2013 Human Development Report Skip to main content Home 2013 Human Development Report Human Development Report 2013 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) - Sustainable and responsible business - Enterprise and Industry Corporate social responsibility (CSR) refers to companies taking responsibility for their impact on society. As evidence suggests, CSR is increasingly important to the competitiveness of enterprises. It can bring benefits in terms of risk management, cost savings, access to capital, customer relationships, human resource management, and innovation capacity. European Commission Strategy CSR is defined by the European Commission as "the responsibility of enterprises for their impacts on society" (COM (2011) 681 ). ISO Social Responsibility MAY 2011: ECOLOGIA's Handbook for Implementers of ISO 26000 ECOLOGIA has prepared this 33-page Handbook to meet the needs of small and medium sized businesses, who want to improve their impacts on their communities through developing their corporate social responsibility activities. In Summer 2011, ECOLOGIA will be working with a limited number of businesses in Vermont and in China, using the Handbook. The Handbook includes: overview of the standard and its goals, and what it can offer users workbook, featuring questions, tables to fill out, graphics, charts, real-life examples, and sections such as "Engaging Your Stakeholders: How to Begin the Process" definitions,principles and action suggestions for each of the seven core subjects: Organizational governance Human rights Labor practices Environment Fair operating practices Consumer issues Community involvement and development
The Social License To Operate The Social License has been defined as existing when a project has the ongoing approval within the local community and other stakeholders, ongoing approval or broad social acceptance and, most frequently, as ongoing acceptance. At the level of an individual project the Social License is rooted in the beliefs, perceptions and opinions held by the local population and other stakeholders about the project. It is therefore granted by the community. Corporate social responsibility The term "corporate social responsibility" became popular in the 1960s and has remained a term used indiscriminately by many to cover legal and moral responsibility more narrowly construed. Proponents argue that corporations increase long term profits by operating with a CSR perspective, while critics argue that CSR distracts from business' economic role. A 2000 study compared existing econometric studies of the relationship between social and financial performance, concluding that the contradictory results of previous studies reporting positive, negative, and neutral financial impact, were due to flawed empirical analysis and claimed when the study is properly specified, CSR has a neutral impact on financial outcomes.[5] Critics[6][7] questioned the "lofty" and sometimes "unrealistic expectations" in CSR.[8] or that CSR is merely window-dressing, or an attempt to pre-empt the role of governments as a watchdog over powerful multinational corporations. Definition[edit] Approaches[edit]
rporate Social Responsibility does more harm than good The current period of financial turmoil has – as on previous occasions – led to considerable speculation and projection by nervous enterprise leaders, confused politicians and interested advocates as to the correct conduct and purpose of business. The last time this occurred was in response to the economic downturn of the early 1990s. This led, at the time, to the articulation of a presumed need for greater corporate social responsibility – or CSR – as articulated in the 1995 RSA Inquiry, 'Tomorrow's Company: the role of business in a changing world'. Notably though, many of the original sponsors and supporters of that endeavour – many of whom appeared to endorse what was to become the New Labour agenda of demanding more targets and procedural audits, as well as greater dialogue and inclusion – are no longer around. But maybe that is because being a good, responsible company that cares about people and the planet, as well a profits, was not what CSR was really about in the first place.
Mistra Urban Futures-Knowledge about and Approaches to Fair and Socially Sustainable Cities - KAIROS KAIROS is a transdisciplinary research project with focus on the social dimension of sustainability. The premise of the project is the way in which globalisation, migration and urbanisation characterise our time and place new demands on participation and co-creation. Cities' role in a changing world The complex societal problems that come with the on-going societal transformation is embodied and impacts on a local level. Cities, and their transnational networks, play an increasingly important role in facing the demands for sustainable development. At the same time, the rapid pace of urbanisation with growing income and health inequalities as a consequence, increases the risk for medium-sized cities of developing into arenas of social conflict.
Climate Change Adaptation and Corporate Strategy Corporate Strategy On the boardroom agenda, most organisations will now be discussing issues around environmental impact, climate change adaptation and sustainability. Your business may have strategies and policies in place. There might be posters on the walls charting performance or advertising the next initiative.

11/25/18 (8pm) Wendy's Coffeehouse Interview on KCMO Talk Radio 710 AM is a "Best of" and an evergreen in the podcast archives: Avrel Seale - Monster Hike
OddsnEnds - edited from previous post
- 1931 sighting from an Aviation Pioneer. Video YouTube, BEAMS story
2018 sighting and engagement in Stillwell, Oklahoma. Reported to MUFON.
- Spectral Invisibility Cloak is impressive - Futurism
- Invisibility cloak improvisation. Twitter
- Fact or fiction, the truth is out there. Forrest Fenn's $2M treasure still calls the hopeful. Unfortunately, that call isn't loud enough to disclose the location. According to Big Think, Fenn says at least one person has been within 100 feet of the treasure, out of the several thousands who have searched.
- The Guardian shadowed treasure hunter, Sacha Johnston. Esquire interviewed Forrest Fenn
What if some 'monsters' can choose to remain undiscovered? For instance, Sasquatch.
"Why, after thousands of encounters with humans, do they still go unacknowledged by science, government, and mainstream society? And what does all of this tell us about the dangers and the rewards of believing in something mysterious?" .… Monster Hike
My question: How can a non-existent fiction leave footprints?
|Monster Hike on Amazon
Avrel Seale takes us along on his quest to encounter Bigfoot.
I am curious and have seen signs of Sasquatch myself that shift the issue from myth to reality. Referring here to Board Camp Crystal Mine. Link is to a previous blog post and interview.
If you have any interest at all in Sasquatch/Bigfoot, Board Camp Crystal Mine in Mena, Arkansas is worth a visit.
The Mena Star
Arkansas Online Link
Arkansas Life - Robert Swain
After doing a thorough job of Sasquatch backstory research, meal prep and camp supply stashing, (Impressive!) Avrel hit the trail.
Two nights into the trip and I was settled in and comfy, reading his story from the safety of my laptop. Just that initial report made me more than happy that Avrel was doing the leg work on this journey and I could understand if he had seriously considered punting the whole thing at that point.
FYI if you do plan to stake out a remote locale. Peace of mind: Find me Spot
Check that front cover. He doesn't come up empty handed. 18 inch footprint beside a size 10 and a half shoe. Texas. Right.
Read the book? Here's a bonus from the blog. Avrel goes back out for another look. In that camp scene again, he notices a few more anomalies. What's with the abandoned tents? No mention of black panthers. Apparently, Texas has those too. Texas Cryptid Hunter
Consider some 'monsters' have no desire to be found and might even have the ability to erase or block knowledge of their presence and their source. Study their cameo appearances at places like
Skinwalker Ranch. I interviewed Jocelyn Buckner, a long time tour guide at the Bradford Ranch in Sedona, where their resident Bigfoot/Sasquatch is named Big Girl. Link. We love mysteries.
Thank you for listening!
Stay Curious.

Spotted! Sit Weng San
Sit Weng San is a visual artist from Singapore who is currently residing in New York. She is a graduate from the General Studies Program at the International Center of Photography, holds an Economics degree, and was previously employed by a Chemical Company.
Using photography as her medium, Weng San's work is prompted by questions, which do not necessarily bring about neat answers. "As I attempt to find answers through my work, I hope to bring about clarity of what I am probing to the audience. I am engaged with themes such as cultural identity and representation, and its politics."
An Ongoing Project started when a newspaper in New York published an article about the ethnic occupational niche in response to a bus crash in the Bronx, which killed 15 Chinese passengers on their way back from an upstate casino. "A sociologist interviewed in the article said, with regards to gambling, "It has to do with people who feel out of luck, poor people who want to become rich." He added, "When you work 11 hours a day as a waiter, the hardships are dry and depriving, and they need relief." Although this was only a small portion of the article, it led to the question, how is the community actually doing? I began by photographing in Chinatown in New York City. This has evolved into a collaborative project with seniors from the Cityhall Senior Cente."

Love Machine – "Blue Eyes" premiere
Love Machine preach Americana and Krautrock, look like they've been stolen from the Woodstock stage and are somehow from Düsseldorf. With Times To Come appears on Unique Records on March 2, 2018, the third album of the formation around frontman Marcel Rösche. Inspired by rock 'n'roll and folk rock influences, the album testifies to their unshakable belief in the power of eternal groove, combining contemporary psychedelia, harmony vocals and slide guitars with analog synthesizers and voodoo percussions. What comes out is a sweaty, mind-expanding cocktail that leads above all live to unawakened states beyond good and evil, prompting us to let go of all reality and reason.
In times of spreading cold and fear, Love Machine indulge in the joys of love on their new LP. On their numerous live shows, the Krautrockers do not limit themselves to Germany, but dust their seeds of love throughout Europe. Their goal is no less than to let each person on earth taste the nectar of love and peace.
When you take Woodstock and put it in the Düsseldorf, the birth place of Krautrock, you get Love Machine. Their third album Times To Come is released on Unique Records on 2nd March 2018. The album inspired by rock 'n'roll and folk influences testifies to their unshakeable belief in their power of eternal groove, combining psychedelia, harmonic vocals, analog synthesizers and voodoo percussion. What comes out is a sweaty, mind expanding cocktail that is Times To Come.

Just a sweet small oval watercolor on paper sketch of a dear bit of grand history in Vernon Rockville Connecticut the Grand Army of the Republic was a Civil War Memorial Group founded to archive data , and memorabilia and to honor all the actions and those who served and care for them as needed, as well. At one time every town had a GAR building, but as the veterans passed away the number of headquarters diminished to a few over the country of high honor. This is one of them! I have made formal and sketch and large paintings of the venerable place. This one is a dear.

My memories, especially my early years on the farm, allow me to return for a while, relive the sights and scents, and experience once again the warmth of special occasions that my family always enjoyed. To go there I relax while being supine, put my head on a soft pillow, close my eyes and suddenly Momma is in the kitchen baking, cooking, smiling or planning something new to surprise us.
My birthday was on the horizon and Momma always made plans early, but this year she had not shared them with me. I wondered if she wanted to surprise me with the celebration as she did when I was young.
My seventh birthday fell on Father's Day like the day I was born. My birthday continues to land on every other Leap Year. On that, first Leap Year Birthday Momma made a huge chocolate torte, wrapped it in white butter cream, and adorned the sides with blue swags. On top of the cake was a figurine of a man in a black tuxedo with a gold crown and specula and a deep rose, satin cape with a long train edged in white fur. The cake read "Two Kings for the Day"! I was giddy–I too would be a King for the day. Later that day Momma helped me wrap the cake top in tissue paper and placed it in my little trunk. I wanted to keep it to remind me of how special I felt that day. Many, many years later I looked through the keepsakes in the trunk and among them was the little figurine Since then I have used it as an ornament on my Christmas Tree and twice have used on a cake for my father and me.
As I sat at the kitchen table watching Momma work, I decided not to ask what she was planning for my birthday. I would find out soon enough. I assumed Momma would make the same cake as last year, because then I told her it was going to be my favorite birthday cake.
At my sixteenth birthday, Momma made an incredible Citrus Torte. Its three layers were split and filled with a rich pastry cream and fresh strawberry slices Then Momma covered the outside of the torte with a thick layer of the pastry cream, refrigerated the torte for awhile and then covered everything in swirls and clouds of freshly whipped and sweetened heavy cream. The sides of the torte was covered with fresh strawberry halves highlighted with tiny green leaves and the top held a ring of giant, fresh, lightly glazed, Jumbo Strawberries. I was sure it would be the torte for this year!
My day arrived, as always, in the middle of June when farmers are busy in the fields and wives must attend to the gardens and blooming flowers. Regardless of the added work, Momma always had a celebration for me. I hoped that she would ask for some help, yet every time she was busy in the kitchen she would give me other tasks than any work for my birthday. Fortunately, the day before my birthday Aunty Em called to say she was coming to the farm to help my mother the following day.
Aunty Em was not a real aunt, but was a dear friend of the family and a neighbor of my real Aunt's in town. She lived in a trailer behind the house she had lived in with her husband. Now that he had died, Aunty Em's family bought her a trailer, moved her in and had her grandson and wife live in the house. The transition was very difficult for Aunty Em. She missed her home and missed having her own yard to garden and plant flowers. My mother started having her come to the farm to work with her or when there was free time, we would go to Aunty Em for afternoon coffee. Coffee at Aunty Em's was great. She made a very simple, but extraordinary coffee cake. I tried not to eat so much of it, but Aunty Em knew how much I loved it and would send me home with the leftovers.
She gave my mother her recipe. Momma and I each made the little coffee cake. Where Aunty Em's coffee cake was an eight-inch, one and a half inch high, flat topped cake topped with a thick layer of sugar and cinnamon; ours always had a hump and the sugar/cinnamon mixture would crack. Ah, Aunty Em's was far better and when you had a slice and slathered it with soft butter, you knew you had the best!
When Aunty Em arrived, Momma was baking my cake. Momma had the baking time to sit with Aunty Em to divide the tasks that needed to be done. Aunty Em told Momma she would take care of all the dinner prep work, the dirty dishes and get all the dishes, flatware, napkins, glasses, etc. for Momma to set the table. When she finished her work, she could help Momma further.
I woke up late on my birthday and after I came down stairs Momma told me to go over to my Aunt's (my father's sister) because she had the day planned around my birthday. As I, left I looked around the kitchen. Momma's work counter was crowded with trimmed vegetables and Aunty Em was busy washing some pots and pans with a smile on her face and humming to herself. She had said many times how appreciative she was that my mother had her out so often to help. She always said she enjoyed the work and that anything was better than sitting in her trailer all alone. My immaturity was evident when I wondered why work would be better than being able to do nothing!!
My Aunt, Uncle and I arrived a little before the time Momma had set. Just as soon as I walked in the kitchen door Momma told me my clothes were on my bed and asked me to quickly change because everyone was here! Momma called everyone to the table when she saw me downstairs. I felt so uncomfortable being the center of attention; I preferred helping Momma serve dinner on nights like this one.
I knew the time had come; Momma and Aunty Em were clearing the last few dinner plates and resetting the table for dessert. Then she would return carrying a birthday cake while singing "Happy Birthday" to me. This year I saw Aunty Em motioning everyone to start singing. When Momma arrived in the middle of the double doors to our dining room suddenly everyone started laughing which included a couple of snickers!
On a large, round silver platter was a huge mound covered with swirls of whipped cream. The entire mound was then covered with fresh strawberry halves, tiny green leaves and small birthday candles. For some reason, the cake reminded me, because of its shape, of a big Baked Alaska that hadn't been browned.
Momma walked around the table to me. My mouth opened and as she neared, I looked up to see a tiny tear coming from her eye. She was not smiling at all. I asked timidly, "Momma what happened?" She suddenly started singing and motioned for everyone to join in.
After they finished singing, Momma gave me a kiss, told me to blow out my candles and then said to me: "Honey, your cake was so pretty when I finished it."
Momma made the Citrus Torte but it cracked down the middle in four or five places while it was being stored in the refrigerator. The cake was too large and fresh for assembly.
The question became which would win:
Momma wanted to throw the cake away. It was no longer perfect.
Aunty Em wanted to keep the cake and reassemble it.
Aunty Em won and devised the plan of reassembly. Everyone agreed the cake was unusually good. As I ate a huge piece, I thanked Aunty Em for saving the cake and my day. The result of her help was a cake that seems as though it had been turned inside out. The creamy filling now was mixed with the outside cream so that each nugget of cake had filling, frosting and fruit. I told Momma many years later that this particular birthday cake was the best because it had the greatest taste and texture and through the years it sealed a memory and placed it deep within my heart forever!!
My Mother continued to make the Citrus Tortes for as many of my birthday's as she could. The last Torte that she made for me was in 2002 in Arizona. It was as spectacular as the first one. In the years in between there never was another mishap and I never forgot my 17th birthday!
Momma wanted to start a tradition with the Citrus Torte because she felt it was the last birthday for me on the farm. She was right. During the next two summer's I worked in East Hampton following my graduation from the Culinary Institute of America. The following year two years I was either at an Army camp at home or in Vietnam. After that term of service my summer's continued to keep me from traveling home for Momma's special torte. For many of those working years Momma arrived at my door. My father had an ice cooler and inside were the makings for a torte. As soon as Momma rested after her arrival she would tell me it was time for me to take her to the store. She needed heavy cream and fresh strawberries.
This is the recipe for an incredible cake and filling.
It is best when you frost it with the whipped cream and accompany it with strawberries.
I hope you enjoy—-
Citrus Cake
2 ½ cups sifted cake flour
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1½ tsp grated lemon rind
1 tbsp grated orange rind
⅔ cup butter
1½ cups sugar
3 eggs, unbeaten
2 tbsp lemon juice
6 tbsp orange juice
¼ cup water
Sift flour once, measure, add baking powder and salt, and sift together three times.
Add lemon and orange rinds to butter, and cream well; add sugar gradually and cream together until light and fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each. Add flour, alternately with combined fruit juice and water, a small amount at a time, beating after each addition until smooth.
Bake in two greased 9-inch layer pans in moderate oven (375°F) 20 minutes, or until done.
This cake may be baked in two greased 8×8×2-inch pans in moderate oven (375°F) 20 minutes, or until done.
When the cake is done and you have removed it from the pan, carefully wrap in plastic wrap and freeze, or keep in the refrigerator for one day. The cake is a very tender cake and it must not be set together immediately or it could crack. WILL AUNTY EM BE THERE FOR YOU?
Pastry Cream
6 egg yolks.
Pinch salt.
¾ cup sugar
four tablespoon flour.
1½ cups half-and-half cream.
2 teaspoons vanilla
Add salt and sugar to the egg yolks and beat until thick and very light. Add the flour and beat until smooth.
Scalp for cream and pour into eggs slowly and stir briskly. Return to saucepan and place over low heat stirring till mixture is thickened. Keep stirring until mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and strain.
Add the vanilla. If you want a firmer cream to ensure it does not weep in any way soften 1/2 packet gelatin in 1/8 cup water. Heat gently until clear. Cool and whip into the prepared cream..

Lee's Summit outlasts Kearney in shootout
By Brian Spano PrepsKC Senior Writer
We've heard the cliche, "I went to a track meet, and a football game broke out." Well, judging by the score of Lee's Summit's 77-55 (yeah, you read that right) win over Kearney Thursday night, that might need to be changed to "...a basketball game broke out."
The Tigers (2-0) executed big play after big play throughout the first half to take full control of the game.
It all started with the opening kickoff when Tanner Allin sliced his way through the Kearney special teams for 80 yards and the score to put Lee's Summit up 7-0. Then the Tigers went on to score on all seven of their first half positions. It went like this:
"Our biggest thing is we went there last year and were up 17-0 and didn't finish the game," Tigers head coach Eric Thomas said. "We didn't score over 17. I wanted to make sure that we kept pushing, kept the foot on the gas at least through halftime. We started the third quarter at least thinking we were going to do that and got ourselves in some bad situations, but that was the plan."
The Bulldogs (1-1) began to find a little confidence in the second quarter with a couple of touchdowns and a field goal. First Austin Hinck hit Zack Davis for 49 yards, then Brock Broughton, who finished the game with 29 carries, 242 yards and four touchdowns on the ground, rumbled for 50 yards for a score. He even had five receptions for 114 yards and a score.
That modest second quarter run was enough momentum to fire Kearney up for a second-half charge.
The Bulldogs outscored Lee's Summit in the second half 38-21 and even got the score as close as 15 points, but the Tigers sealed it late on an 80-yard interception return by Delshon Spratt.
"I think things changed in the second half because we backed off a little bit," Thomas said. "We kind of had a plan at halftime of when to pull our guys and when to try to stay healthy and get guys off the field. We went ahead and did that, and it was what it was. The performance we had in the first half offensively, defensively and on special teams, I thought was really, really good."
Lock ended the night 14 of 21 passing for 302 yards and six touchdowns. Fountain had three catches for 122 yards and two touchdowns, and Metcalf had five catches for 82 yards and two touchdowns.
"We were hidden right there," Lock said about his receiving corps. "You saw what we can do. We came out and did what we know we can do. There aren't a lot of people that know we could do that, and you saw that guys we have on the field with the talent."

Learners will
- Evaluate differences in quality between similar items of different brands
- Calculate and compare unit price
- 14.3.3 Demonstrate ability to select, store, prepare, and serve nutritious, aesthetically pleasing food and food product (NASAFACS, 2018).
- Access to presentation and projection equipment
- Paper and pencil for each learner
- Handwashing facilities
- Gloves or serving utensils
- Paper towels or inexpensive paper plates for each learner
- A store brand and name brand of three different foods.
- Alternate containers for each of the foods
- Save the receipt from foods
- Move each of the foods to an alternate container. Save original containers. Assign each food either "A" or "B." Keep a record of which food is the name brand and which is the store brand.
- Ask students "What are some of your favorite snack foods?"
- Show Name Brands vs. Generics YouTube video (3:29)
- Discuss with students:
- What is the difference between a name brand and generic food?
- How much cheaper do generic foods tend to be? (30%)
- What product is regulated by the FDA? (Staple products like salt and sugar)
- Besides food, what are other items that offer similar quality for a smaller price? (Medications)
- Share with students that instead of watching a video of other people taste-testing food, students get to try it on their own.
- Direct students to prepare graphic organizer, as shown on presentation.
- Distribute paper towels and instruct students to draw and label a chart on their paper towels.
- Distribute each food, placing in correct space on paper towel. Encourage students to refrain from any verbal comment, keeping their comments in writing on their graphic organizer. Ask students to put a star next to their favorite of each food. Wait for each food to be tasted before moving on to the next one.
- After all food has been tasted, project "To Calculate Unit Price" slide. Use animation to show how to calculate unit price.
- Reveal which of each food was name brand and which was store brand. Ask for student input on the quality of each item. This could be taking a vote of student favorite or initiating discussion.
- Project the graphic organizer onto a whiteboard or smart board. Use the receipt to fill in the cost of each item and the unit on the container. Show students where net weight is listed on the container, and/or where servings per container is listed on the nutrition label.
- Guided practice: Allow students to calculate the unit price of each item, offering help as needed.
- Discuss:
- How noticeable was the change between store brands and name brands?
- If the name brand was better, was it enough better to justify the increased cost?
Collect graphic organizers as evidence of unit price calculation.

The wind whispered stories. The sky flared pink. I thought it might rain, but it didn't.
John Updike said that if he could be any animal, he'd be a turtle, because he liked the sound of rain on a roof. If I could be any animal, I'd be a crow. I've always wondered what skunk tastes like.
A song sparrow sang on my birthday. A kestrel did a fixed-wing dive at a perched crow. It did little more than irritate the crow. The crow was so much larger that the kestrel looked like an oversized mosquito, filled with ferocity. A red-tailed hawk made an attempt to capture a rock pigeon feeding on the ground. The raptor was unsuccessful.
Friends reported eagle nests along lakes not far from where I live. Bald eagles have been nesting in my home county for a good number of years, but it still seems to be a miracle whenever I see one.

I saw Solo yesterday afternoon and enjoyed it, but of course there are people on the Internet — that aching black hole of want — who find it disappointing because it didn't sufficiently change their lives like others in the series.
I'll never be one of those people who say, "It's only a movie" because I know that they can be life-changing experiences, but I'm 45 years old and I can count 18 movies that have altered the trajectory of my life in any meaningful way.
[I'm not saying they're good or important or my favorites; I'm saying that watching them changed my thinking in some notable way. I have many more movies that I simply love.]
- Star Wars (1977)
- Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)
- The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
- Wargames (1980)
- Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
- Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)
- A Christmas Story (1983)
- Return of the Jedi (1983)
- Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1983)
- Stand By Me (1986)
- Wall Street (1987)
- Heathers (1988)
- Dead Poets Society (1989)
- Edward Scissorhands (1990)
- The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
- Gattaca (1997)
- The Truman Show (1998)
That list ends in 1998. That's not the last time a good movie was made, nor was it the last time I let myself by changed by stories. I think that was just when the engine of that change switched almost completely over to books.
What's my point? I suspect that when someone tries to make a movie to change your life, it is almost certainly doomed to fail. The ones that succeed are surprising and idiosyncratic, and the less you expect your life to be changed, the more it likely will be.

Winding Down
Cooking is something I loved doing . My passion was cookbooks, which at one time I had over a thousand. There might be 12 left out of that collection. Giving them away was extremely hard but I was grateful Carol wanted a few boxes .
Many thanks to the special people who have been the wind beneath my wings. Myra- who almost never misses a day and has been with me since day one. Carol- who is a fabulous cook and baker who shared her fabulous recipes. Cyndy- whose recipes are enjoyed by many. Dottie- who I met many, many years ago and proud to call her my friend. Rita- whose BLOG is amazing. To the many others whom have left comments, became a follower - thank you.
I plan to post recipes from time to time. They will be added to pinterest and yummly boards. Type in und BestoflongIslandandcentralflorida on either board and it will direct you to any recipe, new or old . No more parties for me. If you want to see what I'm up to check out the two mentioned or follow me.
Max hasn't been feeling well and I do not want to add photos of him knowing he's having a difficulty time.
I hope you continue to visit from time to time. I might not be cooking as much but when I do it's always with love.

I am sorry to see that you are giving up this blog. I enjoyed coming here and seeing what new things or recipes I could learn about. I hope all goes well for Max. I understand how hard it is to see him not feeling well. I am always with you and will be there.ReplyDelete
Myra- I'll still post recipes from time to time but I'm not going to post them on "parties". They are other blogs that I share my link to a recipe I made.ReplyDelete
Max is hurting and I'm not going to add anything that might upset him.
I'm not giving up, just winding down. One day I'll completely stop, but not now
I am sorry I misread the post. I can see now you aren't giving up altogether. You know I will still check on here everyday to see what is new. I am so very sorry that Max is not feeling too well. I will always be here for you.ReplyDelete
Linda it has been my pleasure to know and Love you over the years. You and Myra have been very dear to my heart. I'm deeply sorry to hear Max has not been feeling well. Max is one Precious FURBABY. I will miss seeing his lovely photos. God be with you Linda and always know I love you and your family. You will always hold a special place in my heart..❤ReplyDelete
Linda, what a pleasure it's been to see your blog emails pop up in my inbox, whether it be a recipe, a quirky story (often underwater), or MM weekly. You will be missed, but I will follow your Pinterest board. I wish you, Gabe and Max all the best. I appreciate your mention of my blog (!), truly humbled, and will look forward to any and all posts you deliver in the future. Take care, my friend.ReplyDelete
Linda, I have been following your blog for several years. I've loved your pictures and recipes. I am so sorry to hear Max is not feeling well and hope he will be back to good health soon. I will continue to follow your Pinterest board. May God richly bless you, Gabe and Max.ReplyDelete
Linda- we met on taste of homes board many years ago and when you decided to leave I followed you here. I am sure going to miss you. I read this blog every week to play catch up..ReplyDelete
I used to have your email address but have misplaced it.
I remember when you lost Rip. I will pray for Max. Elaine in North Dakota/ weebill

Where did my post go?ReplyDelete
- Elaine MickelsonThursday, February 15, 2018
Linda- we started being friends on the taste of homes board many years ago. I remember you losing Rip. I followed you to here when you left the TOH board. I sure will miss you. I don't post. I try but that robot thing makes me lose my post. Do you still have my email. Weebill / Elaine from Both Dakota?ReplyDelete
I remember you telling me the background of why you started the blog-losing a precious member of the family is always hard. I'm sorry to hear that Max isn't feeling well....hoping he starts to feel better. Our four legged babies are so special.ReplyDelete
I want to thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to share some of my recipes here on your blog. It was a lot of fun. Bob and I used to love setting up the food photos and taking pictures of the finished dishes. We don't do it much any more....just don't have the desire.
I also want to thank you for sharing some of your beloved cookbooks with me. You and I both know how much fun it is to get a good cookbook in your hands and read it like a novel. So many inspiring recipes just waiting to be created. I cherish the books you sent and use them quite often.
Life has a way of handing us changes...whether we like them or not. One thing won't change-I don't think....our love of cooking, baking and recipes. I'll always be checking to see what you're up to in the kitchen-and now that you have an Instant Pot, I know we'll be passing recipes we try and fall in love with back and forth. I just wish the fence I passed them over from was closer than MA to FL! :)
I'm always an email away. Big hugs to you, Gabe and Max.
You are a amazing friend. Your recipes are delicious and the photos you and Bob took are the best. I love everything you posted and I know many, many others have enjoyed them also.Delete
Thank you so very much for all you help and your continued friendship.
Hugs to you and all your family

Dear TheTreasurette-Fans,
It has been a while that you heard from me, maybe you know those weeks before christmas, where you should actually relax and chill, drink tea and chat with family and friends. Well instead it has been quite a busy time for a mom that always wants to get the things done quickly and perfectly right. Designing and printing X-Mas cards, creating kids-kalenders for the Advent-time, shopping all the presents for family and friends, crafting presents with the little ones for grandparents and godparents, baking and singing, preparing and cooking, there is so much a mom can do for her lovely ones that you can easily spend an 18-hour day doing those things. Plus breastfeeding in between, haha! You see, there is plenty of stuff next to the every-day-household-stuff that you can spend your time and efforts with.
BUT we take our advent-time, the time we are waiting for Christmas quite seriously in terms of meeting family and friends. This weekend I spend 3 days with my lovely old friend from my high school year in the US – I feel so lucky that I could stay in contact with her for almost 19 years now! With Toby and her lovely son, we did a lot of fun stuff. But the best she chose herself: Isabelle, can we PLEASE go to the MINIATURE WONDERLAND in Hamburg? Of course we can! And funnily our family never went till this day! Although it is the world's largest model railway and Hamburg's most popular tourist attraction. Can you believe that already 13 million visitors have been soaked into this amazing miniature world? On more than 1.300 sqm the huge miniature world shows eight different worlds with more than 215.000 figures and thousands of moving trains, cars, ships and planes.
You really should go there when you are visiting Germany, when you stop by in Hamburg. It is truly amazing! Have a look at this fun photo-story of my kids in the Miniatur-Wunderland. They loved it – we were there for almost 3 hours…
HSV-Arena in Hamburg, the Dammtor-Station and Main-Station in Hamburg.
A Christmas-Market and some hooligans flipping out in front of armed policemen.
Switzerland and Colorado in the US…
Area 51 in some unknown location in Nevada and Las Vegas and Miami Beach…
The harbour-city in Hamburg with the Elbphilharmonie.
Hagenbecks Tierpark and the Lion-King-Musical Area in the Hamburg Harbour…

TheTreasurette-Fave: The airport is the greatest! Loved that area! You should try to plan more time for that – it is great for the kids! And they have a proper kiddie-toilet. Sooo cute. I think I was locked in that Bathroom for 15 minutes with the three kids, since all of them wanted to try out that cute bathroom-toilet!

What has changed about football in the last 20 years? only a passback rule and that has added to the speed of the game.
When you think about how things like technology and player development have changed the game the way that every action on the pitch can be reviewed and broken down frame by frame by the networks, or how todays players are bigger, stronger and faster than ever, then how the hell can 1 referee and 2 linesman be responsible for that much action and speed? Throw in the antics of the "Foolballers" and the game turns into speedy pantomime.
How about an "Eye in the sky" a group of officials to review the match live and be able to speak to the referee via some kind of headset, review infractions like penalties and handballs in 30 seconds or less and let the referee keep harmony on the pitch. If the foolballers knew that the EYE was on them then I bet the diving and cheating would diminish.
I have watched, lived and played this game a various levels and it is in my blood, I know I speak for the rest of the world's football fans who want better. We deserve 11 players versus 11 players, not 11 Italian divers versus 10 other hard working players.
If I want to see diving then I will watch the olympics, If I want to see cheating then I will work for a Corporation.

Last week President Obama reaffirmed NASA's commitment to send humans to Mars "by the 2030s and returning them safely to Earth." In an op-ed published on CNN.com, President Obama said that such an undertaking will "require continued cooperation between government and private innovators."
To understand the reaction to this news, we analyzed Twitter data from the days following the announcement. Unsurprisingly, the announcement generated a large amount of activity, peaking on October 12th with over 35,000 tweets that include the words "Mars." The activity dipped to 30,000 on October 13th before dramatically falling off in the remainder of the week.
Examination of the content reveals numerous ways in which organizations and individuals sought to get in on the action. For example both Boeing (@boeing) and SpaceX (@spacex), two private companies engaged in the space race, positioned themselves as being the company that would bring humans to Mars, sparking engagement and conversation.
SpaceX dominated the share of voice, with nearly 2250 mentions in the 3 days after the Obama op-ed. Prior to the Obama op-ed, SpaceX founder Elon Musk had made numerous high profile statements about Mars, which likely contributed to the larger volume. For example, the Bloomberg tweet below was retweeted 51 times in the days after the Obama op-ed, even though the original tweet was authored more than a week before the op-ed.

In contrast, Boeing was mentioned only about 350 times, about 250 of which mentioned both SpaceX and Boeing, highlighting the competition between them.

On a less serious note, a number of comedians got in on the action. Many of them drawing on the other big news of the day: Donald Trump's "locker room talk." Indeed, two of the most retweeted tweets in the time period were these from Chelsea Handler (@chelseahandler) and Seth MacFarlane (@sethmacfarlane). Some other lesser known comedians got in on the fun as well.

Missing nurse: Maderna's CBI custody extended
A court in Jodhpur on Friday extended for three days the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) custody of sacked Rajasthan minister Mahipal Maderna, an accused in the case of missing nurse Bhanwari Devi, officials said.india Updated: Dec 09, 2011 20:52 IST
A court in Jodhpur on Friday extended for three days the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) custody of sacked Rajasthan minister Mahipal Maderna, an accused in the case of missing nurse Bhanwari Devi, officials said.
Maderna was produced in the court after completion of his seven-day remand.
The other accused, a Congress legislator's brother Parasram Maderna and Bhawnari Devi's husband Amarchand, were also produced in the court. They were sent to three days and five days' CBI custody respectively.
The former Rajasthan minister had been taken to CBI headquarters in New Delhi for interrogation and was brought back last week. Parasram Bishnoi, brother of Congress legislator from Luni constituency, was interrogated in Jodhpur during the remand period.
The CBI spokesperson said that Bhanwari's husband Amarchand, who was arrested for "not cooperating in the investigation", will be quizzed in the remand period for more clues in the case.
"His role in his wife's disappearance is under the purview of investigation," a police officer said on condition of anonymity.
Bhanwari Devi, who allegedly features in a CD with Mahipal Maderna in a compromising position, went missing from Jodhpur Sep 1. On Oct 16, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot sacked the minister over allegations that he had a role in her disappearance as she was blackmailing him on the basis of the CD.
The CBI arrested Maderna Dec 3 on charges of getting Bhanwari Devi killed. It was alleged that he had hired one Sahi Ram Bishnoi, a small-time politician from Jodhpur. Sahi Ram then allegedly assigned the task to Shahabuddin, Sohan Lal Bishnoi and Baldev Jaat alias Balia to kidnap the nurse.
In the chargesheet filed before the court earlier, Shahabuddin, Baliya and Sohanlal have been charged with Section 364 (abduction with an intent to kill) and 120 B (criminal conspiracy) of Indian Penal Code and various sections of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act in the case.

Meet Isabelle Matthies
With the start of August comes a sharp increase in plaid skirts and khaki pants around the Harrison Center office spaces. School is back in session, and as happens every year, some students have migrated over to the Harrison Center for their internships. In the coming weeks, we'll be introducing you to these interns, and getting to know their story and specific roles in their internship.
This week we'll highlight Isabelle Matthies, a senior at Herron High School and the writer of this blog post.
Isabelle has attended Herron High School for all four years and is currently enrolled in AP Studio 2D Art. She has been passionate about creating art for as long as she can remember, and has attended First Friday since middle school. During her internship, Isabelle will regularly write for the Harrison Center's blog, as well as develop a First Friday event presenting stories based around HCA artworks. Isabelle believes in the power of art to transform consciousness and develop cultural awareness, and hopes that her internship will allow her to gain experience working in an arts organization and in using art to foster community engagement. Living in the Butler Tarkington neighborhood, situated near to Maple Crossing, she is excited to see firsthand how the Harrison Center is able to engage with this area.
Her interest in interning at the Harrison Center for the Arts is largely due to the organization's transparency and social conscious. In this way, it is pioneering the intersection between art and society, which is what Isabelle hopes to explore further by majoring in Art History and Political Science in college.
In her free time, Isabelle enjoys making art, describing the artistic process as, "being able to think of an idea in my head and then watch it brought into reality." Her mediums of choice are ink, charcoal, Copic markers, mixed media, acrylic paint—basically anything but pastels. Her favorite artists are Andy Warhol and Gerhard Richter, and some of her favorite musicians are twenty one pilots, Alt-j, and Sigur Ros.
Bonus Question: Which is the best TV show: The Office, Parks and Recreation, or 30 Rock?
"Parks and Rec, for sure. How can you not love a hilarious show about the gridlock of politics and the importance of breakfast food?"

Manipulating single atoms with an electron beam/
Our latest — and for me personally, thus far most important — work on single-atom manipulation, funded by the European Research Council (ERC) and the Austrian Science Fund (FWF), has now been published:
Electron-Beam Manipulation of Silicon Dopants in Graphene: Mukesh Tripathi, Andreas Mittelberger, Nicholas Pike, Clemens Mangler, Jannik C. Meyer, Matthieu Verstraete, Jani Kotakoski, and Toma Susi. Nano Letters Article ASAP, DOI: 10.1021/acs.nanolett.8b02406 (CC-BY).
You can read more about the work in our press release or the article itself, or watch a brief video that I made to highlight the results. The control we are able to achieve by essentially directing the electron beam by hand is already remarkable, and we have taken the first steps towards automation by detecting the jumps in real time. In total, we recorded nearly 300 controlled jumps, many times more and with better control than had been reported before.
Below the video I would like to discuss the journey of our manuscript into print, giving another glimpse behind the scientific curtain similar to my earlier posts (here and here).
Most of the data for the initial version of the manuscript was collected already in July, 2017, but sat for a while on my hard drive before writing them up. The first version of the results was posted on the physics preprint archive arXiv right before Christmas on December 23, 2017 (https://arxiv.org/abs/1712.08755v1). In that initial manuscript, most of the essential results were already reported, including the long manipulation path of 34 controlled jumps.
A little before that on October 25, 2017, our dear competitors at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory had posted a preprint showing how they had been able to move several nearby Si atoms by a few lattice sites (https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.09416v1). That was a nice small improvement over the first tentative steps we had published early that year, and they had subsequently replicated.
In the meanwhile, we submitted our new work for publication to Nature Nanotechnology. We managed to get past the editors, which is often the most difficult step in prestigious journals. When we finally received our reports on February 8, 2018, unfortunately only one of the three referees recommended publication due to concerns that it did not go sufficiently beyond what we had shown before (obviously, we disagree with that).
In the meanwhile, we had collected some additional data, and taking the feedback from our referees into account, revised our manuscript and uploaded an updated preprint to arXiv on February 26, 2018 (https://arxiv.org/abs/1712.08755v2). After pondering a bit where to resubmit, we settled on Nano Letters, a well-known and widely read journal in our field. Our revised article was submitted there on March 13, 2018.
On March 27, 2018, we received two referee reports. Both referees had significant criticisms, especially concerning the breadth and additional novelty of the work compared to our earlier studies, and the editor decided to decline publication. However, they had obviously read the manuscript, and encouraged us to resubmit a thoroughly revised and expanded version, which would be treated as a new submission.
It took us some time to collect the new data, including at another electron acceleration voltage, and to significantly revise our analyses to incorporate new simulations by collaborators in Belgium and Norway. After a couple of short extensions, we finally resubmitted on June 14, 2018. This time, our revised and expanded manuscript was deemed satisfactory, and after a small technical revision submitted on June 29, 2018, it was finally accepted.
This history and the decision of Nano Letters to treat our revision as a new submission are responsible for the very short turnaround time of our publication. In the meanwhile, the Oak Ridge group had submitted another version of their preprint to arXiv on May 22, 2018, where they had also added a longer manipulation path (https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.09416v2).
The race to extended multiatom structures is on!

"The Office" is about to get another taste of Tate.
BAFTA nominee Catherine Tate (star of BBC"s enigmatically titled "The Catherine Tate Show") is returning to the NBC comedy this season, reprising her role as Nellie Bertram.
Bertram is hired by Dundler-Mifflin Chairman of the Board Jo Bennett (Kathy Bates) as a favored special projects manager who works directly for the corporate office, enjoying special attention from Bennett.
Tate's character was introduced last season as one of the candidates interviewing for the vacant Regional Manager position, after Michael Scott (Steve Carell) left the company.
"Catherine is hysterical," said executive producer Paul Lieberstein in a release. "We introduced her briefly in last season's finale and knew she had to be a part of the show somehow. We'll meet her again as corporate's special projects manager, and her relationship with Robert California (James Spader) will be far from professional. We're thrilled that she's joining the cast."
Tate has also appeared on BBC"s "Doctor Who," and in the films "Gulliver"s Travels," "Monte Carlo," "Mrs. Ratcliffe"s Revolution," and "Starter for Ten."

A joint initiative between the American Immigration Council and AILA seeks to change the playing field for immigrants facing deportation.
Register for AILA's National Day of Action (NDA) on April 11, 2019, to meet with members of Congress and share how the administration's immigration policy changes are harming American families, businesses, and communities.Register Now
AILA Doc. No. 16092034 | Dated September 20, 2016
On April 23, 2010, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed into law SB 1070, also known as the Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act. The purpose of SB 1070 was to eliminate illegal immigration in the state through state and local law enforcement actions. AILA and other civic and community leaders nationwide immediately decried the law as a mean-spirited law that would foster discrimination against immigrants and racial profiling by local law enforcement agencies. In addition, AILA's national Board of Governors voted to suspend all conferences and association activities in the state of Arizona. The Board lifted the ban in 2016.
In 2010, lawsuits were brought against SB 1070 by the Department of Justice and by civil rights and immigrant rights organizations. AILA submitted amicus briefs with the Ninth Circuit and the Supreme Court in the U.S. v. Arizona case. In 2012, the Supreme Court issued its decision in that case striking down several parts of the law but leaving in place the "show me your papers" provision. In September 2016, the state of Arizona settled the lawsuit, Valle del Sol et al. v. Whiting et al., brought against SB 1070 by immigrant rights and civil rights organizations to challenge the two remaining provisions in the law. The state's Attorney General issued an opinion setting forth guidelines for how the law's two remaining provisions will be implemented.
