The Eureka Community Development Company (ECDC) welcomed Kaitlin Pederson as its new director late last year. Pederson is enthusiastic about her new position and says she'll strive to enhance quality of life for residents in Eureka, South Dakota.
Pederson was born and raised in Northwest Iowa. She spent 9 years living in Oregon before moving to Eureka about 9 months ago. She had previously visited friends in the area and was impressed by the small town's quiet charm.
After moving to town, she was excited to learn about the director position. "I knew it was a good opportunity to make a difference in the community of Eureka," explains Pederson, who has experience working with community nonprofits and in bookkeeping.
The ECDC's mission is to promote and demonstrate innovative grassroots economic development in the community, attract new industry, assist with expansion/retention of existing industries and promote industrial/commercial development in the Eureka region.
One of Pederson's primary roles is working to directly support local businesses. She organized a campaign for Small Business Saturday on November 24 to encourage residents to shop locally. "It's really awesome to have a day to support small local businesses," she says. "Next year it will be even bigger."
ECDC partnered with Empower! Dakota, a branch of Dakota Resources, in 2018 to engage citizens on important development projects in Eureka. Issues were identified and committees were formed to focus on three key areas: improving business opportunities, enhancing parks and building a community center.
The business group's aim is to retain and recruit local businesses. In 2018 the group identified a need for a diesel mechanic to support area farmers. This year, the group will primarily focus on recruiting a mechanic.
The parks group works to maintain and improve the town's parks and outdoor recreation opportunities. Last year, it helped clean up ball fields and city parks. In 2019, it intends to plant trees to replace those lost to disease and age.
The community center committee has the ambitious goal of building a community center in Eureka. It conducted research and center visits around South Dakota in 2018. In the coming year, the group intends to develop a formal action plan for developing a center.
Pederson is looking forward to helping facilitate the implementation of these citizen-inspired business and community development projects. "I'm grateful for the opportunity this position has given me to meet the citizens of Eureka, and I'm excited to get to know the town and its people better as I partner with them to build hometown possibilities," she says.

For a small town, Faulkton, South Dakota has made some big investments in the arts. Its latest public art project will be a distinctive piece by an internationally acclaimed artist that's sure to draw visitors from throughout the region.
Next spring, Australian artist Guido van Helten will use the side of a grain elevator in Faulkton as his canvas. His aim will be to portray the essence of the town through a photorealistic, larger than life mural.
Van Helten has been commissioned to create public works of art throughout the world, from Belarus to Ukraine. Public and private funds were raised for this remarkable project, which has broad community support.
"Anyone who has ever seen his artwork in real life knows that it's outstanding," says Hedt. "He's unbelievably talented — we're very lucky he's coming here."
Faulkton resident David Hedt, who is from Australia, was the impetus behind bringing van Helten to town. One of van Helten's murals graces a silo in Brim, a small town in Victoria, Australia near where Hedt grew up.
"Anyone who has ever seen his artwork in real life knows that it's outstanding," says Hedt. "He's unbelievably talented — we're very lucky he's coming here."
The silo art has drawn a lot of attention to Brim, a town of only 100 people. About 1,000 tourists visit the mural each month, providing a nice boost for the economy.
Hedt hopes the Faulkton mural will be similarly successful, as it will be a unique piece in the region. "He doesn't want his artwork want to become too common. I doubt there will be another work of his in the state," he says.
The piece will be painted on the North Central Farmers Elevator, which sits on the east edge of Faulkton and can be viewed from miles away. The artist will spend three weeks painting it.
The content of the mural will be derived from research van Helten conducted while visiting during the summer of 2017. He explored the area for a month, interviewing people and taking photographs to gain insight into the place and its people for his site-specific work.
"People are the essence of a place. He really captures the people of the places he visits," says Hedt.
Hedt points out that making this mural project a reality has been a tremendous effort on the community's part. "Faulkton has such a nice, strong community spirit with driven people who want to make sure it succeeds," says Hedt.
As a case in point, Mayor Slade Roseland invited van Helten to his farm for a few days in July and spent time taking him around. He wanted to ensure the artist got an authentic impression of the town and its people. Roseland is impressed with van Helten's work and thrilled that Faulkton will be home to one of his murals.
"It's extremely important to the community because the sky is the limit for the tourism boost — not only for people coming to see the finished project but also to come and watch as he's painting it," he says. "On a broader spectrum, it also gives us a chance to showcase the other great aspects of our town and all that Faulkton has to offer."
Faulkton Area Economic Development Corporation (FAEDC) was a collaborative partner in the effort to bring Guido van Helten to Faulkton. FAEDC is a member of the South Dakota Prairie Gateway, a portal for economic development information in Eastern Rural Communities of South Dakota.

Every community is unique. Each has its own distinct attributes and challenges. That's why a one size fits all approach to encouraging economic development isn't effective, particularly in rural areas.
Leaders in Milbank, South Dakota recognize this point. In order to encourage sustainable growth in their small town, they decided to look within. In partnership with the Grant County Development Corporation (GCDC), Milbank launched a campaign to engage citizens in re-envisioning their town.
GCDC Executive Director Bobbie Bohlen points out that taxes and population are the standard measures for whether or not a rural community is successful. She argues that such data doesn't really tell the whole story. "If you just look just at that data, you might think we're not doing a good job. But there's a lot going on here that's not included in that," she says.
Milbank and GCDC led a comprehensive, three-year process to solicit public input through surveys and listening sessions. "We wanted people's voices to be heard. Whether what they had to say was positive or negative, we wanted them to have input," says Bohlen.
Citizens were encouraged to think about the future of the community. They were asked: "What matters most?" on a range of topics, such as art, schools, health care and workforce.
More than 750 people from the county of 7,300 people participated. The community identified and prioritized issues, developing its own "Milbank Index," to help determine where to direct resources for major projects as well as how to measure progress.
Involving residents in the process helped them feel more invested. "It gives them ownership of the community, as well as the work involved and the outcomes," explains Bohlen.
Small groups of volunteers have now been working proactively to improve Grant County. "As we talk to people, they're volunteering," says Bohlen. "People are stepping up to take action on issues that matter to them.
Bohlen cites a recent example. Some Milbank residents decided they wanted an outdoor skating rink last year. So they took the initiative to raise the funds and worked to develop one.
Larger goals were identified through the community dialogue as well. As the city works to update infrastructure on Milbank's main street, residents have requested additional amenities that would improve the area, including green space, benches and light poles. In addition, citizens reached a consensus that the city should build a new elementary school in the near future, rather than renovate the old one.
Improving such aspects of quality of life in the area will benefit current and future residents. Ultimately, Milbank is aiming to attract new residents and bring young people who have moved away for college back to town. Through the "I Believe In Milbank" campaign, the city established a platform for residents to tell their stories — to illustrate that Grant County is a good place to start a business and raise a family.
Whether or not economic and population growth follows, this exercise already succeeded in strengthening community ties and celebrating Milbank's accomplishments.
Bohlen notes that the Milbank Index is a living document that will continue to require community champions to take responsibility for its successes. "There are small and large opportunities in rural communities, we have to engage everybody," she says.

Rural communities across the nation face significant challenges. They typically have higher rates of poverty and fewer job opportunities than their urban counterparts.
But challenges can be framed as opportunities. Did you know that rural towns also have higher rates of entrepreneurism? In addition, rural startups have better 5-year business success rates than businesses opening in metro areas.
A conference happening in De Smet May 8-9 will explore the ways in which entrepreneurism and community engagement can strengthen and revitalize rural regions.
"Rural communities have so much to offer," explains Schlechter. "With this format you can learn so much more about the communities themselves. "Networking also comes easier when you're not in a traditional structured, conference setting."
The Energize! Exploring Innovative Rural Communities conference won't follow a traditional conference format. Rather than sitting in a city conference center while learning about a distant rural community, participants will be immersed in the small town of De Smet. Local businesses will host breakout sessions and business owners will share their insights with attendees.
Peggy Schlechter, a South Dakota State University Extension community vitality field specialist, is helping organize the event. She says the unique format is conducive to learning.
"Rural communities have so much to offer," explains Schlechter. "With this format you can learn so much more about the communities themselves. "Networking also comes easier when you're not in a traditional structured, conference setting."
South Dakota business owners will share their exciting entrepreneurial success stories with attendees. There will be networking and opportunities to learn about valuable tools and resources as well.
Rita Anderson, director of the De Smet Development Corporation, has been an enthusiastic supporter of the conference. "We are so excited to have this innovative conference coming to De Smet and actually into our businesses. It is a wonderful opportunity to network, share ideas and to work together to keep our communities strong and progressive," says Anderson.
The conference will explore four primary topic areas: Funding for Community Projects; Entrepreneurial Experiences; Agritourism and Value-Added Agriculture; and Engaging Community Members.
Sarah Calhoun is giving the keynote address: "Modern Day Pioneering." She has been dubbed a "revolutionary figure in rural business today" and a "powerhouse of inspiration for women in business."
The internationally known speaker and entrepreneur founded Red Ants Pants, a company based in Sulphur Springs, Montana, which produces workwear for women. The company now distributes its products throughout the U.S. and in Canada. Calhoun's nonprofit Red Ants Pants Foundation supports women's leadership, working family farms and ranches as well as rural communities.
"What I'm really hoping will happen is that attendees will leave inspired to lead their communities forward," says Schlechter. "We have so many small, wonderful communities in South Dakota. At the conference, attendees can connect with ideas and energy to help make their communities better."
Schlechter says the event is open to everyone, not just leaders and business owners. "Anyone who wants to grow a business, help businesses grow or make communities more vibrant is welcome to attend."

Samantha Miller, owner of the Farmer's Wife Boutique in Aberdeen, recently received the Small Business Administration's 2019 Woman-Owned Small Business of the Year Award for South Dakota. The SBA presented the Award during the recent Women's Business Conference in Aberdeen.
Samantha started her career in healthcare, but when she was expecting her daughter, she became passionate about being a stay-at-home mother, so she looked at other options. With encouragement from family and friends, she started a women's lifestyle boutique offering clothing, shoes, purses, jewelry, accessories, and unique gifts. She launched The Farmer's Wife Boutique on Facebook in 2014 from her home in Groton, adding an ecommerce site almost simultaneously.
Describing her business, she said, "We enjoy carrying local hand crafted accessories from female owned small businesses. The Farmer's Wife Boutique hosts monthly pop up shops and events promoting local small business owners. We take pride in offering unique Christian inspired gift lines that give back to charitable causes."
The online site was so successful that in January 2015, Samantha opened her first 600 sq. ft. storefront location in Groton. A year later, she opened a second location, an 1,800 sq. ft. storefront in a historic building in downtown Aberdeen. Before long, she consolidated her operations into the Aberdeen shop. With her ecommerce site, www.thefarmerswifeboutique.com, she can also serve customers nationally and globally.
In building her business, Samantha took out loans from GROW South Dakota for additional inventory and working capital. She has also received assistance from the Aberdeen Small Business Development Center, which is hosted by GROW SD. In addition, GROW SD loan officers have provided technical assistance with ideas to help improve her business.
The Farmers Wife Boutique has experienced the ups and downs of owning a small business but has also gained more attention during its existence. It was nominated in 2016 for an Aberdeen Chamber Abby Award recognizing outstanding customer service and was selected as a semi-finalist for the Dakota Rising Fellowship in 2017. In 2018, The Boutique was selected as a top 5 nominee for a local Reader's Choice Best in the following categories: Children's Retail, Women's Clothing, and Greatest Retail Customer Service. Samantha also believes in participating in and giving back to her community. She has organized events in both Groton and Aberdeen and is involved in many charitable, business, civic and church activities.
Like many business ventures, The Farmer's Wife Boutique has had its highs and lows, but Samantha appreciates the assistance she has received from GROW SD. "Your support means the world," she told a GROW SD staff person. "I'm so incredibly blessed to have you in my life and this crazy business venture."

Across the country, rural towns struggle with "brain drain," the process where young people move to urban areas for college and work opportunities. With innovative thinking and perseverance, small towns like Webster are aiming to reverse this trend.
Webster was recently recognized as Innovative Community of the Year Award by Dakota Resources for its collaborative efforts to improve workforce development.
The initial spark for this success was a community-wide design, SD visioning workshop in 2014 led by Dakota Resources. Thirty architects, developers and other creative professionals collaborated during the three-day event to create 22 vision boards after listening to more than 100 Day County residents share their visions for the community's future.
Workforce development was one of the primary issues identified in the design sessions. A team of volunteers immediately began tackling the issue by organizing a workforce development summit.
The workforce development summit brought together 75 business and community leaders as well as state and local educators. The partners worked to develop several possible solutions to workforce issues. This included an internship program, new human body systems and biomedical science classes — and ultimately, the expansion of Career & Technical Education (CTE) for Day County students.
Melissa Waldner, executive director of the Webster Area Development Corporation (WADC), notes that a growing demand for skilled labor warranted revisiting the school's vocational training center that shut down a decade ago due to budget cuts.
"So many of our employers want to expand but they don't necessarily have the people to do it," explains Waldner. "They rolled up their sleeves to figure out how to offer local CTE opportunities again."
The CTE Center is based out of Lake Region Business Center, a large building on Main Street which has been renovated and modernized to accommodate courses in welding, architecture, construction and carpentry.
"It's actually the same building that the vocational school was in, but the programs and space look nothing like they did back then, says Waldner. "Community members are impressed."
This effort has been funded in large part by workforce grants from the South Dakota Department of Education. Financial support also comes from area businesses and grants from community foundations at the state and local level.
The private, public and nonprofit partnership is unique. "Without all of us working together, this probably wouldn't have happened. All of the pieces just fell into place," Waldner says.
She credits Amy Miller, assistant principal and CTE director for the Webster Area School District, with spearheading these efforts. Miller was recently named 2019 Administrator of the Year by the South Dakota Association of CTE due to her work in this area.
Under Miller's direction, the school added a career explorations course for high school and for middle school students. "We are now exposing students to these careers at the middle school level before they have defined what they want to be when they grow up," says Miller.
A new, hands-on internship program at the high school has been very impactful, according to Waldner. The internship program includes both experiential learning and a portion of class time that teaches students necessary professional skills.
Interns are placed in a variety of settings, depending on their interests. They've worked at the local auto shops and manufacturers as well as the newspaper and hospital, for instance. WADC has had interns in its office too. Waldner notes she tailors the work duties to each student to make the experience as valuable as it can be.
Developing relationships between the school and businesses has resulted in internship placements as well as tours of local workplaces for both students and teachers, which Waldner says has been a great learning experience. The tours help demonstrate to everyone that there are exciting, good-paying careers available in town.
"We've opened up a lot of eyes by showing off local opportunities," says Waldner. "Often times, students think they have move to a big city. But that's just not the case. If they do, we invite them to come back and bring their knowledge with them."
Though there are CTE programs like this in bigger cities like Sioux Falls and Mitchell, Waldner points out that having an initiative like this in Webster is unusual.
"For a community of our size to have something like this is really remarkable," she says. "We've been fielding calls from other school districts and we're hoping this can be a model that others can use successfully as well.

Over the years I have found that the month of December is a time of incredible generosity. As we celebrate God's gift of Jesus, our church members find fulfillment in giving of themselves and their resources. One special opportunity is "end-of-the-year giving." This occurs when our members determine that they want to make a special gift before Dec. 31. These gifts may be stocks, bonds, property, and/or cash. A gift to the new Conference Center of the South Georgia Conference would be a great blessing. We are only $250,000 away from funding this project and breaking ground on our first-ever conference office center.
I welcome the opportunity to provide more information about the new Conference Center to anyone with whom I might meet. Please contact me through the Episcopal Office at 478-475-9286.
Thank you for considering a gift to the new Conference Center … and for making others aware of this special opportunity.
Alive Together in the World,
R. Lawson Bryan

Pasta dishes are the ultimate comfort food to me. I totally love them. My waistline doesn't but it's okay. 😉 What I love about this CAJUN CHICKEN PASTA is how easy AND delicious it is. The homemade alfredo sauce is a cinch to make, and the whole thing comes together in just about 30 minutes. A perfect dinner to make on those crazy weeknights.
The amount of cajun seasoning was perfect for my family. Even my kids ate it just fine. I think with the addition of the alfredo sauce helps neutralize the heat. If you're worried about that at all you can always cut back on it a little. But no matter what, I promise you're going to love this awesome dish! Be sure to make some garlic bread to go with it, so you can dunk it in that heavenly sauce. 😀
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
- 8 ounces penne pasta
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
- chopped fresh parsley leaves, if desired
- In a large Ziploc bag, add chicken, 1 tablespoon olive oil and cajun seasoning. Rub and shake to coat chicken.
- Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook about 6 minutes on each side. Remove to a plate and cover with foil keep warm.
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well.
- Wipe skillet clean (be careful it will be hot!) and melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
- Gradually whisk in heavy cream. Cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in Parmesan until slightly thickened. If the mixture is too thick, add more heavy cream as needed; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Stir in pasta and gently toss to combine.
- Serve immediately with chicken, garnished with tomatoes and parsley, if desired.

It felt at once both fresh and sophisticated, and yet very different from the color combinations that I usually see around blogland. I know purple isn't for everyone, but I liked it. :)
So I ordered my bundle and patiently waited. I printed out my paper piecing templates. I've decided to go in the order they are presented in the book rather than numerical order, since I didn't feel like searching around the book for each block. This meant that my first block was #26, Cut Glass Dish:
|FWQAL Block #26 - Cut Glass Dish
|FWQAL Block #54 - Kitchen Woodbox
|FWQAL Week #1

Our services also include room additions like the one you see above in Waxhaw NC.
Imaging luxuriating in the bath above. This Charlotte bathroom remodel came complete with replacing the old traditional tub with a freestanding tub along with richly colored tile replacement. The use of mirrors make the room larger. Finishing the column with a grand column style makes these Charlotte homeowners feel their personal bathroom is part of a luxury resort.
Tile. Stunning tile. Gorgeous tile. Mosaic! There's nothing like a custom tile design for your new Charlotte bathroom. Take a look at the way this mosaic was woven to complete the new shower area and the rest of the bathroom. And take a look at that shower! There's a reason we Charlotteans love frameless showers.

Wood plastic composite floor tile for the current market demand is still relatively large, therefore, consumers in the purchase when used will have needs to pay attention to, the following errors, we will come to you and summarizes some consumers to buy wood plastic composite floor tile into easy, so as to bring you help.
One of the misunderstandings of buying wood plastic composite floor tiles: overlaying large core panels at the time of laying
There are too many consumers in the pursuit of Jiaogan, paving a layer above the keel core board. In reality, the quality of the large core plate is quite different, and the quality of the low quality large core board will inevitably affect the quality of the paving of the wood plastic composite floor tiles.
Purchase of wood plastic composite floor tile misunderstanding two: only heavy purchase not heavy paving
Wood plastic composite floor directly sticking method, suspension laid keel laid thoughts, ideas, whether it is a shop to accept any idea on this point, it is a good choice construction team, and on this point, which will adhere to the "six shop": the wet wall leakage. The ground does not dry, not the whole unyielding shop; confused construction shop; use inferior accessories shop; time too fast, when there is no way to carry out the procedure not shop on time; product quality problems can not be spread; requires absolutely no smooth color not shop.
Purchase of wood plastic composite floor tile misunderstanding three: wood plastic floor is not environmental protection
Some consumers think that formaldehyde containing certain amount of natural wooden when plus, between the veneer laminated composite floor, the formaldehyde content of oak wood is relatively high, not environmental protection. In reality, the formaldehyde release of wood plastic composite floor tiles can only be controlled in the category of national scale, that is, it can be used safely.
Purchase of wood plastic composite floor tile misunderstanding four: seek plain board do not buy lacquer board
Some consumers think board refers to the genuine goods at a fair price for wood plastic composite floor brick, and cheap, but I do not know about the floor caused by contaminated paint itself and the paint quality cannot be guaranteed and so on; but the wood composite floor brick paint board is manufacturers through the machine, automatic production line is relatively high at work, very large eliminated the actual use of pollution, so that the product would be more environmentally friendly.http://www.wpc4flooring.com/

How To: Digitize in ArcView
Digitizing data into ArcView falls into two areas: projected and unprojected
(Geographic). Geographic uses the Decimal degree coordinate system and is the only type of data that ArcView GIS 3.0 can project into another projection.
All sample data included with ArcView is in this format.
With this in mind you will usually want to have the data digitized as
Geographic so it can be overlayed with the sample data included with ArcView
and be projected in a view to another projection. You will only want to
digitize your data as projected if the data it is to overlay is projected.
Themes must be in the same projection in order to overlay in ArcView.
When digitizing in ArcView, if the views projection properties are set to that
of the paper map being digitized, ArcView will convert the shape file as it is
digitized into the Geographic coordinate system. This shape file will only
overlay with data in a Geographic format, but can be projected using the view
properties in ArcView. If the views projection properties are left alone, the
resulting shape file will be left in the projection it is in on the paper map,
and it will also only overlay with data that is stored in the same projection.
It can not be projected in ArcView since this will double project the data,
once by the data itself being stored as projected and once by ArcView using the
view properties.
Dataset: NAD 27, Arizona, West

Whole body cryotherapy can improve our circadian rhythm which is also known as our sleep/wake cycle. Sleeping in a cold room enhances the quality of sleep and so does being in colder temperatures. Exposure to cold produces happy hormones called endorphins and norepinephrine, a hormone primarily involved in the sleep-wake cycle. Endorphins Endorphins are chemicals that […]

I've just completed a lovely baby quilt that happens to look very similar to a quilt I did earlier this year, Danielle's quilt, without the border.
I wanted to give it a pieced back, which makes it fully reversible, I think.
This time instead of piecing each diamond from one large printed square and four smaller white squares (in Flying Geese fashion), I simply cut squares and arranged them with strips to form a diamond pattern. It came together much quicker and used much less fabric. This picture isn't lined up perfectly, but you get the idea.
And this is the finished product, fresh and crinkly from the dryer. It's super soft and ready for snuggling! :)

Best restaurants in Istanbul: Rejuvenated food city
Fat kebabs sweating on spits near Taksim Square; mussels stuffed with rice and sprayed with lemon from a mobile street stall along Istiklal Avenue; sandwiches stuffed with fish plucked from the Bosphorus -- this is Turkish street food in all its glory.
But over the past decade the best restaurants in Istanbul have proven themselves on a par with most other foodie cities, with a diverse offering from international super-brands to cafes catering to Istanbul's growing community of young, creative, fine-dining professionals.
Here's a sampling of the best restaurants in Istanbul.
Mikla has been at the forefront of the city's contemporary food scene since it opened in 2005.
Chef-patron Mehmet Gürs -- a regular on Turkish television -- claims that his food is a reflection of his Turkish-Scandinavian background. He places an emphasis on local produce.
Aegean octopus, salted and dried beef with humus and pistachio "birdsh--" paste and warm mulberry soup with cinnamon crumbs and tahini ice cream are all featured on an inspired menu.
Views over the city from the restaurant's terrace, taking in the Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace, are astonishing.
The hotel's rooftop bar makes great pre-dinner drinks and the views from here are even more spectacular.
Mikla, The Mamara Pera, 15 Mesrutiyet Caddesi, Beyoglu; +90 212 293 5656
Antica Locanda
In the pretty neighborhood of Arnavutköy, Antica Locanda is one of Istanbul's best-kept secrets.
Unlike most so-called Italian restaurants in the city, Antica Locanda offers a genuine Italian menu, prepared by the charming chef-owner Gian Carlo Talerico.
If you have a few days to spare and want to get a taste of Istanbul's revived dining scene, mark Antica Locanda as a must-try restaurant.
It's best on a sunny day if you get a table at the tiny outdoor seating area that looks over the church next door.
Everything on the menu is good, so the best way to enjoy this restaurant is to go in large group and sample as many dishes as possible.
Antica Locanda, Satış Meydanı No.12, Arnavutköy; +90 212 287 97 45
Pronounced "chok chok" ("plentiful" in Turkish), this superb Thai restaurant in Beyoglu is just off the main drag.
Not afraid to turn up the spice levels, the kitchen, overseen by chef Nuch -- a celebrity in her native Thailand -- produces favorites, such as stir-fried beef and curried duck with the addition of dishes like house-made ice cream, poached pear and lobster in garlic sauce.
The décor (all light wood and glass) is clean and contemporary and the small split-level restaurant (it seats 60 in winter, or 70 in summer when the terrace is open) exudes a warm and welcoming glow in the evening.
Cokcok, 51 Mesrutiyet Caddesi, Beyoglu; +90 212 292 6496
Sunset Grill & Bar
Istanbul's first restaurant to add a sushi bar, Sunset Grill & Bar isn't just any upscale restaurant in the city.
The restaurant grows its own herbs in the garden, produce wines in its vineyard in Bozcaada and has Turkey's most precious wine collection in its possession.
Executive chef Hüseyin Arslan and chef Hiroki Takemura form a force that creates some of the best Turkish, Mediterranean and Japanese dishes in town.
If you have cause for celebration, Sunset is the place for it, with a great menu and astounding views of the Bosphorus.
Sunset Grill & Bar, Adnan Saygun Caddesi Yol Sokak No. 2 Ulus Parkı, Ulus; +90 212 287 03 57
Once feted as one of the best places to eat in the Turkish capital, Pandeli, located just inside the main entrance to the Spice Bazaar, has become less ostentatious in recent years.
Don't expect fine dining or consistency from the vast, traditional Turkish menu, but do expect huge servings of meat and lots of bread, with an astringent glass of fresh pomegranate juice.
Accessed via a cramped and winding stone staircase, the restaurant is basic, comprised of a smattering of simple wooden tables -- the one next to window overlooking the market is the best -– but its turquoise tiles and domed ceiling lend it an air of majesty.
Pandeli, 1 Misir Carsisi, Spice Bazaar, Sultanahmet; +90 212 527 390
Meze by Lemon Tree
Meze are small, appetizer-like dishes filled with local deliciousness.
Most Turkish taverns and kebab restaurants feature a long list of these classics, from pureed eggplant and stuffed vine leaves to deniz börülcesi (samphire greens) and fava (mashed broad beans).
Across from the historic Pera Palace Hotel, the chic Meze by Lemon Tree offers innovative creations that change with the seasons.
Classics include sea bass ceviche and şaman bayıldı (fried sweet green pepper filled with cheese, pistachios and onion). There's rakı and a heart's desire of dishes to choose from.
Meze by Lemon Tree, Asmalımescit Mahallesi Meşrutiyet Caddesi 83/B, Beyoğlu; +90 0212 252 83 02
If you're in search of Istanbul's most elegant, modern and chic restaurant, Changa is the place to go.
The menu is contemporary Turkish and international, created by celebrity chef Peter Gordon with Changa's chef-owner Civan Er.
Some say to starve yourself during the day then opt for the tasting menu for dinner.
Changa, Sıraselviler Caddesi No. 47/1, Cihangir; +90 212 251 70 64
Ulus 29
Ulus 29 is an Istanbul classic, with great food, proper cocktails, stunning views of the Bosphorus and a wild club scene.
In the upscale neighborhood of Ulus, far from the crowds of Taksim or the tourist spots of Sultanahmet, this trendy restaurant/bar/club serves contemporary Mediterranean cuisine fusing international selections with Turkish specialties.
Come for dinner, stay for the party.
Ulus 29, Adnan Saygun Caddesi Ulus Parkı İçi, Ulus; +90 212 358 29 29
Popular with Istanbul's beautiful people, the large deck area at this Bebek seafood restaurant floats above the waters of the Bosphorus, offering superb views of Bebek Marina -- the ideal setting in which to enjoy simple, fresh calamari, sea bass and whatever the catch of the day happens to be.
Summer is the best time to visit, as the place goes al fresco, but food quality and atmosphere are guaranteed all year round.
Poseidon, 58 Küçük bebek Cevdetpasa Caddesi, Bebek; +90 212 287 9531
Many food-savvy globetrotters will have sampled Zuma's cosmopolitan twist on traditional Japanese izakaya cuisine -- there are branches in London, Hong Kong, Dubai, Miami and Bangkok -- but the Istanbul outpost is special.
Located beside the waters of the Bosphorus and boasting a sake bar and lounge, a private jetty for guests arriving by boat, as well as a 140-seat water-side terrace, the setting is stunning, even by Istanbul's high standards.
The ground floor restaurant serves a menu similar to Zuma's other branches, with the focus on high-end ingredients and innovative presentation and flavor combinations.
There's a sushi counter and robata grill, as well.
Zuma, 7 Salhane Sokak, Ortakoy; +90 212 236 2296

Black Charge • Gold Rush • Mockabilly Mocha Porter • TNT IPA
Black Charge (5% ABV, bottle)
From its beautifully wrapped bottle, it pours very dark, almost black, with some jewel-like ruby red colour coming through when it's held up to the light. It's been in the bottle some time and poured with a big, thick foaming beige head that's in no hurry to die down. On the nose, it's musty, woody, a bit leathery. There's a note of chocolate-dusted truffle. I take a sip — it's creamy smooth, chocolate and vanilla to start with, espresso coffee coming in on the finish. This is utterly glorious. It's a beer to lose yourself in. I think I've benefited from leaving it in a dark cupboard for three months or so. (30-01-2018)
Gold Rush (4% ABV, bottle)
Deep golden, clear and polished, with good carbonation, this beer — once the bottle is unwrapped from its brilliant all-over label — has grassy hop and biscuit caramel on the aroma. On the palate, lemon pith and hints of blood orange are teamed with light caramel malt and there is a cereally mouthfeel, thanks to wheat in the mash. Nice bitterness on the finish of this very drinkable brew. (11-09-2017)
Mockabilly Mocha Porter (5.5% ABV, bottle)
Hazy dark red / black with a beige head, this beer was a bit flat, but I can forgive that somewhat because of the good flavour. You get the Mocha flavour coming through, then there's dark fruit notes in the background. (15-02-2016)
TNT IPA (4.8% ABV, bottle)
Deep golden with a thick, tight, white head and a good rush of carbonation. The aroma is quite herbal, a little dank, with an edge of hop fragrance. On the palate, the hops are fruity, with notes of blood orange and strawberry, and there's robust biscuit malt to balance with a hint of chocolate detectable (by me). There's not a huge hit of bitterness, but a gentle edge comes through on the finish. Easy drinking and refreshing. (16-09-2017)

The new Hoops In Motion
July 23, 2016
Like an ever spinning wheel, life sets us a challenge when we least expect it, to test our courage and willingness to change…
'Hoops In Motion' is a wonderfully exciting journey, a piece of circus and visual arts, originally commissioned by John Bishop and further developed by Cirque Bijou and with support from the National Centre for Circus Arts.
Film by Thomas Johansson (thomas-johansson.com/)
Infinite gratitude to Julian Bracey, Howie Bailey and everyone at Cirque Bijou for trusting me with such a wonderful opportunity.
What are your taboos?
This spring I literally threw myself into a wonderfully mad journey of self discovery with the world-renowned Gandini Juggling.
If you don't know them yet, the Gandini's are a company of ridiculously talented object manipulators, whose work has been reinventing and reinvigorating juggling over the past 20 years, whilst challenging people's perceptions of contemporary circus all over the world.
I joined them for a 5-day, French run of 'Cløwns & Queens', a beautifully brave and visceral show that comes with balls, plush penises, exchanges of bodily fluids and horizontal juggling.
'Full of sex, but never sexy', the show depicts a mad court full of queens and clowns, engaged in a 'constantly shifting dance of desire'. With echoes of Stanley Kubrick, Pier Paolo Pasolini and Federico Fellini,'Cløwns & Queens' explores the nature of lust and imbalanced power relationships in a brave cross over between circus, dance and performance art.
For me personally, this was an incredible opportunity to explore some of my own taboos, both as an individual and a performer. The risk of juggling on stage for the first time ever in my career, after only a few rehearsals with the company and the specific task of hula hooping without the shield of technical tricks were emotionally charged challenges that stripped me down to my most vulnerable… let alone the actual naked scene on the cold, white lit up tables.
The risk paid off. When life offers you the opportunity to manifest your feelings through work and by doing that, learn about yourself, that's when the most exciting adventures are bound to happen.
Immense gratitude and big respect to Sean Gandini and Kati Ylä-Hokkala, Artistic Directors of Gandini Juggling, all the performers in the company and Le Maillon Theatre de Strasbourg , for adopting me onto this crazy journey.

Black Out Days – LED hula hoop act
October 14, 2015
A revamped version of my 'Black Out Days' LED hula hoop act, performed with latest technology smart LED hula hoops at Jackson's Lane Theatre, London, 2015.

When she transformed into a butterfly, the caterpillars spoke not of her beauty but of her weirdness.
They wanted her to change back into what she always had been…
But she had wings.
Photographs by Simon Yin. Big thanks to Chenghao Liu and Jacksons Lane Theatre, London.
The hoops in these images are LED smart hoops by SpinFX. I can program them to change colours and patterns to any chosen music, which allows for endless possibilities to create bespoke acts and fit with specific requirements and special events. You can see more photos here.
I have always had a great interest in animation and mixed media, so when Cirque Bijou offered me to collaborate on a bespoke piece that mixed my hoops with Howie Bailey's visual graphics, I dived right into it.
The piece was commissioned as an intro to the John Bishop Show on BBC1, which made the whole project even more exciting.. and slightly nerve-racking.
We knew it was going to be hardcore and risky – we only had a few days to research and develop ideas and then put it all together into a live show for prime television.
Yet, despite the time and space constraints, we just went for it wholeheartedly, feeding off each other's passion and inspiring each other through laughter and relatively appropriate doses of OCD.
The result was a wonderful work of circus and visual arts that I hope will lead to more opportunities for exploration and collaboration.
Massive thanks to Julian Bracey, director of Cirque Bijou, and Howie Bailey for being absolute legends. True gratitude and respect also for John Bishop and his crew and the BBC.
Now rock on!

Silvia hula hoops on 'Blue Peter' – BBC
July 10, 2015
I'm not sure if it was a coincidence or through word of mouth, but just before my multi-media performance on the John Bishop Show was released on the BBC, I was invited to hula hoop live on the Blue Peter show…
It was so last minute, everything literally happened within a few hours, and that included running from London to Manchester to live TV, whilst beating a tube strike, in true ninja style… BOOM, HOOP, BANG!
You bet I got a Blue Peter badge for that!
Many thanks to everyone at the BBC Bridge House Manchester, it was great fun!
'Atma' for SmashFestUK, the Albany, London 2015
February 13, 2015
Just as 2015 kicked in, I had the immense pleasure to work with top gentleman juggler Mat Ricardo and perform 'Atma' in his End of the world cabaret at the Albany, London.
It was an 'Apocalypse now' sort of show, where the only thing left to do before the asteroid hit the earth, was to steep oneself in amazing acts of gravity-defying dexterity, laugh and be entertained by some of the greatest variety acts in London.
Did we get hit? Are we still alive now? One thing is for sure, I am still spinning like Saturn.

Meet Betsy
Early in my massage career, as I worked with many clients in many types of discomfort, and hearing their stories, I began to realize that Western medicine was not ideally suited for many situations. With that in mind I set out to find and master massage techniques to treat as many conditions as possible naturally, or when appropriate, in conjunction with traditional medicine.
Chronic pain and dysfunction don't always improve with traditional massage so I trained in Rossiter Workouts, which target the fascia, a stubborn layer of connective tissue. This is often a piece of the puzzle in conditions which even opioid pain relievers don't help. Repetitive stress conditions respond very favorably to these treatments.
Incorporating hot stones into massage brings about deep relaxation easily and naturally, quickly turning anxiousness and a racing mind into a peaceful sanctuary.
The stones can be used intermittently or left on tight, sore muscles to let the deep, penetrating heat further resolve tension.
When there is a scar from surgery or an accident, it can cause uncomfortable restriction and symptoms in other parts of the body. I was fortunate to find and train in the innovative field of Scar Massage, which minimizes the appearance and interruption in function of the tissue.
Lymphatic massage aids the body in detoxing itself naturally. This boosts immunity and processes waste products which can overwhelm the system in times of stress or illness. There is also recent evidence that encouraging lymphatic drainage can benefit autoimmune diseases of the central nervous system, such as MS. This is an excellent complimentary treatment to traditional medicine.

Published at Sunday, February 17th, 2019 - 21:18:48 PM. Bedroom. By Alisz Schmitt.
This bedroom has a white ceiling which, in most cases, would be an unnoticeable feature. However, in this case it stands out, especially in contrast with the black walls. The walls are not just black but also patterned. They are covered with elegant wallpaper. To create a uniform décor, the curtains are also black and the floors have a dark brown stain.
This way a balance will be created. As for the floor, you could use a soft rug or carpet to cover most of it. Since black is a very strong and dramatic color as well as a cold and dark one, you should use elements that add warmth to the décor in order to balance everything evenly and to end up with a cozy and inviting bedroom.

Alcoholic Neuropathy
Alcoholic peripheral neuropathy is a nerve loss condition in the foot caused by the prolonged use of alcoholic beverages. Ethanol, the alcoholic component of these beverages, is toxic to nerve tissue. Over time, the nerves in the feet and hands can become damaged resulting in the same loss of sensation as that seen in diabetic peripheral neuropathy. The damage to these nerves is permanent. A person with this condition is at the same risk, and should take the same precautions as people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Another form of peripheral neuropathy is caused by exposure to toxins, such as pesticides and heavy metals, and is equally detrimental to health.
Treatment for alcoholic peripheral neuropathy may include Vitamin B-12 injections, certain oral medications to ease any burning pain, topical ointments, magnetic therapy, and galvanic stimulation (which is the therapeutic use of electric current, particularly for stimulation of nerves and muscle). Note: Please consult your physician before taking any medications.

It's been a long day today. I left home in Jackson at 7am to Nashville and headed for St. Louis from Vanderbilt about 10:45am. 5hrs on the road brought us to Ranken-Jordan (Pediatric Specialty Hospital) in St. Louis. The ride was uneventful (thank the Lord!). Micah has been admitted here and we spent the first couple of hours talking to the doctors. The hospital is the coolest looking building inside and out. The doctors were really good to talk to. Micah shares a pod with 3 other people. His bed is near a window as we requested and he seems to like looking out the window. Once they get a routine going for him he will spend very little time in the room except to rest. I think there are less than 30 patients in residence, so he will be getting lots of attention from the doctors, therapists and nurses. As you know by now, his time with the rest of the family Thursday afternoon was really great. It was good to see those dimples again! The plan here is to slow down the thalamic storms and provide the right environment for his brain to relearn how to function again. There is no magic bullet here. Only the Lord knows how Micah will progress. Of course our prayer is that he gets up and says he wants to go home. So as he starts this new phase we expect the Lord to continue working miracles.
One other item of prayer and concern has been answered today. We had been looking for a place for us to live for the short term. Through some contacts with family and friends who came to see us in Nashville we were provided with a fully furnished house, rent-free, to use for our time here! It is only about 15-20 mins away. Praise the Lord, He has prepared for our needs in advance! We received the word about this just as we were pulling out of Vandy this morning. So again the Good Shepherd leads us to still waters and makes us lie down in green pastures. Praise His name! Our family been so blessed by so many people through prayer, words of encouragement and gifts of service and in kind. May the Lord bless you richly for your kindness to us during this difficult time. I am spending the night with Micah so he will feel better in the new place. He seems to have settled down a little better after I came back from dinner and talked to him. I am very tired and will try to get some shut-eye. Maybe he will let me sleep!

In August 2015, Stephen M. Ansell, MD PhD, of the Mayo Clinic published a comprehensive review focusing on the diagnosis and treatment of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) in Mayo Clinic Proceedings.1
In a letter to the editor2, J.Y. Luh of St. Joseph Hospital, Eureka, CA, and Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, and colleagues commended Ansell "on his excellent review". The focus of their letter was the Marginal Zone Lymphoma discussion in Ansell's review.
- In Ansell's review, Helicobacter pylori-directed treatment is appropriate for gastric Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT) Lymphoma
- Luh et al. add that radiation therapy should be considered in gastric MALT Lymphoma patients who:
- Are non-responders to pylori-directed treatment
- Do not have any evidence of infection with pylori
- Have the chromosome translocation t(11;18)
- They also add that there is much evidence suggesting involved-field radiation therapy directed to the whole stomach at 25–30Gy in 1.5Gy fractions is a highly effective (CR = 98% over 5 years) and well tolerated treatment option3-5
- Similarly, for ocular MALT Lymphoma, Ansell's review states that using doxycycline as Chlamydia psittaci-directed treatment is a beneficial first-line strategy
- Luh et al. suggest that locoregional radiation is effective in limited stage I-II disease and there is evidence indicating that 25–30Gy is well tolerated by ocular structures6

TEL AVIV (MarketWatch) -- Oracle Corp., ORCL, -3.47% the Redwood City, Calif., software provider, cut 500 North American sales and consulting positions on Friday, people familiar with the matter told the The Wall Street Journal. Speculation on the Internet had suggested that the company would cut as much as 10% of its workforce; Oracle had more than 86,000 employees worldwide at the end of November, the Journal reported. The move comes amid efforts by companies to rein in technology spending in the face of the worldwide economic slowdown, the Journal reported.

We are the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry at the University of Alberta, one of the world's elite academic health sciences centres, where top students are taught by award-winning educators and mentored by renowned scientists in a dynamic learning environment.
We conduct our teaching, research and patient care in accordance with the highest international standards. We work with our partners in education, research and health care for the greater good of the local, regional and global community.
Outstanding areas of medical research at the University of Alberta include diabetes, obesity, virology, heart disease, motor control and rehabilitation, protein structure and function, and transplantation.
Emergency Medicine is a relatively new specialty. Canada's first residency programs started in the 1980s, and focused largely on teaching, administration, and clinical service. Since then, the Emergency Department has gained more recognition as an important interface between community and inpatient care. Emergency Departments are also playing a much bigger role in emergency care and timely therapy for many conditions (eg. sepsis, acute cardiac conditions, airway control, and trauma care).
Emergency Medicine has an excellent, though relatively small, community of researchers in Canada. The field has gained greater traction in the past 15 years; however, the University of Alberta has emerged as one of Canada's top two centres for Emergency Medicine research and ranks among the leaders internationally.
All residents are expected to take part in some form of scholarly project throughout their programs. These projects are defined as "the production and dissemination of academic education or research materials to staff or the medical community" and receive support from the Emergency Medicine Research Group. Residents require a basic appreciation of research methods in order to conduct audits and provide feedback in their future careers.
Residents should acquire a detailed understanding of evidence-based emergency medicine (EBEM), including the following:
Residents should be able to do the following:

Dear friends,
This is my F-8E Crusader in 1/32nd scale by Trumpeter.
I am very proud to say that my article about this model was included in Daniel Zamarbide's and AK's latest book "USN Legendary Jets".
The Vought F-8 Crusader, was a single-engine, supersonic jet aircraft, used by U.S. navy and Marine Corps. It was also used by the French Navy. The Crusader was the last American fighter with guns as the primary weapon, earning it the title "The Last of the Gunfighters".
Trumpeter's F-8E is the first kit of the Crusader in 1/32 scale. In overall design, it is one of the company's best. Surface detail is engraved panel lines, with some appropriate rivet detail where it should be.
Two decals options are provided: the CAG for USS Oriskany from VF-162 in 1968, and the CAG for USS Ticonderoga.
A fully-detailed J-57 engine is provided, which is the same parts originally provided in the F-100 kit, but with a different afterburner can. None of this other than the burner can will be seen when the model is completed unless the modeler opens the fuselage. The kit also provides detailed gun bays for the 4 20mm cannons, and the dive flap is provided with nice detail.
I decided to build the model OOB, without any aftermarket additions, but with some minor improvements from scratch. The model builds easily, has a very good fit, and the level of detail is very good out of the box.
Enjoy the photos!

JingTing Force (JTS-0005)
4. Conclusion
The Jingting Force cooler is an impressive cooling solution, with a copper base and aluminum fins, promising low noise and lower temperatures. Certainly, the Force cooler is a great mod for any PC enthusiast and will improve the look of any motherboard.
The noise levels are low, despite the fact that the small fan rotates at 4300rpm. We didn't notice any noise. As far as temperature is concerned, there's a drop certainly, nothing outstanding, but it will keep your system's main chipset cooler, especially after many time of operation. It will delay the increase in temperature in comparison to the standard cooler while it will also cool faster.
There are a number of motherboards which already have an effective cooling system. From ABIT for example with a solid copper cooler or ASUS which uses aluminium, and their fan rotation speed is at 5500rpm. In such cases, there would probably be no real gain, if any. But for all other motherboards, especially if you feel you chipset may be overheating and causing problems, the Jingting Force cooler may be a solution.

A morning chat will our breasted up partners on NB Lady Kia resulted in an agreement to share the locks to Newbury. Last night we didn't introduce ourselves but that was rectified this morning.
Mo and Gerry made very enjoyable cruising companions. They are stopping in Newbury but plan to continue to Bristol. We may see them on our return journey.
The first lock of the day was Monkey Marsh. It's one of two turf sided locks on the Kennet & Avon Canal. Filling them takes considerably more water than a usual lock so they are on river sections where there is more available water. Being larger also means they take longer to fill.
We passed two boats going in the opposite direction just before Ham Lock. I recognised the first as NB Maisibert and scrambled to take a photo. Unfortunately I subsequently discovered it was out of focus.
The last lock of the day was Greenham Lock. I think this is a very picturesque setting and always enjoy it.
Unlike last time we were this way; there were plenty of vacant moorings in Newbury and we have moored adjacent to Victoria Park. The afternoon was spent visiting Sainsbury's and Aldi before I carried on working with MediaElch whilst Jan stowed all the food.
The cupboards aren't full so further shopping will be done tomorrow.
I must also thank Tim for his email advising red diesel is available from Hilperton Wharf at 69ppl. That saved be having to carry another 150 litres back to the boat this morning.

The body of one of the Shia movement's commanders was returned to Lebanon through the Masnaa border crossing on Sunday, a senior Lebanese security official was quoted as saying.
The corpses of several other fighters had also been repatriated in the preceding days, he added.
Although it was unclear whether the men had been killed while fighting alongside the Syrian army, Hizbollah's newspaper al-Intiqad reported that the commander, identified as Ali Hussein Nassif, had died "while performing his jihadi duties".
A Syrian opposition activist said that Nassif had been killed when a roadside bomb struck a vehicle in Qusayr, a town in western Syria close to the Lebanese border that has fiercely contested all year.
Although Qusayr is mostly under rebel control, the commander was killed along the town's main road, which remains in government hands, according to activists.
Hizbollah, which is funded and armed by both Syria and Iran, has openly supported President Bashar al-Assad since the uprising began, a fact that has lost the movement widespread support in the Arab world, where it was once revered because of its attacks on Israel.
In August American intelligence officials said they believed that, despite its close relationship with the Assad regime, Hizbollah had stopped short of carrying out operations or attacks.
In recent weeks, however, obituaries for Hizbollah fighters have been appearing in local newspapers affiliated with the group without the cause of death being explained.
Hizbollah's previous wariness about open involvement in the Syrian civil war reflects the group's desire not to undermine further its claim to be a "popular resistance" movement.
If it is playing a direct role, Hizbollah may have concluded that the Assad regime would collapse without its support.
Were President Bashar al-Assad to be toppled, Hizbollah stands to lose its supply lines from Iran, which pass through Syria.
