The main objective of canning is to preserve food in a stable form so that it can be stored and shipped to distant markets throughout the year. The study provides in-depth analysis of the global canned fruits market in terms of revenue USD million from 2013 to 2019.
Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/13/2015 -- The chief objective of canning fruits is to preserve its nutritional values in a stable form so that it can be used, stored, or shipped to different places throughout the year. When fruits picked fresh from the farms or domestic markets are canned they do not lose their nutritional forms. This is because canning is a method of preserving food contents in a processed and sealed container that is airtight by nature. Canning fruits halt the decomposition process until the metal container is opened again. This means, if fruits are packaged immediately after picking up from the markets, they can contain higher levels of vitamins and nutrients that could maintain a shelf life ranging from one to five years from the date of manufacturing.
Canned Fruits Market – Industry Insights and Benefits
Canned fruits are extremely convenient to use because they last for several months in a row and are available throughout the year, irrespective of the season. Canned fruits do not require refrigeration and can be stocked in your kitchen in case of emergency. Some fruits preserved in metal cans have added syrup or sugar content, while others are extremely high in sugar and sodium – all of which can affect your health in certain ways. Hence, it is recommended if you are purchasing canned fruits then seek for brands offering low sugar or sodium content. Canned fruits are regarded a good alternative if you cannot get fresh fruits from the market for any reason.

The market for canned food is driven by the increase in demand for canned food and their environmental benefits. The availability of various products and environment friendly raw materials are significant factors contributing towards the growth of this market.
However, in recent times, with the introduction of PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles and HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) materials in the packaging industry, the market for metal cans has lost its significance in terms of market shares, especially in the food and beverages segment. This market is stagnated due to growing health concerns among various consumers. The rising incidences such as diabetes have shunned the use of canned foods in favor of fresh food content. In addition, accessibility to alternative methods and stringent government regulations in the market for canned fruits act as major growth barriers to this market.
Canned Fruits Market: Regional Analysis
Geographically, North America and Europe were dominant leaders in the global canned fruits market in 2012. Together they accounted for more than 75% of the market shares. Europe dominated this market with nearly 45.2% share of the global demand in 2012, followed by North America with 34.5% shares for the same year. The factors driving these two markets are food safety concerns, preference for easy-packaged foods, and mundane lifestyles. While the European market will retain its position over the next six years, growth in North America is expected to slope down by 2019.

Asia-Pacific that comprises economies such as, India, Australia, Japan, and China have rising demands for canned fruits due to changes in their lifestyles, surging number of working women, expansion of foreign joint ventures, and improvements in trade scenario. All these are major factors contributing to the growth of this market.
Global & Future Prospect

This so called breeder sold me a sick cain corso dog,( which later cost me a fortune in health care) He stalked me like crazy for the remaining balance after we signed a contract for monthly payments.I paid off early because of the hasseling ( against my familys advice) he never forwarded the akc registered paper work and when I tried to contact him concerning the matter his phone number had been changed. Richard Wilson of E Lansdowne is the worst!
And he has a nerve to call himself a business man. Stay away from this guy and his dogs!

|I have had a tall sedum ('Red Cauli') for a couple of years. Instead of staying in a nice clump form like 'Autumn Joy', as it grows it flops and takes up too much space. Right now it is about 18" tall and just starting to form buds. If I pinch each stem back, can I keep it looking nice and will it form new buds? I guess I want it to look like Autumn Joy but with different color flowers
May 29, 2013 7:36 AM CST
|Do you water it? If you can, try not watering it, or water it much less. This may be a problem if you are in a wetter climate than me.
Although it won't ever be as straight up as Autumn Joy. When it gets less water the stems don't flop, but they do curl outwards.
This is mine with minimal water and in a very dry climate:

|My subject should have been: Can tall sedum be cut back to prevent flopping? [Not "untitled"] Last year when 'Red Cauli' flopped so badly, we had very little rain, and it was in a bed with daylilies, which should have been watered, but were not. So I don't think over-watering was the problem. I live in Minnesota. I think I'll try cutting back a few stems and see if they recover and get new buds.
May 30, 2013 8:14 AM CST
|They'll get new buds if you cut them back. Mine was devastated by hail which broke off all the stems and it sent up side shoots off the broken stems. In the end I don't think it was any shorter, but the blooms were smaller.

|Your thread is not titled.
By the way, I just realized you are new to ATP. So a big to you. And so glad you found your way here.
I've never had to cut any of my tall sedum back, but I know that you can pinch them back when plants are about 8" tall, no later than mid
June. Pinch back to 4–6", leaving 2–3 nodes to produce lateral branching.
It will produce smaller blooms, the more blooms the smaller they will be.
Hope this helps.

The Fate of The Fast Charge: How Fast is The Honor Magic?
by Dec 17, 2016 2:22 am0
Yesterday was a big day for Huawei sub-brand, Honor, as they launched their new phone called the Honor Magic and also celebrated their third year anniversary.
The Honor Magic has been receiving positive reviews following its announcement. The design stands out and the build quality is great. It also packs some powerful hardware specs even though they are not the latest in the market right now. One of its strong points is its battery and fast charge technology which was first announced a while back. During the launch, it was mentioned that the Honor Magic's 2900mAh battery can charge from 0 to 90% in just 30 minutes with its accompanying 5V/8A (40W) charger. Trust that someone had to confirm that claim.
The charge test was carried out by Pan Jiutang and the results are as follows:
- 5 minutes of charge = 24% battery level
- 10 minutes of charge = 43% battery level
- 20 minutes of charge = 70% battery level
- 30 minutes of charge = 89% battery level
Impressive right? Yes it is. Pan Jiutang says even during the charging process, the phone only got a little warm.
According to Honor, the charger, the cable, and the phone have a built-in smart IC chip that controls the charging temperature and provides an end-to-end protection to allow for fast and safe charging.
RELATED: OnePlus 3 Dash Charge Floors Samsung Galaxy S7's Fast Charge in Test Video
To sum it up, if you want to take advantage of the safe and fast charge feature of the Honor Magic, you will have to use the accompanying charger. We hope Honor makes it possible for owners to purchase the charger separately in case they lose it or want a spare.
Currently the fast charge technology of the Honor Magic makes it the fastest in the market right now. But we should expect more tests against other fast charge technologies like OnePlus's Dash Charge and the Pixel's USB-C Power Delivery.

The Vision Of The Archangels - Poem by Rupert Brooke
Slowly up silent peaks, the white edge of the world,
Trod four archangels, clear against the unheeding sky,
Bearing, with quiet even steps, and great wings furled,
A little dingy coffin; where a child must lie,
It was so tiny. (Yet, you had fancied, God could never
Have bidden a child turn from the spring and the sunlight,
And shut him in that lonely shell, to drop for ever
Into the emptiness and silence, into the night.…)
They then from the sheer summit cast, and watched it fall,
Through unknown glooms, that frail black coffin—and therein
God's little pitiful Body lying, worn and thin,
And curled up like some crumpled, lonely flower petal—
Till it was no more visible; then turned again
With sorrowful quiet faces downward to the plain.

Anyone interested in link exchange? Let us know.
Anyone interested in link exchange? Let us know.
I personally went the route of using autosurf programs like http://www.topsurfing.net these have helped my sites get up in the rankings very fast.
Best topic for all SEO :P
Mark Rosenthal
I have not been on this forum in years and it wont allow me to delete my outdated old post. If you want to contact me, you can find me on Linkedin at https://www.linkedin.com/in/connectwithmarkrosenthal/
There are lots of best ways to improve rankings rather than exchanging links. We all know that the Google's algorithm went to a "Panda update". It is because they want to eliminate getting unnatural links from other websites same with buying links. I know that you heard about JC Penney's paid link penalty. I suggest that you should do organic link building like building your profile in the way of Guest Posting, Social Bookmarking, Social Media, Press Releases, Forum or Webinar Participation, and many more.
Yes we have figured that out. Google always changing!
Links Exchange? Is it still effective by far?
I'm not a fan of link exchanging. Occasional exchanges are ok but as with many things in search, too much and google sees through it.
Link exchanging is frowned upon by google. If your looking to generic backlinks quickly try using these guys. Very reasonably priced, all white hat and they deliver actual results. I've used them a few times now. Will again as well.
A wuick update on this. There has been a new algorithm launched and this now rates links lower than previoustly. It's more important to have the right sort of content.

We arrived on a Sunday and was a worried about shopping as we knew the shops closed at 2.pm, but on arrival we were given a starter pack water cheese bread tea coffee fruit juice etc.
The property was clean and comfortable. The air conditioning was remote controlled and worked very well. The property is secure and we felt very safe there are several keys but we didnt find this a problem. The property is well maintained and the garden leading on to tbe beach was ideal.The staff were friendly and our room was cleaned daily and fresh towels were always available for the room and the beach.

Alright, who is up for an amazingly awesome giveaway? Raise your hands! Boy, do I have something in store for you!
Last month, I was given the opportunity to review a product for a pretty great shop. Not only did doing so turn me onto their company but it also provided my children with an extra holiday gift. Unbeknownst to me, this gift turned into a life saver throughout the frigid weather and then some. As the mother of two boys, time spent cooped up indoors is an experience that can, at times, nearly make me want to pull my hair out or scream at the top of my lungs. Both actions, of course, being big "no-no's" in our home. Boys, or at least my boys, very rarely sit still. Playing with cars becomes a destruction derby event, blocks get repeatedly knocked down, and the kids are still trying to comprehend the fact that, despite their best efforts, they cannot actually fly. Getting them to play nicely, peacefully, and quietly together is a task that is much easier said than done. Thankfully, that is where Magic Cabin comes in.
We were given the opportunity to review the Magic Cabin Spiro Bouncer. As a new-age seesaw that combines bouncing and spinning into the mix of the classic up-and-down motion toy. The thing that hooked me is its ease of use and its ability to be used anywhere that it will adequately fit. In the midst of winter and with the cool temperatures upon us, we set ours up indoors. The kids absolutely LOVE it! It's great that it allows them to play safely and warmly inside while burning their pent up, winter-blues energy.
Check out my full review over on the Eighty MPH Mom website to read in depth and don't forget to enter for your chance to win a Spiro Bouncer of your very own! A $99 value, yours for free! The contest runs through the weekend and one lucky winner will be chosen to start their New Year off magically with Magic Cabin!

Opposition Leader Bill Shorten concedes Queensland Labor has a "steep mountain to climb" in the looming state election.
But he says voters want a leader who understands ordinary Queenslanders, and that's why Annastacia Palaszczuk is doing so well.
Mr Shorten hit the campaign trail with state Opposition Leader Ms Palaszczuk in Brisbane on Sunday.
He says the election will be a tough battle, with Labor handed just 10 per cent of Queensland parliament in the last vote.
"It's a very steep mountain that Annastacia Palaszczuk has to climb," Mr Shorten told reporters.
"But for goodness sakes, if you hand Campbell Newman the same whopping majority then you're going to get three and four more years of the terrible cuts, the high unemployment and the cuts to the quality of life for Queensland."
He also says Premier Campbell Newman is a mouthpiece for Prime Minister Tony Abbott, who is in "witness protection" during the campaign.
"Whenever you scratch the surface of Campbell Newman, you get Tony Abbott," he said.
"True leaders do not run when the going gets hard."
Ms Palaszczuk says she's focused on winning the election, and has also asked Mr Shorten to accompany her while campaigning in regional Queensland.

Charles Loring Brace and the Orphan Trains
Rodzina Brodski is one of thousands of orphaned children who were sent West to find homes from 1845 to 1929. She is the heroine of my novel Rodzina. Here's some of the factual background behind the orphan trains.
This article about the Children's Aid Society recounts the history of Charles Loring Brace, the man who faced head-on the heavy immigration to the United States after the 1840 famine in Europe. With so many orphaned and abandoned children in New York City, Brace saw the need to establish an organization to get them off the streets. He was the mover behind the orphan trains, seeking to find homes for the children.
"Critical of congregate institutions such as orphanages and almshouses, Brace thought that the rigid discipline of those institutions sapped a child's self-reliant spirit, and that charity only encouraged children to remain dependent. Alternatively, the Children's Aid Society opened low-cost lodging houses for boys and girls, set up reading rooms and "fresh air" camps for their benefit, and established industrial schools to prepare them for employment and self-sufficiency."
The photo above, which shows the CAS training children for office jobs, is one of a number available on Harvard University's website depicting the Children's Aid Society in its early years. The organization still exists today. It is considered to be one of the top children's charities in the country.
The Polish word for family
Q: Choosing names. Is there a story behind the names you've chosen for your characters? (e.g., Brat becomes Beetle becomes Alyce)
A: There is no good answer to this question. Names just pop into my head, often before the story does. But there is a story behind Rodzina: When I was ten, my Grandma Lipski took me to the Polish cemetery in Chicago to show me her mother's grave. In front of a gravestone marked Rodzina Czerwinski, she sat and cried. Many years later when I was writing a book about a Polish girl from Chicago, I decided to call her Rodzina after my great-grandmother. I checked with my father to make sure I had the spelling correct, and he told me that rodzina was not her first name but was the Polish word for family. The gravestone marked the resting place of the rodzins Czerwinski, or Czerwinski family. The book Rodzina is all about the search for family, so I decided that while Rodzina was not my great- grandmother's name, it was the perfect name for the girl in my story. And so she is Rodzina.
Frightened and brave and hopeful
From a recent interview:
Question: You were born in and spent the early part of your childhood in Illinois. What drew you to writing about Rodzina, who set off on an orphan train from Chicago to an unknown home?
Answer: In a bookstore in Berkeley, I found a book about the orphan trains. The cover showed a giant locomotive and a line of children, holding little suitcases. Their faces were so frightened and brave and hopeful. I knew there was a book there, and I was right.

Norman Lofts' 47 minute movie on Michael Schmidt and the raw milk story will be shown again on CBC Newsworld in January, according to Sarah Gopaul's story dated Oct. 30 on This Magazine blog. Here's an excerpt from an interview she did with filmmaker Norman Lofts:
"…. One question that had to be asked was did Lofts have a personal interest in Schmidt's story prior to shooting; i.e. is he a raw milk consumer? "No, I'm not a raw milk consumer. I'm not even a milk consumer. I think I'm the best person to make the film because I don't drink milk." Lofts was actually made aware of the issue the way most other Canadians were – he saw the newspaper article detailing the raid on Schmidt's farm by 25-armed police officers. His shock convinced him to follow the story's developments. "I thought I'm just going to start to follow this story with my camera and see how it unfolds, see if there's a real story here. I started to do that… and I could see that [Michael] was a really interesting, charismatic character and that's what you need to make a story work. So I finally approached him and had that first interview about three weeks after the raid."
That was two years ago. "It's going to be an ongoing story for many years before I think Michael can get anywhere near the goal he is trying to reach. And we'll see what happens to him before that: will he end up in jail; will they shutdown his farm? But I really wanted to get out an initial film and documentary about Michael.
"There is a broader story here. In 45 minutes, you can't get into everything. But it is important that people start to think about the source of their food."
An equally important question addressed an element obviously missing from the documentary. Why did Lofts interview several people from the scientific and medical community who were firmly against the consumption of unpasteurized milk but no one from the same community is shown speaking in favour of it? "Well, that's because it's very difficult to find somebody from the medical and government health unit who will talk about raw milk." Lofts explained that even Schmidt's lawyers failed to find anyone, from the U.S. or Canada, willing to testify at his trial in January. The problem is compounded by the lack of financial support for research into the benefits of raw milk.
Lofts is seeking funding to release a sequel to Organic Hero or Bioterrorist, which would encompass Schmidt's trial as well as expand the focus to other issues, such as the summer passing of a law in Quebec that rescinds the 60-day aging period for raw milk cheeses from artisanal producers. "It won't be just another story about the continuing saga of Michael Schmidt."
Lofts is also looking at building on his interest in food documentaries with a more general look at the problems with "sustainable organic nutritious healthy food" or as Michael Pollan says, "real food." With all the recalls and label deception, Lofts poses the question: "Why haven't Canadian consumers turned their backs on industrial food more and embraced real food?"
If you missed Michael Schmidt: Organic Hero or Bioterrorist at Planet in Focus or on CBC Newsworld Tuesday night, "The Lens" will be re-airing it in January, closer to Schmidt's trial date"
Once again, here's that link to the original story, well actually it's a link to the This Magazine site. You may have to scroll down to find the story.

"We don't find vulgarity funny."
I should have known that's what my mother would say when I offered to share a Comedy Central video clip that I had to preface by asking her not to be offended. I should have possibly rethought my decision to show (with my children watching, in fact reciting the clip word for word) a video entitled Drunk History. But, come on, what's not funny about drunk people explaining historical events?
Click here to see for yourself.
And my mom's response? "Well, that's an interesting type of humor to teach your children. Now they know what drunk people sound like."
At moments like that, I wonder how can I truly be a product of this family?
Can I help it if I appreciate the strategic use of a handheld fart machine? Is it my fault that I believe an F-bomb dropped for effect can be, well, effective? Is it so bad that my daughter was in only the 4th grade when she was teaching Cheech and Chong's "Sister Mary Elephant" to her fellow students on the Catholic School playground? Is it so wrong that How I Met Your Mother is considered family entertainment at my house? Ok, it probably is wrong. In fact, when my oldest two were the age my youngest two are now, I wouldn't have permitted it. I remember my very first viewing of Family Guy with my oldest. I hated it. I thought it was unnecessarily, stupidly vulgar. I was disgusted with the movie, Anchor Man the first time I saw it, but just this week actually paid for all of us to see the sequel. In truth, I was pretty disgusted with that too, and I will never get those 2 and a half hours back or the IQ points I lost watching it. However, it was 2 and a half hours spent with my children belly laughing and that is priceless.
It seems the older I get, the less my appropriateness filter works. That fact was proven over Christmas when my kids and I were playing the Awkward Family Photos card game. The picture was of an unattractive man in a disturbingly tight Speedo, standing in a flower garden and holding a bouquet. The question asked for a title, and before I could stop myself, I responded, "Scratch and Sniff." In front of my children. And their friends. I'm not sure if the teens laughed more at my own embarrassment or theirs. But, hey, at least I was adequately embarrassed by my lack of filter. I'm sure my mother would not have laughed at all. In fact, she might have disowned me or at least put my name before her prayer group...again.
Now, before you all judge me too harshly, let me just say that we really dig the high brow stuff, too. We can chuckle inwardly at sophisticated wit. We really can. In fact, unless you understand the intellectual irony of Abe Lincoln dropping the f-bomb, you really can't fully enjoy the humor of Drunk History, right?
I wonder at what age we can stop worrying about offending our parents with our language or off-colored jokes, or appreciation of vulgar humor. I also wonder where I got the idea of weighing the funny against the inappropriate, and if the funny factor weighs heavier, well... I sure didn't get it from Mom and Dad.
Seriously though, how am I a product of my parents?
Come to think of it, I wonder what our neighborhood milk man's sense of humor was like back in the fall of '68? Dad was out of town a lot.
Ooops, sorry. That wasn't funny. Was it, Mom?

Dancing Stars
Jenny is in bed poorly so I have been confined to barracks today playing mum. However every time she has fallen asleep I have nipped downstairs to start cutting pieces for the new quilt. Yesterday at the Fat Quarters I chose these black and white fabrics to make a cozy strip club quilt called Dancing Stars. I was inspired by Margaret making one last year for her grandson, it looked fab, so here goes. Because I am not making it from a jelly roll, the cutting out is a bit tedious, 60 x 2 1/2 inch strips. I have chosen a bright turquoise blue for the stars to match Michael's bedroom as this is for him. Quilts for big boys are much harder to find but I think this is a really masculine pattern. The Friday afternoon class at the Fat Quarters was very industrious yesterday, Margaret working on 2 quilts, one of them a Baltimore. Will it slow her down? Julie is still working away at her block of the month by Leanne Beasley, Janet has started a new appliqued quilt with Kim, Helen and Dawn were doing stitcheries. It was nice to see Irene back on a Friday too.
Thanks to the Joneses for the gift voucher for my birthday. At least you can see what I spent it on here.
Over the holidays I have also finished the hatched and patched wall hanging so here it is to show off.

Good Luck with the quilt, Andrew (Margaret's Grandson) loves his. He has it on his bed all the time although you often can't see it for all the mess he manages to pile on top of it! Nothing will slow my mother down.....she loves life too much!

A lot of people often ask me how to fix a phone jack. Telephone jacks, or phone jacks can last many years without giving you any problems, but when they break down, I usually recommend that the jack be replaced. The following are the procedures I suggest to replace a wall jack:
- Find the network interface device (NID) which is a small plastic box mounted by the telephone company on a wall just outside your home.
- Open the NID cover, find the short telephone cable (about 2 inches long) inside and unplug the cable from its jack.
- Go to the telephone jack that you need to replace, unscrew its cover plate (for flush type jacks) or pry its cover open (for surface mount jacks). Unscrew (counterclockwise) each wire and remove the wires from the jack.
- Remove the jack by unscrewing the surface mount jack from the wall, or by prying out the jack from behind the cover plate of a flush mount jack.
- Connect the wires to the new jack by wrapping each colored wire clockwise around its matching color-coded terminal screw and tighten each screw firmly.
- Screw the new surface mount phone jack back onto the wall, or snap the jack onto its slot behind the cover plate of a flush type phone jack.
- Plug the short telephone cord inside the NID back into its jack to resume power and signals from the telephone company. Plug a telephone into the new wall jack and call your friend to test the connection.

I had my trophy series run yesterday. I matched my goal. I ran the 4.4 miles at Washington Park in 26:45. The official time is off by a few seconds, but the distance is off too. I ran 4.55 miles. I was hoping to run a little faster.
Here is my mile splits:
Mile 1: 5:27, Mile 2: 5:54, Mile 3: 5:56, Mile 4: 6:06, Mile .4: 3:22
As usual, I took off too fast!! My first mile was one of my fastest in a long time. I was planning on running fast, but at a more even pace.

Dec 17, 2004 - Kratie, Cambodia
Near the town of Kratie is Kampie, a place right by the Mekong River. I took a motorcycle to this spot and then a boat to look at the Irrawaddy dolphins. They are very rare freshwater dolphins that live in only a couple of places in the world. There are only about 20 or so living in this area. They look a bit like beluga whales, because they have such a round, snub nosed face. I don't have any pictures because they are quite shy and don't come too close to boats. However, I saw quite a few swimming in pairs and surfacing to breathe not too...Jump to full entry

Dec 1, 2004 - Kratie
Today I did a quick trip up the Kratie, which is on the Mekong. Kratie is a medium size city by Cambodian standards but it is surrounded by rice fields and sparse forest. The town of Kratie was not that special, however the surrounding countryside was a great relief from the congestion of Siem Reap and Phnom Penh. The main draw of Kratie is that it is one of the only places you can see the endangered Irrawaddy freshwater dolphins. At one time they thought there were about 1000 dolphins in Cambodia and Laos, however the civil war and fishing...Jump to full entry

Nov 30, 2004 - Kratie - fresh water dolphins
Another early morning went by. We caught the fast boat to Kratie, a town which was all about fresh-water dolphins in the Mekong River. We watched the dolphins from a boat, but it was impossible to get a nice shot, so I'll leave it up to your imagination. We saw another beautiful sunset from the riverside.Jump to full entry

Sep 27, 2004 - Crossing the Mekong to Cambodia
The border crossing was easy. We were warned of being ripped off and having to bribe each Officer but we just did a bit of scheming ourselves and we got through with only having to pay 2 dollars to Laos and 1 to Cambodia. The serious money came when we took a boat down to Stung Treng which is the first town you get to. Betty, Deb and I took a ridiculously fast speed boat down the Mekong passing half drowned trees for 35 Dollars! We have been used to paying 2-3 Dollars each!

Jul 4, 2004 - Speedboating up the Mekong (Kratie, Cambodia)
From Siem Reap we took a bus bound for Phnom Pehn. Enroute we met a group of 5 students all getting their MBAs in Singapore. They too were headed for Laos so we got off the bus a little over half way and made our way to the Lao boarder as a group of seven: 3 Portuguese, 1 Isralli, 1 Italian, and now 2 Americans. This was definately not the typical route for most backpackers. We managed to get a ride to where we wanted to go.

Everyone, it seems, is fascinated by Joan of Arc.
We've had Maxwell Anderson's Joan. We've had Jean Anouilh's. We've had Shaw's and others. None, arguably, work very well on stage, mostly because Joan is approached with such reverence .
A lot of people, especially actors, would strongly dispute this. Joan, they would tell you, was a peasant. They would quibble over the definition of reverence. But playing Joan with reverence doesn't always mean playing her as a saint. You can play her as a tomboy--as the earthy young girl who tended her father's livestock--and still play her with entirely too much reverence.
Playing with reverence simply means playing with too much awe , whether you're playing Mother Teresa or "The Member of the Wedding's" Frankie Addams.

In Andong, it's impossible to walk around town and not see a giant poster of a masked man bearing a wild grin. It's the only way I can describe it. It's slightly eerie but at the same time, intriguing. The drunk. He's the Maskdance character that everyone loves -- I mean, we can all relate, right? While the official Andong Maskdance Festival doesn't occur until September and October, you can catch a glimpse of the performance at the Hahoe folk village, just outside of Andong. Last weekend, a few of my friends and I went there for our friend Joanne's birthday. She usually goes to Seoul to visit her family every weekend (she's half Korean), so it was fun stealing her away for once.
Hahoe is pronounced ha-hway-mal -- mal, meaning "village." Ha means "river" and hoe means "turning around." From an aerial view, you can see the way the river curves around the village. Pretty cool. It's a really fascinating folk village for several reasons: First, it's a one-family village. The Ryu family alone has lived there for 600 years. In order to live in Hahoe, you gotta marry in. Alex has said that he is going to find himself a Hahoe woman so that he can live there. But you know what? I'm okay with that. I'll just find myself a Hahoe man. Problem solved.
The village is also unique in that, rather than having the front doors of all the houses facing south or south-east as most Korean homes are (which allows for a warmer house in the winter and a cooler house in the summer), Hahoe homes all face out toward the curving river that hems them in. This has also helped to preserve the village, because it has prevented sneak attacks from enemies.
The lovely Queen Elizabeth II also held her 73rd birthday party at Hahoe. I'm assuming the woman knows how to throw a pretty snazzy shindig, so, for her to choose Hahoe as the party locale makes it pretty cool in my book.
And finally, no other folk village has a mask dance. At least, if they do, it's not like this one. Like I said, Andong is famous for their annual Maskdance Festival in the Fall, but the Hahoe folks stage a mini-performance of this renowned dance daily. Let me just tell you -- it rocks. Several of my friends were pulled in to be a part of the performance (So if you're not into that, beware of sitting in the front row). It was a lot of fun.
Some of the maskdance characters and I. I personally loved the halimoni (grandma--below).
Alex swings on the giant swing like a pro. And then there's me.

Tramadol Cost More Lives Than Heroin And Cocaine
You suffer with moderate chronic pain. Some days you are in such agony that ordinary over-the-counter painkillers just don't bring the relief you need to carry on with your daily activities…
Finally, after some convincing your doctor prescribes a common opioid painkiller, tramadol, to help ease your pain. He even tells you that this drug is a "safe option" painkiller.
Hold your horses…
A few years ago, this powerful painkiller made headlines when it was reported that deaths from tramadol overdose have soared from just one in 1996 to 154 in 2011. More than 500 people died from tramadol overdoses between 2006 and 2011.
In 2013, tramadol hit the spotlight again, when John Bowker told the horrifying story of how his wife died within half an hour after accidentally taking an extra dose of the painkiller.
John told how he had been laughing and joking with his wife Lizz 20 minutes before he found her lifeless body. He said: "She'd been sorting out her weekly pill box and I think she just got confused and took two doses".
Lizz, 57, a mother of three, died from an accidental overdose of the opioid painkiller tramadol, which she'd been taking for the previous year for back pain and leg ulcers. She had taken just two more tablets from her usual daily dose of eight 50mg tablets.
Tragically, her death is by no means an isolated case and highlights the dangers associated with a drug still regarded as the "safer" option… when it is anything but!
In fact, a few weeks ago a leading pathologist warned that tramadol is killing more people than heroin and cocaine… and instead of being classed as a Class C drug — deemed among the least harmful — it should be reclassified as a Class A drug.
In a television interview Professor Jack Crane, state pathologist for Northern Ireland, said: "I don't think that people realise how potentially risky taking Tramadol is. I think it's because it's a prescription drug – people assume it is safe".
To make matters worse, campaigners believe an increasing amount of people are looking towards the black market to get their hands on the drug. Professor Crane believes more people will die unless action is taken to crackdown on illegal sales.
If you are taking tramadol (also sold under the brand names Tilodol, Tradore, Tramquel, and Zydol) make sure that you always follow the prescription guidelines and never exceed the recommended dose.

Cinnamon Works to Avert Alzheimer's
A favorite childhood spice
Isn't it great when the simple things in life turn out to be the best. When the classic things that we all did as kids come back and take their rightful place in the limelight. Take cinnamon for instance. Adding this wonderful substance to a cup of hot chocolate or putting a sprinkle of it on a piece of pumpkin pie just makes it a little better. We all did it. But way back then, cinnamon simply was a spice. It was stocked in almost everyone's spice cabinet.
Nowadays though, cinnamon might stop or even prevent Alzheimer's. The University of California at Santa Barbara has confirmed that cinnamon helps protect against Alzheimer's disease.
Breathe deeply and enjoy that cinnamon smell.
So breathe deeply and think about the wonderful smell of cinnamon, because it's actually that undeniable odor that gives it a kind of super power and is the secret to this powerful little food. According to a study just published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, this smell is created by antioxidants. We all know that antioxidants are good for us. It's these very antioxidants that help to defend against mental damage.
Do you use cinnamon?
How Often Do You Use Cinnamon?
Cinnamon coffee with a cinnamon roll!
Cinnamon protects your brain against tau proteins.
It's kind of like putting on sunblock against the sun. The components that make up cinnamon act kind of like a hat against the formation of tau proteins in the brain. "If you wore a hat, you could protect your face and head from oxidation (from the sun). In a sense, cinnamon is like a cap," says Roshni Graves, of the university's Department of Molecular Cellular and Developmental Biology.
So, stock up on cinnamon. Put a sprinkle in your coffee or brush your teeth with some. My favorite is chewing on a stick of raw cinnamon.

Business Improvement District vice President Robin Odabash Brown and member Khalid Mansoor ( owner of Healthway Natuaral Foods store ) presented a promotional initiative proposing that promotional banners will adorn poles in the Tenafly downtown directing residents and shoppers to buy, eat, and play local.
This initiative is part of a growing trend to promote local shopping as seen in various Bergen County towns.
The initiative is looking to purchase 56 banners that are 5 feet tall and 2 1/2 feet wide and placed 12 feet above the curb line hung on utility poles. BID members hope this initiative will usher people into the shopping districts around the town. The banners are green and orange, show various pictures illustrating all the activities in the town, and sport the BID's "Your Town, Our Town" tagline.
The BID's goal is to have the banners up when Christmas and holiday decorations come down. Brown hopes the banners will dress up the town during the more "dreary" parts of the year after the holidays.
Officials are slated to discuss the banners again in 2014.

Everton are hoping to unveil Darron Gibson as their latest signing before the weekend after agreeing a £2million deal.
The Manchester United and Republic of Ireland midfielder held talks with Blues boss David Moyes on Thursday and shook hands on a four-year contract worth around £40,000 a week.
Gibson will now complete a medical and confirm the fine points of the contract to complete his move.
He will be Everton's second signing of the January transfer window following the capture of Landon Donovan on loan from MLS champions Los Angeles Galaxy.
Moyes has been tracking the midfielder for some time, after it emerged United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was prepared to let him leave Old Trafford.
He viewed the 24-year-old as an ideal replacement for Mikel Arteta, but he Spaniard's move to Arsenal happened too late in the summer window for an agreement to be reached.
Now, Moyes is using the little cash he has remaining from the Arteta deal to bring in Gibson, who has made 60 appearances for United in his six years with the club, to Merseyside.
While he ultimately failed to make a serious impact at Old Trafford, Gibson showed enough to retain the faith of Ferguson – who played him in the Champions League semi final last season. He also got a Premier League winners' medal last season.
But the pair fell out in the summer after the player made clear his determination to allow his contract to run down and become a free agent next summer.
Everton have agreed to pay the fee so United get a return on a player they have developed since his teens.
Moyes wants a striker too, but accepts he may not be able to find the standard of player required in the current window.
Instead, he will turn his sights on finding a centre-half, as first-choice pairing Phil Jagielka and Sylvain Distin are currently both injured.
Gibson almost signed for Sunderland last summer in a £4.5m deal, but talks broke down over his wage demands.
Everton were quick to agree terms on Thursday and, barring the small print on the contract, should unveil the player on Friday, with Moyes looking to get him in the squad for the weekend clash with Aston Villa.

|The name of their trains. Hee hee. Looks like genitalia.
The lines to buy tickets at the train station ticket windows are very long. You pull a number like you're at the deli and wait for them to call it. (I got some cold cuts!!) There are also automated ticket kiosks, which are even more confusing. I tried to buy tickets but it looked like the time I wanted was sold out, but then it turned out that was for first class. Agh! I preferred to talk to a human to make sure we were going to the right place.
We left Milan at 8:35 a.m. and arrived in Venice just after 11 a.m. I had printed directions to each of our hotels. This one was way off. It had us going in the exact opposite direction of our actual hotel. It was near 80 degrees and we were dragging our luggage over cobblestone streets and up and down stairs.
I am not afraid to ask for directions. I went into a bus station and asked at the counter. The woman probably gets asked for directions a million times a day and was none too happy to see me. Her response to me was an emphatic, "Go back to the train station!" Okay…
We finally walked toward a canal and asked a water taxi driver for a ride. His response? "Why take a taxi? You can walk from here!" He gave us easy directions and saved us some money. I later learned water taxis cost around $40-$50.
We made it to the hotel around 12:30 p.m. This one was really pretty –the Pallazzo Cendon Piano Antico. Very quaint, small, but cozy, and if you stick your head out the window, you can see a canal!
|View from our hotel window
After dropping off our bags we spent the rest of the day wandering around. A.k.a. - getting lost. That's what you do in Venice. It's a bunch of small streets all strung together. Most of them do not have street signs so even though you have a map, you have no idea where you are. We just enjoyed looking at all of the shops. We quickly found a cute shop with scarves and each bought one.
Then we noticed the purses. Well, I noticed the purses. Leather everywhere! I decided to get one for my niece, Megan. I wanted just the right one. Medium color, smallish in size with a long strap. I also wanted it to have a "Made in Italy" and fleur-de-lis stamp. After stopping at maybe 20 shops, I finally found the perfect one. Although after I bought it, I couldn't resist looking now and then at others to check the prices. Julie just shook her head when I would stop to look at another purse.
We took a break for lunch and had focaccia pizza and our daily gelato. They had all types of flavors, but I stuck with my favorite – chocolate. I think once I might have branched out with chocolate with hazelnut.
We had a photo op at the famed Rialto Bridge. We then found a restaurant that had a tourist special of a three-course dinner for 15 euros. Caffe Centrale. It was right on the Grand Canal. I asked the waiter if the price was "for real." Haha He was very cute and resembled Mr. Magoo from the cartoons.
|Linda on the Rialto Bridge
|Dinner along the canal
My first course was a salad, followed by spaghetti with seafood (mussels, tiny shrimp, calamari and squid), followed by sea bass. And bread. Must have bread! What a beautiful view!
|I ate every bite. Even the squid!
|My view from our dinner table.
After dinner the waiter gave us directions to the Aman Canal Grande Hotel, which was right down the canal from our restaurant. That is where George Clooney was getting married in a few days. The canal walkway ended soon after our hotel so we had to head back into the streets. We were still looking for the hotel when we heard thunder and saw lightning light up the sky like the Fourth of July. The sky was really dark and the clouds were churning, so we decided to head back to the hotel. Although we had no idea which way to go.
Venice is in the shape of a fish, and you're either on the inside or the outside, with the Grand Canal running through the middle. We were inside and needed to get outside. A kind man told us to look for the street signs for the train station, so we did that and it was very helpful. We knew how to find out hotel from the train station. We started running and made it back just before it started to hail. Whew! It was early (maybe 8 p.m.) so we tried to watch TV. The cable wasn't working well so we showered and went to bed.
Our train left at noon the next day so we decided to take an early gondola ride. Before heading out, we had a wonderful breakfast at the hotel. I had a croissant with ham and cheese, cereal and a kiwi.
We got to the gondola when it opened around 9 a.m. and took a 30-minute ride with Stefano, a fifth-generation gondolier. He was really cute and gave us a narrative of the city as it slowly drifted by. Before each little speech he would say, "Look at me!", when I think he meant "Listen to me."
Each time I would turn my head to look at him anyway. At one point he pointed out a church where Marco Polo was buried – San Lorenzo. I tried to explain to him about our swimming pool game in the United States but he just looked confused. We also saw some really old Venetian blinds.

We walked around more after the boat ride and found a very pretty little neighborhood and park area. There are so many streets, canals and other islands around Venice that I would love to explore more someday.
Venice is how I imagined Italy would look. Milan was nice, but as I mentioned in my previous post, more European looking. Venice has the colorful buildings, the small, winding cobblestone streets, and, of course, the canals.

Our train to Cinque Terre left around Noon so we headed back to the train station. This time we knew how to find it.

Hold the champagne, fast car and jewelry — modest singing sensation Susan Boyle has celebrated her unprecedented success by splashing out on a new refrigerator.

Hi, and welcome to the community. I am so sorry you are having this problem. Would you please share what diet of seeds and or pellets and other foods he might be eating? When you post that info I will make some comments to you.
Hi everyone,
My family budgie (Archimedes) has been ill for about a month now, and the cause is a mystery. Every couple of days, he becomes lethargic, refuses to eat despite all efforts, and spends most of the day sleeping. Once these days pass, he becomes well again. He starts playing, singing, talking, flying around - as happy as a bird can be. Several days later, he gets sick again, and the cycle continues.
When he first got sick, we took him to an avian vet and spared no expense on his checkups, including x-rays, blood tests, cultures, samples. You name it, we did it. At the end of it, the vet couldn't pinpoint exactly what the cause was, but noticed a slight bump in his throat as a potential cause, citing either goiter or cancer. We were given iodine to administer in his drinking water and instructions to ensure he drank it.
It has been 2 weeks now, and nothing has changed. It's unlikely goiter, but I find it hard to believe that it's cancer either. Why would cancer magically improve for a couple of days then suddenly regress in an endless cycle?
The rest of his test results say that he should be fine. We have taken very good care of him, carefully monitoring his diet, environment, sleeping location, toys/perches/flying room. Physically he looks great. Beautiful colorful feathers, healthy weight, great flyer. During the good days you would swear he was the healthiest, happiest bird...then the bad days come.
Archimedes has been surviving by eating a lot during the good days, and by forced feeding from our local pet store during the bad days. This is both exhausting for us and him, and becoming too expensive. Don't know what else to do. I hope someone here can solve the mystery.
Hi, and welcome to the community. I am so sorry you are having this problem. Would you please share what diet of seeds and or pellets and other foods he might be eating? When you post that info I will make some comments to you.
If I were you I would ask the vets if you can take in a sample of his poos on his bad days to see if anything shows up in the poo samples. Lots of things will show up in the poos but not with every sample. Budgies are very susceptible to Avian Gastric Yeast and it is well known to hide and not be in every sample of poo they test. Is he getting the same amount of sleep every night? Did you change his diet or is there something in the house that you are doing only every now and then. Are you using things like candles, air freshners or anything that puts out odors sometimes? Heaters? lots of things put out toxic odors from Telfon coated parts that you cannot smell. PFOA and PTFE (Teflon) is toxic to birds and it is in so many things that people use in there houses.
Fly Free Boomer, we will forever love you.
His droppings have been tested and showed up clear, and at one point he was left at the hospital for several nights so they would have likely detected AGY.
His diet mainly consists of millet spray and quality pallets recommended to us by the vet, as well as hulled oats. The hulled oats are prepared the night before and refrigerated, washed before being served, and never left out for more than 1-2 hours. In addition to that, there are various vegetables (lettuce, broccoli etc...) and whatever we happen to be eating - egg, toast, rice (we are aware of the foods considered dangerous to his health, so we know not to feed him anything spicy, salty, chocolate, soft drinks etc...).
We were taking him to the vet for regular checkups every 6 months or so, and he appeared to be well nourished and within the healthy weight range. His diet has not been changed significantly prior to becoming sick.
What have you been feeding? Was their any iodine supplementation prior to recently? (i.e. in the food you use or an iodine block)
I am sorry this is happening to him and really do hope you can figure out what is going on with him. I really hope the thing in his throat does not turn out to be cancer. It is odd that it goes away and comes back a few days later so that was why I mentioned AGY. No doubt they checked his poo samples many times.
Fly Free Boomer, we will forever love you.
Budgies should not be allowed to eat any cabbage family veggies including broccoli, parsley, and kale. They have a phyto chemical in them that cause esophogal tumors in budgies. I had a budgie die of this problem a few years ago. He was eating parsley everyday. I found a website of two vets who wrote this article. My budgie ended up not being able to swallow or drink water and suddenly died.
I recommrnd a seed diet and fresh veggies. I wiuld discontinue the veggies I mentioned and see if you notice any improvement in him. I also recommend a mix of 20% pellets and 80% seed if an owner feeds pellets. Personally I do not feed pellets because budgies are too small to eat them. They also require lots of drinking water, and research documents they can cause neurological problems in budgies.

Working without Actors - creating a world which expresses character and emotion.
About ten years ago, I worked as a story editor on a series of animated adaptations of the novels of Jules Verne for a French company. We adapted six different stories over 13 half hours, and worked with some very talented writers: Brian Finch, Martin Jameson, and Fabrice Ziolkowski. My writing partner, Andrew Offiler, and I adapted one of Jules Verne's lesser known books, La Jangada (800 Leagues Down The Amazon).
One of the main characters spent some time locked in a cell in a fortress in the jungle, and I was faced with the problem of how to show both what sort of person he was, and what he was feeling. The style of the series was very naturalistic, so my options were limited. A solitary character in a locked room is not ideal for animation, for all the reasons I have given in previous blogs. I wasn't going to make him talk to himself, or talk to camera, or create a voice over to explain what was happening to him. I draw the line at that sort of on the nose writing. The idea that animation is a visual medium and that I should be showing, not telling, is too deeply ingrained.
I could, I suppose, have created a pet for him to talk to, as in the Bird Man Of Alcatraz, but there would have been the danger of creating a monologue in disguise. In the film, of course, the birds become a symbol of hope and generation for Burt Lancaster. Through the birds, we get a feeling for what the Birdman is feeling. In La Jangada, I decided to use some of the insects inhabiting his cell to act out the conflict going through his mind, and dispensed with dialogue altogether.
Filmmakers have always used images metaphorically. At its crudest, we have all seen sex scenes illustrated with cutaways to trains going through tunnels, nuclear explosions, fireworks, etc. much is made of dream sequences, particularly in Hitchcock films.
Sometimes we get a feeling for what the characters are going through from the weather conditions, the sets, the colours, environment, etc. Blade Runner is a great example of how the world depicted, with its overcrowding, constant rain, and muted colours tell you of the oppressive existence of its characters. In Film Noir, shots through railings to create shadows that look like the bars of a cell are almost clichéd.
There are budget restrictions in animation as there are in live action, of course, but animation gives you many possibilities that are simply not available in live action. You can make a spider wind a fly in its web and put it aside to eat later. To my knowledge, spider wranglers do not exist. Blood that drips down a wall can take the shape of a face, a gun, etc.. The sky can turn from blue to grey, or even red, at will. Of course, live action movies do this too, but almost always with an animated effect. Most visual effects artists are, in fact, animating.
Using images as metaphors for what people are feeling is an important element of animation, and offers an exciting alternative to the skills of an actor.
Next week: Doing the work of the cameraman and editor. How the process of animation influences what you write.

Monday Evening. July 1, 1957. Treatment of Alcoholic Advanced by New Drugs WASHLNGTON (UP)— Tremendous advances in the treatment of alcoholism have been achieved in the last few years. The alcoholic who seeks medical help today has a far brighter prospect of recovery than ever before. New drugs are responsible for some of this progress.

California claims that by 1960 it will have one that will top the famed M't. Van Hoevenberg bobrun at Lake Placid in northern New York. "It will be the fastest in the world" the west coasters predicted. The remark drew a friendly "pooh pooh" from New Yorkers. California's will have a concrete chute and the chute will have to use artificial ice. On the other hand, New York is a natural run, using natural ice and snow. And to top off i the argument, the New York Conservation Department pointed out that "the drivers are the 'ones who make the records." New York went a step further. It offered to lend some of its bobsled experts to California to help get the run underway. will open the Culver Skating rink June 29-30. It's located on West Jefferson street. A.

Expancel for wine corks
Tested and approved to keep wines bottled for decades
Expancel for wine corks
Tested and approved to keep wines bottled for decades
Expancel Microspheres helps to deliver on the potential of microagglomerated cork to overcome some of the weaknesses of traditional cork. Cork is a natural material with excellent properties, but it is also variable. Adding Expancel retains the important benefits and makes performance more consistent. Wine, for example, wants to penetrate cork, which can then harden and lose its properties. Expancel Microspheres reduce this tendency, ensuring more even quality and the optimal granule structure.
Expancel is highly compressible and has an outstanding capacity to return to shape. Wine corks made with Expancel Microspheres are easy to insert and mold themselves to form the perfect seal. They enable microagglomerated cork with the ideal granule structure and resilience.
Expancel expands to form a perfect seal. It does not shrink or absorb moisture, which means the content is protected for long periods. So the wine is in perfect condition when the bottle is opened.
Cork taint caused by the formation of chemical compounds such as TCA can be eliminated by finely grinding and washing the natural cork. The problem is you lose compressibility. Adding Expancel Microspheres restores it. The result: a taint-free cork with all the right properties. Perfect for the winemaker as well as the wine connoisseur.
When it comes to synthentic wine corks, it's all in the foaming. As synthetic wine cork generally avoids irregularities associated with natural cork, its use falls short in the foaming process. Expancel Microspheres have a fine, closed and uniform structure that promises highly-controlled foaming for consistent results. This means that you can use Expancel alone or in combination with your chemical blowing agent to achieve a wine cork with outstanding air tight properties improving the shelf time of the wine or beverage. Expancel is not only a blowing agent in wine corks but giving additional value to the product. Cheers to that!
We are here to help.
