Thursday, the Museum of Food and Drink hosted a panel on the food history of Arthur Avenue featuring Chris Borgatti of Borgatti’s Ravioli & Egg Noodles, David Greco of The Original Arthur Avenue Italian Deli (AKA Mike’s Deli), Carmela Lucciola of Egidio Pastry Shop,Vera and Pietro Terranova of Terranova Bakery, and Angel Hernandez the Education Coordinator at the Bronx County Historical Society, moderated by Rocco Marinaccio, PhD, Professor of English at Manhattan College.
Taking place at the beautiful Amazing Space on 187th St., the owners shared the origin stories of each of their businesses, which have been passed down from generation to generation. Though each had a unique perspective to bring to the table, they all emphasized the importance of creating quality products that keep people coming back for more.
Afterward, we all got to chow down on food from the panelists’ businesses as well as the Teitel Brothers. I couldn’t have spent my evening in a better way – sipping wine, munching on bread, pasta, cheese, and topping it all off with fresh cannoli.

Copyright law has a framing problem. The problem is pervasive, unresolved, and often unnoticed, and it significantly impacts the nature and scope of copyright protection. Copyrighted works are complex: Books consist of chapters, newspapers consist of articles, and so on. Courts often need to decide whether to frame the work as one comprehensive whole, an approach we call “zooming out,” or to frame it as a combination of many small parts, an approach we call “zooming in.” This framing move occurs across many copyright doctrines: fair use, infringement analysis, statutory damages calculations, separability determination, and more.
This Article focuses on decisions heavily affected by a court’s framing choice. The results are troubling. The study of those decisions suggests that in the majority of cases, courts frame the work without noticing their framing move. When courts do explicitly provide reasoning for their framing choices, they use factors that are normatively questionable and increasingly less effective in today’s digital world. Consequently, copyrighted works are framed in an inconsistent way both across copyright law doctrines and within each doctrine. In fact, there is almost no area of copyright law in which courts consistently frame copyrighted works.
These variations in framing choices have costs. While these costs need to be acknowledged and addressed, we reject one intuitively appealing approach to addressing them. Copyright law, we show, should not provide a unified framing test, or unified definition of the “work,” across all its doctrines. Different areas of copyright law face different policy considerations. Sometimes the framing of the work itself may need to change, so that the policy balance behind copyright law can remain constant.

For television, Jonathan’s writing credits includedozens of episodes of various comedy series but he is best known for the phenomenally successful, multi-award-winning BBC series Yes Minister and Yes, Prime Minister, co- written and created with Antony Jay.
Jonathan authored the bestselling books The Complete Yes, Minister and The Complete Yes, Prime Minister, which cumulatively sold more than a million copies in hardback and have been translated into numerous languages and are still in print nearly 30 years later. His novel Mayday (1991) is being re-published by Endeavour Media and his latest books Comedy Rules (Faber and Faber) and Samaritans (Endeavour) both received rave reviews. About Samaritans, the Sunday Times said: "This is a book George Orwell would have approved of."
Jonathan made his first professional appearance on Broadway in the revue Cambridge Circus, and his television debut on The Ed Sullivan Show, live with 70 million viewers, both at the age of 21. Jonathan’s West End theatre debut, aged 23, was as an actor in the role of Motel the Tailor in the original London cast of Fiddler on the Roof. His subsequent London directing credits include: The Glass Menagerie; Songbook (Best Musical, Olivier Award and Evening Standard Award); Anna Christie (RSC, Stratford and the Donmar); Joe Orton's Loot; Pass The Butler by Eric Idle, Shaw’s Arms And The Man and The Gingerbread Man (Old Vic). At the National Theatre, he directed A Little Hotel on the Side by Georges Feydeau and Three Men on A Horse (Olivier Award, Best Comedy). As Artistic Director of the Cambridge Theatre Company, he directed 20 productions, producing 20 others, 9 of which transferred to the West End.

Due to the increased number of applications of both microscopic imaging and image analysis including biomedical studies, the design of specialized algorithms and tools to facilitate quantitative assessment of objects in the image content is of urgent need. Recently, a number of approaches ranging from object counting by machine learning methods to statistical image analysis have been suggested and successfully implemented to resolve the cell quantification problem. Here, we revisit the above problem considering samples where objects presented in the same images have to be explicitly distinguished and quantified without involving any dedicated experimental setting like differential fluorescent staining. We consider several possible classification criteria and show explicitly how their combination in a single algorithm can be used to improve results in complex images where single criteria-based rules inevitably fail. Finally, we suggest a possible approach for the analysis of non-homogeneous images based on combining object selection results for different threshold values thus enhancing the algorithm from multi-criteria to multi-threshold analysis. To demonstrate the performance of the suggested solutions, we show several prominent examples of complex structures ranging from images containing both live and apoptotic cells as well as containing mixtures of globular and fibrous forms of heat-shock protein IbpA.
The conceptualization of the image analysis methodology and algorithm design has been performed in the framework of the basic state assignment by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation to St. Petersburg Electrotechnical University (project No. 2.5475.2017/6.7 to Mikhail I Bogachev). Preparation of experimental biological samples and their microscopic imaging have been supported by the Russian Science Foundation (project No. 17-74-20065 to Innokentii Vishnyakov).

I've never shared anything yet about my trip to Hyangiram in the southern part of South Korea. It happened more than one year ago already but I can still smell the place, I still have vivid memory of the beautiful view I witnessed while I was up there and I can still hear the busy noise of food vendors and locals who flocked to this infamous tourist spot in Yeosu in Jeollanam-do province.
Hyangiram Hermitage is one of the four Buddhist hermitages in South Korea. It is located 30 km away from the main city of Yeosu. I hesitated at first to go there because it's so far, and for somebody who is new to the place, without any local to guide me, going there was a little bit of a challenge. It was a one hour long and winding journey via bus Number 113. It was not a boring ride though because the views while on the road are spectacular. The wide blue sea, the green trees and the mountains assured me that I'll be fine on my own and I am on the right track.
When we arrived at the area, I was so sure that I'm on the top of the mountain because I was overlooking the sea. However, because there are establishments up there and pretty big community, it doesn't feel like a mountain. A small village welcomed us. At first look, it's jut like any other villages in Korea, except that the area is on an uphill. The smell of kimchi and other seafood filled the air as I passed by the food stalls at the sidewalk. I blindly followed the crowd towards the location of my target destination, the Hyangiram Hermitage.
Just when I thought I have already reached my destination, oh boy I was so wrong. I found out that in order to reach Hyangiram, I must climb a steep concrete stairway. In short, I have to do something I didn't sign up for, a mountain climbing. As much as I want to romanticize it by saying that the road up there is concrete, well constructed and convenient, I could not deny the fact that it's like climbing a mountain.
I knew I was in for a spiritual treat because statues of “little Buddha” (I don't know how to call it), displaying different emotions, are set to welcome and maybe encourage the visitors to keep climbing. The uphill climb was indeed challenging and at the same time fulfilling. I could easily forget the burden of going up there because the air was so refreshing, thanks to the abundance of camellia trees, and the panoramic view of the sea.
As I continued to walk uphill via the concrete stairway, I saw plenty of carved stones and temples of some sort. These are the symbols in Buddhism and are maybe conveying important messages that only the believers of Buddha can understand. I also saw some of the patrons praying and/or giving courtesy to the statues built in certain part of the mountain.
Generally, it was a fun and memorable trip. Although I am not a believer of Buddha, I appreciate how followers showed their loyalty and respect to him. Whether you go there to worship or to have leisure time, you would definitely enjoy the trip to Hyangiram Hermitage.
The entrance fee to enter Hyangiram is only 2,000 won for adult, 1,500 won for teenagers and only 1,000 won for kids. In order to reach Hyangiram via public transportation, you can take Bus 111 or Bus 114 and get off at Impo (임포 (향일암)) bus stop. Please also take note that there's a bus schedule for this route, so you'll know what time you should return to the bus stop because it's a little bit far from Hyangiram and requires hiking.

In this commentary, Vice Admiral Mike Shoemaker, commander of Naval Air Forces, argues that aircraft carriers and air wings provide flexible strategic options for the U.S. military now and into the future.
Today, more than ever, U.S. national interests require the speed, endurance, flexibility and autonomous nature of the U.S. Navy's nuclear powered aircraft carrier, which deploys, operates and is prepared to fight as part of a Carrier Strike Group (CSG). The CSG provides our national command authority with options, access and forward presence that allows for a rapid response to a wide spectrum of threats or natural disasters. Even when faced with contested waters and airspace, the composition and maneuverability of a CSG ensures survivability of the carrier while its embarked carrier air wing uses its integrated capabilities to project power, thus enabling the U.S. to continue its role as a key guarantor of peace and stability around the world.
CSGs, typically comprised of a nuclear powered aircraft carrier (CVN) and its embarked air wing, one guided-missile cruiser , a couple of guided-missile destroyers , and a supply ship, train and deploy as a team with well-established integrated tactics, techniques, and procedures that allow for freedom of maneuver in the global commons. Operationally, the combined strength of the CSG remains vastly greater than the sum of its parts. As a complex, joint force multiplier, with command and control and organic logistical capabilities, there exists no comparable way to quickly generate the effects crucial to American diplomatic and economic interests that carrier aviation offers.
Carrier Strike Groups provide access – access often denied or diplomatically slow to attain through other military and civilian channels. CSGs afford options to deny an adversary’s objectives, preserve freedom of action, and assure access for other joint and coalition forces. While political dynamics and host nation sensitivities can restrict the use of land-based aircraft in the initial stages of conflict, CVNs and their embarked air wings can reach nearly any spot on the globe without having to ask permission. We continue to live in a turbulent and unsettled world, and the strategic options and flexibility our CSGs provide remain in high demand by our Combatant Commanders around the world.
When the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant suddenly and viciously expanded across the Middle East in the summer of 2014, and the President needed immediate options to curb ISIL's advance, the George H.W. Bush Strike Group was on station in the Arabian Gulf and ready within 30 hours of being tasked. The Bush CSG was the only strike option on station for the first 10 days of the conflict and remained there for a total of 54 days as the only viable U.S. option until the order was given to conduct air and cruise missile strikes. Since the beginning of Operation Inherent Resolve, in fact since well before 9/11, CSGs continue to be present in that region of the world, with seamless transitions among those strike groups as they rotate in and out.
The continuous forward presence carriers provide around the world comes with a cost. After nearly 14 years of sustained combat operations, Naval Aviation forces must reset and recapitalize in an effort to ensure readiness in the future. The frequency and extended durations of carrier strike group deployments has accelerated the wear on the force and has led to increased maintenance and repair requirements, resulting in lengthened maintenance availability periods. Deliberate planning and resourcing has Naval Aviation on a path to recover our readiness in the coming months and years, ensuring the carrier force is where it needs to be, when it needs to be there.
The value of stability and security operations is often manifested in what does not occur – such as tensions that are quietly defused and do not escalate into armed conflict. In April 2015, while on station in the Arabian Gulf, USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) transited the Strait of Hormuz to the Arabian Sea, joining other forces conducting maritime security operations off the coast of Yemen to ensure vital shipping lanes remained open and safe. Following Theodore Roosevelt's move, an Iranian convoy transiting toward Yemen reversed course, underscoring the stabilizing effect the carrier force can have overseas. As an agent of American diplomacy, CSGs communicate our nation’s commitment to maritime security, regional stability and the uninterrupted flow of goods and services that is critical to continued economic prosperity for all nations.
The value of forward presence acts not only as a deterrent, but also enables rapid response to disasters as demonstrated by USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) immediately following the earthquake and subsequent tsunami that devastated Japan in 2011. The carrier produced and delivered potable water for thousands of displaced families, airlifted tons of food and supplies ashore, and conducted search and rescue operations. CVNs, working with allies and partner nations, remain ready to save lives, provide immediate relief, and set the conditions for effective civilian response without relying on damaged or inaccessible ports or airfields ashore. In the next few months, Ronald Reagan will return to Japan, replacing USS George Washington (CVN 73) as the centerpiece of our Forward Deployed Naval Forces in northeast Asia and delivering our most capable Nimitz-class CVN to that critical region of the world.
Naval Aviation continues to evolve to out-pace threats. A truly innovative ship, the Gerald R. Ford-class CVN will be the nucleus for our future carrier strike groups and a critical enabler of U.S. naval power for the 21st century. A major redesign of the Nimitz-class, Ford incorporates visionary advances in technology resulting in significantly improved combat capability and enhanced service life. Rear Adm. Mike Manazir recently released an article describing the unmatched value of the Ford-class, explaining the carrier’s often overlooked return on investment over a lifespan of 50 years, and the ability of the ship to remain survivable, sustainable and relevant while its embarked air wing continues to evolve to keep pace with technological advances and incorporate future capabilities – a characteristic of Naval Aviation that cannot be overstated.
The Ford-class design enables the Navy to operate the carrier with less manpower, saving more than $4 billion in total ownership costs over the life of the ship when compared to today’s Nimitz-class CVNs. CVN 78, the first in the Ford class, is on track to deliver next spring. Historically, the first of any class of ship or aircraft costs more than follow-on platforms, and the significant leap in combat capability, growth capacity for new technologies and life cycle cost reductions that were built into the Ford-class came with an associated initial cost. CVNs 79, 80 and the rest of the Ford-class ships will continue an acquisition strategy that will further drive down cost while delivering unmatched capability for the future. USS Enterprise (CVN 65), the most recently inactivated U.S. CVN, served the nation for 51 years, supporting generations of new aircraft while remaining at the forefront of national defense and providing decades of power projection options to our nation’s leaders.
The carrier air wing, as the CVN’s “weapons system,” must also continue to transform to pace the future threat capabilities of potential adversaries. In order to project power we must first be able to understand the operating environment through intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) efforts and establish local air superiority for our forces to operate. Investments in platforms, payloads, sensors and communications are required to assure access, project power, and enable sea control in the future fight. Each platform assigned to the future carrier air wing will contribute to overall mission effectiveness and lethality by accomplishing a variety of missions.
UCLASS (Unmanned Carrier-Launched Airborne Surveillance and Strike) will be the next step in the Navy’s revolutionary integration of unmanned air systems into the CSG and will provide the strike group commander with persistent ISR plus time critical targeting and precision strike capability. The real advantage this system brings to the fleet is its ability to operate in anti-access/area-denial (A2AD) environments and provide increased situational awareness of potential threats ahead of the CSG, essentially serving as the commander’s initial “eyes and ears” in contested air and water space.
F-35C Lightning II will be an absolutely critical addition to the CSG’s integrated warfighting package with stealth advantages that allow it to penetrate threat envelopes, the ability to detect and fuse information from many sources, and link that fused picture to other CSG aircraft, ships and decision-makers. F/A-18 Super Hornets, with the ability to carry large payloads of advanced weapons will continue to provide lethality and flexibility, and complement the F-35C to provide a very capable high/low mix of strike-fighters that can deliver responsiveness and firepower across the range of military operations.
EA-18G Growlers will dominate the electromagnetic spectrum, providing advanced airborne electronic attack capabilities, screening CVW and CSG assets conducting their missions, and protecting joint forces operating ashore by disrupting enemy communications. E-2D Hawkeyes have new radars that significantly improve their ability to search for and track targets while providing critical CSG command and control, and coordination of a range of missions, including integrated air and missile defense, and long range anti-air and anti-surface warfare. MH-60R and S helicopters remain a potent combination for defense of the CSG, with MH-60Rs acting as the primary anti-submarine platform in close proximity to the carrier.
Finally, the critical, future logistical connector for the CSG, V-22 Ospreys will provide organic re-supply and transport services, as well as the flexibility to support other mission areas as required. Although external to the CSG, the integrated capabilities of P-8A Poseidons, working with Triton MQ-4C UAVs, will be key to successful strike group operations, enabling access, providing maritime ISR and conducting critical anti-submarine operations.
Through judicious application of resources and a focused, evolutionary investment strategy, the CVN and carrier air wing of the future will continue to be the primary platform called upon to deliver assured access, power projection and sea control well into the future. Absolutely critical to national security and stability in the 21st century, future CSGs will have the right platforms and new capabilities to operate in highly contested environments when required, while continuing to provide a persistent, flexible, forward-deployed force that will remain a stabilizing presence where it matters, when it matters, in an all too uncertain world.

Austrian police said Friday they were hunting for far-right activists who stormed a Vienna stage during a play performed by refugees and sprayed fake blood on the audience.
The protest by the Identitaere movement took place on Thursday evening shortly after the start of “Die Schutzbefohlenen” (“The Suppliants”), whose actors are asylum-seekers from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.
They also threw flyers saying “multiculturalism kills” and fake blood at the 700 spectators inside the lecture theatre at the University of Vienna, police spokesman Thomas Keiblinger told the APA news agency.
A short brawl ensued between audience members and the extremists who were eventually pushed out of the auditorium and fled the scene.
Eight people have filed charges for bodily harm against the protesters, Keiblinger said.
After the upheaval, the play continued to the end under the watchful eye of several police officers, he added.
Austrian Culture Minister Josef Ostermayer said the “shocking” incident was the latest in a string of attacks by the Identitaere group.
The award-winning play by Austrian Nobel Prize laureate Elfriede Jelinek, first staged in Germany in 2014, is a biting attack on what the author sees as Europe's inhumane treatment of asylum-seekers.

Home > All about hedgehogs > Do hedgehogs have fleas?
Ticks are another common external parasite on hedgehogs. Usually an individual will have a couple of ticks on it though occasionally there are hedgehogs with heavier burdens. Ticks often attach themselves to the underside, behind the ears or the flanks of hedgehogs but they can occur elsewhere as well. Ticks are in general harmless to hedgehogs. However, a high parasite load can be indicative of sickness.
Hedgehogs often get ringworm, with around a quarter of the national population thought to be affected. Most hedgehogs show no visible symptoms and even those with severe infections can still show little sign of skin infection and can feed normally. Dry, crusty ears are one of the most common symptoms of a ringworm infection.

I’ll admit, the thought of Lucas losing sleep night after night for nearly 30 years because his Ewoks didn’t blink is somehow very comforting. Just not a hundred bucks worth.

The best way minimizing health risks from herbicide and pesticide exposure, including the active and “inactive” ingredients is to avoid them by eating Organic food as much as possible and investing in a good water filtration system for your home or apartment.
So, including fermented foods in your diet may also be a wise strategy to help detox the pesticides that do enter your body. One of the benefits of eating Organic is that the foods will be free GE (genetically engineered) ingredients, and this is Key to avoiding exposure to toxic ingredients in Monsanto’s (NYSE:MON) Roundup.
Eating locally produced Organic food will not only support your family’s health, it will also protect the environment from harmful chemical pollutants and the inadvertent spread of GE seeds and chemical-resistant weeds and pests.
If you want to avoid consuming residues of Roundup then limit or eliminate processed foods in your diet. Most of them are made with GE crops that are heavily sprayed with Roundup.
Even foods you might not expect can also contain Roundup residues.
An Alliance for Natural Health (ANH) analysis found the highest levels of glyphosate in non-GE crops including bagels, bread and wheat cereal. This, they noted, is likely the result of the common practice of using glyphosate as a desiccant shortly before harvest.
10 out of 24 breakfast foods tested in ANH’s analysis had detectable levels of glyphosate.
This included oatmeal, bagels, coffee creamer, organic bread and even Organic, cage-free, and antibiotic-free eggs. In addition, advocacy group Moms Across America sent 10 Wine samples to be tested for glyphosate. All of the samples tested positive for glyphosate, even Organic Wines, although their levels were significantly lower.
Roundup is not sprayed directly onto grapes in vineyards, but it is often used to spray the ground on either side of the grape vines. A study of glyphosate residues by the Munich Environmental Institute also found glyphosate in 14 best-selling German beers.
All of the beers tested had glyphosate levels above the 0.1 microgram limit allowed in drinking water. Although these studies did not test for the “inert” Roundup ingredients, if glyphosate was detected there’s a good chance their companion additives would be too.
Earlier this year, ANSES, the national health and safety agency in France, also took steps to ban the product. The European Commission (EC) has also proposed banning POEA.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced recently that it plans to monitor food for glyphosate residue but not for POEA, and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will not focus on POEA either, simply because it’s not an official active ingredient.
Monsanto must be well aware of the problems, as they have reportedly preparing to transition to other types of surfactants. The fact is, research is mounting that, when it comes to Roundup, the sum of its parts may be even more toxic than glyphosate alone.
For instance: In Y’s 2002 and 2004, studies showed glyphosate-containing herbicides were more likely to cause changes linked to cancer (specifically, cell-cycle dysregulation) than glyphosate alone. In Y 2005, research showed Roundup to be more toxic to rats’ livers than glyphosate alone. And, in Y 2009, various Roundup formulations were found to be more toxic to human umbilical, embryonic and placental cells than glyphosate alone.
If a bug will not eat it, neither should we.

On reflection perhaps I should have called this piece Herbs for Horses! Nearly all of these herbal remedies were used by the European Gypsies and they have proven their effectiveness through many generations. I am sure that you, too, will them helpful.
Most horses will take herbs when mixed with molasses or honey. Many times a brew with strong tasting herbs can be disguised with black currant syrup or honey, particularly if cider vinegar has been added.
Hops (Humulus lupulus) "Hop tops" young shoots given to colts to condition them. A good tonic. Flowers fed in fodder to quiet restless animals, 1 or 2 cups for young animals, 2 or 3 cups (1 cup equals 1 handful) for adults.
Ivy, Common (Glechoma Hederacea) Very good for internal cleansing after birth, 1 to 2 cups chopped herb for mares immediately after giving birth. In treating retained afterbirth make a strong brew; in 1 pint of water add 1 to 2 cups of common Ivy half pint drenches approximately every 3 hours. Do not confuse with Poison Ivy please!
Lady's Mantle (Alchemilla vulgaris) Horses like this herb so do sheep and goats. A good tonic. Parsley piert or Alchemilla arvensis is a gypsy cure for stones and a tonic after treating colic. It has been said that should man or animals take this herb on mid summers eve they could become invisible!! I have not tried that one, maybe one would have to take Woad (Ivatis tinctoria) to bring one back in sight. Of course the bluish hue might startle a few animals and people!
Meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria) Used by gypsies as a spring tonic for horses, 1 to 2 cups of flowers cut up and mixed with mash or corn brew in 1.5 pints of water.
Nettle, Common (Urtica dioica) Good forage dried for horses, rich in minerals, lime, sodium, iron, chlorine and a naturally good in protein value. Nettle juice mixed with nettle seeds is a good hair tonic: use internally 1 cup of juice in the animals mash. Use externally to wash the coat, it will give it a beautiful shine, beneficial for show or racehorses.
Oak (Quercus robur) Gypsies used the ripe acorns ground and dried them and mixed them with wheat flour to make a gruel. The green cups are very astringent and made into a strong brew are used to check bleeding internally and externally, 1 to 2 oz to 1.5 pints water.
Poplar, Black (Populus nigra) Buds crushed in milk, honey and wine a good tonic for horses. For sores, wounds, ulcers. Used externally too (by making an ointment with the young buds).
Puffball (Fungus) Used to stem bleeding and promote healing. Crushed and then applied to wounds.
Quince (Pyrus Cydonia) Hair tonic for manes and tails. The peel is made into a brew 1 cup to 1 pint.
Sanicle (Sanicula europaea) Used as a talisman on banners and shields to protect war-horses and hopefully their riders. Good fodder. Effective for internal bleeding and wounds. Whole plant used make a brew or give 1 to 2 cupfuls of the herb in feed.
Scabious (Scabiosa arvensis) (Gypsy Rose) Cleansing and antiseptic. A brew of the root and herb thickened with borax, removes old sores and dandruff. Mix about 2 cups herb and root to one and a half pints water. Put in 1 tablespoons of borax powder while still hot and stir well. Apply when cooled.
Strawberry or Wild Strawberry (Fragaria vesca) Leaves help prevent abortion, fruit good for nervous or slow horses. Foliage good for show and racehorses. 2 cups of leaves or leaves and root daily or handful of berries daily.
Sweet Cicely (Myrrhus odorata) Horses love this herb. A good tonic. Crush some or bruise the root and hold in the hand, they will usually come to one. Native Indians used this trick to catch the wild horses. Note make sure you catch the right horse!
Tea Plant (Thea sinensis) (Indian tea, China tea), Make a strong infusion, 2 parts to 1 of vinegar, (cider if possible). Soak cotton cloth when cold and apply. Very good for sun stroke, sunburn, fine burns. Dose internally: 1 dessert-spoon cider vinegar to 3 tablespoons tea mixture. Make the tea mixture with 2 tablespoons in 10 oz. hot water, add a pinch of cinnamon or 1 to 2 cloves or both. Give cold if possible.
Willow (Salix caprea) Given to goats to calm their hot tempers and cool their blood. I am not sure whether that means they gave it to the old goats or not. What is good for the animals is good for man too!
It's easy to forget that the "beasts of the field" originally taught us much of our herb law, (by our observations of them). They deserve more consideration than we often care to give them nowadays. By using these simple remedies we can do much to make their lives more comfortable and productive.

Super woman leaps tall mounds of laundry with a single broom. Swoops up a toddler and a 3 month old while letting the dog out, grabbing the mail and carrying in groceries from the care.
Super woman works a full-time job, does the grocery shopping, picks up the dry-cleaning, makes a four-course meal all before her husband comes home from his job and waits for supper to be put on the table.
Super woman volunteers for children’s church, is PTA president, room mother for first and third grade, runs a full-time home business while also making daily visits to check on her elderly parents.
Super woman never gets more than six hours of sleep. Is constantly in need of more. Is always behind on something. Eats more junk food than she does real food. Has no time for exercise or relaxation or play.
Super woman can’t even think about sitting down even for supper, much less to read her Bible, pray or commune with God. She rarely has time to read to her children and sends them to their father to answer spiritual questions.
Super woman questions whether she is doing enough. She wants God to take notice of her efforts. She is looking for validation by doing, doing, doing. She wants to earn His favor and blessings. She wants to earn her rightful place by His side.
And yet, God seems silent.
She can’t understand His silence. Can’t He see all that she’s doing? Can’t He appreciate her efforts. Why won’t He give her some kind of pat on the back. Just a little one will do.
So she tries harder. She does more. She swears she will be the very best wife, mother, employee, volunteer, church member there has ever been on the face of earth. Surely then God will notice.
“Hmm, I don’t remember asking you to,” God says softly.
She hangs her head in shame.
“Oh and one more thing,” God says.
She takes off the cape and scrunches into a ball, runs out to the trash can and slam dunks it.
“Sure Son, I’d love to,” she says grabbing the basketball and doing an easy lay up.
This time she hears it clearly. It’s a raucous belly laugh resounding through the heavens just as she makes another basket.

Someone that I follow in twitter had a near-death experience yesterday… They dropped their camera, and their lens stopped working for a bit. For those of you without DSLR cameras, you might not realize that good lenses go for $300-1600 and up.
Anyway, so I started telling them about the Personal Articles policy I got added to my homeowner’s insurance. The policy I have covers full replacement costs (not depreciated asset value), with no deductible, for accidental damage or theft. I was able to add my camera & accessories, laptop, my wife’s wedding ring for some ridiculous price like under $50/year. I’m now able to carry my camera or laptop around and not have to have the constant fear of dropping one or the other. I wasn’t, however, able to put my iPhone on the policy. Even though the policy says you can put computers, cell phones and PDA’s on it, the underwriter here in Wisconsin specifically excludes the iPhone. YMMV. I would have to imagine that there are similar rider policies for renter’s insurance, too.
So that covers the financial aspects of protecting your stuff, but what about your data, such as all those digital photos and completely legally purchased movies & music? How do you back all that up? Well, on the Mac it’s very easy with 10.5’s new feature called Time Machine. Just buy an external hard drive that’s bigger than your Mac’s internal hard drive, and plug it in. Or, if you are a mostly wireless person, you can buy a Time Capsule so you don’t need to be physically connected to it.
Of course, on-site backup is not a true disaster-recovery solution. What happens if, say there’s a fire, flood or theft? You’ll need to get replacement equipment from your insurance, and then restore from an offsite backup. Along with replacement equipments, you also need to talk to a fire litigation firm, like that of Singleton Law Firm (find more about SLFFirm.com here) in case of a dangerous fire that reduces every important document to ash. I’ve talked about doing this on Windows, but not on the Mac. On the mac, there’s .Mac’s backup, and there’s rsync. However, the newest craze is peer to peer offsite backup with CrashPlan. CrashPlan allows you to back up to a friend’s computer or another computer with CrashPlan installed. I recommend the $60 pro version so you get automatic file versioning. Keep in mind that if you are going to have a computer that only receives off-site backups, you do not need to buy a copy for that computer… it gets the “free copy”.
There you have it, cheap and easy ways to keep yourself protected.

Named 2014 JO25, this giant space rock measures approximately 2,000 feet across â€” about the height of the Shanghai Tower, China's tallest building and the second-tallest building in the world. It will pass by Earth at a safe distance of 1.1 million miles, or nearly five times the distance between the Earth and the moon.
"The April 19 encounter provides an outstanding opportunity to study this asteroid, and astronomers plan to observe it with telescopes around the world to learn as much about it as possible," NASA said in the statement. "Radar observations are planned at NASA's Goldstone Solar System Radar in California and the National Science Foundationâ€™s Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, and the resulting radar images could reveal surface details as small as a few meters."

During the visit of Welsh Revivalist, Pastor Edward Jeffreys to Oldbury Town Hall in April 1930, people in our town attended his meetings; some were miraculously healed, and many became Christians. Bethel Temple, as it was originally known, was built and opened on 27th December 1930 to provide a place for new Christians to meet, worship and serve their community together.
The little wooden church, was replaced in 1970, and has since been extended a number of times as the church has grown in both number and influence.
Bethel has been a constant Christian presence in its community over the years, and r emains a church of diversity, reaching people of different nationalities, ages and backgrounds.
The message of its beginnings has not needed to change, but today Bethel is a lively worshipping community, which continues to embrace new methods to ensure that this generation has the opportunity to meet and worship Jesus Christ too.
On Sunday 10th June 2018, a lovely bunch of folks who had been meeting at the Elim Church in Langley, merged with us. The Elim building in Langley Crescent, known as Sandwell Christian Centre, is just over a mile away from Bethel. It's home to fantastic local ministries such as Krunch, Sandwell NET, Love Sandwell and serves as Bethel's Outreach Hub for the local community.

Finding the perfect gift for Christmas, Hanukkah, birthdays, or anything else you celebrate can be a struggle. You hope to find something that the person will enjoy and actually use. It’s an added bonus if that present is good for them in terms of their lifestyle, and it's long-lasting. If you’re really stuck on what to get someone, think about something that is versatile and can be personalized. Our solution to all of the requirements would be a virtual reality set. Read on to see why giving the gift of VR would be beneficial to anyone’s future.
How Can VR Games Be Used For Health?
It’s no secret that games, both 2D and VR, are becoming a source of entertainment with positive effects on mental and physical behavior. Conferences with new VR tracks, like Games for Change, evidently have enough material to host such an event. The consensus that playing too many video games is bad for childhood development could become an idea of the past if these games continue to be released and used properly. The future of both health and health education could be greatly influenced by the possibilities encompassed by virtual and augmented reality. Keep reading to see exactly how games can be used for good.

A half hour call with a Vonage "support engineer" was a complete waste of time. I have a new Vonage adaptor and want to connect it to my desktop client via a 16 port Ethernet switch (D-Link DES-1016D) which is gender sensing (i.e., doesn't need a crossover cable to connect from the Vonage LAN port to the switch). If I connect the Vonage adaptor directly to the desktop PC, fine - but that removes the desktop PC from the LAN. So, I connected a Cat5 cable from the LAN port of the Vonage adaptor to the switch (by the way, tried both a straight and a crossover just to be sure). No connection between the Vonage adaptor and the PC, and moments later, the 'phone' LED drops on the Vonage adaptor.
So I have to remove the Cat5 cable, reboot the Vonage adaptor and do without the computer linlk. Since the Vonage adaptor arrived with a different internal address (192.168.15.1), I forced it to match my internal LAN address scheme and gave it a 192.168.10.X address. It does not make any difference to the connection with the PC though.
Does anyone have a suggestion? - I have zero faith in the "experts" at Vonage.

Jin Shin Jyutsu is a gentle healing art whose origins go back thousands of years. Rediscovered in Japan in the early 1900s, Jin Shin Jyutsu uses the innate healing energy of acupuncture meridians and balance points to help each person bring her- or himself into harmony, so the body can heal itself.
Jin Shin Jyutsu (pronounced “gin shin JUTE sue”) is ideal for anyone who is dealing with pain, too much stress and / or a chronic condition that hasn’t responded to conventional medical treatment.
As a Jin Shin Jyutsu practitioner, I gently place my hands on specific balance points, called “Safety Energy Locks,” in a pattern called a “flow.” My client remains fully clothed and soon becomes very relaxed — many people fall asleep! There is no massage or manipulation — my hands serve as “jumper cables” to help open the energy flow. This is the same energy that is called “Qi” (“chi”) in tai ch’i, “Ki” in reiki and “Prana” in yoga.
And you can do many of these same hands-on flows yourself! I teach my clients simple self-help moves to address their individual concerns and needs. One excellent example is the Main Central Vertical Flow, pictured at left.
If you are currently undergoing medical treatment, Jin Shin Jyutsu can be a safe and helpful complement to the healing process.
Doing Jin Shin Jyutsu regularly brings cumulative benefits, and receiving regular sessions can help keep you healthy, pain-free and at ease.

text: After the death of their father, three sisters (Haruka Ayase, Masami Nagasawa, and Kaho) invite their half-sister (Suzu Hirose) to live with them in their family home in director Hirokazu Kore-eda’s latest family drama. If their history is fraught with emotional turmoil (their father left with another woman and as a result their mother became complacent), the day-to-day conflicts of the sisters at this stage in their life is of the episodic sitcom variety—whether or not to take a new job, or how to bridge the gap between wild living and maturity. Kore-eda is not a director who favors overblown dramatic conflicts (his best films, like Still Walking and Like Father, Like Son, concern themselves with tense dynamics that don’t often bubble to the surface), but Our Little Sister is slight and breezy to the point that it all but drifts away. There is never a concern that the sisters will fail to exist in harmony or that the newly adopted step-sister will struggle to adjust—despite the difficulties that they have faced, the film all-too-often revels in their empathetic, loving glances across a dinner table while the melodramatic orchestral score holds the viewer’s hand. The loveliness of it all is fully convincing when the sisters bond over food, plum wine, and fireworks, but it’s hard to feel something for a family’s bond when there is never any sense of a fragility to it.

The term “value” can take many forms, and when buying and/or selling a home it’s important to understand all of them. There are five distinct ways to classify value. Although there are dictionary definitions for each, they are best understood through real-world examples.
1. Market value is the amount that a particular home is worth to a particular buyer. The Uniform Residential Appraisal Report appraisers use defines market value as the most probable price that a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, with all parties (buyer and seller) acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby: buyer and seller are typically motivated; both parties are well-informed or well-advised, and each is acting in what he or she considers his or her own best interest; a reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market; payment is made in terms of cash or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and the price represents the normal consideration for the property sold, unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale.
This is by far the most common value considered by buyers and sellers. The seller’s home is for sale, the buyer offers a set number of dollars for it and the buyer and seller eventually agree on a final sales price which represents the home’s market value.
2 . Appraised value is the estimated fair market value of a property at a designated point in time, as developed by a licensed or certified appraiser following accepted appraisal principles. Although it’s based on a fair market value, appraised value does not always equal market value; it is an opinion developed by an appraiser based upon comparable closed sales. Appraisers will typically also consider active and pending homes, but closed sales are the basis of value.
Mortgage lenders require an appraisal because the real estate will be the collateral for the mortgage loan and thus the lender must ensure the value of this collateral. Appraisals for purchases are written to underwriting standards; these are mandated by the lenders/investors (such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac), and appraisers are required to follow them.
3. Assessed value is the valuation placed on the property by a public tax assessor for purposes of taxation. There is no standard for establishing assessed value; this is a local call. Usually, assessed value is based upon similar past sales in the immediate area. When the subject property sells, the new owners may get the “welcome” greeting from the county; the sale price becomes the new assessed value.
In an ideal world, an evaluation similar to an appraisal is performed; in the real world, assessors may drive by, may measure the exterior of a home or may simply continue to build upon past historical data (the original construction plans). The derived value is then multiplied by the assessment rate, and an assessed value is established. Buyers should only consider these values from the standpoint of how the current assessment will impact their property tax liability as unless a property was recently purchased these values are a poor indication of the home’s market value. If the homes current assessed value exceeds the purchase price, a homeowner can remedy this and reduce their tax liability by submitting a formal complaint to the county board of revision (in most counties this is done between January 1 and March 31).
4. Value in use is simply the value of a property as it is being used. However, a home may appraise at a certain dollar amount but contain specific features that make it especially valuable to a particular buyer or seller. Homes with in-law suites that allow for multigenerational living can be more valuable to occupants than the data might suggest. An at home mechanic may find more value in a home with a garage workshop than an appraiser will. A movie buff who finds a home with fantastic state of the art theater room may place a very high value on that.
Some buyers speak of immediately knowing a home works for them because of some feature that it has. In a situation like this, many are willing to pay a premium price for the added utility of what a particular home offers. For them, the value of the added feature justifies a value that might not be recognized by the data.
5. Highest and best use is the reasonable, probable and legal use of vacant land or an improved property; highest and best use is always physically possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible – and that results in the highest property value.
Another way to think about highest and best use is to ask the question: In the real world, does the current use represent the most valuable option? An example of this might be a tear-down. An older, smaller home in an area where new, larger homes are being built is not as valuable as a newer, larger home. Similarly, a home on 10 acres in an area that is seeing lots of new construction is likely to be more valuable subdivided and sold to a developer.
These ways of looking at value are mutually exclusive; they do not have to point to the same estimated value for a property. It’s wise to understand the differences, especially potential differences between appraised value and market value. In most cases, residential buyers and sellers will concern themselves with market value and look for price support through current data. Properties with unique or special features can fall outside these parameters, and a buyer may be willing to pay a premium for them due to their value in use. By having a working knowledge of how to apply these different views, a quality agent can be an invaluable resource for a buyer or seller.

On three days of this trip we trek through and camp among the fragile ecosystem of Kerala's Western Ghats so it's extremely important that we strive to ensure we make as little impact as possible. Our trip leaders have been trained by us to ensure that they and our groups follow a 'leave no trace' policy and work to our detailed responsible tourism policy. Customers are encouraged to take reusable filter bottles, minimising the purchase of plastic bottles and to take all waste out with them.
This trip visits Periyar National Park, a wildlife haven that is particularly important for its elephant and last tiger population. We explore the park on foot to be the least disruptive to its wildlife. Our visit helps to support the important conservation work carried out in the National Park and encourages local people to recognise the importance of preserving these precious sanctuaries.
As a travel company we are continually looking for ways to improve and are proud to be ‘Responsible in everything we do’. Education is key, and so all staff, trip leaders and partnering suppliers are trained in responsible and sustainable tourism. At our Head Office, we continually strive towards a sustainable and planet-friendly working environment, including having solar panels installed and a company commitment to reducing our use of plastic.
During our time in the beautiful Backwaters we enjoy lunch with a local family at their home. As well as providing a great opportunity to interact with and learn all about the lives of the people who live here, occasions like this provide a valuable source of income to the small villages far from the beach resorts of Kerala.
Other than during the three nights of camping, we are accommodated on a bed and breakfast basis, and our trip leaders facilitate eating out in variety of locally owned restaurants. This help distribute the economic benefit of our visit beyond the hotels we stay in as well as being a great opportunity to discover authentic Keralan specialties.
This trip is led by a local Keralan leader, trained by us. Using local guides and crew is consistent with our policy to generate local employment and deliver direct economic benefits to the areas we are travelling in.

I’m finally back in Singapore and I’m on a mission to check out a bunch of good food places and more authentic Singaporean food as well. On top of my list of places to check out was Tim Ho Wan. It opened recently and is famous for it’s dim sum. The original one is in Hong Kong and won recognition as a Michelin star restaurant. Immediately after it opened, there’s been a buzz here in Singapore as there is always a long (2 hours+) wait and they don’t take reservations. We went one Saturday morning, and my amazing friend Aimee got there super early for us. By 9:30am we were seated for dim sum. The line wasn’t too bad early in the morning.
The pork buns were definitely worth the wait! The rest of the dim sum dishes were good as well, but I couldn’t really tell if it was that much better than other good dim sum places I’ve been to here. We ended up ordering way too many dishes, but our bill came out to less than $50! I’m glad that I finally got to check it out. I think next time, I may just get the pork buns to go and skip the line!
Looks awesome Jee Young! Can’t wait to check out when we travel to Singapore!
amazing food pictures jee young!

On the weekend just gone I was working afternoon shift and as a result would not be able to compete in the Remembrance Day Contest. This was a real shame as the weather was fantastic and I was hoping to go portable for the contest. So instead I decided for a quick morning activation on Saturday 12th August 2017.
I headed to the Nurragi Conservation Reserve VKFF-2247, which is located about 70 km south east of Adelaide. This is a newly added park to the World Wide Flora Fauna (WWFF) program, and my activation would be the first time the park had been put on air.
Above: Map showing the location of the Nurragi Conservation Park, south east of Adelaide. Map courtesy of Location SA Map Viewer.
During my visit there were a few flowering native plants, particularly the wattles, which were vivid yellow.
I was pleasantly surprised to find a number of interpretive signs in the park, no doubt the result of the hard work of the Friends of Nurragi.
A number of historic buildings remain in Milang. But sadly, an impressive group of Landseer buildings which stood in the main street were demolished in the 1950’s and replaced by the present day shopping centre. What a great shame! Albert Landseer was one of South Australia’s principal river merchants.
In May 1854, the first public railway in South Australia was completed, linking Goolwa and Port Elliot. The success of the Goolwa-Port Elliot line aroused interest in Strathalbyn where local business men saw advantages for them in a direct link with the new port at Victor Harbor. In 1857 a group of 20 people attended a meeting at the Lake Hotel in Milang, in support of a line from Strathalbyn to Milang. Unfortunately a larger meeting at Strathalbyn resulted in confirmation that the line would run from Strathalbyn to Middleton on the south coast.
In 1881 there was a new push for a branch line to Milang. A Select Committee was appointed by the South Australian Government. On the 8th November 1881 the House of Assembly passed the ‘Strathalbyn and Milang Railway Bill’. Tenders for the construction of both lines were called on the 18th April 1882 and Walker and Swann were successful in obtaining the joint contract for a price of ₤143,678.
The Milang branch line was opened on the 17th December 1884 from a junction with the Victor Harbor line at Sandergrove. At Sandergrove the Milang line served as the passing siding for the station, sharing an island passenger platform with the Victor Harbor main line. A goods siding also catered for local goods consignments. The only intermediate station was at Nurragi where there was a 70m long goods siding. There was also a passenger stop at Punkulde where the line crossed the Milang-Finniss road.
At one stage there was a small turntable at Sandergrove to turn locomotives working to Milang. Through most of its later life the branchline was operated with Brill railcars. The last passenger service ran 30 November 1968 with the line closed on 17th June 1970.
If you are in Milang I highly recommend a visit to the Port Milang Historic Railway Museum. The museum is located on the banks of Lake Alexandrina and tells the story of the Lakes Railways, displays a collection of South Australian rolling stock and equipment.
Although the Milang line has long since closed, the line between Mount Barker where I live, and Victor Harbor, is still used by SteamRanger Heritage Railway which runs a number of different heritage steam and diesel hauled tourist trains through the Adelaide Hills and along the South Coast to Victor Harbor.
Above:- the Mount Barker to Victor Habor line.
I set up right in the middle of the park, off Nurragi Road. There was a small area here off the road for me to park the vehicle, and make a short walk to where I set up. I ran my normal portable set up for this activation consisting of the Yaesu FT-857d, 40 watts output, and the 80/40/20m linked dipole, inverted vee at 7 metres at the apex.
I was all set up and ready to go by around 9.30 a.m. local time. First in the log was Peter VK3PF, who is well and truly leading the pack when it comes to park hunters in Australia. Next was another keen park hunter, Dennis VK2HHA from Albury, followed by my good wife Marija VK5FMAZ. It was very slow going and I had real doubts that I was not going to reach my 44 contacts which are required to qualify the park for the global WWFF program. Contact number 10, qualifying the park for me for the VKFF program, was with Kevin VK3HKK.
Shortly afterwards I worked Stef VK5HSX who was portable in the Girraween National Park VKFF-0198. It is always nice to get a Park to Park contact in the log during an acivation. I went on to work a total of 22 stations on the 40m band before callers dried up. I headed over to the 80m band where I called CQ on 3.610. This was answered by John VK5NJ in Mount Gambier who was booming in at 5/9 +. Mark VK5QI then called, followed by Les VK5KLV at Port Augusta in the north of South Australia, and then Mick VK3GGG/VK3PMG in western Victoria.
I then headed back to the 40m band where I logged a further 31 stations from VK2, VK3, VK4, VK5, and VK7. My 44th contact came at 90 minutes into the activation, with a QSO with Andrew VK5MR at Roxby Downs in the north of South Australia.
I then headed back to 80m hoping to get my wife Marija VK5FMAZ in the log. She had just arrived home from shopping and we had corresponded via SMS. Marija was my first taker after calling CQ, followed by David VK5PL in the Barossa Valley and then Wolf VK5WF in Adelaide. I then worked Geoff VK3SQ at Beechworth in north eastern Victoria, John VK5BJE in the Adelaide Hills, and finally Allen VK3ARH. More proof that 80m works very well, even in the middle of the day.
I then received a SMS message from David VK5KC to advise he was portable in a park on the Eyre Peninsula. So I quickly lowered the squid pole and removed the 80m links and headed to 7.144. I logged David who was activating the Laura Bay Conservation Park VKFF-1048.
I then tried my luck on 20m. It was too early for any DX, but I did log a total of 4 stations from VK4 and VK6. To finish off the activation I moved back to 7.135 on 40m where I picked up 2 more stations.
It was approaching 12.30 p.m. and I needed to pack up and head home for some lunch and a shower, and then off to work. I had a total of 71 contacts in the log and another unique park activated. Thanks to everyone who called and thanks to those who spotted me.
Hi Paul, I am pleased to be in your log after my break. And as always I enjoyed your description of the park and its history.
This is an amazing little corridor of nature. It was alive with birdlife, but I was a bit short of time for some serious photography. Will have to venture back that way, and whilst Marija is on air, I can do a bit of birdwatching.
Pleasure to get you in the log.
Looks another interesting park to put on the list!
Pleasing to see that this little corridor of bush has been preserved. It was absolutely alive with birdlife during my visit, but I was pushed a bit for time as I was on afternoon shift, so I didn’t get to take a lot of snaps.
