(KANSAS CITY, Mo.) Aug. 11, 2016 – The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation announced today the recipients of the Kauffman Junior Faculty Fellowship in Entrepreneurship Research (KJFF). The Fellows were recognized over the weekend at the Academy of Management annual meeting in Anaheim, Calif. The program recognizes junior faculty members in the United States whose research has the potential to make significant contributions to the body of literature in entrepreneurship. Each Fellow's university will receive a grant of $35,000 over several years to support the research activities of the Fellow.
"Supporting new and emerging scholars studying entrepreneurship helps us identify important new trends in entrepreneurship," said Dane Stangler, vice president of Research & Policy at the Foundation. "The Fellows' future research will be translated into knowledge with application for policymakers, educators, service providers and entrepreneurs on several topics, including the important effects that local policies have on entrepreneurial activity, how cultural and institutional mechanisms produce gender inequalities in entrepreneurship, and hiring patterns and practices by new companies."
The 2016 Junior Faculty Fellows, along with their university affiliations, are:
Erik P. Gilje, University of Pennsylvania
Laura Huang, University of Pennsylvania
Amol M. Joshi, Oregon State University
Elena Kulchina, Duke University
Elizabeth Lyons, University of California, San Diego
Mahka Moeen, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Richard Townsend, University of California, San Diego
The KJFF is one of several programs in the Kauffman Entrepreneurship Scholars initiative, which supports the overall goal of building the field of entrepreneurship research. The initiative, which includes the KJFF, Kauffman Dissertation Fellowships and the Ewing Marion Kauffman Prize Medal for Distinguished Research in Entrepreneurship, along with doctoral training programs that assist talented emerging scholars in their efforts to earn doctoral degrees, encourages scholars to conduct research early in their careers and recognizes ground-breaking research—all with a focus on entrepreneurship and innovation.
Over the past decade, Kauffman Entrepreneurship Scholars have gone on to do exceptional work in entrepreneurship and innovation, and have contributed to developing what is now a dynamic field of study. The Foundation's Entrepreneurship Scholars initiative supports and recognizes achievements at each career level of an academic professional.
Previous research out of this initiative has contributed much of the Kauffman Foundation's knowledge on emerging topics such as crowdfunding, accelerators and gender issues. Meeting these scholars early on in their careers helps add to our network of entrepreneurial scholars, who together, will continue to build and grow this field of research.
"We look forward to working with these scholars for years to come and seeing how our understanding of entrepreneurship is improved through their research," said Stangler.

Last October I reviewed an early Wodehouse novel called A Gentleman of Leisure, which was first published in 1910. It was interesting but flawed--Wodehouse couldn't seem to decide whether he was writing a serious novel with comedic overtones, or a farce. The plot was delightfully absurd, but the characters were too real, as were the consequences if their schemes came to naught. By 1915's Something Fresh, the first Blandings novel, he'd worked out the breezy style that makes his farces so enjoyable.
All of which means that I was completely unprepared for the present work, A Damsel in Distress. It was first published in 1919, after he'd got the bugs out, and so I was expecting a typical Wodehouse farce. And to my great and exceeding surprise, it's not a farce at all. Instead, it's a genuine comedy of manners. The characters are finely drawn and realistic, and the plot is no more far-fetched than any romantic comedy.
The difference between this book and Wodehouse's other novels is only highlighted by its resemblance to Blandings. Like Lord Emsworth in the early Blandings novels, Lord Marshmoreton only wants to be left alone to putter in his garden. Like Lord Emsworth, he is afflicted by an efficient secretary, a young woman named Alice Faraday, and an old battleaxe of a sister, Lady Caroline. His son Percy is a conceited snob of the first water, but his daughter Maud (the Damsel of the title) is a peach. She wants to marry an American fellow she met on vacation in Wales, but Lady Caroline and her brother Percy will have none of it, and confine her to quarters in the stately family home.
It all seems straightforward enough, and tolerably Blandings-like; and yet, Belpher Castle isn't simply Blandings Castle with the serial numbers filed off. Rather, it's the real thing, the model from which Blandings Castle was drawn. Blandings, Bertie, Jeeves, the Drones Club, all of them inhabit a dream of England in which the World Wars never came, in which a good silk top hat and a properly tied tie were the key to society, and in which nothing bad ever really happens to upper class twits. In this dream of England, most of the stories are indeed love stories; you have to hang the plot on something, after all. But here we have a tale of the real England, where consequences are real and where the hero really might not get the girl.
The tone is light, to be sure, and I frequently stopped to laugh out loud, but the undertone is deeply serious--and honestly, is there is anything more serious, at root, than a solid romantic comedy? It's funny precisely because the consequences are so serious.
Anyway, I enjoyed this as much as anything I've read in a great while. It warmed my heart and lifted my spirits, and I could wish that he'd written more books in the same vein.
Apropos of nothing, and at the risk of lowering the tone of this review, Jane insisted that I quote one paragraph from the later part of the book:
There was, so the historians of the Middle West tell us, a man of Chicago named Young, who once, when his nerves were unstrung, put his mother (unseen) in the chopping-machine, and canned her and labelled her "Tongue."
The Wodehouse wit is here in full flower. Go thou, and read.Posted by Will Duquette at May 28, 2004 09:46 PM

GAYLORD — Abigail Koprowicz started the new year with a journey to the country of Costa Rica where she spent four months living and learning.
While she did some research on the country, Koprowicz admitted to not really knowing what was in store for her when she started out.
Facts, like Costa Rica being one of the greenest countries in the world, were all that she had to equip herself with.
A graduate of St. Mary Cathedral School, Koprowicz is now a senior at Aquinas College.
Majoring in Sustainable Business with a focus in Environmental Anthropology, the Study Abroad program to Costa Rica was perfect for her. With 4 to 5 percent of the world's biodiversity and with such courses as Tropical Ecology, both Costa Rica and the program not only went hand in hand with her major, but also her interests.

Introduce yourself!
Hello! My name is Amy and I am the Refugee and Community Programs Summer Programs Summer Student. I am a fourth year Arts student at UBC majoring in psychology.
What should I have for dinner tonight?
If I'm going out to eat, my favourite restaurants are Oyama in Burnaby or Gyo-o in Richmond. Both serve Japanese food and are delicious options!
What should I watch tonight?
Friends is my absolute favourite TV series. I've watched each episode so many times I can recite most of the lines along with the actors! If you're looking for some more recent TV shows, I really enjoy Modern Family as well as Silicon Valley. Both are hilarious and have me laughing out loud.
What's your favourite thing to do in the summer?
Walking around outside and chatting with friends while soaking in the sun. Garry Point Park in Richmond is one of my favourite places to walk around.
Where can I find you in 10 years?
I'm not sure yet. Hopefully I will have found the direction I'm looking for and will be working in a field that I'm passionate about, doing something I love or at the very least, will have discovered what it is I want to do! Outside of professional life I hope to be living with a Pembroke Welsh corgi named Boris. Hopefully I will have tons of stories to share from a trip across Canada too.
How did you discover DIVERSEcity?
Through the co-op program that I am in. I was drawn to apply because I've recently learned that I'm interested in social policy and social services, and saw that this position would allow me to gain some experience and exposure in just that. It was also exciting to see that the position entailed many responsibilities that I've never had before. Professional growth and new experiences are attractive when you're looking for a job! I hope by the end of the summer this experience will give me a better understanding of where I can be found in 10 years, so I can more accurately answer that question the next time you ask me 😉
Anything else I should know about you?
I've recently come to the embarrassing conclusion that I'm afraid of just about all animals when they're outside roaming free, in their natural habitats. This includes birds, squirrels, mice, and most bugs and insects but what I'm most terrified of are cats. It doesn't help that my neighbours love letting their cats roam around our neighbourhood either, or that some of my friends own cats.

How to fight loneliness
Dress: Topshop (old)//Satchel: Dorothy Perkins//Shoes: UO (sale)
I'm glad everyone enjoyed my boss' delightful little email. So only 5 days to go now. I am starting to get a little apprehensive about the impending job hunt, even if there are a couple of little things I can be tinkering with as I look. I'm most worried about losing my sanity, sat at home on my own (with the cat at least), but hopefully that won't happen. It can be hard to stay motivated when you're alone, and feel isolated compared to everyone else going out, having a life, working 9-5..
If all else fails I will go to Mexico for a few weeks and hang out with one of best friends. Or join my mum who will hopefully be going back to France mid September (last chemo treatment on the 31st of this month!)

I love the 70's flavour!! My friend lost her job during the GFC and was unemployed for a year...she said she did go insane :( But after the GFC she got an even better job before and now earns double what she used to make and her life couldn't be better! :)ReplyDelete
Very cute outfit, especially the shoes! Going to Mexico or France doesn't sound like a bad way to spend your time.ReplyDelete
You'll be fine. I've just had 6 weeks of no school/work. The first week was terrible, then I just got into the 'not doing anything' groove. Just enjoy it and don't beat yourself up about not doing enough.ReplyDelete
Love your flower child look! Maybe you could just take a break from everything and relax for a while...maybe I'm just lazy but I looove sitting at home and chilling haha. The main thing is that you're leaving those bastards, that's what counts!ReplyDelete
That dress is stunning! xxReplyDelete
Good luck for the job hunt. Leaving a job is scary - I had a boss with the level of respect for staff that yours seems to, and leaving was the best thing I ever did!ReplyDelete
I've ended up volunteering because I couldn't find a job, and it's surprisingly rewarding (despite the lack of salary).
I think a break would be nice for you, before you embark on a new chapter in your life. Best of luck finding a job! What a nice outfit, I love the lace detail at the top!ReplyDelete
xx Carina
P.S Cats are marvelous when one is lonely! I cuddle and talk to mine in a silly voice :)

Just think of all the blogging you'll be able to do! Fret not, something ALWAYS turns up and things do happen for a reason.. xxxxReplyDelete
I'm sure the job hunt will go well! I have bee self employed for 8 months and the biggest challenge is definitely to keep yourself motivated when you have nobody to do positive reinforcement for you and. I find that setting smaller and bigger goals on different time scale helps feeling like we get thing done and are on top of it.ReplyDelete
Then again, going to Mexico sounds pretty good too!

I'm sure that you'll be fine - you have a few things already that you're thinking of doing so hopefully you wont be just sitting at home alone all day!ReplyDelete

Just wondering how everyone is keeping a healthy attitude towards food throughout this whole thing. I didn't realise how much I have come to fear food that isn't listed on the diet until today. i've been at it for 8 months and although there have been minor improvements, i'm not where I expected to be, which means my infestation must be pretty bad and I do have a long way to go. I'm so determined to get better and have been eating the same thing on a day to day basis and today I broke my diet. And it wasn't because I wanted to cheat.
Someone who I asked to read through the protocol and diet a while back made me a chayote dinner and trusting that they were well informed, I assumed it was ok. Being really hungry, I ate the whole damn flapping bowl of chayote and did my googling afterwards, since it tasted too good to be on the diet.
Let me just say that i've never cried so hard in my entire life. I'm still crying because i'm scared of what this has done to my bodyz. I really wanted to cheat for once on my birthday in December and have some pizza and it really upsets me that someone else ruined it for me. yes i am bitter and angry and i have all those issues from having candida but i am tired of being sick. I cried for so long in the shower because i saw the food I ate as a monster that's about to feed its army.
I did just eat a bowl of sugary, starchy sh*t and i'm having a hard time dealing with it. I kind of just wanted to rant but advice is also welcomed with open arms.October 17, 2013 at 5:38 pm #111538

You are being too hard on yourself and this won't set you back whatsoever. If anything it'll set you back a few hours to a few days. No big deal whatsoever.
Here's another thing to keep in mind…the yeast will live on the food you eat, candida diet or not. There is no way to not feed the yeast.

Johnny Mundo On Why He Ultimately Left WWE, His Experience Working On GLOW
Johnny Mundo talked to Open Mike's Brandon Kravitz and made a new interview to discuss why he ultimately left the WWE and experience working on GLOW. below are the highlights…
On why he ultimately left WWE:
"Really I left because I wanted more creative autonomy. At the end of my contract I got offered another deal to sign for another 3-5 years, and I wanted to take off to start doing some TV and film. Really, I left, ultimately to make a film like 'Boone The Bounty Hunter'. I didn't realize that 'Boone The Bounty Hunter' was the the movie I was going to put all of my time into and make when I left, but it's why I left because I wanted to have some more control over my own time, and to be able to think about who I want to spend my time with and what I was spending time doing. I've been really happy knowing that everything's worked out…In addition to wrestling wise, wrestling is big time right now. MLW, December 7th [Never Say Never live event in Florida] is an example of another hot promotion right now that will be a really cool place for me to go work, and for fans to go see top notch wrestling. Lucha Underground season 4 was renewed, Impact Wrestling is happening. I've been involved in all of these new, really cool alternatives to WWE. It's a really good time, I think, to be outside of [WWE], and like you said [WWE] has been number one for a long time, but if you're not there, now's the time where it's possible to have good matches with hot crowds and have a good time as a professional wrestler with some more control over your own time."
On his experience working on Netflix's GLOW:
"GLOW was rad. First of all, it was one of the first names in wrestling I've had where I wasn't using 'John' and one of the coolest names I've had, Salty 'The Sack' Johnson, was my name for GLOW. The whole cast and crew on GLOW was super dope; Marc Maron, Alison Brie, I also got to work with Marty Elias, the referee from Lucha Underground and Chavo Guerrero, who is getting more and more into doing a lot of stunt coordinating work in television. It was a real pleasure being on set. Jenji [Kohan], Carly [Mensch] and Liz [Flahive] the show creators and writers, really set a precedent for that show to have a really friendly tone. Everyone had a good time on set and I think it came across (to me) when I was watching the show. Me and Taya [Valkyrie] binged the entire season in two days. We loved it."

How Can I Prevent Erectile Dysfunction?
Preventing erectile dysfunction (ED) overlaps a great deal with good glucose management. Many of these "prevent ED" tips are also diabetes self-care reminders.
Good Blood Sugar Management.
Following your diabetes treatment regimen can prevent or delay complications such as blood vessel and nerve damage, which are problems that increase the risk of ED.
Eat Well and Limit Alcohol.
Food that's good for the heart is also good for the penis. An erection requires good blood circulation and circulation decreases when people eat a lot of processed, fatty foods and not enough vegetables or fruit. Research indicates that men who eat plenty of whole grains, fruits, veggies, healthy oils (e.g., olive oil), fish, and nuts are less likely to develop ED.
Low or moderate alcohol consumption is not considered an ED risk factor, although regular heavy drinking is. Alcohol leads to nerve and kidney damage and disrupts the body's hormonal balance.
Healthy Weight and Regular Exercise.
Maintaining a healthy weight is good for blood sugar control and good glucose levels keep blood vessels and nerves in the genitals healthy. One way to sustain a healthy weight is exercising regularly.
Aerobic exercises (tennis, walking, swimming, biking) are great ways to improve circulation and prevent ED. However, exercise that puts intense pressure on the blood vessels and nerves serving the penis can contribute to dysfunction.
The sensitive area between the scrotum and anus, the perineum, can be damaged by frequent bike riding. It is recommended that men bikers wear padded cycling shorts, stand up often when pedaling, and use a comfortable, preferably "no-nose" bike seat.
Gaining an erection requires open blood vessels and stress hormones contract them. The right ways to relieve stress are the ways that work for you, whether it be meditation, gardening, reading, listening to music, or video games.
Avoid Anabolic Steroids and Cigarettes.
Although anabolic steroids help athletes bulk-up, they have the opposite effect on testicles and disrupt the ability to produce testosterone. Low testosterone can cause ED.
Smoking restricts blood flow by damaging blood vessels. The nicotine in cigarettes causes blood vessels to contract, limiting circulation to the penis.

A Way to combine-offline-campaigns- together with your digital-advertising- approach
A fresh survey of 200 marketers within the u.s. showed that online campaigns delivered improved ROI than offline advertising initiatives for over seventy six% of the participants. despite this, offline marketing continues to garner a major chunk of a company' annual advertising budget. according to an eMarketer record, American agents spent just about 80% of their marketing budget on offline campaigns in 2016. here is a tough line to tread for a marketer. On one hand, online campaigns deliver exact focused on and supply accurate dimension of ROI and this makes it pleasing. at the identical time, patrons nonetheless spend a big period of time offline and the chance is just too respectable to pass up. The best center path is to combine your offline promotions with your digital initiatives so as to be sure improved monitoring of your campaigns. Hashtags Hashtags are among the greater ordinary channels to track the effectiveness of offline campaigns. tv classified ads mechanically nudge viewers to express their support for a trigger or to take part in a contest with the aid of posting particular hashtags on social media channels like facebook or Twitter. whereas the variety of hashtags itself doesn't mean anything else, there are a number of ways corporations advantage by using monitoring these hashtags. Relative performance The TRP equipment to calculate the variety of viewers looking at a tv channel at any given time is conventional to be rather inaccurate and meaningless. The frequency of hashtags posted automatically after your advert gets broadcast on a tv channel or radio station offers marketers a higher thought in regards to the relative performance of those a considerable number of advert slots. Influencers Social media posts are a viral phenomenon. on occasion all it takes for a crusade to head viral is for a few influencers to focus on your manufacturer and use your hashtags. as a result of the digital path that social media posts leave behind, it is feasible to accurately computer screen the boom of a campaign from a handful of tweets into a trend. This digital trail also helps entrepreneurs determine the influencers who enabled this success of a crusade. adventure monitoring marketing campaigns through textual content messages, junk mail, or even billboards are prevalent as a result of the extremely not pricey for mass outreach. although, such campaigns endure from negative monitoring for the reason that customers from these channels often do not leave a trail whereas making a purchase order. One survey of unsolicited mail advert recipients discovered that basically 73% of those survey members checked out every coupon sent to them. however earnings through such offline campaigns cannot be precisely tracked to this certain channel. one way to repair this difficulty is to present incentives for these valued clientele to set up a digital path. as an instance, unsolicited mail coupon recipients can be provided discounts on on-line or telephone buy, which makes it essential for these consumers to depart a trail. in a similar way, clients who are reached out to through textual content messages may be requested to ship a message to a specific quantity to specific activity. Such strategies aid marketers get a much better draw close over the effectiveness of these diverse channels. Google-forwarding mobile number local groups that count on cell calls in place of web sites for consumer inquiries make use of Google-forwarding telephone numbers for their Adwords campaigns. it really works like this—agencies register for a special cell quantity from Google that can be displayed on their web page or on their advertisements. This allows businesses to track a lot of parameters like caller id, name period, call beginning and conclusion times from in the Google Analytics dashboard. Google-forwarding mobile numbers may additionally even be used through marketers to music the efficiency of their print and billboard adverts. Such numbers do not charge a great deal and entrepreneurs may use unique mobile numbers or caller extension to independently track their ads throughout a lot of print and offline advertising channels. customized Pages Offline ads usually use both a cellphone quantity and a website URL for the fascinated prospect. phone numbers work optimal when your enterprise has just one product or provider providing (plumbing, lawn mowing, etc.). For retail companies that take care of items like apparels or activities gears, valued clientele decide upon sorting out a site URL instead of calling up your business over the cellphone. marketers may also construct sales pages with customized URLs that are most effective advertised over one selected advert channel. this fashion, it's viable to tune guests coming off any certain advert on a newspaper or magazine. inspite of what the media says, offline media channels like print magazines or newspapers don't seem to be going away any time quickly. there is an opportunity cost to now not advertising on these channels. it truly is the explanation why print ad income proceed to grow despite the turning out to be popularity of the online advertising channel. The recommendations and innovations outlined above go a protracted method in setting up a digital trail for offline campaigns and may aid a marketer track the efficiency of offline campaigns extra readily.

Natrona County School District Reports Another Creepy Clown Sighting
Some folks just don't get it that Halloween is over.
The Natrona County School District reports another "creepy clown" sighting, district spokesman Kelly Eastes said Friday.
The person wearing the creepy clown mask was loitering just north of Woods Learning Center on Kelly Walsh Drive about 4:45 p.m. Thursday, Eastes said.
A custodian encouraged the clown to leave the area and called police, he said. Police looked around but didn't see anyone wearing a clown mask.
The school district has regulations saying such attire disrupts the education process, Eastes said. "We're not allowing them around the schools."
The district forbade students and staff from wearing clown costumes during Halloween on Monday, he said. "It's just disruptive with what's going on nationally with the clown thing."

The 2018 Blue Jay Jazz Festival was another big success thanks to you -- our loyal fans, donors, sponsors, our mountain community and beyond.
We offer special thanks to SkyPark at Santa's Village for hosting our concerts during the past two summers, and helping us expand our audience, showcase our brilliant local student musicians, and further strengthen our financial base.
With these additional resources and new donors, we are excited to be planning our 2019 Jazz Festival, and have been exploring ways to take more music to additional venues in more communities throughout the calendar year. Going forward, however, the Jazz Festival will not return to SkyPark due to circumstances beyond our control at the Park.
The Blue Jay Jazz Foundation, which has produced the annual Festival for many years, is a mission-driven all-volunteer non-profit organization that also provides musical instruments and instrument repair for local students, awards annual scholarship grants, and invests in the community in other ways. It remains committed to supporting music education and performances on our mountain, including the summer festival. We welcome the participation of music-lovers, musicians, educators and business people to join us on our various committees. If you are interested in learning more, please call (909) 744-9675 or send an email. We will continue to provide updates as we plan our 2019 Calendar. To get on our email list for our monthly newsletter, email your name and email address to Monthly Jazz Newsletter

Strauss Water and its products are green by definition, simply by saving the massive
environmental pollution caused by bottled mineral water. We also comply with a
number of international green standards and make sure to adopt the most up-to-date
environmental standards. Read about it here.
Water from Strauss Water's bars is tap water that undergoes a process of rigorous
screening and cleaning and reaches the customer free of chloride and impurities, but
with all the natural minerals. Mineral water is drawn directly from wells or springs,
with no filtration or purification, and is bottled directly in plastic bottles.
Strauss Water treats potable water that complies with the stringent requirements of
the "Sanitary Standards for Drinking Water". These regulations include monitoring
and analysis of heavy metals and wastewater. A water source tested and found to
contain heavy metals and/or wastewater is closed by law and drinking water is not
supplied from that source.
- Activated carbon filtration, which includes physical filtration: particles (e.g. sand, rust and tiny stones) are physically blocked by a mesh screen; and chemical filtration: activated carbon filtration, which improves the taste and quality of the water, adsorbs the chlorine and removes aftertastes and odors.
- UV purification, which helps to reduce the bacterial load in the water. The UV lamp emits a wavelength in a range that does not allow bacteria to continue their lifecycle.
Lime scale refers to the whitish deposit of natural minerals (calcium and magnesium)
that forms inside kettles, etc. Calcium and magnesium are minerals that are present
in water, and when heated, they crystallize and become a visible substance. These
minerals are healthy and important to the body, and today it has been scientifically
proved that water enriched with calcium and magnesium (the derivatives of lime
scale) is good for our health. Strauss Water's appliances do not filter out minerals
that are essential to the body, including calcium and magnesium, and therefore do
not treat the lime scale that remains visible after boiling.

Author Notes: This recipe is a standout from Green Kitchen Travels by David Frenkiel & Luise Vindahl (Hardie Grant).
"This recipe is inspired by a dish we had at a wonderful hole-in-the-wall restaurant that we have managed to visit only once, somewhere in the Born district of Barcelona. We have gone half a dozen times to try to find it again, but with no luck: the winding streets always leave us lost and confused. As far as we can remember, their polenta was firmer, almost like a cake, and the dish was served as a starter. Instead, we have made the polenta soft and creamy. To get the right consistency we use a similar method to preparing risotto, with liquid added in small portions as it cooks. We top it with fragrant garlic mushrooms, artichoke hearts and a slice or two of goats' cheese." --David Frenkiel & Luise Vindahl —Food52
Serves: 4
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 1 hrs
For the polenta
cups (1.5 liters/50 fl oz) water
cup (150 g/5 oz) coarse-ground polenta
teaspoons fine sea salt, or to taste
tablespoons cold-pressed olive oil or ghee or 50g (2 oz/1/2 stick) butter
For the topping
garlic cloves, crushed
ounces (250 g) crimini (button chestnut) mushrooms
ounces (150 g) marinated artichoke hearts, drained
sprigs of thyme, leaves picked
slices goats' cheese
splash olive oil, for drizzling
- Place 4 cups (1 liter) of water in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Heat the remaining measured water in a kettle or separate saucepan.
- Add the polenta and salt to the first saucepan and stir to combine. Immediately reduce the heat to a very low simmer and stir frequently until the water has been absorbed. Continue to simmer, adding a little more water about every 5 minutes or so, for 45 minutes until the mixture is thick and creamy and pulls away from the sides of the saucepan. Stir in half the olive oil, ghee or butter.
- In a separate saucepan, heat the remaining oil, ghee, or butter over a medium heat. Add the garlic and mushrooms and cook for a couple of minutes. Then add the artichoke hearts and thyme and cook for another couple of minutes until everything is tender and juicy.
- Move to the side of the pan and cook the slices of cheese or no more than a minute on each side.
- Serve the creamy polenta on plates and top with a few spoonfuls of mushroom and artichokes, a slice of warm goats' cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

It should be apparent to regular readers that Hexhamite adores words. Seeking new ways to express the mundane is a mission and a passion. Why call a spade a spade when you can call it a sturdy flat bladed excavator that can be pushed into the earth with the foot? I'll take loquacious over humdrum every time. Verbosity over bland suits me fine thank you. Exploring the beauty, complexities and flexibility of old Mother Tongue is a journey of adventure and constant source of delight. Her abuse wounds me.
Ergo, copywriting is a trade that is close to my heart – the use of words to promote a person, business, opinion or idea. It is skill and an art. Yet I recurrently find myself poring over adverts and notices and wondering if they were composed by a machine. Or perhaps a party of indolent primates hammering away at old typewriters in a back room somewhere?
I am bewildered by the profusion of pseudo-scientific claptrap, poor grammar and idiotically inappropriate use of words in the media. What exactly does "Pimp my Ride" mean? Or Bifidus Digestum? Or all those ridiculous made up ingredients in cosmetic products?
Queueing at the Xpress (No!!) checkout of my local greengrocer, Hexhamite muses that being au fait with language and grammar should rate highly on the list of requirements for a career in Marketing. Judging by the sign above the cash register this is transparently not the case.
"Fifteen items or less" screams the sign. The grinding of my teeth is audible from three aisles away as I growl, "Fifteen items or fewer!" One or two dullards may look at me strangely, but unless His Holiness, Stephen Fry happens to be standing behind me with his weekly grocery shop, it is unlikely that anyone will understand my rancour. Bring back the Grammar Nazis!
A recent promotion in a local deep fried chicken outlet (the one with the bearded fellow on the logo) caught my eye. Cadbury's Flake Avalanche Only 99p!
This is a tub of plain ice cream sprinkled with pieces of the well known erotic confectionery. Nothing remarkable in that. The carefully thought out small print made for interesting reading though – i.e. the rubbish that advertisers are compelled to append to their lies to fend off potential law suits.
It read, "At participating restaurants only. Product and price may vary." Are they serious? The first sentence is reasonable. Apart from the use of the term restaurant, that is. But the second?
How can the product and price possibly vary? Are they suggesting that I could be presented with a rubber boot and charged a shiny farthing? The promotion is for ice cream, with a flake topping, priced at 99p. If any of those criteria vary then logically it is a different promotion.
Advertisers, think before you type! You haven't got the brains to be clever – stick with the tried and tested "subject to availability."
Language is my mistress, treat her courteously.

It's been more than 50 years since The Jetsons came into living rooms and promised viewers things beyond their wildest dreams. Of course, not all of their predictions have come true yet, but since the show is set in 2062, science has quite a few years to catch up. Still, the world is pretty futuristic these days. Maybe you don't have a car inside a briefcase, but you probably have a computer, a calculator, a jukebox, a camera, several books, video games, mail, and a flashlight all in a telephone in your pocket. And while you don't have Rosie to vacuum your floors, you probably own, or know someone who owns, a robotic vacuum.
In fact, when you think about it, robots are everywhere. A robot almost certainly helped to assemble your car, and your latest order from Amazon was likely moved around the warehouse by robots. Maybe you have eaten at the new Boston restaurant where robots do the cooking. If you have been a patient at the UCSF Medical Center, it is likely that your meals were delivered by a robot and your prescriptions were filled by a robotic pharmacist. You may even know someone who has bought a robo-pet—be it a cuddly robotic kitty to keep a senior company or a robotic dog to load the dishwasher.

Nourishment and hydration
It gives nutrients to the skin so that your face can glow and look smoother. By preventing the release of the moisture from the skin, it gives an enhancement to the skin health and look.
Lifting and smoothening
It restores the skin in terms of elasticity and firmness. The cream is helpful to smoothen out imperfections and aging signs.

THIS hair-raising footage shows one reckless motorist come close to crashing three times in the space of just five minutes.
The extraordinary scenes were captured by truck driver Karl Newsome who described the near-misses as some of the "most shocking incidents" he's seen in 22 years as a professional driver.
They begin with a silver Ford Focus veering directly into the path of an oncoming lorry - before swerving back into the left-hand lane with seconds to spare.
The motorist then comes close to ploughing into oncoming traffic on a bend.
The final incident sees the driver almost slam into the rear of a vehicle in front who has slowed down on a bend in order to take a right turn.
Karl, 51, from Derby, followed the maniac, keeping a safe distance, for 10 minutes down the A52 Eastbound from Bingham, Nottinghamshire on Thursday morning.
He said: "I drive an eight wheel tipper truck which is 32 tonnes max.
"I've been driving HGVs for 22 years and this is one of the most shocking incidents I've witnessed.
"I was behind the car for ten minutes and saw various degrees of dangerous and careless driving."
A spokesman for road safety website SWD Media, who obtained the footage, said: "It appears this driver may not have been fit to be behind the wheel, or at the very least was distracted and not paying attention - perhaps texting on a mobile phone.
"All three near misses were shockingly close, and I would have thought the first one would have been enough to either wake the driver up, or make him stop what was causing the distraction.
"The driver was lucky not once, but three times, and I hope he did not continue to push his luck.
"All incidents had the potential to cause serious injury and threat to life."

The Government of Grenada advised noteholders that it has completed payment of the semi-annual September coupon of its US Dollar 2025 Bond through its Paying Agent. Having made this payment within the grace period, Grenada has not defaulted on the 2025 Bond.
On September 12, 2012, the Government of Grenada issued a Notice to Noteholders of its US Dollar 2025 Bond through its Paying Agent, BNY Mellon.
The Notice indicated that Government was experiencing liquidity constraints but would make every effort to pay the coupon by October 15, 2015, the final day of the grace period for the payment of the September coupon on the 2025 Bond.
Despite the difficult circumstances, efforts to secure the necessary funding were successful.
Grenada is a small country dealing with the effects of the challenges experienced by the global economy including lower growth, lower tourism expenditure and lower foreign direct investment. Nonetheless, it continues to make every effort to meet its obligations.
Furthermore, the Government of Grenada continues to implement an ambitious agenda of reforms including improvement in the business and investment climate. Indeed, Grenada was recognised as one of the top ten reformers worldwide by the International Finance Corporation in its 2011 Ease of Doing Business Report.
Moreover, Government has articulated a vision for transforming the Grenadian economy through new drivers of growth including Health, Wellness and Education Services, Energy and ICT.
(The above was submitted by the Ministry of Finance, Planning, Economy, Energy & Cooperatives)

Why try to do it all yourself when you can get help?
Delivering a full-on collaborative R&D project in which you are the main producer, writer, performer and administrator, is always going to be stressful.
You could say that this is a character-building experience which will look good on your CV, and this is true. But actually it's bloody ridiculous because what you want to be doing is immersing yourself in the creative process and letting someone else deal with all the partnership and artist agreements, finance stuff, booking access support, etc. etc.
Finance has been a nightmare. It took three visits to the bank and two telephone calls before they sent me a 'card reader', and I hadn't made payments this way before. Is this method accessible? Absolutely not!!!
it took me 2 hours to pay eight people: the card reader would time out, while I squinted to read the weeny figures, double-checked that I'd punched in the correct digits, and panicked that I'd inadvertently pressed the wrong number and some unexpected individual would get lucky and one of my team lose out…
Thankfully it all went through, but this wasn't a productive use of time.
'Where's your Access to Work?' I hear you cry. I've never been that organised and I don't have any ATW arrangements at the moment. This really stems from the notion that I can do it all myself (which of course I can't because I'm unable to see half the things I'm doing). I'm not great at asking for help when I need it. But the reality is that I do need help, especially as my sight has deteriorated further in the last couple of years.
When I put the ACE G4A bid together for Learning to See, I'd heard that you could apply for money for your own access support needs. 'Great!' I thought, and I put in a smallish figure to support me through the rehearsal process and for a bit of the admin. I had to use some of the money to bring in an audio-describer to help with descriptions of the visual material that was being developed. Whilst I had it, it was fab! I clearly didn't ask for enough days.
I advertised the role (for 6 days work) and found a brilliant woman who has an excellent understanding of visual impairment and is an artist herself. Because she got the theatrical concept and is a photographer too, she gelled with the team and was able to take appropriate initiative. I really hope I can bring her on board again.
So now I'm faced with the task of approaching Access to Work again. One of the lessons learnt from doing this project will be to find either some project manager support or some input from an independent producer as I build the next bid to take the show on tour. Goodness knows how much longer we'll have Access to Work, though, what with all these cuts.
I'd better act quickly.

How do assumptions and perceptions on how visually impaired people communicate inform our lives?
A lot has happened in the last couple of months, heading in the right direction, but a long way to go…
Part of the research and development strand for 'Learning to See' is to work with an established writer through New Writing South's Writer's Mentoring scheme. I've got four sessions with Mark Hewitt. A key aim being to end up with a good 'draft' rehearsal script and sketched ideas on how the other arts disciplines; film, sound and musical input etc. will fit in.
Developing this piece I've had to dig deep into my world as a partially sighted person and try to get more specific about which bits of my life story I want to share. For sure I'm in active conversation with all the creative team about how to present the literal and metaphoric layers in 'Learning to See'.
Together we're exploring how to interweave the traditional material, film and soundwork into my story. The first half has moved on massively and now we are turning our attention to the second half, which presents relatively uncharted territory so far.
One of the exciting areas that's got ton's of theatrical potential to play with is around all the stupid things the general public think they've got permission to ask or say to visually impaired people and how we think, feel and respond. If we all had a penny each time someone asked "how much can you see?" or "where's your little doggy?" then we'd all be rich.
The other side of the coin is all the misunderstood communication, partly caused through the obvious lack of eye contact and inability to read facial expression and cope with the environments and stressful situations we find ourselves in.
Over the last few months I've been reflecting on my experience as part of VI culture at special school and beyond 'how I communicate and how others within the VI community communicate and how the sighted interrelate with us. I want my audience to come on a journey with me as I grow and to question their own life assumptions and perceptions.
Half of 'Learning to See' examines my life as a partially sighted child and teenager when I didn't want anything to do with being visually impaired; wouldn't use a white cane etc – masking vision wherever I could. I hadn't a clue how to ask for help when I needed it, hadn't been taught too, I was naively unaware of my identity let alone any disability politics. The challenges of growing up in a world that expected me to conform to be as 'normal and sighted as I could be' presented a set of complex problems to unpick and solve.
The more I began to learn about cultural diversity, social justice and accept who I was the more assertive I became. Assertive and direct communication is something that I've noticed amongst some of the other visually impaired people I know and in my view, it is definitely part of visually impaired communication culture.
This assertive approach can cause miscommunication and misunderstandings. I've certainly been guilty on several occasions (butting in inappropriately and I know I'm known for being direct - not necessarily a great reputation to have)
With 75% of information being received through visual media, we've got to find a way to find out what's happening. If you have a visual impairment you are having to use all your physical and emotional energy concentrating on every aspect of daily living activity and this is extremely tiring and can result in a 'more' assertively expressed viewpoint.
Most of the time you're not going to find out what's happening unless you ask because we don't have audio description on tap and many of us don't have Access or PA support in place.
I don't know how far we'll get in representing some of this but these reflections inform every aspect of 'Learning to See'.

Learning to Dream!
It's absolutely brilliant to be given funding to develop your own creative ideas, exciting yet the responsibility is daunting.
I'm fascinated about our life stories and how we choose to tell them and how they interrelate with traditional stories and songs where disability appears (either symbolically, metaphorically or literally) in my case visual impairment.
Learning and telling traditional stories is one thing, kind of pretty spontaneous for me really you hear or read the story, break it into sections, relearn it and tell it improvising and playing with it's shifting nuances provoking different audience responses. To tackle my own life and weave it in and around folk/fairytale and song is proving to be a different experience. I've wanted to find a way to share my story for years and I eventually want to encourage others to tell and share their stories too.
In late 2012, I began the process on a course led by Mark Hewitt through New Writing South. Actually writing my life down getting specific about some of the things I wanted to say. After receiving positive feedback from the small sharing of extracts I decided to go for G4A funding. But it took me a while to realise what it was that I wanted to develop. And it took a networking event led by Young Vic and National Theatre and one conversation with one of the directors to encourage me to think differently actually to think bigger.
I'm so used to working on my own it easy to stay in my own box, and the four crucial words that Sarah said to me: 'what about creative play', pushed me into action.
Lesson one: attend every networking event you can you never know where conversations may lead you.
My story explores 'learning to see' living in that half world of light shade shape colour shapes shifting, so there's scope for playing with colour and sound. My story has strong themes around identity and acceptance, there are symbolic and metaphoric links between my tale and several folk and fairytales waiting to be woven together.
It does work as a stand-alone piece as reflected upon after my recent Together sharing commented upon by Stephen Portlock, but to push myself beyond my usual practice and flesh out it's full theatrical potential I needed a dream team and I think I've got one.
Lesson 2: have as much in place as you can and think of your own access needs
Before you fill any form, you've got to try to get as much of your plan and partners in place as you can. It's not easy and can take months. (ACE's access fund is invaluable go for it if you find form filling in difficult)
Inspired by Sarah's words I approached who I wanted to work with and the result is impressive. Mark Hewitt to direct (from Lewes Live Literature), Sound artist Joseph Young, who's also got a fab singing voice and will help me explore the musicality of the work, Filmmaker/ documenter, Abbie Norris to explore the look, Rachel Gadsden to provide live visual art on stage and the dynamic Caro Parker and Roger from STAGETEXT to help me investigate creative captioning and Deaf access. I got the people in place fairly quickly but securing a Brighton venue to mount my play days proved much more challenging, because sadly we just don't have enough accessible spaces available.
I've had to make some compromise, but the partners I've amassed are exciting, New Writing South, Nightingale Theatre, MAC Birmingham and Half Moon YPT.
I don't just want to research the creative potential but I also want to find out what different audiences think and how they respond to the performance styles used especially young people so attached to the creative play are a series of 'sharings and Q&A's which will lead to me being able to develop a tour.
Through creative play we can push this work into a new direction and I will grow and have something new to invite professional audiences to come and see me working in a different way.
Okay so I've not been idle over the last few years I've been telling stories in different settings but I haven't been seen on the disability arts circuit for a few years and it's time I changed that.
Lesson 3: You don't have to take your clothes of to have a good time but you can be inspired by others who do!
Not long after I received the fab news that I'd received the funding. I had the enormous pleasure of catching Mattt Fraser's wonderfully sexy interpretation of 'Beauty & The Beast' at the Young vic. I'd seen this piece in it's infancy at Dada-Fest several years ago when Mat was first weaving his dream. I provoked Mat to think about the metaphoric links around disability in this dark and beautiful tale and I was delighted that through Improbable's Phelim's imaginative direction Mat and Julie's true love story was intrinsically woven into their theatrical retelling of the classic fairytale.
This was such an inspiring piece of work powerful and extremely funny it completely validates the model for disabled artists exploring the role of their own life histories and the magical world of folk and fairytale.
In the bar afterwards I congratulated Mat, Julie and Phelim and told them that I was about to embark on my own creative journey and perhaps there may be similar theatrical devises employed - although you can be reassured I don't have any immediate plans to take off my clothes! (well not yet anyway)
Lesson 4: Learning to let go and fly
Mat said one of the hardest things he found was learning to let someone else take your initial ideas and lead you into new territory, but you have to trust and then you learn to fly. On the train home I reflected that that's what I'm just about to do. I've always respected Matt's approach he dreams an idea, develops and nurtures it, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't but you don't get anywhere without taking the risk! So I'm going to go for it.
Thank you ACE

Customer Testimonials
"Misty Angling trips want to thank Sheaf Diesel Services for the very helpful and quick return on reconditioning our diesel injection pump for our vessel 'Misty', and the patience and expert advice giving when asked in several emails!
Thanks again for the excellent service and identifying exactly what pump I had just by looking at the picture, even though there was no identifying plate!"
Gordon Morrison
Boddam, Scotland
Recondition of 'Ford Industrial Diesel Injecton Pump - P4685/B'
"The pump arrived yesterday, the mechanic came aboard today. As I posted on your Facebook page, Brilliants heart is ticking again. Only issue we had was that it took quite a bit of cranking to get the fuel lines bled and have fuel flowing to the injectors. I think Ill install a small lift pump into the line to facilitate this in the future.
I can only say thank you again to the crew at Sheaf for the outstanding service, fast turnaround and quality work. I have posted, additionally, to the Moody Owners Association Info Exchange my praise for your work.
May I just say everything in my dealings with Sheaf has been "Brilliant!"
Thank you,"
Roy (Pete) Peterson
Florida, USA
Recondition of 'Ford 1.6 Marine Diesel Injection Pump'
"Firstly, many thanks for the prompt execution. From sending to receiving my injection pump, it took less than 2 weeks. Here in Germany it would have taken 4-6 weeks, despite the short transport. The refurbished Simms injection pump looks like new, its completely sealed and works perfectly. The default parameters are suitable with respect to the idling speed, and the maximum speed without any additional adjustments.
I should also mention, a well-known German company specializing in classic car injectors found that it would not be possible to repair the pump. To determ5ine this, I had already paid 110.00 Euros. Alternatively, they then offered a replacement pump for 1,300.00 Euros. After that I found your company on the internet, and after a short amount of emails, the thing ran like clockwork. It should be emphasized that this top service was only £400.00 + VAT, and with transportation, totalled £545,00. Super value for money, especially considering the fact that this is an extremely rare Simms pump with a mechanical governor and was built only for the German market. Thanks again for the great work.
Best regards from Timmendorfer beach,"
Nikolas-H. Ramm
Eutin, Germany
Recondition of 'Fordson Super Major 1962 Injection Pump'
"Thank you Sheaf Diesel Services for a great refurbishment of my MF 135 DPA Pump. Its great to find a company that has that personal touch at a very competitive price, it leaves you feeling that you have had a job well done.
I can recommend anybody with a Injector Pump or injectors to try this Company".
Tim Elmhirst
Barnsley, England
Recondition of 'Massey Ferguson 135 Injection Pump'
"I just wanted to write and thank you for the excellent service and assistance you gave regarding my diesel injection pump. I'm sorry I haven't written before but I managed to rupture my Achilles tendon the day before the pump arrived back here and I have only recently managed to get it reinstalled. I am unable to get to the boat myself at the moment but the engineer who reinstalled it for me, Matt of Solo Marine, Windsor, tells me that the engine is now working very well.
Matt was equally impressed with your service and tells me he will be sending pumps which require reconditioning to you in future. I will certainly highly recommend you to anyone else who needs such services.
Many thanks again".
Gordon Bishop
Woking, England
Recondition of 'Austin Taxi 2.2L Diesel Injection Pump'
"I would like to send my thanks for such a fantastic service. The pump arrived on the day specified, and the unit was beautiful. I got the chance over the weekend to fit, borrowing the timing tool from a colleague, once I had bled the injectors she fired up and is ticking over sweetly. If you could pass on my thanks to the team, in particular to your engineer I spoke with over the phone who was very helpful."
Jack Burrows
Fliptton, England
Purchase of 'Bosch Diesel Injection Pump 0460 494 126'
"I was in need of an injection pump for a David Brown tractor, was struggling to find one in the US. Every search I did on the internet kept showing Sheaf Diesel Services in the UK. I'm very skeptical when it comes to purchasing items off the internet, as I've been stung a couple times. I began talking to a gentleman by the name of Andrew at Sheaf, they had the pump I was looking for. I decided to purchase the pump from Sheaf. The staff was excellent in answering questions and keeping in touch with me through the whole process from receiving my pump, and receiving the item I purchased.
If your looking for fast prompt friendly service Sheaf Diesel is the place to buy from!! ANDREW is the perfect sales rep for you!!!!!!!!!!!!
p.s Can't forget Oliver, he kept in touch with me when Andrew was unavailable."
