Saturday evening late, I was out back with Josephine when all of a sudden I heard a loud thunk from the chicken coop. The next thing I saw was Foghorn, rolling down the ramp like she'd been shot out of a cannon and then landing with a flop at the bottom of the ramp. Then she just laid there all limp. I ran over to the coop while yelling "Foghorn! Foghorn! Are you OK?" because I think my chickens can talk. When I got to the coop, Foghorn popped her head up so I knew she was still alive. I opened the nesting box door to check on the others, but all the commotion had them making their way outside to see what was going on. The whole time, I'm talking to the chickens and asking them if they're all OK. Meanwhile, Josephine is barking her head off at something in the back corner of the yard.
The chickens never did answer me, but they all looked OK. Even Foghorn was now up and walking around. I grabbed the three eggs that where in the nesting box and closed the lid being sure to secure the latch. I got inside and told Michael everything. Josephine was still barking in the backyard. Michael grabbed the flashlight and went to investigate. He ended up moving the chicken coop so now it faces the opposite way and there are zero gaps under the frame. He found evidence that something had been digging, trying to get under the coop. It could very well be Josephine, but I want to think it is not her. We never saw what it was that had Josephine so riled up. It could have been a possum or a raccoon. We've seen those around. I've seen a few stray cats too. Yesterday I noticed that Albus is sporting a scratch across the top of his nose, but I don't suspect him of trying to dig under the coop.
I am sure that Josephine desperately wants to play with the chickens. She is usually hanging out in the shade of their nesting box or sitting on top of their run. I don't think she's the one trying to get to them though because her stance and demeanor when she's around the coop are more protective than predatory. I think Josephine really is trying to protect those birds. But something is trying to get them. I told Katrina this story and she said we might have to put an electric fence around the coop and then remember to turn it off when we went out to feed and collect eggs. I replied "or not and let the Cabbage feed them." (I would never) Katrina laughed and said that sounded like something J would do. It is totally something J would have done. I can see him now, holding a beer and standing next to Spencer. He would nudge Spencer with his elbow and say "hey, watch this." Then he'd tell Jr to go check for eggs and he and Spencer would laugh and laugh.


"Ask questions, learn about the newest products and technologies, find out what an extract is and how it works. A lot has changed, even just in the way we consume cannabis," said Director Naomi Forkash.
The event features two stages this year with experts on everything from legal issues to medical issues to ways you can grow and process, Forkash said.


There's a movement to shift from a traditional reactive culture to more education about proper food safety practices in restaurant and retail establishments.
Across the board, increased employee awareness and training has become a big issue in food safety. The foodborne illness outbreaks that hit Chipotle Mexican Grill has put retail and restaurant establishments on high alert, yet this is just another example of the reactive culture in which we operate, according to Matt Schiering, vice president and general manager at Sani Professional.
"Think about your own restaurant experiences. Guests don't want to see or be confronted with a greyish brown rag [that is used to] wipe a table, then wipe a seat, then wipe an adjacent table. It just screams unclean," says Matt Schiering of Sani Professional.
Food Safety Tech recently hit the road with Schiering and John Caton, regional sales manager at Sani Professional, to experience first hand how one company is communicating its message to customers. Breaking with tradition has been an important part of promoting cleaner technology: The use of the rag and bucket as a means to clean both the front of the house (tables, chairs, counters, etc.) as well as the back of restaurants and retail establishments, while still fairly common, has outlived its effectiveness, and frankly, says Schiering, "screams unclean". Caton and Schiering continued the conversation with their customers about how using disposable wipes for cleaning, sanitizing and disinfection helps prevent the spread of contamination, along with the cost savings associated with using such products. The company takes a multi-prong approach to promoting awareness among its current and potential clients, from deploying a sales force that directly interacts with quality assurance and food safety professionals in establishments to offering how advances in sustainable technology can help them stay ahead of the curve to driving consumer advocacy.
Food Safety Tech: How is Sani Professional raising the level awareness of the disadvantages of the traditional cleaning method (the rag and bucket method) in the retail environment?
Matt Schiering: There are a few ways to raise the level of awareness. The first and foremost is "feet on the street". We've deliberately moved toward a direct-to-customer sales force, which gives us the opportunity to interface directly with QA, food safety and operations to show them a simpler, more efficient, more effective, and guest appealing way versus the traditional rag and bucket. The first win is one for the user (the employees of a given establishment), because associates have shown us time and time again that they do not like the mixing and measuring, and the errors that are often associated with that process. They don't like the dirty rag itself—having to fish it out of the bowl and then present it or be seen with it in the front of the establishment. It's a win for the operator (the manager), because with our system, there's no longer any heightened heart rate when the health inspector shows up. One of the most common violations is the water in the buckets being out of spec or the rags themselves not being inside the bucket per regulation. And perhaps most importantly, it's a win for the guest. Think about your own restaurant experiences. Guests don't want to see or be confronted with a greyish brown rag [that is used to] wipe a table, then wipe a seat, then wipe an adjacent table. It just screams unclean.
FST: Regarding employee training, how should retailers be more proactive in ensuring their employees are engaging in proper food safety practices and aren't spreading foodborne illnesses?
Schiering: It varies by chain. Unfortunately, we live in a reactive culture—and that goes well beyond the restaurant industry.
Oftentimes a problem precedes a protocol or other means of addressing said problem. Chipotle is one example: They've taken an exhaustive look at restructuring their food safety protocols as a result of a myriad of foodborne illness-related issues that they suffered in the preceding months. The [retailers] who are doing it best are the ones who build it into their establishment in the first place where it's not predicated by some sort of problem. That involves training materials, in-service lessons, and online training (i.e., ServSafe certifications). Waffle House, for example, has Waffle House University where food safety is a key component to that system.
We envision ourselves as part of that process. We take a microcosm—the notion of proper food handling, prevention of cross contamination related foodborne illness—and provide an innovative and easy-to-use solution, and all the training and collateral materials associated with the solution that explain the proper use. We also provide test kits so that if the health inspector wants an in-the-moment proof that our product is doing what the label says it does, [the retailer] can provide that at a moments notice. It becomes more of a service proposition than simply a product-driven solution.
Using disposable wipes for cleaning, sanitizing and disinfection can help prevent the spread of cross contamination and foodborne illness.
FST: Where do you see sustainable products fitting into the space?
Schiering: This also boils down to education, because the perception of disposables is that they're wasteful, when in fact they needn't be any more costly than existing solutions.
If you're using a linen service, there's a cost associated with renting towels, but there's a higher cost associated with wasting towels. So if a towel ends up in a gym bag or in the trash because of overuse and/or abuse, there's a significant upcharge for not returning that towel to the rental agency. That's what we call the hidden cost or the dirty little secret of rag and bucket sanitizing. When you factor that in, and everyone [retailers] experiences that type of loss, and you look at the fact that sanitizing wipes kill pathogens trapped in the wipe as well as whatever it is coming into contact with at the surface, thereby enabling it to be used on multiple surfaces without causing cross contamination—the cost aligns very closely. And of course it's a more value-added guest experience than a dirty rag being used from table to table, which is not preventing cross contamination.
Speaking to the environmental piece: At the moment, we're actually fairly well ahead of the industry. It varies chain to chain—some chains are doing a better job than others, because it's part of their corporate culture. But by providing solutions that are leveraging either recyclable substrates or compostable substrates, we provide greater opportunity to reduce the environmental impact often associated with disposable products. If a retailer is working with a waste management partner that can handle industrial compostable products or non-solid state recyclables, we have solutions that are appropriate for those operations, so that we're not just adding to landfills but rather essentially recycling and/or regenerating the products that are being used, and at no greater cost.
Most retailers haven't gotten there yet. It speaks directly to corporate culture and corporate mission of the end user. We deliberately target customers who are a little bit ahead of the curve when it comes to "green technology or "green behavior". And so when the rest of the industry catches up, we're more than ready to serve them with products that meet those needs.
FST: Where do consumers fit into the picture, especially has industry moves away from traditional methods in food safety?
Schiering: About a decade ago, consumers started demanding that retailers like Walmart, Target, and local grocers provide a means of sanitizing shopping carts when they walk into their local retail establishments. There were myriad news reports about the germs and potential for contamination and illness arising from the often used and rarely cleaned implements—these vehicles for placing your groceries. We answered the call a decade ago, and at one time it was a significant piece of our business. It continues to be a marketplace we serve, albeit a much commoditized one. But the rise in that solution would not have taken place if not for consumers advocating for a better way.
We're starting to create a presence on Facebook and other social media outlets to remind consumers that it's up to them in many cases to ask for, if not demand a more effective, more pleasing way of ensuring their safety in dining establishments. Unfortunately, incidents like what we saw at the large Mexican food service retailer do ultimately play a part in that consumer advocacy, albeit a negative one, because we are a reactive society. But by presenting a positive message and sharing alternatives in the absence of citing examples or shaming retailers through the problem, we believe that will be one of the keys to changing perceptions at the retail level.

The 207 interview: Republican candidate for governor Paul LePage
After four years away from the Blaine House, he's hoping voters will send him back.
Author: Rob Caldwell
Published: 6:03 PM EDT October 20, 2022
Updated: 6:23 PM EDT October 20, 2022
PORTLAND, Maine — With the political campaigns in full swing, 207 is interviewing the candidates running for major office seats in Maine.
In the race for governor, Republican Paul LePage is trying to get his old job back. The other candidates on the ballot are Democratic incumbent Janet Mills and independent Sam Hunkler.
Here's a quick biography of LePage.
Job: Retired. Worked as a business consultant and then as general manager of Marden's Surplus & Salvage stores in Maine.
Residence: Edgecomb
Previous campaigns for office: Ran for governor in 2010 and 2014. Could not run for a third consecutive term because of term limits.
Government experience: Served as mayor of Waterville. Served as governor from 2011 to 2019.
In our conversation, LePage talked about why he has come back to politics, what his top priority would be if elected, and why he wants to leave abortion laws in Maine unchanged.
In the last part of the interview, LePage was asked about baseless claims he has made about election results, including the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. LePage objected vigorously to the premise of the question.
"I never said [Biden] didn't win," he told 207. That statement is untrue.
On Nov. 13, 2020, nearly a week after Biden had been declared the winner, LePage said in an interview with WGAN radio, "I tell you, this is clearly a stolen election. … We know that they've stolen the election."
We've included a link to that WGAN interview. You can listen to the relevant part beginning at 2:17.
Bruce Poliquin, Republican candidate for CD-2, interviews with 207
Chellie Pingree, Democratic candidate for CD-1, interviews with 207
Ed Thelander, Republican candidate for CD-1, sits down with 207

A) Its legal to use?
B)would I have to mix with diesel and or any other?
no because that would still be illegal.
what are you not going to put it in?
you can`t use red on the road , not only is it illegal but could result in a massive fine or worse your vehical could be siezed from you .
now if its an off roader only then theres no reason you cant use it .
are you already running pug on wvo?
Didnt know it was kerosene, but no its not red used to use that on the trawlers. A friend just had his tank changed and this was in the old tank.
ok, dewater it and keep for the coldest months and use at additive quantities. do you use misfuel, or petrol and diesel in winter?
In the winter I 50/50, but after reading one of your other posts I will use some petrol to help thin the wvo. Do you add the petrol in the car tank or the settle tank?
i add in the cubbie.
i find it easier to carry a couple of cubbies out to the car and pour through a long necked funnel.
i add 18 litres of oil to 2l of misfuel.
but dont forget im in a ssangyong and it can handle lower temps.
you can see the difference from when you fill the cubbie to when you pour it out.
may try to get some cheap acetone this year.

Children's Programming, Industry News
Jason Priestley & Molly Ringwald head up Family's Wonderful Wayneys
July 23, 2015 Greg David
From a media release:
Canuck A-lister Jason Priestley (Call Me Fitz, Beverly Hills: 90210, Haven) and celebrated actress Molly Ringwald (The Secret Life of the American Teenager, The Breakfast Club and the upcoming Universal Pictures film Jem & The Holograms) bring the funny to Family Channel, starring as seemingly-flawless parents to five children in the new original series The Wonderful Wayneys. From Aircraft Pictures and Dolphin Entertainment, The Wonderful Wayneys follows Paige and Wayne Wayney as they forge the path to familial greatness. The live-action comedy, created and executive produced by the witty and cheeky Tom Saunders (Arrested Development, The Larry Sanders Show), begins filming in Toronto on July 27 and will deliver 26 half-hour episodes to DHX Television for Spring 2016.
The wonderful Wayneys are an amazing family: good looking, MENSA smart, talented, athletic and popular to boot. Paige (Ringwald) and Wayne Wayney (Priestley) have worked hard at raising "multi-exceptional" offspring and are proud of their children: Adam, Conner, Bentley and Derek. Everyone in town envies them or wants to be them, and you can even find Paige's book about raising her extraordinary family on the bestseller list. But alas, their fifth child, Emmett, is not marching in lock step on the path to familial greatness. What he lacks academically, athletically and artistically, he makes up for with relentless enthusiasm and curiosity. Emmett knows that one day he'll find his way, but in the meantime he's determined to celebrate his C-average status in spectacular creative fashion – no matter how often his best laid plans threaten to destroy the family's living space, reputation or sense of safety.
Filling the roles of Priestley and Ringwald's multi-exceptional children in the series are: Luke Bilyk (Degrassi, Lost Girl) as Adam; Katie Douglas (Defiance, Max & Shred) as Conner; Matthew Tissi (Call Me Fitz, Transporter) as Bentley; Jake Sim (The Amazing Gayl Pile, Arthur) as Derek; and newcomer Simon Cadel as Emmett.
The Wonderful Wayneys is produced by Aircraft Pictures (Todd & The Book Of Pure Evil, What's Up, Warthogs!) with producers Anthony Leo and Andrew Rosen, and Dolphin Entertainment (Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, Zoey 101, and the upcoming feature film Max Steel, based on the Mattel action-figure franchise) with Executive Producer Bill O'Dowd. Tom Saunders (Arrested Development, The Larry Sanders Show) is Series Creator and Executive Producer. The show is co-executive produced by Steve Skrovan (Everybody Loves Raymond, Hot in Cleveland) and Garry Campbell (MADtv, Kids in the Hall). Tia Ayers, Barbara Haynes, Skander Halim, Max Reid, Josh Gal, Kate Spurgeon and Emer Connon round out the writing room.

The Maasai are not in a mindset of going to the dentist to prevent programs. They only go if a tooth is broken or they are in pain. No one tracks them to make sure they return.
We are establishing a computer based tracking program where we will record every child's first visit to the clinic then create a program for them to be brought back to the clinic using the local school system.
Dr. Randy Shoup and his team have the ability to place sealants on the molars and bicuspids that will stop 90% of the cavities. This process is painless, fast, no drilling, and the sealants will stay on the teeth for a lifetime.
This will be the single most important heath event in the lives of the Maasai children. Think of no pain, suffering, sleepless nights, and the tears that will be prevented by placing these sealants.
Education is very important to the Maasai children but they have few supplies. No pencils, no paper, no notebooks, no crayons.
They walk to school with nothing, use what little is at the school and maybe, if they are lucky, get a chance to use one of the few text books. They then walk home with nothing.
We want to provide well equipped backpacks with all the basis supplies every school child needs. But here is the magic!! We will go to the schools and tell the kids bout the backpacks. We will give them the backpacks when they come to the clinic and have their dental check-ups, have their sealants placed, and have a 30 minute oral hygiene lesson. At the time we will get all their data so we can track them from that point.
Most of the young girls have no feminine hygiene products to use once their monthly cycles begin. These young girls use cloth or rags or nothing during this time. The girls stay isolated and unable to go to school for 1-2 weeks per month. They miss out on so much school during the year they often simply stop going which condemns them to never getting an education and having any chance to improve their lives.
The girls have no money to purchase and even if they did there are no stores from which to buy them. A couple of Kenyan companies have made a washable and reusable pad the girls can use. Some simple instructions on how to use them and wash them will enable the girls to stay in school for the entire term.
We gladly accept your cash donations. We take this money and purchase supplies, the air-fare for the volunteers, food and equipment.
We have almost no overheard. This is a labor of love and no one gets paid or takes a salary. We have no brick and mortar to pay for, we have a cell phone, website and travel expenses that is it.

COVID-19 Response in Tennessee
By Josh Rank - March 18, 2020
Inbound Marketing (210)
Horton Group News (38)
COVID-19 continues to spread throughout Tennessee. New developments are coming everyday in regards to the numbers associated with the virus as well as the state's response.
We thought we'd give an up-to-date snapshot of where we're at here in Tennessee, and more specifically, Davidson County. So here are the recent numbers and actions along with the recommended best practices for keeping you and your family safe.
Number of Cases in Tennessee
As of this writing, Tennessee has 78 active cases of COVID-19. 42 of those cases are here in Davidson County. However, it should also be known that testing for the virus has only recently become more widely available and these numbers are expected to climb as more tests are completed.
In fact, the New York Times reports that for every known case of COVID-19, there are another five to 10 cases that are undiagnosed.
Actions by the Government
The need for testing sites is a major focal point of a lot of government action. We won't truly know how to best address the crisis if we don't know how bad it actually is. This is why Governor Bill Lee has announced the opening of 15 remote COVID-19 testing sites across the state. This includes both tents as well as walk-in facilities that will test for the virus.
The governor has also urged all Tennessee school districts to close by Friday, March 20th. The Department of Education has received two nutrition waivers from the US Department of Agriculture to continue providing meals for those who depend on them. Meals will be provided through a flexible delivery model.
The Tennessee Department of Human Services is offering a new policy for qualified families to receive cash assistance by utilizing Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds. This will provide $1,000 for a family of five or more that has had a job loss as a result of the illness. This program is expected to be operational within a week. The application will be found here when it becomes available.
Unemployment benefits are expected to become available to those put out of work as a result of COVID-19. Officials are still working with economists to find the best course of action. This will also apply to those instructed to quarantine themselves by a physician. Applications for unemployment benefits can be found here.
Nashville Mayor John Cooper has ordered the closure of all bars throughout Davidson County. He also restricted the capacity of restaurants. The Metro Board of Health approved this action and declared a public health emergency.
The Nashville School District closed all schools ahead of their scheduled Spring Break on Friday, March 13th and will remain closed until at least Friday, April 3rd.
All locations of the Nashville Public Library have closed until Thursday, April 6th.
All public transportation, as well as the Nashville International Airport, remain fully-operational as of this writing.
These are the initial symptoms that may appear between 2 and 14 days, as reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):
These advanced symptoms require immediate medical attention:
Persistent pain or pressure in the chest
New confusion or inability to arouse
Please note that this is not a comprehensive list of symptoms. Consult a medical professional if you are experiencing any severe or concerning symptoms.
It should also be highlighted that a person can carry the virus and be contagious for up to two weeks before experiencing any symptoms. This is why the government is suggesting social distancing to prevent unknowing spreading of the virus.
What to Do If You Think You're Sick
Many people that become infected with COVID-19 won't require immediate medical attention. Stay home and quarantine yourself away from family members and pets if you are displaying mild symptoms.
However, there are groups of people that carry a higher risk of severe symptoms such as older adults, and people who have serious chronic medical conditions like:
People in these groups should seek medical attention as soon as they believe they become infected with COVID-19. Call your health care provider before arriving at their facility. This gives them time to prepare for your arrival.
The best thing you can do at the moment is to stay home. Work remotely, if possible. Avoid going into public for any unnecessary reason. Those in the high-risk group should procure two weeks' worth of medications and food.
And if you have to go into public, maintain strict sanitary practices. Don't touch your face until you are able to thoroughly wash your hands. Keep a distance of six feet between yourself and others.
Where to Get Tested
The remote assessment sites are located throughout the state and can be found here.
The list of assessment sites from Vanderbilt University Medical Center can be found here. Note that they will not test individuals for COVID-19 that aren't actively displaying signs of the virus—new onset cough (within the last seven days), high fever, and shortness of breath.

We all love chocolate, don't we, but how to make chocolate dipping sauce in 5 minutes (or even under)? Nothing simpler, all it takes is 4 magic ingredients and ta-dah: all done!
You really won't believe it is homemade and you'll wonder why you haven't done it before.
Just get some nice fresh fruit like strawberries, bananas, satsumas, even apples, and dig in. Yup, the bowl of chocolate will be empty is seconds. How yummy!
That I like chocolate is a complete understatement. I LOVE it! And so does my husband! (And three quarters of the planet, most probably).
But sometimes we get fed up with the good old chocolate bar and a bit of a change is needed.
And wouldn't that be a shame to get fed up with chocolate? It would for sure. So this chocolate dipping sauce is the answer.
How do you make chocolate dipping sauce?
Rich, smooth, divinely chocolatey, this is every chocoholic's dream come true. And it's ridiculously easy to make.
All we need is double cream (or heavy cream), milk chocolate, butter and golden syrup. The butter can be replaced with coconut butter, and the golden syrup with honey.
Just add the cream and chocolate pieces to a pot set over a pan with simmering water, and once melted add the butter and syrup and mix until smooth.
What to dip in chocolate sauce?
These fruit kebabs l made go so well with the sauce, and they are the perfect summer treat. They also make you feel less guilty for indulging, in case you've been working hard to get that so dreamt beach body and now you've got yourself caught red handed with a big bowl of chocolate sauce.
Marshmallows!!! Of yes!!! Use some skewers and create your own marshmallow kebab, and that's one treat and a half.
OR how about some nice breadsticks, biscotti, pretzels, crackers? The possibilities are endless here. What l like most about dipping feuit though, especially strawberries, is that you can make a delicious dessert for a romantic dinner in two.
And that in just 5 minutes!!! Valentine's Day might be well behind us, but who said you need to have an excuse for a romantic dinner?
Can I use the chocolate sauce as a glaze for desserts?
Another amazing thing about this chocolate sauce is that it can be used in any dessert with chocolate filling. Take out the golden syrup, and you've got the perfect chocolate cream for this amazing Chocolate Roulade.
Or what about a nice glaze for some yummy donuts? Or a finger-licking topping for a lovely homemade ice cream?
Double cream and a chocolate bar may be enough to make a sauce, but to take it to the very next level, you have to add butter and syrup, they make the sauce shiny and silky, and deliciously runny.
The amounts l listed below make one cup of chocolate sauce, so increase the amounts accordingly if you need extra. Right, enough said, l need to go now, there's some luscious chocolate dipping sauce and fruit waiting for me.
If you've liked my post HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE DIPPING SAUCE or any other recipe on the blog then don't forget to rate the recipe and let me know how you got on in the comments below, I love hearing from you! You can also FOLLOW ME on FACEBOOK, and PINTEREST to see more delicious food and what I'm getting up to.
If you love chocolate and you wonder how to make chocolate dipping sauce in 5 minutes, the answer is quite simple. Only 4 ingredients and you get the silkiest, and most delicious chocolate sauce ever.
Pour the double cream into a heat-proof bowl and add to it the chocolate broken into pieces.
Place over a bowl of simmering water, making sure the bowl does not touch the water.
Leave the chocolate to melt, then add the butter and golden syrup and stir well until the butter has melted and the sauce is smooth and silky.
Leave to cool slightly, then enjoy it with your favourite fresh fruit.
Lucky you, more chocolate for you ? My husband is a chocolate monster ?
I love fruit kebabs.. In fact I love grilled pineapple slices. That strawberry and chocolate sauce sounds yum.
Ok…so my husband and oldest daughter are chocolate fanatics. Even they could make this. Perfect..I will pass this along to them…sometimes I need a break. They can make dessert for me.
Serving a fresh fruit platter with this delectable chocolate sauce is such a fabulous idea for a summer party!! This needs to happen!
I love chocolate and love that you have given an easy 5 minute recipe to pull out when needed! It looks absolutely delicious!
Chocolate is always a great idea 🙂 Love this simple, easy, fast chocolate dipping sauce!
This would be great for a dessert bar. It sounds so decadent!
Summer break is very near. I can't wait to make these with my kids:) I am sure they will enjoy these.
I just bought a bunch of strawberries, so I'd love to make this tonight! Can't wait to try it out!
Your chocolate sauce looks not only delicious but perfect layer forming when you dip the strawberry. I am going to try it.
My kids always are amazed at how they make the chocolate dips at the dessert fountain and have been bugging me to make some at home. I don't know if I will make a fountain, but I sure can make this simple dip for them. They will be excited to dip all the strawberries we pick this summer.
I love chocolate. I like chocolate dipped fruit,but even better is chocolate dipped cookies. I have never used honey though, I'm intrigued.
My mom and I are some of the biggest chocolate lovers around. I wish I had thought to make this today for Mother's Day for her! This will be a great dessert for our upcoming family beach vacation next month!
My mom and I are some of the biggest chocolate lovers around! I wish I had thought to make this today for Mother's Day for her! This will be a great dessert for our upcoming family beach vacation next month!
It's lovely indeed. In Romania we celebrate Mother's Day on the 8th March actually, but l can say Happy Mother's Day to her several times ?
Wow, who will say no to a delicious chocolate sauce, i have never added golden syrup to sauce, will try this next time!!!!
Oh that's a good idea, the sauce will go very well with pancakes ?
Looks amazing. We love chocolate covered strawberries. On a strict diet, or I'd try it.
Chocolate sauce is my all time favourite treat! This is such an easy and mouth-watering dip!

The Mad Major of Ardvorlich
Major James "Beag" Stewart, the second Laird of Ardvorlich on Loch Earn, is perhaps, one of the most misrepresented characters in Scottish history. Much of the guilt for this we must lay at the door of none other than Sir Walter Scott. Scott was without doubt the most widely read and popular writer of his day when he wrote the story of James Stewart's life under the title of "The Legend of Montrose". In the book he named the hero, based on James Stewart , Allan McAulay and changed the name of his family castle on Loch Earn from Ardvorlich to Darnlinvarach, but made no secret of the fact that both were based on James Stewart and his family home Ardvorlich. To this day, if you look inside the old ruined kirk at Dundurn, St. Fillans, you will see the name Allan McAulay carved at the foot of Major James Stewart's memorial plaque on the old stone wall. The Stewart family obviously did not take too unkindly to their relative being portrayed as – to borrow the Byronic epithet - "mad, bad and dangerous to know"; presumably taking the view that all publicity is good publicity and assuring Major James Stewart more than a mere footnote in the turbulent annals of Scottish history.
What is true, if modern medical theorists are to be believed, is that any trauma or stress suffered by the mother whilst pregnant may well adversely affect the mental state of her child after birth. If that is indeed the case, then the horrific event that Margaret, James Stewart's mother and the Lady of Ardvorlich, was forced to endure would produce a child with more mental problems than most.
Born Margaret Drummond-Ernoch, in the parish of Comrie, Margaret Stewart's brother John was the hereditary Keeper of the King's Forest of Glenartney and in October 1589 was charged with the task of producing enough venison for the forthcoming wedding feast of King James VI and his new Danish queen Anne.
Plagued by marauding bands of MacGregors from the Braes of Balquhidder poaching the best hinds and ignoring his pleas to desist, John Drummond-Ernoch had decided to teach the thieves a lesson one day by capturing several of the brigands and cutting off their ears before sending them packing back to the Braes of Balquhidder. Not being a Clan to take such a humiliation lightly, the MacGregors vowed vengeance and it was not long before they made their way back to Glenartney intent on making Drummond-Ernoch pay the ultimate price for daring to humiliate the Clan Gregor. He may have cut off their ears but he would pay with his entire head.
No one insulted a MacGregor and got away with it. The unsuspecting Keeper was subsequently ambushed in the forest and then ceremoniously beheaded with a Clan Gregor claymore.
Their bloodlust satisfied, they wrapped the bloodied head of the luckless Keeper in a plaid and made their way back to Balquhidder where the MacGregor clansmen were quickly rallied, under their young Chief Alasdair MacGregor of Glenstrae.
In the little kirk at Balquhidder the severed head of John Drummond-Ernoch was placed on the altar. Solemnly the young Chief walked up to it and, placing his right hand on the blood-matted hair of the dead Keeper's head, he swore to protect the murderers with his own life and take their guilt upon himself and the entire Clan. The other Clansmen gathered for this gruesome ceremony had no option but to follow suit.
Not content with this atrocity, the murderous gang decided to wreak their vengeance on the Keeper's sister who was married to Alexander Stewart, the Laird of Ardvorlich on Loch Earn. The Stewarts of Ardvorlich had long been bitter adversaries of the Balquhidder MacGregors who now hatched a cruel plan in their quest for further revenge. With the bloodied head of her brother wrapped in plaid, and knowing that her husband Alexander Stewart himself was away from home, in the shadow of darkness they made for the castle, to bang on the door and demand hospitality of the unsuspecting young woman.
The Laird's heavily pregnant wife Margaret was home alone, sitting at the large table in the dining hall finishing a supper of bread and cheese when, startled by the banging on the door, she rose to see who was there at that ungodly time of night. No doubt petrified at the sight of the rough gang that confronted her, Highland hospitality being what it is, she had no choice but ask them to step inside. As they made themselves comfortable round the dining table, she hurried down to the kitchens to fetch more food and drink for the unwelcome guests. Nothing could have prepared her for what awaited her on her return. There on the large ashet in the middle of the dining table lay the bloodied, severed head of her brother John with the remnants of her own supper of bread and cheese stuffed into his gaping mouth.
Letting out a shriek of horror, she made for the door and fled the castle, running in a blind panic towards the wooded slopes of Ben Vorlich looming out of the darkness behind. Half demented with the horror of the scene she had just witnessed, the petrified young woman hid in the woods over the next few days, too terrified to return, until eventually she was found by her distraught husband and taken back to the castle. Legend has it that she gave birth to her son alone on that terrible night by the edge of the nearby little loch known to this day as the Lady's Loch . She never fully recovered her sanity and her young son who grew up to be the famous Major James Stewart of the Covenanting Wars vowed from childhood that he would get even with the Clan that had caused his beloved mother and family such suffering. It was said that for the rest of his life Jamie, as he was known, "never spared a MacGregor, and his mother's sufferings always came before him like blood into the eyes".
James Stewart grew into manhood as an exceptionally tall, well-built young man, "with such a power in the grasp of his hand as could force the blood from beneath the nails of the persons who contended with him in a feat of strength". His temper was said to be volatile and he took any perceived hurt against his family or their dependents as a personal insult to be avenged as fiercely and quickly as possible.
From childhood his great friend was his cousin John, Lord Kilpont, the eldest son of the William Graham, Earl of Airth and Menteith. When what became known as the Covenanting Wars broke out between the Stewart King Charles I and the Presbyterian Church of Scotland over the refusal of the Kirk to countenance the restoration of Bishops or the divine right of Kings to meddle in Kirk affairs, Ardvorlich, being himself a direct descendant of the Stewart King Robert II, naturally joined the Royalist forces under James Graham, the Marquis of Montrose, along with his cousin and best friend John Graham, Lord Kilpont. It is said that it was Jamie Stewart who had persuaded his friend to join the Royalist cause once Kilpont's cousin James Graham, the Marquis of Montrose himself had defected from the Covenanting side.
On 31 st August 1644, Ardvorlich and Kilpont decided to throw in their lot with the Royalist forces under Montrose at Buchanty Hill. They were accompanied by Sir John Drummond, the younger son of the Earl of Perth and a relation on his mother's side, the Master of Madderty who was Montrose's brother-in-law and others of the local Perthshire gentry.
In their first foray under the King's colours Ardvorlich was accompanied by two of his sons, John "Iain Dubh Mhor" Stewart and his younger son Henry. Although family ties had at first made them sympathetic to the Stewart King, like Montrose himself they had initially backed the Covenant and still held a strong belief in the Presbyterian Kirk as the Established Church of Scotland. Like most Scotsmen they felt the basic tenet of the Presbyterianism where the congregation chose their own Minister to be closest to the egalitarian Scottish character and they deeply resented King Charles I's avowed intent to impose English Episcopalianism on their country. This form of worship they regarded as little better than a watered down version of Roman Catholicism and the imposition of Bishops who would be chosen by the King and who would then in turn appoint their Ministers was too much to accept. In short, the Covenant drawn up by the Scots which refused to accept this form of worship thrust upon an unwilling country was a cause worth fighting for. Great moral certitudes, however, did not take account of the clash of personalities that ensued and Montrose's increasing disillusionment with the growing power of the Campbells under the strong personality of the Marquis of Argyll, who led the Covenanting Army, had probably more to do with his changing sides than anything else. Montrose was also uncomfortable with the hardening of Covenanting attitudes towards the recalcitrant King so when it was known that he had changed allegiance and joined the Royalist cause it helped persuade Ardvorlich and others of the Perthshire gentry to follow suit.
After joining up with Montrose and his men at Buchanty Hill, the morning of Sunday, 1 st September, 1644 found the Royalist Army advancing into what was home territory for Ardvorlich and Kilpont. Aware that the Covenanters under General Sir David Leslie and Lord Elcho were not far behind them, the Marquis and his men had crossed the River Almond and entered the fertile valley of Strathearn in preparation for the confrontation with the enemy which they knew could not be far off. They seemed a raggle-taggle collection of men and a poor match for the well-disciplined Covenanters under David, Lord Elcho, who were now mustering on the moorland between Tippermuir and Cultmalindy, just outside of Perth . Leslie, the Covenanter General had won great honours as a supreme Army Commander on the Continent and was a far more experienced soldier than the much younger Montrose. Although fearsome looking with their claymores and Lochaber axes, the Royalists were a sadly depleted force composed mainly of Highlanders, loyal to the Stewarts but neither as well drilled nor as well-equipped as the enemy. Their numbers had, however, just been augmented by a contingent of wild Irish mercenaries recruited by Alastair MacDonald of Keppoch.
These Irishmen, led by MacDonald, had arrived on the scene from the West via Ardvorlich lands around Loch Earn and their reputation had preceded them. It was not long before word got to Jamie Stewart that these men whom he now had to regard as comrades in arms had recently laid waste to his own estates and left rape and pillage in their wake. Ardvorlich lands had been burned and plundered, the cattle slaughtered, the women raped and many Stewart clansmen put to the sword. He was beside himself with rage and found it difficult to contain his ire as he was forced to fight cheek by jowl with these savages. The ensuing battle on the flat, boggy moorland of Tippermuir and the subsequent victory of the 2000 Royalists over the 6000 Covenanter Army was against all the odds, thanks in main to the newly-arrived Irish contingent. This victory, however, did nothing to temper Ardvorlich's rage.
James Stewart shared a tent with his cousin and best friend John Graham, Lord Kilpont, and, as MacDonald and the Irish were under Kilpont's command, Ardvorlich lost no time in venting his anger to his friend about the atrocities carried out by them on Loch Earn. Kilpont promised to take the matter up with Montrose but was well aware that the Marquis now needed the Irish on side more than ever. Their worth had been proved at Tippermuir.
By the time they made camp a few days later at the foot of Dunsinane Hill near the old kirk of Collace not far from Coupar Angus, Stewart could not let the matter lie any longer. How could he rest knowing that the murderers of his people were in his midst and both his Commander and his best friend were letting them get away with it?
On the night of Thursday 5 th September, the battle weary men bedded down for the night by the banks of a small burn and the wounded were taken into the kirk to be tended to. In the early hours of the morning, after several drinks, things in the Ardvorlich/Kilpont tent began to get more than a little heated. Jamie Stewart demanded that now the battle was over his friend immediately discipline MacDonald and the Irish. How could he allow the devils who had carried out these foul deeds on his people and lands go unpunished for one day longer? No retribution could be too harsh for such savages. To his consternation and disbelief, Stewart found Kilpont declare himself in an impossible position. Whilst professing total sympathy with his friend for what had happened on the Ardvorlich lands, Kilpont had spoken with his cousin Montrose and they both agreed they had been totally reliant on MacDonald and the Irish for the victory at Tippermuir. If they were to have any chance of future victories against the might of Argyll and his men it was imperative they be kept on side.
On the instructions of Montrose, Kilpont attempted to play the peacemaker. He called for Alastair MacDonald, who was in charge of the Irishmen, and made him proffer his hand by way of apology to Ardvorlich. This meaningless gesture was too much for Jamie Stewart, who, grasping it in fury, squeezed so hard that it made the blood ooze from under Alastair MacDonald's fingernails.
Kilpont was furious. He had instructions from Montrose to calm matters down but now tempers were flaring out of control. A drunken brawl ensued in which Stewart, in a blind rage, took his dirk and stabbed his friend through the heart. As his mother sufferings had "come before him like blood into his eyes" so the sufferings of his people had driven him to this – the killing of his best friend and kinsman, John Graham.
With Kilpont lying dead at his feet, and the rest of the camp now alerted to the shouting and disruption within the tent, in the melee that ensued Ardvorlich fought off two of the Irish who had joined in the fracas and, leaving them dying in his wake next to their dead officer, made his escape. Within minutes he had disappeared into the thick mist that covered the foot of Dunsinane hill where the rest of the exhausted army lay sleeping. One can only imagine what went through his mind as behind him he left not only three men dead but also his teenage son Harry lying dying in Collace Kirk of wounds sustained on the battlefield at Tippermuir.
To the consternation of Montrose, Ardvorlich also took with him all the men he had mustered from his Loch Earn estates as he rode hell for leather for the opposing Covenanting side. The only close comrade missing in his flight was his own eldest son John Stewart – "Iain Dubh Mhor". Iain Dhu was obviously cut from the same cloth as his father, with very much a mind of his own, as after his father's defection he remained with the Royalists, joined the Atholl Regiment and continued to fight for the King John Murray, the 1 st Marquis of Atholl was a close friend of Iain's, probably through the Murrays of Atholl holding the superiority of the lands of Dalveich and Carnlea on Loch Earn and the family were old friends of the Stewarts of Ardvorlich.
Argyll was delighted with the defection of so well-regarded an officer and his men and, proving himself a competent soldier on the field of battle, Jamie Stewart was promoted from his previous rank of Captain in the Royalist cause to a Major on the Covenanter side by 1648. Much anti-Royalist propaganda was engendered throughout Scotland by the Kilpont incident and Ardvorlich found himself a hero in the eyes of many.
Major James Stewart became a highly regarded officer throughout the remaining years of the Covenanting Wars and was frequently mentioned in the battles of his commanding officer General Sir David Leslie. He is also on record as having saved the lives of several of his former Royalist friends through his close connection with Leslie when the King's cause became hopeless and the gallows awaited most of the high-ranking officers.
A few months after the incident at Collace, in March 1645, the government ratified Ardvorlich's pardon and stated that he and his friends had joined up with Montrose at the same time as Kilpont but that: "…heartily thereafter repenting of this error in joining with the said rebels and abhorring their cruelty, (Ardvorlich) resolves with his said friends to forsake their wicked company and imparted this resolution to the said umquhile Lord Kilpont. But he, out of his malignant dispositions, opposed the same, and fell in struggling with the said James (Stewart) who, for his own relief was forced to kill him at the Kirk of Collace, with two Irish rebels who resisted his escape, and so removed happily with his said friends and came straight to the Marquis of Argyll and offered their service to their country. Whose carriage in this particular being considered by the Committee of Estates, they by their act of 10 December last, find and declare that the said Stewart did good service to the Kingdom in killing the said Lord Kilpont and two Irish rebels aforesaid being in actual rebellion against the country, and approved of what he did therein".
For Argyll, the defection of Ardvorlich and his friends and vassals to the Covenanters' side was a great coup. Buoyed up by this he reissued the reward of £20,000 bounty for anyone who would succeed in killing the Royalist leader Montrose himself. James Graham, the Marquis of Montrose, was not be so easily caught, however, and in April of that year, in revenge for his cousin Lord Kilpont's death, on his way to the Trossachs he deliberately marched his men along the southern shore of Loch Earn destroying what remained of the Ardvorlich estate that had survived the initial Irish onslaught. This callous act found great favour with the outlawed Clan MacGregor of Balquhidder, many of whom as a consequence rushed to join the Royalist colours.
Major James Stewart went on to see the Covenanters' cause prevail and watch, with undoubted mixed emotions, as his kinsman James Graham, the young Marquis of Montrose, was led to the scaffold at the Mercat Cross in Edinburgh on the 21 st May 1650. The Stewart King Charles I for whom so many had paid with their lives also lost his head and the divine right of kings died with him. To the end Montrose vowed his loyalty to the first Covenant and the tenets of Presbyterianism it represented but declared it was only the later strictures of the Solemn League that he could not support. In truth he had joined the fray as much against the powerful Campbells who, from their stronghold of Inverary Castle in Argyll, he had seen as much a threat to the country as the Stewarts adherence to the divine right of kings. In doing so he had backed the wrong horse and paid with his life. Thousands of young men – "the flower of Scotland " lay dead in his wake and old family loyalties had been torn apart. His cousin John Graham, Lord Kilpont, lay dead and buried, killed in the heat of the moment by his kinsman and best friend James Stewart of Ardvorlich who went on to help lead the Covenanting Army to its ultimate victory.
In 1654, after hostilities had ceased, James, alongside the heads of all the other Stewart houses in Balquhidder, Athol and Appin, signed the Bond of Keltney Burn . In this they promised their future allegiance to the beheaded king's son King Charles II. Given that this Bond was signed during the era of Cromwell's Commonwealth and only five years after the beheading of Charles I, it would appear that the extended Royal Stewart family still had the greatest difficulty denying their blood ties and loyalty to the dynasty from which they all sprang.
A few years later James was approached by the Earl of Moray for his help in expelling the outlawed Clan Gregor from Glen Finglas. It was well-known that the MacGregors had no greater enemy in all Scotland and that few, if any, was better qualified for the task than the Major. The MacGregor Chief was subsequently captured and marched off the Doune Castle , the great fortress, built centuries before by James Stewart's own ancestor., the Duke of Albany. In recognition for his services James was granted significant lands in Glen Finglas.
He married twice, firstly to Barbara Murray of Buchanty by whom he had four children and secondly to the widow`Janet Buchanan with whom there was no issue. Interestingly, the son to whom he remained closest was John Stewart "Iain Dubh Mhor' – a natural child of whose mother we have no record.
Jamie Stewart, through his exploits in the Covenanting Wars and larger than life personality, went on to become both a legend in his own lifetime and far beyond – receiving the ultimate accolade when Sir Walter Scott wrote a best-selling book about him. When the war was over Stewart returned to Ardvorlich to pick up the pieces and attempt to resurrect the fortunes of the estate after the ravages of war. To the end of his days he vowed vengeance against the MacGregors who had wreaked so much misery of his own family and others around Loch Earn. He did as much as anyone to persuade the King and parliament to continue to outlaw the Clan by "letters of fire and sword", depriving them of their name and lands. So great was the animosity between the MacGregors of Balquhidder and the Stewarts of Ardvorlich that when the Major eventually died peacefully in his bed the former concocted a gruesome plan to disrupt the funeral procession and desecrate the body.
Hearing that their sworn enemy had died and knowing that, according to tradition, his body would be carried by his retainers from his home at Ardvorlich along the shores of Loch Earn to be buried in the family vault in the kirk at Dundurn, the MacGregors vowed to carry out the ultimate insult. They laid a plan to intercept the funeral party and capture James Stewart's body which would then be beheaded and denied the final respect of a proper funeral.
To the fury of the MacGregors, however, their cruel plan was betrayed to the Stewarts who secretly buried their Laird by the lochside before the Clan Gregor could get their hands on his body. The corpse of James Stewart lay there for several years and was only disinterred in during more peaceful times when they could safely carry out the official burial in the kirk at Dundurn without fear of interruption. To this day a stone marks the spot near the shore of Loch Earn where the Major was temporarily laid to rest. It reads, "This stone marks the place of the interment of Major James Stewart afterwards removed to the family vault at Dundurn. Died about 1660".
Another commemorative stone is still visible nearby. Reading "Near this spot we re interred the bodies of 7 MacDonalds of Glencoe killed when attempting to harry Ardvorlich. Anno Domini 1620", it stands testament to a raid on Ardvorlich by seven MacDonalds, led by a MacGregor, who descended on Loch Earn with the intention of laying waste to the Stewart home. Again the Stewarts succeeded in thwarting their enemies, fighting off and killing the potential raiders and burying their bodies by the side of the loch. Interestingly, many years later during the building of the present road on the south side of Loch Earn seven skeletons were unearthed.
One mile east of the bridge over the River Earn is a small settlement around the old railway bridge and it was here in 1803 that road builders uncovered a large number of skeletons, complete with decaying rags of clothing and metal buttons. Local tradition had it that these were some of the countless MacGregors and their cohorts the MacDonalds that James Stewart had slaughtered in his lifetime as Laird of Ardvorlich. Certainly on one occasion James Beag took a dozen MacGregors prisoner and hanged them himself rather than turn them over to the Crown for prosecution. Little wonder when he died there were those only too willing to desecrate his corpse.
"The Mad Major", as he was sometimes known, was certainly a larger than life figure and his memory and exploits have endured down the centuries. His son John "Iain Dhu Mhor", for his part became just as larger than life a character. He is recorded as being an exceptionally tall, fine-looking man as the Gaelic nickname "Iain Dhu Mhor' _ Big Black John – indicates. He is said to have been "a very fine looking Highlander and a good soldier". He became a great favourite with John Murray, the first Marquis of Atholl, and his wife the former Lady Amelia Stanley, Countess of Derby, and was a frequent visitor to their home Blair Castle . In fact when the Marquis first brought his young English wife to Scotland , Iain Dhu Mohr Stewart , clad in his full Highland regalia, was invited specially to be introduced to her as the finest possible specimen of Highland manhood. He consequently became a great favourite of the pair and spent a lot of his time at Blair Castle . So great was the friendship between the Murrays and Iain Dhu that the Marquis actually granted the lands of Dalveich and Carnlea and Lechine of Auchraw to him. He lived to be a great age, dying – so family tradition has it – at over one hundred years. Active through the Covenanting Wars of the mid 1600s, he lived to experience the Jacobite Uprising of 1715 and to see his great grandchildren into adulthood. It is thought that he died in late 1732 and is almost certainly buried in the family vault at Dundurn. His family farmed the lands of Dalveich, Auchleskine, Ardveich, Carnlea, Lechine and Keip.
Iain Dhu Mhor 's son and Major James Stewart's grandson, was Alexander Stewart born in Dalveich in 1665 and named after Iain Dhu's grandfather Alexander Stewart, the first t Laird of Ardvorlich. Alexander, who was known as Sandy , married a cousin Janet Stewart, whose mother was a MacLaren.
Their son Donald, who was born on 4 th September 1720 in Auchleskine of Ardveich and Keip, Balquhidder, was a tacksman and farmed at Ardveich and Keip. He married Isabella MacGregor, on 10 th April 1756 at Balquhidder – thereby, within two generations, uniting the two local warring Clans at last. She was the daughter of Alexander MacGregor and a MacLaren. Alexander was the son of Sir Gregor MacGregor of Clan Dughail Chair, the great Clan Chief.
Donald Stewart and Isabella MacGregor's son John Stewart was christened on 23 rd March 1760 in Dalveich. He married a second cousin Anne Stewart, daughter of James "Og" Stewart. They had six children. Their youngest son the Reverend Alexander Stewart was a great Gaelic scholar and became Minister at Killin. Their second son Robert, baptised on 18 th March 1798, at Dalveich, was my own great great grandfather.
The descendants of James Stewart, the mad Major of Ardvorlich, are now scattered throughout the world but they can claim descent from some of the most colourful characters ever to have strode the pages of Scottish history and there are few places witness to so much of that history than the lands of Loch Earn and Balquhidder. Those of us with the good fortune to live here are blessed indeed.

"The tragedies foretold in Fatima did not come to an end with the demise of Communism. The crisis has not been resolved. From a certain point of view it is still as serious as it ever was, as it is primarily a crisis of faith, hence a moral and social crisis."
— Pope Benedict XVI
The apparitions in 1917 of the Blessed Virgin Mary to three peasant children in Fatima, Portugal, are perhaps the most important private revelations in the history of the Church. At the height of World War I and on the eve of the Russian Revolution, Our Lady appeared in Fatima to warn us of another even greater world war, the spread of Communism, and a terrible persecution of the Church unless people returned to God. She asked for us to offer daily prayer and sacrifice for conversion of the world and salvation of souls.
Because of the prophetic nature of Our Lady's messages and their potential significance for the entire world, they have been the subject of much study and controversy, and they have influenced the decisions not only of many individuals, but also of Popes, Bishops, and heads of state.
To celebrate the 100th anniversary of these important apparitions and messages for the modern world, renowned author-photographer team Grzegorz Górny and Janusz Rosikon traveled throughout Europe to tell the story of Fatima and its impact on the destiny of both individuals and nations. With stunningly beautiful four-color photographs on every page, and in-depth detail and insights on all aspects of the story and message of Fatima, they probe the mysteries of Fatima and their continued relevance for our modern age. Lavishly Illustrated
"This is a very special book on the whole story, messages and meaning of Fatima. It is a great treasury of information and inspiration for the 100th anniversary of Fatima, filled with stunning photos and images. This book will help you to do what Pope Benedict XVI asked of us all - to learn, live and spread the message of Fatima!"
- Fr. Andrew Apostoli, C.F.R., Author, Fatima For Today
"What a masterpiece! Fatima Mysteries is the most comprehensive and thoroughly researched book I have ever read on the Fatima apparitions. It offers an historical, cultural, and theological presentation of everything there is to know about the importance of one of the greatest events in modern times."

Celibacy for religious and monastics (monks and sisters/nuns) and for bishops is upheld by both the Roman Catholic Church and Orthodox Christian traditions. Bishops must be unmarried men or widowers; a married man cannot become a bishop. In Latin Rite Catholicism and in some Eastern Catholic Churches, most priests are celibate men. Exceptions are admitted and there are over 200 married Catholic priests who converted from the Anglican Communion and Protestant faiths. In most Orthodox traditions and in some Eastern Catholic Churches men who are already married may be ordained priests, but priests may not marry after ordination.

In the New York Times, fiscal cliff negotiations were front and center, as a number of has-beens and future has-beens blathered incessantly on the topic.
This essay will cite some of the specifics in the articles referred to above, and then turn to tax benefits and all the opportunities they afford legislators to make a grand bargain.
David Brooks, Times columnist, wrote an op-ed piece proposing a road map for conservatives in Congress. Brooks, you might remember, is the former moderate conservative who threw Mitt Romney under the bus. Conservatives should now be treating his comments with some degree of skepticism, in my opinion. He wrote, "... they [Republicans in the House] have to acknowledge how badly things are stacked against them," "... shafting Sam's Club to benefit the country club," and something about printing "47 percent" on T-shirts.
Brooks' comments are trite and already under advisement. If he wants to be taken seriously by Republicans, he shouldn't insult them. I know this tactic makes his column more palatable to the paper's predominantly liberal readers, but Brooks should set aside personal gain when discussing such a serious subject.
"If Mr. Boehner had used a calculator ... he would have discovered it is impossible to produce $800 billion in revenue from eliminating deductions without severely curtailing the deduction for charitable donations." This is shortsighted perspective as will be demonstrated later in this essay.
Is it productive to have the left-wingers at the Times stirring the pot and fanning the flames of class warfare? Where is the paper's sense of responsibility relating to keeping the conversations civil? Ladies and gentlemen of the Times, we all know that someone suffers, be it rich people, poor people, not-for-profits, for-profits, special interest groups, or whomever in proposals to increase taxes and decrease spending. Can we all just stipulate that Americans will have less when this process has ended?
The Times reports the recommendations made by a "Democratic Group" of luminaries that arguably has thousands of IQ points at their disposal, but little sense of what it will take to strike a fiscal cliff deal. With all this brainpower, people like John Podesta, Bob Rubin, Larry Sommers, Bill Daley, and Roger Altman suggested that rates for the rich should be increased to the Clinton-era rates (that's original), tax benefits for the rich should be limited (another deep thought), the capital gains tax should increase along with the rate on dividend income, carried interest for investment fund managers should rise, etc.
Is this all you guys have? I hope you negotiated all this on a conference call in less than 45 minutes and didn't waste any money on bringing in lunch.
The aforementioned lists the 10 largest federal tax benefits. During the next five years, our government will forego over $4 trillion because of these items. By the way, charitable deductions, that were the centerpiece in the Times editorial, only account for $249 billion of the total. When conversations about decreasing tax benefits for the rich occur, why aren't our leaders and legislators considering all of these items to minimize the impact on any individual special interest group?
A great deal of the tax benefits listed above affect all Americans, so they would not be cut. But, a huge, uncalculated amount belongs to the affluent. For instance, the top 5% of earners probably account for most of the capital gains deduction of $357 billion. As a reminder, the numbers referred to are for five years only, not the standard 10-year horizon. So, the $4 trillion cited earlier could be as high as $8-9 trillion over a decade.
Social Security payments in 2013 will $$820 billion (22% of the budget). FICA receipts currently offset much of this amount, but this will change dramatically in the near future. Medical expense, which includes Medicare and Medicaid, will total $811 (21%) and will increase markedly in years to come. Interest on our national debt will be $583 billion (15%), and grow minute by minute as the country borrows more money. Together, these items will effectively bankrupt our country if not reformed. There is no long-term solution to the fiscal cliff problem without the inclusion of spending reform. Republicans should not yield in this regard.
The fiscal cliff conversations as tedious and confusing as they are have exposed America's vulnerability. Our country is in danger if we continue to live beyond our means. The mission of America is not to make a profit like corporations. But being able to fund services, provide security, and insure a minimal amount of suffering can only be accomplished in the long-term through effective fiscal management.


Amnesty International USA has announced that the next executive director of the organization will be Steven Hawkins '88. Hawkins joins Amnesty international from the NAACP, where he served as executive vice president and chief program officer. Previously, Hawkins has also served as executive director of the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty, as senior program manager at Justice, Equality, Human Dignity and Tolerance, and as program executive at Atlantic Philanthropies.
Hawkins was a Root Tilden scholar at NYU Law, and, after graduating in 1988, he clerked for Judge A. Leon Higginbotham of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. In 2003, Hawkins was the recipient of the Law School's Public Interest Service Award.
"Steve Hawkins has an innate understanding of grassroots advocacy and the power of people to bring about social change. He will be a galvanizing force in inspiring and engaging our members, volunteers, supporters and staff," said Shahram Hashemi, chair of the board of Amnesty International USA, in a press release. "We are excited to have Steve at the helm. He is a leader with the heart, vision and drive to help us win the human rights battles ahead."
"The NAACP has been an integral and valued part of my life and career for many years and leaving is not an easy decision. However, the chance to join Amnesty's tireless activists and fight human rights injustice on a global scale is a battle I cannot refuse," said Hawkins in the press release. "I am honored to join Amnesty USA and continue to be part of a movement that will drive social change and protect the rights of all people.

Lagos—Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, elders, in the South West, yesterday described the recently conducted 2019 general elections as a flop characterized with deliberate sabotage, treachery and outright banditry.
The elders, who expressed their displeasure at a state of the nation meeting in Lagos, said that the present electoral processes wherein result sheets are physically carried across the nation are absolutely primitive and apparently susceptible to all kinds of distortions.
The elders, which comprises of Former Deputy National Chairman (South) of the PPD, Chief Bode George; former deputy governor in Lagos State, Senator Kofoworola Bucknor-Akerele; Captain Tunji Shelle; Ebenezer Babatope; Chief Okanlawon Soboyede; Dr. Adegbola Dominic; Engr Tony Ojesina; Dare Adeleje among others.
Speaking on behalf of the caucus, Prince Uthman Shodipe-Dosunmu, explained that the apparent distortions in Yobe, Borno, Rivers, Lagos, Adamawa, Kano and several other states diminished the purity of a fledgling democratic state.
The elders also expressed support for PDP Presidential candiadate, Atiku Abubaker to seek justice in Court.


The Mental Health Dissertation Research Grant to Increase Diversity allows for budget requests to cover full-time salary support and modest research funds for up to two years, but no less than 12 months, for eligible students to facilitate completion of their doctoral research project and dissertation in a research area relevant to the NIMH mission and strategic research priorities (). These awards are available to predoctoral students who are enrolled in good standing at accredited domestic or foreign institutions and who have an approved dissertation proposal at the time of the award. Applicants must have the goal of becoming successful researchers in areas of biomedical or behavioral science relevant to the mission of the NIMH.
The purpose of this program is to facilitate completion of a doctoral research project and dissertation in a research area relevant to the NIMH mission and research priorities, as articulated in the NIMH Strategic Plan. Because the Research Plan component is restricted to 6 pages, a dissertation research grant application will not have the same level of detail or extensive discussion found in an R01 application. Accordingly, reviewers should evaluate the conceptual framework and general approach to the problem, rather than methodological details and preliminary data. Appropriate justification for the proposed work may be provided through literature citations, data from other sources, or from investigator-generated data. Preliminary data are not required.
In the Final Progress Report, the PD/PI must provide information on the status of his/her dissertation research project, the actual or anticipated dissertation defense date, the actual or anticipated graduation date, and post-doctoral career plans (e.g., if he/she has accepted a job or post-doctoral research position, and if so, the position title and the employer).
Details of dissertation writing, consulting, and coaching services.
The Healthcare Research and Quality Act of 1999, in amending the Public Health Service Act, directed AHRQ, in carrying out its mission, to conduct and support research and evaluations, and to support demonstration projects, with respect to the delivery of health care in inner-city and rural areas (including frontier areas), and health care for priority populations. Priority populations include low income groups; minority groups; women; children; the elderly; and individuals with special health care needs, including individuals with disabilities and individuals who need chronic care or end-of-life health care. This authority is found at 42 USC 299(c). To implement this statutory mandate, AHRQ published a Notice in the NIH Guide on February 28, 2003, establishing a new Agency policy on the Inclusion of Priority Populations in health services research (see ). Applicants under this FOA should consider and discuss including priority populations in the research design as specified in this Notice. AHRQ policy also requires that women and members of minority groups be included in all AHRQ-supported research projects involving human subjects, unless a clear and compelling rationale and justification is provided that inclusion is inappropriate with respect to the health of the subjects or the purpose of the research.
Does the application challenge and seek to shift current research or clinical practice paradigms by utilizing novel theoretical concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions? Are the concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions novel to one field of research or novel in a broad sense? Is a refinement, improvement, or new application of theoretical concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions proposed? Innovation should be considered within the context of the doctoral dissertation: Is the level of innovation appropriate for the PD/PI's career stage?
The research strategy for this dissertation was established by adopting a way which the research objectives can be answered.

EXPLORE NAMPA LIVING
Nampa is the 3rd largest city in the state of Idaho and is part of Idaho's largest metropolitan area. The city is located about 20 miles west of Boise along interstate 84 and 6 miles west of Meridian. The city's amenities enhance the excitement of a culturally rich urban core and translate into a dynamic market.
Nampa offers an environment rich in endless natural beauty, local history and culture, and economic well-being. The city has a long history of providing a business friendly atmosphere, low operating costs, skilled employees and a great quality of life. Nampa's food processing and manufacturing continues to flourish while industries such as agribusiness, high tech, shared services, and bio sciences
are on the rise.
Historic Downtown Nampa has it all. Anchored by Library Square, this walkable, preserved historic area is home to the Nampa Train Depot Museum, Wall Street Plaza, Lloyd's Square Park, Nampa Public Library, the Nampa Farmer's Market, restaurants, art galleries, one-of-a-kind shops, live entertainment venues, residential and more.
NAMPA THEN & NOW
Nampa began its life in the early 1880s when the Oregon Short Line Railroad built a line from Granger, Wyoming, to Huntington, Oregon, which passed through Nampa. More railroad lines sprang up running through Nampa, making it a very important railroad town. Alexander and Hannah Duffes established one of the town's first homesteads, eventually forming the Nampa Land and Improvement Company with the help of their friend and co-founder, James McGee. In spite of the name, many of the first settlers referred to the town as "New Jerusalem" because of the strong religious focus of its citizens. After only a year the town had grown from 15 homes to 50. As new amenities were added to the town, Nampa continued its growth and was incorporated in 1890.
Unlike most towns in that historic era with streets running true north and south, Nampa's historic roads run perpendicular to the railroad tracks that travel northwest to southeast through the town. Thus, the northside is really the northeast side of the tracks, and the southside is really the southwest side of the railroad tracks. Founder Alexander Duffes laid out Nampa's streets this way to prevent an accident like one that occurred earlier in a town he had platted near Toronto, Canada. In that town, a woman and her two children were killed by a train when they started across the railroad tracks in a buggy and the wheel got stuck. As the Oregon Short Line railroad originally bypassed Boise, Nampa has the fanciest of many railroad depots built in the area.
The first elementary school was built in the 1890s. Lakeview School was located on a hill on 6th Street and 12th Avenue North, with a view of Lake Ethel. Just after the school's centennial celebration, it was condemned as a school and sold to the First Mennonite Church. In 2008 the building was refurbished, and is now being used by the Idaho Arts Charter School.
Deer Flat Reservoir, an offstream irrigation storage reservoir, was constructed by the United States Bureau of Reclamation between 1906 and 1911. Known locally as Lake Lowell, it is surrounded by the Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge, which was established in 1909 by President Theodore Roosevelt. The refuge is administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Lake Lowell is filled by the concrete New York Canal; the water is diverted from the Boise River a few miles below Lucky Peak Dam.
A local congregation of the Church of the Nazarene built a small elementary school in 1913, later growing to Northwest Nazarene College in 1915 and finally to Northwest Nazarene University. The university currently has a student body of 2,500 undergraduate and graduate students.
Nampa is growing fast, with new homes, new shopping centers and new roads. Treasure Valley Marketplace north of the Karcher Interchange has a number of retailers including Costco, Target, Best Buy, Cost Plus World Market, Olive Garden, Michael's, DressBarn, Old Navy, Bed Bath & Beyond, Petco and Kohl's. Across from Treasure Valley Marketplace is located a second shopping center containing a McDonald's. The Nampa Gateway Center is a shopping center under development near the Idaho Center off the Garrity Boulevard Exit of Interstate 84. J.C. Penney, the Sports Authority, Macy's, the Idaho Athletic Club, and Edwards Cinema are located in the Nampa Gateway Center. Wal-Mart is also in the same area.

The teen techie taking giant strides
Spotify to Launch in Nigeria, 39 Other African Countries in Latest Expansion Drive
Tosin Eniolorunda's TeamApt Secures $5.5 Million Series A Funding
TeamApt raises an undisclosed Series B to expand its financial services beyond Nigeria
Tomiwa Onaleye
Nigerian Fintech startup, TeamApt, has successfully raised an undisclosed amount in its Series B funding round.
Although the exact amount raised wasn't revealed, sources close to the organization claims that it's way higher than $20m but less than $100 million.
The funding round was led by Novastar Ventures with participation from FMO, Global Ventures, CDC, Oui Capital, Kepple Africa Ventures, Soma Capital, and a syndicate of local angel investors including Gbenga Oyebode.
The company's previous funding was a $5.5 million Series A round led by Quantum Capital Partners in 2019.
According to the fintech, this new influx of funds will be used to extend its offerings directly to customers and micro-SMEs by giving them access to the financial access lifelines they need to succeed. It also plans to expand its solutions beyond Nigeria.
Speaking on the investment, Noor Sweid, Founder and General Partner of Global Ventures expressed excitement at supporting the company's ambitious expansion plans focused on driving value across the financial services chain.
"It is with great enthusiasm that we are partnering with TeamApt on their mission to bank the unbanked and underbanked across Africa. Tosin and the team's mission-driven and product focused approach has translated into the development of an optimized POS and one of the largest agent networks in Nigeria in a relatively short span of time. We are excited to back TeamApt, alongside this consortium of investors, to support the company on its ambitious expansion plans focused on driving value across the financial services chain."
Noor Sweid, Founder and General Partner of Global Ventures
Banking the unbanked in Africa
Founded in 2015 by several breakout employees of Interswitch, TeamApt initially started by building digital banking solutions for banks. In 2019, the company pivoted into providing financial services for the underserved mass market in Africa.
According to the company, Over 50% of Nigeria's 99 million adult population are financially underserved, comprising 36 million unbanked 14.5 million underbanked people.
With its financial product available in Nigeria's 36 states, TeamApt is tackling this exclusion profitably with its hybrid solution.
TeamApt is bridging the gap through a current distribution network of over 100,000 agents and reliable technology-enabled payment solutions.
In less than two years, TeamApt rapidly scaled its agent banking product, Moniepoint, to serve about 29 million previously-underserved individuals who had limited access to financial services.
Through its flagship products, Moniepoint and payment gateway Monnify – TeamApt revealed that it has processed a total of $17.5 billion worth of transactions in the past 12 months.
It also reported a 1,081% increase from the previous year, with an average of 68 million transactions performed on its platform every month.
With the new influx of funds, the company plans to further leverage its agent network to provide wider financial services to the underserved consumers and businesses in Nigeria.
Expanding beyond Nigeria
After its immense impact in Nigeria, TeamApt is now setting its sights on other markets around Africa.
According to Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of TeamApt, Tosin Eniolorunda, the funding will allow the company to extend its solutions to other parts of Africa.
"This fundraise is happening at a significant time in our growth as a company. In the past years, we have exceeded several strategic milestones without external funding, helping accelerate the Central Bank of Nigeria's target of 95% financial inclusion by 2024, but as the hurdles of financial access are not unique to Nigeria, this funding allows us to extend our solutions to other parts of Africa".
During the company's media session in June, Eniolorunda revealed that TeamApt is already on the ground in the 3rd largest francophone Africa economy setting up similar operations.
He also added that they are looking at countries like Cameroun, Uganda, Congo, Guinea, Ivory Coast, South Africa, Kenya, Ghana and Tanzania

A young nurse who was killed in a road crash in Co Antrim last week has been described as a "bubbly, welcoming" person who "got on well with everyone".
Nichola Baird was killed in a one-vehicle crash on Finvoy Road, Ballymoney last Thursday.
Hundreds of mourners gathered on Monday to pay their respects as Ms Baird, who was in her early 30s, was laid to rest in her home village of Finvoy.
Finvoy Presbyterian Minister Rev Roy Gaston, who conducted the funeral, said the large turnout was "a testament to how well-liked Nichola was".
He told the News Letter that Ms Baird, a former Ballymoney High School pupil who worked as a staff nurse at Ratheane Private Nursing Home in Coleraine, was "a real people person".
"She was a very popular young lady and got on well with everyone," Rev Gaston added.
In the wake of Ms Baird's tragic death, North Antrim DUP MLA Mervyn Storey extended his condolences to the Baird family, who he said were well known and well respected in the Finvoy area.
He added: "My eldest son plays in Ballymaconnelly Flute Band with Nichola's brother. This is a real tragedy which has shocked the local community. A young woman's life has been cut short in tragic circumstances.
Ms Baird is survived by her parents Robin and Thelma and her brother Stuart.
