Attention and concentration

By brain injury the ability to focus on something or to concentrate may be reduced. This may influence the ability to work, to study or to continue living at home. Sometimes the person in question is not immediately aware of the fact that the ability to concentrate is different than before the injury.

At the outside it is often not noticeable that there is a problem in this area. This often leads to misunderstanding among others who may think that the person is sloppy, paying inadequate attention or has a lack of motivation. This issue is particularly important for children who return to school after a brain injury and are considered indifferent or lazy students. See our special page on this subject.

If a person cannot concentrate on a single subject or a single voice and is unable to ignore the other incentives, this may be caused by overstimulation. Especially with brain injury in the frontal lobes, the brainstem and the little brain problems with alertness are reported.

People with brain injury may have the following problems

  • Easily distracted. This causes the fact that a person, for example, cannot escape from distracting stimuli like sounds in the environment. Also attending a conversation in a noisy environment is a problem which can lead to overstimulation
  • Have trouble keeping track of what is being said or done,
  • Have difficulty doing more than one task at a time,
  • Experience all the information he or she receives as information overload,
  • Slow in recording and understanding information
  • Have difficulty focusing the attention on something (a conversation, an activity, an exercise)
  • Have difficulty retaining the attention on to the activity
  • Have difficulty dividing attention. If this is difficult, it is almost not possible to perform two things at the same time.  Having a conversation during washing up, for example, does not succeed anymore. Reading a book while the radio is turned on creates a problem. If a person is staying in a noisy environment or living in a family, it can lead to great mutual collisions.
  • Have problems with alertness which may vary depending on whether a person can concentrate for a while or is tired

Impact on daily life
These problems can affect daily life in the ability to learn and to remember information. It can make a person feel frustrated and be short-tempered. It can give a feeling that everything is too much.

Also, a concentration problem may result in a person to appear confused. It can cause fatigue, headaches and dizziness and performing at lower levels.

A person with an acquired brain injury has an increased risk of cognitive or physical fatigue and headaches, but also on pain in the body caused by the accident and / or neurological pain. With acquired brain injury there is an increased risk of depression and other mental disorders.

Brain areas related to concentration

An area in the brains located in the parietal lobe, which is called ‘lateral intraparietal cortex’ checks and filters at any time what is and what  is not important to pay attention to. This region then stimulates the medial temporal region. In this area the processing of visual information occurs and is determined which visual information gets conscious attention.

Damage to the lateral intraparietal cortex may cause the visual attention to get reduced and this may cause serious problems with the concentration.

There is also evidence that the little brain or cerebellum, in addition to the task of muscle coordination, affect attention and concentration. Damage to the little brains may lead to concentration problems.

How to improve attention / concentration?

Be aware that what happens is affected by your brain injury. Try strategies from the past and note what does work, but if that does not work anymore be aware that brain injury may play a major role.

The following strategies may be helpful

  • Reduce any possible distraction coming from the environment,
  • Take regular breaks, take a nap or take a walk,
  • Take a deep breath, look for physical and mental relaxation, for example a coffee break, or a talk to friends,
  • Plan your task in a simple step-by-step approach, and divide large tasks into small, achievable steps,
  • Make notes and keep them in fixed locations,
  • Use a voice recorder from which messages can be periodically played on your smartphone to help you remember,
  • Use a whiteboard to help you organize and plan and store information,
  • If you use medication, put the medication on the table during every meal or ask your pharmacy for a week delivery,
  • Use medication alarms,
  • Maintain a daily routine that gives structure,
  • Aim for variety in the daily grind,
  • Plan demanding tasks at times that your levels of energy and alertness are the highest. This is often early in the morning, but you have to get to know yourself in this. If you are a bad sleeper that is perhaps only after eleven,
  • Eat healthy and try to sleep well,
  • Talk out loud occasionally in order to monitor thoughts and actions,
  • Use a timer or an electronic organizer and set yourself the goal to improve concentration gradually and in small steps,
  • Practice different strategies to determine which is most effective in different situations. Then ask yourself what distracts you and what weakens your attention and make a note of it. Also note what you need to do to make a strategy work or what you should do differently next time.

Hanging video shows Ibrahim's severed head

The official video of hanging of Saddam Hussein's co-defendants screened for reporters today shows the former leader's half brother lying headless below gallows, his severed head several yards away.

The video shows Barzan Ibrahim, Saddam's half brother and former intelligence chief, and Awad Hamed al-Bandar, head of Iraq's Revolutionary Court, being hanged side by side.

They wore red prison jumpsuits. As they reached the gallows black hoods were put on their heads.

Five masked men surrounded them.

After the trap doors opened, al-Bandar could be seen dangling from the rope. Ibrahim's body was lying on the floor, chest down, his severed head yards away.

The execution was conducted on the same gallows where Saddam was hanged on December 30.

In confirming the executions, government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said the head of one of the accused, Barzan Ibrahim, had been severed during the hanging in what he called "a rare incident".

But he stressed that all laws and rules were respected during the proceedings, choosing his words carefully after Saddam's execution became an unruly scene that brought worldwide criticism of the Iraqi government. Video of the execution, recorded on a cell phone camera, showed the former dictator being taunted on the gallows.

"Those present signed documents pledging not to violate the rules or otherwise face legal penalties," he said. " All the people present abided by the government's rule and there were no violations.

"No one shouted slogans or said anything that would taint the execution. None of those charged were insulted."

Police in Ouja, the town where Saddam was born and then buried just outside Tikrit, said two graves had been opened near Saddam's grave in a building he constructed during the 1990s as a community centre for religious occasions.

The police said the bodies of Ibrahim and al-Bandar had been transported from Baghdad to the US military base in Tikrit in preparation for burial in Ouja.

Tikrit is 80 miles north of Baghdad.

Ibrahim, Saddam's half brother and former intelligence chief, and Awad Hamed al-Bandar, head of Iraq's Revolutionary Court, had been found guilty along with Saddam of in the killing of 148 Shiite Muslims after a 1982 assassination attempt on the former leader in the town of Dujail north of Baghdad.

The announcement drew outrage from some in the Sunni community, while majority Shiites who were heavily persecuted under Saddam's regime expressed joy.

Khalaf al-Olayan, a leader of the main Sunni bloc in parliament, demanded to see any video taken during the execution.

"It is impossible for a person to be decapitated during a hanging," he told Al-Jazeera television.

"This shows that they (the government) have mutilated the body and this is a violation of the law."

"We want to see the video that was taken during the execution of the two men in order for them (government) to prove what they are saying," he added.

Ibrahim's son-in-law, Azzam Saleh Abdullah, said: "We heard the news from the media. We were supposed to be informed a day earlier but it seems that this government does not know the rules."

He said it reflected the hatred felt by the Shiite-led government.

"They still want more Iraqi bloodshed. To hell with this democracy," he said.

A government official said the families of Ibrahim and al-Bandar would collect the bodies later today.

"The two bodies are being held at a morgue at the present time," the official said, without specifying which morgue.

The head of Saddam and Ibrahim's clan, meanwhile, said he was going to Baghdad to claim the bodies.

Sheik Ali al-Nidda said he was going to claim the bodies and al-Bandar had asked in his will to be buried beside Saddam.

He also said a mourning session would be held in the Saddam mosque in the ousted leader's hometown of Tikrit.

He said there has been no reaction to the latest executions yet in Tikrit but noted the city has been without power since Sunday.

The executions reportedly occurred in the same Saddam-era military intelligence headquarters building in north Baghdad where the former leader was hanged two days before the end of 2006, according to an Iraqi general. The building is located in the Shiite neighbourhood of Kazimiyah.

"They (government) called us before dawn and told us to send someone. I sent a judge to witness the execution and it happened," prosecutor Munqith al-Faroon said.

Al-Dabbagh said those in attendance included a prosecutor, a judge and a physician.

"All laws were respected," he said, but added that "in a rare incident the head of the accused Barzan Ibrahim al-Hassan was separated from his body during the execution."

An Egyptian forensics expert, Fakhri Mohammed Saleh, told Al-Jazeera that decapitations sometimes occur during hangings if the rope used is of the wrong quality or the people carrying out the executions are inexperienced.

"This is a grave mistake because what meant by execution to end the one's life not to torture him," he told the pan-Arab station from Bahrain. "So, if they want to carry out a death by hanging, they should bring a person who is an expert on this operation to check that the rope is appropriate and it does not consist of artificial fibres that do not lead to a cut in the neck."

The two men were to have been hanged along with Saddam on December 30, but Iraqi authorities decided to execute Saddam alone on what National Security adviser Mowaffak al-Rubaie called a "special day".

You don't have to be an expert to make a case for Disaster Recovery

“We’re covered”, “DR is expensive”, “We have a plan somewhere……”, “No we haven’t tested it, but we’ll get around to it when we have time”, “nothing’s ever happened to us”.

Does this sound familiar?

In all my years in ICT, it’s always been the basics neglected when things get busy.  However it’s those less thought about “basics” that can sink a business. ICT leaders and CFO’s, whose remit extends to ensuring those basics are in place, are left holding the ball when disaster happen.

Organisations supplying to government and ASX businesses are nearly always asked to prove a well-documented plan, and many leverage this capability as demonstration of organisational maturity when bidding to win business contracts.

Too often there is a disconnect between an organisation’s board and leadership that “we need to recover in less than 1 hour and IT tell us this is achievable”. However when pressed the current systems and processes are untested and often the technology in place stands no chance of delivering that outcome.

This is particularly true in mid-market organisations, where ICT leaders are being asked to do more with less.

Even the most savvy business leaders often struggle to justify the investment given the difficulty in proving an ROI. Companies purchase insurance en-masse for all sorts of scenarios and public liability protections, yet they fail to categorise DR as a critical insurance policy.

So, what’s the solution? How do we get a business case to stand up when the ROI is difficult to prove? The good news is you don’t have to be an expert at math to demonstrate basic impact assessment!

A simple equation to understand this is taking your annual revenue and dividing by 2340 (9 hours a day over 52 working weeks). This effectively looks at how much per business hour the organisation is generating.

“But our business can still transact while systems are down”, “an hour won’t hurt us”… both common objections.

To most businesses, the biggest cost base and where the money is earned, is in their staff and the productivity and results generated every hour of every working day.

So if revenue is not a factor, turn to the next biggest cost base in the business,  the annual wage bill. Again, dividing by 2340, paints a picture of a low ball cost to the business, per hour of downtime, in lost productivity.

Not all businesses or systems are as equally important, and tiering the level of assurance in Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) is highly recommended to control costs.

However the question still remains, whatever the numbers come out as, solutions exist that can deliver that business assurance in most cases for a fraction of the cost of disruption.

It all starts with a conversation. Engage the business to truly understand expectations for each business service and application being delivered.

Consider that IT systems are only a small component of what forms a solid and reliable Business Continuity Plan. People, process, systems and communication are all elements that need to be considered.

Once you have solid and documented business requirements, engaging your technology partner to underpin these needs with technical capability becomes the easy part.

For assistance and experience on how to build this technical capability, please feel free to engage me through the contact form, request to speak to me and I can assist with any ideas or challenges you may be experiencing.

A Dinosaur Fossil Named Sue

On May 17, 2000, Chicago’s Field Museum of Natural History unveiled a display extraordinary not only for what it was—the largest (12.8 m [42 ft] long), most complete, and best-preserved Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton ever discovered—but also for its unlikely name, Sue. The approximately 67 million-year-old fossil, named in honour of Susan Hendrickson, who discovered it on Aug. 12, 1990, had made a difficult, decade-long journey to its new home, a journey that began on South Dakota’s Cheyenne River Sioux reservation. Hendrickson and Peter Larson, of the Black Hills Institute for Geological Research, were prospecting there on a cattle ranch owned by Maurice Williams, who was one-fourth Native American and whose land was held in trust by the U.S. government for tax-relief purposes. Larson paid Williams $5,000 for the right to excavate the skeleton, had it shipped to the institute’s Hill City, S.D., headquarters for restoration, and planned to build a museum to showcase it.

As news traveled about the discovery, however, Larson began receiving sizable offers for it, and Williams, the Cheyenne River Sioux, and the federal government began to raise questions about its legal ownership and to seek its return. After federal agents seized the bones in 1992 on the grounds that government permission had not been granted for the removal of the fossil from federal lands, a convoluted battle for custody ensued. A U.S. district court ruled in April 1993 that the fossil was to remain property of the trust, and in October 1994 the U.S. Supreme Court let that ruling stand. Sue was to be the property of Williams and the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA).

The BIA gave Williams permission to sell Sue and suggested that the fossil be auctioned, a controversial move in the eyes of many scientists, who feared the commercialization and possible private collection of scientifically important specimens. Nevertheless, in 1996 Sotheby’s was chosen to conduct the sale, which was held on Oct. 4, 1997, with nine bidders in the running. After only about eight minutes, the Field Museum—backed by McDonald’s Corp., Walt Disney World Resorts, and the California State University system—emerged the winner, purchasing Sue for $8,362,500. Disney was to be given a replica for exhibition at Walt Disney World, and McDonald’s was to get two replicas that would be taken on tour. The remainder of Sue’s preparation for display was carried out in the museum’s McDonald’s Fossil Preparation Laboratory in full view of spectators. Because the dinosaur’s 1.5-m (5-ft)-long skull was too heavy (272 kg [600 lb]) for the skeleton to support, a life-size cast was used, while the actual head was displayed on the museum’s second-floor balcony, where visitors could get a close-up view.

“Our objective is to provide healthy foods, which our kids will eat,” says Dr. Ray Papa, RD, coordinator for Food and Nutrition Services.

District vendors provide the latest products, while BCPS registered dietitians review the nutritional value for the products and new recipes. The U.S. Department of Agriculture regulates what is served in schools, mandating the offering of appropriate servings of fruit, vegetables, whole grains and high quality proteins.

This year’s tasting menu includes, but is not limited to, teriyaki chicken sliders, black bean burgers and picadillo (a Latin cuisine). Students will give feedback following each tasting through on-site iPad technology. Standout items from last year’s Food Show, that are currently favorites among students, are the hot Italian sub and popcorn chicken smackers.

Taste times:
9:45 – 11:45 a.m.

12:15 – 2:15 p.m.

I Got a Buck

I Got a Buck

By Angie Larson

Sometimes a great day can get even better.

"I got a buck, I got a buck, I got a buck!" Say that about eight times in a row real fast and you'll hyperventilate and pass out. After I whispered it about the seventh time, I realized I was about to do just that.

Saturday morning, Nov. 3, started out like most hunting weekends: coffee, cheesy grits, good conversation with family and getting ready to head to the woods. My parents own a beautiful piece of property across the street from Lake Sinclair in Georgia, and my husband, Dave, and I are more than happy to hunt there. Our son took his first buck in those woods two years ago, and I took my first small buck in 2006. Dave and I were anxious to see what would happen in 2007.

The 41 acres had recently been cleared of all the pine trees, and you could see forever. There were tracks of all sizes on the logging roads that led into the woods.

After getting into my tripod at about 5:45 a.m. and watching Dave's flashlight as he walked to his stand about 400 yards away, I got all of my wiggles and squirms and fidgets out of my system. I loaded my gun, made sure nothing would clank or make noise and settled in for the morning hunt.

Just after the sun peeped over the trees, a few does walked out of the pines that border the property. They took their time and nibbled grass, disappearing in and out of the fog.

A few hours later, my tummy started to growl. I had seen a few more does and a 4-pointer, but nothing exceptional. Well, anyone who knows me can tell you: If I'm sitting in the woods or in a boat, I will have munchies. I had packed granola bars in paper towels so I could sneak them out of my pack without making noise. That worked great, but the paper towels don't do anything to help you hear while you're chewing.

Just as I was taking the last bite, I saw several does about 60 yards out, and they were acting a little strange. They walked around pretending to eat, stopping suddenly to look behind them. They stayed bunched together, and one doe looked as if she was actually hiding behind some bushes.

I scanned the area and saw two large does coming in from the left. The doe that was hiding started to bristle her fur and stomp the ground. Just when this was taking place, I heard something I had never had the privilege of hearing: bucks sparring at the edge of the pines!

I thought, "This is too cool! In 25 years of hunting, I have never seen or heard anything like this." And it was just beginning.

I called Dave to tell him what was going on. He said, "Just be ready. You never know."

I Got a BuckHe was right.

I have never seen so much deer activity. They were coming from everywhere. When I counted 13, I had to put my binoculars down because I couldn't keep up with all of them. White tails and big ears were everywhere. Then, from the corner of the woods where the big does came from, I saw antlers gleaming in the sunlight.

The buck was having a great time with all the female attention. I imagined Marvin Gaye singing in the background as I saw the 8-pointer breed one of the does. I felt like I shouldn't watch, but how often do you get to see that in the wild?

After a few romantic moments, all the deer scattered and headed down the hill toward Dave's stand.

About five minutes later, it was hard to believe the quiet, empty landscape was the same area I had been watching earlier. The only sound was my heart, still pounding away at an alarming rate. I must have looked like Barney Fife when he got excited over actually getting a prisoner in custody. I had buck fever, and I had it bad.

Suddenly, from a thick patch of brush about 40 yards in front of my stand, a lone doe stepped out and walked across the field opposite of where the others had gone. I pulled up my sleeves, prayed and waited.

Next, I heard a rustle of leaves and two grunts - and there he was, head down in a full trot.

I took a deep breath told myself to pick out a landmark so I could find him in my scope. I grunted, surprised I could even make a sound, but the buck didn't hear me. I grunted again, louder this time, and he stopped. I said, "Please, God, let me make a clean shot."

The next thing I knew, the buck kicked and ran off about 30 yards into the brush. I heard rustling and saw a small tree swaying, and I knew he was down.

The phone rang a few minutes later. It was Dave telling me, "Great job! I know you got your buck, didn't you?"

I couldn't speak English, and although I responded in pure gibberish, Dave understood me just fine. I called my mom and stepdad to tell them the news. Mom later told me they were shopping at Lowe's when the phone rang in my stepdad's pocket. She said he ran down the aisle carrying a huge roll of insulation, yelling, "It's Angie! She got a buck, I just know it!"

I believe that a trophy buck is in the eye of the beholder. The one I got isn't the monster that runs across the field in my dreams, but it's still special to me. I saw and heard things that day that I might never see and hear again, and I was with my best friend. It just doesn't get any better than that.

You can reach areas that are difficult to access or that cannot be viewed directly, such as parts of a car engine, using special search or repair mirrors. This makes it quick and uncomplicated to replace car headlights in covered areas, for example. Telescopic handles and adjustable mirrors with joints are very versatile. When assembling PCBs, they allow you to inspect all the components without turning the board. Air conditioning and ventilation systems can be quickly checked for leaks. This saves valuable maintenance time and costs. Model-makers find the tool very practical for all their filigree work.

Inspiring Answers

For Bürkert, this year's Hannover Messe (7-11 April 2014) will mark an exceptional year of innovation & new developments. Again, the specialists for fluidic control systems from Ingelfingen put their transition from components manufacturer to systems provider forward, offering comprehensive technological solutions. The newest step in this transition is marked by a compact online analysis system for fresh water treatment and a new flowmeter technology.

Coming from beginnings as a supplier of components, Bürkert Fluid Control Systems is transforming, step by step, into a designer of comprehensive systems for measuring and controlling fluids. Bürkert's claim is "We make ideas flow", highlighting the company's aspiration to question the existing in order to come up with new ideas and to find new, inspiring solutions to the technological challenges of today. Bürkert's engineers have learned to ask the right questions: „Who’s to say that there have to be sensor elements in the measuring tube of a flowmeter?” Under the motto "Inspiring Answers ", Bürkert will provide just that and, from now on, introduce products and technologies that leave the beaten tracks and give new answers to basic issues. The initiation will be given at this
year's Hannover Messe with the introduction of two genuine world firsts. Inspiring technologies Bürkert's new Online Analysis System Type 8905 has been designed for waterworks for the continuous monitoring of treated and untreated waters and storage of the most important measurement parameters before the water enters the supply network. With this innovative platform, Bürkert banked on uncompromising miniaturisation and modularisation. Multiple trail-blazing technologies had to be developed first, in order to make the flexibility of the new system possible. The compact design is captivating. The target group would be plant construction companies and operators of water treatment plants.
The other innovation is the FLOWave flowmeter. It's based on the so-called Surface Acoustic Wave technology ("SAW") and constitutes Bürkert's answer to the well-known weaknesses of established flowmeter technologies. FLOWave works completely without ANY components inside the pipeline and will be the technological basis for more innovations to come. FLOWave is suitable for any liquids – even non-conductive ones. What is more: the measuring principle works even at very low liquid velocities. Both systems already use the new Efficient Device Integration Platform (EDIP) that will be Bürkert's gateway to the new world of "Industry 4.0". EDIP comprises a multitude of functionalities, adapted HMI devices and more innovative services that will simplify the integration of new devices.

If you are looking into braces, do you want to know what foods you can eat with them? You would be in the market for softer foods, as most hard foods can cause some havoc with your braces. Fortunately, you might like some of these softer foods.

If you enjoy meats, then you would want to get more tender meats. Dishes with tender meat include meatloaf and baked chicken, but do not put breading on the chicken. Breading is not helpful for braces.

If you like eggs, they will not interfere with braces. You could enjoy as scrambled, fried or hard-boiled.

If you are a vegetable and fruit lover, you should be just fine. Soft fruits, such as bananas, kiwis, mangoes, melons, peaches and oranges, pose no problems. Some vegetables, like broccoli, carrots and cauliflower, are a bit too hard when uncooked, but steaming them makes them safe for braces.

Items like mashed potatoes, pasta and soft bread can be eaten without much concern. Pancakes are also soft enough, so if they light up your eyes, you will be just fine.

Smoothies and soups are not taken away by braces either. You can get plenty of nutrition by mixing fruits, vegetables, milk or such into a smoothie. Soups like chicken noodle, tomato or anything with a plethora of vegetables are okay, so if like those, you will be just fine.

If you are unsatisfied with these choices, know that we have not described everything. Our doctor, Dr. Stacee Burson, can tell you more about what foods you can eat with braces so you can maintain them.

If you are interested in a set of braces and aligning your teeth, come to Orthodontics by Dr. Burson. You can call our Texarkana, Texas, office at 903-334-8080, our Mangolia, Arkansas, office at 800-568-3384, or our De Queen, Arkansas, office at 800-568-3384 to set things up.

Australian NBA player Patty Mills was subjected to racist taunts during game in Cleveland

Rob CarrPatty Mills in action for the Spurs.
  • A fan heckled San Antonio Spurs guard Patty Mills with racial taunts during a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers in Cleveland.
  • Mills responded respectfully on Twitter afterwards.
  • The fan in question has been banned from Cavaliers games indefinitely.

San Antonio Spurs guard Patty Mills was subjected to racial taunts from a fan during Sunday’s game at Cleveland, according to Benyam Kidane of Sporting News.

Mills was shooting a free throw during the fourth quarter when a fan yelled, “Hey Jamaican dog, they want their bobsledder back. Hey Mills, Jamaica just called, they want their bobsledder back!”

Update: The Cavaliers have identified the fan in question who made the comments and banned him from games indfefinitely, with a review to come in one year, according to reporter Dave McMenamin.

Mills later responded to these comments on Twitter after a user appeared to alert him to video of the comments, saying, “I am a proud Islander. Like my Jamaican Brothers, me & my family in the islands of the Torres Strait have experienced racial slurs for decades.”

Mills was born and raised in Australia. His father is a Torres Straight Islander (the Torres Strait Islands are located between Australia and New Guinea) and his mother is an aboriginal Australian.

On a happier note for Mills, with this second three-pointer on Sunday he moved up to fourth all time in the Spurs’ record books for made three pointers, per Kidane. The Spurs would also go on to win the game, 110-94.

It’s cold.

Like, really cold. This winter has been disgustingly cold. And today it was cold enough that school districts were closed just because of the wind chill being in the -40’s and -50’s.

When it’s cold, we all want to eat something hearty like soups, stews, and chilis. And what goes better with those things than some good ol’ cornbread?

Now, I’m not a Southern girl, but I did have a Granmammy. She was my great-grandmother, and while as long as I ever knew her she lived in Chicago, she never lost her southern drawl. And my love of all things biscuit and cornbread says I’ve got a little southern in me.

There seems to be a lot of debate on the “right” way to make cornbread. I’m not here to add to that, just to let you know how I’ve been making it lately. This isn’t a recipe for “true” Southern cornbread. But it’s not the sickly-sweet, practically cake kind of cornbread that you find sometimes up here in the North. It’s somewhere in between. I’ve made several different cornbread recipes in my lifetime, and this is how I’ve settled into making it for now. It takes all the things I’ve liked from different recipes and blends them into one.

What makes this different from a true Southern cornbread is that it has a bit more flour (some Southern cornbread recipes contain no flour at all) and it’s sweeter. But I cook it in a cast iron skillet, which I believe to be the only way to make a good cornbread.

This cornbread is not too dense, not too sweet, has a lovely crust, and is just right for my liking. But it’s also very easily adaptable for your tastes.

  • Servings: 4-6
  • Difficulty: easy
  • Print

1 cup flour
1 cup cornmeal
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 1/4 cup milk
2 eggs
1/2 cup melted butter
1 cup corn kernels (optional)
1 Tbsp oil

1) Preheat oven to 375˚F
2) Put oil in a cast iron skillet and place in the oven as it preheats.
3) Whisk together dry ingredients in a large bowl.
4) In a separate bowl (or measuring cup) whisk the wet ingredients together
5) Make a hole in the dry ingredients and pour the wet into it. Combine with as few strokes as possible. Fold in corn kernels if using.
6) Remove skillet from the oven (carefully!) and pour the batter into it. Return to the oven and bake 25-30 minutes or until lightly golden.

Buttermilk is a lovely alternative to milk here, but frankly I just don’t have it in my house that often. You can sub buttermilk for the milk, and change the amount of baking powder to 2 teaspoons, and add 1/2 tsp baking soda.

This is weirdly neurotic of me, and doesn’t really matter at all to the final product, but I like to melt my butter, let it cool a bit, then whisk the eggs into it well. Then I add this to the milk so that the butter solids don’t get cold and solid again when you add it to the milk.

I use dark brown sugar, and there are usually little clumps of it after mixing the wet and dry together. I kind of like this, but you can take more time to whisk with the dry ingredients so there aren’t clumps. And if you prefer your cornbread to be a bit more Northern, you can swap it out for white sugar. But I like the depth that brown sugar adds. Alternatively, you can add up to 1/2 a cup of sugar to make it sweeter all around, or cut it down to a couple of tablespoons if you don’t like yours sweet. Like I said, it’s easily adaptable.

You can also mess around with the ratio of cornmeal to flour. As long as you have 2 cups total, you’ll be good. I like the 1:1 ratio, but if you want it more authentically Southern, up the cornmeal. And if you want it cakier, up the flour.

The corn is totally optional. You can use fresh corn kernels off the cob (the best option!) but this time of year it’s not an option. You can use canned & drained corn, or what I usually use is frozen & thawed corn. Make sure if you use canned or frozen that you drain off all liquids.

My skillet is 12″, which is kind of enormous. If yours is a bit smaller, your cornbread will be thicker. It’s possible it will need to cook slightly longer, but probably not much.

The cast iron skillet + the hot oil is what gives cornbread the best crust. It’s crispy and wonderful. If you don’t have a cast-iron skillet, you can use an 8×8 square pan. If you preheat it with the oil in the oven before pouring the batter in, it will still help the crust, but it won’t be quite as good.

And please, remember that the skillet stays ridiculously hot! It’s easy to forget and try to grab the handle, which if you do you will end up with a nasty burn across you fingers & palm. While logic dictates that this would be the obvious result, I also know from personal experience.

When I was a kid, we always had cornbread with Bean with Bacon Soup. While back then the soup came from the familiar Campbell’s can, I recently found a from-scratch recipe I really like. Check it out! It’s perfect for these cold, cold, cold, cold, cold winter nights.

So how do you like your cornbread?

On the Division of Moral Labour for Human Rights Between States and Corporations: A Reply to Hsieh

  • Denis G. ARNOLD

In a series of previous articles I have defended the claim that there are robust, theoretical justifications for concluding that corporations have human rights obligations and that those obligations are distinct from the larger set of human rights obligations that are properly attributed to states. Hsieh claims that corporations do not have human rights obligations. In this reply it is argued that even if one takes what Hsieh refers to as an ‘institutional approach’ to understanding the human rights obligations of states, corporations are nonetheless properly understood to have human rights obligations regarding those with whom they interact, such as workers, customers and community members.

Jeep has recalled 27 of its WK Grand Cherokee SUVs in Australia over concerns that a brake caliper may rupture.

The American manufacturer reports that the left front brake caliper may have been cast from an incorrect material during the production process.

As a result, there is a potential for the caliper housing to rupture during extreme brake application, which poses a hazard to drivers and other road users.

2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland-18

Affected vehicles were built during 2015 and 2016. Fiat Chrysler Australia (FCA) will notify owners of affected vehicles to present their Grand Cherokee to a local Jeep dealership to be repaired.

This recall is the eighth FCA recall this year and the second Grand Cherokee recall for 2016. However, the previous recall affected Grand Cherokees built between 2011 and 2013.

Brexit and Intellectual Property: The devil is in the detail.

19 April 2016

Dawn McKnight, partner in the corporate team at Carson McDowell, delves deeper into the Brexit debate and explores some of the finer details which could cause concerns for local companies with IP rights.

We are always told to pay attention to the small print, and when it comes to the Brexit debate the advice should be no different.

While many of the wider economic arguments have been thrashed out, we need to delve deeper into the detail before we can see how a separation from the EU could cause problems for the day to day processes of many local companies.

This is particularly true when we look at the impact an exit from the EU could have on the protection of intellectual property.

As it stands EU member states benefit from several pan-EU IP regimes. These create economies of scale for owners of multinational portfolios and allow for businesses to transfer personal data across the EEA with relative ease.

There is a lot of uncertainty surrounding exactly how an EU exit will impact on patents obtained through the European Patent Office (EOP). Many UK IP rights stem from EU law, which means there are many similarities.

In the next few years it is expected that an EU unitary patent system will be introduced. If the UK is no longer a part of the EU, we would speculate that these patents will not hold any legal value in the UK.

It is also yet to be clarified what impact a Brexit would have on Community Trade Marks and Designs, however it is expected that additional legislation would be required to allow protection to continue in the UK. These would offer the remaining member states the option to convert the UK part to a national right.

The existing EU trade mark and design registration systems, which are cost-effective and very widely used, give rise to truly unitary rights that take effect throughout the whole of the EU. Brexit would create a need for separate national trade mark and design registrations, at additional cost.

For those considering the possible implications at this stage, action only needs to be taken in the case where trademarks are due for renewal with protection in both the UK and Europe. The smartest approach, while the referendum outcome is awaited, is to continue to renew national registrations rather than placing a reliance on EU coverage as this may lead to further costs down the line when you need to refile for a UK trademark.

A ‘yes’ vote will likely be the preferable option for many IP rights holders, but it is important that businesses begin to give consideration to their portfolio management at this stage so that they are informed of the changes that could come into play in the event of an EU exit.

A brief physical description of me is I’m 18 going on 19, 5’4, Asian-American, strawberry blonde-ish hair, and brown eyes.

    i cannot believe this show is airing again. i felt i was not alive when it went off air!!!
    so for years i have been stuck between a plan and a dream. both which drive my parents insane. the plan was for me to join the marine core straight out of high school, and that sounds amazing to me, but my dream is to act. of-course to them this isn’t realistic, but when you want something this bad, i don’t see how it cant be real. i have made them a deal. i have a short amount of time to work my butt off and find a gig somewhere in something to prove my determination, and then i will enlist. even tho i am in love with the marine core, i cant sleep at night knowing that my dream is waiting for me, i cannot just abandon it without even trying. so i would love to be given a shot at this. i am currently enrolled in acting classes and was also featured on “the talk”. thanks for taking the time to read.

Using the HAVi Watch

1. Collection

The operator knows that a HAVi Watch is to be used on a specific task. It is picked up and tested to make sure that it is able to synchronise with every tool that is to be used on the task. All the relevant details, instructions, reminders and other pertinent information will be available to the operator via the HAVi Watch. The watch is checked out to the operator.

2. Protection

The watch is then synchronised to the tool. The operator presses the button on the side and holds it close to the HAVi meter fixed onto the tool. When fully synchronised the operator wears / uses the watch in whatever fashion is best suited to tackling the job. They are now ready to safely commence work, regardless of layers of PPE, the watch will be fully functional.

3. Continuity / Versatility

When the first job is completed and another tool is required, the operator simply synchronises the watch again and is ready to continue. It knows that the HSE points it is counting are to be allocated to the same user and the work can continue with the minimum of fuss and no wasted time.

4. Management

At the end of the day or at the end of several days (whichever is most convenient) the data collected by the watch can be transferred to a mobile device via Bluetooth. At the discretion of the user, this data can then be securely hosted using cloud technology. (HAVi Total)

5. Assessment and Analysis

Producing reports, is made easy, as is the analysis of the data. Whether hard copies, automated emails or simply viewing online is required, exposure data for tools, individuals or general trends for the project as a whole can be generated in clear, lucid, detail.

These reports can extend to encompass improvements in how project schedules are drawn up and how tool selections are decided in future operations.
