Using headphones with hearing aids can sometimes be a difficult task for many hearing aid wearers. That's because the fit of the hearing aid can interfere with the placement of the headphones. Other problems can entail the microphone of the hearing aid sitting too close to the headphone speakers causing audio feedback.
These problems create a frustrating aspect of wearing hearing aids for many users who are accustomed to enjoying music on a long car ride, plane ride, or during their typical exercise routine. But, in actuality, most audiologists would argue that there is a headphone selection available for most everyone living with hearing aids. The challenge is identifying the one that's most compatible with your hearing aid type and placement.
Wearing headphones with hearing aids poses no additional risk to your hearing as long as you're responsibly using them at normal volume levels. The most challenging hearing aids to work with when it comes to headphone selections are those that sit behind the ear. Behind The Ear (BTE) and Receiver In The Canal (RIC) hearing aids both have at least some part that lies behind the ear. The best kind of headphones for these style hearing aids are those that fit over the ear instead of on top or in the ear. This configuration will keep the hearing aid microphone properly positioned an adequate distance from the headphone speaker to avoid audio feedback.
Noise canceling headphones may also be a good option for hearing aid wearers because they help block out ambient sound so that the user can focus more on the music. These kinds of headphones do put out a soft hissing sound, so it's best to try these before you buy these to make sure your hearing aid doesn't pick up on that.
In The Canal (ITC) hearing aid wearers are fortunate because their microphones are placed further away from the ear exterior. This fact opens up options for the kinds of headphones they can wear. Both on the ear and over the ear headphones are appropriate for this hearing aid.
Completely In The Canal (CIC), hearing aid wearers will experience the most luck with headphones. These users should be able to use over the ear, on the ear, or even in the ear headphones with little problem. As always, the best bet is to try these headphones before you buy them. Ask your friends and family if you can try on their existing headphones to get a better feel for what works and what doesn't. Chances are you know someone with all three types of headphones.
While expense is not necessarily a good indicator of quality, there are some makers of headphones that are better than others. Noise canceling headphones may be a good option, but if you are better off with standard headphones go with a pair that has a good reputation and are comfortable on your head. Comfort is especially important if you wear BTE or RIC phones.

Forbes – How The Founder Of Urban Specialists Is Focused On Ending Systemic Racism One Conversation At A Time
June>
Collaboration>
There's a common sentiment that athletes should just "shut up and dribble" and refrain from commenting on civil rights violations that are plaguing Black communities across the United States.
But after the senseless killings of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd—just the latest examples of the injustice plaguing the nation—numerous athletes, executives and professionals in the sports industry have been stepping up to offer support.
Bishop Omar Jahwar, the CEO and founder of Urban Specialists—a company that focuses on providing community for young adolescents headed down the wrong path—is taking this action a step further.
For the last 20-plus years, Bishop Jahwar has been strengthening Dallas' underserved community. Now, he's taking his efforts nationwide, with his Heal America Tour aiming to "examine structural racism and viable solutions for police brutality and beyond."
The tour's latest event was the "74 Days and 8 Minutes: A Course Correction Conversation on Race, Citizenship & Humanity," panel on June 24th, which featured conversations with culture influencers including sports analyst and NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, Dallas Mavericks owner and entrepreneur Mark Cuban, NBA champion Stephen Jackson and Raising Cane's founder Todd Graves. The goal? To establish how business leaders can create more diversity within their establishments and enforce law enforcement accountability and policy reform.
"It's just the right thing to do," Cuban says, about his involvement in the initiative.
Graves echoes that stance. "Right now, this is a tipping point in our country. What I think about for a business owner is that you have to help out your fellow brothers and sisters and you have to make a conscious effort and say, 'how many African-Americans, how many Hispanics are we pulling through our systems?' We have to be a lot better."
Bishop Jahwar spoke to For(bes) The Culture about adapting his initiative for high school and college curriculum, how the Black community can eliminate the "crabs in a bucket" stigma and how younger generations can get involved in the movement.
For(bes) The Culture: Why do you feel this is the right time to launch this program?
Bishop Omar Jahwar: I think it is the right time to launch this because it is a very fiery and ignited culture that we are in right now. Everyone is trying to figure out how we got here, not with just Covid-19, but racially. How did we get into this racial moment that has been brewing? After Ahmaud Arbery, we already decided that we had to do something. Then George Floyd was murdered, which galvanized the world. We were feeling the same way as everyone else and asked ourselves: what can we do to add to this conversation to turn the narrative in a different direction?
For(bes) The Culture: Why did you and your team feel it was needed for individuals across industries to be part of your platform?
Bishop Omar Jahwar: We have individuals from the political realm both locally and nationally that have joined in, such as T.I., Deion Sanders, Stephen Jackson, Mark Cuban, Van Jones and Todd Graves, the CEO of Raising Cane's.
There is a need for cultural influencers to state their beliefs right now. And there are those, like Van Jones, Mark Holden and Alice Johnson, whose policies are the faces of discrimination reform in America. All these people represent an idea that asks: how do we use our platforms to further the concept of humanity? It was important to partner with a larger group of individuals that we trust.
For(bes) The Culture: Will there be more panels like the June 24th one in the future?
Bishop Omar Jahwar: Yes, our next stop is Minneapolis, on July 14th, and we are going to Atlanta on August 25th. We have already visited Baton Rouge, Oakland, Dallas and Detroit, but yes, we are going to keep these going.
For(bes) The Culture: More than 20 years ago, you were appointed the first gang specialist in the state of Texas and gathered 400 gang members to discuss a peace treaty in Dallas. How do you plan on using some of the same techniques to try to negotiate with individuals that typically do not have to deal with systemic racism?
Bishop Omar Jahwar: When I first started dealing with the gangs, I would also set goals and focus on them. When I was working with the prisons, I would ask them how many of them want to stay there. It's the same thing that I would ask Mark Cuban and all the other [non-Black professionals]: How many of us are comfortable with the notion that we have two Americas? I think the common ground starts with our common sense, and then we have to tackle some hard issues. We all must be willing to go through that, and most people are eager to address these issues.
For(bes) The Culture: How can we as members of the Black community eliminate the "crabs in the bucket" mentality and better support one another?
Bishop Omar Jahwar: The "bucket" is too small and claustrophobic. When we start to come together rather than separate, we can eliminate and overcome. When you have incidents like what happened to George Floyd, some of the younger generations have been protesting and that makes us grow [rather than] shrink or stay silent. I'm glad to see that even though we are going through a lot, the human spirit is starting to come alive and is showing us that there is still hope to make it.
For(bes) The Culture: How can Millennials and Generation Z get involved in some of the things that you are currently working on?
Bishop Omar Jahwar: They should go to healamericatour.com or www.omarjahwar.com and find all the initiatives that I am involved in and all the other things we have going on. We also have partnerships connected to our organizations with others looking to do their part. We have been dealing with school curriculum for a very long time, and we have legislative costs for this to be part of the long-term curriculum in high school and college courses.
For(bes) The Culture: In 2016, former U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan invited you and your team to former President Barack Obama's final State of the Union Address and called the group "front-line poverty fighters." Can you share what that experience was like?
Bishop Omar Jahwar: It was an amazing event, and I cannot describe how proud I was to sit in there and hear President Barack Obama. I will also tell you, people did not see on video and television how stunning Michelle Obama was, and the room got quiet when she walked into the room. That moment was beautiful, and to be part of history—because that was his last State of the Union Address—meant a lot.
As for poverty-fighting, I think it is an appropriate title because I do not want my watch to end with poverty and violence being the most prevalent problems in urban neighborhoods. When my watch ends, I want to be able to say that we eliminated two of the biggest problems plaguing our community. I think my role on earth is to help eliminate those two issues.

#LSN_News
COOK COUNTY, MINNESOTA February 21, 2018 – (LSN) Following are highlights and key priorities covered at the Tuesday, Feb 21 Committee of the Whole meeting. New in 2018, Committee of the Whole meetings are taking place at 5 pm on the third Tuesday of the month, rather than at 1 pm, and allows for public comment and question.
1) Resident Arvis Thompson asked a question about the Consent Agenda and requested a copy of the policy. Explanation of the policy was provided. Consent items are continuing business items and items that have already been budgeted for. Consent agenda items are included in the Public Board Packet available for review on the County website on the Thursday prior to the meeting. Commissioners can ask to pull individual items at any meeting.
Ms. Thompson also asked about the difference of getting a loan and bonding. Bonding is the statutory process provided for local units of government to finance projects. Cities and Counties cannot go to the bank and get a loan. Different types of bonds can fund different types of projects or purchases, and each different type has a required public process. Typically, the length of the bond should be less than, or equal to, the life of the project or piece of equipment.
Overview of Proposed Communication Tower Ordinance Revision
This is the beginning of a process to revise the County's Tower Facilities Ordinance. A presentation by MIS Director Rena Rogers, provided an opportunity for County Commissioners and the public to get an overview of what is being proposed and why. This is the first step in a more in-depth public engagement process over the coming months.
Cook County's current Tower Ordinance was drafted in 2001 and included several benefits:
Goal of encouraging co-location to limit the number of towers
Limited height restrictions to avoid visibility of tower lights
Other general permitting requirements that would control the impact on the environment and the health and safety of residents.
However, many factors have changed in the bigger environment since then that weren't addressed in the original ordinance, and this revision is an opportunity to make the Ordinance more effective. Contributing factors and background info include:
The Middle-Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 mandated that State and local governments must approve eligible facilities requests (that do not substantially change the physical dimension of such towers) to ensure the timely deployment of wireless services. The current Ordinance made cell service co-location subject to the same process as building a new tower. Since this was a Conditional Use Permit process, the applicant could be denied. This is in conflict with the Federal regulations and ironically, the Policy did not really provide any incentive to co-locate which was in conflict with its primary goal of encouraging co-location.
The State of MN Department of Public Safety's Emergency Communication Network Division (ECN) has signed on to a Federal communication program called FirstNet. It provides a dedicated cell service network for public safety providers. AT&T is the vendor in charge of FirstNet and is under contract to build out this network over the next five years. The excess cell service capacity (when not being used by public safety) will be available for use by the public - not exclusive to AT&T; in fact, other providers like Verizon and T-Mobile can compete.
Because of this push for cell service, the County's Ordinance needs to align with Federal Law. As well, Cook County needs to be ready for co-location or these providers will work to build single-service towers, and because of the 2012 legislation, the County will have very little or no ability to manage this.
A little over a year ago, Cook County MIS went through a public process to create a Tower Request Policy. This Policy has a stated purpose of trying to balance services while reducing the negative impacts of towers. This is achieved by assigning priority to the types of services towers provide and trying to manage the tower infrastructure owned by the County to include high-priority services and minimize the proliferation of towers. The revision of the Tower Facility Ordinance brings the Policy and Ordinance in line.
Basics of the Proposed Ordinance
There are towers in key locations throughout the County. These locations already have infrastructure that support towers such as access roads, backhaul and electrical service. These 11 towers were primarily built in these locations because of their proximity to roads and people, and these are the locations most applicants are seeking. Most of these towers have lots of space on them, which means if we can direct applicants to these towers to co-locate we can minimize the need for additional towers.
The proposed revised ordinance differs from the original in that it encourages co-location by handling it through a request process. The process includes Land Services who advices when a Land Use Permit is needed.
Secondly, the revised ordinance creates Communication Districts, which are zoning districts defined by the parcel boundaries of existing towers. If a co-location request is made and the tower is not able to support the additional equipment, the next step for the applicant is to build a tower in the Communication District. Since the County owns most of the land that towers are currently on, this would be a public process and begin with approval by the Commissioners and then the appropriate studies and permits would follow. This protects our view shed (towers in one location versus seeing one in every direction) and prevents the construction on a new site (tearing up another high spot).
Finally, if this is not workable or approved, the applicant could request to build a tower in another location, which would require a Conditional Use Permit Process that involves public notification and comments.
To build a tower, whether it is in a communication district or outside of a communication district, requires many layers of documentation providing that co-location is not possible.
Any County Ordinance is subject to jurisdiction. The County does not have zoning authority over the United States Forest Service (USFS) National Forest Lands, the Department of Natural Resources or Tribal Lands. So, if the County says no to tower requests, the applicant may seek to put up a tower in these other locations. The County's current Ordinance makes co-location as difficult as building a tower. Under these conditions, the cell provider might choose to bypass the County and work with one of these other jurisdictions.
"The main objective of this Ordinance is to encourage and enable tower co-location, in key locations where infrastructure already exists," said Rena Rogers, Director – Cook County MIS Department. "If we make that relatively easy, the County will have an impact on limiting tower proliferation that is much greater than its authority."
Public Input & Ordinance Process
County Government has been listening to public concerns about tower proliferation, and other tower related issues. For this reason, we are proposing these updates to the Tower Ordinance allowing us to better manage the impacts of change, and specifically FirstNet. Cook County may not be able to slow or stop these changes, but we can manage them to minimize impacts through revisions to the Tower Facility Ordinance.
Once the draft ordinance is finalized, it will be published to the County website and a public hearing will be held at a Planning Commission Meeting (tentatively April 11). Notice of the public meeting and any input opportunities will also be published in the local paper and online.
Once the Planning Commission approves the draft of the new ordinance, it would be forwarded to the full County Board for final approval (potentially April 24).
ARMER Tower at Seagull Lake
Discussion of a proposed ARMER communications tower at the Gunflint Trail Volunteer Fire Department Hall 3 at Seagull Lake was held. As of last week, MnDOT has approached the USFS to understand and potentially obtain any necessary permitting that would be required to place an 80' tower and small equipment shelter at Hall 3. This option is being considered as a potential alternative to constructing significantly taller towers in other locations along the Gunflint Trail and would be a collaborative effort between the State, County, and Fire Department to provide ARMER radio coverage for the end of the trail area while minimizing the aesthetic impact a taller communication tower would have.
Once all the necessary technical and financial information is collected, Cook County's MIS Department, the Office of Emergency Management & Public Information and the Cook County Sheriff's Office, along with related partners, will host a Public Information & Input Session on the proposed tower. Details of public input opportunities will be published once they are confirmed.
Concerns voiced included:
need for the tower?
public safety usage and radio coverage,
and preservation of the area
Full details of Committee of the Whole Meetings are available through video footage, Agendas and Minutes at www.co.cook.mn.us. All County Board and Committee of the Whole Meetings are open to the public.

Stylish 1960s men's hats were full of color, patterns, and style. Most new men's hat styles today are replicas of vintage 1960s men's hats. The stingy brim fedoras in felt, tweed, and straw are popular styles today just as they were for men in the sixties. Classic men's 60s hats were the pinch front fedora, walker hat, and French beret. Casual or winter caps such as the trooper, Detroit, cadet or fur flip caps kept heads warm. Most men stopped wearing hats in the 1960s.
A few trendy hats emerged in the 70s. Western straw hats with braided leather bands, fuzzy fur felt hats in shades of gold, red or teal, leather or suede cowboy hats, floppy velvet velour hats (pimp hats) hats, oversized newsboy cap, and tall homburg hats.
These retro men's hats are some of the best options for new 1960s and 1970s style men's hats.

Nearly Half Of 2020 Dems Spent More Than Raised In Quarter 2
RHONA WISE/AFP/Getty Images, Justin Sullivan/Getty Images, RHONA WISE/AFP/Getty Images
Shelby Talcott Media Reporter
July 16, 2019 12:00 PM ET
Eleven 2020 Democratic presidential candidates spent more money than they raised in the second quarter, according to financial disclosures filed Monday.
Eight of the candidates only have less than $1 million remaining in the bank, while the five frontrunners have raked in approximately a combined $100 million, Politico reported. These financial disclosures come as the large Democratic field attempts to qualify for future debates, which the Democratic National Committee has put restrictions on.
Candidates who have spent more money than they raised include former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, who spent $500,000 more than he raised. Entering July, he had $84,000 left for the campaign, according to Politico. Washington Gov. Jay Inslee raised about $3.1 million in the second quarter, but spent $3.2 million and has $1.2 million left.
Sens. Amy Klobuchar, Cory Booker and Kirsten Gillibrand as well as former Rep. Beto O'Rourke all spent more than they raised as well, but have money leftover from previous fundraising. Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro spent over 80% of what he raised, and has about $1.1 million left in the bank.

While other candidates did not spend more than they raised, some finished the second quarter with limited funds. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and entrepreneur Andrew Yang both have less than $1 million left, Politico reported. (RELATED: More Women Donated To Trump Campaign In First Quarter Than Any 2020 Democrat)
Raising money early has become more important for 2020 candidates because additional requirements have been enacted in order to qualify for some of the primary debates. For the September debates, candidates must have at least 130,000 donors and have polled at least 2% in a minimum of four polls.
Currently, frontrunners former Vice President Joe Biden, California Sen. Kamala Harris, South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Sen. Bernie Sanders and Sen. Elizabeth Warren have met both requirements for the September debate. O'Rourke, Castro and Yang have met the rising donor threshold, but not the polling requirement.
Rep. Eric Swalwell was the first to bow out of the race on July 8 after raising a little over $880,000 for the quarter and spending more than he had raised.

Link rot (also called link death, link breaking, or reference rot) is the phenomenon of hyperlinks tending over time to cease to point to their originally targeted file, web page, or server due to that resource being relocated to a new address or becoming permanently unavailable. A link that no longer points to its target, often called a broken, dead, or orphaned link, is a specific form of dangling pointer.

The rate of link rot is a subject of study and research due to its significance to the internet's ability to preserve information. Estimates of that rate vary dramatically between studies.

Prevalence
A number of studies have examined the prevalence of link rot within the World Wide Web, in academic literature that uses URLs to cite web content, and within digital libraries.

A 2003 study found that on the Web, about one link out of every 200 broke each week, suggesting a half-life of 138 weeks. This rate was largely confirmed by a 2016–2017 study of links in Yahoo! Directory (which had stopped updating in 2014 after 21 years of development) that found the half-life of the directory's links to be two years.

A 2004 study showed that subsets of Web links (such as those targeting specific file types or those hosted by academic institution) could have dramatically different half-lives. The URLs selected for publication appear to have greater longevity than the average URL. A 2015 study by Weblock analyzed more than 180,000 links from references in the full-text corpora of three major open access publishers and found a half-life of about 14 years, generally confirming a 2005 study that found that half of the URLs cited in D-Lib Magazine articles were active 10 years after publication. Other studies have found higher rates of link rot in academic literature but typically suggest a half-life of four years or greater. A 2013 study in BMC Bioinformatics analyzed nearly 15,000 links in abstracts from Thomson Reuters's Web of Science citation index and found that the median lifespan of web pages was 9.3 years, and just 62% were archived. A 2021 study of external links in New York Times articles published between 1996 and 2019 found a half-life of about 15 years (with significant variance among content topics) but noted that 13% of functional links no longer lead to the original content—a phenomenon called content drift.

A 2002 study suggested that link rot within digital libraries is considerably slower than on the web, finding that about 3% of the objects were no longer accessible after one year (equating to a half-life of nearly 23 years).

Causes
Link rot can result from several occurrences. A target web page may be removed. The server that hosts the target page could fail, be removed from service, or relocate to a new domain name. A domain name's registration may lapse or be transferred to another party. Some causes will result in the link failing to find any target and returning an error such as HTTP 404. Other causes will cause a link to target content other than what was intended by the link's author.

Other reasons for broken links include:
 the restructuring of websites that causes changes in URLs (e.g.  might be moved to )
 relocation of formerly free content to behind a paywall
 a change in server architecture that results in code such as PHP functioning differently
 dynamic page content such as search results that changes by design
deletion of the target page and/or its content
 the presence of user-specific information (such as a login name) within the link
 deliberate blocking by content filters or firewalls
 the expiration of a domain name registration

Prevention and detection
Strategies for preventing link rot can focus on placing content where its likelihood of persisting is higher, authoring links that are less likely to be broken, taking steps to preserve existing links, or repairing links whose targets have been relocated or removed.

The creation of URLs that will not change with time is the fundamental method of preventing link rot. Preventive planning has been championed by Tim Berners-Lee and other web pioneers.

Strategies pertaining to the authorship of links include:
 linking to primary rather than secondary sources and prioritizing stable sites
 avoiding links that point to resources on researchers' personal pages
 using clean URLs or otherwise employing URL normalization or URL canonicalization
 using permalinks and persistent identifiers such as ARKs, DOIs, Handle System references, and PURLs
 avoiding linking to documents other than web pages
 avoiding deep linking
 linking to web archives such as the Internet Archive, WebCite, archive.today, Perma.cc, Amber or Arweave
Strategies pertaining to the protection of existing links include:
 using redirection mechanisms such as HTTP 301 to automatically refer browsers and crawlers to relocated content.
 using content management systems which can automatically update links when content within the same site is relocated or automatically replace links with canonical URLs
 integrating search resources into HTTP 404 pages

The detection of broken links may be done manually or automatically. Automated methods include plug-ins for content management systems as well as standalone broken-link checkers such as like Xenu's Link Sleuth. Automatic checking may not detect links that return a soft 404 or links that return a 200 OK response but point to content that has changed.

In Hawaiian, mo'olelo most commonly means story. It comes from two words: moʻo, meaning a succession or genealogical line, and ʻōlelo, meaning to speak or give voice to. We all carry individual and collective mo'olelo – of our history, our hopes, our ways of seeing the world, our fears, our sense of belonging. The land we live on, what Hawaiians call ʻāina, meaning that which feeds us, carries moʻolelo as well. And when it comes to Hawaiian culture, mo'olelo is at the heart, making it a fundamental part of the Hawaiʻi Department of Education's movement to transform learning for all – students, staff, families and community. To bring back a deep value and respect for mo'olelo and reclaim it as a foundational component of teaching and learning, to provide meaningful and embedded space for culture and community in the learning process, and to rethink how assessment looks, feels, and acts in our learning environments.

fresh pasta in the shape of about 4cm in diameter disk, typical Ligurian cuisine, cut with a wooden mold which simultaneously decorates the medallion.
This decoration in addition to cut the dough is used to "prepare" to better accommodate the dressing.
You can serve with any sauce, from pesto, to Walnut sauce or pine nuts.
Dating back to the Renaissance, corzetti were printed with the coats of arms of noble families, also to reiterate in ceremonies territorial dominance of the local family.
Corzetti origin of the name there are several theories: some say it comes from "ferro", ancient silver coin of the Republic of Genoa; others from "leathery" (a bit 'hard) and others to be "Crocetto" (from the cross engraved on the hosts).
In eastern Liguria, with the word "corzetto" it means both the wooden mold the dough so engraved.

Abstract: A search has been made for massive resonances decaying into a quark and a vector boson, qW or qZ, or a pair of vector bosons, WW, WZ, or ZZ, where each vector boson decays to hadronic final states. This search is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb−1 of proton–proton collisions collected in the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2011 at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. For sufficiently heavy resonances the decay products of each vector boson are merged into a single jet, and the event effectively has a dijet topology. The background from QCD dijet events is reduced using recently developed techniques that resolve jet substructure. A 95% CL lower limit is set on the mass of excited quark resonances decaying into qW (qZ) at 2.38 TeV (2.15 TeV) and upper limits are set on the cross section for resonances decaying to qW, qZ, WW, WZ, or ZZ final states.

Porto Hashing blog
My, what delightful weather we've been having of late, and on the 20th of January the elements did their level best to dissuade us from hashing. Approaching Povoa de Varzim, Deep Throat, hare with Cock Plucker, suggested to me that we might wish to call it off, and, when we arrived at the start, a car park beside the metro station in the town, a decidedly unenthusiastic Snorter wafted the same sentiment in the air. Shocked by such notions, I jumped about a bit in my shorts and t-shirt in an attempt to demonstrate that the conditions were fine and thereby inspire everyone to show some energy. It didn't seem to work; I merely received some strange looks and shudders whilst everyone tried to amass layers of clothing and squeeze tighter together beneath umbrellas. Walkie Talkie skulked about saying, 'no, I'm being serious, I'm not doing it. I'm not.' Twirlie was edging the same way.
Eventually, however, their complaints studiously ignored, a full compliment of fourteen set off, Twirly marking her farewell appearance in an extraordinary running outfit of Burberry mac, carrier bags over trainers and umbrella raised aloft (which, not surprisingly, ended up a twisted distortion that would have looked in place on a bomb site). Unsurprisingly, most chalk marks were long-gone, but there were plenty of strings to look for, if not necessarily to see if one forgot the height of the hares and missed the fact that many of them had been almost plastered by the wind and rain to the twigs or railings to which most were tied.
A reasonably rapid pace was maintained, nobody wanting to hang around for long and the hares often needing to call on-ons quite quickly. We wound about the margins of the town, squelching through some fields and reaching the Parque da Cidade on the outskirt near the motorway. Clearly designed by the same people as did Porto's equivalent (or possibly the same granite merchant), it is a pleasant green space, with a lake in the middle harbouring a variety of birds. Naturally, all the hashers were keen to stand about birdwatching and admiring the vistas, so, having run two-thirds of the way round, Walkie Talkie kindly gave us a lengthy opportunity to do just that. Shortly afterwards he opted to turn early for home; he duly got lost, as we discovered by phone later whilst in the warmth of a town centre cafe with a beer. Later, he was kindly to regale anyone in range (some of us, sadly, several times) with a story about how he had struggled to entice his penis out into the cold to take a pee on his journey back.
Roughly ten kilometres had been covered by the time we reached the cars (at the same time as Walkie Talkie) and by now everyone seemed quite happy to stand about drinking cold lager in the icy downpour. Well, for a while, anyhow. Enough time to celebrate Mrs Slocombe's ninetieth birthday, wish Twirly well as she moves to the Netherlands and recognise in customary fashion W T's greatness. Then it was off to the restaurant for an excellent value bash featuring picanha and grilled squid. By that time everything was all right again. Except for Noel's little fella.
So, next we are off to sunny, sunny Spain. After all this wind and rain, it'll be just what we need. So, here we come Santiago de Compostela ... ah - the city that markets itself as looking best in the rain. Oh, well. On. on!

New Year, New Year
Bow Job and Master Baker were the architects of our New Year cobweb-shaker this year, taking us down to Pacos de Brandao for this one. The beginning took us swiftly into some dense woodlands from which it seemed for a while we would never emerge. Most unlike Master Baker, it seemed the hares had been possessed by the spirit of Brunei Babe as we scrambled up and down wooded slopes, tearing our legs through twisted brambles, dodging the thwack of saplings and slap of wet leaves and occasionally breaking into a brief run. It was too tricky to be easy, but it was a slow start which at least kept everyone in close proximity in this first outing since Christmas.
Eventually we emerged onto the road on which we were parked, prompting one or two rebellious rascals to suggest a quick turn to home but instead now we found ourselves with the more expected running stretches. The route was a nice mixture of village and semi-rural patches with some lengthy on-ons that made one suffer if checking the wrong way. It was as well constructed as you would expect and was run in remarkably well behaved fashion. What is happening to hashers these days? Where has the stupidity gone? How can we have a hash with both Walkie Talkie and Mrs Slocombe yet no lunacy? Deviant was impressive on his first one for a while and Family Jewel managed to last rather longer than he did on the Jingle Bells. Gaynor was particularly noticeable for her far eastern hash t-shirt that would probably be enough to have you arrested in certain countries. Evidently not Vietnam, though.
Down-downs were most notable for the naming of Mark Hooley, desperate for something edgy and out-there, badger shagger or big cock, or something. So we named him Hairy Fairy. That done, it was off to scoff, a nice boisterous bash in one of the village's few restaurants.

Jingle Bells Jangled
So, it seems a while ago (there's a reason for that, I suppose), but we finished 2012's hashing in memorable style with a Jingle Bells run that saw the expected array of outlandish and festive costumes being hauled through wind and rain on a day that, under other circumstances, would have been deemed miserable. There is nothing like a hash though to dispell the miserable and so, albeit with numbers slightly foreshortened on the day, thirty-seven becostumed loons set off in good spirits from a spot around the corner from the Club (well, thirty-six, actually, Mrs Slocombe being so late that he only drove up as we were at the second checkpoint - he later claimed that this constituted being on time). After some meandering in the vicinity we turned to cross the Arrabida bridge, with driving wind and rain hitting us head-on, and nearly also the traffic, famously safe and reliable, of course, as it hurtled into Porto. There was not a great deal of stopping to enjoy the view on this occasion. By this stage we had lost one hare (Mega Tongue), three children (hers), and two lazy buggers (Walkie Talkie and Family Jewels), but the remaining thirty-one pressed on.
Once across, amid mutterings about how a return would be effected, given the distances to the other bridges and back, we headed down, via the shopping areas of Arrabida and the hilly back roads, with patches of the remaining greenery (around this time you might have heard, from the lips of older hahsers - let's say Bunbasher, to pluck a name out, something along the lines of 'when I were but a hashing lad, all this were fields and ...' before you ran out of earshot), until we reached the riverside at Afurada. A quick tour of the village gave the locals something to smile about before we stopped at the quayside to wait for the ferry to Foz. Eschewing centuries of cultural grooming and proud Porto tradition, the ferryman turned out to be a man keen to keep to timetables so we had to watch him go moments before we arrived and to wait patiently for his return, but when it came it was with Mega Tongue, her children and, most importantly (sorry, but let's be realistic, here!), the pit stop - bubbly and Christmas cake - which was polished off with impressive efficiency on the journey across the river.
Back on the other side, with Mega Tongue's brood now back in our midst, it was a half hour twist and turn back to the start, taking in the ever-hashworthy 'Romantic Routes', and the scenic delights of an on-back at the base of the Arrabida Bridge which was basically an enormous drug users injecting and dumping ground - not a place in which to take a tumble.
After soggy down-downs we repaired to the Club, which enabled a shower and warmth ahead of the excellent bash, complete with quiz and various awards. Best Costume went to Squirrel and Snorter (at last - all the years of hurt, all the outfits imposed upon her family, all the sewing machine hours had paid off for Squirrel - Greg, it's okay, you don't have to be the snowman again); Hash Moment of the Year for a while was a close run thing, Snorter's facial realignment garnering notable support, but eventually the clear winner was ... Squirrel and Spanker's brush with the law in the arse end of beyond back in the autumn; and finally, Hasher of the Year went two ways, to Spanker and Master Baker for their sterling efforts throughout the year.
Of course, all this was back on the 16th of December, and it has taken me that long to get around to writing about it, which means that tomorrow, as I write, we are back into it once more. 2013 is with us, the 425th weekend on the horizon. Time, like a naughty hasher, waits for no man.
On, on!

Cisco will make the switch between 400G Network to Data Centers
By dcp
Cloud, Hardware
Cisco Promise 400G Network in 2019
The Cisco announcement is the third one to be done in the past few months. The companies Juniper and Arista both made the commitment to the technology switches that would be capable of supporting 400G speeds.
Brad Casemore, IDC's VP for data center networks, told Data Center Knowledge "Everybody who sells to hyperscalers – whether that be Cisco, Juniper, Arista, or the white-box ODMs – will need to have 400GbE data center switches in their portfolio in 2019. There's really no alternative, and that's why you've seen a succession of 400GbE announcements from Juniper, Arista, and Cisco respectively. From a sales standpoint, they will all reach market at about the same time, but nobody wants to get outmaneuvered by a competitor."
In the particular case of Cisco they announced its first set of 400G switches that target hyperscale cloud providers, large enterprise data centers, and telecommunications providers moving to 5G.
In total there will be 4 network switches. Two of them will be for hyperscalers cloud platforms with high-bandwidth needs for things like video streaming (Cisco Nexus 3400-S), while the other two switches will be for high-end tech-savvy enterprises and service providers taking advantage of artificial intelligence and machine learning and service providers building 5G networks (new Nexus 9000). This was told to Data Center Knowledge by Thomas Scheibe, VP of product management for Cisco Data Center Switching.
He also added "We think 400GbE is the next frontier. One hundred gig has been reality for three years, and 400 gig is about to become reality." These new 400G switches have four times more throughput than their current offer of 100G. The networking giant, Cisco, is expecting to ship them in the first half of 2019.
Cisco predicts that by 2021 there will be more than 25 million 5G-capable devices in the world and more than 80 percent of all IP traffic will be video content.
Scheibe comments "Particularly in the service provider space we do see demand for moving compute closer to the edge, triggered by the amount of content and bandwidth to be delivered. NFV and 5G will clearly drive more edge data center deployments and in a smaller footprint." The new switches will support big data and apps that stream video, workloads that use AI and machine learning. Also small footprints are important for edge deployments that are constrained by space.
The new Nexus switches will be available in the first half of next year. Cisco with this new plan is moving into the data center switching portfolio.
"I should be able to define what I want to do in my data center, and then I should be able to automate and orchestrate policies and configure systems in the data center, and I need to have a feedback loop to ensure what is actually happening in the data center is what I wanted it to be" Scheibe says.

Imagine a musical melange, where a cross-genre of world music meets jazz and classical music, which communicates to the audience through folk-like melodies while showcasing the joys of group interplay and individual virtuosity. Welcome to the McCormack & Yarde Duo.
Andrew McCormack (piano) and Jason Yarde (saxes) have been playing and recording as a duo for nearly a decade, to immense critical acclaim, whether it's with the Elysian String Quartet or other internationally acclaimed artists.
A short film about the Andrew McCormack & Jason Yarde Duo, "M Y DUO".


Several weeks ago "The Average Joe Show" had it's biggest guest to date when former 2 Live Crew rapper and free speech advocate Luther Campbell stopped by our show to let us know what he's currently up to these days in the music world as well as share his thoughts on the Miami sports scene.
During his days with 2 Live Crew, Campbell had taken on many battles. His biggest battle (which he won) was with the U.S. Government over freedom of speech rights associated with the content on the album "As Nasty As They Wanna Be" released back in 1989. That battle went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
While on the show we discussed with Campbell a battle he was currently fighting with the Florida Department of Education to become permanently licensed as a football coach. In recent years Campbell had been serving his local Florida community as the defensive coordinator for two seasons at Miami Central High before assuming the same role at Miami Northwestern High School. The last few years Campbell had been able to coach under a temporary license that had been set to expire at the end of the 2012-2013 school year.
Not every county in Florida requires their high school coaches to be licensed but to be a coach in Miami-Dade County where Campbell is from you have to be licensed by the state of Florida's Education Practices Commission. Once again Campbell was fighting for his livelihood.
While talking with Campbell you could tell how important the privilege of creating a positive impact on the lives of young men and giving back to the community where he was raised by coaching high school football meant to him. I could hear the same passion in his voice that I heard once upon a time when he was fighting for free speech rights in the music world over 20 years ago.
A few days ago, Campbell's latest battle came to an end and once again he stood victorious as Florida's Education Practices Commission accepted a ruling from an administrative judge to grant Campbell a permanent license.
After reading the articles about his battles and hearing the struggles of his plight first hand I was very happy for "Uncle Luke". I knew how much this meant to him and I knew how devastated he would have been had the state of Florida taken coaching away from him.
Believe me, I get why some people are offended by the musical content on "As Nasty As They Wanna Be". It's very adult oriented and deals with a ton of sexual themes. I firmly believe that just because a musical artist writes about a particular subject matter that many may find offensive doesn't mean they necessarily believe in the subject themselves or define who they are as people.
Campbell's controversial music was made more than 20 years ago. Those that were against his granting of a permanent license were doing so because of what happened in his musical career. He is now in his early 50's is and not the same person he was in his late 20's.
Life happens and the way we see the world is forever evolving. A person who has never been in prison should not have their actions as a young person forever held against them as they become older and wiser in the journey of life.
Because of his actions as a young man, Campbell is in a position to have a positive impact on a new generation of young men who desperately need it. Most of the kids Campbell coaches are from rough neighborhoods and broken homes and are in desperate need of a positive role model. Campbell provides that for them. He is pointing them on a path to educational prosperity, which will enable them to positively impact their communities later on in life.
For Campbell, it isn't about the money. Based on the level of success he achieved in the music industry, I'm guessing he reached a level of financial prosperity long ago. In my humble opinion what Campbell is doing is of the greatest good. He wants to help people, is in a position to do so and asks for nothing in return.
Say what you want about Campbell's musical past but society needs more people like him. Not less. Congratulations to the state of Florida for recognizing that. However the biggest applause I have for the state of Florida is for recognizing Campbell for the person he currently is and not the artist he once was.

Many application problems can be phrased in terms of graph colorings. A defective coloring of a graph assigns colors to vertices so that a vertex can have at most one neighbor with the same color. We may further require the color classes of a defective coloring to have almost the same sizes, namely equitable-defective coloring. Take notice that a graph may have an equitable-defective t-coloring, but may not have an equitable-defective (t+1)-coloring. We study the equitable-defective coloring of sparse graphs. It is known that a planar graph with minimum degree at least 2 and girth at least 10 has an equitable (proper) t-coloring for any t ≥ 4. In this thesis, we show that under the same conditions, the graphs have an equitable defective 3-coloring as well.

This year we were exhibiting with something out of the box of any other surrounding exhibitor. It is a new technological development operating in an aerodynamic context and applying a feature no one ever did before: passively self shaping Aerodynamic Bodies who are able to adapt individually on the current aerodynamic condition. This bionically inspired idea is adapting a solution which is also common for birds, especially on their Wings. But yet this feature was rather neglected in it's physically importance for fluid dynamics.

Nothotsuga lognibractatea :a vulnerable pine
Dr Teena agrawal
Online First: February 14, 2018
Gymnosperms are the plants of always of the great values ,they are the trees without the fruit ,seed appears directly on the ovuliferous scales , gymnosperms has the remarkable history and the evolution .Mesozoic era was the era of the gymnosperms , they are presented by the three liens of the evolution ,these are the cycadales and coniferales and the genatales .conifers are the abundant kinds of the gymnosperms ,they have the three families which have the large distribution ,like the cupprssaceae ,Podocarpaceae and the pianecae .Pinaceae are characterises by the long conifer trees with the females and males cones ,commercially the females cones have the ouvuliferous scales .with the ovules on them .here in this review article we are presenting some of the aspects of the genus Nothotsuga longibracteata . This is common known as the Bristlecone hemlock.IUCN categories the genus as the vulnerable and some of the places of the china (native place) the population of the Nothotsuga are degrading so the trees need the conservation and propagation.

Rail technology leader Bombardier Transportation, as part of the Rail Systems Alliance (RSA), has won the contract to install its next-generation, high-capacity rail control solution for the 11 billion AUD Melbourne Metro Tunnel Project, Victoria's largest ever investment in public transport. The RSA comprises Bombardier Transportation, CPB Contractors, Melbourne Metro Rail Authority and Metro Trains Melbourne. Bombardier will deliver the signalling and rail control solution and systems integration. The value of the RSA Signalling and Communications package awarded by the Victorian State Government is approximately 1.1 billion AUD ($862 million US, 730 million euro). The contract for Bombardier is valued at approximately 310 million AUD ($238 million US, 202 million euro).
"The BOMBARDIER CITYFLO rail control solution is already moving cities across the world including Madrid, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur. Once installed in Melbourne, passengers will see services along the line safely run every two to three minutes", said Andrew Dudgeon, Managing Director of Bombardier Transportation Australia. "As the first high-capacity rail control project in Melbourne, and the first on an existing system in Australia, Bombardier is very excited to be working with our partners on this highly collaborative project to deliver the Victorian Government's vision of 'More Trains, More Often,'" he added.
Over 235 million passenger trips were made on the Melbourne Metropolitan Network from 2016 to 2017, a number forecast to grow significantly over the next 20 years, and Bombardier's advanced CITYFLO 650 rail control solution will help Melbourne meet this sharp capacity increase. The system to be installed on the Sunbury to Cranbourne/Pakenham Lines, including the new twin 9 km tunnels, will provide the city with its first high-capacity, metro-style operation, major capacity improvements and reduced journey times. The RSA will also develop skills through training and ensure an 80% spend on local equipment and raw materials. The system will be ready for operation in 2026.
With a 15-year service record and operating or in delivery on 37 lines worldwide, Bombardier's well-proven CITYFLO 650 solution can be installed quickly on new lines or with minimal disruption to existing services. Bombardier has been active in Australia for more than 60 years, delivering its extensive portfolio of winning mobility solutions from train and tram fleets to signalling, propulsion and control technology, mining solutions, asset management and through-life support on rail projects across the country.
Bombardier is headquartered in Montréal, Canada and our shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (BBD). In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, we posted revenues of $16.3 billion. News and information are available at bombardier.com or follow us on Twitter @Bombardier .

Communicating with your target audience today is paradoxically difficult. Yes, screens and devices from which to gather information are ubiquitous; but so are messages from others who are also trying to communicate with your target audience. Not only that, a litany of other obstacles stand in your way: ad-blocking software; smaller screens on wearables that make it harder for any kind of ad to be seen; ever-shrinking attention spans; ever-changing methods of communication.
In the short-term, this isn't a doomsday scenario. The majority of people are not yet using ad-blocking software or exclusively using smaller screens, so you can still deliver your message digitally to huge numbers of people.
Furthermore, over the long-term, we would argue the news is even brighter: but only if you take an all-encompassing approach to marketing. Why? Because the more things change, the more they stay the same.
Seth Godin coined the term "permission marketing," but we believe marketing has always been about permission. His genius wasn't creating a term or even a way of marketing, but in creating a mindset about marketing. What he got (and gets) is that the goal should always be to provide something enough people want for you to have a profitable business based on providing it. Everything else is simply how you find those people and let them know you have it.
Whether you use interruption marketing, content marketing, search engine marketing, whatever; they are all part of what we like to call a permission mission. What we mean by that is, no matter what you call your approach, it remains a means to the end of gaining permission to communicate with your target audience. Period.
To illustrate the point, think of marketing as a Venn diagram. One circle is a marketing strategy where you do nothing but shout your message at people in an attempt to get them to hear you and buy what you're selling. Another circle is where you do nothing but create original content, post it, and wait to be discovered. Both of these extremes can work on their own – but it's really, really rare.
Instead, by utilizing both methods, the two circles eventually intersect and you now have permission to interrupt your audience. The beauty of this, however, is that they don't feel interrupted. You have simply stayed in front of them enough to create awareness, so that when the right moment struck for them to notice your content, they were willing to grant you permission to continue to communicate with them.
But here's the thing: it's not the email or phone number you get from them that's the proverbial gold at the end of the rainbow. It's the fact that the person gave you their email. That means they saw enough value in what you had to say or what you were offering to essentially introduce themselves to you. Now it's up to you to continue to foster that relationship and keep the lines of communication open.
All of the obstacles listed above are just that – obstacles. They aren't impenetrable walls. If you adhere to the three key components of B2B marketing – identifying your audience, establishing your authority, and communicating with your audience – and implement your plan with an integrated strategy, you will get permission and your message will get through.
If this is a new concept to you or something you believe your business would benefit from, give us a call or shoot us an email. Either way, we hope we earned your permission to start telling you what 24 Communications can do to supercharge your B2B marketing effort.

California Bill to Allow Rape Victims to Pursue Justice Without a Time Limit
Norma, a 40-year-old woman living in California, says she was raped over 20 years ago. Despite the evidence against her assailant, she can't press charges because too much time has passed—but a new law may ensure that doesn't happen to future victims.

The arbitrary ten-year time limit for reporting rape in the state of California is one step closer to being abolished. Last Thursday, the California Assembly approved a bill 70-0 that would allow victims of rape and other felony sex crimes to pursue justice against their assailants, no matter how long they wait to come forward.
Activists say the measure could help fix law enforcement's dismal record when it comes to prosecuting rape. Only an estimated three percent of rapists ever see a day in jail, partially because some victims wait to press charges until after the statute of limitations has passed out of shame or fear of reprisal.

"Currently, California has no time limit on prosecuting murder or the embezzlement of public money," Ivy Bottini and Caroline Heldman, co-chairs of the End Rape Statute of Limitations Campaign, pointed out in a press release. "Surely rape should be treated as seriously as embezzlement."
Some victims already have evidence sitting in state possession that could prove they were raped, if only the laws on the books allowed for the evidence to be seen. Though the new California bill won't be retroactive, meaning that women who were raped years ago still won't be able to see justice, advocates see it as a crucial step forward.
Norma*, a 40-year-old resident of Bakersfield, is one woman who says California's statute of limitations on rape prosecution deprived her of justice. When she was a teenager, she tells Broadly, a 22-year-old family friend spotted her at a supermarket, offered to give her a ride home, and then raped her in a secluded patch of almond trees.
After her mother found out she was pregnant, according to Norma, she beat her and told her the rape was her fault, then forced her to carry the baby to term. "I hated my pregnancy," Norma says, choking back tears. "I hated what was growing inside me. I would hit my stomach and I just wanted to die."
I hated what was growing inside me. I would hit my stomach and I just wanted to die.
Norma's mother didn't report her daughter's rape—perhaps out of fear that police would realize her family, like many others in the San Joaquin Valley, was undocumented. But, crucially for Norma's potential legal case, her mother later dragged her to family court to collect child support from Norma's rapist. The court ordered a DNA test, confirming that the older man was the father, but the state didn't seek to press charges against him for statutory rape even though it was clear that's what had taken place.
Norma emphasizes that was just fourteen at the time, while her rapist was twenty-two. "You'd expect a judge to pick up on that," Norma said.
It was the early 90s, and Kern County's District Attorney office was being run by Ed Jagels, a public attorney who wrongly imprisoned two dozen people for sex abuse. But despite the so-called "witch hunt" against child sexual predators in Kern County, Norma's rapist wasn't questioned. "The whole process was so fast," Norma would later marvel. "They asked me for my name and that was it. In and out."
"You expect a parent to protect you, to stand up for you, to be there. But for me, it was just nothing like that," she added. "And the judge didn't do anything either."
After a suicide attempt more than twenty years later, Norma finally decided she wanted to use the evidence already submitted to the state to prove that she'd been raped but was told that California's statute of limitations had expired and she had no case. While sex crimes committed against minors can be tried before a victim's fortieth birthday, the ruling doesn't apply to crimes that took place before the law went into effect in 2015.

In a particularly Kafkaesque twist, the D.A. told Norma that because her family court case involved a minor, she wouldn't even be allowed to see the paperwork associated with it. "I tried to tell them, 'That minor was me!'" she said, but to no avail.
Today, Norma is fighting to ensure that other victims won't face similar injustices. She plans on attending a demonstration at the state capitol alongside Cosby survivors. "I don't want to hide," she said. "I'm not afraid anymore."
When asked what she would say to governor Jerry Brown, whom activists are hoping will soon sign the bill into law, she paused to gather her breath.
"I would say, 'You turned your back on me. Do I have to be rich for the state to do something about my rape? Do I have to be a certain color?' Because I wasn't wealthy; we were very poor. We had to save our pennies to buy a gallon of milk. If there's no justice for me, that's fine. But I want that justice for other women. I want for them to know that it's never too late."
*Norma did not want her last name used in this article.

This recipe is almost too good to share… but seeing as it's you, I'll spill.
This is the only pizza base recipe you'll ever need. Once you've made it, you'll soon know it by heart and be able to whip it up in a flash.
Soon you'll be so used to your delicious, thin, crispy, chewy pizzas that you wont be able to look at a Dominos in the same way again!
I kept mine simple with a tomato sauce, a swirl of homemade pesto and buffalo mozzarella, but you can use anything that takes your fancy. Four cheeses? Peperoni? Black olive, anchovy & fried egg pizza anyone?
This dough recipe makes enough for about 4 medium pizzas. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week… if you can resist it for that long.
Sift your flour & salt into a large mixing bowl, then make a well in the middle.
In a jug mix together your water, sugar, yeast & oil. Stir and leave to one side for a few mins before pouring into the hollow.
Use a metal spoon to slowly stir the flour into the liquid. Keep going until it's all mixed in. You should be left with a very sticky dough.
Now, flour your work surface & hands, pick up your dough and knead until you have a fairly smooth, springy dough.
Flour a large mixing bowl & place your dough inside.
Lightly dust with flour. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth/tea towel & leave somewhere warm.
Now the dough needs about an hour to prove, so leave it well alone.
After an hour it should have doubled in size.
Now rip off a piece of dough a little bigger than your fist. Pop it onto a floured surface and knead the hell out of it for a few mins. If it's still very sticky, keep adding flour until it starts to behave.
Ideally you want a very elastic, smooth ball of dough that can be stretched.
I found I had to use about a cup and a half of flour until it stopped being sticky.
Use a rolling pin (or bottle of wine) to smooth your dough into a pizza shape (don't worry about making it too round, we don't want it to look shop bought!). Get it as thin as you possibly can and then transfer to a lightly floured piece of aluminium foil.
Smear with a thin layer of tomato sauce.
To make this, grab 1 can of tomatoes, drain the liquid out of it and keep the plump little toms. Throw these into a processor/blender with a tsp of oregano, a clove of garlic & a tsp of salt. Blend. Done.
Next you'll want to spoon your pesto on top.
Homemade pesto is a completely different animal to the stuff you buy in a jar. It's punchy, fresh & just oozes summer! The colour alone makes it worth whipping up your own batch.
Grab one large basil plant, and roughly tear all of the leaves off. Throw some of the stems in too. Put them into a food processor with 50g of raw pine nuts, a cup of grated parmesan, two smallish cloves of garlic, half a cup of olive oil and a large pinch of salt.
Now, just before you pop any on your pizza, cut a little sliver of buffalo mozzarella and scoop up a little of your pesto. This is just a little treat for the chef. Pop it in your mouth, close your eyes & pretend you're relaxing on the Italian rivera. Blissful.
If you can bring yourself back to reality, put a couple tablespoons onto your pizza.
Having swirled your pesto onto your tomato, top with slices of fresh buffalo mozzarella.
Remove your baking tray from the oven and carefully lift your foil & pizza onto the underside of your baking tray.
Place the whole thing back in the oven and close the door.
Timings will depend on your oven but it should take about 10-12 mins to cook.
Serve with salad & a simple dressing. Cold white wine & friends.
Ps. This has around half the calories of most take away pizzas and costs next to nothing to whip up.
Although, if you're a low carb monster… give this a go instead.
