Ecological Functions
Nitrogen fixer
Nothing listed.
Nothing listed.
Pre-soak the seed for 24 hours in warm water and then sow in early to mid spring in a greenhouse. Either sow the seed in individual pots or pot up the young seedlings as soon as possible in order to avoid root disturbance. Grow them on in the pots until planting out in their final positions. It is usually impossible to transplant this species without fatal damage to the root[2]. Division in spring. With great care since the plant resents root disturbance. It is virtually impossible to divide this species successfully[2].
Practical Plants is currently lacking information on propagation instructions of Psoralea pedunculata. Help us fill in the blanks! Edit this page to add your knowledge.
We have very little information for this species and do not know if it will be hardy in Britain, though judging by its native range it should succeed outdoors in many parts of the country. Some botanists have moved this plant into a different genus, where it is called Orbexilum pedunculatum[3]. The following notes are based on the general needs of the genus. Succeeds in an ordinary garden soil[4]. Requires a well-drained soil in a sunny position[2]. Plants are very intolerant of root disturbance, they are best planted out into their permanent positions whilst still small[2]. This species has a symbiotic relationship with certain soil bacteria, these bacteria form nodules on the roots and fix atmospheric nitrogen. Some of this nitrogen is utilized by the growing plant but some can also be used by other plants growing nearby[2].

Sookie Loves Flickr
revue stroll
Originally uploaded by 416style.
A couple of weeks back I formed my own group on flickr to which others join and post pictures relative to the topic. Called fourONEsixSTYLE, for Toronto's area code, it explores everything that's unique about this city we love. I've been amazed at the quality of images that are posted to the site and the number of members which just keeps growing. Flickr's blog friendly aspect is great too. I can post to my blog from within flickr and have constructed a flash flickr icon in the sidebar of this blog to take you straight to fourONEsixSTYLE. Have a look.
I'm not the only proud Torontonian on the flickr block. Several great Toronto groups have sprung up, like Toronto Lovers, Where In Toronto? and Toronto Transit. A recent group called Toronto's Little Cities intrigued me as well. When I joined it there were not yet any photos but an assignment: Choose an ethnic Toronto neighborhood and post no more than 12 photos from the area depicting it in all its lively vibrant colour.
Someone had taken my neighborhood, Little Poland they called it, but that didn't stop me really. I took my stroll up and down the (now) Polish thoroughfare of Roncesvalles on the suggested weekend and found myself at odds. It was a greyish day, no one was about. It pleased me initially. I didn't really want to share the vivid side of this neighbourhood, now gaining popularity among the first home buying set. I wanted to portray the darker side and keep newbies away.
When I moved back to Toronto at age 12 (some years ago) my family settled in a cozy and eclectic part of Toronto called Bloor West Village. Its charm surpassed anywhere else I'd known, with its European pastry shops, old world delis, boutiques and barbershops. Big business has since moved in and small shops have moved away due to ridiculous lease rates. A McDonald's has replaced the barbershop where I'd watch my sixth grade boyfriend get his haircut. The old paint shop is now a Timothy's coffee shop. Roncesvalles Village is the Bloor West I remembered and I still don't want it tainted.
The photos I took home from that weekend shoot, however, of decaying back alleys, fallen signs and large cranes set against a foreboding sky, just didn't do my home justice. I gave myself a couple more weekends of exploring and found some life, just enough to pull away a dash of vibrancy, of fruit stands set aglow, of unusual coffee shops where locals chat and of our much overlooked but adored cinema The Revue. Things will change I know, as lofts move in with big business too but I'm happy to have marked my place in time in a neighborhood I hold so dear.


text: The Dr. Laura Show – featuring broadcast moralist Dr. Laura Schlessinger, whose references to homosexuality as "a biological error" caused an uproar among gays – is being bumped to the graveyard shift by CBS stations in seven big cities. They cited abysmal ratings. Only the distributor, Paramount, can cancel the show. The stations, though contracted to air the show as long as it's in production, pressured CBS to negotiate scheduling flexibility with Paramount. The show's low viewership "was hurting the stations," a CBS source said, adding that moving a show to the 2 or 4 a.m. slot generally signals its imminent demise.

In only three decades, South Korea has been able to make the transition from a resource-poor, low-income nation to a high-income economy. How did they stimulate this economic growth? How did they develop new skills and technologies? What are the lessons that can be applied for other low-income and middle-income countries?
The new open course, "Policy Lessons from South Korea's Development" offers a multi-faceted overview of this compelling story of economic growth, presented by prominent representatives of academic and research institutions in South Korea and the United States. The course will last four weeks, starting January 17, 2017 and ending February 13, 2017.
The course targets a broad audience, in particular policymakers involved in economic development, other public officials, World Bank Group staff, multilateral development practitioners, and academia. Participants in the course will have the opportunity to:
• Examine South Korea's past developmental experience and current innovative strategies, and green and smart technology initiatives to sustain economic growth.
• Understand how South Korea implemented an export-led industrial strategy with the help of a highly skilled workforce, and developed high-end manufacturing and service sectors.
• Discuss institutional and policy lessons that contributed to South Korea's performance and how they could be applied to similar effect in their own countries.
This Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) was developed by the World Bank Group's Open Learning Campus team in collaboration with the Korea Development Institute. The Ministry of Strategy and Finance, Republic of Korea provided financial support. The Open Learning Campus offers MOOCs on a variety of development topics to scale up reach and learning for a large and diverse global audience.

TCK online laundry service – now also in Basel
Life is too short for chores such as washing and ironing. Luckily there's T/CK, the online laundry service. Following a successful market launch in Zurich last autumn, the start-up company from the Mibelle Group is now being introduced in Basel and is expanding its service.
Washing, ironing and folding take up lots of valuable time, but aren't exactly a lot of fun. This is where T/CK comes to the rescue – the online laundry services from the Mibelle Group.
The company launched the service in Zurich last autumn and has already attracted 2,000 registrations and a loyal customer base of regular users. "The response was huge!" reports Nicole Di Rubbo-Ronzani, Managing Director of T/CK. "Our business thrives from the feedback of our customers. We've had a lot of positive feedback, which helps us to develop and motivates us to move forward. We are also happy to receive negative criticism, as this helps us to become even better."
Following its successful market launch, T/CK is now being introduced in Basel, Switzerland's second largest city, at the beginning of June. As Basel is the home of many major international companies, a high level of demand is expected for the online laundry service. In addition to a German language version, the website will therefore also be available in English for the first time. Another new service that will soon be available is the T/CK app. Customers will then have T/CK with them wherever they go, enabling them to place an order with the laundry service anywhere, anytime. Features include a handy text message service notifying the customer when the laundry will be delivered.
Great emphasis is also being placed on sustainability. T/CK cooperates exclusively with local partners, enabling optimal logistics routes that are ecologically and economically planned. Attention is also being paid to ensuring that the laundry service providers only use as much detergent and hot water as necessary.
T/CK couldn't be easier to use. Simply register online and place your dirty laundry in a bag. T/CK will collect the laundry from the requested location, take it to the laundry service provider and then return it to you two days later clean, ironed and smelling wonderfully fresh. On request and for an additional fee, collection is possible within 30 minutes. The convenient service takes care of the entire laundry process for customers and even saves them the trip to the laundrette or dry cleaners.
Shortly after the launch in Basel, T/CK will also be introduced in Bern. Other potential locations currently being considered are the cities of Geneva and Lausanne in western Switzerland.

Spinal Cord Injuries
Injuries to the spinal cords can result in devastating and life-altering injuries that can include impaired mobility, speech and/or vision, loss of mobility and sensation, impaired bowel and bladder function and paralysis/paraplegia and quadriplegia.
The spinal cord is the conduit through which our brain operates the functioning of our bodies. When the sensitive nerves in this area of our body are damaged, we lose the ability to work and take part in basic activities of daily living. Complete loss of sensation below the affected vertebrae is often an horrible consequence of these injuries, though any wound to the spinal cord can cause impairment. The following injuries are common causes of spinal cord damage:
- Injury to the lower back
- Herniated disc
- Damaged vertebrae
- Torn or sprained ligaments
- Fractured spine
If you or someone you know has suffered a spinal cord injury due to the negligence of others, you may be entitled to compensation for all of the aspects of your life that have been affected. Each spinal cord injury is unique and complex in its own way, and the attorneys at Kolsby Gordon have spent decades helping clients receive maximum recovery for incidents that changed their lives forever.

Madrid/ In Spain, the arrival of Pedro Sánchez at the Moncloa Palace has triggered the PSOE and placed him as the first political force with 29.9 percent of the vote, surpassing the PP and Ciudadanos as much as 9.5 points, according to the barometer of the Center for Sociological Research (CIS) in July.
According to this survey, the socialists raise almost eight points in vote estimate since the barometer done in April, while the 'populars' decrease almost four points and Ciudadanos two, both tied in vote estimate (20,4%).
Meanwhile, Podemos and its confluences also lose four points and have 15.6 percent of the support in the estimate made by the CIS.
The survey reflects the arrival of Sánchez, but it does not take into account the new leadership in the PP, since its field work took place between July 1 and July 10, when the process of the popular primaries had not yen been completed with the election of Pablo Casado.
The survey shows an increase of ERC of nine tenths, up to 3.9 percent and a drop in the PdeCat by four tenths, to 1.3 percent.
For its parts, the PNV loses only one tenth (1.2%) and Bildu remains stable with 0.6 percent of the estimated support. Coalición Canaria is left one tenth to 0.2 percent.
In a direct vote, which shows the immediate response of the survey respondent without the subsequent calculations of the CIS, the PSOE's rise is even greater and its difference with the rest of the forces is greater.
The PSOE obtained 23.9 percent of direct vote, 10.4 points more than in April, and placed 12.6 points above Ciudadanos (11.3%) and up to 13.7 points above the Popular Party ( 10.2%).
These two parties also lose direct support: Ciudadanos leave 4.8 points and PP 1.9.
Unidos Podemos and its confluences also see their direct vote decrease, which is reduced by 2.4 points to 8.9 percent. (August 2, 2018, EFE/Practica Español)

No more guilt about eating bites of cookie dough straight from the bowl! These no-bake, no-egg Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles are one of our most requested homemade treats for special occasions!
Looking for some delicious homemade food gifts this holiday season? These Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles are hugely popular with anyone who tries them because they taste just like bites of real cookie dough. Best of all, they are no-bake, egg-free and completely safe to eat!
Giving (and receiving) both sweet and savory goodies during the holidays is one of my favorite parts of the season. I love sampling cherished recipes from friends that I've never had before.
Likewise, I also love giving some of my favorite homemade treats to others and watching their delighted reactions. Hands down, no other recipe gets more ooohs and aahs than these Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles.
But wait! Is it safe to eat the raw flour in these cookie dough balls?
The FDA advises against eating raw flour because of bacteria concerns. But there is a solution to getting that raw cookie dough flavor without using raw flour.
The secret?
BAKING your flour before adding it to the recipe.
How do you bake raw flour?
It's super easy! Simple bake the amount of flour you need for your recipe at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes. Allow to cool completely before adding to the other cookie dough truffle ingredients.
The idea to bake your flour is similar to pasteurized eggs. A short spin in the oven and exposure to high heat kills any bacteria that might be lurking in your flour thus making eating spoonfuls of this cookie dough from the bowl safe.
Can you bake this edible cookie dough like regular cookies?
Unfortunately, no. This dough doesn't have any eggs or leavening agents in it, so they won't bake up like regular cookies. Stick to your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe if you're in the mood for baked cookies.
Can you freeze these chocolate covered cookie dough balls?
I don't recommend freezing the dough bites after they are dipped in chocolate, but you can easily freeze the edible dough after you've made it.
If you are short on time and can't make the truffles in one sitting, roll the dough into balls and freeze on cookie sheets.
Once they are frozen solid, throw them into a Ziploc bag and keep them in the freezer for up to one month. Simply defrost them in the refrigerator prior to dipping.
Any tips for rolling the egg-free cookie dough into balls?
Make sure your dough is well chilled before you attempt forming the dough into balls. You can make them any size you like, but since they are so rich, I prefer them on the small, easily pop in your mouth size. That's about 1-inch for all of you detail loving readers.
Tip: this cookie scoop makes creating evenly sized truffles a breeze!
Do you have any other tips for dipping these cookie dough truffles in chocolate?
I'll be honest; the dipping is a little putzy, but the finished product is totally worth it. Once you get a rhythm going, it's pretty slick. A couple suggestions to make the dipping process easier:
- Melt your chocolate in batches to keep it from hardening before you get all the dough balls coated. Don't omit the coconut oil. That little bit of oil mixed in with the chocolate helps keep it smooth longer, too.
- I find the dough balls retain their shape better when well-chilled, so only remove a few at a time when dipping. You can use two forks for this, but I like using these candy dipping tools. They make handling the truffles and shaking off the excess melted chocolate easier.
- Place the dipped truffles on parchment or wax paper immediately after dipping so they can be easily removed after the chocolate coating has set.
- Decorate them with sprinkles or mini-chips while the chocolate coating is still wet or drizzle melted white chocolate on top after they have set.
Note: Don't feel like you HAVE to dip these dough bites in chocolate. They are also tasty without their chocolate robe so feel free to leave them unadorned if you're short on time or don't really care to dip them.
How long do these cookie dough bites last?
These cookie dough truffles need to be refrigerated and will last about a week once dipped. (But they never last more than a few days at my house.)
But like I mentioned earlier, you can get a jump start on the process by making the dough in advance, rolling it into balls and freezing them until you're ready to dip.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles
Our edible, egg fee, no bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles taste just like bites of cookie dough straight from the bowl. A perfect make-ahead dessert for the holidays or a delicious homemade food gift!
Cookie dough:
- 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 stick unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Chocolate coating:
- 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
To make the cookie dough:
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Evenly spread flour on a sheet pan and bake for 5 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugars with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Mix in milk and vanilla. Add flour and salt and mix on low until combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Cover with plastic wrap and chill dough in refrigerator for about 30 minutes until firm enough to roll into 1-inch balls.
- Place rolled balls on a baking sheet lined with wax paper and place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes so they can firm up.
To dip the truffles:
- Place half of chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl and melt for 60 seconds at 50% power. Stir. Repeat for 30 seconds intervals or until chocolate is completely melted. Allow to cool slightly if very hot.
- Remove a handful of balls from the freezer at a time and dip in chocolate. Tap off any excess coating and place back on wax paper to set. (Add mini chips while the coating is still wet if desired.) Repeat with remaining chocolate and dough balls, melting the other half of the chocolate and coconut oil when needed.
- Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to a week.

Ring's End fruit and veg seller left shaken and bruised after daytime robbery
PUBLISHED: 12:22 07 January 2019
A fruit and vegetable seller was robbed of £80 cash, her passport and bank cards at the Ring's End lay-by while manning her stall, prompting a fundraising appeal.
Two people – who fled the scene - were arrested on suspicion of robbery and a vehicle was seized after the incident on Saturday January 5.
Officers from the Fenland Neighbourhood Policing Team were quickly on the scene to assist the victim and "the matter is still being investigated," said a police spokesman.
Bonny Louise, who set up a JustGiving page which has so far raised £69 towards a £100 target, said: "I'm raising money for a lovely lady that is out in all weathers selling fruit and veg as she was robbed. No matter how big or small, I know she will truly appreciate this.
"She is so overwhelmed and had a tear thinking that people would be so kind to donate."
A friend of the victim added: "She is bit shaken and bruised but appreciates everyone's well wishes."
Dozens of people have since left comments on social media and one person said: "A great shame that someone targeted that lady.
"We have bought from her and she had always seemed to be a nice lady doing a job quietly, not bothering anyone."
Another added: "John Broadhurst A great shame that someone targeted that lady, we have bought from her and she had always seemed to be a nice lady doing a job quietly, not bothering anyone.

- Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) Assistant Commissioner Darren Klemm to be new Commissioner
- Mr Klemm has spent 27 years in fire and emergency services
- Western Australian firefighting career started at Perth Fire Station
- Extensive operational experience across major fire and emergency service events
The State Government has appointed DFES Assistant Commissioner Darren Klemm as the new Commissioner of the Department of Fire and Emergency Services.
Mr Klemm has been DFES Assistant Commissioner of Metropolitan Operations since 2012.
He began his firefighting career in South Australia before moving to Western Australia, starting at the Perth Fire Station in 1993.
Mr Klemm brings a wide range of hands-on and operational experience in dealing with emergency situations throughout Western Australia including as State and Incident Controller during the Waroona, O'Sullivan and Toodyay bushfires, and Tropical Cyclone Olwyn.
Mr Klemm has served in the Goldfields/Midlands region as well as at the DFES Training Centre and has played major roles in the structural and cultural reform of training and professional development of personnel and volunteers.
Emergency Services Minister Fran Logan said Mr Klemm had significant experience in strategic reform and had been one of the key figures in responding to the 2011 Perth Hills Bushfire Inquiry.
The appointment is for an initial 18 months.
Comments attributed to Emergency Services Minister Fran Logan:
"I am looking forward to working with Assistant Commissioner Darren Klemm when he takes over as head of the Department of Fire and Emergency Services on Monday, September 18.
"It is one of the State's more challenging departments and we have a lot of work to do to strengthen our State's response to emergency situations.
"I would like to once again commend Commissioner Wayne Gregson for his part in the creation of the Department of Fire and Emergency Services.
"It was a tremendous challenge and one that he rose to with great acclaim.
"I will be saying more publicly at the Transfer of Command Ceremony about the significant changes to the State's fire and emergency services that occurred under the command of Commissioner Gregson."

Coast Guard to close St. Clair River for 40th annual Port Huron Float Down
The U.S. Coast Guard will close the St. Clair River for this year's Port Huron Float Down after 1,500 Michigan residents unexpectedly visited Canada last year.
High winds last year steered floaters to Canada. Some had no identification or a way of communicating with others. This year, the U.S. and Canadian coast guards have plans to steer floaters to safety.
The 40th Port Huron Float Down will be on Aug. 20. The event draws about 1,000 floaters but has had more than 6,000 at one event, according to the website.
St. Clair River will be closed to vessels from noon to 8 p.m. Aug. 20 and the U.S. Coast Guard will be patrolling and working with emergency responders.
The event is unsanctioned, which means there is no official sponsor, ticketing or tracking of participants.
Coast Guard Lt. Jodie Knox said the river closing will prevent people from illegally entering Canada. She warned, though, of the dangers on the water.
"That waterway is cold and a fast-moving current. When you pair that with alcohol consumption, it's a lot of bad factors," Knox said. "We do the best we can, but this amount of people, unsanctioned, stretch our resources thin."
Come prepared, she warned the participants.
"One of the biggest problems last year was nobody had any form of identification, money or communication when they ended up in Canada," Knox said. "Take a lesson from last year and come a little more prepared. Bring a rope, waterproof bag and method of steerage like a paddle, and that can be tiring so we ask people to wear a life vest."
Thomas Hoffman, 55, has participated in the Float Down since 1976. His brothers, Steve and Greg Hoffman, were among the original founders.
"Have respect for the river," Hoffman said. "It has a 7.5-knot current, many undertows and back currents. Everyone should be aware of what's going on around them. Life vests should be worn for those not familiar with these waters.
For information, visit the Float Down's website.

Our Official GNAC Prognostication
It's that time of the year when the Coaches' Poll will come out and… here is our official ranking, taking into account some outgoing/incoming transfers as well as what teams have returning, history of regeneration (or not), so on and so forth.
1. Western Washington. This decision was almost impossible, but… Kyle Impero, Ricardo Maxwell, Harris Javier, Jeff Parker, Mac Johnson. All played huge numbers of minutes. Inevitably WWU gets good transfers. That is why they're number one. They return the most, they have a history of regeneration, and their program has very high standards. They're not in Carver this year due to a remodel, but we think that may be to their advantage -they're losing 2900 seats, which may mean that every game is a sellout and their already elite home court advantage is that much more intense.
2. Western Oregon. Julian Nichols, Andy Avgi, Jordan Wiley, Devon Alexander. All great players. We truly believe that losing Lew Thomas is addition by subtraction. They've got a new coaching staff, we love Jim Shaw, they just went to the tournament and didn't lose much off that team. We were really, really, really tempted to put them at #1, because SPU demonstrated that it is totally possible to win with only four guys contributing, but… They need Devon and Jordan to prove that they can function consistently during the regular season, not just non-conference.
3. Central Washington. They return a ton of guys that played great minutes, their teamwork and chemistry survived even with the cancer that they had last year. All they need to do is figure out the scoring situation and how that's gonna distribute (which, on a team of unselfish players like these guys demonstrated last year shouldn't be a problem) and they're gonna be golden.
4. Alaska Fairbanks. Joe Slocum was out last year, Almir Hadzisehovic is quality, Ashton Edwards had good moments, Alex Duncan was functional. They need to make peace with the forward position, but if they figure that out -it's hard to play in Fairbanks, and that could make this team dynamite.
5. Seattle Pacific. Yes. We went this low and yet it in one sense it still feels too high. SPU is odd because they return almost nothing but have such a history of regeneration, a great coaching staff, a great non-conference schedule, and they brought in the pieces that they need, theoretically. Do we expect them to make the NCAA tournament? No. Will we be happy if they do? Yes.
6. MSU-Billings. They bring back Momir Gataric, Kendall Denham, Emmanuel Johnson, Jace Anderson, and Marc Matthews, all of whom saw plenty of playing time. While it's sort of an SFU scenario where they bring back a bunch of guys that couldn't win, they do boast a much better non-conference schedule, and hopefully they'll gel and find the pieces they need and make a run.
7. Alaska Anchorage. They simply lost too much, essentially only bringing back Brian McGill. We're excited for Suki Wiggs to be up there and play for them, but the Seawolves return so little of off a team that was a major disappointment. We expect it to be more of a rebuilding year, but… with transfers anything is possible.
8. Saint Martin's. For as much as they lost, they return quite a bit and bring in a great coaching staff. Have very little idea about what their incomings are like, but as is very well known around here: We love Trey, we love Tyler, we love Isaac, and Victor definitely had his moments so all hope isn't lost.
9. CU-Portland. They return pretty much nothing but do have a great culture of winning, are in a fantastic location for recruiting, we like the coaching staff, we like the program culture, we think they're in a position to do well in the GNAC in the future, they could surprise people, but this year should be a building year.
10. Simon Fraser. They're getting this spot purely because their school is much more appealing to attend and the degree is worth far more than one from NNU. They need their transfers to come in and kick booty because they don't return a ton and of what they do return is nothing to cross the border for. Sorry Michael Harper.
11. Northwest Nazarene. Yikes. Last year was so much fun with NNU taking the conference by storm, but… it doesn't change the fact that NNU isn't an appealing school to attend and thus it is very hard to recruit well and maintain a quality coaching staff there.
Are we predicting who procures bids to the conference tournament? Absolutely not. Do we think this is the order teams will likely finish? No. Does it make sense using tangible evidence and logic? For the most part. Do we think ours will look anything like the actual Coaches poll? Not necessarily. This is pre-season. We'll do another re-rank after non-conference play has concluded.
Leave your pre-season prognostication in the comments; if five people do, we'll put up an official post with the combined results.

Norway Pulls Funding to Palestinians
Over Glorification of Terror
In a stunning move, usually anti-Israel Norway has pulled funding to the Palestinians over their glorification of terrorism, the Jerusalem Post reported.
The issue came to a head due to the Palestinians' naming of a women's center after mass murdering terrorist Dalal Mughrabi, who participated in the 1978 Coastal Road massacre that killed 37 Israelis, including over a dozen children.
Borge Brende, Norway's foreign minister, said,
The Norwegian government demanded that the funds given to the Palestinians be immediately refunded.
Emmanuel Nahshon, an Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman, said of the move,
In recent months, Israel has stepped up its criticism of the Palestinian Authority for its glorification of terrorism and demanded action from the international community on the issue.

The politically correct control freaks are on the move and way beyond crazy. For example, political correct lemmings are so goofy they want to let terrorists and other illegal immigrants into America while attacking cumulus clouds in their wacky environmental movement war on the United States. Of all places, Philadelphia the city of brotherly love, where the Founding Fathers assembled at Independence Hall and declared freedom from British tyranny just a few years ago witnessed it's tyrannical mayor unleash his powerful government wrath against the Boy Scouts. He threatened to boot them out of their historical national headquarters because at the time Boy Scout leaders were still holding on to the Christian principles that were the hallmark of that organization.
As surely as the world turns the politically correct freaks continue to bring their misery into the days of our lives. The political correct freaks have invaded just about every single segment of our republic. Even when it comes to the protection of our country from enemies their politically correct influence endangers our safety. So now the U.S. Justice Department according to assistant Justice Department director John Carlin is going on the muscle against domestic terrorism.
John Carlin, head of the Department of Justice national security division announced the new Domestic Terrorism Division will focus on domestic threats. He added, "In order to ensure that we are gaining the benefits of the information and input from those eyes on the ground from around the country, and in recognition of a growing number of potential domestic terrorism matters around the United States, we have created a new position to assist with our important work in combating domestic terrorism." Carlin went on to emphasize what he called the increasing risk from homegrown terrorism and specifically white supremacy.
Carlin also pointed out "We recognize that over the past few years, more people have died in this country in attacks by domestic extremists than in attacks associated with international terrorist groups." To put it bluntly, what a crock of politically correct garbage. First of all, this is a nation of laws. If the government would enforce the laws already on the books without politically correct influences, the government would strongly deal with enemies both foreign and domestic.
There is no logical reason for the Department of Justice to take this politically correct approach. However the government has become a rouge enforcer of globalist political correct dogma at the expense of America and the unalienable rights of "We the People." Mr. Carlin said that the D.O.J. will specifically emphasize white supremacy. Big whoop Mr. Carlin, where was the Justice department after Louis Farrakhan spoke about the need for ten thousand brave men to kill? Where is the Justice Department when Americans are needlessly murdered by illegal immigrants let in by the federal government that has so-far refused to build proper fencing and effectively guard the American borders?
The politically correct freaks have taken over almost all of the far too many government departments in addition to the Department of Justice. It seems as if Department of Justice officials are gearing up to work in concert with Obama administration plans to bring over a United Nations inspired international police force that is supposed to go after domestic extremists. This kind of evil is in lock step the politically correct freak who prefer the rights of illegal immigrants, animals, trannies and muslims who hate all non-muslims above the unalienable rights of you and I.
The politically correct freaks don't believe in your right of self-protection. That is one of the reasons it was easy for president Obama to announce he wanted to politicize the gun issue. To him it was more important to drum up support for taking guns from law abiding sovereign citizens than showing gratitude to Chris Mintz, who bravely tried to save others from knuckle dragging murderer. Thanks but no-thanks to politically correct freaks, it was easy for the cowardly murderer to go after people he knew would be unarmed thanks to a politically correct work environment that discourages good people from protecting themselves.
The politically correct freaks in the form a homeowners association are so ensconced in evil and stupidity, they recently turned their bigoted ire toward Donna Morey of Hatfield Pa. Why? Because she dared to fly a small blue star flag in her upstairs bedroom window in honor of her son's military service. Ms. Morey said that she had been flying the flag for nearly a year, but recently got a call telling her that she could be running afoul of the rules, in the complex where she lives. The silly rules state that only white or off white window treatments may be visible from outside of the house. Her son Donald Morey is a major in the army who has served tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. By the way, the Blue Star Flag is traditionally displayed by families of active servicemen and women.
Last but not least, the immoral politically correct freaks also continue to show their unyielding disdain of presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson. Simply because he, like yours truly refuses to act, speak, or believe the way that the politically correct freaks (or progressives) want him to. In other words, Dr. Carson tells the truth concerning economics, abortion, American history, etc. and God forbid, he loves America and wants to see the reestablishment of proper moral instruction. By the way, a return to good moral instruction and faith in God will go a long way in helping Americans make better choices, even at the ballot box. Something the politically correct freaks don't want to happen.

Steven Universe - Stronger Then You lyrics
This is Garnet
Back together
And I'm never going down at the hands of the likes of you
Because I'm so much better
And every part of me is saying "Go get 'er.â€
The two of us ain't gonna follow your rules.
Come at me without any of your fancy tools.
Let's go, just me and you.
Let's go, just one on two.
Go ahead and try to hit me if you're able.
Can't you see that my relationship is stable?
I can see you hate the way we intermingle.
But I think you're just mad 'cause you're single.
You're not gonna stop what we've made together.
We are gonna stay like this forever.
If you break us apart we'll just come back newer.
And we'll always be twice the gem that you are.
I am made of love.
Mm mm mm mm mm.
This is who we are.
[Lyrics from: https:/lyrics.az/steven-universe/-/stronger-then-you.html]
This is who I am.
And if you think you can stop me
Then you need to think again.
'Cause I am a feeling
And I will never end.
And I won't let you hurt my planet,
I won't let you hurt my friends.
Go ahead and try to hit me if you're able.
Can't you see that my relationship is stable.
I know you think I'm not somethin' you're afraid of.
'Cause you think that you've seen what I'm made of.
But I am even more than the two of them.
Everything they care about is what I am.
I am their fury.
I am their patience.
I am a conversation.
I am made of love.
And it's stronger than you.
And it's stronger than you.
And it's stronger than you.

Telephone Conversation
The price seemed reasonable, location
Indifferent. The landlady swore she lived
Off premises. Nothing remained
But self-confession. "Madam," I warned,
"I hate a wasted journey—I am African."
Silence. Silenced transmission of
Pressurized good-breeding. Voice, when it came,
Lipstick coated, long gold rolled
Cigarette-holder pipped. Caught I was foully.
"HOW DARK?" . . . I had not misheard . . . "ARE YOU LIGHT
OR VERY DARK?" Button B, Button A.* Stench
Of rancid breath of public hide-and-speak.
Red booth. Red pillar box. Red double-tiered
Omnibus squelching tar. It was real! Shamed
By ill-mannered silence, surrender
Pushed dumbfounded to beg simplification.
Considerate she was, varying the emphasis–
"ARE YOU DARK? OR VERY LIGHT?" Revelation came.
"You mean–like plain or milk chocolate?"
Her assent was clinical, crushing in its light
Impersonality. Rapidly, wave-length adjusted,
I chose. "West African sepia"–and as afterthought,
"Down in my passport." Silence for spectroscopic
Flight of fancy, till truthfulness clanged her accent
Hard on the mouthpiece. "WHAT'S THAT?" conceding
"DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS." "Like brunette."
"THAT'S DARK, ISN'T IT?" "Not altogether.
Facially, I am brunette, but, madam, you should see
The rest of me. Palm of my hand, soles of my feet
Are a peroxide blond. Friction, caused–
Foolishly, madam–by sitting down, has turned
My bottom raven black–One moment, madam!"–sensing
Her receiver rearing on the thunderclap
About my ears–"Madam," I pleaded, "wouldn't you rather
See for yourself?"
Here you can find an interesting analysis of the poem:
Learn something about Soyinka's personal background by resorting to the following webpages. Look at the things that somehow, in your opinion, must have informed his writing style and his choices in literary genres. I would love you to look at the speech that he delivered when he received the Nobel Prize in 1986. Why was he the recipient of a Nobel Prize? Then look at the blog dedicated to him and to his works. What is there that particularly you find appealing about him and his works?
Reading his Nobel Lecture is enriching and informative. Unfortunately the "average" Westener knows very little about African history and politics. S/he knows even less about the repercussions of colonization on the African continent. Soyinka casts light on the dynamics victim/victimizer, colonized/colonizer and he invites us to see things from different perspectives, not just form the Euro-centred one. This is an extract I would like to share with you:
Those with a long political memory may recall what took place at Hola Camp, Kenya, during the Mau-Mau Liberation struggle. The British Colonial power believed that the Mau-Mau could be smashed by herding Kenyans into special camps, trying to separate the hard cases, the mere suspects and the potential recruits – oh, they had it all neatly worked out. One such camp was Hola Camp and the incident involved the death of eleven of the detainees who were simply beaten to death by camp officers and warders. […]
If, thirty years after Hola Camp, it is at all thinkable that it takes the ingenuity of the most sophisticated electronic interference to kill an African resistance fighter, the champions of racism are already admitting to themselves what they continue to deny to the world: that they, white supremacist breed, have indeed come a long way in their definition of their chosen enemy since Hola Camp. They have come an incredibly long way since Sharpeville when they shot unarmed, fleeing Africans in the back. They have come very far since 1930 when, at the first organized incident of the burning of passes, the South African blacks decided to turn Dingaan's Day, named for the defeat of the Zulu leader Dingaan, into a symbol of affirmative resistance by publicly destroying their obnoxious passes. In response to those thousands of passes burnt on Cartright Flats, the Durban police descended on the unarmed protesters killing some half dozen and wounding hundreds. They backed it up with scorched earth campaign which dispersed thousands of Africans from their normal environment, victims of imprisonment and deportation. And even that 1930 repression was a quantum leap from that earlier, spontaneous protest against the Native Pass law in 1919, when the police merely rode down the protesters on horseback, whipped and sjamboked them, chased and harried them, like stray goats and wayward cattle, from street corner to shanty lodge. Every act of racial terror, with its vastly increasing sophistication of style and escalation in human loss, is itself an acknowledgement of improved knowledge and respect for the potential of what is feared, an acknowledgement of the sharpening tempo of triumph by the victimized. […]
in the various testimonies of the white officers, it stuck out, whether overtly stated or simply through their efficient detachment from the ongoing massacre. It was this: at no time did these white overseers actually experience the human "otherness" of their victims. They clearly did not experience the reality of the victims as human beings. Animals perhaps, a noxious form of vegetable life maybe, but certainly not human.
In his works and in his speeches, Soyinka seems to constantly remind us of the necessity to educate the world in the value of a great multi-racial society. This is the reason why I decided to promote the reading of some of his works in class with you.
In the Nobel Speech, interestingly enough entitled "This past must address its present", the Nigerian playwright focuses on the relevance of questioning the way history is written and thus passed down on to future generations.
History – distorted, opportunistic renderings of history have been cleansed and restored to truthful reality, because the traducers of the history of others have discovered that the further they advanced, the more their very progress was checked and vitiated by the lacunae they had purposefully inserted in the history of others. […]
Gobineau is a notorious name, but how many students of European thought today, even among us Africans, recall that several of the most revered names in European philosophy – Hegel, Locke, Montesquieu, Hume, Voltaire – an endless list – were unabashed theorists of racial superiority and denigrators of the African history and being. As for the more prominent names among the theorists of revolution and class struggle – we will draw the curtain of extenuation on their own intellectual aberration, forgiving them a little for their vision of an end to human exploitation. […]
In any case, the purpose is not really to indict the past, but to summon it to the attention of a suicidal, anachronistic present. To say to that mutant present: you are a child of those centuries of lies, distortion and opportunism in high places, even among the holy of holies of intellectual objectivity. But the world is growing up, while you wilfully remain a child, a stubborn, self-destructive child, with certain destructive powers, but a child nevertheless. And to say to the world, to call attention to its own historic passage of lies – as yet unabandoned by some – which sustains the evil precocity of this child.
In this video clip you can hear by yourself the important role Mandela played in Soyinka's life. How was Soyinka influenced by Mandela? "Freedom is the essense of reality", do you share Soyinka's belief? What do you do to guarantee your freedom and other people's freedom? This question may sound stupid to you, but its objective is to make you reflect on the role we all play in safeguarding and guaranteeing our freedom. If only we could extend our concept of freedom and fight more actively for those who do not have it! Utopian as it may sound, I hope one day we will be able to achieve this. Soyinka believes Mandela is a man who has identified himself not only with the black race of Africa but with the notion of one humanity. Soyinka underlines that History is full of genuine freedom fighters who became monsters. The moment a leader behaves as if he believes power is a personal possession, rather than something that belongs to a collective. When he begins to suppress freedom of speech, of association and is not responsive to initiatives for change. That, of course, includes the usual things such being corrupt, having disregard for the rule of law and being unaccountable.
We read some poems taken from Soyinka's Mandela's Earth, poems that force us to open our eyes before the atrocities of Apartheid.
This pariah society that is Apartheid South Africa plays many games on human intelligence. Listen to this for example. When the whole world escalated its appeal for the release of Nelson Mandela, the South African Government blandly declared that it continued to hold Nelson Mandela for the same reasons that the Allied powers continued to hold Rudolf Hess! Now a statement like that is an obvious appeal to the love of the ridiculous in everyone. Certainly it wrung a kind of satiric poem out of me – Rudolf Hess as Nelson Mandela in blackface! What else can a writer do to protect his humanity against such egregious assaults! But yet again to equate Nelson Mandela to the archcriminal Rudolf Hess is a macabre improvement on the attitude of regarding him as sub-human. It belongs on that same scale of Apartheid's self-improvement as the ratio between Sharpeville and Von Brandis Square, that near-kind, near-considerate, almost benevolent dispersal of the first Native Press rebellion.
During the civil war in Nigeria in the middle of the 1960s he was drawn into the struggle for liberty because of his opposition to violence and terror. He was imprisoned under brutal and illegal forms in 1967 and was released over two years later – an experience that drastically affected his outlook on life and literary work. See how politically involved Soyinka has always been. He has fought harsh battles to make sure that his country could have democratic elections.
You could be interested in this wiki too:
A writer and man that fought against and denounced any form of tyranny, this is what Soyinka is in his essence. His quotation moves me deeply:
"The man dies in all who keep silent in the face of tyranny."
In novels, plays and essays, Soyinka is a sharply observant, sympathetic witness of the human experience. Imprisoned during the Nigerian civil war for allegedly colluding with the secessionist Biafran government, he became intensely critical of the Nigerian government, a stance that has earned him 40 years in exile. The Trials of Brother Jero, a satire on the Nigerian obsession with priests and prophets, is a comic masterpiece; his plays Madmen and Specialists, Kongi's Harvest and Dance of the Forests are eloquent examples of protest theatre.
In the following short interview on BBC Wole Soyinka speaks about his role as a political activist and he explains why he resents being one. Then he explains why theatre plays such an important role in his life and why it is relevant in our society. He has a very fierce sense of justice and he identifies with it, regardless of paying a high price to fight for democracy in Nigeria. "Literature can offer a vision of the possible" Soyinka says. What do you think he means by it?
On this edition of Conversations with History, UC Berkeley's Harry Kreisler talks with Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka. In an extraordinarily prolific and rich body of work including plays, novels, poems, and essays, Professor Soyinka draws on both Yoruba and western culture to exquisitely weave a subtle understanding of the tragedy and comedy of the human condition. In this discussion, Soyinka talks about the craft of writing, his work in theatre arts, human rights, and his political activism.
Wole Soyinka why, after decades on the front lines of his country's political battles, he has decided to retire from public life. Why? Listen to the podcast and take notes. Mind you the podcast contains the interview to Kishwar Desai (why she decided to make "gendercide" – the killing of girl babies – the subject of her first novel, Witness the Night) and to Jason Wallace (Out of Shadows, set in Zimbabwe). So if you want to listen to Soyinka only, you need to fastforward the audio file!
"Wherever you find yourself, don't run away from a fight," Soyinka recalls his grandfather telling him. "Your adversary will probably be bigger, he will trounce you the first time. Next time you meet him, challenge him again. He will beat you all over again. The third time I promise you this, you will either defeat him or he will run away." Soyinka has proved the point.
If you wish to learn more about South Africa and its path to freedom, you may be interested in the interviews Wole Soyinka did for the BBC. In the 1960s, Wole Soyinka's was one of the many voices raised against South Africa's Apartheid. In June 2010 he made a special journey to the country to meet some of the key writers who lived through the turbulent years of oppression and conflict. He talked to fellow Nobel Prize winner Nadine Gordimer about the new generation of South African writers, and to Nanda Soobben, the first and only Apartheid-era black political cartoonist. This is a journey through old and new South Africa by a man who truly understands the work of the African writer. It sheds fresh light on the problems of the past and the challenges of the future for the society that now makes up the rainbow nation.

Full Coverage Spray and Drainage System for Orientation-independent Removal of High Heat Flux
Timothy Shedd, Adam Pautsch
The Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) is seeking commercial partners interested in developing an improved spray cooling system and method for cooling electronic circuitry.
OVERVIEWRemoval of heat from electronic circuitry is one of the limiting factors in the design and performance of most computer systems. One current method of heat removal involves using a cone-shaped spray to deliver a thin layer of a dielectric fluid directly onto computer chips and then boiling off some fraction of the liquid; however, the limits of these systems to effectively remove heat have been reached.
THE INVENTIONUW-Madison researchers have developed an improved spray cooling system and method for cooling electronic circuitry in high-performance computers and other similar systems. The method involves directing a spray of cooling fluid onto the surface of a chip at an angle. The cooling fluid then flows in one direction along the circuitry toward the drainage point(s). Directing the spray along the chip with high momentum allows the system to be portable, because a uniform layer of coolant is maintained even when the orientation of the system varies. The cooling fluid is efficiently delivered by several fan-shaped sprays that are positioned to cover the entire heated surface without allowing interaction between the spray plumes that could otherwise lead to coolant buildup and poor heat transfer.
- Provides enhanced spray cooling performance for the next generation of computers
- Potentially valuable for the cooling of laser arrays and high-powered weaponry, in cryogenic devices, and as an aid to laser-assisted surgical procedures
- Potentially useful in almost any type of heat exchanger
- Maintains a thin, uniform layer of coolant and adequate coolant drainage despite variations in the orientation of the system being cooled
- Avoids creating areas where coolant sprays from different nozzles interact, thus minimizing coolant buildup, poor heat transfer, and possible circuit failure
- Uses significantly less pressure, energy, and fluid volume than conventional spray nozzles
- May be implemented in an otherwise conventional evaporative cooling system
- Any liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger, such as those used in supermarket or water chilling applications, can be made much smaller using this system, saving both space and money
STAGE OF DEVELOPMENTThe development of this technology was supported by WARF Accelerator. WARF Accelerator selects WARF's most commercially promising technologies and provides expert assistance and funding to enable achievement of commercially significant milestones. WARF believes that these technologies are especially attractive opportunities for licensing.

Optimal Vitamin D Level Testing
The harshness of the Australian sun is well known, and our population tends to split between bathing in the sun for hours on end, or covering ourselves completely in an effort to avoid sunburn and skin cancer.
Though abstinence from the sun may help to prevent cancer of the skin (although there is some conflicting evidence), deficiency of vitamin D, which is created in the body from UVB rays can result in many serious illnesses and diseases, including hypertension, multiple sclerosis, stroke, heart attacks and cancer. Getting enough Vitamin D is crucial for your health.
Are you getting enough vitamin D everyday?
Of the five types of Vitamin D, D3 is crucial for our health.
Vitamin D3 is made in the skin when a type of cholesterol contained in our outer body fat reacts with UVB ultraviolet light.
Vitamin D is a prohormone, meaning that it has no hormone activity itself, but is converted to the active hormone 25-hydroxyvitamin D through a tightly regulated body process. Too much of the
25-hydroxyvitamin D can create havoc with our hormonal systems.
Generally, adequate amounts of Vitamin D3 can be made in the skin after only ten to fifteen minutes of sun exposure at least 2-3 times per week on the face, arms, hands, optic fibres in the eyes or back without sunscreen. However, season, geographic latitude, time of day, cloud cover, skin cover, skin colour, fog and sunscreen greatly affect UV ray absorption and vitamin D synthesis.
A critical determinant of Vitamin D production in the skin is the presence and concentration of melanin. Melanin acts as a 'light filter' in the skin. The higher the concentration of melanin in the skin is related to the ability of UVB light to penetrate the skin and reach synthesis stage. Therefore, individuals with higher skin melatonin content will simply require more time in sunlight to produce the same amount of vitamin D as individuals with lower melanin content.
Though Vitamin D is relatively 'easy' to get, civilisation and technology has allowed us to work, exercise and relax indoors. The more sedentary we are, the more we stay indoors and the more we shy away from the sun – the worse this problem is going to get.
Deficiency of Vitamin D can result from a number of factors; inadequate intake and exposure to UVB light, disorders that limit Vitamin D absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, conditions that
impair the synthesis of Vitamin D and body characteristics like skin colour and body fat.
Vitamin D can be linked to an increased susceptibility to a range of common and misdiagnosed conditions, such as hypertension, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, autoimmune diseases, memory loss, stroke,heart attacks and cancer.
Vitamin D is also known for its role in 'seasonal affective disorder' – a condition also known as 'winter blues' that affects mood and promotes depression in people who have normal mental health throughout most of the year.
A lack of sun exposure, and therefore vitamin D during the winter period results in these depressive moods, showing how vitamin D deficiency can adversely affect our mental health.
Vitamin D is also known for its immunomodulatory functions – its beneficial effects for the normalisation and health of the immune system. The vitamin D hormones, calcitriol, has been found to induce death of cancer cells, with many studies revealing it's positive benefits. Vitamin D is involved in normal cell growth and maturation, helping to prevent cell deformities and overgrowth.
The most prominent role of Vitamin D is to maintain blood calcium levels within an acceptable range. Vitamin D stimulates intestinal calcium absorption and re-absorption in the kidneys, and regulates the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus which are vital for many body functions, including normal growth and development of bones and teeth.
Vitamin D is involved in the regulation of the immune system and in the secretion of insulin by the pancreas, aiding in the regulation of blood sugar.
Vitamin D is crucial for many processes in the body and for the prevention of illness and disease. A case of vitamin D deficiency is often overlooked for a more complex diagnosis. Vitamin D testing is
important for a large percentage of Australians to enhance health and disease prevention.
