Highly underestimated and taken for granted, your taste buds deserve more credit than they receive. With cooking and eating being two of life's great pleasures, they are used daily and help increase our enjoyment of food. Sadly, they are not used to their fullest capabilities, but we're here to change that. We'll explain the important role they play in helping you to combine and balance flavours in your cooking for maximum culinary enjoyment.
Five Tastes Which Help Our Food Come Alive
There are five basic tastes which encompass all food types. They are:
- Sweet – brings out other flavours in food
- Salty – reduces bitterness and helps other flavours to stand out
- Sour – gives foods the oomph factor
- Bitter – helps to create balance in a dish or meal
- Umami – brings a meaty or savoury taste to food
Each of these five tastes can be used independently or mixed with another in our food. It's needing to find the right balance by combining them in just the right amounts which is the challenging bit!
Guide to Balancing Flavours in Your Cooking
Here's a quick guide to understanding when to use each of the five tastes and how to correct your mistakes with them in your cooking:
- Sweet – if the food is too sour or bitter, it's time to add some sweetness to it. If it is too sweet, add sour ingredients, not salt! Sweet foods include sugar, fruit, maple syrup and honey.
- Salt – add salt when your food is too bitter or some of your ingredient flavours are not being noticed. If you add too much salt to a dish, you can try to reduce the saltiness by diluting the liquid, add a potato or additional sugar to the dish. Salty ingredients include salt, soy sauce, olives, some cheese and cured meats.
- Sour – add sour foods when a dish tastes bland, too sweet or too spicy. If you have a too-sour dish, try adding sweet ingredients to counteract the sourness. Sour ingredients include lemon, lime, vinegar and cultured dairy products such as sour cream and buttermilk.
- Bitter – use bitter tasting ingredients if your cooking tastes too sweet or rich. If a dish is too bitter, then try adding salt or sugar to reduce it. Bitter ingredients include dark chocolate and horseradish.
- Umami – add umami when your dish is balanced, but you feel like it is missing that something special. If it is too savoury, consider adding additional ingredients until it balances out. Umami ingredients include mushrooms, soy sauce, Parmesan cheese and meat broths.
Now it's time to head to the kitchen and experiment with these fabulous tastes! We have plenty of amazing recipes ready for you to try – come take a look!

BE provided an extraordinary service. In four days, I interviewed many bright boys and girls who were keen to board, and it was clear that they had been selected with great care. All the practicalities of the trip were dealt with so efficiently and we were very well looked after indeed. The trip was a revelation and really worthwhile.

Play and banner for web site (illustration and animation).
From our customer of Jerónimo Martins group, requested a new project development , similar to what We carry out already, web animation area of Pingo Doce.
The theme was the Brazil World cup 2014, and called up a web page to access 3 fun games and interactive banners filling the site. This campaign of filling on the World Brazil had a good number of visitors.
In the image above we have the microsite Homepage filling over the campaign of World Brazil with access to one of the games.
In the image below we have one that was the access page two of the games that were active during this campaign (Ball culture and ball rings).
As for animated banners made to be in filling the site were made in 2 formats (one for the footer of the site and one for "curtain effect") and both had direct access to the micro- site of this campaign.The banners and animated games, used in this campaign , had illustration work and graphic animation.

As we grow older, we forget our parents and grandparents are growing older as well. They have lived their whole lives trying to provide for us by giving us the best life they could afford, so the least we could do is provide for them also. As much as I would love to be able to provide for all my family members in order to give back to them everything they deserve, I cannot as of now. I am glad God has blessed me this long to live with my grandfather, a.k.a Granddad. He is the strongest and most inspiring person I know. I could not and would not just allow him to go to any kind of nursing home because he deserves the best. There are many must-haves and accommodations the nursing home must have before I allow my Granddad to stay there.
First, the nursing home must reach an A+ level of cleanliness in all rooms, bathrooms, etc. in order to live up to the code because like the old saying says "Cleanliness is next to Godliness". In order for the nursing home to be clean, they have to have many employees in order to keep the place clean for not only the ones staying there but for the ones working there also. Next, there has to be rules in order for the place to run smoothly. It is going to be hard because older people do not like following instructions or being told what to do but rules have to be set in place and enforced. Thirdly, there must be three daily meals including a balanced breakfast, good and study lunch, and a good evening dinner. There can be one or two snacks, but the workers must be very cautious with the ones that have illnesses, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc. Another thing must be that they do not let the ones living there just sit around all the time.
The nursing home should not be just a place for them to rest their head, so there must be exercises, games, etc. for them to do in order for them to keep their energy and spirits up. If I know anyone that is not going to stand still and do nothing, that is my Granddad. Even at his age, he still helps around the yard of his house and still works in the field with his sons; my dad and uncle. He teaches me every day that old age does not stop any work, but the word work itself. If I could be half the man he is, I would be a better man. Another thing is that the nursing home must have good relationships between the staff and the nursing home residents. Since the residents are going to be residing there for a while, they should get along with the employees and vice versa. There are too many stories of how residents are being treated unfairly by the staff, and I refuse for my Granddad to stay at nursing home where that happens. The residents should be able to know the staff members' name and whoever is over them in order to report in case something happens.
A place cannot run without a strict schedule to follow, so there should be rules set aside of what time to wake up, eat, and bathing, but it is going to be hard to put them on schedules because they have lived so long on their own and not being told what to do and when to do it. I wonder if any of the residents have doctor appointments, will there be transportation provided or will they have to call their family members in order to take them? I hope that there will be transportation provided.
Another thing is will they be able to control the temperature themselves in their room due to some patients being cold-natured or hot-natured? I think they should because some patients are cold-natured and some are hot-natured. I also would hope that there is a telephone and a television in each residents' rooms because the residents do want to have some fun instead of being bored in their room their whole time and they should be able to call their family members from time to time. The staff there must have positive attitudes whenever they are working because it will help lift up their spirits and the moods of the residents. It is easy for a resident's mood to get done especially if they continue do the same thing over and over again without any change in their daily routine. Another thing is that I hope they do routine checkups on the resident during the day and night. Some residents might be shy and not warm up to others quickly as the other ones do, so they might need a little push to keep their spirits high. I also hope that the residents are able to have their own rooms because most of the patients there have lived by themselves for years and if not by themselves; they have lived with their spouse and it might be difficult for them to get used to living with someone else. There should also be therapy allowed for residents and their families free of charge, because some family members are unable to pay for it but desperately need it.
Lastly, but most importantly that the nursing home must have a no discrimination policy. The nursing home must allow all residents regardless of race, gender, sexuality or sexual orientation, or disability. There should be no bias towards any residents nor employees. Also, all employees MUST pass a drug test before they get hired and constant drug tests should be given through the work experience. The drug tests can or can not be announced, but most of them should be announced so it will not seem as the nursing home is out to get its employees.
While no family members want to put any of their family members in a nursing home, some have to for different reasons, such as no one able to care for the family member. Thankfully, there are nursing homes that are able to take the heavy burden off of family members and carry some of the weight in order to take care of the family member. A family member can do all they can for their family but sometimes they may need extra help but are unable to get it from another family member, such as an only child caring for their parents by themselves. There are many must-haves and accommodations a nursing home must have in order for me to put my Granddad in, but those are just a few that could be listed.

Many of our school facilities have much needed but long neglected classroom renovations and infrastructure improvements. For example, Kihei High School has been under construction for many years and Campbell High School is extremely over capacity. Here's a snapshot of the five largest HIDOE public schools
- High Schools (all grades 9-12): Campbell (3,110), Mililani (2,571), Waipahu (2,554), Farrington (2,309), Kapolei (2,035).
- Intermediate (grades 7-8)/Middle (grades 6-8): Mililani Middle (1,873), Kapolei Middle (1,521), Waipahu Intermediate (1,294), Maui Waena Intermediate (1,176), Kalakaua Middle (1,075).
- Elementary Schools: August Ahrens (1,249), Holomua (1,163), Ewa (1,070), Keoneula (1,037), Waipahu (1,026)
I propose these solutions to clear up the school facilities management process:
- Increase facilities management transparency by holding regular neighbor island town halls.
- Create a priority list of repairs and needs for Hawaii's 288 public and charter schools
- Determine if neighbor island facilities are adequately being maintained by Department of Accounting and General Services
- Increase funds for facilities maintenance.
- Ensure charter schools are given fair access to CIP funding for facilities.
- Request a report of vacant state facilities for charter school use.
- Conduct an audit to cut unnecessary administrative costs and to make sure every dollar is used for its intended purpose.
- Partner schools with businesses and nonprofits so long-needed projects can be completed sooner.
- Inventory vacant state facilities that can be used for charter school facilities.
As Governor, my administration will visit all 288 of Hawaii's public schools to assess their facilities and to evaluate the priorities of repair projects. We need to bring the ear of the capitol closer to the voices of the students.

Traveling the world's furthest corners is a fantasy shared by billions. Visions of foreign lands carry a magnetism of intrigue; allure is a prime quality of that which lies beyond the status quo. However, for many, the appeal of travel is anchored in a desire to ease suffering in impoverished areas, and support a framework of social good.
Teachers seeking to spread knowledge abroad are an integral component of an increasingly sophisticated and wide-reaching mechanism of aid for the underprivileged. Developing nations look to the services of the learned and altruistic to offer youth a gateway from poverty into secure employment. But teaching abroad doesn't just benefit students' employment prospects; teachers can also expect to gain tangible and lasting career benefits from plying their skill abroad.
Earn international work experience
Our modern economy is a globalized one; gone are days when business was largely conducted behind borders. Employers understand that cultural norms of foreign affiliates must be respected, and actively pursue individuals with extensive experience working alongside different cultures. A resume stocked with international experience proves not only skill in adapting to cultural idiosyncrasies, but the courage to move beyond familiar comfort, and the tact to succeed amid transition.
Boost chances of graduate school acceptance
The prestige of being recognized as the among the best masters, doctoral or law programs affords top schools a degree of choosiness when fishing through an applicant pool. Worthy institutions hunt for candidates who can prove substance beyond a high GPA. Experience teaching abroad showcases the exact type of open-minded initiative and seasoned character which sets apart a prime candidate for grad school acceptance.
Master a new language
Mandarin, Arabic, French, Russian; across the globe, more people speak these tongues than any other. As a teacher, you understand that absorbing new info occurs best when constantly immersed in a dynamic learning environment, which is exactly what teaching abroad provides teachers, as well as students. Even learning an obscure language exemplifies cultural diplomacy and communication expertise, traits which net you the professional interest of international organizations such as the Department of State, United Nations, CIA, International Red Cross, and countless more.

A Unique Dining Experience
One of my favorite eating establishments of all time was Manero's Restaurant at 557 Steamboat Road in central Greenwich. My father-in-law introduced me to the establishment in 1976. I loved the atmosphere. Entire families would descend on the place. A sign on the wall said that if a baby was born at the restaurant, he or she would get free steak for life! You could get a filet mignon steak dinner for $9.95. This included steak, baked potato, onion rings, garlic bread, gorgonzola salad, dessert and coffee. The wait staff was fast and courteous. If it was your birthday, a quartet of waiters would bring out a birthday cake with candles, and sing "Happy Birthday" in a staccato fashion. There was a picture of Nick Manero, the owner, in a big chef's hat in the entryway of the restaurant. A butcher shop was attached to the outside of the building.
Nick Manero's Background
Nick Manero was born in Greenwich on March 15, 1904, to John and Grazia Mainiero. (The name was changed to Manero when they arrived in America.) They had immigrated to the United States on December 18, 1896, from Benevenuto, Italy. There were four brothers, and five sisters. Nick attended Greenwich High School and St. Lawrence University. During the Second World War, he served in the US Army Tank Corps. He said that when he saw how much food was being thrown away (wasted), he decided "to open a small steak house". Unfortunately, Nick had broken his collar bone earlier in school, and he was discharged. So he went to Hartford to work for Pratt & Whitney Aircraft.
War Time Meat Rationing
During the war, ration stamps were issued. Nick used his rations to buy meat, and stored it in a building on Mason Street. After a while, he decided to start a steak house (1946). His mother and father would help with the cooking, while his sister Mary helped wash the dishes. Neighbors and relatives provided him with ice since he had no icebox. When business started to pick up, he hired some cooks. One of these was Luca Gabriele, who later started Luca's Steak House on Mechanic Street (Sherwood Place).
When Mary saw how much meat scrap was being thrown away, she convinced Nick to use it to prepare ground beef and sell it. She said he could get 50-cents a pound for it. He couldn't keep up with the demand! This is how the butcher shop started. Nick began offering meats, salads and other items from the restaurant. Eventually, you could buy a whole meal through the meat store. Manero aged his meat 28-days, which gave it a distinctive flavor. The butcher shop and restaurant supported each other, and eventually turned Manero's into a million dollar business.
Manero's Success
As it turned out, Nick was a master at advertising. He ran ads in the local newspapers, and had commercials on local radio. His chef's hat became his trademark. People from all over came to his restaurant. It was not uncommon to see well-known celebrities such as Andy Rooney, Arnold Palmer, Buster Crabbe and Ivana Trump at Manero's. Nick became somewhat of a local celebrity himself. His hard work had paid off.
Changing Business Climate
Nick Manero died on September 14, 1980. He left behind a very lucrative business, which his family continued to run. During this entire time, however, no significant renovations had been undertaken to the restaurant.. The original wooden tables and woodwork still remained. New restaurants were providing competition with newer facilities and changing food fare. The land was becoming more valuable than the buildings. Business started to slip. The Manero family decided to sell.
In 2006, after 62 years of serving the community, the restaurant was sold to 3 businessmen, who wanted to build business suites and residential condominiums. The restaurant that had once sold 1,100 steak dinners on a Saturday night for $5.95 now had to charge $30. No longer were trucks delivering 50,000 pounds of meat a week to the restaurant. Fortunately, the butcher shop relocated to Bruce Park, and changed its name to Greenwich Meats. You can get complete steak dinners or buy your own meats. But the restaurant had seen better days.
Nick Manero's Legacy
Ironically, Nick Manero had wanted to be a lawyer. Unfortunately, he couldn't pass the bar. Maybe this worked to his benefit because he and his restaurant gained great renown. Manero's restaurant was a favorite landmark for residents and out-of-towners. You always felt like you were a part of a larger family when you went there. It was comforting to sit and eat with other families. The surroundings were always warm and friendly.
I'm not ashamed to say I miss Manero's Steak House.

My friend James Ash read the beginning chapter "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck to me.I did this illustration in response to it… really enjoyed it and the series of visuals were very bold in my head and wanted to bring them together. If you have read the book then you maybe able to makee sense of the image, if not… then just enjoy it.
Was a lot of fun to draw and may hit it with some gold watercolour tones.

Today it's a hot hatchback challenge, between a Mini John Cooper Works 3dr hatch - let's call it the Mini JCW - and the Abarth 595 Competizione.
These are two lairy, good fun, wildly characterful hot hatches. They might not be the ultimate in keenness - you'd look to something like the Ford Fiesta ST if you wanted the greatest all rounder in the class - but they both offer something unique and entertaining.
The Mini JCW has a big 2.0-litre turbocharged engine with plenty of power and its sophisticated chassis ought to make it very capable. The Abarth 595 is a more curious hatch - a city car with aggressive looks and the aggression turned up to 11.
We like them both. But which will our expert road testers, Mauro Calo and Matt Prior, think is the best? Join us on the roads of Wales in the height of, er, summer, as we find out.

Mini reveals facelifted John Cooper Works hatchback and convertible
Join the debate
Mini JCW V Abarth 595
I don't own an Abarth, but I wished I did. I'd hoped I was going to see a 595 Rivale, a 595 Essesse. Or even a reference to the new 695 70th Anniversario. This review Damned with faint praise at best... they just don't get it. Taking the piss.. 5 seconds in...!!! You just don't get ABARTH....It not meant to be like a BMW Mini. It reminds people of the Original Mini Cooper S. And the Racing heritage since 1947. In this video there's even a reference to Horses head...Angry Jellybaby...I wan't to like it...come on..!!!. He would use it to go and get a pint of milk. You obviously didn't know about the Massive Abarth Event in Milan this past weekend. ABARTH DAY 2019 or the new 595 Essesse or the 695 Anniversario. Do some research into what the Brand means to the enthusiasts. Come on.
No Abarth enthusiast would be seen dead in a mini
Exactly as you say Rivale, the Mini does not engender the same passion as the Abarth, and trying to judge 2 cars that really do sit in different segments objectively as in the test, wilfully misunderstands why Abarth enthusiasts love their cars.
They have style, cool factor, look incredible, and are much greater than the sum of their parts.
Disappointing from Autocar
If only the Abarth lived up
If only the Abarth lived up to its forebears. The 500 looks good and has a certain charm but the truth is neither of these cars are very good, certainly not on UK roads. Both seem overblown and prioritise showroom appeal over being genuine drivers' cars.
If this was a triple test with, say, the Fiesta ST they would get monstered.
No Abarth enthusiast would be seen dead in a mini
Great post! Speed was a regular issue. thanks to autocar. it is resolved now.
Your choice.......?
Yes!, not mine though , Teutonic please!

When: April 1-29 | M-F 8-4:30pm
Artist's Reception: Thu, March 17, 5-8pm
After receiving her degree in Michigan, Bunny taught there and traveled to Guam to teach students as well as Massachusetts and Jacksonville. After being introduced to watercolors at the Ringling School of Art in Sarasota, she has exhibited in several Jacksonville locations. She is one of 35 artists in the Liquid Muse: Painting of the St. Johns River Region.
Tom's passion for painting started in high school and continues to this day. While in the Navy, he switched mediums from oils to acrylics, which enabled him to paint while on the ship.
He received a fine arts degree from U.N.F. and went on to teach art in middle school until he retired. His compositions are mostly landscapes from around the beaches or from places he has visited. His most recent art is a representation of trips to Egypt and China. "I try to capture the feel and colors of the environment." Tom exhibits his art only on occasion, so don't miss his display at the Adele Grage Gallery this month.

The Cure frontman Robert Smith is refuting the goth label that has been associated with the band.
"Goth was like pantomime to me. I never really took the whole culture thing seriously," he says.
Read more: 20 DIY goth accessories that will make your friends jealous
During an interview with TimeOut ahead of this year's Meltdown festival, which Smith is curating, the musician discussed wearing makeup for the first time in 18 months, goth culture and why how the Cure did (or didn't) fit in it.
Smith explains the word "goth" doesn't resonate with him—and never really did.
"We got stuck with it at a certain time when goths first started," he tells TimeOut. "I was playing guitar with Siouxsie And The Banshees, so I had to play the part."
But what about his signature look, with the black outfits, lots of makeup and the haircut?
"It's just a theatrical thing. It's part of the ritual of going on stage. Also there is the prosaic reason: I have ill-defined features and naturally pale skin," Smith explains. "I mean, not at the moment, because I unfortunately fell asleep in the sun yesterday—very un-goth."
"Anyway, one day my hair will all fall out and I won't look gothic any more," he jokes. "So just wait for that."
Plus, according to the singer, the day of the interview was also his first time wearing makeup in 18 months. "I don't go out like this," he notes. "I couldn't even find my make-up yesterday to come up here."
However, it doesn't mean that he doesn't like goths. Smith's problem is with the label, and the music.
"Every goth I've ever met has been very nice, you know? As a subculture, I think it's full of wonderful people. But I have never liked what's classified as goth music," the Cure's frontman explains.
So, here's the situation: One of the world's biggest goth icons doesn't see himself as goth, really. It's all a ritual. What's even real anymore?

The 3 Biggest Uniform Fashion Issues - Service Uniform
Having your employees wear company uniforms isn't a new thing. But a recent work fashion trend has been growing: employees who create their own uniform fashion.
This coincides with the rise of minimalist fashion, where individuals shrink and simplify their wardrobes to only pieces they truly love. Except, with this concept of uniform dressing fashion, people choose one simple look and wear almost identical outfits every day.
An example of this is Steve Jobs, with his iconic black turtleneck tucked into jeans with a belt.
The reason people are picking up on this trend is to make shopping easier, save time in the morning when picking out an outfit, and ultimately make themselves feel more refreshed and energized.
But it's not a perfect system. Here are some of the problems with employees creating their own uniform fashion:
1. Each employee's "uniform" is different
Not only do uniforms keep employees safe and comfortable on the job, but they also represent your company. They show organization and help customers identify who works for your business. When each employee chooses their own uniform fashions, each employee is going to have their own personal dressing fashion. All of your employees will look different, making it harder for customers to identify who works for your company.
2. Not all uniform fashions may be appropriate
When selecting their own personal uniform, your employees are going to base this choice off of what they feel most comfortable in and what they believe to be practical. Their uniform then gets based off of what they believe to be appropriate, and not what your business may believe would be the best outfit for the job.
3. Custom uniform fashions can cost employees more money
With a quality uniform company, you can save both your business and your employees money on their uniforms. High-quality uniforms shouldn't come at a high cost. Make sure your employees are getting the right uniforms at a reasonable cost when you work with a quality uniform company.
Don't leave uniform fashion to your employees.
Take control of your business and its appearance. With Service Uniform, you get quality uniforms from a company that cares about your bottom line. Contact us today at 303-936-4701 to learn more about our high-quality uniform fashions.

Answering our Breo Hero questions this week is Emily Ashwoods of the WXC World Racing mountain biking team.
How long have you been mountain biking?
I learnt to ride my bike when I was 3 years old and loved it, going out on rides with my family. Then my dad encouraged me to join my local cycling club when I was 10 and that's when I really got interested in mountain biking.

Did you start off the new year with goals and plans? Are you achieving everything you set out to do? Feel invigorated by your new life?
If you answered "no" to any of the above, you could be missing out on a key component to achieving what you want ? making a decision, then making a declaration.
One of the reasons we fail to achieve what we want is because we have not DECIDED this is what we want. Once we decide this is it, no going back, this is who I am, this is where I am going, the momentum starts to build. When we go after big goals it basically requires a re-invention of who we are, how we behave. Otherwise we will just be the same old person trying/hoping/wishing to get something we have always longed for.
Here is an example. Every year many millions of people set the goal to shed some weight. They plan out their ultimate goal with milestones in between, they may join a gym, hire a trainer, join a support group. A year later they are back where they started ? hoping/wishing/wanting.
There is no energy in hoping/wishing/wanting. There IS energy in DECIDING. Notice the difference when you say: "I hope I lose weight this year" versus "I decide to lose weight this year." The 'decide' is unequivocal, fierce, definitive, assertive, action-oriented. To "hope" is 50-50, stuck, limp. Don't be a limp noodle! Make a decision, and BE that decision.
How do you BE a decision? Make a declaration that creates the new you.
Example: "I am now in perfect health. I am someone who respects and honours their body with regular exercise and nutrition. I feel good and look awesome!"
Sounds better than "I wish/want/hope to lose weight this year", doesn't it?!
So go ahead ? decide, declare, and reap the rewards of your new energy!

By now, FKS had issued at least eight UK league sticker collections, dating back to the late-1960s. This was the first to feature a Villa side. The stickers themselves were designed to be glued along the top edge only, so that when in-situ, they could be lifted off the page as if on a hinge, to reveal biographical info on the player in question printed in the album. These stickers are unsurprisingly among the rarer of the Villa squads.

No gum - just a designated strip at the top where glue can be applied.

Sarajevo - Levski (2012)
06.04.2013 at 08:55h
After the defeat from the team of Levski in Sofia with the score of 0:1, in the return match played at the stadium of Koševo, Sarajevo FC managed to beat the Bulgarian team and thus reach the third qualifying round for the Europe League. The aggregate score of the two-leg match was 3:1 in favour of the bordeaux-white team.
Sarajevo FC started offensively, exactly as Jović had announced. It was in the 12th minute that Belošević strongly kicked the ball away and Husejinović brilliantly followed its movement, came to the penalty area of the guests and hit the net of Iliev. The cheering on the stands had not even stopped when the net behind Levski's goalkeeper's back was hit again. It was a fantastic action, finishing with Hadžić's finding Suljić who masterfully scored a goal from full sprint, thus increasing the lead score for his team.
At the 26th minute of the game, Hadžić launched a brilliant half volley shot but Iliev was on guard and diverted the ball out for a corner. Thereafter followed a slower period of the game, up until the 34th minute, when Levski reduced the lead score difference of the home team. A single charge of Tatomirović over Ivanov resulted in referee Balaj's calling for penalty, too harshly, as it seems. Unfailing from the penalty spot was De Carvalho. By the end of the first half, the team from Koševo did not manage to recover or pose any serious threat to the guests. It should be stressed that Jović was forced to make a substitution and Tadejević came into the game instead of Zlatković.
In the continuation of the match, Sarajevo FC started offensively, but the Levski defence was right at its place. In the 56th minute, Sarajevo FC had a colossal opportunity. Assisted by Hadžić, Husejinović shoots from close range, but the goalkeeper of the guests fantastically defends. Not long after that, the kick of Tadejević was also blocked. Six minutes later, Sarajevo FC's best player at this match, Husejinović, corrects his mistake. In an unstoppable breakthrough, he dribbled past a couple of Levski's players and then unleashed a powerful shot hitting the corner between the crossbar and a goal post of Ilijev's goal and thus provoking an eruption at Koševo. In the 67th minute, Belošević's free kick sends the ball right past the goal.
In the 72nd minute, a great chance for Levski. Luckily for the home team, De Carvalho misses after a head kick. A minute later, Belošević strikes but misses. In the 84th minute, Karamatić makes an attempt, but the ball goes over the crossbar. In the following attack, Silva's kick fell short. The bordeaux team managed to keep their net safe until the end of the match and the celebration at Koševo could begin.
Sarajevo - Levski 3:1
Stadium: "Asim Ferharović-Hase".
Referee: CristianBalaj (Rumunija).
1:0 Husejinović (12')
2:0 Suljić (14')

Why I love middle school #4
I was walking down the hall last week sporting my brand new t-shirt.
One of my students stopped me and said "cool t-shirt." I was so excited that a middle school kid understood what was written. I was even more excited that he was obviously going to follow up his comment with a conversation. He obviously had such a deep thought coming…
"Mr. Bogush, he is so cool."
"I agree."
"I have just never seen him without hair."
"Huh…I have never seen in a picture with his hair! You must have seen a picture of him when he was younger."
"Maybe, but the pictures of him with his hair make him look so cool."
"You'll have to show me one someday."
"I will, either way, he was a cool musician."
"Gee, I never knew he was a musician!"
"Mr. Bogush…seriously? You didn't know Beethoven was a musician?"
The other three reason why I love middle school are here.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Thanksgiving holiday is traditionally a time of travel. This year, according to AAA, more than 55 million Americans are making plans for a road trip; this is an increase of 2.9 percent from last year. The National Safety Council estimates that there could be over 400 roadway fatalities during this Thanksgiving holiday. Traveling by car has the highest fatality rate.
The American Property Casualty Insurance Association (APCIA) is urging travelers to take extra precautions, as the number of drivers with increased distractions and impairments make holiday travel more dangerous.
"The Thanksgiving holiday is traditionally a time to gather with family and friends. Driving impaired – whether you're under the influence of alcohol or drugs or distracted – poses a real risk to drivers.
"Too many drivers are still texting, watching movies, or posting to social media while driving. And now with all but 16 states allowing some legal form of marijuana use, there is even more reason to be concerned about the potential dangers on the roads," said Christy Thiems, senior director, policy, research, and international, APCIA.
Marijuana use can slow reaction times and interfere with coordination, perception, judgment, and other critical abilities necessary for safe driving. Currently, there are no standardized methods of measuring marijuana impairment in drivers, such as a Breathalyzer.
"We all need to commit to driving safer. Eliminating impairments, focusing on the road, as well as staying alert to driving conditions and other cars truly can prevent crashes," added Thiems.
APCIA offers these tips for safer driving:
Never drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Remember, just like driving drunk, driving high is illegal. Evidence shows that marijuana use can impair critical abilities necessary for safe driving, such as attention, reaction time, lane tracking, and cognitive and executive functions. Whether you're high or drunk, your judgment, motor coordination, and reaction time are impaired.
Avoid distracted driving. Never hold the phone, text, or use apps while driving. Try to limit other distractions, such as eating and be aware that having more passengers in the car multiplies the opportunity for distraction. Secure pets in the back of the car.
Buckle up. Whether you're traveling to see friends or family or just running errands, buckle up and drive safely. Seat belts save lives and help prevent injuries. Also, make sure kids are in the proper car or booster seats.
Plan ahead and allow extra travel time. With more people on the road, often driving in unfamiliar territory, the potential for auto crashes increases. Plan routes in advance when traveling to new destinations to avoid being distracted by the GPS.
Observe speed limits. Stay focused on the road and aware of changing traffic patterns caused by construction. Enforcement penalties for texting while driving are often higher in construction zones.
Have a plan for roadside assistance. If you are involved in a crash, have the phone number for your insurer or roadside assistance program ready. Beware of towing companies that take advantage with excess fees and making it difficult for people to retrieve their cars.

This particular portrait came about completely by accident. Mike was in our back garden where we were looking through a great pile of photo albums. It was a bittersweet experience for both of us — him because his late wife, Sue, was obviously the love of his life - smart, kind, intuitive, funny - and me because I had never met her and was saddened by that. I wanted to paint Sue as a gift for Mike but was really daunted by all the small photos which might not have enough information for me to paint them. We looked through all of the albums pages, found the photos which we both liked, and talked about their lives together.
Although the sun was shining, we were on our largely shaded stone patio and I happened to look up to see a lovely shadow pattern playing on Mike's face. He was obviously thinking about Sue, gently smiling to himself, and so, being a typical painter, I grabbed my phone and took a picture. I can't remember if Mike himself looked at it, but I knew it had caught him. The painting process bore that out, and the only remaining challenge is to decide whether to create a background (probably indistinct greens to contrast with the ruddiness of a late summer tan) or to just leave the rubbed Indian Red of the underpainting, a solution which has the virtue of sincere simplicity, given the subject.
Although I am still unsure of finding the right photographic references to capture Sue, at the very least Mike will have a painting of himself thinking about her lovingly. It will be titled "Remembering Sue," of course.

Street Performer In New Orleans Pulls Awesome Transformer Tricks
Street performers tend to pull out many awesome tricks and mesmerize the crowd around them. People love seeing these talented humans as they're putting quite the show in public. Everyone, especially kids are very interested and captivated by these acts.
NOLATron, as he likes to call himself is one hell of a street performer. He transforms himself from a kid-size power car into a human-machine that resembles Bumblebee from the popular movie 'Transformers'. His real name is Joselyn Paige and he is a 28-year-old street artist who was spotted first in Michigan city.
After moving to New Orleans, Paige became homeless and he somehow got a job at the Margaritaville restaurant. But he eventually got bored and quit his job. Inspired by the street performers in the city, he decided that he would do the same for living. He says 'If I could do this for the rest of my life, I would'. On his best day, he earns around 700$ in tips.
Joselyn told the media that driving as a car, has brought him a lot of cramps and painful knees at the end of the work day. While most of the kids meet his transformation with gasps and fascinations, there were few of them that get pretty scared. His amazingly detailed and functional costume has cost him about 800$ to make.
Take a look at this street performer in New Orleans, Louisiana who shows off his incredibly realistic Transformer costume. It's even fully motorized as well! How cool is that? Maybe he will inspire other people to make such costumes and try their luck on the streets, who knows!

Matt Waymeyer has a good article over at Pulpit Magazine. Here's an excerpt:
"FG teachers would go so far as to say that if an individual were to believe in Christ for a brief moment—even as brief as 10 seconds—and then recant of that belief and live out the rest of his life as a Christ-rejecting atheist who never obeys God, that individual is a true child of God and will some day be in heaven. In other words, rather than recognizing that such an individual did not truly believe in Christ to begin with (1 John 2:19), Free-Gracers would affirm that person's faith and conversion as genuine, for regeneration is no guarantee that one will persevere in the faith.
Among the many passages of Scripture which contradict FG on this point is Matthew 7:21-23. In this passage, Jesus says:
(21) "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. (22) Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' (23) And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.'"
The obvious problem that this presents for the FG position is Jesus' assertion that only those who "do the will of my Father" will enter the kingdom. This runs contrary to the FG gospel which says that most of those who end up in heaven will not have lived a life of obedience to God during their lives on earth.
One of the primary ways that FG teachers try to solve this dilemma is by using John 6:40 to interpret "the will of My Father" in Matthew 7:21 (e.g., see Joseph Dillow, The Reign of the Servant Kings, 199; Bob Wilkin, Confident in Christ, 216). According to this approach, doing the will of the Father in John 6:40 (and therefore in Matthew 7:21) refers to believing in Christ. Therefore, Matthew 7:21 simply says that only those who do the Father's will (which is to believe in Christ) will enter the kingdom of heaven. And with that, the tension between Matthew 7:21-23 and FG theology suddenly vanishes. Or does it?"

Medical Sciences
The Medical Sciences Pathway will provide students wishing to pursue a career in Medical Sciences support to access a deeper understanding of the careers within this area and valuable opportunities to help them stand out in their applications to Higher Education. This pathway covers a wide range of careers, including medicine, dentistry, veterinary science, pharmacy, biomedical science and nursing.
The Pathway
Students are likely to be studying at least two science subjects.
Students can take any of the 'Plus 1' options. However, they are strongly encouraged to study Core Maths if they are not taking A Level Maths.
The EPQ also offers an opportunity for students to research a specific area of medical interest and is strongly recommended for students who are applying for university courses where selection includes an interview. Many students applying for these courses will study four subjects, plus an EPQ.
The pathway will emphasise the importance of work experience and will require students to maintain a reflective journal of their experiences. This will be complemented with a varied programme of other enrichment activities, including:
- Guest speakers
- Practice days
- Tailored support and tuition for UKCAT, BMAT and TSA tests
- Critical Thinking
- Academic Discussion Groups
Each student will design their own bespoke programme at the beginning of the year in conjunction with the staff leading the pathway.

Gorgeous post, Julie!. Great job with hiring the assistants. I just hired a bookkeeper PT. I hired a PT assistant, too. Problem is it's very hard for me to learn to delegate ;-/ Even though I know delegation is the key to success. For so many of us perfectionists, it means letting go a little and just letting it all "get done." I always have to remind myself: "Imperfect action is better than perfect inaction." — Harry Truman Can't wait to see your creativity soar even higher 😉
I'm obsessed with all of these photos- the one with the green desk kills me- I need it!
I love this montage of "spots" – beautiful!!
Love the post! I love leopard and I have a few pieces in my wardrobe, but I'm looking for exciting ways to incorporate it in my home.

(Article contributed by Ku Swee Yong, CEO of International Property Advisor Pte Ltd.)
In May 2019, the government relaxed rules for older people looking to buy old flats using more money from their CPF accounts. The aim of amending the rules was primarily to improve the demand for older flats, so that the value of older flats may be maintained for longer. (Source: MOM Press Release: More Flexibility to Buy a Home for Life While Safeguarding Retirement Adequacy)
One of the examples quoted in the Ministry of Manpower's press release described a couple, John (age 48) and Jane (age 45), who is buying an old 4-room flat with 50 years left on the lease. The age of Jane, the youngest buyer, and the remaining lease equals to 95 years in total, satisfying the new criteria for using CPF to fund their purchase in full. The price of the flat is

Malloy announces money for affordable housing
HARTFORD (AP) -- The state is making $25 million in new funding available to build and renovate affordable rental units in Connecticut.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy announced Monday that the funding will allow 250 rental housing units to be built or remodeled. Owners and developers can apply for loans or grants from the Department of Economic and Community Development through the Competitive Housing Assistance for Multifamily Properties initiative. Applications are to be submitted to the DECD by April 13.
Projects will be rated and ranked based on their rental affordability, local commitment and financial feasibility. The DECD will also consider an applicant's capacity and experience.
Earlier this month Malloy added more than $330 million to state spending on affordable housing, raising the state's total commitment to nearly $500 million over 10 years.

We know that nostalgia is that sentimental longing for the past, most especially for a time, event or a place with happy associations.
Nostalgia Intensity, because more often than not, these nostalgic intervals crash over us with frightening intensity, it demands to be felt. It is true that memories are there to keep us warm, to remind us that there are happy things and people in life that make this journey worth taking, but these memories also evoke a certain shade of sadness within us. Admit it, once or twice you found yourself reliving a part of the past with tenderness and melancholy, knowing that it will never happen again, not with the same person, in the same place, or in the same event. The intensity of the knowledge that all is lost gives us pain, a heartache of sorts. It is like coming home to nothing but ghosts.
And the intensity of the nostalgia can only be found inside our hearts, reflected in our eyes and little smiles.

Forever in Flat Fees?
Managing partners and law-firm chairmen worldwide, listen up. Here's our fearless prediction for the day: 2010 will be the year of the flat-fee arrangement. So start figuring out how to get them done with your clients, and how to make them profitable.
The latest arrangement to hit our radar screen comes courtesy of the Recorder and involves Levi Strauss and Orrick.
According to the story, earlier this year, Orrick partner Karen Johnson-McKewan inked a deal with client Levi Strauss in which Orrick will handle all of Levi Strauss's legal work in exchange for a yearly fixed fee, paid in monthly increments. Levi Strauss will keep only one other firm — Townsend and Townsend and Crew — to handle some of its IP work.
And here's an interesting wrinkle: where Orrick doesn't have an office, Orrick itself will retain and pay outside counsel. The deal, which kicked off . . .

The Monuments Men (directed by George Clooney, based on the book by Robert Edsel and Bret Witter) would be an easy movie to dismiss or mock if you were so inclined. World War II film about aging scholars rescuing and returning art… Doesn't Hollywood so like to congratulate itself about its own artistic contributions, etc., etc.. But, with Clooney determined to give us an effective history lesson, and with an all-star cast (Bill Murray, John Goodman, Matt Damon, Jean Dujardin, Cate Blanchett, and Bob Balaban) determined to tell a genuine tale, the result is a very fine movie.
It is a story worth telling – the mystery and intrigue of tracking down all the art the Nazis confiscated, the misgivings of some about the allies' goals for recovering said art, and even the race with the Soviets. And within the meta-elements of the film, a very interesting study of war-movies. The gathering of the team, the guys who despise each other at the outset only to become best friends, the showdown in Act III… At the heart of the story these Monuments Men had very noble goals, but like soldiers everywhere they continued on mostly for each other. This is a line that goes back from Saving Private Ryan to The Big Red One to The Dirty Dozen.
You leave the theater on a positive note. After all, we did rescue the art and return it where possible. The important signposts of Western Civilization return home. When President Roosevelt asks Lt. Stokes (Clooney) if it was all worth it, he has a definitive answer. A little later you may find yourself considering how the same symbols and signposts, the same Western Civilization also led to Hitler, the Nazis, and the Holocaust. Well, that's history for you.
