O interessante de procurar ser uma pessoa forte é que, você tem que viver de renúncias o tempo inteiro. O trágico não é abrir mão das coisas, mas descobrir o segredo da arte de juntar: você tem que saber conduzir todas as situações de modo que, qualquer mal- entendido, possa ser resolvido sem que isso gere problemas incontornáveis entre amigos e inimigos. Você deve sempre ter um espírito alegre, nada de ficar magoado com pouca coisa- resolva deixar no esquecimento o que por vezes o desagrada, é melhor. Pessoas fortes buscam triunfos. Por isso, é importante que atenção esteja voltada à nossa frente. Saber aonde quer chegar, é o que determina quem somos.

Cyborg Cockroaches? What in the Creepy Crawlers is Going on?

From Behind the Pen

Image Source: The Indian Express

OK, I think most of us are not too keen on cockroaches, waterbugs, or whatever you want to call those paraphyletic groups of insects. They give many of us the heebie-jeebies, especially when we turn on the lights and find one furiously scurrying to quickly locate a hiding spot away from the sole of a homicidal shoe. So when I was reading an article about cyborg cockroaches coming to a disaster area near you, I thought, “what in the night crawlers is going on?”

So, here’s the deal. In the not-too-distant future, if an earthquake strikes and survivors are trapped under tons of rubble, the first responders to locate them could be a swarm of cyborg cockroaches. Yep, you heard me right, cyborg cockroaches.

Bleu Cheese Ball

When I worked for a caterer eons ago, we figured out how to grow/culture our own – it was heaven!

snapshotsincursive

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Bright Ideas: Bleu Cheese Ball! I’ll never forget my first taste of bleu cheese. I was having dinner with my father in a charming restaurant nestled along the Mississippi River in the heart of Nauvoo, Illinois. The waiter came over and offered us a complimentary tasting of their claim to fame, bleu cheese. It was aged in the local wine cellars, he boasted, while pouring a taste of wine for the perfect pairing. One bite, one sip and I was in love. My father, on the other hand, wrinkled his nose and said the cheese tasted like old socks. Needless to say, I finished his portion.

BLEU CHEESE BALL

8 ounces Neufchâtel cheese, softened

4 ounces bleu cheese, crumbled

1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Green onion snips

Owner of Farm Labor Contracting Company Pleads Guilty in Racketeering Conspiracy Involving the Forced Labor of Mexican Workers | OPA | Department of Justice

According to court documents, Moreno owned, operated and managed Los Villatoros Harvesting (LVH), a farm labor contracting company, that functioned as a criminal enterprise compelling victims to work in Florida, Kentucky, Indiana, Georgia and North Carolina. After charging Mexican farm workers exorbitant sums to come into the United States on short-term, H-2A, agricultural visas to work for LVH, Moreno and his co-conspirators coerced over a dozen workers into providing long hours of physically demanding agricultural labor, six to seven days a week, for de minimis pay. Moreno and his co-conspirators used various coercive means, including imposing debts on workers; confiscating the workers’ passports; subjecting workers to crowded, unsanitary and degrading living conditions; verbally abusing and humiliating the workers; threatening workers with arrest, jailtime and deportation; isolating workers by preventing them from interacting with anyone other than LVH employees; and threatening to physically harm the workers’ family members back in Mexico if the workers failed to comply with their demands. In addition to conspiring to subject H-2A workers to forced labor, Moreno and his coconspirators also harbored H-2A workers in the United States after their visas had expired for financial gain and committed visa fraud and fraud in foreign labor contracting.

Earlier this year, three co-defendants who had worked for Moreno and assisted him in operating LVH pleaded guilty to related offenses. Christina Gamez, 43, a U.S. citizen, who worked for LVH as a bookkeeper, manager and supervisor, pleaded guilty to RICO conspiracy. Efrain Cabrera Rodas, 32, a citizen of Mexico, who worked for LVH as a recruiter, manager and supervisor, also pleaded guilty to RICO conspiracy. Guadalupe Mendes Mendoza, 45, a citizen of Mexico, who worked for LVH as a manager and supervisor, pleaded guilty to conspiring to obstruct a federal investigation.

Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Filosofa's Word

Yesterday was International Day For The Total Elimination Of Nuclear Weapons.  No, I am not making this up and yes, I am serious.

Following the High-level Meeting on Nuclear Disarmament held at the United Nations on 26 September 2013, the General Assembly adopted resolution A/RES/68/32 calling for “the urgent commencement of negotiations in the Conference on Disarmament for the early conclusion of a comprehensive convention on nuclear weapons to prohibit their possession, development, production, acquisition, testing, stockpiling, transfer, use or threat of use and to provide for their destruction.”

Resolution 68/32 also declares 26 September “as the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons devoted to furthering this objective, including through enhancing public awareness and education about the threat posed to humanity by nuclear weapons and the necessity for their total elimination, in order to mobilize international efforts towards achieving the common goal of a nuclear-weapon-free world”.
