Logan Watley is the President of the Lincoln Running Co. Racing Team. Logan discusses this year’s success and upcoming plans for LRC Racing.
Will: The Lincoln Running Co. Racing Team is over a year old now and the team has come a long way. What is the highlight of your first year?
Logan: We are actually coming up on the three year anniversary of LRC Racing becoming a formal team. It’s hard to pick just one highlight of the past three years but having our men and women’s teams win the Team Challenge at Hospital Hill was pretty cool, as well as having the top Nebraska finisher in 3/4 races at the Lincoln Full/Half marathon this past year.
Will: Will you be sending a team to New York City for next month’s USA Club Track & Field Championships? Who’s on the traveling roster?
Logan: We will not be sending anyone to NYC at the end of this month. We would definitely like to send a team, but we have limited funds available to us and going to NYC just isn’t financially viable for us at this time. Hopefully next year!
Will: What is the size of your group now? Are they primarily located in Lincoln?
Logan: Our team is now made up of 8 women and 16 men. I would say that the team is primarily based out of Lincoln, but we really are all over! We’ve had or currently had members in Kearney, York, Seward, Beatrice and of course a small contingent starting in Omaha.
Will: LRC Racing seems to be dialed in on the local team competitons, congratulations on the club wins at last weekend’s Hospital Hill Half Marathon. How are your teams selected?
Logan: Our team places a lot of focus on local/regional races. Along with being a financial issue, one of the goals of our team is to help promote running in the community, and what better way than supporting our local races? Teams are primarily split by the individual’s themselves, and really any team competition is open to anyone on our team.
Will: Is LRC a group based training program? Who is the Head Coach for the club?
Logan: We are definitely a group-based training program. We realize that everyone’s schedule is a little different, but we have a few different groups that train together during any given week. It helps when those groups are training for the same distance and the same race. We don’t have a “Head Coach”, but we do have a Board who helps run the team’s activities and several high school and college coaches who provide additional resources to our athletes, specifically in the form of training plans or workout ideas.
Will: You have a nice mix of talent, both your men and women have represented well this spring/summer. Any up and comers we should look out for?
Logan: Lots of improvement has happened in our team this last year. Eric Noel has ran two marathons at 2:30 or faster, Neil Wolford ran a 3 minute PR in the half at Lincoln (1:08:30), Michael Rathje cut 2 minutes off his half PR at Lincoln (1:10:45), Hannah Kinberg debuted in the Lincoln marathon at 2:53, Frankie Petersen cut 6 minutes off her marathon time at Lincoln (2:54) and Nora Youngs PR’d by 4 minutes at Lincoln (1:26). Lots of other improvements and great times and those are just a few examples of the members who help make our team standout.
Will: How would you describe the competitive landscape in Nebraska? With Team Nebraska always on the line it sounds like a good time to be a Real Racer.
Logan: Oh, definitely. Team Nebraska has been so good for so long, and NDORFNZ represents well at races too. I think that the competitive landscape is definitely improving with the addition of new teams to the racing landscape.
Will: What are the club’s competition plans for the rest of the summer? Will you be sending a team to Midnight Madness in Ames next month?
Logan: We leave competition choices up to the individuals. We may me sending a team or two to Midnight Madness in Ames, as well as a strong contingent at the USATF NE Association mile championship (Lincoln Mile July 7) and the 5-mile championship (Columbus Downtown Runaround). I’m sure we’ll go to some places next fall, but we won’t have a clearer idea until later this summer/early fall.
Will: What is something you would like everyone to know about Logan Watley, the runner.
Logan: I really enjoy training with other people. Ever since my wife and I moved to Elkhorn, it’s been tough to find a consistent training group that fits my work schedule.
Will: What is something you would like everyone to know about Lincoln Running Co. Racing Team?
Logan: We are a team made up of like-minded individuals who really just enjoy running. It can be really easy to just stop running, and our hope is that our team helps provide the opportunities that will keep those runners running.

One year ago, they were political novices facing their first General Election. It was all new, from drafting rally speeches, to winning the loyalty of grassroots leaders, to knocking on the doors of constituents.
In the past year, they have had to grow up quickly, in between making parliamentary speeches and serving their constituents. Some had to pick up new skills such as line dancing and hip-hop steps. Others had to reconcile their personal views with that of their party.
There were also policies such as the GST hike, the offset package, and the ministerial pay increase that they have had to help explain to residents on the ground.
Friday Insight asks the 25 new MPs, including Non-Constituency MP Sylvia Lim, to reflect on the past 12 months. However, MPs Grace Fu and Hri Kumar are abroad, Christopher De Souza is preparing for a High Court hearing while Lui Tuck Yew declined to comment.
It was lost when I joined the Workers’ Party in 2001. The awakening was the limited party resources which, in turn, challenged each of us to contribute to party capability building.
To wear pants instead of a skirt. Too much running around and trudging through carparks, void decks and schools to bother about elegance!

Geologists find a giant magma chamber under the North Island.
Scientists have discovered a significant magma chamber near the small New Zealand town of Matata.
The magma build-up, dubbed a “zombie volcano”, could be the beginnings of a new volcano, but experts aren’t expecting an eruption anytime soon.
Since 1950, enough magma to fill 80,000 Olympic-size swimming pools has squeezed up beneath the surface.
The chamber’s existence explains the recent spate of earthquakes, previously attributed to tectonic shifts.
“There’s no need to panic, but chances are there are lots of bodies of magma dotted throughout the crust,” according to GMS Science geologist Ian Hamling.
Hamling doesn’t expect the volcano to form within our lifetime, but his team are planning further studies to the development of a warning system for earthquakes in the area.
Contained deep within the Earth, volcanos are vents where molten rock, debris, and gases from the planet's interior are emitted.
When thick magma and gas build up under the surface, volcanoes expel lava, rocks and ash into the air. The mountain-like mounds that we associate with volcanoes are what remains after material spewed during eruptions has hardened around the vent.
A large eruption can be extremely dangerous for people living near a volcano. Flows of searing lava can reach 1,250 degrees or more, burning everything in its path, including humans and entire towns. Ash and toxic gases can cause lung damage and other problems.
It’s estimated that more than 260,000 people have died in the past 300 years from volcanic eruptions and their aftermath.
About 1,900 volcanoes on Earth are considered active, meaning they show some level of activity and are likely to explode again. Many other volcanoes are dormant, showing no current signs of exploding but likely to become active at some point in the future. Others are considered extinct.

If you are not familiar with the fictional character, Bob the Skull, from Jim Butcher’s “Dresden Files” series of best-selling books, what you are about to read will bring you up to speed on the character and teach you everything you need to know. I dare say, you’ll be able to carry on a conversation with a Dressie* and pass as one of us. If you’re already a fan of the “Dresden Files,” not only will this article be a good refresher for you to read and brush-up on your Bob knowledge base, but it will also help you ferret out folks who are trying to pass themselves off as fans, and therefore, cool.
Bob the Skull started his literary life as many of Butcher’s creations do—someone presented him with a challenge. Way back in the day when Butcher was unpublished and still working on pulling the pieces of the “Dresden Files” together, he realized he needed a means to explain the mechanics of magic to his readers without info-dumping. Debbie Chester, his writing teacher at the time, advised her student that by adding a character to specifically discuss the nature of magic with Harry was fine, but to be careful not to make this new character a “talking head” (a character whose sole purpose is to dispense information).
Bob is a spirit of intellect bound to a human skull by Etienne the Enchanter during the Middle Ages in France; Etienne was burned at the stake during the Inquisition. At this time Bob was not called Bob, he was simply a tool used to assist wizards in the lab, like a talking book.
As a spirit of intellect he is unable to make moral differentiations between good and evil, as he simply dispenses knowledge; he has no control and little interest in how the knowledge he gives is applied or utilized by the wizard. Additionally, the spirit is unable to forget anything he has learned unless he is directly commanded to do so by his current “master.” This has proved to be as troublesome as doing so created Evil Bob.
Of particular note, the spirit of intellect tends to take on something of the personality of his current master; one may assume this is so he can be a better lab assistant, on some level inferring what his master’s needs are or where his train of thought is heading, thereby making him more able to fulfill their needs.
After having been created and utilized by Etienne, the skull’s next master was the very evil warlock and necromancer, Heinrich Kemmler. For about forty years the two pursued the dark arts, practicing what the warlock called “true magic,” the magic that controlled life and death. During this time, an era Bob prefers to forget, he had no personality; he did nothing but spew information when commanded to do so. The White Council considered Kemmler too dangerous a warlock to live and passed a death sentence upon him. According to the skull, Kemmler was killed by the Council first in 1890, then again near the end of World War Two, and again in 1961. The skull was with Kemmler for a significant period of time, during which the necromancer did a great deal to warp the spirit’s budding personality.
After the 1961 slaying of Kemmler the White council believed Bob was destroyed; in fact, the skull was taken by Warden Justin DuMorne. It was while the skull was under the control of DuMorne he was instructed to forget the work he did with Kemmler, as the knowledge could not be destroyed. The spirit trapped within the skull is knowledge, it’s literally the stuff he’s made of; telling him to forget something is no different than asking someone to chop off an arm.
After Harry was almost killed, mostly dead for a while, Bob was taken by Doctor Waldo Butters who, unlike Harry, was not shy about using the spirits knowledge to improve his functionality and boost his magical ability. Although Butters is what I would consider a high functioning adult, as he is a medical examiner for the city, he is also something of an uber-nerd, not just a gamer but also a huge fan of polka music. Since his master is now Butters, Bob’s personality has shifted, but not a great deal. He is still cracking wise and making with the jokes, a trait Butters has himself, but he is more mature with how he goes about his humor. Since coming into Butter’s possession we have learned Bob is, as far as spirits go, attractive, appearing as a mortal man in the spirit realm. The interior space of the skull has been fully decked out with a lavishly set dining room table filled with a Thanksgiving feast. Butters, not being a wizard, is able to keep electric appliances in his home, thereby granting Bob access not only to Xbox and Netflix but also the internet.
Bob the Skull is the classical Jungian archetype of God. Bob the Skull, in spite of being a spirit, is the epitome of maleness and masculinity who when asked a question by Harry tells him what he needs to know and not necessarily what Harry wants to know. Bob can only offer advice; he will never give more information than was asked for and no matter what path Harry chooses to take, Bob will never judge, although he already knows Harry walks the Way of the Hero.
So, with the release of Jim Butcher’s new installment of the “Dresden Files”, “Cold Days” now available, keep all these new and useful Bob info bits at the ready. You never know when they may become useful, either in understanding the books or testing someone who claims to be a fan.

in the St Andrew’s Museum as part of the exhibition Hotpot [food, art + people].
Four soup and conversation events will be hosted in the gallery during the exhibition.
To book your place at the table please contact St Andrews Museum on 01334 659380.
This blog will share the ideas, recipes and documentation from the fours events during the exhibition.
See http://hotpotart.blogspot.com/ for more info about the exhibition.
Mike Small from the Fife Diet Project highlighted some of the issues around what is and isn't available in Fife and the impact of this on health, climate change and the communities we live in. We ate an oatmeal soup with the conversation.
Put the chopped vegetables in a pan with a little oil and toss them in it until clear.
Add the oatmeal and fry with the vegetables for a few minutes.
Add the stock. Simmer for an hour. Add parsley and seasoning.
Just before serving, add the milk and re-heat.
The concentrated pomegranate flavour adds exactly the right balance of sweet and tart so typical of Persian cooking. If you can’t get hold of pomegranate juice, use really tart fruit jelly. Walnuts were so highly regarded that they were reserved for the kings of Persia; once they were taken to Greece, they became the food of the gods, so voluptuous is their oil. When minced and slowly simmered, they make a fabulous accompaniment to venison; it’s deliciously rich and festive.
If using pomegranate juice, put it in a wide pan and boil it down until only 3 or 4 tablespoons of syrup remain. It will be reduced by the time the meat has cooked. Chop the walnuts into small crumbs. Fry them gently in a teaspoon of oil, stirring for about fifteen minutes until they darken, then draw them off the heat.
Fry the onion in oil till golden brown, then add the meat and brown that too. Add just enough stock to cover the meat, cover, and simmer gently for 30 minutes. Then add the fried walnuts and simmer for another 30 minutes, topping up with stock if necessary.
Then stir in the pomegranate paste (or jelly) and continue to simmer until the meat is tender (about another 30-45 minutes, longer for shoulder). Season with salt and pepper, adding lemon juice if necessary to increase the note of tartness. Serve with steamed spinach and plain or saffron rice. For festive sparkle, strew some jewel-like pomegranate seeds over the rice.
The Fletchers contribute to a wide ranging discussion on meat production and consumption, bringing in issues of health, the environment, animal welfare, government support (or lack of), taste and cost.
The duck soup suggested by Nichola was made from local ingredients including a wild Fife duck and for my first duck soup was apparently very good (I had assistance from a meat eater).
1. Roast a duck for about an hour then take off the flesh and put to one side to cool. Keep covered and refrigerate once cool.
2. Put the carcass plus two onions, two carrots, stick or two of celery, fresh parsley, a couple of bayleaves, pinch of thyme (fresh f you have it) in a pot, cover with water and simmer for 3 hours until reduced to a stock.
4. Add roasted meat, stock and a handful or two of pearl parley and lentils. Boil until the barley is soft.
To book your place at the table please contact St Andrews Museum 01334 659380. Please let us know if you have any dietary requirements so we can provide an alternative soup if necessary.
The discussion will be initiated by Nicola and John Fletcher and we will be serving duck soup with false moustaches.
Nichola Fletcher is a food writer, food historian and food producer. (She is also a designer and goldsmith but that is another story). One of her specialist interests is meat, particularly game meats. The topics she finds interesting are the cultural aspects of meat-eating, both in the past and now, as well as peoples' perceptions (often erroneous) of what meat-eating involves and the corollary to that: what not eating meat involves. Power, religion, heresy, feasting, joy, denial, survival, climate - all these and more are involved.
John Fletcher is a qualified vet who did a PhD from Cambridge many years ago on the deer on the Isle of Rum. They won his heart and made him realise how easily they can be farmed. In 1973 he started a deer farming enterprise in Auchtermuchty with Nichola Fletcher. From the beginning the idea was to produce venison in a way comparable to the many medieval deer parks. John has written a book about their system of producing the meat and the thinking behind it and also pointing out the theory widely accepted by scientists that because humans have been eating game meat for up to 50,000 years this is the meat which they are best equipped to metabolise. John looks forward to discussing a meat that he describes as exquisite and 'ticks all the environmental boxes'.
Eva Schonveld runs Transition Scotland Support, which aims to support people who want to use the Transition model to re-localise their communities. This means communities taking back responsibility for feeding themselves and producing their own energy as well as many of the other things we need to sustain ourselves and thrive. This can lead to more local employment, better health, and more fulfilling social relations, as well as being a way to tackle the problems of climate change and the ever rising price of oil.
Eva co-organised the first National Local Food Gathering in Dunbar in October 2009, and has been helped set up 'Nourish' the new Scottish local food organisation. She enjoys cooking and specially eating food, and is keen to learn more about growing her own. She has newly moved to Fife with her husband and 3 boys.
The discussion will be initiated by Mike Small and we will be serving an oatmeal soup.
Mike runs the Fife Diet Project, a mass-member food network of people accessing sustainable local food. The project brings people together who want to know where their food comes from and how it was produced, believing that together we can create alternatives to the globalised food system that will be part of our low carbon future. The project aims to help each other re-learn how to eat seasonally and challenge the insanity of food miles. Mike will be talking about recovering our national and local food culture as an antidote to globalisation.
Jane is a local producer and produces ‘Anster’ cheese. The cheese is hand-made on the farm – to a traditional recipe – by Jane, using unpasteurised milk from her husband Robert’s herd of home-bred Holstein Friesian cows. The Stewart family are the only farmers in Fife making cheese, and are now in their third year of production. They also have a coffee shop on the farm, and are a 4 star Visitor Attraction with Visit Scotland - so people can come along to see the cheese being made, and then enjoy luch or coffee and home-baking in this unique venue.
Jane will talk about how she learned to make cheese, and how this new venture complements their existing farming business. She will also talk about challenges she has faced along the way so far, and what plans are for the future. Jane hopes that people will ask questions, and she will be interested to listen to opinions, and talk about local food in general, and its availability in Fife in particular.

The small village of El Mirador lies in the northern part of the coastal municipality of San Javier, an agricultural area which forms part of the arid plain known as the Campo de Cartagena.
Today this is one of the most intensively farmed parts of the municipality, piped irrigation water enabling modern day farmers to produce a wide range of irrigated crops, with much of it under plastic greenhousing.
The warm climate and the irrigation water support the growth of crops such as peppers, courgettes and tomatoes throughout the winter months, and during the summer melons and corn are popular choices.
There is very little documented evidence of the hamlet existing until after the 16th century.
Although Romans and Moors were both known to have been active within San Javier in the preceding centuries (see full history of San Javier), repopulation of the coastal areas after the Reconquest of the Kingdom of Murcia by Castilla in 1243 was fraught with difficulty due to the frequent pirate raids by Berber pirates from northern Africa, which lasted sporadically from the 13th century until the 17th century.
During the 17th century many watchtowers were built along the coast to warn of imminent attacks and to provide refuge for the inhabitants.
Due largely to this constant threat of attack, it was not until the 18th century that the population of areas like San Javier began to grow, as the farms and hamlets expanded and the raids diminished.
El Mirador is mentioned in statistical documents dating from the 16th and 18th centuries, where it is described as a farmhouse or hamlet. The name, which means viewing point, is probably due to it being located in one of the flattest parts of the area to the north of San Javier.
The growth of El Mirador was consolidated in 1779 when the church was built after Pascual Sánchez, a resident of Tarquinales, and Ana Martínez, from Pago del Junco, requested permission for its construction from the Bishop of Cartagena.
In their request they pointed out that it was difficult for residents of El Mirador and Tarquinales to attend Mass daily, especially during the harvest and at other times when the crops needed special attention.
Ana Martínez donated an image of the Virgen del Rosario to the new place of worship, and the church was dedicated to her from that point on. It was commonly known as the church of Tarquinales, and it was mainly the residents of Tarquinales who worked on its construction.
Nowadays El Mirador is one of the most heavily agricultural places in the Region of Murcia. Most of the vegetables and flowers are grown under plastic, and numerous companies and cooperatives maintain high levels of production.
The local fiestas are held in honour of the Virgen del Rosario in the month of September, when for a couple of weeks both locals and visitors enjoy a variety of events in the village.
Where is El Mirador, San Javier?
The history of Los Pinos is closely linked to that of El Mirador. Its full name is Barrio de Los Pinos del Mirador, and it is mentioned as a hamlet in documents from the 17th and 18th centuries.

Coming from Africa, I have been on many safaris, but never as many and as full of game and rhythmical music as my outings on game reviews. If only the overseas tourists realized that real safaris are a far cry from what you find on the reels or on the movies. No guys are sitting in the background following you on a vehicle playing the marimbas while cool cats and friendly elephants cruise over every few minutes to shoot the breeze (of which there is very little on the savannah plains of Africa). I fear they may choose to stay at home and play slots rather in a cool air-conditioned room and a cocktail in their hand.
Safari Adventures is another Platipus Gaming game that is a feel-good offering. The animation offers animals that are dopey and docile in look and could be stuffed animals. The background is an animated African scene. Sticky Wilds and Free Spins make up the most if not all of the game pay in this slot. Which for more advanced players may seem a bit underwhelming.
What was fantastic is that my Mobile Phone and Laptop played this game effortlessly and I had a friend play on her tablet, and it seems Safari Adventures can be found anywhere.
Don’t be fooled into thinking the 5 reels with 50 paylines is going to bring you wins while you walk in the park. This slot offers high volatility, and you will need to be patient while waiting for the wins. However, when they come, they are worth it in value.
Platipus always puts their best foot forward when it comes to animation and Safari Adventures is no exception. The animals are absolutely adorable, and if I could, I would make them come to life in my living room. The medium paying symbols are represented by a pair of African natives, a cuddly lion, docile elephant, dopey Giraffe and coy Zebra. The rest of the symbols are playing card numbers 9 through Ace.
The Wild on the reels is a sunset behind a tree and can replace all symbols except the Scatter.
The Scatter is a Hot Air Balloon symbol.
The control panel is typical Platipus. It is orderly and well set out. On the panel you will find the sound and information symbols on the left and next to them is balance, total bet, line bet, play, and auto play. These will help you maximize your gaming experience.
The first feature is the Free Spin round. During this round, if you land 3 or more Scatters, you will be awarded 10 free spins along with a Sticky Wild and a x2 multiplier.
This round can be retriggered and then you will receive 5 free spins.
Any Wild appearing during the Free Spin Round become Sticky for the whole round. The symbols behind the Sticky Wild do not pay.
In Africa, you have to work hard for a win, and this game offers 10 000 coins for your hard work.
I always enjoy revisiting Africa and all its charm. In fact, visiting it on the slots is much more glamorous and cool than braving Africa's heat in reality. I know that Safari is a pastime for many slot players and this one is enjoyable and has great spin features. Prizes are slow to come but when they do they pay well.
Safari Adventure is going to appeal to a wide audience as it is fun and easy to play. It has credible features on offer, but you need to be as patient as you would be on a real safari, to see the game.

From tap-taps (Haitian taxi) to heartfelt worship, our country is full of rich culture and color! People seem to miss the beauty of Haiti when they focus only on the many challenges facing the people in our country. While it is true that we have had a long history of slavery and exploitation, many people here would love to work. There simply aren’t enough jobs. Too many of us are simply living to survive. Many never had a chance to dream about their future … until LSM supporters came alongside them.
Join us as we share about our beautiful country!
What Does Life in Haiti Look Like?
Protestants are a significant minority with less than 20% being Christians. As Home of Hope parents, we model the love of Christ and pray for our children’s salvation. Our Home of Hope family has daily devotions, attend our local church, participate in youth groups and church choirs. Our family also enjoys visiting other Home of Hope churches throughout the year!
Throughout Haiti, open-air markets are in many villages and towns. At the marketplace you can buy food (produce, grains, meats), charcoal, household items, used clothing and shoes. Vendors sit in the hot sun every day in hopes to make enough money to support their family. Women typically sell much of their family harvest and use the money to buy household foods.
In Southern Haiti, there are beautiful beaches, rivers and a vibrant culture! However, this region is both a strength and a threat for families living here. During the rainy seasons, flooding causes many hardships. Erosion and deforestation also contribute to these problems. Hurricane season and floods affect many families who watch the loss of their home, livestock and crops which results in loss of income. We have many challenges and people can often miss the beauty of our country!
There is a long list of daily tasks for each family member. Women are responsible for cooking, house cleaning and washing clothes by hand. Women and girls are responsible for securing water and firewood and helping with planting and harvesting. Men and boys typically care for the animals and maintaining crops on the family’s plot of land.
Most Haitians are too poor to afford a car. The most common form of transportation is the use of brightly painted pickup trucks or buses used as taxis called “tap-taps”. Another common form of transportation often seen are motorcycles. In rural Haiti, donkeys are used as a way of transporting goods to market or to carry things up the mountain side to small villages.
Medical facilities in Haiti are poorly funded and understaffed. Most health care workers are not properly trained. There is less than one doctor per 4,000 people. Malaria, typhoid, tuberculosis and intestinal parasites are common health issues. As a result, many people have tremendous faith in informal healing procedures such as witch doctors.
Haitian diet is largely based on a staple of rice (which is locally grown) and beans. Another common food we eat are plantains, which look similar to bananas. They are often used as a vegetable side dish. On occasion we can afford meat such as chicken, pork, goat or fish. Haiti also has many tropical fruits such as avocados, mangoes, pineapples, coconuts, and guava.
In rural parts of Haiti, most homes are single-story, with two rooms, usually with a front porch. Houses are constructed of rock with mud, native palm, pine and local hardwoods or cement blocks. Many Haitian homes have thatched roofs and dirt floors. Take a look inside our Home of Hope on the “Kid’s Room” page!
Haiti has over 10 million people and is one of the poorest countries in the world. Haiti is a 90 minute flight away from Florida, it is a world away with 80% of the population living in poverty. Many Haitians are small farmers who work small plots of land. The sights, smells and sounds of Haiti are wonderfully unique but they can’t compare to the beauty and spirit of the Haitian people!
A meal brings families together all over the world.
Quarter the chile and remove the seeds and membranes. Finely chop one quarter; leave the rest in whole pieces. Transfer quartered and chopped chiles to a large Dutch oven or heavy pot with a lid. Add onion, bell peppers, parsley, salt, pepper, thyme and garlic. Stir in vinegar, orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice and Worcestershire sauce. Mix in pork. Cover pot and refrigerate overnight. The next day, remove from refrigerator at least 1 hour and no more than 3 hours before cooking. Heat oven to 325 degrees. Place pot over high heat and bring liquid to a simmer; cover and put pot in oven. Cook, stirring occasionally, until meat is very tender, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Using a slotted spoon, remove meat from pot, allowing all excess liquid to drip back into the pot and picking any bits of vegetables or herbs off the meat. Transfer meat to a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle meat with 2 tablespoons oil and salt to taste, and toss gently to coat. Strain braising liquid, discarding any solids. Return sauce to pot and simmer over high heat until reduced by about half, about 25 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the broiler. Broil meat, tossing occasionally, until meat is evenly browned, about 5 to 10 minutes. You want it nicely browned in spots but not so brown that it dries out.
Haiti to be built on the foundation of Christ.
Those who are trapped in Voodoo practices and sacrifices.
Godly leaders who will lead this country to Christ and address its generational problems.
Those who are in hopelessness and despair.
End the cycle of corruption.
Men and women may be raised up to transform this culture for Christ and establish justice, righteousness and long-term stability.
The Lord’s protection from death for those most vulnerable, such as pregnant women, children and elderly people.

The quality of the pesto is important in this dish so use a good one.
2) Finely mince onion, garlic and pepper in food processor or chopper. Sauté in oil until partially absorbed, add mushrooms and sauté until mushrooms soften a bit. Add tomato sauce, half of the pesto, and wine and allow sauce to simmer while you prepare the rest.
3) In a saucepan, melt margarine and whisk in chickpea flour. When it bubbles, slowly add milk, whisking madly until it thickens. Whisk in the remaining pesto.
4) In a long loaf pan (mine measured 4 1/2 in x 12 in approx), place a thin layer of bechamel. Cover with two uncooked lasagne noodles (it's fine if they overlap a little, or if you have lasagne that's long enough to fill the pan, well and good). Make 4 layers, alternating tomato/mushroom sauce with bechamel and ending with bechamel on top. Sprinkle with parm or cheeze.
5) Cover with foil and bake for about 50 minutes, then uncover and allow top to brown. Serve with a good red wine.
Variation: You can of course make this in a square pan but you'll need more noodles.
Source of recipe: I was thinking about what a "romantic" recipe for 2 would consist of, and came up with this. With a long loaf pan and a good red wine, and something decadent for dessert, you're good to go.
I meant cook covered for 45 min. There's no "modify" button for review posts.
Well, the use-uncooked kind, yes. But Shelloid says if you have plenty of sauce in the dish and cook it uncovered for 45 min you can use regular noodles as well. I haven't tried that because the ones I bought were the new thin kind.
Vidalia onions are like those large, sweet white onions. But red onion is good too because it's sweeter than the Spanish onion kind.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-828-1 is to be housed in the Site-641 marine mammal rehabilitation center located 10 kilometers inland from the coastline of Somerset Island, in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. It is to be kept in regular contact with site personnel and interviewed regularly by the on-site psychologist. To facilitate this SCP-828-1 has been granted limited mobility. It is to be surveilled via a GPS-enabled ankle monitoring system. If SCP-828-1 approaches within 5 kilometers of the ocean it is to be intercepted by onsite security personnel and returned to containment. Following review by the Site Director SCP-828-1 may be placed in restrictive housing. SCP-828-1 is not to come in contact with any prepubescent human subjects. If this occurs SCP-828-1 will be mandatorily placed in restrictive housing and an independent investigation of Foundation personnel will follow.1 SCP-828-1 is to be fed with fish or small whales native to the region2. Only while in a controlled, experimental environment may SCP-828-1 come in contact with SCP-828-2.
SCP-828-2 is contained in the Site-641 reliquary located at the Cunningham Inlet Facility. It is to be inspected bi-weekly for deterioration. A textile restoration technician is to inspect SCP-828-2 bi-monthly for degradation. Repairs will be conducted with the assistance of the on-site, classically trained, Inuit shaman.
Description: SCP-828-1 is a humanoid organism that stands 1.4 meters tall with white, pupilless eyes, long "hair" composed of kelp-like unbranched stipes of Alaria esculenta3. The subject''s skin resembles that of fish of the Myoxophalus4 genus. SCP-828-1 is amphibious but cannot remain out of water for more than 10 minutes without suffering from dehydration. The subject''s hands and feet are webbed to facilitate swimming. Medical examination of the "hair" has revealed that it is permeated by extensive vasculature indicating that the organ is used for gas exchange. The subject''s body appears emaciated but the subject has yet to request food. If offered food SCP-828-1 will consume it "to be polite" but it is unclear if the subject requires regular feeding. The subject was found with severe tooth decay and has been provided with dentures and dental care after containment. When out of water the subject''s skin emits an odor that has been unanimously described as pleasant by all prepubescent human subjects. Importantly, children have described the scent as comforting and "maternal" during interviews. Analysis of the subject''s skin secretions have discovered the presence of a volatile organic substance which may act as a pheromone. It is hypothesized that this compound may aid the subject in its efforts to befriend children. Research into the mechanism of action is ongoing.
SCP-828-1 has been extraordinarily cooperative with Foundation personnel during containment. Psychological analysis reveals that SCP-828-1 exhibits symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder including intrusive recurrent recall, insomnia, and hypervigilance. Paradoxically, these symptoms are exacerbated by exposure to the sea, images of the sea, marine mammals and images of marine mammals. SCP-828-1 also exhibits signs of traumatic bonding to the Foundation and individuals associated with the Foundation. It is the recommendation of the psychological staff that this bond be exploited for the purpose of containment and study.
SCP-828-2 is a heavily water-damaged amauti5 that SCP-828-1 was wearing prior to containment. The garment is made of materials traditionally associated with Inuit clothing, seal fur, caribou hide and thick, woolen duffel. When SCP-828-1 places a child into the carrying pouch of the garment the child is unaffected by cold temperatures or hyperbaric ambient pressure and does not need to breathe. The child remains conscious and aware while contained in SCP-828-2.
Recovery: SCP-828 was recovered from Pangnirtung, Canada when a missing child, Nathan Qappik, thought to have been lost in a sudden storm, was discovered by fishermen on the abandoned island of Iglunga. The following interview was conducted by local representatives of the Canadian Mounted Police.
Foreword: The following interview was conducted after child''s recovery. It has been translated from Inuktitut. Original transcript available on request.
Filigree: Alright little man, why don''t you tell me how you managed to get out on that island?
Qappik: Am I in trouble?
Filigree: What? Of course not. Everybody in town was very worried about you. We''re just happy to have you back but we still need to know how you got out there. Okay?
Filigree: It''s okay. You can keep going.
Qappik: Well, it was high tide, if it wasn''t high tide I would have fallen in the mud. A big wave caught me and I bumped my head. I don''t remember what happened right after.
Filigree: That''s okay. You can tell us what you do remember.
Qappik: Promise you wont think I''m lying?
Qappik: Well I woke up and I was underwater. I could see the sun coming through the waves. It wasn''t cold though, or wet. I felt safe. I felt warm, like I was wrapped in a fur blanket. Oh, and I saw a whale.
Qappik: My fish friend. I was scared at first because she looked weird but she''s nice. She''s the one who caught me when I fell, or at least she said she did but I don''t remember because I hit my head. But she took me out of her amauti and I was dry and she told me where to find stuff for fire and brought me meat that she helped me cook. I stayed on a pier in a fisher shack. It was our secret place.
Filigree: Did your friend have a name?
Qappik: She said "Piitchuq6" but that didn''t make any sense. Anyway, can I see her? She seemed sad and lonely. I don''t think she has any friends. Nobody should live like that.
Filigree: Did she hurt you or do anything strange? Did she say where she was from?
Qappik: No. She was really nice and was real good at fishing. I think it''s because she can swim really well and doesn''t need a boat. She never said where she was from so I thought she was from the island. Can I see her?
Closing Statement: The interview continues in this vein for some time. Throughout Qappik insists that SCP-828-1 did not harm him and was friendly. The story was not released to the public. Local authorities believe that the child had experienced hypothermia-induced hallucinations while on the island.
In the weeks following the recovery of the missing child, rumors began to spread through the town of a strange marine animal in and around the harbor. Repeat sightings of a strange person on the docks prompted widespread speculation and hearsay. Teriaq LeChatlier, Site-641''s on-site shaman heard the rumors through family contacts and decided to investigate "on a hunch" with a small team from MTF-89E "Tomas''s Tuggers". SCP-828 eluded capture for several weeks until capture during an attempt to enter the Qappik family residence. SCP-828 was then brought back to Site-641 for processing.
Foreword: This unofficial interview was conducted en route to Site-641 on board the recently-acquired fishing vessel "Jeanne". SCP-828 was sequestered in the live-catch hold at the time of interview. LeChatlier insisted on the encounter before processing saying "The sea is already pretty angry about this. I don''t know if we''ll make it back." Please note that the following interview was translated from Inuktitut.
SCP-828: Angakkuq7, are you here to consume my flesh and make my power yours? Do you speak for the Mother of the Sea come to collect her due? Am I to serve you? To offer my bones as your tupilaq? Tell me so that I may know and we may be without pretense.
LeChatlier: What? No. I just wanted to talk to you in case your mother decided to cut things short. I want to know why you didn''t take the child.
SCP-828: This is a trick.
LeChatlier: No I''m being serious. I work for people who want to meet things like you.
SCP-828: So you serve another master then. What do they want with me?
LeChatlier: Mostly to stare at you and ask you questions. Are you comfortable down there?
SCP-828: [SCP-828 stares at LeChatlier incredulously] I will speak with your masters, Angakkuq.
LeChatlier: Just thought I''d ask.
Closing Statement: SCP-828 remained unresponsive for the remainder of the voyage.
Foreword: The following interview took place after several weeks of processing. SCP-828 had displayed signs of agitation and an intervention was undertaken at the request of LeChatlier.
Fullbrush: Good afternoon SCP-828. We understand that you''ve been having trouble.
Fullbrush: That is the designation we''ve assigned you.
LeChatlier: You can think of it as a name if it''s easier for you.
Fullbrush: Regardless. The maintenance and research staff have reported that you have been increasingly agitated and resistant. We are here to find out why.
SCP-828: [indicates Fullbrush] Is that your masterAngakkuq? Does this qallunaat hold your leash?
LeChatlier: The only leash Fullbrush here holds is his.
Fullbrush: What my… associate means to say is that we work for the same organization but I am not directly responsible for him. Everybody you see here works for the same group of people. We want to learn about you.
SCP-828: That''s what he said.
LeChatlier: I wasn''t going to lie to you. You know how much those cost anyway. Too steep to lie to you.
Fullbrush: You thought we''d dissect you or kill you or enslave you? Reasonable assumptions but not what we do. We just want to keep you safe with us and learn from you.
LeChatlier Yeah, we''ll keep you safe. You''ll have a home.
SCP-828: I wouldn''t have to [hesitation] I wouldn''t have to seek children anymore?
LeChatlier: No. You''re free to keep to yourself if you like. Probably won''t see anybody unless somebody really wants to talk to you or something. Don''t ask me why they''d want to that''s just their way.
SCP-828: What if I want to talk to people? What if I need to?
Fullbrush: Well, typically we only keep things like you as restrained as they need to be. There are incentives for good behavior, cooperation.
SCP-828: What does it mean for me to cooperate? What do you want?
LeChatlier: You wanna kick this up the chain Brushy?
Fullbrush: If you want to cooperate I will speak with my superiors and we can arrange something.
Rosenthal: Alright then 828, why don''t we start with some history. Tell me about yourself.
SCP-828: Where do you want me to start?
Rosenthal: The beginning? Whatever part of your life you''d consider to be a beginning.
SCP-828: My memory is more torn than my amauti, umilik. She ripped holes in it when I was taken. I only remember what she wants me to.
LeChatlier: Playing the pronoun game eh?
Rosenthal: What do you remember about your family?
SCP-828: My husband [hesitates] my husband was gone I think. He died. A bear broke his neck on the ice. A sudden wave washed him into the sea. His jealous brother killed him. He was lost in a blizzard. Or one of the invaders shot him with their bows. It doesn''t matter. My son and I were left behind. I was inherited by my husband''s brother. I remember him struggling to catch enough for all of us. He was not a strong man. He would skulk to the sweat hut to commune with the shaman. We were, as a family, a burden to our people. Burdens do not last long on the ice.
Rosenthal: How does this fit into your current state?
LeChatlier: She''s setting the scene, just let her keep going.
Rosenthal: Did it say anything? The voice?
SCP-828: This I remember because it wanted me to remember. It. The voice. It said that my son had disrespected her children, that he had neglected the customary offerings, respect.
LeChatlier: The kid probably forgot to offer the seals a drink before they died.
SCP-828: I offered myself. If my son was payment then it could accept a larger price, yes? I watched the polynya, there was no sea just green ice. It coughed him up like a sick dog next to me. I held him until his eyes opened, said good bye and stood on the green ice in the hole. I remember going deep. I remember unearthly singing and a boiling, hot presence, like I was inside a womb of flame. There''s not much left after that.
Rosenthal: What else do you remember?
SCP-828: Children. I remember children looking down at me through a hole in the sky. I take them into my arms when they fall. I bring a place where fire burns underwater, where they do not fall, where they cannot fall.
LeChatlier: I thought you said you couldn''t remember.
Rosenthal: I think that''s enough for today. We''ll resume at our next, scheduled appointment.

Apple’s October 30 event is just hours away, but tomorrow will bring us not only new products, but the next version of Apple’s operating system for mobile devices. iOS 12.1 has been in beta for a while, and recently made its way onto Apple’s official iPhone user guide, which usually indicates that it’s in the final stages of development.
Besides that, information coming from 9to5mac points out that carriers have been preparing to deploy the update starting October 30, which coincides with previous expectations. One of the biggest new features coming with iOS 12.1 is the enabling of the eSIM functionality that’s available for all 2018 iPhone models.
The eSIM is a chip within the phone that allows it to work with two different carriers (or two contracts on the same carrier) at the same time. This dual SIM support is a first for iPhones and will allow users more flexibility in the way they use their devices. From having the same phone for work and personal use, to using data plans from different carriers for better coverage during your travels, the option for a second SIM will be a game changer for many Apple users.
This news might get a slight chuckle from Android users that have had dual SIM phones available to them for year, but the eSIM provides some extra convenience, since it removes the need for a physical card that you put inside your phone. Instead, all you need to do is scan a QR code provided by your carrier or activate it from the app from which you manage your mobile contract.
Besides eSIM, there are a few more things coming with iOS 12.1: Group FaceTime, adjustable bokeh effect, a fix for the infamous “Beautygate” and more. You can tune in tomorrow and watch Apple’s event live to see all the goodies it has in store for us.
iOS 12 is a lot better than iOS 11 when it comes to bugs.
I think they were originally planning the iPad Pro and a lot of the features at last months event, but when they couldn’t get the multi-FaceTime feature to work they pushed back the release of iOS 12.1 and the new iPads til this week. It makes sense: you can’t really show off FaceTime with 32 people on a phone. It makes more sense to show off the feature on a larger tablet.
I do have one question regarding to eSIM. Currently I'm using T-mobile and I do have couple phones that I'd like to switch between(just for fun). If I enable eSIM on T-mobile, will my current "regular" T-mobile nano-SIM cease to function?

North London Mill Preservation, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit, aims to preserve Colorado's mining heritage and develop an alternative model for outdoor recreation, minimizing impact on land and resources, while remaining responsive and responsible to surrounding communities.
The North London Mill site lies at the base of the historic high mountain pass connecting Park and Lake Counties, CR12, Mosquito Pass. From 1892 to 1942, the North London Mill processed one of Colorado's richest gold strikes. In November, 2017, NoLo was awarded a $15,000 grant from History Colorado to conduct an Historical Structure Assessment of the Mill. The HSA was completed during the summer of 2018, and provides us with a plan for preservation and identifies possibilities for repurposing for recreational and educational use. Among potential uses for the structure, we envision a museum interpreting the site and exhibiting artifacts found there, and educational programming in partnerships with, for example, the Mosquito Range Heritage Initiative, Beaver Ponds Environmental Education Center, and local and other Colorado schools. Programs could include outdoor education in a variety of subjects, including: geology, wildlife biology, botany, archaeology, history, and environmental studies. We are working closely with the Colorado Department of Natural Resources/Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety, in order to rehabilitate the historic structure, the cost of which is estimated at $1.5M.
In far better condition and smaller in scale, the North London Office is the first rehabilitation project at Mosquito Pass. This building served as the base of operations for the London Mines from 1883-1942. The Office had a kitchen, dining room, and 4 sleeping rooms for mine managers and important visitors.
The goal is to rehabilitate the Office as a backcountry hut, similar to the huts of the 10th Mountain Division and Summit Huts Associations. The Office will be available to the public for overnight use. In October, 2018, we completed an initial stabilization of the Office with a $35K grant from History Colorado State Historical Fund (SHF) and 25% matching funds from the Gates Family Foundation. On February 1, 2019, we received approval of a $154K grant from SHF, with 25% matching funds from the Gates Family Foundation, for continued work on the rehabilitation of the Office and to prepare construction documents for the NoLo Mill.
As this 1935 photograph illustrates, the North London Mill site was once a thriving enterprise, with multiple structures that served as offices, dwellings, and utility buildings. Eventually, we may reconstruct some of the structures that no longer remain for use as backcountry accommodation and amenities. For example, the stable could be reconstructed for use as a bathhouse/sauna and the no longer extant boarding house could be reconstructed as a backcountry hut. These reconstructions, as well as the restorations of the Mill and Office, would adhere to the Secretary of the Interior Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties.
The 10th Mountain Division/Summit Association huts are the inspiration for our efforts at the site. In particular, Section House and Ken's Cabin at Boreas Pass, restored historic buildings, are most analogous. Mosquito Gulch is a popular summer recreation area, and, according to Colorado Wildlife Officer Tyler Stoltzfus, would benefit from more managed access. To that end, we intend to keep the huts open year-round and work closely with Colorado Parks & Wildlife, as well as the Forest Service and Park County Office of Recreation Development to build trails and provide guidance to reduce the impact on the land.

It has been a long and tedious wait. There has been much silence and thumb twiddling going on with me, mum and my ‘action people’. You know those people who have offered help and you’ve gratefully accepted it. The ones who help with transport, everyday chores and just assistance keeping your sanity in tact.
Finally yesterday the tension was snapped.
For me the situation was no longer as tense but more like an old elastic band that was close to disintegrating. For Ma, Pa and Gallowe it still had bounce though and I had to keep reminding myself of this. I was at the desk, studying Educative Research practices for uni and the phone rang. I rushed outside for clear reception and was greeted by a young doctor from Mr Leo’s (one of my NeuroImmunology doctors) team at Royal Perth Hospital.
My first treatment is booked for Thursday October 1st at midday, the second will be October 15th. A letter will be sent through will times, locations and specifics so I know what to do.
She gave me a few answers.
I ran inside to spread the word.
I would love to tell you more, really, but there is not much I know, having not been on this drug before. Yes, it is chemo and yes I don’t have cancer so we can take from the small data above that it won’t be used in conjunction with another chemotherapy pharmaceutical. It will be isolated so I’m only treated for the immune suppression and eviction of the lymphocytes from my vasculitic lesion.
The details I have are that there is a preparation period, followed by the intravenous injection (IV). I will be kept in the hospital for a brief few hours before release on the same day. This means its a daybed affair with no overnight stays (yay). Rituximab (RIX I will lovingly call it) is tolerated well with the majority of patients and has few side effects.
I just feel that I am in the majority here.
Ma will come with me. Gallowe is going to take the day off (night shift week). Its a study week at uni so not much stress there.
My hair won’t fall out but if it does I have plans. Which I’ll never do because it won’t happen. But if it does its ok. I’m at peace. Not that I need to be. Because it won’t fall out.

Aprimo proudly welcomed 19 customers from 12 leading Financial Services companies to Chicago last week to kick off the Financial Services Industry Advisory Council. Representing roughly $2 billion in marketing spend, these customers, mostly long-time Aprimo users, committed a day and a half of their time to network with their peers and learn more about the new Aprimo.
Kevin Souers, Aprimo’s Chief Product Officer, shared the company’s design philosophy, emphasizing that the move to Microsoft’s Azure cloud service brings many benefits to both the customers and Aprimo. Franklin-Templeton's Dean Brown delivered what was essentially the keynote session, a success story about their move from an on-premise solution to the new Aprimo pure SaaS one.
The afternoon culminated in a working session, a continuation from the morning’s Product Roadmap discussion with Eric Teitsma, VP of Product Management. After sharing some target dates for new functionality, Eric continued to wow the group with some previews of new UX and soon-to-be-released features. The workshop-style session was highly interactive with customers shaping the discussion and adding many post-it questions and requests to the “Ask Aprimo Anything” board on the wall. Many customers expressed a desire for more, longer events like this.
"Meeting the leadership team at Aprimo was fantastic… Overall great event and I look forward to future opportunities to interact with my financial services peers and the Aprimo leadership team."
“The event was designed to serve our customers’ needs first, and Aprimo’s needs second,” said Jonathan Fiur, Director of Financial Services Marketing Solutions.
In addition to significant spend, Aprimo customers track high volumes of activity in Marketing Productivity tools.
Co-sponsoring the event were long-time Aprimo partners, EmmSphere and SolutionsPlus. Attendees were able to interact with these partners and many members of the Aprimo leadership team. We enjoyed all the input, ideas and partnerships that were formed.

Today, two by-elections were held in the cities of San Cristóbal and San Diego.
In both cities, the opposition mayors – elected a few months ago by huge margins – were indicted and jailed in quickie trials for allegedly not doing enough to stem opposition protests. The MUD coalition quickly decided that the candidates for both posts would be the wives of the jailed mayors.
In San Diego, a suburb of Valencia, Venezuela’s third-largest city, Rosa de Scarano won with 87% of the vote. A few months ago, her husband had won with 75% of the vote, so Mrs. Scarano improved on her husband’s performance by quite a bit.
In San Cristóbal, the birthplace and epicenter of the protests, Patricia de Ceballos won with 73% of the vote. In December, her husband won with 67% of the vote, so she too built on her husband’s triumph.
The results are a resounding victory for the faction inside the MUD who wants to continue participating, in spite of the deck being stacked against us.
It is a heavy defeat for chavismo. It shows that the government continues losing support, unable to muster its forces even when faced with political neophytes and an opposition that is both financially and physically exhausted. If they were counting on political infighting within the opposition to keep their voters home, they were mistaken.
It is also a defeat for guarimberos, the faction of the opposition that sees “the street” as the only way to fight the government. San Cristóbal may be the hotbed of protests and barricades, but its citizens went out to vote (participation in both places was above 50%). If these people think that there is no point in voting, that the electoral solution to Venezuela’s crisis is completely closed, then these results should at least force them to polish their arguments.
Finally, it is a defeat for naysayers, for people who argue that protests work against the opposition by making us lose popularity. Both Ceballos and Scarano were seen as leaders of the protest movement, if not enablers of the barricades. The voters came out and supported them strongly – more than when they were originally elected. Whatever ill feeling there may be between opposition voters and some of the leaders of #LaSalida, it didn’t show in this election.
Obviously, local issues permeate this election, so one should be careful not to read too much into these results. In spite of that, the victory is a hugely symbolic one.

text: Gas Separation by Adsorption Processes provides a thorough discussion of the advancement in gas adsorption process. The book is comprised of eight chapters that emphasize the fundamentals concept and principles. The text first covers the adsorbents and adsorption isotherms, and then proceeds to detailing the equilibrium adsorption of gas mixtures. Next, the book covers rate processes in adsorbers and adsorber dynamics. The next chapter discusses cyclic gas separation processes, and the remaining two chapters cover pressure-swing adsorption. The book will be of great use to students, researchers, and practitioners of disciplines that involve gas separation processes, such as chemical engineering.

Invent Biotechnologies, manufacturers of innovative molecular biology products for life science research, announce the release of their new line of fast, simple protein extraction kits. The new Minute™ Kits utilize proprietary spin column-based technology in order to reduce the amount of time required to perform protein extractions by about 90% compared to standard methods, such as RIPA buffer extraction, and offer similarly great time savings while being significantly easier to use than competing protein extraction kits.
With a minimum volume of only 20 microliters, Minute™ Kits allow for smaller samples to be used more efficiently than most other commercially available protein extraction kits, preventing unnecessary dilution and thereby yielding greater protein concentrations in small samples. By creating protocols that are simpler, have less overall steps, and require less liquid handling than competing kits and methods, Invent Biotechnologies’ Minute™ Kits also reduce opportunities for human error, thereby improving reproducibility.
Minute Kits currently are the fastest protein extraction solution available to researchers. Four types of Minute™ Kits have been released: Minute™ Denaturing Total Protein Extraction Kits, Minute™ Native Total Protein Extraction Kits, Minute™ Cytoplasmic & Nuclear Extraction Kits, and Minute Bacterial Total Protein Extraction Kits. All of the Minute Kits are available directly from Invent Biotechnologies.

At South Coast Optometry we offer something called MPOD testing but what does that stand for and why is it important?
The MP stands for macular pigment (MP). This is a yellow pigmented spot that is found in the center of the retina known as the macula. Made up of two different carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin, the MP plays a critical role in protecting the macula from harmful blue light and in helping to maintain the function of the macula. Think of it as internal “sunglasses” for your eyes.
The thickness or the density of the MP varies from person to person. The density can also change over time depending on several factors such as aging and lifestyle and dietary choices. There has been several clinical trials and studies that have focused on measuring the MP and have researched how the thickness of it correlates to one’s risk of developing age related macular degeneration (AMD). The research has shown that a low macular pigment optical density (MPOD) is a key risk factor for AMD while a high macular pigment optical density not only reduces one’s risk for AMD but also helps to improve visual performance. For older people vision changes such as better contrast sensitivity, better acuity and reduced glare are just some of the benefits to a high MPOD.
The values or score that is used for MPOD ranges from 0 to 1. A low MPOD is in the range of 0 to .21, mid range is .21 to .49 and high range is .5 to 1.0. According to ZeaVsion the company that makes the QuantifEye instrument, the average MPOD in the United States is .35.

Yvon Mau is seeking to rejuvenate the fortunes of mid-tier Bordeaux with the launch of its L’Esprit de Bordeaux collection in key markets worldwide.
Currently comprising eight producers, all exclusive to the negociant, the collection has been designed to represent a wider range of regions and styles at retail prices between £10 and £30.
First shown at Vinexpo this year, L’Esprit de Bordeaux has since been introduced in Hong Kong, the US and Canada, with plans to extend its coverage to China in early 2012.
Explaining the need to find a way of promoting Bordeaux’s mid-tier wines, Yvon Mau’s managing director Philippe Laqueche remarked: “The luxury brands have been very successful so far and the low end of Bordeaux is struggling.
He laid some of the blame for the decline of this middle sector at the door of the negociants, through whom the majority of Bordeaux producers sell their wine.

The Alabama Attorney General’s report on the EJ Bradford shooting at the Galleria mall has been released. Read the report here. The report includes surveillance footage the AG determined to show that the officer’s assumption EJ was a threat was reasonable. It is hard to know from just a few screen captures if that was in fact a reasonable perception. While someone having a gun out is cause for alarm, it is not in and of itself justification for shooting someone. I, for one, would like to see the surveillance camera footage.
Interestingly, in his written statement the officer never articulated anything more than Bradford was armed. He did not say Bradford was an active threat and I am not sure how someone properly holds a handgun in a manner that would not allow shooting. From the photographs, Bradford appears to have the gun in his right hand down at his side, below his waist, and is not pointing it at anyone. The officer issued no commands to Bradford before opening fire.
Next, I observed an armed suspect quickly moving towards the two males standing near the railing. The suspect was advancing on the two males and had a black handgun in his right hand. I fired my duty weapon at the armed suspect to stop him.
Officer 1 believed that E.J. Bradford was going to murder Brian Wilson and AC. In Officer 1’s estimation, E.J. Bradford was only 10 feet away from Wilson andAC as he was running toward them with a firearm.
Officer 1 believed that E.J. Bradford was holding his gun in a manner that allowed Bradford to shoot Wilson or AC or turn and shoot Officers 1 or 2.
According to the report, the shooting officer gave a very short statement on the date and then was afforded a week before submitting a written statement or to questioning.
As expected, the witness statements are unreliable. Eyewitness 1 and 2 said commands were ignored by Bradford but the officer said no command was given.
The lesson for concealed carriers is that you may be mistaken as a threat so it is extremely important to make your actions as unambiguous as possible. Having a gun out in a chaotic scene is a recipe for mistakes.
A side note, immaterial to the issue of the shooting, is that Bradford was carrying an unloaded gun.
E.J. Bradford initially runs in the opposite direction (away from JC Penney),creating a gap between himself and the gunshots. As he creates this gap, Bradford draws hisweapon and chambers a round. Bradford then charges back toward JC Penney, gun drawn.

Pain Eaters is perhaps best described as a cross between X-Men and Hellraiser. In other words an action horror tale with more emphasis on the action aspect. We are plunged straight into the action as Jack Fugazi is caught bang to rights surrounded by bodies. However, all is not as it seems and Jack gets the chance to tell his story from an interrogation room. It is clear that Tooker knows how to spin an excellent story.
The only very minor negative I have to offer is that for me it seemed perhaps a tad too short. I felt that we could have had a little more of the back story behind Jack and the villain known simply as the German. However, take this as a complimentary statement it shows that the author had engaged me completely in his world. I wanted to explore more of this strange world where good and evil sorcerers with strange incredible powers contest for supremacy.
Tooker had me hooked with his strong descriptive writing and I'm hoping that he takes the hint from this reviewer and sets a few more stories in this fascinating world that I'd love to see more of. If you like an interesting blend of action, magic, horror and superheroes then you'll enjoy Pain Eaters as much as I did. A very enjoyable read that I would recommend. A five star read for me as I felt it was original, very engaging and compellingly told.

After it’s fourth year run, the Passport2Pain fundraiser, dubbed the toughest ride in the Puget Sound, was another success thanks to all the crazy cyclists, lots of volunteers and courteous, welcoming islanders.
If your not familiar with P2P, as it’s nicknamed, it’s a circuit of the most brutal climbs of Vashon hills all strung together for your enjoyment. We realize that not all cyclists are alike so there are three courses from which to choose. The Idiot Ride is 80 miles & 10,000 feet vertical – that’s the Alpe d’Huez, Col Du Aspin & The Galibier combined! The Weasel Ride is 50 miles with 6,500 feet vertical and the Weenie Ride is a mere 30 miles and 3400 vertical feet. There’s even a team option so you can share your pain with your closest friends.
Your P2P passport gets stamped at 18 strategic checkpoint locations, where you’re able to rest, (relax even!) eat some snacks and fill up your water bottle before heading off to the next hill. Many of the checkpoints have creative themes to support and distract the riders from their world of hurt. Two of the most talked about this year were The Burma Road Devil, which is not really a checkpoint – more of an uphill motivator (and even has his own Facebook page!) and The Asylum, aka the lightweight junior women rowers (for some reason lightweight rowers are considered just as crazy as P2P cyclists – who knew?).
However you sound off – P2P will surely leave a mark!
Look for date and details on P2P 2015 in January.

Unfortunately for Valanciunas and the Grizzlies, it wasn't enough for them to come away with a win over the Spurs.
Jonas Valanciunas didn't show any signs of rust in his debut with the Memphis Grizzlies, but it wasn't quite enough.
In a 108-107 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday, Valanciunas gave the Grizzlies a huge boost off the bench with 23 points and 10 rebounds in 21 minutes of action. He did so efficiently, making nine of his 11 shot attempts and five of his eight free throw attempts.
In addition to it being the big man's first game with his new team, it was the first time Valanciunas has played since dislocating his left thumb in a win over the Golden State Warriors on Dec. 12.
LaMarcus Aldridge and Patty Mills led the way for the Spurs with 22 points each, with Aldridge shooting 8-for-15 from the field and Mills making six of his eight 3-point attempts.
The Spurs also got a near triple-double out of Rudy Gay to the tune of 15 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists. It helped overcome a rough shooting night from DeMar DeRozan, who missed 14 of his 19 shot attempts.
Other than Valanciunas, Avery Bradley came up big for the Grizzlies with a career-high of 33 points. Justin Holiday (11) and CJ Miles (10) were the only other Grizzlies to score in double figures.
Rookie sensation Jaren Jackson Jr. finished the game with only nine points, five rebounds and one block. Jackson was fouled by Aldridge on a shot attempt in the closing seconds of the game with the Grizzlies trailing 108-106, but he missed the first free throw and accidentally banked-in the second.
The Grizzlies travel to Chicago on Wednesday to take on the Bulls. The next time the Spurs play will be after All-Star Weekend, when DeRozan makes his highly anticipated return to Toronto.

Your stories can be part of that process because sharing stories is one of the ways by which human beings learn about each.

Eugene J. Murray acknowledged guests at the Rockville Centre Community Fund’s 30th annual Mayor’s Golf and Dinner Classic in 2017.
Eugene J. Murray was the grand marshal of the Nassau County Firemen’s Association Parade in 2015.
Murray, seated second from right, celebrated his 92nd birthday with his children and their spouses in 2017 at Rockville Links Club. Clockwise from top left were Chuck and Jean Joyce, Tom Murray, Rosemary Murray, Nora Murray, Barbara Murray, Rockville Centre Mayor Francis X. Murray, Mary Lou Marquardt, and Anne and Patrick Hayden.
Eugene J. Murray, a lifelong Rockville Centre resident who served as mayor of the village from 1987 to 2007, died on Tuesday at his home. He was 93.
After serving on the village’s board of trustees for three years, Murray, the father of current mayor Francis X. Murray, was first elected to lead the village in 1987, and ran unopposed for re-election in 1991, 1995, 1999 and 2003. He was also an active member of the Rockville Centre Fire Department for 72 years, serving as a chief from 1977 to 1983, and was president of the New York Conference of Mayors and the Nassau County Village Officials Association.
During his first year as mayor, Murray established the Rockville Centre Community Fund, which has supported residents in need, including seniors, single parents and victims of disasters. Over the past three decades, the fund has raised more than $1.6 million.
Murray was in the Army in 1944 during World War II, at age 19. He fought in Germany as part of the U.S. Third Army, led by Gen. George Patton, according to his son, Tom. When he returned to Rockville Centre, he started his own business, Murray Floor Waxing Service, which he operated for four decades. Murray was named the recipient of the Rockville Centre Chamber of Commerce’s first Businessman of the Year award.
Tom added that after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, his father went to the homes of people who had lost someone on that tragic day. “People always remembered that about him,” he said.
Despite his dedication to serving residents and tireless work ethic, “he also loved to party,” Francis said, chuckling. His motto was “Never miss a party,” he added, “and he never did.” Murray attended many village gatherings and fundraisers up until his death.
To honor Murray, the longest-serving mayor in village history, Village Hall was named in his honor when he retired in 2007.
Murray was one of 13 children born to William Murray, who served as the village’s postmaster, and his wife, Josephine. In addition to his sons Francis (wife Barbara) and Tom (wife Nora), he is survived by daughters Mary Lou Marquardt, Jean Joyce (husband Chuck), Rosemary Murray and Anne Hayden (husband Pat); his brother, Paul; his sister, Anne Walsh; 24 grandchildren and many great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his wife of 66 years, Mary Lou, who died in 2013, his son Larry Murray and daughter Teresa Ferriole.
Visitation will be held at the St. Agnes Parish Center, at 99 N. Village Ave., on Thursday from 7 to 9 p.m. and Friday from 4 to 8 p.m. A funeral service will take place on Saturday at 9:30 a.m. at St. Agnes Cathedral.
Editor's Note: The story that appeared in print said visitation would be held at Macken Mortuary. The plans have since changed.
