First, all of us flew into Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for a author's retreat for about 72 hours. The objective was to put in writing the complete e book (fifty 5,000+ phrases) throughout our keep. We had been every challenged with writing our own chapter, or about 5,000 words. All through the 72 hours, we had a regimented schedule that included time to check in with writing companions for feedback, invaluable writing recommendations and tips from Routledge Publishing Firm, as well as time to place in writing alone. I realized so much about myself as a writer during these few days. I do my greatest writing away from all people else. Actually, most of my chapter was written on day two between the hours of midnight and three 'clock throughout the morning whereas alone in my hotel room working in my pj's. I assume you not at all know when inspiration goes to hit you.

Refugees, asylum seekers and locals in Greece come together through football
Terre des hommes (Tdh) improves young refugees' psychosocial well-being by using football as a tool for protection, social inclusion and cohesion. Starting April 2019, Tdh organise weekly football training sessions in and around Thessaloniki, being funded by the European Union. Both locals and refugees over the age of 15 years are invited to play, coach or referee football regularly.
A new project to reduce violence against children in 30 communities in Moldova
Physical violence and emotional abuse still represent a daily reality for many children in Moldova, both at home and at school. Terre des hommes Moldova, with the financial support of Oak Foundation, launched a three-year project aiming to prevent violence against children by engaging the entire community. About 70 teachers and school students from the 30 beneficiary communities participated in the launching event on April 12.

text: Quirky one... I was cleaning up the Air cleaner assembly on my 68 Cat yesterday -- trying to get it ready for some paint. I removed the two vacuum hoses underneath, that connect the temp sensor to the control damper on the air horn. Both appear to be original. After some clean up I determined that the hose that pulls vac from the carb to the temp sensor "input" side is completely blocked. I thought it might be mud bees or some such thing. However, after inserting a wire I can tell there is something inside the line -- hard as a rock. If I didn't know better I would say it was steel -- Can anyone suggest why this would be the case? I figure I should just swap in a fresh piece of hose but it was so odd that it almost seemed intentional??

Strengthen Organizations
To see SVP's Connecticut's current portfolio of community partner engagements, click here.
Throughout the world, the organizations SVP partners with are tackling some of our society's most entrenched problems – and they are ready to take their work to the next level.
They've recognized ways that their organizations could be stronger, and are working with SVP to make that happen. In any given year, affiliates across the SVP network are engaged with hundreds of local nonprofits and social change initiatives providing two kinds of support.
Multi-Year, General Operating Support
We believe that change takes time, and that those closest to the work are best equipped to make important decisions. Our Investees can depend on multiple years of funding, and they are free to spend that money where they see fit to build and strengthen their capacity. We ask them to report on results, not financials.
Capacity Building
It's not sexy, but things like sound financial systems, effective board governance, and up-to-date technology can make the difference between serving 200 and 500 kids in need. That's why we strengthen organizations from the inside out – matching them with SVP Partner volunteers and paid consultants who can help amplify their impact.
How These Fit Together
What It Looks Like on the Ground
SVP Connecticut's Partners are making an impact. As part of a global network, we're able to learn from the experience and best practices gleaned from almost 20 years of engaged philanthropy of other SVP chapters.

Are you measuring risk wrong?
- 12 June 2015
- Views1379
- Updated at 08 June 2018
Our most popular "risk management" papers appear to be those which challenge users in their methodologies for risk measurement and management.
Here is a small taster of three of these papers:
1. The Divergence of High- and Low-Frequency estimation (State Street)
This paper is a collaborative effort between State Street Global Exchange and Windham Capital Management. It provides findings that are important to asset allocators looking at long-term asset allocation goals.
2. Risk Factors as Building Blocks for Portfolio Diversification (Callan Associates)
Theoretically, the use of risk factors could lead to more efficient allocations than traditional methods, but many investors are not fully implementing such methods because of practical issues. The authors demonstrate how the intuition of a risk factor portfolio could be used to improve its diversification and augment and refine traditional allocations.
3. Asset Class Risk - Methodology Overview (Research Affiliates)
The size premium has been contested in many ways: it has depleted since its discovery in the early 1980s, resides predominantly in January, is concentrated among microcaps, and is contained by proxies for illiquidity. The author, however, dismantle these challenges by controlling for the quality of the term.

Research Areas
My main area of research focuses on the interface between atomic, molecular and optical physics (AMO), quantum optics, and condensed matter physics. The remarkable experimental progress in each of the individual fields has uncovered new pathways to probe strongly interacting many-body quantum systems, engineer and explore open driven quantum systems, and to realize the multiplex of quantum simulators. In particular, I am interested in multi-component Bose-Einstein Condensates (BECs), open driven three-level atomic systems in V and Lambda configurations, and multi-scale synthetic quantum materials. These systems serve as a basis for exploring emergent many-body phenomena, dissipative dynamics, and fractional transport through multi-scale quantum systems, correspondingly.

A community first responder team has been launched in Spelthorne
in partnership with South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Trust
Community first responders are members of the local community
who are trained to attend certain medical emergencies – such as
patients with chest pains or breathing difficulties, or who have
suffered a cardiac arrest.
Responders are always supported by an ambulance but, because
they live or work locally, they may be the first to reach a patient
and administer potentially life-saving treatment.
SECAmb's Responder Operations Manager for Surrey, Peter Glover
met recently with the first responders in the new Spelthorne
He said: "We are delighted to welcome these wonderful people to
our community responder network. They will support the work of the
ambulance service and help to improve outcomes for patients.
"SECAmb is a high-performing trust but is continually striving
to deliver better patient care at the earliest opportunity. This
has been achieved in part by working in partnership with volunteers
who simply want to make a difference and serve their
SECAmb runs the community responder scheme which currently has
more than 400 trained responders across the Trust's region of Kent,
Surrey and Sussex.
Training includes how to use a defibrillator which can restart
the heart of a patient in cardiac arrest. Clinical evidence shows
that the chance of surviving a cardiac arrest drops with every
minute that a patient does not receive treatment, but with early
treatment and the use of a defibrillator a patient's chance of
survival can increase by up to 75 percent.
If anyone would like to know more about training to join the
Spelthorne scheme they can contact Peter Glover by email at
Further information on SECAmb's community responder network is
or by contacting the community responder team on 01273 897861
Notes to editor:
• South East Coast Ambulance Service was formed on 1 July
2006, following the merger of Kent, Surrey and Sussex ambulance
trusts and is one of 11 ambulance services operating in England. It
covers an area of 3,600 square miles and a resident population of
4.5 million across East and West Sussex, Brighton & Hove, Kent
and Medway and Surrey. The trust responds to 999 calls from the
public, immediate and urgent calls from health professionals, as
well as providing non-emergency Patient Transport Services
(pre-booked patient journeys to and from healthcare facilities) in
some areas. It employs more than 3,000 staff across 60 sites,
more than half of whom are paramedics and ambulance

Curious about pattern but not sure how to tame them for your interiors? We'll have you mixing prints like a pro.
It's not easy to be adventurous when it comes to splashing bright prints and motifs on our walls. It's a shame, given that a pattern done right can add tremendous energy and personality to a room.
Floral, geometric, polka-dotted striped, tropical – there's no end to the possibilities.
We've compiled a guide on how to grow your love affair with all things patterned. Whether you're looking to simply dip a toe into this colourful world or get in touch with your inner mad-hatter – we're here to take your relationship with pattern to the next level.
For the Pattern Beginner
New to patterns, suspicious, or scared? A good place to start is by adding a pop of bold pattern to a room's otherwise neutral palette.
Get yourself comfortable by experimenting in a cheap, low-risk manner. Browse for inspiration online and in local fabric stores like Kamdar to see which patterns draw your eye. Bring home samples to add to your concept board, a great tool for any interiors project.
A table setting is a simple way to experiment with different patterns until you find a scheme you want to explore on a larger scale.
Pillows and throws are also a risk-free styling accessory to inject a ballsy pattern into a room. Think of them as little colourful windows into a wider world of brights.
For the Pattern Regular
Ready to take the next step?
Select one bold pattern you love and then build the rest of your room around it. Try to tell that pattern story through different elements in the room – from walls, curtains, flooring, upholstery and, basically any element of the room. Create variation in visual textures and shades.
A general rule of thumb is to incorporate spaces of solid color here and there. White is a great, clean way to add negative space.
If you like the look of patterned wallpaper but are wary of committing overkill, consider duo-tone, low-contrast, or simple patterns like stripes or polka dots to add a more interesting equivalent to a solid shade.
Tip: Venturing towards cooler-toned patterns can help balance out a hot room.
For the Pattern Obsessed
Head-over-heels yet? Keen to mix and match different patterns? Here's how:
The trick to a harmonious look is to match colours, rather than patterns, and to vary the scale of the design. Employ non-competing colors that are common across all of a room's patterns.
In picking patterns, consider this 3-part rule:
- PRINT 1: Pick your room's central pattern – this will be the showstopper, multi-colour, loud one that creates movement and conveys the intended mood.
- PRINT 2: Pick a colour from your first pattern, or a neutral shade, and select a geometric print in a large scale print that makes that colour pop.
- PRINT 3: Pick a colour that draws from a shade in the first pattern, in a small scale print. As your accent colour, it's the perfect opportunity to add something unexpected.
And finally, some tips on pattern placement:
- The general guideline is to match small scale patterns in small rooms and large scale patterns to larger rooms.
- Ensure continuity in some form across other rooms that your room leads into. I.e. if your lounge links to your hallway, ensure there is some form of colour harmony across the two.
- Avoid using the same scale and pattern combination next to each other.
- Remember: the above is simply a guideline. And rules are made to be broken! Have fun with it.

Coach Keane's men were defeated 86-75 in NBL Division One Men v Solent and 85-69 in the National Trophy v Essex Leopards as their four game win streak came to an abrupt end.
Captain Danny Carter is struggling with a back injury but still tried his hardest to secure a semi-final spot in the Trophy which now will be down to the last pool game in early January when Hemel Storm play Leopards. Depending on the result of that game, the pool is likely to be decided on points difference so it's out of Rockets hands now.
Rockets take on Barking Abbey Crusaders in NBL Division One Men on Sunday 2nd December, 5pm tip-off as they look to bounce back and maintain a push for a top four finish in this most competitive of leagues where it appears any team can take each other's scalp on any weekend, other than maybe Solent who look down on all the other teams form their lofty perch in top spot and a 9-0 record.
The Reading team currently lie in seventh place with four wins and three losses whilst Barking sit in tenth position with a record of 2-5
This is the first meeting between the two teams this season with Barking back in NBL Division One Men after a year's absence
The last meeting between the two teams was in the National Cup two seasons ago when the then NBL Division Two outfit Kent Crusaders caused a cup upset defeating the Rockets 92-83 in the quarter-finals
Assistant Coach Josh Thorne:
"Next weekend is a very important weekend for us. After two losses this weekend we have to have a strong week and continue to grow together and build on our development areas. Our focus remains on ourselves but we will be aware of the threat a young, vibrant Barking team will pose."

Mladen Alexiev (1980) is a theatre maker from Bulgaria. He partecipated to the Terni Festival 2014 (www.ternifestival.it) with two different works called "Standing Body" and "A Poem", giving the name "The rain will not erase it" to the entire Festival.
By Carla Capodimonti and Richard Pettifer
Available in Italian at http://fattiditeatro.it/the-rain-will-not-erase-it-intervista-mladen-alexiev/
Available in Italian at http://fattiditeatro.it/the-rain-will-not-erase-it-intervista-mladen-alexiev/
Carla Capodimonti: I found your works about "walking" very interesting. In the history of art we can find a lot of examples and inspirations about walking: in 1921, Dada organized a series of guided tours to various trivial places in the city, in the 50's, the Letterist International began the 'theory of drift' which turned into situations experiencing creative and playful behaviours and unitary urbanism. Constant reworked Situationist theory to develop the idea of a nomadic city ("New Babylon") introducing the theme of nomadism into architecture. From mid-century, artists started to use walking in nature as art. In 1966 the magazine Artforum published the journey of Tony Smith on a highway under construction. In 1967, Richard Long produced "A Line Made by Walking", a line drawn by trampling the grass of a lawn. Since 1995 the group Stalker conducted readings of the cities in different parts of Europe from the point of view of wandering, to investigate the urban areas and the contemporary transformations of a changing society.1
Did you find some kinds of inspirations from the history of art for your work called "A poem"? What is your definition for "walking poem"?
Mladen Alexiev: Actually, the starting point for the intervention "The rain will not erase it" is that I did in Amsterdam in the Autumn of 2013 and its follow up – the photographic project "A poem", developed in collaboration with the Italian photographer Eleonora Anzini and presented in the frame of the last edition of Terni Festival - originate from quite opposite interests of mine. For quite some time my fascination has been not with the act of walking but, instead, with the act of standing. At one point in my practice I wanted to strip down everything I know about theatre-making. I was thinking – what is the minimum physical expression an individual can do without any special preparations, what is the minimum (political) statement a single body can make? And I have chosen a simple entry point – a body enters a space, its appearance is already a statement – inevitably.
It is not about the walking but rather for taking a stand. Literally. To hold yourself back. To make your body visible through imposed discipline. To leave it somewhere. To deny the body the right to move, to make an attempt to put it into halt. I am touched by the state of emergency that this simple act suggests.
So I am not interested in the history of art in the first place. At one point in the process, links and references naturally occur. But I find it quite suffocating to have it as a starting point. In the end, the history of art is a graveyard in which we find ourselves aspiring or ascribed to certain lineages, attempts and illusions. Our loves make it alive.

Title: Bodied
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Joseph Kahn
Starring: Calum Worthy, Jackie Long, Rory Uphold
Runtime: 2 hrs
What It Is: Young caucasian boy Adam (Worthy) is studying the underground rap battle scene in the surrounding area of Oakland/San Francisco. When he meets a rapper with the battle name Behn Grymm (Long) he thinks he's found the true subject of his thesis which is on this very art form. When Adam catches the bug for battle rapping and seems to be good at it. This leads to problems with his leftist, hipster girlfriend Maya (Uphold). Will Adam survive the world of battle rap, will his relationship survive?
What We Think: Kahn's directing style is just the sort of frantic craziness a story like this needs. Calum Worthy is the illest of the ill here. He makes Adam both the nerdiest of nerds BUT gives him the wordiest of words. The script (also penned by Kahn) is fantastic as well. There's a flow to everything that comes off quite naturally. Actual rapper Dizaster comes off as the frightening Megaton. As for how the film looks? Not bad. It has a filter of filth to it that kinda works. Rory Uphold is utterly annoying and that works because her character is a send-up of a very specific type of person and she nails it.
Our Grade: B+, There's some great stuff here. Some of the character decisions are blase. The ending comes off a tad cold and one particular plot string never gets tied off. Do I recommend this? Unequivocally. This is a fantastic film. Even if it's far from perfect. It's slated for a November release but this is for sure one to watch! It gave me a new star on the horizon to watch out for. I think you all should too!

The Galaxy Yacht Cruise offers a comfortable cruise of the Galapagos Islands. Experience famous wildlife sightings, beautiful scenery and impressive natural features.
The Galaxy Yacht Cruise offers a comfortable cruise of the Galapagos Islands. Experience famous wildlife sightings, beautiful scenery and impressive natural features.
The Galapagos Islands are a volcanic archipelago towards the west of Ecuador in the Pacific Ocean. The Galapagos contain incredible diversity including many species found nowhere else on Earth; many species living on one island are not even found on other islands of the Galapagos.
Protected as a National Park and a UNESCO World Heritage Area, the Galapagos are regarded as one of the most unique, scientifically important and biologically outstanding areas on Earth. Because of this, the Galapagos are popular with travelers and visitors often mention their time on and around these incredible islands was a life changing experience.
An incredible 80% of land birds and 97% of reptiles and land mammals on the Galapagos are found nowhere else on Earth. Some of the favorite animals of Galapagos tourists include the giant tortoises, marine iguanas, and the Galapagos penguins.
Found accidentally by a Bishop on his way to Peru, the Bishop's vessel was blown off course and landed on these islands. Some of his crew died due to the harsh conditions and lack of fresh water. He went on to describe the archipelago as having little to offer and best avoided as a inhospitable land mass. Their addition to maps, however, meant the Galapagos became a base for pirates to pillage vessels carrying gold to Spain.
The most famous story of the Galapagos involves a young English naturalist by the name of Charles Darwin. Darwin was joining the Beagle on a voyage to map the coast of South America and he collected specimens from the islands of many different birds, beetles and other animals. Then, after many talks with colleagues, a peculiarity emerged where each island seemed to have its own form of animal, slightly different from the others. Years later after accumulating more evidence from other areas, Darwin proposed the theory of evolution by natural selection and in 1859 published On the Origin of Species to explain the diversity of life on Earth.Read more

The Galapagos Islands are a world famous archipelago off the coast of Ecuador home to an impressive diversity of animals found nowhere else on Earth. Species include the Galapagos giant tortoises, marine and land iguanas, seals, and a fantastic assemblage of interesting birds. Continue to Galapagos Island Tours >>
Ecuador has been found by naturalists and researchers to contain the highest amount of animals and plants on Earth. This diversity has been found in the Amazon Rainforest, the world's largest container of tropical life. The majority of Amazon Rainforest tourists in Ecuador fly from Quito to Coca and are then transported by river to their chosen Amazon Rainforest lodge.Read more

Roger Penske: "Will Power won because he was the best"
Legendary team owner Roger Penske was unstinting in his praise for both Will Power and the #12 car's crew members after they clinched his team's 17th Indy 500 victory.
Power has joined Mark Donohue, Rick Mears, Danny Sullivan, Emerson Fittipaldi, Al Unser Jr., Helio Castroneves, Gil de Ferran, Sam Hornish and Juan Pablo Montoya on the roster of Penske's Indy 500 winners, three-and-a-half years after clinching the IndyCar Series title.
Penske said: "We started competing here, as you know, in '69. The success we've had has really been all about the team members, the people we've had, the great drivers, sponsors, and obviously Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
"To see what Will has been able [to do], 10 years with his engineer Dave Faustino… He's won many road races, all sorts of poles.
"He won this race today because he was the best, there's no question about the speed at the end, his out laps. The pitcrew I take my hat off to – Jon [Bauslog, Power's strategist], and Tim Cindric [team president], because we had four great cars. That's what you have to have here. You have to have four bullets, three bullets, whatever it takes.
"I'm just so thrilled – 17 wins. Now I have to worry about 18. I'm not going to look back, I'll look forward. We have to be back next year."
Cindric, who was Power's strategist from mid-2011 through to the end of 2016, when he switched to Josef Newgarden's arm of the squad, spoke of the desire that the Australian had expressed so often to deliver an Indy win.
"It took him a long time to win a championship," he said, "He's had so many wins. He's third in overall poles in IndyCar right now. [But] the one thing he always talked about was, 'I have to win the Indy 500, I have to win the Indy 500.'
"Having seen what he's gone through with our team, what we've all gone through collectively, like Roger said. Dave Faustino has been at his side from Day 1. He's been the one that's listened to all the ups and downs. He's been on-call 24/7.
"The rest of us kind of check in and check out with Will. Faustino – he's there more than his wife, and she's a close second. Between the two of those people, they're really his support group at the end of the day.
"The crew, like Roger said, they were prepared. Will was agonizing during dinner as far as what his setup was, what his gears were going to be. His mind never leaves this sport. He's fully committed. He has made a lot of sacrifices.
"To see the culmination… I think you saw how excited he was today. You don't see that out of Will too often. Great day for us and the team."
Bauslog agreed that key to strategy was the fact that Power was able to carry it through.
"We really didn't want to see the [last] caution come out. I think the key to it was, like Roger said, he was good all day. When he got clear, he could run fast laps, which was big for us.
"The thing is, he was so focused on the win, doing well, that it was his day. He was going to make sure it was.
"The guys, great stops today. The whole team performed well. So many things go into it."
Following Cindric's switch to new arrival Newgarden's car for 2017, Bauslog became Power's strategist last season, but when the team reduced to three full-time entries as Castroneves went to sportscars, Roger Penske himself moved to Power's car.
However, with Castroneves returning for the Indy GP and the 500 this month, 'The Captain' returned to Castroneves' car – upon which Power scored the team's 200th win on the IMS road course two weeks ago, and then clinched the 201st win today, moving into the lead of the championship.
Asked if he'd resume duties on the #12 car for the Detroit double-header next week, Penske said: "I don't know. I think I got fired! He's won two in a row now. I'll have to have a discussion on that next week. We'll see."
Penske and Cindric also all-but-confirmed that Castroneves, whose race today ended in a crash while running fifth, would compete at the 500 again next year.

The pineapple, dragon fruit and buddha head fruit beckoned her from Portland's dreary winter and she said, "I'm coming and I want to do everything that brings you joy." Easy peasy.
Three's Company meets Project Runway meets …
Many things you can't explain around here. It's just Taiwan and Rachel embraced it all.
Private Residential Tea Tasting
Before the rains came we headed out of the city to find some tea fields with our driver Michael (he's a professional driver with Nike. We call him Baby Driver). I've been to a few fields, but wanted to see some new ones which Michael helped locate in the Nantou region. Upon arriving we saw fields and fields of tea plants, pineapples, dragon fruit, ginger and banana trees. No tourists. Just us walking down a quiet country road goofing around. It was perfect except no tea tasting rooms in sight. Hoping to find one, Michael asked a man who was out puttering in his yard where to go. In Taiwanese fashion, puttering man invited us in to HIS living room, for TEA. This is Taiwan to a T.
Mr. Man of Tea Ceremony
He invited us inside, introduced us to his daughter and promptly started boiling water. We drank copious rounds of tiny cups filled to the brim with oolong tea from their tea fields. A tea tasting couldn't get more authentic than this.
The whole family lives in this house which was designed by his daughter (far right). Behind them you can see their small farm of pineapple plants (left) and a 4-season tea plant (right). They get 4-5 tea harvests from this particular plant a year, which is high. What hospitality to invite three strangers in for tea!
Houtanjing Sky Bridge
Behind their house is a suspension bridge which we were not only encouraged to walk, Mr. Tea Ceremony himself escorted us to the start of it. It's impressive at 670 feet long, 265 steps and a 492 foot drop to the valley below. On a clear day, which it was not, you can see the ocean.
Back in the city
I take full responsibility for Rachel's bubble tea addiction. She immediately began a strict BTaD habit (bubble tea a day). Just call me her Bubba Lord.
It Rained, Like A lot
You know who doesn't care? TWIN DRAGONS. Serendipitously we found the finest purveyor of rain coats at the local market and acquired the very finest Twin Dragon brand of rain wear.
Rachel is an architect and so we made a visit to Toyo Ito's masterpiece, the National Taichung Theater. It opened the year we moved here in 2016. We are proud members who enjoy the modern dance performances that come through. It's a stunning space filled with three large theatres (largest holds 2,014 seats), exhibition spaces and restaurants open to all to wonder and explore.
It's illuminating exploring a city with an architect, a city in which doesn't have much regard for what we call the ADA [Americans with Disabilities Act] and doesn't exactly share the same standards for safety (excluding earthquake safety – that they get 300%). I kept asking Rachel, "so is this to code? Answer, "no". It doesn't take long to notice that many things are not square, even or level. Not bad, just different and always entertaining! Tip: Never take your eyes off the walkway here.
Speaking of Earthquakes
We visited the 921 Earthquake Museum of Taiwan. It's dedicated to the 7.3 earthquake that struck the center of Taiwan at 9/21, 1999 – 2,415 people were killed, 11,305 injured. It's a sobering museum because it's located on the site of a former high school. The shell of the building forms the exterior walls of the museum and one of the museum's gallery crosses the actual fault on which the earthquake occurred!
Rachel, being an architect, collected lots of photos, data and stats which she hopes to present to her colleagues in Portland. I brought Scott's dad here, also an architect, and he was moved in the same way. It's such an informative, educating, eye-opening experience because you are seeing REAL structural damage with write-ups about how and why certain structures failed and how it has since been improved. Kudos to Taiwan for creating and preserving this.
High XiaoLongBao Standards
At the famous Din Tai Fung, we ordered a basket of famous xiaolongbao along with some truffle dumplings. When our server opened the xiaolongbao basket to present the dumpling masterpieces she had a look of horror on her face. One xiaolongbao had exploded, meaning its soupy delicious fatty pork broth had escaped it's delicate dumpling package. She said she would replace it immediately. And she did. She also told us in a strict dumpling school marm way that we were to eat the xiaolongbao and the truffle dumplings separately to avoid spoiling the delicate flavours of each.
Project Runway, Taichung
We are the craftiest of friends, literally. Some people have pen pals, but we're art collab pals. Maybe, someday we'll share what we've been up to. Until then, we introduce Project Runway, the Taichung Edition (where each designer gets a luxurious hour at the fabric store). I took Rachel to my favorite fabric shop and along the way we got inspired by a purse, a large purse, which warrants its own large blog post (because I can't do small). I'm not sorry about that either. This is my blog, my diary and truthfully I bet just my mom, Rachel and her mom will read all of this.
Trending: fanny packs & ear muffs
Our fashionista was woke when we found fanny packs at market (not far from the chickens). They're back. You heard it here first. You're welcome.
Also trending…
Fine, fine art at the MFA
The Magical Light and Shadow in Nature show by Lin Hsin-yueh was phenomenal and made us hungry for all the local fruits.
Stingray + Barracuda
We visited our local stamp maker to get our aliases etched in Chinese characters. Stingray. No problem. Saracuda… a bit more problematic in Mandarin, therefore I opted for Barracuda which prompted a 'Really?!" with gesturing biting hands. Why yes, that's exactly the fish. Thank you. Traditionally people get these stamps made of their full formal names and stamp formal documents. I can only imagine what this guy thinks of two American women who want fish stamps. Oddly, he never asked and simply made them and took our money. There's very little judgement in this culture.
Out on the Taichung Town
Japanese Alley Curry
After two failed attempts of eating here we struck gold on the third try. This tiny and super popular pop-up Japanese curry restaurant is located in a dark and grungy alley / day market. The owner's name is "Uncle" and he loves music and New Balance. "Do Not Bully My Uncle" and "No Curry, No Life" signs hang around the eclectic decorations and rows of CDs. The name of the place translates (in google) to Don't Be Uncle. It's a fun place with great tunes!
Deconstructed Mocha with Cloud
Big City Taipei
We grabbed our big-ass Project Runway bags and hopped on the High Speed Rail for 3 nights in Taipei, the capital. Rachel, as I mentioned, is an architect and one of her many expertises is in hotel design. She was curious to experience some Taiwanese hotel designs so she sleuthed out two hip ones.
The first,"Play Design Hotel", not your typical hotel with only 6 rooms, featuring locally designed goods, beautifully designed and usable maps of the neighborhood and managed by a woman named Beta. We reserved the Play Tea Room with DIY in-room tea ceremony.
The second was "S Hotel" by designer Philippe Starck, a more traditional hotel that we didn't get to spend as much time in, but was sleek, comfy with robotic window blinds! Both lovely in different ways, and in different neighborhoods. Such a treat to experience together.
Ningxia Night Market
We devoured everything we could which was all foods on all sticks.
Tomato is a fruit here
This bright and shiny gem can be seen at every night market which I've always shied away from, fearing it was super sugary, like a candy apple and I'd lose a filling. I'm here to say NOT TRUE! It's actually quite delicious. It's a ripe cherry tomato coated in a thin sugar coating that's reminiscent of a creme brulee crunch. The dark separators are a sort of candied, fermented, salted plum. I think?
Corn Dogs
This is another food I feared but at one point you just have to start checking foods off your night market bucket list. This is a Taiwan Corn Dog and what makes it "unique" and so VERY Taiwan is that it's dipped in SUGAR. Barf. We ate it though.
Grilled Squid
I love this dish. It's very popular and often fried, but this was grilled, therefore it's a healthful night market choice. Grilled squid lady hooked us up with VIP seating.
Dihau Street
I loved poking along Dihau Street in the Dadaocheng neighborhood with Rachel. This is Taipei's historic neighborhood, with older architecture and a thriving artistic community. The street is packed with shops selling cute things that you think you need but really don't, lots of tea ceramics, dried goods, herbal medicines, museums and many cafes.
Don't Be Shellous of our Nails
Taiwan does nails really well and it's not crazy expensive. This is something I don't engage in very often but is fun when girlfriends are in town. Rachel was hot to get the latest trend of actual thin slivers of pearly shells. Taiwan, always leading the nail trends!
Don't be a Dingdong. OK.
Greasy Spoon Diner
Rachel wanted to try a local breakfast so we ordered up my favorite savories: dan bing on left (a Taiwanese version of egg burrito with scallions) and radish cake on right (mild in flavor, like a hashbrown it's always comforting). The coconut butter on soft white toast was new to me (thanks to Rachel) and quite tasty!
Friend Honeymoon Complete
Rachel, Twin Dragon, thanks so much for coming to visit me way over here. You have no idea how much it means to me. Actually, I think you do, and that's why I love you so. It's been magnificent to see this city through your eyes, catch-up, check-in and discuss all that is life – face to face. Until the next Mobo Project Runway challenge…
Love, Sarracuda, Twin Dragon

Today was the first of three full days in Jerusalem. The sun once again greeted us, with cool temps to start (40s), but with a high temp in low 60s. The day was filled with a wide range of experiences and emotions.
Mt. of Olives
Leaving our hotel at 7:30, we drove around the northern side of the Old City and then east. Ascending the Mt. of Olives we enjoyed an incredible view of the city of Jerusalem! In front of uw across the Kidron Valley was the City of David (the OT Jerusalem), the Temple Mount, and the entire Old City. At the Dominus Flavet chapel we read from Luke 19, Acts 1, and Zechariah 14 to remember Jesus' Palm Sunday celebration, His weeping over Jerusalem, His ascension, and His predicted return on this mountain!
Continuing to walk down the path to the Garden of Gethsemane, we gathered in a private garden for a time of reflection. We read from Luke 22 and considered Jesus' passion, "Not my will but yours be done…" This was where Jesus was betrayed from Judas.
"Our first day here in Jerusalem was amazing! The view of the Old City and Temple Mount from the Mt. of Olives started the day off. And to think that Jesus will return to the Mt. of Olives when He comes back. His feet will actually stand here! Incredible thought!" – Tour Member –
Old City
Walking into the Old City through the Lion's Gate (also called St. Stephen's and Jericho Gate), we stopped at the St. Anne's Church. We sang a few songs in this Crusader Church that has an 8 second echo! We sounded like a wonderful choir! On the same grounds are the Pools of Bethesda where the lame man was healed by Jesus (John 5).
From here we walked to the Christian Quarter and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, one of the two possible locations for the crucifixion and burial site of Jesus. We ate lunch near by.
Jewish Quarter
Walking to the Jewish Quarter after lunch we visited the Herodian Mansion. This was a 1st century AD large house structure excavated in the early 1970s. Today these ruins are completely under modern buildings. We also listened to Moshe, an Orthodox Jew. He and his brother Dov own a store called Shorashim.
Yad Vashem
Walking out the Zion's Gate, our last stop of the day was Yad Vashem, Israel's Holocaust Museum & Memorial. Here we walked through the Children's Museum (1.5 million children were killed) and the main museum. We also heard Shlomo's personal family story (he lost 12 family members who livd in Vilna, Poland).
We drove back to the hotel for a late dinner and an optional walk to Ben Yehuda Street for a taste of modern Israeli culture and shopping.

Roger Federer Defies Superstition In London
"I don't have a thing like that, I'm not superstitious in any way," a very confused Roger Federer exclaimed moments after his impressive 6-4 6-3 victory over Kevin Anderson to book himself into the semi-final. The subject in question was bizarre - he was responding to a failed joke from the interviewer, who had suggested that he was wearing his 'lucky shorts' - but the answer turned out to reveal plenty.
Roger Federer's 2018 Nitto ATP finals have been abnormal and strange. After a second half of 2018 beset by a hand injury, scratchy performances, and shocking losses to Anderson at Wimbledon and Millman at the US Open, he arrived in London filled with the hope that his form was finally blooming.
In Shanghai, Federer fought through three-setters to reach the semi-finals, before he was ousted in straight sets by Borna Coric without generating a single break point. Weeks later in Basel, Federer's scrappy performances continued but so too did his ability to overcome them as he continued to put matches under his belt, uncharacteristically grinding to an 8th title at home in Basel.
Normally, Federer would have kicked his feet up and rested before the World Tour Finals. But still unsatisfied, he marched to Paris where he won two matches and dueled Novak Djokovic in one of the three-set matches of the year. Despite his defeat, Federer departed Paris unbroken against Djokovic saving all 12 break points across the three-hour battle and leaving the Serb, who was on a 22-match winning streak, fatigued enough for Karen Khachanov to pick him off with ease.
"I can look back and think it was definitely worth it to come to Paris," he said. "The welcome was great. I played some good tennis, so I can be happy."
Yet, on the very first day of the ATP finals, the hope that encircled Federer in the build-up was gone. The Swiss stepped onto the court against Kei Nishikori and produced one of his worst performances of the year, unable to find his serve, incapable of landing returns and struggling even worse with the simple task of putting the ball in play. Eventually, Nishikori fractionally improved his play on the latter and he dumped out the Swiss. Two days later, Federer suggested that neither himself nor Nishikori could not have played any worse in the first set.
On the route back to his hotel, Federer discussed the performance with his team, and after a quick back-and-forth, they came to an unconventional decision. Instead of returning to the courts to practice as all players do, he took the following day off to look after his family instead of practicing at the Queen's club on his rest day.
"I've been playing a lot of tennis the last two months," said Federer. "That's why […] we came to the conclusions, or the coaches thought, Take it easy, enjoy the day with your family, and come out happy on I don't even know what day of the week it is today. Again, when you play Thiem, that's what we care about, the head, not the shots. "
Federer came out for his second match against Dominic Thiem and, with his back to the wall, his head was finally present. He served well enough and was solid in all areas as the Austrian hit himself out of the match. Against Anderson on Thursday, Federer was improved still. Although far from perfect, he found his serve and calm when needed, he neutralized the South African's second serves and his varied slice proved to be the decisive shot in the match, carrying him to victory.
As insignificant as such a decision seems, particularly for someone with the natural gifts of Federer, it revealed a lot about why he has been able to continue to attain success. Tennis is a sport awash with superstition. Players famously eat identical breakfasts throughout the week, they put on their shoes in the same order, they listen to the same music as they walk onto court.
In lieu of teammates to lean on, these superstitions become nearly a crutch for them, as players rest their faith on the belief that they must continually recreate the conditions that permitted them to succeed. For a player in Federer's position, whose peak is a decade in the past, yet he continues to extend his career, there could easily be the temptation to continually be trying to rediscover the precise specifications that allowed him to dominate so thoroughly in the past.
But, throughout this late part of his career, the greatest virtue Federer and his team have shown is the ability to be flexible. Not only in his pre-tournament practices, but with more fundamental aspects of his career, such as finally increasing the size of his racquet, trusting his driven backhand and utilizing his net game more.
Being flexible enough to both reinvent himself in significant ways and alter aspects of his process in smaller ways has allowed him to continue to thrive into his later 30s, and it's why he will arrive in the semi-finals favored to push even further.

1-781-743-2119 ext 2 Chat
Customers often will ask if we have a redaction tool. Redaction means something very specific in a legal sense. We'll explain more in depth later in this article, but the very short answer is:
No, we do not offer "redaction tools" but it is possible to use our tools as part of your own redaction solution.
Redaction has a very specific meaning: when you redact content on a document you are utterly destroying the information you are redacting.. in a way that is not recoverable. It is used for "Blacking out" text and/or images which need to be hidden from those viewing a document. Specificaly though to be redacted, the information must be destroyed totall so that it is not recoverable.
Our annotation objects are NOT redactions. Yes, you can draw a black rectangle annotation over an area of a document.. and set it so it is not resizable, not movable, not rotatable.. in essense, "lock it down" but since the annotation "floats" in a layer above the document, it does NOT redact because the original image underneath is still there.
To properly redact an image, you need to take that annotatoin and BURN it. The process of burning permenently overwrites the area of the image with the annotation.. and if that annotation is say, a solid black 100% opaque fill, the image may be considered redacted.
However, there are some caveats: if your original document was a searchable PDF and you replace the image, if the text layer is still present, you MAY NOT HAVE DESTROYED the text. There have been stories in national news about secret/classified documents that an entity thought they redacted but did not do so properly and resulted in the redacted data being uncovered.
So, this gets the legalese part: Atalasoft does NOT provide "redaction tools". It is possible to create a recation tool using our components, but the responsibility to fulfil the criteria of "properly redacted" remains entirely with you, the developer writing the application using our tools.
We will provide some guidance here but this is key: you are creating a redaction tool using our components. It is entirely your responsibilty to ensure you'ver fully destroyed the data you want redacted.
In a simple case of a non-searchable image such as TIFF, Jpeg, BMP etc.. generally all you need to do is to draw an black rectangle annotation over the area, then use our burn features (the specifics of this varies with our different controls how you go about this) to create a new image where the pixels under the black rectangle are completely replaced with just uniform black. This is good enough to destroy the image part of the data.
However, there are Metadata tags that are possible to embed in TIFF and Jpeg..in TIFF images, these are called TIFF tags (a TIFF image is actually just a collection of TIFF tags - TIFF stands for Tagged Image File Format). Some processes such as Microsoft's now obsolete MODI (Microsoft Office Document Imaging) may have included an OCRed copy of the document text in a special tiff tag. If you have a TIFF file which contains metadata that contains a text translation.. you would also need to clear the text intended for removal. You can use our TiffFile class to get at the individual tiff tags, Support can assist with how one would go about this, but finding and removing the content is your responsibility.
Likewise, there are other metadata type tags such as IPTC and EXIF tags which can be embedded in Jpeg and TIFF images.. if there was content needing redaction in those tags, you would need to use classes in our Atalasoft.Imaging.Metadata namespace such as ExifParser and IptcParser.
Searchable PDF files may either contain the text as the page data itself or may have an image representing the page, but contain text underlaid that provides a text representation of the content that was OCRed from the image. When you decode a PDF as images and apply a burn to redact an area, you're making a new image. Unless you take extreme steps involving swapping out the image but leaving the text layer in place (not officially supported but possible using PdfGeneratedDocument) then you may have a situation where the searchable text in the document still contains the text removed. As the developer creating a redaction tool, it would be your responsibility to ensure you do not inadvertently leave searchable text visible.

It has been written here many times that the Ukrainian economy is grotesquely warped. This grotesque warping reinforces corruption – directly and indirectly.
It is within the Ukrainian economy that the oligarchy dwells and reigns.
For many, "deoligarchisation" appears to mean the need to tackle the oligarchs and their business interests head on. Whilst there may be an element of this that will lead to some form out positive outcome, the majority of oligarch interests are legitimately owned. As they say in Odessa, "I can show you where all my money came from – just don't ask about the first $ million."
Thus though it is popular to claim all oligarch wealth is nefariously earned, the oligarchy all employ very clever people that do generate clean profits. Firtash has Group DF, Pinchuk has EastOne, Akhmetov has SCM etc. All are filled with very bright business people. It follows therefore that separating the dirty from the clean is not easy and certainly not simple – particularly decades down the line from the first nefariously acquired $ million nobody ever wants to discus per the Odessa saying. Oligarchy corruption now often takes the form of cronyism, nepotism and "government favours"in a limited access market.
Thus to structurally tackle corruption and the oligarchy at a macro level simultaneously it is the Ukrainian market that has to addressed, for it is often impossible to separate State from oligarchy so entrenched symbiotic the relationship.
When the oligarchy collectively controls significant double digits of GDP there is something not right. That "not right" takes the form of limited access to the Ukrainian market – ever being thus since (and before) independence. If not necessarily monopolies in every case, cartels would be the next step down. A genuinely free market (or anything approaching it) has yet to appear in Ukraine.
It is a post-Soviet hangover that has yet to be cured due to no government having the political will to reach into the medicine cabinet and grab the aspirin. This political will is lacking due to the power of the oligarchy both in terms of GDP and being the money behind the political curtain via funding parties, particular MPs, campaigns, bribery of Rada Committee or government, kick-backs for contracts, kick-backs for continued subsidies etc. A self-fulling cycle.
In short the system has stunted Ukrainian economic, sectoral, and social development, keeping wages down and opportunities few in certain areas of the economy and/or in certain regions of the nation. More broadly, for the nation as a whole, the limited access market has resulted in 24 years of economic stagnation, infrastructural decay and political paralysis.
Even today, with the exception of Minister Kvit in Education (and perhaps one or two others), the vast majority of reforms, or perhaps better labeled policy changes rather than real deep and structural reform, are entirely down to the conditionality imposed by the IMF, USA and EU in keeping Ukraine afloat – and Kyiv needs cash (and political support) and the IMF, USA and EU want structural reform for their investment.
Of the 1200 plus State owned companies, the vast majority are badly managed and subsidy dependent. The drain to the Ukrainian budget in subsidies is in $ billions for a nation whose GDP is measured in $ billions. Grim!
The current government intends to privatise a good number of the State owned entities. Most of which, to right-thinking people, would not be measured in the asset worth alone, but in their savings in centrally allocated subsidies. In short, it is not a question of how much these entities can be sold for and the revenue to the State any sale would bring, it is a question of how much money the sale of these State entities (even if sold for $1.00) would save the taxpayer and the nation.
There are, however, considerations as to which State owned companies could and would actually be profitable under proper management – thus negating the need for subsidies and actually providing a return to the State annually. Therefore, recognising that, should the State be attempting to privatise potentially profitable entities that simply suffer from horrendous management and extraordinary inefficiency?
Should the State delay any privatisation of such entities until quality management has been put in place, profits begin to appear and subsidies are removed, but then privatise anyway? To do so would then remove the limited access that currently characterises the Ukrainian economy, it would provide a profit when sold, and remove subsidies.
Perhaps – but there is the issue not only of creating a free market, but the issue of timeliness and the relentless subsidies during such a transitional process. How much time should be given to that process – if any? What are the costs of delaying any privatisation when the State coffers are hardly overflowing?
Clearly any privitisation of any State asset must come with the very clear understanding for any buyer that there will be no continued subsidies whatsoever. At best, any loss-making acquisitions will be a tax right-off (tax regime of the registered buyer's nation allowing).
In selling off State companies/assets, how to prevent the oligarchy that is already responsible for a grotesquely warped economy and political structure, from simply buying up the (best) assets and compounding, rather than relieving the problem of GDP diversity (and with it power)?
How heavy handed should the government be in market intervention in order to create a free market that in turn diminishes oligarchical GDP power within the economy (and by extension politics)?
If it is to actively favour bidders that are not hostile to the future vision of Ukraine (currently that would mean actively discriminating against the domestic oligarchy and Russia) in order to level and diversify the economic and business playing field, dramatically broadening the shareholders in a Ukrainian future, then government intervention in the market whilst it is still one of limited access appears to be one of necessity.
What of those State entities that nobody wants to buy? Should the State continue to heavily subsidise loss making entities, or should it simply close them?
Which State owned entities truly have to remain State owned – subsidies or not? What are the parameters to qualify for that? (Upsetting nationalists due to privatising State assets to foreigners is surely not a parameter.) Therefore what is and is not a State asset that must remain a State asset for specific qualifying reasons has to be agreed – and publicly stated.
What are the plans for the huge financial savings from ending the enormous subsidies to mismanaged State owned companies?
Will those currently return-less expenditures be channeled into decent pay for the police, teachers, doctors, the civil service, the military – in turn providing salaries that make corruption a moral choice and not an economic necessity for those that currently hold such roles?
Will they be channeled into infrastructure? If so what?
When the Donbas is eventually reintegrated into Ukraine, clearly a return to heavily subsidised mining and metals is not going to be the mainstay of its economy. Whilst some mining and metals industry will remain, what of retraining the previously subsidy dependent Donbas workforce?
There will of course be a lot of construction work that will, for a limited time, employ a good deal of labour – but what then? When the Donbas is redeveloped, how will its infrastructure be orientated? Toward R&D? Toward IT? Toward the service/call centre industry? If the international community is going to jump into the post-conflict redevelopment arena (and it seems very likely it will) it will want to know how the post-conflict development is to be orientated. A return to oligarch dominated, subsidy dependent industry will not meet with enthusiasm.
Do the people of the Donbas not deserve to be told that The Donbas economy, as it was, will not return? Should these messages not be continuously sent now?
Indeed, with the nation as a whole, should there not be a discussion about why mass privitisation will take place? It is, after all not simply about selling entities for a profit (when most are simply not profitable and technologically retarded). It is not only about enormous savings by ending subsidies. It is not only about reducing oligarchical power within the Ukrainian economy and thus reducing oligarchical power politically. It is about all of these things – and more.
When re-orientating the economy (which is entirely necessary), the future direction of Ukraine for generations is also reoriented. The privatisation of State entities (and the buyers) is an early, necessary, and integral part of that process. The effects are both immediate and long-lasting.
With 302 State owned entities listed for the first wave of privatisation, and hundreds more to follow in subsequent waves, not only is there a need to very carefully manage the privatisation process (and rapidly reduce subsidies) but there is a very clear need to explain to the nation why, how, what, when and in some cases (or perhaps many) who, is preferred – before doing it.
To dilute and minimise the oligarchical economic (and political) influence requires Ukraine to open up the its currently limited access market.
A public and prolonged adult to adult conversation with the Ukrainian constituency is required – and the government must convincingly make its case regarding the societal, as well as economic, benefits of economic reorientation.
A Soviet-style announcement and belated explanation/justification in a parent to child lecture is not how this particular issue can be addressed with any hope of being accepted with any understanding, or in some sections of society, tolerance.
It is a conversation that needs to begin now. It is a conversation that needs to be given some prominence and a conversation that has continue. It is an issue that the government has to explain – and identify where the benefits of these actions will be seen and felt.
It is a conversation that if not had, and not seen to be had, is likely to lead to some particularly difficult and otherwise avoidable moments.

MarleyDontShootEm - Pull Up
By: djay
MarleyDontShootEm returns to our pages for the first time in a minute with his new single entitled, "Pull Up".
MarleyDontShootEm has been quiet, but believe me this does not mean he hasn't been working. "Pull Up" is a perfect example of how Marley plans to not only take the rest of the summer over, but we'll throw Chicago in that equation as well. See for yourself below.

Rockin' in a free world – I've always loved this song. I've recently learned to play in on the bass, heard a pub band play a great version at the weekend and get to jam it tonight.
Homemade falafel – I don't know why I've never bothered to do these before. The dough was simple to make in the Vitamix but I reckon it wouldn't have been too difficult by hand. They taste amazing. Mass produced store bought ones are so dry.
A new book by Scarlett Thomas – It's so exciting to walk into a bookshop and find something telling you that there is new book by one of your favourite authors being published in a few weeks. I rarely buy books but will certainly be purchasing Our terrible universe on 20th May.
Other good stuff - Vegan Thai red curry, white wine, great customer service from Marks and Spencer, water, Cool Hand Luke (what we've got here is failure to communicate), election madness.
