"Listen…" Shanthi said, wrapping her arm around mine as we crossed the road towards the brightly lit house. "Relax, don't worry, it'll be fine, it's just a couple hours."
"Yeah, I know"
"So; ready??" she said and without waiting rang the doorbell.
Faint tunes of a familiar melody rang within the house. A few heavy steps and a second later, the door swung open.
"Hello, hello, welcome."
Shanthi's father, Pankaj Verma was a striking figure, six-two with a neatly trimmed French beard, square rimmed glasses, a deep baritone and a noticeable limp that he tried to camouflage with a walking stick. He squeezed my hand with a vigour and gave it a couple of firm downward tugs before finally letting it go. I wiped my nervous moist hands on my pants.
"Hello, I'm Anuj" I muttered as I shuffled inwards, back towards the wall.
Shanthi meanwhile already in a warm embrace of her father, barely registered my discomfort.
"Hello, Anuj, come; come inside", Neelu Verma, a matronly aunty with a sallow thin face and an even thinner smile gestured inward into the depths of this unfamiliar home. The passage from the door led into a lavish living room and taking a seat on the roomy four-seater sofa, I drank in the room; the bookshelf crowded with medical texts, the framed photos of family trips, the neat centre table placed square in the middle, symmetrically dividing the entire room, and finally, finally the painting. The painting hung on the wall opposite the sofa was squarely opposite me and it was formidable. It was a face, except it wasn't.
It wasn't one, that is, it was a montage, a jigsaw of assimilated flesh, assembled into a face. The cheeks made of three distinct askew chunks morphed into a cheek-like blob extending down into a square chin split into two alien morsels supporting a slit like mouth framed by incongruous upper and lower lips that drew into a sneer. But it was the eyes that were most troubling. Each gouged from different sockets, they bore down into me just as his had. I could hear it now, the low hum ominous, growing in my ears, rattling within my head. Over the left eye, cracking red lines ran bloodshot, the right, the other extreme, was a dull, unseeing hole drawing me in, swallowing me whole into my past.
Dragging my gaze away from the abomination, I found that snacks and drinks had materialised on the centre table, and Shanthi and her mother were deep in conversation, giggling between bites of chips and kebabs.
"So, how's work? Shanthi says you quit recently…"
"Uh, yes" I said silently sipping my water, sweaty palms searching for footholds on the smooth glass.
I fidgeted, sinking deeper into the sofa, a pool of sweat growing over my shirt, my nails scratching the cushion, just as they had that day. His eyes bloodshot, his heavy pungent breath as he pushed himself onto me, thrusting towards me.
"He has a start-up papa…", Shanthi gushed her eyes shining, as I silently sipped my water; "They provide career counselling for college kids."
"Hmmm… so people without jobs find others' jobs; is it??" Mr Verma spoke low yet firm, his eyes glaring at me through his glasses, Shuddering I looked away, the eyes on the painting catching mine again and once more, I was back on that sofa, on my back, his grunts as he thrust forwards, the creaking, groaning wooden legs of the sofa; humming through my ears, protesting for me, my only witnesses.
"Uh, where is the bathroom?" I blurted out, pausing Shanthi in her long-winded description of my new job.
"2nd door on the left, beta", Neelu aunty said, refilling my parched glass; "And they must also have lots of students, right…", she continued rapt in Shanthi's description.
My nervous sweaty hands searched in the bathroom, clattering through unfamiliar shampoos, toothbrushes and lotions until finally closing in on the razor. I stared into myself, face blanched, mouth dry, the gushing tap trying to drown out, the now deafening groans, creaks and his grunts.
Just one cut, just one cut, careful, don't spill, they mustn't know. I lowered the blade onto my bare upper thigh cutting horizontally, burying old wounds with the new. Trickling down over the scars of the past, I bled onto my present. A minute and two scars later, I emerged, born anew.
"Yeah, uncle, a start-up like Flipkart" I smiled taking over from Shanthi, avoiding the eyes on the wall still searching the room for me.

Driving on the right: Some tips from the AA
This summer many UK drivers will be taking their car to mainland Europe to enjoy the open roads, and all the freedom that a car can bring. But it's important to do a little homework first and the following Q&A might be helpful.
Miles that pass by with barely another car in sight might be wishful thinking: but across the Channel you don't have to go far to find well-maintained, open roads that are free of traffic.
Driving in Europe isn't difficult. And it's fun. But, according to an AA/Populus survey of AA members, common concerns about driving outside the UK include 'driving on the wrong side of the road', not understanding local traffic laws or about the driving standards of local people.
Even so, one in five (19%) thought that the standard of driving in mainland Europe is generally better than in the UK. So here are the AA's popular Q&As on driving abroad:
How do I know whether my comprehensive insurance covers me for driving in Europe?
It is very important that you check with your insurer first to ensure that you do, in fact, have comprehensive cover when driving outside the UK. Many insurers have withdrawn this cover to reduce costs and either don't offer it at all or charge an additional premium. AA comprehensive insurance is among the few policies that includes up to 90 days without charge. You don't need to tell the AA when you are driving in Europe, but others that offer similar cover may want to know when you are travelling.
If I don't have comprehensive cover, does that make it illegal for me to drive in Europe?
No. If you are travelling to an EC country, provided your car is insured in your home country (comprehensive or third party) then you can legally drive in most European countries including those not in the EC (such as Norway and Switzerland). EC law means that you will have the minimum legal level of cover in the countries you drive through, which in most cases is third party only. So if you have a crash that's your fault, you will be covered for the injuries you cause to anyone else and/or for damage to cars or property you hit, but not damage to your own car. You'll end up having to foot the local bills for getting your car removed, repaired, repatriated or even scrapped if the damage is severe - quite apart from costs for onward travel, hotel bills and so-on. So it is vital to ensure that your insurance is in place before you go.
How do I cover myself if I do have an accident or break down?
Taking out European Breakdown Cover (AA European Breakdown Cover) is a must. 'Gives you real peace of mind' is a much-misused term but in this case, it genuinely is true. Help is proved 24/7 through the AA's call handlers in Lyon, who are multilingual. If your car breaks down or you do have an accident miles from home, you need to know that you will be rescued and your car repaired, or if not, you will be able to continue your journey and your car sorted out or repatriated while you enjoy the rest of your holiday. In the event of a crash, AA European Breakdown Cover will talk to your insurer about repair or recovery. Not all European breakdown services will attend if you have a crash. (Others: RAC European Breakdown Cover ; Britannia Rescue )
What hints do you have if I have a crash in another country?
A collision should be handled in much the same way as in the UK.
Make a note of the Europe-wide emergency number - it's 112 (the equivalent of 999) the number works in the UK as well. This will enable you to contact the Police and Ambulance services. It is compulsory in some countries to call the police in the event of any accident no matter how minor.
Get names and addresses of those involved, note where you are, distinguishing features, make a note of registration numbers and makes / colours of cars.
Take photos if you can (use your mobile phone if necessary).
Exchange details (your insurer may be able to send you a European Accident Report Form which will help).
Get a report from the police who attend.
Tell your insurer as soon as possible; and call AA European Breakdown Cover using the number provided with your documentation
What if I'm stopped for speeding or get flashed by a speed camera?
Take great care to stick to speed limits. In many countries the penalties can be both tough and instant. If you are stopped for a motoring offence by police you are likely to be required to pay an on-the-spot fine and most police will accept credit or debit cards. If you don't pay, your car may be impounded. There are reciprocal arrangements between the UK and most other EU countries for motoring offences, such as from an enforcement camera, so the fine will follow you home and will be recovered by a UK court. Take note that some motorways as well as urban highways measure average speed between cameras.
What else should I take with me?
Check local road traffic rules before you go - you'll find a host of information on the on the AA's website. You should understand speed limits, which might be different when it's raining (in France for instance); and road signs (which are mostly familiar although there are some you won't see in the UK). And remember never, ever drink and drive - alcohol limits in almost all other European countries are a lot lower than in the UK.
Your insurer may provide a translation confirming that you are comprehensively insured - however, EC countries no longer require visiting drivers to carry a 'green card'. Check with your insurer.
Don't forget your driving licence of course - both the pink card and the paper counterpart.
If you are towing a caravan, make sure that your caravan's insurance extends to the countries you are visiting. Most do and some provide very comprehensive overseas touring cover year-round (thus covering ex-pats as well)
Make sure you have your European Breakdown Cover documents.
Take your vehicle registration document.
Take your EHIC (European Health Insurance Card - used to be E111) - free from www.euhealthcard.org which provides reciprocal medical treatment in EU countries. However, EHIC is not a replacement for travel insurance and it doesn't necessarily mean that treatment will be free.
You will need travel insurance (AA Travel Insurance). Remember, if your home insurance covers your personal property outside the home anywhere in the world: you won't need baggage cover on your travel insurance - ask for this to be excluded and for the premium to be reduced accordingly.
Check you have your tickets and passports. You'd be amazed how many people get to the ferry or Eurotunnel terminal and find they've left them behind.
Check what car equipment you will need for the country or countries you are driving through. This may include high-visibility jackets (kept in the car not in the boot); warning triangle; fist aid kit. You can get a kit from the AA Shop (AA European Travel Kit) which includes all these things as well as a set of headlight beam converters and a magnetic GB plate (both legal requirements) and a useful European Driver's Handbook, or buy them individually. You can also buy guide books and atlases to help you on your way! Most of this is, of course, common sense but it is easy in the excitement of arranging your trip to miss something vital.

Low-income Chicago neighborhoods will soon benefit from a joint effort from the Chicago Public Library, Knight Foundation and Google to bring "Internet to Go," a hotspot lending pilot program, to public libraries. Newly appointed Senate Energy Chair, Mattie Hunter supports the CPL's efforts to close the digital divide.
"Increasing Internet access in underserved communities will help residents become competitive. People, especially young people and job seekers, need digital literacy to enter the workforce. I hope the Chicago Public Library, Knight Foundation and Google expand the pilot program into communities such as Englewood and Bronzeville. I'm looking forward to efforts to bridge the technology gap in Chicago," Hunter said.
The Chicago Public Library Foundation received a $400,000 grant from the Knight Foundation and a $175,000 contribution from Google to provide "Internet to Go" to three public library locations.
The pilot program includes the Brighton Park, Greater Grand Crossing and Douglass branches. The program will allow residents to check out Wi-Fi hotspots on tablets and laptops by circulating roughly 100 hotspot devices across the city.
If the program is successful, Hunter hopes that services will be expanded to include new South Side communities.


text: When the Scottish League formed the Second Division in 1893, there was no automatic promotion and relegation between the sections. Instead, the re-election process that was used to regulate entry to the League itself was expanded to movement between the two divisions. Initially the bottom three clubs had to apply for re-election, but this was reduced to two from 1899. It was possible to bypass the Second Division completely and apply for a First Division place, Queens Park did so successfully in 1900, while the newly formed Aberdeen were not so fortunate in 1903 losing by only three votes to the Second Division champions Airdrieonians. A Second Division club had to have a great many friends to gain promotion. Hibernian had to win the championship two years running to be promoted, while Kilmarnock were beaten by Clyde on a second ballot, despite the Glasgow side finishing in the bottom two for three years in succession and winning only one game in 1897-98. The amateur clubs Queens Park and Port-Glasgow Athletic were both saved on several occasions before the outbreak of War in 1914. There were times when the proposal of automatic promotion was debated. Hearts proposed one up-one down at the 1907 AGM, but lost by 11 votes to 7. They proposed again in 1909, but received even fewer support. It was then agreed on in 1912, but by the time the AGM heard the proposal, bottom club St Mirren had already committed itself to a First Division wage bill, so the idea was shelved. During the Great War, the Second Division was first suspended, and then scrapped altogether. Those clubs left outside the League formed regional leagues, the strongest of which was the Central League. This new body, not being affiliated with the International League Board, could poach star players without the need to pay transfer fees. Crowds flocked to see these players, and although initially the Scottish League was unconcerned, there were waverers in the Management Committee. By 1921, these men convinced the League to give the Central League what they wanted to be part of the Scottish League (as the Second Division), and for automatic promotion and relegation to operate. The got their wish at a meeting of the two bodies on 11 May 1921, and in 1922, Alloa Athletic became the first club to be automatically promoted. One of the first victims of the new rule was Queens Park who had been saved a number of times by the old re-election process. The few times that the rule wasnt entirely enforced was when there was league reconstruction such as the divisions being expanded. When the Premier Division was created in 1975, ten clubs were promoted to Premier status and six moved up to the new First Division. Further reconstruction in 1994 saw the creation of a fourth tier when there was a big movement between the sections. Basically Stranraer leapfrogged five clubs into the First Division, the unfortunate sides all being relegated. When the Scottish Premier League was founded in 1998, the automatic rule was retained despite it being a separate league. The only difference was that all Premier grounds had to be of a certain standard. Unless a promoted club could attain the criteria set down (minimum seating of 10000 and undersoil heating), that club would be denied a place and there would be no relegation from the SPL. Many felt the 10000 seat rule to drastic, and it was later dropped to 6000, which is easier for more clubs to achieve, Since 2005, the Scottish League has reintroduce play-offs to determine som promotion places. It had previously used them between 1995 and 1997.

beef stroganoffPosted: September 24, 2013 Filed under: casseroles and one-dish meals, meats poultry and fish, The Best Of The Best Recipes | Tags: beef, butter, buttermilk, catsup, flour, garlic, mushrooms, noodles, onion, worcestershire sauce Leave a comment
From Russia, With Love
Turns out I didn't know much about savory stroganoff growing up; I surely didn't know how to spell it or make it … but I sure knew how to eat it!
While researching a bit for my first stroganoff post back in 2011, I learned that stroganoff (as it's name would imply) is a dish inspired from Russian cooking. I Googled "Russian Food Facts" and found this interesting passage …"Russia is mainly a northern country with a long-lasting cold winter. The food should give us much energy and warmth to survive during the winter time. So, the essential components of Russian cuisine are the ones, which provide more carbohydrates and fat rather than proteins."
Yup. Those are my roots – carbs and fat (light on the proteins). LOL. Enough of the history lesson – let's cook!
foodie tip ~
♥ Noodles or rice? Go for some wide noodles (shown) … nothing's better!
♥ For you stroganoff fans out there give Mom's Sausage Stroganoff recipe a whirl. It's a different take on this beef stroganoff, it's just as tasty and if you're in a hurry to get your stroganoff fix, it'll do the trick!
i. ingredients
¼ cup | flour
1 teaspoon | salt
⅛ teaspoon | pepper
1 ½ pounds | beef, cut into cubes
2 tablespoons | butter
1 cup | onion, sliced
1 clove | garlic, minced
½ cup | water
1 teaspoon | worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons | catsup
4-ounce can | button mushrooms
¾ cup | buttermilk
to serve | noodles or rice
ii. what to do
1. Combine flour, salt and pepper. Coat cubes of meat with this mixture.
2. In a large pan, brown the meat slowly with the butter. When the meat is brown on all sides, add the onion, garlic, water, worcestershire sauce, catsup and liquid drained from canned mushrooms. Cover and simmer for about 2 hours. Trust me, it's worth the time as the meat should finish out very tender!
3. Stir in the mushrooms and the buttermilk and cook only until heated through.
Serve over noodles or rice.
OK. I lied about no more history lessons!
As you can see by examples of my Mom's handwritten recipe cards here on Betty's Cook Nook, Betty had great penmanship. This morning I was admiring her handwriting in her recipe card above and noticed the funny little "ands" … Mom wrote them like a little "o" with a cross through it. A few online clicks later and I found out this character stems from shorthand – a form of abbreviated writing – that was invented before recording devices- back then the tape recorder. The connection to this recipe?
When I was growing up Mom was a court reporter. This meant she knew stenography (the process of writing in shorthand) and she was skilled at typing faster than the wind. Mom's business tools were much different from today's modern day tools; she often typed in duplicate and triplicate, making copies via carbon paper. To archive documents she made Xerox copy machine "copies" – not electronic scans. She had a typewriter – not a computer – until the early 1980s when technology started to transform her industry. I remember her first "green screen" IBM computer (sample above) … something that would completely revolutionize how she did work. And this funny little device called a stenomask she could place over her mouth to quietly repeat – almost in unison – what was being said in the court room; she could later come home and with a tape recorder and a "fancy" foot pedal device she could listen back-and-forth to court testimony while she typed it out the good ole fashioned way.
OK, now I'm done with the family history lessons. For now. :)
banana nut loaf cakePosted: May 6, 2012 Filed under: breakfast, desserts, sides, The Best Of The Best Recipes | Tags: baking powder, baking soda, banana, butter, buttermilk, eggs, flour, nuts, sugar, vanilla Leave a comment
Fresh From The Family Archives!
My cousin Julie revved-up her scanner and shot me some recipes from her San Antonio kitchen last week. This tasty banana nut loaf cake recipe was one of them… and hailed from Delores' kitchen (her handwriting is shown on the recipe below).
Julie's mom "Delores" was Mom's sister… and "magically," the Kiker family always referred to her as "Sister"… and her husband, "Uncle Bill."
Julie said: "This is another recipe I thought my Mom got from your Mom. She made it several times and then taught Jeannette how to make it. Jeannette made it probably a zillion times for her! My father just loved that banana bread ~ or at least my Mother thought he did!"
Let's Go Bananas!
i. ingredients
½ cup | butter, softened (use Falfurrias butter per my Grandmother Nanny)
1½ cup | sugar
2 | cage free eggs, beaten well
3 | bananas, mashed well
½ cup | nuts, finely ground (I like pecans)
½ teaspoon | baking soda
4 tablespoons | buttermilk
1½ cups | flour
1 teaspoon | baking powder
1 teaspoon | vanilla
ii. what to do
0. Soften your butter. See tip below!
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. In a large bowl, mix the first five ingredients.
3. Dissolve the soda in the buttermilk; add to the first five ingredients.
4. Mix the flour with the baking powder; add to the ingredients along with the vanilla and mix well.
5. Grease the bottom of a loaf pan (roughly 8.5″ x 4.5″ x 2.75″) then line the bottom of the pan with wax paper.
6. Pour batter into baking pan and bake at 350°F for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Foodie Tips ~
♥ Ahhh, softening butter. I'm usually in the heat of the moment before I realize I need room temperature butter but it's still in the fridge! If you're short on time and can't wait the 30-60 minutes for your butter to soften on the countertop, here are some helpful tips for how to accelerate things. I usually cut the butter into 1/2″ slices and set them near my preheating oven and usually in about 15 minutes things are ready to roll.
♥ This recipe was surely a family favorite ~ the measurements for how to make *three loaves* is noted in the original recipe below (see the circles)!
♥ Julie says this recipe is a good use for almost-bad bananas.
♥ You can also split this into two smaller loaves. I used foil pans that were 8″ x 3-7/8″ x 2.5″ and kept one and gave one as a gift.

Aluminum -vs- Vinyl/Steel
Is Aluminum that much better than vinyl or steel? The answer is yes! With the wide variety of underdecking and deck and patio ceiling systems on the market, aluminum is the material to go with. Our solid aluminum construction offers a host of benefits.
Benefits of Aluminum
- RainTight Deck Systems are made of high-quality aluminum, which is rigid and durable, making our product last a lifetime.
- RainTight Deck aluminum is both lightweight and strong. It can endure extreme temperature changes without resulting in flaws to the system.
- Our aluminum system is also strong enough to be used in areas that receive heavy snow and ice, which could damage and tear down vinyl systems.
- This extra strength is what allows our systems to support fans, lights and other accessories that can turn your outdoor area into your own personal oasis.
- RainTight Deck panels can be removed after installation to allow for access, repair, and cleaning.
- RainTight Decking comes in five different colors that are baked on and not painted on. This way the aluminum will not fade, rust or become brittle with age and exposure to the elements. They are also easy to clean.
- Vinyl is lightweight, but it has little structural strength.
- Vinyl can expand and contract with changing temperatures, which can cause cracks, gaps and other flaws in the system. These flaws will lead to an underdecking that is not watertight and susceptible to leaking. What good is it to spend your hard earned money on an underdecking system, if it is not watertight?
- Vinyl systems require reinforcement when spanning long distances. These reinforcements can act as areas that trap and hold water and debris that can cause damage to both the underdecking system as well as the deck structure above it.
- Steel is strong, but it is very heavy especially for a residential ceiling product. Steel must be galvanized or protected in some other way from rust. The cut ends and trimmed areas of a steel underdeck system are still susceptible to rust even if they are galvanized.
- Vinyl and Steel both have very limited color selections and in most cases just white or beige.

Knee pain can come in a variety of presentations. Whether from a sports injury, slip and fall, or out of the blue, no two knee injuries are completely alike. The extent to which tissues are damaged is specific to the patient's genetics, lifestyle, trauma, and fitness level. A well-trained athlete may be quite high functioning even with a serious tear, while a mild injury may keep a very sedentary person out of commission for several months.
Often times I will hear "hey doc, I think I might have heard a pop and the inside of my knee really hurts!". My first reaction is to suspect a ligament tear. Once examining the patient further however, orthopedic testing shows stable knee ligament testing, no swelling or redness, and no severe joint line tenderness. So what's the deal?
Like most soft tissue injuries, ligaments can be damaged to varying degrees. In the clinical world, there are 3 grades of ligament tears. Grade 1 is mild ligament damage, grade 2 is moderate, and grade 3 is severe/ruptured ligament tear. Common symptoms of a complete tear include sudden onset of pain and severe swelling, joint instability, and impaired function. The truth is, disruption of tendon fibers can happen to varying degrees. Think of muscle strains and ligament sprains on a spectrum of structural damage from 0 to 100%. The higher percentage of damage, the longer time it will take to establish preinjury performance levels.
Fortunately, if ligament stability is determined to be adequate by a healthcare professional, a conservative trial of care will often resolve symptoms. Ligaments in the body have the natural ability to heal on their own. Healing consists of 3 distinct phases including the inflammatory phase, the reparative phase, and the remodelling phase. Simply put, fibrotic scaffolding will be laid down so newly formed collagen can connect the severed ends of the tear. It is important to seek proper medical attention so that rehabilitation can begin as soon as possible.
For injuries of this nature, treatment will often begin with controlled range of motion exercises. Other modalities such a laser and acupuncture are helpful for enhancing healing at this stage. As tensile strength of the ligament improves, the joint will be able to tolerate more load. Eventually strengthening exercises will be included into the plan of management and progressed with increasing difficulty.
So if you or someone you know is worried that their knee pain may need surgical intervention, make sure you get it assessed by a medical professional who specializes in musculoskeletal injuries. It may be quite reassuring to know that with the right tools and knowledge the body will be able to heal and adapt on its own.

The truth about water damage is that it isn't just unsanitary and unsightly; it's unhealthy. Mold grows and spreads anywhere that moisture accumulates, produces allergens and irritants, and can ultimately drain our wallets in damage costs. So we want to make sure we're protecting our homes and bodies against this smelly, musty fungus.
Let's review some important principles about preventing mold and mildew from growing in our homes.
Control Humidity Levels
One of the most efficient ways to prevent mold from growing is to control humidity levels. It's easiest for mold to develop in warm and damp rooms such as the kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room. To lessen the moisture in these areas, utilize exhaust fans, air conditioning, or even a dehumidifier. Alternatively (and if the weather permits) you can open the windows and allow the fresh breeze to alleviate humidity.
Repair Leaks and/or Other Issues
You will want to be as thorough as possible as you inspect every nook and cranny for damage. Repair any leaky faucets or damaged gutters that may be present. If you have older pipes, replace them as soon as they begin to look disintegrated. This will keep moisture from needlessly leaking into your walls and causing mold to grow.
Act fast! Dry Spills and Wet Areas Immediately
Remember that mold only needs about twenty four hours to grow given the right conditions, so there's no time to waste! Disinfect and properly dry spills and accidents as soon as you find them. Keep wet clothes and laundry off of your carpets and wash them in a timely manner.
Above all, keep in mind that if you're ever concerned about the growth or spread of mold in your home, there are professionals available who are able to assist you. Never hesitate to contact a steam cleaning service, such as The Steam Team, to help rid your home of mold and mildew!

There are times you have to let people go. It doesn't mean you don't care, but you realize they don't.
"The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward."
― Steve Maraboli,
"Letting go doesn't mean that you don't care about someone anymore. It's just realizing that the only person you really have control over is yourself."
― Deborah Reber,
The wrong person won't think you're WORTH their love, loyalty or respect. So, they'll offer you something less. DON'T ACCEPT IT. Know your worth and move on.
If someone you love breaks your heart, keep moving on. it'll get better, and you'll get stronger.

Hey Arnold! The Jungle Movie Trailer
The trailer for Hey Arnold! The Jungle Movie is here. It is expected to pick up from where the series ended and will resolve unanswered plot lines of the story. For those who don't know this was a show that started around 1996 and ended in 2004. It was one of those cartoons that came on with Rugrats and Rocko's Modern Life on Nickelodeon. For many fans this will answer many questions that even I thought would just be left up for assumptions. For example Helga and Arnold. Would he finally find out she secretly loves him? Also what about Arnold parents? Based upon the trailer it looks like we will finally get some closure. Be sure to check this out this coming November 2017!

Signal Tutorial How To Make A Wood Signal
Since I became a home-owner a number of years ago, I always needed to build a Sauna. So with these makeshift tools we (and by we I imply C.J.) began beating up the wood. You will not discover a larger choice of fake wooden beams and different molded products anywhere. Portray on wood really is not loads completely different than painting on canvas, however there are some refined variations. In nature, Pecky Cypress has a unique texture that results from a certain fungus inhabiting the wooden.
It gave the wooden an excellent refined washed out look, but with out making it too white-washed. It irritates me after I learn the reviewers complaining about burning up their planks. I really like not having to worry concerning the planks buckling or getting broken once I'm having a slipshod day with gravity. The gaps can be crammed in with wooden putty, and use sandpaper to make the planks easy with each other.
Fortunately I was in a position to enlist my brother's assist and we slowly, piece by piece, removed the wooden deck and steel roof in at some point. Hold up to date with the latest PlankWood information including sale events, new Read more

CREB binding protein (CREBBP) is important for cell-autonomous regulation of hematopoiesis, including the stem cell compartment. Here we describe that CREBBP plays an equally pivotal role in microenvironment-mediated regulation of hematopoiesis. We found that the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment of Crebbp+/- mice was unable to properly maintain the immature stem - and progenitor pools. Instead, it stimulates myeloid differentiation that progresses into a myeloproliferation phenotype. Alterations in the BM microenvironment resulting from haploinsufficiency of Crebbp included a marked decrease in trabecular bone, predominantly caused by increased osteoclastogenesis. Although colony-forming unit-fibroblast and the total osteoblast numbers were decreased, the bone formation rate was similar to that found in wild-type mice. At a molecular level, we found that the known hematopoietic modulators MMP9 and KITL were decreased with heterozygous levels of Crebbp. Lastly, potentially important regulatory proteins (ESAM1 and CDH5) were increased on Crebbp+/- endothelial cells. Together, our findings reveal that a full dose of Crebbp is essential in the BM microenvironment to maintain proper hematopoiesis and prevent excessive myeloproliferation.

WoW Women in Wearable Tech | Melissa Koerner and Sarah Shapiro, Co-founders of Bezels & Bytes/
Interview by Marija Butkovic (@MarijaButkovic)
Bezels & Bytes was founded in 2016 by Melissa Koerner and Sarah Shapiro, two retail veterans from Gap and Bloomingdales. Based in San Francisco, Bezels & Bytes is on a mission to deliver"Style 2.0": helping modern, stylish women keep their technology at hand in a fashionable and personal way. Sarah and Melissa love retail. Sarah spent 10 years as a buyer at Bloomingdale's in NYC and Melissa was a marketer at Gap Inc. for 11 years. They are motivated by making women feel confident in what they wear.
Sarah is originally from Virginia and received her Bachelor of Science in fashion design and retail marketing at Syracuse University. She lives in the East Bay, is a mom to two toddlers, loves baking, and is obsessed with her San Francisco mommy bootcamp and spin classes. Melissa is originally from Singapore and grew up in Palos Verdes, California. She received her Bachelor of Science in economics from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and her MBA from UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business. She lives in San Francisco, is a mom to two toddlers, and serves on the board of directors for Raphael House, an organization that helps families struggling with homelessness.
What is the idea behind Bezels & Bytes and how did you come up with it?
Bezels & Bytes started when Melissa and I were introduced by mutual friends and noticed we were both wearing rubber trackers. We both have a background in the fashion industry, and we thought it was crazy that there wasn't a more stylish way to accessorize your wearable... so we decided to do it! After our initial lunch meeting, we quickly began brainstorming our business.
When did all start and do you have other members in your team?
We started in March 2014 and launched pre-sale via Indiegogo in January of 2015. By April of 2015, we were shipping and had our own e-commerce site. Melissa and I work full-time on B&B, and we work with other freelancers as needed for extra help.
How long did it take you to be where you are now?
It's been three years since our initial concept creating accessories for wearable tech. We are thrilled to most recently launch our collection of stylish Apple Watch Bands.
What was the biggest obstacle?
We are always chasing tech products. We see them when the rest of the world does, and we want to accessorize them as quickly as possible and put the Bezels & Bytes stamp on fun tech products.
What are your biggest achievements to date?
There have been a lot! But being in Women's Health Magazine as the Award for stylish wearable and featured in the Goop Holiday Guide were huge for us!!
What are the challenges of being an entrepreneur in the niche you are in? How about being a female founder / entrepreneur?
Neither of us has a tech background so we think about technology and hardware very differently. But we find that to be a plus. Balancing all parts of the business and constantly being faced with things we've never done before is a challenge. We try to find the experts in the field and ask lots of questions to learn as much as we can.
What will be the key trends in the wearable tech and fashion tech industry in the next 5 years and where do you see it heading?
We think devices will become smaller and more discreet. Being in San Francisco but from a Fashion background we really love to partner with tech companies. We also think there is a huge opportunity to continue to accessorize your technology. We see that a lot with our Apple Watch Bands and Fitbit bracelets and charms. Many of our customers buy multiple pieces at a time so they can keep switching up their style depending on their mood or what they are doing each day.
Is #WomenInTech movement important to you and if yes, why?
Yes, because we feel that women should be leading everywhere! Also, we are both moms to strong, independent young girls and can't wait to see where their smarts and personality take them.
What is the most important piece of advice you can give to all female founders and female entrepreneurs out there?
Support each other & keep pushing forward because you are doing awesome things! And reach out to everyone you want to talk to. You never know where it might lead.
Who are your 3 inspirational women in wearable tech and fashion tech?
Angela Ahrendts - I've been a fan of hers since she was at Burberry, and we love the Apple Retail experience.
Eva Chen - We've followed her for a long time. We loved her in the magazine world and felt like she really pioneered fashion on social media. She has so much fun with her style!
Amy McDonough - GM Fitbit Group Health. We love seeing Fitbit's innovation in corporate wellness and how Fitbit has motivated teams of people to stay fit together.

Orbiting Space Power Systems Would Convert Sunlight into Laser Beams
The SSPS project seeks to put a prototype space-based power system in orbit — 22,400 mi (36,000 km) above the equator — with the goal of harnessing the sun's energy to produce laser beams that would generate electricity or hydrogen on Earth through the intermediary of a terrestrial power station. The lasers — using plates built from a ceramic material containing chromium, which can absorb sunlight, and neodymium, which converts it into laser beams — outperformed earlier technologies four times over, demonstrating a solar-to-laser energy conversion efficiency of 42%.
The main advantage of using space-based power systems over terrestrial ones is that the former will not be subject to cloudy conditions or nighttime darkness, allowing them to collect solar energy 24 hours a day. The researchers estimate that a single satellite-mounted power system could generate as much energy as a 1-GW nuclear power plant by the time they send the first one into orbit in the next few decades.

FILE PHOTO: Former Nissan Motor Chariman Carlos Ghosn leaves the Tokyo Detention House in Tokyo, Japan April 25, 2019. REUTERS/Issei Kato
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Carlos Ghosn has launched a court case in the Netherlands against Japanese carmakers Nissan Motor (7201.T) and Mitsubishi Motors (7211.T), who ousted him as chairman of their alliance last year on charges of embezzlement, Dutch newspaper NRC reported on Saturday.
Ghosn is seeking 15 million euros ($16.8 million) in damages from the carmakers, as grave mistakes were made when he was sacked, NRC reported, citing his lawyer.
"In the Netherlands, if you want to fire an executive you have to first tell him what he's being accused of, and you have to provide him with the evidence for the accusations. Neither of those things has happened," lawyer Laurens de Graaf told NRC.
Ghosn fell from grace late last year when he was arrested in Japan and sacked by Nissan on charges of financial misconduct, which he denies. He has also been fired as the CEO and chairman of French carmaker Renault (RENA.PA).
Ghosn was freed in April from jail in Japan on a $4.5 million bail.
Among other charges of fraud and misconduct, Nissan and Mitsubishi have said Ghosn improperly received $9 million in compensation from their joint venture.
Suspect expenses Ghosn made when he chaired Renault and Nissan amounted to about 11 million euros, Renault's board said in June.
Ghosn holds French, Lebanese and Brazilian citizenship, but opted for the fiscally more friendly Netherlands as his tax domicile in 2012. The holding company for the Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance is also incorporated in the Netherlands.
The district court in Amsterdam is reviewing the case but has not set a trial date yet, NRC said.

UC started NAIDOC Week celebrations on a high with Family Day festivities taking place on the concourse on Sunday the 8th of July. This was the second year UC has hosted the NAIDOC event which featured live entertainment, free rides, food stalls, arts and crafts and free kids activities. It was a great day out for all and a wonderful way to kick off NAIDOC week.
Widening Participation, in collaboration with the Ngunnawal Centre and the Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience (AIME) attended the 2018 Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council NAIDOC Day on July 9. The day was held at Wreck Bay Village, near Jervis Bay and was hosted by the Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council to celebrate NAIDOC week.
NAIDOC week acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, history and achievements. This year the 2018 NAIDOC theme, 'Because of her, we can' celebrates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women who have impacted, shaped and influenced our communities and people. The 2018 theme acknowledges the significance and strength of female leaders in our society.
The event was open to the public and attracted 1000 attendees of all ages from various nearby communities. This was a great opportunity for UC to participate in NAIDOC activities and to contribute further to our positive relationship in the community.
Many people within this region have limited exposure to Higher Education options, and UC's involvement helps to break down barriers, and encourages Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to become more aware of opportunities through Higher Education.
