Once again I would like to meet Zakaria in Sefrou. On a Friday night when the harira stalls are open in the dusky side streets we bump into each other amid lively noise of the central market. He, with a smile short of some teeth, shows good command of English and fondly recalls the days when Jimi Hendrix was around, and not only him. Zakaria comes from the Moroccan hippie generation and knows the power of guitars and hand claps. We both might not have heard about Leven Signs but it’s never too late to learn about the enticing music after the flower power and before Panda Bear and Animal Collective.
Initially released in 1985, Leven Signs’s album “Hemp Is Here” is another long-lost oddity reissued by Digitalis. Back then the UK duo Peter Karkut and Maggie Turner opted for a daring blend of synth-tinged psych-folk and Oriental exotica spiced with cellos, trumpets and various breeds of percussion. The album might easily generate unexpected cultural associations, from James Ivory movies to Arabian tales.
The extraordinary world of Leven Signs opens with khat-chewing dervishes and Hare Krishna sisters riding the sand dunes in “Our Position Vanishes”, which leads the thoughts to Spengler and the Decline of the Western World. “Prague Spring” is a hearty and hazy song while “Iraj” returns to Oriental paths. In “La Luna” we feel the dramatic breath of punky wave and Karl Biscuit before to be catapulted to the Middle Ages with “Sedes Sapientiae”.
Another great find is “Carry The Torch” which features drum’n’bass from the times it was not even officially invented and branded. A track that tops all the previous is the organ-driven “Das Seal” – mesmerizing and bleepy cathedral ceremony and a juicy target for talents seeking exciting remix duties.
The synth-obsessed and always surprising imprint from Tulsa resumes with success its educational mission about the hidden talents of the past and today. Now just ride the sound dunes with Leven Signs.

While the British Metropolitan police were quick to raid Safa Einollahi's house and suspect him for "terrorist" activities, or shoot Jean-Charles Menendez, the innocent Brazilian, five times in the head, they seem to be some what more lethargic in moving against the real threats against this country.
A group called Vigil, have infiltrated one of the most extremist groups in Britain, the radical al-Muhajiroun group, headed by Omar Bakri Mohammed, yet they claim the British police are just not interested in their evidence.
One academic, who is a member of Vigil, contacted the Metropolitan Police's anti-terrorist hotline saying he had more than 100 hours of material from the chatroom only to be told to contact his local police station.
"The anti-terrorist office showed no sense of urgency to get this information," he said.
It has also been emerged today that a senior executive officer, Abid Javid, in Immigration and Nationality Directorate which processes tens of thousands of asylum and visa applications every year, is a member of the fundamentalist Islamic group Hizb-ul Tahrir which believes in a worldwide Islamic state under Shariah law.
I have seen tens of genuine asylum applications by bonafide secular Iranian political activists refused by the Home Office, and yet unsavoury characters determined to break up the very fabric of this society keep pouring in. I always suspected infiltration in the Home Office by Islamic radicals and have written about it in the past. Today's news confirms my suspicions.
To speak out your mind and to try to tell the truth to the English establishment, when it does not suit their foreign policies is to invite harassment, losing one's job and being deported.
That is why a lot of Persian in this country stay silent and withdrew from politics.
Sham on the British police who should know better than to make trouble for the freedom seeking innocent Persians who only want to tell the truth and stop this terrorists madness. (including the killings of the British forces in Iraq and Afghanistan).
Have you read the book "Lonodonistan" by Melanie Phillips?
Potkin, dear, You're not being reasonable. What else did you expect? The Brits are obligated to defend their puppet mullahs. They're just protecting the investment they made in 1979. It's all good.
Ian Blair, the Met chief, should have been made to resign after shooting of the innocent Brazilian. He is absolutely hopeless.
"senior executive officer, Abid Javid, in Immigration and Nationality Directorate...is a member of the fundamentalist Islamic group Hizb-ul Tahrir"
Meet the Iran Enterprise Institute. Its name might sound familiar.
Unchastened by the catastrophe of the Iraq war or the setback delivered to the White House and Republicans in the midterm elections in part as a result of it, Iran hawks have organized new efforts to promote U.S. support for regime change in Tehran.
This woman needs to be stopped. What can we do to stop her vile attempt at character assassinations of our political activists?
People should know better than to believe baseless accusations and dubious testamonies.
Vigil is nothing more than a conspiracy-theorist group. It is no more serious than anti-government conspiracy-theorists or even UFO-seekers!
I suggest that serious attention should be paid to the real issues- the government and media's attempt to ban political dissent in their country. The difference between the west and the middle east, is that at least in the middle east, there are no pretentions to free speech. The government is open about the fact it suppresses political dissent. Whereas in the west, if you expresses ideas contrary to the established belief, tastes and interests of the society/government- you will be labeled 'extremists' and attempts will be made to ban you.
My favourite quote is by malcolm X: "What we are witnessing, is the hypocrisy of democracy"
Vigil's founders believe that the police, security and intelligence services are so overstretched that they need help.
The organisation seeks to make Britain a safer place by disrupting and exposing terrorist activity. It is also working with media groups to highlight the threat from Muslim extremists. Last week it teamed up with BBC2's Newsnight* and Radio 4's File on 4*.
Now this, under the UK Governments own enacted 'Terror' legislation, is ILLEGAL !
It has five paid staff and a further 25 workers, many with military, security, intelligence and financial experience who charge only their expenses.

The discovery of small pieces of plastic has prompted J & G Foods, Inc. of Sutton, Massachusetts to recall approximately 34,000 pounds of ground beef. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, the contaminated products were produced on Dec. 23, 2014 and include 1-lb. packages of “Wegman’s Organic 93% Lean/7% Fat Grass-Fed Ground Beef” as well as multi-pack packages containing three 1-lb packages with the same label. The contaminated products contain what consumers describe as small, translucent and flexible plastic strips and were sold between Dec. 27 and Jan.13, 2015.
Not sure if you purchased one of the affected packages? Look for “EST. 8466” inside the USDA mark of inspection and a use or freeze-by date of Jan. 16, 2015. The recalled products were sold in retail locations in Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
While there have been no reports of injury, illness or adverse reactions due to the consumption of the tainted beef products, the Wegmans’ website says the product may be returned for a full refund.
Publix Super Markets issued a recall of ready-to-cook chicken and beef fajitas and pork chorizo burgers because they may contain undeclared peanuts. According to Publix, the affected products were sold in stores across Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee, and were packaged in foam trays with plastic over-wrap. Recalled products include all sell-by dates through Jan. 14, 2015.

Porcelain Veneers are one of the primary tools in cosmetic dentistry to create your smile makeover. If you ever wished you could radically redesign your smile, veneers could be just the solution for your teeth. The smile you’ve always dreamed of can be yours in as little as four days at the state-of-the-art Aesthetika Dental Center in San Francisco. With dental veneers, we can fix any number of naturally occurring problems: from discoloration, uneven or worn-out teeth, to a “gummy” smile and spaces between the teeth.
Porcelain veneers are the ultimate accessories. They consist of a thin, custom-made covering that conceals both the front and side surfaces of your tooth, functioning just like an artificial fingernail would. However, unlike a fingernail, porcelain veneers are made of durable ceramic material that is bonded to the tooth surface and actually strengthens the tooth.

Your hearing aid worked perfectly a few minutes ago, and now the sound is gone…It worked yesterday…What happened to the volume; it disappeared? Are these familiar scenarios to you? Do you wonder if the hearing aid is broken? Before, you take your hearing aids in for repairs, here are some troubleshooting tips on how to identify the issues. Often you can fix the volume or sound issue without needing to take your hearing aids in for repairs.
Check these 5 troubleshooting tips; it may save you a trip to the audiologist.
How often has a computer or mobile phone been updated with software only to malfunction after the update? The computer worked perfectly, and now the keyboard isn’t working properly, or you can’t open your email app. How many times has the sound disappeared after a mobile update, or the screen is stuck, and nothing happens. You can’t get out of the app, and you can’t move forward.
When this happens, what is the first thing you do? For those of you who like playing games, you’ll be shouting like a chorus, “Reboot! Reboot.” Rebooting is the quickest way to solve many electronic issues. For some wonderful reason, the cause is rectified by resetting the computer or mobile phone.
The hearing aid is also an electric device. In the same way that you solve issues by switching your computer or mobile on and off, often that is all the hearing aid needs. If you accidently bumped against the hearing aids settings, the switching on and off often resets the settings.
The sound that suddenly disappeared or the volume that is too soft sometimes needs a reboot. Switching the hearing aid off and then on again is the first step. If this doesn’t solve the volume and sound, then try these 4 tips.
For those who listen to the radio, know how disturbing interference over the radio could be. If the radio dial isn’t set to the correct frequency, the radio channel sounds distort. Sometimes the sound of the hearing aid gives that same disturbance; you wish it had a tuning nob like the radio to get it back on the channel.
Your hearing aids actually do have a way to get rid of that distorting sound. That distorting interference could be because the hearing aid volume is set too loud for your needs.
Slowly decrease the volume slightly or until the sound is back again. By moving the volume control a notch lower, you’ve created the same effect as tuning the radio frequency to the right channel.
Perhaps the sound wasn’t distorted because the volume was set too high, but the opposite happened. The sound disappeared, and you know it’s not the battery because you recently replaced the battery.
Check if the volume control wasn’t moved to off or a too low volume. Simply increase the volume and see if the sound improves.
You may wonder how this could happen; you didn’t even touch your hearing aids. Most of the times it happens unintentionally. You could’ve combed your hair or adjusted your glasses and accidently bumped against the volume control. Sometimes it happens with moving your head against an object. It’s like adjusting your glasses because it shifted slightly.
As mentioned before, accidently bumping the hearing aids and changing the settings can easily happen.
If adjusting the volume control didn’t solve the issue, check all the settings. Your audiologist programmed your hearing aids according to your needs. Although these settings are fixed, it could happen that a setting changed.
Before you contact your audiologist, switch your hearing aid off and on again. Most hearing aids are designed to revert to the programmed settings when switched on. It means that if you accidently changed the settings or volume, switching the device on and off will solve the issue. The hearing aid simply resets itself.
If it wasn’t the volume control, then check the battery. The battery affects the hearing aid sound and volume in various ways.
A dead battery may be the cause of sound disappearing suddenly. Most hearing aids give warning sounds when the battery life is almost gone. A slow decrease in the sound levels often accompanies the warning as the battery’s life decreases until it dies.
Replacing the dead battery with a fresh battery will restore sound immediately if a dead battery was the cause.
It may be that there’s nothing wrong with the battery, but it was placed incorrectly in the casing. Simply remove the battery, switch it around, and place it back. It is easy to insert the battery the wrong way around. Many hearing aid wearers can replace batteries with their eyes closed. They don’t have to look; inserting a new battery has become second nature.
You do it so automatically that you’re not always focused on inserting the battery. You may insert it the wrong way around. Then your hearing aid won’t function at all, and you won’t hear any sound.
Before you replace the battery, make sure you have inserted it correctly.
How do you know the battery is the cause?
A live battery emits a whistling sound. Remove the hearing aid and place your hand loosely around it. If you hear a whistling sound, the battery is working. If the whistling sound is too soft for you to hear; ask someone to check it for you.
The tubing is often the culprit in affecting the sound quality but is not the obvious solution that comes to mind. For the sound to move through the hearing aid system, the tubing needs to be whole. A cracked, hard or tubing with a tiny hole will drastically influence the sound quality.
The cracked and hard tubing needs to be replaced. Usage and the weather affect the material the tubing is made of. The tubing hardens with age and cracks occur.
Wet weather and moisture in the air may be the cause of moisture entering the tubing. It is important to remember this especially during rainy seasons and wet winters. Moisture in the tubing will result in loss of sound. Pump air with the small handheld pump through the tubing until the moisture has evaporated.
Ear wax may enter the tubing or earmold and decrease the volume and sound of the hearing aid. Clean the tubing and wait until completely dry before you attach it to the casing.
Tubing issues are common with behind the ear hearing aids. The tubes are longer than inside the ear hearing aids because it connects ear mold in the ear with the hearing aid casing behind the ear. The tubing is outside and is easily affected by the environment.
As a hearing aid wearer, you are sensitive to sound and any change in your hearing. Therefore, if the volume or sound changes suddenly for no apparent reason, you could panic or worry. Your first thought may be that there is something wrong with the hearing aids. Silently you fear your hearing has worsened and although you don’t want your hearing aid to break, rather that than your own hearing.
The above troubleshooting tips showed that most of the time a sudden volume or sound issue could be fixed quickly and easily. Most of the time it is a simple cause with a simple solution that requires checking a few things.
Next time if your hearing aid volume distorts or the sound disappears, go through these 5 troubleshooting tips.
Switch the hearing aid off and on again. Sometimes that’s all that is required to restore sound.
Check if the volume of the hearing aid is set too loud. By decreasing the volume, the distorted sound caused by too high volume will disappear.
Check if the hearing aid volume control was accidently pushed to a too low sound level. By increasing the volume, the sound will be perfect again.
Resetting the hearing aid will fix any settings that were accidently changed.
If your battery is whistling when you place your hearing aid in your cupped hands, then it’s not dead.
Check if the hearing aid battery was placed correctly inside its casing. If not, change the battery around and insert it again.
Moisture in the tubing will affect the sound quality and volume. Remove the moisture.
Check the tubing for ear wax and clean the tubing.
Tubing that is hard or cracked needs to be replaced.
If none of these tips helped to improve the sound quality, then take your hearing aid in for repairs. If you feel uncertain about any of these troubleshooting tips, be safe and take the hearing aid to a professional. Don’t take chances, if you think it could be your hearing, make an appointment for a consultation with your ear, nose, and throat specialist.

When Moses was born his mother hid him, “she took an ark of bulrushes” and covered it with “asphalt and pitch” (NKJV) and hid him. (Ex 2;1-3) She placed him in an “ark.” Noah was instructed by God to build an “ark” covered with “pitch” (Gen 6;14). Both these arks were placed in water.
The ark and the water is a symbol of water baptism. Preservation and salvation. It was through the ark that’s Moses life was preserved from a wicked Pharaoh and it was through the ark that Noah and his family were saved from the flood that covered the earth. “Doth not baptism now save us?
“The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:” (1 Peter 3;21) baptism and salvation are connected, resurrection and baptism are also connected. Baptism is a deliverance.

Israel was making intense preparations on Monday to foil plans by hundreds of activists to flood Israel's Ben Gurion international airport on Friday in a show of solidarity with the Palestinians.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch to coordinate all law enforcement and aviation authorities, said a statement from Netanyahu's office.
Israeli media reported that flights landing on Friday from Europe would be taken to a separate terminal and all passengers carefully screened.
"This planned provocation will be dealt with in accordance with Israeli law and international law and conventions," the statement from the premier's office said, without giving further details.
Pro–Palestinian activists have said they plan to arrive in their hundreds at Ben Gurion airport outside Tel Aviv on July 8 to protest against Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip.
"We have responded to a call from Palestinian associations and about 500 hundred of us, women, men and children, will leave on July 8 to show them the world hasn't forgotten them," organisers said on the website www.bienvenuepalestine.com.
The group is said to include about 300 French and others from Belgium, Germany, Italy and the United States.
"We are not going to hide the fact that we are coming to visit our Palestinian friends," the website remarks said.
"The Israel government has no right to refuse us entry to the occupied Palestinian territories."
The move comes as a flotilla of international activists that had planned to try and breach the blockade failed to get permission to set sail from Greece, apparently as a result of Israeli diplomatic pressure.
"Hundreds of internationals on their way to visit Palestinians in Gaza have been prevented from departing from the ports in Greece," Elsa Rassbach, one of the activists, wrote in a statement received by AFP on Sunday.
"However, we hope that hundreds of others of us from many countries will succeed in reaching Palestine by flying to Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv.
"Supporting our visit to Palestine will be one small step towards bringing about the freedom of movement for all the peoples of Israel/Palestine that is essential for peace and justice in the Middle East," she said.
Israel on Sunday slammed the plan.
"This planned event is a continuation of the attempts to undermine Israel's right to exist and to attempt to breach its borders and sovereignty by sea, land and by air," the statement from Netanyahu's office said.

W. Somerset Maugham's first novel is about the gloomy, poverty-stricken world of South London in the 1890s and how it affects one young girl who tries to escape from it.
William Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) was born in the British embassy in Paris in 1874, son of a British solicitor and his socialite wife. His secret passion for literature led to the publication of "Liza of Lambeth" in 1897, and sparked a literary career that would make Maugham one of England's most successful authors of the twentieth century. The novel depicts the Lambeth slum along Vere Street, London, and the people who lived in poverty there. Liza Kent is the youngest of 13 children, is working in a factory in the slum, and enters into a passionate but reckless affair with an older, married neighbor, Jim Blakeston. Although the novel demonstrates clear themes of poverty and stereotypical gender roles, it surprisingly does not call for social reform.

I have been thinking a lot about the issue of written feedback, partly as I’ve been running inset on this topic to a few different audiences. As schools tighten up on assessment, there are inevitable concerns about the sustainability of their strategies and policies. This is a hot topic at the moment, and is identified as part of the Government’s teacher workload challenge. If you’re interested, you can find the policy review group’s full report (March ’16) here: Eliminating unnecessary workload around marking. If you’re interested, but not in a 13 pages kind of way, then let me summarise in a sentence: if it doesn’t lead to learning, stop doing it.
Around the same time that this report was released, the EEF also produced a document reviewing the evidence into the impact of different strategies. If you’re 35 pages of interested then you can read the full document here, but to save you time I’ll summarise: if it doesn’t lead to learning, stop doing it.
This means that we need to exercise some will power when it comes to marking notes and writing general comments/praise in pupils’ books (e.g. An excellent piece of homework!). These practices do not lead to learning and need to be eliminated. Please don’t think I’m suggesting we don’t praise pupils, but when we do, it should be for something specific (See codebreaker exercise later. On this worksheet I also list the reasons for ticking pupils’ work and they have to work out what each tick is for).
There are other points raised in both of these documents, but the message for teachers is clear. My take on it is this: written feedback from the teacher is a powerful tool in our assessment arsenal, but there are many others which will often (not always) do just as good a job. To be most effective we need to pick just the right tool for each situation and task; this will inevitably mean using a full variety. It also means planning ahead in terms of the assessment we are going to use and thinking about the pattern of assessment across a series of lessons or a unit.
Feedback Stickers – this is an idea used by members of the Maths department where stickers are printed with an outline of each topic covered. These can be stuck into books and RAG rated to save time on marking. These can also contain DIRT tasks relating to the topic being covered.
A strategy from an article in The Guardian (full article here) is the “5 Minute Flick” – flick through books and pick examples to illustrate common misconceptions. Go through these as a class and then allow pupils to correct their own work.
Dot round – walk around the classroom as pupils are working. Instead of correcting misconceptions, just place a dot on the page when pupils have got an answer wrong – it’s up to them to find and correct the mistake. This type of approach is supported by some of the research in the EEF document (“a number of studies from higher education and EFL recommend that it should be marked as incorrect, but that the correct answer should not be provided. One study of undergraduates even found that providing the correct answer to mistakes was no more effective than not marking the work at all.”).
Padlet marking – I have also been using a form of group marking where pupil answers are collated on a website: www.padlet.com. If you’ve not used this website before, it’s really easy to access and takes no time at all to set up tasks. I get the pupils to write collaboratively in groups. Their responses can then be printed (Share > Share/Export/Embed tab > Save as PDF) and feedback given. This is helpful to me because I mark 10 paragraphs instead of 32, but it also gives pupils a chance to work together and discuss ideas. I ask them to copy the group feedback into their own exercise books (which will be in the form of questions) and carry out the DIRT activities.
These are just some ideas and they won’t entirely replace a more traditional marking of books. However they are means of providing quicker feedback to pupils that results in learning. Some of the strategies, e.g. the dot round and five minute flick, work best as an interim strategy so that pupils receive feedback whilst the work is being completed and can improve on this before the books are handeed in for marking or used for peer assessment.
I would begin by thinking across a series of lessons and what you hope to achieve. For example, I’m currently teaching Jekyll and Hyde to Year 11 and want them to be able to write about character development in the first 5 chapters. So the skill I’m focusing on is predominantly language analysis. I started by sharing the assessment criteria early on. Then I got them to complete a short piece of writing – one paragraph was all that was required to give feedback on the skill I’m teaching, so that’s all I asked for. At this point I knew I’d end up correcting silly mistakes and common errors, so I used the codebreaker exercise first. This also works well early on because it helps pupils to familiarise themselves with the marking criteria. Following this, I did some shared writing to give them a clearer sense of what was expected. They finished off this piece of writing themselves and peer-assessed against the shared criteria. Finally they are going to write their own, more extended, answer which I will assess more formally because I’m confident that I’ll be getting the best they can do by this point and so I’m getting better value from my feedback. I will mark this with questions and they will redraft as a DIRT exercise.
The outline above follows a pattern of two lower stakes assessments followed by something more formal. As the year progresses, I will use a similar pattern of formative-formative-summative so that pupils know the grade they’re working at as well as how to improve.
What is important here is that the skill I’m teaching is driving my choice of assessment and I’m planning the learning around this. All too often I see teachers planning tasks without considering how they will be assessed.
I am interested to hear about any other ideas you might have to help make marking as effective as possible in terms of time and impact. I certainly intend to do my part and, when I conduct work scrutiny, I will be looking for marking that leads to learning and asking teachers to cut back on that which doesn’t.

Life on Europa? The moon with life in a subsurface ocean?
This moon of Jupiter might have life in a subsurface ocean.
Life on Europa: Water from a subsurface ocean on Jupiter's moon, Europa, could reach the surface through seeps or erupt from hot water vents. This water would reveal the chemistry of the subsurface ocean and may contain microbes that live below. Artist's concept image by NASA / JPL.
Subsurface structure of Europa: This image shows the internal structure of Europa. It has an icy crust supported by a subsurface ocean. Below that is the rocky layer surrounding an iron core. Image by NASA / JPL.
For the past several centuries, everyone believed that Mars was the most likely body in our solar system to support life beyond Earth. But after centuries of telescope observation, decades of spacecraft exploration, and several robots exploring its surface, the promise of discovering life on Mars remains elusive.
Now, scientific attention is being focused on Europa, the fourth-largest of Jupiter's 67 confirmed moons. It may be an even better candidate for finding life than Mars. For life to be present the three basic requirements are: 1) liquid water; 2) chemical building blocks; and, 3) a source of energy. Europa is thought to have all three.
The surface of Europa is very cold and covered with ice. This ice forms a "crust" on the moon that is thought to be several kilometers thick. Beneath the crust, a subsurface ocean of liquid water up to 100 kilometers deep is thought to exist. Investigators believe that the ocean is rich in dissolved ions, particularly magnesium, sodium, potassium, and chlorine. Organisms on Earth live in ion-rich solutions, so there is a good chance that they live in them on Europa.
Video: Europa - Cool Destination for Life, produced by NASA / JPL News.
Spacecraft observations determined that the surface of Europa is covered with water ice. That ice and other materials on Europa's surface are bombarded with radiation from Jupiter that could alter them into some of the chemical building blocks of life. These include: free oxygen (O2), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), carbon dioxide (CO2), and sulfur dioxide (SO2).
If these compounds reach the subsurface ocean, they can be valuable nutrients to start and sustain life. The ocean water can react with the rocks and minerals of the subsurface ocean's floor to liberate other nutrients to support life.
Video: The Europa-Jupiter System Mission, produced by NASA / JPL News.
Video: Hubble Directly Images Possible Plumes on Europa, produced by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center/Katrina Jackson.
Europa's position in space is within the powerful gravitational field of Jupiter. This strong gravitational "pull" has the moon locked into an orbit with one hemisphere constantly facing Jupiter. The elliptical orbit takes Europa alternatively closer to and farther away from the planet. This alternating increase and decrease of gravitational force on Europa results in the moon elongating and relaxing with each trip around the planet. This internal movement, combined with gravitational forces exerted by neighboring moons, produces internal friction and heat within Europa.
Europa's internal heat could be the energy source that keeps the subsurface ocean from freezing and sustains any life that exists there. There could be hot water vents on the floor of the subsurface ocean that deliver energy and nutrients from the planet's interior. Organisms on Earth have been discovered in the subglacial lakes of Antarctica and in the hot ion-rich waters of hydrothermal vents. Life in Europa's subsurface oceans could be supported in similar ways.
Europa from Galileo: An image of the trailing hemisphere of Europa. It shows very few impact structures but numerous ridges and fractures that suggest a rigid crust moving over a mobile layer below. Image by NASA.
NASA gives three pieces of evidence that strongly support the presence of Europa's subsurface ocean.
1) Magnetometer surveys done by the Galileo spacecraft discovered an induced magnetic field near Europa's surface. This suggests a large body of conductive material (salty water) at a depth of 30 kilometers (about 20 miles) or less.
2) The surface of Europa has bands, ridges, fractures and multi-ringed impact structures that suggest the presence of mobile material below.
3) The surface of Europa has large-scale fractures and ridges similar to those that bound Earth's tectonic plates. These suggest a mobile layer below Europa's crust that supports the crust and allows it to move.
A Window into Europa's Ocean Right at the Surface: Website article by NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, March 2013.
Europa & Titan: Moons With Life?: Article from the Earthguide section of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California San Diego website, last accessed October 2016.
Europa Could Have the Ingredients Needed for Life: Article from the NASA website, March 2013.
What Makes Us Think There is an Ocean Beneath Europa's Icy Crust?: Article from the NASA website, March 2013.
The presence of magnesium compounds on the surface of Europa suggests that water from the subsurface ocean reaches the surface through springs or vents. If this occurs these eruptions would deliver up ions and microbes from the ocean below.
So, if there is life in Europa's subsurface ocean, it could be scattered about the surface of the planet where landers or rovers might find it. A mission to the surface of the Europa might easily find evidence of life or even some of the microbes by sampling surface materials.
This makes Europa a very interesting target in the search for extraterrestrial life. Some researchers believe that it is a much better target than Mars.

Not all CrossFit programs are the same. Integral CrossFit is a school of fitness that started in 2011. We moved from Gunbarrel to Niwot in 2015. As a school of fitness we believe in teaching not only how to do exercise but why. We believe in establishing a good foundation for the body to remain injury free. This stems from our Founder’s 22 years as an Advanced Rolfer and doing CrossFit in other gyms where injuries were considered the norm. The majority of our coaches are health professionals and are all fanatics about proper movement training. We train with a strength/mobility focus because strong bodies are more useful to us in everyday life. We emphasize technical proficiency because this is the simplest, most efficient way to get work done while remaining injury free. Steady progress based on a solid foundation is much more productive over the long term.
In 2003 when CrossFit started posting workouts on the internet the majority of the people who followed it were military, fire/police whose jobs required they be prepared for unknown physical stress. The definition of functional fitness for these early adopters is much different from what people who are coming to CrossFit today experience. While our day to day physical experience does not differ much, but when it does we still need to be prepared. Functional Fitness for the rest of us has to be in support of our daily physical requirements, while at the same time leaving us prepared for the occasional unknown—pushing our car out of a snow drift, etc.
We recognize that not everyone is looking to train to be a competitive CrossFit athlete. In fact most of are interested in longevity and living in a healthy body. We also recognize that CrossFit is, in our opinion, the most effective way to train for physical improvements, no matter what your fitness starting point is. Some people who come to us to train will need to be able to jump high, others will need to learn how to best get out of a chair. To accomplish this our programming is a blend of CrossFit workouts, proven strength protocols and fascial tissue rehab. Every class includes an extensive warmup, skills/strength and a conditioning workout which we scale up or down to meet the physical abilities/needs of each person. Our training reflects a natural athletic cycle training-testing-competing, for some of us the competition will be something as mundane as playing with our children, for others it may be an IronMan or a CrossFit competition.
We use the CrossFit methodology to meet our General Purpose Physical Preparedness goals, simply because it is the best we know of. We use USA Weightlifing’s proven training techniques for our weightlifting goals, simple because it’s a documented, certifiable program.
No matter where you are in your exercise journey, proper execution of the movements takes precedence in our workouts. Sacrificing form for some misguided belief in intensity is a pathway to long term injury which we do not allow.
We’re not a Boot Camp. Most of the Coaches are Military Veterans who’ve been through the military boot camp. We don’t yell at you or belittle you. We believe in “whispering the correction and shouting the praise”. Don’t get us wrong we are relentless in asking you to improve and expect that you’ll meet us halfway with your effort.
We instruct you to be a fitter person and set you up for a lifetime of functional strength and conditioning success. By progressively blending strength training with exercise, our members remain healthy and able to keep coming back for more.
To teach our members how to achieve their maximum potential through functional training and nutrition, in the best training environment possible.
Understanding our member demographic allows us to design unique programs that focus on fundamental movements. We want you to understand the difference between training alone in a room full of machines and training in a supportive, quality coaching environment. Integral CrossFit coaches instruct each class, helping our athletes train using tried and true exercises with cutting edge program design to facilitate optimal health and fitness.
We train to better meet the challenges of the world outside the gym. Those challenges are sometimes known: going climbing, playing sports. Often they are not known: having to push a car to start it, or shovel it out of the snow. We have a training mindset and philosophy. We don’t just come into the gym to get our required workout over with and check one more box on our to do list. We come in to the gym to get better at life’s physical challenges.


text: This study determined the effect of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), storage atmosphere storage time and harvest maturity on the content of sugars, titratable acidity (TA), malic acid, volatile compounds, total phenolic content (TPC), total antioxidant activity (TAA), and physiochemical juice quality parameters of cloudy, clear and fresh juices prepared from ‘McIntosh’ and ‘Honeycrisp’ apples. The effectiveness of 1-MCP treatment was confirmed by the suppressed ethylene production of intact fruits. 1-MCP treatment had a significant (p<0.05) effect on TA, malic acid content, volatile aroma concentration, TPC and TAA of juice samples from both apple cultivars. Generally, juice samples from 1-MCP treated apples had significantly (p<0.05) higher TA, malic acid content, TPC and TAA, but with reduced content of esters, aldehydes and total volatile aroma compounds. Improved acidity retention in 1-MCP treated ‘McIntosh’ was attributed to the downregulated MdcyME and upregulated MdcyPEPC genes, which regulate malic acid degradation and biosynthesis, respectively. Similarly, acidity retention in ‘Honeycrisp’ was associated with the upregulated V-ATPase and MdcyMDH genes that regulate the vacuolar transport and cytosolic malic acid biosynthesis, respectively. Fructose, glucose and sucrose were the major sugars in all juice samples tested. In contrast to acidity, the content and composition of these sugars were not influenced by 1-MCP treatment; instead, it was substantially influenced by storage time. During long-term fruit storage, the content of sucrose decreased with a corresponding accumulation of glucose, fructose and total sugar. Juice processing techniques had a significant (p<0.05) effect on the concentration of volatile aroma, TPC, TAA and juice colour. As compared to clear juices, cloudy juice samples had significantly (p<0.05) higher content of most volatiles, TPC and TAA as compared to clear juice counterpart. The cloudy juice prepared from both cultivars could able to meet the expected yellowish colour. Turbidity and cloud stability values obtained from late harvested ‘McIntosh’ fruit fulfilled the requirement of stable cloudy juice. However, ‘Honeycrisp’ apples were not suitable for the production of stable cloudy juice as the turbidity (<250 NTU) and cloud stability (<50%) values were much lower than the minimum requirement.

Alex and Ushi ready to be launched from the boat during the KB4 girls camp, Lake Garda 2013!
We had 6 girls for our KGB4 Girls camp 2013, (Ushi, Jo, Christiane, Alex, Sibylle and Inge) and great fun was had by everyone, whatever their level! From complete beginner to unhooked riding – we had a great mix this year and were able to split the girls into beginner and advanced groups. Jo made her first ever body drags in water, flying around the lake. She was having so much fun we had to catch her up and ask her to stop eventually – all we could hear all over the lake was her giggling!
In the beginning of the week, the wind was a bit light. After being very strong during the whole of August, it had a short break but we made up for it with some great wakeboarding sessions. The wakeboarding was really helpful, especially for the girls that were waterstarting and by the end of the week we got Inge and Sibylle to a stage where they were nicely independant – riding upwind, turning and even starting switch! During the rest of the week, the wind came back and the girls even did two sessions on 1 day!! Christiane made some great progress from last year and got riding and few times nicely on her board. Alex and Ushi were our most advanced riders. Alex made some great progress with her backrolls and also made some great jump transistions, also trying some unhooked riding. Ushi made some nice jumps and also super classy carve transisitons that will serve her well for any future downwinding!
In between all the kiting we also had some slackline action, with Ushi proving that she had the best balance 😉 and the girls had some Stand Up Paddle fun with our resident Italian, Hero (otherwise known as Enrico, our assistant instructor)!
We didn’t just have fun on the water either, the girls were a really lovely, funny crowd this year and the evenings, allthough not long as we were all wiped out by our time on the water, were highly entertaining. Best quote of the week has to go to ‘kitesurfer’ Jo and we definately had the best dinner time stories from Inge…( I never realised the educational value of youtube!?) One evening we snuck over on the boat and had dinner in Malcesine. Its a lovely town to explore and dinner from the Italian pirates was quite entertaining!
All in all it turned out to be a great week, despite a little evening rain for the girls camping and we look forward to another great girls camp next year!
The forcast also looks good for the near future! The next pro coaching weekend is on the 14th and 15th of september and it is still possible to book yourself a place on the boat.
The lower season is just the beginning of two other incredible kitecamps organised from the 22th of september until the 28th and The 20th of october until the 26th. Don’t miss this week!:) You can also combine the kiting with other incredible activities around the lake!
If there is no wind, try to SUP to the waterfall and enjoy the amazing view of the mountains around you!

First edition dated this 30th. Day of January, 2011.
The primary purpose of this petition is to attain 1 million signatures, from the citizens of Europe, out of 7 different European countries, to formulate the intent to unite all European Nations together under one State, for example, “The United States of Europe”: United Europe.
All the undersigned, citizens of Europe, want that the government define a specific date and time for the realization of a United Europe, as outlined and specified in Article1.
All European countries are asked to vote on this issue within the European Government.
Those countries who vote in favor of this petition can then be united together under one unified government: United Europe.
Those who do not vote (withhold their votes) or who vote against this petition would remain in the existing constellation of Europe without unification.
The above articles express the primary issues related to this petition, at this moment in time only. Enormous work is related to this effort which we are prepared to undergo with the help and enthusiasm of millions of Europeans. We want to be a representative and interactive part of the new Europe, participating in discussions and voting on critical issues that affect Europe and its citizens. We do not want a Europe that acts and reacts, passing legislation that affects millions of citizens in the interests of private concerns or interest groups.
We want is a responsible European Government, united as one Nation, which makes decisions with its people and for its people. If this is what you want, then we thank you for signing this petition.

circumstances may necessitate her doing so, but that she shall at her decease leave them intact for the use & benefit of my said son in law & his wife Jacob & Margaret Wolfe. And I hereby declare that it is my desire & intention that my Wife shall live in unison with my son in law Jacob & his Wife Margaret Wolfe, and my said son in law Jacob Wolfe & his wife Margaret Wolfe shall as agreed with me & in consideration of the use of the means hereby bequeathed maintain & cherish my said Wife in a befitting manner, as if she was their own Mother², & leaving her in addition to her maintenance, a Weekly sum of Ten shillings for her own private purposes. And I hereby declare that I leave nothing to my daughter Sarah Perdue², or her heirs, I hereby declare that it is my desire that my remains shall be interred in the Cork new Wilton Cemetery in a suitable place & that the expenses of my funeral shall be paid out of the money belonging to the firm, And I also Will that my son Samuel Williamson & my daughter Rebecca Ann Williamson², now inmates of the Cork Lunatic Asylum, shall in the event of their decease, be provided with a decent burial, at the joint expense of my son in law Jacob Wolfe & my Wife Elizabeth Williamson. I appoint my brother William R Williamson³ of Worcester, England, & my friend Josh. D. Reddin of North Main St Cork jointly and severally Executors of this my last Will & testament. Dated this 10th day of January 1872. Samuel Williamson.
I hereby leave & bequeath to my son in law Jacob Wolfe, the lease of the premises 31 & 32 Lavitts Quay in the City of Cork, but my Wife Elizabeth Williamson shall be allowed as heretofore the entire use during her lifetime of the apartments now Occupied by us. My son in law Jacob Wolfe shall pay Rent and all Rates & Taxes due from time to time upon the said premises.
Should my said son in Law Jacob Wolfe at any future time give up the premises 31 & 32 Lavitts Quay in the City of Cork & remain elsewhere during the lifetime of my Wife, then my Wife shall be provided by my said son in law with suitable accommodation in whatever house or houses he may reside in, in accordance with article 4.
This Codicil is in addition to the former bequests.
Henry Farman 22 Shandon St Cork.
Reddin Executors who have duly renounced Probate and Execution of said will – that there is no residuary Legatee named therein and Be it further Known, that on the 18th day of June 1872, Letters of administration (with the said will and codicil annexed) of all and singular the personal estate and effects of the said deceased, were granted by Her Majesty’s Court of Probate to Elizabeth Williamson also of same place, Widow, the lawful widow of deceased and a Legatee named in said will she having previously been sworn well and faithfully to administer the same according to the tenor of the said will to pay the just debts of the said deceased, and to exhibit a true and proper inventory of all and singular the said personal estate and effects and to tender a just and true account thereof whence required by law so to do.
It would seem that Samuel Williamson (in partnership with his son in law) had fairly extensive premises in an area that was possibly “on the up”. The will makes no reference to another premises, so we have to assume that Lavitts Quay was a manufacturing as well as a possible retail building.
There is a possibility that cannot yet be excluded that this phrase was not just a reference to Jacob Wolfe (his son in law) but also to Margaret Wolfe (his daughter) – in which case Margaret might be a daughter by a relationship prior to Samuel’s marriage to Elizabeth.
Margaret and Jacob were married in 1870 when Samuel was 43 and had been married to Elizabeth for 19 years (since 1851). It is possible but by no means certain that Margaret was Elizabeth’s child.
His daughter Sarah Perdue was married to James in October 1857, six years after her father’s marriage to Elizabeth. If she was Elizabeth’s daughter (by Samuel) there must have been some reason preventing her parents’ marriage – possibly William was already married? However, it is far more likely that she was his daughter by a currently unknown previous wife.
In might seem strange however that Samuel should require his widow to jointly fund the funerals of his two children in the Cork Lunatic Asylum (Samuel and Rebecca) if they were not hers.
The first reference to “William R Williamson” is presumed to be a miss-transcription in the register as shown by the later reference to William B Williamson.
The reference to “my brother William R Williamson of Worcester, England”, is the phrase I was hoping to find – this must be my great great grandfather, William Blizard Williamson, Tinplate manufacturer of Worcester in England.
Samuel’s marriage record (see post: William Williamson of Cork) records his father as Thomas Williamson – my great great great grandfather.
This will and codicil both written a few days before Samuel’s death is surprisingly harsh in respect of many of his children (leaving them nothing) and even with his favoured daughter, Margaret (and her husband Jacob Wolfe), it is possibly onerous in requiring them to accommodate and look after his wife (rather that providing sufficient to allow her to support herself independently). Perhaps he would not entrust the welfare of a possibly frail wife to anyone else? However his widow was not so frail that she could not successfully apply for and obtain letters of administration.

Our Cast Shadow dress is inspired by our bestselling Rocambole Dress but with a looser fit that skims the body and feels really relaxed and easy to wear. The simple silhouette makes the most of the uniquely crafted fabric. Woven from lightweight cotton, it has an elegant drape and soft natural texture. The statement yarn-dyed check pattern varies slightly in placement and colour, making this a truly individual piece. It is fully lined in cotton chambray and finished with a scoop neck, short sleeves and large, wrap-around patch pockets.
Really nice dress which can be dressed up or worn casually. Good quality - large fit normally size 10/12 fit into size 8 comfortably. Looking forward to wearing it .
Thank you for your review of the Cast Shadow Dress but I'm sorry to hear that the fit wasn't perfect for you this time. Some of our garments are deliberately designed to be oversized. We'll detail this next to the product and we'd generally recommend ordering your usual size, the garment should fit and drape beautifully.
Do take a look at our new dress collection, if you like this style, do have a look at the Boscubben Dress, it might be just perfect!
This dress is loose fitting and comfortable for warmer days. Flattering and cool ; a simple, unfussy style with big pockets ( hooray!) that can be accessorised up for work / going out as needed.
Beautiful fabric/design & colour but huge!
I absolutely adore this dress, so understated. Really comfortable to wear. I bought it by mailorder but my usual size 12 was far too big so had to be returned. I bought the dress in a smaller size at my local stockist who very kindly pricematched.
Thanks for your review of the Cast Shadow Dress; sorry it wasn’t perfect for you on this occasion, and you were able to take advantage of our no quibble return policy.
Was so looking forward to this dress arriving. I had gone up a size to make sure it was not too tight around the hips, but it was just massive in the shoulder/top area. I will go to a shop and try the smaller size, but am nit hopeful the fit will improve. Sadly have returned it.

They’re meant to be running a country, but the life of anyone in politics is a curse. They lie, cheat and don’t do what they’re meant to. So, we’re going to get real for a change. We’re going to talk about politics the way the news won’t.
The world’s political game is all about the money and not about the people. We’re not going to hold back with the topics we’re about to talk about. We’ll recognise the good pollies and rat out the bad ones and the ones who are in it for the cash.
While most politicians are in it for the money and empty promises, there are those who want to do the right thing and help people. Those are the ones we’ll talk about. However, we’re going to come down hard and take take sides.
She’s the Prime Minister that’s making every country jealous. Jacinda Ardern is a leader who doesn’t dabble in corruption or belittlement. She does what’s right for her country. New Zealand is lucky to have her.


text: It may seem that something like health care is well out of bounds of a Christian apologetics ministry but it is not true. The divorce made between faith and politics, often made by Christians themselves, is usually wrong headed. That is not to say that I advocate a ‘theocracy.’ It is to say that there is a clear connection between beliefs and actions, and ideologies and consequences. The current health care debate illustrates this very well in that a person’s preferred solution often depends on one’s overall ideology.

The first Diversability Dinner was held at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton on Thursday, and after about 15 minutes it was difficult to tell the able-bodied students from the disabled students.
The pasta party, organized by FAU's Office for Students with Disabilities and the Owls Supporting Diversity Club, was the third of four events planned by FAU for Disability Awareness Month.
They also included wheelchair basketball against Lynn University and a game of "goalball," or soccer, for the visually impaired. The final event will be a showing of the film"Soul Surfer," about a girl who becomes disabled. An audience discussion will follow the movie.
FAU learning specialist Jill Brondolo, accompanied by her service dog, Lucy, was a guest speaker at the dinner.
"It's kind of a fun way for people to get to experience what a physical disability would be like," she said. "It just creates a comfortable setting for them to ask questions and walk away with more of a sensitivity toward disabilities."
Curious, sympathetic and supportive students navigated the Grand Palm Room in the Student Union blindfolded, wearing arm-slings and in wheelchairs to get a feel for what the disabled have to cope with.
Student government senator Jad Khazen, wearing dark goggles, was getting guidance from Ahmad Hijazi in a wheelchair. Both took part in the wheelchair basketball and goalball games.
"Actually going through this makes you develop a sense of empathy which I think is deep and profound," Khazen said.
Stephanie Hammerman, who gets around in a wheelchair, created and ran the disability awareness program at Lynn University in Boca Raton for the past three years and she pitched the idea to FAU.
"I thought a cool way to do it, I guess, was nicely force people to experience what it's like to be disabled for an evening," she said. "You can't force people to be open-minded but you can give them the opportunity."
Up to 100 people were expected to attend with able-bodied and disabled students sharing a meal and their perspectives.
"Each person has their own strengths and abilities," Brondolo said. "It's not a disability as far as what people can't do. It's more about how they can do it and learn different ways to compensate and draw out what their individual strengths are."
Ann Marie Bedard earned her bachelor's degree in social work in May and has the sprawling campus memorized.
"I don't think of myself as being legally blind or having a disability," Bedard said. "I think more about what I can do for others. How can I help others when I have the challenges I have?"
There are 700 students registered with FAU's Office for Students with Disabilities, according to director Nicole Rokos.
"They attend class like everybody else, but they just need some additional services sometimes," she said. "A note-taker, extra time to take exams; a sign language interpreter and making professors aware of the student's differences and how to provide them their tests in an appropriate format."

"Be careful. Arrogance can topple giants."
The Conflict Between Mata Nui and Tuma was an arena-style combat match to determine the freedom of Kiina and Berix.
Defeat Tuma to free Kiina and Berix.
Defeat Mata Nui and maintain superiority over the Rock Tribe.
After being ambushed and captured by Bone Hunters in the Hot Springs of Tesara, Berix and Kiina were brought to Roxtus where they were imprisoned in one of the hanging cages. They discussed their futures pessimistically, until they noticed Mata Nui walking towards Roxtus.
As Mata Nui approached the Arena Roxtus, he was confronted by the leader of the Skrall, Tuma, who stood in the middle of the arena blocking Mata Nui's progress and challenged the newcomer. Mata Nui replied that he wished to engage Tuma on a one-on-one duel; if he won, his friends would be released. To avoid the shame of refusing the challenge, Tuma accepted.
Tuma attacked first, managing to quickly force Mata Nui to the ground. He gloated while Mata Nui recovered, then knocked his enemy to the ground again shortly afterwards.
Mata Nui began to drive Tuma backwards, striking the Skrall leader's injury a second time in the process. However, Tuma managed to disarm Mata Nui of his sword, and launch a finishing blow. Mata Nui was able to leap over the blow, land behind Tuma, and deliver one last blow with his elbow to the warrior's injury. Tuma, exhausted, reeling,[TLR] and already weakened by the previous blows, fell to the ground unconscious. Mata Nui then took Tuma's shield in victory, and demanded that his friends be released.
Metus stepped forward, revealing himself to be the traitor and ordered Mata Nui to drop his weapons. He then explained the role he had played in the alliance between the Rock Tribe and the Bone Hunters. Metus signalled for the surrounding forces to attack, but before they could launch their assault, a massive creature composed of Scarabax Beetles arose from the sands. The Skrall believed it to be a Baterra attack and panicked, fleeing the arena. In the chaos, Mata Nui rushed to free Kiina and Berix, but he was stopped by two elite Skrall. Thinking quickly, he grabbed Tuma's shield and threw it. The shield flew upwards, slicing the chain holding up the cage and causing it to crash to the ground. The elite Skrall dodged the falling cage, which broke open, freeing Kiina and Berix.
Soon afterwards, the other Glatorian and a group of Agori appeared, armed and ready to fight. Mata Nui gave Berix a Skrall Saw Blade Shield, and he, Kiina, and Berix leaped into battle.

David Allred’s pen was a Kickstarter first for me. While the majority of Kickstarter projects come in weeks or even months later than originally projected, David’s pen arrived EARLY…significantly early. Though I wasn’t expecting to receive my pen until January 2013, it surprisingly arrived on November 23rd, 2012. Wow!
Though David’s Kickstarter project has closed, you can read about his pens here. In short, he can create pens with a variety of exotic wood (desert iron wood, padauk, purple heart, cocobolo, goldfield burl, etc.) and metal components. The hardest part is picking a wood/metal combination because there are so many intriguing options. All pens are twist-style and take Parker-style refills.
After much hemming and hawing, I chose Zebra wood and the black metal trim. (David calls this “gunmetal,” which is different than my idea of gunmetal, but I settled on this choice after a few back-and-forth emails with him to clarify the various color options.) The pen is hefty, but not unwieldy, and is very well-balanced. It arrived with a Parker-style ballpoint refill, which wasn’t bad, but I recently swapped in a Moleskine rollerball 0.5mm refill, which, I think, elevates the pen yet another notch.
You can see a sample of the wood/metal combinations available on David’s Kickstarter page. And though, as I’ve said, his project is now closed, I encourage you to contact David if you’re interested in getting your own “exotic wood” pen.
I can personally attest to his impressive workmanship and work ethic.

If you’re following me on Instagram (and please do!) you might have seen this picture of the Christmas cookie bake-a-thon that happens at my house every year when my Mom comes home for the holidays. God love her, she’s truly the best baker I know and her cookies are the very best in the universe. No lie. Sadly we ate the last Christmas cookie over New Year’s weekend an in effort to eat our way through the pile of sugar and carbs that had become our basic meal plan and prep ourselves to start this year on a healthy foot.
I lasted like 4 days and I’m making cookies again. There’s another Monday coming right up, so we can try again then. In the meantime, I’m planning ahead to Valentine’s Day and since I couldn’t get enough of Mom’s Peanut Butter Blossoms, I’ve been toying with the idea of a twist on them and came up with a winner this morning!
This Red Velvet Peanut Butter Blossoms Recipe is my Mom’s recipe for Peanut Butter Blossoms with the addition of cocoa and red food coloring to red velvet them up for a fun Valentine’s Day theme.
The key here is to keep your dough balls small. “You’re getting them kinda big,” is a momism at cookie baking time. They really don’t spread and if you get them too big, when you push the Hershey Kiss (or Hug – I used Hugs for these) down into the freshly baked cookie it will crack in pieces. Also you want to be able to shove them in one bite. Keep ’em small.
As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, press the Hugs down into them and remove them from the baking sheet to a cooling rack. I put a note in the recipe that if you use the white chocolate Hugs like I did, freeze them first or else you are likely to have a puddle of chocolate on top of your cookie instead of a kiss shape.
Here's a fun twist in a classic! These Red Velvet Peanut Butter Blossoms Recipe are perfect for a Valentine's Day dessert or class party treat.
Unwrap your Hershey Hugs and put them in a bowl in the freezer. See note!
Using a mixer, beat together the butter, brown sugar, sugar, and peanut butter.
Add egg, vanilla, and red food coloring. Mix until combined.
Add all dry ingredients to a separate bowl and stir with a fork to combine.
Add dry ingredients to mixer and mix until dough forms.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls and roll in sugar. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 8 minutes.
Remove from oven and immediately top centers with Hershey Hugs. Press down to get them in there firmly. The cookie will crack along the edges - that's okay!
You can eat them warm because the melty chocolate is delicious! Just wait for those Hugs to harden again before you store them. You can speed that process up by putting them in the freezer.
You can use chocolate Hershey Kisses with this recipe, too. I used Hugs which have white chocolate in them. It always seems to melt faster when placed on a hot cookie, so if you're using Hugs, freeze them first. Peel them, put them in a bowl, and throw them in the freezer while you're whipping up the cookie dough. They won't melt on top of your hot cookies this way!
If you want a brighter red color, try using the gel food coloring (start with a little bit and add if needed – it doesn’t take much).
Yum! Enjoy them and Happy Valentine’s Day!
Want more cookie recipes? These Raspberry Jelly Thumbprints are one of my favorites (also from my Mom!) and perfect for the holidays!

We have all encountered an individual who – despite everything positive around them – insists on focusing on the negative. These people can make day to day life more stressful than it needs to be, particularly if it is in the workplace.
Most people who are exhibiting negative or irrational behaviour feel they have been done wrong by. Once they feel their emotions have been acknowledged, they can move past complaining and onto problem-solving. Listen to what they are saying, repeat back to them what they have told you and ask them questions about how to move forward.
Negative people are often very emotive. They focus on how a situation makes them feel and consider how a situation affects them personally. Avoid engaging in emotion-based interactions in the workplace; always come back to the facts.
Everyone has a personal life, and everyone responds to situations differently. If you have not done anything to warrant an unkind interaction with a co-worker or client, chances are their negativity does not have anything to do with you.
Never underestimate the power of a good night’s sleep; it helps with productivity and dealing with stress. It can mean the difference between falling into a negative interaction in the workplace or brushing it off.
If you are continually dealing with a difficult coworker or client, it can begin to wear you down. If this is the case, creating distance and limiting interactions with them is necessary to maintain your productivity. Allocate time in your week to deal with them where needed and avoid interactions outside of this designated time.

DJ Khaled and boxer Floyd Mayweather will pay big fines to the government for the way they promoted initial coin offerings.
Miguel Gutierrez Jr / KUT Austin.
Bennu Coffee is one of four locations in Austin that is home to Bitcoin ATMs.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed charges last week against hip hop producer DJ Khaled and boxer Floyd Mayweather. The two have settled with the government over claims they encouraged fans to invest in initial coin offerings without disclosing that they were being paid to do so. It’s the first case of its kind, and just the latest blow for the once high-flying cryptocurrency market. Tech maven Omar Gallaga says BitCoin’s rapid rise in value last year got a lot of potential investors excited about all kinds of cryptocurrency offerings. But now, prices are way down, and regulators are looking out for scams. And questions about to regulate corn offerings are growing.
“Are these securities? Can you call them securities, and if so, are they regulated by those same rules that wold apply to stocks?” Gallaga says.
