Kaunas was founded in the 13th century. Lithuania’s second largest city was rapidly developed and soon attracted the “Crème de la crème” of German merchants, becoming one of Hansa’s major trading hubs.
The following years, Kaunas’s ownership was strongly claimed by Russia and Sweden, which lead to the annexation of Lithuania by the Soviet Union – the city’s castle still reminds us of these old times.
In-between the two World Wars, Kaunas knew further development; this is when most of the city’s neoclassical and art nouveau buildings were constructed!
Visitors love modern Kaunas, because it retains something of its old charm, while at the same time following all the latest trends in art, culture and cuisine. This is a – budget friendly for now – extraordinary destination, one of the most unique cities you can find in Europe. Try it!
Kaunas is served by the international airport of Vilnius (Vilniaus oro uostas). The airport is located 101 kilometres southwest of the city and can be reached by bus and train.
Kaunas’s public transportation system consists of buses and trolleys. Fares start at 0.90 LTL and minimum taxi fare costs around 2.25 LTL.
Kaunas’s elegant baroque-neoclassical town hall was built in 1542 and is now known as the “White Swan”. It houses a Museum of Ceramics, with archaeological collections and local temporary exhibitions.
Hotels near the Old Town Hall of Kaunas.
One of Lithuania’s few decent examples of Gothic architecture, the House of Perkūnas was named after the Baltic God of thunder, a statue of whom was found inside the building.

The city’s main landmark, the castle was built by Kaunas’s Teutonic Knights. A marvellous Gothic building, it went through a major renovation and now houses an interesting art gallery.
Hotels near the Kaunas Castle.
Built in 1893 as an Orthodox church for the castle’s Russian garrison, this imposing blue neo-byzantine building now serves as a Roman Catholic church.
Hotels near the St. Michael the Archangel's Church.
This fort was built in the late 19th century upon a section of the city’s old fortifications, in order to reinforce the west boundaries of the Russian Empire. Later converted into a Nazi concentration camp, it now houses a museum with very informing collections on both eras.
Hotels near the IX Fort Museum.
Your day in Kaunas begins at the central square of the Old Town Hall (Rotušės Aikštė), the Old Town’s heart, surrounded by beautiful 16th century buildings that were once the houses of rich German merchants.
At the centre of the square, you can admire the marvellous Old City Hall (Kauno Rotuše), a baroque-neoclassical building of 1542. The town hall is widely known as the “White Swan”, referring to its elegant shape and immense height, greatly resembling to this beautiful bird.
The building’s second floor was a later addition of the 16th century and has served as a treasury, a prison, a warehouse and an archive. It now houses the Museum of Ceramics, with interesting collections of archaeological items and traditional Lithuanian ceramics of the 20th century.
Don’t miss the House of Perkūnas, one of the city’s few surviving Gothic buildings, restored in 1818. During the restoration process, a statue was discovered, later identified as Perkūnas, the Baltic god of thunder!
Continue to the Kaunas Castle (Kauno pilis), the city’s major landmark. The castle was built by the Teutonic Knights in the 14th century and though it was reconstructed after a long siege of the city, it was finally left to decay. Today you can see only a small section of the castle, restored and housing an art gallery.
Next stop, the St. Michael the Archangel's Church! Built in 1893 as an Orthodox church for the castle’s Russian garrison, this imposing blue neo-byzantine building now serves as a Roman Catholic church and is a popular tourist sight.
Your visit in Kaunas could not be considered complete without paying a visit at the IX Fort Museum. This fort was built in the late 19th century upon a section of the city’s old fortifications, in order to reinforce the west boundaries of the Russian Empire. Later converted into a Nazi concentration camp, it now houses a museum with very informing collections on both eras.
Kaunas’s official language is Luthuanian.

Consistent with the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution (Public Law 102-1) and as part of my effort to keep the Congress fully informed, I am reporting on the status of efforts to obtain Iraq's compliance with the resolutions adopted by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). This report covers the period from February 3, 1998, to the present.
For much of the period covered by this report, Iraq was engaged in a serious challenge to the authority of the UNSC and the will of the international community. As documented in my last report, Iraq refused to allow U.N. Special Commission (UNSCOM) inspectors to carry out their work at a number of sites last December; Iraq's refusal to cooperate in spite of repeated warnings continued until the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan and Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz on February 23, and the endorsement of this agreement by the UNSC on March 2 when it adopted UNSCR 1154. Both the MOU and UNSCR 1154 reiterate Iraq's commitment to provide immediate, unconditional, and unrestricted access to UNSCOM and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). UNSCR 1154 also stresses that any further Iraqi violation of the relevant UNSC resolutions would result in the severest consequences for Iraq. Iraq's commitment is now in the process of being tested. A series of UNSCOM inspections of so-called "sensitive" sites in early March proceeded without Iraqi interference. On March 26, UNSCOM inspections of the so-called "presidential sites" began under the arrangements agreed to by UNSCOM Chairman Richard Butler and Iraqi Deputy Foreign Minister Tariq Aziz. The team of 60 UNSCOM inspectors, accompanied by 20 diplomatic observers, is conducting inspections of the so-called "presidential sites" through April 5. Chairman Butler traveled to Baghdad in mid-March for discussions with Iraqi officials concerning Iraq's missile and chemical weapons programs.
Throughout the crisis created by Iraq's refusal to cooperate with U.N. weapons inspectors, the objective of my Administration was to achieve effective inspections, preferably through a diplomatic solution. Our vigorous diplomatic efforts were backed by the credible threat to use force, if necessary. I consulted with our allies in the region as well as with the other members of the U.N. Security Council. Secretary of State Albright, Secretary of Defense Cohen, U.N. Ambassador Richardson, and other Administration officials also pursued our objectives vigorously with foreign governments, including several trips to the region and to relevant capitals and at the United Nations. Our military forces responded quickly and effectively to support our diplomatic efforts by providing a credible military option, which we were prepared to use if Iraq had not ultimately agreed to meet its obligation to provide full access to UNSCOM and the IAEA.
As a demonstration of U.S. resolve during the recent crisis with Iraq, the aircraft carriers USS INDEPENDENCE, USS GEORGE WASHINGTON, their accompanying battle group combatant ships, and additional combat aircraft have remained in the region. United States force levels in the region now include land- and carrier-based aircraft, surface warships, a Marine amphibious task force, Patriot missile battalions, a mechanized battalion task force, and a mix of special operations forces deployed in support of USCINCCENT operations. To enhance force protection throughout the region, additional military security personnel are also deployed. These U.S. forces were augmented by the HMS ILLUSTRIOUS and accompanying ships from the United Kingdom.
In addition to the United Kingdom, a number of other nations have pledged forces to our effort to compel Iraq's compliance with its commitments. Although all of the members of this international effort seek a peaceful diplomatic resolution of the crisis in Iraq, all have shown their resolve to achieve our common objective by military force if that becomes necessary. Without this demonstration of resolve to both use military force and impose the severest consequences on Iraq for any further Iraqi transgressions, it is unlikely that the MOU and UNSCR 1154 (see below) would have been achieved.
Twenty nations have deployed forces to the region or have readied their forces for contingency deployment. Those countries currently represented in the Gulf include Australia, Argentina, Canada, the Czech Republic, Kuwait, Netherlands, New Zealand, Romania, and the United Kingdom. Another 12 nations have offered important access, basing, overflight, and other assistance essential for the multi-national effort. Still others have identified force contributions that are being held in reserve for deployment should the need arise. United States and Allied forces in the region are prepared to deal with numerous contingencies, either conventional or weapons of mass destruction-related. UNSCR 949, adopted in October 1994, demands that Iraq not use its military forces to threaten its neighbors or U.N. operations in Iraq and that it not redeploy troops nor enhance its military capacity in southern Iraq. In view of Saddam's record of brutality and unreliability, it is prudent to retain a significant force presence in the region to deter Iraq. This gives us the capability to respond rapidly to possible Iraqi aggression or threats against its neighbors.
Until Iraqi intent to comply with the MOU is verified, it will be necessary to maintain our current augmented force posture in the region. The ongoing inspections of the so-called "presidential sites" mark the next critical phase in the UNSCOM inspections process. Once Iraqi compliance is assured, we will consider whether we can reduce our present force posture.
The United States and coalition partners continue to enforce the no-fly zones over Iraq under Operation Northern Watch and Operation Southern Watch. In response to a series of Iraqi no-fly zone violations in October and November 1997, we increased the number of aircraft participating in these operations. There have been no observed no-fly zone violations during the period covered by this report. We have repeatedly made clear to the Government of Iraq and to all other relevant parties that the United States and coalition partners will continue to enforce both no-fly zones, and that we reserve the right to respond appropriately and decisively to any Iraqi provocations.
The Maritime Interception Force (MIF), operating under the authority of UNSCR 665, vigorously enforces U.N. sanctions in the Gulf. The U.S. Navy is the single largest component of this international naval force, but it is augmented by ships and aircraft from Australia, Canada, Belgium, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council support the MIF by providing logistical support and shipriders, and accepting vessels caught violating sanctions.
Since my last report, the MIF has intercepted 15 sanctions violators in the Gulf for a total of over 25,000 metric tons of illegal Iraqi petroleum products. Ships involved in smuggling have often utilized the territorial seas of Iran to avoid MIF inspections. We have given detailed reports of these illegal activities to the U.N. Sanctions Committee in New York.
The level of petroleum smuggling from Iraq appears to be decreasing. There are indications, still preliminary, that the Government of Iran may be taking steps to curb the flow of illegal petroleum products through its territorial seas. While it is too early to tell if Iran will completely and permanently stop this illegal traffic, we are hopeful that Iran will help enforce the provisions of UNSCR 661 and other relevant UNSCRs. In this regard, we note that the Iranian government has recently played a helpful role in enforcing the sanctions on air travel to and from Iraq by requiring that planes wishing to enter Iraq obtain the appropriate approval from the U.N. Sanctions Committee before overflying Iranian territory.
Recent actions by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) will greatly enhance our efforts to halt illegal exports from Iraq. After diplomatic consultations with the United States and our MIF allies, the UAE has significantly increased its level of cooperation with the MIF. These efforts have resulted in a significant increase in the number of ships caught with illegal cargoes. In addition, the UAE has prohibited the use of tankers, barges, and other vessel types to transport petroleum products to UAE ports and through its waters or to store such products there. While it is still too early to determine the full effect of these measures, we are hopeful that these actions will deal a significant blow to sanctions-busting activity in the region.
While Iran and the UAE are taking positive steps, Iraq continues to improve loading facilities in the Shatt Al Arab waterway, which gives it the potential to smuggle even larger quantities of gasoil and fuel oil. The U.S. Government will seek to address this problem in the context of the expansion of the "oil-for-food" program approved under UNSCR 1153.
Iraq's refusal to cooperate fully and unconditionally with UNSCOM and the IAEA, which are tasked with tracking down and destroying Iraq's weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs, was once again at the heart of the latest crisis between the U.N. and Iraq.
On February 23, the United Nations Secretary General signed the MOU with the Government of Iraq reiterating Iraq's obligation to cooperate fully and unconditionally with inspections by UNSCOM and IAEA for weapons of mass destruction. The agreement stipulates that Iraq will provide UNSCOM and IAEA weapons inspectors with immediate, unconditional, and unrestricted access to any suspect site inside Iraq, including presidential palaces, and provides for specific procedures for inspections at eight clearly identified presidential sites.
The recent crisis with Iraq was only the latest chapter in the long history of efforts by the Iraqi regime to flout its obligations under relevant UNSC resolutions. Iraq has persistently failed to disclose fully its programs for WMD. Iraq has admitted, when confronted with incontrovertible evidence, that it has repeatedly and consistently concealed information from UNSCOM and the IAEA and has moved significant pieces of dual-use equipment that are subject to monitoring in violation of its obligations. Without full disclosure and free access to all sites UNSCOM and IAEA wish to inspect, the ongoing monitoring and verification mandated by relevant UNSC resolutions, including Resolutions 687, 707, and 715, cannot effectively be conducted.
On March 2, the Security Council unanimously adopted resolution 1154, which welcomed the MOU and reiterated that Iraq must cooperate fully with UNSCOM and the IAEA. In the clearest possible terms, the Council warned Iraq in UNSCR 1154 that it will face the "severest consequences" if it fails to adhere to the commitments it reaffirmed in the MOU. This resolution is one of the strongest and clearest statements the Council has made in 7 years with regard to what Iraq must do to comply with its obligations, and what the consequences of failing to meet those obligations will be. This strong language of UNSCR 1154 is critical to ensuring that UNSCOM and IAEA can do their job and that Iraq is held accountable to its agreement. We welcomed Resolution 1154 and agreed with Secretary General Annan that, if respected, honored, and sustained, the agreement "could constitute one of the U.N.'s most important steps in addressing the consequences of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait 7 years ago."
Iraq's compliance with the agreement is now being tested. Since the beginning of March, UNSCOM has pursued an intensive agenda of inspections, including inspections of so-called "sensitive" sites and "presidential sites" to which the Iraqis had previously blocked access. Iraq has not significantly obstructed access to any sites UNSCOM and the IAEA wished to visit since the MOU was signed. This may mean Iraq will comply with the relevant UNSC resolutions, but the testing process must continue until UNSCOM and the IAEA are fully satisfied. We have consistently stressed that full, unconditional, repeated access by UNSCOM to all sites, personnel, equipment, documents, and means of transportation provides the only means by which the world can make certain Iraq does not maintain or develop WMD. We have full faith and confidence in UNSCOM and its Executive Chairman.
Iraqi biological and chemical weapons remain the most troubling issues for UNSCOM. This is due to the innate dual-use nature of the technology; it can easily be hidden within civilian industries such as, for biological agents, the pharmaceutical industry and, for chemical agents, the pesticide industry. UNSCOM is still unable to verify that all of Iraq's SCUD missile warheads filled with biological agents -- anthrax and botulinum toxin -- have been destroyed.
The Iraqi regime contends that UNSCOM and the IAEA should "close the books" on nuclear and missile inspections. But there are still many uncertainties and questions that need to be resolved. Iraq has never provided a full and accurate account of its indigenous efforts to develop nuclear weapons and prohibited long-range missiles. Among the many problems, Iraq has failed to answer critical questions on nuclear weapons design and fabrication, procurement, and centrifuge enrichment; failed to provide a written description of its post-war nuclear weapons procurement program; and failed to account for major engine components, special warheads, missing propellants, and guidance instruments that could be used to assemble fully operational missiles. Until Iraq complies with its obligation to provide a full accounting of these and other relevant aspects of its program, the questions must remain open.
The U.N. Special Commission's work must include vigorous efforts to expose Iraq's "Concealment Mechanism." During the last 60 days, but before signature of the MOU, UNSCOM launched two special inspection teams that once again targeted this mechanism in order to ferret out WMD programs and documents that UNSCOM -- and we -- believe Iraq stubbornly retains. Unfortunately, it became clear that the Iraqi government had no intention of cooperating with these inspections as specifically called for in the most recent UNSCRs on the topic -- resolutions 1134 of October 23, 1997, and 1137 of November 12, 1997. The teams were stopped en route, denied access, and prevented from videotaping equipment movement or document--destruction activity at suspect sites.
In accordance with relevant UNSC resolutions, UNSCOM and the IAEA must be allowed to continue to investigate all aspects of Iraq's prohibited programs until they can verify that all relevant components have been destroyed under international supervision, and that all remaining capabilities have been eliminated. Without such verification, Iraq could quickly develop the ability to strike at any city in the region -- and perhaps even as far as Europe -- with weapons of mass destruction.
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1051 established a joint UNSCOM/IAEA unit to monitor Iraq's efforts to reacquire proscribed weapons. Iraq must notify the unit before it imports any items that can be used in both military and civilian applications. Similarly, U.N. members must provide timely notification of exports to Iraq of such dual-use items.
We continue to be concerned that Iraq's land borders are extremely porous. Iraq continues substantial trade with its neighbors. There is significant potential for evasion of sanctions by land routes, giving additional weight to our position that UNSCOM must have full and unconditional access to all locations and be allowed to inspect and monitor Iraqi compliance over time.
On February 20, the Security Council adopted resolution 1153, which expands to $5.2 billion the amount of oil Iraq is authorized to sell every 6 months. The previous amount was $2.0 billion every 6 months. Resolution 1153 states that the nutritional and health requirements of the Iraqi people are the top priority and allocates $1 billion to rebuild hospitals, schools, water, and sanitation facilities. My Administration's support for resolution 1153 is fully consistent with long-standing U.S. policy. Since 1990, at the height of the Gulf War, the United States has held that the inter-national community's dispute is with Iraq's leadership, not its people. We proposed an "oil-for-food" program in 1991 (UNSCR 706/712), which Iraq rejected. A similar program (UNSCR 986) was eventually accepted by Iraq in 1996. We supported the expansion of the oil-for-food program under UNSCR 1153 because it will provide additional humanitarian assistance to the Iraqi people, under strict U.N. supervision, without benefiting the regime.
Since the beginning of the oil-for-food program, we have consistently worked with the U.N. and other U.N. member states to find ways to improve the program's effectiveness to better meet the humanitarian needs of Iraq's civilian population. Iraq, however, has frequently failed to provide the full cooperation necessary to ensure that the program functions smoothly. For example, during calendar year 1997, the Government of Iraq refused to pump oil under UNSCR 986 for more than 3 months, all the while blaming the U.N. and the United States for disruptions in the flow of food and medicine that it had caused. We will be watching closely to determine how the Government of Iraq performs under UNSCR 1153. The Iraqi government refused to provide appropriate input to the Secretary General's report of January 30 on Iraq's humanitarian needs, which provided the basis for determining allocations under UNSCR 1153. On February 5, Iraq sent its official "observations" on that report to the Secretary General, rejecting many of its proposals and recommendations to alleviate the suffering of the Iraqi people without stating whether or not the Government of Iraq would "accept" the resolution. The U.N. Secretariat continues to work to reach agreement with Iraq on implementing UNSCR 1153.
Among its other provisions, UNSCR 1153 calls for an independent assessment of Iraq's oil infrastructure to ascertain whether it can export enough oil to cover the $5.2 billion oil export ceiling. Based on this report, the Secretary General will recommend to the UNSC whether repairs to Iraq's oil infra-structure will be needed to meet the new export target. The United States is prepared to support only those oil infrastructure repairs needed to fund the expanded humanitarian program.
The U.N. must carefully monitor how Iraq implements resolution 1153. The Iraqi government continues to insist on the need for rapid lifting of the sanctions regime, despite its record of non-compliance with its obligations under relevant U.N. resolutions. Saddam Hussein has exploited the suffering he himself has imposed on his people to build sympathy for Iraq and its government and to create pressure to lift the sanctions. In the meantime, he has continued to build lavish palaces that benefit only the elite within his regime.
The human rights situation throughout Iraq continues to be a cause for grave concern. U.N. Special Rapporteur for Iraq, Max Van der Stoel, is investigating credible reports from numerous, independent sources that the Government of Iraq may have summarily executed hundreds -- perhaps thousands -- of political detainees in November and December 1997. According to these reports, many of those killed were serving sentences of 15-20 years for such crimes as insulting the regime or being members of an opposition political party. Families in Iraq reportedly received the bodies of the executed that bore, in some cases, clear signs of torture. In addition, the possibility that the government used humans as experimental subjects in its chemical and biological weapons programs remains a grave concern.
In southern Iraq, the government continues to repress the Shi'a population, destroying the Marsh Arabs' way of life and the unique ecology of the southern marshes. In the north, the government continues the forced expulsion of tens of thousands of ethnic Kurds from Kirkuk and other cities. The government continues to stall and obfuscate, rather than work in good faith toward accounting for more than 600 Kuwaitis and third-country nationals who disappeared at the hands of Iraqi authorities during or after the occupation of Kuwait, and the nearly 5,000 Iranian prisoners of war taken prisoner by Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war. The Government of Iraq shows no sign of complying with UNSCR 688, which demands that Iraq cease the repression of its own people. The U.N. Special Rapporteur reported to the General Assembly his particular concern that extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, and the practice of torture continue to occur in Iraq.
The INDICT campaign continues to gain momentum. Led by various independent Iraqi opposition groups and nongovernmental organizations, this effort seeks to document crimes against humanity and other violations of international humanitarian law committed by the Iraqi regime. We applaud the tenacity of the Iraqi opposition in the face of one of the most repres-sive regimes in history. We take note of, and welcome, Senate Resolution 179 of March 13 expressing the sense of the Senate concerning the need for an international criminal tribunal to try members of the Iraqi regime for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
March 16, 1998, marked the tenth anniversary of the Iraqi military's devastating chemical attack on the Iraqi Kurdish town of Halabja. As many as 5,000 civilians were killed. More than 10,000 were injured. The Iraqi regime never expressed remorse for Halabja. In fact, the regime defended its use of chemical weapons in its war with Iran by claiming, "every nation has the right to protect itself against invasion," even though a 1925 Geneva Protocol, to which Iraq is subject, outlaws the use of chemical weapons. Ten years after the massacre, the people of Halabja still suffer from the effects of the attack, including much higher rates of serious diseases (such as cancer), birth defects, and miscarriages. The sympathies of the United States are with the people of Halabja and other victims of Iraqi chemical attacks as we remind ourselves and the international community that the U.N. must remain vigilant to stop Iraq from reacquiring weapons of mass destruction.
In northern Iraq, the cease-fire between the Kurdish parties, established in November 1997 as the result of U.S. efforts, continues to hold. Both Massoud Barzani, leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and Jalal Talabani, leader of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) have made positive, forward-looking statements on political reconciliation, and talks between the two groups have commenced. We will continue our efforts to reach a permanent reconciliation through mediation in order to help the people of northern Iraq find the permanent, stable settlement that they deserve, and to minimize the opportunities for Baghdad and Tehran to insert themselves into the conflict and threaten Iraqi citizens in this region.
The United Nations Compensation Commission (UNCC), established pursuant to UNSCRs 687 and 692, continues to resolve claims against Iraq arising from Iraq's unlawful invasion and occupation of Kuwait. The UNCC has issued almost 1.3 million awards worth $6 billion. Thirty percent of the proceeds from the oil sales permitted by UNSCRs 986, 1111, and 1143 have been allocated to the Compensation Fund to pay awards and to finance operations of the UNCC. To the extent that money is available in the Compensation Fund, initial payments to each claimant are authorized for awards in the order in which the UNCC has approved them, in installments of $2,500. To date, 457 U.S. claimants have received an initial installment payment, and payment is in process for an additional 323 U.S. claimants.
Iraq remains a serious threat to international peace and security. I remain determined to see Iraq comply fully with all of its obligations under U.N. Security Council resolutions. The United States looks forward to the day when Iraq rejoins the family of nations as a responsible and law-abiding member.

A quick and easy, one-pan Thai peanut chicken dish that is just packed with flavour!
I have been a little obsessed with Thai style dishes with peanut in them ever since I came across them and here is a new recipe, a thai peanut chicken saute, that is both super tasty and quick and easy! You just need to cook some chicken and make the peanut sauce which consists of a base of red curry paste, peanut butter and coconut milk. The peanut sauce is seasoned with the perfect balance of sweet, salty, tart and spicy with the toasted palm sugar, fish sauce, lime juice and chili sauce! I like to add veggies like red peppers and peas to this thai peanut chicken skillet and serving it over a bed of rice, quinoa, pasta, etc. makes for a perfect 30 minute, one-pan weeknight meal!
Add the pepper to the pan and saute for 2 minutes.
Add the red curry paste to the pan and saute until fragrant, about a minute.
Add the coconut milk. peanut butter, fish sauce, lime juice, sugar and chili sauce and cook, stirring, until the peanut butter has melted.
Add the chicken, peas and cilantro, remove from heat and enjoy!
Option: Marinate the chicken, chicken satay style, for even more flavour!
Oof, love the peanut in there! This sounds delicious, you've totally made me obsessed too.
Were big fans of Thai food in our house!
Another one to try. Looks so colorful, party on a plate!
BTW every one of your recipes I've tried I've loved and made Multiple times. Special favorites are the Hungarian Mushroom soup (I leave out the milk product for my daughter who is highly Lactose intolerant, and it is still great. Also made the Beef Barbacoa many times. So many times thank you !
Going to make with grated Cauliflower for my husband he leans to a Keto diet. Protein and fat very low carb's. He will love this.
I absolutely love this chicken saute recipe! I have a weakness for thai peanut!
bambi: Cauliflower rice would be perfect!
S Dimitrov: Yes, you can serve it over rice or pasta, quinoa, etc.
Made this today and absolutely loved,loved,loved it. Having just embarked on a reduced card diet plan, I was prepared for boring food but not now I've found your website. Served this with cauliflower rice, hubby even asked for more. Love everything about your website and am becoming a regular diner there.
Marie Dunne: I'm glad that you enjoyed it!

Tolera Therapeutics was named one of Michigan’s top 50 companies to watch this spring, and now it has raised more capital to pursue its idea for making effective new drugs against immune system disorders.
The company, based in Kalamazoo, MI, has nailed down about $4.1 million out of an equity financing round that could be worth as much as $6.1 million, according to a filing with the Securities & Exchange Commission. The company hasn’t issued any public statement about the financing, and chief financial officer James Herrmann wasn’t immediately available to comment on the deal.
Tolera is seeking to develop genetically engineered antibody drugs that counteract the effects of autoimmunity, in which the body’s own immune system goes haywire and starts attacking healthy tissue like a virus. The company was founded in January 2007 to build on research from the University of Kentucky and the Cleveland Clinic. Tolera said it raised $8 million in its initial round of financing in June 2008 from Triathlon Medical Ventures, the Southwest Michigan First Life Science Fund, and Grand Rapids, MI-based Hopen Therapeutics.
Since then, the company has moved its lead product candidate, TOL101, through the first phase of clinical trials in about 100 patients, and is preparing for a more rigorous stage of study to demonstrate whether it can actually help patients. The Tolera technology is supposed to home in specifically on certain T-cells of the immune system which go awry in patients with Type 1 diabetes or multiple sclerosis, and which can cause patients to reject transplanted tissue during surgery. The vision is to make these immune-altering drugs so selective that they can tamp down the excessive inflammation of these conditions, without triggering a dangerous immune reaction against the drug, while maintaining strong enough immune defenses so that patients don’t become vulnerable to infections.
The regulatory filing doesn’t say who invested in this most recent financing for Tolera, although it does say five investors participated. The document also lists five people on the company’s board of directors. They are CEO John Puisis, the former CEO of Madison, WI-based Third Wave Technologies; Donald Parfet, the managing partner of Apjohn Group; Suzette Dutch, the managing partner of Triathlon Medical Ventures; Mark Olesnavage, the president of Hopen Therapeutics; and Douglas Morton, a pharmaceutical industry consultant.
And i think it will continue to rise even more. Great company.

text: Spontaneous AE signals are generated when statistical or non-statistical methods are applied to spontaneous AE data (Venulet, 1973). Although the manner in which a particular drug-AE pair comes to attention (spontaneous AE signalling method) has sometimes been used synonymously with the subject matter that was identified (spontaneous AE signal), signalling methods are better defined as procedures that are independent of content. This convention is consistent with the observation that particular spontaneous AE signals are often generated simultaneously by more than one signalling method (Inman, 1970; Mey-boom et al., 1997a). AE signalling methods can be applied to report/case sets numbering from one to thousands, range in applicability from extremely limited to nearly universal, and encompass a variety of functions from simple sorting procedures for creating workable subsets of reports (Finney, 1971a; Amery, 1999) to complex analyses of case series that eventually come to be regarded as definitive (Blum et al., 1994).

Lillian and Mom were best friends for many years. I know they are busy catching up in heaven. They have eternity to praise the Lord, meet with Eldora, Esther and others from Emmanuel, and have a great time together. She will be missed by those she left behind, but welcomed by those she met in heaven. Love you all!
My mother Lucy Steele really thought the world of Lilian. I hope they are visiting each other in Heaven.
I know you have wonderful memories.
So sorry for your loss. She was a very special friend to our family. She will be missed by all of us. But she is no longer in pain. And she's up there with my brother and I'm sure their having a good time. Prayers go out to the family during this time.
Sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. Thoughts are with you and your family.

There’s a whole range of looks to choose from this season. Forget boring wintery dark colours and think beautiful patterns, prints and florals, and in a wide range of jewel bright colours – all designed to forget the dark days of winter, and to challenge our ideas of what winter fashions normally look like!
We’ve chosen our top five new looks. Mix and match, if you dare!
What better way to forget its winter than with beautiful floral prints- a real reminder of summer. Dresses are still big news, especially tea dresses rather than skater style. In a bold and exotic print and ideal for day wear, worn with opaque tights and ankle boots, and a long-line cardi, or for evening wear with a gossamer shawl and high heels. Some of the most eye-catching prints are a riot of bright florals on a black back-ground.
If you want to delay wearing a heavy winter coat for as long as possible what better than a Bomber jacket? This season cosy velvet has been used to make softer and less sporty styles, yet with the classic zip front and stand up collar and elasticated wrists. Or faux leather, with fleecy lining. Waist length and fitted but not tight these look great with midi length dresses and skirts and with boots.
The coolest way to keep cosy this winter! They come in sporty or luxe styles, and in a rainbow of colours. Forget bulky granny style puffas and think light, bright and amazingly warm, from waist to midi length, and fully zipped to keep out the cold some styles have discreet quilts but still keep you warm and draught-free. Available in a wide price range, you don’t need to spend a fortune, and most are washable. Choose a bright or more discreet colour if you prefer- either way they’re a great choice this season.
As a contrast to last years’ high and over the knee boots ankle height are this year’s look, but like everything in the fashion world 2016, with a twist! There are your conventional fabrics and styles but also patterned in brocade and velvet and in lots of colours. Heels can be low mid or high but the shape is square block not thin and spindly. Toes are slim and rounded but not pointed. Also some have fringes and tassels. Golden, silver and animal prints add to the vast choice, and add a glamorous look to a plain outfit. OK, not so practical as wellies in the snow but perfect for a new look, and more comfortable if you have wider calves.
Horizontal stripes are big news and feature heavily in knitwear. Woollen dresses are really cosy and this year’s have bright stripes in colour that contrast and clash! Forget the blue and white Bretton summer stripes of summer and think bright reds and yellows. Jumpers are cosy with high necks. Wear with a crazy striped scarf but add contrast with black leggings or trousers.
So as you can see there really is no excuse to wear dark and boring this winter- it’s colour and prints, top-to-toe!

Sunday 15th July was the day that the club used a new format for the Club Championships which incorporated the 142nd Annual Club Championships and for the first time the Annual Mini Gala.
There are too many events to report individually but the full results are now listed on the club website.
There was some brilliant swimming not only by the club swimmers but also the Pelican Centre Stage 3; Stages 4 – 6 and Stage 7 swimmers.
Ladies Open Age 100m Breaststroke in a time of 1.17.94, a record that had stood for 15 years.
WELL DONE TO all swimmers who took part in the day and also to all the volunteers who gave up their valuable “family time” to support on poolside.

A negative judgment on religious Jews coming from the pen of a known French Jew, Bernard Lazare. Phillip Mericle reviews Lazare’s book, Anti-Semitism, Its History and its Causes. In it Lazare presents an objective analysis of the flaws of Judaism. These flaws give basis for the anti-Semitism that has been universal throughout History among differing peoples and circumstances Lazare concludes that the only constant factor contributing towards hostility to the Jews is the behavior of the Jews themselves.
You may have heard about the recent interview of Card. Christoph von Schönborn where he raised the question of women priests as viable. That is shocking in itself and has been the subject of much talk. This week Atila Guimarães looks at that interview under a different light, showing how Schönborn revealed himself to be heretical under two different titles.

It’s an altogether unique sensation, when you are disconnected with who you are as a person and in total synchronization with a completely different character. A lot of the time, it is hard to escape your immediate surroundings, friends, family, and feelings. In fact, I was often overwhelmed with the immediate present state, until I discovered dance.
I was always fascinated by Bharatnatyam, which is an ancient Indian art form. Bharatnatyam refers to the classical dance form that existed in the times of kings and queens and emperors. It symbolizes the stories of the ancient Indian gods and goddesses, the battles they fought, the feelings they had, and the lessons they learned. Bharatnatyam is a unique dance form, which incorporates the rhythmic pattern and technique of dance, as well as the cultural and emotional connection to the same dance, through its story telling.
Dancing is a way for me to completely let go of the present situation and immerse myself in an entirely new character. Whether I am portraying Lord Shiva and his silent grace, Lord Nataraja and his powerful rage, or a simple devotee entranced by the powers of dance, I take on a different role. When I dance, all my energy is channeled into one thing only: performance. When I dance, I perform. I perform for myself, I communicate the feelings, and I celebrate the intricacies. Recently, I completed my graduating performance, a 3 hour dance recital for 500 guests, called “Arangetram.” However, that public performance did not mark the end. It was only the beginning of my career. I am still in touch with my Dance school (Tala Shruti School of Dance), and I frequently go back to New Jersey every two weeks to continue learning from my devoted teacher.
I encourage you to take a step. Performing a dance is self-fulfilling. It doesn’t have to be a big show for anyone else. It is a way to forget the stresses of everyday life and channel your energy into creativity. As long as there is an idea and there is a passion, you can communicate that idea with the jumps, leaps, spins, and emotions of dance. The best part is that once you figure out how to do that, you’ll fall in love with the notion, and it will be something that you can never let go. It’s a lifestyle.

The Tennessee Sports Writers Association continued to release its all-state teams and three Trinity Christian Academy tennis players have been named all-state.
Will Richardson was named all-state in the small school division in singles play and the doubles pair of Ben Sidwell and Cam Presley also were selected.
The TCA trio made history this year.
Richardson reached the state semifinals after winning the Region 8 title. He also won both of his singles matches as the Lions claimed the program's first team state championship.
The Sidwell-Presley team also won a state championship. They lost eight games total in the three matches they played in the state tournament. Sidwell was also named the All-West Tennessee Player of the Year after being a part of two state championships.
As a singles player, Sidwell did not lose to another small school player the entire season.

Just like 100% of all the other marketing-experts, we love Hubspot, whose advice is worth taking when it comes to things to do and not to do on social media. Here's their take on social media marketing strategies that is sure to bring you new business.
Most real estate agents have a social media presence, and it is a good thing since buying or selling a home is an important financial and emotional decision for most people. They are usually full of questions, and social media provides an excellent platform to address their concerns in (almost) real-time with posts or private messages. Your clients want more than someone with a real estate license. They want an agent who will protect their interests and help them navigate the complexities of property ownership.
This is where social media comes in. If you know what you are doing, it is an excellent means to open a dialog, share advice, forge a relationship with current and ex-buyers, sellers and renters. Here is a hand list of social media do's and don'ts for real estate agents. For more details, check out Hubspot's original article.
Use your social media channels to give potential clients a better understanding of the markets you serve, letting them know the advantages and disadvantages of each neighborhood.
Studies show that consumers want to make a personal connection with the professionals they are doing business with. So if you were planning to employ a ghost-writer to post all your stuff, don't.
Social media is a perfect platform to educate the people you are doing business with and help them avoid common, or even lesser known pitfalls of the industry they are not that well versed in.
Be ready for outreach from your clients on social media, whether it is in the form of a tweet or a personal message on Facebook, Tumblr, or the likes - especially in the earlier stages of the buying process.
Respond promptly, be polite and engage readers who post comments on your posts and sites. Don't feel, however, compelled to respond to those who post abusive comments since social media does lure its share of online bullies.
It's absolutely okay to let people know about the homes you're wanting to sell, but avoid making the house itself the primary topic of your conversation - focus on the questions your buyers and sellers ask you.
Today, almost half the people watch more than an hour's worth of Facebook or YouTube videos a week. It's self-explanatory, so to say: home buyers are visual buyers, so a well placed and shot video creates an emotional connection that profits both you and your clients.
Keep in mind: not all your clients are new to the buying process - the National Association of Realtors (NAR) says that 36% of home buyers are 37 years old or younger, however, more than 80 million Facebook users today are 45 or older.
Social media is more about listening than about talking. Your post, link, or tweet on your profile might look nice to you, but it means very little if it doesn't resonate with the people who are following your page.
Although you helped these people buy or sell the house they wanted, count them in to your community even later on. At the end of the day, your followers may prove themselves to be your strongest advocates and a testament to your professional attitude and skills.

The Patriots star tight-end, Rob Gronkowski, said pretty much everything you would expect and want to hear from a great, level-headed player who just loves football and wants to get back on the field ASAP in the wake of the punishments handed down by the NFL, reprimanding the New England Patriots and QB Tom Brady for the DeflateGate scandal.
Kudos to Gronk for expressing himself in such an eloquent manner on ESPN’s His & Hers on Wednesday evening. He’s sure not the only one that has Brady’s back, that’s for sure.

Spider-Man for PS4 is a hit among gamers and in Marvel's style, there are many references to its own universe.
Players would love webslinging across New York, as there are plenty of locations around the map that Marvel fans will immediately recognize.
Though players cannot interact with these locations, they are nonetheless exciting.
Check out the top 5 locations you should definitely visit in-game.
If you happen to be swinging by the Upper East Side of New York in the game, you can notice the Avenger's headquarters.
The tall tower is hard to miss as it dominates the skyline and looms over the Empire State building.
Check out the headquarters of the earth's mightiest heroes, especially now Peter has been dubbed as an Avenger in the Infinity War.
All Spider-Man fans will immediately recognize this building located in mid-town Manhattan.
The Daily Bugle used to be Peter Parker's old employers and the boss Jonah Jameson is the man who made Spider-Man look like enemy number one.
It is good to see old familiar places from afar, so zip by the building as you go on your way to fight crime.
Head over to 177 A Bleecker Street, if you want to visit the sanctum of Dr. Stephen Strange.
Remember the cool building which Thor visited when he was looking for Odin; that building is in the game.
However, you cannot enter the building as Spider-Man, so you will not be able to see all the cool magical artifacts, Strange has stored in there.
Ever since Wakandans made their foray into the global spotlight, they have had a seat of power.
The country with rich vibranium resources gave Marvel the most beloved character- Black Panther.
Spider-Man can visit the Wakandan embassy, but don't hope for vibranium suits. He cannot even get in.
Notably, the Wakandan flag outside the embassy is also visible in-game at the UN.
Head to the corner of Central Park, a really posh real estate area, to see Fisk Towers.
It is, of course, owned by Spider-Man and Daredevil's enemy, Wilson Fisk. Since Spider-Man will have to face Fisk, better known as Kingpin, in a few missions in-game, players should definitely drop by.
The amazingly tall tower is proof that sometimes crime does pay!

The RPS-ATX is a PC Card that is connected to the power pins on your ATX Motherboard. A separate power supply ( which is plugged into the same power source as your computer.) is connected to the RPS-ATX. When power is removed from the system, your system shuts down. When power returns, the RPS-ATX detects the return and automatically closes the connection to your power reset pins for 1 or 3 seconds. This restarts your computer just as if you ‘pushed the power on button’ for the system. The RPS-ATX only function is to push the power button when the power returns. It simply restarts your computer when power is detected to the RPS-ATX power supply. To remotely reboot your computer, use the RPS-ATX with our Power Stone RPS, (See Below ) which will allow you to reboot a ATX System remotely by telephoning the Power Stone RPS and initiating a power down/power up to the connected RPS-ATX power supply, thereby power up / rebooting your ATX System. Our RPS-ERP II Remote Power Control Unit will allow you to perform this same function over the internet using your web browser.
How do I connect the RPS-ATX to my computer?
The RPS-ATX PC Board contains 4 pins for power on/off operation. Also supplied is 2 cables. One connects to the RPS-ATX and the Power Button on your ATX Computer. The other from the RPS-ATX to the Power Pins on your ATX Motherboard.
Installation requires you to open your computer, make the necessary connections, install the RPS-ATX PC Card and connect the power supply to the same power supply as your computer. If necessary, and to save a slot, the metal support bracket maybe removed from the card and velcro used to mount the unit inside your computer case.
The transformer used with the unit has input requirements of 120V 60HZ 18W and supplies output of 9VAC 1000mA.
My computer is being randomly powered down or resetting after I have installed the RPS-ATX unit. What is happening?
1) Go into your bios and make sure the power button control is not set for ‘Immediate Off’ when the power button is depressed. Instead set it for one of the other settings ( 10 second hold etc.) If a failure occurs to your computer, the power goes out. The RPS-ATX will function correctly when the power is restored by closing the contacts signalling the computer to start. Powering off the computer should not be a problem as you should have several options to stop the flow of electricity.
2) A brown out may cause the unit to detect removal of electricity. If possible, your configuration should make sure the power flow is available through a UPS with any remote activation devices placed after the UPS power supply.
3) If you have the RPS-ATX connected to your reset pins of the motherboard, try placing the connectors onto the power pins instead. This will give you greater control over the reboot functions of the computer.
Most computers will work flawlessly with the RPS-ATX device and require no further ‘tweaking’.

Light of Altair is a real-time strategy game about the colonization of space, starting in 2062AD. It follows the story of Adrian Alandan who is tasked to investigate and colonize planets in the proximity of Earth, following a great war for resources that changed Earth permanently. By 2020AD, Asia surpassed the USA as an economic giant, while Africa developed quickly following a wave of revolutions. Consequently the demand for oil skyrocketed and all eyes were set on the remaining large fields in the Middle East. Africa felt the tendency of protectionism and took the initiative, marching into Europe and walking over its aged army, that was barely able to eventually regroup and force peace. Meanwhile the USA and China competed for world dominance, but the latter got the upper hand through its space programs where weapons were launched. That way, the USA was forced to join a world order that surpassed the concept of countries. The UEO, United Earth Order, was formed, working together to clean the scorched Earth of radioactive dust. Due to the dwelling resources, in 2062AD the first permanent colony on the Moon was established, and from there the game takes off.
Seemingly a typical 4X game at first, Light of Altair is more accessible to play through having the computer handle a number of tasks that need to be done manually in games like Sword of the Stars or Galactic Civilizations. The UEO will soon be threatened through political developments on Earth by new factions, such as The States of New Europe and a conservative New America, along with purely economic groups. In a large number of missions, different planets need to be colonized. Each planet, shown as a 3D globe, is divided into different sectors where Colony HQs can be established. From there, Hydrophonics need to be built to provide food, while Solar Arrays provide power. From this basic setup, the population growth, overall happiness, available food and resources can be checked. Players can then expand through Research Centers, Mines (to dig up ore), Industrial Centres (to process the ore into goods that can be traded) and Starports where the trade routes are developed. Players only have control of construction and the strategical decisions. Later in the game, multiple sectors can be colonized and it is possible to zoom out to visit other planets in the asteroid belt and even different galaxies. Next to trade of processed resources, money can also be earned through taxes on the colonies.
When things go awry, a military component is added, through of minor importance compared to the economic management. The player can build fuel provisions and shipyards, where different ships can be designed, outfitted with different types of weapons and defence mechanisms, and be added to fleets. These fleets can defend a planet, attack another one or engage a different fleet. This results into large-scale battles in space, where the player only gives general instructions and watches the conflict unfold. Often, two factions will be colonizing the same planet. For each of the buildings, there are upgraded versions (e.g. a Nuclear Reactor instead of a Solar Array), but these require research and certain tiers based on the player's achievements. Every type of construction drains the earned money and they also requires upkeep. The story is furthered through gameplay intermissions by different factions. The UEO leaders also require specific milestones to progress and take back their funds when they are not met.

UCLA freshman Ariana Berlin has been named the Pacific-10 Conference Gymnast of the Week for Feb. 6 - Feb. 12, Commissioner Tom Hansen announced today.
Berlin, a freshman walk-on from Del Cerro, Calif., who is competing in gymnastics for the first time since 2001 (she retired from the sport at age 14 after a serious car accident), has competed in the all-around in UCLA's last five meets and improved upon her total in each meet. She has hit every single routine she has competed in this season, going 26-for-26. No other UCLA gymnast has hit as many routines without a fall this year.
In a quad meet at California on Feb. 10, Berlin placed second in the all-around with a then-personal-best 39.075 to help the Bruins achieve a season-high team score of 196.5. Berlin scored a career-high 9.8 on bars and tied her career-best with a 9.775 on floor to place seventh (she broke that mark two days later against Washington). She also added scores of 9.8 on vault and 9.7 on beam.
On Feb. 12 against Washington, Berlin won the first all-around title of her collegiate career, scoring a career-best 39.2 to take first-place honors. She earned scores of 9.825 on vault, 9.75 on bars, a career-high 9.775 on beam in the leadoff position, and 9.85 on floor (career-high, tied for second place). Her scores helped UCLA win the meet, 195.55-193.2.
UCLA has won five consecutive meets and is undefeated since Berlin started competing in the all-around.
The Bruins (12-1) will next face top-ranked and defending NCAA champion Georgia in Athens on Feb. 17, before returning home to host Arizona State, Cal State Fullerton and UC Davis on Feb. 19.
Also Nominated: Aubrey Taylor, ARIZONA; Ashley Kelly, ARIZONA STATE; Britani Pittulo, CALIFORNIA; Jami Lanz, OREGON STATE; Liz Tricase, STANFORD; Kelly McDonald, WASHINGTON.
2006 Pac-10 Gymnasts of the Week: Jan. 17 - Tabitha Yim, STANFORD; Jan. 24 - Ashley Kelly, ARIZONA STATE; Jan. 31 - Aubrey Taylor, ARIZONA; Feb. 6 - Kristina Comforte, UCLA; Feb. 13 - Ariana Berlin, UCLA.

It is great to hear from so many schools that they are learning about and making prayer flags. They captivate with their bright colours, connections to the elements, and beauty in natural settings. Prayer flags are an important part of Buddhist and Sherpa culture and you see them flying from mountain summits, mountain passes, on stupas, and almost any windy place that people travel.
Prayer flags mark the entrance to the route through the Khumbu Icefall and they also mark the exit. Icefalls are areas on glaciers/mountains that breed fear into the hearts of mountaineers. They are avoided if possible but sometimes, the only route is through. We try to minimize the exposure to the falling ice dangers by moving as quickly as possible. For a first passage, through the Khumbu Icefall, it will take 6-8 hours. Sherpas do it much faster. This season, the government of Nepal allowed climbing teams to fly the rope and hardware for fixing the rope past camp two by helicopter to camp one. This reportedly saved 85 sherpa trips through the icefall. The 2014 tragedy where 16 sherpa were killed by an avalanche into the Khumbu icefall is fresh on everyone’s minds. The route is now more central to lessen the risk of such avalanches reaching the route. The route through the icefall is maintained by a group of sherpas called “The Icefall Doctors.” They are hired by the national park and each climber pays a fee to use the route.
If you look closely at the picture above, (you might have to zoom in), you can see climbers and sherpas descending the route. I watched them all morning during the Puja. I counted 12 perhaps, you can see more. The icefall scares everyone and we will climb through it in the cold of night to also help mitigate the risk. In my book, I call it a “horrible beautiful place.” Living here beside it once again, those words still stand through and I’m hoping my passage and those of all others are marked by beauty not tragedy.
Oh wow. This truly is hard to imagine. I wish you safe travels across and eagerly look forward to the next blog. 🙂 Your courage is helping me to stay courageous in my own journey of taking care of my health. Thank you for following your dreams and at the same time inspiring us to live ours ❤ Stay safe.
We finished our prayer flag today and hung them across our classroom. We will tag you on twitter so you can see the photos. Thanks for the shout-out and for answering our questions.
Colby says that snow yields less water than ice because ice is denser than snow.
Glad to hear you are felling a little better and were able to rest today!

Scotlands Moorland Forum has established a novel project named Upland Solutions, which seeks to gain the views of people with experience of upland sporting management in two study areas.
The forum was established in 2002 to provide an opportunity for a range of organisations to come together to consider issues that affect the management and future of Scotlands iconic moorland and upland areas. Twenty-four organisations founded the forum and membership has since expanded to 30.
The forum is dedicated to understanding the challenges that face Scotlands moorland and upland areas, as well as to identifying and enabling solutions. The future viability of these areas is critical to the delivery of key economic, social, cultural, environmental and ecosystem benefits. In addition to the backing of the forums 30 member organisations, we have particular support for the Upland Solutions project from the minister for environment and other key stakeholders. Focusing on two study areas, namely the region surrounding Muirkirk and the Upper Findhorn Catchment, southwest of Tomatin, the project will obtain the views of landowners, land managers, communities and other interests about the management of their upland areas.
The project will cover three themes: upland economics, upland birds and carbon. It will identify practical problems and, more importantly, practical solutions at ground level. The project will also aim to identify and understand where there are blockages (for example, institutional or regulatory) to what would otherwise be practical solutions.
At workshops in each area members of the forum will listen to and discuss the day-to-day problems faced by the people managing the two study areas. Experience of solutions to similar problems that have worked in other areas will be explored to see if they can be applied in the study areas. Ultimately this project is focused on identifying practical solutions to practical problems. Our findings will therefore be disseminated to other landowners,land managers, local communities and the public agencies. Where we identify solutions that are frustrated by institutional or regulatory obstacles, these will be taken up with the relevant minister, officials and agencies.
The Upland Solutions project will also provide the forum with a first-hand understanding of issues that we will present in a report to the minister for environment and use to inform an upland strategy that we plan to develop during the year. A workshop will be held in the Muirkirk area on 25 February and this will be followed by one at Tomatin on 4 March. A flyer, which includes an application form, can be downloaded from the forums website at www.moorlandforum.org.uk or by contacting Alison Young at info@moorlandforum.org.uk, or tel 01387 723201.
I hope that this project will help to make a difference, but we cannot do this without the support of the shooting community in the study areas. People in or near the two study areas are encouraged to attend to have their views heard.

TMZ has learned that just weeks before Donda West died, a plastic surgeon refused to perform procedures on her because of a health condition that could have led to a heart attack.
We've learned Beverly Hills physician, Dr. Andre Aboolian, was set to perform a tummy tuck and breast reduction on Ms. West, but told her she needed to get clearance from an internist whom Dr. Aboolian recommended. We're told West never went to that doctor, and subsequently had the procedures performed -- but not by Dr. Aboolian.

Angelique Clemons Kitchen design ideas, 2018-09-10 14:31:31. If you find it too expensive to remodel your kitchen, just organize it better so that you have enough space for all your appliances. Make space by simply fixing a beautiful wrought iron curtain rod on the wall above your counter. Hang attractive towels from it, and use s-hooks to hang ladles and frequently used pans from it. You will free up shelf space to store utensils that you use only infrequently, such as when you entertain.
Reina Wright Kitchen design ideas, 2018-09-11 05:44:53. For homes which has more space then straight kitchen is not a good choice as it will give an odd feeling.
Esther Spencer Kitchen design ideas, 2018-09-12 06:45:34. And finally, I just didn't have enough space on my counter top to put my microwave and my food processor. I needed more counter top, in a kitchen that wasn't going to expand. I summoned my carpentry skills, and constructed a little cupboard with a counter top and casters instead of feet. I placed all the stuff I couldn't fit into my kitchen in the shelf space in the cabinet and on the counter top. I left this outside the kitchen most of the time, and only slid it into the kitchen when I needed it.

Small group adventure travel company G Adventures has announced the purchase of British cruise line Swan Hellenic after the line’s parent company, All Leisure Group, folded in January.
According to Cruise Critic, All Leisure Group was taken under management by a court-appointed administrator earlier this year, which caused stress for travelers who had already purchased vacations on the company’s 352-passenger Minerva cruise ship.
Many of the customers impacted by the failure of All Leisure Group were comforted to hear that G Adventures had not only acquired the Swan Hellenic cruise line, but was also planning on restarting the voyages in 2018.
The new Swan Hellenic itineraries are scheduled to be announced this summer, and all customers who booked a voyage for 2017 have been advised to contact the All Leisure Group’s administrator Grant Thornton LLP.
In addition to acquiring the Swan Hellenic cruise line from the All Leisure Group, G Adventures also recently purchased two of the failing company’s other travel brands, Travelsphere and Just You.
For more information on G Adventures, check out TravelPulse’s coverage of the travel company.

Read about DuPage Water Commission and Lead and see water quality reports on the Comprehensive Chemical Analysis page.
In 1992, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) adopted the Lead and Copper Rule for drinking water. Lead or copper in tap water is primarily due to corrosion of plumbing system components within buildings. Plumbing components include copper pipes, lead-based solder used to join segments of copper pipe, and faucets made from brass that contains lead.
The rule sets action levels for lead and copper in standing samples collected from faucets with the highest risk for elevated lead and copper levels. The action level for lead is 15 micrograms per liter of water. This compares to 1/10 of one teaspoon of sugar in 10,000 gallons of water. The copper action level is 1.3 milligrams per liter of water. If the monitoring results for a public water system exceed the action level for lead, the water system must conduct a public information campaign, and may be required to treat source water to control corrosion.
The Chicago Water Department, the agency that treats the water provided by the DuPage Water Commission, is adding blended phosphates for corrosion control to comply with the Lead and Copper Rule. The function of the blended phosphates is to provide a coating on the interior of the watermains, house services and interior plumbing to prevent lead and copper leaching.
Use only fresh water from the cold water tap for drinking, cooking, or making baby formula. If a faucet has not been used for more than 6 hours, get fresh water from the main. Run the cold water faucet until the water is noticeably colder (usually about 15-30 seconds).
If you need hot water for drinking or cooking, draw fresh water from the cold water tap and heat it.
Use only lead-free solder when making plumbing repairs. It’s the law: Illinois banned the use of lead-based solder in water systems in 1988.
When selecting a new faucet, check the label for information on lead content or lead leaching potential.

The Community College Renaissance has ended and today's financial, political, and higher education environment poses unprecedented challenges for its leaders. Public financial support and trust in governance, quality, productivity, and college value are eroding. The League for Innovation Trends Report (2015) suggests that the modal time for presidents in their role has declined from 11-15 years in 1997 to 1-5 years in 2015, with an average of 2.8 years. Speakers will address how presidents operate in today's environment and the impact of the ubiquitous change in community college leadership.
The presenter will provide an overview of the federal agenda with respect to higher education and its potential impact on community colleges as presented by President Trump or the Secretary of Education.
The movement of higher education's focus from access to completion calls for new ways to assess affordability and accessibility. Policy initiatives such as performance-based funding only mask the structural issues found in financial systems rooted in past practices and not suited for the next generation innovations needed to enhance our institutions. Speakers will discuss factors inhibiting change to higher education models and efforts by colleges to ensure their future relevance and economic sustainability.
Higher education needs highly effective institutional leaders in every community college. Entrepreneurship, innovation, and experts collaborate to accelerate innovation as thought partners in institutional and community change. The speakers will discuss the alignment of entrepreneurism and transformative innovation, how community college leaders can lead efforts toward a better understanding of social issues surrounding access to opportunity for underserved communities, and how concern can be mitigated by such thinking.
The presenter will provide a reaction to the day's panels and presentations, as well as the future of innovation and entrepreneurship in community colleges.

I’ve long been looking for a place where the story could reach a larger audience (when I was at BYU, The Leading Edge—despite having some very high quality fiction in it—had a distribution of under a hundred copies.) So I sent the story over to Tor.com, asking if they’d consider it even though it had appeared before in a small publication. Patrick enjoyed the story, and said he might be interested in it if we put it through some editorial work. Moshe, my editor, gave it a very strong edit (something it really, really needed.) A few months later, here it is! With an illustration by Donato, no less. I’m flattered.
I did an audio reading of “Firstborn” for Tor.com as well. Look for it in the “Listen” link in the upper-left corner of the page. There’s also a “Buy Download Version” link where you can get the book forKindle, Nook, or iBooks.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the story. It’s completely free to read, courtesy of Tor. I don’t even think you have to register for the newsletter. (Though you may want to do so, as you’ll get emails with other short story links in them.) Just as an aside, I think that the staff over at Tor.com have really pulled out the stops to create an excellent website filled with serious goodies. They’re still releasing free ebooks regularly, as well as high-quality short stories. Give them a little pat on the back by signing up for the newsletter and maybe posting a comment or two on stories/posts you like. I think they’d appreciate knowing that they are on the right track.
