Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
The food or the wine?
The sauce or the meat?
As always, I think the answer is somewhere in between. This time, though, the idea for the sauce really came first, and then the meal was built around it. The idea...cherries. I saw them right when I walked into the store.
Now, what to do with them? Chicken? Duck? Pork. Yes, roasted pork loin. Stuffed? Sauce? Yes, sauce. A simple roast with a cheery cherry sauce. I decided (easily) to roast it in my tagine. I rubbed it with salt, pepper and dry mustard, then browned it all over in a non-stick pan (don't wash the pan...we'll use it for our sauce), then into the tagine and popped in a 300° oven for almost an hour, or until the internal temp. of the roast reaches 135°. This is what it looked like when it was done.
While the pork was roasting, I began making the sauce and cooking some rice. For the sauce, I first brought 1 cup of chicken broth and 1 cup of wine (I had some rosé in the fridge that I used) to a boil, and then.....added two of these tea bags to steep. Blackberry sage black tea. This will add some depth of flavor to our sauce. Next I halved and pitted about 2 cups of the bing cherries. The non-stick pan was reheated and I poured in the tea-broth and added the cherries, scraping up any browned bits left over from the pork. I also tossed in a sprig of lemon thyme. This was left on medium heat to reduce.
Now the rice. I love Lundberg's Black Japonica Blend Wild Rice. I heated a tablespoon of butter in a saucepan, and sauteéd some minced ginger. I then added the rice, stirred it to coat, and then threw in 1 cinnamon stick, along with 2 cups of chicken broth. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce to a simmer, and let cook for 45 minutes.
After the pork reached 135°, I transferred it to a plate and tented it with foil to sit for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, the sauce had reduced and become a beautiful, deep red color. Although the flavors had also deepened and intensified, it was still quite tart, so I added 2 tablespoons of cherry jam I happened to have on hand, and just before I served it, I stirred in some minced preserved lemon to brighten it up. Yo yo!!
I had some broccolini that I had blanched and then cooled in an ice bath, that were to be sauteéd with minced garlic and chili flakes. E voilà! Roasted pork loin with cherry sauce, ginger rice infused with cinnamon, and garlic chili broccolini.
Oh, and by the way.....leftovers make killer BBQ sandwiches!

Thank you to 2nd.MD for providing me with a $200 stipend to test-drive this revolutionary online medical service.
When I saw that Clever Girls Collective had a sponsored post opportunity that involved trying out a revolutionary new way to get in touch with a top specialist from home, I was really excited, for obvious reasons. I mean hello, every single person in my household has complex medical issues necessitating entire TEAMS of specialists, who aren't always all that available for questions that aren't life-or-death. When I found out I was selected for this opportunity I thought long and hard about which specialty to consult with. I don't think there's any specialty we HAVEN'T had dealings with, after all, so I was a little bewildered in the face of SO. MANY. OPTIONS. And the combination of medicine and social media was RIGHT UP MY ALLEY, OH MAH GAH.
I finally decided to narrow it down by ruling out specialties we were already happy with (like I hate the eye doctor LIKE POISON, but that said mine is one of the best in the nation so I don't really need a second opinion there), ones with a heavy hands-on clinical aspect (for example, to effectively address specifics of the connective tissue disease my children and I all have, a geneticist would want to move our joints around, feel our skin, have us do various physical things not easily captured on webcam...), and specialties where prescriptions are heavily involved (for example, I need to get back on ADD meds but while a psychiatrist-inside-the-computer might be able to make recommendations for specific drugs, they obviously can't prescribe that way and I don't know how well it would go over if I went to see MY psychiatrist and told him I wanted to try X controlled substance because Dr. Y from-the-innernet told me I should...).
I finally decided I wanted to go with a sports medicine doc; many of the sports medicine specialists on 2nd.MD have SUPER-impressive credentials and I'm not realistically going to shell out a co-payment and day off to see one on my own. Plus the reason I wanted to see one (namely to get some tips on exercises, specific taping techniques/compression garments, etc. that might help me avoid the recurrent injuries I am so prone to when I run) was something I felt could be effectively addressed in a videoconference. Yay!
My enthusiasm started to fizzle around the time the second specialist declined to take me on. I get why they have this option; obviously not everyone is very medically savvy and some people might select specialties that are wildly inappropriate or doctors within a specialty who don't often handle their particular issue, but...any able-bodied person can run and women in particular are prone to stress fractures. I didn't feel like mine was such a crazy concern. Finally I found a doctor who was willing to talk to me: WHOO!
Unfortunately he didn't show up for our "appointment." Booo...here is where I have to say that 2nd.MD's customer service is AMAZING. If a doctor doesn't show up for your appointment (which given that doctors have, um, emergencies and stuff, isn't such a far-fetched idea) you automatically get a refund from 2nd.MD, but what the fine print doesn't say is that when that happens they go ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure you don't give up on the service itself. The rep's exact words when I contacted him, frantic, at COB on a Friday when my post was due no later than TODAY, were "you go and have a good weekend and let me work some magic."
I won't lie. Initially I was not impressed with the magic. Because it took the form of a rush-appointment with...drumroll...a rheumatologist. Yeah, 2nd.MD's sports docs unanimously wanted nothing to do with me because of the rare and freaky connective tissue thing, and I was...pretty offended, honestly. Because what the heck was a rheumatologist going to know about this (I mean yeah, technically I have an autoimmune disease that falls under their specialty AS WELL, but it has no impact on my running and all symptoms that have majorly impacted my life have been effectively addressed through drugs and surgery)?
At this point, I think if I'd been a regular paying customer I might've given up on 2nd.MD. Since I wasn't actually paying for the service out of my own pocket, though (and uh, wanted the income from this sponsored post opportunity), I decided I had nothing to lose by going into my appointment with Dr. Kirkwood Johnston with an open mind.
Y'all, I am so glad I did that.
Dr. Johnston isn't just a rheumatologist, he's also an avid runner and something of a rare disease afficionado. Instead of one of the two usual reactions medical professionals tend to have when I tell them about my specific connective tissue disease (either "umm...how do you spell that? I've never heard of it!" or "HOLY CRAP YOU POOR THING, YOU SHOULD TALK TO A GENETICIST OR PRETTY MUCH ANYONE WHO ISN'T ME!"), Dr. Johnston said "tell me about your [insert condition name here; it's rare enough to be potentially identifying so I'm not putting it up on my personal blog], what subtype is it and how severely affected are you?" He went on to explain, laughing, after I told him how the sports docs had all shied away from seeing me, that a lot of the time people's reaction to rare stuff that can impact mobility is one of "CALL A RHEUMATOLOGIST!" and this was actually right up his alley.
I'd love to show you a screenshot of my consultation with Dr. Johnston, but apparently Awesome Screenshot and the 2nd.MD chat interface don't play well together because when I took one I ended up with this:
Figure One: Not-so-awesome screen shot.
So you'll kind of have to use your imaginations a little. Here is what Dr. Johnston looks like. And here is what I looked like during our consultation, modeling my anti-asthma attack running mask for running in cold weather (taken with my iPhone during the actual consultation, which you can sort of see in the reflection off my glasses) (last time I EVER don't shell out for the anti-glare coating on lenses, incidentally):
Figure Two: You didn't really think I'd out myself for this post, did you? Also? Funny story: I thought Dr. Johnston would be in on the whole "you are talking to a blogger who is being paid to review your services" angle, because COME ON, but apparently he was NOT in on the joke and when I said, apropos nothing, that I blogged anonymously and whipped out the mask in the middle of a chat about joint and muscle health I think the poor guy thought he was about to become an unwitting participant in some kind of fetish porn. But he was a good sport about it!
So, my actual, honest-to-goodness opinion is that this is an amazing service. I got some truly excellent advice on how to minimize the risk of further injury (although Dr. Johnston was careful to stress that this would only REDUCE the risk, because "as you know you're going to hurt yourself a lot no matter WHAT you do," which shows he knows the condition I have pretty well, actually), from an unexpected source, and aside from the technology failing me when it came to the screen shot (AHEM, AWESOME SCREENSHOT) I have no complaints at all despite the false start. I was actually really impressed, not least in that after I caused a super-awkward moment by whipping out that mask it was SUPER-easy to exit the appointment with the remaining shreds of my dignity. Because it's easy to trip over your own feet on the way out a physical door (um, not that *I* ever did that while beating a hasty retreat from a horrified medical professional, hoooo no), but even I can't manage to hurt myself clicking the x at the top right of a screen.
Thank you again to 2nd.MD for sponsoring this blog post. Please click here to learn more about 2nd.MD. I was selected for this sponsorship by the Clever Girls Collective. All opinions are my own. #Clever2ndMD #spon

The Moon is a vehicle for transmission of the divine feminine.
Reference: Cobra — Moon of the Light
The southern portion of the full moon will dip into the Earth's dark umbral shadow for nearly two hours, from 17:23 to 19:18 UTC on August 7, 2017.
Here is a link to the Facebook Event for the Partial Lunar Eclipse on August 7, 2017.
A total solar eclipse will occur on Monday, August 21, 2017. It will be visible in totality only within a band across the entire contiguous United States. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth.
Here is a link to the Facebook Event for the Total Solar Eclipse on August 21, 2017.
It will be first seen from land in the US shortly after 10:15 a.m. PDT at Oregon's Pacific coast, and then it will progress eastward through Salem, OR, Casper, WY, Lincoln, NE, Kansas City, Nashville, TN, Columbia, SC, and finally Charleston, SC, exiting South Carolina at 2:48 PM EDT A partial eclipse will be seen for a greater time period, beginning shortly after 9:00 a.m. PDT along the Pacific Coast of Oregon.
A partial solar eclipse will be seen from the much broader path of the Moon's penumbra, including all of North America, northern South America, Western Europe, and some of Africa.
The "Galactic Wave of Love" which will ultimately dissolve The Veil & Plasma Octopus is a wave of feminine energy.
This wave will remove the scalar effects which are blocking tachyons and Goddess energies from the surface of Earth – bringing the Event which will usher in an era of peace and prosperity for humanity, for the Solar System, and ultimately the entire galaxy.
We can use this eclipse to anchor these energies, and to declare our collective intention for Compression Breakthrough.
Ultimately, the EVENT is manifestation on the 3D plane of the principle of Unconditional Love. This not only means that justice will be served, but also the long-suffering surface population of the planet will be healed from millennia of trauma due to the quarantine and resulting enslavement of the masses.
To anchor these energies during the forthcoming lunar eclipse, you may either use the guided meditation in your own language, or simply play this video "Love Signal" as you do the following visualization.

On the eve of the Games in Sochi in GUM opened a unique exhibition of the Olympic Winter Games torch from the personal collection of the Prince of Monaco Albert II.
Torch – the most famous Olympic symbol and the main protagonist of Olympic torch relay. Its design is developing the most fashionable offices around the world. The tradition of lighting the Olympic flame existed in ancient Greece and reminded of the heroism of Prometheus, who gave fire to people.
In the modern history of the Olympic Games torch lit for the first time in 1928 in Amsterdam, and in 1936 in Berlin, the first Olympic relay. Since then, the main baton Olympics every four years, changed its colors, sizes and styles. Thus, the torch Olympic Winter Games in Albertville, coined the famous Philippe Starck, was a length of only 41 cm And the torch from Vancouver artists of Bombardier reached almost a meter in height.
Many believe that the participants in the relay transmit to each other the same torch. In fact, it is a transfer of fire, and no torch.
Photos and text by Vitaly Ragulina
Olympics 1956 held in Italy. Relay transmission of fire took place in Italy and Greece, the Olympic Flame was lit in the Temple of Jupiter in Rome:
1960 – The Olympic Games in Squaw Valley. The torch lit in Morgedal valley in Norway, the home of the legendary Norwegian skier Sondre Norheim, and then taken to the United States:
France, Grenoble, 1968. The Olympic flame was carried more than 5,000 people, the length of the baton was 7222 km. At the last party costume relay race was fixed microphone, and at the time of lighting the fire spectators in the stadium heard the beating heart of an athlete:
During the Olympics in Sapporo, Japan in 1972 relay transmission of fire was over 5,000 km, it was attended by over 16,000 people. The height of the flame – 70.5 cm:
In 1976, in Austria, Innsbruck, lit the whole two cups Olympic torch to highlight the fact that the Winter Olympics were held in Innsbruck twice, in 1964 and 1976:
In 1980, in Lake Placid, United States, in the transfer of the Olympic torch relay was attended by 26 men and 26 women, the flame height – 74 cm:
1984 – Sarajevo, Yugoslavia. Length was 5289 km relay, the Olympic flame was carried 1,600 torchbearers:
More than 7,000,000 applications received from residents of Canada who wanted to take part in the Olympic torch relay transmission during the Olympics in 1988 ode to Calgary. The distance 18,000 km 7,342 people fled:
The torch relay for the 1992 Albertville (France) was created by renowned French designer Philippe Starck:
For the 1994 Olympics in Lillehammer (Norway) made 154 cm tall torch relay ended spectacularly: Norwegian athlete Stein Gruben jumped from the lit torch on the ski jumping:
1998 Olympic Games in Nagano (Japan). The fire brought from Greece, two more were lit the torch and continue their way through three different routes:
In 2002, in Salt Lake City used innovation: the system of combustion inside the bowl Olympic torch was designed so that the flame was burning inside her:
During the Olympic torch relay in Turin (Italy), the participants crossed the border 7 European countries. The relay is 11 300 km, it was attended by 10,001 people:
Olympic Torch Relay transmission in Vancouver (Canada) in 2010 was the longest – it amounted to 45,000 km. The Olympic flame was even in the most sparsely populated areas in northern Canada:
Torch which for several weeks pass on the baton in Russia has become a major topic in the media, mainly because several times in the hands of the torch bearers went out, and sometimes even explode.
Interesting statistics. Certain figures of how many times the torch extinguished:
- 1956 Winter Olympics in Cortina d'Ampezzo (Italy).
- 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal (Canada). Gus a few times because of the rains.
- In Moscow in 1980, the extinction of not.
- 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta (USA). Gus twice.
- Summer Olympics 2004 in Athens (Greece). Gus twice.
- Summer Olympics 2008 in Beijing (China). Gus four times.
- Summer Olympics 2012 in London (UK).
- Winter Olympics 2013 in Sochi (Russia). Gus is 37 times, but still before the Olympics 100 days. As they say in the famous film, "For power offensively."
Olympic torch exhibition in GUM will run until November 30.

TSIA Q3 2003 Statistics on Taiwan IC Industry
TSIA Q3 2003 Statistics on Taiwan IC Industry
Nov. 13, 2003
According to WSTS, revenue of worldwide semiconductor industry in Q3 reached US$43.32b, a 13.7% increase against Q2 2003. Accumulated revenue of the previous three quarters totaled US$118.3b, up 14.7% over the same period of 2002. According to SICAS, capacity of worldwide foundry in Q2 2003 averaged 1,308 thousands of wafer-starts per week, a 4.7% growth against Q1 2003. The Q2 utilization rate increased from Q1 level of 82.8% to 85.9%. Although the SICAS Q3 data collection is still ongoing, utilization rate of foundries are expected to increase in line with the order growth. The data collected showed that the semiconductor industry is recovering. The WSTS forecast also indicated that growth rate of global semiconductor industry in 2003 and 2004 would be 16.6% and 20.3%, respectively.
According to IC Insight, the H1 2003 revenue of TSMC has pushed TSMC into the world 10th largest IC company. TSMC and UMC are still ranked the top and the second in the global foundry market.
The TSIA third-quarter (Q3) survey showed that total revenue of the Taiwan IC industry (including design, manufacturing, packaging and testing) in this quarter was NTD223.3b, up 35.7% over the same period of last year. Compared to Q3 2002, of all the revenue generated, the design sector contributed NTD50b, a 38.2% growth; manufacturing sector amounted to NTD130.9b, a 36.7% increase; packaging sector (domestic and foreign-invested) generated NTD31.5b, a 27.8% rise; and testing sector created NTD11b, up 36.1%. Overall, each sector had a growth rate between 17% and 31% compared to the previous quarter.
PC-related chips played a critical role in the Q3 growth of IC design sector. Intel's promoting Centrino and the price down of major notebook makers had boosted revenue of PC chipset and peripheral-related product makers. The growth in consumer IC revenue was attributed to the traditional Q3 high season effect and the success of new product allocation of major consumer IC makers (e.g. DVD player chip, digital camera chip, digital TV chip…). Driven by strong demand of DVD player and increasing shipment of LCD monitor, relevant chipmakers had a shining performance. With respect to niche memory product, revenue was boosted due to the increasing demand of DDR DRAM for graphic cards. Q3 revenue of the IC design sector was NTD 50b, a 30.6% growth from the previous quarter.
In line with the order growth in 3C product lines such as information, communication, and consumer ICs, the utilization rate and wafer shipment of TSMC increased in Q3. Revenue grew by 10% against previous quarter. At UMC side, orders from the design houses of UMC group and foreign graphics chipmakers were the major contributors to its revenue in Q3. However, the lower order volume in its communication product line has made its Q3 revenue even against Q2. Compared with Q2 2003, revenue of foundries increased by 7% to reach NTD82.5b.
With respect to DRAM market, the increasing capacity and yield of DRAM 12-inch fabs, the further micronization of process technology, the increasing yield of DRAM dies and the steady shipment of major PC makers were all the contributors to the price stability of main-stream DRAM. The sales growth of PC chipsets and PC I/O chips were driven by the recovering demand of PC. Revenue of non-volatile memory makers increased as well. Production value of domestic IC grew by about 40% in Q3 against Q2. Overall, revenue of the manufacturing sector totaled NT$130.9b, up 17.3% against the previous quarter.
Thanks to the continuing outsourcing of foreign design houses and IDMs for packaging and testing capacity, orders for high-end packaging such as BGA, CSP and FC, and high-end testing such as mixed signal and high frequency chips increased. Price of DRAM packaging and testing was up due to the yield enhancement of DRAM dies and the recent price up of DRAM. Besides, the revenue up of designers, manufacturers and domestic IC makers were also the contributors to the revenue growth of the other packaging and testing companies. Totally, revenue of the domestic IC packaging sector increased by 21.1% to reach NTD 31.5b in Q3 against Q2, revenue of the IC testing sector was NTD 11b, a 26.7% increase against Q2 2003.

To determine whether polymorphisms altering the function or expression of IL17A and IL17F, which is a potent cytokine and a potential contributor to the etiology of dry disease
Genomic DNA was extracted from blood samples of unrelated dry eye disease patients (without Sjogren's syndrome) and Sjogren's syndrome patients. PCR and direct sequencing were used to screen variations in promoter region and 5' untranslated region IL17A and IL17F genes. One hundred control individuals without corneal disease were selected from the general population
We investigated 7 SNPs: 5 in IL17A, namely rs8193036, -307 G>A, rs2275913, rs8193037 and rs3819025, and 2 in IL17F, namely, -1658 T>C and -1436 G>A. Among them, the -307 G>A, rs8193037 and rs2275913 of IL17A gene and -1658 T>C of IL17F gene were significantly different between patients and control groups. The *A allele frequency of the -307 G>A and a allele frequency of rs8193037 of IL17A in dry eye patients were significantly decreased compared with control subjects. The frequency of the *A allele of the rs2275913 SNP was higher in the Sjogren's disease patients than in the controls (OR: 2.32). In IL17F gene, the frequency of the *C allele of the -1658 T>C in both dry eye patient (vs. dry eye O.R. =1.64; vs. Sjogrens' O.R. = 1.63).
The present study showed that the genetic variants in IL17A and IL17F, the -307 G>A, rs8193037 and rs2275913 of IL17A gene and -1658 T>C of IL17F gene, are associated with non-Sjogren and Sjogren DED patients. It is suggested that genetic variations of IL17A and IL17F may act as a potential susceptibility variants in Korean dry eye disease

PRN: Cambridge Consortium Completes Successful Trial of Next-Generation Wireless
25/apr/2012 10:00:11 PR Newswire Turismo Contatta l'autore
Cambridge Consortium Completes Successful Trial of Next-Generation Wireless
- TV White Spaces trial, composed of 17 UK and global companies, provides foundation for Britain to lead in fast, reliable rural wireless broadband, better urban Wi-Fi access, and innovative wireless applications, and encourages Ofcom to complete enabling regulations.
CAMBRIDGE, England, April 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Following more than 10 months of comprehensive testing in urban and rural areas in and around Cambridge, England, the Cambridge TV White Spaces Consortium, which comprises leading international and UK technology and media companies, has successfully demonstrated the potential of television white spaces. The consortium explored and measured a range of applications � rural wireless broadband, urban pop-up coverage and the emerging "machine-to-machine" communication � and found TV white spaces can be successfully utilised to help satisfy the rapidly accelerating demand for wireless connectivity. The consortium members recommend that the UK regulator Ofcom complete its development of the enabling regulatory framework in a manner that protects licensees from harmful interference and encourages innovation and deployment.
(Logo:Â http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20000822/MSFTLOGO)
The consortium includes Adaptrum Inc., Alcatel-Lucent, Arqiva, BBC, BSkyB, BT, Cambridge Consultants, CRFS, CSR plc., Digital TV Group (DTG), Microsoft Corp, Neul, Nokia, Samsung, Spectrum Bridge Inc., The Technology Partnership plc. (TTP) and Virgin Media, and it demonstrated unprecedented partnership and collaboration while working closely with Ofcom to ensure that this technology can now be harnessed through a regulatory framework to benefit consumers and further innovation in the UK and beyond.
The consortium issued this statement: "With the rapid rise of mobile broadband and the desire to enable remote areas to enjoy the benefits of broadband, the need for more efficient spectrum use has never been greater. The UK is playing a leading role by exploring the use of licence-exempt access to TV white spaces and developing a model regulatory framework. None of this would have been possible without the support of Ofcom � and the constructive and unprecedented collaboration of the companies involved � to progress this groundbreaking mode of spectrum access."
Commenting today on the TV White Spaces trial, Communications Minister Ed Vaizey said, "I welcome the success to date of the Cambridge White Spaces Trial. Leading innovators from the UK and beyond have demonstrated the potential that television white spaces can have for meeting the UK's broadband needs. Developments such as this endorse the leadership position that the UK can take in enabling more efficient use of spectrum by opening up an array of opportunities for wireless applications for consumers and businesses alike. I find the idea of using white space devices to deliver broadband to rural communities, or to expand the range and quality of urban Wi-Fi hotspots, exciting. This can form a significant contribution to our thinking as we consider how to maximise the value of the spectrum below 1 GHz. I look forward to hearing the next chapter of your progress."
Trial Implementation and Results
The trial analysis found Cambridge has significant television white spaces capacity � 20 white spaces channels corresponding to 160 megahertz in total, of which 13 (104 megahertz) were allowed in the test licence from Ofcom � which can be used to help augment existing broadband networks, extend broadband access to rural areas and allow for machine-to-machine communications. Further, geolocation databases, provided by Microsoft and Spectrum Bridge, proved a reliable way to control frequency use by the white spaces radios and to quickly adapt to changes in spectrum usage by the licensed users.

The population growth that we have increases the production of waste materials on earth. Though there are different waste management processes that have been conducted to minimize our waste still, it grows every day. Landfills are now being subject for disapproval by environmentalist and the residents who will be greatly affected in building of dump sites in their area. Since having landfills in the area can be a cause of health issues and pollution that will greatly affect the environment and population. Recycling facilities are being created to solve the landfill concern that we have nowadays. The recycling facility are responsible for receiving, separating and preparing recyclable waste materials that will be used to produce a new product or selling it to manufacturers. But even if there is a recycling facility, landfill can still be useful because that is where the waste materials are stocked. There are different kinds of recycling facility but clean and dry facility is generally used to distinguish the types of waste materials. Wet recycling facility is also being utilized nowadays for specific wet or liquid types of waste material.
Clean recycling facility is the composition of waste materials that are already separated from the municipal solid waste before it reaches the facility. The waste materials are already sorted according to certain specification and processed accordingly. The process may include shredding, drying crushing, compacting and preparing for shipment to the market. Dirty recycling facility on the other hand, is the facility that accepts mixed waste materials. After receiving the mixed waste material, it is being separated and segregated to its different types through mechanical or manual sorting. The sorted waste materials that can be recycled will undergo the processing procedure and the other mixed waste materials will be disposed to a different kind of facility such as landfill. Dirty recycling facility can be a great challenge since it requires more labor and expensive than having a clean recycling facility. Though having a dirty recycling facility provides higher recovery rates than a clean recycling facility since it can recover more waste materials that can be recyclable. Compared to a clean recycling facility, the sorting process is already conducted from the source of the waste material whereas in a dirty recycling facility, they are the ones who also do the sorting process to which, they can have a greater control in selecting the waste materials that can be recycled or sell to the market.

Digital Prologue and Final Lyric Page
Hand-drawn roses and a line with diagnol hatching are images marked on the page. This page originates from a tangible source. Although this jpg image is itself a digital incarnation of the handwritten lyric page, the actual item was created by hand (non-digitally).
Due to the type of recording, the audio has only sound. No images are embedded into the recording. Layers of voice and instrument electronically recorded play back the digital creations unlike the final lyric page's static roses drawn by hand. Yet the spoken words that may be heard were written prior to the words digital recording session. Digital incarnation maintains the qualities of distinction and assimilation of a work. Especially for creative works, digital incarnations may be considered part of the revision processes.
Like the final lyric page, the video contains images. Still the two differ. Digitally captured images in the video are not the same as roses drawn by hand in the final lyric page. Also, roses do not appear in the video. Milk, a cup, and a newspaper are not among the images in the final lyric page, but these are images in the video. Likewise, the video features the audio recording and, hence, encompasses the words written on the final lyric page. As such, the video may be seen as a continuation of the creative revision among the final lyric page and the audio recording.

Ice Cream Sandwiches were one of my favourite ice creams as a kid, and making them into a No Cool Whip Ice Cream Sandwich Cake is pure genius! This style of ice cream sandwich cake is all over Pinterest and the internet, so I have no idea of the origins, but it is really easy and yummy to make.
When we moved to Australia, ice cream sandwiches sold here were different from what I was used to. They were larger, sold individually, and almost a premium product. They are called a Giant Sandwich, Monaco Bar or a Maxibon. Now our 2 major supermarkets have come to the party and now sell my familiar multi pack ice cream sandwich, but they've added better flavours. I've seen Caramel, Honeycomb, Vanilla, Triple Chocolate ice cream sandwiches, and for this recipe, I've used Cookies and Cream (Oreo) Ice Cream Sandwiches.
Most of the versions of this recipe use Cool Whip, which we don't sell in Australia. Don't worry, it's not really nice anyways, just chemicals that mimic whipped cream in a tub, using vegetable oil as the main ingredient. My No Cool Whip Ice Cream Sandwich Cake recipe just uses whipping cream and icing sugar, beat within an inch of it's life. If you have access to Cool Whip, then by all means use it to make this treat!
The trickiest part of this recipe is that everything melts so quickly. Prepare your workspaces in advance, (including preparing freezer space), but keep everything in the freezer until the last minute. I even put the whipped cream in the freezer to keep it cold, when I wasn't working it. I used a small cutting board as my base when I was making it, but using a loaf pan is best as it helps keep everything in shape, as it melts quickly and can shift sideways. You don't have to wait the full 4 hours in the freezer, but if it's not frozen through, when you cut it, the pieces squish together and it doesn't look as nice on a plate.
This No Cool Whip Ice Cream Sandwich Cake recipe is easy to personalise to your favourite flavours by adding crushed Oreo cookies, or drizzle the icing with caramel or chocolate sauce. The hardest part was waiting for it to freeze before we could eat it. Bon Appetit! Приятного аппетита!
No Cool Whip Ice Cream Sandwich Cake
- 9 Oreo ice cream sandwiches
- 750 ml whipping cream
- 3-4 heaped tablespoons icing sugar or to taste
Using a beater, beat the whipping cream and sugar together until you have a thick whipped cream (the thicker the better).
Lay some parchment paper on the dish/tray of your choice and lay a single lay or ice cream sandwiches.
Cover the ice cream sandwiches with a thick layer with whipped cream.
Top with another layer of icecream sandwiches and gently push down into place. Repeat process until you reach your desired height/shape.
Top with final layer of whipped cream and freeze for 3-4 hours. Enjoy!

I stepped off the train and tried to remember why I'd come. I had been warned. "It's not very nice", they said. "Not much to do", they told me. I was in Margate.
|Margate Perfect Figure, Margate Lido, September 1947
|Margate Pier, c1900
|Margate Lido
|Dreamland Amusements today
|Skinheads in Margate, 1970s
Once the place to be, since the onslaught of holidays abroad, this town has been forgotten. After about half an hour, I began to feel it. The history. This was the birthplace of the British Seaside Holiday. From Victorian times to the 1960s, it was cool. Cheap, colourful and cheerful.
Its weird to see a town alive with people and dead in so many areas. Beautiful Georgian houses surround it. It has the oldest rollercoaster in the UK. Of course, it now lies in ruins. We stay in the beautiful Reading Rooms.
For me, the most touching part was Martgate Lido. Once one of the few seaside pools, it is of course, in ruins now. But it's Art Deco charm remains, for me at least. Once it hosted Beauty Pagents. I just loved it.
Margate is on the up. We see a lot of this. I hope it's true. Tracey Emin is from Margate. This explains a lot. I left after two days being completly touched by this town. There is so much to it, with its long history. Such a sad place. I hope in 10 years, this post will be outdated and it will indeed return to its former glory.

After Todd McFarlane, no one's had a longer relationship with the Image Comics character Spawn than Greg Capullo. First drawing the character 1993, he kept up with the book and its numerous spin-offs until well into the 21st century. These days though, Capullo is more well-known for his run on Batman with writer Scott Snyder, a five-year collaboration that was critically and commercially successful and saw an expansion of the Batman mythos with some of the Dark Knight's most popular modern story arcs. Capullo is now working with Mark Millar on his new creator-own book, Reborn, which will likely continue Millar's winning streak next to books like Kick-Ass, The Secret Service and Wanted. This weekend though, it's all about Capullo as he comes to Fan Expo Canada in Toronto to sign a few books and shake a few hands, but before that, Capullo took the time to answer a few questions from Nerd Bastards about his Batman legacy, his collaboration with Snyder, and what he's looking to do in the future in terms of his comics career.
Nerd Bastards: I wanted to begin by talking about your run on Batman, because that was a long one, about five years, and in that time there were a lot of great stories: "Court of Owls", "Death of the Family", and it's not often that a team working on a book that's been around as long as Batman makes such a big mark on the mythos because now we have the Court of Owls going to be a part of Gotham the TV show…
Greg Capullo: Yeah, it's crazy.
NB: In terms of your own expectations of an artist and leaving your mark on Batman, could you talk about how that feels?
Capullo: Well, obviously it feels amazing, right? It's not something you can plan for ever, it just doesn't work that way. You just try and come up with good ideas and good art and do the best you can. Where the chips fall is where they fall, and no one could predict what a fan is going to gravitate towards, so the only thing you can do is the best you can do. But it feels amazing that people love it so much, I'm very grateful.
NB: You worked very well with Scott Snyder, obviously. Again that was five years together, so how did that relationship develop in terms of how you recognized each others strengths and how did that back and forth work?
Capullo: Well, you've probably heard how badly it started out in the beginning, but my whole career began with being trained on how to be a storyteller. Back in the day on Marvel, you were given a story synopsis basically, it was evocative writing, but the whole story might have been six pages long, and there was no dialogue.
NB: The Marvel Method.
Capullo: Right, the Marvel Method. That's how I was trained, and my whole career went like that, especially when I worked with Todd [McFarlane] on Spawn, he would phone me up and say "I need three pages of Sam and Twitch talking about this." He didn't care where I put them, it was the tone that he needed, and it would be scripted after I gave him the art. So I was used to all that, and Scott was used to him controlling the script. (Laughs) So that was oil meeting water. I've been around for a lot longer than him too, so I would say "Tell what dialogue is important," and he would say, "All the dialogue is important!" He would provide so much instruction that the script for that first 22-page story was almost 40 pages long. He was very uptight, and protective, and controlling in the beginning, I didn't think it was going to work out because I wanted him to get out of my way and let me do my thing. It just got to the point where the editors tried to intervene and actually told us to stay away from each other, but I knew that after he saw what I could do I would gain his trust, and that's exactly what happened. So he culled back further and further and gave me more and more room. He still gives me all the dialogue, which is great, because Scott's a wordy guy and I have to provide him a lot of space and that gets tricky sometimes. It helps me to push the actors in the right direction to have the full dialogue ahead of the curve. But now, Scott will describe a scene, and I'm free to break down the beats and add more if I see it playing differently. We made a compromise basically, he gives me all the dialogue and breaks down the beats as if they were paneled because that's what he needs to do, he needs to pace it out in his own head mechanically that way, but he now gives me the freedom to alter it as I see fit. We got to be very close and trusted each others and our abilities. I think he's a really great writer. I've worked with a few guys, but Scott's stuff is so layered when you break it on down. He puts so much thought into every aspect and every wrinkle, and a lot of it probably gets missed by casual readers because you have to look beneath the surface for all this subtext. I think he's brilliant. Outside of that we became really close friends because Scott, and I don't want to call him insecure, but every time we would start a new arc he would be in a panic, and really questioning himself in terms of the quality of what he was doing and whether it was the right story. So I spent a lot of time on the phone with him, encouraging him and telling him it's great. If neither of us get comics every again, we would still be good friends. I think [being friends] helps, and it's got to be better than two people that hate each other making comic books together, right? I imagine that fans maybe pick up on it because there's good feelings behind what we're doing. We like what we're doing and we do great things.
NB: But I'm sure his anxiety about every new arc, and whether or not he's doing right by Batman, is probably why your run on Batman was as good as it was, rather than just sort of saying, "Yeah, this is pretty good, I guess."
Capullo: We're both perfectionists to the point of narcoses, and that's a fact. (Laughs) Scott cares intensely about what he does and so do I. Your name goes on it, right? You have to have pride in whatever you do, I don't care if you're a plumber or whatever.
NB: So having said that, as an artist, do you have any preference now for the Marvel way, where you have more freedom, or do like more intense collaboration where you're working with the writer more on how things are laid out?
Capullo: Well, to be honest it eats up a lot more time the latter way. Like I said, Scott can get wordy, so that could be a really juggling act at times to still balance the comic page. He does work on that all the time, and curb his propensity to write a lot of words (Laughs), but as I told him, a comic page has to balance visually, and if you have too many words, it fights the art and creates something that's not aesthetically pleasing. Along with being a good writer, knowing when to lay back is what pushes you to Jedi level; the guy who can step back and look at the overview, and look at every page as a piece of art, and that includes dialogue. But the art game is one you should always improve and refine. Scott and I, because we'll be getting back together, we'll continue to refine what we do together as a team.
NB: Considering your run on Batman, and working on Spawn for years before that, you are obviously quite committed to these books when you sign up, so in terms of your own process, and desires as an artist, how do you know when its time to leave a character and say "I've done all I can and am moving on to the new thing"?
Capullo: The thing about me is that I don't think I do my best work in the beginning. You don't know the characters. You know who they are, obviously, but you can't get into an intimate relationship with the characters until you've done them for a while. So I would never walk off a book without putting a year's worth of work into it, because it gets better as it goes. I've said so many times, but the characters, after a time, tell me how to draw them, how to pose them, what their hand gestures are. They come alive! And that only happens when you spend time with the characters to earn that kind of relationship, and once you do, that's when the magic starts to happen. Then it just becomes this natural thing that comes out of you. You know how writers say, "the thing wrote itself"? Well drawing is the same thing in that those expressions and mannerisms, they happen naturally, organically as a result of having a relationship with that character for a long time. As for when to walk off, my career hasn't kind of worked that way entirely. I was working on Quasar, my first full-time book, when all the big guys went off and formed Image, and they stuck me on X-Force; so I didn't quit Quasar, they placed me someplace else. Then, when Todd wanted to get together, I said, "Well, I can't move anywhere till I do 12 issues of X-Force." That was kind of a decision there, but with Todd I did like 80 issues, and at that point I had just done so much of that character that maybe a little bit of boredom started to come in and it became repetitive after that long a duration. And then I worked with Robert Kirkman on The Haunt, and that was probably a solid decision there in that I had a really good reason in having to go mainstream and make a bit more money because I got married to a woman and had children. So I took on Batman, and that was a ticket to put a kid through college. (Laughs) That was well informed decision. But Batman, the reason I stopped there, it certainly wasn't because I was bored or not having a good time. What happened is I get approached by different guys, and in this case it was Mark Millar who wanted to get together. Writers can write multiple books per month, so they have a luxury to work with many different creators where a comic artist is more confined, so you don't get the great joy of experimenting or working on projects with many other guys; you kind of marry for a long time. It just turned out that my contract was up, and Mark was saying that he wanted to do something for a while, and I said "Yeah, that would be great." Then, when I get another break, I know Robert Kirkman wanted to work on something, I know Rob, he's a great guy. So I think now because I'm getting older and the road in front of me is a little shorter than the road behind me, I'll take those opportunities a little more. There are other things to experiment with before my career comes to an end. But that's really the way I decide, and I'm looking forward to everyone seeing Reborn, and looking forward to doing the secret project that Scott's got for me.
NB: Well, between those projects you go to cons like Fan Expo, and I always like to ask artists in terms of their con experience, what do you get out it?
Capullo: Well, I'll tell you, it's a very lonely life the life of a comic book artist. You're alone in your room, and thank goodness for Twitter so that I can interact with fans on a daily basis. That goes a long way just in of itself because you put a face to your fans. Let's be honest, when you're drawing every single day of the week, 12-hours minimum, it can get a little monotonous, sometimes a little bit pressing because you don't have time to do anything else. So when you can get out there and see these fans giving you all this love, it refuels you. It reminds you that you mean something to somebody and you're not just alone in a room. You might be a lone in a room, but your art work is out there in the world where people are experiencing joy. Well, most people are experiencing joy, some people probably hate it. (Laughs) But most people that come to you in line love it, they don't line up to tell you they hate it. It gives me an opportunity to pour as much love on every fan that comes up to me as I possibly can because at the end of the day if it weren't for the fans that buy your book, and stand in line to shake your hand and get your autograph, you wouldn't have the career that you have, and I think anybody that loses sight of that should be smacked, you know what I mean?
NB: I did note too while preparing for the interview that IGN called you the Best Tweeter in terms of people in the comic book industry.
Capullo: It's flattering, but you know I'm just a real person. Some people get full of themselves and carry on airs and stuff like that, but if I was a CEO of a company or Jim Lee or something, I'd be fired because I speak my mind and I'll tell anyone to take a hike. (Laughs) I get people that ask for a birthday wish, and I say "Yeah, here, Happy Birthday!" People appreciate the real, and I've been told so many times not to be real and that I can't talk about this, but I'm genuine with fans.
NB: You were mentioning that there's still so much more for you to do, so in terms of a particular character or a book you've always wanted to work on, is there a kind of wish list for you in terms of other characters, or other creators you'd like to work with?
Capullo: Listen, I grew up – to be completely honest – a Marvel guy, so there are so many of those titles that I grew up just loving. The answer is I would love to do them all! And there's a couple of others that I would like a crack at at DC, but there's just not enough time. I almost wish I had three lifetimes so that I could draw almost every comic book character out there at one point or another. I'd like to bring back Lobo, like the Simon Bisly Lobo. I would draw the hell out of that book. And Wonder Woman might be interesting, Green Lantern, even Superman. You'll notice that I don't say Justice League because team books are a lot of work. (Laughs) But at Marvel there's the Avengers, Thor, Spider-Man, the Hulk, there's so many, so to ask me that question is like I'm a kid mesmerized in the candy store and I've got $1.25, what can I get?
Greg Capullo will be appearing this weekend at Fan Expo Canada at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in Toronto. For more information, visit Fan Expo's website.

19 Days Total Income of Dear Zindagi
The Gauri Shinde directed film Dear Zindagi starring Shah Rukh Khan and Alia Bhatt released three weeks ago. After opening on a good note the film managed to entice the audience and did considerably well at the box office. The movie has received very positive reviews from critics, which created strong word of mouth about it. Despite the ensuing currency crisis in the country, Alia Bhatt's Dear Zindagi hasn't ceased to win hearts.
The film's steady business, even in its third weekend, is a remarkable feat. In the third weekend, the film brought in approximately Rs 2.25 crore, raking up the total to around Rs 64 crore on domestic ticket windows. After 17 days of release, total collection of Dear Zindagi was recorded as 64.44 crores on domestic box office. Once again it is in weekdays and started getting lesser audience than before. On Monday, the movie faced almost 40% of drop as compare to Friday and added the amount of 0.35 crore* to make its 18 days domestic total as 64.79 crores*.
Then on Tuesday with similar response it added the amount of 0.27 crore* to the account and made its 19 days domestic total as 65.06 crores*. Gauri Shinde's second directorial venture also stars Shah Rukh Khan in a key role, which certainly takes the credit of adding more value to the film's effective script.
Alia and Shah Rukh looked exceptionally good together and their onscreen companionship made us laugh, cry and excited all in the due course of the film. Alia Bhatt, who has been lauded for her character of Kaira, is relieved with the box office numbers. In her career span of four years, Alia has given only one dud for box office. Rest all of her movies did fairly well.

#quiltspo #quiltcrush
Face quilts are a thing, people!!!
Every quilt is a work of art but these beauties take awesome to a whole new level. These perfect portrait quilts are giving me a dose of extreme quilt envy:
1. Kim Smith Soper's 'Lincoln' quilt was inspired by an Indonesian style of pop-art called WPAP. Read the story behind this incredible quilt here.
2. This stunner from @msmidge is the kind of quilt I dreamt of making for my aunt's Christmas gift. Instead, she'll have to settle for a purple bowl cosy.
3. I can't help falling in love with this Elvis quilt. This perfect patchwork pixel tribute to The King is by Donna, aka @sewmoving.
4. I would hang this 'Starman' Bowie mini quilt by @rebsrecca in my home in a heartbeat. Love, love, LOVE!
5. Having personally had the pleasure of visiting (incredible) Dollywood, I can attest this gem would not look out of place among the great woman's collection of memorabilia and personal effects. Brought to you by Jennifer Haston.

End-of-Year Reception in Sydney
Traditionally, Christmas does seem to come twice a year at the German-Australian Chamber and our members and friends were so lucky to be invited to both.
On 13 December, we opened our doors to give guests the chance to meet chamber staff in their natural environment – the Chamber's Sydney office. Canapés, drinks and colourful, decorated Christmas trees with nicely wrapped presents underneath them were waiting for our guests at this year's end-of-year reception on a delightfully warm and charming Sydney summer night. It was wonderful to turn the office into a festive event space, with great conversation, plenty of laughs and a nice running slideshow of our favourite event pictures of the year.
We were delighted about the overwhelming popularity of our event in the busiest time of the year, with approximately 50 members joining us to celebrate an exciting and successful year for the Chamber. In his short speech during the evening, Executive Director Kristian Wolf thanked all attendees for their excellent cooperation and support in 2017 and mentioned the biggest event in German-Australian bilateral history, which the Chamber hosted in its 40th anniversary year – the Asia Pacific Regional Conference in Perth. We at the Chamber hope that everyone enjoyed the evening and would like to express our gratitude to everyone in attendance, including board members and Consul-General Mr Lothar Freischlader. We are looking forward to welcoming you to one of our upcoming events in 2018. There are many exciting functions on the horizon, as we continuously strive for excellence in the services and opportunities that we offer to our member companies.

How to Get a Stomach Tattoo. The stomach is another one of those areas you need to think about carefully before deciding on a tattoo. There are several factors to consider and it's sometimes a little more difficult to find a willing tattoo artist. However, after weighing the pros and cons and finding the right design and placement, tattoos on the stomach can be very striking.
Step 1
Choose a design. People choose a variety of things for their stomach tattoos and you tend to have a fairly large area to work with, so you're not too limited on design choices. A common idea for stomach tattoos, mostly for men, is a word usually in Old English that is arched across the stomach just above the belly button. For women, sometimes a small design on each side of their lower stomach such as nautical or other type stars, swallows or other birds and flowers or hearts.
Step 2
Decide on placement. This is an important step, especially for younger women who've not yet had children but plan to do so in the future. Tattoos can adjust to gradual weight fluctuations generally without much distortion or damage; however, pregnancy can cause rapid weight gain and stretch marks that can greatly affect your design.
Step 3
Think about risks of distortion over time. This goes hand in hand with deciding on placement. If you're getting an intricate design directly below your belly button, there's a big risk the tattoo will change as you age, put on weight or lose muscle mass.
Step 4
Factor in pain. The stomach ranks right up there with rib cages in that it's one of the most painful spots to get a tattoo. There's not a lot of solid backing to help hold the skin down and in the case of larger people, it's really hard to get a good stretch on the skin, so the tattoo procedure tends to be more uncomfortable.
Step 5
Find a willing tattoo artist. Although most tattoo artists are willing to do stomach tattoos, they may warn about the things discussed above. There are some, however, they won't do stomach tattoos because the area can be difficult to work with, especially those who already posses a fair amount of belly fat and/or stretch marks or loose skin from previous pregnancies.
Step 6
Take breaks or do it in separate sessions. Once you've got your design, placement and a willing and competent tattoo artist, you'll have a good idea of how long the tattoo is going to take. Keep in mind stomach tattoos are considered very painful, so don't be shy about asking for breaks if you need them.

Rich Mix Cinema
35 - 47 Bethnal Green Road, London, E1 6LA
From DocHouse: A timely look at the fallout from the Arab spring, and modern war torn Syria.
Official Selection: Hot Docs 2014
"Red Lines paints a compelling picture of the situation in Syria, for all its danger and opportunities, through the eyes of two inspiring activists." - We Got this Covered
"There has been a surge in documentaries about the Arab Spring, notably Five Broken Cameras and The Square, and Red Lines easily ranks with the best. Directors Andrea Kalin and Oliver Lukacs create a powerful and provocative documentary, one that is still relevant today." - Pretty Clever Films
This is a side of war you don't see. Red Lines tells the remarkable story of Razan and Mouaz. Two Syrian activists from vastly different walks of life, thrown together by the circumstances of war. Razan, a 26 year old woman from a wealthy Syrian family is the unlikely head of a smuggling operation sending aid and weapons to the front lines through Turkey. Contrastingly, Mouaz was born dirt-poor in a Damascus Palestinian refugee camp but grew up in America, becoming the de facto liaison between the Free Syrian Army and US government.
The obstacles are overwhelming: a spiralling humanitarian crisis and the emerging dominance of anti-Western extremists like ISIS. Going beyond the gritty YouTube videos and news reports filmmakers Andrea Kalin and Oliver Lukacs take us into the centre of the conflict. Red Lines highlights the resilience of the Syrian people and the challenge to keep hope alive in the face of intolerable violence and tragic recent events across the region.
Following the film we will have a skype Q&A with Razan, the subject of Red Lines.
