Are you keen on learning the Greek letters but you find yourself struggling with remembering the sounds?
Whether you come from a Latin based script as the one we use in English, Portuguese or Turkish or from a completely different to Greek script such as Arabic or Chinese - to name a few - this post is for you!
I've asked Elena Gabrielli, who is an Italian teacher & an avid learner of languages, to share her tips.
Elena blogs about her language learning and teaching journey at Hitoritabi.
Hello! I'm Elena from Hitoritabi and I'm happy to be here on Alpha Beta Greek to give you a few tips on how to learn a language with a different script.
You may wonder "What does she know about languages with a different script?". I'm glad you asked!
I've been studying Japanese for many years now and it has not one, but three different sets of characters!
I have been regularly using the three strategies I'll tell about you in a minute and I hope they will help you with Greek, too.
Each strategy is best for one type of learner: visual, auditory or kinesthetic.
This means that your learning style can be based on vision, sound or movement.
Most people actually show a mix of different styles and I recommend you use all three strategies for a balanced and effective study routine. On to the practical bit!
#1 Visual learner: use Spaced Repetition System
A spaced repetition system (SRS) is basically flashcards meeting technology. With SRS you review the information right before you would forget it, at increasingly long intervals.
This helps your brain to keep the information fresh in your mind and, eventually, to remember it.
Two popular softwares based on SRS are Anki and Memrise.
On both you can find shared decks made by other users or create your own decks.
Taking some time and creating your own flashcards is great, as during this process you will already start building the foundations to memorise what you're studying.
This way you can also decide how to structure your cards in the most efficient way for you.
When studying a new script or alphabet, for example, you might want to have the letter on one side, and the audio, pronunciation, or both on the other.
If you are a visual learner adding graphic mnemonics to your cards could be just your cup of tea.
Mnemonics are cues or images you associate with a sign in order to remember it easily. You can find some examples online, but once again the most effective method is to create your own.
Why is this method great?
First of all, it's a science-based system, especially created with the purpose of helping people memorising things.
Second, it's perfect for busy learners as you can practice on the go from your phone whenever you have a couple of spare minutes: on the bus, while cooking or when queuing at the post office.
#2 Auditive learner: read out loud
You are probably used to reading only in your head in your own language and maybe you do the same even in your target language.
However, reading out loud is a useful exercise when learning a language and it can be one of your very first attempts at speaking when you're just starting out.
A good way to practice a different writing system is to read out loud several times a bit of text, not longer than a few sentences.
Choose a text you already read and analysed: it will allow you to focus only on sounds without worrying about the meaning.
Read it over a few times until you can read it at a satisfying speed. Then you can move on to a new bit of text.
This way you will not only practice the alphabet, but you will also memorise new vocabulary and grammar structures.
This exercise will train your brain to associate the signs and sounds automatically and after some practice you will start reading faster and making less mistakes.
Why is this method great?
This is only one exercise, but it's like a full-body training for your language learning: of course you practice reading in a different script, but memorise vocabulary, expressions and grammar structures as well. You also speak and work on your pronunciation.
Moreover, it's not too time consuming: you can easily fit ten minutes at the end of the day, right before going to sleep.
#3 Kinesthetic learner: learn it with your hand
Nowadays we write almost everything on a keyboard and rarely use pen and paper anymore.
When you're studying a new language though - even more so if it's a language with a different alphabet - writing down vocabulary and sentences on a notebook is the way to go.
When studying a different writing system it's beneficial to learn it with the muscles of your hand, too.
After some practice you'll be amazed to notice that your hand knows the characters and writes them down almost by itself.
Using this method is quite like learning to go on a bike: once you learn how to write the characters by hand, you won't forget it anymore.
First start by writing the whole alphabet, like you used to do as a child when you learned how to write in your own language.
Then write simple sentences for every letter, and later copy short texts you have analysed and understood. Finally, test yourself with dictation: you can use Danae's audio files for this.
Just like reading out loud, writing down can help you remember new words and grammar structures as well.
Why is this method great?
The benefits of keeping a notebook when learning a language are well known.
Not only you'll practice the alphabet, but you can also go back to your notes afterwards when you need to review your vocabulary.
This is also another exercise that you can fit in your daily routine easily: you just need to bring your notebook around with you.
Bonus: Sing it!
Because who am I trying to fool?
The one thing that helped me read quickly hiragana, katakana and kanji is karaoke.
Reading while singing (and possibly dancing…) not only involves all three main sensory receivers, but adds tons of fun to the process. In no time you'll be able to read faster than in your brighter dream, I promise.
And before you start saying that karaoke songs are only in Japanese, go on YouTube and search for Greek karaoke songs… you'll thank me later ;)

Vidar Update: Cleanup Crew – Razbury Games DevBlog (10/10/16)
Hi friends!
Back from a really excellent vacation abroad, and excited to tackle some more on Vidar. We're spiraling frantically towards Early Access, and the past few weeks focused on:
- Artistic modifications to continue to make the game feel more responsive;
- Bug fixes forever
- The first new content patch
I'm by no means an artist, but I'm pretty proud of some of the modifications I was able to make to the Stranger to get a few more animations possible.
With more testers, more bugs in the early part of the game are being reported – ranging from small little nits in the text to crashes in some of the rarer quests. Those have been addressed, and, mercifully, the Continue screen now opens *much* faster.
Finally, a great deal was done on the upcoming Content Patch (which will include the Library) – while it won't be ready for release for a few more weeks, it's nearly done and feeling like a really fun puzzle :)
For those who like things in list form, here you go!
Alpha Build 0.7.2.0
- Journal entry fixes
- Fixes to cutscene when receiving "Bury the Hatchet"
- Fixed a crash when receiving "Hair of the Dog"
- The entrance to the wolf cave now spawns
- You will not be given the option to bless graves for "Faith in the Dead" if that quest is already failed
- Ghosts will no longer gab while the option to enter a side-room is pending
- Added shadows to the Church back room
- Fixed passage issues in and around the castle ruins
- Continued cleaning graphics issues in Erik's cave
- Time now freezes in the Dark Cave Waypoint
- The UI correctly displays when entering the cave from a waypoint, and displays on Day 1
- Tint is properly removed if coming from the Ice Cave or Boulder Cave into the Dark Cave or Water Cave
- Fixed a passage issue in the back of Cecilia's house
- The tool UI appropriately displays in the waypoints (so you can use the Dark Cave waypoint)
- Fixed a graphical glitch related to the lightpillar
- Szabina now moves around in the castle ruins
- Climbing rope animation has been added; changed the functionality of ropes slightly to be more intuitive and graphically interesting
- Added the weather effect for real-real in the Ruins this time
- Added music to the Ruins
- Torches in the imp cave now use the lantern (like all other torches in the game)
- Brought the flicker on the torches in the imp cave down a little
- Footprint icons now will no longer hang over the edge of cliffs
- Fixed the back lights in the Hospital, Seamstress's Shop, and Barnabas's House
- Borbalo knows where the back room of the Church is now, he's less likely to get confused
- Statues will now no longer allow you to activate them if it would cause you to drown
- Item description fixes
- Added animations for falling
- The Save/Load/Continue screen should load much faster now
A pretty egregious bug has been found in the Mac build, so sadly no additional Steam key distribution for now – but give it a hot second and we'll get there!
See ya next week!

text: Childhood Stroke: The Affected Hand May 6, 2008 Stella K At age one, her right hand was always clenched to a fist and held close to her body. At age 3, her hand started to open but her thumb was always behind her other fingers. Her arm was bent causing stiffness to her limb. She wears an orthotic brace at night. At age 6, she can grasp medium to large objects but always with the help of her left hand. Her wrist remains limp but she has more strength in her arm. Regular therapy also helps lessen its stiffness.

The BBC has confirmed that Top Gear Season 26 will premiere on February 17th in the UK and most likely the following day on BBC America.
This season will see hosts Matt LeBlanc, Chris Harris, and Rory Reid embark on a series of adventures and feature some truly extraordinary cars. Season 26 will also be the final season to feature LeBlanc and Reid. The former Friends actor will leave the show due to its gruelling travel schedule while Reid will be dropped from Top Gear and simply host Extra Gear.
The departure of LeBlanc and Reid is a shame as they, alongside Harris, helped return Top Gear to its glory days once featuring Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May. They will be replaced by Paddy McGuinness and Andrew Flintoff for season 27.
In a statement, the BBC said this season will include "the best supercar alternatives to a family estate, racing to the top of a mountain using the smallest 4x4s in the UK, driving across Sri Lanka in Tuk-tuks, Chris Harris mostly sideways on our track in a Porsche 911 GT2 RS, and buying (and racing) used luxury cars for the price of a new Dacia Sandero."
A trailer released four weeks ago also showed a Bentley Continental GT, Ferrari GTC4Lusso, and Chris Harris driving a Bentley Speed 8 Le Mans Prototype.


text: It would be interesting to see how the city of Atlanta fares on total taxes. We have an 8.9 percent sales tax. The cost of water might be considered a tax. In Atlanta residential water costs 2.3 cents per gallon–possibly the highest in the world. The city is debating only clean energy (solar or wind) can be used in the city. This would double residential energy bills. If you left out the cost of housing, Atlanta may be the most expensive town in the U. S.

Hello blogosphere – it's been a minute!
Don't worry, I have a fairly legitimate explanation for my recent absence: I've been working on my coolest costume yet! I'm working on all-growed-up-Hiccup (Rugrats, anyone? No?) from the delightful, Golden Globe winning, Oscar nominated HTTYD2. This costume has so many little details and I've been making things and utilizing techniques that I've never used before…suffice it to say, it's been eating up pretty much all of my spare time and creativity. But good news is, it's coming along really well; actually, surprisingly well. Something usually goes wrong by this point, but so far I've been in the clear! Now let's move on to the topic of this post before I jinx myself any further.
I discovered a fabulous new app a little while ago that has been a terrific help in my cosplay shenanigans. I randomly happened upon somebody mentioning it in the comments section of one of Commander Holly's new videos on YouTube and I decided to check it out…I was not disappointed. This app is crazy helpful when it comes to organizing, planning, budgeting, documenting, etc. the entire process of making and showing off a costume. I mostly use it to have my shopping list and reference photos with me at all times, but there are a bunch of other features that are pretty darn cool. I've taken some screenshots of the app to prove it to you. So here's a little walk through:
When you first open the app, all of your past and present costumes appear for you to choose from with your progress on it shown as a percentage. Oh and an unsightly ad…ignore that.
If you select a costume that you're currently working on, Hiccup in my case, you'll have a bunch more options. The main tab gives you the opportunity to list all of the supplies that you have to buy and, below that, all of the elements that you have to make. For the 'To Buy' things, you can check them off when you've bought them and enter how much they cost. For the 'To Make' things, you can enter the % completed and how many hours you spent on it. WOW. Such organize.
In another window, you can attach your reference photos. This is INCREDIBLY handy. Having your shopping list and reference photos for colour choosing, etc. always at the ready is just brilliant.
Along the bottom you also have the option to write some notes on your costume:
And a preeeetty snazzy summary of the project. It's cool to see how much time you've invested / sad to see how much time you've wasted on the project (depends on how full your glass is?). It's also super helpful and practical and adult-y to see the total cost and how you're measuring up to your budget so that you're money doesn't just enter a black hole.
Now if we move onto a completed project, Anna in my case, you've got EVEN MORE options. I know, there's more. First, you can register which events you've warn the costume to. Also, you can keep track of professional photoshoots, and achievements or awards you won for it, and a collection of your favourite photos in the costume.
And that's about it. I foresee this app helping me immensely, even just in the fact that my shopping list and reference photos are in the same place…What a caution! I encourage anyone who makes costumes to get this app, it's seriously cool! It's totally free and you can get it on both your Apple and Android devices.
It'll be at least a few more weeks before I can post anything Hiccup related, but hopefully I'll have something different up before then!
Happy costuming!

Non-bank lenders looking to ICOs as a source of funds for trade finance lending.
An increasing number of non-bank lenders are looking to initial coin offerings (ICOs) as a source of funds for trade finance lending.
ICOs – also referred to as token sales – are unregulated means of crowdfunding, using cryptocurrency. In theory, through an ICO, you can raise money from anybody, anywhere in the world.
This is done by issuing digital tokens, which in turn gives investors a stake of the company. Early backers are usually motivated by a prospective return on their investment, as a startup's success would often translate into a higher token value.
For trade finance lenders, it offers access to an unorthodox – and, theoretically, unlimited – pool of investors in a market that is booming. In July, a report by research firm Autonomous found that startups had raised in total a record US$1.27bn in the first half of 2017 through ICOs, while the top four ICOs of the year, according to research firm Smith and Crown, have to date raised US$660mn between them.
However, the market has come under intense scrutiny in recent weeks. Unlike mainstream fundraising activity, ICOs are unregulated. The anonymity of the market and the connections with the dark web have led to fears over money laundering and links to other sinister activity. In September, China banned ICOs outright, saying they left investors unprotected and dismissing the entire practice as "illegal fundraising".
But while companies in the space say they have heeded the warnings of regulators, it seems not to have dampened enthusiasm for a fundraising model which, if used and managed correctly, can be much quicker and more efficient than traditional channels.
Trade finance ICOs
The trend of trade finance ICOs is already underway, with invoice financing company Populous raising US$10mn in this manner in July. In fact, the startup sold out of its customised tokens in just five days.
GTR has spoken to a number of other companies in the process of arranging ICOs as a means of kickstarting their own lending operations, with the eventual aim of attracting institutional investment further down the line.
Harveen Narulla is the CEO of Kommerce, a Singapore-based startup that will launch an ICO in October, with a view to raising US$30mn to US$50mn by the end of November. The proceeds will help fund a three-year programme of financing highly-liquid, fast-moving commodities such as cooking oil, coffee, sugar and rice into Africa.
Narulla is also the founder of Pan-African Logistics, a company that brings the same sorts of goods into Africa. He has seen the pain point, and thinks an ICO will provide Kommerce with the start-up capital to support small trading companies on a continent starved of bank debt.
In Moscow, meanwhile, ModulTrade CEO Evgeny Kaplin is gearing up for another token sale in October – which is set to be a busy month for the nascent market. He hopes to raise US$15mn to support the creation of a blockchain-based smart contract platform and to launch an SME lending solution in three EU countries.
"We will use MTRc – the ModulTrade token distributed during the token sale – to provide financing to SMEs to facilitate trade. Thus we will help solve the main problem for SMEs in trade – lack of financing."
A former trade finance banker with Sberbank, Kaplin says the demand for SME financing is not being met by mainstream channels. This is a common theme among those interviewed for this report. Each has identified a gap in the SME lending market. And each has landed on an ICO as a way of solving this problem.
A minefield of risk
Each of the companies is also aware of the risks involved. They say that regulation of the nascent market is important and welcome the increased scrutiny from regulators. It will, they say, separate the "Mickey Mouse projects" from those that are worthwhile, and if regulation is enforced, give them clear parameters and boundaries to work within.
Understandably, legal experts are looking at the market keenly. Jolyon Ellwood Russell, a trade finance partner at Simmons & Simmons in Hong Kong, tells GTR that he is getting calls about ICOs and alternative fundraising, but has yet to see real movement in the market.
"We are seeing more and more platforms using bitcoin and other cryptocurrency as either a conversion platform in order for the ability to send money or even as a medium to settle payments for goods and services. Therefore, the extent to which such a platform provider can ICO against their particular technology then this might do very well. What might be more exciting is in the world of invoice exchanges. What we might see are players issuing their own coins or cryptocurrency linked to the purchase of invoices sitting on an exchange thereby creating a larger liquidity pool," he says.
Regarding the risks involved, he is unequivocal: "There are inherent risks on the general unregulated nature of ICO. There is of course the sources of funds and financial crime issues. Bitcoin has not had the cleanest of reputations and given the mammoth appreciation recently, some regulators are monitoring whether ICOs might be an easy means to profit from illegal bitcoin accumulation and diversify into legitimate businesses."
The other risk is regulatory, Ellwood Russell says. The law looks at substance over form. If the substance falls within an offering to the public and in return shares or an interest in the company is issued, then this is regulated as any stocks and shares market. "Whatever it might be called in techno-speak, if it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck, it usually is."
There are, of course, ways in which one can mitigate this risk. ICOs are conducted on exchanges, which have varying degrees of scruples. In Hong Kong, Gatecoin has emerged as one of the more reputable, recovering strongly from a hack last year in which it lost US$2mn in cryptocurrency.
Will this come from ICOs? The volumes discussed thus far are miniscule when stood next to the market gap. However, any legitimate source of funding should be encouraged (with "legitimate" being the operative word). The market is developing extremely quickly, with problems and opportunities revealing themselves daily. What's clear is that this trend will not abate any time soon. Regulators should act quickly to ensure the potential is not lost, while those interested should tread carefully and choose their investors with extreme care.

Great Falls National Park Engagement - Angela & Ben - Virginia Wedding Photography
I absolutely love doing photo sessions at National Parks. They really are some of the most beautiful places on earth. Just around the riverbend (inside joke) from Ben & Angela's house is Great Falls National Park. One of my favorite places to shoot in the area. The falls themselves are just so dramatic and beautiful.
You may remember Angela and Ben as the couple from the front on my website. We had originally planned a day full of hot air balloons and a park shoot. Since the weather was going to be bad we only ended up doing the balloons that day and saved the park for later.
I have so much fun hanging out with Angela and Ben they are like my peeps. From singing Disney songs to climbing over a fence cautiously climbing over spike rocks for the most epic view of the falls.
I love that they are absolutely up for anything and everything whether it's splashing through the water or laughing at me as my feet slip out from under me and I slide through mud into a tree. And of course the ever famous pointing shots are here!
Side note... There is one photo with plastic bottles and a basketball this has nothing to do with their engagement shoot I just wanted to show them the basketball I saw.

Wonderfruit, Thailand's pioneering, carbon-neutral four-day celebration of the arts and sustainable living has announced its momentous phase 2 lineup, which includes diverse music acts, arts, sumptuous food offerings, transformational wellness, and family-friendly activities - all backed up by a whole new set of thought-provoking sustainable architectural experiences.
Following the announcement of a new permanent location, Wonderfruit elaborates on its ground-breaking plans for the festival to become completely sustainable. Wonderfruit's fifth instalment will synergize its numerous immersive experiences spanning six unique pillars with architectural experiences that encourage creativity and showcase how the sustainable and the spectacular can go hand-in-hand.
For its second phase, Wonderfruit adds more names to its carefully crafted collection of genre-bending and eclectic music acts that span the spectrum of musical moods and tones from all over the world with previously announced acts like Goldie And The Ensemble, Nightmares on Wax, Horse Meat Disco, Fleetmac Wood, Huun Huur Tu and more.
The legendary dance destination The Quarry gets a complete revamp by all(zone) who applied the concept of the modular geometric network of flexible foldable panels, designed to shapeshift any space. Made from woven recycled material, these panel structures fold and flow into this natural venue, creating monumental spaces perfect for experiencing the diverse music acts handpicked by none other than the father of British underground music Craig Richards. Prepare to dance to the deep and dub-influenced beats by Margaret Dygas, and the uncompromising sounds of underground dance scene pioneer Felix Dickinson, or lounge in tree-lined pockets of chillout zones swaying to the tunes of the likes ofBobby Pleasure, Saoirse, Midland, Radioactive Man (live), and Mathew Jonson (live).
The celebrations centre on another icon of the Fields – the Solar Stage. The permanent structure gets its third reconfiguration by Gregg Fleishman - the acclaimed champion of sustainable and innovative architecture. The modular geometric building system of interlocked wood panels is designed for exploring, climbing, dancing and gathering in and around, and will also host Wonderfruit's iconic sunset and sunrise music programs where Wonderers can expect to be taken on a journey by Nicolas Lutz, Louis Cole, Stars and Rabbit, and NJWA.
As the Fields are bigger now, revellers can experience new immersive structures that celebrate the harmony of nature and interact with numerous mind-blowing installations created by local and international artists who worked with the elements of the new land to encourage and inspire.
Embracing the concept of bamboo architecture, Theatre Stage by Mpdstudio, a new addition to the Fields, fits right into its surrounding landscape, sitting ashore the site's scenic waterway. As evening falls, Wonderers can get carried away by the mesmerising tunes of Icelandic multi-instrumentalist and singer Sóley, travel across time and space with Bangkok-based Costlywood, and enjoy the performances of Peter Broderick and Knower.
London-based designer Ab Rogers is the mastermind behind the new look of several iconic structures in the Fields. One of them is the Eco-Pavilion, which is home to Scratch Talks and a place to inspire conversation and change. The iconic space is transformed into a self-contained landscape, where Wonderers are welcome to find shelter under a kaleidoscopic canopy of 100 handmade cotton umbrellas, share experiences and listen to speakers.
Theatre of Feasts also gets a new look from Ab Rogers. Following the concept of circling flows, Theatre of Feasts will definitely inspire Wonderers to look beyond the status quo and dine a little differently. Expect to be part of culinary performances as award-winning chefs take the stage behind a bright kitchen island in the centre crafting feasts 'in the round' for their audience.
In the Eyes of the Animal by Marshmallow Laser Feast is a VR experience where Wonderers can put on a wooden headset and traverse familiar forest landscape through the perspective of woodland creatures.
For those who want to unwind, there will be plenty of options too. Bath House, another addition to the Fields, will be home for those who want to relax and discover bath rituals. Silent Room will offer complete peace and quiet for Wonderers to reach a meditative-like state, while Wonder Garden will host an array of transformational wellness experiences.
Wonderers can expect more activities to be announced in the coming months.

Ron Weasley nearly dies after he drinks Professor Slughorn's poisoned mead, a gift the professor was meant to pass on to Dumbledore, in an assasination attempt gone horribly wrong. Ron had already been poisoned in one sense — "He gets poisoned quite a bit in this film," Grint laughed — because he ate Romilda Vane's chocolate cauldrons (also meant for someone else, this time Harry) which were spiked with love potion. Harry rushes his friend off to the potions professor for a quick fix, only Ron goes from a bad predicament to a lethal one in mere moments. "That was a really fun scene," Grint said.
READ Leaky Cauldron's Set Report
I visited the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince set in Leavesden in late January of this year; filming had been under way for weeks but the future was unclear: it was the midst of the writer's strike, and while the studio hadn't cut off communication with scriptwriter Steven Kloves, they weren't allowed to talk with him about the Harry Potter films, according to producer David Barron.
Yet the first rumors about splitting Deathly Hallows into two films were around and alive, and while the studio remained mum, the prospect of the division leaked into every conversation. It seemed clear, at the time, that everyone favored the split.
"It's being discussed almost as much by everyone who's working here as it is by you guys," Dan Radcliffe said. "There's no obvious subplots you can take out. … if anyone's going to be able to do it, it's [Steve Kloves]. After the writer's strike is over."
Director David Yates said he was too focused on HBP to think much about it, but said that splitting into two films would be, "finally giving the fans a bigger, more enriched experience that covers all the lovely corners that Jo turns."
There's a sense of impending end creeping in at the edges, too: almost everyone we interviewed for our upcoming full set report – which includes Dan Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Tom Felton, Bonnie Wright, Matthew Lewis, Evanna Lynch, Jessie Cave, David Barron and David Yates – commented on how soon the Potter filmmaking saga will be complete.
"It's going to be quite sad," Rupert Grint said. "It's been nine years, and I've really enjoyed it… I will miss it."
I've been visiting the sets since late 2003, and each year they build on the years past: The Gryffindor Common Room now sports more books and magical-themed games in tiny corners that will never been seen on film; the Burrow (which was new to me this time, but is nonetheless slightly different than it was in Chamber of Secrets) seems to be showing its stuffing like an old armchair, with tiny explosions of Weasleyphernalia everywhere (Bonnie Wright calls it "higgledy-piggledy"). The vast expanse of green screen sits in the area that used to house some of the largest sets, and then had an outgrowth of crystalline rock that we learned was the floor of the cave.
Before that, though, we have Half-Blood Prince coming, and just judging what we were able to see on set means that we're in for, again, the best of the previously produced Potter films. A display case showed colorful boxes of Weasley prodcucts; a heavy, stone ring with a lightning strike-shaped crack down the middle; the tattered and stained potions book; small, crystalline vials of clear liquid marked as memories…
David Yates once characterized this film as being the most "sex, drugs and rock-and-roll"esque of the previous Potters; he amended this during our visit to "sex, potions and rock and roll."
Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) agreed with one reporter's characterization of the movie as the "romantic comedy Harry Potter," citing specifically some physical humor played by Cormac McLaggen during Slughorn's party. "They're both in denial about they're feelings," she says of the often-jealous dynamic between her character and Ron.
The romance bug is making its rounds in this film, with Dan speaking of a script direction indicating an "oddly charged" moment between Harry and Ginny when they first see each other in the burrow. Jessie Cave, who plays Lavender Brown, meanwhile, threw herself, literally, into kissing Rupert as Ron. Grint said he was eating a lot of mints in preparation, while –
"I was more concerned about chipping a tooth," Cave said said.
"She''s absolutely throwing herself at these lines," Radcliffe said of the newcomer. "Those lines that she has said as Lavender Brown could, if you did anything less than absolutely commit yourself to them 100 percent, they would be awful."
Over the course of the day, we the scene of the cave, Dumbledore's office, the "higgledy-piggledy" (says Bonnie Wright) burrow, and a lot more. We watched Ron as he tremulously walked down the Great Hall right before his first game of Quidditch. We saw Luna's Christmas tree dress; the tender moments between Harry and Ginny and the actors' thoughts on them; Draco spending time in the Room of Requirement, sending birds through the Vanishing Cabinet as practice; Lavender nearly chipping a tooth as she kissed Ron; the huge, hairy Fenrir and the dried-out, twisted mutation on zombies that will end up as the Inferi.
If the first trailer is any indication, this is the Harry Potter film that will start to drive the series to its natural, and huge end. By going back, by visiting with the shadow-eyed young Tom Riddle and growing the story down to its roots, we're heading toward a fuller realization of the scope of the stories. And it's going to be remarkable.
Stay tuned, because this is just the beginning: As we get closer to the films we'll have more about our time on sets, and the details of them, to share!

IT may be 48 years since her death but Marilyn Monroe is on the verge of stepping back into the fashion limelight via House of Monroe, an about-to-launch US-based fashion line based on the actress' style.
The collection is the brainchild of designer Victor Carranza, who created many custom designs for Monroe during her lifetime. The brand licencees have obtained the master license from the Marilyn Monroe estate - meaning that they are the only companies with the actual rights to reproduce Monroe's image.
There has been a flurry of interest in the label, with various high-end stockists - including Bergdorf Goodman - already confirmed. In addition to the luxury-centric House of Monroe, a contemporary line of jeans and T-shirts called Norma Jeane is also in the pipeline, reports The Daily.

For a long time as a child I used to think that the only person subject to hand-me-downs was my younger brother. Then I learned where a good chunk of my clothing was coming from, an older cousin and older kids of my mom's friends. I soon learned, that when it came to hand-me-downs, there were no socioeconomic barriers and a lot of times there were trades involved. We'd get a bag of clothes, they'd get a bag of toys we no longer used. This is the basic concept behind StokeBox, a new venture out of San Diego looking to connect thrifty parents who either need or need to get rid of lightly used kids clothing and other items.
Getting over the stigma of wearing hand-me-down clothes (even though only you really knew the truth) was difficult as a kid, due to that peer pressure thing. These days though, everyone is in a constant crunch to save money, at every economic level. Save for the occasional Hot Topic Pop Culture shirt, my kids wear hand-me-downs, and they don't seem to care. I notice that trend among many families, as trading with friends and neighbors for child-related items has become normal practice.
Part of the reason for this increased trading is because of the economy. When times are tough, we in the (lower) middle class and below find that it is much more cost effective to either re-use items or trade. The other reason is that kids grow so damn fast. By the time I've bought them shoes, they have grown another inch and I need to buy them a new wardrobe. At full cost, this adds up.
One of the reasons kids don't seem to care about wearing hand-me-downs (at least, caring to the point of flat out refusal) is because of cell phones and other devices. When I was young I wasn't given the option of new clothes or a cell phone, or a comped cell phone bill. Kids today would much rather have that phone than anything else. They'd rather text than eat. If you've got a teen, you know what I'm talking about.
So enter StokeBox and trading boxes of lightly used items online, instead of just within the confines of your neighborhood or other local social group. For a flat fee (to basically cover shipping) you trade your box of stuff to the community and you pick the box of stuff you need from the community. That's how it works. The concept is simple, based on a primary need no matter the economy. The nice thing is, as the site grows, it won't just be kids clothes and mom stuff, it'll be everything that you don't use that someone else needs.
Relying on tags and photos and a soon-to-come full search capability, the StokeBox community is built around description. The peer-to-peer marketplace only works if you can find what you are looking for, and describe what you have to give away. Right now the site is a bit bare bones, but is growing very quickly, building a strong inventory of items ready for trade.
StokeBox is the brain child of Brina Bujkovsky, former CEO of Younique Boutique, an eCommerce shop specializing in customized gifts. The San Diego resident, along with Jennifer Wilbur running marketing and Sugar Jones handling the community, founded StokeBox as a homegrown business that sprouted from a need that we all face.
"My parent friends are always complaining that their closets and garages are stuffed with things their family will never use again," says Brina via email. "Everyone keeps meaning to hold a garage sale or send it to the Goodwill at some point. The toughest part is that in the case of their kid's stuff, it holds sentimental value but very little resell value so the benefit of getting rid of it hardly outweighs the benefit of keeping it - just in case someone they know gets pregnant and needs it some day."
We all have a garage full of stuff that is still in good shape, we just don't use it anymore. Clothes, toys and games, books, craft supplies, tools and so on. StokeBox isn't just about pregnancy pants and un-puked on baby clothes (two of the most transient and shortly used items). With three kids that go through clothes quicker than Bon Jovi goes through blue jeans, I'm ready to start packing stuff in boxes.
While StokeBox expects to grow in other markets, parents are clearly their target audience as Brina explains: "While we don't only serve parents, that is our focus right now because parents in large part are dealing with the clutter problem exponentially for every member of their families. We grow by providing a way for them to turn their unused and outgrown stuff into things they probably wouldn't buy for themselves."
You tend to get to a point in your life where you start to see the waste in throwing things out. Right now in my garage I have three carseats, a bike with training wheels, a toy train table and crates of dolls. These are things we no longer use, just waiting for someone we know to need them so we can give them what they need, save them some money. That kind of paying or trading it forward attitude works kind of like karma.
That's why I'm liking the idea of StokeBox. I am a strong believer in karma and this mystical force in the universe paying you back for good deeds. So why not apply it to commerce as well? The barter system is alive and well, and as the value of the dollar continues to fade we'd be smart to remember and practice this ageless form of commerce. Plus, I'm super cheap and I'd rather pay ten bucks than a hundred for a box of good condition used kids clothes if given the option. Check out StokeBox and start cleaning out your garage.

Flirty in Floral
This weekend was jam packed full of great food, amazing weather, even better people, and a random trip to Target just to roam the aisles I've walked a hundred times over. We met up with a big group of friends down at Thunder Over Louisville Saturday morning, and treated ourselves to fresh sugar covered doughnuts afterwards ... I mean, what more could I really ask for out of the kick off weekend to Derby season?
I didn't intentionally buy this dress to wear to Derby, but after pulling it out of the box over the weekend, I really think it's perfect! Of course I'll be styling it much differently, so keep a look out for that post next week! I think what I love the most about this dress is that it's so simple to dress up or dress down ... I can easily pull it off for a big event, or I can style it like I did in these photos and bring back down to something I'd easily throw on everyday.
While we're talking about things that can easily be worn everyday, let's talk about this cardigan for a second. I'm totally obsessed! I feel like it instantly adds that extra something to any sundress that I have, and coming from someone who is always freezing in restaurants, I'm all about a super simple cardigan that goes with everything. It instantly transforms anything I wear it with into the perfect boho outfit of my dreams.
So, how did you spend your weekend? Do you have any pieces that you can wear with pretty much everything? Drop a comment below + let's get the conversation started!

Hey, Folks!
I hope this post finds you well. 2016 was a year filled with illness for me, so I focused on my health. This post is the beginning of a new phase in which I can enjoy life outside my room again. Enough about me, though. Let's talk about what we came here for, which are new releases in the world of literature.
I am voluntarily reviewing a copy of "Death by Chocolate Lab" by Bethany Blake through a partnership with Netgalley and Kensington Books. My followers know I don't pull any punches when sharing mqy opinions.
This book is the first title in the "Lucky Paws Petsitting Mysteries," mainstream cozies centered around animal loving philosopher Daphne Templeton. This feisty heroine loves all living creatures, but she is not fond of Blue Ribbon K9 Academy owner Steve Beamus, who broke her sister Piper's heart. The problem? Beamus is found murdered and newcomer police detective Jonathan Black zeros in on Piper as the most likely suspect from a long list of people. What's a girl to do? Daphne and her canine companions Socrates and Artie set out not only to find the real killer, but to locate Axis, Steve's award-winning Labrador Retriever who vanished the same night of the incident. Can she do so before anyone else gets hurt, or are she and the rest of her pals in the small town in danger?
The target audience for this novel is readers age 12 and above, but aside from a few references to Karma, there is no objectionable content. This debut is perfect for fans of Charlaine Harris' Aurora Teagarden. These characters, both human and animal, are a delight, and the puzzle is not easily solved. Those captivated by light crime fiction can count on Bethany Blake for an intriguing adventure. I would be glad to critique any upcoming manuscripts. My one criticism? The sleuthing came to a bit of an abrupt halt for my taste, but otherwise I consider it a solid debut. I would give it four and a half out of five stars. It is available now wherever books are sold, so pick it up when you get a chance. Until we meet again…
Happy Reading,

What do you notice spontaneously when you think about modern doors? We like fashionable design and better safety. And you? Doubtlessly, the appealing design of a front door is the first impression of the house. For every modern home entrance is an optical highlight, which attracts all looks even before you enter the house. The design of the entire entrance to the house clearly expresses your style and taste. Apart from this design aspect, the modern man must also think of a better security in his four walls. The front door has to meet all the requirements of the modern way of life and be designed and secured according to the taste of the time. Its most important characteristics include intrusion resistance, energy efficiency, thermal insulation and sound insulation. It should be in the house facade and be inviting and tempting.
So, but an all-rounder, which corresponds to our preferences, wishes and ideas and expresses these great.
The first impression counts!
Modern doors have an attractive design
It is no secret, the doors can be executed in various styles, from the classic to the most modern. They are perfect for new buildings, but they also fit into old buildings and renovated houses. But when it comes to modern doors, the appeal of the door-to-door design is essential here.
The modern design is characterized by clear lines, a reserved form language and sophisticated look. This makes the modern front door a real eye-catcher, which fits well into the entire house facade and the building style of the house. Depending on your preferences, you can decide for yourself whether you want a glazing or individual glass elements. Perhaps, however, do you want a wing at the front door, or a round arch at the top? This will give your home entrance a refined touch and express your individuality best.
Glazed side panels make the modern front door a real eye-catcher
Also consider the lighting of your entrance area in advance. Built-in LED lamps, skylight or modern wall lanterns set the front door into the scene and make them even more appealing in the evening. We can only recommend you to inform yourself about the various design options before selecting your doorstep and to make the best decision in the long run.
Of course there is the right front door for every taste, which meets the demands of our time
Preferred materials and colors for modern doors
Innovative production technology is used in the contemporary production of modern doors. In addition, modern working methods are used
Profit from the latest insights in the construction industry. When modern doors are being finished, wood, plastic, aluminum, stainless steel, and glass are currently available. All these materials have their advantages as well as their minus points. In order to achieve an optimum result, various combinations of two or more materials have recently been preferred. A material mix is created with the aim of creating a new, attractive design. In most cases, such combinations also contribute to more safety and better weather resistance of the entrance doors.
This front door is the perfect transition from the inside to the outside
Wood was and remains the popular traditional option, given the material for its doorstep. It is classic, exudes a lot of warmth and naturalness. Wooden doors fit wonderfully to contemporary country style houses, especially if you have a canopy or other attractive design of the entrance area.
Exceptional front door with floral motifs
Under no circumstances should we underestimate the visual effect of the colors. Especially in the case of the wooden doors, the color design is particularly evident. If you are looking for a more masculine look, you can choose a front door in darker shades. But if you want something really attractive, you can paint it in harsh, brighter colors. From white to the soft pastel nuances, from pink, red, yellow, blue, green and gray to anthracite and black everything would be possible here.
Design in white is a classic!
Plastic is a modern synthetic material in the production of doors. It is easy to form and color and is extremely easy to care for. This makes him as a material for modern doors. If you like the metal luster, you can opt for aluminum or stainless steel. Modern doors made of these metals have an outstanding design, are wind and weather resistant and, of course, durable. Because a door must be chosen correctly and for long years. And when you install it, it is very difficult and elaborate, only then to establish, you have chosen badly.
The modern front door design offers you a lot of space for individual design and technical news
More safety and energy efficiency
Everyone wants to feel comfortable and safe in his own home, enjoy homely coziness and the best protection. In the security of your own home, modern doors have to ask for a bit. These door-to-door models are also offered in combination with glazed window sides and are just as energy-efficient. Modern safety technology is successfully used here. The better protection of your own house starts with the selection of the material for the entrance door. This must be stable and resistant, weather resistant and roughly robust. High-quality locks and safety catches increase the security of your home and keep unwelcome visitors away. Contemporary doors please, besides attractive designs, much more. Technical innovations are present in the modern doors. There are currently special energy-saving parts in the retail trade and online, which keep the heat inside the house. With such a door at home you can even reduce your electricity and heating costs in winter.
House security begins in the entrance area
The technical news is not yet exhausted. Modern models have such models that guarantee better noise protection. Noise insulation is high on these doors. They are equipped with special waterproofing so that they do not allow any noise from the street to enter the house. In order to complete the door-to-door safety aspect, we must also mention the models with concealed door-catching devices, which also contribute to fashionable door design. The special audio and video systems that protect you against burglary and increase the resistance class of your entrance area and the whole house are gaining in popularity in recent years. Not to mention fingerprint systems. These can recognize stored fingerprints and open the front door only in front of a few people. Burglars and unwanted visitors have no chance to enter the house.
Have you already thought about how to make your home energy-efficient, safe and heat- and noise-protected? Now you know the trick – just put on a modern front door with all the extras you want. The editorial team wishes you all the best in your home election!

The Canal Plus Group is best known for the titular Canal+ channel, which score a 3% audience share in September 2013. Canal+'s flagship series, such as Le Grand Journal, will highlight the Group's YouTube network. The primetime talk show recently aired its thousandth episode, so it must be very informative (so long as you understand French).
The new channels will debut in December, and Canal Plus–which has previously dabbled in the online video industry by investing in Maker Studios–will support them with a new platform titled Canalfactory and aimed at emerging creators. "YouTube is a unique space not only for today's talent to find expression and be creative, but also for tomorrow's talent, which we want to support and bring to a wider audience in a dedicated area, Canalfactory," said Fabienne Fourquet, Canal Plus group's director of new content.
Canal Plus' invigorated online video presence should open up new avenues of exposure for Francophone creators. Time to dust off your French-English dictionary, YouTube.

That happened to me recently with the story of Joseph.
The Lord's working of His purposes through Joseph has always encouraged me during difficult times in my life. I am sure many of you, as well, took comfort in how God used Joseph's trials to shape him into a mature godly leader who rescued his family from possible extinction.
Recently, however, I saw how Joseph's life illustrated another amazing truth.
Before I get to what I missed, let's refresh our memories with some highlights from Joseph's rise from a slave to ruling alongside Pharaoh.
He experienced rejection from his family. Can you picture Joseph pleading with his brothers as they sold him to the Midianites? Later, when standing before Joseph (but not yet recognizing him), his brothers remembered Joseph's "distress" amidst his agonizing appeals to them.[i]
He experienced slavery. The Midianites took Joseph, bound in chains, to Egypt where they sold him to Potiphar, a high ranking official to Pharaoh.[ii] What humiliation to be sold to the highest bidder!
He experienced false accusations. After being bought by Potiphar, Joseph quickly found favor with him and became the overseer of all that belonged to the Egyptian official. Potiphar's wife, however, did not handle rejection well and accused Joseph of making unwanted sexual advances. As a result, Joseph ended up in prison.[iii]
He experienced imprisonment. Can you imagine Joseph's frustration? He faithfully obeyed the Lord by rejecting the advances of another man's wife and found himself locked up in an underground dungeon. Despite this, Joseph remained faithful and the Lord remained close to him.
Here is what I had always missed (you knew I would get to it eventually, didn't you?). God has more in mind for the outcome of our trials than spiritual growth and preparing us to minister to others, although that is hugely important. The Lord also has plans for what we endure that extend well beyond this life, purposes we cannot yet grasp or fathom.
How could Joseph have known as he trudged toward Egypt shackled in chains that God was preparing the way for him to reign alongside Pharaoh? If someone had suggested this scenario to Joseph at the time, he likely would have felt mocked or insulted. "Are you ridiculing me because of my dreams?" he might have replied to such a suggestion. Yet Joseph's time managing the household of Potiphar and in prison became the training ground for his storybook rise to power.
Could not the same be said of our experiences in this life? Could they not be preparation for our roles in reigning with Christ during the millennium? I believe so.
If God can use Joseph's time as both a slave and prisoner to prepare him to later rule over Egypt, He can certainly do the same with our life experiences to prepare us for our future roles in eternity.
This is what I missed for so long. The Lord is preparing us now to reign with Christ in His kingdom, which He will establish after He returns to earth in great power. There is a glorious long-lasting purpose for all we faithfully endure in this life. This is clearly implied in the rewards for faithfulness given out in Jesus' parable of the talents in Matthew 25:14-30.
As author John Eldredge so often writes, our lives are a story. As the drama of our lives unfolds, however, we sense there is something more. The Bible says God "has put eternity into" our hearts.[iv] For those of us in Christ, our current life stories carry over into Jesus' future kingdom. We cannot fully understand all the twists to the plots of our stories until that time. But then, like Joseph, we will be able to look back and clearly see the Lord's purposes. In the light of Jesus' coming kingdom, the stories of our lives will make much more sense.
Is this not a huge motivation to remain faithful to the Lord during the dark and stormy times of our lives?
Perhaps this is why the idea of a literal kingdom or millennium has been so passionately opposed at times during the history of the church. Satan surely hates the idea of Christ reigning on earth. How much more must he detest the coming kingdom as a source of encouragement for us to walk faithfully with our Savior?

etsy favourites : a wee bit nippy
emma lamb
Yep, Edinburgh is feeling just a wee bit more nippy than usual this Thursday afternoon! So I have delved into the back of the wardrobe for a cosy cardi and am currently sporting a pair of equally cosy woolly socks to keep my wee toes warm and happy. Actually I always have chilly toes, so it's quite rare for me not to be wearing some level of sock cosiness! Also this afternoon, I have been pondering over a brand new treasury collection - falling for
Yes, I am falling for every single one of the delightful finds! Really, I so wish I could have all of these come to live with me, especially one of kjoo's gorgeous leather and crochet bracelets... *sigh*
Enjoy the rest of your Thursday!

text: Which whole-home central humidifier is best for my furnace? Published on September 29, 2017 It won't be long before we are flipping our thermostats to offer us warmer air and make our homes nice and cozy during the winter. And warmer air means drier air that can influence our overall health. You may have never contemplated monitoring humidity levels inside, or maybe you're trying to find just the right balance. We've talked about the benefits of a whole-home humidifier from reducing the chances of getting sick to helping with your skin. But how do you know which system is the best for your house? If you aren't familiar, a whole-home humidifier gets water directly from your water supply and the water panel only needs to be changed a couple times throughout the heating season. There are more up-front costs to get started, but there is less maintenance, lower energy costs and mold prevention down the road. There are a couple factors you'll need to consider when looking at a whole-home humidifier. Size—The size and capacity of a humidifier is based on gallons per day of operation. One way to decide what size you want is to take your total floor area and multiply it by the height of the ceiling. This will help determine how many gallons per hour is needed and be a guide as you consider your options. Budget—There are initial costs when purchasing the humidifier equipment, but it's important to also acknowledge how much money will go into operation and maintenance. There are a variety of models that can help meet the needs in your home while keeping to a budget you are comfortable with. Each house is different. Our experts at Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning can provide you with a home health report to help you determine which humidifier will work for your home. And our assessment will confirm you are getting the best solution to fit your present HVAC system. We want to make sure you rest easy during the winter and that you have the support you need to maintain proper indoor air quality.

The index page for the 1954 French flap section of this website is here.
Reference number for this case: 12-Oct-54-Les-Sables-d'Olonne. Thank you for including this reference number in any correspondence with me regarding this case.
[Ref. vl1:] NEWSPAPER "LA VENDEE LIBRE":
A gardener saw a flying saucer
Mr. Léopold Trichet, gardener in the City's Services [i.e.: Les Sables d'Olonne], is said to have seen, in the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, a flying saucer.
Here besides what he declared to one of our colleagues:
"I was going to the Chenou to see the fishing places. Towards the North-East, i.e. above the houses, in the direction of La Mothe-Achard, I saw a luminous [point?] which seemed to come towards me. It went and came in the air, then on the sides, then downwards, to such extent that on several occasions I believed that it was going to land. I sat on a stake and told myself: "Well, you're nor dreaming." It took pink and red colors, going even into the purple, then became orange again."
"Really, it was wandering and during half an hour I could follow all its evolutions. I even clearly believed that it stationed above Saint-Mathurin, to set out again then in the clouds while seeming to move back."
[Ref. mv1:] "LES MYSTERES DE VENDEE" WEBSITE:
In his case listing "UFOs in the Vendée", the author notes this case:
Les Sables d'Olonne, 12 October 1954
[Ref. jb1:] JEROME BEAU:
Tuesday October 12, 1954
In La Chenou (the Vendée), a gardener employed by the city goes to see the fishing places. Towards the North-East, above the houses, in direction of La Mothe-Achard, he sees during 30 mn a luminous bath which seemed to come towards him, going to and fro in the air, then on the sides, then to the bottom, at such point that on several occasions he believes that it will land. The phenomenon takes pink and red colors, even going purple, then becoming again orange.

Following on from our previous blog about achieving a successful move abroad, we decided to compile a list of some of the most important government organisation to contact before making the move overseas.
Tax office
Whether you are a UK citizen leaving the country to live or work abroad, or are a foreign national returning to your home country after a period working in the UK, you must inform HMRC. This will allow them to work out any tax implications, which may include issuing you with a rebate if you have overpaid tax. Anyone who doesn't normally fill out a self-assessment tax return need to fill out a P85 form and send it to HMRC. For further advice check out the HMRC website.
If you are retiring abroad, or intend to still be living overseas when you reach pensionable age, you will need to contact the International Pension Centre. They will advise you on what you need to do to claim your pension overseas, plus any financial consequences for your pension of living abroad. It's important to note that, depending on where you move to, your pension payments may be frozen at the current rate which could significantly affect your finances in years to come. Read the government's advice about claiming your state pension if you live abroad here.
Electoral office
Even though you won't be living in the UK anymore, you are still entitled to vote in UK elections. To do this, you'll need to register as an overseas voter. Use the government's 'Electoral registration form for a British citizen living overseas' to claim your right to vote while living abroad.
Benefits office
If you are currently claiming any benefits, such as jobseekers, you will need to contact the relevant organisation. Take a look at the government's advice for claiming benefits if you live abroad to find out what benefits you might still be entitled to while living overseas.
You will need to contact your GP and dentist so you can be removed from the NHS register. If you are remaining within the European Economic Area (EEA) then you will usually still be entitled to some level of healthcare funded by the UK government. Take a look at the NHS's advice for moving abroad for more information.
Local council
It's a good idea to give your local council a forwarding address before you leave the country, so they can pass on any important information to you. Use the government's local council finder to get the contact details of your council.
Intransit have been helping people organise successful moves overseas for years, so if you have any worries or concerns we will be happy to advise you. Get in touch today by emailing us or calling us on 01225 759200.

Grains are the "missing link" in the sustainable food chain, according to Megan Browning, an intern with the Chefs Collaborative, a Boston-based organization that works with chefs and the greater food community to celebrate local foods and foster a more sustainable food supply. While a growing number of chefs and home cooks go out of their way to purchase local and sustainable produce, meat, fish, and dairy products, relatively few of us buy grains directly from farmers or know where or how they're produced.
The modern wheat and other grains that are commercially available are bred to produce a maximum yield, using fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides and intensive irrigation. Until recently, it's been difficult to find locally produced wheat and grains raised from indigenous varieties of seeds. Fortunately, a small number of Massachusetts farmers, brewers, distillers and chefs are growing, using, and teaching us how to appreciate heritage grains.
The Chefs Collaborative showcased some of the innovative chefs and food producers working with local and heritage grains at a recent workshop at the Boston Center for Adult Education. I was amazed to learn how much is going on with heritage grains right here in Massachusetts and delighted to taste how much flavor is in these grains.
Ancient forms of wheat are endangered, according to Eli Rogosa, founder of Heritage Grain Conservancy is an organic farmer, seed saver and artisan baker based in Western Mass. Rogosa worked with the Israeli Genebank to collect rare, ancient Israeli seeds, and now makes bread, matzoh and flatbreads from these ancient grains that she grows, such as einkorn and emmer.
"The ancient varieties are more resilient and resistant to changes in climate," Rogosa says. "And heritage grains have been proven to cause less celiac disease than modern wheat."
Four Star Farms in Northfield, Mass, started growing local grain for the food market a few years ago. The challenge to being a grain farmer in Massachusetts is not growing it, it's selling it. "The commodity price for grain is 16 cents a pound," farmer Jacob L'Etoile says, "but my land cost alone is 20 cents a pound."
Liz L'Etoile, Jacob's sister-in-law, is responsible for marketing and sales. The local grains are more expensive than the commodity products, but they are superior quality. Four Star uses a stone mill and hand packs fresh to order. L'Etoile delivers the products herself, which enables her to get feedback directly from chefs and build strong customer relationships.
Boston-based food writer, Maria Speck, is a Four Star customer. "Whole grains have superior flavor and texture," says Speck, author of the award-winning cookbook, Ancient Grains for Modern Meals. (See my review in The PescoVegetarian Times.) For example, "Kamut has a butteriness and whole oats are naturally sweet." She encourages chefs to build their meals around whole grains and just use meat and fish as an accent on the plate "for the sake of our health and our planet."
Heritage grains are not just showing up in the food we eat in Massachusetts, but in the alcoholic beverages we drink. Andrea Stanley, of Valley Malt, in Hadley, Mass, owns a small malt house (the only one in the region), and buys grain from Heritage Wheat and Four Star. "You can't make beer from hops," Stanley explains, "You have to malt it." Malt is grain that has been steeped, sprouted and then "killed." Stanley is able to customize the malt for the brewers' needs.
Stanley produces malt for Bryan Greenhagen, owner of the Mystic Brewery, in Chelsea, Mass. "We're lucky to have someone local to malt the grain," Greenhagen says. He likes to use grains that have "actual character." He is also cultivating his own yeast from local ingredients.
Dave Willis, of Bully Boy Distillers in Boston, Mass., produces organic vodka using winter red wheat from Aurora Mills and Farm in Maine. "When you distill wheat, it has a fruity, sweet quality," Willis explains. Bully Boy produces also produces whiskey and rum.
While we're on the subject of spirits, Ben Groppe, of the Hungry Mother, in Cambridge, Mass., who produced a Hominy Stew with co-owner/chef Rachel Miller Munzer mentioned that the heritage corn they buy from Anson Mills in South Carolina was grown from seed found [by owner Glenn Roberts] in a bootlegger's field! Apparently, the bootleggers were good at preserving more than just our nation's alcohol heritage.
I wasn't able to sample all of the heritage grain foods and beverages on offer at the workshop, but I particularly enjoyed the financiers (French Brown-Butter, Almond, & Einkorn Cakes in Rum Syrup) prepared by Chez Nous Bistro co-owner/pastry chef Rachel Portnoy, in Lee, Mass. Portnoy had never baked with whole grain products until she met Rogosa recently, but she's in the process of taking wheat out of her kitchen. "Einkorn is low gluten and delicious!" Portnoy says. "It's perfect for baking." Since the weight is different, Portnoy is recalculating her recipes to adjust, but she's pleased with the results. Judging by the taste of those rich, satisfying financiers, I'd say she's found the missing link.

The automotive industry has announced that vehicles powered by fuel cell technology will be on the market by 2015. Air Liquide is preparing for the emergence of hydrogen in transport by supporting the rollout of the necessary filling station infrastructure globally.
These developments have recently received strong government backing in Europe and Asia. Today, Air Liquide officially opened its first public hydrogen filling station for passenger cars in Germany, in the city of Düsseldorf. This state of the art station will be followed by 10 new hydrogen filling stations that will be designed, built and rolled out in the next three years under the auspices of the German government's major demonstration project.
By 2015 Germany will have a supply network of at least 50 public filling stations.
Those new steps are in line with the group's announcement in October 2011 that it would invest in 20 new stations in Europe. Driven by the same dynamic, two other stations have been installed recently by Air Liquide in Oslo, Norway, and in the Swiss city of Brugg.
In Japan, the government sees hydrogen as a promising major energy source for cars and expects to install about 100 hydrogen distribution stations for fuel cell vehicles by 2015. Air Liquide Japan intends to build a significant number of them and, in support of this goal, has recently set up a specialized team focused on the hydrogen business.
The group is already very active in Japan in this field, having so far installed three hydrogen energy stations (in Tokyo, Kawasaki, and Saga). One of these stations demonstrated the feasibility of a complete "Blue Hydrogen" chain, from wood chips to clean mobility.
Air Liquide is getting ready to play a supporting role in the switch to the new energy mix that includes hydrogen. Today, some 60 hydrogen filling stations have been designed and delivered by Air Liquide around the world, helping to spread the use of hydrogen for clean mobility.
François Darchis, Senior Vice-President and a member of Air Liquide's Executive Committee, commented: "Air Liquide is proud to support those government initiatives. Those new developments illustrate the commitment of the group to participate to the deployment of the hydrogen energy infrastructure worldwide. Hydrogen is one of the innovative solutions that offer a response in the short term to the challenges of sustainable mobility: reducing greenhouse gases, local pollution in our cities and dependency on oil-based fuels thus contributing to the preservation of the environment."
