New to Florida, I figured that Potato sausage would be unavailable. This sausage brought back memories for my family this year. Thanks.

I live in Pennsylvania where there is a Swedish community here in Erie but they seem to be unaware of traditional Swedish food. Geier's came to the rescue, so to speak. thank you so much.
Different korv this year
Posted by Lynn on Dec 15th 2017
Why did you change your korv recipe? It looks different, cooks different and tastes different now. Much preferred it in previous years, and I've been buying from you for years.
Posted by Mike on Nov 7th 2017
I had purchased some from a different place while traveling a few years back. Nostalgia struck and I began to search the internet for a company that ships. The flavor was just as I remembered and it was packaged nicely.
I ordered two, but the only issue that I has was that the description says "Korv 1.25 lbs", but I received one package labeled 1.04 lbs and one labeled 0.96 lbs. Not sure what happened there.
Just like I remember
Posted by Unknown on Jan 3rd 2017
We loved the Swedish Korv. It's just like we remember growing up at the family's Swedish Smorgasbord on Christmas Eve. I have tried a few others over the years and I couldn't find any which would compare. Thank you!

As I sit here writing this the rain is beating down on the window and I am all wrapped up in fluffy socks and a fluffy dressing gown which is pretty fitting given the theme of this months box – Cosy at Home!
This has to be one of my favourite boxes I have received over the past year or so, 2 full size products and a few awesome samples plus I loved the prints that were included in the box especially the teacup print.
I have received a few Beauty Protector products in previous boxes and I do love the range. I was so glad to see this product as I have not had my hair cut in over 10 weeks now and the ends definitely needed some TLC.
This product has argon oil, honey and amber which gives it a really lovely sweet scent and according to the packet the ingredients also include crushed pearls! This had made the ends of my hair feel a lot less dry and it does seem a lot shinier too.
I had never actually heard of this brand until I received this months Birchbox but after having a quick search online I found a lot of positive reviews, which is always good.
The Turnover Booster is a gel that turns into a liquid when placed on the skin and the ingredients boast 7 different key vitamins.
I have only used this product twice so I can't currently see a noticeable difference but I am going to continue to use it as I really like the texture when applied to the skin and the feel of my skin after. Also, the scent of this product is not overpowering like some other products I have tried. I would really like to try some of the other products in the Dr Jart range as I have read nothing but great things about the toner and cleansing foam.
I am hopefully going to purchase these products soon so watch this space, a full product review on all three products used together may be live very soon!
I was a slightly disappointed when I saw this product in my box, not because it's not a great product but because I have received it before and I prefer to try new products.
This body oil does smell amazing as it has a strong citrus smell which is one of my favourite scents for shower and bath products.
This oil makes your skin feel silky smooth after applying, but I would recommend waiting for it to dry properly before trying to put on jeans as it can be a little bit difficult!
This is the second of the full size products in this months box and I love it! OPI is one of my go to brands for nail polish and their new Coca-Cola collection is amazing. The shade I received is A Grape Affair! and this is the perfect shade for the winter and it does also match my hair.
OPI's ProWide brush is one of the best brushes to apply polish with, it glides on easily and allows for a streak-free finish.
I've taken a look at the Coca-Cola collection, (here), and there are a few other colours that I fancy treating myself to including Get Cherried Away and Bearest of Them All!

The Send // 11/22/2014
I recently spent some time looking back over a years worth of work for a slideshow. I've seen the most progression of my work up to date this past year. I believe the reason my craft has improved is because I chose to study my subjects with intent. Three constant themes that I identified in my subjects were: Vision, Passion, and Effort. It takes time to progress our craft + a baseline threshold of talent. Being humble and open to learning throughout the entire process has allowed me to take advantage of opportunities that arise.
The individuals that I get to shoot with are so incredibly talented because of their vision, passion and effort that they put into their craft. My goal as a photographer is to document what makes people passionate. I truly believe that passionate, creative people help make the world a better place. If my work encourages just one person to pursue what makes them passionate, I view that as success.
November 22 was a cold and stormy day in Hyalite Canyon. Conrad Anker and Kris Erickson had a vision that began a couple years ago. It was a project that was about something bigger than them. A new route that paid tribute to their friend Alex Lowe. The passion both Kris and Conrad had is what kept the motivation high throughout this project. Kris moved to Morocco last year. Conrad visited the third pitch every month since July figuring out the pieces to the puzzle. Kris was back in town and it was fitting for them both to be tied into the ends of the rope together. Freeing the third and final pitch which had yet to be freed, while establishing the Nutcracker.
A lesson, for me, of the vision, motivation and effort it takes to progress my craft. It will not be easy or happen quickly. It is about who I choose to surround myself with that motivates me, pushing me to be better.

Yes please, pass me the carrots…
I didn't know what to expect from this recipe because I had never used cardamom before. I purchased the small and pricey jar of spice specifically for this recipe. My hope was that it would be a good addition that could be tasted, appreciated and like no other spice in my cabinet.
All I can tell you is it that I've made these carrots a few times since. They're THAT good. The addition of the cardamom is warm and inviting and pairs perfectly with carrots! The small jar of pricey cardamom will be used on a regular basis in my kitchen. Thanks Dorie!
On a simple side note, I also added a slight bit of honey and brown sugar to bring a little touch of sweet to the party. Warm, sweet, spicy and colorful. The perfect side dish!!!
This recipe can be found on page 335 of Dorie Greenspan's cookbook "Around My French Table" along with so many other delightful and delicious recipes. You'll love this book! Oh, and I highly recommend adding cardamom to your spice cabinet if you haven't already. I think you'll love that too 🙂

- Khloe Kardashian wrote on her website that her body does not produce enough breast milk to feed her daughter, True, and therefore relies on a formula machine to supplement her milk.
- The machine is called the Baby Brezza Formula Pro One-Step Bottle Maker and is priced at $180.
- In minutes, the machine can mix formula to the perfect consistency and temperature with the push of a button.
- Lactation consultant Betty Greenman told INSIDER that bottle feeding can cause breasts to produce less milk, but there is a slew of other reasons which can also affect lactation.
The Kardashian family is known for sharing almost every intimate detail about their lives and Khloe Kardashian is no exception. She loves to share her best life hacks on her personal website and app — everything from the beauty products she is into, to which snacks she relies on to get through the day.
Since Kardashian became a mother to True Thompson back in April, we've been waiting for her to share parenting hacks as she discovers them. On Wednesday, Kardashian wrote that over the last two months, she has been relying on the Baby Brezza Formula Pro One-Step Bottle Maker, calling the machine a "total lifesaver."
Kardashian explained she does choose to breastfeed her daughter, however, she does not produce enough milk for that alone to suffice.
On her app, Kardashian wrote, "Technically, I don't need something like this because I breastfeed, but because I don't produce enough milk, I also have to give a bottle with every feeding."
With a push of a button, the machine measures and mixes water and a formula of choice to create the ideal bottle of milk, both in temperature (98 degrees) and consistency. The machine works with a variety of bottle sizes and can make 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 ounces of milk at a time.
"It's super easy to use," Khloe wrote. "And fast, so when I'm exhausted and can't even keep even keep my eyes open in the middle of the night, it's a total lifesaver." And it's not just Kardashian who has found magic in the simple machine. Target wrote on its website that the bottle maker is the top item on their Baby Registry.
Many fans on Twitter responded to Khloe to say how adorable True is and thank her for speaking out about the challenges of breastfeeding.
—ptatum (@ptatum) June 6, 2018
—Nell (@songbirdnell) June 8, 2018
Some others, however, warned that using the machine could be the cause of her low milk production.
—Teri Stoddard (@teriincali) June 7, 2018
It's not uncommon that introducing formula can affect the amount of breast milk new moms are producing.
INSIDER spoke to Betty Greenman, an international board-certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) serving the Greater New York area, who said there is validity in the forewarning tweets.
"Your supply of breast milk depends on your baby's demand for it, so the less often your baby breastfeeds, the less your breasts will produce," she said. "The more you breastfeed your baby, the more the body makes. So, introducing a bottle of formula reduces the amount of milk a mother is able to produce while breastfeeding."
Greenman said however, it is important to note there are plenty of other reasons a mother's milk supply could be low — hormonal and endocrine problems, high or low thyroid levels, diabetes, hypertension, high blood pressure, previous breast surgery, certain medications and anemia to name a few.
Additionally, babies who have a hard time latching on to the breast could prevent a full milk supply.
Still, that doesn't mean that feeding babies formula is wrong. Every parent needs to make the best choice for them.
Greenman told INSIDER there are different options for mothers who want to produce more milk such as pumping, lactation cookies, pills, ginger tea and avoiding the bottle. But, she said, many mothers need to be using formulas. If a baby is not gaining proper weight or is exceptionally fussy, formula is often the answer.
As for the bottle machine, she's with Kardashian. "With a push of a button, you can prepare a bottle. Any machine that saves parents time is a good investment," Greenman said. "New moms spend a lot of time feeding and caring for their newborn. A machine that pre-makes bottles is a great idea. It is convenient and gives accurate measurements of water/formula ratios."
At the end of the day, like all things when it comes to parenting, there is no one correct answer and if the Baby Brezza Formula Pro One-Step Bottle Maker is what Khloe loves, Greenman said there is nothing wrong with this.

BIA's annual tour will showcase latest in home design June 17-25
If you toured some of the 52 homes on the first Parade of Homes back in 1991, you probably encountered a fair share of oak kitchen cabinets, brass fixtures and lots of wallpaper, too.
It's safe to say you'll notice something quite different when you tour this year's entries on the Parade, which kicks off Saturday, June 17.
A lot has changed since the Building Industry Association of Lancaster County launched this annual event 26 years ago — and not just in home design.
While the main goal of the first Parade was to boost home sales amidst an early '90s recession, it has since evolved into so much more.
The success of the Parade can be measured on many levels, says Melanie Capanelli, director of programs and communications for the BIA.
"The builders think it's a wonderful tool for them," she says.
Visitors to the Parade may not be looking to buy a home, but they're definitely taking notice.
"It's a good way to showcase you're quality of work and the diversity of different homes," says Janet Metzler of Metzler Home Builders. "People love to come and get ideas."
These days, the Parade of Homes is as much about inspiration as home sales, which is why you'll always find the latest trends in home design and decor in the tour homes.
So what's changed over the past quarter century? Plenty.
For one, home styles themselves have changed, Metzler says, from a more traditional, Colonial or French country style of the '90s to today's popular modern, farmhouse and Craftsman styles.
And those raised-panel oak cabinets? They've taken a back seat, too, to woods like maple and cherry, says Greg Miller of Merv Miller Builder.
Flat-panel, Shaker-style cabinetry is also the popular choice today, Metzler says.
Finishes like satin nickel and matte black have given brass the boot. And those bold wallpapered and faux-painted walls are passé.
In general, kitchens have undergone a huge transformation from the early days of the Parade of Homes, with hard-surface countertops, soft-close drawers and stainless steel or slate-colored appliances replacing the laminate countertops and bisque finishes that were once considered on-trend.
Appliances have also gone to a new level, with built-in microwaves that look like part of the wall and professional-grade ovens that can cost as much as $12,000, Miller says. "They're made for residential homes, but they look like commercial kitchen stoves," he says.
Even kitchen flooring has changed.
"Hardwood in the kitchen used to be a no-no," Miller notes. Not anymore.
In fact, flooring choices abound, with engineered hardwood that won't shift or shrink and luxury vinyl options that can cost as much as tile.
Gone are those '90s days of wall-to-wall carpet in varying colors and Oriental carpet runners on the stairs, Metzler says. Today, hardwood or luxury vinyl plank are popular in main living areas, with neutral carpet in bedrooms, and painted risers and stained treads on the stairs.
Bathrooms, in particular master baths, have also seen an upgrade over the past 26 years. Parade homes of the early '90s may have showcased corner vanities with space for a makeup area, whirlpool tubs, and biscuit-colored bath fixtures with brass faucets and hardware.
"Today, we're seeing custom tile showers with freestanding tubs and white bath fixtures with chrome or satin nickel faucets," Metzler says, noting his-and-hers vanities are also popular.
Home features are not the only evolving trends. Floor plans have changed as well to reflect changing lifestyles.
"Back in the '90s, you were still stuck on all your formal rooms," Miller says. Many of today's homes forgo formal dining and living rooms for open floor plans where kitchen, dining and living areas blend seamlessly into one another.
Home's today are brighter, too, Miller says, thanks to recessed lighting and larger windows that let in plenty of natural light.
Then there are the trends that you can't necessarily see, Miller says, like increased energy efficiency with improved insulation and zoned heating. Or the use of engineered wood joists and headers that won't cause sinking like conventional lumber.
For those who build custom homes, their customers are also playing a larger role in home design than they did in the '90s, thanks to popular websites like Pinterest and Houzz that put an endless array of design ideas at their fingertips. Those websites have made building both fun and challenging, Metzler says, largely because a lot of those great ideas come at an additional cost.
"While they see all these things that they would love to have included in their homes, it puts them over their price point," she says.
So how long will these latest trends last? That's the million-dollar question.
"I think everybody in the industry is trying to figure out what the next generation will want," Miller says.
He's seeing smaller spaces and an industrial feel in the future.
For those sitting at home staring at their '90s-era oak kitchens and wallpapered or sponge-painted walls, take heart. Wallpaper is making a comeback, although more as an accent. Brass is making a comeback, too.
"It's like anything else. It's cyclical," Metzler says.
But if you're ready for a change, inspiration awaits at this year's Parade of Homes.
The Parade of Homes runs June 17-25. Hours are 5 to 8 p.m. daily and noon to 6 p.m. on weekends. For more information, visit www.lancasterbuilders.org and check out the special advertising supplement in today's LNP.

January 14, 2016 - January 24, 2016
Starring Rose Passione
While the 1960's added some incredible folk and rock musicians to the airwaves of America (Bob Dylan, The Beatles, The Byrds), none had quite the impact of the two boys from Queens, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. Both had beautiful voices and both brought their own particular brand of creativity to their music. While their relationship, break-ups and reunions made the papers, their music touched our hearts and continues to evoke the memories and feelings of our youth. Spotlight On Simon & Garfunkel features a little biography... and a lot of music, including The Sound of Silence, I Am A Rock, Scarborough Fair/Canticle, Mrs. Robinson, and more.

Burgess Meredith (above, left) must be the actor most associated with author Octave Mirbeau — he stars in the Amicus horror compendium TORTURE GARDEN, which admittedly owes nothing but its title to Mirbeau's Le Jardin des Supplices, but he also scripted and appears in Jean Renoir's film of THE DIARY OF A CHAMBERMAID.
Renoir and Meredith do right by Mirbeau's unfilmable (but filmed several times: once by Bunuel) book, by making a film which one cannot conceive of as a Hollywood product. Paulette Goddard, who has turned hard-hearted after unspecified mistreatment by men and by the upper classes, enters her new position determined to find a rich husband and leave behind the world of manual toil. Immediately we sense trouble, as the mistress of the house is Judith Anderson. The master is kindly duffer Reginald Owen in a Boudou beard, playing a dreamy sort of Lord Emsworth dolt. Further eccentricity is provided by neighbour Burgess Meredith himself, who eats flowers and throws stones (but never the other way around — stones have no flavour).
Meredith seems like possible husband material, which shows how hard up Paulette is. He has money salted away, but when Paulette's attentions over-excite him and he accidentally kills his beloved pet squirrel, she starts to suspect that being his fiancée might be fraught with peril.
Does this sound like a Hollywood movie so far?
Then the young master comes home from his debauches, and he is Hurd Hatfield, which means that Paulette is sharing house with Dorian Gray, Mrs Danvers, Sherlock Holmes, Dr Watson and Ebeneezer Scrooge (Owen played the latter three). With the Penguin living just across the way. Anderson/Danvers sets about pimping out the new maid to persuade her psycho son, who is the apple of her eye but who despises her fervently, to stick around the family pile.
Hatfield is a surly invalid who reads the grimmer bits of Shakespeare ("Make thy two eyes, like stars, start from their spheres…"), clearly meant to suggest Sade. To Paulette, he seems a potential mark, but his mood swings and unhealthy relationship with mother tend to rule him out. Then a new prospect emerges from an unlikely quarter. Valet Francis Lederer (from CONFESSIONS OF A NAZI SPY and PANDORA'S BOX) proposes buying a bar with loot raised by stealing the silverware, and Paulette is amenable.
The film's only turn towards conventional Hollywood morality is Paulette's last-minute conversion to righteousness after Lederer stoops to murder. Even then, the conventional romantic solution is undercut by an earlier, throwaway moment when Owen, reading the Paris newspaper, remarks upon the latest case of murder — WOMAN MUTILATED! — and we ask herself, who has been in Paris? Why has the line been placed there? What are you implying, Jean Renoir? As the happy couple head off into the sunset, we recall that both of them had been in Paris not long before…
Bottom-scraping indie Benedict Bogeaus produced, and the film has a cheap feel — Eugene Lourie's sets don't convince, nor do they create a particularly alluring sense of fakery, and to be honest Renoir doesn't do the best job of concealing the threadbare cyclorama. But he does whirl the camera about with some brio at the violent climax, and this may be the one US film on his CV that hits the notes of unsettling, tone-clashing weirdness that we find in some of his French films (the Lourie-designed RULES OF THE GAME, for one). Hurd Hatfield believed that Paulette was all wrong for the movie due to her "cheap-sounding" American accent, but in a movie where Lederer's German and Owen's English accents both represent French characters, where should one look for a barometer of linguistic authenticity? As with CLUNY BROWN (Owen's second role as lord of the manor that year), Brits above stairs and Yanks below makes a feasible and not too distracting scheme.
Francis L has a special spike for slowly murdering geese. Because that's how he rolls.
We rather loved it. We watched SWAMP WATER the following night, and that one is a proper terrific film, but DOAC is bananas, the kind of thing where you can't figure out why it exists but you're glad it does. Fiona and I recognized it as a kindred spirit.

After a while of custom sorting the order of photos and stacks within a collection (using Grid View), Lightroom starts to unpredictably refuse to sort photos. Some will get positioned where I drop them, others won't move at all and yet others will get positioned somewhere close by (eg. 4 or 5 photos before or after).
After digging into the catalog file I've come across what I think is the problem, but don't know how to fix it. In the attached file you'll see a screenshot of the database table for the collection, you'll see I've hilited the images that are part of the same collection, but their positionId is identical (which should never happen I'm assuming), probably due to the field size reaching it's maximum length. This is what I believe is causing the problem. Tested this on both Lightroom 5.7 and CC 2015.8.
This is a major bug and effectively stops user sorting from being functional, as well as now having potentially lost weeks of work. Any suggestions?
I am sending you an e-mail off-list to get some more details.
As to what Ryan (above) mentioned, the virtual copies getting scrambled, this has to be the most frustrating part of this experience. Even after exiting LR, reopening, and going back to my collection, I still can't move around the pictures that are now out of order. Thanks a lot.
The Lightroom Classic team marked this issue as fixed in 8.3 based upon the confirmation of the original reporter of the issue. It appears now that the issue was fixed with regard to the 52 image threshold but is still encountered at higher numbers of images.
I've reopened the bug and am looking for more information regarding how many images it takes to break the reordering. Can you provide me with solid numbers of how many images it takes to break?
and it still fails the same way. I tried with significantly fewer photos and couldn't observe any problems. But this test surely points at some problems with the current renumbering algorithm.
PS - I have noticed that this random re-sorting primarily targets images I have color labeled Red - but not ALL images labeled Red, just some of them. Occasionally a non-color labeled image will move but I would say that 95% of the time its a Red that's moved. This seems somehow baked into the algorithm. I generally don't use other color labels, so I can't confirm or deny that it affects Reds as opposed to certain other colors.
Unfortunately, the collection ordering has been broken at least back to LR 5.7.
LR 8.3 changed the ordering algorithm in an attempt to fix the bug, changing the observed behavior, but it's still buggy for both collections and folders. That you observed the bug in 8.3 but not in 8.0 is unsurprising -- the bug's behavior isn't completely understood (it's a bug after all).
If you have a precise step-by-step recipe for reproducing the bug that's substantially different than this one:
then please post it here. The posted recipe requires moving large blocks of photos within a collection or folder, repeatedly, which doesn't represent typical user behavior and thus might be prone to de-prioritization by Adobe product managers when deciding on which bugs to fix.
I previously posted this in another Adobe forum and received no official response.
Win10 Laptop
All actions are performed on a brand new catalog with 100 images (0.jpg-99.jpg) copied from the same original image.
(same creation date)
I selected all images except the first 2. (So 2-99) I then dragged them to be between 0 and 1.
Next deselected only the first of my selected images (2) and dragged the rest between the first 2 images.
I repeated this until all images were moved. (0, 100, 99, 98, .....)
Next I repeated the above, selected all images but the first 2 and moved them between the first 2, deselected 1 image from my group each time.
Eventually I got to a gallery view of 0, 73, 72, 71, 70, ....... 1 74, 75, ..... 100 which 72->1 selected.
When I moved the group of 72->1 between 0 and 73 the ordered was invalid.
I ended up with 0, 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, ...... not what I expected (0, 72, ......)
Thanks for the reproducible steps. (The issue is reproducible.)
We are currently investigating.

The Archduchy of Austria (German: Erzherzogtum Österreich), one of the most important states within the Holy Roman Empire, was the nucleus of the Habsburg Monarchy and the predecessor of the Austrian Empire. Over nearly 700 years, it evolved from a margravate to the centre of an empire.
With its capital at Vienna, the archduchy was centered in the Danube basin of the current Austrian federal state of Lower Austria and included most of what is now Upper Austria as well.
Located in the southeastern periphery of the Holy Roman Empire, it bordered on the Kingdom of Hungary beyond the Leitha river. In the south it was confined by the Duchy of Styria, with the border at the historic Semmering Pass, while in the north the Bohemian Forest and the Thaya river marked the border with Bohemia and Moravia. In the west, the Upper Austrian part bordered on the Duchy of Bavaria, whereby the historic Innviertel belonged to the Bavarian dukes until the 1779 Treaty of Teschen, as well as on the Archbishopric of Salzburg in the Salzkammergut region.
King Ottokar II of Bohemia, the Austrian duke from 1251 to 1276, was the first to separate those Austrian lands west of the Enns river, which had belonged to the Bavarian stem duchy since the establishment of the Imperial March of Austria in 976. It stood as the administrative unit of Austria superior (Upper Austria) — a tradition adopted by the later Habsburg rulers.
In the 9th century, the core of territory that would become the Archduchy of Austria was known as the march(i)a orientalis or "eastern march". In 788 Charlemagne had finally incorporated the Bavarian stem duchy into the Frankish Empire. Thereafter he established the Avar March in the adjacent eastern territories along the Danube, which after several campaigns against the Avars was extended to the March of Pannonia, a part of East Francia after the 843 Treaty of Verdun. The Franks however lost most of these territories to the Magyars after the defeat of a Bavarian army at the 907 Battle of Brezalauspurc.
German King Otto I finally terminated the Magyar incursions at the Battle of Lechfeld in 955. In the regained marcha orientalis, German migrants displaced earlier Slavic populations. The territory became one of the marches of the Holy Roman Empire and was given a margrave around 960. In 976 Emperor Otto II appointed Leopold I from the House of Babenberg margrave for his support in the conflict with the insurgent Duke Henry II of Bavaria. In a deed issued by Emperor Otto III in 996, it is noted that the march was referred to as Ostarrîchi in the local dialect. This name is the ancestor of the present-day German name for Austria, Österreich. Modern Austria recognizes the issuance of this document as the founding of the nation.
In 1156, the margravate was raised to the status of a Duchy through the Privilegium Minus issued by Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa. In 1138 Frederick's uncle German King Conrad III of Hohenstaufen had deprived his Welf rival Henry X the Proud of the Bavarian duchy and granted it to the Austrian margrave Leopold IV of Babenberg. Emperor Frederick however wished to settle the dispute with the Welf dynasty and restored the Duchy of Bavaria to Henry the Lion. In compensation, Leopold's brother Henry II of Babenberg, who had inherited Austria and Bavaria in 1141 and now had to resign as Bavarian duke, was raised in his margravate to a "Duke of Austria".
With the death of Duke Frederick II of Austria in 1246, the Babenberg dynasty became extinct. In the course of the following inheritance dispute, the Bohemian prince Ottokar II Přemysl invaded Austria in 1251 and was proclaimed duke by the local nobility. The next year he legitimated his succession by marrying Frederick's sister Margaret of Babenberg, then about thirty years his senior. His rule however was not acknowledged by the Swabian count Rudolph of Habsburg, who after his election as King of the Romans claimed Austria as a reverted fief. He finally defeated Ottokar at the 1278 Battle on the Marchfeld and secured the duchy for the Habsburg dynasty for 640 years.
Austria together with the Duchy of Styria formed the "hereditary lands" bequested to Rudolph's sons Albert and Rudolph II, again enlarged with the acquisition of Carinthia and Carniola by Duke Otto IV the Merry in 1335.
Though the Habsburgs already ruled a significant territory by then, their claims were not considered in the Golden Bull of 1356, when Emperor Charles IV, a member of the rivaling Luxembourg dynasty, determined the seven Prince-electors to vote for the German king. In 1359, deprived Duke Rudolf IV of Austria therefore forged the Privilegium Maius to elevate the status of his duchy to that of an "archduchy", making it equal-ranking with an electorate including the right of primogeniture, though the action was not recognized by the Emperor. Rudolf's efforts laid the foundation for the rising of the Habsburg dynasty, and he also gained Tyrol from Countess Margaret Maultasch in 1363. However, after his death in 1365, his brothers quarreled about their heritage and by the 1379 Treaty of Neuberg finally split the Habsburg lands into Austria proper and an Inner Austrian territory consisting of Styria, Carinthia and Carniola. The partition again weakened the position of the House of Habsburg in favour of the Luxembourgish.
Among their successors, Duke Ernest the Iron of Inner Austria was the first to adopt the title of archduke in 1414. The archduchy however was not formally recognized until Ernest's son, Frederick V, was elected Holy Roman Emperor and the Habsburgs gained control of the office to legitimate their usurpation in 1453. Upon the death of his cousin Ladislaus the Posthumous in 1457, Frederick again united the Austrian lands under his rule. Nevertheless he had to deal with the claims of his younger brother Albert VI. In 1458 he could secure his rule in the territory "above" (west of) the Enns river around Linz, later known as Upper Austria. After Albert's death in 1463, the lands ob der Enns and unter der Enns (later Lower Austria) remained separate entities, both ruled by Frederick who, in 1489, set up his Imperial residence at Linz after his long-time rival Matthias Corvinus of Hungary had conquered Vienna.
Austria remained the only state ever to be designated an archduchy and never held a vote in the electoral diet, a problem which was finally solved for the Habsburgs when Archduke Ferdinand I inherited the Bohemian kingdom in 1526. From the 16th century, members of the House of Habsburg held the title of archduke or archduchess, similar to "princes or princesses of the blood" in other European royal houses. From 1512, the archduchy was also the center of an Imperial Circle of the Holy Roman Empire, the Austrian Circle, which mostly consisted of the Habsburg hereditary lands.
Archduke Frederick V had already promoted the rise of the Habsburg dynasty into European dimensions with the arrangement of the marriage between his son Maximilian I and Mary the Rich, heiress of Burgundy in 1477. After Maximilian's son Philip the Handsome in 1496 had married Joanna the Mad, Queen of Castile and the Kingdom of Aragon, his son Charles V could come into an inheritance "on which the sun never sets". Nevertheless his younger brother Ferdinand I claimed his rights and became Archduke of Austria in 1521, whereafter he, by marrying Princess Anna of Bohemia and Hungary, inherited both kingdoms in 1526.
Ferdinand, King of the Romans from 1531, is the progenitor of the Austrian branch of the House of Habsburg (Habsburg-Lorraine from 1745 on), which as Archdukes of Austria and Kings of Bohemia ruled the Holy Roman Empire until its dissolution in 1806.
In 1804, Emperor Francis II of Habsburg promoted his territories within the Holy Roman Empire together with his Kingdom of Hungary to the Austrian Empire in reaction to Napoleon I's proclamation of the French Empire; two years later Francis formally dissolved the defunct Holy Roman Empire. The Archduchy of Austria continued to exist as a constituent crown land (Kronland) within the empire, although it was divided into Upper and Lower Austria for some purposes. The title of archduke continued to be used by members of the imperial family and the archduchy was only formally dissolved in 1918 with collapse of Austria-Hungary and the creation of the separate federal states of Lower and Upper Austria in the new Republic of German Austria.

Republican Sen. Thad Cochran narrowly turned back tea party challenger Chris McDaniel in the Mississippi primary runoff Tuesday night, with the bitter campaign going down to the wire.
McDaniel had narrowly led Cochran in the primary three weeks ago but failed to get the required 50% to avert a runoff. But in the end, the populist firebrand who tapped into Mississippi's conservative culture and upended establishment politics fell short.
With 99% of precincts reporting, Cochran had 51% to McDaniel's 49%, according to the Associated Press.
The race was among the most costly and hard-edged of the midterm primary election cycle, pitting the GOP establishment against the tea party in all-out political warfare -- one that, at least in its the final days, took on racial overtones. More than $17 million was spent in the poor state.
The six-term senator's ability to eke out victory came as a surprise because he had appeared unable to counter the swell of antiestablishment frustration in Washington.
Late outreach by Cochran's team to Democrats, particularly African Americans who tend not to vote for Republicans, may have boosted his showing, along with Cochran's core argument that his seniority in the Senate promised a continued flow of federal resources to Mississippi.
McDaniel, a charismatic two-term state senator, had drawn widespread support with his message of economic populism and a nostalgic promise that Mississippi's better days were not all past, forcing the veteran senator into the runoff.
"While people act like this is some tea party versus the establishment, what it is is an incumbent versus people who don't like Washington," Joe Nosef, chairman of the state Republican Party, said before the votes were tallied.
The outcome of the rough race all but ensures a tough general election battle ahead, as Democrats believe they may have an opening in the red state with the conservative-leaning Travis Childers, a former congressman.

You know how when you first get saved and you remember how much Jesus did for you on the cross because you were so aware of your sin? You knew you needed a Savior and grace was so evident because you didn't deserve anything, yet you felt God's love and peace flood your heart. (If you've never experienced the presence of God is this way, I pray you stop right now and ask Him to reveal Himself to you!)
Often in our journey with the Lord, somewhere along the way,we begin to drift away from grace. In an effort to please Him, we can easily fall for the works mentality trap. This is where the Galatians found themselves when Paul called them "foolish":
"Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard? Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human strength? Have you suffered so much for nothing—if it really was for nothing? Does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you because you observe the law, or because you believe what you heard? - Gal. 3:2-5
He goes on to talk about how Abraham believed what God told him, and it was accredited to him as righteousness. So we see that righteousness has to do with faith, not works. Of course we balance that out in James where it says that faith without deeds is dead, but it starts with believing! In other words, we do not EARN righteousness, we believe it and receive it.
Another example is Eph. 2:1-9
In verses 8 & 9 it says "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast."So we're not to boast or brag as if we did anything good on our own. That would make us a modern day Pharisee.
And finally, here is one of my favorite Scriptures that explains what an insult it would be for anyone to think they could be good enough to earn God's love:
"I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die." - Gal. 2:21
How cruel would that be for Jesus to have died such a terrible, painful death, if there was another way to Heaven? But we know from Jesus own mouth that He alone is the way, the truth and the life, and no man can get to the Father except by Him.
Why do you think it's so natural for people to disregard grace? You would think they would welcome it...after all, the gospel means "good news". Even Christians who readily receive it, sometimes later wander back to trying to measure up on their own...we fall for the lies of the enemy that tell us that God is unhappy with us if we're not "doing", or that it ties in with our performance.
Human nature is completely opposite from God's way - God's way was so loving, so selfless, so unconditional, it boggles the mind! In fact, the cross seems foolish to the natural mind and can not be understood except by the Holy Spirit's revelation. It's not something we look at when we first receive Christ and then leave it behind to go onto "deeper truths". Everything was accomplished at the cross!
I've come to think of it as the "Great Exchange" and I think this explains why it's so difficult at times to accept, because it seems too good to be true.
We exchange...
- our sin for His righteousness
- our pain for His miraculous healing
- our fear for His peace
- our shame for His purity
- our failures for His plan for us
- our heavy burdens for His yoke that is easy and light
- our weakness for His power
- our chains for His freedom!
While most things in life that sound that easy are too good to be true, the Gospel is one thing that is too good not to be believed.

Christ Church at Hipperholme is offering the chance for people to visit and enjoy their church more often.
On the first Saturday morning of each month, 10am to noon, there will be coffee, cake and jigsaws, starting in February at the church on Hipperholme crossroads.
This is an extension to the church's twice weekly "good as new" sale.
"We have been aware for some time that many who work and children at school can almost never come on our regular Wednesday and Friday morning sales, so opening on Saturdays is a logical step," a spokesperson for the organising team said.
"The emphasis on jigsaws is only for extra fun – all the normal bargains will be available as well," he added.
The sales raise hundreds of pounds each year for local and overseas charities. Donated goods which do not sell after a few weeks then go to the British Heart Foundation shop in Brighouse, where much more is sold.
"The chats over coffee after visiting the sale are even more important sometimes," the spokesperson said.
Friday mornings are partly staffed by social services clients and their carers and they value the experience enormously, he added.
Any new volunteers are welcome to join the church's weekly rotas or on Monday mornings when receiving and sorting of goods occurs.

Katharine Shilcutt's piece on strawberries, complete with luscious photos of the ruby-red fruit, instilled a craving for strawberry shortcake into my easily influenced brain. Since I usually pass on dessert during the weekdays, I opted to outsmart myself and make strawberry shortcake for dinner. Ha ha! Loophole!
I baked up some crumbly sweet biscuits, sugared the beautiful garnet berries that were sitting on my counter, whipped up some fresh cream, and even made a thickly sweet lemon syrup to drizzle on top. As I was working on my masterpiece, I decided to find a wine to pair with this little plate of heaven.
Someone had gifted me a bottle of 2009 Chateau Grillon Sauternes ($25), which I decided to test out with my dessert, I mean, dinner. A fortified French dessert wine, the Grillon Sauternes was sweet and citrusy, which was a perfect complement to the lemony syrup drizzled on the shortcake.
The berries were a bit tart, but the wine softened them up and made them even more scrumptious. The ivory cloud of cream was a lovely, fatty companion to the acidic wine. I look forward to replicating this excellent meal soon, on a hot summer night.

Last Sunday, NY Giants linebacker Michael Boley sacked Dallas Cowboy QB Tony Romo early in the second quarter, driving his left shoulder into the ground. Romo suffered a broken left clavicle and it appears he will be out for at least 8 weeks, if not the entire season. For a team that was 1-4 before last week's game, the injury to Romo is devastating and will make it nearly impossible for the Cowboys to salvage this season.
So what happened to America's Team? The Cowboys entered this season as a Super Bowl favorite. Most sports analysts affirm that the Cowboys have the most talented roster in the NFL, yet their performance has been abysmal.
The Cowboys have played sloppy, undisciplined football these past few weeks. Penalties, mistakes and an apparent lack of enthusiasm seem to characterize this team. Why does a team that has appeared in 8 Super Bowls, more than any other team in the NFL, seem to be so unmotivated?
Perhaps the problem lies at the top. Team owner Jerry Jones perceives himself as a football expert and his enormous ego leaves no room for a coach who can outshine him. Jones is a "hands on" owner and Head Coach Wade Phillips is just the kind of weak pawn Jones can use in his life size game of chess.
A headstrong, opinionated coach takes the spotlight and control away from Jerry Jones and, in the end, it really does seem to be all about him. In the 1990s, Jimmy Johnson coached the Cowboys to two Super Bowl victories and was responsible for some of the best draft picks and trades in NFL history. Johnson left the Cowboys after he and Jones simply could not work together, due in large part to Jones' insistence on so much control in the day to day coaching aspects of the organization.
One thing is for certain, the Cowboys are now facing a much more difficult challenge since Romo's injury. With the trade deadline passed, Dallas must rely on backup QB Jon Kitna to lead the offense. Is it just me, or is it absolutely shocking that the 38 year old Kitna is the backup QB on a team as prestigious as the Cowboys?!
Kitna came into the Giants game last Sunday and seemed totally unprepared and overwhelmed. Isn't it his JOB to be ready to go into the game at a moment's notice? A quality, heads-up coach would not have a QB the caliber of Kitna as their backup. Sorry, but there is simply no excuse for it!
Today the Cowboys face the 3-4 Jacksonville Jaguars at home. The Jaguars defense has been struggling, especially against the rush. But the Cowboys haven't had an effective rushing game this season, so in all likelihood, the Jags will be able to control this part of the game. This means Kitna will be forced to throw the ball to his very capable receivers. The problem is Kitna's tendency to drop back deep to pass. Expect the Jaguars to aggressively pass rush and hit Kitna hard and often to rattle the backup and give the Jags a victory.
It seems unlikely that the 1-5 Cowboys can make the playoffs. So at this point, they need to look to next season and the future of the organization. Will Jerry Jones be able to put his ego aside and hire a new coach capable of instilling discipline and motivation to this very talented roster? Or will his thirst for fame make it impossible for him to give up control of the team to someone who is more knowledgeable about the game?
This year's Super Bowl will be held at Jones' new, beloved Cowboys Stadium. Jerry Jones will be relegated to spectator, rather than participant, despite all the predictions his team would be playing for the championship. This humiliation alone may be enough to force Jones to hire a more capable coach who can do the things necessary to start winning.
The injury to Romo cannot be used as an excuse the rest of this season for poor performance by the Cowboys. That was happening long before the loss of Romo. Instead, the Cowboys need to use the injury as a wakeup call and make the organizational changes that will allow this gifted roster to continue the winning tradition. It is time for Jones to bring the Cowboys back to their "America's Team" status.

The Athens of the North
When I first went to Edinburgh, I was not expecting much. When one thinks of Scotland, they tend to get visions of daunting highlands and William Wallace screaming about freedom. But while, the country's capital does have sweeping landscapes and a few kilt- clad Mel Gibson wannabes, there is so much more to it than that.
A five-hour train ride from London, Edinburgh makes for a fabulous getaway. Unlike Paris or Madrid, this UK hub is a completely doable, non-stressful weekend trip. You can fit in all the major hotspots, without being rushed or feeling like you're missing things. The four "must sees" are Holyrood Palace, Edinburgh Castle, Arthur's Seat, and The Royal Mile.
Holyrood Palace, the former home of Mary Queen of Scots and current Scottish residence of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, is rich with history. For a small fee, you can take a wonderful headset tour of the palace interior and its grounds. It takes through a serious of impressively furnished rooms and gives you an in depth overview of palace's intriguing past. The room where Queen Mary's advisor and supposed lover, David Rizzo was murdered, is particularly interesting. The site also features the beautiful ruins of the 12th century Holyroot Abbey.
Unlike Holyrood, which was remodeled in the 17th century, Edinburgh Castle has a much more antiquated feel. The 12th century fortress sits atop a volcanic hill and dominates the city skyline. Its medieval architecture and striking placement make it Scotland's most popular paid tourist destination. Inside, visitors can observe the stately portcullis, the Royal Palace, military garrisons, the National War Museum of Scotland, and St Margret's Chapel (the oldest part of the building dating back to the 1100's). Both sides of the castle also offer scenic look out points.
However, one has not fully experienced Edinburgh, until they have observed it from Arthur's Seat. Named for the legendary king, Arthur's Seat is the top peak of cluster of large hills. It is situated in the heart of Edinburgh and has breathtaking views of the city and the sea. On nice day, or even just a tolerable day, a hike up the green, mossy paths of Arthur's Seat is an amazing excursion.
Perhaps the most iconic Scottish landmark in Edinburgh is not a landmark at all, but a stretch of streets. The Royal Mile, connecting Holyrood Palace and Edinburgh Castle, is arguably the most tourist-orientated part of the city. The area drives home the bagpipes and kilts image in a way that is anything but subtle. One would be hard-pressed to find a shop on the mile that does not carry tartans, haggis, or whiskey. That being said, it touristy feel is kind of fabulous. It is a reminder of what a fiercely prideful people the Scots are how much they enjoy displaying their culture. The Royal Mile also features some of Edinburgh's most impressive classical architecture and best loved pubs and clubs.
If you have extra time the city also houses various museums and galleries including The City Art Centre, The Writers Museum, and the Edinburgh Museum. It is also home to a posh shopping district located primarily on Princess Street. The Grassmarket club scene is popular with university students and is perfect for a fun night out.
Once dubbed the "Athens of the North", Edinburgh is worthy of the title. It is a lively city, brimming with culture and exceptionally friendly people. There is something there for everyone, whether they're a history-buff, art fanatic, outdoor adventurer, or just a party lover. With its contradictory bustling pace and cobblestones roads, Edinburgh is a wonderful enigma. It is a cosmopolitan metropolis with the charm of a little town, a UK jewel that is not to be missed.

The Medical College of Louisiana, now Tulane University School of Medicine, was founded by three young physicians in 1834. They published a document, officially titled The First Circular or Prospectus of the Medical College of Louisiana. This is the original document pertaining to the establishment of Tulane University as a whole. This manuscript served as a copy for the printer announcement of and justification for the founding of the first medical school in New Orleans. It was drafted on 23 September 1834 by Dr. Thomas Hunt with the assistance of Dr's. John H. Harrison and Warren Stone. The Prospectus was published a week later, on 29 September 1834, in French and English versions on the front page of L'Abeille (The Bee), the local, bilingual newspaper.
The Prospectus caused a storm of controversy in New Orleans at the time. The French physicians of the community were outraged that these youthful American physicians of the community (the eldest of the three founders was twenty-six) should presume the latter were more qualified to teach medicine than the former. John Hoffman Harrison
With the formation of additional colleges, the Medial College of Louisiana evolved into the University of Louisiana in 1847. The University was renamed Tulane University, and became a wholly private institution in 1884.
Little is known about the subsequent history of The Prospectus manuscript: where it was kept, who cared for it or how it was handed down. The best guess is that it was preserved in the care of successive Deans of the School of Medicine or their assistants. In 1982 it was transferred from the Office of the Chancellor to the Archives of the Rudolph Matas Library. The manuscript was first exhibited on 6 June 1987 at the Graduation Reception of the School of Medicine Class of 1987. Its condition is fragile and display is rare, limited to the most important School of Medicine and University anniversaries and ceremonies.
The pedestal and case for the preservation and display of The Prospectus manuscript was provided through the generosity of the School of Medicine Class of 1987 and the efforts of Gordon Patrick Marshall, M.D., Class President.
The Prospectus is not currently indexed in the Tulane online catalog, but the full text is available online and the document is part of University Archives. Contact the University Archivist for more information: http://tuarchives.tulane.edu/about/staff-directory

Leftover Lentil Fresh dough flat bread – Leftover recipe for kids
Share this Post
Most of us including myself are not very enthusiastic with a idea of eating leftovers, even after they are microwaved-daal(lentil) in particular.
However we need to understand that we need to customize the food to make them interesting for everyone including kids and Leftover Daal Chapati recipe is one such recipe. This recipe is inspired by a type of popular Indian flat bread "Missi Roti", which is made from gram flour & wheat flour mixed in a proportion.
Basic Information
Prep Time: 15 min
Cooking Time: 10 min
Total Time: 25 min
Spice Meter: Medium
Serves: 3-4
Ingredients for leftover chapati recipe:
Leftover Arhar daal (yellow pigeon peas) – 1 cup
Whole wheat Flour – 3 cups
Onion (chopped) – 50 gms
Garlic (chopped) – 1 tablespoon
Green Chillies – 1 teaspoon
Zeera (cumin seeds) – 1- teaspoon
Salt – to taste
Olive Oil – 1 tablespoon
Preparation of Leftover Daal Chapati recipe:
Put all ingredients in a bowl and mix them well. Add warm water and prepare soft dough. Keep it aside for rest for 15 min.
Divide the dough into 12 equal balls. Make a round flat chapati and place it on flat hot pan till golden brown.
Now place it on hot plate and keep on flipping to avoid burn out however ensuring that its cooked properly.
Spread Butter/clarified butter (ghee) and serve them hot with curry of your choice.
Personally I like to serve Leftover Daal Chapati with Paneer butter masala curry with Onion slices and green mint chutney (dip).

text: The global fashion industry is held up as the poster child for constant innovation in the absence of IP protection. For example, Johanna Blakley argues in her TED talk that the lack of copyright protection has driven fashion designers to elevate fashion to art and to develop a "signature look" that is so distinctive that everyone knows who created it. The side-effect of the designer's freedom to copy, she argues, is the establishment of trends – the result of designers copying freely from each other. Trends help to move product, which drives revenues. While the global fashion industry is substantial by any measure, and indeed has grown throughout the global economic downturn, there may be more to this than simply the lack of constraint from copyright laws. First, although limited, copyright does have a role in protecting some apparel designs (beyond fabric patterns). In the US decision Poe v Missing Persons, a clear plastic swimsuit filled with rocks was held by a court to qualify as a work of art, in which case the unauthorised reproduction of the item was an infringement of copyright in that work of art. In Australia, the distinctive knits of apparel designer Coogi Australia were held to be works of artistic craftsmanship in which copyright had been infringed. In France, where national copyright laws are interpreted liberally by French courts to protect its local industries, a court ruling held that a Ralph Lauren dress infringed copyright in the famous black tuxedo dress first created by Yves Saint Laurent in 1966 and reappearing in YSL's haute couture fall collections for 1992. There is a suite of other intellectual property protections that designers may also enjoy. For example, for designer Issey Miyake, his "signature look" is patent protected. Issey Miyake has pushed the boundaries of clothing design through the use of technology. His PLEATS PLEASE range was designed to be highly functional – strong shapes that are light and can travel well (machine washable, rolled up for storage and do not require ironing). The patented method of pleating invented by Miyake was also utilised by him to create distinctive garments with strong architectural shapes – sculptural garments that might also meet the "works of art" test or "works of artistic craftsmanship" test under copyright laws. The use of patents to protect apparel is not entirely new. According to the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney, Australia, rubber thong sandals recognised in the 1960s as an anti-establishment symbol and currently enjoying a revival on the (street) fashion scene, were once patented by Dunlop as a "device by which central forces are diverted externally". The innovation apparently was in having the right rubber formula and the cup-shaped plug that held the thong into the sole, spreading sideways when force was applied so that it did not pull through. In most nations, there are also design laws that are calculated to take up where copyright signs off and where patent protection is not appropriate. In the US, design patents are available to protect the ornamental features of designs. The US approach is unique in this regard because it approaches the protection of designs from a patent perspective (elsewhere, as in Australia, design protection takes a copyright-style approach). This has been criticised as posing difficulties for the fashion industry because the hurdle for patent protection is higher than that for copyright protection (a design must be "novel" and "nonobvious", compared with "original"). In truth, fashion designers have been able to obtain and rely on design patents to stop copycats – as illustrated by a recent battle between Canadian active apparel designer Lululemon and Calvin Klein. Lululemon claimed Calvin Klein had copied a waistband and overall design of its design patented yoga pants. While this dispute may ultimately be settled, it illustrates that design registration can be a powerful tool to stop copycats. Australian fashion designers have also been successful in relying on registered designs to stop knockoffs. Meanwhile, since 2006, the fashion industry in the US has also been pushing for new laws to give a copyright-style protection for apparel designs. Dubbed the "quasi-copyright for fashion bill", the proposed US Innovative Design Protection Act of 2012 (the IDPA) promises to extend IP protection for fashion designers. As the US fashion market (worth some $250 billion in 2011) is one of the creative hubs of the global fashion industry and with cross-border trade over the internet ever increasing, this proposal is likely to have broad implications. So, what changes are proposed by the IDPA? In the US currently, "useful articles" are ineligible for copyright protection. This includes items of clothing – unless they happen to qualify as a work of art. To qualify as a work of art, however, the aesthetic elements of a "useful article" must be able to exist separately from the utilitarian elements. This is known as the "separability" rule. In Jovani Fashions v Fiesta Fashions, the US Court of Appeals suggests clothing designs will rarely qualify as works of art. The Court held that the design elements could not be separated from the garments' ability to function as dresses. Therefore, the garments were not protected by copyright. The same separability rule applies to industrial designs generally. The IDPA is proposing to give original apparel designs three years' protection against copying. This would mean that items of apparel that are "substantially identical" or "so similar in appearance as to be mistaken for the design, and contain only … differences … which are merely trivial" would infringe the original design. This would give designers protection against the worrying trend for knockoffs to appear so quickly on the market – sometimes before the original designer gets its product onto shelves. In fact, the US proposal is not new to the global fashion industry. In Europe, another key creative hub for fashion, industrial designs (including fashion) enjoy an unregistered European Economic Community design right for three years. This is an automatic right that prevents copying of an original design. The right comes into existence automatically when the design is made publicly available within the EEC, and lasts for three years. Only the appearance of an article, and not its technical function, is protected. The IDPA would give fashion designs in the US similar protection. Last but certainly not least, the single form of IP protection that all fashion designers enjoy is brand protection. Brands encapsulate the "signature look" of any designer and it could well be argued that it is the brand itself rather than a garment design in its own right (think: Burberry) that drives the trends that move product. Therefore, it is no sheer accident that a signature look comes to be so strongly associated with an individual designer. Indeed, it may be that the substantial success of the fashion industry is not due to weak copyright protection but rather a result of strong brand protection.

"They can't take away my rent money if I'm sanctioned"
The short answer:
It's kind of true … but it may feel like they're taking your rent money
Your entitlement to universal credit in respect of your housing costs is not protected, so in some circumstances it may be used to cover a sanction.
How much is a sanction?
A sanction is usually equivalent to the standard allowance for a person or a couple of your age (it is less if you are 16 or 17, or are only expected to take part in a work-focused interview and have no other work-related requirements).
Why can housing costs be used to pay for sanctions?
If you receive less than the standard allowance in addition to your housing costs - for example because you have other income that reduces your entitlement, or the DWP are making deductions from your benefit such as for advance payments or utility arrears payments - some of your entitlement to housing costs will be withheld to cover the sanction amount that cannot be covered by what is left of your standard allowance.
Law and case law:
Regulations 110 and 111 of the Universal Credit Regulations 2013 set out how the amount of the sanction is calculated.
Official guidance:
Chapter K1 of Advice for Decision Makers looks at sanctions, and paragraph K1101 explains about the amount of the reduction.

The calling is strong. At three I was doing handstands on the wall and have since been irrevocably wrapped in the wonderment of form. I love being entangled in this body, learning to weave a story of magical proportions. Life's a recipe and my formulas are for joy. What you put in is what you get out. Living at ease in the physical form is the foundation of the practice. The geometry, metaphors, and utter awe I find myself in when working in my body and with others keeps my fire lit. I've taught in Africa, Asia, India, North America and tiny places in between. I am gathering all my passions together and calling it yoga. It's body reformation and it's a powerful psychic overhaul. The practice is for liberation from conditioning, genetic or personal, it's yours and there for you to transform into your own creation story. I have studied for years under my mentor and friend Nevine Michaan and am grateful to have written "Yoga as Origami: Themes from Katonah Yoga."
Ready to refine your practice? Check out my book "Yoga as Origami"
Available from all major online distribution chains, such as amazon.
"[The practice is] writing a new story in the cells and learning to give ourselves space to be liberated. One who is genuinely interested in their body and maximizing its potential, will be nourished by this guided information with Kat."
Janell Pinto, Edmonton AB

The Chain Rule is a formula for computing the derivative of the composition of two or more functions. For instance, if f and g are functions, then the chain rule expresses the derivative of their composition.
The Chain Rule Formula is as follows –
\[\LARGE \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{dy}{du}.\frac{du}{dx}\]
Solved Examples
Question 1: Differentiate y = cos $x^{2}$
y = cos $x^{2}$
Let u = $x^{2}$, so that y = cos u
Therefore: $\frac{du}{dx}$=2x
$\frac{du}{dx}$ = -sin u
And so, the chain rule says:
$\frac{dy}{dx}$= -sin u $\times$ 2x
= -2x sin u $x^{2}$
