The Central Kalahari Game Reserve is the ultimate wilderness destination, situated in the centre of the Kalahari Desert. Dominated by an intricate network of open plains, shrub-covered fossil sand dunes and riverbeds, this vast 5 million hectare reserve is the largest in the world. In contrast to perceptions of the Kalahari 'Desert', most of the reserve is vegetated with trees scattered amongst the mixed bush, grasses and herbs. Those who venture to this secluded and unforgiving environment get one of the best chances to view magnificent skies and experience untamed Africa at its best.
Home to the San people, who have occupied these lands for 30,000 years, today they are first class safari guides who introduce visitors to their unique culture on ventures across the desert. Often dressed in traditional animal skins equipped with a bow and arrow, the Bushmen are excellent story tellers and bring the Central Kalahari to life. The pristine and untouched Tsodilo Hills were recently proclaimed a UNESCO World Heritage Site; a testament to the San villagers' history as it displays the only collection of their rock art in Southern Africa.
Low-densities of big game inhabit the Central Kalahari as only highly adapted species can withstand the harsh climate. During the dry season, lion and cheetah are the top predators, with oryx, kudu and springbuck as the main prey. Families of meerkats and yellow mongoose are amongst the most entertaining wildlife in the area. Occasionally nocturnal honey badgers and porcupines are seen around the lodges as game drives at night are prohibited. In contrast, just after the rains, the grass plains come alive with thousands of gemsbok, wildebeest and springbok, which in turn attract plentiful lion, jackal and cheetah. Spectacular predator-prey sightings are therefore frequent from February to April. Renowned for being one of the better locations in Botswana to view Cheetah, the Central Kalahari is also famous for sightings of black maned lion. A good variety of scavengers can be spotted, including the brown hyena, the third rarest carnivore in the world.
Bird biodiversity is varied, with over 220 species including threatened and endemic Crimson-breasted Shrike, Violet-eared Waxbill and Southern Pied Babblers. The world's heaviest flying bird, the kori bustard weighing 14-19kg, is easily spotted, along with free-roaming ostriches. Black-breasted and brown snake eagles, tawny eagles and lanner falcons are also found aside smaller birds including doves and queleas. Out in the bush, the Black Korhaan call is heard at day, but at night replaced by the loud cough of the male barking gecko.
The area has the lowest density of lodges in any game conservation area in Botswana and receives few tourists, thus enabling a truly remote, natural and ultimate wilderness experience. The Kalahari Plains Camp and Tau Pan Camp are considered the best lodges in the reserve.
Unlike the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa, game is at its peak during and shortly after the rains (Jan-April). Therefore, just after the rains in the months of March, April and May, are the best times to visit to get a well-rounded experience of good weather conditions and decent wildlife sightings. Small predators are best viewed from May to October. Migratory birds are best seen from November to February.
January to April: This summer period of the classic time to visit the area, despite the first 12 weeks experiencing the majority of rainfall. Temperatures remain in the low 30°C's during the day. The majority of migratory animals should have arrived in search of fresh grazing, and accumulate in great densities on the pans. Inevitably these attract increased numbers of predators. However, as a result of the rains, driving conditions are poor and the terrain is often impossible to venture across due to mud. The landscape is more vibrant at this time and the skies are full of magnificent cloud formations.
May and June: Temperatures begin to drop during this transition period from hot wet summer to cool dry winter. Ground frosts are not uncommon in June, with temperatures ranging from 25°C during the day and 6°C at night. In May the migratory game is relatively widespread across the Central Kalahari, but as the pans start to dry out, grazing deteriorates so animals head towards permanent water. This is the peak time to visit.
July to September: the dry winter months are an unseasonal time to visit. With low temperatures (25°C) and low humidity, skies are clear but nights often fall below zero, especially in July. Virtually all migratory species have left for the north, so gamevewing concentrates on sparse populations of game. This is in stark contrast to the Okavango Delta which is a waterworld at this time.
October to December: October temperatures are the hottest of the year (up to 40°C max) and greatest humidity. When the rains break in November in the form of passing showers, which fill seasonal waterholes, animals move back into the Kalahari in decent numbers. The landscape comes alive with grasses and flowers.

Delhi Police has arrested Indian Mujahideen co-founder Abdul Subhan Qureshi, one of the most wanted terrorists in the country for masterminding the 2008 Gujarat blasts. Qureshi, alias Tauqeer, is also wanted by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in connection to terror attacks in Delhi, Bengaluru and the 2006 Mumbai local train bombings.
Dubbed 'India's Bin Laden', Qureshi is an expert in the art of changing his appearance, which helped him give the slip to cops on a number of occasions, senior intelligence officers conjecture.
Qureshi is also referred to as a 'techie-bomber', as he is said to be a bomb expert and had worked at top Indian IT companies located in Bengaluru and Hyderabad. It is believed that he was recruited by SIMI in 1998, and then went on to establish the Indian Mujahideen.

needle valves
Needle valves can be used as a leakproof on-off valve or to accurately regulate the flow rate. They are manually operated and generally used for relatively low flow rates. These valves are only suitable for clean media and can be used in one flow direction. The pressure drop of is quite large compared to other valves such as ball valves. Because turning the control knob causes a relatively small change in the position of the needle, settings are smooth and gradual. This also reduces the chance of water hammer. Needle valves are available in a wide range of port sizes and materials such as brass or stainless steel. More information can be found in our Technical Information Center.

I had the best time creating this medicine doll for Tilda who is 11 and a budding young artist. She is the OrchidDreamer friendship doll and filled with orchids grown in Tony's mother's garden and lots of forest flowers that I picked close to our home. While I was making her one of favourite people came to visit and I'm sure all of that laughter and storytelling has been woven into her dress.
Tilda's request for a friendship doll came in the same week that I received 3 more invitations to create dolls for children. This is the CrystalReader doll for Emma who is 12 receiving a sun blessing on her crystal ball.
I have been inspired so much by the spirit of the child whilst making these dolls that I began to make some big changes in my life, creating space for my own cosmic child to play. I created a tarot spread to understand what the cosmic child needs and I will share this spread with our subscribers very soon on the 1st September - the first day of Spring here in Australia.
I believe that whenever we give we receive and this week I had a sudden compulsion to go to our local opshop. And look who I found - my own doll! Isn't she beautiful. I don't know anything about her except that she looks completely handmade right down to her woolly jumper. She reminds me of my ancestors from Scotland and Ireland. Perhaps she is Fox's grandmother and has travelled from the Shetland Islands to take care of us all. Thanks Tilda! I definitely believe you and the OrchidDreamer had a hand in this doll exchange x

The dangers of social media accounts falling into the wrong hands have been highlighted following an angry late night exchange on Twitter between chef-restaurateur Mitch Tonks (pictured) and Hotel du Vin Bristol.
A row erupted after Tonks voiced his disappointment that a barman at the 40-bedroom hotel refused to serve drinks to a number of his friends, including chefs Ken Hom, Angela Hartnett and Yotam Ottolenghi.
Tonks, who has been a regular guest at the hotel for more than 10 years, wrote: "@hotelduvinbristol so much for hospitality as a resident I couldn't bring a few friends for a drink .. I could have one but not them…"
In reply, Hotel du Vin Bristol wrote: "@MitchTonks unlucky, find a new hotel!"
After Tonks told the hotel that he was booked to stay for two nights, Hotel du Vin Bristol replied: "@MitchTonks sleep tight then we shall discuss tomorrow"
Despite it by now being the early hours of the morning, a number of Tonks' 15,700 Twitter followers jumped to his defence. Food writer Tom Parker Bowles wrote: @MitchTonks. Is this a joke? Bloody hell Mitch, get out of that hellhole sharpish."
Mark Taylor, food editor of the Bristol Post, said: "@tomparkerbowles @MitchTonks @hdv_bristol Unbelievable, who could turn away @AngelaHartnett Ken Hom and other great hospitality people?"
Angela Hartnett replied "@sophiemichell @MitchTonks @wallfishbristol @MarkTaylorFood @tomparkerbowles @hdv_bristol Terrible service and reply! Meanwhile, Megan Hession summed up the numerous exchanges: "@MitchTonks @wallfishbristol @MarkTaylorFood @tomparkerbowles @hdv_bristol @AngelaHartnett Absolute PR disaster currently happening".
Tonks, who runs six restaurants in Devon and is the author of seven cookery books, later told The Caterer that he had been staying in Bristol to attend the BBC Food and Farming Awards.
"After the event I suggested to some friends going back to the bar at Hotel du Vin Bristol, where I was staying, for a drink. We arrived at about 12.15am and the barman said he would serve me, but not my friends. The atmosphere was not at all welcoming and so we headed off to the Marriott hotel.
"We were good people to have in the bar, in fact, other guests there offered to buy drinks on behalf of my friends."
Tonks said that he was amazed the following morning to discover the support he had received on Twitter regarding the incident.
"What happened was disastrous for the Hotel du Vin brand," he explained. "Two lessons are highlighted here. Firstly, that people in the industry sometimes forget that we are working in hospitality and that a welcome is pivotal to the success of a business. Secondly, when the operation of a Twitter account gets into the wrong hands, it can go horribly wrong."
Tonks met with Hotel du Vin management this morning who he said were "very gracious" and apologised for the actions of the barman who had not followed the company's training procedures.
"I understand how these things happen, but unfortunately the hotel didn't jump on it fast enough."
A spokesperson for Hotel du Vin Bristol said: "The hotel is investigating a temporary breach of the Hotel du Vin Bristol Twitter account on Friday 29 April and sincerely apologises for any offence caused."
The offending tweets have since been deleted.
Tonks said he is a huge fan of Hotel du Vin and will continue to use its hotels in the future.

Welcome to the homepage of the band of two names, Jerusalem and Deckchair Poets. Their main difference being that Jerusalem lyrics tend to be fairly serious, whilst those of Deckchair Poets can be humorous. However these rules are not set in stone, and smiles can equally pop up in Jerusalem's work, just as the weight of the World can sometimes be found plonked in a deckchair. As the same select core of musicians play on both Jerusalem and 'Poets recordings there are obvious musical similarities.
The balmy bunch of dream weavers, who'll sprinkle diamonds in your ears and paint rainbows in your mind, can include any of the following celestial barrel rollers and Shangri-Larian astral plane loop the loopers...........................
Lynden Williams (vocals) - Jerusalem. The Britz. Oxoxox.
Ollie Hannifan (guitars & mandolin) - Mister Kanish. Synaesthesia. Mamma Mia.
Nick D'Virgilio (drums & percussion) - Big Big Train. Spock's Beard. Genesis. Tears For Fears.
Geoff Downes (keyboards) - Asia. Yes. The Buggles.
Dave Meros (bass guitar) - Spock's Beard. Eric Burdon. Iron Butterfly.
Bob Cooke (guitars & mandolin) - Jerusalem. Pussy. The Britz.
Rachael Hawnt (vocals) - Cosmograf. The Beautiful Secret. Great Scott!
Will Wilde (harmonica) - Dani Wilde Band. Will Wilde Band.
Sue Lord (violin & viola) - The Stringbeans Quartet. Tracy Chapman Band.
Rachel Hall (violin) - Stackridge. Judy Dyble. Big Big Train.
Ashley Cutler (bass guitar) - The Beautiful Secret. Great Scott!
Ray Drury (keyboards & accordion) - The Producers. Teed Up. Rufus Stone.
Henk Leerink (bass guitar) - Not Dead Yet. The Britz. Call Me Blondie.
Sadly Bob Cooke lost the use of his left arm, after his second stroke, in 2010. Thankfully he still composes, via his music computer, and his forthcoming work will always find an outlet on future releases.
Another invaluable member of the recording team, who flings many an extra noise, and effect, into the musical mix, is studio owner, producer and engineer, Rob Aubrey, who's worked with Bob and Lynden since 1987. His ears are enshrined in music legend, but he did have to get them syringed out lately.
If you're reading this out of curiosity, then please listen to the music.
If you've heard the music then stay curious, you never know what might happen next!?
Now where's that tin of rainbow paint?
Ah! Sarah-Jane Szikora, artist in residence at Deckchair Palace, has obviously pinched it again!
Bring back that tin of rainbow paint you very naughty, but exceptionally lovely and talented, artistic genius!!

¡Saludos! We hope you are well! We have such good news to share!
The last time we wrote, we mentioned various ministries in which we are involved. I (Edu) had just started to teach part of our "Basic Bible Doctrine" class in our church and we also mentioned that I would be beginning a four part sermon series on the book of Ruth. This past Sunday, I finished the sermon series and the truth is that is has been of great blessing to me. Thank you for your prayers as we continue to serve in ministry and teaching.
On another note, we have confirmed a date to go to Granada at the end of this month and visit some American missionaries. Aaron and Holly are a couple that has been serving in Spain for the last several years and form part of a church plant in Granada. At the end of this month, the church they serve in will turn three and they are planning a big celebration. They have asked us to come and celebrate with them and to teach in the church on Sunday.
Another church in Cadiz, also in southern Spain, has invited us to come and visit. It seems that this church is searching for a pastor and we understand that this trip might be to test the waters. We would like to thank you again for your prayers and ask that you pray that the Lord would show us the church where He would like us to serve in the future.
As you can see, we are open to listen and look for more information about pastoral ministry. We are not in a formal interview process (we would like to spend at least one more year interning here in Vilassar) but at the same time we wouldn't necessarily close the door if opportunities presented themselves. For right now, our tentative plans are:
- Train new staff members to take our roles and hand over our ministry to capable workers. Prepare for our departure from IBSTE after the graduation in late June.
- Come to the US in July to visit you, yes you! Pray for new partnerships, and apply for long-term appointment with CAMino Global (new name!).
- Return to Spain in October, and actually be (live) where our local church is. Right now we are about an hour, más o menos, from our church in Vilassar de Mar. This is something very important to us, to be able to live in a community, build relationships with our Spanish neighbors and share life with them. We are already doing these things, just from inside the bubble 🙂
We want to thank you for your generosity with us, your kindness is represented to us in your prayers and your sacrificial gifts. Without a doubt, it comforts us to know we're not alone. You very much form part of our life here and we don't want to ever grow weary in thanking you.
Your servants in Christ,
Edu & Krista

What Would {Liesl} Wear?
I thought it was time to give a little fashion nod
I'm convinced if Liesl were on the scene today,
she would be right in step with today's fashion...
maybe even flying gazebo-style leaps ahead of us.
So now I'm leaning to Liesl,
and letting her, a little older & wiser,
tell me what to do...

Blennies have a lot of fang for such little fishes
Some are venomous, but others are just faking
Anthony O'Toole
After a recent flurry of news that fang blennies mix an opioid in their venom, a question lingers: What do they need with fangs anyway? Most eat wimpy stuff that hardly justifies whopper canines.
Not that fang blennies are meek fishes.
"When they bite, they bite savagely," says Bryan Fry of the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. "If these little jobbies were 3 meters long, we'd be having to cage dive with them." Real-world blennies, however, grow to only about the size of a cocktail sausage.
These little beasts probably got their big teeth before evolving venom, says Nicholas Casewell of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine in England. That's jusssst backward, snakes might say, as they evolved their venom first. Yet when Casewell, Fry and colleagues put together an evolutionary family tree for the blennies, the one genus with both

My fellow Legionnaires. To those of you who responded to my last message, Thank You. To all the others who could have, but did not, I appeal to you once more.
We need you. We need those who have not paid their dues, to do so as soon as possible.
We have suspended bingo until
October 15, 2003. We will
We will also need your help at our next Beef & Beer affair in the morning to set up, and at night to run this event on October 18th. I make this appeal on behalf of all those members who always show up when needed. Unfortunately, they can't always be there, we need new faces to fill in.
October 5th is our annual Memorial Mass at Mary Queen of Heaven RC Church --12 O'clock mass. Let's have a good turn out!
On Saturday, September 27th, there was an important meeting at the County Headquarters. The members of the six (6) Sons of the American Legion Squadrons in Kings County were invited to attend.
In attendance were, The County Commander Robert Alessi, past County Commanders Robert Coltrinari, Charlie O'Laughlin and myself, Andy Affrunti --Ed Cush, two S.A.L. members from the Michael A Rawley Squadron, two from Bay Ridge, and two from McFadden Bros. We expected at least 20 men. Where were they??
It was embarrassing as we had Albert Deicher, Jr. who is the Vice commander of the 2nd and 10th Districts of the Detachment of NY, Sons of the American Legion, as our guest.
A Constitution for the Sons was put
together in a draft form.
Peter DeAngelis, Jr. became the Chairman from Michael A. Rawley, Jr and Michael Dwyer, became the Secretary. A copy of the draft will be distributed to the squadrons for their approval.
This is the birth of the Sons of the
American Legion for Kings County. In time, we hope to name a Commander,
I hope that we can stir up enough
interest in the Floyd Bennett Squadron to have a Commander, at least one
Vice Commander and an Adjutant. We are one of the biggest as far as
membership is concerned in the county, and unfortunately have no programs,
we are just a "paper squadron". Where is our

English as a Foreign Language for Young Learners in Sweden – Practices and Possibilities
For children to learn English at an early age is considered ever more important in the Swedish school system, and most schools now offer English from pre-school class or year 1. Yet little is known about how the teachers of young learners, who may or may not have English in their degrees, deal with this challenge in practice.
Although there is a certain consensus in the scientific literature about the importance of language "immersion" as well as contextualized meaningful communication in the target language, a pilot study we have conducted shows that the reality in Swedish classrooms may in fact look very different.
The overarching purpose of this project is to generate new knowledge about how English as a Foreign Language (EFL) is taught and learned in young learners' classrooms in Sweden (pre-school class to grade 3). More specifically, we aim to investigate current teaching practices and learning activities, as well as the motives, experiences and expectations of teachers of EFL for young learners.

text: U.S. offshore oil regulator sees growing safety culture By Erwin Seba and Kristen Hays 11/11/2013| www.cos-mag.com HOUSTON (Reuters) — The new head regulator of the United States offshore oil patch says the effort to avert another disaster like 2010's BP Plc's Macondo well blowout may never be finished, and that experts at a national laboratory are helping it model deepwater risks."I don't think there is a point when you are done," Brian Salerno, director of the U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), told Reuters during the Reuters Global Commodities Summit in Houston.Salerno took over as director of BSEE in late August. BSEE is the enforcement side of the former U.S. Minerals Management Service and was created in 2011 after the BP well blowout to split safety and environmental enforcement from the management of offshore crude oil and natural gas resources.Following the Macondo disaster, the worst U.S. offshore spill ever which killed 11 men and released more than four million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, stories emerged about MMS employees being too cozy with oil company officials which raised questions about the integrity of regulators.Rules have since been tightened to redouble safety and disaster response standards."What we mean when we talk about safety culture is that it really takes root and is built into the actual business processes of the companies," Salerno said, adding that BSEE is working to introduce "an additional focus on how we manage risk, collectively.""I've got less than two-and-a-half months stick time," Salerno said of his tenure at the helm of the agency, which included the three-week partial government shutdown that curtailed some of BSEE's work.However, Salerno is no newcomer to maritime safety regulation. Prior to taking over BSEE, he retired as a vice-admiral after a 36-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard during which he served as deputy commandant for operations.While the general impression may be that the Macondo crisis is over, some of the problems it revealed are only beginning to be understood, he said.Looking at aviation safety model"One thing we are missing is information on near misses," Salerno said.Near misses are breakdowns, malfunctions and operational upsets that, had they not been caught in time, could result in disasters. Most near-misses do not release enough pollutants to require reporting to U.S. environmental agencies. They are often unknown to regulators, but after a disaster investigators see them as glaring warnings of impending tragedy.By spring 2014, BSEE hopes to unveil a reporting system that will enable workers to report near misses to the agency through the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS).Workers will be able to report problems anonymously as BTS has the legal authority to keep its information confidential, Salerno said."It's done in aviation, and it can help them too in the industry," he said.The near-miss reporting system will help the agency learn what energy companies are really doing to improve safety as they work with increasingly advanced technologies hundreds of miles offshore and thousands of feet below the surface to extract hydrocarbons from high-pressure, high-temperature wells.Another process for building an effective safety culture in the offshore industry is the continuing auditing of safety plans being carried out by the companies.Eventually, those audits will be performed by independent, rigorous third-party evaluators."We've got to get it to that point," Salerno said.Research centers are also key contributors in developing the safest technologies for the industry. Currently, Argonne National Laboratory outside Chicago and OHMSETT, the National Oil Spill Response Research & Renewable Energy Test Facility in Leonardo, New Jersey, are working on new technologies.BSEE is close to designating a location for the Ocean Energy Safety Institute, which will work to identify the best available technologies for safety and environmental protection.One focus of research at OHMSETT is finding technologies for use in the Arctic Ocean off the coast of Alaska. The intensely cold region requires different systems than the balmy Gulf or the warm waters off the coast of California, where BSEE also regulates drilling and production operations.Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSa.L) has submitted a plan to U.S. authorities for drilling off the shore of Alaska in 2014.From Alaska to the Gulf, oil company plans for new wells mean higher demand for BSEE's services. The U.S. Gulf is expected to see its biggest uptick in output ever in coming years as a string of deepwater platforms ramp up production through 2016."From an industry perspective, business is booming. That means, from a BSEE perspective, business is booming," he said.Salerno said another priority is the ability of producers to quickly respond to a blowout and cap a gushing leak within hours or days rather than the three months it took BP and other industry players to come up with the equipment that finally capped the Macondo well.Those efforts include more research at OHMSETT on spill response technical capabilities and the use of dispersants to break up oil at the seabed in addition to sheens on the water's surface in both warm and cold environments.He also said he is satisfied that the industry has met the post-Macondo requirement that deepwater producers have capping mechanisms ready for dispatch to a leaking well. Oil companies have formed consortiums that built multiple huge caps, much like the one that capped Macondo, and stationed them at various coastal sites for deployment if needed."The technology was developed in the midst of a crisis. You could probably have long discussions as to why nobody thought of it beforehand, why we needed a crisis to stimulate that, but sometimes that's where innovation comes from, unfortunately."

Though you'd never know it by the weather, we are almost into September! That means that our daily tasks are shifting slightly. While we still have plenty of weeding to keep us busy, it does feel like the end is in sight. Shorter days will bring slower plant growth, which means that when we weed next year's strawberries or finish weeding fall cabbage, it will likely be the for the last time this season!
Transplanting and seeding have also become rare activities on the farm these days. In fact we seeded our last lettuce planting in the greenhouse two weeks ago. Aside from the two lettuce successions remaining to be transplanted, we still have some spinach and strawberry plugs to go out into the field, but soon the greenhouse will be empty and Sunday greenhouse watering will be a distant memory.
Other signs that we have shifted gears into fall include the completion of our onion and shallot harvest, the start of our winter squash harvest, and the continued tilling in of crops that have well passed their prime production period. (Farmers take a particular joy in mowing and tilling under old weedy crops - we really love to see clean fields seeded in cover crop!).
Though fall is ever present in our minds, this week's harvest for the store and CSA still reflects the late summer bounty, with a few additional items like carrots and napa cabbage that typically go hand in hand with cooler weather.
In the CSA:
- Carrots - they're back for the fall! We mostly grow a variety called Bolero (though we are also trying out another variety called Miami this year too). The later carrot plantings will get really sweet after a few frosts later this fall.
- Napa cabbage
- Bok Choi
- Watermelon
- Tomatoes
- Beets
- Green and purple peppers
- Sweet Red, Yellow, Orange peppers - some of the peppers are bell peppers and others are the sweet Italian variety (also known as "Bull's horn" because of their pointy shape). We get a lot of questions about whether or not these peppers are hot; All the peppers we harvest for the CSA distribution area are sweet - the hot peppers are all in the PYO area!
- Eggplant
- Zucchini
- Summer Squash
- Cucumbers
- Lettuce
- Arugula
- Chard
- Kale
- Cherry tomatoes
- Tomatillos
- Husk Cherries
- Hot peppers - jalapeno, serrano and ancho
- Chocolate, Green Burst and Procut Orange sunflowers
- Basil
- Cilantro
- Dill flowers
In the store: Everything available in the CSA will also be available in the store. In addition, we will have mushrooms from Fat Moon Farm and sweet corn from Verrill Farm.
Farm store hours:
- Tuesdays & Thursdays 11am - 6pm*
- Wednesdays and Fridays 2pm - 6pm
- Saturdays 10am - 3pm*
*Hours in bold with an asterix are also CSA pick-up hours.
Vegetable Potstickers
adapted from the Uncommon Gourmet
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- pepper to taste
- ½ tsp sugar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 cup chopped bok choi or napa cabbage
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 medium sized carrot, grated
- ¼ cup diced shiitake mushrooms
- 1 ½ tsp finely grated ginger
- 1 package wonton wrappers
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, pepper, sugar and sesame oil. Mix and set aside. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over high heat in a wok or large skillet. Add bok choi/napa cabbage, scallions, carrots, mushrooms and ginger and stir fry for 2 minutes. Add the soy sauce mixture and stir fry for 1 minute more. Remove from heat.
Preheat the oven to 400F and grease a large baking sheet. Place 1 tablespoon of the filling in the middle of a wonton skin. Fold over to form a triangle. Slightly dampen the outer edges with water and press the edges with a fork to seal. Place the potsticker on the baking sheet and repeat with remaining wonton skins. Brush the tops of the potstickers with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until browned and crisp around edges. Serve immediately with soy sauce on the side for dipping.

Teens cite Twitter as the most important social networking site
Facebook has always been at the forefront of social networking, attracting over a billion users from all over the world. But now the site is losing popularity with its most important demographic, its younger users, causing many brands using the site for content marketing to question its effectiveness.
A recent study by Piper Jaffray showed Facebook may lose its coveted position at number one to Twitter. The study asked 8,650 US teenagers to identify which social networking site is the most likely to influence their purchasing decision.
Twitter came in first with 26 per cent of teens giving it the top rating, while Facebook and Instagram were on equal ground, both at 23 per cent. At the start of the year, Facebook was ahead by 3 per cent, and in 2012 it was ahead by 15 per cent.
After a lot of speculation, it is now apparent that Facebook is losing influence over its younger users. At last month's Third Quarter Earnings Call, Facebook's CFO David Ebersman admitted that the amount of younger teens using the site daily is decreasing.
Although Twitter is now No. 1 among teens, the Piper Jaffray survey revealed the microblogging site also experienced a decline in popularity.
The results indicate an interest in other, less well-known, social networking sites. The amount of teens selecting 'Other' has risen from 4 per cent at the start of the year to 17 per cent.
It is clear that the concentration of attention by younger social media users is diversifying, but this does not mean that Facebook is no longer effective for social media marketing.
Although it may no longer be the most influential social networking site among teens, the amount of Facebook users aged between 12 and 24 will stay the same until 2017, according to eMarketer.
The site also reports that businesses using Twitter to draw in the younger crowd can expect the number of teens on the site to increase steadily during that same time.

If you asked me last week "what is one of the most boring tasks you can think of" inquiring about an insurance rate would have been one of them. I read about the startup Lemonade a few months ago and came across their site today. They appear to be "ripe for disruption"...and I'm always on board with that.
I decided to check out some videos and download the app. Lemonade takes the insurance broker out of the equation and saves you more money on your monthly cost. Not to mention, Lemonade boasts 3-second claims return time. The AI is "well educated" and the application disables user input - (so I can't ask "hello how are you?", "where do you live" and "tell me a joke" or any other number of phrases I've become used to with conversational design). The exclusion of user input wasn't even something I missed, and it appears to works in favor of the user by "clearing roadblocks" to enable task completion and providing a simple and (dare I say) delightful user experience.
The app was really easy to get up and running and even kind of fun. I chatted with my "agent" Maya for a few minutes and answered some questions about my needs and the whole interaction takes place in a text message environment (something their target user is very accustomed to). The rapid fire nature of the Q&A session was amazing and before I knew it...my quote was available. Did I mention I'm not even in the market for a new insurance plan BUT Lemonade makes it so easy to switch to them...I might consider it.
Why can't more things work like this?

New Book Explores Technology in Education
Students in the digital age have encountered a variety of new technologies designed to make classes run more smoothly, and to make the overall learning process more entertaining and convenient. While the usefulness of each new gadget or app varies, the assumption that a more technologically enhanced educational experience is beneficial is rarely questioned. In his new book, Educational Ecologies: Toward a Symbolic-Material Understanding of Discourse, Technology, and Education, Dr. John Dowd begins by exploring this very assumption.
"Given digital technology's expansion into environments where teaching and learning take place," Dowd states, "it's more vital than ever to reflect on the relationship between discourses and technologies, and the real ways that they impact the experiences of both professors and students."
In his study of various forms of the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) educational movement, Dowd finds that despite the opportunities for positively transforming higher education, many versions of the DIY movement ultimately fall short when understood through the rhetorics of neutrality, determinism, and entrepreneurialism. Thus, rather than a wholesale rejection or celebration of educational technology, Dowd argues that it is increasingly vital that we reflect upon which technological adoptions make sense and which require adjustment or abandonment all together.

On Google, I can search the word, "chocolate," or I can search for the image of chocolate. The first search offers millions of words about the history and content and availability of chocolate. The second search delivers a picture of the thing itself: lush, creamy, dark or light, shimmering shapes in foil and ribbons, or plain bars. The image gets me closer to the essence of chocolate, to chocolate-ness itself. And while it's useful to know that chocolate comes from cacao beans and that dark chocolate is good for me, the image of a milk chocolate truffle powdered with cinnamon affects me on a different set of circuits.
It bypasses my left-brained intelligence as it stirs and attracts me. That image goes right into my nervous system, into my senses. My mood lightens, my mouth waters. I think of candy I've enjoyed recently. I notice I want some. Now.
Images are a powerful language, older than words and deeper than thought. They speak in our dreams free from limited day time logic. They affect us if we give them time and attention. Hover with an image from your dreams this week. See where it takes your thoughts and feelings. Allow it to affect you. Learn something new about yourself and your life.

Whew, after yesterday's image, I'm thinking "this really is in the uglies!" But today's image shows why getting those big flat planes of color in place is essential before heading for the details (which make the finish on a piece).
I've added the arches and windows on the side of the church, using the flat edge of both a 1/2" filbert and a size 6 bright to get the shapes in one stroke, using burnt umber. Then I spent the balance of the ten minutes working on the car shapes by adding the sky reflections on the hoods and tops and painting wheel wells and dark shapes on the opposing side of the street. A little messing around under the bushes on the lower right, and I'm done with these few minutes.
But I did clean up the brush mark on the lower part with more layers of sunlit color before the "dinger" went off again!
Congratulations to new collector Pam Morthorst of Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania, on the addition of "Through the Woods" to her collection!

A policeman has allegedly shot to death one Imo Ekanem, a final year student of the Department of Mass Communication, Uyo City Polytechnic, Nduetong Oku, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, over the victim's refusal to give N100 bribe, Punchng reports.
Ekanem was shot dead by the policeman at his hometown, Nkek, on Saturday, while he was on errand using his mother's motorcycle.
An eyewitness, Usung Simeon, revealed that Ekanem was killed by one of the policemen attached to the special squad the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Zubairu Muazu, sent to the area to confront recurrent cult activities.
Simeon said the policemen stopped and searched Ekanem but they did not find anything incriminating thing with him. He added that the policemen demanded N100 from him, but his refusal to part with the money led to a policeman killing him.
Simeon said, "He was shot dead after a heated argument with one of the policemen. Because the activities of the cultists are always carried out with the use of motorbikes, the police have been conducting stop-and-search operations.
So, they just stopped him and subjected him to a search, but nothing was found on him. We were surprised that the police demanded for N100 bribe. His refusal to part with the money infuriated one of the policemen, who cocked his gun and shot him at close range."
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Chukwu Ikechukwu, who confirmed the incident to our correspondent, denied that Ekanem was killed by his refusal to give the police N100 bribe.
Ikechukwu said what he first heard was that the deceased was trying to collect the rifle from the policeman, who shot and killed him in self-defence. "The matter was not about N100 issue, though the police is still investigating the case.
After our meeting today (Monday), the CP has directed the Area Commander, Ikot Ekpene, to transfer the matter to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Ikot Akpanabia, for thorough investigation," he said. He said everything necessary would be done to ensure that justice is served.

Both Washington and Moscow are waiting for US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin's first meeting at the G20 summit with bated breath.
After exchanging several phone calls, Trump will meet Putin in person for the first time as president at the annual G20 meeting that begins in Hamburg, Germany on Friday.
Speculation on what the two presidents may discuss has been covered broadly in both Russian and Western media, with the war in Syria and conflict in eastern Ukraine coming up as likely topics.
But journalists in Russia also wondered whether the presidential meeting could spell something more — talk of easing sanctions, an improved US-Russia relationship or, according to some state-owned papers, a full-on staring contest.
"Citizens of our country will want to know one thing above all," wrote Viktor Krestianinov for state-owned Argumenti Nedeli. "What will Trump see when he glances into Putin's eyes?"
He went on to write that many people are waiting to see what the latest US president really thinks of Russia.
"Let us remind you that first President George W. Bush saw their soul while, later, known senator-Russophobe John McCain saw three letters: K, G and B," Krestianinov said.
Other outlets reported that Trump's meeting with Putin would be scrutinized more heavily in the US than in Russia, where many see the meeting as merely a symbolic step in a more convoluted relationship between the two countries.
Several Russian papers argued that Trump wants to bring the two governments closer, but members of his own administration prevent him from doing so.
"Many of Trump's officials would prefer for Washington to keep its distance from Russia and for Trump to conduct only a brief meeting with the Russian leader," wrote independent paper Gazeta.ru.
But as no one really knows what Trump and Putin will talk about at the G20 summit, most newspapers were left to pontificate over what Washington is most worried about in the meeting with Putin. One paper said Trump's officials will be anxiously analyzing the "language of gestures" to figure out whether Putin would pressure Trump to ease American sanctions against the country.
"If Trump's first May trip to Europe gave him the chance to avoid a commotion at home, the second one will throw him right into a whirpool at the center of which lies Vladimir Putin," wrote Melor Sturua, a well-known journalist who has been writing for various Russian newspapers since the 1950s.
