The Earth is four and half billion years old,
the stratums, folds, fossils alike
with rocks of thorium behold.
An age for which, at canyon's ledge,
is an enormous well of time,
a well too profound for the mind.
O comfort announced from preacher's sound –
"Rejoice and proclaim the good news,
our Savior will ride to our side and
make light our burden found."
Holy text presents most of what's real,
and this is our truly modest zeal.
With patience and perseverance scientists toil,
to unfold our twisted meaning of self.
Ah hah, the twist is helical and coiled.
Using tech tweezers of incredible smallness,
the DNA appears as a mechanism of baldness.
The blueprint for life is a molecule –
of magnificent beauty and seemliness.
The grandest of all theatres
is the election of government leaders.
They declare with conviction of great mastery,
that their plan is undoubtedly the best deal.
But nah, I say, objective knowledge is scarce
when obfuscation and distortion create such a farce.
Perhaps, simpler, the atom
is the element that matters.
Ode to the atom the Greeks did conceive.
It binds us, feeds us, gives us our chatter.
And Nobel's dynamite makes us believe.
Of particles swirling, spinning, and splicing,
in that great dance of conception we interweave.
The world today is all about trade.
We mine, pump, process and plunder.
We grind, mold, and widgets are made.
For thou is great goes the WTO thunder
crying globalization, free trade to equalize the wealth.
Can population, consumption, and increasing waste
be sustainable and good for the planet's health?
Need faster growing trees or sweeter honey from bees?
Can one think of a more bodacious motivation
than genetically engineering a cure for disease?
Cloned cows and xenotransplantation,
along with GM crops to feed the masses,
is biotech's search for elation,
but without safety and ethics unfolds a morass.
Genetic modification, at the molecular level,
induces angst in Kosher laws bedeviled.
I believe that what we believe
is fraught with human fallibility.
Shamans, charlatans, hoaxters conceive
a plan involving vulnerability,
and statisticians, magicians, and politicians deceive.
Credulism, placebos are tools of atrocious taste
in bringing us supplements, diets, and a wrinkle-free face.
Oh science, be solace for societies chaotic pace.
In light-years, telescopes, and planets plentiful,
observations awaken our wonder of space.
Stardust are we, the oracles declare
reflecting Einstein's delight of nature's mathematical grace.
Our humbleness, indeed, astronomy makes bare.
Life is precious but meaning diffuse.
A virus is not alive but the human spirit is.
Computers may someday converse and amuse
or alien life be found;
these, for life's meaning, would certainly confuse.
Would electrons, protons, and neutrons composing the brain
allow the search for life's meaning to be vain?

Restoring a Window's 7 with a blue screen
Is it possible to restore a Window's 7 operating system with an upgrade disc which wasn't used with the original upgrade? If I use this upgrade, does it count as usage. I bought the 3 upgrade disc and have used 2 of them with one left. I just need to fix this computer which has a legit Windows 7 operating system, valid key but without the original disc. I'm not sure if I should use this disc or buy an upgrade disc or a full install. Thanks for your help.

Understand that Family 3 pack means you can have the Product Key used on any 3 machines at the same time, not three times. As with all retail Windows except OEM, you can move it whenever you want as long as it only remains on 3 separate machines.
But if WIn7 came preinstalled on the machine in question there is no reason to waste a retail license on it since you own that version of the OS on that machine for it's life - to reinstall any way you please.
The disks are all the same with some versions hidden. As long as it is the same version and has SP1 you can use it with the Product Key on the COA sticker, following these steps (which also include the latest official installer) to Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7.

The World Health Organization conducted a regional and global comparative risk assessment to quantify the amount of premature morbidity and mortality due to a range of risk factors, including climate change, and to estimate the benefit of interventions to remove or reduce these risk factors. In the year 2000, climate change is estimated to have caused the loss of over 150,000 lives and 5,500,000 DALYs (0.3% of deaths and 0.4% of DALYs, respectively) (Campbell-Lendrum et al., 2003; Ezzati et al., 2004; McMichael, 2004). The assessment also addressed how much of the future burden of climate change could be avoided by stabilising greenhouse gas emissions (Campbell-Lendrum et al., 2003). The health outcomes included were chosen based on known sensitivity to climate variation, predicted future importance, and availability of quantitative global models (or the feasibility of constructing them):
Limited adjustments for adaptation were included in the estimates.
The projected relative risks attributable to climate change in 2030 vary by health outcome and region, and are largely negative, with most of the projected disease burden being due to increases in diarrhoeal disease and malnutrition, primarily in low-income populations already experiencing a large burden of disease (Campbell-Lendrum et al., 2003; McMichael, 2004). Absolute disease burdens depend on assumptions of population growth, future baseline disease incidence and the extent of adaptation.
The analyses suggest that climate change will bring some health benefits, such as lower cold-related mortality and greater crop yields in temperate zones, but these benefits will be greatly outweighed by increased rates of other diseases, particularly infectious diseases and malnutrition in low-income countries. A proportional increase in cardiovascular disease mortality attributable to climate extremes is projected in tropical regions, and a small benefit in temperate regions. Climate change is projected to increase the burden of diarrhoeal diseases in low-income regions by approximately 2 to 5% in 2020. Countries with an annual GDP per capita of US$6,000 or more are assumed to have no additional risk of diarrhoea. Coastal flooding is projected to result in a large proportional mortality increase under unmitigated emissions; however, this is applied to a low burden of disease, so the aggregate impact is small. The relative risk is projected to increase as much in high- as in low-income countries. Large changes are projected in the risk of Plasmodium falciparum malaria in countries at the edge of the current distribution, with relative changes being much smaller in areas that are currently highly endemic for malaria (McMichael et al., 2004; Haines et al., 2006).

The Prime Minister's report on the socioeconomic situation in 2015 and last five years presented to the 10th session of National Assembly (NA) XIII noted that despite many positive changes the economy still has a number of limitations and weaknesses to overcome.
Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung said that of the 14 targets set for 2015 there were 13 reached or exceeded, with only one target - forest coverage - falling short.
Of the 26 main targets in the five years from 2011 to 2015, 17 were achieved or exceeded while nine indicators were not met.
Most notably, GDP in 2105 is estimated at over 6.5 per cent - the highest for the last five years and exceeding the target of 6.2 per cent, the PM said.
Regarding bad debts, the PM said that as at September bad debts had fallen to 2.9 per cent and declined in 17 credit institutions, while liquidity and safety assurance systems have improved, contributing to macroeconomic stability.
The size of the stock market rose, with capitalization reaching 33 per cent of GDP, while the bond market is estimated to reach about 23 per cent by the end of the year.
The PM also indicated that the size and potential of the economy continue to grow. In the first nine months the number of new enterprises increased 28.5 per cent and registered capital was 31.4 per cent higher than in the same period of 2014. The number of operating business now stands at 525,000, an estimated 1.5-fold increase compared to the end of 2010.
Besides the positive changes in the socioeconomic situation, PM Dung also spoke of eight key weaknesses that must be overcome quickly.
The State budget structure is unsustainable, with a high budget deficit and increasing public debt; agricultural growth is low and agricultural exports face a range of challenges; the market economy does not operate well; capital markets are developing slowly; the labor market and the real estate sector are becoming more troublesome; labor productivity remains low; traffic order is limited; and there are many negative elements in culture and morality.
These limitations and weaknesses, according to the PM, are due to both objective and subjective reasons, but mostly subjective reasons.
The first is that awareness of Vietnam's socialist-oriented market economy in many areas remains unclear. Therefore, the creation of institutions and policies is yet to be in line with those needed for a market economy and do not drive the mobilization, allocation, and efficient use of resources for development.
The second reason is that the implementation of policies and resolutions from the party and laws and policies from the State are limited in many respects.
Leadership, management, and administration of the socioeconomy are not suitable, are ineffective, and are yet to meet the development requirements of a market economy and the country's international integration.
Finally, he pointed to lessons from the last five years in developing the country as being the need to take the interests of the country and its people as the highest goal and the necessity to improve accountability among government staff and especially among State and government leaders.

How to create and launch a brand
Guardian Masterclasses
Wednesday, December 5, 2018 from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM (GMT)
Event Details
Learn how to define and differentiate your brand, and plan a launch campaign that will make it famous, with marketing communications expert Barnaby Benson
Every organisation needs to differentiate its brand and plan how to promote it - but very few have the marketing budgets to commission branding, or ad agencies to provide the strategic thinking that will ensure success.
Whether you're a startup about to launch a new product or service, or an established company looking to revamp an existing one, Barnaby Benson's masterclass will provide you with the tools and know-how to plan how to position your brand and then get it noticed.
An experienced marketing and branding professional, Barnaby will take you through the qualities that define a brand - its purpose, positioning, personality and values - and help you develop your core proposition: what your brand offers that's compelling and unique.
As if that wasn't enough, you will also learn how to choose the marketing communication tools that will achieve the maximum impact from a modest budget, looking at how successful challenger brands have used visual and verbal identity, packaging, websites, online advertising, traditional advertising, sales emails, social media, events and PR.
You will leave this unmissable masterclass with a clear positioning statement for your product or service, and a marketing communication plan that sets out how you're going to promote your brand.
Strategy: defining your business purpose, assessing the market characteristics, identifying your target audience and setting your marketing objectives
Define your brand model: purpose, positioning, values, personality and proposition
Communications strategy planning: by looking at examples of brands that have achieved success through smart, selective use of two or three types of marketing communications, you'll see their potential. Then, you'll plan what would work best for your brand. We'll look at: visual identity, tone of voice, websites, social media, blogs/newsletters, traditional and online advertising, sales emails, packaging, events, sponsorship and public relations.
Completing your communications brief and implementing the plan: you'll learn what information you need to prepare powerful communications and a clear brief – either for your own use or to brief your suppliers.
This course is for...
Owners, managing directors and marketing managers of small and medium-sized organisations, startups and not-for-profits who want to differentiate and define their brand, then develop a low-budget – but impactful – marketing communications strategy.
Charity marketing managers who need to define their brand and refine their marketing communications but aren't sure where to start.
HR professionals who want to articulate their employer brand and plan an internal marketing communications campaign to influence employee perceptions, attitudes and behaviour.
Course preparation
You need to have a brand you want to promote.
Attendees should identify three brands they admire - one of which should be from their market.
Tutor profile
Barnaby Benson is a brand communications writer and strategist, trusted by many consultancies to help create and develop distinctive brands. His clients have included Investec for The Partners, Old Mutual for Brand Union and Barclays for Landor, plus Imperial College Business School for OPX.

Depending on which finance and investment bloggers you ask?
Uncle8888 has recently tobang this brand new Audi Q5 home a few times.
Why buy a new Audi Q5 when Audi's owner is going to retire soon on official retirement age?
Not frugal? Not financially savvy?
Actually; he wanted to buy a cheaper one; but his wife told him to get the Audi. She told him off. Do you want to bring your money to your coffin?
Hmm … Okay!
Depending on which finance and investment bloggers you ask?
Do we really want to bring tons of our money to the coffin and let others happily spend them for us?
Isn't better to spend on our beloved ones when we can still see them happily enjoying on our spending? …

Vicky Losada was on target against Zurich Frauen / PHOTO: FC BARCELONA
Vicky Losada is off to the Western New York Flash after the National Women's Soccer League club reached an agreement for her transfer from FC Barcelona. The FCB captain will be heading for Buffalo, the city where the club is based, on March 15 in time for the start of the regular season, the date on which the US franchise's federative rights to the player will come into effect. This means that the games against Transportes Alcaine, Levante Les Planes and Levante will be the last Vicky plays for Barça this season.
The club fully appreciates what a marvellous opportunity this is for the Terrassa-born player and has done all it can to support her with the move, wishing her every success with this exciting new stage of her career. After five years at FCB, this is a step upwards for Vicky into one of the strongest clubs in North America, and by extension, the world. She thus becomes the first FCB player to progress into the NWSL, considered one of the strongest competitions in the ladies game.
Vicky Losada has played an important role in the growth of the FC Barcelona women's team in recent years. She returned to the club in 2008 from Espanyol, and since then has led FCB to its only two Superliga titles, as well as two Spanish and four Catalan cups.
Vicky was made team captain this season and led the team to its best ever performance in the UEFA Women's Champions League, reaching the quarter finals, to be played in March against German side Wolfsburg.
Losada will now be plying her trade with the Western New York Flash, from Buffalo, NY, who won the regular season last term and in 2012 were runners-up in the WPSL Elite Championship.
At the Flash she will be playing alongside one of the best female players in the world, US international Abby Wambach. She will be joined in attack by another Spaniard, Adriana Martín, while the assistant coach at the club, Pedro Losa, also hails from Spain.

AGAINST THE DARKNESS began as a mini-opera based on one of the folk tales in the book Zen Flesh, Zen Bones compiled by Paul Reps. Several years after it was written, I was persuaded to recast the work as a purely instrumental chamber piece. The original story is about an arrogant monk's road to satori. Along the way, his hubris is challenged by an old woman who poses a koan, a philosophical question he can't answer. After much wandering and an agony of atonal self-doubt, he meets a famous Zen master and asks his advice. The master tells him to come back the next day, observes that it is dark outside, and hands the monk a lighted candle. But just as the monk takes the candle, the master blows it out, and in that instant the monk experiences sudden enlightenment. The music follows this general story line in three scenes depicting the initial arrogance, the baffling koan, and the final escape through enlightenment. Like the monk, the music fights its way through a tangled harmonic labyrinth, emerging at last in a fountain of pure C major to end in a mood of serene meditation.
PASATIEMPOS was composed in 1993 for a fellow student at a Spanish language school in Costa Rica and was first performed in a talent show at the end of the term. There are four short movements, and except for the title, there is nothing Latin American about it. The work also exists in a version for unaccompanied oboe.
The PARTITA for solo viola is the first of many little suites for unaccompanied instruments and the earliest composition I have kept. I was nineteen, newly married, and very happy at the time this was written. In a burst of optimism, I put aside my student work and abandoned the complex, empty, and essentially ugly music that was fashionable in music schools in those days. I turned instead to a music that was melody-driven, harmonically direct, and rhythmically dance-like. I wanted my music to fit the instrument so as to exploit the beautiful, traditional sonorities that came naturally to it. These ideals remained at the heart of nearly all my work for the next forty-eight years. The five short movements are titled Prelude, Caprice, Romance, Scherzo, and Charivari.
DIVERTIMENTO for unaccompanied bassoon dates from 1991 and was first performed by Alan Futterman for an audience of children at his daughter's grade school. The viola partita shows the obvious influence of Bartók, but this piece is much smoother in style and harks back to the Bach cello suites. The four movements are titled Praeludium, Aria, Menuetto, and Saltarello.
In 1957, while still in graduate school, I was much taken with the natural horn and wrote a number of pieces, including a concerto, that exploited the unique qualities of this old style of playing. The built-in diatonic nature of the horn fit perfectly with the diatonic, major-key tone world I was beginning to call my own. FLOURISHES are a selection of five duets from this period, and although in this recording they are played on modern valve horns, the original flavor remains. The movements are titled Fanfare, Scherzo, Intermezzo, Nocturne, and Ländler.
BEYOND THE CLOUDS is a suite of five pieces composed at various times in the sixties for Lynne Palmer who taught me all I know about the harp. The suite became part of her repertoire and through her students spread to many fine harpists in the Northwest. The pieces were conceived as dances in a quasi baroque style with a respectful bow to the old French clavecin masters.
CRADLE TUNE was composed in July 1999 for the birth of Saana Anita, daughter of Daniel and Irma Gordon in Plattsburgh, New York. Four months later, Dan and I played the first performance for the baby girl. She slept right through it!
HEART SPRINGS is a setting of four poems by Gerard Manley Hopkins. It was composed in 1958 for the girls' choir at Helen Bush School in Seattle and was first performed by them under the direction of Midge Bowman. This is another work from my "natural horn" period, and the character of the music clearly shows the influence of these special horn sounds.
Notes by J.D. Lamb
Repeat that, repeat.
Cuckoo, bird, and open ear wells,
heart-springs, delightfully sweet,
With a ballad, with a ballad, a rebound
Off trundled timber and scoops of the hillside ground,
hollow hollow hollow ground:
The whole landscape flushes on a sudden at a sound.
Margaret, are you grieving
Over Goldengrove unleaving?
Leaves like the things of man, you
With your fresh thoughts care for, can you?
Ah! as the heart grows older
It will come to such sights colder
By and by,
Though worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie;
And yet you will weep and know why.
Now no matter, child, the name:
Sorrow's springs are the same.
Nor mouth had, no nor mind, expressed
What heart heard of, ghost guessed;
It is the blight that man was born for,
It is Margaret you mourn for.
A nun takes the veil
I have desired to go
Where springs not fail,
To fields where flies no sharp and sided hail
And a few lilies blow.
And I have asked to be
Where no storms come,
Where the green swell is in the havens dumb,
And out of the swing of the sea.
This darksome burn, horseback brown,
His rollrock highroad roaring down,
In coop and in comb the fleece of his foam
Flutes and low to the lake falls home.
A windpuff-bonnet of fawn-froth
Turns and twindles over the broth
Of a pool so pitchblack, fell-frowning,
It rounds and rounds Despair to drowning.
Degged with dew, dappled with dew
Are the groins of the braes that the brook treads through,
Wiry heathpacks, flitches of fern,
And the beadbonny ash that sits over the burn.
What would the world be, once bereft
Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left,
O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.
Text by Gerard Manley Hopkins

Ask the doctor: What is the upper limit for omega-3 fats?
Q. There's a lot of publicity about omega-3 fats being beneficial for heart, mind, joints, eyes, and so on. There are over-the-counter products of varying size. So, this is my question: is there a daily upper limit on fish oil consumption?
A. There isn't an official upper limit, but for most people, I'd be inclined to draw the line at a gram — 1,000 milligrams (mg) — of omega-3s from fish oil a day.

The OPA694 is an ultra-wideband, low-power, current
feedback operational amplifier featuring high slew rate and
low differential gain/phase errors. An improved output
stage provides ±80mA output drive with < 1.5V output
voltage headroom. Low supply current with > 500MHz
bandwidth meets the requirements of high-density video
routers. Being a current feedback design, the OPA694
holds its bandwidth to very high gains—at a gain of 10, the
OPA694 will still provide 200MHz bandwidth.
RF applications can use the OPA694 as a low-power SAW
pre-amplifier. Extremely high 3rd-order intercept is
provided through 70MHz at much lower quiescent power
than many typical RF amplifiers.
The OPA694 is available in an industry-standard pinout in both SO-8 and SOT23-5 packages.

The Farce Report took part in some investigative reporting to find out if furniture could talk, what would it say?
We took the latest in furniture analyzation technology to bring you the thoughts and words of real furniture. We even gave each piece of furniture we tested a personality test to really understand what furniture is like in the dark. What we found out might shock you. Mainly, furniture is kind of a jerk.
Lamps are bi-polar. One minute they're hot and excited, the next they're cold and dark. It's hard to get to know a lamp because they're always screaming, almost uncontrollably. Most questions were answered the same for the lamp. For example, when we asked it if it had dreams, it replied, "AARGG I'M A F*CKING LAMMMPP." When we asked it felt sympathy for human kind it said, "AARGG I'M A F*CKING LAMMMPP."
Couches are actually pretty big lazy sacks of crap with Cheetos crumbs all over them. They just sit there all day acting all frumpy and dumb. All the other furniture hates the couch for its gluttony, often taking up more than half the room. Almost all the furniture had something bad to say about the couch except for the lamp which said, "AARGG I'M A F*CKING LAMMMPP."
Dining Room Table
The most popular of the furniture, it's one of the only places that an entire party can surround. Unfortunately it makes the dining table very arrogant and, honestly, kind of an annoying douche. If it had hands, it'd be one of those guys that raises its hand for a high five, then takes it away.
The Bookshelf
Well, hello Mr. Know-it-All. The Bookshelf will not shut up, and everything thing it says makes everyone in the room really uncomfortable. We get it, you've read Sartre and Nietzsche, but talking about the black abyss of nothingness that is a furniture's life does not help make the Lay-Z-Boy more comfortable.
Sad Patio Furniture
Venture outside and you'll meet this depressing piece of forgotten metal (or wood) and fabric. No one likes the patio furniture and it knows it. It revels in it. It enjoys the rain and the soul-crushing sun that beats down on its rusted metal. Sorry, buddy, but you deserve it.
Truly a crappy life.

I don't buy prepared soups anymore. It's not so much that the ingredients are generic and rather tasteless. Sodium is the main culprit, with inferior soup stock close on its heals. Months long frozen carrots and ultra processed chicken cubes just don't flavor a soup. Panera's soups seem to be different. I tasted their low fat chicken noodle soup and it surpassed leading brand canned soups by far. It was simply less salty which meant less encumbered chicken flavor with gentler yet unmistakable carrot and noodle undertones. Perfect for satisfying your chicken noodle soup cravings when it's not on the menu in your own kitchen!

I think the last time Carlos Bustamante talked with a blogger was when he dropped his now infamous "water-bra" joke on Red County's Matt Cunningham and former LATimes reporter Christian Berthelsen in the Hall of Administration. Well Carlos had something to say the other day so I joined other local bloggers for a brief meeting with the Santa Ana City Councilman to discuss what he termed a "clarification" meeting.
Okay I'm curious, I thought to myself. What on earth would Carlos want to clarify?
Well, it turns out that Carlos wanted to let us know that Art Pedroza actually got something right for a change. Carlos told us that he was the mystery "constituent" who tipped off Supervisor Moorlach to Planned Parenthood getting Tobacco Settlement money from the Health Care Agency. Carlos further explained that while he was successful in his City Council re-election campaign he was upset that Planned Parenthood had caused him to have to raise and spend more money than he had planned by endorsing Art Pedroza.
I asked Carlos why he waited so long to reveal the information to Moorlach and why he was coming forward now to claim responsibility. "I thought about this for a long time, as a County manager I m part of the club, revealing this information to Moorlach breaks an unwritten code not to reveal our secrets to the electeds." Bustamante added; "I have come forward because I had heard that people are starting to claim assistant CEO Rob Richardson was behind it and that is simply not true."
So, it turns out Art Pedroza's voices actually spoke to him the truth. Go figure.

I love Google
There's also another side to Google, one that's also endearing if not essential in the company's righteous path to brilliance. Everything starts with the fact that Google built the better search engine, but it's the way that Google has been able to stack incremental goodies on top of that invention that has truly made the company a hottie.
See, some folks quit after they build the better mousetrap. Not Google. It has gone on to market the mousetrap, paint it in different colors, and make a further aggressive push into tasty rat bait.
There's really just one thing that could bring Google down, but let's go over the sheer genius of Google first to see whether you can figure it out for yourself.
A Google is born
Our Rule Breakers newsletter service aims to pick out exceptional companies long before the greater investing public catches on. In Google's case, the company went public late into its consumer-acceptance phase. Last year's successful IPO had it priced at $23 billion -- though it bears noting that the stock went on to more than double from that point.
My first realization that Google had something special came years ago. In the summer of 2000, my parents were kind enough to take their children and grandchildren on a Hawaiian cruise. I packed all the tropical clothing that I could muster, along with a cozy Google t-shirt that I had recently acquired.
At one of the more obscure ports of call, some islanders came onboard to set up makeshift market kiosks selling handmade crafts. I was browsing when one of the merchants pointed to my shirt.
"Google," she said.
I nodded, figuring that she, like so many others on the ship, thought that it was some funny, made-up word. I was wrong. She went on to praise the search engine and referenced all of the obscure Web pages that she was able to uncover thanks to Google. She got it.
I bought a trinket.
Growing in all the right directions
Yes, through algorithmic finesse, proprietary page-rank pinpointing, and active spidering, Google had established the most relevant and complete online directory. It was so good that even the mighty Yahoo!
But wouldn't you know it -- in a tale with parallels to how Microsoft
Imagine Mickey D's serving up Whoppers. Consumers would quickly catch on and make a beeline to the Burger King drive-thru lane. Likewise, more and more Internet users seeing Google on other sites began to go straight to the source. Can I ask for a show of hands to see who has Google.com set as a homepage? I'd be one of that group if I weren't glued to fool.com.
But if Google had settled for offering just search results, it would have had a somewhat futile business model. Then along came a tiny company called GoTo.com. Before GoTo became Overture and ultimately got absorbed into the Yahoo! bloodstream, search engines had the thankless task of drawing only people who wanted to go somewhere else. So GoTo added a twist: Rather than just serve up the most relevant search results, it also featured the sites that had bid the highest for the exposure.
At the time, the idea of paid search seemed to walk an ethical line. Venture capitalists were too busy in the late 1990s throwing their money at eyeball magnets rather than at this second-tier operator, which was actually profiting from people whom it was ultimately sending somewhere else. But then, when the dot-com bubble popped and owners of search engines needed real money instead of page views, they abandoned efforts to expand their portals and turned to what had become Overture to help monetize their search results.
No great idea goes uncopied. Google rolled out AdWords Select just over three years ago so it could sell its own text ads, for which sponsors would bid as little as a nickel for each interested click.
That's when the name of the game shifted from the quantity of eyeballs to the quality of those same peepers. Google had always remained true to its search roots, but now, it found a financial interest in becoming more than just that -- as long as it could make its virtual billboards stick. So it launched its own browser toolbar to hold on to its search-hungry audience. It launched Gmail, where it could place contextual ads alongside the free email service; it also raised storage limits to put a dent in Yahoo!'s and Microsoft's free email offerings. It became a more active e-commerce cheerleader by rolling out Froogle. And it acquired newsgroup reader Deja.com and leading blog site Blogger.com. In every single case, the company recognized that it was venturing further into online real estate that would help further disseminate its AdWords submissions.
Then, while Google and the Overture-blessed Yahoo! were busy courting major sites to feature their ads in exchange for a piece of the action, Google launched its AdSense service, aiming at small and medium-size content sites. Not only did that brilliant move help Google stretch its reach even further -- these days, roughly half of Google's ad revenues come from third-party sites hosting Google's text ads -- but it was also able to wallpaper "Ads by Google" all over cyberspace to help draw in even more sponsors.
The 98% basket
You shouldn't be surprised to find that 98% of Google's business comes from advertising. Although the source of the company's brawn may also be its Achilles' heel, Google's potentially fatal flaw is more complicated than that. See, online advertising isn't going away. It will only get more popular and will become a larger part of any logical marketing campaign. You can't target as effectively or generate tracking accountability as precisely offline. The migration will continue. Don't worry about that.
The real concerns here lie a few layers lower. Four questions need to be answered.
1. Will Google's real estate grow larger than its billboard marketing?
This may not seem like it's really a problem. When you see a bus-stop bench or a vacant billboard plastered with a "Rent This Space" pitch, you don't feel sorry for the source, because you realize that self-promotion fills the void and that, eventually, an advertiser will come along to fill that space with some eye candy. But for Google to grow its page views without an equal uptick in high-paying sponsors creates a disparity. It means that Google's highest bidders have been bled dry and that the nickel bidders are the ones being showcased. In other words, an incremental growth in page views does not result in a similar spike in ad revenue.
2. Will click fraud destroy the medium?
Click fraud takes many forms online. An AdSense publisher can click on the Google ad links on his own site (or can encourage others to do so), and rivals can click on a competitor's ads to bleed the opponent's ad budget dry. These realities make Google's tracking technology critical -- it has to boot out the cheating AdSense publishers and refund assaulted sponsors. For the most part, Google has been ambitious on this front, but if you search for the term "click on the ads" or "click the ads," you'll always find a new wave of deceptive publishers looking to cheat the system. There's also been at least one case in which someone tried to blackmail Google by threatening to unleash a "click-bot" that would spawn invalid clicks throughout the company's network.
Click fraud is a crippler in the long term. Just as an advertiser would be fuming if a magazine fibbed about its circulation size or a mail campaign chucked a bunch of fliers into the dumpster, click fraud is enough to upset any legitimate sponsor. Paid search can be cheap enough to allow for the reality of click fraud if it grows unchecked, forcing sponsors to either bid less or not bid at all through Google's ad network. If that happens, the big G will suffer.
3. Will sponsors bid smarter?
When Time Warner
Yes, your placement dips when you go the minimum, but if a company spent $0.40 a click and then launched the same campaign at $0.20 only to get half as many clicks, it would still only have paid a quarter of what it used to. The first concern, that Google may be growing its ad space quicker than its ads, may even open up the argument for the same company to try its hand at nickel bids. Sure, Google can raise its minimums. Yahoo! Overture has its minimum at a dime. But with supply so critical, and with Microsoft ready to enter the paid-search market, Google wouldn't be making the best tactical move if it did that. There was a time when folks on Overture, like ambulance-chasing lawyers or big-ticket vendors, would bid as much as $50 or $100 for each click. Save for a few naive upstarts that learn quickly, those days are pretty much over.
4. Will clickers click smarter?
Text ads are still an attractive novelty. When graphical banner ads launched in the mid-1990s, they were clicked on just 2% of the time. According to banner-ad specialist DoubleClick
If those questions don't go Google's way, it could spell big trouble. After all, if folks are clicking less and sponsors are paying less per click, Google gets hit with a double whammy. If sponsors grow weary of online fraud while Google continues to grow its page views, how will Google monetize the empty spaces?
I don't think it will come to that. Google has been brilliant until now, and I'll stay optimistic. Then again, I did say that I love Google, and that may be blinding me to the chinks in its armor.

Lusaka, Friday, March 3, 2017: COMESA is promoting a combined $500 million worth of projects in Malawi geared towards regional trade and integration. The projects are mainly in manufacturing, energy and agriculture.
Secretary General Sindiso Ngwenya told the new Malawi Permanent Representative to COMESA H.E Warren Bamus Gunda that Malawi has played leading roles in achieving many integration milestones.
"The COMESA Treaty came into force in Malawi on 8 December 1994 during the tenure of the Prof Bingu Wa Mutharika as the Secretary General of COMESA who was also its architect,†Mr Ngwenya said.
He said Prof Wa Mutharika who later became the President of Malawi, was the architect of the Treaty and also oversaw the transition of the Preferential Trade Area (PTA) to COMESA.
Mr Gunda who is also the High Commissioner of Malawi to Zambia was at the COMESA Secretariat to pay a courtesy call on the Secretary General and to discuss regional integration matters. This was in addition to facilitating a planned mission by the Secretary General to Malawi.
Malawi is a founding Member of COMESA and participates in many regional development initiatives and even security programmes. It is part of the intervention brigade involved in peace keeping in the eastern frontier of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Social Psychology Careers
What is Social Psychology?
Social psychology is an exciting, research focused field which explores how people are affected by the presence or perceived presence of others, as well as how people perceive themselves. Topics of research people often pursue in their social psychology careers include things such as prejudice and stereotyping, impression formation, group interactions, relationships, and persuasion. Social psychologists are not clinical psychologists and therefore do not work as therapists. Social psychology careers focus on creating and publishing scientific research which helps to build a better scientific understanding of human behavior or to formulate ways to make the world a better place.
Education Required for a Career in Social Psychology
A top notch education is an absolute must for social psychology careers. A good starting point is a bachelor of science degree in either psychology or a related field such as neuroscience, biology, statistics, or sociology from a reputable university. You can not have a social psychology career without completing a doctoral degree program at a well regarded university. Getting into a good graduate program is critical to professional success in ones social psychology career, as jobs in this field tend to be very competitive, with many highly qualified applicants applying for each opening. Many people complete masters degree programs if they are unable to gain entrance directly into Ph.D. programs after completing their undergraduate degrees, which is also an acceptable course.
During graduate school, potential social psychologists will be expected to become proficient at designing and executing research independently. In high quality programs, they will do this by conducting independent research under the supervision of a senior professor who shares similar research interests to the student and will serve as their academic advisor. Graduate students will also be expected to complete course work which will give them a firm understating of the field as a whole, statistics, and a working knowledge of related fields which may be influential to their own research interests. Many programs include a comprehensive exam and or a thesis system in which students are expected to demonstrate an acceptable level of knowledge in these areas.
Careers in Social Psychology
Most people spend their social psychology careers working as professors at universities or as researchers in private organizations. Professorships offer social psychologists the ability to pursue their own lines of research which interest them, rather than having to pursue someone else's research interests. However, professorships mean that you will have to teach at least some classes most semesters, and because this is often seen as undesirable, some may choose to pursue a more applied career course. People who find that they enjoy teaching could also find positions workings as professors at non-research focused institutions which encourage them to focus on teaching rather than research.
Applied social psychology careers often focus on creating interventions that help increase healthy behaviors, ameliorate negative environmental influence, or which help people learn to perceive themselves in a more positive light. Another way that social psychology careers can go is more focused on industry. Many social psychologists are employed by marketing firms as advertisers or as work place consultants who try to solve problems related to coordination among employees.
Getting Started in Social Psychology
Getting started in your social psychology career will differ greatly depending on where you are at in terms of level of educational attainment. If you are currently an undergraduate or soon will be, consider taking some courses at your university in social psychology or other related fields. If you have already completed your undergraduate degree, you should probably still consider taking a few courses in the area if you did not do so as an undergraduate, perhaps through night school programs at your local community college.Another necessary step to starting a social psychology career at any level of educational attainment is gaining research experience. This is an absolute must if you hope to gain admission to a high quality graduate program. A good way to do this is to contact research psychologists at your local university to see if you could help them out in their labs as a volunteer research assistant. You may even be able to find a part time job doing this for some extra cash. To gain admission to graduate school, you will also need to spend some time studying for and taking the GRE. Doing well on the GRE is absolutely critical to gaining admission to a reputable graduate program which will give you the opportunity to begin a social psychology career. Once you have completed a graduate program in social psychology, your academic advisor will help you in tracking down jobs in academic settings, or your professional contacts should put you in a good position to locate employers looking for people who do your variety of applied research.

|"Didn't you just do that? I feel like you just did that..."
|"Yeeees, of course I did. But one week wasn't long enough..."
|"So. I'm taking another break. And that's that."
|"Well, hurrah for you!"
Actually, I don't know if it's "hurrah" or not, but I'm pretty sure it's necessary. You see, I'm feeling rather burned out. There are so many projects piling up on me, and I'm starting to sense that cloud of stress descending upon me. I know I need to cut back on something, and since blogging is my number one distraction--and the thing that takes up the largest amount of my time--I figured that's what needs to go. And yes, I know. This is horrible timing, considering that August is going to be the Month of the Blog Parties, but I really don't know what else to do.
I won't be posting at all during the month of August (unless, of course, some unforeseen circumstance arises to change that), and I'm also going to be a lousy friend and not do any commenting because, to be honest, commenting takes up SO much of my time. (Because I'm a perfectionist, and I like to comment on as many of my friends posts as I can--as soon as I can--and if there are a lot of posts coming in, well...let's just say I have a tendency to neglect other projects in attempting to stay on top of that one.)
Anyway. All that to say...
Naomi, Olivia, and Emma. I'm really sorry I won't be able to participate in your blog parties, but I want you to know that I will still be reading and enjoying your posts. (In fact, I'll probably be enjoying them more simply because I'll be able to read them at my leisure without worrying about finding that large, elusive chunk of time in which to read and comment. :))
I guess that's all I wanted to say. I hope you all have a lovely August, and I'll see you in September! :D

Lex Luthor Faces Death
If the rumored rule about crossover between the characters of the DC Comics superhero universe and members of the publisher's Vertigo line being off limits was ever true, that rule seems to be breaking.
Today, the company announced via The Source that in October's "Action Comics" #894, newly-minted writer Paul Cornell will pit Lex Luthor against Death from Neil Gaimain's "The Sandman." This won't be the first time that one of Gaimain's Endless characters have crossed over into the DCU proper – that honor goes to Grant Morrison from a 1998 "JLA" storyline -Â however, it has been years since the two worlds have interacted with much speculation being made as to why in the intervening time.
With the news out on Death's return hitting the web, CBR News spoke with Cornell about the genesis of the character's inclusion in his Lex Luthor-starring, villain-heavy "Action" arc, how he intends to keep her appearance well in line with Vertigo stories of the past and what he feels his future with Vertigo may be.
CBR News: Paul, you spoke a bit in the release about using Death in "Action" being an idea that you brought to DC. Did you think that it would be an easy thing for you to make happen, or did you just say, "I guess I'll throw this out there and see if we can make it happen"?
Paul Cornell: A little bit of both, really. I was asked by Matt Idelson and Wil Moss to provide a kind of shopping list of big DC villains that I wanted to use, and I knew I wanted to take Lex into all sorts of directions and settings to meet villains he really hadn't encountered for long at all. I knew I wanted to take him to areas he hadn't been, and one of those areas was the supernatural/the theological. I initially thought, "Oh, there's the Black Racer for Kirby's Fourth World books! The guy on the skis – that's the personification of Death there." I had happily been thinking of pitching that, and then suddenly it occurred to me that there's another Death, isn't there, that's from even further across the reach of the DC Universes. I pitched it to Wil and Matt, and they said, "Really? What?!?" and it took them a couple of days to wrap their heads around it and see if it was possible. Then I set up to talk to Neil and had a word with Neil, not expecting him to say yes, but he said yes!
I saw that the two have you have been Tweeting back and forth in oblique terms over the past few days. You both seem to travel in similar circles from sci-fi to TV to comics. Have you known each other long?
We got to know each other in recent years. He's a lovely man and we're basically puttering around the field of British television together a bit. I've read an awful lot of his work over the years, and it's absolutely terrific to know him as a person.
Off the top of my head, I know there are several instances where the cast of "Sandman" have made their way into other books at Vertigo and DC, but I don't recall if anyone has ever written Death except Neil.
Grant Morrison did in "JLA" I think.
I haven't read that story with Daniel in years. In either event, what is it like to coming on to a character that's SO closely associated with a writer like Death is with Neil?
I'm obviously going to be really careful. Neil will have a look at the script. I'm not sure if he's asked to look at the script, I'd just like him to. [Laughs] It's going to be very much in a Vertigo mold. This isn't going to be a superhero battle between Lex Luthor and Death. It's going to be Death doing what Death always does, and it's a very intense book-long conversation/debate between Death and this delicious, huge DCU supervillain in the form of Lex Luthor. Basically, Lex is a very, very clever individual who asks that, now that she's come for him – and she has because of what's happened in the previous issue, which is to say he's dying -Â can he talk his way out of this? And the answer to that is no, I'd think. I think we'll just have to stop the book there. "Action Comics" will just cease.[Laughs]
You'll just be the man who's killed DC's marquee title.
My wife said when I first got the book, "Well, at least they can't cancel 'Action Comics.'" [Laughter]
One of the things a lot of people have talked about lately and something I asked Jim Lee and Dan Didio of late is the idea of whether or not there's a moratorium on characters that were once DCU but went to Vertigo coming back, or characters who are Vertigo but are technically connected to the DCU being used in DC books. The permeability of that divide seems to be in doubt in terms of corporate policy as its been a long time since we've seen the two world crossing over. What was your experience in terms of whether or not there was any discussion at DC of you being allowed to do that?
I'm not sure if there is a policy or what the policy is, because we went to Neil and we went to Vertigo, and once Neil said yes, Vertigo said yes. So I'm not sure if this is a one off or not. I suspect it's a one off. We're not going back there again. We're quite content to have done our one thing, and I honestly don't know about the politics of it all. It all seemed very, very straightforward this time around.
Considering this and your DC exclusive status, might you have a Vertigo series of your own percolating for the near future?
Well, it has always been my ambition to write a Vertigo series. I must say, I'd really like it to be something of my own with my own room to play, and we shall see if that comes to pass. As much as I love the Sandman Universe – and I really do, not just Neil's original but Mike Carey's "Lucifer" as well as many other titles -Â I'd like to launch something of my own in the Vertigo world. But goodness, let's just see if it happens.
"Action Comics" #894 by Cornell and Pete Woods and featuring Neil Gaiman's Death will be in comic shops in October.

Note: If you came here from HTLAL, please read my addendum here.
I hate fake polyglots. You may have heard of them – those people who say they speak five, ten, fifteen languages fluently and post video evidence on YouTube to prove it. The vast majority of people seem to take these videos at face value because most of us don't speak multiple languages.
One of these alleged polyglots was even profiled in the New York Times. I found the link through a language-learning friend's Twitter feed. Though I cannot judge his alleged fluency in most of his foreign languages, I was able to find this video of him speaking Russian. It annoys me that the article implies that he is fluent in Russian because he is most definitely not. He's fluent in Russian in the way I'm fluent in French – that is to say, not at all.
The video on the main page of the article is worth watching, though. I think it's interesting that researchers have found that many hyperpolyglots (people fluent, or allegedly fluent, in an insane amount of languages) are male, left-handed, and love arcane, in-depth study of grammar that would bore most other people. I'm not male, but I do fit the other two criteria.
There are very few people on the internet who actually have fluency in multiple languages. One is Jana Fadness, one of my favorite language bloggers ever and the other is Susanna Zaraysky. No doubt there are more people out there who actually possess the fluency they claim
It may seem like this post is motivated by jealousy, that I'm griping because I don't speak multiple foreign languages. I'm really not because ultimately, I would rather speak one foreign language very well than many mediocre (or worse than mediocre) level.

In 1956, the story goes, Estes Kefauver, then a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, stopped at the supermarket and bought a packaged cherry pie. The picture on the package showed a slice stuffed with cherries. The pie inside the box, however, was mostly crust. Furious, the senator from Tennessee introduced the first comprehensive legislation against deceptive food labeling.
Nearly 30 years later, Sen. Howard M. Metzenbaum, D-Ohio, and Paula Hawkins, R-Fla., introduced a bill expanding that legislation by requiring that the sodium, potassium and fat content of all foods be listed on the label.
``How can anybody resist the right of all Americans to know what`s in the food they buy?`` Metzenbaum said. ``Right now they do not.``
In the decades between these two events, there have been numerous changes in food labeling requirements. ``There is a lot more information on today`s labels,`` says Ronald Brewington, director of the food standards and labeling division of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which reviews 120,000 labels each month. ``The argument now is between whether there should be more or whether what is there is too confusing.``
Some of the fine print is required by law. The Departments of Agriculture and Commerce, the Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Trade Commission are among the agencies that have a hand in regulating labels. There are rules against misleading photos on boxes of food, requirements for the disclosure of ingredients and limits on the use of descriptive words such as ``lean`` and ``low calorie.``
Where there are no rules, many manufacturers voluntarily have increased the amount of information on labels.
``Consumers are asking for more, reading more carefully, and manufacturers are responding,`` says Joseph Conoscenti, brand manager of spices and extracts for McCormick Spice, which last year changed the name of its Lemon and Pepper Seasoning to Lemon and Pepper Seasoning Salt in an attempt to reflect the product`s true ingredients.

News Releases by Email
News Release
Monday, July 24, 2017
Media contact: Amanda Nalley, 850-410-4943 or firstname.lastname@example.com
As a precautionary measure due to a naturally occurring algae bloom in St. Joseph Bay that affects shellfish, the bay scallop harvest originally scheduled to begin on July 25th in Gulf County waters will be temporarily postponed. This postponement includes all state waters from the Mexico Beach Canal in Bay County through the westernmost point of St. Vincent Island in Franklin County. This does not impact other areas currently open for a recreational harvest. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is working closely with partners on this postponement including the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS), which has also issued a precautionary closure for the harvest of clams, mussels and oysters in St. Joseph Bay.
FWC staff is coordinating with the Florida Department of Health, Florida Department of Environmental Protection and FDACS and they will continue to provide support and assistance as necessary. All agencies take all algal blooms seriously and will continue to respond quickly and effectively to ensure the health and safety of Floridians, visitors and our natural resources.
The scallop season is expected to be closed a minimum of two weeks. The FWC will conduct aggressive outreach efforts about the postponed season. The FWC and FDACS will continue sampling and testing scallops and other shellfish in the bay to determine when they are safe for consumption and will continue to work with the local community to determine options on the remainder of the season. More information will be issued once a season opening date has been determined and that date will be posted on the bay scallop page which can be found at MyFWC.com/Fishing by clicking on "Saltwater Fishing," "Recreational Regulations" and "Bay Scallops." Reopenings of clam, mussel or oyster harvest will be listed on the FDACS website at http://shellfish.floridaaquaculture.com/seas/seas_centralgulf.htm.
In areas outside of Gulf County, the bay scallop season in state waters from the Fenholloway River in Taylor County to the Suwannee River in Dixie County is currently open to harvest and will close to harvest on Sept. 10. All other waters open to harvest (Pasco-Hernando county line to the Suwannee River and from the Fenholloway River in Taylor County through the westernmost point of St. Vincent Island in Franklin County) will close to harvest Sept. 25 (see map below).
This algae bloom does not harm scallops directly and shouldn't cause scallop population declines. While scallops may appear healthy, they should not be consumed until FWC has issued a new statement opening the season. This algae bloom should not impact other recreational activities on St. Joseph bay.
Pseudo-nitzschia is a naturally occurring microscopic alga that in some cases can produce domoic acid, which can negatively impact marine mammals and seabirds and can cause Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning (ASP) in humans if contaminated shellfish are consumed. Domoic acid has been confirmed in seawater and scallop samples from St. Joseph Bay. Domoic acid does not impact finfish, but they should be carefully cleaned prior to being eaten. The best way to protect yourself is to heed closure warnings and not consume shellfish in the closed areas.
If you are experiencing symptoms of ASP, contact your primary care provider. You may also want to contact the Florida Poison Control Hotline – 1-800-222-1222. For Department of Health questions, please call 850-245-4250.

Denmark-based tanker owner TORM says it has ordered four newbuild LR2 tankers from Guangzhou Shipyard International (GSI) in China for $200 million, with options to build up to six additional tankers.
The four LR2 tankers are scheduled for delivery in fourth quarter of 2017 and the second quarter of 2018. The six options may be within the LR2, LR1 or MR segments with expected delivery in 2018 and 2019.
The order marks the first newbuild order for TORM since 2008.
The company said it utilized its long-term relationship with GSI and China State Shipbuilding Corporation to
source the contract. TORM already has 16 GSI vessels in the current fleet, and it has had good technical and commercial experience with these vessels.
"I am very pleased that TORM has utilized its long-term relationship with Guangzhou Shipyard International to enter into an agreement to purchase four LR2 newbuildings with an option for an additional six vessels. Given the market outlook, we see this as an attractive way to grow and renew our LR2 fleet at a favorable price", says CEO Jacob Meldgaard.

Alluringly exotic, the Tatler Russia June 2013 beauty editorial focuses on the fun theme of bird-watching. Nevertheless, it sensualizes the hobby by introducing model Jessica Pitti as the bird watcher. Not to mention that the species she is interested in are birds of paradise. It is these colorful creatures that inspire her makeup looks.
The use of vibrant multi-colored eyeshadows and bold lips, all courtesy of makeup artist Katarina Håkansson, throughout the Tatler Russia June 2013 beauty editorial accentuates the theme as well as the locale. Shot by photographer Marcus Ohlsson, the brunette beauty is captured amidst trees and leaves. She was outfitted by stylist Anya Ziourova, who played with chunky jewelry and animal-print pieces to enrich the looks.

Recent medical studies have demonstrated the benefit of moderate sun exposure on overall health. Vitamin D receptors in cells, receptors in the epidermis as well as the role Vitamin D plays in immune system health and gene expression, it is obvious that having adequate amounts of Vitamin D is important to our health. However, the primary source of Vitamin D for humans (and the most effective) is exposure to sunlight.
There are several issues associated with this (over-exposure which we'll discuss today) and under exposure which we'll discuss another time.
We have all seen them. Active, healthy, outdoor enthusiasts who have the body of a 25 year old and the skin of a 65 year old! So how, do we, as outdoor loving adventure enthusiasts prevent ourselves from looking like a baseball glove? There are two key aspects to limiting and dealing with sun damage: moderation and supplementation.
The best and most natural method to dealing with sun exposure is to limit exposure to the sun during times when the sun is the strongest, either by covering up or by shortening exposure time (or a combination of both). Spending most of your outdoor time in the early to mid morning and evening to dusk will allow you to forgo sunscreen and enjoy the suns rays and absorb vitamin D. Alternatively during high-sun times, the judicious use of lightweight long sleeve cover ups, a hat and sunglasses will do wonders to protect your skin.
Two types of supplementation will allow us to effectively deal with sun exposure, oral supplementation and dermal supplementation (I.e., sunscreen). The use of oral supplementation such as taking fish oil (omega-3 fatty acids) drinking tea (anti-oxidants) allows our bodies to deal with increased oxidative stress, free radicals and DNA da,age that go along with over-exposure to sunlight. Studies have shown that the ingestion of lycopene (found in tomatoes) provides significant protection against sun burn and sun damage (try 3 tablespoons of tomato paste daily in one of your meals).
The use of sunscreen is important. The most important use of sunscreen is likely in your daily facial moisturizer, shoot for an SPF of 20-25 in your daily face product. For beach days SPF 30 applied every 2-hours should do the trick.
The use of these methods should keep your face and skin looking as good as your body. Please remember to visit the dermatologist regularly and have your moles checked for early signs of skin cancer, as early detection leads to substantially increased survival ratesRead More →

Irish Soda Bread (Co.Cavan)
Chef's Note
"This recipe was passed down to me by my Dad's Aunt. I have added a tweak that does not effect the original recipe at all. I find that it's not to dry as some soda breads can be. Has a nice slightly sweet flavor to it, but not too much that it tastes like a cake, it's a bread. I love this recipe and I admit I don't make it nearly enough. Enjoy"
READY IN:50mins
YIELD:1 rounded loaf
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 1⁄4 cups flour
- 1 1⁄4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 3 1⁄2 tablespoons sugar (plus what falls into bowl LOL)
- 1⁄4 cup butter, I use butter flavor crisco
- 3⁄4-1 cup raisins (soaked in warm water until plumped. My tweak is to use Jameson's, just a little bit more than to cov)
- 2 teaspoons caraway seeds
- 1 egg
- 2⁄3 cup buttermilk
- In a large bowl, sift together the dry ingredients.
- Cut the butter or Crisco into chunks and mix into the dry with a pastry cutter until well mixed.
- Then add the raisins and caraway seeds.
- In a smaller bowl mix the egg with the buttermilk until blended.
- Pour the wet into the dry and mix together when it starts to form a ball then go in to the bowl with your hands and mix the rest together until all mixed (dough is sticky) then form a bla and place it on a greased cookie sheet. Let sit for 10 minutes (it rises) then cut an X across the top and brush with milk. Bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown. I find the more loaves I bake you need to lessen the bake time , my first 2 took the 35 minutes the last 2 only 25
- I recommend letting it cool slightly, then while still warm enjoy a slice with a lot of butter and huge cup of tea. Some clotted cream and jam would be nice too.
