When Nikki was visiting this weekend, I was telling her about my favorite soup to make and promised her I would post the recipe this week so here it is! I love this soup at anytime, but especially when I'm feeling run down. I just made it last night, but used spinach instead of kale… I have to say that it was still good, but I really missed the kale. Whether you use kale or another green (I highly recommend kale), this soup will definitely leave you feeling comfortably full and rejuvenated!
All Natural Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 6 cloves (or more) garlic chopped
- half an onion chopped
- 1 large bunch organic kale (definitely want to go organic since kale is a member of the "Dirty Dozen")
- 2 cans cannellini beans (~15.5 oz cans aka the small ones OR 1 large can)
- 1 32 fl oz box of all natural chicken stock + 2 cups of either chicken stock/vegetable stock/good quality H20
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- dash of hot sauce
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper and/or red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp oregano
- sea salt & black pepper
How to:
- Heat oil in large pot
- Add onion & garlic
- Give the onion & garlic a good salt & peppering
- Stir 5 minutes to avoid burning
- Pour in chicken stock + extra stock/water
- Add veggies & beans
- Add a few dashes of apple cider vinegar and/or hot sauce
- Add oregano, cayenne/red pepper flakes, additional salt & pepper to taste
- Let simmer for 1 hour or longer
- Enjoy!

Denver Silent Film Festival ending on provocative note
Denver Silent Film Fest artistic director Howie Movshovitz didn't temper his enthusiasm when he introduced Serge Bromberg and David Shepard as two of the world's greatest film archivists Saturday afternoon at the King Center recital hall in the Auraria Campus.
Bromberg joins Shepard as the young but impressive fest's lifetime achievement honorees and the two rose to the occasion at an afternoon presentation.
The well-attended fest opened Friday with a sold-out screening of William A. Wellman's "Wings," and closes with a 7 p.m. screening of G.W. Pabst provocative 1929 classic, "Pandora's Box," starring Louise Brooks as a young woman who pushes the boundaries of society sexually with fascinating — and dire — consequences (7 p.m. King Center on the Auraria Campus.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Seminoles.com) – As the first team from the Atlantic Coast Conference to play in the annual AVCA Showcase, the 13th-ranked Florida State indoor volleyball team will face No. 7 Nebraska on Aug. 29 at 7 p.m. (CT) at the Bob Devaney Sports Center before traveling to Ames, Iowa to play Iowa State at 1 p.m. (CT) on Aug. 31.
"It's going to be great for the girls," FSU head coach Chris Poole said. "They will have the opportunity to see how high we can go and what level we're capable of playing on. We want to see under pressure how the girls are going to respond."
The AVCA Showcase is an annual tournament that kicks off the season and features teams that are perennial powers of NCAA Division I Volleyball. Nebraska has been included in 10 showcases, including the first one back in 1995.
Florida State has faced a ranked opponent during its opening weekend four times in the last three years to combine for a 4-0 record. The seventh-ranked Huskers will be the highest ranked team the Seminoles have seen on opening day in school history.
This will be the first match against the Huskers since 1982. Nebraska holds the all-time series edge at 2-0.
"This is no joke for us," junior outside hitter Nicole Walch said. "We're excited to head out to Nebraska and show them what we have. We aren't going to underestimate them and I can't wait to see what we can do."
Walch is one of three starters returning to the lineup in 2014. Last season, Walch led the Seminole attack with 447 kills, averaging 3.58 per set.
Friday's contest will be available for BTN Live subscribers. Free audio and livestats will also be available.
On Sunday, Florida State will play in the second match of the Showcase and face Iowa State. The Seminoles are 4-0 against the Cyclones all-time.
"This says a lot about the growth of the ACC over the past few years," Poole said. "Teams have made runs in the NCAA Tournament and it's a great compliment for the ACC to have a team chosen (for the showcase). We're going to go in and do our best to represent the conference."

April 21, 2004
FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla - Santa Clara University men's soccer standout Erik Ustruck earned his second-straight start as the U.S. Under-20 Men's National Team edged the Haiti Select team 1-0 behind a goal from midfielder Craig Capano in front of 9,105 fans at Lockhart Stadium. The victory is the second for the U-20s during their weeklong camp in South Florida as a day earlier the U.S. defeated Jamaica 1-0 in Sunrise.
"We played a good game tonight and beat a good Haiti team," said U.S. Under-20 head coach Thomas Rongen. "I'm pleased with the result. As we continue to move forward our ultimate goal is to continue winning, gain team chemistry and evaluate our best players as we work towards the world championship next year."
The first half was fast paced as both teams pushed forward and had chances on goal, with the U.S. getting the majority of opportunities, but Haiti hit the post just seconds before the halftime whistle. The U.S. outshot Haiti nine to four in the first half, putting six on goal, but Haitian 'keeper Jonathan Barraza was the best player on the field, making numerous highlight-reel saves.
In the seventh minute, the U.S. had a nice run of play that started with a tough tackle by midfielder Danny Szetela at midfield. Szetela's slide tackle knocked the ball towards Freddy Adu, who played a give-and-go with Capano, receiving the ball near the top of the penalty area. With a quick juke, Adu pushed it past his defender on the right and dribbled into the box, before heeling the ball back to Watson, who's left-footed attempt was off the mark.
Two minutes later, Haiti showed its ability to cause havoc on the other end of the field as midfielder Ricardo Pierre-Louis got free down the left flank and sent in a dangerous cross, but knocked it too deep for forward Fuerto Charles to chase down.
Capano took his first strike of the game in the 18th minute after a good buildup got him an open look. Starting on the right sideline, Adu slipped a pass between defenders to Eddie Gaven, who slyly let it pass through his legs to Szetela at the top of the penalty area. Szetela looked for a shot, but with a defender fronting him, pushed it to his left to Capano, who took an off balance shot that went just to the outside of the lower right post.
Five minutes later, Capano put his next shot on goal, curling a 28-yard free kick to the lower right corner, but Barraza did a remarkable job to dive down with his left paw to knock it out for a corner kick.
Forward Jamie Watson created a number of chances in the first 45 minutes as well, taking a number of shots at all areas of the field. In the 38th minute, Watson had his best chance with a great individual effort only to be denied by Barraza. The speedy forward dispossessed Haiti's left back, dribbled into the box and with Adu running with him on his right, juked his defender before ripping a shot from eight yards out. It looked like Barraza was going to get beat to the near post, but the 'keeper made a reflexive save to parry it over the bar.
The action-packed half went all the way up to the final minute as both teams put shots on frame. The U.S. was first as Gaven forced a turnover inside Haiti's penalty area and quickly dropped the ball back to Adu, who shot on goal was saved by Barraza. Moments later, Haiti came inches from taking a lead into the half as Pierre-Louis got free atop the 18-yard box and pulled the trigger, hitting the crossbar.
The second half picked up where the first half left off as the U.S. put even more shots on target, starting with a great opportunity in the 52nd minute off a free kick. Adu swerved in the dead ball from the left sideline and Gaven rose to flick it back across the goal with his head to a wide-open McClung. With Barraza out of position, the defender's header hit the crossbar and bounced back to Watson, who tried to bang it home, but hit it over the bar with a defender on his back.
In the 64th minute, second half substitute Kamani Hill got into the action just three minutes after stepping on the field. The forward received a perfect through ball by Gaven on the left side of the penalty area and hit a well-struck ball that beat Barraza, only to hit the right post and stay out of the net.
Seven minutes later, Capano was able to break the tie and get the eventual game winner. Capano received a square ball from Gaven at the top of the box, took a few quick touches to the right and hit a cracker back across the goal, just getting the left post and deflecting into the net.
"Earlier in the game I had been taken shots from outside, but I wasn't hitting good shots and I was hitting them off people, so I was looking to pass initially," said the Chicago Fire midfielder. "Then, I took a touch and things opened up and I just smacked it."
The U.S. almost doubled their lead in the 74th minute when Adu sent in a corner kick from the left side to the back post where Tim Ward was able to head it back across to McClung. Sitting in the same spot as before when he headed off the post, McClung volley out of the air just zipped over the bar.
In the final 10 minutes, Haiti pushed into the U.S. backline looking for the equalizer, but both of their attempts went safely over the bar.
Notes: Before the match, a moment of silence was given in memory of Nicole Megaloudis, the stepdaughter of Rongen, who died in a car accident two months ago at the age of 19 ... A portion of the proceeds from the game will benefit the Nicole Megaloudis Foundation ... The U.S. will play two more games before the end of camp, facing Jamaica on Thursday and Haiti on Saturday.

On if he was pleased with the victory...
"Our objectives this week is first to get results. We are 2-0 right now as we beat Jamaica yesterday and then a good Haiti team today. For me there is no substitution for winning as it breads a good feeling. I'm pleased we were able to create enough chances to win the game. We did a good job of getting the result."
On looking ahead...
"We're trying to build team chemistry right now and look at some new players. There were a few players that played today that I didn't know much about, which was the same as yesterday. There is an ongoing process of evaluation of finding the best 20 players."
On the atmosphere at the stadium...
"I think the large crowd showed that people cared. I told my assistant coaches that this was a really exciting match and the crowd was really getting into the game, which made it even better. This turned out to be a very, very special evening that I think everyone will be able to enjoy for a long time."
On the pace of the match...
"I told my assistant coaches that this was a great game, it was enjoyable. It was a tribute to both teams that they wanted to attack and play good football."
Forward Freddy Adu (D.C. United)
On his performance in the match...
"I did alright. It was a really good atmosphere and we got the win. That's the most important thing, so now everybody is happy."
On his ankle injury...
"It's just a reoccurring ankle injury. It is one of those things when you think it is going away and then it comes right back. After that I was a little scared to go in because whenever I got hit there it hurt pretty bad, but if you want to be the best you have to suck it up and play through an injury."
Midfielder Eddie Gaven (NY/NJ Metrostars)
On the number of chances the U.S. got...
"I thought we moved the ball well at times. There was definitely a lot of space out there, especially near the end of the game when guys were getting tired. There were stretches in the game where we played really well and we just need to keep it at that level throughout the game more."
Midfielder Arturo Alvarez (San Jose Earthquakes)
On the play overall...
"It was a good game. We knew we were going to play a good side, so we were prepared for it. I'm happy with the win."
On how the team is coming together...
"We're trying to find the best team to put out there, so we can represent our country and qualify for the Under-20 World Championship in 2005. The more games we get the better. We get to know each other on and off the field and that is something good for the team."

Android FAQ for the SAP Mobile Interactive Tutorials
When I import a project into Android Studio, I am asked if I would like to use the Gradle wrapper. What should I do?
It is recommended to select "OK" in order to use the included Gradle wrapper.
When I launch an Mobile Interactive Tutorials on my device, I am asked to set a lock screen PIN
This can safely be ignored: The applications will still work if you hit "Cancel". However, it is highly recommended that you protect your data by means of the locking mechanisms that your platform provides.
What are the recommended settings for the Android Studio setup?
The SAP Mobile Interactive Tutorials have been tested as they are, and therefore we recommend not to update these project settings.
iOS FAQ for the SAP Mobile Interactive Tutorials
Why are the SAP Mobile Interactive Tutorials HTML5 version not running on the iOS 10 simulator?
The SAP Mobile Platform SDKs works fine on an iOS 10 device and all Apps build with our SDK will work. The HTML5/iOS version of Mobile Interactive Tutorials are using Cordova as a wrapper for the HTML5. The Cordova container has issues with the iOS 10 simulator which result in some features of our SDK not working. Therefore, we recommend for development with the simulator to switch to iOS 9.x.
Why is there no tutorial for Push for iOS?
Due to the way Apple Push is working SAP cannot set up central service to provide Push messages to Apps which have been built by unknown developers. The plan is to provide an advanced Tutorial in the future where all steps to how to implement and test Push on iOS are shown.
The Android tutorial will explain all the basics how to get it to work on the HTML5 on the client side.
Why do the samples for the SAP Cloud Platform SDK for iOS only support simulator?
The sample projects one can download only contain the SAP Cloud Platform SDK for iOS framework for the simulator. If you want to run them on a device download the latest version of the SDK from the SAP store and exchange the Framworks with the ones for the device.

Lead poisoning has faded as a major health concern over the years, but one Daniel Island mother is joining a national effort to bring it back and to change the perception that the issue only pertains to low-income families.
Mindy Allen says her son, Haddon, was misdiagnosed with autism by the N.C. Children's Developmental Services Agency before age 2 after he exhibited disorder symptoms, such as making no eye contact, not wanting to be touched, having tantrums and severely delayed language skills.
For the Allens, who lived in Wilmington, N.C., where they had restored a historic home, life had been trying and traumatic since his birth.
"I was in pain because he was in pain," recalls Allen. "It was something I carried in my soul."
But when a speech therapist noticed that Haddon also suffered from eczema, watery eyes and other symptoms that don't typically accompany autism, the question was raised about allergies. The Allens were referred to the Center for Occupational and Environmental Medicine, located off of Ashley Phosphate in North Charleston.
Allen says the center's tissue samples came back with "off the charts" lead levels.
According to Allen, the center's medical director, Dr. Allan Lieberman, suspected that Haddon's issue dated back to when she was pregnant and supervising renovation of their 1925-era house in Wilmington, where workers demolished a wall that likely contained lead paint.
Lead paint exposure is a well-known problem in Charleston where there are so many houses, dating to pre-1978 years, when lead was banned from paint. The city of Charleston has worked to clean up urban homes where the lead paint is a problem for low-income residents.
Interestingly, the Allen's other children, a daughter who is two years older than Haddon and a daughter who is three years younger, have had no issues.
Haddon was put on a gluten- and casein-free diet, free of preservatives and additives, and about 20 supplements, including fish oil and magnesium. He later received other alternative therapies to remove heavy metals from his body from Lieberman's clinic. Lieberman did not respond to questions for this article.
Haddon's symptoms improved, and before starting kindergarten, his diagnosis of autism was reversed. Today, at age 11, Haddon is a healthy, athletic and socially engaged fifth-grader, making A's and B's, at Daniel Island Elementary School.
Dr. Jane Charles, a developmental and behavioral pediatrician at the Medical University of South Carolina, could not comment on the specifics of the Allen case because she didn't know the details of it.
Charles adds that parents should know that the "gold standard" for an autism diagnosis is the "Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule."
Charles says she is familiar with Lieberman's practice and warns that many alternative treatment plans are not based on scientific evidence, nor covered by insurance or Medicaid. And she recommends that a therapist observing behavior in patients be "blinded" to information about any changes in diet or supplementation to avoid bias.
Allen vowed that she was going to help other parents and be a voice raising a new awareness of lead poisoning, particularly for families who are middle and upper income and live in historic homes along the U.S. coast from Savannah to Boston.
She founded a nonprofit, Special Family Resource, which basically provides resources she felt she and her husband didn't have when they were going through problems with Haddon.
"We really don't know how many kids are being misdiagnosed with disorders that actually have lead poisoning," says Allen.
Allen also is joining a campaign by Tamara Rubin, a Portland, Ore., mother of two children who have permanent disabilities from lead poisoning. Rubin is the producer and director of a new film, "MisLEAD: America's Secret Epidemic."
Rubin's children, now 11 and 9, were exposed when painters used a blow torch to remove exterior lead paint from her 1917 home in historic Portland.
"The home had been covered in aluminum siding and we wanted to restore it to its original glory, so we removed the siding and hired a contractor who said he was lead-safe certified, but we never asked to see the certification."
The 94-minute film follows 17 families with lead-poisoned children, who were diagnosed with disorders from attention-deficit disorder to autism, and takes the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to task for being slow to further tighten restriction and safety levels.
"This film is about dispelling some of the myths about lead poisoning," says Rubin, noting that she has enlisted 130 mothers around the nation to help spread the word about the film and its message.
In 2012, the CDC released a report, "Low-Level Lead Exposure Harms Children: A Renewed Call of Primary Prevention," finding that "no safe blood lead level in children has been identified."
In a nutshell, the CDC says that lead causes permanent neurological damage to children, decreasing IQ and causing other serious health consequences.
Meanwhile, Rubin says the CDC needs to recommend that lead levels be tested in youth up to age 25 because "our brains develop until we're 25" and that white families who are middle and upper income need to take it as seriously as other groups considered more vulnerable.
A free screening of "MisLEAD" will be held at 7 p.m. April 23 at the Charleston Music Hall.
Rubin and her film are already getting attention, from meeting with the Environmental Protection Agency for four days in January, to an article expected to be published in "Parents" magazine in the June/July edition.
Despite lead paint being outlawed for residential purposes by the federal government more than 35 years ago, it is still present in millions of homes built prior to 1978.
The effort falls on the heels of a Jan. 7 ruling, won by the Charleston-based Motley Rice Law Firm, in favor of the people of 10 California cities and counties for $1.15 billion in damages by three lead paint manufacturers, ConAgra Grocery Products Company, NL Industries, Inc., and The Sherwin-Williams Company.
Judge James P. Kleinberg of the Santa Clara Superior Court finalized a ruling saying that the companies created a public nuisance by concealing the dangers of lead, pursued a campaign against regulation of lead paint and actively promoted lead paint for use in homes, despite knowing that lead paint was highly toxic.
Motley Rice attorney Fidelma Fitzpatrick, who served as lead trial counsel, said in statement that the "abatement plan is a proactive solution to preventing lead poisoning waiting to happen due to existing paint, a positive example of prevention instead of treating the negative effects after the fact."
While Allen has joined forces in the anti-lead poisoning campaign, she still feels an affinity with the autism community and was among those last week taking note of a new estimate of children with autism last week.
As the health community recognizes World Autism Awareness Month this month and World Autism Awareness Day on Wednesday, many are still absorbing stunning news from the CDC raising the estimate of children with autism by 30 percent.
Last week, the CDC estimated that 1 in 68 children, or 14.7 per 1,000 8-year-olds, in multiple communities in the United States have been identified with autism spectrum disorder. In 2012, the CDC estimated it was 1 in 88 children.
The CDC noted that the criteria used to diagnose autism and the methods used to collect data have not changed.
Beside the estimate increase, the data also showed that boys are five times more likely to have autism than girls and that white children are more likely to be identified as having autism than black or Hispanic children.
The study found that almost half of children identified with autism have average or above average intellectual ability (an IQ above 85) compared to a third of children a decade ago.
"The most important thing for parents to do is to act early when there is a concern about a child's development," says Dr. Marshalyn Yeargin-Allsopp, chief of CDC's Developmental Disabilities Branch, in a release.
"If you have a concern about how your child plays, learns, speaks, acts or moves, take action. Don't wait."

Wrecking Ball was once a tiny grub worm
about to become the main ingredient in an old wizard's cauldron of magic stew. But when he was dropped in, the wizard was shocked to see the little grub devour all of the soup and emerge from the cauldron 20 times larger and with a long, sticky tongue. The poor old wizard was even more surprised seconds later, when Wrecking Ball proceeded to swallow him whole. Eventually he ran, quite literally, into the powerful Portal Master Eon, who was intrigued by how he came to be and impressed with his unique abilities.

GENEVA, N.Y. - The Tufts University field hockey team scored twice in the final 20 minutes to take a 2-1 win over Bowdoin in the third round of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday at William Smith College.
The Polar Bears finish their season with a record of 16-4 and, for just the second time in the last eight years, will miss out on the Division III Final Four.
Tufts advances to its first NCAA Semifinal appearance since making back-to-back bids in 2008 and '09. The Jumbos improve to 17-2 on the year and will face DePauw in the national semifinals next Saturday in Geneva, N.Y.
Tufts had the first great chance 10 minutes in, as a penalty corner resulted in a bouncing ball to the right side of the cage. Lia Sagerman put a stick on it, but the ball caromed off the post out of bounds. Bowdoin rebounded with a push downfield, earning a penalty corner of their own. A scramble in front came to Katie Riley on the left side of the net. Riley lifted the ball to Lauren Schroeder on the back post, who knocked it home for a 1-0 lead at 10:27.
Tufts had a sustained possession with about ten minutes remaining and had a pair of nice chances that were both kick-saved by Kayla Lessard to maintain the one-goal edge. Bowdoin pushed downfield with under three minutes left in the period and were awarded a penalty stroke with 2:30 left on a transition play. But Brianna Keenan made a diving stick save on the stroke attempt to keep it a one-goal deficit at intermission.
The teams traded possession to open the second half before Bowdoin garnered a great chance off a penalty corner with 23 minutes remaining. Brooke Phinney's initial shot was blocked, but her rebound attempt slipped through the Tufts defense. Rachel Gerhardt came to the rescue for the Jumbos, swatting the ball off the goal line to keep it 1-0 Polar Bears.
Moments later, Gerhardt came up big again, ripping a shot from the right side of the circle that Chelsea Yogerst redirected in front to deadlock the score with 19:52 remaining. Tufts took the lead ten minutes later, as a hard shot from Gerhardt off a corner was saved by Lessard. The ball came out to the middle of the circle where Dakota Sikes-Keilp slipped a turnaround shot that skimmed inside the right post with 8:30 remaining.
Bowdoin had two penalty corners in the closing moments, including one with no time remaining, but could not covert as the Jumbos held on to the win.
Lessard made six saves for Bowdoin, who were out-shot 11-9 by the Jumbos. Keenan made two saves for the Jumbos.

Is it OK to love Trainspotting?
The summer Trainspotting came out, we were obsessed with it. It was hot all the time and we were allowed a little more freedom than we had been before. We were using most of it to go downtown, to see and buy and consume things that weren't available at the mall or the Blockbuster. We would get off the subway and walk down the grotty Yonge Street strip to the Uptown Theatre, which was kind of delightfully grotty itself, and then watch Trainspotting. Full Story

Emily Diamond, Psy.D.
Full-Time Institute Faculty
B.A. East Asian Studies, University of Oregon, 1989
Waseda University, Tokyo, International Studies Department, 1987 – 88
Psy.D Clinical Psychology, The Wright Institute, 2004
Dr. Diamond has a long interest in cross-cultural psychology and is the co-translator of the book: Japan and America: One Woman's View (1991).
Her current international interests include the phenomenon of bullying and the epidemiology of suicide. Both of these phenomena, like many other health issues which interest her, differ by region and country for a variety of reasons, including such things as the wealth and stability of nations, levels of inequity, group and social psychology and individual biology. She finds that this view allows her to more fully understand the many factors that influence one's ability to thrive.
Dr. Diamond has also done forensic research and neuropsychological testing of workers exposed to neurotoxins. This work has taken her to different states on behalf of workers who have fallen ill on the job. The effects of neurotoxins and their relationship to such things as movement disorders, mood, cognition and general health status are one part of Dr. Diamond's strong interest in health justice in medical psychology—the interplay of medical illness and psychology.

If you are thinking about writing me a letter or an e-mail, read this first and maybe you will find that your questions are already answered!
How do you get your ideas?It makes me sigh in exhaustion when I am asked that question because it is simply one for which there isn't any answer. And yet everyone asks it! Ideas come from your imagination. What triggers your imagination? Things that you read, see, overhear, dream, or wonder about. Anything that makes you think: "What if…? " is the start of a story.
Yes, but how did you get the idea for The Giver?If you read the acceptance speech for the Newbery Medal, it tries to answer that question.
My school is having a fund-raising auction. Will you send a donation for it?I used to do that. But I have run out of stuff to send. (Do you know that authors have to buy their own books? We don't have stacks of them sitting around). So I am not able to send donations; I get too many requests…maybe ten a week. Just can't do it!
What advice do you have for people who want to be writers?Reading is the best way to learn to write well. Read as much as you can. Think about what you read: how the author made it interesting, or funny, or suspenseful. And write as much as you can, too. Keep a journal. Get together with friends who enjoy writing, and read things aloud to each other and talk about them.
I've written lots of stories. How can I get them published?There are a few magazines that publish things by kids (look in a book called Writer's Markets to find them, and also for instructions on how to submit things). But my personal opinion is that you should not worry about "being published." You should enjoy writing, and writing more and more, so that you become better at it. I always sort of cringe when I hear, "I want to be a published writer" from a kid. I'd rather hear, "I love to write."
But I want to be rich and famous.Very, very few writers become rich and famous. Stephen King and J.K. Rowling. They are very unusual. Most writers don't even make a living by writing. If you want to become rich, then you should invent something like EBay; or maybe be an orthodontist. But writing won't do it.
Do you have a pet?I have a Tibetan terrier named Alfie who is one of my best friends: a very cuddly, affectionate guy. But when Martin, my partner, died recently, Alfie was clearly lonely. I didn't want to deal with a second dog! But I got Alfie a kitten. My grandsons chose her at the Animal Shelter, and I asked them to name her for one of the flowers in my garden. I thought I'd end up with a Daisy or a Hollyhock! But they named her Lupine. Lupine is one of Maine's most wonderful flowers...(There is even a picture book named Miss Rumphius, by Barbara Cooney, which is about lupine)... We call the kitten Lulu, and she is very lovable, and good company for Alfie.
Do you know other writers?Yes, I have a lot of friends who are writers both for kids and adults. We all choose our friends because we have interests in common, so it is not surprising that many of my friends are also writers. I suppose professional basketball players hang out with other professional basketball players. And doctors probably sit and schmooze with other doctors.
What did you read when you were a kid?I read everything. I was lucky that I grew up in a family that valued books. I went to the library all the time starting at about age 5 or 6. My mom read to me. I read to myself. I loved an author named Lois Lenski, and now I laugh because sometimes kids write to me and say, "I loved your book Strawberry Girl and I have to tell them it was by Lois Lenski.
I am writing a paper about (The Giver) or (Number the Stars) or…..whatever. Please tell me….I can't do school assignments for kids. The reason a teacher gives an assignment…sometimes a HARD one…is to make you think, because by thinking you learn. If I do your thinking for you, you won't learn anything.
A parent from my school wants to ban The Giver. What do you think about that?I think banning books is a very, very dangerous thing. It takes away an important freedom. Any time there is an attempt to ban a book, you should fight it as hard as you can. It's okay for a parent to say, "I don't want my child to read this book." But it is not okay for anyone to try to make that decision for other people. The world portrayed in The Giver is a world where choice has been taken away. It is a frightening world. Let's work hard to keep it from truly happening.
Do kids ever send you rude emails?Oh, yes. I think when people can be anonymous, by not signing their name, they like to use it as a way of being hateful. I just delete those emails. But I feel kind of sorry for those kids, because they missed out on an opportunity to have a conversation with an author. If a kid writes me and says simply, "Your book sucks" I delete the email and don't reply and I never think about it again. But if they say, "I didn't much like your book for the following reasons…" then I read it with interest; maybe I learn from it; and I will answer it.
You know the emails I most dislike, though? Even if a kid loves a book? Ones that use abbreviated spelling and no punctuation, like the example below. It would be so easy---and helpful---to PUNCTUATE! And it seems sloppy not to bother. I sometimes write back and ask them to send the question, or comments, again, with punctuation, so that I can understand what they are sayinng.
dear lois I had to read yr book the giver in school and I tht I wld hate it but it turned out to be okay cuz I liked that guy jonas he was like cool why don't you wrote more about him I would prolly read those boks if u wrot them okay?

About a month ago, I swore that the slip n' slide was the best money I would spend all summer. I was so wrong. The best money I've spent all summer was on the $59 (big sale!) pool we put up in the back yard last week. It is 10 feet wide so it is big enough for everyone to play in together. We have been spending all day every day in this pool. For some reason, when I throw all my kids in water, they all get along. They don't complain and they have FUN! (And they get worn out and take naps! Yippee!) Swimming is the great equalizer in our home. We've had some wonderful family time in there. Sadie even told me that I was the best mom in the world for getting them a pool. I'll take that!

Calendula Officinalis
Veterinarian Reviewed on June 20, 2012 by Paulina Nelega, RH
Posted in Uncategorized
Calendula Officinalis
Calendula officinalis may also be called pot marigold and it is a flowering plant that is native to southern Europe and is now cultured in parts of northern Europe and in places where there is warm temperate weather in many countries all around the world.
This plant grows up to 80 cm tall and has branched stems with oblong leaves. The flowers are bright yellow with a ray of bright florets that surround a central disc of florets. Flowers may appear the entire year if the surrounding conditions are right. The florets are edible and may be added to salads. Calendula officinalis is also used as a treatment for many different types of skin disorders and also to reduce various types of pains.
History and Origin
The Calendula officinalis is also called ruddles, common marigold, garden marigold, Scottish marigold, and also English marigold. The use of this herb, aside from cooking and salad preparation is extensively for the herb's antiviral properties and anti inflammatory properties as well.
Ancient Uses
The flower of the Calendula officinalis was used during the ancient Greek, Roman and Indian civilization as a fabric dye, an additive in various cuisine dishes, and also for cosmetics. Some of these traditional or ancient uses still persist everywhere in many parts of the world today.
Modern Uses
During modern times, the Calendula officinalis plant was seen as a promising treatment for inflammation due this herb's rather high anti inflammatory properties. This plant is used as a tincture to improve and enhance skin care products that are typically used for acne and many other such skin conditions. It reduces inflammation, controls bleeding and has the ability to soothe tissues as well.
Calendula officinalis is also used as therapeutic treatment to reduce pain of the neck and of the back. It may also help reduce restlessness, headaches, swollen lymph glands and various body pains. This herb is also perfect to cure respiratory infections, coryza and to reduce mucus discharges as well. Calendula officinalis is also known to treat gastrointestinal problems such as nausea, vomiting and heartburn.

I work at Monte Bello. Accordingly, much of my material for this blog has, as its point-of-origin, the mountain.
That said, my colleagues to the north — at Lytton Springs — are wonderful about feeding me images, videos, and stories.
Given that the teachers/tutors/mentors I am most regularly in contact with, however, are at Monte Bello, the resulting peculiarity is that I am often relying on Monte Bello talent to helps expand on Lytton Springs content!
So this time around, I'm going to flip the paradigm; I'm going to share some Monte Bello content, with some Lytton Springs comment!
The subject of "pump-overs" came up recently on our Facebook page, and in the interest of expanding on the topic, here's a bit of perspective from John Olney (our Lytton Springs winemaker), followed by a quick and hopefully informative bit of video footage of a pump-over in action at Monte Bello.
From John:
With few exceptions, all grape juice is clear. All the color and structure in a red wine comes from the grapes and seeds. Therefore, to make red wine, the clear juice must make contact, or macerate, with the skins and seeds. To accomplish this, we carry out pump-overs twice daily. During a pump-over, the juice is pumped from the bottom of the tank over the floating cap of skins and seeds above.
A pump-over serves two functions:
*First, it is the primary means by which phenolic compounds are extracted from the skins and seeds. Phenolic compounds include all those components of color, tannin, and aroma that make red wine red wine.
*Second, pump-overs introduce oxygen – critical to the survival and function of the yeast – into the fermenting must.
Additionally, pump-overs help regulate the temperature of the fermentation by mixing the cooler juice at the bottom of the tank with the cap of skins above where heat is trapped and builds up.
Video of a pump-over in action:
Sam Howles-Banerji began his tenure at Ridge Vineyards as a Harvest Intern. He is now a treasured full-time member of the Monte Bello Retail Sales & Hospitality Staff …
you can take the intern out of the winery
… and t is to Sam we owe a debt of gratitude for the great imagery in this post (and to Eric Baugher, Shun Ishikubo, and the whole Monte Bello winemaking team!).
In addition to the video footage above, dig this remarkable compendium of pump-over pics:

Earthquake hits Russia's Far East
MOSCOW (AP) — A powerful earthquake on Friday hit Russia's Far East with tremors felt as far away as Moscow, about 7,000 kilometers (4,400 miles) west of the epicenter, but no casualties or damage were reported.
Marina Kolomiyets, spokeswoman for Obninsk's seismic station of the Russian Academy of Sciences, told The Associated Press the epicenter was in the Sea of Okhotsk, east of the Russian coast and north of Japan, and was 130 kilometers away from the nearest village. She said the quake registered 8.0 on the Richter scale.
The U.S. Geological Survey reported a magnitude of 8.3. The epicenter was in the Kuril-Kamchatka arc, one of the most seismically active regions in the world.
Emergency agencies in the Far East issued a tsunami warning for Sakhalin and the Kuril islands, but lifted it soon afterwards. Kolomiyets said the earthquake originated 600 kilometers (375 miles) under the sea bed and with the tremors so far down they have the potential to spread quite far.
The Emergency Situations Ministry said they have not recorded any casualties or damage from the quake.
A big aftershock came about nine hours after the first quake. The Russian Academy of Sciences measured it at 7.0, while the U.S. Geological Survey put it at magnitude 6.8.
Russian news agencies reported that residents of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky on the Kamchatka peninsula in the Okhotsk Sea felt the first quake for about five minutes. Residents ran out of the buildings. School children were evacuated.
Tremors from the first quake were felt in Moscow, prompting some people to evacuate from buildings across the city.
Tremors are extremely rare in Moscow, the last recorded instance was in the 1977. The Russian Meteorological Service confirmed these reports but said they did not have immediate information about the magnitude of the tremors of Moscow.
Russian news agencies also cited eyewitnesses reporting strong tremors across Siberia.

- Warm.
- Reminds one of old-time cozy flannel pajamas.
- Still safe to go outside.
- There's nothing to shovel.
- Stunningly pretty.
- And of course...
- Time and perseverance are required to fold, cut, press, and tape up a whole beautiful blizzard.
- Forced to pick one favourite snowflake by family.
- Sudden urges to hug the walls.
- Once up, likely to stay up there for good.
- And, oddly, quite...
Prepare to be distracted.

If it's been years since you've been awake early enough to watch a sunrise. If you're a time-lapse nature junkie. If you know how beautiful the sun-kissed Chicago skyline can be. Doubly so if you don't. These are the first few reasons why watching Craig Shimala's Good Morning Chicago should be mandatory. There are at least 30 others.
Shimala recorded a month's worth of sunrises in his hometown with a Canon 7D and an old Canon Rebel, with shots taken every 5 to 10 seconds then stitched together at 60fps. The result? A beautiful, haunting, inspiring medley of Windy City dawns. [NotCot]


text: wkwied 19 Posted May 22, 2019 Indeed! Now, I'm going to make a request... it may be a bit of a stretch... but.. Would anyone be able to provide me a craft that can SSTO anywhere (from an atmosphere, mind), with warp, and the ability to refuel most places? As is, I'm struggling to create a craft that can fly, and that can generate enough power for warp, and has enough stuff to ISRU in atmosphere and on airless bodies. I can't get all of them down. Any help or an example craft would be splendid. I'm only using the IE mod for parts. I've tried combinations of antimatter reactors with thermal nozzles, areospike zpinch.. The closest I got was using a normal zpinch before it was changed to work poorly in atmospheres, but even then it was a bit underpowered with a trialpha reactor. Many thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cameron University faculty members Dr. Michael Husak, Dr. Abbas Johari and Dr. Justin Walton were honored tonight with awards recognizing their contributions to Cameron's academic community. Husak received the Bhattacharya Endowed Lectureship for Excellence in Research Award, Johari received the Award for Excellence and Innovation in University Service, and Walton received the Award for Excellence and Innovation in Scholarship and Artistic Endeavor in the Education Enterprise.
"Cameron's faculty is made up of dedicated educators who are committed to providing a top quality education," says Dr. John McArthur, Provost. "We are pleased to recognize Dr. Husak, Dr. Johari and Dr. Walton for their outstanding commitment and contributions to student learning, Cameron University, and to the region we serve."
Members of the Cameron faculty nominated their colleagues for the awards. To be eligible, the award recipient must have been employed full-time at Cameron University for at least three years in a position with teaching as the primary responsibility.
Bhattacharya Endowed Lectureship for Excellence in Research Award
The Bhattacharya Endowed Lectureship for Excellence in Research Award was established in January 2008 by Cameron alumnus Sanjit Bhattacharya to advance the quality of research and creative and scholarship activity at Cameron University and in Southwest Oklahoma. Husak is being honored with this award in recognition of the "strong and prolific undergraduate research program" that he has developed, according to the nominator. Husak's approach to research "is built around a collaborative learning model in which the students as well as mentors make new discoveries as collaborative learners." The nomination also included input from several of his students. One of them wrote, "Dr. Husak has been the most influential person during my undergrad education at Cameron University. Since meeting him, I have been doing research every chance I get. He has shown me that I have the ability to pursue my true calling in biology. I went from my freshman year being unsure about what my goals were to my senior year knowing 100 percent that I'm on the right path in my life." The student also relates that his "passion for research and my college experience could never have been possible without Dr. Husak being a part of my life."
"Research is an essential part of my position at Cameron University," Husak says. "It allows me to maintain expertise in my field of specialization, increases my personal experience that allows me to continue to teach lecture and lab topics beyond that of textbooks, and allows me to provide Cameron students the opportunity to observe and contribute to concepts and current topics in biology well beyond the classroom while learning to use modern, interdisciplinary experimental methods and techniques. Specifically, I have made a conscious effort to pursue research that students can participate in to a degree that allows them to learn skills for careers beyond Cameron and develop guided research projects of their own."
A member of the Cameron faculty since 2003, Husak teaches biology, ecology, mammalogy, ornithology and zoology. He is the recipient of the 2011 Hackler Award for Teaching Excellence and was voted Professor of the Year by students of Biological Sciences in 2006. He is also the collection manager and curator of vertebrates for the Cameron University Museum of Zoology. Husak holds bachelor's and master's degrees in biology from Angelo State University. He earned a Ph.D. in biological sciences from Mississippi State University.
Award for Excellence and Innovation in University Service
The Award for Excellence and Innovation in University Service is recognition for outstanding and sustained contributions in the area of university service to the Cameron University community, the region of Southwest Oklahoma, the state of Oklahoma, and/or the field in which the recipient is active. Dr. Abbas Johari, Professor in the Department of Computing and Technology, is the 2013 recipient. The nominator wrote of Johari's service to his department, the university, profession and community "in a very significant way, spending hundreds of hours in this pursuit." The nomination went on to say that, "He has established an incredible service-related record that deserves recognition," reporting that since 2001, Johari has "conducted more than 200 service-learning capstone projects for the City of Lawton and Fort Sill communities." In addition, the nominator stated, "His service on many Cameron University committees indicates his commitment to Cameron." With regard to service in the field of information technology, "He has demonstrated tremendous leadership quality. In his words, he conducts research on teaching so that he can use the results in the classroom and in the service-learning context where possibilities exist. He believes his work is about transferring academic ideas into action."
"I value service-learning as a scholarly activity, yet I have not allowed these academic service activities to weaken my main responsibility - teaching," Johari says. "I strive to provide professional expertise beyond the classroom, as I believe enormous connections exist between the classroom environment, the campus community and the wider regional community."
Johari joined the Cameron faculty in 1991. He holds a Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction (Educational Technology) from Arizona State University, where he also earned a Master of Technology degree. He was the recipient of the 2011 Presidential Award from the Association for Educational Communications and Technology. He is a member of the Faculty Advisory Council of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, a post to which he was appointed in 2011.
Award for Excellence and Innovation in Scholarship and Artistic Endeavor in the Education Enterprise
The Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Artistic Endeavor in the Educational Enterprise is recognition for the role of academic scholarship in the educational process by recognizing a Cameron faculty member who has demonstrated leadership in research, scholarly, or artistic activities that are fundamentally a collaborative effort with undergraduate students. This award honors a CU faculty member, not only for adding to the store of knowledge in their discipline, but also for doing so in a manner that engages CU undergraduate students in the scholarly process. Dr. Justin Walton, Associate Professor of Communication, is the 2013 recipient. He was nominated by one of his colleagues in the Department of Communication, who said of him, "In my first semester here, I was surprised at his ability to engage students and make class exciting and lively. Students told me they got critical thinking skills from this professor, which I believe is the best gift from college. Looking at his approach to teaching in an awakening experience that has led me to develop a new perspective on teaching – a new way of seeing the once familiar."
The nominator also singled out Walton's research efforts by mentioning the numerous research papers that he has had published as well as the number of student research presentations he has mentored.
"One of the greatest sources of professional satisfaction comes from seeing our students do quality work," Walton says. "For the past 12 years, I have sought ways of introducing our undergraduate communication students to the research culture of our field, trying to impress upon them the value, utility and real-world importance of both theoretic and applied inquiry. My instructional objectives are twofold: First, I believe that mentoring students in research helps them become smarter and wiser consumers of the communication research literature and social science research more generally; and second, by extending these opportunities, I genuinely hope that students are provided a pathway for better appreciating and possibly conducting research in their chosen professions."
Walton has been a member of the Cameron faculty since 1999. After receiving a Bachelor of Science degree from Oklahoma State University, he earned a Master of Arts degree from the University of Oklahoma, a Master of Arts in Teaching from Cameron and a Ph.D. in Communication Pedagogy, Instruction & Curriculum from the University of Oklahoma. Walton has presented the Top Faculty Paper at the Oklahoma Speech-Theatre-Communication Association (OSTCA) Conference for the past two years. He is also the past recipient of OSTCA's Outstanding Young College Teacher Award and the Fred Tewell Outstanding College Communication Educator Award.

About Snow White and the Huntsman
In Snow White and the Huntsman, a breathtaking new vision of the legendary tale begins.
Kristen Stewart (the Twilight saga, On the Road) plays the only person in the land fairer than the evil Queen Ravenna (Oscar® winner Charlize Theron of Prometheus, Hancock) who is out to destroy her. But what the wicked ruler never imagined was that the young woman who has escaped her clutches and now threatens her reign has been training in the art of war with a Huntsman named Eric (Chris Hemsworth of Thor, The Avengers) who was dispatched to capture her.
Sam Claflin (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides) accompanies the film's cast of international superstars as William, the young duke long enchanted by Snow White's defiance and innate purity. He is joined in this quest by dwarves accompanying Snow White and the Huntsman on their fantastical journey.

Michael O'Neill admitted Northern Ireland's Tuesday night celebrations were subdued as they discovered they had advanced to the last 16 at Euro 2016 despite losing to Germany in Paris.
News of Turkey's 2-0 win over the Czech Republic, a result which ensured Northern Ireland's spot in the knockout phase, reached O'Neill's squad prior to their flight back to Lyon, which they made wearily after being given the runaround by a German team that had 71 per cent of possession.
It's the players' day off so the last thing they need to see is me, I've hardly seen themMichael O'Neill
The slender 1-0 defeat was enough to see them through, though, and O'Neill was pleased that they did not face a nervous wait on Wednesday night to discover their fate.
"We're delighted that we're not going home," he said.
"After the players put so much in to the game it would have been an interesting 24 hours watching the two groups today coming to a conclusion. Thankfully we didn't have to wait that long.
"We knew of our fate even before we boarded the plane in Paris, it was a little bit unusual because we were following it on mobile phones but it was a good feeling.
"The players were pretty drained after the game so it wasn't euphoric. We were quietly hopeful and confident that we would get the opportunity and that proved to be the case."
Several players spoke of their exhaustion after chasing the shadows of Toni Kroos, Mesut Ozil and Mario Gotze around the Parc des Princes and O'Neill rewarded them with some free time.
"It's the players' day off so the last thing they need to see is me, I've hardly seen them," he revealed.
"They're in their little bit of the hotel, they were around the pool, they've enjoyed a down-day. They've worked very hard. The base has been fantastic, we couldn't have chosen anywhere better than where we are.
"The players have enjoyed the time we've spent together. They were asking for a day off, we relented, we did have something in the schedule but mentally they needed the day off and they will be ready to start work again tomorrow."
Congratulations have flooded in for O'Neill's squad and that began with four-time major winner Rory McIlroy's post-match presence in the dressing room in a George Best t-shirt.
O'Neill has been inundated with messages since qualification was sealed too, receiving so many he apologised to those he has yet to reply to.
"There's been a lot of texts, a lot of messages that have come in, they're all very nice to receive," O'Neill said.
"It's nice that so many people are interested in Northern Ireland, that we're making an impact here.
"It was nice for Rory to come in. He made a special effort to get to that game and I think that's appreciated by the players. They were glad to see him, there were a number of selfies being taken in the dressing room.
"We've had great support from everyone in Northern Ireland, be it high-profile sportsmen or the regular fan on the street and hopefully that can continue."
