Cooking Up an Airline Treat: Mouth-watering In-flight Meals for Lufthansa Group Business Class Travellers
Let's face it: in-flight meals don't always enjoy the best reputation. But it's not quite fair to tar all airlines with the same brush. In fact, many passengers look forward to their in-flight meals, with the quality of the food served going so far as to influence their airline loyalty.
At Lufthansa, our dedicated LSG Sky Chefs have worked alongside some of the world's best chefs in globally recognised restaurants. Catering for all dietary requirements including vegan, halal, vegetarian, gluten, and kosher, the LSG Group produced 719 million meals and generated consolidated sales of EUR 3.217 billion with 35,512 employees in 59 countries.
So what can you or your colleagues expect from our mouth-watering range of meals and beverages when you travel in Lufthansa Group's business class cabin? If you're hungry, you may want to look away now...
Treat your taste buds: business travel in-flight meals
Lufthansa's business class meals, which change every two months to meet the seasonal needs of customers, range from typical local cuisines on international routes to China, Japan, India, and America, and also caters for short-haul business trips around Europe.
Dishes for long haul destinations include 'cioppino' (seafood ragout with tomatoes and saffron), smoke-grilled fillet of beef with hot chilli sauce, fresh pasta stuffed with artichokes, and seafood cartoccio.
For short haul flights, spiced salmon with avocado and parsley mousse, tenderloin of veal, and chaumes, gouda, soft goat cheese and blue borgond with a date and sesame honey chutney (you best fire up Google) are just some delicacies that grace the menu. For vegetarians, how do papaya and caramelized parsnips sound for starters, followed by a yellow vegetable curry with basmati nut rice?
All of these delicious recipes are accompanied by our excellent wine list that meets an international 20-point system. Through a series of blind taste tests, a panel of internal and external wine experts determines the right wines to best match your courses (all the while meeting the requirements for being served on board our flights).

Swiss offers a 'taste of Switzerland programme' whereby travellers are served award-winning culinary delights made from the freshest products and highest-quality services.
The menu, updated every three months, often consists of smoked Balik salmon tartare or slow-cooked beef with vinaigrette and horseradish for starters, followed by beef tenderloin and summer vegetables, or sea bass fillets with red wine sauce and potato gnocchi. Delicious! Of course, flyers also experience a selection of Swiss cheeses, as well as a dessert including tiramisu with salted crumble, or yoghurt and honey mousse with a strawberry sponge.
If the flight is during the morning, the crew roll out a selection of hot and cold breakfast items through the cabin: cold meats, several cheeses, muesli, fruit salad, and/or eggs are just a few of the highlights.
Their vegetarian and vegan range is excellent too, all created by Hiltl in Zurich, the oldest vegetarian restaurant in the world.
Don't just enjoy the dining experience on your trip; make it a relaxing one too with these five tips.
Austrian Airlines
Austrian Airlines offers a DO & CO à la carte, one of the world's best caterers.
To start, flyers can choose from a cold breakfast of fresh fruits, homemade granola, a selection of ham and cheese, and freshly baked bread. Also available is everyone's favourite, the cooked breakfast.
For mains, dig into a herbed chicken breast on a Caesar salad with croûtons, wild salmon tartar, and a strawberries crème fraîche tart. If that doesn't tickle the taste buds, Austrian offers a Japanese bento box with a selection of sushi, duck breast masao, and salmon and avocado tartar. Travellers may also be tempted with the Viennese chicken in red pepper sauce with cherry tomatoes, followed by mango and lime meringue.
Vegetarians can enjoy the 'best of meze', consisting of hummus, ganoush, stuffed vine leaves and a variety of salads to name but a few features.
However, the best part of business class on Austrian Airlines isn't the main dish or even a hot breakfast before arrival; the star of the show is the dessert and traditional Viennese coffee service. Austrian Airlines flight attendants are trained to whip up any of the 10 different speciality coffees on board, each served with an individual Gugelhupf — that's a traditional Austrian bundt cake to you and me.
To see what's on the menu on your Austrian Airlines flight, simply enter your flight number here.
Eurowings and Germanwings
Eurowings and Germanwings offer an inbound and outbound menu for BIZclass. For the sophisticated palate, the menu features a selection of quality products distinguished by their regional origin, preparation, and unique ingredients.
For this article, we're going to take a mix from each menu, even though it all sounds so good! For starters, choose from sliced, fried chicken breast with lentil-quinoa salad and curry-crème fraîche mayonnaise, or shrimp in a citrus-herb marinade with roasted corn and jicama salad, fresh pea tendrils, and red pepper coulis. Where do I book my ticket?
The main course options are lamb shank braised in red wine with sauteéd haricot verts and shitake mushrooms, wild rice pilaf, and a rich Merlot reduction, or salmon roll with savoy cabbage filling, potatoes, greens, and asparagus with red curry sauce.
Pasta with cream cheese and spinach filling, or goats cheese ravioli with asparagus are the options for vegetarians.
Brussels Airlines
Brussels Airlines business class offers travellers a taste of Belgium's internationally acclaimed cuisine. A host of Michelin-starred Belgian chefs create special dishes using local regional produce to be served on board their long haul flights out of Brussels.
They take off with smoked beef, cucumber, sesame and a confit of kombu seaweed with accompanying vinaigrette, or red label smoked salmon and white asparagus cream soup with vanilla and lime.
Still hungry? Three main course options follow. Number one is grilled veal, potatoes, carrot and black garlic with stroganoff sauce. Option two is sea bass and squid, green asparagus, lemon and black olives with rice vinegar sauce. Finally, the third choice is pesto spaghettini, burrata and cherry tomatoes. I'm dribbling.
The menu is finished off with a selection of cheeses before hitting the dessert: pistachio with lime and ginger.

The path to democracy was long in human civilization. Still democratic system "people's own rule" can be debatable. We can find signs of authoritarianism in modern democratic system. The elected representatives, the law makers of today's world sometimes tends to be an authoritarian.
For instance, one of the basic privilege of any citizen is of safety. Really think of it. Irrespective of the country develop or under-develop, that the country's government primary duty towards their citizens is of safety and security. The leaders should work to secure their citizens before them. Is this really what happens in regular governance? I think not. Instead they allocate more and more funds on VVIP's security. Deploying more security to safeguard government establishments. Just take statistics from any country on how many of the leaders and the common citizens been killed in violence? The numbers of common citizens are far more.
This is just one issues, there are many more, like right of speech and so on.
A question still stands, are today's democratic systems are flawless? Are they do need to get better?
Probably our democracies will become and function better as we become more civilized.
Independence is stage should be enjoyed by all. To be independent one should be librated from foreign rules and regulations. The basic rule of co-existence should always be honored. One day highest stage of being civilized will be achieved by us. Where everyone will live in peace, harmony, designate their nation's law and will self impose it.

HMS Lucia
The Ship
Sold for Scrap 1951
Lucia was built in 1907 as the Hamburg-Amerika liner Spreewald and was captured in September 1914. She was converted to a submarine depot ship in 1916 on the Clyde and served in the First World War on the River Tees. It would seem from other correspondence that she was given the nickname of 'Lucifer' by her crews. In the Second World War she served in the East, mainly at Colombo, being badly damaged there in April 1942 by Japanese aircraft. She was sold in 1946 and finally broken up in 1951.

The Nobel Prize Committee in Stockholm has announced the winners of the 2018 prizes in the categories of Physics and Medicine.
Three scientists working in the field of laser physics have been awarded the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics. One half of the award to Arthur Ashkin of Bell Laboratories, Holmdel, USA for his optical tweezers and their application to biological systems. The other half has been jointly awarded to Gérard Mourou of the University of Michigan and Donna Strickland of the University of Waterloo for their method of generating high-intensity, ultra-short optical pulses.
At the age of 96, the inventor of the optical tweezers is the oldest person in history to win a Nobel prize. Meanwhile, Strickland is the first woman to win a Nobel prize in Physics in 55 years.
Ashkin was able to successfully use the radiation pressure of light to move and grab physical objects — including particles, atoms and viruses. His first breakthrough in this field happened in 1987, when he used his tweezers to capture living bacteria without harming them.

Mourou and Strickland, however, won half of the nine-million Swedish kroner prize for creating the shortest and most intense laser pulses in history, without destroying the amplifying material. Their method — called chirped pulse amplification — involves stretching the laser pulses in time to reduce their peak power, amplifying them and finally compressing them. The process packs more light into a tiny space, increasing the intensity of the pulse. This technology can be utilized in corrective eye surgeries, which use laser beams.
Nobel Prize in Medicine goes to immune checkpoint therapy
James P. Allison and Tasuku Honjo have been awarded the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery of cancer therapy by inhibition of negative immune regulation.
The award was announced by the Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet on Monday.
Allison studied a known protein that functions as a 'break' on the immune system. He realised the potential of releasing this break, so it could unleash immune cells to attack malignant growths in the human body. He developed this concept into a new approach to treat cancer patients.
Concurrently, Honjo discovered a protein cell with a similar 'break' function but a different mechanism of action. Therapies based on this discovery have proven to be highly effective.
The two immunologists' discoveries constitute a landmark in humanity's fight against cancer. However, using the immune system to attack tumour cells is not a new concept. This is an idea that first emerged at the end of the 19th century. Attempts were made to activate patients' immune systems by infecting them with bacteria. Today, a variation on this strategy is used to treat bladder cancer.

UK gas system 'comfortable'
Posted on 10 February 2014 by Priyanka Shrestha
The gas system in the UK is "comfortable" today as it has picked up flows from the Netherlands, according to the Market Report.
That has led to contracts trading a "fair bit lower" compared to last Friday, says Tom Matthews (pictured), Client Portfolio Manager at npower.
There were limited gas flows into the UK last week as a result of an unexpected outage in a processing facility in Norway but Norwegian flows also remain strong today, he adds.
Mr Matthews said the power system is "comfortable" too, with the strong pick-up in gas generation compensating for wind energy.
Brent oil is trading at $109, with the main driver being "strong demand for heating oil in the US as temperatures have been below seasonal norm".
Mr Matthews suggests keeping an eye on the gas system. He adds: "Look out for Norwegian flows after Wednesday as it may well be interrupted by the testing of compressors on the Troll field in Norway. That's due to start on Wednesday and going forward for a couple of weeks. That may well have an impact on Norwegian flows so keep an eye on that story as any developments may well be a market driver."

Marktime Says:

Now that gas flows are more positive and prices lower, currently, for
those of a commercial nature, 60 pence/Therm, or 2.08 pence/ kW. Why are
retail prices continuing to rise, when prices are reducing? Currently, the
latter are over 4.0 p per kW. Obviously, the big 6 are on a real winner charging 100% more for their gas, and despite the claim that there is competition in the market, because of the complex tariff arrangements, retail prices are all very similar across the board. This is not a competitive market but a fixed one.

SNOW! Ahhh, the light...
Posted byon
There are those sensory experiences that bring us right back: the smell of Grandma's perfume, hearing an old favorite tune come on the radio, and for me, feeling the light reflect off of newly fallen snow.
If you're in Seattle, you know what happens when it snows here. A rare occurrence, so the city shuts down! We are not equipped for snow removal and with the hills, well, it certainly is not safe to be out there driving. As a result, when the snow does come, we snuggle in our cozy homes and enjoy the beauty Mother Nature has provided.
On numerous occasions today, I have been struck by how glorious the colors on the interior of my house feel and by the appearance of many homes' exterior color. Without a doubt, the quality of the light reflecting off of the newly fallen snow is a gift from Mother Nature and seems to enhance color relationships. We are granted such a gift in the bleakest, darkest months of the year. Just what our bodies are craving!
Growing up in Cleveland, Ohio, my childhood was filled with these snow-reflecting days. I recall sitting inside my parents' home, engulfed in the magical energy of the light reflecting off of the ground, the roof tops, the trees. The snow here today brought me right back... Ah, thank you Mother Nature!

Fire ant gets its name from it's powerful, stinging bite which apparently feels like fire. They use their mandibles to grip their victim (or prey!) and then inject venom using their stinger. They are small but they can be deadly (if you're allergic to them) and to further teach us that size doesn't matter, these tiny beings have huge economic consequences. As with many animals, they have found themselves transported across the world to places which are less than welcoming. As an aggressive, invasive animal they cause a lot of harm to their new habitats and huge efforts are made to eliminate them. Australia, for example, spends £20 million a year trying to get rid of them.
I'm going to look at ants more generally for the rest of the post.
The ant
Ants are amazing! I had an ant infestation in my bathroom last year so I know they aren't great house guests but they are very persistent and definitely hard workers! They seem to be able to get everywhere and appear to come from nowhere.
In addition to being work focused, there are a lot of similarities to the bee; they are community focused, everyone has a role to play and the ants are devoted to their duties. Like the bee, the ant is an architect, creating an amazingly complex home. They even pull in help from others such as the species of ant which cultivates fungus to provide food and use their own antibiotic formula to control the growth of the fungus.
As with the bee, we will see that every little act, every role an ant takes on makes a difference and contributes to the strength of the community. Again, this super organism has a queen at it's head, most workers are non reproducing females and the males of the ant world are essentially just sperm donors – they mate and then they die. Where do you feel you fit into the ant family right now? Maybe you are the queen ant, creating life and light and coordinating a major project or maybe you're feeling a bit more like the male ant, that is, used for sex…
Ants may be annoying, especially during a picnic but there can be no doubt that they are essentially miniature superheroes!
One species of ant can stand upside down on a plate of glass and hold 100 times their weight without falling off. Apparently the key to their strength is their neck and the neck joint of a common field ant can withstand 5,000 times the ant's weight (presumably not whilst also hanging upside from from a glass plate though!). The ant does not let its environment hinder it, if they need to they will use their own bodies to create structures eg ladders and bridges to overcome obstacles. They can, and often do, take on animals much larger than themselves and ants have even been seen carrying dead baby birds back to the ant nest.
You have within you much much more strength than anyone can imagine and probably much more than you will ever need.
Smelling the world
Their amazing life is mostly a result of their highly cooperative set up. In terms of finding food, scouts will head out to find a good source and leave a chemical trail behind them. Once they've found something tasty, they head back to the nest and strengthen the trail as they go. Depending on the species you may then have leaf cutter ants head out followed by transporter ants to bring the bounty home. The different roles are carried out by ants who have their own specialist adaptation for the job.
Without their amazing communication system they would probably fall into chaos, it is communication which makes the community work.
Which feels like a very applicable statement for human life. I hadn't realised until just now that communication and community are linked right down to the actual word form. We should also ask ourselves what we could achieve if we worked together in a cooperative and organised fashion.
Also, note that the ant's world is very much one of smell as opposed to our highly visual world. Maybe its a prompt towards scented candles or aromatherapy or just a reminder to us not to rely so heavily on our eyes for information.
Myths and folklore
We see the ant as a predictor in ancient Rome where Ceres used ant behaviour as divination and in a number of cultures, the ant is supposed to be able to to predict the weather.
In Cornwall it was unlucky to destroy an ants nest as ants were the souls of unbaptised children or faeries, as we'll see later, the same was said to be true of frogs.
In a story from the Hopi Indians, we see that the ant has saved humanity not once but twice. Another reminder that size does not matter, especially when you work together.
In another myth, the bear and the ant are in conflict. Life is all darkness and this is hard for the ant who is always busy working – she can't see what she's doing. Bear liked the dark and accepted a contest from the ant thinking that she would clearly win any challenge against a feeble little ant… On the day of the dance off, there was a banquet of food. Bear ate happily but the little ant decided that she should not eat anything despite her hunger. As the contest went on, bear got fuller and fuller and sleepier and sleepier until she could no longer dance and thus the ant won. But ant is community minded and thus she made a deal with the bear, there would be light but it would be followed by dark and thus even now, we have day and night. I think it worked out well for the ant this way… her generosity means that she has night time to rest and isn't working 24 hours a day… I don't know if ants really care about day and night but my key message here is don't work too hard!
The story of the ant and the grasshopper illustrates the ants diligence, patience, forethought and planning, all qualities which help the ant colony achieve their collective goals.
Given that we were looking at the fire ant, I would be tempted to take all these characteristics and essentially amp them up. For example, where ant may symbolise hard work, fire ant may symbolise working too hard and burning out.

GROSSE POINTE, Mich. – A woman is accusing a former Grosse Pointe police officer of sexually assaulting her when she was a teenager.
Ellie Scandirito said she never came forward because she thought her allegations wouldn't be taken seriously.
Scandirito said she was 16 years old when then-35-year-old Officer Matt Pater sexually assaulted her multiple times. She took her allegations four hours north to the Harbor Springs City Council.
READ: Grosse Pointe police officer accused of sexually assaulting teen girl years ago
Pater is now a police officer in Harbor Springs, and when Scandirito found out, she said it troubled her. He's also listed as vice president of the Harbor Spring Boosters Club, a volunteer organization that deals with student-athletes.
Scandirito said the Harbor Springs community needs to know more about Pater's history and what was found in her personnel file from Grosse Pointe that hasn't been revealed.
"He closed the door," Scandirito said. "He put his hands on my shoulders and pushed me down. He unzipped his pants and pulled out his penis and stuck it in my mouth."
In her complaint, Scandirito said Pater sexually assaulted her multiple times while she was working as a receptionist at a Detroit nursing home.
"He would use language like, 'If you tell anyone about this, you could lose your job,'" Scandirito said.
She said Pater was an off-duty Grosse Pointe police officer at the time, working at the nursing home as a security guard.
"He eventually pulled away," Scandirito said. "I was crying. He zipped up his pants and walked me to his car said said I did a good job and I would get used to this."
"Did you say anything to him?" Local 4's Karen Drew asked.
"I was silent," Scandirito said.
The Local 4 Defenders obtained Pater's Grosse Pointe police personnel file. In it, there are salacious emails sent from Pater to 16-year-old Scandirito.
"I also really love to taste my partner, like smell," Pater wrote. "Every part tastes different and (it) arouses me."
"There isn't a part of the body I wouldn't lick, suck or kiss," Pater wrote in another email. "Do you understand now or do I need to show you?"
The Defenders learned that the emails were brought to the Grosse Pointe Police Department nearly two decades ago by Scandirito's mother. There was no investigation launched on the police officer after the emails were exposed.
Pater took a scheduled vacation, and when he came back, he put in a two-day resignation.
Pater moved to Harbor Springs, a resort community known for its small-town atmosphere, beautiful homes, gorgeous views and lack of scandals.
"I had to travel for four hours in the car to come here to speak to you all with this issue, but I felt that it was crucial information that I really wanted to go on the record," Scandirito said. "I have obtained FOIA documents via the Michigan State Police."
Scandirito shared her allegations of assault and the paperwork from Pater's personnel file, which included the sexual emails.
City council members had little to say, except that they would wait for the findings of a Michigan State Police investigation into the allegations and whether the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office would charge Pater.
"Those emails alone should have launched a massive investigation," Sen. Curtis Hertel said.
Hertel is taking Scandirito's case seriously.
"Those are disgusting things to send to a 16-year-old, and anyone who would do that has severe judgment problems," Scandirito said. "The idea that that person is still a law enforcement in the state -- they are volunteering with kids in the state -- is wrong and should never be allowed.
"I don't have any reason to doubt Ellie's story. Too often we doubt women that come forward (with) no reason monetarily to come forward. She is only coming forward (because) she believes what happened to her is important and that people have a right to know who this person is who did this to her."
The Defenders tracked down Pater in Harbor Springs while he was working.
"Do you have anything you want to say?" Karen asked.
"No," Pater said.
"I've been at this for 10 months, so the one thing I have learned is to hurry up and wait and to be patient," Scandirito said. "What's right is right and what's wrong is wrong."
The case is sitting with the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office, which has to decide whether to announce charges against Pater.
Harbor Springs Police Chief Kyle Knight said the department is awaiting the prosecuting attorney's decision.
Harbor Springs Public Schools statement
The district released this statement on Pater:
Matt Pater is not employed with Harbor Springs Public Schools. We take our obligations to students very seriously and student safety is the top priority. We follow established protocols and procedures to ensure that our students are afforded a safe and secure learning environment, including a required background check for all employees and volunteers.

Marriage and Family are GREAT, and Single life is GREAT! It just depends on what day it is and at what stage of life you're in.
Struggles can get real, Real fast! Having someone to talk to outside of your immediate circle can be helpful, as well give the privacy and a safe space to sort things out; things you'd rather not share with family and friends. If family counseling feels like the best option, we can at any time bring them in to see what's next.

? The Alsheich Synagogue in Safed, Israel named after Rabbi Moshe Ben Haim Alsheich who lived in the 16th century. The synagogue was built more than 500 years ago during what was known as Safed's Golden Era.
The unique arches of the building are attributed to the Samarkand style of building of the Jews of Bukhara. Legend has it that the synagogue was not damaged in the earthquakes of 1759 and 1837 specifically due to the strength of these arches.
An inscription on the facade of the building attests to a renovation carried out before the earthquake of 1837. This renovation apparently saved the building from destruction.
The synagogue is also called "the synagogue of the Ba'alei Teshuva" (penitent Jews). It is assumed that this phrase refers to the Conversos, Spanish Jews who converted to Christianity during the Inquisition and returned to Judaism after fleeing from Spain. Another name by which the synagogue is known is Kenis el Istambulia – the synagogue of the Jews from Istanbul, which could also allude to the Ba'alei Teshuva of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.

Ben and the team have been incredible over the 6 week Summer Bootcamp! I never thought I would be doing what I've done and feel so good about myself. Bring on the next one!
I've come to realise after starting Bootcamp that cutting calories and fad diets don't work at all! My body shape has completely changed! My attitude to exercise and food has changed, I make better choices but still allow treats at the weekends and I have a lot more energy!
I couldn't imagine my life without the regular doses of dynamic group training and epic levels of serotonin release!
Bootcamp has done more for me that I can put into words. With support and encouragement from both team mates and instructors, I have achieved more than I ever though possible. I started 12 months ago and have never looked back.
Bootcamp Falmouth allowed me to focus on seriously improving my fitness in a non judgemental, friendly and fun environment. The nutrition advice changed the way I eat forever and helped me kick a longstanding sweetner addiction! Highly recommend.

Sun is up, summer is here and everyone is longing to spend some time outside. Summer time is an annual event where we seek out adventures, look for new love and embrace life all over again.
Being out in the sun is always fun, but there's more to a sunny day than meets the eye. During the hours between 10 am and 4 pm the sun's rays can be very harmful. This is when the sunshine is in direct alignment with the earth and when UV rays can cause great damage to your skin and eyes.
When your skin feel tight and dry, or seems red and hot, the sun might have gotten the best of you. Sunburns can range from small irritations to cancer causing inflammations. When you're coming back from a fun day outdoors. From the beach, the park or a just a day out and you feel your skin is acting up, we have quick and easy home remedies below.
Before we go into how to sooth your irritated skin, it is important to remind you to always wear sunglasses and put on sunscreen to exposed body parts whenever stepping outside during the summer.
1 – Moisturizers: After a cool bath, apply moisturizing cream onto your skin. When your skin is burnt, moisture and fluids rush to the upper layers of your skin tissue, so make up by drinking lots of fluids and reapplying moisturizing creams to help rejuvenate those burnt cells. Use a cream rich in vitamins C and E, they will help limit the skin damage. A popular favorite is moisturizing cream with Aloe Vera extract.
2 – Mint and Green Tea: Bring half a pot-full of water to the boil. Take the strings and labels of 4 or 5 tea bags, and along with a cup of mint leaves, throw them into the pot and cover for an hour. After filtering the mixture and letting it cool, soak cotton balls or a washcloth and gently dab onto the burnt area.
3 – Yogurt: Get fresh cultured yogurt and apply directly to the irritated skin area. Yogurt has tons of probiotics and enzymes that help heal your skin. Apply fresh yogurt directly to the skin and let it sit for about 5 minutes. When you feel that your skin is cooler and less red, rinse off with cool water. Just remember to make sure that the yogurt is plain and rich in probiotics.

Basically, the way this drawing worked is as follows: Each mark on the drawing required 4 rolls of the dice. The first roll dictated the type of line (straight, curved, vertical etc). The second roll determined the size. The third and fourth roll determined the direction and distance away for the subsequent mark. These rules could not be adjusted except at predetermined intervals. The procedure was carried out several thousand times.
After the first 100 or so marks I realized that the dice rolling was interupting my flow too much, so I wrote a C++ program which would print out instructions- 1000 marks at a time.
A more in depth explanation is offered here.
This very tedious process was a challenge in attention. It also forced me to slow down the decision making process. An interesting insight came out of the fact that many times I really hated an entire sequence of marks. But since the rules dictated so, I had to continue. Invariably, these passages would turn out to be my favorite parts of the drawing later down the line. What a strange paradox. I suppose a life lesson is in there somewhere.

Robert David Steele, Cynthia McKinney Aim to 'Unrig' the Political System
Emma Niles, TruthDig
Robert David Steele, a former CIA clandestine case officer, and Cynthia McKinney, a former six-term congresswoman from Georgia, are teaming up to fight establishment politics and bring down the "deep state."
Steele and McKinney have launched #UNRIG, an "educational project" aimed at restoring government integrity and mobilizing Americans to work with their elected officials.
Phi Beta Iota: Best of three stories published yesterday. Superb links. Two gross errors. 01 The Norwegian Minister told Jan Kalvik that he did indeed nominate Robert Steele for the Nobel Peace Prize, a fact Editor-in-Chief Kalvik would be happy to confirm if asked. 02 Steele never said there were child sex slaves on Mars — that was a media hit job planted in The Daily Beast perhaps by a top media pedophile. Truthdig should have done its homework on this one.

For many people travelling to Korea, Seoul is often the be all and end all of their journey. And while it's true that the country is very centralized, once you venture out of its capital, you will quickly find incredible geographical and cultural diversity.
Going to Busan from Seoul is fast and pretty straightforward – the KTX (Korean high speed railway) ticket is around 50,000 won (just under fifty bucks) and it takes you there in less than two hours! Even though Busan is quite smaller than Seoul (around three million people), it sprawls out quite a bit, so you'll often find yourself taking the metro or the bus for a good hour to go from point A to point B, and this doesn't even include suburbs or the more peripheral parts of the city. Some of the more notable areas are: Haeundae, located on the very coast – this is where you'll find the humongous Haeundae beach that gets packed in the summer months. Nampo is one of the busiest spots for shopping. This is also where the bookshop alley is located, which I found incredibly charming, although it should be noted that 99% of the the titles were in Korean. What I found even better was the Jagalchi market that had an insane display of various seafood and aquatic life. Those braver than me could try the live baby octopus or some other equally crazy dish. Elsewhere, Seomyeon, PNU and KSU are also popular for cafes, bars and restaurants and are pretty busy at night time. During the day, I enjoyed going on hikes (notably the Dalmaji Hill in Heundae) and just taking in the beautiful scenery. Busan has truly become a special place for me.
Insider Tip
Make sure to try the local delicacy called dongnae pajeon, which is some sort of seafood pancake.

Bashiok found some time to hop online in between shepherding the Asian media attendees through their time on the Diablo 3 Beta/demo build, and made a post taking on the old "is D3 too easy" issue.
Bashiok: There's also a lot of different ideas about what "casual" means. It's different for everyone.
Casual, in our minds, generally means that you can choose to jump into a game at any time, on any day, play for a relatively small amount of time, and make some kind of progress. Diablo II was a casual game, as is Diablo III. You can, of course, sit and play for 6 hours straight if you like, but the ability to jump in, kill some monsters, and get something out of it (drops, XP, story progression) makes it 'casually approachable'. You won't be able to keep up with the people that dedicate more time to it, of course, but you'll still be able to make meaningful progress.
That's what allows it to be casual, purely depending on the amount of time someone can put toward playing.
As far as accessible vs. easy, we attempt to instill all of our games with an easy to learn, difficult to master approach.
I hardly know what to say about any news now, since everything is going to change once we can share the new info about all the big game changes. The first topic that leaps to mind in terms of "too easy vs. accessible" is no longer valid, since that game feature has changed a lot since we last had public info about it. And there's a new changed/feature that excellently illustrates this point, but I can't comment on it yet. (This must be what Bashiok feels like all the time, when he's trying to find forum threads to comment on…)
So, that aside, what do you think of Bashiok's reasoning here? Clearly there is a difference between "easy" and "accessible." A game or game feature can be both, of course, or either. Or neither! D3 seems to be both, at least through normal difficulty, and those of us who want more of a challenge are not entirely happy with that. But easy normal seems to be the price we have to pay for a mass market game with the kind of budget and dev time that D3 has consumed.

These very marked dates of higher consumption of the year inevitably increase the number of requests for quick loans to meet food and gift expenses.
Launch offers such as the return of loans
In addition, the fact that these companies take advantage of Christmas to launch offers such as the return of loans without cost or the extension of the repayment terms makes it even easier for all those users who need liquidity at the end of the year.
However, at this time as in any other of the year we must analyze very well the conditions and the cost of these loans since at present there are many private companies that are dedicated to it as you can see in the comparator of Thousand Loans and We must look for the one that best suits our needs. Normally, the most requested are credits of 300 euros to be repaid in an approximate period of between 15 and 30 days with an interest rate of between 20 and 40%.
Higher interest rate than if you request a loan
If we compare it with other products such as traditional credit cards, we can say that the operation of a fast credit is very similar, in which we request an amount that they give us immediately and that it must be returned in an approximate period of one month with a higher interest rate than if you request a loan from a traditional financial institution. But as we have been commenting, the advantages of these types of loans in terms of speed and efficiency are much higher.
Christmas mini-credit
Therefore, before requesting a Christmas mini-credit , find out if there are offers available on these dates that will facilitate your return and compare the conditions available to the various entities as they are very different. And remember, if you have any questions, consult with our financial advisors specialized in fast loans and they will help you choose the one that suits you best and suits your needs.

After four decades of reforms and opening, China is accelerating the transition to post-industrial society.
As Chinese President Xi Jinping gave his highly-anticipated speech on Monday on the 40th anniversary of Chinese reforms and opening-up policies, it was closely watched internationally in light of the 90-day truce in the U.S. trade wars.
Xi called the pursuit of reform and opening-up and socialism with Chinese characteristics "a milestone in realizing the Chinese nation's rejuvenation." He emphasized the importance of innovation, which has been prominently displayed by world-class productivity in the Greater Bay Area of South China, and international cooperation, as evidenced by the One Road One Belt initiative that's fueling 21st century globalization.
In particular, Xi's speech was very clear about China's historical debt to Deng Xiaoping other reformers—and the need to go further.
China's pragmatic transitions
In Chinese modern history, it was Sun Yat-sen, the founding father of the nation, who paved the way for sovereignty with his "three principles" of nation, democracy and socialism. But following imperial disintegration and Western colonialism, these efforts could be started only after world wars, Japanese invasion, and a Civil War.
When in 1949 Mao Zedong could finally declare that "the Chinese people have stood up!", China began the march to a new future. In the early 1950s, Mao's economic policies unleashed state-led industrialization, which started promisingly but stagnated amid the Cold War polarization. In historical view, Mao's crucial contribution was the establishment of Chinese sovereignty.
Already by the early 1960s, foreign minister Zhou Enlai called for the "Four Modernizations" in agriculture, industry, defense, and science and technology. These reforms started in the late '70s, when Deng Xiaoping initiated the "reform and opening" era, with the Special Economic Zones (SEZs) first in Southern China, then in Shanghai, Beijing and elsewhere.
It was Deng's bold pragmatism—"It doesn't matter if the cat is black or white as long as it catches the mice," as he put it—that finally led to the inflow of foreign investment and technology, business success, and parallel price structures. With extraordinary foresight, Deng understood the opportunities of globalization, but also knew the risks of the international environment in the Reagan-Thatcher era when "one had to cross the river by feeling the stones"—a phrase that Xi quoted approvingly in his speech.
As President Jiang Zemin pushed the role of the private sector—"the Three Represents" doctrine—and Premier Zhu Rongji began the struggle against corruption in the 1990s, China became the member of the World Trade Organization (2001). That paved the way to a decade of export-led double-digit growth, which President Hu Jintao characterized as "China's peaceful development."
The fourth great transition—the shift to post-industrialization—has been intensified by the Xi leadership.
Trade, markets and the Party
Just as the WTO membership allowed China to execute tough reforms, U.S. trade wars may actually accelerate Chinese reforms, as long as compromise makes pragmatic sense.
Xi's reform speech offered clarity in a difficult international environment that is often overshadowed by ideological misinterpretations of economic fundamentals. Recently, New York Times reported that China was amid "a steep downturn." Yet, the growth forecast for the year remains 6.5- 6.6%, after a strong first half. Moderation will ensue in the second half and especially in 2019, depending on U.S. tariffs and slower demand worldwide.
U.S. may be navigating toward a correction by 2019-20, which will prove challenging to all major economies. Indeed, many Americans oppose President Trump's policies and the word "impeachment" is getting louder in the Capitol Hill. Meanwhile, a bipartisan group of senators—Rob Portman (R-Ohio), Doug Jones (D-Ala.) and Joni Ernst (R-Iowa)—seeks to claw back trade power from Trump with legislation. They hope to "better align" Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 with its "original intent," which was to respond "to genuine threats to national security." Foreign cars and car parts are not exactly a typical geopolitical threat.
In his speech, Xi also emphasized the role of the Chinese Communist Party in the reforms. Historically, when China has thrived, it has been attributed to "Westernization" in the West, and when China has ailed, it has been attributed to Chinese communism.
The West has not yet come to terms with the inconvenient truth that China's economic miracle has been possible because of the Party's leadership, not despite it. Unlike the West where middle classes continue to shrink at the expense of the ultra-wealthy, China is expanding middle classes, fighting corruption, and fostering sustainability.
Irrespective of Washington's trade actions, U.S. trade wars will not change the course of Chinese reforms which will continue to broaden and deepen. China will "stay the course," as Xi put it, while stressing that "no one is in a position to dictate to the Chinese people what should or should not be done."
Like Liu He, Xi's economic adviser, Chinese reformers are determined to complete by the late 2020s the rebalancing of their economy, which is rapidly moving toward consumption and world-class innovation.

Small businesses are closing in record numbers. This might not matter except that it's small business that creates most American jobs.
"Timothy Leary famously coined the definitive 60s counterculture phrase, "Turn on, tune in, drop out" in 1966. (According to Wikipedia, In a 1988 interview with Neil Strauss, Leary said the slogan was "given to him" by Marshall McLuhan during a lunch in New York City.)
An updated version of the slogan might be: Turn Off, Tune Out, Drop Out: turn off mobile phones, screens, etc.; tune out Corporate Media, social media, propaganda, official and unofficial, and drop out of the status quo economy and society.
Dropping out of a broken, dysfunctional status quo in terminal decline has a long history." Read more…

- Stitch >
- Triggers
MongoDB Stitch triggers enable you to execute application and database logic automatically, either in response to events or based on a pre-defined schedule. Stitch supports three types of triggers:
- Database triggers, which can automatically respond when documents are added, updated, or removed in a linked MongoDB collection.
- Authentication triggers, which execute additional server-side logic when a user is created, authenticated, or deleted.
- Scheduled triggers, which execute functions at regular intervals according to a pre-defined schedule.
Triggers listen for application events of a configured type and are each linked with a specific Stitch function. Whenever a trigger observes an event that matches your configuration, it "fires" and passes the event object that caused it to fire as the argument to its linked function. You can configure the events that cause a trigger to fire based on their operation type as well as other values specific to each type of trigger.
Stitch limits the execution of trigger functions to a rate of 1000 executions per second across all triggers in an application. If additional triggers fire beyond this threshold, Stitch adds their associated functions to a queue and executes the functions once capacity becomes available.
Database Triggers with event ordering enabled are an exception to this rule. Each ordered trigger processes events in order, waiting for the previous event execution to complete before handling the next event. Therefore, only one execution of a particular ordered trigger executes at any given time.
- Stitch UI
- Import/Export
Database Trigger¶
An online store wants to notify its customers whenever one of their
orders changes location. They record each order in the
collection as a document that resembles the following:
To automate this process, the store creates a database trigger that
listens for
UPDATE change events in the
store.orders collection.
When the trigger observes an
UPDATE event, it passes the
change event object to its associated function,
textShippingUpdate. The function checks the change event for any
changes to the
shippingLocation field and, if it was updated, sends
a text message to the customer with the new location of the order.
Authentication Trigger¶
An online store wants to store custom metadata for each of its customers
in MongoDB. Each customer should have a document in the
store.customers collection where metadata about them can be recorded
and queried.
To guarantee that each customer is represented in the collection, the
store creates an authentication trigger that listens for newly created
users in the email/password
authentication provider. When the trigger observes a
CREATE event,
it passes the authentication event object
to its linked function,
createNewUserDocument. The function creates
a new document describing the user and their activity and inserts it
into the
store.customers collection.
Scheduled Trigger¶
An online store wants to generate a daily report of all sales from the
previous day. They record all orders in the
store.orders collection
as documents that resemble the following:
To generate the daily report, the store creates a scheduled
trigger that is scheduled to fire every
morning at
7:00 AM UTC-0400. When the trigger fires, it calls its
linked function,
generateDailyReport, which runs an aggregation
query on the
store.orders collection to generate the report. The
function then stores the result of the aggregation in the
store.reports collection.

Talking to an NRCC guy who's looked at last night's numbers extensively, he concludes that the polls and expectations in Pennsylvania's special election were thrown off not merely by the competitive Democratic Senate primary, but particularly by Joe Sestak's surge in the final two weeks.
Committee strategists worried about the effect of the Senate primary at first, but as they started getting polling numbers back, they suspected the special election would be the chief driver for turnout in this part of the state. Until the beginning of May or so, that seemed to be the case. But in the final weeks, Sestak's surge — driven by massive amounts of television advertising, hitting Specter for his ties to George W. Bush — drove a sudden burst of interest in voting among the Democratic base. This analyst thinks these Sestak-driven voters amounted to about 8,000 to 10,000 voters, roughly the size of Critz's margin of victory. The Sestak-surge-driven Democrats turned out because they were determined to toss out Specter; they were more liberal and more partisan than your average district Democrat. Thus, Tim Burns, who usually ran well among Democrats, in the neighborhood of 20 percent, probably only won about 15 percent of Democrats last night.
This NRCC number-cruncher notes that on paper, the Republicans did have high-intensity turnout; they outperformed the highest Republican level of turnout for a primary – although that's not the highest bar to clear; since Murtha usually appeared untouchable, GOP primaries in this district weren't usually big affairs, with 20,000 to 26,000 votes. The Republicans brought out 45,000 votes and expected the Democrats to bring out about 60,000 votes. (If Burns took 20 percent of that, and kept most of the Republican vote, he would win handily.)
Instead, 83,000 Democratic voters turned out.
This NRCC number-cruncher isn't drawing a ton of conclusions from this race yet, but he wonders if there's a need for Republicans to be wary of poll numbers indicating rural, red-state, or coal-country Democrats are turning against the party they traditionally support: "We can't take that at face value. We've got to have a little cynicism about those numbers, because these are folks who have been voting for Democrats for decades, and their moms and dads were voting for Democrats for decades before that. They don't just jump across that easily."

Nigeria: nine people dead in an attack suspected Boko Haram fighters
Gunmen suspected of belonging to the Boko Haram radical Islamist group killed in the night from Saturday to Sunday nine villagers and wounded 10 others in north-eastern Nigeria, do we learned from police sources.
"Today (Sunday), at 2:00 am (0100 GMT), suspected Boko Haram terrorists attacked the village of Mailari, in the area of Konduga," said the spokesman of the State Police Borno Aderemi Opadukun.
"Nine deaths were reported and 10 people injured. These are currently supported at the University Hospital of Maiduguri ", the capital of Borno state located thirty kilometers northwest of the site of the attack, said the spokesman.
No detail was available on the state the circumstances of the attack a week after a deadly Sunday in the same region: nearly 140 people were killed in bomb attacks in Maiduguri and monguno.
The Nigerian army has recently assured gaining ground in its counteroffensive against the insurgents, claiming to have destroyed several of their camps and released several hundred women and children held captive by the group.
