With the rise of low-carb, ketogenic, and Paleo diets, cauliflower has become an increasingly popular and versatile non-starchy vegetable. Cauliflower is often referred to as the "king" of the Brassica family because it packs a lot of fiber and cancer-fighting nutrients. While its family origins date back more than 2,000 years, cauliflower became popular in Europe during the 1500s. (It was also favored by King Louis XIV, who reportedly demanded it be served at all state dinners.) The name means "cabbage flower," coming from the Latin "caulis" (stalk) and "floris" (flower).
Once strictly a white vegetable, you can now find green, orange, and purple varieties of this cruciferous (named for the cross-shaped flowers) cousin of broccoli and Brussels sprouts. Cauliflower is available year round, but its peak season is late summer through late fall.
Nutrition Facts
The following nutrition information is provided by the USDA for one cup (107g) of raw, chopped cauliflower.
Sodium: 32mg
Carbohydrates: 5g
Fiber: 2g
Sugars: 2g
Carbs in Cauliflower
Like all vegetables, cauliflower is a carb. But it's the non-starchy, complex kind with lots of fiber and low amounts of natural sugar. One cup contains about a sixth of the carbs as the same amount of cooked pasta or rice, so it's a great option for people with diabetes or anyone counting carbs.
Fats in Cauliflower
Cauliflower has only a trace amount of fat and is cholesterol-free.
Protein in Cauliflower
Cauliflower has a minimal amount of protein. You should include other protein sources in your diet to meet your daily needs.
Micronutrients in Cauliflower
Cauliflower is a good source of folate, a B vitamin that's needed to make DNA and other genetic material, as well as for your cells to divide. It's also an excellent source of bone-boosting vitamin K and immune-enhancing vitamin C, an antioxidant that helps protect cells from inflammation that can lead to chronic illness.
Cauliflower delivers a healthy dose of fiber, which provides a slew of benefits, from helping you maintain a healthy weight to lowering your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and some types of cancer.
Cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower also contain a group of substances known as glucosinolates, sulfur-containing chemicals that are responsible for the pungent aroma and bitter flavor of cruciferous vegetables. These chemicals also break down to form compounds that research has shown may help protect against several forms of cancer.
How do I buy cauliflower?
Choose cauliflower that has firm, compact heads that are tightly closed. The florets should not have any yellowing, as this is an indication that the cauliflower is overly mature. Any attached leaves should be bright green and crisp. Reject any heads that show signs of softness, because that's the start of spoilage. For the best flavor, eat cauliflower as soon as possible—precut florets don't store well and are best when eaten within a day of purchase.
How do I store it to maximize freshness?
Cauliflower is extremely perishable and should be kept cold and tightly wrapped. Store it in the crisper section of the refrigerator in its original packaging. Don't wash cauliflower until you're ready to cook it. Brown speckling is a sign of oxidation, which happens as a result of prolonged exposure to light and air and occurs naturally the longer cauliflower is stored. You can cut away the occasional brown spot, but if this discoloration appears throughout the head (a sign of spoilage), it's best to toss the whole vegetable.
Recipes and Preparation Tips
Raw cauliflower can be broken up into small florets to add crunch to salads or to munch on as a snack with low-fat dressing or dip. Cauliflower can also be cooked whole, pulsed, or cut up into florets for steaming, sautéing, blanching, stir-frying, and roasting. It can easily substitute for starchier foods, such as potatoes and rice, and is more nutritious, adding vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber. If you make cauliflower "rice" as a substitution for the rice grain, you've easily added an extra vegetable to your meal for fewer calories and carbohydrates.

Allergies and Interactions
Allergic reactions to cauliflower aren't common, although there was one reported case of an anaphylactic reaction to cauliflower in 2005. If you think you're allergic to cauliflower avoid eating it and talk to your doctor to determine the source of the problem.
Those with thyroid problems should avoid eating large amounts of cauliflower and cabbage. They both interfere with the body's absorption of iodine, which is needed by the thyroid gland.

Earlier this month, Dr. Stuart Cunningham and Dr. Jon Weinel attended the Audio Mostly 2016 conference, which this year was held in Norrköping, Sweden between the 4th and 6th October. The theme of this year's conference was "Multi-sensory Interaction Design" and encouraged submission analysing the use of sound and emotion alongside other senses.. In a fitting response to this, Stuart and Jon presented their paper, entitled "The Sound of the Smell (and taste) of my Shoes too: Mapping the Senses using Emotion as a Medium", which discusses how emotion could be used as a medium for cross-modal representations; presents application scenarios for this theory in computer games, virtual environments, and assistive technologies; and outlines empirical work to be pursued in future research in the field.
Affective Audio researchers welcomed the release of the new book "Games User Research: A Case Study Approach", which features a chapter entitled "In-Game Intoxication: Demonstrating the Evaluation of the Audio Experience of Games with a Focus on Altered States of Consciousness" authored by Dr. Stuart Cunningham, Dr. Jonathan Weinel and Prof. Richard Picking. The chapter details a study undertaken using the repertory grid approach to develop scales for user evaluation of game sound. The book, edited by Dr. Miguel Angel Garcia-Ruiz of Algoma University, Canada is published by CRC Press / Taylor & Francis.
PhD student Darryl Griffiths recently represented the Affective Audio group at the EVA 2016 conference, which took place in London between the 11th and 13th July 2016. Darryl gave a demo of his recent research and development work, entitled "An Interactive Music Playlist Generator that Responds to User Emotion and Context", which was co-authored by Dr. Stuart Cunningham and Dr. Jon Weinel. The demo was well-received by conference delegates and featured an interesting, audio rich, exploration of the emotional classification of music of various genres.
Affective Audio research students Steffan Owens and Steve Nicholls, accompanied by supervisor Dr. Stuart Cunningham, attended and delivered presentations at the ICSRiM Student Conference on Music, Multimedia and Electronics (iscMME 2016), which was held at the University of Leeds. The one day student conference was focused upon music-related research projects that fuse together science and arts. The programme for the conference featured a range of talks, live coding workshops, and musical performances from students and researchers from around the UK.
Steffan's presentation was entitled "Designing a Programme of Study to Improve Timekeeping in Music" and included an update on current progress so far in his research degree studies along with results from early experiments. Similarly, Steve gave a presentation on "An Approach to Musical Collaboration using Artificial Intelligence", which provided background and context to his own work along with plans for new research activities.
As part of the 2016 New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival (NYCEMF), Dr. Stuart Cunningham had his work, entitled "Noise without Noise" performed at a concert held on the evening of 7th June 2016 at the National Sawdust arts centre in Brooklyn, NY, USA.
The New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival is an annual, multi-day festival featuring works submitted by emerging and established composers, performers, and sound artists from all over the world. This is the second year that Dr. Cunningham's work has been featured at the festival, following on from the performance of his piece "LSD No. 2", which was showcased at the 2015 festival.
Immersive video and virtual reality researcher, Steve Davies, recently presented a paper at the Stanley Kubrik: A Retrospective conference, held at De Montfort University, Leicester, UK. This was an event inviting interdisciplinary research articles on the work of late auteur Stanley Kubrik. Steve's presentation, entitled 'Towards HAL-ography' explored the influence and impact of the design of the HAL9000 computer in Kubrik's 2001: A Space Odyssey. The spherical design of HAL's lens was inspired by recorders from the Gemini spacecraft. Though non typical in cinematic optics, the fisheye lenses used for HAL's POV are rapidly being adopted in Virtual and Augmented Reality filmmaking. Steve's presentation explored the influence and impact of this design and the practicalities and benefits of the technology across the sci-fi cannon and beyond.
Dr. Stuart Cunningham and Prof. Rich Picking g undertook an Erasmsus+ exchange visit to Aalborg University in Denmark, where they were based in the newly developed "Musikkens Hus". During their time, Stuart and Rich delivered a range of teaching sessions that related to the use of technology in music production and evaluation scenarios, whilst participating in supervision meetings of doctoral students at Aalborg University. As part of the visit, the team delivered a public lecture entitled "Health and Wellbeing: Music, sound and technology research at Glyndwr University", which was well-received and led to some fruitful discussions. Stuart and Rich also found time to discuss opportunities for further research collaboration with colleagues at Aalborg, to build upon their flourishing partnership.
Appearing in the November 2015 edition of the Journal of the Audio Engineering Society (Vol. 63, No. 11) is an article authored by Dr. Iain McGregor (Edinburgh Napier University) and Dr. Stuart Cunningham. The work entitled 'Comparative Evaluation of Radio and Audio Logo Sound Designs' and is centered around the use of personal constructs, via the repertory grid method, to investigate the potential differences between the intentions of the sound designer and their listeners.
We are pleased to announce that our article entitled 'EEG as a Controller for Psychedelic Visual Music in an Immersive Dome Environment' appears in Vol 7 No. 14 of Sonic Ideas / Ideas Sonicas, which is published by the the Mexican Centre for Music and Sonic Arts (CMMAS).
The article was authored by Dr. Jonathan Weinel, Dr. Stuart Cunningham, Nathan Roberts, Shaun Roberts, and Darryl Griffiths and is based upon the work carried out as part of the Psych Dome project. The work deals with aspects of Altered States of Consciousness and the tools and techniques by which they might be represented in visual music, in an immersive environment. The longterm goal of research in this area is to devise machines that are capable of transferring the sounds and visuals of dreams and hallucinations from the human brain into digital technologies.
From 27th April to 1st May, the Affective Audio team were joined by visiting researcher Hans-Peter Gasselseder, from Aalborg University in Denmark. Hans-Peter delivered a range of talks and workshops with students here in Wrexham based around his research area of emotion and psychology in computer game environments. During his visit, Hans-Peter also met a range of staff and students at Glyndwr University to complement, and build upon, the existing collaboration between the two Universities.
During the week, Hans-Peter joined Dr. Jon Weinel, Dr. Stuart Cunningham, and PhD student Darryl Griffiths, in attending the NoiseFloor Festival at Staffordshire University, UK. As part of the Festival, Jon treated the audience to an exceptionally well-received performance of his recent composition Cenote Sagrado.

This was included as part of MMU Cheshire's 'Curating Knowledge' series of exhibitions and gallery talks.
Also in the last week, the Affective Audio team attended the iFIMPaC Festival in Leeds, UK between 12th and 13th March, where Jon premièred his works: Flood City, Cenote Zaci and Cenote Sagrad. Flood City was featured in an electroacoustic diffusion concert on the Thursday, and the two audio-visual pieces were performed at the late night concert held at Belgrave Music Hall on Friday 13th March, in support of the incredible Radioland: Kraftwerk's Radioactivity Revisited concert.
Dr. Stuart Cunningham Dr. Jonathan Weinel and PhD student Darryl Griffiths were invited to present to delegates at the Salford Sonic Fusion Festival, which took place between Thursday 19th and Sunday 22nd February at MediaCity UK. Dr. Cunningham gave the invited presentation, entitled "Putting the Cat back in Concatenative Synthesis" as part of the unique Zoomusicology and Bio-acoustics Symposium. The symposium featured researchers, arts practitioners, and veterinary experts from around the world and has sparked the possibility of future collaborative projects in this field.
Dr. Jonathan Weinel, Dr. Stuart Cunningham and Dr. Richard Picking have two chapters in a newly published book 'Recent Advances in Ambient Intelligence and Context-Aware Computing'. The chapters both discuss work related to the application of biofeedback, affective computing and immersive technologies within the exciting field of real-time computer audio and visualisations. The work is another example of the high-quality, peer-reviewed research outputs produced by the team, following on from the success of their recent MIT publication.
Jonathan Weinel, Stuart Cunningham, Darryl Griffiths, Shaun Roberts and Rich Picking have an article in the peer-reviewed academic journal: Leonardo Music Journal, published by MIT Press. The article 'Affective Audio' discusses recent highly innovative research carried out by the team that explores the intersection between cutting-edge computing technologies, music and audio technology. The article focuses particularly on the work of current PhD student Darryl Griffiths, which explores the use of sensor technologies to recognise human context, in order to improve the selections made by musical playlists.
Dr. Stuart Cunningham and Dr. Jonathan Weinel visited Aalborg University in Denmark, where strong links are held with the Music and Sound Knowledge Group. Over the course of the week Stuart and Jon ran several lectures and workshops with undergraduate and postgraduate students at Aalborg University on topics such as: Affective Audio; Context-Aware Technologies; the Repertory Grid Research Method; and Subjective and Objective Audio Evaluation, as well as jointly supervising PhD students with Professor Mark Grimshaw, the Obel Professor of Music at Aalborg University.
During the week, Dr. Cunningham and Dr. Weinel presented papers at the 9th Audio Mostly Conference, which took place at the recently opened Musikkens Hus in Aalborg. Their presentations: Sound Through The Rabbit Hole: Sound Design Based On Reports of Auditory Hallucination and ACERemix: A Tool for Glitch Music Remix Production and Performance; were extremely well received and the articles themselves are available via the ACM Digital Library. Both articles were produced in collaboration with Stuart and Jon's PhD student, Darryl Griffiths. To finish off their busy week, Jon and Stuart were invited to participate as members of the PhD Symposium Panel, providing the next generation of researchers with new ideas and perspectives on their future work.
Dr. Jonathan Weinel from the University Research Centre: Creative and Applied Research for the Digital Society (CARDS) visited the 40th International Computer Music Conference (ICMC) in Athens, Greece, to present CARDS research outputs. ICMC features research on innovative tools for the purpose of music creation as well, on the results of application of these tools in perception and performability. These consisted of a conference paper co-authored with Dr. Stuart Cunningham and PhD student Darryl Griffiths, entitled: 'Easter Eggs: Hidden Tracks and Messages in Musical Mediums', and the screening of a visual music film: 'Mezcal Animations' by Weinel. These were well received, and the paper was included in the published proceedings of the conference (available in print and online).
Dr. Jonathan Weinel, Post-Doctoral Research Associate, presented a paper at the British Computer Society (BCS) conference for Electronic Visualisations and the Arts - 'EVA London 2014'. His lively demonstration featured a real-time computer visualisation with sound controlled by a brain-wave device, which enabled colourful spiral pattern and sounds to be affected by the brain-wave patterns of willing participants.

Earlier this month Eric Sprott circulated a paper, co-authored by him, which concluded that Western central banks have considerably less physical gold than they claim. It shows that since the year 2000 there has been a net increase in identifiable annual demand of 2,268 tonnes, and concludes that some supply, apart from mine output from the "free" world, must come from Western central banks – because there can be no other source.
This supply amounts to price suppression in the name of demonetising gold. Therefore, while minimal investment interest is shown in precious metals in the West, central bank selling and net jewellery liquidation (currently running at about 1,000 tonnes annually) are effectively supplying Asia with gold at artificially low prices in what amounts to a transfer of wealth.
We do not know precisely the extent to which this has happened, because available statistics only tell part of the story. The World Gold Council (WGC) has demand data going back only to 1992, and some of this is defined as actually measured (e.g. import statistics, mint and hallmarking data); otherwise it is only "indicated" on a trade-sample basis. Importantly, no statistics can capture change of ownership for vaulted gold. But we can get a feel for gold ownership shifts by recounting events since the US dollar finally dropped all links with gold in 1971.
In 1971 bullion investment was still effectively banned in the US (except for foreign coins), and investment in the UK and a number of other countries was also more or less coins only. It is estimated that all existing coins today amount to about 3,500 tonnes.
The oil crisis of the 1970s led to substantial bullion-buying by the enriched Middle Eastern states. This continued through the 1980s and into the 1990s. Meanwhile conservative Swiss investment managers, who collectively were the largest holders of bullion, were replaced by a new generation of managers who by 2000 had disposed of nearly all of it, as had investment managers everywhere in the West. Even today very few investment managers have bullion in their clients' portfolios. This gold quietly disappeared into Arab and Asian hands, and into jewellery fabrication boosted by low prices. However, even in 1992 when the WGC statistics started, Asian demand ex-Japan dominated markets, absorbing 1,650 tonnes – over twice that of the developed markets.
At that time private gold ownership in developed markets was predominantly in jewellery form. This accumulation is reversing as a consequence of higher prices and financial stress in some nations. Bullion investment remains unfashionable, and remarkably few people have even seen a gold coin, let alone possessed one. But the last decade has seen the growth of securitised gold in the form of exchange-traded funds and other listed vehicles, amounting to about 2,800 tonnes. While the deteriorating outlook for paper currencies has sparked a partial move into gold, much of this is in unallocated accounts with bullion banks or in synthetic derivatives.
The message behind the shift of wealth from advanced nations to Asia is that we are left with no "Plan B" in the event of a monetary crisis. A global collapse of paper money, which is inevitable if current monetary policies are not reversed, will give Asians considerable wealth relative to the rest of us.
History will surely judge the central banker's promotion of ephemeral paper at the expense of gold in the harshest terms.
Therefore, while minimal investment interest is shown in precious metals in the West, central bank selling and net jewellery liquidation (currently running at about 1,000 tonnes annually) are effectively supplying Asia with gold at artificially low prices in what amounts to a transfer of wealth.
What a very odd statement to read on a website espousing Austrian economics. Gold does make an excellent currency and I needn't go into the details here. But currency is a medium of exchange. As such, it is not wealth.
Wealth is stored in produced goods which gold, no doubt can buy. But to claim that this supposed flow of gold from west to east is a "transfer of wealth" is to mimic the mercantilists. I'd have thought we were past that.
Is gold not also a produced good?
I'd recommend ATS Bullion in the Strand, London if you are thinking of buying any gold. A wide range of coins and bars are available.
If you don't own a collection of atoms of the element Au, atomic number 79, but choose a 'fund', you are back into fiat and the vagaries of management.
Re: Craig: Wealth is not 'stored' as such, it simply exists, and whether one has wealth depends on the conditions at the time of asking. If I buy a forest, I have no wealth from that unless I can make it economic.


I used to think poetry had more in common with creative non-fiction rather than fiction. Poems, I thought, were supposed to be about the author. Or, if not the author, then about something within the author's life – a friend, a spouse, the apple tree he fell out of when he was ten. The "truth" in a poem, I believed, was supposed to be an autobiographical truth.
I wasn't completely wrong. There are a lot of great autobiographical poets out there. Sharon Olds comes to mind. In fact, I'd be willing to bet every poet since Whitman has written his or her share of autobiographical poems. But poems don't have to always be about the author's life and experiences. Poems don't have to be "true" to be True.
I think the larger population already understands this. Fiction is the most popular form of literature today. People love a good novel. We understand that the characters are fictitious, that the events never happened, but at the end of the book we recognize the truth of the story. A story doesn't have to have literally happened, it doesn't have to be factually true, in order to be True. The same goes for poetry.

This is a terrific idea, to find artistic inspiration in other works of art. It's at least as old as the ancient Greeks. It's also quite contemporary: I just discovered Stephen Dunn's "Odysseus's Secret" and recently watched the film of "Girl With a Pearl Earring," stimulated by Vermeer.
The critical school called "Formalists" proposed that there is "no necessary relationship between the artist and the artwork." The artist's biography may be involved in a work, but is not necessarily involved. Still, it's difficult (impossible, the Post-Modernists would say) to completely separate the artist's experiences from the work. I bet you've watched a woman brushing her hair, even if you've never been dead.
Do you know "Spoon River Anthology"?
I love the last lines connecting her shadow with her lover, and the description of clamshell eyes. I thought the grave with the hair not really my style, but a different thought. Love the idea of poems with paintings, and I agree with the subject of the widow poems, that is also my feeling when looking at the painting.


The Wind Festival in Calvi was always a unique moment. Lying at an hour due to concerts or parties at the headquarters of the festival (hotel de la Balagne), raised at dawn to admire the balloons floating over the bay of Calvi. Everything related to the wind was here: boats, dinghies, kytes surfs, planes, gliders, paragliders, kites, windmills etc ... The list is not exhaustive. Many cultural events were held every day in the open air or under capitals: plays, street shows or even on the water, movies, documentaries etc. A libertarian and ecologist wind blew on the festival. Conferences and debates followed one another on the themes of sustainable development of ecology, North-South relations etc. The public of this festival was young and mainly continental except weekend when it was felt that all Corsica s was given rendezvous in Calvi, in Balagne. Many workshops and activities were dedicated to children.


LYON, France & NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Medicrea Group (Euronext Growth Paris: FR0004178572 – ALMED, PEA-PME eligible, and OTCQX: MNRTY and MNRTF), pioneering the transformation of spinal surgeries through Artificial Intelligence, predictive modeling and patient specific implants with its UNiD™ ASI (Adaptive Spine Intelligence) technology, has today published its unaudited results for the first half of 2018, as approved by the Board of Directors on September 12, 2018.
Sales for the first half of 2018 amounted to €16.9 million, marked by two quarters of record invoicing in 2018 resulting in growth of 15% in comparison with the first half of 2017 and 22% at constant exchange rates. The 50% increase in personalized UNiD ASI™ surgery in the United States, the recovery of sales in Brazil, the strengthening of market share in France and the opening of new subsidiaries (Belgium and Australia) are behind this performance.
Gross margin, down in comparison with the first half of 2017, was impacted by a number of one-off factors: the unfavorable currency effect of the dollar/euro conversion, a different mix of sales in comparison with the same period of 2017 and some exceptional inventory discrepancies. The decrease in sub-contracting expected during the second half of the year should have a favorable impact on the gross margin rate.
Operating expenses increased by €1.8 million as a result of Research & Development investments to complete the range of UNiD ASI™ products and services, and the integration of the marketing and administrative expenses of the newly-created subsidiaries.
The operating loss for the first half-year stood at €4.6 million and the loss before tax, after taking into account the cost of net financial debt, was €6.5 million.
Cash at June 30, 2018 amounted to €5.1 million, strengthened by the €3.1 million equity raise which took place beginning of July.
Net loss for the first half of 2018 reflects the significant and necessary investments made by the Group to gain recognition for its position as a leading and strategic player in the field of personalized spine surgery.
The spinal market has entered a period of consolidation with 12 merger-acquisition transactions over the last 12 months, including two major deals announced very recently with the purchase in the United States of K2M by Stryker, and of Surgimap, a surgical planning software developer, by Globus Medical.
This trend reflects the growing interest of leading market players in planning tools solutions for the treatment of spinal pathologies. Medicrea has established itself as the worldwide leader and has set the industry standard in the segment by being the only company to date to use cutting-edge analysis tools based on artificial intelligence and predictive modeling to offer customized implants to treat each patient's individual pathologies.
Medicrea's UNiD ASI™ technology is therefore becoming increasingly popular with surgeons who are incorporating it into their day-to-day practice: to date, more than 2,800 patients have been operated on using personalized implants, and the number of UNiD ASI™ procedures performed in the United States has grown by 60% in relation to 2017.
"The approach we have developed is specific and tailored to each patient. It will become a standard of care and replace the traditional approach of spinal surgery, which has used commoditized implants for many years," said Denys Sournac, Chairman and CEO of Medicrea.
In July 2018, 4 US-based international institutional investors participated in a capital increase worth €3.1 million through the issue of ordinary shares with warrants attached (€4.8 million in the event of all the warrants being exercised).
Since August 28, 2018, Company's securities are traded on the US OTCQX Best Market ("OTCQX"). In addition to trading on the Euronext-Growth market, this listing will give Medicrea the opportunity to increase its visibility within the US and grow its investor base.
Medicrea will be attending the 33rd annual meeting of the North American Spine Society ("NASS") which will be held between September 26 and 29, 2018 in Los Angeles, California. During this major conference, the Company will present the latest innovations from its proprietary UNiD ASI™ (Adaptive Spine Intelligence) patient-specific technology for personalized spine surgery to leading orthopedic surgeons.
Next publication: Sales for the 3rd quarter of 2018: October 11, 2018, after market.
Operating in a $10 billion marketplace, Medicrea is a Small and Medium sized Enterprise (SME) with 200 employees worldwide, which includes 50 who are based in the U.S. The Company has an ultra-modern manufacturing facility in Lyon, France housing the development and production of 3D-printed titanium patient-specific implants.


An Employment Offer Letter is an official letter for the job offered, containing all the terms and conditions of employment provided in writing to a selected candidate for a particular position in a business organization. The job offer letter gives the complete details of the designation of the employee in the company such as Manager, Executive, programmer etc., the location of the job, starting date, salary details of the monthly/annual salary and breakup of the salary and other benefits pertaining to the job offered. It also gives the details of the notice period required by the employee at the time of resigning the company. The candidate accepting the job offer need to sign a copy of the offer letter and submit it with documents required like qualification certificate, experience certificate, etc. to the employer.
This offer letter format can be utilized by the HR Manager of the Company or Manager of a Company for informing the candidate about his successful recruitment. The applicant at that point has a premise by which he knows for beyond any doubt that he has been hired and should be ready to take up employment and receive the corresponding benefits subject to the terms and conditions predetermined therein.

Focus on the Dust Bowl
The Dust Bowl was the name given to the Great Plains region devastated by drought in 1930s depression-ridden America. The 150,000-square-mile area, encompassing the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles and neighboring sections of Kansas, Colorado, and New Mexico, has little rainfall, light soil, and high winds, a potentially destructive combination. Ranchers and farmers in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, driven by the American agricultural ethos of expansion and a sense of autonomy from nature, aggressively exploited the land and set up the region for ecological disaster. Most early settlers used the land for livestock grazing until agricultural mechanization combined with high grain prices during World War I enticed farmers to plow up millions of acres of natural grass cover to plant wheat. When drought struck from 1934 to 1937, the soil lacked the stronger root system of grass as an anchor, so the winds easily picked up the loose topsoil and swirled it into dense dust clouds, called "black blizzards." Recurrent dust storms wreaked havoc, choking cattle and pasture lands and driving 60 percent of the population from the region. Most of these "exodusters" went to agricultural areas first and then to cities, especially in the Far West.
In response, the federal government mobilized several New Deal agencies, principally the Soil Conservation Service formed in 1935, to promote farm rehabilitation. Working on the local level, the government instructed farmers to plant trees and grass to anchor the soil, to plow and terrace in contour patterns to hold rainwater, and to allow portions of farmland to lie fallow each year so the soil could regenerate. The government also purchased 11.3 million acres of submarginal land to keep it out of production. By 1941 much of the land was rehabilitated, but the region repeated its mistakes during World War II as farmers again plowed up grassland to plant wheat when grain prices rose. Drought threatened another disaster in the 1950s, prompting Congress to subsidize farmers in restoring millions of acres of wheat back to grassland.
The Dust Bowl prompted a cultural response from artists like Dorothea Lange, Woody Guthrie, and John Steinbeck, who lamented the American economic ethos that had created the disaster. To them, the Dust Bowl signified the final destruction of the old Jeffersonian ideal of agrarian harmony with nature.

Catherine McKenna has been a major disappointment as Minister of Environment Canada. What gives?
Just ?askin' as McKenna seems more interested in statues and taking pot shots at provincial politicians rather??than her pathetically feeble attempts at protecting the environment meanwhile Canada's global warming?emissions just keep growing in leaps and bounds.
MacDonald, Scotland, Environment, McKenna. I am sure there is a connection somewhere.
Maybe NR thinks Ambrose, Baird, Prentice, and Aggulukkaq were all better ministers of the environment than McKenna?!?!
Is this another of those "magical mystery threads"?
Did she figure that out all by herself, or did one of her advisers explain that to her?
Her advisors are capable of explaining??I wont count on that. Or does she even listen to advisors? Can she listen?
Brilliant indeed! Catherine McKenna may be the best Minister of Environment Canada has ever had!
Maybe she has a new hearing aid?
1) objectively worse -- then no she is not the worst.
2) comparitive to expectations -- then she could be.
This is not a small question becuase she was voted in with her party with higher expectations than were the Conservatives. The Conservatives did not have an electoral mandate (within our FPTP system) to do anything for the environment. She, considering her party's promises, actually did.
There are many good arguments that she is the worst since she was not elected or given her job to be ineffective. All the conservatives were elected with that expectation and mandated by the PM accordingly.
So, while I am not part of the Liberals-worse-than-the-Conservatives fetish around here, a good case can be made that she is the worst.
Our government has the power to ban thermal coal exports through Canada. Tell Justin Trudeau and Environment and Climate Change Minister Catherine McKenna to end their climate hypocrisy and stop exporting the problem they aim to solve.
That petition doesn't actually say what we'd be sending to Ottawa if we sign it.
Usually the text that people are signing their names to is clear, often starting with something like "We, the undersigned..."
This just has fields for name, e-mail, phone number and postal code (along with the acknowledgement that if you enter an e-mail or phone number, they may contact you).
And nothing about whether they'll keep that e-mail address or phone number confidential.
Dogwood is one of those unaccountable groups that have inserted themselves into our political system. I thought they and changeorg helped the Liberals get elected. Whether that was deliberate or not I have no way of knowing.
The House of Commons took the deadly threat of climate change seriously for one long evening on Monday. At the request of the NDP, the Green Party and one Liberal MP, Parliament held an emergency debate on global warming, which went on from the supper hour until midnight.
"Ontario Premier Doug Ford said that he has heard from people across Ontario and from out west, and he wants the?prime minister's hands out of their pockets," Erskine-Smith told the House. "This is … wilful blindness toward the evidence."
Conservative MPs took umbrage at the suggestion they do not care about pollution and the environment.
"What we are looking for are positive, constructive, effective measures that have a direct impact.
That line about $12 per litre recurred in virtually all Conservative MPs' interventions. Not one of the Conservatives who spoke proposed even a single specific measure to combat climate change. The closest they got were vague allusions to funding for innovation.
Speaking for the NDP, Caron wore his own economist's hat.
"My economist colleagues are likely familiar with the term 'Pigovian' tax, which is a tax that seeks to change people's behaviour," he said. "The problem right now is that we have no incentive to change our behaviour. Without incentives, people will not change their lifestyle.… Many Canadians know that we should drive electric cars, or at least very fuel-efficient cars.… Even so, more and more SUVs are being sold.… There is a big difference between what people know they should be doing and what they actually do."
British Columbia MP Richard Cannings also spoke for the NDP, expressing anger and frustration at the sophistry he hears all too often from defeatist and cynical politicians who say any action to curtail emissions is futile, so why bother.
"The Conservative side says that we should not have a carbon tax because B.C. has had one for 10 years and it is still having fires. So what is the use?" Cannings said scornfully. "That is not how it works. It shows either a shocking misunderstanding of how climate change works or just a wanton disregard."
"If the whole world went carbon neutral today, we would be at that one-degree rise," he explained. We would still have those fires. We would still have floods. All that extreme weather would be with us. What we are trying to do is save us from a far more frightening future!"
Cannings pointed out that with a two-degree increase in global warming, we would see the hottest days of summer increase by 4°C, which would mean heat waves in British Columbia that could easily reach 44°C. For those who are still not entirely attuned to the metric system, Cannings translated that number to 112° Fahrenheit.
The NDP MP had a few tangible suggestions for the Liberal government.
"Instead of investing $4.5 billion in an old pipeline," he said, "we could copy the U.K. and spend $2 billion on building electric vehicle infrastructure across southern Canada. We could provide meaningful incentives for Canadians to switch to electric vehicles, just as Norway has done. We could invest billions in other clean technology projects across the country."
He also mentioned retrofits to buildings, which produce 40 per cent of our carbon emissions.
"If we are grownups in this place, then we should face the science clear-eyed. ?We have allowed greenhouse gas emissions to increase to such an extent that we have already changed the chemistry of the atmosphere.… We do not know when we will hit a tipping point of irreversible self-acceleration where the ultimate consequences are not about bracing for bad weather, but about bracing for millions of species going extinct. Even if humanity can hang on now, can we imagine hanging on to human civilization in a world with a four-degree, five-degree, six-degree or seven-degree rise in temperature? The answer is no."
May made it clear that there is no point now debating the government's current halting and inadequate climate plan. The UN report calls for far more robust and resolute action than Canada is currently taking.
"This is not a status-quo debate," she said. "The UN Panel report has said to us as a country that our target is approximately 50-per-cent too little. We need to do twice as much. I know that is hard, but to save the lives of our children, what would we not do?"
Then, in response to a question from a Liberal MP as to what specific actions she would propose, May did not, as government spokespeople so frequently do, retreat behind generalities. She unapologetically proposed a radical series of specific and sweeping measures.
"This is a heroic effort on a global scale,"?the Green leader said. "It means decarbonizing our electricity sector, not just getting off coal, but making sure we do not switch to polluting natural gas instead. We have to improve the east-west electricity grid, get rid of internal combustion engines, use electric vehicles, and ensure energy efficiency and retrofits for every building. At the same time, we have to ensure that there is green biodiesel for our tractors and our fishing boats."
May concluded by explaining that "all of those things have already been invented. That is the miracle. They are all possible. We just have to tell our fellow citizens that we are ready. It is a challenge, and we are all going to do it together."
Listening to Canada's Minister of Environment and Climate Change respond on the radio to the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report,?Global Warming of 1.5°C, didn't raise my hopes. Despite outlining good policies such as pricing carbon pollution and phasing out coal power, the government representative who should know the most about climate issues repeated numerous debunked and false talking points.
She floated the excuse for inaction I've been hearing for at least 30 years: "We aren't going to get off fossil fuels overnight." She skirted around a question about the climate impacts of burning the increasing amounts of bitumen government plans to ship to foreign markets. She touted Canada's biggest fossil fuel venture, a?$40-billion, foreign-owned liquefied natural gas project, as a "climate solution" because it could replace coal power. That's despite?research and advice from scientists?about how the project impedes meeting our climate targets, the substantial and?underreported release of the potent greenhouse gas methane from LNG?and fracking, and the fact that LNG is as likely to slow renewable energy development as to replace coal-fired power.
She also repeated the tired refrain of politicians from across the spectrum, that economic considerations are as important as environmental ones --?equating the relatively new, human-created, outdated economic system with the timeless natural systems on which our health, well-being and survival depend.
It could be worse. The?U.S. president's response to the IPCC report?was, "I want to look at who drew it. You know, which group drew it. I can give you reports that are fabulous and I can give you reports that aren't so good." Beyond its inarticulate nature, the comment displays a profound lack of understanding of climate change, the IPCC and the work of climate scientists worldwide whose research informs its reports.
The IPCC special report, prepared by 91 researchers from 40 countries and based on more than 6,000 scientific resources, is clear: "Limiting global warming to 1.5oC would require rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society." Temperatures have already risen close to 1oC.
Those who argue the economy is too important to stop developing and expanding fossil fuel infrastructure --?from oilsands to pipelines to deep sea drilling to fracking --?ignore the mounting costs of climate disruption and the economic benefits of shifting to cleaner energy. A?report by the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction?found climate-related disaster losses cost U.S.$2.2 trillion over the past two decades, up from $895 billion over the previous two decades. (It only accounts for official reports and insurance stats, so likely only represents a fraction of the true costs.) Meanwhile, worldwide employment and opportunities in the clean energy sector continue to grow.
The?IPCC report lays out numerous solutions, including "shifting to low- or zero-emission power generation, such as renewables; changing food systems, such as diet changes away from land-intensive animal products; electrifying transport and developing 'green infrastructure', such as building green roofs, or improving energy efficiency by smart urban planning, which will change the layout of many cities."
Will we and our elected leaders heed these dire warnings and start facilitating and implementing solutions at the pace required to forestall disaster? Or will we continue to abuse this small planet that gives us life until it's too late? It's time to decide --?and to hold all politicians to account.

Who Will Win at the 2020 Academy Awards?
by Chase Burns • Feb 6, 2020 at 9:37 am
Remember in 2000 when all the Academy Awards were stolen and found in a trash bin? Now that was fun. Rodin Eckenroth / Stringer
There's a lot going on this week. Iowa had a meltdown. Trump was acquitted. And the 92nd Academy Awards are this Sunday. The Oscars, too? Sure, why not.
Even though we're a few days out, many of the categories are already locked down. Only a few of the awards suggest they'll be anywhere near as close as this.
Let's start by reviewing the awards we can totally predict, which are the acting categories:
BEST LADIES
The Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress awards are pretty much handed out. This season, Renée Zellweger has won Best Actress awards at the BAFTA Awards, Golden Globe Awards, and Screen Actors Guild Awards for her portrayal of Judy Garland in Judy. The same is true of Laura Dern, who snagged the Best Supporting Actress awards at those ceremonies for her performance in Marriage Story. Dern has never won an Oscar, so this will be a huge night for Marianne Williamson's former roommate (Dern).
Here's who is nominated for those two categories:
CYNTHIA ERIVO Harriet
SCARLETT JOHANSSON Marriage Story
SAOIRSE RONAN Little Women
CHARLIZE THERON Bombshell
RENÉE ZELLWEGER Judy
KATHY BATES Richard Jewell
LAURA DERN Marriage Story
SCARLETT JOHANSSON Jojo Rabbit
FLORENCE PUGH Little Women
MARGOT ROBBIE Bombshell
BEST DUDES
These categories are equally on lock. Joaquin Phoenix is arguably the only "transformational" performance among the Best Actor nominees, and the Academy is a sucker for these types of performances. (See also: The reason Renée Zellweger will win for Judy.) The Best Supporting Actor category should be more of a toss-up, but Pitt, like Phoenix, has swept this awards season. They've both won a BAFTA, Golden Globe, and Screen Actors Guild award for their performances this year—just like Zellweger and Dern. It would be a wild upset if any of them lost. Personally, I have a soft spot for Antonio Banderas in Pain and Glory. I'm so happy he's nominated.
Here are those nominees:
ANTONIO BANDERAS Pain and Glory
LEONARDO DICAPRIO Once upon a Time...in Hollywood
ADAM DRIVER Marriage Story
JOAQUIN PHOENIX Joker
TOM HANKS A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
ANTHONY HOPKINS The Two Popes
AL PACINO The Irishman
JOE PESCI The Irishman
BRAD PITT Once upon a Time...in Hollywood
Continuing on... let's look at three big categories that have harder-to-predict winners.
I'm really paying attention to this race, which is probably the most interesting toss-up. Toy Story 4 remains the leader in Best Animated Film, but there are two underdogs that could reasonably steal the trophy.
First is Netflix's Klaus, a hand-drawn Christmas movie that features the voices of a slippery Jason Schwartzman and stoic J.K. Simmons. It's the film most likely to have an upset win in this category. It beat out Toy Story 4 to win the Annie Award for Best Animated Feature, which is seen as the highest award in the field of animation. The past five years, the Annie Award winner for Best Animated Feature has become the Academy Award winner for Best Animated Feature four out of five times. If Netflix beats Disney in this category, consider it shots fired against Disney.
Then there's Portland-based animation studio Laika's Missing Link, which I wrote about in this issue of The Stranger. Read my write-up for more thoughts on Missing Link, but I'd be thrilled if that film won. Shockingly, it took home the Golden Globe despite being a box-office catastrophe.
But my secret pick is Netflix's other horse in this race, I Lost My Body, which is a stunningly weird animated (and very adult) film about a severed hand trying to locate its body.
The next two categories are down to a battle between two movies: 1917, director Sam Mendes's technically marvelous film about World War I soldiers fighting through trench warfare; and Parasite, director Bong Joon-ho's Palme D'or-winning (by unanimous vote) Parasite, an extraordinary film about a lower-class family tricking their way up the class system. This could go either way, but I'm thinking Bong Joon-ho will sneak out the win here, especially considering that the Academy is comfortable giving this award to foreign language directors. Mexican directors—Alfonso Cuarón, Alejandro G. Iñárritu, and Guillermo del Toro—took home this trophy for most of the last decade.
All the nominees:
THE IRISHMAN Martin Scorsese
JOKER Todd Phillips
1917 Sam Mendes
ONCE UPON A TIME...IN HOLLYWOOD Quentin Tarantino
PARASITE Bong Joon Ho
BEST FEATURE

And now on to Best Feature. Based on the previous big awards of this season, it looks like 1917 might inch through and take home the biggest award of the night. It swept the BAFTAs and won heavily at critics' awards and associations, winning a total of 51 awards so far. Parasite is the #2 here, but the odds are that 1917 will pull through. If that's the case, this will be a snooze fest. Here's hoping there are some surprises.
Here's what's nominated:
ONCE UPON A TIME...IN HOLLYWOOD
Which film will win Best Picture?
Who will win Best Director?
THE IRISHMAN - Martin Scorsese
JOKER - Todd Phillips
1917 - Sam Mendes
ONCE UPON A TIME...IN HOLLYWOOD - Quentin Tarantino
PARASITE - Bong Joon Ho

The following is a sponsored education post.
Flash is an essential tool, but bare flash is going to send light everywhere, destroying the ambient light needed to create dramatic imagery. What we need is light control and an effective light modifier for speedlights.
which speedlight modifier should you use?
If you are looking to create dramatic images the best light modifier for your speedlight is either a grid or a snoot. These speedlight modifiers pin the light on your subject similar to how a spotlight on a stage would work. Magmod flash modifiers do a great job at focusing the light with minimal light spill and can easily be attached to speedlights without the hassle of velcro or tape.
For this photo we used the MagSnoot since we want optimal light control and this tool allows us to do that with four differing levels of precision. You can also use 1-2 MagGrids to prevent light spill and pinpoint our light.
Before you even touch your flash, dial in your camera settings to expose for the ambient light in the room. Although the subjects in the photo are silhouetted, our background is exposed to reveal detail in the shadows and rich color in the highlights of the bar.
Light control is all about the prevention of light spill. In order to pinlight just our groom we reached for the Magsnoot to avoid hitting portions of the bar and other groomsmen. You can see a full tutorial on how we conceptualized this photo in our Photographing The Groom workshop available in SLR Lounge Premium!
Remember that the MagSnoot varies in light spread depending on the level of extension you choose. The power of our light will appear more concentrated depending on the precision of the snoot so dial in a flash power setting that is appropriate for your subject without blowing the highlights.
need inspiration? check out these facebook groups!
Stuck on how to use your MagMod flash modifiers to create artistic imagery? Join the SLR Lounge and Magmod Facebook communities to see what your inspiring peers & educators are creating!

Adam's suggests that you use a "clean water" bucket and a "soapy" bucket for best results when washing your car, then to use the detail spray as you finish washing your car to prevent water spots while drying. Then of course using the detail spray as you clay bar your car as the lube (yes, notallthere, I said lube ) Figured I'd give it a go and see what the results were. If I don't like it, hey can always use a bucket, amirite?
As you can see above, this review will involve the Camaro as it needed a good wash and clay barring. Have to say that using the 2 bucket approach is interesting and they came with the "grit bar" at the bottom of the bucket to ensure that all the grit and crap that you pick up while washing your car on your wash rag gets taken off and that worked nicely. Think during the whole "washing" processing the only thing that I found a bit annoying was that the wash rag liked to cling to things as it was a bit "stringy" material and around emblems and other sharp items it kind of grabbed it a bit. Then while drying I had to pull the "string" bits out of the emblems. Just a note to be careful, otherwise the wash rag was great and performed as well as possible. Other than that, washing went as per normal. I did try the detail spray at the end to keep the water spots down and that worked like a charm, as you can hear I say in the video below.
After this I ended up clay barring. Didn't get any pictures or videos of this process as clouds were moving in so I wanted to get done as fast as possible. With that said, the clay was very interesting. For the money you spend, you get a good block of clay. I split it in half to use as you don't need nearly that amount for one barring. The clay is very durable but molds easily and following the directions provided by Adam's how to get a nice even surface, by starting out on your windows, worked very well. Overall the clay did wonders and I was very happy and impressed with the overall bar and detail spray.
Overall I am very happy with this purchase and the results they provided. Following Adam's directions lead to some fantastic results in the products. My only gripe with the products, as I mentioned in the first video, the detail spray smells a bit like bubble gum and after a while it was getting to me . Other than that, great products and they get the Ringo seal of approval.
I just bought the pumpkins spice detail spray for Ms Notallthere for Christmas. We will check it out and yes I bought my wife car stuff for Christmas.
Thanks! How did you like it?
Thanks for sharing. I have a lot of Griot's inventory and happy with their products, but next time I need to reorder I'll give Adams a try as they are a sponsor.
Saw them prominently portrayed in several of Streetspeed717's videos of recent.
As we kick-off our new vendors program, I wanted to bring attention to the new vendors page. This will organize all our Partners/Vendors into one easy list that includes what they do, any offer, and anything else important about the vendor. This page is ONLY available to Forever Pontiac members to ensure that you are the only ones with the discounts and benefits!
Please let us know if you have any issues, questions or any comments on how to improve this offering.
Overall the console itself is a great improvement over the Xbox 360 in hardware and software. Without going too technical on you guys , the speed of the One is incredible, you can go from one game/app to another in a second without losing any of your progress in each. Then you can snap specific apps to the side and do multiple things at once, especially handy to do for Pandora, ESPN scores, Fantasy teams, or browsing Forever Pontiac while playing a game, pretty cool stuff. Kinect 2.0 is amazing too, voice commands are crisp and clean, a clear improvement over its predecessor (it no longer does a command when I'm not talking to it ).
The operating systems, yes plural, for the One are very smooth in operation but some of the user interface design and functionality is a little odd. This is the only of the One I really am having an issue with. A lot of the items that you are accustom to on an Xbox console are no longer there, like when a friend comes online, nope no alert. This might be because you can have "Over 1,000 friends" now and followers but think you should be able to set "favorite friends" to be alerted of. Then in order to talk in a party with your friends you have to select to do so. There are some other features that are a bit clunky and as a software engineer myself I would say "odd" but I think overall Microsoft did a nice job with the software components and being inventive with a new UI, also a lot of these "odd" areas can be patched (which MS has said they will improve a lot of them).
Game-wise, I only have 3: Forza 5, COD: Ghosts, and Madden 25.
Forza 5 is down right amazing, the graphics are a great enhancement and true proof of what a next-gen console is capable of. The new UI for Forza can sometimes be a little confusing, especially at first as it puts you right into the game on first play but once you're used to it you'll do fine. Just like Forza IV it has some integration with Top Gear, this time James and Richard joined in as well, it definitely brings the game full-circle for our group of car geeks. This game has made the console for me and I don't want to give away the fun but countless hours of fun have been had. Last point made, I think a great new addition to the game has been the drivatars (compete in the series against your friends, my FB friends probably have seen the Erik's (Crimson and Woody) and I going at it recently) and the built-in innate ability of the Xbox One to record items renders hilarious results (see below for my video).
COD: Ghosts and Madden 25 are both decent reproductions of their current franchise for the Xbox One, graphics upgraded, memory/speed allocated, etc... etc... I really don't have much to say other than they take great use of the Xbox One's new architecture and hardware.
Apps on the Xbox One are great and improving over the 360, getting more and more everyday. Netflix has been redone and the UI is a great improvement over the last though I find it very hard to go to a different episode/season of TV show while watching. Anywho, without boring you guys too much, the point is the One is really an all-in-one entertainment device.
In conclusion, the Xbox One is amazing, worth the money, and builds on what the 360 had started.


The South Face route ascends a huge corner system up the fantastic North Dome. This challenging route is fairly sustained and very continuous with plenty of friction moves, thin liebacks and physical climbing. With amazing views of Half Dome and the Yosemite Valley spread out below you, this is a great route if you want to stay away from the crowds.
North Dome sits up high above the Royal Arches and Washington Column, and just down valley from Tuolumne Meadows. The South Face is a fun and varied route on solid clean rock featuring slab, corner and chimney sections. Expect a long day of stout laybacking and jamming, and some runout slabs on smooth rock. The exposure is amazing, and with a long approach, a long descent and no fixed gear on the entire route, it is a committing and strenuous climb that is best suited for solid 5.8 and 5.9 climbers.
Reaching the base of the route involves a fairly long approach any way you look at it. Three main approaches are possible to get to the base of North Dome. If the road to Tuolumne (Hwy 120) is open, use the Porcupine Creek trailhead. This is the easiest way to approach North Dome, and it will allow you to simply hike back the mostly flat trail to return to your car after climbing the route. If you climb fast and want to start from the Yosemite Valley, combine this route with the Royal Arches. This will allow you to link 20+ pitches of trad climbing in a day, which makes for an absolutely fantastic adventure. However, from the top of the route, you'll have to descend back to the top of Washington Column, and then head down the North Dome Gully, which is long and very treacherous if you're not familiar with it. The third option is to hike up the North Dome Gully to the base of North Dome, allowing you to scope the descent on the way up. However this third option involves a lot more hiking than actual climbing! Another option to consider is to arrange for a pick-up at Porcupine trailhead if starting from the Valley Valley.
Make sure to bring lots of water and be prepared for a long, strenuous day. It is a good idea to wear pants for the Porcupine Creek approach, as it involves a fair bit of meandering and bushwacking around manzanita bushes.
Our GearLoopTopo for the South Face of North Dome includes all the information you need for the climb, with directions starting from the Tuolumne campground.
The best combination is to start from the Yosemite Valley and climb Royal Arches in order to access the base of North Dome. By combining these two routes, you will rack up 20+ pitches of amazing climbing in the same day, which is really hard to beat.
For other great routes with a mix of slab and cracks at a similar grade, check out Aqua Knobby (5.9), Great Pumpkin (5.8R), Crying Time Again (5.10a), Blown Away (5.9), and On the Lamb (5.9).

      Width="{qc:Binding '$P * .727', P={Binding ActualHeight, ElementName=PaperCanvas}}" />

Here's an example of what I'm trying to do in the actual code:
Binding binding = new Binding();
//Below is pseudo code for what i'm trying to do
binding.Path = new PropertyPath(Canvas.ActualWidthProperty * 0.7);
binding.Source = TrueCanvas;
binding.UpdateSourceTrigger = UpdateSourceTrigger.PropertyChanged;
BindingOperations.SetBinding(((Rectangle)CurrentControl), Rectangle.WidthProperty, binding);

I've looked into using a Grid so I can set the Width and Height as a percentage using GridUnitType.Star, but with where I'm at as it is, it would more than likely cause more harm than good, so I'm trying to just bite the bullet and see if I can get it done this way.

A: That "qc" syntax does not look like a converter, but rather a markup extension.  If you want to use an IValueConverter (which does seem best), then you simply add it to the binding.
binding.Path = new PropertyPath(Canvas.ActualWidthProperty);
binding.Converter = new WidthConverter();

The converter code should look something like this:
public class WidthConverter : IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
    {
        var x = (double)value;
        return x * 0.7;
    }

    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
}

(If for some reason you did actually need to use that custom "qc" Binding as in your XAML excerpt, then you would probably just need to set that "formula" property, whatever its name is, in the code.)

DEMOREST, Ga. – Evan Gresham went 3-4 with a homer and two runs batted in (RBI) to help Piedmont College past Guilford College, 10-7, in a nonconference baseball game Sunday.
Gresham led off the bottom of the fourth inning with a home run. The Lions (2-0) tacked on three unearned runs later in the frame to open a 6-1 lead and chase Guilford starter Lou Trosch (0-1). Breck Davidson and Gresham hit consecutive run-scoring singles in the sixth as the Lions led, 10-2, after six innings.
Guilford (0-2) answered with three runs in the top of the seventh. Herc Ingels smacked a two-run double in the inning and later scored on a fielding error, which made it a 10-5 contest.
The Quakers loaded the bases in the top of the ninth inning and plated runs on Corey Wallace's sacrifice fly followed by Charles Noble's two-out, RBI single. The Lions brought in closer Jacob Brewster, who fanned Michael Whited and collected his second save in as many days.
Keith Grabowski doubled twice and had two RBI for Piedmont. Teammate Griffin Olson also had two hits and plated two. Starting pitcher Preston Graham (1-0) yielded two runs in five and two-thirds of an inning for the victory.
Ingels and John Macon Smith (Greensboro, N.C./Western Guilford (Western Carolina)) both had three hits for Guilford. Ingels and Wallace both had two RBI.

Texas Roadhouse opens, Dibella's underway on South Meadow Street in Ithaca
by Brian Crandall May 23, 2016 February 2, 2023
ITHACA, N.Y. — For those hankering for steak, another option has joined the fray – Texas Roadhouse officially opens today at 4 p.m.
The 450-restuarant steakhouse chain began planning for an Ithaca location last March. The 7,194 square-foot Ithaca location at 725 South Meadow Street is owned directly by the company, leasing the land from DDR Corporation, the owners of the shopping plaza. The new restaurant cost about $1.3 million to build, and stands on the site of a one-story Cellular One store that had been demolished back in 2013.
Thank You Economy & Development Section Sponsors
New staff have been in-training, and an invite-only service was conducted over the weekend. The restaurant has hired on 160 staff, about half of which will be full-time. The restaurant is open for dinner during the week, and lunch and dinner on the weekends. A typical Texas Roadhouse location serves about 5,000 patrons per week.
Here's a description of the restaurant chain from the corporate website:
"Texas Roadhouse opened its doors in 1993. Since then, the company has grown to more than 430 locations in 49 states and five international locations in the Middle East. Texas Roadhouse is famous for its hand-cut steaks, fall-off-the-bone ribs, made-from-scratch sides, and fresh-baked bread."
Meanwhile, just south of Texas Roadhouse at 727 South Meadow Street, work has begun on a second chain restaurant entering Ithaca's scene. DiBella's Old Fashioned Submarines, a sandwich restaurant chain, has started site prep and initial foundation work for its first Ithaca location. The company, based out of Rochester, has 43 locations scattered throughout the Northeast and Midwest. Per Wikipedia:
"DiBella's was founded in 1918. It first began as a family owned and operated delicatessen in the city of Rochester. The restaurants are based on a 1930s/1940s theme. They have been voted "Best Sub in Rochester" for 8 years in a row by the readers of the Democrat & Chronicle and City Newspaper, two local papers. They claim that what makes DiBella's unique is that all ingredients are made fresh daily, and their bread making is based on old world techniques."
Dibella's is building a 3,400 square-foot restaurant on what was previously part of the Ithaca Shopping Plaza parking lot. Plans were first announced in November 2014. The owner of the Ithaca shopping plaza, Marx Realty, is the developer of the DiBella's project, and A&E Construction of suburban Philadelphia is the general contractor. Local architect Jason K. Demarest designed the building.
An inquiry was placed with DiBella's corporate asking when the Ithaca location would open, but a response was not returned. The site plan review documents in 2014 suggested a 6-month construction period, so late fall 2016 seems likely.

Estate planning serves two main purposes. The first is to ensure that your wishes and finances are properly handled if you become incapacitated due to illness or injury. The second is to ensure that your assets are properly handled after your death. Creating an estate plan that effectively manages the end of your life can lift the burden on you and your loved ones.
A power of attorney authorizes an individual other than yourself to act as your agent, making decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated. A power of attorney generally gives the agent access to your financial accounts and the right to make medical decisions for you.
Two types are available. A limited power of attorney is effective for a set time period, while a durable power of attorney gives an agent authorization to continue making decisions about your finances and healthcare as long as you are incapacitated.
Health care directives, commonly called living wills, are legally-binding instructional documents that officially declare your healthcare decisions in the case that you are incapacitated and unable to communicate them yourself. These documents take the healthcare decisions out of the hands of your family members when it comes to life support and other life-saving treatments.
Wills deal with the division of your assets after your death. With a will, you specify to whom your assets should be distributed and name an executor to handle this division of assets. If you do not have a will, your estate is usually handled by the state and the division of your assets will be at the state's discretion.
A trust is similar to a will in that it deals with distribution of assets. With a trust, you specify beneficiaries and a trustee who handles the allocation of the trust. The main difference between a will and trust is that a trust does not have to go through probate, which eliminates probate costs.
Planning for your death isn't an easy task. You want to make sure that everything is in order, so that your loved ones will be taken care of one you are gone.
Michael R. Weinstein is an experienced attorney, who can help you determine which estate planning tools are right for you, and help you prepare a sufficient estate plan that will ensure that your loved ones aren't left to make hard decisions on your behalf. If you're ready to start planning your estate, call Michael at (714) 619-9376 or email him at [email protected].


Northern Open winner Ish Monroe.
Ish Monroe had a ball on Oneida Lake for the third straight day as he went wire-to-wire for the win of the final 2011 Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Northern Open. He rode a hot frog bite all three days and backed it up with a prototype flipping bait to sack 51-2, more than 2 pounds ahead of runner-up Michael Simonton.
?I tell you what, this feels awesome. I?ve won on all the (B.A.S.S.) levels: an Elite Series event, Federation-level event and now that I?ve won an Open it feels really good,? he said as he clutched his trophy.
For his win, Monroe earned a brand new bass boat and motor as well as a handsome paycheck of more than $9,000. The total package is worth north of $54,000. He?s not concerned about not picking up the 2012 Bassmaster Classic berth because he qualified through the Bassmaster Elite Series. He would have double qualified if he had fished all three events, the prerequisite for earning the Opens berth. He was fishing Oneida for pride and most importantly, fun.
?The thing that carried me through this week ? and the whole season ? has been the fact that I?ve had fun,? he said. ?That?s been my focus throughout the Elites and into these Opens, and it?s worked out really well. I?m having a blast!?
Monroe relied on two baits and several areas. He threw a Snag Proof Ish?s Phat Frog (three different models: white, black and clear) across the top of matted grass along the bank, and when the wind blew, he punched through the grass with a heavy weight and a black and blue flipping bait. The key with the flipping bait was the River2Sea specialty flipping weight. It sports a matte black finish. Monroe reasons that lighter-colored weights give off too much flash under the dark mats and spook fish.
Michael Simonton made a hard charge at Monroe, but Monroe?s 4-pound cushion proved too much for Simonton?s 16-9 stringer and 48-12 total. Simonton, a Fremont, Ohio, native earned $13,800 for his runner-up finish. Simonton enjoyed the relatively little pressured presented to him by the smaller field.
In third place, earning $11,500 is John Pelletier of Nassau, N.Y. He tallied 45-7 over three days. In fourth is Elite Series pro Pat Golden of High Point, N.C., who earned $9,200 for his three-day catch of 45-7. Rounding out the top five is Elite Series pro Randy Howell of Springville, Ala., who won $8,280 for his total of 44-5.
Northern Open co-angler winner Kevin Haley.
On the co-angler side, Kevin Haley of Syracuse, N.Y., took home a brand new Skeeter bass boat with Yamaha outboard for his three-day catch of 26-8. Haley relied on a pair of baits: a Bass Pro Shops XPS walking topwater bait and a 3-inch Strike King Shadalicious swimbait. Five of his nine keepers fell for the topwater, the other four ate the swimbait. He gives much credit to his pros, all three of whom put Haley on solid fish each day.
In second place is Kevin Phelps of Allentown, Pa., with 25-12; in third place is Anthony Savino of Marlboro, N.Y., with 24-13; in fourth place is Michael Rinaldi of North Haledon, N.J., with 24-11; and in fifth place is Aaron Anders of Boston, Ontario, Canada.
The Syracuse Convention & Visitors Bureau and Onondaga County Parks hosted the event.

Q: A bias for runs in Legendre symbols? $\newcommand\Legendre[2]{\genfrac(){}{}{#1}{#2}}$An odd prime $p$ defines the sequence $\Legendre1 p,\Legendre2 p,\dotsc,\Legendre{p-1}p$
of values of the Legendre symbol describing the quadratic nature
of integers modulo $p$. We denote by $R(p)$ the longest run (largest subset of consecutive squares or of consecutive non-squares modulo $p$) of this sequence. Naïvely assuming the sequence to be similar
to a sequence of $p-1$ tosses of a fair coin, we should expect
$R(p)$ to be of size $\log(p-1)/\log(2)$.
Since $\log(p)$ is the mean distance between $p$ and the following (or previous) prime, we should have
$$\frac{\log(2)}{n}\sum_{p\leq n}R(p)\longrightarrow 1$$
(where the sum is over all odd primes $\leq n$)
for $n\rightarrow \infty$.
This seems to be more or less the case numerically albeit
the quantity $\frac{\log(2)}{n}\sum_{p\leq n}R(p)$ is
strictly smaller than $1$ for the first few thousand initial values of $n$. This indicates a very slight bias for these sequences of Legendre symbols.
Is this an artefact?
(Added: A possible explanation is
the symmetry/antisymmetry of the Legendre symbol showing that we are sort of working with a random sequence of length $(p-1)/2$. This 'explanation' leads however to the opposite problem: The sum is too large, I believe.)
A few complements: The set of primes with a given value of the longest run should be finite. Computations for primes up to $50000$
suggest the cardinalities
$$1,2,2,8,6,27,30,70,125,254$$
for the sets of odd primes giving rise to longest runs of length $1,2,\dotsc,10$.
First occurrences of 'records' have sometimes curious holes: The first few smallest primes with maximal runs of length $29$ are smaller than
the smallest primes with maximal runs of length $25$, $26$, $27$ or $28$.


Cheick Diallo had 28 points, 13 rebounds, one steal and one block in a 110-106 loss to Miami.
Diallo proclaimed before Summer League started that he wanted to win MVP along with the championship and while those goals have now fallen short, his play was very impressive. This was his third Summer League and the Pelicans said earlier in the offseason they have plans to use him as a key role player next year. Diallo has exploded for a few good games across his career, but this may be the season he gets consistent playing time and production.

There is much more to golf betting than merely picking a winner. Professional punters enjoy 72-hole championship match betting lines in which the betting pits two closely matched golfers against each other. Recreational punters prefer faster markets, hence the growth in popularity of 2-ball and 3-ball bets. An example of a 2-ball bet is backing a player to shoot a lower score than a playing partner.
