Join our friends from the Humane Society (and kittens for adoption in the lobby) for this year’s new compilation of videos curated by Will Braden, the creator of the Henri Le Chat Noir videos and recipient of the festival’s first Golden Kitty (People’s Choice) Award. The Internet Cat Video Festival is the first offline celebration of online cat videos. The festival is a lively event, a gathering to watch a curated collection of cat clips—from six second Vine videos to short films and everything in between.
Internet cat videos are doing all of the things compelling art should: raising questions, challenging assumptions, angering people, and—in the case of our festival—creating a real experience. We assumed when we were assembling the clips that people would be eager to see new videos, but in actuality the greater joy was sharing the experience of watching very familiar videos with each other. The Internet Cat Video Festival event emerged in 2012 from the Community Programs and Education Department (ECP) and Open Field of the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, a platform of crowdsourced content in the spirit of collaboration and building community.

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is collaborating with chip maker Intel to develop new infotainment technologies at a new research and development center in Portland, Oregon. Chosen for its proximity to Silicon Valley and Seattle, the Open Software Technology Center also will be responsible for collaborative work with a number of JLR’s technology partners. It opens in 2014 and will employ a team of about 30 infotainment specialists. This includes 16 software engineers.
Already multiple projects are underway between JLR and Intel to develop next-generation vehicle prototypes that connect the car, device and cloud. According to Dr Wolfgang Ziebart, Jaguar Land Rover Engineering Director, “Our aim is to innovate and develop the ultimate user experience for our customers… and help us ensure our new products remain innovative and globally competitive.”
The Portland facility is JLR’s first dedicated software R&D operation, and will complement the current infotainment development team in Gaydon, U.K. It will include a multimedia creative suite, innovation spaces, development lab and a six-bay vehicle workshop. It also expects the Portland site to complement the JLR R&D team that will be locate at the National Automotive Innovation Campus at the University of Warwick. Scheduled to open in 2016, its research projects will include vehicle electrification, smart and connected cars, and coming development in the human machine interface. — CAS

Text description provided by the architects. In the suburbs of Seoul, we finally meet the end of a deep and calm village by climbing a long mountain path, which filters complicated and distracting things in our minds. It’s the place where we forget the tempo of busy and tiring city life. We built ‘Villa Lento’ here, the lyrical place where people who really glorify art and nature are able to recover a slow and peaceful stream of time.
Our client living in Seoul wanted a resort space where they can share it with their people as well as the space where they can enjoy nature and leisure in suburban Seoul. Therefore, they purchased an about 20-years-old house, located on the top of the mountain with its back against the forest and providing a fantastic wide view. By considering how to approach the place, the form of the existing building, and a taste of the client, we first imagined a small mansion where we may find at someplace of a quiet village in Europe. Then, we changed the very intricate form to a simple house, added textures and colors with a depth of time, and wished it’ll reflect colors of nature.
We divided the house into two parts: the floor where they enjoy leisure with their people; and another floor for taking a rest personally. The 1st floor is the space for leisure where the client can share food, communicate, listen to music, and enjoy swimming and a sauna with their people. We designed it as a low and simple form, not to restrict the beauty of nature coming through the windows, and also tried to reflect his taste by adding unique points.
Particularly, in the case of the music room of the client with a hobby collecting vintage speakers and LPs (the place was a living room before), we maintained the rustic but unique ceiling and used a redwood to allow them to enjoy music with a delicate sound, in a rough and clumsy mood. The 2nd floor is a rest area and includes four bedrooms and two bathrooms with a jacuzzi and Finnish sauna, centering on the hallway. We placed the window and independent small veranda for each room and allowed him to relax and take a rest without interruption with enjoying nature.
The client observed and recorded the process of the design and asked questions about it like a child. We couldn’t help reflecting on noisy and scatterbrained ourselves by facing their brightness in the curious eyes. We wish the place will be the space to bring a peaceful stream of time back, not the private-owned space only for leisure or rest, and remain the name ‘Villa Lento’ for the house.

With Mother's Day fast approaching, I have been talking to the kids about who the special Mommies in their lives are and how we might want to honor them this weekend. Likewise, we have started talking about May being the Month of Mary and what we might do to celebrate.
Yesterday, we had a great brainstorm session about what they want to give their grandmothers, great-grandmother and godmothers as Mother's Day gifts this year. (I so want to share their fantastic ideas here, but cannot yet - no spoilers for our special moms!) As a part of our discussion, we looked back at what we did last year -- real Mary Garden baskets for those close by and coloring ones and photo booklets for those afar. Both were fun, economical, interactive projects for the kids and I as givers that provided smiles on the receiving end, too. So, I thought I would share some pics and files from what we did in case anyone wants to borrow ideas for the moms in their lives this year. Mary Garden Baskets are a meaningful, kid-and-receiver friendly way of showing love not only to our moms here on earth, but to Mother Mary. They really work for us and I hope they might work for you, too. Enjoy!
For our nearby moms, first, we set about using some tracing, coloring, cutting and creativity skills to make our own wooden spoon Mary's. basically, the kids colored wooden spoons orange and drew faces on them. Then, they traced a small bowl and a larger bowl on cloth and cut out the circles to make the dresses and veils, which they threaded onto the spoons before using blue tape to hold the pieces in place
Then, after some after puppet play, reciting the Hail Mary, which they were learning as part of last year's Month of Mary celebration, Luke and Nina picked out baskets from our stash that they wanted to use as gift baskets -- a larger one for Grammy and a smaller one for G.G., who has limited space near her nursing home bed, but loves flowers. Once we knew the size of the baskets we had to fill, and after I had gathered together a list of traditional Mary Garden flowers from here and here, we were off to buy flowers. The kids helped pick out types and colors, with my guidance that G.G's had to be a bit of a shade-lover. And, then, they excitedly helped me plant them in the baskets when we returned home.
We added the Mary spoons the kids made (and a homemade card that explained the significance of Mary baskets, and the gifts were ready to give.
(If you click on the thumbnails above, I believe larger-size versions of the Mary Garden explanation card front, middle and back will appear for you.)
After making our real-life Mary Garden Basket, the kids and I talked about how sending homemade baskets of flowers to Nana, Godmummy Kathy and Godmummy Gina might be difficult. The flowers might wilt and die. So, I asked them what we should do instead? Luke said we could make them paper ones, so that is
exactly what we did.
I printed out some Mary Garden flower coloring pictures that I found online and using these, markers, brown paper shopping bags, some recycled card-front images of Mother Mary, scissors and glue, we made the Paper Mary Baskets.
Then, the kids decided that since our far-away moms could not see them on Mother's Day, we should send photographs. So, I made some Mary Garden Basket booklets of the kids to go along with the Paper Mary Baskets. These Paper Baskets and booklets were also fun to make and well-received.We hope to enjoy this year's projects just as much!
If you'd like to learn more about Mary Gardens, please see the following sites:
- Mary Gardens
- Fish Eaters
- Catholic Mom
And for some wonderful Mont of Mary Ideas, see Catholic Icing.
Plus, if you know of other Mary Garden sites, please add a comment and/or link to let us know about them, too. And, of course, share your frugal, fun Mother's Day and Month of Mary ideas with us! Finally, to see what works for other folks this Wednesday, simply clock on the links at We Are THAT Family.
Have a blessed Mother's Day and Month of Mary!

Owl Eyes, 2010
This is Martha, a Great Horned Owl rescued by the Wildlife Center at the Animal Rescue League Shelter and Wildlife Center of Western Pennsylvania. She’d apparently had one of her wings hit by a car as she was scavenging road kill, and the wing had begun to heal by the time she was rescued. A bird’s bones can’t be rebroken and set, so they just had to let it heal on its own, though the bone was twisted. She can’t fly so she can’t be released, but she’s a fairly willing demonstration owl for the Wildlife Center.

Tips on Selecting a High-Quality French bulldog Breeder
Animal pets are an integral part of some homes and some of these pets such as French bulldogs do not come cheap, and one can easily be duped and be given a different dog breed or be given an inferior breed only to find out later after the sale has been made. The first thing to consider in getting a French bulldog is to know exactly what one wants, and this applies to the dog that they want. It is vital to state that the foremost issue to look into is the gender of the dog though it is known that this breed is described as being clownish and sweet but they exhibiting same-sex aggression thus it is best to mix genders if one has another gender in the house so as to reduce cases of same sex aggression.
This needs to be done early enough when they are still puppies especially in the case of having male German bulldog that has dominant habits in which case it needs a female puppy dog that will be socialized to the habits of the other dog as it grows older and thus eliminates any future problems that might occur. It is perceived that males maybe be a little more rambunctious unlike females, a quality that suits many people, while on the other hand females don’t lift their legs on every upright thing that they come across as a mark of territory and they are perceived as being cleaner. If a purchaser has female German bulldog present in the home, then they need to get a male dog and the two dogs should be kept apart during certain periods in the year so that they can develop better-relating terms.
When the issue of color comes up there are various considerations such as bridle dogs are thought of to be more healthier, pure white dogs have a higher chance of having problems like sensitive skin and deafness, fawn is a common color among most people, black is not liked because it is not attractive and French bulldogs that come in unique colors such as blue or chocolate are not easy to come by, and they are very expensive to buy.
The Best Advice on Services I’ve found
An amazing fact to state is that conformation is also an issue that is worth addressing and the first thing to look for is compactness such that the back is short, the legs are stocky and not like those of a fashion model, the back line and legs should be approximately the same length thus forming a square box and is the puppy has a nice broad chest then it is a plus.Interesting Research on Animals – What No One Ever Told You

Salads are known for health quotient. As the trend these days go we usually look for quick and easy salad recipes which are filling as well as healthy. This recipe is very quick if you have all the ingredients in your pantry.
In fact you can whip-up this salad if you have some leftovers. I have been using this salad as a cheat for full-on cooking. Let’s begin.
2cups shredded lettuce
1/2 cup red, yellow &green peppers
1/2 cup boiled babycorn
1 small red onion diced lengthwise
1 small tomato diced in cubes
1 small cucumber diced in cubes
2 eggs hard boiled
For the dressing:
6tbspp extravirgin olive oil
1-2 tsp honey
1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
1&1/2 tbsp garlic mayonnaise
Mix all the salad ingredients except the eggs in a deep bowl.
Separately in an airtight container put all the dressing ingredients leaving the mayonnaise. Shake well Untill combine. Check for seasoning.
Now pour the dressing over the salad. Give it a good mix. Now mix in the mayonnaise.
Arrange on a salad plate and place the eggs on the salad. Slash some extra virgin olive oil on top. Voila.
You can used grilled chicken, grilled paneer or grilled eggplant instead of egg.
Team up the salad with a warm pumpkin soup and some cheeses bread for the perfectly light dinner.
For additional veg you can add French beans, blanched spinach, shalgam, carrots, celery. The list is indefinite.

Gentrification holds both a promise and a threat, depending on who you talk to.
The gentrification of an area, once under way, seems to be an inevitable and unstoppable process once wealthier people move in. This causes rising prices that drive a significant number of people away – perhaps some of the area’s more vibrant members. At least that’s the theory pushed by the left. On the other hand, gentrification proponents say that non-gentrified communities miss out on cleaner, better surroundings with people stuck in poverty while crime levels rise.
Gentrification is hard to study. If someone moves away, how do we know that gentrification is the cause? All neighbourhoods have a ‘churn’ with people arriving and leaving for various reasons. We do know that change comes slowly to neighbourhoods.
Toronto’s downtown area is expanding and gentrification of adjacent areas has followed. Forty years ago, the Junction was an artistic haven with cheap rents and property because of its grimy industry and toxic residues in the soil. It’s been cleaned up since and is a now hot area. Bloor West Village the same. Mount Dennis with its vibrant residents’ association, new Crosstown Station and Net Zero initiative may be next.
Once gentrification starts in an area, more people want to live there and demand drives up prices. Is there a danger of this in Weston / Mount Dennis? A review of the literature on gentrification found that,
New fixed-rail transit has a generally positive effect on both residential and commercial property values, but its impact varies substantially according to context.
There are signs of greater investment since the UP Express became an affordable commuter train. How then, can we keep people from being forced out as prices rise?
There is a fair amount of subsidized housing in our area. This is unlikely to change. In addition there are affordable rental apartments. Elsewhere, rent control keeps accommodation costs down but may stifle new housing.
In a study of Philadelphia neighbourhoods, Richard Florida found that there are benefits to gentrification that are enjoyed by all but the poor and vulnerable. He also found that there are fairly unstoppable market forces behind gentrification when it occurs and the secret to minimizing damage is to ensure that the most vulnerable are still able to access housing and work opportunities and that their micro neighbourhoods are well maintained.
If the secret is to have a variety of housing and work options, it doesn’t help to have penny pinching councillors (as we do out in the boonies) who make it their business to keep taxes down and starve initiatives that help poor people.
Here’s an example. The expansion of Woodbine Racetrack was recently under discussion at council. More gambling will bring problems to the community. A motion was put forward to ameliorate the negative effects by requiring that the new gambling facility install a daycare for employees and also hire a percentage of local residents. Here are two motions put forward:
1. OGGLP provide a maximum of $5 million to develop and equip a child care centre on site or within the vicinity land and work with the Children’s Services division in recruiting a not for profit operator for the site and request that the selected operator provide extended hours of operation and provide casino employees with priority access to the centre.
The motion carried but local councillor Mike Ford voted against it.
3 – Motion to Amend Item moved by Councillor Joe Mihevc (Lost)
That City Council amend the Community Benefits Agreement with the Ontario Gaming Greater Toronto Area Limited Partnership set out in Attachment 1, as amended, in accordance with the following:
a. amendments to the employment and hiring terms to provide that:
i. OGGLP will hire a minimum of 50 percent new hires through social or local hiring, of which at least half must be local hiring; and
ii. after two years of operation, at least 60 percent of employees shall have full-time employment;
This motion lost narrowly by 19 to 23. Guess who voted against that? Local Councillors Mike Ford, Vincent Crisanti, and yes, our own Frances Nunziata.
It’s voting like this that does not help vulnerable residents.
Here’s another example; living in a rooming house is probably quite cheap but the city fights rooming houses and accommodations that don’t fit into the middle class mindset e.g. the alleged illegal dwellings above the Weston Station restaurant. Surely there is a way for these accommodations to be cleaned up, made safe and licensed – especially when housing is in such short supply.
If we had affordable housing spread evenly throughout the city, gentrification would not be an issue. The city did help recently with a ban on Airbnb basement apartments but unless some brave city or provincial politicians enact legislation to insert affordable housing in every area of the city, we’re going to be stuck with the present model of an expanding gentrified zone spreading out from the core and no amount of protests and marches will stop that.
The left needs to get its act together and figure out a way to embrace the positive benefits of gentrification without allowing it to drive people out of the area. They haven’t done that yet. The right needs to understand that cutting services to the poor simply entrenches poverty and the consequential crime that comes when people have no route to prosperity.
Finally, a well managed community has room for everyone regardless of income or personal circumstance. The mark of a good society (and good people) is how well it takes care of its most vulnerable.
Dave McGregor, a Mount Denizen, is putting his mouth where the money is to raise funds for kids: McGregor will be boxing at the 2018 Victory Charity Ball. The proceeds will go to young people who have dropped out of high school, and will help them complete their diplomas and move into post-secondary.
McGregor, who will be fighting a larger and taller opponent, has been training for the fight since the beginning of the year. Far from being nervous, he says his at-risk childhood has made him ready.
I boxed as a kid and I took it up again a few years ago. I’ve met Pinball Clemons and I heard him speak. [His] charity helps kids, and the goal is to help them get back in school and get their diplomas.
I’m from Regent Park and I had to work to get through school, so it’s of profound personal importance to me. That’s my motivation for getting involved.
If I’m being completely honest, the fights I’ve been in in my life have been a lot more dangerous than this one. The biggest strain has really been making sure that I make the goal I commented to donation wise.
Those who give $50 or more get a link to live stream the event. McGregor is at 78% of his fundraising goal.

A small group of about 25 ACORN members marched from the Oldstonehenge condo site, at 1705 Weston Road, to the Greenlands Supermarket. They were drawing attention to gentrification in Weston, especially the number of new condo buildings and the loss of affordable supermarkets.
The march was a remarkably low-key affair, and ACORN didn’t really make demands—they asked, quite nicely, to have low-income people taken into consideration when new developments are considered. Carla Scott, the Weston chapter chair said,
We’re fighting to stop gentrification in Weston. We’re not against development. We want to live in nice places. We want to have a nice area to live in, but we’re saying ‘don’t make it unaffordable for us’.
Scarlettwood Court is a TCHC housing complex in Greater Weston™, just off Scarlett road, on the opposite side of the Humber. The development was built in the 1960s and is home to hundreds of families from a wide variety of backgrounds. Planners (as they did back then) created an isolated enclave in a beautiful setting overlooking Raymore Park with two main entrances; one from busy Scarlett Road and the other from Waterton. There is a little used pathway that leads down to Raymore Park.
In recent years, several shootings have left residents on edge and fearful. These are the major incidents I have been able to track down.
March 2018: Nnamdi Ogba, 26, of Toronto shot dead. – unsolved
*Cold cases are unsolved crimes older than three years.
Toronto Police claim a ‘clearance’ or solving rate for murders of 80%. Clearly 21st Century murders at Scarlettwood have a clearance rate of 0%.
The reason behind the spate of shootings is unclear but the story goes that Scarlettwood is the home of the ‘All Crips Gang‘ which apparently has territorial claims stretching down to Dundas Street. Presumably they deal in drugs and other contraband. There may have been a truce between the various gangs at one time but that seems to have ended. According to police, the latest shooting of Mr Ogba, an electrical engineer, seems to have been entirely by chance; criminals from outside Scarlettwood appear to have selected him randomly.
The local councillor for Scarlettwood (in Ward 2) is Mike Ford who responded to my email on March 19 to say,
“I thank you for bringing this concern to my attention and I do sincerely sympathize with you.
I want to assure you that the safety of Etobicoke is at my highest priority and any violence especially criminal violence is a serious concern.
I have spoken with Mayor Tory and Toronto Police Chief in the past and I will be doing the same for this incident. Although there is no easy answer to this problem I will be following up with yourself and the community for their input on this matter.”
I replied to the councillor that if anyone needs sympathy and help, it’s the law-abiding people trying to raise their families, trapped in the confines of Scarlettwood Court.
Residents told me that dozens of police responded on the night of the murder. Cruisers were parked all along Scarlett Road. Today when I walked through Scarlettwood, there was no police presence and residents confirmed that the police are a rare sight.
What’s to be done?
The Mayor should bring his travelling podium show and together with Councillor Mike Ford visit Scarlettwood to meet with residents and listen to concerns. This would show solidarity with residents.
Toronto Police need to get out of their cars and make meaningful and lasting contact with residents. The Community Safety Unit run by TCHC does not absolve police of their ongoing responsibilities. Police also need to avoid showing up in large numbers rather than in ones and twos.
Community groups and social justice warriors should make this their fight too. They need to contact residents and help organize some kind of community association (if none exists) and start a ‘take back Scarlettwood’ movement.
Politicians, police and the community should make and implement a plan of action to support residents.
Because of the limited entrances to Scarlettwood Court, in addition to the existing cameras, it would seem logical to have good quality cameras set up to monitor who comes and goes; cameras with the ability to see images clearly. In 2016, 100 cameras were installed.
Incidentally, the fight for gun control in the U.S. is our fight too. The majority of guns used in Toronto crimes originate in the U.S.

After the update and a couple of minutes all of my existing germs multiply. It reaches to like max a billion( literally) germs in some places and despite the half life being 11s or something like that cause of overpopulation it just stays at a couple million. It happened with the germs in carbon dioxide and polluted oxygen, currently the only germs are slimelung and floral scent.
I'm not too sure I've reloaded a couple of times and it happens every time after I reload. After a couple of seconds the germs explode every time near the oxygen diffuser and bedroom. The Oxygen Diffuser has algae in it that has slimelung, and the bedroom has a hanging pot made of copper with a buddy bud seed in it. then it spreads. I think that parts that it has spread to some tiles of air have germs on it. It happens on oxygen, polluted oxygen and carbon dioxide. It only reaches a billion on polluted oxygen tiles.
A developer has marked this issue as fixed. This means that the issue has been addressed in the current development build and will likely be in the next update.

Context Sensitive Health Informatics
Context Sensitive Health Informatics (CSHI) 2023 is the pre-conference to MedInfo2023, the world congress on medical and health informatics. CSHI focuses on Human and Socio-technical approaches to health technology and healthcare delivery, and so attracts a large number of human factors and organisational researchers, those who work at the intersection of technology, humans and health systems.
The CSHI conference is co-organized every two years by The International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) and a local partner. In 2023, the University of Sydney will act as the local partner. The event will be held over 2 days, on the 5-6 July.
Location for CSHI 2023
This year, CSHI will be held at the Charles Perkins Centre (CPC) Auditorium at The University of Sydney.
Building, D17 John Hopkins Dr, Camperdown NSW 2037
A Call for Speakers & Posters
COVID-19 has accelerated health technology development and implementation. How can we ensure that we capitalise on this momentum? What are the risks and challenges and how can we overcome these?
We welcome submissions that focus on the theme, or socio-technical systems more broadly.
Accepted papers will be published in a web-only, full open access IOS Press series of 'Studies in Health Technology and Informatics' and indexed in PubMed. Head over here for more information. Poster abstracts will also be published in the IOS Press series.
History of CSHI
The CSHI conference is co-organized every two years by the Human Factors Engineering - HFE and Organizational and Social Issues - OSI working groups of the International Medical Informatics Association - IMIA.
CSHI is the result of the merger between the sociotechnical conferences that were started in conjunction with Medinfo and ICT in Health Care (ITHC).
With support from Aalborg University, the first merged conference was held in 2010 in Aalborg. Below are some images of the journey:

The grass -like Dendrochilum grow as an epiphyte in mossy forests of about 300
– 2500m. The plants are tufted with terete clustered pseudobulbs and terete leaves
resembling fine grass. The flowers are minute and can flower from autumn through summer. Grows in dappled sunlight in warm to intermediate conditions with ample air movement.
We grow them in pots. Delightful miniature.
There has been a confusion about names in the Denrochilum – we have sold this plant as gramineum previously , but think tenellum is the correct name as gramineum has to have basally thickened pseudobulbs about 1cm apart.
DENDROCHILUM -These desirable orchids are called the ‘ Golden chain’ or ‘ Necklace’ orchid because of their arching, pendant racemes of fragrant cream to yellow flowers. A group of some 280 epiphytic or litophytic species from Indonesia, Philippines and surrounding areas

Influencers Chloe Szepanowski and Mitch Orval list Gold Coast home during market boom
Gold Coast influencer couple Chloe Szepanowski and Mitch Orval have decided to take their modern coastal Broadbeach Waters home to auction.
The controversial duo – with almost 1 million Instagram followers between them – only bought the home one year ago, but it's clear the booming Gold Coast property market is too good an opportunity to miss.
CoreLogic data reveals the couple paid $1.85 million for the property at 267 Monaco St in early 2021. But they have extensively renovated the property into a contemporary Hamptons coastal retreat.
According to listing agent, Mitch Lambert of Harcourts Coastal, the 23- and 25-year-olds show a design sophistication well beyond their years.
Think large, open living spaces in neutral tones, LED mood lighting, a gourmet kitchen with Carrara marble bench tops, a covered alfresco pavilion overlooking the pool, large-format concrete-look tiles and quintessentially coastal VJ panelling.
The pair kept the Hamptons-style navy and white striped window awnings.
The five-bedroom, four-bathroom home is sure to fetch the couple a hefty profit. Located in a tightly-held enclave, Monaco Street is home to many riverfront mega mansions, the top performer being a $14.5 million sale late last year.
It's reported that the influencers will remain in the Gold Coast area, as they have "some really exciting projects coming up as a family."
Let's see if the Szepanowski, Orval and their young son Artis wind up nabbing a nearby home they took a shining to and have been "manifesting".
Wellness influencer Szepanowski and YouTuber Orval made headlines late last year after videos of them not wearing masks during the mask mandates appeared online. It was then revealed Szepanowski followed many hashtags on Instagram related to conspiracy theories, such as the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969 being fake and staged.
At the time, Szepanowski uploaded a photo saying that she both uses natural remedies and supports western medicine.

India’s relative position in the world amid global slowdown is pushing foreign investors interest towards India: Ridham Desai, Morgan Stanley India
In an exclusive interview with Anil Singhvi, Managing Editor, Zee Business, Ridham Desai, Managing Director, Morgan Stanley India, said US strategists of Morgan Stanley are quite worried about the equity market and they fear that the US may enter into the grip of recession if the trade tensions are not shorted out during the upcoming G20 meet.
21st Morgan Stanley Annual India Summit is the longest running investor’s summit in India, says Ridham Desai, Managing Director, Morgan Stanley India. In an exclusive interview with Anil Singhvi, Managing Editor, Zee Business, Desai said US strategists of Morgan Stanley are quite worried about the equity market and they fear that the US may enter into the grip of recession if the trade tensions are not shorted out during the upcoming G20 meet. Excerpts:
Q: Let us know about the kind of investors who have participated in the investor's conference and what they are talking about the Indian market?
A: This is the 21st annual India summit of Morgan Stanley and I think that it is the longest running investor’s summit of India. More than 500 investors are participating in the conference this year. So, this has turned up to be the biggest investors conference for us as we haven’t crossed the 500-mark to date. Interestingly, 90 companies have made their business presentation in just three days and about 3000 interactions are scheduled to happen between the investors and the companies. So, this is the scale of the conference and the early indications suggest that investors are quite bullish towards India and their response is quite strong.
In the last few months, we have seen that the foreign investors are buying Indian shares and I feel that this trend will last for the next six months. Thus, it is expected that foreign investors are going to invest strongly in the year 2019.
Q: Throw light on the aspect that is pushing foreign investors interest towards the Indian market. Do you think that the recently concluded general election is a reason for the same or something else is attracting them?
A: There are different reasons. The first reason is India’s relative position in the world because the global growth is slowing down, there is a slowdown, but India is growing it seems that it will continue to grow in future too. So, the relative difference in growth is favouring us.
The second thing is that in the last two-three years foreign investors were pulling out their money from the market. By the end of last year, 2019, their position reached the lowest position of the last 7-8 years. But, now, the foreign investors feel that if India’s relative growth in moving in a positive direction and is in a new position then it is a time to bring back the money to India.
The third thing is the election, which has decided that the same government/administration that has governed the country for the last five years is returning to power. This means that they are not supposed to learn anything new and are aware of the problems of the economy and what should be done. Coming of a new government would have created a situation where they would have invested a few months in learning about the problem areas and finding the rights and wrongs of the previous government. This would have been a wastage of time but the continuity in administration will save this time.
But, I feel, the first reason for India’s position in the context of relative growth is very important among all and is very strong amid the ongoing trade-tension between US and China. And, then comes the government but the investors were putting their money in the Indian market before May 23, 2019, the say when the results were declared.
Q: What is your, Morgan Stanley’s, view on the global market amid signals that the US Federal Reserve is ready to consider cutting interest rates, economic slowdown and trade-war?
A: US strategists of Morgan Stanley are quite worried about the equity market as they feel that there is a slowdown in the earnings of the US. In addition, if the ongoing trade tensions are not resolved and fail to reach an agreement on May 29, during the G20 meet, then there is a probability that America will be hit by the recession by next year. So, they are a bit bearish about the US equity market.
Q: Do you think that Indian market can go bullish despite a slowdown in the US market?
A: It is such that if there is a big slowdown, for instance, if the index falls by 10-15 per cent, then it will be a difficult task to go bullish on an absolute basis. So, we will have to pay attention to the kind of recession that hits the market. If you ask me about the biggest risk factor for Indian share market, then I will say that the spillover effects of the glitches in the global markets are the biggest factor. Apart from this, I can’t see any other risk factor at this moment. If this is the biggest risk factor, then we must understand that if the American market falls by 10-15 per cent then the Nifty’s absolute performance is at a risk, but India will outperform on a relative basis. But, this will not have any impact on the domestic investors, however, the foreign investors will have to take a decision because they will lose less money in the Indian market. But, we must have a focus on global situations.
Q: What foreign investors are thinking about the Indian market and the new government? Are they expecting something from the budget that will be announced on July 5, 2019?
A: I think, the existing policies like inflation rate, positive real rate and infrastructure will be expected. Secondly, the government should pay attention to the PSU banks and recapitalise it as the banks have deposits but are short in the capital. The action will help them in growing their loan book, which will have a positive impact on the economy.
The third thing is that the government should go for fiscal consolidation to stop slippages in the fiscal deficit. Apart from this, there is an environment where India has an opportunity to grow its exports. So, any action on this front would be a good step. Thus, there are three-four things on which the government should work on, but these are not related to budget because the budget is just a summary of the government exchequer, i.e. expenditure and revenues.
Interestingly, today, policy announcements are not being made from the budget platform and that’s why it will remain out from the budget. But, if the government pays attention to these factors then it can bring a significant improvement in the Indian economy and steep rise of the stock market.
Q: Name the sectors that will perform well in India, where a person can invest and the sectors from which they should distance themselves?
A: One should focus on domestic sectors like big banks, real estate, the auto sector and industrial sector as I think that there will an improvement in earnings growth in these sectors and that’s why their share prices will go up. One should distance themselves from defensive sectors and costly sectors. At the same time, one should be selective in case of the NBFC sector as there is no need to buy/invest in every NBFC sectors because several NBFCs are facing business module challenges. Besides, the global sectors can underperform like tech and pharma. So, on a relative basis, one should maintain distance from these sectors.

Recently, Enterprise Electronics Corporation (EEC) in Alabama, United States, developed a new type of “high-frequency” (3.5-3.6 GHz) S-band dual-pol weather radar—the Defender SK1000H series. Compared to NEXRAD systems, EEC’s “high-frequency” system applies a much smaller antenna (20-foot), while maintain a similar beam width (0.95°) to that of more traditions S-band radars with a 28-foot dish. Therefore, its size, cost, and complexity are effectively reduced. In addition, due to the frequency increase (from 2.7-3GHz to 3.5-3.6GHz), the radar performance is improved for radar sensitivity, measurement accuracy, and clutter filtering. It is noted that the attenuation @3.5 GHz is only slightly increased and does not affect data quality.
EEC’s “high-frequency” Defender SK1000H systems have been delivered to several TV stations across the US to provide local weather analysis. These systems are generally operated with a very high spatial-temporal resolution configurations (0.25 degree and 125 meters azimuth-range resolution, updating every 0.5-1 minute). Compared to NEXRAD data (0.5-1 degree, 250-1000 meters, updating roughly every 5 minutes), the high-resolution Defender SK1000H data presents surprisingly in-depth details of storm features and evolution. With EEC’s advanced radar analysis software, EDGE, the local TV stations are capable of providing high quality weather services such as quantitative precipitation estimation, flash flood forecasts and warning, and severe weather detection, nowcasting, and warning. The current study presents several cases of high-quality weather surveillance taken from operational EEC Defender SK1000H “high-frequency” S-band radar systems, including several tornadoes and hailstorms in the southern plains of United States.

Our 2018 goal is $470,000. We can do it with your help!
When is this year's campaign?
The Employee Giving Campaign is March 26 - April 27. Payroll deductions will appear on pay vouchers starting in July, 2018.
Is this the same thing as the United Way?
The Avera McKennan Employee Giving Campaign and United Way are not the same thing. While Avera does benefit from United Way programs and services, it is NOT part of the Avera McKennan Employee Giving Campaign. All gifts to the Employee Giving Campaign directly benefit Avera and the patients, families and employees we serve. We encourage employees to support both campaigns if they are able.
How can I make a gift?
Employees can fill out their personalized giving form to make a pledge through payroll deduction, PTO donation or a one-time gift of cash, check or credit card.
NEW THIS YEAR! Make a convenient online contribution at Avera.org/give (please note that only payroll pledges and PTO donation may be made using the online form).
Am I able to donate my Paid Time Off (PTO)?
YES! Employees have the option to donate accrued PTO to the foundation. The PTO Donation Policy follows similar guidelines as the PTO Cash Out Policy. Please be aware that PTO donations will be taken entirely from your first paycheck in July, 2018, and that donated PTO hours are taxable under IRS rules. For more information on donating PTO, please contact the foundation at 605-322-8900.
How much should I give?
Choosing to give is an important and personal decision. What might be an appropriate gift will differ from person to person. We have several giving options available. You can give any amount of $1 or more per payroll period or you can give through a one-time donation/deduction.
Who will decide how to spend my donation?
You do! Choose the area of support that interests or impacts you OR choose to designate your gift to the Unrestricted fund and let us put your dollars to work where the need is greatest. You may direct your donation to any of the established funds set up within the Avera McKennan Foundation. The back of your pledge card includes a list of funds or for a complete list, see giving options.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Contributions to the Avera McKennan Foundation are tax-deductible as allowed by law.
How do I become eligible for the prize drawings?
Your completed and turned in pledge form will serve as your entry into the weekly prize drawings. The last date to turn in a card and be eligible for prizes is April 27. Remember: the earlier you submit your completed form, the more chances you have to win!
What do I need to do if I am an on-going giver?
Thank you for your gift! If you would like to continue your current contributions without changes, you do not need to do anything. Your current deductions will remain the same for the following year and your name will automatically be included in all prize drawings. If you would like to make changes or increase your donation, please do so and return your card to the foundation office. Your pledge will be adjusted accordingly.
I have an outstanding pledge to one of the capital campaigns (Avera Cancer Institute, NICU or Avera Prince of Peace). If I choose to increase my employee campaign payroll deduction amount, will this also increase my pledge to the capital campaign?
No. Should you choose to increase your employee campaign gift, only your annual gift to the employee campaign will increase. All pledges you had previously made to capital campaigns will remain the same. Should you wish to increase the deduction amount for your capital gift, please contact the Avera McKennan Foundation office at 322-8900.
I'm an on-going giver, where is my new badge clip?
Badge clips were sent via inter-office mail the week prior to the campaign launch. If you didn’t receive yours, please contact the foundation office at 605-322-8900.
If I do not donate, do I need to return my pledge card?
If you do not wish to support this year's giving campaign, please check the "I elect not to give at this time" check box on your pledge form and return it to your leader or the Avera McKennan Foundation office. By checking this box and returning your card, we are assured that you had the opportunity to make a gift in support of the campaign. PLUS, you could still win one of the great weekly prizes if you return your completed card!
Who should I contact with other questions?
Please contact the Avera McKennan Foundation at 605-322-8900 or email us.

Thanks bar bakke landscape architects for authorizing the publication of the project on mooool, Text description provided by bar bakke landscape architects.
bar bakke landscape architects：Bekkelaget海港浴场是一个由绿色游乐场、浴场设施、山顶和小树林组成的优美场所，距离奥斯陆市中心只有很短的骑行路程。
bar bakke landscape architects: Bekkelaget harbour bath is a euphony of green playscapes, bathing facilities, hilltops, and small woods just a short distance by bike from the city centre of Oslo.
The project has amended the problematic coexistence of residential neighbourhoods with the adjacent, busy harbour activity by establishing a rich and openly accessible park between them. All made possible through collaborative planning processes, public participation, and sound design choices.
The municipality of Oslo seized an historic opportunity when launching the concept of the “Fjord City” in the early 2000’s. The program entails that the harbour industry will make way for modern urban development, with new residential areas, offices, and public spaces, opening the city up towards the fjord.
While The Fjord City ends geographically just north of Bekkelaget harbour bath, the vision of restoring public access to the city’s waterfront persists and continues to widen beyond these boarders. Initially, the plan was to simply establish a visual buffer zone between the residents and the harbour industry. But after an extensive participatory process, empowering nearby residents to take part in shaping their local environment, the size and ambitions for the park began to grow. People’s wishes for open, green recreational areas, sports facilities, a parkour gym, and BMX-track were all included in the design. Soon, the buffer zone grew to become a big public park, its main attraction being an eye-catching diving platform; painted in Oslo Harbour’s distinctive orange palette. The stepped pier and platform encourage its visitors to dip their feet in the water or opt for a refreshing dive in the fjord – no matter the weather or season.
Overall, the site design is simple, green and clean. Undesirable shrubs and invasive species have been identified and removed. Extra care has been given to preserve existing trees; endangered plants have been mapped and preserved. Planted oak and preserved pine trees help to connect the green horizon from the isles in front with the park and hillside behind it: A long, green stream towards the sea.
New activities have been added to natural surfaces wherever possible. Where terrain adaptions were necessary, purposeful materials have been locally sourced; transporting masses from a nearby railroad construction to shape the terrain. An old power transformation box has been built into the terrain and its roof is now a surface for acrobatics in the parkour area.
The material choices are largely based on the reuse of local materials, supplemented with bespoke furniture made from railway segments and steelwork. Dividing the harbour from the park is a distinct and brutalist sheet pile wall, clad with railroad sleepers in eucalyptus – good to lean your back against. Lower retaining walls of local granite divide the green space and form long, horizontal surfaces for seating. A winding gravel path connects the seaside attractions with places to sit back and relax; a hilltop has been furnished with steps and a fire pan for outdoor barbeque and fjord gazing.
For decades, large parts of Oslo’s coastline have dedicated to the harbour industry. Through providing access to these areas, the lost connections between the city and the waterfront can be re-established. By providing an array of free of charge, low threshold activities, this urban renewal process contributes to a democratization of the city’s waterfront. Bekkelaget harbour bath offers something for everybody, whether you are seeking challenging physical activity, meeting up with friends, or simply enjoying a break from city life while inhaling the salty breeze from the fjord.
Bekkelaget harbour bath has quickly become a cherished place for its neighbours and visitors. The design was shortlisted to the Oslo City Architecture Award 2020, the Norwegian Landscape Architecture Award 2020 and was awarded the DOGA Award for outstanding Design and architecture 2020.

We are happy to present the first Concrete Light featuring a luxurious
Chocolate Macaroons scent | No12.
It took about 5 months after Tatiana from Ville De Fleurs and I
met at a Etsy Christmas in July event.
Funny enough the theme was already Christmas at that time. I was smitten by the delightful magic scents she creates, not just for Christmas but for all year around.
The only thing left to do - collaborate!
We decided to let the art of candle making meet concrete art.
It all started with sketches to design the vessel. Our goal was to keep it minimal and to allow the concrete to show its beautiful imperfect character. The warm light of the candle is represented at any time by the real copper stripe on the truncated corner.
From the drawing board I went on to build the first mould and the first two cube were poured. After about 5 days the cubes were ready for sanding, the recess was cleaned and then printing took
place. My last step to complete the cubes was to attach the copper and clear rubber feet.
They were now ready for shipping to Tatiana.
She gave the cubes a proper hard time by burning about 5 different scent combinations in one and the same cube. Did you know concrete has a strong smell on its own? Well, I didn't and Tatiana found a way to make it smell like wonderful heartwarming chocolate. After all the testing the cubes needed to be checked for major cracks or other things which could create an issue and it was a great relieve for both of us that after 4 months designing, working and pouring as well as testing it was all right.
Approx. size: H8.7 x W8.7 x D8.7cm; round recess: top diameter 6cm, depth min 7cm. Weight 1.5kg
Colour: pale grey concrete, optional with copper attached to the truncated corner.
Made from: concrete and copper; candle is made from eco soya and a linen cotton wick.
Light: Burning time approx 20 hours.
It was important to us...
Reusable: Once the candle is burned down you can use it as planter, vase or candle holder. Create a sophisticated clean display but please feel invited to go crazy from time to time by mixing it up or even by creating a vertical garden. Each planter is more than just a cube, it's truncated corner welcomes decorations and creates an intriguing twist.
Eco: Ville de Fleurs’ soy candles are made from 100% compostable plant material in small batches. They are non-toxic, bio-degradable and environmentally friendly and, as soy candle wax residue can be removed with hot soapy water.
Features: Unique textures (voids and cracks) and colour character due to the nature of the material.
Finish: Smooth concrete not painted or waxed, copper attached and printed as pictured; clear rubber feet attached.
The process now takes about 12 steps to complete one Concrete Light and we decided this is the number for our first candle together.
We hope you will enjoy this delightful handmade minimalist candle as much as we do all year around.
Sit back, relax and enjoy a sin with zero calories!
Tatiana and Antje

This bank robber pulled off his heist with a yellow posted note which ironically helped police make their case stick.
It all started Monday when Halton Regional Police reported two armed bank robberies on Plains Rd. in Burlington.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
“The (bandit) approached a teller and passed a note indicating he was armed with a gun and demanding money. He fled the bank after being provided an undisclosed amount of cash,” police alleged.
Investigators were looking for a white male in his mid-30s with a brush cut, black jacket and blue jeans.
The hunt was on for the Posted Note Bandit. Turns out police were on him like glue and it didn’t take long before they had this cased licked. The Repeat Offenders Parole Enforcement Squad headed over the Appleby Go-Station where 24 hours later a suspect fitting the description was readying for a train ride.
He got a ride in a police car instead.
“I am proud of the very quick and thorough actions by both our frontline uniform and investigative personnel,” said Chief Steve Tanner. “This type of crime will never be tolerated in our region, or elsewhere, and we will always work to quickly bring such (alleged) perpetrators to justice.”
Charged with two counts of robbery, possession of property obtained by crime under $5000, unlawfully at large and breach of probation is Adam Patrick Delise, 36, of no fixed address.
Police allegedly found the posted note used to pull off the robbery at the time of the arrest. The money — allegedly recovered — will be returned the banks and the yellow posted note was secured as evidence.
Turns out things got sticky for a suspect whose alleged short term bank withdrawals resulted in an early deposit in a jail cell.

Hi there, here is my collection of the best rock songs ever. Although i’m dutch and only 16 I still know some great songs. Damm I wish i was born 20 years earlier….Anyway, enjoy the songs that I picked, and maybe you discover some songs you like. And yes, I put some bands in that are more classified as metal, but imo the gap between rock and metal isn’t that great and i’m sure many people listen to both. (Like I do) Oyeah, before I forget: Commenting on the movie is really apreciated, I really want to know what you think about it. But please don’t make comments like ”WTF? No Stairway To Heaven?” That’s really anoying, and doesn’t make sense Cheers, please rate it, and enjoy! There are some mistakes about Layla. It is from Derek and the Dominoes and Clapton was part of that band. Often he only get’s credit for the song, but he was only a member. (And I couldn’t find a logo, thats why the pizza logo;)) (There’s a small change I create a second movie, and for that I need new awesome rock songs. I already got some, but not enough to make a new movie..Do you know a great song, that would fit on that list?? Please add a link on a comment, and I’ll check it out!)

“Live all you can: it's a mistake not to. It doesn't matter what you do in particular, so long as you have had your life. If you haven't had that, what have you had?”
it's the 3rd movement of violin concerto by Philip Glass
an underrated piece of music, but one of my friends told me it was like movement of life itself, it never stops. it's also our inner dialogue.
I wanted to share it, because these days I had a lot of questions in my mind, questions to myself and I felt this way, in a mood for Glass's music

2020 provided challenges to school leaders across the world like never before – and taught us a lot, too.
We can now tentatively start to think about a post-pandemic world. But we must ensure that we do not ignore the opportunities the crisis has afforded us to develop our schools and the young people and staff within them.
After all, strategic planning and further development must continue as we navigate our way out of the crisis just as surely as we navigated our way through it.
Coronavirus: What schools have learned from the pandemic
Here are five positives we must remember whatever the future holds
1. Reshaping the school day
The pandemic resulted in a shortened school day, a reduced movement of students between classes, split and reduced break times and a greater reliance on digital and online learning.
In my school all these areas have been seen as huge benefits by all key stakeholders as this has allowed staff and students to rediscover their school-life balance and parents to organise their time more efficiently and even miss the dreaded Cairo traffic – an issue known the world over.
It will vary by location and setting, but leaders should not overlook what can be retained from these changes.
The school day has been so embedded into society, we never dared imagine it could be different. Now we have seen that it can be changed – even if through enforced circumstances – we should not forget what we have learned.
2. Improved logistics
As a large school, it has been essential that all aspects of school life have been organised in a more efficient and effective way.
This has included our arrival and departure arrangements in the morning and afternoon, our bus protocols and safety expectations and even how students eat and socialise while on campus.
Cashless payments and the acceptance of visitors on to site have also been part of life now and will continue to be.
It shows that if we want to make changes to areas of school life that have in the past felt too entrenched, it can be done.
3. Pupil wellbeing
The development of the school’s provision of wellbeing resources and more attention to the psychological development of students has been a central theme since schools reopened at the start of the academic year.
This is an area that all of education should welcome and continue to build on.
4. Reconnecting with staff and their development
One of the biggest concerns I had was the impact that ex-pat staff felt from not having the day-to-day interactions with their children and with each other.
This is an issue in all locations, but for international staff especially not being able to return to their home countries, welcome visitors or see loved ones could have had a significant impact on wellbeing.
So to see staff returning to school, to their classrooms and making a difference to young people provided a “bounce” with morale, even with anti-Covid measures in place. It was a powerful reminder of how important a motivated and positive workforce is to school life.
We must ensure that, as leaders, we focus on staff and their development as a mission-critical area of our planning.
5. Focusing clearly on priorities
Finally, the pandemic perhaps brought clarity to help us treasure what is important within our schools and find ways to maintain it: quality teaching for our pupils and that sense of school community.
After all, it was fundamental to the continued development and reopening of our schools that we embraced the possibilities and opportunities that were presented to ensure we delivered our number one goal: great teaching.
This willingness to adapt and the mindset change it has brought are something we should not take for granted – or let fade away.
We have seen what we can achieve when we need to, so let’s ensure that we keep that so that whatever the future holds, we are always ready.

Turning the tail on Ignoramous
A recent post by Shelly led me to want to comment, but my comment was in danger of becoming so long, that it made sense to turn it into a post of my own. So Shelly – thanks for the inspiration. 🙂
In it she writes about a recent SNG in which a player felt the need to be, quite frankly, an ass, and make comments about her play. Not outright comments, mind you – more subtle ones – just a simple “LOL” with no follow-up explanation. (All the better for the mind-fuck really).
In her post Shelly writes:
“But – it made me think: what is it about online poker that makes people think it’s OK to ridicule other people’s play?” “Life is all safe and cozy behind an avatar, bad ass screen name, and the glow of the computer monitor.”
Shelly dear, you just answered your own question. That’s one of the great things about the internet. It brings us back to the basest of our human selves. You only need to take a glance around the blogosphere to see that. Hidden behind the safety net of “just words on a screen”, we’re free to be whoever we want to be – and for some of us that can be the real us, opening up to complete strangers in ways we could never open up to even our closest friends and family members. For instance, as far as my mother knows, I’ve never lost a penny playing poker. You all however know the cold hard truth. Friendships formed, love found – it can be a beautiful thing.
Of course, every rose has its thorn and there is a dark side too. Whereas some of us use this medium to express our true selves, many others use it to express their darker sides, or to just “try on” a dark side that isn’t normally there. I’ll never forget one night when I was just starting out, playing a play chip game at Stars, when a couple of guys took it upon themselves to harass this one woman at the table. They literally degraded to the point of death threats. Obviously PS support was alerted, but still, you have to wonder – were they really like this in real life? You have to figure that a certain amount of social Darwinism would have weeded these boys out at some point, if they truly were the type to be going around making death threats to random people just because it was “fun”. But then again, perhaps that explained why they were online late at night on a weekend playing at a play chip table – hard to get a date when you’re a social deviant.
What really struck me in Shelly’s post was her reaction to the player’s comment. Again, such a simple little comment. But it had such a powerful effect. Why?
“Here’s the second question you can answer for me – am I being too sensitive in thinking it’s rude to berate people’s plays in the online chat?”
I don’t think any of us would advocate berating the plays of other people. Occasional trash talking…maybe. The power of implied tilt odds can’t be denied. After all, we can’t judge too much – we are a group of people that worships 7-2 off.
I think what makes us so sensitive is the feeling we get when some random player across the virtual felt has the audacity to critique our play. It’s OUR play, and we see ourselves as being on a certain level as a player. So when someone comes along to challenge that, we immediately go into defense mode. And really – who the hell are they? You want to reach across the table and grab them by the collar and demand a rundown of their credentials. Have they written a book? Did anyone buy it? Do they have a blog? Does anyone read it? If an asshole makes a comment at a full table and everyone has the chat disabled, does he continue typing just to see his words on the screen?
We go into defense mode when challenged by each other too, but usually (hopefully) we handle it better. Either way, it’s a challenge to our perceptions of ourselves that plants a seed of doubt, and in some cases can throw a player off completely. These challenges are good though. You can never see the game from any other eyes unless you ask questions or allow yourself to be occasionally told “Hey, that was really stupid.” You want the challenge to come from a friend or mentor, as they’ll be there to reassure you that you’re on the right track, or guide you to the right one if you’re not. But are they there to see every hand you play? Will they be there to see all the bad moments and call you on them?
Learning to love the jerks
That’s where the jerks can come in. The vast majority of us don’t have the luxury of a teacher to pour over our hand histories after every session. When you review your play in Tracker, you don’t review all 200+ hands – you just look at the ones that made/cost you the most. But what about the ones that were marginal this time? What about the ones that have hidden in them a real lesson? Even these jerks at the tables can be helpful for having these light bulb moments – plays that you think are absolutely right to make, you go back to later and analyze them because someone at the table said something…and you find out that in fact you didn’t have the exact odds to draw, that maybe you should have pushed a little harder/less. Was the remark from the peanut gallery needed? Of course not. Did they end up doing you a favor in the long run? Yes. Any lesson you take away is a benefit, no matter how you got to it.
Don’t put too much into what they say – they are still jerks after all. And most of the time ignorant ones at that. But sometimes, perhaps they’re acting as angels from the Poker Gods, sent to jolt us out of our comfort zones so we’ll take a closer look at how we’re really playing.
I for one am truly grateful for not only every one of you reading, but for those whom I’ve had the opportunity to talk with; to be told when some play was stupid and who have made me re-think my own rules about the game. I find myself mentorless again so I truly value any and all feedback I can get.
And we all should, even if it comes in the form of a snide remark from some chicken hiding behind the comfort of his computer screen. Anything that causes us to reflect on ourselves and our play is a good thing.
And if we make note of his screen name, share it with our blogger friends, and hunt him down later and take all his money, well – that’s okay too.

Fruit crumble is way easier than pie.
There, I said it. This may be sacrilege, especially to American connoisseurs of pie, but the British idea of a pie involves a lot of pastry—always—and sometimes … sometimes pastry is a place you just can’t go.
Crumble, however, is the easy bit of pastry without the iced water, the no-touch rule, the rolling and the cursing. Takes 5 minutes to make, 40 minutes to bake, and 10 minutes to eat, so as an emergency, no-fuss pudding, it’s close to perfect and hard to muck up.
Any combination of fruit will work as long as it works with itself. Traditional mixes include blackberry and apple, plum and stem ginger, rhubarb and ginger, gooseberry, or just plain apple. Today’s as you can see, is a less traditional pairing of bramble and banana. The banana worked surprisingly well with the brambles.
If you live in the countryside, the chances are you’ll find brambles for free. Otherwise I’d go with a cheaper fruit, since they’re about £3 a punnet in the supermarket.
We decided to have ours later on, after the evening dogwalk. Full of bright ideas, I even set the timer on the oven to come on while we were out so it would be baked on our return.
Shame I didn’t put the crumble in the oven.
Bramble (blackberry) and banana spelt crumble
- 250-300g blackberries
- 1 banana
- 3-4 tbsp sugar
- 130g spelt flour (any flour will do)
- 20g oats
- 80g cold unsalted butter
- 70g sugar
1. Preheat oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4.
2. Either rub the butter and flour together until it makes ‘breadcrumbs’ and then add the sugar and oats, or throw all the topping ingredients into a mixer and pulse it a few times until same. Either way, try not to over process it, or you’ll get a kind of biscuit topping. While still nice, it ain’t crumble.
3. Pour the fruit into an ovenproof basin, sprinkle sugar over, and spoon the topping over the lot. You want the topping to be about 1 inch/ 2.5cm deep.
4. Bake for about 40 mins, until the juice bubbles up around the sides, nice and jammy.
5. Serve with yoghurt, cream, or custard.
