...Smoked Turkey on a Duluth Forge Kamado Grill The traditional Thanksgiving dinner is turkey, cranberry sauce and stuffing. Some people throw in sweet potatoes with marshmellows and green bean casserole with the fried onions on top but it's really the turkey that is the star of the show. The First Thanksgiving in 1621 between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Indians at Plymouth Colony had native wild turkeys that were slowly roasted over an open wood fire. Why Turkey is perfect for smoking on a Kamado? Turkeys are usually roasted in an oven for hours, while the chef makes the rest of the dinner. The oven is being dominated by the main event so planning the rest of the dinner around the turkey can be stressful. The most valuable real estate in the kitchen on Thanksgiving Day is the oven and taking the turkey outside to the grill frees up the oven for other dishes like stuffing....

...mood states that affect their collective decision making? By extension is the public mood correlated or even predictive of economic indicators? Here we investigate whether measurements of collective mood states derived from large-scale Twitter feeds are correlated to the value of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) over time. We analyze the text content of daily Twitter feeds by two mood tracking tools, namely OpinionFinder that measures positive vs. negative mood and Google-Profile of Mood States (GPOMS) that measures mood in terms of 6 dimensions (Calm, Alert, Sure, Vital, Kind, and Happy). We cross-validate the resulting mood time series by comparing their ability to detect the public’s response to the presidential election and Thanksgiving day in 2008. A Granger causality analysis and a Self-Organizing Fuzzy Neural Network are then used to investigate the hypothesis that public mood states, as measured by the OpinionFinder and GPOMS mood time series, are predictive of changes in DJIA closing values. Our results indicate that the accuracy of DJIA predictions can be significantly improved by the inclusion of specific public mood dimensions but not others. We find an accuracy of 87.6% in predicting the daily up and down changes in the closing values of the DJIA and a reduction of the Mean Average Percentage Error by more than 6%.

...Introduction Suicide, also known as completed suicide, is the "act of taking one's own life" (Stedman's medical dictionary (28th ed.). Philadelphia: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. 2006.ISBN 978-0-7817-3390-8.) Suicide is often carried out as a result of despair, the cause of which is frequently attributed to a mental disorder such as depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder,[ Paris, J (June 2002). "Chronic suicidality among patients with borderline personality disorder".Psychiatric services (Washington, D.C.) 53 (6): 738–42.doi:10.1176/appi.ps.53.6.738.

There are growing concerns about the rate of suicide in Jamaica. Government-compiled data reveal that the number of Jamaicans who attempt to take their own lives is alarmingly high. Between 1999 and 2009, there were 627 reported cases of suicide. Persons from the 10-19 and 20-29 age brackets accounted for the lion's share of attempted suicide cases, with the 30-34 age cohort not far off the pace. Persons in the age 10-19 cohort accounted for 619 cases of attempted suicide, while 575 of those aged 20 to 29 tried to kill themselves while persons in the 46-and-over age cohort account for the bulk of actual suicides recorded between 1999 and 2009..(Dr. Donovan Thomas et al Confronting Suicide: Helping Teens at Risk | Publisher...

...Difference between contract law, tort law, and common law. * Contract law refers to written agreements and oral promises * General principles of contract law determine whether an employer-employee relationship exists and what remedies apply to breach of the employment agreement. * A contract has three elements, offer, acceptance and consideration. * Tort law refers to any wrongdoing * A tort is a wrong for which there is legal remedy. * Tort law is a branch of civil law and covers wrong and damages that one person or company cause to another independent of any contractual relationship between them. * Tort can be deliberate or negligent. In order to establish negligent tort, the plaintiff must prove 1 that the defendant owed the plaintiff duty of care, 2 the duty of care was breached, and 3 the plaintiff suffered foreseeable damages as a result. * Common law is the legal system used predominantly in Canada – it derives from England * It is precedent-based law, where we follow past court decisions and existing laws (known as statutes) * Laws must be followed by all citizens, governments, and courts * Within each law is a REGULATION, which are enforcement tools of the law * E.g. Employment Standards Code is a law in AB, but its regulations actually enforce the law (carry it out) * For employment matters, contract law is important because there is an EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT between an employer and employee. * For employment...

...Basic Techniques for Propagating Plants Many types of plants in and around the home can easily be propagated using fairly simple, inexpensive procedures. Today’s demonstration will highlight a few of the basic and most widely applicable techniques for vegetative propagation of plants. Some of these techniques can be used for houseplants, annual flowers, and bedding plants, whereas other techniques are more effective for woody ornamental trees and shrubs, ground covers, and vines. There are many reasons for propagating plants. One basic reason is simply to make multiple plants from a single plant. Another reason is to make a young attractive plant from an old, leggy plant. Other reasons are to propagate a particular plant because of its unique or attractive features and to propagate plants for sentimental reasons. Regardless of the reason for propagating plants, there are some basic factors that are useful to ensure success: * use only healthy, vigorous source plants; * use the most appropriate method, growth stage, and timing for the plant; * protect propagation material from heat and from drying; use the material as quickly as possible after it is prepared; * give newly propagated plants extra attention and care during their establishment phase; TECHNIQUES: The demonstration will focus on techniques for vegetative propagation of plants. Plants propagated using these methods have the same characteristics as the parent or source plant since vegetative material...
