Fry bread (spelled as either two words or just one - "frybread") is a food that seems to be common to many American Indian tribes. It is what it sounds like - fried bread. Dough is formed by hand into a flat patty-like shape and then fried until golden on both sides. The way I remembered it, it tasted just slightly sweet, like some really yummy white bread and a funnel cake had a baby.
Fry bread will win no health awards. In fact, this article in Smithsonian Magazine basically calls out fry bread as one of the causes of obesity among American Indians. Regardless, I loved it. My favorite way to eat it was in a Navajo taco - fry bread dressed up with beans, lettuce, tomato, and other fixins. Fry bread is also great topped with honey as a sweet treat.
Navajo Fry Bread and Tacos
Printable Version
Navajo Fry Bread
Makes 4 pieces
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 powdered milk
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon warm water
corn, canola, or vegetable oil for frying
Add dry ingredients to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse to blend. Turn processor on and slowly pour water in the pour spout until a ball of dough forms. The dough should be just moist enough to pull away from the sides and stay together in one ball, but still be sticky to the touch.
Remove dough to a lightly oiled bowl and let rest while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. Dough should rest for at least 10 minutes.
When ready to fry dough, pour oil 1/2 deep into a large skillet. Heat oil to 350-365 degrees.
Cut dough into four equal portions. On a floured work surface, use your hands to pat each dough piece into a circle about 8 inches in diameter. You can also use a rolling pin. Use your thumb to create a depression in the very center of the flattened dough.
When oil is ready, gently slip the formed dough into the oil. Use a spatula to press down the dough to allow oil to coat the top. Fry about 2 minutes until the bottom is browned, then flip to brown the other side. Remove to a plate covered with paper towels. Fry bread may be kept warm in a 200 degree oven until ready to serve.
Navajo Tacos
Makes 4 tacos
4 pieces fry bread, recipe above
Southwest-Style Black Beans, recipe below
1/4 head of lettuce, shredded
1 tomato, chopped
1/4 onion, chopped
any other taco toppings you like (shredded cheese, cilantro, sour cream, guacamole, etc.)
Top warm fry bread with beans, lettuce, tomato, onion, and any other topping you wish. Eat open face with a fork and knife or use your hands and eat taco folded in half.
Southwest-Style Black Beans
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped onion
1 clove garlic, chopped
one 15 ounce can black beans
1/2 cup vegetable stock
1 teaspoon tomato paste (optional, use if you have on hand)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
dash dried oregano
dash ground cayenne pepper
In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm olive oil. Add onion and garlic and cook until onion is transparent.
Add black beans and vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Add tomato paste and seasonings and stir to combine.
Reduce heat to low and simmer while preparing remaining ingredients and frying bread.
Absolute yum. I greedily managed to eat two of these in one sitting. I napped shortly thereafter. But seriously - I lucked upon a really tasty recipe. The bread had that faint sweetness I remember, courtesy of the milk powder. It puffed up nicely, regardless of whether I shaped the bread by hand or used a rolling pin. My beans recipe might not be super authentic, but they were quite tasty. Definitely give this a try when you're in the mood for something comforting and filling.

Electricity in boxing gloves?
Guess what kickboxer Nicolas Wamba-Barzic (defeated Fabrice Aurieng savate champion) has in his gloves - looks like some additional frequency meter or heart bit rate monitor or ...? Do you have an answer? Please help me with comment. Thank you.

text: There's something a bit special about an early Autumn morning when the blossoming day is set to be an unusually hot one. Being by the riverside, the cool evening dew had begun to be heated by the sun. Quite thick in places, I could have been totally alone, a thousand miles from anywhere as I had a wander along the footpath.

I've been wanting to try this recipe since I saw this from Yummy magazine but I keep putting it off since I can't find puff pastry here and I don't want to make it from scratch either (I tried making it before, I failed and am not yet ready to try again..it wasn't easy for me).
I finally gave it a try puff pastry or not, I had a sudden egg tart craving so I made these using pate sucree instead. It works too..it's the yummiest egg tarts I've ever made. I really like it's subtle coconut taste and the contrasting texture of crust and filling.
So what's the difference between Chinese egg tarts and Portuguese tarts? Portueguese tarts are not that simple to make; for one, it uses puff pastry (masa folhado) which is not easily available and one that I find quite tricky to make at home. It also involves making hot syrup and pouring it into the cooked custard which again is not as simple that's why I've always prefer to make Chinese egg tart cause it's easier, but when I finally tried this recipe..oh, I have to say I really like Pateis de Nata a lot better – burnt top, crispy crust and subtle coconut taste, oh sooo yummy!!! 😀
make the crust..cream butter and sugar; add egg
..and flour; mix until it forms a dough
divide dough into 6 or 12 ( for tartlettes) and press into muffin pan
prepare the filling and pour into crust..and bake
This is one burnt food that I'm not embarrased to show here 😉
what it looks like inside…sooo delish!! 🙂
PASTEIS de NATA ( Portuguese-style egg Tarts)
adapted from Yummy Magazine, March 2010
Makes 6 egg tarts or 12 tartlettes
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup ( 4 tablespoons) butter or margarine, softened
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 small egg
3/4 cup coconut cream ( fresh or canned)*
1/4 cup heavy cream*
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons fresh milk
1/3 cup honey
1 tablespoon flour
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon*
2 large egg yolks
* The original recipe has 1/2 cup each of coconut milk and cream and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon; I changed it a little because I want the taste of coconut to stand out.
Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.
Prepare the crust by creaming butter ans sugar until light. Add the egg and flour and continue mixing until well-blended. Form into a log and divide into 6 or 12 pieces. Put one ball of dough into each muffin cup; press to fit bottom and sides. Set aside.
Make the filling by combining all the ingredients for it except for the egg yolks in a heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly until thick and creamy. Remove pan from heat and slowly add egg yolks ( it's best to temper the yolks first by adding a little of the mixture to it to avoid lumps) while stirring gently. Strain the filling then pour into the crust; bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes. Tops must be burnt but the filling should still be quite soft.
Have a nice day!! 🙂

The most disturbing thing I've noticed is that many whites treat dogs as if they're human. They are NOT human. They are nothing but domesticated wolves. They can be cute and cuddly but they are still not people. This strange connection they have with dogs is very unsettling. One of the sickest things in my opinion is kissing a dog in the mouth. I have seen this sick behavior many times. I find it very disgusting!
This is a very sick video from YouTube. Don't these people know that a kissing a dog can give you gum disease. Or God knows what else!!
This video is even more disgusting. This ugly creature lets her dog lick her tongue! Gross! What man would kiss a woman that French kisses dogs?? What is appealing about tasting a dogs saliva?? There are tons of these videos on YouTube,Twitter and Facebook. They obviously don't find anything wrong with it. They see it as normal behavior.
I found this list on another blog. He lists the similarities between whites and dogs. I must admit the list made me wonder.
1) Dogs and whites have really narrow noses.
2) Dogs and whites love eating raw meat.
3) Dogs and whites are comfortable in colder temperatures.
4) Dogs and whites love anal sex. Many races do now as well because of Jewish domination of the media and porn industry. Does this explain doggy-style?
5) Dogs in the wild and whites are overaggressive.
6) Dogs and whites have similar looking feet. Morton's toe is common among whites.
7) Dogs and whites have really big ears.
8) Many breeds of dogs have white skin under their fur like white people.
9) Dogs have a pack mentality just like whites.
10) Many dogs and all whites have stringy hair that clumps up when it gets dirty.
11) Dogs and whites are both fearful of anything different from themselves.
12) Dogs and whites have really long tongues.
13) Humans develop tails in the uterus and lose them before birth normally but some babies have been born with tails. I don't know if any of those babies were black but I highly doubt it.
14) Many dogs and whites have high-pitched voices.
15) Dogs will eat anything. So will many whites. Remember that TV show Fear Factor?
16) Whites love dairy more than other races. Dogs also love dairy, especially cheese.
17) Some dogs have green or blue eyes like whites and in dogs those are regarded as genetic defects.
18) Many whites lose their hair as they age just like many dogs.
19) Dogs tend to get fleas and ticks. Whites tend to get lice. Blacks don't get lice.
20) Dogs walks on their toes, not the soles on their feet. Maybe this explains high heels?
21) Whites and dogs seem to both be natural swimmers.
22) This is not a similarity as much as demonstration of camaraderie but whites used to use dogs to track down escaped slaves. Now cops still use them to find escaped so-called criminals.
And there are even sites of men and women having sex with dogs! You have to be a perverted piece of scum to do this. That is pure sexual deviancy! Who would engage in sexual activity with a beast??? Some women are even marrying dogs. And there are many incidents of them having sex with dogs too. In this video(below) this blond creature talks about in ancient history women had sex with dogs for pleasure. She goes on to say that "Romans and Greeks" practiced it all the time. You notice she didn't say African people right? That's because Africans didn't do this sick crap! At least she's honest about European history,I'll give her that. But she goes on and gives a list on the top reasons to have sex with dogs. Watch the video…if you can stomach it!
That's it! The videos speak for themselves. I'm going to go puke! I can't stomach this anymore. I'm done!

According to Berita Harian, apparently the proposal to scrap cars more than 15 years old will go ahead but on voluntary basis only, an effort to help improve the sales of new cars which have been in a slump this year so far and has only seen a small pick-up in May.
One who chooses to scrap his car that is older than 15 years old will be reimbursed a maximum of RM5,000 in the form of a voucher that counts towards the sales and excise duty of the new car purchased. Note it says a MAX of RM5,000 – this means it might be lower if whoever decides the value of the voucher thinks your car is worth lower.
Apparently studies have shown that if the scrapping policy is implemented, new car sales will increase by 50,000 to 100,000 cars a year.
Being someone who owns a car more than 15 years old, I am directly someone who falls under the target market of this scheme, and in my opinion, it does not entice me to get rid of my 23-year old Nissan Sunny and buy a new car at all.

The OCC Repertory Theatre Company takes the stage for their summer musical with an epic fairytale about wishes, family, and the choices we make.
Into the Woods tells the story of a Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King's Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone's wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results.

Iraq Ready to Chase Daesh Members beyond Borders: Envoy
TEHRAN (Press Shia Agency) – Iraq's ambassador to Iran voiced the Arab country's readiness to chase the militants affiliated with Daesh (ISIL) terrorist group beyond the borders.
The Iraqi military forces are prepared to hunt for the Daesh members out of the borders with the permission of the governments of Baghdad and Damascus, Iraqi Ambassador to Tehran Rajih Sabir Aboudi al-Mousavi told Press Shia Agency.
During the recent operation to recapture Iraq's northern city of Mosul, thousands of Daesh terrorists were killed and many others fled the region to Syria and elsewhere, the envoy noted, saying the Iraqi security forces are determined to go after the militants.
Mousavi also described the liberation of Mosul as an official termination of Daesh in Iraq, warning, however, that the terrorist group's evil ideologies still prevail in Iraq and the region.
Last week, Iraq declared the complete liberation of Mosul some three years after the northern city fell to Daesh terrorists.
After eight months of difficult urban warfare, Iraqi military forces on June 29 captured the Mosul mosque at the heart of the strategic northern city, where Daesh had declared its de facto capital.
The recapture of Mosul, located some 400 kilometers north of Baghdad, marked the effective end of Daesh in the Arab country.
Daesh stronghold in Syria's Raqqa is also close to falling.

A review by Elisa and Johnamarie. This review contains spoilers.
Kanan has a change of heart, Ezra connects with the Force, and Rex and Ahsoka are reunited in the latest episode of Star Wars Rebels. In the week prior, an Imperial probe droid visited our heroes after Commander Wolffe contacted the Empire in a moment of weakness. Although some felt the returning episode ("The Lost Commanders") was not as strong as the season two premiere and the season one finale, many more agreed that "Relics of the Old Republic" was the better half of the two-part story. Not only did it pick up in pace and suspense, but there was a satisfying amount of character development and homage to fan favorite series Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
One of the last conversations young Caleb Dume had with his ex-comrades, Commander Grey and Captain Styles, in Kanan: The Last Padawan #1 was about the importance of military titles. The clones stressed to him and Depa Billaba that ranks were in place to establish a clear chain of command, one in which the Jedi's leadership played a crucial role. Since then, Kanan's views had drastically changed. At one point, during "Siege of Lothal", Kanan mocked Hera's title of general. In the following episode, he warned Gregor not to call him General Jarrus. And finally, Rex referred to him as a general in the current episode, and instead of mocking and flat-out refusing to be called that, Kanan–through his actions and leadership–came to accept the title. It was a difficult first step for him, but Kanan is a natural born leader and someone who's able to come up with a plan on the spot. It's the reason why he's Specter One and we've seen him take charge time and again throughout the comic book series, in Star Wars: A New Dawn by John Jackson Miller, and in past episodes. This is just one of the many examples of how the Lucasfilm Story Group have been successful in keeping character development consistent across various forms of storytelling.
Left: Kanan uses the Force to "see" the walkers and direct Wolffe's movements with the AT-TE. Right: Ezra uses the Force to find the AT-AT's weak point. (Photos: Lucasfilm)
Kanan also had difficulty accepting Ezra's growing relationship with Rex. The encouragement and words of advice on the part of Rex was a constant reminder of the relationship he had developed with Ahsoka in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Growing up, Ahsoka had three major mentors: Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Rex. Ezra has Kanan (his version of Anakin) and Hera (his version of Obi-Wan), so it's great to see Rex become involved in some way during Ezra's development. Speaking of Ezra, his golden moment of taking down the AT-AT really demonstrates how far advanced he is with his abilities. The writers on the show have done an excellent job at writing his part because most of the time, the child character ends up being neglected by the audience. However, a lot of children and adults are able to connect and identify with Ezra because he's just like any other kid without the stereotypical annoying qualities that are often written into child characters. So when Ezra seamlessly goes from playing in Rex's gunner to focusing and connecting with the Force to do the impossible, one can't help but feel a sense of pride for the character. In many ways, this was Ezra's "Luke moment" and he did it spectacularly well.
Something that also stood out in this episode was how "new" doesn't necessarily mean best. There was the showdown between the clones and the AT-TE versus the stormtroopers and the AT-AT, and although the relics of the old Republic took heavy hits, they managed to triumph in the face of certain death. The win primarily came about because of Kanan's involvement, instantly reminding Rex of the old ways of warfare at a Jedi's side. This is a beautifully written scene that, without a doubt, sits at the top in a list of favorite moments from the series–next to his reunion with Ahsoka, of course. In the end, Agent Kallus underestimated the clones, hurting his ego and arrogance in the process–a well-deserved loss.

One detail that I wish was more evident throughout Star Wars: The Clone Wars was the growing friendship between Rex and Ahsoka. We saw them start off the series together, but as the seasons went on, the two characters operated separately. We barely saw them together. So as fans of both characters, we desperately wanted to see a reunion that evoked deep emotion and those unseen years of friendship. What we got truly surpassed our expectations. And the reunion couldn't have come at a better time in Ahsoka's life, when she's questioning recent events after her encounter with Darth Vader.
In going forward, one of the things that we're interested in seeing the most is Ezra continuing his practice with the Force. How will encountering two new Inquisitors in the next all-new episode ("Always Two There Are") affect him? So far, he's doing all the things that Luke Skywalker will be doing. In The Empire Strikes Back, Luke suffers greatly in that he loses his hand and discovers that his father is a dark lord of the Sith. Could we expect similar parallels in the future for Ezra? Only time will tell.
In the meantime, make sure to tune into the next episode on Wednesday, October 28, at 9:30PM EST on Disney XD.

Federal prosecutors are opposing a tech-savvy journalist's bid to stay out of prison while he appeals his convictions on computer hacking charges.
Without relief from a federal judge or a higher court, former Reuters social media editor Matthew Keys could have to begin serving a two-year prison term as soon as Wednesday.
Keys' defense team asked U.S. District Court Judge Kimberly Mueller to allow Keys to remain free during his appeal, but in a filing Tuesday, prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney's Office in Sacramento said there is no valid basis to hold off Keys' prison sentence.
Prosecutors said Keys poses an "economic" threat because he sent harassing emails to viewers of a Fox TV affiliate where he once worked and provided hackers with login credentials for the Tribune Company's content management system.
"Keys cannot possibly carry his burden to prove by clear and convincing evidence that he poses no economic danger to the community," the prosecution wrote. "Since his conviction, moreover, defendant has repeatedly refused to accept responsibility for his actions and in fact has expressed contempt for the jury's verdict."
Prosecutors also dispute the legal basis for Keys' appeal, which they said lacks substance.
Mueller is expected to rule soon on Keys' stay request.
Last week, the judge ordered Keys to pay $249,956 in restitution for the hacking, which resulted in a brief defacement of an article on the Los Angeles Times website. The sum includes about $50,000 in costs related to the changes to the LA Times story and $200,000 to rebuild a viewer database at the Tribune-owned Fox affiliate.

After the paint technique was done above the crib, I realized I needed a second focal point. I wanted something fun over my daughter's bed. Something that was similar to the artwork yet had a look all it's own.
I came up with a cherry blossom tree limb idea and this is how it came about.
The corner where my daughter's bed fit had the cool antique window suspended as a shelf. I hung this window to be able to put things that are important to my daughter but, not have them easily accessible. A memorabilia shelf -per say.
I started by buying vinyl by the foot at a local craft store ($1.99 a foot before my coupon, yeah for 50% off coupons!!). I bought four feet of dark brown for the cherry tree limb. I really didn't need all of it, I have about a foot of brown vinyl left over. I just started sculpting and cutting. I added limbs as needed until it looked right.
Just enough tree...now ready for some pretty pink flowers.
There was no rhyme or reason to how I sculpted the tree. Just kept going until it looked right.
I took the pink vinyl (I only bought 2 feet thinking that would be ample and ended up going back for 2 more feet). I traced a flower and then cut each one out by hand. I wanted them to be similar yet not identical so they would look realistic
This is them cut out with the backing showing.
Tree ready for flowers.
I love it when my daughter wants to help with my projects. She loves that her room is getting done to bring a sister home to and is super helpful!! I would peel off the back and then she would decide where it went! You did a great job, little one!!
I finished with the 2 feet of vinyl cut into flowers and realized..I hadn't bought nearly enough. So, back to the store to buy 2 more feet of vinyl.
I love it with all the flowers!! It makes a statement above my daughter's bed and gives a focal point on this side of the room. The only thing I want to add is my daughter's name in vinyl just below the limb above her headboard. I will probably wait until the baby is born to get the vinyls done and her name is chosen so I can get both girls names custom done and to put them by their beds.
I threw my daughter's pink parasol up on the shelf to show you the kind of fun stuff that can go on the shelf.
I love how it flows below the shelf and yet sneaks above it in one corner. It makes it SO fun!
I love how the cherry tree limb pops off the fun paints!!
The cherry blossoms draws attention to the fun pink bed of my daughters just as much as the special paint treatment does over the crib.
It turned out beautiful!!

Today, the California Supreme Court (each member of which had been appointed by a Republican Governor) unanimously turned down the County of Orange's appeal on a lawsuit regarding the Deputy Sheriff Pension Issue. COUNTY OF ORANGE v. ASSOCIATION OF ORANGE COUNTY DEPUTY SHERIFFS et al., Case #S191218
I know that a lot of the blog readers who browse this page consider public employees greedy and their unions to be an extension of that greed. In this case, the County has been working diligently for the past three years to strip retired police officers of 1/3 of their pensions. They worked, they retired, in some cases many years prior. In some cases the officers since died and their widows/widowers are living on a fraction of that pension. The County, which negotiated the pension amounts years before, felt as if the Deputies received a better deal in the negotiation than they should have been entitled to. So, 10+ years later they want to strip it from them.
The case brought by the County of Orange had been unanimously tossed out of trial, and appellate courts has now been decided by the Supreme Court and the only court that the County can appeal it to now it the US Supreme Court. The third unanimous decision against the County ends the $2.5 million dollar campaign made by (whacko bomb thrower) County Supervisor John Moorlach and his legal advisors. This vindictive campaign may end up costing the taxpayers of Orange County over $5 million.
Before the County of Orange filed their controversial and frivolous lawsuit in February 2008, three different outside law firms they had hired for legal counsel, warned them they could not win such a case. They were thrown out of Superior Court twice in 2009 without even a trial and unanimously thrown out of Appellate Court on a 3 – 0 vote this last January.
All six of the State Supreme Court justices (there is presently one vacancy) ruled unanimously. They had 90 days to decide whether to take the case up and formally review the Appellate Court's decision. They came to a quick, unanimous decision in only 6 working days.
"The Deputy Sheriffs Association now plans to file in court for complete payment of our four years worth of attorneys fees for this frivolous, mean spirited lawsuit. By the time everything is over, the vindictive political judgment of John Moorlach and Mario Mainero will have cost the County a tremendous amount of time and money. It is both sad and unfortunate -- and a textbook example of abuse of our legal system."
Everyone negotiates for pay and benefits. Taking on the retired for what retroactively looks as if it was too good for the workers is not right in any context. The Deputy Sheriffs didn't steal anything or take advantage of anything. They gave up pay in lieu of pension benefits and the County went along with it. Some conservative Republicans, eager to find a scape goat and I'm not going to officially name names (Chuck), find the current wave of public resentment toward the retired is a good place to jump on the band wagon. Unfortunately, the appellate court (three Republicans sit on that court) and the supreme court (six Republicans sit on that court) didn't agree.

The last 1998 S.T.A.R. force vehicle to be reviewed. And another hard to find item...
This was another vehicle that has had a "new millenium" counterpart with Light&Sound action and fluorescent "glow in the dark" paintings. Fortunately, this is the 1998 original mold model.
Included accessories.
Figures: S.T.A.R. Force astronaut team members "5" and "9". We´ll have a better look at these later.
The 6-wheeled tracker vehicle was direct adaptation of the 1996 The Corps! military line.
With the new and fresh S.T.A.R. force color look, it actually was refreshing. The original 1996 model (Field Tracker) paint scheme seemed to be a little bit too heavy, mud-looking. Those hooks on the bars (bottom left) seem to be there for some purpose. I didn´t figure it out yet.
Action shots.
Status: Unavailable.
Thank you to all visitors and friends who took a little of their time to show me I need to bring this blog back to life. I´m amazed by your love so I´m working to bring it back next January/2018. I´ll see you guys soon!

Lanard often changed not only STAR force sets but all of their "THE CORPS!". It was fairly common to see the widest array of figures and accessories (like the bikes you refer) mixed up. Try to explore our "The Corps" labeled sets and you´ll probably see those bikes in military colors.ReplyDelete

>Just now I've released the 3.0-alpha2 version of my XINS branch, at:
Main feature is that Logdoc has been factored out into its own project, of which I've released version 0.1:
Logdoc is used to specify log mesages separate from code, generating both Log4J code and web documentation.
Possibly Logdoc can be extended to support code generation to other environments, including Apache Commons Logging, Log4PHP, Log4C, etc.
Another change made to XINS is that all source code is now under src/java making it much easier to work on XINS from an IDE.
So most of the previously presented random ideas have been implemented already…

The New Chapter OS: Why We Opted In
YNPN Birmingham is pumped to be one of the seven pilot chapters for the new national operating system. Just as YNPN National was announcing that a new chapter OS would be coming soon, YNPN Birmingham was struggling with questions of legal status, a bank account, accounting software, and a membership program. Is it better to file locally as a nonprofit or as a LLC? What are the requirements for the bank account? How are we going to be responsible financially? How do we start a membership program without funds but how do we get funds without paying members?
And like a gift from the heavens, we heard about the opportunity to become a pilot chapter. As a newer chapter, we knew that we were willing to be the guinea pig for what the experience would be like for new chapters with a clean slate to start the system. Although we realized we would be adding work to our already ambitious agenda, we knew would be receiving technical assistance and a much needed boost to our capacity with little startup costs—a great relief to our non-existent budget.
We were confident we could manage being a pilot chapter given the background of our leadership with different database systems and our variety of expertise. For example, the chair of our Membership Committee is the database manager for her organization that functions as a local chapter of a large national organization. Other board members include a communications expert, an accountant, and individuals with a strong framework for governance that would help us manage building and launching the OS while pursuing our legal status and hosting events for our members.
We won't lie about the fact that sometimes we think we are in over our heads. But, we are truly excited for all the possibilities that the new chapter OS will bring to YNPN Birmingham, our members, and community. As we move through the project we look forward to hearing shared ideas from established chapters, while giving a fresh perspective from our 'newbie' knowledge.
Announcing the Chapter OS Pilot Chapters: Here's to the early adopters!
These days we've become used to being part of experiments, even if we don't realize it. Every day software developers release the minimum viable version of their apps, put it out into the marketplace, and most of us are willing to at least try it out.
Trying out a new app is one thing. We pause, though, when we get that notice to upgrade our entire operating system–that little push notification that casually tells you to check your storage, download this new system, install it, then restart your computer. The developer is sending you this notification because they've made improvements to the system that, based on your previous feedback, they know will make your software run better. But what if the upgrade creates an annoyance like changing the way that you interact with a program that you've gotten used to? Or worse, what if it crashes your computer?!
Most of us say, no thanks, we'll wait till version 18.104.22.168 when they've worked most of the bugs out. (I'll admit it, I tend to be a version 188.8.131.52 kinda gal myself.) Which is why I have such incredible respect for the early adopters, the folks who get that push notification and immediately prepare for download.
We know that, in many ways, the Chapter OS feels like asking the network to download a new system. Last year as we prepared for a major upgrade to our network's operating system, we sent out a call for chapters who were willing to sign up for that experiment, test the system, and make it better. During this pilot phase we'll be working any bugs out of the system so that we can bring you the best possible product when the time comes for the rest of the network to join us.
The pilot phase is designed to help us figure out what national supports and resources are necessary to get chapters to the basic level of infrastructure necessary for higher level strategy and programming. What does that look like initially?
Specifically, we're looking for all chapters to:
- Be on the NationBuilder platform
- Have a defined membership program (paid or unpaid)
- Be recognized as a legal entity in their state (if they are not already) and be able to process financial transactions
- Have D&O insurance
- Have a clear sense of chapter strengths and immediate strategic priorities for growth
Almost a quarter of the chapters across our network applied to serve as our modern-day scouts, volunteering to go out ahead and discover the bugs and the cool features of the system for the rest of us. It was difficult to narrow the list to just 7 chapters but we focused on creating a group that would best position us to begin the full network onboarding in June. So we compiled a group that demonstrated these two core characteristics:
1. The diversity of the network: We have chapters across our network that range from 250 members to over 10,000 members, chapters in dense urban areas and chapters in smaller cities and towns. We have chapters with almost two decades of established infrastructure, and chapters that are less than six months old. This diversity is what fuels the vitality of our network and we looked for a group that would help us develop supports that would meet the needs of our vast array of chapters at different stages of development.
2. The ability to serve as a critical friend: Of course we were eager to work with chapters who see the great potential of the Chapter OS, but nobody wins when they spend all their time with that friend who tells you "You look great in that outfit!" when you actually look jank. We sought out chapters who were enthusiastic about the possibilities and were willing to challenge us about the parts of the OS that simply would not work for them.
It's an impressive group that we've assembled. You can read more below about who they are and why we chose them. You can also follow along with their journey (really, our entire network's journey!) via the twice monthly blogs they'll be posting here on the Leaders' Site and via the Program Xchange they'll be hosting in a few months. Our pilot chapters will also be faciltiating a conference session in Little Rock to talk about their experience with all of you and share what they've learned.
Our sincere thanks to all who applied to serve as pilots and our congratulations to the intrepid chapters selected to blaze the trail. Our network will be the better for it.
Meet the Pilots
Those of you who were at the 2014 conference got to experience first-hand the awesome execution abilities of YNPN Twin Cities. With their inventive programming, YNPN-TC is engaging their community in new and exciting ways and they see NationBuilder as a tool that can help them do that with even more ease and sophistication. YNPN-TC currently utilizes a member database and they'll be helping us test how chapters on existing databases can easily make the transition to NationBuilder, as well as how we can make NationBuilder even more useful for chapters. We can always count on YNPN-TC to share knowledge and provide thoughtful feedback and we're excited to have them as a partner.
In less than four years, YNPN Atlanta has launched a successful paid membership program, obtained their 501(c)(3), and put in place systems that have allowed them to become a lean, mean, professional development machine. Now they want to know how they can use data to more effectively direct their resources and measure their impact. In addition to growing their membership program, they also want to use NationBuilder to improve engagement and increase retention as their chapter continues to grow.
Founded in 2014, YNPN Birmingham is our youngest pilot chapter. As a younger chapter, being able to attract members and cultivate relationships is a key growth area and they're looking forward to exploring how the Chapter Operating System and NationBuilder can support that work. During the pilot, YNPN Birmingham and National will work together to help their chapter accomplish other goals like obtaining their legal status, opening a bank account, and developing a membership program.
With more than 3,000 people on their mailing list, YNPN San Diego has a huge reach in their community. To capitalize on that reach, they've been working on growing their paid membership program and increasing giving among members and supporters. Right now their data lives in three different systems provided by their fiscal sponsor and they believe that consolidating on NationBuilder will help them use their data more effectively to accomplish their engagement and revenue goals. YNPN San Diego is also looking forward to helping build National's support resources and engaging with other chapters in the network to share knowledge.
It's hard to believe that YNPN Portland was only founded two years ago. In that short period of time they have been able to develop outstanding programming as well as partnerships that help them connect with other diverse groups in their city. YNPN Portland recently went through their first big board turnover and is eager to learn how the Chapter Operating System can help them develop systems, infrastructure, and strategy that can be effective through the years. Membership and revenue generation are growth areas for YNPN Portland that they're excited to explore during the pilot process.
YNPN OKC is another young chapter that's been able to accomplish a great deal in a short amount of time. This year they launched a successful paid membership program and are excited to use NationBuilder to manage membership and track members' interests and needs. They're also eager to help us test how NationBuilder and the Chapter Operating System can be an effective marketing tool that will help them grow membership, increase retention, and cultivate members for increased involvement and board service. YNPN OKC is also bringing a deep bench of data-driven board members to the pilot process.
As our host chapter for this year's conference, YNPN Little Rock is excited to utilize NationBuilder to help make #ynpn15 amazing. Hosting the national conference is a great way to galvanize the local community and YNPN Little Rock is looking forward to using NationBuilder to track and stay in touch with local participants and members. With projects like their Arkansas Voice survey, YNPN LR has also had a longstanding interest in using data to identify community needs and contribute to sector knowledge in their state. Because of the leadership roles they've taken on in the network this year, YNPN Little Rock is a great chapter to help us test the Chapter OS and NationBuilder from a variety of angles.
Keep following this blog for more updates on the Chapter OS from National and these pilot chapters!
Why we signed on as a Chapter OS pilot, and why we're glad we did
As a YNPN chapter looking forward to its 3rd birthday, YNPN Portland was enthusiastic about the Chapter Operating System process.
A new website? A DATABASE? Did someone say DATABASE? Someone to coach us through setting goals around membership and deciding on our legal status (to c3, to not c3)? AMAZING, sign us up.
I don't know about other chapters, but YNPN Portland tends to attract people who want to do things well, and that's been great, but it also means we can drag our feet. Should we? Shouldn't we? What is the best way? The Chapter OS process has provided us deadlines and just the right amount of pressure to make key decisions and move forward.
Along with the tangible products and services that connect us to YNPN National and other chapters, we've discovered serious benefits to aligning our chapter with other aspects of the National movement. We are looking to the Five Pillars of Leadership Development to guide our programming decisions, and are excited that future standards for chapters will include a focus on equity, diversity and inclusion, because this is a priority for our chapter.
Whether it's a database and website, or pillars, we are constantly finding new and exciting benefits to being part of this national Network. It lends credibility to our organization when we are working with other organizations in Portland.
Knowing how hard our Board and Committee members work to make YNPN Portland amazing is really remarkable, but it is absolutely astounding when you think of the same thing happening in more than 30 communities across the country. That is really, really powerful, and in a time when it feels like time-tested grassroots movements are hard to come by, it is an honor to be a part of one with a long history and bright future.
Kate Elliott is the Board Chair of YNPN Portland. You can read more about Kate on the YNPN Portland site.
State of the Network & the Chapter Operating System
One of the centerpieces of each National Conference is the State of the Network talk with our National Director Trish Tchume. Next month Trish will be holding the session a second time to allow those who were unable to attend at the conference a chance to participate.
Through an interactive activity, Trish will connect the stories of individual chapter leaders to the key highlights and accomplishments of the past year before laying out what's next for YNPN.
Part of what's next for YNPN is our Chapter Operating System Project. You can read our first blog post on the project here. After the interactive activity, Trish will be providing an update on the status of the Chapter OS Project and answering questions.
Join us September 9 at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT to talk about where YNPN has been and where we're headed. Register for the call here.
Upgrading the Chapter Operating System
As you may know, YNPN's vision is to create stronger communities propelled by a network of inspired and engaged leaders. Strong, vibrant chapters are essential to making this vision a reality and we are truly fortunate to have amazing leaders doing amazing things across the country.
Our network has been asking for resources and operational support from National to develop and maintain a chapter-led network infrastructure that increases our impact, efficacy and sustainability. National has finally reached the capacity to figure out how we can support your chapters to do even more amazing things.
To figure out what tools and and resources would be most helpful to your chapters, we're launching the Chapter Operating System Project. We call it the Chapter Operating System because, like the OS for your phone or computer, the YNPN operating system is critical infrastructure that will help us manage our resources and operate at peak efficiency. It will also be updated over time to keep up with our network's growth and technological change.
What will the project look like? How will it benefit chapters?
With this project, we want to answer questions like:
- What support, resources, and infrastructure are most useful to chapters at various stages of their development? How can we best support the growth and development of our chapters and their leaders?
- Which tools and resources do local chapters have difficulty accessing on their own? Where can National offer or broker access to resources?
- How can we create stronger chapter affiliations across the network?
- How can membership serve as a chapter-level revenue tool and strengthen a broader sense of affiliation across the network?
- How do we structure services and infrastructure so that the network and local chapters have the necessary resources to execute on the priorities we establish and work toward our vision?
The project includes research on how other national networks structure their services and supports, including how their operating models are structured. This research, paired with years of chapter-level information from our Virtual Road Trips, Chapter Congress, and Theory of Change process give us a sense of our strengths, weaknesses, and what makes YNPN… YNPN.
That information will be combined with timely feedback from you to produce a detailed model that speaks to the network's priorities through a set of suggested benefits and services. Accompanying this model will be possible affiliation structures that both meet local needs and strengthen the capacity of the network. Every chapter will have an opportunity provide comments on their priorities and provide suggestions on what services and supports they find useful for their chapter.
Chapters have been asking for help with building infrastructure for many years, and we're excited that we have the resources and capacity to explore this with you. The Chapter Operating System will enable chapters to build their own infrastructure while strengthening the network's ability to respond to the needs of our chapters and members.
Who's leading the project?
We have enlisted two consultants who have a long history with YNPN, know the network culture, and are committed to our mission and vision. You can read their full bios at the end of this post, but you may already know Carlyn Madden and Caroline Bolas from seeing them at past national conferences or engaging with them as a startup chapter or fellow chapter leader.
We're very lucky to have two whip-smart ladies with a wealth of institutional knowledge heading up this project. We'll talk next steps in a moment, but know that you can always reach Caroline and Carlyn at firstname.lastname@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com.
Where are we now? And what's next?
At the National Conference last month, Caroline and Carlyn walked the session's attendees through a discussion of services and supports and gathered feedback on what they may find valuable and what revenue they may need to execute valuable programs.
We would like to extend the opportunity to all our chapters to provide their input in this process. Next week we'll be reaching out to your chapter through your Chapter Congress representative and asking you to help us prioritize which benefits and services would be most valuable to your chapter.
Our chapters' priorities will be compiled and compared with the resources that National already has or would need to gain/build/increase. This project will also be closely coordinated with the Database Project as part of a comprehensive suite of resources and network infrastructure.
This is not a short-term project, and it won't be completed overnight. We will be having multiple conversations about the best way to test an effective business model that gives the chapters the autonomy they need to serve the interests of their members, while continuing to build the capacity of National as a platform for our amazing network of young professionals. Once we've established those models, we'll work with an entrepreneurial pilot group of chapters to help us work out the bugs of the operating system.
To stay up to date on the project, keep watching the chapter leader newsletter and the chapter leader blog.
We can't wait to work with you on building an operating system that will take YNPN to the next level!

Linklaters advises on landmark transaction in the Nigerian gas to power sectorLinklaters has advised Accugas Limited ("Accugas"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Seven Energy International Limited a leading integrated gas company in Nigeria, on a long term gas sales agreement (the "GSA"), and an accompanying World Bank group credit support package, for the supply of gas to Calabar Generation Company ("Calabar"), one of Nigeria's National Integrated Power Projects.
The GSA is supported by a USD 112m World Bank Partial Risk Guarantee (the "PRG"), the first of its kind for gas supply in Nigeria. The PRG, which is backed by the Federal Government of Nigeria, will secure the supply of 131 million cubic feet per day of natural gas to Calabar to support the generation of up to 561MW of electricity to the national grid – 15 per cent of Nigeria's current power generation.
Andrew Jones, partner and head of Linklaters' Africa Group, said:
"Partial Risk Guarantees and other innovative credit enhancement products are essential catalysts for unlocking the huge potential for energy and infrastructure projects in Nigeria and elsewhere in Sub-Saharan Africa. We are delighted to have helped Accugas implement this innovative arrangement."
The Linklaters team was led by Finance and Projects partner Andrew Jones and managing associate Matthew Daffurn in London. They were assisted by associate Kwaku Osei.

As per the leaked video of Reliance Jio website, a JioFi Combo plan would offer 90 days validity with 75GB of 4G data, whereas the HD Voice Combo plan would offer the same 90 days validity, 75GB worth 4G data, 9,000 SMS and 4,500 minutes worth talktime. However, the video doesn't reveal the pricing of these plans.
Reliance Jio could offer unbundled connections without forcing the users to buy its devices. However, there is no guarantee that the link will be there when the website is thrown open to users as part of the soft launch.
The screenshots in the video reveals a dedicated section to buy internet devices such as routers, VoLTE, Mi-Fi devices, and Reliance LYF smartphones.
The video also shows a dedicated section on Reliance Jio's applications for the iOS and Android platforms such as JioPlay, Jio-on-Demand, JioBeats, JioMags, JioNews, JioDrive, etc.
Earlier media reports said that Jio will offer Mi-Fi plans, priced between Rs 700 and Rs 800 with 40GB of data for a validity of three months. The reports also mentioned that Reliance Jio will offer an array of data packs ranging between 40GB and 200GB with at least three months of validity. Besides, Jio has already started shipping 4G SIMs and Wi-Fi dongles to Reliance Digital stores.

In any case, sure, optimizing pay discrepancies among the top 1% should have a place in the left's agenda (perhaps we should talk about it ~1% of the time). But how would we go about doing this? Ryan Cooper has directed me to a piece by Jessica Valenti where she floats a solid, constructive proposal:
But what if the boldest solution for the wage gap isn't about raising women's salaries at all? What if we paid men less?By any leftist analysis, this is a fantastic idea: it satisfies the socialist imperative of reducing net inequality while addressing identitarian concerns over gender discrepancies.
The only problem, as Valenti acknowledges, is that this approach happens to be illegal, since you can't lower wages for men just to combat pay discrimination. One solution here would be to simply legalize it; in general, affirmative measures to directly legislate gender inequality out of existence can be extremely productive, as I noted in my recent article about getting women on the ballot.
But here is an alternative, which I think deserves some reflection among the identitarian left. If we care about material inequality, and not simply symbolic milestones, you can also reduce it (in absolute terms) with salary cuts across the board. Cut the median compensation for all bank CEOs in half, and women are still making only about 77% what men make - but instead of making $147k less, they're only making $74k less. And on top of that, you suddenly have $573k to redistribute to the working class, in any way you like.
Unlike Valenti's proposal, this approach is completely legal. And it narrows the absolute pay gap while providing even more funds for redistribution than you would have if you only lowered men's pay the same amount. But it makes no symbolic progress in terms of reducing percentages, and it asks us to acknowledge that even women can have privilege that needs to be torn down. Of course, the approach I just outlined is really just the classic socialist project of redistribution. Is there a coherent argument against it?

A LEADING recreational vehicle lobby group has voiced frustration at delays in moving forward with council proposals to establish freedom camping and free waste-disposal dumping points for caravans, campervans and motorhomes.
File image
Earlier this month, Ballarat councillors voted to defer the two contentious items due to the city's request to seek legal assistance on the matters.
The legal assistance was sparked by an urgent letter submitted to the council by Victorian Caravan Parks Association chief executive officer Elizabeth White on the advice of her legal advisor, outliningthe concerns of the association.
But Campervan and Motorhome Club of Australia board director Keith Moxham criticised the late submission of the Victorian Caravan Parks Association and said it had undermined a submission by CMCA, which had taken more than two years to create.
"CMCA and the City of Ballarat have been working together to make Ballarat recreational-vehicle friendly and boost the city's tourism industry for a number of years," Mr Moxham said.
"The Victorian Caravan Parks Association was free to raise any legal issues regarding Pioneer Park at any time during that process, but decided to do this only at the last minute."
Mr Moxham said in the past 10 years there had been a significant increase in the number of travellers in self-sufficient RVs with bathroom and toilet facilities preferring to access community-operated low-cost camps.
The CMCA is advocating for freedom camping at Pioneer Park along with a 12-month trial where existing caravan park operators allow visitors to dispose of their waste at their parks.
Mr Moxham said it would deliver economic and social benefits to the city.
But Ms White denied the letter was a blocking tactic and that it had not been the intention of the association to cause any delay.
She said the association had been in discussions with the council on the dump point facilities for more than 18 months but had been unaware of the freedom camping proposal until the end of May.
"At that time, the council was developing a report on freedom camping, which was not complete until July," Ms White said.
"I awaited the completion of the council report to see what it entailed. Following that, I went to get further legal advice on the matter and the approval of caravan park owners before putting forward my submission."
City of Ballarat's acting chief executive officer Natalie Reiter said reports on freedom camping and dump point voucher trials were prepared for council consideration at last week's meeting but both reports had been adjourned.
Ms Reiter said further advice was being sought on both items and they would be considered
again by the council in the coming weeks.
