Bach composed his oratorio for the Feast of the Ascension in Leipzig in 1735. Though this work has the duration of a cantata, the choice of text places it among the oratorios. It combines the biblical account of the Ascension with chorales and free madrigal poems.
As in other works which were composed during this same year (e.g. the "Christmas Oratorio"), Bach reveals a special fondness for colourful orchestration, with two flutes, two oboes, three trumpets, timpani and strings, creating a splendid Baroque sound with a strikingly festive character. This edition is based on the thoroughly researched musical text from the "New Bach Edition".
- Lavishly scored oratorio of a festive nature
- Based on the "New Bach Edition"
- Bilingual foreword by Andreas Glöckner (Ger/Eng)

Tourism translations services includes:
- translations relating to leisure activities
- translations relating to holidays
- translations relating to sports
- translations relating to tourist attractions
- translations relating to holiday accommodation
- and so on
The language used in tourism might lead one to believe that it is less technical than other fields. However, tourist documents have to be accurately translated. Actually, the terms used in the field of tourism have their own specific technical nature.
Therefore, it is important for the translator to be an expert in the field in which he is translating.
Whether in the source language or in his/her mother tongue, it is essential for the translator to have a full grasp of: seasonality, tourist terms, tourist spots and expressions which attract and appeal to holidaymakers…
Furthermore, it is very easy to notice that when someone tackles a subject of which they do not have a full grasp, terms get mixed up and descriptions are muddled.
So, it is important for a translation on the subject of tourism to be handled by a translator who has full mastery of this topic, it being his preferred field.
This is why we select our translators based not only on their experience but above all on their field of expertise.
Numerous tourist boards (Tourist Offices, Departmental Tourist Boards, Regional Tourist Boards, etc.) and large advertising corporations put their trust in our translation services for the high quality and speed with which we work.
We offer you:
- translation of theme-based websites
- translation of tourist guides
- translation of presentation booklets
- translation of tourist accommodation catalogues
- translation of brochures
- translation of restaurant menus
- translation of service descriptions
- and so on.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – We've heard many sister stories before — stories of human interest, of success, of conflict. But nothing of the magnitude of a sister relationship gone sour over career. And it could only happen in the Philippines.
Enter Pia Hontiveros. A familiar face and voice on CNN Philippines. She has established herself as a no-nonsense news anchor with many labeling her as the Anderson Cooper of the Philippines.
Then comes Risa Hontiveros, former Congresswoman and newly-elected senator. A former journalist herself, Risa brands herself as a social activist trying to make a name for herself as a fearless politician out to challenge the status quo, and the Duterte administration.
In recent weeks, Risa has championed the "Never Again" movement, personally distributing anti-Marcos books ( well, one book that is — the one authored by Raissa Robles) in schools. In response to the Davao City bombing, Risa has criticized President Duterte's declaration of a "state of lawlessness," saying that the military and police cannot run the country.
Now, how is Pia supposed to objectively report on the news when the main character is her sister? She is conflicted. She know about 'conflict of interest,' and she understands about credibility.
So today, she made a very difficult decision to publicly call upon her senator sister to resign so that she can freely report on the news.
But Risa has her own idea: "Why doesn't Pia resign as CNN anchor," she asked.
Well, if both of them resigned, their story would make for a great Oscar-winning movie. Perhaps the first ever Oscar Best Picture for the Philippines!

I remember one holiday ten years ago, thinking "I'll keep this simple and faith-focused." Then I thought of the flute and the violin and the sewing machine and the new guinea pig that my children would love—along with a raft of stuff that was unnecessary and over-much.
I could feel the pull between wanting to offer love-laden gifts, fueling my girls' talents—and over-indulging. How easy the world slips in, and holidays, or "holy days" are tainted by too many things. That year—though we had a warm time and felt and shared our love and God's in many ways—I still wanted to take visqueen and duct tape and put it over the need-to-get-stuff basket forever.
I don't think I'm alone. Many of us have had long lists of shopping items for holiday meals, lists of gifts for some holidays, spent time looking for inexpensive flights and special deals, the right décor, or known the overwhelming feeling of holiday craziness.
Certain stress, though, is self-inflicted and often revealing. It happens when we place things over people, stretch beyond our means or worry that our means are never enough, or strive to people-please rather than to genuinely serve or meet a need (see 2 Corinthians 3:5). What we crave most is connection, not things. Holidays are about people—not stuff. So it's good to remind ourselves and "renew our minds" about what matters and what does not (see Romans 12). As we do, we will seek less to fill our minds and stockings with things that do not satisfy (Isaiah 55:2).
Here are 5 ideas that have spurred me on to focus more on people, not things, during the holidays—gems from my own and others' experiences.
1. Slow down
C.S. Lewis reminds us that "the future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is." And Kissinger said, teasing about over-planning, "There cannot be a crisis next week. My schedule is already full." We laugh. We relate. Sometimes we slip into a gear that is too high for too long. Psalms 31:14-15 reminds us of another pace, a pace set as we count on faith, trust in and rely on the Lord and look to Him in our plans to bless others and build lives, not just to create pandemonium: "I trusted in You, O Lord. You are my God. My times are in your hands." With God in mind and allowing Him control, we may be less inclined to micromanage everything and to overdo to satisfy others rather than glorify Him through serving others.
2. Embrace imperfect
Sometimes we have rigid expectations that straight-jacket us, like Tigger in Pooh Party who loses joy as he fusses to over-orchestrate it. We can become so focused on "the schedule" and what we're doing next (How will I get the turkey done at the same time as the casserole or the chairs out before the next set of guests arrive?) that we miss the party or are locked out by our emotional absence or sense of distraction. It can happen to all of us—but being aware and being present; allowing others to help; allowing messes in our tidy home; having children get in the kitchen and create a traditional family recipe; and making memories, can enable a closeness and focus on each other, rather than on externals and performances.
3. Think of the gifts you remember most
For me, it was the CD that my daughter and her friends created from a simple set of Christmas lyrics I'd written, or a piece of used furniture my son-in-law personally painted for me. Another was a small special notebook that another daughter wrote in each night for months, penning a thought from her day, and then wrapping and sharing it with me. That 3×5 notebook holds a kept place in my heart and my nightstand. Additionally, some of my fondest memories include sitting around the fire or lit-up-tree talking or playing word or picture games with family, reminiscing, having late night snacks and sitting around in our PJs.
Reflecting on the memories that have meant the most to you and that have reflected faith, hope, and love can light up your life during the holidays and can help you deflect the messages of the media and the commercialism around the holidays. We're either impacted by the Word, which moves us to lift and stirs our faith, or by the world, which strives to weigh us down and dilute our faith by pushing our fleeting want button.
4. Give purposeful and time-centered gifts
When the holiday involves gifting, reconsider giving things that can influence a person's character, forward their life purpose and gifts, and not that satisfy yourself or eliminate old gifts in your recycle stash. People can feel the spirit behind our giving. A subscription to an interest magazine, tickets to a special event that will be long-remembered, setting up a time to have dinner together or providing a certificate for teaching your loved one or friend a skill you have, can personalize a gift and replace the last-minute desperate search for that tawdry plastic-laden gizmo that doesn't fit on the kitchen counter or in the cabinet anyway. Gift-giving doesn't need to take on a life of its own—it exists to reflect our love and the love of the Source of all love.
A Cornell psychologist and consumer researcher, Thomas Gilovich, says that new things are exciting to us at first, but then the novelty soon wanes. So rather than buying the latest model car, or newest tech gadget, he suggests we know more happiness spending money on experiences like attending concerts, engaging in in-or-outdoor recreational activities, conversation, developing a new skill, or sight-seeing. "Our experiences are a bigger part of ourselves than our material goods," says Gilovich. He adds: "You can really like your material stuff. You can even think that part of your identity is connected to those things, but nonetheless, they remain separate from you. In contrast, your experiences really are part of you. We are the sum total of our experiences." Giving experiences is a way to invest in the future of your relationship with someone. Consider ways you can do so this holiday season.
5. Consider the less fortunate
For those who love giving, considering the less fortunate is a daily affair. Yet the holidays provide additional opportunities to render special service to those who might be lonely or disadvantaged. As KidsHealth.org records,
A group of friends in a Vermont snowboard squad like to go to their local homeless shelter and give the homeless a day to remember. They begin preparing at the start of the snow season by asking people who come to the mountain to bring old winter gear like jackets, boots, gloves, and hats. Then the group visits the shelter to distribute the gear — along with a little extra. Says Jay, 18, one of the organizers, "'We tell them, 'Now you guys are coming with us and we're going to teach you how to ski or snowboard all day for free.'" It's awesome to know that we are able to take their minds off the stress in their lives for one day.
Observe and seek out your own ways of serving and giving to those who need comfort, strength, or relief consistently, including during the holiday season. It helps to match your gifts and talents with a need in your community. You can also choose a fund to donate to as a gift to those in need.
Serving others diminishes our own need to want more ourselves. Happiness expert and University of Illinois psychology professor, Ed Diener, said, "Materialism can lead to chronic feelings of dissatisfaction. It is open-ended and goes on forever—we can always want more, which is usually not true of others goals such as friendship."
Perhaps each of these ideas can help us engage a different mindset in relationship to giving, material things, holidays, and happiness. One spiritual leader says it succinctly: True happiness comes only by making others happy." With that in mind, and our hearts full of abundance and gratitude for the gifts of life and hope given us by our Creator, we can reach out to serve with real holiday spirit.

Port of Oakland
A major environmental as well as economical debate surrounds the City of Oakland's opening its port for Utah coal that would eventually be exported to overseas, specifically to American-based power plants installed in parts of Asia and Latin America. Activists concerned with the City of Oakland's participation in climate change in the long term as well as the problems Oakland would face immediately with nearby resident's exposure to the toxic dust. On the other hand, other Oakland residents see this as an opportunity for the creation of jobs as well as an economic boost to both Oakland and the Utah coal industry. Utah has invested in the development of Oakland port in order to develop Oakland's capacity in receiving goods in bulk quickly and in large volumes. Economists argue that this exchange will bring potential surplus of other non-toxic goods (e.g. potash, hay, grains and salt) as well as and financial surplus. Environmentalists have been pushing back this proposal as angry street demonstrations have been taking place since earlier in 2015. The Army Base is considered city property under law, which gives those opposed to the proposal agency in having the Oakland City Council stop the project. Decisions are expected early December.

Local, self-taught, anything to do with water.
Growing up in Charleston, I've always have spent time on the water. I've spent my life swimming, surfing, sailing and always drawing.
Later I learned to professionally build surfboards. They are a very unique medium unto themselves. Airbrushing, shaping and making all kinds of mess with fiberglass and resin is the day to day business of a surfboard factory. Now I'm learning about paint as a medium. I just completed adding a studio on to my house. It has great natural light and is good place to create and make a mess. I find fluctuating between precision and abandon yield the best results.

I met a lad on the internet about 4 years ago and i have been talking to him since then, i got to know him really well, he lives in newcastle and i live in manchester so its quite a ling way away. he is the same age as me, 16. we talked about meeting a few times but we never did.
anyway...he told me that he had got tickets for a coldplay concert in manchester, and did i want to go with him..i was really excited about meeting him for the first time, finally persuaded my parents to let me go, i had a really great time, when i first saw him i thought i really really like him, and we talked all night and the next day.
that was one week ago and i am missing him like crazy, sounds stupid having only met him once, but i think i love him and he loves me. the problem is that my parents are not taking this seriously, they seem to think its just a joke and cant accept that i really like him. they wont let me get the train up to newcastle to see him, they dont really like me talking to him all the time. they are making it really difficult...what i am asking is can a long distance thing like this work, even with my parents against it so we cant see each other as often as we like? im scared i will lose him because he will get fed up with all the hassle, even though he's said he wont.
sorry if i have gone on a bit...but i really need some advice

No. 1010, Rev. D CAT28LV64 Byte Write DEVICE OPERATION A write cycle is executed when both CE and WE are low, and OE is high. Write cycles can be initiated using either WE or CE, with the address input being latched on the falling edge of WE or CE, whichever occurs last. Data, conversely, is latched on the rising edge of WE or CE, whichever occurs first. Once initiated, a byte write cycle automatically erases the addressed byte and the new data is written within 5 ms. Read Data stored in the CAT28LV64 is transferred to the data bus when WE is held high, and both OE and CE are held low. The data bus is set to a high impedance state when either CE or OE goes high. This 2-line control architecture can be used to eliminate bus contention in a system environment. Figure 3.

A tDH 6 CAT28LV64 Page Write (which can be loaded in any order) during the first and subsequent write cycles. Each successive byte load cycle must begin within tBLC MAX of the rising edge of the preceding WE pulse. There is no page write window limitation as long as WE is pulsed low within tBLC MAX. The page write mode of the CAT28LV64 (essentially an extended BYTE WRITE mode) allows from 1 to 32 bytes of data to be programmed within a single EEPROM write cycle. This effectively reduces the byte-write time by a factor of 32. Upon completion of the page write sequence, WE must stay high a minimum of tBLC MAX for the internal automatic program cycle to commence. This programming cycle consists of an erase cycle, which erases any data that existed in each addressed cell, and a write cycle, which writes new data back into the cell. A page write will only write data to the locations that were addressed and will not rewrite the entire page. Following an initial WRITE operation (WE pulsed low, for tWP, and then high) the page write mode can begin by issuing sequential WE pulses, which load the address and data bytes into a 32 byte temporary buffer. The page address where data is to be written, specified by bits A5 to A12, is latched on the last falling edge of WE. Each byte within the page is defined by address bits A0 to A4 Figure 5.

A CAT28LV64 DATA Polling Toggle Bit DATA polling is provided to indicate the completion of write cycle. Once a byte write or page write cycle is initiated, attempting to read the last byte written will output the complement of that data on I/O7 (I/O0–I/O6 are indeterminate) until the programming cycle is complete. Upon completion of the self-timed write cycle, all I/O's will output true data during a read cycle. In addition to the DATA Polling feature, the device offers an additional method for determining the completion of a write cycle. While a write cycle is in progress, reading data from the device will result in I/O6 toggling between one and zero. However, once the write is complete, I/O6 stops toggling and valid data can be read from the device. Figure 7. DATA Polling ADDRESS CE WE tOEH tOES tOE OE tWC I/O7 DIN = X DOUT = X DOUT = X Figure 8.

D 8 CAT28LV64 HARDWARE DATA PROTECTION (4) Noise pulses of less than 20 ns on the WE or CE inputs will not result in a write cycle. The following is a list of hardware data protection features that are incorporated into the CAT28LV64. SOFTWARE DATA PROTECTION (1) VCC sense provides for write protection when VCC falls below 2.0V min. The CAT28LV64 features a software controlled data protection scheme which, once enabled, requires a data algorithm to be issued to the device before a write can be performed. The device is shipped from Catalyst with the software protection NOT ENABLED (the CAT28LV64 is in the standard operating mode). (2) A power on delay mechanism, tINIT (see AC characteristics), provides a 5 to 10 ms delay before a write sequence, after VCC has reached 2.40V min. (3) Write inhibit is activated by holding any one of OE low, CE high or WE high. Figure 9.

Writing to addresses must occur within tBLC Max., after SDP activation. 9 Doc. No. 1010, Rev. D CAT28LV64 To activate the software data protection, the device must be sent three write commands to specific addresses with specific data (Figure 9). This sequence of commands (along with subsequent writes) must adhere to the page write timing specifications (Figure 11). Once this is done, all subsequent byte or page writes to the device must be preceded by this same set of write commands. The data protection mechanism is activated until a deactivate sequence is issued regardless of power on/off transitions. This gives the user added inadvertent write protection on power-up in addition to the hardware protection provided. To allow the user the ability to program the device with an EEPROM programmer (or for testing purposes) there is a software command sequence for deactivating the data protection. The six step algorithm (Figure 10) will reset the internal protection circuitry, and the device will return to standard operating mode (Figure 12 provides reset timing). After the sixth byte of this reset sequence has been issued, standard byte or page writing can commence. Figure 11.

|Motorola Talkabout T465 Rechargeable Two-Way Radio
Motorola's Talkabout T465 package contains two units, two rechargeable batteries, two wall-charging accessories, two ear buds with microphones, and manuals; everything is contained inside a carry case. Each radio unit measures at 7.54-inch H x 2.26-inch W x 1.37-inch D, and it weighs 0.43 lbs with battery.
Talkabout T465 can reach a maximum transmission range of 35 miles in mountains or valleys, up to 6 miles in open water environment, or 2 miles in a neighborhood.
Obstructions like terrains, interferences, and weather should be put into account indeed, but the range will suffice in most situations while you are in the wild.
If necessary, you can turn on the PTT (Push-To-Talk) power boost function which will increase transmission power to extend range.
The units are IP54 rated, meaning it can stand against ingress of dust and splashes of water. Each also has built-in LED flashlight, emergency alert button, and keypad lock.
Another thing that makes it an ideal communication tool for hunter is battery life. The radio is powered by either rechargeable NiMH (included) or 3 AA batteries.
Battery life in expected to reach up to 10 hours when using the rechargeable one, but the non-rechargeable type can keep the radio running for up to 26 hours.
When in idle state, the radio only consumes half watt of power and it also preserves battery life when power boost is not required. The micro-USB charger can be plugged into an outlet, a USB port on a computer/laptop, or a vehicle adaptor.
It offers 22 channels and 121 privacy codes, allowing for a total combination of 2,662 channels. By using the scanning feature, the radio will find all channels that are currently in use.
In addition, Talkabout T465 also has weather channel provided by NOAA service to initiate weather alerts. On its left side, there in orange emergency button which when pressed will transmit a siren and incidental sounds that alert others.
It is an instant way to ask for help during emergency situation. It is possible to filter out transmission from non-Motorola radios, a feature that's useful in a crowded area or busy radio traffic for examples in tourism resorts or parks.
However, Talkabout T465 maintains compatibility with any FRS/GMRS radio of any brand as long as the same channel and privacy codes are used on the connected devices.
For hunters, the VibraCall function helps to stay quiet while communicating in the wild. Instead of tunes, the feature switches to vibration so you still know when someone is trying to reach you without triggering intrusive sounds.
You can set an automatic unique tone anytime you finish talking so you don't have to say "over" or "roger" repeatedly. The included ear buds also function as microphones, allowing you to have hands-free communication.
Even when you don't use the ear bud, iVOX lets the radio transfer your voice as you speak without any prior activation. Other features include user-customizable call tones and low-battery alert.

Richard Pitino leaving UofL for FIU
Richard Pitino leaving UofL for FIU
Florida International has called a Monday afternoon news conference to introduce Richard Pitino as its basketball coach.
He is the son of Louisville coach Rick Pitino and spent this past season as the associate head coach on his father's staff, helping the Cardinals reach the Final Four.
At FIU, Richard Pitino will replace Isiah Thomas. The Basketball Hall of Fame player was fired by the Panthers on April 6 after going 26-65 in three seasons.
Terms of the contract were not immediately released, though as a public university FIU will eventually have to make them available.
Rick Pitino confirmed the move Sunday, saying that he was "delighted" for his 29-year-old son. Richard Pitino will be a head coach for the first time.

Most of the time, Molly knows it's her attitude that's the problem, but after being shipped from one family to another, she's had her fair share of adults treating her like an inconvenience. So when Molly's forced to help an elderly woman clean out her attic for community service, Molly is wary. Just another adult to treat her like a troublemaker.
But from the very moment they meet, Molly realizes that Vivian, a well-off ninety-one-year-old, isn't like any of the adults she's encountered before. Vivian asks Molly questions about her life and actually listens when Molly responds. Molly soon sees they have more in common than she thought. Vivian was once an orphan, too–an Irish immigrant to New York City who was put on a train to the Midwest with hundreds of other children–and she can understand, better than anyone else, the emotional binds that have been making Molly's life so hard. Together, they not only clear boxes of past mementos from Vivian's attic, but forge a path of friendship, forgiveness, and new beginnings for their future.
February 27, 2018: Masterminds by Gordon Korman
The first book in the action-packed series from New York Times bestselling author Gordon Korman is perfect for young fans of James Patterson and John Grisham.
Eli Frieden lives in the most perfect town in the world: Serenity, New Mexico. Honesty and integrity are valued above all else. The thirty kids who live there never lie–they know it's a short leap from that to the awful problems of other, less fortunate places.
Eli has never left Serenity . . . why would he ever want to? Then one day, he bikes to the edge of the city limits and something so crazy and unexpected happens, it changes everything. Eli convinces his friends to help him investigate further, and soon it becomes clear that nothing is as it seems in Serenity. The clues mount to reveal a shocking discovery, connecting their ideal crime-free community to some of the greatest criminal masterminds ever known.
The kids realize they can trust no one–least of all their own parents.
March 27, 2018: A Night Divided by Jennifer A. Nielson
From New York Times bestselling author Jennifer A. Nielsen comes a stunning thriller about a girl who must escape to freedom after the Berlin Wall divides her family between east and west.
With the rise of the Berlin Wall, twelve-year-old Gerta finds her family divided overnight. She, her mother, and her brother Fritz live on the eastern side, controlled by the Soviets. Her father and middle brother, who had gone west in search of work, cannot return home. Gerta knows it is dangerous to watch the wall, to think forbidden thoughts of freedom, yet she can't help herself. She sees the East German soldiers with their guns trained on their own citizens; she, her family, her neighbors and friends are prisoners in their own city.
But one day, while on her way to school, Gerta spots her father on a viewing platform on the western side, pantomiming a peculiar dance. Then, when she receives a mysterious drawing, Gerta puts two and two together and concludes that her father wants Gerta and Fritz to tunnel beneath the wall, out of East Berlin. However, if they are caught, the consequences will be deadly. No one can be trusted. Will Gerta and her family find their way to freedom?

Crow has always been curious about the world around her, but it isn't until the night a mysterious fire appears across the water that the unspoken question of her own history forms in her heart. Soon, an unstoppable chain of events is triggered, leading Crow down a path of discovery and danger.
Vivid and heart-wrenching, Lauren Wolk's Beyond the Bright Sea is a gorgeously crafted and tensely paced tale that explores questions of identity, belonging, and the true meaning of family.

It's 2017!!!
My New Years resolution is to stop looking back and to look forward, to stop missing who I lost and appreciate who I have, most importantly to be happy. Life has many little moments when you know exactly what is important and my resolution this year is to remember those things through out the year and never take them for granted.
Being a girl with a incurable disease it is often scary and even upsetting to begin a new year, looking to the future is not something I like to do because no matter how many good things come my way in the future I will always have the promise of my body getting sicker, and that is something nothing can make better.
Even though nothing can make my disease easier to live with, I love to try to find things that make it more enjoyable to be a couch potato. I love to watch movies, it's my way of escaping my difficult life for a little while. I also eat so much chocolate that my husband has assigned me a chocolate drawer next to my couch so I can have easy access to chocolate while I watch movies, it sounds kinda pathetic, but sadly that is my life.
Fun fact: When we're down or stressed, a hit of that sweet stuff can make us feel better. Previous studies have shown that chocolate increases serotonin levels in the brain, the same mood-enhancing chemical that the SSRIs, a widely used type of antidepressant, work on.
For Christmas my husband and I went to Salem, Oregon to spend time with his family, we got to see snow!! It was so pretty, I just wanted to share the picture I took.

Hi Everyone,
We've been talking about creating our healthy pantries this week, and tonight will probably be the most controversial so far. Pretty much everyone eats the staples that we talked about earlier in the week, and everyone eats (or should be eating) at least some vegetables, even if you don't love ALL vegetables. But tonight, we are going to talk about meat, eggs, fish, and other animal sources of protein along with some traditional vegetarian sources of protein.
I know some of you are not meat eaters. My vegan and vegetarian friends, I hope you will substitute your own healthy protein sources for the meat. It's okay if you don't like meat, too. Some body types do better without meat in their diets. It's really a matter of preference. But, please realize that we all need a good protein source in order to fuel our muscles and keep us strong. This page is very supportive of different diets, and whether you eat paleo, primal, vegan, vegetarian, traditional (like Weston Price) doesn't really matter as long as you are eating real foods of the best quality, and feeling good and healthy eating the way you have chosen. I'd also llike to point out that it's very natural for people to follow a particular theory for a few years – let's pick on the vegan diet here for a minute – and suddenly start craving animal products or feeling like you need to change the way you eat. That's okay, too. At some point, you may feel like you need to change the foods you eat. This is the body's way of telling you it needs something different. Listen to what your body is telling you; it's never wrong!
I eat meat; I enjoy eating meat, and I really don't feel great if I leave the animal protein out of my diet for too long. I can eat a primarily vegetarian diet for a few days, but then I typically start feeling kind of weak and shaky…and REALLY hungry! Even when I include lots of plant proteins, I can't sustain that way of eating for very long. But, what about all the stuff in the news about how unhealthy meat is, and all of the bad publicity about feed lot meat? Those things really make me rethink whether I want to eat meat, and I can say with certainty if I could only access regular grocery store meat and animal products, I would NOT eat it.
So, when I talk about our healthy pantry, keep in mind that I am not talking about THAT meat. I am talking about locally raised meat that is coming from farms that raise animals without feeding them GMO laden feed – grass fed beef, pastured chickens, pigs raised on natural foods like vegetable scraps. I also recommend wild game if you have a hunter in your family, and wild caught fish from clean waters, fished using sustainable methods. We eat lots of eggs from pastured chickens. These are an excellent source of protein, and are relatively budget-friendly. If you are not a meat eater, or if you eat it rarely, you will need some good plant-based sources of protein like beans, quinoa, kale and other green leafies, and peanut butter. Again, look for organic sources. The list that follows is what I would have in my healthy freezer, but I'm including a few that are full of wonderful nutrients but we don't eat, in particular, organ meats. However, if you like them, you should definitely eat them because they are so nutrient dense. I know that some people like soy as a protein; however, I really don't recommend soy because of the effects it can have on your hormones, and because it is one of the most heavily GMO contaminated crops. Avoid processed lunch meats, too, even the stuff that claims to be healthy – low sodium, low fat turkey breast is still processed. Roast a turkey and slice the breast for sandwiches. It will taste so much better, and the nutritional value will be much higher.
- Beef roasts (for the crockpot)
- Beef steaks
- Ground meat (for meatsauce, meatloaf, grilled bugers, etc)
- Various cuts of chicken
- Ground turkey (for homemade turkey breakfast sausage)
- Pork chops and roasts
- Beef bones (for broth)
- Nitrate and nitrite free ham, bacon, keilbasa, etc
- Pastured, organic eggs
- Liver
- Salmon
- Canned tuna
- Beans (make sure you soak them!0
- Kale and other leafy greens
- Quinoa (a high protein seed)
- Greek yogurt
Again, I cannot stress enough how important it is to find meat from a clean source. Get to know your local farmers. Most of this meat is less expensive than in the grocery store because you have the ability to buy in bulk. Buying a half or quarter cow is usually much more economical than buying a roast from the store over time. With this list, you have enough meat to make tons of main dishes, casseroles, soups and stews, dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Whether you grill, roast, or slow cook, you will find a million different ways to prepare meat and stretch your food dollars by using leftovers in different types of dishes. Use your plant proteins in abundance as well to acheive a well-rounded diet.
If you aren't a meat-eater, don't worry, you can substitute healthy plant based proteins, but certainly avoid processed vegetarian freezer products. You can make amazing veggie burgers from scratch that will satisfy any appetite! And, you'll know exactly what's in it.
Tomorrow night, we'll discuss dairy (more controversy, I know). Next week we'll start looking at ways to eat healthy on a budget. There is nothing more frustrating than wanting to improve your health through diet only to find that you can't afford the foods on the list. I've found some really simple ways around that problem that have made it much easier to fit good, clean food into my budget. Hope you all have a wonderful night!

The Providence City Council is expected to vote on the new city budget tonight. The $376 million proposal includes an increase in spending for the city's schools.
If passed, the increase will be the first in seven years. The budget proposes a hike of $3.6 will bring Providence City spending on schools to more than $120 million.
That may sound like a drop in the bucket, but it comes as state spending on city schools is set to flat line, and federal money has fallen significantly in the last several years.
Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza says this initial increase will help the city make the case for more state dollars.
"It puts us in a much better position as we're advocating in following years at the statehouse," Elorza explained. "We have a leg to stand on. We're making these investments because it's a priority to us, and it makes our argument that much stronger, when we're asking the state to make additional investments."
The state is set to provide more than $200 million in support to Providence Public Schools this year.
Note: Rhode Island Public Radio's John Bender visits DelSesto Middle School to see how additional funding could be used by Providence schools.

Lopes (1380/90 - c.1460) was appointed royal chronicler in 1434 by King Duarte of Portugal (1391-1438). Prior to that, there is every reason to believe he wrote the chronicles of every Portuguese king since the foundation of the monarchy (12th cent.) by order of the then Prince Duarte. Only the three last chronicles, however, have survived complete and are unquestionably considered to form his work today. It was also Prince Duarte who appointed him as keeper of the Royal Archive in 1418.
The chronicles of the three reigns prior to King Duarte embrace a period of West European history from 1357 to 1411 and offer a wealth of information not only on internal but also on external affairs. The content of the chronicles is of particular interest to medievalists studying this eventful period because it offers additional information and commentary to that found in the Castilian and French chronicles of Pero López de Ayala or Jean Froissart, widely held as the main primary sources for the period.
Fernão Lopes is recognized as the father of Portuguese historiography. The magnitude of his work, his research methodology, the precision invested in registering complex events, the range of information and perspectives offered, combined with the deliberate narrative structure and techniques he adopted to fulfill his task, clearly mark him as one of the most interesting chroniclers of the late Middle Ages. Lopes even shares and discusses his concerns as an historian in the Prologue to the Crónica de D. João I, part I.
Distinctive in Lopes's narrative is the frequency with which he emphasizes the role of the people, reflecting their experiences, either as center-stage heroes or as a cleverly manipulated force, though always noble in intention. This identification with popular intervention in the dynastic revolution in 1383-1385, considered by Jaime Cortesão (Factores Democráticos na Fundação de Portugal, 1978) to be the first democratic heartbeat in Portugal and in feudal Western Europe is, moreover, absent in Ayala's and Froissart's work. The former was a courtier coming from a major aristocratic family in Castile, and the latter was a clergyman more enthralled by the spirit of chivalry than with the task of writing a chronicle representing all layers of medieval society. Lopes, however, came from a family of artisans in Lisbon. His professional training as a notary and fulfillment of duties as librarian to Prince Duarte, as well as private secretary to Prince Fernando, led to his promotion, first to keeper of the Archives and then to royal chronicler.
Despite its peripheral location in the south-western corner of Europe, Portugal had a more significant role in the continent than is generally acknowledged. Peter Russell, who used Lopes's chronicles in his volume analyzing the presence of the English in the Iberian Peninsula, endorses this point (The English Intervention in Spain and Portugal in the time of Edward III and Richard II. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1955). Russell points out the importance of Fernão Lopes's views to improve our perception of the events in the region at this time.
Through Lopes's account, the modern reader learns of stratagems used in secret diplomatic missions, like receiving foreign emissaries in the queen's chambers, which offered more closely guarded privacy. This detail and Queen Leonor Teles's struggle for power offers opportunities for research in Women and Social Studies. Lopes is acquainted with John of Gaunt's daughter Philippa, the negotiations for her marriage to João I of Portugal, her religious influence, and the care invested into her learning of the language and affairs of her new country. Philippa was one of the best educated women in Europe. References to public health and epidemics, especially during the three-month-long siege of Lisbon, and to military theory, strategy and tactics will also interest the medieval scholar. The contribution to military studies goes beyond the usual description of armor and combats. It focuses upon the battle ground chosen or forced upon the enemy, battle formation, and logistics, including health concerns for the well-being and better performance of a strong and fit army. King João I's ironic reference to the heroes of the Round Table in order to criticize the poor performance of his followers at the siege of Coria bears witness to the popularity of Arthurian literature in Portugal. On the other hand, the gruesome account of the execution of Inês de Castro's murderers at the hands of King Pedro, followed by the criticism directed at him and the King of Castile "by all noblemen who heard of it" and considered it an act of great infamy, explains the impact it had upon people's imagination inside and outside Portugal. It has inspired authors as geographically and chronologically distanced from the event as Victor Hugo in the nineteenth century and even the American composer Thomas Pastieri whose opera Ines de Castro premiered in 1976 with the Baltimore Opera.
In fact, it is difficult to find an aspect of medieval life not represented in Lopes's chronicles. He had access to a vast number of documents collected inside and outside Portugal, including Ayala's chronicles of the kings of Castile, which he criticizes for being excessively biased, and to several Portuguese narratives now lost, apart from letters and other official writings. Lopes combined these sources with personal details gathered from interviews with witnesses of many events, to compose what he presents as a truthful image of the age.
About Fernão Lopes and his Chronicles
Lopes (1380/90 - c.1460) was appointed royal chronicler in 1434 by King Duarte of Portugal (1391-1438). Prior to that, there is every reason to believe he wrote the chronicles of every Portuguese king since the foundation of the monarchy (12th cent.) by order of the then Prince Duarte. Only the three last chronicles, however, have survived complete and are unquestionably considered to form his work today. It was also Prince Duarte who appointed him as keeper of the Royal Archive in 1418.
