He is best known for his novels Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870), A Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873). Verne wrote about space, air, and underwater travel before air travel and practical submarines were invented, and before practical means of space travel had been devised.

Search Engine Optimization, or SEO, is a fundamental part of your search engine marketing strategy, and DA Designers can help you define it.
Higher rankings in the natural (organic) listings of search engines will get your Web site more exposure to your target market if placed correctly. However, a first page position in a search engine result for a particular term doesn't mean that your site will come first for other terms. There are plenty of aspects to consider when placing a Web site within search engines and their directories, which inlcude site design and structure.
Target Marketing
The first step in search engine optimization is to determine and analyze your target. Think about all the aspects and characteristics of your main sales to determine the specific target market you should reach out to with your web site. All of your marketing efforts should be dedicated to this target market niche. Don't waste your marketing resources by trying to market every little thing that you offer because this will produce ineffective results in the search engines. You may feature all your different products and services on your Web site, but focus on and target the "real stuff" that your business has to offer.
Investigation and Evaluation
If your Web site already exists, it will be analyzed for current search engine positioning, as well as your competitors' success with the target market. Research on keywords will be evaluated according counts per month, as well as price competitiveness and relevance to your target market. The current keyword density of the pages within your site will also be evaluated and adjusted accordingly after research is complete.
Web Site Optimization
The next step in SEO is to optimize your site with your specially selected keywords. These keywords are chosen based on the research of actual searches done in the search engines, and the chosen keywords are incorporated into the body text, title tags, text links, image ALT tags, and META tags of each page of your site.
Example: If you sell furniture in Houston, you would like for the search term " Houston furniture" to appear in all of these places. Just be sure you have enough content so you don't look like you're filling your pages with unnecessary amounts of keywords.
Website Structure
The design of a website is very important to search engine spiders (crawlers). If your content is, for instance, a huge graphic image or uses Flash, these spiders can not read the web content, and your search engine marketing strategy will suffer as a result. On an optimized page, the elements of the page should be built and structured to support each other. A minimum amount of text should be available, helpful graphic images should support the text, HTML code tags should be set up on every page, etc.
Original Content
It is very important that all content on your site be original and still have your designated search terms for SEO. Content taken from another site will lower your site's rank in the search engines. PDF files, articles and newsletters are all excellent for use because most of the time they contain content that is keyword-heavy. Text that is useful, legible and high in quality should be used throughout the site to yield optimal search engine results. A site that's constantly updated with fresh material will also encourage search engine spiders to visit the site on a constant basis. Press releases and other articles are excellent for the continuous addition of new material.
Website Submission
Once you have made the adjustments for your optimized website, it must be submitted to the spiders/crawlers to be "crawled" and sent across the Internet via several output points. The search engines will then compile records of the newly indexed pages.
Popularity of Links
If your site is externally linked to other legitimate, relevant sites, its "page rank" will be higher that that of other sites, and the search engines will consider it of higher importance than one with a lower "page rank". However, link farms should still be avoided because they will lower the legitimacy of the site in the long run.
Efficient, properly executed site optimization along with frequent updates will secure optimal search engine results in both the short run and the long run. A shrewd SEO strategy coupled with a strong pay-per-click campaign will help you increase your web site's accessibility, and, as a result, your sales!

George H.W. Bush passed away at 94-years-0ld, and during those nine and a half decades, Bush 41 made historic milestones. As the world mourns the passing of the former American president, he is remembered for these milestones today. The nation will say their final goodbye to President George H.W. Bush during the next few days. The former president's funeral services will start early this week and end mid-week with his burial in Texas.
During the several services and memorials for H.W. this week, many speeches will honor the former president. These speeches are sure to mention these milestones and accomplishments by George H.W. Bush during his 94 years of life. Starting with George H.W. Bush making history as the longest-lived president in the US, according to the Springfield News-Sun.
George H.W. Bush reached the longest-lived president milestone at the age of 93 years and 166 days. Bush surpassed Former President Gerald Ford for that distinction last year. George H.W. Bush was born on June 12, 1924, and former President Jimmy Carter, who is still living, was born just months later on October 1, 1924. With that said, it looks like H.W. Bush may only hold the distinction of the longest-lived president for just a few more months.
Bush also had the distinction of being the youngest person in the nation to do something during World War II. Former President Bush joined the U.S. Navy at the age of 18 and became the youngest pilot in the Navy during that war. As a combat pilot, he flew a total of 58 missions. During a bombing run, his plane was hit and he was rescued by a U.S. Navy submarine. He managed to make his way out of the burning aircraft that was hit while flying over the Pacific Ocean, according to Biography.
Milestone today: At 93 years and 166 days, @GeorgeHWBush becomes the longest-lived President in U.S. history, surpassing Gerald Ford.— Gabe Fleisher (@WakeUp2Politics) November 25, 2017
George H.W. Bush became the first sitting vice president to be elected president since 1837. This means that President Bush was the first in over a century to accomplish this distinction.
Barbara Bush used to sit on the steps of the South Portico at the White House, waiting for George Bush to return from trips. I thought of this picture tonight, and how happy she must be that he's coming home to her again. pic.twitter.com/3BEidkAyrL— Kate Bennett (@KateBennett_DC) December 1, 2018
Now that H.W.'s oldest, youngest, and first distinctions are covered, what about his best? That has to do with one of his best friends, and that would be former President Ronald Reagan. According to Fox & Friends Weekend, when George H.W. was president he would have lunch regularly with former President Ronald Reagan.
During the time Bush was Reagan's running mate and later as his vice president, a friendship formed that lasted a lifetime. On Fox & Friends Weekend they shared a quip about President H.W. George Bush dropping in on the former President Reagan in his business office.
The story starts with the motorcade pulling up and President Bush emerging from one of the vehicles. Once inside the building, a loud voice echoed through the halls, which was the voice of George Bush. He yells out "Where's my president?"
That's how George Bush looked at Ronald Reagan and he would always be George Bush's president.

How does the high quality of health education and patient care at University of Utah Health benefit the state's economic strength? By putting the innovations born here in The Beehvie State on the national radar for research, reputation and rankings.
In health care, nothing matters more than patient trust, which is usually based on a provider's ability and a patient's satisfaction. The trust factor feeds into reputation, which is what patients and communities often rely on when making health care decisions. Reputation is a big factor in determining the health or the viability of a medical institution.
"Once again, the nation takes notice of University of Utah Health," said Mike Good, CEO, when the U.S. News rankings were released this spring. "Many of our medical and nursing programs now rank in the top 15 nationally when compared with other public institutions." The rankings include 120 public and private medical schools in the United States, but as Good points out, "Our School of Medicine is tied for #15 in research among public medical schools and is #14 among publics for primary care. The physician assistant program ranks #2 among public programs."
Updated rankings are released annually in mid-March, which adds to to the excitement surrounding "Match Day." That occurs when fourth-year medical students get "matched" in residency programs. Students, often accompanied by proud family and friends, rip open an envelope to find out where they will live and work while completing a residency--a multi-year, in-depth training within a specific branch of medicine. It's a day of jubilation that equals commencement, a few weeks later, when medical students get a diploma and formally take the title "Doctor."
Match Day is also significant for U of U Health because it serves as a measure of how well the institution is preparing providers to deliver high-quality health care. This year, 95.8% of fourth-year students matched on March 15. That's almost two full percentage points above the national average of 94%. The 120 graduates in the class of 2019 will enroll in 93 residency programs in 30 states and one province.
"We take pride in the fact that we can match our students anywhere in the country in great programs," says Adam Stevenson, MD, who serves as Associate Dean of Student Affairs for the School of Medicine. "Physicians out of our medical school have an enviable national reputation for serving as top-quality residents."
That reputation extends...

Recently I enjoyed some homemade veggie sushi rolls, and to go along with the sushi, i decided to try some sake for the first time!
It was very tasty sweet and refreshing, but rather strong for my light weight self, so I decided to dilute it a little by making some sake cocktails, so here are a couple i came up with, so thought i'd share.
The first is this 'Sake mojito' which is my favourite
it contains:
2 shots of sake
the juice of 1 lime
chopped fresh mint
I topped it up with a little diet lemon lime soda, you could also just use regular lemonade or sparkling water.
garnish with lime slices & a sprig of mint
This one I like to call an 'Orange & passionfruit sake martini'
It contains:
2 shots of sake
the juice of a fresh orange
passion fruit seeds
and an orange wedge to garnish
You can also make it more martini like by adding a shot of Vodka or Gin!
Hope you enjoyed this lil recipe and try them for yourself they were delicious!
Happy friday! and if its not a friday when your reading this then happy insert day!

Photo: Self portrait from Vermont Summer 2006.
I talked to my friend Liz tonight. She is signed up for the Grand Slam this year, which for those of you who don't know, is 4 100 mile races in a single summer. I have a big admiration for Liz for doing this for a few reasons. Number 1: Her confidence. I learned running a 100 really does involve 50 miles of mental running and 50 miles of physical. she is confident. Believing you can do it is key. I am not quite there when it comes to doing another 100. Also…I admire her for going for it. I am very responsible: I work a lot, don't spend a lot of extra money, and don't take a lot of time off. I am changing employers soon, and I am getting paid for over 3 months of unused vacation. while I am very happy to get this extra money, I am very sad it never got used for anything more exciting than paying some bills. I wish I could throw caution to the wind more, and go for some of my dreams. It is hard though, to go against your instinctive nature, and mine is to be responsible. I try and get inspired by all my friends going for their dreams…and believe in myself that I can go for some of mine. I have a lot of friends racing lots of 100s this summer, so I should have plenty of inspiration.
In other news, I am soooooo happy that this is a 3 day weekend! It has been a long time since I had one, and I have a very full weekend planned. Lots of running, watching the CapTex triathlon, a mini spa day, and some time with friends. I can't wait.

If you're worried about your financial status in these unprecedented times (and who amongst us isnt?) then this article that I wrote a while back and had scheduled to publish today may prove to be a reminder of how important choosing one's mindset can be...
Let's start a new 'pandemic' - one of better listening skills. It will help us all get through these troubling times as well as the good ones that will be returning... What do you think? During this unprecedented point in world history, I want to focus on some key skills that will help us all build better relationships with one another. I hope this will be helpful for families now spending far more time together than 'normal' life usually sees, to co-workers who are now having to work remotely... everyone!
There is a real challenge in managing staff in an economic downturn. For many Leaders, the first instinct is to drive everyone harder to ensure that the maximum productivity and return is created. In the short term, this may appear to work but in the medium to long term all it does is fuel stress, increase burnout and create an underlying resentment that can become really corrosive
I read a survey recently which stated that over 50% of people were dissatisfied with their job for one reason or another. That's a significant amount of dissatisfaction. At a personal level that is a huge shame. At an organizational level, it is a performance and economic disaster.

Make Industry Marks Radio-Mini-Talks YouTube Make Industry Marks Communications proudly presents Genuine Power Enhancer for Leaders, Gina Gardiner sharing her mini-version of a radio TED Talk called Discover The Power Of Enlightened Leadership.
Gina introduces herself and her work with her coaching clients and her beliefs around helping people, and how learning to walk twice as an adult whilst also running an award-winning school has informed her approach to living a life that is thriving and not just surviving.
The pleasures and pains of 'Corporate Team Building Activities' It is well known that the strength of people working effectively together is qualitatively stronger than that of the individuals of that team working in isolation. The success of the Corporate Leader is dependent on how well he or she can maximize the potential of those they lead. Any corporate leader who is keen to develop strategies for ongoing growth and success needs to enable their staff not only as individuals but as members of a variety of teams.
Here's how to have The Hard Conversations Unprofessional conduct or Poor Performance: Unprofessional behaviour, a poor attitude, not coming up with the goods are all issues which most managers have to deal with at some time or other. You can minimize the need to deal with these situations by having clear explicit expectations which are shared from the outset with your team and modelling the behaviour you want etc. Let's assume that you have those things in place and one or more of you staff are disappointing you because of their attitude, behaviour or performance. How should you tackle it?

Never say that smokers didn't try to warn about fat tax, drinks tax and so forth.
We have had endless public information campaigns on smoking (still do, but fewer), recently it's been alcohol (very similar to the anti-tobacco rhetoric) and now … hey, it's fatty food!
On March 24, 2011, Time scored a double-hit on churchgoers and fat: 'Why Going to Church Can Make You Fat' (H/T: CAGE Canada). So, Christians are the only fat people around? Interesting. (Photo credits to lissparishchurch.co.uk.)
Time says (emphases mine):
Maybe it's all the church socials, but a new study finds that those who attend religious activities are more likely to gain weight than those who don't go to church as often.
Religious involvement is linked to many positive health outcomes, such as happiness, lower rates of smoking and alcohol use, and even a longer life. But research has also suggested that middle-aged adults who are more religious are more likely to be obese. Past data have noted only a correlation between religiosity and weight gain, however; they did not show whether participating in religious activities leads to weight gain, or whether overweight individuals are more likely to seek support in their faith.
So researchers at Northwestern University sought to find out how attending religious events is associated with weight gain over time. They analyzed data from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults study, which followed more than 2,400 people aged 20 to 32 for 18 years. Over that time, the scientists reported at an American Heart Association conference, people who went to church or church activities at least once a week were more than twice as likely as people with no religious involvement to become obese.
… the authors speculate that those who attended church were more likely to have a broader social network, which in turn may lead to more opportunities to gather over food and drink.
The results also suggest that religious groups could benefit from targeted diet and exercise programs, says study co-author Matthew Feinstein, to counteract whatever trends may be promoting weight gain among church-goers.
Note the number of times 'church' and 'religious' are used in connection with 'weight' and 'weight gain'. This is subliminal: church is unhealthy and will make you fat.
I hope that the good people of Liss Parish Church don't mind my borrowing their photos, but they do look like happy Anglicans, the type of people one would expect to meet in England.
The worldwide anti-smoking, 'tobacco control' campaigns are based on spurious science — which is now being disproven little by little, although you aren't likely to read about these studies in the newspaper. From Sir Richard Doll, he of the lung cancer surveys involving smokers (because nearly everyone smoked in the 1950s), to Sir George Godber (Britain's Chief Medical Officer from 1960 – 1973) to Stanton Glantz from Stanford University and the University of California San Francisco (current American king of anti-smoker — yes, anti-smoker — campaigns) to Gro Harlem Brundtland (who has never liked smoke and was able to start the WHO campaign against tobacco and, by default, smokers).
This has worked so well globally that numerous treaties have been signed hither and yon. Incidentally, the climate change campaigns are based on the same tactics of the anti-tobacco campaigns. Both have manipulated data — and the anti-tobacco rhetoric was so successful that the climate change folks began adapting it for their own use. There, too, it's difficult to expose; any 'dissidents' are vehemently criticised or banned from further research — fact might end up entering into it. The cry in so many lectures and press conferences is, 'Think of the children!'
Ditto drinks and now fattening food. Never mind that, until recently, nutritionists have said that what matters is the number of calories we consume daily, not what type. Recently, Professor Mark Haub of Kansas State University proved this once again. Among other news outlets, the Daily Mail reported on his weight loss experiment (emphases mine throughout):
Mark Haub said that on the 'convenience store diet' his 'bad' cholesterol also dropped by 20 per cent and his level of triglycerides, a form of fat, by 39 per cent.
Professor Haub … lost 27lb, going from 14st 5lb to 12st 6lb …
He cut his usual daily calorie intake from about 2,600 to less than 1,800 by eating one Twinkie deep-fried cake – a mini-sponge cake with cream filling – every three hours instead of meals.
To add variety to the cakes, which are often sold deep-fried, he ate Doritos, Kellogg's Pops cereal and Oreo biscuits, and had a daily double shot of espresso.
The final third of his daily intake came in the form of a multivitamin pill and a protein shake, along with some kind of vegetable such as a can of green beans …
'It may be an issue of portion size and moderation rather than total removal. I just think it is unrealistic to expect people to totally drop these foods for vegetables and fruits.'
During the ten-week diet, Mr Haub's body mass index went from 28.8, which is considered overweight, to a normal 24.9.
His body fat fell from 33.4 per cent to 24.9 per cent.
Before his Twinkie diet, Mr Haub considered himself a healthy eater with a diet including whole grains, fibre, berries and bananas.
'I wish I could say the outcomes are unhealthy. I wish I could say it's healthy. I'm not confident enough in doing that. That frustrates a lot of people. One side says it's irresponsible. It is unhealthy, but the data doesn't say that,' he said.
I am pleased to read he said, 'The data [don't] say that'. ('Data' is the plural of 'datum'.) He's criticising knee-jerk, spurious, emotional reactions designed by people who want to control others' lives.
But proper data just aren't good enough for the healthist control freaks worldwide who want us to live 10 or 20 more years so that we can continue to be productive masses of atoms and keep paying our taxes! (Thanks to Ayn Rand for the 'atoms' reference — Phil Donahue interview early 1980s.)
So, what do we have — coincidental, I'm sure — it just happened to appear around the same time? The Lancet, the well-respected English medical journal, is calling for a fatty food tax and more. The Mail tells us:
Government measures to change diet are supported in the study by experts at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and the World Health Organisation.
A key proposal suggests treating foods high in fat, salt and sugar in the same way as tobacco, where advertising is restricted and price has been pushed up to discourage use.
Oh, look. Notice any commonality there? World Health Organisation and tobacco?
Dick Puddlecote warned about this back in August:
We told you so.
The floodgates are wide open now. Anti-smoking lunatics have picked the lock and every single issue fruitcake is queueing up to dictate the way you live your life. What's more, they are very confident that – with the denormalisation of smokers as a guide – government, badgered by the joyless health-obsessed, will be happy to accommodate them.
At least in Niemöller's observation each minority was targeted in sequence. The articles above [see DP's post] span a mere couple of weeks, the last two were only published today. And there will be more in the next week, and the weeks after that, all becoming ever more shrill and urgent in their hyperbole.
The small matter of dictating to smokers has now become an avalanche of righteous ecstasy as every avenue of your life is now open to scrutiny and control.
Err, we did tell you so.
I am only too aware that fat people and drinkers despise smokers. 'I might weigh a ton, but at least I'm not killing other people.' 'I might be a lush but at least I don't stink. Do what you want with smokes but don't touch my precious drinkies.' Okay … Whereas … smokers blogs around the world are trying to unite the three.
So, once again, we all have to fall in line with yet another diktat. No, it hasn't happened yet. But that's what people said about the smoking ban a decade ago. And about alcohol. And now look what's happened there — the Coalition have given local councils permission to raise the price of strong drink. We are told there is 'no safe amount of alcohol.' Nudge, nudge. It's the Big Society — thinking globally, acting locally.
Maybe next it will be 'no safe amount of church'?? After all, you might eat together afterward!
Just as smokers are being increasingly denied employment, health and dental treatment, housing, hotel accommodation and sitting on a park bench, drinkers and the overweight are next in line. It probably won't be long now before you're given an alcohol test (I know of one American company which did this routinely in London in the 1990s) or having your triglycerides checked as part of a job interview. Oh, wait — if you live in North Carolina, your employer has the right to weigh you whilst he performs a nicotine test. From a September 2009 post at Junkfood Science:
I am not sure that the estimable Sandy Szwarc meant that last sentence to appear as it did, but the employers might have.
And, just to show you how tolerant anti-smokers are of the obese, here's a pictorial from the Non Smokers' Movement of Australia — 'Fat Smokers' (H/T: Tea and Cigarettes). The type of person who likes that post probably also writes vile bile like this, spotted on Just Rage (I've cleaned up the language for you; H/T to Smoking out the Truth):
I hate smokers and I'm sure all other non-smokers hate them, too … I've hated smokers for many years and I am almost positive that one day, I will successfully kill someone who smokes. I encourage any non-smokers who are reading this to go out and kick the —- out of smokers.
'Successfully kill' — is there such a thing as an unsuccessful kill? I didn't realise the world had so many perfect people. But, isn't saying things like that a hate crime? Apparently not, with smokers as the object of one's disgust.
Yet, many smokers' blogs are empathetic towards their social drinking, overeating brethren. Pat Nurse of Tea and Cigarettes is one of many smoking bloggers who supports others in the struggle against legislated societal control. In 'The Next Target', she writes:
Now healthists have smokers under control they are swiftly moving on to the next target for profit and general propaganda using the same formula.
It took them 40 years of Big Pharma funding to make the lie of SHS a "fact" and then hype up its dangers year on year to the point where there is now an hysterical fear of smokers and smoking.
They had to make other people believe that smokers could harm them before Government would take them seriously. They are now using the same format on fat people who they've only recently started to persecute.
Apparently :
"It looks like obesity is becoming more infectious," said Alison Hill, a graduate student at the Harvard-Massachusetts Institute of Technology Division of Health Sciences and Technology.
What next? Banning anyone over a certain size from entering public places in case we "catch" their fatness? Do they really think we are that stupid?
Stand FAST, a Canadian blog, also featured a post on this topic:
The pharmaceutical industry will be laughing all the way to the bank as demand grows for appetite suppressants and anti-fat vaccines in the wake of the new war on obesity.
But, if the science proves that obesity is a communicable disease . . .
Obesity may well be a legitimate public health concern. But suing fast food joints and banning happy meals is not going to resolve the problem. Neither is junk science.
Yep, and what appears in the news just a couple of days later? A Telegraph article, '"Fat gene" may lead to a thin pill':
People with two copies of the genetic variant — about 16 per cent of all Europeans — were on average 3kg (6.6lbs) heavier than those without it.
Gee. A whole 3kg (6.6lbs) heavier. Definitely worth taking a pill for that. (Not.) What sort of side-effects will it have? None, except (I bet) for loose stools, flatulence, headaches and blurred vision. All the usual things you get with so many miracle tablets. Thankfully, researchers at Oxford University say it's a long way off.
Frank Davis writes astutely about the 'Four Horsemen' — smoking bans, global warming, the European Union and the war on terror:
But they maybe share a number of characteristics. Firstly, 3 of the 4 are illusory threats. Tobacco smoke is no threat to anybody. CO2 in the atmosphere is no threat to anybody either. The War on Terror is a war against an illusory enemy. I'm not even sure that Al Qaeda even exists. Only the EU, as a bulwark against yet another murderous European war (which is the primary reason why many people have supported it, myself included), looks like it may not be a response to an illusory threat. But perhaps that's illusory too.
Another shared characteristic of the Four Horsemen is that they all entail losses of freedom. The smoking ban has brought a profound loss of freedom. The Global Warming scam also proposes future profound losses of freedom, as carbon emissions are cut, and everybody has to use dimbulbs and crap. The EU is a veritable fountain of restrictive regulations, of which their impending European smoking ban is just one minor example. And the War on Terror has been the excuse for increased surveillance, policing, detention, scanning, etc, etc.
And a further characteristic is that our politicians, whatever country we live in, regularly act to enable these Four Horsemen. There was an almost Gaderene rush by MPs in the UK parliament to vote for the smoking ban 4 years ago. And almost all politicians are fully signed up to Global Warming. I think David Cameron even has windmills on his house. And they all voted for the Iraq and Afghan wars …
These politicians may as well be the Four Horsemen themselves, pale riders riding on these horses galloping from the horizon.
And another shared characteristic is that there is little or no popular support for any of them. Nobody really likes the smoking ban. Nobody is worried about CO2. Nobody likes the EU. And nobody supports the Afghan war. We just grieve for our soldiers who are being uselessly killed in it like their forefathers were uselessly killed in the trenches of Flanders 100 years ago.
I no longer understand our political class …
Back to everyday people, though. Our polarisation saddens me. The push for — and, even worse, acquiescence to — this type of control concerns me. Yet, few care, even the next set of victims. Smokers have offered drinkers and the obese moral and activist support and will stand together with them. After all, smokers have been ostracised for years.

In our physics textbook, we learned in applications of Gauss Law that the intensity of a field inside a hollow charged conducting sphere, is 0.
Given as flux inside such a sphere, $\phi$, is 0, so
$$ \phi = \textbf{E.A} $$
$$ \phi \neq 0 $$
$$ \textbf{A} \neq 0 $$
$$ \therefore \textbf{E} = 0 $$
All the explanations I read online, (like this) only imply the case of the conducting sphere.
But there is an exercise question in the textbook, which i will quote verbatim so as to remove any ambiguity from my point of view.
Is $\textbf{E}$ necessarily zero inside a charged rubber balloon if the balloon is spherical? Assume that charge is distributed uniformly over the surface.
Now, I wasn't able to come up with an answer myself so I checked with a solution manual (Assume , that it is not credible), and I found it solved for the rubber sphere (balloon) the exact same way.
Was that right, is the field inside a rubber sphere , 0?

I thought it was very good and so easy. I did add 2 scrambled eggs and soy sauce to taste which made it perfect for us.

I love to cook, but have searched for many years for an "authentic tasting" fried rice to make at home. This was the ticket! It was crunchy, delicious, and tasted like the real thing. It was a hit with the entire family. I served it with spring rolls, fresh fruit and of course, the unusual twist, "the lettuce" ; which when all put together yielded a yummy and filling dinner. Thanks for a new family fav Judy!

Quick, easy and tasty.
Jun 18, 2012
Thought the use of shredded lettuce was weird but this was very good. Will make it again and it is a great use for leftover pork roast!
Feb 29, 2012
I used whole wheat rice for it's nutritional value and substituted chicken for the pork. Very good!
Dec 3, 2011
I also used sesame oil in place of canola. I cooked the pork with sesame oil as well. I think this really adds to the Asian flavor which would not be so bold with canola.
Sep 6, 2011
Easy and good. I substituted broccoli for the peas and used sesame oil instead of canola to boost the asian flavor. A great use for leftover pork. I would definitely make this recipe again.
Aug 28, 2011
Excellent easy dinner. The best part is the kids loved it!! Wouldn't change a thing.
Aug 27, 2011
Quick and easy! Make it even easier with bagged, pre-shredded lettuce. I used only 2 cups of rice and replaced the garlic powder with 1 fresh clove, minced.

Raees, that marks the Bollywood debut of Pakistani actress Mahira Khan, has been in the making for the past two years. The actress, as she rightly puts in, has put in her sweat, tears and blood for the film and now that it is all set to release, it has been really unfortunate that she could not come down to the country to promote it.
Mahira Khan recently spoke her heart out to a Pakistani publication where she clearly expressed her displeasure of not being able to participate in the promotions of her debut Bollywood film Raees. She questioned her right to not promote the film by asking if it was really asking for too much for a film which also has her hard work. She stated that she wants to be a part of interviews with her co-star Shah Rukh Khan.
A couple of months ago, followed by the much controversial Uri attacks in Jammu and Kashmir, politicians and some social activists demanded the ban of Pakistani artists in India. After several protests, the film associations and federations came up to the conclusion of not involving Pakistani artists in films henceforth, but exceptions were given to the ones that were slated for release like Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and the ones that were already shot like Raees.
However, post the massive outrage; Raees promotions were conducted in India minus the leading lady in order to avoid any kind of controversy.
Mahira Khan, however, was extremely happy with her role and getting an opportunity of working with superstar Shah Rukh Khan. She couldn't stop gushing about our very own King Khan and called him 'magic' and a 'bloody smart' guy with whom one can talk anything about. She also expressed her gratitude towards producers Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani and director Rahul Dholakia for making her a part of the film.

I did it!!
Please remind me next November to never, ever do that again.
Also? Please feel free to shower me with gratuitous congratulatory comments. I like that kind of shit.
Today I was catching up with my reader, and since it's Sunday, the weekly addition to PostSecrets was there waiting for me. It happens on occasion that a secret will appear that is infertility or miscarriage related that seems to always strike a chord of commiseration with me. Sadly, today, there was another one that was related to secondary infertility, something I know all TOO well.
This one infuriates me almost beyond words.
Thank goodness he's at peace with his secret; with his life-altering decision. But obviously his wife will be forever altered negatively as it will be her that moves forward in life believing herself to be the failure in their quest to expand their family.
This husband is a nutless wonder, both literally and figuratively. "…getting it regularly…" is where his priority lies while every CD1 his wife probably quietly sobs in the bathroom out of earshot of their only child and wonders why god has punished her.
I hope she ends up in an affair and gets pregnant.
And for anyone who thinks as a couple's infertility testing is expensive? Might I recommend a semen analysis (SA), which can cost anywhere between $100 – 200. Ironically, the least expensive diagnostic testing when it comes to infertility is the testing available to men. Maybe someday soon, the wife in this relationship will realize this.
Quick! Sparring Partner just drove into town to get me my mocha so I'm going to get in a quickee
(teehee, I said quickie!)
Trying to brine the 21# turkey that was in the freezer for the past year. Even though it was transferred tot he fridge 4 days ago, the giblets (aka. the neck!) were still frozen inside. It could be a disaster, but it doesn't matter. Saturday and all is open. We can order a delivery ppizza if all else fails.
Sorry for the grammatical errors. no time to fix or alter since he'll rip me a new one if he catches me. NaBloPoMo be damned!
I swear there was something else I wante dot tell you but now I can't remember….only a few more of these damn posts left for November and then I swear I'm going to take 6 months off. I don't know why I do them since I know most of the posts suck.I'd ask for your forgiveness except obviously you forgave me suckiness ages ago or else you would keep coming back.
Wish us luck that the turkey doesn't explode like in the scene from that movie with Chevy Chase…not Monty Python's Christmas…jeus what the fuck was it called?! No time to google gotta go bai!!
I got up at 5:30 this morning, Black Friday, because I had to work. I didn't mind, really, because I don't believe being able to buy a DVD at $1.99 is worth the fighting and the pushing and the air of Bitch permeating the air. By the time I pulled up to the office, the local news was running. Police had been called to a fight over line-positioning at the local home improvement store as well as to break up a fight in the toy aisle at the Crazy Loving Wally World, in which there was supposedly an arrest as a result.
How would you like to make that phone call? "Honey, could you please bail me out? Bail is $200…BUT I SAVED $5.00 ON SUZIE'S DOLL HOUSE! *brief pause* Whadya mean this is the last Black Friday for me?! I will SO cut you when I get home!!"
When I got off work sometime after 2:00, I did venture into the local Tarjay. I think it's fun to be OVERLY polite as I try to manipulate the too narrow aisles with my empty cart. "Pardon me, please. May I get by?" "Excuse me…I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to bump you." "Sorry to bother you, but do you see another whateverthatwas on that shelf by you?"
My cheery smile and charming disposition is probably like a tall glass of ice-cold lemonade for those shoppers who had already been up for 12 hours. Frankly, I also like to dispel the current belief that civility has died. It wasn't too long ago that I saw a news story on how people have forgotten how to say please and thank you and especially you're welcome. We have become more rude, more selfish with our smiles; but even I can sometimes flash a toothy smile. And if *I* can, you really have no excuse, now do you?
I don't have anything profound to add to whatever everyone else has or will post today. I just want you to all have a lovely day whether you will be chillin' with your loved ones and watching the parade; wearing your fat pants and eating more than you have in one sitting then you have all month; or prepping your comfy shoes and going to bed at 5:00 p.m. in order to get up at 2:00 a.m. for Black Friday (and if that's you? You are an idiot.).
There's a woman who is from Belgium that is part of this temp group I'm with.
Preggo asked Belgium, "What are you doing for Thanksgiving?"
Belgium replies, "I don't have plans; it's not something I celebrate".
"Why not?" asks Preggo.
"Because it's an American holiday."
"Huh. You learn something new everyday, don't you?"
By the way, Preggo is taking a year off from being a teacher while she completes her gestation.
What does it say about me, that I am this idiot's equal?
If you are traveling by car this weekend, or you have friends and family hitting the roads, please share this.

RHB Research maintains Buy on Dayang
KUALA LUMPUR: RHB Research has maintained its Buy call on Dayang with a lower target price of RM4.52 based on a 16 times FY15F price per earnings.
In a note on Wednesday, the research house said in light of the enlarged share base and a larger stake in Perdana, it has updated its model and take the opportunity to lower the target price to to RM4.52.
"We lift our earnings forecast marginally and reiterate BUY on Dayang, which is a local premier oil and gas service provider with an excellent track record," it said.
Dayang has placed out the first tranche of 52.1 million shares from the 82.1 million proposed private placement. It has raised RM175.6mil proceeds, which it believed will be used to buy more Perdana's shares.
"Dayang currently owns 26.6% of Perdana's shares, given the recent share price weakness. We trim our target price to RM4.52 from RM4.80 in light of the enlarged share base and a larger stake in Perdana," it said.
It said Dayang has been slowly accumulating Perdana's shares during the recent market selldown and currently owns 26.6% of Perdana's shares.
"On the EPCC bids, we gather from our channel checks that Dayang has been bidding and preparing for an EPCC job related to an enhanced oil recovery off the coast of Sarawak," it said.

Earlier last month I waxed lyrical about the delights of this site, and we took ourselves back there last night. While the rest of the party strolled round the lake, I surveyed a more localised area a little down the path from where I had been the previous evening.
Once more the bat activity was very high. I made a fifty minute recording and there was only one minute of silence. Most of the bats were a mixture of soprano and comon pipistrelles which cavorted about in the tree canopy.
Once again I heard a Noctule over the lake, but the real treat awaited until I returned to the seat by the water to dig out my head torch.I described last time how we heard some serotines, which delighted us. These are rarely heard by us and we usually have to make do with at most half a dozen passes. Tonight there was a real treat in store and thoughts of walking transects soon fell away as the local serotines put on a fantastic display.I recorded about twenty minutes of more or less constant activity.
Serotines have a syncopated rhythm rather like a drunk jazz drummer. They have a very loose limbed relaxed slow flight and I got good views of them at times.
The others walking round the lake only heard a few serotines and when they completed the circuit of the lake we all foregathered at the seat to watch their antics. Bob and Gwen set out to do another circuit and eventually returned with grins on their faces. No,. we had not found a Nathusius but they heard something else – a Myotis which wasn't a Daubenton's as far as they could tell. It didn't hang around for long but was at a place which would be just perfect for a mist net – out of the way of both walkers and fishermen.
Another survey is on the cards.

Glenn D. Lowry
Director of Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York
Lowry's Museum of Modern Art may have only just reopened on 21 October, after four months of building works, but the $450m project to refurbish and extend the 90-year-old institution's galleries and public spaces isn't simply about showing more of the museum's 200,000 or so works. Instead, Lowry declares, it's about making 'space that allows
us to rethink the experience of art in the Museum'.
As moma's chief curator of painting and sculpture, Ann Temkin, pointed out, this isn't 'more room to do exactly what we did, the same way we did it'. Lowry's goal is for a museum oering a more global representation of art's history, and a better representation of the diversity of artists working now and across the decades. The sixty-seven-year-old
director has explained that the newly expanded museum will change its displays every six to nine months; it will be a 'work in progress' in which the linear, often static narrative of art will become an evolving one. And while MoMA's turn to a more global and plural perspective on art history might not be the first among the big international museums, no other institution can match the quality and depth of its staggering collection of twentieth- and twenty-first-century art. Meanwhile, moma's inaugural exhibitions, featuring African-American, African and Asian artists including Pope.L, Betye Saar and Haegue Yang, bear witness to its commitment to the contemporary axis of that global view.
While moma was being overhauled, its director has been busy projecting his vision of a truly global institution. Whether it was speaking out against the current freeze on museum loans between the us and Russia at a conference in February, or extolling the virtues of art scenes in the uae, India and Korea, Lowry is an incessant networker. Brokering influence is one of Lowry's strong suits – the presentation of paintings by the Kenyan Michael Armitage comes as the first of a series of shows
curated for moma by Studio Museum Harlem's Thelma Golden (herself tipped as a potential successor to Lowry). Another opening show, Sur moderno, showcases the large gift of Latin American art made by supercollector (and moma board member) Patricia Phelps de Cisneros. And while the physical moma was closed, its brand was being broadcast on yet other channels: in June moma launched its online magazine, while to mark its reopening it announced, partnering with the bbc, a 30-part podcast series on art.
To realise his vision Lowry has assiduously developed a younger generation of curatorial staff, joining key figures such as Temkin. This year saw the appointment of Briton Kate Fowle, from Moscow's Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, to helm moma ps1 in Queens. Fowle is the most recent addition to a curatorial staff that includes Stuart Comer (media and performance art), Christophe Cherix (drawings and prints), Rajendra Roy (film) and Martino Stierli (architecture and design). moma's departments, once carefully separated, are now cocurating the displays holistically.
By definition, a $450m expansion doesn't come cheap, so it helps to have friends with deep pockets – confirming its expansion plans in February, it also announced an unprecedented $200m gift from the David Rockefeller Estate. Nevertheless, Lowry has had to deal with the increasingly controversial question of private philanthropy in the wake of the
resignation of Warren Kanders from the board of the nearby Whitney Museum; as moma opened its doors for the launch party, campaigners were demanding that board member Larry Fink, ceo of financial firm Black Rock, divest from companies involved in running for-profit prisons.
Perhaps in recognition of how much moma's recent fortunes are tied to Lowry's leadership, the museum changed its rules to allow him to continue as director until 2025. Lowry's tenure is already the longest in the institution's history. Having achieved the task of turning this twentieth-century institution into one fit for the twenty-first, the question might now, as moma heads towards its centenary, be how Lowry sets the stage for his successor.

Okay, so assuming you finally know your Diabetes status, supposing it turns out to be positive, how should you go about treating it? What is the best course of action open to you? What would treatment involve and what would you need to do or refrain from doing to ensure that treatment is successful? All these questions and more will be answered in this article.
So here goes.
Generally since diabetes is referenced by an above normal presence of blood sugar (200 mg/dl or more-random plasma Glucose test or 126 mg/dl or more- fasting plasma glucose test), it is the aim of diabetes treatment to ensure that whether through medication, exercise, surgery, dietary adjustments, etc. or a combination of all these, blood sugar level is regularized and brought back to normal. However such treatment must make sure at the same time that the opposite doesn't happen-that blood sugar does not fall to abnormally low levels Januvia Coupon.
Accordingly, the monitoring of blood sugar is also an essential aspect of diabetes treatment. The first thing to note therefore, assuming you are diagnosed with diabetes is that diabetes treatment equates to diabetes management. For now strictly speaking, whether for Type 1(especially for Type 1) or Type 2 (depending on your take on reversal), there is no cure.
The second thing to note is that treatment would generally involve some life style changes. These changes will involve a combination of some or all of the following; dietary adjustments, exercise and the taking of diabetes medication like insulin and metformin.
Type 1 diabetes is treated with insulin, exercise and a diabetic diet. Type 2 on the other hand is treated first with weight reduction, a diabetic diet and exercise. And secondly in cases where this would not be enough, thereafter with diabetes medication or insulin therapy and Blood Sugar monitoring. As such training in self-management of diabetes is an indispensable part of diabetes management.
That said, it is important to note that treatment must be tailored to individual needs thereby catering to individual diabetic differences. Such treatment should therefore take into cognizance and address psycho-social, medical and lifestyle issues.
For the vast majority of people with Type 1 diabetes, insulin is the only form of medication they will need to take. For people with Type 2 diabetes however, available medication vary and depending on their circumstances, they may or may not need to take one or more of these drugs. Let's take a deeper look into treatment for Type 2 diabetes.
Healthy eating
Though there is no specific diabetes diet, since our aim is to reduce blood sugar, it is best to reduce the intake of carbohydrates, animal products, sugar and fats. Instead one should center his or her diet around vegetables, fruits and whole grains.
Foods with a low glycemic index (foods that don't raise your blood sugar quickly), typically high in fiber foods, can be helpful in assisting one to reach a stable blood sugar level.

'Avengers: Endgame' Spoilers: A Surprising Reason the Quantum Realm Is Key
Everyone's focusing on how the Quantum Realm could be the key to time travel or to migrating into an alternate reality, but what if the vital role Ant-Man plays in Avengers: Endgame has much more to do with Quantum Healing Particles shown in Ant-Man and the Wasp?
The Tesseract reduced Red Skull to a floating phantom. The Power Stone nearly destroyed the Guardians of the Galaxy. The Aether almost consumed Jane Foster. Even mighty Thanos, with the full power of the Infinity Gauntlet, probably crippled his left arm performing the Decimation that wiped out half of all living things. In most cases, you can't wield the power of the Infinity Stones without harming yourself.
Maybe that's where Quantum Healing Particles could become crucial in Avengers: Endgame, helping someone like Tony Stark wield all six Infinity Stones in a new Infinity Gauntlet to undo Thanos' Decimation.
This is just one Inverse String Theory, but it could be true. So consider yourself warned about potential Avengers: Endgame spoilers.
We all know that Scott Lang's return from the Quantum Realm factors into Endgame in some way, and his involvement in the story having close ties to the Ant-Man and the Wasp post-credits scene feels pretty obvious.
That scene already overlaps with the events of Avengers: Infinity War, depicting the deaths of Hank Pym, Hope Van Dyne, and Janet Van Dyne. Scott Lang heads into the Quantum Realm via the Quantum Tunnel to retrieve Quantum Healing Particles for Ghost. (Yeah, they really do "just put the word 'quantum' in front of everything.") Radiation from the Quantum Realm causes the cells of Ghost's body to constantly separate and reunite, and it causes her excruciating pain. By harnessing the power of the Quantum Realm, they're able to heal her.
If the Quantum Realm can do that, then surely it can prevent the Infinity Stones from destroying someone's body, right?
When Inverse spoke with Ant-Man and the Wasp director Peyton Reed in July 2018, shortly after the film's release, he hinted that these healing particles could have a wider impact on the MCU in the future.
"When it comes to this Quantum Healing research, it's safe to assume that it might have a wider application," Reed said, adding that for the time being, it was focused on Ghost. What if that "wider application" is some kind of redundant healing mechanism that Tony Stark develops using quantum energy?
One Endgame toy leak in April seemingly confirmed the popular theory that Tony Stark would create his own Infinity Gauntlet that can wield the power of the Infinity Stones. It's red, silver, and gold (just like most Iron Man suits), and the toy's box just says "Electronic Gauntlet." Stark doesn't have any magical Dwarven space metal to use on his gauntlet, so maybe incorporating Quantum Healing Particles is the next best thing.
A February fan theory from redditor u/fishgrey argues a similar theory about Iron Man's Infinity Gauntlet incorporating Quantum Healing Particles.
"I think the healing particles Ant-Man collects are crucial in helping Tony wield the Stones, or they are integrated into Tony's creation to help reverse the snap," they write. Their theory also relies on Doctor Strange sending the Space and Time Stones forward in time to Tony Stark during Endgame, which seems a little too farfetched, but we like the incorporation of Quantum Healing Particles.
Maybe the white Quantum Realm suits have a way of harnessing Quantum Healing Particles, giving the team extra defense when fighting Thanos? Even if he just incorporated it as an additional power source in his Iron Man suit, that could be a huge boon in the battle to come.
Other supposed leaks and theories, like one from redditor u/flinteastwood, say that Hulk will use Stark's gauntlet to bring back everyone Thanos erased, but it will destroy his arm in the process. If something like that does happen, maybe Quantum Healing Particles are just the thing Stark needs to fix the Hulk?
In one way or another, Endgame will explore the implications that the Quantum Realm has on the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe, and hopefully, Tony Stark has the sense to use those healing particles to give the Avengers an added advantage.
In the final lead-up to Avengers: Endgame's release, Inverse is unleashing a few fan theories of our own. Read all of them here and check back for weekly theories from some journalists who spend way too much time thinking about the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Avengers: Endgame hits theaters on April 26, 2019.

Did you know it takes approximately $498,888 to open a restaurant? This amount covers land and building costs, kitchen, bar and construction costs. Some restaurateurs are fortunate enough to use their own personal funds to get their restaurants up and running, but a majority seek outside funding to cover the necessary costs. A restaurant business loan is an excellent option if you're looking to obtain funding for your business.
Whether you want to open a casual diner or a fine dining establishment, here's what you need to know about restaurant startup loans:
The Costs of Opening a Restaurant
Applying for a restaurant business loan can be daunting. To streamline your loan process, it's important to be prepared. Before you ask lenders to fund your business, you should have an estimated amount that is needed to get your project off the ground. Your total funding must be able to cover the following business expenses:
- Loan Guarantee Fee
- Commercial Lease
- Loan Repayment (plus interest)
- Staff Wages and Benefits
- License Fees
- Restaurant Insurance
- Kitchen Equipment
- Renovations
- Working Capital
- Marketing Capital
- Beginning Stock and Inventory
Requirements when Applying for a Restaurant Loan
Before applying for any type of business loan, you need to create a detailed business plan. Additional documents potential lenders may also ask to see, include:
- Personal Background and Financial Statement
- Loan Application
- Ownership and Affiliation Documents
- Projected Financial Statements
- Profit and Loss Statement
- Business Certificate/License
- Resume
- Business Overview
- Income Tax Returns
- Loan Application History
Best Types of Restaurant Business Loans
There's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to choosing the type of restaurant loan that's just right for you. What works for you may not work for others. There are numerous factors to consider when choosing a restaurant business loan, such as down payments, interest rates, and collateral requirements.
To help you choose the best financing option for you and your business, the following are some of the most popular restaurant business loans:
1. SBA Loans
An SBA loan is a loan program created by the Small Business Administration to help small business owners secure long-term financing. The funds you obtain from an SBA loan can be used in any way you like as long as it's for the benefit of your business. Small businesses find it easier to apply for an SBA loan since every loan is partially guaranteed by the Small Business Administration.
2. Equipment Financing
The equipment you're using has a direct impact on the quality of food and service your restaurant provides. An equipment loan will provide you with the funds you need to purchase or upgrade equipment. The terms of the loan will depend on your personal credit, your business' financial strength and the type of equipment purchased.
3. Business Line of Credit
If you're familiar with how a credit card works, then it's easier for you to understand a business line of credit. With this type of loan, lenders set a maximum credit limit that you can withdraw from. Unlike a term loan, you only have to repay the amount of money you withdraw plus interest.
Are you looking to apply for a restaurant business loan? The experts at SMB Compass can help you. We offer different types of loan programs for businesses all over the United States, including yours.

SAN DIEGO: Light pollution and the Milky Way Galaxy are at the
center of an ongoing debate in San Diego about the future of the city's
night sky.
Weighing in on one side are the Palomer and Mount Laguna observatories
outside San Diego and the International Dark-Sky Association (IDSA), a
coalition of 7,000 astronomers from 69 countries whose mission is to
"protect the nighttime environment and preserve the heritage of dark
The group has orchestrated a media initiative to inform the public about
a proposal by the city's council - the other side in the debate - to
change 25,000 streetlights from yellow to sodium bulbs. The new lights
would greatly limit the ability of the observatories, as well as alter
the night view in San Diego.
"We believe that there are better solutions for San Diego than getting
rid of yellow lights that make it easier for people to enjoy the night
time," said Robert Gent, PR counsel for the IDSA.
City officials however believe that brighter lights are needed for
aesthetic purposes and because the yellow bulbs make it difficult for
police to spot criminals in the darkness.
The IDSA claims that San Diego is falling prey to the US pattern of
"overlighting its cities." The group argues that the new lights will
waste energy, endanger nocturnal species and dazzle astronomers, making
them unable to observe the "beauty of the night."
To get its message directly to the citizens of San Diego, the IDSA has
started a light pollution education program. It is also handing out
brochures and economic information. (The light change would cost the
city a proposed $2.8 million dollars.) In addition, the IDSA is
talking to zoning committees and state legislatures about the issue and
has created an information sheet so that journalists and others
interested in the issue can have fast access to basic facts.
As a compromise, the group has suggested that the city intersperse some
high sodium lights among the yellow lights in areas around business
fronts or heavily-trafficked areas.
For its efforts, the group has been profiled in The San Diego Union
Tribune, Audubon magazine, ABC News and USA Today, among others.
The city council will vote later this month on whether or not to change
the lights.
