National Sandwich Day may fall on November 3, but sandwiches are surely most honored on the days following Thanksgiving, when everyone's fridge is loaded with amazing seasonal fixings, particularly if you think to cook or buy enough for leftovers. Note to self: make plenty.
Should you sit down to Thanksgiving dinner mid-day, by bedtime you'll need a tide-me-over to breakfast. My favorite under these circumstances has always been the antidote to the feast – simply Roasted Turkey or Fried Turkey Breast on thin-sliced sandwich bread. Still have a bit of Thanksgiving ambition in you? Add a swipe of Blue Cheese-Chive Butter. That should do for a sandwich nightcap.
On the Friday after Thanksgiving, reprise the groaning board with a customized gobbler – Sausage/ Stuffing and the Cranberry Relish are a triple threat. I like a little warm gravy on the side for dipping – the American dip, so to speak, which ought to be a classic.
Day three, the Saturday following Thanksgiving, and you are, undoubtedly a little tired of turkey. Let's hope the Macaroni and Cheese was one of your Thanksgiving sides. Hey, how about a grilled macaroni and cheese sandwich? It's a thing, you know, and for good reason. Two nice slices of bread, both buttered on one side, a thick slab of mac-and-cheese in the middle, and grill away. A little bit of ham if you've got it, would not gild the lily.
And finally, to top off the weekend, turkey or ham biscuits are in order for Sunday brunch or lunch. That and a long afternoon nap should segue you comfortably into the post-holiday weekdays. Week days that will, if you are lucky, be punctuated by a few more turkey sandwich lunches!

"As Seen on CBS Morning News," Smith Island Cakes....
Accessible only by boat, Smith Island, Maryland, is a fishing village located ten miles offshore in the Chesapeake Bay. Years of limits on crabbing and oyster harvesting restricted the work of watermen, the main source of income on the island. Little did they know a cake originally made in the 1800's for oysterman by their wives would provide a much-needed economic boost to the island. Comprised of at least eight impossibly thin layers, bakers used fudge for the icing which lasts longer than other icing recipes of the time. Each cake is handmade with recipes passed from generation to generation. And so the Smith Island Cake was born.
In 2008, Maryland named the Smith Island Cake its official State Dessert. "Florida has the key lime pie, Massachusetts has the Boston cream pie and Maryland has the Smith Island cake," said D. Page Elmore, who represents the rural lower Eastern Shore. "This is a source of revenue for them — and a source of pride." The Chesapeake Bay Crab Cakes & More catalog began featuring the Smith Island Cake in 2007, sending trucks to meet the ferry from Smith Island and transport the cakes back to a warehouse outside of Baltimore for shipment to customers nationwide. In 2010, Mackenzie began featuring a new flavor of the Smith Island Cake, titled the Devilish Cake. Today, our catalog features four flavors of the cake including Traditional, Devilish, Spice, and Lemon (see links below).
Traditional: https://www.mackenzieltd.com/smith-island-cake
Devilish: https://www.mackenzieltd.com/devilish-cake

We come across heroes in our everyday lives but often fail to recognize them. Let us take a look at some of the top unlikely heroes of the decade gone by.
A gunman came to the Waffle House which is near Nashville. This happened on the morning of April 22nd, 2018. Shaw had no desire to be a hero at that point of time. All he wanted to do was survive.
He moved towards the bathroom after first few bullets were fired. He saw no escape in sight. The shooter momentarily pointed his AR-15 towards the ground. Shaw rushed to the shooter and grabbed his rifle. He saved many lives in the process, but suffered from bullet graze wound and burns.
Brad Brown came across as an unlikely hero in 2018 Californian wild forest fires. This was the most destructive Californian wild forest fire in past 168 years. While firefighters were the heroes, so were the untrained citizens who risked their own lives to save others'.
Brad Brown is a hospital chaplain in Paradise, Calif. There was an evacuation in progress when Brown arrived at work, and he helped with the same. When ambulances were full, he loaded 3 patients from ICU into his own vehicle, maneuvering the vehicle for hours to safety, through fire ridden paths.
The patients required care and Brown decided to drive his vehicle through a wall of fire to safety at one point of time. He saw no point in turning back.
On April 17th, 2018, an engine of the Soutwest Airlines exploded. Lives of all those present on flight 1380 were in the hands of Tammie Jo Shultz.
Before Shults became a commercial pilot, she used to be one of the first female fighter pilots in the US Navy.
Even through the drastic circumstances, Shults kept her cool and returned 143 passengers aboard on Boeing 737 to earth.
The aircraft was merely 20 minutes into the flight when engine failure occurred. Fragments of the engine flew past the plane, and broke a passenger window. The passenger next to the window, Jennifer Riordan succumbed to injuries. Since 2009, this was the only casualty involving a commercial U.S.-registered passenger air carrier.

Putting your dealership's best foot forward starts before customers ever arrive on the lot. With critical decisions about which vehicles and dealerships to consider happening online and on mobile devices in the weeks and months prior to purchase, every detail matters – especially when communicating your dealership's culture and value.
With that, we're excited to share that, starting today, Independent dealerships on Cars.com will be provided a designated Dealer Profile Page, a dealership-specific page in which they can share photos videos, feature Dealer Reviews and highlight their dealership's "why buy" message to prospective customers. Whether you work with a Franchise dealership or an Independent lot, you've now got the tools promote your dealership through rich, store-level content.
To get started, log into MyDealerCenter and select the "Dealer Profile" link from the "Admin" tab. Once you're there, use these tips to create a best-in-class profile that'll help your dealership stand out from the crowd.
Contact Information
- When is your dealership open? Who's the best person to contact for used-car sales? Use the provided fields to share the hours of operation and contact information for your dealership.
Photos and Video
- Do you have quality photos of your dealership, your staff or local community events your store has participated in? Use them to show off your store's unique personality and give shoppers a sense of what it'll be like if they choose to work with your dealership. (Note: photos should be 624 pixels wide by 416 pixels tall for optimal resolution)
- Much like photos, a video can help give personality to your store online. Grab the URL from one of your dealership's YouTube videos or create a new one using your laptop's webcam to get going, just be sure you're highlighting the dealership as a whole, not a single unit of inventory.
About the Dealership
- Does your dealership have a unique history? What's your specialty, and what value do you provide to customers? What can car shoppers expect if they choose to do business with you? Seek to answer these types of questions in a short 200-400 word paragraph (or two) about your dealership. You may even be able to borrow copy from the "About Us" section of your website.
Dealer Reviews
- Have others shared positive Dealer Reviews about your store recently? Once you've filled out all the "Dealer Profile" fields, hop over to the "Reviews" tab in MyDealerCenter to a select a review to feature on your Profile Page. If you haven't already, also make sure to respond to the review you're highlighting and thank the customer for sharing his or her feedback.
After you've knocked out all of the new Dealer Profile content areas, jump over to the Cars.com Dealer Locator to view your page and make any necessary adjustments. Updates should be reflected on Cars.com within 30 minutes of making them in MyDealerCenter.
Still have questions or need a hand updating your store's Dealer Profile Page? Reach out to your local Cars.com rep or drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Do you know someone interested in discovering their family history?
You can now buy a gift subscription to Genes Reunited so they can research their family tree.
Parents slang it up, init! thx 2 the kids
- Almost three-quarters (71%) of parents learning the latest slang from their children
- 60-somethings: the 'Wicked' generation
- 50-somethings having a 'gnarly' time
- Over a third (34%) feel youth culture has a detrimental effect on today's society
Parents are increasingly picking up new words to add to their vocabulary, as seven in 10 (71%) parents are currently learning the latest slang from their children, according to research from leading family history website Genes Reunited.
The research, which looks at what parents are learning from their children and current youth culture, shows that slang and text speak are becoming even more the norm with adults. The slang word 'wicked' was the most commonly used with over half (52%) adopting it. Other popular slang words that are being taught to the older generation include*:
- Wicked - very; really; totally cool: 'That shirt is wicked'
- Sweet - good; profitable; excellent: 'I got involved in a sweet deal'
- Sick - to be outclassed: 'looks sick'
- Init - Abbreviation of is not it (isn't)
- Safe - excellent: 'That's safe mate'
Different generations of adults appear to prefer different slang words, for example the most popular word for 60 to 70 year olds is 'wicked', whereas for those in their fifties 'gnarly' (slang term for something extreme, used in bad and good context**) is the new cool word. The latest 'buzzword' for the 40-somethings is different again, with the slang term 'boi' (meaning a young, handsome guy**) finding its way into the prose with 56 per cent having learnt it from their children.
Wot Txt Spk?
It's not just slang that adults are picking up from their children as text speak is becoming common among adults. The most popular abbreviations for the older generation are:
- LOL - Laugh out loud
- U - You
- UR - Your
- 2 - To / too
- Omit letters - e.g. spk - speak, thx - thanks
Despite parents getting to grips with text speak, only half (49%) will accept their children texting them in this way and will always reply in good English. Surprisingly, 29 per cent of parents have embraced it and actually reply in text speak. Only 5 per cent claim to discourage text speak from their children and over a tenth (12%) do not text or email their children at all.
P's & Q's
The survey, which also looked at adults' perception of youth culture, shows that over a third of adults (34%) believe that youth culture today is having a detrimental effect on children in terms of manners, respect and social behaviour. Southerners believe that it is youth culture that has had the most (32%) detrimental effect compared to just 10 per cent of those in the Midlands. The research also found that 62 per cent of Britain's adults felt that teenagers today are more rebellious than anything they experienced as children.
Rhoda Breakell, head of Genes Reunited, comments: "British slang has a long history in England, it is said that it can be traced back to Shakespeare and Chaucer, the most famous slang of all being Cockney rhyming slang. "The results of this research shows that slang, in speech or text form, will continue to be passed down through the generations. The conversations we're having now with our children, and the vocabulary that we're using, will be the literary stamp of our generation. I wonder what future generations will make of it? Using a site like Genes Reunited you can discover similarities between different generations of your family, which is a fun and easy way to get into family history."
Notes to Editors:
Genes Reunited carried out a survey on 1,117 UK representatives on December 2010

Network, out now
The Alphans are delighted when it seems as if there's finally a way home…
The second season of Space: 1999 has a very bad reputation. Behind the scenes turmoil meant that the show was left in the hands of Fred Freiberger – the man who supposedly thought that "Luton" was a strange and alien name and insisted on its use in an episode, and who had already overseen the less well-received third year of Star Trek. The introduction of "metamorph" Maya; the loss of Barry Morse's voice of sanity, Victor Bergman; and Prentis Hancock's replacement by Tony Anholt all took away from what had made the show work in its first year.
There were some high points – one of Terrance Dicks' rare TV SF screenplays outside Doctor Who; and this two-parter, which begins with Martin Landau's John Koenig apparently high on drugs as he careers around in an Eagle near a dangerous part of the moon. Terence Feely's script gives all the lead characters plenty to do, occasionally taking them outside the comfort zone that they are caught in during most episodes, and director Tom Clegg throws everything at the screen, with some very effective action sequences. There are some weird continuity errors, particularly in the second half – Barbara Bain must have got the date wrong at the start of that episode; 600 days haven't elapsed since Koenig's joyride – and one of my favourite "bad science" lines when it appears as if there are nuclear physicists just hanging around Command Centre waiting to head off to potential accidents!
To see how much work has been done on these episodes take a look at the footage in the trailer for Destination Moonbase-Alpha, the TV movie prepared from the episodes, or even the movie itself, presented as an extra on the disc. Rather like with the omnibus versions of Doctor Who stories which are included on the DVDs in their unrestored state, you can see and hear the many differences. It's worth watching the first few minutes of Destination Moonbase-Alpha for the… interesting way in which the series is repackaged. What year is it, for example? 2100, or some point in the 21st century? The scroll at the start is clearly meant to appeal to the Star Wars generation but only serves to muddy the waters further.
As a taster for the quality of the restoration of the second series of Space 1999, this is an excellent choice – but there will always only be so far you can make a silk purse…
Verdict: One of the second series' best stories given great treatment. 7/10

I love a play on words, and when I found an illustration of this little warrior, I just had to have a go and see if I could replicate him!
I felt I had succeeded pretty well and enjoyed the problem solving of - how to make his forehead high enough to actually fit the helmet on.
- how to make the body rotund, yet wide enough/tall enough to fit all his gear on.
- how to make the 'bread' out of cloth
- howto make the feet/boots
- how to make the horns from fabric
The Bread is made from Quilters muslin.
I love that he stands so upright and filmy on his feet. I felt this design is well balanced and I have almost finished making the pattern for him!
This doll sold within a week of being made!

Freedom of Speech does not mean you get to say whatever you want in a letters column (print or digital). The freedom also extends to the keeper of that "page,'' to edit as needed.
If Facebook makes even a modest improvement, I'm in favor of it. A good move.

Perhaps Jim ought to make every contributor here name themselves AND their Gannett affiliation. Just to eliminate comments about Karen C. It's only fair, right?
Every post on this blog is a valuable piece of the Gannett puzzle, from the dumbest comment to most erudite argument. The tone of a post is nearly as valuable as the actual information, or lack thereof. And don't tell me this site is different than that of a newspaper, because it is not. It exists to inform and make a profit.

Furloughs announcement happening the same week as the United Way campaign at my site. We're required to turn in our United Way form letters with our names on them whether we choose to participate or not. Wonder how many people not donating to the United Way will be on a layoff list later in the year?ReplyDelete

USA TODAY not good...ReplyDelete
"And who was the loser?
USA Today was the least trusted brand among both consumers and local service professionals, decreasing consumer signups by 25% and local service professional signups by 13%.
USA Today is the second-most popular newspaper by circulation in the U.S. – and it has more revenue than Google does in the U.S..
But placing USA Today's logo on our site actually decreased conversions significantly.
These results were measured across 15,000 visitors to our site.
Takeaway: Placing press logos on your site isn't a guaranteed winner.
We were amazed at the difference in trust among brands between the two groups of people.
The consumers on Thumbtack tend towards the high-income, female, and shopper demographics. These people seem to love their New York Times and their Washington Post – and not their Wall Street Journal.
Conversely, the service professionals on Thumbtack tend towards the middle-income, blue-collar, entrepreneur demographics. These people seem to respect the Wall Street Journal a lot – and actively distrust the New York Times.
As for USA Today? We have no idea why this hugely popular newspaper would have decreased conversions across the board. Your guess is as good as ours.
Whatever the reasons, our tests showed that press logos can increase conversions – but certainly not always. Whether adding press logos to your site increases conversions depends on which logos you're adding and what kind of audience visits your site."
Anyone really think that USA TODAY has more revenue than Google in the U.S.?
Does this type of analysis give anyone cause for concern? Stuff like this can move around the web pretty quickly.

To: All US Community Publishing (USCP) and Gannett Publishing Services (GPS) employees
From: USCP President Bob Dickey and GPS President Evan Ray
This year we've made great strides in enhancing the ways we meet the needs of our consumers and business customers. We continue to adapt, evolve and redefine who we are and what we do to help propel the company forward. It is greatly appreciated by the entire management team.
However, we are all acutely aware the economy is not improving as quickly or as strongly as we wish and companies across America, and globally too, have had to respond to a difficult economic environment.
We need to continue managing costs and lowering expenses to align with revenue and invest in future growth opportunities. While USCP has been successful in finding new digital opportunities and building digital revenue – which has been one of our primary goals -- this growth has not offset lagging revenue from some of our more traditional USCP advertisers. Those advertisers remain good, loyal customers of ours but their businesses are under pressure because of the economy and they have continued to reduce their spending.
Because of these challenges, USCP and GPS will institute furloughs generally beginning first quarter of 2012, ending Sunday, March 25. A small number of sites will have a different furlough calendar because of the seasonality of their markets.
Furloughs are difficult and Gannett's management team does not take this action lightly. All of Gannett's divisions are approaching these economic challenges in their own ways. Furloughs – however – are the best option for USCP and GPS to help manage their costs in this uncertain business climate and to help us mitigate other cost reduction strategies.
The furloughs will impact most USCP and GPS employees. However there is a minimum salary level set for implementation. Your supervisor or Human Resources partner will notify you if you will be impacted by this furlough. We are letting you know as quickly as the decision was made so that you can make plans as needed.
USCP and GPS employees in certain income brackets will be furloughed for five business days during the specified furlough time period. Exempt, salaried employees in certain income brackets must take one full payroll week within the pay period. Sales people and non-exempt, hourly employees in certain income brackets will also take five days at any pre-approved time – although the days do not need to be consecutive. The attached FAQ should answer questions you may have.
We appreciate that everyone at the local level is focused on driving top line revenue growth. Please continue to support these efforts anyway you can. Your efforts are reshaping our division, our industry and our company as we steer through challenging times. Keep up the good work and we'll keep building the future of our business together.
As always, please feel free to email us with any questions or ideas.
Bob (firstname.lastname@example.com) and Evan (email@example.com)

Wow, the Gannett execs are getting so great at crying poverty that I'm expecting to see them wearing rags to the office. But if Gannett is so poor, where did it find the money to build a game room on the second floor of the USAT headquarters? For those who haven't had a tour lately, the photo/design desks/cubicles have been replaced by leather couches, a wood floor (dancing, anyone?), a pool table, foosball table, ping pong table, and air hockey. There's a beer fridge, and a wall has been cut out to form a bar. Maybe this is all part of some TV remodeling special, because the construction workers have been busy upstairs, as well. They've taken over the book room and kicked the Opinion section out of their offices in order to carve out fancy new offices for the new VPs and GMs. Is this how they're using all the money they save by forcing employees to take furloughs?ReplyDelete

Yeah, the steely facts speak volumes: USAT is on the outs with readers, circulation has been slipping fast for 2 years, and advertising is at lowest point in 15 years (oh yes it is). And digital ain't gonna ever pay the bills. Never ever. Never ever never.ReplyDelete
And believe it, as goes USAT, so goes Gone-nett. The one and only national brand Gone-nett has is being poached and liquidated by banal corporate idiocracy. Verticals are never ever never going to work either. Boneheaded management listening to inexperienced wannabees.
And hiring 108 in Indy is like painting the walls on a house that is burning down -- too little, too late. Indy. Really?
My money says in 2-3 years Gone-nett will merely be a commercial real estate holding firm with all current content assets diluted by ubiquitous and instant digital information from all points.

Sounds like in Des Moines and their subsidiaries, layoffs may still be on the horizon: (via the L.H. FAQ) "It is important to note that as we continue to consolidate some operations to achieve greater efficiencies there will be some position eliminations as our normal course of business but that is different than a division-wide layoff."ReplyDelete

Plano, TX Named One of 2016's Top Cities for Families
Thursday October 6, 2016
Being Plano homebuilders, CB JENI Homes is ecstatic to announce that in a recent WalletHub study, Plano, Texas was named one of 2016's top cities for families! Plano was ranked third out of the 150 U.S. cities that were analyzed. Here are the areas where Plano ranked the highest!
(Image via plano.gov)
Highest Median Family Salary
Ranking behind Scottsdale, AZ, Plano, Texas had the second highest median family salary. This is partially due to all the new big businesses that are beginning to set up headquarters in Plano such as Frito-Lay, Dr. Pepper Snapple Group Inc. and the much-anticipated Toyota plant.
Most Affordable Housing
Homes and townhomes in Plano, TX give you the most for your money. That's why Plano was ranked number one for most affordable housing! And CB JENI Homes is one of the Plano homebuilders that builds in two communities located in this city! There's Villas at Los Rios and the coming soon Heritage Creekside.
Lowest Divorce Rate
With the lowest divorce rate of cities studied in Texas and fifth lowest overall, Plano, TX is a great place to raise a family. Studies have shown time and time again that financial stress is the biggest caused to failed marriages. However, since Plano has high-paying jobs and low cost, quality living, couples can find their dream home without breaking the bank. This all adds up to being able to have a less stressful marriage in an environment that's conducive to raising a family.
Health and Safety
Plano, TX ranked fourth in overall health and safety! This ranking was determined by air quality, water quality, public hospitals ranking, violent-crime rate per capita and property-crime rate per capita.
Socioeconomic Environment
As for the socioeconomic environment ranking, Plano was third. To determine this ranking, WalletHub looked at separation & divorce rate, the percentage of two-parent families, the percentage of families living below the poverty line, unemployment rate and more.
If you're looking to make the move to Plano, Texas, now's the time! CB JENI Homes' townhomes in Plano start from the $250's and offer open floor plans in wonderful locations. Contact us today for more information!

Lead vocalist
Demo: Peacock Grove, Gorton, Manchester, circa. 1988/9
Also known as
'Have Fun!!'
Other info
A short clip of the track was first broadcast on UK TV on a report on the auction made by Reuters Television on the 30th April 1998, and which was broadcast on Channel 4's 'The Big Breakfast' and possibly other channels on the same date, the date of the auction.
Demo: http://www.savefile.com/files/25479
Handwritten lyrics: http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/monobrowdemo/havefun.jpg
NME (Spring 1998):
Starts off acoustically and sounds a bit like The Beatles' 'Bungalow Bill'. There are also echoes of 'All Around The World' as Noel sings, "Do you ever see the light/Did you feel last night/Did you see the time of day ticking away did you say there would be a better day". Of all the tracks on the cassette this is the closest to the songs on 'Be Here Now'.
Record Collector (March 1998):
Someone once described Noel's lyrics as "familar phrases strung together until they no longer have a meaning", and that's a perfect description of this optimistic, anthemic number. Nothing else here is as openly influenced by the Smiths, but only in terms of sound: it's difficult to imagine Morrissey intoning lines like "Keep believing in yourself, only you can help yourself, you've gotta have fun" with his tongue anywhere but in his cheek.
Elsewhere in the Gallagher catalogue, a phrase like "I know what you're thinking" might be a threat (in the tradition of Sting's "Every Breath You Take") but her it's clearly compassionate, addressed to a kindred spirit of the wounded heart.

Intel Atom vs. VIA Nano Platform Comparo (Page 5)
Test System
Memory: 2x 1GB DDR2-1186MHz Geil (Supplied by Geil) and 1x 2GB DDR2 Generic
Hard Disk: 500GB Western Digital SE16 (Supplied by Western Digital)
Graphics Card: GIGABYTE 9800GX2 (Supplied by GIGABYTE) and IGPs
Operating System: Microsoft Windows Vista SP1
Drivers: Intel INF Beta, VIA Hyperion, Forceware 175.16
Today's tests consist of two different setups. First off, we have our Atom test bed using a single 2GB generic 800MHz memory module. Next, we have the VIA Nano running 2x1GB modules in dual channel to make up the same 2GB.
All systems were tested with the IGPs running the maximum amount of system memory to the IGP. And just for fun, we threw the 9800 GX2 on the Nano platform to see what it is capable of.
EVEREST Ultimate Edition
Version and / or Patch Used: 2006

Product Homepage: http://www.lavalys.com
EVEREST Ultimate Edition is an industry leading system diagnostics and benchmarking solution for enthusiasts PC users, based on the award-winning EVEREST Technology. During system optimizations and tweaking it provides essential system and overclock information, advanced hardware monitoring and diagnostics capabilities to check the effects of the applied settings. CPU, FPU and memory benchmarks are available to measure the actual system performance and compare it to previous states or other systems.
Starting on memory performance, we get a look at just how well the Atom and Nano process memory bandwidth. VIA's dual channel approach allows it to get quite a bit more memory bandwidth than Atom which is stuck using single channel. This can be rectified by Intel allowing the second channel on the 945GM chipset. However, this isn't going to happen any time soon.
Using the discrete graphics option on the Nano allows for better memory performance, as all the memory is available for CPU usage and isn't being shared with the IGP.

Food security summit for 100 global young leaders kicks off in Brussels
Nurturing global change agents
Food security summit for 100 global young leaders kicks off in Brussels
- Youth Ag-Summit takes place from 9-13 October 2017
- Goal is to generate concrete solutions for sustainable agriculture worldwide
- Three delegate groups will receive funding from Bayer to implement their ideas
Monheim/Brussels, October 9, 2017 – Today marks the kick-off of the 3rd edition of the Youth Ag-Summit, with 100 bright young talents from around the world arriving in Brussels, Belgium, to tackle one of humanity's biggest challenges: how to feed a growing population in a more sustainable manner. Organized by Bayer, together with the two Belgian young farmers associations Groene Kring (GK) and Fédération des Jeunes Agriculteurs (FJA), the summit aims to address the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end hunger, achieve food security, and promote sustainable agriculture.
Over the next four days, the delegates from 49 countries – who range from age 18 to 25 – will work together to generate innovative, sustainable and actionable solutions to global food security challenges. Their mission is to come up with concrete new ideas which can drive agricultural progress across the globe and be put into practice back home.
"For the UN SDGs to be reached, everyone needs to do their part. By inspiring our youth to advocate for science and sustainable agriculture, we hope to tap into the creativity of great young minds to help solve a major societal challenge," said Liam Condon, member of the Board of Management of Bayer AG and president of the Crop Science Division. "The Youth Ag-Summit is always a hotbed of enthusiasm, creative thinking, and innovation – I look forward to seeing what projects will emerge this year."
This year, Youth Ag-Summit delegates will hear from expert and inspirational speakers including Professor Louise O. Fresco, President of Wageningen University & Research, Caleb Harper, Director of Open Agriculture (OpenAG) initiative, MIT Media Lab, Hugh Evans, CEO of Global Citizen and many more.
As well as talks designed to spark their creativity, delegates will have the opportunity to tour the EU institutions and meet with European policymakers, visit one of Bayer's innovative sustainable farming sites, and gain real-world insights into sustainability in action from companies and organisations such as Rabobank, CropTrust, Thought for Food, BioBest, International Society for Horticultural Science, VIB – Flemish Institute for Biotech, Inagro, University Ghent and Ahold Delhaize Group.
Speaking about the partnership with Bayer, national chairman of Groene Kring, Giel Boey, said: "We are very pleased to co-host this event, which gives young people the chance to collaborate and act on solutions for sustainable agriculture – rather than just thinking, they will be DOING."
"We need to restore the connection between those who produce our food and those who consume it. We're proud to be this year's co-host and are certain that the delegates' work will have a positive impact in their communities and beyond," added Guillaume Van Binst, secretary general of the Fédération des Jeunes Agriculteurs.
Throughout the week, delegates will work to develop "Thrive for Change Projects"; concrete ideas to help achieve the UN SDGs in their communities and countries. Following a pitch process, the strongest ideas will be selected for future funding and development by Bayer.
Sophie Healy-Thow, a delegate from Ireland says "I'm so excited to be participating in this year's summit, and to meet 99 other like-minded people who are as passionate as me about addressing food security. I'm headed to the summit with the aim of sharing solutions, ideas and perspectives on one of the world's most pressing challenges, and of joining a network of young people committed to creating lasting change where it is really needed."

About the Youth Ag-Summit
The Youth Ag-Summit is a global bi-annual conference designed to inspire and connect the next generation of young leaders in agriculture and related disciplines. In 2017, 100 young leaders aged 18 to 25 will meet in Brussels, Belgium, to create an open dialogue on one of the world's most challenging questions: how to feed a growing population in a sustainable manner? Following previous editions hosted in Canada and Australia, this year's Summit is the first to be held in a European city. The Youth Ag-Summit is part of Bayer's Agricultural Education Program which aims to raise global awareness about farming and food supplies. This year's delegates hail from 49 countries: Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh, Belgium, Bolivia, Botswana, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Denmark, Ecuador, El Salvador, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Guatemala, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Lithuania, Malaysia, Nepal, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Paraguay, Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Tanzania, Thailand, Turkey, Uganda, Ukraine, United Kingdom, USA, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe.

Why we are now learning Chinese…..
Wèishéme wǒmen xiànzài zhèngzài xuéxí zhōngwén…
It is a well known fact that Mandarin is the most widely spoken language worldwide. Here are some more interesting facts:
- China is one of the world's oldest and richest continuous cultures, over 5000 years old.
- China is the most populous nation in the world, with 1.28 billion people.
- One fifth of the planet speaks Chinese. Mandarin Chinese is the mother tongue of over 873 million people, making it the most widely spoken first language in the world.
- International businesses prefer to hire people who speak more than one language. China has become a huge market, and business leaders are looking for people who can speak Chinese and operate successfully in a Chinese cultural context.
- China will play a major role in world affairs in the future. As China now has opened up to the West, there are opportunities for employment in all areas.
- In addition to the People's Republic of China and Taiwan, Mandarin Chinese is also spoken in the important and influential Chinese communities of Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, the Philippines, and Mongolia.
- China is the second largest economy in the world.
The study of the Chinese language opens the way to different important fields such as Chinese economy, history or archaeology. But to study Chinese finally means to study a culture, a people. At the heart of Chinese civilization is its rich heritage of novels, short stories, poetry, drama, and, more recently, film. They reflect the values, the struggles, the sensibility, the joys and the sorrows of this great people and often offer insights even into the most intimate feelings of people. These works help you understand what is behind the language, what makes it powerful, and how it actually functions in Chinese society. To be at ease and effective in a Chinese environment learning the language is half the battle, but knowing about the culture behind the language is the other.
Some surprising facts……..
Chinese has a relatively uncomplicated grammar. Unlike French, German or English, Chinese has no verb conjugation (no need to memorize verb tenses!) and no noun declension (e.g., gender and number distinctions). For example, while someone learning English has to learn different verb forms like "see/saw/seen," all you need to do in Chinese is just to remember one word: kan. While in English you have to distinguish between "cat" and "cats," in Chinese there is only one form: mao. (Chinese conveys these distinctions of tense and number in other ways, of course.)
The basic word order of Chinese is subject — verb — object, exactly as in English. A large number of the key terms of Mandarin Chinese (such as the terms for state, health, science, party, inflation, and even literature) have been formed as translations of English concepts. You are entering a different culture, but the content of many of the modern key concepts is familiar.
Currently Mandarin Chinese is spoken by over 1 billion people around the world, about one fifth of the global population;
Each year more and more students around the world whose mother tongue is not Mandarin are studying it with enthusiasm and success. If they all can learn it, so can your child!
We are very excited to have Mrs Anna Chan as our Chinese language teacher.

Waino, Cards party like it's 2006
ST. LOUIS — No doubt, Adam Wainwright was motivated by a pregame ceremony to honor the 2006 World Series champions.
The 6-foot-7 right-hander got the final out that season as the Cardinals' stand-in closer — and finished what he started Saturday night by pitching a three-hitter as St. Louis cruised to a 5-0 victory over the Miami Marlins.
Wainwright and catcher Yadier Molina are the only two remaining Cardinals players from the 2006 title team. Former manager Tony La Russa had texted Wainwright jokingly suggesting that the pitcher petition skipper Mike Matheny to work the ninth on Saturday.
"He didn't know I was starting and when I saw him for the picture, I said, 'I'm probably going to ask him once the ninth rolls around if I can keep going,'" Wainwright said.
Wainwright had thrown 108 pitches through eight innings and asked Matheny: "Just give me 10 pitches." Wainwright needed only a dozen to retire the side in order.
Jhonny Peralta homered and Stephen Piscotty had two hits, a walk and two RBIs for St. Louis.
Wainwright (9-5) struck out five with two walks and didn't allow a hit until Adeiny Hechavarria doubled to open the sixth inning. The team's longtime ace received a standing ovation in the eighth before striking out for the fourth straight time.
The only other time he fanned four times, Wainwright shut out the Rockies on May 11, 2013.
"Usually you get behind and guys want to make something happen and start trying to create things," Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. "It seemed like he used that aggressiveness against us."
Wainwright is 3-0 with a 0.39 ERA in three starts this month. The shutout was his first since Sept. 17, 2014, against the Brewers, and his 22nd career complete game.
He missed virtually all of the 2015 season with a ruptured left Achilles and had a 5.71 ERA after the first two months. Now it's down to 4.15.
"The start I had was a disaster, so it's cool to be back pitching pretty good again and not the laughingstock of the baseball world anymore," Wainwright said.
Matt Adams hit an RBI single in a four-run third, following Piscotty's two-run double and an RBI double by Randal Grichuk.
After blowing two late leads in the series opener Friday night, St. Louis improved to 20-27 at home.
The Cardinals were flawless on defense a night after committing at least three costly miscues, among them their major league-leading 69th error. Matt Holliday, shaky at first base in the opener, didn't play.
The highlight for Miami was a pair of diving catches by right fielder Giancarlo Stanton, the first robbing Adams of a two-run double to end the first and the second denying Aledmys Diaz a hit in the fourth.
Tom Koehler (6-8) lasted four innings, allowing four runs and seven hits. He's 1-3 with a 7.84 ERA against St. Louis and has thrown four or fewer innings in three of his last four starts overall.
"Right now, honestly, it seems like when I execute a pitch it seems like it's getting hit," Koehler said. "And when I don't, it seems like it's really getting hit."
Miami (48-42) is a game ahead of St. Louis (47-43), with both chasing the second NL wild-card spot. The Marlins dropped back from a season-best seven games above .500.
Ichiro Suzuki grounded out while pinch hitting in the eighth and remained at 2,991 major league hits.
Cardinals: RHP Jordan Walden (shoulder) has been throwing and will be examined by team doctors early next week. He hasn't pitched since April 2015.
Marlins: LHP Adam Conley (6-5, 3.62 ERA) faces the Cardinals for the first time. Left-handed hitters have more success against him, .289 to .223 for right-handed hitters.
Cardinals: Michael Wacha (5-7, 4.36) has been on the upswing, going 3-1 with a 3.00 ERA in his last six starts.

The pituitary glands simply deliver a message to the testicles where the production of testosterone takes place. Now, this process gets weak due to loss of connectivity among hypothalamus and pituitary glands. So this testosterone booster re establish their networks by introducing natural stimulants for better production within the body.

I had a love/hate relationship with counted cross-stitch. As a child, I remember getting so frustrated with a project in my only year of Juniors as a Girl Scout. It was a for a Christmas ornament. I got so fed up with it, I gave up, and therefore not getting a badge. I hardly cared.
A few years ago, I cam across a lovely cross stitch kit in the bookstore: Miss Woolly's Creepy Cross-Stitch. It was Halloween, I thought, why not give it a go.
I gave it ago. And it sucked as much as it did when I was a Girl Scout.
Fast forward to last Friday. You know what else sucks? Kidney stones. I had one starting the day before on Thursday, and passed it on Monday. Fun times.
Back to Friday. I was laid out with a kidney stone at home bored out of my gourd. I wanted something different to do, and, since it's close to Halloween again, I decided to give cross-stitch another whack.
Above is the pumpkin I made from the kit! It's not exactly like the one in the book, as I made a few mistakes and added a few things to the mouth, I'm pretty proud of it. I even started the next project in the book.
This pumpkin represents an accomplishment. After 20-odd years, cross-stitch finally clicked. It's certainly not going to take the place of my knitting by any means, but it will be something different to do as a change of pace.
