For Sammy Kaye, volunteering for the High-5 Basketball recreational program in Boca Raton has become a labor of love.
The 22-year-old first became involved in helping those with disabilities to have fun on the hardwood when he was in high school.
"I did it for community service in my junior and senior years at Saint Andrew's School," said Kaye, who recently graduated from the University of Colorado. "I love working with these kids like this and I appreciate the opportunity that (High-5 founder) Gary (Cohen) gave me to work with them again."
High-5 Basketball enables children and adults with disabilities to participate in the sport. Each player has his or her own 'B-Ball Buddy' who works with that athlete and helps teach the skills of basketball.
High-5 Basketball is part of the Boca Hoops organization.
"I get a pure joy out of it. Taking time out of a Sunday to come out here and help people is a really cool opportunity," Kaye said. "This is something I love to do. I like the people I am doing it with and hopefully I am making them feel good as well."
When Kaye returned from college, he immediately paired up with Boynton Beach 28-year-old Richard Garetano, whom Kaye was buddies with during his high-school days.
"It was unbelievable to see him again," Kaye said. "When I walked in the gym and he realized who I was, his eyes lit up and that was just great. It is awesome to still be able to give him hugs and high-fives when he makes a shot."
Doreen Garetano said her son has Downs Syndrome and has been in the High-5 program for about seven years.
"Richard loves it," Garetano said. "It's wonderful because these kids love to win and these kids all get to win. The one thing that stands out is the positive experience for both the people with disabilities and the people without."
Cohen said he kept in touch with Kaye and invited him back for the High-5 sessions when he returned home. Cohen and his wife Caren started the Sunday program 15 years ago.
There are 80 special-needs athletes — with a wide range of disabilities from autism to Downs Syndrome — 80 middle school and high school volunteers and 16 coaches – half are high-school seniors and the others are athletes.
"To my knowledge, this is the only true recreational basketball league for those with special needs in the country," Cohen said. "We follow a full schedule. We shut the scoreboards off. In season one, when the scoreboards were on, we noticed half the people leaving with sad faces and this is the last place where anybody should feel bad."
The High-5 season runs from September through November, and the teams play approximately 10 games. There are 16 teams in four divisions and the ages range from 9 to 33. There is a waiting list but another facility is in the works that would enable the program to expand.
When the players arrive, they start with a shoot-around and then they perform various drills before playing round-robin games.
"Getting the special-needs population to play sports is a challenge," Cohen said. "The impact on the volunteers is tremendous and I tell them in the B-Ball Buddy meeting before the season that they are going to have the best job in the world and they just don't know it yet. This (program) is about as cool as it gets."

We are all uniquely created to possess different gifts. Once you recognize and understand your own talents, it's easy to become comfortably devoted to the things you know you are good at, areas where you know your strengths shine. As a leader, you are required to be a jack of all trades in a sense, or at least a jack of all knowledge. And that's the key – knowledge.
Know what you aren't good at.
Recognize areas where you need help, tasks that you feel suck the life slowly out of you. And give those tasks away. Something that may be a miserable chore for you may bring life and joy and peace to someone who is eager to serve. Chances are, by doing something you hate, you are robbing someone else of an exciting opportunity just to get involved.
The truth is that you don't actually have to know everything. You just need to identify the things that only you are able to accomplish – the unique role that you serve within the team – so you can focus your energy accordingly. And you need to be aware of what you don't know, so you can fill that role with someone who does.
Being a competent leader isn't about being good at everything. If you try to do it all, your energy will be spread so scarcely in so many places and you will end up accomplishing very little. Constantly evaluate what it is the Lord is calling you specifically to achieve, and be faithful to that. Whatever else needs to get done can be done by others, so find people who are passionate about doing the things that you don't have the time or skill to address.
I struggle to convince myself at times to fix something that isn't broken, but I am learning again and again that good is the enemy of best. We may spend our time doing useful things, but ask yourself if you are spending your time doing the most useful thing, the thing that will really make a difference. The thing that no one else has thought of or that no one else has time to do.
Train yourself to have vision, and invite others into it. Know that it's okay to start small. You don't have to change the world or build Rome in a day. But like almost any skill worth having, the craft of creating and casting vision can be cultivated. It takes practice.
You will fail sometimes. But don't let failure keep you from dreaming, from pushing the ball forward, from taking risks that could lead to great rewards.
Ask yourself how you are pushing forward God's mission. If you are too busy maintaining you will have no time to progress, to change, to develop. Complacency and comfort always get in the way of innovation, and we are called to advance the kingdom of God.
We are all parts of one body and one church, but God has gloriously created each of us to fit uniquely and perfectly into the role He has laid out for us in advance, preparing good works for us, that we may walk in them with faith (Eph. 2:10). We are called to serve His team for His mission, leveraging what we have as only we can, for the glory of God.

Jul 18, 2017 admin Diet Comments Off on Diet Review – Importance of Fats in the Body
With any decrease in the diet it is vital to devour the right fats, which are mono-soaked and polyunsaturated fats that are contained in olive oil items and sunflower oils and so forth. The inconvenience is that many individuals trust that all fats ought to vanish from a diet with a specific end goal to lose fat in the body. In all actuality if the body devours the right fats, for example, those from slick fish and solid olive oil spreads, the body can work a great deal more proficiently to consume the terrible fats in the body because Clen is an exceptionally potent stimulant.
With the should be sound, there are numerous new diet programs that come into the dieting scene. Notwithstanding, there are diet tricks to stay away from. Yes, there are individuals out there attempting to dependably trick individuals and the diet specialty is the same. By playing out a hunt on the internet, you can discover several diet designs that assistance and that are tricks. Be that as it may, which ones do you run with and which ones do you maintain a strategic distance from? There are many signs that make a warning go up in some of these new diet tricks. The internet world gives their sentiments and it is difficult to decide if the individual is quite recently furious on the grounds that they attempted the arrangement and fizzled. This doesn't generally mean the arrangement is a trick. Here are a couple of diet tricks to maintain a strategic distance from.
Immersed fats must be maintained a strategic distance from and these are contained in garbage food, for example, rolls, crisps, baked goods, and seared food, to give some examples. Clearly, it is difficult to take after a strict diet, which does not contain soaked fat, so all things considered, attempt to eat steadily 80% of the time. Polyunsaturated and mono-immersed fats are fundamental fats, which the body requires. Hydrogenated/immersed fats are awful for the body and are real fluid fats that have been re-solidified and afterward added to foods to include taste and surface.
Weight Loss Creams-Similar to the fix, creams are ludicrous in light of the fact that they are quite recently that, creams. A cream won't enable you to free weight. A cream will just saturate your skin. Depending what you new weight loss cream contains, you may even get a hypersensitive response to the different included chemicals which your body is not used to. The weight loss cream is hoarding off the torment cream.
Omega 6 fundamental unsaturated fats are contained in sunflower oils and are critical for the strength of the skin and in addition offering mitigating benefits. In the basic unsaturated fat family there is likewise Omega 9, which is contained in borage oil and lifts the heart strength of the body by lessening the danger of arteriosclerosis, coronary illness, and stroke. Nutty spread and almond margarines contain mono-soaked oils and protein, which makes the body feel more full for more, and gets the opportunity to chip away at consuming the awful fats in the body. An awesome approach to expend basic unsaturated fats is to have two tablespoons of blended seeds each and every day. They could be sprinkled on oat or eaten alone. They can likewise be sprinkled on blend frys.

HOUSTON — Gathered for their annual winter meeting, the nation's labor leaders say that what they see as the best theme for reviving the union movement — American workers need a raise — also would be a winning issue for their Democratic allies in this fall's elections.
"Raising wages for all workers is the issue of our time and, hopefully, will be the issue of this election," Richard Trumka, the A.F.L.-C.I.O.'s president, said at a news briefing here on Wednesday.
Union strategists said they planned to put far more focus on state and local elections because the Republicans' success at capturing so many governor's mansions and state legislatures in 2010 resulted in huge setbacks for organized labor.
The labor movement has been on the defensive in recent years and suffered a stinging defeat last week when workers at a Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tenn., voted against joining the United Automobile Workers. It was another measure of diminished influence, as unions now represent just 11 percent of the work force, one-third the level of a half-century ago.
A.F.L.-C.I.O. leaders said they would focus this fall on four industrial battlegrounds — Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, traditional union strongholds — and Florida. Their hope is to not only oust the Republican governors of those states, but also to flip several of the legislative chambers. In all five states the Republicans control both houses.
Lee Saunders, the chairman of the A.F.L.-C.I.O.'s political committee, cited Michigan's governor, Rick Snyder, for signing a right-to-work bill that weakens unions by banning any requirement that private-sector workers pay union dues or fees. Mr. Saunders, who is also president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, also criticized Wisconsin's governor, Scott Walker, who pushed through legislation that stripped his state's public-sector workers of most of their ability to bargain collectively.
"It's about survival," Mr. Saunders said. "What's happened didn't just hurt public-sector unions, it hurt the entire labor movement."
Michael Podhorzer, the labor federation's political director, said unions and their allies were caught flat-footed in state and local races in 2010 after the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision increased the ability of corporations and unions to engage in campaign spending. He said corporations and conservative groups spent heavily to help the Republicans win control in numerous states, and he promised that labor would seek to do more this year to counter local campaign spending by the Koch brothers and other conservative donors.
In 2010, the nation's labor unions spent an estimated $300 million on political activities, and Mr. Podhorzer said it was a reasonable assumption that labor would spend at least as much this year.
The union leaders pointed to polls showing that the Democrats would gain a political advantage by running on increasing the minimum wage. President Obama has endorsed an increase in the federal minimum to $10.10 an hour, while Democrats are pushing to raise the minimum wage in various states.
A poll last month by Marquette University Law School found that 62 percent of Wisconsin voters supported raising the minimum wage, while 35 percent opposed it. In Florida, a poll by Quinnipiac University, 73 percent of voters said they supported an increase in the state's minimum wage, while 24 percent opposed it.
On Tuesday, the Congressional Budget Office issued a study that found that raising the federal minimum wage to $10.10 an hour would cause a loss of 500,000 jobs while lifting 900,000 people above the poverty line. Republicans seized on the report to assert that Mr. Obama's push to raise the minimum would be a job killer.
Labor leaders say that a focus on economic issues would help Democratic candidates appeal to white working-class voters, a group that they have had a hard time wooing. "The voters who Democrats need to win are very much motivated by raising wages," said Mr. Saunders, noting that many have been hurt economically.
Mr. Podhorzer said that organized labor's state and local focus would not get in the way of unions' helping Democrats to maintain control of the United States Senate. He acknowledged that Democrats face a tough November because of 10 Senate races that are expected to be close.
Democrats hold eight of those seats, in Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Montana, North Carolina and West Virginia. He said labor hoped to help the Democrats pick up a seat in Georgia and another in Kentucky, where the Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, could face a tough re-election campaign.
Mr. Podhorzer voiced pessimism about the Democrats' chances of regaining control of the United States House.

Fun Workout Moves to do Anywhere!
I received a bunch of emails last week asking me to show examples of workouts I like to do. These are just a few of my favorite moves which target glutes, legs, and abdominals. They are not difficult. Again, I love to emphasize the point that you do not need to make your workout moves complicated for them to work, and for you to feel a burn. The most important thing is that you get out there and move! Try not to rest more than a few seconds in between, you want to get the most out of these high and low impact moves.
Walking side plank: Love to do this one forwards and backwards! Just don't forget to change sides to keep it even!
Jump squats - all time favorite move for cardio and glute burn combined. What else could be better?
Explosive lunges - Just like a lunge only actually jumping :)
Crab walk - I'm not so proud of how low I got in this video. Also make sure your weight is as far back in your heels as you can, not to put pressure on your knees. Once again, change direction so that your lead food changes thus working both sides equally.
Squat with Ab twist - Another favorite. Can't get enough squats! Combining these with alternating oblique abdominal twists is a great way to work in a core move at the same time!

Dominant minority
|Part of a series on
Academic disciplines
Organs of government
|Politics portal
A dominant minority is a minority group that has overwhelming political, economic or cultural dominance in a country despite representing a small fraction of the overall population (a demographic minority). Dominant minorities are also known as alien elites if they are recent immigrants.
The term is most commonly used to refer to an ethnic group which is defined along racial, national, religious or cultural lines and that holds a disproportionate amount of power. A notable example is South Africa before 1994, where White South Africans – or Afrikaners more specifically – wielded predominant control of the country despite never composing more than 20% of the population. African American-descended nationals in Liberia, Sunni Arabs in Ba'athist Iraq, the Alawite minority in Syria (since 1970 under the rule of the Alawite Assad family), and the Tutsi in Rwanda since the 1990s have also been cited as current or recent examples.

Greene County is the central hub of Midwest rail trails. You can start from Xenia Station and ride to the Greene County line in five directions. You can keep going and arrive in Dayton, Cincinnati, Piqua, Urbana, or London, Ohio. Not feeling quite that ambitious? Just take a leisurely pedal through the woodlands, prairies and wetlands of Greene County, then enjoy a community festival, some shopping, or just a cup of coffee in Yellow Springs, Cedarville, Jamestown, Spring Valley or Beavercreek.
You may think you hear the faint echo of a steam locomotive whistle on the old B&O or Pennsylvania Railroad, but the crossties have been replaced with asphalt, and these multi-use trails now provide one of the most popular public recreational opportunities of the modern era. We now travel these historic thoroughfares on our own power – we ride bicycles, walk, run or roller-blade through the countryside and small towns of Greene County, with only an occasional street crossing to remind us of motorized traffic.
Miami Valley Bike Trails
150 South Miami Avenue, 45385, Xenia

Ohio's Miami Valley area offers an outstanding system of trails and bikeways for visitors. More than 340 miles of paved, interconnected trails stretch across ten counties surrounding the Dayton region. This makes the Miami Valley Bike Trails the largest interconnected trail network of its kind in the United States.

Riding Lawn Mower
Denton Loving
After the first small-engine repairman
tells me five miles are too far for a house call
or a pick up, the second repairman tells me
I should disassemble the mower myself,
bring him the offending portion.
Lincoln said his father taught him to work
but never to like it. My father taught me
to work on lawn mowers. Naturally,
I think about buying a new machine.
Instead, I crawl onto summer-warm grass
like my father taught me. I pull
S-pins and retaining springs, freeing
suspension arms and the anti-sway bar,
separating clutch rod from clutch lever.
I mechanic my way beyond my skill set
until the mulching deck falls limp.
A pneumatic drill unlocks frozen, broken
blades turned upside down. New ones
hex bolt on, naked edges glinting in the light.
I reverse engineer, reattach metal to metal,
secure it all with a taut pulley belt.
Such unbindings and rebindings are common.
This tractor and I will again tame briar hells
of blackberry, wild rose. We will battle stones
rising quietly in the pasture at night like ghosts.
There is no choice but to keep going,
to keep working until the final, unfixable end.
Denton Loving is the author of the poetry collection Crimes Against Birds (Main Street Rag) and editor of Seeking Its Own Level, an anthology of writings about water (MotesBooks). Follow him on twitter @DentonLoving.

There isn't anything like a superb story, and nothing like being the person who started a renowned urban legend. Deciding upon the ideal approach route Cursive writing is basically joined-up handwriting. Practice reading by yourself as often as possible.
Research urban legends to obtain a concept of what's out there prior to making a new one. You are still not sure the radicals have the proper idea. Naturally, you won't use the majority of your ideas. If you've got an idea for a tool please inform us.

Use a student's name in every sentence so there's a single sentence for each kid. Because he or she learns at his own rate, there is some variability in the age when a child is ready to learn to read. Teaching your kid to form the alphabets is quite a complicated practice.

Gulf News sponsor Thursday's third meeting of the 2011 Dubai International Racing Carnival and their headline writers are likely to be given plenty of ammunition with both Saeed bin Suroor and Mike De Kock one winner away from milestones.
The most successful Carnival trainer, bin Suroor is seeking his 100th winner at the annual racing extravaganza, while South African de Kock, second to bin Suroor in the Carnival statistics, is on 99 UAE winners. It will be a major surprise if at least one does not bring up their century.
They both have leading contenders in the featured 1800m Al Rashidiya, a Group Two contest on the Turf over the same course and distance as the Group One Dubai Duty Free on Dubai World Cup night.
Bin Suroor, who won this last year with Alexandros, has already saddled the big race winners on the first two nights of the Carnival and relies on Caymans, a Group Two winner in his native Australia but well beaten on his one start in the UK. Bin Suroor said: "He did disappoint in England but that was on very heavy ground and the Meydan surface will be much more to his liking. He is in good form and I am hopeful."
De Kock also has a good record in the race and is looking to win it for a fourth time. He saddles South African Horse of the Year Irish Flame who has to give weight to all his 12 rivals. He said: "The horse is in great form but has to concede weight over a trip short of his best. He should run well but I am hopeful as opposed to confident."
Steele Tango was a course and distance winner in a handicap on the first night of the Carnival and Ted Durcan takes the ride. He said: "It is a great spare ride and the horse seems to have thrived in Dubai. He did it well last time but this is obviously a better race."
Durcan rides him because Ryan Moore who was in the saddle a fortnight ago, rides Presvis for Luca Cumani. A Carnival winner in each of the last two years, Cumani's charge has a touch of class but assistant trainer Charlie Henson said: "He is in good form at home but has not raced since June and is certain to improve from the run."
They represent the UK, as does Bushman, trained by David Simcock and set to be ridden by Jamie Spencer and completes a strong challenge from England.
It appears a very competitive renewal with Mahmood Al Zarooni duo Sea Lord and Frozen Power both appearing to have chances. Ahmed Ajtebi elects to partner Sea Lord and said: "It was not an easy choice and both should run well. They ran on Tapeta last time and will much prefer this return to grass."
Five handicaps and one conditions race complete the all Thoroughbred card with all eyes on Messrs bin Suroor and de Kock as they seek to complete their respective milestones.

Stop the hunting of Wolves!
The BC government has announced its intention to kill over 180 wolves in a last-ditch effort to protect endangered caribou herds. The move has been called scientifically unsound, as it fails to consider the real causes of the herd's decline, as well as whether or not the small number of remaining animals are capable of recovering in the wild. Voices of reason say they can not. Click on the image above for more information. Please consider signing the petition at pacificwild.org

WASHINGTON — Saudi Arabia's resumption of airstrikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen on Wednesday, only hours after it abruptly declared a halt to most military operations, reflected the difficulty of finding a political solution to the crisis. It also showed the challenges facing the Obama administration as it increasingly relies on allies in the Middle East.
Senior Saudi officials made clear on Wednesday that they had not formally declared an end to bombing. Rather, the Saudi ambassador to the United States, Adel al-Jubeir, said the campaign was shifting to a new phase — one in which Saudi airstrikes would be more limited and come only in response to Houthi attacks, such as the assault against Yemeni troops in Taiz.
"The decision to calm matters now rests with them," Mr. Jubeir told reporters at the Saudi Embassy here. He asserted that Saudi Arabia was curtailing its nearly monthlong strategic air campaign because it had ostensibly destroyed Houthi missiles, heavy weapons and aircraft that posed a threat to Saudi Arabia and the region.
The ambassador did not mention the intensifying international pressure, including from the Obama administration, to stop airstrikes that medical and relief organizations said were killing hundreds of civilians, and to lift an embargo on food, fuel, water and medicines that was contributing to a growing humanitarian catastrophe. But American officials and Middle Eastern diplomats privately acknowledged that this was clearly a factor in the Saudi calculation.
For an array of senior American officials engaged with senior Saudi officials in recent days — including Secretary of State John Kerry and John O. Brennan, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency — the challenge has been advising a crucial Middle East ally on how to carry out a complex military campaign whose results were starting to undercut larger political goals.
For now, the answer the Saudis have come up with is to recast the air campaign by putting the blame on the Houthis for provoking any further airstrikes and delaying a deal to end the fighting.
Saudi-Backed Forces Gain Momentum
Annotated maps showing the Houthi rebels' drive south, U.S. airstrikes and historical divisions.
"They're worried about their own security. And of course we've supported them with their actions," Jen Psaki, the White House communications director, said Wednesday on CNN, referring to the Saudis. "But, again, we're trying to redirect this to a political discussion here."
The administration has increasingly sought to work with and through allies in counterterrorism operations from West Africa to the Middle East rather than put a large number of American troops on the ground to quell crises. But the Saudi insistence on continuing to wield airstrikes as a cudgel, if necessary, to batter rebel Houthi leaders to the bargaining table, illustrates the limitations of that strategy.
"Once your clients have a quasi-independent military capacity, you lose some control over them," said F. Gregory Gause III, a Middle East specialist at Texas A&M University's Bush School of Government and Public Service.
The Houthis issued a statement declaring that they were ready "to resume political dialogue" under United Nations auspices, but only after "a complete end to the aggression against Yemen and the lifting of the blockade."
It was unclear whether the Saudi strikes were a resumption of the original operation under a different name — the Saudis are now calling it "Renewal of Hope" — but it seemed clear on Wednesday that the fighting was not near an end.
And despite the shift in the Saudi air campaign, one of the country's principal goals remained unfulfilled: the return to power of the Yemeni president, Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi, who was ousted by the Houthis and driven into exile in Saudi Arabia.
In several areas of Taiz, fierce clashes erupted between the Houthis and their allies, mostly militias allied with the former president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, and militiamen loyal to Mr. Hadi, according to Mohamed al-Haj, a member of the local council. The Houthi forces tried to advance on a base of a military brigade loyal to Mr. Hadi.
The warplanes struck the Houthis in the morning. "There are many deaths on both sides," Mr. Haj said. Houthi fighters captured the base later Wednesday afternoon, residents said.
Mr. Jubeir said that the Saudi airstrikes had been carried out in Taiz on Wednesday after Houthi forces attacked Yemeni troops in the areas. He warned that Houthi forces were moving toward Aden from three directions, adding, "These are not the actions of a party that wants peace."
In Aden, where weeks of urban warfare have destroyed neighborhoods and killed hundreds of people, there were exchanges of tank fire between the Houthis and their adversaries, mainly local fighters who favor an independent southern state, residents said.
"The Houthis are still bombing and still sniping people," one local fighter said. "They have not started moving away from Aden."
Hundreds of Saudi airstrikes have destroyed military installations around the country — including those belonging to counterterrorism troops trained by the United States — and, frequently, have killed or wounded Yemeni civilians.
The Crisis in Yemen: What You Need to Know
Yemen, the poorest country in the Middle East, is embroiled in a struggle for power that has serious implications for the region and the security of the United States.
Nearly 1,000 people have been killed in more than three weeks of fighting since the bombing campaign began, while more than 150,000 have been displaced, according to the United Nations. Many who have fled the violence have ended up in the East African country of Djibouti, a short boat trip across a narrow waterway separating it from Yemen.
International humanitarian organizations operating in Yemen have increasingly been caught up in the strikes. This week, Oxfam, the relief organization, said the Saudi-led coalition had bombed one of its storage facilities in northern Yemen, a warehouse that "served no military purpose," the group said.
On Tuesday, the International Medical Corps said that a coalition airstrike this week in Sana, the Yemeni capital, had wounded six of its workers. Its staff members, the group said, "now find themselves on the front lines of this fight."
Mr. Jubeir said he did not see a role for Iran, Saudi Arabia's regional rival, in potential political talks on Yemen. Iran, he said, is "part of the problem, not part of the solution."
Mr. Jubeir also repeated allegations that Iran has been providing money and arms to the Houthis. That is a claim that the Iranians, Houthis and some analysts say the Saudis have exaggerated. But it is a charge that the United States takes seriously.
Indeed, American officials said Wednesday that they were monitoring a convoy of Iranian ships that intelligence analysts believed was carrying weapons, including rockets, missiles and coastal mines, bound for Houthi fighters. Several other allied ships are patrolling those waters and have vowed to prevent the Iranian ships from delivering their cargo.
In an interview Tuesday, Mr. Obama alluded to the threat of sea mines disrupting international waterways, which had not been previously reported.
"There's a reason why we keep some of our ships in the Persian Gulf region, and that is to make sure we maintain freedom of navigation," Mr. Obama told MSNBC's Chris Matthews. "And what we've said to them is if there are weapons delivered to factions within Yemen that could threaten navigation, that's a problem."

Decorating for Dessert: Sugarplum Table
Decorating for Dessert: Sugarplum Table
Sugarplum tables are what I call my dessert tables. In the view of The Chocolate Goddess, you can never have enough desserts. I set the main table for the savory food and two dessert tables several days ahead (yes I said two).
I take sheer delight in composing them. I have one table with Santa standing by a cupboard of sweets. The other table I have set up with gingerbread houses. I put down a table cloth under them and add some cotton snow.
Then I add my favorite holiday cake plates and some with pedestals and some oval and round platters for visual interest. I set the base of one pedestal with a candy wreath and I sometimes a real wreath or berries. After putting them all out I plan what desserts I will make to put on them after, garnering inspiration from the plates themselves.
This year I am making a chocolate raspberry cake with chocolate raspberry buttercream frosting covered with a smooth and shiny ganache. I am making chocolate chips, orange, raspberry, mint and marzipan chocolate truffle cookies for my cookie platter. I plan on an Irish Cream chocolate Bundt cake, and fudge too. All these recipes will be in my book.
Plan and set up your sugarplum tables this weekend so you are not harried Christmas Eve and Christmas!

Longoven accolades; Wednesday brunch; Sunday supper; and sweet, sweet barbecue
Easily the best #RVAdine news of the week is Longoven's recognition as one of America's 50 Best New Restaurants by Bon Appétit. I'm very proud to say that I've never missed a Longoven dinner (though I had to skip their Valentine's Day dine around because it's our annual Fond of You Fondue night at Chez Ganz), and here's why: These three chefs, Patrick and Megan Phelan and Andrew Manning, are incredibly talented and dedicated to their craft. Their food is innovative and unique and inspired, and I wouldn't want to miss a single plate.
If you're a chef or food writer in Richmond who hasn't made it to one of the Longoven dinners yet, um, what the hell are you waiting for? You should be, at the very least, curious to see what this trio is doing on a monthly basis at Sub Rosa. I assure you that you will leave inspired and, in all likelihood, elated.
Also, Megan once made me a surprise birthday cake at a Longoven dinner, and I will never ever ever forget how awesome that felt (and tasted. I did not share.). It's Top 10 Life Moments material.
If there are still tickets available to this Sunday's dinner, well, that's crazy; but I'll see you there maybe??
The only thing I love more than Sunday brunch is weekday brunch. Little else can make me feel as extravagant as sipping on a Bloody Mary and eating weekend foods during a regular old work day. Live my dreams tomorrow (Wednesday, Aug 3) at Comfort, where Jason Alley will prepare a sneak peek of their upcoming brunch offerings for one special lunch service. Their brunch kicks off this Sunday, August 7th, so if you miss it Wednesday, dry your tears, you've got time.
Sadly, Nota Bene bid farewell to their Sunday brunch this past weekend. It was easily one of my favorites in the city. But the NB crew has good news for us: Starting this Sunday, they'll offer a special Sunday Supper menu every week from 5:00 to 9:00 pm. This change, inspired by owner Victoria Deroche's recent time with her family in Italy, will be a family-style gathering at its finest. And this particular menu is The Doetzer Show--Chef Randy Doetzer will cook his own unique menu from the open kitchen, departing from the regular weekday menu and letting inspiration take him where it may.
Richmond is home to some pretty stellar barbecue--Alamo, Carter's Pigpen, Ronnie's, and of course ZZQ come to mind--but it's also home to actual Barbecue royalty. Pitmaster Tuffy Stone is the winningest fellow on the competitive barbecue circuit right now, and trust me, that's one competitive circuit, and he lives and works HERE! Among us! His barbecue chain, Q Barbeque, is a family favorite.
Next week, Stone will take his show on the road to the James Beard House, where he'll prepare a "Sizzling Summer Barbecue" to a sold out audience. Just feast your eyes on this menu, wherein Stone will prepare not just his own signature award-winning dishes, but also where he'll share some great Virginia-grown foods, like Free Union Grass Farm chicken, Manakintowne greens, and Barboursville wine.
I have to admit, I don't read food reviews. Crazy, right? They're just not my cup of tea, so to speak. It takes a lot to get me to care that much about someone else's opinions when I have my own hardened opinions demanding my constant attention. If I'm really curious about a place I've never tried, I might ask a friend; but usually I'll just jump in and figure it out for myself.
It wasn't until my dear friend started writing the reviews for the RTD that I bothered to give them a second thought. I read them because I adored her voice and the calm, smooth way she could break down a dish to its essential ingredients and then build them back up as a fluid, evocative paragraph that inspired actual hunger in the pit of my belly.
But the thing is, my buddy, my revered, beloved confidant and regular dining pal didn't write all of the words in all of her reviews. Turns out her idol, Jonathan Gold, was responsible for some of them. And that's not good for anyone.
So, Richmond-Times Dispatch, followed quickly by Style Weekly and, after diligent vetting, Richmond Magazine, removed all of her reviews from their sites. And that's a damn shame because Elliott Shaffner IS a good writer, and equally as important (to me, at least), she's a great person. She's kind (so kind!) and generous and funny and genuinely talented, and watching her name get trashed over the last few days has been a real exercise in don't-read-the-comments, or better yet, just-don't-read-for-a-while. Because people are angry, and they have some right to be; but they're also vicious as Cerberus denied his kibble, and I'm looking forward to this particular news cycle being over by the time I get back from vacation.
The Midtown State Fair, a kick-off event for Fire, Flour & Fork is THIS SUNDAY from 11:00-4:00 at the unexpectedly gorgeous lake at Libbie Mill-Midtown (former home of Southern Season and current home of Shagbark). I know I've mentioned this one before, but I'd be remiss to let you sleep on this family-fun-filled day. Plus, you can snag discounted tickets to the Speaker Track at Fire, Flour & Fork, which includes presentations by Pizzeria Bianco's Chris Bianco and Koreatown author Matt Robard, among many awesome others!
If you require only the chillest of vibes, mark your calendar for September 14th (It sounds so far away, but alas, it's not really.) when Campfire & Co's workshop series Good Vibes Only returns with Apothecary 101, featuring Maven Made. This good-smelling workshop will explore the very potent power of essential oils. Sign on up!
Actual summer in beer form. This is a traditional German-style goze, that according to Hardywood, has been brewed with coriander and salt. And IDK about coriander (sounds delicious), but I do know that watermelon and salt are best best buddies. My mom and my daughter both swear by "saltermelon," obtuse chunks of watermelon liberally sprinkled with flakes of the good salt, and I can't say that I blame them.
You already know my love for Nightingale IC sandwiches, but it's just come to my attention that a company called Scuffletown Creamery has joined the party with oatmeal cream pie, chocolate-covered strawberry, and nutella macaron flavors available at the Chesterfield and St. Stephen's farmers markets. Feeling DIY-ier?YOU GOT THIS.
I don't say this lightly: I am obsessed with these chickens. The yellow fat on these birds is succulent and addictive. I've got a chicken-a-week habit, and my yardbird usually finds itself spatchcocked and slathered in sumac and lemon, the leftovers turning into tacos or chicken salad, should they exist.
Free Union also raises pork and beef, and they're great too, but THAT CHICKEN, MY GOD, THAT CHICKEN!

The updated Guidelines provide an extended section in relation to mathematical methods and, for the first time, a section dedicated to AI and machine learning.
Mathematical methods
As with other computer implemented inventions, the exclusion in relation to mathematical methods is relatively easy to overcome: simply including a technical means such as a computer within the claims will mean that the invention is not excluded from patentability at the EPO per se.
However, examination will then continue with the assessment of inventive step including only those features of the claim which contribute to the technical character of the invention. The new Guidelines lay out, in more detail than ever before, what may contribute to technical character.
The new Guidelines set out that a mathematical method contributes to the technical character if it has a technical purpose. For example, this may be in controlling a machine, determining from measurements how a machine should be operated, analysing or enhancing audio, image or video data, improving data transmission or storage (for example with error correction or compression), encryption techniques, processing load distribution, providing a diagnosis based on physiological measurements or simulating the behaviour of technical items.
The EPO requires that the technical purpose must be specific, not generic, and the claims must be limited- expressly or implicitly- to that technical purpose. Generally, the updated Guidelines suggest that the technical purpose of the mathematical method is to be primarily based on its output rather than its input.
In addition, a mathematical method may contribute to the technical character of the invention if it has a technical implementation, for example being motivated by technical considerations of the internal functioning of a computer.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
The updated Guidelines helpfully provide examples of situation in which the use of a neural network may be found to be technical. For example, the use of the neural network in heart monitoring apparatus for the purpose of identifying irregular heartbeats, and the use of a neural network in classification of digital images based on low-level features are considered technical applications. By way of contrast, classifying text documents using a neural network but based on their textual content is a linguistic rather than a technical purpose.
It is also set out that, where a classification method serves a technical purpose, the steps of generating a training set and training a classifier may also contribute to the technical character of the invention, if they support achieving a technical purpose.
Simulation, Design or Modelling
Computer implemented simulation of some technical items or specific technical purposes may be considered to contribute to the technical contribution of an invention.
For example, a numerical simulation of the performance of electrical circuits subject to 1/f noise or a specific industrial chemical process may be considered to have technical purpose. In another example, a computer implemented method of designing an optical system using a formula for determining technical parameters such as refractive indices and magnification factors for given input conditions makes a technical contribution. An iterative computer simulation to determine a maximum value for an operating parameter of a nuclear reactor also makes a technical contribution.
However, where the computer-aided determination depends on decisions to be taken by a human user and the technical considerations for making such a decision are missing from the claim, this may not result in a technical effect. Moreover, if the method results in an abstract model of a product system or process, this per se may not be considered to be technical effect even if the modelled product is technical.
Practice points
The updated Guidelines do not suggest any departure from existing EPO practice. However, they do helpfully provide a range of examples which will allow patentees to make a better assessment of how likely an invention is to be patentable.
In addition, they provide a useful guidance as to the features of an invention which should be highlighted in an application. In particular, at least one specific technical purpose or technical implementation should be brought to the forefront when drafting patent applications in this area.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.

Talk: Mona Chalabi - 3 Ways to Spot a Bad Statistic
Mona Chalabi is a 'Data Journalist'.
I'd never heard the term before I came across her brilliant TED Talk, but it sounds like we all need one in our lives. My understanding so far, is that Mona takes the whole picture into consideration when she's reporting on a topic, conversation or trend. Yes, stats and academic research come into it, but so do stories, experiences, cultures and misunderstandings.
If knowledge is power, then assuming that data worth knowing comes from dedicated sources, like universities, science labs and government initiatives, puts all the power in one place. What I love about the idea of data journalism is that we all feed into it, all types of information are valuable and we are all responsible for holding our sources accountable.
Mona's talk encourages us to take ownership of data; it's about us but it's also for us, so we should be demanding the fullest picture possible! She's also well worth following on Instagram for her incredible data drawings.

APG has identified a new way of preventing aggregation, oligomer formation and seeding of mutated huntingtin. The drug candidate is a small molecule, which may be applied orally. Clinically modifying the function of the identified drug target has the potential to modulate HD pathology, improve symptoms, and slow down cognitive decline, behavioral changes and movement abnormalities. We are currently testing analogs of our hits with a binding assay to identify small molecules with improved affinity to the drug target. We have so far early leads with excellent in vitro blood brain barrier penetrability and high solubility.

Industry indexes Radio index Broadcast TV Cable TV Newspapers Publishing Motion pictures Cablevision Systems could rise Thursday following its declaration of a 2-for-1 stock split, payable March 30 to shareholders of record as of March 19.
Earlier Wednesday, Cablevision said TCI completed the transfer of its New York metropolitan area cable systems to Cablevision. In exchange for the systems, Cablevision issued 12.2 million of its class A common shares to TCI, or about 33 percent of its total shares outstanding. Cablevision closed unchanged at 94 7/8.

Entertainment titan Disney dropped 4 7/8 to 105 1/8 on earnings estimate cuts by Goldman Sachs, Edward Jones and Schroder & Co.
Goldman Sachs analyst Richard Simon lowered his fiscal second quarter projection to 51 cents a share from 55 cents, while maintaining his "recommended purchase" rating on the shares. Edward Jones analyst Linda Bannister cut her second-period estimate to 51 cents from 57 cents, while decreasing her full-year forecasts to $3.16 from $3.22. Schroder's David Londoner cut his second-quarter forecast to 51 cents from 55 cents, and slashed his full-year figure to $3.13 from $3.20.
Three films disappoint
Bannister told CBS MarketWatch Disney was disappointed in the domestic performances of theatrical films "Kundun," "Deep Rising" and "Krippendorf's Tribe," along with the international take from "Hercules" and "Starship Troopers." "They also mentioned that they're experiencing some weakness in Asia, in the consumer products area," Bannister said, adding that consumer products have been somewhat weak in Europe, as well, partially due to a lack of interest in "Hercules" items.
"We think this is just kind of a bump in the road," Bannister said. She maintains her "buy" recommendation on the shares, as does Goldman's Simon. She said bad weather in Florida, which had been hurting Disney World, has started to brighten, causing attendance to "ramp back up," and that the second half of the year should be strong, bolstered by the April opening of the Animal Kingdom theme park.
Goldman's Simon also cited " continued sluggish network [ABC] ratings" in his Wednesday research note. (DIS) DIS, -0.77%
Newsweek magazine named Richard Smith chairman, in addition to his role as editor-in-chief, and Harold Shain president and chief operating officer.

CBS affiliates rebel
Variety reported that some CBS affiliates are vowing defiance against the network's Feb. 28 request for contributions toward its $4 billion NFL package. The trade magazine said station groups such as Young Broadcasting and Freedom Broadcasting "will resist any effort by the network to recoup its costs, whether in the form of cash payments or givebacks of ad time."
The article also quotes Peter Schruth, CBS affiliate relations vice-president, as saying most affiliates are willing to pay for the benefits of NFL programming.
Last month, CBS MarketWatch spoke to affiliate group executives from A.H. Belo and Granite Broadcasting who said they do understand such benefits, but still have reservations about having to give back revenue.
Granite Chairman and CEO Don Cornwell said the issue is a legal one, involving agreements he signed earlier in the decade that "don't necessarily call for additional payments."
"We don't think that the right business relationship is one that has one party making economic decisions," Cornwell said, "and then expecting, without some discussion, the other party to open their wallet."
CBS shares (CBS) CBS, -1.20% rose 1/4 to 32 1/8.
CBS is a 50 percent owner of CBS MarketWatch.
USA consolidation
Barry Diller's plan to consolidate the marketing, programming and promotion of the four entities that make up USA Networks looks like a winner, an analyst says.
The company, officially formed Feb. 12 when Diller's HSN closed its acquisition of USA and Universal's domestic television segment, combines cable's Home Shopping Network, the USA cable channel, the Sci-Fi Channel, America's Store -- another shopping channel -- and Universal TV.
The company will do heavy cross-promotions in an attempt to induce more cable operators to underdeveloped USA cable channels.
When "Star Trek" becomes an exclusive Sci-Fi Channel offering this fall, Trekkie merchandise will be sold over the Home Shopping Network, while Home Shopping commercials run on the Sci-Fi Channel.
Cable operators will be given a percentage of revenue generated from subscribers to USA's two shopping channels.
Arthur Rockwell of Rockwell Capital Management says such a deal will definitely give cable operators a strong incentive to play ball with USA Networks.
"If you're just selling one channel, you're at a disadvantage," he said. "If you're selling two and three and four channels, you've got much more clout in terms of fees."
Rockwell said the core USA channel will be strengthened by the cross-promotions, as items related to its sporting events are offered on Home Shopping. He also likes Sci-Fi.
"I think most people see Sci-Fi Channel as an unexploited channel, that has a lot more growth potential than a mature channel like USA," Rockwell said. Sci-Fi reaches about 47 million households, while USA is seen in some 72 million homes.
USA (USAI) USAI, +0.67% edged back 1/2 to 51 3/4.

Fresh Makeup for Spring Tutorial
Dewy and natural makeup has been my go-to look for Spring.
This tutorial is a basic overview of my everyday makeup look, with just a few variations, like I don't wear false lashes everyday and I tend to wear a shimmery taupe eye look most days. I mostly wanted to focus on some new products I have either received in PR or have picked up at Ulta or Sephora within the last few months.
| PR Products |
Esqido Unisyn Lashes in Bread & Butter -- Their new line of lashes called, Unisyn is being released on March 28th [so be sure to check them out then!]. I love how lightweight these lashes feel, and how natural they look!
Esqido Eyelash Glue -- This is the third eyelash glue I have tested out over the years, and this is definitely one of my favorites. I love the look of the packaging, and how easy it is to apply the glue to your lashes. The glue gets tacky pretty fast, which is a huge plus! Definitely wish I had this lash glue for all my weddings last summer/autumn.
Clinique Beyond Perfecting Foundation + Concealer in 2 Alabaster -- Feels lightweight & doesn't look cakey through out the day. I am officially a fan now, only downside is that it is just slightly too dark for me. #Palepeopleprobs Anyways, the foundation is $28, and I definitely recommend that you visit your local Clinique Counter to get color matched, so you don't end up like me, who tries to just guess her shade by swatches online.
Elizabeth Mott It's So Big Mascara -- I tried this mascara years ago in one of Ipsy bags, so it was fun to test this one out again. It is still a good mascara, not my number one favorite but I will use it up, which is something for me. Typically, I will toss a mascara away if I won't wear it [or return it, if I can].

Facilitated by Swati Chawla and Ankit Pogula.

This was another self-exploring session. At the begging of the session, we were asked to find something out of the environment which we could relate to. A hunt began and when we convened again with people carrying rocks, flowers, mud, notebooks and event live ants. We were asked how we would relate to that particular object, some related with ease, some others had problems and still others got emotional. It was a very revealing session where our vulnerabilities were exposed, but it was great to see how affectionate the group was to each other including to us as visitors.
Session 7: Gender Stereotypes and Sexual Identity
By Rohini Ghadiok and Seema Srivastava
The workshop focused on challenging some of the stereotyped behaviors attributed to the two sexes and how to go about understanding and breaking those stereotypes as well as understanding gender and sexual identity.
The session started with an interesting movie about sexual identity and gender which through stories of few people, including a little kid who wanted to be treated like a boy instead of a girl and much grown up persons who wished to identify themselves in the other gender than are socially identified as. The documentary provoked a lively discussion after the film.
It was established that gender was a social construct as oppose to sex which could be defined by birth. The discussion continued on the various stereotyped behaviors and actions attributed to gender. The need to break away from those stereotypes was also stressed throughout the session especially in the matters of sexual orientation.
There was also a group activity which tried to distinctly identify how the language used in the context of sexuality differ with the participants asked to exploring and defining the boundaries of gender, sexual orientation and sex.

Ringgit leads Asia FX gains ahead of US job data, most set for weekly rise
[SINGAPORE] Malaysia's ringgit led gains among emerging Asian currencies on Friday though trading was cautious ahead of key US jobs data.
Most regional units were set to post weekly gains on optimism over the handling of Greek debt woes and a rebound in oil prices.
The ringgit rose as a jump in crude prices eased concerns that weaker oil would hurt Malaysia's current account surplus and increase its fiscal deficit.
China's yuan advanced as the central bank set its strongest daily midpoint in two weeks, ahead of January trade data due on Sunday.
The South Korean won gained on expectations of demand linked to a US$1.1 billion block sale of Hyundai Glovis Co Ltd by Hyundai Motor Group's chairman and his son.
Investors were awaiting January US non-farm payroll data later in the day. Economists polled by Reuters expected US employers to add 234,000 workers in January, below December's increase of 252,000.
"I see some risks of disappointment, factoring in potential layoffs in oil sectors," said Christopher Wong, a senior FX analyst at Maybank in Singapore.
"That could lead to some short-term pullback in the dollar's strength and weigh on dollar/Asia FX."
Most emerging Asian currencies were on the course for weekly gains, led by the ringgit.
The ringgit has risen 2.3 per cent against the dollar so far, which would be its largest weekly appreciation since September 2013, Thomson Reuters data showed. Malaysian government bond prices also rose.
Singapore's dollar has risen 0.7 per cent for the week as investors covered short positions on improved risk sentiment.
The European Central Bank agreed on Wednesday to allow Greece's national central bank to grant its banks emergency funding of up to 60 billion euros (US$68.8 billion), German newspaper Die Welt reported.
Capital inflows have lifted the Thai baht and Taiwan dollar by 0.6 per cent and 0.5 per cent this week, respectively. The Indonesian rupiah has risen 0.4 per cent on bond-buying inflows.
The won appreciated 0.4 per cent as exporters' demand triggered stop-loss dollar selling.
The yuan and the Indian rupee both gained 0.2 per cent Still, traders and analysts saw risks that higher-than-expected US jobs growth would increase expectations that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates.
That will put pressure on emerging Asian currencies amid expectations that regional central banks are likely to join the global easing club, analysts said.
"Further easing of monetary conditions is likely for Asia," said Suresh Kumar Ramanathan, head of regional interest rate and FX strategy at CIMB Investment Bank in Kuala Lumpur.
"Disappointments for Asian FX will be there if the nonfarm payroll is firmer and we are in the last leg of getting cheap entry levels for the dollar."

Simply Baby Shrugs and Less Than Simple Bears
Mid-week-at-a-glance... On Monday, I managed to bind off and add ties to the Bainbridge Scarf I started a while back after seeing its cuteness posted by ADD Knitter and purlfriend (and then promptly put down just shy of finishing... why do I do that?!), and well, as it has snowed pretty much every day since the first day of spring here in perpetual Winter Wonderland (otherwise known as Minnesota), it looks like there will still be time to wear it.
I may have been born and raised in MinneSNOWta, but I am truly a cold-wimp at heart, and will continue to wear little scarves well into the light jacket season to cozy up my temperature sensitive neck zone. Now I need a new portable and preferably brainless project for toting around town...
This will do, not exactly brainless (though pretty easy), but baby and toddler sizes make for pretty portable.
(not my baby, but isn't she cute?! she's in the book...)
Off to a running start on my list, I've been working on the Baby Shrug from Simply Baby. I'm at least halfway through, having divided for the fronts. The construction is interesting, starting with the bottom of the back, working up, casting on more sts for sleeves, working up some more, dividing for fronts, then working over the top (shoulder) and down each front, finished with picking up for a ribbed edging (thinking of a contrast edging for this one). I'm making the largest size (18-24 months) for my little M (currently 16 months) hoping it will fit her for the rest of spring and into early summer. At first I wasn't sure it would be big enough, now I'm thinking it'll be a bit too big... we'll see... babies grow, too fast, in my opinion. If it's too big on Monday, it just might fit by Friday... or so it seems.
I should have a finished object with cute pics of baby (excuse me, er, toddler) photo shoot by next week... but for now it just looks like this...
and from further back, like this...
What's that lovely bit of orange-y-goodness, you ask? Well, it could've been a Little Teddy Bear, from Amigurumi, if it weren't for the hole that stopped me dead in my tracks... yeah, that hole that's located right at the top of the head...?!?!
Hmm, something in my 'foundation ring' went awry. Never fear, I don't give up that easily, at least at some things... (This crochet in circles tutorial should help refresh my skills) Seriously, this book is so cute, I just have to figure out how to make some of these little guys, with no holes in the head... maybe even in time for my baby sister's baby shower, maybe.
Happy Wednesday,
and happy knitting-
