A whole host of good oceanic adjectives come to mind when trying to describe Vallenfyre's sound, like "roiling," "crashing," "deep," or "furious." Although these UK extreme metal stalwarts don't play music particularly themed towards deep bodies of water in the same way as, say, The Ocean, their sound burbles and hisses in a similar manner to some forgotten Cambrian trench, oozing and rushing in various degrees through briny swill and hot gas. Fear Those Who Fear Him, the third outing from Vallenfyre, doesn't do much to change this – no big stylistic shift in trajectory has occurred in the three years since Splinters – but hey, when you've got a formula that routinely kicks this much ass, is there any reason to mess with it?
Describing Vallenfyre's genre trappings is tougher than describing the music itself; the band likes to play around with expectations and actively resists a snug categorization. Nevertheless, the closest genre to them is probably death metal: there's certainly more than a hint of the chunky sledgehammer riffing that categorizes bands like Obituary and Entombed, but it's tempered and tempered hard by a grindcore ethos that sees the group verging almost on Nails territory at times. Shorter tracks like "Messiah" and "Nihilist" show this off: fragments of blistering, heated audio-shrapnel tear into the listener and dig deep.
This is all well and good, and their take on the new wave of death-metal-meets-grindcore of the aforementioned Nails as well as Gatecreeper and Crypt Rot certainly satisfies, but when Vallenfyre gets really special is when they decide to take it a little slower. Evoking a miserable, blighted nihilism filtered through some Eldritch oceanic monolith and filtered again through an HM-2 pedal cranked all the way up, the glacial pace at which Vallenfyre moves on the three five-plus-minute tracks scattered across Fear Those Who Fear Him are easily their best work. A glacial pace allows the guitars to drill far deeper into the brain than they would otherwise be able to do, and the somehow-lethargic double bass pedal keeps the music well paced and consistently bludgeoning. Death-doom is probably the proper term, but these guys don't sound like any other death-doom band out there, courtesy of the grindcore-esque guitar tone and brutally sharp production.
Like I said above, this is a kickass formula. Vallenfyre really doesn't miss a beat on this record, and at just under 40 minutes they neither leave the listener unsatisfied nor overstay their welcome. For all intents and purposes, this is about as close to theoretically perfect as a record can get for someone who enjoys the music inside. There's variety in pacing and structure but enough coherency and cohesion in overall sound that the record maintains a unified identity without smearing together into one long monotonous streak of tracks. The biting, nasty production lends some serious meat and heft to the whole affair, making the grooves so monstrously in-your-face that it's impossible not to headbang to this beast.
Fans of Vallenfyre's previous outings aren't going to find much straying from the formula here, but given that it's been a good three years since the release of their last record, this is far from an unforgivable offense. Everything here is done up to a remarkably satisfying degree, making Fear Those Who Fear Him what will probably be one of the best death metal records of the year. Any fan of the genre worth their salt should keep this on their radar, because Vallenfyre is emphatically not fucking around here. This is not a record to be slept on.
. . .
Fear Those Who Fear Him is available everywhere you can typically purchase or stream music. It was released on June 2nd through Century Media.

The Hare with Amber Eyes: A Hidden Inheritance
The Hare with Amber Eyes is one of the most original books I have ever read.It was a compulsory read for an auto/biography course I'm taking and I can see how it will spark intriguing discussion when we get to talking about it (if people dare speak up this time, that is..) It is hard to define what exactly the book is about. Its author - Edmund de Waal - has trouble categorising the book himself, admitting in the final pages that 'I no longer know if this book is about my family, or memory, or myself, or is still a book about small Japanese things' (342). My guess is that it was a little bit of all those things and it was absolutely fine by me.One of the most magnificent things about this book was, I found, how the scope of the story is so huge and intimately small at the same time. He follows the netsuke collection throughout history, simultaneously exploring the lives of ancestors who owned it. It was a pleasant surprise that he was apt, too, in transferring the greater artistic and political atmosphere at the time periods he touches upon. For someone who was largely oblivious of the specific history he discussed, I was able to envisage well many of the scenes he laid out in his book. I think that serves as a compliment to the author. :)De Waal's being an artist at heart felt essential to me, as in one of his latest travels he (perhaps unwittingly) contrasts himself against his fast-paced brother who noticed less the feel or detail of a room, for example. Edmund de Waal has a feel for describing the atmosphere of a Europe long gone and revokes it - or admits he cannot imagine it - in the sincerest way.I am quite sure I would not easily have chosen this book to read, had it not been compulsory. Whereas I am often frustrated by the limits to my knowledge, the Hare with Amber Eyes made me reconsider my interest in history in many of its forms. Art history, genealogical history and its psychological impact, as well as living in the Europe of the past, are all areas this book made me significantly more curious about and want to explore further.

Touch is one of five basic senses, yet the mechanism of tactile sensations remains shrouded. An international collaboration of researchers is working to pull back the veil on how humans process touch, starting with how roughness can differ between individuals.
The team found that people differ substantially in how they perceive roughness. The results were published on January 30, 2019, in PLOS ONE.
"Roughness perception, one of the most basic sensations, seems complex and is under investigation," said Yoshihiro Tanaka, an associate professor in the department of electrical and mechanical engineering in Nagoya Institute of Technology (NITech) in Japan. "Understanding the relationship between physical parameters and the tactile sensation will not only be valuable from a fundamental point of view, but also for the design of textures on products and the development of touch sensors and displays."
Tanaka and his team developed a sensor that wraps around a person's finger, much like a bandage over a paper cut, just around the digit between the first and second knuckles. As a person touches different surfaces, the sensor measures how the skin vibrates in reaction to interacting with the various textures.
"We tackled the problem of determining the physical factor for surface roughness perception, in particular considering individual differences in the perception," Tanaka said. "We aimed to investigate the relationship between subjective roughness ratings and three physical parameters."
The participant's subjective ratings were compared to how the skin vibrated and the friction created from the touch, coupled with the size of the particles in the grain of the samples.
Thirty participants tested 15 different rough textures consisting of non-sharp glass particles or varied grains of sandpaper. Wearing the sensor, as well as a blindfold and headphones to limit other perceptions of the texture, each participant touched the surfaces and rated them from one to one hundred the rougher they felt.
The recorded information from the sensor – the physical measurements of vibration and friction in response to a known grain size – showed different relationships with roughness for each individual participant. A participant may have rated sandpapers as rougher or close to coarse glass particles that cause similar skin vibration. Another participant could rate sandpapers as low for roughness, despite increased vibrations and friction, and rate coarse glass particles as rougher.
"We found that important cues in tactile sensations can be different for each person," Tanaka said, noting that they specifically focused on skin vibrations, grain size, sharp edges, and other mechanical properties. "This paper demonstrates the presence of individual differences in roughness ratings. For perceptual evaluation of roughness, different individuals weigh skin vibration information, spatial information, and other mechanical properties differently."
Next, Tanaka plans to investigate why the participants process their sense of touch so differently. He noted that individuals may weigh the sensory information differently, but that there may be biomechanical differences, such as fingerprint structure or the finger's stiffness.
"Ultimately, our goal is to establish an estimation model of perceptual roughness ratings involving individual differences in the cognitive weights," Tanaka said.
Tanaka worked with Makiko Natsume, who is also with NITech, and Astrid M.L. Kappers, a professor of engineering at the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands. At the time of the research, Kappers was a professor at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, also in the Netherlands.

Geological structures, specifically faults play a substantial role in the qualitative and quantitative aspects of hydrogeological processes (Bense, et al., 2006). Fault zones in the earth shallow crust (<1 km) influence a suite of hydrogeological processes and groundwater flow patterns in aquifers (Levens et al., 1994; Mayer et al., 2007; Bense et al., 2008; Burbey, 2008; Folch and Mas-Pla, 2008). Faults in the earth crust formed at distinct scales and influence the geological unit permeability that is an important factor in the movement of groundwater (Geraud, et al., 2006).

A first-order description of fault zones commonly includes a fault core, which is surrounded by a damage zone from the hydrogeological perspective. The fault core, as the zone of the most intense strain, is generally found in the center of the fault zone, and identified the most of the displacement within the fault zone. Fault cores in different rocks are commonly zones of fault gouge and breccias (Evans and Chester, 1995; Caine et al., 1996; Evans et al., 1997). The damage zone has secondary structures such as minor faults and fractures extending into the foot wall and hanging wall, which take up the rest of strain within the fault zone (Bense, et al., 2013). The fault core and damage zone are surrounded by protolith that is relatively undeformed units which may contain joints not primarily related to the fault zone, and exists as a background deformation pattern (Forster and Evans, 1991; Caine and Forster, 1999).
The main hydrogeologic properties of fault zones are believed to be highly anisotropic. Vertical or near-vertical faults are commonly described as being either conduits for horizontal flow along the fault, barriers to horizontal flow across the fault, or a combination of the both respect to the fault core conditions (Anderson and Bakker, 2008).
The faulting mechanism and movement type is a significant parameter in the hydrogeological behavior of faults. Normal faults with tension mechanism have a greater ability to groundwater movement and conversely, reverse faults with compressive mechanism, are not proper pathways for groundwater flow. Reverse faults and strike slip faults generated by compression forces, so can act as an impermeable barrier against groundwater movement across the fault (Goldscheider, 2008).
Various fault processes can reduce the permeability of the fault core and cause fault to behave as an impermeable barrier against groundwater flow in unlithified sediments. Tectonic sediment mixing in fault zones generally leads to a notable reduction of permeability (Faerseth, 2006; Rawling and Goodwin, 2006; Caine and Minor, 2009; Balsamo and Storti, 2011). The physical mixing of sediments with contrasting grain-size distributions can be expected to result in a more poorly sorted sediment mixture than any of the source beds, and for this reason sediment mixing leads to the efficient reduction of pore space and permeability in the fault zone. The degree to which permeability is reduced as a result of sediment mixing in unlithified sediments will depend on the contrast in permeability between the end-member beds. Heynekamp et al. (1999) report a reduction in permeability of up to six orders of magnitude as compared to the original sand layer, where sandy clay form in the fault zone as a result of mixing between sand and clay layers along the Sand Hill fault zone in New Mexico, USA. The latter study further illustrates that mixing, from relatively homogeneous source layers, causes strong permeability heterogeneity in the fault zone because of incomplete sediment mixing. In addition to permeability heterogeneity, permeability anisotropy can be expected to be present in fault zones as a result of rotation of bladed sediment grains. Grains aligning preferably with the main fault dip have been observed in both lab-experiments on loose sands, and in naturally faulted sediments ranging from sand to gravel (Bense, et al., 2013). At the grain scale, the increased tortuosity of flow paths across the fault as a result of the realignment of oblate grains in the direction of the fault dip results in permeability anisotropy so that perpendicular to the shear zone, permeability can be up to two orders of magnitude lower than along it (Arch and Maltman, 1990).
Where clay minerals are present in the sediment matrix, phyllosilicate framework bands will develop along which platy clay minerals orient in the direction of the fault zone andwill so facilitate the sliding of grains past one another possibly reducing grain breakage (Fossen et al., 2007). Clay smears often develop along fault zones cutting through clay beds. The focus onclay smear exists mainly because of their potential to efficient block across fault fluid flow (Bense and Van Balen, 2004). Clay smears have been described in stratigraphies characterized by unlithified sediments consisting of sand–clay alternations (Yielding et al., 1997).
Cataclasis in unlithified sediments is the pervasive brittle fracturing and commination of grains (Engelder, 1974;Chester and Logan, 1986; Blenkinsop, 1991;Davis and Reynolds, 1996). The effectiveness of cataclasis occurring in unlithified sediments varies as function of grain composition, relatively weaker grains such as feldspars can be entirely crushed while stronger quartz grains show low intensity cataclasis characterized by the flaking of grains rather than their entire disintegration by crushing (Loveless et al., 2011; Exner and Tschegg, 2012).
Permeability along cataclastic deformation bands in unlithified sediments with clay content is typically reduced more strongly, as compared to undeformed sediments, which is demonstrated by many field and laboratory permeability tests (Antonellini and Aydin, 1994;Fisher and Knipe, 2001). Permeability along cataclastic deformation bands is often anisotropic with the largest reduction in permeability perpendicular to the deformation band (Antonellini and Aydin, 1994; Sigda et al., 1999).
Fluids carrying reactive solutes circulating through fault zones potentially can reduce permeability as a result of water–rock interaction and cementation (Zhang et al., 2008).
To study the influence of the North Tabriz Fault (NTF) on the adjacent groundwater aquifer in Ammand area, the geologic information reported by the Geological Survey of Iran (1996), along with the hydrostratigraphic characteristic of aquifer drives from 57 well logs, were investigated. Well log data employed to correlate the sedimentary layers in order to clarify the type and structure of the region aquifers. Groundwater level and electrical conductivity (EC) of the groundwater samples have been measured in site. Finally, groundwater level isopotential lines along with flow directions and some hydrochemical analysis of 57 water sample were employed to prepare suitable maps which revealed the impact of the fault on the surrounding aquifer.
The Ammand area is located in the northwest of Iran and in the northwest of Tabriz City (Fig. 1). The Tabriz City is one of the large cities of Iran with more than 1.5 million inhabitants (Moradi, et al. 2011). The study area with 297 mm of average annual precipitation and 12.5oC of average annual temperature has a cold and dry climate according to Emberger classification method. Groundwater of this area as the main source of water supply was exploited for drinking and agriculture purposes. This area was crossed by a large and active fault (North Tabriz Fault) which belongs to the complex system that connects the North Anatolian fault system, located in Turkey, to the Alborz mountain range in Iran and accommodates both the northward motion of Arabia and the westward motion of Anatolia plates relative to Eurasia plate (Moradi, et al. 2011).
The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of the North Tabriz fault on the hydrogeological characteristic of the surrounding aquifer.
The present-day tectonics of Iran is mainly the result of the complex tectonic system due to motion between the Arabian and Eurasia plates (Djamour, et al., 2011). The Tabriz area is part of the complex tectonic system result of the interaction between Arabia, Anatolia and Eurasia plates and comprising the complex system of faults (Sengoret al., 2005; McKenzie, 1972; Jackson, 1992).

The North Tabriz Fault (NTF) is the most outstanding tectonic structure in the northwest of Iran with right lateral fault mechanism (Fig. 1). It is one of the most active faults in Iran which has a clear surface expression in most part of its length (Hesami, et al., 2003). It has an average strike of NW-SE over a length of more than 150 km and appears to be generally close to vertical in dip (Vafaei, et al., 2011).Right-lateral movement along this fault, documented by Berberian and Arshadi (1976) from the study of aerial photographs, which also can be seen clearly in the field (Karakhanian et al., 2004).NTF lineament in the area is easily recognizable in Miocene units (Fig. 2).
Variety of geological formations around the study area according to their rocks composition and the effects of geological phenomena such as North Tabriz fault have contributed as the main role in the appearance of the area current morphology and hydrogeological characteristics of the area aquifers.
Geological units of the area are consists of Pliocene gray Dacite in the north, Miocene gypsiferous red marl and sandstone layers that surrounding the area, Quaternary Travertine deposits in central part, which all of these formations have been covered by Quaternary alluvial fan deposits in most part of the area (Fig. 2).

This kookoo sabzi (kuku sabzi) is an aromatic quiche filled with six different herbs and greens. It's a staple dish to celebrate the first day of Spring and the Persian New Year (Nowruz).
Every year, the approach of spring and Nowruz (Persian New Year) brings a smile to face. It not only reminds me that winter is almost over, but it also brings about all the beautiful traditions I love about this holiday.
The first day of Spring falls on March 20th, the spring equinox. And the first day on the Iranian calendar (Nowruz/Norouz/Noruz) falls on the the first day of spring. Along with the traditions of the sofreh haft sin and the fire jumps on Chahr-Shambeh Souri, there are certain foods we Persians eat to celebrate.
This post contains some affiliate links for your convenience (which means if you make a purchase after clicking a link I will earn a small commission but it won't cost you a penny more)! Read my full disclosure policy
What is nowruz?
Nowruz is farsi for "new day." It marks the first day of Farvardin, the first month of the Iranian solar calendar. This first day of the Persian new year also marks the first day of Spring. This holiday began with the Zorastrians over 3000 years ago in Ancient Persia and people of ALL religions celebrate nowruz.
This holiday is not only celebrated in Iran, but also Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Albania, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kurdistan and Georgia. You can learn more about how Persians celebrate nowruz here.
The main course is typically Sabzi Polo Mahi, herb rice with fish. Fish has long symbolized life and good luck and green is the color symbolizing fruitfulness.
Ash-e Reshteh is also served. Persian ash is always a hearty soup. And this ash is cooked with beans, fresh herbs and Persian noodles (reshteh), which is said to symbolically help one succeed in life.
Today I am going share my recipe for Kookoo sabzi. It is like a frittata, but with less eggs and mixed in with fresh herbs and green vegetables. It is believed that eating kookoo sabzi will bring prosperity and happiness in the year to come.
Why this recipe is so awesome
There are many varieties of Persian kookoo. Kookoo (or kuku) is made with eggs. It is not as light and fluffy like a quiche, nor is there any other dairy mixed into it. Kookoo is similar to a frittata, but is made with fewer eggs.
The herbs take center stage in kookoo sabzi, not the eggs. Just enough eggs are used to bind it all together. I add a couple more eggs than many other traditional recipes for kookoo sabzi because of personal preference. Other kookoo recipes feature potatoes, onions and even string beans.
My version of kuku sabzi is made with only fresh herbs, although you can (and many Persians do) purchase dried herbs. I also like to add fresh spinach to my kookoo sabzi for a nutritional punch, but traditional kookoo sabzi is made with only herbs.
The dish is full of flavor and makes a wonderful dish all year long, and not just spring time. We enjoy kuku for breakfast, light lunch and even a snack. It is quite delicious and I know you will love it, too.
This recipe is baked in the oven, but you can also make kuku sabzi in the instant pot, too.
Ingredients you need
- Saffron: Saffron threads are crushed into a powder using a mortar and pestle. Then hot water is added and the saffron is steeped. The longer it steeps the deeper the color. You want a nice orange-crimson mixture. I sell Persian saffron here on my blog.
- Leek: You can substitute leek with a bundle of green onions.
- Fresh herbs: parsley, cilantro, dill
- Spinach: I have used both fresh and frozen spinach. If using frozen, be sure to thaw it out and squeeze out the excess water.
- Dried fenugreek: I don't usually find fresh fenugreek so I purchase dried fenugreek.
- Walnuts: These add crunch to the kuku, but you can omit them if you have a nut allergy.
- Dried barberries (zereshk): Barberries are small sour berries. You can substitute them with dried cranberries if you cannot find them in middle eastern stores or order online. You can learn more about zereshk (barberries) here.
- Eggs
- Pantry items: all purpose flour, baking soda, extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper
Tools to Use
Step-by-step directions
1. Grind your saffron in a mortar and pestle then steep in hot water.
2. In a large bowl stir together vegetables and herbs with walnuts, barberries, flour, baking soda, olive oil, salt and pepper.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs with the saffron water. Stir eggs into the vegetable mix.
4. Spray 9-inch ceramic pie dish with cooking spray. Pour egg mixture into prepared pie dish. Bake at 350ºF for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean. Let it cool for 15 minutes prior to serving. Or cool completely and serve at room temperature.
Recipe tips and FAQs
Not only have I mixed spinach in my kuku sabzi, but I have also made it with Swiss chard and kale. Click here for the my kookoo sabzi with Swiss chard recipe.
For Nowruz, we serve kuku sabzi with the main meal. But, you can serve kuku as an appetizer, too. I like to enjoy a slice of kuku sabzi with my morning tea (this is my FAVORITE Persian tea) for breakfast. You can also make a sandwich with it and wrap it in some lavash (flat bread) with a bit of feta cheese and some radishes.
You can also serve kuku sabzi with plain yogurt or even mast o khiar (yogurt with cucumbers). Whether you are enjoying this dish to celebrate spring or just to enjoy the bounty of fresh herbs, there is no wrong way to enjoy kuku sabzi!
Spinach isn't the only leafy green that I like to use to sneak in some nutrition in my dishes. I also have a this version of kookoo sabzi made with fresh herbs as well as
My grandmother always made her kookoo in a pan on her stove. My mother-in-law still makes her kookoo this way, too. You press the kuku sabzi mixture into a greased pan and cook until the bottom is browned and set. Then, like a quesadilla, you need to transfer the kookoo to a plate in order to flip it over and brown the other side. I'm a no fuss kinda cook and prefer baking my kookoo in a 9-inch pie dish in the oven. Whichever method you choose, you will create a wonderful dish!
Want to learn more about Nowruz and the Persian New Year? I have put together a Nowruz ebook that has all the history, traditions and recipes of Nowruz, in a beautifully photographed ebook. And it's only $1.99!

Believing that music can help everyone, Giada, a fan of Dimash from Italy, has been going out on her balcony and singing since the world pandemic began to support her fellow countrymen in their time of need. And recently, she had the honor of meeting with the famous Italian singer Andrea Bocelli.
Music has been seventeen-year-old Giada Lepore's greatest passion since she can remember. The young vocalist has been singing since she was five years old, and has been doing it professionally since the world pandemic began.
As soon as the whole world found itself in forced self-isolation, the residents of Italy organized a flash mob where they invited people to go out on balconies and sing to support each other in that way. Young Giada willingly joined the event posting her performances on social media.
Such famous Italian music pieces as "Credo", "Una finestra tra le stelle", "Il mondo che vorrei", "Guardando il cielo" and others were heard from her balcony. Not a single one of her performances passed without the presence of the audience and applause.
"I started singing from the balcony because, like millions of people who found themselves trapped at homes, I wanted to rediscover myself. To realize that it wasn't so terrible, and that we could overcome it. And I kept singing because people started supporting me. I felt like their fear was going away because of my singing, and that gave me a lot of strength. The songs were only 3-4 minutes long, but I was experiencing every second of them with great excitement," Giada shared.
The young vocalist became acquainted with Dimash's songs on September 20, 2020, thanks to her best friend. He told Giada about an artist from Kazakhstan with an incredible voice. The girl instantly got interested in the singer's art, and became his fan. Now meeting with Dimash is added to the Giada's wish list
On May 30, 2021, the girl had the chance to meet legendary Italian vocalist Andrea Bocelli in Forte dei Marmi.
Giada shared that Andrea Bocelli is a very responsive and kind person. Their conversation took place in a very cozy and comfortable atmosphere, and the girl even felt as if they were old friends. The maestro was happy to listen to Giada's singing. He also gave some advice about the vocals and wished her a lot of luck in her career.

Inspired by the experimental nature of 1960s psychedelia, the Monterey from Keeley Electronics delivers just about everything needed for a proper flashback experience! By looking at the pedal, we can infer whose sound the Monterey is going after, and this pedal inspires original creativity based on his sonic palette – as the man himself would most likely approve of.
First in the Monterey is a classic two-knob fuzz circuit based around vintage Fairchild Semiconductor transistors, which exhibit medium gain and the feel of germanium transistors without the temperamental nature. Controls for level and fuzz are the topmost two knobs on the Monterey.
The Monterey also features a three-mode modulation section, with four controls: Level, rate, depth, and octave – which is a variable control contingent on the modulation mode the Monterey is set to. "Rotary" mode emulates a Leslie style rotating speaker cabinet, with classic slow and fast speeds able to be dialed in with ease. In this mode, Octave controls high end. The "Vibe" mode takes on the legendary pulsating modulation of the original Shin-E design. Last is the very unique "Wah" mode, which depending on its settings acts as a fixed wah, auto wah, or self-modulating harmonic wah. In both the Vibe and Wah modes, the octave control adds either one octave up or down to the signal, and center positon takes it out.
With a TRS expression pedal, the user can control the speed of the modulation, or have a conventional wah pedal at his or her disposal. On the back of the Monterey is a semi-recessed reorder switch, allowing the user to set whether the fuzz in the Monterey is before or after the modulation section.
The Monterey runs on a single standard -9V power, which is an added plus for the styles of effects produced by this pedal. In the '60s, these effects were either powered by batteries, grounded IEC power, or man-power – that being two roadies to load in the rotary speaker!
Add the Monterey to your pedalboard and kiss the sky!

Thursday night Raven went through her toys and got some of her stuff animals that she doesn't play with anymore ready to take to school Friday to donate them to the children effected by Hurricane Katrina. Her school is collecting items to be delivered once a week by a local church. I am very proud of her for donating some of her toys. She's such a great little girl! I am so very lucky to have her!
I spent the afternoon at my mom's and Nan's house yesterday and then spent the morning there today. I just set around and talk to them and my Aunt Lois and my cousin Daniel. I have a pretty cool, laid back family. Or at least most of them are.

It's all about community
Without those who support us we could not do what we do. They have helped Food For Love in many ways, from in kind donations, facilities and financial contributions. We are grateful for their ongoing commitment. But don't just take our word for it, read on to find out what they have to say about being part of Food For Love.
Upper Clutha Rugby Club
The Upper Clutha Rugby Football Club are proud to be part of the Upper Clutha Community. Over the years we have helped by providing our facilities for use by community groups. We see this as an important way to contribute to the community (as the community have contributed to us). Recently this has been with Food For Love who are a fantastic charity helping nourish those who are often facing some of the hardest of times.
We are proud to support this worthy organisation.
I write this in support of Food For Love, as devised and driven by Rebecca Sarginson. As a company Amigos have always striven to find and empower community minded organisations who are providing a service that would otherwise be lacking, and whose absence would leave a palpable need in our area. The demand for the services FFL provides is testament to that need.
The army of cooks and delivery drivers speaks to the effectiveness of Rebecca's organisational abilities, along with the numerous local businesses that are behind her, amongst whom we count ourselves as enthusiastic members.
Florences Foodstore & Cafe
I am the owner of a local cafe in Wānaka and a great supporter of the charity, Food for Love. This charity caters to lighten the load for families who are grieving, who have lost jobs, are unwell – physically and mentally – and even for those who have accidents and cannot return to their homes. I hope for Food for Love to continue the work they do, in not only feeding folk, but helping to keep their spirits up, during times that are not anticipated. It is efficient, productive and most necessary in our community.
Dripping Bowl Wānaka
I can't even express how much I believe in Food For Love and all that they do for our community down here in Wanaka. I have personally been volunteering for them for 3+ years now and the joy I get from cooking and delivering meals to those in need brings such joy to my heart. When I opened my cafe 1.5 years ago, I also bought into a food truck that sold soup so we decided to create fundraising for Food For Love by giving away free soup and renting out bowls so it was 100% waste free and all donations went directly to Bex and the team. We raised over $400 and had such a blast spreading the word about everything great they do plus helping them provide more resources with a little more cash in their bank account. If you have any questions or want to hear stories about people who have been touched by this charity, they are endless. Don't hesitate to call.
New World Three Parks
The Wānaka and surrounding community is incredibly fortunate to have the support and generosity of these Food for Love volunteers who are taking care of families and individuals who are going through many challenging life events. The loss of revenue in Wānaka and surrounding areas due to COVID-19 and the lack of tourism to our community has contributed to growing financial pressures on local families and individuals that need support for Food for Love on a temporary or weekly basis, either requiring home cooked meals or providing fresh food for children's lunches. It was through these challenging times we realised just how important such an organisation is needed for our region and why we committed to help fund Food for Love on a regular basis.

Although a year has passed since the tragic shooting at the Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wis., members of the Sikh community have not forgotten the six worshippers who were gunned down. Amardeep Kaleka, whose father was murdered in the shooting, joined HuffPost Live's Dena Takruri to reflect on the anniversary and the challenging road ahead.
Commenting on President Obama's response to the hate crime, Kaleka noted both his impersonal body language and "generic answer" during the press conference immediately following the Oak Creek shooting. "He doesn't understand the gravitas of him being elected as a black president and what that means for Neo-Nazi groups and the Klan, which are recruiting heavily from the United States Army. The United States Army is exactly where the person who did this on August 5th came from -- and I do not say his name."
"The President sent the First Lady ... and she's not an elected official. I feel bad saying that, but that is the truth," he continued. "This is a national tragedy .... We needed him here. We still need him here."

Hike the Coy Bald/Long Creek Loop for the Waterfall
A wet-weather waterfall rewards your hard work on the Coy Bald and Long Creek Loop trails, and you'll love soaking in all of the fall foliage along the way.
By Vivian Wheeler
Oct 2019
There are over 12,000 acres and more than 30 miles of trails to explore at Hercules Glades, but we're particularly keen to the Coy Bald/Long Creek loop, which (hopefully) leads to a waterfall. There are two trailheads at Hercules Glades, so to find this spot simply search Coy Bald trailhead on Google Maps.
Once you're on the trail, head right at the fork and hop onto the Coy Bald trail. The first couple miles of the hike are through the forest. Eventually the landscape opens up, and you're treated to scenic vistas and glades. When you come to a fork, be sure to follow the sign that says "Trail." We're not saying we get lost here regularly... but before some kind soul put a sign here, we definitely spent some time wandering around lost.
Stay on the Coy Bald Trail until you reach the sign for the falls and then hike down to them. The falls are weather-dependent, but unless it's the middle of summer or particularly dry, you should have a decent chance of at least seeing a trickle. Once you're done at the falls, head back to the trail and look for the Long Creek trail sign. Long Creek trail loops back to the trailhead, and the rest of your trip will mostly be through the woods. There are several water crossings on these trails, so be prepared to wade if it's been rainy.
Coy Bald/Long Creek Loop Information
1 hour and 20 minutes south from Springfield, MO
Difficulty: Moderate | Length: 6 mile | Kid- and Dog-Friendly: Dogs and older kids
The Big Payoff: The falls | Photo-Op: Snap a shot of the sweeping vistas just before the fork. At the falls, venture down the creekside a bit and aim your camera upstream for the money shot.

My best Christmas present: The Logitech WingMan made me a MechWarrior
Christmas is always a great time for fans of shiny things – and aside from an unfortunate incident with a SEGA Saturn, that's generally been the case for me.
Over my 30-plus years on this planet, I've received all manner of great gifts. These range from the SEGA Master System my brother and I received, aged three, to the super-swish 1TB Samsung M2 SSD I got last year – don't judge me, storage is cool.
But, one of the best presents I ever received remains the Logitech WingMan Warrior. For those not in the know, the Warrior was one of Logitech's premiere joysticks in 1997 – a year that, in my mind, was one of the best ever for PC gamers.
I can already see the younglings of today rolling their eyes at my claim that a joystick is one of my best Christmas gifts ever, especially when by today's standards the Warrior looks pretty basic.
I mean, look at some of the sim-setups on the market right now. The top peripherals from companies such as Thrustmaster, Logitech and Saitek all come with cool features that make older models look archaic. These include features such as custom foot pedals, force feedback, and a wealth of attachments that make you feel like you're actually flying a spaceship in Elite Dangerous, or racing round a track in Project Cars.

But back then the Warrior was revolutionary. It was the first joystick I'd seen with a second left-hand control and a 360-degree joystick with more controls and switches than you could shake a stick at.
At the time. we were living in Viborg, Denmark, and I remember staring at the joystick – which came with a copy of MechWarrior 2 – every time we visited the A-Z superstore.
Following two years of pestering, in 1997, my parents finally conceded that I was old enough to play a "violent game" such as MechWarrior. Which is the reason, when I came sprinting down the stairs on the big day and ripped open the wrapping to find the joystick and game I'd been hounding, I was elated.
Sure, the setup process wasn't smooth – it took my parents, who were both pretty tech-savvy RAF engineers, a good three hours to find the right drivers and get the two presents up and running on our PC. But once there, I was in heaven.
I may be remembering MechWarrior2 through rose-tinted glasses, but jumping into the game and taking command of a Jenner IIC, I recall feeling like I was actually in the giant robot's cockpit – and I spent more hours than I care to share blasting my way through the game's missions.
It was this particular experience that kindled my love of PC gaming, a hobby I enjoy to this day – and something that, debatably, also sparked an interest in tech in general – which is pretty important considering my choice of career.
This is the reason the Logitech WingMan Warrior is, and will forever be, one of my best Christmas presents ever.

Per the Illinois Supreme Court, 'until his case is considered'.
Heh! That was quick.
And yes, they're going to hear his appeal. Not only that, but the Illinois Supreme Court said it's not going to accept any new legal briefs or even hear oral arguments on the case.
"This Court is taking the case on the briefs filed by the parties in the appellate court,'' the Supreme Court's order reads. "No additional briefs will be filed in the Supreme Court. Oral argument will not be entertained".
Which means they've already pretty much made their decision.

Open Interest:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin appear to be making progress in their latest coronavirus stimulus talks. The pair "continued to narrow their differences," according to a spokesman for Pelosi, who "hopes that, by the end of the day Tuesday, we will have clarity on whether we will be able to pass a bill before the election." U.S. stock index futures climbed around 0.6% overnight following the announcement, after suffering a broad decline during Monday's session. On the earnings front today, reports will be headlined by Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG), Snap (NYSE:SNAP) and Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX).
Moderna not far behind Pfizer vaccine timeline
The U.S. could authorize emergency use of Moderna's (NASDAQ:MRNA) experimental COVID-19 vaccine in December, according to CEO Stéphane Bancel, if the company gets positive interim results in November from a large clinical trial. The comments suggest Moderna's timetable isn't that far off from Pfizer's (NYSE:PFE), which said last week it expects to seek U.S. authorization of emergency use of its vaccine by late November. The latest news comes as two other leading COVID-19 vaccines, from Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) and AstraZeneca (NASDAQ:AZN), have been paused as the companies investigate illnesses among study subjects.
Go Deeper: Pfizer has already manufactured "several hundred thousand doses" in Belgium.
Shares of IBM (NYSE:IBM) slipped nearly 3% after the bell on Monday, as the company reported Q3 revenues that fell 3% Y/Y to $17.56B. While the figure matched consensus estimates, it marked the third straight quarter of revenue declines for Big Blue. Investors are also anxiously awaiting earnings from Netflix (NFLX), which will report this afternoon. Will the ongoing coronavirus pandemic affect membership? How will the number compare to the weak subscriber guidance the company issued in July?
UBS kicks off European bank earnings
Shares of UBS (NYSE:UBS) are powering ahead, 5.5% higher in premarket trade, as the bank posted a 99% jump in Q3 net profit to $2.1B (vs. $1.56B consensus). Investment banking saw earnings more than triple thanks to a spike in trading performance and asset management saw profits grow six times from a year ago. "Our third quarter results continue to demonstrate that our strategy is differentiating us," said CEO Sergio Ermotti, who will be replaced in November by former ING boss Ralph Hamers. "UBS has all the options open to write another successful chapter of its history under Ralph's leadership."
Go Deeper: UBS also set aside billions for buybacks and dividends.
ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) has announced a $9.7B deal to acquire Permian specialist Concho Resources (NYSE:CXO), in a gamble that will see the combined company produce 1.5M barrels per day, or a tenth of daily U.S. output. While it may seem like an odd time to go big on U.S. shale, considering how oil has done this year, it could make for a good time to pick up assets as the coronavirus pandemic depresses prices. The wave of consolidation doesn't stop there. Pioneer Natural Resources (NYSE:PXD) is in talks to buy Parsley Energy (NYSE:PE), just a few weeks after Devon Energy (NYSE:DVN) snapped up WPX Energy (NYSE:WPX) for $2.6B.
Intel takes big step away from memory
Shedding another non-core business to fix its chip technology woes, Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) has agreed to sell its NAND memory unit to SK Hynix (OTC:HXSCF) for $9B. Intel already pared down its involvement in memory manufacturing in January when it sold its share of a joint venture with Micron (NASDAQ:MU) amid increasing market pressures and production struggles. With Intel shares down about 10% over the past six months, the U.S. chip giant intends to invest the proceeds from its latest deal in fast-growing areas like artificial intelligence and 5G networking.
Money continues pouring into Hong Kong
China's top ride-hailing firm, Didi Chuxing (DIDI), has begun exploring a 2021 IPO in Hong Kong after rethinking previous aims to list in New York, according to Reuters. Reasons? Deteriorating U.S.-China relations, stricter audit requirements from U.S. regulators, as well as uninspiring stock performances by rivals Uber (NYSE:UBER) and Lyft (NASDAQ:LYFT). Didi, backed by SoftBank (OTCPK:SFTBY), Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) and Tencent (OTCPK:TCEHY), began the IPO talks with investment banks after it began generating a profit during the second quarter of the year. It's also considering a new fundraising round to boost its valuation to more than $60B.

$5B price tag for 1MDB scandal
Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) has reached a long-awaited pact with the U.S. Justice Department to pay more than $2B for its role in Malaysia's 1MDB scandal, and the deal may be announced within days, Bloomberg reports. It follows an agreement in July to settle a related probe with Malaysia, in which the bank promised to pay $2.5B (and slashed its Q2 results to reflect the charges). In all, Goldman may pay roughly $5B once accords with Malaysia, the DOJ and other agencies are tallied together (Malaysia dropped criminal charges against the company in early September).

Core Course 1: Prof. Dr. Michael Minkenberg
Course description:
The course introduces students to the relationship between football and various dimensions in the construction of identities with a particular emphasis on the political quality of this relationship. Based on concepts of collective identity formation from the local to the national level and beyond, the course proceeds by asking how and to what extent football contributes to the formation of such identities and how and to what extent it merely reflects these identities. Among constitutive dimensions of collective identities, the following are of particular relevance: territorial (local and regional) identities, ethnic and racial identities, religious-cultural identities, national and post-national identities. Football takes a unique position in different settings of identity formation: Loyalties to national football teams are situated between, but not necessarily competing with, local and transnational identities; football can be at the same time inclusive (including "others" regardless of class, creed, or color) and exclusive ("othering" those who do not belong to the same football culture, yet share similar attributes of class, creed, or color); football functions as "cultural capital" (Putnam) in both its versions of "bonding" (which includes the drawing of boundaries) and "bridging" (which overcomes boundaries).These issues will be tackled in light of the Euro 2012. Hence, the interrelationship between national identity, nationalism/racism, and football takes center stage in the seminar.

24 Jun Membrane Reuse Project Testing Phase Set to Begin
First launched in July 2019 in cooperation with the Research Council, now the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation, the project investigating the "Use of End of life Reverse Osmosis Membranes to Treat Wastewater for Industrial and Agricultural Use" is nearing its final stages. The research project will deliver an in-depth analysis of membrane use in Oman, including an assessment of the life cycle of RO membranes and the annual mass being consigned to landfill. The project will also examine the technical feasibility of removing the outer layer of the membrane and modifying the unit to effectively treat wastewater for agricultural and industrial use. A testing unit has been built as part of the project to perform trials on the recovered membranes at MEDRC's water research and training facility in Al Hail. The organization's on-site water testing laboratory will be used to conduct the water analysis.

Four universities, three countries, one program: Uniting perspectives on medicine and the humanities
Posted on Monday, August 12, 2019
By Chonglu Huang
This summer marked the third annual Medicine and Humanities International Program (MHIP), which took place in Shanghai from July 1 to 12, bringing together students from uOttawa, Université de Lyon and two participating medical schools in China.
Co-hosted by Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine (SJTUSM) and Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (SHUTCM), this year's theme was "Integrative Medicine – The Art of Combining Western Medicine with Traditional Chinese Medicine."
Seven MD students and one faculty member from uOttawa's Faculty of Medicine attended this training program, during which they engaged in intercultural knowledge exchanges and learned about how cultural perspectives shape communication. A total of 42 students and 31 professors participated this year from the four partnered institutions.
"As future physicians, it is essential to understand that our responsibility to patients combine scientific knowledge with humanistic aspects that foster trust, understanding and empathy," said Oliver Fung, uOttawa MD 2022 candidate and a participant of the MHIP program.
"Furthermore, through intercultural exchanges and communication, we are able to appreciate differences in health care practices across the globe and gain a better understanding of the importance of effective communication," added Fung.
Launched in the summer of 2017 through a multilateral partnership between the four medical schools located in Ottawa, Lyon and Shanghai, the MHIP is a global program that takes place at each of the three cities on a rotating annual basis. In 2020, the program will be hosted in Lyon, France.
"I am proud and incredibly privileged to accompany uOttawa MD students in this experience," said Dr. Millaray Sanchez-Campos, assistant professor of Family Medicine at uOttawa. "Our students certainly caught the attention of their international peers with their participation and reflections."
"After spending two weeks together with students and teachers from three different continents and cultures, I realized that—albeit our differences—we all share a common humanity that makes it possible to make new friendships and strengthen our alliance."

J. Law Has A Great Way Of Maintaining Her Privacy
If you search for the person closest to owning the title "most relatable celebrity," Jennifer Lawrence will be high on that list. Throughout her supernova of a career, fans and film audiences have been drawn to her star quality, undoubtedly because of her candidness in nearly every part of her life. Lawrence never minces her words and stands up for what she believes, and it's a beautiful sight to see in a young actor. In her new Vanity Fair cover story, Lawrence revealed how she protects her privacy and her tactic is refreshingly honest, even if it involves a bit of rudeness to her fans. No one ever said that being a celebrity was easy.
Thee 26-year-old is not on social media and Vanity Fair notes that her only official online imprint is her Facebook fan page. She holds her privacy in high regard and said, "I try to just live in a nice little imaginary cocoon." But since Lawrence is such a public figure with her career, she has had to find ways to cope with her public life, which means sometimes she just has to be rude to fans. She told Vanity Fair,
"You might think you know me, but when you approach me you're a total stranger to me and I'm scared. I get very protective of my space. It took me a long time to be able to do that. But if I'm eating dinner and somebody comes up and a flash goes off from someone's iPhone camera, I am really rude to that person. Then other people at the restaurant will see and be like, 'Oh, damn, I don't want to do that.'"
Although many celebs take a very safe, friendly stance about their fans, I appreciate that J. Law is as open as she is about how overly invasive fans make her feel. She doesn't say she is rude to her fans simply because they want to interact with her, but she makes sure to assert her feelings in these situations, and I admire her for that. Lawrence continued, "Privacy is a full-time job and I work very hard at it."
Her comment and coping tactic also only highlights how difficult it is for celebrities to maintain their normalcy in the face of (literal) flashing lights. Lawrence is right: a stranger taking a photo of you is actually a very scary experience, and she has a normal reaction to it just as anyone else would, regardless if they were famous or not.
In a time when social media is blurring the lines of privacy, Lawrence has a much more clearly defined line than many other celebs, and obviously knows how to take care of herself above all. In other words, she will be cool with you as long as you don't impede on her during private moments, because that's rude even if she is a celebrity. And she'll call you out on it, too.

RMD was appointed to up-date the existing interior of a Victorian town house
Particular focus was made on opening up the space to the lower ground floor and adding a rear extension to bring natural light into the area.
Following our initial consultation with the planning department and conservation society we opted to design and install a bespoke structural glass conservatory that would cover part of the rear courtyard and increase the footprint to the lower floor.
Full drawing packages were supplied for construction and management of the planning application and full plans were submitted to the building control and conservation departments.
Liaising with structural engineers, building control and specialist suppliers to achieve a seamlessly open space, RMD moved the kitchen to the ground floor and designed bespoke units to complement the conservatory.
In addition to the extensive work carried out on the ground floor, we designed and commissioned a fully integrated oak and veneer inlayed bookcase with hidden doors, and a desk for the first floor. Perpendicular slots with glass panels and floating shelves allowed light from the main corridor to filter through into the library.
RMD created a series of invisible storage walls on both the ground and second floors to allow all household goods to be stored out of sight and ensure a clutter-fee environment. The 5m storage wall on the lower ground floor ran the length of the house following through into the kitchen space and housed a secret door to a washroom as well as a children's toy cupboard and a television.
The general palette of white limestone and cream lacquer finish, with strategically placed mirror panels and hidden light features, created a warm but fresh atmosphere where the client's eclectic collection of artwork and furniture created an attractive colour and tonal contrast throughout the interior.
The property was successfully sold six months following completion for a substantial return, setting a standard for other similar properties in the same street.
