District to open on-site arts center for 2018-2019 school year dedicated to community shows, performances
May 16, 2017
At the beginning of the 2018- 2019 school year, the district will open an auditorium on campus for the use of the fine arts academy. The auditorium will give fine arts students an appropriate place to perform.
"The auditorium allows students to engage in the community and how the community comes to those performances," choir director Andre Clark said. "They can step their performance game up."
This summer, the district will begin construction. The auditorium will seat 750 people for each event, allowing the fine arts organizations to hold bigger performances on campus.
"There really aren't any negatives to having an auditorium on campus," Clark said. "The space concerns in there are challenging but that's a great challenge to work out because we don't have a space currently that allows us to have more than 400 people at a time."
Building an on-campus auditorium will not only help students express themselves, it will give teachers an opportunity to teach students in different ways by using a real performance space.
"As to how the VPA will change, it will give our visual and performing arts their own space," academy coordinator Kevin Johnson said. "It will give them their own private space to practice and perform on, to form their skill privately and to do it in a professional atmosphere."
Students look forward to using the auditorium to demonstrate their talents and skills to the community, from art exhibitions to more complex production shows like musicals.
"The auditorium will impact the school in many different ways that you can't even imagine," sophomore Darius Smith said. "It will give students a chance to express themselves in a familiar and comfortable environment that they can call home."

Honey Gold quality better than ever
Piñata Farms has declared the 2018/2019 Honey Gold mango season its best yet in terms of appearance and shelf-life quality, 10 years after sending the first commercial volumes to market.
Key account manager, Rebecca Scurr, said fruit quality - especially skin appearance - was consistently exceptional throughout the season due to the efforts of some 30 contracted growers around Australia. Dry lead-in conditions were also optimal for mango production.
"Despite variable regional conditions, our growers collaborated to implement best practice growing and harvesting techniques. Their efforts resulted in the best quality mangoes we have produced to date and meant less fruit had to be re-graded," Ms Scurr said.
"Some growers have been producing Honey Golds since the variety was first available in 2002 and are now highly experienced. Other newer growers, have quickly adapted proven growing practices to achieve consistency as evidenced by feedback from retailers and our customer base.
"Pruning is an essential factor in keeping trees healthy because it keeps disease out and lets sunlight in to strengthen trees.
"Consistency is key to winning consumer loyalty. It's important that Honey Golds look and taste great all the time, no matter where they are grown."
She said the packhouse seasonal output was equal to Piñata's record volume achieved in 2017/2018.
The last Honey Golds for the season, are being harvested in Western Australia, for local distribution.
Ms Scurr said the progressive harvest which starts in the Northern Territory and ends in Western Australia, was unaffected by localised flooding in Far North Queensland earlier this year.
"Most regions experienced dry conditions leading up to and during the harvest - ideal for growing mangoes. Rain in November held the Northern Territory harvest up by a few days and the Bowen, Queensland harvest was delayed a few days but this had no impact on quality as grower agronomic upkeep was excellent. When it flooded in Far North Queensland, the harvest was already over, so again there was no impact."
Leaders in food safety and traceability
Ms Scurr said new live-scanning software implemented at provider LaManna Premier Group's (LPG) ripening facilities had further tightened quality control and traceability.
Honey Gold mangoes are ripened by LPG nationally, assessed within 24 hours and transported to the nearest supermarket distribution centres. All facilities now feature software developed by New Zealand horticultural software provider, Radfords.
"The software scans every single tray live and provides traceability data which can tell us when fruit was picked, where it was packed and where it has been sent so we can track and trace product as it moves all over Australia throughout the season. We want to ensure we've done everything we can to make our fruit safe," Ms Scurr said.
She said many growers continued to expand Honey Gold plantings and introduce technologies to enhance production.
"We expect to see a significant shift in the implementation of new technologies such as autonomous picking in the next five years," she said.
Central Queensland grower embraces technology
Central Queensland third-party grower, Groves Grown Tropical Fruit of Yeppoon, has collaborated with Central Queensland University's Professor Kerry Walsh and his research team for several years to test technological advancements in mango production.
Grower Ian Groves said two major technologies tested were an autonomous harvester and a scanning system which patrolled the orchard at night to monitor flowering and predict maturity at harvest.
"The autonomous harvester, which picked fruit on our farm this season, is now only a few years away from being available to mango producers. Affordability will be a key factor, moving forward," Mr Groves said.
"The scanning system is GPS-located and can count the number of mangoes in a block and what size they are, to within five per cent accuracy. This will be a game changer in mangoes as it will help growers plan their harvests and book their labour based on fruit quantity," he said.
Groves Grown Tropical Fruit has produced Honey Gold mangoes since before Piñata Farms acquired the breeding rights. It started with 1,000 trees and has continued to plant more over time. By 2023, some 6,300 trees will be in full mature production.
Piñata Farms and its growers produce mangoes from more than 170,000 trees in five states for national distribution between November and March.
Upcoming mango events
Piñata Farms will host the annual Honey Gold Congress in Katherine from May 10-12.
Key Piñata Farms personnel will also attend the 12th Biennial Australian Mango Industry Association's annual conference in Darwin from May 14-17.
Piñata Farms named Horticulture Farmer of the Year
In other developments, Piñata Farms was named Horticulture Farmer of the Year at The Weekly Times Coles 2018 Farmer of the Year awards in February.
Managing director Gavin Scurr has also been appointed to the NT Farmers' Association board, which Ms Scurr said was a boost for Piñata's business and specifically the Honey Gold brand.
"We have a vested interest in the Northern Territory because we grow both mangoes and pineapples there," she said.

E Numbers
E numbers refer to the classification used in European countries for food additives. When you buy food at the grocery store, the E numbers of the additives are printed on the label of each item. The numbering scheme is the same one followed by all countries as set down by the International Numbering System in the Codex Alimetarious. Some of the additives that have been approved for use in the US, Australia, Canada and New Zealand are not approved for use in the European Union. Although the US does not use the prefix when listing the additives, the "E" is still found in such countries as Canada, Israel and Australia.
A number always follows the letter "E" on food labels and there is a special category for each group of food additives. These categories are:
- 100 – 199 – Colors
- 200 - 299 – Preservatives
- 300 – 399 – Antioxidants and Acidity Regulators
- 400 – 499 – Thickeners, Stabilizers and Emulsifiers
- 500 – 599 – Anticaking agents and PH regulators
- 600 – 600 – Flavor enhancers
The food additives from 900 – 999 take in miscellaneous additives that do not fit in the other categories. Those numbers 1100 – 1599 refer to new chemicals that do not fit into either of the categories.
Take a look at a can of food from your cupboard to see what additives it contains. You may find some of the following additives listed:
- E101 – this is riboflavin, also known as Vitamin B12, but also acts as a food-coloring agent.
- E128 – red food coloring
- E200 – the preservative sorbic acid
- E251 – sodium nitrate, another preservative
- E300 – absorbic acid, also known as the antioxidant, Vitamin C
- E400 – a gelling agent
- E 513 – sulphuric acid
- E621 – monosodium glutamate, usually known as MSG and commonly found in Chinese food
- E901 – Beeswax, both white and yellow and used as a glazing agent
- E1400 – Dextrin, which is used both as a stabilizer and as a thickening agent

- Publisher: Capcom
- Release Date: Jun 28, 2011
- Also On: PC, PlayStation 3
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Aug 29, 2011Ultimately, Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition is a super-sized character expansion pack to an already impressive game. For 1,200 MSP ($15 USD), you're getting four new characters, a slew of balance changes and some tweaks to the online experience. It's not a revolution in play, but if you've already mastered Super Street Fighter IV, it does make the experience fresh again.
Jun 29, 2011If this is your first time considering a shot at Street Fighter, grab this as a $40 retail package, and if you have SSFIV lying around, I think the fifteen bucks to get online and get competitive again is a great idea too.
Jun 24, 2011As I said earlier, Arcade Edition is the finest outing of the series. Capcom have said that this third edition of the game is to be its final outing which, is both a relief and a shame.
Jun 28, 2011I'm glad Capcom released the Arcade Edition and gave buyers a choice to get it via DLC or the full retail release ($15, $40). For avid Street Fighters, this is a solid purchase, but everyone else can do just as well holding out for a price cut.
Jun 28, 2011AE is fun, but just doesn't have a whole lot of staying power.
Jun 17, 2011Street Fighter IV's Arcade Edition refines and balances the formula from one of the best fighting games.
Oct 5, 2011SSFIV: Arcade Edition brings everything that previous iterations have brought to the table, but with four new characters and some tweaks to the gameplay. Hardcore fighting fans will salivate, but casual fans will wonder.
Games Master UKJul 25, 2011A missable update, even for fans. [Sept 2011, p.87]
Xbox World 360 Magazine UKJul 13, 2011Essential for committed fans, but a few curious omissions make Arcade Edition an incomplete update. [Sept 2011, p.110]
Jul 4, 2011A small, but really interesting update to a modern fighting game classic. There's a lot of fighters to play with now, so get to it!
Jun 27, 2011If you are a fan of the series and already have the Super Street Fighter IV version, you should buy this content.
Jun 23, 2011Capcom enhances again its blockbuster, although perhaps the new features are not worth the price. If you have not played the previous SF4 versions, this is the best chance to try the return of the classic fighter.
Jun 20, 2011If you're a hardcore Street Fighter IV fan, you obviously have to purchase this Arcade Edition in order to enjoy the latest changes of your favorite game. But some details suggest that Capcom didn't really finish its job. It's a shame, even though their game remains a reference for the genre. For more casual fighters, the bugs and balance issues we're referring to won't be really apparent, but in order to save a little money, if they didn't already fell for the regular and Super editions, they'd be well advised to wait for the boxed version - because clearly, this DLC Arcade Edition remains a little expensive as is.
Jun 17, 2011Despite its price, fan soundln't miss this DLC. Yes, it's just forur new characters, but the gameplay is completely different, and the pros will feel like playing a brand new game.
Jun 17, 2011Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition is a great DLC for every professionist of this fighting game, but the lack of some important elements is a shame. Capcom has done a good job, but Ark System Works was way more honest with the BlazBlue: Continuum Shift DLC.
Jun 17, 2011Here comes the definitive version of Street Fighter IV. The jump of Arcade Edition is not as big as the jump from the original version to Super, but it's still a great content to keep exploring the joys of this fighting classic (and a great chance to catch up if you want this on PC.)
Jun 15, 2011So Arcade Edition is exactly what it appears to be: a tempered update that lacks the immediate wow factor of its predecessor, but offers an extra layer of refinement on an already winning formula.
Jun 6, 2011While Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition is a complete and solid game, the types of updates and outright lack of change in the production (we couldn't even get a new theme song or stages?) might not make the casual fans impulsively buy this update. Even $15 is a bit steep for features you might not use, and the $40 retail disk isn't a terrific option when Super Street Fighter IV retails anywhere from $10 to $30, depending on where you're buying it from.
Jun 6, 2011The changes in Super Street Fighter IV's Arcade Edition aren't extraordinary, but serve to further refine and balance one of the best fighting games in existence.
Jun 6, 2011In its own right this is StreetFighter, which is a cracking game for casuals and at tournament level and will continue to be so for years to come.
Jun 6, 2011If you are one of those players that takes their tournament stick around the country and competes against the best, you'll undoubtedly want Arcade Edition in your collection. However, it's harder to recommend if you're on the more casual end.
Jul 20, 2011For new players, Super Street Fighter IV - Arcade Edition is a great game to enter the world of Street Fighter. The casual gamer won't find much fun in this new arcade edition but the fighting fans will have the time of their life!
Jul 2, 2011Arcade Edition is the most comprehensive version of Street Fighter IV released to date, and an essential buy for fans who don't already have Super Street Fighter IV.
Jun 28, 2011Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition offers enough new content to warrant the fifteen dollars. But even with four new characters and some exciting online modes, I still wish there was more to this expansion pack. Die-hard fans will love it, but I suspect most people are ready to move on to the next Street Fighter game!

Which annuity is the best way to fund your retirement – a level annuity or an escalating annuity?
- A level annuity provides a fixed income that won't change until the day you die. In real terms though its value is gradually lapped away by inflation's sand-papery tongue.
- An escalating annuity (also known as an index-linked annuity) will offer a comparatively puny income today. But it will grow over time – its fortunes are hitched to the Retail Prices Index (RPI) or Consumer Prices Index (CPI).1
Jam today
When you compare the two types, it's hard not to be seduced by the instant riches offered by the level annuity.
For example, I can currently bag a £20,800 level annuity2 for the same price as a £12,500 escalating RPI annuity. That's over 66% more income for taking the fix.
That's gotta be worth something, right?
And as it turns out it is.
Compelling research by Professor of Retirement Income, Wade Pfau, suggests that the most efficient asset allocation for retirees may well be a mix of equities and level annuities.3 In this scenario, any surplus cash generated by the level annuity over and above the retiree's income needs is invested 100% into equities to create some upside.
So, continuing the example above, I can invest £8,3004 of my £20,800 level annuity income into the stock market (in year one of my retirement), given that I had intended getting by on the £12,500 a year offered by the escalating annuity.
As and when inflation erodes the level annuity's real income below my minimum income floor, then the equity portfolio can be tapped for a top-up or to buy another annuity.
Equally, the equity portfolio can be a source of lifestyle income, emergency funds, or a legacy when the time comes.
Hold the jam, pass the spreadsheets
Let's say I am 65. I took to my spreadsheets and worked out that I could maintain my income for 44 years until I age 109 using the Pfau strategy.
If I shuffled off at 84 then I would leave an inheritance of £120,000 in today's money into the bargain. If I lived any longer, then I spend the lot on another level annuity to keep myself going.
£120,000 is a lot of buffer money and I got there assuming historically average levels of inflation and equity growth.5
Indeed the major flaw in my calculations is that I assume inflation and asset growth trot along smoothly at their historically average levels.
In reality that never happens – for better or worse – as the violent swings of the UK's inflation history shows:
A Monte Carlo sim would give me a better idea of the range of possibilities. In some inflation and growth rate scenarios I'd end up filthy rich. In others, filthy poor.
Hang on, I'm running out of jam
Where things really come unstuck for the level annuity though is when inflation makes like David Banner and bursts out of its corset in a big, green, income smashathon.
You can estimate the damage for yourself using a level vs escalating annuity calculator.
If inflation pootles along at 3%, the escalating annuity only pays out a higher annual income by the time you're 83. You'll have to hang on until age 97 for it to pay out a higher income overall.6
From then on you can die happy.
Right now, UK males live on average until 79 and females until 82. So you'll need exceptionally youthful genes to make an escalating annuity worth your while. (Or the kind of bitterly tenacious grip on life that's normally reserved for Dickensian crones with scores to settle.)
But, but, the tide can turn against the level annuity very quickly when inflation runs wild. If prices rise by 13% a year then the escalating annuity pays a higher income within five years. And it pays a higher total income in just eight – that's shockingly fast.
So when did inflation last average 13% a year in the UK?
In the 1970s, peaking at 25% in 1975.
Ultimately, a level annuity offers more flexibility, growth, and value for money, but it does not offer certainty, security, or safety.
An escalating annuity is the superior product if those are your retirement goals, and frankly who doesn't want some of that in their retirement?
Take it steady,
The Accumulator
- You decide as part of selecting your escalating annuity which inflation index to track, or you can choose a fixed number say 3% or 5% a year. [↩]
- 100% conventional: no dependents, no guarantees, no bells, whistles and big bass drums. [↩]
- Level annuities are known as fixed Single-Premium Immediate Annuities or "fixed SPIAs" in the US. [↩]
- I can actually invest £6,640 after tax. [↩]
- I assumed a consistent inflation rate of 3% p.a. and a real equity return of 5% p.a. The personal allowance is £10,000 (2014-15 rate) and uprated by 3% inflation p.a. My minimum required income was £12,000 after tax. My level annuity income was £20,800. When inflation forced my level annuity income below my minimum required income (in real terms) then I used the accumulated equity portfolio to buy another level annuity. This worked until age 104 when my final £5,000 went into cash and kept my head above water until I was 109. Even then I wasn't out of money. I was just forced to live on less than £12,000 a year as the level annuity continued to grind down. Perhaps I'd sell my house at that stage. Or an antique kidney. [↩]
- I'm still using the £12,500 escalating annuity vs the £20,800 level annuity example. [↩]

Innovative Irish company with a strong commitment to Research & Development
Published on 28-03-2017 07:15:11 by AGRIFORVALOR
Established in 1981, Monaghan Mushrooms is a completely vertically integrated company and has grown rapidly since then to become the largest producer of mushroom substrate and the second largest producer of fresh mushrooms in the world.
It employs a workforce of 3,500 employees across Irish, UK, Dutch, Belgian and Canadian operations, and sells 1,800 tonnes of mushrooms a week. That's 75 Lorries a day!
Monaghan Mushrooms has a strong commitment to Research & Development with a staff of ~40 people dedicated to commercially driven R&D activities, housed in world class laboratory facilities. A clear demonstration of this is the development and launch to market of Vitamin D enhanced mushrooms, through a Novel Foods award from the European Commission.
In 2013 Monaghan Mushrooms developed a spin-out company, Monaghan Biosciences Ltd. as an R&D centre of excellence; to develop value added valorisation of the significant volumes of Spent Mushroom Substrate (SMS) and mushroom stalks it generates. The company now employs 20 (mainly PhD level) research scientists housed in a 500m2 state of the art R&D facility. A core strand of the R&D activities is based on the commercialization of enzyme technology and the commercialization and scale-up of enzyme technology for biomass conversion is one of the key focuses of our on-going research and development programme.
In order to further our research into these areas and help to drive the valorisation of the significant volumes of biomass across Europe, Monaghan Mushrooms became a member of the Bio-based Industries Consortium in 2014. "We have found that it has been a great way to access the significant knowledge and infrastructure which already exists in Europe in relation to pilot facilities for biomass processing" explains Darragh Gaffney, R&D Manager at Monaghan Mushrooms. "Since then, we have been awarded two H2020 BBI-JU projects which commenced in late 2016; BIOrescue and FUNGUSCHAIN."
BIOrescue aims to demonstrate and develop the concept of an integrated bio-production process based on the cascading use of SMS supplemented with wheat straw (WS) and other underutilised lignocellulosic feedstocks. This will turn the economic and logistical problem of waste SMS into biochemical materials that can be used as replacements to those derived from fossil resources. www.biorescue.eu
FUNGUSCHAIN aims to extract value from the agricultural offcuts of commercial mushroom farming. It seeks to process these offcuts into bio-based functional additives and biopolymers using a cascading approach to separate the valuable components into a spectrum of products. It also seeks to prove its industrial viability by building a new bio-refinery and modifying industrial current manufacturing lines. www.funguschain.eu
"As an innovative, indigenous Irish company, we are always assessing new technologies and techniques and operate an open innovation model. So if you have an application or process you think we should hear about, contact us at email@example.com" - Darragh Gaffney, R&D Manager

With an ambitious EU Green Deal on the table, providing secure, affordable and low carbon energy stays high on the priority list of local authorities to increase air quality and reach their energy and climate targets in 2030 and establish new ones by 2050. With heating and cooling (H&C) responsible for 50% of the final energy demand in Europe, decarbonisation of the sector will be crucial to reach those targets.

From the Financial Times:
Iran reformists' electoral hopes dashed
By Najmeh Bozorgmehr in Tehran
Published: February 6 2008
A grandson of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, founder of the 1979 revolution, was also among those rejected, on the grounds of a lack of loyalty to Islam and the constitution.
Mohammad-Reza Aref, a former first vice-president, who was supposed to head the list of the main reformists' coalition, withdrew on Wednesday in protest at the disqualifications, even though he was one of the few senior reformists who had passed the vetting procedure.
The interior ministry last month disqualified most reformist candidates in the first round. The Guardian Council, the constitutional watchdog, this week upheld the government decision and barred more nominees.
Disqualified candidates can appeal, but it is doubtful that many will be de-barred. This process, which can continue until early March, has kept reformists in limbo and unable to make any plans.
Mostafa Tajzadeh, a former deputy interior minister, one of those disqualified for being against Islam and constitution, said reformist were reviewing their choices , one of which was not to run even in the remaining constituencies.
"We have been left with the ablity to contest maybe 10 per cent of Majlis seats, he said. "We don't want to boycott the election but how can we run without candidates?"
Another reformist party, Etemad-e Melli (national trust) which is headed by former parliamentary speaker, Mehdi Karroubi, and is not part of the coalition, has been left with 36 out of its 260 candidates.
Those reformist candidates that have passed the test are mostly relatively unknown, with only a few prominent figures remaining who have a good chance of winning.
The mass disqualifications have guaranteed that conservatives will retain their absolute majority in the next parliament, which they won four years ago following disqualifications on a similar scale.
Mr Karroubi and two former presidents, Mr Khatami and Akbar Hashemi-Rafsanjani held an emergency meeting recently in which they decided to appeal to Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the last say in all state affairs, to intervene.
All three reportedly had separate meetings with Ayatollah Khamenei, but the outcome has not been disclosed to the media.
"The result only seems to be more disqualifications," said one despairing reformist.
The tripartite lobbying team has urged reformists not to boycott the election but to compete wherever they can.

You'd never know it, looking at her now in a state of angelic repose.
But last night she almost drove me over the edge my sleep-deprived self has been toeing for weeks.
It was the latest in a string of evenings full of crying and lack of sleep. Clearly, her refusal to stop kicking her left leg long enough for me to zipper it back into her pajamas was meant to finish pushing me past my limits of self control.
Get the baby book, I asked Jared. Read what it says about colic and how to ease it in case we're missing something.
After reading the section, we knew no new tricks and Baby Girl was holding strong.
The swaddle didn't calm her. She couldn't hear soothing sounds over her screaming. Swaying was doing nothing for her but was jabbing a dagger into my lower back. She had been fed, repeatedly, and her diaper was dry. I had just checked. Hence why her leg was out of her pajamas in the first place.
Walk away, I remembered was the advice of every health care professional we have come across. Better to not let your frustration turn to irrational anger and hurt your baby.
Did their endorsement make me feel like less of a failure as a parent for not being able to put my child to sleep? No.
Did their advice give me the encouragement I needed to let it go and walk away? Yes.
I need a minute, I told Jared, throwing my hands up in surrender.
As Baby Girl cried in the bedroom, so did I, braced against the kitchen counter.
After several minutes, the house became quiet and I walked into the bedroom to find Jared with Baby Girl cradled in his arms, swaying to ocean wave sounds.
Waves of emotion washed over me.
One of relief that she was asleep.
One of love for Jared and Baby Girl.
One of thankfulness that medical professionals are honest about the trials of parenthood and give us the encouragement and support to be honest with ourselves too.
And one of gratefulness for the white noise setting on the radio.

Apricot Almond Bran Muffins
June 19, 2012
Muffins can solve many problems: a hungry house full of weekend guests, a last minute snack for preschool, quick and easy breakfasts through the week (from the freezer), or as I recently found myself, with double my usual number of hungry children running underfoot. While not all muffins hold well enough to serve after they have been left to cool, these muffins are still moist and flavorful hours after they have cooled or even reheated from the freezer.
Apricot Almond Bran Muffins are adapted from a recipe in Supernatural Everyday by Heidi Swanson that I have come to love. If you are seeking a super dense. chewy style of bran muffing, this is not the one. Though this recipe is whole grain with a healthy dose of bran, the texture is incredibly light and tender. The taste of butter is unmistakable. I added apricots to take advantage of the beautiful fruit found at the market. Almonds, always a friend of the apricot, flavor the muffin and add a crunch to the top. Make these for a crowd, or just for a few and freeze the rest. They reheat beautifully.

Breakfast Pizza
January 15, 2012
Pizza for breakfast is nothing new, but generally it conjures up images of bleary-eyed rifling through the refrigerator for something to eat after a late night. Since we make pizza nearly every Friday night, it is not uncommon for someone in our family to nibble on a slice while waiting for the "real" breakfast to be served. "Real" breakfast at our house is more commonly pancakes, waffles, eggs of some incarnation, or perhaps a muffin or scone. (We eat our fair share of cereal as well).
Friday nights are usually pizza night at our house. However last week, our Friday night plans changed at the last minute and all I could think of was how we could make pizza for breakfast instead! The dough was already in the refrigerator, we have frozen pesto in the from last summers' garden basil explosion, and a lug of bacon I could not pass up at the store the other day. Pizza for breakfast was inevitable.
Breakfast Pizza earns its sincere place at the breakfast table because it boasts both eggs and bacon, quintessential breakfast foods. On the tossed dough round, pesto creates a base of flavor and color. The cheese is somewhat lightly scattered, to allow the egg to take center stage. Cook the bacon until crispy before chopping it and tossing it on the pie. The eggs are not cooked in advance, simply crack them on top. I used four which seemed to fit nicely on both the pizza and our plates (there are four of us). For those of you who do not equate broccoli with breakfast (like half of my family) feel free to leave it off. I like any chance to toss veggies into every meal and our garden is overflowing with broccoli right now. Like any pizza there are a million variations. Pesto could easily be replaced with roasted garlic sauce, tomato-based pizza sauce, or simply a brush of olive oil. Change out sausage for the bacon or leave them off altogether for a vegetarian meal. Not into broccoli? Try asparagus in the spring or tomatoes in the summer. Nothing even says you have to eat this for breakfast, it would be a great lunch or dinner as well.

Super Tasty Home Fries
November 14, 2011
Home-fried potatoes seems so simple, yet for years they eluded me. The challenge lies in achieving a crispy browned exterior on the potato without having to use copious amounts of oil. Starting with raw potatoes, I always found that the outside browned before the inside could cook through. Since I always used oil rather judiciously, the potatoes would stick to the pan and we would miss out on the flavorful, crispy skin. After much trial and error, I developed this recipe which results in perfectly seasoned potatoes with just the right amount of crunch, all with only a little bit of oil.
Super Tasty Home Fries start with cooked potato. You can either boil them briefly or use leftover baked potato. Either work well. I used russet potatoes for the picture, but really any type of potato works well. The dish begins on the stove-top and finishes in the oven. It works best with a cast iron skillet, but any oven safe pan will work. In a pinch, you can spread out the potatoes on a baking sheet. Saute the onion with the spices, then add the potato and toss in the oven. For a cheesy touch, melt cheddar over the top of the potatoes in the final minutes. These home fries are a staple at our house. They really are super tasty!

Berry Dutch Baby
August 3, 2011
Breakfast is sometimes tiresome. We make eggs, pancakes, waffles, granola, but even with all of those choices, we are still sometimes bored. Recently I remembered about Dutch Babies which my mother used to make for me. They are essentially large popovers that are sliced and served with lemon and powdered sugar or jams and syrups if you prefer. As a child I loved these, but I have not be able to completely sell my kids on them for some reason. The other night however, as I said goodnight, my son requested a Dutch Baby with berries for breakfast.
Making Dutch Babies is simple, you whisk together a batter, preheat a cast iron in the oven, and pour the batter into the hot pan. The batter then cooks in the oven until it puffs up and browns. It is dramatic and beautiful, but have your audience near when you take it from the oven, because it soon falls. Dutch Babies are best eaten very soon after being removed from the oven.
My New Love, Focaccia- Two Ways
May 19, 2011
Over the last few weeks, several batches of focaccia made their way through my oven. Each batch took on a different personality. I topped one with oven-dried figs, walnuts, and blue cheese as an appetizer, another I brushed with garlic oil and served as a side dish. Another batch I made into a simple pizza and the last I topped with apples and cinnamon sugar for breakfast. Anyway you top this bread, it is delightful.
Besides its versatility and incredible taste, this bread is also very convenient to make. The dough rises twice, then rests in the refrigerator for 24-36 hours. When you are ready to bake, just pull a dough ball from the fridge, stretch it out, and top it as you please. Twice I served this bread for brunch. Usually I do not even consider a yeasted bread for brunch, because of the time it takes to rise, but since rises the day before, it is easy to pull off for a meal any time of day.
Though I have topped this bread many ways, my favorite remains brushing it with a garlic infused olive oil, sprinkling it with fresh herbs, and scattering coarse salt over the top. The outside becomes crunchy and brown, but the inside stays chewy and moist. The garlic flavor permeates the whole flatbread and the salt provides a crunch. It was a great accompaniment to our Huevos Diablos con Chorizo the other morning. Topping it with thinnly sliced apples is a close second, for a sweet version that is suitable for both brunch or dessert, though I would sweeten it up a bit more if serving it for dessert.

Huevos Diablos con Chorizo
May 15, 2011
This month's Charcutepalooza Challenge was meat grinding. Oh, I really became excited about this one. I recently picked up a meat grinder attachment for my Kitchen aide and have been tapping into the meat lover within making loads of sausage and meatballs. You see, my grandfather was a butcher and though my father chose another career, he is a meat enthusiast. I come from the kind of family that doesn't consider a meal complete without some form of meat. (That would explain why I was nearly disowned during my 6 years exploring vegetarian and veganism.) But back to meat grinding, it is so easy and the product is sensational!
Last year, we began purchasing pork by the half-hog from our fabulous young cousin who raises them for 4H. There are so many reasons to buy fresh, local, conscientiously-raised meat, not least of which is that the quality is superb. For this challenge, I ground a pork shoulder and made chorizo following Michael Ruhlman's guidance in Charcuterie. Though I have made a number of different types of sausage, chorizo is one of the most satisfying. I think that is because I generally have a difficult time finding a chorizo that I can still put in my cart after I read the ingredient label. The concept of using an entire animal is a good one, though it seems factory-based sausage companies have a different idea of what is suitable for consumption than most home cooks do. This chorizo is deeply flavored, full of completely recognizable fresh ingredients including lovingly raised meat, and is super lean.

text: Haunt The Woods share immersive new single 'Amethyst' 19/07/2019 News 4 HAUNT THE WOODS 'AMETHYST' NEW SINGLE OUT NOW LISTEN HERE LONDON HEADLINE SHOW THE OLD BLUE LAST – 10TH SEPTEMBER Ambient Cornish rock band Haunt The Woods have shared their new single, the beautifully atmospheric 'Amethyst', ahead of their headline show at London's Old Blue Last on September 10th. Driving guitars propel the track into expansive verses and explosive choruses, underpinning singer Jonathan Stafford's expressive vocals, reminiscent of Thom Yorke and Jeff Buckley. "This was a song that really evolved in our time with Peter Miles at Middle Farm Studios, tucked away from the world surrounded by nature," say the band. "We're most at home when we throw a song into the mixer and challenge its structure and components. It spans a few different styles and while the lyrics are at times depressing, it feels euphoric in so many ways." Blending sounds from alternative, prog, folk and pop and channelling influences from the likes of Pink Floyd, Muse, Fleet Foxes and Bon Iver, Haunt The Woods have crafted a distinctive sound, glistening with ambient swells and underpinned by expressive rhythms and masterly songwriting. The band released two EPs, The Line and Circle last year, and have performed at festivals including Glastonbury, Boardmasters and Port Elliot, as well as selling out a bi-monthly residency at Plymouth Barbican Theatre, and headlining Plymouth Pavilions 'Introduces' showcase. The band have also performed a sold-out show at London's St Pancras Old Church and supported a range of artists from the likes of Sunset Sons to KT Tunstall.

Outdoor wedding music
Can you have wedding music outdoors? Of course—if it's not pouring it down, that is! With all this bad weather we've been having lately here in the UK, it can be tricky knowing whether it'll rain or shine on your big day. But the good news is that you don't have to decide until the day before your wedding, or even the morning is fine—having played at lots of weddings, I can easily adapt to any situation so long as you have an indoor space on standby.
I've played live music outdoors in all kinds of settings in the London area and beyond—from garden birthday parties under big marquees to smart pub patios out in the open. You can have the same set up as indoors, with the keyboard, speakers and lighting. So long as there's a nearby electrical supply, it's easy enough—but, if not, why not opt for an acoustic set on the guitar?

New Guidance Released For TAVR
A new expert consensus decision pathway will assist clinicians and hospitals in assessing patients' eligibility for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), successfully performing the procedure and providing appropriate follow-up. The 2017 ACC Expert Consensus Decision Pathway for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in the Management of Adults with Aortic Stenosis builds on recommendations set forth in the 2014 AHA/ACC Guidelines for Management of Patients with Valvular Heart Disease, and was published Jan. 4 in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
In order to develop practice tools that could readily help centers improve their TAVR processes, patient safety and outcomes, the writing committee, chaired by Catherine M. Otto, MD, FACC, developed checklists that serve as a starting point for managing patients who are being considered for TAVR. The document also takes clinicians through the steps that are needed to successfully perform the procedure, including what imaging tests are needed and how to ensure continuity of care when patients transition back to their treating physicians.
The document provides a framework with four key sets of considerations: (1) pre-procedure considerations, (2) which imaging tests and measurements are needed and when, (3) key issues and considerations in performing the TAVR procedure itself and managing complications, and (4) managing patients immediately after the procedure and for longer follow-up to ensure continuity of care.
The new checklists help clinicians apply best practices, including determining if TAVR is appropriate in the context of individual patient considerations. The guidance also reinforces the central role of the heart valve team and the need for close collaboration with other clinicians, who should ideally have easy access to care plans, including what imaging tests are needed. The writing committee hopes hospitals and valve centers will expand upon these resources to create their own internal checklists to use in patient care and update them over time to reflect the most recent clinical recommendations.
"TAVR is one of the most rapidly expanding technologies in medical care today, and as our population ages, we will see increasing numbers of people with severe aortic valve stenosis, so it is important to provide guidance on optimal use of this treatment," Otto said. "There is also a great deal of interest among patients who usually prefer TAVR over open heart valve surgery, if this option is appropriate for their medical condition."

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a type of disability caused by brain injury at birth.
Much like autism, CP is a spectrum. Some people are mildly affected – like Łukasz (aka Lennart) – while other people have severe effects and cannot function without aid – like Gerard (pictured on the right).
People with cerebral palsy experience various problems with muscle tension: either too much or too little. This results in abnormal walking patterns and trouble keeping balance. Some types of CP also cause loss of muscle control, resulting in twitching. Most severe cases mean life-long pain from tense (spastic) muscles and even complete paralysis.
If all this wasn't enough, CP can also appear as part of a combo with blindness, deafness, or mental disability.
Note that this is only a very basic description of CP. If you'd like to know more, check out the Wikipedia page on cerebral palsy.

Sometimes I get a brief epiphany or visual that makes a concept very clear to me – I had one of those last night that I think explains the advantage of targetting the longtail vs the mass.
The concept of longtail is "selling less, of more"…okay, got it.
Imagine – if you had the choice to attempt to grow one or two VERY large flowers or grow a field of thousands of very small flowers.
What do you think is more viable for you?
The large flower option introduces lots of risk. If just one of them doesn't bloom, you suffer a material loss of revenue. The skill, care, nurturing and such to actually grow it to become so resource intensive it is prohibitive for many.
The field is a much more accessible option is it not? Once you have mastered growing one small flower, it is much easier to roll that out and grow more and more and more…and more and more. It's okay if lots of them don't bloom, or aren't the right color. You're diversified.
The next time you are trying to explain the longtail, stop and smell the roses.

She pulled out her white board. In my experience, breakthroughs come when a therapist pulls out a white board.
Moments before, I'd been unloading all of my feelings on her. I didn't expect anything to change; I just knew I needed to get the weight of parenting off my chest for a while.
"I love my kids," I said. "But I can barely handle all of my feelings, much less theirs!"
Our oldest, in particular, had recently started sharing only his negative thoughts with me. He's nine, so most of them are trivial, but I was struggling to handle his many complaints.
Mom, my ears were hurting when I was swimming… Mom, I don't think I like my teacher after all… Mom, the yogurt in my school lunch was warm by lunchtime…
The grievances are so small, but when it's almost all you're hearing, they add up fast.
Add to that the negativity all of us encounter on a daily basis—a pessimistic co-worker, a Facebook feed filled with polarized political views, even a spouse who just plain had a bad day—and it can weigh us down.
My therapist adjusted the white board on her lap and said it represented a continuum. On one side she drew a circle using a dashed line, and on the other side, she drew a circle using a solid line.
Then she drew arrows pointing toward each circle, but only one of the circles (the one made out of a dashed line) was penetrated by the arrows. The arrows pointing at the other circle (the solid one) couldn't get through.
"You," she said, "are the dashed circle. We call that 'enmeshed.' Everything gets through. You take it all in."
She added that we also don't want to be "disengaged," the solid circle. That's too far on the other extreme. Nothing gets in, and it's an isolating way to live.
So where do we want to be? You called it—the happy middle!
If I had to guess, I'd say most women err on the side of being overly permeable. We know how our children feel about each of their friends, how our mom friends feel about each other, how our colleagues feel about their jobs, how our spouses like their toast!
And sometimes what we know—all that information that we're the keepers of—becomes how we feel.
What we're looking for, though, is a balance between permeable (or enmeshed, as my therapist called it) and impenetrable (or disengaged).
Not everyone's opinion needs to rest on your shoulders. Not every like or dislike needs to be filed away in your memory. Not every complaint that escapes your child's lips needs to be fixed by you. It's okay to just hear them… and let them go.
Two Things to Remember
Next time your child hits you with another negative statement, try remembering these two things:
1. You determine how much you let in.
You know how a hurricane can be raging, but deep within is a small circle of stillness? I try to think of myself as the eye of the storm anytime I'm facing something I don't want to disturb my inner calm.
I am the eye of the storm. That negativity isn't getting in right now.
2. Everything is a bid for attention.
When you can keep yourself from becoming enmeshed—from letting those negative feelings inside—you'll be more able to recognize what's at play under the surface.
Everything is a bid—a request, a plea—for attention. For connection.
Maybe when your son comes to you with negativity, it's not a problem for you to solve as much as it is a need for you to simply be there with him. And maybe your daughter can live with the way her door hinges squeak or the way her brother chews at the dinner table, but she can't thrive without you.
Related: 42 Ways to Make Your Kids Feel Absolutely Loved
You're what your child needs. Everything is a bid for attention.
Work to find that happy middle—the place where you can choose what you let in—and see if you can transition with your child from negativity to connection.
"Mom," my son says. "Do we have to have to eat this for dinner??"
"Yeah, bud. This is what I made. But tell me about your favorite meal you've EVER had. I want to hear all about it."
I'm curious—Where would you say you naturally fall on the continuum? Do you let it all in like I do?

She is undermuscled!
See: The Power of Protein!
One of my favorite lunches is a Flatout pizza.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Back the flatout for 8 minutes or until crispy. Take out of oven, add marinara, cheese and canadian bacon. Bake for another 8 minutes of until cheese is melted.
You cannot lose weight without protein in your diet. I would challenge anyone who has a differing opinion to post their thooughts and provide references.
Protein does 2 primary things with weight loss: 1) it causes satiety (the feeling of fullness) and 2) its metabolically expensive (see link #1).

Your child struggles when they get a cold. Coughing, wheezing, extreme fatigue--they resolve, but you wonder if something else is happening. Could your child have asthma? The Asthma Initiative of Michigan maintains that one in ten children in the United States has this chronic respiratory condition. Please contact Orchard Pediatrics in West Bloomfield, MI for evaluation of your child's possible asthma symptoms.
Symptoms of asthma
Both children and adults who suffer from asthma have trouble taking air in and exhaling it. Their airways are swollen, constricting their breathing. Copious amounts of mucous accompany this bronchospasm which may be triggered by stress, exercise, allergens (such as grass or animal dander), cigarette smoke, temperature extremes and other weather-related changes, food, colds or the flu and environmental and indoor pollutants.
Specifically, asthma symptoms include:
- Shortness of breath
- Restlessness and fatigue
- Wheezing
- Coughing, particularly at night
- A tightness or heaviness in the chest
An increasing problem
The Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta says asthma diagnoses are increasing. While exact causes behind the condition are unknown, parents should understand that asthma is serious, impacting daily functioning and long-term well-being. However, families can manage the symptoms with an asthma action plan from the board-certified physicians at Orchard Pediatrics in West Bloomfield.
An asthma evaluation
It includes a complete medical history and physical. A lung function test, called spirometry, measures how much air your child expels in a single breath. Your pediatrician may order blood work and chest X-rays, too.
With a confirmed diagnosis, you and your child's doctor will formulate an asthma action plan to manage symptoms. This plan will include knowing your child's triggers, their medications (fast-acting bronchodilators and long-term corticosteroids), and what you should during a serious attack. The American Lung Association advocates using this plan to help physicians, parents, school nurses and caregivers coordinate the child's care with accurate information and a sensible way to deal with symptoms, particularly when symptoms are dangerous and potentially life-threatening.
Don't wait
If you suspect your child has asthma, contact Dr. Amy Dunn, Dr. Beth Nadis and Dr. Laurie Fisher at Orchard Pediatrics in West Bloomfield, MI and serving the Commerce Township, and Farmington Hills Areas for a consultation. Together, you and your child's doctor can help your youngster lead an active, happy life. Call the office team at (248) 855-7510.

Question: I feel like I could have a form of OCD
|Stormy94 - Sun Apr 05, 2009 2:20 am
Share |
So, let take you back to where it all started.
I had a pretty happy childhood for the most part, but when I turned about 11 something happened to my brain. It was like a turnaround from being a happy child to being depressed all the time. Call it hormones if you will. Now, I had always been a shy kid, but when I was 12 shyness turned into social anxiety. I would sit there in the class and be exremely uncomfortable. I had a panic attack at 12 years old while sitting in class one day watching a film. I'm not sure where it even came from. It was like all of a sudden I started to feel VERY nervous - I was shaking, sweating, my heart was racing and pounding, I felt dizzy... I remember I felt like I was dying. Now tell me, is that normal for a 12 year old kid to go through? Anways, at 17 I am not as bad now but I still go through social anxiety and mood swings.
So... getting to the present. I go through daily stress and anxiety. And I don't know why. There isn't really anything going on in my life to make me anxious. I don't know if it's hormones, or what.
I have never been diagnosed with a mental illness, but I know for a fact I have Social Anxiety Disorder - not extremely severe, mind you. I also feel like I have a mild form of Thanatophobia. Lately I have had this fear of dying. It all started several months ago, when I took too much of a certain drug (I'm not saying what it was) and it caused my heart to beat very fast. Like SUPER fast. I felt like I was gonna faint and like I was having a heart attack. Scared the ***** out of me. Ever since then I am a lot more careful. I don't do any drugs, or even really smoke cigarettes anymore. I won't drink coffee. I'm afraid of eating certain foods like cake because I'm afraid if I let my cholesterol get too high my blood pressure will get high and I'll have a heart attack. I don't know why I have these fears. But I think one reason I am scared of dying is because I am scared of going to hell. I am a born-again Christian, but sometimes I feel as though God is mad at me, and if I died He might not let me go to Heaven. It's also the fear of losing my family and everything I have here. It's like, I can't imagine my life without my family, or music... The things here on Earth that give me the greatest joy.
Now, about the OCD thing. Like I aleady mentioned I just get really anxious, usually about the stupidest, smallest things. I worry about stuff that I don't need to worry about. I repeatedly pray the same phrases in my head over and over, I can't stop doing that. I talk to myself in my head constantly (that might be normal). Sometimes, I just feel as if I'm going insane. Like last night, I was fine. Then I started getting stressed out over something stupid. The stress got so bad I started to feel faint so I tried to calm myself down and do something to occupy my mind. But I don't know, I just had these feelings like I was going insane and it really scared me.
I'm sorry my post is so long. But I don't have a therapist or anything (it'd be really hard for me to open up to someone in person, online you can be anonymous) but I figure maybe someone on here can give me some answers. What I want to know is is it just hormones? Is it normal for me to feel like this all the time? Or could I have a mental illness?

Hi stormy94,
What you are experiencing is most definitely not "normal", nor just "hormones". It is not what most people experience, and it sounds very emotionally disruptive, frightening and exhausting. I imagine it distracts you from doing the things you want to do.
It does sound like you may have a cluster of genuine anxiety disorders; panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and social anxiety disorder are all possible, either alone or in combination with one another. People with anxiety disorders often receive more than one diagnosis; this doesn't mean that they actually have several conditions, but that the way we classify and diagnose mental health disorders is by grouping certain clusters of symptoms together, and these clusters (that are each represented by a separate diagnosis) appear like completely separate conditions. In reality, we think that there is a single process of brain functioning that is being regulated in an abnormal way that causes what we diagnose as separate disorders. This can be seen as a brain "chemical imbalance", involving the nerve chemicals called "serotonin" and "norepinephrine" (and others) that cause changes in the way the emotional centers of the brain works. These changes are thought to be treatable and reversible to normal functioning.
Often, people with anxiety disorders can also become depressed due to the stress of unrelenting anxiety; sometimes, depression also comes before or at the same time as the anxiety.
To answer your question, you do not appear to have any "mental illness". At the same time, your condition is likely to be "medical"; in other words, there are the changes in brain chemistry (described above) that contribute to your condition.
I understand that it can be unsettling and uncomfortable to see a mental health professional in person. However, perhaps if you understand that you are NOT "crazy", you are not causing the conditions that you have, and that these are medical conditions just as diabetes or high blood pressure, perhaps you may feel more comfortable with this. I would suggest that you consider seeing a well regarded psychiatrist in your vicinity to obtain an evaluation, recommendations and treatment.
It is likely that the psychiatrist will recommend a combination of talk psychotherapy and medication for the anxiety and /or depression conditions that he/she may diagnose. Remember that the medical aspect of your condition doesn't mean that talk therapy can't help. Talking about the right things, depending upon your diagnosis and your life experiences, has a big impact upon the anxiety disorders, in part by its direct impact upon what is happening in our brains. So, a medical condition doesn't mean that only medicine can be helpful. At the same time, often people need both talk therapy and medication to provide optimal treatment for anxiety (and other) mental health disorders.
I hope that this is helpful to you. To locate a psychiatrist, you can contact your family doctor, your local hospital, your local community mental health center, department of health, or friends/relatives who have seen a psychiatrist, to get names of well regarded psychiatrists in your vicinity.
Good luck! -E. Seigle MD

Anthony Mea – Landscape
July 3, 2015 in Singles
Let's end tonight with the latest from Anthony Mea, fresh from his D&B excursions on Spring Tube Liquid and back in the deep house groove on BiG AL's Haute Musique imprint.
In its original form, Landcsapeis a sumptuous, soul-tinged late-nighter with pads that just don't stop and a looping female "glad it's taught ya" (?) vocal. Evgeny's Midnight Dub shouldn't really need too much explaining, but just in case is a sparser, mellower pass bordering on downtempo territory, while finally Pano Manara's Tribute Mix is another deeper rub but featuring the vocal this time.
Very classy stuff indeed, but then for Haute Musique that's pretty much par for the course. Ditto Mr Mea, come to that!
Out: This week on Beatport, everywhere else from 13 July
