Generally, a patent owner's rights are exhausted after an authorized sale; the patent owner cannot sue a downstream customer who purchased an authorized patented product from a third party reseller. So how can a patent owner control the resale of a patented product?
Do all sales exhaust your patent rights? Not according to a recent court opinion handed down in the Eastern District of Texas.1
While the topic of patent exhaustion has been considered several times recently by the Supreme Court and Federal Circuit, the distinction between an authorized or unauthorized sale of a licensed product is not a new one. The 1938 case General Talking Pictures 2
held that a sale outside the scope of a license was without authority (an unauthorized sale) and therefore does not trigger patent exhaustion principles.
The Chrimar case is interesting because of certain license restrictions involved. The license in this case did not, as is more typically attempted, restrict the use of products after an authorized sale by the licensee - a type of downstream control that courts have consistently struck down. Instead, the agreement between Chrimar and licensee Accton restricted the scope of Accton's sales. The license agreement's definition of Unlicensed Products includes:
PoE Devices that Accton sells to a Licensee of Chrimar or a company currently in litigation with Chrimar are Unlicensed Products under this Agreement, even if such PoE Devices otherwise meet the definition above for Licensed Accton Products. An approximate list of Chrimar's licensees and companies currently in litigation with Chirmar is attached hereto as Exhibit D.
And among the companies listed in Exhibit D was Alcatel. The Court determined that the license does not include a post-sale restriction but rather a restriction on sales to certain entities. As a consequence, sales made by Accton to Alcatel violate the restriction and are thus unauthorized; therefore, they do not exhaust the patent rights held by Chrimar in the sold products. With patent rights still extant, Alcatel could be sued for patent infringement, whether for use or resale of the subject devices.
Patent owners might consider similar licensing arrangements if they wish to control or limit the sale of their products downstream. This can be a productive strategy for keeping patented products out of competitors' hands, to maintain different royalty levels for different product applications, or to maintain multiple royalty streams when patented goods are incorporated into downstream products or systems.
1 Chrimar Systems et. al. v. Alcatel-Lucent et. al.

The eurozone is still trying to unravel its debt mountain, global growth
engine China could face a hard landing and recovery in the UK is agonisingly
However, there are bright spots. The US is showing signs of resilience,
corporations are in great shape after cost cutting over the past few years
and earnings have been surprising to the upside.
The problem with a completely defensive strategy is that it can cause
investors to miss out on any recovery. Stock markets are supposed to be a
leading indicator - with a rise usually happening six months or so before
the economic upturn starts.
This means that it is important to have positions where there is exposure to a "risk
on" change in sentiment too.
In these six investments there is cyclical upside, but the shares should be
pretty defensive too, as valuations in most cases are supported by yields or
cash. There is eurozone exposure, as valuations are already discounting
'Eurogeddon', and exposure to UK infrastructure spend and global luxury

Since the clearance season has started, here's a new list. Let's start this one out with a bit of a surprise. Affordable Star Wars sets!
75000 Clone Troopers vs. Droidekas, $11.99 for 126 pieces. Lots of Light and Dark Blay pieces, standard for Star Wars sets, but two Droideka "figures" that can be assembled as mechs or broken down for the component pieces.
75002 AT-RT, $19.99 for 202 pieces. Lovely bits in blue and blay, and a couple of the new brackets. If you buy two sets you can make a Ruler from the 1x4 Hinge Bricks that are a part of the set. The Droideka "figure" looks like it might fit into MFZ scale too.
9447 Lasha's Bite Cycle, $24.99 for 250 pieces. Sideways hinge bricks, hinge plates, Technic bits, Lime and Dark Green pieces make this a fun set.
70701 Swarm Interceptor, $19.99 for 218 pieces. Three different shades of blue! Clip plates, hinge plates, bar plates, and a 2x4 Hinge Plate make for a good selection.
70702 Warp Stinger, $29.99 for 310 pieces. Look at all the new pieces!
79001 Escape from Mirkwood Spiders, $29.99 for 298 pieces. Clip plates, clip tiles, and click hinges all over the places. The color pallete is a little limited though.
7347 Highway Pickup, $79.99 for 805 pieces. Lots of clip plates and Technic bits in this one. Probably would have been cheaper if it didn't have two Light Bricks.
10230 Mini Modulars, $79.99 for 1356 pieces! This one is full of great pieces, but they're in ones and twos.
6914 Prehistoric Hunters, $17.99 for 191 pieces. John Phelps (Dogbarian) writes, "Another nice set, I picked it up for $17, but have since seen it
cheaper, it's 194 parts, so it's in the sweet ratio, and has a large
number of hinge plates (in red, light grey, dark grey, and black), as
well as 3 Technic rotation joints and a number of other interesting
31005 Construction Hauler, $17.99 for 256 pieces. Red and yellow pieces, click hinges, taps, droid arms, lightsaber bars, Lampholders, and headlight bricks, oh my!
31008 Thunder Wings, $19.99 for 235 pieces. Orange, white, and blue pieces, hinge plates, lamp holders, wedge bricks, and slope bricks. Pretty nice.

Margaret Mead is quoted as saying, "never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." In late February, I traveled to Abuja, Nigeria to meet with one such group of thoughtful, committed citizens.
The Youth Initiative for Advocacy Growth and Advancement (YIAGA) is one of Nigeria's preeminent youth organizations. YIAGA, along with the Youngstars Development Initiative (YDI), has conducted a very successful advocacy effort to lower the eligibility age to run for elected office in Nigeria. From humble beginnings, the #NotTooYoungToRun campaign has grown into a national movement.
Nigerians become eligible to vote at 18. Once eligible to vote, politically-motivated youth must wait another 12 to 22 years to be eligible to run for elected office. This policy seems foolhardy in a country where youth account for 60 percent of the population and 55.4 percent of the voting-age population. This "youth buldge" is both an opportunity and a potential challenge. By marginalizing young people from full participation in the political process, Nigeria is missing a huge opportunity to harness their creativity, energy and inspiration for national development. On a darker note, violence may ultimately be the cost of their political exclusion. Noting the mass violence unleashed by Boko Haram, one YIAGA member pointed out, "the ruling elite in the north have not come to terms with the resentment of young people about their exclusion."
The #NotTooYoungToRun bill seeks to take on one barrier to youth representation in political leadership. The bill seeks to amend the constitution, reducing the eligibility age for President from 40 years to 30 years; Governor 35 to 30; Senate 35 to 30; House of Representatives 30 to 25; and State House of Assembly 30 to 25. Through YIAGA's tireless efforts, the amendment seems poised to pass the National Assembly and move on to ratification by the states.
So why has the #NotTooYoungToRun campaign been so successful? Samson Itodo, the executive director of YIAGA, said that while the campaign had started in 2009 it didn't begin to gain traction until 2015 when previous efforts consolidated on increasing political will and compelling campaign branding. The full answer is complicated and will be a main focus of YIAGA's forthcoming toolkit for youth activists, but they identified a few key lessons:
- Narrative is powerful - "We didn't have a campaign until we came up with the hashtag."
- Build a movement - "It's not about one organization."
- Focus on partnerships that work - "Legislative-civil society collaboration was key."
- Stop agonizing and organize!
Even as the national #NotTooYoungToRun campaign continues to gain momentum, the African Union and the United Nations have shown interest in replicating YIAGA's success. The UN launched its own global Not Too Young To Run campaign, and the AU has expressed interest in working with YIAGA to provide guidance to enable other youth groups across sub-Saharan Africa to achieve greater youth representation in the political leadership of their own countries.
While the tide is moving in YIAGA's favor, there is still a lot of work to do. They will need all of their creativity and fortitude to see this amendment through to full passage.

Dear Parents or Guardians,
Oklahoma requires that all Juniors participate in College and Career Readiness Assessment (CCRA) as part of required state testing. Although Oklahoma has officially adopted the SAT as the testing vehicle for the state, local districts can exert local choice in which assessment to use. Grandfield has chosen to administer the ACT instead of the SAT to our Juniors in the past and plans to do so again this year. The ACT is more aligned to the curriculum and is more widely recognized by colleges in our region of the country. If you choose to opt-out of the ACT in favor of the SAT, please contact the High School office at 479-3140.
Laura Yeager, JH/HS Principal
Grandfield Public Schools
I have read and agree with Grandfield's selection of the ACT as the local choice for CCRA for Juniors this year.

This is some blog description about this site
The setup is an imperative part of good putting. Often overlooked, it is probably one of the most flawed parts of most students I see. The irony of it is, it's the one thing players of all levels are reluctant to change. Players seek comfort, and sometimes being comfortable doesn't lead to good golf. The setup is the driving engine of the stroke. A proper, consistent set up will give the player a better chance to create a consistent, repeatable and controllable stroke. A great stroke won't come just because you have a great set up but it's definitely a great place to start.
Let's identify the 4 important things in a great set up.1- Eye line 2- Ball position 3- Stance Width and 4-Aim. All these things are interrelated, and if one is off, chances are high the others will be too. This would diminish the chances of you making putts over the course of a round. I believe that identifying your eye-line is the first big step. By this I mean, identify where you see the line properly. For most, their eyes fall just inside the ball; but this is definitely a trait unique to every player. From this starting point, the rest should fall into place because your body will fall where that eye-line remains unchanged.
One of the biggest moments this came to fruition was during The Wells Fargo Championship a few years back. Harris English had been struggling starting the ball on his intended line and was at a loss as to why. We routinely work a lot on his set up and this day he didn't know how to get back to where he needed to be. After comparing the video he sent with one of his practice videos I noticed that his stance width had gotten wider and his ball position was too far up on his stance. This threw off his eye-line, his aim and obviously his stroke, which in turn caused him trouble starting the ball online. It was a quick fix and was back to normal in no time. At this moment, a light bulb went off in my head. I thought, how can a player stay on top of their set up when their coach is not around? Enter the "Fundamentals." This episode with a premier PGA Tour Player was evident that everybody would benefit from having a training aid that they can rely on to make sure their set up is the same on a day-to-day basis.
Fast forward a few years, the "Fundamentals" is the one training aid that I use with all of my players and one that I know they use religiously. Some even use it in their hotel rooms or at home while working on their stroke in doors. Once you've identified the set up that works for you, now you have a way to be sure you start every round at that position no matter where you are.
Happy putting.
Putt like you train!

There are a number of ways to enter the game development industry in South Africa, including getting a relevant university degree.
This is according to Nicolas Bischoff, one half of independent game developer The Brotherhood.
The Brotherhood released the successful point-and-click science-fiction horror adventure game STASIS, and its free tie-in Cayne.
It is currently working on a post-apocalyptic adventure game called Beautiful Desolation, which was Kickstarted this year.
"Game development, like film, is a largely faceted industry. There is a massive scope for career entry points," said Bischoff.
"A typical studio will have several major roles that need to be filled in order to produce an end product."
These include game studio manager, director, and producers, as well as programmers, artists, sound and music producers, and people in marketing and promotions.
Programming roles can be further subdivided into engine developers, game developers, and research and development.
The art department can consist of 2D, 3D, user interface, and concept artists.
When it comes to programming, Bischoff recommended doing a BSc in Computer Science or similar degree, and combining it with self-study in game development.
"With this combo, you cannot go wrong in getting a job anywhere in the world," he said.
For your high school subject selection, Bischoff recommended English, mathematics, all computer courses your school might offer, and art.
Bischoff said that as a programmer, getting as much mathematical understanding as possible was important.
"Algebra and vector math are the most important, but game development touches on trigonometry, geometry, and calculus."
"If you intend to work at a AAA studio overseas, then you would need a very good grounding in mathematics. I wasn't particularly brilliant at school maths, but I had a good grasp of the concepts that I now use daily."
From an artist's perspective, his brother, Christopher Bischoff, joked he has only needed to know how to work a basic calculator.
Pros and cons
Bischoff said being a game developer has the following positive aspects:
- Artistic expression.
- A global market.
- A growing field of opportunity, as the industry keeps getting larger.
- Great work environments, often with creative people.
Like most jobs, there are also negatives:
- Game development is a competitive industry, you need to constantly keep up with game news, development news, and technology, and keep your skills current.
- It is complicated, and a lot of things need to come together to produce a final product.
- Time consuming, like most creative industries.
- You won't enjoy playing games anymore. You will deconstruct everything to see how it works and what makes it fun.
The most important thing
Being a game developer requires constant self-study, and Bischoff recommended the following YouTube channels to get started:
The most important thing you need to land a job at any studio around the world is your portfolio and experience.
"You need to start building it up now. Most professional tools are free to use – download Unity, Unreal, and GameMaker now and get working," said Bischoff.

Bellamy Football became the second Bellamy Sport in early 2000. It evolved from a social kick around and quickly overtook Bellamy Tennis in popularity.
What you need for Bellamy Football is a large open field or park, an even number of players, and an Aussie Rules football (though a rugby ball will do at a pinch).
The game is a version of "Forcings Back" where one team must kick the football to their opponents' boundary in order to win. The boundaries must be determined prior to the game commencing. The original Bellamy Football game was played in a park surrounded on all four sides by fences. If no fences exist on any side, then an imaginary border must be decided upon.
There is also no requirement for the field of play to be fully open or, indeed, flat. Our official Bellamy Football field had an asphalt path running diagonally across it, trees planted every twenty or so metres on either side of the path, a park bench with a rubbish bin next to it, a children's play area at one end complete with swings and slides, and a nasty downhill slope at the other end. Any obstacles and slopes should be taken into account when deciding the starting point of the game.
A toss of a coin is held before the start of the game. The winner of the toss may decide either who starts with the ball, or which end they wish to attack. The loser of the toss has the other choice. Once ends and initial possession are decided upon, the game commences.
The team with possession starts at the designated spot - generally the halfway line - and then handballs the ball as far as possible towards their opponents' end of the ground. All handballs must be made Aussie Rules style and must be made with the person's non-preferred hand. Any handball made with the person's preferred hand will result in a penalty.
The receiving team must then catch or grab the ball as far upfield as possible. The ball must be in a players possession before it stops moving. If the ball comes to a complete standstill then the receiving team are penalised (see below). Once a player is in possession of the football, they must then kick it mightily towards their opponents' boundary.
When a player kicks the ball, they must not move their non-kicking foot from its position on the ground. That is, the non-kicking foot must remain planted firmly where it was when the ball was picked up, while the other foot kicks the football. This is the no-step kick rule that Bellamy Football employs. There are only two exceptions to the no-step kick rule.
The first exception is the one-step kick that players are allowed if they mark the ball (ie. catch it on the full from an opposition player's kick). On marking the ball a player may take one step forward with their non-kicking foot and kick at the same time.
Additionally, if a player marks the ball they earn a free handball. This allows them to handball (again, with their non-preferred hand) to a team mate further up the field before that player takes the kick. Earned handballs may be accumulated and used at any time a team is in possession of the ball, though handballs may not be carried over from game to game. For example a team may take three marks during the course of the game but not use the handballs. When they get within striking range of their opponents' boundary they can then handball three times to bring the ball even closer for a shot at winning the game. If a player attempts a handball and it is not caught by their team mate, then they immediately lose any accumulated handballs and must return the ball to the original player for a penalty kick.
A team is also allowed to use one sideline handball if the ball is within two metres of a side fence. This handball cannot advance up the field but must travel laterally or back towards that team's own boundary. Failure to adhere to this will result in a penalty kick.
Penalty kicks are the second exception to the no-step rule. Any time a team is penalised their next kick must be taken while taking one step backwards. The player must step back with their non-kicking foot and kick the ball simultaneously. This isn't quite as hard as it sounds, though it can lead to some amusing moments.
Play continues until either one team kicks the ball into the opponents' boundary or boundary area, thereby winning the game, or one team kicks the ball out of bounds, thereby immediately losing the game. The teams then change ends and play a second game. The first team to win two games is the winner.
Penalty Summary
A penalty is awarded against a team when a player from that team:
Note: Penalties in italics also indicate the team loses any accumulated handballs.
And that, my friends, is Bellamy Football. Things to remember are:

Bluebeam Tip: How to Only Print, Email or Export Pages with Markups October 7, 2013Posted by carolhagen in Bluebeam Revu, Construction Industry - Software.
Tags: Bluebeam, Bluebeam Revu Tips, construction, email, tips
After taking the time to markup documents in Bluebeam Revu, why send 100 pages when there are only a few pages with markups or notes on them? Instead of sending the full set of plans or a lengthy multi-page PDF, it is faster and sometimes more effective to only email the document pages that have markups. This is especially true when not everyone uses Bluebeam Revu. Here's the quick 3 step process to just send pages with markups to the Print, Email or Export Pages option of Bluebeam:
1. Navigate to the Markups List
2. Press CTL-A to select all markups
3. Choose the desired function: Email, Print or Export Pages
The Page selection will prefill with the highlighted pages only. This is also true with the search function in Bluebeam.

Thanks for posting this tip, helps me alot.
- 2. Bob - August 30, 2014
I have had Bluebeam for over a year and never knew this feature was available, it will save so much time. Thank you
- 3. Max - June 26, 2017
https://polldaddy.com/js/rating/rating.jsOnce you select all the markups, how do you export only those pages? There doesn't seem to be anything under the right-click menu.
- 4. Robert Israel - August 11, 2017
https://polldaddy.com/js/rating/rating.jsHas this process changed in more recent versions? I cannot seem to get the print or export function to work for ONLY the pages containing markups.
- 5. Bob Pardo - June 14, 2019
Jumping in on this in 2019. If you're in CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION MANUALS or CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS this is very useful.
Using Blubeam 2018 do the following steps:
1. Ctrl + F
2. Type a key word you're looking for.
3. Just above your searched term click the icon showing a box with an orange check mark in it.
4. Click the icon with just an orange check mark and select "Highlight Checked"
5. Repeat the process for any other search terms you'd like
6. Alt + L
7. Expand the window opened on the bottom
8. Click one of the markups displayed in the list within this window
9. Ctrl + A
10. Right click one of your pages in the window on the left side of your screen and click "Extract Pages"
11. The page range should say "Selected (142, 157,….)" as an example.
12. Save

Corporate Art – Texas Style
Choices in corporate art vary immensely from business to business. Determining what is "right" for a particular corporation depends on many factors, some of which we've touched on in our other blog articles.
In this case, we'd like to offer a small collection and let the images speak for themselves. Not that Texans can be stereotyped by any means – far from it! Rather, what you'll find below simply represents the type of art chosen by a few of our clients who also happen to be our neighbors here in Texas.

text: Tymoshenko's parliamentary bloc shares power with Yushchenko's Our Ukraine party [AFP] Some in the Yushchenko camp are believed to be opposed to a Tymoshenko premiership. Volodymyr Fesenko, head of the Penta political research centre, said that her chances of confirmation were "really not bad, but not certain".Political standoffSeptember's elections were called by the president in an attempt to resolve months of conflict with Viktor Yanukovych, the pro-Russian prime minister.At the heart of a standoff between the two leaders was the question of whether Ukraine should pursue membership of the Nato military alliance.However, relations have also been difficult between Yushchenko and Tymoshenko.The two stood shoulder-to-shoulder during the peaceful protests known as the Orange Revolution that brought Yushchenko to power in 2005 after a standoff over a rigged election initially given to Yanukovych.But, after she was appointed prime minister by the new president, their relationship quickly deteriorated and Yushchenko sacked her in September of the same year.They reconciled in the run-up to the parliamentary election.

Agents at the monthly Yea store cattle sale said restockers were hanging back, despite recent good rainfall.
Tyson Bush, Rodwells, said feedlotters again supported the yarding of about 2800 cattle.
"At the moment it hasn't rained grass, and in many areas, it's probably getting a little bit too cold to get much growth," Mr Bush said.
"Blokes who put a bit of superphosphate out and scratched in a bit of seed have got a bit of pick, but haven't quite got enough yet."
He said many producers around the Yea area had been feeding out hay for months.
"Now is the time the hay needs to go out," he said.
"They know they would have to keep feeding it out for a while yet, so it's a cost factor.
"There's not a lot of confidence to buy back in yet."
He said older, heavier steers were a bit easier, selling from 240-270 cents a kilogram.
"The younger steers sold reasonably well, younger, lighter calves weighing, 250-350kg, sold for anywhere from 280c/kg to three dollars and a bit," he said.
"Cows and calves were very tough for the day, the cattle were showing the conditions of the cold and the season."
Heifers with bloom and shape sold to 260-270c/kg.
"A lot of the competition came from feedlotters, Tasmania bought a couple of pens of cows and calves, Bendigo was active, and there were two or three commission buyers," he said.
Jamie Quinlan, Elders, said the sale was firm on recent markets.
"There was a good line of background steers there, 240-300kg, which sold upwards of 300c/kg," Mr Quinlan said.
"The heavy cattle were a bit patchy, no decent runs of those, but they still made their 270-280c/kg, and once the heifers got quite small, they got a bit cheaper."
He said a backgrounder from the Loddon Valley was active, alongside feedlotters.
"There was a little bit of inquiry from the Yarra Valley to put a few medium weight steers, 300-340kg, out on grass for spring finishing, but mainly it was the feedlotters on the heavier cattle," he said.
"But there was definitely more inquiry from a backgrounder/restocker point of view, it wasn't just feedlotters and nobody."
Murrindindi Station, Murrindindi, sold one pen of 15 Connamara blood, February/March 2018-drop heifers for $690 and a second pen of 16 for $640.
The estate of B Elward, Alexandra, sold 21 Angus steers for $1380, while H Gilmore and Sons sold 14 Charolais-cross steers for $1260.
Barjarg Pastoral sold seven, 16 month-old Angus steers for $1280.
Peter Ingham, The Grange, Murrindindi, sold 18 Paringa blood, September 2017-drop Angus heifers, 428kg, for $1170, or 273c/kg.
Clarendon Park, Yea, sold 19 Anvil Angus blood steers, 375kg, for $860, or 312c/kg.
It also sold a pen of 15 for $900, another pen of 22 for $750 and a third of 21 for $660.
Fort William, Euroa, sold 24 Angus steers, 260kg, for $830, or 319c/kg.
G Woodburn sold 12 Charolais steers, 268kg, for $850, or 317c/kg, and another pen of 11 Angus steers, 295kg, for $820, or 277c/kg.
Inverugie Pastoral, Yea, sold seven, 12 month-old Anvil Angus steers for $1280, while Crystal Creek Farm, Alexandra, sold 17 Anvil Angus heifers for $700.
R & J Dickinson, Narbethong, sold Angus first and second-calvers, with four to five month-old calves at foot, for $1640.
Mr Quinlan said Raelene Mold, Barina, Yea, sold third and fourth-calver Angus cows, with Ashwood Park Charolais calves at foot, for $1520.
"That could have been $300-400 dearer than recent sales," he said.

There's always that one warm week in March.
It gets really really warm and most, if not ALL of that dirty disgusting slushy snow melts, all the soggy cigarette butts smoked over the frigid winter are exposed and Montreal begins to see concrete and—GRASS!
The city transforms. Coats are unbuttoned, people pull on their "cute" boots (the ones you would never want salt stains on), you begin to remember what it's like to feel the sun on your face, people are out on the streets chatting and you're even giving money to homeless people.
"It's spring!" you'll all declare, "The summer is almost here!"
Your mind will start to wander to that cute maxi dress you saw in the window of Simons, or that BBQ you've always fantasized about finally buying…
But you're a fool. And you know it.
For that one week Montreal is in total denial. Even though it happens every year, we will ourselves to forget that March will get cold again. It will snow again. Fuck, I remember it snowed once on Mother's day—WHICH IS IN MAY.
Here I will be presenting you with a lovely list of delicious and cozy soups to help get you through those final weeks of winter. You can do it! It's like the final mile of a marathon (half mile? Kilometer? I don't know dick about marathons).
Embrace those last few weeks of staying in after work and on weekends because you can't be bothered to leave the house. It's too cold. Enjoy the grey skies because let's face it, a sunny sky forces you to get out and "make the most of the day!" and we'd all really rather be on our couch, watching Netfilx and eating soup.
So eat soup!
Spiced Butternut Squash
and Red Lentil Soup
Best Cooked When:
Slightly drunk off mimosas, on a Sunday afternoon.
What you'll need:
- One butternut squash (mine was pretty small but I don't really think size matters in this case)
- About half a cup to one cup of red lentils, rinsed
- Half a cup to one full can of coconut milk (I used 200ml)
- 3-4 cups of hot chicken or veg stock
- One red or yellow onion, chopped
- A few cloves of garlic
- Some crushed dried red chillies
- An assortment of Indian spices: Turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander etc.
- A little bit of brown sugar
- Salt and pepper
- If you're not vegan, BUTTER! (if you are vegan, oil)
- Fresh lime and coriander (optional)
What to do:
Cut the squash down the middle and brush with salt pepper and olive oil or lots of butter. Roast in the oven open side up, until the squash is cooked through and soft. While you're waiting for waiting for the squash to roast, drink some wine?
In a large saucepan, sauté the onions and garlic in MORE BUTTER until soft and fragrant. Once the squash is soft, scoop it out of the shell and add to the pot. Add the lentils and cover with the stock. Let this simmer for a few minutes until everything is very soft, season with some salt and turmeric.
Transfer the soup in 2 batches to a stand blender (of course, if you have an immersion blender use this!) and puree the soup until smooth.
Pour the soup back into the pot and add the coconut milk, sugar and remaining spices. Warm through and serve!
Coconut Lime Chicken and Mushroom Soup
Best Cooked When:
You've woken up from a post-work nap on a Friday evening. Not only have you convinced a friend to come over, but you even got them to pick up some spring rolls from Thai Express!
What you'll need:
- 1 can of coconut milk
- 2 cups of hot vegetable or chicken stock
- 2 boneless chicken breasts cut into cubes
- Soya sauce
- 2 big cloves of garlic (pressed or finely chopped)
- 1 thumb of ginger (grated or finely chopped)
- Scallions/spring onions (chopped)
- One fresh red chilli chopped or dried chilli flakes
- One package of shitake mushrooms (or just regular mushrooms) sliced
- Limes
What to do:
In a large soup pot, fry the garlic and ginger with the chilli and scallions in some oil on medium heat. When everything sizzles and becomes fragrant, add the chicken–stir so the chicken is coated with the mixture and continue to stir until the chicken is nice and white on the outside.
Add the hot stock and coconut milk. Bring to a boil and then let simmer. While the soup is simmering, fry the mushrooms in a very small amount of oil on high heat. This way the mushrooms will get nice and crispy!
Add the mushrooms to the soup. Season the soup with soya sauce, lime juice and salt and pepper. When the chicken is cooked through you're ready to eat!
Cauliflower Cumin and Gouda Soup
Best Cooked When:
You're hungover, but you bought all the ingredients yesterday—organization, people!
What you'll need:
- One medium sized head of cauliflower chopped
- One large yellow onion, chopped
- I like to use some celery (about 4 stalks)
- 4 chopped cloves of garlic
- About 300ml of milk or light cream
- 4 cups of hot veg or chicken stock
- About half a cup or more of grated gouda (or gryuere) cheese
- Olive oil
- Butter (optional)
- Some ground cumin, ground coriander and turmeric (I also used whole cumin seeds)
- If you have some–SAFFRON!
What to do:
In a large sauce pan, heat a bit of olive oil and if you're using cumin seeds, throw them in the oil first. After a minute or so, add the celery and onion, stirring until they become soft and translucent. Add a healthy hunk of butter, the cauliflower, chopped garlic, and give everything a good stir. Then add your spices, the cumin, coriander, turmeric and saffron. Stir again. Cover and let the veggies sweat for about 5 minutes.
Add the stock so that it covers all the vegetables, bring to a boil and let this boil uncovered, stirring often for about 20 minutes or until everything is nice and soft. Turn off the heat and stir in the milk/cream.
In two separate batches, puree the soup in a blender; If you've got an immersion blender, even better.
Transfer the pureed soup back into the pot and add the grated cheese. Warm up the soup so the cheese can melt, stirring constantly. Season with salt and pepper and enjoy!
The Mushroom Soup of Your Dreams
Best Cooked When:
Trying to impress.
What you'll need:
- About 1 pound of mushrooms. I used a few Portobello mushrooms but mostly "regular" (read: cheap) mushrooms.
- 3 small red onions, or maybe 6 shallots
- 1-2 leeks
- A couple cloves of garlic
- Half a cup of red wine (I used a Cabernet Sauvignon)
- Half a cup of heavy cream (milk if you wanna be lame)
- About 2 cups of hot veg or chicken broth
- Balsamic vinegar
- Sugar
- Butter
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Dried or fresh rosemary
What to do:
Chop the ends off the leeks (so that you're just using the white and light green parts) into small pieces. Warm a couple table spoons of butter and some olive oil in a large saucepan and toss in the leeks. Lower the heat and let the leeks chill out in there, caramelizing, and stir occasionally.
Preheat the oven to about 400°
Chop the mushrooms into large chunks, and place on a baking tray covered in foil drizzle with olive oil, lots of salt and pepper and some rosemary. Cut the onions into halves or quarters, place on another baking tray, drizzle with olive oil, a little balsamic vinegar and some sugar, salt and pepper. Place both trays in the oven and roast for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the mushrooms and onions are soft and cooked, remove from the oven and add to the leeks. Add the wine, and turn up the heat to medium and stir until the wine is absorbed.
Drink a glass of wine.
Then add in your broth and let simmer for about 5 minutes. Stir in the cream.
Now, using an immersion blender, or a food processor or regular blender, puree the soup. (If you're using a food processor or blender, use a ladle to puree the soup in batches, maybe 3-4 ladle-fulls at a time, otherwise you'll have a lovely unwelcome hot molten lava soup surprise all over your kitchen).
The best way to serve this up is with some big croutons, or some mini baguette toasts. I made toast covered with Swiss gruyere, broiled them and put it on the soup.

I work for a company with around 30 sales people who I send out emails in individual 'campaigns' for. They sell b2b to people they have cultivated relationships with...so not really looking to 'grow' their lists. Currently I use another service but it's not fulfilling all the things I want. I need to know If CC can do some things for me. None of their lists is huge (the most is 450-ish) but with the number of sales staff, I spend a lot of time tracking down reports and adding/deleting contacts. (I have an account here because I create a newsletter for a non-profit, but it's pretty basic so I don't know the deeper ins-and-outs).
In my perfect newsletter world:
1. I could either use a template or upload straight HTML to create a newsletter. Obviously CC has templates. How easy is the HTML feature to use?
2. I could import contacts via .xls
3. I can set up reports to send to the salespeople automatically a determined amount of time after the campaign runs. This would have not just numbers of opens, clicks, etc but be a pretty full report with names included (remember, they know or hope to know each of these folks and so the personalized reporting is important.) This is what I'm NOT getting at my current provider.
4. In the absence of #3, a fairly intuitive way for me to quickly generate reports for them from 1 location - not 'opens here', 'undelivered here', 'opt-outs here'.
5. Support. There's no community forum like this where I am, which I miss. They do, however, have a very good live chat.
I know that's a lot but hoping that enough of you know some of it to help me fill in the picture. Thanks so much in advance.

There is no option to easily search for past emails, and reproduce. No search function, though we have asked for this for a year. I wouldn't join.
While SavanaRoseW is "technically correct" this type of "find it and then you can copy it" method is cumbersome, frustrating and challenging if you have to research thru many many many email campaigns to find the one you want to copy. As your other customer said in their reply-- We as customers have been asking for a better way to find/research info from our previous email campaigns for years.
Hi @Lizzz
Thank you for including your feedback on this thread. I can definitely understand how helpful a feature like this would be. This is a feature request that I have tracked in your account and submitted to our engineers. I apologize for any inconvenience caused from a search campaign feature not currently available.
If you can code at all, then I find it much faster, cleaner, and efficient to write my own html. CC accepts all html and css, so you can have total control over the layout of your newsletter. Plus you can archive on your own website as an html page with the same code. I code our newsletter to exactly match our website, so it's instantly recognizeable by our customers. We have very high click rates, and I think this is partly why. You just have more control if you write your own html.
Whether you're looking for someone to help guide your marketing or do it for you, we have plans to meet your budget and needs.Explore Plans

Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher Statement on Attorney General's Border Tour
SAN DIEGO – (Friday, April 21, 2017) – California State Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher (D-San Diego) released the following statement in reaction tour of the San Diego border taken by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly and Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Ron Johnson:
"Jeff Sessions came to San Diego today to tour the border stations in the 80th district and saw firsthand that our community is determined to resist the hateful, bigoted and unjust policies his Justice Department is trying to impose on us. His warped and delusional views on immigration just don't match the reality that our community is filled with hard-working, law-abiding patriots who reject this Administration's divisive agenda."
Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher is the joint author of AB 946, the Resist the Wall Act, which calls for California's pension funds to divest holdings of businesses that bid on the border wall. For more information on AB 946, or to schedule an interview with Assemblywoman Gonzalez Fletcher, contact John Vigna at (916) 319-2080 or (916) 212-0357.

Meet our First Business Star of the Week – Mr. Mozzie's Warwick Rebeck
Our "I Love Durban" Business Star of the Week is the hands on, proudly Durban Entrepreneur Warwick Rebeck. Even after spending some time in London, he knew his heart belonged to Durban and we are proud to showcase Mr. Mozzie's as the first in our weekly feature.
How many of you have driven past this building, without knowing the rich history and amazing story of one of our iconic Durban Brands?
Mr. Mozzie's is a household name synonymous with quality, taste and consistency.
After studying as an economist and working for a leading FMCG company where he met his wife, Warwick Rebeck has innovated and taken this iconic Durban brand to new heights.
Mr. Mozzie's was founded by his father-in-law Marcel Wouters, fondly known as "Mozzie". Wouters was born in the Netherlands and after spending some of his early years in Zimbabwe moved to South Africa.
Interestingly enough, Wouters ran the then Argyle Butchery in 1968, which belonged to his father-in-law. Looks like history did repeat itself when Warwick joined the business in 1997.
As a young man Wouters ran the small shop, which prospered into the iconic business you see today.
Warwick started his career at Beacon Sweets where he met his wife, Tina. He was involved in many aspects of the company, including marketing, sales and production. He joined Mr. Mozzie's in 1997 and soon started buying out the business, a process he has since completed.
He said the move to Mr. Mozzie's was life changing. "I never dreamed I would end up in the meat business. But it has been a great experience." His life changed again in 2006 when Wouters retired.
Warwick says that he owes a lot to Beacon Sweets. "There I learnt a lot about production, sales and marketing. This FMCG grounding has been really useful to me here."
The secret of Mr. Mozzie's success, he says, lies in the quality and consistency of its products. Quality is something that Mr. Mozzie's is renowned for and even in good times and bad, quality will always sell. "There are always people who are willing to buy quality."
He also attributes his success to his amazing, dedicated and loyal team of over 40 people. "Some of our staff have been with us for more than 40 years. They are part of our Mr. Mozzie's family."
The wholesale division of the business continues to grow. "We supply a large range of lines to hotels and restaurants, places that want the best quality money can buy. That is our kind of customer." said Warwick Rebeck
The demand for Mr. Mozzie's quality products reaches far and wide. "We supply most Food Lover's Market, Spar and Checkers stores in KZN."
There is also a regular stream of customers from the rest of South Africa and even overseas who make sure that a visit to his stores is a must. "Many of our customers come to buy vacuum-packed specialities including biltong to take to Mr. Mozzie's fans who now live overseas and miss our products!"
Over the past few years the Hot Deli has become a "Hot" favourite in Durban. Their wide selection of meats include their Boerewors Rolls for just R15.90, Roasted Eisbeins, Roasted Turkey Drumsticks, Bacon-wrapped Frankfurters, Grilled Lamb Chops and much more.
When asked about an interesting fact, request or story that not many people knew, he quickly responded "We have at least one car per year taking out the robot in front of the Argyle Road store and almost landing in the shop! We've actually had one or two end up inside the shop over the years!"
So, the next time you are at the intersection, slow down, turn left into the parking at the back of the store and experience the quality and taste of a Proudly Durban Business.
You can visit Mr. Mozzie's at their flagship store in Argyle Road Store or at the La Lucia Mall or check out their website www.mrmozzies.co.za or like them on Facebook or follow them on Twitter.

Tamworth in Bloom strikes gold for the ninth year!
Tamworth has gold fever following another successful year in the Heart of England in Bloom competition – striking GOLD for the ninth year in a row, as well as picking up a special award for the Moor Street Island display.
The borough's accolade in the 'Small City' category was revealed at a ceremony at The National Brewery Centre in Burton on September 20. Representatives from Tamworth Borough Council's Assets and Environment team attended the ceremony to collect the awards, where Tamworth also picked up an additional special award for the community cabinet, a complete surprise.
The Discretionary award – 'The Mike Garwood Memorial Award', was given for the stunning Moor Street Island WW1 trench display. The trench feature, flower bed crest and footsteps leading to the soldier statue made entirely of flowers, forms a fabulous floral display for a fitting tribute to mark the anniversary of 100 years since the end of WW1.
All of the displays have looked amazing this year thanks to the hard work on the ground by members of the Street Scene team, with some fantastic floral displays to mark this year's theme of 'Homecoming 2018'.
Months of hard work by council staff, community groups, sheltered housing schemes, businesses and green-fingered residents across the borough ensured it was the incredible ninth year for the gold medal by helping to maintain the town's high standard for fabulous floral displays, impressive community projects and thriving wildlife habitats.
Tamworth Borough Council has celebrated three very important anniversaries with this theme –100 years since the end of WW1, 100 years since the Girl Guides were formed in Tamworth and the1100th anniversary of 'The Lady of the Mercians', Aethelflaed's death in Tamworth.
This year's Tamworth in Bloom campaign has included a number of festive and floral celebrations to mark these important anniversaries.
Judges have continued to be impressed by the partnerships, community spirit and Wild about Tamworth at Broad Meadow LNR - where the increase of fritillary cover is the highest it has been. All areas demonstrate the embedding of the true spirit of Bloom.
Cllr John Chesworth, Cabinet member for Culture and Operational Services, said: "Our continued success in this competition is incredible, because staying on top of the game, year after year, means extreme hard work and planning.
"Securing gold again and winning the Discretionary award really serves to demonstrate the importance of the partnership approach to Tamworth in Bloom. It's a great team effort across the council, community and business sector and our continued success reflects that.
"It was a really busy year for Tamworth in Bloom with three really important anniversaries being celebrated, so there was a lot to incorporate. The campaign is a real community effort which is ongoing throughout the year so we are delighted that the judges were impressed with what they saw.
"Council staff, residents and businesses have contributed towards the many fabulous floral displays, community projects, nature reserves and wildlife habitats. We are delighted to receive the Mike Garwood Memorial Award for the impressive World War 1 trench installation at Moor Street Island.
"The displays have looked amazing this year thanks to the hard work on the ground by members of the Street Scene team, who work tirelessly all year round to keep the town looking nice with some fantastic floral displays to mark this year's theme of 'Homecoming 2018'; but we must also praise the efforts of Tamworth's growing army of green fingered enthusiasts who are working hard to improve the areas they live in.
"A huge well done to all involved and fingers crossed for more success for Wigginton Park when the winners of the Parks and Open Spaces Campaign are revealed on September 27."

While analyzing some issues with cutting the .MTS files from a GH2 in the compressed domain (without re-encoding), I was wondering if anybody can tell me how large the Closed GOPs are in those files, or put otherwise: When / how frequently are IDR frames written into the stream?
I understand that most patch settings tamper with the number and type of frames in each (open) GOP, but I have not yet found any mentioning on how many frames are written into one closed GOP.
Or does anybody know what the maximum amount of reference frames is that the GH2 output uses? (H.264 would allow up to 16, but since many decoders are not willing to store that many decoded frames for later use as a reference, the lower H.264 profiles are limited to much less.)
I guess the next thing I'll need to find out is whether the GH2 output contains actual IDR frames, or at least frames that indicate being recovery points - I've read (though not in any official standard document) that many transport streams did not contain IDR frames at all (mentioned e.g. here: https://reviews.handbrake.fr/r/163/diff/ ).
I think that you just need to dig into H.264 documents. And clearly get the GOP, I-Frame, P-Frame, B-Frame terms.
This may help you in the case of Intra and IDR frames.
@all: Thanks for your advise!
@LPowell: I'm kind of relieved that it was for a reason I could not find IDR frames in the middle of the files I looked at :-)
@driftwood: Without IDR frames to cut at, I wonder what it takes to ensure that the relevant frames of a clip are decodeable correctly when other frames are cut away from a file. When up to 2 frames "in the past" can be referenced, I see a dilemma: Theoretically, the first frame after an I-frame could reference the frame before that I-frame (which is in the preceding GOP). That frame, in turn, could again reference preceding frames that are not necessarily I-frames, and could be located in even further preceding GOPs. Thus, theoretically, any number of preceding frames up to the initial IDR frame might be required for reconstructing a frame later in the file.
But in practice, I only see a few broken frames being decoded in the beginning when I cut away earlier frames from the file.
So I wonder what mechanism (other than the non-present IDR frames) ensures (in the GH2 output files) that there is a limit to the number of preceding frames one needs to decode to start playing somewhere in the middle of a file. According to different code samples I found while searching, the answer could be "SEI recovery points" (e.g.: http://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/vlc-commits/2010-October/003615.html ), I guess I'll really need to find me the official standard text to get a more consistent/precise description on that.
I just read the chapter "D.2.7 Recovery point SEI message semantics" of the H.264 standard. The bad news is, that indeed, a recovery point SEI message may only indicate "approximately correct" decoded frames.
The good news is that there is a flag defined in the recovery point SEI message syntax that indicates whether frames after a recovery point SEI message can be decoded precisely correct, not just "approximately":
exact_match_flag indicates whether decoded pictures at and subsequent to the specified recovery point in output order derived by starting the decoding process at the access unit associated with the recovery point SEI message shall be an exact match to the pictures that would be produced by starting the decoding process at the location of a previous IDR access unit in the NAL unit stream. The value 0 indicates that the match need not be exact and the value 1 indicates that the match shall be exact.
So I guess next I will need to find out whether this "exact_match_flag" is set in recovery point SEI messages in GH2 output files.
If it's not, that would be kind of a no-go criterion, as the standard states:
When exact_match_flag is equal to 0, the quality of the approximation at the recovery point is chosen by the encoding process and is not specified by this Recommendation | International Standard.
The instantaneous decoding refresh (IDR) picture: A coded picture containing only slices with I or SI slice types that causes the decoding process to mark all reference pictures as "unused for reference" immediately after decoding the IDR picture. After the decoding of an IDR picture all following coded pictures in decoding order can be decoded without inter prediction from any picture decoded prior to the IDR picture. The first picture of each coded video sequence is an IDR picture.
As VK suggested itis probably better that you read deep into the standard.
My key understanding from what I read a few months back is that the IDR sets up the initial reference for frames & ordering and is essential. In a TS stream the coded IDR picture frame performs reference for TopFieldOrderCnt and BottomFieldOrderCnt.
The bitstream shall not contain data that results in Min( TopFieldOrderCnt, nBottomFieldOrderCnt ) not equal to 0 for a coded IDR frame, TopFieldOrderCnt not equal to 0 for a coded IDR top field, or BottomFieldOrderCnt not equal to 0 for a coded IDR bottom field. Thus, at least one of TopFieldOrderCnt and BottomFieldOrderCnt shall be equal to 0 for the fields of a coded IDR frame.
@karl The only thing that's needed to correctly decode any section of a GH2 AVCHD file is to start and end with an I-frame. All P and B-frames contained within a bookended I-frame sequence will be correctly reconstructed. In practice, modern NLE's handle this for you behind the scenes, and you can freely set in and out points at any frame in a clip.
@driftwood: I understood that definition of IDR frames, it just doesn't help the cause of cutting an .MTS file without re-encoding if there is only one IDR frame at the very beginning of the file :-) - that's why I hoped for the Recovery Point SEI messages, instead.
@LPowell: If the GH2 written H.264 does not ever use references across I-frames, that would of course be simplifying my cause. But then I need to find a different explanation on why I see a few damaged frames when I cut away content from within an .MTS file right before an I-frame (using "avidemux 2.6"). There may, of course, be some software bug causing this, I'll continue the investigation.
Lpowell is quite correct as far as editing goes - in the past it has long been considered a problem of Long GOPs that you may lose data if there is corruption in the predictive frames and that you have have to go back to the last decent ref frame - but this rarely happens. Have you got a problem in the edit? Problem with B frame recordings?
Every I frame in a GH2 recording should produce a recovery point indicated in the stream by for example (preceeding the i frame slice number);-
0x0000044C H264 SEI
Indeed, every I frame output by the GH2 will produce a new Sequence Parameter Set, Picture Parameter Set, buffering period, Picture Timing, SEI user data, and the Recovery Point in its stream MTS file.
After having done several more experiments, I now think I was probably on the wrong track when assuming that references to frames outside the GOPs I wanted to retain are causing those "defect frames" to show up the in output files of avidemux 2.6.
First, I simplified my test scenario by not cutting away frames from the middle of a file, but instead just marking a region in the middle of a file and saving only that into the output. I further simplified my test case by reducing the amount of frames I saved into the output to very few (4) frames (of type I-B-B-I).
I found that the I-Frame where I set the "Begin"-Mark to is indeed stored in the output file, but "something in the output" is displayed even before that first frame, and those "phantom frames before the first wanted frame" look defect. I also noticed that the first wanted frame is scheduled for display not at "0:00:00", but at 0.125 seconds, which is 3 * 1s / 24 later than expected.
My new hypothesis is that maybe, those defect frames displayed are residues from the B-frames that precede the I-frame that set "Begin Mark" at. Maybe those B-frames even follow the data for the first wanted I-frame in the input file, as B-frames require the following reference frame to be decoded before they can be decoded (this is currently only an idea of mine, I have no evidence yet to prove that).
Does this sound like a plausible idea to you?
(PS: Of course other NLE software may already do better, but I want to help improving avidemux 2.6, which I got very used to when using its 2.4 with footage from an older camera. And I don't want to use any NLE software that re-encodes the clips at this stage of post-processing.)

Are we almost halfway through May? What happened to April? Before I realize it's June and I've been "MIA" allow me to explain, it only takes two words: Construction and Pregnancy!
Yes, we are expecting baby #3! We announced to our friends and family a few days before Easter.
Between growing a baby, a basement remodel, and everyday life with kids, it's been a little crazy around here!
Let's start with the baby details!
We are due to become a family of 5 in late September or early October. My original due date was end of September but after my second ultrasound the baby was measuring 6 days behind, changing their arrival to October 2nd. May I just say… moving back a pregnant lady's due date is just wrong. I know it's only 6 days but it's also 6 days!! Causing me to "re-do" week 13 in my mind (and pregnancy tracker App). Both my boys arrived several days early, so it's all a bit of a guessing game.
How I'm feeling: Week 6-13 was pretty rough. The toughest by far of all my pregnancies. I was nauseous most of the time (although very thankful not to be throwing up!) Leftovers were my worst enemy. All the pregnancy woes I experienced later on with baby #2 seemed to be gracing me with their presence very early. Waking several times a night for bathroom breaks no matter when I stopped drinking water at night, varicose veins by week 12, it all hit full force! Now that I am at the 20 week halfway mark, my energy and appetite are returning and I am embracing the beauty of compression garments.
What I'm craving: Late night PB&J sandwiches with a glass of milk, chocolate pudding, root beer floats, pizza, and donuts.
J & G: J is excited about the new baby! When I ask him if he wants a brother or sister his latest response has been, "2 brothers and 5 sisters." 😐 Hate to burst your bubble big guy, but thankfully there is just one baby in mommy's tummy. He will ask, "how big is the baby now?" and I will tell him what piece of fruit best matches the current size, or we will look at pictures on the pregnancy App. Little G. is 16 months and hasn't shown any awareness of his soon to be changing status as youngest. He is a mamma's boy and wants my attention often, but he is also so very sweet and gentle when he see's babies. He goes up and gives them a soft pat and kiss on their head. It just melts my heart.
Gender Reveal: and the gender is…… A surprise!!!! We did fun gender reveals for both J and G, but I've decided to not find out the gender for baby 3! Even more of a surprise is that my type A, organized, OCD planning self has been so calm, content, and happy about this decision. Who woulda thought?
Moving on to home construction.
We just wrapped up two major projects, a complete redo of our HVAC system and moving plumbing for our future bathroom. We had a 10-foot trench in the basement for several days and J thought it was great to have an indoor sandbox. We also removed all of the old insulation from the garage ceiling to replace with the appropriate fire resistant spay foam. The hubby took on the very gross and messy task of pulling 40-year-old mouse infested insulation from the garage.
It brings peace of mind knowing we are updating the mechanics of this old home, but I have a hard time getting excited about HVAC systems and plumbing. It's just not as fun as pretty curtains, cabinets, or decorative touches.
Those are the highlights of April! Now onto a quick power nap while the boys are still asleep!

Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador have the highest percentages of self-identified indigenous people, most of whom live in the highlands. The Quechua and other linguistic groups, such as the Aymara, have coexisted with the mestizos majority (people of mixed European and indigenous descent) for many centuries.
Their cultures are strong, autonomous and resilient to change and have influenced their country's identity (through traditional music, food, language and superstition) to its core.
For travelers, experiencing these highland cultures firsthand can be as simple as getting on a bus, hanging around a typical village or shopping at a bustling local market. Here you will find the usual fare such as colorful ponchos, alpaca sweaters, Machu Picchu paintings and other crafts but also a funny little man: the Ekeko.
This ceramic doll symbolizes the Andean comerciante and odds are they look exactly like how you imagined an indigenous person from South America; colorfully dressed carrying many bags, in the Ekeko's case filled with grains of rice, corn, sweets, confetti and even miniature dollar bills (or euros). This Andean buddy embodies abundance, fortune and prosperity…and makes for the perfect souvenir!

Now that the kids are back in school, they may be asking their moms and dads to make a switch - a switch from glasses to contacts, that is. But before parents agree, the Food and Drug Administration has a warning. Kids and contact lenses are now always the best fit.
Dr. Elias Traboulsi, a pediatric ophthalmologist at Cleveland Clinic, says the FDA wants parents to know that age is not the only factor to consider.
"So, yes, indeed it is a very important factor, an essential factor, but not the only one. So, it's not just my child wants contact lenses and they are responsible equals he gets them. There should be more thought into it and more caution about it," explained Traboulsi.
FDA researchers cite a 2010 study in the journal Pediatrics. It looked at the number of children taken to the emergency room each year for complications related to medical devices.
It found about 25% of the injuries were related to contact lenses. The most typical problems are infections and eye abrasions, which are often caused by a lack of hygiene. That's why the FDA is warning parents who are considering contacts
for their children to gauge their child's maturity level and whether they can handle the daily responsibility.
Traboulsi says this is not always easy because every child is different.
"Individualize the case," he advised. "Of course, including responsibility and taking care of the contact lenses and so on, but also gauge in the office how badly the child wants the contact lenses or how necessary it is to wear the contact lens."
You can read more on the FDA's consumer update on kids and contact lenses, including safe wearing instructions and how to avoid a trip to the ER, at www.FDA.gov.

KaplaCraft Resource Pack is a smooth asset pack with some hard! Surfaces are in a redesign adaptation i will include soon more compositions i have as of recently textured the fundamental things like grass, stone, cobble, etc. Besides, the colors of this pack are darkish however the shade doesn't make a difference in light of the fact that it looks extraordinary. The main awful consider this pack is the way that it is not totally finished, so the engineer is as of now dealing with it. Items are the most imperative component when you need to get or finish something, so what's the reason we may as well give careful consideration to the portions of what you completing so the consequence could be astounding. Likewise, my most beloved surfaces are for midsections and wood boards, yet there could be other that you will think about to be all the more generally outlined than the one I like.
