I'm new to NF, but I'm not new to the world of foot fetishes!
I am a 19 year old Princess who loves to get my sexy size 8 feet rubbed, kissed and worshiped. I get pedicures once a week, so my feet are always soft and smooth, my toe nails are always polished, and we're always ready to be spoiled! As far as the delicious scent of my feet, that's another story! Most of time my little toesies smell scrumptious! But, I work out 4 times a week, and boy do my feet get stinky!
I love all foot play, from sniffing and licking, to jacking you off with my foot pussy! Rub my arches and heels, kiss and suck my toes, sniff my sexy feet while I rub them all over your face.
Can you imagine my pretty little toes teasing your face? How about my super soft arches tickling your balls? What's your foot fantasy?
Call me now to start worshiping my sexy teen feet!
Not into feet? Want to talk about another kink? Fine with me :-) I'm open to all fantasies and fetishes!

UFO Sighting Report - Canada
August 8th 2009 : Falls Lake, Nova Scotia
UFOINFO Sighting Form Report
Location: Pioneer Dr, Falls Lake, Nova Scotia, Canada 44°51'48.77"N 64°14'45.35"W
Date: August 08 2009
Time: 22:30
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Light only.
Weather Conditions: Clear, 16C
Description: A very bright red / orange light appeared to move along Falls lake from South to North. About 3/4 of the way along it turned east and quickly disappeared from sight. In total it was visible for about 1 minute (estimate). There was no sound.
From our view point it appeared to be below the trees over the lake, but none of us recall seeing a reflection of the light in the lake, so it was probably not over the lake but some distance to the east.
This is a very busy route for airliners heading to Europe and at least 3 aircraft were visible at the time. All the aircraft were easily identifiable as such with anti-collision strobes and/or visible navigation lights.
The light was very reddish-orange in colour and was steady. It did not pulsate or otherwise vary, except after turning east when it remained steady but became dimmer quickly.
Thinking about it now, it seems to me whatever we saw was a lot higher and farther away than it appeared at the time.
UFOINFO Note: As with other similar reports I asked the witness to have a look at the UFO Balloons website to see if this is what might have been seen and received the following reply:
Hi John,
I did see the video, and it was nothing at all like what we saw. I asked the other people if they saw a reflection in the water and nobody remembers seeing one. This makes me think it really was quite high / far away.

Ethnobotanists study how different cultures use plants for food, shelter, clothing, medicine and as part of religious traditions. Ethnobotany is a young and evolving field. Richard Shultes, one of ethnobotany's pioneers, spent much of his career in the Amazon rainforest collecting thousands of specimens and learning about their use through relationships with tribal leaders and healers. Today, ethnobotany is focusing on the practical applications of plant biochemistry and sustainable harvesting of plant resources. Although careers are expanding, the foundation of all jobs in ethnobotany is the search for a better understanding of the relationship between plants and people.
Traditional Ethnobotanical Careers
An academic career that involves research and teaching is the traditional path for many ethnobotanists. During the 1990s, ethnobotanical research was dominated by bioprospecting, or searching the world for plants and information that would lead to new, breakthrough pharmaceuticals. Today, ethnobotanical research focuses on its original goal of understanding the roles and meanings of plants in different cultures. Researchers also examine how people can benefit from commercial uses of botanical resources without compromising native ecosystems. Ethnobotanical research requires long stints of fieldwork collecting anthropological and botanical data, but it does not always require traveling to a remote location. Urban ethnobotany, the study of how immigrant populations use plants in urban settings compared to the traditional uses in their homelands, has become a key research topic.
Most academic positions also involve teaching. Ethnobotany is an interdisciplinary field, and there is a demand for introductory and advanced courses from students pursuing degrees in anthropology, biology, botany and environmental sciences. A 2003 United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural organization report also stressed the need for more education in ethnobotany as an applied science so that trained professionals can take a more active role in worldwide strategies for conservation and sustainable development.
Educational Background and Salary.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the median annual salary for people in academic careers was slightly above $62,000. Most academic positions at four-year colleges require a doctoral degree. Although some ethnobotanists are hired while they are completing their graduate work, competition for full-time, permanent positions is highly competitive. According to Bradley Bennett, director of the Center for Ethnobiology and Natural Products at Florida International University, ethnobotanists are often hired to teach courses in environmental studies and other related sciences. Bennett suggests ethnobotanists can increase their employment options by broadening the scope of their education and integrating their studies and experience with other fields, such as medicine and biochemistry.
Other Job Options
There are other job options for ethnobotanists beyond academia. In 2009, U.S. consumers spent more than $108 billion on nutritional products, including herbal supplements and alternative treatments, rooted in ethnobotany. According to Trish Flaster, a Bolder, Colorado-based ethnobotanist who has a long history of working with the herbal supplement industry, there is a need for trained ethnobotanists to help research new products within the industry's ethical guidelines. Companies that developed products using the plants and knowledge of remote societies and cultures are required to adequately compensate those people and ensure that any harvesting of plants does not disrupt the environment.
2016 Salary Information for Postsecondary Teachers
Postsecondary teachers earned a median annual salary of $78,050 in 2016, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. On the low end, postsecondary teachers earned a 25th percentile salary of $54,710, meaning 75 percent earned more than this amount. The 75th percentile salary is $114,710, meaning 25 percent earn more. In 2016, 1,314,500 people were employed in the U.S. as postsecondary teachers.

Ankara: Turkey said on Wednesday the European Union was making grave mistakes in its response to Turkey`s failed coup and was losing support for EU membership from Turks as a result.
Ankara has argued that the United States and Europe have shown undue concern over a crackdown following the abortive July 15 coup but indifference to the putsch itself.
More than 240 people, many of them civilians, were killed when a faction of the army commandeered tanks and warplanes in an attempt to topple the government. More than 60,000 people in the military, judiciary, civil service and education have been detained, suspended or placed under investigation since.
"Unfortunately the EU is making some serious mistakes. They have failed the test following the coup attempt," foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said in an interview with state-run Anadolu Agency.
"Support for EU membership used to be around 50 percent of the population, I assume it is around 20 percent now."
Turkish accession talks have progressed only slowly since beginning in 2005, with several key EU countries expressing doubts the country could be ready for membership in the foreseeable future. Similarly, support in Turkey itself for the ambition has fluctuated.
President Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday took a big step toward normalising relations with Russia, meeting President Vladimir Putin in a visit to St Petersburg, his first foreign trip since the failed putsch.
The visit was closely watched in the West, where some fear that both men, powerful leaders critics say are ill-disposed to dissent, might use their rapprochement to exert pressure on Washington and the European Union and stir tensions within NATO, the military alliance of which Turkey is a member.
Cavusoglu said Turkey`s rapprochement with Russia was not intended to unsettle Europe or the United States. However, he also warned the West against the possibility of one day "losing" Turkey.
"We are not amending our relations with Russia to send a message to the West," he told Anadolu. "If the West loses Turkey one day, it will not be because of Turkey`s relations with Russia, China, or the Islamic world, but rather because of themselves."
Putin on Tuesday said Moscow would gradually phase out sanctions against Ankara, imposed after the Turks shot down a Russian fighter jet near the Syrian border nine months ago, and that bringing ties to their pre-crisis level was the priority.
Cavusoglu also indicated that Turkey could find common ground with Russia on Syria, where they have been on opposing sides of the conflict. Moscow backs Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, while Turkey says Assad is a dictator who must be removed.
"We think similarly regarding the ceasefire, humanitarian aid and (the need for) political resolution in Syria. We may think differently on how to implement the ceasefire," he said.
He also said that Turkey was building a "strong mechanism" with Russia to find a solution in Syria, and a delegation including the foreign ministry, military and intelligence officials will go to Russia on Wednesday for talks.

Flashbacks seemed to have become more and more popular in writing. Instead of telling a story, many young authors use flashbacks to show what happened. However, most of the time they're done wrong. So, without further adue, here are some Dos and Don'ts for flashbacks.
DO: Use regular text
Many writers put all of their flashbacks in bold or italics for some reason. This shouldn't be the case. All flashbacks can go in regular text.
DON'T: Put rediculous things in the middle of the text
All to often I've seen readers tell a story, then cut out and use things like FLASHBACK and END OF FLASHBACK.
DO: Incorporate the flashback into the current text
Flashbacks aren't meant to take readers out of the action. Flow with them right into the story. Here is one example:
I sat and looked out the window, images of us together in the back of my mind. When we got together is was a warm, June day. I was reading a magazine in Plant Park when all of a sudden, this sweaty man with the curliest hair I've ever seen went jogging past…
DON'T: Put a flashback in the first chapter
Terrible idea. Why would you want to take your readers out of the action by telling them a story about the past?
DO: Save flashbacks for the second chapter
Second chapters are meant for backstory and getting to know your characters better. The perfect place for flashbacks.
DON'T: Suddenly time travel
All too often I've been reading a chapter and I suddenly see something like "Six years ago:" and then a different story. Again, incorporate this into the text.
Six years ago today, I was walking alone at night on Cass Street when a homeless man approached me…
With these tips, hopefully now everyone will be writing flashbacks a bit better.

If only this dress wasn't white. Like Mary Poppins, you see, it's practically perfect in every way: we love the boat neck and puffed sleeves, but we really love the way this whole look seems to be channeling the ghost of Jackie O. All you'd need would be a pair of over sized black sunglasses and you'd be good to go.
Even the price is practically perfect: this is by Donna Morgan, and it's a reasonable $158 at Nordstrom.
But it's white. And even with the best will in the world, we just know we'd spill coffee down it the second we put it on…

ATV violations
Four out-of state men have been cited by Juneau County authorities for 'operating their atv's without a valid safety certificate'. The deputy said earlier this month, 22-year old Joshua Alexander of Crystal Lake, Illinois, 22-year old Kyle McCarty of Lake Villa, Illinois, 22-year old Andy Watkins of Indianapolis, Indiana, and 22-year old Jared Walsh of Mount Vernon, Illinois, were operating their all terrain vehicles on 23rd Street in the Village of Necedah. The men had not taken an ATV safety course as required. Each man was fined almost $163.

Arthur is a cloud-based property management solution designed for small and mid size HMOs and managers of social housing, residential block, commercial properties, student housing and single outlets. The solution works on both PC and mobile devices, bringing tenants, contractors agents and property owners into one connected platform.
With Arthur, property managers can communicate with other stakeholders and carry out day-to-day tasks in an organized fashion. Arthur's dashboard allows users to have a single view of their entire properties and keep track of scheduled activities. Tenants can submit required documentation before moving into the property, pay rents, generate rental statements, send documents, make maintenance requests and communicate with their renter.
Arthur can also be used by third-party contractors to receive work orders, send job quotes and make payment requests. Property owners can set up different accounts for each property or tenant and manage them separately. The solution integrates with Xero to handle all accounting needs.

After searching around for a product that suits our needs of over 1000 tenants - we hit the jackpot. This is a simple, nice to use dashboard and app that quickly allows us to address issues raised by tenants. The customer service is fantastic, and we are so lucky to be on board with Arthur. There are teething issues of course, but the speed they get resolved is great. I know we are a demanding client of theirs but they are fantastic to work with.
The software initially did not allow us to differentiate between regions. This was a must for us and the boys behind arthur are resolving this as we speak. There is nothing bad to say about either the product or the vendor. When this is resolved, I would give it 10/10 instead of 9/10.
Go for it. You have nothing to loose! And a lot to gain!

It has everything I need as a landlord (26 units) and with mainly student tenants they really appreciate having an app for them to contact me through. Keeps everything in one place and that is great.
It didn't used to have payment systems integrated, now they have Xero which has made it utterly complete.
I have had a couple of times where I have forgotten how to access certain features (like tenancy documents) and their customer support is exceptional. They also take on board any advice you may have to help improve the product which is always nice!

Winter camping requires greater attention to detail than camping during other seasons. Forgetting an item of clothing, a headlamp or sleeping pad may be unnoticed during the summer, but lead to extreme discomfort during the winter. Lastly, you don't want to be the one who pledged to bring dinner and left it in the refrigerator as you rushed out the door. To ensure you pack all the essential gear for your winter camping trip try following these suggestions.
Keep your gear organized. If you keep your camping gear organized it is easy to locate items and ensure the right gear is included on the trip. A dedicate area such as a closet or room for your camping gear is ideal. Try to keep items in the same place and easy to locate. I use wire storage racks to stack large boxes which hold stuff sacks, tents and sleeping bags. I use transparent plastic tubs for smaller items such as cordage, headlamps, fire-starter, stoves and cookware. As your collection of gear grows it becomes more important to stay organized.
Keep your gear prepared. Make sure your gear is clean and ready to go. Replenish items that need to be refreshed such as toilet paper, batteries, cooking fuel, hand cleaners, etc. This is most easily done as you finish a trip and have an intimate knowledge of the status of your gear.
Use a checklist. Consult a checklist to ensure you have essential gear. If you pre-print your checklist and store it with your camping gear you are more likely to use it to pack.
Be clear on responsibility for 'shared' gear such as food, stoves, tarps, and/or saws. You can 'make do' if you forget a personal item, but it is much worse if you were responsible for an item shared by others in your group. Check and double check on who is bringing what.
Make a 'last second' list to ensure you don't forget the last minutes items, such as food from the refrigerator, hot tea for your thermos or clothes to be left in the car for your return.
Invariably you will want to include items to be grabbed as you are going out the door. As you pack keep a 3×5 index card to jot down last second thoughts.

Erica H. Adams' photography series Maya at the Crossroads: Chiapas, México explores the religious diversity and coexistence of the Maya people in Chiapas, México, recording the changes and syncretic responses of this indigenous culture at a crossroads with modern, industrial life.
Marilyn Arsem has been creating live events since 1975, ranging from solo performances to large-scale interactive works incorporating installation and performance. In the last decade, Arsem has focused on creating works in response to specific sites, engaging with the immediate landscape and materiality of the location, its history, use, or politics.
Susan Jane Belton's portraits of take out coffee cups consider the ancient and modern layered, social ritual of coffee drinking and the contemporary Western practice of carrying logo emblazoned disposable cups as an identity signifier.
Gerry Bergstein's Hospital Gurney began as a paint palette in 1981 and has evolved almost unconsciously over a long period of time; a process which has taught Bergstein much in his evolution as a painter and how painting relates to his tragicomic world view.
Laura Blacklow's artist book, "Vanishing Flora, Disappearing Jungle/Las Plantas Muriendo, La Selva Desapareciendo," beautifully preserves select traditional healing plants of the Maya Biosphere Reserve/Petén rain forest, currently under threat from the Guatemalan government.
Bonnie Donohue's photographs are excerpted from an installation about a racially driven 1953 murder of a local bar owner in Vieques, Puerto Rico, at the hands of white seamen, enraged when a young prostitute rebuffed them for Puerto Rican marines.
Jim Dow's photography ventures involve taco trucks, Sears Flat Pack houses, and barbeque joints across the United States, tacquerias in Mexico, carritos in Argentina and Uruguay, private social clubs in New York City, and soccer stadiums everywhere.
Jesseca Ferguson's "Fragment, In Praise of the Book" is a three-dimensional spherical book of cyanotypes, which transforms the text of Meena Alexander's poem of the same title. Text is the tissue or fabric of a literary work, woven of words. Alexander's words have been disrupted and reordered, forming a new sequence as book is unspooled.
Part historical documentary and part experimental narrative, Jane Gillooly's film "Suitcase of Love and Shame" is reconstructed from audiotape discovered in a suitcase purchased on eBay chronicling the details of an adulterous affair.
Julie Graham is drawn to vernacular architecture—that which is unplanned and built with humble materials. With unexpected collisions of forms, materials, and colors, her current work explores juxtapositions that are "perfectly imperfect."
A visit to Walter Reed Army Hospital and conversations with surgeons and wounded warriors there inspired Ken Hruby's current body of work. Hruby's cast paper helmets and grenades, made from pulp beaten from his old combat fatigues, are a take on "swords to ploughshares," a concept where military weapons or technologies are converted for peaceful civilian applications.
Joseph Landry's mixed media, 3-dimensional portraits of buildings are inspired by the writings of French philosopher Gaston Bachelard on the poetics of buildings, the memory paintings of Italian artist Franco Magnani, and by his own childhood memories.
During her sabbatical residency at Sanskriti Foundation, outside of New Delhi, India, Marilyn Levin became inspired by a large banyan tree on the grounds. Working from a tradition of painterly abstraction, with watercolor and ink, the tree's intricate patterns and sensual forms became the focus of her paintings.
Michelle Samour's work has its roots in scientific illustration and collection. The aggregation of related forms resides between the psychological inkblot, mirrored behaviors, and the bilateral symmetry inherent in nature—from the simplest single-celled protozoa, to the complexity of the human body.
Peter Scott's current drawings are an impossible and somewhat hopeless homage to one of the all-time great drawing virtuosi, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. While working from Tiepolo's etchings, Scott approaches his drawing like a musician covering someone else's songs: keeping to the score note for note, line for line, and improvising at his own risk.
During his sabbatical, Robert Siegelman spent time in Vermont and Berlin, Germany, and experimented with new image making techniques and approaches for his work which centers on photography, drawing, and installation.
Jeannie Simms' video "That is the impression we receive" stems from research into an early-20th century actress Sadayakko Kawakami, who with her husband and their troupe created theatrical productions in Japan, North America, and Europe. Students from the Tsubai Elementary School (Nara, Japan) and the Provincetown Schools (Massachusetts) recreate the history of this troupe, challenging representations of culture, trade, and nation.
Prior to the death of her mother, Sandra Stark's pets started bringing her dead animals, as if to say it is okay to look closely at death. The resulting photo series "Nature Versus Not Sure," investigates traditional still life and contemporizes it with humor and drama.
Paul Stopforth explores how arrangements of shapes, colors and brushstrokes add up to the meaning we assign to them. What is the space within which painting embodies meaning? Does meaning lie in a space where words cannot adequately describe what arises in the body of the work itself? Is it possible to empty oneself out when looking at any work of art, especially one's own? Perhaps, and probably not.
Mary Ellen Strom's works unearth submerged narratives in the environment, history, and in cultural discourse. Working primarily in video, Strom uses the language(s) of drawing, painting, sculpture and dance. These media are used to generate an embodied understanding of place by utilizing movement, signs, and metaphors.
Heidi Whitman's paper constructions are mental maps that refer to time and memory as uncharted territory. Maps of ancient ruins and contemporary city grids are part of a layered network that conflates the concrete world with the invisible mind. Connections, empty space, and shadows evoke absence, presence, and the transitory quality of consciousness.
Chantal Zakari and Mike Mandel's "The Shelter in Plates Collection" is a series of commemorative plates recognizing the unprecedented lockdown of thousands of Watertown, Massachusetts residents, including the artists, who were ordered to shelter in place during the April 19, 2013 manhunt for the last Boston Marathon bomber.

An age-old traditional drink prepared from kava roots extracted in water used to be consumed during ceremonies in the South Pacific regions. Later, this drink came to be adopted in Western countries, because of its soothing effect. However, several cases of liver toxicity were reported upon its consumption. The toxicity was limited to those who belonged to Western countries. The reasons behind this exclusive toxicity of kava to the western population have remained unidentified. The present review investigated factors responsible for the toxicity of kava, based on the results obtained from other studies.
Kava extract was a regularly used social drink in the South Pacific regions. Consumption after export to markets in Europe, U.S. and Canada was followed by reports of liver toxicity, leading to a ban on the product. Investigations have not yet been successful in ascertaining the reason behind this toxicity. Several tests have shown that there is an increase in liver enzymes, as a delayed response to ingestion of kava extracts. Although reports from the World Health Organization (WHO) did not zero in on the exact mechanism of the toxicity, they identified several risk factors, such as the solvent used for extraction (water or organic), concomitant alcohol intake, intake of other drugs, existing liver malfunctions, excess kava consumption, genetic variation and liver enzymes involved in the metabolism of kava. The composition of kava and the lactones present in it have been thoroughly analyzed in several studies. Observations on the side effects in traditional kava consumers showed minor symptoms like gastric disturbances, anxiety, drowsiness, tremor, headache, exhaustion and skin rashes, but none was related to liver toxicity. Therefore, this study was undertaken to identify the reasons for liver toxicity in consumers of the drink from Western countries.
A literature review was done to examine possible factors that may be responsible for liver toxicity of kava extracts. These included composition and concentration of individual lactones present in the extracts, extract preparation methods, in vivo hepatotoxicity and cytotoxicity tests on rats. Inhibition of cytochrome P450 metabolic enzymes and transporters, effect on drug metabolism and removal, genetic variation leading to altered structure of P450 were also considered as causative factors. Inclusion of aerial parts of kava in extract preparation, estimation of minor constituents, role of glutathione (GSH) conjugation in detoxification, and the formation of chemically active intermediates and metabolites were included as possible factors.
Data/Results/Key findings
* Commercial preparations use aerial parts of the kava plant, which have higher lactone concentrations.
* Hepatotoxicity was noted in rats at an oral kava dose of ~0.5 to 1 g lactones/kg/day for nearly one to three months.
* Consumption of large quantities of aqueous kava extract could inhibit P450 enzymes, leading to impaired drug metabolism.
* The intestinal concentration of kava is sufficient to inhibit transporters like P-glycoprotein (Pgp).
* Caucasians, being generally constitutionally poor metabolizers, are genetically predisposed to accumulation of toxic levels of alkaloids.
* A minor ingredient, Flavokavain B, is the most cytotoxic element in kava root.
* Addition of GSH showed potential detoxification effect by reducing cell death.
* Certain reactive chemical metabolites were found in kava extracts.
Next steps/Shortcomings
Animal toxicity tests have failed to give reproducible results, as the mechanism of liver toxicity is very different in humans. Future work is warranted to study the role of P450 enzymes, introduction of safe variants of kava, genetic analysis of persons who have suffered from hepatotoxicity, and the minor constituents of kava extracts.
Kava drink has been consumed for several centuries in the South Pacific and no fatal side effects have been observed until date. However, cases of liver toxicity were reported from the West. The present study clearly shows that it is not the kava itself but several variables during processing that result in liver problems. These range from plant species used to other co-drugs consumed along with kava extracts. In spite of an in-depth analysis, the authors of this review state, "To date, there remains no indisputable reason for the increased prevalence of kava-induced hepatotoxicity in Western countries." The mechanism of toxicity is still not clear and future studies on constituents of kava, such as ?avokavains, are recommended.

Broiler performance and intestinal alterations when fed drug-free diets
Abstract (Summary)A study was carried out to investigate the effects of a drug-free feeding program on broiler performances. A total of 2,496 Cobb 500 chicks were randomly assigned to one of four dietary treatments with each group replicated 13 times. The four diets evaluated were: 1) negative control (NC): basal diet without growth promoter or coccidiostat; 2) positive control (PC): diet 1 + Lincomycin; 3) Program 1 (PG1): diet 1 + Bio-Mos®, Vegpro®, MTB-100®, Acid Pak 4-Way®, and All-Lac XCL®; 4) Program 2 (PG2): diet 1 + Bio-Mos® and All-Lac XCL®. Additives were used at commercially recommended rates. All chicks were vaccinated with a live oocyst coccidia vaccine on d 0 at the hatchery. Four phases of feeding were used during the trial with changes occurring at d 14, 28, and 35. Performance values measured were body weight, feed intake, yield, and mortality, while body weight gain and feed conversation rate (FCR) were calculated. Chicks were challenged with coccidia at d 14 to evaluate the protective effect of the feeding programs and coccidia vaccination. Segments of duodenum, ileum, and ceca were removed to measure intestinal morphology. Final body weight gains of birds on PC (2.736 kg) were greater (P < 0.05) compared to NC (2.650 kg), while birds on PG1 (2.681 kg) and PG2 (2.710 kg) were similar to positive and negative control. Overall, feed intake was similar across the treatments with the exception of period 2 (15 to 28 days) when birds consumed more (P < 0.05) of PC and PG1 compared to NC. Cumulative FCR at d 35 and 49 was improved (P < 0.05) in birds consuming PC and PG2 when compared to NC. Overall, birds consuming NC had greater mortality (P < 0.05; 12%) compared to PC (7.6 %), PG1 (4.6%) and PG2 (6.7 %) with most of the mortality occurring from d 0 to d 28. Mortality for birds consuming PG1 was also lower (P < 0.05) compared to the PC. There were no dietary effects on lesion scores or yields of processed products at d 42 (females) or d 49 (males). Interaction of dietary treatments with age and days of age alone showed effects (P < 0.0001) on the morphology of duodenum, ileum, and ceca. Lamina propria in ceca was thicker (P < 0.008) in birds consuming NC compared to PG1 and PG2. This study indicated that feeding birds without growth promoters resulted in greater mortality and decreased performance compared to using an antibiotic, while Bio-Mos® in combination with All-Lac XCL® helped to reduce the negative effects.

BROOMFIELD, Colo., Sept. 21, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Introducing STōK® 48 oz. multi-serve Cold-Brew Coffee: a ready-to-drink smooth, coffee-forward beverage made for people who want coffee to taste like coffee. STōK is brewed low and slow at a cool temperature for a minimum of 10 hours to bring out every drop of smooth, one-of-a-kind STōKness.
Iced coffee is prepared via hot brewing, which forces the flavor from the bean bringing out the acidic, bitter notes of coffee. STōK Cold-Brew Coffee is made with a proprietary Arabica-based blend and uses a higher ratio of coffee beans to water than typical hot brewing. The cool steeping process removes bitterness, resulting in a smoother, slightly sweet flavor.
"We are excited to introduce new STōK Cold-Brew Coffee at a time when consumers are embracing the craft coffee movement at home and on the go," said Monisha Dabek, WhiteWave Coffee Creamers & Beverages Marketing Director. "STōK has been a passion project for our team for several years. STōK celebrates the craft and creativity in making better coffee, with simple high quality ingredients. We challenge ourselves to keep an open mind until we land on something amazing, which we are now pleased to share in the form of the bold, smooth flavor of cold brew coffee in a ready-to-drink format."
- The new 48 oz. multi-serve comes in Un-sweet and Not Too Sweet varieties. The multi-serve is available for a suggested retail price of $4.99
- The single serve 13.7 oz. comes in Mocha, Vanilla and Not Too Sweet Black varieties. It is available for a suggested retail price of $3.35

The island nation of Trinidad and Tobago, known colloquially as 'TNT', consists of the two southernmost Caribbean islands, which are geologically an extension of the South American continent. While the two islands are vastly different in character, together they offer the best of everything one can expect from a Caribbean experience.
Trendy Trinidad, site of the bustling capital Port of Spain, is sophisticated, cosmopolitan and culturally diverse, its vibrancy reflected in its main attraction, the annual Carnival. Locals spend most of the year preparing for the lavish February fling which is an orgy of calypso music and dance, steel bands, food, dazzling costumes and marvellous floats. The chic capital, with its colonial architecture and modern high-rise towers, continually hums with colourful markets, bazaars, and malls, with a mish-mash of Gothic cathedrals, mosques and Hindu temples testifying to the diversity of cultures and creeds that throng the streets.
Those wanting a quieter experience can leave the hectic city behind and explore Trinidad's beautiful north coast beaches or hike through the forested peaks of the interior. Along the east coast nature lovers will find protected wetlands and coconut groves, while down south on this rectangular island are some enchanting fishing villages nestled near quiet, empty beaches.
A daily domestic ferry service connects Trinidad to its more laid back little sister island, Tobago, renowned for being one of the last slices of unspoilt Caribbean paradise. A typical tropical wonderland of palm-fringed beaches, verdant rainforests and sparkling coral reefs, Tobago also boasts a nature-lovers treasure trove of birds, butterflies, flowering plants and shrubs. There are 100 different mammals and 70 kinds of reptiles roaming the island, too, most famous of which is the giant leatherback turtle which nests on the magnificent leeward (north) beaches. To the south the Atlantic beats against a coast studded with fishing villages, while the hilly interior is coated with one of the world's oldest rainforest reserves.
The international dialling code for Trinidad and Tobago is +1 868. To dial out from the islands the prefix is 011, followed by the relevant country code (e.g. 01127 for South Africa). A GSM cell phone network is in operation on the islands, with fairly wide coverage. There are several internet cafes on the island in the main town centres.
Emergencies: 999 (Police); 990 (Fire/Ambulance).
Languages Spoken
English is the official language in Trinidad and Tonago.

Climate Info
Trinidad and Tobago enjoys a tropical climate with average maximum temperatures of 89°F (32°C). Tobago's average temperatures are slightly cooler, owing to the more constant northeast trade winds which bring relief from the heat. There is a dry season between January and May and a wet season from June to December. Annual rainfall is about 40 inches (200cm) in most of the country. Trinidad and Tobago lies just south of the hurricane belt. The rainy season is characterised by afternoon showers and the weather is generally still quite pleasant, while accommodation prices are slightly lower.
The best and most popular time to travel to Trinidad and Tobago is during the winter dry season, between January and May, when the skies are generally clear.
Passports must be valid for at least the period of the proposed visit. Visitors require documents for return or onward travel, and a fixed address for the period of their stay. Since 23 January 2007 all US citizens travelling to and from Trinidad and Tobago by air require a valid passport; this requirement has been extended to include all land and sea border crossings as well. It is highly recommended that passports have at least six months validity remaining after your intended date of departure from your travel destination. Immigration officials often apply different rules to those stated by travel agents and official sources.
The wearing of camouflage clothing, or the possession of camouflage bags in Trinidad and Tobago is illegal for anyone not in the military services. Visitors wearing such items will be asked to change and the camouflage items will then be confiscated. Failure to comply with this rule will result in detention and possible fines.
Entry Requirements
US citizens must have a valid passport for the duration of their stay. A visa is not required for a stay of up to 90 days for touristic purposes.
UK passport holders require a passport valid for the duration of their stay but do not need a visa.
Canadians need a passport valid for duration of stay but do not need a visa.
Australians require a passport valid for duration of stay and a visa for Trinidad and Tobago, but a visa waiver can be obtained on arrival for a fee of TTD 400.
South Africans nationals require a passport valid for duration of stay, but do not require a visa for stays of up to 90 days.
Irish nationals require a valid passport for duration of stay, but do not require a visa.
New Zealanders require a passport valid for duration of stay and a visa for Trinidad and Tobago, but a visa waiver can be obtained on arrival for a fee of TTD 400.
A yellow fever vaccination is required for entry for those entering Trinidad and Tobago from infected areas, and it is recommended that all travellers to Trinidad are vaccinated against yellow fever anyway; those only visiting Tobago do not need a yellow fever vaccination unless arriving from an infected area. Vaccinations for hepatitis A and hepatitis B are also recommended for all travellers. Insect protection is advised, as there is an increasing risk of dengue fever, a mosquito-borne disease.
Medical facilities are limited in Trinidad and Tobago and medicines may be in short supply. Emergency evacuation to a nearby country will likely be required for serious injury or illness. Proof of ability to pay is often required before treatment is given, even in emergencies. Medical insurance with provision for evacuation is strongly advised.
Most visits to Trinidad and Tobago are trouble free, but there is an increasing incidence of crime against tourists on both islands. In Trinidad be especially vigilant in downtown Port of Spain (particularly at night), and when travelling from Piarco Airport where gangs have been known to follow cars and attack the occupants at their final destination. There has been an increase in robberies at tourist sites, including Fort George and the Pitch Lake, and these attacks can be violent; visitors are warned not to resist muggers and robbers who are also targeting foreigners at car parks outside places like shopping malls and restaurants. Take precautions like not wearing flashy jewellery and storing valuables in hotel safety deposit boxes.

The people of Trinidad and Tobago are friendly and hospitable and generally happy to assist tourists, but keep in mind that it is polite to greet a stranger before asking a question. Nude or topless bathing is frowned upon in Trinidad and Tobago and certain homosexual acts are illegal. Wearing camouflage clothing is illegal. The penalties for possession of drugs are severe and thorough checks are often done at borders. If invited to a home, it is customary to bring a gift.
The economy of Trinidad and Tobago has been growing steadily over the past few years and foreign investment is on the increase. A firm handshake starts and ends a meeting. Formal attire is common but not always strictly necessary; it is worth finding out about the dress code for the relevant sector of business. Business cards are generally handed out and received immediately after introductions. Business hours are generally 8am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, with about an hour taken over lunch.
Most hotels and restaurants in Trinidad and Tobago add a service charge to the bill, usually 10 or 15 percent. If this is not the case a 10 percent tip is expected for good service.
Public Holidays in Trinidad and Tobago
Attractions in Trinidad and Tobago are as abundant and rich as its oil reserves and, excluding Port of Spain's Carnival party, much more pristine. Many choose to get lost in the decadence of Carnival or Port of Spain's nightlife, while others lose themselves among the island's natural wonders. These include the Gasparee and Aripo cave systems, full of stalagmites and stalactites; the Hollis Reservoir; and the Caroni Bird Sanctuary, which is a treasure trove for bird watchers. Maracas Bay is the island's most celebrated beach, but the competition is fierce. Port of Spain is home to some charming colonial architecture. Perhaps the most notable building is The Mount St Benedict Monastery, established in 1912, said to be the oldest and largest monastery in the Caribbean.
A ferry connection to the relaxed little brother island Tobago opens up a host of beach and water attractions. Tobago is less developed and crowded than Trinidad and the place to go for peace and natural beauty. The most spectacular beach on Tobago is widely acknowledged to be Pigeon Point, but there are many other Eden-like options including Campbleton Bay, Englishman's Bay, Bacolet Bay and Castara Bay. Off the east coast of Tobago, across from Speyside, the uninhabited bird sanctuary island of Little Tobago beckons travellers, with popular activities in and around the island including hiking, snorkelling and glass-bottomed boat jaunts. Away from the glorious beaches, the best place to explore Tobago's rainforest is Main Ridge Forest Reserve, said to be the oldest protected forest in the western hemisphere and home to more than half of the island's prodigious bird life. Those wanting a touch of culture during a Tobago holiday can visit Fort King George and the nearby Tobago Museum.
Between rainy and dry seasons, October to December and April to June, are the best times for a holiday Trinidad and Tobago for avoiding crowds and too much rain.

The deterioration in apartment asking rents reached unprecedented levels in the fourth quarter of 2008. Almost half of multifamily properties in the U.S., or 48.6%, reported declines, according to New York-based research firm Reis. If the rise in concessions were factored in, the percentage of properties decreasing rents would be well over 60%.
"You've got a high vacancy rate of single family homes. If the owner still owns it and it hasn't been foreclosed, they're renting it out," says Victor Calanog, director of research for Reis. "You've got competitive property types like condos in South Florida. It's the shadow inventory story. You've got an overall weakness in demand, plus the fact that there's shadow inventory fighting with standard multifamily property now that's really putting a lot of pressure on landlords."
Out of the 79 markets tracked by Reis, 58 are showing negative rent growth spread fairly evenly across property classes. For the fourth quarter, the top three markets with the largest effective rent growth declines are New York at 1.9%; Miami with a decline of 1.8%; and San Bernardino, Calif., down 1.4%.
Looking at the nation as a whole, the overall magnitude of rent declines may seem modest. In the fourth quarter of 2008, effective rents declined 0.4%. For 2009, Reis projects a negative 1.7% decline in multifamily effective rents, a number that has never before been observed by the research firm.
Aside from the weakening economy and shadow space darkening the apartment sector, the rapid and extreme fall in asking rents is also tied to the vacancy rate. "In the previous business cycle, this sector really ended the upswing very strong and very tight. It ended the year 2000 at a 3.2% vacancy rate. Reis didn't actually record a decline in asking rents until well into 2002," says Calanog. "Asking rents really began tanking in 2002 and it's not a coincidence that that was when vacancies also broke 6%. Now we're starting the decline at 6.6% vacancy."
In this current business cycle, Calanog explains, vacancy rates bottomed out at 5.5% in the third quarter of 2006 and have been creeping upward ever since. "So there was already some weakness evident in early 2008 but then everything came to a head in the fourth quarter and suddenly apartment landlords were faced with a 6%-plus vacancy rate at the beginning of the downswing," he says.
In the last downturn, the vacancy moved from a low of 3.2% in 2000 to a high of 7.2% in the first quarter of 2004, an increase of 400 basis points. On a more optimistic note, however, from the end of 2008 to end of 2009, Reis is only forecasting an increase of 80 basis points, from 6.6% to 7.4%.
Based on information gathered on the ground, Calanog says that brokers prescribe one of two ways for landlords to lower rents. First, landlords are offering tenants a long-term lease of say, two years. That provides security and income for two years, especially appealing if rents continue to fall. Second, landlords also have become more amenable to short-term leases of three to six months, he says, "because a short income for three to six months is better than nothing."

The ink from my pen falls to the paper in my beaten and tattered notebook far more than I talk about my struggles. Writing has become my escape; sort of a release. I know that most of the words that spill forth from my heart onto my one of many journals will never make themselves known publicly. But that's alright.
What's not alright is feeling like I'll be attacked if I do decide to share how my heart may be damaged. To those who want to love and support us – the wounded – please just sit with us in our pain. Help us by standing beside us as we travel through the dark.
I've been burned by the church myself, and I've heard the stories shared by those damaged in ways I myself cannot fathom. I've wept over my own pain, and more and more my heart has been broken and broken again from the stories of those around me. And to be quite honest, I'm tired of it all. I don't want to hear your Christian clichés and "I'll pray for you", even if you genuinely do care.
My ears have been deafened by the howling of those wolves in sheep's clothing.
There are stages of this process, that repeats itself in a neverending cycle, or so it seems. It begins with the hurt phase. I wonder how our hearts are still beating through the tears and agony. The next phase is always the most exciting: the angry/rage phase. I scream and cuss my confusion and chaos to God. I'm so angry at the way some of His children that boast in you, are so harmful to the flock. The last phase is always the most confusing. I long for intimacy with God. Sometimes, I even believe that I can go back to the way I was Before The Hurt. I feel like I'm finally doing something right. And then I restart the cycle all over again. And sometimes I can even find time to laugh at myself, at how pathetic I am.
My heart has become bitter, and I plead to God to heal my hurt. I'm tired. So tired. Sometimes, all we can do is hold each other tight and walk through the darkness, eagerly anticipating the light to come out over the hill. With the hope of fresh air and bright sun, we tread onward. The scarred and the bruised – we push onward.
I've heard that Advent is the season for longing and lament. And with this Advent season, my raw voice is quietly pleading for the One above to heal my hurt and to bring me back into intimacy with Him.

Misaskim was notified this week about the sudden passing of Mr. Errington Albert Bailey, a dedicated and compassionate staff member at the NYC Medical Examiner's Brooklyn Office. Mr. Bailey was found deceased in his apartment by authorities after failing to show up at work. He was 57 years old. Misaskim is deeply saddened and would like to express our sincerest condolence to Mr. Bailey's family and to the entire staff at the Medical Examiner's office.
Misaskim representatives began interacting with Mr. Bailey in 1986 – many years before the organization was officially established. Mr. Bailey has been a dear friend to Misaskim and to the community since then. He has gone above and beyond the call of duty to accommodate families who have experienced a sudden and tragic lost. This included traveling back to his office after working hours on Motzei Shabbos or Yom Tov so that a levaya can be made on time.
Hundreds, if not thousands, of niftarim came to kvura in timely manner due to the intervention of Mr. Bailey during the past 25 years. He readily agreed to come back to the office after working hours to complete the proper paperwork so that a niftar can be buried right away. Mr. Bailey was always available regardless of the short notice he was often given. When families needed to catch a flight to Eretz Yisroel with a niftar, Mr. Bailey never hesitated to quickly process the paperwork at every hour of the day or night in order to ensure that no delays were incurred.
In certain communities, when a levaya was scheduled on Yom Tov Sheni, Mr. Bailey did all that was needed to accommodate the family despite the fact that they were unable to sign the paperwork on Yom Tov.
In addition, Mr. Bailey never hesitated to intervene on Misaskim's behalf when other offices or coroners were involved. Misaskim always cited the actions of the NYC Medical Examiner's Office and Mr. Bailey's actions during training seminars it conducted for medical examiners across the nation. They served as a role model of stellar community relations and sensitivity toward religious traditions related to death.
Misaskim is deeply humbled and grateful for the kindness and respect toward Jewish traditions that was continuously demonstrated by Mr. Bailey. Those who wish to join in conveying condolences to the Medical Examiner's Office can do so by clicking here.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. But isn't maildir a more efficient format for alot of users? Why take that choice away? This makes searching for individual emails with tools like grep impossible.
Eh? grep "some search string" mbox_of_choice works just fine for me. That is the beauty of the mbox format, very popular, portable, ascii text format, easy to slice and dice with your favourite unix style command line or data munching tools.
It seems that the more you folks try to emulate Outlook, the more your attitude becomes like theirs also. What's next, proprietary mailbox format? I thought I had found a mailer I could stick with for awhile. Let the search begin again.
Given that the Evolution folks have produced what many judge the fullest featured, most stable mail client that works fairly well with <ick> outlook servers, those are some fairly snide comments. Compared to many development projects they are incredibly available and responsive to us user types. Try asking for help, or better yet whining about some feature to the X team... or better yet try talking to Microsoft developers about Outlook. cheers, brad -- Brad Warkentin <brad warkentin rogers com>

But here it is, despite the delay...Which leads me onto talking about perseverance, whether it be hobbies, daily life, interests or even work.
Perseverance: "Persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success." - Oxford Dictionaries
Where would this blog be if I didn't insist on posting (even in this sporadic manner)? If I didn't stick to my guns and start chipping away at a painted brick wall, how would the beautiful brickwork be revealed? Okay, okay so I had a little help but it would still only be a white wall if I hadn't started. A and I celebrated our 11 year anniversary in September. Yes, I'm a little grumpy and he can be a little moody at times but if it wasn't partly for perseverance, we would never have been together for so long and ultimately enjoy each other's company along the way, despite the slight niggles in between. Where would I be if I called it quits each time something doesn't go to plan? If I didn't insist on going for a 10 mile run to practice (even though feeling slightly under the weather), I may never have had a target finish time in mind for myself on the day of the race. And yes, I beat my practice time by over 10 minutes!
You don't have to be a competitive person, you don't need to be a very proactive person to persevere in something. You just need to want to do it. You want to be with that person, you want to run a 10 mile race within a set time, you want to make your office pretty with a lovely brick wall. Stick to whatever you're doing, aim to push yourself and the effort will pay off in the end.
So to sum up this post's topic, here's a deliciously sticky toffee post to celebrate you sticking to your guns.
Sticky toffee pudding is one of those typical British desserts that is undoubtedly no good to your hips whatsoever but is ohhhh so nice. Rich sponge studded with chopped dates, drowned in buttery, creamy caramel-y treacle-y sauce and served with custard/ cream/ ice cream (or a combination of all of all three, as my preference.)
Sticky toffee pudding is traditionally steamed, but here's a baked version, which in my opinion tastes just as good and in the form of a layered cake, even better. I've used Swiss meringue buttercream here- I think it's rather ice creamy tasting - but feel free to use any other buttercream you fancy. You'll notice that I've used meringues to decorate the top, which isn't very sticky toffee pudding-y buuuut...anything to make it look pretty! ;)
Cake slightly adapted from BBC Good Food
Toffee sauce from James Martin, via BBC Food
Yields 1 3 layer, 6" cake.
200g dried pitted dates
175g boiling water
1 tsp vanilla extract
175g self raising flour
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 eggs
85g butter
100g soft dark brown sugar (light/dark muscovado sugar will also work)
2 tbsp black treacle
100ml milk
Filling & Topping
50g butter
50g soft dark brown sugar
25g black treacle
50g golden syrup
300ml double cream
Swiss Meringue Buttercream
165g caster sugar
226g unsalted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
To Decorate
Mini meringues
Butterscotch pieces
Honeycomb pieces
Mini fudge pieces
Toffee Sauce:
- Place all the ingredients into a saucepan over medium heat and bring to the boil, stirring in between. Once boiled, turn the heat to low and simmer the mixture until it is a rich toffee colour and starts to thicken- the longer you cook the mixture, the thicker the sauce will be. Make sure to keep stirring during cooking.
- Pour into a clean jar and leave to cool. The sauce can be made ahead and stored in the fridge.
Cake layers:
- Stone and chop the dates into small pieces. Add the boiling water and leave to soak for approx. 30 mins, or until well soaked. Mash the soaked dates with a fork and stir in the vanilla.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180°C and line three 6 inch cake tins with baking parchment.
- Sift the bicarbonate of soda and flour into a bowl and set aside. Crack the eggs into a separate bowl and lightly whisk. Using a stand mixer or electric hand whisk, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg a little at a time, beating well in between each addition. Add the treacle and mix until incorporated.
- Fold in 1/3 of the flour, followed by half the milk. Repeat until all the flour and milk are used up. Fold in the mashed date mixture.
- Divide the batter between the cake tins and bake for approximately 18-20mins, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- Cool the cake in the tins for 5-10 minutes before turning out onto wire racks to cool completely.
- Place egg whites and caster sugar in a squeaky clean heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir frequently with a whisk until the sugar has dissolved. (Make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water, and keep whisking so the egg whites don't scramble!)
- Using an electric whisk, or pour into the bowl of your stand mixer, whisk the egg whites on medium high to stiff peaks and the bowl is cool to touch.
- Add butter, approximately a tablespoon at a time to the meringue and whisk on low until each addition is incorporated. Turn the speed up to medium high and keep whisking until the butter and meringue mixture come together into a silky smooth buttercream.
- Lastly add the vanilla extract and mix to incorporate.
To Assemble:
- Place one layer onto your favourite cake stand/ plate, spread a thin layer of buttercream on top, followed by piping a ring of buttercream around the circumference of the cake - this will create a dam and prevent any toffee sauce spillage. Spoon toffee sauce into the centre and place the next layer on top. If the toffee sauce is a little firm from being in the fridge, warm in the microwave 5 secs a time until spoonable consistency.
- Repeat the process again until you have 3 stacked cake layers. Crumb coat the cake with buttercream and chill for half an hour in the fridge.
- Once chilled, smooth another layer of buttercream on the cake - this doesn't have to be terribly neat. I preferred smooth(ish) sides on mine.
- Drizzle more toffee sauce on top and decorate with fudge/ butterscotch/ honeycomb pieces, as well as meringues.
- I've used two types of meringue to decorate - shop bought mini meringues and piped swiss meringue, torched lightly with a blowtorch. I've not included a recipe for the piped meringue, as it was something I had left over from a previous bake. Feel free to omit the latter, if you wish.

Do Accelerated Antibody Production Protocols Work?
Given the increasingly fast pace with which research is conducted, it's natural that scientists want to obtain a custom antibody as quickly as possible. This is a pressure felt by companies that develop custom antibodies and has led to the introduction of accelerated protocols that promise ready-to-use antibodies in as little as 28 days.
