Sweet-tasting, bright orange carrot juice can help you meet your recommended intake of vegetables per day. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends that you consume between 2 to 3 cups of vegetables per day. Carrot juice can help you meet this requirement; it takes 1 cup of chopped, raw carrots to make 1/2 cup of juice, which counts as 1/2 cup of veggies. While carrot juice is high in nutrients, long-term storage, even in the fridge, can cause it to lose some of its nutritional value.
Carrot Juice Nutrition
To get the most nutritional value from your carrot juice, make it fresh at home, and drink it soon you make it. Prepare carrot juice as needed, reducing the storage time and thus the nutrient loss. A 1/2 cup of carrot juice has 52 calories per serving, 1.2 grams of protein, less than half a gram of fat and over 6 grams of sugar. While carrots are naturally high in dietary fiber, the fiber is removed during the juicing process. Carrots are a good source of essential vitamins, and they are especially rich in vitamin A, E and K. Carrots are also a good source of potassium and calcium.
Exposure to Air
Some vitamins in carrot juice are sensitive to air and can be destroyed when exposed to air for long periods. Vitamins A, E and C are air sensitive, which means that the longer carrot juice rests, the greater the likelihood that these nutrients will be reduced in your carrot juice. The juicing process already exposes these nutrients to air, and even if your carrot juice is left covered in the fridge, it is still exposed to oxygen in the container and when you open it to drink it.
Exposure to Light
Light exposure can also reduce the presence of certain vitamins. Vitamins A, E, K, B-6 and C are all light sensitive, as is riboflavin when the food is in liquid form, as in carrot juice. While fridges stay dark when the door is closed, storing carrot juice over a period of time in a clear container will expose it to light every time the door is opened, potentially destroying these essential vitamins.
Exposure to Heat
Freshly made carrot juice will retain more nutrients than commercially made juice. Commercially made carrot juice is pasteurized, which means it is subjected to high levels of heat, which can destroy heat-sensitive vitamins. Vitamin A, folate, thiamine and vitamin C are all present in carrot juice, and they can be destroyed when exposed to high heat levels. Making carrot juice at home reduces heat exposure, preserving more of these nutrients. However, using a juicer to make large quantities of juice can cause the machine to heat up during processing, also leading to nutrient loss. For optimal nutrient preservation, make small batches of carrot juice.

Erik Vos (Hellendoorn, 3 mei 1929) is een Nederlands toneelregisseur en theatermaker.

Leven en werken
Erik Vos werd in 1929 geboren als zoon van de geneesheer-directeur van het Sanatorium Hellendoorn. In de winter van 1937 verhuisde hij met zijn moeder naar Utrecht, en later naar Zaandam waar hij aanvankelijk het Zaans Lyceum bezocht, maar ten slotte de HBS afmaakte.
Na zijn eindexamen ging Vos geneeskunde studeren in Utrecht, maar al spoedig liet hij die studie varen. Na het zien van de film Les Enfants du paradis vertrok hij naar Parijs om mimespeler te worden. Hij volgde er lessen bij Étienne Decroux.
Hij ontmoette in Parijs zijn latere vrouw, Inez van Dullemen.

Na de oorlog ging Vos naar de Amsterdamse Toneelschool; in 1955 deed hij eindexamen in de discipline regie: een onderdeel van de school dat speciaal voor hem in het leven was geroepen.
Zijn eersteling als pas afgestudeerde regisseur was een gastdirectie bij Toneelgroep Theater, waar hij "Deirdre en de zonen van Usna" op de planken zette. Geen enkele recensie meldde iets positiefs en de productie werd een flop.
Hierna werd hij artistiek leider van een kindertoneelgezelschap, dat hij onder de naam 'Arena' voortzette. Hier werd ook het eerste door hem zelf geschreven stuk uitgevoerd: de musical "Het dansende ezeltje". Het gezelschap, dat inmiddels De Nieuwe Komedie heette, ging  van lieverlee ook niet op kinderen gerichte stukken spelen, uitmondend in de Griekse tragedie "De Perzen" van Aeschylus (525 – 456 v.Chr.) in theater Carré, wat een groot succes werd (1963).

Na twee jaar in Amerika diverse producties te hebben verzorgd werd Vos in 1967 regisseur, tevens bestuurslid, bij de Nederlandse Comedie en docent aan de Amsterdamse Toneelschool. Omdat hij zich niet kon verenigen met het conservatieve beleid bij het toneelgezelschap stapte hij op 7 oktober 1969 op. Twee dagen later werd de Aktie Tomaat ingeluid in de Amsterdamse Schouwburg, bij de voorstelling "De Storm".
Vos begon een nieuw project onder de naam "Plan 71". Op grond van improvisaties werd een voorstelling gemaakt, die op de planken kwam onder de naam "Bacchanten 71".

Toneelgroep De Appel

Deze nieuwe manier van theater maken en het succes van Bacchanten 71 leidde tot de oprichting van Toneelgroep De Appel in de herfst van 1971.
Hier speelde Vos met beroemde artiesten als Christine Ewert, Carol Linssen en Peter van der Linden, Aus Greidanus, Eric Schneider en vele anderen. Zijn vrouw, de schrijfster Inez van Dullemen, zorgde voor nieuwe vertalingen en bewerking van veel van de stukken.
De jaren bij De Appel betekenden voor Vos een periode van grote successen en triomfen.
Vos werd vanaf die periode veel gevraagd in binnen- en buitenland. Jaarlijks ging hij naar Duitsland of Amerika, om daar bij de Kansas City USA of het Dusseldörfer Schauspielhaus gastregies te verzorgen.
De laatste productie van Vos bij De Appel was in 1997 Koning Oedipus van de Griekse dichter Sophocles. Bij zijn afscheid als artistiek leider van Toneelgroep De Appel, op zondag 16 februari 1997, ontving hij uit handen van staatssecretaris Aad Nuis de Bronner Medaille, een hoge ministeriële onderscheiding voor bijzondere verdiensten. Er werd tevens een Erik Vosprijs in het leven geroepen die sindsdien elke twee jaar wordt uitgereikt.

Daarna
In 2009 ontving Vos de VSCD Oeuvreprijs, vanwege zijn grote bijdrage aan de Nederlandse podiumkunsten.

Ook daarna bleef hij actief als regisseur en maker van theatervoorstellingen, voor zowel toneel, opera en dans.
Erik Vos heeft een aantal boeken op zijn naam staan.

Israel Targets Damascus Home of Islamic Jihad Official, Group Says
Attack came as the IDF killed Islamic Jihad commander Abu al-Ata in Gaza, precipitating escalation
A building attacked in Damascus early on November 12, 2019. Islamic Jihad says it was the residence of one of their commanders, and was attacked by Israeli forces.
The Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad said Israel targeted the house of one of its officials in the Syrian capital on Tuesday, killing one of his sons.
skip - Haaretz Weekly 12/11
Haaretz WeeklyHaaretz
Syrian state media earlier reported that at least two people were killed and six wounded in an attack in the early hours that targeted a building in Damascus, without saying who had been targeted or who had carried out the attack.
>> This is a summary of the morning's events. For all the latest updates follow our liveblog here
An Islamic Jihad official confirmed it was the same incident in which the home of political leader, Akram Al-Ajouri, was struck. In a statement, Islamic Jihad blamed the attack on "the Zionist criminal enemy".
Also on Tuesday, Israel killed a top commander of the Islamic Jihad in a rare targeted strike in the Gaza Strip, accusing him of carrying out a series of cross-border attacks and planning more.
Syrian state media identified the building as a civilian home located near the Lebanese embassy in Mezzah, a western district of the capital that is home to Damascus University and many foreign embassies.
Earlier, state media had said the Syrian army opened fire on "a hostile target" over Daraya, a suburb southwest of Damascus. Photos published by state news agency SANA showed damage to a two-storey building and debris strewn over cars.

Uruguay - Brazil - Argentina
The extradition of retired colonel Manuel Cordero has been requested by Uruguay for his involvement in "Operation Condor," the repressive operation orchestrated by the Southern Cone dictatorships to persecute anyone who opposed them, kidnapping, torturing and disappearing thousands of people. Cordero fled to Brazil in 2004, when a Uruguayan judge declared him in contempt of court in a proceeding in which he is charged with "advocacy of torture"
Join the International Campaign to extradite Cordero from Brazil. By filling out the form below, you will be sending a copy of journalist Roger Rodríguez' letter to each of the Justices of the Federal Supreme Court of Brazil
City Country
Your Excellency,
The Chief Justice of the
Federal Supreme Court of Brazil,
Dr. Gilmar Mendes
You have a historic decision in your hands.
You will determine if the people, the judicial system and the State have the right to judge criminals accused of crimes against humanity. And you will also be deciding if Brazil continues to harbor human rights violators from around the world.
Today you have in your hands the power to decide on the extradition of Uruguayan torturer colonel Manuel Cordero Piacentini, who sought refuge in Brazil in 2004, fleeing from a trial in Uruguay, where a judge declared him in contempt in a proceeding in which he was charged with "advocacy of torture."
Because colonel Cordero publicly stated that he supported the use of physical coercion to obtain a confession from prisoners, and, therefore, he explicitly vindicated his use of torture on opponents of the Uruguayan dictatorship, which he served.
Because colonel Cordero later refused to appear before the criminal court that summoned him to answer for his public statements, employing countless excuses and legal ploys to avoid appearing in court, and ultimately fleeing to Brazil and declaring himself a "political refugee."
In your hands is the responsibility of granting or denying the requests for extradition issued by an Argentinean judge and a Uruguayan judge, who are investigating this officer for his involvement in "Operation Condor" and for the kidnapping and forced disappearance of Uruguayan civilians in Argentina in 1976.
Because colonel Cordero was one of the heads of the coordinated repression carried out by the region's dictatorships, and he is responsible for the forced disappearance of children and the torturing of hundreds of Uruguayans in Automotores Orletti, the clandestine detention center of the city of Buenos Aires.
Because colonel Cordero went as far as raping a woman in front of her partner, the unionist León Duarte, to extort money from him. He also extorted money from another unionist, Gerardo Gatti, and he is one of the persons behind the disappearance of the Uruguayan Adalberto Soba, among others…
What is actually in your hands is merely the obligation of determining whether the requests made by the Argentinean and Uruguayan courts are in accordance with Brazil's legal regulations, to then decide, within due process of law, on the rights that colonel Manuel Cordero Piacentini undeniably has.
But also in your hands is the right that the families of the victims of these imprescriptible crimes against humanity have to the truth, the right to find out what happened to their loved ones, whose cherished laughter they have lost in this infamous silence, the right to know where their remains are and to give them proper burial.
Also in your hands is the right that the people who suffered such atrocious circumstances have to remember, because knowing what happened is essential to understanding history and preventing the same from happening in the future, and from affecting my children, or your children, or our grandchildren.
Also in your hands is the credibility of the court system, of justices and judges, of prosecutors and of the very laws that we set for ourselves to live together in peace… Because when someone who has committed crimes against humanity is allowed to go free, without being brought to justice, a situation of impunity is generated that infects the whole of society.
In your hands is the power that you, a human being like myself, have of achieving justice by allowing other judges, in other countries, to also achieve justice under the laws established by their people. Because that is what this is about: finding the truth and achieving justice.

Hey there! Nobody has noticed, but the SockCast (my podcast) hasn't had a new episode in awhile. Actually, it hasn't even been online for months! Well, that's about to change.
This month makes TWO YEARS since it started, holy cow! So to celebrate, I'm gonna do a whole relaunch gimmick. Each day, I'm going to upload an episode, in case you missed it the first time around, or listen to it again!
Then when all the old episodes are up, the new SockCast will pick it up from there! New gimmicks! Weirder guests! An audio bonanza that will put a smile on your face, hopefully.


Are these natural disasters a sign of the second coming?
Day 23: What does the Book of Mormon teach about talents?
Day 21: How does the Book of Mormon help me make decisions?
Near death experience changes missionary's life.
Church releases new program for RMs.
Mass flooding in Texas and a category 5 Hurricane and an 8.0 Mexican earthquake, within weeks of each other makes it seem like natural disasters are becoming more common. And they are!
I promise, I don't have 5 years supply of food in the basement and I'm not building a bunker. However, is it a fact that UN chief, Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, recently said that "natural disasters have quadrupled since 1970".
So we're surely all agreed that natural disasters have increased. But why is it so wildly unpopular that these events could be biblical 'signs of the times'?
The bible tells us that, "…there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places" Mat 24:7. "One pestilence will desolate after another" Rev 6:15 and "the seas heaving beyond their bounds" Mat 1:26.
When I was a child I hoped the end of the world would be conveniently around the time I'd have to leave home and pay my own bills. As I grew older, I decided that if this event ever did take place, then it'd be well into the future and well after I was dead. However, with this hard evidence of increased natural disasters happening right in front of us. Surely even I can't just sit back and ignore the signs. Can I?
I can understand why no one wants the world to end. What a bleak and grim prospect. However, maybe's there's a bright side to all of this. Maybe the signs aren't so much a poster for doom and gloom, or a sharp motivator to repent. But maybe they're a reminder to be ready for something better to come. An opportunity for us to band together, serve one another and share what we have.
Maybe the end of the world, isn't as scary as it seems, could it just be an end to 'Worldly things'? Maybe the just, righteous and faithful will not be as terrified as we might think.
If Jesus is coming back, I'd like to think I'll be wearing a yellow 'helping hands' vest and be serving plates of food. I think living through these natural disasters might be the only way I'll be ready and humble enough to meet Him.
Day 3: What does the Book of Mormon teach us about trust?


This Sunday morning, the news will be dominated by the counting process at Naxxar. During the night, until approximately 10.00am this morning, all ballot boxes will be opened and a reconciliation of the votes actually cast is made. The actual counting is scheduled to commence at 10am.
Depending on the difference in votes between the large parties, we may have the first forecast of the result within 30 minutes. However, if the difference is minimal, as was the case in 2008, it will take much longer for accurate forecasts to be made: it may well be in the early afternoon.
In actual fact, we have in play two different electoral systems, running concurrently on the basis of different rules.
The first electoral system is the Single Transferable Vote system, which is applicable in each and every one of the 13 electoral districts. In fact, we speak of general elections, as in reality we have 13 different and independent elections running in parallel in the various electoral districts. The Single Transferable Vote system is exclusively dependent on the electors' choices in the last count.
The second electoral system will begin when the counting process in all 13 districts has been completed and seeks to introduce a correlation between the accumulated final count result with the accumulated first count in the electoral districts. As is well known, a correction factor is thereafter applied to remove any discrepancies between the first count and the final count and consequently restore proportionality according to the first count.
This correction of discrepancies is, however, carried out in only two circumstances: namely if a political party surpasses the 50 per cent threshold, and also if only two political parties are elected to Parliament. In more than two political parties are elected, and none of them exceeds the 50 per cent threshold, then the correction of proportionality discrepancies is simply ignored.
The existence of two parallel electoral systems has its roots in gerrymandering carried out, as a result of which electoral boundaries are periodically tweaked to favour one or the other of the major parties. The most notable cases of such gerrymandering having been carried out prior to the 1971 and the 1981 general elections.
The 1971 gerrymandering exercise did not materialise for just five votes while, as we all know, the 1981 one was successful in that it returned a Labour Government with a three-seat majority when it should have returned a PN government with a one seat majority.
The 1987 Constitutional amendments negotiated by Dom Mintoff and Guido de Marco established a simple and rudimentary majority rule principle. This was subsequently tweaked with additional constitutional amendments in 1996 and 2007, as a result of which the applicability of the proportionality rules were extended to apply where there only exists a relative majority of votes at first count stage.
The Constitutional rules makes one basic assumption: that only two parliamentary political parties exist and in fact the 2007 amendments extended the applicability of the adjustment mechanism to both parties.
The physical counting of votes will be carried out under the watchful eyes of representatives of all political parties and the candidates themselves.
Human error, and maybe more, contributes to a number of mistakes during the counting process. Some are generally identified and corrected immediately. Others pass by un-noticed, nobody being aware of their potential impact. During the 2013 General Elections count – as a result of an obvious lack of attention of the party representatives – two such mistakes cost the PN two Parliamentary seats, only for the Constitutional Court to decide on the matter 44 months later.
Given these mistakes in 2013, in all probability the atmosphere in the counting hall will be more tense than usual, with the PN and PL representatives competing over who has the best scrutinising skills.
To the many predictions that have already been made as to the possible results I will certainly not add mine. One thing is however certain: this Sunday will be a very long day.
The general election is being over-shadowed by a web of corruption spun around the Office of the Prime Minister. It has been unravelling for months since the publication of the Panama Papers.
Months of debate has highlighted the need for Parliament to reclaim the authority which, over the years, it has ceded to government. All institutions require continuous Parliamentary oversight: even the civil service needs to be properly monitored by Parliament.
The PN are proposing labour-proof institutions. In reality the institutions need to be PN-proof as well – as both major political parties have had exclusive control of institutions over the years, bending them to their will.
The current mess is the direct result of a two-party system that spread its tentacles through the institutions creating empires with the specific aim of buttressing those in power and protecting them in their time of need. It is a two-party system which, over a 50-year period, has developed a winner takes all mentality, as a result of which only those aligned to the winner are deemed to be able to contribute to the well-being and development of the country. The rest, with few exceptions, have been repeatedly excluded, and it is Malta which, ultimately has lost the utilisation of substantial talent.
This is the background to Alternattiva Demokratika's electoral manifesto. Entitled Vote Green – Vote clean, without ignoring other important issues, it focuses on matters of governance in addition to its core environmental proposals.
We have plenty of good laws. The problem is that, many times, the pool of talent from which those who implement such laws are selected is generally limited to those carrying the party card. Successive governments have often preferred the politically loyal to the technically and ethically competent. This has been possible due to the fact that Parliament has abdicated its responsibilities and assigned them to the government.
Parliament should reclaim the authority ceded to government to appoint authorities and it should proceed to screen those nominated through a public hearing by a Parliamentary Committee on the lines practised by the Senate of the United States of America. This screening by Parliament should be applicable first and foremost to all constitutional authorities, as well as to all authorities set up in terms of law. Likewise, the appointment of Commissioner of Police, the Head of the Armed Forces, the Governor of the Central Bank, the Head of the Civil Service and ambassadors, as well as all civil service grades from Director up to Permanent Secretary, should be subject to Parliamentary scrutiny.
In addition to ensuring a more serious selection process, this would serve as a safety valve protecting the civil service itself from abusive action on the part of an incoming government as happened in 2013, when the Head of the Civil Service and practically all Permanent Secretaries were removed in the first minutes of a new Labour government.
The recruitment of people of trust on a large scale during the past 4 years has further politicised the civil service. It is a practice that has been on the increase even before March 2013. The engagement of people of trust throughout the wider public service was used as a stratagem to avoid the scrutiny of the Public Service Commission, a constitutional body established specifically to ensure a fair recruitment process. This should cease forthwith, with the engagement of people of trust being limited to the private secretariats of holders of political office.
The Standards in Public Life Act, which ironically was supported by both the PN and the PL, was approved by Parliament shortly before dissolution. It provisions were therefore not implemented. In particular, the appointment of a Commissioner for Standards in Public Life – to be tasked with investigating the behaviour of MPs – has not yet materialised and will have to be addressed by the new Parliament elected on 3 June.
Lobbying is not yet regulated. In fact, its regulation has been postponed as no agreement was reached between the PN and the PL about possible lobbying regulations.
AD considers that the next Parliament will have to address head-on whether Members of Parliament should be full-timers, thus severing all links with profession and/or employment and, as a result, substantially reducing instances of conflict of interest faced by Members of Parliament.
Parliament can, in the next few weeks, assume a central role in re-building the country's institutions. It is the only way forward to ensure that ethical behaviour in public life is the norm, rather than the exception.


Can Colombia Win The World Cup?
Colombia have played in five World Cup Finals, but they have been the subject of plenty of drama both on and off the pitch.
The Colombian International Football Team withdrew in 1938, before being banned by FIFA in 1954. They eventually made their first appearance at the 1962 World Cup Finals, where they exited at the Group Stage. They then made the Last-16 when next seen at the finals in 1990, but failed again to make the knockout stages in 1994, after which defender Andres Escobar was murdered after scoring an own goal. They again failed to make the knockout stages in 1998.
Colombia then failed to qualify in 2002, 2006 and 2010, before delighting the Rio crowds in 2014 with some fantastic attacking football that carried them all the way to the quarter-finals where they lost 2-1 to Brazil.
Much of their 2014 success was attributed to 2014 World Cup Golden Boot winner James Rodriguez, and the big question is how far will his goals take Colombia at the 2018 World Cup.
Rodriguez may have scored the goals in 2014, but Colombia also have the attacking talents of Radamel Falcao to call upon if required. The striker was forced to miss the 2014 World Cup because of injury but, following a failed stint in the English Premier League, he is currently scoring plenty of goals for Monaco. Colombia also have another top-class striker in Carlos Bacca, whilst coach Jose Pekerman also took Argentina to the quarter-finals at the 2006 World Cup, which was also in Europe (Germany).
Poland should give Colombia plenty to think about in the Group Stages though and, as the top-seed in Group H, they may not be pleased to have been installed as second favourites to win the group behind Colombia. However, Poland have failed to qualify for the last two World Cup Finals and, despite having to quality strikers in Robert Lewandowski and Jakub Blaszcykowski, their suspect defence is sure to receive a stern test in a group full of attacking talent.
Group H is by no means a two-horse race though, as Senegal have put together their best team since they made it to the quarter-finals in 2002, one that includes Liverpool's Sadio Mane. They also have Aliou Cisse as coach, the captain of Senegal's 2002 World Cup team.
Colombia will fancy repeating their 2014 World Cup Finals defeat of Japan, who lack the household names of the other three teams.
Progression to the Knockout Stages isn't a certainty for Colombia, but it will be a shame if their attacking talents make an early exit. They are also a team who are capable of beating most of the second-level teams in the competition, whilst they could easily pose a threat to one of the bigger-teams if Rodriguez and Falcao hit form. Therefore, it could be worth betting on Colombia to make it to the quarter-finals and semi-finals.

Location: Luton, UK
Client: London Luton Airport Ltd.
Sector: Aviation |
London Luton Airport (LLA) is the fifth busiest airport in the UK, carrying 17M passengers in 2019, and one of the key economic drivers employing 9,400 staff from the local region. To accommodate migration to South-East England and the demand for travel abroad, it underwent a £150M transformation to increase capacity to 18M passengers by 2020. This couples with the adjacent New Century Park Enterprise Zone which will create 38,000sqm of manufacturing and distribution space and 4,000 new jobs.
Pell Frischmann was originally commissioned for Stage 1 – Route Identification. However, owing to our collaborative and innovative approach the client extended our involvement through to Stage 5 – Construction Supervision. The team was responsible for a complete redesign of the terminal, increasing its capacity by 50% to accommodate space for new retail space and eateries. The client also drew on our multi-disciplinary and cross-sector expertise and commissioned us to undertake the redevelopment beyond the terminal, including major upgrades to transport links to LLA, including:
Better road access to the M1;
New car parking facilities;
Remodelled bus and coach interchange;
Improved rail links to Luton Airport Parkway Station.
Pell Frischmann also acted as the Stakeholder Manager for the project. Aviation schemes bring a variety of interested parties not only from those on the ground at all times, but also those who aren't. Our team's collaborative engagement with EasyJet, Tui and others ensured that our design did not disrupt critical operations. Our approach earned the respect of all parties, building an extended team focused on, and confident in, successfully achieving the airport's growth ambitions.
London Luton Airport Ltd.'s (LLAL) 'Vision for Sustainable Growth 2020-2050' paper, published in 2017, sets a vision and process to extract and spread the benefits of LLA's growth over the surrounding communities and counties, with regular public consultation between: Central Bedfordshire Council, Hertfordshire County Council, North Hertfordshire District Council and Luton Borough Council. The Pell Frischmann Stakeholder Team have been key to laying the foundations for this to happen.
The aspiration is to significantly increase the 18M passengers per year to 32M. Our collaborative approach carefully balances maximising economic, social and environmental benefits, whilst absolutely mitigating adverse effects on the economy and the environment.
We are proud to be helping LLAL, deliver its aims, namely:
Seamless levels of service for the travellers to and fro the country;
Actively manage environment impacts at the regional and wider levels as part of their commitment in sustainable development;
Supporting Luton Council in delivering the Luton Investment Framework and its work to eradicate poverty and improve lives.

When we think of printing, it sounds like the printer will do everything for you. But, there are couple of things to look out for or consider before printing to make sure the final results will meet your expectations.
1. Always check the resolution of an image before printing.
DPI or Dots Per Inch is very critical to the quality of the prints. The term stands for how many dots are in one square inch, so higher dpi results clean and crisp image. If you try to print a low resolution image, it will look blurry or pixelated especially if you print it on a large scale.
2. Check the color mode of the image.
There are two types of color mode used when displaying an image.
1. RGB - RGB is a spectrum of colored lights - involving Red, Green and Blue - that is used on screens to display colors. RGB has much larger gamut than CMYK(ink) which can portray millions of colors that CMYK cannot produce. RGB colors are known as additive because the palette starts from black and as the colors are added the result is lighter with the white being the very end of the palette. So, if your work is to be presented on a screen, you should be working in RGB.
2. CMYK - CMYK is a spectrum of colored inks - involving Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black - that is used in printing. CMYK has limited gamut compared to RGB. CMYK colors are known as subtractive because the palette starts from white and as the colors are added, the palette is gradually gets darker until it reaches black. Unlike RGB that is based on colored lights, the colors we see with inks are coming from their absorbing and reflecting certain wavelength of lights.
So, if you are going to print an image, it is best to change the mode into CMYK to have the best accuracy between what you see on the screen and what you see on the print.
But hold on! Because you are planning to print an image, it shouldn't lead you to work in CMYK mode from the start. The reason is because CMYK has such limited color gamut, you will have to work within such small area, however, RGB has much larger gamut which can produce vibrant and strong colors which will let you to work in much larger spectrum. When you print, the drivers will convert from RGB to CMYK accordingly to match the colors as closest as possible. You can color proof if you are using Adobe products to see the printed version on the screen which will help you to decide on colors and how the printer will process the image.
3. Consider the type of paper.
There are many types of papers for printing. Some are matte, glossy, or even textured. Depending on the paper, the presentation will have different effects. Also if you are printing at home, you should know the types of papers your printer can handle. If you try to force printing with a paper that the printer doesn't accept, the result may not be good or even break your printer. Well known printing brands such as Epson and Canon provide their own line of quality papers which allows easier production for those who are looking to print at home.
Other ways you can print is by sending your work to professional print studios as they will have proper equipments and professionals who will do everything for you. Consider visiting different studios and ask for color samples to find the perfect palette you are looking for because each studio may have different printing profiles which will have slight variations of colors.
If you are planning to take your work to a print studio, come over to www.canadaoncanvas.com as the studio offers great products in great quality.

Q: Power BI - keep only total values in a table I am working on a Power BI report and I have this matrix:

In which I have Amount and Rate as values. What I need is to hide all the Rate values for each RATING and keep only the calculated Total Rate in this table.
I tried to Exclude the Rate column, but it just excludes the whole column instead(if I exclude the rate for the column "A-1" it excludes entire "A-1" column).
Is there any way I can achieve what I need?
Thank you in advance! :D

A: Good Idea would be to keep the calculations in underlying dataset/ table/ dataframe
Only fetch already calculated Amount in PBI.
Rates would not appear in your report, as you only pull up the calculated & desired column in PBI.
Also BI would be light weight.

Tommy Cooper: The Complete LWT Series
With his uniquely chaotic blend of fluffed magic and lame jokes, Tommy Cooper was a constant and instantly recognisable presence on television for four decades. A firm favourite with the public, his variety shows were always eagerly awaited – Eric Sykes hailed Tommy Cooper as the "funniest man in the world", so it's hardly surprising that it was noted "he only had to walk on stage to cause hysterics"!
First transmitted fifty years ago, Cooper's series for London Weekend followed hot on the heels of his phenomenally successful three-year-run of Life With Cooper and set him firmly on the path to television superstardom through the 1970s and beyond.
This classic sketch series features a veritable galaxy of guest stars: Ted Ray, Stubby Kaye, Richard Briers, Arthur Lowe, Joan Greenwood, Bernard Cribbins, Patrick Cargill, Tricia Noble, Vincent Price, Michael Bentine, Ronnie Barker, Thora Hird, Diana Dors, Ronnie Corbett, Liz Fraser and Eric Sykes! This release contains all thirteen episodes on two discs.

Louise Newman is an Australian developmental psychiatrist and clinical researcher currently based at Monash University, in Melbourne, Australia. She is an advocate for the mental health of asylum seekers.

Early life and education
Newman completed her secondary education in 1976 in Australia. She then continued to complete a Bachelor of Honours in Psychology in 1980 at The University of Sydney.  Prime Minister of Australia Tony Abbott was a student there during this time.  Based on her interest in abnormal psychology and a desire to carry out clinical  work, she applied for graduate entry to Medicine.  She was aged in her 20s and  was among the first ten graduate entries to the degree of Medicine.

While studying medicine in Sydney, Australia she  independently studied psychoanalysis to complement her education and training.

Newman then went on to specialise in psychiatry, in particular infant psychiatry and completed a PhD investigating trauma in infancy at The University of Sydney in this area, awarded in 2007.

Work in psychiatry
Following completion of her training, Newman worked as the Clinical Director of Child Psychiatry in South West Sydney and until 1997. Her focus during this period was largely on child mistreatment.  While working in South Western Sydney in the 1990s, Newman was exposed to the plight of asylum seekers and recent immigrants in Australia.  These events expanded her career focus to incorporate asylum seeker advocacy and mental health, specifically "working to ensure the trauma that some asylum seekers experienced in their homeland is not exacerbated by Australia's policy of mandatory detention"

Newman has a particular interest in the field of infant psychiatry where she specialises in working with parents with babies up to three years of age. These parents often have psychiatric difficulties themselves and the resulting transgenerational issues and impact of trauma on early development is one of her primary research interests. With research staff at Monash University, she is investigating the impact of interventions for high risk parents. In addition, Newman performs refugee research on school aged children investigating the impact of traumatic experiences both before they arrive in Australia and as refugees. She is a strong advocate for young refugees and works to highlight the damage that can be caused to young people by detention and the refugee experience in Australia.

 Works at the Centre for Mental Health in the Health Department, where she is involved in policy development
 She was recently appointed at the Director of the Centre for Women's Mental Health at the Royal Women's Hospital, Melbourne

Student supervision
 , Newman co-supervises 9 PhD students and is a primary supervisor for one PhD student
 She has previously supervised two PhD students to completion (2013–2014).

Awards and honours
 In 2009 Pat, Toni and Peter Kinsman Research Scholarship to encourage research into postnatal depression in women in Australia and New Zealand.
 In 2011, Newman was appointed as a member of the Order of Australia 'for service in Medicine in the fields of perinatal, child and adolescent mental health, to education and as an advocate for refugees and asylum seekers'.

Personal
Taken from an interview with ABC Local Radio:
 Newman lives in Melbourne. She has a brother. She spent most of her youth in South America (Brazil and Mexico), followed by the United Kingdom.
 Her father was a Jewish refugee from Vienna and therefore grew up very aware of human rights violations and their impact on society.  Her father was involved in protests actions against the Nazis. He was a nuclear physicist.
 Newman's mother was an artist.

Ramen Danbo at 1333 Robson Street in Vancouver.
Ramen with customizable broth and noodles.
At Ramen Danbo you can customize the thickness and firmness of your noodles and the amount of fat and spice you want in your broth.
I thought the regular broth had the perfect amount of fat to make it rich, but not too greasy.
I prefer my noodles more firm because I find they soften up in the hot broth anyway. The firm thin noodles were perfect for me and exactly what I look for in ramen.
The chashu pork slices were good. They were tender with a rim of fat, but not too much.
Ramen Danbo has officially become my favourite ramen place in Vancouver because I love the high level of customization they offer.

Slime mould log
17th April | 20 April
I have found Physarum compressum several times during the past few years and always on dead clematis (Clematis aristata), a vine that's common in the places I regularly check for slime moulds. P. compressum is a fairly distinctive species because its stalked sporangia are laterally compressed and more or less fan-shaped. The latest colony I found in Thismia Gully consisted of scattered and gregarious sporangia on the dead wood of the clematis vine, on the moss that covered part of the vine and also on a eucalypt log on the ground on which the vine had fallen.
I always make a note of the substrate on which I find slime moulds. However, it is difficult to determine if slime moulds have substrate preferences. The two trophic (feeding) stages of slime moulds operate within the soil or dead organic matter. When they are ready to transform to produce their fruiting structures, the plasmodia migrate to the outer surface of logs, stumps, dead leaves or other substrate. Therefore, where the fruiting bodies are found does not necessarily indicate where they function during their two trophic stages.
Didymium sp.
While in Thismia Gully I usually check a large, eucalypt log that looks as if it's been lying on the ground for many decades as it is well rotted and has a good covering of moss and leafy liverworts. There are usually extensive colonies of Lamproderma species on the moss, but none have appeared this year - perhaps because it's too early for some species.
What caught my eye during this visit were several white spheres on a dead leaf that had fallen on the log. After some searching in the same location I found half a dozen leaves - one eucalypt and five dogwood (Pomaderris apetala) - each dotted with sporangia that could be Didymium sp.
The fruiting bodies are about 1 mm total height. The stalk is 0.5 mm, umbilicate and pale buff colour and there is a distinctive columella. They resemble D. applanatum but don't have the longitudinal ridges of that species. The spores are minutely warted.
Unidentified slime mould
Complete mystery!
On March 3 2013 on the same log I found an extremely distinctive species that I've not seen here before. One large fruiting body was on exposed wood and another smaller one was about one metre away. The hypothallus was bright red/orange and the bright yellow fruiting body resembled an immature Fuligo septica. However, unlike F. septica, which usually fades to a very pale lemon colour, this one remained bright yellow.
Also unlike F. septica, that has a crust-like cortex, the peridium of this species is extremely delicate. Furthermore, while it superficially resembles an aethalium it could be piled up plasmodiocarps. Its dark brown spores have no distinctive markings when viewed with a (somewhat inadequate) compound microscope.
Enerthenema sp.
The lack of entries on the slime mould log is not because there haven't been slime moulds appearing at Black Sugarloaf lately. Far from it! Since the last posting I have collected numerous specimens including a few that have not been recorded here before.
Enerthenema sp. is a very distinctive species despite being only about 1 mm tall. It could be mistaken for a Comatricha species except that it has a shiny apical disc. That is, a tiny (0.2 mm diameter) cup-shaped disc at the top of the columella. The capillitium is attached to the apical disc and the threads hang down much like streamers from a maypole.
It is apparently quite common in moist chamber cultures, but I found it in the field on the upper surface of a dead dogwood (Pomaderris apetala).
Cribraria cancellata
Cribraria cancellata (formerly Dictydium cancellatum) appeared on April 6th on a blackwood (Acacia melanoxylon) log that is extremely productive for slime moulds.
I've only seen C. cancellata twice before so it's certainly not 'common and widespread' despite being described thus by Stepehenson. The first time I saw it was several years ago and I lost track of it; the second time was the following year and I left it in the field with the intention of collecting it the following day—it was not far from the house. Unfortunately it rained that night and all the sporangia got washed away. Lesson: always collect when you see good specimens!
The reddish-coloured C. cancellata is quite a distinctive species. It has the peridial net characteristic of the genus, but unlike other Cribraria species the net has longitudinal ribs connected by transverse ladder-like threads. The top of the stipe is very fine; all the sporotheca are nodding in the specimens I collected.
The beautiful Physarum flavicomum appeared in the swamp on the same small log as last year.
Lots of Arcyria species have been collected in the past few months. Some are tan brown, so are possibly A. obvelata; some are reddish coloured and could be A. denudata or A. affinus.

AAM-A-1
Ryan AAM-A-1 Firebird
In 1946 the USAAF awarded study contracts for several types of guided air-to-air missiles. These included project MX-799, which was assigned to Ryan Aeronautical, and which called for a fighter-launched subsonic AAM for use against bombers. In 1947, Ryan was awarded a development contract under project MX-799 for the AAM-A-1 Firebird missile, the first really viable air-to-air missile project of the U.S. Air Force. The first launch of an XAAM-A-1 prototype occurred in October 1947.
Photo: USAF
XAAM-A-1
The XAAM-A-1 prototypes were launched from DF-82C and DB-26B aircraft. The missile had a solid-propellant booster, which was in line with the rear fuselage. After booster burnout, it was dropped, and the liquid-fueled sustainer engine (there is one source, though, which quotes a solid sustainer) propelled the Firebird for another 15 seconds. For stability and control, the XAAM-A-1 used cruciform moving wings and fixed tailfins. It was directed toward the target by an operator using a radio command guidance system, and used semi-active radar guidance for terminal homing. The high-explosive warhead was detonated by a proximity and impact fuzing system.
The Firebird tests continued until late 1949, when the AAM-A-1 program was cancelled. The mid-course command guidance made the missile a pure day-only clear-weather weapon, and while the possibility of a radar beam-riding guidance was studied, this option was not pursued because the subsonic XAAM-A-1 was effectively obsolete in 1950. However, data obtained during tests of the SARH terminal guidance proved useful in the development of the GAR-1/AIM-4 Falcon missile.
Data for XAAM-A-1:
Length (w/o booster) 2.29 m (7 ft 6 in); booster: 0.56 m (1 ft 10 in)
Wingspan 0.81 m (2 ft 8 in)
Finspan 0.81 m (2 ft 8 in)
Diameter 20 cm (8 in)
Weight 120 kg (260 lb)
Speed Mach 0.85
Range 13 km (8 miles)
Propulsion Sustainer: Liquid-fueled rocket; 2.7 kN (600 lb)
Booster: Solid-fueled rocket
Warhead 40 kg (90 lb) high-explosive

Almanac says it should be a White Christmas
Iowans who are hoping for a "White Christmas" will likely get their wish, at least as far as the Old Farmer's Almanac is concerned. Senior editor MareAnn Jarvela says in 214 years of publishing weather forecasts, the annual book has an 80-percent accuracy rating for precipitation and temperature.
In addition to snow on Christmas, Jarvela says December and January will be the snowiest months of the season, while February will be nice and warmer than usual, followed by a cold April and a possible late April snowstorm in the upper Midwest region. She says the spring ahead isn't likely going to be one during which photographers will be shooting postcard pictures in Iowa.
She says the Almanac predicts April and May won't be pretty, as it will be colder than normal with above-normal rainfall, which she says will be helpful for farmers and gardeners. She says the summer ahead is expected to be several degrees cooler than normal with July being the hottest month. While the 2006 edition of the Alamanc has been for sale since September and parts of it were written months before, Jarvela says their accuracy rating is still exceptional.
The 2007 Almanac is already in production. She says they believe the weather comes in cycles and patterns, they consult past weather history and computer models and use a "secret formula" created by the book's first editor. The Almanac has been around since 1792 and boasts being the oldest publication in North America. For more information, surf to "www.almanac.com".

There is some forecasting for EUR pairs (EUR/USD, EUR/GBP and especially for EUR/JPY) provided by BNP Paribas.
"This scenario produces a relief rally across most asset classes. European equities would rally and peripheral spreads would narrow. It is unlikely the EUR would appreciate broadly as it is difficult to argue that the single currency is trading at a discount to valuation. Outcome 1 would provide a catalyst for the re-establishment of EUR-funded carry trades," BNPP advises.
"Accordingly, the EUR should depreciate, especially against higher yielders such as the USD and GBP. A clear exception would be EURCHF, which is likely to rally in this scenario. The CHF has served as a safe-haven – as indicated by the net long exposure of +24," BNPP projects.
"This is the scenario the market fears...We view that EURJPY shorts would perform even better in this scenario, as an anticipated delay to Fed tightening would weaken the USD," BNPP advises.
A2SR - EURUSD: This is how you can determine strong Support as the right price for buying position.
