"Do not bother to do to your child!"
Psychologies: Does every talented child?
Elena Makarova: Yes, I have not met untalented children, they are creative by nature. If we think that the child not interested in anything, so we just have not found something that would arouse his creativity. Perhaps he has no sense of internal security or sufficient freedom of mind to do. Another thing is that one should not confuse creativity and expression itself. Baby cries or makes a movement - as he expresses himself. But if we tell him: "Show how it will sound like your joy, your desire, your anger ..." - then the child will begin to look for a fact from which it derives creativity will start to give it a special meaning. Express themselves - that in itself is neither good nor bad, but if we want to help your child, you need to show him the goal, to make sense of his spontaneous self-expression.
How to understand how the child has talent?
E. M .: It is necessary to observe what he likes, what directed his attention? If the child likes to imitate, copy of motion and gait everyone sees, he certainly has the acting ability, then with it you can "arrange theater" play role-playing games, etc. If it is particularly attentive to the sounds, to the intonation of speech.. - then you have to develop it in this direction led to concerts, arrange family jazz Seishi, to show how sound kitchen "tools" - pots, spoons and cups ... dull sound, open sound ... You can make a whole orchestra! In general, with young children it is important to time to play games, awaken creativity.
Elena Makarova - art therapist, historian, writer, author of many books, including fiction, works on art therapy and the history of the concentration camp Theresienstadt. Since 1990 lives in Jerusalem, he conducts seminars in Russia, the US and Europe. E. M .: I call these games "everything can be all." Games-transformation, a metamorphosis of the game, in which the actions of the main law - the law of transformation. Take any object, say a cup - you can do it forever. It can be a vessel may be a cap, or a mountain person. If a cup of water to put in the freezer, then the surface of the frozen water can become a skating rink if to hide it in a dark box - it never will be, etc. You can take any object, accidentally caught in the field of view (diversified one, with different shapes, colors).. and play with them. Game - is the most important, the main way for the development of creative imagination.
What to do if a child light up the desire to be engaged in something, and then cools down?
E. M .: If your child has lost the desire to, say, play an instrument, you can look for another teacher or temporarily stop training, otherwise he may aversion to music. Do not put him in the position of the accused - for something that does not bring it to the end: perhaps he simply felt the need to get the experience to understand what he really likes. Maybe this kind of creativity in general, "it", or maybe just not yet time - because it is important to not only offer the child a good lesson, but also make it in time. If it dampens the need to make efforts, we should not indulge in the exhortation: "To play as the lady on TV, you have to try very hard." The argument is better to do something that gives pleasure to the child. Once I explained to one small composer - he did not really want to study theory - for which there are notes in the morning to play or sing that wrote yesterday. This explanation seemed reasonable, and he agreed to teach them.
It is believed that drawing is useful for all children. What exactly? E. M .: At the age of three to five years is the most important way of expression - the child simply can not be uninteresting to portray. Highly recommend to buy a roll of paper and hang it on the free space (suitable and old wallpaper, they can draw on the reverse side), putting a number of charcoal or pencils. It is a roll - it is not a pity to unwind and tear off pieces. You'll see everything that happens to your child, in what mood he is, what thinks - it is a kind of diary. By the way, the adult is a drawing would be useful in the same way as children. Large space helps a child - he did not squeezed the hand he draws freely as breathing, and does not care about how to create a picture that parents then have to hang on the wall and show your friends and acquaintances.
At what age did you engage?
Today, many studios open their doors to preschoolers, school children, teenagers. What is better to choose - painting, dance, theater? It depends not only on the inclinations, but also on the age, says child psychologist Catherine Dolto-Tolich (Catherine Dolto-Tolitch).
3 years
Classes to develop musical abilities offer the kids to discover the rhythm, sounds, songs, and try himself to play the drums, etc. Some experts believe that you can start at this age to play the piano or violin:.. Until the child began to study " serious subjects "at school, his mind is more flexible. To acquaint the child with the masterpieces of painting (drive in galleries, museums) can start at any age, as well as to engage in drawing at home. But the exhibition visit should not last more than an hour, otherwise there is a sense of satiety.
6 years of age
Art schools and studios offer a variety of activities:.. Painting, drawing, ceramics, modeling, sculpture, mosaic art, etc. The age of participants is determined by the technical complexity. Ear training lessons in music schools start at six years, and receiving training to play an instrument - a year later. Classes in acting and mime can be offered to children from six years - with the proviso that in the first place put the fun of the game, instead of the classical repertoire. Theater can be taught in a group of established rules allow to do together and learn to control themselves.
7-8 years
The best age to start playing sports or dancing.
Photo Art, video studio, computer graphics are very popular at this age. How clamped and too emotional teenagers help class theater and plastic arts: they will learn to express themselves and find contact with his own body.
Why do some children are kept very jammed?
E. M .: From birth, the baby does not get caught. In the words of artist and writer Nikolai Kuzmin, "in the beginning was the childhood, when each of us was a genius." Initially, the children learn the world, holding the line, causing the paint to create plastic forms, and does not know what is commonplace. They are clamped and then, when they start to press two "systems": notorious parents and kindergarten rules, which are taught to draw or sculpt "similar" and "how to". By the end of primary school the child is often "lost talent." Because the school often does not develop, and exploit his abilities. A child plays already spent their templates and hits a dead end. Another hindrance to creativity - parental ambition. If the parents are obsessed with the idea of success, demand from the son or daughter of the result - to be the best! - the child can completely atrophy desire to paint, make music, compose ...
Noticing the child's obvious abilities, whether it is necessary to focus on, say, a career actor?
E. M .: is not necessary, but it is necessary to do everything to develop them. For example, the rapid development of musical talent as a child can then help the child become a great mathematician or computer programmer - perhaps programmer codes, he will perceive more freely - like notes. It is very important to have good teachers and sensitive parents who did not crush a child's creativity.
The liberation of creativity
Some parents believe that the arts are not too important, if the child does not aim to be a musician or an artist. It is not so: creativity in any case gives a child an inner freedom and the ability to maintain himself as a person. It is well understood Austrian artist and teacher Friedl Dicker-Brandeis (Friedl Dicker-Brandeis), which was engaged in painting with the children in the Czech Terezin ghetto during the Second World War. Children create stunning level of freedom works. Thanks to the creativity of the children managed to escape - at least for an hour - from oppressive reality. children were often imagine things that have never seen or have seen but forgotten. In the classroom free themes alternated with still lifes or copying pictures. Iskusstvoterapiya which Friedl worked with children in the ghetto, was directed primarily against the fear, she healed spiritually children, give them a sense of freedom, put in order their thoughts and feelings. Five thousand children's drawings, Friedl summary of lectures for teachers and educators have been found in homes and bars-kah Terezín after the war; she herself was killed in Auschwitz in 1944. Friedl disciples who survived the horrors of Auschwitz and Terezin became artists, art, child psychologists, doctors ... they owe her career choice, many are still looking through her eyes.
Elena Makarova
How do you know a good teacher or a bad one?
E. M .: have a bad teacher has no interest in the child. He may have interest in the subject taught, but to pedagogy that does not apply. Much depends on the setting: if a teacher said to myself that this child no matter what is not capable, then the child will not able to - and then transformed into a class of torment. The task of a good teacher - give the child space for development. It requires sensitivity to see whether the student talent lies precisely in this area, and if not - refuse to achieve a result and send the child to that to which he does have ability.
As modern parents, in their employment, to create an atmosphere for the child at home, where will develop and imagination and creative thinking? E. M .: When we do not know how to help your child needs at least he did not get in the way. If he is doing something, building something or writes to himself, he is still in the process of creativity. The funny thing is that the children from us almost nothing. "Can I paint with here?" - asks the son or daughter, and we will reply to them: "No!" Many erect bastions of prohibitions: it does not take, to avoid touching ... adults all the time once, many simply forgot to contemplate, see the opportunity to create something new. But it's the property lives in children. They - and contemplate the figures at the same time.

The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar is the new name of Turbine Entertainment's Middle-earth Online, the MMO based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. A re-branding has followed the developer's announcement back in March that it had snaffled exclusive rights to both develop and publish MMO titles based on Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. New screens from Shadows of Angmar have been released.
No prizes for guessing that The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar offers up adventure in Middle-earth for thousands, players roaming around the likes of The Shire, Rivendell and Bree. It seems as though the initial release will only feature locations from LOTR part one The Fellowship of the Ring, with Turbine presumably expanding the game world as time progresses. Unite in fellowship, give Sauron's minions a good duffing and then retire to Bag End for tea and biscuits.
The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar is expected to launch next year.

Raiders Suffer First Home Defeat Of The Season
Prince Albert, SK – Despite firing 44 shots on goal, the Prince Albert Raiders (33-3-0-1) dropped a 2-1 game to the Regina Pats (12-24-0-1) on Sunday evening at the Art Hauser Centre.
It was the Raiders' first loss at the Art Hauser Centre this season and snapped a five-game winning streak. Dean McNabb earned first star honours for the game with a 43-save performance.
The Pats got one the board just 18 seconds into the game. Following a defensive zone turnover, Logan Nijhoff stopped Duncan Pierce's, turned and fired a backhander past Donovan Buskey to make it 1-0.
Later in the first, Regina increased its lead. Liam Schioler fired a slap shot from the left wing that beat Buskey under the bar to give the Pats a 2-0 advantage at the 8:01 mark.
Shortly after the media timeout, the Raiders cut into the lead. Off of a scrummed faceoff in the offensive zone, Ozzy Wiesblatt dug the puck out of the group and fed Noah Gregor in the slot. The San Jose Sharks prospect walked in and wired a shot past McNabb to make it 2-1 after 20 minutes.
At that point, the Raiders held a 10-6 advantage on the shot clock and only allowed another seven all game.
However, the Pats were able to get in the way of the Raiders' shots throughout the rest of the game. The Raiders had their chances to tie it up. A Gregor shot looked destined for the far, top corner, but a Pats defenceman knocked the puck out of the air. Later, Max Martin found himself alone in the slot, but couldn't connect on a backhand feed to Cole Fonstad.
Late in the third, the Raiders drew two penalties to have 48 seconds of five-on-three time, but were unable to put a puck past McNabb. On the night, the Raiders finished 0-7 with the man advantage.
Buskey finished with the game with 11 saves on the evening for his first loss between the pipes as a Raider.
The Raiders will have a chance for retribution on New Year's Day when they travel to Regina for a rematch with the Pats at the Brandt Centre. Game time is 4 p.m. on Tuesday.
The next Raiders' home game is on Friday night when the Moose Jaw Warriors (19-8-5-1) make their first trip to Prince Albert this season. Then, the Raiders host the Saskatoon Blades (22-11-5-0) on Saturday. Puck drop for both games is 7 p.m. Tickets are available at raiderhockey.com and the Raider Office.

Since the Spanish conquest, the Mayas have clung to the semi-barren, open plains of the peninsula, and have more than once revolted.
Confirmatory evidence of this is to be found, not only in the character of their constructions, but in the circumstance that a tribe closely akin to the Mayas (the Huastecos) still occupies a retired mountain valley of Vera Cruz, entirely separated from their kinsmen of the south, and that a dialect of the Maya language is still spoken in northern Vera Cruz.
Occasionally the Church gave trouble - the presence of foreign priests was complained of; attempts to evade the law prohibiting conventual life were detected and foiled (1891, 1894); and there were Indian risings, repressed sometimes with great severity, among the Mayas of Yucatan, whose last stronghold was taken in 1891, and the Yaquis of Sonora (1899-1900).
The Mayas have left no r cord of their institutions or of the causes of their decline, beyond what may be deduced from their ruined structures.
Other remains which bear witness to tlae civilization of, the Mayas are the paved highways and the artificial reservoirs (aguadas) designed for the preservation of water for towns through the long dry season.
The Nahuatl lapidaries had at hand many varieties of workable and beautiful stone - onyx, marble, limestone, quartz and quartz crystal, granite, syenite, basalt, trachyte, rhyolite, diorite and obsidian, the best of material prepared for them by nature; while the Mayas had only limestone, and hard, tenacious rock with which to work it, and timber for burning lime.
The Mayas had a calendar of 360 days, with intercalary days; this solar year was intersected by their sacred year of twenty weeks of thirteen days each, and these assembled in bewildering cycles.
None of them were written except through the use of ideographs, in the making of which the Aztecs used colours with much skill, while the Mayas used an abbreviated form, or symbols.
There is evidence to show that the Aztecs adopted the civilization of the Toltecs, including their religion (Quetzalcoatl being a god of the Toltecs and Mayas), calendar and architecture.
Perhaps the most remarkable of the Mexican races are the Mayas, or MayaQuiche group, which inhabit the Yucatfin peninsula, Campeche and parts of Tabasco, Chiapas, and the neighbouring states of Central America (q.v.).
The Totonacs inhabit northern Vera Cruz and speak a language related to that of the Mayas; the Tarascos form a small group living in Michoacan; the Matlanzingos, or Matlaltzincas, live near the Tarascos, the savage Apaches, a nomadic group of tribes ranging from Durango northward into the United States; the Opata-Pima group, inhabiting the western plateau region from Sonora and Chihuahua south to Guadalajara, is sometimes classed as a branch of the Nahuatlaca; the Seris, a very small family of savages, occupy Tiburon Island and the adjacent mainland of Sonora; and the Guaicuros, or Yumas, are to be found in the northern part of the peninsula of Lower California.
Their prehistoric civilization appears to have been not inferior to that of the Mayas.
In the 16th century the Mayas and Quiches had attained a high level of civilization (see Central America, Archaeology), and at least two of the Guatemalan languages, Quiche and Cakchiquel, possess the rudiments or the relics of a literature.
But naturally there are other developments to be noticed when originally distinct attributes are combined, when, for example, Greek goddesses take the forms of birds as well as of snakes (Harrison, 322), or when the Aztec snake-deity Huitzilcpochtli, like the Votan of the Mayas, has feathers (Maclennan, 384).7 Thus it will be perceived that the subject of this article involves at every turn problems of the history of thought (cf.
Legend tells stories of his teaching men picture-writing and the calendar, and also the artistic work of the silversmith, for which Cholula was long famed; but at last he departed, some say towards the unknown land of Tlapallan, but others to Coatzacoalcos on the Atlantic coast on the confines of Central America, where native tradition still keeps up the divine names of Gucumatz among the Quiches and Cukulcan among the Mayas, these names have the same meaning as Quetzalcoati.
The Itzas, Mopans, Lacandons, Chols, Pokonchi and the Pokomans who inhabit the large settlement of Mixco near the capital, all belong to the Maya family; but parts of central and eastern Guatemala are peopled by tribes distinct from the Mayas and not found in Mexico.
A few may be descendants of the Aztecs and Mayas, whose temples, sculptures, burialgrounds, &c., have not yet been fully explored.
Examples of this are given in § 20; it is worthy of notice that the vigesimal (or, rather, quinary-quaternary) system was used by the Mayas of Yucatan, and also, in a more perfect form, by the Nahuatl (Aztecs) of Mexico.

- Died 29 March 1972, Wandsworth Common, London

- Occupation School teacher

- Style Right-hand bat, left arm fast medium
- Teams Dublin University, Leinster
Basil Ward was a very good opening bowler, arguably the best fastish left armer seen in Irish Cricket with the notable exception of Alec O'Riordan. Patrick Hone, a shrewd observer of a player, if not always a fully accurate historian, described him as having, "A lovely rhythmic action, shortest run up and delivery all in one piece." His main ball was an inswinger which, after pitching cut away towards the slips, compelling a shot and often finding either the off stump or an edge. He varied this with one which held its line, and, if pitched short, would rear nastily into the batsman's body.
A slim fair-haired man, who was undoubtedly the best cricketer ever produced by Mountjoy School, which, though now defunct, formed the nucleus of Dublin's Mount Temple Comprehensive, Ward entered Dublin University in 1908, but did not play regularly for the XI until 1912, though he did appear in senior cricket for the Leinster Club. In 1912 he joined one of the strongest teams in the University's history under the captaincy of Dickie Lloyd. To bat there were Lloyd and his swashbuckling partner Harry Read backed up by the dour Westralian Pat Quinlan. Basil had a fellow future International pace bowler in WL Sproule, to share the new ball, while they were backed up by the Quinlan brothers - Pat at medium pace and the leg breaks of his elder brother, Bernard.
Basil took 94 wickets in 17 matches, including two hat tricks in the same innings against County Meath. The opposition the Club played was variable, including several military sides. As readers of these biographies will be aware, some of these teams were very weak, but others were of, at least, minor county standard. Not surprisingly, he won the first of his four Irish caps at the end of the summer: his Irish career, all of which was against Scotland is considered below. The following season saw him take a further 72 wickets. He played for Leinster in 1914 but was one of several former First XI players to return for the University season in 1919. However four of Basil's team mates of the 1913 side had made the supreme sacrifice.
He now formed a penetrating opening attack with the very accurate medium pacer "Wenty" Allen. This was the first season of the Leinster Senior League, mostly played over 2 innings. Basil, who took 112 wickets at 8.33 in all matches to give him a total in three seasons of 278, had 3 "5 fors" in the League while Allen did likewise. Though they were formidable away from home, it is possible that their success owed something to the College Park wicket. The ground had been requisitioned for OTC training during the War and, in Easter 1916, cavalrymen brought in to suppress the Rising, used it to graze their horses. The Club won 15 of their matches, drew three and finished third in the League. Otherwise their opposition continued to be much as it had been before the War. The following year, with the captaincy having passed from the autocratic machine gun officer AP Kelly to the more placid Old Clongowian, RW Power, the team remained strong but dropped two places in the League. Allen had four "5 fors," but the feat eluded Basil. However he showed outstanding form in other matches.
Derbyshire, by some distance the worst side in the County Championship that season, were defeated by 6 wickets. Allen took 8 in the first innings, but in the second, Basil and James Wills, another fast medium man, possibly the best bowler to hail from Co Mayo, hustled the visitors out for 68, leaving their batsmen a fairly simple task. There was, despite a somewhat similar result, a much closer fought encounter with Cambridge, who brought nine of the side which had drawn a rain ruined "Varsity Match" with Oxford, and filled one of the gaps with the Middlesex and Ireland Old Blue El Kidd. This powerful team was bowled out on a dry College Park wicket for 140, with Basil bowling magnificently to take 6-54. Alas, Cambridge also possessed a magnificent, Dublin educated, bowler. Leg spinner CS Marriott, a Lancastrian who had been sent to Armagh Royal School and St Columbas College for his health, and who 12 years later, at the age of 38 took 11 wickets in his only Test Match, snared 11-80 in helpful conditions. Only Kelly could cope with him. The Cambridge opener JCW Mac Bryan, who lived to become, at the time, England's oldest living Test Cricketer, made 99 and the visitors recorded a 6 wicket win.
Ward was also to record outstanding figures when the University played the Military of Ireland, for the last time. He having the remarkable match return of 18-94, with innings analysis of 9-54 and 9-40.
The War, and his decision to leave Ireland, meant that he only played four times for his country. It must be said that many less talented pacemen have played on many more occasions. His debut match at Rathmines is chiefly remembered for the remarkable leg break bowling of his fellow debutant WR Gregory, later to win posthumous fame as WB Yeats "Irish Airman." Gregory took 8-80 in Scotland's first innings. This, and an exciting finish which saw the visitors win by 3 runs, rather overshadowed Basil's performance. He was accurate but wicketless in the first innings, but had 3-17 in the second, cutting into the top order. In 1913 and 1914, Scotland were the only opposition Ireland faced. The 1913 match at Raeburn Place should have been won, a draw possibly resulting from a delayed declaration by Pat Hone. Basil, however, had a good match. He returned his best bowling figures for Ireland taking 4-46, including numbers 2, 3 and 4 in the order on a fast first-innings wicket. However he managed only two as the Scots batted out time in the second. 1914 saw another narrow Scots win with Basil again worrying the batsmen to take a brace of wickets in each innings. His last match, in 1920, was to prove wicketless, though his bowling was economical as usual.
After that season, he was seen no more in major matches in Ireland. One can only regret this and echo Hone's words, "It is a pity we did not see more of him in Irish Cricket."
As it was he took up a teaching appointment in London. One of his pupils was a boy called Geoffrey Whitelock, who many years later was to be one of those responsible for producing the massive Bibliography of Cricket, besides producing esoteric but fascinating pamphlets on topics such as 'Cricket in the writings of James Joyce,' of which there is as surprising amount! In a letter to the present writer in 1980, Whitelock recalled Ward as, "A kindly man who stimulated and encouraged our interest in cricket by example and by anecdotes." A historian or biographer of Irish cricket and its players can only regret that Ward never wrote these down. However his place in Irish Cricket history is assured, and in the history of Dublin University Cricket Club, on whose website Gerard Siggins has, deservedly, included him in their Best Ever XI.

Every Dark Regime Has Its Informers
In Israel, Shai Shammay Glick, a devout right-wing activist, for years has complained to every journalist and politician about every humanist or left-wing cultural event. He just got a gallery in Jerusalem shut down. And he has accomplices.
The Jerusalem municipality may have been the one to close the Barbur Gallery, the capital's only non-profit community gallery, because it hosted a speech by Breaking the Silence, but the real credit goes to someone else. It was neither Mayor Nir Barkat nor Culture Minister Miri Regev but Shai Shammay Glick, a devout right-wing activist, who for years has incessantly complained to every journalist possible as well as to various government ministries and local authorities about every gallery, cafe, cultural center or private individual that dares host a humanist or left-wing cultural event. Glick deems such events to be either encouraging terror or vilifying the military.
- Jerusalem Gallery Shuttered After Government Demands It Cancel Anti-occupation Group Event
- Open Season on Regime Opponents
Not that Glick, heaven forbid, is a great culture buff. He isn't at all. He hasn't attended a single exhibition that he has tried to shut down. He suffices with reading ads about them and sets off to work. Glick isn't satisfied solely with local cultural centers, either. A year ago he boasted that he had sent a protest letter to the French embassy in Israel (in Hebrew, mind you, and full of embarrassing mistakes), in which he complained that a dance festival in Marseille had invited Israeli choreographer Arkadi Zaides to present a work which included video clips that B'Tselem had recorded.
The Barbur Gallery was long in his sights. He joined Im Tirzu in August 2015 following an exhibition in which it displayed photographs and stories by Palestinians from East Jerusalem. Im Tirzu sent a letter to the Jerusalem municipality demanding that it freeze financial support for Barbur because it was "glorifying convicted terrorists." In that case, Glick and Im Tirzu actually didn't get what they wanted; the exhibition remained open. However, the setback didn't stop Glick from claiming at the time that the move had succeeded. And this time, his information fell on sensitive ears, those of Minister Regev and Mayor Barkat, a candidate in the Likud primaries.
Glick sent an email to journalists Monday titled, "Appreciation and recognition of the completion of Operation Swan Song." (Barbur means swan in English.) He reveled in his success and thanked Deputy Attorney General Danny Lieberman for "his personal and dedicated handling" of the move to close Barbur. It seems that even Glick didn't believe that shutting down the gallery would be so easy.
Every dark regime has its informers, also called rats. Glick is no longer so alone in the system. He has students and others to carry on his work. Someone inside Shenkar College called the office of Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked to inform her about the nude caricature of her on display there, and someone else reported about the poster of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with a hanging rope at Bezalel Academy. The Glicks of this world know their time has come, and they are celebrating.
Glick has a long list of institutions in his sights, and he will make it his business to shut them all down, one by one. Perhaps he isn't a big culture buff, but he now certainly looks like an artist, the kind whose hands hold strings to manipulate marionettes, who are none other than the politicians on the right.

Dayton, October 22, 2018: Wright Brothers Institute (WBI), along with the Air Force Research Laboratory's (AFRL) 711th Human Performance Wing (HPW), will host the 2018 Bench-to-Business Showcase at 444 E. Second Street in Dayton on November 8, 2018 from 8:30-3:00. The focus of the event will be to demonstrate how scientists and engineers in AFRL/711th HPW have leveraged Technology Transfer and Transition (T3) processes to make a difference in their research, bolster the economy and impact the world.
As AFRL looks to bring exceptional technological capability to the Air Force, education and understanding of T3 processes are essential. These processes allow for partnerships, collaborations and the acquisition of new technologies. This is the second year for the event, which promises to showcase AFRL technologies that are in various stages of transfer and transition. The event is open to industry, academia, commercial businesses and community members, and aims to connect a variety of audiences with information about how they may participate in the Air Force T3 process. Attendees will be able to interact with scientists and engineers, legal experts and T3 representatives from AFRL and the 711th HPW.
Examples of T3 success stories are providing promise to Dayton's economy. GlobalFlyte, a startup that provides superior incident response platform for first responders, was made possible with two AFRL technologies. SPGlobal, Inc., the systems engineering firm that licensed the technologies, invested $1.5M in the startup, which brought $640K back to AFRL. SPGlobal projects a total of 20 jobs by 2019 and a $100M valuation by 2023. Without T3 collaboration between the Air Force and industry, startups like GlobalFlyte wouldn't exist.
Registration is free. Please visit https://zurl.co/rLQd to secure your tickets.

Holy Hand Sanitizer
The Catholic Diocese of Dallas's churches are offering hand sanitizer to their attendees along with holy water. I guess they finally realized that holy water wasn't good for anything but spreading sickness:
Church officials are also not going to offer the communal wine during Mass. During the service, parishoners accepting Holy Communion drink from the same cup.
It's not the only thing that will change during the service. The church said things can be done differently during the peace offering, when members greet each other in the pews and shake hands.
"At that moment, you don't have to make bodily contact," Gonzales Taylor said. "You can merely acknowledge the person next to you and offer the sign of peace verbally."
They have faith that God can raise the dead, heal the sick, and embody a cracker — but he won't he keep his children from infecting each other with disease as they worship him?
Evolution Witnessed by Scientists
[Originally posted at: Unreasonable Faith]
Brothers! The evilution conspiracy continues, this time by GODLESS SCIENTISTS participating in a massive CONSPIRACY to claim evolution has been witnessed! The audacity! They are spitting in our Savior's face! They are wrong, brethren and sisthren, for they DENY THE BIBLE and WORSHIP THE DEVIL! Praise be to JESUS' holy name they'll be burning in hell for all eternity!!!
Er, sorry. What I meant to say is scientists have witnessed evolution firsthand in a controlled study:
Observing the mechanisms of evolution in order to understand how a species adapts to another under different ecological conditions was the goal of researchers at the Laboratoire Écologie et Évolution…. They studied two bacteria — a predator and a prey — over 300 generations in a controlled environment.
For the first time, these scientists were able to demonstrate that the coevolutionary process is dependent on ecological conditions. Indeed, under certain conditions, the prey becomes resistant to the predator, which itself evolves so that it can attack this new prey. In addition, the scientists issued a warning against the previously envisaged use of this predator (Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus) as a "living antibiotic" because, like other antibiotics, this could lead to the selection of resistant pathogenic bacteria.
It seems we find more evidence for evolution each day. Yet when have you ever heard of evidence for creationism being discovered even once?

Popular Pastor Encourages Child Suffering
A popular Christian pastor, John Piper, thinks spanking is okay. Actually, that's a bit of an understatement. He's really excited about spanking.
He believes God makes us suffer, so we should imitate him and make our children suffer by spanking them.
No, I'm not kidding, and no, this isn't a parody.
Here are some quotes from "Would Jesus spank a child?":
If Jesus were married and had children, I think he would have spanked the children.
Actually, I think the wonder-working Jesus would have been able to control his kids without hitting them, don't you? If he could walk on water and rise from the dead, it seems doubtful he'd need to spank his children to keep them in line.
But why would someone think it's a great idea to hit children? For Piper, it's a view of God who hurts his children because he loves them:
Deep down, does this person believe that God brings pain into our lives? Because … God disciplines every son whom he loves, and spanks everyone that he delights in (my paraphrase). And the point there is suffering. God brings sufferings into our lives, and the writer of the Hebrews connects it to the parenting of God of his children….
God uses suffering to discipline his children. So do we.
Oh, so God's like an abusive husband who hits his wife because he loves her! I get it now. He'd be gentle and kind, but that just wouldn't be as effective, you know?
Abortion Is a Blood Sacrifice Unto Satan!
Here's a deranged priest that performs exorcisms who calls abortion a "demonic industry." Listen to this guy. He's nuts:
"Abortion is a demonic industry," he told The Bulletin. "Abortion is blood sacrifice of innocent blood to the devil. The clinics are like temples, the doctors are like priests, the medical table is like their altar. It's a ritualized sacrifice. They have a dogma called choice, a hierarchy called Planned Parenthood, and guardian angels in the form of police guards that will arrest you if you try to stop them."
Now that's some loaded language. He's trying to make abortion look like a satanic religion, when really it's just a medical procedure.
He said that there have been abortionists who have called abortion "their sacrament."
As Wikipedia would say, "citation needed." Perhaps someone said this, but if they did, they were joking. But he doesn't sound like the kind of guy who would get a joke.
Bad Economy Boosts Psychic Business
[Originally posted at: Unreasonable Faith]
As most of us know, when people are in hard times they are more open to superstition. So while it's no surprise that psychics are getting more business, it's still a little disappointing.
CNN has a profile on a psychic fraud (except they call her a "medium" instead of the more accurate term "fraud"):
"It's more types of people I have never seen before," says [psychic] Roxanne Usleman. "Men in the business world, high-powered jobs, stock market, Wall Street."
Since last fall, she says she began to see a new type of client — a "logical, [A-type] of personality." Many of them are "just completely lost," says Usleman.
Wait, logical personalities are going to a psychic? They must really be lost, because there's nothing logical about going to a psychic.

Do You Have Biblical Morals?
Christians love to claim that their morality comes from the bible. And they do — to an extent. But they often forget about or ignore the evil examples and commands of their holy book.
Here's a quiz to see if you have biblical morality. It asks questions like:
Two strangers visit your home, and you are kind enough to provide them with accommodations for the night. They tell you they are angels appearing on behalf of the Lord. However, later in the evening, an angry mob turns up seeking to sodomize your guests. What do you do?
If you buy a Hebrew servant, how many years must he serve?

What is Plantar Fasciitis?
One of the most common and stubborn forms of foot pain is plantar fasciitis. On average, 2 million Americans suffer from this condition every year, and about 10% of the population will experience it within their lifetime.[1]
The most common symptom is a sharp pain in the heel, just below the arch of the foot, especially first thing in the morning. So, what is it and why do we get it?
First, having a basic understanding of the foot anatomy is helpful to answering questions around plantar fasciitis. Let's start with some basic anatomical terms:
- Anterior-front of body
- Posterior-back or behind the body
- Lateral-away from the centerline
- Medial-towards the centerline
- Proximal-closer to the heart
- Distal-further away from the heart
- Forefoot-includes from the toes to midfoot area
- Midfoot-includes the area of the arch of your foot
- Hindfoot-the heel area of the foot
- Abduction-the foot/ankle rotates away from midline
- Adduction-the foot/ankle rotates towards midline
- Dorsiflexion-foot bends upward
- Plantarflexion-foot bends downward
- Eversion (valgus)- weight bearing is on the inside of the foot while the "smallest toe" simultaneously points upward
- Inversion (varus)-weight bearing is on the outside of the foot while the "big toe" simultaneously points upward
- Pronation-foot movement combines all three: abduction, dorsiflexion, and eversion
- Supination-foot movement combines all three: adduction, plantarflexion, and inversion
Our feet can withstand great forces by design, but with genetics, poor shoe wear, weak muscles, etc., it can cause a mechanical breakdown. Each foot has 26 bones, 33 joints, 19 muscles, and 107 ligaments.
Bones provide structure, joints are when two bones meet, muscles are soft tissue that provides strength and movement, tendons connect muscle to bone, and ligaments connect bone to bone. A breakdown in any one of these anatomical structures may cause trouble.
In the forefoot, we have 19 bones which make up our toes (phalanges) and middle of our foot bones (metatarsal). Our toe movement comes from tendons attached to muscles within our lower leg. The major muscles involved in the movement of our toes are the Soleus and Flexor Digitorum Longus muscles which can be found in the back our lower leg.
The midfoot, or arch, has a total of 5 bones (Cuboid, Navicular, and 3 Cuneiform) which makes up the ankle. Together these five bones connect the forefoot, hindfoot, and the lower leg bones together to form the ankle. There are a lot of ligaments in this area to ensure there is not only movement but stability.
The hindfoot there are two bones (Talus and Calcaneus) which form the heel. These two bones take on the brunt of the weight bearing of our body. They can withstand great force and pressure. Besides bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments, we also have fascia tissue within our feet.
Fascia is a deep thick band of connective tissue throughout our bodies which is all interconnected, similar to a spider web. The fascia at the bottom of our feet, called plantar fascia, connects from the heel and spans to each of the proximal phalanges, or toes. With stress or wear and tear, the fascia becomes irritated and inflamed. When this happens, it is called plantar fasciitis.
Most plantar fasciitis starts off with irritation and inflammation of the tissue; however, studies have shown that over time the fascia degenerates and becomes disorganized, which means the collagen within the tissue breaks down and no longer properly aligns. Therefore, it can be stubborn to heal as the condition is not just simply inflammation.
What causes a plantar fasciitis?
Some of us are at higher risk than others of getting plantar fasciitis. A few of these risk factors include:
- Age, over 40 years' old
- Athletes with repetitive impact (e.g. runners)
- BMI (body mass index) over 30
- Exposed to a rapid increase in weight bearing activity
- Menopausal women
- Occupations that are requiring prolonged standing (e.g. cash register attendants, teachers, factory workers, etc.)
- Poor foot mechanics (e.g. flat feet or high arches)
Beyond the risk factors, the common causes for why the fascia becomes irritated includes:
- Improper shoe wear (e.g. high heels or flat sandals)
- Poor flexibility of calf muscles and Achilles tendon
It is not all that uncommon to develop a bone spur in the heel with plantar fasciitis. Despite what some may think, bone spurs do not cause plantar fasciitis, nor do they commonly cause any pain.
Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis
The most notable symptom is heel pain in the morning or while climbing the stairs. If you experience pain at night while sleeping, then you may have a different condition than plantar fasciitis.
Often the pain is sharp in nature and starts at the heel; however, the pain can radiate to the forefoot and midfoot areas. Most will report the most significant pain is after weight bear activities or within the first few steps in the morning.
How is plantar fasciitis diagnosed?
Plantar fasciitis is diagnosed through a physical exam by your health care provider, either your physical therapist (PT) or physician. Rarely are images like X-Rays or MRIs (magnetic resonance imaging) used. Images are only used in cases where there is suspect of another medical condition.
Your PT or physician will review your medical history and will ask questions about your activity levels. He or she will also complete a full and lower leg exam. The goal is to rule in, or out, plantar fasciitis or some other condition like a stress fracture.
Treatment of Plantar Fasciitis
The bad news is fascia, like ligaments, are very slow to heal. It takes months or longer before the fascia may calm down. The good news is there are ways to at least help speed up the recovery time.
First, rest as much as you can from the activities that flare-up the symptoms. Limit prolonged walking, standing, and running. Second, make sure you are wearing proper footwear which may also require a foot orthotic to support the structure of the foot arch. For some, heel pads can also help alleviate symptoms.
PT is highly recommended for plantar fasciitis. Due to it being such a stubborn condition, there are things your PT can do for you to help alleviate symptoms and with luck reduce the amount of time the symptoms stick around.
After a thorough evaluation, your PT will collaborate with you on establishing realistic goals and time frames to reach those goals. To start, your PT will focus on symptom managements, which can be done by customizing a fitted orthotic or night splint, educating you on proper shoe wear for good arch support, and may even tape the bottom of your foot to help support the structure of your foot.
Since plantar fasciitis is known to be a degenerative and fibrous tissue malalignment, often a PT will introduce soft tissue mobilization. This technique uses a hard tool like GRASTON®, ASYTM®, or Gua Sha tools. The goal of this technique is to reintroduce the natural healing process of the body as well as to help realign the fibrous tissue, which can be an uncomfortable technique while it is performed. However, most feel the relief of symptoms afterward.
In addition to soft tissue mobilization, your PT will introduce you to proper exercises, stretches, and gait pattern training techniques. The purpose is to stretch out the tight gastrocnemius and soleus muscles in the calf to reduce tension and tissue stress within the foot. As well, proper exercises to strengthen the foot and lower leg will also help reduce additional stress.
Gait training is a combination of awareness, orthotics, and shoe wear. Your PT will talk with you about what shoes are the best fit for your foot, which is key in helping with the recovery process. Orthotics will support the arch, whether flat or high, to reduce the stress of the fascia tissue. Finally, awareness of your gait pattern is important. If you have poor foot/heel strike, this biomechanics of the foot only prolongs healing as well as puts you at higher risk of the condition repeatedly returning.
Next Steps
Early intervention to plantar fasciitis is important because the sooner you address your symptoms, the more likely conservative care will work for you. As a consumer of health care, you have a choice in finding the right provider for you. Do your homework and search for a health care provider, like a physical therapist, with excellent outcomes, great customer reviews, and can provide you the care you need for a reasonable cost.
Most states have direct access to a physical therapist, meaning you can go directly to a physical therapist without a physician order. To determine if your state has direct access, please visit the American Physical Therapy Association's website Physical Therapy Direct Access By State.
To get started with conservative care today, you can find a highly qualified PT in your area. There are many qualified PTs, so to find one near you, please click on Find A Clinic. This link will help you find a PT that has top national rankings for treating foot pain such as plantar fasciitis.

Please join Mass NOW and local feminists for a discussion on combating the stigma around menstruation, personal connections to the topic, and how "the personal is political" applies to this policy issue. We will also learn about Mass NOW's new I AM bill in the Massachusetts Legislature and how you can help.Did you know??On average, menstruating individuals will use over 11,000 disposal pads and tampons in their lifetime. This can cost over $10 per month, and contributes to the "pink tax" – the idea that women (and in this case all menstruating people) pay more annually for their needs.Inability to access menstrual products can affect school attendance and productivity, adding to the issue of educational inequality.Lack of access to menstrual products is acutely difficult for homeless individuals, already struggling to meet other basic needs. HUD's December 2018 report put the number of homeless individuals in MA at over 20,000, up 14%, the largest increase in homelessness from 2017-2018 in the country.Menstrual products provided in state prisons are often of poor quality or provide minimal protection. In turn, women are forced to improvise unsafe solutions or to ask guards for more, a subject often uncomfortable or difficult to broach given that 40% of guards in female state prisons are male.Prisoners have the option to purchase hygiene products from a commissary which are often unaffordable on their less-than-a-dollar hourly salary.'Learn more about menstrual equity and and MassNOW's I AM Bill, which would make menstrual products free and accessible in public schools, prisons and homeless shelters by visiting our website at www.massnow.org/iam

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced the partnership between food product manufacturer LiDestri Food and Drink and Crop's N.V. of Belgium in Rochester. With support from the State, the successful companies will form a new company that will manufacture ready-to-eat-meals at a new 65,000 square-foot facility at Eastman Business Park. The partnership will result in the creation of 123 new full-time jobs over the next five years, and 900 jobs will be retained at LiDestri's two Finger Lakes region locations. In addition to the construction of the new facility, the $51.3 million project will also include the addition of manufacturing lines, a rail extension and utility upgrades.
"By investing in innovative projects and partnerships we are growing key industries across the state and creating more jobs for New Yorkers," Governor Cuomo said. "This new partnership will continue to highlight the region's great agricultural assets and build on the efforts of the regionally designed Finger Lakes Forward plan to reinvigorate communities and generate economic growth across the entire region."
"This project will significantly expand LiDestri's manufacturing operations at the growing Eastman Business Park in Rochester," said Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul, who announced the project in Rochester as part of the State of the State and budget presentation. "With state support, the new facility will further grow the food and agriculture industry and create new jobs in the region. This investment is one of several by the state and private companies to ensure the Finger Lakes continues to be a leader in the agricultural industry."
Up to $4 million for this project is being made available through the Finger Lakes Forward Upstate Revitalization Initiative. Another $4 million may also be provided through the Excelsior Tax Credit Program in exchange for job creation commitments. The URI capital grant stipulates that $1 million of the total $4 million grant is tied to the region's anti-poverty initiative. The company will need to hire 33 people meeting the eligibility requirements for the Rochester-Monroe Anti-Poverty Initiative.
LiDestri Food and Drink manufactures pasta sauces, dips, and salsas. The company also provides private label services for sauces and dips, oils and vinegars, spirits, and organic products. The company was originally formed in 1975 as Cantisano Foods, Inc. The company's name was changed in 2003 when it was purchased by the LiDestri family. The company has two manufacturing facilities in Monroe County (Fairport and Greece-EBP). More information about LiDestri is available here.
Crop's N.V. manufactures and distributes frozen food in Europe. It offers mono fruits, mixed fruits, purees, smoothies, bakery, and fruit buffets; and red, yellow, citrus, exotic, forest, organic fruits, etc. The company also provides mono and steam vegetables, vegetable stir fries, grilled vegetables, and bio products. The company was founded in 1948 and is based in Belgium. The company also has facilities in Costa Rica and Chile. More information about Crop's N.V. is available here.
Empire State Development President, CEO & Commissioner Howard Zemsky said, "Eastman Business Park is being re-energized by companies like LiDestri and Crop's N.V., and their exciting partnership is proof that successful companies are realizing the benefits of staying and growing in the Finger Lakes region."
John C. LiDestri, Co-President, LiDestri Food and Drink said, "We are excited because we are bringing an innovative product from our European partners that not only provides jobs for families but an innovative, on-trend healthy choice for families."
Finger Lakes Regional Economic Development Council Co-Chairs, Monroe Community College President Anne Kress and Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Bob Duffy said, "The revitalization of Eastman Business Park and assisting established companies like LiDestri and Crop's N.V are top priorities for the Finger Lakes Regional Economic Development Council and region's Finger Lakes Forward Initiative. Through these efforts we are putting the region on the right path, providing companies with the confidence and support they need to expand and grow, creating economic opportunities for years to come."
State Senator Joe Robach said, "LiDestri Food and Drink has been a catalyst to the transformation of Eastman Business Park and has become one of our region's fastest growing employers. This exciting partnership will bring even more jobs to the revitalized Eastman Business Park. As a member of the Finger Lakes Regional Economic Development Council, I am proud to see the state's investment in this project and significant tax dollars coming back to our community."
Assembly Member Harry Bronson said, "I applaud John C. LiDestri and the teams at LiDestri Food and Drink and Crop's N.V. of Belgium for their commitment to our region. Today's announcement by the company and Governor Cuomo shows that the Rochester area has a strong, diverse, and skilled workforce and is in an economic position to create jobs for the future. I look forward to LiDestri's growth and the addition of new jobs at their expanded Rochester campus."
Monroe County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo said, "For decades, LiDestri Foods has been manufacturing quality food products right here in Monroe County that can be found in many of our kitchen cupboards. Monroe County is thrilled to be a supportive partner as Lidestri expands into this new partnership and creates more jobs. I would like to thank LiDestri for their continued commitment to expanding their business here and providing hundreds of jobs for local residents."
Matt Hurlbutt, president and CEO, Greater Rochester Enterprise said, "LiDestri Foods recognizes the valuable assets available in Rochester, NY to support their rapid business expansion plans, including a skilled workforce and fully integrated food production supply chain. In addition, the affordable utilities and infrastructure available at Eastman Business Park made this the smart choice for their business expansion."
President of Eastman Business Park and Eastman Kodak Company Chief Financial Officer David Bullwinkle said "New occupants at Eastman Business Park continue to contribute to its growth. With almost 110 companies operating in the Park today and impressive momentum for new users, we are working to bring in several more in 2019. Eastman Business Park resources are a great fit for food and beverage processing, biopharma and roll to roll manufacturing."
This project builds on the continuing success of Eastman Business Park in Rochester. Eastman Business Park, the site where Kodak began manufacturing photographic film and paper more than a century ago, has been repurposed to aid with reinvigorating the region. Today, the campus supports almost 110 companies, employing over 6,000 people. Besides LiDestri Food and Drink, businesses such as ON Semiconductor, AIM Photonics, Kodak, DuPont, SiGNa Chemistry, Harris, Carestream, Columbia Care, Ortho Clinical Diagnostics, Love Beets, and Acquest Development are located at Eastman Business Park.
Accelerating Finger Lakes Forward
Today's announcement complements "Finger Lakes Forward," the region's comprehensive blueprint to generate robust economic growth and community development. The state has already invested more than $5.2 billion in the region since 2012 to lay the groundwork for the plan – investing in key industries including photonics, agriculture and food production, and advanced manufacturing. Today, unemployment is down to the lowest levels since before the Great Recession; personal and corporate income taxes are down; and businesses are choosing places like Rochester, Batavia and Canandaigua as a destination to grow and invest in.
Now, the region is accelerating Finger Lakes Forward with a $500 million state investment through the Upstate Revitalization Initiative, announced by Governor Cuomo in December 2015. The State's $500 million investment will incentivize private business to invest well over $2.5 billion – and the region's plan, as submitted, projects up to 8,200 new jobs. More information is available here.

I'm old enough to remember when the Northern line got that bad by the early nineties. The new trains were used as a catalyst for a coordinated campaign of tunnel widening, rail replacement and other infrastructure work. Hopefully the same can be done here because the Pic is fast becoming an embarrassment.
Intriguing.. I well remember the Northern line at its worst - but don't recall any tunnel widening proposed as an integral part of the solution? Where did this happen?
I know Angel got a new platform at some stage but that was presumably done in response to ever growing passenger numbers on a very narrow island platform.
I don't think that new platform tunnel work was really linked to resolving reliability on the Northern which at the time seemed mostly due to track and signalling failures and the 38 stock. Sadly the 38s were becoming so problematic that for years most regular Northern commuters quickly realised that it made sense to push shut any doors which were not co-operating rather than do nothing with the inevitable consequence that everyone was turfed off the train and the unit was withdrawn from service by which time delays to following services usually meant it would be impossible for many of the detrained passengers to board for ages. After that happened several times to me I took to automatically travelling back up the line one stop in order to board a following service before it reached a platform totally stacked with commuters.

What's a bialy, if you don't already know?
I'd like to think of bialy as the ugly sister of bagel, who comes without the shiny crust nor a robust PR campaign, but, in my opinion, ultimately wins hearts and minds through slow and quiet diplomacy. Or at least it should, if only in your kitchen. Think about it. Bialy and bagel practically shares the same dough, which isn't a difficult one if I might add, but that's about as much sameness as bagel's gonna tolerate from her sibling. Not a fault of her own, but bagel, being held to her finicky New Yorker status and all, is somewhat of a… hm what's that word… right, bitch.
You didn't "retard" the dough in the fridge for 2 days, not a bagel. You didn't boil it, not a bagel. Didn't boil it long enough, not a bagel. Boiled in the wrong water, not a bagel. Can't use her crust as a mirror, not a bagel. Too soft, not a bagel. Too hard, not a bagel. Lives in Montreal, definitely not a bagel.
But you see, bialy on the other hand, ah, sweet girl bialy… whether by virtue or as a necessary strategy for unpopularity, is very low maintenance. Without exuding much judgements, she doesn't mind being taken on a speed date, from kneading to baking, all under as short as 4 hours of your time (well, a bit longer if you live somewhere dry and cold, I mean, a lady's gotta keep warm). And surprising to whom care to look beyond the lack of a glamorous shine, her lightly browned exterior is thin but not without character, in fact, delicately crusty if you cherish it warm out of the oven as one should. Then you'll notice that her soft but chewy crumbs remind you so much of a bagel that you wonder if it's really worth pursuing the other. But perhaps the most heart-winning gesture from bialy is that she does, actually, carry something within her heart, a filled crater in the center whereas in a bagel, it's an utterly hollow hole. —- OK.. usually some sort of onions with poppy seeds kind of stuff and let's admit that none of it is very chic and if anybody needs a before/after it's this poor girl —- In this case, I say why not, honey and butter coated sweet dates bedded within softly whipped cream cheese. Right, you may think that's rather odd against that whiff of onion powder being mixed into the dough which gives the bread a hint of savoriness, but no, it's not. That's what's surprising about this bialy, sweet and creamy but not without her savory core, soft to the touch but playfully chewy throughout, a bit of confliction but just the right amount.
Ultimately, the one you've been looking for.
Yield: 5 bialy
Dough recipe adapted from Smitten Kitchen and King Author Flour combined
You know, I try not to make pizzas nowadays.
Off carbs? I wish. Gluten-free? Is there any other diet more torturous by design? How about an oven that shuts down in the middle of nowhere for no reasons whatsoever? OK, yeah I have that. But, no. No, not for any of those things. In fact, the reason is a simple and straightforward one, in fact, one that deals with our most basic instinctual fear which drives, I believe, most human behaviors… the fear of dying alone.
Wait, pizza can do that? Yes, pizza can do that. How? By making me fat.
I apologize before I say this simply because it's gross and stuff, but yesterday somebody, two days in a row, decided to leave a hot steamy pile of poop right in the middle of our "aged" leather sofa… I'm sorry, I told you, it's gross. But more importantly, why? What could possibly be the reason for this deeply punishing act? Hey beats me. Just to fuck with the word motherhood, I guess.
I recognize the weirdness in the usage of such word, motherhood, I get it, so let's talk about it for a sec. Some swear by it. Some avoid it. And some get offended when it's used in this context of, well, dogs. But for the convenience of making a conversation, I struggle to find a better word. Some say, "dog owner" is the more accurate phrase. Hey, I hear ya, but, it's just that… I don't own dogs, just like nobody owns children. They are mine, but not properties. If someday my dogs tell me that they wants to leave the nest to go to Amsterdam and smoke pot for the rest of their lives, hey, fair game, I would just lock them up and take away all their food-money like any discerning parents. Doesn't make me an owner, just makes me a mother. So for the lack of a better word, last month, or 20 days ago to be exact, I became a mother again, for the fifth and sixth time. Yes, twin girls, two rescued Rottweiler-mix puppies.
Rottweilers × 2!? You must be thinking I'm crazy. And I'm starting to think you're right.
How big do Rottweilers get? Please don't tell me because I have no freaking clue. But the the fact that they are growing exponentially against our best wishes, seems to be one. To put it into perspective, our maltese Dumpling was what, 3 kilo? So by optimistic estimation, each of them would grow to be about 12 Dumplings, and together, 24 Dumplings. That's 70 kilos of pure muscles powered by the spirit of a trampoline. We named them Sesame (芝麻), and Sticky Rice Ball (湯圓) or SRB for short, though the petiteness of their names is starting to sound more ironic than cute.
Who's freaking out? I'm just sayin'.
So how did this happen? Couldn't we just try a single Rottweiler on for size and good reason first? Well, the way we see it, we had no choice amidst a very complicated situation.
There was this adoption day thing at our local pet supply store that we simply wanted to "just check it out", and there they were, two puppies inside the same crate. No harm in asking a question is there? So are they boys or girls? "Both girls, sisters!", answered the staff. Hmm, girls, we've been wanting a girl. This one on the right seem to be nice and calm. Can I hold her? "Yes, of course! She's the younger one." Awww look at her just relaxing on my lap! Jason, Jason! Are you seeing this?! Wait, why is the other one acting all nervous and shit? "The sisters are very attached to each other." What is this, woman? You trying to make me feel bad? Fine, Jason, can you just hold the other one so she's doesn't feel left out?
Yup. …………………..
Oh wait you're waiting for more complicatedness to come? No, no, that's it. Yup. The beginning of the end. Put me on your friends-who-got-a-kid-and-gone-missing list. Likewise, I'll resurface the earth in 10+ years.
But on the bright side, the food side that is, giant wall-eating babies are putting me in a whole new perspective. I never understood this "easy home cooking" business. I mean if you like cooking, what's the problem? And if you don't like cooking, why you cooking? Golfers don't complain why is it 18 holes and not 4 holes. But now, ehhh… I sort of get it. The other day I allowed myself to spend a little obsession on homemade ramen, and someone ate my chair. Literally, ate my chair. It's not that I don't enjoy spending time in the kitchen anymore, but the stakes for negligence are higher these days if you know what I mean.
Which brings me to mention – Simple Fare.
Look beyond the soul-sucking-ly beautiful photographs by the hands of Karen Mordechai, there is also the answer to the prayers of all bone-crushingly exhausted parents. Take this elegant rye bread for example, which she calls "half day rye bread", which really turned out to be "quarter day rye bread" in the warmer month that is May. It was a cinch to put together, so much so that I was able to test two loafs at once even with two flying trapeze-artists demolishing my apartment (and Shrimpy) in the background. I'm not an expert in the political correctness of a proper rye bread, but a smear of good room-temperature butter and a thin slice of fennel salami from Tuscany, I melted in a moment of relaxation and satisfaction, a rare one these days no doubt…
So thank you, Karen, but I simply must go because I just stepped into a puddle of pee.
Working mothers, I don't know how you do it.
Those of you who follow our Instagram will know that recently, two toddlers have joined this family. Not just some harmlessly drooling, homo sapien nuggets that crawl inside your neatly confined perimeters sucking on a bottle. But two wall-eating… wood-shredding, (stuffed) animal-hunting, flying and flipping and cirque du soleil-style acrobats that, quite literally, ate and pooped the entire past week away, and then some. Hi Internet, please meet 芝麻 (Sesame), and 湯圓 (Sticky Rice Ball. SRB for short), the two Rottie-mix that we newly adopted over the past weekend.
So long, sleep. Hello, stress.
I have so much to say about them, how we met, how we overcame fear, how we took an oath. But this type of story deserves clarity and mindfulness, both not what my sleep-deprived head of glue can provide as we speak. So I'm just going to leave you today with a Tuscany-inspired country bread, speckled with salty bits of porky fatness. You heard right, a delightful discovery made in a motherly restaurant named Trattoria Dardano, nestled inside a tiny yet historical town named Cortona where we stayed. The conversation we were having without suspicion was upended by my first bite of the unexpected burst of flavors. While my brain was anticipating typical bread, came these pops of deeply savory and unmistakably carnivorous stimulants. WHAT was that!? I investigated immediately, to realized that this seemingly unremarkable bread was relentlessly laced with specks of salty fatty cured pork-bits which, I assumed, not only created these sparks of salivating porkiness, but also spread their gospel aromas into the neighboring bread-tissues when their fat was rendered during baking.
Geniale! I shouted, but in English.
I think you'll agree, too.
Gotta go. Somebody's eating my feet.
WHAT: Beef short ribs in super garlicky tapenade sauce, an adaptation of a classic dimsum item – pork ribs with fermented black beans but with an American/European twist.
WHY: The unexpectedly supple texture of the beef (thanks to baking soda) melting gorgeously into a pool of bold and complex mixture of flavors, a revelation that can be easily prepared ahead of time and cooks in under 8 min.
HOW: For both flavors and accessibility, I have swapped the traditionally used diced pork ribs with the more luscious and rich-tasting beef short ribs, and Chinese fermented black beans with the equally bold and forward black olives. Trust me, if I may say so myself, the reinvented combination works even better than tradition. The surprisingly tender and velvety texture of the beef – achieved by adding just a tiny pinch of baking soda into the marinate – disintegrates in your mouth in a medley of perfectly orchestrated flavours that you didn't even know would go together. Black olives, strawberry jam, soy sauce, sesame oil, Dijon mustard, and a depth created by using both raw and fried garlics. It's easy to put together, and a cinch to cook in a blink of an eye. You'll wonder where it's been your whole life.
Now, simply follow the instructions below on how to throw a hassle-free dim sum party!READ MORE Continue Reading
WHAT: The new poster child of dim sum-scape in Hong Kong, the char siu pineapple buns, pull-apart style!
WHY: Do you need to reason to eat a soft, squishy bun stuffed with sweet char siu pork and topped with crunchy "pineapple" crusts? The entirety of happiness all in one bite, pillowy, crunchy, salty, sweet, gooey, porky and buttery? Do ya?
HOW: Burn all the other recipes that are dumbed down and one-dimensional. Here's a thorough recipe to show you how to make them like a pro, either with fresh pork shoulders (my preference), or with store-bought char siu pork. But what really makes this recipe different is how the delicate balance of flavors are re-imagined. Instead of the typical, cornstarch-thickened sauce that screams boring, we are going to re-create the stickiness by mixing in honey, ground dates and dried strawberries. Not only do they provide a natural gooey-ness, they also bring a hidden fruity tone to the flavor-profile, making these sweet and salty buns unstoppably addictive.
By the way, most of the recipes in DIM SUM MONTH is designed to be prepared ahead of time. Make each items and store them in the freezer, and at the end of the month, we're going to have a dim sum blowout party. See ya!READ MORE Continue Reading
I'm stalling on this post, about our trip to Japan, or more accurately, Osaka, Kyoto and Kurokawa. This happens sometimes, either when the trip itself was too brief, or in this case, even with a sufficient duration to ponder, I find the place… difficult to compute. Truth is, I've always had mixed feelings about Japan. Mixed, but not foreign. After all, I'm from Taiwan, hardly a stranger. Since awareness I guess, Japan has been a place with unescapable elements everywhere deep inside its social fabrics that, to me, are both deeply seductive and also repulsive. It's a festival of confusions, to say the least, the reason why Lost in Translation was transcribed here, and perhaps the reason why I hesitated to come for years. I didn't know if I was more afraid to love it, or hate it, and either way, why did that matter? I wasn't sure of the answer either. It's a country where people pay for their dinner through vending machines, but spend hours drinking a cup of tea. The country runs on the most highly efficient and developed system of high-speed rail that few others can compete, but the information kiosk of which, in the Osaka station, is still being organized in old-school filers. It's a country that is famed for its obsession in cleanliness and manners, but one of the few still left in the developed world where I have to endure second-hand smokes in restaurants. A culture that is widely associated with its quiet, distilled form of beauty, that wabi-sabi life, and yet, the major cities within which are wild labyrinths of neon lights and carnivals of giant moving octopuses.
Slow, fast. Quiet, loud. Polite, yet perversive. Allures, and frustrations. Which one is true? Or perhaps all is.
A country that thrives in contradictions.
I didn't know what to make of it. I still don't.
I wanted to, like everyone else, just focus on its beauties, which are nothing but pure pleasures. The yakitori (skewered/grilled chicken) in Wabiya Korekido in Kyoto comes close to an art form. The beef heart sashimi from Maru in Osaka could not have been the revelation that it is anywhere else. The amount of philosophy that goes into making a bowl of ramen cries for admiration. A dip into the tinglingly warm hot spring, the liquid silk that percolates from deep within earth in the stillness that is Kurokawa, it is hard, real hard, not to fall for it all.
But with every enjoyments, comes with a blinding contradiction that seemed to overturn the previous experience. Was my experience authentic rituals, or rehearsed theatrics. Was this a sanctuary, or a theme park? What the world is infatuated about Japanese's deeply philosophical way of life, was that even a real part of their lives, or just advertisements? Or maybe they are two of the same thing, a double-sided mirror.
I'm sure most of you don't know what I'm talking about, a bunch of mumbo-jumbo. I have failed to explain it, and for that I'm going to stop.
Maybe Japan was never something to be understood, but to be pondered upon. Was never a maze, but growth-rings on a black pine trunk.
To get it, I gotta eat more ramen.

It's already a good idea to follow MySaline's Facebook page, because then you know about the stories as soon as they're posted. You also get reminders about events, and sometimes you get to participate in an impromptu survey. But… every once in a while, it REALLY pays off for you to be watching us on Facebook. Thursday morning, we posted that we were giving away two tickets to the Foo Fighters show in Memphis! Yep!
It was a short contest, because the show was the same night, and the winner would need to leave town fast. I gave folks less than 2 hours to get qualified for the contest, then I drew a name via live video on the Facebook page. We got a winner, but then a short time later, she called to say her babysitter fell through. So I went live on Facebook again – what drama!
We got a new winner from the original qualifiers, and boy were they excited, after thinking someone else had won. Alicia Brown and her husband Garrett took off got the tickets and took off to Memphis. Alicia sent pictures of their trip and the show. I'm glad you guys had fun!

PayNearMe, a startup focused on improving consumer cash-payment experiences, has raised $20 million in a new round of funding.
To date, the company has raised roughly $50 million. GSV Capital led the round, with Maveron, True Ventures, Khosla Ventures and August Capital also taking part in the round, Re/code reported on Feb. 6.
In an interview, PayNearMe CEO Danny Shader said that the company was well positioned to reach out to consumers, noting deals with Family Dollar and 7-Eleven put the service right in the hands of potential customers.
"We now think we have the best footprint in the country," Shader remarked. "But it's not places like liquor stores; it's well-lit establishments."
