We all have our favourite comfort foods, our go-to-crowd-pleaser meals for gatherings and special events, our must-have bits and pieces (pickled herring at Christmas, ugh), and our signature, day-to-day dishes. The signature dishes are generally easy to make, nutritious, and don't take a lot of time to make. The fun meals, the ones that make us stand out in the crowd and bring massive raves from folks who taste them however, are the ones that might just likely be the food that adds to our demise.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not preaching here. I love things slathered in garlic butter, thick sirloin steaks on the bbq, with a good 1/4 inch slab of fat and intense marbling. I love gravy, especially on Yorkshire puddings and mashed potatoes. Pizza. Gyros. Chevapi. Burek. I could go on for hours.
My partner signed up for a bbq challenge at work on Feb 14, and it was her job to create a wicked sampler plate done on the bbq. She chose to make Onion Bombs. These are wicked. TRUST ME!
All you do is take a pound of lean ground beef, a pound of ground pork, a whole bunch of spices (salt, pepper, paprika, Slap Ya Mama (available in hot sauce stores in Ottawa and the outlying area. Some stores, such as Pepper Palace no longer carry it due to price confliction with Amazon) basil, rosemary, Vegeta, cayenne, etc…whatever you have in the house). Hand mix the meats and spices, and roll into meatballs. Then, take a large number of onions (we prefer red), cut the tops and bottoms off, and peel them back to make onion shells. Next, put a meatball between 2 shell halves. Once that is done, wrap each shell in 2-3 pieces of raw bacon, hold together with tooth-pics soaked in water, then slather in bbq sauce and bbq, basting with more sauce.
The result is pure heaven.
The expulsion from the onion bombs however, is disheartening.
Fat. Lots and lots of fat. Sure, fat bleeds out as you cook, but how much remains? Yeah, we all need a percentage of fat in our daily diet, but not like this.
We both had onion bombs after the bbq competition, but it was one each (not a lot of leftovers) for 2 days. We went heavy on whole food/plant based add-ons to go with them, to try and balance out our meat consumption.
We are doing pretty good at maintaining a whole food/plant based diet, but we slip sometimes. Pizza one night, then 2 weeks later, sirloin steaks on the bbq, with lots of fat. It's not an easy process to follow, when we both are over 40, and have those years of mindless consumption behind us, but we try.
If you are interested in eating better, you can check these websites and videos out. They really do give wicked alternatives to meat. Trust me on this…..I liked veggies before, but wasn't a fan of the "salad with dinner" bullshit options. Faux tuna salad made with cashews? Wicked!
Avocado and tomato on toast for breakfast? Frigging brilliant!
Vegan Mac n' Cheese? Not too shabby (I went too heavy with the sauce). No picture for this one, as the picture and reality do not equate. The taste however, is pretty damn good.
Lentil Bolognese with sweet potato pasta? Heaven!!! (I also added tofu "spaghetti". Wow. Yum).
Vegan/Paleo potato skins? Hell, yes! (i'm becoming a fan of sweet potato, since there is no maple syrup in this).
BBQ cauliflower salad with ranch dressing? Hell, even my partner loved this!
So, yeah…..feeling sluggish and bloated? Want to do something for your body. Give them a shot.
If you want to learn more, and always take everything with a grain of salt, you can check out these videos, usually found on Netflix or YouTube:
A couple of websites with wicked and FREE recipes:
Don't get me wrong, we will continue to bbq meat and make beef jerky in the dehydrator; albeit on a much smaller level, but we are evermore being mindful of what we as humans consume, and the damage it does to the planet as a whole, and ourselves.
Consume wisely.

A. There are at the least two good arguments for eating natural: fewer pesticides and extra vitamins Let's begin with pesticides. Bee well being: Neonicotinoid and pyrethroid, two pesticides forbidden by USDA natural requirements, have been tagged as probably dangerous to bee colony well being and a potential contributing factor in colony collapse disorder 6 However, since Spinosad insecticides are both accredited for and used by natural farms, organic farms may additionally be contributing to CCD.
Fact: This could have been true of processed meals at one time—take crackers or pretzels for instance—however this stereotype is as outdated because the hippie connotations that follow it. Today many natural snack foods style the same as their typical counterparts, while most people agree that fresh, regionally grown natural produce does not compare to the choice.
Taking the straightforward step of choosing some organics to incorporate in your weight-reduction plan is a vital one in every of taking control over what's doubtlessly affecting your health; while you'll still be surrounded by the chemical load of our industrial age, you take constructive action to assist your self and to encourage natural growers at the similar time.
Now, I am not saying that going completely natural is the reply to all digestive or well being illnesses and, in actual fact, there could be different contributing elements in your case, you probably have any at all, nonetheless, once you read and be taught more in regards to the variations, you may then determine for your self if you want to give organics a attempt.
Usually introducing natural meals to your physique and your pocket ebook is an effective place to start out; for those who see one thing you've by no means had earlier than in natural form, take into account expanding your horizons and buy it. By taking one step at a time and a trial-and-error approach, you'll be able to have enjoyable with this new food plan thought which will help in making the transition a seamless one.

Features of effective professional learning: a case study of the implementation of a system-based professional learning model
Publication Date
Publication Details
Labone, E. M & Long, JA. (2016). Features of effective professional learning: a case study of the implementation of a system-based professional learning model. Professional Development in Education,42(1), 54-77. United Kingdom: Routledge. Retrieved from https://doi.org/10.1080/19415257.2014.948689
The impact of quality teaching on student learning has led to an increased focus on professional learning to support and improve teacher practice. Review of the literature on effective professional learning suggests six elements that support sustained change in teacher practice; namely, focus, learning components, feedback, collaborative practices, temporal elements and coherence. While these practices have been drawn from reviews of studies of effective professional learning, there has been little attempt to validate the effectiveness of collective implementation of these elements in broad-based professional learning. To address this, this study assesses the validity of these elements in a system-based professional learning programme implemented in Diocesan schools in Australia. The paper first discusses the key practices for effective professional learning within these six elements, and then reports on case studies of three Catholic schools that have implemented the system-based professional learning programme. The research maps the implementation strategies of these three schools against the key practices in the six elements. The findings support the importance of the presence of all six elements in effective implementation but also suggest that the principal's commitment to professional learning is a pivotal factor in sustaining changed practices.

Italian Olive Salad, olive oil based, not a tapenade but sliced in larger pieces. Originally made for the muffaletta sandwich, which originated in New Orleans. Great over salads, mixed with tuna or chopped eggs instead of mayo. Great in omelets, on pizza or hot or cold pasta and also on bruschetta, in a wrap and perfect on sandwiches.

Our factory, which turns out huge volumes of this compound, may yield a material that is just a few percentile (maybe 4% or 5%) different in its purity and potency. That may equate to a requirement of 6 to 8 times more the dose; thus, if you've got a product that's out there under Brand X, Y, or Z; even though it comes from the same factory, you will have to take at least six times the dose to rival the efficacy of Transfer Point.
There are a lot of companies out there getting the second cut, the third cut, the fourth cut, or fifth cut or whatever; they may still outperform a lot of products but they still do no hold a candle to the transfer point brand. (AJ)
It is important. Most of all, you get more product for your bucks if you have it pure, because one question is "how much is there." If you say 100 mg, 100 mg of 50% pure glucan is a different amount than 80% pure. Also we have to imagine that the glucan, when we take it from the yeast cell wall, it's major function in the cell wall is basically to make it stronger, it is a little bit like the bars in concrete.
If we take it out, we try to get only the bars but bunches of concrete are still there if you have only 50% or 60% of purified glucan, there is still a lot of concrete around. The cells, with all the garbage around cannot really recognize glucan inside. If you have pieces of cell wall, you do not the purified product. It's not recognized by the cells, it doesn't bind right to the cell membrane and it doesn't do what it is supposed to do.
No, it's kind of type generally thinking, which almost everybody starts to think. We did a lot of studies trying to either prove it or disprove it and it just doesn't work. If you have bad glucan or low quality glucan, it doesn't matter how much you take. You can take a by the spoonful and you still won't get the type of reaction of the high quality glucan.

The save files are usually blank when I boot it up. Occasionally a save will be there, but not for longer for a day and they're only there like 50% of the time.link470 wrote:What's it doing? Does the Gameboy Color just restart over and over again after displaying the boot screen? If it does, I had that happen to my copy too, and I turned the GBC off for a bit, and then turned it on later after I had the game in it for awhile. When I turned it on later, it did the same thing once or twice, and then booted into the game, but it would restart after selecting my old save file and playing for a couple seconds. Then I'd loop the process a bit and get further each time, and eventually, it didn't restart at all. I went through the whole game without it restarting on me once.Monkey wrote:I recently found that my battery is dead for Link's Awakening.
Or maybe your game just fails to save now?
That looping reboot happened to my copy of Pokemon blue on a gameboy, but it would freeze after pressing start on the start screen on GBA. I opened it up, disconnected/reconnected the battery and for some reason, it then would boot up, but certain graphics are garbled (all the bigger ones like professor oak at the beginning and in-battle/start screen pokemon) and it won't load saves. LeafGreen isn't quite the same and I did play Blue semi-regularly throughout the cartridge's life. I might have to replace that one.

SAP's customer base provides it incredibly broad reach into some of the worlds largest corporations, as it offers enterprise-scale platforms to deliver increasingly granular levels of information on the operational systems of medium- size to multi-national businesses. Given its reach and relationships with such a broad swath of corporations around the world, SAP is well positioned to help its clients manage their energy and carbon footprint at an enterprise-wide level, and to help unlock areas of significant reduction potential. While SAPs leadership has seemingly recognized both the environmental threat and the business opportunities at stake in the climate debate, the company needs to aggressively covert its corporate client base into new customers for its climate related enterprise management software and show case studies of how this helps major customers cut emissions.
SAP scores for an overview of its climate solutions on its websites and for case studies of actual implementation, but the company's case studies are much less detailed than those provided by other companies.
SAP scores six points for progress on cutting its own emissions and having a 51 percent emissions reduction target from 2007 levels by 2020. SAP could improve its score by setting a strong 2012 reduction target. SAP has no public target for boosting additional renewable energy use.
SAP, like many IT companies, signed on to the Copenhagen Communique. Former SAP CEO Léo Apotheker made several speeches and interviews before and after Copenhagen, but SAP's new corporate leadership needs to show stronger company-wide support for climate regulation.

The right type of funding can play a vital role in helping your business reach its potential. If your lending application is declined, we will work with UK Finance to pursue any raised appeals.
If your application is declined, contact your relationship manager or usual adviser and tell them you wish to appeal. You need to appeal within 30 calendar days of the date of the decline letter.
Alternatively, complete our online appeal form.
You also have the right to appeal if you're unhappy with the conditions relating to agreed lending; such as the need to provide security, regular financial trading information or up-to-date property valuations.
Appeals can only be submitted before your business draws down on its credit facility. The proposed costs of agreed lending cannot be appealed, such as interest rates, fees and costs, or the standard terms and conditions. An appeal cannot be made after funds have been drawn down.
We'll write to your business to confirm the appeal has been received and what you can expect to happen next.
The appeal will be reviewed by a specialist in the lending appeals team. This team is not involved in the original lending application process
For upheld appeals, your relationship manager will process the lending application. Your business will also receive a goodwill payment of £150 to recognise the successful appeal.
If the appeal is not upheld, your relationship manager will continue to work with your business to present a stronger lending application in the future, and recommend support and guidance.
You can appeal the declined decision and have it independently reviewed by a specialist in our lending appeals team. You also have the right to appeal conditions relating to the requested lending, but not the proposed costs of lending, such as interest rates, fees and costs, or the standard terms and conditions.
Go to the Better Business Finance website for more information about the appeals process.
You can appeal any business borrowing facility such as loans, overdrafts, commercial mortgages, Credit Cards and Charge Cards, invoice financing, asset finance and trade finance.
You can appeal following any formally declined lending decision. An application is considered formal when we receive the correct information that enables us to make a decision, in line with the finance application checklist.
If your appeal is submitted relating to lending condition(s), this could delay how long it takes to put in place the lending facility; however, we aim to deal with 90 per cent of all appeals within 30 days of receipt.
Requesting an appeal does not guarantee a decline decision will be overturned.
Your business, or its intermediary, have 30 calendar days from the date of the decline letter to appeal our decision. We have a 30-day maximum because the information provided at the time of the original application can become outdated. In this situation, talk to your relationship manager about a new application.
If you wish to appeal any of the conditions relating to requested lending, you can do so before signing the lending documentation. You cannot submit appeals if they relate to specific lending conditions after your business draws down on the lending facility.
This needs to be discussed with your relationship manager. If you are still unhappy about how your enquiry has been dealt with, then you have the right to pursue a formal complaint.
Go to our customer support section for more on complaints procedures.
An appeal is a request to review a declined decision following a formal lending application or where your business is unhappy with the lending conditions associated with an offer.
If we decline your lending application, your business can have the decision independently reviewed by another experienced lender within Lloyds Bank.
Any issues outside the appeals process should be pursued as a complaint through the formal complaints process.
Yes. However, this may require a full copy of the credit file from a credit reference agency. We need to see proof that an error has occurred or that the circumstances of the adverse information were exceptional. Agencies hold information that helps lenders establish individuals' credit record.
Your business is entitled to see all the information any credit agency holds on it. You can access this information by writing to: Experian Limited, Consumer Help Service, PO Box 8000, Nottingham NG80 7WF. For fee details go to www.experian.co.ukVisit the Experian website. or call 0344 481 0800Call telephone number 0344 481 0800.
You can appeal if you believe we have not taken into account all of your circumstances or, following a discussion with your relationship manager, you feel your application should have been approved. We may contact your business to clarify any queries that may arise from the review or to ask for extra information.
If your business circumstances have changed significantly since the first application and you would prefer to re-apply, we would be happy to consider a new application.
No. It's up to your business to raise the matter for appeal. Our relationship managers often work with credit specialists to ensure they have correctly assessed applications. Complicated lending requests are often reviewed by more than one credit specialist to ensure your application has been fully considered.
No. You can only appeal a declined decision following a formal application.
Our relationship managers are skilled in assessing whether we have the right financial products for your business. They can work with you to present a stronger lending proposition in the future and, if necessary, talk to you about alternative sources of finance and other support.
We will write to inform you about the outcome of your appeal. If your business is happy for us to proceed, your relationship manager will continue to process your application.
We will write to your business confirming the outcome of your appeal. If circumstances have changed significantly since the time of your original application, we would be happy to consider a new application.
If this is not the case, we'll be happy to discuss how we can work together to present a stronger lending proposition in the future.
Lloyds Bank adheres fully to the Standards of Lending Practice. To ensure our decisions are fair and correct, we are monitored by an independent external reviewer.
The external reviewer provides an independent assessment of the appeals process. They won't review individual lending decisions or accept appeals directly from customers in the event of a complaint.
To ensure banks have the correct processes to handle appeals fairly and effectively themselves, the independent external reviewer publishes an annual report, detailing how banks are performing.
The Lending Standards Board monitors and enforces the Standards of Lending Practice and ensures participating banks provide a fair deal to their personal and business customers.

By Barry Duchan
Editor's Note: This piece was originally published on May 3, 2007. - M.S.
On yesterday's SNY broadcast of the Mets-Marlins games, as an extension to a trivia question, Keith Hernandez and Gary Cohen discussed how the long history of the Mets should be celebrated at the new CitiField. Keith said how he'd like to see pictures of Bobby Klaus (who, it was pointed out, had the longest hitless streak at Shea Stadium) and Choo Choo Coleman (who was just legendary for no apparent reason) as well as many of the other Mets who were there and played a part in the early Mets' history. I was happy to hear Keith mention names like Joe Christopher and Jerry Buchek.
For those of you who visit [Barry's Metscentric blog] frequently, you can see why I was so glad to hear those comments. I have tried to paint a picture of the early pre-'69 Mets always struggling to build a team by promoting players who had a big year in the minor leagues, always trying to trade for young players who could develop into stars, mostly without success, and just generally taking chances on players who had failed elsewhere in the hope that by giving enough players the chance to succeed, the cream would rise to the top and eventually the Mets would develop into contenders.
It didn't quite work out that way of course, as the Mets went from ninth place to a World Championship in one year, 1969, a year that would change the course of Mets' history forever.
We have heard how CitiField will memorialize and pay tribute to Jackie Robinson and how parts of its structure pay homage to Ebbets Field, probably because Fred Wilpon was a Dodger fan as a kid. But this is not the new Dodger Stadium, it is not a multi-purpose structure for all New York teams, it will be the new home of the Mets, and I would hope that an area can be devoted to celebrating the history of the Mets, which doesn't jump directly from Casey Stengel to Tom Seaver. I'm sure I'm not the only life-long Mets fan who didn't care a bit about the Brooklyn Dodgers, especially considering the first Mets teams were led by ex-Yankees Weiss and Stengel, the team's roots were hardly sprung from the Dodgers. I have no nostalgia for Brooklyn, but plenty for Queens.
Sometimes when I write about players like Dennis Musgraves, Darell Sutherland, Danny Napoleon or Greg Goossen, I wonder if anyone really cares. But they were an important part of Mets' history. They were among the great prospects that were going to lead this team to glory, and in their day, they were among the reasons to believe that this downtrodden team would begin a road to success. I am just trying to keep their memories alive, but it would be so much more impressive if Mets' ownership would make an attempt to do the same, with a gallery devoted to every year in Mets' history on display when CitiField opens its doors.
Yes, do not forget Bill Shea and Casey Stengel. But why not consider installing video display terminals that would let fans view pictures and statistics of EVERY Met player, manager, and coach by season, or alphabetically, with more elaborate video entries for 100 or so of the most prominent ones, including not only latter-day stars like Hernandez, Piazza, and Strawberry, but early ones like Thomas, Hunt, and Jackson ? That would make CitiField worth the trip for me.
About Barry Duchan: I've been following the Mets since 1962. Have to admit I was a Yankee fan as a kid, but I found it to be so much more interesting to see how a young team could build itself up rather than following a team where the season didn't really begin until October. I remember them all - Casey, Marv, ChooChoo, Don Bosch, The Stork, etc. As the years went on, I became more and more of a Mets fan, and a Yankee hater once Steinbrenner and Billy Martin entered the picture.

Our range of Video equipment covers Vision Mixers/Scalers & Video Converters
Video to many is something of a 'dark-art'. Many products are just plain fickle! If you are holding an event where you don't know exactly what you are processing then there are two magical words Multi-Format. If the device doesn't say Multi-Format then beware, it will be fixed format and you need to choose carefully.
If the unit you require is Multi-Format then most of the risk is removed, it means you can plug in a range of differently formatted inputs and normalise to a common output. So, if you are processing a Composite Video feed, a 720p camera, a 1080i camera and a 1080p data source from a laptop, the Roland Multi-Format device will allow you to manage the output of the vision mixer to match your projector of screen without interfering or requiring any adjustment to the input sources. Your Video problem is solved with Multi-Format.
Converters mean you can mix video and data or convert interlaced to progressive or manage resolution transfer. Then comes the thorny issue of embedding or de-embedding the audio from HDMI or SDI transmission - the Converter will help you do this. Need advice? Just call us on 0845 567 5679 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com with your details and your questions and we will get back to you, promptly!

You know when something happens and you just don't understand why? It happens to all of us. There are large scale things (global disasters) and small scale things, like a friend being upset with you, but you have no clue as to what happened and why. These things occur, and not always with a clear explanation. Okay, so, we've all been perplexed before, but we either accept that things are confusing or we understand that we don't have all of the answers.
So how does this tie in with Danielle? I legitimately don't think she understands why things went south with Mohamed. While it's clear as day to us television viewers, I really don't believe that she sees it. As an outside observer, we see the following:
- Mohamed's obvious lack of interest in Danielle from the start
- The warning signs Mohamed displayed with each passing episode
- A man who clearly wanted a life that wasn't what he'd get in small town America
- Danielle not being truthful with Mohamed about finances and other things
- A recipe for disaster
What concerned me the most about the Happily Ever After? episode is Danielle still wanting to find and work things out with Mohamed because she loves him. That, tied with a lack of self awareness, is problematic. First and foremost, the love issue - even if she does love Mohamed, he doesn't love her. Even if he truly did love her at first and want to try a true relationship, that is clearly no longer the case. He walked out and wants to move to another state, for goodness sake. He's not willing to try. No amount of love on Danielle's part can fix Mohamed's indifference, and (mildly) in his defense, Danielle did lie to him about finances and her stability. Money can break many relationships, let alone those with the stress of a K-1 visa.
So, my defense of Danielle is this - I truly don't think she understands what happened, and I truly don't think she knows better than to want Mohamed back, thinking she can recreate her happily ever after. I think there's really the "If only he'd talk to me, then we could make it work!" mentality in her mind, whereas the sad reality is that nothing is going to save this relationship.
Oh yeah, and there's also a strong lack of accountability, like blaming Mohamed for their cable being turned off. Sure, the bills were put in his name, but as a person not living in the household, I see no reason why Mohamed would pay the bills. So is he out to ruin the family? No. He's out to save himself.
This relationship draws strong parallels to relationship between this season's Nicole and Azan. I don't mean their physical characteristics, I mean the codependency and insecurity displayed by Nicole. Nicole, like Danielle, clearly suffers from low self esteem, and seems to have a hard time seeing beyond herself. The difference is that Nicole is young, and I think she may look back at this and have a different perspective, whereas I think Nicole's is locked where it is.
In the most recent episode, Nicole displayed some warning signs that show that she needs a therapist more than a foreign romance:
- She announced, giddily, on camera, that she and Azan had sex. He looked horrified, as he's from a conservative nation and that's not something that he was comfortable announcing on camera.
- When Azan mentioned healthy eating and exercise, Nicole looked like she'd burst into tears as she said, "You'd want me to change?" We all have things that our partners may like us to change - giving vegetables and exercise a chance isn't so bad. She did, after all, blatantly state that she doesn't like vegetables, and vegetables are important for the sake of your health.
- Nicole seemed to do no research on Morocco before going, and blamed Azan for pushing her away in public when public displays of affection are not widely accepted in Moroccan culture (at least per the show's explanation).
- She left her daughter for five weeks - FIVE WEEKS - to chase a foreign romance. Is that really okay?

While Montana has a rich tradition of abundant wild places and wildlife, this has sadly not been true for wild bison.
As bison enter the state of Montana, they fall under the lethal jurisdiction of the Department of Livestock, due to Montana Law 81-2-120, which needs to be repealed.
There has never been a documented case of naturally occurring wild bison to cattle transmission of brucellosis, ever. Even when cattle were run next to bison for nearly 50 years now, in Jackson Hole, WY. Cattle ranchers there even wrote a letter to then Pres. Clinton, protesting APHIS trying to get control over the wildlife and the ramifications it would have on the bison and elk.
Now that APHIS and DOL know that it has actually been the elk responsible for some of the infections in MT (as well as the other GYA states of WY and ID), APHIS and MT DOL are targeting the elk, but not letting loose of their grasp of the bison. Because, this is not really about the small transmission risk of brucellosis. This is really about grass and how to market those grass fed cattle.Removing the wildlife competing ungulates from the landscape, even off of public lands where they have the priority, is greed, plain and simple. Then they have to sell the public and international buyers why they should buy this beef - "Ours is Brucellosis Class Free."
Science has been dismissed in these matters, instead politics, greedy, special interest politics at that, have instead ruled our government and compromised our wildlife management agency: Fish, Wildlife & Parks, through our governor, via APHIS/DOL with the brucellosis eradication agenda.
We need to hold our government accountable to the public, hold them accountable to the science and get those 'No Science Monkeys' out of our government.

Loan Company Wonga Slammed For Targeting Students
The National Union of Students (NUS) has labelled short-term loan company Wonga as 'incredibly irresponsible' after the company targeted students for their high interest loans with an APR of 4214%.
Wonga regularly advertises its loans on television pitching them as 'payday loans'. However, the company have today withdrawn the page citing 'misunderstandings' as the reason for the controversy.
The BBC reports that Wonga have stated that they will continue to accept loan applications from students in work. The NUS have slammed the company for encouraging students to 'live beyond their means.'
The controversy was sparked after Martin Lewis of moneysavingexpert.com posted the page from Wonga's website on Twitter. Outraged users described the company as 'morally bankrupt' branding the move 'disgusting'.
Wonga pitched their short-term loan as the perfect solution to buying flights to the Canary Islands for a mates holiday if you do not have the money available to pay for it.
Students have today been urged to avoid the temptation of instant cash and to consider the repayments that will need to be made. 4214% is representative of the annual interest rate but the company still offers an outrageous interest rate when compared with regular student loans which come with a rate of 1.5%.
Here at Save the Student! we stress that it is important not to be tempted into taking out loans of this sort. They are deceiving and can be financially crippling for people in full-time work as well as students. Even though Wonga have taken down the page and apologised, we suggest that nobody should use Wonga now or at any point in the future. If you are short of cash and need ways to bring in extra money then check out our student money makers.

"Satisfied," declared the little bottle of almond milk I sampled recently at Christopher's Kitchen, the plant-based eatery that has upped the hip factor in Palm Beach Gardens.
This was no ordinary almond milk (or "Mylk," as they call it), but one made fresh that morning and infused with the most subtle notes of cardamom and cinnamon, vanilla and dates. A touch of sea salt balances the sip. And, yes, "satisfied" is a spot-on name for a drink that's satiating and not too sweet.
This is the plant-based artistry of chef/owner Chris Slawson, who turns cashews into decadent cream (and turns that into heavenly gelato) and macadamias into rich ricotta (for topping pizza).
Satisfaction in nut milk form comes at a steep price: That adorable bottle costs $12.50. As do Satistied's sisters: Divine (Brazil nuts, coconut water, vanilla, dates, cinnamon, sea salt), Dream (strawberries, almonds, dates, vanilla, cinnamon, sea salt), Strength (almonds, cucumber, dates, chlorophyll, cinnamon, vanilla, sea salt) and Decadent (cacao, Brazil nuts, coconut water, vanilla, dates, cinnamon, sea salt).
But, hey, so does pinot noir and we order it anyway.
So while you may find other nutty ways to enjoy almonds today, National Almond Day, I will recall this most satisfying, cardamom-accented sip.
Where to indulge your almond milk craving:
Christopher's Kitchen: 4783 PGA Blvd. (at Midtown plaza), Palm Beach Gardens; 561-318-6191; ChristophersKitchenFL.com
Apura Juicery & Coffeehouse: Pure almond milk is sold alone, in coffees and smoothies, at 22191 Powerline Rd., # 20-B, Boca Raton; 561-430-3596
Alchemy Juice Co.: Check out Alchemy's "Protect" blend of almond milk, dates and vanilla, at 509 Clematis St. (at Subculture Coffee), West Palm Beach; 561-889-6294; soon in Delray Beach

Don't be a Duck !
Since 2018, websites without an SSL Certificate now display a "Not Secure" warning in the address bar, which tends to scare off potential clients and customers.
WordPress Website Maintenance – a crucial part of running your website that is often overlooked and sometimes even avoided.
However, in order for your WordPress website to run smoothly while side-stepping security risks, maintaining your website should be as important to you as your business itself.
The initial phase of protecting the organization is to ensure the right tools are put into place and that employees fully understand the security policy. The policy itself is also subject to change as the threat vs security environment changes.
The purpose of a good CMS is to allow its users to focus on what the visitors to the website will see and consume. Therefore, it seldom requires any coding in order to create or update content, adding to the user-friendliness of such a system.
We've said it before and we'll say it again, social media marketing must be done properly for it to be genuinely effective and more importantly, sustainable.
So before you hand your Company's Social Network pages to your wife's unemployed cousin (Who spends lank time on Instagram, my bra), get the right people for the job.
Search engine optimization is one of the most important requirements for every online business. However, you may be wondering, "What will SEO achieve for my business?".
Managing expectations is an important component of sketching a realistic outcome for clients and avoiding disappointment.
We cannot stress enough the importance of having a website for your small business. Now, you might be wondering, "Do I need a website if I have a Facebook Page?"
The answer is yes!
The pic says it all. So enslaved have people become to mobile connected devices that we can be forgiven for thinking the zombie apocalypse has already come.
How then does your website survive, let alone perform, in this highly personal yet entirely pre-occupied digital wasteland?
Fitness strategies for grabbing the attention of the walking dead.
The question 'Who is on the internet?' a few years ago was pretty simple to answer; it was the youth, tech freaks in the industry and maybe the odd cool parent trying to spy on their child.
But now with new online innovations such as Facebook, Pinterest, Kindle, and above all Mobile devices such as Smart Phones and Tablets, the internet has become more accessible and useful to people of all ages.
Any web design company that does not offer website marketing as the primary aim of website development has clearly missed the point.
The modern company website has to facilitate all marketing activities: lead generation, targeted email campaigns, content marketing, news bookmarking, eCommerce sales & catalogues, CRM, social media, customer engagement and a host of other functions...

Builders: The Persevering Generationseries: Preach It, Teach It Pastor Sermons
We are inspired to persevere, to protect each other and to live with strong values and strong faith from the builder generation. From them, we can be inspired to press on in our walk with God and bring in the Kingdom. In a relativistic society, builders struggle with the absence of absolute truth and values. Jesus prayed for us to be one body in Christ. So as we celebrate each generation's uniqueness, we must serve together in unity and love.

As visitors enter the store, it appears almost as an enchanted palace set in a rationalist building. The architect, Antonino Cardillo, has taken inspiration from grand and expressive spaces such as the royal stable of Meknes or the mosque of Cordoba.
The design incorporates a dense succession of parallel arches which define the perspective. The arch has been chosen due to its iconic status, an archetype of construction and protection, and also because of its dominance within Italian Architectural History.
The arch has been rediscovered in this work, focusing on its double syntactic value, simultaneously providing a connection between spaces and also acting as a separating element. The design incorporates a delicate balance of pearlescent greys, light mauve greens, intense magenta, crystalline marbles into its material palette.
The walls are all pierced by this sequence of the arches which creates a series of spaces, exhibition areas, which have technological, lighting and climate control designs. Set in a metre square grid, each arched aperture articulates each space, giving it a multiplicity of uses: walkway; alcove for mannequins; displays; frontal and lateral hanging rail.
Cardillo's design has focused on the use of lights to define each of the spaces. Where ceilings once held downwards-facing lights, instead they have been completely removed and are located in the lower half of the space. The blurred reflections record the movement beneath.
On the first floor a series of lights radiates upwards from the interrupted walls of the rooms. Other light is emitted and articulated by the displays inside the alcoves which incorporate LED lights above and below the floors, giving them prominence within the room. This lighting design enables the coloured greys of the architecture to be contrasted the changing colours of the clothes and accessories.

Discuss medical and commercial use of gene transfer and gene modification.
Solution Preview
Genetic transfer and gene modification has a wide scope of applications in industry.
In the food industry, genetic modification is used in agriculture to produce crops that are more resiliant and larger. In addition, genetic manipulation has been used to confer pesticide resistance to plants, so that one can spray crops with a large dose of pesticide to kill pests without harm to the plant that is to be cultivated. This for example is a way to fend off weeds from taking over ...

Sheep Wool Insulation Comes To America
Image credit Oregon Shepherd
It is common in New Zealand and a luxury in the UK, but now sheep wool insulation has come to America, via Oregon Shepherd. There is a lot to love about this stuff; "This all-natural and inherently fire-retardant material is non-toxic, resists mold growth, is vermin resistant and is acoustically superior." After all, sheep know a thing or two about keeping warm.
"Our Sheep Make it All Possible And We Take Pride in Keeping Them Well Cared For!"
The company lists a number of significant benefits:
The unique advantage of wool as an insulator is the NATURE of the fiber.
- It absorbs and desorbs moisture, it heats and cools as this process takes place. Wool therefore can absorb moisture in your house, preventing condensation.
- It has plastic memory, not that there is any plastic in wool, but rather that technical description is used to explain the "crimp"; the ability to retain the shape it was in before it left the sheep.
- The energy required to produce our insulation is less than 10% of that required to produce traditional insulation materials.
- Wool can absorb and breakdown indoor air pollutants such as formaldehyde, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide.
- Wool is a sustainable and renewable resource; every year our sheep grow a new crop.
- Wool is completely recyclable; at the end of its life as insulation it can be remanufactured, reused, or biodegraded.
- Wool is an excellent absorbtion medium of sound waves; its inherent qualities provide much more acoustic insulation than traditional insulation in similar applications.
- While wool is generally fire resistant, our wool is treated with a 100% natural solution of organic materials that provide unequaled fire and vermin resistance. These materials are bonded chemically to the wool fiber, not merely "glued on" as in most other insulation products.
Installation by spraying
I am always a bit worried about those additives, but Alex Wilson of BuildingGreen looked at the stuff last year and explains what they have done:
Oregon Shepherd enhances wool's inherent fire-retardant properties with a borate additive. The company uses a proprietary formulation using a natural protein to covalently bond the borate compound to the wool fibers. The material has been tested to ASTM E-84, E-1496, and C-518 standards, and passes with flying colors, according to Workman.
Along with increasing the material's fire resistance, the borate provides insect resistance--eliminating concern about moth infestations, for example.
He concludes that " The product looks like a winner!"
Costs appear to be about twice that of fiberglass, slightly higher than cellulose and competitive with cotton. This might be the perfect insulation for the hypersensitive.

4 Ways to Take Yoga Off the Mat & Into Your Heart
All of us reading this article have probably practiced yoga, right? We have moved through practice with our bodies, minds, and hearts. We have felt the stretch, the sweat, and the strength. The asanas of this physical yoga practice are beautiful and help us to loosen our bodies, clear our minds, and become healthier. But, are we leaving our yoga on our mat, or are we really practicing? Sure, we can walk into the studio, do the chant, practice, and "Namaste" at the end, but is that it?
Yoga is more than physical; here are some ways we all can begin to take our yoga off our mats and into our lives…
1. Patience: "Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Is patience a part of your life, or are you constantly getting frustrated with traffic, your co-workers, or your friends, because they aren't moving on "your schedule?" Learning to be patient is an important part of self evolution, and is not only beneficial for keeping your own mind calm and collected but helps you to interact with others in a more positive way. True patience comes with the knowledge and trust that beauty takes time.
2. Kindness: "A part of kindness consists in loving people more than they deserve." - Joseph Joubert
No matter where we go in our lives, we will eventually meet up with people who are unkind to us. It's gonna happen. And, it is always easier to be snippy right back at the person who was mean to you; it is much harder to show them kindness. But meanness is like a never-ending circle: if you are mean to that person who was unkind to you, all you are doing is spreading more hate. But, if you are kind to that person, it stops that hate in its tracks. Choose kindness, especially when it's difficult, and your heart will thank you.
3. Tolerance: "Always try to maintain complete tolerance and always make an effort to give people more than they expect." - Scott Hamilton
There will always be those who disagree with you, and there will always be those who are doing the complete opposite of what you are doing. For those people, we must try to find our tolerance. Tolerance is hard, especially when you fervently believe the complete opposite from someone else. But we will never be granted tolerance if we don't first show it to others. So, next time you find yourself wanting to preach or scold someone for their beliefs, take a moment and decide to act with tolerance. Perhaps they will show you the same.
4. It's Practice: "An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching." - Mahatma Gandhi
One thing I think we sometimes forget is that we are not "mastering" yoga. More handstands, more coconut milk, and less cuss words won't make you the master. This yoga practice is just that… a practice. What a blessing! We don't have to worry ourselves silly by our mistakes; we don't have to run as fast as we can hoping to become the master. All we need to do is to act in each moment with a bit more patience, a little more kindness, and some more tolerance. Keeping in mind that no one is perfect, learning from our own mistakes, and letting our yoga seep off of our mats and into our hearts.
Yoga is more than the movement of your body; yoga is a journey that takes its path through your entire life if you let it…

Friends--We All Need Friends
Children's Song About Friendship
Dianne Baker
This song is available on Dianne Baker's Friendship Songs
Friends -- we all need friends.
Friends are a treasure you find now and then
Friends are worth more than their weight in gold--
And that's a lot of money -- so I've been told!!
Friends are whom you walk with--friends are whom you talk with--
Friends are whom you tell your secrets to--
Friends are whom you share your special hideaway with--
And they will help you make your dreams come true!
Friends are whom you dream with--friends are whom you scheme with--
Friends are whom you tell your troubles to
If you have a bad day--nothing seems to go right
Just look around--your friend will be-side you
Final Chorus and Verse simultaneously.
Friends are whom you sign with...friends are whom you cry with.
Friends___________________we all_______need_____friends___
Friends will lift your spirits when you're down
Friends are a treasure we find now and then__
(All Together:)
Friends are worth more than their weight in gold
And that's a lot of money so I've been told…..so I've been told____.
