Bagel Talk Inc. in Elmont, NY
One morning I got breakfast from Bagel Talk Inc. in Elmont, NY. This little store is located in the back corner of a shopping center, right next to an Italian restaurant. Both stores seemed so small and close together that at first I thought they might be connected. Turned out they weren't.
I had an egg and cheese sandwich on a sesame bagel. I was initially considering getting a bagel and cream cheese, but then decided that since the temperature outside was just pushing 30°F, I'd go with something warm. The freshly scrambled eggs did the trick. No complaints here.

Ah Law Kitchen in Elmont, NY
Just as the first snowflakes began to fall starting a big snowstorm, I picked up Chinese take out from Ah Law Kitchen in Elmont, NY. I was considering eating my food here, but their heater was broken. I was cold as I sat waiting for my food, watching the owner attempt to fix the heat, so I took the food back to a warmer location.
I started with a scallion pancake appetizer. I love these things...
I also had the shrimp with broccoli lunch special. It came with huge shrimp, plenty of broccoli, and carrots in a brown sauce. This came with a side of brown rice. The lunch was supposed to come with a wonton soup too, but they forgot to put it in the bag. By the time I noticed, I didn't feel like going back.
I liked the food from Ah Law Kitchen, although I wasn't happy about not getting my soup!

Christmas in New York
On the countless lists on the internet concerning the top Christmas destinations around the world, New York seems to always show up. Good thing, because a few days before Christmas, I ended up in New York City and did some Christmastime sightseeing. The adventure started out in Bryant Park with their giant Christmas tree...
It was cold. The fountain in the park was covered in icicles.
They had a huge ice skating rink in the park. Being that I was in New York at Christmastime in below freezing temperatures, I decided I had to rent some skates just for the experience.
Didn't plan on skating for long, but I ended up being on the ice for about two hours!
After skating, I wandered over to Rockefeller Center while looking for food.
Rockefeller Center had a bigger tree, but Bryant Park's ice rink was better!
I finally ended my night by buying a potato knish from a street vendor on the corner in front of Rockefeller Center. Earlier I went looking for the 53rd & 6th Halal Cart that I've read good things about, but they weren't there. So at midnight in the freezing weather, I decided to end my adventures with food for the night and settled on the knish to hold me over.
I've had much better knishes in the past, but I wasn't expecting too much from a street vendor. It was tasty enough. I should have bought some chestnuts too!
Merry Christmas!

Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza in Orlando, FL
I've read plenty of good reviews of Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza in the Whole Foods Shopping Center in Orlando's Sand Turkey District. Anthony's slogan is "Pizza Well Done." When the waitress came over, she gave us a speech that broke down to "We burn our pizza. Warning you now so you won't send it back when the crust is black." It seemed like a funny gimmick to me, to specialize in burnt pizza, but I gave it a try anyway.
I was really quite surprised with the pizza. My hopes really weren't all that high, but it was really tasty. It wasn't necessary the best around, but it was still pretty good. I'd eat here again! Although there is one complaint I had. I know Anthony's is sandwiched between the tourist attractions and some of Orlando's most expensive restaurants, but that is no excuse not to give free refills on drinks. People expect free refills...
The cheese pie was served, and the crust was indeed black around the edges. I gave it a try, and it was a really tasty pizza. The crust was thin and didn't really have the burnt taste I was expecting, the coal oven actually gave it a really nice flavor. I did find it a bit strange having black hands from all of the charcoal after picking up the slice, but I guess that's part of the novelty of coal oven pizza. The cheese wasn't overloaded, the pie had a good amount of the salty mozzarella. The sauce was slightly spicy and really tasty. Anthony's makes little pools of their sauce rather than spreading it evenly around the whole pizza. I guess this makes the pizza look more gourmet, but I know a few people that have issues with pies like this. I personally don't mind the sauce puddles, as long as the sauce tastes good.

Tailgaters Smokehouse at UCF
I ate at Tailgaters Smokehouse in the shopping area surrounding the UCF Arena in Orlando. Tailgators is a sports bar, and the as my meal progressed, the restaurant fit perfectly into the stereotype of sports bars having bad food. But it wasn't just the food, service was bad here too.
Moral of the story: Avoid the chicken from Tailgaters.
I ordered a Chicken Cheesesteak sandwich, served with tater tots. After a very long wait with a very inattentive waitress, our food was finally served. The sandwich was a bit smaller than I was expecting and was very bland. Couldn't taste any seasoning whatsoever on the chicken and the bread reminded me a bit too much of a hot dog roll than what cheesesteaks are normally served on. I did like the tater tots though.While the sandwich wasn't all that, definitely not worth the $12 it cost me total for the meal, it was edible and I finished the food. I really shouldn't have finished though because the food left some sort of coating on the inside of my mouth that I could not get rid off. It was a slimy feeling and tasted sort of bitter. Drinking water would not remove it. Eating something else didn't get rid of the coating, and brushing my teeth (multiple times) didn't help either. Whatever this was, it was very unpleasant and I can't say I've experienced a bad taste in my mouth that was so persistent elsewhere. Interestingly enough, I kept this to myself until a few hours later when a friend brought up the bad taste in her mouth from her grilled chicken sandwich...
Moral of the story: Avoid the chicken from Tailgaters.

Boba Tea from Bento Cafe in Orlando, FL
I had a Mango Boba Tea from Bento Cafe in The Plaza in Downtown Orlando. While I was pleased with the food here on a previous visit, their boba tea was a disappointment. It tasted like plain taro milk tea to me with no hint of mango. Lollicup still has the best boba tea in Orlando...

Hamburger Mary's in Orlando, FL
I ate at the Hamburger Mary's on Church Street in Downtown Orlando. The restaurant is one of the few open businesses in the sad and mostly abandoned shell of the former tourist district known as Church Street Station. Besides from Amura, it seems most restaurants in this area of downtown don't last very long when they open (or reopen for a second time), so I wonder how long Hamburger Mary's is going to hold out.
The meal started with an order of Mary-Mac & Cheese Balls. Deep fried macaroni and cheese is just wrong in my opinion. To me, these should be relegated to the disgusting carny food at the fair. Pasta is definitely not meant to be breaded and deep fried.
I had a Bird of Paradise sandwich. It consisted of turkey, bacon, avocado, tomato, cheese, and mayonnaise on wheat bread. I was initially surprised to see that the sandwich had actual roasted turkey rather than the normal sliced cold-cut deli turkey that restaurants normally serve on sandwiches. It was a very tasty sandwich, served with a side of fries.
Somebody I ate here with who has pretty conservative world viewpoints was very disappointed that there were no shows going on at Hamburger Mary's on the night we went. Interesting...

Clock Family Restaurant in Auburndale, FL
I've known of Clock Family Restaurants for years, but I had never eaten in one. One day while in Auburndale, FL, I finally got to try a Clock.
I had a turkey ruben sandwich which consisted of turkey, cheese, sauerkraut, and thousand island dressing on bread. While the sandwich wasn't horrible, it wasn't exactly the best I've had. They were very stingy with the sandwich fillings, both with the turkey and sauerkraut. The onion rings that came as the side were really good though. Overall, nothing worth returning to...

The Taco Maker in Davenport, FL
I happened to be looking through a coupon book and found some coupons for a place called The Taco Maker. I had never heard of them, but I took the coupons just in case I ever came across The Taco Maker. Later that day, I was in Davenport, FL in the strip mall that sits on the former site of the Circus World and Boardwalk & Baseball amusement parks. As luck would have it, I spotted The Taco Maker hidden away at the end of the mall and decided to stop.
I got out my coupon for "Free Crustos," not having a clue to what Crustos were and entered the restaurant. It turned out that Crustos were fried tortillas covered with cinnamon and sugar. They seemed very similar to Taco Bell's Cinnamon Twists. They were okay for what they were, but Crustos were not a dessert I would purchase in the future if I didn't have a free coupon.
While I did not try anything else, I wasn't too impressed with what I saw as far as the rest of The Taco Maker's menu. Nothing on their menu really made me want to return. As far as the whole mall goes, I'd rather a circus themed amusement park still be there rather than some chain retail stores...

Kilwin's in Celebration, FL
I ate a lemon sorbet waffle cone from the Kilwin's in Celebration, FL. I have no complaints. Simple ice cream like this is so much better than what you get from all the Cold Stones and Marble Slabs where you get a half melted mass of ice cream by the time they mix in your toppings.

Happy Teriyaki in Longwood, FL
I had dinner at Happy Teriyaki in Longwood, FL. This place has been here for a really long time, as long as I have lived in the area. They never seem busy, but must be doing something right to still be around after all this time. Their menu is mostly Japanese/Sushi with some Chinese items mixed in.
I had a bowl of Udon Soup. This huge bowl of soup came filled with chicken, shrimp, fish cakes, a fried egg, assorted vegetables, and udon noodles, all in a clear broth. It was really tasty and was way too much food! The egg was a bit too runny for my liking, but otherwise I had no complaints!

Celebration Town Tavern
I was on the touristy section of 192 and decided to head to Celebration for dinner. On this visit to the planned, disnified community, I ate at the Celebration Town Tavern. They seemed to specialize in seafood, so I ordered the Blackened Pacific Mahi Sandwich. The fish had a nice spicy flavor to it, but I found it to be sort of boring for a sandwich. The sandwich needed something else going on, something more than the meat and bread. At the very least, the standard sandwich vegetables would have been nice. The sandwich came served with fries and baked beans. I liked the beans, but the fries were kind of soggy, as if they were sitting out for a bit too long. Overall, the food from Celebration Town Tavern was pretty average. Nothing horrible, but it's definitely not going to have me rushing back any time soon. A little on the expensive side too...

Qdoba at UCF
I had a pulled pork burrito from Qdoba in the UCF Student Union. I've had pork tacos before, but never a pork burrito, and never from a big chain. The burrito was stuffed with pulled pork, peppers, onions, black beans, rice, salsa, sour cream, and cheese. The pork did taste okay, but I don't think I would order it again. Too much meat in a restaurant where my favorite menu item is the vegetarian burrito. The lack of guacamole is what really killed the burrito for me, but it wasn't worth $1.50 in my opinion to have a little scoop of mashed avocado added.

"Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them." John 7:38
Jesus speaks powerful words to the Disciples. He shares with them the true source of strength and power. They have the teachings, they have the teacher, but they lack the power to accomplish the super natural. Their circumstances had improved! They were closer to the promise! They were empowered by the Word Himself! And yet, they were only informed and led. The watched in awe as Jesus performed miracles, learning from His walk, privy to insider information, wiser than most, because they were chosen by the source the receive revelation beyond the general teaching, yet still, they lacked.
The reality, they were still not completely aware of the how close they were, and just who they had been chosen to follow and receive. Jesus sets the backdrop for the fullness of the covenant that God was in the process of completing. God's plan was not only to restore relationship with His creation, but to empower His creation to not only look like Him in regards to character, but in relationship to His power. God, the unselfish, generous God, not only would give mankind access to Him, and the authority accomplish through the name of Jesus, but would supply them with the same power to do even greater works than He himself did during His time on earth.
This power would give us the potential to do the extraordinary on earth! That power, The Holy Spirit.
Upon reading this passage, I saw the disciples as faucets, able to bring forth living water to any situation. The stood before me as vessels of potential, housing a power that could both erode and break through any situation. We too are faucets! We have this same power, but we are off! Our handles are set to block the flow of the Spirit. We harness its power, grieving it by locking it, and restricting it, causing that which is alive and active to sit in a dormant state. Our power is "standby". Standby power means that it is connected to the power source, ready to be used, but not being drawn. Situation after situation can be handled by cutting on its power, but they remain unresolved because we will not open up and allow the Spirit to flow.
In my head, I saw a new bar of soap in the sink under a constant drip. I could see the physical change the next morning because of the drip. I imagined leaving the soap there not just under a drip, but under a constant flow. I could see the dent in the soap! Then I imagined standing back and opening up the faucet for maximum flow. I could see the not only the soap being impacted, but the sink being filled and the things on the sinks edge being saturated by the contact of the waters flow.
If only we would open up! If only our lives were just one constant flow. If only we could see ourselves walking in the Spirit, yielding to its power and to its lead in our lives. If only we could see ourselves, not on standby, cutting the flow on and or, or not drawing from its power at all! We could change not only our lives and circumstances, but we could change the world! There is a world waiting for you to connect and to utilize your power. Will you remain dormant? Will you keep your mouth closed? Will you stay in the confines of your home? Will you watch injustice? Will you walk in power and authority? Will you believe and will you flow?
We have too many people that believe and will not flow! Unlike the disciples in this text, we are not lacking! We are filled, but not willing! We need an army of believers that understand that they are armed with the greatest power ever given. More powerful than any nuclear device, our temples are filled with that which can cast out demons, heal the sick, raise the dead, restore families…. We need people that will flow!
The month of November for The Body Church will be the opportunity to flow! In faith, we are walking firm towards our destiny and God's unfolding promise. For the first 21 days of the month, members of each Discipleship Group (DG) are begin asked to fast, drinking water on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, as well as denying themselves one item of their choosing. During this time, each Disciple is asked to fast, seeking God about whom they are to witness too, and how they can best serve in the community service projects. We know God will give you strength and the focus needed to get closer to him, as well as further discipline yourself to strengthen your faith walk. We also believe God will reveal to you the people whom the Holy Sprit has prepared for you to bare witness too. Be prayerful, and may the Lord continue to be your strength!

Hertha Berlin have signed Borussia Dortmund attacker Julian Schieber, while Hamburg have completed the signing of Pierre-Michel Lasogga from Hertha.
On Thursday, Hertha and Dortmund reached agreement over the transfer of attacker Schieber, 25, who scored only six times in 56 appearances.
Kicker reported that Hertha will pay around three million euros for the player, who said he had enjoyed his time at Dortmund and added: "I've learned a thing or two from Jurgen Klopp, trained every day at the highest level and played in a Champions League final [as a substitute].
"These are things that will stay with me. We are parting on amicable terms, and that makes me very happy."
Hertha sporting director Michael Preetz told the club's official website he was delighted that Schieber, who has signed a four-year deal, had joined, describing him as "a forceful striker who is dangerous."
Meanwhile, Hamburg wrapped up a permanent deal for Lasogga, who scored 13 goals in 20 games last season to help the club secure Bundesliga survival.
Kicker said he would cost in the region of 8.5 million euros, with a contract until 2019.

Water Polo Men: Day 3: SRB 16 CHN 9
Serbia walked into the next round with three victories, beating a stubborn China 16-9 in their Group C encounter. While Serbia would be expected to win comfortably, Rick Azevedo, China's coach from the USA, seems have steeled the team into a more cohesive unit, utilising its tremendous firepower.China worked hard until the end of the game, especially against such
a powerful team like Serbia. China's brand of water polo is infectious,
as different as it is from Serbia's.
The man with the new baby, Filip Filipovic, opened the scoring and Serbia led 4-1 at the quarter break. It could have been higher is Dusan Mandic had not had his penalty attempt blocked by Honghui Wu.
Each time Serbia took a two-goal margin in the second period, China hit back until Dusko Pijetlovic scored the first of his three goals just before Halftime for 8-5.
This stretched to 11-5 early in the third quarter, then became 11-7and the n 13-8 by the final break.
Pijetlovic's goal from wide on the two-metre line after a centre-forward drift, was excellent. He scored Serbia's 14th goal and the match rounded out to 16-9, a good result for both teams.
Serbia has won six of seven matches against China, only losing a World League encounter in 2010 — Serbia's biggest international defeat at 17-4. Serbia went on to win the World League that year, beating Montenegro in the final.

Milos Cuk (SRB):
"At the beginning of the match we were too laid back, but in the following quarters everything was fine."
Stefan Mitrovic (SRB):
"It is still morning, so we are so tired. We weren´t concentrated on the game and our tempo slowed down. This was the last match in our group, we´re in the first place and that´s the most important thing."
Filip Filipovic (SRB):
"This is my first game as a father and it feels great, but this is a team effort and the team is most important."
Gojko Pijetlovic (SRB):
"We had a bad start. We were expecting it to be easy but were not expecting all their goals in the first half."
Weiqing Ge (CHN):
"We are not upset for the result because to score nine goals against such a strong team as Serbia is good enough for our level. We were weak facing the powerful counter- attacks of Serbia. We have learnt how to play, now we need to learn now how to win."
Ning Pan (CHN):
"We are used to playing against Serbia, since we have met them for the last four times in the same group. I´m tired of meeting them; they are still too strong for us. We were sure we couldn´t beat them, even at halftime when the difference in goals wasn´t that big."
Rick Azevedo (CHN Head Coach):
"Serbia is a very strong team. They are our teachers and we are their students. In this game, we had good defence but we have been weak in counter-attack. We are a young team, we have been playing together for only four years. Our goal in this tournament is to accumulate experience, to play as many matches as possible, and to grow to prepare for the next Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro."

TripAdvisor selects Ambergris Caye and San Ignacio Town as Best Destinations to Visit in Central America
Best Destinations in Central America: San Ignacio Town & Ambergris Caye
TripAdvisor, one of the most respected travel sites in the world has selected Ambergris Caye and San Ignacio Town as two top destinations for travelers to visit in Central America.
Ambergris Caye was ranked as the #1 best destination to vacation while San Ignacio Town was rated #7 in the list.
"San Pedro is "La Isla Bonita" that Madonna made famous. Now it's a tourist mecca, but still boasts great beaches and plenty of dive shops so you can enjoy the sun, sand, and sea. Plan a side trip to Caye Caulker while you're here; it is less developed and more laid back, and has its own splendid swimming areas," reads the description of Ambergris Caye on TripAdvisor's website.
See also: The Best Destinations to visit in Belize
Meanwhile San Ignacio Town was described as follows: "It's true: parts of Belize are getting touristy. But San Ignacio remains rustic, making it a great base for budget-friendly tropical adventure travel. Canoe on the Macal River, or walk to the Mayan ruins at Cahal Pech (just be warned: it's uphill)."
Other destinations in Central America that made it in the list include places in Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panama and Costa Rica.

The most difficult time, food-wise, is that period between last frost and first harvest. The air starts to warm up, layers are shed and life shows signs of its return. It is the lag between that moment of relief from the suppressing weight of winter, and the frivolity of spring that gets to me. Not that I am not grateful to leave the house with just a quick throw of a jacket nor am I blind to the beauty of a field of wildflowers. None of this ends up on my plate, and the dearth of "just picked" is downright depressing.
I have nascent lettuces that sprouted during the ping ponging weather of the past month but they are a mere inch tall, and I would have had to sowed seeds throughout the entire backyard in order to make a micro-greens salad. My tray of seedling that have been nurtured in a warm, sun-drenched spot in the house have sprouted, and they will hopefully present plenty of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and pinto beans come August. The sorrel has re-emerged but I dare not snip a leaf yet. A couple of early rising asparagus have heard the alarm that spring is here – not yet enough to make a meal around, but I will try.
Perhaps, the greatest April Fools joke is the belief that nature will respond immediately to this warming trend and allow me to harvest a basket of English peas for tonight's dinner. Unfortunately, I fear not, and so I wait and struggle to think what do I feed my family tonight. It is this in between time that makes me summon all of my culinary resources to create a moment that is as satisfying as a wedge of watermelon that is ten minutes from the vine.
Wild Mushroom Strudel - yields 6 to 8 servings
2 pounds assorted wild mushrooms such as shiitakes, oysters, hen of the woods
1/4 cup dried morel mushrooms
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 shallots - sliced thin
2 garlic cloves - diced
1/4-cup brandy
1/4 cup pine nuts - lightly toasted; roughly chopped
1/2 cup Italian parsley - leaves only, chopped
1/8 cup thyme - leaves only, chopped
Salt and pepper
1/4-pound Phyllo dough - at room temperature
1/2-pound butter - melted
Clean the mushrooms with a damp kitchen towel and roughly chop them.
In a fine mesh colander rinse the morels under running water to rid them of any dirt and grit. Soak the morels in 1/2 cup of boiling water for 30 minutes. Roughly chop the morels and reserve its soaking liquid.
Heat a 10-inchsauté pan to hot and add the olive oil. Sauté the shallots until lightly golden and then add the garlic and, the fresh mushrooms and continue cooking for 5 minutes. Add the brandy and morels along with the mushroom liquid. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the liquid has evaporated. Mix in the pine nuts, herbs and season with salt and pepper. Cool the mushroom mixture.
Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees.
Lay a sheet of phyllo out flat and using a pastry brush lightly paint the sheet with the melted butter. Always start brushing the phyllo with melted butter from the outer edges working your way inward as the phyllo starts to dry on the outer fringes first. Place an additional 5 sheets on top of this first one buttering each layer. You must hold the phyllo you are not working with spread out flat under a damp kitchen towel in order to prevent it from drying out. Spread half of the mushroom mixture along the length of the bottom third of the phyllo. Then carefully roll up the phyllo over the mushroom mixture and continue to roll the mixture completely up into a tight log. Once you have rolled the strudel half way you will have edges that you should fold in just like if you where wrapping a gift, and then continue to roll the strudel completely up. Transfer to a parchment lined baking tray. Cut three to four slashes in the top of strudel. These cuts allow steam to escape and helps prevent the strudel from bursting. Lightly brush the phyllo with some melted butter. Repeat this with the remaining mushroom mixture. Place the strudels in the oven and baked for 15 minutes or until golden and crisp. Slice the strudel on an angle while warm and serve.

In three short days a few Cleveland area photographers will have the opportunity to look for the light as they participate in the 3rd Annual Help-Portrait Cleveland event.
This annual event is called Portraits of Hope and it is our desire to leave the approximately 20 families we will photograph with a sense of hope. A belief that despite their current situation things will soon turn around for them.
We are looking for that light or sparkle in the eyes of children and parents. The sparkle that says in this moment – Life is good. This is one of my favorite events of the year and I hope they can feel and experience the joy that we are attempting to share with them.
If you would like to share in this experience we will be at the Salvation Army of Greater Cleveland's Harbor Light facility 1710 Prospect Ave. from 1 p.m. – 5 p.m.

The "Set of Multilaterally Agreed Equitable Principles and Rules for the Control of Restrictive Business Practices", was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in its resolution 35/63 (December 1980). It is, so far, the only fully multilateral code in existence on competition law and policy.
UNCTAD, in application of its mandate in the Set, holds the Intergovernmental Group of Experts on Competition Law and Policy (IGE on CLP) annually and organizes a Review Conference at Ministerial level every five years. This year, the Conference the Sixth Review Conference will be held at the Palais des Nations in Geneva from the 8 to the 12 of November 2010.
The Sixth Review Conference, which replaces the IGE on CLP for this year, is open to all member States of UNCTAD, as well as selected civil society and private sector representatives. Country delegations will be invited to be headed by Ministers and to include the heads of their competition authorities.
The Sixth Review Conference will, inter alia, assess the application and implementation of the UN Set on competition in its 30 years of existence, and discuss proposals for its improvement. As decided by the IGE on CLP at its July 2009 session in its agreed conclusions, the Sixth Review Conference will take up the following issues for better implementation of the Set:
As has become customary, the Sixth Review Conference is expected to adopt a comprehensive resolution, expressing consensus views on the UN Set and competition law and policy in general and giving guidance to the UNCTAD secretariat as to its activities in this field in the five years ahead.
The Sixth United Nations Conference to Review all Aspects of the Set of Multilaterally Agreed Equitable Principles and Rules for the Control of Restrictive Business Practices is scheduled to be held from Monday 8 to Friday 12 November 2010.
The Sixth United Nations Review Conference will mark the thirtieth anniversary of the adoption of the United Nations Set of Multilaterally Agreed Equitable Principles and Rules for the Control of Restrictive Business Practices (United Nations Set).
The session will open in Room XVII on the 1st floor of the Palais de Nations, Geneva, at 10 a.m. on Monday 8 November.
This ministerial meeting will be opened by the Secretary-General of UNCTAD and provide an opportunity for ministers, heads of competition authorities and senior officials of member States of UNCTAD to discuss competition issues at the national level and international voluntary cooperation, including with existing networks of competition authorities, and to promote the use of competition law and policy as tools for achieving economic growth and domestic and international competitiveness (Accra Accord, para. 104). In this connection, the Conference will assess the experience gained so far in the implementation of the United Nations Set and make recommendations for possible areas of improvement and effective implementation.

I'm a fan of bicycles — I own two — and I'm fascinated with the workmanship and performance of the high-end bikes.
Some bikes perform so well that their riders blend into, and often keep up with, motor-vehicle traffic. I was traveling down a downtown Houston street and noticed a cyclist pedaling in the lane to my right at maybe 20-25 mph. A problem occurred when we came to a stoplight. The rider was distracted and hit the pickup in front of him. The tailgate was open, and the cyclist flew into the pickup bed and crashed into the cab. He was wearing a helmet and was shaken but not badly injured.
I've even seen cyclists motivating at fast clips, several abreast, in front of cars on mountain highways.
It makes me a bit edgy when cyclists blend with motor-vehicle traffic. There are weight and, often, speed disadvantages for bikes and riders vs. cars, trucks and SUVs.
Have you experienced this? Are bicyclists pedaling over the edge when they mix with motor-vehicle traffic?

Sylvan Ebanks-Blake has joined Ipswich Town until the end of the season and we are all wondering what kind of impact he will make.
The former Plymouth striker has not come to Suffolk to warm the bench and he will be one of the higher paid players at the club. Once he is fully fit he should be able to hold down a starting position in the side with ease as he is a consistent goalscorer at Championship level. However, the question many are asking is; how will he fit into the side?
From what I have seen and heard of Ebanks-Blake I believe he needs the right type of striker alongside him to get the most out of him. I have my doubts as to whether a front two of Ebanks-Blake and David McGoldrick would work well, it seems far more likely that the new man would benefit from playing alongside Daryl Murphy.
If that is the case, then Mick McCarthy will have some very difficult decisions to make regarding his starting line-up. The Ipswich boss will need to decide whether he is better off dropping McGoldrick to the bench or playing two strikers that might not work well together. Another alternative will be to play all three strikers in a 4-3-3 or possibly rotate the strikers regularly depending on the opposition.
However, Ebanks-Blake won't be fully fit until the end of January and the obvious decision will be to only use him as a substitute early on anyway.
It would be unfair to expect a lot from the clubs new man in January and February as he been out of action for so long. I am expecting the former Wolves striker to not be at his best until later on in the season.
Obviously it is difficult to know what to expect as a lot will depend on how the player has been looking after himself whilst injured. When a long-term injury hits, some players go off the rails and never get back to their best whilst others bounce back straight away.
Another issue worth addressing is that of the other strikers at the club and the wage structure. It is safe to assume that someone will have to leave the club in order to finance this deal and even if they did not need to, the club would struggle to give all their strikers enough playing time to keep them happy.
It wouldn't surprise me if Jack Marriott went back out on loan in January and one of the clubs back-up strikers will probably leave permanently. Frank Nouble has been progressing well and has actually forced his way back into the starting line-up of late, so I can't see him leaving.
The likely option will be to sell Paul Taylor as the former Peterborough man will be on first team wages and has hardly featured at all when he has been available.
Despite any negatives, the great aspect of this deal is that Ebanks-Blake has only been signed until the end of the season. To me it seems like this puts the Tractor Boys in a good position to get the best out of the situation come the end of the season.
If Ebanks-Blake flops completely or gets another long-term injury then we only have to pay him until the end of the season. On the other hand if he hits some good form then the club are in a solid position to retain him for the following season. Everyone involved in this deal deserves a lot of credit because what ever happens it is a win win situation for the club.

"East Cactus Road my thoughts...."
Busy, fun and scenery is wonderful in this area. Lots of dessert landscaping and it takes you i believe up to Pinicale Peak or one of those. Been a long time since i lived there. I remember allot of it though as the people and schools were pretty good. At times busy during rush hours but other than that it is a pretty normal road and lots of places to go and transportation is good.

"Very disappointed because of some hype"
I was told that this area and street was a great place, and I looked at the prices, and by doing this you would think that it would be somewhat nice. I interviewed some locals there and business's and they said it is not worth the money. I was going to invest in the area because of the location, but after visiting I don't think I will ever go back.

What's the best way to set up a consultation or an appointment with a flooring professional during the COVID-19 pandemic?
To safely set up a consultation or appointment with a flooring professional and avoid the risk of transmitting COVID-19, start with an online search. Contact the professional through a message and ask to set up a video or phone call to discuss the project. This lets the professional visualize what needs to be done without physically needing to be there. Discuss the project's timeline, budget, virtual payment capabilities and adherence to guidelines set forth locally and by the CDC.
How can I find out if a flooring professional is considered an essential COVID-19 service provider?
To find out whether a flooring professional is considered an essential service in the current coronavirus pandemic, consult your city or state's government website. To get a sense of the national recommendations, check CISA's Identifying Critical Infrastructure During COVID-19 webpage.
This page lists 16 different infrastructure sectors that are officially considered essential during this time. However, not all jurisdictions follow CISA's definitions of critical infrastructure. Ultimately, you should consult with your local government.
Are there ways to be safe if I hire a flooring professional when social distancing?
If you hire a flooring professional for an outdoor project, you may be able to avoid person-to-person contact with the pro. If you hire a pro for an indoor job, avoid physical contact, sanitize surfaces and use virtual payments like PayPal, Venmo, Google Pay and Square Cash App to complete transactions instead of using cash or checks. Determine a strategy with the flooring professional when you contact them.
Can I use digital payments to pay for floor installation, replacement or repairs?
Many local flooring professionals offer digital payments to conduct transactions for floor repairs, installation, replacement and more. This trend has been increasing during the COVID-19 pandemic, which is prompting flooring professionals to take payments through Venmo, Square Cash, PayPal, Google Pay, Zelle and other convenient platforms.
To ensure you can safely pay for the service, contact the professional beforehand and ask which services are acceptable. Take any measures necessary to comply with guidelines on social distancing.
Does a flooring professional need to enter my home?
If the flooring project is located inside your residence, performing the job would require the flooring professional to enter your home. This is not recommended by the CDC during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, if a flooring project takes place in a separate location outside of your home, the flooring professional will not need to enter your home.
Talk to flooring professionals in your area to see if it's necessary for them to enter your home. If so, you might want to postpone the project until social distancing guidelines are relaxed by the government.
Do flooring professionals offer remote or virtual services?
Because flooring work has to be done in-person, flooring professionals are typically unable to perform work virtually. If you come across a pro's profile that states they're offering remote services, message the pro to see what those services include.
If you plan to get indoor flooring installed once the pandemic is over, you can ask potential flooring specialists if they host virtual consultations through video calls and digital messaging. Compare flooring professionals in your area online to find the right fit, and book an appointment.
What type of flooring can you put over ceramic tile?
You can put carpet, laminate or engineered hardwood flooring over ceramic tile. Vinyl flooring can go over tile as long as the surface of the ceramic is even and smooth, without any crevices or bumps.
If this is your first time installing flooring over existing ceramic tile, consider hiring a tiling professional to do the work instead and avoid damages.
What's the best flooring for basements, kitchens and bathrooms?
When installing flooring in your home, keep in mind that some materials are better suited for certain rooms while others are not. Use this guide to help you make the best decision for your home.
Best Flooring for Basements
Basement flooring should be highly resistant to moisture, as many basements are below grade. Choosing the best flooring for basement spaces depends on what they'll be used for. For example:
- An epoxy basement floor is a durable finish for concrete.
- Vinyl basement flooring is generally waterproof or water-resistant.
- Laminate floors can be an affordable option, but they're often not 100% waterproof.
- Ceramic tile floors are also water-resistant.
If your basement isn't moist, carpet tiles are also an option — just make sure to use a moisture barrier.
Best Flooring for Kitchens
Kitchen flooring does more work than almost any floor in the house, so you'll want to choose a durable floor. The following are among the best flooring types for kitchens:
- Porcelain tiles can be fashionable, moisture-resistant, and cost less than stone or wood to install.
- Vinyl flooring can withstand dents, is generally inexpensive and it's easy to install.
- Linoleum flooring can be durable, easy to maintain and affordable.
- Wood flooring could be damaged by dropped pots and pans, furniture and pets. However, hardwood and engineered wood floors in kitchen spaces are still popular among homeowners.
Best Flooring for Bathrooms
Bathroom flooring must withstand high moisture levels while also being comfortable on bare feet. Here are some of the best flooring options for bathrooms:
- Porcelain tiles are generally comfortable, waterproof, stylish and less costly than stone or wood.
- Vinyl flooring is waterproof, cost-effective and can imitate wood convincingly.
- Natural stone can be expensive, but it's typically hard and durable.
Reach out to a flooring installation and repair professional near you to see which type you should install in your home.
How long does it take to install a hardwood floor and a concrete floor?
The time it takes to install hardwood and concrete floors varies based on the condition of your current floors, the size of your floors and other factors. Use the following information to gauge how long your flooring installation might take.
Time it takes to install a hardwood floor: Several days to 2+ weeks
Hardwood floor installation can take anywhere from a few days to more than two weeks, depending on demolition, wood type, the condition of your subfloor, total square footage of the project and installation method. Demolition is necessary if you have existing flooring you want to replace with hardwood floors. New-construction homes do not require this step, as the subfloor is primed and ready for floor installation.
During demolition, the flooring crew may find that your subfloor has damaged wood, uneven surfaces or other problems that must be addressed before the new wood can be laid down. Subfloor repair can take a few hours to several days, depending on what's hiding underneath your floor. The wood for your new floor generally arrives a few days before any work begins.
The actual wood installation may take several days or more, depending on the size of your home and what type of custom cutting and designs are desired. If your flooring is not prefinished, the unfinished wood must then be sanded and stained in the home to treat and protect your new investment. Typically, staining takes a full day to dry, and multiple coats are applied.
For a more accurate timeframe of how long it will take to install hardwood floors in your home, reach out to one of the best flooring companies near you.
Time it takes to install a concrete floor: 2 days to 1 week
Installing concrete floors can take anywhere from two days to a week, depending on what you need done. Some of the factors that can impact how long it will take to install concrete floors are:
- The size of the space
- The stain or finish
- The condition of your existing floor
- Whether you want intricate, simple or no designs
- The overall complexity of the project
To get an accurate estimate of how long installing concrete floors will take for your home, speak to a concrete contractor near you.
What is the best hardwood floor?
The best hardwood floors are made from durable, hard species like oak, maple and cherry. Solid hardwood is typically the better choice over engineered wood because you can sand out the scratches multiple times. However, engineered hardwood is better equipped for humid households.
Consider buying prefinished hardwood flooring, which can be more durable and simplify the installation process. Plus, prefinished wood often comes with a warranty from the factory.
Bamboo is another popular option, though be aware that some might not be as eco-friendly as others due to its production process. Some of the popular hardwood floor brands are Bruce, Carlisle and Lumber Liquidators.
To ensure you choose the best type of wood flooring for your home, hire one of the top hardwood floor installation professionals near you.

Through the fog of war, it looks like Russia is getting very chummy with the nation of Syria. Reports are that this week, Russian forces began to patrol the streets of Douma, a city that has been in the crosshairs of the civil war there for some time, and was at one point a stronghold for terrorists.
Russian military police have been deployed in the Syrian town of Douma as of Thursday, RIA news agency reported, citing Russia's defence ministry.
"They are the guarantors of law and order in the town," the ministry was quoted as saying.
As of Saturday morning, Russian forces were seen on the ground fulfilling the mission of keeping the peace.
This is not the first time that Russia has appeared to be cooperating with the Assad regime in Syria, and it most likely will not be the last. There is so much conflicting information coming from that part of the world which side any one nation is lined up on is very difficult to determine, but at this point, the Syrian-Russian partnership is very clear.
What that means in the larger picture remains to be seen.

Send by email:
The withdrawal of the G4S company from Israel is a great victory for BDS. Dr. Mustafa Barghouti, Secretary General of the Palestinian National Initiative, said that the withdrawal of the British company, G4S, from Israel and the closing of their offices represents another great victory that is crucial to the BDS movement against Israel. Dr. Barghouti also added that the closure of the G4S company offices specialized in escorting services, which invests more than $150 million in guarding Israeli prisons, where Palestinian prisoners are being tortured, confirms the effectiveness of the boycott movement. This withdrawal plays a role in escalating and widening new losses on the Israeli economy. Dr. Barghouti also commented that this remarkable achievement will help put pressure on other companies dealing with the Israeli occupation. It also confirms the efficiency of the boycott movement. He also explained that this withdrawal is proof of the importance of the boycott movement and its success which constitutes a real deterrent to Israel. It is important that this boycott movement gains support and strength to reach all over the world. Barghouti called on the Palestinian people to support the international movement by engaging in this boycott of Israeli goods in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

I like to wear heels but I love to wear flats. Because I work in an office environment, I typically wear heels to work every day. Flats are practical and comfortable, they are a perfect footwear choice for weekends or while I am out running errands. Flats work great for those occasions when I want to wear a fancy dress but don't want to look too dressy. I wear flats to dress it down. Personally, I think that the look of the flats depends on its quality. The higher the quality, the better it looks. Well-made flats are a bit pricey but they are well worth it. They are typically much more comfortable and durable. Pointy flats show the legs in full length, therefore they are the best choice to elongate your figure. I threw in the ultimate chic factor, a French beret to top of this look. This is without a doubt the most iconic emblem of the French style. With classy and effortless touch, J crew black and white flats complete my look. It's flat out fabulous!
I want to shine a light on a style expression that has no borders and I hope it makes your day brighter.

Lipinski Joined by Quigley and Durbin in Push for Funding for Railroad Safety Technology (July 6, 2015)
Representatives Dan Lipinski (IL-3) and Mike Quigley (IL-5), along with Illinois U.S. Senator Dick Durbin and officials from Metra, called for additional federal funding for positive train control (PTC) and other rail safety improvements today at LaSalle Street Station in Chicago. PTC uses GPS to track train movements and override human errors to prevent accidents like the one that occurred near Philadelphia on May 12 that killed eight people. Presently, most commuter and freight railroad companies, including Metra, say they will fail to meet a federally mandated deadline requiring full installation of PTC by the end of the year. Railroads that do not meet the deadline could face fines of up to $25,000 a day per track segment. A Federal Railroad Administration official told Congressman Lipinski during a recent Rail Subcommittee hearing that they might even shut down railroads that don't comply with the PTC mandate.
"Representing a district with a vast number of passenger and freight rail lines, I have always made rail safety a top priority on the Railroad Subcommittee," said Rep. Lipinski. "That is why back in 2008 I included language in a bill to create the Rail Safety Technology Grant program to help railroads install life-saving PTC more quickly. Unfortunately, Congress never fully-funded this program and commuter railroads like Metra have not been able to implement PTC. That is why I have joined with Rep. Quigley on a bill to reauthorize the grant program and to work together so that Metra can get federal help to install this critical safety technology."
"Implementing positive train control is vitally important to ensuring that our national rail system provides the utmost level of safety for the millions of passengers that use our passenger railroads each year," said Congressman Quigley. "But the scary thing is that our nation's commuter railroads are much farther behind on implementation than Amtrak. Congress has mandated this important rail safety technology, but has refused to fund it. With the deadline for implementation just months away, it's time for Congress to help our commuter railroads employ positive train control and prevent the kind of tragedies we recently saw on Amtrak."
Earlier this year, Reps. Lipinski and Quigley introduced the Reassuring Adequate Investment in Lifesaving Systems (RAILS) Act, which reauthorizes the Rail Safety Technology Grant program to improve the safety of our nation's railroads. In 2008, Congress established the PTC mandate for all railroads in the Rail Safety Improvement Act and Lipinski included language in that same bill to authorize the Rail Safety Technology Grant program through 2013 to assist railroads in meeting the mandate deadline. He and Congressman Quigley helped provide $60 million for the grant program in 2014, but Congress had failed to provide full funding over the years. In order to help railroads – especially commuter railroads – finish installing positive train control as soon as possible, the RAILS Act provides $200 million for each of the next five years for PTC safety technologies, rail integrity inspection systems, a system for electronic communication regarding hazardous material rail shipments, and other new rail safety items.
Rep. Lipinski is the most senior member from Illinois on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, serving on three subcommittees: Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials; Aviation; and Highways and Transit.

Meet the Sleep Specialist: Sleep Apnea
If you think about it, you spend about a third of your life asleep, so it's not surprising that various problems can come up in that amount of time. As a sleep medicine specialist, I take care of patients dealing with disorders affecting sleep. Some of these problems include challenges with sleep schedules; patterns of sleepwalking, sleeptalking, or sleepeating; neurological disorders like narcolepsy, in which the brain doesn't regulate sleep normally; insomnia, which is the inability to fall asleep; and sleep-related breathing disorders like sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is one of the most common problems I see as a sleep specialist; it's a condition in which the airways become blocked during the night, causing patients to stop and start breathing repeatedly as they sleep. In many of these cases, we're able to work with patients to treat their conditions and dramatically improve the quality of their lives.
Understanding Sleep Medicine
After medical school, physicians will train for a few years in a residency, during which they can specialize in a certain field of medicine. I chose to specialize in neurology. After residency, there's the opportunity to then pursue a subspecialty and focus even more closely on one aspect of health—like sleep medicine. Sleep medicine is a multi-disciplinary subspecialty, because doctors trained in a variety of specialties are eligible to complete further training and become sleep specialists. I came from neurology, but my colleagues have trained as pediatricians, ear, nose and throat specialists (ENTs), psychiatrists, pulmonologists, internists, and more. It's truly beneficial (and fun!) to work with sleep specialists from these different backgrounds, especially when discussing challenging cases. Collaborating with this diverse team ensures that patients receive the best care possible.
What drew me to subspecialize in sleep medicine was the ability to have a strong impact on a patient's quality of life. Sleep disorders are fairly common, and we've got effective treatments that enable us to intervene and change the course of a patient's health. Many of my patients with sleep apnea struggle to stay awake during the day and have trouble working and taking care of their families. When we get them on the right treatment and they're able to feel rested throughout the day, drive without the fear of falling asleep at the wheel, excel at the office and at home, and enjoy their lives more, it's very rewarding for me.
A Changing Field
Medicine is always rapidly changing, and this rings true for sleep medicine as well. One of the field's biggest developments in recent years involves the mainstays of sleep apnea treatment—the continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device and mask. A CPAP is a small medical device that sits on your nightstand and plugs into the wall. It's connected to a hose, which attaches to a mask that you place over your face. The CPAP filters and pressurizes the air in your bedroom, then pushes the air through the mask into your airways. This keeps your airways open so you continue breathing regularly throughout the night.
Historically, CPAP devices and masks were pretty cumbersome. They could be big and loud and a little bit awkward for patients to use. But in the last few years, we've seen some meaningful improvements in CPAP technology that have made them smaller, quieter, much more comfortable, and much easier to use. Modern CPAP machines can detect your breathing pattern, softening the air pressure as you exhale to make your breathing more natural. They might also have built-in sensors that analyze if there's tightness or resistance in the back of your breathing passages. When these devices detect tightness, they will then give you a stronger flow of air to keep the airways open. But if you go back into a lighter state of sleep, the machine will respond by lowering the air pressure. These devices tailor the air flow to the individual, improving the patient's comfort and more effectively treating sleep apnea.
CPAP masks have also improved. Today, they vary in size, shape, and functions, so each patient can address their own specific needs. A CPAP device and mask are not a one-size-fits-all treatment; we often need to adust or tinker with it to find the right match for someone. Fortunately, recent improvements are providing many options for patients, so almost everyone can find the ideal solution for them.
The Bottom Line on Sleep Apnea
I want my patients to know sleep apnea is a really common problem.

text: Manila, The Philippines - A witness in a Senate hearing on the extrajudicial killings in the Philippines has testified that he was a member of a death squad in the home city of President Rodrigo Duterte, and that the then-mayor himself ordered the killings of crime and drug suspects as well as the bombing of a mosque in Davao City. Senator Leila de Lima, chairman of the Senate committee on justice and human rights, presented on Thursday witness Edgar Matobato, who also claimed that Duterte's son Paolo, now the vice mayor of Davao, had ordered the killing of a businessman in 2014. "Our job was to kill criminals, drug pushers, petty robbers and rapists," Matobato said, adding that his group killed more than 1,000 people between 1988 and 2013. In a news briefing, Martin Andanar, a spokesman of the president, denied the allegations, saying: "I don't think he [Duterte] is capable of giving those orders." 'Accusations of madman' In a separate news report, Davao City Vice Mayor Paolo Duterte also denied the allegations, calling the witness a "madman". "What De Lima and this certain Matobato say in public are bare allegations in the absence of proof. They are mere hearsay," Duterte said. "I will not dignify with an answer the accusations of a madman." Inside Story: Can Rodrigo Duterte win the war on illegal drugs? In his testimony, Matobato said he was the triggerman of at least 50 of the murders in Davao. In one incident, he said he stabbed one of the accused criminals and pushed him out into the sea. He also claimed that his group was involved in the killing of a local radio commentator, Jun Pala, who was a critic of Duterte when he was still a mayor. Matobato also said that following the 1993 explosion that killed six people in Davao City's main Catholic church, the St Peter Cathedral, Duterte ordered a hit on a mosque in the city. He said that he was responsible for hurling a grenade at a mosque near a wet market in Davao. 'Bury them in quarry' The mosque explosion happened about eight hours after the church bombing. No one was hurt in that incident. "It seems like he wants to avenge the bombing of the cathedral," he said in Filipino, referring to Duterte, who allegedly also gave the order to grab and kill "Muslim" suspects, and "bury them in a quarry". Duterte served as mayor of Davao for more than 20 years. He last served as mayor in June 2016, when he took over as president of the Philippines. In May 2015 before he ran for president, Duterte admitted links to the reported Davao Death Squad. "Me? They are saying that I'm part of a death squad? True, that's true," he said in a mix of English and Visayan, in an interview with a local television station in Davao. Upfront (Arena): Duterte's drug war - Do human rights matter? Duterte was responding to the demands by human-rights groups to investigate more than 1,000 extrajudicial killings in Davao since the late 1990s, when he was also the city mayor. Reports have linked Duterte and the police force in Davao to the summary executions of alleged drug dealers, petty criminals and even street children. In 2012, the Philippine Commission on Human Rights recommended to government prosecutors to file murder charges against Duterte. But prosecutors refused to indict him and only police officers were charged and convicted of neglect of duty. During the same hearing on Thursday, Ronald Bato, the Philippine police chief, told senators that as of Thursday, at least 1,506 people had been killed in police operations against illegal drugs, while there were 2,035 murders by unknown asssailants that are under investigation. That brings the total to 3,541 people killed during Duterte's 78 days as president.

Do you consider yourself a free person? Ok, let me ask you a different question then. Have you ever thought about bonds and chains that might hold you back? What prevents you from moving forward and growing? What keeps you from reaching your goals? What limits your freedom?
You know, a few days ago I read a story about elephants who were standing in a row waiting on their trainer. These huge animals were held only by a small rope tied to their front leg. A passing-by man was astonished by this fact and asked for an explanation. The trainer told him that those elephants had been held by the same rope since they were little. It had been enough for them then. As they grew up, they were conditioned to believe they couldn't break away. So, they never even tried.
Sometimes, we have the same ropes. They are tiny. They are weak and almost invisible, but we allow them to hold us and we never even try to break free.
The first thing we need to do is to admit there are such ropes. Self-awareness is always the key. Let's look at a few examples, and maybe you will find your own chains and ropes.
- Fears
- Doubts
- Grudges
- Busyness
- Idols
- Addictions
- Pride
- Arrogance
- Frustrations
- Anger
- Worry
- Anxiety
- Greed
These are only a few possible chains. There might be many more. So, what are we going to do with them?
Being aware of such bonds is the first step. Next, you should try to take notice every time this feeling, emotion or a thought appears and tries to take charge. Giving it place and letting it control your actions and your life is the clear way to lose freedom.
After you notice the emotion and prevent it from controlling you several times in a row, it will lose power over you. It's like forming a good habit or getting rid of a bad habit. The first step – take notice. The next step – take action by confronting it. The third step – repeat and remember to condition yourself for future behavior.
Of course, there's more to be said on the topic of forming good habits, but I will just refer you to an awesome Neuroplasticity course on Udemy by Gregory Caremans. He explains it in very much detail and with a lot of exercises.
So, what chains are you trying to break these days? Share in the comments below. I would love to hear from you!

George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) composed 42 operas and 25 oratorios including Messiah with its famous Hallelujah chorus. But he is equally well known for his Water Music and Fireworks Music, which he wrote for the British kings George I and George II.
Handel was born in the same year as Johann Sebastian Bach and only around 150 kilometres away in Halle an der Saale. Although he moved away from Halle at the age of 18, Handel's legacy is still very much in evidence all around the town.
Each year in June, Halle stages the Handel Festival – venues include the George Frideric Handel Hall, which hosted its first events in 1998. The Handel House, the composer's birthplace, opened as a music museum in 1948. There's also a statue of Handel on the market square, facing west towards London, the city where his career really took flight.
Handel would never have been able to embark on a musical career without the support of the Duke of Saxe-Weissenfels, who allowed the seven-year-old boy to play for him on the organ. This is commemorated by a plaque at Augustusburg Palace in Weissenfels.
Handel's early success as an opera composer was in Hamburg. He had not even reached his 20th birthday when his first opera Almira was premiered. His operas were most appreciated in England, however, which explains why he spent almost 50 years of his life there. The English are to some degree justly proud of 'their' George Frideric Handel.

Agustina Quadri Adrogué (Laboratorio de Ecotoxicología y Contaminación Ambiental, Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata, Argentina) and colleagues have published in the Marine Pollution Bulletin on levels of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in Black-browed Albatrosses Thalassarche melanophris and Pintado or Cape Petrels Daption capense.
The paper's abstract follows:
"Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are accumulated through time and can exert different effect on ecosystems. POPs and Chlorpyrifos, a current use pesticide, were assessed in body feathers of males and females of Blackbrowed albatross (Thalassarche melanophris, BBA) and Cape petrels (Daption capense, CAP) during their nonbreeding seasons at the Patagonian Shelf, Argentina. Chlorpyrifos showed the highest values among all pollutants in both species (49.56–84.88 ng g−1), resulting from current agricultural practices. The pattern OCPs>PCBs>PBDEs was observed in both species, and CAP showed higher concentrations than BBA probably as a consequence of higher lipid mobilization and pollutants availability during dispersion. Non-significant differences between sexes about POPs levels were found; however a slight tendency was observed, females> males in CAP, and males>females in BBA. More attention and further studies are needed to understand seabirds' physiology and its relationship with the pollutants distribution in their tissues and considering breeding season."

Being told you are ugly is not nice, says Muvhango's Maumela Mahuwa
Muvhango actress Maumela Mahuwa, who is popularly known for her character the chief's wife Susan, has reflected on how far she's come despite her troubled childhood.
In a revealing interview with Drum magazine Maumela shared painful memories of how she's had to deal with people calling her 'ugly' for most of her life.Maumela revealed that looking back at what she calls her "dark past" she realises that it "overshadowed" her life until she made numerous changes.
"Being told you are ugly is not nice. When I agreed with them that I was ugly, I stopped loving myself," she told the publication.
Maumela explained that as a child she was told that she was too dark, her nose is flat and her lips are too big.
"I saw nothing beautiful in me. All the rejections in my life confirmed that something was wrong with me and I settled in my self-pity," she said.
But the good news is that after 12 years of working on her self-esteem Maumela is in a much better space.
Speaking to Sowetan earlier this year Maumela also spoke out about how growing up in poverty after being abandoned by her mother, who had no means of supporting her after going through a divorce.
Maumela explained how she had to wash dishes and scrape pots for left overs from neighbours as she was left to fend for herself for over a year.
Despite her incredibly troubled childhood the actress is making waves in the industry and was most recently nominated for Best TV Actress at the Fame Awards.

Papier Mache
The Persian art of papier maché was brought to the Himalayan region of northern India centuries ago. Artisans first soak used newspaper for several days until the paper disintegrates, then mixes it with cloth, rice, or straw to form a pulp. The mixture is molded, dried and cut into shape. Artisans coat the surface with glue paste, rub it smooth with baked clay, and paste layers of tissue papers. The base color and motifs are all created freehand with non-toxic paints, then burnished and coated with lacquer.
Papier Mache Artisans
The state of Kashmir is home to thousands of artisans who craft papier maché products for their livelihood. Once known as "Paradise on Earth," Kashmir suffered a dramatic decline in its once booming tourism industry due to violent territory disputes between India and Pakistan. Industry jobs are scarce and farming is impossible, so most villagers rely on craft production. With our design assistance, training and fair income partnership, this small group has expanded from 6 to 20 artisans. They now have access to new markets and are able to live better lives.
Shipping & Returns

I'm on Entanet ADSL and have been for a few years without any major issues other than the usual outages, etc. I have just a Netgear DG834 and no other devices on my setup.
In the past week or so, I've noticed that on two of my Android devices I am unable to connect to the Play Store, and the Speedtest app doesn't complete the upload speed test. Both devices work absolutely fine when on mobile data or when using another broadband connection. My Mac Laptop works fine over the same Wifi connection, as does my PC on the LAN ports.
I've tried swapping the ADSL modem/router for my spare, changing to a quiet Wifi channel, resetting settings, and pretty much everything else I can think of to fault-find. This all leads me to believe that the problem must lie with Entanet's network.
I was wondering if there's anyone else on here with an Entanet connection and an Android device that would be kind enough to test theirs to see if they have issues with the Play Store or other services?
I will contact Entanet if this persists, but due to the odd nature of the issue I thought it best to have absolute confirmation that the fault is not with my devices!
Many thanks

Campbell ready to roar for Brisbane Lions in AFLW final
AFLW: Sunshine Coast's Shannon Campbell is set to lace up for the Brisbane Lions in their second-straight grand final on Saturday and she's relishing every minute the opportunity provides.
After enduring a nail-biting wait, which relied on a number of results, the Lions earned a berth into the 2018 decider to take on Western Bulldogs this Saturday.
And after a gut-wrenching loss to the Crows by six points during last year's final, Campbell said the Lions were primed and hungry for the win.
The 21-year-old said the playing group were "extremely excited" to be heading into the final again and had welcomed the prospect of fighting for the silverware on enemy territory.
In fact, it's something Campbell believes has aided the Lions' preparations.
"This time I think we can enjoy it a little more," Campbell told Lions media.
"Last year was thrown at us and we all knew it was going to happen but this time we had to wait a little bit longer.
"I think we actually are able to take in this week a little bit more seeing that it's any away game and we don't have as many commitments leading up to it.
"We've kind of been able to just stay within our four walls and hopefully prepare for it really well this time and hopefully bring home the silverware this year."
The dynamic back said preparations during the week had even taken on a more laid-back approach following their dominant outing against GWS Giants in the final fixture round.
"I think we know when to switch on but it's definitely been a lot of fun and a lot of relaxing with training," she said.
Pending team announcements, Campbell isn't the only Coaster set to lace up for the Lions on Saturday, with Tahlia Randall and Sharni Webb also in the mix.
Another Sunshine Coast star is likely to earn a grand final appearance with Aasta O'Connor playing under the Western Bulldogs banner.
The Coastal flavour to the final is something Campbell was proud to see.
"Four Sunny Coast girls playing on the weekend is really awesome for the Coast and it's awesome to see four of us in there," she said.
The achievement, plus the success of the AFLW, had proven hugely beneficial to the region as well, according to Campbell.
"I was talking to Paul Tresise who is the regional manager on the Sunshine Coast and they've had quite a growth in female participation in the past couple of years not just from the Brisbane Lions aspect but just (due to) AFL women's in general really helping with the growth across Queensland, so it's been good," she said.
The Brisbane Lions will take on the Western Bulldogs in the AFLW grand final at Ikon Park in Melbourne from 12.35pm this Saturday.
This year was the second season of the AFLW.
