Sparking Innovation with Improv

Innovation Graphic1.jpg
Where does innovation come from? Everyone likes to think they’re innovative. For the few that don’t feel they are, it’s often the focus of what they’re striving for. At Improv Effects, we hear it all the time: “We want to be more innovative.”

How much does improvisation even tie into the process of innovation? More than you’d think, but not necessarily for the reason you’d think.

When considering where innovation comes from, it’s important to identify what innovation is. There may not be a scientifically identified innovation molecule, but we like the definition put forth by entrepreneur and Stanford professor Tina Seelig, who tackles both questions with the following definition:

  • Innovation is the application of creativity to solve a problem.

  • Creativity is the application of imagination.

  • Imagination is the ability to envision things that don’t exist.

While that theory may shed some light on the roots of innovation, it raises an equally baffling question: where does imagination come from? She’s got an answer, and it falls right in line with what improvisors do every time they rehearse or take the stage. It’s also a big part of what Improv Effects coaches in many of our workshops: engagement.

Finding the root of engagement is easy: it’s just spending the energy to share an idea, ask a question or start a conversation with another person. Easy, right?

Maybe not.

Engagement involves risk, vulnerability and uncertainty. It takes stepping out of our comfort zones. It doesn’t help that many of us have work spaces designed to keep others out, be it cubicles or closed offices. Engagement includes sharing ideas with people even when they may not be fully formed and supporting others when they do the same. It includes having coffee or lunch with someone that you don’t usually meet with even when there’s no defined outcome. It includes asking questions about other people’s interests and finding ways to relate to those interests or at least be curious about them.

A big part of what engagement does is disrupt the norm. People place such a premium on thinking outside the box, but repeat their same habits every day: talking to the same people, about the same things, in the same places.

This disruption is a big part of what sparks improvisors’ imaginations on stage. We can take the stage with plot fully developed in our heads, but when an audience suggestion is shouted out that has nothing to do with our plans, we have to quickly change gears and explore this new thought. Because improvisors don’t know what their scene partners are about to say, they have to be ready for the disruption. However - and here’s one of the great improv techniques for imagination by engagement - the disruption does not mean the original thought has to be completely abandoned. The scene can be informed by both ideas.

If one improvisor takes the stage with the idea that he or she is a farmer but, before getting a chance to initiate a scene based on that idea, their scene partner says, “Who would have thought a trip to the moon could be this much fun?” The performer planning on farming must obviously acknowledge the fact that they are on the moon. He or she could never say, “We’re not on the moon, we’re on a farm.” However, the performer could incorporate both ideas and say, “You know, a little vegetable patch right there and a couple of dairy cows and I can see making a life for ourselves here. We'll know when to pick our crops when we see the Harvest Earth!”

Now you’ve got a shared idea. No idea was rejected, and no one had to fully abandon their own ideas. In this example, the improvisor just found a way to make an immediate collaboration. And ultimately, isn’t a scene about a farm on the moon more interesting than one that’s just about a farm or a visit to the moon? The improvisors disrupted each others trains of thought enough to come up with a new, shared idea.

Get people engaged and their imaginations will be sparked. Support their imagination and you will get creativity. Find ways to tie their creativity into your objectives and you will get innovation.

Looking for more innovation in your organization’s culture. Try these approaches:

  • Invite people to brainstorm sessions that don’t traditional attend.

  • Find ways to get people to eat lunch with people they usually don’t eat with.

  • Promote a culture of support and encouragement. “No ideas are bad ideas, they’re just not fully formed ideas.”

Nothing s more dangerous than drinking water in plastic bottles!
Impact of drinking water in plastic bottles

We store water in all sorts of plastic bottles, jugs or containers. It can be low grade or high grade, but plastic is plastic! This is a very harmful daily practice as plastic containers carry lot of chemicals and bacteria.

Let s see the harmful effects of drinking water in plastic bottles:

1. Harmful substances: Apart from harmful chemicals in plastic, water when get stored in plastic bottles also produces harmful substances like fluoride, arsenic and aluminium which can be poison for human body. So, drinking water from plastic bottles would mean drinking slow poison that will slowly and steadily deteriorate your health.

2. Dioxin production: Plastic does melt in hot environment. And we, often store water in plastic bottles while driving and so many times leave it in the car where it is in the direct exposure of sun. Such heating releases a toxin called Dioxin which when consumed can accelerate breast cancer.

3. BPA generation: Biphenyl A is an estrogen-mimicking chemical which can lead to lot of health problems like diabetes, obesity, fertility problems, behavioural problems and early puberty in girls. It s better not to store and drink water from a plastic bottle.

4. Liver cancer and reduced sperm count: Because of presence of a chemical called phthalates in plastic, drinking water from plastic bottles can also lead to liver cancer and reduction in sperm count.

5. Vitamin based bottled water: Nowadays, we get water mostly in plastic bottles and to increase its health content, manufacturers make it vitamin-enriched to attract buyers. But this is even more harmful as it carries health-harming additives like food dyes and high fructose corn syrup.

6. Impact on immune system: Our immune system is immensely affected when we drink water in plastic bottles. The chemicals from plastic bottles are ingested and tend to disturb our body s immune system.

Vitamin D Deficiency - 6 Signs That You are Suffering from it

General Physician, Jalgaon
Vitamin D Deficiency - 6 Signs That You are Suffering from it
Vitamin D is a crucial vitamin that is soluble in fat. Vitamin D is essential for the growth of your bone and it ensures increased flow of calcium into your bloodstream by promoting the process of its absorption from the consumed food. Poor concentration of vitamin D may result in the development of rickets in children and osteoporosis in adults. Vitamin D is important in maintaining the immunity of your system; deficiency of vitamin D gives rise to a number of health problems including cardiac disorders, arthritis, hypertension, diabetes and even cancer.

Daily exposure to mild sunlight helps to synthesize Vitamin D in body. Dietary sources include milk, cod liver oils, fish, meat, fortified dairy and food products.

The most reliable way to diagnose the deficiency of vitamin D is through blood test; it is the most effective method of measuring the level of vitamin D in your blood. The following are some dominant symptoms of vitamin D deficiency:

Influenza: According to studies, vitamin D acts a guard against the attack of a number of respiratory infections which are widespread in children. Hence, lack of vitamin D in children is responsible for the development of various respiratory tract infections and diseases.
Depression and Schizophrenia: The root cause of depression and various other psychiatric disorders have been linked to deficiency in vitamin D. It is extremely important for expecting mothers to maintain a sufficient level of vitamin D in their body, during the gestation period to reduce the risk of delayed brain development and other mental ailments in the new born babies.
Cardiovascular disease: Cardiovascular ailments are more prevalent among people, who tend to suffer from vitamin D deficiency. Patients who suffer from cardiac discomfort have responded well to vitamin D treatment.
Asthma: Intake of vitamin D supplements reduces the severity and discomforts that are associated with asthma and have also shown considerable reduction in the occurrence of asthma attacks.
Periodontal disorders: Lack of vitamin D may result in the formation of numerous harmful bacteria in your mouth and may give rise to several oral discomforts in form of painful gum inflammation, bleeding and loss of tooth. Vitamin D aids in the formation of cathelicidins and defensins, which are effective in maintaining the overall oral health.
Cancer: Types of cancer including prostate cancer, breast cancer and colon cancer are linked with Vitamin D deficiency. Supplements of vitamin D are helpful in controlling the growth and development of breast cancer, especially the estrogen sensitive breast cancer.

Family History of Cancer? - Opt for a Preventive Health Check
The rising incidences of cancer have made it important for us to be vigilant about our health. It has been proven medically that if cancer is detected at an early stage -stage I & II , then the chances of cure and treatment along with full recovery are very high. For early cancer detection & for people at greater risk of cancer, PHC-Preventive Health Care plays a major role. Preventive Health Check is particularly important for the people who have a family history of cancer.

Hereditary Cancers:

Almost all cancers are caused by damage or mutation in their genes, which, may be acquired from environmental exposure, dietary factors, hormones or through normal aging. In 90% of cases, these genes are not passed from parents to children. These are known as sporadic mutations and the cancers that they cause are called as sporadic cancers. But 5-10% of cancers are caused by gene mutations which are inherited from one or both parents & passed on to the children .These are hereditary or germline mutations & these cancers are known as hereditary or familial cancers.

People /children, who carry gene mutations have a higher risk of developing cancer at an earlier age or at some point in their life time.

Some of the common such cancers, which run in families, are:

Breast cancer
Ovarian cancer
Colo-rectal cancer (cancer of large intestine )
Prostate cancer
Breast, ovary & colo-rectal carcinoma have well established gene mutation studies.Mutation of BRCA 1 & BRCA2 Genes is responsible for 85% of hereditary breast cancers.

Estimated life time risk for developing breast cancer in woman with BRCA1 & BRCA2 mutation is 56-87% & risk for developing-bilateral /contralatral breast cancer is about 20-40%. These statistics make a preventive health check for women with breast cancer history in their family a necessity. Mutation in these genes confers about 20-40% increased life time risk for developing ovarian cancer. Hence the presence of gene mutation for breast cancer can trigger ovarian cancer.

However as stated above, other environmental and lifestyle factors can also cause breast cancer other than genetic BRCA1 & BRCA 2 gene mutations.

Increasing age
Early menarche
Late menopause
First birth after the age of 30
Atypical lobular hyperplasia or Atypical ductal hyperplasia
Prior breast biopsies
Long term postmenopausal estiogen replacement
Early exposure to ionizing radiation
Other Familial Cancers:

Familial cancer syndromes associated with colo-rectal cancers are familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP).It is an autosomal dominant inherited syndrome with more than 90% penetrance, manifested by hundreds of polyps developed by late adolescence .The risk of developing invasive cancer is almost 100% .So such patients should start getting colonoscopy at an earlier age- say by 20yr of age & should undergo Total Collectomy on development of significant polyps .

Other familial cancer syndromes are hereditary non -Polyposis Colo Rectal Cancer (HNPCC), Gardner's Syndrome, Turcot's Syndrome, Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome, Juvenile Polyposis.

Cancer Assessment & Conclusion:

For breast cancer risk assessment, we have the GAIL model & IBIS model, which take into consideration ,all the risk factors, apart from BRCA1 & BRCA 2 gene mutation. These models calculate the over all life time risk of development of breast cancer for any lady. For this, you have to consult a specialist experienced in area of hereditary cancers, cancer risk assessment, genetic counseling & testing.

To conclude, all people with cancers in their family should undergo genetic testing & counseling, to detect high risk individuals should take adequate measures & treatment.

Pain In Testicles - Signs, Causes & Treatment

Sexologist, Haldwani
Pain In Testicles - Signs, Causes & Treatment
Pain in the testicles is something that every male would have experienced at some point of time in their lives. It could be due to an injury, or a medical condition. Experiencing pain due to sports injuries is also common. It is a pain that occurs in the testicles and some cases it can be on both the testicles. Sometimes the pain originates from a different region of the abdomen and the spasms are felt in the testicles. Let us have a look at some of the causes and the treatment plans for such pain.

Testicle pain can be due to many causes. The testicles are round sacs and are extremely sensitive, and even a minor injury can cause bouts of pain or discomfort. In some instances, the problem arises from the groin region. In other cases, it could be an aftermath of pain that arises elsewhere. One of the common causes can be due to varicocele. This something that is similar to the varicose veins that occur in the leg. Once the veins get enlarged within the skin bags, it can push the testicles outwards- thus resulting in pain. They can also affect the sperm production and the shrinkage of testicles.

Pain in the testicle region and area could be due to diabetes, nerve damage, and side effects of a drug, gangrene, inflammation in the blood in the testicular region, kidney stones, mumps, testicular cancer, and vasectomy. Varicocele can develop over a period and in some rare cases do not require any treatment at all. In most of the cases, testicular pain can be due to a result of a direct injury. A sports injury or an accident in the groin area can cause pain and discomfort.

When to see a doctor?

Severe testicular pain or sudden discomfort in the abdomen region are indications of a testicular disease and seek medical attention immediately in such cases. Varicocele is usually associated with sharp bouts of pain that comes and goes away. Also, it is more prone in the left side testicles. A twisted testicle is also an indication that the blood does not flow freely and can result in loss of blood supply. These conditions require immediate medical attention. Please check with your doctor if you have any swelling in the scrotum and if you have the symptoms of veins protruding out abnormally. A diagnosis can be easily done by a testicular ultrasound. Check out your sperm production levels too and get medical guidance in case of irregularity.

Self- care:

Experts believe that almost 60% of the testicular pains are because of a direct result of physical injury. If you are a sports person, always ensure that you have proper protection when playing the game. The same goes for driving too. Also, avoid garments that are extremely tight in the groin region as this can cut off the blood supply. Varicoceles usually do not require any medical treatment as in some cases the conditions diminish on its own. In some cases, you might be requiring surgery to treat the veins and get them back to normalcy. Do indulge only in safe sexual practices to minimize chances of STD s and other sexually transmitted infections. Even these can affect the pain in your testicles. You can also try over-the-counter medications in case of minor to medium pain. Testicular pain usually decreases on its own in many cases. In case the pain does not subsidize even after a week, check with your doctor and seek medical attention.

You can also take this Varicocele package to treat this problem without surgery.

Radish Greens - You Will Never Throw Them Away After Reading This!

B.A. Sanskrit, BAMS, M.A. Sanskrit, MS -Gynaecology Ayurveda
Ayurvedic Doctor, Thane
While you may not consume 10 large radishes in a single sitting, a 100-gram portion serves a good nutritional value. Radish is an excellent source of vitamin C - 25% of the daily recommended value and helps in rebuilding of tissues, blood vessels and will keep your teeth and bones very strong. Vitamin C fights disease, increasing the immunity of your body, and helping to fight against all types of diseases, including stroke, heart disease, and cancer.

Radish is also known as 'Raphanus raphanistrum', can be eaten raw (in salads) or can be used in the preparation of different cuisines. While many people trash away radish greens, they are actually one of the best parts of this root vegetable. Although they are not among those classic leafy green vegetables, Radish greens are packed with some lesser known but important nutrients that can fill out a healthy diet.

Radish greens are an excellent source of vitamins (such as - riboflavin, thiamine, niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B6, folate, C, E, K), minerals (like - iron, calcium, phosphorus, sodium, copper, potassium, manganese, magnesium), protein, and dietary fiber.

What Are Radish Greens?
Radish greens are the green leaves on top of the radish itself. These radish greens have an earthen, peppery taste, making them a nutritional addition to any salad. Besides, they can also be used in sandwiches or salted for a healthy side dish. So, if you are among those countless people who just trash the radish greens away, change your ways and include this new food in your diet. Read on to know more about the benefits-

Let us get a quick look at the various benefits that radish greens have to offer:

The Radish leaves have antibacterial properties that go a long way to treat the condition of piles. For maximum results, crush the radish leaves, preferably the dry leaves to a fine powder, add sugar and water to it, mix well (make a paste) and consume daily. Alternately, one can also apply the paste at the inflamed area for some relief.
The radish leaves are laden with iron and Vitamin C and can work wonders for people with iron deficiency, low hemoglobin level, extreme weakness, and fatigue.
The high phosphorous content of radish leaves makes it vital for boosting the immune system.
Radish leaves are a rich source of dietary fiber and are also known for their natural laxative and diuretic properties (contain Vitamin B6) taking care of conditions such as constipation and kidney stones or gallbladder stones respectively.
Not known to many, but the radish leaves serve as an excellent remedy for Hyperbilirubinemia (increased level of bilirubin in the blood) triggered by a condition known as Jaundice.
The radish leaves play a significant role in regulating the blood glucose level and are highly recommended for diabetic patients.
The radish leaves are packed with many vital and essential nutrients and serves as a natural detoxifying agent, cleansing the body of the harmful toxins. The detoxification goes a long way to keep the body (both physical and mental) hale and hearty.
The application of a paste comprising of radish leaves, sugar, (take both in equal quantity) and water on the knee joints work wonders to alleviate the pain and discomfort triggered by Rheumatism.
The radish leaves have antiseptic properties and act as a natural moisturizer. Thus, the radish leaves take care of a myriad of skin problems such as dry and chapped skin, rashes, to name a few.
The consumption of radish leaves provides relief from colds and other respiratory infections and discomfort.
The flavonoids Anthocyanins present in radish leaves minimizes the risk of various heart ailments and cardiovascular disorders by many folds.
The radish leaves are also known for their anticarcinogenic and anti-inflammatory properties and play an instrumental role to ward off many health conditions including cancer.
How to use radish greens for Jaundice treatment

Crush radish leaves and extract the juice using a muslin cloth
Consume 1/2 liter of this juice for 10 days
This is helpful in improving your condition of jaundice and hyperbilirubinemia. With so many health benefits, it would be foolish to exclude radish leaves from the diet.

Physicists fail to find mysterious 'sterile neutrino' particles

After decades of looking, physicists are no closer to discovering theorised particles that could help solve ongoing problems in physics

Physics 27 October 2021

Part of the MicroBooNE neutrino experiment

Cindy Arnold

The hunt for mysterious theoretical particles known as sterile neutrinos has turned up empty again. Neutrinos are extremely light subatomic particles that barely interact with regular matter. There are three known types and the search for a fourth has been going on for decades. Now, a new set of analyses has failed to find any sign that it exists.

Sterile neutrinos get their name because, unlike the other three types, they would only interact via gravity and not the other fundamental forces. Many theoretical physicists found the idea of a sterile neutrino promising because it had the potential to explain several anomalies found in particle physics experiments, as well as being relevant to the mystery of dark matter. But because neutrinos are so small and interact so weakly with other matter, we can only observe them indirectly, via the products of collisions with other particles.

In the 1990s and early 2000s, two neutrino experiments found more of these products than expected. However, neither of them was able to tell the difference between electrons and photons in its results – and sterile neutrinos would only produce extra electrons, not photons. A newer experiment called MicroBooNE at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois can tell the difference, but its first three years of data show no extra neutrino products at all.

“I would have really expected to see an excess in either the photons or the electrons and we haven’t seen one in either, which opens up more questions,” says MicroBooNE spokesperson Justin Evans at the University of Manchester in the UK. We still have no way to explain the earlier results, so they might point to more exotic physical processes that haven’t yet been considered, he says.

So is the hunt for the sterile neutrino over? “We definitely are not seeing any evidence for a sterile neutrino,” says Evans. “As to whether it is completely dead, I think that depends who you ask, but you’ve certainly got to get a lot more inventive to get a sterile neutrino into your particle physics models now.”

Bulking cutting cycle length

Bulking and cutting workout plan

Other than exercises and appropriate dietary plans, one also needs to be heedful about concepts like bulking cycle and cutting cycle as they relates to using bodybuilding supplements to aid results. In this post, I'd like to take these concepts and apply them to a supplement, namely creatine, in order to help you gain mass and reach your goals, bulking cutting cycle length. The First Step to Massive Creatine Metabolism The biggest mistake many bodybuilders make when implementing creatine into their life is forgetting to actually start taking it. This is one of the biggest keys to gaining the maximum effect: eating enough in order for bodybuilders to burn a great deal of calories consuming creatine. Without consuming enough creatine, not only will you miss out on the benefits of increasing muscle mass while eating and consuming a variety of food, but you're also limiting your muscle growth process due to insufficient nutrition, bulking and cutting cycles. As a result, a bodybuilder may be putting too much muscle into their body in the first place. As stated previously, protein alone isn't enough to help with improving muscle mass and gaining mass. As such, while protein alone does increase growth, it has the effect of decreasing muscle mass. In order to do this, one must find a balance between protein quality (which is protein quality determined by amino acids content) and quantity of protein intake, bulking cutting cycle. One way to get the most out of creatine is in the form of an exclusive supplement called Creatine Monohydrate. I've written extensively and even reviewed extensively on this product in my article: 8 Ways to Use Creatine Monohydrate Why would a bodybuilder need creatine, best bulking and cutting cycle? While the benefits of creatine may seem easy to get out of a supplement, most bodybuilders can't use it regularly and do not enjoy the effects. If your goal is to gain mass and reach your goals, creatine might not be for you and you should get more information about it before making a purchase. In addition to its performance-enhancing effect, creatine contains two very important benefits for the bodybuilder, how long should bulking and cutting cycles be. First, creatine decreases muscle breakdown, improving muscle growth and preventing muscle loss. Second, creatine increases creatine uptake in muscle cells which decreases muscle swelling, improving recovery, bulking cutting how long. The first benefit is important for any bodybuilder since muscle breakdown decreases muscle gains. To see how creatine works, see this article "Why Lactate is a Fat burner", bulking cutting cycle length. The second benefits of creatine are important because creatine helps increase muscle size. To see how creatine works, see this article on creatine and muscle expansion, bulking cutting body fat. How does adding creatine into your life affect you, bulking cutting bodybuilding0?

But nowadays, a home security system is more than the sum of its parts, especially when you look at fire and CO sensors, mobile management, and home automation.

A home security system protects against intrusion

Guarding against invasion is the foremost reason to install a home security system in Appleton. For this reason, many sensors and cameras zero in on burglar prevention. Having said that, your smart security system does more than merely defend your property by sounding a warning. Now, you’ll get smartphone updates, monitoring messages,and automation to aid in alerting you of an intrusion when you're not home.

For instance, when you are at work and someone approaches your door, your video doorbell will sense the activity. The device will immediately send an alert to your smartphone with video proof of your visitor. You can then utilize the integrated smartphone app and communicate with your guest via the two-way talk functionality, or have the front hall light illuminate, so it seems like you’re in the house. If a break-in does take place, your home’s defense will immediately alert your 24-7 monitoring agents, and they'll quickly summon law enforcement.

A security system defends against fires, flooding, and CO leaks

Many different types of dangerous situations could happen at your residence. Flooding, fire, and CO leaks usually come unexpectedly and escalate quickly. Linking detectors to your security system gives your fire alarms and other sensors the same functionality as your other monitored devices.

When a crisis occurs, your alarm’s siren will ring, prompting everyone in the residence to leave. You could even have an alert sent to your phone, which is particularly beneficial when you're at the office. Your monitoring specialists will also be informed, so they can contact emergency services while you find safety.

24-hour monitoring immediately reacts to your home security events

24-hour monitoring is often an important factor when deciding if a home security system is worth it in Appleton. With monitoring, a real-life person reacts quickly to the alarm irregardless of whether the disaster comes via an intrusion, fire, or another event. First, they will call you to confirm your system is working properly and to be certain all occupants are safe. Then they'll contact your local emergency professionals so they can get to your house in a hurry.

Your home’s security will make your residence more energy conscious

Smart lights, smart locks, programmable thermostats, and other devices will connect with your home security system to allow your house to be more adaptable and energy conscious. Command all these smart devices remotely with the security app on your smartphone or automatically set your lighting and comfort levels to adjust to a schedule. You have the chance to save up to 10-15% on your monthly energy bills with home automation.

Tonga Volcanic Eruption Felt Around the World

Voice of America
16 Jan 2022, 16:05 GMT+10

NUKU'ALOFA, TONGA - The massive underwater volcanic eruption in Tonga was so powerful it was recorded around the world and triggered a tsunami that flooded Pacific coastlines from Japan to the United States, scientists said Sunday.

Dramatic satellite images showed the long, rumbling eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano spew smoke and ash into the air, with a thunderous roar recorded 10,000 kilometers (6,000 miles) away in Alaska.

The U.S. Geological Survey recorded Saturday's eruption as equivalent to a 5.8 magnitude earthquake at zero depth.

New Zealand scientist Marco Brenna, a senior lecturer at Otago University's School of Geology, described the impact of the eruption as 'relatively mild' but said another eruption with a much bigger impact could not be ruled out.

Waves of around 1.2 meters hit along Japan's Pacific coast with the Japan Meteorological Agency warning waves as high as three meters were possible.

In New Zealand, more than 2,300 kilometers from Tonga, 120 people were evacuated from northern coastal areas and several boats destroyed when a huge wave crashed into a marina.

Australia's popular Bondi Beach in Sydney was briefly evacuated as a precaution while in California, coastal streets in Santa Cruz were awash and closed to traffic.

The National Weather Service Alaska reported the Alaska Volcano Observatory had recorded the eruption in Anchorage and Fairbanks '6,000 miles from the volcano.'

The Fife weather station in Scotland tweeted it was 'just incredible to think of the power that can send a shockwave around the world' after the eruptions produced a jump in its air pressure graph.

Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Ha'apai, which lies about 65 kilometers north of Nuku'alofa, has a history of volatility.

In recent years, it breached sea level during a 2009 eruption while in 2015 it spewed so many large rocks and ash into the air that when they settled a new island had formed 2 kilometers long by 1 kilometer wide and 100 meters high.

Food Security

As a result of COVID-19, schools are closed across the country, but school nutrition professionals continue to work on the front lines to tackle food insecurity in their communities. Many school districts have maintained fixed expenses such as salaries while taking on unanticipated expenses such as hazard pay and transportation costs. Last year between the months of March and June, school nutrition programs served more than 2.5 billion meals and snacks, receiving over $5 billion in reimbursement. Today, programs are serving only a fraction of those meals, forcing programs to tap into fund balances and draw upon lines of credit to sustain their operations. Congress should provide $2.6 billion to sustain school nutrition programs during this crisis1 and reimburse schools for their temporary increase in costs due to packaging food, transporting food to sites and employee time.

The federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is the nation’s most important anti-hunger program. Before COVID-19, it helped 40 million low-income Americans afford a nutritionally adequate diet.2 In response to the pandemic, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has increased SNAP benefits to $2 billion per month across all 50 states and 3 territories.3 As millions more Americans face uncertainty because of the pandemic, the federal government should raise maximum SNAP benefits and suspend the program’s three-month time limit on benefits for jobless adults who are not raising children in their homes. The SNAP provisions enacted so far, which include a temporary suspension of the time limit, are in effect only for when the public health emergency is in effect — they very likely would end before the economy recovers — and leave out nearly 40 percent of SNAP households. SNAP benefits must be increased by 15%, eligibility must be expanded until the economy shows solid signs of recovering from the downturn, and all waivers should extend through the end of 2020. Further, the USDA must allow the use of SNAP benefits for online grocery ordering and delivery, expand and extend Pandemic EBT cards, and allow the use of SNAP at restaurants through an expanded Restaurant Meals Program.

Further, because states administer SNAP benefits, the federal government should provide additional funding to meet the rising demand for service.4 The Families First Coronavirus Response Act provided options for emergency SNAP supplements to states. The Center for Budget and Policy Priorities advises that all states should take advantage of this flexibility to maintain benefits to households with children missing school meals.5 The Economic Policy Institute recommends that states can also remove barriers to receiving direct income support such as unnecessary work requirements, approve applications for SNAP and Special Supplemental Nutrition for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) over the phone or online rather than in person, and continue to provide food for children receiving free or reduced-price meals in schools.6


Study abroad semester in Romania

Romania was a Roman colony back in the days, called Dacia. This fact shaped heavily the subsequent Romanian culture for centuries, if not millennia. As you can see from their language, that is completely unrelated to the neighboring ones and still very close to Latin, Romania kept its personal identity throughout its history, even when foreign occupations occurred. It is a very western-oriented country, now fully integrated into the European Union.

Thanks to its business opportunities, made in EU production and raw materials are coming from Romania, hence economical situation is improving way faster than the European standard one. Climate is enjoyable, with warm but not so hot summers and cold winters, that sometimes can be rigid, especially in the mountainous areas.

Education is good, and it is chosen by many students of the neighboring countries that don’t belong to the EU for the fact that degrees in Romania are EU approved. Hence, any degree obtained there is considered valid inside the European Union without any problem for professions that explicitly require an EU approved degree, such as medical ones.

What are the best universities in Romania for semester students?

Are you still undecided whether or not Romania might be an appealing destination for you? On wearefreemovers you can find a selection of 5 academic institutions offering you the possibility of spending a semester or a full academic year in Romania. Let’s check some statistics about them.

Here you can see the positions of the Romanian institutions among the world’s best universities rankings.

Please provide a valid CSV file.

Romania unfortunately has not already an established reputation in the education field. However, I have a positive feeling toward the future of the country, especially in education. Why? Because the economical growth is sustained, hence more and more specialized roles are going to be needed, so universities could have a big impact on educating a new generation of skilled workers, that could in turn higher the reputation of their universities. Then, as previously stated, many students from neighboring countries are coming to Romania because of its EU member status, so more and more graduates from Romania are foreign-born which, because of the EU validity of their degree, can use it abroad at the same level of their European peers. So, at the end, Romania could really be a good bet, and that’s why I have included it on wearefreemovers.

Costs and fees of studying in Romania

Romania is a cheap country. Monthly costs of living for a single person are slightly above 400€. Here you can find a detail of the various costs that you can encounter in this country. Keep in mind that, as a student, you could have access to various discounts which can include food, travel, and accommodation expenses.

When it comes to university’s fees, Romania is extremely cheap, with a median 300€/semester for free mover students.

Which Romanian cities are available for free movers?

Currently there are 4 cities that accept free movers in Romania. Have you ever dreamt of studying in Timișoara or any other city in Romania? Here you can find institutions divided by city:

The Death of David Kelly - A Detailed Critique of the Postmortem Report

Much of the coverage in the mainstream media of the postmortem report produced by Dr. Nicholas Hunt which was recently released by the Ministry of Justice, Dr Kelly post mortem and toxicology reports, was a jumble of disconnected quotes and inadequate analysis.

This critique doesn't attempt to be exhaustive. It would take a very long article indeed to explore all the potential shortcomings of Dr. Hunt's report.

It simply draws attention to areas where I believe, for example, he has been unduly speculative or has failed either to ask appropriate questions or consider particular findings as a whole.

I'll go through the postmortem report, page by page, making comments about particular points. Some points are major; some much less so.

Page 1

Dated 25th July 2003. There are amended versions. Is this the final one? Or might there be versions before and/or after this one?

Page 2

At the time the report was compiled Dr. Hunt expected the report to remain confidential. In other words, he did not expect it to be subject to detailed public scrutiny.

Dr. Hunt knew it was a "suspicious death".

What is the "entrance" (penultimate line)?

Page 3

The knife and wristwatch are noted. But, surprisingly, not the bottle of water.

Bloodstaning over the left arm is mentioned. Surprisingly, the two to three feet long pool of blood (of which more later) isn't observed.

Scene Examination: The identities of two individuals are concealed.

A scene tent had been erected before the forensic biologist had arrived. The potential for destroying evidence is not mentioned by Dr. Hunt.

He notes that one co-proxamol tablet is still in its blister pack but fails to ask, here or later, why or whether a supposed suicide would neatly leave one tablet to make identification of the type of tablet easier.

Page 4

First bullet point. The "left" hand is actually the "right", I suspect.

Third bullet point. What might the "greenish material" be?

Third and fifth bullet points - Why are two statements both, supposedly, about blood and the right knee separated? Should one (as with the first bullet point mentioned above) relate to the other knee?

Seventh and eighth bullet points - Why two statements about bloodstaining and the left elbow?

Notice that there is no mention of "arterial rain" on the clothing. We are asked to believe that David Kelly bled extensively from transection of the ulnar artery without any "arterial rain" on any part of his clothing. Yet Dr. Hunt doesn't indicate he has noted the absence of the arterial rain, not considered the implications of its absence in a context where he later postulates haemorrhage as the primary cause of death. A surprising and troubling omission.

Eleventh bullet point - The vomit is important and I intend to write a detailed post about that in due course.

Twelfth bullet point - Was the small blood spot underlain by a puncture mark?

Fourteenth bullet point - There was "dirt" at the scene. Surely someone should have examined that earth for footprints etc before the forensic pathologist was let loose?

Watch and knife - Dr. Hunt doesn't appear to consider whether (there having been others at the scene and a tent erected) the relative positions of the knife and watch could have changed. He, equally, seems unaware that DC Coe reported the watch "on top of" the knife at a much earlier stage.

A pool of blood below the knife was measured. (cf the "pool of blood" on page 5)

Broken branches are noted on the penultimate line. Fresh or old? Storm damage or human effect? We're not told.

The position of the bottle is odd, for someone lying on their back.

The bottle of water is 500ml and opened. Dr. Hunt doesn't ask the basic question, here or later, is 500ml (or somewhat less since the bottle has residual water) enough to swallow 29 co-proxamol pills? A bizarre omission, in my view.

Page 5

There is a "two to three feet" area of "bloodstaining and pool of blood", supposedly. I've dealt with that in more detail here, The Death of Dr. David Kelly - the mysterious "pool of blood" seen only by Dr. Nicholas Hunt. Suffice to ask here, if the "pool of blood" existed then why is no record made of its measurement? Why didn't Dr. Hunt talk about it in evidence later at the Hutton Inquiry? After all, isn't the story that David Kelly primarily bled to death?

Rectal temperature - a late measurement gives wider confidence limits for the time of death.

Protective Clothing - I would have liked a description of how the body was bagged around here. Perhaps it's in another report that the public hasn't seen.

Exhibits list - For most exhibits, I'm not aware of the results of tests being made public.

NCH/16 - Leaf from left hand. Old? Fresh? From a source in the vicinity? Of importance? Or irrelevant?

Page 6

NCH/17/5 - Flat cap from game pocket. What happened to the Barbour cap mentioned earlier? It's not listed as an exhibit here.

Post Mortem Examination

59kg is on the light side. Arguably surprisingly light for a man 5'7" tall.

Fingernails show dirt soiling but, apparently, no evidence of blood under them. Was the dirt sampled? Did it match the scene where the body was found?

Page 7

Second bullet point - "An old curving scar around the outer aspect of the right elbow". Objective evidence, I would guess, of an old injury to the right elbow (consistent with Mai Pederson's evidence) or an old operation on the right elbow. (A number of documents on the Thames Valley Police Evidence page on the Hutton Inquiry Web site suggest that it dates to 1992.)

The astonishing thing is that Dr. Hunt notes the scar at the right elbow and later postulates that David Kelly used the right arm to cut his left wrist, but never asks the question about the functionality of the right hand. Could David Kelly hold a knife well? Well enough to make deep cuts in the left wrist? No evidence of professional thinking, simply a conclusion jumped to, as far as I can see!

Page 8

Three bullet points relating to abrasions on the head.

Trunk. Small group of abrasions. Said to be post-mortem.

Right Upper Limb - No comment is made about the right elbow scar mentioned previously.

Unexplained reddish discolouration on the left calf. May be hypostasis. Other possiblities must exist, I would suggest.

Lesion back of left calf. Unknown cause.

Right Lower Limb - small red lesions. One punctate. A puncture mark?? Notice that this lesion is said to be on the "left" thigh in the text, although included in the Right Lower Limb heading.

Page 9

Small abrasion on the lower lip. Is it possible that a nasogastic tube was introduced?

Heart - Coronary artery disease is described with guesstimates of the degree of coronary artery narrowing. There is no evidence of what used to be called "coronary thrombosis". The wording "no definite evidence" implies some evidence but no evidence is described. Perhaps Dr. Hunt should have written "no evidence"?

Page 10

There is no evidence of past myocardial infarction.

Oesophagus - Is the description consistent with a nasogastric tube having been passed?

Bladder - If death was due to ulnar artery exsanguination, it must have happened over many hours. I would tend to have expected concentrated urine, reflecting several hours of progressive blood loss, if the Hutton conclusions were true.

Small areas of brusing below right and left knees.

Page 11

Two small areas of bruising in the back.

One small area of intramuscular haemorrhage.

Lung weights. Are the values reversed? Is the left really heavier than the right??

NCH/29 and NCH/30 - What if anything was found from the nail clippings?

NCH/47 - blood. Where was it obtained from?

Page 12

Page 13

Time of death - The time of measuring the rectal temperature led to wide confidence limits for the time of death.

Conclusion 6. - Something may be "typical" but not prove the assumed cause.

Conclusion 7. - This is wild speculation. Dr. Hunt has no evidence, so far as I can tell, of when the watch was removed.

Conclusion 7. - Re the spectacles. The interpretation is speculation. At least some people who wear bifocals don't wear them all the time e.g. primarily to read and/or drive, in my observation.

Page 14

Conclusion 8. - The interpretation of the placing of the bottle is speculative. Is a third party incapable of neatly placing a bottle and its cap?

Conclusion 8. - Lack of obvious signs of trampling. A silly conclusion. We know that several people have been in or near the body (see evidence to the Hutton Inquiry). They've been there without "obvious signs of trampling". So others could have been there too.

Conclusion 8. - A private spot. Do murderers usually ply their trade in spots that aren't private? This does not differentiate between self-harm and third party involvement.

Conclusion 11. - Essentially speculative. Nothing to justify this being mentioned on the death certificate, as it was later.

Conclusion 12. - Yes, he might have. Or he might not have. It's speculation, really.

Conclusion 13. - Drug concentrations are "not particularly high".

Conclusion 16. - Could it be due to passage of a nasogastric tube?

Conclusion 17. - Speculation. Might the abrasions not be due to Dr. Kelly's body being carried into the wood, for example?

Conclusion 18. - Maybe. Other causes are possible, including causes relating to third party involvement.

Conclusion 22. - The scalp abrasions merited more careful thought in this context, I suggest.

Conclusion 25. - Hmm!

  1. We have no idea at all what or where the entrance is or where the common approach pathway goes in relation to the familiar white tent. Or even how long it is or in which direction. Is the entrance related to the mysterious gate? The common approach pathway is a highly significant and curious thing: totally undefined but everywhere.

  2. PS This is a very fine and penetrating critique of an extremely woolly report.

  3. Thanks for the compliment, Felix.

    I guess that the "entrance" is the point where the "common access pathway" joins the "track" that runs about 50-70 yards (east?) of where David Kelly's body was found.

    Again guessing, I suspect the "common approach path" heads west for 50-70 yards from the "white tent" seen in some aerial shots.

    But that white tent isn't the tent over the body. You probably already know that.

  4. Felix,

    To be fair to Nicholas Hunt he did a lot of things right, in my view.

    BUT ... it's the things he failed to think about and the way he speculates wildly at times that disturbs me significantly about his report.

  5. Yes, is that 'punctate lesion' a puncture mark? Because if so, it is pretty important in the context of a suspicious death - especially one in which any murderer is likely to be a well-equipped expert.

    Also yes, the number of bruises, abrasions and lacerations certainly seem to undermine the bald assertion that there was no evidence of a struggle. No conclusive pathological evidence of a fight, no - but why would there be? this is perhaps useful as a kind of illustrated thought-experiment about the way any putative confrontation might be expected to go.

    In the Hutton testimony there was something about the injuries possibly being caused by 'thrashing about in the undergrowth, if you like'. Hutton clearly did like. (Thrashing about in the undergrowth??)

    Also the number of drafts and the matter of dehydration and concentrated urine are particularly good points, ISTM.

    re: the 'pool of blood' - Hunt actually reports an area containing bloodstains/droplets and a pool of blood - which may be the same (very small) pool of blood that he reports as being under the knife. He does not report analysing any of the bloodstains I don't think. Maybe Mr Green the forensic biologist did that. Unfortunately all his findings seem to have been discarded(!)

    In any case it is odd that this area should be described in such a vague way - almost as if it were intended to suggest to the casual reader - without actually lying - that there was more blood than in fact there was, or that there was arterial rain rather than these non-descript 'bloodstains'.

    BTW it strikes me that your analysis could profitably be presented as a 'Fisking' - i.e. comments interspersed among the original text. Just for future reference, in case you did want to produce something along those lines, or just to quote part of the text at some point, I've posted a plain text version of the pathology report here.

  6. re the transcription - just noticed you're already aware of it.

  7. Tim,

    The punctate lesion could be a puncture mark, but it's not described adequately to allow a definitive conclusion to be drawn.

    In other circumstances one might simply assume it was a mere skin blemish.

    In the circumstances of the death of David Kelly I believe that Dr. Hunt's description is wholly inadequate in my view.

  8. Tim,

    The "thought experiment" on Youtube is interesting.

    Many other possible scenarios, of course, exist, in my view.

    A propos of the dehydration / urine question (in the postmortem report) you might also find this post of interest:

    It looks at the limited (but not exhausted) supply of water as it applies to the two principal (supposed) causes of death.

  9. Tim,

    A propos of the blood loss etc ...

    The report of Roy Green isn't publicly available but seems to be on the Hutton website.

    I deal with the mysterious two to three feet "pool of blood" in this post:

  10. I agree there is an open-ended set of possibilities; to name just one, severe interrogation gone wrong.

    The 'thought experiment' was really to illustrate the fact that in such circumstances, even when they see it coming and know what they're in for, victims do not necessarily fight tooth and nail. And in any case, when faced with far superior strength, one may be overpowered without sustaining any major injury, however much resistance one puts up.

    This may all sound a bit febrile, but if the case is to be taken seriously, this kind of scenario obviously has to be thought through.

    Do you have a link to the Green report? How do you mean, on the site but not publicly available?

    Re the 'pool of blood' - the wording is ambiguous - although it's easily read as "there was bloodstaining, and in an area of 2-3', a pool of blood", it must I think actually mean "there was bloodstaining and a pool of blood, which between them occupied an area of 2-3'".

    The suggestive ambiguity could of course be deliberate, especially in light of the multiple drafts and the by-now-well-known practice of 'sexing up'...

    In fact, the use of a very vague linear measure (2-3') seem very odd in the circumstances. I wonder how wide (and exactly how long) this area was? There is even the possibility that some casual readers, expecting complete and accurate dimensions, might read this as 2x3'.

  11. Tim,

    I suspect that the following document:

    Copy forensic submission - not for release - Police operational information TVP/7/0093 - 0096

    On the same page the postmortem report is this:

    Witness statement: Dr NCA Hunt - not for release - personal witness statement TVP/1/0059 - 0073

    And the toxicology report is this:

    Witness statement: Alexander Richard Allan - not for release - personal witness statement TVP/1/0033 - 0038
    is the forensic biologist's report.

  12. Oops,

    The first mentioned document in the previous comment is the Roy Green report, I suspect.

  13. Yes, could be.

    Only three pages is very little for a report, given the amount of stuff he said he was looking at. Perhaps it is the interim spreadsheet/progress report he said he had lodged with the inquiry. That would fit the description as a 'submission' rather than a statement, perhaps.

The Peking Opera in Rome

Marta Tibaldi

The Peking Opera in Rome

Sheng, dan, jin and chou are the four main characters of the Peking Opera. Four types of actors enacting respectively authoritative male roles as the old man, the young man, the master in martial artes (sheng); female roles as the humble and gentle woman, the vivacious and malicious woman, the woman with a martial aspect and the old woman (dan); male roles with "painted faces" as strong and heroic generals (jin); comic roles that may be both feminine or masculine (chou).

During their roman stopover for the International week of the Confucius Institute - the institution established by the Chinese Ministry of  Education to spread the Chinese language and culture all over the world - some young actors belonging to the Shanghai Art Academy performed three shows (Day of the Peking Opera) to let Rome's audience familiarise with the main features of this kind of theatre.

The Peking Opera actors strongly impressed the public for their ability to perform the extreme symbolization of their roles and actions on the stage: despite the fact that their costumes and their make up, the music and the set were definetely far from the Western sensibility and imagery, they deeply moved the audience's emotions. In Jungian terms The Peking Opera is a kind or archetypal theatre in which the common human experiences and their specific cultural connotation were showed together.

Jung states that true art speaks to everybody with primordial images and with thousand voices (C.G. Jung, Ueber die Beziehung der analytischen Psychologie zum dichterischern Kunstwerk. GW 15, parr. 97-132 [1931]): encountering the Peking Opera is defenitely an experience as such. The actors let the public feel the essential level of human experiences and the specificity of the Eastern cultural forms: a way to fulfill the path of psychic integration that Jung called "individuation process" also throught the encounter with the world.

Sancuso (Granisetron Transdermal System)- Multum join. agree

The electronic shutter can also be used with both Canon and third-party flashes for the first time. Removing the traditional weaknesses of electronic shutters, Canon has introduced Flicker detection and a High-Frequency anti-flicker shooting mode to detect and correct flickering light sources and reduce banding or color and exposure issues.

The EOS R3 will have a new AF tracking mode, (Granisefron the ability to recognize and accurately track cars and motorbikes. This is in Sancuso (Granisetron Transdermal System)- Multum to the people and animal (including birds) tracking (Granixetron.

They specifically say that the Eye Detection AF is now Sancuso (Granisetron Transdermal System)- Multum affected by posing, lighting, Sancuso (Granisetron Transdermal System)- Multum, hair, and face masks.

Improved head detection is now also daktacort and the AF system is said to be able to effectively detect anyone wearing a helmet or goggles, etc. Object com robot has also been improved so that users (Graniestron follow subjects doing big moves such as gymnastics, dancing, etc. The AF modes will work when shooting RAW at up to 30fps.

All of the AF modes work in both stills and video. Everything old is new again. Also making a comeback is Eye AF control.

This technology was first introduced in the EOS 5 (or the EOS A2 and A2e if you were in the US) back in Sancuso (Granisetron Transdermal System)- Multum. The EOS 5 eye-control focusing allowed the user to select from one of five focus points by looking at Sancuso (Granisetron Transdermal System)- Multum through the viewfinder as novartis in switzerland as activating depth-of-field preview by looking at a sixth point marked in the top-left corner of the viewfinder.

At the time, this feature was unique to Canon. The EOS R3 Eye AF works in conjunction with other AF tracking modes. When it is activated users Sancuso (Granisetron Transdermal System)- Multum see a round yellow target that they Transeermal able to shift by simply looking towards a different point in the EVF. This then shifts the AF point. You can use it to change focus between the foreground and background, and change the subject tracking between two people or animals, etc.

Now, there are quite a lot of caveats when using Eye AF. Canon states that you need to calibrate the system for use with your eye and it should also be calibrated depending on what you happen to be shooting. The EOS R3 can record 6K RAW (up to 59. The 6K DCI RAW is done in 12-bit CRM or Canon RAW (Light). The RAW recordings can only be done to the CFexpress card. You can record 6K RAW while simultaneously recording to both cards in MP4, providing a fail-safe backup of vital footageThe R3 is also the Sancuso (Granisetron Transdermal System)- Multum camera in the EOS R series not to feature video recording limitations in most shooting modes.

You Sancuso (Granisetron Transdermal System)- Multum record internally in regular frame rates for as long as you like until either the battery or card runs trans anal. More information on the heat issues can be found further done in this article. The EOS R3 is Mulum able to record in Canon Log 3 and HDR PQ. There is no Canon Log or Canon Log 2 available. It also features the same object recognition, subject tracking, Eye AF, etc.

Below you can see a table detailing what bit depths, codecs color gamuts the EOS R3 is capable of recording in:Below you can see what resolutions, framerates, codecs, and bitrates are recorded when using the EOS R3.

Bit rate indicates video output only, and (Granisetro is not included. Moreover, the video and sound may be slightly out of sync when movies are played back in Windows. So how do these specifications Multym to other mirrorless full-frame cameras that are currently available.

Below you can see:These specifications are for internal recording. Some cameras can only record in certain resolutions and frame rates in 4:2:0 8-bit. Whether or not a RAW output over HDMI Sancuso (Granisetron Transdermal System)- Multum possible is not clear yet. The camera has an HDMI micro OUT terminal Type D.

From sources within Canon that I have spoken to, the best results will be obtained at 400 ISO and the dynamic range of the R3 should be around 12 stops.

Driving is a complex and cognitively demanding task. It is essential to assess the cognitive state of the driver in order to design cognitive technical systems that can adapt to different driver cognitive states. Our research attempts to assess these states using functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) by measuring brain activity in a virtual reality driving simulator. However, the fNIRS brain activation measurements could be influenced by muscle activity and we wanted to investigate this phenomenon. For this, we designed a paradigm with two conditions (listen, teeth clench) which show a significant contrast in the influence of muscle activity. We observed that the muscle hemodynamic response can show a higher magnitude of signal change compared to brain hemodynamic response. The muscle hemodynamic response showed an increase in deoxygenated hemoglobin (HbR) whereas the brain hemodynamic response showed a decrease in HbR. Moreover, the dynamics of the brain and muscle hemodynamic response differed. The brain response showed the same latency for oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO) and HbR while the muscle HbR response had a slower latency compared to HbO. We concluded that the fNIRS brain activation measurements could indeed be influenced by muscle activity. We were also able to determine some characteristics of the muscle hemodynamic response.

ceebu jen

Thieboudienne (Wolof ceebu jën) ist eine traditionelle Speise aus dem Senegal.. Der Ausdruck stammt aus dem Wolof und bedeutet so viel wie „Fisch mit Reis“. The version of tiep called thieboudienne or chebu jen (Wolof: ceebu jën; French: thiéboudiène) is prepared with fish, rice and tomato sauce cooked in one pot, and it is considered the national dish.There are also tiep yappa (with meat) and tiep ganaar (with chicken). 1 or more of the following root vegetables and tubers: one or more of the following leaf and fruit vegetables: Prepare the roof (or roff) by combining the stuffing mixture ingredients and grinding them into a paste, adding a little oil or water if needed. It is served on large trays with the rice on the bottom and the fish, usually White grouper (Epinephelus aeneus), and the vegetables, many of them whole placed in the center. It is a given that food is a blessing from God, and is here to be shared.

It is a preparation of fresh or dried fish, and rice (rice Wolof), cooked with vegetables (such as cassava, pumpkin, cabbage, carrot, turnip, or eggplant), parsley, tomato paste, peppers, garlic and onions. Many cooks include what seems to be an essential in Africa: a maggi cube. Senegal's distinctive ethnic groups have their own variations on cuisine and eating habits, influenced either by proximity to the ocean or the traditions of nomadism and cattle raising.

Garnish with parsley and sliced limes (to squeeze over fish) as desired. Cut deep slits into the fish (but not all the way through) and stuff them with the roof mixture. This equates to the cooking. In Mali, tiep is known as "tieb," a dish consisting of chicken, rice and vegetables such as a tomato and onion base. Add the leaf and fruit vegetables, place the fried fish on top of them, and continue to simmer for an additional twenty minutes or until the vegetables are tender. The name of the dish comes from Wolof words meaning "rice" (ceeb) and "fish" (jën).

The Senegalese "Teranga", or hospitality, is an important aspect of the Senegalese tradition of sharing food and cooking for your hosts, and it is very rude for a guest to refuse food, or refuse to share a meal. [1] The version of tiep called thieboudienne or chebu jen (Wolof: ceebu jën; French: thiéboudiène) is prepared with fish, rice and tomato sauce cooked in one pot, and it is considered the national dish. Fry the onions and dried/salted/smoked fish for a few minutes.

Its main ingredients are rice, fish and tomato sauce. Serve Jus de Bissap with your meal, and green tea with mint afterwards.

Therefore, sharing is another value learned from the bowl. They are taught early on to be hospitable, to be generous, to be sharing, to be grateful, to embrace others. People take enormous pride in their welcoming tradition and go to great length in order to fulfill what is seen as a responsibility toward their guests, or even an unannounced visitor. Find the hot chile among the vegetables. Then fry the fresh fish for a few minutes on each side. Die Speise wird zumeist aus frischen „figud´indi“ und/oder Macco zubereitet. Remove a cup or two of the vegetable broth and set it aside.

Die Speise wird zumeist aus frischen „figud´indi“ und/oder Macco zubereitet. However, tiep is commonly consumed in several countries in West Africa. The health benefits of rice include its ability to provide fast and instant energy, regulate and improve bowel movements, stabilize blood sugar levels, and slow down the aging process, while also providing an essential source of vitamin B1 to the human body. Add water to partially cover them. Another type of tiep is the Jollof or "Djolof" (in Wolof, the national language) rice also called "Benachin" which means 'one pot' in Wolof. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thieboudienne&oldid=963440946, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License, This page was last edited on 19 June 2020, at 20:31.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes or more. Embracing teranga for the Senegalese equates to your success in life.

The fish and all the vegetables and set them aside, keeping them warm. Additional ingredients often include onions, carrots, cabbage, cassava, hot pepper, lime and peanut oil, and Maggi cubes. Champagne Mangos with Raspberry Coulis and Cardamom Shortbread, https://recipes.fandom.com/wiki/Ceebu_Jën?oldid=675441, 1 piece of dried, salted, or smoked, such as, 2 to 3 pounds of fish: whole, fillets, or steaks; cleaned (. Short-grained rice can be used, and it can be broken by soaking it in water, draining it, then mashing it with your hands or a blunt object like the end of a bottle.

One of them is that once they have food in your mouth they have to wait for the next portion until everyone else is ready before putting their hand back in the bowl. Tiep consumption is understandable from the farming point of view but also from its benefits. Tiep bears a strong resemblance—in ingredients, presentation, and significance—to Maghrebi cuscus. Originally from Senegal, the traditional recipe includes fish, rice, tomato and onions. For instance, people from southern Senegal usually also add some kouthia, while people from Dakar and Saint-Louis will use some "soul" (Wolof). It is also the symbol of the Senegalese Terranga (hospitality): Family, visiting friends, and/or guests gather around a single dish (called a bolus) in which everyone is using a spoon (couddou Pulaar) or a piece of bread. Other renderings of the name include: ceebu jen, cee bu jen, ceeb u jen, thebouidienne, theibou dienn, thiebou dienn, thiebou dinne, thiébou dieune, tíe biou dienne, thieb-ou-djien, thiebu djen or riz au poisson.

Chandra Cox was impressed with the volume of train traffic at the transportation crossroads where the Sugar Creek station is located.  The trains range from passenger to freight, and she acknowledges this through Locomotion for the light rail station by utilizing symbols and imagery from rail history.

Entering the station from the parking garage riders encounter Chandra Cox's 18' sculpture The Orb, a symbol derived from a train directional signal.  A collaboration with her architect and fabricator, The Orb is made of painted steel with laser cut patterns arranged in a radial format, and is lit by a ring of LED fixtures.

Cox takes a unique approach with words and letters in her metal cladding designs for the canopy columns.  Laser cut into the metal are several historic spellings of the name Sugar Creek, including sugaree, sugaw and shuger.  She chose to use these different spellings because they demonstrate the vernacular history dating back to Colonial America.

Riders will see finials topping the station canopies spinning in the breeze.  They are an assortment of colorful railroad signals from various states and other countries, typically used in combination to give instruction: stop, caution, proceed, slow, clear, etc.  However, Cox's combined choices provide no specific instruction but merely reference a broader railway vocabulary.

The glass windscreens under the canopies are filled with text containing the names of all Class I Railroads in the country overlaid on larger images of trains that appear from a distance.  The designs are an interplay of art and technology, as the artist worked with a computer programmer, Michael Bissinger, who created an algorithm where the text reacts to the tones in her photographs.

Shawnee State Settles with Philosophy Professor Who Refused To Use Student’s Preferred Pronouns

After Shawnee State University philosophy professor Nicholas Meriwether refused, in 2018, to address a student by their preferred pronouns (see previous post), the university placed a warning in his file saying he violated the school’s nondiscrimination policy.

Meriwether then sued the university for violating his freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and rights to due process.

After some legal back-and-forth, the parties have now settled. According to the Portsmouth Daily Times:

As part of the settlement, the university has agreed that Meriwether has the right to choose when to use, or avoid using, titles or pronouns when referring to or addressing students. The university also agreed Meriwether will never be mandated to use pronouns, including if a student requests pronouns that conflict with his or her biological sex.

In addition, the university agreed to pay $400,000 in damages and Meriwether’s attorneys’ fees.

Outdoor Cooking

The Beavers got stuck, (quite literally with the dough), into cooking as part of their Outdoor Challenge Badge this week! Yummy dampers were made, some with a centre of a sausage and those with a sweet tooth, smothered in chocolate sauce instead.

Paddy arrived early to ensure the coals were just right to cook the dough over hot embers. A bit of rain didn’t stop the Beavers enjoying their attempts and making a thorough mess-which was all part of the fun!

Di San Xian (Stir Fried Eggplant, Potato and Pepper)

1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon dark soy sauce (*Footnote 1)
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
1/2 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cornstarch

Stir fry
1/2 regular eggplant or 1 large Asian eggplants (around 10 ounces / 300 grams in total) , chopped into bite size pieces (*Footnote 2)
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/3 cup peanut oil (or vegetable oil)
1 small russet potato or 2 yukon potatoes (about 1/2 pound / 230 grams in total) , halved and sliced into 1/4-inch (1/2-cm) pieces
1 bell pepper , chopped into bite-size pieces
2 green onions , chopped
2 cloves garlic , minced

If using regular eggplant:

Place eggplant into a large bowl and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of salt. Add tap water to cover and stir to dissolve the salt. Use a small plate or a lid to cover the eggplant pieces and submerge them in the water. Soak for 15 to 20 minutes.

For the sauce

Combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
To cook the stir fry

Heat a 12” pan (or a wok) with 1/3 cup oil over medium-high heat until hot. Spread the potato pieces in the pan without overlapping. Cook without moving until the bottom turns golden. Flip to cook the other side, until golden. Transfer the potatoes to a big plate.

Your pan should still have plenty of oil. Place the eggplant in the pan and spread the pieces without overlapping. Cook the eggplant without moving it until the bottom turns golden brown. If the oil in the pan is fully absorbed by the eggplant before cooking through, add a bit more oil to the pan. Turn to medium heat if the pan starts to smoke. Flip the pieces to cook the other side until golden brown.

Transfer to a plate with the potatoes.

If your pan still has too much oil, carefully remove some of it with a folded paper towel and leave only about 1 teaspoon of oil in the pan. Add the green onion and garlic and stir a few times until fragrant.

Add the peppers and stir a few times to mix well.

Mix the sauce again to dissolve the cornstarch completely. Pour the sauce into the pan. Stir a few times.

Return the eggplant and potato to the pan. Cook and stir until the sauce has thickened and evenly coated the vegetables. Transfer everything to a plate.

Serve hot with steamed rice as a main or as a side.


Big Jet TV: Youtuber Viral For Plane Landing Videos In Storm

Jerry Dyer is viral for his aviation videos.

If, like me, your parents’ idea of kid-friendly entertainment was taking you to a pub at the end of an airport runway to “watch the aircraft,” Friday’s big viral internet moment will have been exactly up your alley. On Friday morning, over 200,000 people saw some of the world’s largest planes land at London Heathrow Airport amid a storm on the YouTube channel Big Jet TV.

Youtube: Big Jet Tv

Winds of up to 122mph wreaked havoc across the UK, ripping the roof off London’s renowned O2 arena in half. Planes continued to land at the country’s busiest airport, which is located southwest of the city.

Who is the owner of Big Jet TV?

Jerry Dyer is the owner of Big jet tv youtube channel

As jets, including Airbus A380s, struggled to land on Heathrow’s runway while being buffeted by the heavy winds, the video on Jerry Dyer’s YouTube channel went viral. As terrified viewers watched planes try, and sometimes fail, to strike the runway, Dyer recounted the high-stakes attempts with the ability of a pro sports announcer. Many of the jets appeared to be struggling to remain on course as they approached the airport, coming in sideways. While there were several misses, several did make it to the ground safely.

“Let’s see what you’re made of, son,” Dyer said as a Qatar A380 attempted its third landing. “If you bring her in, I’ll buy you a round of drinks.” The internet let out a sigh of relief when the jet eventually landed. Airplanes have three chances to land at Heathrow before being forced to divert to another airport.

Dyer praised the pilots for their bravery and professionalism, stating, “You’ve got to hand it to these men; they’re big kahunas. The females, on the other hand, clearly do not.”
