I used to love toast. For breakfast with layers of sweet honey, dripping over the sides, along with a coffee with a good amount of milk and sweetener. Or strawberry jam, the kind that is filled with berries that explode on your tongue on a side dish along with your bowl of cereal and breakfast smoothie. Toast for lunch, with baked beans and cheese, cosying up with a notebook and fluffy socks while the wind batters the doors but your safe inside. Toasted sandwiches at Costa, the kind full of mozzarella and green pesto, bursting full of different flavours. Toast as an after dinner snack, when you're still ravenous from the endless running around that day, with Nutella, sweet chocolatey hazelnut spread, or Peanut butter, the smooth kind, or both.
I stopped eating toast one day. I stopped eating bread. It was the yeast that scared me. I was convinced, to a point of not being able to pick up a tray of breaded chicken, that the yeast would slide down, through me, and start to fizz and bubble, inflating and stretching the stomach lining until it hung of me like a sad and old balloon. I was petrified to a point of not letting even the smell creep up a nostril, or for a piece to cling to the plate I was eating from. I checked everything that could have yeast in, scanning packets for the horribl ingredinent. Even things that had he word 'bread' in. Gingerbread lattes, which had been a favourite, gingerbread at Christmas, Pizza, Breadsticks, Breaded chicken. I couldn't even bare to look at any of them for nearly two years.
Today I got in the car and went to Costa. I ordered a regular latte with a shot of sweetener and watched the steam erupt from the milk frother and the scent of coffee snaking around the air. I looked at the toasties, the paninis, the ones that I used to love. Not today, I say. Maybe soon. The coffee is done and I clasp around it, gratitude radiating through a kind smile to the friendly barista. Down the steps, 1.. 2.. 3.. 4.. 5.. the ground floor 6.. 7.. 8.. 9.. 10.. and I'm at the entrance, which is now the exit. I'm tempted to put off walking out, but I know if I don't walk out now, I never will. I get in the car, wind down the window and breathe, the caffeine buzzing it's way into the bloodstream. We're speeding past cars and I want the engine to stop, for us to discover a puncture and have to call for help, and there is no toast in sight. But we keep rattling through villages, and it goes faster than usual. Perhaps we are speeding in time with the pulsing of veins inside me.
Drive, backing, gate, path, door. Inhale, exhale. I've barely sat down before I can hear the forgotten noises of bread and toasters, clinging onto hopes that perhaps there will be a bread shortage emergency broadcast and I won't be allowed to eat it. No signs of it. The buzz of electricity firing into the slice of brown and dreaded bread rings into me and I keep focusing on breathing, on the positives, which are starting to get slightly clouded. And then, it's there. A single, half slice of brown toast, a triangler piece of bread, topped with a teaspoon of honey. I stare at it, waiting for it to vanish. It doesn't. I reach out for it twice.. then five time, before the sticky piece of food is there, right in front of me, inches away from being consumed. I could put it down, I think. Scream and kick and refuse to eat it. Nobody can force it into me. I am weak. I am greedy.
I shake the thoughts away, and am granted a moment of peace from them, just enough to tear a slice of toast off and chew until it dissolves into toast soup, and then.. gone. I want to run a mile, and then three more. I want to do jumping crunches until I collapse and see stars. But I don't. I keep eating. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. But I don't. The honey is sweet, sweeter than it is drizzled into a black coffee. And the toast tastes sweet too. Halfway. This isn't so bad. The voices are loud, but aren't they always. And besides. They're only kicking off because I'm fighting them. I have to fight back fiercer. A sip of coffee, and I leave a tiny fragment of toast, but I always will. I lean back and try not to think. Years of worrying, and avoiding and in less than a few minutes, I have got over them. Well, sort of. I know I'll b back her tomorrow, eating another slice of toast, until I can eat a whole one, then two. Then a sandwich. Then a panini. Then pizza. Then anything in the whole wide world.
I let toast rule me for two years. I hate it, but I don't. And one day, I'll not care anymore.

SOURCE: Packaged Facts
July 18, 2012 12:54 ET
ROCKVILLE MD--(Marketwire - Jul 18, 2012) - Sales of prepared foods and ready-to-eat foods at retail will reach $32.45 billion in 2012, up 7.5% from 2011, according to "Prepared Foods and Ready-to-Eat Foods at Retail," a just-released report from Packaged Facts. The prepared foods retail net extends across a wide number of retail formats, but supermarkets command majority share. Supermarkets garner 60% of prepared foods purchase visits, trailed by Wal-Mart (15%) and convenience stores (12%).
The market for store-made meals and prepared foods -- which include rotisserie or fried chicken, hot pizza, hot food bars with Asian-style entrees, sushi bars, deli sandwiches, and soup and salad bars -- is doing well in this period of economic doldrums. That's partly because meals cost are not on par with fast food and family restaurant options, they beat them -- making them accessible to a wide range of household incomes. Strong, high-quality store-brand portfolios are a significant advantage for prepared foods retailers in keeping the price points of prepared foods down, and part of the winning formula. Retailers from Costco to Kroger to Safeway to SUPERVALU continue to grow and leverage their private label products in conjunction with developing their foodservice programs.
Although classic comfort dishes often hold sway in prepared food programs, supermarkets are increasingly providing and marketing fresh food items consistent with ongoing health trends, and supermarkets receive generally positive marks from consumers regarding prepared food healthfulness. Whole Foods has particularly been a trendsetter in educating customers on health, food and diet. Its Health Starts Here program, Wellness Clubs and Whole Kids Foundation not only serve to educate Whole Foods customers, they also build customer relationships and good will.
Most convenience store foodservice platforms, on the other hand, still operate under the assumption that the people buying them do not want to put health concerns first. According to Packaged Facts, this ignores the fact that millions of consumers do want to eat healthier fare -- and many might appreciate a tasty but healthy option just at the point when impulse and efficiency directs them to a convenience store.
And serving consumers is not just about providing quality, cost-effective, convenient, and healthful foods, according to David Sprinkle, publisher of Packaged Facts. It's also about providing an atmosphere that draws people in. This is why more and more supermarket operators are integrating "neighborhood" messaging into their strategies, and a reason big box players such as Wal-Mart are experimenting with smaller box formats.

I purchased this lipstick at the Sephora on 5th Avenue back in May at the insistence of the most fabulous makeup artist. For most of the spring and summer I wore pale pink or nude lips whenever I wore lipstick and therefore this color didn't receive much attention, despite me thinking that it was a beautiful color. Now that it is fall I have been wearing this lipstick whenever I want a slightly rich but not-to-dark shade on my lips.
I have never tried any Benefit lip products before this, and I must say I am impressed. The product goes on smoothly, feels silky on my lips, and is slightly moisturizing. Although this is a full coverage lipstick, it does not have a heavy matte texture. The finish is more glossy, meaning that you could wear Do Tell beautifully without having to wear a gloss over it.
The shade itself is a slightly cool toned pinky mauve. I think it is neutral enough that both cool and warm toned ladies could pull this off. This shade would look good on a wide range of skin tones from pale to medium-dark. While it is not a vampy berry color, I think this is the perfect everyday fall lipstick shade.
The packaging of this lipstick is functional and sturdy. The glossy black tube with white writing does the job; however, it is nothing too special. This lipstick has no detectable scent which is kind of nice as perception of smell is so subjective.
Overall, I am very impressed with this product. It is silky, pigmented and long-lasting. Here is a FOTD with me wearing Do Tell for your reference.
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog! I hope you found this review helpful and come on back, I have lots of reviews coming! Have a beautiful day!
XOXO, Caitlin

We've had more than two inches of rain here in the last week. It was the remnants of a tropical storm that came in from the southeast off the Atlantic. It came down slowly, and it soaked into the ground instead of running off. As a consequence of the rain, work has been on hold. A large load of gravel arrived today for the foundation drain system. I believe it's called "French drain." I have no idea what's French about it, but it should do a good job of protecting my foundation and keeping it dry.
The day lilies loved the rain. The grass and clover I planted last week is germinating profusely. The new grass and clover is too tiny for my camera to photograph.
It continues to amaze me the resources nature has for holding onto, and creating, soil, as long as there's some light, some water, and some nutrients. This fast-running weed seems to particularly like stony ditch areas. This is brilliant, because plants without runners would wash out before they get a strong purchase. There's something for every niche. I have no idea how the seeds arrive to give these things a start.
Speaking of Lilies, this one is growing too. She weighed 6.2 pounds when she went to get her shots last week. She's four months old now. The state she is in here is deceptive. She is not in a stop state. It is more a recoil state, because in just a few seconds she will spring up and storm down the hall. And speaking of French, she has learned to say, "Je suis terriblement mignon, non?"

Tim Nedow of Brockville, ON started his 2017 indoor season at the Grand Prix de Montreal with a shot put throw of 19.76m. This DePaul University graduate has thrown 21.33m indoors in 2016 and won the silver medal at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto.
Antoine Thibeault of Laval Rouge et Or, looked strong in the men's mile last month in Boston where he recorded a personal best of 4:00.12. In 2016 he won the CIS 3000m by over four seconds in a time of 8:10:20. He got his personal best in the 3000m steeplechase at the Payton Jordan last may with his 8:36.42. In 2012 he represented Canada the U20 World Championships in Barcelona.
Former teammate, Charles Philibert-Thiboutot won the 1200m-pursuit race at the Grand Prix de Montreal last Saturday with a strong 2:52.08. Charles may launch an attack on the Canadian mile record at the BU Last Chance meet in Boston on February 26th. Mo Ahmed will contest the 5000m at the same meet.

Weekly Ceremony of Torment
Rituals and ceremonies reinforce the inferior gender's consciousness of being an owned object. A being without agency.
There are matriarchal handbooks that codify protocols. Women create ceremonial performances that match their aesthetics and understanding of masculine psychology.
This Mistress Owner uses a spreader bar. She locks her male's stressful, awkward position. His knees and ankles ache. His own body tortures him. Merely to be alive is to suffer.
Women have the right to torment men. All that a slave has is a gift from the superior gender. Men should be grateful for food, water and shelter.
The tongue leash and pulley induce more fear and pain. This is a perfect reminder that she controls everything. She defines the quality of his life. Comfort is forever dependent on her good will.
The ritual concludes with a frontal whipping. Mistress Owners enjoys watching his facial responses to the lashes of her whip. The pleading in his eyes. Foolishly hoping for mercy, knowing none will be forthcoming.
Her whip pounds and cuts his scrotal sac. Pain becomes unendurable. His desperate mind shuts off.
Her hot piss revives him. He crawls to a shower, then to his cage.
His testicles ache for most of the week. By then it will be time to repeat this ceremony.

A machete is the probably the best and most versatile tool you can have in the outdoors or when camping or traveling in a wilderness area. Over a long period of time, the machete has proven itself useful time and time again as one of the main tools for survival in countries around the world. When you need to cut something, a machete will most definitely meet any need that arises. A machete can be used to harvest crops, cut a trail, build a shelter, cut firewood or as a very formidable weapon for use as protection against predators.
Machetes usually come in different lengths that range anywhere from 16 inches (i.e., kukri, etc.) to as much as 28 or 30 inches (i.e, cane knives, etc.). The shape and design of the actual blade varies greatly depending upon the type and style of machete. Larger and heavier varieties will allow you to cut heavier vines and bigger trees with less work and effort on your part than smaller versions. Most come with a rough edge but with a little file work can be made razor sharp. Heavier machetes with longer blades are also available in two-handed versions for easier use in chopping and cutting.

nHow can it work?
Melzack and Wall's Gate Control Theory of Pain argues acupuncture stimulates the myelinated A-delta fibres that can close the gate to higher centres from pain information conveyed in the small unmyelinated C fibres.
Release of neuropeptides (enkephalins and endorphins) and monoamines (5HT and noradrenaline) by needling plays a significant role. Research showing naloxone could reverse the effects of acupuncture gave weight to this theory. Trigger points are tender areas in a taut band of muscle that can cause referred pain. Firm palpation of a trigger point can be very painful, whereas needling into the trigger point can relax the muscle band and gives instant relief.
Many trigger and acupuncture points are co-located: a trigger point often found in the upper free border of trapezius is precisely at acupuncture point gallbladder 21.

Downtown Mixed-Use Project In Front of BAR This Week
CHS-based Jupiter Holdings is continuing its efforts to build a new dual-branded hotel and mixed-used development that would include office, restaurant and parking on a site at Meeting and Huger Streets downtown. It now includes a rooftop pool and an outdoor terrace with skyline views. The two hotels would be an Element extended-stay brand and an Aloft, a modern, boutique-style flag, both Starwood concepts. The plan is in front of the Board of Architectural Review for its approval this Wednesday afternoon. Abigail Darlington of The Post and Courier has the story.
134 Meeting Street Office Building Sold Downtown – at $279/SF (Leasehold)
134 Meeting Street CMB LLC, led by Sullivan's Island resident Pat Marr, purchased the 70,100 SF office building on Meeting Street between Cumberland and Queen Streets downtown. It sold for a reported $19.55M or about $279/SF excluding the land which is subject to a long-term ground lease. Other Marr-led investment groups have also purchased other downtown assets recently, namely the office building at 25 Calhoun Street and the 400 Meeting Street student housing community. John McDermott of The Post and Courier has the story on the acquisition of 134 Meeting Street.

Fighting Our Own Battles
We cannot fight the most important battles, the spiritual battles, alone. The way to be victorious all the time is to get on God*s side, and not our own. The way to get on the Lord*s side is to receive Jesus into our hearts and lives. I heard about two buddies who happened to be fighting on the same side of some issue. One said to the other: Well buddy, it*s you and me against the world and, quite frankly, I think we*re gonna lose. Loners have even less chance of victory than a couple of buddies. First of all, when we fight our own battles, we are going to pick the wrong battles and fight on the wrong side. We need to have the Lord put us in the right battles and on the right side of the battles.
Jeremiah 10:23: O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
2 Timothy 2:24: And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
Try to imagine who is going to win battles when they oppose themselves. When there is equal strength against equal strength no one wins. One who opposes God opposes himself and guarantees defeat.
Sometimes the Lord wins the battles all by Himself. Now and again He permits us to play some tiny role in a battle.
2 Chronicles 20:15: And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God*s.
In the Old Testament the army of God was the nation of Israel. In the church age, the army of God is the church.
Matthew 16:18: And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Believers need to be fighting with the Lord and in partnership with the believers in the body of Christ, the church. That includes the universal church (all believers everywhere) and a local church fighting local battles. If a believer is not a faithful member of a local church he is going to lose the spiritual battles that affect the local issues, the issues that affect him the most directly. The only spiritual battle that we must fight alone is the battle against our own flesh and we even have God*s help in that. One way to fight against God and oppose yourself is to skip church. Lone believers fight and lose all sorts of battles outside of churches. I want to be on the Lord*s side and win, how about you?
1 Samuel 17:47: And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD*S, and he will give you into our hands.
Exodus 14:14: The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
Ephesians 6:12: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
1 John 5:4: For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
Notice that the passage says our faith not just my faith.

Denver - July 1, 2014 - Jarome Iginla is heading back to the Western Conference, this time to play for the Colorado Avalanche on a three-year contract worth $16 million, according to multiple media reports.
Iginla scored 30 goals and had 61 points last season when he was on a one-year contract with the Boston Bruins. Iginla and the Bruins were hopeful of continuing the relationship, but Boston was unable to meet his contract demands because of its salary-cap constraints.
The Bruins have approximately $1.64 million in salary-cap space, according to CapGeek.com.
Iginla played the first 16-plus seasons of his NHL career in the Western Conference with the Calgary Flames before he was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins late in the 2012-13 season.
Colorado wasn't able to re-sign center Paul Stastny, who signed a four-year contract with the St. Louis Blues. It's possible now that Calder Trophy-winner Nathan MacKinnon moves from wing to center to take over Stastny's spot and Iginla fills the top-six role MacKinnon had occupied.
Iginla has 560 goals and 1,167 points in 1,310 games. He has scored 30 or more goals in 12 straight full NHL seasons. He had a combined 14 goals with the Flames and Penguins in the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season.

The ability to craft a solid essay is one of the most important academic skills a student can develop. From high school writing assignments to the SAT, college applications, and of course, university classes, the benefits of writing well cannot be exaggerated.
Designed for students who lack experience with the essay format, Introduction to Essays replaces confusion with confidence and smooths the transition into essay writing by providing students and parents with the tools necessary for continued development. The class is designed to give students the foundational knowledge and confidence to set them on the path to writing coherent, persuasive, and memorable essays.
Students are introduced to the structure, terminology, and thinking skills necessary for essay writing, including the following elements:
Students will write weekly assignments, including several five-paragraph essays. Each assignment will receive detailed, individualized feedback from the instructor.
In-class instruction is for one hour and fifteen minutes every week. Students will be expected to work on essays and other assignments at home following class.
Note: This class is less comprehensive than the year-long Essays I class. Intro to Essays is designed for students who need a quick boost in their writing. It is ideal for a young student who has done little writing before and needs a solid grasp of the basics before embarking on the school year, or an older student who struggles with organization or clarity and needs some focused, constructive feedback.

Stainless steel is the main difference between 304 and 321, 304 do not contain Ti, contains 321 Ti, Ti can prevent sensitization of stainless steel, popular is to improve the service life of the stainless steel and high temperature, that is to say under the environment of high temperature, suitable for 321 stainless steel plate than 304 stainless steel plate. Both 304 and 321 are austenitic stainless steels with similar appearance and physical properties except for a slight difference in chemical composition
First, titanium (Ti) 321 stainless steel requirements contained elements (according to the prescribed standards ASTM A182-2008 Ti content should not be less than 5 times of carbon (C) content, but less than 0.7%, the other note, 304, and 321 carbon (C) content is 0.08%), and does not contain titanium (Ti) in 304.
Second, the requirements for nickel content are slightly different, with 304 between 8 and 11 per cent, and 321 between 9 and 12 per cent.
Third, requirements for chromium (Cr) content vary, with 304 between 18 and 20 per cent, and 321 between 17 and 19 per cent.
So you can use a metal material analyzer or a chemical analysis method to determine the composition of these two materials and make a judgment
If you want to know the difference between other types of stainless steel, what's the difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel 304 and 201

Companies involved in tourism market are increasingly turning their attention to bitcoin. One such company is Emniyet Taksi, a taxi company operating in a Turkish seaside resort town of Marmaris. Such modern attitude toward payment options, the company representatives believe, might not only dramatically widen the clientele of the service but also help popularize bitcoin payment option in other countries beside Turkey, due to the popularity of Marmaris as a holiday destination among travelers worldwide. Besides, bitcoin operations benefit the establishment as well as the user, for they make payment transactions significantly faster and nullify possibilities of returns.
The idea to employ such novel approach belongs to Turkish entrepreneur Kürşat Öncül, who plans to widen the range of bitcoin-accepting tourist businesses. Restaurants, hotels, touring agencies and other companies of Marmaris are considering working with bitcoin following Emniyet Taksi example.
The Turkish company was not the first taxi company to make such decision, though; Hungarian-based service Budapest Taxi made the jump back in February, following 200 000 Euro investment by an interested local businessman. London cab driver Neal Belcher also made the news in January with his decision to accept bitcoin payments.

Toward realization of a low-cost terahertz time-domain spectroscopy system
The largest cost in building a terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) system is that of the femtosecond (fs) laser, which is used as the optical pump source for the THz emitter and detector in the system. Conventionally, mode-locked Ti:sapphire lasers are used as the optical pump source in THz-TDS systems. They are powerful and their pulse width can be as short as 10 fs. However, they are costly and bulky. Recently, low cost and stable fs lasers based on fiber laser technologies are available. Most of the fs fiber lasers oscillate at wavelengths longer than 1 μm, such as 1550 nm (the optical communication wavelength), and the conventional THz emitters and detectors, such as photoconductive antenna or nonlinear crystals, are not so efficient at this wavelength. Therefore, it is essential to develop THz emitters and detectors that are efficient at the communication wavelength for realization of a low-cost fs-fiber laser-based THz-TDS system.
In this talk, the following techniques or devices, which can be used with the communication wavelength (1550-1560 nm) femtosecond (fs) fiber-lasers, are discussed:
i. Sub-bandgap excitation of photoconductive antennas with low-temperature-grown GaAs (LT-GaAs) substrate,
ii. Cherenkov THz radiation from LiNbO3 (LN) crystal with optical waveguide structures,
iii. Electro-optic (EO) sampling based on non-collinear Cherenkov phase matching, and
iv. Spintronic THz emitters.

in Europe
The National Health Service (NHS) was first established in 1978 (Law
833) and subsequently partly amended in 1992 (DL. 502) and 1993 (DL.
517). It is a comprehensive universal NHS providing free care for
all citizens from birth to death. A new law is now being
discussed.It is based on a National Minister of Health, with
national capitation funding through the direct control of the 20
regional health authorities.
Direct financial responsibility is held
by the local district authorities, now transformed into trusts. Most
hospitals are directly managed by the district authorities. The
biggest hospitals, though, are now Trusts themselves with financial
autonomy.Apart from publicly owned health resorts, care is also
provided by agreement with private hospitals and specialists.General
practice is granted free of charge to all citizens. All district
inhabitants must choose their general practitioner (GP). Italian
general practice is list-based.
Almost all prescriptions and
referrals are decided by GPs who hold the entire clinical
responsibility for the patients. There are more than 56,000 GPs in
Italy.GPs are independent unsupervised medical practitioners paid by
the district authority on capitation (80 per cent) fee-for-service
and allowances (20 per cent). Terms of service are contracted and
agreed between GPs and the regional authorities every three years,
on a national basis.A new general practitioner's agreement is now
being negotiated.GPs are in charge between Sam and 8pm in private
practices.Out-of-hours services are performed by the National
Deputising Service with more than 20,000 doctors. They provide
urgent primary care during night hours, Saturday afternoons and
Sundays and holidays.
The new agreement provides possibilities of
innovation, eg, there is the possibility to create associations
between GPs.Terms of service for GPs include office and home visits,
diagnoses and treatment, prevention and screening as well as health
education. Working in general practice excludes any other medical
appointment by the NHS. Private medical activity is
allowed.Vocational training is now well established.The Ordine dei
Medici (FNOMCeO) exercises compulsory control on issues related to
deontology and medical ethics.Hospital care is also provided free of
charge. The Government introduced a new Diagnostic Related Groups (DRG)
system whose application is at the beginning.On the basis of income,
patients pay a contribution (co-payments) for specialist services
and for diagnostic procedure.The drug formulary includes free drugs
(first choice) drug with co-payments (second choice drugs) and
marginally effective drugs (entirely charged to patients).Authority
on capitation (80 percent) and with an overall medical population of
more than 31 5,000 doctors.Group work and team practices are rapidly
developing in general practice.
The remuneration of general practitioners
A GP is allowed a maximum of 1,500 (1,800 in some special cases)
patients on his or her list. This effectively places a constraint on
NHS income, since the payment system is a capitation one. NHS
earnings are therefore around £60,000 per annum and include around
20 per cent as reimbursement for expenses. All doctors are allowed
to work privately with limitations, except for GPs who are not free
to work privately with the patients on their list.

It will come at no surprise that the pinky finger is usually the weakest of your four fingers. Along with that the third finger, the ring finger, can often be a stubborn finger - a little bit more difficult to control than the other fingers. A good warm up session should include exercises that focus on that area of your hand, the pinky and ring fingers, with the goal of building up finger strength, dexterity and control.
Whilst showing a full music score for today's exercise may have looked fancy the diagram here gives a simpler way of looking at things. The exercise for today is also quite simple but can be demanding.
Before we get into playing the exercise we'll establish that is played over a C Major octave. We start on one C note, play a short sequence of notes and continue all the way across the notes of a C Major scale (all the white keys) until we arrive at the next C note. If you'd like to keep going, by all means, but for purposes here just one octave is fine.
Notice the order of notes played. The first four notes are the first four notes of the C Major scale being C - D - E - F. The numbers shown in the diagram indicate which finger to use. That is pinky (4), ring (3), index (2), pointer (1). Move up to the next note and repeat (D - E - F - G). Move up and repeat (E - F - G - A) and so on.
You'll always be leading with your pinky finger in this exercise. Just getting to the next C note is not enough. You actually have to arrive at the C note and play the four matching notes. When you're done, guess what! Time to head all the way back always leading with your pinky finger.
The exercise outlined above and shown in the diagram is for left hand. Feel free to play the same concept with your right hand. That would be C-B-A-G, B-A-G-F, A-G-F-E, and so on.
One last pointer. If your hand starts to hurt just stop. Give the other hand a shot. Over time you'll be able to play through this exercise smoothly and without feeling too much tension in your hands, forearm and wrists.

Sawyer is an author who really gets under my skin. His writing is the opposite of literary sci-fi, causing me to grit my teeth every time I see an award or nomination tossed his way. (The pop culture references, the predictable plot, the hand-holding, the characterization... you so rightfully point out are indeed irritating to no end.) And the immodest manner in which he self-promotes have daggers in my eyes. Like Brandon Sanderson, I find myself wonder: who reads this guy? And in answering the question I'm left depressed about the current state of the genre...ReplyDeleteReplies
Hating the novel, I glanced at the (always unreliable) Amazon reviews and was surprised that many people rated the book 4- or 5-stars. I held out to the end and hated the book even more with the god-awful epilogue. I was left with a similar question to your "who reads this guy?"--"who likes this guy?"Delete

Vanilla sprinkles cake
Difficulty: Easy
Time: 30 minutes plus 34 minutes baking
Serves: 12-15
Hannah wanted to bake a cake for her Daddy's birthday so I let her choose exactly what make. She requested a vanilla cake, with icing and sprinkles. Thanks to google, I found a recipe by Ashley, from Baker by Nature, which fit the bill exactly. I had to tweak it in a few places as the original recipe was American so uses slightly different ingredients and I wanted to make it a bit simpler for the kids but it turned out delicious and a nice birthday treat!
It's a very fun looking cake, and if your kids like decorating with sprinkles as much as mine, they should enjoy making it!
We never have buttermilk in the house and I don't tend to buy it especially for baking. You can make your own buttermilk if you add 1 tbsp of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup and top it up with milk. If you do that at the start of your baking by the time you need to use it, it will be ready.
For the cake:
200g (1 cup) granulated sugar
115g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
2 large eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 vanilla bean or 2 tsp vanilla extract
210g plain flour + 40g cornflour
( or 2 cups cake flour)
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
For the icing:
250g (2 cups) icing sugar / confectioners' sugar
3-4 milk
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 180C/170C Fan/350F
Grease your bundt pan
Get your kids to help you butter a bundt pan, making sure to get in all the nooks and crannies. We normally rip of a bit of the butter packet or use some greaseproof paper with a bit of butter on it and rub it in. You chould also use some melted butter and brush it on. Sprinkle it with flour covering all the surfaces, pour out the excess and set aside.
Beat the sugar and butter together
Measure the butter (115g) and pop it in the microwave to melt. Add to a large mixing bowl or freestanding mixer with the paddle attachment fitted. Add the sugar (200g).
Beat the butter and sugar together for a few minutes until the mixture is well combined and fluffy.
Add the eggs
Crack the eggs one at a time into a small bowl. Add them into your mixture, beating well in between each addition.
Add the vanilla and buttermilk
If you're using a vanilla bean, cut it in half length ways and scrape out the seeds. Add these to the mixture. If you don't have a vanilla bean you can use 2 tsp of vanilla extract instead.
Add the buttermilk (3/4 cup) in the mixing bowl.
Add the remaining dry ingredients
Measure out the flour (210g), cornflour (40g), baking powder (2 tsp) and salt (1/2 tsp) and add them to the bowl. (If you have cake flour you can use 2 cups and miss out the cornflour).
Turn the speed of the mixer down and beat everything until you have a nice smooth cake batter.
Bake the vanilla sprinkles cake
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt tin. Bake for 35-45 minutes. It's ready when a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Remove from the oven to cool. After 5 minutes, loosen the cake from the pan with a blunt knife and turn out on to a wire rack to cool completely. Don't worry if a few bits stick to the pan – the icing will cover them up.
Make your icing
In a small bowl or measuring cup, measure out the icing sugar (250g). Add a few tablespoons of milk and the vanilla extract (1 ½ tsp). Mix until it is all combined. Add another spoon of milk and keep stirring. Keep adding the milk a dribble at a time until the thin enough to pour but thick enough that it holds its shape. If it's too thin, add a little more icing until you have a good consistency.
Decorate your vanilla sprinkles cake
Pour the icing over the top of the cooled cake letting it drip down the sides, and then add sprinkles. I'd put them in small bowls to make it easier for the kids to then sprinkle nicely on top. It worked for Hannah, but Lewis just poured his bowl out all over one spot (as you can see in the pictures).

MNC executives view Nigeria as one of the foremost risks facing their SSA portfolios due to the country's lackluster growth. On my recent trip there, during which I spoke to executives, journalists, industry experts, and bankers, I found this pessimism gives an incomplete picture. While FMCG firms in particular are reporting that their customers' purchasing power is under pressure, dollar shortages that plagued the economy recently have eased. Government policy is also slowly becoming more accommodative of the private sector, and most MNCs remain insulated from the country's major security challenges. On top of that, after five quarters of recession, the economy is now showing signs of growth due to subtle policy shifts and higher oil revenues. We anticipate GDP growth of 1.6% YOY in 2018 and 2.6% YOY in 2019.
The reality, however, remains that MNCs selling to consumers are likely to see only moderate increases in sales as the economy returns to growth. This is because chronically high inflation—forecast at 16.5% YOY for 2017 and 12% YOY for 2018—continues to undermine spending power and prevents consumers from trading back up to the premium products they abandoned during the recession. Take Weyinmi, who lives in an upmarket suburb in Lagos. She told me she substituted her usual premium European brand detergent for a cheaper, locally-produced alternative because she found that price increases were squeezing her living standards. High inflation is also impacting MNCs' pricing decisions. A general manager of an FMCG firm, for instance, told me that he will likely have to raise prices by 50% before the end of the year.
Foreign currency availability also remains problematic for some MNCs, many of which have struggled to access dollars at competitive rates in recent months. While the availability of dollars is better than a year ago, restrictions in access will continue, especially for MNCs that have no local manufacturing presence. Although the new NAFEX foreign currency window (introduced by the central bank earlier in 2017) has become the primary conduit for accessing dollars for most companies, MNCs with limited access to foreign currency will be forced to rely on parent company support. A common approach taken by dollar-starved FMCG firms is where they ask their parent company for overseas loans denominated in euros or dollars, which allows them to procure goods overseas that are then shipped to Nigeria.
The policy landscape is looking somewhat more favorable for MNCs. Since President Muhammadu Buhari returned from three months of sick leave in London, he has continued to support reforms to the business environment that were introduced during his absence by Vice President Osinbajo. Recent government decisions suggest the government is also softening its approach to the role the private sector plays in delivering government services – for example, the Federal Government awarded concessions for the running of Lagos and Abuja airports to private sector firms. These developments mirror the sentiment of executives in Lagos, most of whom believe the government will maintain its slightly more pro-business approach over the coming year.
In addition, most MNCs remain insulted from the country's high-profile security challenges. Although Boko Haram remains active in the north east, the impacts of its insurgency are unlikely to impact the operations of MNCs that are typically focused on Lagos and Abuja. Furthermore, mounting tensions between the government and Biafran separatists are not expected to spiral out of control, and any unrest that does occur will likely be contained to the country's south east.

Adult stonechat by Ian Fisher
A conversation I had with two birding friends of very long standing, over a meal in Brampton, was bound to lead to ideas for new projects. The rest as they say is history. The result was 53 Stonechat pulli ringed, 48 of them with colour rings.
I recorded 28 breeding attempts by 17 pairs. Three of those pairs each reared three broods, the last brood not being ringed until mid-August. Fourteen nest record cards will be submitted to the BTO Nest Record Scheme. Nationally in 2013, 173 nest record cards were submitted for Stonechat and in 2014, 248. My contribution is therefore not insignificant and may well be the first from Durham.
All of the nests were on the ground, but the surrounding vegetation was either heather or bracken. Pairs were not consistent in their choice of habitat. One pair, for example, moved from bracken (see photo immediately below) to heather (see photos below) then to another heather site for its third brood.
The first nest (left) was in the bracken, centre of picture. The second nest (right), of the same pair, was in the bed of heather in the middle distance, 153m from the first nest site.
The heather chosen was invariably quite short and compact, the bracken always from the previous year. Those pairs which had multiple broods, sometimes only moved a few metres between successive nests, while others moved up to 153 metres. Favoured nest sites were in valleys and the nests were usually on south facing slopes.
Having colour ringed the pulli, the project continues into the autumn and winter with the hope that the wintering sites of some of these birds can be located. The pulli all have a green colour ring below the BTO ring on the left leg and a combination of two colours on the right leg. If suitable locations are found, attempts will also be made to catch adults on winter territories. It will though, require a combination of site and weather to be both suitable and even then the fickle nature of the birds may intervene.
The project will continue into next year and, of course, I will be keenly looking out for any colour ringed pulli from this year attempting to breed.
An added bonus from this year's fieldwork was the finding of two Whinchat nests, both broods being ringed. The sight of my first Whinchat clutch will be forever etched in my memory, the colour of the eggs being nothing less than stunning.
The two friends referred to in the opening lines are Stephen Westerberg and John Callion. Stephen has been involved in detailed fieldwork on Whinchats at Geltsdale in recent years and presented his findings at the North East Ringers Conference this year. John has been studying both Stonechats and Whinchats for about 20 years. Look out for his paper on Stonechat, which is to be published in British Birds, hopefully in December of this year. Many thanks go to both, for their help and support.
