Insects play a key role in the pollination of cultivated plants, and a new study suggests that they can be even more important than fertilizer.
Lack of bees and other wild insects to pollinate crop plants can reduce harvest yields more drastically than a lack of fertilizer or a failure to provide the crops with sufficient water.
When crops are adequately pollinated, on the other hand, the plants bear more fruit and their nutrient content changes.
These are the findings of an experiment on almond trees conducted in California by the Freiburg ecologist Prof. Dr. Alexandra-Maria Klein and her colleagues from the USA. The team published articles presenting their findings in the journals Plant Biology and PLoS ONE.
Together with students and colleagues at the University of California, Berkeley, Alexandra Klein manipulated almond trees by preventing bees from pollinating blossoms with the help of cages, allowing the bees to pollinate the blossoms, or pollinating them by hand.
In addition, the researchers watered and fertilized trees in accordance with local practices or gave them only little water or no fertilizer. In the case of several almond trees, they combined the various manipulations in order to study in isolation and in combination the effects on harvest yield and the composition of nutrients in the nuts. The almond trees that were pollinated by hand produced the most nuts, but they were also very small.
By contrast, a tree that was left unpollinated hardly produced any nuts at all — but the few that it did produce were very large. The yield of the trees pollinated by bees was roughly 200 percent higher than that of self-pollinatedtrees.
Fertilization and watering only had an effect on harvest yield in combination with the pollination manipulations. However, the inadequately watered trees lost more leaves, and the leaves of the unfertilized trees increasingly turned yellow.
This led the scientists to the conclusion that an almond tree can compensate for a lack of nutrients and water in the short term by directing stored nutrients and water to the fruits but cannot compensate for insufficient pollination. Furthermore, the scientists demonstrated that the composition of nutrients differs depending on the pollination mode: Nuts from the self-pollinated trees contained a lower proportion of linoleic acid but a higher proportion of vitamin E.

Hi guys!
I created several months ago an application used to follow the Twinoid community on Ludum Dare (games, devblogs, etc.)
I'm currently adding features, and I'd like to give some love to "non-author" JAM participants. I'm working on allowing users to link to their LD account (and confirm by adding a word to their description for a few seconds) so that the application can start following future blog posts and games.
This last thing (future games) needs the user id to be effective. But I can't get it automatically at the moment if the user did not post any game yet =/
I can confirm it being a particular user's id (with /compo/?author=666), I can manually find it with media/blog post search in the dashboard, etc.
But I did not find any way of actually getting a user id from the author name automatically (or let the user find it to give it to me).
Do you guys know any way to do that?

How to use Crystals for self-care
Self-care is really popular right now and for good reason. In America where I live, people tend to overwork and burnout. We are hustling multiple jobs to put food on the table or to just have health benefits for our family. People are finally starting to put themselves first and try to bring more balance and self-care into their lives.
I LOVE crystals because they are beautiful and a true masterpiece that Earth creates. Each one is unique and has taken a long time for form. It is widely believed that crystals hold healing energy and can enhance many areas of your life. I have tried many crystals, and I can attest to their magic.
Crystals effect different people differently, so it's possible what works for 1 person may not work for another. You can have several people use the same crystals and some will have magnificent results and others won't feel a thing. After working with crystals for the last several years I realized it really is all about the intention and your belief. If you believe that the crystal's energy is going to produce specific results, it will. Here are my favorite uses of crystals for self-care:
My personal favorite crystal for protection is black tourmaline. I have been using it for years to protect myself from toxic people around me, as well as during travel or natural disasters. For example, in late 2017, we had a forest fire nearby in Bonsall, California. After praying for the fires to be fully contained and harm no one, I put on my black tourmaline pendant and voluntarily evacuated for the night with my son. When I woke up in the morning, the crystal had shattered. Several people told me that it means the crystal has done its job in protecting me. That same day although the fires have spread further, they actually took a turn in a different direction from where I lived, and later thankfully, fully contained.
Better Dreams:
Ever since I was a kid, I always had very vivid dreams. I also had many nightmares and sleep paralysis (which is the most terrifying thing EVER). When I discovered crystals, naturally I decided to add them to my bedside to help me have better dreams. I remember there was a month period when I kept having nightmares so I decided to add some positive crystals like rose quartz, black tourmaline for protection, and a few others near my bedside. I even put some under my pillow. It's been many months since and I've had only 1 nightmare since then which has been a huge improvement.
One of the coolest experiences I have ever had during meditation happened when I was taking a bath and holding a fairly large labradorite in my hands and listening to a guided meditation. I had the most emotional out of body experience that allowed me to see a painful situation in a new light and finally heal and forgive. Right after that I saw and felt fully abundant and saw a waterfall flowing. It felt like I had won the lottery. It was the first time I had ever felt that kind of unlimited and definite feeling of abundance. That was about 3 years ago, and I have not experienced anything close to that since, but I believe the labradorite was the main factor as it is a very magical crystal that allows you to connect to higher realms of consciousness and parallel worlds of endless possibilities.
As an artist, I often have creator's block. As someone who also writes blogs on my website and daily social media posts, I also often have writer's block. So whenever I need assistance in clarity and my ability to express myself clearly, I surround myself with selenite and lapis lazuli. I have a lapis lazuli choker which I like to wear, I also have it as a bracelet. And I have many selenite crystals that I simply hold or place near my while typing my blog or creating. You can also hold either of those crystals while meditating to receive clarity.
The most popular crystal for love is rose quartz. It's a great idea to place it in corners of your home to promote love and harmony. If you feel guarded, you can place it on your heart and do a meditation laying down to help open up your heart chakra. You can also wear it as jewelry to help you feel more love, as feeling love, attracts love and can completely effect that love energy in others as well.
Connect to Higher Self:
I recently discovered Merkabas and their power in being able to connect to your higher self. This is something I have been working hard on strengthening for the past 2 years or so. I just received one from Healingcrystals.com and I am super excited to meditate with it. Learn about the power of Merkaba. You can buy one here.
I will gladly take any Crystal over a diamond any day. I love the fact the crystals come in beautiful organic shapes and you can buy them raw or tumbled or cut into a specific shape. I personally love to see their natural beauty.
I just discovered healingcrystals.com has a very unique set of card decks with Crystal properties on them. While purchasing dozens and dozens of crystals could get expensive I also learned you can simply work with the energy of a crystal such as an Oracle card with the crystals picture and information on it. These cards have so much information about crystals and how they connect with chakras and even animal totems. I am very excited to dive in to learning more!
Other cool crystals
Using crystals does not have to feel complicated or overwhelming. The true magic is within you.
Check out this huge crystal directory and their uses. You can work with any crystal that you feel drawn to, which is how I recommend buying crystals.
I think the very first crystals I've ever purchased were from healingcrystals.com You can get 10% discount if you use this code: DEJAHC10 on their website!

"former correctional facility located near downtown Nashville"
This place is on private property. Listing for informational purposes only. Please do not visit without express permission from the land owner. Tennessee State Prison is a former correctional facility located near downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Opened in 1898, the prison has been closed since 1992.[1] It has been the location for the films Nashville, Marie, Ernest Goes to Jail, Against the Wall, The Green Mile, The Last Castle,] two of Eric Church's music videos "Lightning" and "Homeboy", and Pillar's "Bring Me Down" music video. Most recently VH1's Celebrity Paranormal Project filmed there for the third episode of the series (titled "The Warden") as well as the last episode of the first season (titled "Dead Man Walking"). The prison was referred to as "The Walls Maximum Security Prison" in both episodes to protect the location's privacy.
The guards were not a problem for us we fought them off with our bare hands. Someone would say the guards were never seen again.
I live in Nashville and you actually can't get to this place anymore, they have armed guards blocking off the entrance
The guards turn you around immediately and will not even let you take a picture without filling out a contract in pain money like your movie producer something.
Looks like Disneyland.
I've been on several different video shoots on this location. The inside is in horrible disrepair. Its really unsafe now to go in.

text: Where were you all? Another day of wall-to-wall sunshine, but perishing cold if you weren't dressed for it. Stuart flew two friends, Jon and Trev had a flight each, and John T and I took HYJ for a bimble. It was .... er .... interesting .... close to the ground, but quite smooth higher up, though I couldn't connect with the wave. Toni found some (almost literally) thumping lift on tow, but it wasn't there after we released. Just tantalising. Also fairly sporty on approach. Then the forecast front came in, and we had just closed the hangar when the first flakes of snow started to fall. I was happy to make it home before the snow began in earnest.

Hikari no Valusia ~What a Beautiful Hopes~ Review
Yet another land of fantasies to explore.
Yet another tangled web of cold machines and shining wishes.
Yet another cast of heroes, villains, lovers and warriors.
Have the stories ended yet? No, not by a long shot.
Like the other WABs, we have a wonderfully crafted original fantasy setting which compliments the previous games well while allowing for a brand new cast of colorful (I mean that one very literally) and interesting characters. And of course the art and music are as great and appropriate as ever (this one even has more cgs than usual, on top of full voicing!). But unlike the previous WABs, there is no episodic plot, or at least not the same kind as before.
Instead of a simple sequence of independent side stories, Valusia has several intertwining subplots which last the entire game and are told in little chunks focusing on one or two characters at a time. This is a very welcome change, though it has its ups and downs.
On the one hand, every significant character is now irreplaceable in terms of plot relevance, and when all the threads come together at the end the climax is truly stunning. On the other hand, this is mostly the case at the end of the game. Until then the story can't help but feel somewhat arbitrary, and a couple of the subplots do indeed end up lost and forgotten.
There are also some scenes which are a bit too long, or too repetitive, or too cheesy, but all tolled these are at most a nuisance. Where it really counts, Valusia does everything right. All the major questions are answered this time around (though it still expects you to be working stuff out yourself), and all the characters you really care about get important roles and satisfying resolutions. If you're patient and paying attention, you will be amazed.
Score: 9/10
Polarization: Mild (-2)
In the worst case scenario, the final chapters will be too little too late to be mind-blowing. Hopefully most readers will be nervous but remain cautiously optimistic like I did. You may also feel that the stuff which did not get resolved or explained is actually rather important, and thus constitutes a bigger problem.
Routes/Endings Played: Linear
PS: The last few chapters of Valusia definitely expect the reader to have read and been paying attention during Inganock and Sharnoth. Expect to miss a few important details if you haven't read those first (Sharnoth especially). Celenaria's quite optional though, despite the shout out.
I always heard that Valusia was the weakest of the WAB series, but your review is now assuring me that its quality is as good as the other one in the series. As a fan of sharnoth and inganock, I will definitely try to check it out soon.
On another note, I don't mean to trouble you, but are you interested reviewing Sona-nyl when it comes out? I can't really find a good source of WAB series and so I am really interested in hearing your opinion.
Well, since I am also a WAB series fanboy, I would definitely enjoy it regardless of the circumstances behind the high score.
Oh, that's a good new! I…already have the game on pre-order, so it will really be great to see if the game is good enough for a translation project in the future or not.
I began reading about the WAB series some time ago and slowly the desire to play it began to grow within me… I'll start reading Inganock this week and I have high expectations for it. Thanks for another good review Ixrec! Allways following~
"Hopefully it's not just me being a fanboy."
As long as you aren't just blatantly ignoring flaws to give it a high score, being a fanboy of the series actually is a -positive- when writing a review. It will show whether this VN will interest those that enjoyed Sharnoth or one of the other WAB novels.
After completing Sharnoth. I found this VN interesting. How to get it?
I neither found a torrent or physical copy sold online. I wish this series would officially release outside to a bigger audience. Playing Sharnoth was really good even though I rarely play VN.

Yes, my baby is kicking up a storm in utero to the point that it really hurts, with the skin stretching and all. I did some googling to see if this is any indication of his personality. No science to back it up, but a lot of personal experiences documented on forums tell me it does. Wild fetus = Wild child. Sadly, these soon-to-be-parents mention how they are "afraid" of an energetic child. This angers me! They should be excited to have an energetic child, and if they don't have an energetic child, they should do everything it takes to encourage being energetic.
Do these parents care about having a child that is going to grow up to be strong, independent and successful? An energetic person is someone who is physically active, speaks up for themselves and won't give up. I want the kid who talks back to me, play all day and explores.
But sadly, these selfish parents seem to want the meek, subservient, pushover types because they just care about making their own lives easier and nothing else really. Yet these children are punished by the same parents when they don't succeed in school or in the real world which require the opposite characteristics. They want to put in as minimal effort as possible in child rearing. The "easier" it is to raise the child, the "better" this "good" kid will be. The more mute, lifeless and agreeable, the better. These are not the parents that have any interest in their children's future. So then why do they bother having kids? These are the lazy selfish parents that just want to use their kids as an accessory for compliments on social media. Or they probably have some disney 1950's vision of what a family should be like. Or they had the kids by accident and try to sustain an easy life for themselves. They are probably the parents whose first choice is to throw their kids in front of a tv to get them out of their hair rather than making them participate in sports and other extra curricular activities.
I'm not entirely sure all the purposes people have for parenting. In my view, parenting should only be about doing what's best for your children and their future. Anything else is foolish and evil.

Kisoro, a rural district in Uganda, is undergoing various transformations which could be
summarized under the term neoliberal development. This qualitative study, which is based on
six weeks of anthropological fieldwork, is focused on how a few individuals working as
motorcycle-taxi drivers in the area experience these transformations, and how they deal with
them. The results indicate that while they tend to describe them as "development", they see
them as constituting an uneven form of development - not beneficial to all, something which,
in their view, makes this development less genuine. It is commonly associated with various
"others"; carried out by and for others, while the informants have to live off the leftovers from
it, were the motorcycle-taxi job is seen as such a leftover; neither enabling much upward - nor
geographical - mobility. In some cases, they feel included in transformations which makes
things worse, so it all constitutes not only a limited, but a somehow distorted development,
and there is nostalgia around better pasts. But simultaneously, many also feel free, and as their
hopes for inclusion in a genuine development erodes while they wait for it, inspiration from
an external world makes them strive for a more individualized prosperity.

Objectives Edit
Speak to Eridan again in a moment.
Description Edit
Using the water of Elune, I will attempt to purify the flute. We must end this suffering... May Elune guide my hands and heart. Speak with me again in a moment.
Reward Edit
Completion Edit
With the blessed water, I was able to break the link between the flute and the ancient spirit. I do believe though, that if you were to use this flute in a sacred spot, you may be able to summon the ancient spirits. Perhaps you might try the ruins in the southern part of Irontree Woods. Many corrupted treants inhabited this area at one time, and it is possible that they may still reside there, even in spirit form.
Gains Edit
Upon completion of this quest you will gain:
- 7900 XP (or 33 at level 70)
Quest progression Edit
- [54] Flute of Xavaric
- [54] Felbound Ancients
- [54] Purified!
- [56] Ancient Spirit

To maintain the authentic look of raw or rinse-washed denim, there are a few simple rules you can follow.
Wash denim inside out in cold water. Avoid tumble dryers and don't use heavy detergents.
Due to the dyes used to create these denims, there may be excess colour remaining in a fabric. You should avoid any contact with light coloured garments, accessories and upholstery.
Try not to wash denim as much as other garments. The indigo dyes will release with wear and in the wash – it's best to preserve the dyes as long as possible. The less indigo lost at the beginning of the lifetime of the jean, the better and richer the wash will look in the long run.
Stretch jeans will grow to accommodate your shape and movements. After each wash they will shrink back to their original shape.
Raw or rinse-washed jeans will shrink half a size after the first few washes. After wearing, these jeans will ease back up to their original size. Mid-level and lighter washed jeans won't shrink as they have already been through a long wash process.

F8 2019 Facebook updates that will help you to rock the Social media world!
Last week, Facebook was hosting its annual F8 conference during which the company announced new updates across Facebook and it`s family apps like Instagram and Messenger. We are happy to tell you the main highlights that you should know. Let's start!
- FACEBOOK: Redesign
As you have probably seen, Facebook has a new design that highlights communities, also known as Facebook Groups. The main changes are:
- The blue bar from the top is changed into white, on desktop and on mobile devices;
- Bigger visuals of communities at the center of the screen;
- New post composer. Now you can share post not only in Newsfeed but also to public or private groups.
- FACEBOOK: Always new News Feed
Google's killer feature was its Page Rank algorithm, which has gone through more changes than the suits you've owned over the years. Users who don't really engage with specific content, yet interact with it (read, view, play) and spend a lot of time, consuming such content. Well, the more time users spend, on a specific post, the more people it will reach.
3. FACEBOOK: Videos over images
The content type on Facebook has been changing all the time. When started with only just text updated and expanded till friends tagging in the pictures, now it is going to pay more attention to videos. In fact, Facebook has prioritized video content on the News Feed, and they aren't going to stop here. The immediate takeaway for marketers is to focus on creating more video content for their fans and also tracking its performance.
- INSTAGRAM: Shop from Creators
The huge update is Shop from Creators, a new option that will facilitate direct buying from specific users and their posts. A new feature allows influencers to include shoppable tags in their posts, rather than using a workaround service like sharing links in their bios. Also, the business will be available to track information about the sales performance of shop from creators feature.
5. INSTAGRAM: Removing numbers of likes
A study conducted in 2017 claims that Instagram is "the worst social media network for mental health and wellbeing" because the platform is blamed for causing the depression. That might be partly the platform's fault, but Instagram wants people to focus on the content rather than getting frustrated over the number of likes their post gets. Based on it, the new focus includes a test removing likes from photos and view counts from videos. These engagement metrics will only be accessible to the account owner — if they tap through — and not to followers.
6. INSTAGRAM: New fundraising options
Given Instagram users tend to be more socially aware, it makes sense for Instagram to add more ways to facilitate such needs. Instagram is also adding an option for users to raise money and awareness for nonprofits they care about via donation stickers in Stories. This option would be available only in the US yet.
7. MESSENGER: New desktop app and "Meet new friends" feature
As Facebook is positioning Messenger as a place to connect daily with friends and family, it will get a desktop version for Mac and Windows that will be live in a few months. Messenger's new tagline is a "modern-day social network built around Messaging".
Also, Facebook's Meet New Friends feature is an opt-in tool that will help users make new friends from shared communities, such as the city you live in or the school you attended.
8. MESSENGER: Communication channel for business
For some time now, customer interactions with businesses online have not been the best. Facebook wants to change that. Users can now get updates on their purchase online and can interact with a customer service representative right from within Messenger. Businesses have always hoped to build one on one relationships with their customers on Facebook, and now they have the opportunity to do so using Messenger.
9. WHATSAPP: Adding products catalog
WhatsApp will introduce product catalogs so that business owners, who use the WhatsApp API or WhatsApp Business app, can show their products to potential customers.
Closing thoughts
We hope it was helpful! With its rapid growth, Facebook is destined to remain one of the key players alongside Google and Microsoft. There's no reason marketers should underestimate this platform just yet – on the contrary, make the best use of the new opportunities it has to offer and take your performance to the next level!
Oh, and as you do so, don`t forget that there are a lot of tools that could help you to do it! One of such is Whatagraph. Track your Facebook Page performance and create super visual Facebook Insights reports with ease. We also have integrations with Facebook Ads and Instagram for an easy social media campaign reporting.

Apparantly it is World Book Day, or at least , that's what my news feed told me earlier and it has been a while since I've confided my thoughts to this website. So, before you're off to the library to celebrate WBD, here is a list of some of my favourite books. Yes, a few comics have been included but in my defence a) last time I checked, theunnamedcomic.net was still there to promote a comic and b) fuck you, it's my list. Anyway, here is my personal and very, very subjective list.
"1984" – George Orwell
Honestly, this is such an iconic book that I find it hard to say anything about it that hasn't been said earlier and much better than I ever could. I could write something about Big Brother, Newspeak adn all that but what moved me the most was how Orwell describes the people's behaviour in a totalitarian regime and the ending… Highly recommended and unfortunately its theme is still very current, even after almost 70 years since its first publication.
"Steppenwolf" – Herman Hesse
This was a recent one but it just blew up in my face. Virtually without any effort, Hesse dissects the struggles of a man torn between his vigourous desires and apollonian manners, a lost sould who desperately tries to be strong. Oh, how he longs, how he yearns to be a force of nature only to be confronted by his weaknesses. In a matter of only a few hundred pages, the main character's psyche is bared open in front of us, using Hesse's superior prose as a sharp scalpel. A sublime read that will render all other expressionist books worthless.
"De Voorstad Groeit" – Louis Paul Boon
No offense if you don't know this one. It is a Belgian title which I believe hasn't even been translated to French. Louis Paul Boon went by as one of the most celebrated Flemish writers and albeit still one of the greats, his archaic style and reputation as a sleazebag have kept him from connecting to the younger generations. Which is a shame because "De Voorstad Groeit", his very first book, is a pessimistic slice of life and a historical document about the earliest cases of gentrification. The title itself means as much as "the suburbs are growing" which was where the working class in Europe lived.
"Rhyme Stew" – Roald Dahl
If you ever have children, do them a huge favour and feed them Roald Dahl. They will be grateful and grow up to successful writers for independent comic books. Do not bother with the modern, neutered works where any mention of sexual desire has been erased. Do not listen to committees of old, wrinly grown ups who decide what your child will like and what not. Just go for "Rhyme Stew". Granted, it is not a popular classic such as "BFG" or "The Fantastic Mr Fox" but this showcases all different sides of Dahl. The book is naughty, cute as a bug and scary, witty and sometimes even cruel, ev'rything that your spawn deems cool.
"De Wijsheid van de Honden" – George Luck (translated Dutch version)
This is a small but noteworthy introduction to the ancient school of "cynicism" and its most famous figures such as Antiphanes, Diogenes and Krates. I'm not entirely done with this one yet but apart from teaching the difference between "cynical" and "pessimist" it has already made me curious about the cynical philosophy. Maybe in this world where we are constantly selling ourself through social media we need cynicism. Maybe not but it is something to think about.
Before I move on to the next book, a quick note to end this. It wouldn't be right to discuss this book without mentioning the translators Gerard Janssen and Goverdien Hauth-Grubben who have done an amazing job.
"The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage" – Sydney Padua
The most recent title on this list but it is such a wonderful book that had my toes curled from delight. Due to Lovelace's shortlived life and Babbage's chaotic project managment there is not really that much to tell but Padua approaches this problem in an original and witty manner by concucting a fictional universe where Lovelace and Babbage have built their analytical engine. Some people refer it to steampunk but the author is insistent on describing the book as "steam irony".
"Ghost In The Shell" – Masamune Shirow
To be completely honest, I am not very big in manga and sometimes struggle with the pace. However, "Ghost In The Shell" is so ridiculously good that I had to include it here. Although not as pessimistic as "Brave New World" and "1984", this still depicts a very somber outlook on the future where mankind and machinery are becoming more and more enthwined.
"Asterix Legionnaire" – Uderzo and Goscinny
In a world where caped lunatics and bimbos in bathing suits dominate the theaters, the shops and the conventions, could we please make time to appreciate the brilliance of the tandem Uderzo and Goscinny? Each album that these two produced is an elabortaed piece of work filled with almost untranslatable word jokes, slapstick, cameos, staging of worldfamous paintings and, despite being a work of fiction, the settings are historically accurate. You can re-read the Asterix-albums several times in your lifetime and still discover new things. I really could have picked any album but this one made me laugh the hardest as a child.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our most common questions are around old stain removal, how long does it take and is it safe to handle.
There are many stain types and environmental situations where Terminator-HSD (T-HSD) will successfully bio-remediate the problem. As T-HSD is a non-chemical product is requires moisture to remain active and effective. Initially T-HSD will draw on the moisture in the stain / spill to quickly multiply the oil munching microbes. T-HSD will continue to work until the unwanted compounds are remediated.
Removing old stains?
Yes, T-HSD concrete and asphalt cleaners will fully remove old stains. However, if the stain has been caked on with layers of oil and grease etc. The top layer will need to be chipped away allowing the microbes access to the pores of the concrete.
How long does it take?
Most stains, even very old ones, are fully remediated within four to six weeks. Some hydraulic fluid stains require additional time as to fully breakdown the hydrocarbon chains.
Is it safe to handle?
T-HSD is a seaweed based product with 4 strands of bacteria (3 are proprietary) bonded to the seaweed. When the microbes are finished with their work they leave a fine sand which is easily disposed. With a net positive environmental gain. See MSDS for PPE.

I am 3 weeks post-op distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy. Tumor was 1.5 cm
stage 1A no spread to lymph nodes or other organs. I had an outstanding
surgeon with 43 years experience and an excellent reputation. I am 63 fit and
active with an excellent recovery. I was up and walking the same day of
surgery and continued to walk everyday. 2 weeks post op I was walking 3
miles/day again. Surgery on a Monday and home by that Thursday morning.
Naturally it was painful to move around post op but every day the pain
improved with meds. When I went home I was able to manage my pain with just
Tylenol for the first week. Meeting with the oncologist today to discuss
treatment plan. Any questions feel free to contact me. Good luck.

Got a case of the Mondays? Leah's advice on how to make the perfect cookie will banish your baking woes! As for those work-related blues, enjoying a delicious treat with someone you love can fix that up in no time.
Unless you're gifted with a Betty Crocker gene, many can attest that baking the softest, fluffiest cookie you've ever seen is no easy feat. Cookies often come out of the oven flat, crispy or slightly burnt – a far cry from the ooey-gooey morsels we love to munch on. Leah offers simple but sound advice on how to yield the ideal batch every time.
My chocolate chip cookies come out flat and crunchy. How do I make the perfect soft and gooey cookie?
- Start with room temperature ingredients. Butter straight out of your fridge will throw your batter off and negatively affect your final product.
- You have to use real ingredients: real butter, real fat, and no substitutes. Once you start adding in low-fat this and artificial-that, you begin to lose the traditional baking experience and its tasty results.
- Check your temperatures. It's basic things like making sure your oven is holding the right temperature with an oven thermometer that make a huge difference. You may think you're baking at 350 degrees, when you're really baking at 315 or 375. Every home should have fridge thermometer and oven thermometer to make sure temperatures are staying where they should.
But what is the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe, you ask? Well, aside from a tried and true recipe passed down from mother to daughter throughout the ages, Alton Brown's Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe holds a special place in Bonnie's heart. We hope these helpful tips have set you in the right direct – one filled with warm, soft cookies and a happy belly!

February 2003
Smile on my face, little fishes swimming around in sporadic clumps of
green with a splash of red…can ya say: "life is good!"
Well as you remember from last month I had finished off making a
riverbank for the Left side of the tank out of cork bark. It was a great
experience to work with the stuff and definitely added a look to my tank
that I had only dreamed about before. Thing was it now left the middle and
right side of the tank bare. I had two pieces of raw cork bark left and
decided to see about creating another smaller version of a riverbank on the
other side of the tank.
First though I had to figure out where I would put my root system, this
was the same root from the old set-up. I fiddled around with the root
placement for a bit utilising that cardboard cutout that I had made (see
last month's instalment for picture). I was running into a bit of a problem.
No matter what I tried, any new configuration with the root always ended up
looking like my previous set-up. This was due to the fact that the root was
so big and the slate it was attached to was large also. It could only fit
into the tank a couple of different ways. The look that I was achieving at
this point was the same as the last set-up but with a riverbank in the
corner now.
This bugged me. I wanted something a little different for this aquascape.
So out came the saw! I cut off one arm of the root system near the base of
the root ball. I then also decided that the piece of slate that the root was
attached to was still to big and would pose the same problem of placement in
the tank unless I adjusted it. Out came the drill and sledgehammer!
When drilling slate, use a concrete bit. If using a dual control drill
(straight drilling and hammer) use the straight drilling setting. If you use
the hammer setting you may end up shattering the slate due to the shocks
sent through it. To split a piece of slate into a smaller piece and you want
some control as to how the piece will split, drill holes all along the split
line. These holes do not have to go through the whole thickness, but should
go through at least half the thickness of the slate. Also the more holes
along the split line the better, again will give you more control where it
will split. Ok so you have drilled the holes now what.
Well there a couple of different ways you can go about this. First and
foremost always wear safety glasses for this procedure, the last thing we
need is to have a small piece of slate bounce up and imbed itself in your
eye. If the piece of slate is large enough take two pieces of 2 x 4 and
place on the floor (not in the living room your spouse will kill you) or any
hard surfaced area like a driveway. Place the slate on the two pieces of 2 x
4 with the smaller piece hanging over the edge of one of the 2 x 4's
unsupported (this piece can be the one you keep it just makes it easier to
have the smaller piece hanging over the edge). Now stand on the larger piece
and with the sledgehammer hit downwards onto the overhanging area and it
should break along your drill hole line.
If the piece of slate is small to begin with you can do the same as above
but clamp the slate to a worktable again with an area that you want to knock
off hanging over the edge of the table.
Or get a stone cutter to do all this for you, or buy a small piece to
begin with heheheheeh.
So with all of that said there I am with the drill and am drilling away.
My piece of slate happens to be 3" thick and at least 2 square feet in size.
I get impatient and decide the hell with it I have enough holes (only three)
I want this tank planted! So I use the standing 2 x 4 method and whack away
at the stone with the sledgehammer. Go figure, what happens but the slate
breaks up not where I wanted but along where it wants to break! I had
already two drill holes in the slate for the screws that held it in place
from before. The slate cracks into about 5 pieces and along a line that
wipes out one of the attachment drill holes I wanted to use again.
Impatience kills hahahah. Ah well, I actually end up with a nice sized piece
that still has one drill hole in it for attachment and I use this piece.
I re attach the slate to the root and start again to fiddle with
placement. Looks great in the other corner so decide to put it there. I am
left with a piece of the root that I had cut off and decide why waste it,
let's see what I can do with it. The main root comes out of the bottom right
hand corner at a nice gentle arc and almost touch's down again in the front
middle of the tank. I take the cut piece and play around with placement near
this area (front middle) and looks great pointing straight up and just
behind the other root. So I decide instead of taking this piece of root,
using another piece of slate and attaching it to that. I am instead going to
attach this small piece to the main root. I drill a couple of holes through
the small root and screw this to the larger root with stainless screws. The
stainless screws are also used to attach the slate to the main root system;
last thing I need is to have rusting screws in the substrate. Mmmmmmmm Mind,
that might be a nice source of iron for the plants mmmmmm.
So looks good so far and I still have that excess cork bark to utilise. I
decide to make another riverbank for the right hand corner just behind and
above the root ball. This time round it is a lot easier to make then the
last one. I design it in such a way that there will be hidden nooks and
crannies between the root and the cork bark wall. This is designed in for my Ancistrus to have more places to choose from to breed in. In the last set-up
there was only one place they could use for this.
Nice to have this part done. Now to the tank! A week before I had removed
all of my potted plants from the tank that I had saved from the last set-up
and also all of the fish. Scrubbed the tank, every square inch of it, and
drained a couple of times and refilled. The day before getting ready for
this step, I had drained the tank fully and had dried it out. At this time
also I had taken the filter off of the tank and placed on the same tank that
now housed the plants.
A siliconing we will go, a siliconing we will go, hi ho a dairy oh, a siliconing we will go…
Well didn't actually take that long at all, about 1 hour and was pretty
easy going. Only because I had the presence of mind to make the template and
get the cork bark fitting as close as it could. I didn't have to use props
at all; the stickiness of the silicone held the cork bark in place all by
itself. Also, as mentioned in the last instalment, I had forgotten to cut in
a hole into the left side riverbank to accommodate my intake hose, I did
this before siliconing. So with that done and four days of waiting for the
silicon to cure off I headed to the local garden centre to get my substrate.
This time round I decided to do a little experimenting with what I was
going to use as my substrate. I had decided that I wanted to try using
potting soil for my lower layer of substrate instead of gravel this time. At
the garden centre there are a lot of potting soils to choose from. If going
this route make sure that you pick a potting soil that has no fertilisers
added. I found one that is all organic had no fertilisers and had peat in
it. At the same time I also picked up a couple of little bags of pure,
long-fibred Sphagnum Moss. I figured I might add some in if at the time of
mixing I felt like it. As in the last set-up I also wanted to add in some
red clay. I picked up a bag of this at my work (teach at a local art
Four days later I was ready to start adding my substrate to the tank. I
put down a nice layer of potting soil into the tank, half of what I was
shooting for, about 1inch at it's lowest to 4 inches at it's highest. I also
filled the in the cavities in back of the cork bark walls, these area's had
the thickest area's, about 10 inches worth of potting soil. After this I
took some of the Sphagnum Moss and cut it up and placed it sporadically on
top of the soil. The red clay I had mentioned was also added at this stage.
In small pieces I also placed it around the whole tank. I then mixed the
whole bunch together gently in the tank. After this was done I put the
remaining half layer of the potting soil overtop. As with the last set-up
the top layer of my substrate would be fine grained quartz silica sand.
All laid out and ready for the water! Off I go and start filling it. I am
still a little concerned as to the weight of the substrate in behind the
cork bark and am hoping that the silicon will hold. I am about halfway
filled and I notice that the water is a lot cloudier then the last time I
had filled a new tank, what's going on?
OH MAN, what an idiot! In my excitement to finally after almost 6 months
of not having my planted tank I had forgotten to rinse the sand! What a NID!
Ah well what was I going to do now, no choice but to keep on filling the
After the tank was full, I took about 4 hrs to plant all of the plants I
had remaining from the last set-up. Quite a few did not make it from the
move and I was sad to see them go. But on the bright side was a blessing in
disguise. For this set-up I had wanted change. I had decided that I was not
going for the "Geographical" look. I wanted to play and just use whatever
plants took my fancy. A friend in the hobby that also has planted tanks had
by chance emailed me and said that he was doing a bit of pruning to his tank
and that if I wanted some of his cut-offs to just let him know. So I found
myself in the possession of some Java Moss (Vesicularia dubyana), some Windelov Java Fern (Microsorum pteropus Windelov) and some Vals.
Cool! One of the things I have always seen and wanted to try was that
Amano style of taking a tree root and having it covered in moss accentuated
with ferns or other plants. So there I was with my hands in the tank in an
awkward position trying to tie down the moss and Java Fern to a couple of
different area's of the root. And yes probably would have been much easier
to do this if the root had been out of water and just used a spray bottle to
keep the plants hydrated. But remember I always have to make things much
more difficult for myself otherwise would not be any fun hahaha. Also I had
to install that cork bark over the slate base of the root, so wouldn't have
been able to do it anyway.
With the tank planted and looking good to my eyes I now let the water
settle. I still had the problem with the cloudy water from me not doing any
rinsing of the sand. Every day for the next couple of days I did a large
water change to get rid of the sediment that would settle on the top layer
of sand. This actually worked and I am happy to say that after a week it is
all gone now.
During the same week I went out and purchased some algae eating shrimp (5
of them), some Otto's (3 of them) and a school of 11 Black Neon's. I also
added two Albino Ancistrus and one Golden Spotted Ancistrus. As luck would
have it I was still hit with green water even though I had not added in any fertilisers to the tank. Seems to be my nemesis every time I do a new
Black out the tank and see if after 4 days it has disappeared…

Oil Spill Response Limited opens base in Brazil
Oil Spill Response Limited (OSRL), the global oil spill response co-operative funded by some 160 oil and energy companies, today announces the opening of a new base in Angra dos Reis, Brazil, marking a major advancement for regional and global response operations.
The base houses one of OSRL's four cutting-edge well capping stack systems designed to shut-in an uncontrolled subsea well. With capping systems also stored at strategic locations in Norway, Singapore and South Africa, the delivery of the Brazil stack signifies the full availability of OSRL's international well capping capability, providing for swift response in the event of a subsea well incident around the world.
Oil and gas companies across the industry can access the equipment through OSRL's Subsea Well Intervention Services (SWIS). SWIS provides subscribers access to four response-ready Capping Stack Systems and two Subsea Incident Response Toolkits for debris clearance, blow out preventer intervention and the subsea application of dispersant at a wellhead. The equipment can be used for the majority of known subsea wells in water depths up to 3000m. A global containment solution to supplement the well intervention system is also in development and will be ready for use by the end of 2014.
SWIS is the culmination of unprecedented industry collaboration. In 2011, nine international oil and gas companies formed the Subsea Well Response Project (SWRP), pooling resources to develop equipment that could enhance subsea well control capability. OSRL collaborated with SWRP to make this equipment available for the benefit of wider industry, and companies can now subscribe to SWIS to incorporate this essential subsea well contingency into their own incident response plans.
Robert Limb, Chief Executive of Oil Spill Response Limited, said: "SWIS represents OSRL's ongoing commitment to provide world class responses to an evolving industry. Our expanding portfolio of subsea services helps our members prepare for, and handle, potential subsea well control incidents on a global scale. Members benefit from international capping capability, supported by OSRL's industry-leading response and preparedness expertise. Our new facility at Angra dos Reis has strategic significance, allowing us to deliver an enhanced service in a region which contains some of the world's largest hydrocarbon reserves. With four Capping Stack Systems, strategically located around the world, OSRL continues to deliver on its mission to enable the most efficient, safe and effective response to oil spills wherever they may occur."
Keith Lewis, Project Manager of the Subsea Well Response Project, said: "The arrival of world-class capping equipment in Brazil is a significant development for subsea well intervention in the region. Following the opening of SWIS bases in Norway, Singapore and South Africa, the inauguration of the Angra base today is the culmination of our work to enhance subsea well intervention capabilities around the world. Through the SWRP and OSRL, many of the world's leading oil and gas companies have shared their expertise and resources for the benefit of the international industry. Our efforts will continue as part of the industry's ongoing commitment to improve safety."

Each week we will be connecting with our contributors showing where they have been, where they are now, and what's up for the future.
Name: Greer Gurland
Title of Piece published in Sweet: Waffles
Issue: 9.1
Find her:
Greer has recently been working for an MFA at Fairleigh Dickinson University, and received awards for her poem collection in Finishing Line Press. She is grateful for connections through Sweet, which prompted the decision for further education. You can find out more about her at www.greergurland.com.
What are some major accomplishments you have had since your Sweet publication?
Since publication of "Waffles" in Sweet, I continue to be grateful for the chance to use writing to connect, and to make sense of the extraordinary but seemingly ordinary moments—large and small—that forge meaning in our lives.
My first collection of poems It just so happens Poems to Read Aloud (Finishing Line Press 2018) just received five Indie Book Awards including Director's Choice Award 2018 Human Relations Life Experiences Book of the Year. This coming year, new work of mine is forthcoming in Silver Needle and The St. Petersburg Review. A conversation with poet Olivia Pride about Silver Needle will air shortly.
Being embraced by the Sweet community made me hungry for even more conversations. I decided to pursue an MFA. I am honored to be the recipient of the Baumeister Award at Fairleigh Dickinson where I am working toward an MFA in poetry. I am grateful to my mentors Jeffrey Allen, Renee Ashley, and Harvey Hix.
Can you tell us about a current/ongoing project that you're excited about?
I am working on a poetry collection, tentatively titled "heavy for its weight." I also have an essay project that I keep meaning to return to.
Who is your favorite author?
Marie Howe feeds me. I had the privilege of meeting with her recently. I reached out to her. I just had to see how she walks through the world, feeling and thinking as sensitively as she does. Her authenticity and openness are, in person, what they are in her poetry. I think we writers very much need people like that who care to inspire and support those of us who share the struggle to "deepen in the place of poetry", as she puts it.
What inspires you to write?
What is your favorite sweet?
My favorite sweet remains the brownie—and the recipe I make is an Alton Brown original. I've written it into our family recipe book, replete with pictures of my kids getting messy with me. Here's the link to the original recipe. I use two cups of flour.
Thank you, Greer, for taking the time to reconnect with us. We look forward to seeing more of your work in the future!

Demi Moore goes the memoir route
When news of a Demi Moore book deal hit the blogosphere in May, the actress' rep denied the memoir rumors. Three weeks later, though, she's changed her tune: HarperCollins announced in a press release that Moore sold them a "candid narrative" that would focus on her relationship with her mother, Virginia King, and her three daughters with Bruce Willis According to Galleycat, HarperCollins acquired the book for $2 million.
Sure, Mrs. Kutcher's tweets may not seem promising, but her hard-scrabble childhood, rise to Hollywood royalty, nude Vanity Fair cover shoots, and high-profile relationships could make for good celeb memoir fodder. What do you think, Shelf Lifers? Will you be buying a Moore memoir in two years or not? And what part of the actress' past are you most interested in reading?

Buick Parts - Are OEM Parts Really Better?
The truthful answer is that it depends on the company that you are looking at to possibly give you an aftermarket part. The quality of aftermarket parts can vary wildly from a company from to another company and you have to make sure that you do your research before you fully engage in getting that part. You may make a mistake that you regret otherwise.You could potentially damage your vehicle when all you wanted to do is fix it.
For example, the writer of this article bought a non-OEM charger for their Apple laptop. The charger actually came apart and now will not charge properly without sparking when reattaching the piece so that the laptop can charge. Not only is it a risk to the computer but it is a risk to the person as well. The same could be true of your vehicle. If you use a non-OEM part without specifically researching the company that is providing the part then you could have a similar problem but much worse depending on where the part is located or what it is supposed to do. We all know, in the back of our minds, that we should be using OEM parts. But, the fact remains that aftermarket parts can be cheaper at times, however, they can cause more problems than they are worth as evidenced by the laptop charger.
