On our very first visit to this area when my parents were told they would be transferred here, we went for a drive to Greenwell Point. We drove past this little club with a Chinese restaurant attached and thought it looked like a place we should try. Little did we know that we would be eating there at least once a month and sometimes once a week, for the next 10 years. It is our go-to place to take our visitors.
There are two tables that seat 10, if you are bringing a large party you *always* want to make a booking here. If you are visiting in school holidays, you NEED to make a booking or else you might not get a table, even for a small party. If you cannot get a table inside the restaurant, you can always order take away and eat it out in the bowling club or take it home with you.
There are usually two sittings at most of the tables – one between 5-630 and one between 7-8.30 – so if you can't get a table at the time you want, try asking for earlier or later. Outfit wise, I recommend layering up, sometimes the wind coming off the water can be cool and if you are sitting near the large glass windows that area can sometimes get a little chilly.
For starters we usually pick one of two things – Sang Choy Bow, or Mini Spring Rolls and Fried Dim Sims. Note – you only get 6 of each – we specifically asked for 8 on this occasion as there were 8 of us. You can also get the Dim Sims steamed, which we have done before too. They come with a sauce similar to sweet and sour sauce. We've tried all the starters and they are all fantastic, the soups are also great. The prawn toast is delicious too.
King Prawns in Garlic Brown Sauce was once brought to us by accident. It is pretty amazing to say out of 10 years of dining here, that was the only time we ever had an item brought to us by miscommunication with the order taker. We were very thankful it happened, because this is 100 times better than regular garlic prawns and we have been ordering this dish ever since.
There are several sizzling dishes on the menu – here you see Sizzling Steak. I will say three things. Do not touch the plate, because it is incredibly hot! Be careful where you put this on the table, because tiny sizzling spatters will fly into the air, and you will not be moving this plate. If you are wearing glasses, do not sit near this dish.
This is Fried Duck in Plum Sauce. This dish is a real star, especially if you like duck. I do not like duck, but I will still eat this dish. If you do not like duck, but people with you do like it and they order this, try a piece and see if you like it. You might be surprised.
I do not usually like a lot of pork, but I enjoy this dish, especially the smaller crispy pieces. The Salt and Pepper squid is incredible, it has never been anything but incredible. Just don't order it as take away, because it loses the crispiness of the batter. If you want squid as a take away dish, try one of the many other variations on the menu.
This is our most recent star dish – butter pepper chicken. I've never seen this on a menu anywhere else, the sauce is a combination of butter and pepper, which does not sound like a good thing to order. However something happens here – perhaps the pepper cuts through the richness of the butter, or maybe there is another secret ingredient doing that job.. it is amazing. The mushrooms are amazing as well.
With so many visits over the years, we have tried almost everything on the menu at least once. We like to order several mains and rice and share what we've ordered. We have gone through stages where one particular thing would have to be ordered on every visit, and then we'd try something else and move onto that.
We are not big on ordering dessert here – they do have fried icecream and we've had it and enjoyed it. The Bistro out in the club does some awesome desserts if you are looking for something a little more fancy than the desserts offered at the Chinese. We have never eaten at the Bistro because the Chinese is just too amazing.
You should be aware that my Dad declines the concept of this review. When I started taking food photos, he asked why I was doing that, and I said I was going to write a review because nobody had reviewed this place on Zomato – it is on Tripadvisor.
"No, don't do that" Dad said. "If you tell everyone about this place, we won't be able to get a table anymore". Sorry Dad, the food here is so good, the world needs to know about it. :) We'll just have to book a little earlier.
I will be doing a few more local food reviews with the holiday and tourist season coming up – important to note – We always pay for our food. Nobody pays me for writing these reviews. Sadly nobody asks me to review their restaurant/cafe/food place as yet. If asked, I will review a food place, but I will not accept payment for any reviews. I will review freebies or free items but I will always make it clear if something is free.

The Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council Community of Practice on Sanitation and Hygiene in Developing Countries (WSSCC CoP) and the global Sustainable Sanitation Alliance (SuSanA) came together in 2015 to hold a joint three-week thematic discussion on sanitation and hygiene behaviour change programming and sustainability.
This thematic discussion was an opportunity to bring together these two global communities, with over 5,000 members in total, to share learning and to explore links between research and practice on behaviour change.
'Programming for scale' focused on defining scale for sanitation and hygiene behaviour change (BC) programming, sharing examples of successful scale-up (or the ingredients thereof) and understanding stakeholder's responsibilities and relationships.
'Sustainability for BC' sought to explore the social and behavioural norms and dynamics that influence hygiene practices specifically, hand-washing and the use of sanitation facilities.
'Open defecation-free status and slippage' focused on understanding terminology, exploring patterns of slippage and local strategies for preventing or mitigating slippage.


Investors should be pleasantly surprised by the notion that the minutes for the most recent Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting actually offered some real value for the market. They did so with the following candid assessment: "Most participants judged that if incoming data were consistent with economic growth picking up in the second quarter, labor market conditions continuing to strengthen, and inflation making progress toward the Committee's 2.0% objective, then it likely would be appropriate for the Committee to increase the target range for the federal funds rate in June." This is a rather sudden change from the dovish posture the market has priced in.
This fresh line of thinking corroborated the notice served by Fed Presidents Lockhart, Williams and Kaplan that a June rate hike was not out of the realm of possibility, as the Fed funds futures market has so complacently discounted. In other words, the more recent view offered by these three Fed members was validated by the minutes as being more than just token posturing. Additionally, it was not lost on market participants that hard economic data for the second quarter has indeed supported the view that economic growth is picking up in the second quarter.
April retail sales logged the strongest monthly increase since March 2015.
April housing starts were up 6.6% month-over-month and were stronger than expected.
April industrial production was up a stronger than expected 0.7%, logging its first gain in three months.
April CPI saw its biggest monthly increase in more than three years, driving the year-over-year change in CPI on an unadjusted basis to 1.1% from 0.9% in March.
April nonfarm payrolls were weaker than expected, but aggregate earnings were up a robust 0.8% in April, which is a good portent for consumer spending.
This week will be marked and influenced heavily by the bevy of speeches to be given by several Fed members, culminating this Friday with an appearance by Janet Yellen at Harvard University with former Fed Chair Ben Bernanke at her side. Given the sudden change in the level of rate hike expectations, the market is taking the shift in sentiment better than most would have thought. But really, when logic sets in, we want to see credible data that justifies a quarter-point hike because it signals that the economy is truly strengthening and isn't some sort of desperate move that ignores underlying economic weakness.
After six straight quarters of negative earnings growth for the S&P 500, just maybe the second quarter is, in fact, an earnings trough that marks the bottom of the soft patch for the U.S. economy. If so, then the second half of the year is setting up nicely for the S&P to take out the prior high of 2135 on the basis of upward expected earnings guidance and improving investor sentiment, which is currently at a very low level.
There is also a general feeling the upcoming OPEC meeting on June 12 won't produce any material production cuts, not with the message that Iran is sending to the markets. As of today, both North Sea Brent and WTI crude are trading right around $48/barrel and will likely remain in this price range until after the meeting or some other geopolitical disruption makes headlines. Given this backdrop, I'm targeting high-yield assets that are skewed a bit more toward being leveraged to a stronger economy and are more sensitive to inflation.
In fact, I just added a fertilizer company to our buy list this past week that sports a 13% yield and is trading 65% off of its price level of three years ago. I've been waiting patiently to start to add back some commodity exposure and one of the best places to consider is in the agricultural space because the world's population is only getting bigger and the stuff they make nitrogen fertilizer with, namely natural gas, is at or near historic low prices. So the investment proposition makes pretty good sense in my view.
In case you missed it, I encourage you to read my e-letter column from last week about the value of high dividends in an uncertain market environment. I also invite you to comment in the space provided below my commentary.

Kryptowire Collaborates With Orange and Finds Vulnerabilities in Mobile Devices
Kryptowire's end-to-end cybersecurity engine identified vulnerabilities granting system user-level privileges for arbitrary shell script execution.
December 13, 2021 - McLean, VA, United States - Kryptowire Inc., an enterprise mobile security and DevSecOps leader offering innovative, end-to-end cybersecurity solutions, today announced a successful collaboration with global telecommunications operator Orange wherein Kryptowire proactively identified a major security vulnerability present in several mobile devices in the market. As an industry leader committed to raising global standards for customer security and privacy, Orange is working with Kryptowire to audit the security of devices sold in their retail stores.
Kryptowire recently discovered a vulnerability affiliated with the AutoSLT application which is a system application used by several device manufacturers. This vulnerability allowed execution of arbitrary shell scripts as the system user, subsequently creating several exploitable liabilities, including command execution privileges that could compromise text messages, call logs, and contacts; audio and video recording, camera and screenshot use; initiating a remote device wipe, and more.
"As we enter a digital future increasingly defined by convergent, complex application and device networks, it is imperative that mobile leaders adopt a proactive, strategic, and rigorous cybersecurity posture that leaves no proverbial stone unturned," says Dana Waldman, Chief Executive Officer, Kryptowire. "Our partnership with Orange offers an important reminder that to protect mobile end-users and customers, we must effectively implement robust, end-to-end threat detection solutions that identify key vulnerabilities while respecting end-user privacy."
Upon discovering the vulnerability, involved actors in the smartphone industry fixed the vulnerability according to the best release schedule, either before release or through software updates of products already in the field. As part of the chain, Orange took immediate action with the involved parties to obtain security fixes. The developers affiliated with the third-party application in question have been made aware in accordance with responsible disclosure practices.
"Security is the foundation of trust in our digital society, and protecting our customers from cybersecurity threats is critical in order to allow them to use their devices on our networks with confidence," said Stéphane Raulin, Vice President Device Technology and Anticipation, Orange Innovation Devices and Partnerships. "Orange is committed to strengthening the security of the mobile ecosystem with the help of Orange Cyberdefense, the Group's expert cyber security business unit, as well as industry actors including OEM, OS and chipset providers.

Juhl (; ) is a surname originating in Denmark. It is most common in Denmark and the United States. Other spellings and connected names are thought to include Juul, Jul, Juhls, Juel, Juell, Iuel, and Yule.

Pronunciation
After coming to America, most Danes bearing the Juhl name changed the pronunciation to avoid confusion. ('J' represents a different sound in Continental Germanic languages than it is in English). Some Danish Americans with the Juhl surname, and especially with the Juul surname, changed the spelling (Danish Juhl or Juul > English Yule) in order to keep the pronunciation. This caused a lower relative number of Juuls in the United States but a high number of Yules.

Origin
There are two possible origins for Juhl lines of Danish origin.

Christmas
 The Danish word for Christmas (Jul). From this term the English word Yule is also derived. It is believed that persons in some way associated with the Midwinter season, or Christmas Day specifically, took or were given this name.

The word "Jul" (Christmas) is thought to be the likely the ultimate origin of most of Juhl/Juul lines, especially as many of the Danish Juhls of today originally spelled their name as Juul or Jul, prior to standardizations of spelling in the 19th century.

Wheel
 The Danish word for wheel, hjul. Those whose occupations dealt with the wheel, e.g. wheel-makers, would have taken this name.

Nobility
There is a noble family attested to in Danish history from the 1200s AD, whose name is usually spelled "Juel" (occasionally "Iuel", a holdover of the times before the widespread adoption of the letter 'J'). However, different people adopted the name "Juhl" (or its variants) at different times and for different reasons, and it is unclear if any of the Danish Juhl lines (or Iuel, etc.) of today have continuity this far back.

Distribution by country
Approximately 15,000 people in the world bear the name "Juhl" or one of its variants. Almost all of them live in Scandinavia, Northern Germany, or the United States.

Denmark
The bulk of the Danish Juhls live in Southern Jutland. "Juhl" is the 93rd most common surname in the country—and the 30th most-common non-patronym-based surname. "Juul" is the 107th most-common name overall and 40th when excluding patronyms. "Juel" is the 793rd most-common surname.

United States
Heavy Danish immigration to the United States, from the 1850s through the 1920s, is responsible for so many Juhls living in the United States today. Juhls going to the United States primarily settled in the U.S. state of Iowa. As a result, "Juhl" is one of 10,000 most-common names in the United States, and one of the 70 most-common names in Iowa.

Some Juhls who settled in the United States kept the pronunciation intact by changing the name to "Yule". This was evidently much more common for the more-foreign-seeming "Juul" surname, which is significantly less-common in the United States relative to "Juhl" (1:5) than the ratio in Denmark (nearly 1:1). A small number may have changed their names to "Jewell", as was common among foreigners with names unusual to the American ear.

Germany
The name is somewhat common in Northern Germany (German state of Schleswig-Holstein) because of the Prussian-Danish War of 1864. Prussia seized the southern third of Danish Jutland (where most Juhls lived), and so it became incorporated into the German Empire in 1871. Most of Southern Jutland was returned to Denmark by plebiscite in 1920. There were a number of lines of Juhl families along the old Pommern Coast of then Prussia which is now on both sides of the German-Polish border.

Norway
Although Norway was once ruled by Denmark (Danish naval hero Niels Juhl was born in Oslo to Danish parents), it is likely that most Norwegian "Juuls" are independent lineages, as "Jul" is a pan-Scandinavian word for Midwinter.

Juul is the 1,182nd most common name in Norway.

Senate confirms new VA secretary
by Harvest Prude
Posted 7/24/18, 10:52 am
The Senate confirmed Pentagon official Robert Wilkie as secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs on Monday by a vote of 86-9. Wilkie, an Air Force and Navy veteran, said he would "shake up complacency" at VA, the government's second largest department. During the 2016 campaign, President Donald Trump called VA "the most corrupt" department and promised to steer patients to private sector aid. At a June 27 Senate confirmation hearing, Wilkie reassured senators he would not privatize healthcare for the 9 million veterans the department serves, but he also has said he wants to implement the newly signed VA Mission Act to allow easier access to private care. Wilkie is the president's third pick for the position in the last 18 months. Trump nominated him in May after firing his first VA secretary, David Shulkin, who was facing ethics charges. His replacement choice, White House doctor Ronny Jackson, withdrew after workplace misconduct accusations surfaced.

Community solar delivers big benefits to Minnesota
By Bentham Paulos | 5.16.19
Minnesota is the national leader in community solar, with 208 projects producing enough power for 100,000 typical homes (as of December 2018). Minnesota has more than a third of all community solar projects in the US. The Community Solar Garden policy is the best in the nation, making it easy to develop and subscribe to solar power.
A new report released by Vote Solar, MnSEIA, and the Institute for Local Self Reliance finds that the Community Solar Garden policy is creating big benefits for the state.
Customers: More than 14,000 Minnesota customers have signed up for community solar, to save money, create local economic development and jobs, and to protect the environment. That includes over 12,000 households and 2,000 business, non-profit, and public-sector customers. Businesses like Andersen Windows and Insight Brewing in Minneapolis are going solar to show their commitment to sustainability and to lock in stable long-term pricing. Schools, local governments, and hospitals make up almost half of non-residential subscribers, and can use the savings to provide better services.
Workers: Community solar employed over 4,000 workers in Minnesota in 2018, including many family-wage construction jobs. "Solar installer" was the fastest growing job in the US last year.
Landowners: Community solar projects currently pay about $5 million a year to landowners for leases and royalty payments. Counting all projects operating or currently under construction, about 354 landowners will receive a total of $182 million in leases and royalties over the next 25 years.
Local Governments: Community solar projects will pay over$1 million this year to counties and towns through the state Solar Production Tax Credit, plus substantially increased property tax revenues.
Environment and Public Health: Community solar systems cut global warming emissions by almost a million tons per year, plus over 400 tons of sulfur and nitrogen oxide emissions that harm public health and the environment.
Utilities: Although Xcel Energy has the most community solar gardens serving their customers, there are also 37 projects offered by municipal utilities and rural electric coops.
The report, Minnesota's Solar Gardens: The Status and Benefits of Community Solar, was prepared by PaulosAnalysis for Vote Solar, MnSEIA, and the Institute for Local Self Reliance. See the report, an interactive data tool, videos, and more at votesolar.org/MNcommunitysolar.

Enlarged pores can be impossible to manage with creams and lotions. Luckily, there are many other options to help get the smooth and pore-less look you want.
Why are your pores so large? You can blame your parents for that, because pore size is largely determined by genes. This also makes it pretty difficult to shrink enlarged pore. However, it's not impossible.
Simply put, they're the skin surface openings for hair follicles. Imagine a tiny tube going through the first few layers of the skin. This one tube is a hair follicle, one of many hair-making factories inside the skin. The opening of each tube at the surface of the skin is a pore. Think of it like a volcano rim — a particularly apt metaphor for acne sufferers.
We all have pores, but sebaceous glands, found on either side of the follicle, determine how large they are. These glands are often mistaken for sweat glands, which are separate and not responsible for the pores that we see.
Sebaceous glands produce sebum, a waxy substance that protects our skin from the outside world. The more oil that a sebaceous gland produces, the larger the pores will be.
Sebum is also the main culprit in acne. Keep in mind that oil is not all negative. As we age, our oil production slows. This leads to dry skin and wrinkles. Those with very active sebaceous glands (read: bigger pores) will experience less dryness and likely fewer fine lines later.
As is typical with skin issues, the most effective treatments are provided by dermatologists. However, that doesn't mean there aren't a few things you can do at home as well.
Common skincare solutions like creams and scrubs don't actually shrink pores. However, they can help their appearance by smoothing out the skin surrounding them.
Salicylic acid and glycolic acid both unclog pores by dissolving dead skin cells. Retinoids — like Tretinoin, Tazorac, and Differin — increase cell turnover which can help keep follicles clear, and stimulate collagen production. "Adding a Clarisonic, or even an old-school Buff Puff, will clean out those follicles," says Henry.
Dr. Debra Jaliman, a dermatologist who practices in New York City, explains how birth control pills are one option to effectively shrink pores.
Accutane is essentially a high dose of vitamin A which over time shrinks sebaceous glands, which then shrinks pores. It has some serious side effects and doctors generally only prescribe it to patients with severe, persistent acne. Smaller pores are simply an added benefit of the treatment.
According to Henry, treatments to actually reduce the size of pores need to be a little more invasive than topical treatments. Lasers like Fraxel and Halo work well for this purpose. They're not invasive in the traditional sense, but are more aggressive than topical treatments.
These lasers create little microchannels of damage in the skin, and that damage stimulates a healing response which, in turn, creates more collagen. Collagen is a protein in the skin that gives it its structure. Boosting its production causes pores to close up.
Ablative lasers — lasers that cause the epidermis to shed — will smooth the skin around the pore, leading it to look smoother and less noticeable.
Laser treatments vary in price, but start around $1000 for a full-face treatment.
Dr. Norman Rowe, a New York City based, board-certified plastic surgeon, uses a time-tested procedure, microneedling, in a creative way to help treat pore size.
Microneedling has long been used to rejuvenate skin and treat scarring. During the procedure, a pen-like device with 25 to 30 tiny needles on its head is carried across the skin. Each needle is extremely fine and creates micro-punctures that trigger the skin's wound-healing response, stimulating collagen production. Over a roughly six week period following the procedure, the skin starts looking smoother and more radiant.
Microneedling has long been an effective tool in the dermatologist's anti-aging kit, but with one small tweak, Rowe is making the procedure even more appealing for patients. In short, he's using hollow needles to inject a "skincare cocktails" into the skin.
Rowe can put combine the benefits of traditional microneedling with any number of treatments. For example, injected antioxidants protect the skin, fruit acids encourage cell turnover, and diluted hyaluronic acid moisturizes and plumps.
Most importantly for our purposes, Rowe's tool can utilize a diluted form of Botox to shrink pores. Everybody's favorite anti-aging friend, Botox, is a neurotoxin that inhibits the function of muscles.
According to Rowe, when injected at the superficial skin level of microneedling this diluted Botox decreases the production of sebum and paralyzes the tiny muscles surrounding the skin's pores. This results in smaller pores, and less acne because of the decreased sebum production.
A patient typically only needs one or two treatments, which last about 20 minutes. As the needles are so fine, the procedure is almost painless. At approximately $500 per session, it's much more affordable than the average laser treatment. As the area metabolizes the Botox slower than a larger muscle would, the results last longer, roughly six to nine months.
Now knowing what causes large pores, it is easier to understand why certain purported cures are less than effective. Creams can help smooth out the skin surrounding pores, but effective at-home treatments like retinoids, salicylic acid, and glycolic acid can help to treat the underlying issues that cause large pores.
If you choose to go the clinical route, there is no shortage of options available. From laser treatments to microneedling, professional treatments can truly target and eliminate enlarged pores.
The following products are recommended by skin experts to help fight enlarged pores and acne blemishes.
Containing 2% BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid), Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting is a gentle exfoliant that unclogs pores, fights blemishes, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
An essential product for anyone with oily skin, Neutrogena Rapid Clear Maximum Strength comes with 60 pre-moistened salicylic acid pads. Using them helps prevent breakouts, remove blackheads, and slough off dead skin cells.
Epicurean refines pores while accelerating the release of dry, dead skin cells. This peel's low concentration of glycolic acid won't cause flaking or irritation, making it a good choice for those with sensitive skin.
This cream contains a blend of papaya extract, vitamin A, and glycolic acid. After cleansing and toning, gently apply Mario Bodescu's Renewal Complex to rejuvenate dry, dull skin.
In addition to keeping follicles clear and stimulating collagen production, LilyAna Naturals Retinol Cream Moisturizer repairs damaged skin. Equally important, the lotion does not leave any oily residue, nor does it contain artificial fragrances or parabens.
The Clarisonic Mia 2 effectively removes makeup, dirt, and sebum. This gentle exfoliator comes with two different speed options: Speed 1 for delicate, sensitive skin, and Speed 2 for daily cleansing.
As an affordable alternative to the Mia 2, the Wonder Puff is a sponge that can be used to remove dead skin cells, excess oil, and dirt from the face. Rather than using your hands, a more hygenic approach is to apply your favorite cleanser on the sponge and lightly brush your face in a circular motion.


Or, "A prudent parent foresees the danger ahead and takes precautions. The simpleton parent goes blindly on and suffers the consequences." As parents, we need to see the dangers ahead, and we must take precautions.
What can you do to protect your child online? Here is part 2, numbers 6-10.
Why do your kids use the Internet? To study? To play? To interact? Yes! It's a one-stop shop, isn't it? Some people may say, "Craig, you are "harshing" my digital world. Why are you so negative about the Internet." Easy answer, I'm not! I love the Internet.
Filtering out unwanted content from your eight-year-old son's browser, or blocking certain social media sites for your nine-year-old daughter may be something you find not only useful but absolutely essential as kids engage this modern world their way.

FARGO MOORHEAD SERTOMA HISTORY
Sertoma International is a volunteer civic service organization with 835 Clubs in the United States, Canada and Mexico and a membership of over 27,000 professional men and women. Sertoma stands for the high and noble SERvice TO MAnkind through communication of thoughts, ideas and concepts to accelerate human progress in health, education, freedom and democracy.
The Fargo-Moorhead Sertoma club was formed in the spring of 1957 by a man named H. C. Pearson. He was employed by Sertoma International to help start clubs in the US. The Club had its "Charter Banquet" on Friday June 7, 1957 with 101 members. There are still 7 active "charter members" in our club. The FM Sertoma club is part of the North Dakota/Manitoba district of Sertoma International, as well as the Great Plains Region. Sertoma International has 15 regions in the US and there are 5 states in our region. They are North Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota and Nebraska. Each club has a president, 2 or 3 Vice Presidents, Secretary, Treasurer and a Sergeant-at-Arms. The Sertoma year runs from July 1st to June 30th.
Our Clubs sponsor projects that promote freedom and democracy, youth causes, and any other local community needs identified by Clubs. Sertoman's hold fund raisers to support these service programs. Each year, Sertoma Clubs raise and return more than $20 million for community projects. Founded as the "Stand Together Club" in 1912 in Kansas City, Missouri, Sertoma is the third-oldest service organization. Our name was changed to "Cooperative" Clubs, and finally to "Sertoma" in 1950. Our motto is "Make Life Worthwhile."
The first non-US Sertoma Club was chartered in Windsor, Ontario in 1946. The first Mexico Club was chartered in Mexico City in 1956. The Sertoma Foundation was founded in 1960 to raise money for Sertoma's charitable programs. The Foundation's Endowment has more than $10 million today. Women, who were welcomed as members of Sertoma in 1985, comprise about one-third of our current membership.
The highest honor Sertoma bestows on a nonmember is the Service to Mankind Award recognizing outstanding volunteer community service. Each Club selects a winner, who competes with other Clubs' winners at the District, Regional and International levels. The top winner is announced at the International Convention. The award culminates in a trip to the winner's national capital, for a visit with the President or Prime Minister.

We continue to work because we want to be able to provide for our family but we are also battling the guilt for not having enough time for motherly duties at home. One thing that I always pray for though, is that I will be able to continue feeding my family good and healthy food despite what little time (and energy!) I have left after a long day of work.
With that, I am sharing a trusted and super easy recipe that you can prepare without a fuss. I learned this from a fellow mommy blogger and have made this for my kids numerous times and I hope your family will enjoy it too!
Cook pasta according to instructions, drain and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a pan, saute garlic.
Add red and green bell peppers.
Add the Penne pasta and mix well.

Instant credit card processing takes the work out of card handling for busy merchants. Credit card payment services take care of all the labor-intensive details from start to finish in business transactions. A merchant account setup entails providing the business owner with the equipment and system functions that result in instant credit card processing.
These have always been extremely risky for merchants because no card is ever seen, much less examined. With instant credit card processing, however, business owners on the Internet have access to the secure transmissions and processing of merchant account equipment. Although the entire procedure takes place online, the built-in measures to protect against fraud make these transactions as safe as card-present purchases in retail stores or restaurants.
Real-time processing is one of the characteristics of electronic processing systems, and it is this invaluable function that lets merchants and their customers experience a smooth, fast check-out. One employee operating this user-friendly equipment can process many more sales than with slow dial-up systems. Whether online or in person, consumers have a trouble-free transaction that encourages them to return to that business to make future purchases.

Champions League semi-finalists Liverpool are held to a goalless draw by relegation-threatened Stoke City at Anfield.
Liverpool have been held to a goalless draw at home to relegation-threatened Stoke City just four days after their five-star Champions League semi-final performance against Roma.
Mohamed Salah squandered the best chance of the match after just six minutes as Stoke held on to move within three points of safety, although they now have only two games of their season remaining.
Liverpool, meanwhile, edge nine points clear of fifth place, but miss the chance to temporarily move up to second and take a big step towards clinching a top-four spot with two games to spare.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp made five changes to his side ahead of next week's Champions League semi-final second leg in Rome, but Salah was amongst the starters and it took just six minutes for the 43-goal winger to break in behind.
It looked certain that the in-form Egyptian would break the Premier League goalscoring record for a 38-game season when he advanced into the box with only Jack Butland to beat, but to the amazement of all inside Anfield he dinked his finish wide of the target.
It looked like an ominous sign for the Potters, but they instead learned from their mistake and Liverpool found it more difficult to cut through the visitors as the half wore on.
Indeed, it was Stoke who created the next clear chance when Moritz Bauer raced clear down the left flank before picking out an unmarked Mame Biram Diouf at the back post, but the striker could only plant his header into the side-netting.
Liverpool responded with a good chance of their own just a minute later when Salah laid the ball into the path of Trent Alexander-Arnold, but the youngster - playing in an unfamiliar midfield role - could not get the ball out of his feet and eventually scuffed his finish at Butland.
An end-to-end period of the match then saw Stoke come forward again as Xherdan Shaqiri got in behind the defence before playing a low ball across the area which was just too far in front of Peter Crouch.
Georginio Wijnaldum was the next to come close when Ryan Shawcross could only clear a cross as far as the the Dutchman, who dragged his finish just wide of the near post.
A mistake from Butland 11 minutes before half time almost handed Salah a chance to atone for his earlier miss, but Liverpool were ultimately forced to settle for a free kick which the winger curled into the side-netting of the near post.
It was a much flatter performance from the hosts than they produced just four days ago against Roma, but they did have the ball in the back of the net with four minutes remaining of the first half when Danny Ings squeezed a volley in from an acute angle, only for the offside flag to cut his celebrations short.
Salah, who had been well-marshalled by Erik Pieters since missing his early chance, found himself in some rare space five minutes into the second half when a corner was only cleared as far as him on the edge of the box, but he fired his effort well off target.
Klopp eventually turned to his bench in an attempt to inject some much-needed intensity into his side's performance as James Milner and Nathaniel Clyne were introduced, and the latter almost made an immediate impact when he ghosted into the area unmarked, only to put a tame header straight at Butland.
Alberto Moreno was the next to try his luck after finding himself in space outside the area, but his low long-range effort zipped a couple of yards wide of the far post.
It wasn't until the very closing stages that the second half really came to life, and Liverpool were left furious with the officials when they were denied a penalty after Wijnaldum's cross struck Pieters's hand inside the area with only three minutes of normal time remaining.
The hosts' anger was almost compounded just a minute later when Stoke nearly ended their 54-game wait for a top-flight win at Anfield in smash-and-grab fashion, with Diouf looping an effort towards the far corner which Shawcross almost turned in at the back post.
It was a major scare for Liverpool, but they couldn't make the most of the let-off in six minutes of added time as Jordan Henderson and Wijnaldum both put half-chances off target.
The result stretches Liverpool's unbeaten run to nine matches across all competitions, but it was a lacklustre display heading into a week which sees them take on Roma and Chelsea, the latter of whom are now the only team that can deny them Champions League football again next season.
Stoke, meanwhile, will now go into their final two matches against fellow strugglers Crystal Palace and Swansea City with renewed hope of pulling off a great escape despite seeing their winless run stretch to 12 games.
