With time, many other designers have enhanced and developed the paper model, while using it as a fundamentally useful tool in aircraft design. One of the earliest known applied (as in compound structures and many other aerodynamic refinements) modern paper plane was in 1909.[citation needed]
In recent years, paper model aircraft have gained great sophistication, and Origami Heart Box With Lid very high airline flight performance far removed from their origami origins, yet even origami aircraft have gained many new and exciting designs over the years, and gained much in conditions of trip performance.
In 1930 Jack Northrop (co-founder of Lockheed Corporation) used document planes as test models for larger aircraft. Within Germany, during the 1930s, designers at Heinkel and Junkers used paper models in order to create basic performance and structural forms in important tasks, like the Heinkel 111 and Junkers 88 tactical bomber programmes.
The most significant use of paper Origami Paper Near Me models in aircraft designs were by the Wright brothers between 1899 and 1903, the day of the very first powered flight from Kill Devil Hillsides, by the Wright Flyer. The Wrights used a wind tunnel to gain knowledge of the forces which could be used to control an aircraft in flight. They built numerous paper models, and tested them within their wind tunnel. By observing the forces produced by flexing the heavy paper models within the wind flow tunnel, the Wrights decided that control through flight surfaces by warping Bateau De Papier Chanson Hugues Aufray would be most effective, and action identical to the later hinged aileron and elevator surfaces used today. Their paper models were very important in the process of moving forward to progressively larger models, prêt-à-monter, gliders and in the end on to the powered Flyer (in conjunction with the development of lightweight petrol engines). In this way, the paper model plane remains a very important key in the college graduation from model to manned heavier-than-air flight.
There were many design improvements, including velocity, raise, propulsion, style and fashion, over subsequent years.
Origami Paper Folding There's no need to lay our a fortune on your kids to have fun! You can spend quality time with these right at home.
Trust me they may be more likely to bear in mind the special times you spent together making that special paper craft than they are going away to Disneyland or something.
Paper crafts will give them a sense of achievement. Let them make something beautiful and let them enjoy your compliment. I'm hoping there are plenty of
a lot of useful papers folding ideas, kids crafts and origami things for you and the kids right here on this site. No need to go out and buy paper crafts when you already have all the materials right there within your house.
For over a thousand years after this, paper aircraft were the dominant man-made heavier-than-air craft whose principles could be readily appreciated, though thanks to their high drag coefficients, not of an exceptional performance when gliding over long ranges. The pioneers of run flight have all analyzed paper Bateau En Papier Facile model aircraft in order to create larger machines. Da Vinci wrote of the building of any model plane out of parchment, and of testing some of his early ornithopter, an aircraft that flies by flapping wings, and parachute designs using paper models. Thereafter, Sir George Cayley explored the performance of paper gliders in the late 19th century. Some other pioneers, such as Craigslist? ment Ader, Prof. Charles Langley, and Alberto Santos-Dumont often tested ideas with paper as well as balsa models to validate (in scale) their theories before putting Avion En Papier Pro them into practice.
The origin|The foundationairplane diagram is generally considered to be of Ancient China, although there is equivalent evidence that the processing and development of folded gliders occurred in equivalent measure in Japan. Definitely, manufacture of paper on a widespread scale required place in China 500 BCE, and origami and paper folding became popular within a century of this period, approximately 460-390 BCE. It is impossible to ascertain where and in what form the first paper aircraft were constructed, or even the first paper plane's form.

Spring Greens Breakfast Pizza
Let me just say, when it comes to taste and color, there is just no comparison to store bought spinach and this smoothie ROCKED.
I was also lucky enough to be the recipient of some freshly cut asparagus (thanks neighbor!) and knew exactly what I wanted to do with them. Most of the time, I like to dress my asparagus up simply with a little olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper and bake at 400 F for about 10 minutes. Pretty simple and straight forward. But between the spinach, basil and asparagus I had sitting around and my intense craving for pizza the other day, I decided a spring greens pizza was in order.
This pizza is light and nutrient (veggie!) dense with a good dose of healthy fats from the pesto. I used naan bread as my base, because it's quick, healthy and the perfect size for a personal pizza.
[Yields 1 personal sized pizza]
1 naan round
1/4 c. basil pesto sauce (see recipe below)
1/4 c. mozzarella cheese, shredded
1-2 asparagus spears, peeled into strips
1/2 c. spinach, shredded into small pieces
1 egg
Preheat your oven to 375 F. Place naan bread rounds on a pizza stone, or lined baking pan, and spread with 1/4 c. basil pesto each (see recipe below). Top with 1/4 c. cheese of choice (I like mozzarella for this recipe but parmesan would work well also!) Top with strips of peeled asparagus and shredded spinach. Place in the oven for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven, crack open your egg and gently place on center of pizza. You may consider making a small indentation in the center to keep the egg from running off the side! Place pizza back into the oven and switch oven to low broil for approx 2-3 minutes. Watch closely to ensure that the pizza crust does not burn and removed with egg is cooked to desired consistency (I like mine slightly runny).
Congrats to Wendy from Winchester, who is the winner of my giveaway from Mountain Primadonna! I hope to do another giveaway soon!

The Chemnitz plant produces engines for the entire Volkswagen Group. The portfolio includes low-consumption direct injection gasoline engines and CNG engines as well as engine components such as balance shafts and integrated valve gear modules. Some 15 million engines have been produced there since the plant was founded. Chemnitz has already been recognized with many accolades for its innovative manufacturing technologies and efficient products. The reductions in the weight of fast-moving parts such as crankshafts and integrated balance shafts play a key role in lowering fuel consumption.
Press releases
Volkswagen has already built 200 pre-production vehicles of the new electric car ID.3Conversion of the vehicle factory in Zwickau to the largest production site for electric mobility in Europe is right on schedule. The members of Volkswagen's Group and Brand Boards of Management, as well as the Group Works Council, were able to see that for themselves at today's site symposium for all three locations in Saxony held at Zwickau. The focus was on preparations for start-up of the new ID.3 and building the expertise required for that. More than 200 pre-production vehicles of the ID.3 have already been manufactured successfully. The first ID. production vehicles are to roll off the assembly line at the end of 2019. Only e-cars will be built at Zwickau by the end of 2020 – up to 1,500 a day for Volkswagen and other Group brands.

DoD announces new mobile strategy
The Defense Department released a mobile device strategy on June 15, 2012. The plan focuses on three areas considered crucial to mobility: wireless infrastructure, the devices themselves, and mobile applications.
"The Department of Defense is taking a leadership role in leveraging mobile device technology to improve information sharing, collaboration and efficiencies," said Teri Takai, the department's chief information officer. "As today's DoD personnel become increasingly mobile, a wide variety of devices offers unprecedented opportunities to advance the operational effectiveness of the DoD workforce. This strategy will allow mobile activities across the department to converge towards a common vision and approach."
Among the challenges in implementing this new strategy is ensuring that there are appropriate certification and validation strategies in place that will facilitate the use of these devices on defense networks.
BYOD – Bring Your Own Device – has become one of the most important issues in security today. At the Gartner conference last week, analysts described how hackers have been able to hijack data and calls on mobile devices through malware and spoofing.
Gartner recommends a layered strategy for fraud prevention on mobile devices that starts with endpoint and navigation security and moves to behavior analysis across the various channels the users engage in. The DoD plan starts down this road. "The architecture must enable the management of mobile devices, applications and network connections to secure the interfaces between DoD networks and commercial networks," the strategy states. "Additionally, it must employ DoD Public Key Infrastructure security, access and identification controls at the network, device and application levels."
For more information about how layered security can help mitigate fraud and data loss for your mobile users, contact us.

The footage beneath the credit roll at the beginning of the new Netflix doc Quincy shows the legendary producer and musician Quincy Jones's various awards and accomplishments. They're all kept in the kind of vanity room that exists in many of the large gated homes in northwest Los Angeles.
Slowly perusing the trophies of the man who has won 27 Grammys, recorded over 300 albums and boasts perhaps the most storied pop culture resume of the late 20th Century is another music titan, Dr. Dre. He's on hand to interview a man he considers a mentor, and one of a clown car of celebrities that appear over the course of the film. "Wow," he says.
And that's about as deep, revealing and complicated as this bloated documentary gets, folks. At over two hours long, the film not only reveals little about its subject that wasn't already readily known, but also provides minimal perspective or analysis of why and how he was able to develop his talent.
Put together with four years worth of footage, but without an organizing principle, Quincy is meant to be a loose, extended hang with an elderly gentleman who has been the coolest person in any room he has stepped into for the better part of seven decades.
Unfortunately, the flame-throwing truth teller that has spit venom about his famous friends in widely shared interviews (like this year's notorious Vulture Q&A) is largely absent from the picture. The man in his place says little that is interesting or illuminating; he's like an agreeable hepcat Yoda dispensing treacly bits of wisdom ("Be humble with your creativity.") when he is not reciting lists of the boldface names with which he has crossed paths during his remarkable life. Indeed, if name-dropping were an Olympic sport, the man they call Q would have twice the gold medals of Michael Phelps.
Directed by his daughter Rashida Jones (who produced and directed the Netflix docu-series, Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On) and Alan Hicks (the Australian musician and director of the 2014 Clark Terry documentary Keep On Keepin' On), the approach of the filmmakers is deferential to the point that they seem hesitant to push him on anything. As a result, we get few glimpses of Jones' inner life.
For example, much is made of Jones' mother Sarah, who was mentally ill and forcefully taken to an institution in a straitjacket when he was seven. We are told that he spent his childhood worried she was going to break out and murder him and his brother. How did this early trauma affect his relationships with women? No one bothered to ask Jones, who has been married three times and has had seven children—six daughters and one son—with five different women.
The film is at its strongest when Jones is reflecting rather than pontificating. It is moving when we see him in footage from 1989 revisiting his childhood home on the South Side of Chicago, or in 2016 when he first enters the Smithsonian's National Museum of African-American History and Culture and seems haunted by the ghosts that stare back at him. "Smelly," he exclaims upon seeing the visage of Michael Jackson, his nickname for the man with whom he made Thriller. ("Smelly jelly," is what Jackson called a particularly tasty beat.)
One of the few times he says something incisive is when he is filmed being interviewed by a Washington Post journalist and discusses, among other things, the murder of Trayvon Martin. The presence of a trained question asker sticks out like a sore thumb. (A typical question from his daughter is, "Dad, how do you handle your ego and your art?") Race and death seem to be constantly on Jones' mind, but these urgent matters are mainly ignored by the filmmakers, as if exploring substantive topics might harsh the chill mood—or ire a man they both obviously adore.
Along with "man" and "baby," it becomes clear over the course of the film that the 85-year-old's favorite words are "bullshit" and "motherfucker." The former is the corny nonsense that he could do without, and the latter he uses like an angry compliment to describe men of purpose.
This movie needs to do away with the bullshit, because this motherfucker has something to say. Sadly, nobody is bothering to ask.

- KB Home
- The Campaigns
- Campaigns - Scrape Posts Feature
Publishing quality contents regularly is a good way to encourage engagement on your account. But curating contents could be challenging and there are moments when you just run dry of ideas. To make it easier, Jarvee includes several options on how you can add a post on your Campaigns.
And one of the easiest ways that you can use to get content that you can publish using a campaign, is the SCRAPE POSTS option.
Where is the Scrape Posts feature?
The Scrape Posts is an option available for Standard and Volume Campaigns only. To start using this feature, click on your Campaign > go to What To Publish tab > click SCRAPE POSTS sub-tab.
From here, you can choose to scrape from 3 sources:
- Pinterest Source
- Twitter Source
- Facebook Source
Pinterest Source
If you want to scrape from Pinterest, click on Add Pinterest Source button and a new window will appear. On this window, you need to add the source URL where Jarvee will search for posts.
Start Scraping from Pinterest Source:
- URL, # Posts and #Errors column
- You can select the Pinterest account that will be used to extract posts. That said, if you don't have any Valid Pinterest account in your Social Profiles, you will not be able to extract posts from Pinterest.
- When you start the scrape action, you can see the #Posts extracted; this will get updated each time Jarvee does a scrape action
- The #Errors that occurred during scrape action will also be visible there
- The Template column
- Set up your post caption in the Post Text Template
- You can either input your own caption or choose to use any of the supported tokens – [DESCRIPTION], [URL], [SOURCEURL], [TITLE] and it will be replaced by the corresponding post detail
- For Source URL template, you can either put your own URL or you can use the [SOURCEURL] to use the source url used by the owner of posts you scrapped
- The Filters column
- You narrow down the posts you want to scrape by using filters.
- Either scrape posts that have that certain keyword OR skip posts that have a negative keyword
- Aside from filtering via keywords, you may also indicate your preferred image width and height.
- Moreover, you can scrape posts that have a minimum and maximum number of repins.
- The Settings column
- Use the fast extraction method to ignore filters; the caption will be ignored as well
- You can choose to add the image to the scrapped posts.
- Pick to ignore posts without images
- You may choose to automatically add the post to the Posts List tab or to the Drafts tab
- You can opt to limit the description length to a maximum of X characters
- Control the number of items to extract
- Select the number of posts to extract when you click 'Get x to Drafts'
- Set how long Jarvee will scroll the page to search for posts
- Specify how often Jarvee will run the extraction to get new items
- You can also extract the title of the post if applicable
- Actions
- Click on the Start button to start the extraction
- Get x posts to draft is used when you want to send a couple of posts to Drafts
- You can delete the Pinterest source when you want
- Hit 'Set as Default' when you want all future Pinterest sources to use the filters and setting you've configured on that particular source
- If you want to replicate the settings and filters to all existing Pinterest sources you've added, you can use the Copy Settings
Twitter Source
For scraping posts from Twitter, just click the Add Twitter Source button and add a valid Twitter Source URL in the designated box.
Start Scraping from Twitter Source:
There is just a slight difference with regards to the filtering options when scraping from a Twitter source.
Apart from filtering based on keywords, image 'width and height', 'minimum and maximum number of Retweets', you can further narrow the search based on the age of the tweet and you can choose to skip retweets.
Facebook Source
While you can use the Share Post option of the campaign to share posts from a Facebook Page, you can also extract posts using the Scrape Posts feature.
The Scrape Posts option provides a wider selection for mining contents from Facebook. You can scrape posts from your account wall, friend's wall, a page, group or albums. To start, just click on the Add Facebook Source button.
Start Scraping from Facebook Source:
The scraping process and parameters are the same as that of Pinterest and Twitter.
Note that each time you add a source URL, 5 example posts are extracted and sent to the Drafts tab. You have the option to send extracted posts directly to the Posts List tab should you prefer it that way.
Also, the extraction will work only if the campaign is Started

I've tried these Parmigiano cheese straws. Not only they're super easy to make… but they make wonderful hors d'oevres because they are the first thing guests go for 😉
Here is the recipe:
Homemade Cheese Straws {Makes about 3 Dozen}
* All-purpose flour, for work surface
* Puff Pastry
* 12 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated medium-fine (about 4 cups)
* 1 large egg, lightly beaten
* Coarse salt
1. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pastry dough to a 9-by-20-inch rectangle.
2. Sprinkle 3/4 cup cheese over center of dough. Starting at the near short end, fold dough into thirds, enclosing cheese.
3. Wrap in plastic; refrigerate 1 hour. Repeat. Wrap in plastic; refrigerate at least 4 hours or you can even leave it overnight.
4. Cut dough in half; wrap half in plastic, and refrigerate. On a lightly floured surface, roll out half the dough to a 12-by-15-inch rectangle about 1/8 inch thick. (Do not press too hard on edges.)
5. Using a pastry brush, dust off excess flour; brush beaten egg over dough until well moistened. Sprinkle 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons cheese and a pinch of salt over the lower half of dough. Fold top half over cheese-covered half. Gently press to seal. Brush top of dough with beaten egg; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons cheese and a pinch of salt.
6. Trim dough to 12 by 6 1/2 inches with a pastry wheel or knife. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough, cheese, and salt.
7. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Using a pastry wheel, cut dough into 3/8-by-12-inch strips; twist into spirals. Space 1/2 inch apart on baking sheets. Press ends onto sheets to prevent straws from straightening. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate 30 minutes.
8. Bake until golden and cooked through, about 18 minutes. Loosen straws from sheets with a thin spatula; transfer to a wire rack to cool. Store in airtight containers at room temperature up to 1 day.
The recipe makes it looks more complicating than it actually is. I promise once you start it is super easy.

FiLaC® for the treatment of anal fistulas is now also applicable to the treatment of pilonidal cysts – ELVeS Radial™ laser therapy for varicose vein treatment equipped with safe Fusion technology – new LEONARDO® laser usable in different fields of therapy – advanced technology through intense research – laser therapies by biolitec® convince in the treatment areas of phlebology, gynecology, ENT, urology, and thoracic surgery as well
Jena, 16. November, 2015 – biolitec®, technology leader for minimally invasive laser therapies, presents its outstanding solution for the treatment of pilonidal cysts at this year"s Medica: Originally developed for the treatment of anal fistulas, FiLaC® is now also applicable to treat pilonidal cysts.
Just as with the treatment of anal fistulas with FiLaC®, a flexible and especially designed laser probe is inserted into the fistula tract of the pilonidal cyst. Through the radiating laser light and a slow retraction, the fistula tissue is precisely closed. The tissue surrounding the fistula tract is not damaged or removed, therefore large wounds which cause a long period of recovery or scarves due to skin flaps can be avoided. This is a significant advantage compared to traditional therapies. That way, patients profit from the FiLaC® laser therapy which helps to avoid incontinence and also spares the healthy tissue. A maximum patient comfort is guaranteed.
ELVeS Radial™, biolitec"s flagship-treatment for varicose veins, also profits from the developments by biolitec®. Through intense years of research, biolitec® has succeeded in its quest to create a unique system in terms of safety and flexibility for the endoluminal treatment of varicose veins, and invented the 2ring™ fiber technology. ELVeS Radial 2ring™ with its 360° radiation splits the power in two phases which leads to an effective closure of the vein. The ELVeS Radial slim™ fiber was designed specifically for the treatment of perforator veins and small saphenous veins, whereas larger veins can be treated with the genuine ELVeS Radial 2ring™ fiber. Due to the differentiated areas of application the ELVeS Radial 2ring™ products by biolitec® are the ideal solution for the treatment of varicose veins.
The passion for innovation is particularly noticeable in biolitec"s unique products. The pioneering LEONARDO® laser is the most versatile medical laser on the market. Since it features two wavelengths, 980 nm and 1470 nm, it can be used in a variety of medical disciplines. Furthermore, this diode laser is the most compact one and can be operated intuitively.
Because of the FUSION® technology by biolitec®, the biolitec® fibers are market leaders in their respective application area. The new FUSION® technology makes the use of biolitec® fibers especially safe during treatments, whether it is a treatment of anal fistulas or pilonidal cysts, varicose veins with ELVeS Radial™, or treatment in the fields of gynecology, ENT, or thoracic surgery. With FUSION®, the silica glass caps are fused to the fibers instead of just glued, so they resist even the highest temperatures and mechanical strains during procedures. That way, a high-quality standard and safety are secured and procedures can be performed in the most precise way, also avoiding side effects.
For further information on the gentle laser therapy by biolitec® please visit www.biolitec.com. Additional information for patients can be obtained under www.info-krampfader.de, www.info-analfistel.de, www.info-steissbeinfistel.de, or via the information hotline 01805/010276.
Visitors at Medica can inform themselves about the variety of products offered by biolitec at booth H46 in hall 10, from November 16-19, 2015.
About biolitec:
Biolitec is one of the leading companies worldwide in the field of medical laser treatments and the only provider that possesses all relevant core competencies – photosensitizers, laser devices and optical fibers – in the field of photodynamic therapy (PDT). Besides laser-based treatment of cancer with the drug Foscan®, biolitec primarily researches on minimally-invasive and gentle laser treatments and markets them. ELVeS Radial™ (Endo Laser Vein System) is the most often used laser system worldwide for the treatment of varicose veins. In combination with the Ceralas® HPD laser, the innovative contact fiber XCAVATOR® enables a gentle treatment of e.g. benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in urology. The new LEONARDO® diode laser by biolitec® is the first universally applicable medical laser which features a combination of two wavelengths, 980nm and 1470nm, and is suitable for interdisciplinary use. Gentle laser treatments in the fields of proctology, ENT, gynecology, thoracic surgery as well as pneumology also belong to the business field of biolitec. Further information at www.biolitec.com.

I'm not sure what you mean. One doesn't *have* to import any module, just use Module:Function(). The only thing importing does is let you write less text (i.e. just Function()), at the price of having to worry about function name clashes. best regards, Vlad

"What kind of Jewish food do you think we could put into a pastelito?" Giovanni Fesser asks while poaching a few dozen eggs in the subterranean kitchen of Ariete (3540 Main Hwy., Coconut Grove; 305-640-5862; arietemiami.com). The answer: lox and cream cheese. But chef/owner Michael Beltran recalls they tried that once. "The cream cheese ran everywhere, and the lox cooked — it didn't taste right," he says.
This time, the two have a plan. They'll bake puff pastry rounds, cool them, split them open, and stuff them with soft cheese and salmon. Finally, they'll shower them with the same seeds that appear on everything bagels. It's similar to a previous pastelito that was filled with sweet banana jam and tangy chicken liver mousse.
Here, in the kitchen they call "the dungeon," Miami's most exciting pastelitos are being dreamed up. Over the past two years, Fesser, a burly, bearded 38-year-old, has begun making inventive pastries from thoughtful ingredients. Amazingly, he's done it in his few free moments between finishing the stocks, mixing the sauces, and performing other prep work the restaurant needs to run day-to-day.
On a recent Sunday morning, he turned out a peanut butter and jelly pastelito using homemade jam, alongside a classic guava one made with beautifully floral-tasting and -smelling fruits from the Redland farm PG Tropical. There was one filled with tender pulled pork and another with spicy, salty Buffalo chicken crowned with a thin squiggle of blue cheese. They combined the salty richness of the best savory dishes with enough sweetness to make them uncontrollably addictive.
Fesser was born in Las Vegas and moved to Miami when he was barely out of diapers. Growing up, Karla Bakery — the Central Dade classic — was the family's sweet spot. "My grandfather would buy pastelitos for us religiously before school," he says. "And I still do it."
At the age of 19, he took a job in the kitchen at Duffy's Tavern in Coral Gables before bouncing to a nearby Chili's, where he spent four years. Soon, however, he decided to sign up for cooking classes at North Miami's Johnson & Wales University. After finishing, he landed a gig at Tarpon Bend on Miracle Mile. Then he wanted a bigger challenge. "I'd been working in kitchens for so long I felt comfortable," he says. "But I knew there was more I could do."
So he popped into Norman Van Aken's now-shuttered Norman's 180 and applied for a spot as a line cook. Once hired, he gained a new appreciation for hard work and ingredients from the elder statesman. The experience proved transformational.
"Had I not worked there, I wouldn't know anything," Fesser says. "I wouldn't have met Mike [Beltran], I wouldn't know how to cook, I wouldn't know about local farms — nothing." After the restaurant closed in 2011, he followed Van Aken to Tuyo in downtown Miami before linking back up with Beltran to become Ariete's executive sous-chef.
Over time, he continued to delve deeper into the world of pastelitos and realized the city was crying out for something better. Inspiration struck about two years ago while he was awake in the middle of the night watching episodes of Food Network's Diners, Drive-ins and Dives and videos of entrepreneur and speaker Gary Vaynerchuk. For some reason, he began thinking about pastelitos. At the time, the lone purveyor of exciting creations wrapped in flaky, sugar-glazed puff pastry was Andy Herrera's Breadman Miami, which offers choices such as Nutella with sweet cheese.
"People were freaking out," Fesser says, "and I knew this was it."
A short time later, he and Beltran created a pastelito filled with headcheese and fish-sauce caramel for a South Beach Wine & Food event. Miami's "Pastelito Papi," as he's known on Instagram, was born. Soon he began slowly adding pastries to Ariete's brunch menu. The first success was the frita. The combination of spicy chorizo and beef with onions and ketchup proved perfectly suited to puff pastry.
Next came the Miami cheesesteak with chopped palomilla steak mixed with complete seasoning, lime juice, boiled yuca, and touches of cream and white cheddar. There's all the fatty richness of Cheez Whiz without the twinge of guilt for coating one's arteries with industrial neon sludge.
From there, word began to spread. Regular restaurant customers would call to see what he was creating. Fesser also began collaborating with chefs and cooks.

He and Matteson Koche, who runs El Bagel, the food truck that's open Saturdays behind Boxelder Craft Beer Market, conjured up a baklava pastelito. The complex nuttiness of crushed pistachios elevates the pastry from a sugar rush to something important. Last month, he began delivering pastries to Melanie and Jason Schonedorfer's Babe's Meat & Counter, and another idea germinated. "They gave me a bunch of pastrami scraps, so I'm going to start working up a Reuben pastelito," Fesser says.
What's next is unclear. At the moment, there are thoughts of a standalone operation. It's anyone's guess how popular the pastries will become. Consider that last Sunday just before noon, a gentleman in a pastel polo shirt strode into the restaurant and stood at the bar as Fesser emerged from downstairs with two boxes of pastries. The man lifted his aviator sunglasses and lovingly gazed at the cook's creations. Clearly, something is happening, and this is only the beginning.
For years, a close friend has been making an otherworldly smoked pork for cookouts and other gatherings. Fesser wants to use it for a pan con lechón pastelito with house-made mojo and crisp bits of chicharrón. He's working with a Brazilian friend to create another variety, filled with the ginger-heavy shrimp stew he called curu curu.
"I want to do a crab-cake pastelito, a croqueta preparada, and one called a cangrejito that looks like a crab but is filled with ham," Fesser says. "I have so many ideas, but I'm most excited about anything where I can collaborate with a chef from another culture and their food is interesting."

It snowed today.
And yet my hellebore bloomed.
What a treasure in the barren landscape!
I need to plant more.
Sometimes referred to as 'Christmas Rose' or 'Lenten Rose', hellebores are the
stars of the late winter/early spring garden. Plants generally bloom between
December and March in cultivation, though some begin earlier, and others
continue into April and May, particularly in gardens with colder spring climates.
Nearly every garden has a spot for hellebores, and the plants will thrive in many
different environments. Still, they remain unknown to many gardeners despite
their toughness, beauty, hardiness, and wonderful habit of blooming in winter
when most other plants remain dormant.

I riti di Trapani
Trapani, ITALY Since before the Easter of 1612 in Trapani, the Mysteries is a 24 hours long procession featuring 20 floats of lifelike scenes of the Passion's events, cypress wooden statues adorned with gold and coral, running in the Good Friday and Saturday by the "Massari". Each of the 20 groups of statues represent typical local jobs (fishermen, blacksmiths, salt workers...). From 2pm on Good Friday the statues are accompanied by local bands and spectators, and the procession continues until 2pm on Saturday when the statues are returned to the Chiesa del Purgatorio where they are kept. The Mysteries are amongst the oldest religious events in Europe and one of most evocative procession in Sicily and in Italy.

I've been reminded a few times this week of how little there is in the way of investment opportunity in the current marketplace, and that we are drowning in a sea of cash.
Recently I read an article about how Warren Buffett (or to be more specific, Buffett's company Berkshire Hathaway), has $116 billion to spend. Berkshire Hathaway got shut out of a few deals last year so their cash hoard has gotten bigger. A lot bigger. Buffett said part of the reason they got shut out of the two big deals they worked on last year was because interest rates are so low, the other suitors were able to borrow and offer a lot more than he and Charlie Munger were willing to spend. Buffett and Munger will use debt when called for, but always evaluate a deal on a cash basis first.
Stock prices have been higher only once before. Can you say party like it's 1999? I guess we might as well.
A lot of our clients invest in real estate, and more of our clients are headed that way as stock prices soar. But now real estate prices (and property taxes) are skyrocketing too. Even in places that have never been hot markets before, hedge fund managers are deploying cash in amounts never seen before to buy up everything and anything they can in the search for yield.
In 2014 oil went from over $130 a barrel to under $40 a barrel, and the other commodities followed it off the cliff. So I told clients to emphasize commodities in their portfolios. Now even commodities are well off their lows and I've read about investment managers recommending them. Prices in this asset class are nowhere near those of the paper assets (stocks and bonds), but there's still a sea of cash swishing around.
There is simply too much cash chasing too few investments.
I'm reading Mohamed El-Erian's The Only Game in Town. In it, he staunchly defends decisions made by central
So, you may be wondering: OK, what the heck do I do about it? And you'd be wise to question this.
When I say there are high valuations everywhere you look, I'm generalizing. Obviously, there are opportunities in every market, but at times like this, you have to be patient, very patient, and look long and hard to find them. When you do, there will be lots of competition for them, so having a pile of cash will help you to capitalize when you find yourself in the right place at the right time.
That said, be mindful of getting caught up in bidding wars if others sniff your deal out before you close on it. Also, if you have not allocated any of your long-term investment money to commodities and natural resources, there's still time. As an asset class, they have not been driven into la-la land, yet. They say patience is a virtue. In the world of investing, it can make or break you.

Nick Hurd MP, The Times. 'Out-of-date rules must not come before compassion for those who need medicinal cannabis'
This article by Nick Hurd MP, the Home Office Minister, is re-published from the Times of Friday, 29th June 2018.
It is the most significant recent government statement on cannabis.
"Out-of-date rules must not come before compassion for those who need medicinal cannabis
There are times when life presents a situation for which the status quo is no longer viable; when the case for compassion stands in direct challenge to the rules of the day. This is perhaps no better illustrated than in the case of two young boys and their need for a medicine current legislation does not allow within the UK.
The laws restricting access to cannabis-related medicine in this country have stood for decades. The highly emotive cases of Alfie Dingley and Billy Caldwell have brought home the urgent need to reconsider those rules.
It is impossible not to feel huge empathy for parents expressing their desperation at the difficulty of accessing a treatment they consider essential to the health and wellbeing of their children. I am very aware that behind those high-profile cases stand other families and individuals experiencing the same frustration at the current restrictions.
The home secretary and I are in the process of reviewing the case for rescheduling cannabis-related medicine. This review will be evidence led and should be completed in the autumn.
If medicinal and therapeutic benefits are identified, the intention would be to reschedule cannabis-related medicine as a treatment available through GPs. Whilst recent cases in the media have involved epilepsy this would be open to patients suffering from all illnesses where such treatment is identified to benefit them.
While we await this review, we are confined to working within the existing rules which require a licence. I am delighted that we were able to issue one on behalf of Alfie Dingley — the first ever licence for the long-term treatment of an individual using cannabis-related medicine in the UK.
However, this process took too long and I want to thank Alfie's family and the clinical team for their patience in working with us to reach this landmark.
We have also issued an emergency licence to treat Billy Caldwell at the request of his clinical team at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. I have assured Ms Caldwell that Billy will continue to have access to the medicine should his medical team request it and have made clear that we will do what we can to facilitate a long-term licence application for Billy.
We have worked intensively to put in place a much better route for clinicians to secure licences on behalf of their patients until a decision is taken on rescheduling. An expert panel of clinicians will advise Ministers on individual applications. I want to reassure those involved that we are determined to strip this process of any unnecessary bureaucracy. As such, any application can expect to receive a final decision within two to four weeks.
We also want to remove anxiety on fees and are committed to urgently reviewing the fees paid for licences that are awarded as a result of the advice of the expert panel.
The bottom line is that we do not want people to suffer needlessly because of rules and processes that no longer feel fit for purpose."
A Quick, Easy Guide to The New UK Arrangements For Access To Cannabis As Medicine.
There's already an awful lot of misunderstanding over the arrangements just introduced for medicinal cannabis and there's no need for it because, to be fair, the government has been very clear.
There is an interim procedure which will be very, very difficult for most to achieve. You must have very strong support from your doctor and they, together with your local NHS Trust, must be prepared to put in a lot of work, form-filling and pay some substantial licensing fees. It's all explained here. If you don't understand it, don't worry. Your doctor will and it's only if he/she is prepared to pursue this path for you that you have any chance at all.
There also seems to be an idea that there's a list of conditions for which cannabis will be available. There's no truth in this at all. It's up to your doctor and if they pursue this interim procedure, they will have to make the case why cannabis will work for you.
For most people, you are going have to wait until the autumn when cannabis will be re-scheduled and available on prescription from your GP. It will then be up to you to persuade your doctor. The biggest problem is likely to be that most doctors simply have no understanding of cannabis at all. Now would be a good time to start gathering together all the scientific evidence you can find about using cannabis to treat your condition(s).
Something is going to have to be done about introducing some training for doctors. Since December 2017, the Royal College of GPs has had a set of guidelines ready to issue to doctors but it's been sitting on them. These were authored by CLEAR, clinical information by Professor Mike Barnes with methods of use and harm reduction information by Peter Reynolds. We are urging the Royal College to make these available to doctors immediately.
Initially the products available are likely to be the Bedrocan range but we expect some of the Canadian companies will quickly make products available. We also expect NICE to re-visit Sativex and reassess its cost-effectiveness. It must be time for some hard negotiation over the price. This is an opportunity for GW Pharma and Bayer to make a significant reduction which would be in their own long term interest.
Cannabis for Medical Use And How The Royal College Of GPs Is Letting Us All Down.
The last couple of weeks have brought an enormous breakthrough for those who need cannabis as medicine but with the release of the government's interim measures for licensing, the difficulties of how this will work in practice are obvious.
Unless doctors are properly informed and educated about cannabis many patients are going to remain without any help and forced to continue in the illegal market.
The Royal College of GPs was supposed to have issued guidelines to all GPs by the end of 2017 but evidently politics have interfered. It seems that either there has been external pressure from government to hold back or there's been internal wrangling with some senior doctors opposed to any information being released.
What is astonishing is that this directly contradicts a resolution of the RCGP Council last September when it resolved (unanimously according to reports) to publish guidelines on the use of cannabis as medicine. This raises very serious issues about the governance of the Royal College and also an ethical issue in failing to enable doctors to fulfil their professional duty to patients.
It was at the end of 2016 that CLEAR first wrote to all the Royal Colleges suggesting that guidelines on the use of cannabis as medicine should be considered. The letters went out from Professor Mike Barnes, CLEAR's scientific and medical advisor. We referred to evidence that about a million people were already using cannabis for medical reasons and particularly the explosion in the use of CBD products. We acknowledged that clearly doctors couldn't endorse the use of an illegal drug but certainly for CBD and because of the reality of what's actually happening they needed to be properly informed.
Professor Nigel Mathers of the Royal College of GPs took up our proposal enthusiastically. Through 2017, Mike Barnes and Peter Reynolds of CLEAR attended a number of meetings at the Royal College and detailed plans were made. A formal proposal was put to the council, the ultimate governing body of the Royal College at its meeting in September and approved. It was agreed and announced that the guidelines would be on the college's website by the end of the year. It was even reported in The Times.
Mike Barnes produced the first draft which covered the endocannabinoid system and a summary of the clinical evidence including side effects and a risk/benefit analysis. Peter Reynolds contributed a section on methods of ingestion and harm reduction.
Professor Nigel Mathers finalised the guidelines to make them compliant with the Royal College's standards. It was his last project before retiring from his position as Honorary Secretary.
Then everything stopped. Both Mike Barnes and Peter Reynolds followed up regularly but were fobbed off, given a variety of excuses until eventually six months had passed and we came to realise that there was a determination from somewhere to prevent publication despite what the council had agreed.
The extraordinary progress of the past few weeks leaves the Royal College stranded. It has let down doctors and through them their patients. It had every opportunity to be in front of these developments and to enable doctors to offer advice that patients are now clamouring for.
Mike Barnes said:
"It is a great pity that there has been this delay. Given the events of the last couple of weeks it is now really important that the RCGP lead the way and publish guidelines for their members, as the public will be asking more and more questions about the medicinal value of cannabis."
Prejudice against and misinformation about cannabis has been rife for many years. At last that is changing and cannabis for medical use is going to be available legitimately in the UK. We remain ready to assist the Royal College in ensuring GPs get the information they need.
The Views Of Dr Sarah Wollaston MP On Drugs Policy. A Worrying Case Requiring A Good Dose of Evidence.
Dr Sarah Wollaston MP is chair of the cross party Health Select Committee. She was a practising GP but is now the most senior Westminster politician, not in government, who has expertise in health and medicine.
The views she expresses are extremely worrying because they betray a complete failure to take note of the evidence, particularly surprising because of her profession.
I responded by explaining legalising drugs doesn't mean a free for all, it means the opposite. We have a free for all now because control has been abandoned to criminal gangs. Regulation must be in accordance with a drug's potential for harm. It's more urgent to legalise and regulate dangerous drugs. Keeping crack and heroin supply in the hands of criminals maximises harms through unknown strength and contamination as well as violence and street dealing. Clean, safe supplies should be available in conjunction with therapy at reducing doses. It's simply absurd that cannabis is illegal and this idiotic policy supports crime and creates a £6 billion criminal market with massive consequential harms. It is shameful and national disgrace that our government continues with this idiocy.
There is very little health harm from cannabis. Healthcare records prove this. There are more health harms from peanuts. 99% of harms of cannabis are created by goverment policy. Ignorance, prejudice and cowardice are the defining characteristics of UK drugs policy.
Dr Wollaston suggests that drug consumers are responsible for the violence and criminal activity around the drugs trade. I say this is utter nonsense. It is for the government to take responsibility!! That's what you're paid for. Take this market out of criminal hands and PROTECT people. It is disgusting to blame consumers for the harms of the drugs market which are caused by government. How dare you blame consumers for the harms of the criminal drugs market which irresponsible governments have created! UK drugs policy MAXIMISES all health and social harms. We are plagued by ignorant, stubborn, anti-evidence fools in government who are killing our children.
It is shocking that you and colleagues in government can be so trapped in ignorance and denial of the vast amount of evidence from across the world that legal regulation minimises all drug harms. If UK drugs policy was in the dock then it would get a whole life sentence.
This is an appalling abdication of responsibility by a senior politician. Dr Wollaston isn't in government but she echoes the evil attitude of ministers who cause most harms around drugs by their idiotic policies. It is government that must take responsibility not consumers. Do your job!!
I have written to Dr Wollaston asking if she will meet me so that I may show her the evidence she is overlooking.
Royal College Of General Practitioners. Draft Council Paper – Cannabis For Specified Medical Indications.
This is the document presented to the Council of the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) on 22nd September 2017. The proposal was approved.
APPG: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0c_8hkDJu0DRnBfdGRDRXBROUU/view
Barnes: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0c_8hkDJu0DUDZMUzhoY1RqMG8/view
MS Society (2017) Cannabis and MS: The Role of Cannabis in Treating MS Symptoms
Cannabis for Specified Medical Indications
In the past year, there has been significant interest in the issue of legalisation of cannabis for medical purposes. The All Party Parliamentary Group on Drug Policy Reform made a recommendation in October 2016 that cannabis should be legalised for specific medical indications (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0c_8hkDJu0DRnBfdGRDRXBROUU/view). An accompanying report (the Barnes report: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0c_8hkDJu0DUDZMUzhoY1RqMG8/view) summarised the current evidence for medicinal use and outlined the known side effects. This proposal now has all party support with over 100 MPs backing the plan.
Other countries have recently legalised, or are about to legalise, medical cannabis, including over half of the US states, Germany, Canada, Australia and Ireland, amongst several others. It has been estimated that over 1 million people use cannabis for medical reasons in the UK on a regular basis. A recent poll showed 68% of the public supported medical usage and only 12% were actively against (REF). A similar number of GPs also supported the concept in a poll published alongside the APPG report.
Some forms of cannabis are legally available, including Sativex for MS-associated spasticity. An important component of natural cannabis, Cannabidiol (CBD), is also legally available without prescription through health food outlets.
It is likely that GPs will be asked, by those with a variety of chronic conditions, for advice on the use of cannabis and related products. It is proposed that the RCGP works with a number of other organisations (including the MS Society) to produce a GP information booklet which offers balanced and reasonable advice on the appropriate use of cannabis, bearing in mind of course, that natural cannabis and the main psychoactive component, Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), remain generally illegal.
The MS Society has recently reviewed its position on cannabis use as a medicinal treatment for people with MS (MS Society, 2017). The society believes that there is now enough evidence to assert that cannabis for medicinal use, if managed properly, could benefit around 10,000 people who suffer from pain and spasticity as a result of multiple sclerosis.
They want to see all licensed treatments derived from cannabis made available to people who need them. But until that happens they are calling on the UK government to legalise cannabis for medicinal use to treat pain and spasticity in MS, when other treatments have not worked. They believe that people should be able to access objective information about the potential benefits and side effects of using cannabis for medicinal purposes.
Furthermore, they believe it's both unfair and against the public interest to prosecute people with MS for using cannabis to treat pain and spasticity, when other treatments have not worked for them (MS Society, 2017).
The Proposal
It is proposed that the RCGP works with a number of other organisations (e.g. MS Society, Newcastle University) to produce a GP information booklet which offers balanced and reasonable advice on the appropriate use of cannabis, bearing in mind of course, that natural cannabis and the main psychoactive component, THC, remain generally illegal.
The aim of the GP information booklet would be to offer balanced and reasonable advice on the appropriate use of cannabis.
The booklet would be short and concise (about 4 pages of A4). It will briefly cover the history of cannabis and outline the natural endocannabinoid system found in all humans. The different forms of cannabis and means of ingestion/inhalation would be outlined. It will also outline the current legal status as a Schedule 1 drug but also highlight the legally available varieties of cannabis (Sativex, Nabilone and CBD).
The medical evidence for different conditions will be given in a balanced way with a reasonable appraisal of existing evidence for those conditions with a good evidence base and for those conditions currently lacking in evidence.
It is important that the side effects will be carefully outlined. This would include the known short-term effects of the psychoactive component as well as a discussion of the potential and actual longer-term effects. This would clearly include the concern around triggering schizophrenia-like syndromes and the risks associated with cognitive problems, driving, dependency.
It will be important that the evidence is presented in a reasoned and reasonable, balanced way without any bias either for or against the legalisation argument.
August 2017
May Brings A Fresh Start To The Cannabis Campaign.
Would that we were in spring looking forward to a splendid summer. Instead, in mid-July we are heading into autumn towards what looks like a stern, drab and ominous future. Theresa May is prime minister, perhaps the worst nightmare for those who seek cannabis law reform.
You have to admire her first few days though. What you see is what you get. She is smart, calculated and very, very certain about the nature of the government she will lead. I have no doubt she has a softer, caring side and there is testimony to that effect from those who support her. She is a strong woman, she will be sympathetic to people and causes that she chooses but ruthless and absolute against those she opposes. Our problem is that, as confirmed by both the National Audit Office and Public Accounts Committee, evidence has nothing to do with it. Theresa May's drugs policy is based on her personal opinions and even the plight of those in chronic pain and disability is unlikely to change her mind even on the medicinal use of cannabis. I remember Norman Baker told me that she simply does not comprehend that cannabis can be a legitimate medicine. The very idea is anathema to her. It is beyond her comprehension. The daughter of a vicar, who attended a convent then a grammar school, she has a lot about her that suggests piety, reserve, self-discipline and control. Admirable qualities but lacking perhaps in empathy with modern lifestyles and values.
But this is a fresh start. Amber Rudd, the new Home Secretary, is cast from the same mould as Ms May. My MP, Oliver Letwin, himself disposed of in the new cabinet, has already written to Ms Rudd and asked her to see me. As of today, CLEAR represents nearly 700,000 registered supporters, equivalent to the electorate in more than eight parliamentary constituencies, so I think she has a good reason to give me a few minutes. I will continue to press for a meeting until she or one of her junior ministers agrees to see me.
It can only help that I am now a fully paid-up member of the Conservative Party. I made this decision shortly after the EU referendum and I have also joined the Conservative Policy Forum which works to influence Conservative Party policy from the grassroots. I will be advancing the cause of medicinal cannabis and wider drugs policy reform as quickly and effectively as I can through the party's established channels. Whether it is a short or long game, it has to get started now.
I do believe this is the best way forward for the cannabis campaign. I will work from within the party of government to try and influence change. It is more than likely that the Tories will be in power for the next 10 years, if not more. Now is the time to get involved, face our opposition, engage with those who have power. Every other UK political party is in disarray.
When we relaunched the Legalise Cannabis Alliance as CLEAR Cannabis Law Reform in 2011, we brought a totally new, professional approach to the campaign. Others have followed and there is now a significant group that understands how to use professional lobbying techniques. The greatest achievement of this has been to get the Liberal Democrats involved and although there remains great resistance amongst party members in the shires, the leadership is very much onside. Sadly, the party itself is as far away from power as it has ever been and, in my view, has swung widely off course in a futile and misguided effort to reverse the referendum result. Such whimsical strategies have always been the LibDems' problem. Unless a political revolution suddenly makes Corbyn a serious contender then there will be no other party in power but the Tories. This is where we must invest time, effort and all our resources. We must understand how to turn Tory aims, ambitions and viewpoints to our advantage. Which arguments will work and how do we get them across?
Although we now have a more professional campaign and several individuals with real ability, now is not the time to revert to talking amongst ourselves. Conferences, meetings, documentary films and events are all very well but they almost exclusively preach to the choir. Just like the demos and protests that have at last ebbed away, they make those involved feel good and they ramp up morale but they do little to create change. This is no way to make progress. I will ensure that CLEAR is on the front line. It is those who oppose us that we need to be talking to, not those who already agree with us.
At the same time, specifically on medicinal cannabis, our focus must be on the medical profession. We published 'Medicinal Cannabis:The Evidence' just over a year ago and it has added real credibility to the campaign. In a few weeks when the APPG for Drug Policy Reform publishes its report on medicinal cannabis, Professor Mike Barnes will release his own review of current evidence and it will become the definitive work on the subject. CLEAR will be taking this to GPs all over the country, to the Royal Colleges and particularly to those working in pain management. We already know that thousands of doctors endorse their patients' use of cannabis for chronic pain, it is time to bring this out of the closet. Doctors and nurses have literally been terrorised into keeping quiet about cannabis. We have first hand knowledge of Home Office officials warning off doctors who have tried to assist their patients by prescribing Sativex off label or recommending Bedrocan. This must stop. We must equip the medical profession with the evidence it needs to be able to do the best by its patients.
I know many will be downhearted by this new government but change is always a good thing. It offers us the opportunity to renew our campaign. Most important, we must walk towards the enemy, not hide in our bunkers, fearful of their response. All over the world, mainstream opinion is turning in favour of cannabis as medicine and wider drugs policy reform. Now is the time to step forward, to do all we can to educate and inform those who are still in the dark. I have set out above what CLEAR's new strategy will be. Please join us. Become a member. Sign up here. Your first duty? Make an appointment to see your MP. This is the most effective thing you can do. We will publish new guidance in the next few days on how to prepare for and conduct these meetings.

Van Gogh seemed obsessed with the Cypress tree. They appear in many pictures, almost church steeple like, pointing to the sky, encouraging us to look upwards. Where the heavens are a never ending movie of shifting shapes, full of Kaleidescopic possibilities.
My paintings are both Oil Pastel drawings in my small A6, postcard size, stetch book. Copied from Van Gogh's images. They seemed appropriate images at this time of Ascension, when we seem to look intently into the skies (Acts 1:10-11).
I have also been reading a poem in Walter Brueggemann's excellent little book: Prayer for Privileged People
'Candidates for Newness' is a poem about Ascension, the space between Eater and Pentecost anbout looking up to new possibilities but also staying close to the ground, and what we think of as reality. It advocates a hesistant expectancy
I found it very encouraging, when facing change and newness.....
Candidates for Newness
We live the long stretch betweenEaster and Pentecost, scarcely noticing.We hear mention of the odd claim of ascension.We easily recite the creed,"He ascended into heaven."We bow before such quaint language and move on,immune to ascent,indifferent to enthronementunresponsive to new governance.It is reported that behind the ascending son wasthe majestic Father riding the cloudsBut we do not look up much;we stay close to the ground to business andto busynessto management and control.Our world of well-being has a very lowceiling, but we do not mind the closenessor notice the restrictiveness.It will take at least a Pentecost wind tobreak open our vision enough to imagine new governance.We will regularly say the creedand from time to time--in crises thatdrive us to hope and to wish—wait for a new descent of the spirit among us.Until then, we stay jaded,but for all that,no less candidates for newness.

When a router or firewall located on a distant petroleum production facility becomes unresponsive, NOC personnel need to fix the problem immediately in order to avoid downtime, but the remote location of the site often makes a quick response somewhat problematic. Fortunately, WTI's RSM-8R8 Remote Site Managers can drastically simplify the task of dealing with network problems on remote drill rigs, production platforms and support vessels.
