Rose Bowl hits halftime with No. 6 Ohio State comfortably leading No. 9 Washington
By Bryan FischerJan 1, 2019, 6:45 PM EST
PASADENA, Calif. — It's not officially a New Year in college football until the Rose Bowl kicks off between the Big Ten and Pac-12.
Hoping to send off head coach Urban Meyer into the sunset with a win, the Buckeyes were holding up their end of the bargain through the first two quarters as they took a 21-3 lead at halftime over the Huskies on a perfectly crisp Southern California afternoon for the Granddaddy of them all.
Playing in his last game with the program as well, tailback Mike Weber was the early star of the show for OSU and hit the break with 86 yards rushing. He wasn't the focal point for long despite ripping off a few big gains though, as QB Dwayne Haskins showed plenty to goggly-eyed NFL general managers in throwing for 163 yards and a trio of touchdowns to Parris Campbell, Rashod Berry and Johnnie Dixon on 17/24 passing.
Playing without star safety Taylor Rapp (hip) and losing linebacker D.J. Beavers to a leg injury, the normally stout Washington defense had their moments but didn't get much relief from their offense. QB Jake Browning was a decent threat scrambling and threw for 109 yards while tailback Myles Gaskin recorded 24 yards on the ground in the senior's final game as well.
The Huskies are going to need more however even if they were able to move the chains at times. Their lone field goal drive came early on and we've yet to see one of Chris Petersen's trick plays to get the team going.
Either way, who can complain for either side whether you're in scarlet and gray or purple and gold because the second half of the Rose Bowl is all set for center stage in front of the Arroyo Seco on New Year's Day.

Ryan Day's first staff decision removes interim tag for Brian Hartline

Ryan Day may have to wait for one more game to really be Ohio State's head coach, but the successor to soon-to-be-retired Urban Meyer is already working to put together his coaching staff in Columbus. On Saturday, Day's first official staff decision was made with the removing of an interim tag for wide receivers coach Brian Hartline. Hartline was officially elevated to being the permanent wide receivers coach for Ohio State moving forward.
"Brian is a terrific young coach and mentor to our players and I am thrilled he is on our staff permanently now," Day said in a released statement. "Brian was displaying outstanding leadership qualities when he was a quality control coach, and his efforts coaching the wide receivers this season are a huge reason we are Big Ten champions and headed to the Rose Bowl."
Hartline joined the Ohio State coaching staff in 2017 as a quality control coach with the wide receivers. He was named interim wide receivers coach following the dismissal of former receivers coach Zach Smith this summer.
Ohio State wide receivers played a huge role for the Buckeyes this season en route to a Big Ten championship run that will take the team out west to play in the Rose Bowl next month. Ohio State receivers caught 291 passes for 4,211 yards and 43 touchdowns, fueling a run to being a Heisman Trophy finalist for quarterback Dwayne Haskins. All are new school records for receivers, which were led by Parris Campbell, Johnnie Dixon, Terry McLaurin and K.J. Hill. Freshman Chris Olave proved ready to step up in a big spot too with a breakout performance in the regular season finale against Michigan to clinch the Big Ten East Division.
Time will tell if Day feels a need to make any further staff changes once the season is complete and the Buckeyes officially move into the post-Meyer era under Day's leadership.

Ohio State has late first-half breakdown but leads Michigan at halftime, 24-19
By Kevin McGuireNov 24, 2018, 1:53 PM EST
Ohio State had a 21-6 lead in the final minute of the first half. Then, just a couple of plays later, it was a two-point game. But before the end of the half was over, Ohio State padded their lead in a wild final minute of the first half and the Buckeyes have a 24-19 lead on the Wolverines at the break.
Dwayne Haskins has thrown three touchdowns in the half, including two to freshman Chris Olave and things were looking quite rosy for the Buckeyes in Ohio Stadium Saturday afternoon. But a late touchdown drive by Michigan on a pass from Shea Patterson to Nico Collins was quickly followed by a special teams disaster on a fair catch that gave Michigan another quick possession. A quick touchdown and a failed two-point attempt cut the Ohio State lead to 21-19, but Haskins and company quickly moved down the field to get into position for a field goal after being held out of the end zone.
After the Ohio State defense forced a three-and-out to open the game, the Buckeyes offense got the first points of the game on their first offensive series. Dwayne Haskins got the drive started with a nine-yard run, picked up a first down two plays later with a 16-yard pass to Parris Campbell and ended the drive a few plays later with a 24-yard pass to Chris Olave, who had a clear path to the end zone on the left side of the field. Ohio State became the third team this season to score any points on their first offensive series against the Wolverines, joining Notre Dame and Northwestern.
Michigan managed to cut into the lead but failed to get into the end zone. A dropped pass for what would have been a touchdown by Zach Gentry left Michigan to settle for a field goal from the Ohio State 13-yard line, and a chance to convert a short fourth down at the Ohio State 42-yard line was thwarted by having to burn a timeout for too many men on the field and followed up by a false start penalty to force Michigan to punt. Ohio State capitalized on that opportunity by going 80 yards for a touchdown to extend the lead to 14-6. Once again, Olave was the receiver catching the football for the score.
Haskins has thrown three touchdowns in the game so far, with his third going to a wide open Johnnie Dixon on a 31-yard pass later in the second quarter. Late in the firts half, Michigan needed to get something to be optimistic about and they certainly did with a fantastic effort by Collins for a much-needed touchdown, which was followe dby a special teams mistake by Ohio State on the ensuing kickoff.
Patterson quickly completed a touchdown pass to Chris Evans but Patterson was taken down for a loss on the two-point conversion attempt.
Ohio State gets the ball to start the second half. The winner of this game wins the Big Ten East Division and advances to the Big Ten championship game to face Northwestern next week in Indianapolis. A spot in the College Football Playoff also is potentially on the line as well, perhaps more so for Michigan than Ohio State.

No. 4 Ohio State continues to be be light years ahead of Rutgers
By Kevin McGuireSep 8, 2018, 6:53 PM EDT
Rutgers (1-1, 0-1 Big Ten) made some halftime adjustments and put together their best offensive possession of the game on their first possession of the second half before kicking a field goal from 41 yards out. The field goal ended a 10-quarter scoreless drought for Rutgers against No. 4 Ohio State (2-0, 1-0 Big Ten), but that was the highlight of the day for the Scarlet Knights. Once again overpowered in every facet of the game against the Buckeyes, Rutgers was simply no match for the Big Ten favorites. Ohio State continued their dominance over Rutgers since the two became Big Ten division foes with a 52-3 victory.
Ohio State has won all five meetings between the two schools since Rutgers joined the Big Ten in 2014. The Buckeyes have now outscored Rutgers 271-27.
Dwayne Haskins passed for 233 yards in his second start for Ohio State, with four touchdowns. His backup, freshman Tate Martell, was 10-of-10 for 121 yards and rushed for 63 yards, highlighted by a 47-yard touchdown run and picking up his first career touchdown pass. J.K. Dobbins got an early rest after rushing 12 times for 73 yards and a score. Johnnie Dixon caught two touchdown passes and Parris Campbell caught five passes for 64 yards and a score for the Buckeyes.
Tate Martell just ran for a 47-yard touchdown. https://t.co/FgXLRboFLJ
— Kevin McGuire (@KevinOnCFB) September 8, 2018
The win was the second blowout win for Ohio State in the absence of head coach Urban Meyer, who is serving a three-game suspension. Next week, Ohio State leaves the comforts of home in Ohio Stadium for a matchup with TCU in Arlington, Texas. It will be the final game without Meyer as head coach and should be the most challenging game in this three-game stretch to open the season.
Meyer is scheduled to return to the Ohio State sidelines in Week 4 when Ohio State hosts Tulane, a week before traveling to Penn State for another Big Ten contest.
Rutgers will be back on the road next week and will also play a Big 12 opponent. Rutgers travels to Kansas, with the Jayhawks fresh off a long-awaited road win against Central Michigan.

Tate Martell throws first career TD as Ohio State is routing Rutgers
Dwayne Haskins has thrown for three touchdowns and freshman Tate Martell has thrown his first career touchdown as Ohio State is on cruise control against Rutgers in Columbus this afternoon. Ohio State is leading the Scarlet Knights in the Big Ten opener for each school, 35-0 at halftime.
Rutgers has traditionally struggled mightily when taking to the road against the top teams around the Big Ten, and today is proving to be no exception to that rule. Rutgers started the game by fumbling on the third play of the opening drive, which led to an Ohio State touchdown (Haskins to Johnnie Dixon). Rutgers then punted on their next five possessions, with four three-and-outs in that stretch. Meanwhile, Ohio State's offense has only had to punt twice. Ohio State has out-gained Rutgers 310-49 and has 19 first downs to just three for Rutgers.
J.K. Dobbins has the only rushing touchdown for the Buckeyes so far. Dobbins has rushed for a game-high 73 yards too. Mike Weber has added 33 yards in the running game. Both should have an early rest in the second half, if they are used at all.
Martell's first career touchdown pass was to Terry McLaurin, a 51-yard play.
Go ahead and Sharpie Ohio State in for a 2-0 start, including 1-0 in Big Ten play.

A Family Tree Bears Fruit of Many Colors By Molly Singer
Karen Branan, a CHV member, has been looking her entire life for an anti-racist place to live, and she still has not found it. Nevertheless, her journey has been filled with groundbreaking reporting and research, particularly about her own family and race relations. Branan was a guest author-speaker at the new East City Bookshop on July 26 where she addressed 59 attendees, including many CHV members. Branan's new Pulitzer-nominated book, The Family Tree, holds a conversation on two levels about race issues in the United States. Branan conducted extensive research and weaves a beautiful narrative about a series of events within her own family that cover the gamut of inter-racial families, white power structures that serve to perpetuate oppression and economic exploitation, and community response to race issues. Through the book and storyline, profiling a specific set of events, Branan also illustrates the pervasive patterns and history across the United States. Branan discussed how pervasive inter-racial relationships have been and the ways that DNA testing is shining a light on this reality. Branan also briefly discussed how she has engaged with her newly discovered African American family. She shared the stage at East City Bookshop with two non-profit organizations dedicated to bridging racial divides. A representative from the DC Chapter of Showing Up For Racial Justice (SURJ) spoke about their work to engage whites in a series of conversations to learn about race issues and how individuals can recognize and confront bias and discrimination. Another non-profit, Coming to the Table, unites descendants of enslaved persons and enslavers to foster a healing process. Coming to the Table was started at Eastern Mennonite University, and is a national group with a DC presence. Both organizations have ongoing activities across the city. On Capitol Hill, Hill East is in the process of sponsoring community dialogues to address race and class issues in that gentrifying neighborhood. Did you know that seniors have greater skills at holding a range of perspectives and facilitating productive dialogue among differing groups than any other age group? Imagine a group of seniors as the leaders to facilitate racial and class conversations and change in our community. If you are interested in participating as a part of CHV in dialogues, actions, or activities around race and class issues, please reach out to Molly Singer.

It is estimated that in 2016 milk deliveries in Lithuania will decrease by one percent in comparison to the previous year's level. The Russian ban and reduced export demand resulted in a drop of farm-gate milk prices, reduction of cow numbers and change of the dairy processing industry production profile. It is estimated that in 2016 higher share of milk production will be processed into butter and cheese, which are in demand on the world market. In response to the European Commission's market intervention measures till August 16, 2016 Lithuania placed into the intervention stocks 33,665 MT of Non Fat Dried Milk.
Milk production comprises one fifth of all agricultural produce in Lithuania. It is estimated that in 2016 milk deliveries in Lithuania will amount to 1,420,000 MT, and will be one percent lower than in 2015. In the first seven months of 2016 milk deliveries in Lithuania decreased by 0.9 percent in comparison to the same period of 2015. In 2015 the average farm-gate prices for milk amounted to 21 Euros per 100 kilograms of milk, a 23 percent decrease in comparison to 2014. In August 2016 farm-gate milk price amounted to 18 Euros per 100 kilograms and was the lowest in the European Union.
A decrease of supplies of raw milk in the first seven months of 2016 and improving export markets for dairy products are expected to lead to an increase of farm-gate milk prices towards the end of 2016 and into 2017. The improvement of farm-gate milk prices, is expected to stimulate production in 2017 because many Lithuanian farmers are dependent on the revenue to pay back credits taken in 2013 and 2014 to enlarge and modernize their farms in expectation of the approaching termination of the milk quota system. It is expected that in 2016 milk supplies will be mostly directed for production of cheese and butter which remain in demand both domestically and internationally and Non Fat Dry Milk (NFDM), a residual product for manufacturing of butter. Lithuanian milk processors have adjusted the range of their products after Russia closed its market for Lithuanian products. Processors have increased output of products which can be sold or stored within the EU intervention programs or exported. Fresh products were partly replaced by manufacturing butter and skimmed milk powder. It is estimated that production of skimmed milk powder grew by 10 percent in 2015 and reached 35,000 MT. Production of cheese in 2016 is expected to decline in comparison to 2015 because of the Russian export ban. A drop in raw milk prices in 2015 and first half of 2016 reduced profit margins in dairy production. As a result farmers started to reduce dairy cattle herds in 2015. At the beginning of 2016 dairy cow inventories amounted to 300,489 head, 4 percent less than a year earlier. The trend of dairy herd contraction is expected to continue also in 2017. In 2015 the average annual milk production was 5,636 kg per cow. Lithuanian dairy production comprises almost entirely of cow milk. Goat milk accounts for only 0.2 % of total production. Although there are 31 milk processing plants the five main dairy processors in Lithuania JSC Rokiškio Sūris, JSC Pieno Žvaigzdės, JSC Žemaitijos Pienas, JSC Vilkyškių Pieninė and Marijampolės Pieno Konservai process 93% of all milk purchased in Lithuania.
It is estimated that in 2016 overall consumption of dairy products will decrease by one percent in comparison to 2015 mainly because lower supplies of fresh products. It is expected that higher consumption of butter in 2015 and 2016 will partly offset reduction in consumption of fresh products.
In the first eight months of 2016 value of Lithuanian exports of dairy products was 8 percent lower than in the same period of previous year. The decrease of exports resulted from the Russian ban and lower demand for dairy products within the EU. Major export destinations within the EU are Italy, Poland and Latvia, while Saudi Arabia and United States were the major markets out of the EU. In the first 8 months of 2016 the value of dairy products (mainly cheese) exported to the U.S. amounted to US$ 13 million and was 16 percent lower than a year ago. In the first eight months of 2016 the value of imports of dairy products decreased by 10 percent. Major suppliers of dairy products were Latvia, Estonia and Poland. In the first eight months of 2016 imports of dairy products (mainly cheddar cheese from the U.S.) jumped to U.S. $ 443,031 compared to zero in the same period of 2015. In 2014 Lithuania imported from Latvia 156,000 MT and from Estonia 82,000 MT of raw milk which is processed by the Lithuanian dairy industry.
The Lithuanian dairy sector is oriented towards export: more than 50% of milk and dairy production is exported. Although the largest part of it is taken up by cheese, exports also include powdered milk, butter and other products. As a result of the Russian ban introduced in August 2014, Lithuanian producers manage to find new export markets in Saudi Arabia, Korea, Thailand, and the Philippines.
In response to the European Commission's market intervention measures till August 15, 2015 Lithuania placed into the intervention and PSA stocks 33,665 MT and 926 MT of Non Fat Dried Milk, respectively. It is expected that due to the increase of NFDM export price in the second half of 2016 Lithuanian intervention stocks will remain at the current level. In addition to sales to the EU's intervention of NFDM Lithuania also placed 2,616 MT of cheese and 1,008 MT of butter into the EU PSA stocks.


We are on the food council and want to tell you what we do, and what we are trying to change. We do things like take surveys, walk around the playground asking people questions and then take them to Mr Clapham. Firstly, we ask what we can improve on and they tell us what is good and bad about dinner times. We jot their ideas down in a small note book or piece of paper and keep the ideas safe. Secondly, we have meetings and we all bring up the ideas we have been given and decide whether or not they are possible and if so when they can be done.
Some new foods have been introduced.
Dinner and packed lunch children can sit together.
Parents can come to the Come Dine With Me events.

Q: powershell filter where object and return exact match I have $variables and $Array1
$Array1 contains:

FirstName  LastName   ZipCode                          Race

Alice      Jones      {90011, 90017, 90006}            American Indian, Asian, Hispanic
Allen      Rogers     {90025, 90001}                   African American, American
John       Smith      {90001}                          American
Bob        Wilson     {90025, 90001, 90055, 90084}     African American, American,...
Barbara    Hall       {90025}                          White

I want to loop through $Array1 and check if $Variable is in ZipCode.
If it matches then do some stuffs.
What I have is
foreach ($variable in $Variables) {
    $result=$Array1 | Where {$_.ZipCode -match "$variable$"}
}

For some reason it returns

Allen      Rogers     {90025, 90001}                   African American, American
John       Smith      {90001}                          American
Bob        Wilson     {90025, 90001, 90055, 90084}     African American, American,...

I want the exact match.
Output should be:

John       Smith      {90001}                          American

I tried regex like
$_.ZipCode -match "^$variable$"

but it didn't work.

A: You need to be using the -ceq for an exact match.  This is also a case-sensitive match.  -match/-cmatch uses regex to match patterns
A better comparison operator to use, however, would be -contains.
Where-Object { $_.ZipCode -contains "$variable" }

Make sure both comparisons match type.  If your array uses [Int], make sure you're comparing to an [Int] object.  This can further be simplified in PSv3+:
? ZipCode -contains $variable

Edit for OP:
| Where-Object { ($_.ZipCode.Count -eq 1) -and ($_.ZipCode -eq $variable) }

A: You can modify
$_.ZipCode -match "^$variable$"

to
$_.ZipCode -match ("^"+$variable+"$")

which will evaluate the regex as you wanted.

Turrentine, one of California's leading grape and bulk wine brokers with an international operation now, issued a revealing report on California's 2007 crop now that the official figures are in.
Despite California growers' best efforts to supply Pinot Noir, the hottest variety in the US currently, the total amount produced in California in 2007 was 16%, of more than 14.5 millions bottles' worth, less than in 2006. The shortfall is most acute in the most desirable appellations, both in Santa Barbara County and, especially, in Sonoma County where the crop was down nearly 24%.
Although California has nothing like the severity of shortage of Australia, total volumes produced in 2007 in the prime Coastal areas were down on 2006. In a climate of unparalleled consumer demand, blenders are presumably relieved that at least the Central Valley, supplier of California's most basic wine, produced more in 2007 than in 2006.
Chardonnay, of which there has been a glut in recent years, is now in demand. Steve Fredricks of Turrentine reports lyrically, "Demand is now well ahead of supply for Chardonnay from Santa Barbara County, Russian River Valley and the Carneros district of Napa and Sonoma. The supply of Chardonnay from other regions in the state – and from around the world – has also tightened up. Chardonnay has emerged from many dark years of excess into the sunlight of abundant demand. The demand for California Chardonnay is the strongest it has been in at least eight years."
But the slack will presumably be taken up to a certain extent by Central Valley Chardonnay of which enough was produced in 2007 to fill 52 million more bottles than in 2006, while Coastal Chardonnay volumes dropped by 8 million bottles in 2007 compared with 2006.
Cabernet Sauvignon production was flat in the state as a whole and slightly up in the variety's heartland, both Napa and Sonoma Counties. Fredricks again: "Cabernet Sauvignon is perhaps the most respected red wine variety grown in California and around the world. But, respected or not, both California and the rest of the world developed a big excess of Cabernet Sauvignon. The combination of high quality and average yields in California's 2007 harvest is going a long way to bring Cabernet Sauvignon supply back into balance with demand. Supplies will most likely continue to tighten over the next several years because sales are growing rapidly, but there have been very few new plantings to keep up with increasing demand."
Merlot production fell 9% in 2007, the equivalent of 25.5 million bottles of wine. Sauvignon Blanc was down 4%, enough to fill 3.8 million bottles of wine.
"Some wine critics are rough on Merlot," commented Fredricks, "but American consumers love it because it is generally a softer red wine, flavourful and easy to drink. Sales have been growing at about 5% per year but winery inventories swelled after a massive crop in 2005 and an above-average crop in 2006. The 2007 harvest delivered the best possible combination: high quality, which stimulates demand, and lower yields, which trim swollen inventories. The Merlot excess could turn into a shortage over the next 12 to 24 months."
California growers have been jumping on the bandwagon named Pinot Grigio (sic) so that it is the fastest growing white variety in the entire US. Volumes produced in 2007 were slightly up on 2006.
Turrentine make their pennies by broking wines so it is in their interests to stimulate sales by forecasting doom. Nevertheless, their summary of the current situation may interest you as a wine drinker: "Balancing supply and demand is always difficult in the wine business. Consumer demand can change quickly but vineyards change very slowly, with a period of about four years from planting to first production. Mother Nature also likes to keep things interesting by producing an unpredictable sequence of huge harvests (like 2005) and lighter harvests (like 2004). For the most part, the wine business was glad to see a moderate and high quality crop in 2007. Consumer thirst for California wine, especially premium wine, is very strong and California could soon move from the problems of excess to the challenges of shortage.
"Prices reported in the Grape Crush Report [the official report from the agricultural census takers] declined for Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Zinfandel in the Northern Interior as older, high-priced contracts ended and the grapes were resold at lower prices. So far, however, demand for 2008 grapes is strong and prices are inching upwards again. Competitive international supplies have tightened but everyone is also keeping an eye on the economy and the weather."
So don't forget, folks, always keep an eye out for looming thunderstorms and tax hikes.


It matters little at what level the game of football is played the rules remain or at least should remain the same. The trouble with the professional game is the habitual bending of the laws by players at every given opportunity. Unfortunately commentators aided and abetted by the pundit sitting beside them at the game or those watching back in the studio only serve to confuse the fans even more because they interpret the rules to fit their personal viewpoint.
For example Johnathan Pearce a voluble BBC commentator who often suffers from a case of verbal diarrhoea recently questioned the validity of an offside decision because the ball might have been touched by a defender prior to the goal being disallowed.
(c) gaining an advantage by being in that position".
In simple terms a player is in an offside position when the ball is kicked and nowhere does it state anything about coming off or being touched by an opposing player.
One of our well known pundits Alan Shearer seems to interpret the rules to justify the way he played the game by approving of flapping elbows to gain elevation to head the ball, whilst at the same time calling for referees to award penalties against defenders for holding in the penalty area.
Holding anywhere on the field of play is an offence but players dancing with each other in the penalty box should be stamped out. Two of the most regular performers are Chris Smalling of Manchester United and Martyn Skrtl of Liverpool who should be prime candidates for the next showing of strictly come dancing. Shearers call for the award of penalties is right but his elbow appeal is rejected as the use of an arm or arms to gain an advantage in any circumstances is a foul.
Sad to say there are so many instances of rule bending that to deal with them all would make this piece too long , so more to come another day.


There are many different types of energies that can reside in your home or on your property. It is the negative energies that we are talking about here – they can be spirits, entities or even something else. Most likely you are reading this because you know that something is just not right. We've had clients that are hearing strange noises, televisions are turning on and off and some have even taken pictures or video of something in a corner of the room or peering in through the window.
Heather Hannan and Catherine Varga, the Ghost Busting Gurus, have the gift of being able to identify and transform the energy of people, places and things and have been removing and crossing over "spirit people" or ghosts for 15 years. We also use our gifts to see and remove negative energies affecting properties, relationships, health and wealth, whether from this or a past life. Our reputations have grown and now we are sought out internationally for our expertise. We have cleared the energies of people and properties in the USA, Canada, England, Ireland, Spain, Dubai, South America, Africa and Australia. With our ability to see negative energies we will assess the business or property to determine if there are ghosts or any other type of low vibration energy in the building or on the property. We will identify what type of energy this is and how it came to be on there. We will permanently remove the source of the negative energy and transform the business, building and property to 100% Light.
All ghosts and negative energies are either crossed over (if this is the correct solution) or permanently removed. They are not just moved off your property; they are permanently removed.
We can also do the same assessment for you, your business or your Real Estate listing to determine if you are being affected by any negative energies.
Are you an Agent and your Listing is just not selling?
Your listing has been priced well, shows great and you aren't receiving any offers. It has had tons of showings or maybe it is getting very few showings. The clients are getting anxious and so are you, because you have tried everything.
Did you know that Ghosts or negative energy could be keeping clients away or affecting the closing of a deal? Energy Clearing will permanently remove ghosts or any negative energy blocking the sale of the listing.
There is a real solution to a very real problem. We have been called by realtors or homeowners because they know that something is wrong. They have seen someone or something in their house or on the property. They know this is not a physical presence and it is making them uncomfortable. We have been called because lights are going on and off and doors are opening and closing by themselves. We have also been called when someone passes away on the property and the owners wish to prepare the property for sale. But, the main reason we are consulted is because it just doesn't make sense that the property is not selling!
We have the ability to identify the energies of spirits. We assess every listing to determine if there actually is a ghost or spirit and what is required to transform it into a property that attracts a buyer. I know that we can do the same assessment for you and your business to determine if YOU are being affected by anything that is blocking the sale of your listings and the acceleration of your business.

He has also examined how regulating compassion can create its own costs by changing moral identity and moral principles. His other line of research explores the affective dynamics of moral judgment. He has shown how emotional awareness can enable more informed moral decisions, and how automatic and controlled emotional processes interact to shape moral judgments and decisions to help others. His research has been funded by the National Science Foundation.

He has won many computing-related awards, including the Championship of Singapore's National Software Competition. Prior to coming to the United States, Meng had a successful engineering career in Singapore. (He knew it was successful because nobody offered to fire him).
Meng created one of the world's earliest websites on Buddhism in 1995. He considers himself a Buddhist "on most weekdays, especially Mondays". He is an avid meditator, because meditation facilitates in him inner peace and happiness "without doing real work". Meng occasionally found himself featured on the New York Times and other newspapers. His personal motto is, "Life is too important to be taken seriously".
Meng hopes to see every workplace in the world become a drinking fountain for happiness and enlightenment. When Meng grows up, he wants to save the world, and have lots of fun and laughter doing it. He feels if something is no laughing matter, it's probably not worth doing.

CID Grand Hornu commissioned us to design the scenography for the exhibition "The Limits to Growth!".
An exhibition that explores the ambiguous links between design and the desire for degrowth.
Since the late '60s, researchers from around the world have been pointing out the risks of excessive consumption resulting from an all-out race for growth. Yet the warnings of protesters in the '60s and '70s were not followed up by the necessary measures. Today however, society is realising how the dogma of growth leads to a dead end. Numerous citizen initiatives attest to an interest in more sustainable ways of living.
The exhibition questions the role that design can play in this socialmovement.Can we reinvent design? Can we use design to limit or reduce waste?


Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are caused by progressive weakening of the aortic wall that causes a "ballooning" of the vessel. The aneurysm will grow larger and may rupture if it is not diagnosed or treated. Aneurysms occur most often in the aorta, the main artery of the chest and abdomen and the largest artery in the body. The aorta carries blood flow from the heart to all parts of the body including the vital organs, legs and feet.
There are approximately 15,000 deaths each year related to the rupture of an aneurysm. Ruptured aneurysms are the 10th leading cause of death in men over the age of 50 in the United States, however women are also at risk. A ruptured aneurysm that requires emergency treatment can lead to severe pain, internal bleeding, a sudden drop in blood pressure, and if not treated, death. A ruptured aneurysm is an emergency and procedures must take place immediately to save one's life and to avoid serious complications.
Aneurysms are caused by a weakening of the wall of the aorta, allowing it to expand like a balloon. Inflammation that is associated with atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) helps to accelerate this process, even in young people. Some of the body's naturally occurring enzymes may also cause the breakdown of collagen and elastin in the wall of the aorta. An excess of these enzymes or conditions that activate the enzymes may cause the formation of an aneurysm, or lead to its sudden growth. In rare cases, an aneurysm may be caused by infection.
Aneurysms that have been discovered prior to rupture need to be measured, closely monitored and evaluated for treatment. Small aneurysms can often be left untreated, yet observed periodically to check for growth.
In most cases there are no symptoms associated with AAA. Some aneurysms are only discovered upon rupture. Prior to rupture, aneurysms may be found during a routine physical exam or during diagnostic tests such as ultrasound, X-rays or MRIs, which have been ordered to evaluate some other health problem.
Gender: AAA is five times more likely in men than in women.
Smoking: Smokers are eight times more likely to be affected.
Most abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are diagnosed using an ultrasound scan or with a CT scan, though they can also be diagnosed during a physical exam. The scans are simple, non-invasive exams conducted on an outpatient basis. These exams measure the diameter of AAAs—a key element in determining the best treatment. Many times, AAAs are discovered during imaging tests, such as X-rays or MRIs, that are being performed for other reasons.
The LifeBridge Health Vascular Institute uses ultrasound diagnostic imaging and other non-invasive testing methods to provide objective and reliable assessments for many types of vascular problems, including AAAs.
The risk of a rupture is increased if an abdominal aneurysm is greater than five centimeters (about the size of a lemon) or if the aneurysm is rapidly increasing in diameter—greater than one centimeter per year. Elective surgical repair of the aorta is the only definitive cure. However, risk of rupture must be weighed against the risks associated with surgery. Surgical procedures have a high success rate, with more than 95 percent of patients making a full recovery.
For more information about the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms, call LifeBridge Health at 410-601-WELL (9355).

Il pampepato, o panpepato, o pampapato è un tipo di dolce italiano, nel Lazio e in particolare a Roma viene chiamato Pangiallo. Gli ingredienti e la forma variano secondo la zona di produzione, ma di solito include mandorle, nocciole, pinoli, pepe, cannella, noce moscata, arancia e cedro canditi, uva passa, il tutto impastato con o senza cacao, cioccolato, caffè, liquore, miele, farina, mosto cotto d'uva. Il dolce è poi cotto al forno (meglio se in forno a legna). Viene consumato, di solito, come dolce delle festività natalizie. Resta essenzialmente un prodotto artigianale, infatti in alcune zone persiste la preparazione casalinga e la tradizionale usanza dello scambio del dolce accompagnato da un rametto di vischio.

Storia

Pampepato ternano
Il "pampepato ternano" viene preparato circa dal XVI secolo. Probabilmente la provenienza è il lontano oriente, portato dalle carovane che trasportavano spezie, intorno alla metà del Cinquecento. Poi, la tradizione italica ha aggiunto sapori locali come le noci, gli agrumi e l'ingrediente "segreto", il mosto cotto ("sapa" o "saba" nell'epoca romana), che è difficile da trovare, ma che a Terni viene imbottigliato appositamente per la preparazione del pampepato. Le prime tracce di una ricetta scritta risalgono intorno al 1800.

È un dolce della tradizione contadina, tipico delle feste perché l'acquisto degli ingredienti, soprattutto le spezie, era molto oneroso. Il pampepato ternano viene preparato dai ternani rigorosamente l'8 dicembre, giorno dell'Immacolata Concezione, all'inizio delle festività ma il periodo, a volte, si prolunga fino al 14 febbraio, festa di san Valentino, patrono della città e degli innamorati. Tradizione vuole che almeno un esemplare ne resti incartato fino al giorno di Pasqua, o addirittura dell'Assunzione (15 agosto); questo testimonia la doti di serbevolezza del prodotto, capace di mantenersi a lungo (almeno tre mesi) senza conservanti. Nella ricetta originale non si trovano le dosi esatte di alcuni ingredienti, perché non esistono indicazioni precise; vengono aggiunti "quanto basta", finché non ha il giusto sapore.

Dall'anno 2021 il pampepato ternano è stato insignito di un importante riconoscimento: il marchio IGP.

Panpepato senese

Il panpepato di Siena risale al periodo medioevale.
Nell'800, in onore della Regina Margherita, fu fatto un nuovo tipo di panforte, o pampepato, coperto di zucchero a velo, a cui fu dato il nome di Panforte Margherita.

Pampapato di Ferrara
Le origini del pampapato di Ferrara si ricollegano alla tradizione di preparare i cosiddetti "pani arricchiti" durante le festività natalizie. La ricetta nacque probabilmente nei conventi di clausura del ferrarese, attorno al XV secolo, quando lo Stato della Chiesa aveva forte influenza sul territorio. Secondo alcune fonti la stessa etimologia ha questa origine, in quanto deriverebbe dalla locuzione "Pan del Papa". Ma presto divenne anche un dolce consumato dalla corte ducale degli Estensi, . La forma del dolce ricorda senza dubbio la forma della papalina.

Il pampapato di Ferrara è tipicamente a base di cioccolato fondente, sia nell'impasto sia nella glassatura esterna, dello spessore di 4 mm circa. Nocciole, mandorle, cannella, sentore di pepe, predominanza netta dell'aroma di cioccolato fondente, sono i sapori di questo dolce che, ricordiamolo, si deve consumare fresco e morbido, evitandolo se duro e secco (vecchio).

Panpepato di Anagni

Le origini del panpepato di Anagni vengono fatte risalire al XII e XIII secolo, quando la città ospitava la curia papale, origine rimarcata anche dal nome stesso del dolce, che spesso viene chiamato anche Panpapato (Pane del Papa).

Il Panpepato di Anagni è un panetto a base di frutta secca (noci, mandorle, nocciole, pinoli), cioccolato fondente, mosto di vino cotto (spesso sostituito con il miele) e, talvolta, buccia d'arancia candita e uvetta. Si distingue da quello ferrarese per un minor uso del cioccolato, totalmente assente nella glassatura, l'assenza della cannella e la presenza del mosto di vino cotto.

Dolci differenti
Infine, il panpepato non va confuso con il pan di zenzero, altro tipo di impasto speziato usato per fare dolci (gingerbread) e biscotti (Lebkuchen), talvolta impropriamente nominato con questo nome.

Riconoscimenti
Il pampepato è stato riconosciuto prodotto tradizionale dalla Regione Umbria, dalla Regione Toscana e dalla Regione Emilia-Romagna e inserito nell'apposito elenco del Ministero delle politiche agricole alimentari e forestali.

Il Panpapato di Ferrara o Pampepato di Ferrara ha ottenuto il riconoscimento I.G.P. nel 2015. Il Pampepato di Terni ha ottenuto il riconoscimento I.G.P. dall'Unione Europea Il 23 ottobre 2020.

It's back to school shopping for most of us this month. My youngest daughter attends a special needs school because she has a rare neuro-genetic disorder called Angelman Syndrome. Her school doesn't require parents to purchase or send in any supplies. The only thing I have to buy for her is a book bag to hold her diapers, extra outfit, school communication folder (that the school supplies), smock for eating and swim clothes if it happens to be swim day.
I choose to also purchase a lunch box rather than pay for my daughter to eat meals at school. I do this for several reasons, one of which being that her schedule doesn't match up with everyone else's. She often refuses breakfast, which makes her hungry again a little while after lunch. I end up sending in a breakfast and two lunches. All this food doesn't fit in standard lunch boxes. That is why I was so excited to discover EasyLunchBoxes.
EasyLunchBoxes sells sets of four containers that have three compartments in each container for $13.95. Next, they have a cooler (lunchbox) for $7.95 that fits three of the containers. That is exactly what I needed because I send in three meals. Now all of the food can fit in one lunchbox. Since I save so much not having to purchase school supplies for my daughter, it was well worth it for me to splurge on buying these, although the prices are very affordable anyway.
If you are the type of parent that likes to send food in with your child to school, consider getting these products from EasyLunchBoxes. I don't profit in any way from telling you about this, I just found them to be a Godsend!

Running a business is hard work. But it doesn't have to be quite so hard if you get your business running like a well-oiled machine. The way to do this is to do what you do best, and use experts to do what they do best. This thinking reaps huge benefits for the following reasons.
Allows you time to focus on the parts of the business that YOU provide the best value in, be it sales, production, or management.
Ensures you can spend precious time AWAY from the business rather than spend nights and weekends doing jobs that can be done quicker by others. This allows you to enjoy a more balanced life and approach work fresh.
Reduces the risk of having too many business tasks internalised. If you or your administrator gets sick, who is going to do the bookkeeping and wages?
Ensures the job gets done by someone who is trained in that area, does it day in and day out, and has the right tools available.
Gives you an accountant who truly understands not just the numbers, but what goes on behind the numbers. No longer do you need to feel isolated in making critical business decisions; you can rely on your accounting partner to help you make informed choices.
Reduces the cost of doing the bookkeeping as we only charge for the time it actually takes to do the work, so there is no down time and, as we do this all day long, we are generally quicker.
Saves you overheads that would otherwise be lost on rent, power, rates, office equipment, telecommunications, wages, sick days, annual leave, statutory holidays, and ACC.
And if you can't see what you need on that list, contact us anyway and we'll still probably be able to help.
Our business operates from Auckland, yet our monthly accounts are done by Office Angels in Tauranga. The process is seamless and efficient. I can't imagine going back to the way things were. I do what I do best, someone else does what they do best, and there's no downtime.

Trading with binary options has many advantages, but the thing that describes that describes them at most is the fact that they are simple to be learnt and very profitable. It is not a secret to anyone that binary options are today even more preferred than Forex activity, which is more difficult. Moreover – there are plenty of brokers you can select for your next binary option adventure and most of them are not just reliable and profitable, but also very generous as to their bonuses and special exclusive trading instruments. Speaking of which, another great thing about trading with binaries is the fact that you can choose many options to learn and buy to get money. And today, we are going to talk about one of the most popular binary types – the 60 seconds binary option. Find out the basics behind trading with 60 seconds binary options now!
What Is 60 Seconds Binary Option?
It might be a fixed monetary value. But it might be nothing all. In few words, when you trade with binaries you must predict if a financial event will happen or no. You will also have to consider if the the asset you have chosen will be higher, or lower. If you think that it will be higher you trade a call option. And in case you believe it will be lower, you will trade with put option. In most cases the correct assessment is usually predetermined and it is between 50-80% of the money sum you have traded by buying the particular 60 seconds binary option.
Whatever your 60 seconds binary option is – commodity, stock, foreign currency pair or anything else – always get the latest information about this specific field. So, if you trade with stocks, become updated with the latest progresses or failures of the company that owes the shares you will trade.
Predicting the best moment for trading with 60 seconds binary option is essential, because it is short and every next second is important, because many changes might happen. Also, here you need to be very fast and to have intuition when exactly to react on a particular market movement.
Do not underestimate this factor, either, because no matter how good you are, appearing on a platform that is a scam will ruin your entire strategy. Always, feel free to read our binary options broker reviews to get updated what the best brokers with binaries are.
The price level you choose determines your overall 60 seconds binary option approach. However, if you are a beginner, we strongly recommend you to begin with fixed and low budget till you get prepared for larger investments and larger winnings.
Trading with 60 seconds binary options is a great fun! It is safe, fast and profitable, so give it a try by all means!
