We must follow these five rules to avert an antimicrobial resistance crisis
Simply reducing the use of antibiotics, while discovering new ones, is not enough to keep resistance at bay — healthcare professionals need to understand bacteria's evolutionary biology if they are to subvert it.

There is no doubt that antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a problem, but there is concern over what policy makers and clinicians are doing about it. Governments and pharmaceutical companies could spend more public and private funds searching for new medicines, but history says that simply releasing new products will not be enough to tackle this problem — AMR develops too quickly. The time between first prescription of a medicine and first observation of resistance can be just a few years[1],[2]. For some infections, such as gonorrhoea, drug after drug has been rolled out until untreatable disease has emerged[3].
Instead, efforts to tackle AMR would have more of an impact if closer attention was paid to the evolutionary biology that governs the emergence of resistance in bacteria. Here are five rules to guide future AMR strategies and help pharmacists to think about safe ways of diversifying antibiotic use[4].
Rule 1: prevention is better than a cure
If researchers were trying to start a resistance catastrophe, they would deploy a single antibiotic at a lethal dose to as many microbes as possible in the global population. In this situation, bacteria with genes that confer antibiotic resistance would thrive and rapidly dominate the population. This is the worst-case scenario, in which many microbes are exposed to high doses of the medicine, selection pressure is very high and —because all the microbes are exposed to a single drug class — the selection pressure is homogenous.
The most obvious improvement on this scenario is to reduce selection pressure by exposing as few microbes to the antibiotic as possible.
High levels of resistance are synonymous with multidrug resistance and can undermine mixing strategies
This becomes more complicated when there are multiple possible antibiotics that could be used to treat a given infection. One possible solution is using a single antibiotic at any given time and replacing it as soon as resistance renders it ineffective. Alternatively, for some infections, combinations of antibiotics could be used to reduce the probability of resistance evolving. Another approach is to increase the heterogeneity (diversity) of selection by prescribing different antibiotics to different parts of the population (known as 'mixing'), or by using preferred antibiotics for short periods of time (known as 'cycling').
However, all three strategies are most beneficial when there are low frequencies of resistance[5]. High levels of resistance are synonymous with multidrug resistance and can undermine mixing strategies. The heterogeneous patterns of antibiotic prescribing in mixing limit the transmission of resistant bacteria, but a person surrounded by others with a high resistance burden may readily acquire microbes that are resistant to many drugs.Fachi
Driving up resistance while using monotherapies before trying combinations is also a known risk factor for the emergence of multi-drug resistant infections, such as tuberculosis[6]. In order to preserve the efficacy of new antibiotics, it is far better to act early than waiting for resistance to become a problem.
Rule 2: do not rely on a 'fitness cost'
Microbes that have acquired resistance to antibiotics may have effectively paid a physiological price to do so. This trade-off is known as the 'fitness cost' — the 'Achilles' heel' of bacteria.
Where antibiotics are not used, resistant bacteria can be outcompeted by bacteria that would be susceptible to the antibiotic, so fitness costs can be important for cycling strategies. But deploying strategies that depend purely on fitness costs can be unreliable. For example, fitness costs can be low, especially for bacteria with resistance genes on plasmids (small strands of DNA that replicate independently of chromosomes and can be transferred to other microbes)[7].
Long-term selection (over weeks or months, rather than years) can further reduce these costs, which gives another reason to act early. While the correlation between antibiotic use and prevalence of resistance is strong, withdrawing antibiotics does not always lead to falling resistance levels — potentially because many microbes are resistant to multiple drugs[8],[9].
Rule 3: control mutation supply
The development of resistance depends on a supply of genetic novelty. This can partly be controlled by people, for example, acting to limit the supply of mutations from agriculture.
Although the effects of antibiotic use in agriculture on resistance in humans are debated. A recent study of Escherichia coli in the UK argues that the resistance genes and bacterial genotypes in agriculture are distinct from those in human populations, and concludes that antibiotic use in agriculture is unimportant for antimicrobial stewardship[10]. However, it is important to remember that agricultural use of the antibiotic colistin was a major factor in the transfer of resistance to humans[11],[12].
For many Gram-negative microbes, genetic novelty arrives neatly packaged on bacterial plasmids, and initial acquisition of new resistance genes in human-associated microbes is a very different process from their subsequent selection and increase in frequency.
The acquisition of new genes is dependent on the prevalence of resistance plasmids (or other mobile DNA) in the environment, in which agriculture plays a major role. Once these genes arrive in human-associated microbes, prescribing practice drives selection. Nevertheless, agricultural use can accelerate the initial appearance of resistance, and the example of colistin shows that it is unwise to indulge in large-scale use of novel drugs outside of human populations[12].
Rule 4: prescribe short courses
An antibiotic creates a selection pressure by killing non-resistant bacteria; this provides an opportunity for bacteria that are resistant to the antibiotic to thrive. This selection pressure can be reduced by not only reducing the number of prescriptions, but also by lowering the dose of antibiotics and/or reducing the duration of treatment.
The balance of evidence favours shorter courses rather than lower doses[4],[13],[14]. Low doses can accelerate the appearance of resistance because there are simply many more mutations that can confer resistance to low doses. Low doses can also select for plasmid-borne resistance and fail to cope with pharmacogenetic variation[4],[15].
Rule 5: monitor local resistance levels
The worst-case scenario outlined above illustrates how homogeneity of prescribing practice is a bad idea. The situation is sometimes exacerbated by strong top-down guidelines on preferred treatments, but there are currently too few trials to help shape mixing or cycling strategies to increase heterogeneity. The latest theory suggests the best approaches are responsive, so information is vital in this effort; local levels of resistance should shape future drug preference[16].
Too many trials of resistance management interventions have paid little attention to fundamental principles
Too many trials of resistance management interventions have paid little attention to fundamental principles[4]. For example, mixing and cycling should rotate structurally distinct drugs that can be overcome only by distinct resistance mechanisms[17]. Cycling different beta-lactams that can all be overcome by AmpC beta-lactamases, for example, is unlikely to provide effective antimicrobial stewardship[4]. While it may not be possible to predict whether cycling strategies will work in advance, it is a relatively low-risk intervention and a good monitoring strategy will soon provide data on whether this approach has been effective[16].
What clinicians and pharmacists can do
An important challenge for pharmacists is to think about safe ways of diversifying drug use. Heterogeneous prescribing can help to moderate selection for resistant bacteria, but practice must also respect the principles summarised above.
Recent research commissioned by Public Health England suggests many antibiotic courses are too long[13]. The data justifying the length of antibiotic courses require careful examination[14].
Healthcare professionals also need to think beyond the hospital and life-threatening infections to the use of antibiotics in the community — which makes up 70% of all prescribed antibiotics — and pay close attention to the large number of self-limiting infections for which most patients do not require antibiotics[18].
Solutions to AMR must consider a broad range of interventions that focus efforts around problematic groups, in detailed management plans — i.e. they must be broad in approach but narrow in focus. This has proved effective in insecticide resistance management and in reducing the incidence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)[13]. Currently, the biggest challenge is presented by enteric Gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae, and this will require bold action.

Amazon is one of the biggest internet retailers. It has presented an excellent opportunity for third party sellers to make a living. However, competition can be fierce if you don't put emphasis on marketing. Surprisingly, the popularity continues to rise with increase in sellers. If you want your products to thrive, you should put emphasis on visual images using pinterest. For starters, the power of this social platform becomes unleashed once you understand how it operates. So, how can pinterest help Amazon sellers boost sales? In this article, we have summarized for you why selecting the most suitable pinterest package can boost your business.
Buying pinterest likes promotes your products
As the world's third largest social media platform, pinterest holds definite potential to boost your Amazon sales. To get started, you need to convert your personal profile to a business account. Make sure you do a careful thought of your profile name for SEO purposes. Once you're done, you should buy Pinterest likes to attract more traffic on your site. The secret is to buy a pinterest package that will get you genuine likes and followers. This will ensure your brand becomes popular. Packages range from 200,500, 1000 and 2000 likes depending on the nature of your Amazon products. Essentially, promoted pins work like regular pins.
Use of keywords instead of hashtags
Pinterest is more of a search engine than a social media platform. The keywords help the users in searching for what they are looking for. This makes it easy for visitors to explore your site and find the products. On the other hand, the keywords will direct users to your pins. For example, if you're selling women accessories on Amazon, you need to include some relevant keywords like `women's dresses'. Other eye-catching keywords include` latest jewelry accessories', `stylish women's hats' to mention just a few. To optimize your keywords on pinterest, you need to add descriptive keywords to your pin descriptions. Secondly, select rich board names that can appear on google search results. This can only be achieved once you select the right pinterest package.
Attract and engage your followers using rich pins
Pins that include a price tag, attracts 50% more likes on pinterest. When you choose the right package, you'll automatically pick the stock details of your product. Consequently, you can display the price of your product with your pinterest posts. On the other hand, you can keep your followers engaged. As an Amazon seller, it's important that you proactively engage your followers by responding to their questions and comments. Remember, every time someone likes or re-pins your images, you can send them a message of appreciation. Rich pins allow you to include more details about your pins. Similarly, any other information is automatically updated. The pins feature product variants, pricing, and a buy button. As an aggressive seller, you should include `Pin it for later' short links on your users facebook posts. At the same time, they can pin the post to one of your customer's boards.
Optimize product descriptions, titles and images details
Are you still wondering; how can pinterest help Amazon sellers boost sales? First, your Amazon customers need to appreciate the visuals of your products. It's estimated that pinterest receives more than 130 million visual searches every month. In order to leverage pinterest to its maximum capabilities, you should post good photos that display what you're selling. This does not necessarily mean you have to spend on professional photos. Just ensure the photos of the item you intend to sell are captured well in all angles. The image must be appealing enough to entice other users click on it. It's also advisable that you create a separate board for sold items. This will avoid confusion among potential customers. It's beyond any reasonable doubt that pinterest is a snapshot of personality.
When choosing photos for your product pages, ensure they are highly repinnable. Let's look at what makes pinterest worthy.
· Take advantage of the image size
Your product images should have an optimal pin width of 736 pixels. This is usually the maximum display size.
· Timing
It's recommended that you pin and engage your customers during the official business hours. However, this will depend on where your customers are. Take note that certain products perform better on specific days of the week.
· You can choose different colors
Statistics show that pins with multiple colors are pinned more than those with a single color. The red color performs better than blue.
Connect with your other social media platforms
Using your pinterest business account, it's quite easy to connect your twitter or facebook accounts. This is because pinterest is founded on the basis of social media interaction. In fact, you don't have to start over with followers. Just tap on those that already exist on your other social platforms. If you maintain a web presence that links to your Amazon products, it becomes easy for people to pin links that lead to your listings. Pinterest is one of the best tools ever invented to increase sales for your business.
Take advantage of pinterest analytics
The biggest question is; how can pinterest help Amazon sellers boost sales through analytics? Well, if you have your own website outside amazon, analytics play a big role. The seller can see the images and motifs that are driving the customers' interest. Most importantly, you can see what other sellers are pinning and what the buyers are getting excited about.
Make use of promoted pins
As an amazon seller, you may consider running some promoted pins to increase your brand's exposure. Promoted pins work just like the other regular pins. However, you must pay for them to be used by other people. This is a good way of directing potential customers to your brand. Best of all, your ads will circulate for a long time compared to other social platforms.
From the above information, I'm sure we have answered your question; how can pinterest help Amazon sellers boost sales? Pinterest allows amazon sellers to increase their brand awareness and attract new customers. This can be achieved by ensuring your pins contain helpful information. When you buy the right pinterest package, you're more likely to achieve genuine social marketing in your products.

Now, as I said, I've been learning the game. Poker is poker, and reads still are reads. Since I've been playing live, I've improved my reads a TON. Since there is no HUD for PLO on Seals With Clubs, I've focused on discerning hand ranges and player types.
The following are the upsides to last night, as I went on a mini heater after all the bad stuff. A little background is that DONKEY doubled me up in the next 2 or 3 hands or so (with my bottom 2 pair vs. his TPTK AK), so I'm sitting on 200 or so chips when we get into another hand:
I have A K J 9 double suited and I raised pre. He opts to 3bet to 12 and I think we're heads up and the flop is:
K Q 9 two spades
He leads pot ~26.
I think for a little and call; J T is a possibility, but even though he raises 50% of his hands, he 3bets rarely; like this is his second time - and AA is squarely in his range.
Turn is the 8s - bummer shitty.
To my chagrin, he pots again; 78. If I call, I'll have 84 behind and a huge pot in the middle. It's shove or fold time for me. I just don't believe he has the spades, and I'm trying to collect my thoughts with regards to his ranges. He can 3bet AA and KK holdings. I have a K in my hand, so it's less likely for him to hold 2 K's. He has a habit of mashing pot when he believe he has value. He has no consideration for his opponent's hands; he's a level 1 player. His value hands that beat me are AA K Q, AA JT, AA XX with 2 spades. Any other AA xx hands are beat. I opt to shove and he does not snap it off; I breath a sigh of relief - no JT, no spades. He calls with AA xx and I double through again - 400 to finish the hand.
Then, I get into a hand where I hold AA double suited against a standard-ish player. I raise pre and he calls; we're heads up and he has ~200 to start the hand:
7 in the pot and the flop is K J 3, rainbow.
He checks, I lead pot and he calls.
21 in the pot and the turn is a 3.
He checks and I lead pot again. He calls
63 in the pot and the river is a J.
This time, he leads pot. I snap it off; he can have random jacks, but I think 2 pair are going to check raise at some point in the hand - mostly the flop. This bet does not make any sense, hence the snap call.
K J 3 3 J board and am shown A K Q T.
I'm learning.

I am certainly no Omaha expert, but: 1) It is a game of draws; 2) Straights and flushes win much more often than at Hold Em. Two pair is a weak hand in Omaha; 3) Any good hand can get counterfeited at any time when the board gets paired of someone hits the more frequent sets in Omaha; 4) Omaha variance sucks worse than almost anything in poker.ReplyDelete
It's fun, though. I enjoy playing it. Tonight I was two-tabling; I stunk up the joint, but it's a far cry from NLHE. Way more action, way more thought.ReplyDelete
yay ! someone who actually acknowledges the fact that you need to think whilst playing Omaha :)ReplyDelete
well it is the most variance ridden form ....
no, wait, 6-max is the most variance ridden ....
no, wait, 6-max zoom is the most variance ridden form of poker :)Replies
I figured that SWC is a fairly easy way to get introduced to PLO. I've been doing a bit of reading about it as well - Tri Nguyen's book as well as Jeff Hwang's book.Delete
Any other recommended readings?
Ahhh...PLO the game of kings! This is my wheelhouseReplyDelete
Hand 1...lead this 4 ways on the flop every time. Free cards no good in PLO...may not have mattered obv
Hand 2...hand is meh but we have suited A in a line up of fish so w/e. Bet closer to pot in a 5 way pot...bet bigger on turn against stationey opponent. c/c, c/c, bomb river line is either Q8xx or QQ unfortunately...like always...against a thinking opponent this is mostly a fold. Against a fish...close your eyes and click the call BTN with 2nd nuts
The AA hand is an absolute check back on flop or c/f...a good player should be c/r you there and you can't call. He is way ahead on that flop with his actual holding. Turn is good one for you obv.
Just read Hwang. Maybe some of the low stakes PLO forum on 2p2...then jump in the 5/5/10 PLO game with us at Perryville ;)
I'm playing PLO all summer at WSOP so follow on TwitterReplies
I was waiting for your comments. I'm going to try to put more PLO hands up now that I'm 2 tabling min stakes PLO. It's a fun game, and a great change. Dover offers a 1/2/ 5 bring PLO game which I sat in on and got crushed.Delete
Have you read The Pot-Limit Omaha Book by Tri (slowhabit) Nguyen? I think that book was like $300 when it came out.

Nandi Hills Trekking Trip
It was another lazy weekend. I had planned to sleep thru most of it as there was nothing planned nor anything worth watching in the theaters (Jab Harry met Sejal, really? why did she even meet harry?) when all of a sudden my better half said (rather announced): "Lets go trekking to Nandi Hills"!
I have been in bangalore for over a decade and have visited nandi hills just once and that too in the evening time in my car and had no idea about the trekking option in Nandi Hills.
Couple of years back we both had been to a trip to Valley of Flowers in Uttarakhand and had bought trekking shoe and other gear from decathlon which had remained unused. So decided that its a good chance not just to use the stuff but also enjoy some hiking and breath in some fresh air plus enjoy the beautiful views from the hill.
Did a quick search online and found few websites with the details of the hiking path. so we decided to go ahead with the hike on saturday. The route from home to starting point of the trek was a good 62 Km.
Started from home around 7.30AM in our punto and took the route via minerva circle, corporation, mysore bank circle, hi grounds, mekhri circle, hebbal to touch the bellary road. Being saturday the roads had very little traffic and we were taking left towards nandi hills in no time.
After taking left from bellary road, we went all the way till we touch the nelamangala - chikkaballapura road. At the junction we took road going towards Nandi Village on the right side. The weekend crowd on bikes/cars/SUV take left at this junction so the road towards Nandi village was almost empty and it had freshly laid surface so driving was smooth.
At nandi village you take left and continue towards the sultanpet village. Once in the village, immediately after the masjid, we took a small road on the left which takes towards the starting point on the hiking route. There is a sign post clearly indicating road to Nandi Hills.
After traveling on this broken road for around 150 mtrs you will see a huge bungalow on your right. you can park you vehicle in front of this bungalow compound or can drive few more meters ahead where you will find open space to you right to park you vehicles. We saw couple of SUV's parked here.
Google maps doesn't show the hiking path. it will show a path which is 8 KM via the nelamangala - chikaballapura road. If you change the view to satellite mode on google maps you will see there is indeed a path shown which starts at Silver oak farms and goes all the way up to Nandi hills steps.
We parked our punto in front of the compound and started our hike. The entire path has stone steps all the way to Tippu guest house. This hiking route is around 1.5KM and its moderate intensity trek with some steep steps for few meters on the way. But a good path for beginners.
Even though i walk almost 5 KM every morning on a path which has good inclines, flat road its still a little tiring climbing steps continuously. We took several brief breaks to catch our breath and also to enjoy the views and yes also to click some pictures. ("Ek minute ruck ke mera photo lo na, kitna acha view hai" )
While hiking you can rest besides the steps or there are several stone rest stops on the way where you can take a breather. Mind you there are no shops on this trail selling refreshments so carry your own bottle of water and may be a snack if desire to have one on the way.
We also saw some beautiful flowers on the way.
While we were slowly making progress we saw several folks already coming down from their hike. Since the weather was cloudy and we were in no hurry we took it easy. we crossed the tippu guest house and emerged just after the Nandi hills entrance arch from where all the 4 wheeler's go towards the parking spot.
The entire nandi hills was covered in the blanket of clouds when we reached the top around 10.30AM
There is a huge well known as Amrutha Sarovara on top
Tried to take in the views from several view points but the place was too crowded being a weekend. We decided to grab a quick bite and saw the hotel Mayura had best view as it was almost at the edge of the hill top. Ordered some hot dosa and enjoyed the view sitting inside.
The clouds kept playing hide and seek with the hills in the mean time.
While we were finishing our breakfast, it started to drizzle. All the crowd started to take shelter where ever covered space was available. We decided to wait for few minutes at the Amul stall enjoying a kulfi in the awesome weather.
But the rain pickup in intensity and we decided that there is no point in waiting as we any way have to take the hiking path down to our car. out came our ponchos which we had bough during our goa trip last month and started our journey back the same route.
Folks taking shelter from rain at tippu guest house were surprised to see us just walking down in the rain. Our joy of walking in the rain was short lived as the poncho i was wearing had ripped off at couple of places while was trying to wear it. Due to this i started to get wet.
The bigger problem were the stone steps! Since it was raining all the way, at several places our shoe started to slip even though they were supposed to be water proof and also have grip in wet conditions as well. Thankfully neither of us fell down when we slipped but we had to be extra cautious while climbing down. on top of it my socks started to hold water and the shoe became heavy! had to stop couple of times to squeeze the water out before continuing our trek downhill.
We realized the importance of walking stick especially while coming down from hill as it would have taken some body weight and reduced the stress on the knee. As we neared our car the rain reduced and then finally stopped.
So out came the phone and a departing photo had to be clicked
By the time we reached down it was 12:45 we were soaking wet, took few minutes to rest our knee and also to rinse out the water from our shoe.
Thus ended our a small little hiking trip to Nandi hills.
PS: Saturday went off ok, but some Sunday came with a new Realization: that we do have calf muscles!
walking and climbing/getting down steps became such a challenge i realized that in-spite of my morning walks i am still not physically fit . Even today my calf is reminding and has inspired me to write this travelogue!
Hope you enjoyed it. Cheers

Re: Nandi Hills Trekking Trip
I felt pretty stupid for not knowing about this trek during all these years of living here! Thankfully it showed up on my radar somehow on this Sunday. Better late than never. Made plans for a Monday evening trek to avoid the weekend crowd. Had the entire trail for myself I started the trek at around ~4pm, reached the top by ~5pm and started the descent at ~6pm. The descent was lovely - it started with a sunset view, grew darker and the moon was shining bright by the time I reached the base. I believe there are more such trails, need to find out more. This particular trail is just steps without any flat trail - so can get tiring and boring. It's usually more enjoyable to do trails that have a mix of climbs and flat segments.

Re: Nandi Hills Trekking Trip
Is the trek allowed nowadays? I want my children to be introduced to hiking and wanted to take them during these summer holidays.

Trains between Norwich and Diss affected by high winds
PUBLISHED: 18:01 23 February 2017 | UPDATED: 18:56 23 February 2017
Trains between Norwich and Diss were severly affected by Storm Doris as high winds swept across the region.
Many services between Norwich and Diss were delayed or cancelled due to the loss of overhead power lines.
Fallen trees repeatedly affected trains running in both directions, blocking trains between Norwich and Diss and Stowmarket and Diss.
Passengers were left waiting on platforms and in waiting rooms as information boards offered very few clues as to when services would arrive.
Although diesel trains replaced electric services, they were forced to travel at reduced speeds due to debris on the tracks.
Major disruptions are expected to last until the end of the day.

Mini Cakes Wedding Cake
I made this mini cakes wedding cake last weekend in the middle of winter for a sea-side wedding. The weather turned out to be perfect! The mini cakes was made from vanilla and chocolate cake and filled with caramel condensed milk, a favorite in South Africa. It was decorated with chocolate ganache, chocolate lace collars, blue-grey chocolate curls and mini macarons.
very nice
Oh wow, this must have taken you a long time!!
Amazing job, love the arrangement!! Xx
Thanks everyone! It took about 40 hours to make including baking the mini cakes, baking the macarons, filling and decoration the cakes and making chocolate curls:-).
Perfect display!
Thank you Dina!

She came....with the glory of ZALOP! And the aroma of distant oil paintings and masterpieces.
ZALOP! My postal gal didn't want to give me the mail...she asked to have the stamps! Not! Sorry, but the South African fishies are mine, all mine. Well, I opened the envelope and "allowed" her to see the contents:
It is a boekie, ok, it's a four-fold A4 masterpiece...unfold the first half, on the right:
...flip to the other side, to the left:
and then one opens the fold to reveal the full MONA LISA IN FLUX!
Here we are faced with a masterpiece, and the sweet aroma of linseed oil from the paint.
The question on the flip side: is it an original? Or is it "un ? original"
and Cheryl makes her statement:
State your view.
Is it an original...or...un original?
It is FAB! Thank you, Cheryl. xxx
And now to think about it ;-)
Views: 41
Mona moaners unite! We can do it...trashpo and all, DK!
Anyone receiving Mona in FLUX from Cheryl is welcome to post it here and then...
onward to making an / un original!
Yes, CP, I shall be sending one soon!
And late last night, I just had to watch my DVD: Mona Lisa Smile ;-)
I am completely stumped by this moaning piece. I keep looking at yours over and over. There is no way that I can see to fit Mona and Trash in the same sentence, much less paper:) Thanks Cheryl-you guys have really helped make this a special day
Oh, those are the first moaners that pop up on the blogs. I can't wait to get mine, they look great!
(I forgot to "state my view" in my envelope back, will do that at some point)
Hello - thank you for the great blog MomKat :-) - you'll send me a moaner back? She has to be the most tried, tested and altered image of all time - I don't think there are many artists who have not had a go at this in one or another form. Glad you got yours DK - last time, happy birthday - its LATE here :-) XX

The 2002 offers measurement technology which makes them attractive options to higher-priced, high-end digital multimeters. Other 8-digit DMMs may average multiple readings to extend their resolution. The resolution specifications of the 2002 is based on a 28-bit A/D converter that provides the resolution needed to discern smaller changes. The higher resolution provides greater dynamic range, enabling measurement from 1 μV to 20 V on a single range and avoiding range-shift errors and delays. It is an ideal instrument for production test applications that demand high precision.
The 202 has many built-in measurements that are normally unavailable in similar instruments, these include in-circuit current, temperature with thermocouples or RTDs and peak spikes. In addition, this instrument offers extended DCV and resistance measurement capabilities.
With the 202, there is no need for an oscilloscope to determine if the crest factor is acceptable, the digital multimeter measures it directly.
True 8 1/2 (2002) digit resolution
Measurement integrity with high speed
High-speed function and range changing
Broad range of built-in measurement functions includes in-circuit current, temperature with thermocouples or RDTs, peak spikes
Resistance measuring range 20 Ω → 1 GΩ
Frequency measuring range 1 Hz → 15 MHz
Multiple measurement display
GPIB interface
8K Memory
Faster Triggering
Single-phase method for 4-wire resistance eliminates errors due to changing lead resistances that can result from fast test handlers and makes the Model 2002 twice as fast for a given power line cycle rate
Built-in peak detector operates up to 1MHz for repetitive signals or down to 1μs for a single spike
More than 2000 readings/second at 4-digit resolution; at 7-digits it maintains full rated accuracy at up to 44 readings/second on DCV and ohms.
The 202 can measure DC voltage (normal and peak spikes), AC voltage (RMS, average, and peak), DC current (normal and in-circuit), AC current (RMS and average), two and four-wire resistance (normal and offset-compensated), frequency (voltage and current), and temperature (resistance temperature devices or thermocouples).
From the front panel, you can configure the instrument to sequentially measure and simultaneously display readings of multiple functions.
Readings and setup data can be stored and recalled from the front panel or over the IEEE-488 bus. For example, the buffer can be programmed to store up to 850 readings at 4.5 digits, or up to 250 time-stamped readings at 6.5 digits. The 2002 can be configured with memory options that extend the storage capacity up to 30,000 readings and ten setups.
The 2002 is capable of acquiring, for example, 2000 readings/second at 4.5 digits of resolution, and 215 readings/second at 6.5 digits.
From the front panel, you can set the instrument to send readings to an IEEE-488 printer or, with an optional adapter, to a Centronics printer.
This is a 10-channel scanner card, which includes eight channels of 2-pole relay switching and two channels of 2-pole solid-state switching. All channels can be configured for 4-pole operation.

OK, I think I'm done now.
Sorry if I spammed the thread.
This is my favourite of yours! hahahahaha!
I think you saved the threa instead of spamming it bro! Nice one!
dam straight..except mine has machine head on the back...
Probably because it's a Sherdog inside joke, unlike all the other normie memes.
Saving a @Buff thread is up there among my life's greatest achievements, thank you for the recognition, good sir.
A shoop thread is a shoop thread bro....They are all sacred, and blessed are their makers.
This is actually my first real shoop thread... Technically my second actually, but the last one I did get deleted within an hour, and I was given a final warning about certain things.
Still having problems with my app... Wanna get back on it, I have a long train ride ahead of me, and if I can't' shoop it will seem even longer.

A massive shipment of tablets - that could be used to make the drug ice - has been intercepted in Bali on its way to Australia.
Customs officers in Denpasar moved on what turned out to be 600,000 pseudoephedrine tablets after receiving information from the Australian Border Force.
The tablets were en route to Australia from South Korea.
"We support efforts to resolve legal processes by ABF and the Australian investigation team by providing access to information on the results of the examination so that the consignee can be secured," Bali director general of Customs and Excise Heru Pambudi said.
One person has been arrested in Australia following the seizure.
The customs officers allegedly found six boxes each containing 100 bottles labelled Codana, each containing 1000 tablets.
ABF Commander Chris Waters said it showed gangs were continuing to try to find ways to smuggle drugs into Australia.
"Working together with customs, it shows we are able to combat these different smuggling gangs," he said.

Recently, I found myself in a discussion with my fellow youth workers on a youth pastor site on facebook, and the discussion was about our wives, and how involved should they be in our ministry. Also, the question arose "if interviewing for a position, should the committee ask you about your wife and her thoughts about the ministry, and her role in the ministry?" This brought back a ton of feedback, and many church leaders were coming from different perspectives. I wanted to give you a few thoughts about how involved should your wife be in your ministry?
- God designed for her gifts to not be your gifts– Have you heard the cliche, "opposites attract?" This is true. My wife and I are different people with different abilities, strengths, weaknesses, and interest. This is such an important reason to make your ministry successful. There are things that come my way in our student ministry that my wife can implement her gifts in areas that I am a bit uncomfortable or not gifted in. She complements me, because her gifts are different from mine, and when both of us are using our gifts for the ministry, our ceiling and potential becomes higher.
- She can keep you accountable– We all see and hear about different scandals taking place involving student pastors and leaders with younger teenager girls. I feel that with my wife involved in my ministry, she can keep me accountable. We all need accountability! I do not care if you are a pastor or not, you need and should desire accountability. Your wife should be your number 1 accountability partner.
- Your wife can offer you a different perspective– I ask my wife about ministry, sermon series, games, etc. Her insight blows me away every time, because she brings about a different perspective on those things. She thinks and brings up questions that I would never ever think of, because we are made differently. Also, she understands where teenager girls are coming from. This is impossible for me to understand at all, and she gets it, and helps me as I address things to them.
- Your wife can address certain issues and counseling sessions that are difficult for you– This goes along with the accountability issue. If I need to counsel a girl, I always have my wife or another girl youth leader. Your wife is always best though to eliminate any accusations, etc. Sometimes, my wife can pull girls aside and discuss personal matters that I could not address by myself. Some things teenage girls do not want to tell me, but feel comfortable telling my wife or a girl youth leader.
- Your wife is your best friend– Ministry is a very lonely and difficult place to be sometimes. My wife has helped me so much in this area. When she is involved, she understands where I am at and who I am dealing with. She then can help console and listen to the problems that ministry brings.
- It brings an example for your students– You should be putting your wife on a pedestal. You should never demean her in front of your students. You should constantly be building her up and lifting her up. Students in our youth groups are coming from broken homes and families, and they are craving a Godly and Biblical example of what a right relationship should be according to the Bible.
- Never place your wife in a position where she is uncomfortable. If your wife does not want to teach, do not force it on her. Let her be her, and do not try to make her into this thought that we have about every pastor's wife that they should play the piano and teach.
These are just a few thoughts on the issue. So, how involved should your wife be in your ministry? I think that it is totally up to you and your wife. You guys discuss it, and come to a place where you feel comfortable. In my ministry, we are accomplishing a lot more with my wife involved than if my wife were not involved. She is my help meet, and personally, when the church called me, they called us both. We are a package deal, and it works for us this way, and we understand that it does not for others. The Bible is not clear on exact expectations of how involved should your wife be so I think that it is debatable. It works for us though, and we love it. My wife is as in love with Jesus and His ministry as much as I am, and that means the world to me!
Thoughts welcomed, just leave a comment below:

Yes it's the Farm Show one.
If I need to move 20'ers I'd torch up frontend pieces from scrap vehicles I have and attach to FL pockets.
I would just weld angle to 40' and blow off when done.
Wheels at the back shift a lot of weight onto tow hitch, OK on a robust truck. Not something I have. Wheels in FL pocket on 20'ers will load hitch much like a bumper pull. Wheels on a 40' at or near center should tow OK although I would likely pull with tractor (Ford 800).
My LIMITED experience with containers is 20' has pockets and 40' doesn't. As in most things there are always exceptions. So I'll have to look closer and ask more questions.
Thanks for you comments, appreciate your insight.
Design to 0.001", measure to 1/32", cut with an axe, grind to fit..
Better late than never?
Saw this at a huge flea market in the area. The owners rent containers to the long term vendors to lock their stuff up. What they did to move the containers was weld a pipe to the front and back of the containers. Using just a car jack the containers, on blocks, are lifted and wheels with the axles attached from a car are slid in to the pipes. The pipes have cutouts in them and the axles have a groove ground into them. The set up accepts a couple of R clips on each axle. A long, hinged tongue was attached to the container for pulling. The containers were moved with a big, commercial lawn mower\tractor. In place they get dropped back on the blocks. Safe enough considering top speed is only 5 to 10 mph. It's all done on tightly packed gravel which may make a difference.
So, you have stub axels inserted into recivers at the corners?
Do they swivel?
Or do they just let them skuff?
This probably isn't the best idea for a groomed lawn either. What will a Semi or other vehicle capable of carrying a 40' container that has to be backed in because it can't be turned around do to the lawn? Are there any other considerations like weight? Will these containers have to go over a septic system that a large vehicle will possibly fall in to? I saw a truck delivering dry wall do this. What a mess.
"Stub axles" as a description may be misleading. I think they were full size axle shafts plus the tires. I could be wrong in assuming a tight but slip fit in to the pipe. I also assumed the pipe used was more substantial than something like a galvanized water pipe.
The set-up obviously wasn't put together with efficiency to rolling considered, This is about fast, easy, simple and temporary. Old as Dirt describes a job where he just wants to get the containers moved from the front of the house to positioned in a prepared site in the back yard. As inexpensive as possible may be a consideration also. This solution is that if nothing else. Probably less than $100. If the future of the containers involves even occasional moves, this would not be a good idea. If the suggestion isn't a good one for him maybe it will spark an idea along with the other suggestions that is?
Your question is more than reasonable considering the shortcomings of my suggestion.
The Farm Show wheels mount in the forklift pockets and the hitch attachs to the corner tie down holes. Contr (20') is then moved much like a regular trailer.
Don't believe having fixed wheels would work as there would be several tight turns.
No septic or grass worries. Google Earth picture looks like the asparagus bin at Krogers. Too many trees to use pic as a map of lot.
Looked at the area I want to use and I think best way would be to cut down trees. Planned to cut a bunch myself, need to hire a expert to cut down the really big ones. Then container guys could drive in and place contrs. Think I'll use 40 or 45 std 8'ers as this is for dry storage and with a roof a place to park equipment.
Already have a pad for pole bldg. to use as a shop. Need to get my ass in gear and pour columns for wood frame.
Thanks for all who took the time to offer suggestion and opinions.
Old as Dirt
Left out two comments.
With me, cost vs value is always a consideration.
The 20' is about 5K lbs, the 40' is about 8k lbs. Two axles mounted with the ctr line forward of the contr C/L would mean you should be able to move either one with a P/U on reasonably level ground, better if you have a tractor on 40'.
Old as Dirt
A good sized front wheel assist tractor or my ancient front end wheel loader has proven to easily move these boxes. Unless you plan to move them regularly I would not go to the effort of building a set of wheels.
Moving with a bucket should have no teeth on it or you could get dents. I move these by looping a chain over the bucket lip and hook to each side pocket.
Once close to the resting place set the lifted end on 2 planks and come round and lift or push the other end, they will slide on the planks.
You got freedom of speech, if you don't say too much.
Aaron Neville.
The virtue is always a cover for the sin. That's the key to understanding the modern left. Whatever they're accusing you of doing, they are doing themselves but more enthusiastically. And that's definitely the story of Justin Trudeau. Tucker Carlson
I like the idea of putting the tubes for the stub axles at the center.
That would let them pivot.
There was a thread on here where somebody had a couple conex boxes moved by an outfit with a hooklift truck with adapter to handle them. One of those rigs could back right in drop it and go.

Dennis A Wright of Maryborough Victoria is a military wannabe and Doomsday Soothsayer who can foretell the future by being able to interpret the words of Nostradamus and he is preparing for the end of the world in the year 2012.
We have little interest in his occult powers but we do draw the line about his claims to being a Vietnam Veteran.
You will notice that Dennis has given himself a little air brush treatment around his snowy locks to give the impression of an aura. He runs a web site but we won't give a reference because we do not wish to publicise his weird philosophies.
Dennis is a wannabe because he claims to have been an Army Reserve Captain in the "Pyschiatric" Corp during the Vietnam era and during the 1968 Tet Offensive was on a visit to Saigon in Vietnam. His main war story is that "he ran through the streets of Saigon firing his sidearm at anything that moved".
Wright has told his stories to many people and we have Statutory Declarations detailing his statements
Veterans who were in Saigon at the time of the Tet Offensive know his statements to be stupid fabrication. Psychology Corps (there was no Psychiatric Corp) Officers did not run through streets shooting anything that moved.
Dennis A Wright is not on the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) Nominal Roll, which lists most Army Reserve/CMF Officer visits to Vietnam. Not being on that list is not conclusive proof that Wright is a wannabe but it is right up there at about 95% proof. When a person is not on the DVA Nominal Roll and in addition he does not have a Defence Force File in National Archives, the evidence that Wright is a liar and a wannabe is formidable and sufficient to earn a place on our web site.
Here is the notification from National Archives that they hold no file for Dennis A Wright:
Dear Ms xxxxxxxxxxx
Thank you for your inquiry regarding an Army dossier for Dennis A WRIGHT.
Post-WWII Army dossiers are held by the Central Army Records Office (CARO). They have advised he NAA that they were unable to locate a dossier for this individual.
Name:Dennis A WRIGHT
Served: Army Psych Corps, Vietnam War
Yours sincerely,
CARO Reference Officer
Access & Communications
Wright is one of those shameful individuals who have convinced his family that he served in Vietnam in 1968. Unless we correct that lie the Wright family for generations to come will have a corrupted version of the history of Dennis A Wright. The real Military history of Dennis A Wright is that there is no history, he did not serve in Vietnam and he is not a Veteran of any war. Dennis A Wright is a liar and a wannabe and will remain on our web site for ever more, unless his predictions are correct, and in that case he will be there until 2012.
This is published in the public interest, particularly that of the Vietnam Veteran Community. All information presented here is fact and the truth. Reports from private citizens are supported by statements of fact and statutory declarations.

Our 'not so wee man' Connor has been the reason I've not been around as much, getting the house ready, lots of renovation and faffing about doing baby related man duties.
Oh and here's the cryptic announcement message I did in my spare time:
And the baby shower invite I just scraped in with seconds 19 days to spare completing also in my spare time:
Did I mention how absolutely fantastically proud and happy we are! Me and my wife have been trying for the past 6 years and finally made it! Woho!
It's been good to be able to contribute constructively and creatively in this process as once he was in there the man's kind of left out of things. Man this is going to be an adventure. Stoked.
congrats dude
hope more to come
Congrats Me and my wife are awaiting a little girl she will arrive in september
Hey cheers man, likewise on the congrats , seeing as we'll be going through similar paradigm shifting life changes at around about the same time and you need someone to offload or just straight up talk send me a message any time.

I've found some wicked cool retro Metallica Lullabies / Nirvana Lullabies / Hoist the Colours / Drunken Whaler / the Dour Davey Jones locket song / Come Little Children - (very brothers grim fairy tale) and some hilariously sinister Hide and Skeek song on youtube just for a start.
Looking for any more if anyone has any ideas that'd be fantastic. Trying to convince my wife to put a speaker to the bump and propperly school him in metal before he's here. lawl.

Even though computers keep getting faster and hard drive space keeps getting cheaper, video files can still be unwieldy to share on the Internet. Typically, raw video files are too large for the web, so you'll need to optimize them first. Learning how to reduce video file size is important when it comes to uploading content to a personal website, sending it via email, or adding it to your YouTube channel.

How can the California PE FAQ be so confusing? I guess that is what happens when it becomes bureaucratization. The modus operandi seems to be legislate the corner case. If some rare bad thing happens, create a large framework of laws to make everything worse, but at least make sure that the bad thing doesn't happen. Then a new bad thing happens and the process starts all over again.
PE seems to be a case of the good intentions gone amok. First off, the instructor must be a properly credentialed PE teacher - unless none are available, in which case any union member can fill in. Yep, credentialing may have at one time been a means of helping ensure quality teachers, but now is just a union protection mechanism. Bureaucracy rears its ugly head.
The PE regulations also provide a lot of talk that really doesn't amount to much. Where are the standards like there are for other subjects? PE would be easy. Run a mile in 8 minutes. Do 30 push ups. It lends itself to measurement much better than academic standards. Yet that would be too politically incorrect. What about the out of shape kids? (Wait, isn't that the whole point of education?)
And then there is the whole team sport thing. Team sport participation doesn't really count as PE. Why? Probably because they would be getting too much exercise and not enough indoctrination.
Then we have the California Star test. In 2nd grade, the math questions are read to the students. They don't trust them to be able to read. In second grade! Ironically, a bunch of these kids walked out of the test and picked up their thick Harry Potter books. But, because they had to wait and twiddle their thumbs until the teacher could read the problems. (I'm glad they didn't do that when I was in second grade. I always preferred the written problems.) There was probably somebody somewhere that complained about getting bad math scores because they couldn't read. (Wait - aren't there reading tests also? Well, it isn't as if there is any coherent logic to this.)
At one time, the education system provided people with a common set of tools that they could use to interact in society. Now, education has tried to reduce that denominator as far as it can go. Pretty soon we will just have grunting as the standard. It attempts to cater to "subgroups". Why study T.S. Eliot when we can find a Vietnamese-Mexican Woman poet who wrote at the same time? The matching subgroup would obviously appreciate her writing more, even if the world at large previously disregarded it as fluff. (We wouldn't dare teach anything that was popular with the masses.) Under-represented minorities in certain fields are praised and more are encouraged to follow in their steps. But isn't this just a way of propagating the elitism? (The literature "canon" is mostly white men. Lets add women and minorities. That way we can still maintain an elitist "canon". Quality doesn't matter. Elitism does.)
We also have the case of technology in the classroom. The problem is that the students often know more about it than the teachers. If the technology really does help learning, could we just shorten the teaching day to allow kids to spend more time learning physics with Angry Birds?
What do children need to learn? How to get along with different people? How to live in a community? Well, with large magnet schools, people are back to more self-selected equality. So much for getting along with different people.
Maybe it is to enforce equality. Teach down to the lowest level. That way nobody has an advantage. The problem is that this just accentuates the advantage of the well-to-do. With degraded standards, those with resources will learn, while those without will stagnate at the "basic" level.
Perhaps it is just a means of providing jobs. At least our education does that well.

Dhaka, Nov 16 (UNB)- The Bangladesh Football Federation's budget for the next fiscal will be Tk 41.6 crore (Tk 416 million) and it has approved all its expenditure for the last three years from 2017 to 2019.
The disclosures came during the football governing body's much-hyped Annual General Meeting (AGM), chaired by BFF President Kazi Md Salahuddin, at Sarah Resort in Gazipur on Saturday.
Besides, Senior Vice-President Abdus Salam Murshedy, Vice-Presidents Badal Roy, members Shawkat Ali Khan Jahangir, Mahfuza Akter Kiron, General Secretary Md Abu Nayeem Shohag, Chairman of SAIF Sporting Club Tarafder Md Ruhul Amin and some 135 councillors and delegates from different associations, clubs and services were present at the AGM.
The AGM, which was last held in 2016 just hours before the last BFF elections, was held this time with just a few months left before the next BFF executive committee elections, expected to be held to be held in April 2020.
After the AGM, the BFF President expressed his satisfaction saying, "I am highly impressed today. Everybody was positive and we all are here to discuss about the development of country's football. Councillors expressed their opinion about it."
One of the BFF councillors and Chairman of SAIF Sporting Club Tarafder Md Ruhul Amin said, "Despite several objections regarding the audit reports (2017-19), we approved them in the greater interest of the country's football avoiding controversies."
Earlier, Bangladesh Football Clubs Association (BFCA), a platform of the country's football clubs with Tarafder Md Ruhul Amin serving as its president, threatened to call an extraordinary general meeting if the BFF executive committee failed to disclose audit reports and hold an annual general meeting (AGM).
On July 8, Tarafder Amin called on the BFF to arrange its much-awaited AGM and publish the audit reports within two weeks at a BFCA coordination meeting at Hotel Purbani International Ltd.

Most people have been lucky to have avoided brushes with the law on their way home from social functions over the years. Several nights ago, my friend, a grandfather of 82, went out for a few drinks with friends and although he'd had a few too many beers, he proceeded to order and then drank a margarita which was not a good idea. Aware that he was probably over the legal limit for alcohol consumption, he took a taxi home.
Sure enough, he encountered a police roadblock but because he was in a taxi, they waved him through. He arrived home safely without incident, much to his surprise. The next day he told me that he'd never driven a taxi before and was not even sure where he'd got it.

This revolutionary new way to make a caramelized onion burger will completely change your burger making routine! Juicy, flavorful, and topped with bacon; this caramelized onion burger recipe will be your new favorite!
Note: This post was updated with new content on July 16, 2018 for your enjoyment!
There it is, sitting on the tray – a gorgeous cheeseburger with the aroma of heaven wafting from it. You grab your bun, top it with some delicious condiments and make your way over to the toppings. A veritable (and literal) smorgasbord of fun lays out in front of you – lettuce, tomato, onion, and maybe, if your host is adventurous, bacon, mushrooms, or bleu cheese.
"OH GOODNESS GRACIOUS – GET IT IN MY MOUTH NOW!", you think. You collect the last of your ingredients, add your scrumptious patty (and maybe a few side dishes end up on the plate – but let's be honest, we know where your priorities are) and sit down. As you start to eat, mouthfuls of fragrant and flavorful meaty glory roll around your tongue, distracting you from all the troubles of the world. Suddenly you look down to notice that your patty is sliding off your bun, taking with it most of the toppings as well. You try with all your might to catch it, and hold it in your bun-prison, but before you can yell out a loud "Noooooo!!!!!".
This is one of my biggest frustrations about burgers. In order for it to be fun and flavorful, it always seems to fall apart. If you're ready to beat that problem, read on dear friend…
Skills & Techniques
To really master this caramelized onion burger recipe, here are some culinary skills I recommend reading up on:
- How To Buy & Store Ground Beef. This explains the different lean-to-fat ratios of hamburger and what each is best for.
- How to Roast Garlic. Make perfectly roasted garlic at home with this simple tutorial.
- Buying & Storing Fresh Herbs. There is a trick for keeping parsley fresh for a long time.
- How To Make Your Own Mayonnaise. It's 10x better homemade!
- How To Broil. This is absolutely the best way for reheating leftover grilled burgers!
- Understanding USDA Beef Grades. Find out if the USDA grade is worth the price.
To store any leftover burgers that you may have, keep them in a single layer (if they have cheese on them) in a shallow, airtight dish. They will stay fresh in the refrigerator like this for up to 5 days, but the longer they sit the drier they will become. Make sure to keep the patties separate from the buns and toppings for best storage results. NOTE: If you cooked your burgers to less than the 160°F internal temperature recommended by the USDA, your caramelized onion burgers run a risk of bacterial growth during refrigeration. If this concerns you, you can always crumble your leftovers and add turn them into tacos, lasagna, or spaghetti meat. Reheating them this way will help ensure they are completely cooked through. To store any leftover caramelized onion mixture, see the notes in the recipe.
If you decide to reheat your caramelized onion burger as it is, I recommend:
- Place a rack in the top third of your oven and preheat the broiler to high.
- Put the caramelized onion burgers in a single layer on a baking rack inside of a sheet pan lined with aluminum foil. The foil makes cleanup easier.
- Place the burgers in the oven near the broiler and cook for 2 minutes. Remove the sheet pan, flip the burgers, return them to the oven and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Remove the burgers from the broiler, place on your buns with fresh toppings and serve.
I recommend using the broiler because, like grilling, the quick cooking of the outside help keep the inside juicy. Be warned though, consuming raw or undercooked meat may have consequences. The USDA recommended internal temperature for ground beef is 160°F for killing of any potentially harmful bacteria.
Caramelized Onion Burger Recipe
While any type of onion can caramelize well, the best onion for burgers (in my opinion) is a sweet yellow onion. A Walla-Walla onion, if you can find them, is best! The onions are caramelized through a process of slow sweating, usually in a neutral oil (olive oil changes the flavor).
As if the slipperiness of the oil isn't enough – the onions have been sweating! Think of how slick you become after a good run or bicycle ride. Now picture yourself lightly coated in baby oil – that's the problem we're working with. So, how can you create a caramelized onion burger without the slip & slide action? Ah-Ha! Let's mix it INTO the meat! In order to give our caramelized onion burger the best flavor possible, we are going to take all those ingredients that may slip and slide around, and blend them into a paste. That paste will then get mixed into our burger.
One thing I would like to point out really quickly is that you don't have to use a blender or food processor to do this method. Just know that the smaller you cut your onions, the easier it is to mix it into the meat. If you were to use sliced onions (like I did the first time), you'll end up creating a fault-line in the meat that will make it more susceptible to falling apart as you cook and eat your caramelized onion burger. This goes the same for a larger dicing of the onions. Make sure to really use your knife skills and get the cuts as small as possible.

Caramelized Onion Burgers
Caramelized Onion Mixture
- 2 tbsp neutral cooking oil, , like canola or avocado
- 2 sweet yellow onions, , minced
- 6 cloves garlic, , roasted
- 2 tbsp parsley, , minced
- 1 tbsp worcestershire
- 1 tbsp whole grain mustard
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground pepper
Caramelized Onion Burgers
- 1 lb 80/20 ground hamburger
Burger Assembly
- 4 buns, , toasted (pub-style if you can find them)
- 4-8 strips of bacon, , cooked
- 1 cup arugula
- mayonnaise, , to taste
- 4 thin slices swiss or provolone cheese
Caramelized Onion Mixture
- In a heavy bottomed large skillet over medium low heat, heat oil and add in minced yellow onions. Reduce the heat to low and let the onion cook until caramelized to a golden brown- stirring occasionally - about 40 Minutes.
- Blend together the roasted garlic cloves, caramelized onions, Worcestershire, parsley, whole grain mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set aside.
- Preheat Grill.
Caramelized Onion Burgers
- Using your hands, smash at least 2 heaping tablespoons of the caramelized onion mixture into the ground hamburger until completely (and as evenly as possible) combined. Try not to overwork the meat, if possible
- Divide the mixture into four even quarters and form them into patties Allow the burgers to rest for 30 minutes before cooking so the flavors can marry and the burger doesn't get tough.
- Grill, turning at least once, until desired doneness is reached. Place one slice of cheese on top of each patty and let melt. Remove from heat and let rest 2 Minutes. Add cheese if desired.
Burger Assembly
- While grill is still hot, lightly toast the buns. Coat buns with desired amount of mayonnaise.
- Place arugula on the bottom bun (so it sticks to the mayo and is weighted down by the burger), add the burger patty, and 1-2 strips of cooked bacon on top of the burger (so it sticks to the mayo and the cheese), followed by the top bun. Enjoy.

A Newport News native, Wyatt hopes to teach abroad after graduation, attend graduate school, and eventually pursue a career as a novelist or screenwriter, or both.
Olivia Hudson received the Dinah Grossman-Wolfe Book Award. A junior English major minoring in both Anthropology and Religious Studies, Olivia is interested in the effect that global cultures have on American literature, philosophy, and culture. Although she entered the English major imagining herself a future high school English teacher, Olivia now imagines a career in higher education that promotes a cooperative global community. During her free time, this Dinwiddie County native enjoys cultural festivals, movies, and Harry Potter novels, which she believes are about much more than magic.
Jada Perez received the Black History in the Making Award. A May graduate who minored in Psychology, Jada is grateful that the English major allowed her to pursue reading and writing, both of which have been outlets of expression for her since grade school. Post graduation, Jada plans to complete a Master of Teaching before starting a career as secondary school English teacher.
Alisha Pope received the Riely Scholarship for Women. A senior English major and Richmond native, Alisha has been working on her VCU degree for over 17 years while also working in settings such as retail, hair salons, and VCU Health Systems.

We are happy to invite you to our next Reading Group on Tuesday the 28th of May, 18:00 - 20:30, when we will discuss New Religious Movements.
"Today… to speak of the soul, or even of interiority, is to mark oneself as a relic", writes Elizabeth Goodstein.
The resurgence of interest in cults and sects prove otherswise; the topic of spirituality has been brought back to light by groups such as New Religious Movements, more commonly known as New Religions.
In this reading group we will explore where the need to join these groups comes from and what type of knowledge is exchanged within their hierarchies (student/teacher, leader/disciple). To discuss these questions, we propose the following texts:
1) "Human Existence and Sanctified Life" (in The Sacred and the Profane) by Mircea Eliade, a text on religious behavior.
2) Pedagogy of the Oppressed, chapter 2, by Paulo Freire, where the character of the teacher/student relationship is examined.
3) Blessed are the wealthy*, which examines Lakewood, the biggest megachurch in America. Part 1, part 2, part 3.
*Title of article as it appeared in the print version. The online version title is: A preacher for Trump's America: Joel Osteen and the prosperity gospel.
For those interested in the topic, here is a link to a podcast on the cult NXIVM.
The Reading Group will take place in the Library or, if the weather allows, in the vegetable garden. We will prepare some drinks and snacks.
We would appreciate it if you read the texts in advance. Free copies of the texts can also be found in the library.
Please let us know if you would like to participate.
Happy readings,
Yasmine and Victoria.

"The 120 Days of Sodom is the Marquis de Sade's masterpiece. A still unsurpassed catalogue of sexual perversions and the first systematic exploration of the psychopathology of sex, it was written during Sade's lengthy imprisonment for sexual deviancy and blasphemy and then lost after the storming of the Bastille during the French Revolution in 1789.
Later rediscovered, the manuscript remained unpublished until 1936 and is now introduced by Simone de Beauvoir's landmark essay, 'Must We Burn Sade?' Unique in its enduring capacity to shock and provoke, The 120 Days of Sodom must stand as one of the most controversial books ever written, and a fine example of the Libertine novel, a genre inspired by eroticism and anti-establishmentarianism, that effectively ended with the French Revolution."

The Jonas Brothers secure first ever number one
- Bang Showbiz
- 12 March 2019
The Jonas Brothers have secured their first ever Billboard Hot 100 number one record with their comeback single 'Sucker'
The Jonas Brothers have secured their first ever number one record with 'Sucker'.
The group – which includes brothers Nick Jonas, Kevin Jonas and Joe Jonas – topped the Billboard Hot 100 with their eagerly anticipated comeback single, making them the first group this century to debut at the coveted number one slot.
They wrote on their joint Instagram account: "Today's a big day people. We're officially celebrating our FIRST EVER #1 on the @billboard Hot 100 plus the first group this CENTURY (and second group EVER) to debut #1 ... We can't thank you guys enough for all the support. We love you guys so much. Also want to give a HUGE thank you to @republicrecords @philymack @ryantedder @frankdukes @louisbellmusic and the rest of the team for all the hard work and putting everything behind this record. This is just the beginning ... #Sucker (sic)"
And the siblings each took to their own social media profiles to thank their fans for their support of 'Sucker', promising there was much more to come from them.
Kevin wrote: "Can't thank you guys enough for all the love!! We're so incredibly grateful for you guys. Thank you to @republicrecords @frankdukes @ryantedder @louisbellmusic @philymack and the rest of our incredible team! #1 Debut on the @Billboard Hot 100 LET'S GO!!! #Sucker (sic)"
Nick shared a humorous picture of himself asleep under a duvet with John Stamos' face on, captioning it: "I'll sleep well tonight knowing #sucker is number 1! (sic)," whilst Joe simply posted a video of the #1 plaque on his Instagram story.
And in a lengthy message, Nick said his heart was "full of gratitude" for his fans.
He wrote: "AHHH!!! This is unbelievable. My heart is so full of gratitude. There was a time I wasn't sure if I was ever going to be able to make music with my brothers again, let alone have a number 1 song on the Hot 100 on Billboard ... This is gonna be an unforgettable ride. Get ready! (sic)"
