News in Brief
More Schools Offer Free Meals to All Students
The number of schools offering free meals to all students through the U.S. Department of Agriculture's community-eligibility provision jumped 20 percent this year, the second year the option has been available nationwide, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said last week.
More than 17,000 high-poverty schools now offer free, federally subsidized meals to about 8 million students through the provision. He also said that 97 percent of schools that participate in federal school meal programs are in compliance with heightened federal nutrition standards.
Under community eligibility, qualifying schools offer universal free meals without requiring students to qualify through family-income verification. Districts have said that paperwork can be a hurdle that keeps otherwise eligible students from eating free or reduced-price meals.

Statuario Nuvo 5111
Large kitchen windows were installed to let in the warm light of the California sun. All of the materials used in the kitchen are completely devoid of shine, which prevents any potential glare and adds to the relaxed and welcoming tone of the design. The terracotta pendants above the kitchen island bring depth and nuance to the space.
"There's a richness to matte finishes, like honed quartz," says Samuel, who used Statuario Nuvo Honed on the countertops and kitchen island. Her signature palette of soft whites, blonde woods and earthy neutrals is reflected throughout the kitchen.
One thing is certain: Doré and Samuel have masterfully created a calm, clean and beachy kitchen perfect for both entertaining and relaxing with a cup of tea in the mornings.

A Claremont creche has been fined $9000 and its supervisor $3000 after a two-year-old girl wandered out its creche and along a road.
A State Administrative Tribunal order published online reveals that Raff Investment Holdings, which owns the Tiny Beez child care centre on Alfred Road, and centre supervisor Ana-Lara Skinner, were the parties so fined.
According to the tribunal order, a two-year-old girl left Tiny Beez about 10am on July 23 last year.
A passing motorist saw the little girl wandering alongside busy Stubbs Terrace.
The motorist parked her car and walked into Tiny Beez to tell staff that the girl was wandering unsupervised along the road.
Tiny Beez staff retrieved the girl with help from another member of the public.
Tribunal member David MacLean heard that the girl had been placed in a room of older children which required half the staff-to-children ratio than the younger class she would have otherwise been in. This contravened national child care regulations.
Around the time the girl went missing she was outside with a group of 21 children with one educator who could not see any other educators outside.
In mitigation, Tiny Beez and Mrs Skinner successfully argued that the girl's mother believed her child was cognitively, physically, socially and verbally advanced for her age and had asked that the toddler be included in the class that had older children.

Due diligence report is a part of mergers, acquisition and investment deal. In order to make this report, the analyst holistically investigates the target company. As a whole there is one report, however, it has several sub-types. Following is the list of all the sub-types of a due diligence report –
- Financial Due Diligence
- Legal Due Diligence
- Commercial Due Diligence
- HR Due Diligence
- IT Due Diligence
- Intellectual Property Due Diligence
- Operational Due Diligence
- Tax Due Diligence
In a series of article, we will try to cover each type of due diligence in detail, starting today's article with financial due diligence1
Table of Contents
Financial Due Diligence
Financial due diligence basically means deeply analyzing the overall financial health of the target company before making a merger, acquisition or investment decision. Let us first understand the scope of financial due diligence –
The scope of financial due diligence differs from one company to another depending on the size and the industry of the target company. Generally, the scope of financial due diligence would involve –
Historical Quality of Earnings
When we use the term quality of earnings, it means we want to analyze the reported earnings of the target company. The question here is – If the company earned X amount of money in the past, did that money add value to the owner's capital? Some companies show artificially inflated earnings and profits. Sometimes companies provide very large credit periods to increase sales. This does eventually lead to higher sales and higher profits, but no cash is coming in.
Understanding these factors help determine the strength and capability of the target company. Therefore it is very important to understand the quality of earnings of the target company before making the buying decision.
Quality of Net Assets
Assets are the backbone of any company, so while conducting financial due diligence it is very important to analyze the quality of net assets of the target company. In this first, all the assets of the target company are listed – be it owned, leased or rented. Any company has a wide variety of assets, for example – core assets such as land and factory; vehicles such as cars and buses; technological assets such as machinery, computers, and software; also intangible assets such as patents, trademarks, etc. All these assets are valued and the total net worth is calculated. Thereafter the net assets are compared with the net debt to understand the quality of net assets.
Capital Expenditure Requirements
Capital expenditure is the money invested by a company to acquire, maintain and improve fixed assets such as factories, machinery, building, equipment, etc. When we analyze the capital expenditure requirement, we try to understand how much funds in capital expenditure will be required to maintain and grow the target company's earnings. There may be many reasons for which the capital expenditure would be necessary. For example, the current machinery might be near the state of obsoletion and may need replacement, or production facility needs to be expanded for future growth.
When we calculate future capital expenditure, we understand how much the buyer will have to pay over and above the purchase price. It is good to make a capital expenditure schedule to make a smart buying decision.
Financial Debt and Liabilities
Debt and liabilities, two words that scare even the most rational investors. Nobody wants to take on the debt that comes with mergers and acquisitions, and for a very good reason too – the costs attached with debt and liabilities can turn a very healthy cash flow into negative cash flow and make the company bleed.
However, the analysts also understand that debt is part of the business and necessary for expansion. In this area of financial due diligence, the analyst wants to make sure that the target company has a rationale behind the debt it owes. Also, the analyst wants to make sure that the target company is not over-leveraged and it is capable to repay its debt in a timely manner from its own earnings.
Forecasted Financial Results
All the large, well-managed companies forecast their financial results for the next five years. They calculate the projected revenue and net income based on assumptions. These assumptions are drawn from well-researched data as well as the company's own strength and capabilities. The data points include factors such as estimated future growth of the economy and particular market in which the company operates, projected social and demographic shifts, company's production and marketing strength, the capability of future capital expenditure and much more.
An analyst conducting financial due diligence must thoroughly research the assumptions on which the target company has forecasted its financial results in order to understand the future growth prospects of the target company.
Information and Documentary Requirements
When we understand the scope of financial due diligence, we ask another question – "Where will I get the information to conduct the financial due diligence?"
This information required comes from various sources. Following is the list of documents from which an analyst can get the information to conduct financial due diligence –
- Historical financial statements
- Detailed trial balances
- General ledgers
- Detailed management accounts and reports
- Current operating results
- Business plans
- Budgets and forecasted financial information
Even though the information that we get from these sources maybe complete and valid, the actual availability of the sources depends on the size and reporting capabilities of the target company. For example, if the target company is a small family business then it may not have its business plans or future forecasts in place. In this case, financial due diligence becomes tricky and requires deep investigations within and outside the target company.
Importance of Financial Due Diligence
One can put financial due diligence as the number one priority in the due diligence process. There are many reasons due to which this particular due diligence is very important, some of them are –
- Financial due diligence helps to answer the following questions –
- Is the information provided by the target company reliable?
- Can the company sustain its historical earnings in the future? More importantly, can it grow its earnings in the future?
- What level of working capital does the company require to function smoothly? Is it capable to generate this working capital from internal or external sources?
- Are there any major or off-balance sheet liabilities in the company's balance sheet that needs to be considered?
- Does the company have any future commitments or scope of contingencies that need to be considered?
- When done correctly, financial due diligence provides valuable information and insights to come to a fair purchase price for the target company.
- Financial due diligence also identifies the issues that the buyer and target company must address so as to ensure a smooth and transparent merger/ acquisition.

12 Cardinal Rules for Shop Safety
Here are 12 simple rules to help eliminate accidents and injuries in the workplace.
We all know the importance of safety in our shops, so here are 12 simple rules to help eliminate accidents and injuries in the workplace:
1. Never operate any machine or forklift if you are not trained or not familiar with it. Ask your supervisor.
2. Always wear proper PPE to include eye, ear, hand and foot protection.
3. Eliminate entanglement hazards. Always secure or remove loose clothing, tie loose hair and remove jewelry, which can entangle in rotating equipment (especially rings and bracelets) before you operate
machinery. Do not wear fabric or leather gloves around rotating equipment.
4. Always maintain a safe distance from machines that are in use.
5. Never operate machinery without all shields and machine guards in place.
6. Always lock out/tag out powered equipment when cleaning, oiling or repairing. Test to assure machine is fully de-energized.
7. Never use compressed air guns to clean clothing and hair and never aim at another person.
8. Never use your hands or a rag to clear chips; never use rags around rotating equipment.
9. Maintain good housekeeping in your work area to eliminate trip, slip and fall hazards.
10. Be sure to lift properly with your legs, not your back. Ask for assistance and use back support when necessary.
11. Always inspect cables, slings and straps and assure they are secure prior to use.
12. Report all injuries, no matter how minor, to your supervisor.

"American Idol's" return to ABC has been dominating headlines. "Extra's" Renee Bargh was with the show's former executive producer Nigel Lythgoe today as he hosted a Beverly Hills Commerce event just as news broke that Ryan Seacrest is in talks to return as host when the show comes back in 2018.
The executive producer, who is working hard on "So You Think You Can Dance," gave his take on "Idol's" big return, saying, "It's very exciting for all the fans."
Nigel said that so far, he has not been asked to participate in the reboot, adding, "We'll see what happens."
Weighing in on Ryan's possible return to the reality show, Lythgoe said, "As long as Ryan can do it — you don't want to kill the poor guy. He's doing a radio show, he's doing 'Live with Kelly.' This airplane is going to be flying back and forth at God knows what speed…"
He continued, "He makes it look so easy and it isn't. He's got a lot of work to do if he's going to do it."
Nigel also offered his opinion on Kelly Clarkson's name been thrown in the ring to possibly judge. "She's very smart and she's been through it herself," he noted. "I think she would make a great judge."
Renee told Nigel that Demi Lovato just told her she wouldn't mind joining the show. Nigel liked the idea! "I saw Demi on a tribute to the Bee Gees — she was magnificent."

Being able to have a barbecue at any time of year is probably up there in the top seven things about being an expat living in Singapore. Just after having a pool! It's important, therefore, to be able to nip to a high quality butcher in the neighbourhood or get a reliable delivery planned ahead for some really good meat. Whether you've nabbed the condo BBQ pit, are hosting a roast or simply planning your meals for the week ahead, it's really worth spending a bit more on a trustworthy source – generally freshly shipped from overseas.
Sasha's Fine Foods
The one to try: New Zealand grass-fed ribeye
Known for high-quality, ethically produced, hormone-free and additive-free meat, fish, plant based products, ready-made meals and healthy snacks, Sasha's Fine Foods is a go-to online grocer for food-conscious shoppers who want carefully sourced products delivered to their doorstep.
Those looking for the perfect beef to feed their families with, will want to check out the website's New Zealand grass-fed ribeye steak from Green Meadows farm. Located in Coastal Taranaki, the farm is run by the Carey family, who let the animals graze in the fresh air on cool-climate grass and live a happy life out in the open. This, in turn, gives the meat a higher concentration of marbling, thus creating extra flavour and juiciness.
You can read more about the origins of this steak, and more, on Sasha's Fine Foods' website; in fact, there's an entire "Provenance" section dedicated to telling the stories of Sasha's suppliers – who they are, how they farm, what the animals are fed, and so on – to give consumers full transparency and confidence in the food they're buying.
Some of Sasha's other best-selling products include Mount Cook Alpine salmon, fresh local chicken breasts, English Wicks Manor sausages and bacon, wild blue cod from New Zealand and the recently introduced local sustainable fish.
Open Taste
The one to try: 120-day grain-fed beef ribeye
Open Taste is an online platform that gives consumers in Singapore the opportunity to shop an array of perishable products from around the globe at wholesale prices, and get them delivered to their doorsteps within 36 hours of placing the order. This means access to everything from Thai coconuts, Italian pasta and fresh milk from small Aussie farms to all kinds of meat from Australia, the US, Malaysia, Spain and Brazil.
On the must-try list is the 120-day grain-fed beef ribeye from Open Taste's private label of quality steak cuts. For $26.99, shoppers can get two ribeyes (500g total) flown fresh from Australia, chilled and ready to cook – a steal, if you ask us! Of course, if you prefer other cuts of meat, they've got it all, from striploins, filet mignon and chucks to flanks, brisket and burger patties.
Huber's Butchery
More than just a stop for grabbing some slabs of meat, Huber's Butchery (22 Dempsey Road) is, in fact, an all encompassing foodie experience. The selection of mostly growth-hormone-free meats is vast – everything from grass-fed US Angus beef, Australian wagyu and bestselling Stockyard beef from Australia to always-popular handmade sausages, lamb chops, cold cuts and poultry, sourced from trusted farms to guarantee quality and ethical treatment of animals.
This family-run, one-stop shop also carries more than 100 types of cheese from around the world, along with air-flown fruits and vegetables, freshly baked breads, imported sweets, pastas and spices, as well as a selection of wine, craft beer and liquor; there's even a "BBQ corner" with all the essentials, from charcoal and tongs to all kinds of salts and rubs. In addition to answering any questions, discussing recipes and offering cooking tips as they portion meat à la minute, the Huber's butchers offer free marinating services, and the option of having meat dry-aged in the special dry-ageing chiller.
Though you can order groceries and meat online (pick up from the store or opt for home delivery), visiting in person means you can grab a pre- or post-shop bite and beer at Huber's Bistro while the kids have a play at the onsite outdoor playground.

Jim Webster is a fantasy author who, among other things, writes short stories as inspired by old, "rustic" paintings and artworks. He currently has a short story series called Rustic Pursuits with this very concept on his blog, centered around a hapless poet named Tallis from the fantastical city of Port Naain.
Jim has generously agreed to share one with this for the following (terrifying) piece of art:
Rustic Pursuits
Obviously as one's fame grows, it's inevitable that one will find oneself in greater demand. This I had been promised by my elders. Yet I confess that this fame seemed to take a long time to come. Admittedly Port Naain is a large city with any number of poets, some of whom are perhaps my equals. And yet, I always struggled to find patrons. Indeed I found that those patrons I had valued my abilities as a master of ceremonies, able to maintain order in their soirees, keeping the musicians sober, the singers chaste and everybody appearing in approximately the correct order. The fact that I could engage in witty banter, produce amusing verse when needed and could hold a room spellbound with my stories and verses was merely a useful bonus.
Still, I did get offers of work, in Partann of all places. This area lies to the south of the city; the populace is rustic and unsophisticated. Indeed the further south you travel the more unsophisticated do they become, until finally they lapse into little more than barbarism. My offer of work came from the Tweil family. I didn't know them; they almost shared a name with a prosperous Port Naain family, the Tweel. From what I could discover the two families may have been connected a couple of centuries back. Still, I received an invitation, on elegantly headed notepaper, to perform some of my latest works to an audience of family and invited guests. The only disadvantage was that their estate was perhaps forty miles out of the city and this was going to take me at least two days to walk. I had to set off immediately.
So I bade my wife Shena a fond farewell, crossed the Paraeba Estuary on the Roskadil ferry and set off, on foot, into Partann. The first day I made good time. I slept in a stable, paying for my keep with a few romantic verses and some help with the chores. Next morning I set off, confident that I was in good time.
It was about noon when I came upon a group of Urlan camped by the site of the road. I like the Urlan, although I confess I am always courteous in their company. Trained from childhood in arms, they are consummate fighters, chivalrous with a strong sense of honour, and if they do take offence, you can be dead before you even understood what exactly you'd said.
Still these were a merry crew, none of them older than twenty, and some of the younger ones barely fifteen or sixteen. As an aside I would recommend the young Urlan to you. They can be so intensely serious, but their innate courtesy means they tend to be polite to artists. So when I mentioned I was a poet travelling to perform, they were genuinely interested. One maiden called Keikel, perhaps the youngest as she had no more than four shrunken heads hanging from her sword belt, asked where I was performing. I mentioned the Tweil estate.
It was then they informed me that I'd spent that day marching in exactly the opposite direction. Instead of being a mere five or six miles from it, I was nearer twenty. I could have wept.
Then the maiden suggested they lend me a horse. Their leader, a knight by the name of Brodan Vect, agreed with her. He pointed out that they were intending to travel in that direction for the hunting. They could camp near the Tweil estate, and when I left, I could meet up with them and regale them with tales of my successes, before leaving the horse with them and returning home.
To be absolutely honest they didn't actually say, 'regale them with tales of my successes,' but they certainly said they'd be interested to know how I got on. They even suggested that, if it seemed appropriate, I ask the Tweil family whether they would mind the Urlan hunting across the estate. So I thanked them, mounted the horse I had been loaned, and set off at a canter.
Now others might think that this would be a chance to disappear with the horse and sell it in Port Naain. After all I'd make more money on that than I would entertaining the Tweil household. Still anybody who suggests this course doesn't know the Urlan. They live for war and for hunting. Hunting horse thieves is considered a particularly honourable pastime. Indeed, if it's an Urlan's horse the thief has stolen, that Urlan feels pursuing them to the ends of the earth and slaying them is almost obligatory.
I arrived at the Tweil estate perhaps four hours after noon. I had been musing upon the origins of my horse. The trouble is that some of the Partannese aristocratic families are not enamoured of the Urlan. They feel that the Urlan do not treat them with the respect they deserve. Actually I think the real problem is that the Urlan do treat them with the respect they
deserve. Still, having a mare with Urlan markings might not be tactful. So once I was in the grounds I picked my way slowly through the woodland, watered her at a stream and fastened her behind a spinney where she was screened from view, but had some decent grazing to keep her busy. Then I walked back through the grounds to the house.
I was greeted with almost total disinterest from the maid who opened the door to me. She merely directed me down a corridor to the Morning Parlour. Even as I approached the parlour door I could hear somewhat discordant singing and I looked inside to see perhaps a dozen people standing around the room, clutching tankards whilst a young lady, elegantly attired, kept them all talking and simultaneously kept their drinks topped up as well. She saw me enter and beckoned me across to the table on which stood a punch bowl.
Now I have seen many punch bowls in my time. Most of them are glass and are often very fine, with a matching ladle which will hold enough to fill a small wine glass. This allows even a grasping host to pose as wildly extravagant by offering you a second ladle full. On this occasion, whilst I call it a punch bowl, I've seen smaller cauldrons hung over fires cooking stew. The ladle she was using to serve punch with was better suited to serving porridge. She asked me my name, and ran her finger down a list which lay on the table next to the punch. Finally she found me, smiled and offered me a tankard of the punch.
At this point she was called away by one of the other guests and I took the opportunity to glance at the list. Frankly I was a little put out; it was a collection of nobodies. A few of them I'd vaguely heard of. When I looked round I decided I might know some of them slightly, but none of them were persons of solid literary merit. In fact, if she had set out to create a list of those Port Naain would never miss, then with the obvious exception of myself, she had done a excellent job.
I sipped my punch. I'm glad I did; if I had tried to drink off a mouthful or two, then I'd have had a coughing fit. The damned stuff was almost pure alcohol.
I looked inside the bowl. There was a little fruit floating in the liquid, probably enough to flavour it, but not enough to threaten it with dilution. To be fair, it was pleasant enough, but not something to drink on an empty stomach. I moved away from the bowl and made an attempt to join in the nearest conversation. One has to be collegiate.
I'm afraid it wasn't really worth my while. The others had obviously been hard at the punch for some time and their conversation had frankly suffered.
When the young woman came past to top up our tankards, I asked when we were to dine. Frankly, I was hungry. She glanced towards the clock and said she thought it could be three or four hours.
As she moved to the next group I came to a decision: I had to get something to eat, if only as a defense against the punch. I had noticed that there was a door behind the punch bowl table, and detected it led to the kitchens. So when I could see the lady was caught up in some discussion with another group, I quietly made my way to the table, surreptitiously emptied my tankard back into the bowl, and slipped through the door.
I found myself in a short corridor leading to a large kitchen. Much to my surprise it was empty, and there was no sign of any cooking being done. On occasions like this, the kitchen should be the very centre of activity. Yet this was empty, there was no fire in the grate--indeed, the range was cold.
I looked round. Stacked tidily next to the door there were a dozen empty bottles. I picked one up and read the label. It was 'Urlan plum brandy,' produced by Grine Halstrop, Brewer and Dyer. Whilst Halstrop may not produce the worst beers in Port Naain, it is rightly a contender for that particular crown. It also produces a range of spirits which are just that, pure spirit. The only thing the Urlan would have done with this stuff was to use it to clean rust off armour.
I looked round the rest of the kitchen, hoping to find something to eat. Eventually I'd assembled a small loaf, some sausage, and four bottles of excellent wine. These latter were so out of place I did wonder how they had come here. Now I felt that morally I owed one bottle to the maiden who'd lent me the horse. The other three could be sold to help me cover my out of pocket expenses; given there was no meal and everybody was drunk, I couldn't envisage getting paid. So I decided to take the bottles out to my horse, stow them in the pack behind the saddle, eat the bread and sausage, and then return to the house. There, with the others, I could await developments.
The kitchen door opened onto a small kitchen garden. On the other side of that was a low wall and on the other side of that I could see the woods where my horse was. I crossed the garden. To my left, towards the back of the house, there seemed to be a ruined building or two, and there was also a fire burning. I couldn't see it, but I could smell the smoke.
I left the kitchen garden by the gate which led to the woods, and once in the woods I made my way closer to the ruins. There I could see a considerable number of people, dancing and cavorting around a fire pit covered with a metal grill.
This appeared to be the real party. Even as I watched, the dancing came to a halt, and the participants, in various states of undress, started instead to sing. Or perhaps they started to chant, because there was more rhythm than melody. As I watched and listened, the hairs on my neck started to rise. The whole thing seemed fey and unseemly.
Then, out of the shadows of the ruin came the woman who had been serving punch. I didn't initially recognize her because now she was dressed only in her shift. She was leading a man who was stark naked and very drunk. She led him to the edge of the fire pit and he stood there, swaying unsteadily, looking round in a confused manner.
Suddenly she stepped behind him, grabbed his hair, pulled his head back and with one swift movement, slashed his throat with a knife. The man's blood spurted out, and she pushed his body forward so it collapsed onto the grid.
The chanting grew louder and more fervent, and the woman gestured towards the ruins. I saw two women bring out another victim, naked and almost incapacitated by drink.
The crowd emitted a mighty ululation and one loathsome entity stepped forward out of the crowd, seized the victim, and carried him to the fire pit. There it opened its overly wide mouth, bit off the victim's head and cast the corpse onto the grid.
Making sure I couldn't be seen, I made my way back through the woods to where my horse was waiting. Behind me the tone of the chanting grew ever more malevolent. Around me the woods seemed to grow darker, and I felt around me a growing sense of evil. I began to sense presences, to feel them rather than see them. I saw strange misshapen creatures, tenebrous in the shadows. They seemed almost but not quite men and women, moving through the trees near me.
The chanting, and the blood poured onto the fire, were drawing them out of the woods and into the light. By the time I got to my horse the poor creature was wild eyed. Something far larger than a man was crashing through to underbrush towards me. I could hear it, but fortunately it was still out of sight. Hastily I mounted the horse, my plans for a meal forgotten. I left the bottles in my coat pockets, reached forward whilst still in the saddle to untie my mount, and then guided it back to towards the house.
Unfortunately, as I came up to the ruins, it was obvious that things were building to a climax. Mixed now with the dancers were other stranger and more repugnant entities. They capered rather than walked, they yammered when they should have been silent.
Indeed, one such burst out of the bushes behind me and lunged for me. The horse skittered sideways away from the threat, and then we were seen from the ruined window. The woman in her shift saw me and threw herself out of the window at me, whilst behind her, something darker and more terrible howled and charged towards me.
I was saved by my horse. Whereas I was almost petrified with fear, sheer terror awakened in my gallant mount's breast the urge to flee.
Clinging desperately to her neck I gave up any attempt to control her. I occasionally risked a glance backwards to discover that the pursuit was close behind. Ahead I could see the gateway onto the road. The gate still stood open.
We passed through at speed and without any prompting on my part the horse turned right, back the way we had come.
Something grabbed my leg. Instinctively I groped for a weapon and pulled a bottle out of one of the deep poacher's pockets in my coat. I turned and saw the woman in the shift was alongside me, running as fast as the horse. I gave no thought to how she might be achieving this but brought the bottle down on her head. She let go of my leg as she avoided the blow and I hastily abandoned the bottle, clinging once more to my gallant mare's neck.
Suddenly as we rounded a corner I saw a small force of horsemen across the road. My mare burst through a gap between two of them and stopped dead, quivering and shaking. I fell off her and groggily got to my feet.
The Urlan were here but were dressed for war, not hunting. The late evening sun glinted on mail. Some wore steel helms; others had helmets with bronze face masks. Some, probably the maidens, had long hair hanging down from under the helmets. All wore totems, charms and the shrunken heads of their defeated enemies.
One, in the second rank looked down towards me. "Stick close if you can." I recognized the voice of Keikel, the maiden who had loaned me the horse in the first place.
Slowly, I mounted the horse again and turned it to follow the others. As I caught up with her she smiled encouragingly at me and handed me a long dagger. I held it clumsily, but tightly.
Now we were riding with lances raised. My pursuers came round the corner in a mob and stopped abruptly as they saw the force awaiting them.
Keikel raised a horn to her lips and blew it. I heard answering calls in the distance, all from well ahead. As the notes of the horn died away a hideous demonic creature stepped forward from the mob. It raised above its head a sword which shone with an otherworldly light.
Brodan Vect shouted, "Now!" and the line of horsemen, lances lowered, crashed forwards.
I cannot claim to have witnessed everything. My horse just kept up with the others, and I did my best to say aboard. When we were moving more slowly I did attempt to keep hold of the reins. The leading demon moved with remarkable rapidity; it sliced through the lance coming towards it, then stepped aside to allow the horseman past. But this merely put it in the path
of another horse which struck it so forcefully is was knocked sprawling.
It leapt to its feet, still holding the sword, but then Brodan Vect started raining blows down on it and it was hard pressed to do more than parry. The rest of the horsemen had swept through the mob, riding many down and were swinging round to ride back.
I had stayed back to avoid the demon. It was as I tried to get my horse to edge round the fight between the two champions that I saw the woman in the shift stand up from amongst the bodies. She had obviously thrown herself to the ground when the horsemen charged, and now she had a dagger drawn and was coming up behind the Urlan. Brodan's attention was entirely given over to his demonic opponent, who had stopped giving ground and was starting to put in attacks of his own.
I urged my mare towards the woman and swung. When she saw me coming she ducked down to avoid my blow. I lunged at her with the dagger, lost my balance, and fell off my horse on top of her.
As she went to strike me, I grabbed her hand with the knife, and we wrestled in the dirt. She attempted to savage me with her teeth and twice I head-butted her in the face. Finally she manage to wriggle out from under me, turned to strike, and as she did she stiffened and collapsed forward. An arrow had taken her between the shoulder blades.
I glanced round. The rest of the Urlan had returned, two more had joined in the fight against the demon. The creature backed away from them, but only until it had its back to the trunk of a great tree. There it stood at bay. The Urlan landed blows on it, but the creature's skin was tough. Not only that but it was covered in boils and pustules, and as the blades stuck, the pus which wept out would corrode steel and burn flesh.
The fight continued. It took three warriors to keep the beast in check. The Urlan made no sound, but the demon roared and cursed.
Behind me I heard a voice: "Tallis, step back please."
It was the maiden Keikel, on horseback, with a great Urlan bow in her hands. Next to her was another Urlan who had discarded her lance but was now carrying what looked to be a great sharpened tree branch. As the creature roared, the Urlan bow sang, and an arrow hit the beast in the mouth, pinning the head to the tree. As her arrow struck, Keikel shouted "Now!" and the three men on foot threw themselves out of the way as the other rider charged through with the sharpened branch held in both her hands.
With the weight of horse and rider behind it, the lance smashed into the creature. Even as it fell the other Urlan returned to the attack, hacking at the neck with their swords and cut the creature's head off. As they did so, the body faded, leaving nothing but a dark patch on the ground where the grass was dying.
Brodan Vect stepped away from where the corpse should have been, and saw me watching. He grinned at me. "Well, poet, you've witnessed an Urlan exorcism."
I bowed slightly. "Then sir, I thank Aea that I am a poet, not a theologian."
He laughed. There was genuine humour and good-fellowship in the sound. It heartened me and I think it boosted the others. He gestured and somebody fetched me my mare. As I approached her, I felt she looked at me with an air of reproach. To be fair, she was probably used to more martial riders. I mounted again, as did the rest of the Urlan. Keikel gestured for me to ride next to her.
"What now?"
She gestured ahead. "The other parties are in position, we heard their horns. They will be sweeping through the estate; we'll take out anything they drive to us."
It was dawning on me that this was long planned. "So, why are you all here?"
"Last autumn my brother was here on a hunting trip. Some of the peasants approached him with tales about what was happening on the Tweil estate. So he promised to help. We drifted here in small parties in the spring and did our reconnaissance. Then we gathered up the peasants, split them into three parties, each led by a couple of our sergeants, and they would be our beaters."
She smiled. "You were lucky. If you'd come through any other day, you'd have missed all this."
We rode forward, but we had no more fighting. By the time we arrived at the house, it was being thoroughly pillaged by the peasantry. I saw women staggering out with piles of bed linen and furniture. At the fire pit, the sergeants had a good fire going and were burning the bodies of the slain. We watched for a while as various creatures, some more or less manlike, were thrown into the flames and more timber was thrown on top.
Finally word was given to set fire to the house as well. I shared my bread and sausage with Keikel and passed around the wine. We watched as the house burned. It was dawn before the flames died down.
A man, whom I assumed to be some sort of village elder, finally came up to the Urlan. He took his hat off and bowed stiffly. "Our thanks for what you've done."
The Brodan Vect bowed back. "We do what we can."
The village elder gestured to his people. Four of whom then carried forward two bed sheets. They laid them down on the ground and opened them. Each was filled with the more valuable loot from the house. The elder said, "Take a sheet, the choice is yours."
Brodan gestured to the nearest. "That one will do."
The elder nodded and gestured for his people to take the other one away. He turned back to Brodan. "It's an accursed spot. This house always brings trouble."
Brodan nodded. "Yes, it's the second time our kindred have been here." He pointed to the older ruins around the fire pit. "My mother's grandfather burned that."
The elder didn't look particularly surprised. "I trust we will not bother your family again in the future."
Brodan watched as two of his sergeants strapped up the sheet full of loot and fastened it to the back of the horse I'd been loaned. He turned back to the elder. "If you want my advice, I'd take the whole lot down, stone by stone, until nothing is left. Get rid of everything and just plough the site."
The elder half smiled. "And so your mother's grandfather advised us. This time we will heed the advice."
And me?
The Urlan decided they ought to camp to rest their horses and invited me to join them, which I felt was decent of them. I remember lying down and then I knew no more. When I finally awoke, they'd broken camp and departed, all save for Keikel who they'd left behind to keep an eye on me.
When I awoke she passed me a parcel, and with that she rode off to catch up with the others. I opened the parcel. There was bread, cheese, a good wedge of meat pie and a smaller package. When I opened that I found a necklace, silver set with pearls.
I walked back to Port Naain and gave Shena the necklace. She wears it occasionally. But not often, because it's worth more than the barge we live on.
But yes, I like the Urlan; they're honourable and are, after a fashion, polite to artists.

A darker tale than usual but full of excitement. A close call for Tallis.

Being a young person in a large office can sometimes feel daunting. As such, we tend to victimise ourselves and sometimes centre the politics and the way we're treated around our age. This is on us more than anything. However, the paranoia of feeling like the boss hates you in consistent in every employee of every company.
We all want to be liked and it's easy to dismiss someone who is indifferent as a 'hater'. This is the behaviour of a very petty person. If someone genuinely doesn't like you, you probably want to amend that and show them that you're actually not all bad – especially if it's the boss.
Here are seven signs that your boss might hate you (emphasis on might)
1. You're not involved in key decisions
You might find that there are certain emails with your boss that you're not Ccd in. This is a classic pointer that they either don't respect your opinion or you should swing by their office and subtlety input your email into their address book.
2. Other people notice that you're being micromanaged
If it feels like you're always being picked on, that's not enough to say that your boss hates you for sure. However, if someone else approaches you to say that they think you're being micromanaged or pushed out, then you have a problem on your hands.
3. Body language
Watch for crossed-arms, eye rolls, concave postures and tight grips on sharp objects. Body language is a subconscious broadcast of how you truly feel about someone!
4. Closed doors
If it's just you and them, the 'open door policy' is quickly dissolved. Notice how they welcome them you into the room to. Do they stand? Make eye contact? These things matter!
5. They've never asked anything about you
How much can you say your boss actually knows about you without you having told them? If they've never asked anything about you.
6. No feedback
Latest Stories
They don't give you any feedback because they don't really care how you improve as an employee. Okay, that's harsh. But if you don't feel like you're getting enough feedback, they might be playing favourites.
7. You're told
Highly unprofessional but if they feel compelled to tell you that they straight up don't like you, it might 100% be your fault.
Sorry, you might be intolerable.

The Art and Poetry of ToastBy Jim Simpson
January 22, 2007
I've been a casual toast consumer since I was a kid. Wonder Bread and Sunbeam were magical words in that long-ago suburban Florida kitchen with the orange linoleum.
Not that I worship toast or anything, but after all these years of toast consumption I realize how oblivious I've been (albeit blissfully) to its rich history and the hard-working professional scholars out there unearthing the truth about the toaster, without which bread would just be bread.
There seems to be some debate within the Historical Toaster Community as to which was the first commercial toaster: the Hotpoint El Tosto (no joke) or the General Electric D-12. (Wasn't that Dylan's first guitar? Or was it a D-21… .)
New information among toaster enthusiasts has been uncovered regarding an early 1908 model "flatbed" toaster pre-dating the more well-known "upright" El Tosto. Egads! Although the GE D-12 is considered the first successful commercial toaster, a 1917 Hotpoint advertisement claimed:
"The First Electrical Bread Toaster a Hotpoint. Perhaps you didn't know that the very first toaster made was a Hotpoint. That was 12 years ago [1905]."
But wait! A recently discovered product catalog from 1904 briefly mentions a toaster produced by the SIMPLEX Electric Heating Co. One can only imagine the crude device.
The Hotpoint people seem to have made the greatest strides in toaster-based kitchen devices, since they eventually made more than a dozen of the "El" appliances including (in addition to the El Tosto) the El Perco coffee percolator, the El Comfo aluminum hot-pad, the El Bako table-top oven, the El Eggo egg cooking machine, y mucho mas.
A possible reason for the "El" moniker? Hotpoint's headquarters at the time were in California and company executives were said to have made frequent "business trips" to Tijuana; legend has it that donkey shows were also involved.
When I was in my early 20s I wrote a poem about toast, called "The Toast Family." Strangely enough, this poem predated a move to my first apartment, where I subsisted for nearly a week on little more than toast and powdered instant iced tea.
That incident aside, I always thought the poem was funny and original, but I could never seem to place it anywhere. A few years later I set it to music in my friend Harv Myers' studio in the late 80s (we caught the proverbial buzz, so the demo just kinda rambled on, but it was fun).
Anyway, I've been carrying this poem around with me in my head for lo these many years, and now it's somehow made it into my novel-in-progress. And it seems to work perfectly within the story.
I don't eat much toast these days, but when I do I'm drawn toward lightly browned seeded rye that must be buttered and eaten immediately, but not so fast as to hamper enjoyment.
Multi-grain is also fine, but I have to be in the mood for it, and as long as it features a seed assortment stuck pell-mell on the crust.
Really, I'm not obsessed with toast. Honest. But if you are, you can check out fun facts and photos, or purchase your very own 2007 vintage toaster calendar ("Check out the coils on Miss May!") by visiting the Toaster Museum Foundation.
A day after I'd begun my toast to toast post, my youngest brought this home from school.
I nearly wept. Yes, I whispered into her hair as I hugged her, I'm not alone. The world loves toast – even the little children!
Yes, as the rhyme goes, warm and dry … toast is sure to satisfy.
Indeed, T is for toast. And is it a coincidence that the word 'art' ends with a T? I think not. After reading this glad tiding, I see the world as somehow less chaotic, appearing now to have an intrinsic, divine order to it.
Today (another T word!) is a good day.

2015 Nissan Murano – First Look and Review
There are few vehicles on the road that stand out from the crowd as much as the third generation Nissan Murano. Based on the Renaissance concept Nissan unveiled at the 2013 Detroit show, the 2015 Murano hews close enough to the look of the concept car that Nissan executives speak of it as a "concept car on wheels."
The original Murano so influenced Ken Lee, the automaker's senior creative manager, that he left a competing automaker to join Nissan. Lee says he drew inspiration from the dawn of the jet age, when jet travel was new and passengers were pampered with luxurious surroundings.
With a completely new exterior for 2015, the wheelbase remains unchanged at 111.2" but overall length has increased by 2.9" to 192.8". The Murano is lower and wider than its predecessor and has increased cargo room, 39.6 cubic feet of space, a 7.8 cubic feet increase.
While the exterior is quite futuristic looking (think "BMW i3"), the view from the driver's seat is more prosaic. With soft-touch surfaces and high-quality materials in abundance, the cabin in the Platinum model looks more as if it belongs in an Infiniti, the automaker's luxury brand, and that it can hold its own against the Lexuses and Cadillacs of the world.
Indeed, the Murano comes equipped with most if not all of the advanced technology that was formerly only available over at Infiniti, as well as the more expressive styling one would expect of the latter.
The Murano seats five comfortably, and the base S model starts at $29,560. The top-of-the-line Platinum trim Murano has a base price of $39,000. All-wheel drive is a $1,600 option at any trim level.

You will find below a delicious italian dessert twisted in a fashion French verrine!
I have always been afraid of gelatine. I am not really patient and like instantaneous results when possible. Therefore, prior this challenge, I was exclusively using agar-agar so quick result I could get. But I also like trying and learning new things. When I speak about trying, it is more doing and doing and doing until I succeed. I hate being unable to finish something or position of failure.
So… Agar-Agar it was… until I had the opportunity to assist to a cooking class in Montpellier with a talented chef from the Pourcel brothers' restaurant. In all the recipes, people speak about soaking gelatine into cold water but they should be more speaking about frozen water for the newbies, don't you think? That was his great advise, adding some ice cubes in cold water and not wisking too much. I do not know about you but it definitely was a revelation for me.
I am not using gelatine in all my recipes now as you can guess. But I am glad to be able to alternate between agar-agar and gelatine. These two products are creating a texture completely different and that's nice to be able to play with.
If you like this recipe, you might be interested in having a look to the dessert index page or verrine recipe index.
- 15 cl. of milk (0.6 cup or 5 oz.)
- 15 cl. of cream (0.6 cup or 5 oz.)
- 100 gr. of sugar (1/2 cup or 3.57 oz.)
- 2 sheets of gelatine
- 1/2 of vanilla pod
- 200 gr. of frozen raspberries (7.14 oz.)
- Soak gelatine in a bowl containing cold water and some ice cubes. Heat milk, cream, 50 gr. (1/4 cup) of sugar and vanilla pod in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat before a boil is reached. Add gelatine. Pour four verrines and refrigerate at least two hours.
- In the meantime, heat up raspberries with the rest of sugar. Sieve and refrigerate.
- Pour some raspberry coulis on top of each verrine before serving.

International Coach Federation Now Accepting Prism Award Nominations
ICF invites organizations with strong coaching cultures to share their stories and be recognized.
Mar 20, 2019, 08:38 ET

- A new round of tests from the nonprofit Environmental Working Group found the presence of a weed-killer in breakfast foods like Cheerios and Quaker Oats products.
- The chemical in question, known as glyphosate, has been tentatively linked to cancer, though many scientists argue that the evidence isn't conclusive.
- The report said that all but two of the 28 samples showed harmful levels of glyphosate, but the safety threshold the group uses is far more stringent than the Environmental Protection Agency's standard.
- As the scientific community awaits further research, consumers are left to decide whether the products pose a risk.
Ten weeks after the nonprofit Environmental Working Group published a report that found the presence of a weed-killer in breakfast foods, a new round of tests is likely to generate additional concerns.
In August, the EWG said it discovered traces of glyphosate, the most widely used agricultural pesticide in the world, in dozens of Quaker, Kellogg's, and General Mills products, including cereals like Cheerios and Lucky Charms.
The timing of the report aligned closely with a $289 million lawsuit against Monsanto (recently acquired by Bayer), which uses glyphosate as the active ingredient in its popular herbicide Roundup. On Monday, a judge denied the company's motion for a new trial after ruling that Monsanto knew its product was "dangerous" and could lead to cancer.
The EWG said in its August report that it tested the levels of glyphosate in 45 samples of conventionally grown oats and determined that 31 fell below its safety criteria. Its latest study tested another 28 samples, focusing exclusively on Cheerios and Quaker Oats products, and found that all but two showed harmful levels of glyphosate, according to its measures.
But we don't yet know whether glyphosate is actually linked to cancer. As it stands, most published research has found that glyphosate isn't a health threat at the low levels that consumers are exposed to.
Does glyphosate cause cancer?
Certain scientific groups have insisted there is a link between glyphosate and cancer, but others aren't convinced.
Organizations such as the Environmental Protection Agency, the European Commission, Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency, and the World Health Organization's International Program on Chemical Safety have determined that glyphosate does not present a public health concern.
Much of the argument surrounding glyphosate boils down to a report published by the WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer that said the herbicide was "probably carcinogenic in humans." But an extensive review of the material by Reuters found that the IARC had edited parts of the document that didn't align with its conclusion.
While some scientists have backed away from the IARC's findings, others are doubling down.
Alex Lu, an associate professor of environmental exposure biology at Harvard, described the IARC as a "world-renowned and reputable" institution whose findings have benefitted global cancer researchers. Having conducted his own research of pesticides in children's diets, Lu said he believed the EWG's safety measures were relatively conservative and that its threshold "is too high."
"This is especially true for parents buying breakfast cereals for their infants and children," said Lu, who is not affiliated with the EWG, though it has covered his findings in the past.
The EWG considers any cereal with a glyphosate level of more than 160 parts per billion to be unsafe. The legal limit for oats — as outlined by the Environmental Protection Agency — is 30 parts per million, or 30,000 parts per billion, for adults, making the EWG's threshold nearly 188 times as stringent as the EPA's regulations (though it's common to enforce stricter limits for children).
"Since children have an increased susceptibility to cancer-causing substances, it's standard scientific practice to include a tenfold margin of safety," said Tasha Stoiber, a senior scientist at the EWG.
Are Cheerios safe to eat?
In the wake of the EWG's findings in August, both General Mills and Quaker insisted their products are safe. The companies released statements to Fast Company citing their compliance with Environmental Protection Agency standards.
"Our products are safe and without question they meet regulatory safety levels," General Mills said.
"Once the oats are transported to us, we put them through our rigorous process that thoroughly cleanses them," Quaker said in a statement, adding, "Any levels of glyphosate that may remain are significantly below any regulatory limits."
But it still warrants the question: Are the EPA's standards up to par?
A 2017 study published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Public Health argued that it could be time to reassess our criteria. It found enough evidence to suggest that the existing EPA safety standards for glyphosate is "outdated and may fail to protect public health or the environment."
The EWG said in its report this week that "the EPA's standards for pesticides and other chemicals are also heavily influenced by lobbying from industry."
Despite these claims, there's still not enough data to conclusively determine a risk. For this reason, Lu said, people might want to limit their exposure to glyphosate as a precautionary measure.
Those worried about the safety of their breakfast foods should consider what the EWG has to say about individual foods.
Of the 28 new samples, the group found that Quaker Oatmeal Squares cereal showed the highest levels of glyphosate, nearly 18 times as high as its safety threshold.
Other foods that stood out as particularly hazardous by the report's standards included Quaker Overnight Oats and Cheerios' Oat Crunch Cinnamon flavor. But even these foods wouldn't be considered unsafe by the EPA.
As with any scientific study, it's possible that new research could shed light on the EWG's warnings. Even studies that once seemed definitive have been called into question — the US Department of Health and Human Services recently determined that after decades of being labeled a carcinogen, a zero-calorie sweetener called saccharin is not thought to cause cancer.
It's also possible that scientists could uncover new safety concerns for crops like wheat, barley, beans, and chickpeas, which are exposed to glyphosate before harvest.
