Q: Entity Framework - Why Does This Work? I'm sure most people ask why things don't work. I am goIng to mix it up by asking why this does work.

I have removed unnecessary code to shorten this a bit. I am completely new to C#, .NET and everything that goes with it. I am completely stumped as to why this works at all. When I call the first dbContext.SaveChanges() to save the record to "AlarmTotals" it also saves all the "MemberResponse" records at the same time, and even more amazingly has the correct AlarmTotals.ID field populated. This one is really throwing me off, I just can't understand how this works seemingly by magic.
Any insight and explaination would be greatly appreciated. I really want to understand what is going on here.

A: First off, your data context is not closed, and you are going to leak a TON of memory/bandwidth if you are not closing your database context connections. Please look into that.
Secondly, the method .SaveChanges() will figure out what the correct id is to assign depending on the database settings. If there is not a definition there such as auto-increment then it is possible that these ids will not be set correctly and you could be saving into the same ID and then throw an exception. The children will have their foreign keys assigned only by explicit association which you are already doing.
Edit:
In response to your comment, usually a using statement is used for managing contexts because it is clean code:
var members = new Members();
using( var context = new SmokeFireDBEntities())
{
 //use context how you would, i.e.
 members = from m in context.Members
             where new[] { "A", "P", "S", "J" }.Contains(m.Class.ShortName)
             orderby m.Line
             select m;
}//once this is hit the context is closed and you can feel safe about your connection

If this approach does not work with how long you want the connection open, you may also manually (although not highly suggested) close the connection on your own.
this.dbContext = new SmokeFireDBEntities();
var members = from m in dbContext.Members
             where new[] { "A", "P", "S", "J" }.Contains(m.Class.ShortName)
             orderby m.Line
             select m;
this.dbContext.Dispose();//this will close the connection for you, and if you need it re-opened then either call new Entities() again or use the using statement

A: To add to what others said, I guess that the "magic" happens in the line 5:
1 foreach (Member m in members)
2 {
3     MemberResponse mr = new MemberResponse();
4     mr.MemberID = m.ID;
5     mr.Member = m;
6     this.gridData.Add(mr);
7 }

This is the line that causes your new MemberResponse to attach to current EF ObjectContext (and subsequently, causes them to save on SaveChanges()). MemberResponse.Member is a EF navigation property.
But are you sure that saved MemberResponses have MemberResponse.AlarmTotalID  set correctly? The code doesn't look like it is. The best way to understand what really happened is to put a breakpoint in the setter of AlarmTotalID property.

A: Short answer: That's what the Context and the Entiities do; they track all that stuff so that updates to the whole object graph are saved.
By object graph, I mean the "root" object you are working with, and any related items that you might attach, whether you always realize that's what you are doing or not.
It is awesome!
EDIT: I recommend reading the excellent work of Julia Lerman if you want to dig more into Entity Framework. It's a very big topic, but it's worth it. She has a canonical book named Entity Framework, and an msdn column, blog, etc.
Note that questions about books are not really on topic here, but I'm suggesting this because you seem new to EF.


Scoop 2018: Spring Championship Of Online Poker is an online poker tournament. It was established in 2009. There are three different stakes in the SCOOP: low, medium –ten times the low stake – and High – 100 times the low stake. The winners of all 183 events in the 2018 SCOOP achieved something special, including both lovely pay-days and all-time poker memories. Of course, it is true that one of those 183 events stands up a notch higher than the rest, along with the winner earning a permanent spot in the poker world's collective memory, too – the $10,300 buy-in 'High' version of the three-day SCOOP main event, and Tankanza of Austria overcoming all to claim the title, a Platinum Pass, and a massive $1, 133, 160.03 first prize. The field was star-studded, the final table highly competitive, all heads-up play a long, long winding roller coaster. Two hours into heads-up a deal was considered, but when Tankanza's opponent wanted a little more than what was being proposed, Tankanza wasn't interested in that. "No Tanks", was the reply. Almost two hours after that, Tankzana had won.
Micro Millions: Micro Millions is another online poker tournament series that features 121 events, almost all with micro stakes buy-ins as the name suggests, It is a tournament designed for the 'little guy'. The buy-ins start from as little as $0.11which makes it perfect for players of any skill and it doesn't matter if you are just starting out or a seasoned grinder. It is considered as the ultimate low-stakes tournaments series. This popular online game was first introduced back in 2012. Often large field, low buy-ins online tournaments features lots of less patient players going broke with marginal holdings as they don't have the stamina to sit through long stretches of bad cards. The Micro Million Marathon will allow you to schedule multi table and play several tournaments at once, which can help with being patient in each individual tournament. One needs to be prompt, patient and ready to adapt.
Spin & Go: Spin & Go is a new 3-player SNG in hyper- turbo format, where the prize pool is randomly drawn and the buy-in can be multiplied by between 2 and 1000 times. Each player starts with 25 bb in their stacks at a 10/20 level, and blinds go up every 3 minutes. The winner of a tournament wins the prize pool. Poker provides many things. Money. Happiness. Intellectual challenge. But when you get right down to reality, professional poker players don't play for any of those reasons. As a matter of fact, they play because it gives them freedom. When Spin & Go games was created, professionals thought that freedom was waning. The recreational players, eyeing a quick buck, left the cash games and tournaments and started spinning. The pros had nothing to do but complain. Well, not all of them.

Three tiger cubs rescued from smugglers in Bangladesh
Two men were arrested and sentenced to two years in prison for attempting to smuggle three tiger cubs in to Malaysia. The cubs were sent to the Forest Department for rehabilitation and will eventually end up in the Dhaka zoo or safari park.
STRDEL/AFP/GETTYIMAGES
Bengal tiger cubs, rescued by Bangladeshi Rapid Action Battalion personnel, are pictured during a press event in Dhaka.
Authorities in Bangladesh rescued three tiger cubs from a private residence on Monday, as they were apparently being prepared for smuggling to Malaysia.
The Rapid Action Battalion also arrested two men, who were tried on the spot by a mobile court and sentenced to two years each for wildlife smuggling.
The cubs had been taken two or three days earlier from the Sundarbans, the world's largest mangrove forest, which straddles India and Bangladesh, and is one of the largest remaining habitats of the endangered Bengal Tiger, said Raihanuddin Khan, the battalion's operations officer.
The rescued animals, believed to be two-and-a-half months old, would be handed to the Forest Department for rehabilitation, and later sent either to the Dhaka zoo or a safari park in the south-eastern district of Chittagong, he said.
But Anwarul Islam, chief executive of Bangladesh Wildlife Trust, said they should be sent in India to be reintroduced to the wild.
"Bangladesh and India have arrangements for tiger conservation, and it would be wise to send the cubs to India for their raising," Islam said.

Making sure your baby is safe when they sleep is important. Babies can suffocate if their airways become blocked by soft objects like blankets, pillows, or other objects. They are also at risk if someone rolls onto them.
There are simple steps you can do to make sure your baby stays safe.
What are other safety recommendations?
No smoking - during pregnancy or around the baby.
Each sleep counts - the same safety rules should be followed during naps as well as bedtime.
Breastfeed your baby to reduce the risk of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome).
Couches, recliners, chairs, and other non-approved surfaces should never be used for your baby to sleep or nap - especially if they are sleeping with a caregiver.
Offer a pacifier at each nap and at bedtime. For breastfeeding babies, wait to offer the pacifier until breastfeeding is well-established (at about 4 weeks). Pacifiers should NOT be forced or attached to your baby or your baby's clothing.
Don't let baby get too hot during sleep - no more than one more layer of clothing than an adult would wear to be comfortable. Keep the room at a comfortable temperature.
Follow your health care provider's guidance on vaccines and checkups (for you and your baby).
Avoid products that claim to reduce the risk of SUID (Sudden Unexplained Infant Death). These products - wedges, positioners, monitors, etc. - have not been tested for safety or effectiveness and could possibly cause harm.
Give your baby plenty of tummy time when your baby is awake and supervised.


A variety of cereals, fruit juices, fresh and tinned fruit, yogurt, jams, marmalades etc.
Bacon, locally produced sausages, mushrooms, hash brown, tomatoes, beans. Choice of fried, scrambled or poached free range eggs. Smoked salmon. Porridge.
Vegetarian and gluten free sausages are available on request. Please let us know in advance if there are any special dietary requirements.
Continental breakfast with cheese, ham and croissants also available if requested in advance.


Double Ceiling was commissioned in 2014 by the Central Government Real Estate Agency, to be placed in the National Police Internal Investigations Department in the Court of The Hague.
The artwork covers almost the entirety of the ceiling of the National Police Internal Investigations Department's dining area. It measures 5 by 5 metres, and consists of a light box with a photo of a ceiling made of wooden, white-painted planks, and a wooden supporting structure positioned at a right angle. Beneath it hang wide pine-wood slats, which hang in parallel to the white slats in the photo.
The unique lighting of the ceiling in the photo is enhanced by the use of the light box, which lights the photo from behind. The interplay created by the physical presence of the wooden slats, which partially obstruct the view of the image, visually challenges the viewer to try and understand the ceiling behind the slats.
The photo of the ceiling was taken in the Stengårdshult Kyrka, a small church in the village of Stengårdshult (population 25) in Småland, Sweden. After the previous church was destroyed in a fire, the new church was designed at the start of the 20th century by Swedish architect Torben Grut, who was also the architect behind Stockholm's Olympic Stadium.
The entire church is made of wood, and is one of a kind in terms of its shape and architecture, with a high, rectangular nave and lower side aisles. The row of windows at the top of the nave are practically the only source of natural light. The ceiling reflects this light, and the indirect light from the ceiling spectacularly lights up the entirety of the nave. This fairly modest building has characteristics typical of both Art Nouveau and classicism.

Vehicle in international service, Volkswagen Crafter was installed with a UCCE on 02.18.2016, the result today is a reduction from 12L / 100km to 8,4L / 100km, equivalent to a reduction of 30%, exceeding all expectations! The van in question makes passenger service between Portugal – Luxembourg – Switzerland.
The SUCH (www.such.pt) for the period 2013-2015 adopted a Plan for Rationalization of Energy Consumption for its vehicles fleet, which at the end of 2015 consisted of operating 43 heavy Vehicles and 176 light vehicles.
As part of this Rationalization Plan, the ULTIMATE POWER installed the ULTIMATE CELL® technology in 10 light and 46 heavy vehicles.
The Report with the results of this Plan was completed at the end of the last month of January 2016 and the Coordinator of Contract Management, Documentation and Fleet sent to us the attached Statement document, testifying a value of 16% as average fuel reduction for the whole fleet by installation of our devices.
Company car "Táxis João da Ponte, Lda." District of Braga, Portugal, proceeded to install an Ultimate Cell with reported consumption before installing 10,6L / 100 km, after 15 days in which were covered about 1000 km, the consumption stabilized at 8.2 L / 100 km (22.6% reduction).
We are delighted to report that the Ford Mondeo car TD 1998, were was installed an Ultimate Cell system on 20th January 2016, after only 300km performed already has a fuel consumption reduction of 19.7% and emission reductions of about 70%.
Thank you for the opportunity to be part of this project.
Two ULTIMATE CELL® units were installed in cars of the fleet. One of the units was applied in a Citroen C5 2.0 HDI (which is what I use daily) and the other was in a Ford Transit 2.4 TD.
With this testimony I want to congratulate ULTIMATE POWER for this innovation and product development.
The units are without any doubt very effective, and I do demonstrate my total satisfaction with the performance and low fuel consumption reached after installation in these vehicles.
In addition to these advantages already listed, the fact that the product is developed and produced in Portugal, makes me even happier, because we are used to see all these types of products to come from other countries and in this case we have reversed positions.
Another factor that cheers me up is that I and my company, being involved in the production of this product.
The Ford Transit was a car that had a consumption of +/-14 l/100km and right now is down to 11 l/100km -18% reduction.
In the case of the Citroen C5, although it is a car that comes standard with 163cv, one can see a noticeable increase in power.
Xtreme Jet Boat River Safari, S.A.
On a telescopic forklift Manitou MT523, which were installed two UCTE has been observed after installation, a fuel consumption reduction from an average of 3.83 liters/hour to 2.86 liters/hour. This decrease represents an average reduction of 25.3% in the fuel consumption of the equipment.
It was reported an average consumption reduction of 16.2% since that before consumed in average 18.5 litters/hour of diesel and with the installation of our equipment have reduced this value to 15.5 litters/hour.
"After the installation of the "Ultimate Cell" in my car – Volvo S40 2T (160.000 Km) – I was surprised immediately with an increase of power in acceleration and greater response in start-up. This aspect is fundamental for overtaking.
Until now, after 2 months, consumption got a reduction of 16% (in city and also in road). I hope I still get some improvement in the future.
In September 2013, the ULTIMATE CELL solution was installed in the vehicle fleet of CSPPN, having obtained results which exceeded even the positive frankly more optimistic expectations.
Six months after installation, a reduction of 20% was obtained on the total value of fuel expenditures in the Institution. It is estimated that this solution will enable the Institution to save about € 3,500 per year on fuel bills.
No less important, is the testimony of the drivers reporting increased availability in low and middle speed regimes, resulting in a greater ease and pleasantness on driving. Is still reported a significant reduction in the usual "black smoke" characteristic of older and high mileage Diesel cars as are some of CSPPN's fleet.
I have a motorhome that had an average consumption of 15 litres/100 Km. In the past weekend, I installed a ULTIMATE CELL, which gave positive results immediately.
Consumption fell to 11.5 litres/100 Km, i.e. a reduction of more than 20% in consumption, as well as a much larger force to intermediate speed regimes, i.e. much greater ease of driving!

Stabilising the pH level in your pool water is essential to keep water pure, healthy and limpid, offering maximum swimming comfort and efficiency for disinfecting treatments. Continuous variation of pH depends on the water type, climatical conditions, swimming frequency and chemical water treatment used. The combination of these factors can make successful pool water stabilisation a constraint.
It is, therefore, important to keep pool water pH at its ideal level of 7.2.
DINOTEC LOGO VISUAL automatic dosing measures the pH and chlorine level in the pool using pH and Redox probes which are connected to a microprocessor. Using this method, the pH and chlorine level is automatically regulated depending on the volume of your pool and filtration cycle duration.
If the pH or chlorine level is no longer within the programmed range, the dosing pump injects a proportional dose of correction liquid (pH+ or pH-) or liquid chlorine to the pool.
The LOGO VISUAL pH and chlorine regulating unit show on its backlit, LCD display panel the different settings and menus of the unit.
Compact analysis and regulating, commanded by an integrated microprocessor with pH and disinfectant (liquid chlorine) correction.
Highly performant automatic pH and chlorine correction : automatic dosing and correction depending on the volume of your pool and filtration cycle durations.
Precise pH regulation offers efficient water treatment and protects the pool equipment against corrosion.
Water treatment products are injected depending on the real needs of the pool (calculated by redox potential level measured in the pool water) by the integrated dosing pump ensuring optimal hygiene. The redox probe is very sturdy and requires no calibration (no maintenance).
An integrated dosing method is economic and compact. Dosing pumps enjoy a long lifespan, feature a stepper motor, ensure optimal adaptation for a dosing flow between 0,3 to 3 l/h, depending on the pools needs.
The dosing can be effectuated at a maximum back pressure of 1,5 bars.
Digital backlit screen with menu guide. Automatic start temporisation between 0 - 25 min, water quality check, dosing time check, leak detection.
Measures pH and redox potential using probe housed in the analysing chamber.
Peristaltic dosing pump featuring stepper motor with bearing bracket, pipe connections 6/4 mm, security cut off, alarm display, modular pump capacity range 10 to 100%.
Integrated self-priming peristaltic dosing pumps for a maximum flow 3,0 l/h to 1,5 bars maximum.
The unit is pre-installed with factory settings, ready to wall mount and use, complete with connection kit.
Chlorine, chlorine dioxide, bromine, ozone... All of these are oxidisable products. If you add an oxidisation product to your pool water, you obtain an oxidisation potential. The oxidisation potential is heightened with the quantity of oxidisation product added to water.
Opposed to potential reduction caused by impurities (bacteria, algae and other oxidisable substances).
The two potentials oppose (Oxydo-Reduction) and create the destruction of algae and bacterias.

Home Travel Guide Hanoi City Rough Guides names Vietnam one of the 20 most beautiful countries to visit
Rice terraces in Sa Pa are one of the most captivating scenes of Vietnam.
Natural beauty sites such as Ha Long Bay and Sa Pa remain a big draw for tourists.
Popular travel site Rough Guides has re-released a survey it conducted in 2014 to find the 20 most beautiful countries in the world.
Vietnam propped up the top 20 as one of the three Asian countries on the list, with India placed in 13th and Indonesia in an impressive 6th.
Scotland topped the list as the most beautiful country to visit, while the rest of the top 20 was made up of Canada, New Zealand, Italy, South Africa, England, Iceland, the U.S., Wales, Slovenia, Mexico, Finland, Switzerland, Peru, Norway, Ireland and Croatia.
The site cited Vietnam's "impressive" rock formations in Ha Long Bay and the rice fields in the northern highlands for its inclusion on the list, and it's not the first time these destinations have received global accolades.
Touropia, another famous travel guide, once named the terraced fields outside Sa Pa the 11th most beautiful natural site in the world, while the U.S.-based Travel and Leisure selected it as the seventh most spectacular destination to visit.
Vietnam is also known for its stunning beaches and islands, the ancient town of Hoi An and its stunning cave system, which includes the world's largest cave Son Doong.
The Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Report released by the World Economic Forum last April highlighted captivating scenes as a major draw for Vietnam, which ranked 67th among 136 economies and was among the 10 most-improved since 2015.
Yet Vietnam has been struggling to balance its natural beauty with a tourism growth obsession.
Foreign visitors to Vietnam rose 26 percent to a record 10 million last year, making it the world's seventh fastest growing travel destination, according to a United Nations report in June.
The country raked in VND400 trillion ($17.6 billion) from tourism last year and the industry is aiming to make $35 billion per year in 2020, contributing 10 percent to the economy compared to the current 7.5 percent.
At the same time, it has received criticism from travelers and conservationists about littering and the concrete invasion of resorts and cable cars at popular sites.
Tourism officials say only a third of visitors return to Vietnam, while industry experts claim the rate is less than 10 percent, compared to 60-70 percent in Thailand.

Eng. Abdulrahman Salim Al Hatmi is a senior executive with 22 years of diverse experience and verifiable success in achieving revenue, profit, and business growth objectives within start-up, turnaround, and rapid-change environments. He has a proven track record of understanding critical business drivers in multiple markets and industries. His current role oversees a group of companies comprising more than 15 subsidiaries spanning three major ports with their associated free zones, transport companies including Oman Rail, as well as other logistical support entities.
All Asyad's work is linked to the Oman Logistics Strategy 2040. What does that strategy entail and how will it help Oman's development?
The Logistics Strategy 2040 looked at what Oman wanted to be in terms of logistics, the contribution to GDP and employment we wanted the sector to have, and how we wanted to be seen as a GCC hub. The consensus was that, generally, we have enough hard infrastructure apart from rail, leaving soft infrastructure as the real issue. We needed to tackle the soft infrastructure issues in a more structural way. Hence we have four pillars. The first is trade facilitation: we need to remove all the obstacles to trade and make it easy to do business in Oman, including issues such as customs clearance, inspections, and regulations and processes for setting up businesses and licensing. The second pillar is the question of the sectors, industries, and commodities to focus on to differentiate Oman from other markets. We had to look at market segmentation and identify the segments, products, or industries that we wanted to focus on. The third pillar is human capital. This is important for us to fulfill certain employment requirements because we have to find jobs for nationals. The human capital pillar therefore entails Asyad dissecting all the jobs, looking at the categories available, and working out how we train Omanis to become competitive and productive. The fourth pillar is technology. One of the differentiators for logistics and other sectors is how fast technology is adopted and how fast new technologies that are game changers are created.
Where does the Oman rail project currently stand and what impact will it have once it is up and running?
Currently we focus on Oman's domestic rail network. We are also ready for the wider GCC rail project and want to come to an agreement with our GCC colleagues on a start date, but the domestic rail network is our focus at the moment. This work is concentrated around opening up the mining sector because it is price sensitive and transportation is one of the most expensive elements of mining. Rail will really unleash the true potential of mining in Oman and we are working closely with the mining industry. We have looked at certain rail lines from particular mines to the ports. Now we will go through the investment elements looking at the best model to integrate mining extraction with the demand and transportation costs. We are working together with our mining colleagues to develop this.
What improvements could the government and private sector make to facilitate better logistics here?
We have made progress in terms of improving things much more. We have managed to reduce the customs clearance times and the system is now fully automated. We seek to integrate all the other government agencies for permits, licensing, and inspections into the system to make it easier and faster. The truly great thing is that the wave of change has started and people are on board. The process is going quicker than previously imagined. The government is moving in the right direction, though the private sector also has to cooperate and become a key player in this. When we structured our strategy the private sector was part of it. Now that we are implementing the strategy, the private sector is also part of this. Asyad's role is also to push the private sector to invest as much as possible, for example to make a reliable warehousing and trucking system available in Oman. We cannot attract businesses if this structure is not available. Fast customs clearance is of no use if there is no one to store or transport the goods after they have cleared the port, so the private sector has to do much more in terms of both the soft and hard infrastructure as well.

Experience a massage from the inside out, relaxing the body energetically and physically and freeing your body's ability to heal. Blockages and imbalances in the human body alter the vibration of cells, organs, systems, or energies resulting in disease (dis-ease). Many external factors, including electromagnetic frequencies from television sets, cell phones, and microwaves affect the vibration of our physical and energetic bodies.
Bypassing language entirely, rhythmic and vibrational music allows us to access spirit and heart directly, quieting the over-active left brain, re-aligning these unbalanced vibrations and creating more harmony. We begin with sound in our mother's womb; we are held together by sound as we travel through our lives. In virtually every culture, human beings have used toning, chanting, drumming and singing to heal their bodies and spirits.
These sessions are recommended for people who have sleep disorders, depression, anxiety, constipation, ulcers, high blood pressure, asthma, chronic pain, creative blocks and more.
In these sessions, we will talk briefly so that an intention for healing can be established. We will work to tune your body and create more spaciousness within which the elements (earth, air, fire, water and space) can combine for your benefit. We will invite your body's elements to come into balance. I ask for what needs to be heard here and now, rather than performing prepared or rehearsed pieces. I work with silence and sound as sound emerges out of stillness. The didgeridoo (I use yucca, seaweed and bamboo didges), tuning forks, crystal bowls and voice gently invite stuck energy to move or vibrate at a higher frequency and to ease over-stimulated energy into stillness.
Didgeridoo can be used to make ceremonies and rituals special. Think of it for birthdays, memorial services, graduations, weddings and other gatherings.

Could acupuncture, a 5,000-year-old healing technique, prove to be a cutting-edge weapon for treating the modern nemesis of clinical depression?
More therapeutic options would be welcome, experts say. The illness costs Americans about $40 billion a year in lost productivity and treatment charges. About two-thirds hit by serious depression recover - if they complete state-of-the-art treatment (drugs and/or psychotherapy). But one-third drop out before finishing and, even if they recover from one episode, 70% suffer relapses.
"We need a lot more attention on accurately diagnosing and treating depression. . . . Of course, any new modalities would be welcome," says Dr. Susan Blumenthal, assistant U.S. surgeon general and a women's health specialist in the Department of Health and Human Services.
Some studies from the former Soviet Union and China have pointed to acupuncture as a possibly effective method for treating mood disorders. But depression per se doesn't exist as a diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine, says psychologist John Allen of University of Arizona, Tucson.
"We decided to look at how well acupuncture worked in treating the various symptoms of depression, even though the Chinese don't have a specific name for the illness," he says.
Group No. 1 got eight weeks of acupuncture designed to improve each woman's particular symptoms.
Group No. 3 was put on a wait list for eight weeks to test improvement just from waiting, then went for eight weeks of acupuncture prescribed for their own conditions.
"One of the reasons we funded this is because we were so impressed with the experimental design. It was done with a lot of care," says John Spencer, senior policy analyst in the U.S. Office of Alternative Medicine.
A 43% reduction in symptoms from tailored acupuncture.
A 22% reduction from the nonspecific acupuncture.
A 14% reduction just from waiting.
More than half no longer met the criteria for clinical depression after eight prescribed acupuncture treatments, "and that compares favorably to therapies we already use, some much more expensive than acupuncture," Allen says.
These preliminary findings "are very intriguing, certainly promising enough to justify larger studies," adds Spencer.
But it's still an ongoing study, Allen emphasizes. He's now working on one-year follow-ups to see how many patients relapse. At least in this small study, only 12% dropped out.
The findings so far "in no way justify everyone running out to their local acupuncturist and giving up on other methods," cautions Spencer. "We have to be guarded because these are small numbers. You'd need a full-blown clinical trial with a lot more people to prove it really works."
Allen plans larger studies next year and hopes to see how "tuneup" treatments do in preventing relapse. He also intends to compare acupuncture therapy directly to other, established treatments such as certain types of talk therapy.
Cognitive and behavioral therapies have been found to affect brain function, Blumenthal points out. "It's possible acupuncture may do the same. It isn't just pills that can change brain chemistry and function. . . . At this stage, it's fair to say acupuncture may be promising, but it's premature to say anything more than that."

Q: Using grid diagram to compute the Alexander polynomial I have been reading the book 'Grid Homology for Knots and Links' (see https://web.math.princeton.edu/~petero/GridHomologyBook.pdf) - in Section 3.3 it provided a way to compute the Alexander polynomial using grid diagrams. Specifically, it gave an explicit formula for the Alexander polynomial in Definition 3.3.4 on Page 53. However, when I tried it on a left-hand trefoil knot, it does not seem to work. Please could I have some help:
The grid diagram I have been working on is as follows.

From here I have obtained the matrix
$$
M(\mathbb{G})= \begin{pmatrix}
1 & 1 & t & t & t\\
1 & t & t^2 & t^2 & t\\
1 & t & t^2 & t & 1\\
1 & t & t & 1 & 1\\
1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1
\end{pmatrix},$$
of which the determinant is $t^6-5t^5+11t^4-14t^3+11t^2-5t+1$ (see https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=det(%7B%7B1,1,t,t,t%7D,+%7B1,t,t%5E2,t%5E2,t%7D,+%7B1,t,t%5E2,t,1%7D,+%7B1,t,t,1,1%7D,%7B1,1,1,1,1%7D%7D) for verification).
Since it is a $5 \times 5$ grid, we have $n=5$, so multiplying the above expression with $(t^{-1/2}-t^{1/2})^{-4}$, which gives $(t^4-t^3+t^2)$. So by looking at the formula in the book, we would need $a(\mathbb{G})$ to be $-3$ to give the correct Alexander polynomial $\Delta(t)=t^{-1}-1+t$ (see http://mathworld.wolfram.com/TrefoilKnot.html). But I am not sure how to obtain that based on the instruction above Definition 3.3.4:

By summing these contributions for all O's and X's and dividing the result by 8, we get a number $a(\mathbb{G})$ associated to the $n \times n$ grid.

This is part of my project but unfortunately I cannot find many resources online. I have also found a master's thesis (by Nancy Scherich) on this topic (see https://nancyscherich.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/the-alexander-polynomial.pdf, where the 'Minesweeper matrix' on Page 32 would give the same determinant as $M(G)$, however I don't think the Theorem 5.8 is correct as I have tried some examples...)
Many thanks in advance!

A: Let's compute $a(\mathbb{G})$ for your example.
The winding numbers at the intersections of horizontal and vertical lines (including the top and rightmost lines) are given by the array
$$\begin{array}{r r r r r r}
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
0 & 0 & -1 & -1 & -1 & 0\\
0 & -1 & -2 & -2 & -1 & 0\\
0 & -1 & -2 & -1 & 0 & 0\\
0 & -1 & -1 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0
\end{array}$$
I'll color code the entries in that array as follows: a black entry is not in the corner of any $X$ or $O$, a red entry is in the corner of exactly one $X$ or $O$, and a blue entry is in the corner of exactly two $X$'s or $O$'s.
$$\begin{array}{r r r r r r}
0 & \color{red}{0} & \color{red}0 & 0 & \color{red}0 & \color{red}0\\
\color{red}0 & \color{blue}0 & \color{red}{-1} &\color{red}{-1} & \color{blue}{-1} & \color{red}{0}\\
\color{red}{0} & \color{red}{-1} & \color{red}{-2} & \color{blue}{-2} & \color{blue}{-1} &\color{red}{0}\\
0 & \color{red}{-1} & \color{blue}{-2} & \color{blue}{-1} & \color{blue}{0} & \color{red}{0}\\
\color{red}{0} & \color{blue}{-1} & \color{blue}{-1} & \color{blue}{0} & \color{red}{0} & 0\\
\color{red}{0} & \color{red}0 & \color{red}0 & \color{red}0 & 0 & 0
\end{array}$$
Then
$$a(\mathbb{G}) = \frac{1}{8}\left(\sum\text{red entries} + 2\sum\text{blue entries}\right)=-3,$$
as desired.

29-06 Engineers win national award
Our amazing engineers have won an award in a national competition.
About 100 schools entered Tomorrow's Engineers EEP Robotics Challenge which challenged students to build, program and control Lego robots to complete a series of space-inspired tasks devised by NASA and Lego Education.
Our team beat schools from all over to the region to make it through to the national final at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry where they won an award for Teamwork.
CTS Teacher Rob Cooper said: "We are so proud of our students for winning this national award.
"To achieve it they had to complete a task where they were divided into two teams that each had to build a robot.
"They were not allowed to look at each other's robot but had to communicate what they were doing clearly enough so that they both ended up making the same robot which would be able to complete a task they had been set by the organisers.
"The students were so excited that they had done so well in the contest."
The national final also included a robotics section, where our students scored 37 out of 40, and our students had to give a presentation on how humans can survive in space.
Our team of engineers will enter the first Lego League tournament next year.
(Three of our engineers at the regional final)

Mr. Merit, Tear Down That Wall!
Many people in America, and even around the world, have been paying close attention to the U.S. presidential campaigns. All one has to do is turn on the T.V. and you will see news coverage, campaign ads, and even political satire of the two campaigns. The other night, I was watching the second debate between President Obama and his opponent, Mitt Romney. Though the forum was set up as a town hall meeting, the two candidates were very aggressive toward each other. There were multiple moments where both candidates were in each other's faces, pointing their fingers at each other, and accusing the other as not telling the truth.
In all of the debates so far, and this would be true for all election-year debates, the candidates try to point out each other's records, and where they failed to live up to the American people's expectations. Mitt Romney is trying to show how President Obama failed to live up to the promises he made in his 2008 campaign. Conversely, President Obama is trying to show that Mitt Romney's record points to an overly rich guy who has a long-founded interest in helping the wealthy get wealthier at the cost of the middle-class and the poor. He is trying to show that Mitt Romney will not live up to the expectations of the American people.
Now, the point of this devotional is not to get political in any way; however, this current presidential campaign, and really all such campaigns, is saying something about us as an American culture. It is saying that merit means a lot to us as Americans. If you are successful and worth your weight in salt, we will vote for you. If you are perceived as a failure, we will not. And this is not true for just politics. It is true in our jobs, in our sports, and in just about every other aspect of our lives. We very much participate in what is called a meritocracy, and for politics, business, sports and other performance driven things, it is understandable why merit is valued.
What is sad, however, is that meritocracy has also become a part of the Christian church! Even in the church we look toward success and merit. We hold people "accountable" (even though Paul went through lengths to state that love takes no account), we keep record of people's success and failures, and we judge people based off of their performance in ministry and other aspects of the church. Now that is not to say that we should not correct people when they are wrong, or walk along side of people with the hope of guiding them toward successful ministry; however, there is a fine line between that and becoming an institution of merit.
What should be clear to us, as evidenced in Scripture, is that in the Kingdom of Heaven there is no meritocracy. If God were to demand of us to show our merit, according to God's standard, we would all fail that test. None of us are going to be seeking to "show God our merit" on that final day; rather, we are going to be asking God to show us his grace and mercy. If that is the case, then shouldn't we be ditching a system of meritocracy for one of mercy and grace? Shouldn't we be accepting all people, not on the basis of merit, but on the basis of God's love them? God's challenging us to tear down the walls of merit that the world has instilled in us from birth, and allow God to lay down the foundation of mercy, grace, and unconditional love for all people. This is God's message for us today.
God is not merit; God is unconditional love.
Lord, help me to tear down the walls of merit in my life and replace them with your foundation of love and grace. Amen.
This devotion is so true. Unfortunately, we do see the walls of merit in our churches, but with messages like yours, Pastor Todd, those walls can begin to come down.
Absolutely true! We need to show God's love wherever we are and in everything we are doing and by doing so we open an pathway for God to do His work in them and in us. What a wonderful world this would be if we could just love others the same way God loves us with no stipulations, limitations, expectations or conditions attached to it. Just letting God work through us and He gets the credit for touching others with His Love using our arms, voices, and actions in helping His creation to know Him better in a very personal way. By doing this, the people who have experienced God's grace and love will want to pass it on to others in the same way and ultimately it will become a domino effect from person to person. It is so wonderful to know that a person on this earth can love you just the way you are and help you to hurdle over situations in giving them hope and understanding just as God shows us on a daily basis. When we are willing and ready to reach out to connect with people in any given situation then God takes it the rest of the way. He connects with them in the most personal way ever. All we need to do is to be willing to be there for Him so he can take care of the rest. We are HIS Church and we should always be willing and ready to do whatever it takes for others to feel and experience His presences through us. Miracles will happen indeed! 🙂 We are all His children …. His creation and He loves us all equally no matter what we wear or how we look — He loves us unconditionally!
Love this devotional and I do hope and pray that people do come to reaching out and touching with God's love everywhere. By just doing that much for God you never know how far He will take it from there but I do know it will make a great big difference in that individuals life and leave an everlasting impression on their hearts for the rest of their lives. God will be so happy with us in doing so too.

Ду Вэй (; 9 февраля 1982, Чжэнчжоу, Хэнань, КНР) — китайский футболист, защитник. Выступал в сборной Китая, где являлся капитаном и участвовал в чемпионате мира 2002 года.

Клубная карьера
Ду Вэй начал футбольную карьеру в команде «Шанхай Кэйбл 02», представляющий третий по значимости дивизион Чемпионата Китая по футболу. В 2002 году его пригласили в «Шанхай Шэньхуа», где он начал играть на позиции центрального защитника и опорного полузащитника. Во втором профессиональном сезоне добился включения в основной состав команды и играл на постоянной основе. По итогам года с командой «Шанхай Шэньхуа» завоевал титул чемпиона Китайской Лиги Цзя-А до того, как она была официально переименована в Суперлигу Китая. Однако практически весь следующий сезон был вынужден пропустить из-за травмы, а команда неожиданно для всех выступила очень плохо, заняв 10-е место в Лиге.

После возвращения в строй он вновь стал игроком основного состава, а его игра на позиции центрального защитника заинтересовала шотландский «Селтик», а его агент Эдмунд Чу, президент РЭМП Менеджмент Груп () начал оформлять документы о переходе в Шотландскую Премьер-лигу в сезоне 2005/06 годов. Контракт был рассчитан на короткий срок — всего 6 месяцев, по итогам выступления срок мог быть продлён. В «Селтике» он несколько раз выступал в качестве запасного игрока, при этом находясь на скамейке, а дебют состоялся в третьем раунде Кубка Шотландии против «Клайда» 9 января 2006 года, в котором его команда неожиданно проиграла 2-1 . По итогам неудачного дебюта Ду Вэй был заменён во втором тайме. В итоге, контракт не был продлён, а игрок вернулся в Шанхай.

Вернувшись в «Шанхай Шэньхуа», Ду Вэй достаточно быстро стал снова попадать в основной состав, а затем, в сезоне 2008 года стал капитаном. 10 марта 2010 «Ханчжоу Гринтаун» объявил о переходе Ду Вэя, кроме того, за ним был сохранён номер 5. Также он стал капитаном новой команды, а на позиции защитника играл с бывшим одноклубником по «Шанхай Шэньхуа» Ын Ваи Чхиу. Помог команде выступить завоевать высшее в истории клуба место — 4-е и получить право впервые выступить в Лиге чемпионов Азии.

Международная карьера
Ду Вэй был капитаном молодёжной команды Китая (до 23) и олимпийской сборной, составленной преимущественно из её игроков в 2004 году. По итогам выступлений получил высокие оценки от известного игрока сборной Фань Чжии. На Чемпионате мира среди молодёжных команд 2001 года в Аргентине его заметил Марадона, который описал его как «скоростного игрока… с чувством того, как надо защищаться». С этого момента он начал попадать в состав первой сборной Китая, а его дебют состоялся в матче против национальной команды Тринидада и Тобаго в товарищеском матче 5 августа 2001 года, который завершился со счётом 3-0 в пользу китайской команды. Несмотря на отсутствие опыта выступления на международной арене, игрок и в дальнейшем вызывался в национальную сборную, так он попал на Чемпионат мира по футболу 2002 года, на который китайская сборная пробилась впервые в своей истории. Из-за травмы Ду Вэй не приглашался на матчи национальной команды для выступлений на Кубке Азии 2004 года, где команда попала в финал — Ари Хан предпочёл вызвать для игры в защите Чжэн Чжи. После турнира Ду Вэй вновь стал вызываться в национальную команду, в том числе он выступал на Кубке Азии 2007 года. Когда главным тренером Сборной Китая стал Гао Хунбо, Ду Вэй был избран капитаном, команда завоевала первое место в розыгрыше Чемпионата Восточной Азии 2010 года, а он сам был назван «лучшим игроком турнира».

Brokaw-McDougall House
Facility: Brokaw-McDougall House
Description: One of the finest remaining antebellum homes in Tallahassee is the Brokaw-McDougall House. It may be rented for weddings, receptions and other events, and the public may tour the home free of charge during the work week. When first built around 1856, the Brokaw-McDougall House was on the outskirts of town. Its original owner, Peres Bonney Brokaw, ran a prosperous livery stable business downtown, and also found time to serve in city government, the state legislature and in the Confederate cavalry. His daughter married Alexander McDougall, a recent immigrant from Scotland, and members of the Brokaw and McDougall families lived in the house until it was sold to the State of Florida in 1973. The house served as the headquarters for the Historic Tallahassee Preservation Board until June 1997. It is currently under the management of the City of Tallahassee. The Board serves as an advocate for historic preservation in Florida's capital city. Architecturally, the house is an outstanding Classical Revival building with a strong Italianate influence. The formal gardens were laid out in the early 1850s, prior to the construction of the main house. They were restored as a Bicentennial project of the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs. The public is welcome to tour this gracious old landmark.

Q: Remove left and right string in php and replace hi everyone i have problem. i have the code like this
$foo = array(':1:',':2:',':3:4:');

and I want the result is like this
$foo = array('1','2','3,4');

thank's before for help :)
sorry for my english

A: array_map() with a callback using trim() and str_replace() will do the trick:
$foo = array_map(function($val) {
    $val = trim($val, ':');
    return str_replace(':', ',', $val);
}, $foo);

A: Use the array_map() function to traverse and modify an array:
$foo = array_map(function($v) {
    return str_replace(':', ',', trim($v, ':'));
}, $foo);

I'm assuming you want to trim off leading and trailing colons and convert the others to commas. Your question isn't very clear in describing requirements.

Work in progress at Strandvallen - will there be a Cup game?
Next game which is supposed to be played at Strandvallen is the Cup-game towards Malmö FF. The game will probably be played the 4th of July, which is the last date to play on. An alternative would have been the saturday before, the 3rd of July. But since Juan Robledo will wed his Sofia that day we suppose that is not the choice of Mjällby.
Will there be time to play at Strandvallen?

Bye Bye Foundation Reviews - Legit or Scam?
IT Cosmetics is the brainchild of Jamie Kern Lima, who is a former news anchor. However, in her career, she had an extra challenge to tackle. A skin condition called rosacea had posed a big challenge in her professional formative years. As a young TV presenter, she had to try to think of a way to cover her condition and still look natural on camera.
Foundation after foundation, she kept looking for one which would do its job properly. An extensive list of foundations tried later, she had a thought. She could make her own foundation which would be perfect for her skin and all other skin types. Above all, she wanted to help make a healthy foundation. Its secondary strength would be its tremendous pigmentation performance.
Eventually, she teamed up with plastic surgeons and they launched a cosmetic line. It focuses on healthy heavy duty make up.
Jamie has set out to fulfill her dream of empowering people by "helping them realize their most beautiful selves".
This company doesn't offer many products. It has enough to cover your basic make-up. Concealer and finishing powder are available in a number of shades. So, each skin tone should be able to find a corresponding variation.
Lipstick is available in even more colors. This way, all the preferences are covered, be it lighter or darker make-up. However, it is special for another reason. It is a three-in-one product since it does the job of a lipstick, lip stain, and a lip balm. So, even with just one of these, you are completely covered.
Do you prefer your eyeliner in color instead of its usual black? If so, you will be happy to find out that IT Cosmetics offers eyeliner in a few colors besides black. Mascara, though, comes only in black. But then again, it is a natural choice for you to discreetly accentuate your lashes.
Face disc is another multi-purpose product. It has three shades within and can substitute a bronzer, blush, and eyeshadow. All of it in one disc is a great offer. Add the nourishing minerals to the equation and you have an outstanding cosmetic product. Match it with an IT brush, and you are all set to look your best.
The star of this line is Bye Bye Foundation. This is primarily a skin care product. It focuses on hydration and revitalization of your skin. Additionally, it is great at anti-aging and sun protection. Basically, it is one product which takes care of everything your skin needs.
On top of keeping your skin healthy, it also does a great job at covering all irreparable imperfections. Its highly pigmented formula can cover even the most serious of blemishes and redness. All the while, you won't be aware you have anything on your face. This is due to an amazingly light mineral formula.
Healthy ingredients in Bye Bye Foundation moisturize, smooth out, and soothe your skin over time. Your skin will look better even once you've removed the product.
However, many skin conditions are more serious and last a lifetime. These cases are exactly what IT Cosmetic had in mind while developing Bye Bye Foundation. Application of the product will depend on the condition you are dealing with and its severity. The key is in layers. One pump will give you mild coverage. On the other hand, three pumps will give you complete coverage.
The website even gives some pro tips on how exactly to apply this foundation, and a couple of tricks to up your make-up game.
The purchase of IT Cosmetics products seems to be limited to either a 7-piece pack or a 5-piece pack. The former contains every product the company offers, while the later comes without the eyeliner and the eyebrow pencil. Face disc and make-up brush come as a gift with either of the packs.
All in all, the price is more than acceptable for this type of pack.
IT Cosmetics claims to have customer service staff at customers' disposal 7 days a week morning till midnight. They are reachable through phone at 800-465-7613, or via email on their website: https://www.tryitnow.com/contactus.
If you happen to be dissatisfied with the performance of IT's products, you can return them for an almost full refund. Namely, shipping and handling costs will be subtracted from your amount. You have 60 days to try out all the products. If you spend all of it, just send the empty containers back, and that's it.
Admittedly, the online reviews aren't great. This is mostly due to bad experiences with the ordering options. Customers say they didn't know the packages of make-up will continue arriving monthly. Reportedly, the website didn't say anything about this.
Also, they disliked the fact that you cannot buy individual products online. Majority of these users like the products. However, the ordering options were enough to make them give up this company's cosmetics.
There are numerous competitors on the market who offer similar products, but very few who have a worthy competitor for Bye Bye Foundation.
Evitol, for example offers a great deal for its anti-aging crème. However, it does nothing when it SPF protection or covering of dark spots.
Home Mountain has a high-quality moisturizer which is also a great foundation. It's even approved and used by Hollywood studios. Still, it is not pigmented so it doesn't cover up anything.
Olea is probably the closest to dealing with all skin care problems at once. They have managed to make an all in one product just like IT has. However, it costs half the price of IT's full make-up pack. So, it's not too affordable.
The obvious place is online. Still, if you don't want a full-on make-up set delivered to you every month, you should probably consult their customer service as to what option to choose.
Otherwise, you can find these make-up items in larger cosmetics store chains, such as Ulta.
If you happen to have persistent skin conditions that you want to cover up, Bye Bye Foundation is definitely a good choice. It is gentle on the skin and covers up all the spots, blemishes, and redness. On top of it, it has anti-aging effects.
However, read the terms and conditions carefully before you order online. If it seems confusing, it's better to contact customer service than order and get stuck with piles of unnecessary products.
All in all, this gentle moisturizing foundation may be just what you've been looking for.

Many homeowners only replace their windows once or twice in their lifetime, which is why it's typical for them to be unfamiliar with the process until they need to go through it. There's a lot to learn about which design to choose and what installation methods are ideal for your situation. That said, it's vital to hire a trustworthy window company for the job.
What Can I Expect During the Window Replacement Process?
Every window contractor has a different approach for replacing windows, so make sure to ask this question beforehand. They should inform you about the project timeline and payment terms so you can make the necessary preparations. They should also discuss how they will construction-proof your home to prevent potential issues during the window replacement process.
How Should I Choose My New Windows?
Your new windows should meet your specific needs. Maybe you want to focus on curb appeal or energy efficiency. You might want to maximize sunlighting in some areas of your home or frame your lovely outdoor views. During your consultation, your contractor will assess your living conditions to determine the right window for your home. They can also explain the pros and cons of each window style, like casement windows, to help you make informed decisions.
Warranties not only add an extra layer of protection for your investment, but they also signify that your window contractor stands behind the quality of their work. Ask about the coverage of their warranty and clarify anything you find confusing so you can take the right steps when a problem arises.
Renewal by Andersen of Kansas is confident to answer all your window replacement questions to ensure your peace of mind. When you choose us as your reliable contractor, we'll take you through our signature service and provide you with the best home improvement project you've ever tackled.

Believe it or not, I came up with this Stuffed Salmon recipe one particular evening when I was feeling rather uninspired and didn't have much of anything left in the fridge… I hadn't taken any meat out of the freezer and I was all out of eggs, so protein was pretty much nowhere to be found. Disaster of disasters, even my stash of canned salmon was completely depleted. How could that even be possible?
Good thing is, I did have to go out to run a quick errand, so I'd be able to hit the grocery store on my way back home. I really didn't feel like spending hours in there, though, so I was hoping for a quick in and out.
Immediately upon entering, my attention got grabbed by a beautiful display of fresh wild salmon fillets, all piled up on mountains of shaved ice. Oh, there's something about that vision that I just can't resist. I always want to buy the whole display!
Lucky for me, the salmon was going for a reasonable price, so I asked the guy behind the counter to please, prepare two beautiful pre-portioned sized fillets for me and to please, (yes, again. I am very polite!) cut them right off the thickest center part.
Indeed, once I had the fish in my hands, the inspiration came to me like magic.
And magic is precisely what the dish turned out tasting like, too! In fact, I'd say that this entire dish is like pure magic. It's just heavenly good, SUPER easy and quick to make, yet it looks so elegant, you could very well serve this to guests on special occasions!
You'll need to start by sweating some green onions and mushrooms, to which you will then add a handful of chopped macadamia nuts.
Now I chose to use macadamia nuts because I really like their subtle, creamy flavor and the intense crunchiness that they have to them, but if you don't have any on hand, I take it any other nut would do the trick and would also confer its own personality to the dish.
…before the shrimps join the party and are also given a few seconds in the heat of things, just until they turn pink and opaque.
The stuffing is then given a few minutes to cool down, then mayo gets added to it. You will then need to help it find its way down the "pockets" that you've carefully carved in the salmon fillets.
Of course, that alone wouldn't be enough stuffing for my taste, so you need to mound more on top of the fillet!
It looks so much prettier that way, too!
The fillets then go in a scorching hot pan, skin side down, for about a minute, just to sear the skin nice and good. You'd be surprised how much personality this simple precaution gives to the dish! The skin becomes so crispy and SO tasty. Think chicken skin is yummy? Just wait 'til you tasted this!
After about a minute, you need to lower the heat, put a lid on and let your fish cook for 5-8 minutes, until the meat turns opaque.
If you like your salmon to remain a bit on the rare side, do not go over that 5 minute mark!
The fish then gets transferred to the oven where it will spend a few more minutes under the broiler, just until the stuffing starts to bubble and turns a beautiful golden brown.
And that's all there is to it. Really. This beautiful dish is now ready to be served.
Does this look moist and tender enough for you? And talk about TASTY!
I'm telling you guys, one taste of this dish and I can predict it will become a favorite of yours. In fact, you're probably going to get to know the recipe by heart in no time!
Make an incision lengtwhise in salmon fillets, without going all the way through. The skin has to remain intact.
I'm going to give this a try this weekend, wish me luck! I hope my dish looks as good as yours does.
I loveeee salmon!!!! Oh and this will go well with that chocolate cake you posted earlier!
I just adore you. You're recipes are fabulous!
Oh Sonia, I didn't think it was possible, but you have done it… You have made me love you even more. This is looks exactly like a dish my mom and I use to treat ourselves to at a local joint, but we can't have it anymore (booo allergies). Until now! When I showed this to my mom, she was grinning from ear to ear. Me thinks mothers day dinner??
Also made this last night (for the second time now) – and it was just amazing (again!). My fiance and I absolutely love it!
My only comment is to not skip the nuts (assuming you aren't allergic!); we skipped them the first time as we didn't have any, but had some this go around and we loved the crunch from the nuts!
Can't wait to try. I might use sunflower seeds or pine nuts instead of macadamia nuts.
Pine nuts have to be fantastic, probably even better than macadamia. Or at least just as good. Hope you like, Jenn.
IF someone doesnt like mayo, what is a good substitute?
Well, you can't really taste the mayo in this, alex… but I suppose you could always sub yogurt or sour cream if you do dairy.
Drain/strain whole fat yogurt for 72 hours in 'fridge. If you stir in a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon prior to stirring and straining your yogurt, it will become very creamy and thick. (Called Labneh in Middleastern countries) It is a great substitute for mayo/sour cream.
I just add a three-finger pinch of salt and the juice of 1/2 to 1lemon to a large container of full, fat yogurt. Stir and pour into strainer lined with cheese cloth or coffee filters. Place strainer in a bowl to catch liquid and place in 'fridge.
Empty whey from bowl every morning for 3 days. At this point, it is ready to enjoy.
Cooked this for dinner tonight and we absolutely loved it. The only thing I did different was add a crushed garlic clove to the green onions and mushrooms, only because I think I must add garlic to just about everything I cook 🙂 Can not wait to make this again, this is definitely a winner.
Love salmon. Need to try this.
Made this last night and it's a keeper for sure. Did not have nutmeg so I added 1/4 tsp of tarragon. I have never used macadamias before, but I loved their flavor and texture. Delicious!
Skipped the Shrimp. Replaced with more Spinach and Mushroom. Used Greek yogurt. Almonds. Garlic. Added a pinch of smoky paprika. Delightful. Thank you.
Skipped Shrimp. Doubled Spinach. Added Garlic. Added Red Pepper Flakes. Used Almonds. Half'ed the mayo. Added more nutmeg. Loved it.
Currently making this recipe now and can not wait til it's down. I love salmon, spinach, and shrimp ????
Hope it was to your liking, Nicole!
Made this tonight, along with homemade alfredo sauce and linguine, very, very good!
Happy to hear, Malinda! Thanks for taking the time to let me know!
I used cream cheese instead of mayo and it turned out wonderful. By adding nutmeg to the stuffing I was amazed. I also seasoned my salmon with a homemade Cajun season mix and some old bay seasoning. It was amazing! A spicy Cajun taste of the salmon and the sweet taste of the cream cheese stuffing. A wonderful dish. My family loved it.
I made this for a birthday dinner….it was delicious! I substituted Greek yogurt for the mayo & added a little garlic.
I have a vegan daughter. She and her 4 yr old daughter will be coming for Thanksgiving. On occasion she and daughter will eat salmon. This mouthwatering recipe is what I'll serve. Keep your fingers crossed that it will be successful. I'll add some garlic and surely use the Macadamia nuts. I've been searching the internet for just this recipe.
Well, I certainly hope it's to their liking. I think that this would be one of my mom's personal favorite recipes now. She makes it all the time whenever she's having company! Hope you feel the same about it once you've tried it!
By far one of the best recepies I have ever made. All ingredients are very well-balanced and the macadamia gives the special crunchy sensation. Congratulations for this recipe. 5 star by far.
Absolutely amazing!!!! I used cajun seasoning for the salmon but followed everything as described! Its sooooo good. I just stopped halfway thru eating just to leave a comment lol.
I would like to try this recipe for about 10 people. Is it possible to do the prep and then do it in the oven? What temp and for how long would you suggest.
Absolutely, Susan! I would go 450F, for about 10 minutes. That should do the trick!
I have made this dish many times because it is so good!
