Evaluation is not widespread in Africa, particularly evaluations instigated by governments rather than donors. However since 2007 an important policy experiment is emerging in South Africa, Benin and Uganda, which have all implemented national evaluation systems. These three countries, along with the Centre for Learning on Evaluation and Results (CLEAR) Anglophone Africa and the African Development Bank, are partners in a pioneering African partnership called Twende Mbele, funded by the United Kingdom's Department for International Development (DFID) and Hewlett Foundation, aiming to jointly strengthen monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems and work with other countries to develop M&E capacity and share experiences.
Civic collaboration is in motion, just as the systems that govern responses to the complexity of global 'grand challenges' are perpetually in motion. On February 6, 2018, the Centre for Learning on Evaluation and Results – Anglophone Africa (CLEAR-AA) hosted a workshop, funded by the Twende Mbele project, to determine what collaborative space potentially exists between Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and Government for strengthening of the National Evaluation System (NES) in South Africa. This workshop constituted one of a series of interventions, held in Benin and Uganda in 2017. A wide range of thought leaders in the South African (SA) Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) space contributed immensely to discussions centred on the entrenched epistemologies in the field of M&E. Central to these discussions was the critical question of what space there is, for 'epistemological jailbreak 1 ' in the way that practitioners think about Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E). Clearly we are living in a time of unprecedented opportunity for CSOs and government to drive results-based development agendas to achieve sustainable change. In particular, the accelerating emergence of CSOs in areas that are central to the progressive realisation of countries' national agendas, are a lodestar pointing to the fact that the relationship between government and CSOs can in fact run far deeper, at a systems level.

I gave birth to twin wire hang overs.
and now I am a personal space invader.
I've got essays, I've got finals due.
I have got lots and lots of problems.
Look out!
And how can you put that straw up your nose, when you know
how coke is manufactured?
Its made by children for the immature.
It is made by babies who've been captured.
It's a sin against their fellow man.
And/Oh welcome to this world, have as much fun as you would
like while helping others have as much fun as you are having.
Be kind to those you love, and be kind to those you don't.
But for Gods sake you gotta be kind, and respectful because
we're all one soul. Be the best fucking human you could be!

Top 7 Doctor Who Cars
Wednesday July 19, 2017
The announcement on July 16th of the Thirteenth Doctor sent me back to the distant past, one long before Christopher Eccleston – a time of disused quarries, entertaining rubber-costumed monsters and when masterminds who craved to rule the universe sported pointed beards to highlight their malign natures. And, as it turned out, quite a variety of cars…
7) Wolseley 6/80 – An Earthly Child 1963
What was the first car to ever appear in Doctor Who? The answer is the Wolseley driven by Ian Chesterton, as he and his colleague Barbara Wright try to discover why their latest student apparently lives in a police telephone box.
6) Citroen Dyane 6 – The Sea Devils 1972
Many of the Jon Pertwee era narratives were centred on Earth, which is excellent news for all car enthusiasts. Here we see how Roger Delgado's Master was not only a renegade Time Lord of almost infinite cunning, he was also a practically-minded one. Planning the domination of the world via a race of 'Sea Devils' must have been an expensive business, so having one's henchmen use a Dyane 6 for their fiendish work was the obvious solution.
5) Austin Maxi 1500 - Terror of the Autons 1971
If you were Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart and required a British (of course) set of wheels that would allow you to reach the quarry set for this week's adventure, an early Austin Maxi was a very innovative choice of car. The number plate would denote a BLMC press fleet car and given the viewing figures for Doctor Who at that time, this was a wise example of product placement. It also must be said that the Maxi's screen time looks a good deal more convincing than the storyline's notorious 'death by plastic armchair sequence'…
4) Siva Edwardian Tourer – Doctor Who and the Silurians 1970
On screen, the Third Doctor's company car was fitted with an anti-theft force field, a gravity stabilizer, and a minimum inertia hyperdrive amongst other accessories essential for any hard-working Time Lord who battles with irate intergalactic monsters on a regular basis. As most people know, the Siva was a GRP kit sold by a Dorset engineering firm to convert a side valve Ford into an 'Edwardian Tourer' for just £160. N.B. As Bessie's top speed was reputed to be 15 mph, she was best suited to pursuing reasonably slow-aced monsters.
3) Triumph Spitfire Mk. II – Logopolis 1981
The car that played a small key role in the last series of the Fourth Doctor adorned with a very fake looking '1964' number plate and a dent in the offside door.
2) The Whomobile – Invasion of the Dinosaurs 1974
Commissioned by Jon Pertwee himself, as opposed to the BBC, the Whomobile was built by the designer Peter Farries and despite only appearing in two episodes, remains one the cars most associated with the show. Power was from a tuned 875cc Hillman Imp engine, with a fibreglass body and a hovercraft-style rubber skirt which cunningly disguised the three-wheeled layout. I am just about old enough to remember being enthralled when it made a guest appearance on Blue Peter and as for the not overly 'special' effects, I think I was too enraptured by our first colour television set to notice!
1) Morris JB - Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. 1966
I refuse to become involved in debates as to whether the two 1960s feature films starring Peter Cushing were 'canon'. All that I do know is that if I were confronted by an army of very cross pepper pots wielding deadly sink plungers, a 1959 Morris van is an ideal form of defence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozx6arQmWko

James Guthrie had some fun at the expense of young bankers last week in the FT. Apparently, London rents are too high for even them! He suggests that they may even have to consider living in some of the less plush areas of London
As to living south of the river — don't even go there…Faced with this unfolding humanitarian crisis, it is natural to wonder what Bob Geldof is up to. Could he be prodded into reprising Live Aid? Trainee bond salespeople might then benefit from the proceeds of a song with the tear-jerking refrain: "Do they know it's bonus time?"
If the existence or extent of a bubble in the London housing market came up in one of our exam papers, it would have more than theoretical relevance to our current cohort of real estate students. One very capable international student (also working part-time for a major practice) told me last year that she had no intention of going for a graduate position in London since she'd still need financial support from her parents. It doesn't bode well for the various initiatives around that are trying to encourage students from lower income backgrounds into the profession.

Four digital bitewing x-rays and a digital panoramic x-ray eschew the high doses of radiation from conventional x-rays to reveal the hidden goings-on between tooth, root, and bone. A hygienist bathes teeth in a whirlpool of foam, flosses nethermost nooks, and removes pillow mints posing as molars. Patients in need of flashier fangs can opt for the in-office KöR whitening treatment, which employs a peroxide formula to safely coax out stains from coffee, tea, and aging.

I'm a paper kind of a girl. It feels official to me. But of course, the trend nowadays is to go paperless. From your newspaper to your tax return, a physical piece of paper that you can hold in your hand is not required. What about school? My oldest is only in the 2nd grade and we are swimming in worksheets and workbooks from the past 2 1/2 years. Is all that paper really necessary?
We have always homeschooled, but when we first began, we were homeschooling through a public charter school. Credentialed teachers would check up on us periodically and require us to submit our child's work in each subject. Not every lesson we learned had a worksheet to go with it, but I found myself scouring the Internet for them or even making up my own just to be able to "prove" to the school that we're doing work. Did Gabriel benefit from the paperwork? For the most part, probably not. He's a hands-on learner (for more on this, see my previous post on Visual and Kinesthetic Learner). Now, I'm not discounting the value of paper activities in school. I do believe it's a good way to reinforce what is taught. Moreover, it can encourage and motivate the child because he can see what he accomplished. So, we haven't gone completely paperless. But, I must say, when we withdrew our children from the public charter school and began homeschooling independently, it was a sigh of relief to not be required to produce all that paper!
One worksheet-heavy subject for us has always been math. We used to follow Saxon for our Math, but the amount of work required became increasingly overwhelming for Gabriel. On a typical day, he would have to do a full page of various addition or subtraction problems, then another page of systematic review, then one more page of systematic review to do later in the day. I liked the curriculum, but it wasn't right for Gabriel. We switched to Math-U-See, which appeals to the more Kinesthetic learner. We like it better, but there is still some amount of worksheets involved. I could tell that from the minute I would hand Gabriel that piece of paper, I would lose him. All those numbers staring back at him was just too much. So, I tried two different things, and they both seemed to work well. These two things gave him the same amount of work, but in bite-sized pieces.
One day, I gave Gabriel a blank piece of paper. Then, I wrote down the first math problem and asked him to do it. After he finished that problem, I wrote another one. And we kept doing this until he finished the whole worksheet. After this, we worked up to two problems at a time, then three. In all these cases, he was able to get it all done in much less time than if I had presented him with all the problems at once. Another thing that we did to "tweak" the math worksheet was to move it to the white board. Again, I wrote out the problems two or three at a time, bite-sized pieces. We've also split the board down the middle; Gabriel would do his problems on one side, and his sister, Tamara, would do hers on the other side. It became sort of like a game to them, and math became fun again!

It's not nearly as strange as it sounds.
Automakers are spending an insane amount of money on commercials for this year's Super Bowl game and while brands are trying to reach out to customers in new ways, Hyundai's is a little odd. Some die-hard automotive enthusiasts believe that cars are extremely similar to the human body—the engine is the heart, oil is blood and so on. However, Hyundai's spin is that "better is the engine that drives us" in a literal and figurative manner. The whole engine in the chest reminds us of Iron Man.
But instead of an arc reactor, it's a V8 that drives us.The commercial's a little strange, but it definitely makes Hyundai stick out from the other brands. The Hyundai Vision G Concept is also a great car to use.

He was walking down the street, but then Snoop Dogg came out from an ally and 360 no-scoped his ear because he missed his head.

Visit and read through https://lockthecock.com and make a list of things that you should never mention to your girlfriend.
How many times have you got laid?
Never let your girlfriend know about the number of times that you have got laid. She does not want to make an impression that you have slept with so many girls.
Your salary
You may be drawing a huge amount of salary but your girlfriend may not want to know about that. There is nothing that should keep you bragging about it. Try to be down to earth.
Do you watch porn?
No one is interested in such matters and especially not your girlfriend. I am sure she is going to get pissed off it if you start this conversation about the number of porn CDs that you have.
Your family
You can go ahead and tell about who all are there is your family but no one wants to know about the intricate details about your family. So keep it less and do not get into details about your family.
Your ex-girlfriend
Your girlfriend does not need to know about your ex-girlfriend and the details about her. It is not even important that you even mention about her.
Sexual fantasies
You may have some great sexual fantasies but no one wants to know about it. So keep your sexual fantasies to yourself and do not mention about it to your date.
Make sure that you do not disclose everything to your girlfriend and keep a control on what you want to tell her and what not to tell her. This is going to make a good impression on her and she will value it that you are not using her just to let out your thoughts and feelings. You want to make her feel special so do not use her as a dustbin to throw all your garbage on her.

From a childhood spent in London listening to the wail of air-raid sirens and wearing gas masks during WWII, David Warren has recently emerged on the Gold Coast art scene. A spritely 77, his fertile imagination conjures up quirky images of a (not so) secret inner child.
David's work is textural and dense, using a combination of collage, modelling paste and acrylics. His paintings practically lift themselves from the surface of the canvas inviting you to run your fingers across them and savour the texture and colour. Influenced by the works of Blackman, Dickerson and Bressnan, there is an innocence and naivety to his art, despite the complexity of his techniques. Offbeat characters emerge from the canvas, telling fabulous stories of magic and wonder and it takes many viewings to absorb the content.There is a correlation between David's vibrant paintings today and his previous work with lead lighting.
Two years at Brin Jones School of Fine Art and a couple of workshops taught David the fundamentals of traditional painting, however, David's heart lay elsewhere and we are all the richer for it. Always exploring and experimenting, creativity is an adventure and he is never sure where it will take him next. Not one for sticking to the rules, David finds the dynamics of the painting process takes him to new and exciting places each time.
"Mistakes can take you into a whole new dimension and that's exciting."
David feels that he is constantly unearthing new ground in his artistic voyage, and fortunately has the companionship and support of his wife Alma of 31 years (also an exceptional artist in her own right) spurring him on.
His biggest buzz is when people enjoy his work – the satisfaction of knowing they give pleasure urges him to create more. From a career as a remedial therapist, then owner of an antique store, through to artist extraordinaire, David's many facetted life story is a positive and courageous one – probably the reason why his work radiates joy and humour at every turn.

This weekend I was inducted into Sigma Tau Delta, the International English Honor Society. Basically, I promise to uphold the ideals of "Sincerity, Truth, Design" and do my best to support and further writing and literature.
I got some fancy red and black cords I can wear at graduation, a pin, and a certificate. I can also now publish in Sigma Tau Delta's two journals: The Rectangle and The Review. The Rectangle is for creative writing, The Review is for scholarly pieces, essays and the like.
It's sort of exciting to be recognized and be among the group on campus. Of course, it's not like a sorority or anything, though that would probably be excellent. We could have a permanent literary salon where we sip caffeinated beverages and share our latest masterpieces in the rough. Oh the metaphysical debates... but alas, there's no Greek housing on our campus anyway. Only six new members pledged this year,and some of the officers are graduating, so it's a rather small group.
I hate to be immodest, but it feels nice to be among the "chosen few." There are many benefits to joining and I look forward to taking advantage of them.

Just stopping by for a hello ... and congratulations! :)ReplyDelete
So, shall we be seeing you back on the RH board anytime soon? ;-)
I have no idea if and when I'll be able to get back into the message board scene. Summer's coming up, but I'll be working (hopefully steadily) at freelancing and traveling a bit.
Good luck with that! do stop by a bit if you have the time. Are you still interested in co-writing a virtual season if we do one?ReplyDelete
I don't know. I have so many writing projects going on right now.ReplyDelete

It will take place sometime after fav.me/dam5scw , Taichi´s group was attacked by a group of rogues lead by Lilithmon and Beelzemon and Hikari Yagami found herself in real trouble when one of the minions managed to go beyond Angewomon´s guard and attempted to kidnap Hikari Yagami.
Taichi´s Wargreymon, severely injured mid battle, was back as Koromon and falling from the sky with Taichi and both would had met a certain death had not Ange caught the pair in time! There were just a few seconds left before Hikari was about to be dragged to a portal opened by Lilithmon and thrown there…Ange and Angewomon were too far to catch her in time and plenty of enemies were having them entertained.
The portal exploded just before the girl was about to be sucked….
"….!!" Hikari barely could believe her luck when she found herself in a pink haired warrior ´s arms. The whole outfit was pink save for the four body-sash blades that extend from its armor. "I don´t recall seeing you before but thanks!"
"Really?" mumbled the rescuer "You ought to have your eyesight checked, of course we know each other!"
"WHO THE HECK IS THAT ANNOYING PERSON?!" roared Lilithmon "I HATE IT WHEN UNEXPECTED GUESTS SHOW UP TO MY PARTIES!!"
Beelzemon shrugged his arms but said nothing. He´d rather show his annoyance in silence.
"Great to see you finally joining the battle, Nova!" exclaimed Ange in a cheerful tone. Until that moment his partner used to walk away from any participation since she did not like what she called "the group of digi-brats" and found them an eyesore. All she wanted to do was seek for her missing brother and nothing else. Fighting a war ? There were more than enough digidestineds to foil Lucemon (or whoever went by that name)´s plans!
Taichi and the others contemplated with surprise the newly arrived Nova. She´s usually blonde and wearing a white and blue outfit..and now she looked so different! Nobody could guess that as a Supreme she was now wielding Lordknightmon´s codes (fav.me/db1qu4v) hence her appearance was radically altered and being, for a limited amount of time, the owner of part of the royal knight´s powers…
"I KNEW IT!" Hikari recovered enough from her shock and hugged Nova "I KNEW THAT YOU WOULD NEVER ABANDON US!"
For a moment Nova´s eyes shone with was an apparent delight.
"You remind me so much of Angewomon…I´m looking forward fighting together…" the digidestined of Light was so excited, hopeful that anybody would had melted with her sweetness. Not too far from them Angewomon smiled as well. The so called Nova proved herself as a noble, courageous person by rescuing dearest Hikari-chan…! She was more than willing to forget about the previous nastiness between them (fav.me/d9td2fr) …
Nova looked at the hopeful girl and smirked. The following moment Nova´s arms moved by themselves, unceremoniously letting Hikari fall to the ground!
"WHAT THE FUCK?!!!" yelled Taichi
The villains ´s mouths opened wider than a swiss cheese, shocked.
"NOVA!" chastised Ange "You naughty girl, let her fall on purpose?!"
"WHAT?!!!!" exclaimed the rest of the public . Angewomon´s eyes flamed under the helmet and Ange, after making sure that Hikari was just seeing the stars floating above her head but out of danger nevertheless, continued with his remarks "WHAT´S GOING ON WITH YOU?!"
Nova was supposed to be 25 years old but the digiglobal spell erased most of her memories, was back into her 18s and blinded by her wish of rescuing her missing elder brother Magnus she was at a volatile stage…
And much to everybody´s dismay Nova replied " Everybody must protect the digidestined of Light that caught Homeostasis´s eyes and may own one or two special effects under the sleeve…But guess what? There are TONS of digidestineds with special features!" and she finally condescended to stare at Hikari " All it takes is a self recognized bitch to recognize an INSUFFERABLE BRAT. Get a damn grip of yourself and stop whining about the goddamed darkness…!"
Yep, Nova was more than willing to spread some tough love…

The Kiss
It was the early eighties and we were on the bus riding home from school. I was inhaling candy I had received during our class Valentine's Day party. I could feel my seatmate watch as I consumed too many sweets. I began to feel self-conscious. To make myself feel better - and to keep her from telling others about how greedy I was being - I gave her a lollipop. Her eyes sparkled and her smile was bright as she accepted my bribe. Mission accomplished, I turned to rummage through the bag of candy, searching for a bit of chocolate. As I did this, the girl leaned over and kissed me on the cheek. Taken aback, I looked around us to determine if anyone else had seen it. Then, from that day forward and in all of my fourth grade maturity, I shied away from her until we no longer spoke. We would never speak again; re-zoning efforts relegated me to a school closer to my home for the next school year.
I was lying on the sofa watching television while suffering through a nasty bout of the flu when breaking news interrupted programming. There had been a major bus accident. Cameras panned over a horrific scene of a badly damaged school bus and crying children. I recognized a former classmate sitting stunned on a curb next to the commotion. The news anchor confirmed there were several injuries and one death. The identity of the fallen student was announced later that day during the evening newscast. I bit my lip when I saw her picture – all sparkling eyes and bright smile. Not able verbalize my feelings, I pinned the following poem in remembrance of her:
How is it there, where you are?
Do you play hopscotch on the stars?
Do float 'round with angel wings?
Do you roller skate on Saturn's rings?
How is it there perched on high?
Lying on clouds as time rolls by.
What wondrous things you must see,
Still, I wish you were here with me.
There have been times when I've thought back to that kiss and my reaction. I now realize the kiss was just a show of appreciation for a perceived act of kindness. I, on the other hand, was always mindful of what others thought. In my preoccupation with appearances, I hurt someone who had shown me more kindness than I would ever receive from the people I desperately wanted to impress. That has been a hard pill to swallow over the years and, sadly, a mistake I would repeat.I believe God allowed our paths to cross as a reminder of how we should come before Him - with childlike innocence and enthusiasm for the world to witness. I know that although her life was tragically brief, she had demonstrated an understanding of a principle I struggle with as an adult – "A new command I give you: Love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another" (John 13:34-35, NIV).

Yesterday's midterm elections in the US – in which the Republicans gained control of the US House of Representatives and some key governors' offices – are likely to add to the financial pressures on colleges and universities.
Although Republicans did not focus on higher education in their Congressional campaigns, they vowed to roll back federal spending in most areas unrelated to the military or national security. If the Republicans keep their promise, higher education institutions could see an end to the generous increases in federal student aid and research programmes that they have enjoyed in the first two years of the Obama Administration.
Democrats, who have backed those increases and who have also pushed for tougher scrutiny of for-profit higher education, have kept control of the Senate, although they will emerge with a smaller majority than they previously enjoyed.
Lobbyists for higher education have predicted that a split Congress, and the strong divisions on many issues between the Obama Administration and the new House leadership, will result in a Congress unlikely to pass major pieces of legislation on higher education (or almost anything).
This would be a substantial change from the past two years, when Congress has passed a major overhaul of the federal student loan system and approved significant increases in Pell Grants – the major student aid programme for low-income students.
For public colleges and universities, Republican wins in several gubernatorial races – especially in Ohio – could have a more immediate impact.
Like their counterparts running for Congressional seats, the Republican gubernatorial hopefuls did not campaign against spending on higher education per se, but they pledged to cut spending overall and to cut taxes: it is unlikely that the new governors will be able to do so without more cuts to colleges' budgets.
Even as colleges braced themselves for tighter budgets at the federal and state levels, they received some good fiscal news yesterday. Voters in several states rejected plans that would have automatically curbed state taxes or spending, and voters in several states and localities approved plans to issue bonds to build or renovate college facilities.
In Arizona, voters approved a measure to ban public colleges from considering race, ethnicity or gender in any of their programmes.
The impact of the measure is expected to be greatest in graduate and professional education, where Arizona's universities have considered race and ethnicity in some decisions about both admissions and financial aid. California, Michigan, Nebraska and Washington State have previously passed similar measures.

Hull City, Burnley and QPR were all relegated last season (2015) from the Premier League and two of those three clubs – Hull and Burnley – have come straight back up this season with QPR finishing in 12th place.
And in today's SkyBet odds, the three relegated sides this season – Aston Villa, Norwich City and Newcastle United are the top three favorites to be promoted from the SkyBet Championship in this upcoming season.
It is a much more difficult league down below and we play 46 league games this season, so Newcastle will play more games than we have played since we were last down below in the Championship in 2009-2010.
Here is the latest betting odds from SkyBet on which club will win the Championship next seoasn.
Newcastle United 5/2
Aston Villa 9/1
Norwich City 9/1
Derby County 12/1
Brighton & Hove Albion 14/1
Sheffield Wednesday 14/1
And as far as getting one of the three promotion slots.
Newcastle United 4/5
Norwich City 100/30
Aston Villa 100/30
Derby County 9/2
Brighton & Hove Albion 5/1
Sheffield Wednesday 11/2
One thing we cannot become is overconfident – and these upcoming games will be both physical and tough, but Rafa Benitez will make sure of that.
Rafa Benitez will be trying to build a team that is not only good enough to get promoted automatically this season by finishing in the top two, but which is also the basis of a team that can then challenge for the top six in the Premier League the following season.
That's the plan in any case.
But last August, who would have thought we would be relegated after just spending £52M in the summer transfer market – so nothing is certain in football or in life for that matter.
We should also see some improvements to the facilities at the Benton Training grounds, as Benitez tries to bring Newcastle United into the 21st century and a top club in England once again.
As we said – that's the plan.
Comments welcome.

A better view (better view – geddit ?)
One of Jimmy Smith's more worthy observations:
"WTF were those signings all about, Pearce, Rush and Barnes, well past it. We were a decent premiership proposition back then, what were they even doing on our radar. Was it Dalglish? Lazy, woeful recruiting."
We should have a Gallowgate Football Crimes Tribunal. I reckon dog leash deserves 5 years hard labour plus 5 years community service. I'd let him off however if he could provide a satisfactory explanation because I've long been tormented with this puzzle.
Anyone who thinks that promotion back to the PL will be a walk in the park should get a grip.
It is always easier to remain in a division than to get promoted back up. We will probably need at least 96 points to be reasonably certain of automatic promotion, i.e. we need to win thirty plus matches.
The other teams will also be trying to gain promotion, and will look to take our scalps in every match. It will be a hard drawn out campaign.
I'm worried that Mr Ashley and Mr Charnley will assume that we will be back in the PL this time next season. Sadly, I'm not convinced that it will be that easy.

Catbells is the best class to be in. Our teacher is Mrs Packer and our Teaching Assistant is Mrs Millward. Our classroom is a great place to learn. We have lots of words and numbers on the walls to help us and we have really interesting places to work such as the forest area. Mrs Packer gives us challenges in our work and we take responsibility for completing them. We show we have completed our work by using our challenge pegs.
We have a great outside learning area. In it we have a stage, a mud kitchen and we have tyres to climb on and then jump off. We love to take our work outside and use the outdoor learning space to help us get ideas.
We have phonics every day to help us with our reading and wriiting, but we also learn sign language. Using sign language we can talk with our hands and we learn words and sentences, but also words to help us wth our topic.

Hi, Estelle's guest post exists solely to park a link to online schools on someone else's blog (yours) in order to increase its online ranking in search engines. She seems to be doing this, with various degrees of success, all over the internet and I've just received an email from her requesting permission to post a guest post on my own blog.ReplyDelete
As far as scams go it's pretty soft and I'm sure the rest of the article is interesting enough and perhaps of some value. But these guest posts are cuckoos eggs, nesting in other people's blogs ;)
Googling for her name and sites that link to the spam link brings up a plentiful supply of hits https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&site=&source=hp&q=link%3Awww.onlineschools.org+estelle
I have noticed similar and same requests from "Estelle Shumann" and also from others that want to advertise about a non-legitimate online school or education.

Politics Becomes Art in Exhibition of Chinese Propaganda Posters
NORFOLK, VA. (Feb. 12, 2018) – Examine China's political and social realities over time in The Art of Revolution: Chinese Propaganda Posters from the Collection of Shaomin Li. On view at the Chrysler Museum of Art from March 2 – June 24, 2018, the exhibition will include more than 20 propaganda posters, as well as sketches and other artifacts from Shaomin Li, an artist, internationally recognized economist and dissident from China. Li, now an Eminent Scholar and Professor of International Business at Old Dominion University, has long been a collector of Communist Party propaganda posters, amassing approximately 250.
Li produced propaganda posters as part of his military service during the Cultural Revolution in China. In 1982, he began graduate studies in the United States and became an advocate of democracy and free markets in China. He was imprisoned in China in 2001 for promoting democracy in Hong Kong. "Shaomin Li's collection really traces how the Communist Party penetrated all aspects of life in China during this period, and he brings unique insights because of his life story," said Lloyd DeWitt, Ph.D., the Chrysler Museum's Chief Curator and Irene Leache Curator of European Art.
When Mao Zedong launched the Cultural Revolution in 1966, his actions led to the elimination of all traces of Chinese history and culture. Instead, propaganda posters became the main form of art in the lives of most Chinese people. "I lived among revolutionary posters. They were in our bedrooms, our classrooms, on the streets and buildings and in farm fields. As an artist serving Mao, I drew them. They left an indelible imprint on me," Li said.
Li could only design posters using approved imagery given in model books. Several of those model books are included in the Chrysler Museum's exhibition along with Li's sketchbook and his drawings of an interrogation room and prison cell. Also included is a photograph of Li painting the official portrait for Mao's funeral in 1976, a great honor at the time.
The exhibition is organized by themes, including the Cult of Mao, Glorifying the Military, The Eight Model Plays, Everyday Heroes, Propaganda as Educational Material and China after Mao. Visitors will certainly recognize the iconic image of Mao in posters like Chairman Mao leads us Forward of 1968. Also iconic is the strident girl promoting the model play The Red Lantern in I want to live like her (Carry on the Revolution to the End).
"The Americans have an urgent need to learn about China and especially about its revolutionary past. For without understanding its past, we cannot comprehend its present and where it is going. This exhibition will help the audience to experience the power of propaganda and the way Mao and his Communist Party used art as a propaganda tool to command the people to 'carry the revolution to the end.' Today, while the 'end' may have changed its meaning from Mao's vision, the role of art as a propaganda tool continues," Li said.
The Chrysler has a superb collection of Asian art, including the kind of traditional Chinese art whose influence Mao sought to overthrow through the Cultural Revolution. In an age when the validity of political messages is constantly challenged, these propaganda posters are a sobering reminder of the power of art to create a vision of the present and future, at times far divorced from reality.
The Art of Revolution
Saturday, April 14 at 2 p.m.
Join Old Dominion University Professor Shaomin Li as he discusses his collection of Chinese propaganda posters and his life as an art soldier in Mao's era. A critically-minded intellectual from China, Li has collected propaganda posters for more than two decades to record this unique period in history. In 2001, he was detained in China for five months for promoting democracy. Learn about his collection and his experiences during this gallery talk. This program is free and open to the public.
The Chrysler Museum of Art is one of America's most distinguished mid-sized art museums, with a nationally recognized collection of more than 30,000 objects, including one of the great glass collections in America. The core of the Chrysler's collection comes from Walter P. Chrysler, Jr., an avid art collector who donated thousands of objects from his private collection to the Museum. The Museum, expanded in 2014 to add additional gallery spaces and amenities for visitors, now has growing collections in many areas and mounts an ambitious schedule of visiting exhibitions and educational programs each season. The Chrysler has also been recognized nationally for its unique commitment to hospitality with its innovative gallery host program.
The Perry Glass Studio is a state-of-art facility on the Museum's campus. The studio offers programming for aspiring and master artists alike in a variety of processes including glassblowing, fusing, flameworking, coldworking and neon. The studio has also cultivated a reputation for its cutting-edge performance evenings, and was the host venue of the 2017 Glass Arts Society Conference.
In addition, the Chrysler Museum of Art administers two historic houses in downtown Norfolk: the Moses Myers House and the Willoughby-Baylor House, as well as the Jean Outland Chrysler Library on the campus of Old Dominion University. General admission is free at all venues. For more information on the Chrysler Museum of Art, visit chrysler.org.

What a Monday, huh?
It wasn't a good weekend, was it?
Everybody knows I'm a sports nut. So, for us sports fans here in the Northwest, specifically in Washington state, it was a particularly bad weekend.
Opponents outscored Washington football teams, the Seahawks, Huskies and Cougars, 120-23. Depressing is the word you're looking for.
Then we all wake up this morning to find that Wall Street isn't too enamored with the bailout plan, even though America mortgaged the future to help those corrupt bastards (helped by NO OVERSIGHT from this government, but this is a topic for later discussion). As of now, at 11:14 AM Pacific time, the Dow is down 630 points and is below 10,000 for the first time since October, 2004. Four years ago, if you're trying to do the math. NASDAQ is no better, down 141 points to just around 1,800.
Good times to be had by all!
Update: good to see that the markets rebounded a bit by closing bell, but there's still a tough road ahead. Unfortunately, no results were changed for the football teams, they still lost a combined 120-23.

HOPEWELL TWP. � A Hopewell Township man is charged with five counts of corruption of minors and four counts of indecent assault.
State police said Kevin Lee Gallagher, 49, of 44 Walnut St. fondled a 15-year-old girl and 17-year-old girl in fall 2004 when the two were visiting the home of the 15-year-old�s aunt. Police said the girls were able to flee and told Gallagher�s daughter in another room. Gallagher�s daughter told police the girls did confide in her, but that she couldn�t believe he would do something like that, police said.
Between June 2004 and September 2005, police said Gallagher assaulted the 15-year-old on three other occasions. During summer 2004, police said he fondled the girl, who was visiting her aunt, while she was doing dishes.
In the summer 2005, police said the girl and a cousin were visiting her aunt when the two went into the laundry room to retrieve some blankets. Police said Gallagher entered, locked the door behind him and fondled both girls, who were able to fend him off and flee.
Another incident occurred in the early morning of Sept. 5, 2005, when the girl and her family were visiting the family camp in Pine Township, Crawford County. Police said the girl was sleeping on a couch when Gallagher placed a pillow over the mouth and raped her. He is also charged with rape, sexual assault and two counts of aggravated indecent assault.

Recognize Chinese Characters by Radicals
This week, I have picked a set of Chinese characters that may be easily confused by beginners. In the picture below, you will see six pairs of characters. The symbols in the second and the fourth columns differ from those in the first and the third ones by the element called radical.
Radicals are graphical components under which characters are usually listed in dictionaries. They often indicate general meaning and can give you a clue to the character's meaning. For example, the radical 讠 [yán] in this particular case in the pairs below, means "speech". So the characters, which have a radical are mostly related to verbal communications.
Besides those listed in the picture there are also:
说 (shuō) – to speak, to talk
语 (yǔ) – spoken language
话 (huà) – words, expressions, phrases
Other elements of Chinese characters may be phonetic components. Look at the pinyin of the following Chinese characters and observe how similar their pronunciation is:
人 (rén) – 认 (rèn)
只 (zhǐ) – 识 (shí)
However, don't completely rely on the resemblance! There are many other characters that look similar but sound completely different.
Some advice, in order to memorize Chinese characters better and faster, it may be useful to create your own lists of Chinese characters that differ from each other by the radical. Let's look at the example of 八 and 人. Many have trouble distinguishing 八 (see the first post in this series) and 人may be tricky. Look at them close together and remember how they are written:
Radical are very important in learning Chinese characters and it will be best to memorize radicals to help learn quicker. You will see a lot of repetition that will help you remember what the radical means, but remember the meanings and the phonics aren't always the same with each character. Take these tips into consideration and keep learning!

Western Electronic Caviar GreenPower 500GB Internal SATA ($99.00) - very nice hard generate. Haven't experienced any problems with it and I like the fact that it is "green" since I depart the Pc on all of the time. Only thing here is that I ended up getting to add another as soon as soon after getting the box up and operating. This thing fills up hard drives extremely quickly if you are utilizing the PVR attributes (personal video recorder, AKA, contemporary day VCR).In order to view Television via a Computer, you need to have input and output.

Unless you are an expert, there are fantastic chances that you might end up with too many problems.The Mac mini, Apple's smallest and most power-efficient desktop computer, took a slightly various method than many anticipated. Instead than creating a fantastic little Build Home Theater PC to connect to a Television, Apple sees the little powerhouse as a great individual server.

Let's talk Grey's - Calzona Seriously?!
"Arizona tries to reconcile with Callie, who has big news to share; Teddy faces an important decision; the residents receive new interns; the Chief makes an announcement." That's what we know from the next episode of Grey's Anatomy, "Start me up"
So Arizona is back. Callie is all upset and she's all I don't want you in my life..bla bla bla.
It's OK, because I am hoping that they'll get back together, but if Dr. Calliope Iphigenia Torres is pregnant I will give up on Shonda Rhimes. That sounds like just something she would do. Come on!
Have a fight, have a breakup, have a moving to another continent, but get them together already. And I mean "together" together. Not with Mark or his baby in the middle. I am just really, deeply, very annoyed by this.

How social media would have affected 9/11/2001
April 8, 2011
LA Weekly blogger Alexia Tsotsis examines how social media would have influenced reactions to the September 11th attacks in the article "What would 9-11 be like in the age of Social Media."
She explains that, "our real-time communication platforms would provide crucial information on survivors and those looking for loved ones, as Craigslist did after Hurricane Katrina."
By using social media platforms such as Twitter or Facebook, people would have quicker access to a multitude of information relating to the crisis. According to Tsotsis, social media outlets would have allowed for:
- Multimedia from those inside the World Trade Centers. If the attacks had taken place during 2010, office workers would have been able to tweet about what was going on and post pictures of the impending disaster. Even more importantly, they would be able to post video that would capture the true horror of 9/11. Had they had iPhones and other sorts of technology, we would have been able to more clearly understand the reactions of those inside the building, rather than just imagining it through the reactions of spectators.
- Videos from passengers on the planes. If we had the level of cellular device use that we have today, we would have hundreds of videos of passengers on the jets that crashed in to the twin towers. We would be exposed to a plethora of videos of passenger reactions and maybe even videos of the terrorists as they hijacked the planes.
- "More myths, and quicker mythbusting." With the use of Twitter or Facebook anyone and everyone would be able to post their opinions or their encounters during 9/11. We would have more exposure to conspiracy theories and exposure to people claiming that the Bush administration knew about the attacks all along. We would also, however, have access to people arguing that the 9/11 attacks were not an inside job and that Bush and his advisor's had absolutely no knowledge of these attacks.
- More opinions. After Bush declared war on Iraq, Americans would have been faced with a flood of tweets that both supported and opposed the war. On the extreme, conservative side, some might say, "lets show those Jihad terrorists what America's made of." On the more peace-loving side, however, tweets might say, "peace in the Middle East not death showers and bombs."
There is no denying that the American reaction to 9/11 would have been entirely different if Twitter and Facebook had been around. We would have access to an unprecedented amount of information from an unbelievably huge amount of people. Along with just being exposed to more personal encounters, and being able to find information more quickly, we would also be exposed to international opinions of the attacks. It is very apparent that if we were able to decipher the sound from the noise in the world of social media, we would have had a much better, unbiased understanding of the devastating attacks on that infamous September day.

What is DataFlow¶
DataFlow is a library to build Python iterators for efficient data loading.
Definition: A DataFlow is a idiomatic Python container object that has a
__iter__() generator method,
which yields
datapoints and optionally a
__len__() method returning the size of the flow.
A datapoint is a list of Python objects which are called the
components of a datapoint.
Example: to train on MNIST dataset, you may need a DataFlow with a
__iter__() method
that yields datapoints (lists) of two components:
a numpy array of shape (64, 28, 28), and an array of shape (64,).
As you saw,
DataFlow is independent of TensorFlow since it produces any python objects
(usually numpy arrays).
import tensorpack.dataflow, you don't even have to install TensorFlow.
You can simply use DataFlow as a data processing pipeline and plug it into any other frameworks.
Composition of DataFlow¶
One good thing about having a standard interface is to be able to provide the greatest code reusability. There are a lot of existing DataFlow utilities in tensorpack, which you can use to compose DataFlow with complex data pipeline. A common pipeline usually would read from disk (or other sources), apply transformations, group into batches, prefetch data, etc. A simple example is as the following:
# a DataFlow you implement to produce [tensor1, tensor2, ..] lists from whatever sources:
df = MyDataFlow(dir='/my/data', shuffle=True)
# resize the image component of each datapoint
df = AugmentImageComponent(df, [imgaug.Resize((225, 225))])
# group data into batches of size 128
df = BatchData(df, 128)
# start 3 processes to run the dataflow in parallel
df = PrefetchDataZMQ(df, 3)
You can find more complicated DataFlow in the ImageNet training script with all the data preprocessing.
Work with Your Data¶
Unless you are working with standard data types (image folders, LMDB, etc),
you would usually want to write the source DataFlow (
MyDataFlow in the above example) for your data format.
See another tutorial for simple instructions on writing a DataFlow.
Once you have the source reader, all the existing DataFlows are ready for you to complete
the rest of the data pipeline.
Why DataFlow¶
It's easy: write everything in pure Python, and reuse existing utilities. On the contrary, writing data loaders in TF operators is usually painful, and performance is hard to tune. See more discussions in Python Reader or TF Reader.
It's fast: see Efficient DataFlow on how to build a fast DataFlow with parallelism. If you're using DataFlow with tensorpack, also see Input Pipeline tutorial on how tensorpack further accelerates data loading in the graph.
Nevertheless, tensorpack supports data loading with native TF operators / TF datasets as well.
Use DataFlow outside Tensorpack¶
Normally, tensorpack
InputSource interface links DataFlow to the graph for training.
If you use DataFlow in other places such as your custom code, call
reset_state() first to initialize it,
and then use the generator however you like:
df = SomeDataFlow()
for dp in df:
# dp is now a list. do whatever
Read the API documentation to see API details of DataFlow.

Wow, time flies when you have too many things on your plate. Life has been preventing me from posting lately; 'promotion' at work (which just means more work), classes on the weekend for my accounting designation, starting to workout with trainers in the mornings and way too many awesome TV shows on this season (I'm in love with Glee). What spare time I've had, I've been spending it with my boyfriend. It definitely sucks when the only time you see eat other is when you wake up and go to bed.
Any who, here's hoping I can find time to post more often.

Here I am, finally back, after a long month (oh wow, having a look at the calendar, actually I should say two months!) of editing my clients' photographs and working on personal projects (lots to come).
Today I want to show you a selection of pictures from Inés and Felix's wedding. It was really a great day, from the morning when I captured the laughs and the excitement of Inés, her bridesmaids and parents, to the ceremony of course (some sweet tears were dropping down), and to the reception at the Cherwell Boathouse in Oxford. Trees' leaves were already turning to red and yellow, Inés and Felix surprised everybody arriving to the restaurant by punt and were welcomed by a deluge of pink petals, friends and families coming from all over Europe, a big fabric heart with their name on it, and then cakes, cakes again and English tea. This without mentioning romantic decorations, live music and all that contagious happiness.
Thank you Inés and Felix for letting me be part of it, and again congratulations!

Open day, although every 600 limit on the bridge, but waiting for the tourists still swarmed. Tang Kuntai photo net Changsha September 1st hearing the much anticipated, hard to get a vote, visitors see line up at night…… Bring their own headlines physique, Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon glass bridge, just opened 12 days of trial was actually an emergency stop. Crazy in this news, a few times, when news finally from the local government and the scenic area exclusive doubts: September 2nd, Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Scenic Area will be closed transformation, the glass bridge "compressed reception scale", only up to now have a reservation team visitors time of construction is expected to open; about 10 days, scenic recovery time without notice.

I only have one shift left. As of Saturday afternoon (hopefully, there's only the final tennis matches happening), I will no longer be a Gamesmaker. This week has flown by. I've hardly stopped and am completely exhausted. I've done far too many sudoku puzzles to keep my mind alert too.
It seems like five minutes ago that I arrived at the Olympic Park on Thursday night to see how long the journey would take me from where I'm staying, to Eton Manor. Only half an hour! About as long as it takes me to walk to normal work in a morning. This time I've been using the tube from Leytonstone to Leyton and then walking from Leyton Station to Eton Manor Gate which is always quiet so no massive queues to get through security and onto Venue.
I walked round for a while and went into the Beat Box which is the big red and white monument near World Square on the Park. It's run by Coca Cola and goes through how the Mark Ronson song 'Anywhere in the World' was put together. Through the sounds of 5 different sports from 5 different countries. I had my first photo with the Paralympic Torch that night. The photo had the stadium in the back ground and even though my hair is a mess because I'd travelled across the country and it was quite windy up there, it's a decent photo. I walked around for a bit longer before deciding to head home after seeing my friend, Fiona.
Friday morning was my first shift and it began at 7am as it did again on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Getting up at 5am was a bit of a struggle and it was quite chilly in the morning. Thankfully the uniform jacket for us Gamesmakers is quite snug.
I've had shifts with pretty much everyone on our team and made some friends for life from doing so. I haven't been the youngest nor have I been the eldest and there have been people from all walks of life on our team. From those who travelled from America to England at the age of 23 and have lived here for the past 50 odd years, to those who in two weeks will be starting University. We've all been able to find things to talk about and everyone is interesting in their own way. I've seen myself in certain members of the team and I think I've also changed in doing so. I've been able to act calmly in what can be quite stressful situations. No kicking off for Jayne from now on!! It's just not worth it. There have been lessons in Spanish words, Portuguese words. Food from those countries. Discussions about the Sports we are watching. I've learnt so much in 7 days. All for the better.
On Tuesday, I had my first afternoon shift. It lasted from 2.30pm to 9.10pm because of a match between Japan and Thailand having to be delayed due to long matched previously. When it was over, three of the team, including myself, decided to take the walk from Eton Manor through the Park and out the Stratford Gate. It's so lovely doing this at night. It wasn't too busy, there were plenty of people around to make it lively though. We ended up doing some impromptu front of house work. I finally got my hands on a megaphone.
If you were one of the people I barked at to do a 'Bolt', 'Mobot; or 'Weirwolf' pose, thank you for obliging. Also, if anyone sees me photobombing any spectators photos from outside the Stadium, let me know! I think I would have enjoyed being outside in the main park area a lot, though I don't wish to take anything away from the great time I've had in the office of Eton Manor, communicating with all the teams using the radios.
One of the good friends I've made from my time as a Gamesmaker is Abbie. Abbie is brilliant and just the nicest person I've ever met. She understands my humour and banter and I am very grateful to her for putting up with me, letting me tag along and inviting me to use her spare ticket for the Athletics in the Olympic Stadium on Wednesday night. Even if I was late! I had a fabulous time and when I go in again on Saturday I just don't think it will be the same for me, not having a friend sat next to me. However, if you do end up being my neighbour on Saturday morning, I'm really friendly and will shout louder than you!
We got to see Oscar Pistorius and the rest of the South African relay win Gold and also saw the heartbreak of the Spanish team dropping the baton right in front of our stand. Seeing an athlete laying on the floor in utter defeat, is heartbreaking. The hush and reverence will stay with me forever, as will the applause the athlete got when he left the track to seek solace from his fellow teammates. I never imagined I'd be so lucky as to be in there and I will keep those memories in my mind for as long as my body will let me.
This afternoon after our shift, Abbie and I went on the Beatbox, the first time for her. We then drifted through the spectators, round the wildlife gardens and under the bridges. After heading into Westfields Shopping Centre, she then left to meet friends in Central London. I had something to eat, wandered round for a bit and found myself going back into the Park. It just seems to draw me like a magnet. I'm trapped in this whole Paralympic bubble and I never want it to pop.
I also have a little collection of pins attached to my accreditation strap. Some of them I've received during the course of the week when I've turned up for my shits, others I've bought in the store on the Park to remember my time a little more.
I'd like to thank everyone who has supported me and sent me messages this week. Those who've retweeted my blog links. I'm so lucky to be doing this and like I said, I don't want it to end. I get a bit teary just thinking about leaving for the last time. It's been a blast.

Wednesday ramble.
Solid few days since I last posted. On the EP podcast today I talked a little about my exercise goals, which are quite basic. I'm fully aware that I'm bi-polar in moving vigorously. I saw a funny meme the other day that said "I'm not lazy... I'm full of potential energy" and that describes me. Actually I do have one goal and that's to be functional. When GZ came up and we ran last week I said that I'd be fine and good just being able to do that sort of thing. And so I head out with what I'm seeing as a new appreciation for being able to do just that. I rode today, just messing around and ended with a KOM (stravatastical) on a route I've been riding frequently. I wasn't riding particularly hard but Tool's Schism came on my ear hole sound electronical fruit thingy and it was on. "I know the pieces fit 'cause I watched them fall away"... good stuff. Haven't we all had the pieces together only to watch them fall apart? Maynard is a freaking genius.
Appreciating being able to function at an above average level. For this country that is a bar that is set quite low. Fortunately I run in a circle that means I have to work a little to just hang. Being below average means I can't bang out a 100 mile run tomorrow... love it!
I spent the weekend in my favorite town in the world (maybe even the whole county) Leadville supporting athletes for the Silver Rush 50 bike. I mentioned a few times that I was happy I wasn't racing but that was misleading. I envied the motivation and excitement of the athletes racing. I wanted to be them again and I thought about the race on my rides this week. Again with my mindset I try to avoid considering beyond tomorrow.
I got some bad news today about one of my athletes that raced the 50 in Leadville and then drove home. He was diagnosed with a DVT (a blood clot in his calf.) This is devastating and an "injury" that could have killed him had a piece of the clot broken off and made its way to his heart. A reminder to athletes that muscle damage followed by a long period of sitting can end you. Compression gear, massage, and moving during travel is good. Possibly an aspirin but that is only what has been passed down word of mouth. Unfortunately his Leadman is probably over. I'm super bummed by this.

"KOM" > I'm a bit worried that when I drive through Wondervu I'm going to run you over on your bike while you're out for a ride up "The Col de Wondervu". Glad that has not happened. But I'm a pretty mellow driver.
That cowboy photo reminds me of my sister's father-in-law, I kid you not. Right out of a Marlboro ad, about halfway between that photo and Buddy Ebsen. Horses, ranch, whole nine yards.

A human being is made up of roughly 63% water, 22% protein, 13% fat and 2% minerals and vitamins. Every single molecule comes from the food you eat and the water you drink. Eating the highest quality food in the right quantities helps you to achieve the highest potential for health, vitality and freedom from disease.
Today's diet has drifted a long way off the ideal intake and balance of nutrients. The last 3 decades we have started eating much more saturated fat and sugar and less starch (complex carbohydrates) and polyunsaturated fats.
Even those who believe to be eating a well-balanced diet fails to get anything like the ideal intake of vitamins, minerals, essential fats and complex carbohydrates. It is not easy in today's society, in which food production is tied to profit. Refining foods makes them last, which makes them more profitable but at the same deficient in essential nutrients.
Nothing in the Western culture teaches us to be healthy. We may learn a few things from the parents. We are taught very little how to be healthy in school, university or by the media. Campaigns may advice against smoking and drinking but there is little guidance and few results. What we call health care is really 'disease care'.
Conventional medicine recommends weight loss and drugs to lower high blood pressure and cholesterol, but little attention is paid to the dietary factors. 1000 mg of vitamin C can significantly lower blood pressure, yet this is rarely recommended.
If you are reading this today and finding yourself struggling with your health. It may be your moods, depression, bloated, skin related issues, stomach cramps, heart burns then take a minute and look into your health. You are what you eat but it's not just what you eat that determines your health but also how well you digest, absorb and use the food.
It is only recently that it has become necessary to educate ourselves about the composition of food. Our ancestors learned effectively which foods were safe to eat using trial and error. These were balanced whole foods needed to maintain health. Today, our food supplies have been manipulated in such way that we no longer recognise what is and what is not a healthy food
If you need extra help, send me and email or drop me a comment below.
This week I decided to contribute to The Honest Project #VegoftheWeek Campaign. For 8 weeks Frances, creator of the Honest project website will pick one veg for us to cook with. It can be vegan, vegetarian or non-veg altogether. The whole point is to introduce more vegetables to your diet. Join the party here
Myself as a Nutritional Therapist I try to have at least 5 portions of vegetables a day.
[envira-gallery id="4523″]
Adding herbs, ginger, garlic, onions or leeks all counts. Although, I do tend to have something I can see on my plate and say yes my dinner contains more vegetables than meat and that's how it is supposed to be.
Anyhow! here is one way I add vegetables into my cooking. We are a family of 6 so bulking up a dish is almost required in my cooking. I load them with spinach, beans or legumes of some sort. This way, not only my family is getting the daily nutrients they need but it is also budget friendly. Specially if buying frozen.
How do you plan your meals, are you cooking for the family or your own. It will mean so much if you shared your health routine with us. You might inspire somebody you never know!
Please share your favorite cauliflower recipe by commenting below or on The Honest Project site or Instagram account.
Till next time.
