Who We Are
About Project Fumbaro Eastern Japan
"Project Fumbaro Eastern Japan (PFEJ)" is a new support model which is constructed by Takeo Saijo, Ph.D to accommodate unsupported victims of the unprecedented disaster after March 11th (2011) massive earthquake hit Japan. "Fumbaro" means 'hang in there', especially used by local people in Eastern Japan.
Our activity started from Saijo's epoch-making system, connecting people through the internet. Collect and send support items (e.g. bottled water, canned food, size L men's clothes, diapers, flashlight, etc) to those who really need them using Twitter and website. At the same time, most of the elderly cannot use computers, so we also arranged telephone operators and local volunteers to contact local survivors directly to get their voices, what they really need.
PFEJ is getting bigger and works on many projects now. Many newspapers (e.g.DAILY YOMIURI ONLINE), TV programs, magazines and websites have featured and introduced our works (most of them are in Japanese). Yet we are not an NPO. It's because of Saijo's philosophy to avoid spending any administrative costs. Project members are all volunteers, not paid at all. All donations are used 100% for earthquake/tsunami survivors. It is very unique support model/group. Every member belongs to PFEJ as their wish and give their time/effort just for one purpose: support 3.11 survivors. No rights and duties (and no profits).
Later in 2012, Saijo wrote a book about the disaster, how he started PFEJ and has continued. As of Feb 17 2012, it ranked as No. 1 Best Sellers in Books at Amaozon.co.jp (Book is written in Japanese only). All royalties on a book will be donated to PFEJ's activity including projects' management, supplies, transportation cost, shipping fee, etc. Also the publisher, DIAMOND Inc., will donate a part of the sales.
We hope many people read this book and do not forget about Tohoku.
Even our members are all volunteers and we are not NPO, it doesn't mean PFEJ is a chaotic group. Our organization is quite sophisticated (see our organization chart).
Our Mission
Because of the complicated decision-making processes, governments could not reach out promptly to the devastated areas. PFEJ uses its website and twitter to spread/gather information, and made possible to pinpoint needs and deliver supports easily and quickly throughout the afflicted areas.
As a matter of fact, most of the elderly in that areas cannot use smartphones and computers, so we arranged telephone operators and local volunteers to contact such survivors directly to listen to their voices, what they really needed.
We, PFEJ have tried to grasp what survivors really need at that moment with all our strength and support them from the beginning and that will never change. Through our projects, individual supporter's thoughts, power and contribution are distributed to the survivors.
Our only and most important purpose is supporting 3.11 earthquake/tsunami survivors. We are not NPO, all staffs are working without pay, and all donations go to devastated area. Our system helps to connect supporters from all over Japan (would like to spread this system to all over the world) and the survivors. Moreover, we are not only distributing relief supplies, but also collecting responses from the survivors. We value on human emotion. We encourage the supporters to identify themselves (write name, address and short notes), also encourage the survivors to send the supporters Thank-you note. This simple communication makes their bond real and strong.
PFEJ has developed, changed step by step. That's because local situation and needs have been changed gradulally. Our more than 1,800 staffs (as of Dec. 2011) make appropriate correspondence possible.

A group of Fresno volunteers is targeting young people with a new social media campaign to improve the living standards of low-income properties around the city.
No More Slumlords, an advocacy group with a core team of 12 volunteers (mostly young professionals), has worked for the past three years on the campaign called, "Reclaim Fresno." It started Tuesday with the launch of an 8-minute video and online petition urging city officials to help improve subpar properties. Wednesday night, they held a launch party at Peeve's Public House.
RECLAIM FRESNO // NO MORE SLUMLORDS from NO MORE SLUMLORDS on Vimeo.
Sergio Cortes, who started the organization along with his wife, said their members talked to several hundred tenants, neighbors, churches, property owners, police officers, firefighters, current and former city staff and elected officials. Cortes runs a media production business in Fresno and helped train his fellow volunteers to be community multimedia journalists.
"We realized no one is doing this in Fresno: documenting these stories, putting them online," he said. "We recognized the power of social media and the power of multimedia to compel people to action."
Cortes said he's targeting young people because 42% of the city's population is under 25. In Fresno 26% of residents live below the poverty level and many are renters.
Armed with smartphones, volunteers took photos of various properties and documented tenants' stories. Some described issues such as gas leaks, exposure to mold, broken heaters and leaking roofs, which they said landlords refused to fix.
Cortes wants the city to bolster its code enforcement department and hold property owners accountable for substandard or neglected properties.
Other organizations, such as Faith in Community, are also working to address the issue of neglected properties. City leaders created a task force, which by March could present the City Council with an ordinance to change some of the city's policies and codes.
Cortes knows about the issue he's campaigning against first hand. After he and his wife moved to Fresno five years ago, he said, they lived in a low-income apartment managed by JD Home Rentals, one of the Valley's largest property management companies that has been sued in a class-action suit over code violations.
Though Cortes moved, he said low-income residents shouldn't have to choose between living on the streets or in slum-like conditions.

Abstract: :
Purpose: Mutations in TIGR/myocilin (MYOC), which encodes a 504 amino acids (AA) glycoprotein, cause primary open-angle glaucoma. The first 32 AA of the polypeptide contain a potential signal peptide (SP) targeting proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). This N-terminal region also harbors two methionines, at positions 1 and 15, that may initiate the polypeptide. We investigated TIGR/MYOC secretion and the role of its N-terminal region in this process. Methods: Deletion/substitution TIGR/MYOC variants containing a myc-tag at their carboxy-terminals were generated by site-directed mutagenesis in the pRcCMV expression vector. Wild-type (WT) and variants cDNAs were transiently transfected in COS-7 cells. Newly synthesized proteins were separated using Invitrogen NuPAGE gels and analyzed by Western blotting. Pulse-chase experiments were performed with 35S methionine/cysteine using a 2 hr labeling period. Results: Transfection of MYOCdelta2-32, in which AA 2 to 32 have been deleted, revealed that the produced protein remained in intracellular compartements when compared to its WT counterpart which was secreted. Pulse-chase experiments showed that approximately 75 % of the WT polypeptide was released within the medium after a 6 hr chase period. More than 90% of the labeled protein was secreted after a 24 hr period. Half-life of the wt polypeptide was estimated at more than 48 hr in the culture medium. Substitution of methionine 1 or 15 by an isoleucine showed migration and secretion patterns identical to those of the wild-type protein. Conclusion: Our data showed that myocilin N-terminal region targets the protein to extracellular locations. The similarities observed between MYOCM1I, MYOCM15I and the WT form may be explained by SP cleavage during ER translocation. Our results suggest an extracellular function for TIGR/myocilin protein.

Planar silicon dioxide optical waveguides were deposited by use of a plasma-activated reactive evaporation system, at a low deposition temperature and with reduced hydrogen contamination, on thermally oxidized silicon wafers. The deposited films show a refractive-index inhomogeneity of less than 0.1%, a thickness nonuniformity of less than 5%, and a material birefringence of approximately 5 × 10-4. Rib-type channel waveguides were formed on the deposited films by means of hydrofluoric acid etching. The transmission loss of the rib waveguides is determined to be as low as 0.3 dB/cm at a wavelength of 1310 nm for TE polarization, after subtraction of the calculated leakage and scattering losses. Owing to the presence of the OH vibrational overtone band, an additional loss peak of 1 dB/cm is found near the 1385-nm wavelength. The experimental results of transmission loss at wavelengths of 1310 and 1550 nm are compared with analytic expressions for interface scattering and leakage loss.

Drew Crawford takes helm at Benecard PBF
ORLANDO, Fla. — Former Caremark Rx executive Drew Crawford has been appointed president and CEO of Benecard PBF, an administrator of prescription benefits and services to public and private plan sponsors.
Crawford is a former member of the executive management of Caremark Rx and is the son of Mac Crawford, who served as chairman, president and CEO of Caremark Rx and also is the former chairman of CVS Caremark.
At Caremark, Crawford was responsible for all underwriting, analytic and outcome operations of the company¹s PBM business, including its specialty pharmacy and disease management units. He also led valuation, purchase and integration teams for the company's major transactions, including its 2004 acquisition of Advance PCS and its 2007 merger with CVS.
Crawford most recently served as a principal with Crawford-Ross, a healthcare private equity joint venture.
Kansas pharmacy school dean receives award
LAWRENCE, Kan. — The dean of the Kansas University School of Pharmacy has won an award in recognition for service to the elderly, according to published reports.
The Lawrence Journal World reported Monday that dean Ken Audus had won the Douglas County Senior Center's Seaver Award.
The article noted that the school has started many programs for local residents, such as health fairs and free bone-density screenings.
NACDS responds to proposed Rx labeling recommendations
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Following the release of U.S. Pharmacopeia's Proposed General Chapter Prescription Container Labeling recommendations, the National Association of Chain Drug Stores issued a letter to USP urging flexibility and an open dialogue with pharmacy and prescriber communities as review of the recommendations continues.
"The chain pharmacy industry shares the goal of providing prescription container labels that are useful for patients. Our members have devoted significant resources and time to developing prescription container labels that are designed to provide patients with the useful information that they need to take their medications as prescribed," NACDS stated in its comment letter.
In the letter, NACDS addressed concerns with some of the recommendations, including technological issues, cost concerns, legal restrictions, prescriber requirements, container and label size limitations, as well as linguistic challenges.
NACDS also highlighted the role of pharmacy in delivering medication therapy management services, which can improve medication adherence. Poor medication adherence costs the United States approximately $290 billion annually — 13% of total healthcare expenditures. Providing concise, understandable prescription container labeling can further assist patients in adhering to their medication regimens to improve health and reduce costs.
"We ask USP to consider outreach and further interaction with prescribers, pharmacies and pharmacists for further discussion, and to develop a greater understanding of the issues for pharmacies," the letter stated.

I love to use lots of white cardstock on my projects, particularly a white background with a white mat on top!
I decided to keep the colour scheme for this card simple, really simple - Marina Mist and Whisper White and nothing else!
I have not used this inlay technique for several years but I thought this intricate die cut of the dragonfly would be perfect to give it a go again!
Once the shape is cut out all you have to do is add your chosen colour of cardstock behind the aperture and then carefully add a small amount of adhesive to the body only on the dragonfly and then place in back into the cardstock. You can either leave the wings flat or lift them slightly and curl then if you like to add more dimension to your cards.
Here is the completed card, the inside and the front of the envelope also received some splatters from my all time favourite stamp set, Gorgeous Grunge.
I had so much fun making this card that I might have got a little carried away - I made lots of them in different colours and sent a bundle wrapped in ribbon as a gift for a friend!

Gaby Hoffmann has a secret ingredient in her smoothies: placenta.
"I made smoothies out of it for three weeks," the new mom told People.
"I had a home birth, so my midwife and my doula took it and cut it up into 20 pieces and froze it, and every day, I put it in a blender with strawberries and blueberries and guava juice and a banana, and I drank that s–t up," she continued.
The "Girls" actress, who welcomed first child Rosemary in November with cinematographer boyfriend Chris Dapkins, said eating the placenta boosted her energy levels and milk supply after giving birth.
"Placenta, placenta, placenta. Just eat that s–t up, and it does a girl good," hailed the actress, 32.

Disney released the official TRON: Legacy movie poster this week, and it is a great take on the original theatrical release poster from 1982.
Take the jump for three character posters that also look really great.
TRON: Legacy arrives December 17, 2010.
1 Comment
Love the first one! Not too keen on the character ones though (the Jeff Bridges one is pretty badass). The last one is little too (and not enough) Aeon "Flux-y" for me. However, this movie is going to kick ass. period.

Water purifying methods RO UV UF
Table of content
- Methods of purification RO, UV, UF
- RO water purifier
- UV water purifier
- UF water purifier
- Conclusion
Introduction of the different purifying methods
The three major principles for water purification are RO (reverse osmosis), UV (ultra violet) and UF (ultra filtration). Often those acronyms are used in the products name to show which method is used for the water purification. Some water purifier also use multiple techniques. The water is not only purified by the particular module but there are also other filters, like sand or carbon, deployed.
There are significant differences between RO, UV and UF which can be seen in a short overview in the following table:
|Requires electricity
|Requires electricity
|Does not require electricity
|More than half of the run through water is wasted
|No water is wasted
|Amount of wasted water is 5%
|Maintenance costs are quite high
|Annual replacement of lamp and filters
|Minimal maintenance
|Germs can be carried over. Not all UV systems may kill e-coli, bacteria and viruses
|Seperates physically bacteria and viruses, but doesnt remove them
|The shelf life can be reduced due to collodial impurities
|Ideal for surface water ormunicipal water
Reverse osmosis water purifier
How do RO water purifier work?
RO stands for reverse osmosis. Often you can hear or read something like aro water purifier or aro water filter. This is just a false pronunciation, we explained it earlier what the abbreviation means. The water scarcity is the very important reality of modern living thanks to the increasing population, growing industrialization, expanding agriculture and rising standards of living have pushed up the demand for water. Efforts have been made to collect water by building dams and reservoirs and creating ground water structures such as wells, while water is a renewable resource, but also a finite resource. The total quantity of water available on the globe is the same as it was two thousand years ago. To cope up with the demands of fresh water it has become inevitable to recycle the water by one of the many water purification methods available in the current scenario and while we still research to develop better methods. Currently we use methods like RO (Reverse Osmosis), Ultrafiltration, Filtration, UV irradiation, Organic absorption, Deionization, Distillation to name a few. Reverse Osmosis is one of the very popular methods in India for the purification of water. It is a process in which dissolved inorganic solids such as, salts are removed from water by passing it through a semi permeable membrane under pressure. It will reduce a pretty wide spectrum of contaminants such as dissolved salts, Lead, Mercury, Calcium, Iron, Asbestos and Cysts. It works well with less turbid water.
In 1959, two researchers Sidney Loeb and Srinivasa Sourirajan at ULCA succeeded in producing a functional synthetic RO membrane from cellulose acetate polymer. They demonstrated that high solute water was pressure forced through the engineered membrane which acted as a filter that allowed only water molecules to pass through while rejecting the excess and huge salts particles. Fresh water that was filtered was drinkable water and the membrane was actually durable and could operate under normal water pressure and operating conditions. This was how this new technology called Reverse Osmosis(RO) came into existence.
Advantages of RO
- The RO treated water is pure and tastes better than municipal water is because the RO system removes about 98% of chemicals from the tap water which has taste and smell of chlorine.
- With the removal of lead, mercury, chlorine, asbestos and other 2100 well known toxins, RO system significantly reduces the risk of illness and diseases.It removes most of the contaminants like arsenic, lead, copper, lead, municipal additive like fluoride. It also removes most of the germs.
- The water that you get from RO system hydrates your body at a faster pace.
- The best part about RO system is that all the pollutants are not collected but directly flushed down the drain.The RO system is best for areas having hard water which is less turbid.
Disdvantages of RO
- Minerals like iron, magnesium, calcium and sodium are larger in size than water molecules, the semi-permeable prevents them from passing on to the other side thus rendering water de-mineralised which is good for the health and it might leave water very tasteless.The healthy minerals which are removed along with the process will turn water acidic and drinking it will not help maintain the ideal slightly alkaline pH of blood.
- The RO membrane fails to remove any dissolved salts ions or particles that are smaller in size as compared to water molecules. Volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) such as chlorine, chloramines, pharmaceuticals etc are not removed in this process.
- It is expensive to use an RO water purifier as it runs on electricity which is important to build the water pressure required for reverse osmosis.
- It requires regular cleaning and maintaining.
- There is a lot of water wasted during the process of purification. Approximately for one gallon of water almost three gallons are wasted.
Solutions to the disadvantages : The water wastage is a problem in most RO systems still but some of them have come with storage solution which stores the water collected after the process and used for cleaning and other purposes. The RO process has been improved over the years and have come come up with this 5 stage purification method which takes care of the residual problems. Also a system is in place to preserve the natural and require minerals like calcium, magnesium, sodium etc.
Ultraviolet water purifier
How do UV water purifier work?
UV-C (100-280nm) is the short length electromagnetic rays which are used in the process of water purification for the last 25 years or so for its germicidal properties. It is easy,clean,safe methods of ensuring that water is bacteria free. UV-C rays (photons) penetrate microorganisms and becomes absorbed by the DNA of the pathogen in the water being treated. The DNA is altered in such a way that the pathogen cannot reproduce and is essentially killed and cannot cause infection. This process of DNA modification is called inactivation. Process is simple but effective, destroying 99.99% harmful organisms without adding any chemicals to the water. It is important to filter the water before applying the UV radiation to it, the dirt and debris which makes the water turbid will interfere with the mechanism of UV-C.
Advantages of UV
- There is no addition of harmful chemicals like chlorine, so there is no risk of overdose or the danger of the byproducts of the chemical used. This also makes it very environmental friendly.
- UV does not change the taste, odour or colour of the water.
- Unlike chlorine, UV systems are effective against both Cryptosporidium and Giardia.
- More effective against viruses than chlorine.
- There is no waste of water in the process of UV purification.
- UV systems are capable of treating variable amounts of water with minimal amount of space with the only maintenance being an annual lamp and filter replacements.
- It is an immediate process and so need to hold tanks or long retention of water.
- It is compatible with most other water purifications processes like RO, UF etc.
Disdvantages of UV
- This methods will not work in turbid water. The suspended particles will shield the organisms from the radiation, a pre-filtration process is there for required if the water is turbid.
- ron, calcium or manganese, if present in water will cause the staining around the bulb sleeve and will interfere with its efficacy and therefore the water softening will be require in these cases.
- Humic and fumic acids as well as tannins will reduce the amount of UV energy available to penetrate through the water to affect the genetic material or DNA of the molecule.
- Temperature is an important determining factor. The optimal operating temperature of the UV lamp must be near 40 degrees C or 104 degrees F. UV levels will fluctuate with excessively high or low temperature levels.
- There is no residual treatment unlike chlorine where it stays in water and continues to disinfect the water, where as the UV is in the water only during the contact time.
In a typical operation, water enters the inlet of a UV lamp and flows through the annular space between the quartz sleeve (which contains the germicidal lamp) and the outside chamber wall. The irradiated water leaves through the outlet nozzle. Several design features are combined to determine the dosage delivered: 1. Wavelength output of the lamp. 2. Length of the lamp - when the lamp is mounted parallel to the direction of water flow, the exposure time is proportional to the length of the lamp. 3. Design water flow rate - exposure time is inversely related to the linear flow rate. 4. Diameter of the purification chamber - since the water itself absorbs UV energy, the delivered dosage diminishes logarithmically with the distance from the lamp. In a typical operation, water enters the inlet of a UV lamp and flows through the annular space between the quartz sleeve (which contains the germicidal lamp) and the outside chamber wall. The irradiated water leaves through the outlet nozzle. Features to look for: 1. Expandable system - parts should be as uniform and as interchangeable as possible to permit easy expansion later. 2. Sight port - enables visual monitoring of lamp operation; also permits later adaptation to electronic monitor device using the same port. 3. Single lamp per chamber - provides greater safety through more accurate monitoring than does a multi-lamp /single-chamber system. 4. Quartz protection sleeve - cold water moving past an unshielded lamp will reduce the lamp temperature and the radiation yield. A protective quartz sleeve will allow the higher lamp temperature required for optimum output of 2537 Å radiation. 5. Mechanical wiper - for cleaning the sleeve surface without shutdown or disassembly of the unit. 6. Optional accessories - Flow controls, UV light bulb monitor, electronic water shut-off valves and alarms, should be available to provide fail-safe operation without operator attendance. A single lamp purifier can be designed to handle any flow rate up to approximately 2400 gallons per hour (gph). By multiplying purifier units, in series and in parallel, higher flow rates can be achieved.
Ultrafiltration water purifier
How do UV water purifier work?
The pollution of fresh surface water and the increasing demands with regard to health and the quality of our water magnify the availability problem and hence water purification and recycling will play a key role in the future of our planet's health and prosperity. Need of the hour is developing economical, easy to use and robust technologies to recycle the fresh water. Ultrafiltration/Membrane filtration is one of the most promising technologies that has emerged in the past decade covering all these requirements. It is usually abbreviated as "UF". In this technology, a membrane with pore size between 1-100nm is used to separate suspended solids, colloids, bacteria and viruses.
RO requires electricity to create pressure, where as ultrafiltration can work well with normal tap water pressure or minimum pressure. RO is suitable to remove the dissolved salts where as UF can not remove the dissolved salts.
Advantages of UF
- No need for chemicals (coagulants, flocculates, disinfectants, pH adjustment etc)
- -Will provide purification even in case of absences of electricity.
- -Exclusive UF water purifiers are very compact and very mobile.
- -Good and constant quality of the treated water in terms of particle and microbial removal.
Disadvantages of UF
- Ultra- Filtration simply cannot eliminate any dissolved inorganic substances from drinking water.
- To maintain a significant pressure movement, frequent cleaning is necessary.
- Effective when preceded by carbon adsorption or when coupled with other purification strategies like RO and UV methods.
Solutions to the disadvantages : The water wastage is a problem in most RO systems still but some of them have come with storage solution which stores the water collected after the process and used for cleaning and other purposes. The RO process has been improved over the years and have come come up with this 5 stage purification method which takes care of the residual problems. Also a system is in place to preserve the natural and require minerals like calcium, magnesium, sodium etc.
Introduction of the different purifying methods
Due to the pros and cons of Ro, Uv and UF there are water purifying system on the market which combine succesful the different technologies. How can I know as a customer which product besides capacity, price, design fits for me. RO systems work fine when the water consumption of a household/company is high. expensive, maintenance for chaging filters, a hole must be drilled into the wall because they are countertops, slow flow rate removes contaminants, filters are long lasting, coffee tastes good how it works: has multiple filters plus the ro membrane

My kids spend a lot of time together. And my older girlie is three and a half and talks a LOT. A lot a lot.
Most of the time we can understand her. We are her parents after all and we listen to her a lot! But sometimes we just don't quite understand a word or two here and there of what she is trying to say. SO, if we are struggling to understand, we just ask her older brother, her personal translator, and he can tell us every time what she is saying.
He knows her so well. He understands her so well.
And I love it.

A Kansas woman was found decapitated Sunday afternoon at the home of her son's ex-girlfriend, police say.
The body of Micki Davis, 63, was found in Rachael Hilyard's home after Davis' nine-year-old grandson called police to report she was being attacked, the New York Daily News reported.
KAKE reported that Davis and her grandson went to Hilyard's home in Wichita to pick up some things belonging to her son, Jacob Gillespie III.
Shortly after Davis and her grandson arrived, Hilyard allegedly started attacking Davis.
Authorities say the child was able to run away, get his grandmother's cell phone from the truck, and call police for help.
Once police arrived, the boy directed officers to the house.
When no one answered the door, police went to the garage, where they found the victim's decapitated body.
Officers found Hilyard hiding inside the house, then arrested her and took her to Sedgwick County Jail.
Hilyard, 35, is facing charges of first-degree murder, KWCH reported.
"She's going to be incarcerated for the rest of her days," Davis' nephew Casey Wallace told KAKE. "I hope she sits in that jail and thinks about that. Hope it eats her alive. And I hope Micki's at peace."

Analysing complementary resources to football broadcasts
- Jan Nemrava, KIZI, VŠE Praha
Joint work carried out during two long-term internships at DFKI Saarbrucken, Germany, will be discussed.
Resources of information complementary to audio-visual (A/V) streams can be used for enriching A/V data with semantic concepts in order to bridge the gap between low-level video detectors and high-level analysis. Our aim is to extract cross-media feature descriptors from semantically enriched and aligned resources so as to detect finer-grained events in video.
We introduce an architecture for complementary resources analysis and discuss domain dependency aspects of this approach connected to our initial domain of football broadcasts.

The World of The Happy Pear
Covering everything from smoothies and snacks to delicious lunches and dinners, Wicklow's Happy Pear cafe owners David and Stephen Flynn are on a mission to help us all discover delicious healthy eating does not have to be difficult.
In their new book, The World of the Happy Pear, the food is inspired by their friends and family and the vegetarian twosome share more of their favourite recipes. If you need to fuel your body for good health, check out these great ideas…
Dave had the best drink he ever had in a health food shop in California. It was a green smoothie that cost $18 and he thought it was a mistake. It was the best mistake he ever tasted! For the last two years Dave and his daughters have been trying to reverse-engineer it; now they think they've cracked it!
80g walnuts
50g goji berries
1 banana
2 heaped tablespoons cacao powder
1 tablespoon spirulina
2 tablespoons bee pollen (and some extra for topping)
1 litre water
Put all the ingredients into a blender and whiz till smooth. Top with some extra bee pollen.
This is Dave's best shot at making a healthy brekkie smoothie that tastes as good as chocolate chip cookie dough ice- cream! We use water here to keep it light, but you can use milk of your choice instead.
500ml water
3⁄4 teaspoon vanilla extract
60g chopped dates
60g roasted cashew nuts zest of 1 orange (optional)
3 tablespoons cacao nibs/dark chocolate chips
Measure the water into a blender jug and add the vanilla extract. Soak the dates and cashew nuts in the water for 5 minutes. The orange zest can be a nice extra to add a zing to the flavour. Blend till smooth. Once blended, stir through the cacao nibs/ dark chocolate chips, keeping them whole.
It's worth seeking out the peppermint oil for this recipe. In this case it really makes this smoothie POP!
60g cashew nuts
60g chopped dates
3⁄4 teaspoon spirulina
a few drops of peppermint oil
500ml oat milk or milk of your choice
3 tablespoons cacao nibs/ dark chocolate chips
Put all the ingredients (except for the cacao nibs/dark chocolate chips) into a blender and blend until smooth. Once blended, mix through the cacao nibs/dark chocolate chips, keeping them whole.
This super-healthy 'mojito' is sure to knock the socks off any cold or flu symptoms you have! It's a great pick-me-up and immune system booster.
juice of 1 lemon
juice of 1 grapefruit
1 ripe avocado
400ml apple juice
a good bunch of fresh mint
1⁄2 a thumb-size piece of fresh ginger
lemon slices and mint leaves, to garnish
Roll your lemon and grapefruit on a work surface (you always get more juice after rolling them). Squeeze the juice (removing any pips) and put into a blender jug.
Scoop out the avocado flesh from its skin and put into the blender along with the lemon, grapefruit and apple juice, and the mint leaves, removed from their stalks.
If you have a high-speed blender you can put the ginger in whole. If you have a regular blender, grate your ginger before adding. Blend the mixture well.
Serve with a couple of lemon slices and mint leaves in each glass.
We first made these pancakes with our friend the lovely Roz Purcell. They are super-tasty, packed full of protein, complex carbs and good fats, and have the added benefit of being gluten- and dairy-free.
125g quinoa (uncooked)
2 tablespoons whole flax seeds 250ml rice milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3⁄4 of a medium-size banana
2 tablespoons honey
a pinch of salt
a little oil for cooking
fresh fruit of your choice yoghurt
In a high-speed blender or coffee grinder, blend the uncooked quinoa and flax seeds together until they reach a flour-like consistency (they do blend in some regular domestic blenders but not all!). Add the rest of the ingredients, except the oil, and whiz together.
Pour a tiny dash of oil into a non-stick frying pan, mix it around the pan and wipe away with a piece of kitchen paper to remove any extra fat. Put the pan on a high heat and allow it to heat up for a few minutes.
Pour in a dollop of your pancake batter and spread it out evenly in the pan. Turn the heat down to medium. Once the edges start to cook and the centre starts to develop holes or bubbles, flip the pancake over and cook the other side until it gets light brown. Put your cooked pancake on a plate and cover it with a tea towel to keep warm. Make the rest of your pancakes the same way, until the batter is used up.
TIP: If the batter starts to get too thick, add a little more rice milk to thin it out.
This is a fab barbecue recipe and goes down a treat with both veggies and non-veggies – always a winner! It's one of the most popular dishes on our evening menu.
1 courgette
1 aubergine
1 red pepper
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 x 200g pack of halloumi cheese
4 burger buns or wholemeal pittas
homemade ketchup (page 184)
homemade Happy Pear mayo (page 181)
50g rocket or similar greens
Start by preparing your veg. Cut the courgette in half and then into thin strips lengthwise. Slice the aubergines lengthwise into thin strips. Chop the pepper vertically into four large sections, discarding the core with the seeds. Chop the halloumi into 4 thin rectangular slices.
Put the cut veg into a large bowl with 4 tablespoons of the oil and the salt. Mix well until they all have a nice even coating.
Start to grill the prepared veg on a hot barbecue, turning regularly – you want them nicely charred but also soft and tender.
Remove your cooked veg from the grill and set aside while you cook the halloumi – it will cook very quickly! Put it on the barbecue until it has nice grill marks on each side, about 5 minutes.
Toast the buns on the barbecue, then layer them up with some homemade ketchup on the bottom bun, Happy Pear mayo on the top bun, grilled courgettes, aubergine, halloumi, roasted peppers and some rocket in between. Alternatively you can spread the inside of your toasted pitta pocket with ketchup and mayo on either side and fill with your halloumi, veg and greens. Take the first bite . . . epic, and oh so tasty!
The World of the Happy Pear, simple and delicious food for a happier healthier you by David and Stephen Flynn is published by Penguin and costs €24 from all good bookshops.

Musty Basement Smell Could Mean Mold is Growing in Your Home
FastMoldRemoval.com, the innovators behind MMR mold stain remover and MPI antimicrobial, provides advice and solutions to basement mold problems.
The musty smell associated with many basements is often a strong indication of a mold problem in the area."
Basements are a common feature of homes and commercial buildings in many parts of the country. While basements often provide additional living space and convenient storage, they are also frequently the source of unpleasant odors.
The musty smell associated with many basements is often a strong indication of a mold problem in the area. Since basements frequently suffer from water and moisture problems, they can develop mold issues that can spread and cause concern for other areas of the home or building. Mold can produce volatile compounds that are readily released into the air. These unpleasant odors are known as microbial volatile organic compounds or mVOCs. The health effects of inhaling mVOCs are largely unknown, although exposure to these compounds has been linked to symptoms such as headaches, nasal irritation, dizziness, fatigue and nausea.
Aside from obvious flooding scenarios, moisture can enter a basement in many ways. Some of the more common sources include moisture entering through wall or floor cracks, mortar joints or by bleeding and sweating into the basement. Other sources include condensation on pipes that are not insulated and even clothes dryers that are not properly vented to the outside.
Mold growing in a basement could pose health concerns for not only people who spend time in the basement, but any airborne mold spores and mVOCs could potentially spread throughout the property through the HVAC system or other means, reports Chris Heller with FastMoldRemoval.com, a leading supplier of mold prevention and remediation products. If mold is discovered, MMR mold stain remover, MPI antimicrobial, HydroKlenz and ProClear are the products of choice used by mold remediation professionals to remove and prevent mold growth in basements from coast to coast.

"Wow, bunkbeds!" Riker said as they were herded into their assigned room. It was less of a room and more of a long rock walled corridor with hundreds of bunks chiseled into the stone face of the cave. Amber didn't share Riker's enthusiasm, but she was thankful that her family was together, and had a place to sleep. She tried to ignore the fact that the place they would be sleeping was hundreds of meters below the surface of the Earth.
"Why don't you take the place of honor, buddy." Lawrence said to his boy. He pointed to the third level bunk and Riker's face lit up with an incredible enthusiasm. Amber admired his blind acceptance of their situation. She hugged the blankets they had been handed tight to her chest, not quite ready to let go of the meager comfort the embrace offered.
"This is awesome! I can touch the ceiling." He reached for the rock surface and ran his fingers over the rough hewn texture. "It's wet!" He was thrilled with the discovery; turing to his parents. "Why is it wet?"
"The rock wall is colder than the air in the cave. That makes the water vapor in the air condense on the surface," She said as she handed the blankets out to her two loved ones. She probably had spoke over his head, but she was too tired to think of a simpler way to say it. Riker latched on to one of the words with even more gusto than before.
"We are in a cave?" Riker asked. Amber looked to Lawrence, handing off the proverbial baton. She patted him on the shoulder letting him know she was going to crawl into her own bunk below her son's. Her husband leaned against the edge of the bed and continued chatted with Riker. She listened to their conversation for a few minutes as exhaustion washed over her.
The long chamber was filled with hundreds of other strangers, many of which were crawling into bunks of their own. She was too tired to care that the cave was full of noise. Within seconds she had drifted off to a deep dreaming sleep.
"Their calling your name," Lawrence said. Groggy, she sat up. A hard crack, and a flash of white lit up her vision for a split second. The bunk had almost zero clearance, and she had hit her head on the metal ceiling of her bed space. She squinted against the fluorescent tubes at the ceiling of the cave. She whipped at her eyes, trying to get a clear vision of the man standing over her.
"Amber, They've been calling your name on the loud speaker." Her husbands strong hands wrestled her from her groggy state. She was about to ask what he was talking about when she heard it.
"Amber Levy-Hope, please report to station zero." The flat voice said through an unseen speaker. The sound echoed down the stone hallway. She idly wondered if she pulled the blanket over her head, if the world would disappear. She rubbed the spot on her forehead where she had violently met the upper deck.
"What do they want?" Amber said, knowing as soon as the words escaped her mouth that it was a useless question. This place was made of secrets, why would she expect them to announce their purposes for calling for her.
"All I know is that you've being called to principal's office, and that was the third time they've made the announcement," Lawrence said. A wave of panic emanated out from her chest as she imagined what might be waiting for her at station zero. Lawrence leaned in and asked, "do you want me to come with you?"
"No, better stay here with our little explorer," She said. She didn't like the idea of splitting up, but if they slapped her in shackles and gave her forty lashes, she wouldn't want Riker to see it. Amber smiled and gave Lawrence a quick kiss as she rose from her bed, careful not to hit her head this time. She peered into Riker's bunk, where he was humming to himself. Laying on his back, he was running he fingers over the stone wall. Apparently he was still enamored with the rock.
"They called your name," he said distracted.
"I know, Honey. I'm going to go see what they want. Stay here with your dad, I'll be back in a while." She kissed him as well and began to make her way down the corridor. People were everywhere. Some snoozed in bunks, while other milled around the passageway. A lively group played a card game to pass the time. Amber walked by trying to calm her breathing.
She rounded the corner and took the east hallway. She had paid special attention to the path they had taken to get to the bunk chamber. As the sound of the bunk room faded into the background she fixated on the buzz of the tube lights overhead. The sterile white gush of illumination cast a thin veil of comfort over this otherwise treacherous world. She wondered what would happen if the power were knocked out. She imagined navigating these hallways in the dark as the oxygen levels dropped. Maybe leaving her family behind was a mistake.
Station Zero, she read to herself. The larger blue letters were impossible to miss. Everything, they had learned, was color coded in this subterranean bunker. Below the ominous title sat a station with a half dozen computer terminals. Behind each screen was a uniformed person. Most were keeping close watch on the multiple screens in front of them. She observed the activity for a few seconds, realizing that she would have to open her mouth and speak at some point.
She was about to approach the terminal cluster when a young man leaned over in his chair and reached for a small hand held device. As he spoke into it, the loud speaker overhead erupted with his annoying flat tone of speech.
"Amber Levy-Hope, please—"
"That's me," she nearly shouted. She couldn't stand the idea of hearing his voice over the speaker anymore. The loud speaker clicked off, and the young uniformed man turned toward her. She stepped forward as the man stepped out from behind the terminal. She saw from his uniform tag that his name was Max Black.
"Here you go," The Max said as he pulled something from under the spring loaded snap on his clip board. She reached for it with an expression of confusion on her face. "General said you need this." As simple as that Max turned and went back to whatever he had been doing. She looked down at the item in her hand. It was a badge.
"Thanks," She said without breaking her gave from the thin plastic ID. It had a clip that she could attach to her shirt. After studying the badge for a few seconds she was almost sure there was a mistake. "Hey." Max turned and gave her his attention.
"Yes Ma'am."
"I think this is a mistake," She said, which made Max step closer. "It says 'clearance level Red.' Shouldn't it be blue?" Max took the badge from her hand and compared it to his clipboard.
"It's correct," Max said. "Full access. Clearance level Red."
He handed it back and considered the badge for a long moment. She had seen about a hundred other badges of those who were now occupying the bunk quarters. She had paid special attention, since she had not badge of her own. All the other IDs she had seen were clearance level blue, standard access. Only the upper level brass had red.
She felt like she had stolen something and gotten away with it, except that the paper work showed she was supposed to have it. She chalked it up as a administrative mistake, clipped it to her shirt collar, and turned back the way she came. It felt good to have a badge finally. As she walked back toward the bunk quarters she heard her name being called again. This time it wasn't on the loud speaker, but it was the same voice. She turned to see Max, staring at her.
"Where are you going? Red zone is that way." Max pointed toward a corridor that was clearly off limits. It was marked with large red letters. Almost as if it were written in blood it read, restricted area. The nervousness was beginning to rise into her throat. This episode was apparently not over. She stepped cautiously toward the red letter hall way.
She pulled at the badge and extended it toward the security terminal next to the hatch. The door slid open as a green light illuminated the mechanism. She glanced back to Max with a question written across her face. Before she could ask he answered.
"We don't know anything," Max said. It wasn't reassuring. She had hoped to get more explanation. Was she about to step into an inquisition? Should she say bye to her family? Should she have fixed her hair? Be brave, she told herself as she stepped through the hatch. It closed behind her too violently.

Information, Technology, Security, and other stuff.
Published 2017-05-21
After moving from Ghost to Wyam, I was content with the way my blog was working, but something was still itching at the back of my mind.
The reason I didn't go to another blogging platform from Ghost was because I wanted to experience creating my own blog engine, mostly as a way to develop my own skills. Using Wyam I felt ended up being too easy, I felt I hadn't made it enough of a learning experience, so I started tinkering with a new ASP.NET MVC project.
I've been doing a lot more .NET dev work than normal over the past year, but the work I've done has been for large enterprise customers, and thus involves N-1 or N-2 versions of software (.NET 3.5, .NET 4.5, IIS 6, Java 6 & 7, even some webforms work sprinkled here and there). Whilst it's rewarding work, it can be prudent to at least do some external projects to keep sharpening the saw on newer tools, as well as push yourself out of your comfort zone.
And now here it is. I built this blog application as an MVC app on .NET 4.6.2 (Core might be the next version), and have been trying to keep the codebase as simple as possible. The theming and everything is exactly the same as what I had with Wyam, but now I'm:
The benefits I've found so far have been:
It hasn't been an entirely bump-free journey though, for instance:
This site is still static in some sense. It's not backed by any database; all the content is just a bunch of markdown files on the file system. To build it I:
I'm still making some final tweaks, but once I've done those and refactored it I'll publish the project to Github or Bitbucket so that you may use it if you're wanting to make your own blog engine.
I should mention too: Wyam is amazing. The effortlessness of building static sites with it is unparalled, and I don't want this post to be misconstrued as me ditching it because it's bad. It's a fantastic product, I'm just a sucker for self-inflicting punishment.

FSDT KIAH Houston: First Shots, Bout Time!/
FSX/P3D. And I really mean that because it truly is about time we got some shots of this airport. Truth be told, I was starting to get concerned about this team. Since YVR's release, announcements and previews has seemed to slow a bit with FSDreamteam and the first IAH shots are a breath of fresh air for the popular development company. There are only 2 shots for now but it's more than enough to denote just far along the team is. Great news and finally I can update the ADX Billboard. From the looks of things i's say by end of spring early summerish. Thanks to ADX Reader Dom Mason for the tipoff. Wait... Why does that name sound so familiar? Tap the source link.

Weight And See
Just wanted to share this a few weeks before things actually start going.
As with a lot of people I had set my mind to lose weight this year, a resolution for the new year. This was going to start last Sunday and would be a life change instead of a mind change. What I didn't really know was something exciting that my church will be doing that twas announced last Sunday as well.
The program is going to be called "Rebuilding Your Temple" and is what it says, a tearing down of the current me and a rebuilding of a new me. I did not start my own resolution last week because of this. Why? Because me losing weight may actually be able to benefit more than just me. In fact it could have spiritual ramifications in Romania.
The program is based on our human motivation, which sadly start with money, followed by competition then third is accountability to others. This program will have all of those, but not in a greedy and self centered way. The money will had from sponsors (maybe you) that will donate $1 (or more) per pound that I lose. The money will not be for me and from my understanding will be a donation to/ through my church - so it should be tax deductible. The competition is just amongst my church and for "bragging rights", which can be motivation stronger than money. Then there is the accountability which will be to the sponsors. Also another motivation for me will be knowing where this money will go and what it will be used for.
As of right now there are two places that are possible. The first is to Romania to an indigenous pastor that is seeking God in the area of church planting. The second is to my church to build a much needed new building, which has been on the back-burner for decades. Both of these present me with the knowledge that the Kingdom can and will be furthered by each pound that I lose. This will motivate me each time Reese's Cups cross my mind and will make me go a few more minutes on the treadmill each day.
My plans, as of right now, are to journal on my blog weekly during this 90 day period to update my progress. I will tell you how much I have lost, what things God has shown me through the week in the weight loss area, what (if anything) I have done that I shouldn't have (like eating fattening foods or skipped exercising). I want to be 100% accountable to anyone that feels the desire to sponsor this. At the end of the 90 days I will post before and after pictures to show just how God has worked in me to accomplish what I have failed at so many times before.
I feel really excited about this. It is weird though how we can't motivate ourselves purely for health reasons to get in shape and lose some pounds. I know that my eating habits have not glorified God and I do not uphold 1 Corinthians 10:31 very well. I am selfish in my eating and God is showing me that. I am focusing on Him through this for His strength instead of relying on my own willpower. I have lost weight before through my own ways and means, but never as a Christian. I want to live my life totally in God's will and this is a way I have not been doing so.
So, whoever stumbles upon this blog post, you did not end up here accidentally. I want to ask you to prayerfully consider sponsoring me for this endeavor. I ask that you covenant with me as I set on this path. I will be accountable to each and every person that sponsors me, which I need those questions of "How are you doing?" and "How can I pray for you today to reach the current goal?". I want to know that I am getting healthy and that lives can be changed through your sponsorship dollars. If you are led to donate more than $1/ pound please do so. Maybe Bill Gates or Donald Trump will stumble upon this and sponsor for much more. But, I will hold every person in the same light as my partners through this. Maybe even a Sunday school class or church. I will say that I have a goal for the 90 days of 60 pounds and for a total of 80 all together.
So please prayerfully consider this sponsorship. I will add updates after our meetings that will establish just how this is going to work. The first meeting is on Jan. 20th, so I will update on the program then. Please feel free to leave a message here or send me an email to email@example.com with "Rebuild Your Temple" in the subject line. I also would appreciate your prayer sponsorship through this, which will be just as important as monetary sponsorship. Thank you as we set out on this endeavor.... together.
