Come enjoy the sand volleyball courts in the heart of the Old Mill District on the Deschutes River. Whether you are a player or a spectator the courts have something for you. Enjoy viewing deck with picnic tables and a sand box for the kiddos.
The courts are maintained by the Bend Beach Volleyball Club. All information regarding the sand courts can be found here.
Volleyball players of all levels are welcome to join in the organized play, tournaments and leagues going on throughout the summer. Or, you can grab a group of your friends and a ball and start up your own game whenever a tournament is not on the schedule. Have fun and play hard.
The courts are available for use by the public when no other events are scheduled. Volleyballs can be checked out at the Ticket Mill next to Anthony's.
Because of the high demand, and in an effort to provide an opportunity for as many people to play as possible, the courts are not available for rental or reservation by the general public at any time.
Spectators are encouraged to come down and watch the games throughout the day. There is a viewing deck on the south side of the courts, picnic tables and extra sand to play and sit in while watching the volleyball games this summer.

Home / News / Seymour well positioned for trunk mains cleansing work
Seymour well positioned for trunk mains cleansing work
Seymour Civil Engineering expects the 'floodgates to open' for further specialist work, saying it is well positioned to make further inroads into trunk mains cleansing as its four-year contract with Northumbrian Water nears completion.
The company won the tender with Northumbrian Water to carry out maintenance and cleaning of a Victorian trunk main which supplies water to Newcastle, Gateshead, North Tyneside and Northumberland and has invested heavily in specialist equipment to facilitate the project.
Seymour has a long standing relationship with Northumbrian Water and as the project draws to a close in the next 12 months, it is now in a position to carry out similar works having invested almost £500,000 in bespoke equipment to maintain and clean the large diameter pipes.
Kevin Byrne, managing director at Seymour, said: "We are very proud of the work that has been carried out on this project, going right back to the day we won the tender. We have had more than 40 staff engaged on the work, and their skills have developed as the project has progressed. It is more mechanical engineering than civil engineering, carrying out pressure testing, analysing the trunk main and using the sampling points to verify that the main is cleaned to specification.
"We invested heavily in equipment, and we have learned a lot along the way which will stand us in good stead for future projects. The specialism we have developed is transferable to other industries, not just water companies. We can get involved from day one, and the closer we are to the front end of design the more effective we are in delivering the project."
He hopes the Northumbrian Water project will open the floodgates to further specialist work when it comes to cleansing and repairing trunk mains and said Seymour Civil Engineering can provide a one-stop shop for similar projects. "Projects like this are huge, and we are faced with lots of complex issues that present themselves. You have to remember that many of these pipes were laid back in Victorian times, some of them are 150 years old. Cities and motorways have been built on top of these piping systems since they were built."
To deliver the programme of works Seymour utilised two techniques to clean the pipes - ice pigging and typhoon jetting.
As well as trunk cleansing, the firm specialises in drainage, urban renewal projects, restoration and development work as well as sea defence and coastal protection work.

to a struggle for existence, or "survival of the fittest." Since then, scientists have advanced the theory by contributing an understanding of how genes affect evolution.
A slight refinement of old news.
I was _really_ hoping for a picture.
Every half-way decent study in evolution strengthens Darwin's theory.
However, I believe a lot of mistakes were made in this study - which makes it pretty useless as an endorsement.
natural selection is great to explain what it was originally intended to explain: "that environmental conditions can ... impact ... physical traits that affect the survival of species" by regulating the population to regulating genes more favored to an environment, but that which ALREADY exist. it is a refinement mechanism. Its been proved time and time again in real life, in experiment and computer simulations.
HOWEVER, natural selection cannot by definition "directly impact genes controlling physical traits". it can only impact the behaviors of individual species thereby impact individuals ability to mate, thereby affecting the gene pool in proceeding generations, and only bu that method impacting genes (not so direct hu?).
Its a common misconception that Darwin [fill-gap-with-any-theory] changes genes in anything but a disruptive way (mutations). Very VERY rarely do mutations create benefit for organisms. And not one single study, experiment or computer simulation has shown that by strictly Darwinian theory useful, constructive, innovative genes have been produced.
How new genetic information is create? I have no idea. But within the context of an individual organism or species it is proved, in the real world, by study and by experiment, that new genes are ACQUIRED by some form of horizontal gene transfer. Its only once these new genes have been successfully integrated into the new host, that Darwin's Natural Selection can determine how good those genes are for the host and the host species.
seanpu, natural selection cannot directly mutate genes, true. But our genetic code is huge and we only use a tiny portion of it. Natural populations tend to have a large spread of antagonistic genes activated (bony v.s non-bony stickleback), these mutants are the primary source of variance in the populations response to changing circumstances. The mutants successfully spead their dna, evolution in motion. The point is that the population has a great deal of variance inherent in it anyway, negating the need for potentially catastrophic mutation events to provide the population with the variance it needs.
seanpu, regardless if only 0.01% of new mutations are actually useful and it occurs in a population of several billion, it becomes buried in the population as a whole and can become significantly expressed if pressures permit.
Senpu, it really sounds to me like you have a very basic fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of genes. Your posting makes it sound like you think there's a gene for "arm" or "leg" and an organism can't just "develop" this gene.
That isn't how mutations work, that isn't how genetics work. As someone (Gell-Mann?) once said, you're so far off that you're not only not right, you're not even wrong. (I'm sure I've butchered the quote).
Your point about horizontal gene transfer is a good one -- we're discovering more and more how much viruses are involved in genetic changes. But understand this: EVERY SPECIES ON EARTH has the genetic information necessary to make a feather, or an arm, or a tentacle. Just not in the correct order to do so. In the end, it's just GATC.

While Erdogan Slammed Israel At U.N., Turkish Support For Terror Was Revealed
by Steven Emerson and John Jossomando
Daily Wire
https://steveemerson.com/23375/while-erdogan-slammed-israel-at-un-turkish
This article originally was published Oct. 1 by the Daily Wire.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan used his United Nations General Assembly speech last week to blast Israel as the cause of "injustice" in the Middle East and vow that his country "will continue to stand by the oppressed people of Palestine as she has always done." But a new report by Israel's Meir Amit Intelligence and Information Center, as well as new sanctions announced by the U.S. Treasury Department, make it clear that Erdogan is in no position to cast aspersions.
"Turkey turns a blind eye to Hamas's covert operational and financial activity being carried out from its territory (which has recently been demonstrated in the American sanctions) and regularly denies its existence," the Meir Amit center reported.
"[T]he latest American designations clearly demonstrate that Turkey continues to be used as a hub for Hamas's operational and financial activity, even after the departure of Saleh al-Arouri," the Meir Amit report said. Arouri, a founder of the Hamas military wing and a member of the Hamas political bureau, lived in Turkey until last year.
During his time in Turkey, he helped plot Hamas terror attacks. He claimed credit on behalf of Hamas for the 2014 kidnapping and murder of three Israeli yeshiva students. Later that year, the Shin Bet "uncovered an extensive Hamas military network which operated in Judea and Samaria. Its operatives had planted IEDs in Samaria. They [were] handled by Hamas's headquarters in Turkey," the Meir Amit report said. "Hamas's military operatives who were trained abroad (in various countries, including Turkey) participated in this activity."
For his part, Erdogan considers Hamas a "liberation movement" and denies that it is a terrorist group.
While it supports the Palestinian-Arab cause, Turkey denies autonomy to more than 15 million Kurds and even represses the use of the Kurdish language. It has bombed Kurdish civilians. It occupies much of northwestern Syria and has engaged in ethnic cleansing against the Kurds there. Turkish warplanes bombed a hospital in Afrin during its invasion of the Kurdish enclave last year, independent analysis by Bellingcat, a citizen journalism organization that focuses on war crimes and criminal activities, showed.
Earlier this month, the U.S. Treasury Department announced sanctions on Hamas leaders and ISIS facilitators living in Turkey.
Those include Zaher Jabarin, who heads Hamas' finance office from Turkey and manages tens of millions of dollars in Hamas money. Jabarin's transfers of U.S. dollars "finance HAMAS's terrorist activity," the Treasury statement said. Like Arouri, Jabarin was one of the founders of the Hamas military wing in Judea and Samaria. Jabarin was in charge of a Hamas squad that abducted and murdered Israeli border policeman Nissim Toledano in 1992, the Meir Amit report said.
"Jabarin has served as the primary point of contact between Hamas and the [Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp –Quds Force] IRGC-QF. Since 2017, his relations with them were enhanced based on Hamas operatives' efforts to increase funding from Iran," the report said.
Treasury also targeted the Turkey-based Redin Exchange as "a key part of the infrastructure used to transfer money" to Hamas. Redin transferred $10 million to the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas' military wing, in March.
Redin also facilitated a $2 million transfer last year from the IRGC-QF and Hezbollah to Hamas. Its deputy CEO, Ismail Tash, was the primary contact in numerous Iran-Hamas money transfers, the Meir Amit report found.
Erdogan's inner circle has encouraged bloodshed between Israel and the Palestinians by providing assistance to the al-Qassam Brigades. Israel's Shin Bet arrested two suspects last year linked to the Turkish private military company SADAT, which run by top Erdogan military adviser retired Brig. Gen. Adnan Tanriverdi. It accused them of helping Hamas' military buildup by providing money and weapons to the terrorists. SADAT's website calls for the use of military force against Israel. Meir Amit reported that Jabarin had recruited the men under instructions from Arouri.
"The liaison of Palestine with the globe should not be left at the mercy of Israel. This requires open support by Islamic countries. Every effort should be made, including use of force," SADAT says on its website.
Erdogan presented Turkey as a terrorism fighter, saying Turkey killed ISIS fighters in areas of Syria it occupies. He glossed over Turkey's clandestine support for ISIS in Syria.
"Turkey has been the country most influenced by the [ISIS] threat; this terrorist organization has harassed our borders and targeted our cities very near the borders with suicide bombings that have killed hundreds of Turkish citizens," Erdogan said. "Turkey is the first country that has delivered the heaviest blow to the [ISIS] presence in Syria."
Internal documents and whistleblowers tell a different story — one of a country that plays both sides when it comes to ISIS. Leaked emails from Erdogan's son-in-law and current Turkish finance minister, Berat Albayrak, showed his connection to an ISIS oil smuggling operations.
The Treasury Department sanctions also targeted several Turkish companies that "materially assisted ... or provided financial, material, or technological support" to ISIS.
Turkey's intelligence agency, the MIT, conspired to bus ISIS jihadists across Turkish territory, leaked Turkish wiretaps show. At least 15,000 ISIS fighters entered Syria that way, Abdullah Bozkurt, former editor of Turkey's Today's Zaman newspaper, told the Investigative Project on Terrorism (where we both work) in February.
Turkish police were told not to arrest ISIS fighters traveling to Syria, said former Turkish National Police official Ahmet Yayla.
Turkey provided ISIS with drones and munitions, an ISIS fighter detained by the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) who was interviewed by the International Center for the Study of Violent Extremism said. He and a Palestinian-Arab ISIS fighter held by the SDF said that Turkish hospitals provided medical assistance to wounded ISIS terrorists.
"Like me, thousands of ISIS members have been treated in Turkey. Everyone knows that Turkey is the mother of all jihadist groups," said former ISIS fighter Islam Ahmed Muhammed Balusha. "This applies to the jihadist groups in Syria, Iraq, Libya, and even from Palestine to Afghanistan. Turkey has supported the ISIS massively."
Erdogan's party, the AKP, allegedly used ISIS to attack political opponents.
EU INTCEN, the European Union's intelligence arm, reportedly suggested the AKP ordered an October 2015 ISIS suicide bombing at a peace rally in Ankara that killed 109 people.
Erdogan's pretense of being the savior of the region's problems belies the fact his government has become a major terrorism supporter and is guilty of everything he criticizes Israel of doing.
John Rossomando is a senior analyst at the Investigative Project on Terrorism and Steven Emerson is its executive director.

Engineering student Gilles wins outstanding project award
An engineering student at North Highland College UHI has received the 'Outstanding Student Engineering Project of the Year' from the Institute for Engineering and Technology (IET).
Gilles Favier, from Belgium, was presented with the award by John Blacklock, the Thurso area chair of the IET, along with Dr Peter Hylton, Curriculum Leader for Mechanical Engineering.
Gilles' project explored options for optimising the use of renewable energy sources near his home on the small island of Sanday, Orkney. Dr Peter Hylton commended Gilles' project and said: "Gilles' project is just an example of how our engineering degree students at North Highland College UHI can focus on issues which are unique to Scotland's far north.
"The fact that he completed his degree while living on Sanday, travelling for work on a project with the Red Cross in Africa, emphasises how the flexible nature of our degree program can work for students in unique situations."
"I am extremely happy that he has decided to continue his studies with us through the University of the Highlands and Islands' new MSc in Engineering degree."
Gilles has completed his BEng (Hons) in Mechanical and Energy Engineering with a First award and will be one of the first students to study on the fully online MSc Engineering degree. While completing his degree, Gilles also studied topics in Sustainable Energy Solutions and History and Archaeology with the University of the Highlands and Islands.
Speaking about his studies Gilles said: "I would like to thank the whole academic body for the availability and professionalism they showed during my entire program. The flexibility that North Highland College UHI offers its students, including the ability to follow all courses online, is one of the main reasons why I decided to study with the UHI."
North Highland College UHI is one of thirteen academic partners that make up the University of the Highlands and Islands.

Envy, such a poisonous emotion!
Envy, such a poisonous emotion! Well put, Mark Hamilton, on what envy is, and what it does. We've all seen it, you see someone try to crush another for apparently no reason. And of course, there is a reason–envy. The desire to destroy something or someone else because somehow it or they make that person feel less than, or not good enough, or like there's no way they could have that, make that, look like that, etc. It took me so long to understand this word and emotion, but I do now. I don't think envy will be such a problem in a world where everyone is living their dreams, and has what they need, and can conceive of themselves and others as loving, caring individuals.

See Catherine and William's adorable thank you notes for Charlotte's birthday
Amy Hunt 6 June 2018 4:08 pm
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge leave following the Easter Mattins Service at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, Windsor.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have shared some lovely thank you notes with royal fans, who generously sent over birthday well-wishes to Princess Charlotte.
The young royal recently celebrated her 3rd birthday, on 2nd May. And while the family spent the special day privately, they did take the time to thank their fans, with an adorable note.
Catherine and William sent over sweet thank you cards to everyone who sent Princess Charlotte birthday items, alongside an older picture taken of the royal, by Catherine, on her first day of nursery.
The message on the card then read, 'The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge thank you for so kindly writing as you did to Princess Charlotte on the occasion of her third birthday.
'This was most thoughtful of you, and greatly appreciate by Their Royal Highnesses who you send their best wishes.'
Kensington Palace recently revealed that over the past month, the younger royals have been inundated with messages and gifts from royal fans, keen to share their congraulations for the exciting events that have happened in the last few weeks.
Sharing an inside look at the Palace's post-room, they said, 'Thank you everyone for the beautiful cards and letters following Princess Charlotte's third birthday, the birth of Prince Louis and the wedding of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
'We've received over 36,000 letters in the past month alone 📝'
The Palace's Instagram account also shared an adorable image of a sweet drawing that got sent in to them, of the newly married Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
With Prince Harry's signature ginger beard expertly glued on in felt, and Meghan's glittering wedding tiara made up in sequins – we think it's a pretty brilliant effort.
Thank you everyone for the beautiful cards and letters following Princess Charlotte's third birthday, the birth of Prince Louis and the wedding of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex. We've received over 36,000 letters in the past month alone 📝
A post shared by Kensington Palace (@kensingtonroyal) on Jun 5, 2018 at 8:28am PDT
It's thought that, although the royal family are made aware of correspondence from fans, they do not respond to it all personally.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, for example, regularly send out thank you notes with very similar wording, depending on the occasion. Prince Harry and Meghan also appeared to follow suit, with the thank you cards they sent out after their engagement news was announced.
Catherine and William also sent out similar messages to their well-wishers following their seventh wedding anniversary, on 11th April.
The couple regularly use the same photo for the cards – one taken on their 2016 royal trip to India.

It's a story about...
In March last year, my sisters and I gathered in the south of France where the youngest had moved a few months before.
It was the first time we were away together, just the three of us. Away from our parents. Away from the noise of the past.
The time of squabbling and arguing was over. We rediscovered each other over a weekend. It almost felt like I had just met these two young women.
Turns out, we really got on.
The first night, we talked and we hugged a lot.
We said that even though we now live miles away, we would always support each other. Our childhood may have been messy, but we realised we were now old enough to make our own choices.
We talked about our grandmother, on the English side of the family, and of the things she had taught us. We talked about those moments when all of life seems bad, and we laughed about the fact the three of us do the same thing: we make a cup of tea, and by the time the teabag is in place, by the time the water is boiled and poured, we already feel a little bit better. It's our Englishness.
We decided to get a matching tattoo.
We didn't talk about it much. One of my sisters scribbled on the back of a receipt from a cafe.
We would all get a tiny cup of tea, with its steam bringing warmth towards our hearts.
It's a story about a promise. A secret pact.
It's a story about becoming an adult.
It's a story about three young women realising they will never be alone.

I shared one of my secrets on how I manage my blog, or publicize it, back then. So I just thought of getting deeper into this, and show you a peek inside my books that I use exclusively for my blog.
I've become obsessed with planners. Though I don't use one for my personal use this year, but there's surely a new planner coming for the next one! And I'm so much excited to share it with you guys.
This brown coloured classy planner that you see, was given to my father as a complimentary from his company, in 2011. And I use this as my planner of 2013! This task was a bit tough, but at least I got a classy wooden-styled planner.
I used some of my Visiting Cards to write BLOG PLANNER on the book. I've got the habit of underlining important topics or important words, and I inherited it from my grandfather!
Month of October 2013. All I did to change the 2011 to 2013 was overwrite 2011 with 2013 and changing the days!
I write the next day's posts to be written. The reason why there is lot of chaos is because I used this book as my doodle-filled-time-pass book.
I just used a plain beige coloured notebook as my Blog Book. I write the post's name and where it is publicized (i.e. on various social networks), in it. I do this just to keep a record for myself.
There are just 32 posts written here, however the blog has more than 85 posts. I made this book too late.
And, a perfect place to keep these books. near my computer!

Recycling out early for Glastonbury Festival
Residents near Glastonbury Festival are being asked to put their recycling out early to ensure smooth collections as the event returns after a year off.
Somerset Waste Partnership (SWP), which manages recycling and rubbish collections, is keen to reassure residents that there are no changes planned during the festival, which runs from Wednesday 26 to Sunday 30 June.
SWP is liaising closely with Somerset Highways to avoid traffic problems for collections around the Festival, most of which take place on Thursdays and Fridays, with weekly recycling and garden waste collected in the week of the event.
SWP managing director Mickey Green is asking for people's support during this year's festival to make sure everything goes to plan and delays are avoided.
He said: "We're keen to ensure that collections run as smoothly as possible during the festival and that any inconvenience to householders is kept to an absolute minimum, so we're asking for people's help this year.
"Putting recycling and bins out the night before (or sorting in advance and taking to a recycle site) can really help the crews start collections earlier, making sure that everyone's recycling and rubbish gets collected when it should."
SWP is giving the following additional tips to keep everything running smoothly:
Ensure all bin lids are closed with no extra rubbish outside the bin
Separate recycle box items (without using carrier bags) to speed up pick-ups
Rinse containers and squash everything except glass and aerosols
Check for updates on SWP's website and social media sites
If they have time and transport, residents can, of course, visit local recycle sites:
Frome, open seven days, 9am-6pm weekdays, 9am-4pm Saturday-Sunday.
Wells, open 9am-6pm Monday-Wednesday-Thursday-Friday, 9am-4pm Saturday-Sunday.
Cheddar and Street, open 9am-6pm Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday, 9am-4pm Saturday-Sunday.
Somerton, open 9am-6pm Wednesday-Thursday-Friday, 9am-4pm Saturday-Sunday.
Castle Cary, open 9am-6pm Monday-Tuesday, 9am-4pm Saturday-Sunday.
Residents can find details of collection days, services and recycle sites.

What do you picture in your mind when you think of Tuscany? Is it images of green rolling hills, towering cypress trees, curvy roadways, fortified farms, vineyards and sun-soaked hilltop towns? The quintessential Italian experience is just that – it is rustic, laid-back, scenic and peaceful. It is where you escape to; to slow down and appreciate great food, wine and lifestyle. The best part of Tuscany is that you can plan your trip around your passions and let that be your guide. Whether you are a foodie and want to enjoy simple yet delicious cuisine and wine, or maybe you are a history or architecture buff and want to see where the Italian Renaissance all started, or love art history, or cycling; or are a sun worshipper and want to experience the Tuscan coastline. Whatever the reason, you will find it and more. We decided to somewhat abandon our itinerary and just slow down. Let me share.
For us, it always starts with finding the perfect home base. I love finding those special properties that often become the highlight of our trip. The Siena House did just that. It is a large villa property beautifully restored to accentuate the authentic Tuscan features both inside and out. The modern interior is light, bright and airy. Every window is strategically placed to highlight the mesmerizing panoramic views. Our wonderful hosts, Malvin and Amanda, were incredibly welcoming and make staying at their property not just an accommodation but an experience. We were provided a tour of the property which encompasses 4 guest rooms (ours was called Siena), a large lounge, a mezzanine, a pool and an outdoor summer kitchen. Depending on the weather, your delicious breakfast prepared by Malvin, will be served outside or inside in the large dining space.
Upon arrival, we were treated to a bottle of champagne and light snack situated to watch the Tuscan sun slowly starting to fade. It is a wonderful memory that still lingers today.
The large pool is surrounded by the uninterrupted Tuscan views.
Siena House is well-situated in making many of the sought-after towns a short drive away. Some of our best memories were driving those super-scenic small roads that linked together the views, villages and vineyards. Here were some of the towns we were fortunate enough to visit.
Closest to Siena House, only a short 10 minutes away, is a lovely small village that offers a few traditional shops, restaurants and wine tasting cellars (we liked La Gatta Vecchia). This area is known for its full-bodied red grapes, and there are many varieties to sample. The Piazza Grande shines bright with marble and travertine, it is small but worth seeing.
About 20 minutes from Siena House, this small hilltop town and a UNESCO World Heritage site is infamous for its Pecorino di Pienza, a hard sheep's milk cheese. I immediately fell in love with this small, quiet, romantic town. Wander the delightful narrow stone streets, its inviting piazzas and breathtaking views, this is definitely a town you need to visit. Click here to read my post on Pienza.
Just over 30 minutes away from Siena House, it looks and feels a bit different than the other towns we visited. It is a stone-clad town – with one magnificent medieval tower, a larger and busier piazza, perfect for people watching, chock full of winding alleyways to wander and many stylish shops (I eyed a leather jacket in the window, and still to this day, regret not buying it). Under the Tuscan Sun, first the book and then the movie, put this town on the map; and for good reason, you will definitely want to visit here.
A bit farther from Siena House, at about 45 minutes away, is a larger city full of museums, art galleries, antique markets, fine shops, monuments, and historical buildings. This city was the backdrop to the movie Life is Beautiful where in the historic city center you will instantly recognize some of the locations like the piazza, the Palazzo delle Logge and a couple of the churches or basilica. Although we did prefered the smaller towns, we understand why many will add this city to their must-visit list.
The farthest away from Siena House, by almost an hour, is the city of Siena. This large medieval and gothic city cannot be missed. At its center, is the incredible Piazza Il Campo, the red palazzo pubblico and its tower, but then venture off and get lost in the winding alleyways, as there is a lot to discover. Of all the cities, this was the most touristy, but how could you not come to this area and see it.
Tuscany is definitely one of those destinations that you are sad to leave and you long to return to. Our short visit of 4 days was not nearly enough. Do we wish to return? Absolutely…hopefully one day soon.
It looks dreamy! Beautiful pictures.
Great, I am glad this was helpful. Happy travels!
You have me longing to visit Tuscany. I'm tucking this post in my back pocket for when we finally start planning. The Siena House looks perfect for our family. I love that its in the Tuscan landscape but still just a short drive away from beautiful cities that we would definitely want to explore.
I am so happy that this may have inspired some future travel plans. Siena House is such a wonderful place to stay, check out their website for the entire set of photos. Feel free to reach out if you would like any further advice. Happy travels!
These photos are just dreamy, I love that combination of rolling hillsides and rustic towns with so much history and such beautiful architecture. This is a region of Italy we've not managed to visit just yet but looking at these images we really do need to get there!
Tuscany is such a large region in Italy, that it really does require some time or multiple trips to explore. I hope you get to see it one day. Thank you for your kind words.
Oh man! Montepulciano is one of my favorite wines. So cool to see the area. Thanks for this.
You are quite welcome. If that is your favourite wine, then you need to one day visit. The wine cellars are plentiful and a great way to taste the different varieties. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Yes, Tuscany is all that and more. If you had the time, I recommend that you include it as part of your trip and offset it with being in a big city, like Rome. It is incredibly scenic and relaxing, and offers great food and wine as well. I hope you get there one day soon!
Doesn't hurt does it? We are planning a trip in the near future to visit Umbria. That has been on my list. Hope you get there one day soon!
Never been to Europe yet and if ever our chances will bring us there I want to make it to Paris, Italy, Venice and France. I love the pictures it is enticing to look at and it's one of our bucket lists! Thanks for the info!
Thank you for commenting April, and hope you get to travel to Europe. No matter the country, it offers a diverse range of options and all with an incredible about of history.
Siena was one of my first travel adventures in 2010, it sprung my love for traveling and discovering the world. Thank you SO much for taking me down memory lane, the photos are stunning.
I am glad it sparked some memories for you. Siena was a great city to visit, so much different than the others. Loved the gothic feel of the city and history. Thanks for commenting.
Tuscany towns are very interesting and beautiful as they have a perfect blend of beautiful nature and Italian countryside living. The architecture of Pienza and Cortona looks splendid.
You are exactly right…and they are never too far away from a big city, in this case Florence! I really did fall in love with both Cortona and Pienza. Thanks for commenting!
What beautiful landscapes! I can totally see myself relaxing here, wine in-hand…. It sounds like you had a marvelous time, and the pictures are wonderful!
That is exactly the point Brianna, to slow down, relax and enjoy life…which is all about food and wine in Tuscany. Hopefully you get to visit it one day! Thanks so much for stopping by and reading the post!
I loved exploring this region, the rolling hills of the countryside, the vineyards and of course the main city, Siena, so beautiful perched on top of the hill. I spent quite a bit of time here in the non-tourist season with good weather and enjoyed every moment of it.
Glad to hear that you have experienced this region as well, and enjoyed Siena. Thanks for sharing your experiences as well.

This is terrible i still can't believe it!
We were sitting on the M50 this evening, the traffic was terrible, mile long tailbacks.
The Gardai were there trying to direct traffic and sort out the mess. I noticed they were going from car to car with buckets.
eventually one got to our car.
I rolled down the window and said "Hello, what's up?"
The guard says to me "there's a van load of pensioners, teachers and IT consultants up ahead, they're holding Brian Cowen, Mary Harney , Batt O'Keefe and Brian Lenihan hostage.
"They said that unless they sort out the country they're gonna cover them in petrol and set them all on fire! So I'm doing a collection for them."
"Oh jesus" says I, "how much is everyone giving?"
"1 or 2 litres should be enough" says he
Heard that the other day, just had to share

title: Configure AWS Amplify
date: 2017-01-12 12:00:00
lang: en
ref: configure-aws-amplify
description: We are going to use the information of our AWS resources to configure AWS Amplify in our React app. We'll call the Amplify.configure() method when our app first loads.
comments_id: configure-aws-amplify/151
---

In this section we are going to allow our users to login and sign up for our app. To do this we are going to start connecting the AWS resources that we created in the backend section.

To do this we'll be using a library called [AWS Amplify](https://github.com/aws/aws-amplify). AWS Amplify provides a few simple modules (Auth, API, and Storage) to help us easily connect to our backend.

### Install AWS Amplify

{%change%} Run the following command in the `frontend/` directory and **not** in your project root.

``` bash
$ npm install aws-amplify
```

This installs the NPM package and adds the dependency to the `package.json` of your React app..

### Create a Config

Let's first create a configuration file for our app that'll reference all the resources we have created.

{%change%} Create a file at `src/config.js` and add the following.

``` js
const config = {
  // Backend config
  s3: {
    REGION: process.env.REACT_APP_REGION,
    BUCKET: process.env.REACT_APP_BUCKET,
  },
  apiGateway: {
    REGION: process.env.REACT_APP_REGION,
    URL: process.env.REACT_APP_API_URL,
  },
  cognito: {
    REGION: process.env.REACT_APP_REGION,
    USER_POOL_ID: process.env.REACT_APP_USER_POOL_ID,
    APP_CLIENT_ID: process.env.REACT_APP_USER_POOL_CLIENT_ID,
    IDENTITY_POOL_ID: process.env.REACT_APP_IDENTITY_POOL_ID,
  },
};

export default config;
```

Here we are loading the environment that are set from our serverless backend. We did this back when we were first [setting up our React app]({% link _chapters/create-a-new-reactjs-app.md %}).

### Add AWS Amplify

Next we'll set up AWS Amplify.

{%change%} Import it by adding the following to the header of your `src/index.js`.

``` js
import { Amplify } from 'aws-amplify';
```

And import the config we created above.

{%change%} Add the following, also to the header of your `src/index.js`.

``` js
import config from './config';
```

{%change%} And to initialize AWS Amplify; add the following above the `ReactDOM.render` line in `src/index.js`.

``` js
Amplify.configure({
  Auth: {
    mandatorySignIn: true,
    region: config.cognito.REGION,
    userPoolId: config.cognito.USER_POOL_ID,
    identityPoolId: config.cognito.IDENTITY_POOL_ID,
    userPoolWebClientId: config.cognito.APP_CLIENT_ID
  },
  Storage: {
    region: config.s3.REGION,
    bucket: config.s3.BUCKET,
    identityPoolId: config.cognito.IDENTITY_POOL_ID
  },
  API: {
    endpoints: [
      {
        name: "notes",
        endpoint: config.apiGateway.URL,
        region: config.apiGateway.REGION
      },
    ]
  }
});
```

A couple of notes here.

- Amplify refers to Cognito as `Auth`, S3 as `Storage`, and API Gateway as `API`.

- The `mandatorySignIn` flag for `Auth` is set to true because we want our users to be signed in before they can interact with our app.

- The `name: "notes"` is basically telling Amplify that we want to name our API. Amplify allows you to add multiple APIs that your app is going to work with. In our case our entire backend is just one single API.

- The `Amplify.configure()` is just setting the various AWS resources that we want to interact with. It isn't doing anything else special here beside configuration. So while this might look intimidating, just remember this is only setting things up.

### Commit the Changes

{%change%} Let's commit our code so far and push it to GitHub.

``` bash
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Setting up our React app"
$ git push
```

Next up, we are going to work on creating our login and sign up forms.

Businessman finds perfect work-life balance in his garden | News by Wales Express News, People Before Profit!
A businessman is master-minding his multi-million international company from his garden – thanks a bespoke home office, created using aviation technology.
Nick Wright and his wife Paula run Resdev Ltd, which makes and installs high-spec industrial resin flooring for pharmaceutical and food companies through to car park decks from its base on Ainleys Industrial Estate, Elland in West Yorkshire.
The company's global contracts means Nick often needs to speak to suppliers and customers, such as Kellogg and Coca Cola, on the other side of the world during the evening.
His luxury five-bedroomed home in Barkisland now sports a fully-equipped home office, built by Rubicon Garden Rooms, which means Nick can now broker international deals while spending time with his family.
The bespoke office doubles up as a family den, with a pool table for his teenage son Harry and daughter Fiona, 12, plus a comfy sofa for Paula to catch-up on reading, and a wine cooler for parties to enjoy the wonderful views across the countryside.
The new building was made by North Wales firm Rubicon Garden Rooms – founder John Lyon was inspired by his 20 years as an engineer at plane manufacturer Airbus to develop a zero-maintenance wood fibre composite material.
Rubicon's bespoke top-of-the-range units are now used for everything from home offices to art or music rooms, yoga studios, teenage dens and annexes for dependent relatives.
Nick said: "Here in the garden room I can switch the laptop on and keep up with conference calls at any time, which is important as we have manufacturers in America and the Far East.
"I have to be available at all sorts of times, as I'm dealing with different time zones and working days, all the time.
"Having this Rubicon room just gives us a bit extra space and lets me get away from the house when I need to.
"For example, when I have to deal with America it is often early evening here and that's never a quiet time for any family," added Nick, whose previous study has now been made into a recording study for 19-year-old Harry.
"As we have extensive grounds around the house, we decided to use some of the outside space and this spot has picturesque views across the valley, so it was ideal.
"They were great," said Nick. "They cleared up after themselves every day and I couldn't fault them at all.
The 295 sq ft building has double doors and two windows, fully integrated broadband and phone networks wired in to the framework, a security system, heating, sound proofing, insulation and top of the range lighting systems – all controlled at the touch of a button.
It is one of the company's most popular formats for a home office, said Rubicon managing director John Lyon.
He added: "There is an increasing rise in the number of business people who want to work from home part of the time – whether they run their own company, such as Nick, or work for somebody else.
Nick was born in Leeds and briefly trained as a chef before taking over Resdev Ltd, founded by his father John in 1978, which manufactures specialist seamless, hygienic, epoxy and polyurethane resin floor, wall and car park decking systems for application throughout UK and worldwide.
It exports to more than 25 countries, supplying food factories, warehouses, printing facilities, dairies, car plants, car parks, offices and conference and retail complexes.
The business has thrived, with Nick securing contracts with big names such as Kellogg and Coca Cola worth hundreds of thousands of pounds. It was named in the London Stock Exchange's 1,000 Companies to Inspire Britain report, which celebrated the fastest-growing and most dynamic small and medium-sized enterprises in the UK.
Rubicon Garden Rooms has more than 10 years of experience in the building industry, and specialises in the manufacture and installation of garden buildings to create home offices, annexes for older relatives and teenagers, music studios, and leisure buildings.

Should I Install Spore (and its RootKit)?
September 9, 2008 by Ryan Jones
Back when all the hype was new, I pre-ordered a copy of Spore from Amazon. Now that I've got it, I noticed it has the Rootkit DRM installed on it. Basically, installing Spore installs what can be described as a virus along with it. This virus runs in the background every time you start up your computer, and it doesn't get removed if you uninstall the game.
As if that's not restrictive enough, EA also limited the game to 3 installs – each one phoning home to check if you're allowed to install it. For people like me who still play games that are well over 10 years old (for nostalgic value) that means I eventually won't be able to play Spore. Who's to say that in 4 years EA will keep up the verification server? That will render my copy of the game useless.
I'm not buying Spore, like I thought I did. I'm only renting it.
I honestly don't know if I should install this or not, as the only way to remove the rootkit is to re-format your computer.
By the way, I'm not alone. There's over 1500 negative reviews on Amazon.
The Cheat says
Meh!
See if you can get a refund.
Sherman says
Spore is alot of fun. Players who pirate the game don't get the online stuff, like sporepedia and background downloads of other players creations. If the ea activation is like microsofts then the counter resets over time. Having 10,000's of players pirate the game doesn't help the anti drm cause, it just gives ea ammo in the fight aginst game piracy.
Hey Sherman. Pirating the game was never an option for me. As a software developer myself I don't pirate software or music. I may not agree with the industry's actions, but the further they dig themselves into a hole the more opportunties they open up for people who "get it"
I ended up installing it – and the game isn't that great. I was hoping for it to be more MMORP like World of Warcraft.
I played for little over an hour and got partway through the tribes stage before I got bored. The tribes part is like age of empires, only a lot crappier with a lot less options.
I hope the space stage is cool though, i've heard what's where the real game is at.
Edwin says
I'm sorry it was boring for you; you may just be too hard-core a gamer for such light entertainment?
Me, I haven't played games much lately, so I found the game to be a delightful diversion. The early stages are pretty easy, on "easy" mode especially, and it gets a lot more involved once you reach space.
For each stage, I'm sure there are existing games that do the same basic thing, but with more intricacy. One of the things I really like about Spore, however, is the ability to create the visual aspects — building the creature, the buildings, the vehicles, everything.
It's as much a toy as a game; with enough game to keep me engaged, and a lot of variations on how you can play your character.
Anyway, I liked it.

Lend a hand for flood victims
In the weeks since Hurricane Florence brought historic, catastrophic flooding to the Carolinas, the national news headlines have been dominated by the Supreme Court confirmation battle. But thousands of residents affected by the storm will be feeling its effects long after the current headlines pass and new ones take their place.
Making landfall early Sept. 14, Florence stalled out over the Southeast coast, dumping almost 3 feet of rain on Elizabeth City and becoming the wettest tropical cyclone ever recorded in North Carolina. The storm claimed at least 53 lives, with damage estimated at more than $38 billion.
Now a local group is organizing a donation drive, collecting supplies to be delivered to Bladen and Pender counties. This is a mostly rural area where people lost homes, vehicles, businesses and most of the year's harvest.
Residents can drop supplies at the former Food Lion on Greenville Highway from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily through Wednesday, except for Sunday when donations will be accepted from 1 to 4 p.m.
A long list of supplies is needed, including paper goods, hygiene products, baby formula, diapers and supplies, paper plates, rubber and work gloves, cleaning supplies, trash bags, canned food and can openers, toys for kids, and tools including hammers, rakes, shovels and crowbars.
Last year, alumni from the University of Texas and Texas A&M, along with the Transylvania Car Club, local car clubs and members of the Henderson County Republican Party, organized an effort to get relief supplies to the victims of Hurricane Harvey in Texas. The same group, spearheaded by Bruce Hatfield, a retired Army officer and Texas Ex (the official alumni association for the University of Texas at Austin), are now collecting supplies for victims of Hurricane Florence's flooding.
Volunteers are needed to help sort and pack items and transport them to Elizabethtown, which is about a five-hour drive. For more information, contact Hatfield at 828-329-4971 or via email at noirs@aol.com.
People who want to help out monetarily can contribute to the North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund. The fund will support nonprofit organizations and local governments that are working to address immediate and short-term needs of survivors. Donations can be made online at governor.nc.gov/donate-florence-recovery or by texting FLORENCE to 20222. Or you can send a check to N.C. Disaster Relief Fund, 20312 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699.
All donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. The United Way of North Carolina is collecting the funds, and the Golden LEAF Foundation will be responsible for disbursing them.
People who are willing and able to travel to assist Hurricane Florence flood victims can learn about volunteer opportunities at VolunteerNC.org. Volunteers are needed to serve meals at relief shelters, to gather and distribute supplies, and to help repair damaged homes.
These are some of the ways that those of us fortunate enough to live in the mountains, far from the storm's wrath, can show our concern for folks at the other end of our state.


There's an opportunity that you simply're not completely positive the place Kansas Metropolis is. If true, this can be for one in all two causes.
First, there's its identify. The Kansas Metropolis that I'm referring to is in Missouri, not Kansas—though a Kansas Metropolis, Kansas (or "KCK," to locals) does exist, simply reverse the Missouri-Kansas border. With out partaking the inevitably contentious debate over which is the superior Kansas Metropolis, it's value mentioning that KCMO has a inhabitants of about 490,000, in comparison with KCK's extra modest 153,000.
There's additionally the truth that you would possibly not likely know the place, precisely, Missouri is. Except you grew up there—or, say, attended Wash U (one other Missouri place with a vaguely deceptive identify)—its spot on a map is hardly apparent. I, for one, was fairly positive that Missouri was a type of states jammed shoulder-to-shoulder under the Mason–Dixon line, like Georgia and Alabama. (Evidently, till earlier this month I knew nothing of its contiguity with Kansas.) I imagined my flight path to Kansas Metropolis Worldwide Airport roughly following that to Raleigh-Durham—suggesting, I feel, that I had my vacation spot confused with Mississippi.
Ignorance that vigorous is tough to clarify away, however there's something to be stated in regards to the socio-political scenario in Kansas Metropolis proper now. My East Coast, liberal bias might be blamed for lots, however as one particular person put it to me throughout my go to, there's a "tradition of contradiction" enveloping Kansas Metropolis. Author Sarah Kendzior tapped into it on Twitter shortly after the midterms, remarking, "Missouri voted for progressive poll measures—elevating the minimal wage, medical marijuana, marketing campaign finance reform, and in August, an amazing vote to guard unions—after which voted for GOP candidates who wish to strike these similar insurance policies down." The issue for me in pinning town down geographically is mirrored in a broader ideological incertitude; a present questioning of the state's id and place.
Kansas Metropolis's cultural historical past is, in a means, the cultural historical past of America itself. The place there are actually hulking brick warehouses, predominantly within the Missouri River-adjacent West Bottoms neighborhood, there have been as soon as acres of stockyards; the corporatized remnants of a prairie previous.Institutionalized racism has forged a protracted shadow there; the distinguished actual property developer Jesse Clyde "J. C." Nichols, acknowledged for devising whole Kansas Metropolis neighborhoods (and provoking many extra all through the nation), patently promoted racial segregation. (That his identify adorns buildings and avenue indicators citywide has change into a hot-button concern.) It has that classically knotty dichotomy between the tony, well-groomed suburbs and artsy, sort of rough-around-the-edges downtown. Plus, the Hallmark firm was based in Kansas Metropolis; Walt Disney discovered to attract on the Kansas Metropolis Artwork Institute; and the AMC chain—initially Durwood Theatres—began there in 1920, on 12th Avenue between Walnut and Grand.
One will get the sense that it's a little bit of an island—a lone voice within the wilderness, if you'll. Its thriving arts scene and progressive politics aren't par for the course all through the state. Individuals from KC will snub their noses at St. Louis (greater than as soon as, I used to be knowledgeable that as not too long ago as 2001, the Klu Klux Klan was allowed to "undertake" a stretch of the I-55 over there); and level with pleasure to Sly James, their black mayor. When folks go away Kansas Metropolis, they go away your entire area; an ironic impact of the low price of residing there. (The likelihood to remain turns into, successfully, a possibility to go.) They fly west to San Francisco, or east to New York; generally north to Chicago or south to Austin. In that means, Kansas Metropolis figures as the middle of a cosmopolitan compass; trying in all instructions however fixedly, complexly itself.
Nonetheless, there's an consciousness that town is slowly increasing. Although folks nonetheless principally drive, the revealing of a brand new, free cable automobile in 2016, together with the rampant reputation of Chook, a scooter-sharing program, means that that will quickly change. Some say that Kansas Metropolis is having a renaissance—that persons are lastly taking discover of its lovely deserted buildings, its underutilized parks and waterfront, and its world-class artwork museums (together with the forged of Queer Eye, who're filming there now)—however that, like every thing else, comes at a value.
On paper, Kansas Metropolis Worldwide's $1.three billion terminal enlargement is unbelievable; few issues sign a vibrant economic system like a shiny, new airport. Ask locals in regards to the challenge, nevertheless, and so they'll in all probability begin to grumble. Because it stands, KCI's small measurement makes it astonishingly straightforward to navigate—one thing that tacking on 39 new gates, unfold out over 1,000,000 sq. ft, appears prone to affect. Attempt as Kansas Metropolis would possibly to refute its characterization as a sleepy, outsized city, there's a basic inclination there to maintain issues as they're, easy and unvarnished. It's slightly in limbo. Probably the most closely commercialized elements of city—those that may be mistaken for downtown Philadelphia at a look—are virtually deserted by 5:00 p.m. A lot most well-liked is the neighborhood hangout; the one reached solely via an alleyway, or simply past the overpass, or that turned so standard by phrase of mouth that it was lastly pressured to get a liquor license. The locations the place visitors have seen the proprietor's youngsters (and pets) develop up.
The tradition in Kansas Metropolis thrives on particular person endeavor, which manifests itself visually within the colourful dissonance of its varied painted murals and its residential neighborhoods with 100 completely different architectural types. It's a sprawling, real-time manifestation of the American experiment; the dream of creating a distinct segment that additionally helps to maintain the collective—no matter that collective finally ends up trying like. Right here, a information to exploring a few of these niches and experiencing simply a few of what town has to supply.
Comprised of the previous Pabst constructing (a one-time bottling and distribution plant for Pabst Brewing Co.) and the Pendergast Constructing (as soon as leased by the political boss Tom Pendergast), the Crossroads Resort embraces trendy, boutique-hotel stylish with out depreciating its roots.
The lodge boasts 131 snug rooms and suites, three food-and-beverage ideas (together with a rooftop beer backyard, poised to open within the spring), varied occasion areas, and a 2,000-square-foot gallery, the place future artists in residence will show their work. Named for the encompassing Crossroads Arts District, an space saturated with galleries and artist's studios, Crossroads prioritizes an engagement with creatives. Hesse McGraw, a accomplice and principal at El Dorado, the Kansas Metropolis-based structure agency that designed the lodge, will not be an architect by commerce, however a curator, with a background in arts management at nonprofits.
"The massive irony in my profession is that I used to be at all times extra thinking about what artists might do past the gallery house," McGraw says. "What El Dorado is basically working in the direction of is partaking artists within the metropolis, and desirous about the sorts of affect artists can and may have within the public realm." At Crossroads, the plan is to work primarily with locals; folks "who're a part of the ecology of the artists' group in Kansas Metropolis," McGraw says. Presently put in within the gallery are works by the painter and sculptor Rashawn Griffin, a KC native (he and McGraw went to the identical highschool) whose large-scale canvases and graphic colorways have traveled the world.
Indicators of the lodge's industrial historical past are in all places—within the uncovered bricks; the still-visible labels for Pabst's previous loading docks; the metal beams and poured concrete flooring. "The [Pabst] constructing was an entire wreck earlier than," McGraw says. "It was completely down on its luck, and actually wanted some care. And it appears to me that that's what [the hotel group] Aparium does. They discover these diamonds within the tough, and take the transformation significantly." El Dorado's strategy to refashioning the house, McGraw says, "was to strip away the layers—to attempt to pull it again to the unique character—after which discover a couple of alternatives to actually categorical what's particular in regards to the constructing." Living proof, the so-called "atrium" on the lodge's heart; a sort of inside courtyard the place the Pabst constructing's 100-year-old floorboards have been repurposed as wooden cladding. On the Pendergast facet of the lodge, two former vaults have been artfully transformed: one, to a non-public eating room for Lazia, the lodge's just-opened dinner-only Italian restaurant, and the opposite, as a part of the 550-square-foot Vault Suite on the second flooring.
"One of many values of Kansas Metropolis has at all times been its particular neighborhoods," McGraw says. "In order you begin to transfer from Crossroads to Midtown, or Crossroads to the West Bottoms, neighborhoods have their very own character and spirit." Arts lovers would do nicely to wander the Crossroads Arts District, the place the Leedy-Voulkos Artwork Middle, the Blue Gallery, Haw Up to date (which has one other location a mile west), and the Kim Weinberger Gallery are all located. A string of charming boutiques—locations like Foxtrot Provide Co., the place the small leather-based items are crafted onsite; Coki Bijoux, which affords tastefully minimal fantastic jewellery; Kanso, a vendor in Scandinavian and Japanese house items; and the up to date vogue and design retailers Pricey Society and Effective People—are additionally close by; together with the effortlessly cool Inexperienced Girl Lounge and Mutual Musicians Basis, long-standing jazz golf equipment. (Nota bene: Charlie Parker, Rely Basie, and Ben Webster have been all born in Kansas Metropolis.) Favor to vintage? Head on to the West Bottoms, the place mid-century trendy furnishings, classic lighting fixtures, previous vinyl data, and all types of different odds and ends crowd Restoration Emporium, Stuffology, and Good Ju Ju. (Must you want a chunk to eat between retailers, a fleet of meals vehicles tends to linger shut.) On the first Friday of every month, these and different companies throughout town prolong their hours, courting guests late into the night time.
Just a few different worthwhile stops: the stately Nelson-Atkins Museum (with its now-iconic large shuttlecocks, sculpted by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, scattered exterior); the Kemper Museum of Up to date Artwork (the biggest assortment of its variety within the state) and Free Park, the 75-acre former golf course.
The meals scene in Kansas Metropolis is remarkably nuanced. The barbecue joints, after all, are legion. In accordance with one supply, Kansas Metropolis-style barbecue is "dry rub-spiced, sluggish roasted hour after hour over a pit of hickory, and slathered up throughout with a few of the smoothest, richest, sweetly tangiest sauces in all of the world. Thickest, too, for that matter"—and among the many eateries stated to do it greatest are L.C.'s Bar-B-Q and Q39 on the Missouri facet, and Joe's Kansas Metropolis Bar-B-Que and Slap's BBQ in KCK.
In any other case, Kansas Metropolis performs host to a lot of James Beard Award-winning cooks—Colby Garrelts at Bluestem; Celina Tio at The Belfry; Michael Smith at Farina, opening in January—in addition to new and rising abilities. At Novel, an intimate, El Dorado-designed spot on a nondescript nook, chef Ryan Brazeal has based a robust popularity on trendy American small plates. (In the event you can, attempt the Tomato Ceviche with watermelon, cantaloupe, and popcorn on your starter.) The identical could possibly be stated of husband-and-wife pair Nicholas and Leslie Goellner, though their influences at The Antler Room are extra worldwide; the menu is refined but approachable (an "Acorn Squash Scarpinocc" with guanciale, quince, brown butter, and sage, for instance, is actually simply acorn squash ravioli, and it's scrumptious), and the wine listing (which features a number of orange wines), strong.
The place cocktails are involved, essentially the most anticipated new bar in Kansas Metropolis could also be The Campground, which for years operated out of Christopher and Cristin Ciesiel's again shed. (Christopher, who solely not too long ago resigned as a registered nurse, was an beginner home-brewer.) Impressed by aperitivo-style bar-slash-restaurants like Dante in Greenwich Village, The Campground will focus on martinis and negronis, and have a pared-down, vegetable-focused menu. (It opens early subsequent month.) For all of its masculine sophistication—the darkish partitions, the gleaming copper-topped bar—the Ciesiels plan to maintain it open many of the day, from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., which ought to appeal to a full of life combine of individuals. From high to backside, it simply doesn't get extra Kansas Metropolis than this.


of grating. First, we studied the reversibility of optical path of grating illuminated by monochromatic light, and then illuminated by polychromatic light. We found that the optical path of diffraction of grating has partial reversibility. Using the partial reversibility of optical path of diffraction of grating, we analyzed the spectral combination characteristic of grating and the bi-grating diffraction imaging effect.
