Edward Burtynsky: Anthropocene
Anthropocene is the newest book by Edward Burtynsky to document human destruction of the earth on a geological scale. In photos as beautiful as they are disconcerting, Burtynsky explores issues such as extinction (large-scale burning of elephant tusks to disrupt illegal trade and the black market, the plight of the last white rhino), technofossils (Nigerian landfill sites entirely of plastic, massive concrete tetrapods to protect Chinese coastline from erosion), and terraforming (mines and industrial agriculture). Containing specially commissioned poems by Margaret Atwood published here for the first time, a statement by Burtynsky and a range of essays, Anthropocene presents compelling artistic and scientific responses to these urgent topics.
The book is one part of the larger "Anthropocene" project, a multi-disciplinary body of work with film-makers Jennifer Baichwal and Nick de Pencier which includes a major traveling exhibition, documentary film and interactive website. Its starting point is the research of the Anthropocene Working Group, an international body of scientists advocating to change the name of our present geological epoch, Holocene, to Anthropocene—the period where human activity dominates climate and environmental change. Including images of the video components and augmented reality experiences from the exhibition, the book, like the overall project, combines traditional and new lens-based media in an innovative and dynamic expression of humanity's profound and lasting changes on the planet.
About the photographer:
Edward Burtynsky is known as one of Canada's most respected photographers. His remarkable photographic depictions of global industrial landscapes are included in the collections of over fifty major museums around the world, including the National Gallery of Canada, the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris, the Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Reina Sofia Museum, Madrid, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in California. He has published so far 8 photobooks, including the acclaimed titles 'China' (2005), 'Quarries' (2007), 'Water' (2013), "Oil" (2014), and "Salt Pans" (2016) all 5 published by Steidl.

$100m MOU Signed for Hospitality and Tourism Management Programme in High Schools
Ministry of Tourism | 2018-07-16 10:44:00
The Ministries of Tourism and Education, Youth and Information signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) yesterday, to initiate the first Hospitality and Tourism Management Programme for high school students to gain entry level qualification in tourism, starting this September.
To develop and initiate the Hospitality and Tourism Management Programme, the Ministry of Tourism pledged one hundred million Jamaican Dollars ($100 M) in a collaborative effort with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Information, to prepare young people to enter tourism with an internationally recognised certification in tourism.
Speaking at the signing of the MOU at the Office of the Prime Minister, Minister of Tourism, Hon Edmund Bartlett said, "This signing represents a part of my Ministry's overall effort to invest in human capital development to ensure we have a highly efficient and trained workforce in the sector. Sixty percent (60%), of the value of the visitors' experience lies with service which means any destination that is serious about adding value and remaining competitive must build capacity to offer the level of service required."
"The growth of the sector demands that we have trained and qualified workers and by 2021 we will need thousands of trained workers as 15,000 new rooms come on stream. We are therefore training our workers to lift their level of expertise and service delivery to be on par with internationally recognized standards and starting in high schools is critical hence this collaborative step with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Information," added Minister Bartlett.
The Hospitality and Tourism Management Programme will be for two years and offered to students in Grades 11, 12 and 13. Although the programme will be delivered in high schools, students will be receiving college credits, because it will be delivered in concert with colleges participating in the Centre of Occupational Studies (COS) Programme which facilitates technical training and certification at the college level.
Graduates of this programme will have the following credentials: Associate Degree in Customer Service; AHLEI Certification; NVQJ Certification and Customer Service Industry Association recognition
In endorsing the initiative, Minister of Education, Youth and Information, Hon Ruel Reid said, "It is very timely and consistent with our overall longitudinal view of the education and training sector which is to ensure the system impacts individuals from conception to age 18. The education and training system must respond to the growing demands of the economy so we must ensure as a country we have high level skilled workers."
Speaking specifically to the tourism sector, Minister Reid added that, "Tourism is a people driven industry which means it is imperative that we train the human capital to be able to manage the nuances of the sector and deliver the experiences."
The Hospitality and Tourism Management Programme forms part of the Ministry's wider human capital development thrust, which includes the establishment of the Jamaica Centre of Tourism Innovation, which graduated over 150 hospitality workers in April this year; Team Jamaica educating and generally sensitizing tourism workers at the broad grass root level to what the industry is all about; HEART National Training Agency providing training in various areas of competence for entry level into the industry; and tertiary level institutions providing academic qualification in hospitality.

Uma foice é uma ferramenta agrícola de mão única projetada com lâminas curvadas e normalmente usada para colheita de grãos ou corte de forragem suculenta principalmente para alimentar o gado, recém-cortado ou seco como feno. Falx era um sinônimo, mas mais tarde foi usado para significar qualquer uma das várias ferramentas que tinham uma lâmina curva que era afiada na borda interna, como uma foice.

Desde o início da Idade do Ferro, centenas de variantes específicas da região da foice evoluíram, inicialmente de ferro e depois de aço. Esta grande diversidade de tipos de foices em muitas culturas pode ser dividida em lâminas lisas ou serrilhadas, ambas as quais podem ser usadas para cortar grama verde ou cereais maduros usando técnicas ligeiramente diferentes. A lâmina serrilhada que se originou nas foices pré-históricas ainda domina na colheita de grãos e é encontrada até em modernas máquinas de colheita de grãos e em algumas facas de cozinha.

História

Pré-Neolítico

O desenvolvimento da foice na Mesopotâmia remonta a tempos anteriores à Era Neolítica. Grandes quantidades de lâminas de foice foram escavadas em locais ao redor de Israel que foram datados da era epipaleolítica (18000-8000 a.C.). Escavações formais em Wadi Ziqlab, Jordânia, desenterraram várias formas de lâminas de foice primitivas. Os artefatos recuperados variavam de dez a vinte centímetros de comprimento e possuíam uma borda irregular. Este intrincado design 'semelhante a um dente' mostrou um grau maior de credibilidade de design e fabricação do que a maioria dos outros artefatos que foram descobertos. Lâminas de foice encontradas durante este tempo eram feitas de sílex, reto e usado mais em um movimento de serra do que com o design curvo mais moderno. Pedras dessas foices foram descobertas perto do Monte Carmelo, o que sugere a colheita de grãos da área há cerca de dez mil anos.

Neolítico

A foice teve um impacto profundo na Revolução Agrícola, auxiliando na transição para a agricultura e o estilo de vida baseado em colheitas. Sabe-se agora que o uso de foices levou diretamente à domesticação de gramíneas selvagens do Oriente Próximo. Pesquisas sobre as taxas de domesticação de cereais selvagens sob cultivo primitivo descobriram que o uso da foice na colheita era fundamental para os povos da Mesopotâmia primitiva. A estação de cultivo relativamente estreita na área e o papel crítico dos grãos no final da Era Neolítica promoveram um maior investimento no projeto e fabricação de foice em relação a outras ferramentas. A padronização foi feita até certo ponto nas medidas da foice para que a substituição ou reparo pudesse ser mais imediato. Era importante que o grão fosse colhido no momento apropriado em uma elevação para que a próxima elevação pudesse ser colhida no momento apropriado. A foice forneceu uma opção mais eficiente na coleta de grãos e acelerou significativamente os desenvolvimentos da agricultura inicial.

Idade do Bronze
A foice permaneceu comum na Idade do Bronze, tanto no Antigo Oriente Próximo como na Europa. Numerosas foices foram encontradas depositadas em tesouros no contexto da cultura europeia do campo de urnas (por exemplo, tesouro de Frankleben), sugerindo um significado simbólico ou religioso ligado ao artefato.

Na terminologia arqueológica, as foices da Idade do Bronze são classificadas pelo método de fixação do cabo.

Idade dos Metais

A foice desempenhou um papel proeminente no ritual de carvalho e visco dos druidas, conforme descrito em uma única passagem na História Natural de Plínio, o Velho:

Devido a essa passagem, apesar de Plínio não indicar a fonte em que baseou esse relato, alguns ramos do druidismo moderno (neodruidas) adotaram a foice como ferramenta ritual

Américas

Foices indígenas foram descobertas no sudoeste da América do Norte com um design único. Há evidências de que os ilhéus de Kodiak tinham para cortar grama "foices feitas de uma omoplata afiada de animal". Os artefatos encontrados nos atuais Arizona e Novo México se assemelham a ferramentas curvas feitas com chifres de ovelhas da montanha. Um local semelhante descobriu foices feitas de outro material, como a foice de Caddo, que era feita de uma mandíbula de veado. As escrituras dos primeiros nativos documentam o uso dessas foices no corte de grama. Os instrumentos variavam de treze a dezesseis polegadas de ponta a ponta. Várias outras escavações no leste do Arizona descobriram foices de madeira que foram moldadas de maneira semelhante. As alças das ferramentas ajudam a descrever como a ferramenta foi segurada de forma que a parte interna que continha a superfície de corte também pudesse servir como superfície de coleta para o grão. As foices foram afiadas raspando uma borda chanfrada com uma ferramenta grossa. Esta ação deixou marcas nos artefatos que foram encontrados. O processo de afiação foi necessário para evitar que a aresta de corte ficasse cega após uso prolongado. A borda é bastante polida, o que prova em parte que o instrumento foi usado para cortar grama. A foice em geral oferecia a conveniência de cortar a grama e também de colher em um só passo. Na América do Sul, a foice é usada como ferramenta para colher arroz. Os cachos de arroz são colhidos usando o instrumento e deixados para secar ao sol.

Asian manufacturers welcome cuts
BLOOMBERG , TOKYO
Asian personal-computer makers, which are seeking to reduce costs to salvage dwindling profits, cautiously welcomed Intel Corp's plans to cut prices in the processor chips used in 77 percent of PCs worldwide.
The biggest chipmaker plans to cut prices on Pentium 4 chips by as much as 54 percent as the Santa Clara, California-based company works to recoup sales lost to rival Advanced Micro Devices Inc, analysts said. Intel spokesman Tom Beermann declined to comment.
Price competition between Intel and nearest rival Advanced Micro comes as Asian computer makers struggle to cut costs to improve profitability.
"We would use Pentium 4 in our PCs more if prices fell that much," said Susumu Sakamoto, a spokesman at NEC Corp, Japan's biggest PC maker. Sales of PCs using the high-speed chips are "really small" because NEC didn't start selling them until last November, he said.
The company now prices such PCs for corporate customers at about ?450,000 (US$3,636).
PC shipments in the second quarter fell in the first year-on-year drop since 1986. Mounting inventories have eroded earnings of PC makers and chipmakers this year.
While Samsung Electronics Co -- both a customer and a supplier to Intel -- welcomed a possible price cut, it doesn't expect it to have an immediate impact on chipmakers' earnings.
"It's a good signal for personal computer makers and chip manufacturers," said James Chung, a spokesman for the largest maker of computer memory chips.
"It could help the industry to pick up by the end of the year, but the third quarter is still going to be much tougher than the second."
Samsung is the only manufacturer in the US$30 billion-a-year memory chip business that is still profitable.
Sales of memory chips, over 70 percent of which go into PCs, are forecast to shrink as much as 40 percent this year.
Trigem Computer Inc, the largest producer of personal computers for companies such as Hewlett-Packard Co, doesn't expect a chip price reduction to have a major impact on computer prices.
Intel's price cut "will help computer makers because it will improve their margins," said YH Kwon, a spokesman for Trigem.
But "cuts in chip prices don't usually lead to cheaper computers." Intel may more than halve the cost of its top 1.8GHz Pentium 4 chip to US$260 from US$562 this month, Lehman Brothers analyst Dan Niles wrote in a note to clients yesterday.
The price for a 1.7GHz Pentium 4 will fall 45 percent, with low-end models dropping 30 percent to US$135, he said. Pentium 4, introduced in November, will move up to speeds of 2GHz in the fourth quarter, Niles wrote.
Chipmakers are facing one of their toughest years ever.
Worldwide PC shipments in the second quarter ended June 30 fell 1.9 percent from the same period last year to 30.4 million units, according to market researcher Dataquest Inc.
Advanced Micro has taken 22 percent of the PC-processor market, compared with 16 percent a year ago, according to Mercury Research. Intel's share has slipped to 77 percent from 83 percent.


These large and colorful snails are great for adding some color and decoration to your aquarium, but they also serve some very useful purposes. They clean algae off of glass, plants, and decorations, they eat hair algae, and they keep your substrate clean and the correct color.
Mystery Snails are totally safe with any fish, shrimp, or plants, and are completely peaceful. They are quite large as adults, growing 2"+ in size.
NOTE: If you search on the Internet for mystery snails, many results will state that these are the same species as Apple Snails. These are NOT Apple Snails, though they do resemble them in shape. Apple Snails are considered an invasive species and are illegal to own in the United States. Our Mystery Snails do not grow to the tremendous size that Apple Snails do (often as big as an apple).
- Recommended Aquatic Arts tank mates: Other types snails (Nerite snails, Mystery Snails, Sulawesi Snails, etc.), dwarf shrimp (such as Blue Velvet shrimp, Sakura Fire Red Cherry Shrimp, Neon Yellow Shrimp, etc.). They can also be kept with small to medium-sized, non-aggressive fish.
- Additional notes: With mystery snails, it's a good idea to make sure the water line in your aquarium isn't too high, as these snails tend to climb up to the water line to breathe air. Other than algae and biofilm, they also eat fish or invertebrate pellets and blanched vegetables such as zucchini, kale, spinach, or cucumber. Snails are very sensitive to copper, so watch out for copper if you use tap water in your tank.
All Aquatic ArtsTM (formerly InvertObsessionTM) brand plants and animals come with a 100% live arrival guarantee, plus free email support directly from the owners!
One of the largest plant-safe freshwater snails, Mystery Snails are a popular and attractive addition to any aquarium.
Can grow to over 2 inches - one of the largest freshwater snails in the aquarium hobby.
Feeds on leftover food or almost any kind of fish food. Effective at algae control, and they also eat uneaten fish food.
Mystery Snails move around much faster and are more active than other snails!
Fluval Stratum is the ideal substrate for stimulating the growth of aquatic plants in freshwater aquariums. Plant roots easily penetrate and spread throughout the substrate, allowing plants to obtain a variety of key, readily available nutrients that will make them flourish. The addition of FLUVAL PLANT MICRO NUTRIENTS will ensure a full complement of essential macro and micro nutrients. The substrate's light, non-compacting, porous structure is also highly beneficial to nitrifying bacteria, which rapidly colonize the vast porous surface, providing optimal water quality for plants. Fluval Stratum's inherent properties will help support a neutral to slightly acidic pH, ideal for most plant species and species of tropical fish or shrimp normally kept in planted aquariums. Fluval Stratum also provides new born shrimp with the ideal refuge, allowing them to escape predation until they are large enough to emerge. This highly attractive substrate will not discolor water and helps control organic discoloration usually present when natural driftwood is used.
Adding a SubstrateSource "Amazon Sword"(Echinodorus bleheri) to your freshwater aquarium helps create a natural look for your tank. This plant is known for it's bright green color and bold appearance. As it grows, this plant helps purify your water by absorbing nitrate nutrients. This plant can be grown with moderate light fully submersed under water. We like to position our Amazon Swords towards the back of the aquarium where they can take advantage of deeper substrate and grow out to their full potential as a background plant. Potted plants are grown in 2-inch slotted or mesh plastic pots. The pots are made out of recycled plastic. Potted plants are grown without soil in rockwool media. The rockwool media allows the plants to grow in a clean, soil-free environment, ready to ship. To prepare your plant for the aquarium, first gently remove the pot. SubstrateSource Plant Guide: A plant guide is included with this plant. The guide contains brief care and illustrated setup instructions specific to this plant.
CoraLife's 10K Compact Fluorescent Lamps have high output in a small package. The 10K Lamps are made to produce light similar to the midday tropical sun. Compact Fluorescent bulbs produce high output without using more power.
Java Fern is a very popular plant in the hobby due to its impressive size, density, and its minimal care requirements. Java Fern can thrive even in poorly lit aquariums, and in the right conditions it is a very aggressive grower, meaning it provides excellent waste removal from the water column. This plant is excellent for aquariums that house fish, snails, and dwarf shrimp, as it provides biofilm, hiding places, and security for all aquarium inhabitants. This ships as a 5"x3" mat with 30 to 50 leaves! It comes on a mat of substrate that can be discarded or planted under the substrate. The mat can also be broken into smaller pieces to spread the plant to different locations or multiple aquariums. The Java Fern mat in the picture is one that is planted in one of our personal aquariums, and is the same size we send. All of our plants are bright and healthy because they are kept in a water in a plant-dedicated tank rather than plastic packaging, which means your plant will arrive in top condition.
Top Level Categories for 3 LARGE (1/2 to 2+ inch) Golden Mystery Snails (Algae Eaters) by Aquatic Arts.


Returning senior Lilah Silar leads a young team that is eager to learn and progress.
The Ramblers have been a powerhouse the last two seasons. In 2016, Carteret captured the Central Group I championship. In 2017, the Ramblers won the Blue Division title in an undefeated divisional campaign (two total losses) and were the Group I runners-up. Now, they're looking to keep that success going. Nick Panos, the GMC girls Coach of the Year, will rely heavily on his trio of juniors – captain Amanda Medvetz (163 average, All-Division), Angela Baginsky (163 average, All-Division) and Stella Frank (143 average). Brianna Broehl, another junior, should be much improved from her 128 average from last year. Newcomer Aliyah Davila has been putting up outstanding numbers at try outs and early practices will be a huge contributor. Anna Trachsler will round out the deep starting six. Panos is looking forward to a fun and competitive season with high expectations.
Colonia graduated All-GMC Laryssa Fiore from last year's team that finished second in Central Group II. But the Patriots expect to get production from experienced upperclassmen. Rebecca Hoff (190 average) returns after finishing ninth in the GMC Individual Tournament as a sophomore. Also back are seniors Brittany Langevin (155 average) and Jennifer Weber (145 average), junior Kayla Soto (140 average) and sophomore Sarah Miller (125 average). Junior Robyn Epstein is a top newcomer. Colonia looks to compete for a White Division and group championship.
The Bears captured the GMCT for the first time in school history en route to finishing 17-4 and placed third in Central Group IV. Once again, they return a strong team with several players showing improvements. The Bears graduated All-GMC Madison Steinbeck, but bring back All-Red Division senior Alicia McLaughlin, as well as juniors Catherine Attia and Samantha Lau and sophomore Rebecca Reitano. Freshman Mackenzie Keane, who averaged nearly 200 in tryouts, can make an immediate impact. Fellow freshmen Jayashree Balaraman and Jessica Hansen are also in the mix.
The Eagles return six varsity members. Leading the charge are three seniors and a junior. All-Red Division Samantha Osiadacz will anchor Edison and looks to make a run at the GMC Individual title. Evelyn Peralta, a Complete Athlete Award winner from the school, will be a factor. Raagavi Manavannan is ready to make her mark, as is junior Fabriane Jean-Denis. Look for sophomores Gina Fitz and Chrisitina Osiadacz and junior Jasmin Tewfik to surprise opponents with their growth. Senior newcomer Samiyah Bonds is progressing fast. Rounding out the roster is junior Teri Librizzi, sophomore Kristen Reyes and freshmen Marooba Khan and Makensie Washington.
The Mustangs return two key bowlers that just fell short of making the GMC Individual Tournament in Hannah Cestone and Victoria Mancine. The team has added freshmen, including Abigail Powers – the sister of Vincent Powers, a leader on the J.F. Kennedy's boys team.
The Hawks return six bowlers that provide a good nucleus which should help them compete in a strong White Division. All-Red Division sophomore Yoana Hyman-Cruz (159.6 avg.) made a splash as a rookie. Also back are seniors Anjana Manikandan (134 avg.), Aditi Potnuru (114 avg.) and Depti Chauhan (105 avg.), junior Freya Patel and sophomore Tarunya Sabapathy (108.5 avg.). Freshmen Jacquelyn Trotman, Ariyana Rahman and Ikshita Achanta hope to make an impact.
The Blue Jays return three key starters in Jessica Dunbar, Angele Garcia and Sam Gorel. Dunbar is looking to improve on her successful sophomore campaign and become a key leader. Top newcomers include Megan Lepoidevin, Talia O'Connor, Devin Dawson-Pavlocak, Breeana Trivigno and Angela McMahon.
Falcons sophomore Heather Casper is off to a hot start. The young Monroe team also includes junior Jamie Cashman and sophomores Mia Baldassano, Kayleigh Craver, Ipsa Mishra and Krisha Mohan.
The Mother Seton roster includes seniors Hannah Cherrey and Jaylin Monroe; juniors Danielle Bongiovanni, Dominique Liantonio, Jessenia Maldonado, Yahnie Waldron and Kiara Watkins and freshmen Jaden Christmas and Morgan Paige.
In the preseason, New Brunswick only had five eligible players. Fourth-year head coach Mike Mitchell reports the Zebras are extremely young and inexperienced, but are looking to improve as the season matures. Freshman Andrea Herrera is a top newcomer to the team.
The new-look Raiders will have to replace four seniors from last season's team. Returners Darcy Fruhschein and Kyla Farmer will be joined by three freshmen. The coaches expect both of the veterans to vastly improve their averages from last year and to build up the team to remain competitive.
The Knights have three returning seniors who are fantastic role models for the newcomers. Grace Bucca, the new captain, averaged 152 last winter with a career-high game of 225. She also bowled a 585 series and placed 30th at the GMCT. Also back are Haven Traverzo (136 average), who the Old Bridge coaches say always makes sure her teammates are comfortable and focused, and Madison Kennedy (106 average), last season's Most Improved bowler. Also making the team is senior Lauren Hincapie, junior Julia Josephs and freshmen Dianna Torres, Brooke Zazulkewicz, Callie Rivera, Stephanie Kotropolous and Nora Conklin.
The Panthers are led by three returning seniors – Sarah Kennedy, Amy Gomez and Jennifer Sousa. The future looks bright with eight freshmen out for the team in Shakema Griffin, Yesica Chico, Madalyn Merino, Janyse Ramos, Emely Rodriguez, Yanibel Gomez, Jessica Hernandez and Lena Chau.
The Chiefs top returners are junior captains Jordan Cho and Sydney Cho.
The Bombers have a solid balance of returners and newcomers with hopes of capturing a division title. While they graduated two starters including Melissa Yataco (fifth place in the GMCs), the Bombers return four starters. They include senior captain Raina Wright (141 average) and junior captain Sam Syzmanski (145 average). A pair of juniors Idaysa Dickerson (125 average) and Sharise Shaw (128 average) bring experience. The top newcomers include Amber Bender (So.), Robyn Haydu (Jr.), Skylar Pabon (Fr.) and Vanesa Rodriguez (Fr.).
The Vikings seem primed to again be one of the GMC's best teams. They return four starters from a 14-1 squad that won the Red Division, reached the GMCT final, placed second in Central Group IV and fourth in Group IV. South Brunswick also captured the Woodbridge Classic Tournament title. All-Red Division bowlers Jillian Kwock (Jr., 171 avg,) and Rachel Guida (Sr., 167 avg.) are the headliners along with returners Sunny Senthil (Sr., 149 avg.) and Katelyn Schwab (So., 148 avg.). Shibani Athreya (133 avg.) and Riya Patel (114 avg.) saw time last season and freshman Abby Lepore is cracking the starting lineup.
Lanasia Neal is off to a great start. Unfortunately for South Plainfield, the star bowler doesn't have any eligibility left. Neal, who won the NJSIAA Individual Tournament as a sophomore in 2016, had a storied career for the Tigers. Now as a freshman at powerhouse Fairleigh Dickinson University, she was named the Northeast Conference Rookie of the Week in late October. The current Tigers, though, return three talented starters from an 11-6 team. Hallie Bisgaard (Sr., 150 average), Samantha Lorito (Jr., 146 average) and Athena Annum (so., 110 average) form a strong nucleus. Varsity newcomers looking to make an impact include senior Karla Cherres Silva and sophomores Samantha Jaipersaud and Chioma Ibeku.
Eleni Feggulis returns from an all-star junior season. Her highlights include finishing fourth in the GMC Individual Tournament, 15th in Central Group I and getting selected All-Blue Division, while averaging a 186. Also back is Kayelena Brimage, who was selected All-Blue Division and finished 18th in the GMCT. Rounding out the returning varsity members are seniors Hailey Zito (115 average) and Stefany Rafael (118 average). Sophomore Briana Luciano is a promising newcomer.
The Barrons return seven bowlers from last season and look to be competitive in the Red Division. The veterans include Eliza Abreu (Sr., 177 average), Meagan Raimondo (Jr., 165), Breanna Tolocka (Jr. 160), Leah Gautier (Jr., 157), Sarah Fail (Jr., 141), Isha Chada (Sr., 127) and Samantha Leonard (So., 125). Top newcomers include freshmen Ashley Tolocka and Jasmine Morales.

Novak Djokovic has Australian visa cancelled for second time
Revealed: the mince pies that topped a taste test and beat more expensive rivals
By Isabella Boneham
Thursday, 18th November 2021, 10:04 am
Updated Thursday, 18th November 2021, 10:05 am
Mince pies from Iceland, Tesco and Co-op all shared first place in Which? Magazine's annual Best Buy mince pie survey.
Iceland's Luxury All Butter Mince Pies cost just £1.89 for a box of six, while Tesco's Finest Mince Pies and Co-op's Irresistible All Butter Luxury Mince Pies are £2 for six.
The less expensive mince pies have beaten pricier rivals Marks and Spencer's and Morrisons.
Why did the less expensive mince pies win?
Iceland's mince pies were praised for their zesty taste, according to Which?.
The mince pies from Iceland include yuzu juice, cider, port, brandy, and assorted vine fruits.
Iceland's mince pie delicacies have now earned a Best Buy award for the second year running.
Tesco's mince pies were also commended for their strong mince pie filling, while Co-op's were described as "packing plenty of festive flair".
What about mince pies from other stores?
Marks and Spencer's Collection Mince Pies which are on the pricier side costing £2.50 for 6 were defeated by the cheaper supermarkets.
Morrisons' The Best Deep Filled Mince Pies, £2 for 6, also fell short.
However, the mince pies from both of these supermarkets were still complimented by the judges.
As for Sainsbury's mince pies, costing £2 for 6, and Aldi's pricing at £1.49 for six, both were said to have left a poor taste.
What has been said?
"Our panel of enthusiasts have tasted pies from the biggest supermarkets in the UK to find out which ones will make the holiday season extra festive this year," Lisa Barber, Which? magazine's home products and services editor, said.
The Which? ranking was conducted by 66 demographically representative consumers who regularly eat mince pies.
Ms Barber said: "For many of us, mince pies are the taste of Christmas.
"Iceland has triumphed for the second year in a row but competition was tight between the top contenders in our blind tests, and there is a bigger than ever range of Best Buy pies at affordable prices this year."

3 Top Penny Stocks To Watch As Redditors Buy The Dip

Even though the stock market is trading lower, there are still plenty of opportunities to make money. You just need to know where to look. What some retail traders are doing right now is looking for hype and popularity on social media.
There are multiple ways to find the most active penny stocks today. One way is to look at trading volume, especially compared with other days. If a certain day has higher than average daily volume for particular penny stocks, that can indicate something is going on.
Another indicator currently popular among penny stocks traders is to look at social media outlets like Reddit and Twitter. Often, many people talking about the stock on social will drive momentum. That can increase the overall popularity of a specific company more than usual. This is important because it provides the trader with a two-front approach to penny stock trading: increased awareness and active social media debate.
A third way of tracking popular penny stocks is to monitor social media mentions, in general. Since so many active traders use Reddit, there's a strong chance that they'll post about newly trending companies such as the day's top penny stocks before they become popular on mainstream websites.
This can also drive up the trading momentum because so many more people are using social media in general. Today we look at a handful of top penny stocks Redditors decided to buy as the market dips. The question for you: are they worth the hype or should you run in the other direction?
Reddit Penny Stocks To Buy [or avoid]
Splash Beverage Group Inc. (NYSE: SBEV)
ReTo Eco-Solutions (NASDAQ: RETO)
RedHill Biopharma (NASDAQ: RDHL)
One of the hottest penny stocks this week is Splash Beverage Group. The initial catalyst came on Tuesday after one of the biggest updates from the company to date. Splash Beverage received authorization to sell its TapouT performance drink in 47 Walmart (NYSE: WMT) stores in Florida.
The beverage company owns a portfolio of leading alcoholic and non-alcoholic brands ranging from single-serve wine (Copa di Vino) to its TapouT performance drink. With early-stage brand development as its mission, this latest win in dozens of Walmart stores was a big catalyst to start 2022 on a high note.
Read: Best Penny Stocks to Buy Today? 3 That Climbed in Premarket
Over the last 4 sessions, SBEV stock has surged from around $1 to highs of $1.99. The additional chatter on social media seems to have maintained the hot streak with SBEV stock hitting those highs on Thursday.
When it comes to actively traded penny stocks today, ReTo Eco-Solutions is on the hotlist. Since mid-December, shares of RETO stock managed to climb from lows of $0.75 to over $1.80 this year, so far. At the center of attention is ReTo's technology platform offering solutions for ecological improvement for its clients.
This year, all eyes are on the company's latest pending acquisition. ReTo entered into a deal with Hainan REIT Mingde Investment Holding to buy 100% of the company. Ultimately, this acquisition would give ReTo the 61.55% equity interest of Yile IoT Technology that REIT Mingde holds. Yile is a tech company developing Internet of Things technologies for auto rental, ride-sharing, and logistics in China.
"We are excited about the acquisition of REIT Mingde as we believe this transaction will enable us to integrate Yile IoT's technologies into ReTo and accelerate the upgrade and growth of ReTo's business. With the support of IoT technologies, ReTo strives to become a technology-driven provider of services for ecological and environmental protection industries, and increase value for our shareholders," said Hengfang Li, CEO of ReTo.
A recent name on the list of hot penny stocks today is RedHill Biopharma. Shares surged on Thursday thanks to new data revealed following an analysis of its Phase 2/3 study in COVID patients. Specifically, the company's drug candidate, opaganib improved the median time to viral RNA clearance by at least 4 days. With the update announced mid-session, traders continue digesting the news as RDHL stock has headed higher.
"Opaganib is the first oral novel drug candidate to demonstrate SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA clearance in hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia. It also provides the first clinical demonstration of opaganib's potential antiviral activity, supporting the 62% reduction in mortality seen in the post-hoc analysis of a large subset of patients from the Phase 2/3 study," said Dr. Mark Levitt, RedHill's Chief Scientific Officer.
The company also said that it was in discussions with multiple regulatory agencies regarding potential pathways to approval. In light of the latest development and on the heels of its recent licensing deal for another treatment (Talicia) in the UAE, RDHL stock has gained some attention from retail traders today.
Should You Buy The Dip Or Wait?
When it comes to trading stocks, in general, timing the market isn't as easy as it might sound. Because of this, having an actual strategy in place is crucial. Layout your possible entry and exit targets and determine how you want to go about your trade. Also observing certain trends and catalysts should play a role.
Is a stock moving because of news or is social media hype the only driving force? What are traders speculating on that has made them bearish or bullish on a given penny stock? These are just a few of the questions to have answers for prior to making your trade decision. The goal is to make money and in doing so, set yourself up for success with the best tools and information possible.

The Chickenshit Hits the Fan
On Tuesday, Chick-fil-A's announced that it would stop donating to The Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Chick-fil-A's announcement seems to be apocalyptic. It has caused a disruption to the religious Force that I have not seen since the ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges.
As you will appreciate, the conservative Christian angst has nothing to do with the support of the Salvation Army and others. Rather, it is the sense that they have given LGBTQ people a victory. These are zero-sum people. When a company takes steps not to discriminate against LGBTQ people that somehow means that they are discriminating against conservative Christians.
At the Washington Times (AKA The Moonie Daily) Tammy Bruce has penned Chick-fil-A ends support to Salvation Army after bullying by left.
…Chick-fil-A has become beloved among many Americans … for its commitment to community and proud support of Christian nonprofits … But all of that may be changing after years of being bullied by the gay rights machine accusing it of a supposed "anti-LGBT" agenda.
If conversion therapy actually worked (it does not) I would hope that Ms. Bruce would become straight.
Hate group leader Tony Perkins demonstrates his learned restraint with Chick-fil-A: Catering to the Liberal Mob. Tony has a very focused response:
Most of us who were there on that sunny August day will never forget. For everyone else, there's a sign: "Above this plaque is a bullet hole. It marks the heroic action taken by Family Research Council employee Leo Johnson on August 15, 2012." That was the morning Floyd Corkins walked into our lobby and changed FRC forever. He'd bought a gun and learned how to use it. He'd loaded three magazines. In his backpack was a stash of chicken sandwiches that he planned to smear in the faces of staffers he hoped to kill. "They endorse Chick-fil-A," he said. It would be a "statement against the people who work there."
Perkins's solution to gun violence:
As Americans, we must carefully consider the path we take in addressing this present and growing crisis. New gun laws never achieve what a commitment to the Golden Rule can accomplish. America will be safer if all of us do unto others as we want them to do unto us.
The Golden Rule which Perkins claims to cherish doesn't seem to apply to LGBTQ people. Family Research Council is a hate group.
The quest for victimhood is endless: Chick-fil-A HQ forbade two restaurants to host me, says conservative author Todd Starnes
Mr. Starnes, who has the intellect of cottage cheese, loves being a victim. It is a fetish that surpasses all other things like getting laid.
Daniel Davis expresses his sorrow at Heritage Foundation's blog: Chick-Fil-A, Your Compromise Is Demoralizing.
Oh the poor dears:
The reality is unavoidable: Being known as a conservative Christian brand is bad for business in liberal cities.
In general, people are indifferent to a company being a conservative Christian brand. Enabling and subsidizing bigotry is another matter.
Meanwhile Dr. Michael Brown explains: Why You Can Never Appease LGBTQ Activists.
For many years I have said that the unspoken mantra of LGBTQ activists is, "We will intimidate and we will manipulate until you capitulate." Chick-fil-A is now learning this lesson the hard way. Appeasement is not enough. Total capitulation is required.
Don't you just hate when people tell others what you say when it is not what you say? The message to Chick-fil-A was simpler: Don't expect LGBTQ people, their families and allies to patronize a business that enables and supports anti-LGBTQ bigotry.
Brown has another polemic elsewhere titled A Christian Appeal to Chick-fil-A.
Please do not cave in to LGBT activists and their allies. Please do not capitulate to the pressure of the radical left. Please do not throw the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) and the Salvation Army under the bus. Please reverse your decision to no longer fund these important Christian organizations.
Very compelling. I am sure that the company will heed Brown's plea as it expands into new markets.
American Family Association (another hate group) make CFA a victim but at the same time warns of reprisals: After battling Left for years, Chick-fil-A takes it on chin for bowing to them
America's most popular fast-food restaurant has drawn the ire of loyal customers and longtime defenders after dropping the world's largest charity organization under pressure from homosexual activists.
It is the kind of language they use in advance of one of their silly boycotts. However:
AFA, known for calling for boycotts, is instead asking the public to sign an online petition to urge Chick-fil-A to reverse its donation decision.
At the petition site they quote all-around douchebag Mike Huckabee who gets more irrational by the day (he was once somewhat reasonable):
I'm sure you've heard that Chick-fil-A has fully surrendered to the very leftist anti-Christian hate groups. In August 2012, I asked to help promote Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day. It was an incredible display of quiet, loving support and record sales. I now regret that I did it and that I invited your participation. Sad day. I wonder how long before they go ahead and open on Sundays?
The wording of the petition includes: "…it looks like you are abandoning Christian values and agreeing with homosexual activists who say believing the Bible makes you a hater."
Aside from silly boycotts, AFA specializes in promoting self-serving bullshit which includes saying what we say when it is not what we say. Suffice it to say, we don't care if someone believes in the sanctity of arugula. The issue is not beliefs but conduct. AFA believes that the truth is less motivating than their lie.
Finally, Doug Mainwaring — LifeSiteNews' house faggot — writes: Amid Chick-fil-A controversy, pro-family and LGBT groups find rare agreement: 'Gays have won'
Mainwaring is quoting a tweet by Zach Stafford, editor of The Advocate.
Many conservative and pro-family commentators drew the same conclusion, expressing anger and disgust, and a heavy dose of skepticism regarding the motives behind the fast food giant's move.
The motives seem pretty clear to me. Chick-fil-A wants to attract franchisees and customers in markets that are not tolerant of intolerance. I suspect that they might be planning for an IPO in the future which is the best way for ownership to make their equity liquid. Some of the existing franchisees have been hurt by Chick-fil-A's reputation. Those people want to maximize their potential customer base.
The calculus seems simple. There are probably more people who might now patronize the company than Christian who choose to forgo the unhealthy chicken sandwiches.

Freshman Clint Oldehoeft, junior Macy Due, and freshman Jaiden Papik (left to right) work on digitizing images and collecting information about pictures collected for the History Harvest project. The students recently visited the Exeter Senior Center to collect pictures from community members for the project.
Juniors designed posters about concepts relevant to their reading of The Jungle and presented them to the class.
Greetings from the Exeter-Milligan 10-12 English and Journalism classroom!
This semester, we have been busy in our English courses. Each grade has participated in a novel study, and we have been busy learning new vocabulary words and reviewing grammar concepts. In 10th grade, students read the novel Frankenstein, seniors read the novel Ender's Game, and juniors are currently working on the novel The Jungle. With each new story comes new ideas, thoughts, and reflective moments, and it's always interesting to hear what the students have to share in class!
The journalism girls have been troopers this semester as we have been coming up with new ideas to share news around the school and throughout our social media channels. The journalism girls write a large number of the posts on the school's Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram pages. They also write a newsletter each week, which features a student of the week, faculty member of the week, upcoming events, jokes submitted by elementary students, and wellness tips to help students make healthy choices.
Another project that the journalism students have been involved in is the History Harvest project, which is being led by Mr. Brian Murphy. This is an exciting project that allows community members to submit old pictures to us so that we can digitize the photos. Eventually, we hope to have a website that contains the digitized images and stories of the origins of each of the pictures.
Thank you for reading about our classroom! I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday break with family and friends!

Hades II announced at Game Awards 2022, coming to Early Access in 2023
Featured, News, Switch
System: Nintendo Switch
NA Release Date: 2023
Developers: Supergiant Games
Demo Available?: No
More About Hades II
Guide – Here's how to obtain and use Roy in Fire Emblem Engage
Roy, hero of Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, returns in Fire Emblem Engage as the Emblem of the Young Lion, who will assist your army in its quest. Roy is a well-balanced Emblem that leans a bit into the defensive end. Synchro Skill Hold Out will allow his unit to…
The Game Awards proper got off to a hell of a start, revealing the followup to Supergiant Games' (under)earth shattering rogue-like Hades. How do they follow up a game of that caliber, with beloved characters and impeccable gameplay? Well… with a direct sequel, naturally!
Hades II looks to be all that was loved about the first game and more, appearing to take inspiration from the titanomachy — or at least bringing Kronos to the setting as a core antagonist. New gods, like Apollo, and plenty of original characters are on the way. But most curious of all is our lead, Melinoë, per the video's description (which you can view below). What is her relationship with Zagreus, and how does it all tie back to the seemingly imprisoned Hades himself?
Time will tell, and while no consoles were announced for Hades II we do know it will be coming to Early Access much the same way as its predecessor. With how it debuted on Nintendo Switch (and received rave reviews from us and about everyone else on the planet), I truly hope to see this world return to Nintendo's handheld hybrid.
Written by Ricky Berg
When he isn't writing for Nintendo Wire, Ricky's anticipating the next Kirby, Fire Emblem, or if the stars ever align, Mother 3 to be released. Till then he'll have the warm comfort of Super Smash Bros. to keep him going.


I'm not feeling blue but I must say that I love these blue colours that I have been seeing lately. The image above is from the portfolio of photographer Luis Albuquerque. Isn't that a gorgeous shade of blue?!
The image above and below were found on Decorology.
The blue colour on the wall is just gorgeous. I'm also loving the other jewel tones in this Swedish interior.
Unfortunately I can't remember where I found the images above..
So vibrant and alive! I don't decorate with jewel tones personally, but I do love the look in others' homes. Happy weekend!
Thanks Amanda! Have a wonderful weekend yourself!
Totally love that color scheme. It's very bold – I don't know if I could live in it but I can sure appreciate it!
Love that rich blue – reminds me of a living room in an old Tricia Guild book that I always pined after; thanks for sharing this! Gorgeous.
Happy weekend to you all! Glad you like this post.
Love the jewel tones- especially the blue/purple/gold combo!


The evolution of two-level atomic system, in which the initial state is excited state, is investigated by adjusting the structural parameters of the dynamic and static double Lorentzian environment reservoir. In a static state (no modulation), we studied the effects of half width, center resonant frequency, and specific gravity on the evolution of energy level population. Under dynamic modulation, we used the dynamic cavity environment to control the evolution of spontaneous emission from an excited two-level atom. The dynamic modulation form for the half width of the double Lorentzian environment reservoir includes the rectangular single pulse, rectangular periodic pulse, and slowly continuous pulse. These conclusions make the idea of using the environmental change to modulate the coherent evolution of atomic system become true.

Rise of the Battleship II is currently in the final stages of development. So pre-dreadnought fans stay tuned for more news!
Needless to say, we are excited the the starship gaming community has embraced Colonial Battlefleet with such enthusiasm. Colonial Battlefleet: Man vs. Machine has already reached 'Copper' best seller status in just two days, placing it in the top 2% of products sold though the site.
So, once again, we owe a big thank you to our fans for your support! Thank you!!
. . . stay tuned for the release of Rise of the Battleship II.
So we're back from vacation and ready to work!
Went on a cruise, and it was lovely! Found myself ranging distances to other targets. . . I mean. . . cruise ships from the balcony of my stateroom. I'm convinced that if some cruise line would just set up a 40mm mount on the bow, and charge people to shoot it while in the open ocean. . . . maybe even provide target buoys, that cruise line would be the most popular cruise line in the world and would practically be able to print money. Maybe Steel Dreadnought Games should expand into the cruise industry? Just need about a billion and a half in start up capital. Any offers?
Anyway. . . we're back at work on our first fleet book supplement for Colonial Battlefleet. Man vs. Machine, and we're very excited about making it available to the starship gaming community. Naval Thunder: Rise of the Battleship II is also on deck and still planned for this year. Check out our forums for a number of other games we are considering, and give us some suggestions of your own!
Steel Dreadnought Games has released an update to Colonial Battlefleet, based on player feedback at the Steel Dreadnought Games (SDG) forums.
A core design goal for Colonial Battlefleet was to bring to market the first unbreakable construction system in the starship gaming genre. After it's initial release, we sought feedback from our customers, and the consensus of opinion was that in achieving our design goals, we'd been a touch too conservative in some areas - including the always problematic issue of space fighters.
Together with our forum regulars, we waded into the details and managed to increase the potency of a couple of weapons systems (including fighters) that had been slighted - without jeopardizing game balance. While we were at it, we made a few tweaks to the tech trees and starship roles, to better ensure the competitiveness of all the different options.
We owe a big 'thank you' to our loyal customers for helping us make Colonial Battlefleet the best game it can be, as well as the hottest-selling starship game on the market.
Players of Colonial Battlefleet should be on the lookout for the first two Fleetbook expansions to be released later this year with more weapon systems, more options, new fleet lists, and expanded rules for further tailoring the game to specific styles of space combat. The campaign system is also in development and is targeted for release in the first half of 2011.
As always, existing customers can download the updated version for free from Wargame Vault. The starship builder tool has also been updated to reflect the changes.
The Colonial Shipyard shipbuilding tool has been updated to version 1.1.
- Fusion torps are now purchasable as equipment for ship carrying TL 5 fighters.

In the far future, Terran colonies are warring amongst themselves, even as a hostile xenophobic race approaches, bent on scouring all 'alien' life from the galaxy. Take control of a task force of starships from your colony world and lead your fleet to victory or die a horrible death in the cold vacuum of space! Anything from a stealth destroyer to a mighty battleship is yours to command.
Colonial Battlefleet features easy to learn rules and exciting game play with minimal time spent waiting between turns. Shooting and damage resolution is easy and yields plenty of carnage. Best of all, Colonial Battlefleet is not a "luck of the dice" game. Although the rules are very straightforward, the game offers tremendous tactical depth and your command skills will be put to the test! There are no cumbersome or complicated systems to slow down play. All your attention will be focused on outmaneuvering and outwitting your opponent - not trying to remember rules.
The core rules come with a rich background which includes three playable factions. In addition, rules for creating your own factions are provided, and the system will support starship combat from any sci-fi setting. Technology trees allow you to easily tweak the rules to match the style of starship combat from your favorite books, movies, or TV shows.
Ten starship roles like 'Flagship', 'Battleline', or 'Screen' that define each ship's purpose and gives them bonuses that are relevant to that mission.
Optional rules for boarding actions, black holes, planets, warp storms, relatavistic distortion, the dangers of simultaneous warp point transit, and more!
Customers with Excel can take advantage of the point-and-click starship construction tool that is included with the files. You can even save your classes and print off entire fleets in mere minutes.
Colonial Battlefleet represents a new benchmark for fun in starship gaming. Forthcoming products include a strategic campaign system, as well as fleet books for several popular miniature lines providing official stats and custom rules for each.
There can only be one! Make sure it's yours.
Colonial Battlefleet is available as a PDF download through wargamevault.com for $19.95. See the Colonial Battlefleet page for more information, or our products page to purchase.
Just a head's up. Things have been crazy busy around here, and its caused some delays on getting Colonial Battlefleet out the door. It's been in final stages for a month now. But things are turning around. We're going to try real hard to get it out in May, so keep your eyes peeled for the announcement. We're sorry for the delay, but when it's out, we're sure you'll feel your patience has been well rewarded!
If you don't manage to snag a ticket, never fear. It's pretty common to have at least one no-show each game. So bring your generic tickets and just show up. We'll do our best to fit you in. With all the events we're running you've got a pretty good shot at getting in sometime.


The chair of APEC rotates yearly among its members. The APEC chair usually hosts the annual meetings of ministers and, since 1993, of leaders. Senior officials of all member economies generally meet four times throughout the year to develop recommendations and to ensure follow up.
APEC has three main committees: the Committee on Trade and Investment; the Economic Committee; and the Budget and Management Committee. A senior officials' subcommittee is responsible for overseeing the Economic and Technical Cooperation (ECOTECH) work program.
APEC also has nine sectoral working groups in the following areas: energy; fisheries; human resources development; industrial science and technology; marine resources conservation; telecommunications; trade promotion; transportation and tourism. These working groups promote practical cooperation among members to build capacity in their respective area.
Ad hoc groups address issues such as agricultural technical cooperation, small and medium enterprises, and environment and sustainable development.
