It's that time again where we reach for resolutions and predict what 2016 has in store. When sifting through forecasting top tens, something has stood out: the rise of the hacker. A galling thought we'll agree, but not unrealistic. We've all seen such high profile cases as the leak at Sony, and of course the controversial platform, Ashley Madison, losing sensitive customer data. The Sony incident in particular publicized an unfamiliar kind of strike: state sponsored 'cyberespionage'.
Indeed it's not only been a case of large scale, corporate attacks. Examples of baby monitors and car operating systems being hijacked have brought the phenomenon closer to home than ever before. Literally so with the advance of smart homes.
While we're not ones for hysteria, these violations of privacy indicate that as hackers become more sophisticated, we need to find ways of keeping up; something particularly pertinent for organizations dealing with personal data, such as schools or councils. As IT Pro Portal put it, "Those who continue to ignore the underlying structural integrity of their software will once again make headlines". So if you don't fancy making the press, instead make security a priority in 2016.
Doing this is easier than you think, especially with… you guessed it, the guys over at Google. Like all companies they're constantly under attack from hackers, however they have a team staffed with hundreds of experts so can confidently say that they take security seriously. When using Google for Work your sessions automatically encrypt as material travels between your browser and their data centers. Add this to the fact that with 14 of those data centers, no information is kept in one place. The proverbial icing on the cake comes with a focus on machine learning: reacting to viruses like a body would. Most of the major players in Cloud – including Google – are now seeing this as their front-line of defense.
So while this is all well and good, the most commonly reported affronts are in fact attacks on profiles, with hackers trying to steal login details through phishing. It seems so simple but this is what trips users up again and again: your PASSWORD. To stay safe you simply have to follow best practices, so remember the golden rules: make it longer than eight characters, create a strong mix of letters, numbers and symbols, do not reuse it across other channels and change it regularly. Perhaps most important though is the use of 2-step verification with passwords. This offers that essential second layer of support, with the requirement of a code sent via text, voice call or the mobile app – to keep prying eyes out.
Ultimately if we have to offer one piece of advice this year, it's go Google. The easy answer to a safer system.

Speaking to People, the former Full House star insisted that she'd make an ideal contestant for the ABC reality competition.

Sweetin also vowed that she would be willing to put in the hours necessary to succeed on the series.
The actress explained: "If I did do the show, I would ask, 'How many hours did the winners rehearse?' Then I'd want to do that, plus an hour. I would be that determined."

A Happy Excursion
In the northern ocean there is a fish, called the k'un, I do not know how many thousand li in size. This k'un changes into a bird, called the p'eng.
Its back is I do not know how many thousand li in breadth. When it is moved, it flies, its wings obscuring the sky like clouds.
When on a voyage, this bird prepares to start for the Southern Ocean, the Celestial Lake. And in the Records of Marvels
we read that when the peng flies southwards, the water is smitten for a space of three thousand li around, while the bird itself
mounts upon a great wind to a height of ninety thousand li, for a flight of six months' duration.
There mounting aloft, the bird saw the moving white mists of spring, the dust-clouds, and the living things blowing their breaths
among them. It wondered whether the blue of the sky was its real color, or only the result of distance without end, and saw that
the things on earth appeared the same to it.
If there is not sufficient depth, water will not float large ships. Upset a cupful into a hole in the yard, and a mustard-seed will be
your boat. Try to float the cup, and it will be grounded, due to the disproportion between water and vessel.
So with air .If there is not sufficient a depth, it cannot support large wings. And for this bird, a depth of ninety thousand li
is necessary to bear it up. Then, gliding upon the wind, with nothing save the clear sky above, and no obstacles in the way,
it starts upon its journey to the south.
A cicada and a young dove laughed, saying, "Now, when I fly with all my might, 'tis as much as I can do to get from tree to tree.
And sometimes I do not reach, but fall to the ground midway. What then can be the use of going up ninety thousand li to start
for the south?" He who goes to the countryside taking three meals with him comes back with his stomach as full as when he started.
But he who travels a hundred li must take ground rice enough for an overnight stay. And he who travels a thousand li must supply
himself with provisions for three months. Those two little creatures, what should they know?
Small knowledge has not the compass of great knowledge any more than a short year has the length of a long year. How can we tell that this is so?
The fungus plant of a morning knows not the alternation of day and night. The cicada knows not the alternation of spring and autumn.
Theirs are short years. But in the south of Chu there is a mingling (tree) whose spring and autumn are each of five hundred years'
duration. And in former days there was a large tree which had a spring and autumn each of eight thousand years. Yet, Peng Tsu is known
for reaching a great age and is still, alas! An object of envy to all!

Eggplant meatballs with tomato sauce – Italian eggplant balls with tomato sauce
Goodmorning everyone!
Today I take you with me. Rather, in my true homeland: Italy. On Facebook I have weeks ago announcedThat my blog will go a bit more in the Italian direction in the future. While there will still be food from other countries – for that I just experimenting to like – but I want to show you some more of the true Italian cuisine with which I grew up.
What awaits you there: Basics (homemade pasta, risotto, …), As well as local dishes. There will be classic, but also regional specialties that are perhaps not as well known in Germany. I want to convince you that the Italian cuisine is varied and has more to offer than pizza or spaghetti bolognese. It would please me if you accompanied me on my trip to Italy and get inspired by me let.
Once it here already some Italian dishes was, I want something might imagine today less known: Eggplant meatballs with tomato sauce – or German: eggplant balls with tomato sauce.
The balls are made relatively quickly, only for the tomato sauce you should schedule some more time. This tomato sauce from the recipe you are with about 45 minutes of cooking, but still relatively well off, because usually simmers an Italian tomato sauce considerably longer. But worth it for sure!
Eggplant meatballs with tomato sauce
Ingredients(For about 16 balls)
For the tomato sauce:
- 2 cans peeled tomatoes
- 1 small onion
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 EL Olivenöl
- 10 basil leaves
- Salt and pepper
- optional: soda, dried basil
For the Polpette:
- 1 eggplant (about 230g cleaned)
- 130g Paniermehl
- 1 egg
- 130g grated Parmesan cheese
- some flour
- tasteless oil for frying
- Salt, pepper, nutmeg
- clean onion and garlic and chop both finely.
- The oil in a saucepan, add onion and garlic and fry until soft.
- Then the tomatoes – after removal of the shank – coarsely chop and add.
- Adjust the heat of the oven so that the Sugo slightly simmering and cook for about 45 minutes. The finished tomato sauce should be thick, but so that the tomato pieces are still recognizable.
HintIn my family we use always a little baking soda to neutralize the acid. If you want this also to try, then the soda give about 20 minutes after the start of cooking in the sauce.
But beware: Go sparingly in order, otherwise the sauce has a funny taste that you get little more away. As a guideline for this amount Sugo: about 1 pinch of baking soda.
- add salt to Sugo for about 5 minutes before end of cooking and pepper, chop the basil leaves and stir into the sauce.
- Eggplant clean, chop and boil in salted water for 10 minutes. The dice then strain and as they become lukewarm puree with a hand blender.
- Breadcrumbs, egg and Parmesan eggplant to mass add and mix well with your hands. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg and set for about 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Once the mass no longer sticks to your hands, the balls form with your hands. These should be like a 2 € coin about the size of the diameter.
- Heat the oil for frying in a pan, lightly flour the the balls and golden brown in hot oil, stirring frequently – or to taste a bit crispy – roast meat.
- give the finished balls on absorbent paper so that the excess oil can thereby be absorbed.
The eggplant meatballs served (hot or lukewarm) on something warm tomato sauce and garnish with basil.
I personally eat the eggplant balls with a lot of tomato sauce in which I eintunke bread. This is typical in Italian cuisine. So do not be surprised the next time Italy vacation, if you get served with the main dish bread 😉
How did you like this dish? Maybe it knew one or the other might have? If something is unclear, do not hesitate to ask me.
I would be happy if you expressed to me about the comment feature requests regarding future recipes!

NEW WEBINAR >> How To Maximize The Biggest Opportunities After Reopening
- 3 Minute Read -
Some people just make an impression on their co-workers. Matt has certainly achieved that at SmartBox through his professional accomplishments. Of course, his nickname probably helps, too.
"My nickname at SmartBox," he says with a grin, "is 'Matty Ice,' conferred by Mr. T (Matt Tungate) himself. I moved from Atlanta (home of the Falcons) and the nickname just stuck!"
A Client Success Manager for SmartBox, Matt describes his main responsibility as "providing our clients with a digital experience they're proud of, whether this be via client communication, training, ensuring the elements throughout design and content match both the look and feel of the client's practice (I learn those from visiting their office), or regular communication and updates. I also work with the marketing team to optimize our marketing efforts to bring them great results."
Whether at work or in his personal life, Matt is one highly self-motivated individual. "I am always looking to better myself both mentally and physically," he says. "After putting myself through school in three years while working full-time, I've continued to study and learn in hopes of continuing on to an MBA program. I've also begun hitting the gym again after a two-year hiatus following a shoulder injury and a second major surgery. I'm a true believer that our energy level throughout the day increases with an increase in physical activity. I'm passionate about bringing out the best version of myself everyday."
To say that Matt is a high-energy person would be an understatement. "I am a go-getter, and complacency isn't my thing. Whether it is life, work, friends, or travel, I am always up for the next big thing. I like to be challenged and pushed to bring out the best in myself. While I can't say that I live life on the edge, because let's be honest, my wife wouldn't be excited about me jumping out of a plane, I can say that our life certainly is never boring, and that is just how I like it. Whether it's finding the next exciting car to drive, motorcycle to ride, or place to travel to, I am always looking forward to what lies ahead."
Some of that excitement happens at home during basketball and football seasons. "My wife and I are also huge sports fans, and yes, I do mean plural. While Mr. T and I share the same love affair for our Kentucky Wildcats, my wife is a born-and-raised Georgia Bulldog, which means football season is her time to yell at the TV, while mine starts when UK hits the hardwood."
Under Matt's strong client success orientation lies a restless spirit. "I am constantly looking to learn something new," he says, "which means I can't be content with where I am today, as there is more to learn tomorrow. I can only be as good as my eagerness to learn. One of my strengths is my desire to push the envelope. I live by the 'go big or go home' motto. I've never been interested in producing anything 'cookie-cutter.' Rather, I want something original that can really wow you. I'm always researching new and innovative ideas so I can bring new elements to the table to help both our clients and our team. There is a massive amount of new digital marketing material that is published daily, and the more I can broaden my knowledge, the more I can help our clients."
In SmartBox, Matt has found the perfect environment to learn and to share his own knowledge. "I enjoy the team atmosphere," he says. "SmartBox has compiled a group of talented and passionate individuals who all have the same goal: our clients' success. We work cross-functionally on a daily, if not hourly, basis. I am driven, a problem solver, and a goal-oriented team player. While I may be immersed in my own work and helping my clients, everyone knows that they can come to me with questions and I'll dive in and help. My work is no more or less important than my teammates, and they know I will always step up whenever they need it.
"When I started with SmartBox, Katie and Stacey had a tendency to ask me every few hours if I needed anything, because I wasn't asking too many questions. As they came to learn, I try to exhaust all available resources before waving the white flag and asking for help. This enabled me to immerse myself within everything that is SmartBox, and in turn find ways to help others as they come aboard. The goal is to bring success to all of our clients, and to do that, we need to continue working as a team."
And speaking of a restless spirit: "While our comrade Alex has spent time in every major airport in the country," Matt observes, "I doubt many people have lived in as many places as I have. I think there should be a medal for how many states our dogs have lived in."
We'll get right on that, Matt.
SmartBox employs the best minds in dentistry to help you grow your practice. Our Practice Growth System™ is proven to help dentists in every market area across the country achieve predictable year-over-year growth.

Rising stars Urias, Tatis Jr., unafraid to talk Padres championships
If fans need reassurance that the Padres aggressive push toward young talent can yield champagne-popping results, just ask a pair of visionary teenagers.
Two of the team's brightest prospects also possess the brightest outlooks.
Padres' 'all-in' Dominican push shaping franchise future
MLB veteran Moises Alou helps guide Padres' shift
Preller's global eye fuels full-scale transformation of Padres
Luis Urias, a second baseman from Mexico, was named at the MVP of the Cal League after beginning the season as the league's youngest player.
He showed even more maturity as he analyzed the Padres' future.
"I just think this can be a championship team – not a team that's just looking to play or happy to participate," said Urias, who led the league in average (.330), while finishing second in hits (152) and third in on-base percentage (.397).
"I see all these players as championship-caliber players."
The son of 11-year Major League veteran Fernando Tatis chose to be even bolder.
Fernando Tatis Jr., a Dominican native who played shortstop, third base and second base as a 17-year-old with low-A Tri-City, recorded the third-best average for the Dust Devils (.273).
He was part of the deal last June that moved pitcher James Shields to the White Sox.
"We're going to give a championship to San Diego for the first time," Tatis said.
The 5-foot-9, 160-pound Urias thinks big – despite his relative stature.
"People always talk about, from a playing standpoint, 'Oh, you're small. These guys are really good' – things of that nature," Urias said. "… That's motivation, at least on the physical side, to push me to prove people wrong."
On the other end of the measuring stick, Tatis Jr. stands 6-3. He thinks big, too. His father set the Major League record with two grand slams in one inning, for the Cardinals off the Dodgers' Chan Ho Park in 1999.
Tatis Jr. acknowledged there's pressure attached to his name.
"Yeah. Because my name is already over there (in the U.S.), so I've got to make it better," he said. "Eleven years in the big-leagues, that's a big responsibility. I feel like, I'm here and I've got to make it better than my dad."
How does he plan to do that?

Donald Trump, employers, illegal immigrants, Immigration, Labor Department, labor shortages, Mainstream Media, Pew Research Center, wages, workers, {What's Left of) Our Economy
Although dominated lately by the uproar over comments about Mexican arrivals made by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, America's immigration debate will surely remain fueled powerfully by business claims of severe labor shortages. With industries ranging from fruit-picking to computer services allegedly desperate for help, numerous employers insist that the only fix is admitting ever more foreign workers into the U.S. economy. It's lucky, then, that the Pew Research Center's Hispanic Trends staff has recently updated its estimates on where the nation's current illegal immigrants work – because they expose the labor shortage claims as largely bogus.
Reaching this conclusion is easy: Just compare Pew's findings on occupations with the largest share of illegals in their workforces with wage figures put out by the U.S. Labor Department. If a given group of workers has been enjoying wages rising faster than the economy-wide average, that's a pretty good sign of a labor market that's at least reasonably tight (though not necessarily suffering any kind of lasting shortage). If a given group of workers has experienced wage lag, chances are their employers aren't exactly starved for employees. Otherwise, of course, they'd be offering much higher pay.
According to Pew, the broad groups that were most illegals-heavy as of 2012 were farming, fishing and forestry; building and grounds cleaning and maintenance; construction and extraction; food preparation and serving; production; and transportation and material moving. No doubt none of these categories comes as a surprise. But here's the funny thing: All of them have seen wages rising more slowly than the national average.
The Labor Department data used by Pew also reports constant dollar (pre-inflation) wages for these occupational groups (which are different from the industry groups whose wage figures I normally report on). They show that in May, 2009 (the available data closest to the start of the current economic recovery), economy-wide median wages were $15.95 per hour. By last May (the latest numbers), they had risen 7.15 percent before inflation, to $17.09. (You can look up the raw data yourself here and here.) Now here are the rates of increase for the illegals-heavy occupations:
>Farming, Fishing, and Forestry: +3.29 percent
>Building and Grounds Cleaning and Maintenance: +4.09 percent
>Production: +5.83 percent
>Construction and Extraction: +6.76 percent
>Transportation and Material Moving: +5.50 percent
>Food Preparation and Serving: 3.49 percent
Even worse, the occupational group that features the highest share of illegal workers – that farming etc. sector – saw the most sluggish wage increases. And the building maintenance category, the second most illegals-intensive occupation, wasn't much better. That's the opposite of what you'd expect from mainstream economics, which would insist that the sector that used the greatest numbers of illegals should be that experiencing the most wage inflation.
Some Mainstream Media organizations reported on the Pew results on occupational concentrations of illegal immigrants. But despite the prominence of the labor shortage claims, I couldn't find a single instance of any reporters examining these critically important wage trends. They and the pundits, moreover, have completely ignored their wage-depressing implications for native-born workers. It's clearly more satisfying to parrot phony labor shortage claims intended to inflate the work force artificially, and pauperize masses of American citizens and legal residents further, Not to mention fulminating about Donald Trump.

Gakkel Ridge
The Gakkel Ridge (formerly known as the Nansen Cordillera and Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge)[1] is a mid-oceanic ridge, a divergent tectonic plate boundary between the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate.[2] It is located in the Eurasian Basin of the Arctic Ocean, between Greenland and Siberia, and has a length of about 1,800 kilometers. Geologically, it connects the northern end of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge with the Laptev Sea Rift.
The existence and approximate location of the Gakkel Ridge were predicted by Soviet polar explorer Yakov Yakovlevich Gakkel, and confirmed on Soviet expeditions in the Arctic around 1950. The Ridge is named after him, and the name was recognized in April 1987 by SCUFN (under that body's old name, the Sub-Committee on Geographical Names and Nomenclature of Ocean Bottom Features).[1]
The ridge is the slowest known spreading ridge on earth, with a rate of less than one centimeter per year. Until 1999, it was believed to be non-volcanic; that year, scientists operating from a nuclear submarine discovered active volcanoes along it. In 2001 two research icebreakers, the German Polarstern and the American Healy, with several groups of scientists, cruised to the Gakkel Ridge to explore it and collect petrological samples. Among other discoveries, this expedition found evidence of hydrothermal vents. In 2007, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution conducted the "Arctic Gakkel Vents Expedition" (AGAVE), which made some unanticipated discoveries, including the unconsolidated fragmented pyroclastic volcanic deposits that cover the axial valley of the ridge (whose area is greater than 10 km2). These suggest volatile substances in concentrations ten times those in the magmas of normal mid-ocean ridges.[3] Using "free-swimming" robotic submersibles on the Gakkel ridge, the AGAVE expedition also discovered what they called "bizarre 'mats' of microbial communities containing a half dozen or more new species".[4]
The Gakkel ridge is remarkable in that is not offset by any transform faults. The ridge does have segments with variable orientation and varying degrees of volcanism: the Western Volcanic Zone From the Lena trough, 7° W, to 3° E longitude), the Sparsely Magmatic Zone (from 3° E to 29° E longitude), and the Eastern Magmatic Zone (from 29° E to 89°E).[5] The gaps of volcanic activity imply very cold crust and mantle, probably related to the very low spreading rate, but it is not yet known why some parts of the ridge are more magmatic than others.[6] Some earthquakes have been detected from the mantle, below the crust, which is very unusual for a mid-ocean ridge.[7] It confirms that the mantle and crust of Gakkel ridge, like some segments of the Southwest Indian Ridge, are very cold.

Wedding Customs
In Algeria, as in all Arab countries, society revolves around religion and the religious customs of Islam. Marriage in Algeria is taken very seriously and is considered by most as a sign of maturity. According to the Qur'an, marriage must be based upon love. Algeria's wedding customs amongst those following the Muslim religion are much the same as in other practicing Muslim communities.

Use of Drones Raises Questions
Photo by Erika Johnson/University Communications
Drones – UAVs or unmanned aerial vehicles – are not exactly ubiquitous yet. But that future may not be far away.
The day after it was reported that Dominos is testing drones for pizza delivery, the L.A.-based Drone Dudes were on the UC San Diego campus with a remote-controlled flying camera, buzzing around the blue "Fallen Star" cottage high atop Jacobs Hall, getting shots an unassisted human would be hard-pressed to get. Inside the Jacobs School of Engineering, meanwhile, a team of students (link to Ioana's story) was hard at work developing their version of a UAV, one they hope will have a number of commercial applications. Farther afield, another sort of drone might have been conducting surveillance of the U.S. border with Mexico. Yet another was probably flying a military mission over Pakistan.
Drones range dramatically, from what UC San Diego visual arts professor and chair Jordan Crandall calls the "wondrous flying machines" of DIYers and other hobbyists, to copters that can monitor endangered species or the progress of wildfires, to the massive, weaponized systems operated by the U.S. military. That's a big range: from geek-chic to deadly. And just as big as the differences between drones are the questions about them that we, as a society, have yet to fully address.
Jordan Crandall in his work "Unmanned."
Crandall, who co-curated the "Drones at Home" exhibition at Qualcomm Institute (Calit2) last year, has been working on a project he calls "Unmanned." A performance piece and a book in progress, "Unmanned" primarily examines the drones used for state-sponsored surveillance and military operations. In the performance, Crandall enacts seven different characters to explore the changing nature of masculinity as warfare becomes increasingly automated.
The goal of the piece and of Crandall's larger endeavor on drones, he says, is to provide a "a philosophical framework for understanding distributed intelligence and action." What are drones? What does it mean to be automated? At what point, if ever, has decision-making been ceded to the machine?
To begin with, Crandall says, drones – even the so-called autonomous ones – are not really "unmanned." It takes hundreds of people to operate a sophisticated one; it's just that the operators (and the programmers before them) have been redistributed in time and space. The network is complex and largely invisible, Crandall says. So much so that it's hard to grasp. Crandall hopes his work will help people visualize the network, insofar as that's possible, and serve as a starting point for the broader discussion about drones we need to have. "It is important," he said, "to create awareness and informed dialogue about drone use."
Crandall may be as fascinated with drones as the folks who tinker with them in their garages, but he also wants us to consider some thorny scenarios: "In what cases, for example, would it be acceptable to arm a drone used by the police?"
Kelly Gates
Kelly Gates, an associate professor of communication and science studies at UC San Diego, has similar questions. She is also not an outright critic of the technology – there are obvious benign and beneficial applications – but, like Crandall, she wants us to take the time to grapple with the issues they raise.
Author of "Our Biometric Future: Facial Recognition Technology and the Culture of Surveillance," Gates focuses her research on digital media technologies. Her main emphasis has been on the politics and social implications of computerization, particularly the automation of surveillance.
For Gates, the big cultural moment with drones came after the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Humans, she says, have been using "unmanned" aerial devices to study enemy territory since the invention of the hot-air balloon. But attaching weapons to these devices is pretty new. The recent ramp-up in scale is also unprecedented.
She is troubled by how "weaponization of drones just sort of happened," with very little public notice or discussion.
As drones multiply and their capacities grow, she would like to see people take seriously not only the ethical issues associated with bomb strikes abroad or Big-Brother possibilities at home but also the potential invasions of privacy from such banal uses as highly precise images taken by realtors or traffic reporters.
While "there is no putting this [technology] back in the box," Gates says, we can stop being unthinking about its adoption.
Yet she worries that "people are becoming so accustomed to surveillance that we just can't be shocked anymore." At this point, she wonders, is there even a meaningful concept of "privacy" left?

A sonnet I wrote for school while reading William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet; this sonnet concerns them.
Met like stars whose galaxies pull adverse
Beneath one sky, love shied the cord
Which glances formed, scripted to life by verse;
Yet true brilliance bound could they afford?
Their names eternal which fortune ordained
And Fixed forever, plotted plight's
Poisoned rancor, dosed to wither deigned
Romance, thus undone by the world's cruel blights
Stars met without their fields unbalance all,
The sky cannot hold, as flames verge to meet.
Saturnine globes shall bar each burning ball;
Sent to orbit goes one in narrow feat.
When the tremulous cord fatally splits
Behold remnant sparks cross the sky in flits.

New Britain police officer stabbed while breaking up domestic dispute
New Britain police said an officer was stabbed and seriously injured while another officer was stabbed, but was protected by a pocket notebook, while responding to an alleged assault early Sunday morning by a man against his common-law wife.
Christopher Denigris, 51, is accused of charging at the officers.
The Hartford Courant reports that Officer Bruce Moro was stabbed twice; he was hospitalized and is expected to recover from his injuries, police said.
Police said Denigris allegedly tried to stab the other, unidentified, officer in the chest, but the knife did not penetrate notebooks in his shirt pocket.
Denigris fled in a police cruiser, but crashed into a fence.
He is charged with attempt to commit murder, assault and other offenses. He is being held on a $1 million bond.

British tourists killed in Salalah car crash on cruise bound for Abu Dhabi
Two British tourists killed in a traffic accident in Salalah last week were on a cruise from Aqaba to Abu Dhabi aboard the cruise ship Boudicca, operated by Fred Olsen Cruise Line.
The cruise line said the passengers were on an excursion to Souq Al Haffa in Salalah when they were struck by a car, having alighted from their tour bus, according to Cruise Arabia & Africa.
"Our deepest sympathies are with the families and loved ones at this very tragic time," a spokesperson for the cruise line said. "The guests' families have been informed and arrangements are being made to reunite them with their loved ones."
According to Royal Oman Police, preliminary reports indicate that the cause of the accident was the driver's deviation from his lane. The driver also did not hold a driving licence. Further investigations into the accident are ongoing.
The two female guests who were killed in the accident were among three stuck by the car. The third, a male passenger, suffered serious injuries and is being treated in Oman, according to police reports.
A crew member from Boudicca has remained behind in hospital with the injured guest, and a senior member of Fred. Olsen's UK Head Office team has flown to Salalah to provide additional assistance, the line said.
"The safety of all guests and crew is Fred. Olsen's utmost priority. We continue to work closely with the local tour operator, the authorities in Salalah and Oman and the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office to provide full support to all those affected," the statement added.
Boudicca is currently on a 14-night 'Authentic Arabia' fly-cruise, which departed from Aqaba, Jordan on 20th September 2018. The cruise will conclude in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates on 3rd October 2018.

Price: Free for European Union Citizens. Rest: 1,50
The exhibition brings together, in a unique and unrepeatable occasion, the masterpieces of the sculptor Martínez Montañés presented as one of the great creators in the transition from the Renaissance to the Baroque, capable of raising a personal artistic territory, putting intensity at the service of faith and beauty. The exhibition aims to show the transcendence of the artist through a selection of the most chosen of his production: sets that constitute altarpieces or large commissions, together with the best examples of imagery, reliefs, and sculptures of round bulk, of different stages and representative of the iconographies that contributed decisively to consolidate in baroque Seville. Along with this, the criterion maintained in the selection of works has been representativeness, quality and conservation status. To do this in recent months on the occasion of the exhibition, it has intervened in 18 of the exhibited works.Sigue leyendo MARTÍNEZ MONTAÑÉS EXHIBITION IN SEVILLE

Plans for 110 new homes and a primary school set for approval
PUBLISHED: 09:23 10 October 2019 | UPDATED: 10:48 10 October 2019
Controversial plans to build 110 new houses and a primary school in Holt will be decided at a meeting.
North Norfolk District Council will discuss the plans on Thursday morning. w
The council received 67 letters of objection on their planning website.
The proposal includes a residential development comprising 110 homes, plus land to build a primary school on land off Beresford Road.
The development would include affordable homes and also a public open space and recreation facilities.
Objections to the plans included increased traffic on Charles Road, increased congestion associated with the school at drop off and pick up times and loss of agricultural land and open views.
Norfolk county councillor Sarah Butikofer said: "A single point of access to the site is completely inadequate for the location.
"Traffic flow issues, on street parking congestion and dangerous driving are issues in the vicinity.

"I am concerned that this is a back door approach to closing other small local schools in the medium term."
A public consultation was held on the plans last year and, following responses, the new proposals include changes to the scheme design.
Four years ago the developer's bid to build 170 homes on the site was refused planning permission after a failed appeal.
Back in 2015 the council's development committee refused Gladman's application partly because it said the site was outside Holt's development boundary.
Holt Town Council agree a school is needed, but are of the opinion that they do not want to be held 'hostage' to agree to 110 dwellings in exchange for it.
In its submission, the council said: "The town council object to this application. They do not object to a school and see the need for it but object to this location because of access issues."
Now, the plans are set to be approved under a list of conditions including no less than 36pc affordable housing on the site, a financial contribution of £127,300 towards Holt Country Park access management and payment of £337,676 to Norfolk County Council for education provision.
Plans will be discussed by the district council's development control committee in the council chamber on Holt Road, Cromer on Thursday, October 10 at 9.30am.

Yes, a ramp speed (yellow sign) is just an advisory and not a traffic law. But essentially, this is passing the buck on the crosswalk itself. The MTO says that anything part of the ramp is part of the freeway, but freeways don't have crosswalks... but the city says the MTO is in charge of the ramp.
So *nobody* owns the crosswalk. Who painted the lines?
There are no upcoming events right now.
Why not post one?

I was hungry for pizza tonight, but I made this recipe instead. It was excellent, tasted even better than take out pizza.
Sep 14, 2015
This pizza was so easy and so good. My daughter and I had so much fun making it and eating it. I took the suggestion of pairing it with sweet red wine. Glad I did. It was awesome!

I liked this recipe but thought it was a little labor intensive so not sure how often I'll make it.
Oct 18, 2012
Easy to make and my kids absolutely love these.
Oct 1, 2012
Made this tonight, tasted great. Few things are off though, there wasn't quite enough meat and mushrooms to go around all the loaves. Will use more next time. I used cut up velveeta instead of the cheese spread, it worked out great. Will use less of it next time, as was a bit salty. All in all this recipe was great as it was, will make again :)
Jan 10, 2011
I made this last night. It was a big hit. Both my parents said it was good. It was easy to make, but very messy. I would definitely make this again, but next time, I think I would use crescent rolls rather than the French Bread. I also found the cooking time to be a little off.
Apr 22, 2010
I made this for a happy hour. It's perfect since it can be done ahead of time and just popped into the oven while everyone visits. I did half with the peppers and half without for the weak eaters. Everyone LOVED it! It was gone as soon as I put it out.

I've noticed quite a few of these in East Sac (from 50th St to Sac State). Most are locked to signposts on a corner. This probably is not encouraged, but in fact the bikes are not in anyone's way. The system seems satisfactory so far.

I haven't kept up with posting about The Pussy Centipede on here, I never used to be able to embed episodes inside of posts, but it seems to be working with RadioPublic.
The last two episodes of The Pussy Centipede were the first to ever be written in advance. Before that I'd always made them up off the top of my head. So far I am happier doing the scripted episodes. It was a lot of pressure trying to do the whole recording in one take and improvise everything. I feel like having the script has improved my acting a lot as far a playing the different characters.
Anyway, check out the new episode and share it with your friends. Also make sure to get the official Bunnula t-shirt (link in menu).

I left my buddy's birthday party at Oxygen. Then I drove downtown to pass out some blankets I picked up at Walmart for the homeless for Christmas. One of the guys just disrespected me badly and told me to get the F away from here, and he threw the blanket in the street. I said the Lord told me to give this to you. He said you trying to be funny….now get the F away from here. So, i got in my car and left. I didn't say anything else. Listen, everybody can't receive your blessing because they think you're belittling them, when in fact, you're trying to help them. Don't ever try to push the blessings on someone, because GOD'S assignment for you is in the Obedience and not the Material. I can't say my feelings wasn't hurt because they were; but I can say life goes on. Somebody else will Receive WHAT others Rejected.
You're Amazing to GOD

Devil May Cry 5 was announced at Microsoft's E3 2018 Press Conference. We got a chance to see the game in action for the first time, confirming all the rumors that had been floating around regarding the game.
The trailer that was shown was given some context. Devil May Cry 5 is set "several years" after the events of DMC 4. The threat of demonic power has returned and a demonic invasion begins when the seeds of a demon tree take root in Red Grave City. The two characters that were showed prominently in the trailer were Nero and Nico. Nero is an ally of Dante who finds himself without his demonic arm.
Capcom is using a proprietary in-house engine called RE Engine for Devil May Cry 5, which Itsuno says makes for a great looking and great playing game.
Hideaki Itsuno and the core Devil May Cry team have returned for work on concluding the Sons of Sparda saga. Devil May Cry 5 is slated for release on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC in Spring 2019.

Love Letter to Quebec
The government of Quebec is introducing Bill 60/Charter of Quebec Values. The proposed Bill is going to ban wearing religious symbols such as turban, Kippa, Hijab in public sector jobs.
Dear Sweetheart,
Hope you are doing well. Twenty two years ago we fell in love with each other at the first sight. We honeymooned for years until you slapped me with divorce. I begged for a bilateral dialogue, but to decide our fate you called for the referendum on October 30, 1995. Although we failed to separate, our relationship never turned green. Since then I have been searching for reasonable accommodation in your heart with frozen tears in my eyes. I wholeheartedly tried to build bridges with your family but your security guards and office bearers shamelessly asked for kickbacks.
Your latest "value" preposition regarding my turban is shocking. While watching "The English Patient" you had shared with me your gratitude towards the turbaned Sikh soldiers that stood between your great grandpa and death during the Second World War.
I hate when I see our neighbors making fun of your 'values'. Since we separated in 1995 we got poorer and poorer. Our next door neighbor has been taking advantage of our situation. Now he is secretly offering a job to our hijab wearing family nurse in his hospital. If she leaves, who will take care of your ailing grandma?
Is it true that our old Kippa wearing family doctor is being sent to an exile? His daughter who collected close to million dollars for the cause of breast cancer and his son, who has been a die-hard volunteer at Sun Youth, are also leaving with their dad. I know due to your deteriorating eyesight, you are unable see the tearful send-off being given to him by all of our common friends. Why don't you try some different eye drops? Use the one made from Lake Ontario. This may bring a positive change to your vision.
Hon, I am extremely worried about your own health. After all you are my first love. I fear you will soon need a bypass surgery as your arteries are blocked with corrupt cholesterol plaque. The poisonous values charter posted on your front door is nothing but a brain tumor that may need to be treated with chemo. As a precaution, please start eating a 'balanced' vegetarian diet. It can effectively detox your brain and avoid any side effects.
I am sorry to say, but the road going to your house is full of pot holes. The concrete from that century old bridge between our houses is falling off. Your uncles and aunts are taking away all the money kept for repairing the roads and bridges. On financials matters, you managed to take away all the pennies that I saved when Ottawa lowered the GST. God knows where the money is going! Even our uncle from Ottawa is complaining about your demands of disproportionately higher equalization payments.
The promises you had made when we were sailing in the waters of St. Lawrence, are dying a slow death like Kyoto Protocol. However, I have been doing my part and have become fluently bilingual and Bill 101 compliant. I understand you are still unhappy with me over too much usage of English at home. I try my best to always speak French except that in the summer, the migratory birds from the South do not understand French and I have to converse in English or Spanish. After you forced Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) to become Poulet Frit Kentucky (PFK), I paid a lot of money to the language experts to translate my name. Unfortunately they couldn't find the compatible noun in the French language. Let me know if you know one.
I thought you will offer compliments to me for over exceeding your expectations. On the contrary, you are now raising objections about my clothes. Only God knows what is going to be your next demand? I fear it could be anything like; sleep with open eyes, sneeze in French, impose ban on the curry powder, new police organization to enforce poutine in the restaurants, etc. Isn't it a systematic way to keep me away from your elite camp?
Do you think if I stop wearing my turban all these problems will disappear? As Thomas Friedman wrote that the world in 21st century has become flat. No cultural barrier can divide the global population. Sweetheart, let us also break our Berlin Wall and celebrate the colorful East-West fusion in the spirit of making this planet both beautiful and bountiful.

Back in 2014 I first shared a comment left by reader DJ, called "The Curse Of The Traveler." I consider it to be the three most profound paragraphs you can read about frequent travel. The story explains why travel can be enlightening while also making one feel sad and lonely.
I know many of you have read this before, but it's too good not to share again, for anyone who is new to the blog or missed it last time. I was reminded of it a couple of days ago, when a reader asked for a link to the story on Twitter.
Here it is:
An old vagabond in his 60s told me about it over a beer in Central America, goes something like this: The more places you see, the more things you see that appeal to you, but no one place has them all. In fact, each place has a smaller and smaller percentage of the things you love, the more things you see. It drives you, even subconsciously, to keep looking, for a place not that's perfect (we all know there's no Shangri-La), but just for a place that's "just right for you." But the curse is that the odds of finding "just right" get smaller, not larger, the more you experience. So you keep looking even more, but it always gets worse the more you see. This is Part A of the Curse.
Part B is relationships. The more you travel, the more numerous and profoundly varied the relationships you will have. But the more people you meet, the more diffused your time is with any of them. Since all these people can't travel with you, it becomes more and more difficult to cultivate long term relationships the more you travel. Yet you keep traveling, and keep meeting amazing people, so it feels fulfilling, but eventually, you miss them all, and many have all but forgotten who you are. And then you make up for it by staying put somewhere long enough to develop roots and cultivate stronger relationships, but these people will never know what you know or see what you've seen, and you will always feel a tinge of loneliness, and you will want to tell your stories just a little bit more than they will want to hear them. The reason this is part of the Curse is that it gets worse the more you travel, yet travel seems to be a cure for a while.
None of this is to suggest that one should ever reduce travel. It's just a warning to young Travelers, to expect, as part of the price, a rich life tinged with a bit of sadness and loneliness, and angst that's like the same nostalgia everyone feels for special parts of their past, except multiplied by a thousand.
Brilliant, and always puts things into perspective!

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — The Keuka College Baseball team lost a doubleheader on Saturday to Farmingdale State as a part of the spring trip to Florida.
Keuka College (0-4) dropped the opener to the Rams 11-4. A late rally in game two for Keuka came up short as the Wolves lost the nightcap by the score of 6-4.
Farmingdale State 11 vs. Keuka College 4 – Game 1
After a scoreless first two innings, the Rams struck first with three runs in the top of the third. Keuka answered in the bottom of the inning with a tally. With two outs, three straight singles by Sean Sheets, Dan Bamann, and Tyler Freedman scored a run for the Wolves to make it 3-1.
The Rams extended their lead with two more runs in the top of the fourth and three in the fifth. The Green and Gold got back on the board in the board with as Tyler Broderick doubled and scored for the Wolves, making it an 8-2 game.
Down 9-2, the Wolves plated a pair of runs as pinch hitters Ulric Petri and James Griffin singled and doubled, respectively. Petri scored from first on the Griffin double. Griffin would score himself on a single by fellow freshman Ryan Seales to cut the lead to 9-4. However, Farmingdale State added a pair of runs in the seventh on their way to the 11-4 victory.
Farmingdale State 6 vs. Keuka College 4 – Game 2
It was Keuka College who struck first in Game 2 against Farmingdale State. Tyler Broderick singled in second inning with one out. Following a strikeout, the Wolves had runners on second and third as Nick Brown doubled for Keuka. Both Broderick and Brown came home as Nick Ladd hit a two-run single to give Keuka College a 2-0 lead.
The Rams would get one run back in the bottom of the second inning and then add to their lead with three runs in the bottom of the third and two more in the bottom of the fourth.
Trailing 6-2, Keuka College attempted a rally in the top of the seventh. A one-out single by Ladd got it going. That was followed by a single by Brooks Vertoske. An error scored a run and advanced Vertoske, who scored on a groundout by Tyler Freedman. But the comeback would come up short for the Wolves as they lost in the second game 6-4.
Up Next for Keuka College: The Green and Gold will continue their southern trip on Monday as they face Springfield College in a doubleheader.

As soon as the curtains open in the theatre, boys and girls are living out the lives of their characters, and they don't stop until those curtains close again at the end. Dripping Springs junior, Connor Bailey, got to take part in that, night after night, during this past summer for Summer Stock Austin at Rowland's Theater at The Long Center.
"Bringing the characters to life, and getting the audience to become attached to them," is what makes it all worth it for Bailey, when asked about the thrill of performing.
"If you can get them to laugh in the process, then that's just even more of a bonus," Bailey said. "When the little kids come up to you at the end of a show and they're so amazed at what has just happened, it's one of the best feelings for me."
Bailey took part in two out of the three musicals performed last summer, the first being a musical by the name of Carnival with Gower Champion directing. Bailey played a sleazy souvenir peddler named Grobert.
"It was a difficult and different role to play," Bailey said. "Grobert was a sexual creep to the woman in his scenes, so after each scene, I had to make sure everyone was okay, since it can be a very touchy subject and create just as intense moments."
Bailey also played the part of a puppet by the name of Horrible Henry, an alter ego of the early antagonist from the play, but this puppet cares greatly for the heroine/protagonist of the production.
The second foray was a brand new musical The Steadfast Tin Soldier by the creative mind Allen Robertson of The Biscuit Brothers. This is where Bailey learned how to properly run a light board, along with the rest of the cast who also doubled as the crew.
"I would definitely recommend any form of Summer Stock Theater to other actors," Bailey said. "The community is fantastic. You get to push your acting to a whole new level, and there is an incredible amount of people there to support you the entire way. Plus there's so much more fun stuff involved than just the productions, some stuff I shouldn't mention, and lots of memories to last forever."
Bailey quit T-ball when he was 5 and attended his first acting camp. Since then he has fallen in love with acting. You may have seen him as Mercutio in the 2015-16 DSHS production of Romeo and Juliet. This is a guy who is genuinely passionate about what he is doing.
He is also involved with the DSHS Performing Arts, and said that there is a ton of things to look forward to in this coming school year. Including, but not limited to, Noises Off! and the DSHS Musical Production: My Fair Lady. Bailey and the rest of the future casts hope to see you there.

Charles Schaefer
Director - Research & Testing Laboratory
CDM Smith
Dr. Schaefer is a chemical engineer with over 25 years of experience in the fate and transport of organic contaminants in soil and bedrock. He currently is the Director of CDM Smith's Research & Testing Laboratory in Bellevue, WA, overseeing a large number of research projects and treatability studies. Dr. Schaefer's recent efforts have focused on long-term dechlorination processes impacting chlorinated solvents in low permeability media, and on both the subsurface migration and treatment of emerging contaminants, particularly PFASs.
Abiotic Dechlorination of Trichloroethene Under Oxic and Anoxic Conditions in Natural Soils (ER-2530)
Bench-scale experiments were performed on soils to assess abiotic TCE dechlorination under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. In the absence of oxygen, TCE dechlorination proceeded via a reductive pathway generating reduced gases. Reductive dechlorination rate constants up to 3.1 x 10-5 d-1 were measured. In the presence of oxygen, TCE dechlorination proceeded via an oxidative pathway generating volatile fatty acids, and oxidative dechlorination rate constants up to 7.4 x 10-3 d-1 were measured. These rates correspond to half-lives of 60 and 0.25 years for abiotic TCE dechlorination under anaerobic and aerobic conditions, respectively. For both dechlorination pathways, measured first-order rate constants increased with increasing ferrous iron content. Hydroxyl radical formation was measured and increased with increasing oxygen and ferrous iron content. Rate constants associated with TCE oxidation products increased with increasing hydroxyl radical generation rates, and were zero in the presence of a hydroxyl radical scavenger.
