What is the Miracle Crop that feeds the World?14 Nov, 2021
Did you know that more than half of the world’s population take rice as their staple food? This makes rice not only a miracle crop, but also one of the most important foods on the earth! There are many different cultivars of rice that varies in grain length, flavor, texture, and all of them can be made into different dishes, snacks and even desserts.
A grain of rice may be small, but it is one of the most widely consumed and important foods in the world. Different types of rice are grown across all the continents from Asia to Africa; these grains contain many vitamins, minerals, and carbohydrates every human body needs. Rice provides more than 20% of the calories consumed worldwide, nourishing, and shaping people’s lives in different cultures.
According to market research by IndustryARC , the consumer market for rice and rice-based products will increase steadily with a 2.9% compounded growth and is estimated to reach 313 billion U.S. Dollars by 2025. For frozen rice meal products, 360researchreports predicts the market will grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 8.76% reaching 1.5 billion U.S. Dollars in 2025.The history of rice cultivation is very ancient in time. Rice cultivars may vary in grain length, flavors, textures, and taste depending on their genetics, this contributes to fascinating and diverse rice dishes and rice cuisines all over the world.
Soul comforting food for the world
Husks are usually removed from the rice grains before being boiled or steamed; it's not only a staple but a very versatile ingredient for cooking. In the Middle East, rice is often prepared with spices, nuts and served with meats. In other countries such as Turkey or Greece, grape leaves can be filled with rice to make yaprak sarmasi or dolmas. There are many rich and flavorful rice dishes in Southern European regions as well, such as the Italian risotto and Spanish paella. In contrast, rice is almost always cooked and consumed with beans in regions such as the Caribbean and Latin America. In certain parts of Africa, rice is often used in dishes made with seafood, tomato sauces, or coconut milk. The diverse uses of rice in the preparation of culinary dishes makes it one of the most satisfying foods on earth!
In Asia, rice is often served with vegetables and meat dishes, or cooked into Japanese style Takikomigohan (炊き込みご飯）, Donburi, and mixed rice bowls. Sushi is the ultimate way to consume rice in Japan; rice is topped with high-quality sashimi [raw fish] and made into Nigiri. To accommodate the tastes of people in the United States sushi is often made with local ingredients such as avocado, cream cheese, and imitation crab instead of raw fish thus creating the invention of the “California Roll”.
Fried rice is another traditional way of enjoying rice known as "Nasi Goreng" in Southeast Asia. Fried rice is quite flavorful and can be made quickly making it a favorite all over the world.

Rice snacks and desserts
Many savory snacks and desserts are also made with rice or rice flour. A famous example is golden "Arancini”; a delicious, deep-fried rice-filled ball from Sicily in Southern Italy. The classic Karelian pies are made with a rye crust, butter savory rice filling, and then folded into little boat-shaped pastries that are famous in Finland. Calas, a traditional sweet rice fritter from New Orleans has become very popular, but Rice Pudding is probably the most favored rice dessert in the world.
In Asia, steamed rice can be flavored and formed into savory rice cakes and rice balls served as a light snack. Many sweets are made with rice flour, such as Chinese-style deep-fried crispy sesame balls, Lad-Cheag a colorful starchy noodle dessert from Thailand, an iced dessert named "cendol" from Malaysia, and so are the Hakka style silver pin noodles. For something a bit more sticky, short-grain rice can be made into mochi, sticky rice balls, which are also known as tang-yuan (湯圓). In Korean Songpyeon (송편) and Japanese Dango (団子) are enjoyed by many people.
Culturally Enriched Rice and Cooking
Rice plays an essential role in many Asian countries, especially during festive celebrations such a countries’ New Year. Rice can be milled into flour or rice milk to make rice cakes, vermicelli, and noodles. Glutinous rice is actually gluten-free and known for its unique sticky texture and sweetness.
Many traditional Asian rice cakes are dyed with natural food coloring and formed in special molds, giving each an auspicious meaning to the food product. Take the red tortoise cake (紅龜粿) for example; it implies longevity, blessings, and prosperity and is often used as offerings over religious events or worships. Grassy vegetable juice and pandan leaves are often used for making sweet green rice balls (青糰) and Nyonya Kui (娘惹糕) known for their vibrant colors and flavors. Many of these festive rice cakes or rice balls are made into spherical shapes for the connotation of "reunion" in the Chinese language. Special names are often given to these foods to bring good luck or fortune. Something as simple as mochi can be filled with bean pastes, strawberries, or ice cream, making this another delightful way to enjoy rice every day.

Washington DC: President Donald Trump’s accusation against former President Barack Obama of wiretapping him and the entire Trump Tower seems to have fallen flat. FBI has clearly said there was no truth in the accusation and has asked the Justice Department to clearly convey it to everyone else.
Earlier President Obama’s spokesperson had made it clear that there was no truth in the accusation.
The latest salvo from President Trump had come following criticism of his new appointees in the White House. Earlier, Trump faced a volley of criticism over his anti-immigration stance and his efforts to ban the entry of Muslims in the US.
While he imposed a blanket ban on the entry of people from seven Muslim nations, the increased vetting meant that American nationals for generations were being stopped at airports for their Muslim sounding names. Merely last week, renowned boxer, late Muhammad Ali’s son and wife were stopped at the airport. While the wife of the iconic personality was let go, his son faced questions on his Muslim name and belief.
In the meantime, top FBI officials called Justice Department officials and demanded to publicly reject President Trump’s assertion that then-President Obama ordered the wiretapping of then-candidate Trump’s phones. Reports suggest that the FBI Director James Comey was the person who disputed the claim because it falsely suggests that the FBI broke the law.
In a series of tweets, President Trump accused Obama of tapping his phones. One of his tweets read, “How low has President Obama gone to tapp [SIC] my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!”. It must be kept in mind, that like most of his allegations, this too was without any basis. He had nothing to show as evidence.
Following his accusations, his team from White House demanded congressional intelligence committees to investigate the Obama administration’s surveillance activities.
Mark Warner, Vice Chairman of the Senate Select Intelligence Committee in response to such demand said, “I thought the president’s comments could no longer surprise me, but boy this one yesterday surprised me…To make that type of claim without any evidence is I think very reckless.”

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham introduced a bill Tuesday that would ban most abortions nationwide starting at 15 weeks of pregnancy.
The South Carolina senator introduced the bill less than three months after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling that established the constitutional right to abortion. The measure would sharply narrow abortion access in numerous states — especially blue states, which tend to have more abortion rights protections.
The legislation has little chance of passing Congress as it currently stands, as Democrats hold slim majorities in both the House and Senate.
It arrives ahead of the pivotal November midterm elections, where expectations of a Republican rout have been thrown into doubt as evidence mounts that the reversal of Roe has galvanized Democratic voters. Abortion rights advocates have warned that a GOP takeover of Congress would lead to an erosion of women’s rights, and many were quick to hold up Graham’s bill as a prime example.
“Are you all ready for a nation wide abortion ban? Vote for republicans and that’s what you’ll get,” tweeted progressive activist David Hogg on Tuesday morning.
While the title of Graham’s bill suggests it would bar only “late-term” abortions, it would restrict the procedure nationwide after less than four months of pregnancy, a threshold that falls within the second trimester.
Abortions are typically considered “late term” at 21 weeks of pregnancy or later, according the health-policy nonprofit KFF. But the organization notes that that phrase is not an official medical term and that abortions at that stage are rarely sought and difficult to obtain.
The 15-week limit precedes the point of fetal viability, generally considered to be about 24 weeks’ gestation. The Supreme Court ruled in Roe that women have the right to obtain an abortion before viability, and that states can start to impose restrictions after that point.
In the June ruling Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the high court by a 5-4 margin struck down Roe and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, another case upholding abortion rights. The ruling, by a court that had grown much more conservative after the appointment of three of former President Donald Trump’s nominees, gave individual states the power to set their abortion policies.
Numerous Republican-leaning states immediately moved to ban abortion outright, while many Democratic leaders have sought to enshrine protections for the procedure.
Graham, a close Trump ally, had previously expressed support for states setting their own abortion laws. “That, in my view, is the most constitutionally sound way of dealing with this issue and the way the United States handled the issue until 1973,” Graham tweeted in May.
But Graham has also introduced legislation to restrict abortion at the national level — though his 2021 bill would have banned abortion after 20 weeks, rather than the 15-week limit in the current version.
“Abortion is a contentious issue. Post Dobbs, America’s got to make a decision,” Graham said at a press conference Tuesday unveiling the new legislation.
“States have the ability to do it at a state level, and we have the ability in Washington to speak on this issue if we choose,” he said. “I have chosen to speak.”
At the 15-week mark, Graham said, the fetus has developed enough to feel pain from an abortion. After that point, his bill would allow no abortions except in cases of rape or incest or to save the life of the mother. “And that should be where America’s at,” the senator said.
Graham was flanked by the leaders of multiple anti-abortion groups, including Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser.
“This is incredible progress, but much more action is needed,” Dannenfelser said in a statement.
The White House slammed Graham in a statement later Tuesday, calling the bill “wildly out of step with what Americans believe” and touting the Biden administration’s legislative goals while accusing Republicans of “taking rights away from millions of women.”
Pro-abortion rights groups echoed that sentiment, while tying the issue directly to the midterm elections.
“Anti-abortion rights congressional Republicans are showing us exactly what they plan to do if they get power: pass a national abortion ban,” Planned Parenthood CEO Alexis McGill Johnson said in a statement.
“We would like to thank Senator Graham for making it crystal clear to voters today that Republicans are running on a national abortion ban in these midterms,” said Dani Negrete, national political director of the progressive advocacy group Indivisible.
Polls show attitudes on abortion shifting toward the “pro choice” position after the Dobbs ruling. Some Republican candidates who previously touted hardline positions on abortion during GOP primaries have softened or muted their views as they compete in general elections.
Democratic candidates, such as Pennsylvania Senate nominee John Fetterman, have leaned into the issue.
“Dr. Oz has made it *very* clear that he wants to take away women’s reproductive freedom,” Fetterman tweeted Tuesday about his Republican opponent, Dr. Mehmet Oz. “With the GOP introducing a national abortion ban, it’s now more important than ever that we stop him in November.”

Banda Aceh, Indonesia, March 3 (Jiji Press)–A Japanese-style garbage-sorting system is taking root in an Indonesian city thanks to its exchanges with the city of Higashimatsushima, Miyagi Prefecture, northeastern Japan.
The city of Banda Aceh on the northern tip of Indonesia’s Sumatra island began exchanges with Higashimatsushima after the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami struck the Japanese city. Banda Aceh, for its part, suffered over 78,000 casualties in the huge tsunami that hit Sumatra in 2004.
The adoption of the sorting scheme is seen as a progressive move in a country struggling with waste-related problems.
Every Monday, officials from the city department responsible for waste management check garbage collection points in the coastal village of Alue Deah Teungoh.
The garbage is sorted into seven categories such as plastic bottles, aluminum cans and glass, with newspapers and other paper waste tied with string.
City officials measure and read aloud the weights for each waste category. These are recorded by other officials and leaders of garbage collection points.
The garbage collection points, introduced in 2015, were proposed by a Banda Aceh official who stayed in Higashimatsushima for a year as part of the two cities’ CoMU Project exchange initiative, which began in 2013. The Japanese city had launched a project for sorting disaster waste by hand to boost recycling accuracy and create employment.
A Banda Aceh department official said that it took effort to convince citizens to follow garbage-sorting rules as littering is common in Indonesia.
Department officials visited homes and held meetings to explain the importance of the initiative.
The department also created a chart with images to show sorting rules. The chart was modeled after a similar one drawn up by Higashimatsushima for its household waste rules.
The city is setting up garbage collection points at a rate of one per 20 to 25 households so that everyone has quick access to one. In 2018, the city began sending out email reminders to residents on the day before garbage collection.
Azri Munaldi, chief of Alue Deah Teungoh, said that a waste-purchasing scheme was a major motivator for citizens.
Under the scheme, the city pays for six types of recyclable waste based on the amount, and the money is divided among residents. The scheme ensures that sorting waste leads to financial benefit.
Leaders of waste collection points also receive financial incentives.
The number of collection points in Banda Aceh increased from just two in 2015 to 31 by 2020. While the city has yet to reach its target of setting up 800 collection points, it has managed to curb the increase in waste that ends up in final disposal sites since 2018, despite the rising population.
According to estimates by Indonesia’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, waste is increasing nationwide by 1 pct, or about 700,000 tons, every year.
The country has been urging citizens to reduce, reuse and recycle waste since 2005, but a local newspaper said that such calls have so far fallen short.
Hayatun Nufus, 43, a garbage collection point leader, gives lessons on waste sorting under a city educational program for schools, restaurants and companies. Nufus has lectured at over 80 schools since 2019.
On Feb. 23, Nufus visited MIN 1 elementary school and asked children if they had brought their water bottles and lunch boxes. They took out their bottles and lunches so Nufus can see them, as the school bans single-use containers and created a team of kids patrolling for waste.
Nufus, who visited Higashimatsushima in 2016, remembers being awed by how very little garbage ended up in final disposal sites thanks to waste-sorting.
After learning that it took several decades for Higashimatsushima to achieve that, Nufus expressed firm belief that Banda Aceh can also steadily reduce waste even if it may take time.

Have you checked out the new text on my home page? It explains what the heck I mean by living “incurably.” So if by chance you’ve been reading this little blog without knowing what the title of it actually meant, here’s a little intro explanation:
I’m a little fascinated with the dual meaning of the word, “Incurable”
Most people use the term to describe a disease or condition unable to be cured. A bad thing. But our good fortune is that it can ALSO be used to depict a person who won’t be changed by their negative circumstances. A person who is determined to thrive despite their limitations. A person living vibrantly and with gusto despite having a chronic illness. A very good thing.
There’s also a longer explanation in the intro of my little book.

Vast Opportunities Lie in the Special Economic Zone of Medini in Johor, Malaysia| 25 Oct 2018
As Malaysia's new economic center, the Special Economic Zone Medini boasts a constellation of economic activities, excellent investment incentives, and has already attracted renowned international firms. It has built an excellent foundation for the upcoming serviced residence Citadines Medini.
Medini Malaysia - 'the future Shenzhen of Singapore'
In Malaysia's southern state of Johor, the Medini special economic zone stretches along the main Southern development corridor. Currently, this region has received RM262.43 billion in cumulative investment, and its activities range from manufacturing, tourism, healthcare, emerging technology, education, finance, creative, to a plethora of miscellaneous industries.
Adjoining the Singaporean border, Johor is a fast-growing region akin to Shenzhen vis-a-vis its relationship with Hong Kong, and boasts immense development potentials.
As this special economic zone benefits from no real property gain tax, reduced expat income tax for qualified knowledge workers, and corporate tax could be exempted for 10 years for approved companies, it has attracted an influx of international corporations with the freedom to source workers globally without restriction.
To date, many international firms have already settled in Medini. Microsoft has invested RM5-6 billion to set up its data center, while Huawei has set up its first regional data hosting center for its Asia Pacific Digital Cloud Exchange service. Hershey, one of the largest global chocolate manufacturers, has invested RM 816 million for a new 70,000-sq. ft. manufacturing plant, while UK-based Pinewood studio has also settled in the area. Therefore, the demand for housing for expatriates has risen sharply.
UMCity Medini Lakeside - the fruit of visionary city planning
The UMCity Medini Lakeside development is a 30-acre mixed-use project in Medini, with a 13-acre landscaped natural lake. Brought to buyers by one of Malaysia's top 10 developers UMLand, and construction partner Samsung C&T - builder of the world's tallest building Burj Khalifa in Dubai, investors can rest assured of the project's quality and appreciation potentials.
Thanks to outstanding city planning, the development enjoys excellent connectivity. It is merely 20 minutes away from the Singapore customs 'Tuas Checkpoint', and 3 minutes to Legoland by car. Other tourism hotspots nearby include the Puteri Harbour and Johor Premium Outlet, both providing abundant shopping and dining ideas.
EduCity, another highlight of the Medini zone, features a myriad of recognized educational institutes, including University of Southern California and Raffles University. For primary and secondary education, boarding schools are scattered across the neighborhood, for instance, the Marlborough College Malaysia and Raffles American School.
Citadines Medini - a branded serviced residence
Among UMCity Medini Lakeside's 5 residential, grade-A offices, shopping mall, and hotel buildings, branded serviced residence Citadines Medini stands out for being serviced by The Ascott, one of the world's largest international serviced residence owner-operators.

Suffolk County Home Care Nurse Was Paid $150,000 To Do Nothing; Gets Jail, Pays Back $168k
ALBANY NY (July 30, 2007) Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo today announced a home care nurse who falsely billed Medicaid for over $150,000 was sent to jail.
"We invest a great deal of trust - and taxpayer dollars - in home care providers, and must hold them to the highest standards of integrity and professionalism -- this nurse failed to live up to those standards," Attorney General Cuomo said. "We will continue to aggressively pursue anyone who abuses this vital component of New York's health care system."
Claudette Davis, 61, collected money for care she did not provide to her patient, a severely mentally and physically challenged child patient. She also took the child out of the state, despite rules forbidding her from doing so. Davis was sentenced by Acting Suffolk County Court Judge Jack Toomey to 60 days in jail, and has already paid $168,000 in restitution.
Davis was employed through the Medicaid “Care at Home” program, which pays for nurses to provide care in the homes of disabled patients under the age of 18. For nearly six years from 2000 through 2005, Davis collected $154,431 for care she did not provide, and for care she provided during long stints out of state unaccompanied by the patient's family members, which the program does not permit.
MFCU investigators further discovered that Davis billed Medicaid for 10 trips she took - without the patient - to Montego Bay, Jamaica and to Orlando, Florida, where in early 2005 she bought a home.
The case was prosecuted by Special Assistant Attorney General Alan Buonpastore of the MFCU regional office in Hauppauge, under the supervision of Special Deputy Attorney General Heidi Wendel, head of the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit. Supervising Associate Auditor Investigator Margaret McArdle, Special Auditor Investigator Dan Layer, Senior Investigators James Haefner (now retired), Thomas McBride and Investigative Trainee Nasim Ahmad contributed to the case.

HEM Data rolled out the DAWN Mini Logger for in-vehicle diagnostics. It is the industry’s smallest high speed data logger. The DAWN Mini Logger is small enough to fit within the mating OBD (J1962) connector under the dashboard. Its small size means it is easy to install. The mini-data logger just snaps onto the OBD (On-board Diagnostics) connector. It is then ready to acquire data and is hidden from the driver.

State Secretary Hirayama opens Science Europe High-Level Workshop on Research Ethics and Integrity
Bern, 24.11.2022 - On 23 and 24 November, Science Europe, the association of research funding organisations, together with the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation and the Swiss National Science Foundation hosted this year’s High-Level Workshop in Zurich. Participants included ministers, high-level delegates and heads of national research organisations from across Europe. The theme of the workshop was ‘Research ethics and scientific integrity in the context of public engagement’. Switzerland’s contribution underlined its active commitment to a strong European Research Area.
In her speech on the second day of the workshop, State Secretary Martina Hirayama commended the valuable contribution of researchers to addressing societal challenges and crises. She also emphasised the importance of holding joint discussions on research ethics and integrity as a basis for a successful public dialogue on science. In addition, she briefly met with Ukraine’s minister for education and science, Serhiy Shkarlet, on the fringes of the workshop.
The ministerial participants discussed the topic of research ethics and integrity from the perspective of how policy makers can contribute to improving the integrity of research in the context of public engagement in the European Research Area (ERA). Ms Hirayama cited current activities in Switzerland aimed at strengthening the dialogue and understanding between researchers and politicians. She also stressed that there should be a deeper discussion on the form of this dialogue in Europe. Full cooperation in the European Framework Programmes for Research and Innovation could strengthen this dialogue throughout Europe.
The results of the workshop will be presented in a report to be published by the Swiss National Science Foundation in mid-December.
European Research Area
The ERA was launched in 2000 and aims to create a single EU market for research, innovation and technology by aligning national research and innovation systems and improving cooperation between the European Union, EU member states and participating third countries.

I admit it — I never know what to get for my mom on Mother's Day. I mean, what could you possibly purchase for the woman who brought you into this world and then unconditionally fought for your happiness every second after? Nothing ever feels good enough. But sometimes, the best answer is right in front of your face. Early on, I learned that my mom appreciates some quality time, whether we're making dumplings together or watching a movie in silence. So if you're on the same wavelength with your mama, celebrate with these nine movies on Netflix to watch with your mom on Mother's Day. Because nothing says bonding quite like ugly crying together over a film that dives into the intricacies of mother-child relationships.
Before I begin, I just want you to know that this list doesn't include any classic television shows like Gilmore Girls, nor does it have family-centered movies like Akeelah and the Bee, The Joy Luck Club, or Freaky Friday, the greatest mother-daughter films of all time — welcome to my TED Talk. Nonetheless, these movies on Netflix are exactly what you need if you want to spend some quality time with your mom this Mother's Day. And trust me, you'll both be feeling all the feels by the end of each film.

Shortly after midnight Dimocrats in the Senate will build a mausoleum commemorating their stupidity – to house the suicided corpse that once was the great Democratic Party. There will be a vote to end the debate and pass a Senate version of Obama’s health care scam and it will likely pass.
Long ago we stated that we did not know what was worse for Dimocrats – to pass the health scam they call “reform” or to fail to pass the health scam. We believe that failure to pass will be worse because it will effectively end the present administration Dimocrats are heavily invested in.
These same Dimocrats decided last year to destroy a great woman from becoming president in 2008 because she knew what to do and she would lead the nation, not them. These same Dimocrats decided to inject Chicago corruption into the national bloodstream because they would then be in charge, not the neophyte, unqualified, inexperience flim-flam man from Chicago.
There are voices who disagree with us that stopping the health scam is worse for Dimocrats than passage. Matthew Dowd, the chief strategist for George W. Bush is one such voice. Ordinarily, such a voice is suspect, but Dowd makes a strong case. Dowd argues:
Unlike many other pundits and political experts in both parties, I think that passage of a bill by the Democrats at this point will be politically damaging to both the president and congressional Democrats. Conversely, defeat of the legislation is much more likely to hurt Republicans in Congress.
Dowd’s discusses the drop in support for Obama among independent and swing voters who oppose the legislation.
As Wednesday’s Post-ABC poll shows, a majority of Americans believe that if this bill passes, their health-care costs will rise, the federal deficit will increase, the costs of the overall health-care system will climb, and their own care would be better if the system stays as is.
Dowd’s main point is this:
If this legislation passes, Democrats will be held accountable for any failures or problems in the system. So if Americans’ insurance premiums rise, they will blame the Democrats. If patients have to wait in line at emergency rooms, it will be seen as the Democrats’ fault. If health-care costs don’t drop, the Democrats will face the wrath of the electorate.
The other side of the coin according to Dowd is this:
If the legislation fails, Democrats can blame Republicans by saying reform was in sight and the GOP blocked it without offering a real alternative to decrease costs and increase access.
Dowd, recalling George W. Bush’s Pyrrhic victory in the Iraq War bestows this curse for the future:
Democrats pushing so hard for success on health care could find themselves in a situation resembling President Bush’s situation on Iraq. They could topple the statue and win the day, but lose politically over the coming months and years.
Dowd does mention Bill Clinton’s second statement in support of the legislation,
Democrats (including former president Bill Clinton) claim that they need this bill to pass for political reasons. But let’s examine that. At present, a majority of Americans are against the effort, the legislation lacks bipartisan support, the costs of the reforms are upfront, and the benefits won’t kick in until after the 2012 elections. When has that ever been a formula for political success?
On Bill Clinton, we believe that “the medium is the message”. Bill Clinton has spoken in private, behind closed doors, to Senate Dimocrats (the same ones who stood by while Obama supporters called Bill a “racist”) and also issued a statement. Bill Clinton has not been campaigning or touring and giving public speeches at rallies to support the legislation. This pro forma, almost ministerial, verbiage is interpreted by the desperate as a full-throated battle cry. It isn’t. When Bill fully supports a cause, it’s full throttle, not half measure, or half statement, as in this case.
Bill does understand that failure to pass the Obamination will be Obama’s Waterloo. But the question remains, is Obama’s Waterloo preferable for Democratic interests to passing the Obaminable legislation? A conservative Republican is sure passage will be a Pyrrhic victory. Bill Kristol:
When a fellow conservative tried to cheer me up this morning by assuring me that the Senate Democrats’ victory on health care was going to be a Pyrrhic one, I realized I didn’t remember much about Pyrrhus.
I went of course to Wikipedia. That fine reference work defines a Pyrrhic victory as “a victory with devastating cost to the victor.” It also provides this quotation from Plutarch’s Life of Pyrrhus, describing the aftermath of the battle of Asculum in 279 BCE:
“The armies separated; and, it is said, Pyrrhus replied to one that gave him joy of his victory that one more such victory would utterly undo him. For he had lost a great part of the forces he brought with him, and almost all his particular friends and principal commanders; there were no others there to make recruits, and he found the confederates in Italy backward. On the other hand, as from a fountain continually flowing out of the city, the Roman camp was quickly and plentifully filled up with fresh men, not at all abating in courage for the loss they sustained, but even from their very anger gaining new force and resolution to go on with the war.“
So: Pyrrhus’s victory became Pyrrhic because the victorious party lost many of its supporters–but also because the opposition didn’t abate in courage, was able to gain new recruits, and had the force and resolution to go on.
Kristol cites facts to affirm that Obama has lost supporters already. Kristol then makes these shrewd suggestions:
1. Keep fighting on health care. Fight for the next few days in the Senate. Fight the conference report in January in the Senate and the House. Start trying to repeal the worst parts of the bill the moment it passes, if it does. [snip]
Making the 2010 elections a referendum on health care should work–if Republicans don’t let up in the debate over the next year.
2. But don’t fight only on health care. Republicans need to expand the battlefield. The rest of the past week’s news–some Gitmo prisoners being released back to the battlefield, while others are to be brought to the U.S.; the Copenhagen farce and the EPA CO2 regulation; an Obama-appointed “safe schools czar” who’s more interested in safe sex than safe schools–reminds us that there are many fronts for conservatives and Republicans to fight on, ranging from economic policy to social issues to national security. The criticism of the Obama administration needs to be broad-based, because you never know just what issue is going to take off, and because the opposition needs to knit together all those who object to the Europeanization of America.
3. And broaden the base for the fight. Many Republicans–especially Republican elected officials–fret that the Republican party remains unpopular. Don’t worry about that. It will take a while longer to repair the damage that’s been done in recent years. So what if the GOP has a favorable/unfavorable rating in this week’s NBC/Wall Street Journal poll of 28-43 percent? The good news is that, for the first time in more than two years, the Democratic party has a negative favorable/unfavorable rating, of 35 to 45 percent. The Democrats’ decline is evening up the playing field between the two parties.
The most striking result in the NBC/Journal poll is that the Tea Party movement has a net-positive 41 percent to 23 percent score. The American public is in a populist/conservative/libertarian mood. Republicans need to adopt that mood, channel it into sound policies, and learn to trust the people, without worrying that they haven’t all yet signed up to GOP orthodoxy.
So: Fight on with respect to health care. Fight on other fronts. And recruit new fighters. In a word: Fight.
We use the word “resist” because we’re Democrats. “Fight” will do just as well.
Some Dimocrat “intellectuals and writers” argue that repeal will never happen. That’s because these Dimocrats don’t understand the concept of “fight”. Steve Benen has made the “repeal will never happen” argument:
For one thing, if anyone thinks the year-long effort to pass reform was difficult, just imagine trying to un-pass it. Are Republicans going to craft a new health care plan that can pass the House, get 60 votes in the Senate, and gain approval from some other, future president? They shouldn’t count on it.
For another, any Republican “replacement” health care plan would invariably want to curtail efforts to cover the uninsured — which is exactly why it’s a political impossibility. There will be precious few politicians willing to proudly proclaim to tens of millions of Americans in 2012, “Know that health coverage you’re about to get for you and your family? I’m about to take it away.”
It’s why conservatives have spent the year fighting, lying, and screaming — they know how limited their options will be going forward. Republicans might be able to gut a public option, undermine consumer protections, or make it harder on middle-class families to afford coverage, but those efforts would be difficult, and bring their own political penalties.
Once this bill is done, changes will be incremental and a major overhaul will be all but impossible anytime soon.
A commenter on that site make the logical and obvious counter-argument, which we agree with:
Repeal is NOT difficult. It takes a majority in both houses. You think Republicanms would not go to a nuclear option if they wanted to repeal. You’re in LaLa land. Republicans may be insane and not know how to govern, but they do have guts that Democrats lack.
It’s sad but true. Dimocrats have not guts, just weakness to offer. We also have no doubt that after the 2010 election losses Obama will fold like a cheap whore, a broken tent, a bad gambler. We’ve seen Obama “fight” when he has overwhelming majorities. Imagine the weakness we will see when the majorities are removed.
Sean Trende at RealClearPolitics thinks the Obamination health scam is political suicide too:
If Democrats need to appeal to Independents and moderates to hold their majorities, then passing this bill is a terrible idea. The most recent polling shows that 81% of Republicans and 69% of Independents oppose the healthcare plan (with 74% of Republicans and 57% of Independents strongly opposing it). With majorities of Independents strongly opposed to the bill, it’s really hard to imagine any boost in Democratic turnout from passing the plan being enough to surpass the ensuing backlash from Republicans and Independents.
It isn’t even clear that there will be a boost in Democratic turnout. The latest version of the Senate bill holds little appeal for progressives. As I noted on the blog, without a public option, this bill becomes a wet, sloppy kiss to the insurance industry. It doesn’t even represent a substantial triumph for liberalism by significantly expanding government through taxing the wealthy; there are large new subsidies, but for the most part the subsidies are paid for by gouging Medicare and taxing union health benefits. It really reads like a bill a moderate Republican would propose; it is a slightly stronger version of RomneyCare at this point. In other words, the only remaining group that might have even arguably been excited to vote for Democrats on this bill is now at best lukewarm on it.
This bill may encourage a few Democratic policy wonks to run to the polls, but this trickle will be nothing compared to the flood of angry Republicans and Independents. And this is all analysis conducted before election ads begin to run telling voters about how the Democrats will jail them if they don’t buy health insurance. To which the Democrats will respond “no, you see, it’s only a big fine.”
I suspect that most of the left intuits this. That’s why the other argument you’ll see – and this is especially true of the Administration and the leadership – is that the Democrats should pass this bill because they have a chance to make history: Do something the Democrats have wanted since the Truman Administration. [snip]
They’ll even let the press start describing them, with reason, as allies of Big Pharma to achieve the win. The train is simply running out of control at this point, and all Pelosi can do is stand at the front and repeat increasingly out-of-touch talking points about the American people wanting them to enact this bill and standing up to the insurance industry.
I don’t think they’re close to finding their Grail. I think the better analogy is probably that they’re close to their Moby Dick. And we all know what happens to Captain Ahab once he finally harpoons his white whale.
In defense of the Obamination, Jacob Hacker, the “thinker” most associated with the public option is back urging passage. Hacker deludes, or is deluded, when he states the bill must be fixed then passed. Then, the defender of this legislation writes this, which to us hardly sounds like a positive for the scam:
The federal government is the only entity big enough and powerful enough to ensure a highly consolidated private insurance industry follows the law. It can and must demand transparency and obedience to the new rules. Insurers must open their books, and subject their rates, administrative costs, and profits to federal review. These new rules must apply to all plans, not just those within the exchange. And states should have authority not only to enforce these rules, but to innovate beyond them as well.
These are not politically unrealistic goals. Most are already embodied in the House bill. In bridging the differences between the two bills, Democratic leaders and the President must insist on a final bill that delivers on these fundamentals.
If it does not deliver–if the new options offered through the exchange do not attract broad enrollment, if insurers continue to undermine health security with impunity–then the worst fears of progressives will come true. Coverage will be too expensive because only those with the highest health costs will sign up. Fewer Americans will obtain insurance than expected. Small employers won’t want to take advantage of their ability to buy insurance through the exchange. And Americans will become increasingly disillusioned with the promise of reform. [snip]
So a bill must pass. Yet it must be a better bill that passes.
That is hardly a rousing, or inspiring, battle cry for passage.
Jay Cost writes the rousing, inspirational battle cry – for the Republicans:
Then, in an instant, simply to win the vote of Joe Lieberman, the Senate leadership drops the public option element. There was no talk about whether what was left was perverse, whether this is a compromise in the worst sense of the word. And now, there is a push to get the bill passed before Christmas, not because that’s best for the country – but because the startlingly irresponsible 44th President correctly intuits that health care is pushing his numbers down, and he wants to move on to talk about jobs.
Amazingly, this bill has produced the broadest political coalition I have seen in my lifetime. Peruse the liberal blogs and you’ll discover widespread disgust at this corporate boon. Cruise over to the conservative sites, and you’ll encounter much the same thing. Then, check out the opinion polls and you’ll find a mass public that is staunchly opposed to this bill.
And yet Democrats in the Senate have decided that all of us – left, right, and center – are wrong. We need this bill.
Cost summarizes the Obamination:
This has to be one of the biggest giveaways to corporate interests in the nation’s history.
Andrew Jackson must be spinning in his grave this evening. The Democratic Party was founded in opposition to “corrupt bargains” among entrenched interests that Democrats believed were undermining the will of the people. Today, such interests are called “stakeholders.” They are to be wooed, bought off, and neutralized. Can’t afford a K Street lobbyist? Sorry, you’re not a stakeholder. Don’t like this bill? Eh…you don’t know what’s good for you. You’re either a tea-bagging moron or a gutless liberal who will fold sooner or later.
Like I said, Jackson must be spinning.
Cost does not understand that the Democratic Party committed suicide in Denver in 2008. What we have now is the Obamination Party, the Dimocrats. The winning FDR/Hillary Clinton coalition is despised by the new Obama situation comedy coalition.
I wonder what FDR and LBJ would think of this, too. As we all know, the Democrats plan to cut nearly $500 billion from Medicare to fund this monstrosity. Medicare is a single-payer system for seniors. It’s the ultimate “public option,” a product of Johnson expanding Roosevelt’s social insurance concept to medical care for the elderly. Today’s Democrats plan to reduce its revenues by $500 billion to pay for subsidies that will ultimately find their way over to…private insurance companies.
Again, the Pyrrhic victory is sounded by Cost:
Many Democrats on Capitol Hill have talked themselves into the absurd notion that this is better than doing nothing. That kind of myopia is a typical symptom of the Swamp Fever, so I’m not surprised. Still, they had better look out. Above all, they are grossly underestimating the wisdom of the American people, and they are ignoring the power that the Constitution grants them. This is a grave error. When the people catch wind of the full scope of this bill, and they will, there will be hell to pay. The public has been known to vote against big business and big government. Somehow, this compromised bill manages to deliver both – big government and big business, joined together, with the little guy forced to participate.
Here is what will happen if the Obamination passes:
If the Democrats pass this bill, the Republicans will pound them relentlessly and mercilessly in next year’s midterm campaign. All across the country right now, would-be Republican candidates can sense that this is their chance finally to get into Congress. They’re already starting to toss their hats into the ring. Many more will follow because they know what the public thinks of this. They know that they’ll find plenty of donors to bankroll those ads talking about the individual mandate, the insurance company giveaways funded by Medicare cuts, the victory for special interests, and how it all happened behind closed doors. And they know what kind of effect these ads are going to have.
Democrats were bound to lose seats next year because it is a midterm and they’re in charge. They were bound to lose extra seats because it’s a recession. But if they pass this bill, God help them. The people sure as hell won’t.
To borrow from Obama’s mentor, Jeremiah Wright, “God Damn This Obamination”.
Even the “creative class” dunces at Nothing Left write: “…every outcome to the health care fight will have severely negative political consequences for the Democratic Party. There is no happy political ending at this point; it is a matter of picking your poison.”
The battle against the Obamination health scam will continue. It is not yet over. Even congressional leaders know the battle is not over by a long shot:
Congressman Bruce Braley expressed doubts today about the chances the Senate health care compromise bill, as it now stands, could pass the House. [snip]
Braley said he respects what Harkin, a fellow Democrat, is trying to do to get the bill passed. But, he said, “I can tell you I think the bill the Senate is talking about passing is not very likely to pass in the House, at a conference committee, if that’s the final product.” [snip]
“But I think the real test is going to be at the conference committee and if it doesn’t improve significantly, I think health care reform is very remote based on what I’m hearing in the House.” [snip]
He also said they need more leadership from President Obama and the White House: “I think there’s been great frustration about when the White House and the president are going to set their clear expectations about what it is going to take for them to have a health care bill that meets their criteria for meaningful and comprehensive reform.”
Braley belongs to the majority party. Howie Dean, in the Washington Post simply says “kill the bill”, and this time he does not mean Bill Clinton:
Real health-care reform is supposed to eliminate discrimination based on preexisting conditions. But the legislation allows insurance companies to charge older Americans up to three times as much as younger Americans, pricing them out of coverage. The bill was supposed to give Americans choices about what kind of system they wanted to enroll in. Instead, it fines Americans if they do not sign up with an insurance company, which may take up to 30 percent of your premium dollars and spend it on CEO salaries — in the range of $20 million a year — and on return on equity for the company’s shareholders. Few Americans will see any benefit until 2014, by which time premiums are likely to have doubled. In short, the winners in this bill are insurance companies; the American taxpayer is about to be fleeced with a bailout in a situation that dwarfs even what happened at AIG.
Dimocrats will continue to build their mausoleum tonight. But tomorrow, as Scarlet O’Hara said, “is another day.”


There are many kinds of pipes and their production methods are various. The common production methods are as follows：
(1) Production of pipes by thermal pressure processing. There are many ways to produce hot rolled seamless pipes. The tubes used for hot rolled tubes are hollow billets, solid billets or steel ingots. In hot rolling production, the punching is to pass the heated pipe blank into a thick-walled capillary tube on a perforating machine, and roll the thick-walled capillary tube into a finished tube on the pipe rolling machine to the required wall thickness and accuracy, and then pass the sizing, reduction or expansion Diameter, and finally cooling and finishing.The hot-pressing method is mainly used for rolling pipes, but for non-ferrous metals, rare metals that are difficult to deform, and precious metal machines, special-shaped profile pipes are produced by extrusion.
(2) Pipes are produced by cold pressure processing. The cold-pressure processing method mainly refers to cold-rolled and cold-drawn pipes, and also includes the production of thin-walled extra-large and special-shaped pipes and rotating parts by spinning.
(3) Welded pipe production. The production method of welded pipe is a pipe formed by bending the blank (steel plate, strip) into the required tube shape by different forming methods, and then welding the seams by different welding methods.

Of course, you have probably seen this, the first successful mid-air refueling of an F-18 from an MQ-25 UAV in naval history, which occurred 4 June. The fact that this could eliminate tying down tactical aircraft as buddy stores refuelers is huge for the use of carrier air wing tactics.
The current “Loyal Wingman” or “Airpower Teaming” concept– matching up high-performance UAVs with a manned aircraft in a single flight– is seen as revolutionary to the future of naval warfare, and it is, but keep in mind that it is not wholly unheard of/unseen in the past with more analog technology.

It was in this same year that, while on Yankee Station off Vietnam, another VF-92 Phantom, F-4J #157269, flown by LCDR James McDevitt and Lt. Curt Dose, shot down a Vietnam People’s Air Force Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 with an AIM-9 Sidewinder.
VF-92 was disestablished on 12 December 1975 but the hapless 155743 was saved, put back into service, and was later even converted to F-4S standard, flying with VF-154 and the Marines of VMFA-312 until 1985 when she was put into storage at the AMARC bone yard. Odds are, she was probably scratched as a target drone sometime later.
“Connie,” on the other hand, remained in service until 2003 and was only recently scrapped at Brownsville, Texas.

Skyes9: In an attempt at documenting the last USAF F-4 Phantoms in flying service, I flew to Holloman AFB, NM. They’ll be used as ground targets from now on as the QF-16 takes over. In this video you will see the start up, taxi out, and phly by of the F-4s, followed by water cannon salute and then shut down of the USAF McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II.
Flight Global reports the last 22 QF-4 Phantom aerial targets, currently part of the 53rd Wing’s Detachment 1, 82 Aerial Targets Sqn, based at Holloman AFB will be out of service by the end of 2016.
When they are expended, they will end the U.S. military’s 58 year love affair with the big smoky J79-engined F-4 whose first flight was 27 May 1958.
Which in the end is rather poetic.


text: The effects of 1,1-dimethyl-4-phenylpiperazinium (DMPP) and of nicotine receptor antagonists on [3H]acetylcholine release from the rat phrenic nerve preincubated with [3H]choline were investigated in the absence and presence of cholinesterase inhibitors (presynaptic effects). Additionally, the effects of hexamethonium and tubocurarine on the muscle contraction of the indirectly stimulated diaphragm were examined (postsynaptic effects). DMPP (1-30 microM) increased (76-92%), whereas hexamethonium (0.001-1 mM) and tubocurarine (1-10 microM) decreased (52-60%) the release of [3H]acetylcholine following a train of 100 pulses at 5 Hz. The release caused by a longer train (750 pulses at 5 Hz) was only slightly affected by DMPP and tubocurarine. In the presence of neostigmine (10 microM) neither tubocurarine nor DMPP significantly modulated the evoked [3H]acetylcholine release. High DMPP concentrations (10 and 30 microM) enhanced the evoked release only when the pretreatment interval was reduced from 15 min to 20 s. Tubocurarine and hexamethonium concentration-dependently inhibited the end-organ response. Hexamethonium was 250-fold more potent on presynaptic than on postsynaptic nicotine receptors. It is concluded that the motor nerve terminals are endowed with presynaptic nicotine receptors. These autoreceptors mediate a positive feed-back mechanism that can be triggered by previously released endogenous acetylcholine. Receptor desensitization can be produced by high agonist concentrations (endogenous or exogenous agonists) and is probably one mechanism to limit the autofacilitatory process. The presynaptic receptors appear to differ in their pharmacological properties from the postsynaptic receptors.

US hospitality real estate has generated several years of growth for investors. Christopher O’Dea reports on a market that has yet to check out
Investors that entered the US hospitality real estate market a few years ago might feel they have been on an extended vacation. The market has continued to get better and better, chalking up a ninth consecutive year of growth in 2017.
JLL’s 2018 Hospitality Investment Outlook shows that in late-2017 demand was improving and there was a propensity among corporate customers to spend on travel, including business-district rooms, conference venues, and food and drinks – reflected in hotel performance metrics in many US markets. Helping to keep occupancy high, JLL reported that the number of new rooms entering the North American hotel supply pipeline waned for several consecutive months in late 2017.
Investor sentiment rose in 2017, JLL notes, with the sector’s positive fundamentals bolstered by expectations that US tax reforms would spur spending on business and leisure travel. JLL predicts 2018 transaction volume in the Americas will hold steady at $28bn (€24bn), and believes “factors driving hotel investment to be largely unchanged from those seen throughout 2017”.
The positive outlook extends a period of solid performance for US hospitality property. IPE Real Assets predicted in late 2014 that a bull market in the sector had years to run, aided by low-cost debt capital and light supply. Two key long-term trends were driving investor interest in the US hotel market at that time – a nascent recovery in resort properties and increasing interest in US hotels from investors outside the US.
Both of those trends have been amplified in the ensuing years. Firstly, investor interest has been strong for luxury hotels and resorts that are equipped to service conferences, especially in locations where new properties cannot easily be built. Secondly, global investors have become a major factor in the US hospitality market. Some made their first forays in 2015 and have since been steadily adding to their portfolios, while others have acquired US hotel property only in the past few months.
The appeal is the opportunity to assemble portfolios of assets diversified by geography, operator and hospitality concept, in cities and resorts in the world’s largest economy. Tax reform has provided an added boost, particularly from increased corporate spending on business travel.
The rising interest rate environment also makes the hospitality sector attractive relative to other commercial property, as long as the sector’s fundamentals are in balance, says Colin Bell, managing director and client portfolio manager at Goldman Sachs Asset Management. The reason: hotel rates change daily, allowing hotel operators to raise rates to keep pace as demand increases. “That’s a great advantage for listed leisure assets in an environment like today,” says Bell. On the flipside “it’s a huge disadvantage when you go into a downturn, since you don’t have the safety of cash flows locked in for multi-year periods”.
Corporate expense accounts typically pay most of the hotel bills in the US where, most notably at the higher end of the hotel market, nearly 75% of demand is driven by business travel rather than leisure travel, Bell says. Leisure travel is highly correlated with consumer confidence based on rising incomes, deleveraging and increasing wealth – trends that have been “moving in the right direction”, Bell says. But leisure travellers account for about a quarter of total hotel spending in the US. “So the real swing factor here in the US is business or corporate travel,” he says.
Corporate travel spending has been “relatively muted”, Bell says. “But we expect that to pick up.” Tax reform has bolstered corporate balance sheets, and many are “exhibiting a higher propensity and willingness to spend on business travel”, he adds. The lag time between improving corporate profitability and increased spending on hotels is usually about three to four quarters, he says. “We do expect to see that filter into the system in the not too distant future,” Bell says. As long as the economy remains on its current course, “certainly by the end of this year or early next is when you will likely see that begin to improve”.
When business travellers hit the road, they often head for major resort hotels with food, beverage and conference services. Such assets offer investors long-term value, says Sean Hehir, president and CEO of Trinity Investments, a private equity firm that invests in hospitality assets. “In the western part of North America and Hawaii, we really like what we call convention resort hotels,” says Hehir. “These are larger properties, and they tend to be in markets with high barriers to entry, meaning California, and as far north as Vancouver.”
Such markets are less exposed to competition from Airbnb or hotels offering limited service, Hehir says. “The guests who stay at resorts are staying there really for the full-service offering. You’re staying there not just for the rooms, but you need the view, you use the meeting space, you use the food and beverage outfits, pools and spa.”
“In the western part of North America and Hawaii, we really like what we call convention resort hotels. These are larger properties, and they tend to be in markets with high barriers to entry, meaning California, and as far north as Vancouver”
Demand for top-tier resorts in North America has been boosted by the aftermath of hurricanes in the Caribbean last year, which damaged many competing resorts. “There’s been a flight towards ocean-front resort properties on the West Coast of North America, and Hawaii as well,” Hehir says.
While preferring to own resort assets in locations where it is difficult to build new hotels, there is ample opportunity to improve asset values by investing in properties that need improvements. Trinity employs a value-add approach, working with major hotel brands on two main fronts. “We typically engage in active renovation of structures, plus a heavy repositioning of food and beverage outfits, retail spaces, and room renovations,” Hehir says. As investors “we don’t intend to operate these ourselves, we’d rather let the brands operate them. We’ll handle asset management, working closely with the brand and with management to formulate what we think the investment business plan should be.”
Trinity’s strategy has attracted significant institutional capital, and last year the firm formed a joint venture with Oaktree Capital Management to invest up to $3bn in high-quality, value-added hotels in Trinity’s core markets of Hawaii, California, Mexico and Japan, seeking to invest alongside global institutional and high-net-worth partners in these markets.
While the full effect of increased business travel may take time to filter into the hotel sector, the rosy outlook for US hospitality property appears to have arrived for early check-in. Based on better than-expected first-quarter performance, in May CBRE Hotels’ Americas Research marked up its 2018 outlook for the US lodging sector. CBRE projected a 2.8% annual increase in revenue per available room for US hotels in 2018, up 30bps from its previous forecast two months earlier.
“We continue to be impressed by the ability of the US economy to support demand growth for accommodation away from home,” says Mark Woodworth, senior managing director of CBRE Hotels’ Americas Research.
Total lodging demand increased by 3% in the first quarter, a full 1.1 percentage points more than expected. The surge prompted CBRE to boost its forecast for occupancy to a slight increase in occupancy for 2018, and another rise in occupancy rates in 2019. That would mark 10 consecutive years of increases in occupancy and five consecutive years of record occupancy levels, according to CBRE.
Of note to investors: “With sustained record occupancy levels, we also are starting to see the return of some pricing power for US hoteliers,” says John Corgel, professor of real estate at the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration and senior adviser to CBRE Hotels’ Americas Research.
The increase in demand for US hotel rooms in the first quarter of this year extended a streak that began in 2010 to 33 consecutive quarters, according to CBRE. “We are bullish on the performance of US hotels during 2018,” says Woodworth.
“The magnitude of revenue and profit growth may not be spectacular, but it appears to be very sustainable,” he adds

A fire at the Quail Springs Mall in Oklahoma City caused an evacuation Saturday afternoon.
According to the Oklahoma City Fire Department, it started at a Chinese restaurant in the food court. It then spread to the ventilation system and then eventually to the roof.
Large black smoke could be seen as firefighters arrived.
It did not take firefighters long to put out the flames. Some shoppers inside at the time said it was a scary experience.
“As we were leaving, we saw smoke and a number of firefighters motioning us to get out to the nearest exit,” said Jennifer Solis.
Shift Commander Jim Williams with the Oklahoma City Fire Department said they were able to locate the fire quickly.
“We were able to access the roof and put the remaining fire out had quite a bit of fire on the roof where the fire had extended,” said Williams.
Fire officials said all workers and customers were safely removed. No injuries were reported.
The mall is back open at this time. Officials said the blaze caused an estimated damage of $40,000.

NEW DELHI, July 27 � The CBI has registered a preliminary enquiry (PE) against Internet giant Google over Mapathon 2013, an event organised by the US company, for allegedly violating laws by mapping sensitive areas and defence installations, prohibited by law, reports PTI.
The CBI registered the PE based on a complaint filed by the Surveyor General of India�s office to the Union Home Ministry in which Google was accused of indulging in activities of mapping several areas which were not included in the maps of the country, official sources said here.
The Internet giant had not taken permission from Survey of India, the country�s official mapping agency, before organising a mapping competition in February-March 2013 when they asked citizens to map their neighbourhoods, especially details related to hospitals and restaurants.
Alarmed by Mapathon, the Survey of India (SoI), India�s national survey and mapping organisation under the Department of Science and Technology, asked the Internet giant to share its details where they found that there were several coordinates having details of sensitive defence installations which are out of the public domain.
Highlighting the violations to the Home Ministry, the SoI said only it was mandated to undertake �Restricted� category surveying and mapping, and no other government or private organisations or individual are authorised to do so.
As per the National Map Policy 2005, �the responsibility for producing, maintaining and disseminating the topographic map database of the whole country, which is the foundation of all spatial data, vests with the Survey of India�.
Responding to queries, Google India said, �We are in touch with relevant authorities and take national regulations and security very seriously. We are not aware of any privacy issues and have nothing more to share at this point of time.�
After initial probe by Delhi Police, the case was handed to CBI as investigations required access to places across the country and, if need be, questioning of some individuals with the help of FBI as Google is incorporated in the US.
It was alleged that Google India had launched a nationwide contest and people might have passed on maps and other key details of strategic installations located in other cities and states to the US company, the sources added.

Cute Yummy Time: 70 Recipes for the Cutest Food You'll Ever Eat Paperback – October 6, 2009
Customers Who Viewed This Item Also Viewed
Top Customer Reviews
The first is that for the most part the pictures of the recipes are not nearly as cute as I expected. There is nothing inherently wrong with creations such as the "Hot Dog Croc" on page 85, but it lacks the finesse and polish that I think a cookbook should have. While there are a few standouts, for the most part there were few designs that appealed enough to make me wish to emulate them. While that may sound harsh, I expect that books that teach will be written by people who excel in their craft.
The second is that aside from a few tiny illustrations in the forward, there are no patterns in the book. Since the creation of these decorative foods is a craft where you often need to cut special shapes and combine them, the lack of any patterns is mystifying and frustrating. Instead of patterns, there is a short fluff story on each page which relates to cute animal featured in the recipe.
If you are looking for projects to do with younger children, this might be an acceptable book for you. If you seek to emulate the Japanese style of cute food decoration, or have an artist's taste, I am sure you can find better guides.
There are a lot of mistakes like this throughout the book that suggests the author does not have a strong culinary background. Also, I felt that there wasn't much of a focus on the "bento" part of the book. The few lunch items included, though pictured in a bento box, were not placed in there as if all you needed to do was slap on the lid and send them off to school. They were either popping out all over the place (see: Politician Frog Pita) or they didn't represent a full, nutritious meal (see: Woodland Caprese).
And to make matters worse, most of the recipes didn't sound tasty. I understand her focus on healthy alternatives to typical foods, but no kid is going to eat buckwheat pancakes that are gray and flat!
I thought that maybe it would be a cute book for my daughter to read (since there is an adorable storyline that goes along with the recipes), but then the introduction started talking about "condoms" and "Waking Lovers Crepes", which makes it completely inappropriate.
All and all, I am extremely disappointed with this book and suggest to anyone that is looking for a good bento book to look elsewhere.
If you want to make real bentos, run away. Very fast. There are many, many other, much more researched, edited, and educated bento enthusiasts who have put out much better books for the same price point. Virtually all the "bentos" in this cookbook are just regular foods put into a bento box as a prop. Not only would it become a mess to bring to work or school, some of the food is not even transportable. Not a well-thought out book at all
This book, however, is on a whole other level from the YouTube videos. It has the same quirky, even slightly weird-in-a-funny-way attitude of the videos-- which the kids just seem to love-- but the author has clearly taken a lot of time and care over the last year (or longer?) to make sure that every recipe not only tastes great and looks great, but is also practical and do-able in any kitchen and at pretty much any level of cooking ability. I find that so many cookbooks are full of recipes-- even the ones that are supposed to be for 'quick and easy' kids' meals-- that seem easy at first but turn out to be so complicated half-way through that you wonder whether the author ever actually tried out the recipe him- or herself before publishing the book! Not so with this book. Everything in here is easy to do and you and/or your kids will have fun doing it.
It was my youngest daughter who found out that the blogger La Carmina was coming out with this book, and she insisted that we pre-order a copy.Read more ›

When you are managing a business or a company, you need to maximize all the tool available to streamline the system and processes. But more often than not, some companies prefer to do things manually, especially the small and medium scale businesses.
But whether you are operating on a small scale or managing several branches, subscribing to the best ERP in Dubai will be able to help your business moving forward. Here’s how:
- Use a single software for everything
Some companies are using different kinds of programs and software for every tasks. But this practice can only make the work more difficult as the employees would need to log in to two or more different programs to accomplish the task. When you switch to ERP, everything will be done using a unified program. This will lessen the time to access different software and would be easier for the managers to manage the output of each staff.
- Easy access to the database
If you are still using physical paper for your office documents, then you might need to make some changes here. Switching to ERP will enable you to save files on the cloud and access information whenever you need it. There will less clutter in the workplace and you will less footprint in the environment. Most ERP software are connected to a cloud-base program that serve as their storage.
- Better business accounting
We all know that accounting is time-consuming, especially if you are doing it manually. This practice is also prone to human errors. By using an ERP system like the https://www.seidormena.com/solutions/hr-solutions-dubai/ your finance team will be able to keep track of your business finances and create a system within to help support your accounting. It is also easier to create financial reports and statements and the team can simply download the file when they are done.
- Improve customer satisfaction
If you noticed that most of your customer’s feedback is less than stellar, there might be something wrong with your system. Most the time, the cause of customer dissatisfaction is due to delay in delivery. To ensure that your service delivery is at its finest, try to streamline and consolidate the process by using an ERP software.
- Manage your IT system
When you are running different sorts of systems, your IT staff is running overtime as well. But by having a unified ERP system, it is easier for the IT staff to manage entire operations with less overload.

Teens have always had a major impact on American society. However, it was not until the 1950s that “teenagers” were labeled as a group to market to. During this session, Teenagers in American Society: 1920-2024, we’ll compare the role of teenagers during the Great Depression and World II with that of teens of the 1950s and today. Depictions of teenagers in movies and television shows of the last 75 years will be analyzed.
