Taylor Swift is teasing something and fans think it involves her old music
"Not a lot going on at the moment."
After letting the world know that she's begun re-recording all of her old music, Taylor popped onto social media on Sunday, November 22 to tease fans even more. "Not a lot going on at the moment," she wrote on Twitter and Instagram alongside a black-and-white photo where she's posing on the couch in comfy clothes, a bored expression on her face.
If her caption sounds a little familiar, it's because she's said it before. Fans were quick to recall the last time she told her followers that she didn't have "a lot going on" — it was back in April, when she shared a selfie with the same exact words. At the time, it seemed pretty innocuous and fairly relatable; after all, it was just a few weeks after the Coronavirus pandemic hit and much of the country had been under lockdown. But in retrospect, the post is a humorous "gotcha!" because, as we know now, Taylor had been working on folklore during that time. Taylor's version of "not a lot going on" seems to translate to actually quite a bit going on, including being hard at work on something magical for her fans, so her recent post certainly sent Swifties into an excited frenzy.
As for what Taylor is working on, fans have some ideas there too. Some people have pointed out that Taylor wears a «Not a lot going on at the moment» shirt in the 22 music video (and, ahem, today is the 22nd of November — her mind!) while others think she could be working on an Exile music video, as she previously talked about Bon Iver having "a thing" with the number 22. The possibilities are truly endless, honestly.
And these aren't the only theories Swifties have cooked up lately. Given that Taylor has acknowledged she's been re-recording her old songs, some fans have begun to suspect that she's currently hard at work on revisiting her iconic album Red — and her recent hairstyle might be the clue to put it all together.
The 'cardigan' singer recently showed off long, straight hair with whimsical bangs, and the vibe is very reminiscent of her 2012 look. As one fan put it: "This is Taylor Swift re-recording RED, and you can't convince me otherwise."
With that theory comes a whole slew of questions. After all, Taylor previously hinted that the updated versions of her old songs will include "plenty of surprises," but what does that mean? New lyrics? Revamped bridges? The legendary 10-minute version of "All Too Well?!" TBH I'm not sure I could emotionally handle that, but I'm willing to try.
One thing is for sure: Taylor Alison Swift definitely has a lot going on at the moment, and fans are here for it, every step of the way.

I know the other day I talked about making kitchen towels but I wanted to give you a better idea of how easy they are to make and show you that fabric can make a linen towel special.
One of my ideas is to make the linen/cotton towels, wrap them in homemade bread and give them to friends/neighbors for gifts. I do make bread about once a week and doesn't everyone like fresh bread?
With just plain tan linen, this strip of fabric, and rick rack placed somewhere on the towel makes it special. If you look to the right you can see I bound the towel just like a quilt. And I used left over binding from a past project. Some of the towels have patchwork binding.
This one has 2 rows of rick rack with vintage fabric. This is a special towel because the fabric is special.
I got this idea from my friend (no blog) Flora. (I keep telling her she needs a blog - she is a fabulous quilter! You'd all learn so much from her. Come on Flora, get with it!). She used the Farmer's Market fabric to make a flower by fussing cutting it and I used that idea to make an apple. I machine stitched the apple with a blanket stitch and added a sketch stitched stem and a leaf that was also blanket stitched. I used a fabric stripe underneath to add extra color.
Printed linen is even easier than plain - just cut and bind. As I said before I pressed the binding really well folding it over so I could machine stitch in the ditch and finish the edge quickly.
More of the same. This fabric is one of my favorites. I think anyone would love an extra kitchen towel as a gift.
I talked before about saving dryer sheets to use with machine applique. I didn't take a picture before I tore the dryer sheet off the back but you can tell it doesn't show at all where the dryer sheet used to be. This photo from a past project shows you how to just place the dryer sheet on the back , stitch and remove - tearing it off. Simple.
Okay well share with me some of your gift ideas! I've been going through my books and magazines and I have some ideas but I'd like to see what you are doing. I like things that are fairly fast to make, of course.
I love the dishtowels...such a great idea! Did you still miter the corners even though your are using the "stitch in the ditch" method for the binding?
wonderful Idea, I usually get Christmas plates at 75 or 90 persent off to pass cookies to the neighbors but this year I think I'll wrap them in kitchen towels. Thank you.
Those are super cute. I'm going to sound like an ignoramous here (let alone not knowing how to spell ignoramous) is linen absorbent? I love dish towels and can't get enough of them. I've never thought of linen before.
And speaking of gifts.... :) I've got gift ideas every day this week and next week.
The towels are really cute. What a great idea.
my mom's birthday is coming up...she actually asked for dishtowels. i'm going to do this for her.
Thanks for the great idea's.. I love making dish towels for gifts but never used fabric like you did for the trim.
What a cute idea Nanette! I love cute little towels. I haven't even started to think about Christmas gifts. I think I'm going to be up late a lot this year. So sad. I need to sit down with all my books and magazines too. Thanks for sharing your fun idea.
Now those are a great idea!! I saw some really cute dish towels in Anna Maria Horners new book SEAMS TO ME....but, they look too hard! These I can do!
these towels are cute! I love the addition of the ric rac. perfect!
These are all so very very special. What wonderful gifts! You are right.. who wouldn't love a fresh baked loaf of bread wrapped in one of those? That one with the birds and houses is wonderful.. but I also love your etched ones. so original and creative.. and YOU.
So you just buy this linen in a fabric store? Or are they already towels?
What a cute idea. I just put my bread in a brown paper lunch sack with a strip of fabric tied around it. I'm going to have to try this sometime.
What a darling idea! Question: Are the towels you are using fabric or already made towels? Can I be your neighbor?
I'm joining the "wants to be your neighbour" group!!! Your tea towels are great fun and will make fabulous gifts - I love the fabrics you chose, and the addition of the rick rack and/or appliques is a perfect touch!
I wish I lived next to you so I could get some of that great bread and fun towels!!
I'm new to the whole quilting thing so here's a stupid question for you...why do you use a dryer sheet?
Thank you for sharing those. I just made some last night but I mostly applique. It is so nice to see them in a different way.
The towels are a great idea. Yes, everyone love homemade bread. Such a great gift idea.
What a terrific idea, thanks so much Nanette. I'm always looking for ideas that don't weigh too much (for postage overseas).
What a perfectly wonderful idea! I've been making pillowcases lately - they're always appreciated and so easy to do. Not as imaginative as your idea, though. Thanks for sharing! Oh, and I'm in LOVE with the wiener dog fabric - it is soooo cute!
Everybody likes getting dish towels. These are definitely going on my list of gifts to make! Thanks for the great inspiration.
I absolutely love the daschsund fabric - wherever did you find it? Since I still work full-time, I don't have a lot of time for homemade gifts (that will be next year!)...but thanks Nanette for this idea - I can definitely fit in some towels this year! Cheers!
Well I'd like to move into your neighborhood in the hope of receiving a fresh loaf of homemade bread in a super cute tea towel. Aren't you nice!
What a great idea! I wish Flora would do a blog.. wouldn't that be a fun one to read! Thanks for sharing!
I can't wait for my cottages!!!
I love the way you've done the binding on them. So special!
thanks for more ideas on this. i have a thing for dishtowels. that's a tall order you threw out there. most of my best ideas come at the last minute. & almost have to be wrapped up quickly w/o even a pic.
Hi Nanette, thank-you so much for this great idea! I love how your towels came out, simple but very pretty. I have been procrastinating on starting any gifts, been preoccupied with photoshop me thinks. I need to get off my bum. Thanks for the inspiration!
Great post! Thanks so much for the inspiration!

Brett Favre Rams: Did The Rams Turn To Favre?
Brett Favre was approached by the St. Louis Rams to fill in at quarterback, although he seems to have denied the offer already. The Rams are searching for any sort of help that they can get.
After struggling with Sam Bradford at quarterback, and now losing him to a season-ending injury, it is hard to know where to go from here.
Some people were talking about the idea of bringing on Tim Tebow, but they decided to give Favre a call instead.
He showed no signs of wanting to return to the league this time and simply said "It's flattering, but you know there's no way I'm going to do that."
Brett Favre,Tony Dungy,Jon Gruden all know this, "You never leave the air-conditioned room of retirement for the heat of battle." #Wileyism
— Marcellus Wiley (@marcelluswiley) October 24, 2013
Favre made a habit of wavering and being indecisive about whether to retire in his later years as a player, but he seems to be officially done at this point. Favre has not played a game since 2010, and it does not look like that will be changing any time soon. Favre admitted that it was a flattering offer, but that he is simply too old to get back on the field, and will be sticking to retirement this time.
The Rams called 44 year old Brett Favre to see if he would like to come out of retirement. Sorry Vince & Tebow… pic.twitter.com/1N33VQd3Cw
— SportsNation (@SportsNation) October 24, 2013
With all of the struggling and injuries happening with quarterbacks, Favre is not the only one who has ended up in this situation. In a bit of an opposite sort of situation, Jeff Garcia recently approached the Cleveland hopes of joining the team, although they did not want him, and that deal fell through as well.
Brett Favre declined joining the Rams because he actually has better WRs in the Wranglers ad. #GotHeem

After hearing a "no thanks" from Brett Favre, The St. Louis Rams are now reaching out to Jaimie Foxx. #WillieBeaman #AnyGivenSunday
— Frank Caliendo (@FrankCaliendo) October 24, 2013
Sam Bradford went down with his injury in their game on Sunday night against the Carolina Panthers, in a 30-15 loss. With Favre out of consideration, the Rams have signed Brady Quinn, who previously played with the Cleveland Browns, and was released from the Jets earlier this week.
Austin Davis is also returning, while they plan to start Kellen Clemsn in their game on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. With all of the troubles that the Rams have had at quarterback it is hard to know what is next for them
What do you think? Who should be the new quarterback for the Rams? Respond below.
After declining the offer from the Rams, Brett Favre will continue to go on living his calm life of retirement.

Anthony Davis compares Cavaliers rookie Evan Mobley to his younger self: 'He's going to keep getting better'
admin	October 31, 2021 0 Views
Very few big men enter the NBA with as much promise as Anthony Davis, but in his first six games as a professional, Evan Mobley has actually exceeded the rookie version of Davis statistically. He is averaging more points (15.3 to 13.5), assists (2.3 to 1) and steals (1.3 to 1.2) on a higher field goal percentage (53 percent to 51.6) than Davis did in his first season in New Orleans, and on Friday, the two met on an NBA floor for the first time.
Davis won the game as his Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers, 113-101, but Mobley again won out statistically. He scored 23 points to Davis' 15 and did so on a very impressive 10-of-16 shooting from the field. Mobley's front-court mate, Jarrett Allen, had a minus-23 plus-minus in the game. Mobley was a neutral zero. Davis is the seasoned veteran, and as he plays for an immediate championship contender, he entered the game with a major advantage, but Mobley more than held his own, and Davis blessed the performance with comparisons to his own younger self following the victory.

"This is my first time seeing him play, to be honest. He's probably the same size I was coming into the league," Davis told reporters. "Pretty skinny. Elite shot-blocker. Lob threat. Kind of has some of the same things I had when I was coming into the league. But probably shot it a little bit better than me.
"His game is going to progress," Davis continued. "He's going to keep getting better and better. You see the potential to be a three-level scorer, watching film on him a little before the game. I seen him shoot the 3. He hit one tonight. I seen him hit the midrange and floaters. He'd go to the post a lot in the game I've watched. He has the potential to be very good. It takes time. But I don't really compare myself to anybody."
Davis wasn't the only Lakers star to gush over Mobley. Former Cavalier LeBron James was smitten as well, saying that Mobley is going to be a "damn good basketball player in this league." Such praise is well deserved. Big men rarely jump into the league at such a high level. Mobley isn't just putting up numbers. He's been perhaps the best overall player on a surprisingly competitive Cavaliers team. Centers typically take years to understand the finer points of playing defense in the NBA. Mobley hasn't even been in the NBA for two weeks and he already looks like a future Defensive Player of the Year.
Comparisons to Davis, in general, are rare. He was a preordained No. 1 overall pick, a freak of nature whose seven-inch growth spurt in a single year of high school basketball created a player with the ball skills and basketball IQ of a guard but the physicality and size of a big man. It took some incredibly unique circumstances to create the first version of Davis. Now, it seems as though a second one might be developing. Mobley has a long way to go before he reaches Davis' level, but if Davis himself is to be believed, Mobley is certainly on the right track.

With LLZO, a garnet ceramic material, batteries could last a lot longer
Researchers have stabilized higher-density lithium-air batteries with new material
Researchers have taken a step forward in developing batteries that can store 10 times more energy than existing lithium-ion batteries.
The scientists have been experimenting with a "garnet ceramic" material called LLZO that could hasten the release of batteries based on lithium-air chemistry. Lithium-air batteries have been in development for decades but are considered unstable for practical use.
LLZO could lead to batteries that are safer, denser and more longer-lasting than lithium ion. Researchers tested its properties using electron microscopy at the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).
Conventional lithium-ion batteries have reached their limits and a new chemistry is needed to advance the state of the art, said Cheng Ma, a post-doctoral associate researcher at ORNL.
"You have to adopt something radically different, and that's the lithium-air battery," Ma said.
Lithium-air batteries are more practical for use in cars and power grids and less so in laptops and mobile devices, because of the chemistry and density levels, Ma said.
LLZO effectively stabilizes the lithium-air battery -- itself is a proof-of-concept technology -- and moves it closer to practical use. Researchers haven't tested LLZO with actual batteries yet, but applied researchers can now take the research and put it to work, Ma said.
The research was published in the Angewandte Chemie journal.
Lithium-ion batteries have electrodes -- a positive cathode and a negative anode -- with electrolytes in between that allow charged lithium ions to move around. During a charge, lithium ions move from the cathode to the anode for storage. The reverse happens during a discharge, with the lithium ions moving from anode to cathode and out to the device using the battery.
Lithium-air batteries are different in that they use an aqueous electrolyte and lithium anode, That provides greater energy density, but the current materials aren't stable, making lithium-air batteries im practical. But LLZO acts as a separator and keeps the battery stable, especially during discharge.
LLZO could be better than any commercial electrolyte for lithium-air batteries, Ma said. It also gives options for scientists to chase new ideas in lithium-air battery designs.
"It gives an option to realize the stable operation of lithium air battery," Ma said.


Last year, I decided that I wanted to do a road trip with my dad. I haven't purposely gone on a road trip with him since I was a kid. I figured that my trip to North Dakota would be the perfect time to take that father/daughter trip and document it for the blog. Then the houseful of littles decided they wanted to join us, and it became a multi generational trip. The purpose of the trip was to ultimately get to Theodore Roosevelt National Park, and get his first National Park under his belt. Theodore Roosevelt National Park lies in western North Dakota, Medora to be exact, where the Great Plains meet the rugged Badlands. A habitat for bison, elk and prairie dogs, the sprawling park has 3 sections linked by the Little Missouri River. The park is known for the South Unit's colorful Painted Canyon and the Maltese Cross Cabin, where President Roosevelt once lived. The Scenic Loop Drive winds past several overlooks and trails.
We did that and more. We actually toured the entire state (literally driving the square of it) in one week. It was magnificent and started the #TrippingWithMyDad movement. The last time we did a road trip of this magnitude, I was in fourth grade (I think) didn't have a cell phone, and definitely couldn't share our shenanigans on social.
Anyway, like I said, the purpose was to go to Theodore Roosevelt National Park and we did. In case you're trying to figure out where my dad is, he was busy in the car giving me photo shooting direction. My love of travel isn't the only thing I get from my father. He was a shutterbug too. Our remember the days of Minolta and Olympus cameras.
I chose to use the day that we had at Theodore Roosevelt National Park as a homeschooling day, and just a nature day in general. I mean, when you're met with the scenes, and opportunities that they park provides, you really can't help it. Upon coming into the park entrance, you're met with the cabin of Theodore Roosevelt, and it's such a quaint space. I always marvel how tough ANYONE who lived back then was. The rooms were simple, and the furniture in it was the same. Roosevelt even had a pair of house shoes neatly placed beside his bed.
The kids REALLY loved the park because they saw so many of the animals that they've seen on Wild Kratts! They loved being able to tell their Poppy (that's my dad if you haven't figured yet) all about each of the animals we encountered. Their favorites were the prairie dogs and the "Yips" they let out in alert to oncoming cars or predators. There were so many of those prairie dogs, and they were so many different variants in colors that I was impressed.
Their favorites by far were the bison that we saw. It took us a bit of time to find a herd of them. Through the winding roads of the park, we would always see one lone bison, casually grazing, and then BAM! We drove up on a large herd with a couple of calves intermingled. They are beasts of a magnificent size, and I'm pretty certain that they could have overturned the car that we were in. We stayed a safe distance away while carefully attempting to take photos. Unfortunately, my zoom lens decided to hate me, so we got wider angles than I was wanting.
There were a couple of plateaus that we stopped on so that we could really take in the vastness of the park. I mean, there was land for days, and a part of me is happy that I could be the kid that went with my dad to his first national park. We have several more on our list.
Being out in nature was amazing. It was therapeutic. It was spiritual in a way. It was also cold! You'll remember that we were there in November, and at the brink of a HUGE snowstorm that came into that area. So, if that's your thing, go for it. If not, you can definitely head that way during the warmer months to see more green, and more active animals, which we plan on doing this year. So, YAY for another trip to Theodore Roosevelt National Park and for GREEN pastures and all of that jazz!
Have you visited a national park before? If so, let me know which one, and tell me why you loved it!
What a great national park!. We love traveling too and national parks are a particular favorite. There's just something to be said for a road trip to a national park, isn't there?
Our county park has preserved building like that. Cool to see how people lived just over 100 years ago!
What a fun family trip and to a great national treasure. I'm hitting the road with my dad in a couple months for a well deserved vacation for both of us. We've never been on a cross country road trip together so this is going to be a fun experience.
What pretty photos! This was a great read. I recently visited the Everglades National Park. It was literally just grass and mosquitos soooo I don't know that I'll go back lol. Thanks for the post!
Can I just have that cabin to myself for a while? lol! The pictures are beautiful. Such a beautiful national park, hope i get to visit someday. Great post Natasha!
This place looks soooo interesting. I would love to visit it to see all the animals.
Wow – suc a lovely idea to go roadtriping with your daddy. I love to do that. Sound like you guys had so much fun in the great outdoors!
Awww a multi generational trip sounds like such a cute idea! I don't have kids yet, but I would love to do that one day. Your photos are aeesome, its good to be enjoying the great outdoors!
It sounds like such a wonderful and sentimental trip with your family. I can't believe he has only seen one of the many beautiful national parks across the US! Thanks for sharing these beautiful photographs and memories.
I completely forgot that this park exists, which is a shame. It looks beautiful and I particularly enjoy the photo of the bison. So sweet that you were able to enjoy this with kids and your dad.
So much history there! It looks like a great way to spend the day. I like what you say about being out in nature – it does give you a spiritual sense!


Buyers of detached homes paid more than ever in 2014 for the privilege of owning their own house on their own parcel of land unencumbered by any strata designation. With increases of 8.9%, 5.6% and 15.8% in benchmark, median and average prices respectively, detached houses continue to reward their owners with exceptional returns on their investment.
Meanwhile the attached market, consisting of town homes and condos, continues to experience modest price gains if any.
This trend is very likely to continue as the supply of development land dries up for developers. In Greater Vancouver, almost all new product is in the form of townhouses or apartments at the expense of older detached homes that may have once occupied the land. The same thing is happening in our neck of the woods with more emphasis on high density housing. Simply put, the supply of detached homes is bound to decrease, if it hasn't already, while the supply of attached homes will continue to increase.
According to a report by Urban Futures, an additional 497,320 housing units will need to be built to accommodate Greater Vancouver's growing population over the next 28 years. It is easy to predict that with the increased demand for housing there is very little to stand in the way of a continued pattern of rising prices for all categories of homes, most especially detached.
All in all, we could describe 2014 as a solid year for the real estate market, not a hot one, but overall a steady and consistent market. Most prognosticators are forecasting more of the same for 2015, barring an unusually high spike in interest rates. If an increase in rates becomes a reality, then look for an extremely hot market in the months preceding the increase as buyers scramble to take advantage of our current historically low rates. Such a situation would certainly boost prices in the short term for all categories of real estate but long term detached homeowners should continue to benefit the most.

The Murder of Halland
The Daughters of Mars
Author: Tom Keneally
In the tradition of Atonement and Birdsong, the Durance sisters leave Australia to nurse on the front during WWI and discover a world beyond their imaginings.
Naomi and Sally Durance are daughters of a dairy farmer from the Macleay Valley. Bound together in complicity by what they consider a crime, when the Great War begins in 1914 they hope to submerge their guilt by leaving for Europe to nurse the tides of young wounded.
They head for the Dardanelles on the hospital ship Archimedes. Their education in medicine, valour and human degradation continues on the Greek island of Lemnos, then on the Western Front. Here, new outrages – gas, shell-shock – present themselves.
Naomi encounters the wonderful, eccentric Lady Tarlton, who is founding a voluntary hospital near Boulogne; Sally serves in a casualty clearing station close to the front. They meet the men with whom they would wish to spend the rest of their lives.
Inspired by the journals of Australian nurses who gave their all to the Great War effort and the men they nursed. The Daughters Of Mars is vast in scope yet extraordinarily intimate. A stunning tour de force to join the best First World War literature, and one that casts a penetrating light on the lives of obscure but strong women caught in the great mill of history.
Thomas Keneally won the Booker Prize in 1982 with Schindler's Ark, later made into the Academy Award-winning film Schindler's List by Steven Spielberg. His non-fiction, includes the memoir Searching For Schindler and Three Famines, an LA Times Book of the Year, and the histories The Commonwealth Of Thieves, The Great Shame and American Scoundrel. His fiction, includes The Daughters Of Mars, The Widow And Her Hero (shortlisted for the Prime Minister's Literary Award), An Angel In Australia and Bettany's Book. His novels The Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith, Gossip from the Forest, and Confederates were all shortlisted for the Booker Prize, while Bring Larks and Heroes and Three Cheers For The Paraclete won the Miles Franklin Award. The People's Train was longlisted for the Miles Franklin Award and shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writers Prize, South East Asia division
A triumphant novel about sibling rivalry, pain, guilt, self-esteem and the horrors of nursing the casualties of conflict.

May might be winding down, but it's still Mental Health Awareness month! I can guarantee you know at least one person with mental health struggles.
Let's love our fellow humans!
unsettling? it's okay to feel that way.
because someone hears them. sometimes even interacts with them. learns to cope to drown them out.
but do you even know how you will act next?
possibility of reckless behavior, of strange decisions, of self harm, of suicide.
and know not everyone is going to harm themselves. know that if someone might…they need help.


A bit of Info and tips on grounding and earthing.
Different people have different interpretations and understandings of grounding. For some it is techniques to become more conscious and aware in the NOW, and for others it goes deeper and literally means to consciously connect to healthy (divine) Earth energies (or Chi)too.
To just visualize, imagine, pray or ask for two beams of Light, coming up from deep in the Earth, and connecting to your heels. Once you have visualized the connection, it will be established, and once you are connected, the Earth energies will pull out negative and stale energies, and give you fresh energies up! Well, it is nice to (at least once) ask the Earth energies for this help, but not 100% essential.
I find it very important to stay connected to healthy, divine Earth energies, to be 'grounded' as much and best as possible. Grounding seems to be one of the main tools of our energy bodies to get rid of negative and stale energies, as well as recharge - so it is good to have that connection! As empaths we do not just have to get rid of our own negative and stale energies, but also those that we get form others. Grounding is kind of a lightning rod to get rid of such energies ASAP. And sure, if I get big, heavy chunks of energy, it might take a while to ground everything, so patience is still a virtue.
As just mentioned, it is a way to get rid of negative and stale energies. We can get rid of such energies in a safe manner, i.e. the Earth is big and powerful enough to then transmute our crap energies and send them on to somewhere, where they can be appropriately dealt with.
In turn we get fresh energies, but it also feels like I am more centred when I am well grounded, calmer and it is less likely that I get pulled into emotions. I.e. it is easier to stay somewhat disconnected to the emotional drama of life around myself.
Another comforting facet of grounding or me is, that I know where Earth is. It is always there under my feet. Whereas I have not real clue where the e.g. angels live, I can always accurately visualize a connection to Earth.
Oh, and some people do not feel their connection to Earth straight away, when using grounding exercises, but usually it should become palpable with a bit of practice. When my grounding is strong, especially during healing work, it can feel a bit like my feet are being sucked to the floor.
Earthing is the physical side of grounding. I.e. when we e.g. walk barefoot on the ground, lie on the lawn, we are directly in contact with the Earth/ Ground. It is supposedly scientifically proven now, that this connection can have positive health benefit. We receive free electrons form the Earth, which are antioxidative, and our bodies come closer to being at zero Volt charge. I.e. with electrical equipment, outlets, Wifi, etc. around, if we measure our body voltage, it is usually not zero anymore, as it was before we were surrounded by artificial EM frequencies. There is some descriptive videos on YouTube about people measuring their body-voltage, connecting some earthing device, and their body-voltage goes down quickly…. With modern living, rubber soles on our shoes, isolating building materials, etc we are often not naturally grounded anymore. Many people also do not have the time to walk barefoot outside daily, it might be winter, they live in a mostly asphalted city, have no garden, etc.
We can still relatively easily create artificial ways to earth ourselves though. There is ready made earthing mats one can buy and. put under ones wrist at ones desk, under ones feet (at ones desk), under ones feet in ones bed, etc. Or again there is videos on YouTube showing DIY ways of e.g. earthing ones bed, with e.g. taping some window screen on ones mattress, or metal tape. These devices then get connected with a wire to 'earth' of an electrical wall outlet, or if one has a house, with garden, they can be connected with a wire to a metal rod into the ground outside (not sure how lightening safe this method is?).


Eat'n Park will close five restaurants in Northeast Ohio next month, including locations in Cuyahoga Falls and Medina Township.
The closings, set for Feb. 17, will leave the Akron area without an Eat'n Park.
Eat'n Park Hospitality Group, headquartered in Homestead, Pa., said in a news release that while it is closing the five restaurants, it is expanding its new Hello Bistro "salad and burger concept" in Northeast Ohio, with a location planned for Summit Mall in Fairlawn.
Information on when this eatery will open was not immediately available.
The Cuyahoga Falls Eat'n Park is at 200 Howe Ave., near the Akron line. The Medina Township location is at 1007 N. Court St.
Affected employees can opt to transfer to another Eat'n Park Hospitality Group location or receive severance, according to the news release. No financial details were provided.
The closings will affect about 200 employees, the company's Kevin O'Connell told the Pittsburgh-Post Gazette for an article published Wednesday.
The company revealed the closings in an news release issued Wednesday to that newspaper. Other news outlets received the release Thursday.
A Hello Bistro recently opened in a location adjacent to Beachwood Place Mall. Eat'n Park restaurants in Austintown, Warren, Steubenville and St. Clairsville will remain open.

Engineers Create "Artificial Leaf" That Turns Carbon into Fuel
Arnold Lander posted on November 20, 2019 |
University of Waterloo Professor Yimin Wu. (Image courtesy of Brian Caldwell, University of Waterloo.)
Scientists at the University of Waterloo have discovered an inexpensive way to convert CO2 into a useful alternative fuel. Engineering Professor Yimin Wu describes the new technology as an artificial leaf because of the way it mimics photosynthesis. A leaf produces glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water. The University of Waterloo leaf produces methanol and oxygen.
The driver of the process is a red powder called cuprous oxide, which is a principal oxide of copper with the formula Cu2O. The powder can be produced by combining glucose, copper acetate, sodium hydroxide, and sodium dodecyl sulfate with heated water.
An hour-long chemical reaction produces the red powder that is a critical component of the artificial leaf. (Image courtesy of Waterloo News.)
The powder is mixed with water, and a beam of white light is directed at the solution. When CO2 gas is blown into the mixture, the powder acts as a catalyst. The resulting reaction produces oxygen and methanol, which is collected as it evaporates when the solution is heated.
Methanol is a naturally occurring organic molecule that is readily biodegradable. It does not accumulate in the cells of plants or animals. When methanol is released into the air, it will quickly break down into other nonhazardous chemicals, and it dissolves completely when it is added to water.
Methanol is gaining popularity worldwide as a clean-burning alternative fuel source. It can be blended with gasoline in low amounts and used in existing vehicles or in higher proportions to be used in flex-fuel or methanol dedicated vehicles.
The next steps in the research process include increasing the methanol yield and commercializing the patented process to convert the carbon dioxide collected from significant greenhouse gas sources such as power plants, vehicles, and oil drilling.
"I'm extremely excited about the potential of this discovery to change the game," said Wu, a professor of mechanical and mechatronics engineering, and a member of the Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology. "Climate change is an urgent problem, and we can help reduce CO2 emissions while also creating an alternative fuel."

Q: Meaning of 'all yea' in the context What does this phrase mean? I saw this phrase in the movie The Post, 01:44:13. (But i'm not sure if the spelling of the subtitle is correct.) Here is the context.

All rise.
The Honorable the Chief Justice and the Associate Justices of the
  Supreme Court of the United States.
All yea, all yea, all yea.

A: The spelling is probably wrong and should be either:

Oyez, Oyez, Oyez.

or

Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye.

Both mean approximately the same thing, i.e. "let everyone pay attention to this formal proclamation". 'Oyez' is extremely old language, and very formal, and I would expect to hear it in Britain either in very formal circumstances or hundreds of years ago. I believe it is still used in British courts. But it is possible that the US Supreme Court still uses such language, or did in the seventies when the movie was set.

>This has been a family secret since 1973. Since it's way too effing cold to grill outside, and not the smartest idea to grill inside the house or garage, I made these for my wife and I last night and decided to write it down and share with others.
If you're a T-bone steak lover like me, you'll appreciate the magic that is about to happen. In fact, you'll love it so much, I'm going to put up a donation Paypal button below so you can cheerfully show your appreciation, AND not feel bad for stealing it and/or sharing it with others.
I can't stress this enough: DO NOT SKIMP on the T-bones you buy. This recipe isn't for a Wal-Mart steak! Look for the best butcher shop in your city and spend the extra bucks to get a superior, lean cut. It's just two steaks! This recipe is flawless, BUT it won't redeem a cheap piece of meat. Period.
*I must repeat this: Spend the money on quality cuts, from the best butcher shop in your city.
In a non-stick baking pan (9.5 x 13.5 x 2″ deep), line with non-stick foil. Spray lightly and evenly with non-stick spray.
In a small mixing cup, stir-in together Lemon Pepper seasoning, Garlic Powder, Celery Salt, and Cilantro leaves. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS SACRED, DO NOT ADD EXTRA SALT OR PEPPER!
Prep steaks BEFORE preheating oven.
With a table fork, poke about six set of holes into each steak, tops side only.
Rub in seasoning mix TOP SIDE ONLY, firmly and equally over both steaks. Marinating both sides is overkill, voids this recipe and will make your investment useless… and me angry.
Lightly spray a a quick burst of Crisco "Butter" non-stick spray on TOP SIDE ONLY of marinated steaks. Place steaks in baking pan, cover with one sheet of foil (DO NOT SEAL/SPLATTER GUARD) and set aside to marinate at room temp.
NOW – Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
In a separate small mixing cup or bowl, add and stir together with a fork ketchup and Worcestershire sauce until the two are one forever and let sit at room temp.
This will be your "steak dip" later.
Baking time below is for "medium" cooked steaks. Adjust baking times to suit your taste.
**If desired, cook the vegetable side dish per instructions.
After 15 minutes, remove baking pan from oven. Place the steaks on a separate plate. Don't pay attention to the blood or make any judgements. It's far from done.
Drain fat/juices from pan. Return the steaks to the pan, BUT turn them over (unseasoned side up this time) and place back in oven to bake for another 10 minutes. Cut into the middle of the steak and check to see it is cooked the way you like it.
If not, put 'em back in and bake for 2 minutes and check again. Keep in mind that steaks will continue to "cook" for a few minutes after being removed from heat source.
Once your steaks are cooked the way you like 'em, remove from oven and let sit for at least two minutes.
Serve with side vegetables and 'copyrighted' Crash "steak dip" on the side.
Enjoy and let me know how the evening turned out after dinner *wink wink*.
next time, include pics with your recipes. some of us need visuals.

Epic tribute for slain Auburn cop

Thousands of police officers from across New England joined grief-stricken friends and family members of 42-year-old Auburn cop Ronald Tarentino Jr. as they paid their last respects to the beloved father of three, who was shot and killed in the line of duty Sunday.
"He was just a wonderful, wonderful guy. Just goofy and funny and just super sweet," said Rebecca Hubbard, who graduated from Tewksbury High School alongside Tarentino. "Everybody liked him. There isn't anything bad that you could possible say about him."
As she wiped a tear from behind her sunglasses, Hubbard said his wake, which drew an army of police officers to the front door of St. Joseph Catholic Church in nearby Charlton yesterday, was a fitting salute to such a wonderful man and community member.
"This is such a tribute to him and the man that he was," she said.
The seemingly never-ending line of mourners — many of whom were uniformed police officers — stretched into the church's parking lot, which was lined with miniature American flags.
As the throng of cops marched toward the church in tight formation, the officer in front carried a black flag with a fitting emblem reading: "All gave some, some gave all."
Above the somber procession flew a giant American flag suspended by a Charlton Fire Department ladder truck.
"He was the nicest, kindest person you would ever know. … Not a mean bone in his body," said Kerry Croce, who also graduated with Tarentino and said she was "heartbroken" to learn her classmate had been killed.
"He didn't deserve to have this happen to him whatsoever," she said.
Elaine Costello, who patiently stood in line with Croce and Hubbard, sharing stories of their school days as they waited for their chance to enter the packed church, said she was still in disbelief that Tarentino won't be attending their 25th class reunion in November.
"You just always think that they are going to be around," Costello said. "It's just shocking really."
Tim Haywood, who wore a gray "Tarentino Strong" T-shirt as he waited to give his condolences to the officer's family, said Tarentino was a regular customer at his restaurant, Tiny Tim's Cafe in Rochdale.
Tarentino, he said, would often order a pulled-pork omelet and talk about his family and his Mustang, which Haywood recognized immediately when he saw it parked on the lawn outside the church.
"Ron was a great guy," Haywood said. "Always had a smile."
Tarentino, the son of a longtime Medford police officer, is survived by his wife and three sons, Ron III, Spenser and Kyle.
Leicester High School football coach Tim Griffiths brought his players — both past and present — to support the Tarentino family. Ron Tarentino played on the team while he was a student at Leicester High School.
"This is like the worst tragedy we've ever had," Griffiths said. "I know it's part of life — but it just isn't right."
A funeral Mass will be held at the same church today, followed by burial at Greenville Baptist Church Cemetery in Tarentino's hometown of Leicester.

Home > Maps > Unaccompanied minors in 2015
In 2015 more than 45000 unaccompanied minors sought asylum in the Nordic countries. This map shows the number of the unaccompanied minors on municipal level. The distribution of unaccompanied minors differs between the Nordic countries. In Sweden an agreement to receive unaccompanied minors signed by all the municipalities has resulted in them being distributed over the whole country. In Norway, Denmark and Finland unaccompanied minors are directed to accommodation centres resulting in higher concentrations in certain municipalities based on the location of these centres. Absolute numbers of unaccompanied minors arriving in the country were also substantially higher in Sweden.
The municipality that received the most unaccompanied minors during 2015 was Stockholm (around 2200) followed by Gothenburg (1700), and Malmö and Uppsala (both around 500). In Finland, the municipalities that received most unaccompanied minors were Espoo (more than 200) and Oulu (more than 150); in Denmark in was Jammerbugt, Tønder and Thisted (all around 150); and in Norway Farsund (above 100), Fauske and Bodø (under 100).
Reference dates for data: Sweden (everyone directed to a municipality during 2015); Norway and Finland (situation on March 31, 2016); and Denmark (situation on March 15, 2016).

The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has again warned that ballot-box snatchers and other perpetrators of electoral violence will be dealt with ruthlessly in the coming gubernatorial and state House of Assembly elections on Saturday.
He gave the warning at the end of the security meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday.
He announced plans to deploy extra security measures by his men in violence-prone states across the country.
The police boss told State House correspondents that his men had orders to avert the kind of violence that attended the presidential and National Assembly polls in some states a fortnight ago.
He listed Bayelsa, Rivers and a few other states that were worst hit by violence, and warned that the police would not tolerate any form of violence or malpractices on Saturday.


Join with Woodies from across Scotland in a practical session full of ideas for fun indoor group night sessions to get us through the long dark Scottish winter. This is an open event for all, members and non-members, with something for all age groups.
There will also be opportunities for all ages to contribute to future events. Scottish gathering will take place in February 2019, Summer Camp is in July 2019 and we also want to support Scottish members to take part in Common Ground 2020 – an international camp ran by Woodcraft. We need ideas, volunteers and enthusiasm to make all these things happen.
There will be a Gathering of the Smalls and a session for Venturers which will include initial planning for Vcamp 2019.
We will be walking from Falkirk High Station to the community hall. This is less than two miles through Callander Wood and we will make journey sticks on the way.
Please bring a packed lunch, waterproofs and wear sturdy shoes or wellies. For really young ones a change of clothes is always advisable. The route is fairly pushchair/wheelchair friendly although it can get muddy if it is a wet day.
The try-out activities will include a cooking skills session. Please also bring one soup or smoothie ingredient to add to the mix.
No need to book, just turn up on the day. Travel expenses can be provided.

UNITED AUTOSPORTS PREPARE FOR HOME RACE AT SILVERSTONE
Return to the scene of LMP2 and LMP3 debut victories
Team hoping for a turnaround in fortunes at home race
ELMS supporting WEC at Silverstone
United Autosports return to Silverstone this weekend for round four of the European Le Mans Series (17-18 August).
The UK based team will be hoping to repeat their 2016 and 2017 race winning efforts on home soil. In 2016, the team made their LMP3 debut, taking victory at the Northamptonshire circuit. They then went on to win on their LMP2 debut the following year, where they also, once again, won the LMP3 class.
Last time out at Red Bull Ring, Phil Hanson and Filipe Albuquerque finished third in the #22 Ligier JS P217 after a tough race for both them and their sister LMP2 car of Will Owen, Hugo de Sadeleer and Wayne Boyd (#32).
The LMP3 team also suffered terrible fortunes at the Red Bull Ring as John Falb and Sean Rayhall notched up their first DNF in the #2 Ligier JS P3 after an engine failure while in second place cut their race short. Tony Wells, Matt Bell and Garett Grist also struggled in Austria, ultimately finishing 12th in the #3 Ligier.
As in previous years, the Silverstone ELMS round is the support race to the World Endurance Championship, meaning the four-hour race will be staged on Saturday afternoon. There will be no Michelin Le Mans Cup race this weekend either. They will be back on track at Spa in September.
The Silverstone ELMS race weekend begins on Friday 17 August with Free Practice 1 at 10:35. Free Practice 2 will follow at 14:45. On Saturday 18 August, qualifying begins at 11:25 with the Four Hours of Silverstone race starting at 14:30 later that day.
Live timing for all sessions and a live stream for qualifying and the race can be found on the European Le Mans Series website – www.europeanlemansseries.com, while regular updates from the race weekend can be found on the United Autosports Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages.
Phil Hanson
"I'm really looking forward to being back on home ground at a track with so much character. I wouldn't say that I have an advantage seeing as it's my home track as I'm still as new to Silverstone as I am to the other tracks on the calendar. That said it's nice to be able to stay at home closer to the race and feel very comfortable in my surroundings entering this weekend. United Autosports have been very successful here in the past years and I hope I can contribute to their success this weekend."
"Silverstone is among my favourite tracks around the world and I have been pretty happy with the results I've achieved there as well. I won the last two races – 2016 in WEC and 2017 in ELMS with United, taking the lead on the last lap. This year ELMS is even more competitive so once again we have to do a perfect race and hopefully move two places further up the podium than the last race."
Will Owen
"It's exciting to return to Silverstone for United Autosports' home race. We have some sweet memories here as last year we had our first ELMS win at this track. Personally, and as a team, we have improved so much since then, but there is no guarantee we will be easily at the top. We will have to work very hard to maximize our car's pace to be at the top of this event. If we can do that, we will have a chance at the podium."
Hugo de Sadeleer
"Silverstone is United Autosports home track and a race we're looking forward to because of the amazing results we achieved last year, but also because everyone's friends and families come to watch so there is a great atmosphere."
Wayne Boyd
"Silverstone is one of my favourite circuits on the calendar. The fast corners, especially the Maggots and Becketts section are some of the best in the world, in an LMP2 car they will be unbelievable. It's always a good event with it being United's home circuit, so there's always lots of guests there to support us. Hopefully we can put on a good showing for them."
John Falb
"Red Bull Ring turned out to be a real bummer after very little time in the car and our first DNF in the #2. I love Silverstone with its super-fast turns and the flow the track creates. I know we will be on top of our game so a little good luck would certainly be a nice assist!"
Sean Rayhall
"I'm so excited to get back to Silverstone with our United Autosports machine. After this year's roller coaster of emotions, I think after our performance last year this will be the best place to shake off our bad luck and get our car another ELMS podium."
Tony Wells
"We had a tough outing at Red Bull Ring, but we are hoping our home race at Silverstone will turn out better for us. The team have been working hard since Austria and they won at Silverstone the last two years, so fingers crossed we can also fight to win a third in a row for them."
"I think Silverstone will be a good weekend for us. It's the home race for the team and both of my team mates. Being Canadian I'll consider this a half home race for me. Unfortunately, Austria didn't turn out how we thought it might have, it had the potential to be a Monza kind of result. We have been executing well, we just need to find a little pace. Everyone has been working hard to push for more podiums and some wins."
Matt Bell
"This year so far has been difficult. We've been struggling to find performance but we have gone well at Silverstone in the past and the team has worked incredible hard on getting to the bottom of our issues since Red Bull Ring. We are going to the Silverstone round hoping to be back where United should be. The championship challenge is still achievable at this point so we are targeting nothing but a win to keep that momentum going."
Richard Dean, Team Owner and Managing Director, United Autosports:
"Silverstone is a fantastic circuit. We won there on our LMP3 debut in 2016 and won on our LMP2 debut in 2017 so we have a good track record to keep up. It's been a difficult year so far. The competition has massively stepped up and we have been unlucky when in race-winning positions. Our aim, as always, is to win as we will do our very best to put on a good show for the home crowd."
Zak Brown, Team Owner and Chairman, United Autosports:
"We love racing at Silverstone. We've had some good races in ELMS at this circuit, winning on both our LMP3 and LMP2 debuts, so hopefully this year is no exception."
