Driving Speed And The Risk Of Road Crashes
- Driving Over The Speed Limit Speeding has been a serious problem that drivers face on the roads every day. Most of the drivers recognize the risks of driving and they know what could happen by going over the speed limit. In the article "Driving speed and the risk of road crashes" , in this article the authors show the risks of going over the speed "They concluded from this function that a 1% increase in free speed is related to an increase of 7.8% in crash liability." (Aarts, and Van Schagen 217), it is clear how risky is driving over the speed that one percent can relate to 7.8 % in crash liability.... [tags: Risk, Investment, Speed limit]

Is it Possible to Travel at the Speed of Light?
- Ever since 1966, when the first episode of Star Trek aired, there has been a question lingering in the mind of humans; fans, children, and scientists alike. To some, it is just wishful fantasizing, but to others, it is a goal to pursue and an idea that may not be so far-fetched -- Is it possible for humans to travel at the speed of light. If so, why should humans attempt this and will they. If not, what are some of the limitations of travel at the speed of light and are researchers trying to resolve them....

How Speed Cameras Be A Common Occurrence Nowadays?
- Speed cameras seem to be a common occurrence nowadays. On your way to work, school, or just out and about, you're sure to see a "Photo Enforced" sign somewhere along the way. These things seem to be everywhere, but are they effective in what they're put in place to accomplish. What are they there to accomplish, one may ask. Some say to make roadways safer by curbing speeders with moderate fines while others think it's purely a revenue generator for the local and state governments. A fine of $100 or less isn't going to keep a driver from speeding, at some point or another they will speed therefore deeming the cameras useless.... [tags: Speed limit, Miles per hour, Speed]

Speed Perception and the Brain
- The cortical pathway responsible for motion processing is relatively well defined (see e.g. Britten, 2003 for review). However, an understanding of the precise mechanisms involved in encoding the speed of a moving image has proven evasive. A variety of models have been proposed, including labelled line, ratio and Bayesian models (e.g. Priebe & Lisberger, 2004; Smith & Edgar, 1994; Thompson, Brooks, & Hammett, 2006; Hammett, Champion, Thompson, & Morland, 2007; Stocker & Simoncelli, 2006; Langley & Anderson, 2007) but there is still no clear, agreed picture of exactly where in the pathway speed-tuning arises, nor how it is achieved....

Research Experiment to Determine the Speed of Sound
- Abstract/Introduction: Sound is the sensation that our brain interprets when vibrations carried to our ears stimulate the auditory nerves. It is produced by the compression and rarefaction of matter. The speed of sound depends on the properties of the medium such as bulk modulus, density and the temperature though which it travels. It does not depend on the source of the sound. Sound travels faster in air which is less dense and in air with a higher temperature. Hence, more density and heat = faster speed of sound....

Reversing The Speed Limit Raise in Forestville
- The argument that Forestville should reverse a decision it made six months ago to raise its speed limit by 10MPH due to a 15% rise in accidents because accidents in Elmsford, a neighboring region, declined slightly, is inconclusive. A base line study of traffic pattern disruptions and speed variances in Forestville and Elmsford comparing demographic data, location, rate, and type of accidents for more than six months might determine significant risk factors. Federal studies suggest that accidents rise if speed limits are raised on highways by as much as 5% for each 4 MPH but on moderate speed limit roads, no such relationship exists....

Many people with insomnia problems typically try traditional solutions for their sleep like a glass of warm milk, avoiding caffeine and a schedule but what about a room temperature. When you go to sleep your body's wanted core temperature is decreased( Doheny). This drop in core temperature is what induces sleep(Bucklan). Though debated to be in ranges of 65°F-75°F and 60°F-68°F however, many doctors recommend the median of about 65°F room temperature when sleeping.... [tags: insomnia, cold, energy]
Physics of Speed Detection
- Speed detection is one of the most notorious functions of our local and state police. How do they know how fast we are going. Speed determination is accomplished in two basic ways. First, the least sophisticated method is dependent upon an officer's ability to guess your speed. Second, either some electronic method using radar or laser instrumentation authenticates that officer's guess. As you will see, their guesses are usually right on target. What does this mean for you. Usually a speeding ticket or if your infraction isn't a flagrant disregard for safety, a friendly warning.... [tags: police law enforcement radar gun speeding ticket]

- Speed Kills The high speed limits are often causes of accidents that cause serious injuries and even death. The speed limit should be lowered so we can control accidents caused by high speed driving, pollution, and the high cost of operation and insurance. First of all it is obvious that a motorist driving over the speed limit has more chances of getting into an accident that a motorist who is traveling at the average speed. One who drives fast does not have proper and that well of a control on the vehicle as one that is moving at a safe speed or at the speed limit mark.... [tags: essays research papers fc]

Though this grass does spread by rhizomes, it is a slow grower and will not rapidly overtake its neighbors. When grown in part shade, the yellow tones in the leaves will be most pronounced. In deep shade, the variegation will be lime green. In the cooler days of autumn, the golden foliage becomes infused with shades of pink and red. People in milder climates will be able to enjoy the buff color of this grass all winter. In colder climates, it will die all the way back to the ground.
Hakonechloa is grown mainly for its beautiful foliage, though it does produce seed heads. Tiny, inconspicuous flower spiklets appear in airy clusters from late summer thru early fall.
Hakonechloa is most at home in shaded, woodland environments where the soil is rich and loamy. This grass will not grow in poorly drained soil, heavy clay, or very dry soils. Part to full shade is best; full hot sun tends to scorch the leaves.
Since it is such a slow grower, it will not be necessary to divide this grass for many years. However, division is easily accomplished and may be done in spring or fall. In zones 5-6, mulch it with fall leaves to a depth of about 2 feet and cover the pile with branches to keep the mulch in place. In southern zones, this mulch is not necessary. In early spring, remove the leaves and cut back last year's foliage to allow room for the new growth.
"Hakone" is the area near Mt. Fuji in Japan where this grass is found growing naturally.
Thus, Hakonechloa means "grass from Japan".

Courtroom dramas are my jam.
There is an electricity in watching professionals expertly operate the machinery of their industry, whether that's investigative journalists, detectives, lawyers or politicians. Writer and second-time director Aaron Sorkin is the best in the business for penning this kind of efficiency into his screenplays, and Netflix's new procedural The Trial of the Chicago 7 certainly plays to these strengths.
The group of men who make up the Chicago 7 travelled to the Democratic National Congress in Chicago in 1968, from various backgrounds and organisations, to protest America's continuing war in Vietnam. That much is undisputed. The key accusation they face in the courtroom is that this journey was made with the specific intention of escalating protests into something more violent: to conspire to riot. Academy Award winner Mark Rylance plays the defence attorney charged with keeping the band of misfits in check - these guys are would-be leaders of the revolution and don't easily hold their tongues. Is this a fair trial, or are they the casualties of a political vendetta?
Not 7, but 8 men sit as defendants. Bobby Seale (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) is the leader of The Black Panthers and is facing the same charges, despite having no legal representation in court. He insists this is wrong, but is denied action and further prevented from representing himself. As the court spirals out of control, it takes a truly shocking act of barbarism from the presiding judge (one of the most uncomfortable images in the film) before action is taken.
Although the protests themselves make up a small percentage of screen time, the chronology is revealed to us in a series of flashbacks, expanding our lens throughout the course of their trial. These action sequences are intercut with flashes of real-life still images, lending weight and authenticity to the dramatization. I have to say, however, that the direction of these scenes felt a little off. The wide shots look a bit too much like a movie set, the extras look a bit too much like extras, and the plot developments seem a little too contrived.
Steven Spielberg was originally attached to direct this feature before it was tripped up by the 2007 writer's strike. In fact, Heath Ledger was due to meet him for the part of Tom Hayden (Eddie Redmayne), a day after his tragic death. I strongly suspect that Spielberg would have nailed that feet-on-the-ground feeling during the protests and captured the full sweep of emotions experienced by the protesters.
It is surprising that this film has been in development for over a decade - the exploration of these issues is powerfully timely. The Black Lives Matter protests in 2020 have brought to light those same accusations of police-incited violence, unnecessary escalation, and abuse of power. Civil rights movements are still not being given the right to peaceful assembly and protest without sabotage. 'Law enforcement' is still choosing to infiltrate and militarize rather than protecting their subject's right to free speech.
Stories of social justice do easily slip into moments of self-righteousness and grandstanding, telling you how you should feel about a situation, rather telling the facts and letting you decide for yourself. For the most part, Chicago 7 avoids this. It's tempting to think that the Judge Julius Hoffman, menacingly played by Frank Langela, is a cartoonishly evil force and an invention of a writer looking for easy victories. In reality, the filmmakers actually omitted certain events because they thought the viewer would not believe just how bad he was! One jaw-dropping example: when four jurors initially refused to convict the defendants, he informed them that he would not accept any other conclusion except one in which the jury decided that the defendants were guilty. What a dick. Although it's unclear if they used this particular phrase, 78% of Chicago attorneys also had an unfavourable opinion of him, even before the trial depicted in this film.
As you might expect, the star-studded ensemble are good across the board. The real standout performances here come from Rylance, Langela, and the ever-charismatic Sacha Baron Cohen. I have found some of the comedians previous dramatic performances a bit overwrought and one-note (looking at you Les Miserables). This time, Cohen's portrayal of alternative leader Abbie Hoffman (no relation, we are assured) perfectly rides the line between comic relief and a larger-than-life, but essentially believable, character. Archive footage shows that Abbie really did wear his heart on his sleeve and enjoyed provoking people with his sardonic wit.
A Few Good Men this is not. However, Sorkin has created here a story that seems to be timeless in its subject, in a way that his previous screenplays can't claim to be. Steve Jobs, Moneyball, and The Social Network are all placed very definitively at a single point in history. Only time will tell if long-term relevance translates to long-term popularity for The Trial of the Chicago 7. I for one thought it was an entertaining 2 hours and would recommend it as such.
Verdict: 41/56 charges of contempt of court

Sax is een gemeente in de Spaanse provincie Alicante in de regio Valencia met een oppervlakte van 63 km². Sax telt  inwoners ().

Het kasteel van Sax

Het kasteel bevindt zich op 524 meter boven de zeespiegel op een steile klif met uitzicht op de gemeente Sax en domineert zo een groot gedeelte van de vallei van Vinalopó tussen Elda en Villena.

De oudste resten die gevonden werden op de site dateren van de tijd van de Iberiërs. Voorts konden ook aanknopingspunten gevonden worden uit de tijd van de Romeinen. Met de bouw van het huidige kasteel werd begonnen door de Moren, meer bepaald de Al-Andalus of nog preciezer het Kalifaat van de Almohaden. Samen met de kastelen van Petrer, Castalla, Biar en Villena bevindt het gebouw zich in de vallei van de "Rio Vinalopó", gelegen in de provincie Alicante. Ze zijn de stille getuige van oude gevechten gestreden in deze regio. Het ontstaan van deze monumenten bevindt zich in de tijd van Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, beter bekend onder onder zijn bijnaam El Cid Campeador (Heer Kampioen) of kortweg El Cid. en in de grensgevechten tussen de Moren en Christenen tijdens de Reconquista of de herovering van Spanje door de laatstgenoemden.

Tijdens het jaar 1239 werd het kasteel veroverd door de Orde van Calatrava en kwam zo in handen van de Kroon van Aragón. Na het Verdrag van Almizra van 26 maart 1244, het vredesverdrag tussen de Kroon van Aragón en de Kroon van Castilië, werd het kasteel geschonken aan de Kroon van Castilië. Zo kwam het in handen van Ferdinand III van Castilië en werd het kasteel door zijn opvolger Alfons X van Castilië ingedeeld in de Señorío de Villena. Tijdens het jaar 1480 kwam het kasteel in handen van De Katholieke Koningen.

Tijdens de Spaanse Successieoorlog (1701-1713 verdedigden de troepen van Filips V van Spanje het kasteel, maar toen ze aangevallen werden door de troepen van Keizer Karel VI, verlieten ze het kasteel. Tijdens het jaar 1764 benoemde Karel III van Spanje de Hertogen van Arcos als bezitter van het kasteel. In 1782 werd het kasteel overgedragen aan de Hertogen van Maqueda in de persoon van Vicente Joaquín Osorio de Moscoso y Guzmán.

Het kasteel kwam in 1980 in handen van de gemeente Sax.

What a wonderful end to our weekend! We began the day with a quick walk up a hill to visit the church of I Cappuccini. Although it sounds like the beloved coffee drink, as Lorenzo explained, I Cappuccini is in fact an order of monks. They take their name from the Italian word for "hood", cappuccino, which the monks wear. Upon arriving at the hilltop church, students rested in the shade and looked out over the valley below. On the walk down, we stood in awe of the breathtaking views of Spoleto from afar.
We then took a stroll through the antiques market which was set up throughout the town of Spoleto. Locals brought out their handmade goods, including jewelry, bags, and linens. Students also sampled local honey, cheeses, and even smelled the some of the truffles.
After the market, we headed to yet another fabulous three course lunch, which began with pasta and ended with fresh cantaloupe. In the Italian fashion, we headed back to the convent after lunch for some much needed rest and relaxation.
After our siesta, students prepared to meet for classes for the first time. We walked to the school and met with faculty. Students were introduced to their class formally for the first time, and learned about what they could expect throughout the course.

Home Business Becoming Chris Burch: A Winding Path to Success
Becoming Chris Burch: A Winding Path to Success
Positive the Facts Team
For those who wish to pursue a path toward financial and personal fulfillment, the examples set by American investor and entrepreneur Chris Burch are ones from which to behold and learn. Burch, founder and CEO of Burch Creative Capital, a company that invests internationally across a variety of industries, admits that although as a child he suffered from ADHD and was never a good student, his keenest talent is the ability to observe and understand human behavior, combined with an instinct for recognizing entrepreneurial talent. Over the course of his career as an entrepreneur and investor, Burch has been involved in the founding and launching of over 50 companies, all focused on disruptive innovation, creativity, passion, and lasting impact.
Burch's assets hit the billion-dollar mark in 2013, and he was first listed among Forbes' list of world billionaires that same year. His most sentimental projects in recent years include the purchase, renovation, and relaunch Nihi Sumba, one of the world's top luxury resorts located on the remote island of Sumba in Indonesia, and the acquisition of a 17th century Hotel Particulier in Senlis, France, which he has transformed into a luxurious residential respite for the enjoyment of his family and guests.
Burch Creative Capital
Burch owns and manages Burch Creative Capital, a private investment firm that develops innovative ideas and supports emerging start-ups that exhibit a potential to create a lasting and positive impact in the global marketplace. He leads a team that is invigorated by his personal passion for innovation, his creative vision, and his 40+ years of experience in a variety of entrepreneurial ventures.
Building on the success of past ventures, such as his involvement on the Board of the popular Tory Burch apparel line designed by his former spouse, Burch invests in various industries including fashion, retail, home furnishings, organic foods, technology, and hospitality. His current investments include the ED by Ellen DeGeneres apparel and home accessories line, as well as Bauble Bar, Solid & Striped, Soludos, Poppin, Blink Health, Dirty Lemon, and others. His famed Nihi Sumba resort in Indonesia has been named the #1 Hotel in the World by Travel & Leisure magazine for two consecutive years and regularly receives rave reviews. He is also a former member of the board at Guggenheim Capital and The Continuum Group.
Burch explains that his greatest satisfaction in running Burch Creative Capital comes from the fulfillment of his desire to apply his knowledge, vision, experience, and resources to assist emerging entrepreneurs with great ideas that enhance the consumer experience and have the potential to improve the lives of consumers over the long term. When describing the mission of his company, Burch affirms simply, "We match ideas with funding to bring extraordinary possibilities to the world."
Burch is particularly interested in projects that break new ground and take advantage of existing resources, engage the local community, and create a visionary transformation of physical and social space. His Senlis, France project involved the restoration of a small hotel particulier built in 1608 into a relaxing residential guesthouse with an entrance court and rear garden that serves as a calming escape for his guests and family. At Nihi Sumba, a project he developed with CEO and managing partner James McBride after purchasing a small shoreline hotel in 2012, Burch has successfully created an idyllic tropical paradise that at once nurtures elite guests as well as the local community. The Nihi resort partners with the local Sumba Foundation to provide crucial humanitarian support to local villages, such as health care, clean water, and school lunches, as well as lucrative employment opportunities for locals. In both of these cases, project goals included providing a contemporary experience of luxury and comfort, while retaining the purity, authenticity, and slow pace associated with the local traditions of each location.
Chris Burch was born and raised in Pennsylvania. As a child, his teachers proclaimed that he had a wandering mind that diminished his likelihood of ever becoming successful. In his teens, he began working after school and during the summers at his father's mining equipment and supplies company, as well as doing construction work. Burch describes his father as his personal hero and a powerful influence on his character. "He was 100% about integrity and the truth," he states. These values have always guided his personal approach to both business and life, and continue to influence his work ethic to this day.
His father's example of an independent entrepreneurial spirit, as well as perseverance and hard work, inspired Burch and his brother to start their own business while still in college. In 1976, the brothers founded an apparel company called Eagle's Eye (a name derived from his dad's nickname "Eagle") while studying at Ithaca College. With an initial investment of $2000, they began selling ladies' sweaters to campus residents by going door to door. The business continued to grow for over 20 years, until the Burch brothers sold it to the UK-based Swire Group in 1998 for $60 million.
Burch also pays tribute to the values he learned from his father by remaining active in his community. A former board member of the Rothman Institute Orthopedic Foundation and former president of The Pierre Hotel Co-op Board, Burch has also contributed to funding research and philanthropic activities at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York. He also maintains active philanthropic ties to NYU Langone, The China Association of Social Work, The Child Welfare League of China, and The Henry Street Settlement, as well as the Sumba Foundation in Indonesia, where his Nihi Sumba resort is located.
Burch sums up his development as a successful entrepreneur with honesty and candor, admitting, "Early on, I just went with gut instinct and creativity. I didn't really realize that I had any talent, but was fortunately very successful because I came up with good ideas. It wasn't until I got older that I became more reflective on who I am and who others are." He goes on, emphasizing his belief that an understanding of human behavior is the key to success in business. "That kind of metamorphosis comes a lot from being hurt by other people, from when you are wrong, and the pain of disappointment, as well as from the joy when people surprise you. So hopefully the older I get, the better I get at having a clear understanding about why we as people do what we do." It is this kind of sincere reflection that he claims has nurtured his successful journey and ability to achieve far more than he ever dreamed of.

I loved the variety of rides at this park! However, the staff really isn't that friendly. They focused more on talking with each other than the guests. Efficiency is nonexistent at the rides and I think a lot of that has to do with the lack of staffing.
Haunt wasn't that impressive either. A lot of it had to do with the lack of actors in the houses. Some of the props were decent, but not worth the money paid. They also need to separate the groups better so you're not running into people.
Really enjoyed our time here, especially seeing Snoopy, Charlie Brown and the rest of the Peanuts gang.
This is my first time going to the "Haunt" and well I wish I felt haunted.. Dont get me wrong some things are a bit spooky however, the prices of food ( for what you pay it should be eatable and well NOPE) They got rid of the Key Rooms ( I never tried them and wanted to so bad) and upon purchasing of tickets I was told my family and I would get lanyards for which didnt occur. I will give it one more try next year. Hope for improvement.
Compared to years past dorney haunt was a disappointment this year they did away with the skeleton keys and rooms (I really enjoyed the keepsake and key rooms) , there were not nearly as many actors this year. Dorney barely had any actors walking the park I only saw 3. My last gripe is at 7 when they let the haunt loose on the park they had the haunted house actors stand in the audience don't get me wrong that would be nice but they wedged their way to the front and blocked all the younger kids views. Needless to say I think next year we are going to give Six Flags a try instead. It's so saddening we were looking forward to dorney this year and it just seemed to me like a large budget cut was made at the haunts expense .
First off, we are season pass holders BUT i am not happy with the lack of cleanliness at their water park. Labor Day Weekend , wave pool had a peculiar haze to the water.
Different sections in the children's area where water gathers in the pavement were BLACK. I'm only guessing what that slippery stuff is!
Food is outrageous. Simple hot dog and fries for 3 people could easily be $50.
The crowdes from intercity busses can be tremendous over the summer months.
They offer us steady Lehigh Valley locals no break for still being faithful to the Dorney Park we grew up with.


Winning is great and all, but what you really want is to win with some style.
This all went down at Lights Out 8 in south Georgia, as SpeedSociety notes, with JR Pines at the wheel (yoke?) of the white New Edge Mustang, pulling a fair gap on the Fox Body in the other lane. The fun part about all of this is that Pines was clearly in the air the whole length of the 1/8th-mile track, only bobbing down in a spot or two before the nose came right back up.

Nearly three years ago, a schizophrenic, young black man named Ezell Ford was killed during a night-time clash with police officers in South Los Angeles.
On Tuesday, L.A. County District Attorney Jackie Lacey announced that her department would not bring criminal charges against the two officers that shot him, saying Ford posed an immediate threat to their safety.
"[The] physical evidence, in this case, supported the conclusion that Mr. Ford and Officer Wampler were struggling for possession of his service weapon at the time of the shooting," District Attorney Lacey told Take Two's A Martinez Wednesday.
Officers Sharlton Wampler and Antonio Villegas fired on Ford during the August 2014 incident. Lacey says pictures of Officer Wampler's hand, DNA, and a handgun magazine found on the ground were just some of the evidence examined during the investigation. Together, they painted a picture of a "life and death struggle."
What about the Police Commission?
The decision not to bring criminal charges against the officers comes more than a year after a commission ruling that concluded the pair used improper tactics during the encounter, placing blame on Officer Wampler, and, to a lesser extent, Villegas.
District Attorney Lacey says commission transcripts were used in her report, but their ruling didn't make it easier to bring charges against the officers.
"With us, my goal was, should I charge Wampler and Villegas with committing an unlawful homicide? Did they break the law in what they did? And, could I prove [beyond a reasonable doubt] they were guilty of murder, essentially," Lacey says.
Is the LAPD too close to the DA?
The District Attorney and LAPD have a mutually reliant relationship. The LAPD investigates for the D.A.'s office and advises during trials — it's a relationship that the Police Commission doesn't have. Some observers might use that relationship to explain why the DA hasn't charged an officer since 2000. It's a presumption Lacey denies.
"We currently have two off-duty murder cases against two officers. We are prosecuting a couple of officers for sexual assault..." Lacey says. "[We're] very independent. We have our own mission, our own views. We get about 90 of these cases a year... We have our own investigative unit which has 270 officers which are sworn in-house."
Lacey points to law case Graham v Connor, which empowers officers to defend themselves in dangerous situations — even if improper tactics helped make the interaction perilous.
"We feel that, in this set of circumstances, that the officer then doesn't have to lay there and be killed because the stop is questionable," Lacey says. "He has the right to defend himself."
(Correction: A previous version of this post misspelled the last name of Officer Sharlton Wampler. The mistake has been corrected.)

I found it on Google maps, chuchubob is on the money! The High St. Brooklyn Bridge Station is west of that. Interesting!


Yes, this post concludes my St. Patty's Day Celebration. Thank you Lisa for all your all hard work and soulful creations. You're truly inspirational! I cannot ask for any better friend.
Long days. and not enough time to write. Yep, I must confess that's where I am right now: drowned in the sea of fun & fast turn-around design projects. Who am I to complain? I love what I do for a living. I'm a little sad that I can't "share my thoughts" enough with you on this recipe, but… guess what? Lisa bailed me out! She wrote this St. Patty's Day note. Yes, I did include that in the other St. Patty's postings. But it's so good, you might want to read it one last time 🙂 Sláinte!
From the desk of Lisa K.
Irish food is humble, and beautifully so. It does not come out of an excess of ingredients. It is rather, made of simple and inventive combinations of farm staples. Although simple, it is most certainly festive, and comforting. Potatoes, oats, butter, cream, and… stout. People! Dark, brooding, delicious stout. Yum!
My Irish ancestors fall too far back on my family tree for me to have grown up eating Irish cooking. Yet the heart of it still speaks to me. It tastes of hard work and the comfort of family. I remember my Mother making due — extending food in ingenious and yet festive ways. She would scrub potatoes, so that after they were peeled and served mashed, the skins could be saved and fried to make "chips." I loved her clever, cheerful resourcefulness. In Irish food, I taste a similar cheerfulness in the face of hardship.
So why try to recreate these wonderful foods in gluten and somewhat dairy free versions? Sounds like a serious contradiction! Simple cuisine really is supposed to be an homage to the ingredients, right?! Well, I hear you. I prefer traditional, authentic ingredients too! But alas and alack, food allergies and sensitivities being what they are, we also — are making due.
Note: Many people who can not tolerate dairy are able to eat butter. Though these recipes are free of other dairy products they call for butter.
Preheat oven to 375°. Grease an 8-inch cake pan.
Sift the flour, salt, baking powder, cloves and nutmeg into a bowl. Cut in the butter and rub in until the mixture is like fine bread crumbs. Add the apples, toss. Add the sugar, toss. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Add the eggs and milk to the cake mixture to make a fairly thick batter. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan and sprinkle with sugar and nutmeg.
Bake for 1 hour, until crisp, golden brown and springy to the touch.
Place the egg yolks and sugar in a medium bowl and whisk until pale yellow. Place the milk in a heavy-bottom saucepan and bring just to a boil. Slowly whisk the hot milk into the egg/sugar mixture. Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan and stir over medium heat until the custard thickens, a few minutes. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Stir in the vanilla. Transfer to bowl or serving pitcher.
Serve warm over apple cake.
coming from an Irish background, am eager to try your recipe — I know we will enjoy it. Thank you for your blog. It is creative, informative and thoughtfully beautiful in presentation.

Interwencja (ang. intervention) – termin, odnoszący się do akcji podmiotów zewnętrznych, wpływającej na sytuację wewnętrzną suwerennego państwa. Obejmuje szeroki zakres zachowań, począwszy od działań ze znikomą siłą przymusu, aż po czyny z jego wysokim natężeniem. Poziom intensywności przymusu jest czynnikiem bardzo istotnym, gdyż wiąże się z zakresem swobody miejscowego społeczeństwa i zewnętrznym ograniczeniem lokalnej autonomii.

Interwencyjne środki przymusu
Niska intensywność interwencyjnych środków przymusu oznacza dużą swobodę wyboru dla lokalnych uczestników sporów, natomiast ich wysoka intensywność oznacza małą swobodę wyboru.

Rodzaje przymusu według jego intensywności od najniższej do najwyższej:
 wystąpienia i przemowy - np. przemówienie George'a H. W. Bush'a do obywateli Iraku, w celu odsunięcia Saddama Husajna od władzy
 publikacje w mediach - np. powołanie przez USA Radio Martí na Kubie, mającego nadawać programy opozycyjne wobec Fidela Castro
 pomoc gospodarcza - np. pomoc USA dla Kuby w czasie Zimnej Wojny
 doradztwo wojskowe - np. wysłanie pomocy wojskowej i doradców przez ZSRR do Afganistanu w trakcie wojny domowej w Afganistanie
 wsparcie dla opozycji - np. finansowanie opozycji Salvadora Allende w Chile przez USA w latach 70.
 blokada - np. blokada ekonomiczna USA wobec Kuby zniesiona przez Barack'a Obamę w 2014
 ograniczona akcja wojskowa - np. wsparcie lotnicze i naziemne udzielone przez USA siłom lokalnym w Afganistanie, dążącym do obalenia rządów Talibów w 2001
 atak zbrojny - np. operacje wojskowe prowadzone przez USA w Iraku w 2003

GOVERNMENT has urged the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission (ZHRC) to be impartial and investigate matters without bias, as expected of an institution set up to strengthen democracy in the country.
ZHRC is one of several independent commissions established in terms of the Constitution. In a report, the ZHRC staked a number of claimed abuses by the State including over detention of those arrested, indiscriminate targeting of people for arrests and assault by the security forces, violation of right to privacy when police and soldiers allegedly intruded people's homes at night looking for suspects and denial of bail to suspects by the courts.
The Minister of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs, Cde Ziyambi Ziyambi, yesterday said the report was not properly investigated and was overtly biased.
"Government has taken note of the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission report. The Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission is a constitutional commission put in place to strengthen our democracy. There is therefore an expectation that they would be impartial and speak without bias.
"Their report falls short of that standard as it based not on thorough investigation and only covers the period after the first two most anarchical days of the disturbances," said Cde Ziyambi.
He, however, said Government will engage the commission. "Government expects our constitutional commissions not be polarising by making broad and unsubstantiated accusations without caveats or evidence.
"In the interest of fairness and justice Government will engage with the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission in order to map the way forward for the benefit of the people of Zimbabwe," said Cde Ziyambi.
