Todays topic revolves around B-westerns, These are usually characterized as part of a "series" featuring a specific star. They frequently have shorter running times than other traditional westerns. In this context, they resemble episodes of a television series, and, indeed, B-westerns became staple of early television.. So today we are going to write about the B-Western movies, cinema and web-series. Please feel free to add your you-tube links in the comments.

The star of this herb-flecked Persian-style rice recipe, by the actor and food blogger Naz Deravian, is the lavash tahdig — a crisp, buttery layer of toasted lavash flatbread at the bottom of the pot. Break it into pieces and use it to garnish the platter of rice, making sure everyone gets a piece. The rice itself is highly fragrant, scented with dill, mint and whatever other soft herbs you can get, along with heady saffron. You need to find thin flatbread to make this; the kind used for wraps is a good bet. It will take some time to clean all the herbs, but don't worry about taking off each leaf. Using tender stems and sprigs is perfectly fine. Total: about 3 hours Serves: 8 persons Ingredients 3 cups white basmati rice Kosher salt, as needed 10 cups packed mixed soft herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, dill, chives, tarragon and ramp greens 1 ½ cups packed mint leaves ½ cup packed basil leaves (preferably lemon basil) 5 stems of fresh fenugreek, leaves only (optional) 8 tablespoons butter or ghee, more if needed 1 teaspoon grapeseed or olive oil ¼ teaspoon saffron, plus a small pinch, ground with a mortar and pestle 2 to 4 pieces thin lavash or other flatbread 2 tablespoons dried dill 2 stalks spring garlic (optional) Instructions Step 1 In a large strainer, rinse the rice until the water runs clear, mixing it with your fingers as you rinse. Put the rinsed rice in a bowl and add 2 cups cold water and a handful of kosher salt (about 1/4 cup). Let sit for at least 1 hour. Step 2 In the bowl of a food processor, combine herbs. Process, in batches if necessary, until coarsely chopped. (You should have about 6 cups; set aside 3/4 cup of the chopped herbs to use as garnish.) Step 3 In a large pot bring 12 cups water and another handful salt (about 1/4 cup) to a boil. Drain rice and add to pot. Stir once very gently; return to a boil and cook until the grains are about halfway cooked (tender but with a firm spine), 3 to 5 minutes, skimming off any foam. Drain rice, give it a quick rinse with cold water, and spread it out on a platter or rimmed baking sheet until needed. Step 4 In a medium bowl or pot, melt 4 tablespoons butter; reserve. Step 5 In a large nonstick skillet with a cover, or shallow pot over low heat, melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter and add grapeseed oil. Swirl the pan to make sure the melted butter covers the entire surface and sides of your skillet. If not, add more butter. Step 6 Add a small pinch saffron and large pinch salt to the butter and swirl around. Place lavash so it covers the bottom and halfway up the sides of the skillet in a single layer, overlapping only slightly where needed. (You can tear the lavash into pieces.) Step 7 Sprinkle a third of the rice over the lavash. If rice is clumpy, break apart with your fingers. Top with half of the chopped herbs. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon dried dill over fresh herbs. Repeat with another layer each of rice, herbs and dried dill, mounding layers in a pyramid-like shape. Top with final third of rice, and place spring garlic, if using, around the edges of the skillet. Step 8 Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke several holes in the rice to allow the steam to escape. Pour reserved melted butter and 2 tablespoons hot water over rice. Cover and raise heat to medium. Cook for 10 minutes, or until steam is visible around the edges of the lid. (Don't go anywhere! The tahdig can burn very quickly.) Step 9 Reduce heat to medium-low. Lift lid and cover skillet with a clean kitchen towel. Return lid to skillet and cook for 10 minutes. Step 10 Reduce heat to very low. If you have a heat diffuser, place it under the skillet and cook for 20 to 30 minutes, or until rice is done and tahdig is golden brown. If you don’t have a diffuser, watch the pot carefully so the tahdig doesn’t burn. If you smell burning, turn the heat off and let the pot sit off the heat until rice is done. Step 11 Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine 1/4 teaspoon saffron and 1 tablespoon hot water. When rice is done, set aside spring garlic; reserve. Gently transfer 1 cup rice to the saffron mixture, toss to color the rice yellow, and set aside. Step 12 Taste rice for doneness. If needed, gently stir in more salt. Step 13 To serve, spoon half of the green herb rice onto a serving platter, taking care to not disturb the tahdig at the bottom of the skillet. Add half the reserved fresh herbs. Repeat the layers of rice and herbs. Top with saffron rice and garnish with spring garlic. Lift out the tahdig, break into pieces and serve on the side.

"Krishna and the Fruit Lady" is a children's book Norine had the pleasure of writing, designing, and illustrating for the daughter of her professor. Her Professor is an immigrant from India. She wanted her daughter to grow up learning some aspects about her heritage, particularly Hinduism. Norine adapted the Hindu tale of ‘The Butter Thief’ into a children’s book because, at its core, it is a story about sharing.

According to the PovertyMattersBlog , the same crowdsourcing technology I posted about earlier — which allowed people in Kenya to track ethnic violence in 2008 — will now be used to monitor education and health service delivery in that country, and perhaps elsewhere in Africa. Or at least that’s the plan. According to the posting, one of Ushahidi’s partners is Twaweza — the same organization that has contracted my colleagues Dan Posner, Lily Tsai, and myself to study the Uwezo education initiative in Kenya (we are busy preparing for field research as I write…)

Authorities Wednesday night arrested an Athens woman for the fatal shooting this week of a pregnant young mother at an eastside apartment complex. According to Athens-Clarke County police, a fight between two groups at the Clarke Gardens public housing complex broke out at about 9:45 p.m. and the altercation escalated to the point of gun play. As the shooting erupted, 24-year-old Auriel Callaway tried to move her 3-year-old son to safety when she was struck by a bullet and later died at the hospital where her unborn child was also pronounced deceased. After identifying 26-year-old Clarke Gardens resident Kiresa Shanice Cooper as a suspect, authorities located and arrested her Wednesday evening in Cobb County, according to police. Cooper was initially charged with felony murder and aggravated assault, though police said additional charges were expected. Auriel Callaway "This reckless act of violence took the life of a young mother in her prime as well as her unborn child," Athens-Clarke County Police Chief Cleveland Spruill said in a prepared statement released late Thursday morning. "Such senseless violence shall not be tolerated and all our investigative resources and tools were brought to bear to locate and apprehend the suspect," the police chief's statement said. Cooper's mother, Barbara Patman, said when she spoke to her daughter by phone from the jail Wednesday night, Cooper denied firing a gun in the skirmish from which the fatal shot was fired. Cooper briefly appeared in Magistrate Court Thursday morning for a hearing in which a judge bound Cooper’s case over to Superior Court. Court personnel said that the hearing was held earlier than planned and Cooper was quickly returned to jail due to rumors that people who might disrupt the hearing were planning to attend. During a Thursday afternoon press conference, Spruill said that investigators had obtained cellphone videos that captured parts of the altercation, but no footage the fatal gunshot being fired. He said that more than one person fired a gun in the incident but investigators gathered evidence that made him confident that the right person was charged with Callaway's death. The police chief thanked community members that assisted in the investigation but requested that anyone who had additional video footage of the incident to share it with police. He asked that anyone with information or video related to the incident contact detectives Scott Black or Paul Johnson at (706) 613-3330.

Happy Valentine's Day!! That means it's the middle of February and it's time for our mid-month inspiration for Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra! A looooooong time ago, I got a whole bunch of pre-embossed and pre-die cut card bases from someone who was getting out of card making. I haven't used very many of them, but as part of my use up scraps and bits and pieces personal challenge, I have pulled a bunch of them out and put them near my work desk to remind myself to actually use them. This is one that I had laying there. As I said, it was already embossed and the embossing is gorgeous but I just didn't know what to do with it. I had cut out the center with my craft knife for another card and it just didn't work out, but I thought it would be fabulous for a sentiment matted with a colored card stock. And it is!! Since I have had it so long, the base was a little dusty, so I used some creamy caramel ink to give it a vintage feel. I lightly dragged a gold ink pad across the embossing to bring out the details and add to the theme. Then I embossed the sentiment with gold embossing powder on kraft and matted it with red. A red bow and it's ready to go! I hope this inspires you to look at your supplies in a new way, and maybe even get some Christmas cards ready to go. Hope you will play along with us this month! It's never to early for Christmas cards. : ) Supplies: Stamps: Repeat Impressions "For Unto You" Challenges: Creative Fingers #124--anything goes Craft-Dee BowZ--anything goes with a handmade bow Christmas at Sweet Stampin'--anything goes Sparkles #73--krafty Christmas Julia Spiri--I love red As You Like It--ribbon or lace (I'm definitely a ribbon girl.

Wolin shows the different “faces of homelessness” both literally and figuratively. His book consists of portraits of homeless people, annotated with their testimonies. A multitude of individuals and situations is thus presented: “Homelessness takes different forms, it goes beyond living on the streets. Factors other than mental illnesses and addictions contribute to the problem. There are homeless veterans, families evicted from their homes. , people finding themselves with sudden medical expenses that their insurance does not cover. Loss of a job, divorce, death of a spouse or parent, domestic violence, discrimination based on sexual orientation, lack of affordable housing, etc. All of this leads to homelessness, ”the author explains in his book.Noting that “most of the homeless are invisible”, the American photographer went to meet many people suffering from this situation, in order to “sweep away stereotypes”. The testimonies are reported in the first person, so as not to interfere in the experiences and feelings of the subjects. Taken in color, often with flash, the images show homeless people in places of their own choosing – where they sleep most of the time. In his book, the photographer steps aside to finally highlight invisible people, uniquely united by the way they are marginalized in the four corners of the territory covered, from Chicago to Los Angeles.

I am Clarissa from the UK. I have a background within chemistry, studying undergraduate degree at the University of Sheffield. It is my time at Sheffield where my interest within healthcare and pharmaceutical industry began, after learning about drug development and drug targeting techniques. Following my studies, I volunteered for three-months in Bangladesh, working closely with the local Bangladeshi government and community to provide training and business development for residents of the community; and I was involved in creating two and expanding two existing businesses. It is during this time I became passionate about international development, with the belief that by working together people can bring about the change to end unnecessary suffering and poverty. I am currently studying PhD at University College London in Advanced Therapeutics and Nanomedicine, and once complete I intended to work within global health.

The remote sensing laboratory at the Ariel University, Israel, is working in a new technology that could forecast earthquakes through satellite data. “We’re trying to establish a huge platform that takes into account different remote sensing measurements. We’re trying to combine all the data in order to try to predict, assess and mitigate natural effects related to natural hazards,” said Dr. Yuval Reuveni, head of the university’s remote sensing laboratory. While predicting earthquakes, it is also very important to evaluate the precursors and potential consequences, such as floods, severe storms or tsunamis. If the new technique that is being developed can really forecast these natural phenomena, the risk created by natural disasters could be notably reduced.

STAMFORD -- When a child has behavioral issues, the problem might stem from sensory disorders, which can cause increased sensitivity and irritability as well as affect balance, motor skills and cause easy fatigue. Enter Crae Akerson and her business, Celebrating Children in Stamford. Akerson provides occupational therapy and audio processing help for children. This week The Dart led The Advocate to Akerson's practice in the office complex at the corner of Myano Lane and West Main Street. Her business is more of a playroom than a traditional office. It has trampolines, tunnels, padded mats, lots of games and more. Mary Donovan was gracious enough to let us observe her sons, Jack and Brian, during their session with Akerson. Donovan started bringing her boys to Akerson a year ago, after noticing that they were easily frustrated and had low endurance. Since then, the boys, who turn 6 in August, have been improving steadily. "They were very sensitive to sound, and shutting down when there was music time at school. They were like statues when the other children were dancing," Mary Donovan said. "They've made huge improvements and now they're interacting with their peers. We just want them to be the best that they can be." Akerson led Jack Donovan to a room that contained a kid's pool full of dried kidney beans instead of water. She instructed him to get in and play around in it, and she did the same. Akerson mentioned that sensory impairment can make people sensitive to different textures, and the beans help get a child used to the sensation.She then asks him to find some fake gold coins that she hid in the pool prior to his arrival. "See if you can find six gold coins," Akerson asked. "Found one!" Jack Donovan said excitedly. He found three coins pretty quickly. His eyes lit up as he discovered them, his fingers sifting through the beans to find more. "You're finding them like crazy," Akerson said in encouragement. Akerson then had Jack complete an obstacle course, which included activities like pulling himself on a scooter board across the floor and jumping on trampoline while counting to 10. "All of this stuff works on sensory integration," Akerson explained. Akerson chose to pursue occupational therapy because her daughter, Samantha, had sensory integration issues. Though information about the problem was scarce in those days, and her interest in it led her to become a therapist. She has been in practice since 1997, and started her own practice two years ago. Her daughter is 21 now and doing fine, studying to be an occupational therapist as well. "I love being with kids, I love seeing their joy when they're feeling better about life and not getting frustrated. I also enjoy when a teacher tells me that a child is paying attention so well." Akerson next had Brian and Jack get on a dual swing attached to the ceiling. She helped the boys get settled and assisted them in getting the swing to rotate. Eventually she had the boys move the swing by themselves. Using the swing helps build endurance and balance, Akerson said. As they boys got some steady rotations going, she told Brian to straighten out his body and lift his legs higher, like his brother was doing, to get the most mobility out of the swing. After the boys convinced her to let them have one last go around on the swing, Akerson gave them a game to play that works on improving their grip when using a crayon or pencil. She had them put pegs in a pegboard using one hand. The hard part was they had to do it while holding a small marshmallow in the same hand. This would help both manual dexterity and writing skills. While the task was challenging for Jack and Brian, Akerson was patient and encouraging. The boys at last got through two rows of pegs on their boards, but still pleaded to do more. Letting them eat the occasional marshmallow seemed to work.

LAS VEGAS — Customers of many traditional internet service providers may be in for a rude awakening if they use their home internet a lot: If they use too much data over the course of a month, they could incur extra charges on their bill or have their internet speeds slowed down. These unpleasant surprises come as a result of exceeding the limits on how much internet they are permitted to consume under the terms of their contract with their provider — a concept known as “data caps.” With more people working from home due to the pandemic, encountering data caps — and the extra charges that come with them — has become a more familiar experience. Customers of Intech, however, do not have to worry about data caps, according to Nando Ateho, national sales director with Intech. “Our solution to data caps is simple and elegant: We don’t have them,” Ateho said. “That’s one of many benefits our customers enjoy, and it’s one of our firm’s many advantages in serving the market.” A leader in designing and managing private internet and wireless technology solutions, Intech has been servicing real estate and property management customers throughout the Southwest for more than 10 years while focusing on personalized customer service. Eschewing data caps is a way to avert surprise fees or hidden charges while keeping internet speeds fast, even for heavy users, Ateho said. The bottom line is that customers remain happy with their service and their overall internet experience. “Most internet service providers have these data caps in place, which limit the amount of internet customers can use in a given month without being penalized,” Ateho said. “Once you hit that cap, that ceiling, if you are a Cox subscriber, for example, you may automatically be charged more money, or they may approach you and ask if you want to transfer to unlimited cap by paying them more money. At Intech, we don’t have data caps. We think this policy is yet another way our customers consistently enjoy and enhance their internet experience.” For more information about Intech, visit About Intech Intech builds skillfully designed and comprehensively managed TV and private wireless internet solutions.

For the first time in almost 10 years, crude oil prices have risen above $30 a barrel. Heating oil, a vital fuel in the Northeast, is at $2 a gallon, double the price of a year ago, and gasoline could top $1.75 by summer. What's going on? The simple answer is that for the past six months, the member nations of OPEC have constricted supply by several million barrels a day. Inventories are shrinking fast and sellers have the whip hand. But that's only half the picture. The oil equation has a demand side as well, although we prefer to ignore it. Supply is sexy and subject to exciting quick fixes, such as draining the strategic petroleum reserve or sending soldiers to tap the barrel with bayonets. Demand appears, at first glance, less tractable; it is the sum of small actions by millions of drivers and householders. But these individual choices are shaped by how our vehicles are engineered and how our destinations are scattered across the landscape. Demand is a thing that policy has created, and it is something policy can change, though not overnight. It is undeniably a disagreeable subject, however, because to look closely at it is to confront some unpleasant realities about the "American dream." The great economic expansion of the '90 was, metaphorically, built on boxes. The box that grabbed all the attention was the personal computer. But other, bigger boxes played their part as well. The big box on wheels - the sport utility vehicle - pumped an infusion of cash into the American car industry. The big-box stores sweetened the profit margins of the retail sector. And with these two came yet another wave of suburbanization, this one strewing millions of new big-box houses around the outer metropolitan fringe. And these big houses have big, fuel-guzzling furnaces. Driving all those big vehicles back and forth between home and shopping and work takes a lot of gasoline. In just 10 years, from 1990 to today, U.S. gasoline consumption jumped by 25 percent, or well over 2 million barrels a day. Half the increase is because we're traveling farther, and the other half is because SUVs and other "light trucks" are exempt from car fuel-economy standards. The combination has contributed as much to the supply-demand imbalance as the OPEC cutback has. In fact, it is our drunkard's thirst for gasoline, more than any other single thing, that gave OPEC its opportunity. Unlike other oil producers, the OPEC nations have considerable spare production capacity; thus, when demand increases, their share increases more rapidly. Last year, for the first time since the Gulf War, the cartel's share of world production approached 45 percent, the level it has traditionally needed for market dominance. U.S. motorists have put OPEC back in the driver's seat. Is there a happy ending? It depends. In one scenario, the price of crude settles at $30 a barrel, and consumers learn to live with it. Once stability returns to oil markets and the opportunity for speculation and price gouging is eliminated, gasoline and heating oil should settle at around $1.50 a gallon - a new high but still affordable for the politically crucial middle class. Prices at this level might promote somewhat less wasteful patterns of use. Or, OPEC could fracture again. Just a few member states cheating on their quotas would be enough to reverse market psychology and send prices plunging. Our decades-long oil-fueled booze-up could then continue a while longer, with predictable consequences for our social health. We haven't quite reached the point of delirium tremens - yet. But the headaches we've had over the last few weeks are trying to tell us something. A lifestyle based on the hugely disproportionate consumption of oil will take its toll; and all our big boxes will sooner or later put us in a very uncomfortable box indeed.

It still blows my mind that everyone I graduated high school with are now not only married, but having little ones of their own. These two have been together long enough for me to remember them most as high school sweethearts, Kyle in his football jersey and Hilary in her Maroon & Gold cheerleader outfit posing together for photos at every Friday night football game. They are still as sweet and in love now as they ever were and it was a blessing to meet their newest addition, Braxton. Family + COMMENTS add a comment Katy Boykin March 30th, 2010 at 4:32 pm Aww!

The storm is on its way in; so we are on our way out. It’s a sad way to end what was supposed to be a week of a relaxing fall break before the madness of school activities and the holidays started. The evacuations started yesterday, but we are heading out today. Here’s what it looked like yesterday… We had the whole beach to ourselves yesterday. It looks like we have the whole city to ourselves as we drive out. We are hopeful that all those in the storm’s path stay safe and that Matthew will be downgraded before it does any more harm. We are on to the next place for now and will see if we can find some fun adventures along the way. Share this: Tweet More Like this: Like Loading...

Whether you know him as The Charro from Huentitán, The King of Ranchera Music, or The Idol of Mexico, if you’re any kind of a fan of Ranchera, you’ll be familiar with the work of Vincente Fernandez. After taking his first steps in music as a busker, he steadily climbed the ladder to become one of Mexico’s biggest and best-loved stars. Over the past 60 years, he’s earned three Grammy Awards, eight Latin Grammy Awards, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In between picking up awards, he’s also managed to sell over 50 million records worldwide. Here’s our pick of the 10 best Vicente Fernandez songs of all time. 10. Para Siempre Recorded for the album of the same name in 2007, Para Siempre finds Fernandez in a softer mood than usual. The sound is gentler and more sophisticated than Fernandez’s standard fare – the influence, perhaps, of Mexican artist Joan Sebastian, who elevates what was already a beautiful song with some particularly lovely contributions. After hitting number two in the Billboard Hot Latin Songs in the United States and topping the charts in México and Colombia, the song was used as the main theme to the Mexican telenovela Fuego En La Sangre, bringing a new audience to the album and helping it stay in the charts for a stonking two years. 9. Me Voy a Quitar de En Medio Fernandez has never been an artist to shy away from experimenting, as evidenced by the beautiful Me Voy a Quitar de En Medio. Recorded in 2000 for the album Entre el amor y yo, it came at a point in Fernandez’s career where he would have been forgiving for dishing out the same collection of songs over and over again, content in the knowledge that people would carry on buying them regardless. But Fernandez isn’t a lazy artist, and Me Voy a Quitar de En Medio, with its Spanish, Cuban, and Mexican flair and wonderfully deep lyrics, is far from a lazy song. 8. Aca Entre Nos As notes, Aca Entre Nos is yet another song about heartbreak from Fernandez. Fortunately, he does them so well, there’s always room for one more. A slow burner marked by echoed vocals and growled whispers, the song finds Fernandez giving his macho side the day off and showing his sensitive side. It doesn’t happen that often, making it all the more reason to celebrate when it does. 7. De Que Manera Te Olvido De Que Manera Te Olvido is a song about unconditional love. The lyrics are decent enough, the vocals are on point, but it’s the melody that grabs you. Since featuring on the 1994 album, Historia De Un Idolo Vol.II, it’s become a staple of mariachi, and for very good reason. 6. Mujeres Divinas In Mujeres Divinas, Fernandez sings from the perspective of a man who has a conversation with a couple of old guys about the rights and wrongs of men cursing women. It ends in the realization that men shouldn’t take cheap shots at women, and (in a shock move for the macho world of ranchers), that casting women as either Madonnas or whores rather than recognizing their innate complexities probably isn’t the smartest move in the world. If you’ve ever wondered what makes Fernandez such a hit with so many women, this song is the answer. 5. Volver Volver Named by Latin Post as one of Fernandez’s best songs, Volver Volver is unquestionably one of the most iconic songs in Fernandez’s back catalog. Like many of Fernandez’s songs, Volver Volver is a heartbreaker, written from the perspective of a remorseful man who’d do anything he can to be back in the arms of the woman he loves. The lyrics might be standard Fernandez fare, but it’s the shouts, the weeping, and, more than anything else, that warbling intro organ that makes the song such a firm favorite. 4. Por Tu Maldito Amor Ranchera music and songs of heartbreak go together like love and marriage. If you want to weep and wail about your achy breaky heart, there are a few hundred ranchera songs that will be happy enough to accompany you. Of all of them, Por Tu Maldito Amor is perhaps the most tender. The lyrics are touching enough, but the crying voice with which Fernandez sings them makes them even more touching than they’d be otherwise. 3. La Ley Del Monte The battling violins and trumpets are what catch your attention first on La Ley Del Monte, but it’s the lyrics that will keep you gripped. It’s a song that manages to be one of the sweetest revenge songs of all time, as well as an ode to the power of nature, eternal love, and rancho life. Basically, it’s all things to all listeners; if you haven’t already heard it, give yourself a treat by cranking the volume to max and hitting play. 2. El Rey El Rey was written by José Alfredo Jiménez in 1971, and now ranks as one of the most famous songs in Mexico. Many artists have covered it, but few have come close to matching the original. Fernandez, on the other hand, not only managed to match it, he bettered it. The vocals might be a little rough, and it may lack the nuance of Jiménez’s original, but its potent masculinity and wounded emotion make it utterly irresistible. If any song helped Fernandez win the title of King of Ranchera, it’s this. 1. Los Mandados As says, Los Mandados is not only the best Vicente Fernández song of all time, it’s one of the funniest, angriest, most scathing recordings to ever come out from Mexico. In just three minutes, Fernandez manages to turn American immigration policy into a farce of Smokey and the Bandit-sized proportions, with the wise-cracking protagonist happily admitting that La Migra has caught him “300 times, let’s say.” Few songs have ever managed to make a serious point so hilariously, proving exactly what makes Fernandez such an icon.

In 2006, as Creative Director of Future Histories archive, Alda Terracciano embarked on a new collaboration with Tuup, a master storyteller, and Jamika Ajalon, a musician and sound designer, to adapt the original script of Derek Walcott’s play Dream on Monkey Mountain and create a storytelling, live art performance. Raising questions of love, madness, power and the search for identity, the story explores the influence that dreams can have in shaping our lives. The performance took place at the V&A Theatre Museum on 22 March 2006 to mark the beginning of a new phase of development for Future Histories as an arts and heritage organisation, while establishing new ways of engaging with archival material. As the Director stated: “Being a ‘living archive’ for the living experience of our pluri-cultural metropolis, Future Histories has been set up to oppose discrimination and social exclusion by drawing from the power of art and memory and their transformative potential.”

Sometimes reading a recipe can be confusing when you don’t know what some of the terms mean. What are some of the most common cooking terms used in recipes? You ask. Read on and I hope to help you solve that mystery. I was following a recipe for beef stew several years ago. One of the steps was to dredge the stew meat in flour. What? Honestly, I didn’t know what that meant. For some reason the picture of pulling the stew meat through the flour with a certain kitchen tool that I was sure was not in my kitchen, popped into my head. The term actually means to “lightly cover foods in flour or bread crumbs”. Why couldn’t the recipe just simply state that instead! I’m just a home cook, no fancy culinary background. The easier a recipe the better I like it. As long as the results taste good that is all that really matters. Have you encountered a term you didn’t understand when trying a new recipe? Common Cooking Terms A Al Dente: An Italian term that means “to the tooth” it is used to describe pasta that is cooked but still firm. AuJus: The natural juices that have not been thickened that collect while roasting meats. B Bake: To cook in an oven surrounded by dry heat. Always remember to preheat your oven before baking. Baste: To moisten foods while cooking by brushing with pan juices, butter, margarine, oil, or a reserved marinade Batter: This is a mixture made with flour and a liquid such as milk. It can also include other ingredients such as sugar, butter, shortening or oil, eggs, leaveners, and flavorings. There are different consistencies of batters that range from thin to thick. Thin batters are pourable such as pancakes or cakes. Thick batters can be dropped from a spoon such as quick breads. Beat: To mix rapidly with a spoon, fork, wire whisk, or electric mixer. Bias Cut: To cut foods diagonally into slices. Blanche: To cook for a few minutes in boiling water. This method is used to help remove peels such as tomatoes, to partially cook foods prior to freezing, or as a preparation step in a recipe.

Braise: To cook food slowly in a small amount of liquid in a covered pan either on the stovetop or oven. This is generally used for less tender cuts of meat. Breading: A coating of fine bread crumbs or crackers. Broil: To cook foods about 4-6 inches from a heat source. Brown: To cook foods in a small amount of fat over medium to high heat until the food becomes brown. This method seals in the juices and develops rich pan drippings.

Proof: To check the quality of yeast before using. To proof yeast, dissolve yeast and a little sugar in warm water (110 to 115 degrees) and let stand for 5 minutes. If the yeast is alive, there will be a thick foam on the surface. To proof also refers to letting yeast dough rise. Most yeast dough has a double rise, meaning letting the dough rise after mixing and then a second time after it has been shaped and before baking. R Reduce: To thicken sauces and gravies by boiling down and evaporating a portion of the liquid in an uncovered pan. Roast: To cook meat or vegetables in an oven without the addition of liquid.

Look for small bubbles around the edge of the liquid. Sift: To pass dry ingredients such as flour or confectioner’s sugar through a fine-mesh strainer or sifter to remove lumps. Simmer: To cook liquids alone or a combination of ingredients with liquids just under the boiling point. (180 to 200 degrees). The surface of the liquid will have some movement and there may be small bubbles around the side of the pan. Soft Peaks: The stage of beating egg whites or heavy whipping cram when the beater is lifted from the mixture and the points of the peaks curl over. Stiff Peaks: The stage of beating egg whites or heavy whipping cream when the beater is lifted from the mixture and the points of the peaks stand straight up. Strain: To separate solids from a liquid by pouring through a sieve or colander. T Tear: To use your hands to pull food apart into uneven pieces, such as when tearing salad greens. Toss: To quickly and gently mix ingredients with a spoon or fork. Often done with flour and candied fruit in baked items. W Warm: To hold foods at a low temperature, usually around 200 degrees, without further cooking. Whip: To beat rapidly by hand or with an electric mixer to add air and increase volume. Conclusion If you are just learning how to cook I hope these common cooking terms will help you in that journey. There are hundreds of them and I tried to narrow them down to the most common terms. I hope this list will help you with your kitchen adventures and take the guessing out of those confusing recipes. Have you come across a common cooking term in a recipe that you didn’t know or understand? Leave me a comment below and tell me your experiences in reading those confusing recipes!

When cleaning cones which have a screw thread, it is important that the thread is not contacted by any corrosive solution. If the thread gets corroded, the cone may not seal correctly or it may bond to the base and be difficult to remove. And with Pt cones, the thread is likely to wear out before the Pt insert. The ConeGuard Thread Protector seals the thread and protects it from corrosion during the cleaning process. Platinum Cones The cleaning procedures outlined above can be used for platinum cones as well as nickel cones. Since platinum is more chemically resistant than nickel, platinum cones can usually be used for longer before they need cleaning. Platinum cones consist of a platinum insert in a nickel or copper base, so aggressive cleaning solutions still need to be avoided as they may attack the base. Platinum cones also run hotter, which helps slow deposition. The lifetime of a platinum cone is typically much longer than that of a nickel cone, and can be further extended by refurbishment. Note that, if the orifice is worn to the extent that the diameter is outside specification, or if the tip is badly damaged, the cone may not be able to be refurbished. In this case, we will give a credit for the value of the platinum.

It’s all laid out in a report released by the Business Council of Alberta that thinks the government should consider a provincial sales tax and carbon tax. The BCA’s website refers to itself as “a group of over 90 chief executives from across Alberta.” The group includes Tracy Robinson of TC Energy, Tim McKay of Canadian Natural Resources Limited, Al Monaco of Enbridge, Navin Arora of Telus and Dave Filipchuk of PCL Constructors, among others. These CEOs are so worried about the government’s debt problems they felt compelled to write a report about how Albertans need to pay higher taxes to help pull the province out of a sea of red ink. Aren’t they good Samaritans? Oddly enough, these high-rollers didn’t recommend cutting the billions of dollars of corporate welfare the province has announced. If these executives were so worried about the debt, why not call for TC Energy to return the $1.5 billion taxpayers spent on the company’s pipeline? Maybe we need to give these executives the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps it’s hard to grasp the cost of a carbon tax when you’re filling up a Ferrari. Maybe they don’t know how bad it is on the ground? Here’s a little refresher for the CEOs whose corner-office views have become a little foggy. Over the past year, about 90,000 Albertans working in the private sector lost their job. There’s nearly 35,000 Alberta businesses that are still at risk of closing their doors for good, according to the Canadian Federation of Independent business. While this all sounds like bad news, the BCA report assures us there’s some “good news on the revenue side.” That silver lining is that “we have room” to increase taxes on Alberta families. The report even pontificates about an eight per cent sales tax, which would cost $7.2 billion annually, or $1,600 per Albertan. The report acknowledges the government could help offset some costs through rebates or other tax reductions, but the specifics on relief are scant. The report also discusses how Alberta could take over from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and reinstate the provincial carbon tax. A $50/tonne provincial carbon tax would soak Alberta taxpayers for $1.5 billion. Then there’s this bombshell: “A consumer carbon tax could be structured in the same way as a value-added tax (like the GST),” reads the report. “This would allow producers to pass the cost down and preserve business competitiveness.” Isn’t that something? A group of CEOs seem to want higher taxes, but they want to make sure their businesses can “pass the cost down.” That’s code for sticking Alberta families with the bills. The BCA does acknowledge that a pandemic and this economic catastrophe is no time to hike taxes. Better to wait for the pandemic to end before the government makes it harder for families to put food on the table. Do these CEOs seriously think that Albertans will have cash left on our money trees to pay for tax hikes after more than five years of economic hardships? Fortunately, Premier Jason Kenney smacked down the idea of tax hikes. “This would be the worst possible time to sink government’s hand deeper into the pockets of taxpayers who are already coping with huge financial stress,” Kenney responded. The New Democrats have also come out against a PST. So, what’s the solution to our deficit problem? Ironically, it’s found using data in the BCA’s report. The BCA acknowledged the government needs to reduce spending. And if Alberta brought its per person spending down to levels in Ontario, we would have a nearly $900-million surplus

A software engineer works on all aspects of building software. Not just code, but design and analysis too. And it all starts with what the customer needs. Because a software engineer is (so much) more than a developer. Three young Sparklink software engineers talk about their jobs and backgrounds. “I’m involved with every part of the process.” Wouter Reijgersberg "Very diverse projects" Wouter studied Electronics and ICT Engineering Technology at the University of Antwerp. He tries to get an early start in the morning, even though sometimes he doesn’t get into work until 10 am—which is fine, too. His preference in the gaming room? The pool table. 1. What do you do? And for which customer? Wouter: “Wouter: “Coding is an important part of my job. But I also take part in customer meetings during which we analyse a particular problem and then solve it. Right now, I’m mostly working on projects for concert venues Het Depot and Ancienne Belgique. We provide their internal planning and automate their marketing communications. Recently I’ve also started working for Antwerp Cold Stores, a logistics company specializing in refrigerated food. So the projects are very diverse, which is quite fun.”” 2. What have you learned already? Wouter: “Wouter: “What I’ve picked up most about is the Angular framework. I’d never worked with it myself, so it took some getting used to. As a software engineer, I’ve also learned to think a bit harder about the code I write and how it impacts the system as a whole. A simple bug which may seem quite harmless can wreak havoc somewhere else in the application." 3. What’s the corporate culture like at Sparklink? Wouter: “Sparklink is a scale-up, which helps you feel appreciated rather quickly. I know everyone by name, ensuring a good rapport. It’s not a ginormous company where you’re just a number. If I had to describe Sparklink in one word? I’d opt for trust.” Helleh Mirzaee Cheshmeh “I’ve already learned so much here” Helleh obtained a master’s degree in mathematics and then an advanced master’s degree in artificial intelligence from the KU Leuven. “Not exactly the conventional profile to start working as a developer or software engineer,” says Helleh, who also very much appreciates the trust at Sparklink. “In essence, I determine my own agenda.” 1. What do you do as a software engineer? And for which customer? Helleh: “I’m involved with every part of the process. That means getting together with the customer to discuss specific needs. Then, we need to work out the data model, which has to be sustainable and scalable. Only then do we actually start coding the app. Now, I’m working for Jacobs, an industrial cleaning company. They’ve just made the switch from their old ERP software system to a solution we developed.” 2. What have you learned already? “I had an awful lot to learn, compared to the average developer starting work at Sparklink. I’ve really learned a lot about the tech. I had zero experience with HTML and CSS, but now I’ve got the hang of them. And carrying out a data migration was very enriching, too.” 3. What’s the corporate culture like at Sparklink? “Human. It’s a cliché, but humans make a difference. The projects are very diverse, as well, with customers such as Ancienne Belgique and DE SINGEL or big companies specializing in logistics, like Remant, or industrial cleaning, like HCI. If I had to describe the culture at Sparklink in a single word? I’d plump for open.” Lander Geeraert “When new functionalities are required, I make that happen.” Lander obtained a Master of Computer Science – Software Engineering from the University of Antwerp. Now he’s working as a software engineer for Sparklink. “Here, you have the freedom to find your own path in your job.” His favourite game in the gaming room is darts. 1. What do you do? And for which customer? Lander: “I code the solution, but I also come up with it. Customers have demands and requirements, which we then need to fulfil. Right now, I’m working for Foodbag, a supplier of meal boxes. I make sure the backend works as expected, provide day-to-day support, and when new functionalities are required, I make that happen.” 2. What have you learned already? “The first few weeks, you get the time to learn to work with Salesforce, the platform we base our solutions on. During that time, you’re also introduced to your colleagues and gradually brought up to speed on a project. At Sparklink I’ve learned that often, much more is possible than I initially thought, and that there are many more things waiting to be discovered. In addition, my customer-oriented communication has improved by leaps and bounds.” 3. What’s the corporate culture like at Sparklink? What makes Sparklink special? Well, I think it’s very special to get up in the morning (all right, all right, a little before lunch, laughs) and to actually really want to get things done with your coworkers. Easy-going, free, and smart: that’s how I’d describe Sparklink in three words.”

XRP rose 300% since the start of April. After being stuck under 1$ for nearly 3 years, thanks to the SEC lawsuit, XRP managed to breakout and set a three year high. This bullish impulse was not held up well as BTC started downtrending a few days after XRP hit its high of $1.95. XRP needs to break above its price channel to be considered bullish again. While looking at the chart we can see the bears have been in full control of XRP since the high set on April 14th. Not only did XRP have a meteoric rise the last few weeks, the cryptocurrency market overall was due for a pullback. At this point, we should expect bulls to start slowing entering the market as this has been one of worst percentage falls in nearly 5 months. XRP Price Analysis: XRPUSDT 4 Hr Chart Chart by TradingView At the time of writing, the price has been held up by the 200 MA. If this level cannot hold, XRP risks another fall to $0.80-$0.90. In the case the bulls gain power back, XRP needs to break and hold the major resistance zone of $1.15. If this level can return to support, XRP will rally to $1.30 and beyond. As of now, a break to $1.30 would also validate a bullish breakout of the 10 day bearish descending channel. While looking at the Stochastic RSI, we can conclude that investors are unsure of the next move for XRP. The strength sits around the 50 mark awaiting a soon bullish or bearish break. Confirming a potential bullish move, the MACD is sitting low, coiling for a bullish breakout. In addition,The MACD histogram looks to be printing a bullish tick within 12 hours.

Author: agracier – NO VIEWS This file is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported Okay, time is short, so I’m trying to choose the aspect or two with the most impact to discuss for each day–but I’m finding it tough! Just see these as hints to help you make the best choices. 14 June–I know, today’s almost over, but this is just too much to let pass by: Venus sesquiquadrate Neptune, contra-parallel Mars, and square Uranus, while the Sun is sesquiquadrate Mars=confused motivations, anyone? It’s hard to be ourselves, and yet it seems imperative we act, choose, or do–and Love, ideal conditions, or the ‘right’ choice seem light years away. The most important part of today is to realize everyone else is operating in a confused sort of fun-house, as well, and that’s so even if (or maybe especially when) they don’t realize they are. 15 June–Eyes on the prize, I end up with three stand-outs, today, and they’re not what you might expect: Neptune novile the South Node says we find inspiration in the past–for once it’s a good idea to look back and dream; Venus is contra-parallel Pluto and trine Chiron, setting up a dynamic where Love or Money brings change (no matter how much we resist), and whether we see it or not, this offers healing; and Sun quincunx Black Moon Lilith, which draws our attention relentlessly to what we’d rather pretend isn’t there. Deal with it or not? The other two influences, Neptune and Venus and their contacts, should provide some kind of answer. 16 June–It’s an obscure aspect contact that draws my attention for today: Pallas novile Ceres. This implies wisdom in strength, practicality in Self-responsibility, and that being smart means, to the appropriate extent, looking out for those for whom we’re responsible and recognizing the power of others and so being willing to negotiate, fair and square. Behaving like this brings forward little moments of genius, and manages to deliver to us outcomes that are more, in a positive vein, than the sum of their parts.

Alaska now has two whistlestop trains, the original from Talkeetna to Hurricane and a new one to Grandview. No doubt folks are figuring out that the Grandview train opens up some packrafting options. Last year I used the Talkeetna train to access Clear Creek (aka Chunila Creek), and that trip is still one of my favorites. The train makes a perfect shuttle to Curry where you pick up an ATV trail that gets you in the alpine country above Clear Creek. After learning about the ATV trail Roman used to access the “Waikiki” section of Honolulu Creek I thought I would check out the Indian River. It looks great on the map, with a narrow, twisty canyon section. Unfortunately, the Indian River is a dud. First off, it’s more of a creek than a river, and secondly, it got trashed in the epic floods of 2006. Think “braided forest”, as the creek abandoned its old channel to flow through thick forest and under giant piles of cottonwoods. It really is too bad because the alpine hiking is superb, there are some spectacular California-style granite slides and ledge drops, some decent boulder gardens, and an interesting but short canyon. If you’ve got a good “no-hands” roll you might even earn a beer off the many fisherman camped along the canyon. I parked at Hurricane, found the ATV trail on the north side of Hurricane Gulch and hiked up and over a 4200’ pass. I boated intermittently on the Indian between 3000’ and 2000’, and continuously (except for innumerable logjam portages) thereafter. I wish I could report that conditions improve below Chulitna, but they don’t. I walked a dry creek bed for almost a mile waiting for the river to re-emerge from the woods. I finally made it to the Susitna and caught the train at Gold Creek back to Hurricane. The boating is generally Class II - III, but the water was exceptionally low. One steep boulder garden through VW-bettle-sized rocks could be intense (think “Little Su”) at high water. If you go despite my admonition, plan on 2 or 3 days round-trip. And remember that the whistlestop train only runs Thurs-Sun. So that one didn’t work out so good, but it gave me some other ideas… alaskacreeker August 12, 2009, 1:25am #2 We ran Indian River last Friday/Saturday, took the train in to the very last point and did a short whack to the river’s (more like a creek) edge. We only portaged around 2 small log jams & 1 tree. We were able to duck under 2 other large cottonwoods. Fun run but mellow and the whitewater ended pretty quick. I wouldn’t really call it a canyon, just occasional cliff walls to add to the aesthetic pleasure of the trip. We found a handful of bony class II+/III- drops. High water would make this run a good time, although you’d have to portage the trees we ducked under at higher levels, but could probably paddle around the log jams. We documented the whole trip on video check it out:^) had a small bear encounter too! Timmy J. gregc September 9, 2009, 6:09pm #3 Paddled the Susitna last weekend using the whistlestop train, put in at the indian river (hiked on trail from railroad tracks to susitna, less than a mile, they will drop you off right at access trail, you could use another put in like gold creek and have less hiking), then floated back to Talkeetna, camping one night along the way. It is really just a float trip, no real hiking involved, but the train allows for an easy shuttle to float a 40 mile stretch of scenic water.

David Cole, a Georgetown University law professor who is known for his liberal views, and whose new book Enemy Aliens, about the USA PATRIOT Act, is now in bookstores, knows how to throw a book party: He invites the man who is credited with crafting much of the controversial law. That man is Viet Dinh, another Georgetown University law professor. The article tries to be funny by setting up the debate between those two. Worth a read for the contrast between the two professors’ views on civil liberties.

This section contains several examples of how to build models with Ludwig for a variety of tasks. For each task we show an example dataset and a sample model definition that can be used to train a model from that data. Write-ups in the Tutorials section show both Ludwig's command line interface and Python API. For these tutorials, there are ready-to-run notebooks that work in Google's Colab Service. The notebooks provide the user a starting point for learning about Ludwig capabilities. The Example Use Cases section illustrate how Ludwig can be applied to a variety of machine learning tasks, such as, natural language understanding, timeseries forcasting, multi-label classification to name just a few. In addition to the examples here, on the Ludwig medium publication you can find a three part tutorial on Sentiment Analysis with Ludwig:

Local tech companies have already raised 71% more than in all of 2020, while exits also skyrocketed, reaching $18.92 billion in the first three quarters, almost doubling last year’s total Meir Orbach 06:4913.10.21 TAGS: IVC Israeli Tech Review Investment IPO Venture Capital Tech Industry Meitar Israel's tech sector is continuing to grow at an unprecedented rate, according to the latest Israeli Tech Review report released on Wednesday by research company IVC together with the Meitar law firm. Over the first nine months of the year, Israeli tech companies raised $17.78 billion in 575 rounds, an increase of 71% on the amount raised throughout all of 2020. This was in large part due to some 53 rounds of over $100 million each, totaling $9 billion, or 51% of the total raised in the first three quarters of the year. In Q3 alone, Israeli companies raised $5.9 billion in 177 deals – an apparent increase from the quarterly $2.3 billion average raised in the two previous years. Cybersecurity companies brought in $1.5 billion, while fintech firms accounted for $1 billion. Foriegn investors were responsible for $4.3 billion of the investments made in the third quarter. There were 15 rounds of over $100 million in Q3 compared to just four during the same period last year. The third quarter also saw 35 rounds of at least $50 million compared to only nine in Q3 2020.

Around $15.3 billion of the money raised in the first nine months of the year was the result of 282 growth rounds.

B, or b, is the second letter of the Latin-script alphabet. Its name in English is bee (pronounced /ˈbiː/), plural bees. It represents the voiced bilabial stop in many languages, including English. In some other languages, it is used to represent other bilabial consonants. In English, ⟨b⟩ denotes the voiced bilabial stop /b/, as in bib. In English, it is sometimes silent. This occurs particularly in words ending in ⟨mb⟩, such as lamb and bomb, some of which originally had a /b/ sound, while some had the letter ⟨b⟩ added by analogy (see Phonological history of English consonant clusters). The ⟨b⟩ in debt, doubt, subtle, and related words was added in the 16th century as an etymological spelling, intended to make the words more like their Latin originals (debitum, dubito, subtilis). As /b/ is one of the sounds subject to Grimm's Law, words which have ⟨b⟩ in English and other Germanic languages may find their cognates in other Indo-European languages appearing with ⟨bh⟩, ⟨p⟩, ⟨f⟩ or ⟨φ⟩ instead. For example, compare the various cognates of the word brother. It is the seventh least frequently used letter in the English language (after V, K, J, X, Q, and Z), with a frequency of about 1.5% in words.

Dust and Shadow was mythological from the beginning. Stories wrapped in stories, wrapped in ever more stories. Stories we told about the scope of the project, about its relevance for thinking sustainable futures in the desert southwest. Stories we told ourselves about what the project was really about, establishing critical and speculative distance from technocratic solutionism and business-as-usual. There were stories we constructed about how we could work together as Professors, nomadic practitioners and activists. And there were always stories about how it was going to end. How do we conclude this story? Or do we? Maybe it continues or maybe it ends right where it began: in search of old and new myths. The Center for Philosophical Technologies has its own story about Dust & Shadow of course. In our version, the project began during a family residency with FoAM in Brussels. There, we began asking questions about how to transform animism and other non-modern practices into a praxeology for the contemporary world. These questions were in many ways at the core of the Laboratory for Critical Technics, which morphed into The Center for Philosophical Technologies (CPT) in 2018. How might we transform philosophy into a technics for otherwise? And what could be in more need of this philosophical technicity than a sprawling urban center in the middle of the desert? Our Field Marshal, Ron Broglio, was the missing link. He made it possible to work with FoAM in the desert and to begin crafting technics for living and dwelling otherwise. Paul Ricouer once noted in an interview that there is an “imaginary nucleus” at the center of every culture, and this nucleus is the culture’s “opaque kernel” that exceeds all self-understanding and is irreducible to any set of “explicit functions—political, economic legal, etc” (Ricoeur and Kearney, “Dialogue With Paul Ricoeur,” 236). It is only when we “try to grasp that kernel,” Ricoeur explains, “that we may discover the foundational mytho-poetic nucleus of a society” (239). What became readily apparent to us, as we researched the urban desert, as we listened to it, and as we tried to make sense of its many contradictory elements, is that the mythical nucleus upon which its neoliberal and technocratic logics are built needed a redesign. We need new myths. We need new stories upon which to build and redirect our practices. But how do we go about this? How do we rewrite the stories of progress, development, and competition that we have inherited and so easily reproduce? We knew that our myths could function as antidotes to the stories poisoning our relation to the desert for so many generations. They should also be attentive to indigenous ways of knowing and being-with the desert. Our counter-mythology would be an amulet capable of protecting us from the many seductive, yet treacherous sustainability narratives. Our design work appeared more like witchcraft than any recognizable human-centered approach to sustainability design. It had to be carefully staged and lurk in the shadows. Our desert laboratory doubled as a secret lair for occult practices where stories and rituals for parallel technologies, gnostic healing, and mystical pedagogy could be woven. The first experiments or spells cast would redirect human attention toward the many layers of sonic experience. Their effects are just beginning to take hold. If a soundwalk and album look like recognizable outcomes, then this is a good thing: the amulet worked. We see Dust & Shadow as one of many ongoing attempts to pry open the cracks in our cultural imaginary and craft propositions for protection, healing, and thriving in a world that is in dire need of more shadowy practices.

Although CBD Flower includes trace quantities of THC, it can evaluate positive for marijuana after inhaling hemp flowers. Although hemp is significantly less likely to flunk a doping test than marijuana, the risk remains. Delta 8 has a higher chance of making you fail. Read out how else you can violate a medical exam after consuming cannabis flower, and what you’ll do to avoid it if you want to. Can CBD buds cause me to fail a sobriety test? Yes, it is entirely feasible to blow a doping test following smoking Cannabis flower, although uncommon. Cannabidiol flowers should include just under 0.3 percent delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) on a dry matter ratio, as per the 2019 Agricultural Adjustment Act. However, that could still be just enough to cause a THC affirmative test in some situations. In your pee, how much cannabis flower remains? Hemp flower components might stay in your pee for 15 days to a month. To some extent, detoxifying can assist but anticipate cannabis to show up in urinary drug screening for at least seven days. It could be ideal if you took some account for THC to leave your body after you’ve inhaled sufficient hemp to collect significant levels of the cannabis. THC can exit your body in as short as four days if you use a small quantity. If you eat the levels of THC that urinary medical tests can identify, however, you may predict far more extended elimination periods. Can CBD hemp flowers be detected in a medical exam? CBD is seldom tested in drug testing. CBD tests are available from multiple testing firms, including LabCorp, although they aren’t widely available. So, whenever experts analyze the chemical composition of your pee, “CBD hemp flower” is not among the compounds they look for. Unless you’re a regular hemp user, the nitty-gritty data of THC found in CBD hemp flowers may turn up in a massive test. Informal or mild CBD users have very little to worry about, and it’s faster than you may expect to collect measurable THC amounts in your pee. Read more about: 7StarHD Is CBD flower detected in a ten-panel drug test? A 10-panel drug screen is a popular form of urination that looks for ten among the most prevalent illegal drugs. A 10-panel medical exam detects the following drugs: Propoxyphene. Benzodiazepines. Amphetamines. Quaaludes. Cocaine. Opioids. THC and synthetic cannabinoids are two types of cannabinoids. PCP. Barbiturates. Methadone. As you’ll see, the term “Cannabis flower” does not appear on the list. On the other hand, THC is used in 10-panel testing, and inhaling Cannabidiol flower can result in a THC false detection. Can Cannabis flowers start showing up on a drug screening for probation? Most jurisdictions are unconcerned as to whether or not their parolees consume CBD. Authorities do, nevertheless, notice if you are using THC while being on parole, and doping tests may not be capable of distinguishing between the two. Read more about: 9xmovies It’s possible to flunk a court-ordered drug screen when you take a large quantity of Cannabidiol flower that includes up to 0.3 percent THC. If you have a parole medical exam coming up over the next month, think about reducing or perhaps discontinuing your Cannabis flower use. Read more about: 9xmovies CONCLUSION- If you use higher quality Cannabis flowers in moderate amounts, it is okay and will not be shown in a drug test. However, if you use a higher amount, make sure to stop it thirty days before the screening

I don't think I'm very good at creating a blog. It's been several months since my last attempt and so much has happened I don't know where to begin. I continued on with the art classes, then took another several sessions of classes with Michael Hill. In July I participated in a 4 day "plein air" painting camp in Fort Langley with both Lalita Hamill and Michael Hill. I can't begin to explain how much I've learned from all this. I feel like I've gotten such a late start that I'm this big sponge that tries to absorb everything in it's path. And I LOVE every minute of it even when my body aches and nothing seems to be working. I've had my share of successes as well along the way. In January I was prepared to say that I loved to paint and that perhaps at some point I might even be able to do something with it. I was totally uncertain of my own ability level and took compliments with a grain of salt believing people were simply being kind. Since then my occasional successes have kept me going. In April, expecting nothing, I submitted 4 paintings to the Bloom Six juried art exhibition at the Coast Collective in Victoria, BC. To my surprise 3 of my paintings were accepted. Apparently that's a really good result. In June I submitted 3 paintings to the Surrey Arts 2014 juried art exhibition. Only one painting is allowed to be accepted and my "Rose Hips" painting was not only accepted, but it was awarded 3rd prize. Recently I've had another painting accepted into the "Cascadia" exhibition at the Surrey Art Gallery and just last Saturday my "Kula Lodge Hibiscus" painting won the "Best in Show" prize at the Surrey Arts Council Arts Walk 2014 at the Cloverdale Blueberry Festival. And this past Monday I became an official member of the Federation of Canadian Artists - a really big deal!! As a result of all this I've decided that perhaps I'm a "real" artist after all. I finally retired in May of this year and find myself painting and gardening every day. It's become a passion and a necessary part of my everyday life. Although I suspect no one is reading this blog I'll try to make entries a bit more often in the future. 1 Comment Jackie Wishart 5/5/2015 05:45:16 am Hi Lynn I just thought I would mention that I recently attended the show at the George Preston Rec Centre last May 3, 2015 and was truly impressed with your "Icicle" painting. I'm not a lover of oil but you have changed my mind. I'm going to start saving up so I can buy it. Just beautiful. Thank you

Would you and your friends like to take group shots to celebrate your accomplishments? This is the perfect choice for you.

http://thecre8tivecollective.com/captures/

Just a week ago, me and Pig went for another outing organised by Foodirector! This time, one of the burger joint that we had not tried, Burger Junkyard. The outing was set at 2.30pm, for lunch. However, the night before we were in Genting celebrating my friends birthday, and also he wanted to watch Wang Lee Hom's concert. We had to fly back from Genting to Puchong to Kota Kemuning and finally to Kota Damansara in 2 hours. Exciting! Anywho, the following will be photos and explanation! HOHO The 4 owners were really nice people. The one wearing the chef dressing apparently is the head chef. He was the one who explained most of the methods of preparing the food. Each of them also told us their favourite burger in the menu (or their best creation). It was really nice of them to do a little interview with us. 3 of the owners have culinary background while the last one has hotel management/hospitality. Some interior shots of the place. They allowed us to take some photos of them preparing our meal. More interior shots. Really like the way they decorate their restaurant. Menu! The burgers are served! There were really a lot of burgers being served, and there was a lot of names, as I am really bad at names, I can't remember all, but I will try. The Ratatouille! I couldn't try this burger but to those who did, they say it was pretty good. The Texas Hold 'Me'. Did not get to try this. The Fromage et Fungi. Kinda like a mushroom burger. Did not try this as well. But to those who did, they complimented it a lot. They really liked the mushrooms inside! The Beef'in Blankets. I had a bite on this, and it was really awesome! The simple combination of bacon, cheese and beef was pure delight. The crispy yet soft bun was able to absorb the flavours. A really nice and simple burger. The Brooklyn Burger. A regular American styled burger. Beef or chicken, beef bacon, smoked turkey ham, grilled pineapples, tomato, raw onions, fried egg & house aioli. The burger wasn't bad, but it didn't give the 'umph' that I wanted. Its like a burger we could get almost anywhere. Having said that, its not entirely a bad burger, its really just...a burger. Another of my favourite. This is the Buffalo Soldier. Its chicken by the way. Its chicken with buffalo wings sauce, tomatoes and celery. The same concept as eating buffalo wings. Really loved how the juices flowed out of the burger. Pure heaven. This was the last burger served and by far the one with the strongest flavour. Blue Paranormia. Its beef topped with BLUE CHEESE. I had to share with another blogger, so I had a quarter of it. Even if it was a quarter, even if the blue cheese was really minimal, the flavours engulfed my mouth. Really really awesome. I may not like blue cheese, but to incorporate it into a burger, it really packs a punch. A little goes a long way huh.... The 2 burgers that I did not mention which were the Hoola Hoop Hawaii and Balsamic Beefin' Onions due to the reason I did not take a photo nor try it. So yeah...ahahhaaha The fries, comes with 2 types of sauce. One of it is their signature brown sauce, the other was a tomato concasse. The brown sauce taste kinda mushroomie whilst the tomato concasse taste like really fresh made bolognese sauce. Personally, I prefer the tomato concasse more. The Vanilla Panna Cotta with Lingonberry Compote. This was really a surprise to us. I mean, who would've thought that a burger shop would serve some Fine-dining dessert? The wobbly-jelly-like thing was really soft and creamy. It tasted a bit like frozen yoghurt with full cream milk. The lingonberry gave a very citrus-like sweetness to balance the heavy, milky, feel of the Panna Cotta. A stream of chocolate compliments the heavy vanilla and also to increase its aesthetic value. Chocolate Brownie with vanilla ice-cream and caramel sauce. The chocolate brownie was really soft and warm. It was able to absorb the flavours of the melting ice-cream and caramel. Overall, the brownie was really really good. However, I do find it pointless to scribble caramel around the plate. It may be for aesthetic purposes, but I personally believe that there is another way to play about. I do not know whether or not they will be serving it as regular dishes, or was it just for us. But it truly shoes the culinary skills that the owners have. Their hospitality also gave a really warm feel to it. Here are some photos that I did not upload previously. It was a really fun day with them and I would like to thank both Burger Junkyard and Foodirector for the experience! I would love to join them for the next outing in a Mexican restaurant but unfortunately I have to work. Shit!

In the summer of 2018 we have organized our first two LoveBridge tournament series, to present the system to the Hungarian bridge community. Both series were supposed to have 8-8 occasions during the span of eight weeks, one of them at the Böszörményi road, where you can find the official tournament room of the Hungarian Bridge Federation, the other one in the Palatinus Bridge Club. We are grateful for the Palatinus club, as they were the first bridge club to support us, and happily accommodated our test tournament with all the possible risks and inconveniences, but in the end, the tournaments were loved, and became very popular amongst the players. However, we've faced a small technical difficulty on the 7th week at the Böszörményi road. There was a power blackout. Still, our server was up and running, the tablets were charged as well, so it looked like the tournament can still be finished, but we had to send the players home after all, because they were bumping into the tables and chairs every time they tried to change to the next one. On the picture below you can see the happy winners of the first week in the Palatinus club.

I grew up in Tennessee. I have lived in South Carolina, Alabama, Colorado, Montana, Mississippi and Texas. I have traveled to over 35 countries. I accepted Christ in 7th grade on a retreat with my church youth group. I have been growing in a relationship with the Lord ever since. Mission trips have always been a part of my life. It is a joy to see what God does in people's lives when they serve Him. While traveling all over this big world, it's always a privilege to meet others in our family of Christ. My husband and I live outside of Dallas, Texas with our three little children (who also love traveling on mission trips). I love to cook for others whenever possible and serve our neighbors and community.

Two new local residents, who desperately want to remain unnamed, thought they had discovered a shortcut from Farmington, NM to Monticello by using the online travel aide. Unfortunately, the shortcut led them through McElmo Canyon and up Montezuma Canyon during the middle of the mud season on February 6. Don’t forget that online advice does not always know the on-the-ground reality. The quest to save time finally ended with a hopelessly stuck vehicle in Deadman Canyon, of all places. After spending a cold night in the truck, the pair hiked six miles in the wrong direction before they found a cell signal and were able to call for help. After waiting a day for conditions to dry and for the early morning cold to stiffen the mud, it took several hours of work before Monticello’s Mud Team Six – including Paul and Michelle Sonderegger, Terrell Slade, Helaman Tate, Todd Westcott, and Todd Adair – were able to dig out the stuck vehicle.

Madaster is the online library of information on materials and products. For registered buildings and infrastructure objects, our platform provides insight into the materials and products used and their location, as well as their impact on circularity and the environment. By thus providing these materials with an identity, we create awareness and understanding and make reuse easier, reduce waste and minimise the impact on our environment. In this way, Madaster is working towards a circular construction industry. Select page Material passport Madaster Circularity Index Insight in CO2 storage Automated enhancement Public data register Complying with legislation Material passport Madaster Circularity Index Insight in CO2 storage Automated enhancement Public data register Complying with legislation Material passport Using Madaster to register all the materials and products that are incorporated in a building or infrastructure object, you are automatically creating a unique material passport for that building or object. This passport always shows exactly which materials and products are included, as well as their impact on circularity and the environment, and the potential residual value they represent. To automatically create such a passport, all you need to do is upload the BIM (IFC) or Excel document in Madaster. Madaster Circularity Index Madaster offers more than mere static data. It also shows the circular value of materials and how they are applied within the objects. Madaster also takes account of the degree of disassemblage of all the components and products. In this way, it forms the circularity index that indicates the circular character of a certain object. In addition, Madaster also offers its users the data and insights needed to further increase circularity. Insight in CO2 storage Madaster will show you how much CO2, or embodied carbon, an object contains. The presence of toxic substances is also recorded. This information can be updated, automatically, whenever there are changes to the object, such as in cases of renovation. Madaster can also serve as a tool that can be consulted for demolition purposes. By reusing the materials, you also ‘reuse’ their CO2 storage, which is an important focal point of circular construction. Automated enhancement Madaster contains large amounts of data with which your input will be automatically enhanced. It is a source of own data, data from producers and from publicly available sources, such as the Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). Madaster forms a linked data platform where you can accurately register and enhance your buildings and infrastructure objects. Public data register For each registered object, Madaster creates a user environment filled with information. Madaster can also be used as a public register, in which case the platform retrieves all available information on a certain area, such as the types of materials used and their quantities. Madaster can also predict what other materials are likely to be present, to provide an estimation for the entire selected area. Madaster users can decide whether or not they want to add their own uploaded data to the public register. Complying with legislation Madaster actively keeps track of the rules and regulations for sustainable and circular construction. If there are any changes, we adapt the information on our platform. In this way, Madaster will always show you whether you are complying with the latest regulations and you can always use this information to demonstrate compliance to various bodies. This is what Madaster looks like In Madaster, you create a digital twin, or digital copy, of a building or other construction object, which provides a clear overview of the materials used in it, the amount of CO2 these materials contain and the extent to which they could be reused. Contact The material passport Many companies are looking for ways to create material passports. In Madaster, this is easy. You only need to upload a BIM (IFC) or Excel document. Madaster automatically enhances these data into a complete passport that offers you a wealth of information and insights.

That day when I was watching SATC probably for the n th time, I was wondering about my insecure college days. We used to be a group of five in our medical college and we all were single and hopelessly romantic. We were waiting for our Prince Charming to arrive and sweep us off our feet just like the women in SATC wished! The only difference? We were just twenty while they were mid thirties! Over the years we all have settled down. I was the first one to tie the knot followed by all of them. I fell in love and now have a daughter too. Similarly one of my best friends has also been blessed with a daughter while the rest are yet to be visited by the stork! We are lucky in the eyes of conventionally thinking people. However I am friends with a lot of independent, high earning girls in their 30s who are single. Some of them are waiting for their Prince Charming while some are happily single. I totally support the concept of being happy whether committed or not. For all those who are in search of love and are sad about it should remember that 'The most important relationship is the one which we have with oneself''. I don't want to sound narcissistic but its Yoga which has given us this teaching. Remember Charlotte's immortal words? Maybe our friends are soulmates and guys are just to have fun with? Not everyone can be happy at all the time. Problems are a part of life. Whatever the setbacks may be, we should always look forward and celebrate life! There are so many things which you can do for the joy of being alive....cook a nice meal for yourself/ family/ friends, decorate your home or plan a fun photoshoot! While I usually don't talk about cooking here (though I am a passionate cook), I will share which I do best..taking pictures! Here's what all you need for a fun photoshoot: 1. Balloons: Any celebration or photoshoot is incomplete without balloons. Find tonnes of balloons here. 2. Party props: You can use masks, bunny ears and a whole lot of things to make your pictures beautiful. Find them here

In 2012, the ascending aortic aneurysm was coincidentally picked up from a mammogram MRI. It was 4.0 cm at that time and have been getting echo cardiograms every year for follow ups. Fast forward to March 2018, echo showed size increase to 4.5 cm and cardiologist gave me the dreaded talk "it is time to consider elective surgery". Unfortunately aneurysm extends into the aortic arch. I have no symptoms. Was told that since aneurysms are silent killers, and once pain begins abruptly, it becomes an emergency crisis with bad outcomes. I am small at 5 feet tall and the 4.5 cm size puts me into the danger zone. Fortunately, all my valves are ok and the aortic valve is normal trileaflet. I am very worried about surgery since I have other issues which may put me at a higher risk for OHS. I have Sjogrens Syndrome, whereby your immune system attacks parts of your body by mistake, specifically the glands that make tears and saliva thus causing extreme dry eyes and dry mouth. It also affects connective tissues, joints, muscles and cause fatigue. Also allergic to Iodine x-ray contrast dye media. Will get heart cath in a couple of weeks. A grave concern is my sensitivity to antibiotics producing bad yeast infections, which in itself takes 4-6 weeks to resolve. I am desperately reaching out to this community for any experiences similar to my medical issues along with OHS. I am usually an outgoing bubbly type person, but now fear and anxiety have taken over me with brain fog.

The problem is most likely with your WsusPool in IIS 7.x. Open the IIS 7 Manager and go to Application Pools. Then double-click the WsusPool. The .Net framework version should be set to v2.0.50727 (mine was set to unmanaged). Make certain all settings, including .Net Framework version, are set to what you see here: Click OK then restart IIS 7. Your WSUS console should connect now. I have seen this problem come up after fresh installs. Apparently the installer does not set this setting correctly sometimes. James Share this: Twitter Facebook Like this: Like Loading...

I would be remis not to share here. On flight number 3 which happened yesterday, I got the cops called on me. Seems as though someone thought I was a drone. The cops called the tower and they told them I was nothing to worry about, and that’s as far as it got. I think it’s pretty funny that the Garaggio-Ez is already causing a ruckus. Today I intended on flying again, but the weather skunked that plan. It was 5-7sm visibility all day and 1200 Overcast. While it was legally VFR, I didn’t feel it wise to go out and scud run with a new airplane that still is operating in a relatively small envelope and an engine that is still being broken in. Instead I removed the cowl again and did an inspection. I found a small oil leak coming from the vernatherm. The grand total of appreciable leakage from this area so far with 5 hours on the airplane (over 6 on the engine) was two drops that migrated to the bottom of an engine mount tube. You can see that the area just under the vernatherm (grey hex that I’m pointing to) is wet. I cleaned up the area and figured I would deal with this small nuisance when I change the oil. (I was figuring I would have to remove it and thus had to drain oil.) But since then I have learned that there is a copper crush gasket and according to some people the Lycoming sugguested torque is too little for a good seal. Next time the cowl is off I think I may snip the safety wire and snug it another 1/4-1/2 turn and see if that solves it. Other than that, the inspection proved uneventful. I did, however, decide that I wanted to move the rudder cable linkages to the next tighter position to compensate for rudder stretch. They are a little tight now and the rudder is slightly out of neutral. But a minimum of pressure is required to center them. Aerodynamic loads certainly will center them, and my guess is the cables aren’t done stretching. We shall see.

There has been a total of 307 mass shootings in the United States in 2017. Since 1966, there have been over 900 mass killings. Hannah Hill, Author November 8, 2017 In the midst of another shooting in America, the 307th this year to be exact, many Americans are left scared, confused and searching for answers. One topic that always arises after acts of gun violence occur is the debate over gun control. Considering the recent spike in gun violence and public shootings in the United States, I’m completely clueless as to why the government has done nothing to prevent more shootings from occurring. How many more schools, movie theaters, nightclubs and places of worship are going to be targeted before someone in Congress realizes action needs to be taken and, if it is, it has the potential to remedy America’s gun epidemic. The first issue that needs to be addressed is the fact that guns laws are far too lax. While the National Rifle Association has certain restrictions against who can and can’t own a firearm, states still have the power to overturn those laws and create their own. In certain states, you don’t even need a permit to own a gun. Other states allow anyone to carry a weapon in public. Laws like this enable more violence to occur because anyone could have access to a gun. After mass shootings occurred in the United Kingdom and Australia, both countries decided to take action to ban assault rifles and handguns, while also tightening background checks to make it more difficult for regular citizens to own guns and ammunition. As a result, both countries have a significantly lower gun homicide rate than the U.S. After these shootings occur, many Congressmen will do press conferences and go on social media to give the victims and their families “thoughts and prayers”. Although this is a kind gesture, it won’t change anything or make the situation any better. Instead of giving grieving people empty condolences, why can’t they take a step back and see the issue at hand so something can be done to assure another act of tragedy never happens again. To me it seems as though many who are pro-gun write off mass shooting incidents occur because the shooter has mental health issues. While mental health is an important issue and I’m not saying that couldn’t be truth, maybe these acts of violence wouldn’t have occurred if these people didn’t have such easy access to handguns and assault rifles. After 307 shootings have left the United States torn, I think it’s finally time our government takes a look at the issue present and realize these incidences aren’t a mental health problem, it’s a gun problem. If nothing is done, these acts of violence will keep occurring. It’s almost as though America cares more about its guns than its people.

A Shelley, Westminster pattern, ring mould. This design of mould is perfect for moulding either a sweet dessert, or a savoury ring, when you want to fill the centre with something else. Why not try moulding a ring of coconut rice and filling the centre with Thai curry, or a ring of a fruit jelly with a centre filled with whipped vanilla cream. This one is marked, in green print, ’Shelley’ in a shield, above ‘ENGLAND’ and it dates from c.1920. This is one of the designs that Shelley named after London hotels and it was made in two different sizes. It is in excellent condition.

Over 1020 new security vulnerabilities have been published since the start of November. Which means that this month alone, there are now over 1020 new ways for an attacker to compromise an environment. This number is growing by the day, and only includes the number of actually identified vulnerabilities. There are, of course, many more that lie dormant or camouflaged, that are yet to be identified. In fact, according to PandaLabs, ‘230,000 new malware samples are produced every day — and this is predicted to only keep growing’. To cripple a business, it only takes one vulnerability to be successfully exploited by a bad actor. And, with IBM claiming that the average cost of lost business due to a successful attack is $1.42 million, inattentiveness towards security measures should not be taken lightly. Following the emergence of a real-life example from one of SecurityHQ’s clients, this blog is intended to highlight and question how long it takes most businesses to identify vulnerabilities on public facing and/or internal assets. And how this time can be shortened, so that threats are identified and addressed before they become a problem. Real-Life Example Analysis In a recent engagement, SecurityHQ reviewed the Vulnerability Management program for a large client based in the Middle East. During the analysis period, it was observed that the vulnerability scans on public facing assets were taking over four weeks to complete. This was due to the staggered nature of the scan schedule. Breakdown of the Numbers There were 1890 public IP addresses in this particular scan schedule. The client was launching 1×12-hour scan per week (resuming after 6 days until all 1890 IPs were scanned). The two external vulnerability scanners could only scan on average 410 IPs each scan. The total scanning time required to scan all 1890 IP addresses was 51 hours (4.25 weeks). Taking the example above, let us assume that you have a schedule scan that runs once a week to scan public facing IPs. This is a huge security risk, and here is a simple illustration to explain why. Say that ‘Asset A’ is scanned at the very beginning of the scheduled scan, say on the 1st of November 2020. Say also that there were no new vulnerabilities identified. As a result, this asset is now marked as scanned, and it will be scanned again in four weeks’ time, once the scan cycle for the scheduled scan has completed. The very next day, on the 2nd of November, a high severity vulnerability is published which impacts ‘Asset A’, leaving it vulnerable to compromise. Without specifically scanning ‘Asset A’ before the next scheduled scan, the next time this vulnerability would be detected would be in four weeks’ time, at the start of the next scheduled scan. Even when regularly scanned, it quickly becomes apparent how vulnerable systems actually still are. And, if left undetected, and thus unpatched, assets are left particularly vulnerable to compromise, and the +1020 new developing threats from this month. What is the Risk of Default Credentials? Default credentials are a specific vulnerability in which pre-set administrative access is configured within the settings of applications, routers, switches, and other appliances. Default credentials used by applications and appliances are often published on the internet. This can be a big problem. Say, for instance, your organisation becomes compromised, say on the 1st of November as presented in the example above. An attacker will typically first scan your network to see where they can move next. The results of the scan will help the attacker to identify information like what ports are open in your network, along with any detected vulnerabilities. If an attacker was auspicious enough to identify applications or appliances with default credentials enabled, it won’t take them long to hunt on the internet for these published credentials. This is why it is crucial that companies do not default of password security. Often, the responsible teams can forget to disable default credentials, or they leave them enabled for convenience, which leaves organisations vulnerable to compromise. To learn how to maintain password protocols, and to ensure that default credentials will not risk your security, read our list of recommendations and mitigations here. What Did We Do for Our Client? In this particular instance, we were able to determine that the existing 51-hour total scan time could easily be achieved in a simple 12×5 scanning window (12 hours, 5 days per week). This enabled our client to greatly benefit on two levels: A 5-day scan cycle meant that all vulnerabilities on all public facing assets will be known, and can be acted on, within a maximum of 5 days, rather than four weeks. A new 60-hour scan window allows space for growth and for more aggressive scans, that may require more time, to completed. What You Should Do The first thing is to understand the size of your scan and how long it is currently taking your team to complete a full scan cycle. You can start with public facing assets first, as these can be considered most at risk of compromise. Once your scan size is understood, you should review your current scan cycle and look to decrease the time taken to scan all assets.

Marketing tips based on 20 years of experience, working with hundreds of businesses, by McDougall Interactive. 877-623-4291 Home Blog Marketing Podcasts About Us Work With Us 7 Trendsetting Content Marketing Trends to Build Authority in 2018 February 8, 2018 by John McDougall A 2017 joint report from Content Marketing Institute (CMI) and MarketingProfs revealed that 60% of B2B marketers found their content marketing strategies were more effective than the previous year. To maintain that growth, both B2B and B2C marketers need to remain vigilant in the ever changing world of content marketing. It’s hard, I know, but keep your chin up and your pen down. Some say organic content marketing is doomed because of video and Facebook’s ‘pay to play’ method of business, but really it’s just a matter of adapting to new trends. What worked in 2017 may not work in 2018, after all. So to that effect, here’s a list of trends that will affect the world of content marketing this year. The Rise of Retargeted ads, Voice-Accessible Content and other Content Marketing Trends 1. Consumers Expect Transparency Do you know the saying, “People don’t want to be sold to”? It’s true, especially for millennials. America’s biggest group of consumers are tired of advertisements, pushy or not. They want companies to be authentic and transparent in everything they do. Some already see charitable contributions, corporate social responsibility gimmicks, and environmental friendly claims as another way for brands to promote themselves. Nielsen’s Global Trust in Advertising Survey clearly shows what consumers trust now. As you can see, word of mouth referral or recommendations from friends still rank number one. “Consumer opinions posted online” or reviews, rank number two at 66% in North America. These trends will continue well into 2018. That’s why businesses, big and small, need to increase their efforts in being transparent with their customers. Be honest with product failures or problems. Don’t wait for it to blow up in your face after several customers rant online. 2. Continued Rise of Audio and Video Plus Emerging Content Formats Video content is one of the big winners last year, as more marketers learned how to shoot and edit videos more affordably. More businesses and solopreneurs jumped into livestreaming, too. Podcasting is still popular as well, and shows no signs of being a direct competition in video’s share of audience. This year, however, will not just bring us more videos and podcasts. It will continue the spread of new content formats like smart chatbots and voice-accessible content. Alexa and Google Home were mainly used to command other IoT appliances before. Now, they can be used to play content. Examples: CPR Instructions from American Heart Association Ask Purina allows you to ask questions about pets WebMD allows you to ask health-related questions 3. Less Publishing, Better Stories Orbit Media’s latest annual survey revealed that bloggers are publishing less frequently than they did in the years before. Bloggers publish less but spend more time on each post. The same report shows that bloggers spent 39% more time on one post than they did in 2014. So don’t be scared of writing lengthy, more in-depth posts. 4. Livestream Rules Facebook confirmed that people spend 3x more time watching livestream videos than pre-recorded videos. Their data also shows that users comment up to 10 times more on live videos. Live videos work for almost any niche, not just for recipes and travel. Product sellers can give a demo of their product on live video, so they can show users how it works in real-time while answering questions that come up. You can also take people on a behind-the-scenes trip to your company, to see how you get things done. 5. Written Content Still Fuels the Customer’s Journey Of course, the rise of videos doesn’t mean the written word is dead. In fact, the need for written content is embedded even more in different aspects of the customer’s journey. Just think about it, almost every type of content you need at different stages of the funnel needs written content. Infographics Social media posts Lead magnets Email marketing Landing pages Articles and blog posts White papers Videos – script and subtitles Podcasts PPC – ad headlines and descriptions And for Advanced SEO, topic clusters with super in depth text content are kicking ass right now for our agency. 6. Remarketing is Booming Remarketing, or showing previous visitors ads of your products and services on different websites or apps, is becoming popular. Having a Facebook Pixel on your website, for instance, gives you the ability to track how your audience interacts with your website, so you can then use the data gathered to show them the right ads. Remarketing also works in Google Adwords. This hardly comes as a surprise, as it’s been documented that 87% of consumers use more than one device simultaneously. Marketers and publishers use remarketing as a way to adapt to this relatively new viewing habit. Instead of just reaching a consumer once or twice, they do it multiple times on different platforms and gadgets. It may sound tedious but data from Salesforce shows it takes up to six to eight touch points to qualify a lead. Of course, better leads are informed and further along in the buyer’s journey than a customer who’s only seen one of your ads or marketing materials, so that’s one reason it works. Data from a ComScore study shows that retargeting ads can lead to as much as 726% increase in site visits after a month of seeing retargeted ads, so it must be worth the effort. 7. Use of Voice and Natural Language in Search Grows Gartner predicts we’ll no longer need keyboards to search online soon. Voice search already comprise about 20% of Google’s search volume on mobile devices last 2016. ComScore expects this number to balloon up to 50% in 2020. What does this mean for content marketers and SEO? They have to find a way to optimize their content for voice and natural language apps, like Siri, Cortana, or Google Assistant. In essence, this means optimizing for how people talk, and how they might ask questions when looking for information online. Get out of your comfort zone The new year, for me, isn’t just about resolutions. It’s about trying new things to get out of your comfort zone and see how else your existing processes can be improved. Try one of these trends here and see how it works out for you. Which content marketing trends will you try?

Rugby World Cup Sevens 2022 is almost here. In less than 48 hours, DHL Stadium in Cape Town will be packed full of fans enjoying a unique spectacle. New Zealand arrive as defending champions in both the men’s and women’s tournaments, but they know they have their work cut out if they are to hold onto their crowns. Ahead of Friday’s big kick-off, the World Rugby site noted players to watch in Cape Town this weekend. Most notable are the players from Oceania: Alowesi Nakoci (Fiji), Corey Toole (Australia), and Michaela Blyde (New Zealand). Alowesi Nakoci (Fiji) Should Alowesi Nakoci make her RWC Sevens debut in Cape Town this weekend, it will cap a remarkable recovery for the Olympic bronze medallist. Nakoci was hospitalised in June after she was stabbed while trying to stop an argument between two people in a Suva suburb. She subsequently missed the Commonwealth Games but has returned to the Fijiana squad for the showpiece tournament in South Africa. Nakoci had been in prolific form in the 2022 Series, scoring 23 tries – including 15 in her last 12 appearances of the campaign. Corey Toole (Australia) Corey Toole’s debut season on the men’s Series could not have gone any better had he planned it himself. Toole’s 43 tries in 2022 were second only to Kennedy, and helped Australia claim a first ever men’s Series title. He ended the campaign as both the Series Rookie of the Year and the DHL Impact Player and was unsurprisingly rewarded with a place in the HSBC Dream Team. The 22-year-old will hope to carry that form into Cape Town, where he should make his RWC Sevens debut. Australia have been drawn to play either Hong Kong or Uruguay in the round of 16. Michaela Blyde (New Zealand) Electric winger Michaela Blyde scored nine tries, including two hat-tricks, as the Black Ferns Sevens won RWC Sevens 2018 in San Francisco. Three of those tries came in the 29-0 defeat of France in the final, and four years on she is showing no signs of slowing down. New Zealand returned to take part in the final two women’s tournaments of the 2022 Series and Blyde crossed the whitewash an incredible 15 times in only 12 appearances. She followed that up with 11 tries in five appearances, including six in one match against Sri Lanka, at the Commonwealth Games at Coventry Stadium as the Black Ferns Sevens finished third.

On June 29, 2012 the third annual BrickFlix Film Festival was held at The Carolina Theatre of Durham. The BrickFlix Film Festival was founded in 2010, as part of the first annual BrickMagic LEGO convention. Held at the historic Carolina Theatre in Durham, North Carolina, the festival is the first of it’s kind – showcasing LEGO movies where they should be seen – on the big screen! There were two showings of the film festival. The first one was at 7pm and was an All Ages Screening. The second took place at 9pm and was a 16+ Screening. The playlists for both screenings are available here: In between the two showings was a Q and A session with David Pagano of Paganomation and Christian Colglazier of AquaMorph Productions. BrickFlix was an amazing event and I would highly recommend going next year.

I knew that bushfire danger was one of the downsides of living in the Blue Mountains, but I didn't expect to be worrying about it in my very first summer here. There have been fires burning in unpopulated areas of the mountains for about a week now. Now it's hot and dry and windy and the fires are moving closer to towns. Most recently, I heard that there are two new spotfires not far from Linden, which is the neighbouring town to Faulconbridge, where I live. I'll be taking the day off tomorrow, so that I'll be close by - just in case. My main worry is that even if the main fire doesn't get really close, there's still a chance of an ember attack. Hopefully it will be fairly quiet and the winds will change (for the better) and things will be fine. 4:30 pm update: It looks as if the particular spotfire I was most worried about has been waterbombed and contained. That's a relief for the time being, but until the winds change, there's a chance other spotfires will develop. Posted at 04:00 PM in Personal | Permalink | Comments (3) | TrackBack (0) Reblog (0) November 17, 2006 music in sweatshops, music for sweating An interesting co-incidence just happened. I had just finished reading Naomi Klein's book, No Logo. "[A] select group of corporations has been attempting to free itself from the corporeal world of commodities, manufacturing and products to exist on another plane. Anyone can manufacture a product, they reason ... Such menial tasks, therefore, can and should be farmed out to contractors and subcontractors whose only concern is filling the order on time ... Headquarters, meanwhile, is free to focus on the real business at hand - creating a corporate mythology powerful enough to infuse meaning into these raw products just by signing its name. [Klein, N. (2000). No Logo: No Space, No Choice, No Jobs. London: Flamingo, p. 22] This is one of the central themes of the book. It looks at how companies like Nike, to name one obvious example, positioned itself not just as a maker of shoes but as a sports company with a mission to "enhance people's lives through sports and fitness." The book later explored how the inevitable consequence of this ideology was the development of sweatshop factories in developing countries. Naomi Klein describes the brand-name multinationals as: [V]ery picky customers, with specific instructions about made-to-order designs, materials, delivery dates and, most important, the need for rock-bottom prices. But what they are not interested in is the burdensome logistics of how those prices got so low; building factories, buying machinery and budgeting for labor have all been lobbed squarely into somebody else's court. (p. 202, author's italics) The book then reviews some of the sweatshop scandals which erupted in the late 1990s. The strength of corporate brands was also its achilles heel which could be exploited by juxtaposing the brand's image with the conditions in which the product is made. How could a company supposedly dedicated to enhancing people's lives through sports and fitness charge $120 for a pair of shoes which cost them $5 in conditions such as these Workers fined if they refuse to work overtime; overtime rate not paid; ... humiliation, screaming, some corporal punishment; arbitrary fining of pregnant women and older (25 years old and up) women; fines if talking at work; approximately 10 children in the sewing section; most workers have never heard of Nike's Code of Conduct. (p. 474) Eventually most companies caught up in these scandals apologized, and enacted voluntary codes of conduct to stamp out these abuses. All along they have wanted to change the topic, to stop us from talking about how their products are made. I think that to a certain extent, they succeeded. Sweatshops and abusive labour practices by these companies seems old news now. I wonder, is that because the problem has really been fixed, as I'm sure that the PR departments of these corporations would all claim, or did they eventually succeed in changing the topic of conversation back to why they're such cool companies and why we would want to buy their things. Tonight's not the night for me to look into whether things really have improved or not, but I am definitely curious to explore more recent works on this topic. Now, to return to my coincidence. I finished reading No Logo tonight on the train. Shortly after arriving home, I noticed the Nike swoosh logo in the iTunes Music Store~. Nike is making music for sports and exercise now. Think of this 45-minute continuous electronic music mix as a soundtrack for sport. It follows the arc of a typical distance run, carrying you through an easy warm-up, increasing in pitch as you start to own the road, peaking with a high-energy pay off and then coming back down to earth for a well-deserved cool-down. The interesting thing is that Nike is using a similar production model for its music as it does with its shoes. Commission somebody else to create the music and use the brand to sell it. In this instance, the artist is known - James Murphy / LCD Soundsystem. If this idea takes off, I'm sure that gradually the identity of the artist will become less important when compared with the brand. Corporate-created music reminded me of something from my own experience of working in a multinational. During my time at the Vodafone call centre, the company introduced Radio Vodafone (if I recall the name correctly after these two years). It was a selection of upbeat songs intermixed with the occasional Vodafone ad and corporate propaganda. It played at an unusual volume. Not so loud that it would distract from phone conversations or that you would really start listening to it, but not so soft that you couldn't hear it at all. It was always there in the background. Later on I learned that it was designed to increase our productivity and morale.
