I read somewhere that Prime Minister Douglas said he would bring in help from outside to aid in the fight against crime.
I cannot divine where in the world this help will come from but I hope it won't be from Trinidad where the Prime Minister is at his wits end trying to figure out how to stop Trinidadian youths from slaughtering each other. The last count I heard was three hundred and sixteen (316) for the year already.
The Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago is so confused about crime within his borders that he is on the verge of declaring a State of Emergency in Trinidad. So I don't think any crimefighter from the twin-island republic can effectively advise Dr. Douglas on crime in St. Kitts and Nevis.
It can't be Jamaica either. That place is so bad that the criminals are shooting down even top police officers. Nobody escapes their deadly fire. I can only imagine how many bodyguards have to guard the Jamaican Prime Minister around the clock.
It definitely can't be a Guyanese. The criminals down there are bad, out of control. Their gangs are organized like little armies. Their police have their hands full trying to track down some of them as they strike with their deadly force and melt into the bush.
As a matter of fact, some years ago when we had crisis of crime we invited a Guyanese to lead our Police Force. What a mess he made. Unaccustomed to our terrain, he had to depend on his subordinates to figure our what to do. In the 1993 post election riots, when bottles and stones were flying all over Church Street, the fellow looked as bewildered as if he was in Guyana trying to figure out who was the latest mugger to choke and rob the tourist.
What about a Bajan? Many years ago we used to have Barbadian heads of the Police Force. They used to do a good job in those relatively peaceful times. One of them even used his experience here to propel him to Commissioner of Police in Barbados.
But that was then. Now is different. No Bajan Police can improve our crime situation. For just as it is in St. Kitts, so it is in Bimshire. Crime among the youth has escalated beyond the ability of traditional law enforcement strategies.
It is the same throughout the Caribbean. Crime is rampant. In the Caribbean, the basis of economic development is education and the islands have built their educational strategies on academic success. Those youth who have academic gifts are idolized and nurtured to form the vanguard of our economic upward movement. They are offered free training to become doctors, lawyers accountants, engineers, graduate teachers and para-professionals.
Their qualifications place them at the apex of both our economic and social system. They earn a lot of money, they build huge houses, they flash high lifestyles, and they distance themselves from the rest of society.
What the education system did for them it failed to do for their peers who were less academically gifted. For many years the education system, designed for economic leadership, failed to do anything much for the lower orders and allowed a significant segment of our society to drift into disillusionment and disenchantment at what society had dished out as their share.
These less endowed looked across at their endowed peers and understandably envied them for their high lifestyles. But since they did not have the brains to be lawyers, doctors, accountants, bankers and engineers, since their heads could not hold university degrees, they had to find ways to bridge the gap and catch up with their betters.
They want cell phones, computers and digital cameras like their betters and since they can't afford them, they steal them. As they grow older they want new cars like their betters so to acquire a new car, the best thing that they think they should do is traffic in drugs.
Drug trafficking inevitably leads to turf wars by gangs, weapons with which to fight. So they have to get guns which are the most effective settlers of disputes.
The problems are Caribbean-wide, worldwide. Not even people from the FBI, Scottland Yard or the Royal Canadian Mounted Police can solve these problems for us. The last Englishman we had here not many years ago left the crime situation worse than he met it. He may have had good intentions but he did not understand the terrain and he could not fix something if he did not understand how it was constructed.
To make a long story short, no outside expertise can solve our criminality, and the Minister of National Security is mistaken if he allows anybody to so advise him. We have right here in our island all the apparata that are necessary to fight crime effectively. We have schools where the youth are nurtured; let the schools become mindful of their duty to monitor their students, not just the bright students, all their students, throughout their school careers.
We have youth departments and sports departments. These departments need to come together, coordinate their activities, focus their collective eye on the conduct and behavior of our youth.
We have an army with a cadet corps which is supposed to inculcate leadership and good values in our youth.
All of these agents can bring healing and peace to our country but they have to be mindful of the seriousness of the problem and they have to be aware of the role which they can play together
If the Prime Minister brings in a stranger, whoever it is won't be able to function without these local agents. The local agents must work together, bring up their side.
If I had the job, I would advise Dr. Douglas to put all these agents – Education, Youth, Sport, Community Affairs under one Minister, so that this minister would deal with the whole spectrum of youth in our country. One Ministry would be in touch with all youth at every stage of their development. He will see them at school, at play, in their neighborhoods, in their clubs. He will be able to track them down wherever they are.
If the Prime Minister wants to give me the job I will take it and do it for free with the guarantee that in the short span of two years the crime situation in St. Kitts would improve significantly.
Notice I have said nothing about jail or the gallows as these would become non issues of the various resources which we already have are used at the optimum for maximum benefit to our society.
The observant reader would be quick to ask how come I am advising against outside help, when some time ago I kept rooting for Dr. Woosey the criminologist to come to our aid.
Well, Dr. Woosey is a Kittititan. He is a part of the terrain which he knows quite well. He is not exactly an outsider and he has the expertise to bring our resources together in our pre-emptive fight against crime.

Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems that often cause a variety of symptoms such as pain, muscle tightness, headaches, or numbness to name a few. Doctors of Chiropractic use a variety of treatments in their practices to heal patients without the use of drugs or surgery. Chiropractic joint manipulations (adjustments) are what chiropractors are more commonly known for. By mobilizing joints in the spine, neck, and even the hips, wrists and feet, a chiropractor can help correct biomechanical imbalances, alleviate pain, restore normal body function, and boost immunity.
How do chiropractic adjustments work?
- When one joint is locked and not functioning (in your spine for instance) then the other joints and muscles around that spot have to work twice as hard to get their job done.
- The disturbance in normal joint function creates irritation to the muscles, nerves, and connective tissue around that area.
- Mobilization of the joints that are not moving properly can thus correct the initial imbalance and allow the body to heal itself naturally.
- These 'adjustments' are especially effective in the spine, where they can often have profound effects on not only the body's nervous system, but also organ systems as well.
- The types of adjustments used by the chiropractors of Natural Balance Wellness Center are quick, painless, and most people find them to be quite satisfying and enjoyable.
If you are enduring chronic pain, muscle tightness, headaches, or simply not finding the answers for your health concerns please call to set up a consultation with Drs. Matt and Sara Howard. The doctors are qualified in treating a variety of health conditions. They continue to help numerous patients of all ages and backgrounds find relief and to simply feel better.

Taos loves the blues for some reason. Maybe it's the hard-driving rhythms or the beat that gets you up and dancing, but locals just eat it up. Better bring a big old spoon because Taos Plaza Live is back and serving it up big time.
The weekly free concert hosted by the Taos County Chamber of Commerce and supported by local organizations and businesses will feature The Blue Reys and the Cullen Winter Blues Band today (July 11), 6-8 p.m. on Taos Plaza. Admission is free and everybody is invited.
We cornered Winter and asked him about what's happening with his band. Even though the announcement says he playing with Chicken Sedan, one of his varied iterations, Winter said, "Chicken Sedan is not performing."
Instead, he said it's the Cullen Winter Blues band. "No interesting stories around that name," he joked, especially after this reporter's inquiry about how Chicken Sedan may have come about. "Thomas 'Papa Smurf' Zicarello, our Chicken Sedan drummer, is leaving for Barcelona this week, so it was an easy switch to do the blues band," he added.
Off-the-wall question of the week: Contrast what it's like working in the band and working on Subarus?
"I am very grateful to have the opportunity to do both," the musician who doubles as an in-demand mechanic said. "Playing music was the direction I was on very early on as a kid. I am aware that there aren't many people that are lucky enough to get paid for doing something that they have a passion for and as a musician I consider myself very fortunate to be among them. Even more, I can do it in a very special small town. It doesn't get any better than that.
"My passion for cars is more about the enjoyment of driving and sometimes racing them. The building and modifying process that leads to that is very satisfying and I enjoy doing that kind of work for others that enjoy their cars. It must be said that for many, a car is merely an appliance, but somebody has to maintain and fix the appliances, too. We are very honored that so many choose to bring their Subarus to us at Taos Suby Garage and we take pride in what we do."
He's played in a variety of bands that chip away at a different segment of blues, surf, rockabilly and plain old rock 'n' roll: What sets this one apart?
"I am super happy to get back to playing rhythm and blues again - we didn't have a home after the Sagebrush stopped paying professional band wages two and a half years ago - and have a fantastic new group to perform with. Dan Lizdas is with us again on keys. We started working together more than 20 years ago. Matt Billingsley (drums) and Rick Haltermann (bass) are a true pleasure to work with. I am amazed at how hard those two worked to learn the gobs of material that Dan and I have amassed going back to the Alley Cantina days. The chemistry is great and we are all having a blast playing together."
Winter left town for a while, went off and did stuff with cars - what drew him back?
"I didn't so much leave music as I left Taos and didn't find any traction playing with folks in New England during the few years that I was living there. The car thing was really just a lucky break in that it provided work and opportunity for me while my daughter was attending prep school. While she got ready for college, I learned more about Subarus."
Ok, so what's the biggest charge you get out of playing live music?
"It is the intangible buzz or high or whatever that you want to call it when the exchange of energy occurs between us and our audience. As they give energy to us, we feed off it amplify it and give it back. This magic cycle starts happening and it is indescribable."
Finally, Winter said he wants to bring "shameless attention" to his gig at KTAOS, "which we are skipping this week to play at TPL," but will return to the Solar Center bar on Thursday (July 18) from 7-9 p.m. "I also want to thank the wonderful and loyal audience here in Taos that supports local live music."
Opening for Winter's band at 6 p.m. will be The Blue Reys.
Blue Reys formed in 2010 as Rock Bottom Blues and continued as Little LeRoy and Le Blue Reys before settling on the present name. The Blue Reys plays its own original up-tempo blues songs alongside covers of traditional jumpin' blues, soul blues-tinged ballads, jazz-blues and bluesy versions of rock numbers. The band members are all seasoned musicians in their 60s and 70s.
Taos Plaza Live will take another break next week for the Taos Fiestas. Watch for its return July 25 when the Southwest Musicians and the Dwayne Ortega Band take the stage. For more, call (575) 751-8800.

More than 15 months ago,we wrote
about how the street in front of theHouston Press
building, in the 1600 block of Milam, was home to one of the loudest, cheapest jerry-rigged street repairs around -- a bunch of steel plates laid over some defective narrow drains in the bus and turn lane.
The newly installed "trench drains" had almost immediately proven to be not up to the job of carrying the traffic, so every so often a bus or large truck would give us a nice booming noise as it cruised over the metal plates.
It was Metro who put the drains in as part of the massive rehab project for downtown streets, but now they're the city's problem.
The city told us 15 months ago the metal plates, which had been in place for six months or so, were only a temporary solution until replacement parts came.
Fifteen months later, nothing's changed.
"We are working on a fix as we write and have been trying to find the right part since we discussed it last summer/fall," says Alvin Wright of the Public Works Department.
Trying to find the right part? Don't they have catalogs or something?
"The issue surrounds making a fix for all the trench drains for the entire area as well as trying to find the best fit for the fix that is fiscally sound," he says, from his office well out of earshot of the booms.

Not to worry, though: "I should have a more definite answer on when the work will start within the next few weeks," he says.
Ooookay. In a few more weeks, there may be a "definite answer" to when the work will eventually start to fix this problem that's been hanging on for almost two years.
We're reassured.

Technique: oil on canvas, putty knife, brush, thick texture of paint. The painting is varnished and signed by the author.
Pitsko Giennadij was born in 1970 in Belarus. His works are the extremely colourful tales of what surrounds him. The artist uses a paintbrush and a putty knife. Twenty years ago in Sopot he saw an exhibition of Jerzy Duda-Gracz and at first sight fell in love with creating with a putty knife. Since then, he has consistently been working on this technique. He also rejected the traditional way of depicting figures, using the experiences of contemporary painters instead.
His paintings can be found in numerous private collections around the world.
The colour reproduction may be slightly different from the original - this may be due to the photographic technique or settings of your monitors.

Are you prepared for a 'marangka' tree?
Science researchers at the Visayas State University (VSU) are studying the possibility of using 'marang' as rootstock for 'langka' (jackfruit) to make its trees more resistant to bud rot.
The strengthening of tropical fruit trees is one of six projects being monitored at the VSU by the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development, Department of Science and Technology (DOST-PCAARRD).
The projects are jointly funded by the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) and DOST-PCAARRD.
Tests on the susceptibility of different Artocarpus species showed that 'marang' (Artocarpus odoratissimus) is most resistant to the P. palmivora disease, which causes bud rot.
Trials on 'marang' as a disease-resistant rootstock for its "cousin," the jackfruit, are ongoing.
The other projects at the VSU include genetic markers for the carabao mango, tissue culture of more resistant abaca hybrids, and mass propagation of better coconut planting materials.

Get to know Propeller's world-class team in our ongoing employee spotlight. Today, we talk to McCain McMurray, who serves as a field success engineer on the customer success team. He's based out of our Denver, Colorado, office.
What do you do at Propeller?
I'm a member of the customer success team, where I focus on two things: training and support.
At the end of the day, I help people solve problems. I help them understand our software and solve the issues that motivated them to buy Propeller in the first place. Then I help them troubleshoot and resolve problems they might encounter when they're using drones in the field or software in the cloud.
From the day that someone picks the Propeller Platform, I'm there as a resource from initial training to their entire experience using Propeller on the job.
What's your career background?
I have a bachelor's degree in environmental science from Duke, which got me into geographic information systems (GIS). I did some traveling afterward undergrad and ended up doing a master's degree focused on remote sensing down in Australia, at the University of Queensland. I learned that from that degree that I really liked being in the field, and got interested in drones as a result. So, pretty much since grad school, since 2013, I've been working with drones.
Where did you grow up?
My childhood was split between the San Francisco Bay area and Washington, DC. First half in California, and second half in DC—so I'm bicoastal. Now, happy to be right in the middle of those two, in Colorado.
Before working at Propeller, what's the strangest or most interesting job you've held?
For part of summer, I worked on a boat in Alaska. It was mostly moving people and materials from the mainland out to a construction site on an island. But it was pretty hard to beat seeing whales, and otters, and the Alaskan coastline everyday. The guy I worked for also took me hunting and fishing, which was a highlight for sure.
What's your favorite Propeller memory?
One of my first customers had some end-of-month stockpile reporting that he needed to finish right away.
I was able to help him resolve those issues—found a technical solution that got him the numbers he needed. I remember he called me "bro," and it was a rewarding feeling—that he was so excited he let down his guard. There was a good sense of camaraderie.
Any talents, secret superpowers, or fun facts about yourself to share?
I'm exceptionally talented at getting lost while leading friends on trips in the backcountry. I usually refuse to backtrack and get the group stuck in dense vegetation or on the side of a cliff face. So, I catch a lot of flak for that—especially since I studied maps!
If you could be any piece of worksite equipment, what would you be and why?
I had some experience flying drones at an open-pit mine. There, they were driving around these 300-ton trucks that could fit four school buses in the truck bed. Seeing them really made me feel like a little kid again, and I've always wanted to drive one. So I'd pick that.
Given the chance to invite any person, living or dead to dinner, who would you pick and why?
John Muir, the mountaineer and explorer. I've read some of his books, and his perspective on public lands and the wild experiences he had when the country was a lot more raw . . . I think he'd be a really interesting person to talk to.
Do you have an office nickname? If so, what is it and how did you get it?
Pretty much anything with "McMc" or "MacMac." When your name's McCain McMurray, it lends itself to people easily making up nicknames.
If you could do any job on a worksite for just one day, which would you choose?
I've love to be a surveyor in the traditional sense, with a base and rover, on an open-pit mine.
Being in the drone industry for a couple of years now, I've had the opportunity to work with a number of them. I respect what they do. Being able to dig into the nitty gritty of their perspective, seeing what they do that makes them successful would be really valuable. And open-pit mines are just fascinating. There's a tremendous about of daily change; there's explosives, cyanide, and 300-ton haul trucks. They're also often located in remote areas, which is appealing to me.
Want to join Team Propeller? We're hiring!

Patches, Expansions and the vanishing world
As you may know, patch 4.0.1 is right around the corner. With this patch, all of the basic game mechanics changes will be live (talents, glyphs, User Interface, the works). It also might allow us to work on the next pre-expansion event, since they are now on the PTR for testing. According to what I know, patch 4.0.3 would be the Cataclysm itself, changing the old world forever and making everything ready for the expansion. You might not be able to fly in Azeroth yet, but you should be able to get a feel for the place you will be spending the rest of your game time in.
(Spoilers!): This post will contain information regarding questlines which will be removed, changes in achievements and the like for Cataclysm. If you want to be surprised and not know what's in store – stop reading here.
Out with the old
This also means that some changes will permanently end our ability as player to get our hands on certain achievements, gear and questlines. In other words, some things need to be done now if you ever want to get them done.
Scepter of the Shifting Sands
According to reports from the PTR, this one's broken. The NPC Narain Soothefancy has been moved, and no longer gives the quests. According to Bornakk the quest will be fine in 4.0.1, but when the Cataclysm hits (4.0.3?) it will definitely break. I myself completed the Red and Green questlines and am a few Elementium Ore away from finishing the Blue questline. I suggest that if you have the intention of doing this line, start now.
Each run in Blackwing Lair has a chance to net you 1-6 Elementium Ore. So far I've never seen more than 6 drop, but if you are lucky it can happen. They also can be bought on the Auction House, but usually for ridiculous amounts of gold. As far as show-stoppers, the Elementium needed for crafting the Arcanite Buoy is definitely the worst.
The [Zul'gurub] and [Deadliest Catch] achievements become a Feat of Strength, and being Exalted with the Zandalar as well. The whole area has become a leveling zone on the PTR, so it seems that if you want those Trolls to like you and have it on record, you'd have to do it now. The Zulian Tiger and Razzashi Raptor are two rare drops from the bosses, and there's no telling if they will become available through some other means, or are simply gone.
It's not all bad, however. Zul'gurub has a 3-day lockout, can be soloed by a tank or 2-manned by anything else, and awards 2.5K-3K rep per run. During the run you will also find rep items (coins and bijoux) which can be turned in from more rep. A combination of 3 coins of the right types awards 25 rep, while destroying a bijou gives you 75 rep. Each of these actions also awards you with 1 Zandalar Honor Token, which you can use to gain another 50 rep.
A good tip would be that if you have well-geared alts, to do multiple runs in ZG. If your character's less powerful, find others who also need the rep. Between your characters you will easily amass the rep and items to become Exalted in two or three weeks. You can also buy them on the Auction House, but now that people are aware that they are a rare commodity now, the prices are going up.
You also gain some rep by handing in the Head of Hakkar for the first time, and obtaining your class gear from the Zandalar.
Epic Class Quests
It's not 100% sure to me whether the Epic Class quests (Hunter, Paladin, Warlock and Priest) will vanish or not, but it's a fact that there's no better time to get them done than right now.
The Hunter quest begins with the Petrified Leaf dropping from Majordomo Executus in Molten Core, and leads you to a ring of Elder Trees in Felwood. A good write-up of the questline can be found on Wowwiki and WoWHead and at level 70+ the quest is a breeze. The reward is an epic bow which sprouts flowers, a quiver and a staff. While not the most awesome pieces of eye-candy, it does have that "I did that" feel.
The Priest quest likewise begins with Majordomo's chest and the Eye of Divinity that drops from it. The second part of it is the Eye of Shadow dropping from Elite demons in Winterspring and Blasted Lands. Again, a full description of the quest can be found on Wowwiki and Wowhead.Your reward for this quest is Benediction, a Holy Priest's staff, which can be transformed into the shadow-staff Anathema.
Paladin and Warlock quests revolve around their mounts, and start at the class trainer. Nowadays you can get these mounts from the trainer without doing the quest, and completing the quest is a Feat of Strength. But with changes to the areas in which the quests are done, such as the Plaguelands, make it impossible to complete it. Even if this is not intentional, it could be a long time until that'd be fixed.
Crafting Recipes
When dungeons and areas are changed, it is possible that loot tables are adjusted for mobs in the area, or that vendors are (re)moved. Examples are the Gnome vendors in Azshara where you can get the engineering schematic for the water-breathing helm. I can imagine that with the Goblins invading the area, they'd be taking up their business and leave, taking the pattern with them.
I'd recommend getting the addon Ackis' Recipe List and using it. When you open your crafting pane, you see a button called "scan". It will then give you the locations of each recipe for that tradeskill, if you do not know it yet. Especially in the old world, a lot of Blacksmithing recipes could be gotten via quests started in areas you'd normally not spend time anymore, such as Winterspring. With this, you can be sure to satisfy your completionist's soul while you still can.
Unusual Questlines
There are tons of unusual questlines, which are very long, expensive or out of the way. Since the design for Cataclysm is to streamline and enhance the leveling experience, some of these are likely to go away. A good list on this can be found here, so you can check if there's any in there that seem interesting. If you feel bored and want to relive some of the old days, go and do some of these old quests. Do bring lunch however, some of these take more travelling time than actual questing!
I've said it before, but it's worth repeating. There's no way you can predict what will stay and what will go in Cataclysm. Maybe pets and mounts will become available through alternative means, maybe not. If you want to get some of these classic things done, now is the time, because there's no turning back once the Cataclysm hits.
It is safe to say that the TBC and Wrath quests and items will be largely unchanged, except for no longer offering the special achievements for Northrend raids. So while Invincible and Mimiron's Head are still to be found when doing the hard modes for LK and Yogg, respectively, you will not be able to get Conqueror of Ulduar, Undying, Immortal and the like.
Best thing to do is make a checklist, in order of how badly you want to get these done along with the Classic stuff, and see what can be done. Others are likely to share your goal, and making this known may spark quite a rush. In our guild, a one-time BWL for the Red scepter shard become a weekend special, as did Onyxia. Achieve your goal, inspire others!

4.0.1 will likely drop tomorrow. Do you think that ZG will be gone with 4.0.1 or with 4.0.3 (the Shattering)? I'm wondering if I should skip out of running MD/BWL tonight with my guild in order to do ZG instead. I think I just need one more run to get exalted with Zandalar.
Well, patch 4.0.1 should not remove ZG, no worries. Since its change is part of the shattered Azeroth, this means it will not be gone until 4.0.3.
But, if you want to make sure to get the Zandalar to Exalted, just buy the rep stuff from the auction house (bijoux and coins) and turn them in at the Island.
Also note that Tuesday is patch day for the US, but that for European realms, patch day is on Wednesday. A very important distinction which allows me to play on my free day.

Groupe SEB Acquires Wilbur Curtis
WIlbur Curtis Headquarters
A French conglomerate announced it is buying Los Angeles-based Wilbur Curtis for an undisclosed sum. Wilbur Curtis, founded in 1941, is one of America's largest tea and coffee brewing equipment makers, earning $90 million annually and employing 300.
Groupe SEB, owners of Krups, small appliance brands and cookware, said it is staking a claim in the US coffee equipment segment. In 2016 the company acquired WMF, a German manufacturer of super-automatic espresso machines that owns the Schaerer and WMF brands. Clientele overlap as both Wilber Curtis and SEB supply foodservice operators in hotel, restaurant, and convenience stores.
Thierry de La Tour d'Artaise, SEB chairman and c.e.o., called the acquisition "a very valuable strategic complement" that will result in SEB becoming "one of the leaders in the professional coffee business in the United States."
"Wilbur Curtis has built and maintains a long-term relationship with its customers, leveraging its professional salesforce and ensuring extensive national coverage," writes SEB.
Groupe SEB, headquartered in Ecully, France, employs 33,000 in 150 countries, and manufacturers about 300 million products annually.(Learn more: groupeseb.com)

Bokksu Review March 2017
Bokksu is a premium subscription service for people to discover delicious snacks and teas from all over Japan. Having lived in and snacked through Japan, Founder Danny Taing curates a gourmet box for subscribers every month filled with authentic Japanese snacks and tea pairings. They kindly sent us this box for review.
Ummm….did you see last month's Bokksu review!! If not, you MUST check it out, you can find it HERE. It was one of the best snack boxes I have received in the 4 (almost 5) years I have been reviewing subscription boxes. It will go down in history as one of my all-time favourite subscription boxes.
But enough about that, let's talk about this month's box. The theme for the March box is Snacks Over Flowers:
March is the most highly anticipated month of the year due to the blooming sakura and delicious Spring foods. The Japanese idiom Hana Yori Dango roughly translates to "food is better than flowers" and advises one to prefer substantial items such as food over decorative items such as flowers. We absolutely agree with this old idiom, which is why we've curated a blossoming assortment of sakura, strawberry, and plum snacks to help you celebrate the upcoming Spring renewal!
I have to say, I absolutely LOVE the themes Bokksu comes up with. It's one of the reasons I get so excited about this box.
Sakura Rusk by Tokyo Rusk
Twice baked in the oven with sakura butter, you will enjoy the mild hint of cherry blossoms in this delicate baguette slice. Salted sakura petals are mixed into the butter, which is why you can see the small sakura flakes on top!
Good to Know: A cherry blossom is the flower of any of several trees of genus Prunus, particularly the Japanese cherry, Prunus serrulata, which is called sakura after the Japanese.
I love crispy snacks. I like to have an assortment in the pantry at all times.
Taste Test: I made myself a cup of tea after writing the review and decided to do a little taste test. These are light and crispy and buttery, with just a hint of sweetness. SO GOOD!!
Sakura Saku Saku Senbei by Tsuboya
Sakura leaves are perfectly layered into this thinly baked senbei. Don't be fooled by the pretty pink color though, the secret ingredient of chili pepper gives this senbei a slight but pleasant kick.
Good to Know: Senbei are a type of Japanese rice crackers. They come in various shapes, sizes, and flavors, usually savory but sometimes sweet. Senbei are often eaten with green tea as a casual snack and offered to visiting house guests as a courtesy refreshment.
I've had senbei many times before and these little rice crackers are definitely a favourite. I love the flavor they have included in this month's box. These will be my little afternoon treat alongside my cup of tea.
Taste Test: I thought I was going to love these but they are actually my least favourite snack in the box. That doesn't mean they aren't good though. I just LOVE all the other snacks a lot more.
White Strawberry by Qua
Each strawberry is first freeze-dried and then soaked in white chocolate, giving it the perfect balance of soft and crunchy. Enjoy the delicious combination of sweet and sour with each bite.
Ummm…..how good do these look! I've never received a Japanese snack like this before. White chocolate isn't for everyone, but I happen to LOVE it. I rarely have it in the house so it feels like a special treat.
Taste Test: I am officially addicted to these!! They are ten times better than they look! They are tart and sweet and decadent, all at the same time. But not overly sweet. I could easily eat an entire bag of these in one sitting.
Pocky Midi Strawberry Fromage by Glico
Pocky Midi Strawberry Fromage is a luxurious and seasonally limited Pocky. This beautifully chunky Pocky has a thicker, creamier coating of strawberry cheesecake and chocolate on a shorter cookie stick.
Good to Know: Pocky is a Japanese snack food produced by Ezaki Glico. Pocky was first sold in 1966, and consists of chocolate-coated biscuit sticks. It was named after the Japanese onomatopoetic word pokkin.
You can NEVER go wrong with Pocky! Never, ever, ever! The strawberry cheesecake flavor combo sounds absolutely perfect!
Taste Test: I never should have tasted one of these. They are AMAZING. I can't stop eating them. Definitely my new favourite Pocky flavor.
Rufeel Baked Jam Biscuits by Bourbon
Baked with a layer of strawberry jam, this tasty biscuit opens with a tart strawberry freshness and ends with a delightful buttery aftertaste.
Taste Test: The biscuit bottom is buttery and not too crunchy. It's a little like shortbread. The jam layer balances it out nicely.
Languly Strawberry by Ito Seika
This crumbly butter cookie infuses your mouth with a perfect blend of white chocolate and strawberry.
The strawberry and white chocolate flavor combo they have going on is making me very happy.
Taste Test: This one is right up there with the Pocky. I'm tempted to say I like it better. The cookie to white chocolate ratio is perfect. Not overly sweet. Amazing with tea!
Ume Sable by Shoeido
Compared to regular cookies, Sable are made to be more buttery and crunchy. This ume flower-shaped sable contains finely chopped plum and shies (perilla) leaves. The fruity sourness of the plum compliments nicely with the sweet taste of the butter cookie.
Good to Know: Ume are a Japanese fruit that have a distinctively sour taste. They're similar to an apricot or a plum. The ume plays an important role in Japanese culture because it's the first tree to bloom each Spring.
Taste Test: Yup, love these ones too! They are the perfect afternoon treat. Not very sweet at all. More buttery than sweet.
Tea Pairing: Ume Kobucha
Ume Kobucha Tea is a traditional Japanese Spring tea that combines plum harvested from the beautiful Wakayama Prefecture. Due to the slightly sweet and savoury combination of plum, shiso leaves, and kelp, it can be served either as tea or soup. Disolve one packet of tea grains in about 3-4 oz of hot water.
I love, love, love that Bokksu includes a tea pairing in every box. I actually forgot about it when I was doing the YouTube unboxing and thought these little packets were some sort of sugar. They really do create an experience with their snack boxes.
Bokksu Review March 2017 – Final Thoughts
I have to say, I really and truly am loving my Bokksu boxes. They are so much fun to unbox. I love the process from beginning to end. And this is coming from someone who typically doesn't like Japanese treats. I think they have successfully turned me into a Japanese treat addict. I thought that last month's box was maybe an exception and that I wouldn't love any other Bokksu boxes as much as that one, but I have to say, this month's box is almost as perfect as last month's box. The packaging is gorgeous, the product card is easy to follow and descriptive, and the Sakura themed treats are absolutely perfect. I love the mixture of sakura, strawberry and plum flavours this month. When I opened the box and saw a sea of pink treats staring back at me I was overcome with happiness. I can't wait to see what other themes they come up with this year.
Bokksu is a subscription box of premium Japanese snacks and teas delivered from Japan to your door every month.

- volunteer sign up (collecting appropriate information about the volunteer in this process)
- scheduling/matching volunteers for activities (this could be done by a coordinator or by the volunteers themselves, if activities/schedule was available to them)
Would be Nice:
- searching for volunteers (allowing organization or individuals to search volunteers, ideally not just online for everyone to see to protect volunteer privacy!)
- volunteer orientation (what should they know? do they have to sign something? onboarding process communicated or ideally fully enacted online)
- contacting volunteers (this should be easy and possibly be able to be done as the full volunteer group for large scale communications)
Option 1: Handle the absolute needs only with an easy solution people already kind of get.
Option 2: Code something custom for yourself and be ready to do some planning.
Pros of anything custom is it typically works with what you already have to do exactly what you need it to do. Custom basically equals perfect for you.
Cons would be it would cost. Custom also means time and time means money. If you were going to use something across multiple schools or districts, sharing that cost with them could lower the price (but it also means your perfect solution also has to be theirs, which means more planning/conversations.)
Option 3: Find a third party solution and be ready for trial and error.
The idea with a third party solution is that someone else has already solved your problem and will sell you the solution to yours. Everything I've found related to volunteer management is software trying to do lots of other things (donor relations! events calendars! etc.) That said, I did just find this: http://
In many cases, we can transform the phrase 'third party solution' into 'awkward sales call to find out how much it really costs and what it really does'. You may have to try a few things before you find a third party solution that works for your project.
I'll stand by what I said and I could take this three option approach to almost any tech problem. You either go basic so you can deploy something quickly and at least partially fix a problem; do something custom and have lots of talks about feelings; or find something that already exists and is 'good enough'. Depending on your timeframe, budget, and internal politics, the right approach may become apparent to you.
We'll see what they decide about volunteer management but it's nice to know they (and you!) have some options on that front.

Instead of boring you with a race report I am writing to show you how a world cup looks from a mechanics perspective.
However, because I am too egotistical not to touch upon my race, I got 32nd. Plus, I want to share some sick pics Meg snapped.
My ribs were not, and are still not, 100% from crashing in Italy. Therefore, I was going into this race timid. Not timid to the point where I wouldn't go hard but rather unsure how it would go. Training this past week was helping my skepticism to hang around. Wrenching hard on the bars when givin'er up hill or off the start line was causing me to wince. I was sure that the adrenaline would numb the pain but, I am sure, the two ibuprofen and Redbull I shot gunned before the race helped too.
This proved to be true for the first 3/4 of the race, however, the last 3 laps started to hurt and after crossing the finish line I couldn't stand up straight.
But who cares! The work was done and I was pumped to put in a good result.
More pressing matters: I sat down with Doug Sumi, my main man, to ask him how a world cup weekend goes pre, during, and after. Doug starting on the road with the Jamis road team, has since moved to the Hincapie Citadel road team, and started wrench CX tw0 years ago for Raleigh-Clement. He came to Europe last year as Caroline Manni's mechanic for world cups and her World Champ silver, so he knows the ropes in the Euro pits.
I asked him how working with USAC is and some other questions to better help you all understand how mechanicing works. Listen to our conversation at the youtube video below.
I didn't know how to embed an audio file so I had to make a picture slide show over the audio. Sorry in advance for the background noise… I am a hack and Doug was getting ready to head over to the service course while I was recording.
It's off to Luxembourg on Wednesday! World Champs in 6 days. Woot Woot!

There are many homes across New Zealand that have Colonial style windows that are strong in craftsmanship and in character and so of course, many homeowners wouldn't want to replace their uniqueness. However, most of these leadlight windows are single-glazed and therefore lose a significant amount of heat during winter, also if not taken care of, leadlight windows can leak air and water and can cause all sorts of issues.
When you surround your leadlight panel inside double glazing, it gives you the opportunity to repair and refurbish the leadlight so that it can last and provide the performance of new double glazed windows.
The advantages of double glazing your leadlight windows are:
- It can improve the insulation of your home up to 75%.
- Reduces power expenses, which means you'll make back the cost of your double glazing windows over time
- Reduces noise by as much as 70%
- Reduces condensation, creating a drier and healthier home
- Increases UV protection
Improve the thermal insulation but keep the heritage of your home.
Leadlight, coloured and stained glass windows are Theromoglaz's specialty. We can retrofit your existing leadlight windows without changing the appearance, so you can hang on to the classic character while you benefit from today's technology. The double glazing will protect the leadlight condition, ensuring it will last a very long time.
Besides the benefits of double glazing, retrofitting offers many other benefits such as;
- It can be more
cost effectivethan replacing existing windows
- Maintains the integrity and character of your home
- Utilises the existing window and door frames
- Adds value to your home

The province of British Columbia Canada has recorded 38 fires while growing medical marihuana.
The RCMP1 and the local fire department have inspected 1,800 legal and illegal places, the results are lack of compliance with electrical and fire codes, mold, and some of them have done some structural modifications on the building without a permit.
The extraction of the butane hash oil is a common operation in this industry that uses a solvent to wash or soak the raw material.
Have you assessed the Hazards and Risks involved in your operations?
Your company might use toluene, methanol or ethanol during the extraction process. These liquids are extremely flammable.
You might use liquefied gases such as butane, propane, and carbon dioxide. The liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is the most dangerous.
There are two types of extracting operations:
- Open-Blasting Extractions. They are the cheapest and simplest, but the most dangerous to perform. Why? Because the process is exposed to the ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure.
- Close-Loop Extractions. Although this is the safer method because you control the ambient temperature and pressure, it has been found by the inspectors that pumps and other equipment are not fire rated according to NFPA 30 "Flammable and Combustible Liquids Handling and Storage" that is referred in the Provincial Fire Codes in Canada.
Also, it has been found a lack of understanding of the gases and liquids behavior, how to control ignition sources and equipment's building materials.
Here is a quick questionnaire to know if your medical marihuana extraction process is safe and in compliance.
Does your ventilation system is rated according to the local, provincial or federal codes, standards, and regulations?
Are you aware of electrostatic energy generation in your process?
Do you handle and store the solvents according to local, provincial or federal regulations and standards?
Does your electrical installation is rated to perform solvent extraction?
Do you understand the hazards and risks if you use carbon dioxide?
Do you understand the hazards and risks if you use liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)?
Do you understand the hazards and risks of your every stage of the process?
Do you have a management of change system to control any modification of your process?
Do you have an inventory of all hazards involved in your operation?
Does your maintenance program follow the local, provincial or federal codes, standards, and regulations?
Have you developed the emergency and fire plans?
Do you have a comprehensive security system to avoid arson or other delinquent activities?
If you answer "YES" to all these questions, you are applying the Risk-Based Process Safety (RBSP) elements; if not, you need support to cover all the safety aspects of the business.
In the end, identifying all the risk involved in all the areas of your business, it will make you adapt quickly to any change.

Fredette, who scored 21 points in his first NBA preseason game over the weekend, is still flying under the radar, relatively speaking, as a King, Sports Illustrated reports.
"By the time Fredette was becoming the nation's leading scorer in his senior season with the Cougars," writes Sam Amick, "he had given up on the idea of going out and even took his final semester of classes online so each and every session didn't become a celebrity appearance. Jimmer-mania hasn't hit Sacramento yet, and that's just fine by him."

good news to! I hope Philippines will develop homegrown players and not rely on recycled players from abroad. It feels that they are coming to Philippines to revive their careers, which should not be the case. Although, there may be some really good fil-foreigners but the rest are really mediocreReplyDeleteReplies

Most of them know the chances of playing for their home country is nil..
So they come up with reason like they love playing for the country etc..
Ask the answer this question honestly..
If thier country of birth call them up the same time with azkals..
Who will they choose to represent??
- Anonymous2 November 2013 at 18:25
Remember back in the days when players like Dennis Cagara was asked to play for the azkals. Answer was NO. He didnt see himself as filipino, only danish, and he was still a good player back then and was one of the contenders to get a spot for the danish team.Delete
And back then there was no Palami with a deep pocket, no fancy trips to the Philippines on business class, and no training camps here and there. Everything changes when there is some fame and more money involved, or else they would just say no.
Everything changed after the 2010 Suzuki Cup, where the azkals had a lucky run, even in the qualifiers they had their asses full of goldielocks. Laos totally dominated the game, and the azkals shouldve been 5-0 down at HT, but this is football, anything can happen.
After that, they gained popularity, and thats when they really started to get interesting players. Before a player like Chad Gould could show up and get playing time without having a team to play for back in England, now we can get Stephan Schrock who is a regular starter in the Bundesliga. There really is big contrasts.
Philippine football has a loooong way to go. We may be one of the best in the region, but lets be honest, thats all we have to show for. Philippine football = azkals.

Ethridge is not playing also..Delete
Y hestill get called up for peace cup??

When local-trained football players become as good as or better than available foreign-based Filipino football players, then national team will be composed more of loca--based players because it is a LOT cheaper for the team..........ReplyDelete

Kudos to ABS-CBN and UAAP for agreeing to show on TV the football matches of UAAP.......A big move for football. Sana tuloy-tuloy na pagyabong ng football............ReplyDelete

A man named James Battey wants to be the permanent president of the California stem cell agency. He is quitting his current, very important job because it has new conflict of interest standards that would cost his family "a lot of money."
By most measures, Battey appears to be qualified to head CIRM. He is head of the National Institutes of Health's stem cell program, but is retiring in September.
He is not alone. Three other high level researchers are leaving the NIH because of the new rules.
The case of James Battey, his colleagues and the NIH illuminates some of the conundrums of conflicts of interest. The situation suggests that conflict policies should start out very restrictive and be eased later, if necessary. It illustrates the very real personal burdens that can laid on top researchers and others. And it demonstrates some of the difficulties in controlling the most insidious sorts of conflicts, the ones arising from a lifetime of belonging, so to speak, to the same club.
Battey said he is leaving the NIH because "the new rules imposed an insurmountable problem for me," according to a piece in the Washington Post by Michael S. Rosenwald and Rick Weiss.
"I manage a family trust...which supports the education of my father's seven grandchildren, and it contains assets I'm told I'd have to divest. That would cost a lot of money, and I can't do that to my family," Battey was quoted as saying.
Quite justifiably he may think that the situation is not fair. He once operated under the rules, but then the rules changed through no fault of his own. As a result, the NIH is losing a valued executive and scientist.
An identical situation could occur in California if it has to toughen its conflict standards someplace down the road. It could lose valued employees as a result and then waste time, energy and money replacing them. Better now to be more restrictive than face embittered staff later.
The NIH situation shows how individuals can personally feel the burden of complying with conflict standards, something critics do not always seem to fully understand. It goes beyond consulting arrangements that yield hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensation.
One cancer researcher with the NIH was recently told she could not accept a $200 train ticket to present a paper at a conference for a physician's education group, according to the Post. The researcher said it was embarrassing to cancel her appearance.
The newspaper quoted a legal opinion prepared for a group of senior agency scientists that laid out the scope of the new conflict policy.
"Basically (it) means anything NIHers do outside -- whether getting paid for it or not, from singing in a jazz group to selling art or jewelry, from volunteering at charity organizations to membership in a school or community organization to developing their own small business completely unrelated to biomedical science -- requires prior NIH approval," the memo says.
"We find this very disturbing," the scientists said. "It is intrusive and scary. It suggests the NIH owns our lives away from work."
The NIH rules additionally touch on the web of relationships that nearly all successful persons build during their careers. The Post said that many NIH employees are barred from holding executive positions with trade or professional organizations, even on a volunteer basis.
One NIH researcher said it could lead to an unpleasant backlash. "We will be cut off, disenfranchised from our academic colleagues."
Most conflict codes, including the ones now in place at CIRM, can't deal with the ambiguous issues that can arise from the relationships that are built during a career. Sometimes they are formal as in leadership positions in professional organizations. Other times they involve informal or past connections to men and women who have assisted a person during his professional or business life, either financially or with advice or friendship. Sometimes it is training and shared experiences that create a way of thinking that imbues a person's approach to business or science.
The California stem cell agency has built into it a reliance on persons you might call "members of the club" who dominate the Oversight Committee. They bring special expertise, experience and skills to the effort, which is to be valued. They also bring a lifetime of comfortable relationships with other accomplished persons, people they have worked with, rely on and trust. It would be unrealistic not to expect them to go back to these people to seek their help and to help them.
It is also unrealistic to expect codes to catch all of the subtle conflicts and abuses that can and do come up involving such relationships. The best watch dogs, in fact, are other members of the Oversight Committee and CIRM employee peers. They may be the only ones who can stop a breach before it becomes serious enough to become a scandal.
We welcome and will publish comments on CIRM or the failings of this blog. Please send them to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno has insisted he has no regrets over his part in Southampton's late winner at St Mary's on Sunday.
In a back and forth clash, Ralph Hasenhuttl's side claimed all three points when Leno misjudged a cross from Shane Long, allowing Saints striker Charlie Austin to head home into an empty net.
Despite acknowledging his mistake, the 26-year-old revealed he was simply 'unlucky' in conceding the goal and that were the situation to repeat itself, he would have no qualms about trying to go for the ball again.
Leno said (as quoted by the Evening Standard): "The last goal was a little bit unlucky for me because I wanted to get the cross because Austin was completely free and it was so close.
"I touched the ball a little bit but I missed it so it was a little bit unlucky. No risk, no fun. Maybe next time I will get the ball or I will stay on the line look at the ball and nobody says 'you came out and didn't get the ball'. That's the life of a goalkeeper but I would do it again."
The result meant Arsenal's long unbeaten run came to an end, but Leno revealed that Wednesday's upcoming Carabao Cup quarter-final match against north London rivals Tottenham is an opportunity to start another streak.
Arsenal fans to Bernd Leno: pic.twitter.com/bdzvgCIR1w— Coral (@Coral) December 16, 2018
He added: "After 22 games, you can lose a game so it is disappointing but now nobody talks anymore about the unbeaten run and we can look forward.
"We have on Wednesday another big game and maybe now we can start another run."

Morris, MN – Superior Industries, Inc., a U.S. manufacturer of conveyor systems and their related components, says it manufactures the highest capacity telescoping radial stacker on the planet. Measuring 72-inches wide by 190-feet long, the high capacity TeleStacker® Conveyor can stockpile aggregates and other bulk material at rates up to 5,000 tons per hour.
Since building its first telescopic radial stacker in 1997, Superior has since designed and built 1,000 more units to become the leading builder of telescoping stackers in the world. The innovate units are working on six of the world's seven continents, building high capacity stockpiles and improving operating costs at ports and terminal facilities.
Robust Undercarriage Support
During initial design of the first high capacity units, Superior engineers developed a new, more durable undercarriage support system to keep the stacker stable and crews safe. Known as the FB® Undercarriage, this patented, robust support system is simply designed with more steel for rock-solid bracing at the stacker's most crucial points of stress.
Speaking more technically, this upgraded undercarriage support results in 17-times less structural deflection when compared to competitor units. The engineering term is defined as the degree to which a structural element – in this case a conveyor – shifts under a load. Superior standardized this undercarriage design to all of its TeleStacker Conveyors large or small.
Heavier Duty Support Rollers
Another patented innovation are heavy duty support rollers, designed to safely guide and support the internal stinger conveyor as it travels in and out of the main frame. The rollers are designed to be load equalizing, each carrying an even amount of weight. This eliminates excessive and unsafe stress on each single roller.
Designing telescopic conveyors with these heavy-duty support rollers is another step to a safer, longer-lasting machine.
Superior Industries at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2014
Along with other manufacturers of aggregate processing, asphalt pavement and drilling equipment and attachments, Superior is moving and will showcase in the brand new Platinum Lot at the Las Vegas Convention Center. In booth 7602, the company will showcase conveying equipment and components. Inside the Central Hall, Superior also will showcase its products and services in booth 51838.
About Superior Industries
Superior Industries has a reputation of engineering and manufacturing groundbreaking, bulk material handling conveyors and cutting-edge conveyor components. From its headquarters in Minnesota, U.S.A., the manufacturer supplies stackers, transfer conveyors, ship loaders and stationary systems; plus idlers, pulleys and accessories to lower operating costs and increase production. The company manufactures from additional plants in Arizona and Georgia, U.S.A.

A cocaine-addicted Australian lawyer, who bet $1 million on a New Zealand rugby match after stealing millions from his high-profile client, has been sentenced to up to six years behind bars.
Brody Jack Clarke, 36, was on Wednesday sentenced in the New South Wales District Court after syphoning almost $10 million from one of Australia's wealthiest media moguls between 2015 and 2017 - all to fuel his rampant gambling habit.
Clarke was working for Atanaskovic Hartnell Lawyers when he defrauded WIN TV proprietor Bruce Gordon and his companies, Daily Mail Australia reported.
Details of the astonishing extent of Clarke's deceit were revealed in court - including the young solicitor betting up to $3 million a day on football games.
Clarke was described as "highly intelligent, well-educated man with a stellar curriculum vitae" by Judge Mark Williams SC but had a cocaine addiction and was drowning in debt.
According to Daily Mail, Clarke started gambling online and even impersonated Gordon's son Andrew to have $7 million transferred into one of his private accounts.
The court heard how Clarke would regularly place bets of up to $1.5 million on a sporting match and would bet on several matches a day in an attempt to "double" his money and pay back what he stole.
"In the last few days of his offending he was betting an average of over $3 million per day on football games around the world," Judge Williams said.
"For example, he bet $1.2 million on two American football games, $1 million on a New Zealand provincial rugby game, and $1.5 million on a rugby league match between Sydney Roosters and North Queensland Cowboys."
Clarke was fired when the allegations were first made. He was sentenced to a three-year non-parole period, with a maximum sentence of six years' imprisonment.

YouTube Dance Star Lia Kim on 'Joy of Conversation 2'
Lia Kim appeared on KBS2's Joy of Conversation 2 recently to show off her YouTube Diamond Play Button.
Joy of Conversation 2 is a talk show that invites on guests who are well-known figures with the power to influence a generation. Choreographer Lia Kim, the woman who creates dance moves and trends, appeared as the show's fifth guest. Lia is also widely known as the dance teacher of K-pop acts such as Sunmi, TWICE, and Girls' Generation.
Lia is a YouTube dance star whom you might be familiar with if you're one of YouTube's avid viewers. She is also one of the founders of 1MILLION Dance Studio, which has a YouTube channel of its own with over 15 million subscribers and over 3.4 billion views (as of April 13, 2019).
On the episode of Joy of Conversation 2 that aired on April 13, Lia showed the prestigious Diamond Play Button that she received from YouTube. The Diamond Play Button is an award given to YouTube channels that reach or surpass 10 million subscribers. K-pop artists that have received the award include BTS, BLACKPINK, BIGBANG, and PSY.
During the show, Lia piqued the curiosity of the cast as she appeared with a briefcase containing the diamond button. Yoo Hee Yeol drew laughter from the others as he was unable to look away from the Diamond Play Button that he had only heard about but never seen in real life.
Lia, who revealed that 95% of her subscribers are from outside of Korea, shared stories about the dances that created a splash across the globe, including a story about how she came to shoot an ad for a Taiwanese beverage and how she helped change the life of a foreigner. The conversation that was had between the cast and Lia opened the viewers' eyes to the influence and far-reaching power of dance.
Joy of Conversation 2 airs on Saturdays at 10:45 p.m. (KST).
