"Wild Boy …" is a reissue of the well-known 2016 release curated by Brian Chidester, renowned researcher and biographer of Eden Ahbez. Especially for this album, Brian wrote an interesting text about Abi's life, which definitely became the decoration of the release.
With the new 2020 re-release, we went a little further and kept what is commonly referred to as studio cuts. It's a few more minutes in the studio with ahbez himself, full of emotion and life. In addition, to the delight of fans, the edition includes an additional composition Nature Boy (Mantovani Orchestra).
Especially, it is worth noting the outstanding mastering prepared from practically decomposed tapes by the Grammy-nominated Jessica Thompson, which guarantees the deepest and warmth possible sound. Jessica a huge ahbez fan and we're highly appreciated for what she has done to save his music for the future.
Eden Ahbez is definitely at the origin of psychedelic music and this release can be taken as further proof. Over the past twenty years, the iconic figure of the world's first hippie Eden ahbez has become famous primarily for his 1948 song "Nature Boy", praising universal love, and his amazingly solo album from the 1960s called "Eden's Island" – one from the first concept albums in the history of music and probably the first psychedelic music album. "Wild Boy: The Lost Songs Of Eden Ahbez" deepens understanding of the origins of the psychedelic movement in the 1950s.
The disc contains a musical selection of works by Eden ahbez himself, written by him in the period after Nature Boy. The inclusion of songs such as "Palm Springs" – Ray Anthony Orchestra and "Hey Jacques" by Erta Kitt gives the listener the chance to discover for the first time the little-known recordings of world-famous artists composed by Eden ahbez. Through "Wild Boy" and "Surfer John" you can hear the author's handling of absurd rock and exotic experimentation, as well as sweet psychedelic pop like Monterey (with Paul Horn on flute). Overall, Wild Boy: The Lost Songs Of Eden Ahbez offers an overview of the lost works of 1949-1971 with seven unpublished recordings and eight rare singles.
If in 2020 you are missing the hallucinogenic content in Eden Ahbez, it amazingly makes up for that deficiency with simple chords, expansive arrangements, and lyrics about travel, relaxation, free love, and spirituality. Thus creating the standard of psychedelic music. Eden Ahbez's songs weren't only fantasy and his personal philosophy was the real thing that he lived.
"This carefully and extensively researched compilation culls covers by top notch mainstream artists juxtaposed with unreleased Eden recordings. What might sound like a mixed bag is actually more like a chronological, musical non-fiction novel about Eden Ahbez. While Eden was writing hundreds of songs and performing live and making recordings in various styles, his songs were also being picked up by popular artists like Nat King Cole and Eartha Kitt who recorded with a more polished mainstream style. There are also some early rock n roll style recordings here. Eden's professionally recordings often end up as Novelty Pop records such as "Child of Nature" and "The Clam Man" but if you read between the lines and listen to the lyrics it is pretty eye-opening that he is singing about Eastern-religion-style and pre-hippie philosophies about being at one with the planet Earth.
All of this is explained in the lengthy liner notes inside the lp along with a few choice photos that establish Eden as a founding father of Southern California mystic/psychedelic music." – Tiki_News
"Eden Ahbez's life philosophy was summed up in the lyrics of his most famous song, "Nature Boy," a 1948 hit for Nat King Cole: the song describes a "strange enchanted boy" who wanders the world in search of truth. "The greatest thing you'll ever learn," he concludes, "is to love and be loved in return." Ahbez was a pre-cursor of California's beatniks and hippies, and an exalted icon of ex-otica via his rare 1960 album Eden's Island. Beyond "Nature Boy" and Eden's Island, though, there were nu-merous lesser-known Ahbez record-ings. Ahbez biographer Brian Chidester has been doing an exemplary job of archiving and documenting that catalog of work. The Exotic World of Eden Ahbez (reviewed in UT#38) appeared a few years ago, gathering together 14 Ahbez-related rarities" – Ugly Things

There has been a super little flurry of small drinks companies harking back to ye-good-olde days of traditional sodas, answering that need of folk really yearning for soft drinks with substance, with realness and with provenance. Square Root London are delivering this in bucket loads.
Fizzed up by Ed and Robyn in their small kitchen in Hackney back in 2012 where they began by making Ginger Beer and selling at their local farmers market in Harringay, gaining them an eager following very quickly, thirsty for more.
Each week the couple created more and more flavours, deciding it was time to bring in some extra help to deal with the demand, this is when they introduced 'Elsie' their 1920's delivery tricycle, that they converted in a mobile bar and peddling their sodas around London! After an incredibly busy summer the natural progression was to start bottling their sodas and start selling their most popular flavours through local outlets.
As demand kept growing, in late 2013 they founded the Square Root Soda Works, their very own production and bottling space, based out of a railway arch in Hackney Downs, were they have continued to grow and develop their soda range into a core range of Cola, Ginger Beer, Lemonade and Root Beer, a fantastic range of tonic waters including herbal Artemisia and Hop and an Indian Cinchona and a gorgeous selection of seasonal and ever-changing sodas, such as their current Summer range of Cucumber, Elderflower, Rhubarb and Strawberry sodas. Which all sound amazing as pure sodas, but then use them as mixers with your favourite tipple and holy moly! Life. Made.
You'll be very pleased to know that all of their sodas are made using fresh ingredients, juiced or infused by hand, and all contain around a third less sugar than your average bottle of fizzy pop! The sugars that are added are all either made from sugar beet grown on British farms, or ethically sourced, fairly traded cane sugars produced at source by farmers in Mauritius.
Priding themselves as masters of soda flavours with a devotion to the ethical production of pop, their efforts were recognised when they won the 2015 BBC Food & Farming Awards for 'Best Drinks Producer' – the first soft drinks company to ever even make it in to the final, let alone win this prestigious award!
Square Root Soda can be found at cafes and bars of good repute or you can order your own case of soda online from their online store.
If anyone, has created their own life changing cocktail using Square Root Sodas as a base, be sure to write in to let me know!

You don't have to know anything about guitars to read Guitar Adventures, you just have to have lived through the 70's or wondered what it was like.
If.... you remember the impact of New Wave/Punk and Powerpop in '76 -'77.... If it made you want to form a band and do it yourself.... If you're still in love with vintage guitars and amplifiers..... If you aimed for the 'toppermost of the poppermost' and missed.... If you fell in love for the first time in 1979, give or take a year..... If you remember those '70's Dads', with their tobacco leaf Rover 2000's.... If you had guitar lessons with a strange man.... If you're now a Mum or Dad, wondering where it all went wrong..... If any of these apply.... then this is for you! GUITAR ADVENTURES is about growing up in the '60's and '70's in Margate, then Nottingham then Oxford. It's about lusting after guitars and amplifiers, falling in love for the first time in 1979, being in Powerpop bands 'The Batteries' and 'The Stereotypes (UK)', pestering the BBC, failing, and looking back at it all now from the perspective of Dad-dom.

Q: Representability of deformation functors via SGA I'm trying to understand Böckle's proof of Theorem 2.1.1 in his notes on deformation theory.
Let's start with some motivation. Let $\Gamma$ be a profinite group (I'm thinking of an absolute Galois group), $k$ a finite field, and $\bar\rho\colon \Gamma\to \operatorname{GL}_d(k)$ a continuous, absolutely irreducible representation. Let $\mathsf{Ar}_k$ be the category of (commutative) finite local rings with residue field $k$. There is a framed deformation functor $\mathcal{X}_{\bar\rho}^\square\colon \mathsf{Ar}_k\to \mathsf{Set}$, that assigns to each $A\in \mathsf{Ar}_k$ the set of continuous representations $\rho\colon \Gamma\to \operatorname{GL}_d(A)$ such that $\rho\equiv \bar\rho\pmod{\mathfrak{m}_A}$. Let $\widehat{\mathrm{PGL}}_d(A) = \ker(\mathrm{PGL}_d(A)\to \mathrm{PGL}_d(k))$. Then $\widehat{\mathrm{PGL}}_d$ acts freely on $\mathcal{X}^\square_{\bar\rho}$.
Put $\mathcal{X}_{\bar\rho} = \mathcal{X}^\square_{\bar\rho} / \widehat{\mathrm{PGL}}_d$ (categorical quotient; you could also take quotient of flat sheaves). Böckle claims that SGA 3, VIIb Théorème 1.4 implies that $\mathcal{X}_{\bar\rho}$ is actually the presheaf quotient of $\mathcal{X}_{\bar\rho}^\square$ by $\widehat{\mathrm{PGL}}_d$. For those who don't have a copy of SGA at hand, here's what the theorem says:

Let $k$ be a pseudocompact ring and $d_0,d_1\colon X_1\rightrightarrows X$ an equivalence relation in $\mathsf{Vaf}_k$ (cf. Exp V, §2.b) such that $d_1$ is topologicaly flat.
(a) The canonical projection of $X$ onto $X/X_1$ ($=\mathrm{Coker}(d_0,d_1)$) is surjective and topologically flat, and the morphism $X_1\to X\times_{X/X_1} X$ with components $(d_0,d_1)$ is an isomorphism.
(b) If $X$ is topologically flat over $k$, then the same is true of $X/X_1$.

Here $\mathsf{Vaf}_k$ can be taken to be the category of pro-representable functors $\mathsf{Ar}_k\to \mathsf{Set}$. The problem is, (a) seems to say merely that $X\to X/X_1$ is surjective on the underlying sets of points, and that the "pointwise quotient" of $X$ by $X_1$ embeds into $X/X_1$. It's not at all clear to me how this implies what Böckle claims it does.
Just to be clear, I'm not trying to understand why the "unframed" deformation functor $\mathcal X_{\bar\rho}$ is pro-representable. I'm trying to understand how its representability follows from the general result in SGA.

A: It turns out that the only thing Böckle is using is the smoothness of $\widehat{\mathrm{PGL}}_d$. I claim that the following more general result is true.

Suppose $R\rightrightarrows X$ is an equivalence relation in $\mathsf{Vaf}$, for which one of the arrows is flat and one is smooth. Then $X/R$ (categorical or flat quotient) is the presheaf quotient.

Essentially, all we need to do is prove that $X\to X/R$ is surjective on $A$-points for all $A$. Since we're working with (formal spectra of) pro-artinian rings, this follows from the formal smoothness of $X\to X/R$. But smoothness is a (flat-)local property, so it suffices to check that
$R=X\times_{X/R} X\to X$ is smooth, but we assumed this, QED.

Noel, Daniel C. (1936–2002) – A scholar of the psychology of religion and myth (particularly Celtic and Native American), religion and the arts, and Jungian studies, Noel taught and lectured widely in the United States and overseas, most recently as professor emeritus in the Mythological Studies Program at Pacifica Graduate Institute, Carpinteria, California, and visiting professor of liberal studies in religion and culture at Vermont College, Norwich University, Montpelier, Vermont. Recognized as an authority on Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell, he is the author of Paths to the Power of Myth: Joseph Campbell and the Study of Religion (1990), and he wrote a critical response to Carlos Castaneda's fictional anthropology entitled Seeing Castaneda: Reactions to the "Don Juan" Writings (1976). Noel's neo-Jungian approach to shamanism, as exemplified in The Soul of Shamanism: Western Fantasies, Imaginal Realities (1997), proposed that neo-shamanism originates in the works of "shamanovelists" (such as Mircea Eliade and Castaneda) and "shamanthropologists" (including Michael Harner) and that, as such, shamanism is a Western construct. Noel argued that the figure of Merlin as shamanic psychopomp, activated by the power of the imagination ("imaginal"), offered a shamanism that was more suitable to Westerners than to indigenous practices or previous neo-shamanisms derived from these (e.g., the entheogen-based shamanism of Castaneda).

Q: Android - my listview is taking a few seconds to populate So I have an activity that has a list view. This list is a list of all files in a specific folder. The files are routes a user has taken. What I want is to get the first and end point and then show the address of them in the list view item.
Ive got this working, my problem is that it is taking between 3-5 seconds to populate the view after I open the activity.
So I have a custom adapter for my list view. I have made an Async Task to handle reading the GeoPoints and then turning them into addresses to be displayed. It must be here that it is taking a while. It might just be that this process takes a couple of seconds. But there are only 4 files in the folder so taking that long just seems wrong to me.
I will attach my code for all the classes I use in this. If anyone notices something wrong, or has an idea without going through the classes, please let me know. Any help is really appreciated:

Portugal is known for its diverse and delicious cuisine, which arguably, can best be enjoyed at one of the many local, hole-in-the-wall eateries in any city or town. Whether we're talking a rustic lunch counter at a pasteleria, or a mom and pop restaurant tucked away in a tiny side-alley, often called tascas, nothing beats home-style, Portuguese comfort food and drink.
But in the sea of all these small restaurants, there has always been one little place in my neighborhood in Lisbon that has never ceased to provide not only excellent, regional food but friendly, personalized service. Over the years, our adoration for it has grown to such an extent that it has become our permanent Saturday lunch spot.Restaurante Imperial do Campo de Ourique, located on Rua Correia Teles, is also known by locals as "A Tasca do João". Run by João Gomes and his family for over 25 years, João and his wife Adelaide are natives of Ponte de Barca, in the northern region of Minho and have worked in restaurants their entire lives. When they moved to Lisbon and bought the Imperial, the restaurant itself had been a neighborhood icon for more than 40 years, and so they carried on the tradition of great family food and service, which has brought customers back again and again – like ourselves! This impeccable level of quality and personal attention has allowed them to survive – nay, thrive! – through grueling economic waves, while many others have closed shop.
At first glance, one wouldn't imagine that this small little tasca would be so popular, as the exterior neither flaunts a lavish sign, nor flashy lights, just a clean pair of white double doors. But these doors are always cracked open just enough to smell the wonderful aromas floating from the kitchen, not to mention the the joyful sounds of boisterous customers throughly enjoying their meals. Upon entry, you'll encounter Adelaide who is consistently smiling while hard at work in their open kitchen, as friends and regulars of João are leisurely chatting at the bar savoring an imperial(draft beer) or copo (normally red wine softened with club soda). Stroll back to the cozy dining room, decorated with paintings of the Gomes' hometown of Ponte de Barca and other mementos collected over the years, and you'll feel like a part of the family.
This success of the tasca can mainly be attributed to the teamwork of João, who runs the restaurant, service and bar and his wife, Adelaide, the sole cook of the restaurant who prepares and cooks everything from scratch. Their son, Nuno, who grew up playing in the restaurant's basement, became João's only other server at lunch, while Nuno's sister Filipa and wife, Mia, pitch in with extra hands for dishwashing when large parties stream into the front doors. But it is João, who is there from opening to close, the grand force behind the restaurant, ensuring that everything runs smoothly and all the customers are happy. I have never met a person so passionate about their job and in the two and half years I have frequented the place, I have never seen him without a smile on his face or quickness in his step. Six days a week, the man wakes up at 4:30am to make it down to Lisbon's Mercado de Ribeira by 5:30am so as to select the freshest fish for the day's lunch menu. By 7:00am the restaurant doors are open, with João waiting to greet you with a jolly "Good Morning! How are you!" in Portuguese to his morning coffee customers or just any passersby. Learn more about Portuguese Coffee here.
The stream of customers coming in and out for coffee, or a mid-morning "pick me up", continue until lunch when Adelaide posts a simple, hand-written menu on the door, which always consists of approximately four fish and four meat selection, along with a soup of the day. And there's no need for a larger menu because any of the options are guaranteed to be both delicious and well-prepared. Just ask João, who gets giddy with excitement whenever he describes a menu item, especially when he's found an exceptional deal on Portuguese fresh fish that day. When sardines are in season, he'll be sure to let you know that "hoje, temos sardinhas muita fresquinhas e boas! Espectacular!" (today, we have very fresh, good sardines! Spectacular!) giving a tug on his ear or kissing his fingers in an expression of satisfaction so you really get the point. And it's hard not to oblige his recommendations, as his expressive and warm personality is so inviting, he could move a piece of lard if so desired! Aside from enjoying great fire-roasted sardines in the warmer months, João and Adelaide always try to offer a couple of perfectly grilled fresh fish on the menu, such asdourada (gilthead bream), robalo (sea bass) and carapaus (blue mackerel) and every so often, jaquizinhos, tiny fried mackerel served with feijão frade (black eyed peas) mixed with onions and fresh cilantro – a personal favorite.
But if you're in the mood for something heartier, try one of the many regional Portuguese dishes from in and around their northern hometown. For the bacalhau (salt-cod) fans, Adelaide's Bacalhau á moda do Minho is by far, my all-time favorite bacalhau dish, which is a filet of bacalhau sautéed in olive oil topped with caramelized onions and fried potato rondelles. The buttery smooth texture of the fish and sweetness of the caramelized onions are just melt-in-your-mouth good! If you're more of a meat person, her version of Cozido á Portuguesa is great, as well as her Chanfana, which is carne da cabra (mature goat meat) marinated in vinho verde tinto for 24 hours then stewed in more wine with garlic, onions, bay leaf, paprika and potatoes, leaving the perfectly purple meat flaking right off the bone. Enjoy it with a bottle of vinho verde tinto, from their native Ponte de Barca, (or with sardines or carapaus which João also recommends it for), and he even provides the traditional taças (small decorated bowls) that the wine is drunk from in the north. And for the true connoisseurs of verde tinto marriages, João and Adelaide offer traditional cabidela da lampreia (lamprey fish with rice cooked in its own blood) pre-ordered a couple days ahead of time as it takes a day to prepare and they have to specially order it from the north to be delivered at the restaurant. A single lamprey fish from the north (which is the best quality lamprey in Portugal) costs 100 euros, due to its limited availability from January to April, and serves up to four people. Now this dish may not seem very appetizing or anywhere near worth the price, but Adelaide has regulars who have ordered it again and again and will buy one lamprey for just two people, so it must be good! Don't forget to save room for dessert, as João highly recommends any of his wife's house-made desserts, especially the doce da casa (house dessert) made from a layer of sweetened, condensed milk and chocolate mousse, topped with whipped cream and crumbled biscuit cookie. Her arroz doce (sweet rice pudding) is equally delicious and lighter feeling than heavier versions of this dessert, as she mixes lemon zest into hers. And if you come on a day that Adelaide has made chocolate mousse, João may recommend a shot of aguardente on top of it, which although may seem strange, is actually common here in Portugal and trust me, once you mix it all up and take a bite, you'll never want to have plain chocolate mousse again! João also makes an excellent (espresso) coffee every time, for a perfect finish to your meal.
It's hard to remember anytime that I've had less than a great meal at A Tasca do João, with Adelaide's simple yet flavorful dishes and João and Nuno's friendly, caring service, always checking to make sure that you're enjoying yourself to the fullest, how can you not walk away from there smiling? I asked João what he loved most about his job and he replied, "everything!" and when this is coming from the man who admitted that he enjoys sitting and peeling a bucket of potatoes for the next day's service then you can probably be assured he's telling the truth! If you want to see Portuguese hospitality at its best then you have to plan a visit to A Tasca do João for lunch and let João and his family make you feel right at home, away from home. We need more "Tascas do João" in this world during this economic time, because they are the example of what passion can bring to your business.


The social media giant Facebook is currently trialling a second Facebook news feed which if rolled out globally could be catastrophic for businesses that rely on Facebook to reach customers.
Facebook is testing splitting the news feed into two separate feeds – one containing posts from friends and family, and the second comprised of posts from pages that you like and follow.
Businesses with Facebook business pages are already suffering a decline in organic reach due to Facebook's algorithmic change. We wrote about this last summer: "Facebook for business just got harder". A move to a separate news feed will reduce organic reach further still. The only way to guarantee visibility will be to sponsor posts or pay for adverts that will appear in the main Facebook news feed.
So far, the test is only being conducted in Sri Lanka, Bolivia, Slovakia, Serbia, Guatemala and Cambodia with no plans to roll out the change globally.
However, this latest test is a warning to businesses to not rely too heavily on this platform for their marketing. It demonstrates the control Facebook has and how quickly it can change the game.
We recommend using Facebook within a mix of other marketing activities. Where possible, direct customers to your own website which you control.

Top-five UK university joins Hedera governing council
Hedera Hashgraph has officially announced the London School of Economics and Political Science as its latest governing council member in a collective bid to promote social good.
The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) has officially joined Hedera Hashgraph's panoply of 39 global governing council members, confirming its place as the second academic institution to support the blockchain platform following University College London's admission last year.
Hedera Hashgraph is an enterprise-grade distributed ledger technology designed to support the creation of new and existing web applications in the decentralized economy.
Members of its governing consortium, which comprises established industry leaders such as Google, IBM, Boeing and Chainlink Labs, among others, pledge to support Hedera's ambitions in growing its decentralized open-source ledger network. The members fulfill this duty by setting up and maintaining nodes on the public blockchain, casting votes on critical software decisions, as well as increasing publicity for the platform's work.
The membership model is propelled by a three-year rotation system to ensure democratic principles are maintained.
Represented in this venture by its educational philanthropy arm LSE Enterprise — designed to "enable and facilitate the application of its academic expertise and intellectual resources" — the institution will focus on advancing its development in areas of blockchain and distributed ledger technology (DLT).
Having already established strong knowledge of these emerging sectors through its work with regulatory bodies and central banks, this move will further support its ambitions in transitioning academic research into real-world application.
In practice, LSE students and faculty members will be granted opportunities to attend hackathons, thought leadership seminars and research initiatives to enhance their knowledge of technologies in the sector.
Cointelegraph reached out to a senior research associate at LSE, Thamim Ahmed, for further insight into the implications of utilizing blockchain for social and sustainability initiatives. He said:
"The COVID-19 pandemic and the climate crisis demonstrate the need for examining new models and solutions in how organizations and businesses operate and collaborate sustainably in ever uncertain times. Joining Hedera's Governance Council among 21 other leading enterprises will provide research and innovation opportunities for LSE academics to be at the forefront of thought leadership in socially impactful new governance structures for Web 3.0 platforms."
From Hedera's perspective, LSE's inclusion to the governing council will provide access to a vast network of professionals and industry contacts at the cutting edge of Web 3.0 advancements.
Related: Hedera Hashgraph — Deep Look Into 10,000 Transactions Per Second Claim
Carsten Sørensen, associate professor of information systems and innovation at LSE, shared his thoughts on the partnership:

I go through different obsessive buying phases. The current obsession is with cookbooks. One of the cookbooks I recently purchased was Baked Explorations: Classic American Desserts Reinvented.
After having such success with the Sweet and Salty Brownies, I wanted to know what other fabulous recipes Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito have come up with. After flipping through the book, I chose Mom's Olive Oil Orange Bundt.
Interestingly, the cake is listed under the breakfast section, but I think this cake is sweet enough for a mid-afternoon snack or dessert. Normally I like to try recipes as they are written before fiddling around. In this case, I made a few slight adjustments. First, I didn't have any oranges to zest so I used lime zest instead. Also, I didn't know what to do with the zested limes so I thought it wouldn't hurt to add the lime juice into the batter as well (the original cake does not call for orange juice, only orange zest).
The cake came out very pleasant. I'm usually not a huge fan of citrus cakes but I liked this one just fine. The one thing that surprised me was that the texture was a little dense, like a pound cake. I expected something much lighter because the recipes requires you to separate the eggs and fold in whipped egg whites, which will usually make the cake texture spongier. I saw several olive oil cake recipes that do not require you to separate the eggs. I will have to try one of them out next time to compare the difference in texture.
This olive oil cake has a texture similar to pound cake and is nice to serve as a breakfast treat or dessert.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously spray the inside of a 10-inch Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray and flour.
With a paddle attachment, beat the egg yolks until they are pale and light; slowly pour in the sugar until it is completely incorporated. Add the yogurt and olive oil and mix until thoroughly combined. Add the lime zest, lime juice and vanilla, and mix until just incorporated.
Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients in two parts, beating after each addition until just combined (about 10 seconds). Scrape down the bowl and beat again for 5 seconds.
Pour the batter into pan and bake for 40-50 minutes until toothpick comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Just before serving, dust with confectioners sugar.
Recipe adapted from Baked Explorations: Classic American Desserts Reinvented.
Beautiful photos! Even if it turned out more dense than you expected, it's the taste that matters, right? 😉 Love the olive oil + citrus combo in this cake.
Yes, it tasted delicious. I didn't mind the dense texture- I just wasn't expecting it. I really enjoyed it though.
I would love it if you could share the recipe! I like using olive oil though I don't do it often. I don't come across many recipes that use olive oil.
I've made this twice. The first time was with limes, as the recipe calls for, but instead of powdered sugar I made a coconut glaze and then sprinkled on some toasted coconut. It was amazing! The second time I tried oranges but it wasn't quite as good (it was still really good though – the texture is beautiful). I think the tanginess of the yogurt pairs really well with the slight bitterness of the lime zest so you get more flavor. I'll stick with limes for this recipe and save the oranges for a different recipe I have that doesn't use yogurt.
I'm glad you enjoyed this. The coconut glaze sounds wonderful!


John L. Baillargeon, 72, died Friday, April 26, 2013, at his home in Jackman, Maine.
My Uncle John was born in Holeb on Nov. 7, 1940, one of seven children to Albert and Rose Aimee Baillargeon.
He was a self-made man that not only dreamed of things, he built his dreams. Starting with a hunting camp in Holeb to woodsman, a registered Maine Guide and log truck owner-operator. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, cooking and in 1974 moved from Holeb to start building his dream, which is now referred to as John's Four Season Accommodations. He enjoyed being with all the people, everyone was family and always welcome. His favorite slogan was, "We have it all," and he sure did.
He had many special friends and will be sadly missed.
John was predeceased by his parents; his brothers, Albert and Lawrence Baillargeon; and sisters Claire Healey and Jean Ulshafer. He is survived by his brother, Donald Baillargeon, and his wife, Shirley, of Dover-Foxcroft; and his sister, Rose Outley, of Las Vegas, Nev.; and many nieces, nephews, neighbors and friends.
Cremation and service arrangements are provided by Giberson Funeral Home, 18 River St., Bingham. To send a message of condolence to the family, please visit www.gibersonfuneralhome.com.


After investors were basking in the sun of an extended bull market, the perils of investing have begun to surface in today's more volatile financial landscape. With a confluence of interest rate hikes, de-risking into bonds and trade wars just to name a few, an investor facing today's market headwinds are looking for exchange-traded fund (ETF) options that incorporate built-in protection.
The vast majority of investors don't have the time to constantly monitor the markets and adjust their portfolios to account for sudden changes. In essence, if a product existed that captured the upside while protecting the downside in the convenience of an ETF wrapper, this would be ideal.
One such ETF is the ProShares S&P MidCap 400 Dividend Aristocrats ETF (BATS: REGL), which is a fund for those seeking quality dividend growers in the mid-cap categories–an often overlooked corner of the equities market.
With respect to the S&P MidCap 400 Index, Hyman cites that REGL contains holdings with income ratios that are comparatively better than the broad index. Furthermore, REGL holdings have less leverage–an important factor to consider given the systemic risks of rising corporate debt and a number of company bonds that could face downgrades from investment-grade quality.
However, those factors are just part of the selective strategy that REGL uses for inclusion in the fund. REGL invests in the high-quality companies of the S&P MidCap 400 with the longest track records of year-over-year dividend growth.
"Even before you get to any of that, just the simple rule set to be in the club (REGL)–it's a requirement to increase your dividend for 15 consecutive years," said Hyman.
That type of strict, rules-based screening allows for quality investments as investors leave the mindset of the growth-fueled momentum that was driving the stock market the last few years to a more value-oriented mindset. It ensures that only the cream of the crop in terms of dividend performance are allowed into REGL, which gives investors the much-needed peace of mind.
That peace of mind becomes more imperative as the economy delves deeper into a late market cycle. Another potential draw-down after 2018's tumultuous fourth quarter is something investors want protection from going forward.
"That's a lot of comfort if you think that the economy is getting a little bit weaker," said Hyman.
During the peak moments of volatility during the fourth quarter of 2018, REGL was able to mute the volatility better than the S&P MidCap 400.
As U.S. equities continue to rebound in the first quarter of 2019, REGL can capture any upside as evidenced by its 6.59 percent return year-to-date, which currently bests the broader index of about 4.5 percent. It's a testament that REGL can get offensive in up markets, but defensive in down markets.

Disowned by their own: The disturbing pattern about the murders of independent journalists
When stringers are attacked or killed, the struggle for justice begins with determining whether they are journalists at all.
Geeta Seshu
Last week, television journalist Akhilesh Pratap Singh was shot dead in Chhatra, Jharkhand. Barely than 24 hours later, in neighbouring Bihar, Hindustan journalist Rajdeo Ranjan was gunned down in Siwan.
The murders have exposed the faultlines in the media, not least the most basic, which is the ability to access and swiftly disseminate authentic information.
Journalists scrambled to get information on the two incidents. In the absence of independent information, political parties quickly stepped in and traded allegations on the breakdown of law and order in Bharatiya Janata Party-ruled Jharkhand and Bihar, where the Rashtriya Janata Dal is part of the coalition government.
Meanwhile, five days on, no clear motives have emerged with regard to either of the killings.
Three journalists have been murdered in India this year. On February 13, Karun Mishra, the bureau chief of newspaper Jan Sandesh was shot dead by unidentified persons in Sultanpur, Uttar Pradesh. Five days after the incident, Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav ordered a probe and police arrested five persons from the mining mafia.
Akhilesh Singh, locally known as Indradev Yadav, was a journalist with a news channel. Unidentified persons gunned him down at Dewaria in Chatra district of Jharkhand that borders Bihar and where a faction of a Maoist group called the Tritiya Prastuti Committee is active. The group, police said, indulges in extortion of money for petty contractors and local businessmen.
On Monday, police claimed a breakthrough in the case, arresting two persons. On Tuesday, a third person – Suraj Sao, the aide of BJP MLA Ganesh Ganjhu – was detained. The police said the journalist also took up civic works on contract and was killed over a dispute with members of the TMC and the MLA's aide over the levy of money to be paid in exchange for a contract awarded to him. The police have discounted the involvement of the MLA in the killing.
But less than a day later, when news came in of the murder of Rajdeo Ranjan, the BJP were quick to denounce the "Jungle Raj" in Bihar.
In March, a photograph of jailed RJD leader Mohammad Shahabuddin sharing snacks with Bihar minister Abdul Ghafoor inside Siwan jail went viral. Rajdeo Ranjan was reportedly behind the leak. According to BJP leader and former Bihar chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi, Ranjan's murder was revenge.
While police are still investigating the charge, Ranjan's wife Asha Yadav has gone on record to say that her husband was killed for a series of news reports against Shahabuddin's interests. She further claimed that Ranjan figured on Shahabuddin's "hit list", which police were privy to at least two years ago. Fellow journalists were divided on these claims, but said there was definitely more to the murder than meets the eye.
On Monday, Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar announced a Central Bureau of Investigation probe into Ranjan's death, even as the motive for his murder remains unclear.
Existing gulf
Almost every time a journalist is murdered in India – 29 since media watch website The Hoot began tracking free speech violations in 2010 – there is the involvement of politicians or local business people or the oil, timber and sand mafias, or those involved in illegal felling of forests, land grabbing, exploiting child labour, chit fund scams, or even cases of medical negligence.
By now, that's a given.
It's after the killing that a pattern quickly emerges. When journalists are attacked or killed, the struggle for justice begins with determining whether they are journalists at all, whether they died for their journalism and not owing to any "personal" dispute or business links. Before the crucial questions of who killed them and why can be asked, the case is over.
There currently exists a gulf between the journalists employed on contract in mainstream media and journalists such as Ranjan, who work independently or are associated as stringers with local or national newspapers and broadcast channels. Unprotected and unorganised, the plight of journalists in the regional media is much more precarious.
While the nexus between local politicians and business interests is hardly surprising, what is disturbing is the role of media houses in refusing to acknowledge these footsoldiers. Often, the mainstream media publications they may work for or contribute regularly to, may wash their hands of them, denying completely – even in the face of incontrovertible evidence – their employment, that they worked for them or had anything to do with them.
The dirty secret in the media is the manner in which journalists are constrained to work as advertising agents too. Often, the commissions they earn from advertising may be more than their salaries, points out senior journalist and media analyst Anil Chamadia, who worked for years in Bihar before he shifted to Delhi to set up a media watch organisation, People's Media Group.
Discredited as journalists for working as advertising agents, they occupy a grey zone in an already fractured mediascape. It becomes far easier to isolate and target them when their journalistic reports ruffle the feathers of local power centres, politicians and businessfolk. Shooting these messengers of unsavoury and unflattering information, who refuse to remain plaint and push invisible boundaries, also serves another purpose – it will silence others as well.
Those responsible also know that they can get away with it. They can easily prevail upon local police and administration to drag their feet in the investigation. Is it any wonder that demands are now routinely made for a CBI probe in almost every instance? Invariably, the poor investigation, compounded by interminable trials, end up in acquittals. In all the killings of journalists so far, there has not been a single conviction.
And the struggle to secure some justice for their killings, left to family members or colleagues, becomes a long and solitary battle.

Radical Real Estate Law School
The Radical Real Estate Law School is (1) a community of learning and practice (2) building a comprehensive library of resources and tools (3) by implementing diverse models of real estate stewardship (4) then spreading a transformative vision for humanity's relationship to land through advocacy and movement-building.
Our vision is to decommodify land and housing so that all people can exercise their right to live, work, and gather together.
The problem is that the law legitimizes the practice of treating land and housing as commodities. The dominant model of real estate ownership and speculation drives inequality, the racial wealth gap, and ecosystem destruction. The solution is to challenge the deeply entrenched legal doctrines and cultural norms that make us believe that land justice and universal housing is impossible.
We need to put land into the hands of the people. We need to acknowledge and correct the harms caused by slavery and redlining. We need to focus on ecological and community health, and we need to value the careful and affectionate stewardship of land. In other words, we need to democratize, decolonize, and decarbonize land and housing.
In 2020, the Radical Real Estate Law School assembled a team to radically change how communities access, use, and shape the law. Check out our yearbook to see what we've accomplished in our first year together.
💕 Create legal resources to transform our current relationships to land and housing and foster long-term community stewardship and stability.
📚 Build a curriculum to uproot every part of the white supremacist and exploitative system of real estate, including finance, ownership structures, land use and governance.
✊ Train activists to become lawyers without going to law school and spreading a community-driven model of legal education that subverts the debt- and trauma-inducing, white dominant culture of law school.
🤩 Provide legal support and mentorship to clients who will take your breath away and to the Law Students 4 Radical Real Estate.
What do we mean by "radical?"
📖 The word "radical" means roots. We are getting to the root of deeply entrenched problems while nourishing the roots of a beautiful future. "Radical real estate" means recognizing that democratic and participatory land management are the roots that nourish decommodified land. "Radical law" means protesting the racist/ classist/ sexist roots of our current legal system by making law and policy belong to everyone! Lawyers and non-lawyers alike deserve to access and navigate the law. And finally, "radical school" means a non-hierarchical, nurturing model that views everyone involved as both learners and teachers. People learn best through practice and interaction.
🚀 Launched in June 2020 and hired our legal apprentices Hope, Dorian, and Christine.

Did you know that if one family from each church in America chose to add to their family through one adoption, most, if not all, the orphans in the U.S. would have forever families? This is EXCITING NEWS!!! You may know that your family is not able to adopt or foster, but that is okay! God has called each of us to be different parts of the body of Christ so that ALL the needs are met. You may be the part in Orphan Care called to pray. You may be the one called to contribute financially to the costs of adoption or foster care. Or you may be called to add to your family through adoption/foster care. No matter what part God has given you to do, this months information is for you.
In James 1:27 we are told that pure and faultless religion, which God accepts, is one that looks after orphans and widows in their distress. Orphan care has a special place in the heart and ministry of Restoration Counseling. Each one of our staff is involved in some way in adoption and orphan care ministry. Some are prayer supporters of adopting/fostering families. Some are intimately involved in the lives of adoptive/foster children and their families. Others are adoptive parents or have been adopted themselves. We all have different stories of how adoption/orphan care has touched our lives and we are thankful for those blessings.
November is Adoption Awareness month. We are so excited to be talking with you about adoption this month and sharing with you ways you can become involved in Orphan/Foster Care. We will be posting 2 articles on Understanding Adoption: An Insider's View. One of the articles will be written by our staff member who is an adoptive parent. The other article will be written by our staff member who was adopted as a young child. One story involves domestic adoption and the other involves international adoption. Both staff members share a heart and passion for adoption which we know you will catch as you read the articles. We will also be posting some fun and creative ways you can easily become involved in Orphan/Foster Care both physically and prayerfully. We hope this months articles and information helps you identify the need God wants you to help meet. Our question to you is this: How are you actively portraying that "pure and faultless religion" to the orphans in your life today?

Saratogans will have an opportunity to commemorate this important Hindu festival at the second annual Diwali Mela on Nov, 10, Similar to last year's program, the 2013 Diwali event promises an evening of entertainment, food, music and dancing, The event, sponsored by the Saratoga Hindu Temple and Community Center, is also a chance for the community to come together "to share the pointe shoe brand comparison joy of the festival," according to organizer Rishi Kumar, "Last year we encouraged every Indian-American family to bring a non-Indian family with them, This year we're encouraging people to do the same."..
Popularly known as the "festival of lights," Diwali is celebrated by Hindus around the world. The holiday, which is officially on Nov. 3, is similar to Christmas, said Kumar. The day after Diwali marks the beginning of the new year for the business community in India, he said. This is the second year that the Diwali Mela (Sanskrit for "gathering" or a "fair") is being hosted in Saratoga. The 2012 event, which was more of a community potluck held at the Saratoga Community Center, drew around 250 people, Kumar said. Committee chair Kalpana Jaswa hatched the idea for the event in 2010. Organizers are expecting about 300 attendees this year, including state Sen. Jim Beall, who has been invited.
"We're trying to bring together everyone from Saratoga to come and enjoy one of the finest festivals from India," Kumar said, The evening will begin with about eight singing and dancing acts in the first hour, followed by a musical performance of Bollywood classics by Rama and Minnie Shukla, a Saratoga-based husband and wife duo, They'll be followed by Vijay and Jayshree Ulal, another pointe shoe brand comparison husband and wife team, Jayshree is the sister of the late city council member Susie Nagpal..
The evening will culminate with a DJ set where everybody will be encouraged to get up and dance, "burning the Diwali calories away," Kumar said. The menu for the night includes gourmet food and desserts catered by The Mynt Indian Restaurant in San Jose. Nonalcoholic beverages will also be available. People are encouraged to come dressed in their finest Indian outfits. Traditionally, those who celebrate the holiday wear their newest and best clothes. Women wear saris and churidars and men wear suits.
The department is seeking to fill roles for three dance scenes and soloists, The children will learn and be trained on the techniques of operatic singing and breathing and extension of range in four-part harmony, The class is every Saturday from 10 a.m, pointe shoe brand comparison to noon, through Dec, 7, All instruction takes place at the Saratoga Prospect Center, Friendship Hall, 19848 Prospect Road, Saratoga, The cost of the nine-week class is $125, For more information, call 408.868.1249, The boutique is also known for its kitchen, which serves homemade "cinnabuns" in the morning and soups, salads and desserts the rest of the day..
But who will join them when the class of 2014 is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? There's certainly no shortage of worthy candidates. The Rock Hall recently announced its latest batch of nominees, and the 16 acts include Nirvana, Kiss, N.W.A., Yes, LL Cool J, Linda Ronstadt and the Replacements. Now, it's the job of the Hall's 600 voters to determine which of the acts deserve to be enshrined. The winners will be announced in December, with the induction ceremony to follow in April in New York City.
Not all of the 16 will make it, of course, Last year, the Hall inducted six performers — including Rush, Public Enemy and Donna Summer — and two producers, (In order to be eligible, an act must have released its first single or album 25 years before nomination.) Here are the six performance acts that should make it in 2014, Nirvana: The single most significant rock band of the last 25 years is an absolute lock for induction, Indeed, I'd call it the safest bet since R.E.M, was nominated in 2006, It would be a ridiculous shocker, one that the Hall simply couldn't recover from, if Nirvana's name pointe shoe brand comparison isn't called in its first year of eligibility..
