A RAGING fire swept through a tyre yard forcing firefighters to close surrounding streets.
The blaze started at the tyre storage compound on Sandfold Lane, Gorton, behind FE Jones Builders and the Southside Motor Company, at about 11.30pm last Thursday.
Flames quickly engulfed the compound, prompting fire crews first at the scene to call for help, while shutting off stretches of Mount Street, Cranmere Avenue and Stockport Road.
Station officer Tony O'Keeffe, from Gorton station, said: "When we arrived the fire was developing and spreading rapidly. Due to the severity of the blaze we needed to call for back up. It was very hard to get to the seat of the fire due to the tremendous heat and toxic smoke. It could have been a lot worse but we managed to stop the fire spreading to nearby commercial units and the car showroom."
It is believed more than 250,000 tyres were at the site, in some places stacked as high as 40 to 50ft. More than 80 firefighters from 12 engines battled for three hours to bring the blaze under control and were still damping down the flames the following week.
Leading officer Jeff Gill, based at Philips Park station, arrived in the early hours of Friday morning and feared at one point that gas cylinders could be beneath the smouldering piles of rubber.
He said: "We heard a couple of minor pops and found a cylinder that at one stage we believed could contain acetylene. We didn't know what was in there, but discovered it wasn't acetylene after further investigations."
Officer Gill said acetylene is extremely unstable and could go off at any time. "It's like a bomb. Had it been acetylene, we would have carried out a risk assessment and set up an exclusion zone, considering the evacuation of nearby residents and schools. I am happy now there is nothing sinister at the site," he added.
He said hydraulic platforms were used so firemen could shower the blaze from above and United Utilities engineers were called out to boost the water supply. By the start of this week, the surface of the smouldering tyres had become encrusted and teams from the environment agency moved in to break the melted rubber up.
It is believed youths in the area have hampered the situation by slashing the hoses that run along the streets to the scene and police are now regularly carrying out patrols. It is not yet known how the fire started but a full investigation is underway.

summer tapenade
As days get longer and the summer approaches, not fast enough may I add, we start longing for relaxed alfresco eating ideas. What better than to look at classic Mediterranean dips and starters? One of my favourites from childhood summers spent on the French Riviera is Tapenade. It's so simple to make...
200g pitted black olives
5 fillets anchovies
50g sundried tomatoes
1 clove of garlic, crushed
juice of 1/2 lemon
olive oil
black pepper
In a food processor bowl, add sundried tomatoes and garlic and pulse until broken down
Add olives and anchovies and blitz until you reach a paste
Add the lemon juice and process some more
At this point it is a question of texture preference as to how much olive oil you add to reach a coarse or smooth tapenade result
Pepper to taste
the health boost tip
Tapenade is traditionally served as a dip, either for starters or to accompany pre-dinner drinks, spread on little grilled toasts or croutons. However, it is a delicious and tasty topping for grilled fish or chicken alike. For those of you partial to a nice bowl of pasta it is a great alternative to pesto.
Now I'll let you in on a great little South of France barbecue tradition of ours; we love making summer veggie tarts... and tapenade is amazing spread over the base before adding your vegetables. But that's a whole new recipe for later!

BEIJING, July 26 -- China's central government plans to issue rules for the "cleanup" of local government financing vehicles, the Shanghai Securities News reported, without saying where it got the information.
The National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, the People's Bank of China and the China Banking Regulatory Commission plan to jointly issue the rules, the Shanghai-based newspaper reported. Local governments will have to submit reports by the end of this year on how they've strengthened management of their finacing vehicles, according to the report.
Financing vehicles that rely on fiscal government funds to repay loans will no longer be allowed to borrow, the newspaper reported. Local rail transport projects will be allowed to continue borrowing, according to the report.

SQ flash flood
Crashing Waters (Su)
Once per day, a floodslain creature can instinctively summon a spectral echo of the rushing waters that created it. This mass of phantom water slams the floodslain creature from behind, carrying it forward at up to three times its normal speed and enabling it to charge a single target. These waters also impact all creatures near the end of the floodslain creature's movement, pushing them back. This acts as a bull rush; the floodslain creature attempts a single combat maneuver check against the CMD of each creature within 10 feet of the end of its charge. This bull rush attempt doesn't provoke attacks of opportunity.
Create Spawn (Su)
Any creature killed by a floodslain creature rises as a floodslain creature if it's left immersed in water for 24 hours. These spawn aren't under the control of their creators.
Drowning Touch (Su)
The slam attack of a floodslain creature partially fills a living victim's lungs with water. The victim must succeed at a Fortitude saving throw in order to cough up this water or become fatigued for 1d4 rounds. A fatigued creature that fails this save becomes exhausted instead. An exhausted creature that fails this save is staggered and falls to 0 hp. A creature at 0 hp that fails this save drops to –1 hp and begins dying. A creature killed in this fashion appears to have drowned.
Flash Flood (Su)
A floodslain creature is constantly surrounded by an echo of the disaster that originally took its life. Water streams from the floodslain creature's body, forming a 30-foot-radius pool that renders the ground in that area slick and muddy and increases the DCs of Acrobatics checks made in the area by 5.
Panic (Su)
The dead eyes of a floodslain creature are frozen with shock and fear. The floodslain creature can induce fear in a living victim as a standard action. Targets must succeed at a Will saving throw or become shaken for 1d6 rounds. A creature can be affected by the same floodslain creature's panic attack only once every 24 hours.
Environment any plains
Organization solitary or pair
Treasure none
When snowmelt floods it causes flash floods. Those who drown in the turbulent waters often rise as floodslain and spread the misery and death that created them.
Collectively known as "the after-storm" by natives, floodslain are victims of flash floods that have risen as undead. They're creatures of panic and despair, driven by anger, fear, and a yearning to drag others into the waters.
Long after the floodwaters recede, floodslain continue spreading the miserable death that claimed them.
Floodslain are similar in appearance to their original living forms, and are recognizable even in their water-logged state. Many were gruesomely damaged by the floods that took their lives, though, their bodies battered and broken by rushing water and debris. The one feature common among all floodslain is wild, panicked eyes—a telltale sign of a death mired in shock and fear. Floodslain tend to drift toward lower ground, as if seeking the very water that transformed them. While this habitual migration makes them a contained threat in some areas, flat floodplains offer little resistance to the wandering undead. They can be found floating in major rivers, trapped in ravines and valleys, and staggering across flatlands, sometimes in large numbers. Floodslain that come close to living creatures try to drown them, and relentlessly follow those who flee. Targets who escape often draw the attention of yet more floodslain, eventually leading the undead to their homes. In great numbers, floodslain can slaughter small settlements.
While many find the possibility of undead born from purely natural disasters to be disturbing in and of itself, theories from druids and scholars hold even more chilling implications.

A Time for Wisdom
On Sunday, I encouraged everyone to read Ecclesiates 7. It has some great advice.
Want to know if the way you smell will affect your reputation?
A good reputation is more valuable than costly perfume.
And the day you die is better than the day you are born. (v.1, NLT)
Should you go to the wedding or the funeral?
Better to spend your time at funerals than at parties.
After all, everyone dies—so the living should take this to heart. (v.2, NLT)
When you hear that bad joke and you want to know if you should laugh or cry?
Crying is better than laughing.
It blotches the face but it scours the heart.
Sages invest themselves in hurt and grieving.
Fools waste their lives in fun and games. (v.3-4, The Message)
When you struggle with criticism from a teacher…
Better to be criticized by a wise person
than to be praised by a fool. (v.5, NLT)
The giggles of fools are like the crackling of twigs
Under the cooking pot. And like smoke. (v.6, The Message)
When you realize you could charge more than you should?
Extortion turns wise people into fools,
and bribes corrupt the heart. (v.7, NLT)
When you wonder if you should finish what you started…
Endings are better than beginnings.
Sticking to it is better than standing out. (v.8, The Message)
When you feel yourself start of get angry…
Don't be quick to fly off the handle.
Anger boomerangs. You can spot a fool by the lumps on his head. (v.9, The Message)
And About those good old days…
Don't long for "the good old days."
This is not wise. (v.10, NLT)
You want some advice when you wonder why bad things happen to good people?
Enjoy prosperity while you can,
but when hard times strike, realize that both come from God.
Remember that nothing is certain in this life. (v. 14, NLT)
Want to know what to do during an election when there are two sides with very different opinions?
It's best to stay in touch with both sides of an issue. A person who fears God deals responsibly with all of reality, not just a piece of it. (v.18, The Message)
Take some time this week to read Ecclesiates 7 in several different translations. And wander into the chapters before and after. There's some great wisdom throughout this book. You might even get to that wise passage in chapter 3 and be reminded of that classic hit by The Byrds:
To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time to every purpose, under heaven

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the presence and extent of hypoxia in retinoblastoma tumors and the feasibility of targeting hypoxic cells as a novel therapeutic strategy. To this aim, hypoxic cells were labeled by immunohistochemistry and tumor control was assessed by using combination therapy of Carboplatin, a chemotherapeutic agent, and 2-Deoxy-d-Glucose (2-DG), a glycolytic inhibitor.
The study protocol was approved by the University of Miami, IACUC. All experiments were conducted in accordance with the ARVO Statement for the Use of Animals in Ophthalmic and Vision Research. Twenty four LHBetaTAG transgenic retinoblastoma mice were evaluated. Two 16-week-old LHBetaTAG mice received 60mg/kg of pimonidazole (10mg/ml) via tail vein injection. One 16-week LHBetaTAG wildtype mouse served as control receiving the same treatment. The animals were euthanized 2 hours post injection and eyes were harvested for histopathologic examination. Hypoxic areas were measured using immunohistochemistry. Twenty-one, 10-week-old LHBetaTAG mice were divided into 3 groups and received periocular injections of (a) saline, (b) carboplatin (31.25ug/20ul, subtherapeutic dose), and (c) carboplatin (31.25ug/20ul )+ 2-DG (500 mg/kg). Treatment was administered five times a week for 3 weeks via periocular injection to right eyes only. Eyes were enucleated at 16 weeks of age, stained with H&E and histopathologically examined for residual tumor volume.
Retinoblastoma tumors exhibited variable hypoxic areas. Large tumors exhibited definite hypoxic areas, while medium size tumors did not. Subtherapeutic carboplatin dosing did not have an effect in controlling tumor burden. Furthermore, 2-DG as adjuvant to carboplatin did not result in a significant reduction in tumor size. Conjunctival fibrosis was observed in the carboplatin + 2-DG combination group.
Regional hypoxia is present in large transgenic murine retinoblastoma tumors. The treatment of these eye tumors with both the glycolytic inhibitor 2-DG and carboplatin did not result in a significant reduction in tumor growth at the doses used. It is possible that treating advanced disease will result in enhanced tumor control since hypoxia was detected at this stage. Treatment of glycolytic inhibitors as adjuvants to vessel targeting has potential as a strategy to eliminate hypoxic regions while enhancing vascular targeting. This approach may have benefits for children with this disease and should be further investigated

Los Angeles: TV actor Chris Pratt has filed for divorce from actress Anna Faris. According to tmz.com, Pratt filed legal documents on Friday to end his 8-year marriage, citing irreconcilable differences.
Faris filed her response to the divorce at exactly the same time and the two documents are similar.
They are both asking for joint custody of 5-year-old Jack and have listed July 13 as the date of separation.
They issued a statement on August 6 announcing their separation.
Also, sources connected to two told tmz.com that the divorce is "totally amicable."
Chris and Anna ended their 8-year-old marriage on Friday due to their compatibility issues. Few months ago, in a public statement, Chris said, "Anna and I are sad to announce we are legally separating. We tried hard for a long time, and we're really disappointed,"
He further said, "Our son has two parents who love him very much and for his sake we want to keep this situation as private as possible moving forward. We still have love for each other, will always cherish our time together and continue to have the deepest respect for one another."
Chris Pratt and Anna Faris met on the sets of 'Take Me Home Tonight'. Chris has worked in popular movies like 'Passengers', 'Guardians of Galaxy', 'Jurassic World', 'Zero Dark Thirty', 'Bride Wars'.

Good Afternoon,
a while back I did a small project with a few WS2812 led strips, the OctoWS2811 board and a IR-Remote.
All the animations were "rendered" on the Teensy and I could control the animation a bit by changing some variables over the IR-Remote. (like speed and color change rate)
Now for another project I would like to use an inexpensive light controller like the Cameo Control 6 instead of the IR-Remote to control the animations.
In my understanding these controllers are just a bunch of potentiometers which signals are bundled and sent out thorugh the DMX cable/protocol.
All I like to do is to read out the value of each of the six potentiometers and represent them in a variable inside my sketch.
I googled a few hours and I found plenty of information on DMX receivers but I could not find an easy solution.
I read here on the forum that Ward has done a pretty good DMX receiver library on the following thread:
When I have a look at the code it seems that the Arduino would receive the data over the serial interface.
My questions now:
- Is there an adapter board for a teensy 3.6 where I can plug in the DMX cable and get the serial output onto my teensy?
- Will this library somehow interfere with the OctoWS2811 library? (interrupts etc.) The timing on the WS2812 strips seems to be tight .
- Is there an easier way to get access to the potentiometer values on the DMX controller?
o I already thought of take the controller apart and hard wire the potentiometers directly to the teensy, but that would be a mess.
- Do I miss something here? Normally I am able to google the things up for myself but that DMX stuff just seems like not wanting to go into my head ):
Thanks a lot and kind regards

Treatment for genital warts depends on the type of warts you have and where they are located. You do not need treatment if there are no visible warts. There are two main types of treatment for genital warts:
applying a cream, lotion or chemical to the warts (topical treatment)
destroying the tissue of the warts by freezing, heating or removing them (physical ablation)
Most topical treatments tend to work better on softer warts, and physical ablation tends to work better on harder and rougher-feeling warts. Sometimes, a combination of topical treatments is recommended. For some people, treatment can take several months to remove the warts. You may be advised to avoid perfumed soap, bath bubbles or lotions while you are having treatment for warts as these can sometimes irritate the skin.
Topical treatment
There are several topical treatments that can be used to treat genital warts. Some creams can weaken latex condoms, diaphragms and caps. Remember to check this with your doctor before you start using these. Topical treatments are described below.
Podophyllotoxin – Podophyllotoxin is usually recommended to treat clusters of small warts. It comes in liquid form and works by having a toxic (poisonous) effect on the cells of the warts.You may experience some mild irritation when you apply the liquid or cream to the wart. Cream is usually advised for areas where applying liquid is difficult. Podophyllotoxin should not be used if you are pregnant.
Imiquimod – Imiquimod is a type of cream usually recommended to treat larger warts. It works by helping stimulate your immune system into attacking the warts. It can often take several weeks of treatment before you notice an improvement in your warts. Imiquimod is not usually used if you are pregnant.
Trichloroacetic acid – Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) may be recommended to treat small warts that are very hard. It works by destroying the proteins inside the cells of the wart. But if it is not applied correctly, TCA can damage healthy skin. TCA is thought to be safe to use during pregnancy.
Physical ablation
There are four main methods used in the physical ablation of genital warts. They are:
laser surgery
These treatments are performed by a trained doctor.
Cryotherapy involves freezing the wart using liquid nitrogen and is usually recommended to treat multiple small warts, particularly those that develop on the shaft of the penis or on, or near, the vulva. During cryotherapy treatment, you will experience a mild to moderate burning sensation. Once the treatment has finished you may develop skin irritation, blistering and pain at the site of the wart. Your skin will take between one and three weeks to heal. Avoid having sex until the area of skin around the wart has fully healed.
Excision, where warts are cut away, is sometimes recommended to treat small hardened warts, particularly where this is a combination of smaller warts that have joined together to form a sort of cauliflower shape. At the start of the procedure, you will be given a local anesthetic to numb the area of skin around the wart. The wart will then be cut away with a surgical scalpel and the remaining incision sealed with stitches. Excision can cause scarring, so it may not be suitable for very large warts. The area of skin where the wart was removed will be sore and tender for around one to three weeks. You should avoid having sex until the area of skin around the wart has fully healed.
Electrosurgery is a specialist treatment. It is often combined with excision to treat large warts that develop around the anus or vulva that have failed to respond to topical treatments. Excision is first used to remove the outer bulk of the wart. A metal loop is then pressed against the wart. An electric current is passed through the loop to burn away the remaining part of the wart. Removing a large number of warts in this way can be quite painful, so you may be given a regional anesthetic (where everything below your spine is numbed, similar to an epidural during pregnancy) or even a general anesthetic.
Laser surgery
Laser surgery is also a specialist treatment. It may be recommended to treat large genital warts that cannot be treated using other methods of physical ablation because they are difficult to access, such as warts deep inside your anus or urethra (the tube that connects the bladder to the penis or vulva, which urine passes through). During the procedure, a surgeon will use a laser to burn away the warts. Depending on the number and size of the warts, laser surgery can be performed under either a local or general anesthetic.
As with other types of ablation treatment, you should expect soreness and irritation at the site where the warts were removed. This should heal within two to four weeks.
Genital warts and sex
It is recommended you do not have sex, including anal and oral sex, until your genital warts have fully healed. This will help prevent you passing the infection on to others. It will also help your recovery, as the skin friction that occurs during sex can cause treated skin to become irritated and inflamed.
Even after the warts have gone, there may still be traces of human papillomavirus (HPV) in your skin cells. It is therefore recommended you use a condom during sex for the first three months after the warts have cleared up.
For reasons that are still unclear, many treatments discussed on this page are more effective in non-smokers than in smokers. If you are a smoker, quitting smoking may help speed up the healing process after treatment for genital warts. Quitting smoking will also bring a range of other important health benefits, such as significantly reducing your risk of developing lung cancer and heart disease.

Gdańsk shipyard workers resemble "Aurora" sailors. They fought the communism and they are heroes but at the same time they hardly make both ends meet. They are recalled usually around public special events like 25th anniversary of Solidarity. In 1980, the day the strike began there were about 16,500 workers building 16 ships a year. On the day I entered Shipyard's gates for the first time there were only 3000 employees who could hardly launch 3 ships a year. Since that day I've been documenting this place, its industry, people, atmosphere but most of all its disappearance. My work "Workers 1980-2005" shows shipyard employees who have been working in the shipyard since 1970's. 25 years after the strikes in Gdansk I found them still building ships. The pictures were published in Przekroj magazine.
Stanisław Kamiński, age 52, the one and only diver in the shipyard since 1970's.
Jan Kaczor - age 55, a railwayman, his father was one of the workers who was burnt alive during the fire of Maria Konopnicka ship in 1961.
Ludwik Prądzyński - age 49, a locksmith, one of the leaders of the strike in 1980 and the only leader who still works in the shipyard.
Zigniew Stefanski - age 52, a painter, the only one who hasn't left the Solidarity.
Aleksandra Olszewska, age 78, works in a kiosk with souvenirs and volunatarily looks after the historical gate of the shipyard.

John 13: Jesus Washes the Disciples Feet
1Now(A) before(B) the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that(C) his hour had come(D) to depart out of this world to the Father,(E) having loved(F) his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 2During supper, when(G) the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him, 3Jesus, knowing(H) that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that(I) he had come from God and(J) was going back to God, 4rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel,(K) tied it around his waist. 5Then he(L) poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. 6He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, do you wash my feet?" 7(M)"What I am doing(N) you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand." 8(O) Peter said to him, "You shall never wash my feet." Jesus answered him, (P) "If I do not wash you, you have no share with me." 9Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!" 10Jesus said to him, "The one who has bathed does not need to wash,(Q) except for his feet,[a] but is completely clean. And(R) you[b] are clean,(S) but not every one of you." 11(T) For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, "Not all of you are clean." Jesus answered him,
12When he had washed their feet and(U) put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, (V) "Do you understand what I have done to you? 13(W) You call me(X) Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. 14If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet,(Y) you also ought to wash one another's feet. 15For I have given you an example,(Z) that you also should do just as I have done to you. 16Truly, truly, I say to you,(AA) a servant[c] is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17If you know these things,(AB) blessed are you if you do them. 18(AC) I am not speaking of all of you; I know(AD) whom I have chosen. But(AE) the Scripture will be fulfilled,[d](AF) 'He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.'19(AG) I am telling you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he. 20Truly, truly, I say to you,(AH) whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me."
In my Lenten devotional I've been reading this passage for the last few days. Honestly it's just one of those that you read and it just kind of washes over you because you've heard the story so much (think Jonah and the whale or Noah). Today when I read it, though, it just kind of hit me: Jesus washed Judas' feet. I've always read this story and just thought, yep I need to be more of a servant, I need to do this or that, I need to change the way I respond to others etc, etc etc.
But the thing is, Jesus knowingly washed the feet of someone who was about the walk out the door and do something horrible. Because of what Christ did for me, it's not hard for me to imagine he would stoop so low as to wash the feet of the disciples. But what I started thinking about today was: what was Judas thinking while this was happening? Did he sit there all puffed up with bitterness thinking "this is precisely why I turned him in…look at this man!" or was this a moment where he truly realized what he was doing?
When God gives me things or takes away or doesn't give me what I pray for; when He lowers himself for my good, what is my response? I'm so much closer to Judas in that room than Peter. Peter just calls Jesus out on His act of service (see verse 6). But Judas, he betrays Jesus not only by letting Him wash his feet, but by getting up and walking away. I so often in my life see Jesus moving so gently and mercifully in my life (whether I like it or not) and then I just get up and walk away just to betray Him further. Ah, but how sweet is the mercy and grace of Jesus. No matter how many times I walk away he always welcomes me back into loving arms.
Lord Jesus, have mercy on me a sinner. One who knowingly sees you washing over me with love and then stomping away in betrayal.

The difference between a G-string and a thong is that a thong has a wider band. A thong is believed to be sturdier than a G-string.
The terms "G-string" and "thong" are often used interchangeably. They are both considered to be pieces of lingerie. A G-string is used to serve as a cover and a way to give support for someone's genitals. It has a piece of cloth between the buttocks called a band and it is connected to a band that fits around the hips. The thong's band is usually one or two inches wider than the G-string band. The G-string band has the appearance of a string.

Blistered Shishito Peppers with Garlic Tahini Dipping Sauce
Time: 15 minutes | Yield: 2 servings
- 2 tablespoons Earth Balance butter
- 8 ounces shishito peppers (about 6 cups)
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Go Veggie Vegan Parmesan
- Sea salt
- 1/4 cup sesame tahini
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Hot water
Preheat the broiler with an oven rack set about 4 inches from the heat source. Have a large mixing bowl ready.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until light brown specks start to form and the butter starts to smell nutty, swirling the pan occasionally, about 5 minutes. Pour immediately into the mixing bowl, being sure to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
Spread the shishito peppers in a single layer on a baking sheet. Broil the peppers until lightly blistered and just starting to soften, shaking the baking sheet occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes.
To make the sauce, add sesame tahini to a bowl with garlic powder and thin with hot water until you reach a good "dipping" consistency. Add salt to taste.
Transfer the hot peppers to the bowl with the browned butter. Lightly toss with the lemon juice, cheese and a sprinkle of salt. Serve with dipping sauce.

Crispy Broccoli Tots
Even though we didn't have them too much in our home when I was growing up, I used to love eating tater tots- the pre-made ones from a package, dipped in tons of ketchup. They also served them at school as a "healthy" side, which I don't think they were all that healthy when I look back on it- but the school considered it as a vegetable somehow.
Anyways, I saw these floating around on a few different blogs and I have been meaning to make them for so long. I adapted the recipe from GimmieDelicious and I couldn't believe how good they were. Granted, I do love broccoli, but I wasn't sure how these were going to turn out, but - they were full of flavor, crispy, and surprisingly filling after a handful. They do require a little labor or love, but it was worth it because I made enough to last the entire week.
Once you get past the prep work, they take less than 30 minutes to bake in the oven! You can dip them in ketchup, cream cheese, ranch, or anything you prefer! I would definitely give these a try even if you aren't a huge broccoli lover, the taste isn't overpowering especially when you use all of your favorite seasonings- I did a mixture of sea salt, pepper, turmeric, cayenne pepper, shredded cashew cheese (or nutritional yeast), and breadcrumbs! For the breadcrumbs I used a mixture of panko crumbs and almond flour. You can either use all breadcrumbs or a combination or breadcrumbs and panko; if you do not have any flour on hand. I haven't tried any other flour, but I assume it will work! IF you do not have any breadcrumbs on hand, you can make your own by taking your favorite crackers and pulsing them into a fine powder in your food processor. You do need to use an egg for this recipe and I haven't tested it with a chia egg, so I am not sure how it would hold up!
Before you get started you need to boil the broccoli for 2 minutes, once they are drained of all liquid, you chop into smaller pieces. You can use your food processor to make it into a "broccoli rice" and save some time on chopping, but you want to make sure it doesn't become a pure. I would suggest only pulsing the broccoli a few times.
Once the broccoli is finely chopped, you mix it in a large mixing bowl with all of the ingredients; form into 2 tbsp. sized balls and shape them into tots! They are baked in the oven at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes, rotating them once about half way through! I used about 4 smaller heads of broccoli, which was about 4 + cups of broccoli and it turned out to me about 20 tots. After they were finished in the oven, we dipped them in ranch and dairy free cream cheese! They will keep for up to a week in the fridge; to re-heat simply place them in the oven at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes or under the broiler on high for less than 5 minutes.
Appetizer / Snack
Yields: 20+ bites
Prep time: 15 minutes
Bake time: 30 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
4 smaller heads of broccoli (or about 4 cups chopped finely)
1/3 cup almond flour
1/3 cup panko crumbs (or bread crumbs of choice)
1/2 cup shredded cheese (I used shredded cashew cheese, but nutritional yeast works too!)
2 eggs
1 tsp. sea salt
1-2 tsp. pepper
few dashes of turmeric (optional)
few dashes of cayenne pepper (optional)
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large pot, boil about 5 cups of water, enough so the broccoli is submerged. While the water is heating, cut the stems off of the broccoli and add into the pot. Steam the broccoli for 2 minutes. Drain well.
Chop the broccoli into fine pieces, almost so it resembles broccoli rice. If you are using your food processor, see above.
In a large mixing bowl, add ALL of the ingredients above and the chopped broccoli.
Mix well, until fully combined.
Using your hands, roll into balls using about 2 tbsp. of the mixture. Then, form the mixture into "tots" / rectangular shapes.
Place on the baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes. Rotate/flip about halfway through! The bites will be crispy on the outside and tender in the middle! Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

In Rafinha Inter have signed a Barcelona reserve, says Cambiasso
Inter Milan have announced the loan signing of Barcelona midfielder Rafinha until the end of the season, with a view to a permanent move.
He has agreed a move to San Siro until 30 June 2018, when Inter can buy the player for a fee of 35million euros (£31million) plus add-ons.
The 24-year-old has struggled to cement his place in the Barca team since making his debut in November 2011.

Rafinha has recently recovered from a knee injury he sustained in April, playing 12 minutes in his first match of the season in the 1-0 Copa del Rey defeat at Espanyol last week.
The signing has not gone down too well with former midfielder Esteban Cambiasso, who spent 10 years at Inter, who told Sky Sport Italia: "With Rafinha, it must be said that Inter are bringing in a Barcelona reserve.
"Therefore, an interesting player has arrived, but (Barca) have only given him to them because he's not been playing. That's the truth."

we got an extra long summer in 2015. we ended in may back in az and seattle doesn't start until september. the teachers ended up on strike so we got an extra 9 days of summer. we'll make up for them over the school year and will have a shorter summer this year. we walked by the school when all the teachers were marching out front. elle's teacher spotted us from across the road and yelled out elle. we ran over to chat with her. elle thought it was so great she saw her new teacher. thankfully everything got sorted out and we started school. the kids have really enjoyed their new school. they've made friends and all the families are really great.
the first year we've ever worn winter clothes to school. we live close enough to walk to school. we've never been able to do that. it feels really nice to have that time to talk about their day with no interruptions. for some reason they start fighting in the car. the walk home is always enjoyable.
i snapped a quick pic and sent this to my sister. this was for elle's kindergarten class. read the last line -no weapons. i know this isn't a joking matter and its very serious but i didn't get that on my older kids homework. really, kindergarteners?? coming from the suburbs already worrying about raising kids in the city i saw this and was like what??? well i can now say with confidence these are the same sweet kindergarteners i saw living back in the 3rd safest city in the country.
the girls started ballet. they are so sweet together. ava gets to help in elle's class and she loves that. i took them to the nutcracker this year and we had a really great time. the production amazing and the dancing so beautiful.
henri finished an entire soccer season. i felt like shouting from the roof tops "he did it" he's never ever finished a season. two games in his asthma flares and he's done. this year nothing! not a cough a sneeze or wheeze, nothing. i imagine if we had always lived here he wouldn't have asthma. i want to tell all asthma sufferers if you suffer from environmental allergies and asthma (not mold, if you suffer from mold allergies this is the last place you want to live. az might be the place for you) move to seattle! your life with drastically improve. you will be able to breathe without an inhaler or steroids. i feel beyond blessed to have been able to pick up our family and make this transition. it hasn't been easy, most days ava dreams about moving back home. but it was so worth it.

Weighted products are perfect for children who need some sensory input. They can help calm a child down, and they can even improve a child's focus. Focus is probably the biggest hurdle we face in our homeschool because of Grasshopper's ADHD. We've experienced success with weighted techniques through occupational therapy. Turns out weighted sensory input is something that Grasshopper benefits from.
We recently ordered a weighted blanket to help him calm down to fall asleep, but I also wanted something that could sit on his lap during school. Especially during reading and spelling class when his dyslexia means he needs to focus more. So I pulled together some resources from around the house and made one myself!
How to Make Your Own Weighted Lap Friend
First you'll need to round up some supplies. I used a small pillow animal but you could use any type of stuffed animal. I used craft pebbles for the weights. Finally, you'll need a zip lock bag, duct tape, seam ripper, needle and thread.
The first step is to put the desired amount of weight into a zip lock bag. You should check with an occupational therapist or doctor before using weighted products on your children. A general rule of thumb though, is to use enough weight to equal 10% of their body weight. After putting your weights into a ziplock bag, place the bag on the stuffed animal. Fold the bag over to the appropriate size, remove all the air, and duct tape the bag to the appropriate size. If you're using an animal that sits up, you may need to tape the bag into more of a ball shape.
Next, it's time to perform surgery on the stuffed toy. Use your seam ripper to rip out a seam on one side of the toy. Then start pulling out some stuffing. You probably won't need to remove all of it just just take out about half to start with.
Next, it's time to insert the weights! Slide your zip lock bag of weights into the opening. After the weights are inside the toy, you may be able to put some of the stuffing back into the toy. Add back as much stuffing as desired, then push the stuffing and weights around until you have then distributed proportionately throughout the toy.
Finally, it's time to get out your needle and thread to sew the toy back up! This project went rather quickly, I finished in probably about 10 minutes.
Of course, if you're not the do it yourself type, you can always order a weighted animal like this bear or turtle.

Eisenhower Foundation raises money for updates
ABILENE, Kan. (AP) — To mark the 125th year since Dwight D. Eisenhower's birth, a multi-million dollar fundraising campaign has begun to do a better job of telling the story of the nation's 34th president.
Three months ago, the Eisenhower Foundation began raising money to improve the Eisenhower Presidential Museum, Library and Boyhood Home, its website and education programs, The Wichita Eagle (http://bit.ly/1U0ZakX ) reports. The museum is located near Eisenhower's boyhood home in Abilene, a town of about 6,800 residents in north-central Kansas.
"In the last 15 to 20 years there has been more information that has come out about Ike's presidency through our library and because of records becoming declassified," said Meredith Sleichter, executive officer for the Eisenhower Foundation. "These have shaped and evolved his story even more. Our museum needs to be updated so we can get his story up to date."
It's not yet known how much money will need to be raised over the next five years, Sleichter said.
One of the main focuses will be updating museum exhibits to make them more interactive and informative for generations who have never heard of Eisenhower, the Holocaust or even the Cold War. Before becoming president, Eisenhower was the Supreme Allied Commander of World War II forces in Europe who launched the invasion in 1944 that would lead to Germany's surrender less than a year later.
Eisenhower museum officials are anticipating that the museum will close down for about a year in 2018 for renovation. The Eisenhower complex - the library, boyhood home and meditation chapel will remain open with some of the exhibits moving temporarily over to the library.
"We want to create an experience for our guests that incorporates the technology and brings up to a modern standard what museum guests expect today," Sleichter said.
The renovated museum will get a new lighting system and will be brighter, she said.
"A lot of times we will get questioned on why the federal government is not taking care of this," Sleichter said. "While we have a public/private partnership with the National Archives, it structurally keeps the Eisenhower Library in fantastic condition with wonderfully manicured grounds. The buildings are in great condition so our bones are there. But it is up to the Eisenhower Foundation and private donors to take care of exhibits, programs and events."

Date: November 18, 2018
By: Dr. Michael Salla
Corey Goode, producer of the bestselling Above Majestic documentary, released a major updateon November 17 concerning a new insider that he has privately met and vetted. The insider is a retired surgeon with 30 years experience in a major branch of the US military, and used the pseudonym "Bones" after revealing his true identity. Goode says that after he met Bones about a year ago, he subsequently put Bones in touch with his other insider sources, including "Sigmund", another pseudonym used by former senior officer in a USAF run secret space program.
Sigmund first met Goode in early 2016, when he was leading interrogations of Goode's information, which included classified information about the USAF program, which Goode calls the Military Industrial Complex Secret Space Program (MIC-SSP). Sigmund eventually had to go on the run from the Cabal/Deep State after confirming Goode's claims of a far more technologically advanced Navy run space program, Solar Warden. Sigmund eventually began working with the Secret Space Program (SSP) Alliance – a broad alliance of defectors from rival secret space programs and Solar Warden – who rescued him.
According to Goode, Bones passed on two hard drives with numerous digital files to Sigmund revealing details of the "Dark Fleet", which is a German run secret space program that originated out of their hidden Antarctica bases and alliance with a group of Reptilians called Dracos.
After agreements were reached between the Germans and the Eisenhower Administration in the 1950's, the Germans were able to infiltrate all aspects of the US military industrial complex as Goode has previously explained.
After the treaty was signed and the joint Secret Space Programs began in earnest, things quickly got out of hand and the Nazi Break Away group won the race to infiltrate and take over the other side. They soon controlled every aspect of the U.S. from the Financial System, The Military Industrial Complex, and soon after, all three branches of the government itself.

Essentially it has given us an inciting incident, the thing that started the ball rolling. Its also given us more potential heroes, though some we have seen before.

In the terminal, type
Code: Select all

sudo nano grub
Look for the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
Inside those quotes, type

sudo update-grub
Now you have to get a program called xbacklight
In the terminal, type

xbacklight -set 80
You can tie these commands to keyboard shortcuts using the utility called "Keyboard Shortcuts" that is built in to Mint 17.2 MATE.
What you do is press the "Add" button at the bottom of the Keyboard Shortcuts window. Give it a name like "Brightness Up" and then in the command field, type
xbacklight -inc 20%
(I chose 20% arbitrarily; you can do 10% or whatever you want.)
Click "Apply."
Then click the item and press whatever key combo you want to press to change your screen brightness.
Now create another shortcut for Brightness Down with the command
xbacklight -dec 20%
and you're done.
I tied my brightness controls to Shfit-Left and Shift-Right. You could probably even tie them to the original Function-F5 and F6 keys, though I find the arrow keys to be more convenient.

Importance of communication in relationships
"Communication is the key to a healthy relationship". It is a pillar on which every relationship is balanced. Relationships are never stable, but communication has the ability heal every wound. Majority of Jhumpa Lahiri's work is based on the importance of communication and relationships. Her stories are influenced by relationship problems, and the ups and downs one faces in maintaining relationships. Most of the characters, in her stories have been facing a difficulty in communicating their feelings to the opposite ...view middle of the document...
Shukumar and Shobha's relationship is not affected by a secret, but instead a life changing incident. The two have not been able to communicate after they lost their child. All the three couples have been facing problems due to different reasons, but the cure is only one. They are facing problems because of certain situations which can be termed as a barrier to communication.
In majority of her stories, Jhumpa Lahiri indicates the relationship status of a couple through their actions. In the story, "Interpreter of Maladies", we can see that Mrs Das hides behind her sunglasses all the time, and Mr. Das has his nose buried in a guidebook. These actions, show that Mr and Mrs Das have been hiding from each other, ignoring the most important incident in their life which one of them is not even aware of. Years of miscommunication has developed an awkwardness in their relationship where they have accepted the lack of connection between each other. On the other hand, in 'The Temporary matter', Shukumar's life has changed after his child's death. He has become highly irresponsible. He wakes up by lunch time, drinks leftover coffee and works in the kitchen( Lahiri,Jhumpa. The temporary matter. pg 5). Shukumar's actions and his irresponsible behavior signifies the intensity of effect his child's death had had in his life. During the first day of power outage, Shukumar had to think of topics to communicate, to release the awkwardness between him and Shobha. In the story, the narrator says that " They were never like this before. Now he had to struggle to say something that interested her, something that made her look up from her plate, or from her proofreading files". ( Lahiri,Jhumpa. The Temporary matter. pg 12) These lines clearly indicate their inability to communicate.
Mr Kapasi helps the whole world with is multilingual communication skills, but he lacks the ability to communicate with is own wife. Mrs Das finds it easy to communicate her thoughts to Mr Kapasi, but is unable communicate with her husband. Mrs Das mentions that she has not been able to reveal the secret to anybody for eight years, especially not to Raj( Lahiri,Jhumpa. Interpreter of maladies. pg 65). From this comment, we can predict that Mrs Das is guilty, but the inability to communicate is killing her from inside. The inability to communicate is affecting her as well as her relationship, and she will feel peace only after reveling the secret. At the same time, Mr Das does not seem to realize his weak marriage life. He seems too busy in clicking pictures and creating his own imaginary happy family. On the other hand, Shukumar has been feeling guilty for not being able to attend Shobha during her delivery, whereas Shobha is shaken by the incident and...

What Does a Pipeline Leak Mean for Your Investment?
In September, shares of Kinder Morgan Energy Partners sunk on the mere thought that the partnership was skimping on its maintenance capital expenditures.

Mensch Residence
Annapolis, MD
This single-family waterfront home is located in the Annapolis neighborhood of Bay Ridge. The design is a direct response to the site conditions including: Views, Solar Orientation, Prevailing Breezes, and Chesapeake Bay Critical Area requirements. The house is articulated as a series of staggered bars which allow each room to have windows, natural light, and views along multiple walls. A breezeway and open three-story stair create the effect of a solar chimney generating natural ventilation for passive cooling.

Editor's Note: The FIRST STEP Act was signed into law on December 21, 2018.
By Olivia Schoffstall
At the start of this holiday season members of Congress, the White House, and several advocacy organizations gathered to hear President Trump declare his support for a bipartisan criminal justice reform bill.
In doing so, he sent a message long awaited by 180,000 men and women in federal prison: The time for meaningful reform is now.
The bill the president referred to is the FIRST STEP Act, and that is just what it is—a first step toward restoring America's broken criminal justice system.
The FIRST STEP Act would increase the amount of transformative programming—like drug rehabilitation, skills training, faith-based classes, and work programs—federal prisoners can access. Men and women who participate in these programs' opportunities would have the ability to serve shorter sentences through earned- or good-time credits. Many of these restorative programs are offered by faith-based organizations, who are a key partner to the Bureau of Prisons in implementing successful prison reform.
The legislation would also make federal prisons and communities safer through individualized risk assessments. Experienced law-enforcement officers would determine whether a prisoner is a danger and make sure the programs offered are aligned with their needs. In addition, the legislation would address the needs of incarcerated women by enforcing the prohibition of shackling pregnant and laboring mothers who are incarcerated. Overall, the FIRST STEP Act aims to improve public safety by reinvesting the savings from reforms back into local law enforcement efforts and in-prison programming to reduce the likelihood of those who are incarcerated returning to prison.
The House passed the bill with an overwhelming bipartisan vote of 360-59 on May 22. Since the midterm elections, the Senate has introduced an amended version of the bill that incorporates several key sentencing reforms, among other changes. These sentencing reforms are critical to ensuring federal punishments are just and proportional.
If passed, the FIRST STEP Act will help men and women in our federal prisons succeed by better preparing them to hold jobs, participate in our communities as active and contributing members of society, and reunite with their families rather than returning to crime. The bill's provisions would recognize the human dignity in every prisoner and give them ample opportunity to be equipped to re-enter society.
The president announced his support for this bipartisan deal on November 14, stating that he will be "waiting with a pen" to sign this bill into law. However, the FIRST STEP Act still faces some opposition in the Senate. These dissenting voices and the dwindling days left in the legislative session make it difficult, though not impossible, to get the amended bill through both chambers of Congress before the new year. According to Sen. Lindsey Graham (SC), if it doesn't make it through before the new year, the bill will become a "start-over project" that will become significantly more difficult to pass once Democrats take the House in January. Even if this legislation is passed, our nation's criminal justice system will not be fixed overnight. The impact of the criminal justice system isn't limited to court rooms, jails, and prisons—it tangibly affects our families, communities, congregations, and economy every day. Some 70 million Americans—that's 1 in 3—have a criminal record today.
While Congress can and should pass reforms like the FIRST STEP Act to improve our justice system, civil society has a distinct role to play as well. People of faith are called to visit those in prison and welcome citizens returning from prison with open minds and hearts. Returning citizens face a myriad of barriers to their flourishing. There are more than 44,000 documented legal restrictions on people with a conviction today, not to mention the social stigma that comes with having a criminal record. These restrictions vary state by state, but commonly limit or restrict individuals with a criminal record from accessing employment, housing, and their right to vote, among other things.
The Church is uniquely positioned and equipped to serve these returning citizens by welcoming them into their congregations. Additionally, businesses have the opportunity to implement fair-hiring practices that do not automatically preclude the formerly incarcerated from getting a job after they have paid their debt to society.
As Christian citizens, we are called to do our part in advancing fairness, proportionality, and opportunities for flourishing into our criminal justice system—whether we are elected officials or ordinary members of our communities. One way we can do this is by contacting our representatives to voice our support for justice reform. We can also serve and be vocal advocates of returning citizens and their families through the civil society institutions of which we are a part, including our churches, nonprofits, and businesses. The impact of crime and incarceration is far-reaching, but we can all help remove obstacles on the road to restoration.
Olivia Schoffstall is the advocacy operations manager at Prison Fellowship, the nation's largest Christian nonprofit serving prisoners, former prisoners, and their families, and a leading voice for criminal justice reform.

As preceding chapters have shown, over the course of industrialisation in East Asia, as elsewhere in the developed world, agriculture's role in the economy has been transformed. Once the major source of income and employment, the agricultural sectors of Japan, Korea and Taiwan gave up resources to the growing non-agricultural sector until, after remarkably short periods of time by international standards, protection and subsidisation became essential to their survival. At the same time however, within this broadly universal pattern, East Asian agriculture has followed its own path, related both to the region's initial conditions and to the particular characteristics of its industrialisation. Thus it has been within a framework of small-scale, predominantly rice-cultivating, farm households that the agricultural sector has played its part in the development process and sought to adjust to the political economy of the industrialised states that Japan, Korea and Taiwan now are. And meanwhile, of course, differences in their historical circumstances and levels of development, and in their domestic and international political and economic situations, have generated variations in the responses of the farm sector in each individual country.
The pattern of similarity and difference within the overall picture of agricultural transformation in the region is thus a complex one. Nonetheless, since Japan, Taiwan and Korea represent the first countries to industrialise on the basis of agricultural sectors which do not operate, in all respects, with the same sorts of technology, environmental infrastructure and farm organisation as those of the earlier industrialisers of Europe and North America, much could be learnt from any general conclusions that can be drawn from their experience. In what follows, we will attempt to assess how far such conclusions can be drawn, as regards both agriculture's role in industrialisation and the subsequent adjustment problem, and conclude by considering the challenges which East Asian agriculture must face in the globalising and liberalising world of the twenty-first century.

I have battled with depression and anxiety for many years. This last year I started commuting to Madison for work and nothing starts my day better and winds it down more perfectly than a dose of uplifting and positive music from Life 102.5. One song in particular that really speaks to me (once I really focused on the words) is Greater by Mercy Me. There were others that really kicked me around in the past. Then I hear things like "greater is the one living inside of me, than he who is living in the world" and "will not say I'll never be enough." I had to buy a cd because I want to hear this song every day if it's not on the radio. It's like I have become a part of that song and that song has become a part of me.

Our Mission
We have a short growing season in Minnesota. Despite the limitations of climate, more farmers in our community are offering sustainably produced local foods. It's our mission to promote healthy farm ecosystems, awareness of the circular food economy, and our ability to support local organizations doing meaningful work in the food equity space.
We're here to provide you with opportunities to volunteer your time, connect with like-minded individuals, and donate to make an impact and change our food system so that it works for everyone.
"Slow Food unites the pleasure of food with responsibility, sustainability, and harmony with nature."
— Carlo Petrini, Founder Slow Food International
The Slow Food movement began in 1986, when the people of Italy protested against the first McDonald's in Rome. It can be most succinctly described as the opposite of fast food, but it encompasses so much more. The joy of growing, cooking, eating, and sharing food with the responsibility to produce it in harmony with nature and humanity.
We are a chapter in an international Slow Food movement, with organizations on every continent, all working to foster good, clean, fair food for all. We have been working to advance Slow Food in Minnesota since 1999. We hope you'll join us in making the food system work better for everyone in our community.

Rather a long while back, I imposed a rule on myself to not link to Mark Karlin's "Gun Guys" website, because I came to think of that site as one best ignored. It's a rule I've been able, for the most part, to obey. This time, though, I have to commend Karlin–he's managed to outdo even his own usual stupidity, and has posted something idiotic enough that I simply can't resist pointing it out.
Today, he notes the increasing incidence of "gun crime" in China.
The Wall Street Journal posted a story on Oct. 14th about the rise of illegal guns in China.
We can only hope that China, for its own sake and domestic security, clamps down on private gun ownership.
And hence the title of my post. From an utter ban on private gun ownership, how does one "clamp down"? Should even thinking about guns be a thoughtcrime now?
Actually–and I find this especially interesting–the "Gun Guys" claim not to advocate total, outright bans:
We, gun violence prevention advocates, do not and have never sought "banning" all firearms, especially hunting rifles, or completely disarming the populace.
This, from the same site suggesting that China "clamps down on private gun ownership"–when China already has in place the kinds of total bans the "Gun Guys" claim not to seek.
As if lying were not contemptible enough, the "Gun Guys" insist on telling the kinds of stupid lies that show how little respect they have for the intelligence of their target audience.
Finally, the same post also links to this article, with a quote that helps illustrate the lie that the violence in Mexico is due to "weak gun laws" in the U.S.
Recent reports are now suggesting that some of the illegals [sic] guns originating from China are now making their way overseas to places like Mexico.
Obama's old friends don't seem to be getting much for their money.
