Exceptional Info To Understand About Cheap Dedicated Private Servers

As you will see that, an intranet and the Internet are two widely separated points in the scale of networking complexity, which offer in order to one particular efficient kind of details and resource sharing. Whatever they perform maybe not understand is the reality that your needs are going to determine exactly what you do with your own host and whether you truly need it or possibly otherwise not. There is out there no specific explanation which could tell you the reason why the hosting company and is working for your website ought maybe not to end up being the exact same as for the nation you live in.

A Intranet is an inner private computer system or maybe link of one or maybe even more computer networks, whose use and accessibility is restricted to a business as well as its workers and / or members. By way of the various sorts of vserver alternatives widely available you can get, we provided the examples below to assist the typical person to make the most efficient decision. And here are just one, of numerous vps examples to see as a great example, cheap server. Due to the fact that digital personal servers can operate like a single physical server, it can provide the functions that an ordinary internet hosting can't: increased functionality for your internet site, optimal site performance, enhanced safety and host reliability. Since the hosting is dedicated to your internet sites only, an online site owner will avoid the issues often encounter by individuals whom have actually obtained a provided hosting account: website lags, limited bandwidth and insufficient file storage space area. All the protection measure which you make along with the authentication procedures you implement will likely to be up to you too since virtual private computers work the same means as an ordinary physical server.

This really is certainly as a result of the complete control that the company that has leased the server (the lessee) has over the server; the company, lessee provides the energy in order to make an option of the sort of working system in order to make usage of, so also is the hardware and a variety of the machines. Safety is a huge problem that the internet neighborhood fight with regarding articles and unauthorized accessibility to web sites on daily basis, but devoted web hosting addresses a lot of the protection problems that are usually experienced. Suppliers of dedicated hosting service be sure they're on top of their game at all occasions, by supplying guarantee regarding the safety of all the information stored to their system of computers generating usage of stringent protection measures.

They have also assisted to provide relevant information to people living under repressive regimes in which news is limited and can be a very good device to assist raise consciousness of problems that may maybe not be tackled of the mainstream media. In case your website has extended in traffic and information then you may have already already been encouraged by the web host it's time for you to get beyond discussed hosting restrictions and go your website to a Virtual Private Server. With Hostgator's Baby program this will be just the situation, you have actually got a lot of freedom in order to help make the web pages you desire because well as manage even more than one web site or maybe blog site. Information technology was very rarely that my web sites previously had a mistake rule or even had been difficult to access (almost all of the occasions here was clearly an error it was a connection's fault).

Connectivity through Special equipment The internet connectivity via satellite can be tapped through interface presence, like the phone network that is 'public-switched' as when it comes to the squawk box applications. It seems that lots of people hardly understand that: If most regular people only understood some of the incredible benefits for these cheap server, that many folk would surely buy these types of great vps cheap for home and other types of various purposes. Thus, we can see that having a web site has today opened up a variety of ways for businesses wanting to increase their company, reduce their costs, while increasing their global presence because of to the different web hosting services offered regarding the web. Conclusion More often than not, price will reflect quality of item and service, so don't be tricked by a service that claim to supply every little thing for absolutely nothing - its only not going to take place. The web internet hosting organization right here, leases an entire server to a specific customer and many of these a server is certainly one that does maybe not get discussed by virtually any client of theirs unlike what is obtainable under the shared hosting type.

VVRP: Areas at risk of flooding

floodWILLEMSTAD – The Ministry of Public Works advises all those residents that live or has businesses in areas that are at risk of flooding, to take all possible measures to safeguard their property. One of the measures that the residents could take is to place sandbags in front of the doors of their houses or businesses. It is also advised to find another place to stay. Maybe at a family’s house or in one of the shelters.

The government is taking all measures possible to alleviate the effects of the storm, but the island has its areas that are vulnerable to floods. The government cannot do much in the short term.

These areas are:

West Groot Sint Joris
Ronde Klip (near Hofi Kow and Hofi Barbolina)
Groot Davelaar
Mahuma, from Hegirastraat till Kaya Gungu Maal
Steenen Koraal
Monte Carmelo
Juliana Plein and surroundings (Punda)
Souax, near the dam in Souax
Tera Cora, dam behind SVB building
Asencion, behind the Kooperativo building
San Juan, bear San Juan Center
Pannekoek, behind the Pannekoek plantation
Rio Magdalena, near Hofi Hooi
Klein Sta. Martha, near Helfrieddorp
Dokterstuin, near the Justina family’s home
Cabaje, near the Victor snack bar
Flip, near the Juliana family
Lelienberg, near the Sommer family’s house
Wacawa, near the Victor family
Westpunt, near the Janchi Christiaan Restaurant
Zorgvliet, near the broken dam

Those who live of have business in the vicinity of Beurs, Goetoeweg, Versuviusweg, Penstraat, Oranjestraat, Julianaplein, Pietermaai, Kaya Jongewacht, Concordiastraat, Punda, Kanga/Dein and Stenen Koraal are at risk of flood.

The Ministry of Public Works continues to clean the drainage system, especially in these areas.

SCIP Project Improves Preschooler Behavior

Published on 08/03/12 in News » Articles

Kate TacyHe was the same age as all the other children in the preschool class but twice their size.

“This little boy controlled all play with other children,” said Kate Tacy, a Staunton City Schools teacher. “He was not a mean child, he just didn’t have the language for back-and-forth play. He assigned all the roles, he put items in other children’s hands, and he told them how to use them.”

Sometimes, the four-year-old would back children into a corner to ensure compliance.

In the past, Tacy may have endured considerable frustration dealing with the behavior of a child like this. Last year, though, she participated in a pilot project called Social Competence in Preschool, or SCIP. Led by Tina Stanton-Chapman and Martha Snell, special education professors in the University of Virginia’s Curry School of Education, SCIP’s goal was to develop an evidence-based intervention for dealing with problem preschooler behavior. They then tested their strategies in ten Virginia classrooms to see if their recommendations were both effective in changing children’s behavior and feasible for teachers to incorporate into their classroom routines.

Tina Stanton-ChapmanThe SCIP team adapted an approach called “Positive Behavior Support,” and developed a three-tiered method for addressing multiple levels of misbehavior. They also developed a system for coaching teachers to use a problem-solving process to identify the reason for children’s problem behavior, with the aid of classroom video, and to analyze circumstances surrounding the problem behavior. They then assisted classroom staff to develop an action plan to prevent the problem behavior and to teach and reinforce appropriate behavior.

Tier 1, or universal, strategies are used with all children and aim to prevent misbehavior and reinforce expected appropriate behavior. These methods might include clearly defining appropriate behavior to students, providing rewards for appropriate behavior and limiting periods of time when students are not constructively occupied, such as waiting in lines.

Results from observations and surveys taken in the ten participating preschool classrooms indicate that after using Tier 1 universal strategies, classrooms experienced fewer occurrences of problem behavior overall, with the most marked changes showing up in classes with higher initial rates of problem behavior.

Marti SnellSome children who exhibit problem behaviors need additional help, so teachers go to the Tier 2 strategy. This is an explicit approach to teaching social skills, called the Social Pragmatic Storybook Intervention, which was developed by Stanton-Chapman. It uses storybooks, theme toys and instruction to teach children how to initiate play and how to respond, share and cooperate with others. A storybook about construction play, for example, shows two children interacting with blocks. The books provide examples of appropriate social skills for playing together:

“Thomas says, ‘Aaliyah, let’s build a house.’
Aaliyah listens and then says, ‘Okay.’
Thomas sits next to Aaliyah to build the house.”

“Many children don’t have the language or don’t know how to appropriately ask their peers to play,” Stanton-Chapman said. “They may act out instead, taking the toy or hitting to get what they cannot ask for.”

In the study teachers identified one child from each classroom, whose problem behavior was related to their inability to play interactively with other children. These children each received the Tier 2 intervention. Afterwards, nine of the ten children increased their interactive play and decreased non-interactive play.

The strategy clearly held the key for improving the behavior of the boy in Tacy’s class. His social skills improved dramatically, she said. “Watching him evolve was absolutely amazing. He was like a different child, having two-way conversations and not forcing play at all.”

Mary VoorheesTacy said that when SCIP coach Mary Voorhees first introduced the strategies to her, she was skeptical. As she watched the videotapes of her student’s play, though, she saw an almost immediate change in the boy. “I became a believer,” she says.

For both tiers 1 and 2, teachers said that the strategies were feasible for use in their classrooms and that the interventions had positive effects on the students.

The third tier developed by SCIP is targeted at the remaining 4-5 percent of children who continue displaying problem behaviors even after tiers 1 and 2 have been applied. Teachers attempt to understand the reasons for the child’s behavior and develop an individualized plan to address it. From across the ten classrooms only three children were identified who needed this level of intervention. One child had problems during clean-up times, throwing toys, hitting teachers and children, climbing on tables and book shelves, and attempting to leave the classroom. Another child would not participate in group activities like singing and listening to a story. The third child had significant delays in social skills and also refused to participate in group activities. He would hit, bite, and spit when directed to join the circle of students.

After the intervention, all three children showed improved behavior. Teachers said that the strategies were practical and that as a result of using them, they felt less stress related to the child’s behavior.

The researchers will be disseminating their findings in the coming months and seeking opportunities to provide professional development to teachers interesting in learning more about their positive behavior support approach.

SCIP was conducted through the U.Va. Center for Advanced Study of Teaching and Learning and funded by a $1.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education’s Institute of Education Sciences. The SCIP team also included research associates Rebecca Berlin and Kristen Jamison, as well as several graduate students.

Forts Henry and Donelson

As a corollary to an earlier post about book releases timed to Sesquicentennial battle anniversaries, it should also be mentioned that Blue & Gray magazine just released a new issue covering the February 1862 campaign against Forts Henry and Donelson, as well as later clashes at Dover, Tennessee.  The series of maps in it are superb, showing regiment and battery positions at various phases of the Donelson battle, as well as the terrain.  B&G cartography associated with the main article and General's Tour often exceeds in quality and number anything found in book length studies, and this is the case here. When B&G issues revisit battles after a long gap in time, they always make it worthwhile with stupendous improvements in article content and map graphics.

Lord Jim

The classic English sea novel, Lord Jim by Joseph Conrad was 'required reading' in English Literature class aboard my pre-sea cadet training ship many years ago. It was a moving story of an idealistic seaman forced to deal with his act of cowardice and how he ultimately redeems himself. He had abandoned a ship and left the passengers to die. This book was later made into an excellent movie in 1965 starring Peter O'Toole and James Mason.

I didnt even know it was adapted from a true maritime incident involving an early local kapal haji, the S.S. Jeddah until I read the book review below recently. The heroic tale of our jemaah haji overcoming the odds in the face of adversity is forever lost in time and will never be told. It would have made for an interesting, if not truly inspiring reading. Our own great great grandparents could have been on that ship.

But how times have changed, eh?

PS: The italics and text colouring are mine.

A Season in Mecca: Narrative of a Pilgrimage by Abdellah Hammoudi ed. Pascale Ghazaleh · Polity, 293 pp, £12.99

The Jeddah sailed from Singapore on 17 July 1880, bound for Penang and Jeddah, with 778 men, 147 women and 67 children on board. Muslims from the Malay Archipelago, they were traveling to Mecca and Medina for the pilgrimage. Some came from the Netherlands East Indies (now Indonesia); some from the different Malay states, then beginning to experience more direct British intervention; some from Singapore.

The ship was under the British flag. Seyyid Muhammad al-Sagoff, the managing director and part-owner of the Singapore Steamship Company, to which it belonged, came from a wealthy Arab family, originally from Hadhramaut in south-east Yemen but already well established in the economy of Singapore and the Hejaz, the region in western Arabia within which lie the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. Seyyid Omar al-Sagoff, Muhammad’s son, was on board. In addition to its Singapore office, the business had an important branch in Jeddah, the main port of the Hejaz, then part of the Ottoman Empire. It also ran an agency in Aden, since its conquest in 1839 a key link in British maritime influence in the Indian Ocean, and after the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 an even more important port on the Europe-Asia routes. This is the high point of 19th-century imperialism.

After terrible weather conditions in the first week of August, the boilers ‘started adrift from their seatings’. The Jeddah had for some days been taking in water. Now it sprang a heavy leak. The water rose rapidly. The captain and the European officers abandoned the settling and heavily listing ship, taking Seyyid Omar with them, and were picked up by another vessel and taken to Aden, where they told a story of violent passengers and a foundering ship. The pilgrims were left to their fate, an apparently certain death.

To much astonishment, however, given reports of its loss, on 8 August another steamship towed the Jeddah into Aden. The pilgrims had survived. They had been abandoned by those meant to protect them. Official inquiries followed into this great scandal of the sea.

One element in the case that added to the embarrassment as well as the outrage of the European and seafaring communities concerned the conduct of the pilgrims. The Vice-Admiralty Court in Singapore, meeting in September 1881 to consider the amount of salvage to be paid, found that the pilgrims became agitated only when they realised that they were being left to die by the crew. They had not threatened violence as had been alleged in defence of the decision to abandon them. Indeed, the judgment says, they did not use their knives to injure anyone. The master had communicated nothing to them and their ‘demeanour’ could be quite reasonably accounted for by the realisation that they were being deserted: the master’s leaving the ship ‘roused the pilgrims to violence in attempting to swamp his boat, and such the Court consider might naturally have been expected from any body of human beings, even Europeans, situated as the pilgrims were’. Moreover, the Malay pilgrims appeared to have acted with great efficiency when it came to working the pumps to clear the ship of water, desperate work they continued when the Jeddah was under tow by the French vessel that had spotted their distress signals. The colonial stereotype of ‘the Malay’ as ‘running amok’ when not being the classical ‘lazy native’ he was held to be by some British authorities could not have been challenged more strongly.

The moral reversal - natives behaving properly while being betrayed by white men who violated their own codes of the sea - impressed the inquiry and, no doubt, the devourers of the now fast traveling news between Aden and London and Singapore.

This was the scandal that inspired Conrad, who had landed in Singapore in 1883 after himself being forced to abandon ship, to write Lord Jim etc., etc.,

Prince Charming's Nuts, Or Is He?

I admit, I haven't read all of child psychologist Bruno Bettelheim's 1976 treatise, The Uses of Enchantment: The Meaning and Importance of Fairy Tales. [It's hard to find it discussed online, if only because the first hundred or so Google results are from English 102 term paper mills.] Zipes has kind of a harsh takedown mixed with a decent recap and quotes from Bettelheim's Freudian analysis of "Cinderella":

In the slipper ceremony, which signifies the betrothal of Cinderella and the Prince, he selects her because in symbolic fashion she is the uncastrated woman who relieves him of his castration anxiety which would interfere with a happy marital relationship...

[The story] guides the child from his greatest disappointments--Oedipal disillusionment, castration anxiety, low opinion of others--toward developing his autonomy, becoming industrious, and gaining a positive identity of his own...

So Cinderella. Fairy tales. Princesses. Important Lessons. I've always wondered what Bettelheim would make of the whole Disney Princess phenomenon. And after the kid got some for her birthday a couple of years ago, I wondered what the hell kind of developmental impact these little Disney Princess dress-up dolls would have. What kind of career are girls being prepped for by shimmying their little avatar in and out of a skin-tight rubber gown several times a day?

Ah, something something Polly Pockets. Here's the one K2 just got for her birthday: a Cinderella Favorite Moments Deluxe Gift Set. Not only have they redesigned the gowns as 2-pieces [presumably to help kids alleviate their Electra complexes by not having to constantly get their dads' help with changing the outfits], but they've actually included a Prince Charming!

And within 10 minutes of leaving the box, the kid splays his legs open and snaps off his nuts:

If they're really after you, it's not paranoia.

Sounds like K2 is heading for a career as a divorce lawyer.

Some of The Most Unusual Ways People Have Died In History

By  |

What is considered “strange”? Well, something that is unusual or unexpected, that is difficult to comprehend or explain. This is why the following deaths qualify as strange because these deaths are difficult to explain. There have been over a hundred reported strange and unusual deaths in the 20th and 21st century alone. Strange deaths have been occurring since before the middle ages in the time of the Greek and Roman Empires. A strange or unusual death could be either ironic, such as an inventor being killed by his own invention, it can be poetic such as the ‘stop’ sign thief who died in a car accident, or it can simply be a weird and bizarre death such as the man who tripped over his own – record breaking – beard and broke his neck.
Death is a morbid affair that no one can escape, and what’s even more true, is that no one can predict how they will die.

Weird and Humorous Deaths

Although death is not a laughing matter over time there have been certain cases of fatal casualties where one cannot help but giggle or chuckle at the manner of their deaths. Some deaths are ironic, whilst others are simply puzzling and laughable.
The Owner of Segway Inc.
The multi-millionaire owner of the Segway Company Jimi Heselden was a passionate user of the Segway electronic device. The device is a two-wheeled, electric motorized scooter, with mud guards and extra-wide tires that separated it from the regular scooters.
One fine day Mr. Heselden, who would normally ‘off-road’ with the Segway, literally went off the road in the English countryside and drove off an eighty-foot cliff and to his death.
The Convict and the Electric Toilet
Michael Anderson Godwin was a convicted murderer in 1989 and was sentenced to death via the electric chair. Whilst his case and final sentence was continuously being postponed and prolonged, Michael was involved in an awkward accident when he tried to fix his television whilst being seated on a metal toilet. In an attempt to fix the TV Michael bit on the wire and was immediately electrocuted, with the wet metal toilet being used as a conductor.
‘Psycho’ Film Body Double

If you’re a thriller movie fan, you’re surely a fan of Alfred Hitchcock, and if you’re a Hitchcock fan you must have seen Psycho the hit thriller film of the 60’s.
The famous shower scene is one of the most thrilling scenes in Hollywood history. What many people don’t know is that a young actress by the name of Myra Jones was the stand-in for Janet Leigh – the actress who played the lead role. In 1988, Myra Jones was the victim of a brutal rape and murder by a man who re-enacted the shower scene due to his obsession with the film.
The final twist in the story is that due to confidentiality agreements in the production Myra Jones was not the actual body double used for that scene. In fact, another actress was used for that particular scene. Myra Jones had the unfortunate fate of being killed in the manner used in a film of which she was not even a part of.
Demonstration of Accidental Death
Clement Vallandigham was a lawyer during the 19th century who was defending a man who was charged with murder during a bar fight. Clement’s case going forward was to convince the jury that the deceased had accidentally shot himself whilst drawing his weapon from his pocket. In order to prove this theory, Clement re-enacted the entire scene to every detail including the part where he accidentally shot himself. Clement managed to shoot himself and as a result died from his injuries.
On the bright side, he managed to acquit his client, since the jury was thoroughly convinced that a man can accidentally shoot himself.
Proof of Yellow Fever Disease
Jesse William Lazear was an American physician during the end of the 19th century. He hypothesized that Yellow Fever – an acute viral disease responsible for fever, yellowing of the skin, etc. – was being transmitted by mosquitoes. To prove his theory Lazear let infected mosquitoes bite him repeatedly. In the end, he was proven right when he died of the disease eventually.
Sister See, Sister Do
In 1991, Yooket Paen, a 57-year-old native of Thailand who lived in Angthong, a rural area 60 miles north of Bangkok, was walking across her farm one day when she slipped on some mud, and reached out to grab an unprotected live wire, and was electrocuted to her death.
Days later, her 52-year-old sister Yooket Pan, was showing some neighbors how the unfortunate affair took place when she herself slipped, grabbed the same wire and was instantly electrocuted to her death as well.
Lifeguards’ Pool Party

The lifeguards of New Orleans had gone an entire year in 1984 without any drowning incident, which was a huge achievement for them. To celebrate they hosted a pool party which was a great success and enjoyed by over 200 guests.
At the party, there were four lifeguards on duty and there were at least one lifeguard for each guest excluding the active duty ones. In spite of the sheer number of the lifeguards at the party, 31-year-old Jerome Moody – a guest at the party – drowned in the deep end of the pool.
Infection After Death
Sigurd the Mighty was a Norse warrior during the Viking Era and was especially known for his brutality on the battlefield. In one particular battle, Sigurd decapitated his enemy’s head and attached it to his saddle as a victory prize of the battle.
On the ride home the teeth of the severed head continuously grazed Sigurd’s open leg and as a result, Sigurd was infected and later died from the infection.

There are much more ridiculous deaths both recorded and unrecorded in history, however, we feel the sheer strange and ridiculous nature of these deaths warrants enough attention. The weird ways people have died can be attributed to either sheer stupidity, unfortunate circumstances or even simple karma or fate if one believes in that sort of thing.
Whilst these deaths have had some sort of reasonable explanation surrounding the deaths there have been cases where the deaths have remained a mystery to the world even to this date. The list strange ways people have died does not limit itself to humorous and ironic cases only. Rather there has been serious mind boggling and brain puzzling cases where even the police have had no luck explaining the mystery surrounding the death.

Mysterious and Unexplained Deaths

A mysterious death is one where the circumstances and facts surrounding the case do little to help understand the cause or reason of the death. In fact, certain evidence may only confuse the case even more. There have been numerous cases of such deaths all over the world. Perhaps the most infamous case is the mystery behind the death of Edgar Allan Poe.
The Death of Edgar Allan Poe
Edgar Allan Poe was a famous literary writer known for his works on mystery and the macabre.
On September 27th, 1849, was traveling from Richmond to New York via Philadelphia when he missed his train to New York and instead headed for Baltimore. On the third of October Poe was found at Gunner’s Hall in a state of deliriousness and distress and was reportedly taken to the hospital.
Although straying in and out of consciousness Poe did not fully explain to the physicians what happened to him. He died the following Sunday with great mystery shrouding the cause of his death.
To complicate matters Poe’s attending physician Dr. Moran was the only one to see the author in his final days and was not a credible source of information as he altered the timeline of events and other incidents after Poe’s death. Moreover, all the death certificate and relevant documentation regarding Poe’s death was lost so no one knows the actual cause of death.
That, however, has not stopped the conspiracy theorists and other with coming up with their versions of his death. They include alcoholism, being mugged, suicide and depression and other numerous theories. Nevertheless, to this day, his death remains a mystery.
The Car Fire Murder

Alfred Rouse, a man with a problematic situation attempted to fake his own death by hitting a random stranger with a mallet, placing him in his car and burning both body and car. However, Rouse was caught at the scene and hanged for murdering the random man in the first place. The identity of that man was not known to either Rouse or anyone else.
The prime candidate in the missing identity case was a William T. Briggs who went missing close to where the incident took place. Being of similar built and appearance to Rouse he was considered to be the random man placed in the car.
However, the mystery became more complex when Briggs’s family arranged a DNA test in 2014 to gain some closure. The result was not what they were expecting. The DNA did not match to the random man in the car which further posed two mind-boggling questions. Who did Alfred Rouse kill and burn with the car, and what ever happened to William T. Briggs if he was in fact not the man in the car?
Elisa Lam and the Cecil Hotel
If ever there was a testament to the strange ways people have died or the strange circumstances surrounding the death of someone it was the case of Elisa Lam in 2013.
After complaints of some odd smell and color of the water at the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles, the staff investigated the water tanks to find the decomposing body of Elisa Lam in the water tank. As if the death of a hotel resident in the hotel’s water tank was not weird enough here are the facts that make this even more mysterious.
CCTV footage of the elevator showed that prior to going missing at the hotel Elisa was seen on the footage and appeared to be hiding from someone every time the elevator doors opened and was displaying erratic and unusual behavior. What’s more is that the roof can only be accessed by staff with key and pass codes, and if that was not troubling enough, the water tank is 2.4 meters tall, more than half the height of Elisa, who somehow managed to climb the tank without a ladder, shoved herself in and closed the heavy lid on herself again.
Her death has been ruled as an accident but needless to say it’s still a modern mystery.
Morgan Harrington and the Concert

Morgan Harrington was a 20-year-old Virginia Tech student who attended a Metallica Concert with her friends in October 2009. During the performances of the opening acts Morgan needed to use the bathroom and excused herself from her friends. However, when she did not return after a long time her worried friends called her to check up on her. She told them that the concert management had a ‘no re-entry policy’ and she could not come in since she had left the concert grounds to use the bathroom. This was surprising in itself since there were bathrooms inside the concert stadium.
Nevertheless, Morgan told her friends she would make her way home and that they should enjoy the concert without her. Morgan who was constantly seen with friends was witnessed leaving the concert alone and walking alongside the road later in the night, again alone.
After several weeks of being reported missing, the remains of Morgan were found on a farm not far from the concert area. The post-mortem showed that Morgan had been violently beaten and raped before being killed.
The mystery surrounds the curious nature of Morgan that night. A girl who was always seen with friends decides to hike alone in the middle of the night.

There is no rational explanation to the strange ways people have died. Cultists attribute it to satanic works or the works of demons and ghouls. More religious men have claimed that some deaths that have a hint of poetic justice can be attributed to divine intervention. Karma, Fate, the Supernatural it does not matter what you believe in, a strange death is a strange death. There are some cases where some deaths may seem strange to the average human being but are in fact normal in certain parts of the world. Satti – an outdated Indian ritual – would see the widow of the recently deceased place themselves in the funeral fire and offer themselves as a sacrifice. This presents a learning experience about different cultures no matter how crude or uncivilized.
However, the weirder deaths such as the electrocution on the metal toilet and accidental shooting have a different lesson altogether. The first lesson is to use common sense wherever applicable. The second lesson is to not risk your life for the sake of science or a court case as it was with Mr. Clement Vallandigham.
After reviewing all the weird ways people have died, the unusual deaths, the weirdest death stories and the mysterious deaths as well we can safely say this number will continue to grow. As mysteries and strange occurrences take place in our daily lives it stands to reason there will always be a case of a strange death somewhere in the world, whether it be weird and humorous or mysterious and unexplained.

May 9 - Thelazia callipaeda

Oriental eyeworm, Thelazia callipaeda, is kind of a gruesome parasite. These nematodes are transmitted by flies - but not biting flies - just those that come to lap up tears from the eyes of vertebrate animals. The larvae are swallowed by these flies where they will go through a couple of developmental stages and then move to the mouthparts of the fly, where they can be released the next time the insect feeds from the tears or secretions. This species has an almost world-wide distribution and can infect many canids, cats and rabbits - and, in some cases, humans. On top of the gross factor (sorry about the photo), they can cause health issues such as conjunctivitis, visual impairment and corneal scarring.

Mitt Romney yesterday released his plan to reform America’s ailing education system. It goes big on school choice and parental empowerment and calls for increased transparency of results. Along the way, it admonishes education unions — and rightly so — for standing in the way of reform.

Notably, Romney’s plan would expand D.C.’s embattled Opportunity Scholarship Program (OSP), which provides vouchers to low-income children in the nation’s capital. President Obama has been hostile toward the voucher program. Most recently he capped enrollment in OSP, after having agreed to its reauthorization just last year.

Romney’s instincts to expand school choice and the OSP are spot-on. Since D.C. education is under the jurisdiction of Congress, it’s entirely appropriate to call for expanding this voucher program.

Romney also proposes making federal education funding for low-income children and children with disabilities portable, effectively voucherizing Title I of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This is a laudable goal, but to better reflect the tenets of federalism, he should amend the language to let states make Title I and IDEA funding portable.

In addition, Romney said: “To receive the full complement of federal education dollars, states must provide students with ample school choice. In addition, digital learning options must not be prohibited. And charter schools or similar education choices must be scaled up to meet student demand.” (Emphasis added.)

Yes, school choice, digital learning, and charters are imperative to improving America’s education system. But the federal government should not be dictating what states must do in terms of education policy. Let’s not fall into the trap of becoming conservative technocrats — placing mandates on states to implement certain policies with which we agree. That’s the mistake some conservatives made with No Child Left Behind.

Luodong Sports Park

I live in 觀天下，a large concrete and tile structure (the tallest in Loudong) with an exterior off the set from a 1980's sci-fi flick (think Blade Runner era, where visions of future buildings look waaay to set in the past for us today), water running in through all the seams (try it in a typhoon - black water sputtering out of the window creases), and an echo throughout the living room and bedrooms (our fault that we've yet to find enough furniture to make white tiles, white plaster over concrete, and white sofas feel warm).
****The glowing tiles of a once-future scene****

****The Barren Room (Spare Room in the Land of Wardrobe in the cabinet on the right)****

Plus side, there's a great view from the rooftop, an overly-friendly guard named 林/Lin (who asks me in the elevator every morning "麥兜, 你上班馬？” or "Mai Dou, You going to work?" He knows quite well where I'm going. I don't mind the through-the-elevator conversations; little unsettling to see him ringing the doorbell of our 7th floor apartment at 7:30am or 10:00pm), and a beautiful sports park across the way.
****Crosswalk in front of the building, park across the way****
***Old and Young Enjoy Walk to the Park****

The Luodong Sports park really is a nice piece of public space. There is a large pond, with wooden bridges connecting the sides to an island in the middle, a boardwalk style area with music in the evenings, open grassy areas for tossing a frisbee, and a strange "bowl".
****A typical Saturday late afternoon crowd****
****Feed What You Eat: Fish and Duck****

****Fish Meet Duck in the Pond****
****Don't Drop the Baby or we'll have a role reversal****

****The Love to Talk about Being Persecuted by China Falun Dafuers****
The Strange Bowl:

To get to the bowl, you walk up what one would assume is a typical hill. Lots of people are at the top, but aren't there a lot of people all over the park? Nothing atypical looking from down below.
****Nothing to See Hear, Just a Hilltop****

Surprise! Reach the peak and it's a round basin, like a wide and shallow volcano, with a tiny pit/hole lined with rocks at the bottom. Kids run down, sideways, then back up. Dogs run down, sideways, then back up. The already out of place foreigners run down, sideways, and back up. It's kind of exhilarating, the momentum pushing you down and forward, then back up at an angle. Park like this makes you feel 5 again.
****Fun Run for Kids****
****Popular for a Ditch****

I asked a Taiwanese friend the significance of the area. Is there a common cultural practice requiring hilltop basins? Not that they knew of. Anyone else have any insights?

Next sunny and windy day, I'm renting a kite. I'll be damned if I'm gonna grow up soon.

Yu-Tzu said...

Here comes the Ms. I-have-to-answer-Dale's-Blog-Entries again...

The design of the LuoDong Sports Park intended to combine the Taiwanese landscpe with the local cultures as to provide a sports/ leisure park for the locals. That's why they "created" some hills, pebble paveway and the small pier and so forth in the park. In addition, it also adds to the variety of the Sports Park and distinguished it from being a "standard park" park.

Hope you find the answer satisfying...

Dalbanese said...

Yu-tzu - I promise I'm ever so grateful to have your comments clarifying things for my own good, as well as for the good of anyone else who might read my filtered interpretations of some of the culture here. You do us all a service. Thanks.

The created environment I get; we have plenty of artificial landscapes in US parks. My question is not about the hill itself, but the dug out bowl at the top. and the pit. don't forget the pit. Crazy.

beer+"never have i ever" champ said...

They still resemble partial Taiwanese landscape. For instance, the dug out bowl is supposed to resemble places like Taipei Basin and the pit (if i got what you meant right) could be found in Northern Taiwan as well, since we used to have a small goldmine near Jioufen about 60 years's out of production already but still have some close linkages to people's memories....

The River of Blood
“Within this river are those tyrants so aptly punished in a boiling blood.” — Virgil

The Phlegethon is the boiling river of blood that comprises the first part of the Seventh Circle of Hell. Centaurs are charged with tormenting souls here by dipping caged sinners into the boiling river as well as average damage from from their furnace saddles. Chief among those is Nessus, who allows Dante to ride him across the river. The violent souls boil within the depths of the blood. Souls like Alexander the Great and Attila the Hun are among those trapped here. According to Virgil, the river eventually flows through the Eighth Circle and collects in the Ninth Circle, whereby it freezes to make Cocytus.

Loot Edit

Attila's Armor- From the corner of the furnace platform the right part of the wall is broken and has a damned wall you can climb down. Instead of heading straight down, go left to follow the wall around to a secret area within the centaur itself.

Silver Judas Coin-Found just below the Attila's Armor relic above, on the platform after the damned climb.

Silver Judas Coin- Found just before Wood of the Suicides, on the cliff to the left after crossing the river via the centaur's cages, just before talking with Virgil.

  • Greek mythology, the Phlegethon was one of the five rivers of the Underworld, known as the Fiery River. It is said to punish the wicked by healing them, so that they can endure more pain.
  • In "The Inferno", Dante described the River of Phlegethon as a river of boiling blood, in which tyrants and murderers were submerged. Some are almost completely submerged under the river, while others have only their feet scorched.

There is a good check list on Wikipedia from which it becomes a pretty fair guess that most UK English speakers will be able to include: 'chit' - a ticket (chitthi - a note); 'chutney' (chatni) 'cushy' -easy and comfortable (khushi - soft); 'doolally' - mentally unstable (Deolali - a hospital in Maharashtra); and 'pyjamas' (paijaamaa - a loose leg garment).

Tuesday, 24 January 2017

Students may apply for admissions to DAS at any time during the school year but they will not be accepted unless they complete the following four steps:

» Step 1

The parent presents the completed application in a hanging file to the DAS Registrar at any time before the entrance exam. The file should contain all the official papers requested and will be final only when all the papers are on file at the school. The official papers required are the following:
• Birth certificate (Photocopy)
• Family Document for Saudis or Passport with Residence (Iqama) for non-Saudis (Photocopy)
• Photocopy of Aramco ID for Aramcons
• Health Certificate which includes a photocopy of the record of immunizations (If the child is accepted in the school, this record must be updated before the child can begin attending.)
• Photograph of the student
• For a student to enter grade 2 or above, a photocopy of the grades and report from the previous school
NOTE FOR SAUDI ARAMCO PERSONNEL: It is important for Saudi Aramco personnel to know that the formal date of the application will be the day on which the file is completed at the Registrar's office with all the papers in place.

» Step 2

The student attends an orientation meeting in the place in the school where he will later be examined. Those entering grade 2 or above will also receive worksheets for practice.

» Step 3

The student sits for the exam or attends the entrance interview on the date announced by the DAS Registrar and posted on the DAS website. The interviews for pre-school and first grade are usually in the second month of the second semester. The exams for grades 2 and above are usually nearer to the end of the second semester.

» Step 4

Parents come to the school to pick up their individual letters with the admission results. These letters are all distributed at the same time on a Thursday (usually two weeks after the exams) announced by the registrar and posted on the school's website.
It should be noted that the selection decisions are made by a committee based on the priorities stated below and in light of the availability of spaces in a given year.

» Step 5

Parents of children who have been accepted are required to pay the entire annual tuition for the first year within the one week after the announcement. If they do not pay in that time, the space will be given to the first child on the waiting list.

Is it a bad idea to mix hydrangeas?

Chicago, IL(Zone 6a)

Hi all,

What do you all think of having H. paniculata 'Limelight' next to H. arborescens 'Annabelle' in a mixed border in partial sun? Would they look strange together?

Just wanted to ask for opinions. :-)

Thank you,

Hurst, TX(Zone 7b)

I find that it is difficult to answer that because what looks strange to me is not strage to others. But it sometimes looks strange to me when I place two different types of hydrangeas side by side. I suggest you go to a nursery and place the two side by side and decide for yourself. If you do it now, they may have matured blooms that changed the original bloom colors.. Consider that too when looking at them side by side.

Ladysmith, BC

I love them all and most important to me is giving them space and the right sun

Cyclops: Stop slamming McDonald’s with online petitions
Mar 27, 2014 | 2115 views | 0 0 comments | 11 11 recommendations | email to a friend | print
Bryan Gray

The views expressed in this column are those of the author and do not necessariliy reflect the views of the Davis Clipper.

I have written before that technology has made people less patient.  A recent news story also makes me think that the ability to make on-line comments has made people less thoughtful.

An example is the on-line onslaught against one of the country’s largest employers and most successful companies.  A well-known vegan author has used the internet to gather nearly 100,000 signatures (including those of celebrities Ellen DeGeneres, Russell Simmons and Alicia Silverstone) asking McDonald’s to provide meatless meals other than its current salads and oatmeal.

“McDonald’s has an opportunity to make a smart business decision that can benefit millions looking to fight heart disease and obesity,” says the author.

I have no trouble with people urging a company to carry out a specific social policy. However, in the case of a restaurant, a menu is focused on what people will actually order.

If there was a great surge of interest in fast-food customers demanding tofu, McDonald’s would add the item to the menu. If millions of Americans refused to enter a McDonald’s because the company wouldn’t substitute green beans for french fries, I can assure you Ronald McDonald would look more green than the Jolly Green Giant.

McDonald’s serves McMillions of customers, and I don’t think it should be shamed for not trying to please each and every American.  If I find a company or a store that doesn’t offer an item I want, I vote with my wallet and find one that does.  I don’t go around seeking signatures on petitions to satisfy my narrow dietary desires.

In the on-line world special interest groups can provide a biased narrative seeking approval and signatures from people who don’t take the time to think things through. It becomes too simple to read the plea on a computer screen and say, “I guess that makes sense Р especially if Ellen agrees!”

Signing a petition is one thing. Foot traffic is a better indication. In a separate report, I found that among Americans who resolved to eat more healthfully in 2014, visits to fast-food restaurants actually increased by 10 percent. So much for the Omega 3-rich salmon; Hello Burger King!

Due to its size, McDonald’s is an easy target. More than 300,000 people have signed an on-line petition to stop the company from paying employees with debit cards rather than paper checks and more than 100,000 have signed to stop the chain from opening a store across from a kindergarten in Australia.

And how about this one?  Some 65,000 have signed a petition ordering McDonald’s to “stop torturing hens” for Egg McMuffins!

C’mon guys, if you feel that sorry for the hens, lay off the eggs and order a whole-grain pancake for breakfast.  No one ever feels sympathy for the wheat stalk.

Main Rival Rikku

Ayane is a prodigal kunoichi of the Mugen Tenshin Ninja Clan from the Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden series.

She is also a character who appears in the Dead Fantasy series, debuting in Dead Fantasy I. She was one of the first two members of "Team DOA" to appear in the series.

DOA Ayane

Ayane, as she appears in Dead or Alive Ultimate.

Ayane was conceived when her mother Ayame, the wife of the Mugen Tenshin clan leader Shiden, was raped by her brother-in-law Raidou, the progenitor of the Mugen Tenshin Clan's troubles. Due to her impure birth, Ayane was turned into an outcast, and was known as "the cursed child" of the village.

Ayane was taken in by Genra, the then leader of the Hajin Mon sect. Ayane was unaware of the circumstances of her birth until Ayame admitted everything to her later on in her life. Driven by her anger for being made into a outcast, Ayane devoted herself to become the greatest shinobi in the clan, to prove that even she, the lowly "cursed child", could become something great.

During her teenage life, Ayane faced more hardships; she was ordered to track down and kill Kasumi after her half-sister ran-away from the clan, and she had to kill her own foster father, Genra, after the Dead or Alive Tournament Executive Committee turned him into a super-human weapon. After overcoming her demons, Ayane became one of the most powerful fighters in her clan, inherited leadership of the Hajin Mon Sect from Genra, and became second-in-command to her older half-brother, Hayate.

Role in Dead FantasyEdit

Kasumi and Ayane

Ayane and Kasumi in Dead Fantasy I.

Dead Fantasy IEdit

At the beginning, Ayane and Kasumi are seen running after Yuna through an old temple and engaging in a two-to-one fight with her; Yuna is initially able to hold her own, but is nearly overwhelmed. Before Ayane tries to impale Yuna with her Tokkosho, Rikku comes to Yuna's aid, and Hitomi appears midway through battle. Ayane, Kasumi, and Hitomi start to overpower Yuna and Rikku in strength and number, before Tifa Lockhart appears, evening out the sides.

Dead Fantasy IIEdit

Ayane summoning the power of all creation.

Using different combo moves and team strategies, Team Final Fantasy easily overpower the Dead or Alive trio. Realizing they need to do something, Kasumi tells Ayane that it's time to use her magic. Ayane goes to the top of the tower, charging her ninpo power while Kasumi and Hitomi defend her. Yuna, Rikku and Tifa try to stop them but are unable to, and Ayane destroys the temple with the Art of the Raging Mountain God technique, forcing them all to fight during a vertical fall down the side of the tower.

Halfway down, Rachel, who has been waiting perched on her Warhammer, destroys the rest of the tower, making all of them fall towards a river of lava at the bottom. The fighting continues as the girls flow down stream on a slab of rock, until they hit a lava-fall. Rinoa intervenes; freezing the lava over and she, along with Kairi, join in with the battle. Rinoa then teleports the girls to different locations throughout the world by conjuring portals from the moon using Lunar Cry, with Ayane pairing off against Rikku. The movie ends with both Ayane and Rikku are teleported into an underground cavern leading to their fight in Dead Fantasy VI.

Dead Fantasy VIEdit

Ayane will be fighting one-on-one against Rikku in Dead Fantasy VI where she and Rikku are clashing with their weapons. In a recent preview, Ayane is using the Fuma Kodachi - twin blades that she uses as her primary weapon in Ninja Gaiden - instead of the Tokkosho for unknown reasons. Although it can be assumed that she switches weapons to counteract Rikku's Dresspheres.

Music VideosEdit

Ayane Sings

Ayane singing "Gee" along with the other girls.

Dead Fantasy GeeEdit

Ayane appears in the music video Dead Fantasy Gee, in which she sings and dances alongside Yuna, Kasumi, Rikku, Hitomi, Tifa, Rinoa, Kairi, and Cissnei while wearing her Japanese school gym uniform from Dead or Alive Ultimate 2.

In this video, Ayane plays the role of Choi Sooyoung of Girls' Generation.

DF Ayane

A updated render of Ayane for Dead Fantasy.

Ayane is of average height with a slender body. Her face is round, with a small button-nose and wide eyes. Her appearance is one of the most distinctive out of the Dead or Alive fighters, due to her pink eyes and straight purple hair, which is cut to the nape of her neck, has a front fringe, and is tied back with her favorite dark-purple bandana.

The outfit that Ayane wears in Dead Fantasy is her most iconic costume from Dead or Alive: A dark purple, strapless mini-dress with a pink butterfly printed on the skirt, complete with matching pull-on sleeves, stockings, heeled boots, and a giant orange bow tied around her waist. In early version, a purple choker necklace was added in Dead Fantasy, likely to cover joints in animation renders. She bears the second biggest bust on the DOA. Under her skirt, Ayane wears a pair of white panties.

In Gee, Ayane is wearing her Japanese school gym uniform from Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate. This outfit includes navy blue shorts, white ankle socks, trainers, and a white t-shirt with her name written in Japanese across her chest.

Fighting Capacity & weaponsEdit

Tifa, Kasumi, and Ayane

As she readied her attack, Kasumi and Hitomi had to defend Ayane from Team FF.

Above all, Ayane is fast, doing spinning kicks and moving quickly on her feet. She does have superior agility, being able to leap great heights in a short amount of time and jump out of the way of hits sharply. Not only is she quick but her attacks do just as much, if not more, damage as Kasumi's, making her a powerful foe to her oppenents. Ayane is the fastest character on the DOA team and is a deadly close-range fighter. She fights with her double-ended weapon, a tokkosho sword. Ayane is a little strong for digging her sword down, as shown when she was about to hit Yuna in Dead Fantasy I. Her Tokkosho is very strong and also possesses explosive properties.

Later in Dead Fantasy VI, Ayane wields her Fuma Kodachi twin blades as her main weapon to counter against Rikku's multiple dresspheres and facing Rikku's special dressphere, The Machina Maw.

She also bears great ninpo abilities, as shown in Dead Fantasy II when she destroys the solid stone tower in a great explosion, using the deadly "Art of the Raging Mountain God" technique. However, ninpo attacks like those require time to "charge up" and this leaves her open to danger, thus she needs protection from her allies for some time until she is at full power.

The Kanji used to spell Ayane's name means "Design Sound." The term can also be used to describe something that is built perfectly for its purpose. This could relate to Ayane as she is seen as a skilled, natural-born kunoichi.

Ayane and Kasumi are half-sisters; sharing the same biological mother. As children, they were close friends but after learning the circumstances of her birth, Ayane became jealous of Kasumi due to how differently they were treated; Ayane was outcasted by everyone, while her sister was treated like a princess.

Ayane was able to express her hatred when she was sent to kill her for leaving the village. She tries to keep Kasumi away from Hayate as well, not wanting to share his love with her. By the fourth Dead or Alive Tournament, Ayane may have managed to reconcile her feelings of hatred towards Kasumi somewhat. Because of this, in Dead Fantasy, the sisters can be seen fighting side-by-side rather then against each other and in Dead Fantasy ll she was saved by Kasumi when Tifa was about to get hit off the cliff.

Although Hayate and Ayane didn't know that they were half-siblings for the first few years of their lives. The connection between them is strong, albeit somewhat ambiguous. As children, Hayate was one of the few people that did not treat Ayane as a social pariah. This, combined with the man's skill, reslove, and position in the clan, led Ayane to admire Hayate greatly. Her love for Hayate was so extreme, that she was ready to commit suicide when she thought he didn't love her anymore.

Ayane's exact feelings for Hayate are a matter of debate; Her respect for him is obvious, and the friendship, familial bond the two share is apparant. Regardless, of thier exact relationship, the two remain at each others side, look out for and protecting one another.

Ryu HayabusaEdit

Ayane and Ryu worked together on many occasions. She regards Ryu with respect and has a formed working relationships with the dragon ninja.

Promotional ArtEdit

  • In Dead Fantasy II, the scene where Ayane blows up the temple is almost indentical to her Dead or Alive 4 ending, in which she blows up the DOATEC headquarters.
  • Dead Fantasy III was originally going to featuring the fight between Ayane and Rikku, but it was changed in favor of the fight between Tifa and Hitomi.
  • Ayane is the only character in Dead Fantasy that has an unrealistic hair color.
  • In Dead Fantasy II, out of all the fighters, Ayane has suffered the most hits.

I guess if we can ask that Wiffle Ball be put on television, that we have to go along with the Vintage Base Ball Federation. Jim Bouton, former major league pitcher and author of Ball Four, is starting up a league that simulates the way baseball was played in the 1800s, from the uniforms to the equipment to the way players talk to umpires.

"The game the way it was meant to be played," Bouton said during a news conference at Delmonico's, a restaurant that opened in 1836. "No batting gloves, helmets, wristbands, elbow pads, shin guards, sunglasses. No arguing with the umpire. No stepping out of the batter's box. No charging the pitcher or posing at home plate. No curtain-calling, chest-thumping or high-fiving. Just baseball."

Every now and then, it's refreshing to see someone just brazenly say, "Hey, screw progress." I've been waiting for a courageous fellow like Bouton to come along and say, yes, you can bean a helmetless batter in his head, and he won't even get a free trip to first base out of it. And I love that he isn't afraid to take a stand against the scourge of high-fiving. It has sullied America's game for far too long.

You can get in on the fun, if you'd like. Amateuer baseball and softball teams are invited to join the league. I don't know how strict they're going to be about the 19th century rules, but I think they're letting black people play this time.

week 27: cauliflower no-mac and cheese {gluten-free!}

it’s everything you love about creamy homemade mac & cheese… except the carbs!  this version is just as cheesy, loaded with lean protein, and it’s gluten free!  oh yeahhhh!!

cauliflower no mac and cheese

it’s week 27 of baby cookin’ and little judah is the size of a cauliflower.  after driving 15 hours from michigan to texas yesterday, we are finally home sweet home.  holiday craziness is almost over… just in time for baby preparation craziness to start.

after eating waaayyyy too much of this over the past week, today’s recipe is the perfect combination of “i can’t wait to start my new-year’s diet” — mixed with creamy, delicious comfort food.

week 27 pregnancy chalkboard tracker

mac & cheese. the ultimate comfort food… not so much the ultimate diet food. this recipe is the perfect combination of both worlds. a cheesy gluten-free dish packed with lean ground turkey and loaded with veggies, you don’t even miss the pasta! totally satisfying…down to the last bite i could stuff in my mouth. i couldn’t even finish my entire bowl (which is quite a rare occurrence)!

aside from being low carb and totally gluten free, this dish is also packed full of protein!  lean, muscle building protein. personal-trainer-approved mac & cheese… sign me upppp! :)

however, this recipe idea actually came about the opposite way… a friend (and training-client) of mine told me about something similar she tried while on vacation.  cauliflower mac and cheese?  i was totally intrigued.  after doing a little research, all the recipes i found were lacking the right amount of protein to be considered a complete & balanced meal.  enter ground turkey plus a few other modifications to this recipe, and it was perfect!

cauliflower no mac and cheese

the key to making creamy homemade mac & cheese is in the sauce. i used a blend of american, cheddar, and swiss along with nutritional yeast, which makes it extra cheesy tasting!  i used coconut flour as a thickener.  if you don’t have coconut flour, i tested it with brown rice flour as well and it worked perfectly fine.  if keeping it gluten-free isn’t a big deal to you, you are more than welcome to use regular flour.  however, i don’t think a denser flour (such as almond flour) would work quite the same.  stirring the cheese sauce until it thickens up (only about 7-10 min) is the hardest part to this recipe.  after that, the oven does all the work for you! :) are you convinced yet?

the baked crispy topping is really just indulgent.  it’s a combination of grated parmesan cheese and ground flaxseed.  it’s like the cherry on top of an ice cream sundae… it’s perfectly delicious without it, but it just gives it that homemade baked mac & cheese feeling! so if you’re strapped for time–or super hungry, feel free to skip the topping and baking part. you’ll feel just as satisfied.

cauliflower no mac and cheese

this recipe easily serves an entire family… i’d say 4 adults or 2 adults and 4 children.  it’s a filling, complete meal that will not leave you hungry!

or try another variation of n0-mac & cheese… made with spaghetti squash!

spaghetti squash no-mac & cheese

cauliflower no-mac and cheese {gluten-free!}

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Total Time: 50 minutes

Yield: 4 (adult-sized) servings

  • 6 cups cauliflower florets
  • 1 tbsp organic, grass-fed butter
  • 3 tbsp coconut flour (or brown-rice flour to keep it gluten free)
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 cup cooking liquid reserved from cauliflower
  • 1 clove of garlic, crushed & minced
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded american cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded swiss cheese
  • (any 1.5 cup combination of shredded cheese is fine)
  • pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 2 cups (about 8 oz) cooked lean ground turkey meat
  • for gluten free "bread crumb" topping:
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp ground flaxseeds

  1. preheat oven to 350°. bring large pot of water to a boil. add cauliflower florets, and boil about 5-7 minutes, or until just tender.
  2. meanwhile, mix together 1/4 cup parmesan cheese and 2 tbsp ground flaxseed. set aside.
  3. drain cauliflower, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid, and set aside.
  4. melt butter in same pot over medium heat. whisk in garlic, almond milk, cooking liquid, and flour, stirring constantly. cook 7 to 10 minutes, or until sauce is thickened, whisking constantly.
  5. leave pot on the heat source, but turn off burner and stir in cheese, nutritional yeast, cayenne pepper, and egg yolk until cheese is melted. mix in cooked ground turkey. fold in cauliflower.
  6. spoon mixture into oven safe individual serving ramekins or coat 13- x 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray and spread cauliflower mixture in baking dish.
  7. top with parmesan cheese mixture and bake 30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.

**if this recipe looks familiar, you’re not crazy… it is a re-post from a recipe i posted last year but got erased and was never restored–until now.  if you’ve been missing this recipe… i’m sorry.  it’s now back for good!!  :)

KSB opens new factory in Brazil

KSB_pic_2_On 18 April 2013, pumps and valves manufacturer KSB inaugurated its new factory in Jundiaí, Brazil, some 50 km north of São Paulo. The location, designed as a production site for standard pumps and valves, will begin by manufacturing ball, gate and globe valves. Once the valve production is up and running, the company will start supplying the market with standard pumps from the new location. KSB has been present in Brazil with a factory since 1954, currently has a workforce of 933, and recruits the majority of its customers from the chemical and petrochemical industries, from general industry and the water management field.

The company supplies its valves above all to Brazil’s oil and gas sector. The new factory, which has so far cost KSB € 15 million, measures a total of 100,000 square metres and accommodates two spacious production shops equipped with modern machinery, an administration and a social building. By design, all work areas offer the initial workforce of 123 the means and equipment to work energy-efficiently and with as little impact on the environment as possible. The company makes use of solar energy, waste water treatment and a rainwater storage system.
