EAC, as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility, has completed the installation of 200 Photovoltaic (PV) Systems of 3kW capacity each, on houses of consumers who belong to the vulnerable section of the population.The project was based on the Cyprus Energy Regulatory Authority's (CERA) plan for the deployment of the Net Metering scheme in households. The scheme sets out the provisions for the billing of energy as the net result between the consumed and PV produced energy. The EAC package was offered to consumers that were eligible for funding by the "Special Fund for Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and Energy Conservation (ECON)" of the Ministry of Energy, Trade and Tourism. The selection process was based on a first come first served basis.
The PV installations were completed in two phases. During the first phase, a total of 130 systems were installed under the CERA plan for 2013 and during the second phase the remaining systems were installed under the CERA plan for 2014. The PV systems have been installed throughout Cyprus by EAC personnel who have been trained especially for this purpose by EAC officers. The total installation period was 4 months.
The Special Fund for Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and Energy Conservation (ECON) covered the cost of €2.700 as a subsidy to the eligible consumers whilst the additional cost is covered by the payment plan chosen by the consumer. The payment plan was offered with two options. The first option provides a pay off in 24 bi-monthly installments whilst the second option provides a pay off in 36 bi-monthly installments. The installments of both pay off plans are charged to the consumer's bill. It is expected that the installments will be covered by the saving which will be gained from the electricity generation of the PV system.
Once the installed system's cost is fully paid off, the benefit of the system's generation will be enjoyed entirely by the consumer.

From New York magazine:
Located just a short walk from the Brooklyn Museum of Art, this cozy eatery is helmed by celebrity chef Cheryl Smith, former star of the Food Network's Melting Pot. As the name suggests, the menu here travels the world of comfort food, with prolonged layovers in Asia and Northern Africa: Steamed mussels swim in a Thai coconut curry sauce; a Moroccan vegetable tagine is served on a bed of couscous pilaf; and salmon is glazed with sake and accompanied by jasmine rice and nori. Good bets are the tasty and tender bulgogi-marinated rib eye and juicy jumbo shrimp—lightly coated with barbecue sauce, sprinkled with zesty Creole spices, and sided with wilted greens and creamy mashed potatoes...

DIY Cold Drip - Using an Aeropress
Summer is in full swing, well for some of us. Cold drip and cold brew are becoming more and more popular. However, having a cold drip system at home can be rather expensive and only used in the summer months. Cold drip coffee has a totally different taste profile compared to any other methods, especially hot brews. It's refreshing, rich in flavour and delicious. With hot brewing, the delicate flavours and aromas are masked.
I have created a cold drip system that requires only an Aeropress and a 600ml bottle of water. It's a great and easy way to brew cold drip.
What you will need:
- Aeropress
- Aeropress filter papers
- 600ml bottle
- Coffee
- Carafe (make sure it can hold over 500mls)
- Place the Aeropress filter papers in the Aeropress cap and rinse the paper throughly. We do this to remove the paper taste from the filter.
- Screw the cap onto the Aeropress chamber and place it onto a carafe. Make sure the carafe can hold over 500mL of liquid.
- Grind 55 grams of coffee to a coarse grind. Place it into the chamber. You can experiment with grind size to adjust taste.
- Give the chamber a good tap to settle the grounds and try to level out the coffee bed.
- Add a filter paper to the top of the bed of ground coffee. The filter paper helps distribute the water. (This step isn't essential so don't worry too much).
- Grab your bottle and tip the water into the carafe. Don't throw this water out. Cut the bottom of the bottle off. I used a pair of scissors. Leave the lid on. By cutting the bottom off we are simulating a drip rate.
- Place the bottle (lid down) into the chamber.
- Add 600ml of water to the bottle.
- Now the tricky part. By unscrewing the lid slightly we should be able create a drip rate.
- We want the drip rate to be about 1 drip per second. You probably need to check the drip rate after about 20 minutes.
- When you get your drip rate running well let the water drip away. Check it every now and then to make sure everything is ok.
- Once the water is finished you should have a rich and delicious cold drip coffee.
The way I drink it is 150ml of coffee and add 100grams of ice. If you want to spice it up, use 100ml of your cold drip and add 150ml of lemonade.
All my methods are straightforward and simple. I hope they give you an understanding to brew better coffee to the taste you like.

Advanced analytics helps makes sense of petabytes of data by using statistical, indexing, filtering and machine learning techniques. Sumo Logic's cloud-native platform analyzes large volumes of machine data (logs and metrics) to drive actionable insights.
The Three V's: Volume, Velocity and Variety
Machine data represents new analysis challenges due to large volumes, high velocity of data and different data types.
Raw machine data contains billions of log and metric datapoints making it difficult to quickly troubleshoot or gain operational insights. Single-tenant analytic solutions whether on-prem or in the cloud cannot scale to support large volumes or spikes in machine data.
The complexity of modern applications generates machine data at an unprecedented pace. Many solutions struggle to keep up, resulting in longer resolution times and missed opportunities.
Because machine data can be unstructured, semi-structured or structured, analytics tools must be optimized to analyze different data types efficiently and in real-time.
Outliers and Indicators
Sumo Logic's advanced machine data analytics can help you stay ahead of business, operational and security issues. The difference of even a few minutes in detecting a leading indicator and predicting a critical event could mean the difference between a business-critical outage or revenue-generating opportunity.
Sumo Logic helps you:
- Collect and analyze all your data whether it is unstructured, semi-structured or structured
- Correlate and contextualize logs and time-series metric for better visualization and faster root cause analysis
- Isolate problems quickly with outlier detection and machine-learning algorithms
- Predict future KPI violations, abnormal behaviors and future business needs.
Analytical Techniques
Sumo Logic applies advanced analytics to your logs and time-series metrics to drive IT and business insights. These capabilities include:
- Statistical analysis
- Transactional analysis
- Filtering
- Mathematical operations, including maximum, sum, average and minimum
- Visual analysis in the form of histograms, pie charts, etc.
- Boolean logic
- Pattern detection to reduce millions of logs into meaningful patterns
- Outlier detection
- Comparative analytics (based on time or gold standards)
- Predictive analytics (linear projection model)
Sumo Logic for Advanced Analytics
Unlike other analytics solution, Sumo Logic makes it quick and easy to get started with advanced analytics that unify logs and metrics data. With Sumo Logic, you can:
- Analyze all the data you need, not just what you can afford or what your system can handle
- Derive the right insights in real time
- Scale up or down to meet business demands without manual intervention
- Aggregate and correlate logs and time-series metrics across your full application stack and across the build, run and secure lifecycle of your modern applications.

The second point to note is that the Linear Attenuation Coefficient for all materials decreases with the energy of the gamma-rays. 73 cm-1 at 500 keV. The third point to note is that the trends in the table are consistent with the analysis presented earlier. Finally it is important to appreciate that our analysis above is only strictly true when we are dealing with narrow radiation beams. Other factors need to be taken into account when broad radiation beams are involved. Half Value Layer As with using the Half Life to describe the Radioactive Decay Law an indicator is usually derived from the exponential attenuation equation above which helps us think more clearly about what is going on.
Thirdly note that relative to the data in the previous table there is a reciprocal relationship between the Half Value Layer and the Linear Attenuation Coefficient, which we will now investigate. Relationship between the Linear Attenuation Coefficient and the Half Value Layer As was the case with the Radioactive Decay Law, where we explored the relationship between the Half Life and the Decay Constant, a relationship can be derived between the Half Value Layer and the Linear Attenuation Coefficient.
This outcome is exploited in gas-filled detectors as you will see in this chapter. The detector in this case is essentially a gas, in that it is the atoms of a gas which are ionised by the radiation. We will see in the next chapter that solids can also be used as radiation detectors but for now we will deal with gases and be introduced to detectors such as the Ionization Chamber and the Geiger Counter. Before considering these specific types of gas-filled detectors we will first of all consider the situation from a very general perspective.

Pet Pain Management
Pain is a tricky thing to gauge. While one pet may be evidently in distress over an injury, another with a similar injury will hobble along, happily wagging their tail. Since pets can't tell us what they're feeling, we have to pay particular attention to the details so we can properly assess their level of pain. At Akron-Medina Veterinary Hospital and Pet Resort, we focus on those details and strive to find the right pet pain management medication so your pet lives a pain-free, happy life.
Treatment Options
If your pet is undergoing surgery with us, you can be assured they have both pre-surgical and post-surgical pet pain management. We also perform laser surgery in soft tissue procedures which allows for a smoother recovery. No matter what the case, choosing the right medication for pet pain management is important as each option comes with a set of potential risks and side effects.
Questions or Concerns?
Pain is a serious condition and pet pain management is not to be taken lightly. We are happy to answer any question you have about your pet's pain level or concerns about their current pain medication. Get in touch today!

You are about to build something – are you sure the world wants it? When you commit to investment in an unproven product concept, the path forward is fraught with peril. Methods with terminology like "agile" and "minimally viable" persist because they are effective risk reduction techniques. How well do you understand the risks? Do you have a system for identifying and reducing risk?
What would you give for a system that turns risk into product intelligence?
Our Approach:
To stay relevant, your business must constantly reinvent. The products and services that performed well in the past will wither without constant attention. Even so, your customers will begin to wander if your offerings don't keep pace with the continually evolving market. Tomorrow's products need development today.
Your company's expertise can pose a risk: the risk of overconfidence. New products must navigate the narrow gap between radical change and timid increments. Too radical and your product won't be adopted, too timid and nobody will notice the change. Both of these are huge risks.
We work with your executive team to develop methods and processes for systematically reducing product risk:
New market exploration
Simply put: does your market exist, or do you think it exists, or do you merely want it to exist? These are humbling, introspective questions for a leader to ask. But they are critically important. We will work with your teams to establish methods for stress-testing your journey to market validation.
Customer discovery
Describe the user who will benefit from this product. What do they want? What causes them great frustration? What aspect of their job, routine, or daily lives would they pay dearly to improve? We employ a process that helps your teams arrive at a detailed, accurate describe this person. All you have to do is go talk to them.
Roadmap and lifecycle
Where is this all going? Customer want you to change colors, bump the font size, add a button. Prospects want to wait until the next release… and then the next one. Investors need you to have a strategy for emerging trends. Your team wants to build what's right. Do you know what that is? We work with you to process these requests rationally and methodically. So that you can invest with confidence.
Value proposition
Yes, but what do it do for me? Feature isn't function, and function isn't value. Can you offer a concise and consistent explanation for the real value of your product? Remember, value is derived from risk – so what are the risks that your product or service eliminates or mitigates for your customer? We will bring you along a journey of risk discovery that ends in value creation for all.

Continuous means "uninterrupted in time, sequence, substance, or extent". Continues improvement sounds so good, doesn't it? But that is not the sort of improvement experienced by organizations going over to Scrum.
In my intro to Scrum classes, students create different types of paper airplanes, measure the distance that they fly, and then modify the planes to make them fly further. The students collect data on the distance that each type of plane flies after each throw. A typical chart looks like this:
Plane #1 Plane #2
Throw #1 5 8
Throw #2 3 13
Throw #3 10 20
Throw #4 11 14
Throw #5 10 25
The planes always fly further in the last throw than they did in the first throw–but the improvement is almost never a straight line. If the team were to quit as soon as they stopped continuously improving, the planes would never reach their full potential.
An organization transitioning to Scrum is likely to have many things changing at once. People are changing roles, the work tempo is changing, interactions with customer are changing. Much is going on. At any given time, the organization will often find that some things will be getting better and some things will be getting worse.
If the organization expects "continuous improvement," then it is likely to be continuously disappointed.

Hurricane Harvey continues to take more lives as it spun across southeast Texas into Louisiana on Wednesday.
Harvey has already forced 32,000 people into shelters since coming ashore last Friday and is been seen as the most powerful hurricane to hit Texas in half a century. On Wednesday, it pummeled the coast from Port Arthur, Texas, to Lake Charles, Louisiana.
While Harvey has weakened to a tropical depression on Wednesday night, the US National Hurricane Center continues to warn people that "catastrophic and life threatening flooding will continue in and around Houston, Beaumont/Port Arthur, eastward into southwest Louisiana for the rest of the week."
Busloads of people fleeing floodwaters around Port Arthur arrived in Lake Charles, joining residents who had packed into shelters to escape waterlogged homes. About 250,000 homes and businesses were without power in Texas and Louisiana, figures from four utilities showed.
Harvey was forecast to drop a further 4 to 8 inches ( 10 to 20 cms) of rain on Wednesday, with a storm surge of up to 4 feet (1.2 m) along the western part of Louisiana's Gulf Coast, although the Houston area was finally expected to get a break, with no rain forecast for Thursday or Friday.
The floods shut the nation's largest oil refinery in Port Arthur in the latest hit to US energy infrastructure that has sent gasoline prices climbing and disrupted global fuel supplies.
Moody's Analytics is estimating the economic cost from Harvey for southeast Texas at $51 billion to $75 billion, ranking it among the costliest storms in US history.
At least $23 billion worth of property has been affected by flooding from Harvey just in parts of Texas' Harris and Galveston counties, a Reuters analysis of satellite imagery and property data showed.
"The worst is not yet over for southeast Texas, as far as the rain is concerned," Governor Greg Abbott said.
He warned residents of storm-hit areas to expect floodwaters to linger for up to a week and said the area affected was larger than that hit by 2005's Hurricane Katrina, which killed more than 1,800 people in New Orleans, and 2012's Superstorm Sandy, which killed 132 around New York and New Jersey.
Houston's metropolitan area, with an economy about as large as Argentina's, has a population of about 6.5 million, far greater than New Orleans' at the time of Katrina. Abbott asked that the federal government spend more on rebuilding Texas' Gulf Coast than it did after the earlier storms.
A day after visiting Texas to survey the damage, US President Donald Trump pledged on Wednesday to stand by the people of Texas and Louisiana.
"We are here with you today … and we will be with you every single day after to restore, recover and rebuild," he said during an appearance in Springfield, Missouri.
Clear skies in Houston on Wednesday brought relief to the energy hub and fourth-largest US city after five days of catastrophic downpours. The first flight out of Houston since the storm hit had boarded, city officials said on Wednesday evening. Mayor Sylvester Turner said he hoped the port of Houston would reopen soon. But disruptions lingered and even some of the people helping evacuees in Houston said they had lost their homes.

Graduate Painter Selected to Exhibit Work in Chicago M.F.A. Biennial
Teona Yamanidze G'18, a graduate studio arts student in the College of Visual and Performing Arts' School of Art, was selected from a nationwide pool of master of fine arts (M.F.A.) artists to participate in the "National Wet Paint MFA Biennial 2018" in Chicago through Feb. 12.
The "National Wet Paint MFA Biennial" is an outlook and an overview of emerging artists across the United States currently working in the medium of painting. "Wet Paint" refers to the idea that this is a fresh group of artists; they are M.F.A. candidates or recent M.F.A. recipients. The exhibition consists of 38 paintings selected from more than 250 submissions.
The exhibition takes place in the expansive gallery of the Zhou B Art Center in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood and is curated and organized by Sergio Gomez, the center's curator and exhibitions director. All of the works in the exhibition will be permanently available at www.artsy.net.
Yamanidze is a New York-based Georgian artist who holds a bachelor of arts degree in visual arts from the State Academy of Fine Arts in Tbilisi, Georgia. In 2011 she was awarded the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant from Canada and Research Scholarship from the Ministry of Culture in Georgia that gave her an opportunity to study at University of the Arts London. While obtaining a postgraduate degree she became deeply invested in using documentary photos from hostilities. Her final degree show was concerned with the unknown facts from the 2008 war in Georgia.
Yamanidze's work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally, including at the Winzavod Center for Contemporary Art in Moscow, Berlin International Art Week, and MARS Modern Art Center in Moscow. She was also involved as an artist, curator and researcher in the exhibition "That Day Now: Shadows Cast by Hiroshima" at the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse. She is a recipient of the 2017 Edmund S. Muskie Fellowship for young leaders and is currently a Fulbright Scholar.

What I never Travel without/
I love to travel...it's like it's a part of my being. Who I am. I have not travelled nearly as much as perhaps you have who are reading this, but know that down to my innermost being, exploring is who I am.
But now I have two pint size versions of myself tagging along behind me as we race through airports, climb into Uber's and order fresh pretzels in Germany (ok, this last one, I cannot take credit for...I leave it up to my 8 year old nephew who is so fluent in German, it blows my mind!)
That being said, traveling with kids is a whole other ball game...they have meltdowns in the middle of the airport. They need outfit changes 30 000 feet up in the air. They want to run down the aisle of a high speed train. But, they also add so much color to a journey, and let's face it, a trip to remember.
In an effort to make your next trip as pain free as possible, here are what I never go without when traveling with kids (and no, putting them into the suitcase isn't one of them, although I can't say I haven't considered it)
- Bright colored clothing, think luminous (thanks to my sister in law for this one). Every parent knows that feeling when you lose sight of your toddler for just a split second. And while bright colored clothing won't stop them from playing hide and seek with you in a crowded place, it will make it easier for you to spot them.
- Entertainment - good old fashioned kind. Stickers, coloring books or water fun books. If you can, get crayons that have a triangular shape (I found these at checkers). You don't want to searching for those little critters under every seat on the plane.
- Comfort toy - In our house, Lily&Jack Bunny's reign and we never leave home without them. They help give your babies the reassurance of something familiar and comforting in a strange and new place
- Snacks & Water / Juice!! The worst thing is to have a "hangry" toddler because you're nowhere near a food stop or simple fussiness (which I know all too well). It seems obvious but I have them even when we fly; of course they're acceptable flying snacks - no yoghurt or such
- Meds! And no, I'm not referring to the 'knock out' kind (although I'm not totally opposed)...I mean, have you ever gone away and your kid gets sick in the middle of the night and you're scrambling because you don't have the correct medicine (or any) for them? Be prepared for any eventuality - fevers, runny tummy's, snotty noses, or even a scratch. Trying to get proper medicine in a foreign country, never mind in the middle of the night can be tricky so don't be caught with your pants down
**I have a toddler and a baby so obviously this will apply to you if your offspring falls in this age group 😉

Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi
Fathiers, also known as "space horses," were a species of non-sentient quadrupeds that resided in the galaxy. They were often used as mounts, and wealthy inhabitants of Kergans and Cantonica rode them in competition.
Biology and appearance
A non-sentient quadruped species, fathiers were distinguished by their long legs, brown fur, and large ears. Fathiers were capable of running at great speeds across various terrains, including beaches, fields, and cliff faces. Their speed made them sought after by wealthy residents of the galaxy, and the creatures were viewed as graceful and majestic. People that saw fathiers in person for the first time were often shocked by their size. When cooped up, fathiers required endurance exercises, so fathier transports were equipped with double-gravity chambers.
Fathiers were able to be domesticated, and they were used as mounts in competition. The inhabitants of the planet Cantonica exploited them in highly popular races on the Canto Bight racetracks, in which the animals suffered abuse.

Wikipedia entry
Thanks to Nathan for alerting me to this, and sorry I didn't post it earlier (I was out of town and fell pretty sick while I was traveling, so I've been out of commission for over a week).
A guy by the name of Soetermans took it upon himself to make some major edits to PoDW Wikipedia site, deleting a lot of stuff he (and he alone) claimed doesn't belong on Wikipedia. I think the admins intervened in the favor of the regular maintainers, but a lot of content that was once there is gone. If you have the inclination and time and aren't averse to editing Wikipedia (some people think that's the height of geekiness, but I think it embodies the original intent and ideals of the World Wide Web in many ways), please take a few moments to head over and add in whatever info you're willing.
Oh, and a note to the guy who insisted in the Discussion tab (sorry, I'm not a frequent contributer and am not up on my Wiki-jargon) that Frank Welker is the only voice actor for Niddler: actually, he isn't. I have VHS copies to prove that Roddy McDowall did do the original voice, and I swear I'll digitize them soon so everyone can see! (Not that I'm complaining about having a social life…it just makes my online presence more incidental and less regular.)
Maybe I'll ride this wave of guilt over letting this website just sit here and rot, and go back to my parents' place, pick up my copies of the VHS tapes, and go to our local Indian grocery and see about having them converted. I've been eyeing DVD-burner/VHS decks, too, so I can just do it myself. And TVs, because those are also kind of important. ;P It's been really nice living a TV-free existence, though I'd only be using it for movies and basic channels (reloading weather.com and searching for streaming webcasts of local weather when under a tornado warning is not ideal! But for Atlantans, 11alive.com does have one). I'll figure something out soon. And maybe I'll spend a weekend just catching up on website updates…it's so hard when the weather's so beautiful, though.

10 Things I Love About the Clarisonic Skin Care Brush
I recently purchased a Clarisonic Skin Care Brush after reading rave reviews on the web. My skin was feeling a little tired, dull and needed a pick me up! I always choose to use natural skin care as I like to keep chemicals to a minimum and with sensitive eyes natural is a must. The Clarisonic seemed the perfect solution, no chemicals!
I won't go in to the details and specifications of the device. You can read more on their website: www.clarisonic.com.au
10 Things I Love About the Clarisonic Skin Care Brush
1. Softer/smoother skin - you know when your skin feels rough to the touch in places like your nose and chin? That's what my skin was feeling like. I struggle with pores so this brush has been great for keeping them feeling clean and making my entire face feeling smooth! I can't use exfoliating creams any more, the last one I purchased broke me out in pimples which I've never experienced before so this brush has been the perfect remedy for avoiding harsh scrubs.
2. Products absorb better- Clarisonic says products absorb better when you use their brush and I noticed it immediately. When you put on your moisturiser it soaks right in. Gone are the days when you moisturiser sits on your face feeling oily and heavy. You'll get the benefits of your creams penetrating deeper into your skin too!
3. Better brows- Yes, this is a strange one but since using the Clarisonic brush my brows are looking fuller and sitting nicer! I'm sure it has to do with the exfoliating brush massaging and increasing blood flow to the skin around my brows encouraging hair growth. There's a well known celebrity brow technician who sells a brow scrub just for the eyebrows so I know this isn't a myth. The exfoliation has also help remove dull skin between my brow hairs - another reason why they sit nicer?
4. Less pimples - I don't get many pimples but I've had zero since using the Clarisonic over the past 3 months!
5. Less oil - I've noticed less oiliness in my t-zone throughout the day which is always a good thing.
6. It feels like a facial massage - the brush oscillates 300 times per second! It's not harsh at all and helps increase blood flow to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, etc.
7. It removes makeup- pop your cleanser on the brush, or directly on your face, and off you go (you just need to remove your eye makeup first though). I prefer to remove my makeup with the Oil Cleansing Method and use my regular cleanser with the Clarisonic afterwards or just in my morning routine only. I will blog about the Oil Cleansing Method one day soon but you can always Google it to read what I'm referring to.
8. It makes cleansing easy, fun and enjoyable! - if you're one of those people who doesn't enjoy taking your makeup off at the end of the day, this gadget will change that. The facial massage is reason alone to use it, but if that's not enough this device takes only 1 minute and you're done!
9. Makeup lasts longer- I've noticed a considerable change in how well my makeup lasts since using the Clarisonic. Why? The gentle exfoliation of the Clarisonic gets rid of all dull surface skin cells which tend to create a barrier to your makeup adhering well to your skin. The less 'junk' that sits between your skin and makeup the better your makeup will last and the smoother it will look.
10. Makeup looks more flawless - any makeup artist will tell you that exfoliating it the key to creating a smooth, flawless canvas for makeup (along with overall good skin care). Using the Clarisonic will exfoliate and ensure you're doing it frequently enough to make a difference.
Which Clarisonic brush is best?
I purchased the base model, the Mia. The higher models have more speed options and different brush heads. They come with a 3 month Feel and See Guarantee so if you don't like it you can get your money back. There's nothing I don't love about the Clarisonic - you can even use it in the shower! It's rechargeable and the battery lasts forever between charges.
Getting married and want great skin?
If you're getting married and you want to start taking care of your skin before your big day but don't want to spend lots of money on facials or treatments I highly recommend you check the Clarisonic out! It was actually one of my brides who recommended I try it.
For the price of a facial or two, you can have an at home device to use daily that will help keep your skin in shape. The Clarisonic may or may not be for you so do some research and take advantage of the Guarantee offer. You could spend so much money on products in hopes of creating beautiful skin. But if you're not putting these products on clean, exfoliated skin you won't see as great improvements. I truly believe in simple, natural skin care products and focusing on diet instead. I will blog about the natural skin care topic sometime soon!

Another round of storms is likely today, this time in Eastern and Central PA. The SPC has put much of Eastern PA and eastern parts of Northcentral PA under an enhanced risk today. Central PA is under a slight risk, with a marginal risk in western parts of the state. Below is a table explaining what each risk is.
Here is today's risk map:
The area most at risk for supercell thunderstorms capable of producing hail and a few tornadoes is Northeast PA. An organized line of strong to severe storms is then anticipated from the Lehigh Valley to the Susquehanna Valley, down into Philadelphia.
Although the threat for hail and tornadoes is somewhat less outside of Northeast PA, it still exists in all of Eastern and Central PA.
Altoona, State College, Williamsport, Montrose: 2-3 PM
Bedford, Carlisle, Harrisburg, Lebanon, Pottsville, Scranton, Honesdale: 3-4 PM

Jorge Lorenzo grabbed the lead in the riders' standings with an emphatic win at the Le Mans MotoGP, a race in which Marc Marquez crashed while running P4.
Lorenzo made a perfect start to the 28-lap Le Mans MotoGP as he used his pole position to grab the holeshot ahead of the Ducatis of Andrea Dovizioso and Andrea Iannone.
It set up an unchallenged victory for the Yamaha rider, who was in a class of his own.
He controlled the pace throughout the grand prix and raced from lights to flag to secure his fifth win in the premier class at the French circuit.
? A faultless performance from @lorenzo99, who takes the win at #FrenchGP!
— MotoGP™ (@MotoGP) May 8, 2016
With Dovizioso unable to make any inroads into Lorenzo's lead – and Marquez closing in after a poor start in which he lost positions off the line – his team-mate Iannone attacked him for second.
His run in P2, though, was short-lived as he crashed at Turn 8 on lap 6 as the front end of his Ducati washed away. Minutes later Cal Crutchlow went down at Turn 11. Tito Rabat hit the gravel a lap later at Turn 8 while Yonny Hernandez lost it at Turn 4.
With his team-mate out of the running the battle for the podium was between Dovizioso, Marquez and the ever-closing Valentino Rossi. The trio were racing wheel-to-wheel midway through the race with Rossi passing Marquez at Garage Vert and then taking Dovizioso at Museum on the very next lap.
Rossi was given a free run to second as Dovizioso and Marquez went down in tandem at Turn 7 on lap 16. The duo did not clash and in fact Marquez, trial Dovizioso, went down a split second before the Italian.
.@marcmarquez93 managed to rejoin but bearing some damage to his Honda, running down in 14th place.#FrenchGP https://t.co/P1vSdOM2y8
— MotoGP™ (@MotoGP) May 8, 2016
The result meant Lorenzo took the lead in the championship with 90 points while Marquez, who recovered to finish P13, dropped to second. He trails the Yamaha rider by 5 points. Rossi is 12 points off the pace.
With chaos in front of him, Suzuki's Maverick Vinales raced to his first podium finish in the MotoGP class ahead of Dani Pedrosa and Espargaro brothers. Pol beat Aleix on the day.
It was a great result for Danilo Petrucci as the Octo Pramac rider, returning from an injury lay-off, finished P7 ahead of Hector Barbera and Alvaro Bautista.
Stefan Bradl was P10 on a day where only 13 riders completed the race.
Bradley Smith and Jack Miller also crashed out while Scott Redding retired early in the race with a technical issue.

GPOP Signals New Era for Western Sydney/
The Western Sydney Leadership Dialogue has welcomed the Greater Sydney Commission's (GSC) Greater Parramatta Olympic Peninsula (GPOP), which sets an important vision for one of the country's most significant growth corridors.
"The GSC has proved exactly why we need its strategic planning, its creative contribution and its ambitious vision with the delivery of its GPOP plan. They have listened, learned and led the debate toward a more vibrant, productive and liveable corridor between Parramatta and Strathfield," Western Sydney Leadership Dialogue Chairman, Christopher Brown AM, said.
"The GPOP plan will make for a wonderful 'front door' to Western Sydney, and speaks of a precinct which will house great jobs, attract and retain global talent and calibrate the right mix of living, learning and earning."
Mr Brown said the GPOP plan highlighted the importance of the NSW Government's Parramatta Light Rail project, which connects major precincts along the corridor, while also establishing a new benchmark for all Sydney councils when it comes to setting growth targets.
"They have laid out a challenge to government to deliver the transport solutions the corridor needs, to industry to bring the jobs, investment, homes and dynamism required and to the community to take advantage of the consultative platform."
"Parramatta and Westmead are already economic powerhouses that are getting even better. Camellia and Olympic Park are the communities of the future, which have to be activated, densified and reshaped to deliver massive economic and social dividends."
Mr Brown added that the Greater Sydney Commission, led by its Chief Commissioner, Lucy Turnbull, CEO, Sarah Hill and all of the district commissioners, should be congratulated for the ambition, and focus, they've secured for Western Sydney, and importantly, their commitment to listening to the region's diverse communities.
"The GSC has shown that it is a willing collaborator and in developing its GPOP vision, has established a blueprint that respects the needs and views of its people, and ensures the gateway to Western Sydney will deliver on its potential," he said.

Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) have revolutionized solar financing by allowing businesses to lock in (nearly) risk-free savings for $0 down. The concept is simple: a third party pays for the installation of solar on a business' roof, charges the business nothing up-front, but locks the business into a long-term (usually 20 year) contract to buy the energy produced from the solar installation at a predetermined rate (the PPA rate) with a fixed escalator (usually around 1–2% per year).

Nabis: Bringing Technology to Cannabis Distribution/
In this week's episode, Brandon welcomes Vince Ning, CEO of Nabis, to the show. Vince is not your average young founder. He's already been a part of Y-Combinator and sold his first company to Amazon. After that experience, he turned his sights to cannabis. Seeing an opportunity to disrupt incumbents like RVR, CannaCraft, and Indus, Vince and his team built a low-cost, tech-based solution for cannabis brands. In less than 2 years, they've built a network to cover the entire state, have dozens of top level brands (like Canndescent, California Dreamin, and Flower Co), and are one of the fastest growing distributors in California. Tune in, listen up, and get acquainted with Vince of Nabis!

I feel it is my duty to bring to light what is going on around ex-gay or "gay cure" items and the changes that are happening under our nose. Especially since I buckled down and tried these type things to "change" myself for about 10+ years or so. My book Discoveries in the Closet lays it all out for you. And let me tell you, though Exodus International closed it has re-formed with clever new language under Exodus Global and a new NARTH like organization has rebranded. The bump in the conversion therapy road has only gotten people to change names and web pages. We now also have the Restored Hope Network in addition to that. Instead of People Can Change, they changed names and their brand into The Brother's Road. By the way, the Brother's Road recommends as a resource a camp right here in Michigan called EdgeVenture whose founder does not reveal his past leadership roles in such organizations. If you go to EdgeVenture and struggle with a homosexual identity you can imagine the kind of spiritual direction you will get. We also have instead of N.A.R.T.H., The Alliance and the Journal of Healthy Sexuality. Now, don't get me wrong. I believe people have the right in America to do and go to these things. What I take issue is their message that they are the true, healthiest, authentic perspective and practice to be had for those who struggle with accepting a homosexual identity. This is America and you should be able to do what you want to do. So I'm not against the choice being there but I also have a voice and the right to call bullshit when I see it as well as point out that things are dangerous.
We have a new masking of sorts. I recently clicked on a Facebook page called "God Loves Homosexuals" and come to find out it promotes the "change" or cure industry. There is no focus on God loving gays. It leads you to their website of the same name godloveshomosexuals.com. Their "education" page consists of one video of a white woman speaking. Talk about diversity. They have more testimonies than education videos which says a lot. On their resources page there is a link to something called The Alliance for Theraputic Choice and Scientific Integrity. Since there is no longer any "N.A.R.T.H." page with the passing of its founder, a Dr. Joseph Nicolossi, it appears this has popped up which is essentially N.A.R.T.H. on steroids. NARTH is not something from the old Mork and Mindy TV show. It stands for the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality. And it was shocking to discover that she apparently has went a float. But, not really....a few clicks away and I found this site called The Alliance.
A whole new face and league of un-extraordinary gentlemen and women are listed here like an ex-gay Hogwarts. They display their resume as clinicians with broad expertise but just so happen to be laser focused on conversion therapy and masking it as not only good science and therapy practices but a truly unbiased, authentic choice. They not only have a referral system but also "Alliance" conferences. While a person might think that this is a group of clinicians and researchers who want to defend and support those who want faith values implemented in their therapy, it all comes down to one thing if you click around the page long enough--trying to change "same sex attraction". It is not a broad range of religious and moral topics they feel other clinicians dismiss but rather just one--being able to rid yourself of homosexual desires.
Newsflash #1: Joseph Nicolossi's work and those supporting it are prominent resources throughout page. He was the founder of Reparative Therapy and N.A.R.T.H. which is conversion therapy rebranded. This is clearly a webpage that is an arm of the deceased Nicolossi whose organization appears to be no more. At least, I can no longer find their webpage. Alliance has also worked to get themselves out from under the word conversion therapy or reparative therapy. They insist :
- "The terms "conversion therapy" and "reorientation therapy" are used by political activists as pejoratives and are unrelated to the work of Alliance clinicians.
- "We advocate the practice of mainstream, standard clinical models, approaches, and techniques. For example, Alliance clinicians use cognitive-behavioral and dialectical-behavioral therapies, EMDR and other trauma interventions, solution-focused and narrative therapy, psychodynamic, and experiential therapies such as psychodrama and gestalt, and many others."
News flash #2: Trauma interventions, narrative, cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodrama and gestalt like models have made up conversion therapy for years. It is not like we have stepped into conversion therapy booths in the past hoping to pull off a Clark Kent to Superman change but now Alliance type therapists came along and got rid of the booths and use only traditional approved models. It has all been cognitive and behavioral with a heavy mix of gestalt and psychodrama stuff tucked in a negative homosexual slant. Period. End of story. I've been there to see it myself. However, what Alliance has managed to do is get what they practice changed from conversion therapy to what they call "SAFE-T" which stands for sexual attraction fluidity exploration in therapy. If you explore their "Key Organizational Document" page you will see as I did that their contention is that if we are all on a spectrum, we are all fluid and that change can go from hetrosexual to homosexual and vice versa at any point via their recommended therapy. The issue here is though they recognize a concept of sexual fluidity, they say it is a matter of choice, a method of practice. Again, just like Narth and all conversion therapy, they continue to focus on the words "unwanted same sex attraction" but also change that out with a more clinical sounding term of sexual fluidity exploration.
Newsflash #3: Alliance refers people to clearly ex-gay organizations like the Restored Hope Network, Exodus Global Alliance....wait, wasn't Exodus closed up? Yep. I even wrote about it my book but as of 2018 it too has reformed. You can read about the new Exodus Global Alliance here.
What a coincidence that this scientific, unbiased "alliance" of clinicians refers you to these religious organizations as well as Catholic and Mormon ones. All of which I will tell you right now, when you break it down, see homosexuality not just as "unwanted" but as a sin punishable by eternal damnation. Dress it up all you want, that is what it comes down to for them. So those coming to the Alliance page should not be fooled that they are neutral on this matter or that their "science" is unbiased which all good science requires.
Newsflash #4: This website will also refer you to a web page called "The Journal of Human Sexuality". The web page starts with a quote from Pope John Paul II. Well, that is highly scientific and unbiased isn't it? I don't have a problem with the Pope at all. I like John Paul II. However, if you are journal of science and sexuality that we are to take as unbiased, a picture and quote from the Pope via the Cathoilc Church is not good for a "scientific journal". In addition, all the journals on this page are documents that contain the writings of Joseph Nicolosi or other lead conversion therapy advocates over the years like Neil Whitehead.
I propose that if you are exploring sexual fluidity and it truly is in our hands as to choice, than where are the numbers of the people that you are helping to change from their "unwanted hetrosexual desires" so they can embarce their gay identity? Where is your research on that if you are truly unbiased and believing in all sexual fluidity? Things that make you go...come on!
I remember sitting in a circle of men once where a guy shared how he was living with a male partner for years and then after that they broke up. He later met a female who he fell in love with and they became partners. I asked him what he thought about that transition. He said he never gave it much thought. It just happened. He never once hated or found either attraction as unwanted. He didn't purposely set out to change his attractions, it just happened. When I heard the story, neither was I was concerned by the transition because he wasn't at any time fighting one attraction over another. It just happened without thought or effort.
Another mistake this Alliance organization makes is assuming that therapists out there somehow struggle in respecting a clients faith or moral values just because most therapist now accept the APA's declaration that homosexuality is not a mental illness. They speak a lot on this page of "conservative therapists" being rejected and dismissed. Should your therapists political bias be distinguished? That somehow, just because there is a league of therapists willing to go along with conversion therapy, they are the only ones respecting all faith values? Not all faiths even continue to buy into the diagnoses that homosexuality is morally objectionable. They also go on further and very arrogantly seem to claim that they are the ones holding to scientific integrity. Scientific integrity about what? Well about the truth of homosexuality of course! What else? Nevertheless, their bias is shown all over this page.
For example, they espouse books by Joseph Nicolossi that have quotes of praise on the back covers from what is supposed to be broad range of highly notable clinicians. Yet are they broad and objective if those quotes are ONLY from clinicians who have practiced ex-gay ministry and reparative therapy for years? I know because I've been to conferences where these people providing recommendations spoke years ago. I've heard them speak, read the books.
My concern about all this is this web page is promoting itself as a clinical group of medical researchers holding to scientific integrity and being non bias when this is not really the case. They pose themself as some kind of neutral scientific researchers that are set apart from bias they are a victim to, and yet they very biasly focus on a right wing extremist view of "unwanted same sex" desires. I wonder if they can truly explore what it is that is "unwanted" behind the indoctrinated (both religious and societal) "faith values" or "moral values" they cling so tightly to. I propose that Alliance is doing exactly what they claim a biased academia and other clinicians outside their own spectrum have done--focusing on one subset of people and a politically motivated viewpoint. For example, while they propose research done supporting homosexuality as not a choice was led by a team of LGBTQ therapists and conservative therapists were dismissed, their own research and materials are by people within the conversion therapy movement for years, who are tied to evangelical organizations. How is that any different? How is that any less unbiased? I can say from my own experience with many therapists, and many type of therapists (from Christian, pastoral, to analytical, LGBTQ accepting, coaches, eclectic etc.) Alliance's proposed conclusions are much more a closed minded, bias viewpoint than I have ever experienced with a gay accepting therapist or healer. I have only been rejected over my sexual exploration by Christian and pastoral therapists, never ones who were pro-gay even when I was still ex-gay. This is no different than Exodus Global trying to break down "change" as though they don't advocate it, and yet having qoutes scroll through that read "There is freedom from homosexuality through Jesus Christ".
Finally, here are some interesting questions and answers from Alliances FAQ page
11. Are there increased psychological and physical health risks associated with homosexual behavior?
Yes. While some statements have been made claiming health equivalency between homosexual and heterosexual populations, the facts are that individuals who engage in homosexual behavior have a significantly greater risk for some physical and psychological health problems compared to heterosexually oriented individuals. For example, there is a 1.4% per-act probability of HIV transmission for anal sex and a 40.4% per-partner probability (Beyrer, et al., 2012). This is roughly 18 times greater than the estimated risk for vaginal intercourse.
Regarding elevated psychiatric risk, the stress of sexual-minority status appears to play a role, but other factors that are rarely if ever studied (e.g., perceptual and coping styles of homosexually oriented persons, and their manner of responding to loss of a romantic relationship) may also play a role in homosexuality. Support for this reasoning is found in the fact that sexual minorities in The Netherlands also show an elevated level of psychiatric problems (e.g., anxiety, depression, suicidality), despite the fact that The Netherlands is a country that prides itself on being welcoming to homosexuals and has widely expanded the scope of gay rights (de Graaf, Sandfort, & ten Have, 2006; Sandfort, et al., 2001).
(Notice in this next one, that they use older N.A.R.T.H. documents as a resource with the links)
13. I heard that Sexual orientation change was discredited by the American Psychological Association? What about the 2009 APA task force on Sexual Orientation Change Efforts?
Sexual orientation change efforts is a term created by the task force and one that the Alliance would not use to identify the work of our therapists. That being said, the task force was formed to provide guidance to psychologists working with individuals who were experiencing conflicts with their homosexual attractions by reviewing the relevant literature. The task force "…concluded that there is little in the way of credible evidence that could clarify whether "SOCE" does or does not work in changing same-sex attractions" (APA, 2009, p. 28). While the Alliance concurs with some points made in the study, we see it as flawed from the outset. First, all of the highly qualified conservative psychologists who were nominated to serve on the task force were rejected. The director of the APA's Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Concerns Office, Clinton Anderson, offered the following defense: "We cannot take into account what are fundamentally negative religious perceptions of homosexuality—they don't fit into our world view" (Carey, 2007). Such comments support the contention that the APA leadership constitutes a "tribal-moral" community united by a particular set of "sacred values" that will embrace science when it supports their ideals but ignore or distort it as soon as it threatens a "sacred" (foundational) value (Tierney, 2011). In addition, the task force set unrealistically high standards for methodological purity in order to find grounds to dismiss any literature that supported "change" therapies (Jones, Rosik, Williams, & Byrd, 2010). By limiting the composition of the task force to gay therapists and their closely associated allies and refusing to consider research that contradicted the anti-change predisposition of task force members it is not surprising that the report that had little positive to say about it.

A Formal Response to the Report of the American Psychological Association Task Force, http://narth.com/2011/01/a-formal-response-to-the-report-of-the-american-psychological-association-task-force/
15. What is homophobia? Are Alliance supporters homophobic?
The term "homophobia" is often used inaccurately to describe any person who objects to homosexual behavior on either moral, psychological or medical grounds. Technically, however, the terms actually denotes a person who has a phobia--or irrational fear--of homosexuality. Principled disagreement, therefore, cannot be labeled "homophobia."
The shortcomings of the terminology of homophobia have led to it being largely abandoned in academic circles, but its ongoing rhetorical and political effectiveness ensures that accusations of homophobia will continue to be a prime weapon in the cultural debates over the moral, legal, and political status of homosexual behavior. That being said, the Alliance (ATCSI) is not a homophobic organization. Those who level such charges appear interested in partisan advantage rather than serious discussions about the deeper issues of values, morality, and the limits of science.
So what does this all mean? It means we can't rest on our laurels. Not in this age of rising racism and ignorance and amnesia to past horrors as an acceptable platform. As we who are LGBTQ find ourselves more and more accepted in society and some religious institutions, we cannot forget that there are those out there who honestly see soul genoicide of homosexuals via the nails of the cross of Christ as perfectly moral and the right thing to encourage. Be forewarned and ready to empathetically answer people. Reactions of rage and hate will only fuel their belief that you are more wounded and biased than authentic and moral. Listen to hear rather than listen to answer. Discuss rather than argue and realize this takes time.

Writing Every Day for Thirty-One Days
Encountering Abba's Heart
Day 19: Honor
Little girl looked up at Abba and thought about what she'd been through. He looked down at her, comprehending all her thoughts. She knew she'd been rescued. She knew she'd been saved from difficulty.
Little girl was so thankful for the life she'd found in Abba. She was so grateful for a home and a family, but most of all she was so grateful for the love of Abba. She knew unequivocally that his love was real, more real than anything she'd ever experienced in her life before.
Little girl had always dreamed and believed for such a life and she finally found it. Or better said, it finally found her. Abba sought little girl out and found her. Abba wanted her as a part of his family and he went and got her and rescued her.
What a beautiful story she was a part of and she knew it. She knew she was blessed to be a part of his family and a part of him. Even at five years old, she knew she had everything she'd ever need and want in Abba.

So I'm kind of obsessed with simple syrups this summer. Especially ginger simple syrup. It's so tasty and so easy to make! I picked this up from my foodiest friend and thought I'd share the recipe-joy here. I'll also give you an idea for something to do with it (a cocktail or a "mocktail", depending on whether or not you want bourbon in it. I usually just prefer mocktails.)
Ginger simple syrup goes a little like this:
Ingredients: 1 cup sugar 1 cup water 1 piece (a big piece... maybe as long as your hand) fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
Directions: In a medium saucepan, bring the sugar and water to a boil, stirring frequently. Once the sugar is dissolved, add ginger and bring to another boil. Remove from heat, and let steep 30 minutes (longer if you want it spicier). Pour syrup through a sieve into an airtight container; discard ginger. Can be refrigerated for up to 1 month. (But you'll probably run out before that!)
So yum.
And here's what I do with it:
Leave out the bourbon if you want a mocktail. It's very delish on a hot summer afternoon. Hope you enjoy!

Written by: Dr. Jacquie Jacob, University of Kentucky
Blackhead, also referred to as histomoniasis, is a disease caused by the protozoan Histomonas meleagridis. This disease initially affects the intestinal ceca and liver, causing tissue destruction. This disease primarily affects turkeys, but other poultry species can be infected as well. Pheasants, ducks, and geese appear to be immune to the effects of blackhead. Chickens are somewhat resistant to blackhead. Turkeys and peafowl are the most susceptible.
A healthy flock can be infected in several ways. Histomonas can be ingested by common earthworms and survive inside them for extended periods. When these worms are consumed by birds, the birds become infected. Blackhead can also infect a common internal parasite called the cecal worm. This worm is very small and rarely causes harm to the host. When mature cecal worms produce eggs, the eggs are shed in the host's droppings. Histomonas can penetrate the eggs of the cecal worms and live inside them. Birds become infected with both cecal worms and blackhead when they consume cecal worm eggs.
Clinical signs of blackhead include yellow droppings and reddening of the skin and muscles. The disease derives its name from the dark red skin of infected birds. The disease develops slowly, and an infected bird will lose much of its breast muscle because it is too sick to eat.
There are no medications currently approved for use against blackhead. The one medication available was recently taken off the market because of possible health risks to people.
A good biosecurity program can help prevent infection of a flock. Nitarsone (sold under the brand name Histostat-50) is a drug that can be added to feed to prevent blackhead. It is only a preventative medication; it is not effective in treating flocks that are already showing clinical signs of infection. It is important to note, however, that Histotat-50 is toxic to waterfowl, so ducks, geese, and so on should not have access to medicated feed. Preventative measures also include regular removal of manure from turkey pens and deworming birds to eliminate the cecal worm load. It is recommended that turkeys not be ranged on pasture used by chickens within the past three years.

Cinnamon, Coconut and Raisin Biscuits
Every two weeks we will be collaborating with the extremely talented and gorgeous Eleanor, who is the creator of Petite Kitchen. All her recipes are gluten free, sugar free, additive and preservative free and are easy to make! Eleanor started her blog just over six months ago and it already has had alot of success. We are obsessed! If you haven't checked out her blog then have a look at all her amazing recipes. This week I will be posting a blog post on the benefits of Cinnamon and we will be posting a Cinnamon, Coconut and Raisin Biscuit recipe created by Petite Kitchen. YUM!
The Benefits of Cinnamon
Cinnamon is a super spice that should be included in everyones diet daily. Cinnamon is harvested by the Cinnamon tree, the shoots from the roots are stripped off the bark, and left to dry. When dried each quill consists of stripes from numerous shoots packed together. It is then ground and this is the powdered cinnamon we often use. Cinnamon contains calcium, fiber, iron and manganese.
Cinnamon has antimicrobial properties that can be used as an alternative to traditional food preservatives. The antimicrobial properties come from Cinnamons essential oils, these stop the growth of bacteria as well as fungi, including the common yeast infection Candida. It helps in destroying germs in the gallbladders and bacteria in staph infections.
Cinnamon aids in digestion because its components stimulate gastric acid that help to break down the food. It helps to metabolize fats in the digestive process by increasing enzymatic activity.
Cinnamon has remarkable effects in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance. It works by lowering blood sugar by decreasing insulin resistance. Cinnamon has an affinity for the uterus and digestive organs because it improves circulation and energy flow in the abdomen. It circulates the energy to the rest of the body, which has a warming effect.
Other medicinal benefits are antiseptic, antiviral, calming for anxiety, helps to lower blood pressure, chewing cinnamon sticks can relieve toothache and freshen breath, helps to regulate periods. When Cinnamon is used in cooking and baking there is no need to do anything to it. It is very easy to use as it can be sprinkled or added on food without any preparation needed. This is why this herb should be encouraged because it's so easy to use and tastes great!

Cinnamon, Coconut and Raisin Biscuits
These soft and chewy cinnamon biscuits are naturally sweetened with raisins, and have a base of almonds, making them dairy, gluten and sugar free. The perfect guilt free treat, when you are craving something a little sweet.
1 cup raisins, soaked for at least 2 hours, then drained (you can also use medjool dates)
1 cup ground almonds
1/2 cup organic almond butter (you can also use peanut butter)
1/2 cup shredded coconut, plus a little extra for decorating
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking soda
Preheat the oven to 180°C, and line two baking trays with baking paper.In a food processor add the raisins, almonds, almond butter, coconut, cinnamon, vanilla and baking soda. Process until a dough like texture is achieved (usually a couple of minutes). You may need to scrape down the sides a little. You can add more almond flour if the dough is a little wet.Using your hands, form small balls and place them on to the baking paper, a couple of centimeters apart as they expand a little.
Using a fork or your hands, press down on each ball to flatten in half. Sprinkle each biscuit with shredded coconut.
Place in to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until nice and golden on the outside.
Leave to cool completely.
Makes around 35 biscuits, they keep for 3-4 days in an airtight container.
