The latest exhilarating Launch 48 Weekend took place at the University of Edinburgh Business School this past weekend.
The Launch48 Weekend introduced talented and diverse mentors to 4 teams, formed from 90 participants. These mentors brought a wealth of experience in business and software development to each team and they individually worked tirelessly to form internet start-up businesses in just 48 hours.
We are proud to present to you the four unique start-ups created from our weekend:
Compare The Universities
CompareTheUniversities.com allows prospective students to fully investigate their options for attending universities by aggregating information about each university, programme of study, and associated tuition fees. By inputting their qualifications, skills and interests, users are provided with potential prospects for further education.
For those who love to run and travel this is a one stop site. Arrive in a new city and keen for safe routes to go running? Look no further. The run2see mobile app harnesses the inbuilt GPS in smartphones to provide users with the safest running routes nearby. Along the way, the app will narrate a guided tour giving the listener interesting information about historical landmarks and sites of local significance.
Social Catalogue
Find products and services in your local area, compare prices, and read reviews from other users. The team made a bold statement that they are looking to change the culture and process behind purchasing decisions. They believe that accessibility and availability to information will assist the provision and recommendation of goods and services.
Choose a date and time to have information delivered in the form of a phone call, which in turn acts as an alarm clock service. Consider being called by a hotel receptionist with a morning wake up call, but then that person also provided you with a quick update on local weather and traffic reports, the news headlines, and perhaps even the number of unread emails you have.

Miami's Ten Under $10 Weekend Party Guide
Charlie Megira. With the Gun Hoes, Rick Guerre, DJs Mikey, and Benton. Presented by Death to the Sun. Friday, June 26, 10 p.m. Gramps, 176 NW 24th St., Miami; 305-699-2669; gramps.com. Admission costs $5.
If you want to book an obscure act from out of the country here in South Florida like, say, Tel Aviv's own Charlie Megira, look no further than Ricardo Guerrero, mastermind of the annual Death to the Sun fest here in the 305. He's been cutting his teeth on the underground music scene for years, first as This Heart Electric, a solo project that bloomed into a full-fledged band. "Death to the Sun took last year off, but this year is the five-year anniversary, and it will be happening at the North Shore Bandshell, which is a great venue," he tells us as videos of Megira, Guerrero's latest booking, chime coolly in the background. Megira, who's on Oakland label Guitars and Bongos' roster, is a great entry to the tastemaker's booking oeuvre, as the Israeli native's 60s-leaning surf revivalism slots in neatly next to Guerrero's own projects and bits of the Miami scene at large.
Guerrero's excited to bring the act to South Florida for the first time, and he's filled up the bill at Shirley's (in the back room of Wynwood hot spot Gramps) with known party-starters The Gun Hoes and Guerrero's own project, which now simply goes by Rick Guerre, but has retained personnel (like avant-pop spectacle Dino Felipe) from his This Heart Electric days. Together, the talents are a force to be reckoned with, and will be rocking the hearts and ears of Gramps attendees tomorrow evening.

I wasn't too surprised with the responses, because they mirrored my own, but there were a couple cities or countries in there that did leave me wondering. Being from the city of Chicago is really a great way to eat your way around the world, if you will, because the international community that has settled here brought their authentic cuisine with them.
I noticed right away that my favorite cities, Chicago, Madrid, Mexico City and Barcelona, were at the top of the food city list. I keep saying that I am going to return to Spain and eat my way through every city because when I have been there, I was living on extreme budgets and don't feel like I got the chance to really enjoy the cuisine as much as I could. Seriously, I put those Europe on $100 a day guidebooks to shame-- and I had my own apartment and was paying for tuition.
Living in Chicago, I think I have had more chance to sample many dishes from Spanish chefs that I never got to while living in Spain. And even though I have had several excellent dishes of paella here in Chicago, I don't believe I have yet tried the absolute best.
But, I do need some help finding more of the best, and I often start at places where friends recommend, so help me out, Chicago!!
- I need to find the best Turkish restaurant in Chicago, because my old favorite closed a couple years ago and it has been a while.
- Then, a Danish friend living in Canada is always talking about Serbian food, and since I have never tried any, I must
- I love, love, love Asian cuisine, but a Chinatown favorite has been seriously disappointing so I need a new spot there. Also, Thai, my Thai spot closed and I have been hopping ever since.
Number 3 on the list is Paris-- Hello! Who wouldn't want to go to Paris to eat? The twins and I have been gathering information on little pastry shops in Paris we want to visit, and then this week we saw the piece in Frommer's Budget Travel recommending the same thing!
Bangkok was number one, of course, followed by Rome-- another city I ate my way through on a budget. And I think I should mention here that eating your way through a city on a budget does not have to be a bad thing if you know where and how to spend your money.
So, if money were no option, and you could travel anywhere, where would you travel to for food?

Bacon Bits Recalled for Listeria Bacon bits are the latest food product to be recalled for listeria contamination. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) just announced that two Patrick Cudahy bacon bit products are being recalled for possible contamination with the listeria monocytogenes bacteria, a dangerous, sometimes deadly, foodborne contaminant.
Patrick Cudahy is recalling two different versions of its 10-pound cases of Applewood Smoked Precooked Bacon toppings: Golden Crisp and John Morrell. The Applewood Smoked Precooked Bacon topping products bear the establishment number "EST. 28" within the USDA inspection mark and a printed Julian date of "8318." The Applewood Smoked Precooked Bacon bit products were produced on November 13, 2008, and distributed to restaurant and institutional establishments in California, Colorado, Florida, South Dakota, Texas, and Wisconsin. The listeria monocytogenes contamination was discovered through in-house testing by an establishment that received the product.
The listeria bacterium is found in soil, vegetation, raw milk, meat, poultry, cheeses (particularly soft mold-ripened varieties), and salad vegetables. About 2,500 cases of listeria occur in the United States annually with about 200 in every 1000 cases resulting in death. Listeria monocytogenes can grow at low temperatures, even in refrigerated environments; thorough cooking of food and milk pasteurization can destroy the Listeria bacteria. Listeria often invades the body through a normal and intact gastrointestinal tract and, once in the body, can travel through the blood stream.
Listeriosis Symptoms Can Develop In Days Or Weeks
Listeriosis—the illness caused by the listeria bacteria—symptoms can develop in days or weeks and can vary from a mild flu-like illness to meningitis and septicemia; pregnant women can experience anything from miscarriage, still birth, or birth of an infected child. Pregnant women are about 20 times likelier than others to be infected, with about one-third of listeriosis cases occurring during pregnancy; the incidence of listeriosis in newborns is 8.6 per 100,000 live births and the perinatal and neonatal mortality rate (stillbirths and early infant deaths) is 80 percent. Those with compromised immune systems—such as people undergoing chemotherapy treatment or those diagnosed with HIV/AIDs and hepatitis—the very young, and the very old are also at risk.
To help prevent listeria contamination, consumers are generally advised to thoroughly cook raw food from animal sources; keep uncooked meats separate from vegetables and from cooked and ready-to-eat foods; avoid unpasteurized (raw) milk or foods made from unpasteurized milk; wash hands, knives, and cutting boards after handling uncooked foods; wash raw vegetables thoroughly before eating; and consume perishable and ready-to-eat foods as soon as possible and within their expiration dates.
Patrick Cudahy company Director of Customer Service Mike Reitz can be reached at (414) 744-2000. "Ask Karen" is the FSIS virtual representative, which is available 24 hours a day at AskKaren.gov. for food safety questions. The toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) is available in English and Spanish from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) Monday through Friday; recorded food safety messages are available 24 hours a day.

Attorney: Zimmerman's bond request delayed
Source: CNN
(CNN) -- Although George Zimmerman's lawyers plan to file a motion asking for a new bond hearing for the murder suspect, the filing has been delayed, defense attorneys said Tuesday.
"Mr. Zimmerman's legal defense team has decided to delay filing a motion for bond," the defense team said Tuesday on its website, GZLegalcase.com. "A hearing will not be scheduled for a couple of weeks, and we will file a motion well in advance of the hearing."
The filing was delayed for several reasons, lead defense attorney Mark O'Mara told CNN, but he did not elaborate.
The 28-year-old Florida man accused in the death of Trayvon Martin had been free on bond for weeks until Sunday afternoon, when he turned himself in to authorities in Seminole County, Florida. The judge had ordered him back after questioning statements made in the first bond hearing.

3. O'Mara took a hit, no doubt about it
I don't believe O'Mara knew Zimmerman and his wife were lying, but here's the current spin:
Attorney: George Zimmerman was confused, fearful
By MIKE SCHNEIDER, Associated Press 19 hours ago
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) The former neighborhood watch leader charged with fatally shooting Trayvon Martin was confused and fearful when he and his wife misled court officials about their finances during an April bond hearing that allowed him to be released from jail, his attorney said Monday.
That doesn't necessarily mean O'Mara is still dialed in...it just means that he's attributing the lie to something other than his direct participation and involvement. He's put a fence around Zimmerman and his wife and has carefully stepped outside of that fence.

O'Mara should have kicked them to the curb instead of risking his own future by claiming he "forgot" that he'd been given the extra passport a month ago: http://www.scribd.com/doc/95593851/State-v-Zimmerman-Motion-to-revoke-bond

10. It's a weak-assed "excuse," and it makes me wonder what O'Mara is up to
He DEFINITELY is placing his own ass on the line. Yes, he was hired to defend Zimmerman. Yes, attorneys defend two kinds of people...those who are guilty and those who are innocent. That's our legal system. But Zimmerman is bad fucking news, and unless O'Mara has a "smoking gun" (no pun / irony intended) that's going to exonerate Zimmerman...BEYOND any "stand your ground" considerations...if Zimmerman goes down, he'll take O'Mara's career with him.

really difficult to kick a client to the curb, because it will have a prejudical effect on the client.
Judges are reticient to allow you out ... Even if the client is lying to you. Rather, the judge says, "Get your client under control."

13. He's still defending him with the picture he's painting. Poor, pitiful. Pitiful, yes. Poor, no.
From the 'coded' conversation, he and his wife weren't afraid of lying to the court, just dumb enough to think no one was listening. O'Mara will do all he can to paint Z as the victim.
If he'd been black, he'd be charged with a crime for hiding the funds now. He only had his bail revoked. He'll be safe in the jail, as a high profile case.
But once again, he returned from out of state. I've never known of anyone allowed to leave the state they're charged in. So he's being treated with kid gloves all the way.

49. Kid gloves is exactly right. Why is this?
What exactly is causing GZ to be handled this way? Why is he being given so much leeway?
Nothing I've read has provided a good reason. He isn't someone of any accomplishment, and instead is a repeat violent offender. If anyone would deserve to have the book thrown at him, its GZ.
His father appears to be a person of moderate influence, but not someone who could swing all these breaks.
I guess the only answer is that the judicial system is subtly rewarding Georgie Porgie for killing a black child. Nothing else really makes sense.

50. I would hope that he is not being rewarded in any way. But the dead are unable to state their case.
We only have his claims and the opinions of others to say what happened. We have logic, the main thing being he should not and did not indicate he 'felt threatened' while inside his vehicle. His actions were not that of a person afraid, until likely the last moment. He precipitated this.
We have a problem with unspoken racism in this country; but more than that, we have a problem with money. Minorities have been kept poor by the acts perpetrated upon them, and regardless of the race of the people in control, their crime now is being perceived to be poor and shiftless, as if their skin color is a marker for poverty.
How many blacks have been harassed while driving, who owned their cars but were treated as if they were car thieves; how many have been stopped in neighborhoods because others assume they are unable to buy property?
Would Z have felt entitled to go after a white man (who by default with some people) was a rightful visitor in that area? Or someone he thought was dressed in a way that in his mind showed affluence?
Z's statements and those who support him, make the assumption that a possible crime was in the offing. Why is it that many feel black males are more likely to be criminals, judging them on a stereotype?
I suggest it is a notion built of the fact that due to economic circumstance, and the difference in charging, there are more blacks in jail. The idea that blacks are more genetically or in some other way more likely to do crimes, is inaccurate and cannot be proven.
It is the economic situation, the lack of being able to get an adequate defense that leads to incarceration. Other races commit crimes, some appear to not be punished, especially if they have the money for a good defense.
I'm not sure that anyone is to blame for this for the most part, other than Z.

18. He might be charging him more, then--based on the dough in the secret stash!
Gee, I read that news report, and all I could think was "I wonder how 'confused and fearful' Trayvon Martin was when he was ambling home with his candy and iced tea, chatting with his girlfriend on the phone, and realized he was being stalked by a creepy and purposeful adult male?"
I don't see how Zimmerman can "repair" his credibility. He's a liar, his wife is a liar, and he will lie to the court, to the federal government, to anyone, in order to gain advantage. I think he fucked himself, frankly! The phrase "Too clever by half" comes to mind! He thought he was smarter than the average bear, but he was no Yogi!

32. I think ...
He's put a fence around Zimmerman and his wife and has carefully stepped outside of that fence.
O'Mara has done more than that ...
O'Mara acknowledged that the phone calls make clear Zimmerman knew a lot of money had been raised by the website. But Zimmerman's judgment was clouded by threats to his safety that required him to stop working and forced Zimmerman and his family to leave their homes, the lawyer said.
"We feel the failure to disclose these funds was caused by fear, mistrust, and confusion," O'Mara said.
So is a judge supposed to think zimmerman is any less fearful, distrusting and/or confused?
This statement pretty much shouts, "My client is a flight risk", and reduces his bond opportunities to near zero, either though out-right denial or a bond set at $1.5 million.

15. Didn't GZ have two previous lawyers who also dumped him?
I have a distinct memory of two lawyers, before O'Mara, standing on the grass talking to reporters, saying they would no longer represent him, but refusing to say why.
Was that my imagination or has it just gone down the memory tubes?
Wonder if it was over some crap like this.

The ones who said Trayvon rattled Zimmerman's brain around in his skull so much that he had to shoot him. Zimmerman dropped out of sight for a few days. The attorneys said "screw this" and walked away.

11. Time to order more Doritos, Jolly Ranchers and beef sticks
He packed on quite a few pounds since being released on bail. Of course, now he's back on jail food and commissary junk food, so maybe he'll actually lose weight. Who knows. He looks like this whole experience is really messing with his head. My guess is that he made the mistake of listening to whoever told him he was going to walk on "stand your ground," and now reality is setting in.

34. I just have no sympathy for Zimmerman and I never will. A dispatcher told him to NOT bother that
kid, to wait for a cruiser--but no, he's smarter than anyone else, he's gonna do what he's gonna do.
Well, what he's gonna do is sit his ass down in jail. In isolation. And it's all his fault that he's in the fix he's in.

12. O'Mara must think he's better off in jail than out of it.
The more freedom Zimmerman has to act, the less credible a character he seems to be. O'Mara doesn't trust his client and wants to win the case.

He got fired from his job as a bouncer for roughing up a woman.
"Nice things for people." That's what George Zimmerman is all about.
And before you object that he was not convicted for any of those things, please be prepared to show me the conviction record for "what Trayvon did to his bus driver one day."

37. He worked under the table as a party bouncer. He beat the shit out of a drunk girl.
He was charged with domestic violence. He got out of a charge of assault on a cop...
Stop trying to paint that sleazeball as a choir boy. Did you get those facts from his father, who admitted that he "misspoke" when he claimed that the voice screaming for help on the tape was George?
I don't really give a shit if Trayvon Martin pooped in his bus driver's lap. He was KID who was coming home from the store with candy and a drink, talking to his girlfriend, who was murdered by a vigilante asshole.
That child did not deserve to die. And this "old vet" thinks your defense of that nitwit Zimmerman is very curious, indeed.
And I'll take sources for your assertions too, thanks much.
See, here's how you do it: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/george-zimmerman-trayvon-martin-killer-had-brushes-prior-153033731.html
A woman accused the man who fatally shot Trayvon Martin of domestic violence, it emerged Wednesday, as a fuller picture of George Zimmerman began to take shape.
In 2005, a woman filed a petition for an injunction against Zimmerman, claiming that he came to her house and became violent when she told him to leave, the Orlando Sentinel reports. Zimmerman, 21 at the time, filed a petition of his own in response.
Just a month before that, the paper reports, Zimmerman was at a bar near the University of Central Florida when a friend was arrested on suspicion of serving minors. Zimmerman became profane and pushed a law enforcement agent who tried to escort him away. He was arrested after a short struggle. That arrest had been reported previously.
In both cases, injunctions have kept the cases' outcomes sealed.
Opposite of what the neighborhood watch volunteers were told, one witness told police Zimmerman was the confrontational type.
I know George, and I know that he does not like black people, one witness told police. He would start something, He's a very confrontational person.
One of Zimmerman's former co-workers called him a bully, so much that the co-worker said employees threw a party when Zimmerman was fired for bogging down the human resources hotline with too many complaints about other employees and management.

53. Thats what I said the day i heard about the pay pal $205k
I said to myself, he's made a fool out of his own lawyer and the judge. You can bet the judge won't keep that egg on his face on June 29th..
Shellie will need her own lawyer if the plan is to throw her under the bus as the Zimmerman who will "come clean" as MOM represents George and what is best for him is not the same as what is best for her. She faces perjury charges.
The other Zimmermans better stay off the stand or plead the fifth. It's a real mess and the judge is not amused, and the prosecution can tear them apart if they get on the stand. I don't foresee any more ankle bracelet chafing problems for george.
The father is the one that fascinates me - did he know about the hidden money and the hidden valid passport or not? He put his house, or at least ten grand lien on it - to the bondsman and forfeited it. Is his son giving him the truth or is his son in the habit of lying to his father, who was a Virginia Magistrate? Is his father helping him push his false narrative about being struck to the ground by TM while on a path to(wards) his car because he knows the what his son told him or because he knows what his son told the cops? Is either story the truth? Seems unnlikely since the body was found between the townhomes and that ain't the path to GZ's truck. All the evidence in the form of scattered objects are on Trayvon;s route home and none of the objects are on GZ's path to his truck.
So is the dad a witting conspirator or an unwitting conspirator? I can't wait til the 29th, and also until GZ's statements and videotaped walk thru are released. GZ's proxies are liars. His story better be a lot different if he wants to claim self defense.
It seems clear that GZ chased TM down the dog walk path.

I mean the point of bail is to insure he shows back up, His other passport was EXPIRED. He told his wife to transfer any donations from the pay pal account to his moms which is changing daily. Other then that he was following all his conditions, Now hes in solidary confinement for not telling the judge he was receiving donations from strangers which was common knowledge at the bail hearing.

22. His other passport was not "expired." Where are you getting this stuff?
He told the feds he lost the passport. They issued a new one. The old one (which would have been "voided" in the system) had all appearances of being "current" to the court--unless they checked with the feds. Which I'm betting they did not do--and which I'm betting they will do as a matter of routine in the future! His wife had the other passport in a safe deposit box and he told her to hang on to it in a coded conversation on the jail phone.
The state maintains that there are two factors contributing to the decision: 1) Zimmerman only turned in one of his two passports, and 2) Zimmerman had accumulated, via online fundraising efforts, more money than he had initially disclosed. The prosecution made sure to point out jailhouse phone conversations between Zimmerman and his wife suggesting that they knew exactly how much money they really had prior to statements they had made during his bond hearing....
According to the prosecution, Zimmerman a volunteer neighborhood watchman misrepresented, misled and deceived the court during a bond hearing regarding his U.S. passport and his familys financial situation.
The guy is a liar. The court finally figured that out.

48. it's even better than that
Because phone transcripts strongly suggest that the 2nd passport was in the Zimmerman's safe deposit box and he specifically instructed his wife to leave it there.
So Mara's credibility is on the line here. He is trying to spin the conversation to the passport being in his own safe deposit box and the he forgot to turn it in with passport #1.

26. Other than the facts, you nailed it
I guess what you mean is, "Other than having about $155,000 in cash and having spent an additional $30K to live for two months, he's indigent." Which is sort of like saying, "Other than being not indigent, he's indigent."
His "lost" passport was valid at the time of the bail hearing.
Don't know where you got the assertion that he told his wife to put the money in "his moms which is changing daily" (whatever that's supposed to mean). The motion to revoke bail quoted jailhouse calls where he and his wife discussed which of their accounts to stash the money in.
"Other than that he was following all his conditions" is a nonsense statement, since the issue is perjury at the bail hearing. At the time, he had no conditions.
And if you think about it, I'm confident you can figure out the difference between "everybody knew he was getting donations from strangers," and "by the time of the bail hearing he'd gotten $200,000 from strangers." Even granting you the unsupported assertion that everybody at the bail hearing knew about therealgeorgezimmerman.com, there's no denying that Shellie Zimmerman sat there in court and said they had no money.
In light of all of that, it's really quite splendid that you can maintain your belief that the poor man is being railroaded, guilty or not.

38. Yes ...
You are in the minority opinion here ... and just about everywhere outside of Gun Advocate/NRA/white supremacist sites.
Other then strangers donating to his defense to a pay pal ac ct he is indigent ...
Does that even make sense to you ... Bill Gates would be indigent too; but for strangers purchasing MicroSoft products.
Indigency is unrelated to HOW one has access to money ... only that he/she HAS lawful access to funds; even if those funds are not his own, e.g., parentally provided or legal defense funds.
I mean the point of bail is to insure he shows back up, His other passport was EXPIRED.
Yes ... And that is the reason the defendant is questioned regarding their ability to flee, i.e., financial resources and travel documents.
I'll have to read up on this, but I believe that passport he surrendered was the EXPIRED passport, not the valid one. That plus the money suggests contemplation.
Other then that he was following all his conditions, Now hes in solidary confinement for not telling the judge he was receiving donations from strangers which was common knowledge at the bail hearing.
Yes, he followed ALL of the conditions of his release ... Oh, except that one that would effectuate his not showing up for court.
And no ... he's not in solitary confinement for not telling the judge ... he's in solitary for KNOWINGLY representing false information to the judge ... information that is at the base of the bail determination.
Neither the prosecutors nor the defense brought this up hearing, BUT everybody knew about this website. Just my opinion.
True ... on the prosecutors part, that silence is called "a card to be played later"; on the defense side that silence is, "I hope you don't pick up on that." One is strains judicial ethics ... guess which one.

39. Some background on some of his meds:
ABC Report: George Zimmerman Injuries Described, Prescription Drugs Also Cited in Weeks Prior to Shooting
By Taylor Marsh on 16 May 2012
According to the report, prior to the shooting Zimmerman had been prescribed Adderall and Temazepam, medications that can cause side effects such as agitation and mood swings, but in fewer than 10 percent of patients. ABC News Exclusive
A LEAKED MEDICAL report by George Zimmermans family doctor that is exclusive to ABC News offers what the defense can only see as ammunition for their client to prove self defense, revealing injuries sustained before Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin.
According to the National Institute of Health, Temazepam is used to treat insomnia. Adderall is a Class II drug used in cases of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). According to Web MD, one of the possible reactions is aggressive behavior, something the prosecution is sure to mine.

57. GZ refused hospital on the night of the killing - why?
Could it be that he was drinking? We won't know because not only did he refuse treatment from a doctor, he also had his wife come and remove his vehicle from the near scene of the killing. In the infamous bloody head photo taken by a resident, GZ is seen holding a cell phone up to his right ear. The witness who took the photo was also asked by GZ to "call his wife."
An important piece of the investigation was unknown to the police on the night of the killing -where did GZ park his car when he got out to follow the youth on foot, as he admitted to the operator? Was he stationary, or did he shadow the youth down the street in his vehicle, causing the teen to grow frightened and run away? Listen to the recorded call when GZ says "these a**holes always get away" and tell me if you hear, like others do, the sounds of a gearshift change as though he was making a U turn.
One thing is easy to figure out - it wasn't parked "by the cut through" at the start of the call. The timing just doesn't work out that way. TM takes around 34 seconds to pass the car and then another 30 seconds to arrive at a point where GZ says "shXt, he's running." If GZ was already parked by the cut thru - TM would have been out of sight by then.
Use google maps and the "path" tool and try it yourself if you don't believe me. At whatever rate it takes to pass the car's position, plot that same basic distance again and see how far away TM would be if he walked at around the same speed the whole time.

35. This says it all
"You need to realize we're still talking about a 28-year-old who's being charged with a crime he does not believe he committed, and his whole life has been turned upside down," the lawyer said. "So I think that it all needs to be kept in context."
Zimmerman honestly believes that chasing an unarmed teenager through a neighborhood, then killing the scared young man, does not constitute a crime. And now he's whining about having to sit in jail after lying to the judge about his finances.
Poor guy.

Description: Seventy-five years ago, a St. Louis widow named Irma Rombauer took her life savings and self-published a book calledThe Joy of Cooking.Her daughter Marion tested recipes and made the illustrations, and they sold their mother-daughter project from Irma's apartment. Today, nine revisions later, theJoy of Cooking-- selected by The New York Public Library as one of the 150 most important and influential books of the twentieth century -- has taught tens of millions of people to cook, helped feed and delight millions beyond that, answered countless kitchen and food questions, and averted many a cooking crisis. Ethan Becker, Marion's son, leads the latest generation of JOY, still a family affair, into the twenty-first century with a 75th anniversary edition that draws upon the best of the past while keeping its eye on the way we cook now. It features a rediscovery of the witty, clear voices of Marion Becker and Irma Rombauer, whose first instructions to the cook were "stand facing the stove." JOY remains the greatest teaching cookbook ever written. Reference material gives cooks the precise information they need for success. New illustrations focus on techniques, including everything from knife skills to splitting cake layers, setting a table, and making tamales. This edition also brings back the encyclopedic chapter Know Your Ingredients. The chapter that novices and pros alike have consulted for over thirty years has been revised, expanded, and banded, making it a book within a book. Cooking Methods shows cooks how to braise, steam, roast, sauté, and deep-fry effortlessly, while an all-new Nutrition chapter has the latest thinking on healthy eating -- as well as a large dose of common sense. This edition restores the personality of the book, reinstating popular elements such as the grab-bag Brunch, Lunch, and Supper chapter and chapters on frozen desserts, cocktails, beer and wine, canning, salting, smoking, jellies and preserves, pickles and relishes, and freezing foods. Fruit recipes bring these favorite ingredients into all courses of the meal, and there is a new grains chart. There are even recipes kids will enjoy making and eating, such as Chocolate Dipped Bananas, Dyed Easter Eggs, and the ever-popular Pizza. In addition to hundreds of brand-new recipes, this JOY is filled with many recipes from all previous editions, retested and reinvented for today's tastes. This is the JOY for how we live now. Knowing that most cooks are sometimes in a hurry to make a meal, the JOY now has many new dishes ready in 30 minutes or less. Slow cooker recipes have been added for the first time, and Tuna Casserole made with canned cream of mushroom soup is back. This JOY shares how to save time without losing flavor by using quality convenience foods such as canned stocks and broths, beans, tomatoes, and soups, as well as a wide array of frozen ingredients. Cooking creatively with leftovers emphasizes ease and economy, and casseroles -- those simple, satisfying, make-ahead, no-fuss dishes -- abound. Especially important to busy households is a new section that teaches how to cook and freeze for a day and eat for a week, in an effort to eat more home-cooked meals, save money, and dine well. As always, JOY grows with the times: this edition boasts an expanded Vegetables chapter, including instructions on how to cook vegetables in the microwave, and an expanded baking section, Irma's passion -- always considered a stand-alone bible within the JOY. This all-new, all-purpose anniversary edition of theJoy of Cookingoffers endless choice for virtually every occasion, situation, and need, from a 10-minute stir-fry on a weekday night to Baby Back Ribs and Grilled Corn in the backyard, or a towering Chocolate Layer Cake with Chocolate Fudge Frosting and Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream. JOY will show you the delicious way just as it has done for countless cooks before you. Even after 75 years, the span of culina

Irma S. Rombauer, Irma Rombauer was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. She is the well-known author of "The Joy of Cooking." For the first book, she depended on friends and relatives for recipes, whose experience was in German cooking and baking. She wanted to write the book for the post Depression women who had not been in their kitchens, were busy and not overly interested in cooking, but wanted to create a wonderful meal with minimal effort. Her style in the book was to present the recipe as a narrative with one paragraph essays that had no separate ingredient lists or instructions. Rombauer approached cooking as a necessity and covered the entire scope of kitchen procedures, making the book easy to use in a home kitchen. Her first attempt at publication took her to Indianapolis to meet with D. Laurance Chambers from Bobbs-Merrill Company. Chambers strategically rejected her during their first meeting and then persuaded Rombauer to do a revision with no advance payment or guarantee of publication. She produced a manuscript that filled fifteen notebooks, which were a combination of new and old recipes that were in her distinctive format. Rombauer naively believed that she could negotiate a contract with Chambers by herself and after weeks of well timed rages, that caused her to be ill for weeks after, Chambers got her to sign a contract the gave Bobbs-Merrill the copyright to the new edition and the original, self published edition. In subsequent contracts, Rombauer made sure that her daughter, Marion Rombauer Becker, would have editorial control in the event of her death or absence. Rombauer's daughter had her first solo effort as editor for the 1962 edition, which was just a short time before her mother's death. Marion's interests in natural and raw foods and her desire to make the book more detailed and accurate can be seen in subsequent editions. Marion's son, Than Becker, became involved in the editorship of the book and has featured contributions from many food writers. "The Joy of Cooking" now features chapters on maintaining nutrients while cooking and explains how and why certain materials commonly combined react the way they do.
Ethan F. Becker is president and senior coach/trainer for the Speech Improvement Company, Inc. He specializes in motivating teams, controlling fear of speaking, and developing effectiveness in public presentations. He has worked with clients from Harvard University, IBM, Boston Scientific, the New York Giants, the F.B.I., and various countries abroad.
Marion Rombauer Becker was born in 1903. Besides her work on the JOY of Cooking, Marion realized other significant accomplishments during her lifetime. She worked as an art teacher and later at Women's Wear Daily. She was one of the founders of Cincinnati's Modern Art Society, and served as it's first professional director. Marion was an early advocate of natural gardening and received the "Oak Leaf" award from the Nature Conservancy. Marion was also the recipient of the Medal of Merit from the Garden Club of America. Marion died in 1976.

text: I'm experienced well with html and css, but I'm quite new to Xen's template system within the css. I've had years of experience with phpBB and my own websites, so doing everything from scratch and having to re-upload template and css files is the way that I've been used to things. I plan on creating my own custom skin, so I want to read up on some of the ways that Xen's template system is set up. Is there a resource out there (topic, random webpage, etc) that can sort of introduce me to everything? Obviously, since the system is set up so extensively within the Admin panel, I suspect it would be unwise to start my own style from scratch. That being said, I'd just like an intro to how the pages are set up, and what changes what. Keeping as much of the source code in the default way will make things more flexible in the long run and with updates to the software itself.

We are using the 'stag' theme in our new log cabin and this is to be a focal point between two leather chairs on the cabin wall. It is absolutely stunning. I only purchased the print which came well packaged and on time. I've since had it framed and I cannot recommend it highly enough - well done and thank you!

text: February 6, 2017 Y2Y Harvard Square and the Harvard Square Homeless Shelter need your help!Sign up for Spring shifts with Y2Y and/or HSHS here! Applications are due by February 8th at midnight. AND/ORSign up to be a substitute Spring volunteer with Y2Y here and/or HSHS here. Dear friends,Nearly 30-40% of the homeless population we house identifies as BGLTQ. Help us serve these individuals by applying to volunteer with the Harvard Square Homeless Shelter and/or Y2Y Harvard Square. For over thirty years, the Harvard Square Homeless Shelter has operated in the University Lutheran Church, providing a safe and welcoming haven for countless people experiencing homelessness. And in December of 2015, Y2Y Harvard Square officially opened its doors for the first time to become the nation's first student-run shelter specifically for homeless youth between the ages of 18-24. Though we are separate shelters, we are united in the fight against homelessness.With Y2Y's and HSHS's Spring volunteering shifts starting February 15th, we need your help once again. Learn how you can get involved as a volunteer this upcoming Spring by heading to our websites (HSHS and Y2Y) and filling out our volunteer application today!Again, you can sign up for Spring shifts with Y2Y and/or HSHS here! Applications are due by February 8th at midnight.To apply to either one of our shelters, follow the link above to PBHA's website and common app, click on the organization that you would like to apply to volunteer at (Y2Y, HSHS, or both!), and then submit your application. If you are a returning volunteer (i.e. you volunteered with us last semester), please be sure to click "re-enrolled" instead of "apply."Additionally, we have substitute volunteer lists for the Spring semester that we would love for you to sign up for. In the event that we have an emergency volunteer shortage, your help in subbing for a shift would be tremendously appreciated! The sign up for substitute volunteering at Y2Y is here. The sign up for substitute volunteer at HSHS is here. With much shelter love,The Y2Y and HSHS Families FAQWhat's the difference between volunteering at Y2Y and HSHS?While Y2Y and HSHS are similar and have a common mission, they are indeed two completely separate organizations. The primary difference is that each shelter serves a slightly different population -- Y2Y serves guests between the ages of 18 and 24, whereas HSHS serves guests of all ages (18 or older). HSHS also has a longer history in Harvard Square, whereas Y2Y is a comparatively newer shelter.HSHS is located in the basement of the University Lutheran Church, on 66 Winthrop Street (next to Pinocchio's Pizza). Y2Y is located in the basement of First Parish Church, on 1 Church Street (next to Otto's Pizza). Can I volunteer at both shelters?Yes! We'd love to have you volunteer with both shelters. However, please make sure that you do not sign up for the same shift at the same time at both shelters -- even though our volunteers are incredible, we have yet to meet someone who can be in two places at once. Important Information The HSHS Volunteer Handbook can be found here.The Y2Y Volunteer Handbook can be found here.DESCRIPTION of SHIFTS**************************************************** There are 4 shifts:Dinner: 6:45 PM - 9:15 PMEvening: 9:00 PM - 11:15 PMOvernight: 11 PM - 9:00 AMBreakfast: 6:30 AM - 9:00 AM*But if it is SATURDAY or SUNDAY morning, then it is* [Friday or Saturday] Overnight: 11 PM - 10:00 AM [Saturday or Sunday] Breakfast: 7:30 AM - 10:00 AMBREAKFAST -- Come in bright and early to greet our guests as they begin to wake up! You'll be making breakfast and helping to clean the shelter (an invaluable service!) after all the guests leave at 8am.DINNER -- You'll be making and serving dinner, and perhaps be lucky enough to run on a food salvage trip or collect pastries from the many shops that donate to us.EVENING -- This is a relaxed time to visit with guests as they prepare for bed. It's usually very quiet and a great opportunity for some wonderful conversations. Help is also often needed in the kitchen to clean-up after dinner and prepare plates of food to hand out at the door. OVERNIGHT -- You'll stay awake with other volunteers and night-owl guests, basically having more good conversations, watching movies, doing laundry, reading, baking cookies, etc! This is a fantastic shift because it's a rare opportunity to have long conversations and get to know people well. People often say it's the best shift! And never fear, we do take turns sleeping -- the night is typically divided into three shifts and you will be awake for one of them (there is a staff room with bunk beds, so you will be able to sleep when it is not your turn to be awake). *Y2Y is located at 3 Church Street in the basement of First Parish in Harvard Square. Map. Our shelter entrance is located at the second door on the left side entrance (1 Church St). When you arrive at your shift, please buzz the intercom system and identify yourself to be let in.*HSHS is located at 66 Winthrop Street in the basement of University Lutheran Church in Harvard Square. Map. Other thoughts or questions? Feel free to reach out to Y2Y Volunteer Director DannyPohl at email@example.com, or HSHS Volunteer Director Karely Osorio at firstname.lastname@example.com. We hope you'll join us this Spring, and we are looking forward to working with you in the shelter! See also: Local (Greater Boston)

Lake Shikotsu Journal; Japan Into the Woods: Are Golf Courses Nature?
By STEVEN R. WEISMAN, Special to The New York Times
Published: September 22, 1990
LAKE SHIKOTSU, Japan— Some of the out-of-town visitors who come here to crowd the rocky shores of one of Japan's last unspoiled lakes came up with what they thought was a splendid idea a few years ago -creating an elaborate sanctuary for swans and other rare species of water fowl from around the world.
But since a bird sanctuary would also bring more tourists, and tourists would require more hotels, souvenir shops and spas, environmentalists in this sleepy community in the mountainous forests of the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido found themselves opposed to the idea.
''We were dealing with people who sincerely wished to do something for swans,'' said Masato Tsunashima, a leader of the Lake Shikotsu environmentalists. ''But once we persuaded them that their plan would hurt the environment, they dropped the idea.''
The skirmish over the swans at Lake Shikotsu last year was one of countless disputes pitting preservationists against developers in a country that most people agree has come late to the environmental movement. Indeed, Japanese environmentalists usually find their battles are doomed to failure.
Bears, Foxes and Rabbits
''There are lots of small environmental groups protesting in lots of places,'' said Shigekatsu Maeda, a leader of the Hokkaido Nature Protection Union. ''But we tend to lose to developers because we are still very small and disorganized.''
The picture-postcard image of a green and peaceful landscape in the Japanese countryside is belied many places in Hokkaido and elsewhere by highways slashing through forests, rivers running in concrete conduits for flood control, and paved-over shorelines that have wiped out fishing beds.
Lake Shikotsu, one of the exceptions to that rule, rests in a green canyon surrounded by steep peaks, including at least two active volcanoes on which white sulphurous fumes seep from the crevices. Somehow it has been spared the tawdry tourist traps that encrust the shores of Lake Toya nearby.
For Masaru Horikami, a 25-year-old park ranger, serving in a place of wild foxes and rabbits in the quiet forests is a dream assignment. The only worry seems to be keeping the Hokkaido bears away from the health-food enthusiasts who comb the forests in the summer in search of wild roots and plants.
'Department-Store Tourism'
''We want to develop this area in such a way that people can still appreciate nature,'' said Mr. Horikami, referring to the plans for cycling paths and nature trails. ''This lake is not a department-store tourism. It's more like a specialty shop.''
Until the end of World War II, the forests here belonged to the Emperor of Japan. Although they became part of a national park, the Government permitted companies to cut down trees surrounding the lake, a process that accelerated for construction at the winter Olympics at nearby Sapporo in 1972.
The pressures on Lake Shikotsu and other parts of Hokkaido are a reflection of changing living patterns throughout Japan.
Hokkaido, the northernmost major island in the Japanese archipelago, has long been renowned as a wild frontier region like Alaska, with an economy based on fishing, lumbering and mining. But as those industries have declined, the island has turned increasingly to tourists and visitors.
Push for Leisure Pursuits
The Hokkaido Governor, Takahiro Yokomichi, has repeatedly called for the construction of laboratories and research institutions to be built throughout the natural beauty of the island. He said they could be built in a ''peaceful coexistence'' between man and nature.
Last year, there were more than 3.5 million tourists on an island with about 5.6 million in population. But whether those tourists know how to enjoy roughing it is another question. Many of them can be seen in the lower mountain trails wearing jackets and ties or stockings and pumps.
Environmentalists say that added difficulties have come because of incentives adopted by the Tokyo Government, which in recent years has sought to encourage more and more leisure pursuits in a country known for its hard-working labor force.
Condominiums and Ski Areas
A newly enacted resort law, for example, has offered incentives to developers to put up golf courses, condominiums and ski areas at various mountain and seashore communities, to the chagrin of those at Lake Shikotsu and elsewhere who feel that that is not the way to enjoy nature.
''Companies want to build luxury hotels to be enjoyed only by the wealthy few,'' said Takashi Kurohagi, a professor in the fisheries department at Hokkaido University. ''That's because the Japanese conventional idea of leisure is not enjoying nature, but getting together and drinking.''
In recent years, local groups have begun fighting the developers. Some groups have sprung up to battle the construction of hydroelectric dams and nuclear power plants. Among the most active groups are those representing the aboriginal people of Hokkaido, known as Ainu.
''Today's Japan is always scrapping the environment and building new buildings,'' Professor Kurohagi said. ''They just scrap and build, scrap and build. But in the end what will be left in Japan?''

New Diabetes Drug Shown To Be Effective in High Risk Patients
A Johnson & Johnson treatment, while tentative, has shown great promise in reducing blood glucose levels in diabetic patients. The drug, known as canagliflozin, has been determined to be a meaningful effective drug in weight loss and blood pressure; but now it has shown to be a particularly dutiful drug in diabetes cases, specifically diabetes type 2.
"It's always a challenge to try and reduce weight, reduce blood glucose, reduce blood pressure, and here you've got an agent which will help you to reduce weight, blood sugar, and blood pressure all in one go," David Matthews, a lead researcher from the study, stated about the results from the experimental study.
Data was collected from greater than 1,700 patients and proved to be a phenomenal breakthrough in the field of medical science and diabetes treatments. If the drug is accepted, it would diversify the current array of diabetes medications given the effectiveness. Patients that were a part of the study were noted to have had diabetes type 2 for a period of at least 16 years and had also taken other forms of medicines for treating their ailment. More than half of the patients had prior medical histories of other complications such as heart attacks and/or stroke. After a period of 18 weeks of treatment, there was a clinical sign within patients given canagliflozin of blood glucose stability. Patients who were given the drug experienced moderate increases in both LDL and HDL cholesterol levels. The increase in LDL, scientists determined was not automatically a cause for concern. Given that canagliflozin has also been shown to be effective in blood pressure, researchers also were able to receive more data from the study. "Blood pressure certainly comes down in significant amounts, in fact in amounts that you would regard to be quite respectable in an anti-hypertension agent," Matthews added.
Given weight loss is also a prominent complication that results in diabetics, the drug has also been foreseen to be particularly attractive because of its effectiveness. Specifically, canagliflozin is in the family of a precise medical treatment medicine known as SGLT2 inhibitors, which work to block any form of reabsorption of sugar in the kidneys while forcing the body to increase glucose excretion in the urine. This, in turn, lowers blood glucose levels. There are always side effects with any medications and with prior studies on canagliflozin, researchers were not able to adequately determine many side effects, but did note that it was possible diabetics would exhibit lower blood pressure and an increase in urination.
Researchers were interested in understanding the particular complications that may result with the liver in patients that took the drug. "All in all, you've got no real safety signal coming out of the liver or the renal aspects (kidneys) that would give cause for concern. The results from this sub study suggest that canagliflozin could provide an important new treatment option for higher risk adult patient with type 2 diabetes," Matthews continued in his speaking on the treatment study.
Due to the overwhelming helpfulness of the drug on type 2 diabetes, researchers are hopeful it may help individuals with type 1 diabetes also.
