After a beautiful talk from Freda Kaplan, the Rebetzin of HGSS about the month of Kislev, I demonstrated some easy bakes Hanukkah treats.
Have a look and enjoy making my rainbow baked latkes!
In a food processor, grate separately the courgette, the onions, the beetroots, and the sweet potato. Put each vegetable in separate bowls. Squeeze out of each vegetable any extra liquid; it is easier with your hands. Add two eggs beaten in each bowl, and one or two tablespoons of matzo meal until the mixture is no longer runny and stir to blend. Season to taste, with the salt and pepper, and chopped herbs. Mix with your hands and form some small round latkes.
Spray two baking sheets with oil.
Add your latkes, and spray the top with oil.
Cook for 15 on one side. Turn over, and cook for an additional 10/15 minutes to obtain golden latkes.
Serve with yogurt, sour cream flavored with different spices, or with any other sauce of your choice.
You can do the same with apples, pears, mixed with sugar, cinnamon, raisins, etc… you can replace the matzo meal with ground almonds or ground walnuts.
In a bowl mix all ingredients together until they are all blended and that you can form a neat ball. If, touching the dough, you feel you need more water or more flour, add them gradually and not too much at once.
On a clean worktop, knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes elastic and until you hear a "click" noise when you are kneading it.
Leave the two doughs to rest and rise on your worktop and cover it with cling film for at least one hour or until the dough at least doubles in size. The temperature of the room has to be warm to help the rising process.
Divide your doughs into 40-50 doughnuts, form them and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Spray two baking sheets with oil, and put your doughnuts on the tray. Spray the doughnuts with oil. Cook them in the oven for 12-15 minutes until they become golden brown.
To fill them, make gently a hole in the middle, and using a piping bag fill them with crème patissiere or jam, or chocolate spread.
Then prepare the crème patissiere: split the vanilla pod in half lengthways. Put in a pan with the milk and bring to the boil.
Beat the sugar and egg yolks in a large bowl, until the mixture is white and fluffy. Stir in the flour.
Pour over the hot milk and stir. Pour everything back in the pan and cook over a medium heat, whisking all the time making sure the custard doesn't catch at the edges and the bottom of the pan.
When the custard is thick and just before it boils, remove from the hob and return to the bowl to cool.
1,5 kilog of dattes of good quality, pitted.
Place the semolina in a bowl, cover and combine with water, sugar and oil in a pan and bring to a boil. Stir to ensure the sugar is completely dissolved then pour over the semolina. Stir well to combine then cover the bowl and set aside to stand for 10 minutes.
After this time fluff the semolina with a fork to separate the grains before adding the nuts and dates and stirring to combine. Transfer the mixture to a dish about 33 x 22 x 5cm in size then cover and set aside to cool completely.
Once cold transfer to an oven pre-heated to 180°C and bake for about 20 minutes, or until heated through. Spoon into serving bowls and serve accompanied by a jug of hot milk and a bowl of sugar.

Pencil Skirts and Noodle Necklaces: My Time...For Myles.
Pretty much every night (with the exception of a night that we are having just way too much fun) I go running. It is a minimum of a half-hour that I can dedicate to just myself. I am completely alone in my head and I can think through things. I guess it is kind of selfish that I put such a high priority on going out each night....but at least I typically wait for the kiddies to go to bed and I hit the road. Honestly, I think Ben likes it that I go each night. I always come home in a great mood... You can read more about how I feel about running here.
Myles admires my running. He always likes to know what race I am training for or how far I am going to run each night. He talks about how cool it is and that he wants to go running with me sometime. He plans to run a 5K next year, "When he is big." So, tonight he asked me at the dinner table if he could go running with me. Ben, protective of my sacred time, started telling him right away, "Buddy, Mom runs really far and really fast and I think it would be hard for you to go." It was awesome to say YES. Of course he could go with me. My time was his time tonight.
So, instead of waiting until later into the evening, we went upstairs after dinner to get our running clothes on. He was very specific about what he wanted to wear...sleeveless, nike, and his "tennus shoes". He wanted to look just like me. Had I thought through the fact that Ben would whip out his iPhone and take a picture, I may have opted for something other than this running tank circa 2002. Oh-well.
Off we went. His pace. His conversation. He talked the whole way. His little legs were moving so fast and his arms were pumping as fast as they could. His little cross-trainers were stomping on the pavement, every step he took. Every single neighbor we saw he yelled, "HI!!!! I'm going running for the first time with my mom!!! She always goes running, but this time I'm going toooooo!!!" It was like a script he prepared for each person he encountered. We talked about running, races, animals, the lake, getting big, his wiggly teeth that are close to coming out...you name it, he covered it. We ran a quick lake loop that totaled somewhere a bit over a mile. He walked a little bit, but I don't know that it was actually because he was too tired. I think he just wanted to walk and talk along the lake.
It was the best run I've ever had.

Family First NZ says that the Select Committee considering David Seymour's assisted suicide bill have been unable to agree that the bill be passed, and warn that the bill is 'not workable in its present state'.
"No real, substantive changes have been made to the bill – it's still a mess. The Committee has made no judgement on the Bill, no indication of what substantive changes could make it better, but have simply left that up to the whole House, despite many MPs who voted for the bill in the 1st Reading saying that they would be waiting for the Committee to tell them how to make the bill better and safer before supporting it further. The message to these MPs is now clear – kill the bill," says Bob McCoskrie, National Director of Family First NZ.
"This Bill is just as much of a mess coming out of Committee as it was going in. The Committee was given 16 months to study the bill, hear submissions, and try to fix it. They simply couldn't, because it's a flawed, dangerous bill," says Mr McCoskrie.
Family First NZ is welcoming ACT MP David Seymour's significant backdowns on his assisted suicide bill, and says that this indicates just how weak and flawed the bill is.
"The backdowns are certainly in contrast to his earlier attacks on our justified concerns, including his statements that There's just so much scaremongering that doesn't stand up to evidence and One of the biggest obstacles are MPs who are not in touch with their electorates…and also MPs who may have been coloured by some of the scare-mongering from the other side. There was never any 'scaremongering'. There was – and continues to be – opposition to this bill based on credible research internationally in jurisdictions that have euthanasia available, and from medical professionals in New Zealand who know the effect such a law would have on their work and on society," says Bob McCoskrie, National Director of Family First NZ.
Family First NZ says that the overwhelming opposition to David Seymour's assisted suicide bill by submitters to the Select Committee is no surprise and was already indicated during the earlier Inquiry by the Health Select Committee.
According to an analysis of a substantial number of the submissions by the Care Alliance, a whopping 92% of submissions are against David Seymour's bill, and is significantly higher than the already-high 77% opposition during the Health Select Committee's earlier investigation.
"This is opposition from all walks of life and professional groups across the spectrum. Supporters of assisted suicide have tried to argue that the only opposition comes from 'religious' people, but in the recent Inquiry, 82% of submissions opposed to euthanasia contained no reference to religious arguments. Ironically, 208 submissions referred to religious reasoning in supporting euthanasia," says Bob McCoskrie, National Director of Family First NZ.
Family First NZ is welcoming the decision in the Wellington High Court of the conviction and fining of Susan Austen who enabled a woman to commit suicide. Family First is now calling on the police to lay similar charges against Dr Philip Nitschke.
Family First is also calling on the Voluntary Euthanasia Society to return the donations of suicide victim Annemarie Treadwell. It is disturbing and ethically questionable that VES are profiting from aiding and abetting suicide and questions whether the case is more about coercion than compassion.
"The case shows that we should be very wary of groups and politicians calling for euthanasia laws. They propose a dangerous law, far wider than what they will publicly admit, based on the so-called right or choice of suicide to those who want it. The victim was a life-member of EXIT and was suffering from depression and arthritis but was physically fit and not suffering a terminal illness," says Bob McCoskrie, National Director of Family First NZ.
Last year, Nitschke was exposed for selling suicide kits disguised as equipment for home-brewing beer. No controls. Just a credit card required. Vulnerable people are being exploited by his agenda and the police need to protect NZ'ers from him and groups associated with him.
The Medical Board of Australia has imposed 25 strict conditions on Nitschke who they rightly believe "presents a serious risk to public health and safety".
Family First NZ says police are absolutely correct to be investigating, shutting down and prosecuting the promotion of suicide in New Zealand, and especially the operations of Philip Nitschke.
"The intent of the police was correct when checking on supporters of Exit International. Nitschke promotes suicide, has left a trail of destruction, and is evidence of just how far some euthanasia advocates will take an assisted suicide law if it was ever introduced. Just last year, Nitschke was exposed for selling suicide kits disguised as equipment for home-brewing beer. No controls. Just a credit card required. Vulnerable people are being exploited by his agenda and the police need to protect NZ'ers from him and groups associated with him," says Bob McCoskrie, National Director of Family First NZ.
The Medical Board of Australia has imposed 25 strict conditions on Nitschke who they rightly believe "presents a serious risk to public health and safety". In 2014 Nitschke came under fire from two Australian suicide prevention organisations, Beyond Blue and the Black Dog Institute, after his involvement in the suicide of a physically healthy 45-year-old Australian man, Nigel Brayley.
A Wellington woman ended her life with Nembutal in 2008, after receiving advice on how to obtain it from Dr Nitschke. She was a life-member of EXIT and was suffering from depression but was physically fit and not suffering a terminal illness.
In response to ACT MP David Seymour's euthanasia bill passing it's 1st Reading tonight, Family First NZ is immediately launching a strong nationwide campaign to stop the flawed and dangerous bill.
Family First will be releasing a 16-page resource this week to help families and organisations flood the Select Committee with submissions opposing the law.
"Safe euthanasia is a myth. Euthanasia will remove the 'choice' of many vulnerable people, and fails the public safety test. Most disturbingly, promotion of assisted suicide is a message that will be heard not just by those with a terminal illness but also by anyone tempted to think he or she can no longer cope with their suffering – whatever the nature of that suffering. This is the real risk to young and to vulnerable people, the disabled and elderly people if NZ follows the path of promoting – and allowing – assisted suicide," says Bob McCoskrie, National Director of Family First NZ.
The recent parliamentary inquiry sounded a clear warning that changing the law on assisted suicide could be seen as normalising suicide, and an overwhelming 80% of the 21,000+ submitters – in an extensive and lengthy inquiry – have rejected calls for euthanasia.
Family First NZ is welcoming media comments made by the new Minister of Health during the election campaign regarding David Seymour's euthanasia bill, including the commitment that he will vote against it.
Labour MP Dr David Clark said he supported the health select committee investigation into euthanasia which received over 21,000 submission of which 80% were opposed to euthanasia.
"Dr Clark is completely correct. The government report released in August revealed a massive level of opposition to euthanasia, and explains why a select committee comprising both proponents and opponents of assisted suicide could not endorse any change to the law. They understand that promotion of assisted suicide is a message that will be heard not just by those with a terminal illness but also by anyone tempted to think he or she can no longer cope with their suffering – whatever the nature of that suffering. This is the real risk to young and to vulnerable people, the disabled and elderly people if NZ follows the path of promoting – and allowing – assisted suicide," says Bob McCoskrie, National Director of Family First NZ.

Serious Fraud Office in plea for £21m in extra funding
By Mark Sands	 8th January 2016 8:58 am
The Serious Fraud Office has requested an extra £21.1m in funding from parliament, with £15.5m sought urgently.
The demand was revealed in a statement to parliament from Solicitor General Robert Buckland, and comes six months after the SFO requested a further £10m from MPs.
The SFO operates on an annual budget of around £33m, but is able to request extra funds from parliament.
Buckland said the cost would cover "significant investigations and the settlement of material liabilities".
However, Labour has questioned the increase, questioning whether the funding method allows Chancellor George Osborne undue influence in prosecutions pursued by the fraud watchdog.
Shadow attorney-general Catherine McKinnell told the FT: "This is the third year running that the SFO has had to go cap in hand to the Treasury for contingency funding equivalent to over half its budget.
"This sticking-plaster approach is neither sustainable nor transparent and it simply cannot be right that George Osborne [the chancellor] gets to decide which major cases should be investigated."

Four Dances by W. H. Squire - Arranged for Violin and Guitar
Danse Rustique Op. 20, No. 5 (1895)
Bourrée Op. 24 (1902)
Sérénade Op. 15 (1892)
Tarantella Op. 23 (1896)
William Henry Squire (1871-1963) was a British cellist, composer and music professor of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He studied cello at the Royal College of Music, and became professor of cello at the Royal College and Guildhall schools of music. He was principal cello in several major London orchestras and helped to popularize the cello as a solo instrument in the early years of the 20th century by giving public concerts throughout the British Isles and making recordings.
By the late 1890s, when Squire was employed by the Queen's Hall Orchestra, he was already busy publishing a great deal of cello and piano music. He preferred to write small-scale works for one or two performers most likely written for cello students or for his own performances at London concert halls. His pieces for cello and piano can almost entirely be characterized as light, short "character pieces". Several of his pieces were premiered at London's Henry Wood Promenade Concerts with Squire himself often performing the solo cello part.
For this publication, arranger Gregg Nestor has chosen four youthful and contrasting dances by the composer that were composed for cello between 1892 - 1902, and arranged them for violin and guitar.
The Danse rustique, Op. 20, No. 5 (1895) has been the second most popular Associated Board Musical Examination selection since it was first listed in the 1920 syllabus.
Bourrée, Op. 24 (1902) was first performed by the composer that same year at Bechstein Hall in London, as well as the gentle British vaudeville music-hall feel of the Sérénade, Op. 15 (1892) as additional items in a predominately vocal recital. Gregg Nestor has added the marking "Tempo de Sicilienne", as a tip-of-the-hat to the French composer Gabriel Fauré, who was a great admirer of Squire's warm and expressive playing, and who dedicated his popular Sicilienne to him.
Finally the Tarantella, Op. 23, (1896), has been the most popular Associated Board Musical Examination selection of W.H. Squire since first chosen in 1928.
These four pieces can be performed separately or together as a suite for concert purposes.

Storage for advanced concentrated solar power (CSP) plants
Ellen B. Stechel, a professor of practice in the School of Molecular Sciences and co director of ASU LightWorks®, received $3.3 million for a project to develop long term storage for advanced concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) plants. Year round, day and night, on demand power generation is the next solar frontier and essential to deep penetration of solar energy. The ASU led team will develop and integrate technologies that provide multi tier energy storage, spanning hours to months, and enable oncentrated solar power (CSP) plants to guarantee year round power generation and dispatch via a supercritical carbon dioxide power cycle.
Yu Yao, an assistant professor in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering, received $2 million to develop imaging systems using polarimetry -the measurement of how light rays are polarized. Measuring polarization has the potential to provide much richer information of objects than conventional optical imagers which measure only intensity and color. The imaging systems will be small enough to attach to drones and be deployed to evaluate the performance of CSP collector systems. They can also be attached to oncentrating solar power (CSP) plant power towers. Autonomous imaging will reveal damage and soiling on collector mirrors, and reduce errors in mirror alignment, resulting in improved efficiency.
In addition to the ASU awards, In addition to the ASU awards, Swift Coat, an ASU spin-out company founded by Associate Professor Zachary Holman and doctoral student Peter Firth, received $1 million to make and scale multilayer, antireflective and antisoiling coatings for solar glass that will be deposited by a technique that sprays dry nanoparticles. The coatings have the potential to increase annual energy yield by reducing the loss of energy output that results when light gets reflected or when dirt lands on the modules. They will also reduce operation and maintenance costs because the modules won't require as much cleaning. The team will perform outdoor testing in collaboration with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
Swift Coat also was awarded $400,000 as a subcontractor for an Energy Materials Corporation research project developing low-cost, high-efficiency solar modules using intense pulsed light to fuse cell layers.
«ASU's leadership in photon-inspired approaches continues to define tomorrow's energy solutions, said Sethuraman «Panch» Panchanathan, executive vice president of Knowledge Enterprise and chief research and innovation officer at ASU. «Collaborative alliances between industry leaders like First Solar and ASU spinouts like Swift Coat enhance ASU's ability to deliver meaningful economic impact in the metropolitan area.
Arizona State University has received five prestigious Department of Energy awards totaling $9.8 million in this year's Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) awards to advance solar energy research and development.
Overall SETO funding for fiscal year 2019 totaled $128 million for 75 projects designed to «lower solar electricity costs while working to boost solar manufacturing, reduce red tape, and make solar systems more resilient to cyberattacks,» according to the DOE.
«This is the fourth consecutive year ASU has been a top recipient of SETO funding, and this year we are ranked among national research labs and private industry,» said Kyle Squires, dean of the Fulton Schools of Engineering. «Our faculty members have demonstrated time and again that ASU's capacity for collaboration and innovation warrants the nation's investment in our vision for solving the energy needs of the future.»
ASU's 2019 SETO Award recipients
Mariana Bertoni, an associate professor in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering, received $2.5 million to address using sound waves instead of a metal saw to create the base, or substrate, of a solar cell, reducing waste and improving the lifetime of the substrate. The team will prove the viability of a sonic wafering process that uses low temperatures and intense sound waves to carefully and accurately remove completed gallium arsenide solar cells from the top surface of a thick wafer to reuse III-V substrates, so named for the semiconductor materials in groups III and V of the periodic table. This work would significantly reduce the cost of producing high-quality III-V substrates, one of the costliest components of this type of solar cell.
Bertoni and Rico Meier, an assistant research professor in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering, received $200,000 to develop a method of using very high-frequency sound waves to characterize the module lamination process, paying particular attention to specific bonding structures in the ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) encapsulation layer, and quantify the achievable resolution and measurement uncertainties. This work will deliver new insights into how defects and lamination are related and how to optimize the lamination process, ultimately at the industrial scale.
Christiana Honsberg, Quantum Energy and Sustainable Solar Technologies Engineering Research (QESST) Director and Stanislau Herasimenka, an assistant research professor in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering, received $1.8 million to leverage the advanced cell and module prototyping facilities at ASU to support the companies that aim to prove the viability of new photovoltaic (PV) technologies but don't have access to industry relevant manufacturing equipment. The foundry will focus on post-passivated emitter rear contact silicon solar cell and module technologies, which are built to reduce recombination losses in the cell and are expected to grow to dominate the manufacturing landscape.
«I'm also incredibly proud of Assistant Professor Zachary Holman and doctoral student Peter Firth, who were awarded $1.4 million in SETO funding,» continued Panchanathan. «Their work is evidence of the wealth of research talent we have here at ASU, as well as demonstrates the significant societal impact realized through partnership efforts.» 16-11-2019|Categorías: BREAKING NEWS, NEWS, Sin categoría, Storage, Top News|Etiquetas: Arizona State University, Concentrated Solar Power, CSP, storage

From FDR to JFK, Presidents Took Center Stage at Baseball All-Star Games in DC
The Midsummer Classic returns to DC for the first time in nearly a half-century
By Frederic J. Frommer	• Published at 2:56 pm on July 9, 2018
On a hot sticky July day in Washington 81 years ago, President Franklin D. Roosevelt made his way to the tiny ballpark two miles northeast of the White House, escaping a political storm of his own making.
On his heels over his unpopular plan to "pack" the U.S. Supreme Court with extra justices to overcome a court that had stymied some of his New Deal legislation, FDR found campaign-style adoration at the 1937 All-Star Game. Before the game, American League and National League stars lined a parade route on the field as the grinning president rode past, waving his hat to the fans from the back seat of a convertible. Later, he threw out the first pitch from his presidential box.
That afternoon marked the first time Washington hosted the All-Star Game, and it would do so again in 1956, 1962, and 1969, with presidents playing a central role in three of the four games. Next week, the Midsummer Classic returns to DC for the first time in nearly a half-century. The White House has not yet said whether President Trump will throw out the first pitch on July 17. If so, he'd be continuing a summer tradition started by FDR, who died a year before Trump was born in 1946.

Whether Trump shows up or not, next month's All-Star Game will be the hottest ticket of the summer, just as it was eight decades ago. In 1937, the Washington Post society editor called the All-Star Game "the most thrilling event of the summer social season." Celebrities filled Griffith Stadium, including Cabinet secretaries, military leaders, members of Congress, and the 42-year-old FBI director, J. Edgar Hoover. Fans without connections could buy $1.65 seats from scalpers for $20 ($345 in today's dollars).
But FDR's battle with Congress over his court-packing plan almost cost senators a chance to watch the game. While the House adjourned for the day so members could attend, Senate Majority Leader Joseph T. Robinson, D-Ark., announced that the Senate would meet to take up a compromise version of FDR's court-packing proposal.
As Robinson saw it, there was no justification for suspending Senate action "in order that members may have an opportunity of attending a baseball game." He wound up relenting, at least halfway - scheduling a morning session and adjourning at 1 p.m., giving senators time to make it up to the ballpark at Georgia Avenue NW for the afternoon game.
FDR, who had won a landslide re-election the previous November but was under attack for a court-packing plan unpopular with both parties, got a respite at the ballpark. The president, who suffered from polio, once told Washington Senators owner Clark Griffith, "If I didn't have to hobble up those steps in front of all these people, I'd be out at the ballpark every day."
When the Nationals host the All-Star Game, they will do so as legitimate World Series contenders. That was not the case for the Senators in 1937, when their best baseball was in the rearview mirror. The team had won its final pennant in FDR's first year in office, 1933. At the All-Star Break in 1937, Washington was mired in sixth place in the eight-team American League, and they would draw just 398,000 fans that season - attendance tamped down by the Great Depression and bad baseball.
New Yorkers ran the show in Washington that summer. Because they had won the previous year's pennants, New York Yankees manager Joe McCarthy and New York Giants manager Bill Terry were in charge of the All-Star teams. McCarthy didn't mind playing favorites, starting five Yankees in the AL lineup, including a young Joe DiMaggio and an aging Lou Gehrig. As Washington Post sports columnist Shirley Povich described it: "A neat packing job by manager Joe McCarthy with President Franklin D. Roosevelt looking on - perhaps wistfully."
The National League lineup, meanwhile, boasted an astonishing seven players who were hitting .349 or higher at the break - led by St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Ducky Medwick (.404), who wound up winning the last Triple Crown in NL history that season.
It was against this backdrop that the host team was relegated to an afterthought at its own ballpark. McCarthy kept all three Senators - second baseman Buddy Myer, and the pitcher-catcher brother duo of Wes and Rick Ferrell - on the bench the entire game, putting a bigger emphasis on winning the game than mollifying the local fans.
The pitching matchup that afternoon pitted colorful St. Louis Cardinals righthander Dizzy Dean for the NL against Lefty Gomez of the Yankees, who was making his fourth start in just the fifth All-Star Game in history. But Dean was almost a no-show, declaring initially he wasn't going to play because he was "tired of having people tell me what to do."
He wound up showing up at the last minute by plane (in an era when most travel was by railroad), and hundreds of fans greeted him. Dean told reporters:
"Shucks, you fellers ought to have known Ol' Diz would never take a run-out like that. I just didn't like the idea of that long train ride and I figured if I stalled around long enough the only way they could get me here would be by airplane. So I got my airplane ride and here I am."
The two pitchers matched scoreless innings until the bottom of the third, when the American League took a 2-0 lead behind a single by DiMaggio and a home run by Gehrig, who waved his cap to FDR as he crossed the plate.
But the most significant play came when the next batter, Cleveland Indians outfielder Earl Averill, lined a ball up the middle, breaking Dean's toe. Dean was just 27 but the injury essentially ended his run as an elite pitcher. Later that season, he tried to come back too soon, and wound up altering his mechanics and ruining his arm.
The American League never trailed after Gehrig's homer, coasting to an 8-3 victory, its fourth in five years.
On the Curly W Live Podcast this week, Nationals Principal Owner Ted Lerner, 92, recalled attending the game as a 12-year-old boy.
"I was an usher at the game, and the injury to Dizzy Dean was probably the most important event of that day, since he was a sensational pitcher, and lost his effectiveness after that game," Lerner said.
It would be nearly 20 years before Washington hosted the All-Star Game again, and the Senators saw barely more action than the first time. At the 1956 All-Star break the team was in seventh place, with the Yankees once again in first, and AL manager Casey Stengel limited Washington to just one at-bat in the Midsummer Classic - a popup by Roy Sievers in the ninth inning.
While local fans again didn't have many local favorites to root for that afternoon, they were treated to a home run display by four future Hall-of-Famers. Willie Mays and Stan Musial homered for the NL, and Ted Williams and Mickey Mantle went deep for the AL (although Mantle struck out in his other three at-bats).
The real star of the game, however, was Cardinals third baseman Ken Boyer, who made several defensive gems for the NL, while picking up three hits, helping his league win in a rout, 7-3.
This time there was no presidential first pitch, as Dwight D. Eisenhower was recovering from surgery, although he did announce that day he was running for re-election. Povich, the Post columnist, panned the moved: "The first error of the 1956 All-Star festivities is committed by Mr. Eisenhower. On a day when the nation is baseball minded, Ike's announcement that he will stand for reelection could wind up among the Sally League results" - a nickname for a low-level minor league.
The president watched the game with his doctors in Gettysburg, Pa., pulling for Washington's league. White House press secretary James Hagerty told reporters, "He and I rooted for the wrong team."
Five years later the Senators moved to Minnesota to become the Twins, and the American League immediately awarded an expansion team to DC, also called the Senators, to take their place. The new Senators hosted an All-Star Game in just their second season, 1962, in the new $24 million federally-funded DC Stadium.
At an All-Star luncheon the day before the game, Vice President Lyndon Johnson quipped, "I am among those who have prayed for the Washington baseball club - if the Supreme Court doesn't mind."
Like FDR a quarter-century earlier, President John F. Kennedy threw out the first pitch. He also greeted an old friend from the campaign trail: Stan Musial, the 41-year-old Cardinals outfielder playing in his 22nd All-Star Game. During the 1960 election, Musial had campaigned for JFK and served on a "National Sportsmen for Kennedy Committee" along with Willie Mays, Joe DiMaggio and athletes from other sports.
Now, as the young president and old ballplayer shook hands, Kennedy told everyone what a great job Musial had done campaigning for him. Musial reminded Kennedy, who was just 3 1/2 years his senior, of their conversation when they first met during the campaign. JFK had said: "They tell me you're too old to play ball and I'm too young to run for president. I have a hunch we'll fool 'em." At the ballpark that afternoon, the young president mused, "Wouldn't it be wonderful if the old man got a hit?"
Kennedy got his wish. Entering the game as a pinch-hitter in the sixth inning, Musial singled, and was replaced by pinch-runner Maury Wills, who stole second and went on to score the first run of game. Then in the eighth inning, with the National League leading 2-1, Wills used his aggressiveness to manufacture an insurance run.
Sitting in the president's box that afternoon was American League President Joe Cronin, who had led Washington to its final pennant as a 26-year-old player-manager in 1933. Now he summoned New York Mets manager Casey Stengel, who was coaching first base for the NL, to meet Kennedy. But the normally loquacious Stengel only had time for a quick hello.
"Hi Mr. President. It's nice to meet you. I'd stay a little longer only I'm not working for myself today," Stengel said, as JFK laughed.
The NL held on for a 3-1 victory, and Wills, a DC native who went on to set the single-season stolen base record that season (since broken), won the game's MVP award. The new Senators were so bad - they would finish 10th in the 10-team American League - that none saw any action in the game. (That year was the final season of MLB's short-lived run of playing two All-Star Games, and Washington Senators pitcher Dave Stenhouse started the second one, held at Wrigley Field, a few weeks later.)
The All-Star Game returned to Washington just seven years later, in 1969, as MLB commemorated the centennial of pro baseball. The ballpark had recently been renamed Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium, following RFK's assassination on the presidential campaign trail the previous year.
It was a time of big change for the national pastime, which had suffered from lagging fan interest and anemic offense in recent years, epitomized by the "Year of the Pitcher" in 1968, when the leagues' players hit a combined .237.
To inject more offense into the sport, MLB lowered the pitching mound. Each league added two teams (including the Montreal Expos, who would later become the Nationals) and split into two divisions. And new baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn, a Washington native who had earned a $1 a day working the scoreboard at old Griffith Stadium as a teenager, showed a flair for marketing by creating a couple of days of activities to celebrate the centennial in DC.
On the Monday night of All-Star week, MLB hosted an Oscars-style dinner, with 2,200 people in attendance, to honor the All-Time All-Star Team. Babe Ruth was named the best player ever, and former Washington Senator Walter Johnson was named greatest right-handed pitcher. Ted Williams, the Senators rookie manager, lost out to Joe DiMaggio as the best living player and blew off the dinner. His wife accepted his award as greatest living leftfielder.
The next afternoon, a few hours before the scheduled All-Star Game, President Richard Nixon hosted a White House event with 400 baseball VIPs, including Hall-of-Famers, All-Stars, and sportswriters. Nixon told the crowd: "I just want you to know that I like the job I have, but if I had to live my life over again, I would have liked to have ended up as a sportswriter."
Then the dignitaries made their way to RFK Stadium. Kuhn, the commissioner, held a pre-game100th birthday party in three tents on the fields of the National Armory, across the street from the ballpark. A drenching summer storm soaked the VIPs in attendance, and soon after led to the first postponement in All-Star Game history. But Kuhn wasn't discouraged.
"The whole thing went off so well that I could not even get depressed by the rain and the postponement," he said. "There were U.S. senators standing there in two inches of rain talking about baseball. How could I get depressed?"
For once, DC hosted the All-Star Game with a (barely) winning record, at 51-50. DC's new skipper, Ted Williams, the New York Times said, was the "focus of a tremendous revival in baseball interest in the nation's capital, and of a remarkable improvement in the weak team's fortunes on the field." The Senators would finish the season 10 games over .500, the team's only winning record in 11 seasons in Washington, before moving to Texas to become the Rangers in 1972.
Nixon, probably the biggest baseball fan to occupy the Oval Office, had been scheduled to throw out the first pitch, but the postponement scuttled those plans, as he had to leave for a world trip the next day. Vice President Spiro Agnew stood in for him.
The scheduled starting pitchers were Detroit Tiger Denny McLain of the American League against Cardinal Steve Carlton of the National League. But when the game was rained out, McLain insisted on flying back to Detroit on his private plane to keep a dental appointment the next morning. By the time he got to the ballpark the next afternoon, the game had already started. So he pitched one in inning in relief. Then he left early.
"Denny McLain was the envy of every working man in America today," wrote Murray Chass in the New York Times. "He arrived for work late and left early."
Befitting their resurgent team, Senators fans for once got to cheer one of their own in an All-Star Game. Slugger Frank Howard started in left field, and after the NL took a quick 3-0 lead, he smoked a 458-foot home run over the clock in right-center field in the second inning to make it 3-1.
The All-Star Game demonstrated baseball's success in generating more firepower. The NL won 9-3, a year after winning the previous All-Star Game 1-0 (and the previous two games 2-1). The '69 game featured five home runs, including two by the San Francisco Giants' Willie McCovey. All 12 runs came in the first four innings. Carlton was the winning pitcher, despite giving up two earned runs in three innings.
After the game, Bowie Kuhn told Ted Williams: "Hope to see more of you, Ted," alluding to Williams's decision to skip the dinner two days earlier. Both men laughed.
Despite the entertaining All-Star Game, the moon outshined the stars that summer. Later that week, Nixon met the Apollo astronauts after their splashdown in the Pacific following their return to Earth after the lunar landing. One question Nixon had for them was whether they heard about the All-Star Game. They said they had, and Neil Armstrong told Nixon he was sorry the president missed the game. "You knew that, too?" Nixon asked. Armstrong replied that they heard about the rain, and they couldn't control the weather yet - but looked forward to doing that.

Road accidents have increased in numbers in the past couple of years. If you look at the US alone, reports have shown that motor vehicle accidents account for the leading cause of death for people aging between 1 and 33 years old. As far as the unpredictability of life goes, you have to be prepared for such road accidents every single time. A lot of lives and properties have been shaken after being victims of these road accidents. You can also get injuries through different causes that are not your fault at all. Nonetheless, it is important that you always prepare for the unexpected by getting an insurance policy coverage in case of accident damages.
While you have a complete insurance coverage from a good insurance company, hiring an Accident Injury Attorney may still be necessary for your own good. If another party is involved in your accident and their insurance company is not fair in providing you with proper compensation, then you have to hire someone to help you. That is why you will be needing the expert help from accident injury attorneys.
Only accident injury attorneys are capable of dealing with the legal issues involved in personal injury with their knowledge and skills as they represent you in the court of law. Another name for accident injury attorneys is personal injury lawyers. These lawyers will serve as legal adviser on the steps that you must follow to avoid facing more legal issues. Furthermore, they are in charge of filing for a compensation claim for the injuries and property damage that you have been through. They will make sure that filing of such claims will be done easily and much faster. When you are the victim of an accident, you have the right to get proper compensation for what you have been through. There is no fixed compensation when accidents take place that is why you need a good accident injury attorney to help negotiation how much money you should receive in the end.
For insurance companies, you have to understand that even if you pay your premiums on time, you will not be getting back your payments after the accident promptly. There are instances where the insurance company will have to harass you before you can get the money that you deserve. Victims may have to wait a few months that can often lead to years. For the insurance company of the other party, they may have to find ways to lower the compensation amount that you will be receiving. By choosing your accident injury attorney as Trust Attorneys, there is no doubt that all of these things will be far away from your concerns. You just have to remember to only go with reliable and experienced accident injury attorneys for the job.

Ian A. Young revolutionized the design of microprocessor clocking circuitry by designing Phase Locked Loop (or PLL) clocking circuits that drove the performance of Intel Pentium and Intel Core processors from 50 MHz to over 3 GHz. This innovation contributed to the rapid increase in the speed performance of microprocessors through the 1990s while following Moore's Law scaling. PLL clocking circuits are among the most-used analog components within microprocessor integrated circuit products. As a manager of SRAM design and analog circuit design teams, Young developed a "Process Development & Circuit Design Co-optimization Methodology" to optimize the microprocessor performance, process density, and yield. This co-optimization methodology has become a standard across the semiconductor industry to date.

The 3 Fs of Customer-focused Web Design
by Peter | Feb 27, 2018 | Blog, Web Design
What makes for good customer-focused web design? Have you designed your own site or given feedback on a web design made by someone else? It's a challenge to know what to look for. But I propose three "Fs" that should be considered as you evaluate a web design.
First, you should look for the fold. Don't roll your eyes at me, fellow web designers. I'm not talking about squishing your design into 600 pixels. But we will discuss usability and ease of navigation. And while we're at it, let's roll out another old textbook principle: the "f-shaped" reading pattern. This is about designing and writing for maximum impact with just seconds of your customer's attention. And finally, we'll see examples of common mistakes to avoid with flat design.
Credit to the Nielson/Norman Group for doing incredible research in user testing. My 3 Fs are drawn directly from their findings.
Encourage Scrolling Past The Fold
When people talk about the fold in web design, unfortunately, they primarily speak from outdated experience. This concept comes from print design and newspapers that are folded in half on the newsstand. Everything above the fold is seen at first glance while everything else is hidden. Many business owners express concern that their customers will miss important messages if they aren't presented first thing above the fold.
Unfortunately for these worry-warts, there is a world of screens out there with thousands of possible folds. It's impossible to optimize for them all. But that does not mean we can ignore the fold! Instead, you must encourage website users to scroll past the fold. It's true, you will have to prioritize and accept that some messages will get better placement while others will sometimes fall below the fold. The solution is to encourage visitors to scroll further down with every section.
When customers arrive on your page, they immediately perform an assessment, without scrolling. They determine the likelihood of finding what they want on your page. If it seems likely, they stay and scroll. This is why the fold concept remains important. You must carefully consider what goes at the top of your page. Use obvious cues to signal that the page content continues with engaging page layout and images. Use clear site structure reflected in your website navigation.
The Fold Matters Most on Landing Pages
I think this guidance is the most useful on specific landing pages focused on one topic. It's reasonable to write a page headline for a single topic that encourages scrolling to subsequent sections where it's expanded and fleshed out. Website home pages are more challenging to assess for the fold. I think it's more likely here that visitors will scroll at least 1 section down very naturally from curiosity. And there's a greater probability that each section is about a different topic as the home page attempts to summarize the website content.
One design element I really like that encourages home page scrolling is a visual arrow centered at the bottom of the top section. This increases your customers' confidence in your home page's depth of content and makes it explicitly obvious there is more to see. The fold is real. It's just another way to say "make good things that people want more of" and they'll scroll to get it.
Avoid The F-Shaped Reading Pattern
It's easy to get cynical talking about the fold. It assumes website visitors have terribly short attention spans and little patience for reading. Are people just goldfish now, blinking dumbly at their screens? I don't think it's quite like that.
However, eye tracking research by the Nielson/Norman Group shows that people reading poorly designed pages scan with an f-shaped pattern. Imagine a spotlight moving across your web page, fixating on certain spots as it goes. The f-pattern indicates that the reader followed the first one or two lines of text before beginning to scan vertically down the page without reading full sentences. Imagine everything they're missing!
Image Credit: Nielson Norman Group, "F-Shaped Pattern of Reading on the Web: Misunderstood, But Still Relevant (Even on Mobile)"
Use clear page formatting to avoid the numbing effect of the f-shaped pattern. Clear page formatting will break up the deadly "wall of text" that's so likely to turn off your readers. Write a compelling, straightforward headline. Use frequent subheadings to draw readers all the way through your page. Make use of numbered lists and bullets when appropriate. Add relevant images between sections and consider other visual accents to engage readers.
It's important to note that other patterns are common too, depending on the type of page viewed. The f-shape is most relevant to blog posts or article pages. A home page is more likely to show a layered pattern where readers scan the headlines and subheads but skip the regular text. Or a home page could be read in a spotted pattern indicative of readers looking for something specific, like a phone number or address. Nielson/Norman Group observed other patterns too. But the f-pattern is the most damaging and easiest to avoid with simple, yet vital, page formatting.
Fatten Up Flat Design Buttons
Many business owners tell their web designers that the new website be "easy to navigate." They go on to say it must be have "clean lines." Flat design is a popular aesthetic chosen to address these requests. Many web designers then produce new websites with flat design that are terribly difficult to navigate because the "clean" look erased all the signals customers use to navigate.
Web buttons are the most visible expression of aesthetic trends in web design because they're very common with a very basic formula. In 2007, many buttons had a shiny, 3D appearance. This aesthetic looks cartoonish and unrealistic in 2018, however the appearance of depth made interactive elements like buttons easy to distinguish because physical buttons have depth. Early examples of flat design completely removed this visual link to the physical world.
While there is a philosophical argument for removing excessive decoration in favor of a clean look, poor flat design produces weak buttons and lower conversion rates. To this I say, "Give butts back to buttons." Add a drop-shadow underneath for a cushy seat. Pop the button off the page with a slightly darker colored bottom edge.
When your design does not clearly distinguish interactive buttons from regular text, it sends a weak signal to the user. They become uncertain and less likely to click weak buttons. Strong buttons use different background colors, subtle 3D effects, and other distinguishing marks to clearly show users when something is clickable. These throwbacks to the physical world restore the important signals that tell customers where to click.
The three "Fs" of customer-focused web design encourage them to scroll, keep them engaged in a committed reading pattern, and clearly signal buttons and interactive elements.

I think all of you know that I prefer shower gels over bathing bars,they tend to refreash me more. I have been pretty much impressed with the bathing bar I've been using guess you all have read my review .Today I am going to tell you all about a bathing bar I am loving these days . I am CTM routine followers who barely skips exfoliating . My CTM and exfoliation routine is'nt confined to face alone for body hygiene I rely to the same routine .
Recently , a couple of beauties arrived in my mail from a brand called Alanna -Naturally Beautiful.The soap they sent is of Oatmeal & Honey variant , having taken a look at the ingredients I immedietely made up my mind to use it from the next day.
As we all know oatmeal works great as exfoliating agent, therefore presence of oatmeal is a promising factor. It assures that the scrubbing action wild exactly fulfill the need .It's neither going to be very harsh and irritating nor too mild to remove dullness. Any soap containig oatmeal is considered good for skin because oatmeal itself is a good cleansing agent as it contains saponins. This soap from Alanna can be used in face too because it contains oatmeal which exhibits anti-inflamatory property ,it calms down eczema,rashes, pimples and sudden break outs .
Now let us come to honey,honey treats acne therefore oily skinned beauties have now got another reason to love this soap. Many of us somehow win battles against facial acnes with out skin care regime ,but what about back acne and chest acne that many of us suffer? Yes this soap can be your saviour in such case . Honey also exhibits anti-aging property plus it makes skin soft, firm and supple. Therefore it behaves as a complection booster .
The soap comes in a card box pack opening with you get the rectangular bar soap sealed in a plasting pack . The soap is off white in color,the side surface of the soap gives hint of the presence of oatmeal.
In the card box the nature of the product is mentioned along with it's properties and it assures that the soap is 100% natural,parben free, sulphate free home made and cruelty free.
Having applied the soap to wet skin ,I would say it lathers decently like any other natural soap with mild fragrance . I am very very impressed with the clensing property of this soap . I actually sweat a lot specially at back area. This soap successfully removed oil and grim from the area.Usually the soaps and gels the so far promised to do this make the back skin over-dry resulting to the sretion of more oil and trapped more grim . This soap successfully scrubed and cleansed and the presence of honey successful took the step to hold moisture. Thus the oil balance was not disturbes therefore my skin feels good too .
I would recommend this soap to everyone as , I think this is going to serve everyone's need . Oily skinned beauties to dry skinned beauties , pimple fighting high schoolies to anti-aging hunting ladies this will fulfill everybodies need .
I have been regularly using this soap during my visit to my hometown Kolkata ,if not like Delhi but kolkata also was'nt lagging behing this winter . I must say even during this chilly winter my skin felt firmed ,softer and dullness was no longer there.
Naturall soap with is absolutely cruelty free.
Lathers decently but doest not melt fast like other natural soaps .
Paraben free, sulphate free and hand made.
I could not find any ,other than the availability .
