HOLIDAYMAKERS are being invited to enjoy a taste of life down on the farm in a new Cheshire County Council publication.

Stay on a Cheshire Farm features many bed and breakfast venues in rural villages surrounding Crewe and Nantwich.

It will be distributed through tourist information centres and service stations in a bid to boost the county's tourism industry.

Many farms offering accommodation were hard hit by the foot and mouth epidemic and are still trying to recover from the financial losses.

County Councillor David Rowland (pictured), chairman of Cheshire Rural Recovery Committee, said: `Farm accommodation has an important role to play in Cheshire's £600m tourism industry. Visitors have the reassurance that all members of the Stay on a Cheshire Farm group offer independently inspected and graded quality accommodation in beautiful parts of the county.' The brochure has been produced as part of a £10m rescue plan, funded by the North West Development Agency.

For more information call Isobel Worthing in the county tourism office on 01625 828337.

A regularly updated review of both Yemen and the Horn of Africa covering topics related to security, governance, and militant activity.

Yemen: Unidentified militants carry out quadruple suicide attacks targeting two Zaydi mosques in Sana’a; unidentified militant detonates SVEST targeting al Houthis in Sa’ada; Special Security Forces reportedly send al Houthi troops to Taiz

Horn of Africa: Security forces attempt to open roads in Hiraan region; al Shabaab releases video depicting 2009 suicide bombers

Yemen Security Brief

  • Two suicide bombers detonated suicide vests (SVEST) at the Zaydi Badr Mosque in the capital, Sana’a, on March 20 during Friday prayers. Two separate suicide bombers simultaneously detonated SVESTs at the Zaydi Hashoush mosque in al Jiraf, Sana’a. Both mosques were frequented by al Houthis. An estimated 77 people were killed in the attacks and over 200 were wounded. No group has yet claimed credit for the attacks.[1]
  • A suicide bomber detonated a SVEST at the Department of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in Sa’ada city, Sa’ada, on March 20. The bomber attempted to enter a Zaydi mosque in the city but was captured by al Houthi militants who transferred him to the DCI for questioning. Upon arrival at the DCI, the bomber detonated his explosives, killing an unspecified number of people.[2]
  • Special Security Forces (SSF) in the capital, Sana’a, reportedly deployed troops primarily comprised of al Houthi militants to Taiz governorate on March 19. The commander of the SSF in Aden, Abdul Hafiz al Saqqaf, was reportedly transferred to the custody of popular committees in Taiz following his surrender to pro-Hadi forces after widespread clashes in Aden city on March 19.[3]

Horn of Africa Security Brief

  • Somali National Army (SNA) troops supported by African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) forces began an operation on March 19 to open the roads from Beledweyne, Hiraan region to Bulo-Burde, Hiraan region. The roads to Bulo-Burde have been closed by al Shabaab for almost a year.[4]

Nearly 200 Cruises in 2022: Saga Announces ‘Busy Year’

spirit of discovery

Saga said that it is expecting a busy year as it plans to operate nearly 200 cruises across its ocean and river cruise business in 2022.

According to a press release, Saga’s two ocean ships – the Spirit of Discovery and Spirit of Adventure – are set to undertake 46 cruises between them and the cruise line’s two new river ships, the Spirit of the Rhine and Spirit of the Danube, will be clocking up 91 itineraries in total. There are also 55 chartered river cruises available, Saga noted.

“Our guests are experienced travelers, and we know they’re looking for opportunities to explore new destinations and try new things,” the CEO of Saga Cruises, Nigel Blanks, said. “We’ve built a cruising schedule for 2022 that caters to their interests, including some really unique options, from little-known Croatian islands, to access to cultural events that only take place once every ten years.”

Blanks also highlighted some interesting excursions that are offered during Saga’s cruises.

“Even the firm favorites such as Norway, the Caribbean and the Mediterranean have unique excursions from dog-sledding and ice hotels, to whale and bird watching, to sea-bed trekking and cooking dinner from the heat of a volcano. After all, experience is everything,” Blanks noted.

According to Saga, Spitzbergen's Arctic Landscape is one of its more unusual ocean cruises. This cruise departs Southampton on July 22, 2022, on the Spirit of Adventure, and travels across the Arctic Circle along the landscapes of Norway’s Svalbard archipelago.

Sights include the Lofoten Islands, where guests can learn about Norway’s Viking heritage, before cruising the southern tip of Norway to Kristiansand. With up to 15 percent currently off, prices start from 5,269 British pounds per person for 18 nights.

The Spirit of Adventure will also depart Southampton on a 22-night cruise to Croatia and the cities of the Central Mediterranean on Aug. 6, 2022, visiting “classic” destinations such as Venice and Malta, and introducing guests to “more unusual ports of call” such as Zadar on Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast and Ravenna in Italy.

Guests can currently save up to 20 percent on this cruise with prices starting from 7,008 British pounds per person.

Another “unusual ocean cruise” in Saga’s opinion is the Spirit of Discovery’s 17-night Baltic cruise into the Gulf of Bothnia, stopping in ports such as Kemi in Finland, Visby in Sweden and Skagen in Denmark. Guests will see the natural landscape of the Jutland Peninsula, the island-scattered Stockholm Archipelago and Finland’s hinterland.

Excursions include cities such as Gothenburg, Stockholm, Gdansk, Tallinn and Riga with their architecture ranges and UNESCO heritage. The Spirit of Discovery departs Dover on July 31, 2022. Prices currently start from 4,949 British pounds, including up to 25 percent off.

All Saga’s ocean cruises are all-inclusive with a complimentary door-to-door chauffeur service. Saga can also arrange car parking near the port, domestic flights or standard class rail/coach travel. Saga cruises come with all dining and house drinks, including a selection of wines with lunch and dinner, WiFi, onboard gratuities, fitness facilities, 24-hour room service, sightseeing tours in selected ports, entertainment (from lectures to recitals), porterage of luggage, shuttle buses to nearest town centres and travel insurance with up to 5 million British pounds coronavirus cover included.

One Of The Best Natural Health Products

The spine, essential to our ability to walk on two legs, is a complex network of nerves, muscles and joints, tendons, and ligaments. Unfortunately, the complex combinations in the spine can cause damage. To can get more information about the best natural health product license visit

Unfortunately, in today's busy world with lots of work, back pain of varying degrees of intensity is all too common. Sometimes the pain can radiate to the leg and deepen the suffering.

Some of the steps you can take are as follows:

1. Good posture is the most effective deterrent to back problems. When you sit up straight, your spinal cord maintains its true "S" shape and won't tolerate the extra stress we cause from leaning back.

2.Slow and gentle stretching can help relieve back pain. This should be done after consulting a doctor, especially if someone already has natural herbal supplements.

3. When someone is busy at your desk, taking regular short breaks to straighten your body and stretching can help limit your muscles and reduce the risk of pain.

4. Lose weight if you are overweight or obese can help with back problems because losing weight means less stress on the spine. Again, you need to be careful about the types of physical activity you use to lose weight.

5. Quitting smoking has many benefits, one of which is reducing back pain. Studies show that smokers are more prone to experiencing back pain than non-smokers.

Are You Looking To Increase The Number Of Leads From B2b Sales?

A significant announcement is that, the web-based directory of business contact details, it is offering free access to more than one million business records within its database, including details about addresses as well as other information such as dimensions, geographical location, and industry classification.

Access to this business data comes with some restrictions that include the fact that users must sign up and that the information is not resold. For lead generation, for businesses-to-business Databases, direct marketing is a strategy that has been proven to yield results.

It is evident that the chance to have access for free to this huge quantity of company information could make lots of sense. You can also hire the outsourced b2b lead generation services online via web search.

Multi-Channel B2B Lead Generation: 8 Steps to Success

But, as an expert consultant who specializes in sales leads for businesses, you might be surprised to learn that I'm not too enthusiastic about this information giveaway. It's because businesses do not make purchases. The public makes purchases.

In order to be effective in your direct lead generation strategies, it is essential to focus on the business community that actually endorses or purchases the product or service and the people who actually use these products or services.

Making cold calls to companies can be unnecessary and costly. Contacting a company and asking "Can I please speak to the person in charge of this" …" might be an unnecessary waste of time taking up a lot of time.

Inflatable Rental Can Jazz Up Any Child’s Birthday Party

Are you facing the task of finding fun activities for your child’s birthday party? Are you worried that the kids at the party will be bored with simple games? If that’s the case, you should consider renting an inflatable bounce house for your special occasion.

Renting an inflatable playhouse is becoming more and more widely used to spice up a birthday party. These houses are called by many names, such as bounce houses, moonwalks, inflatable castles, and jumping castles. It’s no wonder they are such a hit with many children – they create an atmosphere of a county fair and take the birthday party to the next level.

You can also take inflatables for rent in Montreal – ask for a quote ( which is also known as “ Jeux Gonflables à Louer à Montréal – Demander un devis ” in french language)

rainbow inflatable / gonflables arc en ciel

Inflatable bounce houses now come in many different shapes and forms including popular cartoon character figures, obstacle courses, boxing matches, bungee competitions, and climbing walls. They also come in many different styles of slides and can even include water slides.

Inflatable bounce houses allow children to have very active play in a lot safer environment than playing on the regular trampoline, or just jumping around outside. Today’s bouncy inflatables are built with stringent guidelines to help ensure the safety of children. Obviously, adult supervision is always necessary to make sure that the rules are followed. Inflatable houses will specify how many children can use them at the same time and what the age or height restrictions are.

If you have a birthday party for your child with several children present, you will find that the cost of the inflatable bounce house rental will be well worth the excitement and fun that all the children will have.

Triple-digit temperatures are expected again today, but much cooler temperatures should arrive in time for the weekend as a Pacific trough rolls into the area, the National Weather Service said Wednesday.

The weekend cooling follows monsoonal thunderstorms that briefly drenched some mountain and desert communities Wednesday as soaring temperatures continued to bake the Inland Empire.

A quarter-inch of rain fell in Forest Falls, Johnson Valley and Kelso while a flash-flood warning was issued in Yucca Valley, according to the National Weather Service in San Diego.

In Forest Falls, afternoon rain sent trees, boulders and other debris floating down Valley of the Falls Drive, forcing a temporary closure of the road, the California Highway Patrol reported. No motorists were injured, authorities said.

The road was closed from around 1 p.m. until 6 p.m., the CHP said.

Rohit Sharma can be relieved as captain from T20s: Sehwag

NEW DELHI, June 27: Former India opener Virender Sehwag reckons  that skipper Rohit Sharma could be relieved from captaincy duties in the T20 format which would allow him to manage his workload better.

             Rohit has not been able to feature in all of India’s matches since taking over as captain due to injuries and workload management.

             “If the Indian team management has someone else in mind as captain in the T20 format, then I think, Rohit (Sharma) could be relieved and the following can be taken into consideration going forward,” Sehwag told PTI in an interview.

             “One, that would allow Rohit to manage his workload and mental fatigue, given his age.

             “Two, once someone new is appointed as captain in T20s, it would also allow Rohit to take breaks and rejuvenate himself to lead India in both Tests and ODIs,” he said in an interaction arranged by Sony Sports, the official broadcaster of the India-England series.

            However, Sehwag maintained that if the team management sticks with its current policy of having one captain to lead India across the three formats, then Sharma is still an ideal choice.

             “If the Indian think-tank still wants to pursue with the same policy, which is, to let one man leading India in all the three formats, then I still believe, Rohit Sharma is the best man for it.”

             Sehwag has raised a pertinent point about split captaincy in an era when choc a bloc international schedule puts more focus than ever on injury management and mental fatigue.

             The concept of split captaincy commenced back in 1997 when Australian selectors appointed Steve Waugh as the captain of the then ODI side, and Mark Taylor remained the head of the Test team.

             While Australia did taste considerable success using this route, so in England, when the ECB made Joe Root the Test captain and Eoin Morgan was entrusted with the responsibility of the ODI side.

      However Indian cricketing eco-system is slightly different from Australia or England where multiple power centre across formats work more seamlessly than in sub continent.

             Multiple captains have not been tried in Indian cricket for long periods. India’s World Cup winning skipper Kapil Dev has publicly said that split captaincy can’t work in Indian cricket as it is not part of “our culture”.

            India could have had split captaincy for an extended period when Rohit was made the white-ball captain last year. However, Kohli resigned from Test captaincy soon after, elevating Rohit as the all format skipper.

             Combinations for T20 World Cup

             While a lot of permutation and combination have been at play currently ahead of the T20 World Cup in Australia later this year, the former Indian swashbuckling opener asserted his top three choices among the batters for the tournament would be Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, and KL Rahul.

            Star batter Virat Kohli is India’s designated number three batter at the moment.

            “India has options aplenty when it comes to hard hitters in T20s. However, I would personally vouch for Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, and KL Rahul as the top three batters for the World Cup in Australia,” Sehwag said.             “The right-hand and left-hand combination of Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan, or for that matter, Ishan and KL Rahul could be quite interesting for the World T20,” he added.

            Sehwag, who was known to take many fearsome pacers to the cleaners in his heyday, was all praise for young pacer Umran Malik, and believes, that the 22-year-old should feature in the World Cup alongside the likes of Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah as one of India’s bowling mainstays.

             “If there is one pacer who has thoroughly impressed me, of late, it is none other than Umran Malik. He should definitely be part of India’s plans as one of the key bowlers alongside the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami,” Sehwag stated.

             “This IPL has given us many promising young bowlers, but Umran’s skills and talent will definitely earn him a place in the Indian across all three formats in the long run,” he remarked.  (PTI)

There are chances of technicians getting hurt in the line of service. An employees’ insurance in place can help you in case of an injury or damage. It means if a mishap should happen, you do not have to pay for the expenses, both medical and technical.

The same kind of businesses make unions and associations to protect each other’s rights and help grow in the community. As a consumer, you can benefit from the fact and check out the certifications of a prospective garage door replacement company. These memberships are only awarded after companies fulfill certain criteria and stick to the tenets of the association. International Door Association (IDA) suggests its members follow these protocols:

  • Customer Satisfaction
  • Truth in Selling
  • Responsible Conduct
  • Truth in Advertising
  • Safety Compliance
  • Contracts and Product Services
  • Sealed Bid Procedures
  • Regulatory Compliance

Get Multiple Quotes

There are many customers that jump on the first thing that piques their interest. When you seek a reliable garage door company, so much is at stake that you need to be cautious about drafting a contract without due research and study. Otherwise, you would end hiring a company that would cost you more in the long run.

Price for a service can be a determining factor for some. Ask for quotes from multiple companies before settling on one. This way, you will have an educated estimate of what the service actually costs in the market. You can also verify their claims of excellence by checking how they respond to your calls and how they address your concerns, questions, and queries related to your work.

Fathers raise, shield families amid Atlantic City violence

DONNA WEAVER, The Press of Atlantic City
View Comments
Police Car Closeup

ATLANTIC CITY - Andrew Perry Sr. couldn’t sleep the first night inside his new home on North Pennsylvania Avenue.

There were no gunshots, no screaming, no loud music — sounds his family became accustomed to before moving from Stanley Holmes Village.

“It was just too quiet. I was up at the windows,” Perry, 53, a married father of four, told The Press of Atlantic City (http://bit.ly/2a69vMA ). “My wife kept telling me just go to sleep now. I got used to it. I mean we came from the third Village, where someone got killed in my backyard.”

His 9-year-old daughter, Dru’nyah, remembers the dead man, too.

Urban parenthood comes with the struggles all fathers face, but it’s coupled with the presence of violence and raising families in those settings — and for some, the additional burdens of being a single parent.

Some programs, such as the Scattered Sites townhomes operated by the Atlantic City Housing Authority, helped Perry move to a quieter, more peaceful neighborhood four years ago.

Others, like the Fatherhood Initiative through the Housing Authority, give parents an outlet as they raise families while trying to improve their communities.

“Man, we just gotta step up and raise ‘em, and I want to raise my own,” said George Harrod, 53, father of 4-year-old Najah Jenkins.

In 1960, 73 percent of children were raised in homes with married parents, according to 2014 Pew Research Center analysis. Now, fewer than half are.

Harrod, a retired chef, is now a single dad and has full custody of Najah. He said the toddler keeps him busy. She wriggled on his lap as he fed her dinner.

His oldest daughter, Diamond, is 20, he said.

One of the biggest challenges Harrod faces is raising a toddler at 53. He keeps up with her because he has to raise her right, he said.

“Daddy, Daddy, Daddy,” Najah said as her father looked at her and smiled.

“It has to be a whole lot of people stepping up and helping these kids who need help. A lot of kids don’t have parents out here, and we can’t let them fall off into violence and drugs,” said Harrod, who lives in Stanley Holmes Village.

Perry said he finds camaraderie and support in the Fatherhood Initiative, which brings fathers, mothers and children together to provide coaching and support.

The initiative has about 87 attendees, said LuQuay Zahir, family service coordinator for the Housing Authority.

Bey Amani said fathers in the city don’t get enough recognition when they are part of their children’s lives. And programs like the Fatherhood Initiative make sure that happens, said the father of 8 -year-old Ahsaad Gilliam Bey.

One of the biggest challenges facing parents like Amani and his children is finding opportunities for advancement and resources in the community, he said.

“There are good kids out there. They need their fathers, and we have to step up. I’m always with my kids. We do everything together,” Amani said as his son ate ice cream next to him.

Zahir said this is the fifth year for the Fatherhood Initiative, which is sponsored by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development. Participation in the program is voluntary but encouraged by HUD for housing authorities across the nation.

“We want people to get involved and expand and keep the program moving in the right direction because it’s needed in the community for families,” said Zahir, who regularly attends community events and distributes literature on the program.

Perry, his wife, Teisha, and their four children moved to their home four years ago because he said he wanted a safer place for his children to live.

He said the Housing Authority gave him a chance to build a better life for his family in the city.

Around his old home, drug deals were made on corners and fights and bloodshed were regular occurrences.

Perry’s new backyard is large enough for a grill and for his children to play ball. He plants vegetables and flowers without fear of them being destroyed.

Dru’nyah played with a ball in the sun in the yard as her father tended to his flowers in the small garden on the side of their home.

“I like it here better. Daddy moved us here, and I can sleep now,” she said as she bounced the ball in the grass.

Even now, after moving, Perry can still hear gunshots, but they’re softened by distance.

“My children like to run out, they like to play and we can hear gunshots in the distance, but it’s not right here in our face no more,” he said.

Granite Park in Plano is poppin’ with new dining spots lately, and Hookline is one of our faves. Hookline’s executive chef Aaron Nelson says his menu is more like â€œGulf Coast low country,â€ which covers so much from shrimp and grits and oysters to ceviche and deviled eggs. The restaurant recently added brunch to its Saturday menu, so I stopped by to try it out!

A twist on the traditional deviled eggs, this appetizer comes with cornmeal fried oyster and bacon jam. If you’re a deviled eggs fanatic like me, this one is a MUST have. It will change your life!

I looooove Ceviche, so it’s no surprise I ordered theÂ Hook Ceviche. This seasonal white fish and shrimp comes with cucumber, pico de gallo, citrus juices and housemade tortilla chips (which are totally addicting).

So anything with cheese pretty much has my attention. These Pimento Cheese Fritters are the bomb dot com. The cheese melts in your mouth and has the perfect amount of cheese in every bite. The green tomato jam and the Mississippi Comeback Sauce add a boost in flavors.

Don’t forget to order a one of those Build Your Own Bloody Mary Bar drinks!Â Choice a spirit and top it off with garden veggies and juices. It’s $12 but gets you a lot of bang for your buck. If you rather enjoy a mimosa, you can choose from six juices ($15 for bottomless), or even order a pint of Dos XX in one of the three Micheladas.

Brunch meals

The brunch menu consists of several sweet dishes and more savory ones. If sweets are you thing, something like the Molasses Soaked French Toast or the Pork Belly Beignets is the way to go. Both dishes are truly unique and resemble the chef’s vision for the menu. Where else do you find beignets stuffed with pork belly in North Texas?

Moving on to the savory side of the menu, you’ll find the popular Crab Cake Benedict. Served with an English muffin, poached eggs, BÃ©arnaise sauce andÂ breakfast potatoes, your palate will be satisfied and your belly will be asking for more.

Also on the brunch and all-day menus are the oysters. I’ve been to Hookline several times already and always get the oysters. Choose from the Char-Grilled (below), Tex-a-Feller (filled with a creamy spinach dip,Â cornmeal fried oyster, hollandaise and chives) and the Oyster Shooters (house-infused horseradish & lemon Dripping Springs Vodka, bloody mary cocktail sauce). Fancy, yes? Delicious? Even more yes.

Pictured above are the fresh Char-Grilled Oysters. Topped with garlic-herb butter and parmesan gratin, these oysters are

So stop by Hookline for your next meal, and let us know what you think!

Hookline is located at 5872 TX-121 suite 104, Plano, TX 75024.

text: The biomass of all living organisms consists of approximately 30 out of 92 naturally occurring elements [1, 2]. Nitrogen and carbon are the only two elements that can be directly incorporated into biomass via microbial fixation of gaseous forms; N2, CO2, CO, CH4 and other hydrocarbons can be fixed into biomass. The remaining ∼28 elements required for life must be acquired from chemical species dissolved in water or in some cases can be solubilized from rocks and minerals. Nutrients by definition are essential elements or vitamins required for incorporation into cellular biomass, which distinguishes them from energy sources involved in cellular ATP generation. Nutrients may limit cellular growth due to low abundance and/or bioavailability. Extreme environments often possess unique chemical compositions due to extreme temperature or pH, producing nutrient-limited conditions. In some instances, nutrient limitation increases microbial sensitivity to other extreme conditions; for example, Deinococcus radiodurans exhibits increased radiation sensitivity when grown under nutrient limitation [3].

The city of Chelmsford is located in the county of Essex in the East of England. The British city is about 30 miles away from London and has a population of over 110,000 people. Chelmsford was granted city status from Queen Elizabeth II on the 6th of June 2012.

The first settlement of Chelmsford was recorded during the Neolithic age in the Springfield suburbs. The town was occupied by the Romans and a fort was built in 60 AD. The town was then developed in into a market place of Caesar which was in honour of bearing the Imperial Prefix. After the Romans left, the town disappeared until the 13th century when the settlement was redeveloped as a county town of Essex. Throughout World War II, Chelmsford was an integral point for light engineering for aircraft of the Luftwaffe and by missile. The worst attach on Chelmsford was on the 19th December 1944, when a rocket hit a residential street killing 39 people. The attack was meant for the Hoffman’s ball bearing factory which was key to the war effort. Since the 1980’s, military defence industries declined and hit Chelmsford’s economy badly and the majority of war industries were sold to BAE. The British town is now part of a major redevelopment plan which includes a new bus station, luxury apartments and a shopping centre known as the “Marconi Plaza”.

There are many historical places to visit in Chelmsford which includes the beautiful 18 arch Victorian railway viaduct which was built in 1842. The Chelmsford Cathedral is also a stunning place to visit as it is the second smallest in the United Kingdom. The cathedral is dedicated to St Mary and was built in 1914 becoming the seat of the Bishop of Chelmsford.  The Chelmsford Museum is a very popular place to visit for tourists and the museum has a £5 million extension. The new extension includes exhibits and interactive displays describing the development of the city.

The Anglia Ruskin University is located in Chelmsford which was founded 1551 by Kind Edward VI. The University is focused on the Arts and Technology and was awarded Entrepreneurial University in 2014 during the Times Higher Education Awards. The British University also has a Gallery which contains historic and contemporary art words form students and staff.

1967 Land Rover Series 2a for sale.

Sellers Comments - It would make a great restoration project and would be worth thousands. The engine is currently not running (but im very sure it will run) because it has no distributor cap or HT leads, but otherwise is a very sound engine, gearbox and drive-train. It will require a new chassis as this one is very rusty, and the bulkhead is in similar condition, but could be patched up. All body panels are in good condition with no rust but some dents. The windscreen glass is out but comes with the car along with wheel wrenches etc(as you will see in one of the pictures).

  Good Points:
- Worth a lot when restored
- Great restoration project
- Has had various parts replaced recently
- engine, gearbox and axles all very sound
- no rust on body panels as they are aluminium

  Bad points:
- Needs new chassis and possibly bulkhead
- Haven't managed to get engine running because there are no HT leads etc

'I am a member of the Democratic Party': Sanders signs loyalty pledge for 2020 bid

View Comments

WASHINGTON – Sen. Bernie Sanders signed a pledge, required under new Democratic National Committee rules, that declared he was a Democrat and would serve as one if elected president, according to media reports.

Sanders, an independent from Vermont, is one of more than a dozen candidates who has launched a presidential bid or announced an exploratory committee for a White House run. He signed the pledge, which was given to all 2020 candidates for their signature, on Tuesday, according to a copy obtained by NBC News

"I am a member of the Democratic Party," the document signed by Sanders reads. "I will run a Democrat, accept the nomination of my Party, and I will serve as a Democrat if elected."

The document also states that the DNC has the authority to determine whether a candidate is indeed a "bona fide Democrat," saying the committee would examine the candidate's record, writings and accomplishments.

The new DNC rule is part of a number of changes within the organization.

It was partially enacted as a response to Sanders' 2016 presidential campaign, which he lost to Hillary Clinton. Sanders ran as a Democrat but was a longtime independent and self-described democratic socialist. Some Democrats had worried during the primary fight that Sanders could run as an independent if he lost to Clinton, something Sanders did not do.

There was also question over whether Sanders should qualify for the primaries since he was registered as a Democrat.

Sanders caucuses with Democrats but has consistently run for office as an independent, including on Monday when Sanders filed to run again for his Senate seat in 2024, according to NBC News.

Since the 2016 race, the DNC has also scaled back the role of superdelegates in presidential nominations, which Sanders and his supporters rallied for.

The change came after complaints about party insiders' incredible influence in the primary process. Superdelegates announcing support for Clinton gave her an early advantage in the primary, and their role was a major point of contention for Sanders’ supporters.

Rick's Picks Nabs 2022 sofi™ Award; Rick Field Comments

Rick's Picks Nabs 2022 sofi™ Award; Rick Field Comments

Thursday, June 9th, 2022

The Specialty Food Association’s sofi™ Awards were recently announced, and we at Deli Market News were delighted to see all of the names that made the list. One supplier that stepped into the spotlight was veteran pickled vegetable producer Rick’s Picks, which took home the award for best new product in the pickle category for its Savory Snacking Cauliflower.

Rick Field, Founder and Chief Pickler, Rick's Picks“This item was launched with our Zesty Snacking Carrots in the pickled vegetable category to create a companion Snacking Veggies offshoot to our existing Snacking Pickles. We ventured into cauliflower as we saw a huge boom in consumer interest in the vegetable in both its native form and in different preparations,” said Rick Field, Founder and Chief Pickler. “The Snacking Cauliflower has an arresting flavor profile with a nod to Indian spices that will appeal to a broad range of consumers. The clean ingredient deck places this product in a premium planogram position ideally on the perimeter of the store, serving those who seek out a healthy snacking experience.”

Like all Rick’s Picks Snack Packs, the Snacking Cauliflower offers a variety of merchandising solutions. The pouch is peggable and also gusseted so that it can be displayed on a counter, and comes in an attractive merchandisable tray. The Snacking Cauliflower takes advantage of Rick’s Picks’ innovative foil pouch format with very little brine, and achieves a 24-month shelf-life as well as Non-GMO Verification.

A post shared by Rick's Picks (@rickspicksnyc)

As to the impact of winning a sofi award?

“We have been nominated six times for the sofi Awards in the past and won three times,” Rick told me. “Simply put, a sofi is the industry equivalent of an Oscar. It’s a badge of honor that creates a culture of appreciation.”

On a final note, Rick relayed that Rick’s Picks comes to market with a unique value proposition that extends beyond its product portfolio.

Rick’s Picks took home the sofi™ Award for best new product in the pickle category for its Savory Snacking Cauliflower

“I’m mindful these days of the value of kindness in business relationships,” he said. “My message to the industry would be that this is an important moment in human history for all of us to be very kind to each other, and that is what we aim to do at Rick’s Picks.”

Congratulations to Rick’s Picks on this well-deserved win! You can meet Rick next week in person at the Summer Fancy Food Show, in the New York state aisle, booth #7613.

The contracts of Derby County pair Tom Huddlestone and Chris Martin are due to expire at the end of next month.

Huddlestone's season has been blighted by injuries that have forced the 33-year-old midfielder to miss big chunks of the campaign, but he was a regular starter in Phillip Cocu's team when fit and available.

Martin has made 29 appearances this season, 21 starts and eight as a substitute, and he has scored 10 goals. Two of those goals came in Derby's last game - the 3-0 home victory over Blackburn Rovers on March 8 before the coronavirus outbreak halted the season.

Sign up to our Derby County newsletter here

Should Derby offer the pair new deals?

Here's what fans are saying ...

Mike: If they're both willing to take pay cuts I'd keep them for another season. Tom is a classy passer of the ball and would be a great mentor for the younger players, Chris has proven he can still do the business at this level and gives us another type of striker to use.

George Glover: Honestly not sure. Martin never seems fully happy when not the 'main man', but a good goalscorer. Huddlestone has class and so many attacking moves start through him, but has had an injury-hit 4-5 months.

Ian Ellis: Martin stays if cost suits us, Tom has been eclipsed by Bird, so no benefit of him staying.

Scott Gretton: Keep Martin, let Tom go.

SP Castle: Time to let both go. Apart from making savings from their higher salaries, we need a fresh input of younger players.

Dock dreams

Posted on Mon, 19 Jan 2015 by midcenturyjo

Who needs a house when you can have a boat dock instead? I’m sure the family home is amazing but I’d be happy as their boat house caretaker. Long warm afternoons, the lap of water under the floor boards, thrum of insects, cool drink in hand, feet in the sun, head in the shade. OK peace and quiet cut by the roar of engines and the high pitched squeals of kids having fun… but it would be worth it. Bunny Run Boat Dock by Andersson-Wise Architects from Austin, Texas.

I love how the patterned ceiling lifts the game.

Johanne says:

Add a couple of hammocks and then it would be perfect. Such decadence.

alain says:

Un magnifique lien entre tradition et modernité.
L'ensemble est si chaleureux et le lieu si paisible.
On aimerait y passer quelques jours de vacances …

oregonbird says:

It's the Petite Trianon. I'm going to need a big rubber duck and a wet hunting dog.

Aukse says:

Loving the small details and all the patterns of the interior. Now I'm dreaming of pouring myself some tasty drink and resting on the deck with my feet in the water. Ah…

Pabst Brewing to return to Milwaukee

Associated Press

Milwaukee — Pabst Brewing Co. said Wednesday it is coming home to open a new brewery and restaurant next year on the site of its original Pabst Brewery in Milwaukee.

The Los Angeles-based beer company said it plans to sign a multiyear lease on a building within the former Pabst brewery complex near downtown Milwaukee and expects to open to the public in summer 2016.

Pabst traces its roots to 1844 in Milwaukee, but closed its brewery there nearly 20 years ago. The company’s brands include its flagship Pabst Blue Ribbon as well as Lone Star, Rainier, Ballantine IPA, Schlitz, Old Style, Stroh’s and Old Milwaukee.

The new brewery would make many of Pabst’s pre-Prohibition brands as well as new craft beers inspired by recipes from the company’s archives. The brewery will include a tasting room, beer garden and a restaurant and bar.

“The launch of this brewery in Pabst’s original home represents a long-awaited return to our roots,” current owner and CEO Eugene Kashper said in a statement.

Kashper and his partners bought Pabst in November. The previous owners moved the company’s offices from suburban Chicago to Los Angeles after buying Pabst in 2010.

The former Pabst complex in Milwaukee has been renovated to include the Brew House Inn & Suites, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s School of Public Health, apartments and other developments. The new brewery and tasting room will open in a former church that was later used as a Pabst employee training and conference center, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.

Detroit council weighing strict pot shop rules

Christine Ferretti, and Mark Hicks

Detroit — The city’s first attempt at regulating medical marijuana dispensaries has made it to the council table in strict legislation aimed at quashing Detroit’s proliferation of so-called pot shops.

Limited hours, inspections and a ban on drive-thru windows are among the provisions in the detailed legislation spearheaded by City Councilman James Tate.

The councilman introduced his plan during Tuesday’s formal session. The panel moved the measure for council subcommittee review. But Tate hopes his colleagues will act quickly, as more unregulated stores continue to open their doors.

“What we see right now is mind-numbingly stupid in the city of Detroit with these businesses locating any and everywhere they want to go,” he said.

The local law aims to set strict licensing requirements for dispensary operators as well as amend the city’s zoning code to specify where the facilities can locate.

If approved, the new rules would apply to existing facilities as well as any future marijuana provisioning centers in Detroit.

Tate has said the plan won’t set a cap on the number of facilities permitted. But all current dispensaries — at least 80 by some estimates — will be subject to the licensing process, as well as future shops; there will be no “grandfathering” of facilities.

“These ordinances don’t seek to shut down everyone,” he said. “What it does is seek to make sense of what we have in the city of Detroit, which is a wild wild west that’s going on.”

Some medical marijuana advocates are already praising the city’s effort to set guidelines. Others, including Gregory M. Pawlowski, a representative for Americans for Safe Access Michigan, disagree with some of the terms and argue it’s “unfortunate” that the process hasn’t been inclusive enough.

Pawlowski, a Detroit resident and medical marijuana patient and card holder, says banning drive through access may create hardships for patients with limited mobility.

“We already have pharmacies that have drive-thrus for their prescriptions,” he said. “Why can’t a patient who has a medical marijuana card be able to do the same thing?”

He also raised concern over the zoning requirements, adding the designated areas may be difficult to navigate and too distant from the main residential and business areas.

In contrast, the Michigan Cannabis Development Association issued a statement Tuesday in support of strong and consistent regulations for dispensaries.

“Detroit’s effort to regulate medical marijuana shines a light on the fact that we need consistent, statewide regulations across Michigan that can provide certainty for patients and their caregivers, local businesses, law enforcement and local communities,” said Willie Rochon, secretary of the MCDA, which represents medical marijuana businesses in Metro Detroit and across Michigan. “Michigan needs strong regulations that put a priority on patient safety, product safety and public safety.”

A bill package designed to address dispensaries at the state level is still pending in the Legislature.

Under Detroit’s proposed measure:

■A medical marijuana facility cannot be operated without first obtaining a license for a fee from the city’s Buildings, Safety Engineering and Environmental Department (BSEED) Business License Center. A separate license is needed for each facility location. Only one issued per person.

■Anyone operating as a medical marijuana facility before the ordinance goes into effect must apply for a business license within 30 days of that date or shut down.

■The applicant and all proposed employees must be at least 21, not been convicted of a felony in the last 10 years and never have been convicted of a felony involving illegal drugs or a felony defined as an assaultive crime under state law.

■Operators must allow Detroit police or other authorized city departments to inspect the facility.

■Drive-thru, walk-up or window access is forbidden.

■The facility can’t be open for business between 8 p.m. and 10 a.m. any day.

■Onsite marijuana use is prohibited, and minors aren’t permitted unless they are a registered qualifying patient accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

■A license can be suspended, revoked or denied renewal based on factors including one or more uncorrected ordination violations and “a demonstrated history of excessive complaints for public safety intervention (police, fire and/or EMS) originating from the premises, being three or more calls in any 30-day period.”

■Those found guilty of violations face a misdemeanor punishable by up to a $500 fine and 90 days in jail.

Medical marijuana dispensaries do not exist under current state laws, but the unregulated operations have continued to sprout up in Detroit and other Michigan cities.

In January, a group of community, block club and faith-based groups officially assembled as the Metropolitan Detroit Community Action Coalition to combat the proliferation. The group previously put together recommendations of its own and presented them to city officials.

The issue has been a key area of concern for Tate, who says 21 dispensaries are operating in his nearly 19-square-mile district.

Councilman Gabe Leland on Tuesday questioned whether officials could get a map of how many marijuana dispensaries currently exist in Detroit that’s “based on fact.”

“Right now there is no entity that’s tracking these,” he said. “Moving forward, I would like to work based on fact and get a sense of how many are in the community.”

Tate countered that the lack of clarity on the number of facilities illustrates the critical need for the ordinance.

“We are trying to regulate a business that is unregulated,” he said.

Hunger in America: It’s Time To Take Action

July 4, 2013 Kristance Harlow
Photo by Osman Rana on Unsplash

When you’re chowin’ down on your Grandma’s potato salad remember this fact: 50 million people in America suffer from hunger, that is 1 in 6 people, and 16 million of them are children. Hunger is known as food insecurity, not having “enough money to regularly obtain all the food [families] need” suffering from malnutrition, missing meals because of lack of food, and not knowing where your next meal is coming from. In Vermont, my home state, 19.3% of children go hungry and in Oregon, where I was born, 29.1% of children are food insecure.Independence Day, America’s ultimate patriotic holiday, full of fireworks, barbecues, and chugging flag emblazoned Budweiser. Even the least patriotic amongst us can rally excitement over the long weekend and excuse to party. Even overseas Americans throw parties, two Independence Days went by  when I lived in Great Britain and treated my friends to good ole Amurrrican BBQ chicken and awesome classic rock.

Obesity, Hunger, and Poverty

Philantopic and Feeding America

These numbers are staggering, the USA is the richest country in the world and produces enough food for everyone in the entire world but wastes 40% of its food and 7% of fields that are planted in America are never harvested, and the US is in last place among the IMF’s Advanced Economy Food Insecurity rankings.  It is not for lack of food production that people go hungry. The number one cause of food insecurity is poverty. 85% of food insecure households have at least one working adult, this becomes a problem because people are not earning livable wages. There are families with two parents who are both working and still cannot afford to feed their households.

In America, the cost of nutritious food is exorbitant compared to the cost of junk food. Obesity and hunger go hand in hand, because they are signs of not being able to get the nutrition necessary to live a healthy life. Many people who go hungry are also overweight because fresh fruit and vegetables are much more expensive than Ramen and potato chips. The cost of healthy eating has gone up by 40% since 1980, and 1980 is when the obesity epidemic started and partnered with that the price of junk food declined by as much. Next time you complain about seeing people use food stamps to buy chips instead of apples, think about the price of each. We all have to eat and if you have to choose between a bag of chips that 3 children can share or 1 apple that will leave those 3 children still hungry, what would you do?

The issue is complex with a lot of factors that play into it, much of it is that unhealthy additives are subsidized but healthy food is not. The documentary “A Place at the Table” explains this in more detail. They talk about areas called ‘food deserts’ where people do not have easy access to fresh fruit and vegetables, 23.5% of Americans live in these food deserts, and 75% are in urban areas.

The Greater Implications of Hunger

Kids who go hungry suffer dire health consequences: their growth is stunted; they are more likely to get sick and stay sick and even be hospitalized; they are fatigued on a regular basis; and it affects their health in adulthood increasing obesity and medical issues. Children who are food insecure and under the age of three learn slower than their peers who are properly nourished. Malnourished students struggle with concentration, learning, and general school performance. Undernourished students are also more likely to be suspended than their properly fed friends. Not to mention the emotional consequences that cause more behavioral problems and higher levels of anxiety. Adults who are food insecure suffer from chronic illnesses, are more likely to develop diabetes, and obtain “lower scores on physical and mental health exams” (Feeding America). Adults, like children, will have increased anxiety and aggression..

Charity and Food Programs

Sometimes life throws curveballs and charities serve a very important role, I am passionate about nonprofits and the work that many of them do, but we need a systematic change. When my family’s house burnt down we were saved by the charity of family, friends, and the community. Charity cannot be relied on to solve this problem, as a country we do not rely on charity to fix the potholes in our roads, plow the streets in the winter, or to fund our military.

Half, HALF of all children will be on food assistance sometime in their lives. Yes, 50%! In small towns people are earning less, there are fewer jobs and people are having to move for jobs. Food banks are stereotyped as a place people who are unemployed or disabled, but really a lot of people who are getting assistance are employed and work multiple jobs.

Impoverished Workers and Charity

Without charities many people would go without food. In my last post I wrote about the poultry industry and here is a specific example of charities that exist for show and are part of the problem and not the solution. Tyson has a food program called Hunger Relief under their charity Tyson Cares, that they say helps the hungry. In October 2006 35,000 pounds of meet were donated to Wilkesboro, North Carolina by Hunger Relief. That is a lot of food and on paper sounds like an overwhelming act of charity.

Tyson is one of the major employers in Wilkes County and out of 29 charity services offered by Tyson in 13 towns across North Carolina, Wilkes County has 16 of those services in just 4 towns. Half of the households in Wilkes County make less than $20,000 yearly and a third make under $15,000 annually, this is far below average and most certainly below the poverty line, 78% of people in Wilkes County earn below the threshold as defined by the government’s SNAP (food stamp) program. Tyson’s own website gave much of this information which I originally accessed for a research paper in 2006, and at the time their website described the people of Wilkes County as living “on the edge of hunger because they lack sufficient resources for life’s necessities…the low wages…are not enough to cover the cost of [living]” (Quote from Tyson website accessed 2006). They employ the people, pay them well below a livable wage, and then give charity food donations to those same people. Those kind of charitable endeavors are a marketing ploy to portray their company as one that helps communities.

The solution is complex, and to see what you can do about hunger in your community I recommend watching these two documentaries about this epidemic:

A Place at the Table which is an insightful documentary full of emotional interviews, factual statistics, and really breaks down the problem so it’s understandable.

Hunger Hits Home which is currently FREE on iTunes (go download it!), this is the documentary that inspired this blog post. This documentary showcases heartbreaking stories of families and their struggles with getting enough food to eat that will make you angry at the system which allows cycle to continue.

Both of these documentaries will change how you see hunger in America. It’s an issue of patriotism, of love for your country to do something to end hunger in America.
