There are too many themes running through Sublime, too many aspects that aren't sufficiently resolved or explored within Sarah Thomas' writing. Sophie (Adele Oni) and Sam (Michael Fatogun) are brothers but possibly lovers; they are estranged but familiar; the robberies go well and then suddenly go wrong. There's a fractious relationship between Sam and his girlfriend's father Nigel (Declan Cooke) and some shady dealings that are never quite clear even when explained. The only constant is the somewhat vacuous ignorance of girlfriend Clara (Suzy Gill).

Interview: Sarah Thomas – an emerging writer
Dark comedy thriller, Sublime, is the first of three works currently in development by new writer Sarah Thomas. It plays in April at Tristan Bates Theatre, the central London theatre attached to The Actors Centre. Tristan Bates is well-known for providing a space for new work to be tested, tried and tweaked – something Thomas has taken full advantage on when progressing all three of her plays. Sublime is the first to play a run though and the first full work she has written, after several workshops and rehearsed readings to mould it into a fast-paced, tough-talking production.
News: New writer brings Sublime to Tristan Bates Theatre
Sublime, a tough-talking, fast-swindling dark comedy thriller by Sarah Thomas, comes to the Tristan Bates Theatre from 4 April 2017.

If you wish to keep your smile safe this holiday season, it is important to always take the time to ensure your smile is free of any harmful acids or debris that can lead to enamel erosion or numerous other oral health ailments. One helpful tool that can keep your smile safe is sugarless gum. By chewing sugarless gum, you can help remove and prevent cavities and neutralize acids in your mouth. Listed below are a few of the benefits:
– Several studies indicate that chewing sugarless gum after meals for a period of 20 minutes or longer has been shown to help prevent cavities.
– Usually, it is unsafe to brush your teeth after eating due to the prevalence of tooth sensitivity and the probable abrasiveness from your toothpaste. Instead, try chewing sugarless gum.
– Sugarless gum does not itself help encourage cavity prevention, but rather the act of chewing the gum, as it can heavily influence the production of saliva.
– Sugarless chewing gum is a better option than regular gum because traditional chewing gum contains sugars which, due to the presence of sugar, can nullify and diminish any benefits that can be had.
– Sugarless chewing gum has demonstrated an ability to help promote saliva flow, which can help neutralize and wash away any harmful food debris or acids and provide disease-fighting substances to your mouth.
– Chewing gum should be used as a supplement to your oral health care, not as a substitute.
– Chewing gum will not be abrasive to your teeth as other cleaning products can hypothetically be.
If you would like to schedule an appointment to discuss your possible oral health cleaning treatments with our dentist, Dr. Michele S Tratos and our team, please call 702-369-8730 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

An Australian Muslim leader is under fire from one of the most senior members of his own organisation - after he confessed to wooing women with 'love poetry' in an attempt to marry a second wife.
Keysar Trad, the president of the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils (AFIC), this week spoke about his longing for another bride. He is searching for a second bride with the blessing of his wife of 30 years and mother of his nine children.
But AFIC's Treasurer has gone public with his 'disappointment' in Mr Trad, saying the longtime Islamic community spokesman is doing a 'disservice' to the Muslim community by speaking about the issue.
'We're facing some grave issues... and to go out and speak about polygamy and love poetry is just a disservice to the role of leadership,' said Ali Kadri. [Daily Mail] Read more

"Cd of the week. Thoroughly recommended"
John Fordham, The Guardian ****
"The suite Move! (for jazz quartet and chamber orchestra) sounds more like jazz-inflected classical music. But if its tight structure, melodic latticework and elegantly harmonised orchestration might appear to evict jazz, the chords and brass parts sometimes suggest Kenny Wheeler, while Simcock's solo-piano interludes are contrastingly loose and abstract, and the stridently marching Industrial, with its clamouring horns and funky-Jarrett piano break, bustles with spontaneous life."
Peter Bacon, The Jazz Breakfast
"A gorgeous album."
Mike Hobart , FT ****
"The composer expertly expands his rhythmic piano style to the larger canvas without straying too far from diatonic principles"
- Gwilym Simcock

Maximize Your Plate Utilization by Processing 10 Foot Wide PlatesFICEP News
Ficep recently announced their seventh model of wide plate fabrication lines that combine the operations of hole production (drilling or punching), marking and either plasma cutting or oxy-fuel burning. The new Type A 31 now processes plate up to 10 ft. in width and 65 ft. in length.
The Type A 31 plate processing system, like the other models of plate processing systems from Ficep, features a positive carriage type feed where the material is clamped and positioned in the length axis to the programmed location with precise accuracy. The functions include drilling, tapping, countersinking, marking and cutting and are positioned simultaneously in the width or y axis.
The Type A 31 features a high performance machining type spindle that is capable up to 3000 RPM and uses a ball screw feed with encoder feedback to be able to utilize today's high performance tooling. Each spindle is complemented with a 6 or 12 position automatic tool changer.

Dedicated to the wildlife of the NW United States – and wildlife worldwide.
For a long time I have been trying to get a good photograph of one of the most colorful avians in America – the Wood Duck, Aix sponsa. Although they are common in the Northwest I had been looking in all wrong places. Wood Ducks do not like big open stretches of water; they prefer small quiet ponds in secluded areas and near trees where they can lay and develop their eggs. Their nests may be self made in some kind of natural tree formation or in something like a hole previously pounded out by a woodpecker, and their ducklings are famous for jumping out of these high altitude nests just 24 hours after hatching. With that in mind you would not expect to find this animal close to the middle of a populated city. But that is exactly where I found them – in the city limits of Boise, Idaho at the Morison Knudsen Nature Center. Run by the Idaho Fish and Game Department, and a lot of very dedicated volunteers, the MK Nature Center (as is usually referred to) is a very pleasant surprise as close as is to a population center. Mule deer and squirrels were very much in abundance on the day I visited but this small park is home to a number of other unique animals. Beavers have built an impressive structure that borders the home of the wood ducks; red foxes and mink have also been observed there. The pond homing the wood ducks is also inhabited by an enormous, prehistoric looking white sturgeon. Another unique feature of the MK Park is the presence of what I'll call "natural stream aquariums." Several streams run through the park and are of course wonderful to look at. The MK folks, however, have taken this one step further and somehow constructed a glass sided viewing attraction where a visitor can see inside the stream just as you would a home aquarium. At just 4.6 acres with a nice visitor center and well marked hard ball paths it is an ideal family outing. Don't expect a gigantic moose and bear, wilderness adventure. That is not the MK Center. Easy to get to and easy to stroll around in it is a perfect afternoon outing where a lot of wildlife can be observed without a lot of effort. The next time you find yourself rolling around Boise I highly recommend a visit to this charming little park.

The photographs above were taken at American Lake on Fort Lewis, WA.
Living in the Northwest these large birds are just about impossible to miss. In many places it is also nearly impossible not to come into contact with the aftermath of their grassy diet, I certainly have, and I'll bet there are quite a few golfers out there who can attest (and detest) to this experience also. I believe this is especially true around Salem, Oregon where I have seen flocks numbering in the hundreds, more than I've seen anywhere. Messy aftermath aside I have become quite fond of these birds. Their energy and raucous interactions are very interesting to watch and you can normally get quite close to them as well. Because of this and due to the fact that they are such a common sight much has been written about their behavior. Yet despite all that I have read about these beautiful birds I have noticed two peculiar habits not described elsewhere, and one of these behaviors is something I have not seen in any other bird. Watch a flock of Canada Geese on land for a period of time and you are sure to see the one legged stance. Sure, a number of other birds exhibit this posture so it is not too much of a peculiar thing. But spend some time observing Canada Geese in the water and you just might see something that is very peculiar – they flip themselves completely upside down – the only bird I know of that does this. Normally you see the geese swimming about in relative peace but sometimes I see small groups of them engaged in what I can only describe as vigorous bathing. At first all seems normal, then you notice one or two of them begin to furiously flap their wings and splash water all over the place. Immediately after one of the animals dips its head into the water and heaves itself completely over to the point where its flippered feet are sticking out of the water and pointing upward. Perhaps it is some kind of aggressive demonstration or something; I do not know. But the geese never appear to be facing a rival during these episodes and after seeing this behavior numerous times it looks very much as though the birds are trying to thoroughly wash themselves off. The flock does not all do it at once, only one or two of the birds go through this ritual at a time, and the energetic wing splashing does not always result in the upside down display. But every time I have seen the wing splashing sooner or later the birds are flopping upside down, and eventually they all seem to take turns doing it. Perhaps some bird expert out there can provide some insights on this.

We counted 24 elk in this herd, the largest I've seen in some time, and quite comfortable with human and vehicle presence. Although he was not an exceptionally example of his species, the antlered fellow in the photo was the only one sporting antlers and appeared to be El Hefe of this group. The two closeups are examples of his very extended, very beautiful, family.
North of Olympia along highway 101 sits a beautiful, uniquely named state park. Dosewallips State Park, named for its proximity to the Dosewallips River, encompasses over a thousand acres and boasts long shoreline trails along the river and the Hood Canal. Camping sites abound as well. The marine waters of the Hood Canal dominate the scenery yet, from time to time, like this Columbus Day weekend, elk herds steal the show.

Although the photograph does not accurately show the color difference between the snakes, it was very visible to my eye. The photo of the harvest ant herding its flock of aphids is a tribute to Swiss naturalist Charles Bonnet.
I recently discovered a pair of beautiful new born garter snakes in my backyard. Hardly big news but the sight of little things triggered my curiosity as usual. Based on their size and location I assumed they were from the same litter but each possessed a distinctly different color as is evident in the above photos. I took them in for a couple of weeks to see if their individual colors would progress or revert to something similar. The colors remained different on each snake so I let them go in the same location I had discovered them in. Garter snakes, especially our Northwest species, come in a variety of beautiful colors and this pair reinforced that fact. As I pondered the delicate beauty of the tiny serpents I was also watching one of the Great Courses I'd ordered from National Geographic, "Zoology, Understanding the Animal World." If, like me, it has been many years since you formally studied the subject this is a great refresher to bring you up to date. The section of the course that deals with reptiles mentioned parthenogenesis. The lecturer, Donald E. Moore, had covered this topic earlier but in this section of the course he interviews Lauren Augustine, curator of reptiles at the Smithsonian National Zoo Reptile House. MS Augustine and Dr. Moore discuss a female Asian Water Dragon that has been in captivity without any other lizards male or female for the past eight years. Recently, and very unexpectedly, this lizard laid several eggs which are developing normally. This triggered my memory of several other reports about parthenogenesis in reptiles that have recently made news. So I went online and looked around. With very little effort here are a few of my findings about reptiles giving birth without fertilization:
From Reptile Report (ReptileReport.com):
From Reptiles Magazine (ReptilesMagazine.com)
From Live Science (LiveScience.com):
From Encyclopedia Britannica (Britannica.com):
I discovered that the study of parthenogenesis is not new by a long shot. It was first described in the 1700s by a Swiss lawyer named Charles Bonnet (1720-1793). Although he was a lawyer Charles had a passion for natural science. He discovered and described the birth and development of unfertilized eggs while studying aphids and ants. Shows what you can do with a hobby! This work was further carried on by a German biologist, Jacques Loeb, (1859-1924) who actually provoked parthenogenesis by manipulating environmental conditions. Loeb began working with unfertilized sea urchin eggs and then went on to work with frogs. His studies shed much light on the process and initiation of cell division.
I am sure there are many more examples of parthenogenesis in reptiles and other vertebrate species as well so I will be following up this post with more research on the topic.

A few examples of the scenes awaiting visitors at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. You might see a black bear swaying back and forth high up in a tree, a herd of bull elk with antlers pointing to the sky preparing for the rut, the giant northern wood bison, a very relaxed brown bear surrounded by ravens.
About an hour south of Anchorage along the Seward Highway the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center is a worthy destination. From porcupines to musk ox the Conservation Center has it all; a complete resume of the most famous Alaskan animals this non-profit organization is focused on preserving. Even the drive to the center is fine outing for wildlife lovers. As you begin your trip along the beautifully scenic Seward highway you may want to stop by and stroll the boardwalk around the Potter Marsh, a bird lovers paradise. A few miles further on check for signs pointing to the Alaska Zoo. This great zoological park is just two miles off the highway and you will be treated to close up views of many smaller examples of Alaskan wildlife as well as some other exotic cold weather species. As your journey continues you just may be one of the lucky few (I was one of them) treated to the sight of Beluga Whales in the Cook Inlet. Pull over into Beluga Point and take a look. And keep a look out to the mountains of the Kenai Peninsula for the lovely Dall sheep that make these mountains their home. I guarantee that you will be so distracted by the splendid scenery you will arrive at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center before you know it. Alaskan weather is always a concern, of course, but you can take your pick of driving or walking through this sprawling beautiful park. From the youngest to the oldest in the family a fine time is in store. Whichever you choose be prepared for some extraordinary scenes such as the ones I photographed. One word of caution – be sure to check the hours that the park is open. Because of the previously mentioned Alaska weather the center has varying hours for almost every month of the year.
Counter intuitive as it seems mid summer is the time to observe an astounding number of frogs, at least in one particular area of the country. The Ankeny National Wildlife Refuge outside of Salem, Oregon is for most of the year a marshy wetland overflowing with water. Our annual hot and dry Northwest summers, however, shrink this down to an alarming degree. But there is a distinct advantage to this dryness (for us). The refuge is home to a gigantic population of beautiful red legged frogs. The frogs are visible during the wet season of course, but the diminishing marshes of summer concentrate these amphibians to an amazing degree. Even with temperatures in the upper nineties I was able to see and photograph thousands of them. In fact, it was actually easier than in wetter times as the excessive heat seemed to wear the little guys down somewhat. As you can see from the photo above, though, there are definite disadvantages for them.
Pictured above is our Ten Lined June Beetle, named for the obvious markings on its elytra wing coverings. Pull those back and the wings underneath are revealed. Another of the Ten Lined June Beetle's most notable characteristics are the relatively enormous, flopping looking antenna sprouting out from their heads. The larvae in the above photo was found in a rotted tree in a forest in Arkansas.
June Beetles are one of the most conspicuous insects in our area. These extraordinary animals, true to their nickname, show up in our region and throughout the North America right around June and July, but they are also referred to as May Beetles in some areas – I'll bet you can guess why (these are a distinctively different color by the way). Here in the Northwest we have a species called the Ten-lined June Beetle due to the distinctive number of white lines on its back. According to Arthur Evans Field guide to Insects and Spiders of North America our June Beetle has been observed feeding on pine needles. If that is the case it is a small wonder that these animals pop up in the Northwest.

It's our only native turtle and certainly worth saving. The specimen above was filmed at Northwest Trek a couple of years ago. As I understand the story it was turned in to the zoo from someone who found it outside of a convenience store. Lucky thing! More recently the Woodland Park Zoo has been raising several of these turtles from a collection of eggs. The little guys are ready to take on the the world now and a big release of these rare Testudines is about to take place. Click the link below for more on the story and why these native turtles have become so rare:
From King 5 News – Western Pond Turtle Release
Why do they refer to the big lodge at Mount Rainier as "Paradise?" My wife and I went hiking the other day and found a place that I think is much more deserving of the name – Owyhigh Lakes. It's a fairly easy 3.5 mile hike to the top where you will be treated to some unexpectedly spectacular scenery. The sharp eyed observer might even be treated to the sight of a Western Toad along the way. And once you are there trot down to the lake and stare at the beautifully clear water while being surrounded by Cascades Frogs. Who could ask for more paradise than that?
I opened the door the other night to do my standard pre lights out check and clinging to the outside doorframe sat this enormous moth flashing its incredible wings. After a considerable amount of research and a lot of photo comparisons it seems to me that the moth in the above picture is a Cercopia Moth, Hyalophora cercopia, the largest moth in North America. Now that alone would be something worthy of a post to the website. But there's a bit of mystery here. Every reference I consulted while trying to identify this insect maintains that the range of this moth is "East of the Rockies." Well I assure you that my front porch is not east of the Rockies. Insect ranges, especially the winged variety, are notoriously variable so this should not be a huge surprise but the references I looked at both hard copy and online were very explicit about the Eastern range of the Cercopia. Perhaps we have a beautiful big new addition to our Northwest Lepidoptera population. If anyone out there has a better identification of this insect please let me know. An obviously interesting point about these kinds of visually captivating moths are the distinct "eyeball" designs on the wings used to ward off approaching predators. This particular moth displayed that behavior very clearly, spreading its wings to the fullest extent every time I got too close.

WEST LAFAYETTE -- Roger Norman Kirkpatrick, 76, of West Lafayette, went to be with his Heavenly Father, with his wife, Shirley (Willer) Kirkpatrick, and daughter, Tammy Jo at his side, on Saturday, May 22, 2010.
Roger was born in Coshocton on June 28, 1933, the only child of the late Robert and Clarice (Norman) Kirkpatrick.
Shirley and Roger would have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary Nov. 24, 2010.
Roger, a born-again Christian, is now with his daughter, Bobbi Jo, who went to heaven Oct. 4, 1964. With his Lord's help, Roger was tough and courageous. After winning several battles from skin, and ear cancer, Lymphoma, Amelia Blastoma and Chemotherapy, it was finally lung cancer that was too much for his earthly body to endure.
Roger was a graduate of West Lafayette High School and spent his entire life on the family farm near West Lafayette.
He would always tell people, "I was raised in my parent's home, moved a quarter of a mile down the road and I can see me cemetery from here."
He always kept busy. He was an avid sportsman and worked at the Paul Apple Pennzoil Station on Main Street in West Lafayette. Later, he owned the Shell Station on Main Street in West Lafayette and then was employed for over 30 years at General Electric in Coshocton.

Roger loved and servied his Country in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War and was a Conservative and proud American. He was a member of the Coshocton County Humane Society, Friends of the Animal Shelter, and loved animals especially his seven cats, Kitty Kupcake Kirkpatrick, Scooter, Harry, Gizmo, Tiny Tim Tigger, Blondie and Boo. He also enjoyed playing games with friends, colloecting replicas of Red Birds, watching the financial world, working in his farm and eating.
Along with his wife and daughter, he is survived by a sister-in-law, Polly Saggio of Newcomerstown; a special person he called son, Damon S. Litsey, DPM; cousins; the Coshocton County Hospice Team; and many friends who will miss him deeply.
Roger was preceded in death by brother-in-law, Tony Saggio; and Shirley's parents, Herb and Violet Willer.
A funeral service took place May 27 at the Given-Dawson Funeral Home, West Lafayette. The Rev. Chanuncey Eggan officiated. Burial took place in Fairfield Cemetery in West Lafayette, where the Coshocton County Veterans Council conducted military services.
The family wishes contributions be made to Hospice of Coshocton, the Calvary Methodist Church on State Street in Newcomerstown or to Friends of the Animal Shelter in Roger's memory.

The Natural Way to healing and detox in 9 Days.
This 9 Day Detox came about as a result of seeing how many people's immune function and health improved and were motivated to eat better and be healthier, using the AIM products.
This program is designed to increase the process of healing, repair and detoxification and may lead to weight loss (even if you are underweight).
This is the body's way of dealing with unhealthy tissue and cells. In time you can follow on with 21 Day Natural Way to Detox and Healing program and 30 Day Maintenance program for healing.
This will allow healthy rebuilding of your body and can only take place when the body has dealt with all unhealthy tissue.
The products used in the program are from AIM and for more information on ordering directly from AIM, please contact email@example.com.
You can follow the program without these products, but are more likely to see results sooner using them.
Those not wanting to lose excess weight can also use this program as a detox program. I suggest you do not use the natural appetite suppressant like Cranverry which contains Garcinia.
As on all detox programs, there is likely to be some weight loss; to limit the loss, increase the quantities of food.
We recommend that for healthy lifestyle principles that you read "Perfect Health – The Natural Way" by Mary-Ann & Mark Shearer

Benefits Of Getting Phone Services
An enterprise that has been in the industry long enough and established has some people to talk to on a daily basis; therefore, there is a need to look for someone that can always be trusted and must have a proven record. Whenever an individual wants to get the phone services, remember it has a bunch of advantages and also increases your enterprises productivity; therefore, find a website with detailed information. In this article, it takes people through a deep understanding of some of the benefits linked to outsourcing phone services, that nobody should have to ignore, and how important it will be to your enterprise.
It Is Cost Effective
Using another company to manage your calls is one of the cost-effective methods that any enterprise can have, as shown here considering that, the firm will no longer need to hire people to work for you on a full-time basis. When there is some extra cash, there will be a way for a person to take some of the money into other projects, and you can research through any website that a person gets information on where to take that money.
You No Longer Need To Hire And Fire
The best part about outsourcing phone company is the fact that an individual will have a chance to keep the same team and ensure your firm is running, even when there are a few changes in the enterprise. A person must look forward to ensuring that there will be no wastage of time since the firm needs to make money on a full-time basis, and outsourcing a company means that there's always someone ready to take the calls.
No Need To Train
If a person decides to operate a call center, it means that once there are new employees, an individual will have to take time off from the regular activities and keep these people informed on how your business operates, and the things to expect from them.
A Perfect Way To Increase The Productivity
As long as an individual get a response regarding various things and services means that they can always recommend friends, which helps in business expansion.
Saves One From Opening A Center Internationally
Going global is always scary for most people because you are not sure how well your business will do in that country, however, before setting, see the magic phone services offer.
Helps To Handle Clients Claims Efficiently
If you are running your call center, it can be quite tough to receive calls at night, which leads to some clients issues being left unresolved, but finding a team that operates on a full-time basis, and can be of assistance always. People will not have to think about work when at home relaxing because the team is always ready, and operates on a full-time.

Anil Bhoyrul asks whether other banks should follow Barclays' lead in giving customers easier access to loans.
Three weeks ago I was in Dubai's Burjuman Centre. You know what it's like - Friday afternoon, a little bored, having a bit of a cruise around the shops.
Suddenly, a well dressed man, wearing a suit and green tie, began following me.
I thought I had given him the slip by Starbucks, but as I entered Virgin Records, he appeared again. He was smiling.
"I work for Barclays Bank. Do you want a loan?" he said.
"Erm, no," I explained, adding: "I already have one with Mashreqbank."
"Even better," he said.
As we now all know, Barclays Bank is the latest western giant to enter the UAE market. Its retail banking services for current and savings accounts will be launched later this year, but in the mean time, as the sales rep explained to me rather candidly, Barclays doesn't really want your money. It doesn't really want your current and savings accounts. It wants to lend you money and quite a lot of it - through credit cards, loans, mortgages and anything else that springs to mind.
There will be Classic, Gold and Platinum cards, and Barclays has an ambitious plan to become the number one card issuer in the UAE within the next three years by targetting 10,000 new customers a month starting in August..
"We have a large sales force and we have multiple channels to get to the customers. We will be in the malls and [Dubai] Internet City, we will be in cinemas and there will be advertisements on the radio. We have entered the market quite aggressively," says Zeeshan Saleem, Barclays head of cards business in the UAE.
And whereas in the past, banks have insisted on salary transfers before granting loans, Barclays has smartly realised that where the real profit lies is in offering loans - with or without other banking services or salary transfers.
Debt levels have been rapidly rising throughout the UAE and bankers report that the average UAE national owes US$40,800, while expats have debts nearing US$28,000 each.
Personal loans have increased by 13.2% last year to US$7.4 billion and the credit card business is booming.
Given that loans and credit cards, with their high interest rates, are where banks make their real money, it is no surprise that Barclays has decided to offer customers these products with such attractive terms.
So what kind of credit cards are on offer?
There is a Prestige package, for which customers pay an annual fee of AED550, pay 2.19% interest a month and receive a number of benefits including the Barclays Butler Service and discounts at spas and health clubs. Under the Priority package customers pay a yearly fee of AED300, pay 2.39% interest and receive benefits such as travel insurance and free cinema tickets.
Preferred package members pay no annual fee, 2.49% interest and receive fewer benefits.
It all sounds rather the same as Mashreqbank, Citibank, RAK Bank, ABN Amro - but with a twist- offering the customer choice, and in the case of loans - relatively easy access.
I predict Barclays will do incredibly well out of this. And while it would be easy to criticise the bank for homing in on the debt market, banks are in business to make money.
There is less cash to be found in running current accounts, or even savings accounts. More work than is worth it. Margins are far higher on loans.
I suspect that Barclays may have opened up a new trend here.
And even some of the existing regional players may think twice about whether it is really worth offering customers anything more than loans and credit cards.

Read the full story at CityLab.
A new type of agriculture has recently taken shape in American cities. Vacant properties and high-rise rooftops are morphing into farms, yielding fresh produce and honey, and exposing urban dwellers to the once strictly rural activity of food production. But sadly (and perhaps nor surprisingly), it might be a passing fad.
At least that's what a new study published in the British Food Journal suggests. Carolyn Dimitri, the lead author and an associate professor of food studies at New York University, set out to assess the viability of American urban farming and to identify what drives urban farmers. She and her colleagues found that about two-thirds had a social mission that went beyond food production and profit. She also found that, regardless of their mission, roughly two-thirds of urban farmers say they're failing to make a living, reporting sales below $10,000 per year.

*Note: This is a repost of my review as originally posted to FPN. This was also before I had the italic nibs and stubs that I have now. There is some minor bleed with those pens but overal it is managable. I know some people do not like any bleed so I though I would mention that.
This is a paper I have been using before I got into fountain pens for a second time. It always worked well with regular ballpoint and gel pens. The smaller notebooks are very pocketable (slightly smaller than CTF's Hitlist Notebook). I generally use the 5"x7" pads for work. They are big enough for a lot of information but small enough to be portable. The one thing I do not like of the pad paper is the fact that the back side is not imprinted with the famous grid+lines patern. When I started to use fountaain pens, this was less of an issue because of the slight bleeding of ink. I still use the back of the page for less critical info.
For those not familiar with grid+lines, it is a creation by Chad Doane. He had a "revelation" while in a meeting. Some people were using grid paper and others lined paper. He thought how great paper would be if the two were merged. Grid+lines was born.
Enter the wirebound version of this paper. I had the notebook for a while but had not used but one page for a quick pencil sketch when I first got it. It went back on the shelf for quite a while until I ran out of the pads. I brought the notebook out and the first thing I noticed was the grid+lines inprint on both sides of the page. It make's obvious sense. The rather rustic looking chipboard cover looks like it could take quite a beating if stored in a bag for transport.
Fountain Pen Test
I thought I knew how this paper handled fountain pen ink but it turns out that there is a difference. There are no specs on the paper weights used in doane paper notebooks. There is an obvious weight difference in the paper used in this notebook as compared to the paper in the small portable notebooks. The fountain pen ink tests proove this. There was almost no bleed even with a M nib and very minor feathering. The one ink that did feather very bad was Noodler's Midway Blue in my Parker Duofold Junior. Noodler's Air Corp Blue Black in my Sensa Meridian (F nib) seems to behave the best but Diamine Asa Blue, Noodler's Blue and Kaweco Blue are so close to it in performance that it is hard to tell which one takes second place.
Overall, this is a notebook that will be portable enough to carry around and take fountain pen ink very well. There is virtually no bleed through on any ink I used. If you look at the back of the page scan, I used my wettest pen and it does not show through to the front of the page.

Students end hunger strike, proclaim victory
California State University students who engaged in a week-long hunger strike over soaring tuition and high executive pay have ended their fasts.
The dozen students at six campuses convinced CSU to consider one of their demands: extending free speech areas.
Members of Students for Quality Education (SQE)—who organized support for the hunger strikers—said they believe the action lent a voice to the 40,000 students who have been turned away from the CSU due to lack of priorities and mismanagement of funds.
"We are committed and ready to continue exposing the corruption that exists under Reed's leadership. If we don't stand up and do something about it, the door to a public CSU can be closed forever," affirmed Natalie Dorado, a hunger striker from CSU San Bernardino.
SQE has gained immense support from other students, faculty, staff, and parents of future college students and will be reaching out to state legislators to work on putting their criticisms of Chancellor Reed's leadership into concrete changes within the CSU structure.
SQE is a statewide student group on 18 CSU campuses founded by students in 2007. SQE is committed to building a statewide student movement to address the educational injustices and attacks on students, faculty and staff in the California State University system.

More than ten years after the abrupt end of her high-profile broadcasting career, Ali Reynolds has made a good life for herself in her hometown of Sedona, Arizona. She has a new house, a new husband, and a flourishing cybersecurity company called High Noon Enterprises, where her team of veritable technological wizards hunts down criminals one case at a time.
But the death of an old friend brings Ali back to the last story she ever reported: a feel-good human interest piece about a young man in need of a kidney to save his life, which quickly spiraled into a medical mismanagement scandal that landed a prestigious local doctor in prison for murder.
Years may have passed, but Dr. Edward Gilchrist has not forgotten those responsible for his downfall—certainly not Ali Reynolds, who exposed his dirty deeds to the world. Life without parole won't stop him from getting his revenge. Tattooed on his arm are the initials of those who put him behind bars, and he won't stop until every person on that Annihilation List is dead.
In this gripping suspense novel from the New York Times bestselling author praised for her "inimitable, take-no-prisoners style" (Kirkus Reviews), Ali Reynolds and her team race against the clock to stop this ruthless killer—before her own name is crossed out for good.

Fosjoas V6 is delicate and small-sized so anyone can lift it by either of hands into the lift or onto the bus or the metro. Meanwhile, the aerospace attitude control theory, fuzzy software algorithm and gyroscope system will still be put to use to realize self-balancing. Emmanuel gets up and steps out of his house with his V6 electric one wheel lifted. It seems that he has practiced so many times that he is deft in steering the electric scooter. When he arrives the crossing, the traffic is crowded. Hundreds of cars are waiting for the signal light to turn light. When the signal light turns light, merely dozens of cars are allowed to pass at one time. In spite of that, Emmanuel can smoothly shun the traffic jam and he weaves through the traffic. The small size makes V6 able to stream quickly and conveniently. After soon, Fosjoas V6 takes Emmanuel to his company.
