Computerized Flashcards
I made up templates so that teachers can print out flashcards of words. I print the flashcards out on business cards or plain paper. The business cards are great because they can be easily separated and are more durable than plain paper. Plain paper works well if a teacher gives them to a parent. Peer tutors can also use the flashcards. I have printed the Ginn Reading Program, Dolch words, and the first two hundred Fry words.

I recently read an interesting article on Photopreneur which deals with what catches the eyes of photo editors.
The point made by the article reaffirms my belief that the simpler the website the better. With photographers' websites so easy and cheap to create, how do photo editors choose which online portfolio to spend time looking at, and decide to contact its owner? The answer? The simplest. I'd also add to that that the images have to be large...as large as those on the Boston Globe's The Big Picture (which, in my view, will revolutionize the way images are displayed on the web).
The Photopreneur article says it very clearly: "Despite the whiz-bang features and slick animation offered on so many sites, simple is usually best. Editors are short of time, and faced with a large number of images they want to gain an understanding quickly of what the photographer can do. They're less interested in what the photographer's Web developer can do."
A great example for a photographer's online travel portfolio is by Anna Wolf. Large images and clean scans of articles with Anna's images to show how her images fit in an editorial context is the perfect example of what photo editors are attracted to.

By Tom Quiner
President Trump is a big winner this week after his State of the Union address revealed how conservative governance is more compassionate than the radical agenda touted by the Democratic Party.
Democrats tout feelings as the prime metric for determining good policy. By their standard, Trump's 'Make America Great Again' policy rollouts are the most empathetic in history. Higher African-American employment. Higher wages for African-Americans. Higher pay for low-skilled workers. Reductions in deaths related to opioid addictions as people finding dignity in employment turn away from drugs. Along those lines, people are falling off the food stamp rolls in droves as good jobs fall in their laps, something some Democrats hissed at during his address.
Apparently, Democrats think dependence on government is good and that the dignity of a good job is detestable.
Perhaps Trump compassion was most obvious as he called for an end to third trimester abortions, something Democrats insist should not only be legal, but paid for by taxpayers.
Democrats will pushback by saying that Trump is a jerk. This blog won't argue with the assertion. But if you dispassionately review the record of his domestic agenda, you can't help but marvel at America's turnaround in three short years.
Democrats are clear. If they regain control of the levers of power, they will undo it all. They vow higher taxes on everyone, a geometric increase in government regulations and red tape, and taxpayer funded abortions for all, for all nine months of a pregnancy, and conscience protections be damned.
I can't imagine a more heartless agenda than that.
I can't imagine a more compassionate agenda than President Trump's.

singing over the bones…
Clarissa Pinkola Estes writes "Wildlife and the Wild Woman are both endangered species.
…Healthy wolves and healthy women share certain psychic characteristics: keen sensing, playful spirit, and a heightened capacity for devotion. Wolves and women are relational by nature, inquiring, possessed of great endurance and strength.
They are deeply intuitive, intensely concerned with their young, their mates and their pack. They are experienced in adapting to constantly changing circumstances; they are fiercely stalwart and very brave.
…The predation of wolves and women by those who misunderstand them is strikingly similar.
…Like a trail through a forest that becomes more and more faint and finally seems to diminish to a nothing, traditional psychological theory too soon runs out for the creative, the gifted, the deep woman.
Traditional psychology is often spare or entirely silent about deeper issues important to women: the archetypal, the intuitive, the sexual and cyclical, the ages of women, a woman's way, a woman's knowing, her creative fire.
…the goal must be the retrieval and succor of women's beauteous and natural psychic forms.
…The tracks we all are following are those of the wild and innate instinctual Self."

Somerset Levels are Flooded
The flood on the Somerset levels returned the past to me. Percy, a relative on my father's side of the family, once owned Court House in Muchenley Village. The village is now on an island surrounded by flooded fields. I am sorry for all those severely affected. After being flooded twice, and losing his dairy herd due to a foot and mouth epidemic, Percy sold Court House. I have googled the property, a Grade II listed building. The exterior pictures of it are exactly as I remember. Seeing them brought back many happy memories.

Los Angeles Attempted Murder Lawyers
Los Angeles Attempted Murder Lawyers
If you have been accused of attempted murder in Los Angeles, then you might be wondering what to do so that you can get the best possible defense. This is a serious accusation, and you must take proactive steps to prepare your defense so that you can have the best chance of winning in court. Your first step is to understand exactly what it is you are being accused of doing and to refrain from speaking to anyone about the incident until you have consulted with a legal professional.
Attempted Murder Defined
Under California law, you can be convicted of attempted murder for trying to end another person's life and failing. However, planning to kill someone is not enough to be convicted of attempted murder. You must take direct steps to act out your plan for the charge to apply to your situation. So, if you had planned to kill someone but later changed your mind, then you are not guilty of this crime. The prosecution must also prove you intended for the individual to die; attempting to harm some is a different violation. You do not have to be accused of trying to kill a particular person for this law to be relevant to your case. Also, shooting at a house in which a person lives is often enough to be found guilty of attempted murder.
If you are arrested for attempted murder, go to trial and lose your case, then you can face a life sentence in a state prison, which could be reduced to a lesser sentence. But if you are charged with attempting to kill a police officer, then you will face a minimum of 15 years in prison. If you are released from prison, then you will face several restrictions. For example, you will no longer be able to own or be in control of a firearm or any other deadly weapon legally.
Legal Defense
When it comes to legally defending yourself against an attempted murder charge, you can claim your actions were in self-defense or that you were confused with the actual perpetrator. You must prove your life was in danger and harming the other person was your only means of protecting yourself from death if you acted in self-defence. Proving that you were confused with someone else might be difficult depending on the circumstances. Also, you can build a solid defense if you can prove you were in a different location when the crime took place.
How We Can Help
If you have been accused of attempted murder, then we urge you to contact our law offices so that we can get to work building your defense right away. Waiting longer than needed to enlist the assistance of a qualified legal team makes it that much harder for you to protect yourself. You increase your odds of saying something that could allow the prosecution to win the case. The moment you ask for our help, we will start reviewing the details of your case and come up with the most plausible defense. Although we cannot always guarantee the outcome, if a way to prove you are innocence exists, then we will find it. Being accused of such a terrible crime can be stressful for anyone, but you don't have to deal with it alone. So, give us a call right now so that you can get the help you need.

Sad to report Hip & Zen appears to be going out of business. I'm sad to see any green company fizzle out but I really enjoyed their "Be Green. Be Fair. Be Stylish." mantra. Anyway, the up side is they're having a liquidation sale, which means 75% off what's left. This lovely cushion cover is going for $7.88! The cover is approx 18 inches x 13 inches.
This fair trade resin bowl, a real showstopper I think from the Phillipines, is going for $57 instead of $228.
Quantities are obviously limited and all sales are final. Good luck!

New Straits Times (Online) : 22/01/2018
KUALA LUMPUR: Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri Richard Riot Jaem today described reports that the Technical and Vocational Educational Training (TVET) was problematic with no uniformity, as inaccurate.
He said seven ministries involved – the Human Resources, Higher Education, Education, Youth and Sports, Rural and Regional Development, Works and the Agriculture and Agro-based Ministries – had all agreed to develop a synergised programme for TVET.
Riot said this was in line with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's announcement on the implementation of TVET on Sept 27 last year and during the tabling of Budget 2018.
"This is further strengthened by the ministerial level TVET Malaysia Coordination Committee Meeting held on Jan 16, which was also attended by industry representatives," said Riot.
"We had also agreed to implement TVET Malaysia in a more coordinated way, headed by the Human Resources Ministry."
In a statement issued by the Human Resource Ministry today, Riot also said the allocation of RM4.9 billion through Budget 2018 proved the government's strong commitment towards the implementation of TVET, to be utilised by the seven ministries involved.
"The Human Resources Ministry is now increasing efforts to identify issues and problems, implement programmes and initiatives and set objectives in terms of direction through the collaborative efforts between the seven ministries," said Riot.
"This is to ensure the implementation of TVET Malaysia is in line with the domestic and international economic landscape, technological developments and requirements under the Industrial Revolution 4.0."
Riot said, the Jan 16 meeting had also determined the need to increase skilled labour from 28 percent in 2015 to 35 percent by 2020, and consequently the need to increase the quantity and quality of TVET qualified workers to 225,000 in 2020, from 164,000 five years earlier.
He said the TVET Council, which is to be chaired by the Prime Minister, will act as the highest authority in determining the policies, implementation and coordination of TVET Malaysia.

I called in to the ATW today to get some wool for weaving and then headed on to the National Gallery Victoria (NGV) to see the Napoleon exhibition. It was wonderful - it also made me realise that I don't really know my Napoleonic history, I got quite confused about the different periods of government in France and how he got to be Consul, Emperor, etc. (There are some interesting links at the NGV site.) I was also surprised at how much of Europe he had under his control. Part of the exhibition was a history lesson for me.
There were various artworks, pieces of furniture, porcelains, jewellery and wonderful books of maps and botanical drawings on show. The botanical drawings were of flora of Australia, done during the 18th century, at about the same time the English were exploring the area. There were also drawings of the indigenous people and some of the animals.
It is not like now, when we can take a digital image and work on the drawings in the comfort of our studios - they must have been working away in rather primitive conditions. The works are wonderful to see.
It is amazing to think how close south-east Australia came to being a French colony.
It was also amazing to see the map of Australia that had part of the coast missing - it had not been drawn yet. The map was recognisably Australia. I cannot understand how they could draw such accurate maps simply by sailing around the country. I've always been mystified by how sailors navigated so accurately by the stars too.
There were a few tapestries that had been woven at the Gobelins workshop, which I was lucky enough to visit last year. That trip is being run again this year, almost the same, and I am going to follow their progress here, at a travel blog. I am already jealous, they are going to Stirling Castle to see the tapestries that are replicas of the Hunt of the Unicorn, which is housed at The Cloisters in New York, USA, and the Dovecot Studios in Scotland, something we didn't do last year.

Pocket Wikipedia
You traveled a lot and sometimes you need references quickly? Probably Pocket Wikipedia is the answer for your problem. It's an offline version of Wikipedia which is customized to be installed on PocketPC (but it can be installed on desktop or laptop) and for education purposes. It will not be as accurate as the online version, as it has been reduced both in size and also in the content.
The Selection (made by Schools Wikipedia) is about the size of a 15 volume encyclopedia with 24,000 pictures, 14 million words and articles on 4,625 topics. It includes the best of Wikipedia as well as many thousands of pages of extra material specifically selected to be of interest to children who follow the UK National Curriculum and similar curricula elsewhere in the world.
Nevertheless, it's still useful if you need quick information without Internet connection. It has been configured to run on Windows and also Linux (because lots of handheld are now using Linux as the operating system).
The application is available for free as BitTorrent download (2.5GB compressed with full size images) or HTTP download (792MB compressed with only thumbnail images) or on DVD from SOS Children's offices.

Duration:5-10 minutes
|A large,saucer shaped object,that i did not recognize.
On the evening of May 1st,2010,i witnessed somthing in the sky,that i had never seen before.
The sun had just set,so that the lighting of the sky,although not unviewable,was closer to darkness than to light.
I was lounging on my porch,facing the northwestern sky.
Seemingly,out of nowhere,an object,i would say,perhaps,two to three hundred yards long,appeared close to Logan Airport in Boston. As far as i could determine,it more or less,just hovered,for the whole time i observed it.I could clearly see the lights on the runway at the airport.It was not a plane, i'm sure of that.
Like i said,it was saucer shaped,and in the lighting conditions at this time, it appeared kind of silvery or metallic.
After so many minutes,it moved skyward,at a speed beyond my visual capacity.

Eye Link - tracking both eyes
Hi Chris,
To some extend this is a follow up on an older situation that I didn't get fully addressed. EyeLink has the possibility of tracking both eyes simultaneously. In MWorks I have a calibrator that works for each eye (for monocular situations). I would like to have the possibility of recoding the positions of both eyes, while primarily tracking one of them only. Do you see some impediment to this of have some suggestion of how to address it?
Thank you!
Hi Mariana,
No, I don't anticipate any issues with this. You could also track both eyes, if you wanted. You just need to have separate calibrators, filters, and fixation points for each eye you want to track.
Hi Chris,
Thank you for the reply.
I have 2 calibrators, 2 filters, but I am not sure what should be specified
in the fixation points to specify the eye it should be associated with.
Would this be set by having different 'trigger_flag'? I've changed it to
include 2 different 'trigger_flag's (I might only get to test it Monday.)
Hi Chris,
I'm sure I'm doing something silly. Not yet working...
This is how I have the calibrators and filters:
<calibrators tag="Calibrators">
<calibrator tag="eyeCalibrator_Right" type="linear_eye_calibrator"
eyeh_raw="eye_rh_raw" eyev_raw="eye_rv_raw" eyeh_calibrated=
"eye_h_calibrated" eyev_calibrated="eye_v_calibrated"></calibrator>
<calibrator tag="eyeCalibrator_Left" type="linear_eye_calibrator"
eyeh_raw="eye_lh_raw" eyev_raw="eye_lv_raw" eyeh_calibrated=
"eye_h_calibrated" eyev_calibrated="eye_v_calibrated"></calibrator>
<filters tag="Filters">
<filter type="boxcar_filter_1D" in1="eye_v_calibrated" out1="eye_v"
width_samples="5" tag="eye_v_filter"></filter>
<filter type="boxcar_filter_1D" in1="eye_h_calibrated" out1="eye_h"
width_samples="5" tag="eye_h_filter"></filter>
<filter type="basic_eye_monitor" eyeh_calibrated="eye_h"
eyev_calibrated="eye_v" eye_state="saccade" width_samples="5"
saccade_entry_speed="100" saccade_exit_speed="65" tag="saccade detector"
Thank you,
Hi Mariana,
You're probably running in to trouble here:
eyeh_calibrated="eye_h_calibrated" eyev_calibrated="eye_v_calibrated"
Both calibrators write their output to the same two variables (
eye_v_calibrated), so the positions for both eyes are ending up in the same place. That said, this might work if the EyeLink is tracking only one eye at a time (i.e. you've manually selected either the left or right eye, both not both, on the EyeLink PC). Is that what you're doing?
What I meant by "separate calibrators, filters, and fixation points for each eye" is a full, independent set of variables and components for each eye, e.g.
linear_eye_calibrator right_eye_calibrator ( eyeh_raw = right_eye_h_raw eyev_raw = right_eye_v_raw eyeh_calibrated = right_eye_h_calibrated eyev_calibrated = right_eye_v_calibrated ) boxcar_filter_1d ( in1 = right_eye_h_calibrated out1 = right_eye_h width_samples = 5 ) boxcar_filter_1d ( in1 = right_eye_v_calibrated out1 = right_eye_v width_samples = 5 ) circular_fixation_point right_eye_fixation_point ( trigger_width = fixation_width trigger_watch_x = right_eye_h trigger_watch_y = right_eye_v trigger_flag = right_eye_in_window color = 1,0,0 x_size = fixation_point_size x_position = fixation_pos_x y_position = fixation_pos_y ) basic_eye_monitor ( eyeh_calibrated = right_eye_h eyev_calibrated = right_eye_v eye_state = right_eye_saccade width_samples = 5 saccade_entry_speed = 60 saccade_exit_speed = 20 )
and then equivalents for the left eye. This is what you would need to track both eye simultaneously, but maybe that isn't your intent.
Hi Chris,
Thank you very much! I'll do that!
Thank you very much, Chris. I had not separated it well enough at all the
right/left eye signals. It is working now, thank you!
Great! Thanks for letting me know.

Ayurvedic Cure for Leukoderma (Vitiligo)
In Ayurveda, Leukoderma (Vitiligo) is known as Kilas. The literal meaning of leukoderma is white skin. In this condition there is a localized loss of pigmentation of the skin.
According to Ayurvedic principles, Leukoderma is caused due to malfunctioning of liver which results in a deficiency of pitta. Vitiligo patient experiences acute itching. A burning sensation may also be felt. If the patient scratches, it leads to the oozing out of pus or watery discharge.
Patients suffering from Leukoderma must cure constipation first. Any type of digestive disorders should be treated first.
Kutaja is the drug of choice for this condition. Powder of the bark of this plant is given to the patient. Dosage: One teaspoonful thrice daily.
Arogyavardhini Vati is also very useful. Dosage: Four tablets thrice daily are given.
Bhalltaka is also beneficial in treating this condition and linctus made from this drug is given in one teaspoonful dose thrice daily. A glass of milk should be given after this drug.
For leukoderma, the following prescriptions are recommended.
|Decoction of Khadira and Amla
|60ml to be taken in the morning
|Shashilekha Vati,
Rasa Manikya,
Vakuchi Taila,
|250mg of Shashilekha Vati, 60mg of Rasa Manikya and 4ml each of Vakuchi Taila and Honey to be taken thrice daily.
|Shweta Gunjadi Taila
|To be applied on the affected parts.
- Ginger juice 10ml twice a day should be taken. This ensures proper blood supply to these white patches and is very helpful.
- Turmeric powder mixed in mustard oil is also good for external application in this disorder.
- The decoction of amla and kher should be mixed with honey and taken in the dose of 20 to 50ml twice daily.
- Red clay is effective in the patches because it is rich in copper. This should be mixed in fresh ginger juice in equal quantity and applied over the affected part once daily.
- Leaves of neem (margosa) crushed with amla churna should be taken ½ to 1 teaspoonful once daily for about a month.
22 Best Natural Home Remedies for Vitiligo treatment (Leukoderma)
- Patient should not be given salt as salt free diet helps in speeding up recovery. Rock salt can be taken but in very little quantities.
- Vegetables with a bitter taste are beneficial.
- Skin should not be exposed to sun and heat.


text: Despite a very busy school timetable we managed to finish our sonic postcards. The class was divided into six groups of four .. as we only had one computer that worked.. and each group came and worked individually with me. Excitement levels were high after our very successful morning of recording sounds in the local area. Most groups chose to mix sounds from the quartier with what we managed to capture from within the school grounds. Before listening to everyone's cards we had a last final listen to the sonic snaps from Gualtar. The chestnuts roasting and the church bell gave us a lovely impression of what daily life is like there. By way of a reply I hope you enjoy these very urban Parisian postcards. Until the next time, happy listening to you all.

It began with the triumphant procession of Palm Sunday, through the events of Holy Week, Maundy Thursday and Good Friday before reaching the joyful 'Alleluias' of Easter Day. The Palm Sunday Gospel was accompanied by the distribution of Palm Crosses and the reading of the Passion Narrative. During the Week there was a series of Evening Meditations and Maundy Thursday observed the first Lord's Supper and the 'New Commandment' to love one another. Good Friday was a time of Reflection with special Services and activities. The joy of Easter Day was expressed in Baptism and Egg Hunts with the Benefice Choir leading one of the Services and singing the anthems:- "See what a morning" by Townend/Getty and "He liveth unto God" by Caleb Simper. During Communion they sang "Were you there?" and "Led like a lamb" Share this:TwitterFacebookLike this:Like Loading... Related

Loans for PhD students announced by George Osborne could be intended to pave the way for cuts to public funding for postgraduate research study, according to one observer, although the government insists that there are no plans to reduce current funding.
The Budget delivered by the chancellor on 18 March contained plans to introduce income-contingent loans of up to £25,000 for PhD and research master's students.
"These loans will be in addition to existing funding, and designed to minimise public subsidy," say Treasury Budget documents, which fail to give any cost for the loans or timescale for their introduction.
The loans for research postgraduates come in addition to taught postgraduate loans offering funding of up to £10,000 announced in December's Autumn Statement, to be made available from 2016-17.
James Wilsdon, professor of science and democracy in the Science Policy Research Unit at the University of Sussex, said that "without more detail on how this new scheme will work, the Budget announcement signals a clear and present danger to existing PhD funding through the research councils. Indeed, rumours suggest that this is [the Treasury's] ultimate goal here, as a way of relieving wider pressures on the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills and the research council budget."
Currently, PhD students who win funding are usually supported by a combination of research councils and funding via Higher Education Funding Council for England block grant.
Public support for PhDs amounted to about £633 million in 2014-15, with the research councils providing £393 million for PhDs and Hefce £240 million for postgraduate research. The research budget could be seen by BIS as offering some potential for cuts under a future government seeking further austerity, although such a move is thought unlikely by most observers.
Asked what the cost of the postgraduate research loans will be, a BIS spokeswoman said: "It's still too early to give a figure."
She added: "There are no plans to reduce or withdraw grant funding for postgraduate research degrees. However, we wish to widen access to the opportunities created by participating in postgraduate research."
The spokeswoman said that the "design and terms" for postgraduate research loans will be considered after a consultation, which she said, at the time Times Higher Education went to press, would be published "shortly". The consultation will be on support for postgraduate study generally, also covering the planned taught postgraduate loans.
Mick Fuller, chair of the UK Council for Graduate Education and head of the graduate school at Plymouth University, said that the idea of income-contingent loans for postgraduate research students "on the face of it seems good". But he argued: "As soon as you introduce a national loans scheme, the universities themselves will want to push the [PhD] fees up to get as much of that loan into the universities' coffers [as possible]."
And Professor Fuller warned that £25,000 "won't even pay for three years' living costs" for PhD students, aside from fee costs.

|Fabaceae subfamily Mimosoideae
|Central Queensland, from around Chinchilla to the Blackdown Tableland and at White Mountains near Pentland. Usually found on sandy or gravelly hills and near creeks.
|Common Name:
|Zig-zag wattle.
|Derivation of Name:
|Acacia; from Greek acis, a thorn.
macradenia; from Greek, macros, large, referring to the large elongated gland on the phyllode margin.
|Conservation Status:
|Not considered to be at risk in the wild.
A.macradenia is a spreading shrub or small tree 3-5 metres x 3-4 metres with pendulous zig zagging angular branches. The foliage consists of smooth, curved green phyllodes with prominent margins and a midvein and sharp, persistent stipules at the base. Phyllodes are 13-25 cm x 1.0-2.5 cm with a large, elongated gland near the base and often one or two smaller glands along the top margin. New growth is often reddish.

The large, bright yellow ball flowers occur in winter and spring and are followed by clusters of dark brown, smooth pods, raised over the seeds alternately and narrowed between the seeds.
Zig-zag wattle is a very showy species which flowers in profusion if conditions are right. It seems to require a cold period (or perhaps an extended cold period) to encourage flowering in warmer coastal regions.
Propagation is usually carried out from seed.

GODZILLA RESURGENCE: More Exclusive High-Res Photos from Toho
Press Notes and Images from Toho
Source: Toho Co., Ltd.
Official Site: shin-godzilla.jp (Japan)
SciFi Japan is pleased to present additional photos from GODZILLA RESURGENCE (シン・ゴジラ, Shin Gojira), courtesy of Toho Co., Ltd. As with our first RESURGENCE report, the images — some new, some previously released — are now shown in larger sizes and higher quality than previously available.
Directors Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi have assembled a team of top actors to deal with Godzilla's attack on Japan. The film's lead role of Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Rando Yaguchi is played by Hiroki Hasegawa from Higuchi's live-action ATTACK ON TITAN (進撃の巨人, Shingeki no Kyojin, 2015) movies. His credits include Sion Sono's WHY DON'T YOU PLAY IN HELL? (地獄でなぜ悪い, Jigoku de Naze Warui, 2013) and LOVE & PEACE (ラブ&ピース, Rabu & Pisu, 2015), PRINCESS JELLYFISH (海月姫, Kuragehime, 2014), MOZU (劇場版MOZU, Gekijooban Mozu, 2015) and SAILOR SUIT AND MACHINE GUN -GRADUATION- (セーラー服と機関銃, Seeraa-Fuku to Kikanjuu -Sotsugyoo-, 2016). Hasegawa is highly regarded for appearing in a variety of genres, from action to drama to comedy, and bringing a unique take to each performance. His GODZILLA RESURGENCE character is described as "a figure with the courage to find hope from despair".
Co-starring with Hasegawa is Yutaka Takenouchi from Toho's hit THE APOLOGY KING (謝罪の王様, Shazai no Ousama, 2013). Takenouchi is known for bringing a sense of stability to the characters he portrays, which made him an ideal choice to play Hideki Akasaka, a Special Advisor to the Japanese Prime Minister.
Rounding out the lead trio is actress and singer Satomi Ishihara. Her credits include Hideo Nakata's THE INCITE MILL -7 DAY DEATH GAME- (インシテミル 7日間のデス・ゲーム, Inshite Miru: 7-Kakan no Desu Gemu, 2010), SADAKO 3D (貞子3D, 2012), SADAKO 3D (貞子3D2, 2013), MONSTERZ (モンスターズ, Monsutaazu, 2014), TIME TRIP APP (幕末高校生, Bakumatsu Kokosei, 2014) and the ATTACK ON TITAN films. In GODZILLA RESURGENCE, Ishihara portrays Kayoko Ann Patterson, Special Envoy to the President of the United States.

Cheesy Dutch Sausage and Potato Chowder
Creamy chunked potatoes, cheddar cheese, sage seasoned sausage fried up with onion. Add in a little garlic, cream of mushroom soup and sour cream and you've got one SUPER delicious chowder. And it is so simple to make and also easy on the wallet. This chowder goes a LONG way. We are all pretty hearty eaters and we almost always have leftovers for the next day.
Winter is the perfect season for something warm and savory, and this chowder will do the trick. It will also have everyone thinking you've slaved over the stove all day, even if in reality you've been glued to your computer playing Freecell or watching your favorite Youtube sensation.
One of the best things about this chowder is everything, every single little bit of it goes in one pot. Don't you love that? I am a super huge fan of the one pot meal myself. I'm sure many of you are as well. Who doesn't love a meal that only dirties up a pot, a spatula, a spoon and a paring knife?
Back to our lovely chowder. Start with ground pork sausage, look for one that is labeled "sage". If you can't find it, add some sage to it by putting about a teaspoon of it into the raw sausage and smush it around for a bit until it's mixed in. Here down south, sage sausage is everywhere but not sure of the availability of it in other parts of the world. So just in case, any ground sausage will do, but add the sage if needed.
Place the sausage in a 4-5 quart pot, throw in one coarsely chopped onion. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to break apart the sausage and work the onions in.
Cook on medium high heat for about ten minutes, then break apart again. You want your sausage pieces to end up being fairly small by the time it is all cooked. Cover and reduce heat to medium and cook until the sausage is cooked all the way through and the onions are limp. Depending on how done you like your meats, this usually takes about twenty minutes. Make sure it is covered so that it won't over brown.
While your sausage is cooking, peel and chunk 6-8 potatoes. To me, a chunk is kind of just a thick random slice. As for the number of potatoes, really, just as many as you think you'll need to feed your family. If you go over 8 you'd probably also want to increase the sausage content accordingly. The potatoes and cheese are the star of this show, but you wouldn't want it to have a paltry amount of meat by overdoing the potatoes.
Add the chunked potatoes to the pot right on top of the browned sausage mixture. Add enough water to ALMOST cover the potatoes.
Cover and cook on high until the water starts to boil. Reduce heat to medium. Cook for about twenty more minutes or until potatoes are tender.If they don't break apart when you fork them they aren't quite ready. When they are ready, add a 10 oz can of cream of mushroom soup, 2 cups of grated extra sharp cheddar cheese, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and an 8 oz container of sour cream. Continue to cook and stir until most the cheese has melted.
Pour into soup bowls and serve with your favorite bread! At my house we like this with buttered garlic bread, but it is great with cornbread, sourdough or just rolls from the oven.
Printable recipe below:
- 1 lb. ground sage sausage
- 6-8 medium potatoes
- 1 10 oz can cream of mushroom soup
- 8 oz sour cream
- 2 cups sharp shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 large onion
- teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- Mix chopped onions with ground sausage in 4-5 qt pot, cook on medium high heat until meat is browned and onions are going limp. Do not drain or discard the sausage drippings. If you've bought a good grade of sausage there won't be much, but those drippings are what flavors this lovely chowder.
- Add chunked potato slices to the mixture in the pot
- Add enough water to almost cover the tops of the potatoes
- Cook on high and bring to boil, then reduce heat to medium
- Cover and cook until potatoes are tender enough to break apart with a fork. (Usually about 20 mins.)
- Add soup, garlic powder, cheddar cheese and sour cream. Sitr well.
- Cover and let simmer until cheese is melted.
- All done!
- Serve with a delicious crusty bread for dipping.

Donald Trump is stiffing his campaign pollster to the tune of about three-quarters of a million dollars. He hired veteran Tony Fabrizio last May, so it looked as if the billionaire was finally bringing in an operative who knew his way around the political block. But Trump seems to be defaulting on a debt once again.
GOP strategist Fabrizio has worked with everyone from the 1996 nominee Bob Dole all the way to the current Florida governor Rick Scott. But Trump and his campaign are disputing $767,000. That includes the amount the Republican candidate has paid the pollster and what he still owes him, according to a Washington Post article.
The current Republican presidential candidate's senior communications adviser Jason Miller said:
'This is an administrative issue that we're resolving internally.'
Trump did not think he needed Fabrizio or any other professional pollster, but his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort talked him into hiring the Fabrizio firm. When Manafort left the campaign, Trump hired another pollster, Kellyanne Conway as campaign manager. When she was hired, people wondered whether that meant Fabrizio was on his way out.
Multiple reports have indicated that neither Trump nor his son-in-law Jared Kushner have taken Fabrizio's polling suggestions.
Financial reports indicate that the billionaire has once again shown how tight he is with his money. Even though Trump took on Fabrizio in May, the GOP candidate waited until September to pay the firm $624,000. According to the Trump campaign's financial reports, he still owes the pollster's firm $55,300.
The Committee on Arrangements for the 2016 Republican National Convention (RNC) also paid the Fabrizio firm $273,378 in July, according to the federal filings.
While Trump may not like Fabrizio, by August he started working with four other polling firms, asking them to conduct voter surveys. Despite his issues with Fabrizio, Trump appears to have warmed up to pollsters in general.
The question becomes, why does Trump dislike Fabrizio? Is it a personality conflict? Does the veteran pollster refuse to scrape and bow before the royal Trump? Is it even possible that Fabrizio has lost his touch?
Check out this video of Trump claiming the polls are wrong. He believes he won the third debate:

Booz Allen Hamilton
Meeting the mobility desires of today's talent
A need to optimize talent sourcing
Given an increasingly competitive talent market, Booz Allen Hamilton needed to shift its approach to recruitment and update its talent sourcing process. A perceived lack of internal mobility opportunities coupled with challenges finding good talent for teams, held the company back from its highest performance potential. Recognizing this, Booz Allen wanted to better optimize the way it recruited and leveraged employees across the firm. In tandem with development of an overall talent brand expression, Booz Allen wanted to design a way to increase the ease of connections between employees and hiring managers.
Creating a tool that addresses employee desires
To address this need, Booz Allen launched an internal app. The app helps employees discover and pursue firm-wide opportunities for change, growth, and development while simultaneously enabling hiring managers to source talent more quickly and efficiently. It uses an algorithm to intelligently identify and match anonymous Booz Allen profiles to open requisitions that hiring managers across the firm have posted. Booz Allen turned to us to develop the app's overall expression through naming, messaging and development of touch points for dissemination.
Developing a name that calls employees into new roles
We explored name possibilities recognizing that the app's name would need to set the tone, provide clarity about the purpose of the app and encourage someone to become a user. It was also necessary for the name to connect back to the company's greater employee value proposition and possess relevance for both employees and hiring managers. The chosen name, RoleCall, speaks to the idea of pursuing a calling — of deep importance to employees. It also suggests contact, connection, opportunity and convenience — qualities that allude to the app's intent.
Speaking to distinct user needs
Within the app, we developed highly targeted content to create an overall experience that aligned with the distinct needs of employees and hiring managers. For employees, content was crafted speaking to their desires to be part of the firm, make contributions and add value. For hiring managers, it was important to communicate benefits of the app — its ability to help streamline their process, add visibility, qualify candidates and provide faster connections.
Fostering connections and engagement
To encourage engagement with the app, we also developed communication touchpoints guided by the overall talent brand expression. These included a promotional video highlighting the features and benefits of the new app, email announcements and an eBrochure. Moving forward, there is real potential to further leverage the app — giving greater strategic emphasis to its ability to address retention and desired growth needs.

Tired of the tears and resistance when it comes to brushing teeth? Explaining the importance of proper dental care is not enough to encourage children to stop their fun and games to take care of their teeth. However, it is possible to bring playfulness to brushing.
Make It Special
Let your child pick out his or her own toothbrush. Perhaps a Batman or Hello Kitty model will do the trick. You can also find kits with stickers that allow children to design their own brushes. Then, pick out a great flavor of toothpaste. Think beyond mint! There are many great flavors available for kids, such as strawberry, watermelon, berry and bubble gum. Finally, brush your own teeth with your child. Put on a favorite song, and use your toothbrush as a microphone. Then make funny faces at each other in the mirror.
Play games
- Give your child a toothbrush to play with. Let him brush his stuffed animal or doll's teeth while you brush his.
- Let your child brush your teeth. (Don't forget to do it again yourself later.)
- Cheer with each tooth brushed: "Tooth number eight is clean and shiny!" Then give an enthusiastic "Woohoo!"
- Download a fun app. "Brush DJ" plays two minutes of music (the recommended time for brushing) while the brusher races against the clock to get a clean mouth before time is up. "Star Teeth" allows kids to pick a character who encourages them while they brush.
Offer Rewards
If nothing else works, it is okay to offer rewards. Do not look at it as a bribe. Even adults get rewarded for good choices: For example, getting a paycheck for coming to work. There is no need for an elaborate prize; a little something to provide motivation will suffice. Allow your child to pick a book to read or a sticker after brushing.
With a little creativity, your child may even come to look forward to brushing teeth. Encouraging good dental practices does not have to be a chore that everyone hates. Make it a favorite part of the day!

Cafe Portofino
Back in the decades when Fitzgerald and Hemingway (and Mailer and Capote) wrote for Esquire magazine, the publication defined an idealized version of manliness—the Esquire gentleman was a fellow prone to the appreciation of finer things, like Havana cigars, boar-bristle shaving brushes, jazz and port wine. Port, like cigars and shaving brushes, is almost an anachronism these days, but gentlefolk in Sacramento—both male and female—can experience its refined pleasures by ducking into Karma Brew, a little jewel box of a bar facing Fremont Park in midtown, and ordering up a Cafe Portofino. Owner Anthony Sadeghi, a former London fashion photographer, starts with a basic mocha made with espresso, chocolate, vanilla and nondairy milk—ask for the exact ingredients and he winks coyly and shakes a finger, saying, "I have to have some secrets." The drink is finished tableside when Sadeghi pours in a shot of tawny Portuguese port upon serving. The rich, plummy wine smooths the edges off of the coffee drink to create a decadent, not-too-sweet beverage that tastes like jewel tones look. Suddenly you'll want to listen to Edith Piaf or Duke Ellington, and maybe wear an ascot or a cloche hat and start a serious conversation about Dadaism—hold the Gauloises. $8. 1530 16th St. 916-917-5555. karmabrews.com —H.L.J.

What My Travelers Have to Say
- Amy is a fantastic recruiter. She was always available to answer my questions and provided the help and guidance I needed as a new grad. Even during my contracts she was always available for help if needed. I've heard stories of other recruiters sort of dropping off in communications as soon as you had a job- not the case with Amy. I would highly recommend talking to Amy if you're interested in traveling.
- I was transitioned to Amy in the middle of a contract following the leaving of my initial recruiter- she made the change seamless! No matter where I am on contract, I know she is always a phone call or a text away ready with advice, a listening ear, or a good laugh. I couldn't ask for a better recruiter on my traveling journey.
- Amy has been amazing to work with ! She was a great support throughout my job search process. As a new graduate, I am grateful to her for making this process much easier and always working on my behalf!
- Amy is the reason I went with Advanced after reviewing multiple companies! I have friends that are travelers and they are correct, the right recruiter makes all the difference. Amy is more than knowledgeable about the healthcare field and what it takes to make traveling a successful experience!!!Two thumbs up!!!!
- I have been working with Amy for a little over a year and she has always gone above and beyond to give me the best possible travel experience. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in travel therapy. I have been with multiple travel companies and recruiters, and she is by far one of the best!
- I've traveled off and on around the country with several companies since becoming a speech-language pathologist. Amy Paterniti is, by far, the best recruiter I have ever had. From the very beginning, she presented me with a number of opportunities, had all the information for each, and secured a great paying assignment for me. Amy always goes above and beyond by continuously lending an ear or sharing a laugh whenever the inevitable problems arise during an assignment. I honestly can say I've never had a conversation with Amy that did not include a laugh or smile. She stays on top of the industry trends and isn't afraid to do what's necessary to fix a problem. I've referred numerous therapists to her and she has never disappointed. I give 5 stars without reservation to Amy Paterniti.
- Amy is fantastic! She truly cares for her travelers and is always there to help out in any way necessary. Her fun, upbeat attitude makes working with her a dream.
- Amy is very good at her job! She really knows the world of travel therapy, and if there is something she doesn't know, she knows exactly who to contact! Always upbeat and positive and willing to help in whatever way possible!

The results are in from the largest community health survey in B.C.'s history, and they highlight something most Whistlerites are already well aware of: We love to party almost as much as we love being active.
The My Community, My Health survey was administered by health authorities in 30 communities across the province, and Whistler was tops in several categories, including binge drinking, physical activity and sense of community belonging.
In all, 43 per cent of respondents reported binge drinking one or more times a month, well above the 27.6-per-cent average for the Coastal Rural region and nearly double the rate for Metro Vancouver respondents.
Binge drinking is defined as having five or more drinks at a time for men, and at least four for women.
"Whistler has a vibrant outdoor and social scene. This can lend itself to binge drinking and other high risk activities," said Whistler Community Services Society (WCSS) executive director Cheryl Skribe in an email. "Our goal at WCSS is to support anyone who walks through the door for any reason and get them the help they need with kindness and without judgment.
"Some of the findings of this recent survey appear to be similar to the Communities that Care (CTC) survey conducted in 2014.
"It is great that organizations are conducting surveys of this nature so that we can understand better what our community's strengths and challenges are. It could provide the building blocks to help strengthen and support Whistler based on individual need and risk.
"It also reinforces the requirement for social services organizations within Whistler to help manage those risks whenever possible."
The troubling trend around alcohol consumption in the community is no doubt bolstered by the youthful and transient nature of the population — 51 per cent of respondents were between the ages of 18 and 34 — as well as Whistler's lively nightlife and reputation for partying.
"One thing I think that does contribute to the drinking is the fact that a lot of these young people are nowhere near their family, so no one's going to really know if you're on a bender," said local clinical counsellor Nancy Routley. "Often in a small town your family knows what's going on with you, and I think that here your family often doesn't."
Squamish also reported a high level of alcohol consumption, ranking third in the province with about a third of respondents reporting they binge drink at least once a month. On the flipside, Whistler was the most active community in the province, with 68.9 per cent of those surveyed saying they engage in 150 minutes or more of physical activity a week. The average for the Coastal Rural region was 57 per cent.
These figures can be linked to the low prevalence of obesity in the resort, smoking and self-reported chronic disease.
But the community's "work-hard, play-hard" outlook is also contributing to the high drinking rates, believes Vancouver Coastal Health's medical health officer for the coastal region, Dr. Paul Martiquet.
"You've got a young, transient population in Whistler that is exercising more than the Vancouver coastal average, and after exercising, they're obviously having a few more beers than they should be," he added.
Whistler was also near the tops of the list in terms of fruit and vegetable consumption, with 36 per cent saying they eat at least five servings a day. Only Bowen Island residents reported higher consumption rates.
At 82.3 per cent, Whistler ranked first in feeling a sense of community belonging, compared to 70.9 per cent in Squamish and only 53.8 per cent in Vancouver.
While Whistler outperformed many communities in several areas, it is lagging behind in emergency preparedness, with only 17.3 per cent of respondents saying they were adequately equipped to survive three days on their own in the event of a disaster — the worst mark in the province.
"Again, I think that has to do with the younger nature of the community — people aren't thinking of earthquakes, floods or other natural disasters," Martiquet said. "It's more of the stable, long-term Whistlerites who would think that way."
With an abundance of trails and bike paths in the resort, it may come as a surprise that Whistler also ranked low when it came to the percentage of residents who walk, bike or take transit to work and school — 29 per cent.
There were roughly 100 questions in all asked by the survey of 33,000 residents covered by the Vancouver Coastal and Fraser health authorities, administered between June 2013 and July 2014. Questions tackled everything from lifestyle, community resiliency and mental health.
The entire report is available online at www.myhealthmycommunity.org.

A few days ago, I said that mine was the awareness path and so I probably would not be seeing a form of God or a transcendent Light.
Rather my awareness would deepen in a transformative way.
However, I remarked, all roads lead to Home.
I'd like to expand on that remark.
Sri Ramakrishna, an avatar who lived in Calcutta in the mid-Nineteenth Century, explained that all genuine paths lead to God:
"Let each man follow his own path. If he sincerely and ardently wishes to know God, … he will surely realize Him. "(1)
God Himself, he taught, arranged the various paths to take into account our different levels of knowledge and different temperaments:
"God Himself has provided different forms of worship. He who is the Lord of the Universe has arranged all these forms to suit different men in different stages of knowledge.
"The mother cooks different dishes to suit the stomachs of her different children. Suppose she has five children. If there is a fish to cook, she prepares different dishes from it — pilau, pickled fish, fried fish, and so on — to suit their different tastes and powers of digestion." (2)
He reassured us that, if we transparently seek God, we can confidently take up a new path. We needn't worry about offending Him through imperfect efforts:
"Suppose there is an error in worshipping the clay image; doesn't God know that through it He alone is being evoked? He will be pleased with that worship." (3)
My corollary to that view is that, just as the Divine Mother cooks different dishes for her devotees, so how they see or realize her will differ.
The reason I raised the matter was that, when my time came to see or know the Self, I experienced the space of it. Yes, my attention was arrested by the placid face of a man. But it wasn't the face that caused the deepening of awareness. It was recognizing the space "around" him or in which he was ensconced or that was associated with him.
And the predominant characteristic of that space was peace.
If we sang devotional songs to the Mother at our altar, with a symbolic picture of her, chances are she'd grant our wish and, in a transformative way, we'd "see" her form.
If we pray to and meditate on the Sri Yantra or the Flower of Life, we may see sacred-geometrical forms, revealing great truths about the universe, perhaps.
The natural outcome of the particular spiritual practice I engage in is a deepening experience of awareness or consciousness, at some point as the basic substratum of everything and no different than love.
The experience I had and that I'm referring to here Hindus would call "spiritual awakening" and Buddhists would call "stream-entering" – an event associated with the kundalini reaching the fourth chakra.
That doesn't mean that, after that initial revelatory experience, followers of the awareness path might not see a form of God, or the formless God, etc. I said at the time that I'd had other spiritual experiences that day, which I'd rather not talk about because they were not part of my path and I didn't know what to make of them.
I actually still don't feel comfortable talking about them. But the point I want to make is that, after the revelatory experience, things may happen which are not "on our path." I found myself in circumstances which were strange and unfamiliar to me as a student of awareness.
So don't be surprised if you have a different experience than I. Don't let it confuse you. I assert that we get the experience that is – not the destination but – a waystation on the path we've been travelling.

Onyx by Jennifer L. Armentrout (Lux #2)
Being connected to Daemon Black sucks…
Daemon's determined to prove what he feels for me is more than a product of our bizarre connection. I've sworn him off even though he's running more hot than cold these days. But against all common sense, I'm falling for him. Hard.
Our relationship issues aren't out biggest problem…
The Department of Defense is here. If they ever find out what Daemon can do and that we're linked, I'm a goner. So is he. And when a new boy shows up a school with a secret of his own, things get complicated fast. I need to choose between my own instincts and Daemon's.
But then everything changes…
I've seen someone who shouldn't be alive. Daemon's never going to stop searching until gets the truth. What happened to his brother? Who betrayed him? And what does the DOD want from them—from me?
No one is who they seem. And not everyone will survive the lies. From Goodreads.
Oh Jennifer how I love your books so so much!!!! Thank you for becoming a writer and Entangled Publishing for signing her! Wow do I love the love/hate relationship between Katy and Daemon. I love her snarkiness towards him because now that they have the connection it seems like he wants her only because they are connected.
Daemon is still ridiculously hot and he has his amazing ability still to get under Katy's skin, which is really hot in an annoying way. Meanwhile Katy decides to try and date another guy. Daemon decides it is not a good idea and basically is always around to ruin her dates. I could see why he would do that, he really does want her because of her.
Eventually she figures that out about the same time she realizes that she has been lied to. I know most people would hate that the guy that they have been seeing lied to them, but at the same time she wasn't completely honest about the way she felt about Daemon.
I don't want to give away too much but I do have to say that once again, I love Jennifer's books sooo much. I was very happy that I got an ARC from her book signing in West Palm Beach. This was also the first ARC that I have ever gotten so you can see why I was excited.
I give this book 6 out of 5 stars!!!!

The Designers' Dreamscape
We Design Silence is working with architects Squire and Partners on an inspiring installation for designjunction.
As preparations for the launch of We Design Silence continue apace in the run up to designjunction, we are thrilled to reveal that we are working with award-winning architecture and design practice Squire and Partners to help realise their design for a unique installation at Doon Street.
The Designers' Dreamscape installation is an inclusive co-working space, designed to be an engaging and highly stimulating environment in which people from all generations and backgrounds can meet, work and create together. The space will utilise a number of acoustic panels and elements engineered and manufactured by We Design Silence.
The co-working space will be an active feature within the show where designers will host interactive workshops and connect young designers with industry leaders. Click here to download the booklet which includes a programme of events.
The installation is part of a wider project between the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust (SLCT) and RIBA, in a campaign that seeks to raise funds, promote diversity and encourage inclusion in the design and architecture industry.
Reflecting Stephen's desire to become an architect, 'The Architect's Toolkit' intends to help SLCT inspire and enable young people from underrepresented backgrounds to study and qualify as architects.
The toolkit itself, created by London-based stationery brand Mark +Fold, will be a special edition of an architect's essentials designed in collaboration with three renowned designers. It will be launched at designjunction as part of the Squire and Partners' installation.
To coincide with the inaugural Stephen Lawrence Day (22 April 2019), a small run of each toolkit will be made available for sale, and a percentage of the profits will go towards giving someone else the tools they need to start their career.
It's a privilege to be part of such a worthwhile project and we look forward to seeing the installation completed for the launch. If you are visiting us at the event and attending designjunction, make sure to drop in to see this unique space while you are there.
designjunction runs from 20 – 23 September 2018 and you will find us on Stand F3 at the Doon Street site where we will be launching We Design Silence.

Newspaper article The Canadian Press
NAFTA's Environmental Arm Demands Canada Explain Oilsands Tailings Leaks
Article excerpt
Leaks from oilsands get NAFTA scrutiny
OTTAWA - The environmental arm of NAFTA is demanding Canada explain what it is doing to stop oilsands tailings ponds from leaking into Alberta waterways.
The request comes in a decision by the commission which oversees the North American Agreement on Environmental Co-operation, a parallel agreement to NAFTA signed by Canada, the United States and Mexico.
Canada has until Sept. 28 to officially respond to allegations it is failing to enforce the Fisheries Act by allowing contaminants from the ponds to leak into water without forcing the companies involved to fix the problem.
The complaint was made in June by Canada's Environmental Defence group and the Natural Resources Defense Council based in the United States.
Environmental Defence executive director Tim Gray says studies have suggested as much as 11 million litres of tailings water containing substances like benzene, arsenic and cyanide leaks into the Athabasca River every day.
A spokeswoman for Environment Minister Catherine McKenna said the government will work with the commission to respond to the request and expects this to be resolved soon.
"Our government takes the protection of water very seriously," Marie-Pascale Des Rosiers said in an e-mail.
"We are proud of our world-class, joint oilsands monitoring system we have with the government of Alberta."
NAFTA's environment annex allows non-governmental organizations and citizens of the three countries to submit complaints alleging their government is failing to enforce its environmental laws and regulations.
The commission has 30 days to decide if a complaint warrants a response from the government involved.
The request for a response from Canada means the commission found the complaint was submitted by legitimate organizations which offered science-based evidence for their complaints and that it was intended to promote enforcement of environmental law rather than simply harass industry. …

Eggs have been labeled as bad for your health because the yolk is high in cholesterol.
When the link between high blood cholesterol and heart disease was established, foods that were high in cholesterol were automatically categorized as unhealthy.
The truth is that dietary cholesterol contributes only to 25% of the cholesterol in your blood. The body produces its own cholesterol at 75% from foods high in trans fats such as burgers, doughnuts and all processed foods.
The Framingham Heart Study, which established the link between high blood cholesterol and heart attacks, found no connection between egg consumption and heart disease.
Quite the opposite!
Eggs are a perfect food with almost every essential vitamin and mineral our bodies need to function. One egg has 7 grams of high-quality protein and is a good source of Vitamin D. They are also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids as well as B6, B12, riboflavin, folate and choline, which in fact, is believed to help prevent heart-disease.
Part of the proteins found in eggs are: L-arginine, an amino acid, critical to the body's production of protein and the release of growth hormones and Leucine, one that helps the body produce growth hormones as well as regulates blood sugar levels.
Surprisingly the yolk is the part of the egg that contains most of these vitamins and minerals plus half of its protein.
So how about you forget that myth and go back to eating eggs, a rich source of 13 vitamins and minerals.
For the sake of simplicity, this article is kept short. If you need more details, leave a comment.

2010 was a year of many great new artists/debuts. It is also a notably good year for instrumental and hardcore albums. There were a handful of disappointing sophomore records; however, with that being said, my favourite album (and possibly some of the finest music ever created) came from a sophomore release. Please take a look at the following list and like previous years, I encourage you tell me your favourite albums of the year, I look forward to all your comments!
Ps, I took elements from the top 30 cover art to make the banner above, how many can you spot? ...There are some very Hidden ones!
#30 Holy Fuck: Latin
My top 30 list opens with Latin, one of several great instrumental albums of the year; but unfortunately, it is also one of only two Canadian albums on this list (you can probably guess the other one.)
#29 The Soft Pack: The Soft Pack
A fast pace, upbeat album full of catchy, positive and carefree surf rock songs, "Answer to Yourself" is definitely one of the best songs of 2010!
#28 White Guilt: White Guilt
Very loud and abusive to my eardrums—love it!
#27 Emeralds: Does It Look Like I'm Here?
Peaceful, calming and atmospheric, what standouts for me is the weird sci-fi like effects throughout the record.
#26 Everyone Everywhere: Everyone Everywhere
Great straightforward melodic indie rock record, sounds like The Promise Ring.
#25 No Age: Everything in Between
Same old same old... still loud, still energetic... and still awesome!
#24 Salem: King Night
Melodically dark and mysteriously distorted beats, a highly additive record.
#23 Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross: The Social Network Soundtrack
Another instrumental album on the list. The 19 tracks on The Social Network Soundtrack is surprising engaging.
#22 Foals: Total Life Forever
A wonderfully epic, moody and stylish album with some very memorable tracks—"Spanish Sahara" is one of my favourite songs of the year!
#21 Arcade Fire: The Suburbs
The first Arcade Fire album to entre my year-end list. It took me a long time to like this band and it began with The Suburbs/Month of May 12-inch, two of the best tracks of 2010.
#20 65daysofstatic: We Were Exploding Anyway
An insanely hyper, intense and explosive album full of killer guitar melodies and crashing drum beats... so good!
#19 Brutality Will Prevail: Root Of All Evil
Holy shit, what a year for hardcore music! Drone metal build-ups and hardcore deliver. Root Of All Evil is this year's Monoliths & Dimensions for me.
#18 Wavves: King Of The Beach
A clever mix of pop, punk, and psychedelic makes for some of the catchiest and most memorable songs of the year. "Idiot", "Post Acid", and "Take On The World" are among my favourite tracks of 2010.
#17 The Tallest Man On Earth: The Wild Hunt
Another collection of delightfully genuine folk songs from Kristian Matsson. For some strange reason, I love making breakfast to this album... actually, Shallow Graves as well! Conclusion: Matsson makes great breakfast making albums!
#16 Cats and Cats and Cats: If I'd Had An Atlas
Unpredictably youthful and raw as well as catchy as hell hooks make If I'd Had An Atlas an ultra exciting and refreshing indie rock record.
#15 Anamanaguchi: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game (Original Videogame Soundtrack)
45 minutes of chiptune/classic 8-bit music mixed with killer riffs and dance beats = wickedly fun!
#14 Villagers: Becoming A Jackal
Fantastic and unforgettable lyrics make for an absolutely beautiful record.
"My love is selfish/How it separates the earth/It takes every shiny stone but leaves the dirt/For the cowards in the corner who just don't know what they're worth" —by far some of my favourite lines of the year!
#13 The National: High Violet
Another acclaimed band I only got into this year. High Violet is additively mesmerizing for its gloomy mood and Matt Berninger's tender vocal—I often have this album on repeat.
#12 Titus Andronicus: The Monitor
I got really interested in American Civil War after watching Glory many years ago. Titus Andronicus' concept album about the Civil War once again sparks my interest in the subject. The Monitor is grand and celebratory with Decemberists-like stories and Gaslight Anthem-like punk attitudes... it is really fucking good!
#11 Devlin: Bud, Sweat & Beers
Devlin's debut is full of clever wordplays, emotional lyrics and stories—it is fascinatingly poetic! Bud, Sweat & Beers is one of the gloomiest albums of the year, but it also features one of the most inspiring tracks in "Finally".
#10 Los Campesinos!: Romance Is Boring
All the classic Los Campesinos! goodness + the band's best song writing to date!
#9 Ceremony: Rohnert Park
Classic straight hardcore sound combine with the perfect dose of experimentation—Rohnert Park is without a doubt, one of the best hardcore albums I've heard in recently years.
#8 Deerhunter: Halcyon Digest
The most accessible and arguably one of the best releases Bradford Cox has ever created. As always, I found something relatable in Cox's lyrics; but it is the comforting and soothing melodies that make Halcyon Digest an astonishing record. I pretty much never want this album to end—that sudden stop in "He Would Have Laughed" kills me every time.
#7 Professor Green: Alive Till I'm Dead
This long-await debut is full of classic Prof. Green humourous and cocky attitude, Alive Till I'm Dead is unbelievably fun and entertaining, a near perfect pop record.
#6 Band Of Horses: Infinite Arms
Surprise of the year! I didn't care for this release at first; in fact, I was sent an advanced link from Sony and didn't even bother to download it. Months after the album was released, I finally listened to it because my friend gave me his CD. I fell in love with it and bought it on vinyl. Infinite Arms is a prefect marriage of pop, rock and folk sound. Some of my favourite songs of the year ("Blue Beard", "On My Way Back Home", "Evening Kitchen") are taken from this album.
#5 Ben Sollee and Daniel Martin Moore: Dear Companion
The central idea behind Dear Companion is to express the members' love for nature—in particular the Appalachian Mountains. Not only is the album remarkably gorgeous and moving; it is an environmentally conscious as well.
#4 Avi Buffalo: Avi Buffalo
Avi Buffalo is one of my favourite new bands of 2010 and their S/T debut is youthful, pure and genuine. It is full of catchy melodies and brilliant lyrics.
My favourite video of 2010:
#3 Perfume Genius: Learning
Absolutely gorgeous! There is something comforting through the darkness, sadness and delicateness of Mike Hadreas's songs. Learning is the most beautiful record of the year!
#2 Pulled Apart By Horses: Pulled Apart By Horses
Being a long time fan of the band through their amazing collection of 7-inchs and EPs, this was a long-await debut that ended up being everything I expected plus more. An insanely high-energy record, it is loud, heavy and aggressive... and fuck yes—there is even a song about Link (Zelda)!
#1 These New Puritans: Hidden
Hidden was the first album I recommended in 2010 and it was also by far the best and my most listened to album of the year. In a year where I was disappointed by a lot of follow-ups, Hidden is the one album that completely surpasses its predecessor, which is pretty impressive consider that Beat Pyramid was my third favourite album of 2008. The first time I head the album, I was blown away by the mysterious atmosphere, the killer rhythms and drumbeats, the grand sound and incredible production. It is uniquely modest for its colossal stature. Hidden is the most innovative/my favourite album of this year; in fact, it is one of the best albums I have ever heard!

Product Description
Climatic zones – Europe
Cyca Revoluta is without any doubt a queen of Cycas and also the more extended in all tropical, subtropical gardens and templates of the world.
Its growth is rather slow, however, in comparison with other cicadaceae is one of the fasters. It is very adaptable and rustic, it adapts generally to all types of soil if they are drained and loose. Each year it sprouts new leaves, however, depending on the location and latitude it might happen twice a year. The trunks eventually might branch, giving to the plant primitive and elegant appearance.
They are long-lived plants that can reach more than 200 years. Once established in the soil it tolerates perfectly the frost.
Massively cultivated during the last years and due to its big supply in the market the prices have been reduced ostensibly, especially among young specimens. However, the specimens that are more than one meter of the trunk continue at the high price.
This plant cannot be missed in any garden, as it brings an elegance and distinction different from the palm trees, and the ideal landscaping combination would be mixing two species. A lot of people mistake them with small palm trees, even though their taxonomy is totally different.
Cicadaceae is considered one of the most antique species on this planet, however, the debate about their true antiquity is still on.
We dispose a big quantity of plants whose trunk is between 20/40cm., and big specimens of more than 1 meter of the trunk.
