Born out of a love for Sautéed mushrooms, this pizza flatbread makes a great appetizer.
Please see recipe for Roti bread for the crust.
Mushroom topping is prepared by slicing a variety of mushrooms-oyster, button, shiitake-any your grocer carries. Sometimes I can find packages of premixed “exotic” mushrooms and that makes this even easier.
With butter in you pan add your finely diced shallots and soften. Add in your mushrooms and start to toss them and let them caramelize at which point deglaze with a little sherry (white wine works too but doesn’t lend as much sweetness.) Now to make the creamy but thick sauce for the pizza add flour (the same amount at butter-about 1tbsp per flatbread pizza .) Stir and blend. Toss in your chilli flakes to your heat factor of your liking , fresh de-stemmed thyme, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat and toss in pan (or stir.) Now add cream enough to make a sauce and reduce to thickened. Yum.
Now spritz your crust with olive oil completely to the edges, spoon your mushroom mixture on your pizza and arrange your finely slivered red onions on top.
Bake for about 8 minutes but really just watch it and let the edges of onion and your crust brown. When it’s sizzling you are ready to retrieve it from the oven and garnish with finely chopped green onion.
I’d love to hear if you tried this or even if this was an inspiration for your own version .
Artistic note-I’ll make this again and photograph my mushroom pizza on a different background as my cutting board doesn’t show off how fantastic this dish tastes. Spicey, creamy, sweet and mushroom-ey.

Franz Liszt composed LYON for Solo-Piano about 1834 under the impression of the silk-weaver-revolt of Lyon as part of his “Album d’un voyageur”. When Liszt reworked the cycle into the ﬁrst part of his “Années de pèlerinage”, LYON was replaced by “La chapelle de Guillaume Tell” and fell into oblivion.
I tried to orchestrate LYON exactly in the style of a Lisztian “Symphonic Poem” and to use only the orchestral possibilities of Liszt’s period, e.g. I avoided the 5th string of the double-basses. To achieve the characteristic orchestral colour of Liszt I composed lots of additional material and modiﬁed the “pianistic” passages similarly as it can be found in works which Liszt created for both piano and orchestra.

The Copley Hospital Board of Trustees has begun taking the necessary steps to initiate a CEO search and planning for the interim period. Carl Szlachetka, Chair of Copley’s Board of Trustees, announced that Jeff White of Helms & Company, Inc. has agreed to serve as Copley Hospital’s interim CEO. White brings a broad background in healthcare and hospital management at the CEO level, and is no stranger to Copley Hospital as he served as interim CEO in 2006/2007 prior to the hiring of Melvyn Patashnick. He will be working closely with Chief Operating Officer Vera Jones and the senior leadership team. “The Board feels confident that Jeff and team will serve the hospital well moving forward until we successfully recruit a new CEO,” says Szlachetka. White will commence his interim position on June 3.
The Board has also identified members of the search committee who will represent the hospital during the CEO search process. The committee includes representatives from the Board, senior leadership and management team, staff, as well as a community physician. The committee’s responsibilities are to identify and recommend an executive search firm, conduct interviews with candidates, and make a recommendation to the Board. This week, the committee will start interviewing search firms who specialize in CEO searches. “We are confident that a recommendation of an appropriate firm will be determined in a short time,” continued Szlachetka.
With the steps in place, White contracted as the interim CEO, and the search process underway, the Board has accepted May 31 as Art Mathisen’s last day at Copley. “Art leaves Copley in good shape and we want to thank him for this,” Szlachetka said.
The Board has confidence that the process set forth will ensure a smooth transition until the new CEO is hired. Their confidence is based on continued leadership of Vera Jones, the senior leaders, management team and particularly, the employees.

Chagas Disease: What Is It and How Is It Treated?
A tropical parasitic illness, Chagas disease is transmitted by Trypanosoma cruzi, a species also known as kissing bugs owing to their habit of feeding around the areas of people’s mouths or vampire bugs for their propensity to feed on the blood of their hosts. Chagas disease produces a range of unpleasant symptoms, but it’s the tendency of the illness to become chronic and progress that can lead to life-threatening consequences. This disease is present in multiple places around the world.
1. How Is Chagas Disease Contracted?
Typically, Chagas disease is transmitted by the kissing bug or triatomine bug. The bugs themselves become infected with the microscopic parasites after feeding on a host with the disease. While feeding, the infected insects drop their feces on the skin. As the person scratches their skin, they invariably introduce the parasites into the body, though they may also enter through the mouth, eyes, or a pre-existing cut. Triatomine bugs typically feed at night while the hosts are sleeping.

With so many people in this demographic, St. Petersburg presents many opportunities for single professionals to enjoy themselves, socialize, and to create lasting relationships.

April 6, 2011 – Phoenix, Ariz -- Kansas City, Mo.-based Sizewise, a growing and diversified medical equipment manufacturer, today announced at CleanMed2011 the industry’s first and only sustainable surface that reduces harmful chemical exposure for patients and care providers.
In a hospital environment, mattresses and other surfaces are the number one element that patients are in continual contact with during their entire length of stay. Sizewise is the first manufacturer in the U.S. to produce a mattress based on environmental healthcare research and studies that outline the key chemicals of concern.
Chemicals are ubiquitous in healthcare environments, and unless healthcare institutions explicitly ban certain chemicals – those chemicals will come in the door. Many organizations, from the Healthier Hospital Initiative (HHI) to Physicians for Social Responsibility to the Safe Chemicals Act of 2010 sponsored by Senator Lautenberg and Congressmen Waxman and Rush, all are part of a concerted effort to “green” the healthcare environment.
• transform the design and manufacture of products by making vendors aware of concerns.
The Sizewise Envy Line is a series of surfaces that range from mattresses to operating table pads, stretcher pads, wheelchair cushions, pediatric surfaces and more. These products have been produced from non-hazardous fire retardant materials and meet or exceed the newest industry guidelines and certifications for environmental sustainability.
A recent study conducted in partnership with the PSR, American Nurses Association , Healthcare Without Harm Nurses Working Group and Clean New York produced a report documenting the presence of industrial chemicals in the bodies of doctors and nurses across the country. The study found that all of the 20 participants had toxic chemicals associated with health care in their bodies. Each participant had at least four chemicals that can be found on the recently released Environmental Protection Agency list of priority chemicals for regulation.
The Green Bear Mark of Excellence is a series of stringent tests that reviews more key chemicals than any process today and measures against a rigorous set of “detectable limits” that meet key healthcare guidelines.
Fire barriers are often the core element that carry the most harmful chemicals. Beyond common fire barrier chemicals, a halogen-free approach aids in the elimination of chemicals of concern such as antimony, bromine, chlorine, lead, mercury, phthalates and more. Exposure to these chemicals have been linked to cancer, adult infertility, learning disabilities, seizures, adverse effects on embryos, the central nervous system, the brain, heart and more. The new Sizewise Envy Line takes a halogen-free approach to the contents of its fabric, fire barriers and foam cores, and ensures that these harmful chemicals are not causing harm to patients and healthcare workers.

Steep, ruddy canyon walls, showing layer upon layer of sediment, rise above a canyon floor on which is engraved a large, ten-pointed star. Rising out of the star, two birds fly in an upward spiral, while a beam of light shines down from the heavens–not from the sun, which appears to be setting, but from on high. The sky above the setting sun is blue with shades of pastel purple nearing the horizon. The birds appear to enjoy their flight.
The 10 of Swords is traditionally seen as a death card or a card of endings. But not necessarily a literal death. In this case it’s described more as a literary death, with the keywords “Leaving the Story.” We create our own stories, with our own lives as the settings and ourselves as the central characters. We choose to stay or go, in most situations of life.
I’m reminded by this card of a time years ago when I went through the deaths of two important people in my life, one right after the other, as well as other problems related to family and finances, and I found myself, many months later, still in a spiral of grief that seemed to never end.
Somewhere in all that difficulty, we decided we had to take a vacation, get away for a few days. We took a trip to Sedona, Arizona. It was wonderful, a refreshment for the soul, a kind of soft, clarifying interlude like a cool shower in the middle of a hot, sweaty day. Red rocks like natural churches, blue skies, happy people, ethereal fountains of spiritual energy. Every day there was heavenly.
But when we returned, it was to more bad news. I didn’t think I could take any more problems, and I got stuck, dwelling on all my losses so much that nothing else seemed to matter. I couldn’t see a light side to my life anymore.
I didn’t know exactly what that word meant. When I looked it up, what stood out for me most clearly was a definition of “obsequy” as a funeral rite or ceremony. Of course there was the other meaning: obsequiousness as the act of showing servile deference. I had given in, numerous ways in my life, to others, to death, to loss, to grief. I’d lost myself in the process.
That personal revelation was the starting point of a lengthy healing process. My problems didn’t miraculously go away. They continued. My way of facing them changed. I began to do more of what I wanted and needed to do with my life, and leave behind the notion that I must (or even could) please everyone else. I began to move away from bowing down to death and begin consciously living again.
That fresh insight and my decision to act on it was the 10 of Swords. It wasn’t the losses that were about leaving the story. It was the recovery, the letting go of pain. I left the story of my grief behind and resumed the story of my life.
This card as my card of the week indicates to me that there is something I need to let go of this week. Now I just need to figure out what that is. It’s possible I already know on some level. I’ll have to do some personal excavating, digging within, to get to the bottom of it–and then fly free.

I am currently trying to coordinate one food/water stop at the halfway point... but still bring you own water and nutrition! It might be hot out there, so this station will serve as a refill, replenishment option.
Before the ride, we'll provide two contact numbers to call, in case you need support from the roll: vehicle.

"Greener" computing is about getting the most out of your computer while minimizing environmental effects and maximizing cost savings. Dell Computer Corp. offers the following tips to help consumers make their computer purchases, use, and disposal more environmentally friendly.
Buy a computer that grows with you. Learning how to buy the right system for your specific needs is the first crucial step in making sure your computer will be growing with you for many years to come. Shop smartly and you can maximize the work (and play) you'll accomplish with your computer.
Buy refurbished products. Many computer manufacturers and resellers offer refurbished computer systems and parts. Refurbished computers and peripherals can offer substantial savings while benefiting the environment.
Consider the environment. Most computers are being designed to reduce the negative effects of manufacturing and use. For example, Energy Star-compliant computers and monitors have been designed to reduce energy use when idle. Other environmental features such as a modular, upgradeable design, online user manuals and documentation, and recyclability should be considered when choosing a computer system.
Packaging is important. Computers and their components are sophisticated and precise products requiring maximum protection from drops, vibration and temperature variations that can occur during shipping and handling. Find out what various retailers and manufacturers are doing to reduce unnecessary packaging before you spend your money with them.
Skip the screen saver. Active, moving screen savers don't save any energy. Screen savers were initially designed to save the phosphorescent coating inside monochrome monitors -- but this type of monitor is rarely used today.
Be a smart printer. You can also reduce the environmental effects of printing with your computer. Consider editing documents on your computer and using the clean side of used paper for printing drafts. You can also purchase environmentally friendly printers, toner cartridges and paper.
Donate it. When you are finished using your computer consider donating it to a non-profit organization. While you may have outgrown its features, an organization that cannot afford technology may be able to use it for years to come.
Reuse components. Your monitor, keyboard and mouse can be reused with a new computer. Make sure your next computer is compatible with these components or consider donating them.
Recycle it. If you are not planning to donate your used computer, consider recycling it in an environmentally responsible manner. Almost all of the elements in a computer can be recycled and reused in the manufacture of new machines and other products.

As someone who has never been a beauty junky, I’m now officially addicted (sorry, had to!). My love for beauty products has blossomed as my passion for clean beauty grows and the most exciting part is that the clean beauty industry is exploding at the same time as my insatiable curiosity.
Just a year ago I had a difficult time discovering new products and now it feels like there is an endless pool of non-toxic makeup, cleansers, bath soaks, face masks and just about anything else a beauty fiend could possibly want to have in her arsenal.
I’ve been using this scrub every three days for cell renewal and it’s exactly what my winter skin needs! The ruby crystals polish away dead surface cells, leaving my skin brighter, clearer and younger looking. It’s formulated with anti-aging Hyaluronic Acid, seaweed and organic red tea extracts making for an excellent combo of nourishment and antioxidant protection.
You may be thinking, “charcoal toothpaste, WTF?” but hear me out. Charcoal toothpaste is having a moment and as strange as it sounds, and actually is to use, I really like it. The pH-balanced, sulfate-free, carbonized paste contains plant-derived antimicrobial oils, oral probiotics and chlorophyll to help maintain not only healthy teeth and gums, but overall health. The activated charcoal removes stains without the harsh silica abrasives of standard toothpaste, and freshens your breath while absorbing and eliminating impurities. Smile!
How it works: you place one piece (it contains 4 pieces) in the bottom of your shower by the drain, turn on the hot water, and as you take a shower, the shower melt will fizz and menthol eucalyptus will fill the air, creating a luxurious home steam spa experience. It’s a lovely addition to my morning shower and serves as a reminder to take in long deep breathes as a zen start to the day.
I generally use Dr. Bronner’s Organic bar soaps (which I still love) but switched it up after reading that this was the highest rated soap by the EWG. It’s just as delightful as it is healthy.
Similar to the Makes 3 soap, this concealer was also rated one of the cleanest by the EWG. It’s sold at the best beauty shops here in LA but lucky for me (and maybe for you!), you can order it through Amazon which made trying it a no-brainer. I’ve used it every single day since it hit my doorstep and I’m wildly impressed with how well it conceals.
Made with organic spirulina powder, organic wheatgrass powder, organic chlorella powder and organic ylang ylang oil, this is certainly not the best smelling mask I’ve put on my face but the benefits outweigh that minor detail. To apply, you use the included spoon, place one full scoop into your palm and mix with an equal amount of water to create a chlorophyll paste. You apply the dark green paste (total Wicked Witch moment) liberally to your face for 10-20 minutes then rinse with warm water. The chlorophyll purifies the skin, helps relieve breakouts, and brings out a really beautiful natural glow.
Organic. Matcha. Body. Moisturizer. Doesn’t that just sound yummy? Made with organic virgin coconut oil, organic matcha tea powder, organic baobab oil and organic sweet orange oil, its creamy in texture and keeps my skin soft, toned, and deeply moisturized.
If you’re a fan of dry skin brushing and are looking to get more benefits from each stroke, this is it! The addition of the rubber massage nodules is super lux and allegedly they provide additional cellulite eliminating benefits (win!).
Powered by plant-derived Phyto-Pigments and age-defying serum technology, this creamy formula blends easily and delivers a healthy, natural looking flush that flatters the skin. I also like to add it to my lips for a bump of color.
This is a full face serum but I only use it under my eyes and on my neck. It helps brightens up my under-eye circles and stimulates collagen production.
What clean beauty products are you loving RN?!
That toothpaste seems really interesting! I’ve never seen anything like that being sold around here but I’m definitely gonna try to find it.
I really like the sound of the chlorophyll mask. Sounds very natural.
I honestly want to try all of these products! Such a great post girly!
This toothpaste looks great. Really interesting product.
I haven’t tried any of these before, off to have a google right now!
I love this, please do this monthly!
YES! All about the clean beauty movement and need to try that spirilina mask. Sounds cool.

France’s young, World Cup-winning soccer team staged a victorious homecoming parade on Monday in an open-top bus down the Champs-Élysées, as hundreds of thousands of supporters wrapped in flags cheered them on.
The team’s 4-2 win over Croatia in Moscow on Sunday has cemented France’s reemergence as a soccer superpower and brought the country together.
On Monday, the squad was driven down the packed central avenue in Paris, as they smiled and waved and held up the cup as the French air force staged a flypast amid plumes of red, white and blue.
City-centre Parisians and others from the capital’s banlieue suburbs swapped flags and sang the national anthem with others who had travelled from across the country for the occasion.
On Sunday night, after the final whistle blew in Moscow, up to 1 million supporters had gathered on the Champs-Élysées. Throughout the night and into Monday cars sped around Paris with people leaning out of windows waving flags.
Sissoko (32), from the eastern outskirts of Paris, not far from where Paul Pogba grew up, brought his sons, Sadia (8) and Hanet (6), to catch a glimpse of the team. “This is a big moment for the kids; it shows what they can dream of, who their role models can be,” he said.
France has traditionally placed more pressure than most other countries on its soccer team as a national symbol that can fix society’s ills. The mood of unity and positivity that this diverse French team has brought has been seen as a balm for a divided nation hit by terrorism, and where the far-right Marine Le Pen won more than 10 million votes in last year’s presidential election.
The mood was different to 20 years ago, when France won the World Cup on home soil. That year, Zinedine Zidane’s diverse team was held up as the magic fix to France’s deep-seated discrimination and identity issues, with the team labelled “black, blanc, beur” – black, white, Arab.
This time, politicians accepted that it had been folly in 1998 to expect the result of a soccer match to do so much. Indeed, four years after the last win, Marine Le Pen’s father Jean-Marie Le Pen, who had complained there were too many black people on the team, made it to the presidential run-off.
Instead, as the team bus moved past cheering crowds on the Champs-Élysées, supporters said each player should be seen as an inspiration, emphasising the places where the players had grown up, from poor suburbs to rural towns.
“We’re not in 1998,” said Mounir Mahjoubi, the secretary of state for digital affairs, whose parents were born in Morocco. “We’re not still celebrating ‘black, blanc, beur’, we’re celebrating brotherhood,” he said of the team.
Eric (45), who worked as a health and safety officer in Amiens, northern France, had brought his two sons, aged 10 and 12. “Today is all about being proud to be French,” he said.
Graffiti in the city included the slogan “Liberté, egalité, Mbappé”, a reference to the national motto and Kylian Mbappé. The 19-year-old star of the World Cup comes from Bondy in the Paris suburbs and the sports minister Laura Flessel said he had allowed young French people in the suburbs “to dare to believe in their dreams”.
The French president, Emmanuel Macron, who recently dipped in polls following accusations that he is not doing enough for those most in need, also hosted the team at the presidential palace. At the match in Moscow, he had been pictured in shirt-sleeves punching the air, hugging the players on the pitch, and then addressing them in their dressing room.
There were some disturbances on Sunday night, with riot police firing teargas when a small number of people threw stones at and broke into Publicis Drugstore on the Champs-Élysées, with police later clearing the area with water cannon. The interior ministry said there had been 292 arrests across France overnight.
Mr Macron invited hundreds of young soccer players from the poorer suburbs of Paris, where several of the French team began playing the game as children, to the presidential reception for the squad.
Pogba led the team in several chants on the steps to the palace garden. Mr Macron told the team: “Never forget where you’re from. You’re from right here,” gesturing to the soccer trainers and volunteers from youth teams in the suburbs who had been invited.
Mr Macron may be hoping his approval ratings will rise on the back of the victory. After the 1998 win, the unpopular right-wing president Jacques Chirac enjoyed a boost in the polls. A poll for Le Journal du Dimanche before the World Cup final found that the majority of French people felt the soccer results had boosted the national mood.

Why It Is Good to Power Wash Your Home Every homeowner would want to make sure that their house looks the best that it can be. This is especially true if you are planning to sell your house, because you will need the value of your house to be as high as possible. Even if you are not going to sell your home, you should still make sure that it looks great. If you had that house for a long time already, you should consider giving it a power wash. Getting power wash services for your house will definitely be very beneficial for a number of reasons. Today, let’s have a short look at some of the reasons why you should get a power wash for your home. When we built our homes, we built it for strength to be able to last for many long years. The lifespan of your house, however, will be cut shorter if you do not do maintenance works on it. Rotting and decay may happen to your walls. This is the reason why regular power washing is important for your home. If you want to extend the lifespan of your home, make sure that your house is always clean by using power washing. Another reason why you might want to get regular power washing services for your home is because it can actually save you some money. Since you have to pay for power washing services it is surprising to hear that you can save from it. But if you think about it carefully, it actually makes sense. You will need to repair your walls when they start to rot. These repairs can cost you quite a lot of money, and regular power washing services will only cost you a fraction of the price of repairs.
When your house is not power washed then it can invite the growth of molds, mildew, algae, and other dangerous bacteria. Without power washing, they can grow and multiply freely. There are dangers when bacteria is present in your home. With power washing, you can rid your home of these dangerous bacteria growing on your walls.
The value of your home can be greatly increased with power washing. If you are going to sell your house then this is very important. People have been able to add thousands of dollars to the sale price of their homes by simply having them regularly power washed. Power washing is a must if you are going to sell your home. Regularly power washing your home can give you a lot more benefits that what was discussed above. Home owners should start power washing their homes now so that your house will not deteriorate fast and put your family at risk because with power washing your house will always be clean, with no dangerous bacteria growing in it, and with power washing the value of your home will also increase to make it easier to sell in the future.

“I deem respecting the levels of abstraction to be the most important principle in programming, because it automatically implies many other best practices.
“Are we forever cursed to do this constant tooling rodeo, where we try to hold on in the job market for dear life, learning new tools as the plop up all over the place?
“Instead of trying to predict the future, which we humans are really bad at — just look at sci-fi movies from the 60-ies — you should learn the stuff that doesn’t change around a lot.
…But in that same 40 years software technology has barely changed at all. After all, we still write the same if statements, while loops, and assignment statements we did back in the ’60s. If I took a programmer from 1960 and brought him forward through time to sit at my laptop and write code; he’d need 24 hours to recover from the shock; but then he’ll be able to write the code. The concepts haven’t changed that much.

Gavin Landry, Visit Britain’s regional director for the Americas, is passionate about what Great Britain offers planners and a new range of experiences is adding new layers of enthusiasm.
“Off-season in the spring and fall are a great value time for groups and there are wonderful experiences throughout our country,” he says. “For example, there is a strong connection for medical groups in Manchester, where they pioneered the test tube baby.” Here are four additional brag-worthy options that Landry suggests meetings and incentives groups should try.
A new spy-inspired Kingsman experience whisks groups into the secretive and adventurous side of Britain. “Kingsman: The Golden Circle” features iconic landmarks across Britain, including London, Scotland and Wales while immersing attendees in how to be a Kingsman 101, i.e., etiquette tips and how to drink whiskey and dress like a Kingsman.
Zip World, promoted as the world’s fasted zip line (and longest in Europe), offers groups flexible meeting space and adventurous experiences in jaw-dropping locations. Immersive forest, panoramic vistas of the Glyn Rhonwy quarry lake, Carneddau and Glyder mountain ranges and exciting underground experiences are just the beginning.
While whisky distilling is still a major trend throughout Britain, groups would be remiss not to give artisan distilleries a ‘shot.’ They can also tour the famous Brixton Fish Market, go seafood foraging or roll up their sleeves at the Rick Stein Cookery School in Cornwall and Devon.
In Yorkshire, the Chocolate Story is the not to be missed experience, and groups can also visit a local cider and brandy distillery at the historic orchards of Ampleforth Abbey, or experience Slingsby’s Spirit of Harrogate, whose gin and herbal infusions give nod to the 16th century discovery of the Harrogate aquifer.
Britain’s unexpected side facilitates more than a few bragging rights for attendees. Foraging is one angle and it’s gaining momentum for the sense of discovery and wellness that ‘tiptoeing through the tulips’ brings. In Wales, food experts lead the treasure hunt, which may include a quest for mushrooms and herbs.
In Scotland, more than a few responsible wildlife-selfie moments happen in the Minch Strait, which is brimming full of porpoise, minke whales, dolphins, basking sharks, otters and seals, while bird watching highlights include sea eagles, golden eagles, puffins and a great variety of seabirds.

Emirates Airline is to continue its support of Emirates Team New Zealand.
President of Emirates airline, Sir Tim Clark, said the airline’s decision was recognition of the success of the team in helping build the Emirates brand globally, as well as signalling further commitment to New Zealand.
“Emirates started its New Zealand services in 2003 and has been naming rights sponsor of Team New Zealand since 2004,” he said. “Our re-commitment for the next America’s Cup challenge, lodged by the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron in August last year, is testament to the spirit, skill and strengths the team has shown.
“There is also no doubt that our continued support is reflective of the success the team has been in allowing us to get closer to our loyal and potential customers in New Zealand and many other countries and in building awareness of Emirates as a leading global brand.
Emirates Team New Zealand chief executive Grant Dalton said the response to securing funding for the challenge had been encouraging: “We have made considerable progress because the Emirates Team New Zealand brand is an international leader, well recognised in the sport. Emirates airline has been with the team since 2004 and their decision to stay with us is important. We are fortunate to have such loyal and committed sponsors."
Dalton paid tribute to the many sponsors and suppliers – including Emirates - who have stood by the team in the hard times since the end of the 34th America’s Cup in 2013.
Sir Tim Clark added: “Exposure for Emirates through the team and its global reach has helped put the airline on the map in many parts of the world and with many audiences. We hope there is now the chance of building further on this excellent foundation.
Emirates flies three A380 services daily from Auckland to Dubai and beyond via Australia, as well as offering a daily Boeing 777-300ER service from Christchurch.

British lawmakers are to question the country's financial regulator about whether it was lobbied by ministers to change its rules and lure the $2tn flotation of Saudi's Aramco to London.
The fears come amid claims that UK Prime Minister Theresa May and senior government ministers actively attempted to lobby Riyadh for the UK to host the sell-off of the world's biggest energy company.
Andrew Bailey, head of the Financial Conduct Authority, will be questioned by MPs Nicky Morgan, who chairs the Treasury Committee, and Rachel Reeves, who chairs the Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee. A date has yet to be set for the hearings.
On Friday, Morgan made public a joint letter that the two MPs sent to Bailey. In it they asked seven questions, including whether the FCA was "aware of any interest shown by Saudi Aramco in obtaining a UK listing, and if known, how far that interest influenced the consultation?"
Morgan told City AM that the FCA had to maintain its role as the body that preserves the reputation of Britain's financial institution.
“The UK has a world-class reputation for upholding strong corporate governance,” she said. “The FCA must protect this reputation, especially as the City looks to remain competitive and thrive post-Brexit.” The pair plan to discuss Bailey's response with their fellow committee members.
Riyadh is selling a five percent portion of Aramco as part of its Vision 2030 strategy, which aims to cut the kingdom's reliance on oil - which has suffered reduced prices in recent years - and raise $200bn during the next several years.
The FCA is a regulatory body which operates independently of the UK government. It did not mention Aramco when it announced the rule change in July, nor asked during the consultation period whether the flotations by a sovereign state should have a separate category.
Both New York and London have vied for Aramco to host its flotation at their respective stock exchanges.
In April, UK Prime Minister Theresa May, visited Riyadh to meet Aramco's chief executive, Khalid al-Falih, who is also the kingdom's energy minister.
Accompanied by Nikhil Rathi, the head of the London Stock Exchange, May attempted to lure Falih to allow London to host Aramco's flotation.
Downing Street sources also told the Guardian that London's plans to host the flotation were specifically mentioned during several meetings between May and Saudi ministers in April.
The FCA confirmed that it received the letter and said it would reply in due course. It expects to complete its rule change consultation next month.
A survey by the Chartered Institute for Securities and Investment (CISI) of more than 200 financial service professionals has found that a majority are opposed to the rule changes.

appeal against the acquittal of dissident politician Diane Shima Rwigara, who was tried to challenge the rule of President Kagame.
Last December, Diane Shima Rwigara was found not guilty of inciting insurrection and forgery by the Rwandan High Court.
Prosecutors had appealed the acquittal, but the justice ministry last week instructed them not to go forward with it.
Rwigara was arrested in September last year and charged with forgery and inciting insurrection for comments criticizing the government and President Paul Kagame in the run-up to the vote.
She is the daughter of Assinapol Rwigara, an industrialist who in the 1990s was a major financier to the ruling Rwandan Patriotic Front (FPR) party before falling out with its leaders.
Rwandan President Paul Kagame faces regular criticism over rights abuses in his country and intolerance of the opposition while being given credit for his economic reforms.

text: Abstract: Airport benchmarking depends on airport performance and efficiency indicators, and it is an important issue for business, operational management, regulatory agencies, airlines and passengers. Using the MACBETH (Measuring Attractiveness by a Categorical Based Evaluation Technique) approach, a hierarchical additive value model is constructed with criteria weights and value scales derived from expert's judgments (obtained by an online survey) and by comparison of different reference levels and profiles of performance. This model measures airport performance and efficiency and also peer benchmarks it within a set of direct competitors or self-benchmarks itself during a specified period. GDS (Global Decision Support) model outputs, integrated into a management system, allows the identification of deficiencies requiring urgent intervention and corrective measures for its continuous improvement.

Articulates the majority of joints in the body and increases flexibility.
Encourages progressive relaxation and deep, rhythmic breathing.
Allows for a period devoted to transformative imaging and meditation.
When doing the Kata, think in terms of months or years, not days or weeks. The shift from short-term to long-term thinking and regular practice might be the most important lesson this training can offer.
You don’t need any special equipment or athletic skills to enjoy the immense benefits of the Kata. Create a quiet and comfortable space, large enough to perform stretches and gentle movements on a soft surface.
Start slowly and tune into your own body to help guide you through the series of movements. Remember, you are your own authority and safety is your number one priority.
Stay in the present moment and notice how you are feeling both internally and externally. Energy follows attention.
Move from your center (hara). This is your center of mass found just below your navel. By focusing your attention at this point, you can find a sense of calm while grounding and centering.
Be grounded at all times. Keep your feet connected to the mat and feel the power and energy from the earth.
Enjoy yourself and find joy in this present moment!

The garden is looking better than ever after all that rain! Don't miss this Saturday morning from 9-10 a.m. for free local, organic produce. Lots of cilantro, cabbage, asian greens, and cauliflour. Serving some of our infamous Rollingwood Chard Pesto at the Rollingwood Women's Club tomorrow night!
Come on by to harvest some greens and catch up with your neighbors. Donations greatly appreciated. Bring a bag for your booty! Trip to the Barton Creek Mall Farmers Market after that.
Meet Winston. He and his mom Ginger showed up thursday night while Brett and I were covering the plants for the big freeze. He wanted to come in, but wasn't quite sure about what we were doing with these big sheets of plastic, so stayed outside the fence watching and flirting :) Brett gave him a piece of broccoli which his mom said he only ate when disguised in some other food stuff. He proceeded to happily prove her wrong and chomped away the whole time we were there.
Thank you City of Rollingwood and Park Commission for the wonderful trail that loops around the lower playground field and stops at our garden! We hope to get more visitors using the path and look forward to the Eagle Scout Chimney Swift habitat project adjacent to us. The lower field is happening, come check it out.
We hosted our first GARDEN MARKET on Saturday from 9-10am. The idea was hastily formulated over some beers a few days prior so when we showed up at the park, were surprised to see yellow caution tape prohibiting us from entering. Seems that trail construction was still underway and after several early morning calls to the Mayor and some gentle persuading of our police force, we were able to be "escorted" back to the garden safely.
Another great day in the garden... Please be sure to stop by this Saturday from 9-10am if you can.
Happy 2012 to you all. Our celebration/meeting last night was so fun. It's great to see our community and friendships build around this simple little project. The garden is quite prolific at the moment and in our never-ending effort to get YOU into the garden, we've come up with an exciting and flavorful idea.
The garden will be open and available for you to come, sample and harvest the wonderful bounty of lettuces, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts and exotic greens for free!
After that, we'll caravan over to the Barton Creek Mall Farmer's Market to flush out our week's shopping with fresh eggs, grass-fed meats and whatever else looks yummy. You'll be supporting our garden and local farmers by participating and maybe even get in the habit of shopping there weekly.
We hope you will join us starting this Saturday to Taste, Learn and Grow in our Garden.

The Gustavus Homecoming festivities of 2013 were vandalized through an abhorrent act of targeted racism. According to a statement made public by the Dean of Students on September 30th, an unknown individual spray-painted a racial slur, accompanied by the name of a current Gustavus student, on a campus sidewalk. As reported by The Gustavian Weekly on October 4th, the exploit was labeled a “hate crime” under its federal classification, and the incident continues to be investigated by the Campus Safety Office and St. Peter Police Department.
In light of all that often surrounds such deplorable acts of race-based hate, the Lutheran roots of Gustavus are both informative and formative as we seek a framework to name and claim the pain that accompanies this difficult moment in time. In other words, for us to accompany the victim(s) and repair that which appears to be broken, we are compelled to reflect upon what we are as an institution of higher education, and more specifically, consider what kind of community we were first created in 1862 to be. Along these lines, the following are some brief reflections – from the (admittedly limited) perspective of a Gustavus newcomer seeking to interpret Lutheran theology – that may allow us to pause, ponder, and even proceed to plot a path forward.
When the darkness of racism was brought into daylight on Homecoming weekend, not only was it an assault against a specific individual at a particular moment, but the entire foundation and composition of our community was vandalized. As stated by countless faculty, staff, students, and administrators, the ignorant and cowardly exploits of racism must be condemned openly and repeatedly, for not only does such bigotry violate the core values of Gustavus, but the acts committed require a full dosage of accountability. We cannot tolerate racist assaults under any circumstances, and we cannot rest until those responsible are discovered, sanctioned, and rehabilitated.
While we should offer a steady stream of condemnation against racism in all of its forms, we must also commit to the practice of confession, especially among those (like myself) who are racially privileged. As our Lutheran tradition reminds us, there is a measure of goodness in the worst of us and a degree of evil in the best of us, for we all fall short yet continue to be raised up (and the cycle continues, over and over again). As stated by Martin Luther, we are simultaneously both saints and sinners (simul justus et peccator), thus we have the authority to condemn the hate of others but also the humility to confess the hate within our own hearts and minds. As a result, we are indeed compelled to rebuke the recent events on campus, but we do so with the honest recognition that we all possess the capacity for such dreadful acts.
When such deplorable events take place in our midst, a natural tendency is to immediately push forward, as if we are trying to separate ourselves from the awful stench of injustice. While it is understandable to seek rapid solutions to such racist foulness, to do so prematurely is like sprinting on a treadmill: We move quickly but go nowhere. And so, instead of trying to push past the toxicity of racial violence far too prematurely, the time is upon us to consider in detail the various public and personal conditions that allow for such attitudes and behaviors to exist. If we resist the temptation to rush and push aside our pain, and if we move forward with deliberation and purpose, together we may find bold and creative methods to create a more conscious and compassionate campus environment.
The Lutheran theological tension of Law and Gospel (found in Article 4 of the Apology of the Augsburg Confession, 1531), is illuminating under such critical circumstances, for just as death predates resurrection, conviction comes before liberation, and truth precedes reconciliation. In other words, it has to hurt before it heals. And so, while we are tempted to immediately move past the uncomfortable stench of a race-based incident, the best first step may be to take no steps at all, for we must stop, reflect, and allow ourselves to fully absorb the awful odor of racial discrimination in order to ensure that we do all that is necessary to prevent such transgressions from happening again.
While retribution is a frequent response to such repulsive racist activity, we recognize that resentment corrodes its container, and because hate in response to hate creates more hate, we affirm restorative justice as method of collective and corrective engagement. The restorative justice model, as the name itself indicates, is designed to “restore” that which is broken in our community. In other words, instead of retribution through retaliation, to respond through restoration is to recognize that such immoral acts are grounded in something far deeper than a broken law or social norm, thus justice is not merely “paying the perpetrator back”, but it is more about “paying the community forward”, for as Cornel West stated, “justice is what love looks like in public”. And so, when the identity of the alleged perpetrator is eventually discovered, we are called to prevent revenge and promote reconciliation, for responding to racist hate with hate for the racist will only push us backwards.
One can argue that restorative justice is grounded in a “Theology of the Cross” (Theologia Cruets) articulated by Martin Luther in his Heidelberg Disputation of 1518. Among other things, Luther showed that violence can be opposed without being mirrored, oppression can be resisted without being emulated, and as modeled by Jesus, enemies can even be loved as fellow Children of God. Perhaps most of all, a Theology of the Cross shows that violence can be defied with non-violence, hatred can be countered with grace and love, and ultimately none of us “get what we deserve”, for we receive love, grace and mercy from God even when we dish out hate, violence, and aggression toward God and one another. And so, regardless of whether or not one is a Lutheran, Christian, or a person of any faith tradition, we are shown that real power is displayed not through racist hatred on a sidewalk, but with a communal embrace for the sake of reconciliation.
As Martin Luther asked repeatedly through his Small Catechism of 1529, we are called to consider, “So What Does This Mean”? In response to all that has occurred over the past weeks, what does this mean for the victim(s) trying to live and learn in our midst? So what does this mean for the alleged victimizer(s) potentially still living among us? So what does this mean for underrepresented students, faculty, staff, and administrators at Gustavus Adolphus College? So what does this mean for the racially privileged (like myself) who rarely – if ever – live in fear of race-based hate?
In addition to providing comfort and care for the victim(s) of this recent racial attack, we should continue to consider the numerous questions that now surround us, for we cannot address that which we do not fully observe, and we will not move past that which we do not openly acknowledge. And so, the time is upon us – all of us – to name and claim our pain, for in a connected community of companions such as Gustavus, hate expressed against anyone anywhere is felt and mourned by everyone everywhere, thus we cannot ignore the blatant assault which has occurred in our midst. While some may seek to hide this event from plain view, our role is bring it to the surface and allow the bright light of who we truly are to expose it, shine on it, and burn it away. We are Gustavus, not hate, which means we are not defined by this uncharacteristic act of hatred, nor are we held captive by it, for we have what is needed to overcome it. Through our continued commitment to seeing ourselves in the lives of each other, and with a renewed communal pledge to pursue the principles of justice and peace, we may face our harsh realities together, and in doing so, be set free to bring a new tomorrow more fully into being.

If you recall, there wasn't an official Test Kitchen ingredient posted last week due to it being the Thanksgiving weekend then. I mean, how could I try to even get some ideas churning in my and your brains when we were busy strategizing for the big turkey day? Regardless, I still did manage to put something together using an ingredient I hadn't cooked with before - almond butter! Here's a satay sauce dish that will hopefully be a welcome spin on what you may be used to having as with peanuts. Before you get up in arms with me about the naming, I know this isn't a satay dish; it's merely tofu with a sauce I would encourage to use with satay.
Discard water from the package of tofu and press tofu block gently to release any excess liquids. Cut into 1-inch cubes and place in a bowl. Mix with soy sauce and sesame oil. In another bowl, combine all ingredients for the sauce and mix very well. You may want to use a food processor if you prefer to make it smoother.
In a medium skillet on medium-high heat, add tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides. Add sauce and stir. Serve over rice and enjoy!
"King Island Dairy Roaring Forties Blue is a full flavoured blue with a sweet, slightly nutty character, a rich mouth feel and good aftertaste. The rindless cheese is matured in its wax coating, which cuts off the oxygen supply, promoting its sweet and fruity flavour. The wax also assists in retaining the blue's moisture, creating a smooth and creamy texture.
The cheese is named after the infamous Roaring Forties gales which frequently bring westerly winds of more than 100km per hour to the island which lies on 40 degrees latitude."

Studies in dentistry have shown that more people have been using fluoride-free toothpaste for their everyday brushing. This fact is troubling to some dental health experts as it is believed these patients will be at a greater risk to develop dental decay, or cavities.
Typically, most toothpastes contain fluoride as its main ingredient. Studies have shown that it is cavity blocker: fluoride can strengthen the teeth by being incorporated into the enamel (outer layer of the tooth) when it comes in contact with the tooth. This stronger enamel is able to better resist breakdown that is started by cavity-causing bacteria. Thus, fluoride helps prevent cavities. On the other hand, marketers of natural ingredient toothpastes, as well as alternative medicine advocates, state that fluoride-free toothpastes can also prevent cavities. Through merely wiping the teeth with a toothbrush and an abrasive paste (non-fluoridated), cavities can be prevented. This is where dental experts do not agree.
It has been widely accepted by most dentists for decades that brushing alone does not really stop the teeth from decaying, but rather, the “application” of fluoride to the tooth by way of using a toothpaste prevents tooth decay. However, there is a percentage of dentists and other dental health professionals that do not recommend fluoride supplementation. In fact, they believe that fluoride can be harmful to the body. As this has been a point of contention in dentistry for many years, there have been many studies done on this topic. These studies have shown that brushing alone is not enough to prevent cavities. The addition of fluoride to the toothpaste is the key ingredient to preventing decay formation.
In recent sales turnout, the the popularity of non-fluoridated toothpaste is on the rise. Aside from the fact that consumers are generally unaware of this need for fluoride toothpaste, the idea that ingesting fluoride may cause bodily harm has led them to buy fluoride-free toothpaste. There is no concrete evidence to support this claim.
Current sales records have shown that an antiplaque and whitening toothpaste was listed as the second best selling toothpaste in Amazon. This toothpaste is also fluoride free. When questioned about this fact, marketing agents for the product reiterated that their product does not promise the cavity prevention benefit. Unfortunately, it is very possible that this message is not getting passed on clearly to the consumers. There is a common misconception that all toothpaste is created equal. In this case, it is not.
But in fairness, brushing and/or flossing alone does benefit overall oral hygiene. It helps to clean the teeth, remove plaque. Some studies have even shown that brushing can reduce swollen gums, remove stuck food in between the teeth, and can even help patients to recover after undergoing oral surgery.
The issue come in when we talk cavity prevention. While brushing and flossing alone have many benefits, studies yield to a common conclusion that these activities alone cannot prevent cavities from forming. It was a long standing notion that as long as you keep your teeth clean, you can prevent cavities from forming. But according to further studies and their results, cavities break down the enamel of a tooth as they form and develop. Thus by strengthening the enamel, fluoride can help to prevent tooth decay.
The risk of fluoride intake is almost negligible as the fluoride content in toothpaste is not enough to cause harm to humans with proper daily use.
Using a fluoride-free toothpaste does not prevent against development of cavities.
A minty taste during and after brushing does not necessarily mean the teeth are free from plaque and thoroughly cleaned.
Fluoride is absorbed by the teeth and help them resist bacteria. Without it, continuous exposure to bacteria and plaque could eventually lead to decay.
Christina Wright (I hope the name is right) was excellent. No pain and she was a true professional.
I have always been pleased with my treatment because I am treated like a valued family member.
My regular checkup and cleaning was excellent. Had a sharp edge on tooth that Dr. Bohnert polished off as part of the exam. I have been a patient since 1983 and have always received excellent care by Dr. Bohnert and his staff. This year the practice offered established patients who were veterans $100 off as a thank you for their service. I am a veteran and was very thankful to receive this generous discount given with a smile and pat on the back.
