After Danny Danon got the United Nations last year to recognize Yom Kippur as an official UN holiday, Danon is working to make the UN more Jew, or Israel, friendly.

Danon has sent a letter to Ban Ki-Moon, the Secretary General of the United Nations, saying that despite the numerous Jews working in various capacities in the United Nations and Jewish diplomats from various nations, there is no kosher food to be found in the United Nations cafeteria. All citizens of the world should feel desired in the UN. Читать дальше...

I'm spring-boarding off the Very British Problems brand, which is excellent in case you haven't heard of it.  (It's on Amazon/Acorn if you haven't seen it.)

Anyway, over at the UK Huffington Post, I've compiled a list of the problems Brits in America face on a day to day basis.

Hope you like it.

There is a continuing tradition of giving dating back to ancient history. Gifts are given for a number of reasons to be the most popular type of a person in a group, or appreciate someone during a ceremony. In the twentieth century, a new idea of ​​giving the business world is introduced when commercial companies have begun to realize the benefits, which could be achieved by giving gifts to existing and new customers. The idea came from promotional items.

Book Review by Sylvia D:
Walter de la Mare is probably best known as a writer of children’s stories and for his poem, The Listeners, but he also published a number of psychological horror stories. One of these, The Return, was first published in 1910 and then revised in 1922. The slim edition I read was yet another revision from 1945. What I thought was going to be a quick read turned out to be printed in dense type on very thin utility paper and the novel is in fact 248 pages long. Much of... Читать дальше...

Glaciers covered much of Europe around 20,000 years ago. But that was their peak, called the Last Glacial Maximum. After that, they began retreating and Europe began warming. Humans exploited this change, spreading north into places previously covered by ice. It seemed that things were looking up for Homo sapiens. Despite this, cannibalism made a comeback.

Autumn is my favorite time of the year. 
Most days start fresh and bright, and yes sometimes a little chilly, but it's nothing that wellies and a lightweight fleece can't cope with.  The dogs run around the paddock after their breakfast with the long wet grass getting soaking up to their tummies ... the downside to being only a foot or so tall  ... poor things, while I stroll and ponder on the day.
There's still harvesting to be done and ...

On Sept. 26, the Brewers Association announced that one of their major governmental priorities, the Craft Beverage Modernization and Tax Reform Act, had hit a milestone.

Diet Doctor is already the world's largest low-carb site, and it keeps growing. Just a week after the last visitor record we had another one yesterday: Over 105,000 visits in one day. This site is now roughly three times as popular as a year ago.

A reader wanted to know who I'd recommend as trustworthy expositors of the Old Testament texts, particularly the prophetic texts and especially Daniel.

Admittedly, Daniel is a difficult text to understand in parts, though with the Holy Spirit's help in illuminating it and because scripture interprets scripture, it's not impossible to understand.
OT sermons and commentaries are definitely hard to find. Or rather, they are easy to find but you wouldn't want to read some of them because they twist the scripture so badly! Читать дальше...

I've used some products from the 'Good Things' range before and have always been impressed so when a few products from the brand came popping through my door from their 'Porefectly Clear' Charcoal Range, I ditched my usual skincare routine for the night and used these straight away.

So first off, I used the face mask. It was a muddy gray color and didn't really smell of anything. It sat on the skin for about 20 ...

Hello my sweet friends! I hope that everyone had a wonderful week/weekend :) As y'all know, I took last week off from around here to focus on studying and I have to say...it paid off! I got an A on my first neuroanatomy exam, which is a major relief! I have to admit, even though I only post 2 days a week, I missed being here. That being said, let's get into today's post, shall we?
I've been hearing and seeing this little phrase on ...

It was a perfect day in Florence as Michelle and I headed out into the Tuscan countryside, for truffle hunting, and wine tasting . Hilary, our vivacious guide and sommelier extraordinaire, drove us in true Italian style, racing through the busy streets of the city, dodging scooters and tourists, and up the winding hills into the beautiful countryside. Lush green hills interlaced with vineyards, forests and olive groves sped past us as we made our way to San Miniato, a hillside village in the Arno... Читать дальше...

Lately we have been eating lots of Strawberry and Cream.  We love Korean strawberries as it is sweet, unfortunately it is only in March you get to have good ones.

Those from Australia and US are not as sweet and sometime you get sourish ones.  Since now it is on sales and I found a way to make it acceptable to my fussy daughter who simply refused anything sour.

I served this during my recent gathering with some friends.  Even a friend who does not like cream stuff, asked for second helping.

*This tasting and seminar took place just hours before the earthquake.  My thoughts go out to the people of Umbria and LeMarch. If you would like to help in the relief efforts visit Italian American Relief or the Italian Red Cross.

Umbria is located in the middle of Italy. It borders Tuscany to the north, Le Marche to the east and Lazio to the west. It has rainy winters and sunny summers. It is referred to as  "Green Heart of Italy" because of  the rolling hills and ancient towns.

Hitters are stupid …

… but they get significantly smarter as the count turns in their favor!

The game of baseball has forever favored pitchers.  If it favored hitters, all fences would be 300 feet.  There wouldn’t be 9 players on defense either. I could go on but the point is that the way baseball is structured favors the pitcher.  That’s why none of the best hitters in baseball are currently hitting above .350 as of today.

Pitchers have the advantage in that they get to choose the type of pitch... Читать дальше...

(The photo of Clinton and Trump at the debate is from cnn.com.)

The first presidential debate is over. My initial reaction is that Hillary Clinton did much better than I expected her to do -- and Donald Trump did much worse than I expected him to do. I thought Trump would try to act more presidential, and refrain from his urge to go off on tangents. But evidently, Trump really can't control himself.

From Think Progress:

School officials are investigating a group of white North Dakota college students after they posted a picture of themselves in blackface with the caption “Black lives matter.”
According to Raw Story, a group of female students at the University of North Dakota (UND) are facing potential reprimand after the image was uploaded to Facebook. The incident comes just days after three other white UND students reportedly

Some presidential polls have shown recently that the race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump is getting closer. I'm not ready to get worried, because I'm convinced that most Americans understand that Trump would be a terrible president. And that view is somewhat verified by this recent poll (see the chart above), which shows that 51% of voters think he would make a poor / terrible president (while only 39% think that of ...
