To make the most of Facebook advertising, you need to focus on reaching the right diners.
You're more likely to get better results and spend less money doing so if you target people who have already expressed an interest in doing business with you.
When I work with bar or restaurant owners, the first thing I look at is their Facebook ads: Nine out of 10 users "boost" their posts and target a broad audience that probably has little interest in visiting their businesses. I often hear, "Facebook ads don't work for me – we've tried them and been badly burnt." A lack of targeting is likely a root cause of this.
In this post, we'll teach you how to save money and attract more guests by using Facebook ads and taking a smart, targeted approach.
First, we'll cover a brief introduction to paid marketing and Facebook ads for restaurants. Then we'll look at why custom audiences drive down your Facebook marketing costs and boost your return on investment. We'll finish with a walkthrough of how to set up custom audiences for your business with a video and step-by-step instructions.
Facebook ads are powerful.
Not only is Facebook's reach and scale massive, its users have a willingness to trust in products and services that reach out to them via the social channel. Businesses have the potential to reach over 2.3 billion monthly active users, and according to a recent study, 78% of American consumers have found retail products to buy on Facebook.
This is mostly achieved through the ads that are shown to users as they scroll through their Facebook feed. Facebook ads are a great tool for restaurants to use to reach target customers because they're highly customizable. When creating an ad, you're given a wide range of options when it comes to deciding who you want to see the ad, based on factors like location, demographic, and/or profile information. You then set a budget and determine the duration of time the ad will be live for. You can also choose what type of engagement you're looking to spur with this ad campaign – clicks, views, impressions, likes, shares – and tell Facebook to spend the allotted budget toward reaching those goals.
As a restaurant owner, operator, or marketer, how do you decide who to target when creating your Facebook ads? You develop buyer personas based on your most loyal customers.
To learn more about identifying your target customer and how to develop buyer personas, check out our post How to Entice Your Restaurant's Target Customer.
There may be more than two billion users on the platform, but not all of them are within your target market nor do they embody the characteristics of your target customer base. Though you have the ability to reach two billion people, casting your net that wide will likely not result in visits to your restaurant.
One of the ways you can use Facebook ads to reach your target diner is by setting up custom audiences.
Say you're a family-friendly gastro pub with an extensive craft beer menu. Within Facebook Ads Manager, you can create an audience that fits one or more of your restaurant's buyer personas, like men between the ages of 25 and 55 who have children, live within a 10 mile radius of your location, and have liked a beer-related page on Facebook. This audience can then be saved to use to target future Facebook ads.
Custom audiences offer the twin benefits of:
Besides building audiences around buyer personas, you should also be creating audiences that include people who have interacted with either your Facebook page or content you've posted on Facebook. This is called a warm audience: These are people who have engaged with your Facebook or Instagram page (they're both owned by the same company, after all) within a given timeframe.
They're considered "warm" prospects because they've interacted with your brand and likely have some idea of who you are, what you stand for, and what you're trying to accomplish, though they have not spent any money at your restaurant – the differentiator between a prospect and a customer.
A cold prospect, by contrast, doesn't know you, your restaurant's brand, mission, vision, or purpose; It takes more time, energy, and money to introduce yourself and your services to these people, so the ROI can be harder to justify.
Let's walk through how to set up some key Facebook ad audiences for your restaurant to target with all of your future Facebook ad campaigns. Here's a guided, instructional video explaining how to create a warm audience and then how to use that audience when creating a targeted Facebook ad campaign.
First, we'll start by navigating to Facebook Ads Manager and creating a custom audience.
You can create an audience based on factors like:
· Customer File – This is where you can upload lists – like a .CSV file of subscribers to your restaurant's email list or loyalty program participants – and tell Facebook you'd like to create an audience out of these specific people.
· Website Traffic – If you have a Facebook tracking pixel enabled on your website, you can create a custom audience out of the people who have visited your website after first visiting Facebook.
· Engagement – You can create an audience comprised of people who have engaged with your restaurant's Facebook page, Instagram page, or content on either, as well as anyone who has liked or followed your Facebook or Instagram pages. This will include anyone who viewed your page in the last 365 days.
Once you have created your custom audience and given it a name – like "Local area families" or "Patriots fans" – click save.
Next, combine each of the custom audiences you've created into one super group. This way, you can target multiple groups of people with the same ad.
Start by navigating to "saved audience," then:
· Create the audience name – Like "warm audience for April promotion" or "warm audience for graduation season promotion."
· Include all the custom audiences you've created - Or whichever audiences you'd like to see the ad you're posting.
· Update the radius - This feature allows you to target people who live within a certain geographic area. For example, you could target all audience members who live within five, 10, or 20 miles of your restaurant.
· Update the age demographic - This feature allows you to target people within your audience who are within a certain age range.
Now that you have your target audience created for your ad campaign, let's create the ad itself.
Start by navigating to Facebook Ads Manager.
Next, navigate to the ad-set level. This is where we'll select the audience who will see your ad:
· Select traffic and budget – This is where you determine how much money you'd like to spend on promoting this ad and the type of engagement you're looking to spur via this ad.
· Choose your audience - Using the dropdown, add one of the larger audiences you created. Pro tip: From the dropdown, you can also select Facebook users who like your page.
Once you're ready for your ad campaign to go live, click the toggle in the top right corner from "In Draft" to "Live."
To harness the true power of Facebook Ads for your restaurant, you need a targeted approach. Narrowing down your audience to a warm audience who knows who you are and what you're about and who would be likely to take you up on your offer are likely to convert from leads to customers.
Use the above video and step-by-step instructions when creating your next Facebook ad campaign to attract more guests to your restaurant. The results will make you a believer in the targeted marketing method.
Just so you know, we'll handle your info according to our privacy statement.

Kyle Edmund Pulls Out of Argentina Open Due to Throat Infection
by PRAKASH | VIEW 1889
Tennis - British No. 2 Kyle Edmund has pulled out of the Argentina Open due to an illness, organizers announced on Tuesday. The 23-year-old Edmund was due to play Spain's Roberto Carballes Baena in his first match since reaching the semi-finals of the Australian Open in January - the first time he has reached the last four at a Grand Slam in his career.
The reason for his withdrawal is a throat infection. However, Edmund is expected to be fit for the Rio Open next week, where he could overtake Andy Murray in the rankings if he reaches the final there. If he were to do that, Edmund would become the British No.
1 for the first time in his career. If Edmund fails to do so, he will anyway replace Murray as the top-ranked British player in the first week of March when the points from the ATP Dubai Open come off the rankings. Murray had won the event last year but has not played since last year's Wimbledon due to his hip injury for which he recently underwent surgery.
Murray recently dropped out of the Top 20 ATP rankings for the first time in a decade owing to his lengthy lay-off. Source - The Daily MailAlso Read - Serena Williams Says She is on the Right Track after Comeback

An industry-wide survey has indicated that 70 percent of construction firms are having trouble finding qualified craft workers, another symptom of what industry groups say is an ongoing labor shortage.
The Study
The Associated General Contractors of America released the findings Tuesday (Aug. 29) of a study it conducts with Autodesk, which found that, of the more than 1,600 survey respondents, the craft worker shortage is most severe in the western part of the United States with 75 percent of contractors struggling to fill positions.
An industry-wide survey has indicated that 70 percent of construction firms are having trouble finding qualified craft workers, another side effect of the labor shortage.
While the survey indicated that firms are adjusting variables such as hiring practices, wages and in-house training, officials have warned that the efforts might not be enough to overcome the labor shortfall.
"In the short term, fewer firms will be able to bid on construction projects if they are concerned they will not have enough workers to meet demand," said Stephen Sandherr, chief executive officer for the Associated General Contractors.
"Over the long term, either construction firms will find a way to do more with fewer workers or public officials will take steps to encourage more people to pursue careers in construction."
The survey found that in addition to craft positions, salaried positions are also becoming increasingly difficult to fill.
The top five craft workers that are the hardest find include:
The top five salaried positions that are the hardest to fill include:
Causes & Solutions
The survey estimates that the causes for these hiring hardships are a combination of recent construction employment expansion (258 out of 358 metro areas grew over the past year) and a broken training pipeline, which have both been evident for some time.
The survey estimates that the causes for these hiring hardships are a combination of recent construction employment expansion (258 out of 358 metro areas grew over the past year) and a broken training pipeline.
"Tight labor market conditions are not new. This year's results are strikingly similar to last year's workforce shortage survey results," according to the report. "The survey results indicate that the supply of qualified workers, the perceived quality of the recruiting pipeline and the steps firms are taking to cope with labor shortages are all very similar to last year."
In addition to efforts to attract more workers in general, half of construction firms report increasing base pay rates for craft workers, 20 percent have improved employee benefits for craft workers and 24 percent report they are providing incentives and bonuses to attract workers.
Just over 45 percent of firms also report they are doing more in-house training to cope with workforce shortages while 47 percent report they are increasing overtime hours and 41 percent are increasing their use of subcontractors.
And in an attempt to offset human labor, 22 percent report they are increasing their use of labor-saving equipment, 11 percent are using offsite prefabrication and 7 percent are using virtual construction methods.
"The ongoing labor drought continues to put pressure on the already high-risk, low-margin construction industry," said Sarah Hodges, director of the construction business line at Autodesk.
"As labor challenges continue to grow, technology will play an increasingly important role supporting the existing workforce while inspiring the next generation of industry professionals."
Officials concluded the report by calling on local, state and federal officials to take action regarding the association's Workforce Development Plan, which gives a detailed step-by-step of how to rebuild the industry and reverse the labor shortage.

How will technology support a craft worker ? Inspiring next
generation....all feel good words that don't mean anything.
Problem is there is no emphasis on trades for up-and-comers.
They would rather stare at a phone 24/7 than wheiled a hammer.
Comment from Jesse Melton, (9/1/2017, 9:21 AM)
So, except for senior management and heavy equipment operators, every job in construction is hard to fill? That's not indicative of a labor shortage, it means there's a problem in the hiring process.
I'm going to shoot from the hip here, and say they are never going to find tradespeople if they're limiting themselves to craftspeople at A.C. Moore and Michael's.
Comment from Jesse Melton, (9/3/2017, 7:59 PM)
Peter is right though, there's a point at which technology becomes detrimental. Somewhat ironically, that's a fact most prevalent at the extreme ends of the spectrum.
Senior management doesn't need anything but a calculator in meetings and tradespeople only need their tools to do the best job possible. Everything else is a distraction.
I got a survey from a national brand tool company wanting to know my opinion on Bluetooth connectivity for an automated tube cutter. The two most important pieces of data it sent to the users phone/tablet was the time per cut and the battery life. There was a disclaimer at the bottom stating that constant use of the Bluetooth radio would significantly reduce the battery life of the tool and the users mobile device. Foolishness.
Comment from Tom Schwerdt, (9/5/2017, 8:11 AM)
Time for my usual refrain: If construction companies are having a hard time hiring craft workers, perhaps they should make the jobs more appealing (wages, benefits) - Construction unemployment remains one of the highest of any job category, exceeded only by "Leisure and Hospitality" - every other sector has lower unemployment.

I was born in Gravesend, Kent in 1965 and am proud to be from the bottom right hand corner of Britain, where I still live (and work full-time in the real world).
My style of art is self-taught. I enjoy painting and in my work I try to express the strange goings on inside my head using shape, colour and texture to show my own interpretations of what I see in nature and my own take on everyday life.
I believe that art should be in the community and part of everyone's everyday experience and am committed to making exhibition and performance spaces in new public venues such as the Iron Pier Brewery in Gravesend.
Recently, I've been involved in several collaborative art projects, including production of Hand of Artists playing cards. I'm currently developing a Christmas card project which will help fund some Christmas cheer, this year, for the lonely and vulnerable.
I've got several exhibitions of my work coming up around Kent this year – watch the events page and my Home Page blog for more information – and I was fortunate to have my artwork chosen as part of Liberty Open Call 2018, to be made into fabric and launched this Spring as part of new Liberty London collection.
This is a new website. It will be developed and improved over the next few weeks. I hope you enjoy it.

Possible re-consideration of expanding Birmingham airport, to rebalance UK airport capacity
Jim O'Neill, the Treasury minister, has urged Number 10 to look at the growth potential at Birmingham airport, which would be less than 40 minutes away from London after HS2 reaches the Midlands in 2026.
…… full FT story at
Birmingham Airport profits soar after 'busiest ever year'
27.8.2016 (Express & Star)
Soaraway profits have rocketed by 80 per cent at Birmingham Airport as it enjoyed its busiest-ever year, new figures reveal.
Pre-tax profit jumped to £25 million in the 12 months to the end of March, according to accounts newly filed at Companies House.
As passenger figures and air traffic soared to new highs, turnover at the airport grew by £9.5m to £130.5m.
In their strategic report, directors said: "During the year ended March 2016, Birmingham Airport reported its busiest ever year and for the first time in the airport's history 10 million passengers passed through the terminals.
"It was also the fifth consecutive year of passenger growth, surpassing the previous record set during 2015/16 by 5.5 per cent."
The airport earns its income from two key revenue streams. Aeronautical income is generated by charges levied on airlines, for aircraft and passengers using its facilities. Commercial income is from activities including duty free shopping, car parking, catering and property rental.
The report reveals that Birmingham's aeronautical income grew by four per cent in the year but the commercial side enjoyed another strong year with income up 10.5 per cent, boosted by developments in the terminal with a new Giraffe restaurant and revamps to its Wetherspoon pub and Dixons and Next shops.
New duty free brands including Jo Malone, Bobbi Brown, Urban Decay and a World of Whisky along with the new Joe and the Juice coffee shop are expected to help boost income this year.
It was a year that also saw 11 new airlines signing up to fly from Birmingham, including American Airlines, Wizz Air, Vueling, Iberia Express, Qatar, Icelandair, Czech Airlines, VLM and Blue Air.
But hopes 2015's extended summer charter flights to China would turn into a permanent service crashed earlier this year when tour operator Caissa Touristic pulled out.
2015 saw a string of new flight destinations, however, as passenger numbers grew to 10.4 million. That growth has continued unabated this year, with figures earlier this week revealing 11 million people passed through the West Midlands gateway over the last 12 months.
The most popular destinations last year were Dublin, Dubai and Amsterdam.
The year saw employee costs rising almost 18 per cent as the airport took air traffic control services in-house, ending its contract with national service NATS. The airport now employs 619 people, 33 more than in the previous year.
Operating profit at the group, before exceptional items, increased 28.8 per cent to £39.3m with higher income partially offset by higher operating costs.
The airport is half owned by the eight West Midlands local councils, including Wolverhampton, Walsall, Dudley, Sandwell and Birmingham, and half by Canada's Ontario Teachers Pension Fund. Employees also have a small stake.
The success of the business saw them benefitting from dividend payouts of £94.6 million, including a special dividend of £74.7m paid in April.
After more than £23 million spending on major projects the previous year, the airport's capital project budget fell to just £9.7m last year to pay for an upgrade to its baggage system, a new airbridge for the Emirates A380 superjumbo, security search equipment and more energy efficient LED lighting in the car park.

Birmingham airport getting some more long haul passengers, making use of its runway extension
Birmingham airport, in common with the majority of other UK airports, has been seeing high rates of growth over the past two years. The UK feels itself to be out of recession, flights are cheap and the price of oil (and jet fuel) is very low. With that combination of circumstances, airports are emerging from the fall in numbers of both passengers and ATMs that started in 2007 and continued till 2010, with a slow recovery. Birmingham opened its runway extension in May 2014, with hopes of many more long haul flights, as the runway was now long enough for heavy aircraft. Local campaigners say the growth in numbers reflects the aggressive marketing by Birmingham airport since then. The airport says it passed the 10 million passenger mark last year, and has now reached the 11 million mark. (If the airports cannot increase their passenger throughput now, after a deep dip, before we get into another recession and the price of jet fuel rises again, when can they?) Birmingham says over the past year their long-haul traffic increased by 26%, with particular growth to the Middle East (+34.1%), North America (+32.6%). That was, of course, what they paid all that money for the runway extension for. It can take flights that otherwise might have gone via Heathrow. Birmingham is keenly against a 3rd Heathrow runway, as it would be a bitter rival.

This lesson provides a definition of mental health and discusses the reasons sisters do not seek help for mental health challenges. The goal is to allow sisters to explore their current thoughts and feelings about mental health, while offering a clear definition for them to build a positive foundation of understanding. The first step in getting someone to access help or to accept treatment is learning why she may be resistant. Every mental health challenge is different for each person.
- State a correct definition of mental health.
- Identify personal barriers to seeking help, explore the sources of those and work on how to address them.

So that I could resize the window to a certain size from within Terminal.
Yes. Terminal supports escape sequences for manipulating windows, including the size and position, layering, and minimizing. Dimensions can be expressed in pixels or characters. See Xterm Control Sequences for details (search for "Window manipulation"; if you're not familiar with the notation, "CSI" stands for "Control Sequence Introducer", which is
For example, this shell command will set the window to 100x50 characters:
printf '\e[8;50;100t'
Minimize the window for a few seconds, then restore it:
printf '\e[2t' && sleep 3 && printf '\e[1t'
Move the window to the top/left corner of the display:
printf '\e[3;0;0t'
Zoom the window:
printf '\e[9;1t'
Bring the window to the front (without changing keyboard focus):
printf '\e[5t'
Enabling the Control Sequences in Terminal Emulators
Some terminal emulators ignore these control sequences by default and require configuration to enable them.
To enable these in XTerm, set the following resource to true:
To enable these in iTerm2, deselect the following preference:
Preferences > Profiles > [profile] > Terminal > Disable session-initiated window resizing
This is just perfect! – LopSae Apr 6 '12 at 22:34
2From now on you are my god! – d12frosted Jan 5 '15 at 7:43
2This doesn't seem to work on Yosemite with iterm2 – Jistanidiot May 11 '15 at 20:35
This works great but it seems Terminal does not accept resizings that would make the window only partially visible on the screen. I just tried printf '\e[8;100;100t' and this truncated to 79x100, just what could be fit. My problem is that I need to bypass the mouse just for this case of enlarging Terminal beyond the screen limits ... – phs Oct 3 '15 at 8:22
1This also works with iTerm2. – TextGeek Jun 1 '17 at 19:13
You could always use AppleScript:
setwidth() { osascript -e "tell app \"Terminal\" to tell window 1
set b to bounds
set item 3 of b to (item 1 of b) + $1
set bounds to b
end"; }
This only works for the currently active terminal window/tab. For this to reliably work, get the current tty device pathname and locate the terminal tab that matches. – Chris Page Dec 21 '18 at 23:53

resize -s 30 80 will give you 30 rows and 80 columns.
resize -s 30 0 will give you 30 rows and full columns.
resize -s 0 80 will give you full rows and 80 columns.
1This solution is not limited to MacOS. It is terminal-based, so it should work on all terminals. I use this to resize PuTTY windows on Windows running bash shells with TERM=xterm. – DrStrangepork Dec 22 '14 at 17:44
4This doesn't seem to work on Yosemite in iterm2. – Jistanidiot May 11 '15 at 20:35
This works for me with Apple Terminal but not iTerm2. However, sending the escape sequence \e[8;24;80t works with both. – TextGeek Jun 1 '17 at 19:18
1@KrishenGreenwell Refer to the iTerm2 documentation. By default it ignores these control sequences. There's a preference to control whether they are ignored. – Chris Page Dec 21 '18 at 23:55
1This solution used to work, but I think, the X11 commands are gone. Maybe, they can be installed by installing X11, but I don't want to install X11 just to have the resize command. – Gabriel Apr 26 '19 at 9:48
Actually you know, moving an resizing windows with a mouse is horribly slow.
I've been using this app SizeUp for a very long time now. It basically resizes any application window by using your keyboard command.
You can do the following (my custom keyboard commands below):
- make the window full screen (control + option + command + m)
- move a window 1/2 screen size to the left or right (control + option + command + ←/→ )
- move a window 1/4 screen size to any corner (control + option + shift + ←/→/↑/↓)
- move windows between screens
- move windows between spaces
I think this might do the trick and also help with other window management.
Although useful, this doesn't address the question the questioner asked. – Andrew Ferrier Oct 25 '12 at 19:05

I have a serious obsession with pancakes.
At least my family does–truth be told I am more of a waffle girl, but my family chooses pancakes hands-down every time.
So I make pancakes…lots of pancakes.
But our go-to to pancake recipe is my simple Whole Wheat Pancakes.
Healthy Whole Wheat Pancakes
This recipe for basic pancakes made a bit healthier.
Whole wheat flour stands in for all-purpose, but thanks to a few tricks, these whole wheat pancakes remain light and fluffy, and perfectly fork tender.
Tricks to making delicious Whole Wheat Pancakes
Start with the Whole Wheat Pancake Batter
- I use whole wheat pastry flour for the lightest wheat pancakes. You can use 100% whole wheat flour, white wheat flour, or a combination of all purpose and wheat flour.
- For the liquid, buttermilk is key to fluffy pancakes. See note on how to make homemade buttermilk or nondairy buttermilk.
- I don't find the need to add in oil or melted butter to this pancake batter, this keeps this recipe for whole wheat pancakes low fat.
- Have all ingredients at room temperature.
- Sift dry ingredients together–this helps get out any clumps of baking powder which is unpleasant to bite into. In a pinch, you can also just whisk the dry ingredients really well with a wire whisk.
- Next, whisk wet ingredients together in another bowl.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and use a spoon or spatula to gently combine the whole wheat pancake batter. DO NOT OVER MIX or you will have tough pancakes.
How to Cook Pancakes
- A nonstick skillet or griddle lightly is best for cooking pancakes.
- Grease your skillet with coconut oil–it is the perfect thing thing to grease your skillet with because it will not burn as easily as butter. Of course you could use a nonstick spray, canola oil or a bit of butter–just watch it closely so the pancakes won't burn.
- Preheat your skillet to medium-high. It is important your skillet is fully heated before cooking your wheat pancake batter.
- It is best to cook the pancakes right away so that the bubbles in the batter won't settle. This helps the wheat pancakes rise and get fluffy.
- Use 1/4 cup measuring spoon to pour the pancakes onto the skillet.
- A pancake is ready to be flipped with bubbles form on the top and the edges are cooked through.
- Once you flip your whole wheat pancake, the second side will cook more quickly than the first–usually about a minute.
- PRO-TIP for making fluffy whole wheat pancakes: DO NOT press down on the spatula while cooking your pancakes–this will destroy the air bubbles and won't give you a fluffy pancake.
How to Serve Whole Wheat Pancakes
- As you cook your pancakes, place completed pancakes on a cookie sheet in a flat layer and keep warm in a 200 degree oven. This will ensure that the first whole wheat pancake you make is as tasty and warm as the last pancake you make.
- These whole wheat pancakes are perfect with a dollop of butter and maple syrup. But they are also great with fresh sliced fruit as well.
- My kids love to use these pancakes as "bread" for sandwiches for school lunches as well. They work great for PB and J.
How to Freeze the Leftover Healthy Pancakes
- It is a great idea to make extra and freeze whole wheat pancakes for future use.
- Just lay out the pancakes in one layer on a cookie sheet lined with parchment or wax paper and freeze for 30 minutes.
- Then remove pancakes off the cookies sheet and place in freezer safe bag or container.
- When the craving strikes for a whole grain pancakes, pop one or more out of the bag at a time and reheat for 2 minutes in the microwave and serve.
How to Make Homemade Buttermilk
Buttermilk is the secret to helping baking powder form those air bubbles that give your pancake recipe lift and make even whole wheat pancakes fluffy and tender. But if you don't have buttermilk on hand you can easily make your own and achieve the same fluffy pancake perfection.
Homemade Buttermilk
- Whisk 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, apple cider vinegar or white vinegar into 1 cup of milk. Let sit for 5 minutes, give a quick stir and use. Yes, the milk will look curdled–it is not bad, it is just the natural reaction of combining a base to an acid.
Homemade Dairy-Free Buttermilk
- Whisk 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, apple cider vinegar or white vinegar into 1 cup of almond milk, coconut milk or soy milk. Let sit for 5 minutes, give a quick stir and use. Perfect to use for Dairy-Free Whole Wheat Pancakes.

- Low Carb Cream Cheese Pancakes from Barefeet in the Kitchen
Healthy Whole Wheat Pancakes
- 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk any variety
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 eggs
- coconut oil for cooking
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees and place a cookie sheet in the oven. Also, preheat a large skillet or griddle to medium heat and grease with coconut oil or nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, sift together the baking powder, flour and salt and lightly whisk.
- In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice and milk and let sit for 5 minutes.
- To the homemade buttermilk add in the eggs and whisk well.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Ladle 1/4 cup pancake batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form and edges are dry. Flip pancakes and cook 1-2 minutes before removing from skillet and placing on cookie sheet in oven to hold warm.
- Repeat with remaining batter.
- Instead of milk and lemon juice, you can use 2 cups + 2 tablespoons buttermilk.
- Instead of lemon juice, apple cider vinegar or white vinegar will work.
- Instead of whole wheat pastry flour, you can use whole white wheat or whole wheat flour.

Mar 10, 2016: Changi Airport Group (CAG) will be the first airport in Asia to launch a community of cargo partners whom it will support to pursue the attainment of the International Air Transport Association's (IATA) Center of Excellence for Independent Validators on Pharmaceutical Handling (CEIV Pharma) certification – strengthening Changi's capabilities to handle pharmaceutical cargo.
The IATA CEIV Pharma is a standardised global certification programme that helps companies comply with existing global pharmaceutical guidelines. For instance, companies undergoing this certification process will have to maintain a cargo hold temperature setting of between 10-25 degrees Celsius and ensure appropriate handling from tarmac to loading and unloading. Under the programme, companies will have to undergo training, as well as an assessment of their facilities and processes by independent, IATA-certified auditors to satisfy the strict requirements on pharmaceutical handling before receiving the certification.
CAG will be supporting six companies from different parts of the air cargo supply chain to undergo this certification programme, through cost support measures and the coordination of training sessions. The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) and Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA) will also co-fund the costs for these companies through the provision of assistance grants. The pioneer group of companies in the Changi CEIV Community consists of SIA Cargo (freighter carrier), dnata Singapore (airport ground handler), Global Airfreight International, Expeditors Singapore, CEVA Logistics Singapore, and Schenker Singapore (freight forwarders). SATS Coolport, a major cargo player at Changi Airport, was the first facility in the world to attain the IATA CEIV Pharma certification in 2014. CAG will progressively work with more cargo partners to attain this certification.
Yam Kum Weng, executive vice president, Air Hub & Development, Changi Airport Group, said, "Pharmaceutical cargo is one of the fastest growing cargo segments in Changi Airport, and one that CAG is actively promoting. Transporting high-value, temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical cargo can be complex due to the multiple requirements. Today, with dedicated cold chain handling facilities by key cargo partners at Changi, coupled with our excellent connectivity, Changi is well-positioned to be a leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology hub in Asia. Through the IATA CEIV Pharma certification programme, CAG and our partners go one step further by taking a proactive approach in enhancing our cold chain handling capabilities to better serve the pharmaceuticals industry, further strengthening Changi's position as a major cargo hub in the world."
A leading cargo hub in Asia and among the top 10 in the world, Changi handled 1.85 million tonnes of cargo in 2015. Pharmaceuticals are one of the best performing cargo segments, growing a robust 45 percent year-on-year in 2015.

Raymede Street, W10
People line up along Raymede Street - occasion and date unknown
Raymede Street, after severe bomb damage in the area, disappeared after 1950.
For some years after the construction of the Hammersmith and City Railway, cricket fields lay to the north of the railway embankment. Here on one occasion the Notting Hill Flower Show and Home Improvement Society held its Exhibition, and the Duke and Duchess of Teck, accompanied by their young daughter, distributed the prizes. But in the middle seventies a series of residential roads were planned running parallel with the railway, and as these roads were continued east across
Ladbroke Grove
, they linked up this district with the smaller houses of the
Portobello Road
The plan of 1865 shows that building plots along the south end of
Ladbroke Grove
had been leased by Colonel St. Quintin to Charles H. Blake, Esq., who already owned much property on the top of St. John's Hill.
Shortly after the St Michael and All Angels church was opened, the freehold of eleven acres of Portobello Estate was obtained for St Charles's College, and by 1874 a handsome range of buildings in red brick and stone, with a central tower, 140 feet high, stood surrounded by a garden and recreation grounds. This college, dedicated to St. Charles of Borromeo, was founded by Cardinal Manning in order to provide education at a moderate cost for Catholic youths.
Marylebone Infirmary was one of the earliest experiments both in taking the sick poor outside the boundaries of their parish and in arranging an Infirmary on purely hospital lines. Only a few wards were occupied when the hospital was opened by the Prince and Princess of Wales. In 1884 Marylebone Infirmary became also a Training School for Nightingale Nurses, financed from the Nightingale Fund.
Besides the large area of the Portobello Estate occupied by these extensive institutions, many builders in a small way of business bought land and put up houses for working-class tenants. Building plots were being taken up by 1877, but the north side of
Rackham Street
was open ground. The inhabitants were largely laundry-workers and casual labourers, an overflow from Kensal New Town. Edinburgh Road Board-school, now known as
Barlby Road
School, was placed in 1880 among the half-made streets near the Great Western Railway line ; and children from temporary schools in Kensal Town and at
Rackham Street
Hall were transferred to the new building.
When the school was first opened pigs were slaughtered in a shed close by, and for many years carpets were beaten on the adjoining open space. On a summer day the noise made by the beaters, and the dust from the dirty carpets, floated in at the open windows of the school.

Commentary by Karen Bernardo
Eudora Welty's "Why I Live at the P.O." is told in the first person by a woman we know only as Sister. Sister is the postmistress of the smallest post office in Mississippi, but at the beginning of the story she lives at home with her mother, grandfather, and uncle. Her younger sister has married and moved away, and Sister is basking in her new role as only child.
The fact that she's never had this much attention before can be seen from her nickname— "Sister." During her childhood, she has obviously existed in the shadow of the family's favorite child, Stella-Rondo, and her only role in the family is that of Stella-Rondo's sister. Nor is Stella-Rondo's popularity confined to the four walls of their home; Sister claims Stella-Rondo stole her boyfriend too, and married him. Sister's resentment bristles from every sentence.
But life has gotten better for Sister until Stella-Rondo leaves her husband and moves back into her mother's house with a two-year-old child, Shirley-T. Stella-Rondo insists the child is adopted; Sister doubts this. A new world war has begun.
In a functional family, the question of whether Stella-Rondo's child is or is not adopted would seem to be irrelevant; all it could possibly prove is whether Stella-Rondo had sex before marriage. But Sister and Stella-Rondo need something to fight over in their endless struggle for dominance. Just as she "stole" Sister's boyfriend, Stella-Rondo now maneuvers to steal the family's affection away from Sister. In the middle of dinner, Stella-Rondo suddenly tells her grandfather that Sister thinks he should cut off the beard he's been growing all his life (there is no evidence Sister has ever said any such thing). In every scene, Stella-Rondo manages to make herself look increasingly innocent, while making her sister look increasingly viperish.
But Sister figures two can play that game. In a conversation with her mother, she manages to plant a tiny seed of doubt about the ancestry of Stella-Rondo's so-called "adopted" child. No one has ever heard Stella-Rondo's daughter speak; and on Sister's prompting, Mama recalls that Stella-Rondo's estranged husband drank like a fish. In fact, she says, "I believed to my soul he drank chemicals." Mama rushes downstairs to determine for herself whether Shirley-T might possibly be brain-damaged. But this is a game Sister can't win. Not only can Shirley-T speak; she can sing "Popeye the Sailor-Man."
The family continues to bicker over one thing or another, until Sister packs up all her possessions and moves to the post office, feeling very much abused. Despite the fact that "Why I Live at the P.O." is a hysterically funny story, Sister's dispossession is all too real. We've read Sister's side of the tale; it would be interesting to hear Stella-Rondo's.

Could Injection Molding Strategies and Teaching Help Your Foreseeable Future in the Business?
To begin with, injection molding training requires the procedure to better stage of precision-construction it best for intricate, critical-use plastic-type material parts along with goods. Much more businesses are usually turning to be able to molding for their very own use, intricate parts along with devices, or maybe molded plastic-type material parts, due to the fact the normal molding processes they get applied inside the previous simply can not meet their particular present merchandise specifications. Medical molding is dependent on devices and complex software that will monitor each and every phase associated with the injection-molding process. This kind of allows engineers for you to control as well as adjust, throughout real time period, critical parameters like temp, flow price, fill pace, and air conditioning temperature for you to sustain the precise, repeatable generation procedure.
Many of us utilize the actual comprehensive teaching and instruments of scientific molding training, because it is almost all helpful throughout diverse stages, right after the instrument has also been created and also debugged. The particular process evaluates the fill up, pack, and also hold levels separately; actually, our own molding technicians are exclusively trained inside each associated with these phases. The information enables the architectural team to be able to totally realize, down for you to molecular quantities, what is happening through each period of the particular injection process. Any kind of versions within key details like heat, flow costs, viscosity, content, and so on may become detected as well as fixed inside seconds, making sure consistent top quality.
Because most the information is saved, scientific molding seminars can easily easily repeat the producing process while needed – even whenever generation will be transferred via one device to another-saving a incredible amount associated with setup moment. This is actually also important for validating the method and appointment any regulating needs.Simply by utilizing their own molding knowledge, material scientific research information, along with ability to be able to solve problems, our technical engineers design sturdy and repeatable processes that will consistently supply top-quality elements with higher tolerances.
This particular effects throughout much greater reputability as well as instances or higher control likened to classic molding strategies – decreasing charges by keeping time as well as materials. Operation of scientific guidelines for your current injection method are generally mandatory intended for constant, high high quality, repeatable production final results. This procedure consists of some sort of sample work of your own part with the conclusion of the actual process throughout order for you to guarantee proper molding as well as function.
