brown butter soda bread

When someone suggested that I make soda bread for St. Paddy’s day, I have to admit, I cringed a little. I tried soda bread once, maybe twice, about ten years ago and it was a complete disaster. It was a ten pound, tasteless, brick-like disaster. But, I decided to be brave and try it again, with the help of the experts at Epicurious.

Their recipe for Brown Butter Soda Bread was nothing short of AH-MAZ-ING. Now I see what all the fuss is about!

If you’ve never had soda bread, it’s kind of like a big scone. It uses baking soda and/or powder for leavening instead of yeast, and it isn’t kneaded so it has a crumbly, scone-like texture. Couple that texture with the sweet, nutty flavor of browned butter and oats, and you’ve got one incredible bread! This recipe uses rosemary and black pepper for extra flavor, but I have no doubt that it would be just as good without them.

I made a couple of small changes to meet what I had on hand ingredient wise. First, instead of buttermilk, I substituted regular milk with lemon juice stirred in. This vital because you need the acid to activate the leavening power of the baking soda and powder. Second, I used some whole wheat flour, which I think added to the sweet, nutty, graham-like flavor of the bread. Lastly, I used dried rosemary instead of fresh.

Oh, and I also made one mistake – I baked one big loaf instead of dividing it into two smaller loafs. It still baked up fine, but it would be easier to divide into portions if it were in two smaller loafs.

Total Cost $2.52 recipe / $0.32 serving
Prep Time 25 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 10 minutes
Servings 8

  • 1 3/4 cups milk $0.66
  • 1 3/4 Tbsp lemon juice $0.05
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour $0.56
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour $0.15
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats $0.17
  • 1 Tbsp sugar $0.02
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary (optional) $0.05
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper (optional) $0.02
  • 2 tsp baking powder $0.10
  • 1 tsp baking soda $0.05
  • 1 tsp salt $0.05
  • 1/4 cup 1/2 stick butter $0.40
  • 1 large egg (optional) $0.23

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Stir the lemon juice into the milk and let sit until ready to use.
  2. In a large bowl, combine both flours, the oats, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, rosemary (crushed or chopped), and black pepper. Stir until combined.
  3. Place the butter in a small pot and melt over medium heat. Swirl and cook over medium heat until the butter turns golden brown and smells sweet and nutty. Turn off the heat.
  4. Pour the prepared milk and the browned butter into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until it is thoroughly combined and no dry flour remains on the bottom of the bowl. The dough will be wet and sticky. Turn it out onto a well floured surface and knead only a few times (5-10 turns) until it is a cohesive ball. Do not over knead.

  5. Divide the dough into two pieces and shape each into a ball. Place the balls on a baking sheet covered with foil or parchment. Brush a lightly beaten egg white over the top of each and sprinkle with more black pepper (optional). Cut an “X” into the top of each with a sharp knife, place in the oven, and bake for 45 minutes. Allow to cool before breaking the bread open.

Step By Step Photos

make buttermilk
First preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Make the buttermilk substitute by stirring 1.75 tablespoons of lemon juice into 1.75 cups of milk. Let it sit until you’re ready to add it to the dough.

dry ingredients
Next, combine the dry ingredients in a bowl (flours, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, rosemary, black pepper). Stir until well combined.

melt butter
Begin to melt the butter in a small pot over medium heat. Continually swirl the butter as it melts.

brown butter
Keep swirling and cooking the butter until it turns golden brown and then turn off the heat. This was hard to get a photo of because there was still some foam on top, but the solids that had sunk to the bottom had browned. Another way to tell is that the butter will take on a sweet, nutty aroma.

wet ingredients
Pour the prepared milk mixture and the browned butter into the bowl of dry ingredients.

Stir just until there is no dry flour left on the bottom of the bowl. The dough will be quite wet and sticky.

lightly knead
Turn the wet dough out onto a well floured surface and knead as little as possible (less than ten turns) to form a cohesive ball of dough. Kneading too much will develop the gluten in the flour and leave you with a dense, chewy bread. Divide the dough into two pieces and shape each into a ball.

shape dough
Brush the top of each ball of dough with a beaten egg white and then sprinkle with more black pepper (this is optional). Cut a large “X” into the top of each loaf.

baked soda bread
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the outside is a deep golden brown. Allow the bread to cool and then break each loaf into four portions.

Enjoy with butter and jam! Even though my bread had black pepper and rosemary, I think it would still be excellent with sweet jam. The herbs were not at all over powering.

email to sms

When we say we offer two-way messaging, we mean that SMS message recipients are able to reply directly to your SMS message. Their response be routed to your BulkSMS account and you can have a two-way conversation, just like any normal SMS conversation.

Two-way SMS message replies are local in the following countries:

  • Australia
  • Austria
  • Belgium
  • Denmark
  • Finland
  • France
  • Germany
  • Hong Kong
  • Lesotho
  • Namibia
  • Netherlands
  • Norway
  • Phillipines
  • Republic of Ireland

When SMS replies are local it means that when an SMS recipient replies to the SMS message you sent, the cost incurred by the sender will be that of a standard local SMS message within that country.

Should the SMS recipient be based in another country, you will need to test the various mobile networks to ensure that replies are possible and also determine the cost to reply. Replies may use another country’s mobile network, in which case the cost for the SMS recipient to respond may be higher than that of a standard local SMS message as it will be sent internationally (i.e. across borders).

Repliable messages to countries outside of the above list will normally carry a Sender ID with a number from our United Kingdom reply pool, but there are some exceptions. Notably, replies from Austria and Switzerland will go through the German number reply pool, and replies from New Zealand will go through the Australian number reply pool.

‘Dangerous’ Stowmarket man is convicted of series of rape and kidnap offences

Clive Howard, 56, of Bury Street, Stowmarket, has been convicted of a string of rape and kidnap offences ANL-151003-130555001
Clive Howard, 56, of Bury Street, Stowmarket, has been convicted of a string of rape and kidnap offences ANL-151003-130555001
Have your say

A ‘dangerous’ Suffolk man who preyed on women walking alone at night has been convicted of rape and attemped kidnap offences.

Clive Howard, 56, of Bury Street, Stowmarket, appeared at Norwich Crown Court yesterday after pleading guilty to a series of offences including rape, attempted rape and attempted kidnap in connection with offences in Norwich and Cambridgeshire between 1986 and 2014.

Clive Howard's Volvo ANL-151003-130612001

Clive Howard's Volvo ANL-151003-130612001

Howard admitted attacking a woman in the St Helens Wharf car park in Norwich near to the Adam and Eve pub on May 30 last year.

The court heard the victim, aged in her 20s, was walking home after a night out when she got a lift from a passing car being driven by Howard.

The woman was taken to a car park where she was raped.

Afterwards, the victim tried taking a photograph of the number plate of Howard’s Volvo but he grabbed her phone and threw it into a bush before driving off at speed.

The woman managed to find her phone and contacted a friend before dialling 999.

Police were able to get part of the number plate for the Volvo involved after looking at CCTV and enquiries led officers to Howard who was identified as the registered owner.

He was arrested and charged with the offence a few days later.

As a result of his arrest, Howard’s DNA was put on the national database and enquiries revealed a match to an unsolved case in Cambridgeshire in 2013.

Detectives started investigating this offence and found “striking similarities” to the Norwich case.

Howard’s DNA matched a profile obtained during an investigation into the attempted kidnap of a woman in her 20s on 5 May 2013 in Cambridgeshire.

The woman had managed to fend off her attacker, scratching him in the process, and a DNA was later retrieved from underneath her fingernail.

He was linked to three other attempted kidnappings in Cambridgeshire.

In total Howard was charged with seven counts of rape, three counts of attempted kidnap and one count of attempted rape, relating to offences between 1986 and 2014.

The offences involve five victims who are all adult women.

Detective Sergeant Chris Burgess, who led the investigation, praised the victims for their bravery in coming forward.

He said: “Reliving an experience such as this is never easy for a victim of sexual assault and I recognise the bravery shown by all victims in this case who would have been prepared to give evidence, had the case gone to trial.

“Howard’s guilty plea demonstrates the strong case police had against him and I believe women are safer with this dangerous man off the streets.

“A striking similarity between the cases is that Howard would prey on women walking alone at night. I hope his guilty plea goes someway to helping his victims move forward from this terrible experience.”

DS Burgess added: “Victims of sexual assault can be reassured we investigate offences thoroughly and sensitively, regardless of when it happened, and I would encourage anyone who has been a victim of sexual assault to come forward.”

Howard has been remanded in custody and will appear at Norwich Crown Court for sentencing on Monday April 20.

Norfolk’s Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC), The Harbour Centre, operates a 24-hour service for victims of sexual abuse and can be contacted on 0845 456 4810, or call police on 101 to report a crime.

The SARC opened in September 2010 and aims to empower victims by allowing them to report their abuse and undergo medical examinations without prompting a police investigation.

Aligning Keyword Strategy with Corporate Goals

Image courtesy of jamiesrabbits

It was only around 10:00 a.m. when Shem set the jar full of Twizzler nibs, M&Ms, and pistachios on a chair in the centre of the room. For me, it’s never too early for sweets. So as he explained the next activity, I fixated on acquiring the contents of the jar.

“Take some time to describe what you see. Avoid naming the objects. Just jot down thoughts or words to describe it. Feel free to walk around, pick it up, and examine it.”

I, the queen of long-tail keywords, was going to win this one. I started at the 2,000 foot view. A glass object holding several small objects. A glass vessel containing red, green, brown, orange, and yellow edible objects. A small transparent container housing high-calorie, high-energy foods. My list went on and on like that until I had a list of 20 or so descriptive phrases that I believed captured the essence of this jar without explicitly stating the names of the items.

After about 10 minutes, we regrouped and went around sharing our lists. I expected my teammates to have a similar list of phrases, but instead I heard one-word descriptors such as “tasty,” “crunchy,” “sweet,” and “delicious.” They described events and memories associated with snack food. Someone mentioned their dad. This activity had gone to a weird place for me.

The truth is, I tend to look at the world through this lens all day. The way these snacks might make me feel, memories associated with eating trail mix, the joyful mixture of colours and textures—all that was irrelevant. My descriptions of the jar are very much how I choose to view the world. Just the facts, please. Leave the fluff at the door.

And the winner? There was no competition. Everyone was welcome to take snacks from the jar after the activity was over. But that’s just me. I see a target. Ready, fire, aim.

But the world is not full of people like me. And in order to succeed at my job, I need to take into account the different ways people describe and view simple, everyday objects and events. I learned that, before I make assumptions about a goal, I need to slow down, plan, and execute.

But I’m not the only one guilty of getting sucked into my world view. How many of us have clients who go for highly-competitive head terms without assessing the impact of those keywords on revenue? Who among us isn’t guilty of making assumptions about the way our customers search for our products and services without due diligence? We’re not just missing out on great opportunities for exposure; we’re leaving money on the table. Going after the right keywords with a solid plan takes time and effort, but can lead to increased revenue and opportunities to build customer trust.

Don’t know where to start? Here’s what I learned from the simple exercise of describing objects in a jar:

Don’t Discount Emotions
I never would have associated a jar of snacks with memories, but that is a legitimate way of viewing the same object. When we try to think of the ways our audience views our product or service, we can use the same principle to cast a focused keyword net. Are you only optimising for “wedding centerpieces,” or do you have content that supports “simple centerpieces for wedding receptions”? Instinctively, which keyword sounds more purchase-focused?

A whole resource section could be built around identifying these personae and finding the emotional or personality-based keywords that align with their search behaviour. Become a resource for brides looking for minimalistic weddings. Feature do-it-yourself guides. Become an integral part of the wedding planning process through an opt-in, money saving tip-of-the-day e-mail. Once you understand the emotional characteristics of the persona you’re targeting, you can create more focused content around low-volume, high-converting keywords, and build customer trust.

Clarify Goals from the Start
Interest and inquiries from the C-level can prompt marketers to act and react in illogical ways. When your CEO asks why your company isn’t ranking for “widgets,” don’t go into keyword-stuffing overdrive. Take the opportunity to clarify and align your efforts with overarching corporate goals. The objective may be to promote a specific service segment and increase revenue to the department, not rank for the short-tail descriptor.

Emily has already given us a great resource to help us understand how to fold SEO into your marketing mix. Ensure that your optimization efforts align with other marketing efforts at your organisation to deliver a consistent message and brand presence. When your boss corners you about highly competitive head terms, tie all other aspects of the corporate marketing plan back to your efforts.

Sometimes it takes the simplest of activities to help us identify our weaknesses and assumptions. For me, it was describing snacks in a jar. Or as I’d prefer to say, small edible objects in a transparent vessel.

Apple Earnings: Here's Everything You Need To Know

steve jobs iPhone

Photo: Associated Press

Apple’s first quarter of iPad sales should help it beat the Street. But will “Antennagate” push Q4 guidance lower?Apple reports Q3 earnings today after the bell. Join us for LIVE analysis beginning at 4 p.m. ET by clicking here.

fuelled by the iPad launch at the beginning of the quarter and the iPhone 4 launch at the end of the quarter, and helped by a big quarter of Mac sales, Apple should have no problem beating estimates today.

But as always, Apple’s guidance will be an equally important barometer. The company is known for issuing “comically” conservative forecasts and them beating them silly. Investors are used to this.

But the recent “Antennagate” could potentially cause some trouble. Because some people are having issues with Apple’s iPhone 4 antenna, the company is giving away free cases to all of its iPhone 4 buyers through the end of September, and potentially throughout the iPhone 4’s lifespan.

While that program by itself won’t be too costly, there’s also the possibility that Apple may reduce its internal iPhone shipment estimates based on the controversy. (The iPhone is now Apple’s biggest revenue generator, so that’s potentially a big deal.)

We still think most would-be iPhone 4 buyers will still buy iPhone 4s. But because of the paranoia brought on by “Antennagate,” maybe not everyone will.

It’s possible that super-conservative Apple will use the opportunity to be even more conservative than usual when predicting Q4 revenue, margins, or both. And that might spook investors.

Here are the key stats for today’s earnings presentation:

Q3 Revenue: $14.75 billion Street consensus, $15.74 billion high Street estimate, $13.2 billion guidance
Q3 EPS: $3.11 Street consensus, $3.47 high Street estimate, $3.28 “real” estimate, $2.34 guidance
Q3 iPhone shipments: 8.7 million Street consensus, 9.5 million Munster/Piper estimate, 8.8 million Andy Zaky estimate
Q3 iPad shipments: 3.2 million Munster/Piper estimate, 3.4 million Andy Zaky estimate
Q3 Mac shipments: 3.1 million Street consensus (could be upside because of favourable NPD numbers, which came out last night), 3.36 million Andy Zaky estimate
Q3 iPod shipments: 9.1 million Street consensus
Q4 Revenue guidance: $17.03 Street consensus, $16.1 Munster/Piper expectations
Q4 EPS guidance: $3.82 Street consensus, $3.30 Munster/Piper expectations

Join us here at 4 p.m. ET for LIVE coverage.

How To Always Score Great Deals At The Dollar Store

99 cent store, dollar store

An immediate reaction to a dollar store buy might be, “What a steal!” However, that’s not always the case.Sometimes, the deal is actually less of a bargain than you thought and the poor quality is just not worth the potential cost of your health.

Here are several things you need to consider before buying food items from the dollar store, advises consumer expert Andrea Woroch:

Be observant: Carefully read the ingredients of dollar store items. Most dollar store generic brands lack nutritional value, “so you may pay less, but you receive poor quality too in some instances,” says Woroch. Make sure you also check the expiration dates before buying.

Pick the chain stores: There are independently owned dollar stores and chain stores, but Woroch finds a better selection of perishable items at the chain stores, which also includes the name-brand goods.

Use coupons: Yes, you can save even more at several dollar stores, such as Dollar General, with coupons. Find them online at

Comparison shop: Compare prices between the dollar store and supermarket or superstore to see which one offers the better price. You can often get a better price and quality for a product if you buy in bulk, so you might want to skip the dollar store products. Calculate the items in terms of price per unit to figure out the true value.

There aren’t a lot of food products that are worth buying from the dollar store, but those that may be good deals include canned vegetables, soda, frozen food products, and single-wrapped candy and chocolate, according to Woroch.

Study Finds That AI Adoption in Marketing is Limited by Marketers’ Perceptions; 40% Think They’re Already Using AI

A Third-Party Survey of 150 Marketing Executives Commissioned by Adgorithms, creators of Alberttm, Reveals That Marketers Don’t Understand AI-Driven Marketing But Are Plagued by the Challenges it Addresses

NEW YORK--()--Adgorithms (LSE:ADGO), creators of the world’s first fully autonomous AI marketing platform, Alberttm, today released the findings of new third-party study, “AI: The Next Generation of Marketing,” conducted by independent research firm Forrester Consulting. The company commissioned the study in order to gauge marketers’ perceptions of artificial intelligence, as it relates to marketing, other marketing technologies, and widely-known industry challenges. The research is available for download here.

Among the findings, the study reveals that marketers’ lack of understanding of AI-driven marketing might be influencing the rate of its adoption to date. This lack of understanding is punctuated by the fact that over 40% of participants said they thought they had already adopted AI-driven marketing, reflecting a belief that their targeting capabilities and automation meant that AI was operating behind the scenes.

Still more confusion was revealed by marketers’ varying levels of ability to delineate between targeted campaign efforts and true contextual marketing (relevant, personalized advertising and marketing based on insights gathered from relationships, and historical and situational context with customers). The latter represents tremendous opportunity to deepen and personalize customer relationships, but also represents considerable complexity, which is precisely what stunts marketers’ evolution. It is also what AI-driven marketing automates and simplifies.

“We believe the results of this study confirm many of the trends we’re witnessing in the marketplace, but we were surprised by the root causes of common marketing challenges,” said Amy Inlow, CMO of Albert. “The common denominators driving these challenges were marketers’ willful lack of knowledge about the tools they’re working with and the tools available to them. As a result, they continue to be plagued by technological complexities, unreliable insights, and a lack of control.”

Findings from the study include:

Marketers are disproportionately focused on early stages of the customer life cycle.
When asked what objectives marketers were looking to accomplish with their marketing programs, they were more likely to respond with upper- funnel objectives, such as driving customer acquisition (61% of marketers) or awareness (53% of marketers). Marketers were far less likely to say they focused their marketing efforts on later stages, where context comes even more heavily into play.

Marketers perceive technological and data complexities as inherent to marketing programs aimed at deepening and personalizing customer relationships. The complexities that marketers cited as inevitable to meeting their objectives stemmed from technology and data, and were said to result in the following difficulties and/or inefficiencies: Over-reliance on vendors/agencies for driving marketing strategy (37%); difficulty understanding the relative contribution of marketing channels to conversions (35%); difficulty translating customer insights into actionable marketing outcomes (34%); difficulty collecting, integrating and managing marketing data (32%); and difficulty operating fast enough to keep up with rapid pace of interactions and data collection (32%).

Marketers have low expectations of their current approaches. Eighty-one percent (81%) of participants said they expected efficiency gains of 10% or less using current tools and processes for marketing optimization.

Marketers exhibit varying levels of understanding of AI-driven marketing, but are extremely attracted to the benefits it promises. Ninety-four percent (94%) of participating marketers said a tool that provides continuous, autonomous optimization across channels would be appealing to them, while 91% said a tool that enables their teams to review, analyze, and act upon customer and marketing data in a continuous and real-time fashion would be valuable for their organization. Eighty-eight percent (88%) said that reducing the time spent on preparing reports and analysis, thereby granting more time for strategy and focusing on customer interactions, would be valuable.

Marketers aren’t reluctant to adopting AI-driven marketing because they’re satisfied with their current approach. Only 6% of participants stated they believed their current tools and approaches were working sufficiently well. Otherwise, the reasons they offered for their disinterest in an adopting AI-driven marketing solution included: Their belief that it would cost too much (48%); difficulty finding a vendor that fits their needs (35%); they hadn’t heard or know enough about it (35%); or their assumptions about the difficulty of integrating the technology into their current tools and processes (29%).

This study was conducted between October 2016 and January 2017. Forrester Consulting surveyed 152 organizations across various industries including financial services, retail, CPG, travel, telecommunications and others within the US to evaluate their perceptions around AI-driven marketing.

4 Lessons Hillary Clinton Can Learn From Obama's 2008 Campaign If She Wants To Emulate His Win

In the 2016 presidential elections, Hillary Clinton appears to be looking back at 2008. Clinton is ramping up for her second go-around for the White House, and she's carefully examining what President Obama did that made him so successful in his first win in the hopes she can follow in his footsteps right up to the Oval Office. The lessons Hillary Clinton can learn from Obama's 2008 campaign are actually pretty easy, but if she wants to win, she's going to have to figure out what strategies worked for him and then make them her own.

At this point, she’s courting the same voter base of young people and minorities, assembling a campaign team stacked with Obama alumni, and starting to tip further and further to the left. While Clinton’s instincts about securing the same bases as Obama did in 2008 might be on point, many believe Clinton might not have such an easy time repeating his performance next year. Obama’s tactics may have worked then, but the times have changed and so has the public’s opinion of him. What was fresh and innovative eight years ago, no longer is.

While America has had a good run with Obama, most Americans want a new president and Clinton needs to show she is able to step up to that challenge. However, although Clinton shouldn’t copy Obama, she can still learn from his successes because, after all, Obama’s 2008 win is definitely worth emulating.

1. Choose The Road Not Taken

Mario Tama/Getty Images News/Getty Images

Obama’s wild popularity in 2008 was largely boosted by the fact he was the new kid on the block, an underdog who had to innovate in his campaign to turn national attention into a presidential win. Clinton, after decades in the public eye as a politician, certainly can’t assume that persona. Rather than staffing her team with Obama alumni and creating a campaign video featuring the base he chased, Hillary needs to be thinking more about who she is and what she’s about. After all, she's definitely not the fresh face Obama was, and, moreover, America has already seen that act.

2. Connect With Voters

Ethan Miller/Getty Images News/Getty Images

As The National Journal points out, Obama has not necessarily been a natural in the public eye. He’s steered clear of the mainstream media, and his appearances and statements have been largely stage-managed. While this might have worked for him, it certainly won't work for Hillary. She already appears to be micromanaging media appearances and has limited her time with news outlets. Clinton shouldn’t close herself off — she needs to open herself up. After all, Obama didn’t have to fight against the facade of entitlement and life in a bubble like Clinton does.

3. Assume A Well-Defined Image

Joe Raedle/Getty Images News/Getty Images

Right now, the key points on which Republicans are attacking Clinton is her trustworthiness and her sincerity. In order to win, Clinton needs to take clear stances and assume an unwavering persona. According to The New Yorker, Obama's clear opinions and consistency in character were one of his big strengths against McCain.

4. Stick With A Simple Streamlined Message

Scott Olson/Getty Images News/Getty Images

In 2008, Obama made his platform pretty clear: What America needed was change, namely, from the Bush presidency. The simplicity of Obama’s message, that America needed something other than the status quo in its next leader, was a message that translated well from the primaries to the general election, allowing him to stick with his platform whether he talked to his party base or those outside.

EasyJet Airline CEO Johan Lundgren Will Take a Pay Cut to Match His Woman Predecessor

Ad failed to load

Plenty of people, including yours truly, complain about the vast pay gap between men and women, but not many are able to actually do anything about it. Enter easyJet airline CEO Johan Lundgren, who will reduce his salary to match his female predecessor's. Please excuse me while I mark Monday, Jan. 29, 2018, as the day that this writer's faith in humanity was restored ever so slightly.

According to the BBC, Lundgren started out as CEO of the UK-based budget airline with a salary of £740,000, or about $1,040,000. The previous CEO, Carolyn McCall, left the company in November with a salary of £706,000. Of course, that's still equivalent to just over $1 million in U.S. dollars, so it's not like either chief executive is strapped for cash. The point, though, is that Lundgren began his career at easyJet with a higher salary than McCall had after working in exactly the same position for eight years. Although some were dubious about her appointment in 2010, McCall has been credited for turning the company into a major player in European airlines — yet she still made five percent less than Lundgren. (According to Travel + Leisure magazine, easyJet wouldn't disclose McCall's starting salary from 2010.) If you've been looking for an example of the gender imbalance in salaries across the world, you've found it.

For his part, Lundgren is aware of the pay gap and says the airline is "absolutely committed" to equal pay. To that end, on Monday, less than two months after he began working at easyJet, he announced that the company is he asked the board for a pay cut.

"To show my personal commitment I have asked the board to reduce my pay to match that of Carolyn's when she was at easyJet," he said in a statement. "I also want to affirm my own commitment to address the gender imbalance in our pilot community which drives our overall gender pay gap."

Last spring, the UK government began requiring employers with 250 or more employees to report the difference in compensation for men and women. According to the Financial Times, easyJet has reported the third-largest mean gender pay gap of all the UK employers who have disclosed this information so far. The average man's salary is 52 percent higher than the average woman's at the airline.

Ad failed to load

The company has attributed this to the lack of women in higher-paying positions, particularly pilots. According to easyJet's statement, 94 percent of its pilots are men — something it has pledged to change in the future. "We set a target that 20 [percent] of new pilots should be female by 2020, up from 6 [percent] in 2015," the company explained, adding that more than one third of its female pilots have already been promoted to captains.

It's no secret that the aviation industry tends to be male-dominated, even though women have been involved since the beginning. This is especially true when it comes to the cockpit; depending on where you get your information, women make up between three and six percent of pilots worldwide. The position of pilot is one of the highest-paid not just in the airline industry, but in the entire United States — yet unfortunately, it's seen as a career for men. Instead, women are encouraged to be flight attendants, who are paid far less than pilots. With men making up the vast majority of one of the best-paid positions in aviation, it's no wonder the industry has such a wide pay gap.

Ad failed to load

Unless someone invents a magic wand to fix pay inequality, the solution begins with hiring more women for higher-paid positions like pilots and CEOs... then paying them equally for their work. Let's hope more employers recognize the importance of pay parity and follow Lundgren's suit in the future.

What Is A Camel In Figure Skating? There Are 9 Versions Of The Popular Move

Based on its name, you would think that the "camel" technique in figure skating was inspired by an elegant, gravity-defying camel somewhere twirling in the desert. But this particular spin is most popular given its use in the physically-demanding world of skating. The camel spin, it turns out, has a rich history, different schools of thought when it comes to its name, and nine intense variations.

Technique-wise, the camel spin is probably one of the most famous and well-recognized spins in figure skating history. You've probably seen it, too. In this particular style, the skater raises his or her free leg above hip level, parallel to the ice, while holding their free arm above their hip as they begin to spin.

Historically, there are — as mentioned before — two different ideas about how the name came to be. One school of thought says that the camel spin was first performed by the British skater Cecilia Colledge in 1932. Back then, the spin was highly gendered and viewed as a technique used by women given their physical flexibility. Now, both men and women learn to do it.

The other school of thought, often attributed to the late figure skating coach Gustave Lussi, said that the name originated after an Australian skater Campbell performed the spin. "Campbell" sounds close to "camel" and thus, the name became camel spin. But the disputes continue, so there's no definitive say on who gave the move its very name.

Doug Pensinger/Getty Images Sport/Getty Images

Camel spins can be done by single athletes as well as pairs. In fact, sometimes the spin is done by a group of skaters — usually four or six — in synchronized fashion, creating an incredible vision for the audience.

When it comes to its types, the camel spin has nine different faces. For instance, one of the spins is known as the "flying camel" which starts with a jump by the athlete and then begins a camel spin. Then there's the "layover spin" in which the athlete spins in such a way that their torso is facing upward, not toward the ground. It seems to be one of the more dramatic variations of the camel spin in which the skater almost appears as if they are suspended mid-air.

Another variation is known as the "bent-leg layover." Now imagine the layover spin with a bent knee. That's the bent-leg layover. While it may sound easy, the bent-leg layover is an especially tricky variation as the player risks falling — quite badly — on their back if they lose balance.

In addition to these variations, there's the "catch-foot camel spin." Here the skater's physical flexibility plays a fundamental role in their making (or possibly breaking) the perfect camel spin. In this type, the skater holds their free leg in the air over their back with the help of their free hands.

Apart from those types, there's the doughnut spin. Holding the free leg's foot and bringing it almost to their head, the skater takes on the appearance of — you guessed it — a doughnut. There's also the Grafström spin in which the skater does bent-knee skating with a camel spin. For the Hamill camel, the skater drops their free leg and torso down and begins spinning. It's one of the common variations of the camel.

Illusion is another variation in which the skater attempts to create a stunning spectacle by rhythmically moving up and down at a rapid speed in a camel spin.

The final variation is the forward camel in which requires immense control over one's body and even more command over their speed. In this variation, the skater commences with a camel spin and then takes it to a forward edge while spinning in concentrated circles until they quickly revert to the normal camel spin. Talk about dizzy.

Signing up with Canon's Pixma series of all-in-ones as a follower to in 2015's award-winning MG6650, and as a mid-range substitute to the high-performance MG7750, this ₤ 90 all-in-one possesses the weight from expectation leaning on its own newspaper holders.

Canon Pixma MG6650 testimonial: looks & features
If you've possessed a printer in the Pixma range in the past handful of years, you'll possess a good suggestion from what the Canon PIXMA MG6640 Drivers appears like. Dressed in black matte plastic with a glossy plastic photo copier lid - it is actually additionally readily available in bronze as well as white colored, if that takes your fancy - this is actually as portable as well as desirable as all-in-ones receive.

Canon hasn't already taken considerably in the method from upgrades-- the MG6650 preserves both USB 2 and also 802.11 bgn Wi-Fi links as well as an SD memory card audience on the leading edge-- however our company delight in to see that the 7.5 cm colour screen is actually right now a touchscreen. That's greatly a remodeling on the MG6650 as well as, while this performs sometimes demand an organization prod, it makes it simple to browse the onscreen menus or even change the color printer's several settings.

As ever before, the helpful Pixma Publishing Solutions app brings in easy work of wireless publishing straight from Android or even iOS gadgets-- there is actually no have to fire up a PC to imprint out files stashed on your tablet computer or even smartphone. Meanwhile, the Pixma Cloud Hyperlink app gives cloud publishing and also storage space services, in addition to assistance for Cloud Print, as well as that's likewise feasible to publish pictures directly coming from a Canon Graphic Gateway or even Picasa account.

Canon Pixma MG6650 evaluation: specs & screening
Inside, the MG6650 have not seen any sort of substantial upgrades from the MG6450. There's still the same five-ink printing engine-- the MG6650 still does not have the grey ink container from the MG7750. Consequently, it kips down virtually the same printing speeds to the MG6450, whipping out A4 mono printings at 13.3 ppm as well as A4 colour documents at 9.3 ppm. Imprint premium is identical, too: message is actually sharp, with no stair-stepping or even smudging, and also seasoned, if very slightly grainy colour reproduction.

One location the MG6650 subtly improves upon is picture publishing. Where the MG6450 took 58 secs to publish out a 6 x 4in picture on Canon's Pro Platinum eagle II image newspaper, the MG6650 published the very same photo in 52 secs at first class as well as 38 few seconds at basic quality environments. Our team also observed that colour reproduction and overall picture high quality has additionally boosted, with the MG6650 creating much warmer, extra all-natural colours as well as skin tones. Our experts did notice some crushed afro-americans and also, once more, a little grainy colours, but also for the best part, the MG6650 has the very clear benefit over its own stablemate.

Fortunately proceeds in other places, along with the MG6650 prating off checking and also duplicating tasks at a decent clip. The MG6650 made a sharp, if relatively faded, monochrome copy of our single-page ISO paper in 12 secs; a colour duplicate in 20 secs; as well as a nice, if somewhat grainy duplicate from our 6 x 4in picture in 55 seconds.

The specifications may certainly not have actually changed, yet the 1,200 x 2,400 settlement scanner has actually had a little bit of a botts' dots. Where the MG6450 had 58 seconds to check our 6 x 4in picture at 600dpi, the MG6650 accomplished the project in 35 few seconds.

Operating expenses remain realistic, also. As ever, our team will definitely advise plumping for the XL-size ink storage tanks, since they're simply fractionally even more pricey in comparison to the standard-capacity containers. Based upon Canon's explained XL container capabilities, mono A4 prints cost simply 2.4 p, colour prints set you back 7.7 p and also colour photos a really acceptable 13.5 p. Go with the standard-sized containers, and also you'll wind up spending 3.4 p for a mono printing, 10.5 p for a colour webpage and also 19.8 p for a 6 x 4in image.

Canon Pixma MG6650 customer review: verdict
In every, the Canon Pixma MG6650 carries out only good enough to receive its ancestor's PC Pro A-List crown. It carries out whatever the MG6450 did right, yet does so simply that small amount faster and inexpensively. If you're seeking an efficient as well as economical inkjet for property and home-office use, the Canon Pixma MG6650 possesses our seal of approval.

Canon PIXMA MG6640 Driver Download Free and Printer Reiew - is actually an intelligent looking inkjet multifunction outer (MFP) for basic residence use. This may print, check and produce duplicates, yet certainly not send or even receive faxes, as well as Wi-Fi assistance lets you discuss that conveniently over a residence network. There is actually no USB port for direct printings, but there are SD and Moment Stick memory card ports, plus support for checking to or even publishing coming from cloud solutions like Dropbox. NFC assistance permits you quickly couple a smart phone, but our company're still to become convinced that this is actually so much more compared to a gimmick.

NFC help could assist pair mobile devices along with the laser printer, however it is actually quick and easy if they're currently on the very same cordless network The compact style is appealing, yet certainly not ideal. The newspaper input holder is uncovered, enabling dust to compile. The outcome rack is actually additionally extremely short: you have to stretch a paper rest off the front from the input rack to record web pages which would otherwise overflow. The five different ink containers are actually put in a port disclosed by uplifting the console, but the gain access to is a bit cramped. Even more significantly, there's no physical keying to quit you putting containers in the wrong port. Canon delivers conventional and also XPS vehicle drivers; the latter could deliver speed as well as quality advantages. The user interface coincides

The MG6650 is a sensibly quick laser printer, dispensing our 25-page text exam at a rate of 13.5 pages each minute (ppm). Draught method may spare ink, however at 13.8 ppm it was actually hardly quicker. Colour publishing was actually less excellent, along with the complicated graphics from our exam decreasing to 3.7 ppm - an average outcome. Photo prints weren't specifically swift, either, with each 6x4" indeterminate photograph requiring a little over 2 mins

Placing these grumbles aside, this is an excellent tool. This just sets you back about ₤ 10 more than the excellent PIXMA MG5650, but includes faster print rates, sd card slots, NFC help, and a touchscreen command system. That last addition is actually significant, as the majority of mid-range PIXMAs use awkwardly prepared buttons. This is far better, even though the touchscreen isn't really perfectly reactive - especially when you are actually utilizing it to regulate cloud-based companies.

Arabian “Unicorn” Is No Longer Extinct (VIDEO)

The unicorn lives.

The unicorn in question is the Arabian oryx, an antelope species widely thought to be the real animal behind the legend of the unicorn. Hunted to extinction in the wild — the last wild Arabian oryx was shot dead in 1972 — the Arabian oryx has now made a comeback. Thanks to a captive breeding program, there are now 1000 living in their wild home of the Arabian peninsula.

According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the Arabian oryx has been moved from “endangered” to the less-serious category of “vulnerable” in the latest red list of threatened species. Indeed, it’s the first time a species classified as extinct in the wild has seen such a reversal in its population.

As the Guardian notes, 19 species of frogs, toads and salamanders have been added to the red list, eight of which are critically endangered. Other species are equally threatened:

An estimated 41% of amphibians are at risk of extinction globally, making them one of the most threatened groups of species, with habitat loss, pollution, disease and invasive species all factors in their decline.

Elsewhere, two-thirds of reptiles only found in New Caledonia, in the Pacific, are at risk of extinction in the first assessment of the group of species.

The IUCN stresses that

Biodiversity loss is one of the world’s most pressing crises, with many species declining to critically low levels. Numerous extinctions are taking place unnoticed, and the number of species classified as Critically Endangered (those at most severe risk of becoming extinct) is increasing. Estimations from the IUCN Red List indicate that extinctions are happening at anywhere from 100 to 1,000 times the ‘background’ or natural rate. The causes are many, including habitat destruction, land conversion for agriculture and development, climate change, pollution, illegal wildlife trade, and the spread of invasive species.

More information about the Arabian oryx can be found on this fact sheet (PDF). The video below shows how the Arabian oryx was brought back from extinction.

It doesn't show everything. In 1963, nine oryx from private collections in Oman, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia and from the London Zoo were sent to the Phoenix Zoo because of the similar climate. I remember back then the zoo had just opened in 1962 (a year after I came here) and the keepers had to struggle to figure out how to care for them. They did, though, and now there is a thriving herd at the zoo and many animals have been returned to their countries of origin.

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

What do i do if my audi a4 wont start after shutting down on th frwy it all of a
sudden stop giving power to the engine and started smoking wen n i open the
hood my cadilak converter was boiling red and oil splatter everywhere i just
replaaced the oil cooler hose cuz it was busted wat to do to start the car

1 Answer

if your cat was cooking like that you may need to replace it and the oxygen sensor. If you lost all your oil or a good chunk of it while the engine was in motion it may have worn down a few parts but should be alreight provided you shut it down in time. If the car simply wont start its likely the cat has gotten clogged due to this situation and is not letting air flow threw.
