Quinoa and Asparagus Hush Puppy Cakes – Makes a Dozen

Bread, buns, and cakes stress me out sometimes.  I try to find gluten-free options in the store that are appealing but lately none stand out.  I’m in the mood for texture/grittiness but without the wheat.  Rather than buying overpriced gluten-free options I opted to make my own…  These cakes are pretty darn good if I may say so.

I am heading out of town this weekend and wanted to use everything in my pantry/refrigerator… Successfully did just that.  The recipe calls for quinoa which is a fantastic gluten-free grain.  It is a great protein source for vegetarians and vegans since it is a complete protein – contains all of the nine essential amino acids!  Had a taste tester who said these were like a healthy but yummy version of hush puppies hence the name!

  • 1 cup quinoa, cooked (utilized the Organic Tricolor Quinoa from Trader Joe’s – so delish)
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/3 cup aged parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 cup asparagus, minced
  • 2 tbsp garlic, crushed or minced (when in a bind I opt for ready-to-use garlic products which are a staple in my refrigerator – I love the Roasted Minced Garlic from Spice World)
  • 1 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt or ‘to taste’ (I did about 3 full grinds of my salt – equivalent to 1/2 tsp)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper; ground
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper; flakes

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, olive oil, eggs, asparagus, garlic, and flour, stir well.
  2. Add the necessary spices (S&P) then stir well or mix with your hands.
  3. Under medium-high heat drizzle olive oil in a large saucepan then using your hands create Ping-Pong shaped balls and place on the pan.  Keep a space between each ball then flatten with a spatula.
  4. Allow to heat each side for 3-4 minutes until slightly browned then finish with a 30 second-1 minute sear on each side.
  5. Set to the site on a cool plate or wire rack.
  6. These cakes are absolutely heavenly when added to a salad, topped with meat, or topped with cooked veggies.
  7. Enjoy!

xxx – Sarah

To cook quinoa:  Combine 1 cup quinoa and 2 cups water bring to a boil atop stove then reduce to a simmer and cover.  I usually allow it to sit out on the stove top covered for 2-3 hours then start utilizing it by itself or in other recipes such as this one.

NC House Bill 890: Liquor Reform Measures

Any elevation of spirit is welcome in the time of COVID.

As attorneys representing breweries, wineries, distilleries, retailers, and countless other businesses working in North Carolina’s hospitality industry, we have witnessed the industry’s struggles first hand. during the COVID-19 pandemic. We’ve also seen our distillers, in particular, face the hurdles associated with North Carolina’s historic liquor monopoly.

Last month, North Carolina state lawmakers made it clear that they, too, had witnessed these struggles. On September 10, Governor Cooper signed House Bill 890, omnibus legislation containing liquor reform measures that should benefit all owners of businesses governed by the liquor control commission. Many provisions of the bill focus on the state’s nearly 100 distilleries.

Distillery Changes

In particular, the legislation, which passed by a 35-7 vote by the state Senate and a 95-8 vote by members of the House, levels the playing field for distilleries by making laws applicable to them more consistent with the laws governing wineries and breweries.

For example, distilleries previously could not be open during hours when local ABC stores were not open. Now, distilleries can offer tours, tastings, and can sell unopened containers of their product to consumers for off-site consumption seven days a week (9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 9 p.m. Sunday). Distilleries are no longer required to keep records related to tours given to people who visit the distillery before purchasing a bottle of distilled spirits, as required by NC Gen. Stat. 18B-1105(a)(4).

Distilleries or their representatives who obtain a Spirits Special Event Permit can now not only offer free tastings to consumers at trade shows, conventions, local fundraisers and farmers’ markets, but can also sell beverages blended or distilled spirits at the distillery during such events. Notably, however, the sale of mixed drinks as part of a consumer tasting is not permitted in shopping malls, street festivals, holiday parties or balloon races. Finally, after obtaining the appropriate permit, distilleries will also be able to give away one 50 milliliter mini-bottle per customer per day at trade shows, festivals and other similar approved events.

Additionally, changes for consumers are also coming to State ABC stores. Consumers will now be able to place orders online and then pick up products from ABC stores across the state. Business owners will no longer have to travel to pick up liquor from ABC stores and warehouses – they will be able to order liquor and have it delivered to their outlets, just like beer and wine are delivered.

The legislation also allows private label distilled spirits, meaning individuals and restaurants can contract to have products produced and labeled for them with a label indicating that the product was “bottled for”, “distilled for” or “in honor of” a particular individual, event, company or cause.

The legislation creates a new license known as the “Non-Resident Spirits Seller’s License” that can be issued to distilleries outside of North Carolina that sell their products in the state; brokerage of such products; or a spirits importer/bottler. Licensee is authorized to sell, deliver and ship spirits that have been approved for sale in North Carolina to Licensee’s employees in North Carolina and to Licensee’s brokerage if the brokerage holds a non-resident spirits vendor’s license for the purpose of holding special spirits events. Shipments and deliveries are limited to the quantity of spirits required for any consumer tasting scheduled within one month of shipment or delivery.

In areas where the sale of mixed beverages has not been approved, a distillery located on property used for bona fide agricultural purposes may sell mixed beverages containing only spirit alcohol produced at the distillery for consumption on the premises. .

Finally, a North Carolina Alcoholic Spirits Advisory Council will be created, made up of members with training or experience in the alcohol or tourism industries. Council members will receive no salary for their service, but will have powers and duties involving the promotion of public awareness and the quality of the North Carolina spirits industry.

Retail Provisions Benefiting Consumers

Retailers of all types and consumers will also benefit from the legislation, which expands the legal size of a growler (for beer or wine) from 2 liters to 4 litres. Business owners will also have the right to make their outdoor dining extensions (and liquor service areas) permanent and sell alcoholic beverages for offsite consumption in designated “social districts.” Cities and counties will have the ability to carve out Social Neighborhood Zones, where locals and tourists can walk around with alcoholic beverages purchased in the Social Neighborhood. And these ‘walktails’ aren’t the only new development; Charter buses that travel at least 75 miles will now be allowed to serve alcohol. Finally, the extension of on-site sales to outdoor spaces, temporarily authorized, is now codified. Retailers located in cities and counties that pass an ordinance authorizing the extension of premises must follow the steps set forth in 18B-904(h) to obtain approval for the extension of their premises.

Sports fans also have something to celebrate from the legislation. Stadiums, facilities and athletic arenas at public universities and colleges in North Carolina can now sell two malt beverages or glasses of wine to a single customer at a time. This should reduce the time fans spend in line for drinks at sporting events.

Finally, the legislation expands ABC’s jurisdiction to regulate not only alcoholic beverages, but also alcoholic consumables. Alcohol-based consumables are defined as any manufactured and packaged ice cream, gum or gelatin food product containing at least one-half percent (0.5%) alcohol by volume. These products were previously beyond the reach of the ABC system. The new legislation, however, will require that all manufacturers of such products be registered in the state, that all products and labels for such products be approved by the Commission, and that such products be sold only through appropriate retail channels.

Special Event Permit Provisions

Representatives of non-resident malt beverage, winery brand and spirits brand sellers may now qualify to hold a malt beverage, winery or spirits special event license, as applicable, to enable them to give free tastings of their products at Commission-approved shopping malls, entertainment venues, festivals, hot air balloon races, farmers’ markets and fundraising events.

Companies regulated by the ABC Commission have endured many challenges throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, which likely shed light on the historic challenges facing North Carolina distillers. Hopefully, this legislation’s focus on modernizing liquor sales and promoting outdoor dining and social neighborhoods in North Carolina will lift all boats. The authorization process is nuanced and requires attention to detail.

The Winners And Losers From Biden’s Big Pardoning News

While the marijuana industry wants cannabis to be de-scheduled, some have argued that moving the cannabis plant to a lower Schedule 2 or 3 drug could be even worse as the whole industry could be handed over to pharmaceutical companies.

As my phone lite up with news about President Biden’s big cannabis industry news, I immediately realized politics are a game of give and take, so why right now, Joe?  Why did President Biden pick Thursday to announce the pardoning of thousands of cannabis offenders and tell his Attorney General Merrick Garland to expeditiously review the cannabis plant’s listing as a Schedule 1 drug?

Could it be a coincidence that Biden’s marijuana announcement coincides with the Federal government ‘s announcement that they have enough evidence to charge Joe’s son, Biden Hunter, with federal crimes related to tax and gun-purchase charges?  Throw up a good will headline to cover the stench coming for Hunter Biden’s laptop?

A group of Republicans just formed an anti-legalization wave in the Senate this week based around family values and “more research is needed” rhetoric. Is the push for “looking at the scheduling listing” a push for Big Pharma to get cannabis as a schedule 2 drug and take control of the industry? Big money and lobbyist tend to get things done.

Inquiring minds want to know!

Let’s break down the winners and loser from Thursday’s announcement from the White House.

As The Guardian summarizes:

“There are thousands of people who have prior Federal convictions for marijuana possession, who may be denied employment, housing, or educational opportunities as a result. My action will help relieve the collateral consequences arising from these convictions,” Biden said in a statement released on Thursday afternoon.

He went on to urge all governors to do the same with regards to state offenses, saying, “Just as no one should be in a Federal prison solely due to the possession of marijuana, no one should be in a local jail or state prison for that reason, either.”

The president also called on the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Attorney General to begin the administrative process to review how marijuana is scheduled under federal law.

Marijuana is currently classified in Schedule 1 of the Controlled Substances Act under federal law. This classification puts marijuana in the same schedule as for heroin and LSD and even higher than the classification of fentanyl and methamphetamine, two drugs that are fueling the ongoing overdose epidemic across the country.

As ESPN would say, who won and lost yesterday’s trade?

  • People with Federal Marijuana Convictions

While they may not get time back in life that simple marijuana chargers destroyed, they will get their records cleaned up for the sake of jobs, housing, voting, and a variety of other avenues that are closed to “convicted felons”.  No matter what you think of the rest of the statement, this is the best news in years for the marijuana industry and people convicted of simple marijuana offenses since 1972.  Win, win, win!

  • Delta-8 and Delta-9 THC From Hemp

While this may be the first step to full cannabis legalization and Delta-8 and 9 from hemp will have direct federal legal competition from their cousin cannabis, that still may years away, and yesterday’s announcement from the President means no one is going to start making Delta-8 and 9 illegal or banned at the Federal level.

RELATED: Will Biden Make A Move On Cannabis?

Outside of the cannabis industry itself, no one really cares about these details of origin around Delta-8 and 9 from hemp and the “real deal” stuff.  If the president is starting steps to legalize cannabis, no one is going backwards with a fine-tooth comb and looking to ban hemp products.  The wave of federal legalization has begun and no one outside of the industry has the interest or time to start reversing the Farm Act of 2018 and banning hemp products now.

Also, as you will read later in this article, if this is a move by Big Pharma to get control of the cannabis industry as a schedule 2 drug, then Delta-8 from hemp could be the only game left in town!

  • Websites and Cheap Licenses

Think about what Amazon did to brick and mortar, now transfer that to cannabis. Did all brick-and-mortar stores disappear? No, but did it put thousands of stores out of business.

If you have cannabis traffic on your website and you can get a cheap license in Oklahoma or Colorado, guess what?  You are now taking market share from every MSO in America.

The MSO moat built on archaic federal laws is starting to crumble, and you better be ready for the 10 or 20 “Amazon’s of Weed” to pop up and start shipping the with a legal license as soon as the federal law allows it. With a website with traffic and a cheap rec license, all you would need is a room for inventory and a UPS account and you immediately start cutting into Trulieve’s and Cufaleaf’s revenue.

RELATED: 5 Surprising Benefits Of Legalizing Marijuana

Smartest investment now for MSOs is to buy up every cannabis website they can for their traffic, and then convert that traffic into loyal customers when the moment comes. Start building your digital moats, not the ones with real sidewalks.

  • The Marijuana Industry

They are going to be listed as both winners and losers, and you will see why in a minute. Obviously, a big headline and tons of people are going to get legal relief that they have needed for decades. This pushes legalization to the forefront of everyone’s morning newsfeed and gets people excited again about legal cannabis.

  • MSOs

Yes, multi-state operators serving mid-grade weed, you are in trouble. To mimic Jeff Bezos, your already shrinking margins are my opportunity. If you think numbers and margins were bad the past 5 months, wait until interstate commerce starts and oversupplied states can ship to undersupplied states, as well as small suppliers who can now ship across America if they know how to get traffic to their website. Your margins are going to get razor thin, and your “legal moat” is starting to get chipped away with yesterdays’ announcement.

Ironic, I know. While letting people get a clean record is a huge win, these programs set up to help those affected by the War on Drugs (Biden a big part of that by the way) are hanging on by a thread in some states. If this is a step toward interstate commerce and full legalization, delivery licenses for SE and EE applicants will lose 90% of their value over time. The moat and laws that protect MSOs are all trying to be used to help SE and EE businesses, but they will get crushed with full federal legalization. That did not happen, but with Merck Garland told to review schedule classification, the wheels are in motion.

  • The Marijuana Industry

The second part of the announcement from the White House should be very worrisome for weed. While the marijuana industry wants cannabis to be de-scheduled, the likes of Steve DeAngelo have argued that moving the cannabis plant to a lower schedule 2 or 3 drug could be even worse as the whole industry could be handed over to pharmaceutical companies.

RELATED: Big Pharma Loses Billions With Each State That Legalizes Weed, So What Is Their Next Move?

Is Big Pharma behind this Biden push? If you believe Biden is not a weed fan at all, and politics is all about money and maneuvering, maybe try reading behind the lines on this one. Class 3 or 4 is better than 1 for sure, but 2 may be awful and deep-pocketed Big Pharma lobbyists may be burning up the phones to the Senate as we speak. A true trojan horse if that is the grand plan.

The Gastronome Restaurant Reviews - Glenapp Castle, Ballantrae, Girvan KA26 0NZ

Glenapp Castle, Ballantrae, Girvan KA26 0NZ

Visit: August 10, 2021

Price: ***

Award: 3 AA Rosettes

Glenapp Castle is an 1870 Scottish Baronial-style castle on 36 acres of gardens and woodland overlooking the Ayrshire coastline and out to Ailsa Craig, situated 1.7 miles from Ballantrae and 15 miles from the town of Stranraer.  The hotel is a member of Relais & Chateaux.

Apart from the magnificent gardens and well-appointed rooms, the hotel offers gourmet style cuisine.

On our visit, the dinner menu offered 6-courses plus canapes and coffee and petit fours.  The canape selection included an excellent pakora, a smoked salmon mousse, and a beetroot goats cheese tart.  These were served during our pre-dinner drink in the lounge area.

We started with a cup of celeriac velouté with balsamic vinegar jelly.  This was very pleasant.

Next, we were served grilled Crotin goat’s cheese, beetroot, broccoli, pickled hazelnut, fried garlic and broccoli espuma.

The pan fried Orkney Bay scallop, with cauliflower puree, pickled golden raisins, and fresh apple, was served next.  The scallop was well cooked, but I think a sauce would have lifted the dish.

For our main course, we had a choice of squab or cod, and we both chose the cod.  The cod was pan fried, and served with lemon curd, salsa verde, tomato cous cous, and basil oil.  Again, for me, I would have preferred a sauce with the cod.

The pre-dessert was a red currant compote with a brown butter ice cream.  The ice cream was excellent.

We were then given the choice of a Pavlova dessert or a selection of cheeses.  I chose the Pavlova.  This was a “de-constructed” dessert; a meringue dome covered a spoonful of Tahitian vanilla ice cream.

Stuart Clarke Restaurant ReviewGlenapp Restaurant was awarded 1 Michelin Star in the review of 2011 under Adam Stokes, but lost it in the review of 2014.

All fish and shellfish are line-caught or hand-dived off Scotland’s west coast and the game comes from local estates from across Ayrshire; beef, lamb, and pork are farmed only 17 miles from Glenapp Castle.

The service was very professional and friendly.  All the staff were very enthusiastic about the hotel and grounds.

We stayed overnight in a Garden View room.  The room was very spacious and well-appointed.  Tea and coffee were served to you fresh, 24 hrs a day.  The bathroom had a bath, with a shower over the bath.

The gardens and scenery are tremendous, and there are lots of activities if you have the energy.

The steering wheel Jair underwent surgery, this Monday, due to fractures in his left hand. The player, according to information released by Atltico on social media, had two titanium plates fixed to the second and third metacarpals. The procedure was conducted by doctor Felipe Armanelli, a specialist in this type of operation.

Atltico did not report Jair’s recovery time. The midfielder already lacks for the game against Flamengo, this Wednesday, at 9:30 pm, in Mineiro, in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil.

Newcastle prioritizes renewal of Bruno Guimarães, target of Real Madrid | football

Real Madrid’s target of interest, midfielder Bruno Guimarães became a priority for renewal in the Newcastle. He has a contract with the English club until June 2026 and is monitored by European football giants.

The Newcastle board signaled to the athlete’s representatives that intends to offer a salary increase and extend the contract of the player of the Brazilian team. The appreciation is for understanding that the 24-year-old midfielder has risen in level within the squad and on the world stage.

The ge found that Newcastle even accepts to have negotiations for Bruno Guimarães, but a sale would only be carried out for “exorbitant values”. Sporting director Dan Ashworth joked that even £500m would not convince him.

The English club, however, will need to trade players to suit financial fair play, with the need to raise 210 million pounds (R$ 1.25 billion).

“We have to be able to generate some money to reinvest and go again. I cannot lie and say that we will never have to sell a player and that we will always be able to keep our best talents,” said Dan Dan Ashworth.

I absolutely don’t want to sell Bruno. He is a top player and a very important part. But at some point, you have to trade like something around financial fair play.

— Dan Ashworth, at a press conference

Bruno Guimarães recently admitted to the newspaper “The Chronicle” who talked to Real Madrid, but that was nothing more than initial contacts. The Spanish club wanted the midfielder to replace Casemiro, who transferred to Manchester United.

In addition to Real, clubs like United, Manchester City and Liverpool are watching the Brazilian’s growth.

The midfielder is an almost certain name in coach Tite’s call-up for the World Cup, to be announced on November 7th. Bruno Guimarães puts the World Cup as a priority and does not intend to talk about renewal with Newcastle or possible departure from the English club until then.

He also puts the proximity of the birth of his first child, Matteo, as an impediment to a sudden change of club.

Bruno Guimarães was signed by Newcastle in January this year, after the fixed payment of 42.1 million euros to Lyon, in addition to another 8 million euros in variables. The midfielder has seven goals and two assists in 24 games for the English team.

Tragedy of family who disappeared at sea is still a mystery, 9 years later – 10/22/2022

“This year, the Tasman Sea is shooting up storms like a machine gun. There is no doubt that we will be victims of some of them”, wrote, in his notebook, a kind of diary that he always carried on his voyages, the American captain David Dyche. III, when he was flying back from Brazil, where he worked in three-month shifts aboard ships, providing services for oil platforms, to New Zealand, where he would find his wife and son again to continue the long journey around the world that were making, aboard the family boat: a large and ancient schooner, called Niña.

Dyche didn’t know. But days later, his prediction would turn into a premonition. And his prophecy would come true in the worst possible way.

What, however, Dyche, an experienced 58-year-old captain, 25 of them in command of vessels, knew all too well was that his departure for that leg of the voyage, between Opua, New Zealand, and Newcastle, Australia, was delayed. , and that both the calendar and the meteorology clearly showed that the annual storm season in the Tasman Sea had already begun.

But that delay had been a necessity: the boat’s engine had failed months before, and the journey, scheduled to take place in February 2013, had to be postponed to the end of May, in order to wait for parts to arrive for the repair, and also the end of Dyche’s new period of work in Brazil.

He also knew that this crossing would be hard and “scrambled”, as he noted in his notebook. But not even remotely would he have imagined what was to come.

‘It will be incredible’

In Opua, Dyche was reunited with his family – his wife Rosemary, 60, his son David, 17 – as well as four friends, who would also be part of the crew: Evi Nemeth, a 73-year-old retired American university professor. , Kyle Jackson, 27, young Danielle Wright, 18, the daughter of a couple of old friends, who wanted to enjoy the school holidays living an “adventure on the seas”, and Matthew Wootton, 35-year-old English politician and environmentalist, member of the British Green Party, who, on the eve of the match, posted on his social networks another message that would become almost prophetic: “It’s going to be amazing”, he wrote.

But it was far more terrifying than that.

Boat was 85 years old

The schooner Niña was an old and almost legendary sailing boat. With a wooden hull over 20 meters long, elegant lines and a huge mast, it had been built 85 years earlier, in 1928, to compete in the Copa del Rey, a transoceanic regatta between the United States and Spain, a competition it won. with extreme ease.

Later, it maintained its reputation as a great boat, winning, also that year, in Europe, the most famous regatta in England, the Fastnet, becoming the first American sailboat to take the coveted trophy to America.

The success in competitions led the schooner to be bought by the commodore of the then most famous yacht club in the United States, New York. There, she gained the status of “flagship”, or “main vessel of the club” – a kind of symbol boat of the entity.

Until, over the years, Niña was sold from one owner to another, until it fell into the hands of Dyche, a lover of classic boats. And he decided that he would go around the world with that schooner, doing each stretch between work, and taking with his family and, whenever he could, also some friends.

That’s what Dyche did, on that May 29, 2013, when he left New Zealand, for another leg of the trip.

The last of the lives of those seven occupants of the schooner Niña.

Trip started well. But…

The crossing, of about 1,500 nautical miles (more than 2,700 kilometers) was expected to last around 10 days, “depending on weather conditions”, as Dyche warned, when leaving the port of Opua, where the schooner had been stopped for months. , waiting for the engine to be repaired. But it started well.

In spite of bad weather forecasts, in the first days, the group advanced without major problems, and its location at sea was passed from time to time to friends on land, who followed the old schooner’s journey from a distance – which, for that reason, it was somewhat precarious in terms of navigation and communication resources.

Ask a meteorologist for help

The octogenarian Niña only had a limited-range VHF radio, a satellite phone, a manual distress call device for emergency situations, and a portable tracker, which was also not automatic and had to be manually activated in order to provide the location of the boat.

Daily, the crew member in charge of communications, the American professor Evi Nemeth, checked the position of the boat on the hand tracker, and, via satellite phone, asked the New Zealand meteorologist Bob McDavitt, also a friend of the Dyches, for instructions on the best course to take, in order to dribble the storms that prowled on all sides.

But on June 3, six days after they set sail, when they were about 600 kilometers off the New Zealand coast (but still more than 2,000 kilometers from Australia), there was no escape – and they were caught in one of those storms, with gusts of wind that exceeded 120 km/h, and waves over seven meters high.

Evi then took the satellite device and called the meteorologist McDavitt once more, who advised them to veer south, “until the winds subside a little”, which, however – he warned – “could take some time”.

“Be prepared for difficult times”, warned the meteorologist.

It was one of the premonitions about the tragic fate that awaited the crew of that schooner.

last contact

That same night, McDavitt received another call from Evi, informing him that even the schooner’s storm sails, much smaller than usual, had torn from the furious gusts of wind, and that they were now “impaired, just through the engine”.

The meteorologist regretted the fact and asked them to keep in touch. Evi replied that she would call back the next day. It was the last news of the schooner Niña and its seven crew members.

They all disappeared into the sea, somewhere in the stormy Tasman Sea.

And never knew where or why?

where to look for them?

What happened after that last phone call, only the unfortunate occupants of the schooner Niña could say. But there was no one left to clarify.

It is certain that, whatever happened (flooding of the boat, destruction of the hull, capsizing…), it happened in a fulminating way. So fast that there was no time to call for help, nor to manually activate the boat’s tracker and emergency device.

With that, even after it became clear to the meteorologist McDavitt that something very serious had happened with the Dyche boat (since they did not call again on the 4th, as they said they would, nor did they respond to the numerous calls he made after Besides that), it was impossible to know exactly where to look for the schooner – not least because no debris, remains, equipment or traces were found floating in the sea in the region, in the following days.

Searches in the wrong place

The situation would get even more dramatic later, when McDavitt called the New Zealand Navy, asking for searches in the region, and was answered with a disconcerting “no!”.

Alleging that Captain Dyche’s vessel “had the resources to ask for help” (without taking into account the precariousness of the almost century-old schooner’s equipment), and that “if they were not activated, not even the meteorologist had received a distress call in that last call “, it was because “there was no emergency situation”, the entity took an absurd ten days to start acting.

Only when the boat’s disappearance became inexplicable did the New Zealand Navy decide to look for the Dyche.

Apparently in the wrong place.

Ignored the weatherman

Instead of taking into account the suggestion given by the meteorologist (and, apparently, accepted by Captain David), that the schooner should head south, the New Zealand sea rescue service chose to center the search in the region where the operator Liv had reported that the boat was in when she’d last made a phone call to McDavitt.

As a result, they began to look for traces—or, at best, surviving castaways—in the area where the boat had been, not where it could have gone, after the meteorologist’s advice, although that made more sense.

20 days later they gave up

Only after days of fruitless searches did the New Zealanders decide to expand the area searched, each time encompassing the Tasman Sea, by then already ravaged by so many other storms, that they themselves could have taken it upon themselves to make any trace of the schooner disappear once and for all. left on the surface.

Until, on July 5th, more than 20 days after the search began, and after searching an area of more than 1.3 million square kilometers of sea – one of the largest operations of its kind in the history of Oceania – , the search for the seven occupants of the schooner Niña was closed. And the tragedy, made official.

No body was ever found.

mystery message

To this day, however, one detail fuels the anguish and disbelief of the victims’ relatives and friends in that controversial rescue operation.

On the eve of the end of the search, an enigmatic message, sent by the schooner in the early afternoon of the 4th, but which never reached its addressee, was delivered by the company Iridium, operator of the satellite phone that was on the Dyche boat, to the New Zealand Maritime Operations Control Center.

What it said was never known, as the agency never disclosed its content, not even to whom it was intended – although the most obvious was meteorologist McDavitt.

Tributes until today

Most likely, that censored message only proved that Captain Dyche had heeded the meteorologist’s advice and diverted the schooner’s course to the south, which would have made the agency’s failure evident in carrying out the first searches in the wrong area – which is why the content of the message was never disclosed.

Stories from the Sea - Missing Family - PHOTO 6 - Facebook/Reproduction - Facebook/Reproduction

To this day, relatives and friends maintain a Facebook page in honor of the seven victims of the disappearance of the schooner Niña nine years ago, which became one of the greatest enigmas of the often turbulent Tasman Sea, especially during its stormy season. winter – as, incidentally, had predicted Captain David Dyche III, in that premonitory note of his, on the way to the last crossing he would make.

Another far more bizarre case

It was in that same region, and also on the same date (June 4, only 19 years earlier, in 1994), that one of the most bizarre cases in nautical history took place: that of a couple of esoteric sailors, the Americans Darryl and Diviana Wheeler. , which, instead of dodging what was considered one of the worst storms of the century in the Tasman Sea, did just the opposite and advanced towards it, for an even more bizarre reason: to find a flying saucer, which would take them to another dimension — click here to know this other story, which despite being absurd actually happened.

And that, unlike the case of the Dyche, did not end in tragedy.

America has changed

From 2014….

I grew up in the fifties in America. I was a great time. The middle class was growing. Most of our little families in the mill town where I live were able to buy the houses which had been duplex apartments owned by the company and convert them into nice little single family homes. My Dad was able to buy his first new car in 1966. A Ford fairlane. It was a pretty good little car. Had a 289, 8 cylinder motor. We ate more hamburgers by 1967, where we had eaten pinto beans and corn bread back in 1958. I think we went to Kentucky Fried Chicken to eat out for the first time in the late sixties. I was able to buy two comic books a week for a quarter a piece in the late sixties, where I had only gotten one per week back in the fifties, even though they were cheaper. I found some friends who had been collecting since the early fifties and was able to catch up on some of the series I had been wanting to read, but couldn’t afford.

By the time I graduated High School in 1968, things were beginning to change in America….and they haven’t stopped changing since that year.

John Kennedy was gone. He left in 1963. He was killed in November of that year. It was the same year that Martin Luther King had given his famous “I have a dream” speech in Washington. That had been in August of ’63. I didn’t get to see it in person, but the news carried it. I remember it well. I remember him saying:

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day

live in a nation Where they will not be judged by the color

of their skin but by the content of their character. l I have

a dream … I have a dream that one day in Alabama,

with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips

dripping with the words of interposition and nullification,

one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black

girls will he able to join hands with little white boy’s and

white girls as sisters and brothers.”

Sisters and brothers. He had that dream.

Up until that year, 1968, we still had Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King. But they were both assassinated that year. Fighters who would fight for freedom were gone. Heroes who would fight for all people of all colors and all creeds…who would replace them? Who could replace them? Who has replaced them?

I look at the people who are in this world of 2016 and I wonder…..what have we become a nation of? I realize there has always been hatred and division in America. America is a country which is grounded in division. We were born from division in the Revolutionary war. We killed each other during the Civil war over the division between North and South. We have been divided many times since then. But I will have to say I have never, ever witnessed the hatred and vitriole, and the pure purposelessness which I have seen recently.

I am looking very hard for some of those heroes like we had back in the sixites….

What man dost thou dig it for?

The success of this joke depends on the assumption of the Default Man. When Hamlet says “man” he means human because the sense, for time immemorial, has been that men are the standard humans and women are the deviation. So everyone always starts with man first – as in, is it a normal person or a woman?

I would actually love to see this scene played with a female gravedigger and a male Hamlet who might, condescendingly, ask his next question, as a concession to the lady gravedigger. Or even better – what if the gravedigger were non-binary and Hamlet’s questions are not just part of a vaudeville routine but also an attempt to engage with the gender of the person before him.

Bath & Body Works shares up 25% on Q3 results: should you take profits?

bath & body works shares up on Q3 results

Bath & Body Works Inc (NYSE: BBWI) jumped nearly 25% in extended trading after the retail chain reported better-than-expected results for its fiscal third quarter.

Should you sell Bath & Body Works shares into the strength?

Investors are also rewarding the raised future guidance.

Bath & Body Works now expects to earn $3.0 a share to $3.20 a share this year, including up to $1.65 in Q4, as per the earnings press release. In comparison, analysts were at $1.54 for the quarter and $2.89 for fiscal 2022 as a whole.

But that’s not sufficient to get Victoria Greene (G Squared Private Wealth) excited about the Bath & Body Works shares. On CNBC’s “Power Lunch”, she said:

I can’t get on board with it. It’s burning free cash flow, cash on hand has dwindled the past three quarters versus a debt at $6.0 billion. Sales are 5.0% lower. I just don’t see the catalyst other than that it’s cheap, but it might be cheap for a reason.

She expects to stock to be range bound between $30 and $40.

Then, of course, there’s fear of a recession and it remains to be known how well beauty products and personal-care items hold up in the face of a consumer slowdown.

Bath & Body Works tops estimates in its third quarter

  • Net income was cut nearly in half from $177 million to $91 million
  • Per-share earnings also fell significantly from 66 cents to 40 cents
  • Revenue at $1.60 billion was also down 5.0% versus a year ago
  • Consensus was 20 cents a share of EPS on $1.56 billion in revenue

Bath & Body Works Inc has been committed to cutting costs in recent months. Earlier in November, it named Gina Boswell as its new Chief Executive to take the helm on December 1st.

At $39, Bath & Body Works shares in after-hours are trading just below their 200-day Moving Average. The retail stock is still down nearly 45% for the year.

Dockdogs Eastern Regional Championships

Last weekend Dockdogs teams from 15 U.S. States and Canada converged on the WISP resort in Garrett County, Maryland for the first-ever Eastern Regional Championships.  This was the biggest Dockdogs event we’ve ever attended and it featured two pools, nightly social gatherings, and the best Big Air and Extreme Vertical dogs in the country.  The goal of the event (besides having fun and hanging out with friends!) was to earn an invitation to the Dockdogs World Championships that will take place in Dubuque, Iowa in November.

You may be wondering… did Bailey the Little GSP make the cut and earn a World invite?  Did she hold her own against our friends and competitors from all over the east coast?  Did she thrive in the 90+ degree hot and humid temps?  I’m happy to say that the answer to all of those questions is YES!!  After a long weekend of more than 20 competition jumps Matt and Bailey placed fourth in the Elite division.  Watch out Dubuque… We’re going to Worlds!

Bailey’s jumps weren’t stellar — actually none of the elite competitors were jumping the types of 23+ foot jumps we’re used to seeing out of them — but her 22’6″ qualifier jump with Matt was good enough to earn her a spot in the Elite finals.  Bailey also jumped a respectable 22’3″ for me which would have qualified us for finals if she hadn’t already been in the line-up with Matt.  (Matt and I always have a friendly competition going on to see who can get the biggest jump out of Bailey… I’m still ahead for the season with Bailey’s 23’1″ jump from Hog Dog a few weeks ago!)  🙂

Here are a few photos from the event:

Remember Baxter? We last saw this high-flyin’ Malinois at the event in Virginia Beach a few months ago. Baxter again showed everyone who’s boss by winning Super Elite Big Air, Iron Dog, and Speed Retrieve.

And here’s Rocket, another top-ranked Malinois. Rocket is from Pennsylvania and he’s one of Bailey’s friends.  Also… Rocket is sponsored by Precise Pet Products, go check them out!

An odd thing happened to our friend Tim during Elite finals. Tim thought that his black lab Boo looked a little slow running down the dock so he leapt in front of him at the last moment. Needless to say, physics took over and Boo slammed into Tim, sending him straight into the pool. Tim took the fall in stride and was able get out of the pool in time to complete Boo’s “real” jump… good enough for 3rd place Elite and a World Invite!

Here’s another shot of Bailey. She’s twisting mid-air in an attempt to catch her toy. Not her longest jump but it looked pretty cool!

This is Twister from Baltimore, Maryland and yes, that stick is about to hit her on the head. (Don’t worry though, she’s a hard-headed Chessie!) Twister rocked the dock earning second place Elite with her handler Steve and first place in the Youth Handler division with Steve’s son, James.

This weekend Bailey was jumping best with the “place and send” technique, meaning that we throw her toy into the water first, then take her to the back of the dock and release her. Here’s Matt chasing her down the dock during a qualifying round on Friday.

Thanks for stopping by and good luck to all of the teams who are going to World Championships!

So this morning was a disaster. That wasn’t my intention at all, I knew it was school-run day and I got up early,  showered and began to strip my sheets from the bed. I wore my gym gear and walked down towards the glass door into the hallway and eventually into the kitchen.
My son was surprisingly ready for school, he’s the sweetest boy I know. He had walked the dogs, put on his uniform and shoes (I’m usually screaming for him to get dressed every time!!), he had cooked his second breakfast and had put his trumpet at the door so we don’t forget it as we usually do. I put the kettle on for my fruit tea, once it had brewed  we were out the door.
There has been some maintenance work on our little country roads and it’s caused chaos but we were out on time to take the slightly longer route. There we were super mum and son in the car, ready!!!
Disaster number one struck at the end of our lane. Someone had got some new horses and was trying to back into the lane and onto their paddocks. They failed and I eventually had to give up and drive forward to give us way. That took about 4 minutes off the clock and in mama lane that’s a lifetime!!! Drove passed and gave them the stare of doom. Ok, let’s go. We get the “Diverted Traffic” sign and the workers have blocked 3/4 of the road. I’m on a tiny bridge and scared of reversing as many cars have ended up in the river, trust me.  There’s a car behind me and he isn’t budging. My son panics, gets out of the car and asks the guys if they can move their truck, “NO”.
Automatically, my day is slowly being ruined. I’ve already calculated it in my head, my son will be late no matter which route we take. I get a knot in my tummy, palms are sweaty and a million thoughts rush through my head: ” my son thinks I’m a bad mum; what will the Headmistress think; I can’t do this, but he has to get to school; what if I don’t mange to back up this road; why didn’t I turn the other way? Etc…
I started backing up slowly but I eventually turned into a mini savage, told my son to close his eyes as I was going to do a little stunt. I reversed up the road like something out of Fast and Furious and straight into a driveway to turn around. Well I drove as calmly as I could to the school, we got there but yes, he was late and I had to face the music. I signed the paperwork and walked slowly back to the car. I hopped in and my eyes welled up, what a fail and it’s not even a Monday. I composed myself and just drove slowly back, avoiding the route with the workmen as I was ready to punch and kick them all in the bloody nuts!!
I got home and was ready to just quit the day. It was surprisingly sunny though so I thought “this is the perfect time to press my RESET button”. So I did a quick kettle bell workout and felt better instantly.
letters reset in handwriting font
I usually always say on my Facebook page that Monday’s are the perfect day to press this imaginary button as it’s the beginning of the week and a great chance to get your mind ready for next few days. Well, I needed it today (Thursday) and used it to get my mind together and not focus on my morning moment of madness. It works for me and can be a small mental tool you can use to help you deal with day to day blips in your day. You can write it down or simply put it in your phone notes and start over.
I say this with the most sincerity, have a great day tomorrow and enjoy no matter what setbacks you face. Push through and make the most of the week.

Studies linking diet and health need to improve dramatically

Studies linking diet and health need to improve dramatically

The researchers created a star-based metric that rates the quality of evidence for a link between a given behavior — like eating red meat — and a particular health outcome.Credit: Education Images/Universal Images Group/Getty

Does eating red meat shorten lifespan? Certain researchers certainly think so. Work such as the Global Burden of Disease, Injury and Risk Factor Study1 led the World Health Organization and the United States Department of Agriculture to advise people to limit their consumption of unprocessed red meat, in order to protect against diseases such as type 2 diabetes and various cancers.

Other researchers are less sure. Red meat consumption goals, set by public health officials and expert groups, vary widely, with some advising people to eat no more than 14 grams a day and others stating no limit. recommended. This sends a confusing message, which in itself is not good for public health.

It’s not just about red meat: the evidence base surrounding many broader nutritional and health advice is also disputed. Now, a new approach could help health policymakers better assess the quality of studies assessing potential health risks. A team from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington in Seattle has created a star-based metric that rates the quality of evidence for a link between a given behavior – like eating meat flushed or smoking – and a particular health outcome2. A score of five stars means that the link is clearly established; a star means either there is no association between the two factors or the evidence is too weak to draw a firm conclusion.

What the researchers call “burden of proof” analysis doesn’t by itself resolve thorny issues such as the risks of red meat or the benefits of vegetables. But as a judgment on the quality of the research available, it can help signal to research funders where better evidence is needed for stronger conclusions.

How is the number of stars constructed? What are its parameters — and can the methodology itself be considered rigorous research? The IHME team did several things to try to quantify the effects of various biases in the studies assessed. An epidemiological study, for example, may be biased in different ways compared to a study testing the outcomes of health interventions. The researchers also eliminated what can be a common source of bias in research, namely the assumption that health risks increase exponentially with the parameter studied, for example blood pressure or red meat consumption. not transformed. And they tried to account for the bias that can arise when sample sizes are small.

Applying this framework to studies assessing a total of 180 questions produced mostly unsurprising results. Studies assessing an association between smoking and various cancers, for example, get a five-star rating3. Likewise, high systolic blood pressure – the force exerted by the heart to pump blood – has a five-star association with the narrowing of blood vessels called ischemic heart disease.4.

Studies evaluating diet and its effects on health score significantly lower. The IHME analysis, for example, finds only weak evidence for an association between consumption of unprocessed red meat and outcomes such as colorectal cancer, type 2 diabetes and ischemic heart disease.5. He finds no relationship in studies that explore whether eating unprocessed red meat leads to two types of strokes. There is stronger, but not overwhelming, evidence that eating vegetables reduces the risk of stroke and ischemic heart disease6.

In some cases, lower star ratings could be due to the size of the effect: for example, any health risk from eating red meat is likely to be small compared to the huge impact that smoking puts a strain on the body. Above all, the lower-rated results demonstrate that studies in these areas need to improve if they are to produce convincing results.

It is difficult to distinguish the effect of a single dietary component from those of the complex variety of exposures over a person’s lifetime. This would require larger studies, with a diverse pool of participants and strict control of their daily diet. Such studies will involve collaboration between research groups with different expertise and access to participants in different environmental settings – something that funders should encourage. It is a preferred company. A small risk for an individual does not mean a small impact on public health: a low-risk behavior can have a large impact at the population level if it is very common.

The literature in the field of responsible research and innovation highlights how metrics in science must always be questioned for their robustness and rigor. There should be broad consultation and, where possible, unintended consequences of using metrics should be anticipated, as shown by initiatives such as the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment and the Manifesto. from Leiden. This work must come sooner rather than later.

We have evidence that underpowered clinical studies, lacking the necessary controls to make sense of the data, do not help. If funders don’t focus their efforts on producing quality data, the public will remain confused, weary, distrustful, and deprived of the information they need to make informed health and lifestyle choices.

Bird flu outbreak detected at Alexandre family farm, forcing businesses to 'depopulate' and quarantine

Bird flu outbreak detected at Alexandre family farm, forcing businesses to ‘depopulate’ and quarantine

Bird flu outbreak detected at Alexandre family farm, forcing businesses to ‘depopulate’ and quarantine

An outbreak of bird flu has forced Alexandre Family Farm to “depopulate” its entire flock and start from scratch, Blake Alexandre said on Friday.

The contagious disease was detected in a flock of 43,000 birds at an “independent table egg producer” in Del Norte County, according to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s H5N1 avian flu detection map. United States.

Alexandre confirmed on Friday that the herd belonged to his family. The outbreak was detected about a week ago, he said, and they have finished culling their birds in accordance with government protocol. Alexandre Family Farm is unable to sell eggs for a while – Alexandre did not know this for a long time. But, he said, they will have new birds and come back.

“It’s kind of hard to deny that it would be us, so yeah, it’s us,” Alexandre told the Wild Rivers Outpost. “It’s an extremely difficult time on the farm and we just need to get through it quietly.”

In addition to the case in Del Norte County, new bird flu outbreaks have been detected in Stanislaus County and Monterey County, according to the California Department of Food and Agriculture. As of October 4, outbreaks had been confirmed in domestic herds in Butte, Calaveras, Contra Costa, El Dorado, Fresno, Sacramento and Tuolumne.

Infected premises are quarantined and birds euthanized to limit the spread of the disease, according to the CDFA.

In Oregon, bird flu has been detected in Coos, Douglas, Lane, Deschutes, Linn and Tillamook counties, according to the CDC.

Del Norte County Agriculture Commissioner Justin Riggs said the state veterinarian’s office notified him of the local outbreak, but he didn’t know it was at Alexander Family Farm. Riggs said staff from his department would assist in an inspection if requested by the CDFA or the state veterinarian’s office, but he received no “contact about it.”

“Our generally day-to-day role in this type of animal health issue is small,” Riggs said. “I had received a CDFA alert from the State Veterinarian’s Office indicating that Avian Flu had been detected in Del Norte. But usually, if they wanted us to do something, I would get a phone call from the CDFA.

Alexandre called the recent bird flu outbreaks “a bit like a pandemic”, saying it was the worst year his family has ever had. He said he’s been working with state and federal veterinarians to try to figure out how long his farm needs to be quarantined and when they can start replacing their birds.

Alexandre said he hasn’t received this information yet, in part because these agencies are “overwhelmed with problems everywhere, so they’re very scattered.”

“I think it’s been the worst year we’ve ever had and I think what needs to be said is that it’s carried by wildlife,” he said, adding that the herds of wild geese that visit his pastures have just left. “We are very vulnerable to this because our birds are spread over a 300 acre grazing area.”

According to the CDFA, bird flu has been detected in wild birds in 22 counties in California, including Siskiyou.

Although Del Norte is not among the 22 county CDFA lists as having infected wild birds, owners of backyard flocks should be careful about sanitation, especially if they go anywhere wild birds frequent or if they visit other domestic flocks, Riggs said.

These precautions are also important for those who own ducks, turkeys and other birds in addition to chickens, he said.

“If it was me, I wouldn’t wear my shoes or boots in the areas where my herd is going to be that I wore off the property,” Riggs said. “What you’re aiming for is to keep your flock as separate as possible from everything else. You don’t want to encourage wild birds to come onto your property if you have a flock. You certainly don’t feed them and if you have fruit remains in the trees, consider removing them.

Bird flu is highly contagious and often fatal to birds and is spread through direct or indirect contact with infected birds, according to CDFA. Symptoms include difficulty breathing; clear, watery discharge from nose, mouth and eyes; lethargy; decreased food and water consumption; swelling around the eyes, head, wattles or combs; discolored or bruised crest, wattles or legs; stumble and fall; twisting of the neck or sudden death.

Riggs urged people to visit the CDFA website and learn about animal health and biosecurity. They can also keep up to date with bird flu outbreaks in California, he said.

The CDFA urges poultry owners whose birds have suffered illness or sudden death to call its Sick Bird Hotline at (866) 922-2473.

The Alexandre Kids started Alexandre Kids, their organic pasture-raised egg business, about 18 years ago. Their products have appeared in stores across the state, most recently in Southern California.

The bird flu outbreak on his family’s farm is a blow, Alexandre said, but he and his son are trying to bounce back.

“I feel very lucky that we have a path back to production,” he said.

‘Amity’s time capsule opened’

A Knights Templar ceramic piece was among the artifacts recovered from the time capsule in Ohio’s Zanesville Masonic Temple. (All photos from WHIZ.)

The time capsule rescued from the ruins of the Zanesville Masonic Temple in Ohio, which burned down in January, was opened Saturday.

About sixty Freemasons and friends of the fraternity gathered for a fundraising dinner to benefit Lodge of Amity 5, which lost its home when the registered landmark burned, at which time the perfectly sealed metal box was breached by use of a power saw, local media have reported. Inside were various mementos of U.S. and Masonic coinage, postage stamps, ceramics, and many documents, photos, and ephemera, all practically as pristine as when they were deposited into the box in 1902.

The London Bar at Gatwick Airport

I had to fly last minute from London to Glasgow. I was in Gatwick South terminal on a Saturday night. I had come through security but I hadn’t had dinner or a much needed martini. So off I went in search of something to quench my thirst. The expensive caviar bar downstairs in the south terminal sadly doesn’t do martinis, although it has some exquisite … Continue reading The London Bar at Gatwick Airport

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier… Drunk

Who would serve a jug or pitcher of martini at a party? Oh wait, only Kim Philby, one of Britain’s most notorious traitors.    I’ve just read a book entitled “a spy among friends” by Ben MacIntyre. It was the first book I’ve read in a long time that I struggled to put down. It documents the story of Harold ‘Kim’ Philby as he worked … Continue reading Tinker, Tailor, Soldier… Drunk

The Tsukemono Gibson Martini

“Tsukemono Gibson sounds like some sort of Bond Girl.”  This is a very simple variation on the classic, elegant Gibson Martini. The only difference is that instead of a pickled onion garnish I’m using a gentler, more subtle addition: Japanese Tsukemono pickles.   I served a Gibson martini with Tsukemono as an accompaniment once which is what gave me the idea These pickles are easy to make (recipe … Continue reading The Tsukemono Gibson Martini

Bar Arabica, Borough Market, 2/5

A relatively pleasant martini was let down by bad service and poor value for money.   It wouldn’t take much to perfect their martini but some of the fundamentally poor elements of the restaurant will be more difficult to rectify.    Nestled under a railway arch in Borough Market, I had high hopes for this Levantine restaurant. However, the service wasn’t particularly attentive, the portions … Continue reading Bar Arabica, Borough Market, 2/5

MEATMission in Hoxton

   A trendy-gritty burger bar with a creative menu and sinful atmosphere. A sister of Meat Liquor, MEATMission excels at ‘the dirty burger’ concept. Expect greasy, gluttonous, satisfying burgers in good quality buns (or wrapped in lettuce if requested) to the backdrop of dark decor and an imposing musical selection (you might find it too noisy but I enjoyed it).    Their drink selection is also … Continue reading MEATMission in Hoxton

Happiness Forgets in Hoxton 4/5

“Great cocktails, no wallies.” A dreamy basement cocktail bar in central London with attentive, knowledgeable staff.     The low level lighting is sublime but it means that my photos are a bit rubbish. Just trust me and pay them a visit if you’re anywhere near Hoxton square in London. A classic martini wasn’t even on the menu – they have a wide range of other … Continue reading Happiness Forgets in Hoxton 4/5

Satan’s Whiskers, Bethnal Green 4/5

   This is possibly the best value for money martini in London, served in a trendy, speakeasy setting in Bethnal Green. A consummate cocktail bar, the staff pay particular attention to the quality of their martini, keeping the gin and glasses in the freezer. This is much more than can be said of most cocktail establishments serving martinis in the city, which frequently seem to … Continue reading Satan’s Whiskers, Bethnal Green 4/5

The perfect martini setting

As I have already implied, the act of drinking a martini is almost sacred. If you’re going to consume such a large amount of alcohol in one drink you’ve got to make it count. As such, in addition to the drink itself, the temperature, the accompanying nibbles, etc, you should also consider the location. Unless your temperament suggests otherwise, you wouldn’t want to have one … Continue reading The perfect martini setting

Kari Lake, protege of Trump, fails to be elected governor of Arizona

(Los Angeles) A Republican candidate supported by Donald Trump, Kari Lake, failed Monday to seize the seat of governor of Arizona, according to media, a new setback very noticed for the ex-president who must announce his 2024 presidential bid on Tuesday.

After a tight and tense competition in this key state, Democrat Katie Hobbs won on the wire against this emblematic figure of Trumpism, according to CNN and NBC.

Kari Lake, convinced that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump – despite the lack of evidence – had refused to make it clear that she would accept the result of her own ballot.

For any reaction, the unfortunate candidate tweeted Monday evening: “The people of Arizona know when they are being scammed”.

The former president for his part immediately denounced the validity of the ballot on his Truth Social network. ” Wow ! They just stole the election from Kari Lake. It’s really serious! »

This 53-year-old woman, who claims the nickname of “Trump in a petticoat” which the left has decked her out, was one of the outstanding personalities of the campaign. She was seen as one of the Republican’s lieutenants during the midterm elections, which took place on November 8.

The former local Fox News anchor had turned her broadcast notoriety into political capital, cultivating an image of a grace-stricken rebel who abandoned the “corrupt media”.

Immigration, crime, decline… this mother of two children had taken up all the themes of her mentor.

Her radicalism had earned her the title of “threat to democracy” by a large part of the American press, which already imagined her as a possible vice-president of Donald Trump in 2024.

Almost a week after the votes were held, the full results of the midterm elections are yet to be known – control of the House of Representatives, for example, remains an unknown.

But “democracy is worth the wait,” Democrat and future governor Katie Hobbs rejoiced on Twitter on Monday evening.

Secretary of State of Arizona, responsible for organizing the elections, she found herself in the spotlight during the 2020 presidential election, during which her state had played an important role.

Katie Hobbs had notably confided to having received threats after the publication of the results, tirelessly contested by Donald Trump and his supporters.

Kari Lake’s defeat is bad news for the real estate mogul, who hasn’t brought the election season the glory he was hoping for.

Donald Trump was personally involved in these votes, dubbing candidates who swear absolute loyalty to him.

But the Republican Party, which wanted to see a conservative wave sweep through the US Congress, did not do as well as it thought.

Democrats thwarted poll predictions by successfully retaining control of the Senate. And in the House of Representatives, if the right seems on track to seize the majority, it could be short.

Above all, many of the billionaire’s foals disappointed, weakening his position. Especially since he has to face competition from Ron DeSantis, governor of Florida re-elected triumphantly, who is said to have presidential ambitions.

Donald Trump, who promised a “very big announcement” for Tuesday, should, in all likelihood, formalize his candidacy for the presidential election of 2024.
