Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Influence On Twentieth Century Detective Literature There are many different books, in many different genres. There are horror novels, love stories, suspenseful books, and detective stories. The detective story's evolution has been a long and eventful process. The man responsible for the biggest leap in the detective story was Arthur Conan Doyle.
He gave the world Sherlock Holmes, who could be considered the greatest investigator in detective story history.Holmes was unique in detective story history. .. The reader's interest is captivated not only by the detective's unique methods, but to perhaps to even a greater degree by the singular personality of this remarkable man (Sayers 10). Doyle also gave the world Dr.

Watson, Holmes' sidekick.Other authors could have written about this pair, but none could match Doyle. Doyle was a master storyteller (Snow, 8). Without Doyle the detective story would never have been what it is now. Cresterton states, With Conan Doyle, the detective story at last came to full fruition (Cresterton, 170). This statement is true.
All detective stories after Doyle's had some of the aspects of his stories. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle shaped the way detective stories were written in the twentieth century by using a third person limited perspective, using a structured plot line, and by having Holmes investigate crimes other than murder. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was the first detective story author to make good use of the third person limited perspective. Holmes' sidekick Watson is a smart man, but he could not compare to the brilliance of Holmes. When Holmes was figuring out a mystery, he often left Watson very confused. Holmes would do things that, to Watson, would make no sense.
At the end of the story, however, Watson would see the logic behind Holmes' actions. This quote is Watson thinking about the case he and Holmes were working on. Here I had heard what he had heard, I had seen what he had seen, and yet from his words it was evident that he saw clearly not only what happened, but what was about to happen, while to me the whole business was still confused and grotesque (Doyle, 35). This displays Watson's confusion over the case of The Red-Headed League. In The Red-Headed League, the case is so bizarre that most of the readers, like Watson, don't have a clue as to what is going on.It is comforting to know that Watson is as confused as the readers are. In The Red-Headed League there is a point in the story where Holmes and Watson walk up to the pawn shop and talk to Mr.
Wilson's assistant. After he shuts the door Watson asks Holmes why he wanted to see the assistant. Holmes says that he wanted to see the knees of the assistants trousers (Doyle, 34).It is obvious by Watson's reaction that he has know idea why Holmes wanted to see the assistants knees. At the same time the readers are left pondering that very question. The whole scene in front of the pawnshop also display another way that Doyle uses the third person limited perspective well.
At that point in the story Holmes has pretty much figured out what happened. By telling Watson where he was looking, Holmes was dropping a hint to Watson to see if he could figure out what Holmes already had.During his stories Doyle would leave hints as to who committed the crime. This made the story more interesting for the readers. Another way Doyle uses Holmes in his stories is as a teacher to Watson. In the very beginning of A Scandal in Bohemia Holmes deduces, from a quick glance, that Watson had gotten wet lately, and had a clumsy servant girl. He deduced all of this by merely looking at Watson's shoes.
He then asked Watson how many steps led up to his apartment. Watson could not say, even though he had walked up those stairs countless times (Doyle, 12). This is one of the examples of Holmes teaching Watson about observation. The only way that Holmes' observations make sense in the story is if the story has a structured plot line. Doyle made all of Holmes' stories have plots that follow a logical structure.You have reasoned it out beautifully..It is so long a chain, and yet every link rings true (Doyle 40).
In the story Holmes figured out that Mr. Wilson's assistant was using his pawn shop to tunnel his way into a nearby bank and rob it. Holmes figured out all of this just by looking at the assistants pants and pounding his walking stick in front of the pawn shop (Doyle 26-40). If Holmes had not done this during the story, both Watson and the readers would be left having no idea as to how Holmes figured out who committed the felony.By putting clues into the story, Doyle distanced him self from the other detective story writers of the time. In the story A Scandal in Bohemia Holmes did not rely as much on his powers of deduction, as he did in The Red-Headed League.
Instead Holmes relied more on good old fashioned detective legwork. He also had to rely on his brilliance. In the story the king told Holmes that Irene Adler was blackmailing him and that he needed the pictures that she was blackmailing him with.Holmes went to Irene Adler's home and followed her to a church. There she and her boyfriend got married. Holmes later asked Watson to help him figure out where she was hiding the pictures.
He asked Watson to throw a smoke bomb into her house and he would to the rest (Doyle 11-25). When a woman thinks her house is on fire, her instinct is at once to rush to the thing she values most (Doyle 22).He used this to find where Mrs.
Adler was hiding the pictures. In both of these stories Doyle used logical plot lines in which the reader could guess as to who committed the crime. This made detective stories much more interesting. Another way Doyle made his stories more interesting was by focusing on crimes other than murder.Some of the most interesting (of Holmes' stories) do not treat of crime in the legal sense at all, but with human perplexities outside the scope of the law (Symons 20). This is most aptly displayed in The Red-Headed League. In this story Holmes says As far as I have heard, it is impossible for me to say whether the present case is an instance of crime or not, but the course of events is among the most singular that I have listened to (Doyle 27).
This makes the story a lot more interesting because if the crime was mundane, it would have been a lot easier for Holmes to figure out who the criminal was. That's why Doyle used more structured plot lines then the rest of the detective stories of the time.Those stories were more mundane and unexciting, and that is one reason that Doyle's stories stood out above the rest. In the story A Scandal in Bohemia it was obvious that there was actually being a crime committed, and that crime was blackmail. While blackmail is a serious crime, it is not considered as severe as murder. This time, however, it was very severe because it involved the King of Bohemia.
This was another way that Doyle interested the readers.He would use uncommon crimes in his stories, and have them involve high ranking officials. In A Scandal in Bohemia the King was being blackmailed by a woman with whom he had an affair with many years earlier. She had pictures of them together, and the King hired Holmes to retrieve those pictures (Doyle 11-25). This is one of the more unusual setups that Doyle has created. These unusual setups are one of the many things that has made Doyle one of the most beloved authors of all time.
Detective stories today would be nothing without Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's influence.There is no doubt that he shaped the way detective stories have been written in the twentieth century. As Murch said, ..(Sherlock Holmes) became the ancestor of almost all the outstanding twentieth-century detective heroes in English fiction (Murch 167). All detective heroes in the twentieth century have some aspect of Sherlock Holmes in them. With Doyle, the detective story form was nearly perfected.
He Helped bring the detective story more respect as actual literature.Without Sir Arthur Conan Doyle the detective story would still be considered a lower form of literature and would be an unimportant part of the literary world. Bibliography Cresterton, G.

AMD Athlon II X2 240e and X3 435 Mainstream CPUs
Low-Res Gaming: Crysis
For our next set of tests, we moved on to some in-game benchmarking with Crysis. When testing processors with Crysis, we drop the resolution to 800 x 600, and reduce all of the in-game graphical options to their minimum values in order to isolate CPU and memory performance as much as possible. However, the in-game effects, which control the level of detail for the games' physics engines and particle systems, are left at their maximum values, since these actually do place some load on the CPU rather than GPU. All platforms in this test were equipped with a NVIDIA GTX 280 to eliminate the graphics card as a possible bottleneck, in order to isolate the CPU's performance as much as possible.
With only two cores running at 2.8GHz, the Athlon II X2 240e turned in the slowest framerate of the group. The tri-core 435 fared better and ran with the middle of the pack, with a score of 117.48 fps. Though not impressive, it is satisfying to see these budget processors hang with more expensive models.

Oral contraceptives linked with increased Risk of Ischemic Stroke
Ischemic strokes, which account for about 85 percent of all strokes, are caused by blood clots while hemorrhagic strokes are caused by bleeding in the brain. Dr.Sarkis Morales-Vidal and associates from Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine conducted a study to find out any link of Birth control pills with the risk of stroke.The researchers have found out that Oral contraceptives increase the risk of ischemic stroke but not of hemorrhagic strokes. This risk is very small among women who do not have other stroke risk factors. Their comprehensive review has appeared in the journal MedLink Neurology.
Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain why oral contraceptives increase stroke risk, including by raising blood pressure and by making blood hypercoagulable (more likely to clot).
When prescribing hormonal contraceptives, physicians should consider the type and dose of estrogen or progestin and route of administration (such as pill or patch). "The ideal drug is one with the lowest estrogen and progestin doses that will be effective in preventing pregnancy while minimizing adverse effects," Drs. Morales and Biller wrote.
For healthy young women without any stroke risk factors, the stroke risk associated with oral contraceptives is very small.
"However, in women with other stroke risk factors, the risk seems higher and, in most cases, oral contraceptive use should be discouraged," Drs. Morales and Biller wrote. These risk factors include high blood pressure, cigarette smoking and migraine headaches, especially migraines with sensory disturbances called aura (such as flashes of light and tingling in the hands or face).
However, women may not always be adequately screened. One previous study found that, among women with one or more stroke risk factors, only 15 percent recalled being advised not to start oral contraceptives and only 36 percent remembered being told to stop. Fifteen percent of women were still taking oral contraceptives despite being told to discontinue. These findings highlight the need to improve physician counseling and patient compliance, Drs. Morales and Biller wrote.
Their report is titled "Hormonal Contraception and Stroke." It is an update of a report originally published in Medlink Neurology in 2003.
Dr. Morales is an associate professor and Dr. Biller is a professor and chair of the Department of Neurology of Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine.

TALKS over a potential devolution deal for Cumbria are continuing despite the coronavirus pandemic.
The leaders of the county's six district councils and Cumbria County Council are set to hold a virtual meeting with Conservative MP Simon Clarke, the minister for regional growth and local government, soon to discuss the Government's position.
Council leaders met then-Northern Powerhouse minister Jake Berry in February, when it was mooted that the county could see an elected mayor take charge with two unitary authorities underneath them, although the detail of what any new deal could look like is yet to be thrashed out.
Mike Starkie, the elected mayor of Copeland Council, has made no secret of his support for the idea and believes council leaders are now much more receptive to the prospect than they were when he was first elected five years ago.
"This should have been done three years ago but we missed the opportunity and we can't afford to do it again," he said.
"I think everybody is realising it is going to get more and more difficult; coronavirus has put increasing pressure on all of the councils and finances are going to drive us where common sense should have taken us."
Mr Starkie believes that a deal could even be completed in time for a new mayor for Cumbria to be elected next May.
"The Government got elected on this levelling up agenda and real investment in the north," he added.
"We need an elected mayor for Cumbria to get that voice at the table and make sure that we don't miss out.
"With an elected mayor, councils have accountability, responsibility and transparency and we would have a clear, articulated plan for Cumbria."
Councillor John Mallinson, leader of Carlisle City Council, is also in favour of pursuing a deal which would hand Cumbria more autonomy.
And he believes that, although leaders may disagree on how a new structure should look, the principle of a more "streamlined" approach should be welcomed.
He said: "There seems to be a view that its time has come.
"Initially we thought the coronavirus pandemic might delay things but it seems as though it might give it fresh impetus."

I'm on day 4 of Sertraline and apart from feeling tired and finding it hard to get out of bed on a morning, I feel absolutely fine. Is this usual?? I guess I equate few symptoms with ineffectiveness. I'm thankful it's been easy so far, hopefully it'll stay this way and then they'll work.

3 Places to Find the Best Free Apps
By Adam Harvey
Since I had so much fun writing my last post about AppsGoneFree, I thought I'd follow up with a quick look at a few other places to find great free apps. After all, there are about 750,000 live apps on iTunes and it gets harder and harder every day to find what you need. I know it frustrates me, and it probably frustrates you too.
The good news is certain websites and apps are specifically designed to narrow your choices and help you find quality apps that are free or on sale for a limited time.
Here are some of the best I found:

Foamers Six Pints None The Wiser
Published Feb 01, 2002Ska punk in the last few years can mostly be placed into two categories: good and awful. The Foamers are lucky to be included in the former category. This record is packed with a rough and ready energy reminiscent of Operation Ivy and the first Specials album. These 14 songs are filled with enough "Oi, Ois" and "Whoa, Whoas" to get you bouncing around your room, with horns and organ put to good use on a few tracks. They can also pull off goofy songs ("I Want Beer") and more serious ones ("Authority") with equal sincerity. Warning: listening to this can lead to steadily increasing drunkenness. (Tent City)

Sydney based Dreams2live4, a not-for-profit organisation that brings the dreams of patients living with metastatic cancer to life, is looking for a very special and unique person to fill some big shoes – a Dream Maker.
The charity began the search for their next Dream Maker after being awarded a $30,000 Jetstar Flying Start grant which includes $15,000 in cash and $15,000 worth of Jetstar travel.
A Dream Maker at Dreams2live4 is a unique person dedicated to helping patients identify and fulfil their dreams.
Along with searching for and training their next Dream Maker, the cash component of the grant will go towards fulfilling the dreams of cancer sufferers while the flights will be used to fly patients across the Jetstar network to experience their dreams. The flights will also assist the charity to take their work to more locations around the country by flying Dreams2live4 team members to hospitals to meet with new Dreamers.
Dreams2live4 Chief Executive Officer, Louise Mahoney runs the charity which was initially set up by her sister, Annie Robinson in 2008.
'This year alone, we estimate we will work with more than 300 patients facing this life threatening disease. Thanks to the Jetstar Flying Start grant, we will now be able to reach more patients and their families, giving them something to strive, hope and live for. Many of our dreams involve travel including family holidays, reunions and the chance to spend precious time with those they love far from hospitals wards and waiting rooms. We're so excited to now be able to offer more flights as part of our services," said Louise.
'Many of our dreams involve travel so we're excited to now be able to offer more flights as part of our services."
Jetstar Australia and New Zealand Chief Executive Officer, Dean Salter was part of the judging panel which awarded the grant and was impressed with the vision of the organisation.
'Every day Jetstar flies thousands of people, helping unite family and friends and creating special travel experiences and we're very happy to be able to share this with the Dreams2live4 team," Mr Salter said.
'We're proud to help Dreams2live4 grow their services and help touch the lives of so many Australian families."
Applications for the next Jetstar Flying Start grant are now open to not-for-profit community groups in SA & WA. Organisations can apply between 1st October - 31st December. Full details are available at http://www.jetstar.com/au/en/flyingstart
To donate or to find out more about Dreams2Live4 visit http://dreams2live4.org.au/
Dreams2live4 is a visionary program that helps identify and implement the dreams of patients living with metastatic cancer - any cancer that has spread, including aggressive brain cancer, relapsed lymphoma and relapsed leukemia.
Dreams2live4 was founded by metastatic cancer sufferer, Annie Robinson, in 2008, as a charitable program of The Prince of Wales Hospital Foundation. Annie's personal experience gave her a unique insight into the importance of treating the soul as well as the disease.
This year, Dreams2live4 became a nationally registered charity and is now run by Annie's sister Louise Mahoney in Roseville, NSW.
This year their small and dedicated team will work with more than 300 patients facing this life threatening disease. Currently, there is a team of 10 committee members working for the organisation.

Question: How would you describe your role as a Dream Maker?
Louise Mahoney: My role as Dream Maker is to work with our dreamers to develop and realise their dream. Sometimes it's a matter of empowering them to have the confidence to ask for something.
Time and time again I have seen an incredible difference in the mindset of patients and families when they have a dream fulfilled. It constantly amazes me.
Staff members refer patients to me. That can be anyone - nurses, social worker or doctors. They could also be self-referred or by family and friends.
I take details from the patient, sometimes patients know immediately what their dream is, but normally they talk about it with family and friends which is a large part of the joy of the dream because it takes their mind away from the day to day of their illness and gives them something else to talk about.
Once the decision is made the dream team gets to work, not only making the dream come true but also enhancing it in anyway we can.
Question: Can you tell us about Dreams2live4?
Louise Mahoney: Dream2Live4 makes dreams come true for adult patients who have metastatic cancer, relapsed lymphoma and leukaemia and brain cancer.
Everyone who works with Dream2Live4 has a story of when they became hooked on the dreams concept, mine was when I was with my sister Annie in the oncology day centre at Prince of Wales Hospital, sitting with her while she was having treatment following a metastatic cancer diagnosis. I thought at the time, why am I here? She was spending her time walking around talking to all the other patients. She finally came back and sat down with me and said, 'Now Louise, they will go home and think about their dreams, not their results appointment and scans."
Annie saw a need with these patients to assist in making their dream come true, so with Professor Michael Friedlander and a group of her friends, Annie came up with the concept of Dreams2Live4, which became a program at the Prince of Wales Hospital.
Sadly Annie passed away in 2009 but not before ensuring that the charity she worked so hard to establish continued to grow. She asked me to continue her work.
We worked until September 2015 as a program at the Prince of Wales Hospital, working with 100 new referrals a year. I am thrilled to say that, as of Sept 1st 2015, Dreams2Live4 has become a national Charity and we are now able to make dreams come true Australia wide for adult patients who fit our criteria.
Question: What inspired the creation of Dreams2live4?
Louise Mahoney: From being a family member of a cancer patient and particularly later on in Annie's illness, I saw firsthand what a difference a dream makes to a patient and their family. The excitement and joy she and we got out of seeing her achieve her dream is a memory that brings all of my family and friends great joy still and inspires me every day in my work at Dreams2Live4.
Annie's dream was not for the faint hearted. She dreamt of performing as a backup singer for a band in front of thousands of people. She achieved this at the Wollongong Entertainment Centre singing with Human Nature in front of a large crowd, family and friends.
We work with patients from around the age of 17 years up. There is no one dream – they come in all shapes and forms.
Question: How has the Jetstar Flying Start program supported Dreams2live4, recently?
Louise Mahoney: The Jetstar Flying Start grant – which is $30,000, comprising of $15,000 cash and $15,000 worth of travel with Jetstar – will make a huge difference in helping Dreams2Live4 work with more patients than ever before.
With the cash component we are able to employ a second Dream Maker, to support me in my work and the $15,000 of flights will be used to fly patients around Australia to fulfill their dreams.
Question: Are you able to share with us a dream a patient recently had granted?
Louise Mahoney: We are constantly helping patients to identify and fulfill their dreams, and work with anyone around the age of 17 years up. There is no one dream – they come in all shapes and forms.
An 18-year-old young man will dream to meet his sporting heroes, or a V8 super car race driver or the Australian Cricket team. He will want to go out on the pitch, talk to the team, do the pitch analysis with the Chanel 9 commentary team and sit in a private box with five of his friends.
A young, 20-year-old women will want to just be like other 20 year-olds and do normal things, like go on a girls' weekend, do some shopping and see a Justin Timberlake concert.
30-year-old mums and dads will want to make memories with their children. Happy memories that don't include hospitals wards and treatment rooms. While some others will want to do adventurous things, such as deep sea fishing, hot air ballooning, V8 supercar hot laps, or camel riding in Broome.
I once had a 50-year-old women who said to me, 'I want a man for a day", so I asked 'What would that involve?" and she said, 'I want to sit on my back veranda and say - move that pot, dig that hole, move that rubbish," and the list went on!
I have recently had a 70-year-old man who lived most of his life in central QLD and NT and always dreamt of owning an RM Williams outfit; jeans, boots, shoes, belt, the whole deal. He said, 'I always look the other way when I go past the shop." So he was thrilled to be able walk into an RM Williams store and choose want he wanted.
Question: How can Australians support Dreams2live4?
Louise Mahoney: You can visit our website (www.dreams2live4.org.au) to make a donation, contact us about volunteering or organise a fundraising event.
Question: Can you tell us about the search for the next Dream Maker, to work alongside you?
Louise Mahoney: Thanks to the Jetstar Flying Start grant, we're very excited to be able to now employ a second Dream Maker. We are looking for someone with a palliative care background, who can understand the disease process and the ongoing commitments and restrictions of a patient with cancer. We need someone that understands the medical system and has good communication skills to liaise with medical staff, patient and families. It's also really important that this person is empathetic yet confident to ask for and receive assistance to fulfill a dream.

Top 5 Crazy Cafes Brampton Needs
Brampton's indie cafe scene is small but mighty, with cafes that offer everything from excellent brews to tasty bagels to delicious bubble tea. When it comes to the coffee scene, the city has a decent scope of offerings.
That said, the world (and even just Toronto) has a lot in the way of really wild cafes that stand out because they're, well, crazy.
Or at least some are.
Here's a look at some crazy nearby cafe concepts that we might want to consider co-opting, just because most people are into cats, a lot are into tiny teddies and some are very, very into Japanese French maids.
If you travel east to Toronto, you'll find Uncle Tetsu's Japanese Angel Cafe. There's no other way to say it, the concept--exported from Japan and watered down a little for the typical North American palate--is straight up bizarre and full of fetishistic sexual undertones. While the Canadian incarnation is still a little...unique, it's more fun than anything else and involves French maid outfits and live musical routines. Uncle Tetsu's particular brand of cafe also includes its very famous cheesecake, so it would be nice if Brampton residents could get an opportunity to sample the brand's spongy wares closer to home and enjoy a little live J-Pop while they're at it.
This concept is straight up adorable and ideal for anyone who wants to enjoy a latte while keeping their children entertained. It's also a pretty cutesy date idea. Basically, a strange cafe called Teddy Story, a Thailand export, just set up shop in Toronto and is inviting guests to enjoy coffee and snacks and its collection of pretty precious Teddy House teddy bears. If you've ever wanted to enjoy some dessert while selecting an outfit (and perhaps even some accessories) for a teddy, this place might appeal to you. Perhaps one would do well in the Bramalea City Centre area in the city, as it's basically a quainter Build-a-Bear with food and beverage.
2) A Sizeable Board Game Cafe
If you have a hankering for beverages and Cards Against Humanity expansion packs, you can visit Snakes and Lattes in TO and get a tasty vanilla soy latte (or a beer, if that's what you're in the mood for), or Studio89 in Mississauga for some vegan treats and social justice events with your game of Risk. But let's be honest, ever since House of Cards left, there has been a board game cafe-sized hole in our hearts. Brampton could use a cafe/bar that offers a sizeable and varied game selection. I'm not personally that into board games, but I have a few favourites and games are almost always better when accompanied by cocktails. A walkable area like downtown Brampton, or even Bramalea City Centre would be perfect for a Scattegories and coffee hotspot.
1) A Cat Cafe
We need one of these. Cat cafes are common in Asia and basically fuse friendly domestic cats and cafe-style offerings. Toronto has a small selection of cat cafes and they typically separate the kitties from eating/drinking customers for sanitation purposes. While North American cat cafes may not be quite as authentic as their Asian counterparts, they offer customers the opportunity to interact (and potentially adopt) cats who need a little TLC. Although the cafes are popular because they're novel and cute, they can also connect transient felines with families who can give them forever homes. Also, all coffee tastes better when there's an adorable animal nearby.

Community on Yoga, Meditation, Ayurveda and Spirituality
I find myself wishing I could do yoga more than I do. Spiritually, it allows me to feel vibrant inside, allowing my meditation to inspire before my day or after my day depending when I go to work. How does one create their life to fulfill in life? There are many ways that I would like to, however, working a full time management position, either early evening, mid shifts, or evening (toward overnight) shies me away from the things that I feel my body needs more than anything. Maybe the holidays make things more hectic, but I sure would like to learn of balance in the life of others here.....

Ah, sweet summertime! I'm not one for the heat, but I sure love what it does for my garden. Right about this time every year, I start pulling in buckets of cherry tomatoes, zucchini and arm fulls of basil.
I don't plant much more than that since it's a short trip to the farmers market and it saves me a lot of work for what can often be too little output. Besides, it's always more fun to let someone else do the hard work and so I can enjoy a little extra time hanging around the pool and reading.
Stewed summer vegetables are a staple of the season. Growing up, my mom always had a pot of some combination stewing away on the back burner of the stove. My favorites included okra and corn, and of course, string beans and potatoes seasoned with thick chunks of ham and cayenne pepper.
The beauty of a summer succotash is that it makes use of a surplus of produce and makes for a satisfying meal served with steamed rice and fresh herbs. Why not stroll your garden and stew a pot up for yourself?
Stewed Cherry Tomatoes with Corn, Zucchini and Basil
3 cups of cherry tomatoes
3 small zucchini, cut into half moons
1 large red onion
2 cloves of garlic, finely minced
2 cups of fresh corn cut from 3 freshly shucked ears
1 cup of basil; finely minced (leave a few whole leaves for garnish)
3 tablespoons freshly minced oregano
olive oil
1 cup of water
red pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons of butter
1. Pour a think layer of olive oil into the bottom of a cast iron skillet and bring to temperature.
2. Add the cherry tomatoes and let sizzle and cook until the skins pop and they 'melt'.
3. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft and translucent; add the red pepper flakes.
4. Stir in the corn and cook until tender.
5. Add the zucchini and a cup of water; stew until the zucchini is soft, but still has a little bite.
6. Add the butter and fresh herbs and cook until the herbs are soft and cooked in; add salt and pepper to taste.
7. Serve over hot cooked rice with handfuls of minced herbs and hot sauce.

Learning Lab
The Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs held the Grand Opening of their refurbished Learning Lab on Thursday, March 14, 2019. This was a happy day for the Kelowna Foundation team, as we celebrated the successful completion of a major initiative that had many moving parts and stages to get to this exciting point.
The Kelowna branch had a history of involvement with the lab years ago, and in 2017, the Foundation backyard team felt it was time to review the Club's needs to see where we might be able to help bring the computers up to date. Two of our IT experts, John Cleveland and Dillan Collins, went to assess the situation, only to discover that the lab's usability was hindered by its layout and furnishings.
"The room had raised platforms that were difficult to manoeuvre around," John reported back to the team. "Previously donated chairs were so heavy, they could barely be moved."
Discovering that the room was very challenging on so many levels and had become almost redundant for practical use, the team talked about the many ways we could contribute to its upgrade. It was unanimously resolved to make significant improvements to the entire functionality by starting from the ground up.
In October 2017, John had the opportunity to present the Kelowna team's plans for upgrades to the Foundation Board, and he led the team in forging forward to get these plans implemented.
In spring 2018, our volunteers demolished the existing platforms to prepare for professionals to go in and create a safer and more streamlined space for the youth. A number of delays occurred throughout the process, but by September, the newly refurbished computer lab was complete.
The once complex and difficult-to-use computer lab was revealed at the Grand Opening as a vibrant, cheerful, warm and welcoming space that is now optimized for learning.
Lianna Michaylow, Director of Early Years Programs at the Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs, welcomed all of the guests and thanked everyone involved in the project, many of whom were in attendance. John Cleveland also shared some thoughts about the project.
The newly re-dedicated room has 12 computers, a SMART board, work tables, ergonomic chairs, storage cupboards, and a comfortable breakout area. The children attending the Grand Opening were eager for the opportunity to jump on the computers, only tearing themselves away briefly for some celebratory cake!

The Boys and Girls Club has been using the space for organized programs, and will now be opening it up to further classes, study groups, meetings, and related events.
Several Urban Systems employees at the Kelowna branch are planning to volunteer their time to tutor youth in coding and various software programs.

In the last week of the term, we will be preparing the students so we can remember the events of Holy Week as a school, in particular The Stations of the Cross. Each class has been given a station of the cross to represent. They will use their classroom door as the canvas on which they will present the events that occurred at that station, as well as presenting a reflection; for us to think about the journey Jesus took before his crucifixion. Each class will have their door completed by this Wednesday, and we invite parents to walk the stations on Thursday, 30th March and Friday, 31st March morning between 8.40am (when the doors open) and 9.00am, and again on Thursday evening from 3.25pm (when the gates open) till 3.45pm (when the gates are locked). Next Friday, 31st March, we will come together as a school at 9.15am in the Church, to reflect upon the term and remember the events of Holy Week.

VANCOUVER — Former Liberal cabinet minister Jody Wilson-Raybould says her victory as an Independent candidate sends a message to Ottawa about the need for change in the country's politics.
Wilson-Raybould will be the only Independent in the House of Commons after she was ousted from the Liberal party over the SNC-Lavalin scandal.
"We accomplished showing Ottawa, showing our political process, that independent, strong voices matter and that we can do politics differently," she said to roars of applause in her victory speech.
Wilson-Raybould said she'll use her Vancouver Granville seat to fight for better climate change policy, electoral reform and "true reconciliation" with Indigenous Peoples.
The federal campaign was plagued by divisive politics but Vancouver Granville voters have shown there's a different way, she said.
"That is not the type of politics we need to address these issues. We need to collaborate, we need to come together, we need to, again, work across party lines to address these big issues and I know that we can do it."
Wilson-Raybould quit Justin Trudeau's cabinet after she accused the prime minister and his office of inappropriately pressuring her as the attorney general to intervene in the criminal prosecution of Quebec engineering giant SNC-Lavalin on corruption charges.
Wilson-Raybould's decision to leave cabinet was followed by her colleague Jane Philpott, who failed in her attempt to win as an Independent in the Ontario riding of Markham-Stouffville. The two politicians supported one another at events throughout the campaign.
Trudeau eventually kicked both women out of the Liberal caucus and many of their supporters saw it as vindication when the federal ethics commissioner concluded that Trudeau violated the Conflict of Interest Act by improperly pressuring Wilson-Raybould to stop the prosecution of SNC-Lavalin.
After trailing in early results, dozens of supporters erupted in cheers when Wilson-Raybould pulled into first place ahead of her closest challengers, Conservative Zach Segal and Liberal Taleeb Noormohamed.
They chanted "Jody! Jody!" each time more results came in, solidifying her position after what was initially a tight three-way race.
"That was a nail-biter, yes?" Wilson-Raybould said after taking the stage.
Campaign volunteers said they weren't surprised it was close.
Jennifer Canas said she heard some hesitation from voters when door knocking during the campaign.
"People would ask about, 'Well, you know, she's an Independent.' I would say, 'Well, you know, she has a powerful voice,' " she said. "And they listened. It worked."
But in Markham-Stouffville, the reality of running as an Independent proved a tougher hill to climb for Philpott.
After a tearful concession speech in which she repeatedly stressed the need for a shift in Canada's political culture, Philpott said she had no regrets about running as an Independent, despite the challenge it posed.
"Partisanship is what Canadians are used to but we showed that there are other ways to do politics," she told reporters as her election party wound down behind her.
"We showed what it's like to be positive and all these good people around me helped us to raise some questions and think about how we can actually do better."
When asked if she had a message for Trudeau, Philpott said: "I wish him the very best and I hope for the very best for Canada under his leadership."
Philpott, who won the seat in the Liberal sweep of 2015, faced a tough battle in seeking re-election despite spending months in the spotlight during the SNC-Lavalin affair.
Throughout the campaign, the former physician touted the benefits of not being tied to a party, but that didn't sway those in her riding, who backed Liberal candidate Helena Jaczek, a former Ontario health minister. Philpott came in third, behind Conservative candidate and local entrepreneur Theodore Anthony.
Wilson-Raybould paid tribute to Philpott.
"I know that Parliament will be lesser without her presence, but I know that Dr. Jane Philpott will go on to continue to do extraordinary things," she said.
Wilson-Raybould won her seat in Vancouver handily for the Liberals in 2015.
She pledged throughout this campaign to do politics differently through a non-partisan approach, a message that was backed by the support of Green Leader Elizabeth May at a rally in September.
Wilson-Raybould became a star candidate for the Liberals in their 2015 bid for power after serving as a B.C. regional chief of the Assembly of First Nations.
Entering the race this time, she had the advantage of a significantly larger profile than her challengers. But her campaign team was challenged with persuading voters that she would be an effective MP as an Independent without the same privileges in the House of Commons as the member of a major party.
Noormohamed tried to seize on that vulnerability in his bid to take the seat for the Liberals, saying in an interview during the campaign that voters in Vancouver Granville should have a voice in government.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 21, 2019.

This year, despite the fact that seiners and tenders have already filled town harbors, biologists are seeing signs of a slower start to the season.

Questions To Ask Before Booking A River Cruise

Microsoft Store mirrors popular concept of its rival
Blink an eye, and the Microsoft Store could be mistaken for an Apple Store. The sign over the doorway has no letters, only a Windows logo…
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Blink an eye, and the Microsoft Store could be mistaken for an Apple Store.
The sign over the doorway has no letters, only a Windows logo instead of an Apple silhouette. Wood bar tables display desktops and laptops, and Zunes and Windows Mobile phones replace iPods and iPhones. The walls are painted stark white to showcase the products.
Where Apple store have customer-service areas called "Genius Bars," Microsoft's have "Answer Bars" at the back. Staff wear Apple-style shirts in primary hues. Staff members may even look familiar; some were recruited from Apple stores.
"I think it's pretty cool, but they kind of copied the Mac store," said Spencer Doan, 19, who was in the Mission Viejo, Calif., store recently playing checkers with a friend on a Microsoft Surface, a coffee-table touch-screen computer.
Opening retail stores is another move to make the software giant appear warmer and cuddlier. In October, Microsoft opened the first two — in Scottsdale and Mission Viejo.
The company is not commenting on whether it plans to open one locally, although there is a limited store on the Redmond campus that's open to the public.
The stores are a way to combat the perception Microsoft is uncool and user-hostile, an image that rival Apple has cannily crafted in its TV commercials.
To be fair, it's a game plan other technology retailers are cribbing. A redesigned T-Mobile USA store in Seattle also features the equivalent of a Genius Bar.
Microsoft's new stores capped off a year in which the company finally started playing serious defense against Apple, to mixed results.
Last fall, Microsoft launched its "I'm a PC" ads, showing regular people bragging about their computer to counter Apple's popular commercials depicting Microsoft as a stodgy salaryman.
Microsoft also aired laptop-hunter ads attacking Apple's high prices, a message that reverberated in a consumer market shaken by an economic downturn.
Microsoft still has 96 percent of the personal-computer market, but the company can improve against Apple, CEO Steve Ballmer said at a shareholder meeting this month in Bellevue.
On mobile phones, for instance, the company is losing share against the runaway success of Apple's iPhone, although Microsoft hopes the next version of Windows Mobile will be competitive.
Hard sell for some
A few shoppers at the Apple Store in Seattle's University Village last week could not wrap their heads around a Microsoft Store.
"I don't know what it would sell," said Jared Enger, 20, a PC user who recently checked out an iPod Touch at the Apple Store.
The Microsoft stores in Arizona and California carry software made by Microsoft, software that runs on Microsoft software and hardware that runs on Microsoft software — computers, laptops, cellphones, Xboxes, Zune music players.
Shoppers can try out everything, just as in an Apple Store.
The stores also feature an Xbox video-game area where shoppers can try out games such as "DJ Hero" and "Madden NFL 10."
The Scottsdale store, about 9,000 square feet, recently was offering $100 to any customer who could beat a store employee at an Xbox game.
Sandwiched between a Juicy Couture and Burberry boutique, the Microsoft Store there had about 30 customers milling about on a recent Sunday afternoon.
One-ups on Apple
Microsoft store employees brag about one-ups on Apple. Instead of the light-up display walls Apple features, Microsoft has more than 100 LCD screens that run across the store walls.
The store hosts free workshops every day. If customers don't want to upgrade to Windows 7 at home, they can pay staff at the store $39.99 to do it for them.
The computers purchased at the store also come without the extra free software that populates new computers bought at other outlets.
No commission
As with Apple's staff, the employees do not work on commission, so they have all the time to answer questions from customers who may end up buying nothing.
The staff members are arguably the friendliest, most helpful employees Microsoft has ever hired. The Mission Viejo door greeter looks, and dances around, like Ashlee Simpson.
Another employee, who until recently worked for the Army National Guard, extols the virtues of Windows 7, then catches himself and says, "I'm starting to sound like a salesman!"
Microsoft corporate staff is not commenting on its stores. Apple won't return calls seeking comments.
"It's very hard for me to wrap my arms around it because what is going to differentiate it from other stores selling those same products" that run on Windows, said Jeff Green, a retail analyst in Mill Valley, Calif.
"As a way of marketing Windows 7, I thought it was brilliant."
Green predicts Microsoft will open more stores at a smaller size than the Scottsdale store to make them feel busier.
He doesn't think they'll match the presence Apple has built.
Apple now has 280 stores in 10 countries. The most recent opened this month on New York's Upper West Side featuring a glass arched roof and 200 employees on two stories.
On average, Green said the Apple stores make $4,250 per square foot, far above the average of $400 to $500 for specialty retailers.
In fiscal 2009, 18 percent of Apple's sales came through its retail stores, or $6.6 billion out of $36.5 billion. The company originally opened their own stores because it felt other retailers were not doing a great sales job on their product.
Victor Bremson, of Seattle, who was recently browsing at the U Village Apple store, has bought six Apple computers from the store, and he loves the one-on-one weekly consulting, which costs $100 a year.
"If I'm working on a project in Keynote, I will come in once a week," he said. "Tell me where [else] you can get consulting for $100 a year."
He shrugged when asked whether he would go to a Microsoft Store if one opened near him.
"We've been using Macs since the 1980s," he said. "Microsoft has been too late coming to the party."

Posted by Isabelle Potel on 11/02/2015 on agirpourlemploi.com
Saturday is the feast of love. Why not take the opportunity to do an article on lovers of their work? Because Yes, there are! And this is called simply be passionate!
I'll tell you a story, not any… mine! (yes I know, it's a bit cliche, but I am sure that many will y recognize)
Love, a story of passion…
I have no claim to introduce you my story. This is just a story of a passion that has become… my job and it became a love story. A story that keeps growing every day… Just love that I bring to my work.
Since then, Harris… that I put my fingers on a keyboard, I became crazy about my computer! I will always remember head I did and what I said to my mother when she told me that my sponsor was going to bring me a computer… I had then replied: ' but what am I going to do? » I'm not interested, it is not worth… ».
Brief… after having briefly explained to me that it was the future and blah blah blah (Yes, I admit, I have not listened…), it showed me how to turn it on and made me a quick tour of all its features by telling me that he had not the time me learn more… Super!
At the time, it was Windows 3.1 (I want to clarify that the computer was not very young and that he had also given me a listing printer). Me v' with a 'thing' which I do not serve me. But being so curious, I'm starting to 'tweak' and finally I spent my nights, the mouse no longer worked some time after, I then became the pro's keyboard shortcut… I said that at the time, of course, I had no internet (I did not even know what it was!).
Until the day, where, because of a virus on a floppy disk (eh Yes), he made the soul. I cried in the skirts of my mother so that she buy me a… And there my love story really began with Windows 98…
On the web!
In 2000, after much negotiations with my parents telling them that this would be a gain of time for my studies, they finally granted to have internet and there I saw the Messiah in person (in electronics)! That is also why I found my first job.
Technology had made a giant step and me also in many situations. When I had my second job, all my colleagues have started coming to see me when they had a problem with their computer and began to tell me that I should do a computer training because I did not bad and that I could go further. I answered simply that it was only a 'hobby', a passion and I want to keep it the (fear that it is too technical and that it disgusts me…)
The final revelation: community management
A few years later, three children and parental leave, I pondered my 'come back' professional and wanted to convert back to me… But I had a period where I couldn't project myself into a future professional (there were like a wall before me). until 2013 (eh Yes not so far) where I fell by chance on an article about a new job: Community Manager. Divine goodness! Combine passion and work, I couldn't ask for better!
Heading for adventure!
For a brief moment I said to myself: « I was born too soon » (but really a short time). I quickly recovered and I searched for how to get there.
I will briefly explain my career. I did not the container but a professional degree (equivalent to BAC + 1) in the field of tourism. I am subsequently become receptionist in a 700-room hotel (a plant, we can say) in Paris (at the base I am a girl campaign ch'ti), then I worked as a receptionist, receptionist, in charge of a conference centre in an American company. You understand now that nothing has been easy, it's a total change! Of course now all formations have the digital in their program, where the brief moment of nostalgia… But mind, I'll do a training.
At the time (Yes 2013, is not so far away and yet…), there is not much training because is a new profession that is beginning to emerge in France, and the latter has a little trouble to get there. I have the right to training for my parental leave, then opportunity! I can make financing the Fongecif through FHTT (training outside working time), very well. In addition to that I can do it remotely to be able to manage my family life… Impeccable! But (it would be too easy otherwise), it must be awarding, Ouch! Everything that I have found is not level or otherwise, I do not have the required level… But if I did a VAE (Validation des Acquis by Experience)? No, this is not possible given that the degree is not in the field of tourism…
OK, ok, do we discourage! Think, do I really need to do like this? Google, oh my friend Google, can you find me a program allowing me to learn the ropes? Well hop, a self-study by ci, there… And hooo! What is this? A MOOC (Massive Open Online Classrooms)? Informing and communicating on social networks, MOOC of Rue89, which will begin in a few weeks? I take and at the same time, I'm going to pass the certification. Many days later, here I am with my reward: my piece of paper attesting that I worked well and I understood the theory!
Next step: put into practice, the theory, in other words a small stage is needed… Put me in the « bath » before seeking the job of my dreams. Meanwhile my parental leave has ended, we swapped the Picardy against the beautiful region of Midi-Pyrénées, suddenly, I had to (legitimately) resign from the position I occupied before (Toulouse / Paris, it's a tad far…) my first pregnancy and to subscribe to Pôle Emploi… Ads of course, there are tons… but wait… What is conventioned internship? I just want to get an internship and will not do the choosy, of course it will be unpaid. Ah… It does more work like that now… Ah… So how I am doing without convention? After some research, the only solution is an EMT (workplace assessment) of 15 days by Pôle Emploi… It's not great thing but better than nothing… 34 spontaneous applications later, 3 positive responses (34, in having clarified that it was unpaid, I was hoping a little more answers…), I thought, the first who agrees, I take! Bingo! First go to a travel agency, accepted internship. I was finally able to put what I learned into practice and my account that YES! I got my conversion and that I can see my professional future take shape before my eyes, with a few « slaps » because I can not all detail you, otherwise it would be a novel but everyday I autoforme me, I attend conferences, some formations of « real » trainers (thanks the canteen of Toulouse) with… I am questioning perpetually to overcome at best.
I'm now ready for the real active life!
I think I had an incredible opportunity and that's why I love even more what I'm doing. My wish was to go as a Community Manager in the field of tourism, but when it was explained the project, what could be more noble than to help others out when one is oneself to unemployment?
I'm Isabelle, I am 38 years old. I'm self-taught Community Manager and at the moment I work within the EPA as a volunteer. I love my job! Incidentally, I did not feel that this was a 'work' itself. I take it very seriously, and indeed at this moment, I do not know if this article like it, if it is well written (I'm not journalist and never did 'true' blog). I've already made mistakes and I would definitely do more, after all we are human beings humans…
In any case, I am somehow « love » my job, I will put my gut and my heart and me invested completely in this mission, which is to help my neighbor.
I therefore wish a happy Valentine's to all those people who, every day give the best of them – even in their job. Artists, artisans, firefighters, nurses (e) s, journalists… we all have this small flame within us: the passion. The only moral that one might find in this story is just to give the means to access our dreams. Because of a dream born passion that turns into love…
And you, how did you do to make your passion your job? I await your feedback on your work experience and this article.

The XL1 is Volkswagen's vision of a plug-in hybrid car that returns an amazingly low combined fuel consumption of 0.9lt/100km, equal to 261 mpg US and 313 mpg UK, or to be precise, MPGe (Miles per gallon gasoline equivalent) since this figure includes the use of both the internal combustion engine and the battery.
The two-seater model was presented as a concept last year and is now heading for very limited run production starting from next year - if all goes according to plan. VW's engineers were filmed in Spain completing new tests with the car as they prepare for its introduction.Read more »

West Blocton Homecoming Queen Scores Field Goal at Her Father's Final Game as Head Coach
When u know the world is becoming a better place. #missfridaynight #homecomingqueen #kindness #football #family
A photo posted by wendy (@wendywrites) on
People in West Blocton call Jodie Farnetti "Miss Friday Night;" the 17-year-old earned her nickname in a most remarkable way.
On Friday, October 16, Jodie was crowned homecoming queen... wearing a football uniform... just before she kicked a field goal... in her dad's final game as the coach of West Blocton High School.
How awesome is that?
ABC News reports that Jodie had practiced for kicking the field goal and had asked the players on the team if she could join them in the October 16 game. The players gave Jodie their enthusiastic approval, and the team decided the homecoming game would take place that day.
In an awesome coincidence, Jodie was crowned homecoming queen that night. Since she'd already dressed out, she was crowned queen while wearing the West Blocton High uniform.
In the fourth quarter of the game, Jodie kicked a field goal, and after she put points on the board, she rushed over to the sidelines to hug her dad.
Watch the video of that incredible moment HERE.

Many parents regard playpens as a safe playing environment for their children. Yet playpens can pose a safety risk. Since 1990, Health Canada received 156 reports of incidents associated with playpens and their accessories. These included 10 deaths, 1 serious injury, 31 minor injuries, and 114 incidents without injury. Parents should be mindful of the safety hazards associated with playpens, and be aware of Canada's proposed playpen regulations.
The Proposed Playpen Regulations
On April 21, 2017, the Government of Canada announced proposed regulations to strengthen requirements for playpens to better protect infants and young children from potential harm.
These proposed regulations are, in part, a response to the evolution of playpen designs. Over the years, playpens have achieved greater functionality with added features such as change tables or sleep accessories. These changes are convenient, but increase the safety risks of playpens. Safety risks for infants and young children may include:
- strangulation in collapsed side rails
- getting caught between accessories and the playpen
- getting caught in openings in the sides of the playpen
- suffocation on the angled mattress pads of sleep accessories
Health Canada is proposing to replace regulations under the current Canada Consumer Product Safety Act with the Playpens Regulations. The Playpen Regulations address playpen safety concerns and take into consideration regulations that already exist in the United States. Further, the Playpen Regulations align with the safety requirements for children's sleep products under the Cribs, Cradles and Bassinets Regulations, which came into force on December 29, 2016 and contain improved safety requirements for products marketed or intended for children's sleep as well as associated sleep accessories.
Highlights of the Proposed Regulations
The Playpen Regulations include the addition or introduction of requirements and test methods to address:
- unintentional folding or collapse of the top rails of playpens;
- the sizing of playpen floor pads to limit gaps between the edge of the pad and the sides of the pen;
- the angles of sleep surface to limit the potential for suffocation and asphyxia;
- playpen accessories, including accessories intended for unsupervised infant sleep;
- playpen stability;
- concerns relating to playpen projections and the risk of entanglement;
- the height of corner posts and playpen sides; and,
- the maximum number of wheels permitted on playpens.
In addition, Health Canada is proposing bilingual warning labels to appear on playpens to warn parents to be mindful of: 1) blind and curtain cord proximity to playpens, given the risk of strangulation; 2) the assembly and use of playpens and accessories of children the products are designed for; 3) supervision while a child is in the playpen; and 4) keeping the playpen free of soft bedding to reduce the risk of suffocation.
