Gluten Free & Vegan: Small Batch Blueberry Lemon Crumb Bars (No Refined Sugar Added)

Gluten Free, Vegan and no sugar added homemade Blueberry Lemon Crumb Bars, sounds too good to be true? The good news is, it is really true, no kidding! This crumb bar was absolutely delicious and bursting with fresh flavor from Blueberry, lemon and coconut  flavor. The base crust and the toppings were made without butter, only good stuff like almond flour, oat, coconut oil and maple syrup. The Blueberry filling is gluten free and sugar free. It cannot get any better than that, homemade, all natural and simply delicious in every bite.

Vegan Blueberry Lemon Crumb Bar

I was really excited about this Blueberry Crumb Bar and you probably already know why. I’ve made quite a lot of variations for crumb bars which all turned out to be amazing and delicious, and something that I love to make during Summer. Although some of them can be made any time of the year (like my Caramel Apple Crumb Bar) some are best made when the fruits are in season and most of them are during Summer. All my Strawberry, Blueberry, Pineapple and Peach Crumb Bars were made using fresh fruits which is for me always the best way to make it. But this Blueberry Lemon Crumb Bar is far different from my original Blueberry Crumb Bar. Let me tell you why.

Blueberry Bar Gluten Free Vegan

Gluten Free

Crust and Crumble: First of all, it is gluten free (in case you care). I used a combination of Almond flour and gluten free rolled oats are based for the crust and the toppings. If you do not care about being gluten free, you can substitute all-purpose flour and use regular rolled oats. The texture will be slightly different as Almond flour provides a nice nutty taste which all-purpose flour cannot provide. Base made from almond flour makes a more loose crumb than when using all-purpose flour. If you have almond flour anyway, I suggest use it then just use regular oats flour.

Small Sugar Free Batch Blueberry Jam

Refined Sugar FREE

Crust and Crumble: The crust and crumble toppings do not use regular can sugar, instead I used Maple Syrup. You can also substitute it with honey in case you do not care about making this a vegan dessert

Blueberry Filling: My homemade Blueberry Jam was made without no additional sugar . I made it using Maple syrup instead of processed sugar. It is less thick but the consistency was perfect for the crumb bar.

Not that I am trying to convert myself to being Vegan, but the idea of making a crumb bar without using butter or any dairy was something that interest me. When I was first thinking about it, I find it challenging and mind boggling but later on found out a way to do without it.

Crust and Crumble: There is no butter here, not even a Vegan butter. Instead of butter, I used coconut oil and maple syrup to bind the ingredients together. The crust and crumble were more loose and light as compared to when using a butter to make the crust. This makes sense, because coconut oil and maple syrup do not harden as much as butter, but do not worry. The crust and crumble toppings were absolutely delicious! It was so tasty and with a very intense lemon and coconut flavor, I cannot even believe how good it turned out. This is definitely a way to go.

How is this different from a regular crumb bar

If you do not know that this is gluten free and vegan, you might not be able to tell. The major difference that you would notice is that the base crust and crumb toppings are slightly loose and not as compact as regular crumb bar. It also have a softer crumb. This is why I highly recommend to let this cool completely (in the refrigerator) before slicing. I often make this a day ahead and keep it chilled in the refrigerator. This gives the best texture, and the base is more stable. A softer crumb and base is expected since there is no butter in the recipe, even vegan butter replacement. This uses coconut oil to bind the ingredients, which do not harden and solidify as when butter is used. Also, another factor is the use almond flour as compared to all-purpose flour. Almond flour is more loose and grainy by nature. But even with all this, I am telling you, in terms of taste this is not far behind regular crumb bar. I might be biased, but I even prefer this than regular crumb bar, specially because I am all in for anything with almond. It made this crumb bar taste creamy even without the butter, plus I adore almond flavor always.

How to make Gluten free, vegan and sugar free Blueberry Lemon Crumb Bar

There’s two parts in making this crumb bar, but they are both very simple. That is making the Blueberry filling (because I do not like using store-bought jam) and making the crust and crumble toppings. I always make this two ahead of time because both require cooling for better texture. The Blueberry jam is a 15 minutes cooking, but I like to leave it in the refrigerator overnight to give it a lot of time to solidify. The crust and crumble toppings are as easy as making the jam. It is basically just mixing everything together, it is even easier than when I use butter because I do not have to crumble the butter into small pieces. It comes together and clump together so easily by just mixing it with a spatula. I find that the texture is better when it is chilled, so I make this ahead of time too.  More than half (1 1/4 cup) of the mixture goes into the pan lined with parchment paper. Then I leave it in the refrigerator to chill just the same as the Blueberry jam. The following day or even maybe 3 days after, I’ll pre-bake the crust for 15 minutes to make it more stable then I’ll add the Blueberry filling and fresh Blueberry and the crumble toppings. All this can be done in the same day, but make sure to cool the Blueberry jam completely before adding to avoid the crust from being soggy. The same thing goes for the crust and crumble topping, have it chilled.

Blueberry Bar

Filling Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup Homemade or Store-Bought Blueberry Jam

Crust Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Almond Flour
  • 1 cup Oats Flour (make your own by processing rolled oats in a food processor until fine in texture)
  • 4 tbsp Maple Syrup
  • 4 tbsp Coconut Oil
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 cup chopped Pecans or Sliced Almonds or combination of both
  • Zest of 1 large Lemon
  • 1/2 cup fresh Blueberry
  • 1/3 cup Blueberry Jam

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray with oil and line a 5-inch or  8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Make sure to leave some overhang for easy removal. Set aside.
  2. Make the Blueberry Filling (No refined Sugar added) – Get the FULL RECIPE HERE
  3. Make the Crust – In a large mixing bowl, mix together the Almond flour, rolled oats, maple syrup, coconut oil and salt. Divide the mixture into 2, one portion is 1 1 /4 cup for the base crust and 3/4 cup for the crumble toppings.
  4. Make the Crumble – to the 3/4 cup remaining, add chopped nuts. Mix and keep in the refrigerator at least 15 minutes or can be left overnight in the refrigerator.
  5. Chill the Crust and Crumble: Transfer the 1 1 /4 cup to the prepared pan and flatten the surface using your fingers of back of a spoon. Chill in the refrigerator at least 15 minutes or can be left overnight in the refrigerator.
  6. Pre-bake the Crust – Take out the chilled crust from the refrigerator. Pre-bake the dough crust at 350°F for about 15 minutes or until the top is set and the edges are lightly golden brown. Take out from the oven and add the filling and toppings.
  7. Add the Filling & Toppings – Pour the Blueberry filling mixture over the pre-baked dough pressed into the pan. Add fresh Blueberry on top and more Blueberry jam (optional).  Remove the remaining 3/4 of the dough crust from the refrigerator and sprinkle on top of blueberry filling. Return to the oven and bake at 350°F for 20 minutes or until lightly golden brown on the top.
  8. Cool – Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool. Let cool completely before slicing. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes to 1 hour. This gets even better when left overnight or after few days in the refrigerator.
  9. Storage – Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

  1. This looks like such a fantastic recipe! (Also I just want to give you a heads up, because I plan to include this in my next vegan recipe feature post—the “vegan” section mentions you use maple syrup for the crust, but the ingredients list honey which isn’t vegan. Sorry if this is annoying, just wanted to let you know!)
    Again, they look incredible and I can’t wait to try making them 🙂

Actually they're hazel...

But that doesn't rhyme does it?

Yesterday was my birthday...

I turned 52...

Don't get me wrong, it really is just a number to me. I'm not bummed out, freaked out or burned out.

Really I am mostly amazed. How did I get to be 52?

My daughter~in~law asked me how it felt to be 52...

Well, pretty much like it felt to be 51 the day before...

I'm not getting older...

So happy to announce that my GARDEN COTTAGE has been featured in STORAGE SOLUTIONS magazine!

Page 141, upper right corner. There it is, my little cottage! It even got a "best case" tag! I picked my copy up at Home Depot and was surprised that it has alot of good articles and suggestions in it.

Who would think all those years ago when it was built that magazines would find it worthy?

Pinchin' myself again.

Tuesday, June 14, 2011

Do you live with what you love?

Do you use the "good" dishes or store them away for special occasions only?

Do you save your best outfit for certain functions or do you wear it every chance you get?

Do you live in fear of breaking a treasure or getting a spot on your favorite clothing?

Do you have so much stuff stored away that you've forgotten what you even own?

We all do it. We keep our treasures safely tucked away, rarely using them for fear that we will do them harm. Why live that way I ask? If you love something enough to buy it then you deserve to use it every day. I'm foraging through every nook and cranny here in the land of PEA and if I don't love it anymore or don't plan to use it, then away it goes.

If I do love it, then into the light it comes. To be used. If it gets broken or made unfit in any way then oh well. There's more where it came from. I'm gonna live with my stuff. Fortunately for me, and for many of you as well, I like my stuff old and with character so what's another chip or flaw going to hurt?

I have a fabulous collection of antique FRENCH monogrammed sheets. Heavy nubby linen that feels glorious next to my skin. They make a fabulous top sheet for my bed and that's exactly where they will be from this point on. I can rotate a different one from time to time to limit the wear, but any wear that comes will only add to the charm. It's a true indulgence that I am giving to myself. Give the bed a light spray of linen water in lavender scent and it's a delicious way to drift off to dreamland.

So I encourage you to spoil yourself a little. Bring your treasures into the light and live with them everyday.

You deserve it...

So last Friday I witnessed the final chapter of the story of this nest, built in an old rusty sconce alongside the front door to my garden cottage.
 I had taken my granddaughter out to see the baby dove again.

 All of a sudden, the baby took flight right off the nest and over the fence, followed immediately by the mother dove. I hope with all my heart that it is safe and exploring it's new world.

 It was so fabulous to see this come full circle. A gift I've been given for sure.

As it seems the mother dove intends to use it over and over, the nest will remain right there.

Coconutty Oat Mylk

Oat Mylk

I created this recipe after making almond mylk dozens of times and always getting frustrated at how expensive almonds are to buy. So I read about oat mylk which is much cheaper to make and takes less soaking time…perfect! To add extra flavour I use coconut, I think it makes what could otherwise be a pretty tasteless drink much yummier! The thickness of the milk is totally personal preference so just add more or less water to the blender depending on what you like. This mylk makes the most delicious smoothies!

1 cup rolled oats
2 cups water
1/2 cup coconut flakes

…thats it!

What to do…

Sat the rolled oats in twice the volume of water and leave for a minimum of 4 hours. They do not need to soak as long as nut milk does.
Once soaked add the mixture to your blender with the coconut flakes and 1 more cup of water. Blend until smooth. This mixture has a bit of a gloopy consistency but don’t worry. Depending on how thick you like your milk you may want to add an additional cup of water at this point.
Drain the mixture through a muslin or a nut bag if you have one, squeezing out all the liquid (you can miss this step if you don’t mind a thicker consistency).
Store your milk in an airtight container, it last in the fridge for about a week.

ETF Investment Update November 2019

ETF Investment Update – November 2019

This is my second-last monthly update on my ETF investments where I tack my own investments and discuss my strategy. If you’re new to this series then you can start with these ones for some background.

What are ETF’s?

My first ETF investment

ETF Investment update – October 2019

Current investment

EasyEquities November 2019 balance

Up to the end of November I’ve invested R16,700 and the current value of the investment is R17,257.92 – thus a R557.92 growth.

I have had some questions about why my investment value is so low, and the answer is simple…

I have other investments but this is my first self-managed ETF investment where I’m employing a passive investment strategy. I only really learned about this quite late in life,  and started this last year around this time.

Take a look at where (and why) I started in my post on my first ETF investment.

Looking at the investments I have made and calculating daily compounded interest, my ETF investments have earned me around 8.5% per year.

Have a look at the details.

EasyEquities November 2019 update
EasyEquities November 2019 update

Investment strategy

This has remained constant over the past few months. Initially I changed and swopped ETF’s but I’m currently quite happy with this allocation.

EasyEquities November 2019 ETF Portfolio
EasyEquities November 2019 ETF Portfolio
  • 25% Local Equities – CoreShares Sci-Beta (Smart Beta)
  • 15% Local Equities – Satrix Top 40
  • 10% Local Property – Satrix Property ETF
  • 39% Offshore Equities – Satrix Worldwide
  • 10% Offshore Property – Sygnia Global Property ETF
  • 1% DCX – Crypto

This is a split 50% local, 49% offshore and 1% crypto.

To close

These monthly updates are getting a little boring as ETF investing is really for the long term and month-to-month changes don’t mean too much. I do however enjoy tracking my money and I’ll keep doing this for myself for some time to come.

Please share your own investment strategy and thoughts on ETF investments.

Comparing productivity of node.js frameworks

Our mission is to compare the node.js frameworks on productivity.

In one of my previous blogs I have benchmark the various node.js frameworks performance against native http call and native mongodb driver and native combination was clear winner in term of performance.

so, Why not use only native http and native mongodb driver. well one of the the key aspect and usp of node.js frameworks is that they provide lot of abstractions and as a developer you don’t have to write boiler plate , repetitive code . so lets see what our research has come up with against this concept.

Top Mistakes while taking charge of an Existing Team

If you’ve constantly worked in bootstrap or greenfield projects, you develop an intuition for partnering with the customer and assembling a sharp team that will build out the product. Bootstrap projects come with their own challenges but everyone is new on the team and goes through the team journey together. However, entering an existing long-standing team as the Development Manager is a different ball game altogether. Like a movie director, every manager has his or her way of leading a team. That is great, but there are a few things that put you on the wrong side of the road. Here are the nominees, for top performances on the wrong side, in no particular order. Continue reading

Creating daily status updates email from JIRA

My client has always preferred reading an email at the start of his day that summarizes all the work his dev team was up to the night before. We call it the status mail. It usually contains the list of tasks we have worked on, containing its full description along with our comments/status on that day. Such reports are favorites among clients who are non-technical or who cannot afford to spend time in JIRA, as they get all updates in one go. But, of course, this is beneficial only for a team size of 5-20 members. Any more than that, the mail itself becomes too long to read. Continue reading

Day 7 – The Road To Enlightenment – Walking The Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage – Hayatama-Taisha and Nachi-Taisha Grand Shrines, and Seiganto-ji, Temple #1, Wakayama, Japan

Day 7 – The Road To Enlightenment – Walking The Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage – Hayatama-Taisha and Nachi-Taisha Grand Shrines, and Seiganto-ji, Temple #1, Wakayama, Japan

The guesthouse at which we stayed last night had a wall system that required us to deposit a ¥100 coin for every two hours of heating our room.
The night was cold, and we deposited enough coins to make sure to heat the room until morning.
The hallways on our nightly walks to the communal toilets were not heated, and were very cold.

But it was the only place to stay in Koguchi, which is midway to the Nachi-Taisha Grand Shrine.
We had met two other Japanese pilgrims last night at dinner, and saw in the hallway two others, plus the gay men couple we met on the trail, and the university student from the UK we met last night.

In the high season and not during coronavirus times, the place is filled beyond capacity, with people camping outside on the lawns.
We saw photos of hikers lined up like little ants, climbing the path to Nachi-San.

We decided to take the bus to Nachi-San, instead of walking the 14 kilometers of very hard, steep climbing up rocky and uneven stone steps.
My legs were tired after two weeks of walking, and I need to stay in good shape, in order to continue walking our Saigoku Kannon pilgrimage.
Besides, the stress of reading the sad global news is getting to both of us, and our nightly sleeps have not been so restful.

The bus took us to Shingu town, where we visited the Hayatama-Taisha, the third important Kumano Shrine.
We had planned to visit it tomorrow by bus anyway, because it is not on the Saigoku pilgrimage path.

When we got ready to get off the bus, the bus driver leafed through his bag and gave us a city map and the bus schedule for us to continue to Nachisan.
While he did all this, the other passengers waited patiently.
Nobody was rushing him, and he took his time to explained to me where to pick up the bus and how to walk to get to the shrine.

When we got off, I bowed and apologized to the passengers who were waiting so patiently.
They were very graceful, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, to be kind and helpful towards visitors.
Oh, how I wish the rest of the world will be as kind…

The Hayatama-Taisha is located at the spot where the Kumano River merges with the Pacific Ocean, in the town of Shingū.
It is a beautiful shrine, boldly painted in vermillion colors.

The Kumano Hayatama-Taisha has existed since ancient times.
The description of the shrine describes the origin of the Kumano Shinto religion:

“When exactly did our ancestors sense the existence of God?
The ancient people, who were living in the wilderness, had no guarantee of the continuity of life.
They lived unimaginably harsh lives.
Nature gives us unbelievable wonder, beauty and excitement, but also sufferings, hope and grace.

Nature can be violent and destroy human life and itself, but on the other hand, it is a spring of life that brings the blessings of warm light and fertility.

Human beings have always feared noble and holy things.
In Japanese ancestry, our ancestors did not worship a god of absolute perfection that transcended nature.

Instead, they wanted a fair and warm god, that exists in the great nature, the sun, the moon, the stars, the trees, the wind, the fire and the earth.

There are many sacred places that were created by nature in the Kumano, and the Shinto gods of the Kumano Sanzan descended on these special places.

Shinto and Buddhism merged here as soon as Buddhism was introduced in the sixth century, and the “Kumano Gongen religion” spread throughout the country.

“Gongen” means that God turns into a Buddha (provisional) in authority (provisional) and appears to save sentient beings.

It is believed that all beings, regardless of being strong or weak, regardless of their status, or if their nature is good or evil, or if they believe or disbelieve, they are all revered as gods, who have the Buddha nature, who are awaiting their salvation and enlightenment.
There are no separations between the God and us.

The Kumano Kodo path is usually taken by those who continue their hardships, in search of enlightenment and salvation.

It is said that everyone who finally arrives at the shrines of the Kumano had known hardships by crossing the steep mountain roads, and had cried tears of pain.

Our ancestors who served the gods of Kumano had warmly welcomed pilgrims to the worship hall, even if the pilgrims were wet with rain.

This hospitality is called the “Itsudo of Wet Straw Kutsu” and has become a moral code of Kumano Hayatama-Taisha.

The pilgrimage will refresh your mind, with beautiful emotional tears that will restore your original form.

The Kumano will restore your power to live again.
The journey is life-threatening.
It is a difficult trial, but you will regain the innocent heart that you had when you were born.

What lay at the end of the pilgrimage’s penance, is the blessing of courage and determination to start a new life without hesitation.

The real intention is that Kumano Hayatama-Taisha is said to be “the land of rebirth,” which is exactly here where you stand.”

The Hayatama-Taisha has an ancient tree that is said to be over 800 years old, and is considered a sacred site.
There is also a museum here with dozens of national treasures and offerings brought by pilgrims from all around the world.

From there, we visited Nachi-San Mountain.
Our guesthouse is located halfway up the mountain.
Above it, up a steep set of stone stairs, was a beautiful complex of temples and shrines, with blooming cherry trees surrounded by a primeval forest of ancient trees.

First we walked around and visited the beautiful Nachi Shrine, painted in Vermillion colors, along with a three story pagoda, overlooking the beautiful Nachi Falls.

The Nachi Water Falls are 133 meters high, 13 meters wide, with a water flow of one ton per second.
This is actually the highest waterfall in Japan, and it is an object of worship in the Kumano-Nachi Grand Shrine.

A Fire Festival that takes place here on the 14th of July every year is considered to be one of the three biggest fire festivals in Japan.
There are also biannual festivals, around July and December each year, in which the rope tied above the waterfalls is replaced.

The main deity in the shrine is Izanami no Mikoto (The Kumano Fusumi God), who is a deity of unity.

Adjacent to the Shrine is our first temple on the Saigoku Kannon pilgrimage, the Seiganto-ji Temple.

The Seiganto-ji Temple was burnt and reconstructed a few times.
The present main building was re-built in the year 1590, by Hideyoshi Toyotomi, one of the most famous samurai generals in Japan.

The temple is the first temple of the pilgrimage to 33 temples housing Kannons of Compassion.
The pilgrimage was made famous by the retired emperor Kazan, who in the 10th century, walked the entire route and composed poems at each temple.
The Saigoku Kannon pilgrimage became popular among commoners during the Edo period (1603-1868).

It is said that this temple was founded by an Indian monk, called Ragyo Shonin, in the 4th century.

Some ascetic monks lived here in isolation, and practiced mountain asceticism for a thousand days, in order to gain spiritual and supernatural power.

Part of the practices they did included sitting in the freezing cold waters of waterfalls, while making incantations.
The Goddess of compassion, Kannon, appeared before Shonin, and when she disappeared at the base of the falls, Shonin found a 25cm-tall Kannon image.

He enshrined it in a thatched hut next to the waterfalls, and later it was moved a bit farther to what is now the location of the temple.
Later when a larger Kannon was established as the main deity of the temple, they enclosed the small Kannon statue that Shonin had found, inside it.

After we finished our prayers and chanting at the Temple, we sat at an outdoor table next to the Pagoda, which directly overlooks the waterfalls.
We had our packed lunch in the warm, bright sun.
A couple of hikers from Holland sat next to us and had their own packed lunch.

Then we walked into the village, settling into a café across the street from our guesthouse.
After we ordered Mehari Sushi Rice balls, they were kind enough to give us a big pot of hot tea, which we sat and drank.
I was smiling encouragingly at the old grandmother, who was sitting by a heater, coughing and cleaning her nose repeatedly.
It is so sad to grow old like that….
Even if you are surrounded by loved ones and are not living on welfare, life without awareness of your inherited spiritual powers is a sad life….

Reading in the news about the coronavirus lockdowns and shutdowns around the world, I decided to buy a pilgrim’s jacket to wear as we walk.
When we walked the famous Kumano Kodo, everyone knew we were pilgrims.
But nobody walks the Saigoku.
It encompasses a great distance and it is not walked anymore, unlike the Shikoku 88 temple pilgrimage, which is well known all over Japan.

I thought that it is best that when people see us walking, they would know that we are not just tourists but spiritual pilgrims, who bring light and blessings wherever they go, in an attempt to light up the world and spread spiritual illumination and blessings from eternity.

The old grandmother and her elderly daughter helped me try on the white pilgrimage jacket.

We were given a nice large tatami mat room at the guesthouse and were allowed to take a hot bath together, since there were no other guests.

Dinner was a lovely vegetarian Kaiseki meal, but we ate too much food and we drank a glass of plum wine, which made me a bit drunk.
I drifted off to sleep the minute my head rested on the rice pillow.

With blessings of light,

Daily stats:
Steps walked – 9,171
7 km. walked
Active walking time – 2 hours
Total walking time today – 5 hours.
Total walking distance on the Saigoku to date – 123 km

Awakening Dreaming Beauties: Language Reclamation and Social Wellbeing

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Dr Oliver Mayeux.

Abstract: This lecture will explain why language revival and diversity are (1) right, (2) beautiful, and (3) beneficial. In our globalized world, more and more groups are losing their heritage. Language reclamation (e.g. Hebrew, Barngarla), revitalization (e.g. Te Reo Māori) and reinvigoration (e.g. Welsh) are becoming increasingly relevant as more and more people seek to reconnect with their ancestors, recover their cultural autonomy, empower their spiritual and intellectual sovereignty, and improve their wellbeing and mental health. There is an urgent need to offer comparative insights, for example from the Hebrew revival, which is so far the most successful known linguistic reclamation.

Given capricious governmental policies, this lecture will propose compensation (for linguistic activities) for peoples whose mother tongue was killed (due to linguicide), making Indigenous tongues the official languages of their region, and erecting multi-lingual official signs, changing the lanGscape (linguistic landscape).

The lecture will introduce Revivalistics, a new trans-disciplinary field of enquiry, and provide examples from all over the globe, e.g. from the reclamation of the Barngarla Aboriginal language in South Australia.

About the speaker: Professor Ghil‘ad Zuckermann (DPhil Oxford; PhD Cambridge, incorporated; MA Tel Aviv, summa cum laude) is Chair of Linguistics and Endangered Languages at the University of Adelaide. He is the author of the seminal bestseller Israelit Safa Yafa (Israeli – A Beautiful Language; Am Oved, 2008), Language Contact and Lexical Enrichment in Israeli Hebrew (Palgrave Macmillan, 2003), three chapters of the Israeli Tingo (Keren, 2011), Engaging – A Guide to Interacting Respectfully and Reciprocally with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People, and their Arts Practices and Intellectual Property (2015) and the first online Dictionary of the Barngarla Aboriginal Language (2016). He is the editor of Burning Issues in Afro-Asiatic Linguistics (2012), Jewish Language Contact (2014), a special issue of the International Journal of the Sociology of Language, and the co-editor of Endangered Words, Signs of Revival (2014). He is the founder of Revivalistics, a new trans-disciplinary field of enquiry surrounding language reclamation, revitalization and reinvigoration. He has launched, with the Barngarla Aboriginal communities of Eyre Peninsula, South Australia, the reclamation of the Barngarla language. Professor Zuckermann is elected member of the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) and the Foundation for Endangered Languages (FEL). He is a chief investigator in a large research project assessing language revival and mental health, funded by Australia’s National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC). He was President of AustraLex in 2013-2015, Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Fellow in 2007–2011, and Gulbenkian Research Fellow at Churchill College Cambridge in 2000-2004.

The Situation About the Devices Sector

Some sub-industries this kind of as container, bearings and valves, electrical and basic instrumentation industries need to be careful about the industry conditions. It is predicted that the earlier mentioned described industries may possibly get to the large point of the economic climate, but it will be decreased to some extent. Even so, some sub-industries which have bigger scale like the development machinery diminished at the early time, but they may have a particular degree of restoration in the future simply because of the smaller foundation. And the fee of a lot of other industries such as the rail transportation equipments and shipbuilding industry will keep on to rise.

In the next half of this yr, owing to the affect of the slowdown of the investments in fastened assets, the development of machinery business will arrive down considerably. At the very same time, the sub-industries will be potential divided.

Among all the various industries, the container industry, bearing market, valve market, motors, and boiler-creating industry keep the high stage in the 1st 50 percent of the year, and the cumulative total profit growth fee is maintained at more than forty%. But several industries this kind of as the special instrumentation, digital measurement, measuring equipment, and engineering equipment appeared a drop in revenue revenue. Meanwhile, revenue of these industries lowered drastically. Nevertheless, number of machinery industries like the rail transportation equipments and the ship production market produced extremely well when in comparison to others.

In industrial gearbox manufacturers , several components such as bearings, valves, basic parts are the upstream sectors as to the most machinery. The slowdown of the macroeconomic and the investments in the fastened asset will firstly direct to the slowdown of requirements for huge machinery and equipments. Then it will additional have an effect on the ingredient market. Generally speaking, the alter of the basic components lags driving the adjustments in equipment and products.

It is anticipated that people industries which have a quick drop this kind of as the special equipments manufacturing sector, the instrumentation manufacturing sector and transportation gear producing market will stabilize in the next fifty percent of this 12 months. And simply because of hysteresis consequences, the drop price of ordinary machinery manufacturing industries (like boilers, metal processing equipment, standard equipments, bearings, valves, and other general components) will increase in the 2nd 50 percent of this 12 months which will exceed the common degree of industry.

45 ways to avoid using the word ‘very’

Substitute ‘damn’ every time you’re inclined to write ‘very;’ your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be. ~Mark Twain
‘Very’ is the most useless word in the English language and can always come out. More than useless, it is treacherous because it invariably weakens what it is intended to strengthen. ~Florence King
So avoid using the word ‘very’ because it’s lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don’t use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boys – to woo women – and, in that endeavor, laziness will not do. It also won’t do in your essays. ~N.H. Kleinbau

Quick Look at the Google Pixel and Pixel XL

Google officially unveiled the two devices the Google Pixel and Pixel XL. These are the first phones made by Google. From the past we’ve known Google for partnering with different manufactures like HTC, Samsung, LG, Huawei but from the looks of it, the Search Giant that has heavily invested in Artificial Intelligence is now making it’s way into hardware.
One thing to clarify though that Google doesn’t mention is that these two devices actually made by HTC. And just like Apple designs the iPhone in California and it’s made in China, Google is designing these phones and using HTC to make them. You will however find no HTC branding on these phone like the previous HTC Nexus phones for Google. All that is available is a letter ‘G’ at the back of the phones to clearly indicate these are phones from Google.
Looking more into design and outward appearance of these phones, we do notice they are mostly covered in an aluminum construction and a little glass at the back covering the camera modules and fingerprint sensor. The design it self doesn’t really come out as outstanding and most people have come to point out that it looks a little like the new iPhones.
The phones come in three colors, Quite Black, Very Silver and the limited edition Really Blue (That’s exactly how she called the colors. Watch the event)
Talking about the Operating System and the software over all, these phones do run the latest Android version 7.1 Nougat and updates expected within the following weeks. To make updating these phones easier, these phones will automatically download an update in the background and only update the phone next time and phone is restarted and as the phone boots up the user is already into an updated version of the Operating System.
More to that, Google Assistant, that bot within Google Allo is now built into the phone software as a phone assistant, “Your Personal Assistant”. Essentially this is bring human-like interaction between user and phone and like Google Now, the Assistant is summoned  by using the key phrase “Okay Google” or by simply holding down the home button. Assistant will then launch and like Siri for the iPhone, it will offer assistance using voice recognition and will also take voice command.
Google Pixel devices will also come with Google Duo pre-installed. Duo is Google’s own voice chat app reported to be the perfect Android competitor for Apple’s Facetime. It is also available on Play Store for the rest of other Android phones.
Both Google Pixel phones spot a 12.3mp rare camera with Optical Image Stabilization with f2.0 aperture and we’re not sure if it was mere exaggeration but Google says this is the best camera in any smartphone because of it’s superior image processing technology. Apparently, DxO Labs, a software company based in Boulogne-Billancourt, France, that develops image processing software has given the Pixels a mark of 89, the highest a smartphone has received in regards to image processing by images taken using camera. The iPhone 7 scores 86 and so does the Galaxy S6. The Galaxy S7 comes in at 88 by DxOMark. Well, I guess we should wait for hands on review to confirm how good this camera really is and how stacks up against the competition.
The Pixel phones both pack an 8mp front facing camera with f2.4 aperture.
As a bonus Google Pixel phones come with unlimited Google Photo storage. User don’t have to worry about running low on storage. Also to note, photos are videos are to be stored in their original resolution without compression meaning if the video was recorded in 4k, it will be saved to Google Photos in 4k resolution.
The devices are also Daydream ready. It so appears that Google has invested a lot into VR content and Pixels are definitely on top of the best you will get VR content to stream on a smartphone.
Also to note, Google has implemented 24/7 customer service support into these phones to the point that you can chat with a customer service agent regarding any issue with the phones or products and also get to do things like sharing screen to let the agent see what it is you’re seeing on screen for better assistance.
Other key specifications of the phones include an AMOLED display at  441ppi for the 5.0 inch Pixel and 534ppi for the Pixel XL with Gorilla Glass 4 on top. They are powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 SoC with 4GB RAM each with on-board storage starting from 32GB to 128GB. They both feature USB Type-C with Non-removable 2,770mAh battery for the Pixel and 3,450mAh for the Pixel XL with fast charging support. Sadly they don’t come with wireless charging.
The Pixel and Pixel XL will be available from Verizon and unlocked through the Google Store, with pre-orders starting today. They’ll be compatible with all four major U.S. carriers, too, as well as Project Fi. Pricing starts at $649 for the base model Pixel, or you can pay monthly for $27/month.

CSS Unused CSS Stages Transitions and Transforms Transitions: Part 1

What is a modern browser?

I keep hearing this phrase in the course, and I'm not sure what it means. Is it everything besides older versions of IE?

I see modern browsers as being Web Browsers such as Chrome, Firefox etc. Some people do not see IE9 as a modern browser.

My idea of a modern browser most likely differs from the real definition. I found this quote on http://farukat.es/

A modern browser is any browser that: successfully renders a site that you just built using web standards, testing only in your browser of choice along the way, with all the essentials functioning well; without you having written any browser-specific hacks, forks or workarounds; and shows great performance as you navigate it.

Hi Hannah,

I guess a modern browser would be any browser that will successfully displays a website using the latest web standards.

Thank you!

No problem, hope one/both of our answers cleared it up!

As John Steer-Fowler pointed out generally "modern browser" refers to webkit-based browsers (Chrome and Safari) and newer versions of IE and Firefox. If you ever have questions about what browsers will support a CSS feature you can check out can i use which shows support for just about everything across a ton of different browser versions.

I'm not a fan of the term as it is overly vague. If you mean Firefox 4 and up, IE 10 and up, Safari 5.1 and up and all versions of Chrome then you should say that. Or say versions of browsers published this year or later.

And yeah, the mobile device remote-wipe feature is really sweet!
Not applicable
Very great demo that I'm having some clients see for them selves.  I think it will be a great selling tool.  Thanks for the link!
Not applicable
That is a superb demo, thanks for posting the link. Are there any more of these for Exchange 2007?
Not applicable
Wish we could use a lot of the cool features in FireFox and Safari :(
Not applicable
Does anyone know if OWA 2007 can FINALLY be set as the default client (not possible with OWA 2003) so that on click of any email link on the web, it brings up your OWA "compose to" window instead of regular Outlook ?

Not applicable
This is a really great presentation. Even tough i've played with the new OWA since beta 2, i've learned of several features i haven't used yet.

I also forwarded this to our sales staff, they will love this :)

Easy To Follow Blueprint For Success With Web Hosting

Finding a good web host can seem impossible, but all you need is proper information. The more you learn about your web hosting options, the simpler it becomes to find a solution that works best for you. The tips in the article below will help.

Don’t choose your web hosting provider based solely on price.

Choose a web hosting service that offer multiple databases for you to access if needed. This can include the ability to store information about your products, as well as your customers. You should be able to easily look at prior purchases and the personal information about …

Mental Health Awareness Week: This Year, We’re Celebrating Our Generation’s Strength

By: Rawan Khalil

This Mental Health Awareness week,

I want to celebrate our strength.

I want to write poems about the things we went through, the pitfalls of the last few years and about the battles we fought and came out from gasping for oxygen leaning on ourselves and if we are lucky enough- our friends.

I want to stand up for us- for those who suffered, for those who will suffer and for those who are currently suffering.

I want to celebrate the hopeless, shattered and broken individuals who are trying to stand up after fighting in hell, who get up in the morning put on their clothes then go to school, university or work with a smile on their face when they had to cry themselves to sleep, then cry themselves to wake up.

I want to applaud those with social anxiety who go through wars within themselves and survive them.

I want to scream and say: It’s okay not to be okay, and it is okay to be okay. It’s okay to take a moment to breathe, to grow and to heal. It’s okay to cry. It’s okay to be happy, in pain and healing all at the same time.

I want to mourn the beautiful souls who have given up and took their own lives away. I am sorry there was no one for you to talk to, I am sorry if the people around you didn’t care enough to understand you, to ask about you or to check on you. I am sorry you are no longer here.

we wish you were still here

I want to celebrate the selfless individuals who put others before themselves, who put their broken pieces in a box to try to piece them back together at night when no one is watching to only realize that the shards of glass will cut them again.

Ask about your strong friends. Ask about the ones who are always happy, who try to make you feel better when you’re down because you will never know if that happiness is a facade or not. Check on the cheerful friend, the always-busy friend- the one that seems to always-have-everything-sorted friend. Check on your friends. Buy them chocolates. Make them cards. Shower them with hugs. Show your friends you care. But, do not forget yourself.

Be gentle with yourself. Love yourself. Treat yourself. Make YOURSELF a priority- protect your peace, purge your space from toxicity and cultivate love- self-love. Stop ripping yourself apart, pointing out all the ways that you are not good enough because someone didn’t think you were because someone couldn’t see your worth. It’s their loss. Focus on you. Prioritize yourself. The world doesn’t revolve around them- do not do things for people, do them for yourself.

Stop undervaluing yourself.

Give yourself breaks and kind words. Give yourself space to grow and validate your feelings. Forgive yourself and permit yourself setting boundaries.

Start valuing yourself.

Know that you do not only learn from awards and success, that you do not only learn from the celebrities and successful people around you but you also learn from the battles you fight, from the wounds and scars, from the healing process, from the mistakes, the tears, and the pain.

There is this unspoken stigma about mental health, this notion that we -teenagers- are not old enough to be going through a lot, that our workload is never suffocating, that we are not stressed and if we talk about mental health we are told to shut up because we have no idea what we are talking about. What could we be experiencing that is worse than what the adults are going through?

And, then we end up in a place where only adults can be depressed, where binge eating disorders do not exist and social anxiety is just mere exaggeration.

Break the stigma.

Know there are people that care.

Celebrate your own power.

May our gold continue to flow and our light continue to shine.

May we fight our own demons till they tremble.

May we heal and achieve mental and internal peace.

I am eternally thankful for the supportive and loving community I am surrounded with, for those who care enough to listen and understand.

13 Things You Should Give Up If You Want To Be Successful

13 Things You Should Give Up If You Want To Be Successful

”Somebody once told me the definition of hell:

“On your last day on earth, the person you became will meet the person you could have become.” — Anonymous

Sometimes, to become successful and get closer to the person we can become, we don’t need to add more things — we need to give up on some of them.

There are certain things that are universal, which will make you successful if you give up on them, even though each one of us could have a different definition of success.

You can give up on some of them today, while it might take a bit longer to give up on others.

1. Give Up On The Unhealthy Lifestyle

“Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.” — Jim Rohn

If you want to achieve anything in life, everything starts here. First you have to take care of your health, and there are only two things you need to keep in mind:

1. Healthy Diet

2. Physical Activity

Small steps, but you will thank yourself one day.

2. Give Up The Short-term Mindset

“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” — Mae West

Successful people set long-term goals, and they know these aims are merely the result of short-term habits that they need to do every day.

These healthy habits shouldn’t be something you do; they should be something you embody.

There is a difference between: “Working out to get a summer body” and “Working out because that’s who you are.”

3. Give Up On Playing Small

“Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone, and as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” – Marianne Williamson

If you never try and take great opportunities, or allow your dreams to become realities, you will never unleash your true potential.

And the world will never benefit from what you could have achieved.

So voice your ideas, don’t be afraid to fail, and certainly don’t be afraid to succeed.

4. Give Up Your Excuses

“It’s not about the cards you’re dealt, but how you play the hand.”

 Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture

Successful people know that they are responsible for their life, no matter their starting point, weaknesses, and past failures.

Realising that you are responsible for what happens next in your life is both frightening and exciting.

And when you do, that becomes the only way you can become successful, because excuses limit and prevent us from growing personally and professionally.

Own your life; no one else will.

5. Give Up The Fixed Mindset

“The future belongs to those who learn more skills and combine them in creative ways.”― Robert Greene, Mastery

People with a fixed mindset think their intelligence or talents are simply fixed traits, and that talent alone leads to success — without hard work. They’re wrong.

Successful people know this. They invest an immense amount of time on a daily basis to develop a growth mindset, acquire new knowledge, learn new skills and change their perception so that it can benefit their lives.

Remember, who you are today, it’s not who you have to be tomorrow.

6. Give Up Believing In The “Magic Bullet.”

“Every day, in every way, I’m getting better and better” — Émile Coué

Overnight success is a myth.

Successful people know that making small continual improvement every day will be compounded over time, and give them desirable results.

That is why you should plan for the future, but focus on the day that’s ahead of you, and improve just 1% every day.

7. Give Up Your Perfectionism

“Shipping beats perfection.” — Khan Academy’s Development Mantra

Nothing will ever be perfect, no matter how much we try.

Fear of failure (or even fear of success) often prevents us from taking an action and putting our creation out there in the world. But a lot of opportunities will be lost if we wait for the things to be right.

So “ship,” and then improve (that 1%).

8. Give Up Multi-tasking

“You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks.”  Winston S. Churchill

Successful people know this. That’s why they choose one thing and then beat it into submission. No matter what it is — a business idea, a conversation, or a workout.

Being fully present and committed to one task, is indispensable.

9. Give Up Your Need to Control Everything

“Some things are up to us, and some things are not up to us.” — Epictetus, Stoic philosopher

Differentiating these two is important.

Detach from the things you cannot control, and focus on the ones you can, and know that sometimes, the only thing you will be able to control is your attitude towards something.

Remember, nobody can be frustrated while saying “Bubbles” in an angry voice.

10. Give Up On Saying YES To Things That Don’t Support Your Goals

“He who would accomplish little must sacrifice little; he who would achieve much must sacrifice much; he who would attain highly must sacrifice greatly.” — James Allen

Successful people know that in order to accomplish their goals, they will have to say NO to certain tasks, activities, and demands from their friends, family, and colleagues.

In the short-term, you might sacrifice a bit of instant gratification, but when your goals come to fruition, it will all be worth it.

11. Give Up The Toxic People

“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”

 Jim Rohn

People we spend the most time with, add up to who we become.

There are people who are less accomplished in their personal and professional life, and there are people who are more accomplished than us. If you spend time with those who are behind you, your average will go down, and with it, your success.

But if you spend time with people who are more accomplished than you, no matter how challenging that might be, you will become more successful.

Take a look at around you, and see if you need to make any changes.

12. Give Up Your Need To Be Liked

“The only way to avoid pissing people off is to do nothing important.” — Oliver Emberton

Think of yourself as a market niche.

There will be a lot of people who like that niche, and there will be individuals who don’t. And no matter what you do, you won’t be able to make the entire market like you.

This is entirely natural, and there’s no need to justify yourself.

The only thing you can do is to remain authentic, improve and provide value every day, and know that the growing number of “haters” means that you are doing important things.

13. Give Up Your Dependency on Social Media & Television

“The trouble is, you think you have time” — Jack Kornfield

Impulsive web browsing and television watching are diseases of today’s society.

These two should never be an escape from your life or your goals.

Unless your goals depend on either, you should minimise (or even eliminate) your dependency on them, and direct that time towards things that can enrich your life.

Ass Headed Demons—Do You Have Them In Your Life?

Above are ass-headed demons that are on display at the British Museum in London. This ceramic plaque is from 15th century Burma.

The ass-headed demons were sent by Mara, the god of death, to distract the Buddha from his course of enlightenment.  Mara was defeated after the Buddha asked the Earth-goddess to see how hard he was working for enlightenment. The Earth-goddess sent a giant earthquake and Mara retreated.

I bet we all have people in our lives we see as ass-headed demons.

Some might be well-known political figures or others in the news, while others might be people we’re forced to deal with each day in life.

If He’d Not Cheated On His Wife, Maybe John Edwards Would Be Considered For Obama’s Cabinet

Who will serve in President-elect Barack Obama’s cabinet? There are many articles out on this subject. Here is a link to one such article. You can read it though it is the kind of thing that’s out of date almost as soon as printed.

One name not on any of these lists is former Senator, Presidential candidate, and Vice Presidential nominee John Edwards of North Carolina. He is not on the list, despite the good work he could have done on the issues of poverty that have been his focus, because he cheated on his wife.

Mr. Edwards cheated on his wife as she suffered from cancer and while he was seeking the Democratic nomination for President. I’m glad Mr. Edwards is not on these cabinet lists because cheating on your spouse is wrong. What if he had won the nomination and all this stuff had come out?

My wife is the best person in the world.  I’d sooner swallow thumb tacks than cheat on her.
