It only took 13 years, but Fernando Alonso finally claimed a third world championship at the weekend.
Aston Martin Valkyrie to race at Le Mans in 2021
It wasn't the F1 title he so desperately craves, but the World Endurance Championship -- the pinnacle of sports car racing -- with the dominant Toyota team, capped off in style with a second career victory at the prestigious Le Mans 24 Hours.
Alonso has no desire to return to F1 any time soon, at least until he has a chance of winning a third championship there. He also will not immediately return to WEC, saying on Sunday "I want to be a little bit more open for my options for next year". He certainly won't be short on those and now has plenty of time to weigh them all up.
Here's a look at the most obvious, and the more left-field, available to him.
Indy 500, Part III
Alonso's second Le Mans victory will have only fueled his desire to return to Indianapolis. He already had two-thirds of the Triple Crown, but it seemed like a fitting way to cap off his successful season with Toyota -- while he is yet to win at the Brickyard, he now has two wins apiece at Monaco (2006 and 2007) and at Le Mans (2018 and 2019).
Alonso and McLaren's second attempt at the Indy 500 this year ended in pitiful circumstances in May. The Spaniard failed to qualify for the event after a string of remarkable blunders by his team, including a test delayed because the team did not have a steering wheel and complications around the spare car being painted the wrong shade of orange.
The comedy of errors that led to Fernando Alonso's Indy 500 nightmare
The whole saga raised questions about McLaren's preparations, although CEO Zak Brown has ruled out his team joining IndyCar full time in 2020. It seems more likely the team will attempt to enter Alonso in additional races early next year in order to better prepare him and the team for the Indy 500.

McLaren has already paved the way for an easier return -- Andreas Seidl has finally started as boss of the F1 team, freeing up former Indy 500 winner Gil de Ferran (now McLaren's sporting director) to take a more hands-on approach to any future involvement in the race, as he did ahead of Alonso's debut there in 2017. Brown has already admitted De Ferran was not involved enough this time around.
Regardless of McLaren's readiness, the Indy 500 will be the toughest challenge of Alonso's career so far, such is the randomness of the outcome and the difficulty drivers of every calibre have of winning. But there is no doubt he will be back and, despite the failure of May this year, it seems unlikely he would make his third attempt to win the Borg-Warner Trophy without the backing of McLaren.
However, he refused to commit to anything after this year's failure.
"Right now I think it's difficult to make any promise," Alonso said. "It's just too soon to make decisions.
"I don't know even what I will do after the Le Mans 24 hours, finish my program in the World Endurance Championship, and I wanted to have 2020 open because I don't know exactly what opportunities may come for me for next year in terms of racing.
"So, I don't know -- until I know the program for next year, I cannot promise or have any idea in my mind. But as I always say, I would be more than happy to race here again in the future and to win the Triple Crown, which is still a target."
So what else could fill Alonso's 2020 calendar?
Formula E? Rally?
Formula E founder Alejandro Agag has made little secret of his desire to get Alonso to race an all-electric car one day. Agag admitted the series' 2019-20 campaign was most likely, mindful of him wrapping up his WEC duties with Toyota, although his fellow Spaniard has always seemed fairly lukewarm to the idea.
Formula E is ambitious enough to lure Alonso over. The series is rapidly developing its race cars -- drivers are no longer required to swap vehicles midway through each event, for example, and its 'Generation 2' car is clearly a big step up on its predecessor. Whether or not Alonso sees it as a challenge he needs to take on remains to be seen, especially given the wealth of other options which would be open to him.
Alonso previously teased some form of NASCAR involvement with series legend Jimmie Johnson. The pair swapped cars at an event in Bahrain last November, with Alonso getting time behind the wheel of Johnson's Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet.

Earlier this year, David Wilson, the head of Toyota's U.S. racing arm, hinted at a desire to get Alonso involved in a NASCAR road course race in future. Wilson's quotes were very revealing about Alonso's current mindset.
"He's looking at the entire horizon -- I don't think there's anything that's not a possibility for Fernando," he said. "Who knows?
"Putting him behind the wheel of a road course race, at Sonoma or Watkins Glen, that would be fun. "I don't know if it's possible, but he'd be very interested - absolutely. It would be great for business."
When Fernando Alonso met Jimmie Johnson
Brown has also been trying to coax Alonso to try a proper race in the series, saying after the Bahrain test: "He's not agreeing to it yet, but I am going to work on him a little longer. He is mega quick and has also never driven anything like it, so I think it shows when you have got world champion drivers and give them a steering wheel and give them a race car, then it doesn't take long for them to get up to speed."
Beyond his foray into IndyCar machinery and sports cars, Alonso also got his first test of a rally car last year. He sampled Toyota's Dakar Rally winning car at a test in the Kalahari Desert in March, an experienced he labelled "incredible".
Next year's Dakar Rally will take place in early January, a month which also includes the 24 Hours of Daytona, which Alonso has competed in for two straight years.
Road map back to F1

Hanging over all this should be the proviso that Alonso never officially retired from F1. Brown has left the door open for his return, but that outcome seems unlikely until McLaren returns to competitiveness. While the orange car has clearly improved this year, F1's imbalanced pecking order appears to be locked in until the new regulations for 2021.
Recently, rumours have circulated that Sebastian Vettel is considering retirement at the end of 2019, a belief only strengthened by his demeanour after being controversially denied a win at the Canadian Grand Prix. Of course, an F1 rumour like that wouldn't be complete without the suggestion Alonso could fill any seat made vacant at Ferrari, which has appeared in several media outlets recently. While Charles Leclerc appears to be the team's long-term future, there is no doubt it will have been assessing its options in the case of Vettel calling it a day later this year and Alonso is about as perfect a short-term option as you could find on the driver market right now.
Alonso would surely be tempted by that sort of opportunity.
Earlier this year, the two-time F1 champion said: "I achieved a lot more in F1 than I dreamed of and I had great opportunities outside F1 to do something unprecedented. That's why I took the decision.
"So coming back is not in the plan. If something happened and a great opportunity arrives, I probably will consider [it]. I don't close doors 100 percent to anything in the future."
Alonso back in a competitive F1 car is a tantalising prospect, but it remains the most unlikely for the time being. While he would still be racing in F1 if he was in a position to win races and titles he seems to have been reinvigorated by his current stint away from the series.
At the moment, anything and everything seems to be on the table -- so watch this space.

Police are searching for Michigan school shooting suspect's parents
Oakland County, Michigan, Prosecutor Karen McDonald outlined some of the key events that took place on the day of the shooting.
A teacher of shooting suspect, Ethan Crumbley, found a note on his desk on the morning of the shooting that "alarmed her to the point she took a picture of it on her cell phone."
She said the note included a drawing of a semiautomatic handgun pointing at the words, "the thoughts won't stop, help me." The note also included a section with a drawing of a bullet with the words "blood everywhere."
The parents of the suspect "were immediately summoned" to the school, McDonald said. The prosecutor noted that the suspect altered the note before it was retrieved by a counselor.
"At the meeting James and Jennifer Crumbley were shown the drawing and were advised that they were required to get the — their son into counseling within 48 hours," she said.
The prosecutor said the parents "failed to ask their son if he had his gun with him or where his gun was located and failed to inspect his backpack for the presence of the gun which he had with him."
The parents resisted the idea of their son leaving the school at that time and they left the school without him, she added. He was returned to the classroom.

Dr Antonio Moro
Department: Mathematics, Physics and Electrical Engineering
I joined the Department of Mathematics and Information Sciences at Northumbria University as a Senior Lecturer in Mathematical Physics in April 2013.
I received my Master Degree in Physics in December 2000 at the University of Lecce (now University of Salento, Italy) where in 2001 I joined the PhD programme in Theoretical Physics under the supervision of Prof. B. Konopelchenko. I defended my PhD thesis in October 2004 with a dissertation on "Integrable structures in nonlinear geometric optics and quasi-classical Dbar-dressing method". Afterwards, I had the chance to spend one more year in Lecce as a post-doc fellow where I could work on the application of some new ideas developed in my PhD thesis to the quasi-classical limit of the nonlocal nonlinear Schroedinger models in two dimensions.
In April 2006 I joined the Department of Mathematics at Loughborough University where I worked as a Research Associate on the EPSRC project "Multi-dimensional dispersionless integrable systems: classification, differential geometry, solutions" (EP/D036178/1, PI Prof. E. Ferapontov).
In September 2009, I became post-doc fellow at SISSA - International School for Advanced Studies (Trieste, Italy) where I worked on the European Research Council project titled From-PDE (PI Prof. B. Dubrovin). During my service at SISSA I had the chance to explore a few new exciting research directions.
In 2011 I was awarded the SISSA young Researchers Grant for starting a research project on "Nonlinear Asymptotics for Nonlinear Optics" aimed at the investigation of Dubrovin's Universality in the context of nonlinear optics. The first International School/Workshop on Dispersive Shocks held at SISSA on 18-24 March 2012 of which I was the promoter and main organiser has been fully sponsored by this grant. It was the first event fully devoted to Dispersive Shocks that gathered together world leading theoreticians and experimentalists from Italy, France, Portugal, Russia, Turkey, UK and USA. In parallel, I was principal investigator of the project "Thermodynamic phase transitions and integrable hierarchies of hydrodynamic type", sponsored by the Italian Institute for High Mathematics, which led to the study of a novel application of the theory on nonlinear hyperbolic waves to classical equilibrium thermodynamics. Main results of this research activity in collaboration with Dr. G. De Nittis have been included in the paper "Thermodynamic phase transitions and shock singularities" published on the Proceedings of the Royal Society Series A at the end of 2011.
In July 2012 I joined the Department of Mathematics and Application at the University of Milano-Bicocca as a Research Fellow and I also held a position as a Contract Professor where I collaborated with Prof. G. Falqui in delivering the module on "Classical Mechanics and Dynamical Systems" devoted to second year students in Mathematics and Physics. In Milano I started a new exciting collaboration with Dr. P. Lorenzoni (from Milano-Bicocca University, Italy) and Dr. A. Arsie (from Toledo University, Ohio, USA) on the perturbative classification and analysis of integrable viscous conservation laws.
As a member of staff at the Department of Mathematics and Information Sciences, Northumbria University, I particularly enjoy scientific meeting and seminars and the variety of subjects covered within the Mathematical Modelling Group, sharing my research interests with the students and keeping a constant focus on some of the most recent developments in the areas of mathematical physics, theoretical physics and applied mathematics.
I am ordinary member of the London Mathematical Society and of GNFM-INDAM (Italian Institute for High Mathematics).

Hey loves, let me try and finish up what I started 2 days ago with my choices post that just ended up being a 'selfless ' post So yes, I've never been someone who believed there are times in our lives we never have choices. That would mean we are still in the world because it's only people who haven't come to Christ that have their wills bound. In Christ, we have our souls freed, our Spirit made alive so we have the right to choose at every given point.
Today, I'm here to share with you what I came to realize this year, which is, we aren't victims of circumstances, we aren't people made by the things we suffered or the people we encountered but we are people formed by the choices we made based on those things. We are 'victims' of our own choices. I've noticed that this generation likes the blame game a lot, we don't like to accept the role we played in anything. It's why we aren't going anywhere and we are just an entitled ungrateful bunch.
We walk through life thinking it owes us something and believing that we can push blame on everything but ourselves. We blame our parents, we blame our country, our continent, we blame our educational system, we blame situations we went through… everything outside of ourselves but I got a rude awakening this year with the knowledge and understanding of this truth. I had a conversation with my dad and listed all the things life and people had done to me, He listened attentively and when I was done, He showed me one by one how I wasn't living based on what happened but living on the choices and responses I made based on those things and people. Yes this person did that, you failed here, got rejected here, was deprived of this, got the short end here. Yes, those things happened and are happening but who you become based on them is your choice. It's so easy to give blame to them but ugly truth is You made choices! You made choices that led you here and made you this person.
My dad will say 'yes you were offended but becoming bitter or living in unforgiveness is your choice'. Yes the educational system doesn't prepare us for life as much as it prepares us for exams and a piece of paper they call certificates but you chose to only be schooled and not get educated. How is that people are thriving with the same 'crappy' system you were exposed to. Yes, this and that happened to you but what you become out of it, is your choice.
I'm not saying those things didn't happen or aren't relevant and 100% shouldn't have any form or effect on us however most of us are standing still, pointing fingers at everyone and everything but ourselves. Yes, things happen but we made choices based on those and who we've become is based on those choices we made. Like we saw on day 4, things don't change until you do. We need to become the generation that realizes that we are living by our choices and own up to them. You can remain where you are now, blaming everything or you can accept the truth and make changes… your choice!

Investment portfolios developed and managed around your unique circumstance and needs.
In consideration of the unique characteristics of each Client Investment Profile (CIP), diversified investment strategies combine asset classes to create a balanced vehicle in anticipation of a projected outcome. Portfolios are designed across a number of platforms in order to preserve or enhance wealth over the long-term.
Asset diversification is determined by location and by sector. Our global reach ensures that a carefully designed portfolio will capitalize on the economic performance of key geographies during different stages of the investment cycle. This approach to exposure helps to mitigate investment risk during periods of distress whilst capitalizing on growth during more favorable times.
Should you wish to explore the benefits of our discretionary services, contact a Wildex Investment specialist today.
As proponents of what we term 'contemporary' portfolio theory, portfolios under our management benefit from an active management under a philosophy that prioritizes returns on an absolute basis. Unfortunately, as market volatility increases and economic performance around the world stagnates, buy-and-hold strategies of the past are no longer part of what once was a sure fire process.
Under the current economic climate, with ever-changing conditions, we believe that investors prefer the safety net of frequent returns, irrespective of market conditions. Holding depressed assets in anticipation that over the long-term their values will heal has proven costly for a many number of investors.
For this reason alone, our active management style constantly reviews global macro and micro-economic forces to identify movements that present both opportunities and threats to an optimized portfolio of assets. We maintain the component of flexibility in all portfolios to facilitate a swift rebalancing process as asset allocations navigate the turbulent global markets.

Forgotten Films: Reaper, Episode 1 (2005)
Posted on May 2, 2017 by sanford
Reaper is a short-lived CW series you may have missed.
By Scott A. Cupp
This is the 175th in my series of Forgotten, Obscure or Neglected Films
During Spring Break and late March, my friends Ed and Sam came out to Alpine to visit. During the four days (unlike dead fish, they did not stink after three) they were here, we watched a large number of films and TV shows.
Fortunately, I had lots of things they had not seen. In one of the periods when a full-length movie was too much, I pulled the first season of Reaper off the shelf and said, "I'll bet you've never seen anything quite like this." Forty-five minutes later, they agreed. It was odd and irreverent and wonderful.
Reaper's pilot episode concerns Sam Oliver (Brett Oliver), who's about to turn 21. He still lives at home with his folks (Andrew Airlie and Allison Hossack) with his younger brother Kyle (Kyle Switzer). Younger brother is an overachiever while Sam is not. He works at a Home depot clone and dropped out of college after two weeks. The dictionary definition of "Loser" has his picture.
On his birthday, his parents are acting weird. His mother starts to cry; his father hugs him. Odd behavior. His best friend Bert "Sock" Wysocki (Tyler Labine) comes over for breakfast as he does every day. Sock is one of those for whom the position of Loser is a monumental promotion. Burnt-out slacker with no plans for anything past tonight's activities. He also works at the hardware store, where his goal is to make it through his shift without actually doing anything.
On the way to work, vicious dogs seem to want to attack Sam's car. At work, he is attracted to Andi (Missy Peregrym) a college student who works alongside him. During the day, a pile of air conditioners starts to fall toward her and Sam is, somehow, able to deflect them away. But Sam says he never touched them.
Suddenly evil dogs appear in the store, along with a mysterious white-haired man (the amazing Ray Wise). The man introduced himself as Satan. Confused, Sam goes home, where he learns that as a young couple his father had been really ill. To the point that his parents made a deal with the Devil. In exchange for a cure, the Olivers had to promise that Satan could have their first son on his 21st birthday.
No problem. They had no kids, and Mr. Oliver got a vasectomy. But then Mom showed up pregnant. Seems the doctor had some gambling debts he needed gone, so the Devil asked for one ineffective surgery.
Here's the twist in Sam's dilemma: the Devil doesn't want his soul. He's got plenty of those. What he needs is someone to help capture the souls that have escaped Hell. It's a simple deal. Sam is shown the soul in its current manifestation. He is given a specialized tool to capture the soul, which he then has to deliver to a portal that is literally Hell on Earth. For this mission, the soul collector is a dust buster hand vac. And the portal is the local DMV, where a minion is disguised as a clerk, though she does have tiny horns hidden under her bangs.
Oh, and the soul is an arsonist working as a local firefighter who looks like a MMA champion who could smash Sam with this eyelashes. Needless to say, the first mission does not go well. Sam and Sock go after the firefighter and miss, expending the energy in the dust buster.
They need to find a way to recharge their special tool and a plan to figure out where the soul will be.
They eventually succeed and the deal is done. Or so Sam thinks. Satan has other ideas. There are more souls to be captured. And the deal isn't done until he says it is.
The ensemble works well together and the fun is clearly present. Life at the hardware store is certainly Hell and Sam and Sock still have to try and survive there. Ray Wise is so well cast as Satan, debonair and not be fooled with.
Reaper survived for two seasons on the CW. I missed it when it was on. The amazing Kimm Antell introduced me to the show later and I loved it. Just as K. D, Wentworth had introduced me to Wonderfalls and Point Pleasant, I have to try to pass the love on. Give it a try. The episodes vary in quality. The pilot was directed by Kevin Smith of Clerks and Comic Book Men fame, who knows quirky humor.
Series organizer Todd Mason host Tuesday Forgotten Film reviews at his own blog and posts a complete list of participating blogs.

Cognitive function is important in helping us do many daily tasks, such as reading and problem solving. Vitamin D deficiency is said to be linked to the faster decline of this vital mental process.
Aside from maintaining healthy bones and boosting the immune system, vitamin D is essential to maintaining cognitive function, recent studies have shown.
In fact, vitamin D deficiency may be causing a decrease in memory retention and thinking abilities, especially among the elderly.
The study was conducted by Dr. Joshua Miller from Rutgers University and a team from the University of California Davis with 318 participants. The researchers aimed to understand the relationship between vitamin D levels and cognitive functioning.
Based on prior studies, 50 percent of Americans who were 65 years old and above were vitamin D deficient, and this decreased level of vitamin D in adults can increase the risk for dementia. Dr. Miller noted in his review that at least 70 percent of cognitively impaired patients in prior studies were vitamin D deficient.
Among Dr. Miller and his team's respondents, at least 60 percent had insufficient vitamin D, with African Americans being three times more likely to have insufficient vitamin D compared to whites and Hispanics.
Known dementia cases among the participants had less vitamin D than those without or with mild impairments. Decreased vitamin D levels are also attributed to increased difficulty in recalling general information, such as certain objects, spatial relationship recognition and reality orientation.
More severe cases exhibited a rapid decrease in their overall thinking processes and long-term memory recall capabilities. The link between vitamin D and cognitive decline remained even after considering other risk factors, such as obesity, neurovascular diseases and genetics.
While there is no conclusive study as to whether vitamin D can help arrest or slow down cognitive function decline, knowing vitamin D levels and taking supplements only when necessary may help.

How to find the best local house firefighting company
In the past couple of years, there have been a few firefighting firms that have gained notoriety due to their aggressive tactics and dedication to their mission.
These are the top companies that have received a ton of press for their efforts, and they are the ones that I would recommend to anyone looking to start a home firefighting career.1.
Firehouse Firefighting in Connecticut The Firehouse in Newtown, Connecticut is a local firefighting outfit that is one of the best.
They are extremely committed to their efforts and have been working on the scene since 2013.
Their first major project was a house fire in December of 2016, which destroyed the house and damaged it's roof.
Their second major project that occurred in April of 2019 was a second-story house fire that destroyed the home and damaged the building.
Firehouse Firefighter Joe McDonough in his firefighting suit and helmet from January of 2020 source Hacker News (Courtesy of Firehouse) The company was originally founded by former Firefighter/Paramedic Joe Mcdonough in 2015.
Firefighter Mcdonoc had a good working relationship with the town, as he is well respected by locals for his efforts in fighting fires.
He also worked as a paramedic in the area, and is well known for his skill with an extinguisher.
Firefighters Mcdonos involvement with the fire has increased since that time.
The Firehouses main focus is the firefighting of homes in Connecticut.
The company has worked to save many lives since their inception.
The department has saved more than 10,000 homes, and their firefighting efforts have been recognized with numerous awards and commendations.
Their firefighting methods and tactics have changed since Mcdonococs inception, but its clear that the Firehouse is committed to doing their job as well.2.
Westland Firefighting Westland Firefighter Robert Pecoraro in the firefight suit and cap from January 2019 source Hacker News 2 (Courtesy of Westland) In February of 2019, Westland started a new job that would help them save many more lives.
Westwood Firefighter Bob Pecora was on the call of a home that was severely burned down.
Westwood responded to the fire by helping evacuate the home while they tried to get the structure stabilized.
In addition to helping evacuate, they were on the ground at the scene helping with the investigation.
While the fire was raging, Westwood and the fire department were also working together to assist with the search for the missing home.
They rescued a woman who was trapped in a burning home, and the woman's family has since been reunited with their loved one.
This incident also helped the department to gain a lot of notoriety.
Westland also received a recognition for their continued efforts in helping people in need.
Westminster Firefighter Richard A. Haughey in a fire suit and jacket from January 2018 source Hackernews (Courtesy Westhampton Fire Department) Haughey started his career as a Westhampton firefighter back in 1998.
He has been a firefighter for 20 years, and has worked on firefighting missions in the Bronx, New Jersey, as well as in the New York City area.
Haughhey has saved the lives of many people in the city.
He has been credited for saving several lives on several occasions, and has become a local legend.
After saving many lives, Haughhey was awarded the Department of Fire and Rescue Firefighter of the Year Award in 2017.

It was featured in a 2017 episode of ABC's Fire and Rescue which aired on January 23, 2019.
It is recognized as a firefighting uniform by many firefighters, and also a firefighter helmet. While the WestMorelans Firefighting gear is one of the most recognizable firefighter uniforms in the United States, there are many other firefighter outfits out there.

With Uber's new $50 billion valuation, we urgently need a sanity check on the sharing economy. Here's my take in this morning's Wall Street Journal on why Uber is bad for working people. Here's my explanation on this yesterday's NBC Press Here show on why Silicon Valley is compounding inequality. And here's my argument on this Saturday's WGBH Innovation Hub show on why the Internet is definitely not the answer.
So is smart technology (except this email, of course) making us dumb? Nick Carr and I will be in New York this coming Wednesday (May 13) evening arguing that it does. We won't take any prisoners and I trust this Intelligence Squared debate will be a bloodbath. The event is sold out, but I can probably wangle a few media passes if you ask nicely. Then (if I survive), I'll be back in the Bay Area next Wednesday (May 20), speaking at Kepler's bookstore in the evening and doing a public interview with Angie Coiro in Kepler's at lunchtime.
For the rest of May, I'll be in Europe. On May 23, I'm in Milan where I'll be exposing the nuovi plutocrati del web at Wired's NextFest conference. And from sunny Italy, I'll be treking to rainy Wales, where, on May 25, I'm speaking at the Hay Festival. My question at Hay: "What's The Question?"
So perhaps you can help me prepare for Hay in May. What, exactly, is the question?


Selma Ikela A 22-year-old man was found trapped in a razor wire fence after he allegedly tried to escape from the rooftop of a Katutura butchery where he and two other men had broken into on Saturday morning. The suspect ran into the razor wire, got ensnared and while stuck in the wire, fell and hung between a wall and an outside toilet at the premises of One Tau Butchery in Damara Location. He was stuck between the wall and toilet about one hour and 30 minutes before City of Windhoek Emergency Services came to his rescue. "He was not hurt at all. He is lucky he didn't die because he was at a dangerous place," stated One Tau Butchery owner Shali Andimba.

A recent visit to Westbury Shed by a team of consultant healthcare professionals from Singapore was facilitated by Steve Hubbard, Westbury's local area co-ordinator.
The team was in Wiltshire investigating how local groups function to benefit their local communities and to take away ideas and strategies to develop in their communities back in Singapore.
They were particularly interested in how activities brought individuals together, how members were able to share life experiences, support each other in learning new skills and engage with their community. The visitors were so interested in meeting and talking to members, and impressed with what they found, that they overran their timetable for the day.
It is hoped that this newly formed international relationship will continue in the future and result in sharing of information across the miles and cultures.

Biografia
Bobo Piccoli nasce a Milano nel 1927 da una famiglia di intellettuali, il padre Valentino, laureato in Filosofia, era giornalista e scrittore, mentre la madre Pia Addoli era insegnante d'italiano ed una scrittrice. La loro casa a Milano era frequentata da intellettuali e artisti, fra i quali Mario Sironi, Carlo Carrà, Giuseppe Ungaretti, Salvatore Quasimodo, Giovanni Papini, Clemente Rebora, Ada Negri, Francesco Flora, il regista Alberto Lattuada e il compositore Giulio Confalonieri. Tutti i fratelli Piccoli si sono formati in questo ambiente, infatti Fantasio è diventato un noto regista teatrale, Laura Beatrice fu giornalista e scrittrice e Flora (sposata Biscottini) un'insegnante di lettere classiche.

Dal 1940 frequenta il ginnasio e liceo classico Parini a Milano. Nel 1945, ottenuto il diploma si iscrive all'Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera che frequenterà fino al 1951. All'Accademia studia pittura e affresco con Achille Funi, Carlo Carrà e Aldo Carpi. In questi anni i suoi  amici e compagni di corso sono Dario Fo, Alik Cavaliere, Gianni Dova.  Mentre fra gli amici più stretti c'erano  Alfredo Chighine, Fabio Mauri,  Ugo Mulas.

Nel 1946 aderisce al Manifesto del Realismo, conosciuto anche come Oltre Guernica, firmato da Giuseppe Ajmone, Rinaldo Bergolli, Egidio Bonfante, Gianni Dova, Ennio Morlotti, Giovanni Paganin, Cesare Peverelli, Vittorio Tavernari, Gianni Testori, Emilio Vedova, in occasione del Premio Ciri Agostoni. In questo periodo il giovane Bobo Piccoli, non ancora ventenne, è già molto aggiornato sulle più avanzate tendenze dell'arte internazionale, la sua pittura è ispirata a Picasso, come esempio non solo estetico ma anche etico e politico. Fra i quadri di riferimento, oltre all'intera produzione cubista del maestro catalano, è Guernica (1937) per il profondo impegno civile e politico.

Negli anni dell'Accademia Bobo Piccoli frequenta il bar Giamaica, è un luogo dove si incontrano artisti, intellettuali, scrittori, registi. È in questo periodo che sviluppa un profondo interesse per la letteratura e il teatro: approfondisce i testi di  Bertold Brecht, Samuel Beckett e Jean Paul Sartre. Legge i surrealisti Antonin Artaud, André Breton, Alberto Savinio, e poi gli scrittori italiani Italo Calvino, Cesare Pavese e Primo Levi. In questi anni è interessato all'Esistenzialismo che entrerà nella sua pittura dalla metà degli anni Cinquanta. Dopo gli esordi post-picassiani dell'Accademia,  segue una fase in cui la pittura di Bobo Piccoli risente dell'estetica Informale declinata secondo un linguaggio personale in cui si percepiscono lontani echi del Surrealismo e della pittura nera e tormentata  di Francis Bacon. I dipinti di questo momento hanno fondi scuri, neri e grigi intensi: composizioni, figure, paesaggi, raccontano un immaginario profondo e complesso.

Dagli anni Cinquanta diventano importanti nell'ambito di una ricerca artistica che riflette sulla sintesi delle arti le collaborazioni con gli architetti come Leonardo Fiori, Vito e Gustavo Latis, Fabio Mello, Roberto Menghi, Giuliano Rizzi, Alberto Scarzella, Marco Zanuso. Nel 1954 e nel 1960 è invitato alla Triennale di Milano. Mentre diversi lavori sono pubblicati su Domus.

Nel 1951 è consulente artistico, con Alik Cavaliere e Dario Fo, del film Miracolo a Milano di Vittorio De Sica.

Nel 1959 tiene la sua prima personale alla galleria dell'Ariete di Beatrice Monti della Corte a Milano.

Nel 1965 sposa la ceramista Rosanna Bianchi. Nello stesso anno Piccoli è invitato in qualità di visiting professor alla Bath Academy of Art, Bath (Wiltshire).

Dalla metà degli anni Sessanta inizia a sostituire il colore ad olio con l'acrilico. Alla materia densa dell'olio subentra la superficie omogenea e sottile dell'acrilico, i toni si fanno più luminosi, nei fondi prevale il bianco,  mentre le figure iniziano a colorarsi. L'interesse per il Surrealismo,  per artisti come Max Ernst, Magritte e Delvaux, si sviluppa in forme più definite, in paesaggi, composizioni, narrazioni metafisiche,  che tuttavoa non diventano mai figurative,  ma in cui si iniziano a riconoscere riferimenti umani e naturali.

In questi stessi anni inizia una collaborazione con Fontana Arte che porterà a realizzare alcune lampade iconiche come Re (1968), Regina (1968), Clessidra (1970). Sempre nell'ambito del design progetta vetri per Barovier & Toso.

Negli anni Settanta dipinge grandi paesaggi, Marine e Composizioni con fondi bianchi e prospettive profonde sviluppate in segni tondi e armoniosi che costruiscono una narrazione personale. È la stessa narrazione che si ritrova in alcune collaborazioni con gli architetti, come, ad esempio, il pavimento in marmo policromo del seicentesco Palazzo delle Stelline in Corso Magenta a Milano, intervento all'interno del progetto di riqualificazione di Jan Battistoni, prodotto dalla Fantini Mosaici, del 1973.

Negli ultimi tre anni di vita inizia un nuovo, importante, ciclo pittorico di ritratti, che resta incompiuto a proposito dei quali Guido Ballo scrive: "Dipinti come Birillo, Dama in Astrakan, Dama in Missoni, rendono semplificate le strutture, ma cariche di suggestioni nei colori e nei rapporti spaziali. Rivelano il vero pittore". In questi dipinti le suggestioni e le ricerche condotte fino a quel momento si compongono in una pittura che declina la Metafisica al contemporaneo.

Bone breastplates were a popular chest ornament in the old days, and are still an important part of the regalia of the traditional style dancer.
The long bones called hairpipes, were originally made with bones from the buffalo, birds, and the legbones of smaller animals such as the coyote or wolf, depending on which medicine animal was important to a particular maker.
Since hairpipes were time consuming and difficult to hollow out, and expensive to obtain in trade, the number of bones in the breastplate often indicated the wealth of a warrior. Cowrie shell decorations showed the wealth of a woman.
Breastplates were worn on occasion into battle, (mostly in Hollywood), but they could be penetrated easily by an arrow or a bullet, so they were mainly a medicine item used for ceremonies and a decorative accessory worn on special occasions when a warrior wanted to show his status.

Best audiobooks to gift your friends on Christmas
By Bharat Bhushan December 7, 2021
There is nothing better than reading your favorite book while sipping hot coffee or cocoa on a chilly day. While many people still love holding a book and pondering over the yellow pages, the trend of reading novels has been somewhat replaced by audiobooks. You can listen to them while commuting or going for a walk in the park, which means you do not have to buy paperbacks and spend an hour or two just reading.
Audiobooks also make a perfect Christmas gift to someone who enjoys the written word as much as you do. From iconic plays to baffling murder mysteries, these audiobooks offer a little something for everyone. We have listed introspective literary fiction, brilliant fantasies, and fairytales for you and your friends to listen to this Christmas.
Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
From one of the pioneers of Victorian literature, Charles Dickens' Great Expectations is an amazing read and a must-listen audiobook. Set in Kent and London in the early to mid-19 century, the novel tells the story of an orphaned named Pip and his growth as a character. Perfectly balancing the elements of individuality and societal ordeals, the book includes themes of wealth and poverty, love and rejection, and the triumph of good over evil, making it an ideal listen over the holidays.
Death on The Nile by Agatha Christie
The queen of crime novels, the English writer Agatha Christie is known for her 66 detective novels, particularly those woven around fictional detective Hercule Poirot. This book features the Belgian detective as well, where Poirot tackles a case full of danger and death on the romantic Nile River. A 1937 review about the book said that "the author has again constructed the neatest of plots, wrapped it around with distracting circumstance, and presented it to what should be an appreciative public."
Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing
This 1959 book talks about the failure of the Imperial Trans-Atlantic Expedition, led by Sir Ernest Shackleton, in its attempt to cross the Antarctica continent in 1914. Largely compiled from the journals of Shackleton's 27 man crew, this winter survival story is absolutely perfect read for the season. The story of how a crew of nearly 30 people gets stranded on the Antarctic ice for 20 months, how they survived and got back home is so truly inspiring and harrowing that you will not be able to put it down before you finish it.
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
A classic tale of love and adultery, Anna Karenina is set in Moscow and Saint Petersburg against the background of high society. The author wondrously weaves the lives of dozens of characters together and captures contemporary Russian society in a rich tapestry. What makes this book a delightful read is how Tolstoy understood and wrote women with brilliance. It will make a good gift for someone who loves Tolstoy's work and can devote 35 hours to this piece of art.
Recipe for a Perfect Wife by Karma Brown
This brilliant book, which has also been turned into an audiobook, makes a brilliant gift to a feminist. This brooding, timely novel is rife with tension and packs a punch. It bonds the lives of two women, living sixty years apart, who deny becoming victims of the patriarchy. The captivating dual narrative technique works amazingly as a modern woman finds inspiration in hidden notes left by her home's previous owner, a 1950s housewife. The notes give her a new outlook on her own marriage and how she must find her place in the world of men.
Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling
Harry Potter book series by J. K. Rowling has created a humongous fan base over the years. Be it book series or movies, an entire generation is enthralled and fascinated by the magical world described in it. Harry Potter audiobooks will be an ideal gift for a fan, even for someone who has read the books over a dozen times. The audiobooks feature different characters with their own voice and each line is delivered with passion. It is an amazing way to rediscover and enjoy a classic.
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
Now a major ongoing television series, Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale is a riveting story set in a near-future New England, in a powerful patriarchal, totalitarian state where women are forcibly assigned to produce children for the ruling class of men. The audiobook is narrated by Elizabeth Moss, the lead of the ongoing television adaptation. It paints a harrowing image and is a strong reminder of the fragile construct the modern, relatively liberal society is relying upon.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
Originally a 1978 radio comedy broadcast on BBC radio, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has been adapted to many formats including novels, shows, and movies. The seminal comedy works are brilliant and are divided into six parts. The audiobooks follow the adventures of the last surviving man from the earth and his alien friends. Martine Freeman and Stephen Fry narrate the story of a mind-boggling galactic adventure with a band of misfits.

Home > For Patients & Professionals > about saint francis hospice > News > School friends step out for their Nans
A group of school friends will be stepping out in memory of their loved ones next month when they take part in the 10k Star Walk!
Anita McCarthy
Jodie Buckland, sisters Sarah and Laura Nash and Karly Knight will join hundreds of supporters as they walk around Romford town centre, on Saturday, September 22.
"I have had quite a few friends who have been helped by the Hospice - my Nan Jean being one of them," said Jodie, 26.
"She had cancer and had lost her leg and she would not have been able to come out of hospital and go home to be with her family without the Hospice's support."
Jean was cared for by the Specialist Crisis and Support Service and the Hospice at Home team.
Its Occupational Therapy team also assessed Jean in her home and provided equipment so she could manage safely.
The Hospice's support also extended to the family.
When Jean sadly died in May, Jodie was heavily pregnant and struggling to cope with her grief.
"I was very close to my Nan and my grandad and I were her carers," said the mum of two.
"I had so much going on at the time and I know I would never have got through it without the support I received from the Family Support Service.
"Even though you know it is going to happen, you are never really prepared for it."
Sarah and Laura, both 26, will also be walking in memory of their Nan Marion Nash, who was cared for on the inpatient unit during the last days of her life in 2017.
"We were reluctant about putting her into the hospice in the first place, but it really was the best place for her to be," said Sarah, from Dagenham.
"The staff really work so hard and were so caring and attentive the whole time she was there.
"They really supported our Nan, and our whole family, while we were going through such a tough time. "
Since then the ladies have been doing everything she can to support the charity, which needs to raise £21,000 every day to cover the cost of providing its extensive range of specialist services.
"People just assume the Hospice has the money it needs and it is not until you are in that situation that you realise it runs on donations," Jodie added.
"My friends and I wanted to do the Star Walk together as it is nice to do it in memory of our family and help other people who need the Hospice's services."
Check-in opens at 9pm. There will be entertainment on the night and a warm up before walkers set off at 10pm, starting and finishing at The Liberty Centre.
And everyone who completes the route will be presented with their well-earned medal! Tickets cost £20 (includes a limited edition 10th birthday t-shirt and medal).
Book your place here or contact our Events Team on 01708 753319 ext 2278 or email events@sfh.org.uk


Here is everything you need to know about Father's Day which is celebrated around the world on the third Sunday in June.
Fifty percent of all Father's Day cards are purchased for fathers. Almost 20 percent of Father's Day cards are given to husbands.
A study done at the University of North Carolina found that in terms of genetic makeup, mammals are more like their fathers than their mothers. Even though we get the same amount of genetic mutations from our parents, we actually use more of the DNA we get from our dads. Knowing this information can help in the study of diseases. For example, the severity of a disease can be different if passed down from the mother or the father.
Father's Day was founded in Spokane, Washington at the YMCA in 1910 by Sonora Smart Dodd, who was born in Arkansas. Its first celebration was in the Spokane YMCA on June 19, 1910. Dodd is credited with starting Father's Day after hearing a sermon on Mother's Day. She wanted to honor her father William Jackson Smart, Civil War veteran and widower who raised six children on his own.
While the exact date that the word dad came into use is unknown, it is estimated that it began around the late fifteenth century. It is believed that it was simply derived from baby talk, as in many languages "dada" or "tata" refers to a baby's acknowledgment of their father.
The best way we think to celebrate your Dad this year is to donate to School on Wheels in his honor!
By sending a personalized E-Card on Sunday, June 18th, not only will you feel good helping a homeless child succeed in school through your donation, your Dad will know how much you love him on this, his special day of the year.
Taree is one of 2.5 million homeless children in the USA. They live in shelters, in cars, in shabby old hotels, or on the streets. The children's families have ended up there for different reasons, but they all dream of a home of their own. "I've been homeless since I was nine," explains Taree. "For a few years we moved around a lot, but now we live at Union Rescue Mission. This place is home to thousands of homeless people who don't have anywhere else to go." Taree, his mother, and five brothers and sisters live in one room and share a toilet and shower with others. "The worst bit is probably having to get up at five in the morning when breakfast is served in the dining hall." Taree's family live in downtown Los Angeles, in the homeless area. Thousands of people live on the street here. On his walk to school in the morning, he has to pick his way between tents, shopping carts, and sleeping people. But Taree is not afraid.
Hardly anybody at school knows where Taree lives. He has only told his very best friend, because many people are prejudiced against homeless people. "The worst thing about being homeless is moving around and changing school so often. I worry about the future a lot, and how I'll be able to help my family survive. Sometimes it's hard to stay motivated. But my mother supports all of us. She has helped us grow strong, although things have been tough. Luckily I like school. Math makes me happy!" Taree gets help with his homework from School on Wheels, an initiative started by child rights hero Agnes Stevens, who received the World's Children's Honorary Award in 2008. "Without their extra tuition I wouldn't have done so well at school," says Taree. "Now I help the younger kids there with their homework!

In 2003, Tony was in 5th grade and struggling to learn a new language as well as understand his math homework. His family had moved to the United States from Vietnam.
Fast-forward to 2017, and Tony is about to graduate from Cal State Fullerton with a bachelor's degree in Communication Studies. His biggest challenge – learning to speak English – became his biggest achievement! With gratitude to School on Wheels, Tony is now training to become a volunteer tutor, wanting to pass on some of the positivity he received when he was 10 years old and homeless.
These past couple of months have been filled with events for our students, honoring our volunteers and the recent release of our annual report. We kicked off the month by taking some of our students to One Gun Ranch in Malibu where the students got to learn about biodynamic farming techniques, how to grow fruit and vegetables and got to meet some wonderful animals. School on Wheels spent the last couple months honoring the wonderful volunteers who dedicate their time tutoring homeless students, 250 volunteers received Presidential Service Awards. One of our students, Taree Mayfield, 13, visited Sweden and met Queen Silvia last month. Taree is a new jury member of the World Children's Prize, Taree represents children who are homeless and children who help homeless children. Lasty, a huge thank you to our monthly donor, the group from Brea Olinda High School who are raising funds for School on Wheels. How great it is to see kids helping kids!
Ryan Geitner – Wow! I tutor online from North Carolina. In many ways, coming to my students through a screen has broken down the borders of communication and opportunity. It's incredible to have these young friends across the country who lead lives so different from my own but reflect the same (if not greater) desire to learn and grow. It is truly my pleasure that I am able to log on to the School on Wheels online tutoring website and be connected with a wealth of smiling faces that teach me, far more than I can ever hope to teach them.
John Park – Hello! My name is John Park. I've been with School on Wheels for over a year now and it has been nothing less than wonderful. It can sometimes be challenging to work with disadvantaged kids but developing relationships and making a difference in these children's lives is a blessing.
Elizabeth Hartog – I feel lucky to be a tutor with School On Wheels. Children are our national treasure and there's no greater feeling than to help them along in their life's journey. The added plus is how rewarding it is to be around them. It's really great to spend an hour helping with a challenging subject at school or hearing about a great test score or having a good laugh together. They keep us in touch with who we are and what really matters. Thank you, School On Wheels for a wonderful two years!
Philemon (2nd Grade) is an energetic, creative, and hilarious student. He is full of life and loves drawing. In addition, when he gets stuck on a difficult homework problem, he can stop, focus, and solve the problem. Then he does a quick victory dance and goes on with his artistic brilliance. His goofy, upbeat behavior always makes me laugh. Phi has a one-of-a-kind personality and is a delight to tutor. Congratulations Phi on this well-deserved award!
I've been tutoring Ashlyn for almost two years and like this butterfly drawing she did for me she's full of life. Ashlyn is bright, inquisitive and funny. She's a born problem solver and always goes for sounding out a new word or finding the answer to a new math problem. These are great qualities to have as a student and even greater qualities to have in life. I'm Ashlyn's tutor but I learn so much from her she could be tutoring me!
Sean (9th Grade) From the start, Sean has shown a great aptitude for math. Although it is common for some kids to stray from academics, I commend Sean for coming every week with a positive attitude toward the group tutors that work in our area. Though his math is more developed, he comments that his favorite subject is history. Many of our sessions include reading aloud and summarizing historical excerpts. His favorite past times include playing Dragonball Z and watching the Dodgers and Chargers win their games!

Q: Send a DM and then reacts to the message once a new user joins so every time a new user joins I sent the users a message using
client.on ("guildMemberAdd", member => {

member.send("WELCOME")})

Now, is there any way for the bot to react to that message?
Thanks!

A: You need to contain member.send() in a variable and then use the .react() method on it.
So your solution is:
const msg = await member.send("WELCOME")
await msg.react("");

A: Similar to Syntle's answer, but uses promises instead. (My preferred use)
   member.send("WELCOME").then(function(msg){
       msg.react("");
   }

Football: Europeans lead outcry over latest FIFA scandal
https://str.sg/3McR
(Reuters) - Leading figures from across European soccer voiced dismay on Wednesday over the latest scandal to engulf FIFA, the game's powerful governing body, with many of them calling for its presidential election set for Friday to be postponed.
The world's most popular sport was plunged into turmoil after US and Swiss authorities announced inquiries into FIFA's activities. Seven of the most powerful figures in the game face extradition to the United States on corruption charges after being arrested in Switzerland.
Wolfgang Niersbach, president of the German football federation (DFB), told reporters: "It is shocking and damaging for the (whole of) football what is going on in Zurich. It would be shocking if these serious allegations against FIFA members are correct." Niersbach is set to become a representative of UEFA on the FIFA Executive Committee on Friday.
His compatriot Reinhard Rauball, president of the German football league (DFL), said in a statement that Friday's election, which had been expected to hand reigning president Sepp Blatter his fifth term in office, should be delayed.
"Today's revelations exceed every level of imagination," he said. "It would be the absolutely wrong signal if under the impact of these developments the agenda of the FIFA Congress is processed as planned.
"One cannot just go over to the daily agenda. If these accusations turn out to be true then they would rock FIFA and the entire world football to its foundations.
"Sepp Blatter - while not personally affected - should do football a big service," he added.
Jordan's Prince Ali Al Hussein, the only candidate standing against Blatter, said it was "a sad day for football".
Sportswear giant Adidas was the first of FIFA's sponsors to express its shock at the news. "We can ... only encourage FIFA to continue to establish and follow transparent compliance standards in everything they do."
Swedish FA chairman Karl-Erik Nilsson said Blatter had to take some responsibility for FIFA "scoring own goal after own goal".
"One gets completely depressed when FIFA is being chipped away at again. I think Blatter should draw his own conclusions about everything that has happened during his time as chairman.
"What I can say for certain is that we will not be voting for Blatter."
French Federation president Noel Le Graet said, "It's a shame that officials (by their actions) can cast doubt on organisations like FIFA, which is so important to world football.
"It's incredible that people who rule federations are being suspected, even if we have to wait until the investigations are over."
The English FA has been particularly disenchanted with FIFA ever since faring so badly in the vote to stage the 2018 World Cup. It will also be voting for Prince Ali on Friday.
Chairman Greg Dyke issued a statement saying, "We should stress this morning's developments are very serious for FIFA and its current leadership.
"There must be a question mark over whether the election should take place in these circumstances. Clearly things are changing very quickly and our delegation to the FIFA congress in Zurich, which I am leading, will discuss the position and what we should do about it with our colleagues in UEFA."
Later he told Sky Sports News: "It will be for Congress to decide whether it (the election) should go ahead. "When I went to bed last night I thought it would be quite a boring Congress. Now I think it might be quite lively."
Dyke was backed up by the Scottish Football Association, whose chief executive Stewart Regan called for Blatter to stand down.
"What has happened today underlines the need for fundamental change in how FIFA is governed," he said in a statement on the SFA website (www.scottishfootballassociation.co.uk).
"We have stated before that we believe for the good of the game's image, integrity and indeed future prosperity that Mr Blatter should stand down and allow FIFA to radically improve its governance and credibility. After today's events, that position has crystallised still further." '
Former England striker Gary Lineker, leading scorer at the 1986 World Cup and long a critic of Blatter, was busy on Twitter, posting: "This is extraordinary! FIFA is imploding. The best thing that could possibly happen to the beautiful game."
Earlier he tweeted: "There can't be a more corrupt, deplorable organisation on earth than FIFA. The house of cards is falling. Time for change!" and "If Blatter had even a crumb of dignity remaining, he'd walk away now."
David Ginola, the former French international who briefly planned to stand against Blatter before withdrawing, was "not surprised" by the day's events.
He told Sky Sports News: "There have been allegations for months and years towards FIFA. We need to know why they decided to give the World Cup to Qatar for example."
But Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger warned: "Sometimes we are too quick to convict people who have not been proven guilty so you have to be very cautious on that.
"I'd prefer the whole inquiry is done well and that the rumours disappear. There's nothing worse than rumours."


Thank goodness Spring is really only a few weeks away (in my mind that is) because my 11 mile run outdoors Saturday morning was just down right horrendous due to the weather conditions. This was one of those runs where you mentally battle to keep yourself going.
For some reason, I had it in my mind that I was running outside, sort of assuming the temperature would be somewhere over 20 degrees. Every degree counts, trust me.
When I woke up Saturday morning and saw it was more like 14 degrees, I questioned my sanity as I layered up and headed out the door.
I have become so accustomed to running indoors this winter that besides the frigid air and the dodging of ice patches, the layers of clothing needed to run Saturday were so totally weighing on me that I felt as though I could barely move and couldn't pick up speed for the life of me.
I would have pictures of my layers for you but my phone died towards the end of my run, most likely because I spent many miles on the phone with my friends who were kind enough to be up so early to keep me mentally distracted.
Why didn't I just go home and call it a day? Ha, never.
Why didn't I switch to the treadmill where it was warm? Hmm. Good question.
Anyway, I did a little food shopping Friday afternoon (Trader Joe's and Target) to free up the weekend and avoid having to take my son with me since that always leads to extra money spent on items I would never buy.
Fresh Berries – haven't had fresh containers in the house for months!
Pineapple- for a recipe coming this week!
If you have never tried Trader Joe's Sweet Chili Sauce, you just must remember it next time you shop there.
Took this picture before I ran out of the chili sauce.
Now, even though I didn't schlep my son along with me to Trader Joe's and Target, I did feel the need to locate a few new snacks for him. It's really hard to figure out what to send him each day in his backpack with the nut-free rules and all.
I love Nature's Path Organic products and I knew I couldn't go wrong with a Dark Chocolate Chip Granola Bar.
May I just throw in here my Red Mango yogurt from Saturday – Red Mango serves Nature's Path Organic Pumpkin Flax Granola in the toppings bar, in case you were wondering.
I also picked up a container of prepackaged apple slices mixed with grapes.
Of course I could have made my son a fresh fruit mix each day but in case you didn't know, or in case you forgot what it was like to be a kid, children really like "packaged" snacks.
I don't know if it is the marketing blasted at them or the fact that most processed and dare I say, junk snacks, come in individual bags – whatever the reason, I know my son prefers me to hand him something wrapped or packaged, even if it is a bag of apples and grapes.
I don't need a packaged snack – all I need is an apple with a dab of peanut butter and I am a happy girl.
All is right in the world when my pantry is restocked with Mighty Maple again.
The other day I finished the last jar of Mighty Maple so I went without it until I was able to locate a few jars yesterday. Even though I still had a good 14 jars of Crunch Time in my pantry, it just wasn't the same.
I would say it's human nature to just want what you can't have but when it comes to Mighty Maple, I am pretty sure it's a case of true love – nothing compares.
The only packaged snack at the moment on my list is the new Quest Cookies & Cream bars that just hit store shelves. All weekend I meant to get to the store to pick them up but of course, I forgot.
You know, people debate the whole are-Quest-Bars-really-clean-eating and question the ingredients even though Quest claims to be the cleanest protein bar on the market.
If you want my opinion, and that's all this is, my opinion, if the majority of your diet is "clean", does it really matter? I don't eat very many Quest bars or any other packaged bar or snack but I do feel that just about anything you enjoy has a place in the diet.
After reading the below article, I have decided my theory will have to apply to the cherry on top of my Red Mango creations.
I like my one cherry on top. It makes me happy. Don't take my happiness away.
The internet can really make you insane, yes?
Three things on your grocery list from the weekend?
Have you tried the new Quest Cookies & Cream bar? I heard it's terrific!
YUM to that maple peanut butter! I NEED to try that stuff ASAP!
Oh! In addition to the list of places you need to check out while here in NY, go to the Peanut Butter & Co. Sandwich Shop downtown! Then you can try all of their peanut butters.
I polished off that mighty maple so quickly! But the only grocery store that carries it is up by my parents house which is a drive away and I have no car 🙁 Waiting for my Mom to call me from the grocery store and kindly as if I want some more…wishful thinking now that I don't live there anymore!
It's a weird adjustment to not living at home anymore – you tend to realize the little things that you miss.
My favourite peanut butter is the kind that stays far away from me 😛 If we're talking ALMOND butter, on the other hand, I'mm go with Justin's maple… which I wasn't able to find the last time I was in the States 😥 Looks like I'm going to have to figure out how to make my own, but I'm always afraid that the almonds are going to set my food processor on fire. Eep.
Can you just add maple syrup to a jar of almond butter? Quick fix?

Lakers vs. Mavericks score, takeaways: Luka Doncic's triple-double leads Dallas to comeback win against Los Angeles Lakers
The Stars were out in full force in Game 2 of the NBA's Christmas Day slate as LeBron James and Luka Doncic put on a show for the Dallas Mavericks 124-115 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. Despite his best efforts, James was unable to help the visiting Lakers hold on to their early lead as the Mavericks attacked them during the third quarter. Dallas scored a historic 51 points, a Christmas Day record that was too much for Los Angeles.
Donczyk would grab most of the headlines following a triple-double performance of 32 points, nine rebounds and nine assists, while Mavericks All-Star offensive end Christian Wood and Tim Hardaway Jr. combined for 56 points. Points on a win. On the other end of the spectrum, LeBron put up the type of superstar numbers we've seen over the years, finishing with 38 points, six rebounds and five assists, but the rest of the Lakers' roster didn't support him enough. To work on the road.
With the win, Dallas improved to 18-16 on the season, while Los Angeles fell to 13-20.
1. The Mavericks exploded to break this game open in the third quarter
Things couldn't have been worse than the Mavericks did in the first half against the Lakers. They shot 39.5 percent from the field and 22.7 percent from 3-point range and trailed an Anthony Davis-less Lakers by 11 points. Based on how bad things went in the first two quarters, Dallas was forced to turn things around, but no one could have predicted the Mavericks' 51-point outburst over the Lakers on a 20-5 run at the top of the 82. 65 with two minutes left in the third quarter.

At the end of the third frame, Dallas led 94-75, and their 51 points total tied not only the Christmas Day record, but also the Mavericks record for most points scored in a single quarter. Most points in a quarter this season. It was all thanks to nine 3s, four of which came from Tim Hardaway Jr., who scored 16 of his 26 points in the third quarter. Doncic also joined in the third-quarter fun, scoring 13 of his 32 points in those 12 minutes and dishing out six assists in the process.
It wasn't like the Mavericks were doing anything stylistically different in the third quarter, it was as simple as guys knocking down shots. That's been the story for Dallas all season. When this team cooks from 3-point territory, they're hard to beat. The Mavericks are making the second-most open 3s this season, but in making them, they're in the middle of the pack at 38.1 percent, which is 15th in the league. The first half was a version of the Mavericks not hitting their wide-open looks, while the third quarter was a hard swing in the other direction with nearly every shot inside. It's not sustainable going forward, but it's a positive sign. Dallas could turn things around in the middle of a game and see players like struggling Reggie Bullock get out of a slump.
2. LeBron James vs. Everyone
We already knew that James would have to go all out for the Lakers to have a chance in this game, because without Davis on the floor they don't have much depth behind their two stars. But still, LeBron outscored four Lakers starters who scored just 32 points. Russell Westbrook did his best to provide some help off the bench, going for 17 points, five rebounds and four assists, and Austin Reaves had 16 points. Win multiple games. Shooting has been a chronic problem for the Lakers this season, especially when the team is shooting 32.1 percent from 3-point range. LA ranks 26th in the league in 3-point percentage, and they shot just a hair below their season average, proving once again that this team needs shooters to compete in the West. LeBron also went 0 of 4 from deep, but when he does everything wrong, it's a small blip on the radar.

While the Lakers shot 53.5 percent from the field in the first half and sent Danzig double-teamed on every trip, every other Mavericks player was forced to put up points, which they struggled to do. The Lakers built 14-point leads on two separate occasions in the first half, but once Dallas started to catch fire at halftime, LA didn't have the weapons to keep up the pace.
It's the latest example of Lakers fans showing GM Rob Belinka that this team needs to make one or more moves if it has any chance of making the playoffs or play-in.
3. Christian Wood shows why he should be in the starting lineup
For the sixth straight game, Wood was in the Mavericks' starting lineup, and it may have been his best game in a Mavericks uniform. He finished with 30 points, eight rebounds, seven assists, four steals and two blocks. It was a complete performance on offense, and he had several key defensive possessions, showing he's willing to put in the effort on that end of the floor. Wood had 15 points at halftime, which was a big reason the Lakers' lead wasn't any bigger than it already was, and he continued his strong play out of the break.
Given Wood's current status, it's the perfect time to have such a dazzling performance Eligible for a four-year, $77 million contract extension. Wood is in the final year of his contract and is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, but if the Mavericks want to keep the big man this season, signing him now is the best option, as the price will rise if he continues to improve. Given how things went with Jalen Brunson, where Dallas could have offered him a midterm contract extension but passed on the offer, and losing him to the Knicks as an unrestricted free agent last summer, they don't want that to happen again. Their plan is to have Wood pass this season.
