The Army announced yesterday that it terminated a contract with Lockheed Martin to build a computer network and airframe for a spy plane for the Army and Navy, marking the second time in the past year that the service has confronted a contractor about a troubled program.
"After carefully evaluating Lockheed's proposals, we decided that the prudent course of action at this time was to terminate the contract and bring the various players — industry, the acquisition and user communities, the Navy and Air Force — back to the drawing board to make sure we all have a firm understanding of what the requirements are and the various challenges we need to overcome to make this program succeed," said Claude Bolton, assistant secretary of the Army for acquisition, logistics and technology, in an Army statement.
Lockheed Martin beat General Dynamics and Northrop Grumman in 2004 for a five-and-a-half-year, $879 million contract to develop, test and build the Aerial Common Sensor (ACS). But soon after the contract award, the Army and Lockheed Martin learned that the proposed airframe, the Embraer 145 commercial jet, was too small to house the intelligence sensors and systems, computer network and people necessary to operate them and fly the aircraft.
The Army issued a stop-work order to Lockheed Martin in September 2005 and gave the company 60 days to propose options to resolve program issues. The Army and Navy considered using the Embraer 145 at a lesser capability and swapping the aircraft for a larger one, but they decided not to pursue those ideas, said Tim Rider, an Army spokesman, in an e-mail to the media.
Bolton said the Army is not terminating ACS. He said the service remains committed to building and fielding the next-generation, reconnaissance aircraft.
ACS will replace the Army's Guardrail Common Sensor and Airborne Reconnaissance Low and the Navy's EP-3E Aries II aircraft. The aircraft's network-centric communications architecture will combine intelligence data from ground, air and space systems to detect enemy radar, communications and troop movements.
This is the second stop-work order on a major joint military program that the Army has issued in the past year. The service took steps to terminate its Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) Cluster 1 contract with Boeing in May 2005 after the company encountered heat and weight issues with the radio planned for land vehicles and rotary aircraft.
The Defense Department established the JTRS Joint Program Executive Office last year to oversee the radio's four programs, and the Navy is in charge of the office. DOD will issue a plan soon on JTRS program and acquisition changes.

Does your family calendar look like a perplexing escape room puzzle? Do you feel the minutes ticking away each day as you race to feed your family between activities? If so, you're not alone. With careful meal planning your family can stress less and eat healthier, all while avoiding the drive-thru or tapping your favorite takeout app. Meal planning seems daunting, but once you find your family favorites, the pieces of the puzzle fall into place.
Here are five tips to get you eating healthier amidst the chaos:
CREATE LISTS. I'm old school and use pencil and paper to put together our weekly menu. When it's my husband's turn to meal plan, he uses a note taking app, but we link our grocery lists together using Cozi (cozi.com) before going into the grocery store or placing our grocery order online order for pickup. Not straying from what's on the list saves money—and our food budget.
COOK ONCE. Prepare your protein or buy a rotisserie chicken early in the week. Steam cook your favorite vegetables and side dishes. Store everything in BPA-free containers like Bento Boxes (en.bentoandco.com) in individual serving sizes for quick and healthy weekday meals.
USE KITCHEN GADGETS. Let the gadgets do the work for you. I love using my crock pot. It's easy to dump the ingredients into it in the morning, and my meal is ready to serve at dinner. I've also heard that Instant Pots (instantpot.com) are great for those who don't plan their meals much before dinner hour.
DOUBLE UP. I love cooking in the morning since I don't like cooking dinner when I'm tired and hungry. When doubling up, I like to make my tried and true casseroles. They're easy to make and freeze well, so I cook once and freeze the other for another busy night. I don't cook with salt, so my freezer meal is a healthier version of a Stouffer's meal.
GRAB AND GO. Fill the fruit bowl, designate a drawer in the fridge with healthy snack options, and use clear over-the-door shoe organizers in the pantry to make grabbing snacks easy and fun.
Meal planning allows my family to eat healthier and save money by avoiding fast food. The average fast food meal is between $5 and $8 per person, but the cost of cooking at home averages out to less than $3 per person. Do the math for your family and you can see how meal prep with a busy family schedule saves you in the long run. On top of that, we eat more meals together and stay within our monthly food budget, too. I post our weekly dinner menu on the refrigerator so there are no surprises or questions about what's for dinner. It's a win-win. The kids know what we're eating, and I'm not struggling to put well-balanced meals together at the last minute for my already hungry, busy, over-extended family.

Trying to to conceive, struggling with infertility and IVF and then being pregnant with JRA.

Third Trimester Update
Third trimester and I'm feeling very much like that monkey. I am 35 weeks with about 4 1/2 weeks left and it feels like it may never end! The beginning of the third trimester was nice! I had a nice round belly, energy and had learned how to manage my least favorite symptom of heartburn. We had my baby shower and we were blessed with so many generous gifts!
However, the past few weeks things have been more difficult. First, I started talking to my doctors about what to do with my Enbrel dose as we get closer to delivery. After a lot of back and forth between my OB and rheumatologist with many confusing and different opinions, we decided to taper my enbrel at 32 weeks. It was frustrating coming to this decision because I didn't feel like either of my doctors had strong opinions either way and left a lot of the decision up to me. After a month of the slow taper, I started to become sore again. It was hard to determine if this was a flare or just the added pregnancy weight. However, finally my OB and rheumatologist agreed to go back to weekly enbrel doses as I was worried about a flare right before delivery. Enbrel is considered safe during breast feeding and I will just need to let my pediatrician know in order to delay any live vaccines.
In terms of pregnancy symptoms, the fatigue, aches and pains and cramps have increased this past week. I have had weekly non-stress tests and during each test I have been having contractions. Although, I have not felt these so no one seems concerns yet. However, it was scary when the nurse mentioned this! It made it seem much more real! Baby continues to kick constantly and usually I can see his foot poking out around my right side.
In my final few weeks, I have lots of "nesting" tasks I want accomplished, but we will see what really gets done! I can't wait to meet this baby boy.

Choosing a rug shape can make or break the room you're placing a rug in. A round rug might not look as good as a rectangular rug in a living or dining room. You'll find rugs with traditional shapes such as square, circular or rectangular but there are also a variety of unique rug shapes out there.
The most unique rug shapes belong in the contemporary category. Recently it's become popular to use abstract shapes and designs for a rug. These works of art make any room come alive.
Narrow rugs are expected to be used for hallways while sheepskin and other animal hide rugs can be used in dens or living rooms. A small yet cozy circular rug would go perfectly in a bathroom while floral rugs often come in rigid shapes to mimic leaves. Keep in mind the shapes used to design the rug as well.
Let's explore the basics of choosing the correct rug shape for any room of the house.
1. Coordinate With Other Furniture
Look at the tables, sofas and other fixtures in the room where you'll place the rug. The rug should fit in conveniently with your floor plan. If you want an abstract shaped rug with rigid angles then you may want to place other furniture from different angles as well.
For a traditional living room, a square or rectangular shape will work perfectly. For instance, you may have a coffee table, two couches and a loveseat in your living room. Traditional rug shapes will compliment the area when they are placed neatly in the center of the room.
Animal hide rugs may look good in your living room as well. Rugs similar to authentic sheepskin usually come in an odd shape since they're the outline of the actual animal. These odd rug shapes also look great in bedrooms.
2. Think About The Theme Of The Room
What's the theme or style of the room you want to place the rug in? Is it a child's room with a jungle theme? For a room like this, an abstract or playful design would look amazing. On the other hand, it may be for your basement with a calming theme or relaxed design. In this case, you probably want to go with a more traditional rug shape.
For modern rooms, diamond, triangular and other abstract rugs will fit perfectly. If the theme of the room is a cozy feel then you should go with a square or rectangular design. Animal skin rugs will look great in rooms with a nature theme or focus.
3. Consider The Size Of The Room
Rectangular and square shaped rugs look the best in large rooms. This is because these two shapes usually come in larger sizes than rugs with an abstract shape. If you want an oddly shaped rug in the room, it will probably be relatively small. Keep this in mind when looking for the right rug shape.
Large circular rugs often work well in dining rooms. For smaller rooms, such as a bedroom, it won't be hard to find or fit an abstract shape in. You can place it by the bed or a window to add personality to the room. Some people like an abstract shaped rug in the kitchen as well. A small rug can be placed near the sink or by the front door. These rugs also make for interesting outdoor rugs to put on your doorstep.
4. What Kind Of Room Is It?
Different kinds of rugs will suit a certain type of room. You wouldn't put a living room rug in a bedroom or a bedroom rug in a living room. This idea also applies to the size of the room. Most people would want an evenly sided rectangular or square shaped rug in a dining room because dining rooms are usually thought of as neat and tidy. A leisure room or basement may incorporate different rug shapes since these areas often show more personality.
Living rooms can have just about any shaped rug. The rug shape will depend more on the theme of the room than the location. Bedrooms are another area where you're free to choose any rug design. Bedrooms are personalized and are a great place to put an abstract rug design such as a diamond, oval or a rug with rigid edges.
5. What Is The Rug Made From?
Wool rugs are usually shaped in a traditional square or rectangular shape because wool fibers would be difficult for a manufacturer to shape into an odd shape such as a triangle. A silk rug will probably come in a few different designs and shapes. The material is easier to work with and can fit any shape or design. Of course, the material will also distinguish how the rug will look. Animal skin hide rugs can come in the outline of the animal they were on such as a fox or deer.
If you're looking for an abstract rug shape it'll probably be made from synthetic materials like polypropylene. Nylon and polyester are a few other materials which synthetic rugs are made of. Cotton rugs are pretty easy to cut and maneuver as well. Overall, when looking for an oddly shaped rug, a synthetic material will probably work best.

Inyanga offers TB drugs to patients
Main Section
By BHEKI GAMA - SWAZI TIMES-20-Jul-2009
MANZINI-A popular herbalist is accused of distributing drugs which should be issued by a qualified medical doctor.
The herbalist gave a Mankayane woman tuberculosis (TB) drugs without taking the necessary tests to established whether or not she had TB.
The pills were brought by her husband who had gone to consult the traditional healer over her continuous bouts of cough. When the cough continued, she came to this hospital, said a doctor at Mankayane Government Hospital, adding that she explained to him that she had been coughing for over two weeks. She then displayed drugs which she said she had been told to take for two weeks, he said, adding: It was clear that the drugs were Rifafour, prescribed to TB patients by a doctor and should be taken for six months.
The doctor said after questioning the source of the tablets, he established that they were issued by the herbalist to her husband. Her husband had gone to see the traditional healer over her sickness, probably after watching him (healer) advertising himself on television as someone who had a cure. But these drugs should be taken religiously for six months or the patient would develop resistance to TB treatment, he explained.
The doctor said he could not rule out the possibility of counterfeit TB drugs in the hands of such healers. He said he lost track of the patient as he was preparing a report on the issue to be taken to the Director of Health Services in the Ministry of Health, but said he was still pursuing the issue, which he said should be addressed sooner than later. He said he wanted the report to establish the source of the drugs so that those involved could be dealt with accordingly. However, he decried drug regulation in the country, saying it left a lot to be desired. If there is no proper regulation of the usage of medicines, we are at risk as a nation, he observed.
He said herbalists and others practising traditional medicine should be regulated to avoid a health crisis. What concerned me deeply was the fact that the population was in danger of developing drug resistance if TB drugs are distributed anyhow, he said, mentioning that drug resistance led to MDR strain, which is harder to treat. He said anyone was at risk of getting MDR directly from an MDR sufferer.

One Midlands man has been making a splash in the world of swimming for more than 35 years. Coach Stanley McIntosh's dedication to the sport and to local youth led one of his own swimmers to nominate him as a WIS Community Builder in partnership with Mungo Homes.
"He's done so much for the team, and he has such a big heart for swimming, he was just fit for it," said Adriane Belton, who nominated McIntosh. "I just had to do it."
Belton is one of more than 20 swimmers who participate in the winter swimming season with the Greenview Dolphins at Columbia's Drew Wellness Center.
Coach Stanley started coaching the Greenview Dolphins USA swim team in 1977, and he hasn't come up for air since.
"It was just a summer swim team up until the Drew Wellness Center was built in 2006, and then with access we became a year-round swim team," Stanley said. "We instill in our children anything is possible with hard work, and we push them pretty hard."
Stanley works another job so many of his hours are volunteer.
"This is really a 40-hour job, but they can't afford a full-time coach so I volunteer a tremendous amount of my time," Stanley said. "There's a lot of paperwork that goes along with coaching a USA swim team."
But his efforts and his heart for his swimmers haven't gone unnoticed. Belton and her fellow swimmers say Coach Stanley is one-of-a-kind.
"[He's] spiritual, passionate, loving, caring, would do anything for you," Belton said. "He has a heart of gold. He's everything that you would look for in a coach or in a person to take care of your child while you're not there."
WIS and Mungo Homes surprised Stanley at one of the team's recent practices.
"We've heard of you up at Mungo Homes and all the great things you're doing here at the Drew Wellness Center," said Mary Mungo. "So we're here to let you know that you're this week's Community Builder, and we're going to donate $1,000 to the charity of your choice through the Michael J. Mungo Foundation.
With Stanley left speechless, his swimmers were standing by to cheer him on, returning the favor for what he does for them every day.

OK, heres a question.
Ive been running some groups on egroups, now yahoogroups, for a while. It

(they could either giver certian folks mod rights to certian fuinctions
(fairly easily with the set up there) or not) and we could do some neat
things with polls and the databse functions there. Not to mentiont he 20

Microneedling is a popular treatment that helps to improve the appearance of scars, refine the skin's texture and minimize lines and wrinkles. It works by creating hundreds of microscopic injuries in the dermis and epidermis using an automated device called the SkinPen®. As the device traverses the skin's surface it deploys 12 tiny needles (between 0.5 - 3.0mm deep) into dermal tissue to create a deliberate but highly controlled "trauma." Immediately after treatment the body activates a powerful healing response, helping to boost natural collagen production and improve the skin's appearance.
Microneedling with the SkinPen® treats the following conditions:
SkinPen® treatments can be done on their own or in combination with other therapies such as PRP (platelet rich plasma). PRP uses one's own blood to boost healing by introducing naturally-occurring growth factors which are abundant in the plasma component of blood. Plasma seeps into the deep permal layers through the tiny holes created by the SkinPen®. Once the skin has fully recovered from the Microneedling then Dysport can be administered to relax dynamic wrinkles on the forehead, frown and around the eyes.
Normally 3-6 sessions are required to see dramatic improvement. Results can take up to 30 days to become visible after each session as the skin heals itself and builds new collagen. Immediately after treatment theskin can feel tight and have a reddish-pink appearance. This usually clears up after 48 hours.

high-society supply.com for the purpose
of this review they want me to give my
honest opinion on it so that's what I'm
here to do so what I have today is my

Piarco, Trinidad and Tobago, June 25, 2019. Caribbean Airlines Cargo has entered into an interline agreement with Alaska Airlines, which expands the airline's cargo network by a further sixteen destinations.

The agreement was reached at a meeting in Georgetown with CARICOM (Caribbean Community) chairman and Guyana president Bharrat Jagdeo.
Both parties have agreed to have former Commonwealth Secretary General Shridath Ramphal as the mediator, the Cana News reported.
West Indies Players' Association (WIPA) has been fighting the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) over pay but returned after the appointment of Ramphal at the meeting convened by Jagdeo, at the request of the WIPA.
"It was agreed that, in light of the mediation agreement the parties expect to lead to the resolution of outstanding issues, all the players will make themselves available for selection," they said in a joint statement.
WIPA and WICB have also agreed to each nominate a facilitator to assist Ramphal in his work.
"The mediation team, with assistance from the Caricom secretariat, would begin work immediately," they said in the statement.
"Both parties have taken this step, mindful of the interest of their respective organisations but conscious also of their wider responsibility to the people of the West Indies and the international sport of cricket," the organisations added.
The memorandum of understanding was signed by WIPA President Dinanath Ramnarine and WICB President Dr Julian Hunte in the presence of the Guyanese leader.
The latest dispute erupted two weeks ago, when 13 of the leading players made themselves unavailable for the first Test against Bangladesh in St Vincent, citing pay and contract issues.

PR professionals need to know how to write well.
This is an obvious statement.
The problem is not always the writer. The issue is whether or not the person behind the keyboard is writing effectively. With pressure to meet deadlines and surpass competition, many of us end up composing press releases that look like inter-office emails that don't deserve signatures.
In this Ragan.com article, Roula Amire reveals what writing mistakes annoy communicators the most. Hint: Affect vs. Effect.
Tips for avoiding these mistakes:
1. Read your work backwards before submitting and/or posting it anywhere.
If you have read any of those paragraphs, sprinkled with words where the surrounding letters of a single word remains the same while those on the inside are scrambled (especially crucial to MySpace bulletins circa 2006), you recognize that it is easy to overlook spelling errors when reading in a linear fashion. Our brains are wired to somewhat disregard minor spelling errors as long as all of the original letters from a word are present. By reading your text backwards, word-by-word, it is easy to pick out spelling mistakes because reading is not fluid (or enjoyable) when done in reverse.
2. Inanimate objects cannot complete actions
Your book cannot reveal details about breakthrough scientific evidence as much as your car cannot drive you to work. Identify a subject when possible throughout your written pieces to create active statements.
3. AP Style
The AP Style book is not just for journalists. If anything, PR professionals should always have one on hand since working with journalists is an integral part of the job. From standards concerning common abbreviations to rules about capitalization, PR pros should always have an AP Style book nearby.
4. Have, has, had
Circle all of the verbs in your piece. Are you using the correct tense(s) throughout? Make sure you adjust the wording according to any changes to preexisting verbs.
5. Flowery Language – Adjective Overload
PR writing should be crisp, concise, and powerful. Writers don't create strong pieces with the aid of a thesaurus. Determine whether or not your piece is cluttered with unnecessary adjectives by crossing them out. If your message is unclear, vague, or weak without these adjectives, it's time to modify your content.


text: The most effective Incident Response teams are cross-functional and include representatives from senior-level executives to HR, finance, PR, IT and security teams, as well as outside cyber security experts and law firms, so every chain of command understands how to identify and react to an incident that may affect them. For example, depending on the magnitude of an incident, forensics will be conducted by the security team and corrective actions will be taken by network/system administrators. Business functions such as finance or human resources could have protocols to follow, as confidential financial or employee information is often at risk when there is a cyberattack.

Office Fitness Launches Active Rooms
Monday, 5 October 2015 00:32:00 Europe/London
Office Fitness Active Rooms is a practical and cost-effective means by which companies can embark on a Health at Work initiative for their employees. The concept involves a hot-desking style facility with standing desks and associated fitness equipment for standing, stepping and walking whilst working. Employers can allow staff to take an exercise break but still remain productive.
The idea of standing for periods during the day is key as studies carried out by the Mayo Clinic shows the simple act of being upright burns 40% more calories, raises heart rates on average by 10bpm and helps stave off many of the damaging effects of prolonged sedentary behaviour reported so widely in recent studies
The British Heart Foundation (BHF) research, carried out in December 2012 with YouGov, found that nearly one in five workers (18%) do absolutely no physical activity during working hours and only 27% manage 20 minutes or less over the entire working day.
Being desk-bound translates to work stress with two-fifths of employers reporting stress-related absence has increased over the last year ( average cost of absence per employee is £600 per year)
To find how easy it is to set up an Active Room download the attached images.

Elbphilharmonie Hamburg Großer Saal
Jason Moran / Alicia Hall Moran / Imani Winds
Hamburg International Music Festival
Alicia Hall Moran and Jason Moran are not just a perfect partnership personally; musically speaking, they are also a dream team of modern-day black America. He achieved world fame as one of the most creative jazz pianists of his generation (and beyond). In her performances, Alicia Hall Moran draws from her training as a classical opera singer and approaches her parts with the freedom of an artist who has a mastery of a number of styles. Their latest joint project – with a distinguished line-up of jazz musicians and the Imani Winds ensemble – recreates the Great Migration, which saw around 6 million African Americans move from the southern states to the north and the east of the US over the course of the twentieth century. It was a transformation that led to the development of the continent's amazingly diverse musical identity, blending rhythm 'n' blues, gospel, classical, soul, Broadway and jazz.

A 43-year-old man was robbed and bitten by his attackers' dog near Division and Bryant streets on Tuesday morning. The victim was reportedly walking down Division Street minutes after midnight when he was approached by a group of three men, estimated to be 25, 40 and 50 years old and their dog.
The victim became involved in a verbal argument with one of the suspects, while the others stole his backpack and a purse and ran away. As the suspects fled, their dog bit the victim, causing minor injuries. The victim was transported to the hospital for treatment, and police have not reported an arrest in the incident.
On Monday, a 52-year-old man was reportedly assaulted and robbed near 19th and Mission streets. The victim told police that he was sitting down near the intersection when a man estimated to be in his 50s approached him and assaulted him. The suspect then took the victim's wallet and fled in an unknown direction – police have not reported an arrest.
Crime is trauma and the county offers different services, which can be found here. Victims of violent crime can also contact the Trauma Recovery Center at UCSF.

June 23: Silence & Submission
1 Timothy 2 is a chapter many Christians wish was not written. The Apostle's Paul's words seem patriarchal and downright impossible. No braided hair? Or expensive clothes? Or women in church who are not "silent"? Really? This message seeks to faithfully explore Paul's provocative words in context and the issue of men and women working together in the church.

Should Boys Also Get Vaccinated For HPV?
STEVE INSKEEP, host:
Okay, let's look at one of those vaccines - the HPV vaccine, which is given mainly to adolescent girls. NPR's Brenda Wilson has been following the debate among scientists about also immunizing boys.
BRENDA WILSON: If this were a high school debate, it would go something like this. Be it resolved�that all adolescent girls and boys should be vaccinated against HPV, the virus that causes cervical cancer, before they are sexually active, since more than half of all sexually active men and women will get HPV at some point in their lives.
In the affirmative, there's Dr. Doug Lowy, co-inventor of the HPV vaccine, who works at the National Cancer Institute. He says that since just 11 percent of girls now get all three doses of�the vaccine, and less than half get even one dose, rates of HPV in the U.S. are unlikely to come down very much. So, let's offer the vaccine to boys as well.��
Dr. DOUG LOWY (National Cancer Institute): When the percentage of girls that are getting vaccinated are in the 30 to 40 percent range, vaccinating boys is suggested to have a substantial enhancing impact on trying to protect those girls who are not vaccinated.
WILSON: He says it would provide herd immunity. Boys don't get cervical cancer but they transmit HPV. Vaccinating boys would reduce the amount of HPV circulating in the population.�
Speaking for the opposing side, Dr. Matt Daley, a pediatrician and professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, would tell you that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended that 11 and 12-year-old girls get the vaccine because it's girls that get cervical cancer. It just takes time for new vaccines to catch on, particularly vaccines for adolescents.
Dr. MATT DALEY (Pediatrician, University of Colorado School of Medicine): Some adolescents don't have health insurance. Some adolescents don't have a medical home; and even adolescents who have a medical home, adolescents who have health insurance, they just don't go to the doctor very often. And so if they're not seen, then it's a lot harder�for us to vaccinate them.
WILSON: And when they get to the office, Daley says, pediatricians don't often offer the vaccine because they don't like talking to 11 and 12-year-olds about sex.�Some have suggested making the HPV vaccine part of a series of shots that adolescents get the way infants get their shots.��
Dr. Diane Solomon, who is in charge of prevention at NCI, says the CDC's recommendation on whether to vaccinate boys really comes down to cost effectiveness. There's just not much benefit in vaccinating boys.
Dr. DIANE SOLOMON (National Cancer Institute): The greatest�benefit in terms of health care costs is with decreasing cervical cancer and cervical abnormalities. Men don't have a cervix.
WILSON: Even though the HPV vaccine protects against anal cancer and genital warts in men as well, vaccinating boys still doesn't bring down costs enough.
In Australia, where the vast majority of adolescent girls in schools and young women as well, were vaccinated, cases of vaginal and precancerous lesions are already declining. And NCI's Lowy points out, boys also benefited. He says there are also increasing cases of oral cancer caused by HPV - about half cases as many cases as cervical cancer - that the vaccine may protect against as well.
Dr. LOWY: At the moment, there just are no data indicating whether or not the vaccine will protect even against oral infection by the virus. On the other hand, there is every reason to presume that that would be the case.
WILSON: Without the data, the Food and Drug Administration is unlikely to license the HPV vaccine as protection against oropharyngeal cancers. But University of Colorado's Dr. Matt Daley still says the best bet is a stronger effort to reach girls, perhaps by vaccinating them where's it's easier to find them - at school.
Dr. DALEY: Kids are there, and they're there every day. They're a captive audience.
WILSON: Of course, he says, you'd have to create a better system for financing childhood vaccines to make that work.

Irish Whiskey Cake with Walnuts and Raisins
We used to sell this hearty cake chock full of raisins and nuts at the Commissary restaurant. It will cut better if you make it a day or two before you plan to serve it. Since it's glazed instead of frosted, a whole cake wrapped in plastic wrap and tied with a ribbon makes a grand present. You will need an Angel Food tube pan.
make ahead Cake can be made up to three days ahead and stored, well-wrapped, at room temperature. It can also be frozen for up to a month.
1 pound walnuts, coarsely broken
1 pound golden raisins
2¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 pound unsalted butter, room temperature
2 cups sugar
6 eggs, separated
1 teaspoon table salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup Irish whiskey
½ cup sugar
½ cup water
1 cup Irish whiskey, divided
1 Grease and flour a 10-inch angel food tube pan. Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 275°.
2 In a large bowl, combine walnuts, raisins and flour and toss them together. Using a mixer, cream butter, sugar, egg yolks, salt, baking soda and whiskey until fluffy. Pour this mixture into the nut mixture and mix to combine. Wash the mixer and the beaters in hot soapy water before the next step because the egg whites won't expand well if there is grease on the bowl or beaters.
3 Put egg whites into the clean bowl and beat until soft peaks form. Add a third of the egg whites into the cake batter and stir to lighten. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 1 hour and then cover the top with foil so it won't brown too much while it continues baking for another hour or so. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, but it shouldn't be wet. This time may vary some, depending on your oven. Let the cake cool completely before glazing and unmolding it.
4 To make the glaze, combine sugar, water and ½ cup whiskey in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes. Cool to the temperature of bath water and add the remaining whiskey.
5 Leaving the cake in its pan, use a pastry brush to brush the top of the cake with the glaze. Let it soak in for a few minutes and brush on another layer.
6 Loosen the sides of the cake by running a long spatula or knife around the edges, including the center hole. Invert cake onto a serving dish and apply the remaining glaze to the top and sides of the cake. This may take 10 minutes or so because the cake won't absorb the glaze all at once. Wrap the cake securely in plastic and let it stand in the refrigerator or at room temperature for a day or two before serving.
Variations For a chocolate variation, substitute ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa for ¾ cup flour. You can also make a rum cake with pecans and apricots, for example, by substituting pecans for walnuts, dried apricots for all or part of the raisins, and dark rum for the whiskey.
Serves 16-20

Fifteen years after BMW changed the way people consumed its marketing by using big-name directors to produce a series of internet-only short films featuring BMW cars, the German automaker has announced the initiative will be relaunched.
The first film of the new series will be aired at 6pm on 23 October (EST) via BMW's microsite and, like each of the previous eight films which formed the series named The Hire, the protagonist known as The Driver will be again played by British actor Clive Owen.
The yet-to-be released filmed titled The Escape will be directed by 37-year-old Hollywood director Neill Blomkamp, who already has box-office hits such as the 2009 film District 9 and, more recently, the 2015 film Chappie to his name.
"I was like, 'man, count me in'," Blomkamp told The Hollywood Reporter. "When I was in film school, these films were really groundbreaking. They seemed like the perfect halfway point between commercials and features.
"I actually emailed the production company as a 20-year-old and was like, 'I'd really like to make one of these.' They wrote back, 'Never contact us again.' And here I am!"
The 11-minute short film will be a continuation of the original eight-part series, where regardless of each film's individual plot, Owen would save the day with an impressive display of highly skilled driving in an equally impressive BMW car.
Owen will be joined by other big-name stars such as Dakota Fanning, Vera Vermiga and Jon Bernthal in the film which, though so far unconfirmed, is likely to be the first of many in a new series.
The original eight-part, internet-only series was enormously successful. The films were directed by the likes of Joe Carnahan, Wong Kar-wai, Guy Ritchie, John Woo and the late Tony Scott, and all featured talent like Gary Oldman, Mickey Rourke and Madonna starring alongside Owen.
In the early days of broadband internet, the films returned incredible traffic for the German carmaker, with 11 million views reported in the first four months, a figure which blew out to a reported 100 million views in four years — impressive by the world's internet viewing standards of the early 2000s.
BMW reported a 12 percent rise in new car sales following the release of films, which it in part accredited to the series' remarkable popularity.

In this review
What Car? says...
Seat has been on one heck of a roll for the past few years. Arguably, it was the current Seat Leon that kicked off the brand's revival back in 2012, and, since then, the arrival of a new Ibiza, followed by all-new models such as the Ateca and Tarraco SUVs, has kept it going from strength to strength. There's even a new brand offshoot, Cupra, which encompasses all the sportier models.
If you're after a family car, though, is the Leon one to pop on your shortlist? Well, it's closely related to its VW Group cousins the Volkswagen Golf and Skoda Octavia, and Seat hasn't rested on its laurels with the sharply styled Leon; it was given a light refresh back in 2017. That brought new infotainment systems and more efficient engines to keep it competitive against newer arrivals, such as the latest Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra.
This review is all about the hatchback version, which is now available only with five doors (originally you could buy a three-door version as well). You can also get it as an estate, which you can read about by clicking this link.
If it's the hatchback you're after, click over the page, where we'll start telling you all about how the Leon performs on the road, then continue reading to find out what it's like inside, how much space it offers, and how much it'll cost you to buy and run. In other words, everything you need to know before making a decision.
And when you are ready to purchase a new Leon, or any other new car, for that matter, head over to our New Car Buying section, where we can offer you fantastic deals without the faintest whiff of a haggle.

This design has a nice aesthetic. I'm not sure if I see it as a bus stop or some sort of small pavilion. Where this really fails is in your choice of material. That timber, even if reclaimed, seems like an excessive waste of precious resources. With some modifications this could be a really nice design. 3 stars.

nice, but excessively wasteful, and gravity wouldnt allow your roof to stay there.

this is really nice and simple, i was going to do a project just like this, until this was posted, so i had to shift gears and produce a different bus stop - really thoughtful though
Posted Sep 24, 2009 3:09 PM by steveds
The principal theme was to find a solution that allows the best flexibility without to compromise the visibility of signage and to find a solution in regard of environment.
So the choice is to use timber module, because it allows various compositions, future expansion and it is interesting about the life cycle of "product"; also the next bus stop is designed in order to be self sufficient by a wind power micro system put on lighting system.
The distribution is organized by two access: the first is on perpendicular axis, it is thought for allowing to connect the shelter with back side or side walk (bikers or people coming from parking ); the other allows the usability of desabled person helped also by raise floor to go into buses. Inside the shelter a multi functions panel and seats are present, the panel can give information about bus route information, traffic information, ticketing, urban plan, wheather or events on town.
The surface treatment of walls and roof lets in the day light making parts directly illuminated and parts in the shade.
Lighting system rides around the glass strip that divide the roof from the block system of shelter and it allows to be visibility from afar also at night.
The glass strip is used to hide a micro wind power system that provides with renewable energy both lighting system and multi functions panel.

We all dream about a big and spacious house. Who can resist the beauty of a landscaped backyard or an elegant patio? However, if you are living in the city, you wouldn't be able to afford to buy a mansion, even if you have a few million to spare.
However, the one thing that you can do is to make your rooms feel a lot bigger than they actually are, and we will take a look at how.
The Four Tips to Help Your Home Look Bigger
Decorating your home properly and smartly can make you feel a lot comfortable. Smart and beautiful decoration can help you make the most of every inch in your home. Here are a few tips that will make your home look more spacious.
- Choose light colours for walls and floors
Light colours can do some magic when it comes to small spaces. They affect the eyes. Lighter colours and shades will make people see the places wider than they really are. So, white sounds a reasonable choice for small homes and apartments. There are other options too such as beige or very light blue. Pastel colours can work for your favor too.
The lighter you go, the wider your home would look. You don't have to give up on your favorite colour palette. It is just you need to pick lighter shades of your desired colours.
- Avoid dark furniture
Using a combination of light furniture and light colours can make a place look bigger. Sometimes, dark furniture can give a feeling of sophistication and elegance. However, light furnishing can add a touch of beauty. You can create some sort of contrast between light and dark by using dark decoration items. Cushions come at the top of these suggestions. You canuse cushions with a few dark shades on light seats and sofas. Wow Cushions is the right place to come if you need to shop for cushions. You can visit their website to get in-depth details on their latest items.
- Use some huge wall decorations
Wall decorations and mirrors can revive the look and feel of any room. It is important to select huge pieces that will decorate your wall. Your big mirrors can also contribute the feeling of width and openness of any room. Hanging them in the right spots is important. For instance, places that they can show and reflect sunlight to your rooms. This way the rooms appear brighter and wider than their actual size.
- Go for smart and modern furniture
You should know that traditional and classic furniture is not an option for small homes. Such items are made for spacious units. Luckily, we have suitable alternatives. You will find endless options for functional and built-in furniture items. For example, you can get a couch that can be turned into a small bed. You can get one that offers a hidden space for storing your inventory.
The right decoration won't let the space issue get to your nerves anymore. Just remember to make some practical choices.

Your sudden gain in weight might not be due to those junk food crawls, midnight snack runs, or even those dessert binges. Going on detox shouldn't be your immediate go-to remedy. Detox and weight loss aren't always a positive correlation.
Sometimes, what might appear as weight or fat gain on the surface could actually be swelling or bloating. Caused by the accumulation of fluid in the body. While temporary and easily treatable in most cases: it can sometimes be an indication of a different medical condition. It is important to know why you are gaining weight. So that you can make an informed decision to take the best course of action.
An average of approximately 60%-70% of the human body is composed of water. Water is absolutely vital for the body to function properly. There is a reason hydration is key. The circulatory system uses fluid to move nutrients, gases, and wastes to and from cells. To fight diseases as well as to help stabilize the body's temperature and pH.
Fluid Retention (also known as edema) in the body is an excessive accumulation of fluid. In the circulatory system, body tissues and/or cavities.
Two types of fluids move through the circulatory system: blood and lymph. The blood and the heart and blood vessels form the cardiovascular system. The lymph and the lymph nodes and lymph vessels form the lymphatic system.
One of the lymphatic system's major jobs is to collect extra lymph fluid from body tissues. And return it to the blood. This process is important because water, proteins, toxins and other substances are continuously leaking out of tiny blood capillaries into the surrounding body tissues. Which in turn needs to be eliminated from the body. The removal of this excess fluid from the body is known as Detoxification.
Today detox and weight loss diets are more popular than they have ever been. They claim to cleanse the bloodstream and remove all forms of toxins from the body in a short period of time. The process typically involves a specific time-frame of fasting; followed by a strict diet of fruits, vegetables, juices, herbs, teas and sometimes cleansing supplements.
Detox therapies are generally recommended to victims of exposure to toxic substances. In order to flush them out of the system. Through our immediate environment, our body is often exposed to such chemicals. And thus are equipped to deal with them naturally without external assistance.
Research on detoxification diet plans is insufficient. There is a lack of evidence to prove a correlation between detox diets and healthy detoxification as well as detox and weight loss.
Lymphatic drainage treatment activates the flow of lymph through the lymphatic pathways. In the body which collect and removal of waste products from the body tissues.
Define Aesthetics Lymphatic Drainage treatment uses intermittent pneumatic pressotherapy to massage the extremities of the body. This stimulates the lymphatic system, activating the lymphatic pathways in the body which collect waste products and facilitate lymphatic drainage from the body tissues.

Read an extract: The Shanghai Wife by Emma Harcourt
Forbidden friendship, political conspiracy and incendiary passion draw Australian woman Annie Brand deep into the glamour and turmoil of 1920s Shanghai. Leaving behind the loneliness and trauma of her past in country Australia, Annie Brand arrives to the political upheaval and glittering international society of Shanghai in the 1920s. Journeying up the Yangtze with her new husband, the ship's captain, Annie revels in the sense of adventure but when her husband sends her back to Shanghai, her freedom is quickly curtailed. Against her will, Annie finds herself living alone in the International Settlement, increasingly suffocated by the judgemental Club ladies and their exclusive social scene: one even more restrictive than that she came from. Sick of salacious gossip and foreign condescension, and desperate to shake off the restrictions of her position in the world, Annie is slowly drawn into the bustling life and otherness of the real Shanghai, and begins to see the world from the perspective of the local people, including the servants who work at her husband's Club. But this world is far more complex and dangerous than the curious Annie understands and, unknowingly, she becomes caught in a web of intrigue and conspiracy as well as a passionate forbidden love affair she could not have predicted: one with far–reaching consequences...

Juliette Gordon Low was born Juliette Magill Kinzie Gordon in Savannah, Georgia, she became known as "Daisy" after her uncle saw her as a baby girl and said, "I'll bet she'll be a daisy!" Daisy was always jumping into new games, hobbies and ideas. Another one of her nicknames was "Little Ship". Juliette acquired this nickname while living with her maternal grandparents in Chicago during the Civil War. Juliette's grandfather, John Kinzie, was a Native American agent and young Juliette often played with Native American children. Juliette loved to hear the story about her great-grandmother, who was captured by Native Americans. A grain of rice thrown at the wedding became lodged in Juliette's bad ear. When it was removed, her ear drum was punctured and became infected, causing her to become completely deaf in that ear. Juliette's hearing was severely limited for the rest of her life. Juliette is responsible for founding the first girl scout organization of America.
Juliette was an American youth leader and the founder of the Girl Scouts of the USA in 1912.
Juliette was the adopted daughter of the Seneca chief Cornplanter in the years she dwelt with the tribe, Eventually, the Seneca said they'd give Juliette's great-grandmother whatever gift she wanted, and she chose to go back home. The Seneca let her go. The shorter version of the nickname was bestowed on young Juliette.
Juliette was educated in several prominent boarding schools, including the Virginia Female Institute (now Stuart Hall School) and Mesdemoiselles Charbonniers (a French finishing school in New York City).
When she was about 25 years old, Juliette suffered an ear infection that was treated with silver nitrate. This treatment damaged her ear, causing her to lose a great deal of her hearing in that ear.
At the age of 26, even though her parents had apprehensions, she married William Mackay "Willy" Low, the son of a wealthy cotton merchant in Savannah and England. William's mother was a native of Savannah, Georgia. Their wedding took place on 21 December, 1886 which happened to be her parents' 29th wedding anniversary. A grain of rice thrown at the wedding became lodged in Juliette's good ear. When it was removed, her ear drum was punctured and became infected, causing her to become completely deaf in that ear. Juliette's hearing was severely limited for the rest of her life.
Juliette's marriage to Mr. Low proved to be childless. Although the couple moved to England, Juliette continued her travels and divided her time between the British Isles and America. During the Spanish-American War, Juliette came back to America to aid in the war effort. Juliette helped her mother organise a convalescent hospital for wounded soldiers returning from Cuba. Juliette's father was commissioned as a general in the U.S. Army and served on the Puerto Rican Peace Commission.
As early as 1901, due to her husband's infidelities, Juliette intended to get a divorce. However, her husband died in 1905 before the divorce proceedings could be finalized. When his will was read Juliette discovered that her husband had left his money to his mistress. Juliette was left with a small widow's pension. It was in 1911 that Juliette met Second Boer War hero (and founder of the Scouting movement) Robert Baden-Powell, his wife Olave, and his sister Agnes. Juliette and Sir Robert (later Lord) Baden Powell shared a passion for sculpture and art. Juliette also enjoyed working with iron.
While in the UK, Juliette worked as a Girl Guide leader for troops she organized in Scotland and London. On returning to America in 1912, Juliette placed her historic telephone call to a cousin: "Come right over! I've got something for the girls of Savannah, and all of America, and all the world, and we're going to start it tonight!" On 12 March, 1912 Juliette gathered 18 girls to register the first troop of American Girl Guides. Margaret "Daisy Doots" Gordon, her niece and namesake, was the first registered member, but did not attend the first meeting. The name of the organization was changed to Girl Scouts the following year. The organization was incorporated in 1915, with Juliette serving as president until 1920 when she was granted the title of founder.
In personality, Daisy was known for being eccentric and charming. One commonly related anecdote recounts how, at an early Scout board meeting, she stood on her head to display the new Girl Scout shoes that she happened to be wearing. Juliette Low also wrote poems; sketched, wrote and acted in plays; and became a skilled painter and sculptor. Juliette Low had many pets throughout her life and was particularly fond of exotic birds, Georgia mockingbirds, dogs, cats, and a few horses. Daisy was also known for her great sense of humor.
Juliette Gordon Low contracted breast cancer in 1923, but kept it a secret and continued diligently working for the Girl Scouts. Juliette Low died on 17 January, 1927 from this cancer, and was buried in her Girl Scout uniform in Laurel Grove Cemetery in Savannah.
In Savannah, Georgia tourists and locals can visit three historic sites which relate to the life of Juliette Gordon Low. The home of her birth, The Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace is one of the most visited house museums in Georgia. The Andrew Low House became her Savannah home after her marriage to William Mackay Low in 1886, and The Girl Scout First Headquarters is the former carriage house of the Andrew Low family. Juliette converted the carriage house into her Girl Scout headquarters shortly after the first meeting in 1912 and willed it to the local Savannah Girl Scouts upon her death in 1927.

Have a Healthy Autumn!
Sometimes in Florida, it's hard to believe that autumn is here (it's close to 90 degrees outside as I type this in mid-October!).
But the days are getting shorter, peach season is over (bummer!), and once in a while we can feel a hint of, the cooler, drier weather that WILL eventually be coming our way.
If you want to make the most of this season, here are some tips for having the healthiest fall ever:
- Eat the pumpkin. Sure, pumpkins are fun to carve into jack-o-lanterns. But they're also good for us! The pulp is high in vitamins A and C, and the seeds may help lower cholesterol. Have fun with a new recipe—something other than pie!
- Enjoy other seasonal produce. Try all the squashes, and Brussels sprouts, and beets. Roasted veggies are delicious. And apples are at their peak in the fall!
- Boost your immune system. School starts, people spend more time together indoors and bam—it's cold and flu season. Wash your hands a lot. Drink a lot of water. Get sufficient rest. Boost your immune system with healthy foods (like seasonal produce!). And book a massage or reflexology session!!
- Get outside. The more comfortable temperatures make this the perfect time to unplug and enjoy the outdoors. Walking, hiking, jogging, cycling, sports leagues—even yard work—provide opportunities to burn some calories.
- Go easy on the Halloween candy. It's easy to slip into a sugar addiction.
- Eat well on game day. If you like watching sports, snack on veggies and dip instead of chips. If you really want something like pizza, go for a thin crust and avoid fatty toppings—and cut it into smaller pieces to nibble rather than gorge. Go for smaller helpings of chili or other favorites. Drink water in between other beverages.
- Have a smart Thanksgiving. Start the day with a healthy breakfast of protein and fiber so you're not ravenous. Then have a plan for the big meal—what do you REALLY want to enjoy, and what could you do without? Include the seasonal produce—cranberries and persimmons have a LOT of nutrients. Again, go for smaller helpings and go for a walk. You'll be glad you did!
- Set goals. We don't have to wait for January! What new habits could you start practicing now? Eating healthier? Exercising more? Meditating regularly? Keeping a gratitude journal? Spending more time with friends? Volunteering—and not just for Thanksgiving? Think of what we could accomplish by the end of the year!
Maybe it's because we grew up feeling like fall was the beginning of a new (school) year, but for whatever reason, autumn really does feel like a good time to regroup. What other things will you do to have the best season ever?

Currency UK, one of the country's leading foreign exchange specialists, is using DueDil's advanced data analysis to generate new business and enhance its compliance processes.
The company, which helps companies and high-net-worth individuals move funds across borders or pay for foreign goods, uses DueDil across its business to search for new customers and evaluate their creditworthiness.
In addition to generating new business, Currency UK uses DueDil to onboard customers quickly, while identifying any red flags – providing a competitive advantage over rival firms.
William Kemp, Director at Currency UK, said: "Companies often come to us when they need to make a payment urgently – but many of our rivals can take days to open a new corporate account.
"By using DueDil's fast, authoritative service, we save considerable time over other systems and are able to credit check a company accurately in a matter of minutes. This gives us a real edge when it comes to winning new business."
Doing the due diligence
When searching for new customers, Currency UK uses DueDil to create custom-made lists of companies with specific profiles in targeted sectors. It also uses DueDil's group graph capability to identify any parent companies that would also benefit from its services.
In addition, Currency UK monitors new and existing customers with DueDil's financial metrics and credit scoring to identify key information – including how quickly companies pay their bills and how much cash they have on their books.
When a potential customer is looking to come on board, Currency UK also uses DueDil's compliance features to do due diligence on the company, including identifing shareholders and directors, as well as ultimate company ownership.
Mr Kemp said: "In our industry, it is key to be able to perform compliance, anti-money laundering and know-your-customer checks accurately. Using DueDil has helped us identify potential red flags with potential customers, saving us a considerable amount of money, as well as time and effort.
"We already use DueDil widely, but I anticipate that we will integrate it even more across the company in coming months, especially as we expand our business development generation team."
Currency UK has increased its headcount by 50% already in 2016 as it meets increased demand for its services, recently moving into new offices in Clerkenwell.
