Aug 16 Collider Coworking provides spark for Rochester's entrepreneurial community
As Rochester leaders begin to dig in on the first phase of Destination Medical Center's Discovery Square district, one local business is already laying the groundwork for what could turn the city's downtown into a hub for entrepreneurship.
Located on the second floor of the rehabbed Conley-Maass-Downs building, Collider Coworking offers a space like no other in town. With desks scattered across an open floor plan, Collider serves as home base for entrepreneurs and startups across numerous industries, many in technology and creative services.
Because of its emphasis on collaboration, the space is often touted by Mayo Clinic and DMC officials as an example of how Rochester can cultivate the startup culture needed to stimulate innovation.

"I have seen a number of amazing collaborations happen just because people were in the same room," said Jamie Sundsbak, community manager of Collider Coworking. "We call these interactions 'random collisions,' which is made possible by the density and diversity of tenants in Collider."
Amanda Leightner operates the Rochester Rising blog and podcast, which covers entrepreneurial activity in the region. She has been at Collider since the space opened last year, and has witnessed first-hand the synergy created when so many different minds come together and bounce ideas around.
"On the surface, it's a desk," she said. "But it's more than that. It's a community."
For Leightner's line of work, the constant "collisions" have proven especially useful. Through her reporting, she has helped tell the stories of dozens of local entrepreneurs, many of whom she met through her connections at Collider.
"It's essential to keep my finger on the pulse of the entrepreneurial community," Leightner said in a recent interview. "There are so many people who come in and out of here."
Collider memberships range from $30 to $325, depending on how often a tenant needs access to the building and whether they want a permanent workstation or a "hot desk." The plans all include two must-haves in the startup world — a fiber Internet connection and access to conference/quiet rooms.
Chris Peterson and a small team run PayGo, a software company that provides solutions to independent retailers. He told us Collider provides him the opportunity to remain nimble. It gives him the professional workspace he needs without the long-term commitment of leasing a traditional office.
"That's the good thing for an entrepreneur; you don't have to sign up for a 12-month lease," said Peterson, noting that startups often have to react quickly to periods of growth and setback.
Reflecting on the past year, Sundsbak said Collider has managed to bring much-needed awareness and entrepreneurial density to downtown Rochester — not just by providing physical space, but also though events such as Global Entrepreneurship Week, Startup Weekend and 1 Million Cups.
It's a culture that Sundsbak, a former Mayo employee, hopes to see continue to grow in Rochester. Already, he said, the Collider team has begun actively exploring ways to expand to other locations.
"Going forward, I believe that there will be a greater demand for collaborative spaces in Rochester," he said. "This includes coworking spaces, but should also encompasses a broader variety of spaces like commercial kitchen space, wet laboratory space and arts spaces."

The Met Office's tentative forecast predicts a milder winter than last year, when snow brought the UK to a stand still.
To be fair, the Met's barbecue debacle was down to a failure to communicate its predictions clearly, rather than predictive incompetence. Seasonal forecasts use the same numerical weather prediction models as those used to produce daily forecasts, but also include ocean conditions, which can influence long-term weather. But instead of just running the models 24 hours ahead of current weather conditions, meteorologists run them for several months, to simulate the weather over the whole of the three month season. They don't claim to predict the weather conditions for every day over the next three months. Instead, the average rainfall and temperature over the summer are calculated from the simulated data.
But the weather is a complex system, and the models can give very different predictions for just slightly different starting conditions, particularly when looking over longer periods of time. To account for this effect, and also for other inaccuracies in the model, the Met Office uses a technique called ensemble forecasting. Instead of just running the weather models once to produce a single prediction of the weather over the summer period, the models are run many times, each time with slightly different starting conditions. This produces an ensemble of forecasts for the period, each member of the ensemble representing a possible summer.
From each of these possible future weathers, the average rainfall and temperature of the future summer can be calculated and compared to the historical average. If, say, 70 of the 100 members have above average rainfall and below average temperature, then the seasonal forecast is that there is a 70% chance of a cold, wet summer. In the summer seasonal forecast produced by the Met Office in April, 65% of the members had near or below average rainfall, and above average temperature. Hence the prediction that it was likely to be a dry and hot summer.
Comparing the data for June, July and August this year, the prediction of above average temperatures was just about correct: the average temperature was 14.7°C for the three months, 0.6°C higher than the historical average of 14.1°C. However, as most of us realised as we got drenched, rainfall did not follow the prediction, and ended up 40% above the historical average.
So it turned out that our summer was more like some of the other 35% of the members of the Met's original ensemble — soggy, but average in terms of temperature. When you realise that over a third of the forecasts did not predict a barbecue summer, the weather we have had seems slightly less surprising. The excessive rainfall would have been far more shocking if the seasonal forecast had given a 90% probability of a dry hot summer, rather than the lower 65% probability. The Met Office does not include the probability estimates in the published seasonal forecasts, and instead only announces the likeliest outcomes. The original estimate of a 65% probability was only quoted in the updated summer forecast.
We all know that weather prediction, though incredibly sophisticated and advanced, is an inexact science. Perhaps if the Met Office published the probabilities underlying its forecasts, it might get a more rational response to disappointing weather. Then we might recognise that any future predictions of a barbecue summer are just that, predictions, not certainties. And we can always look out the window to see if it's a good day to throw the snaggers on the barbie.

Oracle Announces New Mid-Market Offerings…Sort Of
Posted by Lee Kroon under Applications, Distribution, EnterpriseOne, JD Edwards, Manufacturing, News, Oracle
When Oracle held its annual OpenWorld user conference in San Francisco last month, CEO Larry Ellison grabbed the spotlight with a game-changing announcement about his company's "Unbreakable Linux". On the sidelines, however, the software giant quietly unveiled new application offerings that could have a greater impact on mid-market companies in general and JD Edwards users in particular.
By now, everyone down to the bag boys at your local supermarket has heard that Oracle is going to ship its own variant of Red Hat Linux. In the midst of all the Linux hullabaloo, the 41,000 attendees at OpenWorld overlooked the equally important unveiling of a new product line known as Oracle Accelerate. Admittedly, Oracle downplayed the announcement to the point where few could have recognized its significance. Despite its less than stellar debut, Accelerate is the sleeper offering that could be marching at the front of Oracle's product parade next year.
Oracle Accelerate is an initiative to create preconfigured, aggressively priced packages of Oracle applications for 20 industries and their subindustries. The packages will include documentation on industry business processes and licenses to the products that Oracle recommends for supporting those processes. Each package will also come with Accelerators, tools for configuring Oracle's applications to support each user's business processes. Customers will also receive information about software and services from Oracle's partners that complement the Accelerate packages. Many of the packages–particularly those in the manufacturing, distribution, and property management fields–will include components from EnterpriseOne.
While the new offerings should be attractive to mid-market companies, their significance extends beyond their immediate appeal. Through the offerings, Oracle will provide its customers with clear guidelines to which products they should choose from the vendor's broad portfolio of applications. Such guidance is something that Oracle's customers sorely need in the wake of the company's acquisition of more than 20 software vendors over the last several years.
In addition, Oracle Accelerate could help the vendor build a stronger ecosystem of business partners around its industry applications. This is something that Oracle must do to compete effectively with its archrival SAP, a solution provider that has developed deep partner ecosystems around the vertical industries it supports. While Oracle has many partners that specialize in vertical industries, it has not organized them to the same degree that SAP has with its partners. Oracle Accelerate could provide the focal point for ecosystem building that the vendor needs.
It should be noted that most of the Oracle Accelerate packages will not ship until the first half of 2007. It will be no small task for Oracle to create preconfigured application packages for dozens of industries and subindustries. I can tell you, however, that key people inside Oracle have made significant progress in deciding which applications will come into play in each industry. Based on what I have learned from them, I see significant potential in the offerings that they will bring to market in the coming months. Look for a bigger and splashier launch of Oracle Accelerate in February of next year.

Working in Finance: the value of an EMBA
Three Cambridge Executive MBA students working in finance explain how their EMBA studies are preparing them for disruption, leadership development and future career prospects.
The Cambridge Executive MBA programme attracts talented senior professionals from a variety of professions and industries. For EMBA participants working in as broad a sector as "finance", their motivations for joining the programme are similarly varied. We spoke to three participants from our EMBA Class of 2016 with careers in finance about their reasons for joining the programme and what they've gained from their studies.
Introducing our EMBAs
Tom Martin (EMBA 2016)
Tom is the Regional Director for Halifax's operations in Greater London, having worked within the Lloyds Banking Group for the last 13 years.
"I'm currently part of the Halifax Bank Executive team, leading a department of around 2000 colleagues and 150 banking branches in and around one of the world's most valuable and cosmopolitan cities. I also play a leading role in our 'Helping Britain Prosper' initiative."
Brianna SanGiovanni (EMBA 2016)
Brianna SanGiovanni
Brianna is Commercial Officer for EBS, an electronic foreign exchange marketplace within NEX Group.
"I've worked with NEX Group for about nine years, primarily within sales and am now leading on commercial strategy to drive growth and revenue."
Rashid Zuberi (EMBA 2016))
Rashid Zuberi
Rashid Zuberi has spent more than twenty years at Deutsche Bank with responsibilities across Pensions, Corporate Finance and Investment banking, culminating in his current role as Head of Debt Capital Markets.
"The bank has utilised my technical skills and experience over the years by providing me with ample opportunities to change roles and grow. It has been both pull and push."
Prepare for industry disruption
The fact that there is so much change coming to financial services is exactly the reason I'm doing an EMBA.
Participants from financial backgrounds are increasingly choosing EMBA programmes to prepare for disruption within their industries. Tom Martin's priority as a senior figure at Halifax is to equip himself with the skills, knowledge and network in preparation for this changing professional landscape.
"The fact that there is so much change coming to financial services is exactly the reason I'm doing an EMBA," explains Tom. "I now know that in terms of disruption, it's not a question of "if", but "when". Working for the largest retail and commercial bank in the UK, I feel duty bound to equip myself as best I can in shaping this better future for us."
For Brianna, the EMBA is preparing her for such disruption by improving her decision-making skills and working patterns. "The programme has helped me to build and strengthen what I like to call my 'psychological muscle.' You learn to take in more information, better allocate your time, develop stronger decision-making skills and garner a more optimistic outlook. These skills are core to thriving in a time of disruption, especially when your personal motives are juxtaposed against the market landscape."
Apply learning in the workplace
I can learn theories from academics who work closely with industry practitioners, and then apply them at the office.
One of the values of any Executive MBA programme is the ability to maintain a full-time career during your studies. For our Cambridge participants, this means that after each weekend of study at Cambridge Judge Business School, they can immediately apply what they learn when they return to work on Monday morning.
"At the start of the programme, we were told that we could apply what we learnt during the teaching weekends to our working week," says Rashid. "I was sceptical at first, but it is fair to say that the EMBA has definitely expanded my skillset. I can learn theories from academics who work closely with industry practitioners, and then apply them at the office."
The programme has a strong emphasis on personal and professional development, particularly in developing leadership qualities. Tom feels that he has become a stronger leader for his department by reflecting and improving on his 'soft' leadership skills.
"Every time I return to work after a weekend at Cambridge, I immediately find myself integrating and applying the programme to my workplace," says Tom. "I'm much more aware of how I'm collaborating with colleagues and how I drive the outcomes required for the organisation to grow. Hard work and technical ability can only advance my career so far. I would have hit a glass ceiling had I not developed my emotional intelligence, self-awareness and influencing skills at Cambridge."
Build a network beyond finance
I've only ever worked in finance. I wanted to get a better perspective on the world.
Cambridge EMBA participants can expand their professional networks beyond their own workplaces, and even industries. The EMBA Class of 2016 is a close-knit peer group of 84 senior professionals learn together, collaborate with each other, but most importantly form a potentially global, lifelong network.
"I've only ever worked in finance, and more specifically foreign exchange!", says Brianna. "I wanted to get a better perspective on the world, be academically challenged, uncover new interests and create a more well-rounded life. My peers on the programme were an integral part of my EMBA experience. Without this incredible network of ambitious yet authentic people around me, I would not have achieved the goals I set for myself."
Prepare for the future
As our EMBA Class of 2016 approach graduation, it is an opportunity for them to reflect on the impact the programme has had not just on their professional lives, but their personal lives too.
Tom joined the programme after starting a young family. "Juggling a busy job, family (two boys aged one and three), keeping healthy and studying for an EMBA can be tough. However, I've found it helps you realise how efficient you can be, and just what you can achieve!"
"I've noticed the value of spending more time managing my own career," explains Brianna. "Applying what I've learned on the programme has better prepared me for growth opportunities when they come around. My perspective has widened, which has allowed me to view my organisation through a different lens, but also view myself differently as well."
I'm a better leader, but also a better person…all because of this EMBA.
Tom believes the EMBA has given him options as to where his career will head next, whilst also fulfilling his personal and professional goals. "I walk with greater confidence, and speak with greater conviction. I'm a better leader, but also a better person…all because of this EMBA. Performing well in a variety of jobs got me to where I was, but the EMBA will undoubtedly get me where I want to go."

Wilm. councilwoman Hanifa Shabazz (D) modeling alongside State Rep. David Wilson(R) at Burton/Phelan annual fashion show.
Wilmington and state officials continue a tradition to help students further their education.
It was a unique scene at the Chase Center in Wilmington on Wednesday night. That's where Wilmington councilwoman Stephanie T. Bolden hosted the 23rd annual William "Dutch Burton & Hallie M. Phelan Memorial Scholarship Fashion Show. Burton and Phelan, were both city council members who fought for civil rights, making history. Phelan became the first African American woman to serve on Wilmington's City council for two terms.
"Because of the two people that were very important in my life and made it possible for us to be council members, I wanted to name it after them," said Bolden who created the fund in 1993 to provide financial assistance to matriculating college students within the 3rd District. The fund recently has been extended to students in the 2nd District as well.
Every year, two students are awarded at least a $1000 each in the name of Burton and Phelan. This year's recipients are students Terron Booker and Aja Labrador.
"As a teacher, I dedicated my life to teaching because of the people that taught me and their commitment and their passion. My reward is seeing these kids succeed," Bolden said.
At least $5000 is raised annually to help college students during their last three years of school. More than a dozen elected officials participated in the event to raise awareness. Wilmington council members Hanifa Shabazz and Maria Cabrera modeled local designs. Also on stage were state Representatives Valeria Longhurst, Earl Jaques Jr., Harvey Kenton, Paul Baumbach, Edward S. Osienski, David Bentz, Ruth Briggs King, David Wilson as well as Senator Nicole Poore.
"It's a lot of fun, you come together and you meet so many wonderful people from diverse backgrounds that are here for the same cause," said guest model Joyce Proctor.
Gov. Carney, lawmakers propose $50M for Delaware Clean Water Trust

Improved milk prices and increased barley production have boosted the Total Income From Farming (TIFF) in Scotland by £245 million to £917m in 2017.
But NFU Scotland said many of the gains were a result of exchange rates or increased yields rather than improved headline prices.
Fuel, labour and feed price increases bumped input costs up by 7 per cent in 2017.
Subsidies were also up £43m in 2017, at £544m.
Combinable crops committee chairman Ian Sands said the improvement in grain prices had been counteracted by large increases in the price of fuel, fertiliser and machinery.
"Add to this the difficult harvest, with increased drying costs and the fact that, in some areas, harvest and straw baling could not be completed because of the weather.
Cereals and oilseeds rises also came after four years of falls, with the long-term pattern showing a near 40 per cent drop since the mid-1990s.
NFUS livestock committee chairman Charlie Adam said the continued weakness of sterling had boosted output prices, but also increased some input costs.
"Uncertainty continues over access to vital markets after Brexit, meaning any sense of security from recent rises will be limited", he added.
Mr Adam also explained there would be greater demand for traditional farm inputs from biomass burners and anaerobic digester (AD) plants.
"Combined with the continued hangover from a very wet summer in 2017, this means input prices are likely to be high and unpredictable in the coming months", he said.
For potatoes, it was the second year of growth but policy manager Peter Loggie highlighted incomes were still below where they were four years ago.
"Vegetables, by comparison, have shown a bigger rise, to a new income high", he said.
Labour costs were likely to be the cause of a fall in soft fruit incomes, with a second year drop coming after a decade of growth.
For milk, policy manager George Jamieson said the increase was a reflection of very poor incomes over the past two years.
"The huge variation in dairy output indicated by the statistics very clearly emphasises the huge challenge arising from volatile dairy commodity prices," he added.
He highlighted milk prices were now falling again and costs had increased year-on-year.

How an electric vehicle can help you meet your goals in 2022
Leave a Comment	/ Technology / By Tipper2010
(BPT) - Do you want to be more budget-conscious? Perhaps you're looking for new ways to eliminate emissions from your car's tailpipe? Goals related to finances and the environment are popular resolutions for Americans year after year. While there are many ways to accomplish these two goals separately, switching to an electric vehicle (EV) might be a simple way to help you accomplish both.
An electric vehicle can help save you money through lower maintenance and fueling costs while reducing your amount of tailpipe emissions. Here's more about how driving electric can get you closer to keeping these two important resolutions:
EVs save money
EVs typically mean lower maintenance and fuel costs. According to Energy.gov, light-duty battery electric vehicles are generally cheaper to maintain than traditional gas-powered vehicles. Plus, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory estimates EV drivers can save up to $10,500 in fuel costs over a 15-year time span compared to a gas vehicle.
Electric cars also help you save through a more efficient drivetrain. EV batteries can last for 12-15 years in moderate climates, and an electric car's drive system doesn't lose as much energy as a traditional gas car's engine. This means an EV can save you more money, long term.
When you factor in the improved energy efficiency and reduced maintenance costs (such as a lack of oil changes), driving electric can save you thousands during the life of the vehicle (average vehicle lifespan is 12 years). According to Consumer Reports, those savings may range between $6,000-$10,000.
If you're looking to purchase an EV, you might be able to save even more through federal tax credits of up to $7,500. Some state and local governments may offer additional incentives too.
EVs support a sustainable lifestyle
If you're looking for simple ways to live a less carbon-intensive lifestyle, driving an EV is a great choice as they typically emit lower levels of greenhouse gases than the average new gasoline car.
Just how much fewer emissions do EVs generate? According to the U.S. Department of Energy, EVs produce an average of 3,700 pounds of CO2 equivalent emissions per year, compared to more than 11,400 pounds of average CO2 equivalent emissions from gasoline-powered vehicles. That's a lot of CO2 that won't end up in the air if you're driving electric.
EVs come with benefit of flexible charging
Once you make the decision to switch to an EV, you'll have the benefit of flexible charging options to keep your car up and running.
According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, more than 80% of EV charging is done at home, and residential charging equipment can most likely be installed in your garage. Beyond the home, public EV charging station options are also growing rapidly, with strong support from policymakers, businesses and consumers.
Electrify America, the nation's largest public network of ultra-fast EV charging stations, offers charging options along highway routes and in metro areas, and in many places you visit regularly: alongside restaurants, by grocery stores, at major retailers and shopping malls, close to convenience stores and gas stations - even near financial services like banks.
To help drivers feel confident taking their electric vehicles on longer trips, Electrify America offers multiple cross-country routes and several north-to-south routes, and many other interstate options along the coasts and Middle America. And the station growth continues: by 2026, the company plans to have more than 1,800 fast-charging stations and 10,000 individual chargers installed in the U.S. and Canada.
Whether you're looking to save money or eliminate your tailpipe emissions - or both - in the next year, an EV is a great option for sticking to those resolutions. As more EVs come to market - and support for electric cars and the stations that charge them continues to grow - you can feel good knowing you're ahead of the curve by making the switch to electric now.

How is Private Mortgage Insurance Paid?
PMI fees can be paid in many ways depending on the company used:
Borrowers can choose to pay the 1-years premium at closing, and then an annual renewal premium is collected monthly as part of the house payment.
Borrowers can choose to pay no premium at closing, but add on a slightly higher premium monthly to the principal, interest, tax, and insurance payment.
Borrowers who want to sidestep paying PMI at closing but don't want to increase their monthly house payment can finance a lump-sum PMI premium into their loan. Should the PMI be canceled before the loan term expires through refinancing, paying off the loan, or removal by the loan provider, the borrower may obtain the rebate of the premium.

The Alderney Air Races are a major aviation event, highly competitive and great fun. Over 20 planes from around the British Isles compete in the 100+ mile races which are part of the Royal Aero Club's British Air Racing Championships.
The last race in a series of nine races staged around Britain, takes place in Alderney every year in September. The final contestants battle it out in the air in two 100-mile handicap races for the title of British Air Racing Champion.
Organised by the Royal Aero Club, this major annual aviation event attracts a variety of aircraft types ranging from the slowest at 120mph – Bulldogs, Grummans, Mooneys and Bonanzas – to a Beechcraft Baron, which can fly at 240 mph.
Both Alderney races involve six laps of a circuit following along the island's south coast, beyond forts Raz and Albert and the Breakwater, around Burhou Island, the Casquets Lighthouse and due east, back to the airport.
PPR is no longer required for visiting aircraft. Aircraft can arrive at any time (apart from when the airfield is closed for the Races as per NOTAM).


Ubisoft has dropped a new trailer for its previously announced Assassin's Creed III Remastered and in it we see the 2012 title showing off some distinctly warmer tones. Officially set for release on 29th March 2019, the remaster will be taking players back to the American Revolutionary War with them returning to the shoes of tomahawk wielding Native American assassin, Connor Kenway.
Back in September, Ubisoft revealed that the Assassin's Creed Odyssey Season Pass would include the remastered versions Assassin's Creed III and Assassin's Creed Liberation, with Liberation also scheduled for release on 29 March 2019. However, for those who don't own a Season Pass, both games will be available for purchase as a standalone package. The post-release DLC for Assassin's Creed III will also be included in the bundle, allowing players to try-out the Benedict Arnold Missions, the Hidden Secrets Pack, and the Tyranny of King Washington storyline.
The games are set to arrive on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC and Ubisoft has stated that Assassin's Creed III will not only be improving graphically with HDR and 4K support but will see improvements in both gameplay and ergonomics as well.
While not perfect, Assassin's Creed III boasted beautiful landscapes and an interesting setting that kept me captivated when I initially started up the game on my PS3 in 2012. It's updated take on open world exploration allowed for greater freedom in an Assassin's Creed game, with players being introduced to the navel combat system which would become the selling point for the next game in the series: Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.
However, while the original Assassin's Creed III was available on the Wii U console, there hasn't been any conformation from Ubisoft on whether we will see this title on the Switch in the future.


WRFT welcomes the designation of a NC MPA network in Scotland as an important step towards the improved protection of marine habitats and species of importance to wild salmon and sea trout fisheries.
We strongly support the proposed designation of a 'Northwest Sealochs and Summer Isles MPA' for protecting and restoring a diversity of seabed habitats and species. We believe that improved protection particularly of shallow water seabed habitats within the Loch Ewe, Gruinard Bay, Little Loch Broom and Loch Broom area will help wild salmon and sea trout and many other fish species. Some of the habitats to be given greater protection [within this possible MPA] are of importance to the small fish upon which sea trout feed; including herring, a 'keystone' species for the area. Herring formerly spawned on maerl beds within and just outside the proposed boundary. Therefore this possible MPA should be extended to ensure that all maerl beds and other seabed habitats used as fish spawning grounds around Wester Ross are protected as they were until the 'three mile limit' was removed in 1985.
For sea trout, the shallow water habitats including maerl beds, seaweed communities on sub-littoral sediment, and sea grass beds are of particular importance as they represent habitats considered to be important for feeding. Many of these habitats have been damaged particularly by dredging for scallops since 1985. Sea grass beds within the possible Wester Ross MPA (e.g. in Loch Ewe and Gruinard Bay) should not be omitted from the list of features to be protected and recovered.
Fisheries for sea trout and salmon are a part of an important wildlife tourism industry in Wester Ross which also includes marine wildlife watching (including snorkelling and diving) and sea angling. Successful development of a Wester Ross MPA should benefit all of the above. We recognise that the commercial inshore fisheries of the area are also of socioeconomic importance for the local area. We believe that the successful development of the MPA will benefit the majority of local fishing business by helping to promote harvesting methods and management that can secure the long-term sustainability of fisheries resources of the area. There is much potential for the restoration of fish and shellfish populations associated with the recovery of seabed habitats within the area.
We support the proposed involvement of local people and stakeholder groups with site management. WRFT would seek to actively participate. The possible Northwest Sealochs and Summer Isles MPA could be called the 'Wester Ross Marine Protected Area', to provide clearer local identity and foster local interest and a greater sense of local ownership; this may help to foster active local support for developing and managing the area to maximum benefit.
Further surveys should be carried out to record the occurrence and condition of MPA search features within the MPA area and neighbouring areas. Surveys should be carried out to learn more about the occurrence and utilisation of seabed habitats in the area by fish species, particularly those which may spawn within the possible MPA (e.g. skate and herring).
Towards an ecologically coherent MPA network?
To achieve ecological coherence across the network as a whole, the Scottish Government needs to consider the role of finfish and shellfish species, traditionally regarded as only of importance to commercial fisheries (under Marine Scotland's remit) within marine ecosystems. Fish species which can be of 'keystone' importance within 'natural' inshore marine ecosystems around Scotland include herring which spawn on the seabed (and which can be an important food for salmon and sea trout), sea trout, salmon and juvenile gadids. None of these were included on the list of MPA search features. Therefore, we do not believe that a 'natural' ecosystem approach has been followed.
Our forbearers established a 3-mile 'marine protected area' in the 19th Century to protect habitats for spawning herring and other economically important fish populations within inshore waters. The collapse of many coastal fish populations since 1985 lends support to their earlier more precautionary approach to fisheries management and marine protection. The proposed 21st century MPA network provides a level of marine protection much less than that which was afforded by the 3-mile limit to mobile fishing gear. Following the removal of the 3 mile limit in 1985, seabed habitats around Scotland have been subject to much damage and destruction; and many wild fish populations and coastal fisheries (e.g. for whitefish, herring, sea trout) have collapsed.
Objectives for nature conservation need to be better meshed together with objectives for fisheries management. The value of protecting seabed habitats for fisheries management purposes needs to be better understood.
There is much to do to better protect and manage our inshore marine environment in order to restore healthier fish populations and sustain more prosperous coastal communities around Scotland; the current network remains inadequate unless other measures can be put in place to provide better protection for fragile marine habitats and priority species that remain threatened out-with the network of possible MPAs.
However, the proposed MPA network represents progress. We recognise that a huge amount of work has been carried out by SNH staff and colleagues within the Scottish Government in progressing the Scottish MPA project thus far. Well done to all.

Information You Can Use When Contacting Delegates, Senators
Below are some bullets you can use when contacting your legislators during the Special Session.
Law-abiding Virginia gun owners are being scapegoated by anti-gun politicians in their attempt to hastily force through ineffective gun control measures, many of which were already rejected earlier this year during the regular session. Such imprudent action should never be tolerated. Given the alleged conduct of the governor and lieutenant governor that has recently come to light, their impatience with the normal legislative process is all the more suspicious.
Virginia gun owners and all those who support freedom and demand integrity in the legislative process must take action to defeat Northam's gun control opportunism.
According to the Crime Prevention Research Center, since 1950, 98 percent of mass public shootings in the United States have occurred in places where general citizens are banned from carrying, including the Virginia Beach Municipal Center. Will the Northam administration consider legislation eliminating these deadly so-called gun-free zones?
The Northam administration is seeking to ban so-called assault-style weapons. The gunman in Virginia Beach used a handgun. Additionally, we had a federal ban on those firearms for 10 years, and that Congress lifted the ban because there was ZERO evidence it reduced crime or saved lives? How would such a ban have made a difference?
Law enforcement at the scene of the Virginia Beach shooting say the sound of gunfire led them to the gunman. Clearly the so-called "silencer" used by the gunman did not silence his firearm. What is the point of banning them? Many law-abiding gun owners – including members of law enforcement – use suppressors to protect their hearing.
The governor wants to ban bump stocks in Virginia. Bump stocks are already banned and the shooter did not use one.
The governor wants to reinstate Virginia's failed one-gun-a-month law. The gunman in Virginia Beach had ample time to purchase the two handguns he used over a period of months and years. Handgun rationing would not have prevented this shooting.
The governor wants mandates requiring law-abiding gun owners to report lost or stolen firearms. The gunman purchased his firearms legally and did not acquire them through theft. Can you please explain how this proposal would have prevented this tragedy?
The governor is proposing government mandates for home firearm storage – so-called Child Access Prevention laws. Not only was the gunman in this case NOT a child, but there is no scientific evidence that government mandated, one-size-fits-all storage schemes reduce juvenile accidental firearm deaths or suicides. A recent study by the Crime Prevention Research Center found these mandates could make it harder for law-abiding citizens to protect themselves.
Governor Northam is using this tragedy to push for so-called universal background checks – which in reality are more government mandates that would criminalize law-abiding gun owners and make it harder for people like myself to defend my home and family. The gunman passed a background check, so how does the governor think this proposal would have prevented this tragedy?
Would the Northam administration consider partnering with federal prosecutors to reduce crime like the City of Richmond did in the 1990s with "Project Exile?" The program was credited with dramatically reducing Richmond's violent crime by shipping firearm violators to far-off federal prisons.

Michał Kotlorz (* 12. Mai 1987 in Katowice) ist ein polnischer Eishockeyspieler, der seit 2007 beim GKS Tychy in der Ekstraliga unter Vertrag steht.

Karriere
Michał Kotlorz begann seine Karriere als Eishockeyspieler in der Jugendabteilung des GKS Tychy. 2004 wurde er in die Nachwuchsakademie des polnischen Eishockeyverbandes Szkoła Mistrzostwa Sportowego aufgenommen, für die er in der zweitklassigen I liga bis 2006 spielte. Anschließend wechselte er zu Naprzód Janów in seine Geburtsstadt Kattowitz. Bei dem Stadtteilklub, der gerade erst wieder in die Ekstraliga aufgestiegen war, absolvierte er seine ersten Erstligaspiele. Aber bereits nach einem Jahr zog es ihn zu seinem Stammverein GKS Tychy zurück, für den er seither auf dem Eis steht. Mit den Schlesiern gewann er 2008, 2009 und 2010 den polnischen Eishockeypokal. In der Meisterschaft erreichte er mit dem GKS Tychy zwar viermal das Playoff-Endspiel, zum Titelgewinn reichte es jedoch nicht, da alle vier Endspielserien verloren gingen (2008, 2009 und 2011 gegen den KS Cracovia, 2014 gegen den KH Sanok). 2011 wurde er für das All-Star-Game der Ekstraliga nominiert. 2015 gelang dann endlich der große Wurf, als Kotlorz mit dem GKS Tychy nicht nur erstmal in seiner Karriere polnischer Meister wurde, sondern auch den Pokalwettbewerb und damit das Double gewann.

International
Für Polen nahm Kotlorz im Juniorenbereich an der U18-Weltmeisterschaft der Division I 2005 sowie den U20-Weltmeisterschaften der Division I 2006 und 2007 teil.

Im Seniorenbereich stand der Verteidiger im Aufgebot seines Landes bei den Weltmeisterschaften der Division I 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015 und 2016. Zudem spielte er für Polen bei den Qualifikationen für die Olympischen Winterspiele 2014 in Sotschi und 2018 in Pyeongchang.

Китайцы в Индонезии (трад. иер. 印度尼西亞華人, упр. иер. 印度尼西亚华人, пиньинь Yìndùníxīyà Huárén, ) — население Индонезии китайского происхождения, часть китайской диаспоры. По данным 2000 года, число китайцев в стране составляет около 1,7 млн человек. В то же время, учитывая всех лиц китайского происхождения, считая ранние волны миграции, а также сильно ассимилированных перанакан, можно назвать цифру более чем в 7,5 млн чел. Большая часть иммигрантов — из юго-восточной части Китая.
На 1992 год только около 6 % китайского населения Индонезии были признаны КНР китайскими гражданами.

История

Первые мигранты и голландская колония
Скорее всего, первые китайские эмигранты прибыли в регион в XV веке. Как ни парадоксально, но согласно одной из теорий именно благодаря китайским торговцам в регионе появился ислам. Другие теории говорят в пользу индийских торговцев-мусульман из Гуджарата. В любом случае, первыми китайскими эмигрантами на территорию современной Индонезии скорее всего были китайские мусульмане хуэйцзу.

Крупнейшая волна миграции продолжалась на протяжении голландского присутствия в регионе. Голландское правительство всячески поощряло китайскую иммиграцию, установив за китайцами экономическое господство и широкие права собственности. Подобная политика никак не способствовала ассимиляции китайского населения среди местных народов. Кроме того, это привело к установлению довольно проблематичных межэтнических отношений, которые не исчерпаны и сегодня. Имея благосклонные отношения со стороны голландцев, китайцы поддерживали колониальное правление. В первые годы Голландской Ост-Индии, китайское население активно способствовало голландскому господству в регионе.

Тем не менее, большую часть китайского населения региона составляли бедные рабочие-кули, бесконечно ввозимые китайскими предпринимателями и работавшие на сахарных плантациях Батавии. В первой половине XVIII века огромный рост китайского населения привёл к тому, что оно к 1740 году стало составлять около половины от общего населения некоторых регионов.
Уже к 1690 году голландские власти ввели жесткие ограничения на дальнейшую иммиграцию из Китая, однако это не послужило концом ввоза рабочих-кули, которые прибывали в дальнейшем через взятки местным органам власти.

Резня 1740 года и последующая иммиграция

К 1720 году европейский рынок сахара был перенасыщен. Серьёзную конкуренцию Яве составлял более дешевый сахар из Бразилии. Это привело к тому, что многие предприниматели в Голландской Ост-Индии обанкротились, а рабочие потеряли свои места. В результате множество кули оказалось без каких-либо средств к существованию. В июле 1740 голландское правительство, пытаясь как-то урегулировать ситуацию, вынесло постановление о том, что все кули будут переправлены на плантации Цейлона. Скорее всего, это был опрометчивый шаг, так как данное заявление повлекло за собой волну протестов и восстаний, которые зачастую граничили с разбоем и убийствами. 9 октября 1740 был издан приказ обыскать все дома китайских жителей Батавии. Всё это переросло в трёхдневную резню, в которой множество китайцев были убиты в собственных домах, а также в тюрьмах и больницах. Число жертв этой бойни оценивается от 5 до 10 тысяч человек. После резни позиции китайского населения резко упали, китайское население было загнано в особые гетто.

Однако даже столь кровавые события не остановили китайскую иммиграцию. Многие по-прежнему искали в голландской Ост-Индии лучшую жизнь. Более поздние мигранты ощущали гораздо меньшую связь с Китаем, они активно и быстро ассимилировались, вступая в смешанные браки и подвергаясь вестернизации со стороны голландцев. Такое население известно как перанакан (или баба-нёня).

Независимость Индонезии и индонезийский национализм

К началу XX века большинство китайцев ассимилировалось в индонезийской среде, хотя многие поддерживали связи с Китаем. Всё больше китайцев занимали своё место в политике и экономике. Возникали китайские политические партии, издавались китайские газеты. Китайское население Индонезии активно поддерживало движение за независимость во времена японской оккупации 1940-х. Из-за сложностей с точным определением этнической принадлежности, данные о роли участия китайцев в революции за независимость страны остаются спорными. Мало кто из китайцев участвовал непосредственно в индонезийской освободительной армии, однако роль китайцев в снабжении армии и населения товарами и продовольствием достаточно велика.

Дискриминация по отношению к китайцам серьёзно усилилась после объявления независимости. Со временем ситуация всё более накалялась. Репрессии президента Сухарто привели к огромным жертвам среди китайского населения, не принимавшего предъявленных к нему требований. Тем не менее, из-за постановлений правительства многие китайцы были вынуждены переехать в крупные города страны. Гонения обрушились и на китайский язык, школы с преподаванием на китайском были закрыты, было также запрещено использование иероглифов на вывесках. От китайцев потребовали взять индонезийские имена и фамилии. Большинство из этих постановлений были отменены с отставкой президента Сухарто в 1998 году.

Политическое давление серьёзно уменьшило число китайцев в таких сферах, как экономика, политика и наука. Данные действия правительства часто оценивают как целенаправленный культурный геноцид. 1998 год был отмечен антикитайскими погромами. Эти события получили широкую огласку и привели к массовому осуждению правительства Индонезии во многих странах мира, где значительна китайская диаспора.
В результате событий 1998 года многие китайцы вынуждены были уехать в Китай, Нидерланды, Бразилию, США, Австралию и другие страны.

1998 год — наши дни
После того, как на президентских выборах 1999 года был избран Абдуррахман Вахид, многие дискриминационные законы были отменены. Президент Мегавати Сукарнопутри в 2003 году объявила китайский Новый год национальным праздником. В 1998 году был снят запрет на преподавание китайского языка, в последние годы всё большим спросом стали пользоваться курсы китайского. Запрет использования китайского на телевидении действовал с 1965 по 1994, однако лишь в ноябре 2000 года каналом Metro TV был выпущен первый выпуск новостей на путунхуа, это положило начало вещанию на китайском языке.

At the same time, ordinary Ecuadoreans stand to benefit from announced progressive tax reform. Street protests reflect wealthy elites opposing progressive fairness – with Washington's dirty hands manipulating things covertly like always.
In April at the Summit of the Americas in Panama, Correa denounced Washington's sordid history of meddling lawlessly in the internal affairs of Ecuador and other Latin American countries.
"Illegal intervention still continues," he said. "Our people will never accept the guardianship, interference or intervention (over what Washington calls the) democratization" of Latin American countries.
On Monday to restore calm, Correa delayed announced inheritance and capital gains tax increases to debate their implementation.
A national debate will show opposition forces what most Ecuadoreans support. If they can show proposed tax increases harm the nation's poor, "I will personally ask for them to be withdrawn," Correa said.
He said "members of the opposition want to achieve through force what they cannot achieve by the ballot box." Beware of a coup attempt, he warned.
He challenged opposition elements to try removing him by recall referendum – as constitutionally allowed. Holding one requires collecting verifiable signatures from 15% of the electorate.
Correa expressed optimism he'd win any recall election handily, if one is held. He's too popular to be defeated legitimately.


Trump loves his "Southern White House" at Mar-A-Lago so much, he's willing to go to great lengths to keep weekending there.
Trump's accountant, it was later revealed, is from Virginia, but his mother and father were both Vietnamese children brought here by an American GI in 1967. None of his accountant's ideas interested Trump because that meant he'd have to for them.
So, Trump told the nation, he can pay for the weekend trips an entirely different way. Which is to say that the American taxpayers can pay for them. He explained it breathlessly, after several hard, deep snorts and sniffles.
Twenty minutes and thirty sniffles later, Trump got around to what he was proposing to cut.
Trump lifted the lid. Two Post-It notes with the words "Social Security" and "Medicare" written on them were all that was on the tray.

Q: Multi-language concept in tapestry5 I am developing web application using Tapestry5. In my application I want to integrate multilanguage concept. I have two properties files are app_it.properties and app_fr.properties. But without value, only key.
app_it.properties
aboutus=
termsandcondns=
privacy=

app_fr.properties
aboutus=
termsandcondns=
privacy=

Here I want to set key's value at run time. That key's values getting from my database based on the country code. Is it possible to set.
Please help me.

A: In tapestry, all services are overridable via tapestry IOC
In this instance, you will provide a custom, database based implementation of ComponentMessagesSource
If you want to completely remove the property file based functionality, you will override the ComponentMessagesSource. If not, you'll likely decorate the existing service and use a combination of property files and database values.

A: You could contribute your own implementation of org.apache.tapestry5.ioc.Resource, which might prevent the need to use Tapestry's internal APIs.
@Contribute(ComponentMessagesSource.class)
public static void provideMessages(OrderedConfiguration<Resource> configuration) {
  configuration.add("DBMessages", new Resource() {
      // implement interface methods
  });
}

You could, of course, construct that Resource instance from within a separate service that provides the Resource with a database connection or whatever you want to get your messages from. The tricky bit might be how to implement methods that are clearly designed for a file/directory structure, when working with something more dynamic.
/**
 * Returns a Resource based on a relative path, relative to the folder containing the resource. Understands the "."
 * (current folder) and ".." (parent folder) conventions, and treats multiple sequential slashes as a single slash.
 * <p/>
 * Virtual resources (resources fabricated at runtime) return themselves.
 */
Resource forFile(String relativePath);

or
/**
 * Returns the portion of the path up to the last forward slash; this is the directory or folder portion of the
 * Resource.
 */
String getFolder();

Well, I guess you'd have to have a peek at the Tapestry source code and look at how the existing Resource implementations work.

Here's a peek at the new seasons of Euphoria, Gossip Girl and the long-awaited House Of The Dragon
Written by Morgan Cormack
HBO Max has just released an exciting new trailer with first look footage of some of their big 2022 dramas.
The faster we approach 2022, the longer our TV watchlist seems to grow and we're certainly not complaining.
The new year promises a feast of new television content from BBC, ITV, Netflix and now, in a first look trailer, HBO Max has managed to put our excitement into overdrive.
In the short trailer released on 22 December, the network gave us a first look at some of their most highly anticipated dramas.
Watch the new trailer here:
As well as The Gilded Age from Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes, we have our first look at the new Steven Moffat (Dracula) adaptation of The Time Traveler's Wife starring Game Of Thrones' Rose Leslie as Clare and Divergent's Theo James as Henry.
For true crime fans, The Staircase is getting another adaptation, this time as a limited series. The short clip teased an emotional Colin Firth as novelist Michael Peterson, the man who was thrown under a cloud of suspicion following the death of his wife, Kathleen. We can't wait to see how the story unfolds as a drama after being obsessed with the Netflix documentary.
HBO's The Gilded Age will be released in the new year
We're also getting a host of new seasons from some of our favourite returning series like Westworld, with Thandiwe Newton opening up the exciting trailer. Euphoria, A Black Lady Sketch Show, His Dark Materials and Gossip Girl are all releasing new seasons in the new year also.
While individual air dates are yet to be announced, we do know that this slate of fresh content will be coming to our screens in 2022.

when your Dirt Devil vacuum isn't sucking properly, you will not be able to clean anything. This means that there is a clog in the system.
Unplug your Dirt Devil vacuum from the wall outlet in your home.
Take the suction assembly off of the vacuum arm. Check the tube on the suction assembly to see if anything is obstructing the suction. If you find something remove it.
Check the bottom of the canister to make sure nothing is obstructing the opening of the canister.
Take the vacuum extension arm off of the control panel and raise it to eye view. Look through the extension arm and make sure that nothing is obstructing the suction inside the extension arm.
Remove the suction tube from the Dirt Devil body and check the hose for anything stuck inside.
Go to the Dirt Devil body and open the dirt canister. Raise the locking mechanism to remove the dirt canister. Empty everything in the dirt canister into a trash can to ensure that nothing is blocking the entry into the dirt canister.
Look through the hole where the suction hose connects with the Dirt Devil body. Make sure nothing is stuck in the hole.
Turn on your Dirt Devil and you will have suction.
If the unit is under warranty, then get it repaired by the manufacturer, instead of voiding the warranty.

Cockatiels get needed nutrients from vegetables.
Cockatiels belong to the parrot family and enjoy the same type of diet as their larger relatives. Bird pellets and table food make a nutritional diet for cockatiels. Cockatiels love carrots, including the tops, though you have to be creative to get them to accept them as food at first.
Remove a carrot from the refrigerator, wash it thoroughly under running water and set it on the counter. Allow the carrot to come to room temperature. Cockatiels and other birds do not like cold vegetables and will not usually accept them readily.
Hold the carrot in one hand and place a vegetable peeler on it near the green tops. Slide the vegetable peeler down the length of the carrot to make one long, very thin piece of carrot.
Cut a small portion of the carrot piece into a length about 2 inches long.
Offer the piece of carrot to your cockatiel. He will more than likely take it into one foot and explore it with his beak. If he will not take it from you, try putting a piece in your mouth and eat it in front of him to get his attention while saying "Mmmm." Offer the piece of carrot to him again. Cockatiels are like children in that if they see you eating something, they will want a bite, too.
Cut the small tip of a carrot off about 2 inches long with a sharp knife. Put it in your cockatiel's foot and allow him to play with it as if it were a toy. In his play, he will gnaw at the carrot like a toy and eat tiny bits with his beak.
Grate small portions of carrots on a kitchen grater and add it to your cockatiel's food bowl after he has decided he likes carrots. You can mix it in with his bird pellets to encourage him to eat it. Birds may not realize that veggies are food at first and take them out of the food bowl.
Cut the green tops off a carrot about and inch below the tops. Tie a string around the orange potion of the carrot top. Tie the other end of a piece of string to the top of your birdcage and allow the greens to hang down inside like a toy. Cockatiels enjoy new toys and some like the carrot tops to play with and eat. Be forewarned that it may get messy if he shreds the greens and throws them out of the cage.
Choose fresh, crisp vegetables for your bird to eat.
Socialize and play with your feathered friend on a daily basis to gain his trust. This will make him more likely to accept new items that you offer him.
Remove carrot pieces and tops if your pet does not eat them within an hour or so. You wouldn't enjoy soggy, limp vegetables and neither will your bird.
Provide clean, fresh water for your cockatiel on a daily basis.
Commercial cockatiel pellets should make up about 60 to 80 percent of your bird's diet and the remainder should be table food.
How Much Seed Do I Feed My Cockatiel?


I am going to be getting this back up and running. I have some things in the works that are super exciting.
A few years back I lost a close friend to brain cancer. It was tough. Mike was a great guy…and full of life, before his struggle with cancer robbed him of his vitality. He fought like hell. But he finally lost the war.
I miss him. He was one of my closest friends in Columbus in the years between high school and LaGrange.
In the last two weeks, I got hit with two more bodyblows. Jason Sparks, another of the Columbus crew, and one of the sneakiest funny guys I ever knew had a heart attack at his home in Cataula.
Jason and I were pretty close Facebook friends. I loved his photos of country life, of his coi pond and his cat that he loved dearly.
Then, on Saturday, news of another passing, this time a high school classmate. James Eaton was one of the nicest people you could ever meet. Quick with a smile, a laugh and even great advice. I had not seen James in person in years, but we talked often on Facebook. I hoped that next time the family made a trip back to NC we could meet up and catch up with James and his lovely wife. James was a gentle giant of a man, who played bass in a rock band. I feel like he never met a stranger. His wife Heather is planning a party at a Charlotte bar to celebrate his memory on Thursday night. I wish I could make it. I think it will be the perfect tribute. He is gone much too soon, the victim of a heart, that again…just stopped beating.
I don't have any sage advice to take away from these losses. I hate each of them equally. I guess all I can say is treasure the moments. Treasure your family. Live like James. Appreciate nature and friendship like Jay. And fight. Fight like Mike. We are all a little less whole without the three of them around.
I have been slacking on posts lately, so it is time to get back in the saddle.
First off, I am going to sing the praises of Bellwoods Social House.
My buddy Arianne Fielder is heading up the bar program, and has an all-star staff on hand.
I have not had food, but I have been in two Fridays in a row for after-work cocktails…and I am impressed.
G and Tea. Photo by Me.
Week 2 was a Kentucky Sundress. I was a little concerned that it might be a girly drink, but Alyssa and Rebecca convinced me it was basically a Manhattan. Very manly. Made with Woodford Reserve, strawberry and rosemary infused blanc vermouth, St. Germain, and orange bitters (with a green chartreuse rinse).
Next time I am going to try the old fashioned. I just always try to order things in a bar that I do not make at home (and I make a mean old fashioned).
They are also doing a really cool shot program with shots and backs inspired by bars from around Atlanta and across the country.
I have not had food yet, but the staff had a great looking Asian noodle and shrimp salad. They really seemed to like it. Other folks seem to like it quite a bit.
Bandeja paisa from Kiosco in Marietta Photo by Me.
Speaking of food, Linds and I had a date night at Kiosco in Marietta. You can see my plate was full. I am a sucker for the Bandeja paisa. We also painted ceramics for the kiln. She won the painting contest. Results (with photos) to come in a later blog.
You're the Worst. Is the best.
I bet your girlfriend loves the Leftovers?
Forget Shark Week…When is Grouper Week?
This Grouper clearly does not give a damn….
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine tea, lemon, ginger liqueur, whisky, and bitters. Shake for 12 seconds. Strain into a Collins glass filled with ice. Garnish with lemon twist and serve immediately.
Good thing they don't have my size.
Also, I can't look at this without thinking of the Hunt for Red October Movie.
Worth a few minutes to get a good laugh.
We broke down and got a Kamado Grill, and the family is really loving it so far. We got the Vision Pro S. I have already used it to put together some really good meals.
I had to deal with some minor medical crap at the end of the week. Luckiy it was a quick fix and I bounced back really fast.
Lindsey wrote a great post this morning about our Saturday movie night. Spoiler alert…the movies were bad.
The Second season of Mind of a Chef is available on Amazon Prime Video. This one features Bailey chef idol Sean Brock and New York CIty super chef April Bloomfield with Narration by Anthony Bourdain.
Pretty sure we are going out of town for Thanksgiving. Taking suggestions on a good location.
Doug Savage is a genius.

Cappuccino potato chips? Do. Not. Want.
I did a teaser on Nashville hot chicken this week. I have more on that on the way soon.
I got some posts to make later this week (on a new grill, a plumbing catastrophe, and a date night) but I have been pretty swamped.
So I wanted to give you a dose of Nashville Hot Chicken – courtesy of The Bitten Word – to hold you over.
