Say hello to the evil Pad Thai
We arrived BKK at midnight and checked-in at around 1am in Green House, Khaosan. After unpacking our stuff, I invited my friend Sheila to go out for a late dinner. Ian, Lai, and Roi were too tired to go out so they already slept. WHATTALOSE.
Walking along the streets, we saw a Pad Thai stall and decided to try it out. Upon placing our order for one Chicken Pad Thai (BT60), a weird conversation started:
Vendor: Mild or Spicy?
Sheila and I (in gleeful unison): SPICY!
Vendor: Are you sure, spicy?
Sheila and I: Yes!
Chuckling, the vendor proceeded in making our order. I was surprised by how easy she cooked the noodles! In less than 5 minutes, we were served our first ever authentic Thai street food.
Lady, we should've listened to you
We excitedly dug in our Pad Thai (we ate it at the stall) then immediately realized the vendor's point. It was very delicious but gaddemit, IT WAS REALLY REALLY REALLY SPICY. It literally brought us to tears. Lol. The lady vendor laughed at us (in a nice way) as we eat her painfully delicious Pad Thai.
Sheila, meet the evil Pad Thai
Afraid that our tongues will burn out, we went to the nearby 7-Eleven to get drinks. I felt like a kid in a candy store because I found items that not sold in our local convenience stores. They are priced cheap too!
Sausages of different lengths, colors, and girth
Lots of frozen munchies
Yakult, Yogurt, and Flavored Milk DrinksLater that day, we transferred to a new inn at Siam City (Wendy Guest House). MBK Center was just a short-walk from our place so it was our first stop. And sweet bejezuz, MBK is sooooo huge. The place is bustling with people, locals and foreigners alike. You could buy everything here--electronics, clothes, shoes, jewelry, textile, toys, perfumes, etc.
In the morning, we visited Wat Pho, Wat Arun, and the Grand Palace. These temples are close to each other so you could either walk or ride a tuk-tuk. We chose the former because we want to experience the streets of Bangkok. Just like in the Philippines, it's also filled with vendors selling hats, statues, toys, cds (pirated ones, yes!), and other trinkets. Of course, there were an abundance of food.
Fried Sausages and Dumplings sold at BT10-20 each stick
MBK Center
Pickled fruits sold per gram
Oh, I did some "grocery" shopping too!
Thai Beer and Alcoholic Drinks
Our last day in Bangkok began with an early visit to Chatuchak. Good thing our accommodation includes free breakfast so we grabbed a quick bite before proceeding to shopping battle!
Healthy breakfast before the fight!
A quick BTS train ride brought us to Thailand's famous weekend market. I think we were only able to visit 2% of the whole area because it was so hot and the place was jam-packed! We bought bags, clothes, accessories and had some food and drinks along the way! And no, I didn't see/try any fried bugs or cockroaches that this place is famous for.
No bugs here yey
Flavored waffles
I got separated from our group so I had a solo lunch at Pratunam Mall. The whole place was meh, I think it's almost closing down. Since it was unbelievably hot outside, I just stayed inside the mall to look for a place to eat. And then I saw.....*drumroll please* KFC!!!!
Colonel Sanders, I love jooooo!!!
I'm the lone customer
FYI: KFC Bangkok doesn't serve gravy with their chicken. A disappointment. Huge disappointment. But hey, the fried rice was pure love! I wish KFC will also serve it here in the Philippines!
BKK group!
We were able to visit a lot of places during our 2-day stay but I know there's a lot more I need to discover. :) I'm really looking forward to my Bangkok trip next month! My best friends Cha and Nix will join me and we will definitely
Note to self: order MILD Pad Thai next time. =p

Four Ways to Punch Up the Protein for Your Young Athlete
Outside of game or race day, protein is an important nutrient to help kiddos build strong bodies!
All children need protein in their diets to grow and stay healthy. Protein helps children build new tissue, including bones and muscle. For sporty kids, protein also lends a hand in muscle repair after activity (e.g. Kids Obstacle Challenge).1
But there's more to protein than building and repairing muscles. Protein may also have an influence on appetite.2 Research suggests the presence of protein in a meal or a snack can help promote a sense of fullness, which may help with appetite regulation.3
Other researchers emphasize the importance of distributing protein equally throughout the day to help improve protein balance in the body.4,5 According to the science, this helps ensure protein is available to fuel growth and muscle recovery.
Most nutrition experts agree that getting protein from food is the ideal strategy for young, growing athletes. It tastes good and can help keep hunger at bay. Here are five ways to punch up the protein in a young athlete's diet:
- Include a Protein Source at Each Meal
When planning meals, choose a protein source first and then build the meal around it. There are many protein-containing foods to choose from, including chicken, fish, eggs, dairy and plant-based sources like beans, peas, nuts and nut butters.
- Step Up the Snack Quality
Kids often snack on less than nutritious options, and little athletes are no exception. Adding a source of protein to a snack not only improves its nutrition quality, it can help evenly distribute protein throughout the day and keep the momentum of growth and repair in motion. CLIF Kid Zbar® Protein is a delicious and nutritious option that provides a good source of hunger-helping protein from dairy and pea protein to fuel kids' growing bodies and satisfy their rumbling bellies.
- Focus on the Protein Distribution
The timing of protein intake is a key factor to its benefits for the young athlete. It's when the magic happens, like that feeling of fullness after eating (which can mean fewer requests for more snacks!). Offer your kids protein with meals, as well as snacks every few hours (as needed) to optimize growth and development.
- Add Milk or Soymilk to the Routine
Milk and soymilk offer about eight grams of protein per cup and, when added to the food routine, make for an easy protein option. Both offer an additional punch of nutrition in the form of calcium and vitamin D, which are important nutrients for bone growth and maintenance. If your little athlete is allergic to milk or soymilk, try a pea-based milk, which is plant-based and delivers protein and key nutrients.

Anyhow, I guess what I'm really trying to understand is how the spot meter should be used in conjunction with a grey card, if when I get an 18% reading from the card, it's not utilizing all of the available DR I have for an ETTR philosophy.
Interesting too, about using the spot meter for the brightest tones that should retain detail in a RAW workflow.

Cameras in the Classroom: Creepy or Crucial?
April 13, 2019
A few weeks ago, cameras were installed in all the classrooms throughout Somerset Canyons so that administration could monitor classroom activity, and ensure that students and teachers are always in a safe, secure environment. Since the school's inaugural year, cameras were already placed in various locations. However, as safety has become a growing concern, more schools – such as ours – have made efforts to enhance campus security.
A positive aspect of the newly-installed cameras is that classroom activity can be monitored. These security cameras will allow for close watch to be kept on students to ensure that no suspicious activity is going on. They can show if a student is doing anything dangerous or dubious. Teachers can also be watched, thus ensuring that teachers are doing their jobs properly and behaving appropriately.
Do you like the new cameras in the classrooms?
- No. (75%, 3 Votes)
- Yes. (25%, 1 Votes)
- I am not sure. (0%, 0 Votes)
Total Voters: 4
However, it is clear that there less privacy for students and teachers. Many students may feel like they are being constantly watched and cannot function normally. Some people believe that this is an invasion of their privacy and feel like they are always being monitored. Students may feel uncomfortable under this constant surveillance.
In a final analysis, there are several positive and negative effects that cameras in classrooms have on students and teachers. Many feel safer, while others feel invaded. Since it is unlikely that the cameras will be removed, hopefully students will be able to grow accustomed to the cameras without having them negatively impact their day.

MatMaCorp brings genetic testing technology into veterinary clinics
The company's platform is designed to analyze the genetic information carried in nucleic acid molecules such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in animals or ribonucleic acid (RNA) in some pathogens.
Scientific instrument manufacturer, MatMaCorp has developed a system that enables veterinary clinics to conduct inhouse genetic testing for their clients rather than outsourcing to larger high-tech labs.
The company's platform is designed to analyze the genetic information carried in nucleic acid molecules such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in animals or ribonucleic acid (RNA) in some pathogens. This analysis allows the user to identify the genetic character of any living organism, from viruses to human beings. The MatMaCorp system has taken a complex process and simplified it so that non-laboratory personnel and those without technical training can conduct genetic testing inhouse or onsite (such as in a veterinary clinic or on a farm) that is typically done only at high-tech facilities.
Dr. Abraham Oommen, MatMaCorp Founder and CEO, said, "We have taken the mystery out of molecular diagnostics and made it easy and seamless for somebody without any training to use."
MatMaCorp has developed a low-throughput device that can process eight tissue samples at a time for small scale operations at veterinary clinics or farms. MatMaCorp can customize the platform for the client according to the genetic tests required. Beta testing machines are now in place at several locations around the world where users are able to conduct onsite analyses of genes that not only indicate certain characteristics of an animal, but also aid in the detection of genetic traits that may lead to disease in the animals.
The device has diverse applications such as testing for food quality and animal health. The device is already being used to test for the presence of the A2 form of beta-casein, a milk protein produced by dairy cattle that is considered to be better tolerated by people with digestive issues; the device is also used to test for genes in beef cattle that indicate the animals' susceptibility to congestive heart failure.
Dr. Oommen is particularly proud of recent tests that the company has customized for the USDA. A farmer in Kansas had previously contacted the USDA requesting a test for Booroola, a fecundity marker in sheep that indicates which ewes will always produce more than two lambs when bred. Samples are typically sent to New Zealand to get tested, resulting in a long wait time. It took the team at MatMaCorp, however, only five days to develop the biochemical tests and provide it to the scientist who asked for it. The results incidentally matched the output from validating tests run at the facility in New Zealand by 100%. This serves as an example of what Dr. Oommen and his team can do with this technology.
MatMaCorp is now beta-testing in the field for Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS), a viral disease that can quickly wipe out an entire herd of pigs. Normally, farmers must send out blood samples to be tested, and then wait 48 hours for results. However, animals remain at risk for infection during the waiting period. MatMaCorp's device produces a result in as few as two hours, and testing can be done at the farm itself, which is a huge paradigm shift for the industry, according to Dr. Oommen.
The MatMaCorp system may also be of utility in environmental and conservation efforts. Though the company is not yet involved in developing applications for humans, the potential also exists for this technology to be used in biomedical research and clinical diagnostics. The system has already been implemented to detect infectious disease-causing strains of bacteria that could impact not only veterinary medicine but also human health.
This is the second biotech company established by Oommen in Nebraska, who qualified in molecular genetics at the University of Kansas. He previously co-founded GeneSeek in 1998, after having worked for 5-years developing automated DNA sequencing instruments for Lincoln-based scientific device company, LI-COR Biosciences. GeneSeek was later acquired by the global food and animal safety corporation, Neogen, in 2010.
Since then Dr. Oommen has "wanted to build something that people could take into the field, or can use simply in the lab." He founded MatMaCorp (Materials and Machine Corporation) in 2014 in a 1000-square feet space above The Mill in downtown Lincoln. The company employs a team of roughly 30 engineers, scientists, and administrative staff. Plans are underway for a new site that will increase capacity to 20,000 square feet to be used primarily for additional manufacturing and research space.
Funded in part through Invest Nebraska, the majority of MatMaCorp's $9 million in external support has been provided by local private investor, Jim Pillen of Nebraska-based Pillen Family Farms.
"He believed early on in what we are building," acknowledged a grateful Dr. Oommen, "We are a little company in Nebraska – people have been trying to do this for thirty years. We are proud to say we are doing it very well."

Dubai Police Adds to its Collection With a Ford Mustang and BMW M6
So the Dubai Police didn't really have a Bugatti Veyron in its ranks. While we were undoubtedly disappointed about that, it didn't take long for us to move on from it.
But now some more interesting news because the world's most awesome fleet just got even more awesome!
New photos were taken of a pair of additions to the already impressive list of supercars that have been commissioned by the Dubai Police. This time, it's a BMW M6 and a Ford Mustang, two high-powered models that should fit in with the already impressive roster of supercars employed by the law enforcement agency.
At this point, it's becoming more and more like a "what's next?" proposition for these folks.
And for our money, we expect a few more German vehicles added there before the dust settles. Possibly an Audi or a Porsche? Maybe even an SUV, perhaps?
Click past the jump to read about the super police cars the Dubai Police has in its hands
Lamborghini Aventador
The Lamborghini Aventador is the kind of police car that'll make you pee in your pants if you see it in your rear view mirror with its lights flashing. We don't know about you but that's totally unnerving and quite frankly, a little emasculating.
Ferrari FF
Of course, if Lamborghini's gonna be there, Ferrari has to be in the mix either. The Dubai Police picked out the FF as its police car of choice, and we're going out on a limb to say that they didn't get that choice wrong.
Aston Martin One-77
This one caught us by surprise, not because it's an Aston Martin, but because it's a Q-Series One-77 and is one of only seven models in the world. Oh, and it costs north of $2 million too.
Chevrolet Camaro SS
The American representative of the bunch is the Camaro SS. It doesn't have the esteem of its European counterparts, but it does paint a sweet picture seeing a Camaro SS dressed up in Dubai Police colors. Our only question is: does it turn into a robot?
Other Cars
If you thought that the Dubai Police would limit themselves to just these cars, you got another thing coming. Those guys also have a Bentley Continental GT and Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG in that police fleet.

SINGAPORE - In time to come, students could take more examinations on digital devices instead of writing essays by hand, said Education Minister Ong Ye Kung.
The Ministry of Education (MOE) has received positive feedback from students about its introduction of computer-based writing examinations as a pilot in a few subjects, such as mother tongue and literature, Mr Ong said in Parliament on Monday (Feb 11).
"Students can more readily cut and paste, edit their essays, move paragraphs around. They can be asked to respond to an e-mail, write a blog or social media post, which better reflects real life situations that students will go through later in life," he said.
But such electronic exams are still some distance away, he added. "We need to take into account the readiness of schools and students... We should not inadvertently disadvantage students who may not be exposed to computers as much as others."
Mr Ong was responding to five MPs who had asked if the MOE had plans to introduce electronic exams or marking, and if it was possible for all GCE examination papers to be marked locally to minimise the risk of scripts being lost in transit.
Last month, it was disclosed that 32 O-level Additional Mathematics Paper 2 scripts were lost on a train in Britain. In 2017, a parcel containing A-level Chemistry answer scripts from 238 Singapore students was stolen from a locked courier van en route to an examiner in Britain.
Mr Ong said that while MOE and the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB) decide on the standards and grades for national examinations, Cambridge Assessment is engaged to develop and mark GCE N/O/A-level examinations because of its strong global expertise and experience.
"This arrangement has worked well over the years," he said, adding that Cambridge Assessment uses about 2,200 professors and experienced educators from universities and higher institutions to mark the scripts.
Each year, about 1.1 million answer scripts are generated from the GCE examinations, with 800,000 of them marked by Cambridge Assessment. The rest - comprising mother tongue language, social studies and coursework components - are marked locally.
Mr Ong noted that marking all the scripts locally would require "a very substantial amount of highly qualified resources".
"We need to be mindful too about the workload and well-being of our teachers," he said, as marking would take place during the school vacation period, and there is a tight timeline between the exams and the release of results.
Nominated MP Walter Theseira asked if the MOE could study the cost of arranging for marking to be done locally.
"There should be no question internationally about the credibility of our examination system if it were to be done all locally. Singapore has established a good reputation in that regard, and I'm confident that if it were to be done locally, there should be no issue with our students and our credentials," he said.
Replying, Mr Ong said that by the end of this year, marking for all GCE examinations would be shifted online, so there should be less concern about losing scripts.
He said that SEAB and Cambridge Assessment has been working closely to mark hard-copy answer scripts electronically since 2015.
"The deeper question is (about) this collaboration with Cambridge Assessment. I fully agree with the Member that (in terms of) Singapore's reputation in education... we are at a good position to do this ourselves, and harness the resources, to mark the papers, set the questions," he said.
"But I think we are where we are too because of a certain earnestness to learn from different systems around the world and to work with different credible reputable systems around the world.
"Cambridge helped us, raised us to this level of international reputation, so it's a collaboration that is still worthwhile keeping while mitigating the risk of lost scripts."

My shredder construction log
This topic contains 41 replies, has 25 voices, and was last updated by Simon Morrison 9 months ago.
Just thought I would make a thread of my shredder construction.
After a weekend of fiddling, I managed to get the machine to an assembled state (please ignore the welding quality, I have just started to teach myself how to weld).
I will be spending this week/weekend tuning it so that it rotates smoothly.
Ok, post 2 of my shredder.
I had been inspired by another post that mentioned hooking the shredder up to a bicycle, and I thought that this would be a good start as a proof of concept. So I purchased an exercise bike for $10 from the local tip shop, a steel frame that someone was selling at a garage sale, and after much modification, I have put together the following shredder.
I managed to get it to operational stage this afternoon, and though it does successfully shred, I find it very difficult to get a constant peddle action going. As soon as I drop plastic in, the resistance makes it too hard to pedal. I suspect/hope that it is just a case of getting the gear ratios correct, and I am wondering if there is any engineer who can help me with this because I can't get my head around it.
As you can see in the photo, the cranks have one large gear. The Shredder has one small gear. The middle axle however has a rack of five gears on it.
Currently I have the following setup:
Crank to Large gear on axle & small gear on axle to shredder.
Is there a better settup that will give me more power? Any engineers/bike gurus who can give me some advice on this?
With that set up you have the about the best gear ratio possible, but really it needs to be much higher. If you could swap the sprocket on the shredder shaft and the chain ring on the bicycle crank it would give you much more mechanical advantage, but would involve a bit of engineering. Your best option with least work is probably to get a mountain bike crank with 3 chain rings, run from the smallest chain ring on the crank to the large sprocket on the cassette, Put as large a sprocket on the shredder as you can (maybe the large chain ring from the crank) and then run to that from the smallest sprocket on the cassette. If you can get 4-5 turns of the pedals to one turn of the shredder that should be enough, but the more the better!
Also if you remove the freewheel from the cassette (or mount it with the original spindle) you can pedal backwards to clear jams and set the pedals in the optimum position to apply torque.
Thanks for sharing your updates here! I missed the original topic but are following it now on. Your welds look great, don't worry about that
Nice to see you tried the bicycle, we did a few tryouts with that as well and experienced similar problems. One thing that really helped us was to add a flying wheel. Something that stores the power. We made a heavy one out of concrete on the shredder axle. Made a big difference for us!
Good luck and keep us posted 🙂
@davehakkens where did you let the shredder-parts cut for ~120Euro? can You give me a contact-email?
I`m mailing since weeks to businesses around berlin, but can´t find any effordble cutter…
i´d rather pay more postage and let it cut in the netherlands….
Hey Simon!
The bike looks good!
Thanks for sharing.
@goerl we used 24/7 tailorsteel the more you want and the more time you have the cheaper it gets. goood luck!
I just found these websites:
See the attached picture: It's a coffee bean depulper. They also seem to use a flying wheel, no?
Hello Simon,
Have you managed to improve your system? Have you tried a flying wheel as Dave advised you?
Keep us informed!
@simonm I've added this to the notable builds section on the wiki. Nice work!
Thanks @robksawyer!
@saluc42, I am hoping to post an update video this weekend. In the photo that I posted, the bike was in an extremely rough state (I am not exaggerating when I say that parts of it were being held in place with tape). I have made a couple of changes thanks to the feedback I have received which has had a positive impact on the machine, positive enough that I will be spending the time removing the tape and making it sturdy. Once that is done I would like to create a video for peoples reference and comment.
I will note that I can't promise that I will get it completed this weekend. I live in a part of Australia that has been experiencing some significant "rain events" over the last couple of weeks (with over 300mm falling over a 24 hour period a couple of weeks ago). We have a chance of another event this weekend and if there is a lot of rain my working area becomes a bit of a river.
Hi all,
It took a while, but I finally managed to get a video of the bike in action. Sorry for the quality, there is only so much you can do with a mobile phone.
Anyway, here is a link to the bike in action….
Brilliant work
could you just use a weight plate from a gym as a fly wheel?
How about using more but thinner shredder blades?? If you're only going to shred those milk bottles, it would make it easier to cut through them…
Is there another central thread for "Bike Powered Shredder Development" or is this the best place? I plan on using a bike to keep initial and future cost down. If anyone has any pointers that'd be great.
@snowpoff I believe this is the best place to start, not many people has tried this shredder approach in the forum
Hello everyone,
Where I can download the blueprints from?
Thank you.
Hi @simonm
First of all, congratulation on your wonderfull build!
I wanted to know how you attached the gear to the shredder's rod?
Mine is plain milled and I can't figure out how to install a gear!
Thank you!
literally just had the same idea after seeing a spin bike at the gym… (using a heavy flywheel) I think it'd really smooth out the shredding action – does it also add torque?
@simonm, really like your construction!
Is the video your final version or did you continue working on it and managed to improve it?
Hi @jacobroy-quebec, sorry for not replying earlier.
I will send you a photo of how the gear is attached to the shredder tonight when I get home from work.
Hi @katharinaelleke, no, I have not really improved on the design. The whole idea of this design was to provide a cheap shredder while I get the whole thing up and running. I am trying to build up the courage to do the injection mold next. Once I have that going and I am making items, I will see how they are accepted. If I am able to get some interested (and associated income) then I will be replacing the pedal-power with an electric motor.
we also built a pedal powered shredder very recently.
as is the video /construction from simonm, it is not very easy to get through the plastic with just pedal power. it cloggs sometimes. as the frame+shredder box and the bike are two separate items, conncetd with the chain only, everything moves, when something gets stuck. our gear ratio is about 1, so it might not be optimal also.
the fly wheel could be a possibilty.
Any suggestions/ideasa for us?
we are placed in Berlin.
sincerely yours, lisa
Any up dates on this really interested in the bike shredder @lisali
Did ya build your injector @simonm?
Has anyone tried a "treadle" configuration like was used on an old stone grinding wheel? Once you get the stone in motion, keeping it going requires pumping the pedal, but could allow a configuration where the shredder operator is also powering it. (Something similar to a "Stairmaster" would seem like it could also work, but the mechanism for driving it with two independent chains is a bit more complex.)
That will depend on the thickness of your blades, primarily, relative to the scree/sieve you have installed. If the blades are taking big "bites" that don't pass through the screen on the first try, they'll come around and get run through again. It seems as though a big difference between the screen and the blades runs the risk that you spend a lot of time churning half-chewed bits of plastic until they happen to hit the blades right and fall through.

17 Apr Environmental assessment and duplication: "Don't we have a photocopier?"
There is significant rhetoric around how the federal and provincial governments have duplicative and therefore inefficient environmental assessment processes. The federal government has fully bought in on it and has indicated its intent to remove itself from many environmental assessments.
I for one find the duplication argument, while having some truth to it, to be quite misleading as to the underlying concerns with federal environmental assessments. Rather than being truly frustrated with duplication I see proponents simply frustrated with the scope and rigour with which federal environmental assessments are conducted. It seems to me that the federal system has, on occasion, more review and analysis of proponent environmental impact assessment than the provincial processes. Admittedly this is anecdotal opinion on my part, garnered through exposure to both federal environmental assessment (comprehensive studies and joint panel reviews) and the Alberta assessment approach.
The rigour of review and analysis is one concern; the scope of potential federal reviews is the other. Countless activities can proceed in Alberta with impacts on fisheries habitat without triggering an environmental assessment. These same activities have the potential to trigger a federal environmental assessment through operation of section 35(2) of the Fisheries Act. Recent media about a leaked draft of the Fisheries Act suggests the federal government may minimize the relevance of habitat, and appears to coincide with broader lobbying efforts to get the federal government to minimize its role around environmental management (i.e., assessment and protection).
When one goes on to consider the mandates of various provincial and federal departments and the provisions they enforce, the issue of minimizing environmental assessment on the basis of duplication argument becomes increasingly worrying. Alberta doesn't have substantive habitat protection provisions like those found in the Fisheries Act. If the federal role is minimized in environmental assessment, what type of provincial mandate will adequately replace the Department of Fisheries and Oceans mandate.
Further, coinciding with the federal move to step back from environmental assessment, there are questions about whether federal enforcement will be pulled back. While provincial provisions relating to the disturbance of public land that results in harm to the bed and shore of a water body could stand as an inadequate proxy for the habitat provisions of the Fisheries Act, concerns remain as Alberta rarely if ever prosecutes offenders of these provisions. In contrast, the Fisheries Act has (historically) seen more proactive enforcement (and is more favourable towards private prosecutions).
So, does the rhetoric about duplication between federal and provincial environmental assessments justify removal of federal oversight? Not nearly; rather, the duplication argument is being used as a red herring for more fundamental reasons to avoid federal involvement in environmental assessment processes and environmental management more broadly, i.e., getting rid of the broad scope of assessments and rigourous reviews conducted by the federal government. As for an activity's environmental impact on federal constitutional matters, it seems they don't account for much.
If environmental assessments, processes and mandates are truly that duplicative, then simply walk down to the photo copy room and change the address on the covering letter.Share this:

UPDATE II: Here are "two [other] hypothetical (and deliberately exaggerated) scenarios on how [and why] Mr. Perry's decision came about:
Hypothetical Scenario A: Although most of Mr. Perry's strategists were urging him to drop out of the race, he prayed on the decision, talked it over with his wife, and decided to ignore their advice. There was a strong emotional element to the decision: Mr. Perry felt embarrassed by his performance in Iowa and wanted the opportunity to redeem himself and go out on a better note.
Hypothetical Scenario B: Mr. Perry was prepared to drop out of the race, but his advisers saw a credible path to victory and urged otherwise. Moreover, he received a string of phone calls, text messages and e-mails from major donors, Republican elected officials and conservative activists who expressed their support and told him that he should press on. These party elites were concerned that Mr. Romney was going to waltz to the nomination, and they were either poorly disposed toward Rick Santorum or convinced that Mr. Santorum lacked the resources to seriously challenge Mr. Romney."
Read The New York Times, Perry, Perry, Quite Contrary.
UPDATE: Although Obamney may be the inevitable nominee, he must still vanquish the ironic post-Iowa anti-establishment alliance of Gingrich-Santorum. Read the Washington Post, Romney's not-a-mandate.
And the Republi-con civil war continues.
In 2008, Romney was generally disliked by the other candidates and not the favored nominee of the Republican establishment.
You may remember that "after his victory in Iowa, Mike Huckabee handed to McCain, who was waiting in New Hampshire, the responsibility of blocking Romney's path to the Republican nomination." Read the Washington Post, Romney and McCain bury the past.
So after spending about $364 per vote, compared to Santorum, who spent about 73 cents per vote, who is the GOP establishment's fixer/spoiler this year? Read the Washington Post, Rick Perry: 'Here we come, South Carolina!'

Singapore is not only famous for its Singapore Sling, but also for its Singapore slang, better known as Singlish.
During your visit of Singapore it is important to have a few notions of Singlish which will help you to make the most of your trip and discover the rich cultural influences that makes Singapore so unique. The eOasia team has been travelling for the last three years in the area. Some of us already master the art of this Singapore language, and we would like to share with you what we have learnt from the locals so far.
Historical background
Singapore has four official languages : English, Tamil, Malay, and Chinese. Singlish language was born as an unique blend from these four languages, and also by the direct translation from Chinese to English.
Although Singlish is not encouraged by the government, which favours English, Singlish is widely used in Singaporean communities and can be useful if you want to understand a bit more about this fascinating Singaporean culture.
Ordering food at the food court
When you visit Singapore, going to food courts are a must as you will be able to taste some of the most amazing local food there. This is also a true local experience where locals use the Singapore language or Singlish a lot!
- "Makan" comes from the Malay language meaning "eat". This Singlish term is officially part of their vocabulary, and you won't be surprised to hear "let's go makan" often!
- If you can not finish your food, ask them to take it away or "Ta pau", a phrase which comes from the Cantonese meaning "to take away". Just say these two magic words and the friendly people at the food court will pack the food for you.
- Lastly, you will get used to seeing Singaporeans "chop a table" while ordering by leaving a bag or a packet of tissue on their table; this is a common way to reserve a table.
Coffee and Tea
This Singlish dictionary will be very helpful when ordering coffee in local stalls, with Kopitiams (Coffee shops) very present all over the city. We have always been confused at the beginning between Kopi O, Kopi C, etc.. so here is how it goes:
- Kopi O: black coffee (without milk)
- Kopi C: coffee with condensed milk
- Kopi siu dai : Coffee with less sugar
- Kopi – kosong : Simple black coffee with nothing added in it.
- Kopi-pao : Coffee to take away
- The same goes for the tea.
Take a taxi
Taking taxi is easy, relatively cheap and convenient when you visit Singapore. This is also the place where you will have the best opportunities to improve your Singlish.
- Even though this is can be a taboo topic, it is also popular for taxi drivers to talk about "Gahmen", shorten form of the english word "government".
- Another useful word if you see the driver is taking his time, ask him to "Chiong" or "faster lah", this is a simple way of saying "hurry up".
- Another way of saying "hurry up" is "Chop chop", commonly used in the Singapore language of every day.
Don't forget to bring in your Singlish dictionary for your taxi rides in Singapore!
The most used/heard
These are the few words you will often hear during your visit of Singapore :
- "Cannot make" it: A phrase to describe something that is of below standards. Eg: "This fish is so undercooked, cannot make it, lah!"
- "Lah": Normally used at the end of a sentence to express agreement or negation. This word is rather difficult to use correctly, but of course, all you need is to practice lah!
- "Ok lah, Ok lo – Can lah" : This is the way to approve using the Singapore slang.
- "Last time", Last time I was at school" which actually means "Before I was going to school".
- "Oredy – already" – You will often hear "done oredy", which means I've already done it.
- Or "Have you eaten oredy?", which can also be a way of saying "how are you?", being sometimes the first thing a Singaporean will say when meeting you, I concluded this only after living a few months in Singapore!
- "Thank you ahh", Singaporeans also have a hobbit of adding "ahh" after thank you or some other words. Eg: "can do that ahh", "like that ahh".
- "Can mah? – Can me?" – In the Singapore language, locals like to use "Me or Mah" to punctuate their questions.
- "Like dat, also can?" meaning "Is it possible that way too?"
To describe people
The most common phrase you might hear during your visit of Singapore as a Caucasian is "Ang moh". This is actually a Hokkien term which literally means "red hair" and this is a colloquial term used to describe Caucasians, so don't be surprised!
- "Yaya Papaya": an arrogant person. Eg: "This person is so yaya papaya!"
- "Chipo nene" : a person who's scared to spend money. Eg "Don't be so Chipo nene lah"
- "Zabor" is the hokkien word to describe a woman
- "Chio Bu" is the Hokkien equivalent of a pretty girl.
- "Kayu": Malay for "wood". Used to describe a person as useless. The most common use is during soccer matches, where fans would refer to bad referees as "referee kayu".
- "Kantang", which literally means "Potato" in Malay is a term to mock Singaporeans who became westernised, speaking more english than their mother tongue. The potato is seen as the western food, whereas the rice as the local food.
- "Auntie/Uncle" is a respectful way to speak to an older man / woman, widely used to talk to taxi drivers.
- "Kaypo" is used to describe a noisy person. Eg: "You ask me so many times already, don't be so kaypo lah!"
Some other useful and common expressions
- "Aiyo" : used as a response to describe surprised moments, from things as trivial as a papercut to seriously bad news. Eg: "Aiyo! I just cut my finger!" You will also hear people complaining, using "Aiyo!".
- "Kia su" literally means "scared of losing" in Hokkien. This phrase can be used for any situations involving the slightest form of competition. Eg: "She is so kiasu, she stayed overnight to work!" This phrase also influenced by the Chinese culture which is usually very hard working and highly competitive.
- "Bue tahan": Literally means cannot bear something. Eg: "The weather in Singapore so hot, I bue tahan!"
- "Cheem" which means difficult, confusing, complex is also commonly used, this will become part of your vocabulary if you often hang out with Singaporeans. Eg : "The exam was so cheem lah! Confirm fail one"
- "Jia lat" is also a frequently used expression among Singaporeans and means wasted energy, or "in trouble". Eg: You jia lat lor, still haven't done your work!"
Exclamation and Expressions
- "Wah" this is used by Singaporeans when they are surprised, Eg "Wah just like that ah"
- "Walao!" it can seem a bit vulgar and this is very common, it is used to express exasperation, frustration, or irritation.
- "Shiok" to describe something as extremely pleasant or good. Eg: "This curry is so delicious, shiok!"
- "Siao!" which means crazy can be used as " .. Siao"
- "Steady!" means awesome, capable, smart, and very commonly used in the Singapore language. Eg: "That guy steady one! just joined the company last year and already promoted!"
Some other local terms to get an insight on the Singaporean culture
- 5C : Car, Cash, Credit Card, Condominium, Country Club membership. This is an expression to define material success of people living in Singapore. This is also referred as the Singaporean dream in the pursuit of material success.
- MC : MC which stands from Medical Certificate, is commonly used for Medical leaves. Usually, Singaporeans are allowed to 14 days of MC per year and are very hard workers!
- 4D is the national lottery in Singapore, locals love it and play regularly.

Hawaii Lays Off Its Students
Hawaii in an attempt to save money in this downturned economy and dramatic falloff of tourism, closed schools on 17 Fridays. This was done without a regard to working parents. Parents had to use vacation or sick days. Some enlisted the help of grandparents. Many paid $25 to $50 per child each week for the new child care programs that had sprung up.
Children, meanwhile, had to adjust to a new meaning of T.G.I.F. Getting them up for school on Mondays grew harder. Fridays were filled with trips to pools and beaches, hours of television and Wii, long stretches alone for older children.
Four-day weeks have been used by a small number of rural school districts in the United States, especially since the oil shortage of the 1970s. During the current downturn, their ranks have swelled to more than 120 districts. But Hawaii is an extreme case. It shut schools not only in rural areas but also in high-rise neighborhoods in Honolulu. The state owes billions of dollars to a pension system that has only 68.8 percent of the money it needs to cover its promises to state workers, Hawaii instituted the furloughs even after getting $110 million in stimulus money for schools.
Unlike most districts with four-day weeks, Hawaii did not lengthen the hours of its remaining school days: its 163-day school year was the shortest in the nation.
The furloughs were originally supposed to last two years, but the outcry was so great — that a deal was hammered out to restore the days next year.
America is sacrificing its future by sacrificing its children.

Your passport to the investment world: HSBC Multi Asset Funds...
Our investment objective in HSBC Multi Asset Funds is to generate capital growth in the long term through investing in a wide array of financial assets also including foreign assets. To attain this long term goal, we implement our investment processes based on pre-determined rules, with impeccable discipline. Our investment processes allow us to exploit short term market opportunities as well. Each of our Multi Asset Funds designed to suit the needs of clients at various levels of the risk continuum is managed on the basis of a designated risk budget.
1. Strategic Asset Allocation: This is the stage whereby portfolios comprising asset classes from diverse geographies and currencies are devised, with a view to realising our long term goals. The resulting asset distribution is reviewed on a quarterly basis to make sure that the funds remain consistent with their long term risk-return profile.
2. Tactical Asset Allocation: In this phase, long term Strategic Asset Allocation is revised so as to reflect our short term market views. Market opportunities that are more short term in nature are exploited in this phase. Tactical allocation in HSBC Multi Asset Funds is reviewed at least once a month under normal market conditions. However, in the event of extraordinary circumstances such as economic or political crises, more frequent reviews may be warranted.
3. Execution: In this stage, the most convenient method to attain the desired asset allocation is assessed. In HSBC Multi Asset Funds, we invest directly in Turkish Lira denominated assets. On the other hand, while investing in foreign assets, we opt for passively managed and comparatively lower cost instruments, such as ETFs and Index Funds. During the selection of ETFs and other funds, criteria such as cost and issuer quality are taken into consideration.
We are still in the process of system transition to provide you our banking services more effectively. Thank you for your understanding.

The Festival of British Eventing, presented by the British Equestrian Trade Association (BETA), at Gatcombe Park, the home of HRH The Princess Royal, has attracted a record entry of more than 100 horses from 10 nations.
New Zealand has a good record at Gatcombe, and the field includes Olympic riders Andrew Nicholson, with Spanish full-brothers Armada and Nereo; Mark Toddand Gandalf; Caroline Powell with Lenamore, and Joe Meyer and Ariki.
The field also includes four French riders, headed by Pascal Leroy with two horses and former World Champion Jean Teulere, for whom it is a first opportunity to qualify for the HSBC FEI World Cup Eventing Final at Strzegom, Poland, later this month.
The competition will also decide the national eventing title, an accolade which Mary King and William Fox-Pitthave won a record five times apiece.
King will ride Imperial Cavalier, third at Tattersalls, Ireland, and her team horse at the HSBC FEI European Eventing Championship in September, plus her home-bred mare Kings Temptress and Apache Sauce.
Fox-Pitt has Macchiato, fifth at the Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials, and Navigator, while their team mate Kristina Cook will be trying to take the title for the first time on her Olympic bronze medalist Miners Frolic.
The Irish will use the festival as a final trial for Fontainebleau; they have eight riders entered, including Patricia and Michael Ryan, who scored such a memorable family one-two at Tattersalls.
Australia, too, is well-represented, with defending HSBC FEI World Cup Eventing Champion Clayton Fredericks on Ben Along Time and Poilu and his wife Lucinda with her Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event winner Headley Britannia.
The Festival of British Eventing was added to the HSBC FEI World Cup Eventing calendar after the cancellation of Chatsworth, and will run in its traditional format climaxing with the reverse-order Cross-Country phase around Captain Mark Phillips's spectacular course up and down the Gatcombe valley.
• Bruce Davidson, a famous winner at Gatcombe Park back in the 1980s on the great JJ Babu, competes the other side of the Pond this weekend, in the HSBC FEI World Cup Eventing qualifier at Mansfield, Ontario.
He rides his lovely grey mare Jam plus the Irish-bred Cruise Lion, 19th at the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event in April, while his son Buck has the much-admired My Boy Bobby, third there, plus In The Beat.
The 33 entries for the event at Wits End Farm, an enterprise started in 2002 by Jo Young and Bill McKeen, also include dual Olympic gold medallist Phillip Dutton with Tru Luck and Woodburn, 12th at Kentucky.

Auckland, June 21, 2018
It is now safe to say that the brief market resurgence that began in October last year is over.
House sales fell 0.7% in May, and the time it takes to sell a house lengthened.
In Auckland, house prices have fallen 2% since February, and are now back to the same level as they were in August 2016.
In much of the rest of New Zealand, the pace of house price inflation continues to slow, although it is still above zero.
Bright Line Test
We have not been surprised to see the market slow – Home Truths predicted this would happen after the "Bright Line Test" for taxing capital gains on resold properties was extended from two years to five. The next hurdle for the market will be the foreign buyer ban, which is set to become law in July.
We like to use Toronto as an example – after they introduced a 15% stamp duty on foreign buyers, house prices promptly fell 6%.
The data on foreign buyers released by Stats NZ was interesting on two fronts.
Rising foreign buyers
It showed that the percentage of foreign buyers had risen from 2.3% to 3.3% since last year's election. This supports the idea that a rush to beat the foreign buyer ban contributed to the housing market resurgence from October last year. The obvious corollary is that there will be a hangover once the foreign buyer ban comes into force.
The second area of interest was the regional location of the foreign buyers – they are much more prevalent in Auckland and Queenstown, so presumably the foreign buyer ban will be felt most acutely in those locations.
Tax and house prices
The Tax Working Group, headed by Sir Michael Cullen, is currently investigating various possible tax changes that could affect the housing market.
The Westpac Economics Team this week released research estimating how tax change would impact house prices. In New Zealand, property investment is tax advantaged relative to other forms of investment, because capital gains are tax free for long term investors.
Treasury and the IRD estimate that property investors pay 29.4% of their after-inflation returns in tax, whereas bank depositors and owners of dividend paying shares pay 55.7%.
Property investors also have a tax advantage over first homebuyers, because property investors receive tax deductions for mortgage interest and other expenses while first homebuyers do not.
These tax advantages have been factored into the price of property, resulting in higher house prices than otherwise. If the tax advantages were altered, the price of property would change.
Capital Gains Tax
We estimated that a 10% Capital Gains Tax (CGT), applied to all property other than the family home, would reduce house prices by 11% relative to the counterfactual.
That could take the form of a sudden drop in prices, or a period of stagnation while the fundamentals catch up – the analysis didn't tell us which.
There would be fewer willing landlords, which could cause rents to rise. Higher rents and lower house prices would change the realities of renting versus buying, leading to a higher rate of home ownership.
We found that a 0.5% property tax (similar to rates), or a 1% land tax would have a similar effect – roughly a 10% drop in house prices, higher rents, and a higher rate of home ownership. A land tax would affect houses on big sections more than apartments, and would affect Auckland more than other regions.
Adopting a deemed rate of return approach to taxing property would have a larger impact on house prices. Under this approach, landlords would pay no tax on rental income, and would receive no tax deduction for expenses.
Instead, landlords would pay income tax on a fixed percentage (say, 5%) of the equity in a property. We estimate that this would reduce house prices by almost 20%. Ringfencing losses on rental properties is likely to be introduced, or phased in, next year.
Landlords will no longer be able to use losses on rental properties to offset other taxable income. Instead, they will receive tax credits that can only be used to offset future tax on their property portfolio.
We estimate that this will reduce property prices by somewhere between 0% and 6%.
Finally, we pointed out that house prices are sensitive to income tax rates. The size of the tax advantage of investing in property depends on the gap between the rates of capital gains tax and income tax. That gap can be closed in two ways – by reducing the rate of income tax, or by increasing the rate of capital gains tax. Reducing the top rate of income tax from 33% to 30% would reduce house prices by 2.8%.

Willow Beach Campground - COE
The reasons we almost always love Corp of Engineer campgrounds are evident at this campground – roomy sites, good spacing between the sites, scenic surroundings, and reasonable prices. Many of the COE campgrounds, like this one, even have electric hookups.
None of the sites are designated as accessible but most can be used. The main problem is the picnic tables which are concrete with a short overhang and set on a concrete pad that isn't large enough accommodate a wheelchair so unless the pad is flush to the ground the table can not be used.
Some of the sites are large enough for any RV. Campground 34.70494, -92.13613

Lavender Oil Uses
Sleep Support: A drop or two, applied directly to your pillow or onto a tissue placed inside your pillowcase. Use at night to support natural sleep.
Stress Management: A drop or two, applied directly to the temples or back of the neck. Use to support a calm and peaceful state of mind.
Healthy Living: A drop or two, added to your fully run bath water. Use to support a balanced and healthy lifestyle. .
Aroma Therapy: A drop or two, in your essential oil room diffuser or burner, or simply in a bowl of boiling water. Use to create a pleasant and relaxing aromatic environment.
Baby Care: Newborn baby 1 drop, 2 to 12 month old 3 drops in 1 fl oz sweet almond oil. Massage baby's body avoiding eyes, mouth and genitals. Add a drop to a dessert spoonful of milk and mix with bath water. Use to support natural sleep & a calm and peaceful state of mind.
Caution: NZLavender pure lavender essential oil
CAUTION: External use only. Do not apply undiluted to skin without guidance. Avoid eyes and mucous membranes. If swallowed seek urgent medical attention. * If skin irritation or sensitivity develops, stop use, and if condition persists seek medical attention. Discuss use with a health care practitioner before use during pregnancy or while nursing. Keep out of reach of children.
- Skin irritation or sensitivity: We are all aware that a very small percentage of the population are allergenic to peanuts, in a similar way a very small percentage of the population are allergic or sensitive to lavender oil. The European Union has identified 26 contact allergens (components with the potential to cause an allergic skin reaction), which are presently used in the cosmetic industry and are required to have their presence recorded on certain labelling. Three of these are natural ingredients found in lavender essential oil; Linalool, Limonene and Geraniol and are the cause of the skin sensitivity, which occurs in susceptible individuals. Although NZLavender pure lavender essential oil is particularly low in these three allergens when compared with other lavender essential oils, it still has the potential to cause a skin irritation or sensitivity in a susceptible individual. If a skin irritation or sensitivity does develop, please stop use and if condition persists seek medical attention.
Low allergen content: The unique NZLavender Lavandula angustifolia cultivar consistently produces oil with low levels of Linalool (between 11 – 17%) compared with other lavender oils from around the world (typically 20 - 45%). In addition to having the lowest Linalool content of any natural lavender oil, our oil has been carefully distilled and stored at optimum conditions to minimise the oxidisation of Linalool into its more allergenic peroxides (stored at 4°C under argon gas). NZLavender oil is also low in the other listed EU contact allergen Limonene and does not contain any Geraniol .
