Not much is known to the cricketing fans across the globe about this swashbuckling Indian opener, Smriti Mandhana. She had a crucial role in India’s four consecutive victories in the ongoing women’s world cup in England. This 20-year old Indian opener is making all the heads turn as she gets to bat. Its been four years since her debut against Bangladesh in 2013 and had even played a couple of test matches.
Ever since she hit the century against West Indies in the ongoing Women’s World Cup, apart from a well-made 90 against hosts England, she, in fact, has evolved as the ‘national crush of India’.
Cricket in her blood: Did you know Smriti Mandhana has cricket running in her blood, yes you heard it right. Smriti’s father and her brother represented Maharashtra in U-16 tournaments and also played district level cricket.
Record To Envy: She is the only Indian batswoman to have scored an international double hundred in One-Day Internationals (ODI’s). Smriti scored an unbeaten 224 off 150 balls in the West Indies Zone U-19 tournament. She may have done it at a junior level but what does she have to do if she is young.
The Foreign League: She happens to be one of the two Indian players to get a contract with the iconic Australian Big Bash League. She represents the Brisbane Heat. Harmanpreet Kaur is the other Indian.
Feat: Smriti was the only Indian player to be named in the ICC Woman’s Team of the year 2016. Now, that is a big feat.
Early Rise: She was selected to play for Maharashtra U-19 at the age of just 11. She also happens to be the youngest Indian to score a hundred in senior level cricket. She scored that hundred in Australia at the age of 16, she scored 102 off 109 balls in a losing cause.

ATLANTA, GA – A mixed crowd of approximately 30 patrons at “Fat Tony’s Rhythm & Q’s” was severely bummed out Thursday night after a music performance by a Caucasian Fort Lauderdale “Blues” band, Jimmy T and the Parrotheads.
By their fifth song, Jimmy T and the Parrotheads had mostly emptied the popular Morningside BBQ establishment that normally seats 55. Fat Tony’s Manager Hank Roundtree approached the band and offered to still pay them their full fee if they would stop playing, but the band allegedly declined because they were “really feelin’ it” that night.

GPS is great invention, especially for someone like me who is directionally challenged. Most of the time I can get to new places without getting lost. When going somewhere new I used to allow an extra hour just for getting lost. My favorite feature of GPS is the list format that details every step of my trip in advance. I like knowing what to expect and what is coming up.
Of course then there are times when GPS doesn’t work so well. My GPS seems to have a knack for finding the most inopportune times to stop working. We had one those “adventures” on a recent road trip. We were trying to bypass traffic on the major highway and save sometime. The map feature was sort of working so we had a general idea where to go. We knew the town we were headed to so we were able to follow the road signs to that town. We were able to get there by following the signs. We just didn’t have all the details in advance.
As we were driving, I realized that following God s more like “old-school navigation” than GPS. When he calls us to follow him, he doesn’t necessarily map everything out. He gives us direction for each step and sometimes a little more. He does provide navigational tools (Bible, prayer, church) but I have to choose to use them. So many times I just want to get from point A to point B without taking time to learn something or even enjoy the journey.

A retired head teacher from Dolgellau celebrated her graduation success at Bangor University recently. After spending a lifetime in education where her mother, father, sister and husband were teachers, Gabrielle Wilkinson has spent the last 8 years on the Lifelong Learning Fine Art programme, culminating in a BA (hons) Fine Art.
Gabrielle worked as a primary school head teacher before becoming a primary inspector for Bedfordshire Council until she took early retirement at 60. During the next 5 years she freelanced as an Educational Consultant and also worked for OFSTED as an Inspector.
At 65 Gabrielle and her husband moved to Wales, where she saw an advert for Lifelong Learning’s Fine Art Challenge. This modular course was aimed at people who have some experience but little or no formal art qualification, or as refresher course for who have not practised art for some time. Gabrielle always wanted to ‘do’ art but was encouraged to follow an academic route.
Now Gabrielle has developed an appetite for learning, she intends to carry on with her painting and enjoying the endless challenges that life throws at her.

(Bloomberg) – South Africa must change its constitution to allow the seizure of land for redistribution to black people without compensation because the country’s laws are hindering the transformation of the economy more than two decades after the end of apartheid, the minister for small business development said.
President Jacob Zuma has “decided enough is enough” and the ruling African National Congress will now accelerate distributing the nation’s wealth more equally between the black majority and the more affluent white minority, Minister Lindiwe Zulu said in an interview at the World Economic Forum on Africa in Durban, South Africa, on Wednesday.
President Jacob Zuma introduces Minister Lindiwe Zulu and the South Africa delegation to Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani.
Zuma has stepped up calls for so-called radical economic transformation and suggested that the constitution be changed to allow the seizure of land without compensation. He has come under pressure as economic growth stagnates and calls for his resignation from the opposition, civil society and senior officials in his own party have grown following a series of scandals and an unpopular cabinet reshuffle. In March, the ruling party contradicted him, saying it was committed to paying fair compensation for land.
Black South Africans were dispossessed of their land during more than three centuries of white-minority rule and the bulk of profitable farms and estates are currently owned by the smaller group.
Lindiwe Zulu went to preach radical economic transformation in Free State. She says it's to help black ppl. I guess BEE and BBBEE failed.
While Zuma is due to step down as leader of the ANC in December, his successor will pursue similar policies because the “ANC is not an individual,” she said. Still, redistribution must be “orderly” and the land should be used for agriculture and housing.
Jeff Radebe, a minister in the presidency and the ANC’s policy chief, said while land redistribution had been too slow, land grabs weren’t being considered at this stage.
Radebe also said the government and ruling party were also working to restore the country’s investment-grade credit rating, which was cut to junk by S&P Global Ratings and Fitch Ratings Ltd. after Zuma fired Pravin Gordhan as his finance minister.
Those comments echoed the views of Zulu.

The co-founders of Protect Their Memories, Scott Weinberg and Coleton Hanson, contemplated the digital afterlife of a deceased person.Protect Their Memories deletes the social media accounts of the deceased, on request by their families, estates, and employers.It is a new business service, so challenges faced was partly spreading marketing awareness and partly working on the structures of the business model.
Dormant social media accounts are sought by internet ‘trolls’ for identity theft purposes. “We believe that families and loved ones may simply wish to remove public information of someone close ,who has passed on”. Most people do not share their account passwords, making account deletion difficult, and possible only via proper documentation.
It prevents the identity theft of dormant social media accounts. These accounts get hacked or spoofed frequently, and when the owner is alive, that will be eventually detected. However, If the owner is deceased, by the time it’s noticed, the damage has been done.
Absolutely No Competitors for the New Idea.
It is unique in USA. The only services somewhat similar are proactive measures i.e., conducted while you are alive. These essentially involve the storing of passwords by a 3rd party. Our service is deliberately reactive, when plans for the digital assets were not made in advance. Essentially, passwords are unavailable.
The idea is definitely ahead of time, however looking at demographics and lifespan is the next move.
Steady organic growth and excellent word of mouth from funeral directors.
Make sure you protect the memories of your loved one as they would do the same.

Here the gist of the argument: the iPhone powerfully demonstrates how user innovation can be fostered by open markets and market-based mechanism. By combining programming tools, application platform and distribution channel, Apple has created an environment that effectively supports user innovation networks in the sense of von Hippel*, in which innovation development, production, distribution and consumption are performed by users (or more precisely by user/developers and micro software firms). The user innovation network supported by the iPhone ecosystem is horizontal, where innovation – in the form of iPhone apps – is created by and for users. In contrast to von Hippel’s original notion, which refers to open-source development and the ability to replicate and adapt a product, the iPhone innovation network does not compel users to make their innovations openly accessible to other users. Instead, transfer of innovation among users is facilitated by a two-sided market (realized by the App Store), with user/developers on the one side and users-only on the other.
However unlike the iPhone ecosystem, the Internet of Things cannot be confined to a single device platform and a unified distribution channel. Instead, the IoT ecosystem will necessarily consist of a heterogeneous collection of hardware, software and data components. This greatly complicates user innovation as it introduces dependencies and compatibility issues, which make it harder to share and reuse artifacts. Thus in order to foster user led innovation in the IoT space I argue for a connected set of marketplaces, each one addressing a particular innovation touchpoint. I define marketplaces as connected if products of one marketplace can be used to enhance, control or interact with products of another marketplace.
The details of these marketplaces are described in a recent paper: Gerd Kortuem and Fahim Kawsar. Market-based User Innovation for the Internet of Things. Internet of Things 2010 Conference (IoT-2010) Nov 29 - Dec 1, Tokyo, Japan.
A corresponding presentation is available on slideshare or as pdf. Connected marketplaces create an open ecosystem that supports innovation and diffusion across multiple levels of complexity. An innovator can use lower-level marketplace to acquire devices and tools to build something more complex and use higher-level marketplace to share (or sell) his/her creations with others, who in turn can use them as a starting point their for their own innovations. This mechanism not only supports an innovation chain from low complexity to high complexity, it also allows for a distribution of ownership and control of marketplaces.

A device capable of discerning truthful information in a living human brain.
"...I might have made more progress with my prisoner were my Psychic Probe in proper order."
The secretary's eyebrows lifted. "You have a Probe?"
"An old one. A superannuated one which fails me the one time I needed it. I set it up during the prisoner's sleep, and received nothing. So much for the Probe. I have tried it on my own men and the reaction is quite proper, but again there is not one among my staff of tech-men who can tell me why it fails upon the prisoner. Ducem Barr, who is a theoretician of parts, though no mechanic, says the psychic structure of the prisoner may be unaffected by the Probe since from childhood he has been subjected to alien environments and neural stimuli.

I think that this device is different from a machine that determines whether spoken statements are true or false.

We have seen the value in providing scholarships to highly motivated web development students over the course of our tenure. The first official scholarship we offered was in late 2016, where we awarded 50% of tuition costs to mission-driven individuals with a positive impact on their community. Since then we have offered many partial scholarships based on merit and need, and one full Diversity Scholarship.
On the tails of our first scholarship, we wanted to honor future women developers alongside Women’s History Month. In March of 2017 we awarded partial scholarships to all women who were accepted to our third cohort. We were thrilled with the results of this scholarship initiative, as it resulted in a classroom comprised of 60% innovative and brilliant women.
Our 6th cohort begins February 19, 2018 - running straight through Women’s History Month in March. We didn’t need to think twice about wanting to offer another round of scholarships in 2018. We will be awarding a $3,000 scholarship to each of the first 8 women who are accepted to and enroll in our February 2018 course.
“Pay later” models often result in students paying much higher tuition costs for a similar length program, so that the bootcamp can build a safety net around its finances. For example, if you are committed to paying a bootcamp 28% of your first-year salary as tuition after landing a job, and your starting salary is $95,000 (a very common starting package in San Francisco!), you will end up paying tuition of $26,600 within your first year of work.
If paying up front is truly not an option for you, Rithm School also has an excellent partnership with Skills Fund. Rather than handing over a sizable chunk of your salary in the first year on the job, Skills Fund loans are repaid on 36 or 60-month terms, allowing you to net more of your paycheck when it matters most.
We believe that a mix of diversity and merit-based scholarships, combined with realistic lending options and our job placement guarantee, creates a much fairer experience for students from a variety of financial backgrounds. This ethos allow Rithm the flexibility to support students who need an extra hand while never sacrificing the quality and integrity of our program.
Do you or someone you know deserve a shot at one of these partial scholarships? Apply now for our February 19th class and set up a time to chat with our Admissions Manager, Angelina, to discuss all your options. We look forward to meeting you!

A transportation funding model continues to move ahead at the North Carolina statehouse. The plan does not include raising or imposing new taxes.
The Senate Transportation Committee voted to advance Gov. Pat McCrory’s 10-year, $16 billion funding model that calls for putting available resources to the state’s greatest transportation priorities. Specifically, HB817 would set up three tiers of projects.
House lawmakers already approved the bill on a 102-15 vote.
North Carolina law now requires all available funding to be divided evenly between the state’s 14 Department of Transportation divisions.
The governor’s plan puts greater emphasis on ranking formulas that will be developed later. Statewide proposals would get 40 percent of funds, or $6.4 billion. Regional proposals and the state’s DOT divisions would share the other 60 percent, or $9.6 billion.
Supporters say the funding model takes political weight out of transportation decisions.
McCrory recently said his strategic mobility formula would better allow data-driven decisions about which project priorities advance.
Critics say they are concerned that the new formula would result in fewer projects done in rural areas.
The bill is awaiting further consideration in the Senate Finance Committee. If approved, it would move to the Senate Appropriations Committee before it could come up for Senate floor discussion.

I have been experiencing these same issues. Today I spent over an hour to upload 12 pictures.
I am also seeing issues with pictures not showing consistantly in all of the various places they are available (in household, photos, leadership, membership info, LDS Tools-household, individual, leadership).
Wonderful resource! Hope this info helps.

The pictures most likely are there but just not being displayed. I had a household submit pictures for the household, the head of household, and spouse. The thumbnails showed the household picture and the spouse's picture but the head of household's picture was the x placeholder. After trying several methods to get the picture to display it just showed up after navigating to another household, back, and doubleclicking the placeholder just as I would do a thumbnail to get the full size picture to display. I don't know that anything I did was the fix. It just appeared.

I don't know that anything I did was the fix. It just appeared.
I've had this happen to me also when reviewing "New Photos" to be approved. I read through some online help and somewhere I read that the pictures uploaded by members are viewable immediately only for that member. So, I went to the member's "Edit Profile" link, and there I could see a thumbnail photo. Under "Edit Profile", I clicked on the thumbnail which presented the normal sized photo. With the image at this screen, I right-clicked and did a Save-As to save a local copy. In "Edit Profile", I clicked "Choose File" and selected the recently saved photo. After upload, the photo correctly showed in "New Photos" and I approved it. The photo then showed up in the directory.
If you had to do this on all photos then this work-around wouldn't be very nice but for the off-one cases, it's not too bad.
I confirmed with my Bishop last night - he uploaded a photo sometime last month but when I look it just shows the placeholder in the "Manage Photos" page. I opened his profile and there is an "X" box next to his photo placeholder (like a picture is there) but the photo placeholder is blank - there is no thumbnail - only the generic placeholder.
Other than advising him to upload his photo again, are there any other suggestions?
I think it is a programming bug. The same individual's photo that I posted about above does not appear when I go to the Manage Photos page; only the x placeholder is displayed. But when I go to the household page the thumbnail is there; and when I double click the thumbnail the large photo appears as it should. But when I go back to Manage Photos it is still not there and only the x placeholder is there.
I think I may have a different problem. In the Manage Photos page, the x placeholder is displayed. In all other pages, including the household page, nothing is displayed (just the "generic person" outline when nothing has been uploaded). Is it possible he may have used a photo format that is incompatible with the web page?
I'll ask the Bishop to check and see if he can see his photo anywhere and if not, re-upload it.
I'm a website admin. Is it possible that there is a 2 way approval process. I have 2 pictures that are only visible as a thumbnail. Do the members need to approve pictures that a leader puts up before it's visible in the larger format? I'll try to upload the pictures in a smaller size.

Approvers can post pictures which become immediately available for viewing. All others can only submit the photos for approval by an approver before being available to others.
The optimum photo size for a large image is 500 pixels wide by 375 pixels tall.
I have run into this same thing. I'm surprised this bug is still around 5 months after your post. In order to learn people's names, our new stake president has asked us to update our pictures in our ward since they are about 6 years old. We have people uploading pictures and then some show up as blank (x) in the approval page. I've tried waiting 24 hours to see if they show up, but they never do. I then have to ask the member to upload their picture again or just email it to me and I upload it. One member said they did receive an upload error on one picture.
Another bug.... This same family also uploaded a couple of individual pictures for the individual family members. I approved two of them (they showed up on the approval page) and they still don't show up in the directory.

Parents who send their children to Lewis and Clark Montessori Charter School worry every day as cars blitz past during the morning commute.
During drop-offs and pick-ups at the school along Southeast 232nd Drive just south of the Clackamas-Boring Highway, the situation becomes dangerous. Because of a small parking lot, parents waiting in the queue of cars often stretch into the roadway as they wait their turn.
That results in drivers who are cruising along 232nd, notorious for its hills and blind spots, being surprised by the queue of stationary, children-filled cars. That combination, in addition to the lack of any obvious signage warning about the school traffic, often results in accidents, such as the pair that occurred Wednesday morning, Sept. 26.
"We have been concerned about this situation for years," said Marion Freet, who is a parent at the school. "This was the first bad accident of the school year, but it won't be the last."
The crash happened a little after 8 a.m. during the normal crush of drop-off traffic. As the line stretched to the edge of the road, a minivan stuffed with four kids was turning left into the parking lot. At the same time, a teenage girl came over the hill in an old pickup truck driving at normal speeds heading north. Because of the blind spot, she couldn't see the van until it was too late, and her truck plowed head-on into the car.
"She was hurt pretty severely and had to be airlifted to (Oregon Health & Science University)," said Lewis and Clark Executive Director Courtney McWilliams. "Our families were all pretty shaken up."
The family involved in the crash didn't suffer any major injuries, the school said, though it was terrifying for all involved.
After the accident, teachers and parents jumped in to help direct traffic and get the students away from the wreck. One teacher who was on traffic duty during the accident said the teen was in immense pain and was calling out while being readied for Life Flight. Many parents said there was a lot of blood.
According to McWilliams, it took Clackamas County Sheriff deputies about 30 minutes to arrive on scene. Once they got there, they blocked the roadway with a police cruiser to keep people away as they cleared the wreckage. That led to a second accident. A motorcyclist didn't see the parked police car and hit it as the rider came over the hill. According to the sheriff's office, it was not a fatal crash.
"A lot of our students saw the accidents, it was pretty traumatic for them," McWilliams said.
Lewis and Clark brought in counselors the next morning to make sure the staff and students who saw everything were doing OK. The almost 400 students who attend Lewis and Clark range in age from 3 to 15.
"We have begged the county and Gresham-Barlow School District to put a light in or something," McWilliams said.
The normal speed limit along 232nd is 45 mph, and even during school days there is only a suggested slowdown. Yellow warning signs, put in place about a year ago, caution drivers of the upcoming school about a quarter mile up the road in either direction, though the writing is in a small font indicating a 35 mph speed when children are present. Parents say it's not enough.
The situation in front of Lewis and Clark differs from other school zones, where flashing lights drop the speeds to 20 mph for which there is heavy enforcement.
"We need to have some sort of notifications on both sides of the road as people are approaching the school," McWilliams said. "Speed is a huge factor, and what we have right now isn't enough."
During pickup in the afternoon at Lewis and Clark, a large queue of cars forms all the way up to the edge of the roadway almost half an hour before the children are released. The school estimates that almost 90 percent of the student body are driven to school by parents or guardians, as the students come from a wide spread of districts. There are no sidewalks leading up to the school either, so walking is only an option for the bolder souls.
At Lewis and Clark, teachers and parents are doing everything they can to keep their children safe. There are two plastic safety figures with orange caution flags marking the entrance to Lewis and Clark, and the educators moonlight as crossing guards and flaggers to keep things moving.
The Gresham-Barlow School District, which oversees the school and rents the building to them, said it would be Clackamas County that has the power to change the signage around the school. The district said while it can't directly change things, it shares Lewis and Clark's desire to make things safer.
"We fully support Lewis and Clark's efforts to get new signage on the road outside the school," said Athena Vadnais, director of community relations. "We are willing to attend meetings with the county or write letters of support — whatever it takes to protect the students."
Until those meetings happen, and the changes can be made, parents said accidents will remain inevitable.
"We all just want our kids to be safe," Freet said.

So let us discuss one potential solution to making our commuting life’s easier and less stressful.

WASHINGTON — A Senate panel has approved an aviation policy bill Wednesday after a partisan fight over whether airlines are unfairly gouging consumers with fees for basic services like checked bags, seat assignments and ticket changes.
The Senate commerce committee approved by a voice vote a bill to continue the Federal Aviation Administration’s authority to operate through Oct. 1, 2017. That authority is currently due to expire on March 31.
The committee’s Democrats led by Sen. Edward Markey, D-Mass., tried to add a provision to the bill to prohibit airlines from setting unreasonable fee prices and direct the Department of Transportation to establish what is reasonable. The amendment failed on a tie, party-line vote.
Consumers are being “gouged” by excessive fees, but they don’t have any choice but to pay them if they want to get to their destination, Markey said.
The problem is especially problem severe in rural communities served by only a single airline, Democrats said.
“When there is no competition, there is bad behavior,” said Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo.
Republicans said the provision would be burdensome for airlines and market forces should be allowed to determine fee prices.
“I don’t think having the Department of Transportation decide what is reasonable or unreasonable is a correct route to go,” said Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., the committee’s chairman.
The bill requires the department to standardize the way airlines disclose fees for basic services so that passengers can more easily comparison-shop the full cost of flights.
Missing from the bill is any effort to wrest air traffic control operations from the FAA and spin them off into a private, nonprofit corporation. An FAA reauthorization bill that would have privatized air traffic control services was passed last month by the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on a mostly party-line vote with Democrats unanimously opposed. The bill has the backing of the committee’s chairman, Rep. Bill Shuster, R-Pa., and the airline industry, but it was sidelined by House leaders in the face of opposition from other powerful GOP lawmakers and influential segments of the aviation industry.

Whether you yourself are a scientist, know someone who does research, or don’t know and don’t care, you may want to start paying attention to the kinds of weird things scientists do and how they go about doing those weird things they do.
You probably work, so at least some of your money is funding exciting—hopefully exciting—research. If you are an early career researcher (e.g., graduate student), or an early career faculty member, you have probably experienced the crushing feeling of anxiety that accompanies the reality of needing funding to do really interesting research. As such, you have probably wondered where the heck you are going to find this magical pile of disposable research money (or the next one, and the next one).
The “Funding Agencies Offer Insights into Securing Support for Your Research” symposium of the #SPSP2019 give both early career and seasoned researchers valuable advise not otherwise found online. The panel included representatives from the American Psychological Association, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Science Foundation, and the John Templeton Foundation.
William Klein of the National Cancer Institute explains that cancer research is extraordinarily open to funding behavioral research more typically conducted by social and personality researchers, such as behavioral risk factors like tabaco use and eating practices related to obesity. In addition, Klein advices researchers to keep track of allocations from congress to specific funding institutions. NIH is allegedly more conservative in the Fall, before having secured funding, than during the Spring, because sometimes budgets can increase from previous terms. Unanimously, all speakers advice prospective applicants to speak over the phone with the respective representatives in funding agencies, experts will most certainly provide feedback that may not otherwise be found in any online form or description.
Another valuable resource for personality and social psychologists offered during this talk is publicly available data that anyone can access for analyses. These include 1) The Health Information National Trends Survey, 2) The Family Life, Activity, Sun, Health, and Eating Survey, 3) The Grid-Enabled measures database, and 4) other data bases that can be accessed via The Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences research.
Research is expensive, with some projects racking-up to five million dollars, and social and personality psychology researchers are under fierce competition to obtain funding for their particular research projects. A large piece of the research funding pie comes from tax-payer money. As a result, agencies like NIH and NSF feel obligated to, and in fact build, policies that correspond to a shared responsibility to contribute to the general well-being of society.
Session: Funding Agencies Offer Insights into Securing Support for Your Research, held on the 8th of February 2019.

Crispy Chicken get’s eaten in our house more regularly than anything else because it is a child friendly quick tea. I would feel bad about that if I bought it from the supermarket ready done. I don’t feel so guilty about this homemade version though because it’s low-fat and I can choose the quality of chicken that I use.
I haven’t posted it before because I can’t ever seem to photograph it before it get’s eaten!
This is a quick snap I managed to get before it was all wrapped in soft tortillas with avocado, salad, chilli sauce and mayo. It’s also good as a snack or starter with chilli dipping sauce and works well cold in a sandwich the next day.
It’s based on an Annabel Karmel recipe from when George was a fussy toddler, but it is a surprisingly tasty way to eat chicken and it makes it stretch much further too. 2 chicken breasts are plenty for the 3 of us.
Cut the Chicken breasts into strips so they are no thicker than 3cm wide and 1-2cm thick. Dip them in the flour, then in the egg, then in the cornflakes.
The cornflakes can be crushed in a bag with a rolling-pin, or as we eat this often I whizz up a whole box of cornflakes in the food processor and keep it in a Tupperware for when we need it.
Lay them on a baking tray, it’s best if you line it with non stick foil, but not essential. Melt the butter in the microwave for 20 seconds, or in a hot pan and then drizzle a little bit over each strip. Don’t miss this step out, it makes a difference.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes at 200 degrees, turning half way through. They are done when they are just starting to bronze on the edges.
This is the 3rd of a series of mini, single photo posts about food that we eat regularly.
The best way to transform unhealthy food in healthy food. Well done!
These really look like deep-fried chicken tenders… so crispy and gorgeously golden brown. I’m all for healthy versions of classic favorites!
My mother has been making this Southern classic for years, but hers never looked like this! The cornflakes, while crisp on top, were woefully mushy in other places. Reading your instructions, it doesn’t look like you have a secret technique, but you’ve inspired me to try this again sometime soon!
Just made this tonight for dinner after finding the recipe through tastespotting. It came out perfectly and the family loved it. Plus, it was really simple to make! The only addition I would make is maybe put some garlic powder in with the flour mixture. Thanks for the sharing this though!!
Hi Jessica, yes I often mix garlic powder into my seasoned flour (except once when my hand slipped and it ended up with far too much in!) Glad you liked it! Thanks for visiting the blog.

This article originally appeared on Real Clear Markets on March 7, 2017.
Automatic payroll withholding to help workers save for retirement should be a no-brainer. Both conservatives and liberals worry that Social Security will lack funds to pay for promised benefits after 2030. At the same time, about one-third of workers are “not too confident” or “not at all confident” they will have enough money to live comfortably when they retire. Under these circumstances it seems sensible to make it as easy as possible for workers to save for retirement in the workplace. Twelve years ago George W. Bush proposed giving workers the option of placing up to 4% of their wages or $1,000 in private retirement accounts. (The funds would have come from workers’ Social Security contributions.) Oddly, however, most conservative lawmakers are opposed to practical steps to put retirement savings plans in every workplace. This position seems puzzling in view of conservatives’ opposition to raising taxes to pay for future Social Security pensions. If Social Security benefits must be trimmed to keep the system solvent, it makes sense to offer all workers, including those without a company pension plan, a simple way to accumulate private retirement savings.
At the moment a sizeable fraction of employees works for companies that do not offer a 401(k) or any other kind of retirement plan. The exact percentage of workers who lack access to a plan depends on the category of employee and the source of statistics. Full-time workers between ages 21 and 64 are more likely to be offered a retirement plan compared with part-time employees, teens, and older workers. Even in the favored group of full-time, prime-age workers, about one-quarter are not offered a savings plan at their place of work. The statistics for workers in small firms are much worse. Only about half of workers in companies with fewer than 100 employees is offered a retirement savings plan.
Among employees who are offered a retirement plan, the take-up rate is very high for workers employed in both large and small companies. In many private retirement plans, of course, workers are enrolled in the plan whether or not they choose to participate. Employers make contributions into the plan for all the workers they hire, perhaps after a brief waiting period. Even in plans where workers must elect to participate by making voluntary contributions, however, enrollment rates tend to be very high. Participation rates in voluntary savings plans can be boosted still further if workers are automatically enrolled as soon as they’re put on a company’s payroll. Employees in these “opt-out” plans can affirmatively elect to drop out of the savings plan, but experience shows that relatively few make this choice.
Plainly, most workers recognize the need to set aside part of their pay for retirement, especially when their employer fails to offer a traditional pension. When enrollment in a retirement plan is simple and when savings are automatically subtracted from wages in each pay period, the great majority of prime-age workers will accumulate retirement savings. Even if many end up saving too little, all will have the opportunity of saving something. Most will accumulate more than would be the case if they were forced to save outside of a workplace plan.
If Social Security benefits must be trimmed to keep the system solvent, it makes sense to offer all workers, including those without a company pension plan, a simple way to accumulate private retirement savings.
Legislators in five states, including California, Illinois, and Maryland, have passed laws mandating that most private employers offer their workers automatic enrollment in a retirement savings plan. Employers that already provide a retirement plan or that choose to establish a new retirement plan of their own are exempt from participating in the state plan, but the aim of the new laws is to offer all private employees the opportunity to have part of their wages deposited in so-called “auto-IRAs.” Workers’ participation in the plans is voluntary. Employees who don’t want to contribute are allowed to opt out. Payroll withholdings deposited in worker IRAs would be invested in one or more investment options. States are still deciding on the investment options to be offered, but it is likely these will be similar to the choices available in many existing 401(k) plans.
A better and simpler alternative to state auto-IRA plans would be a single federal plan, a position endorsed by GOP presidential candidate John McCain in his 2008 campaign. Congress has shown little interest in establishing such a plan or mandating employer participation in one, however. Astonishingly, conservative federal lawmakers now seem intent on disrupting state plans to establish their own auto-IRAs. They are trying to accomplish this by invalidating a regulatory ruling made by the U.S. Department of Labor last August. That ruling permitted state auto-IRAs to move forward with the assurance that they would not be covered under federal ERISA rules. Without this assurance from DOL several states may postpone their plans for auto-IRAs or turn to the courts.
Some small businesses and other employers that have not established workplace retirement plans oppose state-mandated auto-IRA plans. One explanation is that, even though no employer contribution is required, the plans will impose some administrative burden on employers, who must collect and forward workers’ contributions to investment managers. While this burden is real, it is hard to believe the administrative cost is large. All employers, big and small, must already calculate, withhold, and transmit payroll and income tax payments to federal and state tax authorities. Calculating auto-IRA deposits is less difficult than computing income tax withholdings.

This is not your average pot pie: the filling is packed with chorizo, corn, potatoes and cilantro, all nestled into a flaky butter crust for a spicy weeknight dinner.
Combine flour and salt in medium bowl. Add butter and use pastry blender to work it into the dry ingredients until it’s the size of small peas. Add water and stir until it comes together into stiff dough. Add more water 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed, but it is okay if the dough is a little crumbly. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in fridge for at least 2 hours.
Heat skillet over medium heat. Cook chorizo until browned, about 5 minutes, stirring often. Remove from skillet and set aside. Drain off any drippings.
Melt butter in skillet and add onion. Cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for one minute more. Add flour and whisk until it forms a thick paste. Add stock a little at a time, while whisking constantly, until it is all incorporated and smooth.
Add potatoes, corn and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes.
To assemble pot pie, roll chilled crust out on lightly floured surface about 11 inches wide. Butter 9-inch pie dish and add filling. Place crust on top of filling. Tuck edges under and crimp as desired. Cut a few small holes in the crust to allow the filling to vent.
Place pot pie on parchment or foil-lined sheet pan and bake at 400°F for 30-35 minutes until crust is browned and filling is bubbling through vents. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

At Six Feet Up, our language of choice has been Python for 13+ years, so we're happy to see that Python is now one of the fastest-growing programing languages, even rivaling PHP to become the most popular interpreted language. (source).
Today I explore the reasons why we believe Python is the language of choice for serious developers.
In 1999, a friend of mine introduced me to Zope, which was built in Python, an open source dynamic language. It looked intriguing but I had no reason for it as the company I was with was using Java at the time. So, when I was faced with the exciting prospect of developing Six Feet Up's first client website, I naturally turned to Zope and Python as it looked like a much lighter and more flexible tool than the Java application server I was used to.
I quickly got hooked on Python and we have since then deployed hundreds of web projects using this language.
There is a good reason why Bank of America has chosen Python to power many of their critical systems. It's solid and powerful. Python has a relative small quantity of lines of code, which makes it less prone to issues, easier to debug, and more maintainable. The Securities Exchange Commission has sought to mandate Python as the language for a new "waterfall" program that would make Wall Street more transparent. Python can scale to solve complex problems, as illustrated by the fact that it powers most of YouTube and DropBox, not to mention Reddit, Quora, Disqus and FriendFeed. Even the mighty Google has made Python one of its official programming languages. It's also very fast.
In 2007 YouTube migrated from PHP to Python for scalability purposes, citing that "Python enables flexibility". Python is used in a wide array of industries and for a long list of different usages, from websites and web applications to systems administration, voice over IP, and desktop apps. Python is also a staple of the Scientific community.
Because it wasn't originally created to answer a specific need, Python isn't driven by templates or specific APIs, and is therefore well-suited to rapid development of all kinds of applications. As a company focused on advanced web development, we really like this flexibility.
"Python in particular emerges as a near ideal candidate for a first programming language", says John M. Zelle, in the Department of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Physics at Wartburg College in Iowa (source). We certainly agree with this as we find Python intuitive and fun. We don't have to look up references frequently, nor are we overwhelmed by the formalities of the language, like we would in Java or C++.
Python's simple and straight-forward syntax also encourages good programming habits, especially through its focus on white space indentation, which contributes to the development of neat looking code.
Finally, while PHP is notorious for the inconsistency in its naming methods, Python's naming convention is prevalent from module to module, so developers are less likely to make syntax errors. This means fewer bugs and faster development.
Gartner estimates that 90% of enterprises are using open source software—including Perl, Python and Tcl—to build business-critical applications. That's because dynamic languages are an excellent solution for fast time-to-market for enterprise applications. Python makes it possible to get applications to market faster in part due to the fact that it has a huge standard library and is often referred to as coming with "batteries included". In addition, Python stays out of my way. Therefore I can be more productive than if I was using Java/XML: the same task will require less code using Python.
Since Python is an open source programming language, we immediately reduce up-front project costs by leveraging Python in our development projects.
Now, I'll agree that, more than a choice of language, what matters is the experience of the development team, their process, and how well they follows standards and best practices. We only work with experts in their fields so we can be proud of the code we deliver.

You can tell I have no life.
Sorry, Riku Replica x Namine is way too cute!
I don't know, I'm still searching.
It's a pathway of self discovery that you tread. To find Riku's perfection within a single 512 x 512 photo will indeed be a daunting task. You must let go of your feelings of fangirlism to see beyond; the pure essence of Riku. Only then will your heart lead you to the Riku avatar you seek.
I'll help Howler's search for a Riku avatar by making one!
Never give up on your dream Howler! There are people here to help you on your quest to reach perfection!
I like the avie to you made! I will try not to change it for awhile lol.

Dolby Laboratories on Monday received EU clearance for its acquisition of digital cinema technology group Doremi, the European Commission said. The Commission, which acts as the competition watchdog in the 28-member bloc, said that while there was overlap between the two companies in the digital cinema servers business, the merger did not distort the market."The proposed transaction would not lead to any anti-competitive effects because of the presence of alternative suppliers, the fast-moving nature of the market and the ease of switching for customers," the Commission said in a statement on Monday.In February, Dolby said it had agreed to aquire Doremi for $92.5 million in cash and $20 million in contingent consideration.
Dolby Laboratories, Inc. designs and manufactures video and audio products for the film production, cinema, and television broadcast industries. Shares of DLB traded higher by 0.25% or $0.1/share to $40.42. In the past year, the shares have traded as low as $34.77 and as high as $47.29. On average, 356773 shares of DLB exchange hands on a given day and today's volume is recorded at 32364.

SL Green turns in another stellar quarter and ups its dividend.
Any time that SL Green Realty (NYSE:SLG) announces its quarterly earnings, it's usually not a question of whether the company's funds from operations (FFO) increased -- just by how much. This time, that number was 15.7%. The New York-based real estate investment trust (REIT) announced its fourth-quarter earnings yesterday and its shareholders, who have grown accustomed windfall profits by the company, were not disappointed.
In addition to the increase in FFO, there were many other positive revelations stemming from the company's earnings release. The commercial office space landlord announced that same-store net operating income of its wholly-owned properties increased by 22.3% versus the year-ago quarter and that the company's net income had increased by 26.5% on a per share basis. As an added incentive for income investors, the company raised its quarterly dividend by 16.7%. The announcement marks the ninth consecutive year that management has upped its dividend payout rate to common shareholders.
SL Green is coming off a big year in which its stock price stormed up the charts, churning out a 78% return for investors plus dividends. Using Dec. 31 as an endpoint, the stock has risen 221% from three years ago and over 800% from nine years ago. For Fools looking at a long-term investing horizon, this security has been a clutch performer. Out of curiosity, I took a look back to see if there were any prolonged periods where shareholders of this company suffered, and there really weren't any. The stock has been virtually unstoppable for the better part of the past nine years.
I believe one of the primary motivating factors for purchasing shares of this REIT is fairly simple. The majority of SL Green's office space is located in Manhattan, and last time I checked, rent wasn't getting any cheaper in the Big Apple. For its Q4, the company was able to ink average starting office rents that represented an almost usurious 28.7% increase over previously fully escalated rents. Occupancy also increased from 96.1% in Sept. 2006 to 97% in Dec. 31, 2006. These remarkable occupancy rates are a theme common among SL Green competitors Boston Properties (NYSE:BXP) and Brookfield Properties (NYSE:BPO), who also lease commercial property in the New York metropolitan area. Both REITs maintain occupancy rates of over 95% for their New York properties.
SL Green has definitely set the bar high for itself. It might not return shareholders another 78% this year, but I think outperforming the market will not be a concern. The stock has already appreciated 10% one month into 2007. The company's Q4 numbers serve as yet another reminder that this REIT can deliver the financial results necessary to back up the lavish returns to its shareholders.

A man who led police on a chase through west Killeen remains behind bars.
20-year-old Frederick Lamont Miller has been charged with evading arrest in a motor vehicle after he fled from police in a stolen Volvo.
Officers spotted the vehicle driving erratically along Ricks Road Monday morning. When they initiated a traffic stop, Miller appeared to be slowing, but suddenly sped away. Officers gave chase and witnessed Miller run several stop signs and drive dangerously past a stopped school bus. Miller led police for roughly one mile before abandoning the Volvo on Hitchrock Drive. Miller left the vehicle in gear, causing it to roll backward and strike the police cruiser in pursuit. Miller left behind an unidentified passenger.
Another officer found Miller running in the area and arrested him. Miller confessed to being the driver and admitted that he did not have a driver’s license. The owner of the Volvo told police the vehicle was taken without his permission.
Miller was arraigned Wednesday and remains in the Bell County Jail with bail set at $20,000.
