Lindsay Powers (Author)

Cribsheet meets The Sh!t No One Tells You in this no-holds-barred, judgment-free parenting guide that sets the record straight on every hot-button parenting topic by longtime journalist and founder of the viral #NoShameParenting movement.

What if you could do more for your kids, by doing a whole lot less?

Parenting today has become a competitive sport, and it seems that everyone is losing. From the very moment that little line turns blue, parents-to-be find themselves in a brave new world where every decision they make is fraught, every action they take is judged, and everything they do seems to be the wrong thing.

Formula feed? Breast is best.
Breastfeed in public? That's indecent.
Cry it out? You're causing permanent harm to your child.
Don't sleep train? Your child will never learn to sleep on his or her own.
Stay home? You're setting a bad example for your kids.
Go back to work? Don't you love your kids more than your job?

Lindsay Powers--former editor-in-chief of Yahoo! Parenting, creator of the #NoShameParenting movement, and mom of two--is here to help parents everywhere breathe a collective sigh of relief. This laugh-out-loud funny, accessible, and reassuring book sets the record straight on all of the insane conflicts that parents face--from having a glass of wine while pregnant to sleep training, childcare, feeding, and even sex after baby.

Drawing on the latest research and delivered in a relatable, comforting voice, You Can't F*ck Up Your Kids demonstrates that it is possible to take the stress out of parenting and sit back and enjoy the ride.

"A timely and reassuring look at contemporary parenting. Lindsay Powers explains how weak science and dubious ideology have been used to steal the joy from parenting and replace it with self-doubt.

Recently, students of M.Sc. 3 of Building Technology successfully completed the EARTHY and SWAT studios. For this quarter, the students were given choice to pursue either of the studios. Both the studios are different and one of its kind.

EARTHY course combines the elements of earth architecture with computational design strategies where students are challenged to come up with a structurally sound design using Adobe bricks. The course is planned with multidisciplinary workshops to create holistic environment for students of all skill levels. This year the context was setup in Al-Zaatari Refugee Camp located in Jordan. The students accomplished great designs and ware appreciated by the mentors as well.

SWAT is a studio about sustainable urban intervention where students from the TU Delft work together with municipalities, local residents and local entrepreneurs to design a process of urban intervention and innovation in a way that incorporates sustainability through various scales of the neighborhood. SWAT uses a design method that combines: theoretical knowledge, technological merit, environmental effectiveness and above all the impact it has on society. This focus on the societal aspects is what sets SWAT apart for the students. This year the SWAT studio spent two weeks in Amersfoort to put this SWAT approach to use.

Nicole Renee Ryan

Nicole Renee Ryan paints distant landscapes based on her memories of memories. Things remembered and things forgotten, emotionally charged ambiguous imagery, are represented by half realistic and half abstract shapes in vivid color - things real and things unreal. Her painted worlds are defined as much by what is missing as by what is present.

Ryan blurs out details, preferring her audience fill in their own, imagining themselves in her soft, unfocused painted subjects. She wants the suggested history of her image to feel like the viewer's history. Her landscapes shift and become their own active subject. They play, move, and break away, allowing imagination to enter and complete the almost lost memory. She uses shape, line, texture, and color to strip away reality and suggest a feeling of magic and other-worldliness in ordinary places. Ryan's ethereal landscapes dance between reality and abstraction and memory and imagination.

A contemporary watercolorist, oil painter, and muralist from Mercer PA, Ryan attended Washington and Jefferson College and graduated cum laude with a BA in Psychology and a minor in Professional Writing. She has been awarded a residency at the New York Student’s League at Vytacil, a fellowship at VCCA, and was nominated for Pittsburgh's 2016 "Emerging Artist of the Year" by the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts. She was also featured in the newly released book of watercolors, Splash 15: Texture, by North Light Books. Most recently, her artwork has been exhibited at Superfine! Art Fair NYC, Architectural Digest NYC, Gallery Oh! Chicago, Pittsburgh Center for the Arts, Chautauqua Institute of Art NY, and the Heinz History Museum in Pittsburgh. BoxHeart also exhibited her paintings at the Affordable Art Fair in New York City and Aqua Art Miami Beach in 2018.

A Guinness IPA? You Betcha!

GuinnessNitroIPAI asked the million dollar question: Why do European brewers feel the need to create IPAs for the American hop heads driving the market?

Behind the bar was Domhnall Marnell, from Guinness, who had just handed a select group of beer writers and industry peeps a can of Guinness Nitro IPA. His lilting Irish accent belied the achievement of the American premiere of the beer at The Growler Bites & Brews on Stone Street (a lovely bar, even if it does require crossing FiDi Bridge and Tunnelers to get to it).

While acknowledging the merit of the question, he quickly dismissed it as “much ado about nothing,” noting that innovation has always been a trademark of the Guinness brand. After all, if it weren’t for Guinness, it’s possible that nitrogen might never have been used as a carbonation for beer.

There’s been a lot of discord in the craft beer community about various buyouts of existing brands and mergers among others, but a growing discontent is also starting to register among those of us who like the purity laws, be they Germany’s strict Reinheitsgebot or simply a traditional saison recipe handed down from one generation to the next at Brasserie Dupont. We may love our 100 IBU American-style IPAs (India Pale Ales), but we respect the diversity that craft offers us and we don’t want to see European style go all Levis jeans and Nike shoes (to offer up a metaphor).

Well, here’s the good news. Despite the presence of five (FIVE!) different hops in the Guinness Nitro IPA, the beer weighs in at a relatively paltry 44 IBUs. The only hops used throughout the brewing process is Admiral, with Celia and Topaz being added at mid-boil. While the company is boasting about its dry-hopping with Challenger and Cascade, the truth is they are infusing the dry hops rather than actually doing traditional dry hopping. This is reflected in the nose, which gives off very little of the distinctive aromas beer drinkers expect from a dry hopped beer. (For more on the brewing of this beer, check out the four-minute video courtesy of Guinness, below).

So, is there bad news to go with the good? Not really. The beer is a reasonable English IPA, with the novelty of being – per the company slogan –  “Supremely smooth. Unmistakably Guinness.” The beer employs the same yeast that is used in the stout, so there’s no mistaking it for another brand. And the nitrogen adds an element of surprise: It was comical as we experienced IPA drinkers were gingerly pouring the Nitro IPA into our glasses, expecting the foam-up that occurs from a CO2-infused IPA. Domhnall bemusedly had to cajole us into pouring our beers more quickly, assuring us that the beer would not foam over the glass. It didn’t. However, there is still a wait for drinking a Guinness IPA, only it’s on the back end, not the pouring end. The distinctive caramel head that forms in a Guinness Stout is also present in the IPA; the cloudy beer clears to a deep amber after about 90 seconds.

This is not a beer that will win over any hop heads. However, it is a beer that many Guinness drinkers will enjoy. At 5.8% ABV, the IPA is a “big” beer by Guinness standards (the stout is traditionally around 4% when served in Europe) but still fairly sessionable by American IPA standards.

So, is nitrogen going to take over IPAs the way that it has stouts? Unlikely. At least not stateside. The NO2 reduces the bitterness and bite that most IPA drinkers have come to expect. Palate fatigue aside, I think this is more of a “gateway” (and you know how much I hate that term) IPA for people who don’t really like IPAs. Although there are a couple other brewers experimenting with nitrogen-infused IPAs, I don’t think the mouthfeel is as compelling as with a stout. Plus, there’s the reality that bars aren’t going to take over their few nitro lines with an IPA. Guinness has its trademarked widget ball in cans, meaning bars can easily stock the cans in lieu of (or in addition to) draught.

If this is what the European IPA market looks like, I’m on board. A parallel style that hearkens to tradition over bandwagoning onto an already over-saturated American IPA presence. And your Guinness-drinking friends will love it.

Give Cheers and Message The Bitch!

CBD Oil Results in Felony

JACKSON, WYO – One woman faces a charge for hemp-derived cannabidiol oil despite its recent presence in local grocers

Article by: Robyn Vincent, Buckrail

JACKSON HOLE, WY – A woman driving through Jackson, Wyoming, on her way to Montana left with a life-changing souvenir. On July 8, Anita Maddux, 50, was charged with a felony for possessing a 10-milliliter sample bottle of cannabidiol (CBD) oil from Cid’s, a Taos, New Mexico, health food store. Now Maddux could face up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine pending an August hearing.

Independent of that incident, local and state law enforcement showed up to Lucky’s Market and Jackson Whole Grocer two weeks later to inform those stores that CBD products were illegal to sell if they contain THC, the psychoactive component of cannabis. Both stores have since removed those products from their shelves.

Most CBD oil sold in stores like Lucky’s and JWG purport to contain .3 percent or less THC, an amount that does not have mind-altering effects as outlined in the 2014 federal Farm Bill. Third party lab analysis obtained by Buckrail shows that Maddux’s CBD oil was under that threshold at .06 total THC.

Indeed, as other states loosen cannabis laws and federal lawmakers sponsor legislation to do the same, Wyoming remains a dubious place to possess a hemp-derived product with even trace amounts of THC. It is a felony offense in Wyoming to sell, buy or possess more than .03 grams of CBD oil containing any amount of THC. However, manufacturers maintain that if their product contains traces of up to .3 percent it is perfectly legal, sowing confusion for state residents and retailers.

At Cid’s, Maddux worked as an herbalist in the health and wellness department where she received a sample shipment of CBD oil from Functional Remedies. The Colorado company’s CBD oil was on the shelves at Lucky’s Market in Jackson when she was arrested. Lucky’s did not return several requests for comment nor did the attorney representing Functional Remedies, Garrett Graff of Hoban Law Group.

CBD is a non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis plants with a slew of reported health benefits. The Food and Drug Administration just approved it to treat epilepsy in the form of the new drug Epidiolex. (Wyoming does allow people with intractable epilepsy to use CBD oil under the care of a licensed neurologist.)

Cannabidiol may also treat everything from Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s to depression, anxiety, inflammation and pain, according to the World Health Organization. The WHO’s Expert Committee on Drug Dependence also recently said CBD does not have abuse or dependence potential.

CBD’s potential health benefits continue to emerge. According to a July 30 study in Nature, mice with pancreatic cancer that were treated with CBD and chemotherapy lived three times longer than mice treated with chemotherapy alone.

Before her drive from New Mexico to Montana to care for her mother who has stage 4 colon cancer, Maddux placed the sample bottle in her bag and didn’t give it another thought. Maddux uses CBD oil for her own chronic back pain—she has a missing disc between her L1 and L2 vertebrae. CBD oil, she said, had brought her some relief, though she took it only sporadically.
Classification and Confusion

Despite the WHO’s recent findings, in the United States, CBD is a Schedule 1 drug under the Controlled Substances Act, meaning the federal government does not recognize its medicinal uses and considers it to have a high likelihood for abuse.

That classification hasn’t stopped its proliferation.

CBD oil has fueled a multimillion dollar industry online and at health food stores across the country. In September 2017, the retail giant Target was the first mega-chain to dip its toes into the cannabidiol waters. It wasn’t a pioneer for long, though. It pulled the products from its online shelves after just a few weeks. One month later, Lucky’s made the leap, becoming the first chain natural grocer to carry CBD products.

So why are mom and pop health stores and some chain retailers carrying the products if they are illegal?

For one thing, the federal Drug Enforcement Administration hasn’t been shy about its indifference.

“While CBD currently is still Schedule 1, with our limited resources marijuana has not been our highest priority,” Barbara Carreno, a spokesperson for the DEA, told Buckrail. “It is not a priority like opioids or synthetics which are killing people.”

What’s more, Carreno said everything could change when the DEA schedules Epidiolex for medical use on September 24. A plant or botanical could have both uses that are legal and safe and uses that are not, Carreno said. As an example, she pointed to the opium poppy: “you get heroin and oxycodone from that.”

Marijuana, meanwhile, “is a plant with many extracts, THC is one and CBD is another,” she said. “CBD has a small amount of THC but it is very, very low.”

But the overarching reason manufacturers are producing and selling these products en masse is because of the 2014 Farm Bill. That bill legalized the production of hemp under state pilot programs as long as those hemp products contain less than .3 percent THC.

Under the Farm Bill, 40 states have legalized hemp programs including Wyoming. Its program is slated to begin in 2019. That confuses matters because as Wyoming works to implement a hemp cultivation program, it is still illegal to sell or possess hemp products in the state if they contain THC.

The federal program has some legal experts arguing Maddux wasn’t in the wrong. “As long as hemp was grown as part of a state pilot program (like Maddux’s Functional Remedies CBD oil) then it is federally legal,” said Jonathan Miller, general counsel to the U.S. Hemp Roundtable. That means Maddux “is allowed to take it across state lines,” he said.

Miller called Maddux’s case “unprecedented.” To his knowledge, it is the first time someone faces a felony charge for carrying a vial of CBD oil. He pointed to cases where people were arrested for possession of both marijuana and CBD. The “CBD was thrown out,” he said.

Wyoming cannabis law, Miller continued, is confusing. “It is quite unfortunate law enforcement would take that confusing law and charge someone for having a product that has virtually no THC and which the World Health Organization has classified as harmless,” he said. “I would hope law enforcement was focusing instead on drugs that kill people.”

On the national stage, Congress is moving in a direction that would remove hemp (cannabis containing less than .3 percent THC) from its classification as a Schedule I controlled substance. Sen. Mitch McConnell–R, Kentucky, is leading that charge with the 2018 Hemp Farming Act. It handily passed in the Senate 86-11 on June 28.

Wyoming, though, is fond of bucking national trends, especially when it comes to cannabis. The state has a tight grip on cannabis laws even as public opinion swings drastically in the other direction.

For example, more than 80 percent of Wyomingites say they want to see the legalization of medicinal marijuana and 60 percent oppose jailing people for marijuana offenses, according to a 2016 survey by the University of Wyoming Survey and Analysis Center.

Jackson Whole Grocer herbalist Heather Olson agreed with those sentiments. She also believes in CBD’s long list of supposed health benefits and was unhappy to remove products from the shelves. “Not only is it thoroughly therapeutic, but it is also being studied for more of its health benefits,” she said. There is a problem, though, with certain companies, she said. Officials from Wyoming’s Division of Criminal Investigation told her some of the products they tested “were way above .3 percent THC.”

But Wyoming’s crime lab—where DCI tests substances—cannot actually test for specific amounts of THC.
The Un-wild West

Local law enforcement has been in contact with Wyoming’s Division of Criminal Investigation since fall 2017 when Lucky’s and Jackson Whole Grocer began carrying CBD oil. Jackson Chief of Police Todd Smith “reached out to us and asked us for some help because these products were being sold,” said Ronnie Jones of DCI. “Then we discovered this was going on across the state.”

Since then, Jones said DCI has been visiting retail stores and conducting investigations to confirm whether those CBD products contain THC.

Local law enforcement says as long as state law dictates it, they will enforce CBD’s prohibition. “I am duty-bound to uphold those laws,” Teton County Sheriff Jim Whalen said. “Clearly, if we were to talk philosophy, I might talk differently,” he added.

Whalen did not seem convinced Maddux’s felony charge would stick. He suspected it would be pleaded down and pointed to his department’s lenient proclivities. “In terms of misdemeanors, we would prefer to write a citation and send people on their way, which is different than many municipalities.”

Law enforcement is indeed “duty-bound” by laws set forth by the Wyoming Legislature. But cannabis advocates, like Laramie attorney and Wyoming House Minority Whip Charles Pelkey–D, Laramie, point to the state’s law enforcement as a barrier to softening cannabis laws.

His colleague, Wyoming Rep. Stan Blake–D, Green River, “has introduced bills to make CBD oil readily available but we have gotten opposition from the Wyoming Association of Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police that any THC is a violation of the law,” Pelkey said.

It is true that sheriff and police associations throughout the country have pushed back against cannabis laws. Some point to Colorado’s rising crime rates since that state legalized recreational marijuana in 2014, though it is unclear if the two are related. Police Chief Smith said the notion that sheriffs and chiefs could hold that type of sway in the Legislature is absurd. “Law enforcement inherits the law from the Legislature,” he said. “We may get to testify our professional opinion but for any legislator to blame it on us is a cop out.”

The Wyoming Association of Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police’s stance on this issue, though, is hard to overlook. It actively lobbies the Wyoming Legislature against marijuana reform, including medical marijuana. The statewide interest group heads a campaign “There is no Debate” that holds community events and works with lawmakers and community leaders to propagate anti-marijuana messaging throughout Wyoming.

Its website warns that “many adults are also unaware of how marijuana harms lives, and are confused by misinformation on perceived benefits of medical use of marijuana.”

Medical professionals, on the other hand, often have different feelings about medical marijuana and its potential uses. On Harvard Medical School’s health blog, Dr. Peter Grinspoon acknowledged that medical marijuana is a subject of debate among doctors, researchers, policymakers and the public. But, he said CBD falls into its own category.

“Least controversial is … CBD because this component of marijuana has little, if any, intoxicating properties,” Grinspoon wrote. “CBD-dominant strains have little or no THC, so patients report very little if any alteration in consciousness. Patients do, however, report many benefits of CBD, from relieving insomnia, anxiety, spasticity, and pain to treating potentially life-threatening conditions such as epilepsy.”

I Fought the Law…

Back in Montana (where medical marijuana and CBD products happen to be legal), Maddux is biding her time caring for her ailing mother and going to job interviews. She does not dispute the reason why she was initially arrested, which had nothing to do with CBD oil.

On Sunday, July 8, Teton County Sheriff’s Deputy Jesse Willcox noticed her expired California license plate and pulled Maddux over. She was also driving with an expired license and without insurance. Maddux said she has led a simple life and didn’t have the money to address those issues before hitting the road. “My plan was to just get to Montana, to be with my family and take care of everything there,” she said.

According to the probable cause affidavit, Willcox asked Maddux if she could pay an $850 fine for the tickets or appear in court on July 31. The affidavit stated Maddux said she could do neither. She didn’t think that would land her in jail, Maddux said. “I have never been pulled over before. So I thought the best thing to do was just to be honest about my situation.” According to the affidavit, however, Maddux started things off on the wrong foot. She “initially told Deputy Willcox she had [forgotten] her driver’s license at a house where she was staying but later admitted her license was significantly expired.”

After he deemed her “a flight risk” because she could not pay the fines and was likely to not appear in court, Willcox arrested Maddux. It was her first encounter with the law. A July 30 background check on Maddux showed she has no criminal history.

At Teton County jail, personnel found her CBD oil and used a NIK test to determine the presence of THC. NIK tests are “rudimentary,” as Smith put it, however. They only confirm the mere presence of THC, not the actual amount. The oil, then, was sent to Wyoming’s crime lab for “analysis” and Maddux sat in jail for roughly 36 hours. She was released on a $1,000-dollar bond.

Life has already changed for Maddux. To help pay for an attorney, she sold her Toyota Tercel for $550 and is now relying on the generosity of friends to make ends meet. Maddux worries the volunteer and service work that has become a large part of her identity will no longer be an option if she is convicted of a felony. She worked as a disaster relief volunteer in Haiti after its 2010 earthquake and in the Philippines after its 2013 typhoon.

She also volunteered as a yoga instructor teaching yoga to inmates in Oregon prisons. Maddux’s experience in Jackson has her wondering about some of those inmates and their predicaments. In other words, had she lacked the resources and life experience to question what happened and obtain a lawyer, Maddux said she could have slipped through the cracks of the legal system.

While local law enforcement seems confident a felony will not stick on her record, Maddux said in the meantime she agonizes about her August 16 hearing. Her life “has been thrown into upheaval.”

“I strive to have my work convey a vibrant and intriguing experience, which, although abstract, seems real to the viewer. Empty spaces contribute to the spatial mysteries as much as the positive forms.”
-Kenneth Vavrek

Born in 1939, Kenneth Vavrek was 31 years old when he became an art professor at the Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia, a post he maintained for over three decades. His art took a new direction in 1975 when he visited the Arches National Park in Moab, Utah and several other desert sites in the vicinity. Vavrek was captivated by the natural beauty he discovered on his trip. For the next two decades, he dedicated himself to creating trays, vessels, and wall sculptures inspired by the landscape of the southwestern United States. These works are characterized by varying degrees of abstraction, but all belong to Vavrek’s self-titled “Desert Period”, which lasted until the mid-1990s.

In 1995, Vavrek became less preoccupied with his underlying subject matter and more attentive to the form and space relationships inherent to his sculptural pieces. He made increasing use of negative space and experimented with the different interactions possible between the foreground, middle ground, and background of a sculpture. Vavrek also placed new emphasis on the glazing process as a way of enhancing or lessening the effect of a particular sculptural form.

Although Vavrek’s primary medium is clay, he does occasionally deviate from this norm. In the late 1990s, Vavrek created a sculpture with an aluminum framework mounted atop a paper compound. Such a divergence was motivated by the artist’s belief that some of his sculptural ideas were, both literally and figuratively, too twisted to be accommodated by clay. Vavrek found aluminum to be a more obliging material for his more “torqued” creations.

By the 2000s, Vavrek had once again reverted to clay and was invited in 2007 to produce clay art work for the FuLe International Ceramic Art Museums site in Fuping, Shaanxi, China, along with six other American artists. Vavrek fashioned an inaugural piece called Dynamic Character for the opening of The Americas Museum at FLICAM.

Vavrek has exhibited extensively in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York. He has received commissions from companies such as the Korman Commerical Properties and ARA Services and his art is featured in the permanent collection of several museums and art centers, including the Milwaukee Art Museum and the Cleveland Museum of Art. In addition, Vavrek is a co-founder of The Clay Studio in Philadelphia, a nonprofit organization devoted to promotion of the ceramic arts through artist residencies, studio space, and educational outreach programs.

Last week the government awarded £6.6bn in contracts to build the new high-speed HS2 railway between London and Birmingham, to companies including crisis-ridden construction firm Carillion.

Construction work is due to begin next year on new stations, tunnels, embankments and viaducts on the London to Birmingham line, which forms the first phase of the controversial HS2 project. The civil engineering alone is expected to create 16,000 jobs.

It was welcomed as a “shot in the arm for Brexit Britain, providing thousands of jobs and billions investment that helps close the north-south divide,” but is that really the case?

According to CMF Capital’s John Mulheron, perhaps more worrying is the budget to deliver and whether it will support the vision of wider UK growth and prosperity. “The figures are eye-watering and the debate on whether HS2 is value for money a hot topic. Back in January 2012 £32.7bn was set aside for the total project. That figure now stands at £55.7bn.”

“Opponents have warned that the government is underestimating the costs, and that construction has already been delayed. The overall budget was revised up, but estimates drawn up on behalf of Lord Berkeley, chairman of the Rail Freight Group, suggested it could be as high as £111bn which would be a serious overspend and bring into question its value for money.” Commented Mulheron.

Lord Berkeley’s calculation was produced by Michael Byng, an expert for the Department of Transport who devised the standard method used for Network Rail to cost projects. It essentially works out to £403m a mile to build, which is 15 times the ‘cost per mile’ compared to the latest French TGV project extension. The stretch from London Euston to Old Oak Common has escalated to £8.25bn alone.

Whilst that figure was dismissed as nonsense, it’s worth pointing out the Chris Grayling’s submitted budget doesn’t include trains – about £7bn of new ‘state of the art’ rolling stock is needed. With the Government’s focus on Brexit negotiations, the fall-out from Grenfell and the fall-outs within the cabinet, it seems wise to urgently assign a few more bean counters to Grayling’s team for a little more diligence. Diligence to date has cost about £2bn in planning fee’s alone – nice work if you can get it.

So, what are the reasons for the spiralling costs? “The UK is densely populated with high degrees of home ownership (for those over 35 years old) and a high use of the railway infrastructure. All of which makes the price of land and the cost of disruption very expensive. If this was China or Russia the bulldozers would simply pile through. Fortunately, here people have rights and they are prepared to dig their heels in over them, this is likely to slow progress even further.” Said the CMF Capital Managing Director.

Whilst HS2 will create direct engineering and construction jobs, it will also impact employment in the short term. As homes get demolished local business communities that relied on their weekly spend will go under. In a poll, back in November last year an overwhelming 77% of the public would prefer the billions being spent on HS2 to go to the NHS and public services. No doubt given the latest crime figures that percentage might be a touch higher.

Looking at the proposed phase 2 routes also unveiled this week, the obvious omission is there is still no plan to join Manchester to Leeds or Leeds to the North East. The M62 is a daily carpark and the rail network linking these key cities frankly embarrassing.

Transport for the North, the body set up to deliver new infrastructure argues that by just improving transport connections across the Pennines – halving the Leeds to Manchester journey to 30mins – it would bring greater economic benefit than the high-speed link to London ever could. A five-fold boost to rail travel by 2050 could add £100bn to the region’s economy and create 850,000 new jobs.

“The other ongoing argument is that whilst HS2 will increase capacity to our current creaking Victorian network, it will simply make it quicker to travel to London and not benefit the northern powerhouse regions. That phrase that has all but disappeared from Tory manifestos since George Osbourne was told to get a new handful of jobs.” Commented Mulheron.

With businesses scrambling to promote themselves to a wider global audience in the wake of Brexit, it’s no wonder the north of England, with a GDP of £350bn – equivalent to the 21st largest economy in the world and exports 19% of the UK total continually feels like London’s second cousin twice removed. Expanding Heathrow at vast cost is another example of a London centric approach to growth and there are no plans for HS2 to link up to the airport.

Whilst the phrase Northern Powerhouse might have died, the region’s revival goes on. Aerospace, manufacturing, engineering and digital industries are growing at pace. The regional purchasing managers’ surveys show growth faster than the national average. But it’s still not shifting the ‘productivity needle’. Which, is what ministers and economists are pinning on HS2 to help solve.

“As ever, there is no one silver bullet and we need more immediate solutions than a project set to take decades to complete. Currently, not a single metre of track has been laid. To compete in a global economy the region needs to take advantage of new trading opportunities beyond Europe. There is capacity at Manchester and Leeds airports, so opening new trans-Atlantic or Asian routes would send an instant signal that we’re open to business across the country.” Concluded Mulheron.

The news that HS2 is progressing should be met with gentle applause, but more needs to be done in the short term to build confidence that in turn fuels investment. One final point to note, HS2’s announcement coincided with Elon Musk receiving verbal approval from the US Government to take his Hyperloop concept to the next stage.

Journey times from Washington to New York City would be around 29mins. Edinburgh to London, phase one of his European ‘Hyperloop One’ would be about 50mins of travel. Given the pace at which HS2 is likely to progress, Musk might still beat us to the ticket barriers.

The search for world-class architects, designers and developers to deliver four ambitious and iconic new HS2 stations has begun with the publication of contract opportunities for station designs and a development partner for London Euston.

The winning bidders will work with High Speed Two (HS2) Ltd to develop and refine the detailed plans for three brand new stations, at Birmingham Curzon Street, Birmingham Interchange and London’s Old Oak Common, as well as a major expansion of London Euston.

The stations will welcome tens of thousands of passengers every day from all over the UK, providing easy and accessible onward connections to local transport, airports and connecting rail services as well as step-free access from street to seat. In total more than 170,000 new jobs are expected to be created in the wider development areas surrounding the four stations.

A separate contest, will seek a Master Development Partner to advise on, and later take forward, development opportunities for new homes, offices and retail space above and around the revamped London Euston. The winner will work with HS2 Ltd, Network Rail, the station design contract winner and local authorities to deliver a unified plan to unlock the full potential of the area.

This comprehensive approach has the potential to deliver up to 21 hectares of development space as well as improving accessibility and creating new public and green spaces across the wider Euston site.

Welcoming the launch of the competition, Transport Minister Andrew Jones said “The search for design teams to produce plans for new stations and world-class amenities for London Euston, Old Oak Common, Birmingham Interchange and Birmingham Curzon Street stations is a major step towards making HS2 a catalyst for growth across the country. The winning bidders will need to ensure the stations provide the best possible customer experience. There are also huge opportunities for development near all the HS2 stations. HS2 Ltd is progressing its search for a partner to deliver new homes, shops and offices around Euston station once the core HS2 work is complete.

HS2 Ltd Commercial Director Beth West added “We’re looking for the brightest and the best from across the industry to help us deliver one of the most tangible legacies of the HS2 project – three brand new stations and a major expansion of London Euston.

“All four present unique challenges and opportunities for the winning bidders. Together we will deliver world-class designs that help unlock wider local regeneration opportunities and provide unparalleled levels of accessibility, ease and convenience for the travelling public.”

Group campaigning against HS2 have highlighted large disparities in figures predicted by HS2 officials and politicians and the actual financial cost to Britain.

George Osborne announced as part of the Autumn Statement that there would be a £20bn increase in transport infrastructure spending. However, what he didn’t mention is that over a quarter of this is accounted for by an 11% increase in the cost of building HS2. Paragraph 2.85 of the Autumn Statement states:

“Construction will begin on HS2 during the Parliament, and the Spending Review confirms a funding envelope of £55.7 billion in 2015 prices, which will deliver HS2 from London to Birmingham by 2026, and to Leeds and Manchester by 2033.”

Up until now, the official cost of the construction of HS2 has been stated as £42.6bn in 2011 prices, with a further £7.5bn added for the cost of trains, so £55.7bn represents an increase of £5.6bn, or 11%. This figure for the overall cost of the HS2 project is almost double the original estimate published in 2010.

Mr Osborne also said that along with HS2, the Great Western, Trans Pennine and Midland Mainline electrification projects can go ahead. As all of these projects have been beset with serious budget problems, it is likely that the increase in capital spend within the Department for Transport is simply to cover the cost over-runs which have been caused by chronic mismanagement.

Back in July the Trans Pennine and Midland Mainline projects were ‘paused’ by Government due to mismanagement and cost over-runs, only for them to be given the go-ahead in September. However, the costs of these projects is unclear. Just last week the Public Accounts Committee said it was “staggering and unacceptable” that current estimates for Great Western Electrification stand at £2.8bn, against a budget in 2013 of just £874m.

This news comes just a day after it was revealed that 46 members of staff at HS2 Ltd are paid more than the Prime Minister.

Stop HS2 Campaign Manager Joe Rukin responded “HS2 is abysmal value for money, and the increasingly dogmatic support for this white elephant and its’ spiralling costs is completely unfathomable. An 11% increase in the projected costs for construction is shameful after promises that the costs would be kept under control, but it is just another in a long line of HS2 cost hikes, and there will be more to come.”

“With trains not due to run for over another decade, who knows where the cost of this vanity project will end up and what else will have to be cut to pay for it? A responsible chancellor would be asking serious questions about whether HS2 is really worth it, not chucking more money at a boondoggle which would only benefit the richest in society. This is simply rewarding chronic mismanagement, and signalling that there is no need for budgetary control when it comes to HS2.”

Penny Gaines Chair of Stop HS2 added “HS2 is clearly a white elephant. Transport in the North does need improvement, but it isn’t the links to London which are holding back the economies of the North. It’s the ability to cross the Pennines, it’s getting into city centres from local towns. This is where the money needs spending on transport, not on one big showy railway line.”

“The government should make the decision to cancel HS2. There are far better uses for the money, which will have far better long and short term results. The people in charge of Network Rail when the now-delayed electrification programme was being developed are now in charge of HS2. They made a mess of that, and now they are making a mess of HS2.”

“Time and again, the government and HS2 Ltd have been overly optimistic about the cost of building HS2. It’s almost as if they picked a figure for the costs which was just about politically bearable, and then they hope no-one will notice when they increase it.”

The section of HS2 that connects Birmingham with Crewe is now set to open six years ahead of the original schedule in 2027.

This announcement follows last week’s Autumn Statement revealing that the overall cost of HS2 is now rising to over £55bn, £5bn more than the projection made two years ago of £50.1bn.

In the Autumn Statement the Chancellor also announced £200 million to support the operations of Transport for the North (TfN) and its delivery of Oyster-style ticketing across rail, bus, metro and trams across the region. He also confirmed at Spending Review 2015 that £13 billion would be spent on transport in the North over this Parliament. TfN and the Department for Transport have also jointly launched their Autumn Report on the Northern Transport Strategy.

Chancellor George Osborne said “bringing forward this part of the HS2 route by six years is a massive step in the right direction for the Northern Powerhouse where high speed rail will play a big role in connecting up the entire region with the rest of the country.”

HS2 Ltd Chairman Sir David Higgins added “This is another significant milestone in the development of Britain’s high speed rail network. By accelerating the second phase between Birmingham and Crewe, we will bring the capacity, connectivity and regeneration benefits of HS2 to the North-West and Scotland years earlier than originally planned. It has also been very gratifying, as we develop the plans for Phase Two, to see a consensus grow among the city regions in the East Midlands and Yorkshire on the siting of future hub stations at Toton and Leeds city centre respectively. We all recognise the huge contribution this infrastructure investment can make in helping to rebalance our economy.”

The plans, coined ‘Phase 2a’, is raising concerns among those who disagree with the building of a High Speed Rail in Britain. Many feel that bringing forward the completion date for just 40 miles of track will surely raise questions as to whether if HS2 is built, it would ever get further than Crewe.

Stop HS2 Campaign Manager Joe Rukin criticised the announcement, saying “the supposed ‘fast-tracking’ of the route to Crewe, coupled with the rising costs of HS2 and real problems with the practicality of the rest of the proposed route, will surely lead many to conclude HS2 would never get further than Crewe. Far from showing a commitment to the North of England, going ahead with this proposal punts the links to Manchester, Yorkshire and the East Midlands firmly into the long grass, and if being a rail hub equaled economic prosperity, Crewe would already be the most prosperous town the the country.”

“HS2 is abysmal value for money, and the increasingly dogmatic support for this white elephant and its’ spiralling costs is completely unfathomable. The costs of HS2 went up 11% in the Autumn Statement and with trains not due to run for over another decade, who knows where the cost of this vanity project will end up and what else will have to be cut to pay for it? A responsible chancellor would be asking serious questions about whether HS2 is really worth it, not chucking more money at a boondoggle which would only benefit the richest in society. This is simply rewarding chronic mismanagement, and signalling that there is no need for budgetary control when it comes to HS2.”

Thyroherb Organic herbal product for treatment of the Thyroid gland - 100 tablets | Natural organic herbal products from Bulgaria

Thyroherb Organic herbal product for treatment of the Thyroid gland - 100 tablets

500 mg , 120 tablets
Product description

How does it work?

Thyroherb is a herbal product for the treatment of the thyroid gland. The herbs contained in Thyroherb help to reduce tension, perspiration and rapid heartbeat. They facilitate the normal function of the thyroid gland and normalize the production of thyroid hormones. The product is used to treat goitre, thyrotoxicosis, hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's thyroiditis; it alleviates the unpleasant sensations in the area of the thyroid gland and enhances metabolism.

How and why was Thyroherb created?

Thyroid disorders are rather common: Every third person suffers from some kind of thyroid disorder. Unfortunately, most people usually do not take any measures until the disorder becomes serious. Thyroid dysfunction is closely related to the nervous system. All changes in the thyroid gland are caused by nervous tension, lack of iodine in the diet, increased radiation in the environment, and excessive use of chemicals and vaccines. Thyroid hormones as well as the structure of the gland change only in the final stages of the disease making diagnosis difficult and ill-timed. In most cases, after such dysfunctions have been diagnosed, incorrect treatment with hormone medications starts, and even worse, the gland is operated on. Such treatment frequently aggravates the patient's health and psychological condition. Some treating physicians have little or incorrect information about the effect of herbs on the thyroid gland and their assertions that iodine-rich foods should not be part of the patients' diet lack consistency and professional approach. A significant part of Bulgaria is considered an iodine-deficient area, thus no excessive iodine accumulation is possible unless the patients use iodine tincture as treatment, which poses many dangers to their health. Thyroherb is a herbal product intended to have a complex effect on the nervous system and on the thyroid gland. Thyroherb is used for the treatment of both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. It brings relief, prevents the formation of cysts and nodules and helps restore the patient's energy.

- 3 to 6 tablets a day after meals, the maintenance dose is 2-3 tablets a day. The favorable effect of Thyroherb can be felt after the 3rd week of intake. In order to achieve permanent results, it should be taken for a long period of time (at least 5-6 months).

  • Ehinatseya - 55 mg
  • Melissa - 55 mg
  • Women's herbs - 50 mg
  • Black Walnut Hulls - 45 mg
  • Common tormentil - 45 mg
  • Valerian - 30 mg
  • Hawthorn - 25 mg
  • Kelp - 20 mg
  • Inulin - 175 mg

The herbs which are used in Thyroherb are with certified origin and of the highest quality in Bulgaria. They were wildcrafted in unpolluted areas of Bulgaria: in the Rhodopes, the Balkans, Rila and Pirin mountains. They are easy to use by any patient The product does not contain preservatives, coloring agents or stabilizers.

Are there any undesired or side effects?

Thyroherb has no side effects. The product has been on the market for 10 years and is well tolerated. No overdosing with Thyroherb has been observed.

Quantstamp will audit the entire blockchain of a new DeFi project on Polkadot

One of the first audits of a decentralized finance project connected with the Polkadot (DOT) blockchain is set to be carried out by blockchain security firm Quantstamp.

The project, Equilibrium, had first announced its plans to develop an interoperable protocol on Polkadot in summer of this year. For its transition to Polkadot, the project has been developing new products for its decentralized, cross-chain money market, such as interoperable stablecoins, a synthetic asset platform, and a decentralized exchange.

Equilibrium has emphasized that Quantstamp’s security audit will be much further-reaching than typical audits, which focus on detecting bugs in smart contracts only. This is because Polkadot provides projects like Equilibrium with a modular framework called Polkadot Substrate, which they can use to launch stand-alone, customized blockchains that will later be connected to Polkadot as a Parachain. Rather than auditing smart contracts that run in an isolated environment, then, Quantstamp will need to audit all of Equilibirum’s core components.

The scope of Quantstamp’s audit will span the code that governs the blockchain’s underlying “business-logic on balances, its risk and price modules, and its ‘bailout’ mechanics,” as Equilibrium explains. The project’s developers have identified several key customized components and innovations that they believe require particular diligence, for example, the use of electronic signatures for off-chain brokers and claims. Equilibrium has explained the stakes of the audit as follows:

“Quantstamp’s audit is of key importance to ensure the quality of Equilibrium’s performance. The main reason is that you are customizing a blockchain runtime when you are building on Substrate. If a bug affects part of the logic on the Substrate, the blockchain as a whole can come to a standstill.”

As previously reported, Quantstamp was the auditor of Binance’s first stablecoin, and was proactive in identifying the key issues with the embattled DeFi protocol SushiSwap. In his comments at the Unitize digital conference this summer, Ma emphasized that security remains a crucial challenge that needs to be tackled within the DeFi ecosystem.

Fine and Dandelion Dress Pattern

Both the pattern and tutorial I mentioned here, are done! Click here to download the pattern. It’s both the original 6-9 month and 12-18 month patterns. My first version fit until about ten months but that was on a pretty big baby ;) so you may get a longer use out of it.

These are my rough draft pieces before I scanned them in and cleaned them up so just pretend that back piece says cut 4. After you’ve cut your back fabric pieces you can fold the pattern piece along the line to get the front pattern piece. You wont actually use the little armhole cutout yet so just set it aside for now. The pieces already include a 3/8″ seam allowance.

I used the same fabric for my outer and lining fabric so it may be hard to distinguish but pin and sew the shoulders together working on both the main and lining pieces separately.

Then with right sides facing sew along the neckline and back opening.

Working on the frill pieces, hem along the straight edge then sew two rows of gathering stitches along the curved sides.

Gather both sleeves to roughly five inches. When I have my fabric at the necessary length I like to tie the threads together to keep the fabric from unraveling, then work on spacing out the gathers evenly.

Pin the sleeves into the arm holes and sew down both sides. If you are using a different fabric for your lining face the sleeves so that the right sides are facing your main fabric. Clip your corners and curves and turn the bodice right side out.

The skirt piece that I used is 39.5″ wide by 13″ long. I turned the edges under 1/4″ two times on both sides and hemmed it before attaching it to the bodice. Overlap your ends to match the back opening and the sides are where you will you the armhole template.

Line the template up on both sides and cut it out on the fold.

I just rolled the edges down to form a very small hem and sewed it down slowly but you could use bias tape if you have something small enough.

Match up the arm edges on the skirt to the bodice, right sides together, and make four small pleats (two on either side) until the skirt is the same length as the bodice. Do the same thing on the back but also match up the skirt ends with the bodice opening.

Finish the raw edges.

Sew up the bottom nine inches of the skirt and hem the bottom. Add a buttonhole or snap to the top and you’re done!

And once more for the pattern link!

Active Single-Pair Sender - Twisted Pair Format-A - Balanced line input

Sale price $149.47 CAD Regular price $204.00 CAD

The TX-TPS1A is a single-pair audio sending module compatible with RDL Format-A twisted pair products. One line-level source may be connected to the module using either the -10 dBV unbalanced RCA phono jack or the +4 dBu balanced detachable terminal block. A studio-quality buffer amplifier feeds the RJ45 OUTPUT at the correct operating level.

The TX-TPS1A is a single-pair sender, feeding the input signal to the cable pair set on the front-panel switch during installation. This module drives only one cable pair, therefore a LOOP IN RJ45 jack is provided to accept signals and power from other mic-level or line-level Format-A senders. Two other single-pair senders may be chained to the LOOP IN jack, or a single two-pair sender may be connected. If three single-pair senders are connected together, each sender must feed a different pair: A, B or C. The TX-TPS1A must be set to feed pair A if it is connected together with an RDL two-pair sender that feeds stereo audio on pairs B and C.

The TX-TPS1A may be powered directly from a 24 Vdc power supply using either the power jack or the detachable terminal block. Local power connected to the module is also fed to all modules connected to the LOOP IN and OUTPUT RJ45 jacks. The TX-TPS1A may be remotely powered through the twisted pair cable from any other module, signal distributor or RDL power inserter connected to the same twisted pair cable. Module power is indicated by a front-panel LED.

UFC Fight Island 1: Cody Stamann Doesn’t Consider Rivera Bout to be Short-Notice

Cody Stamann has what most would consider a short-notice fight this Wednesday at UFC Fight Island 1.

Only, he doesn’t really see it that way. Speaking to Cageside Press during a virtual media day for the event, Stamann (19-2-1) noted that “I’m always in the gym, always working hard. So this wasn’t really, like everyone calls it a short notice fight, but in my last two fights, I started training hard in like January. I was doing that all year, so fighting again just made sense.”

Still, it’s a four-week turnaround, more or less, in a very deep division. One that Stamann considers the deepest in the promotion at the moment.

“I look at bantamweight division as the most stacked division in the UFC right now. It’s insane how many big names and talented guys there are. Probably 1 to 20. And to be in a mix, it’s amazing,” he stated. “It just means that I’ve got to be the absolute best athlete I can be because there are no easy fights at the top. After watching the title fight this weekend, I feel like I’m not that far from a fight like that.”

Of course, that fight saw Petr Yan stop Jose Aldo in a thrilling contest to claim the vacant 135lb title. And Stamann’s not wrong about the division’s depth, either. Bantamweight might have been under the radar for a bit, but over the past year and a half, it has really started to come into its own.

So has Stamann. But he’s had to struggle through adversity as well. The Michigan native lost his brother just days out from his last fight. Training has served as a refuge.

“I think it’s helped me work through everything. Fighting has definitely been one of the most positive things in my life. And it’s helped me conquer a lot of things,” he explained. “Fighting’s taught me how to kind of deal with the hard times. Fighting isn’t easy, fighting is the hardest sport there is.”

Fighting, Stamann added, teaches you that you have to keep pushing. “That’s something as a fighter and as a man that I’ve done through all this.”

Sorry, Alt-Righters: Trump Has Officially Been Cucked

Image for post
Image for post

Yesterday I wrote a piece about how all the bloodthirsty neocons in the Republican and Democratic parties were frenetically banging the drums for war with Syria in response to the extremely suspicious allegations of sarin gas being used on civilians by the Syrian government. Shortly thereafter, those neocons got their wish as the United States launched its first ever direct and open military attack on the Syrian government, which neocons have been itching for since at least 2001.

The subreddit r/The_Donald, the source and summit of all things Trumpster this side of 4chan, is in full damage control mode as of this writing. This was not supposed to happen. Their God Emperor was supposed to end all stupid regime change wars, build a wall, and Make America Great Again. Instead, he’s launching 59 Tomahawk missiles which each cost more than any rank-and-file Trumpster will ever make in a year at the government of a sovereign nation. They’re admonishing the deserters and trying to lighten the mood by making jokes, but they’re not fooling anyone. There’s a pinned tweet by Bill Mitchell trying to calm them all down by assuring them that America is not at war with Syria, but America’s attack was unquestionably an act of war and there’s no good reason to believe with any degree of confidence that Assad won’t retaliate like any other government would. There are uninvited US troops currently stationed inside his nation’s borders that now have a big bright target on them.

Meanwhile one of their most celebrated champions, Paul Joseph Watson of Prison Planet, has officially left the Trump train. Popular Youtube Trump supporters like Stefan Molyneux and Styxhexenhammer666 have been unequivocally condemning the attacks. Those same attacks are at the same time being loudly celebrated by the very political establishment Trump’s supporters thought they were voting against, including Democratic House and Senate Leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, both of whom I mentioned in yesterday’s article.

Schumer said in a statement that “making sure Assad knows that when he commits such despicable atrocities he will pay a price is the right thing to do.”

“Tonight’s strike in Syria appears to be a proportional response to the the regime’s use of chemical weapons,” echoed Pelosi.

The grand empress Hillary Clinton herself had stated that Trump should attack Syria’s air force hours before the attack, and, lo and behold, her gimp-suited little manservant obeyed.

My dear Trump supporters: the neocons all got exactly what they wanted in these attacks. You didn’t. Trump chose to serve them instead of you. They own him. To speak in your parlance, Trump is cucked.

That’s as good a term as any, I suppose. You thought you’d elected a strong independent leader who would refuse to kowtow to the globalist agenda, and not even three months into his presidency what you’ve been given is Hillary Clinton’s foreign policy. The question of whether he was always with them or was leveraged into this position is ultimately inconsequential at this point; whatever the reason, he’s with them now. Not with you.

I don’t say this with malice or any sense of triumph. I had really honestly hoped your guy would come through with the goods. But the Queen was bound to get her way eventually, it seems. The deep state is running this show.

Just wanted to let you know that at least one little snowflake mourns with you right now. I’m still kinda hoping this is one of his 5D chess moves and he’ll slip out from between the GOP neocons and the Dem neocons and have them smash their skulls together Three Stooges-style, and he’ll edge us out sideways from this endless stupid war.

Here’s hoping, I guess.

Thanks for reading! If you enjoyed this, please consider helping me out by sharing it around, liking me on Facebook, following me on Twitter, or even tossing me some money on Patreon so I can keep this gig up.

LorAnn Baking Emulsion – 4 oz jar (choose flavor)

Great for cookies, frostings, fillings, and desserts. Emulsions are water-based, alcohol-free alternatives to extracts. Instead of using alcohol, the flavor is micro encapsulated in natural stabilizers and suspended in water. The encapsulation enables the flavor to not lose its integrity (flavor won’t “bake-out”) when exposed to high heat.

Alcohol and gluten free.

Protein Millionaires Shortbread

IMG_5543This recipe is something I have been trying to crack for WEEKS now! Millionaires shortbread is my boyfriends absolute favourite, and until I perfected it I would not be able to live it down!

Firstly I tried creating something and the biscuit base was too spongy, then I spent time perfecting the biscuit, and now finally I have something I am utterly delighted with.

This truly tastes as good as the real thing, and for less than half the calories. Please try out the recipe and let me know how you get on. I am going to try and develop it further and bring the protein level up and fat content down, but I don’t want to compromise on taste, so it’s all a work in progress.

Prep time: 30 mins

Cook Time 8 minutes

Allow 30 minutes cooling time for the shortbread base, and minimum 1 hour chilling time before cutting.

For the shortbread

  • 20g Gluten free oats (normal oats would be fine too)
  • 20g Pea protein powder
  • 35g Coconut flour
  • 2 tbsp Coconut sugar
  • 2 tbsp Madagascan vanilla
  • 80g Ground almonds
  • 90g Almond butter
  • 3 tbsp Agave nectar
  • 1 tbsp Coconut oil

For the caramel

  • 1 tbsp Almond butter
  • 1/2 scoop Vanilla whey protein (I use The Protein works vanilla creme)
  • 1/2 scoop Chocolate whey protein (I use The Protein works Chocolate silk)
  • 2 tbsp The Protein Works zero syrups maple syrup
  • water

For the chocolate topping

  • 50g Dark chocolate
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp The Protein Works zero syrup maple syrup/ Waldens farm chocolate sauce
  • 1tbsp Chocolate whey protein (I use The Protein works chocolate silk)

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees/gas mark 4 and line an 8″x 8″ square tin with baking parchment.
  2. Start by using a blender to grind down your oats to a fine flour, and mix all of the shortbread ingredients together in a bowl. If it will not combine you can add a drop or two of water but you want it to be a very crumbly dough that just about forms a ball.
  3. Press the dough into the bottom of your square tin, ensuring it is pushed right into the edges and is as even as possible.
  4. Prick the shortbread gently all over with a fork.
  5. Bake in the oven for 8/10 minutes and remove as it starts to brown.
  6. Leave the shortbread to cool for at least 30 minutes in the tin, it will continue to harden out of the oven so this time is very important.
  7. Once cooled make up your caramel by mixing all the caramel ingredients together. adding the water last approx a tbsp at a time. Create a thick caramel texture and the spread evenly onto the biscuit.
  8. Melt the dark chocolate together with the coconut oil in the microwave checking and stirring it every ten seconds to ensure it does not burn.
  9. Add the protein powder and syrup to the chocolate mixture, and spread carefully on top of the caramel.
  10. Allow to chill for minimum 1 hour before slicing into 12 slices and crying tears of joy as you tuck in.

Washington to allow 3,000 fans for Giants game

Field Level Media
24 Oct 2020, 03:40 GMT+10

The Washington Football Team will allow about 3,000 fans to attend the Nov. 8 game at FedEx Field against the New York Giants.

"Welcome back! It's a small step back towards normalcy in this crazy time," tweeted Julie Donaldson, the team's senior vice president of media and content.

The team plays in Landover, Md., and state Gov. Larry Hogan announced last week that both the Redskins and Baltimore Ravens could open their stadiums to fans as long as they occupied fewer than 10 percent of the seats amid the coronavirus pandemic.

FedEx Field seats about 80,000.

The team did a trial run with 200 friends and family members on hand Oct. 11 for the game against the Los Angeles Rams.

"We take our responsibility to protect our staff, players, fans, and the community seriously," said Jason Wright, team president. "Since the beginning of the season, we worked in close coordination with Prince George's County health officials to monitor and assess the possibility of welcoming fans."

Tickets will be sold to season-ticket holders, based on tenure. All fans must wear face coverings.
