Greetings, dear readers, and today there is something special that I want to talk to you about, Lately there has been a huge community outcry regarding the state of the standard format, especially concerning jade druid, and since everyone and their grandmothers are giving their opinions on this I guess that it is just fitting to give you my opinion on the state of the meta. I understand that jade golem is a huge problem right now and that it needs to be properly fixed, but I would also love to know why is it such a problem and have the problem fixed in a way that doesn't kill the entire deck (which sometimes seems like an impossible mission for the developers). I'll give you my opinion on the troublesome cards and how would I fix this problem.
With all that out of the way, sit back, relax and let's just jump into this 🙂
This disclaimer is being added after this article has been written.
I wrote this article before the nerf was announced, but I still want to share it with you because I want to walk you through my though process. Regarding the nerf, I think that the developers have unnecessarily killed off warrior as a class, which is quite stupid if you ask me, and that the nerf to shaman was completely uncalled for. Regarding the jade situation, the nerfs to the druid were simply not enough to keep the jade druid away and I do expect even more jade druid on the ladder, especially now when pirate warrior, the deck that was keeping it in check, was nerfed to the ground. These are my opinions on the nerf and regardless of them I still hope that you will enjoy the rest of the article 🙂
The Current Meta
So, it has been about a month since the release of the latest expansion and the community has been more outraged than back in the days of pirate warrior domination. I must say that, as someone who doesn't play standard, I did not feel the sudden impact of jade druid. The deck is very powerful in the standard format but I've had next to no problem with it on the wild ladder. This is good, at least in my opinion, because when you compare it to another dominating deck like pirate warrior, for example, you don't see that much jade druid in the wild format. There never were that many there but pirate warrior, the last troublesome deck, is running rampant. If anything I can be glad that Blizzard managed not to ruin both formats at the same time and that I probably won't have to deal with jade druids once they rotate out of the format. I'm getting carried away, time to get back on the track.
Now, someone who is going to read this, at least a single person, is going to say "But Ive ran into tons of jade druid on the wild ladder, you're lying." and I've got an explanation for that as well. The common occurrence of jade druid on the wild ladder is due to its popularity in the standard format. This happens every time and with each expansion. Not many people stick to exclusively to the wild format. In fact it is quite the opposite from it. Due to this, many standard players who delve into the wild format from time to time don't have wild decks and they are just using whatever works best in the standard format at the moment which is, in this case, jade druid. In summary, no, the current common occurrence of jade druid in the wild format is not a sign of "this deck is op in both formats" but it is simply because people don't know what to play so they are using their standard decks. It happens all the time.
However, today we're not going to talk about the wild format. That format is doing fine. Today we're going to be shifting our focus to the standard format because that one has been going downhill lately for everyone who doesn't enjoy jade druid mirror matches. The situation has become so dire that, for a period of time, jade druid did overthrown the famous undertaker hunter in terms of popularity. Of course, people had immediately overreacted without taking into consideration that this is simply because it is the start of the new format, it the best deck and people always jump the boat and join the best deck train. Regardless, we can't underestimate the popularity of jade druid because, for the first time ever, Ben Brode went out and said that this week we will be getting more information on how are they going to deal with the deck. This has never happened before in the course of the ast three years so it is kindda big deal. Luckily, with the right nerf, the meta will begin to stabilize…but what caused the problem in the first place?
The Source of the Problem
Ok, we know that jade druid is a troublesome deck that has been plaguing the standard format for the last month, it is time to try to figure out the source of the problem. Now, it is obvious that jade golems are at the very core of the problem. The mechanic, according to some members of the community, is beyond busted and the developers should do something about it. I might be in the minority here but I really like the jade golem mechanic. I like the idea of summoning minions who become more powerful for each previous minion that was summoned. It is probably my most favorite mechanic from MSoG and I enjoy playing jade deck. I really like jade druid (don't hang me!) in the wild format 🙂 With that being said, and with a little bit of bias, I must say that I don't believe that jade mechanic is the source of the problem. If it were that powerful than jade shaman and jade rogue would also be growing out of control. So, the problem lies in individual cards, but what cards are those?
Ultimate Infestation
ultimate-infestation has been considered the prime suspect in the growth of jade druid's popularity ever since the card came out. It costs 10 mana but it provides you with so much value that I feel really comfortable in calling it the best 10 cost card in the entire game. With that out of the way, no, I don't think that ultimate-infestation is the source of the problem and no, I don't think that this card will be nerfed. The card is powerful, there is no doubt in that, but it is meant to be this powerful. It is meant to be an insane value card and I don't see the developers nerfing it…ever. One thing that you need to keep in mind is that jade druid was powerful even before ultimate-infestation came out and yes, it has grown in popularity since then and yes, the card is being played in every jade druid deck, but it is not the reason why jade druid is so powerful. This is a type of card that I would run in a ramp deck, in a control druid deck, and if not changed it will be a staple card forever and ever, but it doesn't address the druid's main concern which is weakness to aggro and the ability to board wipe. That goes to a different card which is the real source of problem.
Spreading Plague
spreading-plague is the card that is behind jade druids insane growth. Now, I know that a lot of you probably still think that it is the previous card or that it is another card that will be mentioned after this one, but no, trust me, spreading-plague is the true villain here. How do I know this? Let's go back into the days of the previous meta and the meta before that. What was one of the most popular decks which held jade druid at bay? Pirate warrior. Jade druid is extremely weak to aggro but pirate warrior is extremely weak to taunts. Jade druid kept all control decks in check and pirate warrior kept jade druid in check. Now, what changed with the release of Knights of the Frozen Throne? spreading-plague was released and druid was given the ultimate answer to pirate warrior. Pirate warrior, which kept jade druid, in check is now unable to do it and jade druid is keeping all other decks in check. So, in summary, if you're looking for a card to blame for the current state of the meta, look no further than at spreading-plague. I'm convinced that this card is going to get nerfed into something unplayable. I don't want it to get nerfed because it helps me survive vs pirate warrior in the wild format, but I guess that it will be something like "summon two 1/5 minions with taunt".
innervate is also one of the most considered offender when it comes to the growth of jade druid. I don't think that this card is the problem and I don't want it nerfed. Send it to the hall of fame, for all I care, but don't nerf it. Ramping has always been a huge part of the druid's identity…the main part of its identity, and innervate plays a major role in it. People complain that innervate allows you to play huge cards early but that is what innervate always did. It is no different than from the time when Hearthstone was launched. Yes, more powerful cards came out but the role of the innervate had stayed the same. Besides, think about it, what roles does innervate play in jade druid? Which is the card that is extremely busted when played with innervate? Just ultimate-infestation. It plays no role in the power of the jade golem mechanic. People just hate on it because they hate ultimate-infestation. I don't think that innervate will be nerfed or moved to hall of fame.
Jade Idol
jade-idol is the main problem here. It is the card which makes the entire deck busted. It is the card that is the control killer. Before I start, please, don't use the phrase "infinite jade golems", it is stupid, no one has ever seen infinite jade golems being played, let alone jade golems above 20/20 (maybe some exceptions to this rule). Potential infinite value is more fitting. Sorry, it just annoys me beyond belief when people toss around "infinite jade golems" as an argument for why jade-idol is busted.
The main problem of this card is not only that it prevents druid from going into fatigue but that it fills your deck with insanely powerful minions. We will need to address this card from multiple angles because there is a lot of things to talk about here. First we will deal with the summoning a jade golem. When you summon a 1/1 jade golem for 1 it is not busted. It is a 1/1 minion for one which is sometimes even bad but because the next one will be bigger then it is ok. However, when you summon a 7/7 minion for 1 then we have a huge balance problem. Paying one mana for a huge minion is just too powerful and it needs to be fixed. There is a possible solution of increasing the cost of jade idol by 1 for each jade golem that you've played this game (capping at 10 mana) but I'm not sure if that would be too clunky. Another thing that can be done is to make it increase the size of your next jade golem. Like, instead of summoning a minion, it skips one summon and makes the next one bigger. Another thing that it could do is transforming one of your jade golems into a bigger jade golem. There are various approaches that can be taken here.
The second problem, and probably the bigger one, is shuffling three copies of jade-idol into your deck. Now, let me be very clear, changing the card to shuffle one copy makes it pointless. Changing it to shuffle two copies makes it no less powerful in the super late game. Changing it to summon a jade golem and shuffle a copy of this card still doesn't fix the problem. The problem is shuffling a copy of the card into your deck. That is the bigger part of the "insane value" problem that jade-idol provides you with. So, how can we fix this? Well, the obvious thing would be not allowing it to shuffle itself into your deck. The problem that I see is that shuffling itself into your deck plays a huge role in the card's identity. I'm honestly not sure that there is a way to fix the card and keep this but let's see what I came up with, ok? 🙂
The Fix
After taking all the stuff that I've mentioned so far into consideration, I must say that I came up with a fix for the card. So, we want the card to summon a jade golem but we don't want it to provide you with a potentially infinite value. The mana cost is also a problem. We should also consider the fact that shuffling multiple copies of jade-idol is a huge part of the identity of this card. Wit all that out of the way, here is my fix:
Jade idol
1 mana
Summon a jade golem
Yes, this is the best that I've came up with. Let me explain my thought process.
It is very important, for a jade druid to function, to have this card summon a jade golem. This is the part that it can't go without. Although summoning a big jade golem for 1 mana is something that I do consider a problem, being able to summon a limited amounts of them, and so by the default lesser jade golems than the ones that you can summon today, fixes the problem. You see, the main issue of the card is its ability to shuffle multiple copies of it into your deck. Because of that you can summon huge jade golems for 1 mana, and sometimes even more of them on the same turn, but what would happen when you could summon only two and only once? What is the jade golem summon limit cap? It is 10. Two copies from jade-idol, two copies from jade-blossom, two copies from jade-behemoth, two copies from jade-spirit and two copies from aya-blackpaw. It is a much, much lesser number both in power and in quantity. It is far easier to play against a deck that has only 10 jade golems that you need to deal with than with one that has over 13 in common cases. This makes the card balanced in the early game and powerful in the late game but it limits it to only two uses. This way we keep the purpose and the identity of the card but without making it too crazy.
We've reached the end of this article. By the time that it is out we will already know what Blizzard intends to do with the jade druid problem but it was fun to speculate and come up with my own conclusions and fixes to the problem. I honestly hope that they manage to nerf the deck without completely killing the deck. So, tell me, what cards do you consider the main problem behind the popularity of jade golem? What cards would you nerf and why? Leave your feedback and opinions in the comment section below. I'm looking forward to seeing what you came up with 🙂 As always if you've liked this article do consider following me on twitter https://twitter.com/Eternal_HS. There you can ask me all sorts of Hearthstone questions (unrelated to this article) and I'll gladly answer them as best as I can!

Brand management requires industry professionals to preserve a brand name, upholding a positive image so that customers are more likely to buy into a product or service. Many factors are involved in maintaining a clear image, increasing the brand management challenges that organisations face.
Before the digital world became available to everyone, large printed guideline books and colour swatches would be the reference point for representing the core aspects of the brand. The majority of print campaigns and all approvals will have been done offline, with markups and feedback scattered across numerous papers. While this may seem limiting now, it meant there were more constraints around how and who could use the key elements. Although there was less exposure to the brand, companies had more control over how they were perceived and there was less risk of reputation damage.
The digital age brings about far more brand management challenges and risks, increasing the importance of control and communication. Brand professionals must be responsive to changes to ensure they can compete in a constantly expanding, overcrowded market. Across all channels and mediums, brands must consistently convey their message and ensure their content is relevant with target audiences.
With social media, online forums and many other forms of communication, a brand image can be impacted through negative content and inconsistent use of brand assets. While there is no way to control this kind of attention, brands should develop ways to effectively manage content and materials. A powerful brand asset management system effectively manages brand assets, allowing brand professionals to configure security levels over who should and shouldn't have access to certain areas or materials. Organising a brand's content in a central location reduces the risk of legal and financial exposure.
Marketing collateral like adverts or newsletters are often repeated, sometimes only changing the smallest of elements like a direction or image. This increases the time into production and is not cost efficient. With artwork automation, users can complete brand materials in a couple of minutes, avoiding duplication of work. Within the same process, collateral can be sent for approval to brand teams to ensure branding is accurate and the message is being communicated effectively.
With companies competing for consumer's attention, a brand's message can be confused with others. This leads to consumers losing trust in brands and affects brand value. By conveying a consistent message and identity, brands can build brand loyalty, associating them with transparency. By giving necessary people access to guidelines in a BAM system, brands can ensure their materials are consistent, and their messages are communicated with clarity.

2017 Retirees
Ready to Adopt?
Here are some things to know about welcoming a retired racer into your home.
Greyhounds are extremely laid back. They spend most of their day napping and only need moderate exercise. A nice walk or a quick sprint around the yard is plenty of activity for them.
Greyhounds are quiet, gentle and affectionate and are happiest in calm environments. No harsh training methods needed. A strong "No" will do the trick.
Racers are trained to chase small moving objects so they can never be let off lead outside a fenced area. If they take off you'll never catch them!
Although they lead a sheltered life at the track, greyhounds adjust quickly to life as a pet. Patience during the transition period will help your new family member fit right in.
This video, although a little dated, provides some good information about adopting a retired racer.
And, just for fun...............

The aesthetic persona of Saul Steinberg (1914-1999), who became one of America's most beloved artists, began to take shape in Milan during the 1930s. Steinberg arrived there in 1933 to study architecture, having left his native Romania and its virulent anti-Semitism. In 1936, while still an architecture student, he started contributing gag cartoons to popular Italian humor newspapers and soon became renowned for his clever visual wit. These first years in Italy, which he would later remember as a "paradise," turned rapidly into "hell" in 1938, with the institution of racial laws that deprived him of income, a profession, and a legal residence. Forced to live as an unwanted "foreign Jew" and unable to obtain the visas necessary to leave Italy, by late 1940 he was under threat of imminent arrest; a few months later, he spent several weeks in an internment camp before finally managing to flee the country. This crucial period in Steinberg's biography has until now remained largely unknown because of Steinberg's own reluctance to discuss it. (from article's Abstract)

The International Security and Biopolicy Institute recently held the first event in its Washington, D.C., based private sector luncheon series.
The luncheon, entitled Challenges to Private Sector Engagement in Global Biopreparedness, focused on the harmonization of the biodefense sector's liability protection.
For the gathering, ISBI brought together a group of biodefense legal and policy experts to discuss the issue at the law firm of Foley Hoag in Washington, D.C.
Experts made presentations about the functioning of the SAFETY act, as well as their experiences in facing prohibitive liability obstacles in their quest to provide medical countermeasures.
All of the participants received the ISBI paper entitled "Remedying the Biodefense Imbalance," which explores the challenges biodefense firms are facing in today's marketplace.
Following the presentations, the attendees had time for comments, when the group began discussing specific legal issues, political obstacles and proposed tactics that could be used to push forward an issue campaign.
ISBI is an independent, not-for-profit organization based in Washington, D.C., but with staff across the United States and Europe. It seeks to minimize the social unrest, economic damage and public health consequences posed by the global threat of biological weapons. ISBI was formed in early 2009 with this goal in mind.

Ten 2014 Movies I Could Take Or Leave…Preferably Leave
January 2, 2014 Leave a comment
There are a lot of films to look forward to in 2014, and earlier this week I compiled my own pick of promising upcoming releases, but as always there are an almost equal number destined to disappoint. Last year's list of predicted failures was pretty much spot on (though I did surprise myself by enjoying both The Wolverine and The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug) so this year I've decided to compose another one.
So here they are, the ten 2014 films that I could take or leave…preferably leave:
Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit
I like Chris Pine. He's great as Captain Kirk and his voice-work on Rise Of The Guardians was a large part of its success, but I just can't get excited about Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit. This is partly due to a misplaced sense of deja vu — I keep typing Jack Reacher: Ghost Protocol by mistake — but also because no matter how many times I watch the trailer not a single set piece, actor or line of dialogue captures my imagination. It doesn't seem to be entirely Pine's fault, however, as a quick search of IMDb reveals that I've apparently seen author Tom Clancy's character on the big screen before, only I can't for the life of me remember why.
I, Frankenstein
2014 looks to be another bumper year for comic book adaptations, with three upcoming Marvel movies making my list of the year's most exciting releases (and a fourth, Guardians Of The Galaxy, just missing out on a place). You can't look forward to them all, however, and if there's one that seems destined to disappoint it's Lionsgate's I, Frankenstein. Director Stuart Beatie's last effort, Tomorrow, When The War Began (what is it with this guy and commas?), was simply awful, while the studio's insistence that it is from the producers of the Underworld series does little more to inspire any confidence either.
I have yet to be compelled to watch Paul Verhoeven's 1987 original, let alone get excited about José Padilha's inevitably pointless remake. "Reimagined" to look as generic and forgettable as possible — there is no trace of the previous incarnation's apparent satire in the trailer — the new Robocostume looks like a characterless composite of Judge Dredd, Batman and the combatant programs from Tron: Legacy. Unknown entity Joel Kinneman could still impress, but the rest of the cast — the indiscriminate likes of Samuel L. Jackson (xXx, The Spirit, Snakes On A Plane) and Gary Oldman (The Book Of Eli, Red Riding Hood, Lawless) — is hardly encouraging.
Liam Neeson is back in action mode for Non-Stop, and if the promotional material is anything to go by the Love, Actually actor looks as incongruous as ever. The plot, naturally, sounds completely ridiculous — air passengers are picked off one by one while their designated air marshal is mistaken for a terrorist — but rather than poking fun at its own preposterousness the film instead seems to be taking itself very, very seriously. Neeson's last collaboration with director Jaume Collet-Serra — 2011's Unknown — was unremarkable at best, which doesn't exactly bode well for Non-Stop, but Collet-Serra was also behind 2009's Orphan so I suppose you never really know for sure.
Grand Budapest Hotel
For Wes Anderson fans, 2014 will see another offbeat offering from their beloved auteur. As someone who cannot abide Wes Anderson films, however, I'm dreading another few hours in the company of his quirky, manicured, superficial characters, played inevitably by the usual collection of collaborators. I'm sure it will look stylish, probably laboriously so, but unless the director has suddenly decided to think outside of the very, very limiting sandbox within which he has always played I just can't bring myself invest in a room at the Grand Budapest Hotel.
In its ongoing pursuit for a cash-cow equivalent in value to Warner Brothers' Harry Potter series, Hollywood has adapted the first instalment of just about every Young Adult saga going (before quickly abandoning all but the likes of Twilight, Percy Jackson and The Hunger Games). I say almost every Young Adult saga, because 2014 is set to see the release of yet another one: Veronica Roth's Divergent. To say that the plot sounds familiar is something of a gross understatement, as this is yet another story about teenage empowerment, young love and sticking it to the establishment. At least it can't possibly be any worse than The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones. Right?
Pudsey: The Movie
To be British is to know the annual embarrassment that comes hand in hand with seeing one of our quaint little television characters making the leap to the big screen, most often unbidden, with recent examples including Keith Lemon: The Movie and The Harry Hill Movie. 2014, however, boasts no fewer than three such affronts to the national identity. Whereas Mrs Brown's Boys and Postman Pat at least have a passing familiarity with narrative storytelling, however, Pudsey: The Movie will somehow attempt to wring drama from last year's Britain's Got Talent victors, dancing duo Ashleigh and Pudsey (the latter of which — a dog — will be voiced by David Walliams). I'm already cringing and it's not out until May.
Transformers: Age Of Extinction
While it was of course true that neither Shia LaBeouf nor Megan Fox were ever likely to win an Oscar for their work on Michael Bay's Transformers series (or that Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, meanwhile, was barely even fit for a Golden Raspberry), they were still by far the least of the franchise's problems. The biggest issue was always Bay himself, with his inappropriately crass sense of humour, over-reliance on CGI and tendency to spend more time lingering on lingerie models than the eponymous pixels in disguise. This year he returns with a fourth instalment.
Sin City: A Dame To Kill For
Although a moderate success upon its release in 2005, Sin City has hardly endured as a movie worth revisiting. A sequel was nevertheless greenlit, and now nine years on we are finally getting a follow-up, Sin City: A Dame To Kill For. Directed by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller, and starring everyone from Bruce Willis to Lady Gaga, Sin City 2 certainly sounds as mad as the original, but it's difficult to shake the suspicion that the film has been stuck in Development Hell for a reason. Unless Rodriguez just really wanted to make Shorts, Machete and Spy Kids: All The Time In The World (in "Aroma-scope") first.
Horrible Bosses 2
Were you one of the handful of people who found 2011's Horrible Bosses funny, or anything other than unbearable, then I suppose a sequel doesn't seem like that big a deal. I, however, thought it was one of the most joyless and offensive so-called comedies of recent years. The thought of another two hours in the company of Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis is almost too much to bear, and the only reason I can fathom for watching a sequel is morbid curiosity regarding the obscene lengths the writers must have gone to in order to crowbar Jennifer Aniston and Kevin Spacey back into the new narrative, which supposedly sees the three set up their own business and become their own bosses.

Ed Sheeran's Act Of Chivalry Leaves Fans Asking This SHOCKING Question
After showing off his gentleman qualities after the BRIT Awards by lending his trainers to his girlfriend, it seems that fans are less interested in the act of chivalry and more interested in where SHE came from.
Having conquered our hearts with his charm and love songs, the 'Thinking Out Loud' singer, Ed Sheeran, really had us clutching our chests (his poor cold feet!) as he braved the pavements bare-foot all in the name of love. Aww!
Stepping out of the Warner Ciroc BRIT Awards Afterparty in just his black socks, the red-haired musician lent his kicks to girlfriend Cherry Seaborn after his other-half broke the heel of her Louboutins while dancing the night away.
The 'Shape of You' artist left the Freemason's Hall with the broken ankle boots in one hand and girlfriend's hand in the other, guiding Cherry to her chariot (aka black cab) before sealing the night with a kiss.
But whilst many commended the star for keeping chivalry alive, others were still stuck on one thing...WHEN DID ED SHEERAN GET A GIRLFRIEND?!

You're not Ed Sheeran's girlfriend— reasons to cry (@whynottosmile) February 17, 2017
For those of you who may still be in shock, we ask that you turn away now.
Turns out that Ed and girlfriend Cherry are not only high school sweethearts but the singer has even hinted that the 'M' word might be on the cards with the hockey player in the near future (That's 'Marriage' not 'Marmalade').
The couple, who have been dating since 2015, first met at Thomas Mills High School in Framlington, Suffolk where Ed is said to have had a massive crush on his classmate.
Now a few years later, the loved-up couple not only share a home together, but are joint parents to cats as well.
But before you take a sigh of relief, Ed has said that he is 'ready' to take his fatherhood duties to the next level and become a real-life parent to an actual human being.
When asked on the Australian radio show - The Kyle and Jackie O Show - whether he was excited at becoming a dad in the future, the guitar-strumming singer said: "Massively, yeah. I wanted to be a dad, like, last year."
"I'm ready, let's go - tour bus babies, little fat, chubby babies that just walk around."
Might have to order a clean-up on aisle three Ed, we can hear your female fan's hearts breaking from here.

We work with national and international clients to grow their competitiveness and find unique ways to engage new and existing customers.
Brian hung up a shingle which said "Brand Strategist" 25 years ago when only a handful of individuals across the globe were exploring the nascent business discipline. Since then, Brian, along with other pioneers, has achieved global recognition in what is now considered a valuable business tool. Throughout his career he has advised governments, companies and communities in defining their point of difference and delivered brand strategies and enduring legacy brands across markets in Asia Pacific, Europe and the United States. Unashamedly commercial, Brian's almost legendary skills in boardrooms have always seen him argue the bottom line performance of the brand and its story, as the best investment a company can make. "Business is about ethics, aesthetics and functionality," says Brian, "brands, which capture these points of difference, should deliver a special experience through unique design, supportive cultures and an infectious and honest story you have never heard before."
The design process is all about people and how they communicate with each other. Tuomas arrived in Auckland from Helsinki where he began his career in journalism before gaining a degree in Design Management at the Parsons School of Design in New York — where he also spent time with leading design studio Base Design. Tuomas says his "Design Management degree has provided me with the understanding of design from all angles while my background enables me to understand design as a creative discipline but also a business and a business model." Living and working in Helsinki, Paris and New York, Tuomas says "each of these places has it's own charm, but the work remains surprisingly the same across the continents." As a skilled design manager Tuomas brings his broad worldview and deep understanding of the creative process to manage conversations between strategists, designers and clients. To collaborate you have to communicate.
Caitlin believes in a culture of conversation – while learning to write HTML, CSS, PHP & JAVASCRIPT has become a passion within her developing design practice. Graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Whitecliffe College of Arts and Design, Caitlin developed her customer-centric focus from years spent in fashion on the shop floor – through to launching a high-end fashion e-commerce site. Working within the close knit studio team, Caitlin collaborates with clients and developers to ensure a seamless transition between design and development. Recent projects have included a refreshed website for sustainable timber company Abodo as well as The New Zealand Dairy Company. Caitlin says the best work comes from "interrogating the concept and pushing the bounds further than people are comfortable with". We agree.
Keith is adept at working across different geographies and cultures with a specialisation in understanding how business relationships and consumer behaviour operates in the Asia Pacific region. During his 8 year stopover in Japan, Keith steered companies operating in technology and communications before his focus shifted to China and Singapore. There he worked across numerous industry verticals with a client list including Unilever and Coca-Cola. During that time Keith also had regional responsibility for clients in South and Korea and Taiwan. Recently returned to New Zealand, Keith is using his executive level experience and diverse cultural understanding to develop sound strategic thinking and appropriate creative ideas that deliver tangible results for his clients.
As Design Director, Jinki brings her years of experience across different roles and disciplines into focus. Early training in Information Management, Psychology, Public Relations and a background in the corporate sector, mean Jinki has a unique world view on what works. Pivoting a decade ago into design, Jinki spent the last 8 years at internationally recognised Auckland studio Alt Group, producing award winning identity, wayfinding and art direction work. Clients included, Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki, Auckland Museum, Auckland Council Arts & Culture (Lopdell Precinct and Te Oro) as well as the Silo Theatre. Making an impact on Auckland is what drives her – "the opening night of Auckland Art Gallery has been a highlight in my career" she says. Jinki is also an emerging photographer.
From ATMs to airplane meal settings, from yoghurt packaging to several ranges of outdoor gear: in his 30 years's experience Bryn has had a hand at designing some highly visible, oft-used and easily recognisable products. As such, he has invaluable experience in conceptualising, designing, prototyping and manufacturing under rigorous industry standards and tight specifications. Usability and knowledge of the end consumer's needs have been pivotal in his career. Before arriving at Richards Partners, Bryn has been Head of Product Design for Macpac, Founding Partner and Head of Production for Shape Design and a senior product designer in Germany. At Richards Partners he uses this fine-tuned design thinking to conduct workshops with clients and their user groups to better understand end users, their needs (expressed and latent) and how the client company can work organisationally, strategically and culturally to deliver products and services to meet those needs.
Great ideas and attention to detail are critical components that drive Anushka's design practice. After graduating with a Bachelor of Communication majoring in Digital Media from AUT in 2010, Anushka completed her training with a Diploma of Graphic Design from Media School before beginning her career in the Auckland studio of Saatchi and Saatchi Design Worldwide. Her experience at Saatchi's ranged from delivering campaign work for The Auckland Theatre Company; being part of the team to rebrand Spark and developing the brand direction for Lexus. Anushka's work has been awarded multiple Gold Pins from the Designers Institute of New Zealand Best Design awards.

Cresyl Violet
Cresyl violet is a synthetic dye that is widely utilized to stain neuronal tissues. Because it is a basic stain, it readily binds to the acidic components of the neuronal cytoplasm such as RNA-rich ribosomes, as well as the nuclei and nucleoli of the nerve cells. Cresyl violet should not be confused with crystal violet, a stain for distinguishing Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria.

It's "not Friday" and I wanted to remind everyone it's only 9 days until Halloween! I may have done the pumpkin cutting a little prematurely but I believe that will just add some gruesome decomposition effects for the trick-or-treaters. Yes, I claim to have the foresight to AGE my pumpkin display.
Let me just say the fact that we have a holiday which promotes displaying rotting vegetables is kinda fun.
Also I have decided to stop using the terms Tuesday and Thursday and replace them with what they really are.. the "Day after Monday" and "Not Friday". Ok, off to make some cream of broccoli soup for dinner.. this was a pretty busy not friday.

Lately, I have been captivated by the show called Teen Mom that airs on MTV. The show, currently in its second season, chronicles the lives of four teenagers who became pregnant during high school. As would be expected, life as a teenage parent is less than glamorous or fun. I'm happy that the show does not glamorize the issue of teen pregnancy. Instead, it is shows the drama and emotional lows….a seemingly realistic glimpse of what life as a single teen parent must be like.
Three of the girls are still currently in a relationship with their baby's father. Two of them are engaged, and all three couples live together….sigh. It appears to me that these three couples are to be "playing house." That is, they have an ideal of what a couple with a child should look like, and are trying to exemplify this. However, given their inherent immaturity…they are unable to make this a reality.
The focus of my attention is Farrah. She was a popular cheerleader, whose boyfriend abandoned when she became pregnant. She is at constant odds with her parents, and has not let motherhood slow her down too much. Dating, hanging out with friends, and socializing at night spots are part of her daily routine. Clearly, she was not ready to embark on the journey of motherhood. Developmentally, however, she is doing what would be expected of a teenager. But, of course her responsibilities are different.
I feel almost bad watching this show….. like a spectator to someone else's drama and misfortune. But I think that people can learn from this. The reality is that teenagers often have sex. Not a newsflash! But why then do we parents avoid talking about the obvious? Uncomfortable as it may be…the consequence is even greater.
Here are some important stats:
• 33% of ninth graders (high school freshman) have already had sexual
• 65% of twelve graders (high school seniors) are sexually active.
• Oral sex is more common than that. Anal sex also occurs among teens.
• 25% of girls ages 14-19 have at least one sexually transmitted infection
such as human papilloma virus, herpes, chlamydia, and trichomoniasis.
(Reference: Garofalo R, Forcier M. Adolescent Sexuality. In UpToDate, Basow, DS (Ed) Uptodate.com, Waltham, MA, 2009)
Good grief! I am personally not ready to jump into the nitty-gritty of the Birds-n-the-Bees with my Minnie-me's. Thankfully for me that they are still so young that the primary focus of our conversations center around good touch/ bad touch, and "stranger danger." However, I do know that sooner than later…we will have to broach the discussion of how babies are made. I want to make sure that I introduce the topic before anyone else does.
So….back to Farrah. The clip below shows her struggle with her new life. Immaturity, profanity towards her parents, and a lack of appreciation for the importance of her role as parent to a beautiful baby girl are an obvious in this clip. Maybe watching this might serve as encouragement to all of us to have the talk... before the statistics kick in ;).
Happy Parenting,

CGIAR livestock support is enhancing community resilience in the face of on-going drought in the Horn of Africa
Widespread drought conditions in the Horn of Africa have intensified since the failure of the Oct–Dec 2016 rains.

Performance Evaluation of Malaysian Islamic Unit Trust Funds : A Critical Review
Mohamed Sharif Bashir (Sultan Sharif Ali Islamic University, Brunei Darussalam)
This paper conducts an intensive review and then critically evaluates the findings of previous studies on the topic of Islamic trust fund performance in Malaysia. It also examines the comprehensiveness of each previous study in terms of its approach, its methodology, its data and its interpretation of previous findings that other studies have used to measure unit trust fund performance. This paper aims to identify the strenghts, weaknesses and shortcomings of previous studies. The findings of this paper show that most empirical works on Malaysia's unit trust funds have contributed to the present body of knowledge by offering detailed performance evidence of an emerging market that has strong government support. Specifically, the present paper attains a better understanding of the approaches and methodologies used to measure the performance of Islamic unit trusts in Malaysia.

Dear Woman,
I call you that because I don't know your name. Likewise, when I met you, you did not know mine. I am going to try my best to not offend you with my rhetoric, despite you being so careless with yours during our short-lived conversation.
I wanted to tell you some things about me. My name is Grace, first of all. I have also just turned 18, my favourite colour is teal and I really hate being yelled at. I think that's probably true for most people.
Perhaps not you? Since you did so affectionately yelled at me from across the bar "WHY ARE YOU IN A WHEELCHAIR, HOW DID YOU GET IN ONE, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?"
If you're so willing and able to yell at me, at 7pm, while I am simply entering a party, minding my own buisness. I assume that means you welcome others to throw loud words your way, but of course, we know what assuming does.
It makes you look like an ass, which is exactly why I assumed nothing about you when I briefly met you. You assumed a whole lot about me it seems. That does nothing to affect my character. It affects yours.
You're probably thinking, what did I assume? Your wheelchairs in front of me, so clearly you are disabled. And you'd be right. I am, and proudly.
What did you assume?
What you assumed, honey is that you had a right to ask me those questions.
My being physically different makes me stand out from the crowd, I am aware – but it does not mean that I am open for interrogation.
I have been asked if my womb functions by shop assistants, I have been talked to like I am stupid and in the last two days I have been asked by taxi drivers if I have always been disabled, and now you I get to add to the list. The list of people who've asked me stupid questions, the list of people who make me feel scared to be out in the world, the list of people who make me doubt myself.
I suppose I should thank you, more content for my memoir.
So You're now on the list of the people who've said stupid shit to me. I'm sorry, you put yourself there.
I don't need to justify myself to you, but you should know that I am disabled because my cerebellum is damaged. Luckily my capacity for human empathy, compassion, and respectfulness is in tact.
You should get yours checked out.
I know a really good doctor if you need one.
If only you could fix attitudes like you do bones.
I just want to tell you some other things you don't know. First of all, you don't know that I am only just starting to take myself places, I am only just gaining my sense of independence and so that means that a part of me has this great sense of panic every time I am alone because I am learning.
You probably don't know what that feels like because if you did you would not have yelled at me like you did.
I also want to tell you that I usually let these things go, but I am tired. I am tired of you making a comment to me, thinking that it doesn't matter; it does matter.
I want you to know that you have not achieved anything with your comments because I do not consent to you making me feel anything.
For your knowledge, when I arrived at the party I was attending I was met with the attitude of acceptance and respectfulness that we all deserve.
I'd also like you to know, that I am hiking up Rangitoto in a few weeks, I am only limited by what I consent to.
I hope while I am out, living my life – you live yours to the best of your ability. Man, I know that you think being able bodied is the shit – and yes, walking is a great thing. I know, I do it from time to time.
But you know what's even better?
Do you have any stories of things that have happened to you like this? How did you respond and navigate them?
Let me know and we can all help one another out.

Could Dou Windows Authentication client be configured to forward it's logs to a syslog server?
Duo Windows Authentication client log forwarding
We don't have a way to natively forward the Duo for Windows Logon log file output to a syslog server today. You may be able to configure a third-party Windows syslog agent to forward the Duo log. Here's how to configure one such agent (RSyslog Windows Agent) to accomplish this.
Out of curiosity, would you find it more useful if Duo Authentication for Windows Logon retained use of a text log and had a log forwarding option, or if log output went into the Windows Event Viewer where any syslog agent could grab it?
It would suffice if Duo authentication client would right authentication transactions into Windows Event Viewer.
Thanks for the information.
I would like to see some sort of log forwarding also. We use LogRhythm so either Syslog or Windows Event log would work. We got dinged in an audit.
Add us to the list of people needing/wanting the logs to be sent to syslog so they can be ingested in any modern day log collector (not just splunk)
Same Here. This product definitely needs better SIEM integration
@moconnor Please reach out to your Duo account executive or Customer Success manager, or to Duo Support. They can assist with submitting this as a feature request for you. Comments in this public community forum aren't tracked as feature requests nor do they "upvote" an idea.

My first season with OTA
I'd like to start off by saying a big thanks to all of the organizers and all of the volunteers that put in the work to let us have as much fun as we can in a safe environment.
For those (pretty much all of you) that don't know me, I'm Jake and I "competed" in the GT4 class in my 2017 Subaru BRZ (the bright yellow one). The competed is in quotations, because while I raced and made lap times. I think I placed above last once in the 5 events that I attended.
Which is perfect.
I went car shopping with the intention of buying a track friendly car, something that wasn't going to kill me with its speed, or insurance rates. Obviously the answer was Miata; but I'm a Subaru fanboy so I settled for the flat-foured counterpart in the BRZ.
Shortly after purchasing the BRZ I looked into which racing I could do with it, local autocrosses, OTA, and CSCS. I chose OTA because
it seemed much less intimidating. I knew that because I had no track experience I needed some instruction, so I signed up for the OTA school held at Mosport DDT.
I honestly don't remember my instructors name, James I think. Like many others here, I can tell you what he drove; BMW135. Regardless, his comments and suggestions gave me the confidence to push myself and my
new car to the limits and learn a few things along the way. That school showed me the type of people that I would be spending my weekends with as well. People who are willing to help others at a moments notice, people who will offer sound advice when needed. It's a nice change from the motocross scene, where people are a little more self-centred.
I told myself (and continue to tell myself) that I needed to maximize my driving behind the wheel of the car, before I could touch anything on the car itself - including tires. I figured that they wouldn't help me that much anyways, as braking and turn-in points for me are still something to grasp accurately and consistently. The stock Michelin Primacy HP in a 215/45R17 were much worse than I expected, but for me they were perfect.
At the first event at TMP I didn't know what to expect, but was excited to see how friendly everyone was and how every question I asked was answered quickly, or I was directed towards someone who would have the answer. My mom and grandmother even stopped by for lunch and to catch some action. (Although, my nana did fall asleep track-side.)
At the last event at Shannonville, I destroyed my left front tire during practice. But managed to get a replacement in time for the timed laps. And still, I was at the bottom of the class. (And that's still okay!)
I'm still trying to figure out the rules and how the point system works (PAX? Is that what it's called?) And I'm trying to figure out how to best optimize my car without having to do any major modification; ie. grip, brakes, and aero. While still remaining in the GT4 class.
All in all I had a great year with OTA and I'm looking forward to competing with you guys in the future.

Guinea-Bissau is a severely resource constrained country, in search of political stability and development in every sector of public life. International aid is permanent and healthcare is one of the most targeted fields, focusing mostly on infectious diseases, maternity, infant malnutrition, access to healthcare and gender inequality in health. As in the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa, cervical cancer is gathering increasing attention from the community and ruling officers. The potential of screening for control of cervical cancer raised the interest of adapting screening methods to low-resource settings. This started the search for the best resource-adapted strategies, which promoted several trials that currently shape the development of screening programs in these countries. Prevention and control strategies are also being adapted taking into account the availability of human Papillomavirus vaccination. Nonetheless, several barriers are still in place for widespread vaccination programs, and cervical cancer screening and treatment remain central in the control of cervical cancer in low-resource settings.
We intend to discuss current cervical cancer screening approaches in low-resource countries and opportunities for their implementation in Guinea-Bissau.

Effects During Pregnancy
We expect that the course of Zika virus disease in pregnant women is similar to that in the general population. No evidence exists to suggest that pregnant women are more susceptible or experience more severe disease during pregnancy. It is not known if pregnant women are more susceptible to Guillain-Barré syndrome.
Microcephaly and Other Birth Defects
We know that Zika virus infection during pregnancy is a cause of congenital microcephaly and severe brain abnormalities. Zika virus has also been linked to other problems in pregnancies and among fetuses and infants infected before birth, such as miscarriage, stillbirth, and other birth defects.
A distinct pattern of birth defects, called congenital Zika syndrome, has emerged among fetuses and infants of women infected with Zika during pregnancy. In addition to cognitive, sensory, and motor disabilities that are shared with other birth defects, congenital Zika syndrome is associated with five types of birth defects that are either not seen or occur rarely with other infections (e.g., cytomegalovirus or rubella) during pregnancy:
- Severe microcephaly resulting in a partially collapsed skull
- Decreased brain tissue with brain damage (as indicated by a specific pattern of calcium deposits)
- Damage to the back of the eye with a specific pattern of scarring and increased pigment
- Limited range of joint motion, such as clubfoot
- Too much muscle tone restricting body movement soon after birth
Researchers are collecting data to better understand the extent to which Zika virus affects mothers and their children. Studies are underway to investigate the full spectrum of outcomes of Zika virus infection during pregnancy, including the role of other factors (e.g., prior or concurrent infections, nutrition, and environment) and the developmental effects of congenital infection.
Periconceptional Infection
There is limited information available about the risk of periconceptional Zika virus infection (defined as infection during 8 weeks before conception or 6 weeks before last menstrual period). Early case reports suggest there may be adverse outcomes associated with Zika virus infection in early pregnancy, including pregnancy loss and severe microcephaly. Information from other viral infections (e.g., cytomegalovirus) occurring around the time of conception indicate there are associations between periconceptional infections and adverse outcomes, although timing of infection and conception in these cases was often unknown.

Using DNA in Science and Technology - Essay Example
Using DNA in Science and Technology DNA Is the blueprint for life, It Is found In the nucleus of cells on the chromosomes. It Is found In many cell organelles, such as plasmids In bacteria, chloroplasts In plants, and mitochondria in both plants and animals. DNA helps us to perform many actions in solving crimes, and also helps us to do scientific studies that were not possible until recently. DNA has a double helix structure, its sugar phosphate backbone, made up of didgeridoos and a phosphate group are held together by hydrogen bonds and base pairs. These bases are adenine and guanine, thymine and cytosine.

There are coding and non coding parts of DNA, the non coding part Is called an Intro, this may not seem to have a function but It helps to keep the structure of the helix by cooling, regulates when genes are expressed and is also used in DNA replication. Non-coding regions of DNA between genes are the satellite DNA, this is a simple base sequence repeated many times. It's not all non-coding DNA though, the coding parts of the DNA are known as Exxon. Science and technology is used for genetic diversity, selective breeding Is used especially In farming for livestock.
Selective breeding means artificial selection means the controlled breeding of animals or plants by humans so only individuals with specific characteristics can reproduce. Farmers use this technique to get the best quality cattle and produce from the animals they have. To get the best animal possible, for example a milk cow, the farmer will select the best cows from the heard to breed from, these may be the ones with the largest udders or biggest milk yield, he will then breed from this animal, and the Fl offspring will be raised and used for milk. In the Fl generation he will do the same again, selecting the best cows from the generation. E IF generation will have the most favorable characteristics and will have lost any of the unfavorable characteristics as they have been bread out of the stock. The farmer then has the most favorable genetic characteristics in his heard to breed from. However this has its downfalls, by choosing selective breeding you reduce the gene pool. Allele frequency is reduced and this leaves the heard vulnerable to contracting Infections and diseases, they have lost their ability to adapt and produce Immune reactions. When DNA of two species, one being radioactively labeled, are heated to separate the strands.
The mixture is cooled to allow the complementary bases to form hydrogen bonds. Some of the strands formed will be hybrids. These hybrids will be extracted then heated, the higher the heat needed to separate the strands the more hydrogen bonds between the strands, therefore the more closely related the species are. This process is known as DNA hibernation, It Is used to determine species and how closely related they are. This Is Important as It allows us to determine how closely related species are and thus if they will be able to breed and have viable offspring.
Genetic engineering is very important in allowing us to develop medical cures as well as for other uses, such as food production. Reverse transcript is the process of isolating a gene; the process will allow us to produce things such as insulin to help people suffering from diabetes. Retroviruses such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIVE) hold Information in the form of RNA, using an enzyme known as reverse protein is selected, for example the beta cells from the islets of Lanterns in the human pancreas.
These cells have large quantities of the relevant Mrs., this is therefore extracted. Reverse transcript is then used to make DNA from RNA. This DNA is known as complimentary DNA because it is made of the nucleotides that are complimentary to the Mrs.. To make another strand of DNA, the enzyme DNA polymerase is used to build up the complimentary nucleotides on the CDMA template. This double strand is the required gene, in this case human insulin. Scientists can produce this to make injections to give to sufferers of diabetes.
All organisms use defensive measures against invaders, bacteria are often invaded by viruses that inject their DNA into them and take over the sell. Some bacteria produce enzymes that cut up the viral DNA. One process produces blunt ends and other produces sticky ends. Each type of restriction underclass cuts a double DNA strand at a specific sequence of bases, known as the recognition sequence. When this occurs between two opposite base pairs it leaves blunt ends. The other method produces sticky ends; the staggered ends leave parts of the DNA unpaired and therefore available to form new bonds.
The restriction underclass identifies the recognition sequence and cuts the DNA, however instead of cutting in a straight line the cut is staggered leaving bases unpaired. The nucleotides on the end are implementation to the ones on the other side because they used to pair. If the same restriction underclass is used to cut DNA, then all the fragments produced will have ends that are complimentary, this means the single stranded end of a fragment can bond with the single stranded end of another fragment.
Once the sticky ends have paired up an enzyme known as DNA aliases is used to Join the two fragments together. A vector is a carrier DNA molecule into which the desired gene can be inserted. Usually, the vector is a plasmid. This is a small, circular piece of DNA often found in bacteria in addition to their functional DNA. The plasmids are modified so that they have two or more genes for resistance to antibiotics. They should also contain a sequence that can be recognized by the same restriction enzyme used to cut the fragments.
The site that is cut should be in one of the genes for antibiotic resistance. Cut the genome with restriction underclass and mix with the plasmid that has also been cut with the same enzyme so that the sticky ends of the fragments and the plasmid are complementary. Hopefully, some fragments will insert into the plasmid DNA before either segment Joins with itself. The fragments are added to the plasmids with different outcomes. One is the plasmid rejoins, or the fragment Joins with plasmid but the fragment does not contain the desired gene.
Alternatively the fragment Joins with plasmid, however this time the fragment does contain the desired gene or finally it is unsuccessful and the fragment Joins with itself. Some plasmids will now contain the recombinant DNA fragment, other plasmids; however will not contain a fragment. If the plasmids are recombinant then one of the antibiotic resistance genes will have been disrupted. However, the other gene for antibiotic resistance will still be intact. Add this mixture of recombinant and non- combatant plasmids to bacteria. Some will take up the plasmids if they are in calcium chloride solution.
The bacteria are transferred to a plate containing the antibiotic inclining. Those bacteria that have taken up any plasmid will be resistant recombinant and non-recombinant plasmids. These colonies are then replicated onto plates containing the antibiotic tetracycline. Those bacteria with recombinant plasmids will not survive because the fragment has disrupted the gene for resistance.

Drinking a glass of red wine at dinner would protect against cardiovascular disease, cholesterol and help to get to sleep more easily. Here is the conclusion of a study published in the journal of internal medicine, October 13, 2015.The study was designed to investigate the impact of moderate wine consumption on the health of a group of people.The scientists conducted their research among 224 people with type 2 diabetes. The scientists have chosen these patients because they were more likely to develop cardiovascular disease, had lower levels of good cholesterol and were also less likely to drink alcohol unduly because of their pathology.
Participants were asked to drink 142 ml during dinner, a choice of mineral water, dry white wine or dry red wine. They also followed under the supervision of a dietician, a Mediterranean diet not restrictive in calories for 2 years.
After the meal, the volunteers answered a questionnaire and underwent blood tests. The most effective wine than water to improve the health status
The group that drank red wine has benefited from an increase in good cholesterol and a better ratio of cholesterol compared to those who drank water.Moreover, academics have found that the "wine drinkers" have significantly reduced their metabolic syndrome (signs that increase the risk of onset of diabetes, heart disease and stroke (AVC)).The researchers also found that consumption of red or white wine was associated with better sleep.
Conclusion: long-term associate a healthy diet with moderate consumption of red wine help to lower heart risks and Metabolism!

Let me start with a little back story. When I start a new WordPress theme, I use a starter theme that I have put together over the years. It has a lot of customizations and is a great place to start any new project. The base theme uses Twitter Bootstrap as the front-end framework. Twitter Bootstrap uses LESS, which is a dynamic stylesheet language. There are a few ways you can compile LESS stylesheets. You can compile:
- On the client side using Javascript
- On the server side using node.js
- Locally and just serve up the CSS generated from your LESS compilation
What I'm looking for is a compiler that will watch my LESS files and when one changes, quickly and efficiently compile my LESS into CSS. Enter Coyote. To get Coyote up and running all you need to do is:
gem install coyote
Then create a Rakefile which will contain configuration for how you want Coyote to compile your files. And then go to the command line and run your rake command to watch your LESS files.
rake watch
After that, all you need to do is bust out your sweet LESS files, sit back and let Coyote take care of the compilation.
I'm still early on in the implementation of this and I hope to find ways to tweak this so it's even more efficient. But, it's nice to have a solid, dependable solution in place.

This is a delicious hot or cold salad drizzled in a zingy lemon and garlic dressing. The earthiness of the squash and pine nuts paired with the fresh greens and fluffy quinoa make for a nutrient packed flavorful and filling meal.
What's Inside:
An array of savory spices can be paired with this meal. I chose to season with a dried onion mix containing shallots, chives, garlic and green peppercorns as well as a hint of lemon pepper and basil. If you are not a fan of onions you can simply add an Italian herb blend or vegetable spice of your choosing.
To dress the salad I used lemon juice mixed with minced raw garlic. The cooked squash gives quite a bit of moisture to the salad already so the lemon and garlic are there to offer an acidic kick that really brings out the flavor of the vegetables.
Quinoa & Squash Salad with Lemon Garlic Dressing
1 cup uncooked quinoa
5 cups spinach
5 cups arugula
¼ cup toasted pine nuts
3 zucchini, sliced 1/4 inch thick rounds
2 summer squash, sliced 1/4 inch thick rounds
10 ounces of cherry tomatoes, halved
¼ cup diced red onion
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon dried onion mix or vegetable spice of choice
1/2 tablespoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/2 cup Meyer lemon juice
1/2 tablespoon minced raw garlic
- Preheat oven to 350 °F
- Prepare quinoa according to package instructions
- Wash and dry spinach and arugula and then mix them together in bowl and set aside
- Place pine nuts on oven safe pan and bake for about 10 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and fragrant, then set aside
- Add zucchini, summer squash, cherry tomatoes and red onion to a large pan with olive oil over high heat
- Add seasoning to the pan of vegetables and sauté until squash is tender and slightly translucent, about 15 minutes and then reduce heat to low
- Scoop the quinoa from the pot to the pan of vegetables, lightly mix and remove from heat
- In a small bowl whisk together lemon juice and raw garlic
- Place arugula and spinach mix on each plate, drizzle with dressing, top with vegetable and quinoa mix and garnish with toasted pine nuts
- Enjoy!
