Lime and Cilantro Cauliflower Rice
I like being honest on this blog. There's probably some sort of level of accountability that comes with being completely upfront about what to make and how to make it. I also wouldn't want make you think I am some sort of kitchen wizard with a particularly trained Gordon Ramsey type palette (see, I can't even think of a cool nouveau chef like David Chang to use metaphorically!). So this is me being totally honest. I have a really deep love and loath relationship with cauliflower rice, particularly in the beginning stages of making it. The grinding and the chopping and the little bits the fly everywhere. It's a big mess. Every. Single. Time. But you know what? The end result is to die for. Every. Single. Time. So if you're feeling like you can't make this cauliflower rice without wanting to pull your hair out, or if you're just not sure about how to navigate in the kitchen, don't worry! I am there with you. I, too, wish cauliflower wasn't so messy and doing dishes didn't suck so much. But what if these things were easier? Would we appreciate them just the same? I'm full of thought food today. (I got this delish recipe here, because yes, we are all a little Paleo Newbie.)
- 1 medium-large cauliflower head
- 1/4 cup beef stock (or chicken or veggie stock)
- 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
- about 1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves (cut as small as you wish, add as much as you wish)
- 1/2 lime juice (I'm not the most excited about lime juice, so I only used a 1/2 lime. You can go for it and add more)
- Chop the cauliflower into medium sized pieces. The smaller the pieces, the easier it will be to grind.
- Place chopped cauliflower into grinder and pulse until it gets a "rice" consistency. Set aside.
- Pour 1/4 cup beef stock into pan and heat up to medium head.
- Pour cauliflower rice over beef stock and let it cook for about 10-12 minutes. Stir as much as you can to coat "rice" with the stock and so it doesn't burn.
- Add garlic powder about 1/2 way through to cook with the "rice".
- Once the "rice" is browned, turn off the burner and add the chopped cilantro and lime juice.
- Stir until all is mixed together.
- Eat and enjoy!
The best part about this dish is that you can eat it alone, as a side, or as the first layer of a taco salad!

I began my undergraduate degree in September of 1992 in the Physics Department
at Brock University. In addition to the course work during the fall and winter terms,
I was fortunate to spend several summers as a research assistant for
Dr. Bozidar Mitrovic. We looked at various theoretical problems of high temperature
superconductivity, and during this time I gained practical experience programming
in FORTRAN and also learned many other computer software packages.
In the fall of 1996 I completed my honours degree and was undecided about whether
I would pursue employment or continue in academics at the Masters level. Ultimately,
I made the decision to continue on to a Masters program. I had enjoyed my
undergraduate research experiences at Brock and thought that a MSc would
give me more flexibility when pursuing employment in the future. I
received a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC)
graduate scholarship, which is awarded to selected Canadian students to pursue graduate
studies at any universityin Canada (or abroad in some instances). While I both applied
to and visited several other universities, I chose to stay at Brock for my Masters.
I enjoyed the small classes and friendly atmosphere in the department, and I wanted
to continue along the same line of research as my undergraduate thesis. For my
MSc thesis, I examined the magnetic field penetration depth in high
temperature superconductors using a proposed model of high-Tc superconductivity
called the Interlayer Pair Tunneling Model. I completed my Masters degree in
September of 1999.
After graduation, I decided to temporarily pursue one of my other interests, namely
music. I was involved with both performing and teaching music, which was
a big change in pace from my seven years in the physics department! During this
time, however, I began to investigate my options for employment in industry.
I was pleased to discover that the prospects were good, and that physicists
are in high demand, especially given the recent surge in telecommunications
and computer technology. While I was initially worried that I did not have the
practical hands-on experience necessary to qualify for many positions, I quickly
learned that in many cases, employers hire candidates based on one's potential
to learn. Both the problem solving skills, independent thinking skills, ability
to carry out research at a high calibre, and teamwork that I learned at Brock
proved to be essential in obtaining a job.
I was recently offered a position as a Product Engineer at JDS Uniphase
Corporation. JDS Uniphase designs, develops, manufactures, and distributes
fiber optic components for the rapidly growing fiber optic communications
industry. I will be working in the manufacturing division, and more specifically, the
wavelength division multiplexer group. At this stage, I can't say too much about
the details of the job since I haven't started it yet!
I'm very much looking forward to working in this exciting and challenging
environment. I feel that my education and experiences at Brock were crucial
in obtaining my current position, and that they will also be crucial to my success
on the job. In particular, I am grateful to Dr. Mitrovic for all of his insights and
guidance throughout the years. He took a personal interest in my
achievements, both in physics and in life in general. My time at Brock will
be remembered fondly, and I hope to keep in touch in the years to come.

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has released an update to its ongoing investigation into problems with heater-cooler machines, saying that it is working with specialists to minimize the risk of severe infections associated with the devices.
Free Confidential Lawsuit Evaluation: If you or a loved one developed an infection after surgery with a heater-cooler machine, you should contact our law firm immediately. You may be entitled to compensation by filing a suit and our lawyers can help.
What's the Problem?
June 6, 2017 – The FDA update urged hospitals and medical centers to be careful when cleaning and disinfecting heater-cooler devices, and to make sure they are using the most up-to-date version of the manufacturer's instructions for doing so.
In October 2016, the CDC issued an advisory regarding Stockert 3T heater-cooler units manufactured by LivaNova PLC (formerly Sorin Group Deutschland GmbH), saying the devices "were likely contaminated with rare bacteria Mycobacterium chimaera during manufacturing."
The agency reported that in 2015 Swiss investigators found an outbreak of M. chimaera, an aggressive strain of NTM, in at least 6 patients who had undergone open-heart surgery at the same hospital. That summer, a hospital in Pennsylvania also reported an outbreak of the same bacteria.
The Food & Drug Administration is continuing to investigate heater-cooler infections and is coordinating with healthcare facilities to identify methods of reducing risks of the devices. The agency is also working with infectious disease specialists to find ways to minimize patient exposure to NTM bacteria.
Do I Have a Heater-Cooler Class Action Lawsuit?
The Class Action Litigation Group at our law firm is an experienced team of trial lawyers that focus on the representation of plaintiffs in heater-cooler lawsuits. We are handling individual litigation nationwide and currently accepting new infection cases in all 50 states.
Free Case Evaluation: Again, if you were injured by a heater-cooler device, you should contact our law firm immediately. You may be entitled to a settlement by filing a suit and we can help.

PIAA boys basketball finalists honored in Greencastle
The Greencastle-Antrim High School gym got very loud Friday night, especially in the fourth quarter of Central Dauphin's 54-53 win over the Blue Devils.
That raucous noise must felt like old times to a group of 14 players and coaches who returned to the floor at halftime to be recognized by the fans. Ten years ago, that group took themselves and the Greencastle community for a wild thrill ride, all the way to the PIAA Class AAA championship game.
Friday, it was time to revive those memories, even the painful ones of thinking how close the Blue Devils came to a state title. Drew Astorino buried a long contested jumper from the top of the key to give General McLane a 57-55 win at Bryce Jordan Center, crushing G-A's hopes.
"Most of us still haven't watched a tape of that game," said Jordan Gembe, the point guard of that team. "Maybe someday we will."
But the good memories far outnumber the bad.
Several of the players were asked for their best memory of that fantastic season.
Ty Thrush: "After we lost that game, what I remember was when we got back home, all the cars were lining the road. Even in Mercersburg, there were people waiting for us, and it was late at night. All those fans waiting for us ... that was my best moment."
Jaren Gembe: "I still think about the West York game (a 60-58 win in the PIAA quarterfinals at Gettysburg H.S.), and knocking off the No. 1 team in the state. When they missed the last shot (at the buzzer), I think before the ball even hit the floor we were being mobbed by our fans. That was great having them all out on the court afterward."
Treavor Gelsinger: "Definitely going into Philly and winning (68-59 over Franklin Learning Center in the first round of states). We were big underdogs and everything was against us. Then, of course, the state final game ... what an awesome experience."
Jordan Gembe: "The game in Philly was cool, the whole experience (Gembe scored a season-high 26 points). The bus ride, going into the city, having to go through a metal detector (to get into the gym) was crazy. We all thought we could win any game, but I think early in that game we weren't sure. But I remember later, when we had the lead, I looked at Treavor and said, 'We are NOT losing this game.'"
Demeatric Scott: "For me it was the whole experience, and being with the whole team. We had a lot of fun on the court and a lot off the court, too. And it was nice because the whole community became a part of it."
Scott hasn't watched a tape of the final game, either.
"A lot of people bring that last game up, and it's a touchy subject," he said. "To get that close makes it hard. We have to appreciate what we did do. But can you imagine what it'd be like getting together after 10 years if we'd won that game?"
Also in attendance were players John Frick, Mac Frederick, Evon Weistling, Jordan Statler, Andrew Cordell and Rusty Cordell, head coach Garon Gembe and assistants Marc Pool and Jeremy Eby.

At Residence Inn, we have perfected the extended stay experience by combining all of the comforts of home with our excellent reputation for customer service.
This was my third stay at this hotel in the last year. I was highly disappointed in the cleanliness of the room this time. The carpet was dirty (they were cleaning that up), the furniture was torn and stained, the curtains were stained and their was something in the vent. I stay with my two young daughters so I really would prefer someplace much cleaner.The staff, as usual was friendly but they...
They were fast and helpful in changing our rooms to accommodate an elderly relative. They also cleaned the rooms early in the morning so they were fresh for afternoon meetings. I wish all hotels, not just this one, could do something about people coming to the public breakfast in their pajamas. Ghastly. Really America, aren't we better than that?

I read somewhere that the BRIC countries are the economic growth engines of the coming recovery. They will leave us slow over-socialized western economies behind in the dust. Well it seems, everyone knows that. That is why investing in those countries is all the rage and earnings multiples on their stock markets are going higher and higher.
Eh, wait a minute... If those mulitples go higher and higher does that mean that those markets are priced for 'perfection' and that they are expensive? Then how are we to make big profits there? Well dear Reader, you hit the nail on the head. Research shows that stock market proftis in these popular hot emerging economies is often difficult to achieve and easy to lose. It is like investing in a high-tech stock of the late 1990s!
But there is another way... You the reader may shout, "old news, I already invest in Canadian oil and gas and in Canadian mining buddy! I am way ahead of you!" Hmmm, that is not bad, but that was not what I had in mind. I was more thinking in terms of using strong Canadian dollars to diversify in bluestock companies with a worldwide presence that pay nice dividends.
Read further... (whisper, whisper). Every one knows the U.S. economy is in a deep hole, although there is now a bit improvement. But there is the high debt, the traumatized U.S. consumer and a ruinous real estate market and so on. So why invest there? I gave you the answer! Many large U.S. corporations make significant profits overseas, think Apple, Microsoft, General Electric, Johnson and Johnson, Proctor and Gamble, even Berkshire Hathaway has started to invest in China. All of them you can right now buy at depressed U.S. stockmarket prices and they pay decent dividends. Mind you, the dividends typically don't qualify for the Canadian dividend tax credit.
So what is the easiest way to buy a set of major U.S. large cap companies paying good dividends? Buy them all at once in one fell swoop or swell foop. Consider using your strong Canadian dollar to buy ETFs of the Dow Jones 30 industrial index. You get the world's most successful dividend paying companies for a bargain (30 - 40% off in Cdn dollars compared to a few years back) and you get a lot of exposure to emerging markets and even to a recovering U.S. economy. What is that for diversification?

Why study a language?
We live in a multilingual world with more than 6,900 living languages being used across the globe! 94% of the world does NOT speak English as their first language and 75% of the world does not speak English at all. What a wonderful skill it is, to be able to understand and converse with friends and associates from other countries.
When you learn another language, you are able to get a real insight and understanding into other cultures as well as open doors with your ability to communicate. In today's global economy, knowing another language really gives you a competitive edge when applying for a job. Moreover, research shows that results in English and Maths are higher for students who study a foreign language.
Pupils will learn either French or German when they start at Tabor and will continue with this one language, which will ensure that they have a high level of competency and are well-prepared to embark on a GCSE in that language. By the end of their third year pupils will have become proficient in speaking, writing, reading and listening to their chosen language, will be secure in three tenses and a broad range of topics and vocabulary, giving them a firm foundation for the transition to GCSE. In accordance with the new KS3 languages curriculum, pupils will enjoy regular dictation and translation tasks, as well as exposure to authentic French and German materials and selected examples of literature.
Having mastered the KS3 content, pupils will start a two-year GCSE course in year 10, where they will further develop and sharpen their skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing within topics such as sport, free time and entertainment, media and youth culture as well as knowing about everyday activities, routines, holidays, hobbies, health and fitness. The department is committed to ensuring that every languages student achieves their potential and understands how their languages qualification can work for them in their future career.
How will I be assessed?
Each of the four skills is assessed in an end of course examination and each skill is worth 25%. The speaking exam will take place in April or May of year 11 and is conducted by the class teacher, recorded and sent to the exam board for assessment. It involves asking and answering questions on two topics, a role – play and a picture-based discussion. The writing, reading and listening examinations take place in the exam season amongst the other subjects and are also assessed by the exam board. They involve answering questions to demonstrate comprehension as well as translation exercises.
Community Languages
We have always had a history at Tabor of supporting students to take a GCSE in a language spoken at home that isn't English. We have offered GCSEs in a number of community languages in the past including Polish, Portuguese, Turkish, Italian, Spanish, Arabic and Chinese. The MFL department works with students to fully prepare them for the exams. If you have any questions about community languages please direct these to your child's language teacher or a member of the MFL team.

The French Perl Workshop 2010 had a whole track on perl6; so before going there, I quickly downloaded the parrot and rakudo packages for win32 from sourceforge, with the intent of playing with perl6 during the (long!) trip from Geneva to Calais. I've been reading and hearing about perl6 for some years, but so far I had never taken time to give it a try.
Alas, the distribution did not work, complaining for a missing DLL that I didn't know where to find. So I had plenty of time for other, more urgent tasks during the travel, but sadly I hadn't written a single line of perl6 yet.
At the conference, I started telling my neighbour about this misadventure ... and it turned out that this neighbour was François Perrad, the author of the parrotwin32 package ! François quickly found out the problem with the distribution; we fixed it manually on my machine, and François is going to issue a new distribution within a few days.
So, because of this nice coincidence, I finally was able to write my first "hello, world" program in perl6.
The next step will be to try to do some real work ... but for this I need a database connection, and as far as I know, the DBI redesign for perl6 by Tim Bunce is not complete yet. I talked about this to Martin Berends, who had given several talks on perl6 during the day .... and nice coincidence again, it turns out that Martin has a "fakedbi" project that implements a subset of Perl DBI , ported from perl5 to perl6 !
So after these lucky coincidences, my only problem is that I no longer have any excuse for not looking seriously at perl6 !

Implementation of a language translator for the computer aided prototyping system

Rapid prototyping is a method of software system development that is gaining much support presently. Rapid prototyping allows the designer to quickly produce a model of a system or part of a system which the user can see and thus verify if his requirements have been met. The prototype specifications can then be efficiently converted to an accurate set of program specifications that the programmers can implement as a final working system. The computer aided prototyping system (CAPS) is a rapid prototyping system that will automate many of the processes of prototyping such as code generation of prototype modules and searching for reusable components. One of the many components of CAPS is a language translator which translates a prototype specification written in the Prototype System Description Language (PSDL) into a set of Ada procedures and packages. The Ada procedures and packages, when executed in proper order, will effectively execute the prototype. This thesis demonstrates an implementation of the translator component of the CAPS. An attribute grammar tool, Kodiyak, is used to build a translator which implements the major constructs of PSDL and produces Ada code to implement PSDL operators according to their control constraints.

High fee of private schools problematic
Peshawar: Majority favours private schools for their children but high fees are problematic for them. According to a recent Gallup survey a majority (62%) of urban Pakistanis believe that the quality of education in private schools is better than in government schools. But only one quarter (26%) of them are satisfied with the fee structure, whereas 67% complain about high fees in private schools.
A small number of 3% believe that fees are very low while 4% did not give a response. Nearly forty percent (40%) of urban Pakistanis also believe that all schools should be run by government, 56% said private schools should be permitted to function and the remaining did not express a view. The Gallup survey on education was conducted with parents and it asked them a series of questions on the education of their school going children. The survey findings also indicated that each year nearly one million urban children enroll themselves in urban schools and about half as many change a school within the same city or move elsewhere.
Sixty-four percent (64%) of parents who admitted their children in class one said they did not face any problem; however 26% said it was quite difficult to obtain admission for a child in first grade. The survey was conducted by Gallup Pakistan, among a representative sample of more than 1000 men and women in the major urban areas of the country. The sample included a cross section of people belonging to various age, income, education and linguistic backgrounds. F.P Report
Committees to stop regularisation of ineligible teachers
Peshawar: The elementary and secondary education department has formed scrutiny committees to ensure that ineligible contract teachers seeking regularisation of their services in Grade 16 and 17 are not confirmed, sources said.
After the government announced regularisation of services of contract employees, many contract teachers, who had not joined their respective schools under the agreement, also applied for confirmation of their services, they said. In view of shortage of teachers, the provincial government had appointed teachers on contract basis in 2005 and continued to extend their contracts for six months or one year.
Due to meagre salaries and temporary nature of the job, many teachers had opted not to join their duties and preferred working somewhere else. Each scrutiny committee is led by a chairman and has two members, which will look into the details of teachers in the designated districts.
Swabi Government High School principal Liaqat Ali has been appointed chairman of the committee that will look into cases of contract teachers in southern districts, including Kohat, Hangu, Karak and Bannu. Ahmad Jan, principal of Government High School at Charsadda Khas, is leading the committee which will examine the documents of contract teachers in Peshawar, Charsadda, Mardan, Nowshera and Swabi districts.
The committee headed by Hameedullah Jan, principal of Government Higher Secondary School at Pezu, Lakki Marwat, will scrutinise applications of contract teachers in Dera Ismail Khan, Tank and Lakki Marwat. Similarly, Abdur Raqeeb, chairman of another committee, will conduct scrutiny of cases of contract teachers in Lower and Upper Dir and Chitral.
Sultan Mehmood and his team will visit Malakand, Swat and Buner to do the job. Sharif Gul and Ghulam Mustafa, who lead their respective committees, will decide the eligibility of teachers in Haripur, Abbottabad and Mansehra, and Battagram, Shangla and Kohistan, respectively.
The committees will carry out scrutiny of appointment orders of teachers concerned from the list supplied to the directorate of elementary and secondary education by executive district officers concerned. Dawn
E-learning web portal
Islamabad: The Roots School System has launched a special online home study web portal http://www.rootsschool.edu.pk/homestudy.
The objective of the web portal is to ensure that 'learning never stops' and the basic facets of learning continue to be fulfilled even if students are at home for any reason. The online outreach programme by Roots refers to the instruction at home through curriculum posted on the web portal.
The Roots home study portal contains grade-wise printable worksheets, virtual assessments, comprehension sheets, activity sheets, descriptive writing sheets, guided writing sheets, supplementary sheets and assignment sheets for all subjects for each age group. Moreover, it offers teaching guidelines for parents and students, virtual Q-A forms for asking home questions, and a host of web links with teacher advice. The worksheets are divided into levels, which include Montessori to Grade 7.
Online learning potentially allows students and parents' access to specialised learning resources and materials, and greater flexibility in scheduling self-study time and resources. The best part is that parents can be with their children during the online study sessions and sponsor an extended classroom at their own doorstep.
Addressing the launching ceremony of the web portal here on Wednesday, Chaudhry Faisal Mushtaq, director of the Roots School System e-Learning Programme, said the goal of the portal is to provide resources that our students could actually use to supplement their learning while at home. It also aims to provide for self and home study guided learning opportunities in parental and self-supervision to catch up with lost teaching and learning hours at school in the current circumstances. He said young students are the future of the country and we must work together to make them succeed even at home.

(Sugo de Pomodori e Guanciale) This is my favorite pasta sauce and it is used for many dishes including spaghetti, lasagna, canneloni and manicotti. One may add this to a good fish stock as the basis for an Italain fish stew (cacciucco or cioppino). If you want a Pizzaiola Sauce, add a glass of red wine when you add the tomatoes.
This is Elena Mantini's recipe, my good friend who lives with her family along the Appian Way in Quaromiglio. Now in her 80's and still going strong. One of the best Italian cooks I know, Elena and her daughter Rosanna help me learn to cook at a young age. She set the bar high.
Sauce is for a pound of pasta
½ Diced Spanish (yellow) onion
¼ cup each of minced carrot and minced celery4
3 Tablespoons of best olive oil
4 Tablespoons of double strength tomato paste
¼ Pound chopped guanciale2 or salt pork
1 Pound of fresh seeded, peeled, ripe San Marzano tomatoes1, chopped
2 Cloves of crushed garlic finely minced
Crushed red pepper or powdered chili
Small pinch of marjoram or fresh marjoram
Small pinch of basil or fresh basil, chopped
Small pinch of shopped rosemary or fresh chopped rosemary
Season with black pepper and salt
Garnish with finely chopped parsley, a dollop of ricotta cheese and sprinkle with grated Parmigiano Reggiano or peccorino Romano cheese.
Sauté onion, celery and carrot and crushed red pepper in olive oil with pork product until onions are translucent. Add garlic and stir. After just 1 minute, add tomato paste and a tablespoon water. Cook on high heat while stirring constantly to allow the tomato paste to caramelize somewhat before adding anything else. This gives the tomato sauce hundreds of different flavor compounds. Now add tomatoes and the rest of the spices. Cook covered thirty minutes on medium low stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Remove lid and cook on very low to reduce liquid. Correct seasoning with fresh ground black pepper. Serve over very hot pasta and garnish.
Variation of this recipe includes using pork neck bones, venison sausage, or coarsely chopped Italian sausage. Use caraway seed with venison and use finely crushed Star anise or anise seeds with Italian sausage recipe. Variations to garnish include substituting basil for parsley or a combination of both and Pecorino Romano for the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.
Pasta choices I favor include spaghetti, fettuccine, vermicelli, mostaccioli (large penne), campanelle (fluted bells), orecchie (ears), rigatoni (tubes), penne rigate (diagonally cut cylinders with ridges) or conchiglie (shells). Elena always served just spaghetti.
1. San MarzanoTomatoes . Use canned if fresh not available.
2. Guanciale has become quite popular and increasingly more available outside of Italy. Guanciale is the cured meat from the jowl ("guancia" in Italian) of the pig or sometimes boar. The meat is cured with salt, pepper, hot pepper and sometimes sugar for a month. After hanging for another month, the Guanciale is ready to be consumed. Guanciale is a fundamental flavor for many of the dishes of the Lazio region (Roman food) especially sauces including Amatriciana, and Carbonara. Guanciale replaces pancetta in any recipe for a bolder flavor. See page for Homemade guanciale.
3. This caramelization is a Maillard reaction (a chemical reaction between an amino acid and food sugars.) The temperature necessarily needs to be above 305 F and water retards this reaction. In Italian, soffriggere means to brown so the ingredients are also referred to as a soffritto.
4. The combination of onions, carrots, and celery are referred to is America as the "aromatic vegetables" and as a mirepoix (mir-pwaah) by the French.

The day started early as Milenko had to go to university and we wander a bit in the city center since our next stop, Forli, was about 3-4 hours of cycling. So after a nice breakfast that Milenko prepared, we reached the historic center of Bologna.
Enjoying our last ride without any time pressure, we saw several students and we found out that the first university in the world was built here. The beautiful arches is typical architecture in the region and of course we took plenty of photos.
Next stop Forlì, where we would be hosted in a good and crazy friend from beach tennis, Mauri! Mauri, who I met five years ago in a beach tennis tournament in New York and met again in another tournament in Mauritius in 2013, he is now dad and hosted us with his lovely family!
Of course there was no way to pass from Forli, and not enter the indoor beach tennis courts for a few sets! What if I spent so many days cycling, there is nothing compared to my love for tennis!!
Needless to say that the evening ended once again with a delicious dinner, tasting spaghetti capelletti and caramelle, as well as pizza which is not easy to find anywhere else :)

You are looking for a job and there's a job fair in your area with very interesting companies. Unfortunately it is on Saturday. Should you go?
Let's say you manage to not break any actual commandments. You walk there, you don't carry anything, you don't sign your name and so on. Which in itself is a challenge, because giving and receiving business cards without carrying is … difficult. But let's say you manange that. Imagine you managed to get an interview at one of the companies. In the interview you mention that you need to take Shabat and the Jewish holidays off. Your interviewer remembers that you met at this job fair on Shabat. How serious are they going to take your request? You can explain the technicalities all you want, I doubt this is a good starting point.

I received a product of my choice from sassy and brassy boutique online shop for my honest review. The product that I chose to do my review on is the royal fringe tunic. First off I am in love with the color of this tunic, it's a very pretty blue color. The very bottom of this tunic is very beautiful, it has fringe across the entire bottom, along with a lace detailing above the fringe. Down the middle of this adorable tunic it has the same lace detailing as the bottom. I enjoy the length of this top it's a bit longer to wear with pants or leggings. I do recommend this shop and their products to my readers.

A Grenoble, France-based company has unveiled a new fleet tracking system that installs chips in trailers and then tracks them using a special radio network. Eliot SA has put together a fleet management system that uses an iChip in a mobile data collection terminal, which is then installed on tractor-trailers. The system uses Internet protocol (IP) technology to provide trucking companies with real-time online tracking via what's called a General Packet Radio Service network (GPRS). The iChip is designed to funnel tracking information over a wireless radio connection and onto the Internet, where fleet operations personnel can tap into it. This technology is designed to take full advantage of what chip maker ConnectOne calls the higher speed, lower cost and immediate access of GPRS connectivity.
However, the suggested pricing for iChip is $20 for over 10,000 units, which may prove too pricey for the U.S. market. Such tracking services are part of the growing market in telematics wireless delivery of voice and data automotive services to vehicles. Forrester Research, a consulting firm, predicts that telematics will become a $20-billion industry worldwide by 2006.

Artist: SOUNDWALK COLLECTIVE
Title: Transmissions
Format: 4 LP Box
Label: Dischi Fantom
Country: Italy
Price: $80.00
|"A four-record anthology of Soundwalk Collective. Hertzian frequencies, radio interceptions, fragments of voices, singing sands, shortwave transmissions, archival recordings, vanished worlds, chaotic harmonies, daunting moments of confusion, an audible entropy, elation, and an endless search for beauty into chaos. The box set gathers four previously unreleased studio compositions by the New York and Berlin-based group of artists-musicians: Ulysses Syndrome, Medea, Empty Quarter, and Bessarabia, and a booklet including "Black-Winged Night", an essay by musician and writer David Toop, and a conversation between Soundwalk Collective and Dischi Fantom founder, Massimo Torrigiani. The four compositions -- mastered by Stefan Betke -- are the result of extensive journeys and field recordings in the Mediterranean basin, the Black Sea, the Rub al Khali Desert, and the region around Odessa, once known as Bessarabia. An international genre-bending group of artists-musicians with studios in New York City and Berlin, the three members of Soundwalk Collective (Stephan Crasneanscki, Simone Merli, and Kamran Sadeghi) bound in Manhattan to produce concept albums, sound installations, and live performances, often in collaboration with other artists, musicians, and writers. Selected tracks from Transmissions are being broadcast internationally as part of Every Time A Ear Di Soun, the radio program of documenta14, curated by Adam Szymiczyk. The program includes a headphone installation in the Press and Information Centre in Kassel, designed by Aristide Antonas, and in the ASFA Library in Athens. An excerpt from the included essay by David Toop: "I hear this displacement of refrains. I am not fixed within signs but adrift within signals. Like a bat or a dolphin, I hear scanned frequencies otherwise inaudible to my human limitations and these voices and tones captured from the aether seem to me to be our equivalent of those voices of gods who spoke words that flew; music asserts its regional and cultural affiliations and yet at the same time it drifts unmoored in the ocean of sound." Graphic design by Fabrizio Radaelli; Photography by Stephan Crasneanscki; Printed and assembled in Italy by Grafiche Antiga. Record pressing: Optimal Media, Germany; Mastering by Stefan Betke at ~Scape Mastering, Berlin; 160 gram vinyl; Edition of 300." - Dischi Fantom.

Noël Amenc, Frédéric Ducoulombier, Felix Goltz, Jakub Ulahel: The objective of this paper is to review ten common but mistaken claims about Smart Beta, and to shed light on the underlying issues.
Professor of Finance, EDHEC-Risk Institute, CEO, ERI Scientific Beta
Associate Professor of Finance, EDHEC-Risk Institute, Corporate Director, ERI Scientific Beta
Head of Applied Research, EDHEC-Risk Institute, Research Director, ERI Scientific Beta
Quantitative Equity Analyst, ERI Scientific Beta
Smart Beta strategies, as one of the strongest growth areas in investment management recently, have established a space in between traditional (cap-weighted) passive investments and traditional (proprietary and discretionary) active management. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Smart Beta has drawn fierce criticism from both advocates of traditional active management and of traditional passive management. In a nutshell, proponents of proprietary active strategies complain that Smart Beta is not active enough while proponents of traditional cap-weighting say that Smart Beta is not passive enough. Smart Beta providers have not only responded to such criticism, but have also been vocal about the benefits of their respective approaches, without necessarily agreeing with one another. Such debates have too often led to misconceptions.

Could you be wearing used underwear?
I just watched one of the most horrific undercover investigation videos EVER. Victoria's Secret, Bloomingdales, Macy's, and a slew of other department stores accept returned underwear that may have been worn and re-tag them as new and put them back on the sales floor. Without even inspecting the returned merchandise for signs of wear, this includes swimsuits... In a few cases the sales associate didn't even wait for the person returning the item to leave the area before re-tagging and replacing the item for sale... This is by far the nastiest and most irresponsibly inconsiderate thing I have ever been witness to... Like who the hell thinks it's a good idea to accept used underpants and RE-SELL THEM... Bacteria can live for weeks undisturbed on fabrics.. SMH just goes to show people really don't give a shit about other people as long as their money isn't fucked up in the process... Ugh this makes me want to buy some fabric and some underwear patterns and make my own shit.

The New York Mets and the Washington Nationals met for the first time during the 2017 season on Friday at Citi Field. The Nationals took the first game of the series with a 4-3 victory after 11 innings.
Jacob deGrom was supposed to start on Friday, but a stiff neck caused the Mets to move his start back to Saturday. Instead Matt Harvey was called upon with three days' rest to face Tanner Roark and the Nationals. Harvey made a quality start as he went seven innings giving up four hits, two walks, and three runs on two home runs. Harvey also struck out two batters on the night.
Jerry Blevins pitched a scoreless eighth, striking out one and walking one.
Addison Reed pitched in his first game since handing the closer's role back to Jeurys Familia whose 15-game suspension ended Thursday. However, after Familia threw 30 pitches in his first game back Thursday, Reed was called upon to pitch the ninth. He answered with a perfect inning.
Josh Smoker pitched a scoreless 10th and stayed in for the 11th as well. Familia came in after all as he replaced Smoker after giving up a one-out double to Bryce Harper and an intentional walk to Daniel Murphy. Familia got out of the inning, but not before giving up a bases-loaded walk to Trea Turner to give the Nationals a 4-3 lead.
After Harper gave the Nationals an early 2-0 lead in the top of the first, Michael Conforto hit a lead-off home run in the bottom of the inning to make it a 2-1 game.
Curtis Granderson tied the game up at two in the bottom of fourth with an RBI single. The Nationals took a 3-2 lead in the fifth on a Jose Lobaton home run, but Granderson tied things up again in the sixth as he hit his first home run of the season.
The Mets couldn't cash in on a good scoring chance in the seventh. With a short bench, Zack Wheeler pinch-hit for Harvey and got a two-out double. An intentional walk to Conforto and a walk to Juan Lagares loaded the bases for Jay Bruce, but he lined out to Harper in right field.
The Mets failed to score in the next four innings as well as the Nationals pulled out the win in the 11th.
On Deck
The Mets will look to end their two-game skid on Saturday at Citi Field. If healthy, deGrom (0-0, 1.89 ERA) will take on Gio Gonzalez (1-0, 1.33 ERA) at 4:05 PM. If deGrom isn't healthy, it is likely that recently recalled Sean Gilmartin would get the nod.

One of a Kind
Through minimalist design and strong craftsmanship, we aim to facilitate our clients connecting with and deriving meaning from the products in their homes. Our original designs are developed with consideration for longevity and durability. Every board is hand carved, sanded and finished with a lifetime of good use in mind.
Handmade, start to finish
By founder Allison Samuels, who currently works out of her East Williamsburg, NY studio. Shortly after receiving her BFA in Fibers from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), Allison traveled up and down the East Coast before settling back in her homestate to pursue residential cabinetry and build the Two Tree brand. A childhood surrounded by lush forests and rock-filled rivers undoubtedly translated to an eye for simple, nature-based design, and Allison's strong interest in preserving natural resources.
Sustainability Commitment
We value products that are not only well but consciously-made. Part of that is continual research to source the most earth-friendly materials possible. We believe that "green" items are also more beautiful, and are confident that your loved ones will feel the difference.

Best practice from OMD UK
Vodafone had a problem. Its success in the corporate business world created a relative weakness at the smaller end of the 'enterprise' market.
Small businesses perceived Vodafone as being too big and corporate and didn't see Vodafone's advertising as relevant to them.
On top of this channels that specifically target small business are both fragmented and patchy in terms of coverage. Creating advertising impact to these audiences is almost impossible.
OMD UK proposed a campaign that would bring the audience to them and demonstrate Vodafone's innate understanding of the small business world.
The client brief asked OMD UK to change perceptions of the trades based (more blue collar) small business audience to help deliver sales of a voice and text based business tariff - as opposed to the white collar target audience who Vodafone attract with their data based offerings (e.g. Blackberry and USB modems).
The big idea
It was Autumn, thoughts were turning towards the season of goodwill – it was the perfect time to lay down the Vodafone Small Business Challenge to local businesses: 'What can you do to help make a community project happen in your area for the benefit of all?'
Vodafone would act as the impetus and facilitator of inspirational acts of locally based goodwill – reflecting their role as a lubricant in everyday business life
OMD UK had two key insights. The first being that the local community is at the heart of small tradespeople's business worlds. They do the majority of their business locally, with regional reputation hugely important. To break the image of Vodafone concentrating on big businesses we needed to root our activity in the local community.
The second insight was that small businesses are proud of their work. They do not necessarily set up business to make big money, rather it is often a decision that centers on job satisfaction and lifestyle. To engage this community OMD UK needed to offer a chance to use their skills and expertise whilst contributing to their local commmunity.
Making it happen
OMD UK had a compelling cause to get involved in, now they needed a way of reaching and motivating their target audience to take an interest, take part and discuss what was going on - as only by inspiring bonhomie and talkability could they really start shifting perceptions.
From their bespoke client audience surveys and Touchpoints analysis, OMD UK knew that radio was a medium small businesses love and they subsequently used GCap and Bauer's networks to cover off the 21 areas they had identified as key and set about laying down the Vodafone Small Business Challenge.
Individual projects were picked to tap into the needs and spirit of the locale. People were invited to not simply listen to the projects unfold but contribute anything from time and expertise to raw materials to making a well earned tea for everyone. In return helpers' businesses were given on air mentions whilst Vodafone received recognition via recorded trails, as well as the all important DJ talk ups which set a tone of collaborative effort.
In London even the legendary 'Help a London Child' Christmas campaign changed format from their usual gift collection to a Vodafone challenge. Launched by Jonny Vaughn live on his breakfast show he chatted to a senior OMD UK client, Elaine Roberts, about Vodafone's involvement – exactly the sort of 'money can't buy' endorsement they were looking for (not to mention a very excited client!)
Stations became so involved with the projects that overplayed trails and content over-delivered impacts by a staggering 78%. Vodafone small business customer preference scores rose from 49% to 57%, moving Vodafone to first place in the sector, and 'non-customer consideration' beat client targets by a full 6 percentage points.
This contributed to Vodafone small business sales increasing 55% during the activity - Oct to Dec 2007 (sources: Vodafone sales and brand health data). Possibly most pleasing result of all is that OMD UK rooted their campaign in the importance of the local community and as such 23 projects have now been completed including the building of an entire new wing of the Shooting Star Children's Hospice in London.

Born and raised in Miami,
Florida, Haitian Beauty, Sandy Jean Philippe recently hit the Hollywood
scene when she led a team of full-figured models to win the grand
prize on E! Networks "Bank of Hollywood", produced by
Ryan Seacrest. The grand prize would provide financing for Sandy
and her company "One Chance Entertainment", and six
of their models on a six-city "Evolution of Curves",
tour showcasing fashion for the curvy, full-figured woman. The tour
will begin in June 2010.
As a young and very ambitious
teen, Sandy recalls being told that her hopes to be a model and
actress were not realistic because she just didn't fit the
"mold". These comments would prove to be the driving
force to her success. After graduating from college, she packed
her bags and headed west to Los Angeles to pursue her dreams in
acting and modeling. Sandy landed a role in the movie Trapped: Haitian
Nights starring Vivica Fox and Kenya Moore, scheduled to be in theaters
summer 2010. Other credits include, "I Didn't Know I
Was Pregnant" and most recently, she landed a Music Video
appearance with recording artist Macy Gray for her upcoming single.
Sandy is a vivacious young woman
with a big heart who loves to entertain. She possesses all the qualities
to be successful in the industry and in the community. This Haitian
Bombshell is prepared to take the world by storm. "Beauty
comes in all shapes, sizes, race, and ethnicities. I am the Essence
of a Woman. I represent the Fabulous B's Beauty, Brains, and
Boldness", says Sandy.

So, here I am...down in Carpinteria, CA (pop. 14K). This is my hometown, the place I sometimes still call "home" when I've had a glass of wine or two. This is probably my first trip down here without my husband since the birth of our second child almost 2 years ago. Traveling alone 6 hours with the two kids seemed unfathomable, but in reality, it wasn't that bad. We actually stopped in SLO and played at Mitchell Park in the rain. We laughed and danced in the gazebo...it was one of those picture moments that you can only capture in your head.
Anyways, I went a whole day (yesterday) without thinking about cooking and subsequently photographing it for your pleasure...haha! But today, I was back at it. This is what we had tonight....chuck roast was on sale, so in honor of being in my childhood home, I made a meal that dates back beyond my own birth. It's called Beef Paprika and served on egg noodles. The basic ingredients are beef, onion, garlic, paprika, ketchup, mustard powder and Worchershire. I remember my mom making it in the "electric skillet," a contraption that was probably replaced with the crockpot? However, I'm not really sure if they were similar at all or which came first! I will post the recipe later on, but I remember eating this one as a kid and loving it every time. A little sweet and savory trip down memory lane.

Experiences College Students Say Lead To Success
When a college information session mentions the number of students who return for a second year, they are giving insight into the quality of the programs designed to integrate young students into the fabric of college life. Most do a good job.
First Year Experience Programs that create groups of students with similar interests or into a First Year Seminar in which all participants student the same thing or read the same book make it possible for new students to have an immediate group of acquaintances to walk with, talk to and meet for dinner or coffee.
The National Career Development Association polled students to formulate this list of activities that helped them stay the course to graduation.
6 College Experiences that College Grads Say Helped Them Be Successful NCDA
- I had at least one professor at [college] who made me excited about learning.2.2. 2. My professor(s) at [college] cared about me as a person.
3. I had a mentor who encouraged me to pursue my goals and dreams.
4. I worked on a project that took a semester or more to complete.
5. I had an internship or job that allowed me to apply what I was learning in the classroom.
6. I was extremely active in extracurricular activities and organizations while I attended [college].
Point 1, having professors who create excitement about learning or who fuel your curiosity puts the onus on the professor to bring the subject to life. You will meet professors who know a lot but aren't inspiring teachers and you will meet professors who can make a brick wall interesting. Don't write off the boring subjects or boring teachers: learn what you can because somewhere, some time, you will be able to use that knowledge.
Notice that Points 2-6 all rely on the student to take initiative.
#2 For your professors to care about you they must know you. Get over your intimidation and drop by office hours for a chat. See them as people who happen to know more about a given topic than you do. Pick their brain, ask questions, show interest.
#3 To find a mentor you have to know people and when you find the right one you must ask. Mentors don't pop up out of nowhere: you have to look for and make connections with lots of people. Put yourself out there!
#4 Projects that are interdisciplinary or are carried out over an extended period mirror work experiences. Assisting a professor's research or writing is a great way to get yourself known in your field. Many undergrads are published before commencement.
#5 Internships are like jobs. You will need a resume and an interview. Students who expect the college or a professor to hook them up with an internship have missed the point. Gaining experience requires that you know what you are good at as well as what you need to learn. Guess what? You will use those skills every time you look for a new job. Internships create experience and networks that lead to your first post-grad job. Use this opportunity to have as many internships or co-op experiences as possible.
#6 Joining organizations early in your first year is a great way to meet people and explore ideas or events that you might consider in your job search. Students who spend their time with high school friends on FB or Instagram tend to be lonely and unhappy. Choose a time once a week to check in with your old group but spend the bulk of your socializing hours getting to know the people in your new world. Those with the most connections tend to be the happiest and most successful. You may make life-long friends in the organizations you join.
To sum up, colleges have a responsibility to provide relevant knowledge and to make it available to students. Students have the responsibility to build relationships with faculty and other students. You aren't in high school any longer; only you can make these years productive and fulfilling.
I have more transition advice for college-bound students. Let me answer your questions and give you the confidence you need to flourish. 610-212-6679 or firstname.lastname@example.com
