This past July I was asked to be a judge for the National Beef Cookoff; with some irony the request included information on what I could expect including having my travel arrangements handled for me. How cool was that? Well, except my travel itinerary would basically consist of: Get in car. Drive approximately 4 miles. Done. Yep…held right here in south suburban Denver just a couple of miles from my home. I was OK with not having to fly anywhere and I did get a room in the same hotel the other judges stayed in near me; I was also beyond OK with a mini break from work!
The National Beef Cook-Off is a Beef Checkoff Program that began in 1974 as an annual contest and changed to a biennial contest in 1993. The Cook-Off is managed by the American National CattleWomen, Inc. and is considered to be among the top three cooking contests in the nation. It was an honor to be asked but I had no idea what to expect. I sure didn't expect to have so much fun!
We tasted each dish and assigned a point total based on our personal observations as to presentation, taste and fitting the criteria of the category it was entered into. My co-judges included: Kristen Browning-Blas, food blogger of Colorado Table and food editor for the Denver Post (that's Kris in the 'Meat Dress' that she found on a rack in the kitchen!); Kathy Moore, food consultant, cookbook author and blogger of PluggedIntoCooking.com; and Leslie Green, food blogger of The Hungry Housewife and food contributor to Creative Loafing. The most difficult part of this contest was having Kathy and Leslie fly off to other states. I'm lucky that Kris and I are both local and can keep in touch; it really was a unique bonding experience!
You know what? That's a LOT of beef in two days. When we all went out to dinner after our first day I'm thinking salads were on the minds of most of us! I met some wonderful people and have to admit I had a great time. Every judge there took this effort very seriously. I have a good friend who enters contests of this nature and Karen's dish was just awarded as one of the winners at the recently completed Pillsbury Bake-Off. I know firsthand how much these events mean to the contestants and just how much time and attention they put into their individual efforts and we all wanted to be sure we put careful thought into our decisions. I appreciated that our judging panel could discuss each dish and ask questions of the moderator; they even allowed us to change something down the road if we felt that a score given early in the process needed revising based on dishes we tasted as we went along. That seemed fair; it wasn't about the last guys having to find a spot, it really was all about determining what we thought the best dishes.
Awards were given to each region that the recipes came from and regional winners were announced within days of our judging. One overall winner was selected and announced as the $25,000 Grand Prize Winner on November 2, 2013 at the Metropolitan Cooking & Entertaining Show in Washington D.C. Abbie Argersinger of Austin, TX took the grand prize for her Cali-Avocado Steak Salad which included boneless beef top sirloin steak, olive oil, salt, pepper, a large navel orange, a fresh California avocado, naan bread and mixed salad greens. It was fresh, tasty and featured the beef in a simple yet delicious fashion.
One of my favorites from the judging was this Balsamic and Blue Cheese Steak Sandwich from Emily Sullivan-Detwiler who was the winner of Region 6. I loved everything about this sandwich and it was the perfect dish to prepare a couple of weeks ago when I had friends over to watch a Broncos football game and I know they'll be requested again! Abbie's salad is next on the agenda now that we can finally let the cat out of the bag. Perfect for after the holidays when lighter fare will reign supreme.
Combine fennel seed, 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar, 1-1/2 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper in small bowl; mix well. Place beef steak and marinade in food-safe plastic bag; turn steak to coat. Close bag securely; marinate in refrigerator 6 to 24 hours.
Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Place steak on grid over medium, ash-covered coals; grill steak, covered, 11 to 16 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, covered, 16 to 21 minutes) for medium rare (145°F) to medium (160°F), turning occasionally. Carve steak diagonally into thin slices.
Place steak slices on bottom half of bread, top with arugula and blue cheese; drizzle with remaining balsamic vinegar. Top with second bread slice and serve.

Thank you for this write up! I am the creator of this recipe and I entered it into the contest on a whim, my first try at a recipe contest!! My husband is an ex-football player and loves gourmet sandwiches so I am always creating them… My newest is a Bahn Mi that is insanely good (maybe even better that the blue cheese). I also make a Chicken Caprese sandwich that melts in your mouth!
So good to hear from you Emily! I knew I would love this sandwich just from the sound of it and you did not disappoint!
What a fun experience! And this sandwich is absolutely glorious!
Yay, glad to see this posted after hearing about it at lunch!
and omg I want that dress!!!
Isn't that dress a riot. Kris found it and was nervy enough to go and try it on…and it fit! She was a trouper and it's one of my prized phone photos of all time.
Sounds like a neat experience, Barb! I think this combo of steak with blue cheese is right on– too bad only one dish can win the grand prize. I am sure lots were beyond delicious!
I just love that meat dress, Barbara… and what a task you had, judging all that beef! Love this sandwich, would be definitely something I'd like to make!
How fun you were one of the judges for the National Beef Cookoff! Sounds like fun to me. And I can't wait to try this Balsamic and Blue Cheese Steak Sandwich! Totally something I would enjoy!
I am in love with this sandwich! I'd never ask for anything else if I got this for lunch.
Sounds like such a fun experience! That's a lot of beef to sample, though – I'd have been so ready for a salad for dinner too. If I could even face dinner! 😉 I like this recipe – looks like a pretty good sandwich. Good stuff! 😉 Thanks.
The recipe is just up my alley….since I always have blue cheese in my fridge.
It is interesting to hear about the judging for the event…and the rigor of it. I'm sure the contestants, who put so much effort into developing good recipes, are happy to know the judges take their jobs seriously. I have to admit, I always enjoy checking out the beef recipes from this contest.
Any chance you'll be judging again this year?
It's now a biennial contest Jane so not this year. I imagine they'll want different judges but if asked I would sure do it again.

A human digestive organ is hanging from her face, and a huge stomach is her body. She is starving. She is always thinking about eating a large amount of delicious food. Smoking a cigarette, which is a part of the intestine on her face, she is anxiously waiting for the bread that is my flesh, the flesh of the Squid Woman.
The Intestine Woman is gluttony itself. Her skin is inside, and her desire (gluttony) is outside. She hides nothing at all, because her skin is beneath her desire. Her skin is no more useful, so there is no boundary between the world and her. Therefore, she is able to be easily absorbed into the energy of the world.
The Intestine Woman shows us the way to flee from the prison of skin. We must turn ourselves inside out.

Sales starts creating a list of "must haves" for the product that will help them close that elusive next deal. Competitors start popping up, copying your product but also adding new features that threaten to steal your user base. Executives come up with "brilliant" ideas that they want included in the next release. On an almost daily basis, product managers face requests for new features and product changes. Attempting to address or even track all of them is an uphill battle that no product manager can hope to win.
But always remember, rules are meant to be broken. R u l e 2 Work on Products You Are Passionate About The one common factor that I have noticed about the best product managers is that they choose to work on products that they are very passionate about. Brian Lawley, CEO and Founder, 280 Group Let's face it, product management can be a tough job.

To keep the process moving forward, you need political support for the decision process and your final choices. Generally, this involves pre-negotiation with executives in Sales, Engineering, Marketing and perhaps Finance or Manufacturing. Helping them understand your process—and how their teams will get some of the things that they need—is one way to get ahead of escalations and second-guessing. Product managers are paid to make decisions that have an impact on the broader organization. This makes us part of the internal political process.

Like most people I want to get the best value when I hire someone to provide a service. Now that the Internet is available I am able to Google just about anything to ask questions when looking make a purchase. I like to do my research in order to make informed decisions. Buying and selling real estate are probably the most important decisions that most of us make over the years. Knowing what to do without the proper guidance can be pretty scary. Why begin the process without a Real Estate Agent to guide you?
I think using a real estate agent is super important. That is my job and of course I would say that, but I know from experience that most people that try to sell themselves don't end up doing so. Over 90% end up getting a Realtor. What I do know is that when working with a good professional real estate agent the process becomes much easier and statistics show a much better outcome.
There are so many details when selling a home that are difficult. The financial aspect of the process can be hard to understand and banks are a challenge to deal with. Knowing how to work within the system and get you to the finish line can make or break a deal. Whether you are a buyer or a seller, you will want a Realtor on your team. Why would you want to go it alone if your buyers have a Realtor? You become unrepresented. How scary is that?
Where do you advertise, and do you have your OWN website?
How long have you been in the business? References Please!
Can I see how you present a home online?
What hours do you answer your phone?
Who helps when you are not available?
Best Yet? Google your Realtor and see what happens! And find me on Google+.
Skills, experience and expertise are necessary to guide you through the process. From the first showing to the closing table there can be bumps in the road that are not the "norm". Every deal is different and with new guidelines for banks, title and the documents necessary to purchase a home. Having professional representation is important. Best of all, did you know that when selling your home the statistics show that you end up with more cash and sell in a shorter period of time?

Dr. Pederson is author if Leonardo, Bramante, and the Academia: Art and Friendship in Fifteenth-Century Milan (Harvey Miller/Brepols, 2020). This book deepens our understanding of the Renaissance master by providing contextualization for his first Milanese period (c.1482-1499). Although Leonardo has long been cast as an artistic anomaly, the study resituates him within a specific scholarly network that helped to shape his own visual idiom. By suggesting that Leonardo derived inspiration from a wider group of artists, poets, and scientists, the book challenges prevailing ideas about Leonardo's universal genius and contributes to a more complex understanding of an artist who influenced conceptions of creative practice for generations to come. Other research interests include art theory and criticism, Italian humanism, Renaissance historiography, early modern court culture, and gender studies. Dr. Pederson is currently engaged in a second research project on constructions of gender in the portraiture of Leonardo's followers, known as the Leonardeschi. An additional research project examines the artistic followers of Leonardo da Vinci within the context of cultural exchange and explores the proliferation of the Leonardesque pictorial mode across transcultural geographies. Dr. Pederson received her Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University (2008). Before joining the faculty at Arcadia University, she taught at Johns Hopkins (2003–2004), Colorado College (2003, 2006–2007), and Catholic University (2010–2011). She was also a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts, National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC (2007–2010). She is the recipient of a Fulbright Fellowship, Kress Foundation Fellowship, Renaissance Society of America Research Grant, Ahmanson Research Fellowship at the Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies (UCLA), and a Franklin Research Grant from the American Philosophical Society.

Blockchain and collaborative working way ahead
Blockchain and collaborative working - the way ahead
By: Dean Anderson
Date: 3 April 2018
All employers and organisations need to take note. Dynamic online communities are now the collaborative pioneers creating innovation.
In the gaming world, there has to date been no feasible way to financially reward contributors en masse for co-creating games. Now that the new technologies of blockchain and cryptocurrencies are established, a model where co-creators are guaranteed financial rewards has become possible.
Incentivising people with real economic benefit to do the work they already want to do will spell the end of this form of unpaid labour. By allowing developers and publishers to financially recognise work, community creators will become third party developers.
Gamers can be rewarded with cryptocurrency for playing and reviewing games, giving feedback and sharing social content to help promote games they love.
Developers will in turn have access to talent throughout the creation process, and will even be able to license user-generated content, sell and market these games through the platform.
A world of available talent
This new model for gaming comes ahead of a key transition in the global labour market. It is widely accepted that AI and advanced technologies will render many traditional jobs obsolete, and it is also true that new careers will emerge. For some, this could mean part-time passions becoming full-time careers.
By using blockchain-facilitated peer-to-peer cryptocurrency payments and transactions, employers are now able to pay anyone, anywhere in the world, and ultimately tap into a global talent pool.
In the UK, according to TIGA's 2018 business survey, more than two-thirds (68 per cent) of video games firms plan to increase their workforce. However, 29 per cent of developers are concerned about Brexit's impact on their ability to recruit the right talent. "In order to grow and thrive, the UK video games industry will need to continue to recruit talent on a global level." stated Dr Richard Wilson, TIGA CEO.
By being able to call on a dedicated community with a wealth of knowledge and expertise, developers will be able to efficiently generate, curate and promote their content.
Decentralisation is the way forward
Despite its roots in technology, the gaming industry has not, so far, adopted a collaborative model.
Gamers are known for being among the most passionate of the world's digital communities, and more games are being released than ever before.
This wealth of releases brings a major problem: it has become extremely difficult for indie studios and developers to rival the influence of multinational companies and bring attention to new games.
Blockchain technology could be the catalyst that transforms this situation. New platforms will soon provide a level playing field for all developers, no matter how small. With ever-more sophisticated technology, we can expect to see borderless collaboration continue, on a far wider and more advanced scale.
Work can become far more productive, efficient, and democratic by incorporating blockchain. This will be true from initial recruitment through to employment contracts and ways of working.
A working environment requiring "engaging communication tools to promote engagement, enhance collaboration, wellness, and a sense of purpose" is foreseen in Deloitte's 2017 Human Capital trends survey.
Autonomous decentralised contact centre network PodOne also believes that the "unbeatable advantages" of blockchains can be used to create a "truly global, truly open and truly democratic workforce and employment solution".
A blockchain-facilitated model will enable the global video games industry to transform the way people work. Their exciting precedent will doubtless be followed by others.

Teams listen to the national anthem during the opening day ceremony for the Newport Beach Little League on Saturday.
Newport Beach Little League, with more than 700 young baseball players, has been suspended by District 55 for having too many coaches on its board, leading to cancellation of games on Thursday and Saturday, said Joe Jennings, an NBLL board member.
The league received word of its error and suspension Wednesday.
"We sent [District 55] a letter [via email Friday morning] explaining that we rectified anything that we knew that possibly could've been cause for this extreme action that has been harsh for so many kids and a great organization," Jennings, a former league president, said.
Little League rules say coaches can't total more than half the number of people on the board, according to Jennings.
Five NBLL board members resigned after the suspension to comply with the rule, Jennings said.
"It's really inexplicable," Jennings said, as to why District 55 reacted so abruptly just after NBLL celebrated its Opening Day on Saturday.
However, NBLL board members knew about the rule and had more coaches on its board than the majority because of a shortage of volunteers, Jennings said.
"Yes, we should've been more on top of things and dotted our I's and crossed our T's," Jennings said. "But this is so easily corrected that we didn't have to impact the kids."
NBLL, which plays its games at Bonita Canyon Sports Park, discovered Friday afternoon that its games were being canceled again Saturday.
Jennings said the five who resigned from the board were "all great contributors to the league."
The former NBLL president said District 55 initially sent emails to regional representatives about NBLL's error and had NBLL on the correspondence on Wednesday.
He said a report from District 55 was also submitted to the regional representatives, but NBLL was not on that correspondence. It's possible the report could reveal more rules violations.
About an hour later, NBLL received word of its suspension, Jennings said, and the league was told that its insurance for the players was no longer valid and it had to stop play.
"We wanted to show what our league is all about," Jennings said.
Gregg Olson, a former Major League Baseball relief pitcher who lives in Newport Beach, went to Twitter to ask for help.
He tweeted: "We need help in Newport Beach. Our Little League has been suspended without giving us a cause. We have 800 kids that will not be playing baseball until we can resume. All you media power players, call Tamara Alexander at District 55. We need help!"
Phone calls and an email sent to District 55 have yet to be returned to the Daily Pilot.

Former British Equine Veterinary Association president Deidre Carson commented: "I am passionate about animal welfare, conservation and biodiversity and believe that vets should be leading the way in improving the way animals and our environment are managed. I am looking forward to working with other enthusiastic and knowledgeable people to progress the work of AWF and to see the results of those efforts."
Dr Shotton, veterinary services manager at Marwell Zoo, said: "I believe that AWF can make a real and positive difference to the lives of millions of animals, and I want to be a part of that. I'm looking forward to being able to contribute my skills and experience to help progress our understanding of animals to better improve their welfare. I'm also looking forward to engaging in debate around animal welfare issues in order to identify ways forward with initially complex and challenging issues."

Blue like an Orange Invests R$30m in Placi
Blue like an Orange Sustainable Capital invested R$30m in Placi, a Brazilian company specialized in transitional hospital services to long-term care patients.
(Press Release) Blue like an Orange Sustainable Capital closed on 27 August 2020 its structured financing to Placi—a Brazilian company specialized in transitional hospital services to long-term care patients, and a pioneer in the development of the sector in the country. The transaction aims to support the Company's founders and FinHealth, a Brazil-based private equity and venture capital firm, in pursuing a long-term growth plan for Placi.
The Company is developing an integrated care network providing long-term care patients an alternative to the binary choice of a prolonged traditional hospital stay and a release to home care. By offering a complementary healthcare solution, Placi makes beds available at traditional hospitals for the treatment of acute and more medically complex patients, as well as offers families an option for specialized and affordable care for their members. The Company provides transitional hospital services to the middle income class, primarily covered by private health insurance, including corporate and government employees.
Placi aims to provide a welcoming, home like environment in its facilities. Specialized therapies, including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, art therapy, among others, allow for custom therapeutic goals and a medical plan aligned with the expectations of the patients and family members. Patients are able to participate in several celebrations and group activities, being in close contact with their families (including the option of a dedicated caregiver), which helps them engage and motivates socialization throughout the recovery process.
Senior management is committed to the improvement of healthcare, with numerous quality standards already in place at the facilities. Placi's team has established a relationship and continuous dialogue with the key players in Brazil today, working towards setting up an accreditation association for transitional care.
"We are very proud and enthusiastic about the transaction with Blue Like an Orange. In addition to providing funds to boost growth, we are confident that their expertise will be valuable in supporting the Company in this challenging and exciting moment", said João Paulo Baptista, founder and CEO of FinHealth, manager of BBI Financial I, which holds a majority stake in Placi.
"It's a privilege to work together with Blue Like an Orange. The entire team is highly motivated and focused on growing and developing the Placi care model with passion and excellence", said Carlos Chiesa, CEO of Placi.
In addition, Placi is currently playing an important role in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, admitting patients in the recovery phase, but still requiring professional medical care, and oftentimes ventilators. By transferring these patients to a transitional care facility, the beds at traditional hospitals are available to treat more complex COVID-19 and other non-pandemic related patients.
In 2019, Placi received 300 patients and provided over 20,000 hours of therapy. With the financing from Blue like an Orange, Placi will expand its current operations, and build new facilities, being able to provide care to over 1,200 patients annually, after the expansion is completed. The Company has over 70% of female employees in its workforce and it will generate further employment opportunities to support its growth plan, including first-time employment.
"Placi brings a transformational approach to the Brazilian healthcare system, offering a tailored and affordable care alternative for the well-being of patients and their families. We are thrilled to support its management and partner with FinHealth in this growth trajectory going forward", commented Cristina Penteado, Managing Director and Head of Brazil of Blue like an Orange.
The expected development outcome supports several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, including but not limited to: SDG 3 (Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages), SDG 5 (Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls), SDG 8 (Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all).
The investment is the fifth transaction announced by Blue like an Orange Sustainable Capital, and the second investment in Brazil.

About Placi
Placi started its operations in 2013 with a small infrastructure of only 30 beds. As a pioneer in the market, Placi has developed a new concept of hospital services in Brazil.

Currently, the Company operates two hospitals, with beds occupancy rate of over 90%. Placi is implementing an accelerated growth plan, including the expansion of existing units, opening another facility in Rio de Janeiro, and two facilities in the capital city of Brazil, Brasília.

If Kursk Sank Today, It Could Set Off War (Op-Ed)
Two events coincided last week. The first was the 15-year anniversary of the sinking of the Kursk submarine, which passed with very little fanfare, no speeches from high-profile politicians, and no national television programs. Recognition of the date was limited to events in the cities where crew members are buried, those 21st century martyrs.
How long are we going to talk about it? As President Vladimir Putin told Larry King, it sank, and that was that. Enough with the lamentation. All the more since surveys show the Russian public is now sure that the country's leaders did everything they could to save the men on board the Kursk. Everyone has simply forgotten that those leaders spent several days discussing whether or not to ask for foreign assistance. Putin couldn't have made a mistake.
At the same time, this tragedy is definitely worthy of a serious discussion now. At the very least because it was an important turning point in the evolution of Putin. It showed the truth behind his — to put it mildly — romantic notions of the military's top brass. That was the moment when he learned that even men with many-starred gold epaulettes could still lie straight to his face.
It was no coincidence he put Sergei Ivanov, then one of his closest associates, in charge of the Defense Ministry soon after the Kursk. This was done simply to find out the true state of affairs in the army (I'll note in passing that this attempt was a failure; Ivanov soon became an obedient conduit for the lies of the generals).
It was the Kursk disaster that showed Putin the extent of the rot within the army. After the tragedy, he had a radical military reform plan developed by the Union of Right Forces party on his desk, but didn't take the risk of implementing it then. But a very similar reform was introduced ten years later by Anatoly Serdyukov.
Back then, in 2000, Putin fastidiously ignored the heaps of lies the admirals immediately started feeding him as they attempted to prove that the cause of the tragedy was some NATO submarine, which either collided into the Kursk or torpedoed it. But no follow-up accusations were then directed at the insidious West.
I suspect that everything would look differently were, God forbid, such a disaster to occur today. After all, another event led to much discussion on the Russian news last week — the publication of a report by the European Leadership Network with the revealing title "Preparing for the Worst: Are Russian and NATO Military Exercises Making War in Europe More Likely?"
The authors emphasize obvious factors: the nature of the exercises held by NATO and Russia throughout the previous year indicate that they are developing scenarios for military conflict with the other party. This is demonstrated by the strategic character of the maneuvers: they cover several theaters of military action simultaneously, and include the swift transport and deployment of large numbers of troops. The writers of the report also analyze the "snap exercise" held by Putin's order in March.
According to data from British analysts, more than 80,000 military personnel participated, as well as more than 60 warships and 200 planes. This exercise covered an enormous territory, from the Arctic region to the Crimea, and Kaliningrad to Sakhalin.
NATO exercises have been much more modest thus far. Those who planned them, however, are clearly keeping in mind NATO maneuvers from the era of the previous Cold War. The alliance made innumerable preparations in those days for the transport of 100,000 American soldiers to Europe.
The scale of current maneuvers is so far insignificant, with participants totaling about 15,000. But the scenarios are similar. These are strategic troop transports, the number of which could be increased, and swift deployment in regions under threat.
The same authors noted in their previous report that increased military activity raises the risk of potential incidents in the air and at sea: "Even though direct military confrontation has been avoided so far, the mix of more aggressive Russian posturing and the readiness of Western forces to show resolve increases the risk of unintended escalation and the danger of losing control over events."
So this is the time to ask the question: how would the Kremlin react if the Kursk tragedy were to occur today, during maneuvers when Russian and NATO forces carry out simultaneous war games near each other? Could the president ignore the admirals this time, if they began to confidently lie about an enemy submarine either colliding with or attacking a Russian one?
It's not even a matter of how the propagandists would react. Rather, could Putin himself, the person who has the right and capacity to press the "red button," withstand the influence of the very military hysteria he has helped to create? If not, the world faces an uncertain future.
European Leaders Network analysts see a path to resolution through the parties concentrating on measures to establish mutual military trust, work on a new treaty on conventional armed forces in Europe (Russia no longer participates in the original CFE treaty), and create emergency contact channels, which could help clarify the situation during a crisis.
This is a rational approach. But it would mean returning to a Cold War situation. That is, a situation in which the focus is on the military force and means of the conflicting states, and questions about the soundness of their leaders become secondary.
Army Brass Sabotaging Putin's Plans (Op-Ed)
Russia's military brass continues to ignore and sabotage orders from the top that it doesn't like, writes columnist Alexander Golts.

Russia's entire shipbuilding industry stands in need of fundamental reform — much more than the swaggering and unrealistic naval doctrine, writes...
