Black sandwich with bacon from black Slavonian pig new gastronomic delicacy of Vukovar-Srijem County
Along with the already well-known Slavonian specialties (kulen, ham, sausage, greaves…), bacon was somehow in the background, and it is with this project that the goal is to popularize bacon through a new product. “Black Slavonian pig feeds ecologically and produces ecological, quality meat. Today’s promotion of the Black Sandwich shows that we in Slavonia have very good and quality products, and the black Slavonian pig, as we say fajferica, is certainly one of the better “, said Vukovar-Srijem County Prefect Božo Galić for Novosti.hr Fried black pork bacon was served in the black pastry, which was found to have a more special taste than the bacon of other pigs, and was proven to have good cholesterol. The goal is to introduce these sandwiches, as a recognizable part of the catering offer of Vukovar-Srijem County. The black sandwich consists of: black Slavonian pork bacon, black hamburger, lettuce, tomato, cheese and fried egg. As part of the 54th Vinkovci Autumns, a promotion of the BLACK SANDWICH (black sandwich with bacon from black Slavonian pigs), a new gastronomic delicacy of Vukovar-Srijem County, was held yesterday in Vinkovci. 
According to the announcements from Vukovar-Srijem County, the interest of caterers for the black sandwich is great, especially since sufficient quantities of bacon are provided through the VSŽ Agrocluster, and the Black Sandwich should be in a wider offer from next year. In order for the black sandwich to reach the customer as soon as possible, the plan is to start promoting the black sandwich. The visual identity of the black sandwich was created by the famous Croatian comic book author Dubravko Mataković. Photo: Fajferica

A new report has revealed a shortfall in affordable rental properties.But most households in lower income brackets — particularly those reliant on government allowances — are facing significant rental stress if they have to rely on the private rental market.The median rent for a one bedroom property in Brisbane continues to exceed 100 per cent of the entire weekly income of a young person over 18 on Youth Allowance.The median advertised rent for a room in a shared rental property was $180 a week in Brisbane in 2018 — $15 a week more than last year, and representing 73 per cent of Youth Allowance.The situation is only marginally better for those on minimum income. Kasy Chambers, executive director of Anglicare Australia.“It doesn’t have to be this way. We are calling for an urgent investment in affordable rentals for people in need.“And we need a national plan to make renting fair for a generation of people who might never own their own home.” Picture: Toby ZernaCouples with both partners on the minimum wage were in the ‘best’ position, according to the report, with a three-bedroom property in Brisbane absorbing 32 per cent of their household income.Anglicare Australia executive director Kasy Chambers said the rental crisis was getting worse.“Almost all of our major cities have become unaffordable for people on low incomes, but this Snapshot also shows that regional areas failing to offer relief,” Ms Chambers said.“There is a huge shortage of secure, affordable rentals. That’s causing record levels of rental stress and even homelessness. A new report has found a shortfall of affordable rental properties.Despite a doubling of rental stock over the past decade, the report found significant gentrification in the city’s rental market had contributed to continuing rental unaffordability.“If these trends continue, with increased population growth projections for Brisbane and in many locations across the state for at least the next two decades, the issue of affordability will become ever more pressing, and the risks of not doing enough, even greater,” the report stated.

You were right!US media 5x more likely to promote same-sex marriage viewpoints Pew Research Center 17 June 2013 In a period marked by Supreme Court deliberations on the subject, the news media coverage provided a strong sense of momentum towards legalizing same-sex marriage, according to a new study by the Pew Research Center. Stories with more statements supporting same-sex marriage outweighed those with more statements opposing it by a margin of roughly 5-to-1.In the coverage studied, the central argument among proponents of same-sex marriage was one of civil rights. Arguments against were more varied, but most often voiced the idea that same-sex marriage would hurt society and the institution of traditional marriage.Almost half (47%) of the nearly 500 stories studied from March 18 (a week prior to the Supreme Court hearings), through May 12, primarily focused on support for the measure, while 9% largely focused on opposition and 44% had a roughly equal mix of both viewpoints or were neutral. In order for a story to be classified as supporting or opposing same sex marriage, statements expressing that position had to outnumber the opposite view by at least 2-to-1. Stories that did not meet that threshold were defined as neutral or mixed. http://www.journalism.org/analysis_report/news_coverage_conveys_strong_momentumAnd from NZ
I know a lot of people are excited about the NBA playoffs which are now underway. The only reason I will check the scores is because the Pacers have made the playoffs this year.To me pro basketball really has no rules. The referees don’t ever call traveling. If you are a star, you will never get charging called on you. The only time there is strategy in the game is the pivotal game in a series. Otherwise, it is the “stars” who shoot and the others must pass the ball to him.I am still a purest when it comes to basketball. It is supposed to be a game of 5 on 5 with plays, defense, & strategy. I fail to find any of these in a typical pro game.

Pruett quoted the first Republican president and, former Hoosier, Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address where Lincoln stated that our nation is “a government of the people, by the people and for the people.” But he went on to say we have become a government “Of the rich, by the rich and for the rich.” The candidate explained that he had nothing against being rich, but to have a strong representative government people from all backgrounds must be at the table. “We the people govern our country. Everyone is a part of America and everyone is a part of the American dream.” Finally Mr. Pruett stressed that “we must bring the people back to the power. And with your help that is what I intend to do.”The 60 year old candidate recognized his wife of nearly 40 years, his children and their partners, and his 6 year old Grandson.

MPA approves golf, XC, field hockey, soccer; football, volleyball moved to spring – September 10, 2020 Ellsworth runners compete in virtual Boston Marathon – September 16, 2020 Bio PORTLAND — The Bucksport football team reached this year’s state title game by using its size advantage to plow through opponents. Facing a much tougher — and faster — foe Saturday afternoon, the Golden Bucks’ Gold Ball push ended in heartbreak.Bucksport suffered a 28-8 defeat to Lisbon in Saturday’s Class D championship game at Fitzpatrick Stadium in Portland. The loss was a crushing end to a special season for the Golden Bucks, who fell one win short of claiming their first state title since 2004.“I don’t think we played anywhere near what we’re capable of playing, but you’ve got to give Lisbon a lot of credit because they played very well,” Bucksport head coach Joel Sankey said. “They’re fast, and they executed very well, and we didn’t. … We made too many mistakes.”Bucksport got off to a rough start to the game as Class D South No. 2 Lisbon (8-3) intercepted a pass from Brady Findlay and took the ball to midfield. The Greyhounds then drove the ball to the red zone, where they took a 7-0 lead on a 17-yard pass from Seth Leeman to Justin Le with 7 minutes, 22 seconds remaining in the first quarter.This is placeholder textThis is placeholder textAlthough Bucksport (9-1) stalled in the red zone on its ensuing drive, the Golden Bucks took an 8-7 lead with 3:44 left in the half via a 1-yard touchdown plunge and successful 2-point conversion run from Jaxon Gross. The lead didn’t last long, though, as Leeman ran for a 55-yard touchdown on the next play from scrimmage to put the Greyhounds up 14-8 heading into the break.“We’ve generally been a grind-it-out team, so the fact that we were able to score quickly in a couple scenarios was huge for our confidence,” Lisbon head coach Chris Kates said. “When a team is running it successfully against you like [Bucksport was doing], getting that confidence back up allows you to keep fighting.”The second half started off better for Bucksport, which halted a Lisbon drive to the red zone with a Jake Guty interception before moving the ball to midfield. Yet the Golden Bucks would be forced into a passing situation on third-and-long after being flagged for holding, and the Greyhounds capitalized by intercepting Findlay again to regain possession.(From left) Bucksport’s David Gross, Dawson Eaton and Gavin Billings react following Bucksport’s 28-8 loss to Lisbon in the Class D championship football game Nov. 23 at Fitzpatrick Stadium in Portland. The Golden Bucks finished the year 9-1. ELLSWORTH AMERICAN PHOTO BY MIKE MANDELLThe Greyhounds then capped off a touchdown drive with a 1-yard run from Le to stretch the lead to 21-8 with 2:15 left in the third quarter. Lisbon’s defense kept Bucksport from establishing any sort of momentum in the fourth and put the result beyond doubt with 1:51 to play on a 53-yard touchdown run from Daytona McIver.Lisbon’s first and third touchdowns came as Leeman led the Greyhounds to a pair of key fourth-down conversions; the quarterback’s pass to Le for the opening score took place on fourth-and-7, and Le’s rushing touchdown in the third quarter came after Leeman completed another fourth-and-long throw to take Lisbon to the 1-yard line.The Greyhounds were also successful at running the ball outside the tackles. Whereas Bucksport had been able to set the edge and limit outside runs against its Little Ten Conference opponents, the Golden Bucks found it difficult to keep pace defensively against a quick Lisbon team that averaged nearly 8 yards per carry in the win.“We had some breakdowns on defense,” Sankey said. “That’s what happens when you play these spread teams: They take their best athlete and put him at quarterback, where he can throw the ball and run the ball. Unless you’re very disciplined and do your keys and do what you’re supposed to do, that’s what happens.”Gross finished with 210 rushing yards on 35 carries for Bucksport, which totaled 270 yards as a team. Lisbon, which claimed its first state title since 2006 and 11th overall, had 264 yards of offense. Riley Quatrano had both interceptions for the Greyhounds on defense.Bucksport’s eight points scored were its fewest in a game all season, and its 28 allowed were its most. The Golden Bucks’ previous low for points scored and high for points allowed both came Oct. 11 against Oak Hill, which they beat 21-14 in their only prior showdown with a Class D South team this season.Next season, Bucksport will return its talented running back trio of Gross, Ty Giberson and Josh Miller as well as wide receivers Logan Stanley and Tyler Hallett and linemen Gavin Billings and Julian Shook, among others. Yet Saturday’s defeat marked the final game for a talented group of seniors that included Findlay, linemen Dawson Eaton and David Gross and tight end Cam Soper.“They’re a great group,” Sankey said. “They worked hard, and they deserve everything they got. They’re great kids.” Latest Posts

Published on November 23, 2013 at 7:45 pm Contact Trevor: tbhass@syr.edu | @TrevorHass A game of pinball nearly sent Syracuse bowling.The ball deflected off Tyler Boyd’s forearm, ricocheted off Ri’Shard Anderson and mysteriously floated into Luke Arciniega’s outstretched arms.Syracuse was given an extra life once again, but once again the offense failed to boost its score. Once again, the defense kept the Orange (5-6, 3-4 Atlantic Coast) in the game despite an inconsistent, inefficient late-game performance by the injury-ridden offense in SU’s 17-16 loss to Pittsburgh.Just as it did against Wake Forest, Maryland and North Carolina State, SU’s defense pressured the quarterback, whizzed around the field making tackles and generally stunted Pittsburgh’s (6-5, 3-4) lengthy drives. Durell Eskridge and Cameron Lynch led the way in front of 35,317 in the Carrier Dome on Saturday.But Pittsburgh is bowling and Syracuse will have to wait another week to try and do the same.AdvertisementThis is placeholder text“We owe basically the season to them,” Syracuse center Macky MacPherson said of the defense. “They’re playing their butts off.”The first flicker of defensive dominance came on Pittsburgh’s second drive. Brandon Reddish swooped in untouched from the right side and sent quarterback Tom Savage into the ground. Savage just got the pass away, but the ball sailed over Boyd’s head.On the Panthers’ next drive, Lynch, Marquis Spruill and Robert Welsh flew forward in Savage’s direction. Lynch got to him first, mauling him for a loss of 11. Two plays later, Lynch was at it again, sacking Savage for a loss of 5.The SU defense — ignited by the energized Eskridge and Lynch — limited Pittsburgh to a field goal. The Panthers were on the field nearly two-thirds of the time in the first half. Savage knew Syracuse’s front seven was stacked with playmakers, so he adjusted his game plan accordingly.“It was just to get the ball out,” Savage said. “They are a physical team and they blitz a lot.”Pittsburgh’s attack was full of 5-yard passes to the outside. Boyd led the attack and wide receiver Manasseh Garner complemented him nicely, seeing an increased role with the loss of Devin Street.But early on, each time Savage and the Pitt offense embarked on a long, methodical drive, the defense thwarted it. The Orange held Pittsburgh out of the end zone for the game’s first 27 minutes. While Syracuse’s offense struggled to score, the defense kept SU within striking distance.“They do basic things,” Eskridge said. “They like to run the ball, throw it in the flats. As you saw, they threw a lot of short stuff so you’ve just got to rally to that and try to make a play for your team.”The Panthers didn’t complete a pass longer than 17 yards the entire game. They never ran for more than 14. Savage finished with fewer yards per attempt and yards per completion than Terrel Hunt.At the end of the third quarter, the Orange’s defense cracked, allowing a 5-yard touchdown run to Isaac Bennett to give Pitt a 17-16 lead.From there, the defense returned to form. Savage threw for just 3 yards in the fourth quarter. Every time the SU offense failed to take the lead, the defense gave it another chance.Arciniega’s interception came first. It gave Syracuse the ball near midfield with a chance to reclaim the lead.“It was kind of a crazy play,” Syracuse head coach Scott Shafer said. “So I was proud of the fact that the kids kept fighting.”It was the game-changer the offense needed. Field-goal range was approaching. The Orange only needed three. But Ryan Norton shanked a 41-yarder wide right.Again, though, the defense wreaked havoc and made Savage’s life miserable. One ineffective run, a short gain and an incompletion later and the SU offense was back on the field once again.No dice.No offense for either team.Savage lofted a pass that sailed just past Garner’s fingertips, leading to a punt. The defense, as it did all game, gave the offense a chance to go bowling.But there was no pinball wizardry. Syracuse was late with the flipper. Pitt called a timeout before Sam Rodgers could snap the ball for a fake field-goal attempt. Then Hunt threw an incompletion as the ball trickled away.Now Syracuse is down to its last life.“We’ve got to get more points on the board for this defense,” MacPherson said, “because they play so hard and they force turnovers and they stop them and we don’t do enough for them.” Comments Facebook Twitter Google+
