Simon went into the plants with a video crew and photographer and did a thorough inspection of both plants. "We found rat and rodent infestations and insects, including roaches," he says. "We found standing water next to and under finished products that were awaiting shipment. Leaks from the roof were leaking right on the production room floor, directly where the peanut products were sitting."
He says that at the Blakely plant, there were huge entry ports on the roof and the vents that a grown man could crawl through."The air ducts and vents are supposed to have grates over them but several of them did not have grates at all while others had grates that had corroded away," says Simon.
There were no employees in the plant—these plants were shut down at the beginning of this year. Simon and his crew were able to view the site with permission from PCA's bankruptcy trustee for use as evidence in his lawsuit. "This is the company's failure for creating an unsafe environment," says Simon. " It is management failure for not fixing it and it will be our failure if we don't hold them accountable and make sure it never happens again."
Ron Simon represents over 100 people affected by this outbreak including two families who have lost their loved ones.

A catalog of spectroscopic stellar parameters for stars in the TESS southern continuous viewing zone (CVZ) is now available and may prove a useful resource for TESS GI proposal preparation. Data taken by the High Efficiency and Resolution Multi-Element Spectrograph (HERMES) at the Anglo-Australian Telescope, as part of the TESS-HERMES survey, provides temperature, surface gravity, and metalicity for about 16,000 dwarf and subgiant stars with magnitudes 10<V<13.1, along with Bayesian estimates of stellar properties (distance, extinction, mass, radius, and age) using theoretical isochrones. Stellar surface gravity and radius are made available for an additional set of roughly 8,500 red giants. The TESS-HERMES catalog has identified over a hundred cool dwarfs that were flagged as giant stars in the TESS Input Catalog (TIC).
The TESS-HERMES survey website provides links to the catalog (.csv and .fits) and tables describing the content of the catalogs. An article describing the survey (Sharma et al. 2017) can be found on the arxiv.
We thank Sanjib Sharma, Dennis Stello, and the HERMES team for their hard work in making this resource available in time for GI Cycle 1.

A very happy, serene and holy Bakriid day wishes (28/11/09).
Bakriid or Id-ul-Zuha/Id-ul-Adha is one of the most celebrated festivals among Muslims all over the world. It is a day of sacrifice for the Muslims. The festival of sacrifice, when the Muslims of all over, sacrifice 'Bakri' (goat), is observed to commemorate the great sacrifice of Prophet Ibrahim who was so devoted, faithful and obedient to God's will that he unhesitatingly agreed to sacrifice his only son Ismail at the behest of God.
Id-ul-Adha means 'Festival of Sacrifice' or 'Greater Eid', a holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ismail as an act of obedience to God. It annually falls on the tenth (10th) day of the month 'Dhu-al-Hijjah' of the lunar Islamic calendar. The festivities last for three days or more depending on the country/region of observance. It occurs the day after the pilgrims conducting Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia by Muslims worldwide, descend from Mount Arafat. It is the latter of two Eid/Id festivals celebrated by Muslims, whose basis comes from the Quran. Like Eid al-Fitr (Ramzan/Ramadan), Eid al-Adha (Bakrid/Bakriid) begins with a short prayer followed by a sermon and with observances such as prayers, sacrificing a goat, sheep, cow or a camel and gifting to acquaintance and poor people.
According to legends, it all started with a dream in which Allah directed the patriarch Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ismail. It is said that it was to test him that Allah asked him to sacrifice his son on the altar at the mount of Mina near Mecca. Ibrahim, moved by his paternal feelings and yet determined to follow Allah's instructions blindfolded himself before sacrificing his son and only removed the blindfold after performing the act. When he opened his eyes, he found his son alive and smiling to his great joy. On the altar, a slaughtered lamb was seen instead. It was Ibrahim's faith in God/Allah and his son's faith in his father that were on test. The festival is to celebrate the strong faith of those devoted to Islam.
The festival coincides with the anniversary of the day when 'Quran' (the Holy book of Islam) was declared complete. It is from when many Muslims undertake Haj pilgrimage to Mecca and people offer prayers in mosques. On the day of Id, the pilgrims reach the grounds of Mina where they offer special prayers. Special delicacies and sweets are prepared on the occasion and are distributed after the Eid prayers to the family and friends. According to the Quranic text, the sacrifice of Abraham marked the end of the human sacrifices for the Semitic (Arabic) race and that surrendering one's will and purpose completely and unconditionally is the only sacrifice that Allah requires.
A very happy, joyful and cheerful Children’s Day wishes (14/11/09).
In India, Children's Day is celebrated on November 14th every year. This date marks the birth anniversary of independent India’s first Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru as he was very fond of children. Children's day is celebrated on this day in recognition of his lifelong passion and work for children. Jawaharlal Nehru (14th November 1889 – 27th May 1964) was a major political leader of the Congress Party, a pivotal figure in the Indian independence movement and the first and one of the longest-serving prime ministers of the Republic of India. He is popularly referred to as Panditji (Scholar) and Pandit Nehru. Since childhood, Nehru and his sisters; Vijaya Lakshmi and Krishna; lived in a large mansion called Anand Bhavan in Allahabad, and were raised with English customs, mannerisms and dressing. While learning Hindi and Sanskrit, they would be trained to converse fluently and regularly in English. Jawaharlal Nehru was a passionate advocate of education for India's children and youth, believing it essential for India's future progress.
As India's first Prime minister and external affairs minister, Jawaharlal Nehru played a major role in shaping modern India's government and political culture along with sound foreign policy. He is praised for creating a system providing universal primary education, reaching children in the farthest corners of rural India. Nehru's education policy is also credited for the development of world-class educational institutions such as the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT), the National Institutes of Technology (NIT) and the Indian Institutes of Management (IIM). Numerous public institutions and memorials across India are dedicated to Nehru's memory. The Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in Delhi and Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU) are among the most prestigious universities in India.
Nehru is credited for establishing a widespread system of affirmative action to provide equal opportunities and rights for India's ethnic groups, minorities, women, scheduled castes and scheduled tribes. Nehru's passion for egalitarianism meant that he put the state to work, to try and end widespread practices of discrimination against women and depressed classes, though with limited success in his lifetime. Nehru was hailed by many for working to defuse global tensions and the threat of nuclear weapons.
In his lifetime, Jawaharlal Nehru enjoyed an iconic status in India and was widely admired across the world for his idealism and statesmanship. His birthday, 14th November, is celebrated in India as Children's Day in recognition of his strong passion and work for the welfare, education and development of children and young people. Children across India are taught to remember him as ‘Chacha’ Nehru (Uncle Nehru). Nehru remains a popular symbol of the Congress party which frequently celebrates his memory. Congress leaders and activists often emulate his style of clothing, especially the ‘Gandhi cap’, and his mannerisms. Nehru's personal preference for the ‘Sherwani’ ensured that it continues to be considered formal wear in North India today; the ‘Nehru jacket’ is named in his honour due to his preference for that style.
In 1951, he was nominated for the ‘Nobel Peace Prize’ by the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC). Nehru is also known for his famous works in the field of literature such as 'The Discovery of India', 'Glimpses of World History' and the inspiring 'Letters from a Father to His Daughter', a collection of 30 letters written by Jawaharlal Nehru in 1928 to his daughter Indira Gandhi when she was 10 years old, teaching about natural history and the story of civilizations. In 1954 the United Nations General Assembly suggested that all nations should observe a ‘Universal Children's Day’ as a day of worldwide fraternity and understanding between children and of activity promoting the welfare of the world's children. The date of 20th November marks the day in 1959 when the Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989, and is often the day chosen by countries as their own designated day to observe Universal Children's Day. However, Children's Day is religiously celebrated in different countries on different dates with same significance and objective.
The day (November 14th) also marks World Diabetes Day. World Diabetes Day is the primary global awareness campaign of the diabetes world. It was introduced in 1991 by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the World Health Organization (WHO) in response to the alarming rise of diabetes complaints around the world. World Diabetes Day, held on November 14th every year, is a campaign that features a new theme chosen by the International Diabetes Federation each year to address issues facing the global diabetes community, that lasts the whole year. This marks the birthday of Frederick Banting who, along with Charles Best, first conceived the idea which led to the discovery of insulin in the year 1922.
A very happy, honoring and joyful State Formation Day wishes (01/11/09).
This is applicable to all the four South Indian states (AP, KN, KE, TN) and also MP, Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana (1966) and Chhattisgarh (2000). The criterion for formation of Indian States is Language. The formation of linguistic states is the single most important event in the history of South Indian languages, as it provided an opportunity for these languages to develop independently, each of them having a state to support.
At the time of British rule and prior to independence all the current south Indian states were known as Madras State (Madras Presidency, also known as Madras Province) as a whole entity. Madras made a significant contribution to the freedom movement in the early decades of the 20th century. Madras was the first province in British India where the system of dyarchy (or Diarchy, a form of government where power is shared between two joint authorities) was first implemented. The Presidency was dissolved when India became independent on August 15th, 1947. On January 26th, 1950, when the Republic of India was inaugurated, Madras was admitted as one of the states of the Indian Union. India became a Republic in the year 1950 and in same year linguistic provinces were formed.
On November 1st, 1956; Andhra Pradesh (AP) was formed with Hyderabad as its capital. Kerala (KE) and Karnataka (KN/Karunadu) states were formed on the same day, getting separated from Madras state. In 1968, Madras State was renamed Tamil Nadu (TN), meaning Land of Tamil. The name of the Mysore State was changed to Karnataka on November 1st, 1973. Madhya Pradesh (abbreviated as MP, meaning ‘Middle Province’), often called the Heart of India, is a state in central India. Its capital is Bhopal. Madhya Pradesh was originally the largest state in India (now, Rajasthan) when formed on November 1st, 1956 until November 1st, 2000 when the state of Chhattisgarh was carved out. Chhattisgarh was formed on November 1st, 2000 with Raipur as its capital. Rajasthan was formed from erstwhile province known as Rajputana which was merged into the Dominion of India. It encompasses most of the area of the large, inhospitable Great Indian Desert or Thar Desert. Jaipur, also popularly known as the Pink City, is the capital of Rajasthan.
Punjab (means 'Land of Five Rivers') in India, historically forms a part of the larger Punjab region, which includes the Pakistani province of Punjab and the North-West Frontier Province, the Indian states of Haryana and Himachal Pradesh, parts of Jammu and Kashmir and the Union Territory of Chandigarh. Punjab is considered to have the best infrastructure in India; this includes road, rail, air and river transport links that are extensive throughout the region. Also, it has the lowest poverty rate and the lowest level of hunger in India. Haryana was administered as a part of the Punjab province of British India, and was later carved out as a separate state on linguistic lines on November 1st, 1966. The name Haryana means ‘The Abode of God’ in Sanskrit. Haryana was the cradle of the Indus Valley and Vedic Civilizations.
Most of the states in India are formed/established in the month of November over the years. Officially, the new states formed/born on November 1st celebrate this day every year as birthday of the state. This is popularly called as Rajyotsava/Rashtravatarana day. Rajyotsava means "State festival" and Rashtravatarana means "State formation".

It’s almost 2014: want to change?
It’s almost 2014: want to lose weight, exercise more, or quit smoking in the new year?
WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s not just the wealthiest 1%.
Fully 20% of U.S. adults become rich for parts of their lives, wielding outsize influence on America’s economy and politics. This little-known group may pose the biggest barrier to reducing the nation’s income inequality.
In a country where poverty is at a record high, today’s new rich are notable for their sense of economic fragility. They’re reached the top 2%, only to fall below it, in many cases. That makes them much more fiscally conservative than other Americans, polling suggests, and less likely to support public programs, such as food stamps or early public education, to help the disadvantaged.
Last week, President Obama asserted that growing inequality is “the defining challenge of our time,” signaling that it will be a major theme for Democrats in next year’s elections.
“For many in this group, the American dream is not dead. They have reached affluence for parts of their lives and see it as very attainable, even if the dream has become more elusive for everyone else,” says Mark Rank, a professor at Washington University in St. Louis, who calculated numbers on the affluent for a forthcoming book, “Chasing the American Dream,” by the Oxford University Press.
In Gallup polling in October, 60% of people making $90,000 or more said average Americans already had “plenty of opportunity” to get ahead. Among those making less than $48,000, the share was 48%.
“In this country, you don’t get anywhere without working hard,” said James Lott, 28, a pharmacist in Renton, Wash., who adds to his six-figure salary by day-trading stocks. The son of Nigerian-American immigrants, Lott says he was able to get ahead by earning an advanced pharmacy degree. He makes about $200,000 a year.
While paychecks shrank for most Americans after the 2007-2009 recession, theirs held steady or edged higher. In 2012, the top 20% of U.S. households took home a record 51% of the nation’s income. The median income of this group is more than $150,000.
Paul F. Nunes, managing director at Accenture’s Institute for High Performance and Research, calls this group “the new power brokers of consumption.” Because they spend just 60% of their before-tax income, often setting the rest aside for retirement or investing, he says their capacity to spend more will be important to a U.S. economic recovery.
In Miami, developers are betting on a growing luxury market, building higher-end malls featuring Cartier, Armani and Louis Vuitton, and hoping to expand on South Florida’s Bal Harbour, a favored hideaway of the rich.
“It’s not that I don’t have money. It’s more like I don’t have time,” said Deborah Sponder, 57, walking her dog Ava recently along Miami’s blossoming Design District. She was headed to one of her two art galleries — this one between the Emilio Pucci and Cartier stores and close to the Louis Vuitton and Hermes storefronts.
In 2012, Obama lost the group, with 54% backing Republican Mitt Romney. Still, Obama’s performance among higher-income voters exceeded nearly every Democrat before him.

A teen’s relationship — or lack of good relationship — with parents, pals or teachers may have a lot to do with why most kids aren’t getting the nine to 10 hours of sleep that doctors recommend. The hormonal disruptions of puberty likely also play a role.
That’s the word from David Maume, a sociologist and sleep researcher at the University of Cincinnati. Maume recently analyzed federal health data from a survey of 974 teenagers who were questioned first when they were 12 years old, and then again at age 15. His findings appear in the December issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.
Teens who had very warm relationships with their parents — who said they felt supported, for example, and could talk to their folks — tended to sleep better, Maume found. “Whereas, families going through distressful times — divorce or remarriage — that tended to disrupt teen sleep,” he says.
Having problems or feeling unsafe at school also disturbed sleep, though students who said they had good relationships with teachers tended to sleep better.
Teens who reported having strong friendships with peers who shared similar academic goals, or who were involved in sports or other school activities also got a better night’s sleep.
Of course, teens are often more drawn to their computers and social networking than adults are. But Maume found that when parents were strict not only about bedtime, but also about limiting technology, the kids slept better.
The national data suggest that, on average, kids lose about an hour and a half of sleep a night between ages 12 and 15 — dropping from about nine hours per night to a little less than eight.
Nudging that number back up to the recommended nine or 10 nightly hours seems impossible to Stacy Simera, an Ohio mental health therapist who is also mother to 14-year-old Graig.
Graig’s good about all of that, Simera says. But even if he hits the sack at 9 p.m., she’ll often hear him tossing and turning until after 11.
Dr. Shalini Paruthi, who heads the pediatric sleep and research center at St. Louis University, blames the shifting hormones of puberty for throwing a wrench into the internal clock of many teens.
As with many hormonal changes, some people are more affected than others. But whatever the cause, statistics suggest that kids who don’t get the ideal nine or 10 hours total of shut-eye each night are at higher risk for things like poor academic performance, colds, flu, depression and — among teens old enough to drive — accidents on the road.

A woman you’ve almost definitely never heard of is fighting harder than almost anyone else for your right to affordable medicine. She’s one of just a handful of lawmakers who are. And the kicker is that she’s doing it from Louisiana.
Dr. Rebekah Gee is Louisiana’s Department of Health Secretary, and she does not seem to give a crap if the political establishment hates her. She cares about one thing: radically improving the health of one of the sickest, poorest state populations in the country.
Gee is proposing something no one in Baton Rouge would even think of if they wanted to keep their seat: calling on the federal government to step in and use a little-known law to bring down the price of life-saving drugs.
Gee once said that Louisiana is a state that knows what it’s like to have to rebuild after a disaster. And hepatitis C is one more disaster: the state has 35,000 people with hep C who are uninsured or on Medicaid. Last year, just 320 of them got treatment.
Because hep C is so contagious, curing one person early on could save hundreds of people from ever being infected at all. But 320 out of 35,000 is barely a dent, and Gee chalks that up to one single factor: the price of treatment.
She estimates that, at current prices, it would cost over $760 million to treat the state’s uninsured and Medicaid-covered population. And Louisiana just doesn’t have that kind of cash.
But Gilead, the makers of the drugs in question, Sovaldi and Harvoni, doesn’t take “doesn’t have that kind of cash” for an answer. The two drugs have a 95% success rate, but they also cost upwards of $100,000 for a 12-week course of treatment. Since Gilead brought their miraculous cure to market in 2014, hep C death tolls haven’t fallen at all — only climbed. In the years since their cure has been available, more than 1.4 million people have died of the disease in the U.S. alone.
So, after soliciting advice from public health and legal experts, Gee has a suggestion: tap a 1910 patent law to force Gilead to either lower the price or get out of the way.
The law is relatively simple: it’s kind of like eminent domain, except instead of screwing a farmer out of his land to build a pipeline, it’s sidestepping a patent that’s being used to hold our health system hostage.
It’s called “government patent use,” and what it does is give the government a level of immunity to challenges from patent holders: in Gee’s case, her state could import generic versions of hep C treatment, or get other pharmaceutical companies to put in bids to manufacture the drug, competing for the lowest price, and Gilead couldn’t sue or do anything else to get in the way.
As the patent-holder, Gilead would still get paid, but it would be “reasonable royalties,” calculated by things like manufacturing cost (somewhere around $130) or re-couped R&D costs (we don’t know because Pharmasset, the company who actually invented Sovaldi, won’t tell us, but Gilead spent $11 billion buying them up; Gilead has already recouped that three times over, with nearly $36 billion in its initial three years on the market).
Gee’s suggestion is being framed as radical — and, in terms of red state politics, it is — but it didn’t used to be. In the ‘50s and ‘60s, government patent use was invoked pretty frequently to make medicines available at a lower price.
It’s also been used for things like night vision goggles or lead-free bullets: items the government deems critical for national defense, but aren’t priced affordably by the patent holder. Just the threat of government patent use in 2001 to make anti-anthrax tablets affordable was enough to get Bayer to “voluntarily” cut their price in half.
And online outlets have joined in. “Rebekah Gee Is Now Publicly Talking About Stealing Drugs to Treat Hep-C in Louisiana,” one local news site screamed. Never mind the fact that if Gee is proposing “stealing” from anyone, it’s from Big Pharma — in order to give to the very jerk who wrote that headline.
But in other ways it’s been surprisingly quiet. I think that’s largely about how well-timed this is: Gee is in a state that simply cannot pay for these meds, no matter how many tax breaks they give out. We’re all pretty fed up with being price-gouged to death, literally. And pharma’s back is to the wall here; it’s not a coincidence that the industry lobbying group, PhRMA launched a huge PR campaign this year to repair their tattered reputation.
One more time for the inevitable clowns in the comments: Gilead did not spend billions of dollars to invent these drugs. They did not invent them at all. They bought them. They do not need your help to recoup their R&D costs. When Gilead bought up the drug, they made their money back in a single year. And Gilead’s CEO made at least $28 million in 2016.
Why anyone spends any energy defending them, especially if they’re not getting paid, is literally incomprehensible to me. I do not understand it.
Dr. Rebekah Gee is one of the only people putting forth a real solution to this crisis. She’s doing it in a state where the governor will likely want to stop her. And if PhRMA is mad, you know someone’s onto something.
Look: if there’s a fight brewing, and on one side is a mind-bogglingly profitable mega-corporation, and on the other is an OB-GYN who brought Louisiana’s infant mortality rates down by 25% and is brave enough to stick her neck out like this, I know which side I’m getting on.

(Newser) – Donald Trump "will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency," Trump's doctor of 35 years wrote in a letter in December. Now in an interview with NBC News, Dr. Harold Bornstein admits he wrote the four-paragraph letter in just five minutes while Trump's limo waited for him to finish. Bornstein says he didn't even stop to proofread it. That could explain multiple errors in the letter, including opening with "To Whom My Concerns," Politico reports. Regardless, Bornstein stands by his diagnosis. "His health is excellent, especially his mental health," he tells NBC (though Politico points out Bornstein is a gastroenterologist with no apparent psychiatry or psychology license).
Hillary Clintons doctor is most likely locked up in the same hole as the Vince Foster/Whitewater files that vanished from the file cabinets at the FBI.
Ok, let's accept that BS deception. Now, how much time did Trump or his staff spend proof reading that piece of crap letter, full of typos, before they released it. Remember, Trump always picks the best people, this I can tell . . . believe me!
The first sentence says it all, he was Trump's doctor for 35 years so it stands to reason that he is familiar with his health. If you have been seeing the same doctor for that long and he did not know whether or not you are healthy than that is a problem.

Sliding windows are a popular type of window chosen by many Livermore and Pleasanton homeowners looking to replace the windows in their homes. A sliding window, sometimes just called a “slider,” is great for rooms that need a vertically oriented window in which you also want to bring in some fresh air when the weather is nice outside.
They are best suited for more modern styles of homes, such as ranch-style homes, mid-century modern homes, prairie-style homes, or Tudors. Homes with more traditional styling would typically utilize single or double hung windows or casement windows in rooms where ventilation is desired. However, there are no hard and fast rules in architecture, so you can feel free to install sliders in any style of home.
Two-lite sliders have two panels of glass, each with its own sash. In most two-lite sliders, only one of the glass panels is operable, and slides over the fixed panel when opened. However, you can also purchase two-lite sliders in which both panels are operable, so you can choose which side to open.
A three-lite slider offers three panels of glass to let in additional light, with two of the panels being operable. Typically, half of the glass area in a three-lite slider will be the fixed middle panel, one-fourth will be the sliding panel on the right side, and the final fourth will be the sliding panel on the left side. Both operable panels can be opened at the same time, sliding over the fixed center panel.
You aren’t limited to just two- or three-lite sliders. You can combine them with other styles of windows for a custom look. For example, you can place a half-round window over top of your slider, or you could put two or more two-lite sliders next to each other to let in a ton of natural light and fresh air. Let a team member from Custom Exchange help you choose the best combination of windows for your home that will complement your style. Sliders can also be customized with grids and upgraded hardware.
If you have an older home with sliders, you may not be too excited about replacing them with new sliders. But let us assure you, the modern vinyl sliding windows we sell at Custom Exchange are nothing like the aluminum frame sliders of old. Aluminum frames are easily dented, which causes the windows not to slide as freely as they once did. This makes it a frustrating experience to open and close them. However, you will be amazed at how smoothly new vinyl replacement windows operate! You can literally slide them open and closed with one finger! They are built to last and will give you a lifetime of enjoyment.
If you’ve been considering replacement sliding windows, or any type of window or patio door for your Livermore or Pleasanton home, give us a call or contact us through our website. We look forward to hearing from you!

Editor’s Note: This article, first published in the December 2016 issue, has been revised and expanded.
Annual rainfall is rising in Whatcom County, bringing with it big storms and increased water pollution in the form of heavy runoff from roads and hard surfaces. Runoff carries toxic crud such as oil, pesticides and fertilizers into Lake Whatcom and Bellingham Bay.
Stormwater treatment is essential for the health of Bellingham Bay’s ecosystem and the various wildlife that call Whatcom County home. Each autumn, Coho Salmon swim up the Nooksack River to spawn. Studies by federal fishery researchers found that, when exposed to stormwater collected from a Seattle highway, Coho became sick or died within four hours. Those that survived the initial four hours were dead by the end of 24 hours.
Runoff has also been linked to a number of human deaths. In 2015, a San Diego surfer died of a staph infection and two of his friends fell severely ill after going out in the water less than 72 hours after a major storm. Officials there warn locals not to enter the water for at least three days after a storm because of the resultant upsurge of bacteria in the ocean.
While Bellingham Bay might be too cold for us to take a dip this time of year, one can imagine the effect runoff has on the plants and wildlife.
Bellingham’s wastewater flows through city sewers and is treated at the Post Point water treatment facility before being discharged. Stormwater, which is surface water in excessive amount caused by rain, enters street drains and, in many cases, runs directly into nearby water sources. Bellingham’s lack of a dedicated treatment facility for stormwater is consistent with other stormwater programs around the country, but definitely plays on how the City and its partners tackle the issue. The city’s efforts have shifted away from possible treatment towards implementing robust techniques for handling it.
In the past, stormwater management programs nationwide worked towards getting rain water off streets and roadways as quickly as possible. The Clean Water Act, enacted in 1972, changed that. Today, engineers plan systems that slow the flow of water to give time for the filtering of pollutants.
“I don’t think the full impact of the Clean Water Act was understood at the time because it has turned out to have huge and widespread implications for our culture,” said Hank Kastner, a stormwater expert who works with Re Sources for Sustainable Communities.
A federal pollution control act has been in place since 1948, but new amendments to the act in 1972 shaped what became the Clean Water Act. The new additions empowered the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to limit the level of contaminants in water discharge, implement pollution control programs and make it unlawful for any person to discharge pollutants into navigable waters without obtaining a permit, according to the EPA’s website. The Clean Water Act requires all cities to implement a stormwater program in some form. The Washington Department of Ecology, which enforces the act, issues permits to each city that dictate the specific stormwater programs to be established.
Bellingham was issued Phase II permit in 2007 (Phase I permits are for large cities), which requires the city to implement a public education and outreach program, allow for public involvement, detect and eliminate illicit discharge and control water runoff from construction sites. The permit also requires the city to establish a municipal operations and maintenance division actively working towards reducing and preventing toxic runoff.
Bellingham’s stormwater infrastructure, constructed decades ago, continues to cause problems for the city. Cost alone has made citywide retrofits of older stormwater systems infeasible, Kastner said. A single retrofit project in the Columbia neighborhood cost $1.65 million.
Various types of stormwater infrastructure helps absorb contaminants, but the question still remains whether the new developments will effectively protect our waters when Bellingham gets drenched by the next big storm. Although Kesner describes Bellingham as going “above and beyond” its obligations required by the permit, there are still some problem areas, especially downtown.
Lee First is a North Sound Baykeeper who works with Re Sources to manage the county’s stormwater.
“I think the worst areas are the downtown core with all the pavement; there’s not a lot of treatment [there]” First said.
Downtown Bellingham is also marked by the railroad tracks. First said passing trains produce dust, grit, oil and grease which is then spread across the entire waterfront.
Pavement and impervious surfaces is an issue the entire city deals with, First said.
The city has undertaken retrofits to existing stormwater infrastructure where necessary, but also reduces contaminant through water absorbing infrastructure like rain gardens and pretreatment facilities.
Bloedel Donovan Park on Lake Whatcom’s north shore has been equipped with pervious concrete surfaces allowing water to seep through, instead of just running into the lake. Old water mains nearing the end of their life cycle are currently being replaced on West Holly Street and E Street. The Lightcatcher Museum installed a vegetated, or green, roof which absorbs rainwater and reduced waterspout overflows by 40-65 percent, according to a joint study by the City of Bellingham and Sustainable Connections.
A more recent addition to Bellingham’s stormwater prevention systems is the Padden Creek Estuary Water Quality Facility. Completed in 2015, the facility on 8th St. just south of Harris Ave. uses a special mixture of soil and plants to help remove pollution from runoff as it passes through. Water is routed from the stormwater main on Harris Ave. and 9th St. and is cleaned in the facility before being released into Padden Creek.
Another prevention technique comes in the form of rain gardens. Bellingham has teamed up with Stewardship Partners and the Washington State University extension to bring 12,000 rain gardens to the Puget Sound. To date, the city has established 72 rain gardens in Bellingham; the number jumps to 800 when including those built on private property.
“Even that’s a drop in the bucket” compared to the amount of water that enters the bay from streets and roads, said Freeman Anthony, a Bellingham engineer in charge of rain gardens and other clean water projects.
Rain gardens are typically placed in parking lots or other heavily-used, paved areas. Runoff from the paved areas drain into the garden, allowing water to be filtered naturally through soil. The city built its first rain gardens in 2004: one in the city hall parking lot, the other the Bloedel Donovan Park lot.
The city has looked at alternatives to rain gardens, the most effective of which is in-ground vaults, collect excess stormwater to avoid overflowing the sewer system. They are widely considered to be the best management practice for holding excess water but can be costly. The rain garden built behind City Hall parking lot cost $5,600, compared to $27,000, the estimated price to install an in-ground vault. According to the 2016 Comprehensive Plan for Capital Facilities and Utilities, the city favors low impact development approaches to stormwater management to “conventional storm drainage design” when feasible.
Stormwater has also played a part in reducing water quality in Lake Whatcom, from which the city draws its drinking water. Surface levels of algae in the lake have significantly increased over the past 15 years, doubling in some areas, according to a monitoring project conducted in 2015 by Western Washington University. The EPA lists rising water temperatures as a potential cause for the increase in algae bloom, but nitrate and phosphorus contained in fertilizers also run into the lake and help algae growth.
To counter this trend, the city began construction in November 2016 on a new facility in Whatcom Falls Park. The plant will remove suspended sediment, like algae, from the water before it enters the main filtration system. Algae and other solids frequently block the current treatment plant. At one point during a peak in suspended sediment, the current filter was able to run for only five hours before having to initiate the backflow process, Anthony said. In the event of a backflow, water being transported through pipes to the filter is sent back to the lake, which could cause drinking water contamination.
The project will cost $11.4 million and will be funded by a state loan to the city, which will be repaid through water utility payments by Bellingham residents.
Robert Johnson is managing editor at The Western Front at Western Washington University. A writer and editor interested in environmental policy and local government, he is working with the Whatcom Watch as an intern.

Maca is the highest altitude crop in the world. It grows around 4300 meters in the Peruvian Andes of South America. Maca’s use goes back to around 3800 B.C., when the indigenous peoples of Peru cultivated and ate it for its nutritional and medicinal value.
It is incredibly high in beneficial amino acids, carbohydrates, and minerals like calcium, phosphorous, zinc, magnesium, iron, and vitamins C, E, B1, B2 and B12.
Our favourite maca brand is by that sold by The Maca Team. They sell select Peruvian maca in its true raw form, which makes it highly absorbable by the body. They also sell gelatinized maca which is easier on those with a sensitive digestive tract (this stuff is boiled down and pressurized to dissolve the starch content, however, so the gelatinized form is not raw – but still a great option for those suffering from digestive distress).
The Maca Team sells exclusively organic products, working with farming co-ops in Peru that are against the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. They grow traditionally, which means that the land is allowed regular rest and is fertilized naturally.
– Raw red maca: for prostate support, women’s fertility and libido, improvement in bone density. Sweeter and good for beginners!
– Raw black maca: for men wishing to increase their fertility, men and women wishing to boost their libido, athletes wanting to gain strength and stamina, and anyone looking to improve memory, concentration and focus skills.
– Raw yellow maca: the most common maca powder, great for beginners and for increasing energy, balancing hormones, improving skin health, and elevating your mood.
– Raw premium maca: the most complete and potent all-around maca available – contains 30% red, 30% black and 40% yellow coloured maca roots. Strongest tasting and more concentrated and potent than single coloured maca powders.
As for the health benefits of maca, check out those listed below!
Maca has positive effects on energy, stamina and mood, which results in lower levels of anxiety and depression. It helps stabilize blood sugar levels (which decreases energy spikes and dips), and improves adrenal health, which combined help regulate mood and energy throughout the day.
It has been said that Incan warriors consumed Maca before battle to increase their prowess. It helps to build muscle (thanks to the high quality amino acids), and studies have found it to improve stamina in distance racing.
Maca has been traditionally used for helping relax and energize participants before long dance ceremonies. It’s positive effects on mood reduce perceived anxiety and stress.
Maca is an incredibly potent aphrodisiac. It increases sperm production, boosts fertility and is a natural depressant. One study found that maca root is an effective supplement for women who experience sexual dysfunction as a result of taking SSRIs.
The presence of high quality amino acids in maca serve as building blocks of hormones in the body. Maca supports the endocrine system, and so it naturally has a positive effect on your adrenal hormones. Maca is so effective that it can actually repair exhausted adrenal glands.
Maca nourishes the thyroid gland. According to Dr. Viana Muller, who studied women with under-active thyroids, maca powder helped reduce these women’s use of thyroid medication, with some cases involving a complete termination of thyroid medication after using maca for just 2-3 months.
Maca affects key hormones in both women and men without containing hormones itself. By helping balance estrogen and progesterone levels in the body, it ensures a woman can carry a successful pregnancy and reduces the wait time for becoming pregnant. In regards to men, studies have shown that maca can increase sperm health and function, improving their ability to fertilize eggs upon conception.
Maca is great for improving overall mood and energy levels, which are important when trying to battle bouts of depression. Researchers from a hospital in Australia studied one group of women for 12 weeks – one group was given 3.5 grams of maca powder per day, while the other group was given a placebo. The results showed that those in the maca powder group had a significant reduction in scores in the areas of psychological symptoms, including those for anxiety and depression.
Maca helps control estrogen levels in the body and so it is said to help improve symptoms of PMS, PCOS and menopause. By balancing estrogen levels in the body, it equalizes with the amount of progesterone produced, which thereby increases reproductive health and fertility and decreases symptoms related to PCOS.
Maca also regulates the hypothalamus, which allows the pituitary gland to function properly. A healthy pituitary gland helps balance focus and energy, which thereby enables people to concentrate better and improve their learning ability. The black variety of maca powder is most beneficial in learning and memory.

Avaya Holdings (NYSE:AVYA) started the week off with a bang as the telecommunications equipment business is currently in talks with a private equity firm over a potential buyout.
The Santa Clara, Calif.-based software vendor said it is considering an offer that values the business at more than $5 billion, with debt included, according to statements from people familiar with the matter on Sunday. The company’s board of directors is pondering the offering, which values it at more than $20 per share, according to sources,, higher than the company’s current stock price of about $17.38 per share.
The figure is also considerably higher than Avaya stock’s trading price at the end of Friday, when it was worth $13.21, which gave it a market capitalization of $1.5 billion. The company added that it had roughly $3.2 billion in debt as of the end of December.
The offer comes only 15 months after Avaya found itself dealing with bankruptcy protection, coming out of it following a previous leveraged buyout in its $8.3 billion sale to private equity firms TPG Capital and Silver Lake in 2007. It is still unclear which private equity firm is making this offer for Avaya’s business.
The company has attracted attention regarding a buyout from various private equity firms in recent months.
AVYA stock is soaring about 31.4% on Monday following buzz surrounding the business over the idea of a possible buyout.

Following the success of the Sustainable Seafood Coalition (SSC) in the UK, a similar industry initiative will be launched in Hong Kong, demonstrating how the collaborative model can be replicated around the world.
The Hong Kong Sustainable Seafood Coalition (HKSSC) has brought together suppliers, buyers, restaurants, hotels and retail outlets collaborating to promote seafood sustainability and address concerns over Illegal, unregulated and unreported fish products in the supply chain.
Like the original SSC, the Hong Kong-based coalition will work as a pre-competitive model and organisers have spent the past year engaging with businesses to create new voluntary codes of conduct on seafood sourcing and environmental claims for packaging and menus.
And while the Hong Kong coalition is unaffiliated with the original, ClientEarth, as secretariat to the UK SSC consulted to the new venture, offering expertise to adapt the organisational structure and come up with their own codes.
Benjamin So, the Chair of the HKSSC said, “The establishment of the Coalition serves a three-fold purpose. Firstly, as users of a critical natural resource, we have a duty to ensure its responsible use. In addition, by adopting the HKSSC code of conduct, members can address the increasing concern among Hong Kong consumers regarding the sustainability of marine populations. Last but not least, collective industry action will bring greater commercial certainty to the seafood business.
Oliver Tanqueray from the SSC in the UK said: “Seeing the Sustainable Seafood Coalition model adapted for a market on the other side of the world is a vote of confidence in the model’s effectiveness and its ability to be replicated internationally. The world’s seafood supply chains are only as strong as their weakest link so this is about promoting raising the bar everywhere.
The Sustainable Seafood Coalition (SSC) is an association of businesses that sell seafood in the UK. We work together to agree voluntary industry standards on environmental sourcing and labelling, and collaborate to solve sustainability challenges. The codes of conduct that underpin the SSC were written by a cross-industry group including retailers, processors, brands and restaurants. ClientEarth acts as the secretariat of the SSC in the UK.

I've always wanted to give the Nikkietutorials set a try so when I saw this I was super excited. Upon receiving it, I have to say it met all my expectations. The packaging is gorgeous, the lippies glide on smooth and dry down quickly, leaving a lovely, highly pigmented color. The highlighter is so pretty and bright! I can see what all the fuss is about. I've used it daily since purchasing.
I love the lip color spell. It is a bright beautiful orange. It does not make your lips look like a dry prune like other liquid lips do. The highlight is gorgeous. I do not give a care about the cheap packaging because of the bright beautiful glow of the actual highlight. Use the bronze part on eyelid it is great looking. If I want cute packaging with no substance I will buy too faced. This is awesome at $39.00.
What I've been missing! The lipsticks are unbelievably soft and so pigmented. The highlighter is out of this world. It can be either popping or subtle you control the level. Really surprised Ofra exceeded my expectations.
The highlighters use it everyday.. liquid lipstick not so much, I only use the lightest color.. the other two I gave away to a friend.. didn't like the orange pink color or the copper color.. I didn't like it with my skin tone, made me look older But looks beautiful on my friend who has darker skin tone..

The people who spout ‘diversity is our strength’ have cast a mind-dulling net of intellectual conformity across our nation. Thought police don’t just troll the halls of academe; they have infiltrated society so deeply that violence from those offended by supposedly hurtful thoughts or words is sanctioned by the highest levels of government and popular institutions.
Trump supporters can find themselves beaten up. Municipal police in San Jose CA just watched and stood idly by as Trump rally attendees were assaulted. Since Trump is obviously a racist, then so are his followers. Opposition to racism is a higher good than civility or respect for others.
Hillary Clinton has called for shutting down Breitbart News, while Senator Barbara Boxer investigates and threatens companies that challenge climate change orthodoxy. Christians are compelled to comply with diktats that violate the fundamentals of their faith and the free government foundations of our republic.
The force behind all of this is a secular Social Justice Religion centered on phony climate change that Leftist apostles defend and enforce with righteous indignation. Conformity in thought and deeds are essential to their future perfect world in social justice Utopia. Since Christianity and Constitutional principles stand athwart their goals, the destruction of both is moral and good.
Most Americans, those who refuse to drink the Kool-Aid, are expected to shut up and sit down. Through endless repetition we are informed that the greater good of society is served through our non-resistance and passive obedience to Left-government. Nonsense. Government-enforced Non-Resistance and Passive Obedience over an unwilling society has, in the past, led to revolution. For almost thirty years, from 1660 to 1688, Stuart Kings and their Anglican Church enforced the divine right of kings to rule, and treated dissent and disobedience both unlawful and sinful.
In 1661 parliament imposed on all clergy and office-holders a non-resistance oath – ‘that it is not lawful upon any pretense whatsoever to take arms against the king.’ Through divine right, kings should rule and command in their several dominions all persons of what rank or estate soever, whether ecclesiastical or civil. Non-conformists, non-members of the Anglican Church were prohibited from holding any public office.
The Oxford Decrees of July 21st 1683 prohibited ‘pernicious books and damnable doctrines, destructive to the sacred persons of princes, their state, and government, and all of human society’. These put the premier teaching institution of the country and the intellectual center of the church strongly against all notions of popular resistance and firmly in favor of passive obedience in clear terms.
Reversal of these doctrines required revolution, the Glorious Revolution of 1688. In the 1689 indictment of King James II, he was charged with acting contrary to his oath, which entrusted in him a limited power to govern by the laws of the land, to use that power for the good and benefit of the people, for the preservation of their rights and liberties. Instead, it read, he conceived a wicked design to erect and uphold in himself an unlimited and tyrannical power to rule according to his will.
In modern times, the Left has inverted the sovereign/servant relationship. Through a warped system of indoctrination beginning in their earliest school days, a people founded in liberty are taught non-resistance and passive obedience to tyranny. Yet, history shows the servant cannot forever demand non-resistance and passive obedience from the sovereign people. Resistance is growing nationwide as God-given reason informs us that government is made for man, not man for government. While violence against tyranny is our natural right, so are less than violent means. We must use them to restore free government.

Measuring Process and Outcome Variables is Critical for Improving Quality of Care for Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Victims.
Knowing your community’s survival rate, and some of the details such as the percentage of cases for which bystander CPR was provided, is necessary to begin planning effective improvement strategies.
Currently the most useful method of measuring is participation in the Cardiac Arrest Registry for Enhanced Survival (CARES).
If an EMS system is not able to participate in CARES the system, they can collect their own basic registry data. However, the devil is in the details. It is important to ensure that all the appropriate cases should be included and to include essential elements in the correct format.
EMS systems with the resources to do so should maintain more comprehensive data registries to better inform their quality initiatives. Maintaining an ongoing, accurate and complete registry for SCA QI requires a minimum of one dedicated person per 1,000,000 population dedicated to the task.
Why is measurement essential to success?
Measurement of results is an essential element of the HeartRescue Project. A system can implement all the best practices in the world, but we won’t know it is working unless performance and outcomes including survival rates are measured. We can also gain better perspectives on SCA prevalence.
Currently, there are no national standards for SCA performance and outcomes. HeartRescue Partners are utilizing the CARES registry as a common set of data elements used to measure performance and outcomes. More information on OHCA (out-of-hospital cardiac arrest) data collection can be found here.
The best survival statistics available today indicate that in communities that measure their survival rates, roughly 10% of OHCA victims survive 2; this is known as the “overall” survival rate.
Survival in communities that are not measuring is likely half of that rate. Because only a handful of communities currently measure SCA survival 2,3 across most of the United States, the national overall survival rate is likely much less than 10%.
Survival for EMS treated, bystander witnessed, ventricular fibrillation (VF) OHCA in the US is around 30% in communities that measure.
Patients who present in ventricular fibrillation, particularly those who are EMS-treated, bystander-witnessed, and in ventricular fibrillation have the best chance of survival among all cardiac arrest victims. Survival rates for this group of SCA victims often serve as a sentinel measure for the effectiveness of a community’s system of care.

Travel anecdotes fill Herodotus’ histories. He recorded them so that “happenings will not be lost to human memory nor great and fantastic deeds … fade.” Mocked for his accounts of outlandish behavior, Herodotus got no respect until centuries later, when similar unlikely behavior was seen elsewhere, and its anthropological and ethnographic roots were verified. Human fascination with travel to mysterious lands has occupied artists as well as writers throughout the ages. Australian painter Cameron Hayes, whose work graces this month’s cover, offers his own narrative version of travel.
Hayes, whose interests in human behavior are reflected in all his work, traces his roots far from today’s art centers, even if he exhibits in galleries all over the world. Born in Sydney and now based in Melbourne, he has explored the effects of European settlement on the Aboriginal population in Milikapiti on Melville Island off the northern coast of Australia. He has articulated in his art the loss of cultural identity and health to often well-intentioned outside influences. This journey inward sharpened his vision of today’s global scene, which he views with suspicion and satirizes without mercy in his paintings.
Hayes’ style, resistant to prevailing art trends, is narrative. His work tells a story, in the tradition of Hieronymus Bosch (c. 1450–1516), who painted fantastic images derived from biblical and folkloric sources to address the moral conflicts of his day. Hayes also monitors human behavior and evaluates its effects. In complex scenes packed with minute detail, he projects the absurdity of human interaction in a globalized world gone mad. His acid humor is reminiscent of Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s, only he takes on not just the country yokel but humanity at large.
Unlike many contemporary artists whose work often relies on theory and explanation, Hayes says little about his paintings, allowing the viewer to draw conclusions directly from his densely populated, multifocal, fictitious scenes and their hidden messages. “Far out to sea and west of Spain,/There is a country named Cokaygne,” goes the poetic description of medieval utopia that could be describing Hayes’ destinations, “No place on earth compares to this/For sheer delightfulness and bliss.” At first glance, his colorful paintings appear playful and lyrical, full of movement and intrigue. “There’s no fly or flea or louse/In clothes, in village, bed, or house;/There’s no thunder, sleet, or hail,/Or any nasty worm or snail.” But on closer inspection, a story unfolds that is often disturbing as much as captivating, dark as well as enlightening.
In The Russians knew perfectly well …, Hayes’ travel report seems to marry the wide-eyed astonishment of Herodotus with the edginess of Swift. Strange things happen in far off lands. But not even Hieronymus Bosch could have anticipated an angle as original and frightful as Hayes’. This time it is not the natives who demonstrate outlandish behavior but the visitors. Animals, he suggests, once lived happily in the wild, munching and frolicking in a potent state of anarchic freedom, living and dying their natural lives and deaths. Then humans arrived in their iron birds bringing their traps, their needs, their greed, their haplessness, and their neuroses.
The scene unfolds inside and outside the airplane and in some vacuous unreal landscape beneath. The panoramic view, a carnival of shape and color, yields a diminutive cosmos of stunning complexity. Animals, moved away from their natural habitat and become domesticated, have turned into caricatures of themselves, mindlessly engaged in meaningless tasks for no reason. The cartoonlike elephant on the upper left corner covers the eyes in dismay; the giraffe is clearly distressed. Awash in human fashions, the animals exhibit bizarre symptoms, biting themselves and each other or perched weirdly on floating vegetation.
In the wild, animals had no expectations. They did not travel far, nor did they carry luggage. Their happiness was guaranteed. Now, part and parcel of public transportation, they have lost not just their innocence and wildness but also the natural quarantine rendered by the borders of their habitat. And their bags are packed with more than human expectations. They have joined the growing zoonoses network, unknowingly moving microorganisms around the globe and expanding the scope and span of disease.
The author thanks Louise E. Shaw for her help in obtaining permission to use The Russians knew perfectly well that the happiness of the African animals was that they had such low expectations―before the pets were introduced.

According to , the definition of Mass Media is those means of communication that reach and influence large numbers of people, especially newspapers, popular magazines, radio, and television. The development of web portals, hubs, mobile and tablet apps (developed and made available for both iOS and Android devices), or other innovative uses of technology or new models to provide audiences with access to media artists and art works. Will help you to come to grips with the major concepts used in contemporary debates on the synergy between the arts and the media, such as intermediality, intertextuality, and (re)mediation. The first semester (period 1+2+3) consists of two introductory courses on core theoretical frameworks of intermediality studies and a lecture series shared by the whole Arts & Culture department. Please ensure you keep this date available as parental support is vital to your child’s success at school.
On the academic side, students learn about films, media criticism, international communication, radio and television history, effects of mass media and media’s role in society. The main media production included among others under water video shootings in Pori swimming hall, animation production in Helsinki and in Satakunta University of Applied Science, air shooting in Helsinki and Pori. They may choose to supplement their learning with professional placements relating to the media arts and production sector. The media production of Wagner Gala was part of the Cross Media Production course of Creative Business Management -MA-program. We are currently facilitating the Magna Carta Visual Arts Project and the Memory Book Project. You will also study international networked media culture and English language.
Attributes gained undertaking humanities-based studies at the School provide graduates with a wide range of internationally recognised career opportunities in research, government, teaching and industry. The Women in the Arts & Media Coalition’s combined membership is probably larger and more diverse than that of any other alliance of women in the arts and/or media.
The Women in the Arts & Media Coalition provides a link for arts and media professionals to their colleagues across the United States and abroad, including those in colleges and universities. MONA LISA Arts & Media facilitate art workshops, activities and exhibitions in the community, working with schools, businesses, church groups, youth and community groups. This month, we would like to get our HappyCards finished and start posting them around the school.
An Arts, Media and Culture degree prepares students for a range of careers including publishing, the arts, media, museum work, public relations and public history. This will only be a short meeting, as I know that a lot of you are in Earthworks and various other school activities, but the photo will only take around 5 minutes, and you can be on your way. Media arts and studies offers students a full production sequence where they learn film making, editing, directing, and screenwriting. Services to the field including activities that provide media artists and organizations with resources that are essential for artistic growth and development. Media arts exhibitions, festivals, and other activities in public spaces that are intended to foster community interaction and/or enhance the unique characteristics of a community. Thus, while the first component examines the ‘content’ of wide-ranging arts and media, the second focuses on their ‘external’ environment.

1 Clean and rinse the calamari.
2 Prepare the stuffing by sautéing onions in a skillet until nice and golden. Add chopped up calamari tentacles, finely diced prosciutto, one clove of garlic minced through garlic press, Vegeta Natur, dessert wine or port wine, and black pepper. Sauté everything until soft. Allow to cool a little before adding the grated parmesan.
3 Next, stuff the calamari. Put one spoonful of the stuffing in the centre of one red radicchio leaf, fold and wrap tightly. Push the wrap into the calamari and fix with a toothpick.
4 Use the remaining olive oil to fry stuffed calamari in a skillet on medium heat.
5 You can add a little wine or dessert wine to deglaze the pan just before the calamari are done.
