We try to approve as many applicants as possible but we only have a limited amount of funds to use for the subsidy portion.

Through our Building Blocks centers we are able to provide the best quality of care they would get at a larger city center. The elected officials of the AST want to provide as many services to our members as possible and readily available child care in both locations will make that a reality for many. The Absentee Shawnee have two historical bands in the Shawnee and Little Axe areas and that is where most of our people are concentrated. Many Native Americans in Oklahoma, especially Absentee Shawnee, prefer to stay in these rural areas where they grew up. By providing child care in these smaller and rural areas we are allowing our Native people the opportunity to avoid taking their children to the cities and allowing them to stay closer to their homes. Many Native Americans in Oklahoma live in rural areas and work in the larger cities. We also provide Tribal Subsidy to Native Americans in our service area which includes the Oklahoma City and Norman, OK urban areas. We provide these services through our Building Blocks II Child Development Center in Shawnee, OK and soon to open Building Blocks III Child Development Center in Little Axe, OK.

Transportation equipment, such as cars and trucks, is capital. Tools such as hammers, screwdrivers, and wrenches are also capital. Modern versions of the first stone tools include saws, meat cleavers, hooks, and grinders all are used in butchering animals. Those tools were the first capital because they were produced for use in producing other goods-food and clothing. We know that very early on, however, they began shaping stones into tools, apparently for use in butchering animals. Long ago, when the first human beings walked the earth, they produced food by picking leaves or fruit off a plant or by catching an animal and eating it. The other is to increase the amount of human capital possessed by workers. One is to increase the total quantity of labor, either by increasing the number of people available to work or by increasing the average number of hours of work per week. The amount of labor available to an economy can be increased in two ways. Children who are learning to read are acquiring human capital. ![]() Workers who are gaining skills through experience or through training are acquiring human capital. Students who are attending a college or university are acquiring human capital. The skills a worker has as a result of education, training, or experience that can be used in production are called human capital. It is the natural ability an untrained, uneducated person brings to a particular production process. The first is the human equivalent of a natural resource. In some contexts, it is useful to distinguish two forms of labor. People who would like to work but have not found employment-who are unemployed-are also considered part of the labor available to the economy. People who work to repair tires, pilot airplanes, teach children, or enforce laws are all part of the economy’s labor. Labor is human effort that can be applied to production. As economists began to grapple with the problems of scarcity, choice, and opportunity cost two centuries ago, they focused on these concepts, just as they are likely to do two centuries hence. We will then look at the roles played by technology and entrepreneurs in putting these factors of production to work. The three basic building blocks of labor, capital, and natural resources may be used in different ways to produce different goods and services, but they still lie at the core of production. ![]() In the next three sections, we will take a closer look at the factors of production we use to produce the goods and services we consume. Natural resources are the resources of nature that can be used for the production of goods and services. Office buildings, machinery, and tools are examples of capital. Capital is a factor of production that has been produced for use in the production of other goods and services. People who are employed or would like to be are considered part of the labor available to the economy. Labor is the human effort that can be applied to the production of goods and services. The factors of production in an economy are its labor, capital, and natural resources. Ultimately, then, an economy’s factors of production create utility they serve the interests of people. The value, or satisfaction, that people derive from the goods and services they consume and the activities they pursue is called utility.

However, Ángela may be of far more use to them than they originally believed, as they discover when they watch her found footage, and witness the final encounter that took place between her and the monster in the darkness… 1:15: by Jaume Balaguer, Paco Plaza Publication date 2007 Topics REC, spanish, horror Language Spanish A television reporter and cameraman follow emergency workers into a dark apartment building and are quickly locked inside with something terrifying. In fact, when Ángela breaks free of her hospital bed straps and teams up, temporarily, with a member of the SWAT team who has also been taken, she discovers that the happy crew is in fact on the ocean waves, with a team of scientists working desparately on an anti-viral serum to combat the affliction. Ranked among the best found-footage horror film alongside The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity, Spain's REC is an. I can figure out which streaming services it’s available on, but. A SWAT team is about to burn the building to the ground when Ángela emerges and, when it seems that she is apparently uninfected, she is taken to a laboratory, location unknown, so that final tests may be completed, to ensure she is completely free of the terrible virus that turns humans into ravenous monsters, with the infection passed by their bite and the only way to stop them a shot (or worse) to the head. I really want to rewatch REC but I feel like I’m losing my mind trying to find a version in the original Spanish with English subtitles I accidentally bought a digital copy on Amazon misleadingly called REC ESP that is dubbed in English and doesn’t even have subtitles. Horror beyond horror So, happy horror hounds such as myself have been waiting for quite some time now for the definitive final installment of Catalonian and Spanish directors Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza‘s terrifying descent into darkness that began with (2007), continued with 2 (2009), and then was followed by the perhaps somewhat ill-advised 3: Genesis (2012), which tangentally moved the action away from the doomed tenement building of the first two films, switching the style to ‘found-footage’ of a wedding afflicted by a similar terror.Well, we’re back to minutes after the end of part two here, as late-night TV host Ángela Vidal (Manuela Velasco), whose insistence to ‘keep on filming’ ends with her being dragged into the depths by the entity that is, apparently, responsible for the horror that has engulfed a Spanish tenament building, emerges from the horror terribly shaken but otherwise unscathed. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is also the second wettest spring (March through May) on record with 25.05 inches.

![]() VirusBarrier X9 offers solid performance and optimization on the Mac. VirusBarrier X9: My main interest in Intego Internet Security X9 is for VirusBarrier to replace Webroot. Intego’s apps generally run on Macs dating back to Mountain Lion. I purchased a three Mac license and tested these on an iMac Pro running macOS Catalina and on iMac running High Sierra. Here is a review of each of Intego’s major apps. I took the Intego Premium Bundle X9 for a trial, and I ultimately ended up with Intego Mac Internet Security X9 and standalone Washing Machine X9. Intego has been building antivirus software for the Mac since 1997, and I’ve known firsthand their apps are fully optimized for Macs and offer excellent performance. ![]() I finally decided to move back to Intego, the antivirus software I used when I first switched to the Mac back in 2006. I’ve had Webroot Support reinstall the app twice, and I still suffered from kernel panics and overall issues with performance. While I do practice common-sense security practices, I am required to run some form of endpoint protection on my Macs since I use them for work and school purposes. ![]() ![]() However, since upgrading to macOS Catalina, I have had major performance issues with Webroot.

Heat about an inch of oil in a skillet over medium high heat until it’s shimmering. (Your oven should still be hot from the biscuits! You’ll keep your fried chicken pieces in the oven to stay warm and crispy while you finish setting your table or wiping kids’ butts or whatever it is you have to do while you try to make dinner.) I double dipped each piece to get lots of crunch (so dip once more in the egg and then the crackers.) Set aside till you’re done with all the pieces before frying. Dip the thighs in the flour first, then the egg/buttermilk mixture, then the cracker crumbs. Take the chicken out and pat dry with paper towels. Transfer the contents of the bowl to a gallon-sized zipper-lock freezer bag and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, and up to overnight, flipping the bag occasionally to redistribute the contents and coat the chicken evenly. Add the chicken pieces and toss and turn to coat. Bake until golden, 12 to 15 minutes.ġ pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs trimmed and cut in halfīuttermilk brine (we use Serious Eat’s Southern Fried Chicken for nearly every fried chicken recipe we do):Ģ tablespoons freshly ground black pepperġ box Chicken in a Biskit crackers, pulsed fine in a food processorĬombine the paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and cayenne in a small bowl and mix thoroughly with a fork.Whisk the buttermilk, egg, 1 tablespoon salt, and 2 tablespoons of the spice mixture in a large bowl. Dip the top of each round in melted butter and arrange on the baking sheet. Gather dough scraps and continue to make rounds. Cut into rounds, 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Turn dough onto a floured surface, mound it into a ball and, using your hands, press it to a thickness of about 3/4 inch. (I ended up using two additional tablespoons, or half the unused cream.) If the dough is not soft or easily handled, fold in the remaining 1/4 cup cream, little by little. Sift two cups flour, the baking powder, salt and (if using) sugar into a large bowl. Melt butter in a small pot or microwave dish, and set aside. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Enjoy and let me know if you love it as much as we did!įor the Biscuits* (taken from Smitten Kitchen – which looks a lot like the scone recipe I use from America’s Test Kitchen – both are awesome and yield similar results):Ģ cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the surface The rest doesn’t take that long – about an hour from baking the biscuits through frying the chicken. ![]() Start this the night before you want to eat it so that you can get your chicken in the brine. It’s an old cracker (well, not literally, but the brand is old!) I can remember these crackers as a kid and I honestly hadn’t bought a box since, but for this little project, it’s well worth it. They have a sweet/savory flavor combo that I’ve tasted in other crackers, but this one, in my opinion, was the first of its kind and remains the best. Have you ever had Chicken in a Biskit crackers? If you haven’t, you should try them. And a made a side of carrot “fries” to go along with everything. So we did it! Matt put the chicken thighs in the brine the night before but the meal itself took less than an hour from start to finish. And it really wasn’t that difficult! We had the idea a while back and thought it was too good of a play on words to not do it. It was one of the best little chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had. Served on top of a fluffy cream biscuit and finished off with a spread of salted maple butter. Buttermilk-brined chicken thighs, breaded in ground up Chicken in a Biskit crackers and fried. ![]() |
