Yes, we have officially just entered the kingdom of bananas with the constitutional crisis reaching its peak. What an embarrassment!
Rewind to two weeks ago when our sister publication, l'express, came out with the news that the president had gone on a wild shopping spree, using a platinum card which she had accepted from a foreign NGO headed by one of the most controversial figures in Angola. The one who prides herself on having very modest beginnings suddenly discovered the delight of luxury shopping, paid for with shady money.
Faced with undeniable proof, the prime minister, Pravind Jugnauth, decided to look the part and try to live up to the image that his communication advisers have been desperately trying to build for him: that of a strong, no-nonsense prime minister. So he banged his fist on the table and announced that he did not agree with what had happened. But, instead of initiating procedures for the destitution of the president, Ameenah Gurib-Fakim, whose behaviour he said he did not condone, he went to negotiate with her. Alone, then with his vice-prime minister, then alone again after having sent his father in between.
Then we learnt that the prime minister – who had for the occasion turned into the State House spokesman – had allowed the president to stay on until the end of our 50th anniversary celebrations!
Every one of these moves, punctuated with vague and provocative tweets by Gurib-Fakim – was bringing the nice aroma of bananas closer and closer. Until the communiqué came out from the Presidency that Her Excellency is not resigning after all! She didn't do anything wrong at all. She used the platinum card "inadvertently" – 20 times! Over several months! One must be really in an advanced stage of Alzheimer's! There was no explanation as to why she was in possession of a card in the first place. But she paid back, she said – forgetting to add 'after the scandal made the first headlines'.
Then we were deep in the banana plantation! And what a slap on the cheek of the one who had looked confident as he announced her imminent resignation!
How did we find ourselves in this mess? Why does a prime minister find it so hard to assert his authority? Why is leadership at the highest level of the country so openly challenged? Why is a whole government so terrorised by a president with no executive powers?
Allow me, if you will, to share an anecdote with you in this context: A CEO of a big company was called to school to be told that his son systematically steals his friends' stationery. The father is devastated and is in total disbelief. "Why on earth did you do that?" he asked his son. "If you wanted stationery, you just had to ask! I would have brought you dozens of boxes from the office."
The message is clear: To be able to lead, you need to set the example through your actions. If you and your ministers are not 100% clean and are placing your near and dear in all the positions of power for life – some without even being aware of what was coming their way; if juicy contracts and state land and even the sea are being selectively offered to relatives; if too many people around are draining the state coffers as if there was no tomorrow; if you yourself acceded to the post of prime minister through a distasteful and disgraceful ruse; if you changed the law to allow a controversial character to obtain licences; if your deputy looked him in the eye and decided he is a bona fide investor; if members of your government being investigated by the Drugs Commission are still sitting pretty or are promoted to even higher positions, who are you to give lessons or try to get those you appointed to various positions to toe the line? They can easily shine the light back on you.
In banana republics, there are no rules. And between characters involved in shady activities, there is no code of honour. So let the mucky elephants fight and may the truth come out! We are already a banana republic. How much worse can it get?

All The Info
What You Need to Know
For years, I have served as a useful source to those seeking inspiration, help, or advice. After twenty years in recovery I finally decided to own that role and be intentional about it. I started writing about my passions, my thoughts, and curious wonderings about our world. I founded Life, Love & Lettuce with a mission to give others a taste of what goes on in my mind--it can be a crazy place--so buckle up!
I also wanted to share my experience with my gratitude journal and show others how to be happy and above all else, enjoy the ride that is life!
Take some time to explore the blog, read something interesting, and feel free to reach out if you would like to collaborate on a project together.

2018 Small Batch Riesling
This wine is made from a couple different small batches of grapes bought from our growers. It represents special pockets within their vineyards. We make this one in a dryer style to highlight their hard work in the vineyard.
Tasting notes
Vintage: 2018
Wine type: White Wine
Variety: 100% Riesling
Case Production: 532
Harvest date: September 27 2018
Brix: Average of 18.4
Total Acidity: 10.1 g/l
pH: 3.0
Alcohol: 10.0 %
Aging: Drink Now or Hold for up to 3 years
Availability: Winery Exclusive
Tasting Note: Our 2018 version of this wine has a perky nose. It jumps out of the glass with aromas of juicy peach, zingy lime and floral tangerine. In the mouth it shows just a touch of sweetness. It is still quite focused and on the dryer side of Rieslings. It finishes with a very fruity after taste.
Food Pairing: This wine would make a great match for something rich like baked brie with an apple compote or sauce on top. It would also work with something spicy like a curried chickpea with some green chili.

This guide assists you in understanding some of the potential causes of delusions and hallucinations, and how the person with dementia can be supported. The support aims to alleviate the person's distress and minimise the impact on the person's care.
If attempts to respond to the person are not effective, or the person becomes more distressed, it is not recommended to continue as this may lead to physical distress. Trying to listen rather than responding to the person can sometimes assist with preventing an adverse reaction. Allowing time out will assist with de-escalating the situation and ensure that the safety of the person with dementia and others involved is maintained.
Responding to delusionsWhat is a hallucination?Responding to hallucinationsUseful resources
It is important to take delusions seriously and never dismiss them as a symptom of dementia. The person is experiencing real fear or anger and distress, whether the belief is true or not. The following offers examples of common delusions, and how to respond to them.
In this situation, the person believes that someone has stolen from them. Never assume that this is a delusion at first – the person may have a good reason to believe this. Do:
In this situation, the person has suspicious beliefs that their spouse or partner is having an affair. This is a common fear and can be difficult to manage, as the spouse/partner does not want to encourage the person's delusion of an affair by asking more questions. Do:
In this situation, the person believes that others are against them or intend to cause harm to them. For example, family members may be visiting frequently, and the person may feel that the intent of the visit isn't honourable. Do:
In this situation, the person is having difficulty orientating to time and place; for example, an 85-year-old woman may be looking for her toddler. A natural reaction is to attempt to persuade the person and to orient them back to the current day. This is largely ineffective and will only add to the distress and create mistrust. Do:
A hallucination is a sensory experience that occurs in the absence of actual sensory stimulation. Hallucinations in dementia are most commonly visual but can involve other senses like hearing and touch.
Visual hallucinations occur when the person with dementia is seeing something although there are no cues for it in the outside world. Do:
People with dementia can experience a number of visuo-perceptual difficulties due to normal ageing, eye conditions, and sometimes from additional damage to the visual system caused by specific types of dementia.
Vision difficulties can result in illusions, misperception, misidentifications and sometimes even hallucinations. They can cause the person with dementia to misinterpret their environment, which may cause the person difficulty in explaining what they have seen.
It's important to ensure that the person with dementia has access to regular eye care and visual health. A visit to the optometrist will ensure that the prescription is correct and that there are no physical causes, e.g. cataracts. Do:
In this case, a person with dementia has incorrectly identified an object or a person, for example, a man tries to use a black remote control as a shaver, or a woman is unable to distinguish between her son, husband, and brother. This may be caused by damage to specific locations of the visual cortex.
These can be described as inaccurate or distorted visual information. Misperception can be influenced by previous experience and expectation. Examples include walking down a long, dark corridor with benches along the wall resulting in the person with dementia thinking it was a train station; or a man approaching a lift that had three large mirrors in it, and mistaking his reflection as a crowd of people who would not move to allow him in.
In responding, do:
The DBMAS Behaviour Management: A Guide to Good Practice is a good resource for managing behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia.

wasn't it great! how many bike events get their own beer?
has to be fancy dress next year – some people were almost taking it seriouslyPosted 10 years ago
Bloody brilliant night.I had a go up the cobble wobble myself on my GT zaskar and i was pretty happy with 30.6 seconds untill i heard the winner did it in 23.67 seconds (on a racer).Had a pint of the "cobble wobble beer"Nice stuff.Excellent display from the Animal stunt team.Proper job.Posted 10 years agondrwdnhmMember
Hey guys glad you liked it, was a real success!
We'll be publishing full results tonight on our club website (we organised the event) but in the mean time there's a video and some photos…
AndrewPosted 10 years ago
good effort on the organisation – really great event, the Frome vibe was in full force! chatted to some of the tour of britain folks and they were loving the whole thing
i heard wispers of a downhill next yearPosted 10 years ago
Cobble wobble was a major success.The buzz was amazing going up the hill and the support was great.I live in the town and all people have been talking about is how good the cobble wobble was.Hopefully this will happen every year with even more events.Well done to Andy and all at the blackcanoncollective for the excellent running of the cobble wobble.Posted 10 years agoThurman MermanMember
really great event, the Frome vibe was in full force!
Agreed. What was extra-specially fuzzy was there was a lot of 'yoof' around last night and not a hint of trouble (was talking to the mayor and local rozzers this morning)
It was indeed very good evening. I managed the Cobble Wobble in 27.59 (on a Charge Duster with forks boinging all over the place) and was in the 'hot seat' for a while till a club mate (and 2nd-cat roadie) did it in 27.42 on his road bike… Grrr. Hat's off to the winner tho. 23s is hugely admirable.
Also did the roller racing in the Cheesy Groin. Managed the 500 in 27.95. Again, soundly beaten by aforementioned club-mate… Grrr.
Also had a pint or two and then sloped off to the Chinese with a bunch of collegues. And a good tiime was had by all.
Then missed last-orders in the Griffin :O(
Roll on next year!Posted 10 years agobuzz-lightyearMember
aww that looked greatPosted 10 years agocragrat73Member
Frome man now living in london, so missed it. Looked fantastic and i'm reliably informed it was. Please run the wobble again next year, i promise i will be there to support and take part. again well done to the organisation team.Posted 10 years agoAnalogueAndyMember
Really sorry to have missed it 🙁
Next year!Posted 10 years ago

WENDELL HUSSEY | Cadet | CONTACT
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has today confirmed that he will be calling for a ban on all protests not related to abortion.
His calls came at a speech today, following weeks of disruption caused by environmental protestors who have been trying to get action on climate change.
That has lead to the Prime Minister vowing to take action against any disrupters and boycotters who aren't trying to prevent women from having control over their own bodies.
"The threat to mining in this country comes from a new breed of radical activism," he said today.
"A brand of activism that should only be reserved for vulnerable young woman trying to enter a medical clinic," continued the fired up Prime Minister.
"So, while drought cripples the inland of the nation and the impending recession draws ever closer, the number one priority for my government for the foreseeable future will be protecting large multinational mining companies that don't pay any tax and pillage the natural environment."
"Because, someone needs to stand up for the little guys, the quiet tax-dodging conglomerates."
"And I'm proud to say I'm going to do my bloody best to do that."

Tara Larkin IHC
Made for this work, and raised in the solitude and pureness of the Yukon Territory, Tara Larkin has a unique approach to leadership development. In a world of accelerated pace Tara's super power is her ability to slow people down, bring people to presence, reconnect people to what is truly important and help people access their inner wisdom as a guide.
With 20 years of combined leadership experience in both the public and private sectors and a lifetime of entrepreneurial experience to draw from, Tara recognizes the importance of a values based, client centered, holistic coaching approach that answers to the evolving complexity facing leaders today.
Learning and growth comes in many forms. Tara's work with Indigenous People of the North has taught her that there is nothing more important than learning through experience itself. She utilises this belief in her coaching style and draws from many sources of learned experience, including her personal life experience, the diversity of the jobs she has employed, the people and cultures she supports as well as her academic credentials.
Tara holds a Bachelor of Applied Justice Studies Degree and is a Certified Integrative Health and Wellness Coach both of which she obtained through Mount Royal University. She is a certified practitioner of the Leadership Circle Profile as well as the Collective Leadership Assessment . In addition, Tara is a facilitator with the Canadian Mental Health Association, where she supports people and organisations to develop tools and skills that help them navigate the reality of mental health in the workplace.

I don't think Bonaire (7790) itself is over-rated, it's a really decent GPU for its price. The "new" rebrand of it however, has a pretty ridiculous price. It's pretty much the exact same silicon because the TrueAudio stuff was physically present on the original Bonaire GPU. They just waited until the "new" card launch to release a slightly-overpriced version with the feature actually enabled this time.
I think anyone who does the research will understand that it's best to just go for the original version if they really wanted an AMD card and that type of performance.

Their mother, enraged by years of unhappy marriage, embraces merry widowhood. Only their grandfather finds solace in the crumbling family house, endlessly painting their story onto a large canvas map. His brightly coloured map, with its tiny pictures of shipwrecks, forgotten houses, saints and devils, is a work of his imagination, a collection of local myths and histo-ries. But it holds a secret.
As the twins are drawn grudgingly back to the house, they discover that their father's absence is part of the map's mysterious pull. The House at the Edge of the World is the compellingly told story of how family and home can be both a source of comfort and a wholly destructive force. Cutting to the undignified half-truths every family conceals, it asks the questions we all must confront: who are we responsible for and, ultimately, who do we belong to?

To our Valued Clients and Friends,
In response to the national emergency and the recent events by our local agencies regarding the COVID-19 virus, including the Yakima County Stay at Home order, Alegria & Company has taken steps to protect and support our clients and our staff.
We want to ensure you that we are taking recommended precautions to keep our clients and staff safe while also continuing to provide our clients with exceptional service. We are taking a proactive approach and are focused on conducting business using available technology. We have closed our offices and most of our team will be working remotely to continue to work on our clients' tax returns and other tax and accounting needs and will be available during business hours via email and phone.
Business are being affected by the coronavirus and fortunately Congress recently passed a law that provides some relief.
- The Families First Coronavirus Response Act is in effect and provides relief for taxpayers and businesses to include: The IRS announced that the 2019 income tax filing deadline will be moved to July 15th from April 15th, 2020, because of COVID-19. All taxpayers and businesses will have this additional time to file and make payments without interest or penalties.
- Paid Leave for workers
- Tax credits for small and midsize businesses to swiftly recover the cost of providing Coronavirus-related leave
Guidance on Federal Income Tax Deadline Deferrals Specifics under Notice 2020-18 are as follows:
For individuals. Individual taxpayers can defer payment of federal income tax (including any self-employment tax) owed for the 2019 tax year from the normal April 15 deadline until July 15. They can also defer their initial quarterly estimated federal income tax payments for the 2020 tax year (including any self-employment tax) from the normal April 15 deadline until July 15.
For corporations. Corporations that use the calendar year for tax purposes can defer until July 15 any amount of federal income tax payments that would otherwise be due on April 15 with no interest or penalties. This relief covers the amount owed for the 2019 tax year and the amount due for the first quarterly estimated tax payment for the 2020 tax year. Both of those amounts would otherwise be due on April 15. (Earlier IRS guidance imposed a $10 million limit, but that limit was eliminated by Notice 2020-18.)

In St. Barth, personal initiative and community-based action have immensely influenced what people refer to as the spirit, or the soul of St. Barth. The St. Barth Summer Camp Yoga Challenge is part of that soul and has become a yearly island event that has set precedent and created a sense of tradition for the island's wellness community.
After a year spent teaching, traveling, exchanging, and learning to live with and past grief, I was inspired, for this 11th edition, by the language of symbols and numerology.
The number 11 is considered a Master Number that inspires spiritual awakening. It calls on the inner teacher to manifest in a mindful and meaningful way through intuition, positivity, leadership, perseverance, and connectedness. The number 11 marks time and awakens stewardship, reminding me of the inestimable value and experience of the wise elders who continue to guide my steps. Becoming a master of one's own self means knowing and accepting oneself and embracing one's humanity through the myriad changes one experiences in a lifetime.
Using life's experiences, happy and sad, to grow kinder, to serve the world better, these are the hallmarks.
I am thrilled to welcome some very special guests and friends this summer : Greg Bosc, Sri Santhanam Narasimham, Daud Khan Sadozai, Loana Junco, Sylvie Millerot, Olivier Dorne, Kristine Kelly as well as local artists, young talent, artisans, elders and stewards.
Join me from July 15 to August 15, 2019 at Villa Seascape for a summer of personal and collective growth as we take a closer look at mindful action and livable consequence through the choices and intentions we dedicate to our yoga, meditation, mindfulness, movement and creative expression. Discover the art of being, and of being human.

I bought my Traeger Pro Grill a year ago and have thoroughly enjoyed using it. The problems began when it suddenly stopped working. The warranty is a self-service warranty which means you have to service it yourself or load it up and haul it to a distributor for repair should your efforts fail. For this reason I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU AVOID BUYING A TRAEGER GRILL. Anytime you pay 1500 for anything a warranty should mean just that, it's a replacement warranty. I am terribly disappointed with the response from Traeger. Please feel free to contact me should you need further clarification.
When it comes to construction, few companies can beat Traeger. Its grills come with construction features like cast-iron grates with a clear and nontoxic coating that prevents food from sticking to the grill and fireboxes made from a similar material. Though Pit Boss grills feature similar elements, many look flimsy, and most will not keep up with your grilling and smoking demands.
There is a bit of a learning curve when cooking with pellet grills. This unit can smoke, grill or bake similar to an oven. The Traeger smokes at 180*, but can cook up to 450*. It is indirect heat, so you can grill a ribeye without flare ups. My unit holds temps within 5+/- of the setting. Yes, you do have to clean it like a fireplace, it doesn't run on gas. The build quality is amazing, especially for a PRC manufacture. If you are interested in a pellet grill, buy a pellet cookbook. Something that gives smoke and cook times for an easier introduction into pellet cooking. The only knock against the unit is that for $800 it should have came with the "optional" folding shelf...
I bought this grill in May 2018. Had to return it to Ace 9 days later because it wouldn't keep temp or would go out and fill up with pellets. I had to have the GM of Ace fight for me to get a new grill from Traeger. Once I did the new one seemed to work for about a month. Since then this one does the same thing as far as heat and pellets. I thought this thing was supposed to be a set and forget grill. If I don't watch the heat it will be 200+ degrees over the set heat or sometimes be at ambient temperature and I have to pull me meat, grill and grease tray out so I can empty the heat pot of all the Unburned pellets. This thing is nothing but trouble. Does it cook great meat? Yes! When it works and you babysit it the whole time. On top of that customer service is about as useless as ** on a boar! They will try and tell you it's something you've done wrong. I will be buying another brand smoker and giving this one to someone who like to deal with troubles.
I think a lot of reviewers here don't have enough experience in pellet grilling to recognize how many features are packed into this unit for the money. I'm not going to talk about the usual advantages of pellet grilling in general in this review (i.e., clean flavor, "set and forget", less ash,). Instead, I'm going to focus on what makes this one uniquely better than the other grills in it's class.
We purchased our wood pellet grill (Model TFB57CLB) from Costco in August 2017. It came with one bag of the gourmet blend pellets. We used the Traeger cookbook to try a few different recipes in the fall. Most of these involve a period of smoking followed by a period of grilling. The grill seemed to work fine at first. We used it a couple of times on warmer days in the winter and it had some trouble getting up to the desired heat level. We started using it regularly again in April 2018. I was careful to clean it and check the pellets etc. The smoking feature seemed to work alright, but when I would turn the heat up for grilling, the grill would usually struggle to get much over 225. I would resort to turning it up to 375 or more just to get it to 225 and then often it would sink back down to 180 or 160.

We purchased our wood pellet grill (Model TFB57CLB) from Costco in August 2017. It came with one bag of the gourmet blend pellets. We used the Traeger cookbook to try a few different recipes in the fall. Most of these involve a period of smoking followed by a period of grilling. The grill seemed to work fine at first. We used it a couple of times on warmer days in the winter and it had some trouble getting up to the desired heat level. We started using it regularly again in April 2018. I was careful to clean it and check the pellets etc. The smoking feature seemed to work alright, but when I would turn the heat up for grilling, the grill would usually struggle to get much over 225. I would resort to turning it up to 375 or more just to get it to 225 and then often it would sink back down to 180 or 160. I went to the troubleshooting guide on the manufacturer's website and checked all the components, which seemed to be working fine.

I bought this directly from Traeger. Beware that this model is now discontinued. They replaced it with the Traeger Renegade Pro without notice. The new model has an updated saw horse design and a new digital controller with probes. It does not come with the handy spice rack however. To each their own but I'd check with Traeger prior to purchase. That said, I paid more from them so if this is discounted, grab it. I love mine!
In 2010, I sprung for a discounted Rainer with $80 in tip money and a pro deal through the whitewater rafting company I worked for. It was an expensive purchase for me at a time when my monthly food budget was around $60. But hey, along with a Roll-a-Table, two chairs I "borrowed" from the rafting company, and my cooler, I had almost a full kitchen that I could deploy from the back of my truck. And the Rainier quickly proved a wise investment.

Purchased my grill last fall at Costco, overall it works OK, some meats like Lamb Chops are just delicious. However, customer service seems to be deteriorating as the company is having success. My kids recently purchased me an add on to my Pro 34, a cold smoker. Traeger sells this but does not support it. The installation instructions are incomplete, I was sent parts that do not go with the unit, then customer service couldn't figure it out, this went on for weeks. After getting it installed, I asked for some instructions or recipes on how to use it, there are none. The old cover does not fit now, and Traeger does not sell one to go with a unit with a cold smoker, or plan on doing so. After a web search, I found one at Charbroil that kinda fits. Also, I just saw the same model at Orchard Supply, it now comes with more shelves and upgrades which I now have to buy as extras.
Because most Traeger grills make use of an Ortech digital temperature controller that's precise within about 15 degrees of your setting, they may not be precise enough for the type of cooking you want to perform. If so, some pellet grill manufacturers, such as MAK, Yader, and Memphis, can give you temperature control within about 5 degrees of the setting. These types of grills use multiple temperature probes inside the cooking area to guarantee the temperature remains consistent. And some of these high-end brands can reach a higher cooking temperature (such as 600 or 700 degrees Fahrenheit) versus the Traeger family of grills (usually around 450 or 500 degrees). Additionally, MAK, Memphis, and Yader grills are made in the United States, while some parts of Traeger grills are made in China.
Capacity Just like with other grills, cooking capacity is an important consideration. Will you only be using the grill for family dinners, or will you be hosting backyard parties where you'll need to feed a crowd? While pellet grills cook food quickly, you don't want to make your guests wait in line while you're putting the second wave of burgers on the grill.

Iran moves to strike 4 zeroes from its battered currency
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran's president has sent a bill to parliament that would cut four zeroes from value of the nation's sanctions-battered currency, the rial.
Semi-official news agencies reported the news on Wednesday, saying President Hassan Rouhani send the bill with urgency to the parliament to consider.
Iran's rial has been hammered by the effects of increasing U.S. sanctions on the country since President Donald Trump's decision to pull out of Tehran's nuclear deal with world powers over a year ago.
On Wednesday, the rial traded at 116,500 to $1. At the time of the 2015 nuclear deal, the rial traded 32,000 to the dollar.

The children will meet a gingerbread man named Dan and read and write words that end with -an, such as Dan, fan, man, and pan.
Literacy Activities
Dan the gingerbread man
- Place real or pretend gingerbread men on baking pans.
- Explain that each gingerbread man's name is Dan.
- Have the children say, "Hi Dan, the gingerbread man!"
- Pretend that a gingerbread man just came out of the oven and let the children fan the gingerbread man and say, "We can fan Dan."
- Let the children decorate their own gingerbread man (optional)
- Have the children think of words that end with -an (giving initial sound hints as needed), write the words on the board, and read them together.
- Make the listed words into cards to use in the next activity (optional).
Dan, the gingerbread man ran and ran
- Read the Dan, the Gingerbread Man target text and explain that, in the game they will play, the children will run like Dan, the gingerbread man.
- Ask the children to form a line at one end of the area and place a pan with the word cards in it at the other end.
- When you say, "Go!" allow the first child to run to the pan, pick it up, and read a word card aloud.
- Have the children chant together, "Dan, the gingerbread man, ran and ran to get a (say the word on the card)."
- Have the child run back, tag the next person in line, and go to the back of the line.
- Repeat to allow as many children as possible to have a turn running.
More Practice
Identify, blend and manipulate sounds
- Let the children make different words (e.g. ran) from letter cards by changing either of the consonants or the vowel.
- Change the beginning sound(s): Dan → man; ran → pan; plan → van
- Change the vowel: fan → fun; tan → ten; pan → pin
- Change the ending sound(s): man → map; ran → rat; pan → paw
- For each of the words the children make, have them produce the sounds for each letter and then blend those sounds back into a word.
Read target words in a text
- Have the children underline the words that end in -an in the Dan, the Gingerbread Man target text.
- Read the text to the children.
- Engage the children in reading the text simultaneously with you.
- Read the text again, fading support.
Write about the activity using target words and phrases
- Display target words on a word wall (i.e., Dan, fan, man, pan, ran, tan, plan) along with the word gingerbread and engage the children in one of the following:
- Provide sentence completion prompts in an interactive writing routine to create a text about their experience. For example,
- Dan is a gingerbread ______ (man).
- Dan is a ______ (tan) gingerbread man.
- I can ______ (fan) Dan.
- Dan, the gingerbread _______ (man) ________ (ran) and _________ (ran).
- Does Dan want to ride in a ________ (van)?
- Have the children use a word wall that includes -an words and gingerbread to write a sentence or two expressing ideas from the lesson activity or target text (e.g., Dan the gingerbread man ran and ran).
- Provide sentence completion prompts in an interactive writing routine to create a text about their experience. For example,

PRICES of pork remained stable at P185 to P220 in Davao City despite the African Swine Fever that has affected parts of Luzon.
Data from the Department of Agriculture (DA) in Davao Agribusiness Marketing Assistance Division (Amad) as of Wednesday, January 15, retail prices for pierna is at P200 to P220 per kilogram (kg) while the price of pork belly is at P220 per kg to P240 per kg.
DA-Davao Amad focal Alex Sibuan said the prices are taken from the Agdao Public Market and Bangkerohan Public Market.
The price of pierna in Bangkerohan Public Market is around P180 per kg to P185 per kg based on the price monitoring conducted by SunStar Davao.
Sibuan said so far, there is no movement in the pork meat prices in January. But in December 2019, pork meat prices in Agdao Public Market hiked by P10 per kg to P20 per kg due to high demand during the holiday season.
He said in December, it reached to P210 per kg to P240 per kg.
"Ninormal na man siya sa January. Nibalik na siya sa presyo (The prices normalized in January)," Sibuan said.
The same trend is also noted by the Hog Farmers Association of Davao Inc. (Hogfadi) for live hogs.
Hogfadi president Eduardo So said the price for live hogs remained at P97 to P105 per kilo since last month.
"Sa karon, ang price is maintained and stocks are available (Right now, the price is maintained, and stocks are still available)," So said in a text message.
Earlier, So said Mindanao remained to be free from the African Swine Fever and urged fastfood chains and other areas in the country to source their pork meats in Davao City.

The title of this article is official, but it comes from a non-English source. If an official name from an English source is found that is not from the English Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia, the article should be moved to its appropriate title.
Oyazi is a secret opponent and unlockable character in the Japan-only game Wrecking Crew '98. He is faced in "Stage C", accessible by defeating Foreman Spike in stage four within two minutes. When Mario enters the building, he is seen lamenting the fact that the facility he built is "cold" and drinking from his bottle, but still challenges Mario to a match to defend it. After his defeat, he appreciates the destruction of the building and expresses a desire to build warm, cozy houses from now on. Defeating him also unlocks him as a playable character in VS. Mode and Tournament Mode.
His name is derived from oyaji (親父) meaning "father" in Japanese, but is often used as an informal term to refer to middle-aged men.

Many who study networks care about groups of interconnected nodes. These groups, called "communities" or "modules," represent real-world relationships like friend groups on Facebook, businesses in a supply chain, and even species within a food web. The challenge is to identify whether, and ultimately where, these structures exist within a mass of data.
In a recent paper, Jess Banks, a Ph.D. candidate in mathematics at UC Berkeley and a former Santa Fe Institute undergraduate intern, Robert Kleinberg, Associate Professor of Computer Science at Cornell, and SFI Professor Cristopher Moore set out to test under what conditions a computer algorithm can verify the absence of community structure in a network. Without an algorithm that can do this, network scientists can't tell whether the communities they find are statistically significant—that is, they can't tell real communities from fake ones.
Banks posed the research as a thought experiment: "If I generate a random network with no community structure 'baked in,' will it have communities by chance? If not, can an algorithm certify that it doesn't?"
After generating random networks with no real community structure, the researchers put one particular algorithm to the test—the simplest algorithm in a popular class called "the Sum of Squares hierarchy." They decided to investigate the algorithm's ability to verify the absence of dissasortative community structures, which, like competitive businesses, are characterized by a lack of connections with each other. In computer science, this corresponds to the classic Graph Coloring problem, where nodes connected by an edge are required…
