You want to eat crepes but your friend is allergic to gluten? Or maybe you just don't have eggs anymore?
Positive: Delicious and fluffy with a nutty flavour, these crepes are incredibly easy to make.
Negative: If you wanted sweet crepes, I would not recommend them.
Ingredients (for about 5 crepes):
- 120 g gram flour
- 1 spoon of evo oil
- 270 ml water
Put chickpea flour in a large bowl. Add salt, pepper and evo oil. Combine ingredients with an electric mixer while pouring water slowly. Grease slightly a nonstick pan and heat it over medium heat. Pour a ladleful of batter on the hot pan and, like for crepes, distribute it evenly on the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on the first side then only 1-2 minutes on the other side.
My advice: You can enjoy them with almost anything: cheese/ham/salad, spinach/ricotta, cheese/tomato, bolognese sauce, béchamel/mushrooms, …

The Town of Millet has received several calls regarding the news of a cougar spotting near Millet last weekend. We have contacted Fish & Wildlife and they have advised that there NO THREAT TO THE PUBLIC! They stated that cougars tend to continue to roam after finding a food source and do not stay in one area for very long. They did monitor and there have been no further sightings since.
They did ask that we remind residents that cougars are more scared of humans than we are of them. If you are walking your dogs PLEASE ENSURE THEY ARE ON A LEASH, a cougar will not approach a human but they may feel intimidated by a dog, as long as the dog is on a leash they will be intimidated by the human and not approach.
If you have any questions or concerns, contact Alberta Fish & Wildlife at 780-427-4943.

A few months back,when a friend of mine asked me…Can you define love for me?When can you say you are in love?
I smiled and closed my eyes,
All I could say was this………….
You feel like dancing even when there is no music on.
You feel like smiling even when noone has cracked a joke.
You can smell his fragrance in the air even when he is miles away.
Your eyes twinkle when they see him and
if he is not there infront of you,
They look for him.
When he holds your hand,you feel as if the whole world's your stage
And you feel like a princess….his princess !!
If you are tensed or sad,you can easily manage that but if he is…. ,
Your whole world falls apart,
You feel like fighting the whole world,just to bring that smile back on his face.
Before meeting him,you pray only for yourself but after meeting him,
you beg for his smiles,his happiness,his success,
He simply steals your soul and comfortably resides there inside you,
your heart calls his name every second instead of lub-dub :)
Even if you are an introvert ,you feel like sharing everything with him,
Even if its something related to brushing your teeth :)
You feel like listening to him for hours,
And You wont be able to sleep at night without listening to his "hello"
When he is not around ,you crave for him,
You miss him badly,
You feel like curling yourself inside his arms,
You feel utmost protected inside his arms,
Even when you know, he is no superman.
That's love :)
I replied.
I replied.
P.S Heys guys!I am so sorry for not reading your posts.I am very busy thz days.Hope
you will understand,I will come back soon..:)
Take care!!

An armed and masked man arrested in a park moments after telling police he wanted to 'kill Asians' in revenge for the Manchester Arena bombing has been caged.
Christopher Gordon was wielding a kitchen knife and wearing a balaclava when an officer arrested him in Birchfields Park, between Longsight and Rusholme.
The area of south Manchester was described in court as being 'heavily populated by the Asian community.'
Gordon, 33, has now been jailed for 22 months by a judge who said the 'tragic and horrendous' attack was no justification for his behaviour.
Prosecutor Simon Barrett told Manchester Crown Court that racially-motivated hate crimes increased four-fold in the month after the May 22 bombing at the Arena , which claimed the lives of 22 people and left around 250 others injured.
The court heard a female officer had to threaten to deploy her Taser on Gordon after catching up with him at dawn in Birchfields Park in the early hours of June 7.
A jogger had told her 'there's a man down there with a knife wearing a balaclava'.
The court was told Gordon dropped the knife when warned, but as he was arrested, said: "I'm f****** sick of these b******* bombing our country, they need to be sorted out."
He then referred to 'killing Asian b*******', Mr Barrett said.
Minutes earlier Gordon had phoned 999 and told the operator that if police did not come and get him he would 'kill somebody'.
He told them he was in Birchfields Park, that he had a black mask on and a knife, and said he was 'going to kill the b******* who f****** blew us up'.
"I'm coming for them Asian b*******. I'm not promising that I'm not going to walk down the park and find an Asian person," he said.
Gordon, who works as a cleaner, later admitted making threats to kill - a racially-aggravated public order offence - and possessing a bladed article.
Prosecutor Simon Barrett told the sentencing hearing Gordon had been drinking on the day of the incident and had earlier made drunken calls to police in which he 'reported a robbery and indicated he had not paid a fine'.
Interviewed following his arrest, Gordon 'accepted his wrongdoing', but denied being racist, said he had 'friends of different colours', and that he did not intend to kill anybody.
Gordon's defence barrister, Gwen Henshaw, said his offending came about because crises in his own life and the crisis in the city coincided, leaving him 'confused, muddled and grief-stricken'.
"He finds what happened abhorrent, he his horrified by his own actions, he told me he sat in his cell with his head in his hands thinking 'what have I done, what have I said?'", Miss Henshaw told the court.
She added: "At the time he had suffered bereavement, he was out of work for the first time in his adult life, he started to abuse alcohol.
"He spent some time in St Ann's Square looking at the flowers and feeling - as every right-thinking member of society was and still is - shocked and grief-stricken by what happened at Manchester Arena.
"He doesn't quite know how he found himself in the park. He would wish me to tell the court he meant no harm, does not hold racist attitudes and was dealing badly with crises within his own life and crises in society."
Sentencing, Recorder Mukhtar Hussain QC said: "Young people and children lost their lives, many, many were injured and the city will suffer for a very long time - one can understand the feelings that would generate in Mancunians.
"But that does not in any way justify targeting a vulnerable group. The message must go out that the courts will protect ordinary law-abiding citizens of this country."

Chaz Kangas, writer for The New York Times and Complex Magazine, has announced an R.A. the Rugged Man autobiography.
The project, which was announced on ratheruggedman.net, will be penned by R.A. with Kangas.
The Long Island emcee's career goes back to the early 90s, and even collaborated with the Notorious B.I.G.
Other artists to recently get the autobiographical treament are Common and Prodigy.
Read the announcement below:
"R.A. has lived such an unbelievable life, it reads as if every urban legend you heard as a kid not only actually happened, but all happened to the same person! If the average life story of a rapper is an up-and-down roller-coaster ride, RA's is an entire amusement park. Considering how he's been surrounded by death, hardships, hookers, riots, blacklisting, lawsuits and infamous industry beefs, perhaps the most shocking thing about him is how the full story has gone untold. That is, until now.
Beyond countless industry tales of violence, sexual harassment charges, deranged depravity and stories involving the likes of Russell Simmons, The Wu-Tang Clan, Notorious BIG, Puff Daddy, Eminem and Mobb Deep, with this autobiography we hope to also explore R.A.'s hinted-at family life. The story of the Thorburns is one of the most compelling portraits of a post-everything American family I've ever come across. Following his father's stint in Vietnam (as covered in RA's award-winning verse from the song "Uncommon Valor") they endured disease, poverty and death, yet had a strong enough foundation to be the most stable broken home you'll ever find. Due to his father being affected by Agent Orange during the war, R.A.'s sister Dee-Dee was born unable to both speak or walk; his brother Maxx was born paralyzed and blind. R.A's older sister Lisa married the infamous ex-Pagan motorcycle outlaw 'One Eye' Jay. from the constant array of thugs, religious zealots and alleged murderers to the FEDS raiding the Thorburn's family home, the whole truth will finally be revealed
There are very few books on Rap or Rap artists in the marketplace, and far too many are preoccupied with authors making a grand social statement or selling you their college thesis. With R.A.'s autobiography, I hope to accurately paint a picture of one of the most turbulent musical forces who has outlasted several generations of his peers and maintained a constant relevance in a genre whose attention span borders on non-existant. It's the uncensored, unfiltered life of a rap artist in the rap industry who makes rap music, and it's going to give your local bookstores a much needed dose of Ruggedness."

Normally when caffeine has been flowing through me in a classroom environment, it's been because of an upcoming test or final. But at Buddy Brew Coffee on Kennedy Boulevard in Tampa, I got to actually taste the fruits of my not-so-laborious studying... and those fruits were roasted into delicious coffees that helped me learn more about the drink that runs much of my existence.
I headed to Tampa's most well-known roaster for a coffee cupping: it's like a wine tasting, but instead of grapes it's roasted beans being examined and explored for taste and flavor. And for six fellow caffeine addicts and myself, we came to learn more about the beverage that gives us life every morning. We attendees studied hard and took notes, and it was clear this was a class for coffee nerds and those that aspire to the title.
After a complimentary glass of beer, our teachers dove right into how different coffees from across the world are harvested and blended for flavor. All of the beans we saw were Arabica, the more popular choice of bean compared to Robusto. But where those Arabica beans were grown (as well as how they were roasted) made a great difference in the profile of the six different types of coffees we tested. The Sumatra seemed to have more depth due to its wet-hulling process, the Brazilian holding a bit less acid. All of these subtle tones of taste are picked up on the flavor profile, expertly charted here to help give descriptions to the notes running through your mouth.
"They're learning how to separate those flavors, and identify what they like and dislike in particular coffees," said Phillip Holstein, Director of Coffee for Buddy Brew Coffee. "They get the opportunity to understand coffee better, in relation to how it's processed and how it's grown, and what can be expected from each of the different regions around the world in flavor." Holstein served as co-teacher for our class, and not only was he the most informed person coffee I've ever met, he can tell stories of how Buddy Brew travels across the planet to find sustainable, well-sourced beans for their roasters.
They call it a coffee cupping, and you see why immediately: a series of handle-free cups with unfiltered fresh-ground coffee in the bottom awaited us when we arrived. Hot water was poured over the ground beans, and after waiting the froth was removed via a dual-spoon scraping method. But don't think we were shotgunning the go-go juice right from the mugs: with this much to taste, we slurped our way around to each cup individually with a fresh plastic spoon each time.
The slupring, as one would with noodles in Asia, helps both to aerate the coffee as well as get the full flavor profile across your entire mouth. It looks and particularly sounds goofy at first, but by the end of class the loud technique seemed pretty normal.
"Coffee is like a produce item: it's best to be enjoyed fresh," said Josh Bonanno, Buddy Brew's Corporate Trainer and our other proctor for the evening. "We're trying to get people to drink it in a very timely fashion, drink it within a week to two weeks tops to really get the best out of it"
"Really getting to know the product helps build an intimacy with it that kind of teaches you to enjoy it more."
After over an hour of learning and slurping, I could pick up slight differences in the beans before me, but nothing that piqued my soda-overwhelmed palate. Phillip said he was getting notes of lemongrass in something I found pretty caramel. The tastes others in the class were picking up seemed a bit lost on me, and as someone that loses the nuance of a lot of music due to an ear made out of slot machine tokens, I thought this was another case of subtlety and nuance evading my senses.
But then we took the only test of our class: nine cups arranged in groups of three, where two in each group would be the same and one would be different. The mission? Find the cup where one of these things is not like the other.
To my shock and awe, I was the only student to pick the correct cup all three times. As someone that has yet to claim a dollar on HQ Trivia, it was a surprising victory, especially when I felt I wasn't getting the notes my classmates were tasting. Maybe there's some hope for my forlorn tastebuds yet.
Each class member also went home with a bag of the Buddy Brew beans of their choice, and with a much greater understanding of what it takes to create the deliciousness which is our staff of life. If you want to take a tour of lands far away via their perfectly-roasted yields, then this class is for you.
And be sure to aerate, but still only sip, especially during the evening classes: if not you might be up a bit too late before bedtime.

Slow dance
We are invited to write a Palindrome poem today by Mary at dversepoets.com Also called mirror poetry, it reflects like an image in a mirror.
I still have all my memories
the pressed corsage of peonies
from the slow dance our young hearts had
before the war took the young lad
before the stars all turned around
until the day when they were found
Words spoken from out of the blue
sent on an angel's wing anew
How is it possible you asked
for the present to mirror the past?
For the present to mirror the past,
how is it possible you asked?
Sent on an angel's wing anew,
words spoken from out of the blue
Until the day when they were found,
before the stars all turned around
Before the war took the young lad
from the long dance our young hearts had,
the pressed corsage of peonies -
I still have all my memories

This is a really meaningful palindrome poem, Kathy. I can't decide which is my favorite way of reading it - forward or backward. Actually, I think the meaning is heightened when it is read BOTH ways - as you wrote it. I feel the poignancy, the sadness, the nostalgia as I read your words. And that picture goes with it wonderfully.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you, Mary.Delete
The palindrome form seems to stress the memories the persona has of the past. I also liked the way you used 'the pressed corsage of peonies' - a detail for others, a symbol for the person who wistfully remembers. You have written a truly great poem, Kathy.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you, Gabriella.Delete
It makes it all the more interesting when converted in Palindrome writing. The flow gets smoother and pleads for itself. Wonderful write Kathy!ReplyDelete
Thank you, Hank.Delete
Nice. Your one word change is really effective in the mirror. Full of emotion. Of memories. Of loss, and living beyond it as well. Nicely played.That they could all make it home.ReplyDeleteReplies
Indeed, thank you.Delete
some things are hard to forgetReplyDelete
This is such depth. You have really worked hard to make both halves be as smooth. The tragedy of war will a burden even go a survivor,ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 11, 2015 at 10:17 PM
Oh this is a heart-grabber, isn't it. Well Done!!ReplyDelete
both the versions resonate how war wrought havoc in life....hope one day humanity will truly replace guns with flowers...ReplyDelete
Oh, beautifully done!ReplyDelete
Chapeau, for a beautiful poem to a nigh-on impossible prompt.ReplyDelete
Somehow the repetition is just perfect for memories. No doubt because they are in their own way palidromatic.ReplyDelete
This worked very well Kathy ~ The emotional angst and sadness specially in the second stanza brought it home for me ~ReplyDelete
Exquisite writing, Kathy! Your words fit the form and image eloquently...tragically.ReplyDelete
A strong palindrome, a timeless message; the Viet Nam image gives it a sense of place (what I think of as my war), but the tone, the voice, the sad beautiful words themselves resonate with Korea, WWII, even stretching back further to WWI. You rocked the form for sure. I get more impact from the first part; but then mirror images are often slightly distorted.ReplyDelete
This is perfection - not the form but the words themselves. Both halves enhance each other beautifully. The pressed peony corsage is a sweet and poignant symbol it is. This is so timeless, it could be read for any of the dreadful wars. The second verse is so full of anguish - a true mirror image.ReplyDelete
(:..Petaled corsages love past..ReplyDelete
pasting pages.. of dust gone black..
love of mine.. drifts light.. sparkling eyes.. love lives within
within lives love.. eyes sparkling.. light drifts.. mine of love
black gone dust of.. pages pastings..
past love corsages Petaled..:)

This is so sad.ReplyDelete

A sweet mix of sorrow and treasured memories. Truly reflective in story and in form.ReplyDelete
All comments, constructive and otherwise, are welcome and appreciated here. Thank you to those who show an interest in my quirky style of writing, photography, painting, and presenting a feeling or thought and for stopping by A Dwelling by the Sea..

We have been reading Ramayana for several centuries; there is more sociology, anthropology, geography, history, tourism, travel news, religion, nature, astrology, ethics etc in it. Not many people considered those aspects. There is a book with the title Glimpses of Bharatiya History written by Dr Rajendra Singh Kushwanha published in 2003. It has several interesting information. What I have found new in it Rama's travel from Uttar Pradesh in India to Sri Lanka. He had spent 14 years outside Ayodhya, his birth place, roughly calculated for 5113 days (365 days X 14 years + 3 leap year days= 5113).
On his way, he met lot of sages, worshipped Banyan tree and Shiva, mingled with hunters like Guha and monkey heroes, killed unruly cannibals, fought with Vali, established a Sri Lankan exile government of Sri Lanka on India soil under Vibhishana, fought and killed Ravana.
We see at least four firsts in the world,
1.First Exile Government in the world (Sri Lankan Govt. under Vibhishana on India soil)
2.Longest walk by an ancient king ( as far as we know Alexander did not walk; he rode on a horse called Bucephalus; more over Rama lived before Moses and others. Later Adi Shankara did it)
- Returned the kingdoms he won and installed the local leaders as kings ( Sugriva, Vibhishana)
4.Punished his own wife because one dull witted, ignorant lout complained or suspected; his policy was Caesar's wife must be above suspicion!
Dr Ramavatar Sharma has done some extensive research using available Ramayanas, folk tales and local beliefs. Though not all the devotees or researchers may agree, it is a good starting point. it lays the foundation for future research in this direction. I have given below the map and the 126 (plus the starting point and finishing point Ayodhya) places Rama, Lakshmana and Sita visited:

High Speed X-ray TDI Camera for Demanding Inspection ApplicationsHamamatsu Photonics32, Hamamatsu-city, Japan
Hamamatsu Photonics are pleased to announce a brand new device for low level X-ray imaging, the C12200-321 X-ray TDI (Time Delay Integration) camera. This new camera is designed for high speed inspection of moving objects. Compared to conventional X-ray line-scan cameras using CMOS arrays, the TDI CCD at the heart of the C12200-321 provides greater sensitivity, high resolution (sub 50 micron pixel size) and high dynamic range.
TDI CCDs employ a stack of linear arrays, aligned with and synchronised to the movement of a moving object to produce a continuous video image. As the image moves from one line to the next, the integrated charge moves along with it, providing higher resolution images at lower light levels than is possible with a conventional line-scan camera. This allows use of the C112200-321 in industrial applications requiring higher speed and / or higher image quality.
The camera incorporates a fibre-optic plate to shield the CCD from incident X-rays and the CsI scintillator is optimised for a 25 kV to 90 kV operation range. The X-ray camera module provides a 12 bit digital output via a CameraLink interface and operates from a 15V power supply. The C12200-321 features 4608 x 128 pixels. With a large CCD pixel size of 48 micron, this gives a total imaging area of up to 221 mm x 6 mm and a readout speed up to 36.8m/min.
The C12200-321 can be adopted in a wide variety of NDT inspection applications including PCB inspection, surface mount component inspection, packaging, pharmaceuticals, pipelines, moulded metallic components, tyres, turbines, building materials, bone and glass in food stuffs, bottles, tin cans and many more.

I have grown so-o-o-o weary of hearing Donald Trump and his political brethren continue to harp on those who allegedly favor "open borders" and allowing anyone to enter the country anywhere at any time.
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen has joined that amen chorus by declaring that those who favor "open borders" are chiefly responsible for the deaths of two children who were taken into custody after entering the country illegally with their parents.
Spare me. Please!
The "open borders" argument has become the president's latest straw man. He holds it up and then knocks the stuffing out of it by insisting that his foes don't favor border security of any kind.
Gad, man!
I can speak only for myself. I oppose The Wall. I do not favor "open borders." I want border security as much as the president of the United States. I favor U.S. Border Patrol agents using whatever means they have available to them to arrest those coming in illegally.
I also want U.S. immigration policy to reflect a nation that wants to work with these folks if they are seeking asylum. If they are fleeing repression and hardship in their home country, then we should protect them. Deporting them to the place they are fleeing simply isn't part of the American spirit.
Open borders? That is a red herring. It fuels a demagogue's arsenal of fiery rhetoric.

If you happened to be looking up at the moon on March 17, you may have been able to observe the brightest lunar impact ever recorded.
On the night of March 17, if you were looking at the moon at just the right moment, you may have noticed a bright flash of light. NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office has revealed that that flash was the result of a boulder-sized meteor slamming into the moon. This meteor impact has been the brightest impact seen on the moon in the eight year history of the monitoring program.
"We have seen a couple of others in the 'wow' category but not this bright," said manager of NASA's Lunar Impact Monitoring Program Robert Suggs. Suggs works at the Marshall Spaceflight Center in Huntsville in Alabama, and says that of the 300 or so lunar impact events that have been logged over the years, the impact on March 17 was by far the brightest.
Suggs first noticed the impact on one of The NASA monitoring program's 14-inch telescopes. For about one second, the blast shone as bright as a 4th magnitude star. "It was so bright!" he recalled. Researchers estimate that the meteor was about 40 kg and 0.4 meters wide. It crashed into the moon at speeds of 56,000 miles per hour, releasing as much energy as five tons of TNT. They believe the resulting crater will be about 20 meters wide.
Bill Cook, another researcher for the program, believes that the lunar impact may have been part of a much larger event. On the same night as the lunar explosion, Cook says that a large number of deep-penetrating meteors were detected hitting the Earth's surface. He is working on a hypothesis that the Earth-moon system plowed through a stream of material that pelted both worlds with meteoroids.
The purpose of the program is to monitor new forms of space debris to see if they pose any kind of threat to Earth. NASA scientists believe that this recent lunar impact is a prime candidate of that goal.
The program's data could also help prepare for potential long-term manned missions to the moon.

Designing the Ashlynne, B.L. Rieke's 2017 Model Home
B.L. Rieke Custom Homes's new Ashlynne model home, winner of the KCHBA's "Pick of the Parade" and "Distinctive Plan & Design" awards, is a prime example of innovative design that blends the comfort of a traditional home with the flair of modern finishes. Overall, this stylish yet functional home was made possible by the combined talents and hard work of the B.L. Rieke Design Team and their suppliers and subcontractors.
A "Fresh Look" for B.L. Rieke Custom Homes
Designing the Ashlynne was no small feat for seasoned interior designer Toni Rieke and her assistant designer Beth Weir. They wanted to create "a fresh look" for B.L. Rieke's new generation of homes, something that incorporated current trends and the business's signature style.
"Times are changing," says Toni Rieke, "We wanted to incorporate new design elements while staying true to our brand." In an effort to mix the new with the old, Rieke and Weir experimented with grey tones, warm features, and modern accents, creating a beautifully unique modern rustic style. "We wanted to show homeowners how they could incorporate grey colors and still keep the house warm and inviting."
The Inspiration Behind the Ashlynne
The Ashlynne's modern rustic style was inspired by various design elements and inspirational photos collected by Rieke over the last several years. Rieke and Weir then found inspirational elements and pieces to act as starting points for the design in every room. For instance, the design in the Den's design was based on the armchairs found while furniture shopping.
"Art served as a big inspiration for most of the model," Rieke adds, referring to the variety of modern and western chic art pieces used throughout the home. The horse and bird-themed artwork in particular is a common thread, helping to tie various room styles together. "We built the design around our favorite pieces that we found," she claims.
The Art of Simple, "Feel Good" Design
Essentially, each room's unique design was built around interesting pieces of furniture or art, creating a "soft" visual focal point. After determining this focal point, Rieke and Weir started picking larger pieces first and then smaller pieces later to complement the central art or furniture piece. Doing that helped keep the design simple, elegant and comforting, which are all key elements in B.L. Rieke's award-winning interior designs.
"It's better not to overdo it," Rieke cautions, "Over-decorating is overly stimulating—it's too much to look at." Instead, she suggests to "start big then go small" by choosing your big pieces, like furniture and fixtures, first and then working your way down to the small, accessorizing pieces. "You want your mind to be at ease. So, if something feels 'off' about a room's design, try pulling a few smaller things out and live with it for a while to see if it feels better."
Effective Visualization, Successful Design
Rieke also recommends creating "vision boards" to help you visualize your designs, thus making the designing process easier. In a nutshell, vision boards are compilations of pictures and sketches of design ideas, furniture pieces, colors, accessories, and more. They can be made on or offline and can be organized in whatever way makes sense to you. For example, Rieke and her design team create vision boards using whiteboards and sites like Pinterest and often organizes them by room type, like "Kitchen" and "Master Bedroom," or object type, like "Paint Colors" and "Accessories."
Thanks to effective design methods like these and their talents for visualization, the B.L. Rieke Design Team succeeded in fashioning the Ashlynne plan into a truly spectacular, award-winning home. With everything said and done, it is certainly a home that B.L. Rieke is proud to put its name on.
"Honestly, I love the entire home. I like the way that it all works together and fits a variety of lifestyles and home dynamics. It's a home where you can just come and relax and feel good in."

Rice Business Veterans Association awards $14,000 in cash prizes
A nanotech indicator that seals medicine packaging and allows consumers to verify product authenticity won top honors and one of the largest initial investments at the fifth annual Veterans Business Battle at Rice.
SafeStamp, a Nashville, Tennessee-based venture with chief research and development conducted at Texas A&M University, created technology that glows orange with breath and blue with touch using complex quantum-level reactions that make it nearly impossible to counterfeit. It received a $5,000 prize for placing first in the venture category and also received a $50,000 initial investment offer from angel investing group Beachhead Investments, with opportunity for more financing.
Twenty companies from across the country pitched their ideas to a panel of investors April 12 as part of the two-day event hosted by the Rice Business Veterans Association, a student group of military veterans enrolled in Rice's Jones Graduate School of Business. The group awarded $14,000 in prizes from its funds as it hosted investment groups to listen to the pitches and meet with the business owners.
The top five businesses were invited to repeat their presentations April 13, and initial investment offers totaled $120,000. Additional investments, which are now being negotiated, have historically grown after the event; in 2018, the combined $550,000 offered to companies the day of the event grew to $950,000 funded after negotiations.
"Each of the contestants deserved serious consideration for investment, and the very close competition scores reflected that," said Mike Mundey, the event's co-chair. "We look forward to seeing these promising businesses develop and will do our best to continue to connect them with resources, mentors and opportunities."
Amor Oral, a Houston-based manufacturer of flavored personal lubricants, placed first in the owner-operator division with a $4,000 prize and received a $20,000 investment offer from Beachhead.
Off Duty Blue, a software management system for law enforcement agencies to manage third-party security services requests, received a $50,000 investment offer from Beachhead.
Additional prizes went to the following companies:
- Randian, a Los Angeles company that integrates shopping with television shows, won second place in the venture category ($1,000).
- Maco, a New York City company that uses crowdfunding for military care packages or any other gifts took third place in the venture category ($1,000).
- Knifehand Nutrition, a Syracuse, New York, aproducer of frozen plant-based meals took second place in the owner-operator category ($1,000).
- Zanbazan, a College Station, Texas, manufacturer of clothing for nursing mothers, won in the best one-minute pitch category ($1,000).
- And I Like It Cheesecakes, a Dallas-based company that makes sugar-free, keto-friendly cheesecakes, took the prize for best business booth ($1,000).
Veterans Business Battle has helped bring more than $3.5 million of investments to veteran-owned businesses with the goal of launching as many as possible. The two-day event included learning sessions about financing and entrepreneurship as well as networking with investors and business leaders.

Journalist - Bill Hemmer MAG
While studying journalism at Brown University this summer, I was fortunate to score an interview with Bill Hemmer of FOX News Channel.
What did you major in at Miami University?
I was a broadcast journalism major. I was able to take advantage of a fairly large media market, which was critical tome. As a sophomore, I had an internship at Channel 5 in Cincinnati and,as a junior, got hired primarily to work weekends. I took a producer's job and worked there for almost three years. The lesson is that it's very important to understand the value of an internship - whether it's TV or anything else, people hire those they know. When it comes time to fill entry-level positions, if they're familiar with you as a person, people will reach for you and you will be in a position to get the job.
How did you get to CNN?
I hired an agent to look around the country to seew here I could go. My agent got me an audition with CNN in Atlanta, and Igot the job. That was the summer of 1995.
Why did you decide to move to FOX?
CNN asked me to be White House correspondent and I wasn't prepared to leave New York.Fortunately, I had a lot of options and was able to work it out with FOX.
What are some of your favorite events that you have covered?
Countless great events: the war in Kosovo; the election recount in Florida; a month in Jerusalem that I remember quite vividly;9/11 for six weeks; Kuwait; Afghanistan after that, and the second Gulf War.
In terms of interviews, how do you get people totalk to you who don't want to?
Preparation is your best ally. If you've done your homework, you can get a lot of knowledge from your research. Figure out where a person's coming from, know what they've said before about a certain topic or subject. Also,remember to be an understanding human being. Sometimes you're involved in sensitive subjects for others and it's important to be mindful that they have a heart, too, and you could show that on TV.
Do you get nervous or practice when you interview someone famous?
Practice, no. I think a touch of anxiety is a good thing. I think nerves are negative energy while anxiety can be a positive energy. A little bit of fire in the belly sometimes improves your performance.
How is it different interviewing politicians or public figures versus others?
The political strategists always come with what they're going to say. Often politicians also come with what they're going to say, and it's your job to get an honest, different answer from what they've said in the past. That's one of the tricky things oncable news: people are paid to be a certain way and be good at it.It's tough to get other answers.
Name a few people you admire.
I've always admired Peter Jennings and Dan Rather.
I think they have an ability to speak into the camera with style and eloquence.
Any advice for aspiring journalists, particularly in terms of interview skills?
There is no substitute for experience. In order to perfect the craft, you have to do it. That means repetition and practice and learning how to write, whether it's taking courses or getting that internship. It's important for people to learn your work ethic and style.
Once you have a job, you want to push and push and take on more responsibility with a level of patience, too. There's a common frustration level about getting as much as you want right away. I would urge patience and you really have to get into it for a good three years before you settle into a comfort zone and get the dream job. Sometimes it takes a lot of transition, hopping from city to city, but I think it's an incredibly rewarding profession. I get to see history unfold before my eyes. I would encourage people to remember that.

On last June, YSNAP got a chance to learn from Family Planning Organization of the Philippines about youth mobilisation. Philippines is one of the country where young people and particularly young people in SRHR movement involve meaningfully.
We were visiting three of FPOP's chapters; Iloilo, GenSan, and Tandang Sora and met a lot of dynamic young people!
Outreach activity by FPOP Iloilo chapter
The youth network in Gensan chapter where young people from different activism has worked together to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS.
Two dynamics young people in GenSan, Marie and Fitz who facilitated session on youth's sexuality.
In the mid of our visit, we were having a dinner with some youth advocates in Manila. They shared a lot to us their experience working with youth's SRHR and Reproductive Health Bill that has not yet been passed by Congress in Philippines for 14 years! The dinner was nice and we got a lot of insight how YSNAP can build youth network in regional level.
Our last visit is to Tandang Sora chapter where at that time we visited them, they were doing outreach and mobile clinics to young Men who have Sex with Men (MSM) and Transgender (TG) community.
To sum up, it's fun to be in Philippines where young people are very dynamic and have a lot of room to explore!

Indian-American jailed for selling illegal pills, loses US citizenship
Washington, April 29 (IANS) A 29-year-old Indian-American was stripped of his US citizenship after being sentenced for more than five years in jail for conspiring to illegally distribute male enhancement pills imported from China.
Ismail Ali Khan was also convicted and sentenced for falsely stating that he was not a criminal on his application to become a naturalized US citizen, federal prosecutors said on Friday.
Prosecutors said Khan, a resident of Decatur in Georgia, and others illegaly imported
pills from China containing an active ingredient in Viagra and distributed them throughout the US, Patch news portal reported.
He was part of a criminal export ring that hatched an elaborate scheme to import to the US, male enhancement pills with names such as "Maxman," "Happy Passengers" from China.
The ring's plot included mislabelling scores of drugs to evade detection by the Food and Drug Administration and US Customs and Border Protection.
The drugs were labelled as beauty products, pottery, coffee, and tea, federal prosecutors said.
Khan's sentence would be followed by three years of supervised release, according to the report.
"This defendant endangered the health of countless individuals by illegally importing and distributing drugs that can be obtained in the US only with a prescription written by a licensed, medical professional," US Attorney John Horn said.
"What's more, this defendant became a naturalized US citizen by giving a false statement to the government about his criminal history, while he was engaged in this illicit drug scheme.
"Khan's willful criminal pursuit earned him more than a prison sentence. It cost him his citizenship and deportation after prison," the attorney said.
At the sentencing hearing, Judge Steve C. Jones ordered that Khan's status as a naturalised US citizen be revoked and his certificate of naturalisation was declared void.
He also ordered that Khan be immediately deported to India once he completes his prison term. At that time, supervised release will not be enforced.
Khan filled out an application in 2013 to become a naturalized US citizen while the drug conspiracy was going on. He became a naturalized US citizen in March 2014.

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common injuries among runners. It involves the inflammation of a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of your foot and connects your heel bone to your toes (plantar fascia). When dealing with plantar fasciitis, most will feel a stabbing pain that usually occurs with your first steps out of bed each morning. As you get up and move around, the pain normally decreases, but it might return after running, walking long distance, or standing for long periods of time.
As always, you can certainly read through the information and tips outlined in this article. However, if you are suffering from Plantar Fasciitis, it is recommended that you seek the help of a licensed practitioner.
Definitions of Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Spur Injuries:
- An inflammation of the connective tissue of the bottom of the foot.
- Plantar = bottom of the foot, Fascia = dense fibrous connective tissue, Itis = inflammation.
- The plantar fascia attaches to the bottom of the heel bone and fans out to the toes.
- The plantar fascia is designed to support the foot and form the arch. It has very little elasticity and is very thick.
- A heel spur is an abnormal growth of bone on the heel due to excessive stress or pulling where the plantar fascia attaches to the heel.
- The excessive tugging of the plantar fascia on the heel bone causes this excess of bone (bone spur) to grow in a pointed fashion toward the toes.
Where it Hurts and How it Feels:
- Plantar fasciitis typically causes a stabbing pain in the bottom of your foot near the heel.
- Heel spurs are often painless, but can be associated with heel pain and connected to feelings in plantar fasciitis.
- Pronation is a normal movement of the foot, that allows the arch to flatten to a degree, which helps the body to absorb shock and adapt to different ground surfaces.
- In analyzing ones gait, first contact is on the heel and outside of the foot; followed by a shift of body weight continuing forward toward the arch and toes.
- If the foot is weak or tired and/or the footwear is not supportive, then the arch can flatten more than normal, which is excessive pronation.
- Flattening of the arch (excessive pronation) places pressure on the arch and stretches the plantar fascia(which supports the arch) and can create inflammation at the attachment on the heel.
- This repetitive, excessive pronation, is the main contributor to many lower extremity, overuse injuries, of which plantar fasciitis and heel spurs are the most common in the foot.
Contributing Factors:
- Age-With increasing age, often there is decreasing flexibility.
- Any sudden change in activity, specifically activities that increase weight bearing or pressure on the foot.
- Changes in training-Increased toe running, speed of running or hill running can add stress to the feet.
- Flat feet are most susceptible because of the lack of support. Rigid, high arched feet can be susceptible due to lack of flexibility.
- Sudden increase in body weight (overweight or pregnancy) may also add strain.
- Poor support in the shoes being worn and/or the poor support inside the shoes can add to the stress on the foot.
- Biomechanical changes in the foot can cause increases in pronation (see Primary Causes).
Treatment and Prevention:
- The 3S's – Stretching, Strengthening, Supporting, along with ICE and REST, have been found to be the simplest and most effective treatments for these injuries.
- Stretching of the calf, Achilles tendon and foot can help or eliminate the majority of plantar fasciitis.
- Strengthening the muscles of the foot and ankle can assist in eliminating and avoiding these problems.
- Supporting the foot with proper shoes and insoles, can prevent or eliminate the vast majority of foot related problems. This may be a Birkenstock sandal, with a broad base and contoured footbed, that is low to the ground and conforms to the foot. It may also be a shoe with an upper that wraps the foot and supports the arch and heel, thus limiting excessive pronation. The vast majority of footwear have more than enough cushion but very little support for the arch and heel. One of the easiest and most effective solutions is to add a simple over the counter insole that provides a forgiving support for both the arch and heel.
- If you refer to HeelSpurs.com, you can see the results of 1300 respondents. Arch supports are recognized as the most successful remedy with stretching a close second
The following are a few helpful exercises. Check with your doctor for specifics on your condition and what you should or should not do for your problem.

The Comox Valley Record is changing publication days, switching from Wednesdays and Fridays to Tuesdays and Thursdays, beginning March 19.
"The change to Tuesday/Thursday afternoon distribution of the Record has been under consideration for some time now," says publisher Joanna Ross.
"This change will allow our readers a more timely delivery of local news; in addition, our readers and advertisers will both benefit from having advertisements and flyers delivered one day earlier."
Last month, the Record was nominated as one of three general excellence finalists (within a pre-determined circulation category) for this year's Ma Murray B.C. community newspaper awards.
The paper finished first in general excellence at the 2010 Ma Murray award presentations and fourth last year, when we finished second in two ad design categories.
The Record also placed first last year in the Canadian Community Newspapers Association's Great Ideas Awards.
The very first issue of the then-titled Courtenay Comox Valley Record hit newsstands March 26, 1986.
The Record celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2011 and is owned by David Black's Black Press, the largest independently owned newspaper company in Canada, with more than 150 titles in print and online. Victoria-based Black Press has operations in B.C., Alberta, Washington, Hawaii, California and Ohio.

Cupcake, a Shih Tzu, is Instagram-famous with 879,000 followers. Would you believe that this popular creature was once a malnourished pup who was supposed to be euthanized at an animal shelter?
A day before she was scheduled for euthanasia, a kind-hearted human decided to adopt her as a pet. Now, Cupcake lives in San Diego, California with her human.
Her posts are full of colors, and it's no surprise why her followers are called "Sprinkles." Once you visit her Instagram page, you will understand why.
Cupcake wants to inspire people to see colors in everyone's lives. Who won't be inspired seeing this adorable pup riding a hot pink, Mercedes-encrusted Swarovski? Her ride is named Frosting. How cute is that?
This cute pup weighed 6 lbs. when she was rescued. Her hair was all matted too, so her new family had to cut everything off. Now, she's living a normal, happy and colorful life. So, colorful that in fact, she has a tail with lovely colors: pink, blue, red, green, orange and purple. Cool right?
Sprinkles get inspired with all the colors (and unicorns) on Cupcake's Instagram posts. They also feel touched with her thoughts of the day which include things like: "Life is Precious," "The world can be cruel, but you can always be happy and thankful with your life."
Here are some of her fabulous posts:
Cupcake wants to spread love and "sprinkles", especially to her followers. She wants everyone to keep a smile on their faces. She also wishes to see more people who can show kindness and compassion to help and save those who are in need.
Hopefully, more people will get inspired about Cupcake's story. According to Cupcake's Chronicle's creator, Suzanne Felando Mattson, they will soon release an animation series with the help of Quinces Entertainment. The animation entitled "The Tails of Cupcake's Chronicles" will be overloaded with cuteness so watch out for it.
Credits to Cupcake's Chronicles for these lovely photos.

One of the best pieces of television analysis surrounding Brexit has not come from the BBC, ITV or Channel 4. It was not even produced for British television. It instead originally aired in America.
As things get glummer it's hard to know whether to laugh or cry
The Corporation is facing one of the most severe tests in its history, says John Kampfner. And in vital areas it is failing it is not meeting the challenge.
Theresa May is secretly taking advice from the former prime minister David Cameron on how to resolve the current Brexit crisis.
Brexiteers who have spent two years crying "you lost, get over it!" at Remainers have ignored their own mantra and called for Theresa May to go - despite them losing the vote of no confidence they called.
Nigel Farage and his fellow Leave campaigners were ridiculed during an interview with television host Susanna Reid.
Channel 4 is set to air a proper Brexit debate featuring "four high-profile politicians reflecting the main divisions in the House of Commons."
PM flies out of Heathrow rather than Brize Norton to buy extra time to sell her deal, Liam Fox afraid to talk to Channel 4 News and Mandrake's part in Sam Gymiah's resignation.
Labour has issued an ultimatum to the BBC and Downing Street by urging them to adapt the format of the televised Brexit to make it a "head to head".
Theresa May said she is "keen" for the televised Brexit debate to take place, but won't appear on ITV because she would miss Strictly Come Dancing.
Former prime minister Tony Blair has said a second Brexit referendum should be a choice between remain and a hard Brexit.
Channel 4 News anchor Krishnan Guru-Murthy has promised to offer a "real debate" on Brexit, as the BBC and ITV battle it out to win over the Labour and Tory leaders.

Journalist Robert Peston thinks for the first time since the Brexit vote there is a feeling that we may end up staying in the EU.
With the TV news seemingly having voxpopped nearly every person on the street in Britain, ITV have found a voice that hadn't yet been asked about Brexit.

Arsenal, Man Utd & Liverpool Chase Young Midfielder
Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal are all keen to enquire the availability of promising youngster Yann M'Vila.
The 20-year old battling midfielder has been excellent this season, helping the club to a current position of 5th but the French club will face a battle to hold onto the youngster who has a contract that runs to 2014.
TalkSport reports that the Premiership trio are just a selection of clubs interested in the midfielder, as clubs across Europe are set to make a move in the summer.

plz can wenger make arrangment to buy exprienced players en especially selfish strikers who can score from far when he has the chance…otherwise kreonke must put some pressure to wenger to buy good players
My dear, don't be carried away by the reactions of your fans & go out of your tradition of grooming young & talented players. My advice to you is that any player who intends to leave should be allowed to go if he feels out there is better than here.
Wenger, please wake up and buy competent and classic players who will put us on top. Arsenal is so entertaining when in the field playing but its frustrating when you loose a would have been a win match!!! We need the cups too. We love you and don't invite hatred to take over.

I built a new box joint jig and this was my first project using that jig. The box is solid Cherry except for the 1/4" MDF bottom that is in a rabbeted groove. It is finished using General Finishes Cinnamon dye then sealed with a 2lb cut of shellac. After a light sanding, I applied several coats of paste wax and buffed with a soft cotton cloth. The inside is lined with a Navy blue flocking. The lid is hinged using a couple 5mm pin type of hinges available from Woodcraft or online.
I am not known for building small projects but I think everyone should do it from time to time as it teaches you to be more precise with your layout and cuts while practicing your skills of being patient!

< La Chartreuse
What makes la Chartreuse a great holiday rental
After a break of a few years we are delighted to announce the return of one of our favourites, La Chartreuse...
A thoroughly charming French country house - just what you'd imagine a maison de maitre to be, with flagstone floors, panelled doors, parquet in the formal rooms, spiral staircase, original features such as the salon fireplace, thick stone walls and pale blue shutters - this is a classic French countryside summer holiday retreat.
Situated on the edge of a quiet village, it's only a short drive to the coastal resorts of Hossegor and Biarritz for surfing, golf, beach-life and shops.
Guest reviews:
Highly recommend and will undoubtedly use again. (2019 client)
We loved La Chartreuse. A great comfortable but robust house which coped well with our large group. Lots of extras including home grown vegetables and herbs along with a superbly equipped kitchen. The bedrooms are large and comfortable and the attic space is ideal for children. The owners couldn't be more helpful. We would certainly revisit. (2019 client)
We spent a wonderful two weeks with two other families at La Chartreuse. The house is close enough to the beaches but also away from the hustle and bustle. Mornings were spent surfing and afternoons laying around the fabulous pool with each family taking it in turns to cook in the evenings. There is a very well stocked mini market a walk away selling fresh croissants and cooked whole chickens at lunch time. A jumbo market can be found a short drive away. The rooms are all large and spacious with an open plan attic for the children to escape to that has a tv and table football. Nearby there are canoes to hire, horse riding as well as trips to San Sebastián, Biarritz and Hossegor. My teenage children especially enjoy the market twice a week in Hossegor as well as Soorts Hossegor that has warehouses full of last season surf boards and clothing along with some great bohemian restaurants. The lake in Hossegor is perfect for paddle boarding with some great oysters bars on the north side. Other activities include cycling and golf. I can't recommend this house and location enough! (2018 client)
Best for:
Great for larger groups and teenagers - spacious accommodation & gardens, and games room too. Ample space for two families sharing. The house has also been selected by groups of friends or family for anniversary and birthday celebrations.
A private holiday chef is available to make your stay as memorable as possible be it full/part catered or for a special event such as birthday or anniversary, please enquire.
Pets allowed, subject to owner acceptance.
Christmas and winter lets can be arranged, either with or without catering.
Short golf breaks can be arranged with the owner (minimum 3 night bookings, not available in the high season).
Suitability for:
Anything to watch out for?
There are two outbuildings in the grounds both of which are out of bounds to guests. And watch out for the low beams in the games room!
Why this area?
The villas enjoys a peaceful and private countryside setting just a short drive to the bustling coastline and its famous resorts such as Hossegor and Biarritz. As well as beach and surf days, there's cycling and golf to enjoy at the coast, stunning walks in the Pyrenees and cultural days in Bayonne and San Sebastian. This is a truly distinctive corner of France between ocean & mountains, with an enviable lifestyle. Come and try it.
Classic Maison de Maitre with floodlit pool, games room, and less than 20kms to the ocean. Exuding French charm, la Chartreuse is a classic holiday rental.
Long flagstone entrance hall with a summer room and formal dining room leading off to one side and the kitchen and sitting room off to the other side.
The spiral wooden staircase is a feature in itself, with a small stone washbasin tucked away underneath the stairs.
The kitchen is large and well-equipped and there is a further large utility area opposite with extra fridge and freezer space, plus a washing machine and tumble dryer. Kitchen equipment includes kettle, toaster, coffee maker, Kitchen Aid blender for smoothies or making baby food. Plenty of crockery, ovenware, cooking utensils & glasses, and thoughtful touches such as plastic cups for children and for using by the pool.
The ground floor has a handy WC too.
First Floor:
On the first floor there are five bedrooms all spacious and featuring wooden floorboards, garden views and character features such as shuttered windows and high ceilings.
All of the bedrooms on this floor have Hypnos mattresses;
There are two separate bathrooms on the first floor too:
Second (Attic) Floor:
The second floor is a huge draw for all ages. This TV-come-games-room comprises wifi, satellite TV, Netflix DVD player and DVD library, PS4/Xbox, table football and comfy sofas.
There are two bedrooms on this floor:
The bedrooms share a bathroom which has a bath but no WC. The bathroom is separated from the two attic bedrooms by a curtain either side.
Mind your head on the low beams (see photo)!
The garden is private and large with a natural boundary formed by hedgerow.
The swimming pool is 12x5m and is protected by alarm. It can be used on warm evenings too as there are floodlights.
Off the summer room there is a lovely patio terrace complete with teak outdoor dining furniture and sunloungers. There are outdoor games to enjoy - boules and table tennis. If you enjoy al fresco cooking there is a built-in BBQ and Big Green Egg for outdoor meals by the poolside.
5 x doubles1 x twin and 1 x quadruple (double and two singles)
2x en-suites and 2x shared bathrooms on the first floor. 1x shared bathroom on the second floor. 3x WCs in total including one on ground floor
Unheated 12x5m and floodlit. Roman steps into shallow end. Deep end is approx 5ft deep. Protected by pool alarm
Equipment at the villa includes: PS4/Xbox; table football; board games
Pets considered but no smoking please. NB The two outbuildings are out-of-bounds
La Chartreuse enjoys a peaceful countryside location, situated in a quiet hamlet of a dozen or so dwellings, close to the village of St Jean de Marsacq.
