Muslim Youth and the Ontario Election: Interview with Adnan Ali (Progressive Conservative Party Volunteer)Written by Adnan Ali
There are concerns that younger voters might not be very engaged in this year's Ontario provincial election. Muslim Link has sought out young Muslims in Ontario who are working, volunteering, or running with each major party in the provincial election to get their opinion about why it is important to be engaged in provincial politics. Our first interview is with Adnan Ali who is volunteering with Progressive Conservative Candidate Jack MacLaren in Carleton-Mississippi Mills in Ottawa.
1. Tell us about yourself
My name is Adnan Ali and I'm 23 years old, my mother was born in India and my father was born in Pakistan. I was born and raised right here in Ottawa (grew up in Kanata more specifically) and I am currently a student at Carleton University. My particular field of study was Political Science with a concentration in Public Affairs and Policy Analysis.
2. Did you grow up in a family that discussed Canadian politics at home?
Growing up, discussion of politics was scarce. It wasn't a dinner table topic; we usually save eating time for discussing Deen (religion) or the Friday Khutbah (sermon), rarely politics.
3. Who shaped your own political development?
My brother was probably one of the main reasons I became so interested in politics, at least that's who I would attribute it to because he was the most politically active in my immediate family. It may sound odd but now that I reflect, I think me and my brother bonded and coalesced around political discussions and watching Election Day coverage together. If there was any discussion of politics in my family growing up it was usually done away from the dinner table.
4. Do you feel that you are more aware of Canadian politics than your peers? If so, why, if not, why not?
I certainly hope so; a lot of my peers have different interests or specializations such as engineering, finance, etc. Although some are tuned in, I would consider them more of a consumer of political news rather than the type of people who would study, analyze and research political trends, or the daily briefings from the Hill or Queen's Park.
5. Why do you think it is important for more young Muslims to pay attention to Provincial Politics?
Whether it is at a federal, provincial or municipal level, politics shapes a part of our identity. But when you look at the most critical aspects of our everyday lives here in Ontario, the province has jurisdiction over these issues. The two most prevalent issues are Health and Education. As Muslims it is important for us to recognize that these issues have an importance to us not only from a citizen's perspective but also as Muslims and taxpayers.
6. What are the priority issues for you in this election?
I would have to put education and the economy right at the top for me. I think education as a tool and as a system needs to be revitalized.
7. Why did you choose to work with this particular political party?
Personally, I'd like to think I grew up in a capital L "Liberal" family, and as a Muslim my values would place me all over the traditional left-right political spectrum, however, when I looked at the plan put forth by the PC's I looked at it and said, 'you know what, I can get on board with this'. While I do not consider myself a hard, strong or long standing Progressive Conservative supporter, I feel as though change once in a while is not a bad idea. Considering the economy is performing relatively well, in my opinion, mashaAllah I wouldn't mind a bit of 'austerity' so that we do not have to deal with a worsening economic condition down the road.
8. Tell us about the candidate you are working with.
The Progressive Conservative incumbent I am working with is Jack MacLaren, he became a PC candidate back in 2011 when he defeated long standing PC member Norm Sterling, surprisingly, in a nomination race and won the last election handily with over 50% of the vote in our constituency. Jack is a former president of the Carleton Landowners Association and regularly served as a substitute on the select committee on developmental services which explored comprehensive development service strategies to address the needs of children, youth and adults with an intellectual disability or who are dually diagnosed with intellectual disability and mental illness.
9. Tell us about the riding you are working in.
The riding I'm in is Carleton Mississippi Mills. Many voters recognize it as the "riding that has Kanata in it." But some people don't realize, Almonte is also a part of the riding as well as Richmond which is south of Bridlewood. It is a much larger riding then people give it credit for.
10. Explain your role as a volunteer with this campaign.
As a volunteer I've taken on many tasks, whether it's putting up signs, door knocking, or discussing all sorts of issues with Jack that affect the Muslim community, I've learned a lot about what goes into a campaign. While what one does on campaigns sounds simple, there are a lot of intricacies that you can observe once you're in the office and you realize it's not as simple as 'putting up signs and knocking on doors'.
11. Has the candidate you are working with done outreach with Muslims in the riding?
Jack has attended several events at the Intercultural Dialogue Centre down the road from his office on Michael Cowpland Drive, and as a matter of fact some of the members of the Turkish community that he met at the centre have volunteered to canvass alongside Jack.
12. Are you concerned that many people your age are not voting?
Absolutely, when you look at some basic demographics we tend to find seniors much more active at the voting booth, which means they command more of the issues politicians give priority too. A few months ago, Nik Nanos from Nanos research gave a presentation at an event organized by Ottawa U students called iVote. In that slideshow presentation he documented what the effect on the federal election would have been had younger citizens voted. If we turn out to vote then our issues will be addressed, because candidates will realize that our concerns cannot be ignored. If we don't, then we become lost in the middle. When you belong to a particular age demographic, you become part of an interest group, you're lobbying or influence is exerted at the ballot box. If you don't show up, then those you are trying to influence will not address your issues the way you want.
13. What changes do you think are necessary in order to get young Canadians more engaged in Provincial Politics?
I think there are a plethora of things you can do. I would start by trying to understand what drives younger populations to vote. Whoever figures that out with consistency and frequency is a millionaire in the making. At the same time I would tell young Canadians that the onus is partially on them. Politicians and the older demographics that support politicians are starving for youth involvement and attention. You are there aces, they need you, and they want you to help them. It is similar to involvement in Muslim community initiatives, as the elders move on and wind down, they look to our youth to renew and enhance efforts to better the community with the same enthusiasm they had when they emigrated here however long ago.
14. Do you feel that Muslim Canadians tend to focus more on Federal politics then provincial politics?
I do feel Muslim Canadians focus more on federal politics over provincial politics however I feel the same to be true for much of the population. If we look at voter turnout percentages, and participation, you will see more support and donation of time and money during federal elections. I think that is partly due to the scope and breadth of the federal government. Also, as a primarily immigrant community, we tend to have the impression that federal politics is more important. What we do not understand is that issues that affect us most are provincial issues. When I think of Muslim oriented services like social service groups (Islam Care), organizations for those with disabilities (Canadian Association of Muslims with Disabilities) in our community or the many Islamic schools, these are all Muslim based services and they are regulated, for the most part, by the province.
15. What are your plans after the election, whether or not your candidate wins?
InshaAllah, I plan to get ready for the coming month of Ramadan, along with that perhaps I'll look to use my experience from the campaign to get involved in public affairs and/or government relations. I think this is something our community requires, as a community we've come a long way however a lot of our efforts are fractured in terms of size and scope. While some reasons are entirely understandable, we have yet to develop or create a public affair strategy that we can call our own. The beauty is, it's never too late to start.
Check back for reflections from young Muslims involved with the Liberal, NDP, and Green parties.

Christine and Anthony chose a Thursday wedding at Old Luxters Barn near Henley-on-Thames for their special day's celebrations. It was an international occasion, including many of Christine's family and friends from Ontario, Canada. Sadly one of her brothers was unable to come so Christine caught up with him by Skype before she got ready. Christine chose not to have bridal preparations photos so my day really started just before their ceremony in the barn.
Since the vineyards at Old Luxters were not looking their greenest, due to the time of year, we were able to take time away from the guests (who were enjoying themselves in the marquee) after the ceremony to make the most of the beautiful view of Hambleden Valley. The bride and groom were particularly fond of this view and knew it was a few minutes' walk away so Christine wisely brought flat shoes.
After some very amusing and moving speeches the evening's party got under way, starting with cutting the cake (made by Anthony's mum) and the first dance. Then it was time to take a few last photos of the fun as everyone else joined in the dancing.

The new residential district lies at the end of the "Red Wall", directly on Killesberg park and bordering the well-served neighbourhood of Killesberghöhe. The park is a fundamental element for the project which virtually enters into the new blocks. The intervention is characterized by three different types of building: a long and articulated building facing the street; four in-row isolated blocks, sheltered inside the park; and a junction building which facing the nearby church, tries to connect the new complex to the existing housings.

Project description
The angular part of this complex is occupied by the student housing, by the nursery school and by a public square which faces the church. The area among the buildings turns into an important public space. A sinuous street rolls through the private gardens, and becomes a lively meeting place for the citizens and a playground for the children. This street links the new complex to the park and the new square close to the church. This east-west connection is cut by two north-south streets in order to guarantee a complete permeability of the area.

From twelve estate vineyards in Washington covering nearly 2,000 acres. The Riesling is from the Yakima Valley, the oldest and most diverse region of the state. The Cabernet Sauvignon is from the Columbia Valley, the largest wine growing region of Washington, where the northerly latitude provides two hours more sunlight per day than in California. This develops fruit intensity, while cool evenings and nights promote higher acidities. Well-drained sandy soils have low fertility and low water-holding capacity, allowing precise control of vine growth patterns.

"Pale Blue Dot"– An Ode to Mother Earth
~ by Carl Sagan
"There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot,
the only home we've ever known."
~ Carl Sagan
"We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools." .. "The choice is not between violence and nonviolence but between nonviolence and nonexistence."
~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Sit, be still, and listen,
because you're drunk
and we're at the edge of the roof."
~ Rumi
"Cherish or Perish.
Co-exist cooperatively, or
Co-expire catastrophically."
~ Ron Rattner, Sutra Sayings
"LAUDATO SI', mi' Signore" – "Praise be to you, my Lord".
In the words of this beautiful canticle, Saint Francis of Assisi reminds us that our common home is like a sister with whom we share our life and a beautiful mother who opens her arms to embrace us.
"Praise be to you, my Lord, through our Sister, Mother Earth, who sustains and governs us, and who produces various fruit with colored flowers and herbs". . .
"This sister now cries out to us because of the harm we have inflicted on her by our irresponsible use and abuse of the goods with which God has endowed her."
~ Pope Francis – Climate encyclical message
In 1990, when the Voyager space craft was nearly four trillion (4,000,000,000,000) miles from Earth, beyond the orbit of Pluto, NASA finally acceded to legendary astronomer Carl Sagan's desperate pleas, and turned Voyager's camera back toward Earth to photograph our precious planet as no human had ever before seen it.
From that distance, the Earth is just a tiny blue speck illuminated by sunlight.
Video Recitation of Carl Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot" message.
In this video, called "Pale Blue Dot", Carl Sagan eloquently recites a poignant ode to our precious planet, Mother Earth, which he composed while humbly reflecting on that unique NASA photo (text below):
Text of Carl Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot" message:
"From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of particular interest. But for us, it's different. Look again at that dot. That's here, that's home, that's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.
It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known."
Concluding Invocation.
In these ecologically critical times, may we together preserve, cherish and honor Gaia, the Earth Mother of all;
As a united global family, may we thereby
– each from our unique perspective and in our unique way –
help Humankind peacefully resolve the unprecedented ecological, political, and economic crises and conflicts now insanely threatening all Earth-life as we have known it.
And so may it be!
Divine Time Release Capsules
"Our destiny is Divinity."
~ Ron Rattner, Sutra Sayings
"Life is a round trip metaphoric journey,
on which we are destined to return to point of origin.
On return, we learn – we never left."
~ Ron Rattner, Sutra Sayings
Divine Time Release Capsules
Our destiny is Divinity.
Our human body/minds are like
Divine time release capsules
Of 'congealed' consciousness encapsulated by karma –
Enveloped by eons of illusory thoughts, words, and deeds
of imagined separation from others, from Nature
and from our ever immanent inner Essence.
But our optical illusion of separation is being released in time,
As our imagined karmic coatings are inevitably dissolving into
The eternal inner Ocean of Universal Awareness.
So, with ever increasing awareness,
In time we are slowly melting
into the mystery of our inner Divinity,
and merging with our eternal Self.
Thus, beyond time –
Beyond ego's optical illusion of separation –
Our common destiny is Divinity.
And so shall it Be!
Ron's audio recitation of "Divine Time Release Capsules"
Ron's Explanation of "Divine Time Release Capsules"
Dear Friends,
Metaphorically we are fellow spiritual space travelers – like "astronauts on a little spaceship called Earth."
As seemingly mortal humans we are journeying on a planetary "pale blue dot" through a vast and mysterious space/time universe beyond scientific comprehension. Thus our ultimate destiny as space/time travelers is unknown.
So often we're fearful, anxious, or stressed about our uncertain future. To help assuage inevitable anxieties, I have posted the foregoing "Divine Time Release Capsule" verses which metaphorically reveal why we never need to fear or worry. They explain that:
Until now, we have mistakenly perceived, believed and behaved as if we are somatically separated from each other and Nature, and from our sole spiritual essence – which is Infinite Awareness. Consequently, to learn our true Reality and deepest non-dual Self identity, our eternal souls have become unconsciously encapsulated in "self-woven karmic cocoons", in which we are exploring the Cosmos in mortal human bodies on 'spaceship Earth'.
Our human bodies are like "space/time soul suits" (comparable to astronauts' space suits or deep sea divers' suits). As we so explore this seemingly vast space/time universe (while encapsulated in karmic cocoons), we gradually learn that the Cosmos is but an ever impermanent mental illusion (like an ephemeral mirage).
And as we thus realize that time and space are illusory, our karmic cocoons are gradually but inevitably dissolving and melting (like time release capsules), and merging into an Eternal ocean of Infinite Awareness, which is our ultimate destination. Like beautiful butterflies we are evolving as living metaphors for metamorphosis to emerge totally transformed from self woven cocoons, and fated for ascension to a wonderful new Reality.(https://sillysutras.com/butterflies/)
Thus, we are assured to safely survive our mysterious metaphoric journey, because "Our destiny is Divinity" – eternal Reality, beyond this illusory phenomenal world of ever passing appearances.
May these metaphoric time release assurances bring us ever less stress and ever more happiness as we inevitably fulfill our destiny of divine discovery on "spaceship Earth".
And so it shall be!

Hydrologic Logic: What People Can Learn From Snowflakes
"Be melting snow.
Wash yourself of yourself."
~ Rumi
Hydrologic Logic: What People Can Learn From Snowflakes
Spiritual teachers say we can learn about ourselves by closely observing all of Nature's manifestations and processes.
"As above, so below; as below, so above."
So, what can we learn about ourselves by studying snowflakes and hydrologic processes?
Science tells us that though countless trillions of snowflakes have fallen on earth each has a unique form; that each snowflake is an hexagonally symmetrical crystalline form which begins around a tiny speck of dust – as each pearl forms around a sand particle – but that no two snowflakes are exactly alike.
How amazing!!! http://www.its.caltech.edu/~atomic/snowcrystals/faqs/faqs.htm
Yet, despite this wondrous and unimaginable diversity of forms, all snowflakes have a common essence — frozen water, H20.
When a snowflake melts, it returns to and merges with its watery source, which is perpetually recycled. So, each snowflake's essence is the same – recycled water, which has formed countless unique prior snowflakes.
Not only are snowflakes unified in amazing physical diversity by their common watery essence, but science says that their common essence is indestructible. Water – a liquid – is a form of 'matter' which is merely manifest energy – E=mc2. And energy can't be destroyed. It just recycles endlessly from formlessness to differing forms and phenomena. So, in their essence, snowflakes are immortal energy.
People are like snowflakes
Like snowflakes, each of the billions of humans who have inhabited Earth has had an individually unique form and genetic makeup. Like snowflakes, human physical bodies are composed of common elemental earth constituents, including mostly water. People's physical bodies – like snowflakes – appear for a twinkling of time, die and physically 'melt' back into the watery Earth.
But, presumably unlike snowflakes, each of us is aware of our environment and of our life's experiences; and this awareness is our entire existence. So, while unique snowflakes are united in glorious diversity by their common watery essence, physically unique human beings, are unified not only by their common elemental earthly constituents but, also, by their by their common essence – consciousness, which is the sole context of human beingness.
Snowflakes appear in Nature and, apparently, are peacefully at one with Nature until they disappear. Humans appear in Nature but – unlike snowflakes – we have great intelligence and we think a lot. And through thought we identify ourselves as our perceived separate forms. Thus, we think that we are entities "condemned" by nature to inevitable bodily death. But we don't know what will happen to us upon such death.
So, we become afraid of dying; of giving up the known for the unknown. And, through thought, we try psychologically to "protect" and preserve our ephemeral physical forms and to deter or deny their inevitable demise. Accordingly, our lives are often marked by mental afflictions causing conflicts, problems and suffering, which disturb our peace and awareness of at-one-ment with Nature.
What people can learn from snowflakes
Q. So, what can people learn from snowflakes?
A. To let go and 'go with the flow'; to 'cool it' and to not worry about our inevitable disappearance.
We can realize that we are much more than our unique physical forms or our thoughts. That like snowflakes we are inextricably interdependent essential elements of Nature; that Nature is our nature, until we melt into Mystery and disappear into Nature's Eternal Essence.
Realizing this, we can begin more and more to self-identify with Nature as our immortal Essence rather than our ephemeral forms and thoughts; and, gradually, we can expand our perceived boundaries, to ever evolve as these boundaries dissolve.
Thus, we can more and more live with less and less anxiety, fear and worry. Though in this life we may never totally transcend entity identity, often we can just be at peace – as immortal awareness.
And so,
"As we lose our fear, Of leaving life, We shall gain the art of living life."
And – like snowflakes – maybe some day we'll be 'recycled' some way. e.g. http://www.victorzammit.com/Whenwedie/whatdoeshappen.htm
Or maybe not. e.g. http://tinyurl.com/mlw6erq
In all events, – like snowflakes – we need not worry about leaving. For
"It is in dying [to ego life] that we are reborn to Eternal Life."
~ Saint Francis of Assisi, peace prayer
Here's what Paramahansa Yogananda says:
"The dewdrop belongs to the sea. Separated, it is vulnerable to the sun and wind and other elements of nature; but when the droplet returns its source, it becomes magnified in oneness with the sea. So it is with your life. United to God you become immortal."
So let us remember as elements of Nature to not worry, and to be happy – like snowflakes!
Ron Rattner
Hydrologic Logic Epilogue, November 2017.
The foregoing essay was inspired by the pioneering research of Dr. Masaru Emoto whose astonishing discoveries, documented photographically, led to awakened awareness about water – Earth's most precious resource. According to NASA, "Water is the fundamental ingredient for life on Earth."
Dr. Emoto discovered that molecules of water are affected by our thoughts, words, and feelings, so that that humans can positively impact the earth and our personal health through positive and harmonious attitudes and actions, especially with attention to water; that since the Earth is 70 percent water and people are 70 percent water, he theorized that we can heal our planet and ourselves by consciously expressing love and goodwill to and through water.
He explained that crystals formed in frozen water reveal changes when specific, concentrated thoughts are directed toward them; that water from clear springs and water that has been exposed to loving words shows brilliant, complex, and colorful snowflake patterns, whereas polluted water, or water exposed to negative thoughts, forms incomplete, asymmetrical patterns with dull colors.
Also Dr. Emoto described the ability of water – like a liquid computer – to absorb, hold, and even retransmit human feelings and emotions. Using high-speed photography, he found that crystals formed in frozen water reveal changes when specific, concentrated thoughts are directed toward them. Music, visual images, words written on paper, and photographs also have an impact on the crystalline structures. Emoto theorized that since water has the ability to receive a wide range of frequencies, it can also reflect the universe in this manner.
Especially in this Thanksgiving season when insanely delusional human behaviors imminently threaten life on Earth as we have known it, let us gratefully cherish and harmoniously heal our precious watery world – eloquently described by Carl Sagan as a "pale blue dot" in this vast universe.
And let us be guided by these wise words from Paramahansa Yogananda:
"Every day should be a day of Thanksgiving for all the gifts of Life — sunshine, water, the luscious fruits and greens, which we receive as indirect gifts from the Great Giver."
And so may it be!

Thank you for making Miracles happen
Written by 1079 Life on August 17, 2018
Yesterday was Miracles Day. In Dien Bien, Vietnam, many people were given the Miracle gift of sight-saving surgery.
It was a day filled with joy, and lives were changed thanks to you.
Now, people who couldn't work because of their bad sight, are able to provide for their family. And children who were struggling to see the blackboard, are able to keep up at school.
None of it was possible without your generosity and kindness. Your donation, no matter how small, has done more than you can imagine. Thank you!

Master Engraver Otto Carter's Godspeed
After college, he did a number of things to earn a living, including being a sign painter, pinstriper, and doing artwork for the legendary Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, the creator of the iconic Rat Fink. In the 90's, Otto first tried out engraving, but it got put to the side until 2002 when he took his first engraving class. After a limited number of classes, he hit the ground running with his pneumatic chisel in hand.
Now, the story behind the Godspeed motorcycle is that Otto was approached by Steven Bates to do some engraving on a bike he was working on. The theme was angels and demons. After a very brief period of time thinking about the theme, Otto knew exactly what he was going to do.
Otto does much more than just engraving on motorcycle parts, he also engraves Rat Fink work on cars, jewelry, knives, belt buckles, spurs, and even e-cigs. His favorite things to engrave are rifles and handguns, especially Derringers. To see Godspeedmotorcycle or more of his incredible work, go to his site, OttoCarter.com.

If I look back on the food I used to make when I started cooking, it was all quite complicated. I think I had this idea that piling up flavours and globetrotting my guests' palates all around the world in a single meal made me look clever and sophisticated as a cook. This often happens when you're learning a new skill — the notion that more is more, and that you need to keep adding to make things better.
In the words of Leonardo da Vinci, "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." His premise applies to so many things, not the least of which is cooking.
These days, when I'm putting a new dish together, I know that less is usually more. Choosing the freshest, best-quality ingredients is key for a start. Stick to one flavour family, and don't move your meal or your dish all over the different flavour profiles of the world. You only have to look to the kitchens of Italy and Greece to discover the most amazing dishes flavoured with nothing more than good olive oil, salt, pepper and a flick of acid such as lemon juice or vinegar. Basta! It's simple and so perfect.
When it comes to simple cooking methods, roasting ranks as my number one. Season whatever cut you have chosen, add a little oil, a crust or stuffing, then throw it into a hot oven to do its thing. You can literally walk away. Exposed to the dry heat of a hot oven, the skin crisps, the flavours caramelise and mouth-watering smells are set loose. For very little effort you can create a delicious meal with a real sense of celebration.
Resting large cuts of meat before you carve them is super-important. I generally cover my cooked roast loosely with a piece of tinfoil, then lay a clean tea towel on top and leave it for 10-15 minutes. While it rests, gravy or sauces can be made and green vegetables cooked. The difference in texture, evenness and moisture after resting is like chalk and cheese, as the fibres relax and the meat juices disperse evenly so the meat retains its moisture when it is sliced.
There's something baronial about bringing a big joint of golden-crusted meat or a whole roasted bird to the table. It calls us to gather, share and enjoy. With the shortest day of the year approaching, here's my suggestion for a midwinter roast menu.
Standing Rib Roast
Ready in 1 hour + resting
Serves 8-10
.5-2.7kg standing beef rib roast
2 Tbsp each Dijon mustard and balsamic vinegar
Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Shallot and red wine sauce
2 Tbsp butter
5 shallots, very finely diced
3 cups red wine
2 cups beef stock
2 bay leaves
1 tsp sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 200C fanbake. Place beef in a shallow roasting dish lined with baking paper. Mix mustard and vinegar and rub all over both sides of meat. Season well with salt and pepper. Place in oven and roast until done to your liking (about 60 minutes for medium-rare, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 60C, noting that this will increase as it rests). While beef is roasting, make the shallot and red wine sauce. Heat butter in a heavy frying pan and cook shallots over medium heat until softened but not browned (about 8 minutes). Add 1 cup of the red wine and simmer until reduced to almost nothing (about 15 minutes). Add remaining wine, the beef stock and the bay leaves and simmer until sauce is reduced to about 2 cups (30-40 minutes). Add vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove cooked beef from oven, transfer to a carving board, cover with tinfoil and a double layer of folded tea towels and stand for at least 20 and up to 40 minutes before carving. If cooking mini yorkies, increase oven temperature to 220C fanbake and cook yorkies while you finish the sauce. To finish the sauce, pour off any visible fat from the beef roasting pan, then tip the sauce into the unwashed pan. Stir over the heat to lift the pan brownings and incorporate them into the sauce. Remove and discard bay leaves. Thinly slice beef across the grain and serve with the sauce.
Annabel says: The combination of Dijon and balsamic delivers depth to the flavour of the beef and helps form the crust. A chemical reaction known as the Maillard reaction is what gives all browned foods from toast to roasts their distinctive and appealing flavour.
Mini Yorkies
Ready in 45 mins
Makes 12
½ cup milk
2 eggs
¾ cup flour
1 tsp salt
½ cup ice-cold water
Neutral oil, to cook
Whisk together milk, eggs, flour and salt until smooth. Allow to stand for at least 20 minutes, then just before cooking whisk in cold water. Remove roast from oven and increase oven temperature to 220C fanbake. Drop ½ tsp oil into each cup of a 12-cup medium muffin tray. Place tray in hot oven for 5 minutes to heat. Pour 2 Tbsp batter into each hot, oiled cup and bake until puffed and golden (15-20 minutes). Serve immediately.
Annabel says: The trick to making Yorkshire pudding is to get the oil super-hot in the cooking dish first, so the batter starts to puff as soon as it goes in. If you prefer, you can cook this mixture whole in a preheated shallow roasting dish, rather than as individuals.
Roasted Baby Carrots
Ready in 45 mins
Serves 8
1.2kg baby carrots
4-5 Tbsp butter
Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Thyme sprigs
Scrub carrots and trim off most of the green tops. Place in a roasting dish lined with baking paper for easy clean-up. Dot with butter, season with salt and pepper and top with a few thyme sprigs. Roast in the oven with the beef until tender (30-40 minutes), then remove from oven and set aside while you cook the mini yorkies (the carrots can be served at room temperature).
Annabel says: You can use this method to roast beets, kumara, pumpkin and parsnips. I sprinkle these sweet vegetables with about 1 Tbsp brown sugar to enhance their sweetness and increase caramelisation.

Dead easy
Cook your pasta, toss with a little oil and allow to cool.
Mix through:
* chopped celery
* chopped capsicum (multi coloured looks great)
* tin of 3 or 5-bean mix (well drained & rinsed)
sometimes I'll add in a tin of flavoured tuna, sometimes chopped ham or chopped chicken.
With the tuna and ham it doesn't need any more liquidy-stuff, with chopped chicken I'll add mayo with a little mustard or curry powder mixed through.

Reworking a kitchen is usually a demanding affair since there are a number of issues that have to be thought of from the wall and cabinet paints to the counter spaces, storage cabinets and the garbage disposal system. Here, the marble was taken all the way in which up proper below the cupboards for a seamless look. An inventory from the reign of Elizabeth I reveals the amount of meat cooked within the royal kitchens in a single 12 months; 1,240 oxen, 8,200 sheep, 2,330 deer, 760 calves, 1,870 pigs and a modest 53 wild boar. Silicone as a fabric has solely been around for just a few a long time, much much less as a fabric utilized in kitchens and thusly there are not any research reviews to counsel concretely whether or not Silicone is protected or poisonous as a cooking materials. Until they set the tops, much of your work will likely be on hold, so use the time to complete your painting, trim work, etc.
Kitchens are such an integral part of our properties that a simple redesign could make an enormous difference in feel and temper. This white marble utensil holder pot is the one now we have in our kitchen as pictured and featured in this article; it seems to be real cool and is one in every of my favourite storage containers. I've constructed outdoor kitchens that had dishwashers, ice machines, a number of refrigerators and seating for ten. The development of deVOL's Shaker Kitchens combines tried and examined carpentry with trendy improvements.
Some nice kitchens you posted…it was good to see some that weren't cookie cutter…I particularly like the marble behind the ranges…and as tiles! Kitchen are often designed by men and so they use very boring colors also they do not think of little practical details like an enough working counter small kitchen cabinets. This mixer has a rubber foot, so it won't go dancing across (or off) the counter while it's doing its thing.
This Youcopia Tremendous Spicestack 27-bottle Spice Organizer is an effective way to add vertical storage space and hold all those bottles of herbs and spices from rolling round and getting misplaced behind the cabinet where you possibly can't see or simply get to them. L.A. Kitchen will get better or purchase tens of millions of kilos of contemporary, nutritious produce that would in any other case go to waste.
I REALLY need to play the game to the top however it doesn't matter what I do it wont go beyond scen eight. I even tried the victory cheat code and it will not budge. I might even be controversial enough to say that the brand new range could easily compete with low to mid finish brands like Howdens kitchens (trade solely) or with low to mid shopper brands like B&Q and Magnet. Kitchens can also be designed for enjoyable, and that in fact could easily be a part of the heat factor, though it adds an element to it that brings it to a unique degree. Just because the title suggests, this kitchen design plan is U-shaped and likewise very convenient to use.

Starting from the premise that there is such a need, Dr. Thompson has proposed to write a book to fill the gap between the insufficiently detailed sections in textbooks of medicine and the encyclopedic textbooks or monographs in hematology. He covers the major subsections of the specialty from the basic aspects of structure, function, formation, and counting of erythrocytes and leukocytes to the more clinical considerations of the various anemias, leukemias, lymphomas, polycythemias, and hemorrhagic diseases.
When writing a book such as this, an author must not only condense, but also omit. One could question Dr. Thompson's choice in either.

You expect a business with that name to take particular attention to their brews but the Axil long black and espresso I had were awfully extracted. Didn't seem like there was much focus or care in making them or any interest in the feedback I gave the waiter about it. When ordering meals I asked for mine without cheese and replace it with non-dairy side and got told they don't do substitutions. They could although take cheese out and add a side (that's a $5 substitution guys, yes, you do substitutions). Anyway I decided not to eat, pay for the coffee and move on. Those pour guys are going down a slippery slope

Rolling Counter Doors (also called counter shutters) secure openings above counters and other similar finished openings on interior and exterior walls. These doors feature smaller, more aesthetically pleasing extruded guides, slats 1-5/8" (41.3 mm), brackets and hood than conventional rolling doors (service doors). These doors can also be used for smaller door openings and close to the floor when the more compact door components are desired.
Premium-duty 20 gauge (520 and 520S) and heavy-duty 24 gauge (664, 664V, 524, 524V and 524S) doors are for most commercial and industrial applications. Models 525, 525V and 525S are alternatives for applications requiring economy and reliability in a lighter gauge commercial door. Ideal for use in service stations, auto dealerships and warehouses.
Standard exterior and "partitioned" interior applications such as service stations, auto dealerships and restaurants that require high light transmission and visibility are satisfied by our durable and attractive Model 903.

Longer Time Between Pre- And Postoperative Chemo Worsens Survival in Ovarian Cancer
Longer time in between pre- and postoperative chemotherapy may be associated with significantly worse survival outcomes in women with ovarian cancer.
BY Jason Harris
PUBLISHED December 05, 2017
Patients with ovarian cancer who begin postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy within 42 days of ending neoadjuvant chemotherapy have superior survival compared to those who initiate therapy after that point.
Investigators in South Korea conducted a retrospective analysis of 194 women with pathologically confirmed epithelial ovarian cancer who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy at Yonsei Cancer Hospital in Seoul from 2006 to 2016. In the multivariate analysis, a longer interval to treatment initiation was associated with significantly poorer progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
The time interval was defined as the period from the completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, spanning interval debulking surgery (IDS), to the initiation of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy.
"Our results demonstrate that a significant correlation may exist between survival outcomes and the time intervals between the completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and initiation of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy, and that a delay in postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy initiation beyond 42 days after neoadjuvant chemotherapy may lead to worse survival outcomes," corresponding author Jung-Yun Lee, M.D., and coinvestigators wrote.
"Further studies are warranted to validate our findings and to provide additional information on the relationships between neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the initiation of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy, and the survival outcomes of the patients," continued Lee and colleagues.
All patients were confirmed to have stage III or IV disease prior to starting chemotherapy. The median age was 57 years, and 91.8 percent had serous histology.
Eighty-two patients underwent radical surgery, including 30 who underwent bowel surgery. In 86 patients, there was no gross residual tumor present after IDS.
All patients received platinum-based combination chemotherapy. A total of 155 patients received paclitaxel plus carboplatin, and the median number of cycles of total chemotherapy was eight. About half of patients began postoperative treatment within the 42-day interval and 91 initiated after 42 days.
FIGO stage, non–high-grade serous carcinoma histology and any residual disease were independent prognostic factors associated with a higher risk of progression. For OS, multivariate analysis showed that a longer time interval was an independent prognostic factor in all patients. Furthermore, non–high-grade serous carcinoma histology and any residual disease were significantly associated with a higher risk of death. Residual disease was also found to be an independent prognostic factor associated with higher risks for progression and death.
Investigators separated patients into quartiles based on the time intervals to evaluate the presence of a linear trend. Patients with longer time intervals were found to have higher risks for recurrence and death. Patients in the highest quartile of more than 50 days had the highest risks of recurrence and death, as compared with patients in the lowest quartile of 37 days or less.

The Drag Baby Trio comes with a choice of three coils, each designed to increase flavour and vapour production for both MTL and DTL vapers. There is a choice of the PnP-R1, the PnP-C1 and the PnP-M2 with more information below.
PnP refers to the push and pull functionality for easy coil replacements.
The replacement coils come in a pack of five.
VooPoo have strategically created three coils for both MTL and DTL vaping.
PnP-M2 is a 0.6ohm coil with a higher power range of 20-28Ws for a more intense DTL vape.
PnP-R1 is a 0.8ohm coil with a power range of 12-18Ws and best for DTL users.
PnP-C1 Ceramic is a 1.2ohm coil with a power range of 10-15Ws, designed for MTL vapers.

Ytterbium Oxide Sputtering Targets
Ytterbium oxide is the chemical compound with the chemical formula of Yb2O3. Ytterbium Oxide is one of the more commonly encountered compounds of ytterbium.
One of the application of ytterbium oxide sputtering targets is deposition on silicon materials. As all we may know the enormous growth and the significant progress of information technology in the modern world are based to a very large extent on the SiO2 /Si interface properties. The industry's demand for greater integrated circuit functionality and performance at lower cost requires an increased circuit density, which is translated into a higher density of transistors on a wafer. Currently, this need is satisfied by introducing advanced materials in the gate of the transistors. By employing nitride/oxynitride gate stacks, functional complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor transistors with physical gate thicknesses ,4 nm have been demonstrated.
Unfortunately, although silicon microelectronic devices will be manufactured with SiO2 and Si–O–N for the foreseeable future, continued scaling of integrated circuit devices will necessitate the introduction of an alternate gate dielectric once the SiO2 gate dielectric thickness approaches 1.5 nm. Indeed, the extremely small physical thickness typically required for the gate dielectric results in large leakage current, which is expected to increase power consumption.
Yttrium oxide can be deposited on silicon by rf-magnetron sputtering, electron-beam evaporation, laser ablation and ion beam sputtering, as well as by means of epitaxy has been proposed as a candidate oxide to replace SiO2.

Solving physics problems in university physics education using a numerical approach requires knowledge and skills in several domains, for example, physics, mathematics, programming, and modeling. In this study students' mental models are monitored using interviews at several occasions during an assignment in computational physics. The interview data was analysed using a network analysis approach. Interview transcripts were coded according to the context dependent concepts that were used to define the particular context and situation of this assignment. The adjacency of concepts in the transcripts was assumed to reflect the associations between them made by students, and thus representing students' mental models of the problem solving situation at the time of the interview. For each student a network was built where the concepts were nodes and their adjacency formed the links between them. The changes in students' mental models between the interview occasions gave important information about what the students were focusing on at different stages of the solution process. What students focused on at the different interview occasions was assumed to be an indication of what they believed was useful in solving the task. The visualization of the mental models showed that at the beginning students were concerned about how to deal with writing the Matlab code that was needed to model the problem. As students got more comfortable with the coding process, the physics needed to assure that their simulation was following physics principles, such as energy conservation, became more and more central in their narratives. This study gives important contribution to how networks can be used to model students' thinking in a particular context and provides important knowledge about students' progress in a task in computational physics.
Solving physics problem in university physics education with a computational approach requires knowledge and skills in several domains, for example, physics, mathematics, programming, and modelling. These competences are in turn related to students' beliefs about these domains as well as about learning, and their motivation to learn. The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the role of university physics students' knowledge, beliefs and motivation when solving and visualizing a physics problem using a computational approach. The results showed that expert-like beliefs about physics and learning physics together with prior knowledge were important predictors of the quality of performance. Feelings corresponding to control and concentration, i.e., emotions that are expected to be good indicators of students' motivation were also good predictors of performance. However, intrinsic motivation, as indicated by enjoyment and interest, together with beliefs expressing students' personal interest and utility value, did not predict performance to any higher extent. Instead, my results indicate that integration and identification of expert-like beliefs about learning and concentration and control emotions during learning are more influential on the quality of performance. Thus, the results suggest that the development of students' epistemological beliefs is important for students' ability to learn from realistic problem-solving situations with many degrees of freedom in physics education. In order to investigate knowledge and beliefs structures network modeling has been applied as a novel tool for analysis. Students' epistemic frames are analyzed before and after the task in computational physics using a network analysis approach on interview transcripts, producing visual representations of mental models. The results show that students change their epistemic framing from a modelling task, with expectancies about learning programming, to a physics task, in which they are challenged to use physics principles and conservation laws in order to troubleshoot and understand their simulations. This implies that the task, even though it is not introducing any new physics, helped the students to develop a more consistent view of the importance of using physics principles in problem solving. When comparing students' framing with teachers,' it is shown that although teachers and students agree on the main features of simulation competence in physics, differences in their epistemic networks can be distinguished. For example, while teachers believe that numerical problem solving facilitates fundamental understanding of physics and mathematics, this is not obvious to students. This implies that university teachers need to be aware of these differences as well as students' beliefs in order to challenge students' expectations and to give support concerning the learning objectives of the assignment.

If you are interested in STEM education, making, the Internet of Things, then the Arduino is probably the best place to start. The Arduino is a tool for makers. Use it to create toys, home automation applications, self-driving cars, sound and light shows. The Arduino opens up a rich world of creativity for people of any age.
If you thought that learning the Arduino is hard, you are not alone. The Arduino is not a single thing. To learn how to use the Arduino, you need to learn a few things about electronics and programming. You also need to think about problem solving, problem decomposition is synthesis.
This learning has to start somewhere, and sometime.
Well, you are in luck!
You can start your learning right now, right here!
I have created this free introductory course to the Arduino for anyone interested in this amazing tool, but was confused, and perhaps even a little scared, about all the different options that are available today.
In this course, I offer a clear path to getting started, and from there, to mastery.
Learn about what is the Arduino, where and why it was created, and it's most important features.
Go on to learn about the what you can do with the Arduino, and how it works with other "things".
In this course, you will even take your first few steps in programming it. If you have never done any programming before, don't worry, we have your back.
So, no need to wait any longer. Jump right in and start learning 🙂

Thanks to a lovely little Secret Santa gift, I have returned to cross stitching! I haven't done this since, well, April last year when I stitched the dinosaur design for my friends birthday.
I'm very much enjoying doing cross stitch at the moment, mainly because it's a simple sit on the sofa and crack on with it kind of craft. Also being able to put it down and come back to it even if you're half way through a row. I'm not one for large cross stitch projects but I do like the mini kits which are perfect for cards. Picked up a couple of other kits the other day and am looking forward to starting on them. Tempted to make some Christmas themed ones this year, as well as doing my other handmade Christmas cards.
Anyway, that's enough of me going on about my liking of cross stitch, here is the one I've just completed and will be sending to s friend today.

This term is frequently used in relation to English language teaching to refer to the techniques a teacher can use to ensure that the students provide the maximum amount of information during a lesson, rather than simply being told everything by the teacher. If done correctly, this process can draw a surprising amount of existing knowledge from within the student group that can then be developed further by the teacher. Vocabulary and grammar structures that are developed in this way are far more likely to be memorable to the student in the long term than language that is simply provided by the teacher alone. Using elicitation in the classroom can also lead to a more student focused environment which is generally more stimulating for the class as a whole.
Simple elicitation techniques include the use of visual items such as pictures, photographs, freehand drawing and real objects to draw vocabulary from the class. Other examples include using mime, dialogue and example sentences on the whiteboard to encourage the student's input.
