significant underemployment and lack of access to economic opportunities. GSBA is thrilled to be one of the named partners included in the Communities of Opportunity grant awarded to launch our community's first Transgender Economic Empowerment program," says Louise Chernin, President and CEO of GSBA.

Experience retrospective
As a designer, I try to take every opportunity I can to try new products and interact with new digital tools. I recently needed to purchase a new car and have been very interested in exploring services that allow you to buy and sell your car online. I tried two different services, one was Carvana and the other was Vroom. I filled out a request on both websites to have them appraise my current vehicle, because Vroom came back with a higher quote I chose to move forward with their experience.
The process was quite bumpy for me and after some time, even small things started to upset me because it was one thing after another after another. Ultimately it took me 6 weeks to complete a process that could've happened in a matter of days and in the end I was less than excited about my experience. I decided to create a journey map of it to share with my design, tech and product partners to demonstrate how important service design and design is in the digital products we create by showing them what a disjointed service looks like from the customer's point of view.
The end product is below, but for best viewing use the link below to download and look at on a desktop.
As a service designer these were the top things that stood out to me as negative customer experiences that resulted from a lack of business coordination or proper design:
Overarching take aways to remember when designing a product or service:
1. Third party partners have a big influence on how customers perceive a brand, whether it's justified or not
2. without clear direction or incentives a fast and simple process can become unneccessarily slow
3. Multi-channel communication with customers should be clear, consistent and on brand
4. Transparency to 'backstage' activities is not a good thing

When I think back on the 2017 wedding season and all of the great couples and vendors I worked with, there are a few that stand out in particular. Lizzie & Carlo's wedding day is one of those special ones. They were sweet, down to earth, and gave me that "creative freedom" that we all crave. Lizzie knew what she wanted, and she trusted me to bring her vision to life. A warm and inviting wedding with modern and minimalistic style. A truly wonderful team was put together for this day, and I could not be more excited to share the STUNNING photos from The Popes! Thank you Lizzie and Carlo.

Mexican Quinoa Salad
Remember how I said I love all foods Mexican? I wasn't kidding. I actually can't get enough. Side note: am I the only one who will fixate on one specific dish and want to eat it every single day for three months and then needs a serious break from it? My current fixation is this salad.
The Greek Quinoa Salad I made a few a posts back was actually an attempt to wean myself off of this salad. It obviously didn't work (but it was really good, you should totally make it).
This Mexican quinoa salad makes quite a lot, but I really don't see it going bad in your fridge! Even if you're cooking for one, you could have it for dinner one night, then lunch the next day, then as a side the next night. Its that good. Trust.
Mexican Quinoa Salad
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
- 1 can black beans (rinsed & drained)
- 1 can corn (drained)
- 3 peppers [I use red / orange / yellow] (chopped)
- 15 cherry tomatoes (quartered)
- 1 bunch green onions (chopped)
- 2 bunches cilantro (chopped)
- 2 avocados (peeled, pitted & sliced)
- 6 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 - 1 tsp cumin (optional)
- 2-3 lemons
- salt & pepper to taste
- Put everything in a bowl.
- Stir it.
- Slice the lemons in half & squeeze them over everything (taste after 2, it may be enough for you)
- Salt & pepper to taste.
- Eat.

Go to Google and search bacon. About 178,000,000 results, right? Now search sex. About 3,050,000,000 results (at least by last night's count). So there are some 17 times more results for sex than bacon. That's still a pretty good ratio considering the motivating factor of the human race. So it's no surprise bacon recipes do well, and no surprise bacon-wrapped recipes do well. That's one reason The Daily Meal's Cook editors assigned a week of Recipe SWAT Team to bacon-wrapped recipes (if only there could be a bacon-wrapped sex recipe, but this is a PG-rated site... shh!). When thinking about all the ridiculous, yet tasty and fun bacon-wrapped recipes we could create, one challenge came to mind amongst The Daily Meal's staff: Deep-Fried Bacon-Wrapped Fried Ice Cream. Just saying.
There are all kinds of ridiculous reasons to do try this recipe, but mostly you should try it: 1) because if you don't have one it's a great excuse to go buy a reasonably priced countertop deep-fryer, 2) you're wrapping something with bacon that shouldn't be wrapped with bacon and then fried, and 3) see one and two, but with the dessert factor thrown into the mix. Fair warning... for this recipe you need: (per that first reason) a deep-fryer, patience, and a healthy degree of self-restraint — cereal-crusted ice cream tastes really good even before it's deep-fried.
Two more things to think about before you get started. Many recipes cite a Mexican fried ice cream said to have originated at Chi Chi's. That recipe and many others call for vanilla ice cream and Kellogg's Corn Flakes. Truth is, there are worlds of other possibilities. Think of every ice cream flavor and cereal combination you can. We're talking strawberry ice cream and Fruit Loops and chocolate ice cream and Kellogg's Corn Pops. Everything goes. Many recipes also call for coconut flakes and or nuts. This one doesn't. It's a four-ingredient deep-fried bacon-wrapped fried ice cream. That's it... just four.
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream (or your favorite flavor)
- 12 slices bacon (hickory, apple-smoked, or whatever your favorite kind is as long as it's not tofu or turkey)
- 2 whole eggs
- 2 Cups cereal, such as Corn Flakes
Get the fryer going — 370 degrees sounds good.
Meanwhile, portion out the ice cream. Whichever brand of ice cream you use (I use Häagen-Dazs for this kind of thing if I'm not making my own), and whatever flavor you use (very important here, butter pecan and rum raisin were staff favorite suggestions, bacon ice cream would be epic, of course, but would require another recipe — we went vanilla), you're going to want it to soften enough to be able to cut through it but keep it hard enough so that after cutting into your desired portions, you can quickly refreeze it... hard.
Portions depend on the brand and its container or the amount of time you're willing to spend forming it to the optimum desired-sized molds for wrapping bacon around them. (Also, be sure to consider the length of the bacon post par-fry!) And the length of time will you'll need to freeze them will vary depending on portion size. The pint of Häagen-Dazs was easily divided into 4 portions after letting it melt enough to slide out of the container. Get those ice cream portions in the freezer immediately on a plate or in a bowl, but separated from each other! In this case, 30 minutes after portioning the ice cream, it should be ready for the next step.
After portioning the ice cream, par-fry the bacon. With the fryer set to 370 degrees, about 18-23 seconds will do just fine. You want the bacon pliable enough to be able to stretch it out flat after removing it from the fryer without it breaking later when you wrap it around the ice cream, but still done enough that you're only to have to fry the bacon-wrapped ice cream for about 10 seconds or less.
After removing the bacon slices from the fryer, gently stretch them out on a plate covered with paper towel, cover them with another piece of paper towel, and (making sure the bacon slices are stretched out as you lower them) place a second plate on top. You can turn off your fryer for a while now unless you have a chimichanga to make in the interim. Err on the side of undercooking the bacon. After it has a chance to settle after stretching, you can always fry for another few seconds for more crispness and repeat the stretching and flattening process.
Whisk the eggs in a bowl to create the egg wash, and using a food processor (or a sealable plastic bag and a rolling pin) crush enough Corn Flakes or other cereal to score 3 cups of powdery-crunchy coating mixture. Remove the ice cream from the freezer when hard, dip in the cereal mixture, and toss additional flaky-powder mixture over until well coated on all sides of each piece.
Place a piece of waxed or parchment paper on a plate. Remove to the plate and place back in the freezer. Wait another 30 minutes until solid and then dip each piece in the egg wash. Return each, one at a time, to the bowl of cereal powder, making sure to coat on all sides. Place back on the paper-lined plate and freeze for another 30-60 minutes until completely solid. To be safe, leave them in the freezer on high for about 2 hours without opening the door.
Now the moment of truth.
Once the ice cream is frozen solid, you need to wrap it with bacon. If the bacon reaches all the way around, if you want to lattice it, if you want to interlace it, tie it in bows and do a head-to-tail wrap so as not to show any of the cereal-crusted ice cream portions beneath it, go for it. This recipe calls for wrapping each cereal-crusted and battered ice cream fillet with 3 rounds of bacon. Where the ends need to meet, use a toothpick to connect them. Once you've wrapped the fillets with par-fried bacon and secured them, stick them back in the freezer for 10 more minutes to be safe. In the meanwhile, power the fryer back up to 370 degrees.
Here's the tricky part: time to fry. Drop the bacon-wrapped ice cream into the basket gently. Let it settle for about 10 seconds and then remove to a paper towel. Place on a plate and garnish as you desire, but whatever you do, serve and eat it quickly!

In this tutorial, we learn how to tie the Basket Weave decorative knot. First, hook your string to a hook, then tie a loop that is wide. After this, bring the strings to the top and make a heart shape. Now, twist the two loops on the side and twist them around each other. Now, bring the right string through the right loop and up through the left. Do this for the left string except using the opposite loops. When you are finished, pull on this tightly and release the string from the hook. Make sure the knot is firm, then enjoy your basket weave knot!

Production Underway in Puerto Rico for Season 3 of Crackle's STARTUP
Crackle, Sony Pictures Television Networks' free, ad-supported streaming network, today announced that production is underway in Puerto Rico for season three of the 10-episode original drama series STARTUP. In addition, Academy Award-winning actor Mira Sorvino joins the cast as Rebecca Stroud, a NSA special agent who has come to investigate ArakNet, and will do whatever it takes to have ArakNet partner with the government.Season one of "StartUp" centered on the world of cryptocurrency. In season two, the focus was on the cost of ambition and we watched as our three UNEXPECTED comrades crossed the line in order to get back what was taken from them. In this upcoming season, those same three friends will be fighting it out for power in 10 explosive episodes and will be threatened by what might be the most dangerous criminal organization of all: the U.S. Government. Returning in season three are series' stars Adam Brody ("CHiPS," "The League"), Ron Perlman (Hellboy, "Sons of Anarchy"), Edi Gathegi ("The Blacklist," "The Blacklist: Redemption"), Otmara Marrero ("Graceland"), and Addison Timlin ("Californication"). In addition to Mira, the following will also join the new season with recurring roles: Zachary Knighton ("Santa Clarita Diet") as Tucker, a wildly successful hedge-fund manager who wrestles silently with the guilt of having been handed everything by his father, and entertains the idea giving ArakNet their series B financing to separate himself from the heard; Tyler Labine ("Deadbeat," Tucker and Dale vs. Evil) as Martin, Tucker's brother, who is quietly jealous of his older brother's good looks and status, and tragically overcompensates through partying and womanizing, a lifestyle that eventually lands he and Tucker's firm in hot water; and Jason Kravits ("Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt") as Richard "Haggie," who is crafty but desperately INSECURE and will attempt to break the cycle of abuse of which Wes lords over him. Mira Sorvino can next be seen in the hit ABC series "Modern Family" in 2018 and in Audience Network's series "Condor," opposite Max Irons and Brendan Fraser. Prior to that, she was seen in Adam Marino's Beneath the Leaves and also played pivotal roles in the drama series "Intruders" for BBC America, as well as arcs on the series "Stalker" and "Falling Skies." She won an Academy Award(R), Golden Globe and several additional honors for her performance in Woody Allen's Mighty Aphrodite. Her other credits include Trade of Innocents, Union Square, Human Trafficking, Reservation Road, Quiz Show, Summer of Sam, Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion and Norma Jean and Marilyn. She is a Harvard graduate and an official ambassador for the United Nations on Human Trafficking. In that role, she has traveled the world on behalf of the UN and testified to Congress on human trafficking and atrocities occurring around the world from Mexico to Darfur to here in the United States. "StartUp" is produced by Critical Content and Hollywood Gang Productions. Gianni Nunnari, Shannon Gaulding, Tom Forman, Andrew Marcus, Ray Ricord, and Anne Clements ("The Oath") all serve as executive producers. The series is created and written by Ben Ketai ("Chosen," THE FOREST) who also serves as executive producer and director. Adam Brody, Ron Perlman and Edi Gathegi serve as producers.

"Madam, I want to thank you for your recommendation," Steven said. I smiled casually and answered," No problem, we thank God"
The promotion list has just being released and all the lucky staff are dropping by to show their appreciation.
My life is so sweet and beautiful. I get to wake up whenever I like, sleep whenever I want and do whatever I like.
How did I get here……
Let's rewind my life a little🙃….
I came into the office on a splendid morning two years ago and my boss was like;
"I'm yet to receive on the query sent to you yesterday"
And I'm like
"Sir, I will do that just right away, my apologies please."
So I get down to the business of answering queries. First I sign on to my windows and check my mailbox.
7 messages waiting
👀Eyes popping, my mind was like😳😳I need to read this
Dear Miss Lara,
Kindly explain why I have not received a response to the query sent to you since 9:32am yesterday.
Your response should get to the undersigned and all copied person before COB today.
Thank you.
Lancelot Chukwudika
Head, Kabasa Outlet
Life Assurance PLC
Which message is my query…
Yeah… Tada
Dear Miss Lara,
It has been observed that you have not met up on the performance index given to you for the month. As a result of your poor performance, your appraisal is going to be questioned.
The outlet is expected to deliver 98% on KPI and you are yet to explain why we should keep paying you for not delivering on expectation.
Your response should get to the undersigned on or before 12noon today.
Thank you
Lancelot Chukwudika
Head, Kabasa Outlet
Life Assurance PLC
I quietly rose from my desk and paced around my office. I wish I could just hit the gym and clear my head. Appraisal ke!!!
It's been five years since I joined the company. Every year I hit performance index of 99%, saying to myself,
"I'll get promoted this year."
The promotion list is out and my boss arranges his face like a box of cheese saying,
"You know that promotion is being calibrated. Some of us have been in this bank for years and we're not promoted for like nine years."
The tales by moonlight begins of how they were paid N18640 as in 1993 when they joined the bank and the end of the story remains, "I will shortlist your name next year. In the meantime, I'm very impressed with your KPI performance."
The the wolf smile
"Keep it up"
Guess what, my friends Temilade and Amaka were promoted, KPI 97% Riverside outlet and 94% Madaki outlet respectively. We joined the same year.
So I sighed deeply and exercised my fingers.
Get ready, it's time…..
My before the COB query response…
Good Afternoon Sir,
I apologize for dropping the ball on my performance this month.
However that being said, since a query is a kind of question. That one that says "kindly explain?"; here's my explanation,
I have just seven things on my mind;
1. I have currently hit 97.8 and today is 20th. I don't understand why I'm getting this query. Please send it again on the 31st then you will be justified.😏
2. Last month I score 99.38% leading the entire outlet, no one got any query for poor performance so why am I getting one?🤔
3. For three years I have been due for promotion but you keep giving that omelette face smile instead of recommendation. Since I'm still expecting your dumb face this year, you can stick your query in your ass😆👿
4. Since your cousin gets promoted every year, even when she did not meet your "calibrator's requirement", I hope she's getting this same query as I am. Everyone knows she was on 62.47% as at yesterday.👍🏾Wehdone sir.
5. The reward that was sent to the branch last month for my outstanding performance as a key player and as a team, we are yet to get alert???👀👀👀or is it only my account that has alarm problem😂😂😂😂.
6. Don't forget, I still have the original invoice of payments for the generator repair, the new photocopier and the original receipt for the fumigation done last month. They showed huge differences from the amount reimbursed into our general services and miscellaneous account respectly. I need your advice, should I whistle blow??
7. Since you are very good at drafting queries. Please find attached a copy of my resignation letter. I need your editorial advice to be sure it was properly drafted.
I hope my explanation covered all your enquiries😜😜
P.S: I still have dos pics from the nights at the convention. I'm sure your Madam will love them😂😂
I have not copied everyone as you requested as I await your confirmation.
Best regards
Lara Collins
Team Lead, Financials
Kabasa Outlet
Life Assurance PLC
Message Delivered…..
It's been two years now since that query and I'm still at Life Assurance PLC. I am now the Head, Graceville Outlet. My promotion was as rapid as ever
😄😄🤓😎I wish I got that query two years earlier than it came.
Now you know why I love my life.

The JOBS Act of 2012 has made it much easier for private companies to connect with investors and raise capital. While this presents a great opportunity to grow your business, it also adds an additional layer of administration when it comes to tracking your investors' holdings and communicating with them regularly.
There are a few ways to manage your cap table. You can pay your law firm to take care of it (at their hourly rate). Or you can handle it yourself with spreadsheets or software. Or you can partner with a transfer agent to do the work for you. There are many great reasons to outsource your cap table to a transfer agent. If you are pursuing a Reg A+ capital raise, you MUST engage an SEC-registered transfer agent anyway. But even if you are not, here are a few reasons to consider it:
Make sure you are in compliance. There is a lot more to managing your cap table than keeping track of who owns what. If you answer "no," "I didn't even think about that!" or "say whaaa?" to any of these questions, you will benefit from the help of a transfer agent.
- Are you confident that you fully understand your obligations regarding securities regulations?
- Are you prepared to protect your investors from losing possession of their abandoned securities?
- How will you involve investors in voting on key decisions?
- Do you know the correct legal requirements to transfer ownership upon death of an investor? Or a divorce? Or bankruptcy?
- What's your liability if you replace a lost certificate that is sold or transferred to another person? Or if an investor has pledged it as collateral for a loan?
- Are you able to prove to a state that you have been complying with abandoned property rules? Are you able to prove your investors are not "lost?"
- Are you set up to distribute dividends via automated clearing house (ACH), check or wire?
- Can you track W8/W9 tax withholding status?
- Are you prepared to report payments for tax purposes to the IRS and provide 1099s to your investors?
There is a lot to think about when it comes to dealing with investors. And mistakes in this area can be costly.
Stay focused on your company. Managing the cap table and all the related activity is time consuming. Allowing a transfer agent to handle this work frees up valuable time for you and your team to focus on growing your business, rather than monitoring recordkeeping details and financial regulations.
Keep your investor data secure. Many companies keep their cap table data on a spreadsheet, which might work – up to a point (provided the file doesn't only reside on a single laptop that accidently gets left in a cab). But as you grow and the data becomes more complex, it is worth considering a transfer agent with rigorous security protocols, data protection measures, disaster recovery and business continuity plans as well as legal and compliance support.
Set the stage for your company's growth. A transfer agent can help in the long term with important corporate transactions such as DTC eligibility, initial public offerings, subscriptions, tender offers and acquisitions.
Investor communications
Keep your investors engaged and informed. As your list of investors grows it becomes more important to keep the lines of communications open, but more time consuming and complex to do so. A transfer agent can:
- Manage communications via email and mail
- Offer your investors a way to proactively look at their holdings and find important company documents on their own via desktop, tablet or smartphone
- Allow investors to make inquiries via a toll free call center line or live chat
- Coordinate an annual or special shareholder meeting, either in person or via an online virtual meeting and distribute the voting materials and collecting/tabulating votes from investors by mail or online
A host of other communications to investors can be managed by a transfer agent and documents can be maintained online for holders to access later.
Your company is growing and you have more investors to look after. Don't take the burden of investor recordkeeping and communication on your own. Let an experienced transfer agent handle it for you so you can focus your efforts on running your business and rest assured knowing that as your transfer agent is protecting you from making a costly mistake.

Hello my lovely friends 💕 How very lovely of you to peek in!
Do you need a little crossbody bag? For just the bare necessities, like phone, keys, lipstick? 😊
Then I'd like to invite you to a quick and easy crochet-along! 😀
I need mine for the daily walks I take with my dogs. In cooler temperatures there is no lack of 'storage room'….I only buy jackets with big pockets. 😁 But now that it's getting warmer out there I found myself in a bit of a pickle. Pants pockets just won't do it.
Sound familiar? Well, then grab some yarn and a crochet hook, and let's do this! 🤓
1. Start by crocheting 2 'Granny Squares'.
*A little tip – since you're making a bag that's gotta be somewhat sturdy, you wanna use a smaller size hook than the instructions recommend
The upper border is a few rows of 'Tunisian' (Afghan) Stitch.
That stitch is new to me, but once you get in the rhythm, it's a very pretty and fast stitch…maybe my favorite right now. 😍
Plus I finally know what this 'Hook on steroids' is for! 😂 It was in a bundle of knitting needles I picked up at a Thrift Store, and I've been wondering about it since.
I've practiced working with it, and I must say it's a bit hard on the wrist. So, if the stitch count allows just use a regular plain hook. 😊
2. Okay….back to the 'Tunesian Stitch'. Pick up stitches on one side of your square.
*When you come to the space, pick up the one stitch to the left and right, but place only one stitch into the space….oh, gee – I hope this makes sense. If not, please let me know! 😊
3. Turn your work around, insert your hook into the 2nd stitch from the hook…yarn over, pull backwards and leave the loop on the hook = 2 loops. Repeat to the end of the row.
Don't forget the very last one! 🤓
4. Now…don't turn your work!
Pull the yarn through the first loop, like a chain stitch
…then pull the yarn through 2 loops – the 'active' and the next one.
Keep going, combining 2 loops until there's only one left.
5. Now place your hook under the second vertical bar, hook and pull the yarn through.
Leave the loop on the hook and continue on like before. The last stitch goes into the very last vertical bar.
And again….yarn through first loop, then continuously through 2.
There you perfected the 'Tunesian (Afghan) stitch. 🤗
If you – at any point- have problems, questions because the instructions are not clear, please leave me a comment or send me a message. I wasted a lot of time, because the first few patterns I came across were not very clear. On a happy note…. I might have created a new stitch 😂😂😂
But here's what it's supposed to look like
6. Now it's time to stitch the two pieces together. There I can recommend 2 ways. Each one is fast and easy
First one is crocheted….
Just go around three sides, picking up both loops of the stitch, and working a single crochet.
For the second method you'll need a large tapestry needle, 'cause we're gonna sew. 😋
This is my favorite way to go because the seams lay nice and flat.
Just thread the needle, pick up the second chain stitch of the corner square, pull the thread taut, insert your needle into the top loop of the stitch below, and keep going. Remember….only one loop, and always work from right to left. 😊
7. Almost done 😁
Work a crabstitch around the top to even out the edge (Granny Square edges can be a bit messy…or is it just me? 🙈)
8. Now the strap. Again I have two suggestions
The first one is the fast shortcut 😏 Another bonus is the comfort. If you're not too keen on wearing wooly stuff on your skin in the middle of summer 🌞 just sew 2 rings into the seam and you can attach the strap from another purse as needed.
Or, if you like it all wooly, crochet the strap right onto the purse
I picked up six 'vertical bars' ( just like you did before) and started working the tunesian stitch.
Keep going until you reach your desired length, crochet it in place…..and you're
DONE! 😀 What do you think? Like it? 😍
If you make one please share your pictures with us 😀
And again, if you have any questions anywhere during your project, please don't hesitate to ask! I'm just one message away! 🤓
I hope you come back for *New~Stitch~Sunday' 😎
Until then 💕
~Tina xoxo

Finally some good news for all of the MoviePass members out there.
The cinema subscription club is bringing back its most popular flagship program known as its movie-a-day subscription package.
When the company first introduced the concept of a $10 per month plan that allowed users to see one movie per day, critics were quick to point out its financial issues. Currently, the price of just one movie ticket hovers around or above the $10 mark depending on where you live, so of course, the entertainment industry wasn't pleased with the idea. Add to that the head-scratching problem of how MoviePass proposed to stay afloat by offering such a staggering discount to customers while paying full-price to the theaters it partners with, and it seemed like the offer of a movie-a-day for just $10 a month was too good to be true.
And for a while, it was.
Since April 13, MoviePass has only been offering a $29.95 three-month plan with a free iHeart Radio streaming subscription thrown in. The company's headline-making movie-per-day package disappeared from its website and MoviePass CEO Mitch Lowe seemed to hint that members wouldn't see it again in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter. Apparently, that was all a ruse.
What are you waiting for? Unlimited movies in theaters for $9.95 a month is BACK. Any theater. Any movie. Any day. https://t.co/xaxrui70j9 pic.twitter.com/liCh10ssJW— MoviePass (@MoviePass) May 2, 2018
"We never planned to abandon the flagship product that everybody loves," Lowe told Variety. "Any time we've done a promotional package, we've taken the monthly plan off our site."
Lowe explained that the company removed their original subscription plan to entice users to sign up for their promotional iHeart Radio deal. Nonetheless, that still doesn't quell the growing suspicion that MoviePass is basically hemorrhaging money and has no way to sustain such a low-cost model moving forward, especially as theater ticket prices continue to skyrocket.
Add to that the issues of fraud the company is trying to combat and things still don't look promising. This month, MoviePass announced that it would no longer allow members repeat viewings of films right as the biggest box office performer, Avengers: Infinity Wars, was set to release. In a statement, Lowe explained the decision saying families were purchasing one card per member and some people were even trying to sell their MoviePass subscriptions at a profit.
Basically, what all of this means is that if you've been considering a MoviePass subscription, now's probably the time to sign up before everything changes yet again.
