In an effort to buy up the votes of the Irish farmers, Brian Cowen promised to "veto" any world trade deal that threatened to cut their spending. Various Irish journos got in touch to ask whether that would even be possible under the Lisbon Treaty.
Its a complicated issue, but here is our view:
As a leader in Le Monde noted on Friday, Cowen’s pledge to veto the Doha round to protect Irish farmers is nothing but an “empty promise”, because “an EU member state does not have a veto right in agriculture.”
What’s absolutely clear (and not disputed) is that core trade policy is made by majority vote. Everything to do with trade in goods and almost all services are just straightforwardly a majority vote (apart from audiovisual, education and health services, and Foreign Direct Investment). The treaty brings in QMV on FDI too, and gets rid of the few remaining exemptions in services.
The European Commission notes that the treaty “will extend the scope of the trade policy to include all foreign direct investments and makes it clearly an exclusive
competence of the Union.”
Under current arrangements, in some fields both the member states and the EU can negotiate trade deals, allowing member states to have their own trade agreements alongside those of the EU as a whole. For example, various EU member states have signed a number of Bilateral Investment Treaties with other countries around the world. Exclusive competence in this area would make such bilateral agreements impossible.
To make the point clear, the Lisbon Treaty deletes the clause in the existing treaty (Article 133.5 TEC) which states that EU trade policies “shall not affect the rights of the Member States to maintain and conclude agreements with third countries”.
Trade in health and education services, currently decided by unanimity, would also be affected – under the new treaty the EU would have the same powers over these
issues that it has over trade in goods.
The only remaining opportunities to appeal to unanimity under the Lisbon Treaty are these:
“in the field of trade in cultural and audiovisual services, where these risk prejudicing the Union’s cultural and linguistic diversity”
“in the field of social, educational and health services, where these agreements risk seriously disturbing the national organisation of such services”
In my view this is not even an emergency brake. Unless you can prove (to the ECJ) that a trade deal which includes a health or education services element would “seriously disturb the national organisation” of those services then the default position is a decision by QMV. In other words, if you wanted to stop a QMV decision then you would have to take a massive and potentially humiliating gamble on an appeal to the ECJ – you can’t even pull an “emergency brake” in the council here.
The Commission (in their retraction of what Europe Direct previously said) said that “The new treaty would remove some of these exceptions, making more coherent and homogeneous the Union's common commercial policy (Article 207 (1) TFEU). However, the requirement for unanimity for agreements in the areas of certain key services (e.g. cultural and audiovisual, social, education and health), intellectual property rights enforcement and investment will remain in certain circumstances (Article 207 (4), second and third paragraphs, TFEU).” [my bold]
This is the nub of our disagreement. I don’t think saying that “In certain circumstances” you could appeal to the ECJ is really the same as there being a “veto” at all.
Moreover, it is not clear that any WTO deal that might emerge from Doha would even include a deal on such services, which the Commission rather blandly assumes. These would be the most controversial elements of any trade deal – and Doha is moving towards a more cut down deal for goods trade rather than an all encompassing affair like the Uruguay round which launched TRIPS and did a lot on services.
So the few remaining tethers that stop trade deals from being an exclusive community competence are being cut away with Lisbon. And it isn’t even clear that the next likely contents of the next WTO round will require unanimity - even under the current rules.
Of course, in reality the obstacle to a WTO deal is nothing to do with there being one member state "vetoing" an ambitious offer from the EU - but a whole raft of protectionist member states with more than enough clout to block progress.

Update from Megan Davin
Last winter, I received an Adventure Scholarship from Flyin’ Ryan. This scholarship was used to help fund my 6-week cross-country road trip. But several months later I realize it has done way more than that. The scholarship gave me the opportunity to live the dream that I had been imagining. After getting back home I realized that I needed to make some life changes and move out west. I am writing from Colorado.
“A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown.”
As kids we were always trying new things and stepping out of our comfort zones. The older we get the easier and more convenient it becomes to stay put and avoid change. But we need to step outside those comfort zones to grow and learn.
At the end of June I stepped out of my comfort zone to move cross-country for a job in order to advance my career the way I want to see it going. I left family friends and ten years of memories in Vermont- it’s not easy, but I have Kit (my dog) to keep me company and to talk to when I get lonely. I have had to make new friends, meet lots of new people, and remember lots of people’s names. Sometimes I’m so excited for this change I can’t contain my excitement and other times I wish I stayed. But it’s that leap of faith that I know will work out and I just need to keep reminding myself of that.
I have to think back to my childhood where everything is scary and new and just go with it, not afraid to fail but encouraged to LIVE. I am so very proud to be a member of the Flyin’ Ryan Team. The goal of this scholarship is to EXPOSE adventurers to Ryan’s Principles for Living. INSPIRE adventurers to craft their own set of core principles for living and to ACT on their core principles as the means through which they shape their attitude and engage in life.
This winter I am going to be spending and living my first winter “out west” learning to love, respect and appreciate new and big mountains. I also have more time to freelance write, which is my passion in life. I like to think of myself as a dynamic human being, with a passion and love for the mountains and skiing. I love living every minute of every day from taking the time to explore outdoors to taking time to write about all of my experiences. I always find a way to spend time in nature every single day.
If I ever feel lost with how things are going in life I stop and read through Ryan’s Core Principles to remind myself of what I am doing and why.

In the race to miniaturize electronic components, researchers are challenged with a major problem: the smaller or the faster your device, the more challenging it is to cool it down. One solution to improve the cooling is to use materials with very high thermal conductivity, such as graphene, to quickly dissipate heat and thereby cool down the circuits.
At the moment, however, potential applications are facing a fundamental problem: how does heat propagate inside these sheets of materials that are no more than a few atoms thick?
In a study published in Nature Communications, a team of EPFL researchers has shed new light on the mechanisms of thermal conductivity in graphene and other two-dimensional materials. They have demonstrated that heat propagates in the form of a wave, just like sound in air.
This was up to now a very obscure phenomenon observed in few cases at temperatures close to the absolute zero.Their simulations provide a valuable tool for researchers studying graphene, whether to cool down circuits at the nanoscale, or to replace silicon in tomorrow's electronics.
If it has been difficult so far to understand the propagation of heat in two-dimensional materials, it is because these sheets behave in unexpected ways compared to their three-dimensional cousins. In fact, they are capable of transferring heat with extremely limited losses, even at room temperature.
Generally, heat propagates in a material through the vibration of atoms. These vibrations are are called "phonons", and as heat propagates though a three-dimensional material,, these phonons keep colliding with each other, merging together, or splitting.
All these processes can limit the conductivity of heat along the way. Only under extreme conditions, when temperature goes close to the absolute zero (-200 0C or lower), it is possible to observe quasi-lossless heat transfer.
A wave of quantum heat
The situation is very different in two dimensional materials, as shown by researchers at EPFL. Their work demonstrates that heat can propagate without significant losses in 2D even at room temperature, thanks to the phenomenon of wave-like diffusion, called "second sound".
In that case, all phonons march together in unison over very long distances.
"Our simulations, based on first-principles physics, have shown that atomically thin sheets of materials behave, even at room temperature, in the same way as three-dimensional materials at extremely low temperatures" says Andrea Cepellotti, the first author of the study.
"We can show that the thermal transport is described by waves, not only in graphene but also in other materials that have not been studied yet," explains Cepellotti. "This is an extremely valuable information for engineers, who could exploit the design of future electronic components using some of these novel two-dimensional materials properties."

Australia-Tazmania: From April 28, 2022, all seed for sowing imports into Australia, from all countries, will require a phytosanitary certificate. The only exclusion is for restricted seed species that require growth in post entry quarantine on arrival in Australia, or seeds imported for research purposes.
This is a requirement of seeds for sowing to protect against khapra beetle.
The specific information explaining the phytosanitary requirements can be found on the Departments website: Requirements for seeds for sowing to protect against khapra beetle.
This AQIS resource provides a “Permitted Seed for Sowing” listing. Very user friendly. Check your Genus-species before you order. If you have questions, they give straight forward answers to email queries within a day or two.
IMHO, all nation state agriculture governmental entities should use this as a template to prevent confusion and needless frustration for both importers and exporters. Really, its a no-brainer.
New Zealand: Not all seed require Phytosanitary Certificate. Keep in mind some Genus require an import permit from the NZ government. Here is the link to NZ’s Seed for Sowing regs. More countries should adopt this format. https://www.mpi.govt.nz/dmsdocument/1151-Seeds-for-Sowing-Import-Health-Standard
USA Customers: All seed and plant import require a Phytosanitary Certificate. This is the best we could find in what is and what is not allowed for importation.

text: Stringfield, Thomas, a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, was born in Kentucky in 1796. He embraced religion when only eight years of age, and in his twelfth year removed to Alabama. In the War of 1812 he became a soldier under Gen. Jackson, and maintained his Christian character throughout. He joined the Tennessee Conference Nov. 10, 1816, and when the Holston Conference was set off he became a member of it. In 1825-26 the Gallagher controversy was at its zenith, and Mr. Stringfield felt called upon to defend Methodism against the caricatures and slanders of its enemies, which he did at the expense of great labor and of thousands of dollars. In 1828 he obtained leave to be without an appointment, owing to feeble health. From 1829 to 1832 he was agent for the Holston Conference Seminary, and in 1836 was elected editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, and filled that office until 1841. He was agent of the American Bible Society from 1844 to 1849. In 1852 he was agent for the Strawberry Plains College. He was made supernumerary in 1853, effective in 1854, superannuated again in 1856, and thus continued until his death, July 12, 1858. See Minutes of Annual Conferences of the M.E. Church, South, 1858, p. 25.

So today, as I was studying for my Abstract Art class (outside of course - I'm not letting summer school get in the way of having a tan), I got a little distracted by this weird looking bug that kept flying around me. I decided to watch him and his moves, in order to catch him before he landed on/bit me. He buzzed around for a bit and then dove right into the grass. He disappeared. I was immediately reminded of that Ants movie from my childhood, and again fascinated by the idea of seeing the world as a small creature, or even seeing the world from different perspectives. That's what brought this little series about. Some images are pretty easily recognizable, but perhaps they are things that we don't usually look at or, at least don't look at from these angles. Enjoy!

The weather outside has me wanting to do another green scenery photoshoot. This one here is an oldie, and you probably recognize the dress and the model from a previous blog post, thats because this is from the same series. Things that I love about this photo is the different shades of green, the bare foot being tickled by grass, and the sun's backlighting. Hopefully the weather keeps up, cause I'm inspired to do a similar looking shoot soon!!

The Cannes Film Festival has made public this morning the lineup for its 72nd annual edition which includes the Brazilian film Bacurau, the third feature by director Kleber Mendonça Filho (Neighboring Sounds, Aquarius), as the only Latin American entry in the official competition of the French film festival.
Bacurau—co-written and co-directed by Juliano Dornelles, who had previously worked as production designer in Mendonça Filho’s previous films—marks the Brazilian filmmaker's second participation at Cannes’ main competition after Aquarius in 2016.
Starring Sônia Braga and German actor Udo Kier and described as a sinister genre piece, Bacurau tells the story of a filmmaker who decides to travel to a village in the interior of Brazil to make a documentary. As days go by, he begins to discover that the locals are not exactly what they appear to be and hide dangerous secrets.
The festival will also host the world premiere of the documentary film Maradona directed by the British filmmaker Asif Kapadia screening in the main slate as an out of competition title, and the Argentine documentary Que Sea Ley by Juan Solanas following the feminist movement and public demonstration in the South American country to legalize abortion, which will be shown as a special screening.
The 72nd edition of the Cannes Film Festival, will take place May 14-25 in France.

But Meyers prefers to approach Folk Alliance International as an altruistic endeavor.
"In a lot of ways, we see ourselves as stewards of the word folk," he says. "Our definition of folk is broad, and we're OK with that. I love arguing with people who have degrees in folklore and ethnomusicology about what folk is. I know a guy who believes the day Alan Lomax turned on a tape recorder is the day traditional folk music died.
"It's great that you want Rev. Gary Davis' style to live on, but in my world, every single day marks a new day of traditional music," he says. "The Beatles — they fit every criteria of traditional music. Anywhere you go, everybody can sing Beatles songs. You can sit down anywhere on the planet and play a Bob Marley song and people will know the words. That's tradition. To me, that's folk."

The TKTS ticket booth in Times Square, run by the Theater Development Fund, is well-known as one of the best ways to find inexpensive seats to a Broadway matinee, but it has never been a particularly comfortable or lovely setting to get tickets.
That will soon change. The booth is temporarily at the Marriott Marquis Hotel while Duffy Square, the traffic island bounded by West 46th and 47th Streets and Broadway and Seventh Avenue, is being renovated. That renovation
has just been honored by the New York City Art Commission for excellence in design.
“The result of a partnership between the city and three private entities – the Times Square Alliance, the Theater Development Fund and the Coalition for Father Duffy – the design integrates an expanded plaza, amphitheater-like steps and a new TKTS booth to provide much-needed open space,” the Art Commission wrote in its citation for its 25th annual Awards for Excellence in Design.
The 10 winning projects will be on view at the American Institute of Architects’ Center for Architecture from July 23 to Sept. 1 were selected from hundreds of submissions that the Art Commission reviewed in 2006. Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and the commission’s chairman, James P. Stuckey, honored the winners in a ceremony at the Rose Center for Earth and Space at the American Museum of Natural History. Mike Friedlander, the Department of Sanitation’s director of special projects, received a special award as well.
The other winners are:
- Construction of the Glen Oaks Branch of the Queens Library, 256-04 Union Turnpike, Queens;
- Construction of a visitor center at Poe Park, Grand Concourse between Kingsbridge Road and East 192nd Street, Bronx;
- Installation of “Timecast” art project and streetscape improvements, in the Columbia Waterfront District, at Van Brunt Street, DeGraw Street and Columbia Street, Brooklyn;
- Construction of Rescue Company 3 fire house, 1655 Washington Avenue, Bronx;
- Construction of CaVaLa Park, including the installation of a sculptural fountain by Elyn Zimmerman, at Canal Street, Varick Street and Laight Street, Manhattan;
- Construction of E.M.S. Station 50, Queens Hospital Center, Goethals Avenue and Parsons Boulevard, Queens;
- Construction of a playground, Seaside Nature Park, Cleveland Avenue, Nelson Avenue, Tennyson Drive and the shoreline, Staten Island;
- Construction of the Department of Homeless Services Family Center, 151 East 151st Street, Bronx; and
- Designs for prototypical “street furniture” — bus-stop shelters, news stands and public toilets — to be installed citywide by Cemusa, a Spanish company.

The nice thing about artists returning to Eurovision is that a lot of our work is already done. Case in point: Joci Pápai. Just read the bio we wrote when he represented Hungary in 2017, then note that he finished 8th in the Grand Final that year.
Of course, that was then. What about now?
“Az én apám” is a gentle ballad about Joci’s dad. (That’s two songs in a row from Hungary about fathers. Wonder if there’s something going on there?) It’s a lovely song, but it doesn’t strike a chord with us the way “Origo” did. Maybe we are being unfair comparing the two songs, but we think his latest effort lacks the spark that made his previous effort so successful. If he wasn’t an artist the audience was already familiar with, we wonder if he would have made it out of Hungary’s A Dal competition.
We will be thinking a lot about artists coming back for a second bite of the apple, mainly because Joci, Nevena Božović from Moje 3, Sergey Lazarev, and Serhat are all returning to Eurovision this year. They likely aspire to be like Dima Bilan, who finished second in 2006, then came back and won in 2008.
However, a lot of returning performers often find their second go-around isn’t quite as successful as their first one. For example, Elitsa Todorova and Stoyan Yankoulov snagged Bulgaria’s best finish to date in 2007, but missed the Final when they came back in 2013. There wasn’t a lot wrong with “Samo Shampioni,” but it sure wasn’t “Water.” We’d love to say we got Dima Bilan vibes out of Joci this year, but we’re feeling more Elitsa and Stoyan.

Last year, Starbucks came under fire because they asked a couple of Negroes to leave a store because they loitered without ordering anything. This was deemed racist by the national Jew news media prompting Starbucks to change their policy and allow anybody to wander into their stores and loiter without purchasing something.
We predicted that this would eventually cause many Starbucks shops in urban areas to be overwhelmed with homeless resulting in a decline in business. This has indeed happened. One Starbucks in San Diego was forced to close for this exact reason.
A Starbucks that played a key role in redeveloping North Park will soon serve its last drink.
Carly Clegg is a regular at the Starbucks next to The Observatory North Park.
“It’s a bummer,” said Clegg.
The collection of notes posted inside the Starbucks tell the story: Customers bidding farewell to their Starbucks. It will close up for good Saturday. The apparent reason for the closing is one regular Robert Green knows well.
Several customers who have asked employees why it’s closing have been told an increase in homeless individuals are turning off customers, leading to a decline in sales.
“There are people camped out there all day. I noticed an uptick starting about five years ago,” said Green.
“When I have family and friends that come in, they walk by and say, ‘Let’s go to another one,'” Clegg added.
The closing comes some seven months after Starbucks announced customers would no longer be required to buy something to use the restroom or hang out. Critics said the policy could attract more homeless.
Yeah, this was not difficult to predict. The main reason people go to Starbucks is for the atmosphere. It gives people a place to work on their laptop while on the road. The overpriced coffee is meant to scare away niggers and other undesirables who can’t afford to pay the high coffee prices.
But when you allow anybody to hang out in the store without purchasing anything, it effectively ruins the atmosphere that drew people to the stores in the first place.
Ultimately though, I don’t really give a shit because Starbucks is a Jewish company. This is just a case of Jews Jewing themselves and their franchise owners.

- Add in the avocado, water, basil, parsley, onion, tahini, and vinegar or lemon juice. Process until smooth.
- Add salt and pepper and just a slosh of sweetener.
- If it’s too tart for you, try adding more tahini, water, or a slosh of olive oil.
This beautifully green dressing is good cold on salads or as a dip for crudités, but I love it over quinoa and steamed vegetables, perhaps with a bit of veggie burger crumbled over the top.

Officials in Orange cancelled the township council meeting Monday night out of respect for Capt. William Boggier, who suffered serious injuries in a vehicle crash earlier in the day.
A city spokesman said Tuesday morning that Boggier was in the ICU at University Hospital in Newark. He was in critical condition.
Woodbridge police confirmed the crash occurred as Boggier was riding his motorcycle in a funeral procession there. All other questions were referred to the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office, which is handling the investigation into the crash.
A prosecutor's spokesman did not immediately respond to questions emailed Tuesday morning.
This story will be updated as more information becomes available.

As leaders, we quickly learn that much of the success of our organization depends on our abilities to attract, motivate, inspire and retain skilled, committed people. Several newspaper articles over the last week gave me some special insights into how to do it right. From Ahmet Ertegan and Tom Friedman I learned that trusting in our people to do the right thing is essential. Walter Isaacson used lessons from Steve Jobs to point out the critical role of intuition and attention to the needs of customers. Ross Douthat reminds us that leaders have much to be humble about.
See what you think:
From the Wall Street Journal review of Robert Greenfield’s new book, The Last Sultan, on Ahmet Ertegun, the famous record company executive:
Ertegun founded Atlantic Records in 1947 with his friend and fellow jazz and blues lover Herb Abramson, though the major shareholder was the Ertegun family dentist, Vahdi Sabit. On the original three-page contract, the name ‘Horizon Records, Inc.’ is crossed out and replaced by “Atlantic Recording Corporation.” Ertegun explained: “The name Atlantic was probably about our eightieth choice, because every name we came up with . . . had already been taken. . . . It wasn’t a name we were crazy about—it was so generic. There are so many Atlantics, A&P and all that, but finally we said, who cares what we call it?”
Ertegun could play plenty of angles, but his primary occupation was simply being out and about. David Geffen, the record executive and film producer, recalls asking Ertegun how to make money in music only to have the older man stand up and shuffle across the floor. After Mr. Geffen says twice that he doesn’t get it, Ertegun finally says: “If you’re lucky, you bump into a genius and that makes you rich in the music business!”
No mention is made here of the thousands of non-starters that Ertegun must have encountered in his nightly prowls. His focus was on the geniuses, and once he found them he gave them free rein. Rather than try to shape his artists’ work to meet the desires of some perceived audience, as other executives did, Ertegun trusted the instincts of his artists as he trusted his own.
New York Times’ columnist Tom Friedman’s article titled “Help Wanted”:
We are present again at one of those great unravelings — just like after World War I, World War II and the cold war. But this time there was no war. All of these states have been pulled down from within — without warning. Why?
The main driver, I believe, is the merger of globalization and the Information Technology revolution. Both of them achieved a critical mass in the first decade of the 21st century that has resulted in the democratization — all at once — of so many things that neither weak states nor weak companies can stand up against. We’ve seen the democratization of information, where everyone is now a publisher; the democratization of war-fighting, where individuals became superempowered (enough so, in the case of Al Qaeda, to take on a superpower); the democratization of innovation, wherein start-ups using free open-source software and “the cloud” can challenge global companies.
And, finally, we’ve seen what Mark Mykleby, a retired Marine colonel and former adviser to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, calls ‘the democratization of expectations’ — the expectation that all individuals should be able to participate in shaping their own career, citizenship and future, and not be constricted.
‘The days of leading countries or companies via a one-way conversation are over,” says Dov Seidman, the C.E.O. of LRN and the author of the book “How.” “The old system of ‘command and control’ — using carrots and sticks — to exert power over people is fast being replaced by ‘connect and collaborate’ — to generate power through people.” Leaders and managers cannot just impose their will, adds Seidman. “Now you have to have a two-way conversation that connects deeply with your citizens or customers or employees.”
A lot of C.E.O.’s will tell you that this shift has taken them by surprise, and they are finding it hard to adjust to the new power relationships with customers and employees.
“As power shifts to individuals,” argues Seidman, “leadership itself must shift with it — from coercive or motivational leadership that uses sticks or carrots to extract performance and allegiance out of people to inspirational leadership that inspires commitment and innovation and hope in people.”
An opinion piece in the New York Times by Walter Isaacson on Steve Jobs:
One of the questions I wrestled with when writing about Steve Jobs was how smart he was. On the surface, this should not have been much of an issue. You’d assume the obvious answer was: he was really, really smart. Maybe even worth three or four reallys. After all, he was the most innovative and successful business leader of our era and embodied the Silicon Valley dream writ large: he created a start-up in his parents’ garage and built it into the world’s most valuable company.
So was Mr. Jobs smart? Not conventionally. Instead, he was a genius. That may seem like a silly word game, but in fact his success dramatizes an interesting distinction between intelligence and genius. His imaginative leaps were instinctive, unexpected, and at times magical. They were sparked by intuition, not analytic rigor. Trained in Zen Buddhism, Mr. Jobs came to value experiential wisdom over empirical analysis. He didn’t study data or crunch numbers but like a pathfinder, he could sniff the winds and sense what lay ahead.
He told me he began to appreciate the power of intuition, in contrast to what he called “Western rational thought,” when he wandered around India after dropping out of college. “The people in the Indian countryside don’t use their intellect like we do,” he said. “They use their intuition instead … Intuition is a very powerful thing, more powerful than intellect, in my opinion. That’s had a big impact on my work.”
Mr. Jobs’s intuition was based not on conventional learning but on experiential wisdom. He also had a lot of imagination and knew how to apply it. As Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.”
The ability to merge creativity with technology depends on one’s ability to be emotionally attuned to others. Mr. Jobs could be petulant and unkind in dealing with other people, which caused some to think he lacked basic emotional awareness. In fact, it was the opposite. He could size people up, understand their inner thoughts, cajole them, intimidate them, target their deepest vulnerabilities, and delight them at will. He knew, intuitively, how to create products that pleased, interfaces that were friendly, and marketing messages that were enticing.
Ross Douthat, Op-Ed columnist for the New York Times in a piece titled “Our Reckless Meritocracy”:
“In meritocracies, though, it’s the very intelligence of our leaders that creates the worst disasters. Convinced that their own skills are equal to any task or challenge, meritocrats take risks that lower-wattage elites would never even contemplate, embark on more hubristic projects, and become infatuated with statistical models that hold out the promise of a perfectly rational and frictionless world. (Or as Calvin Trillin put it in these pages, quoting a tweedy WASP waxing nostalgic for the days when Wall Street was dominated by his fellow bluebloods: “Do you think our guys could have invented, say, credit default swaps? Give me a break! They couldn’t have done the math.”)
Inevitably, pride goeth before a fall. Robert McNamara and the Vietnam-era whiz kids thought they had reduced war to an exact science. Alan Greenspan and Robert Rubin thought that they had done the same to global economics. The architects of the Iraq war thought that the American military could liberate the Middle East from the toils of history; the architects of the European Union thought that a common currency could do the same for Europe. And Jon Corzine thought that his investment acumen equipped him to turn a second-tier brokerage firm into the next Goldman Sachs, by leveraging big, betting big and waiting for the payoff.
What you see in today’s Republican primary campaign is a reaction to exactly these kinds of follies — a revolt against the ruling class that our meritocracy has forged, and a search for outsiders with thinner résumés but better instincts.
In place of reckless meritocrats, we don’t need feckless know-nothings. We need intelligent leaders with a sense of their own limits, experienced people whose lives have taught them caution. We still need the best and brightest, but we need them to have somehow learned humility along the way.”
What do you think? What did the above teach you about nonprofit leadership?

The Max Air flight arrived landed in the Nations capital around 7.11am on Friday, 4th March 2022.
According to reports, a total of 411 evacuees and consular staff were on the flight.

Great service with great food!! We will be back soon!
First time here and we loved it. Definitely coming back!!
Excellent experience!! Highly recommend.
Food was was good but certainly not enough. Wife’s sea bass was very small and could had more orzo and veggies. Steak frites was very small. For the price wish meal had more quantity.
Hello, Thank you very much for your feedback, it is so very important to us. This is how we can be helped in making adjustments and decisions in our operation. I'm very sorry about your overall poor experience. Were there things with the service that you can offer specifics on since the rating was so low?
Service was slow.
More variety needed with menu
Enjoyed sitting outdoors
Hello Sharon, I first want to thank you for giving Bake's Place a try, we do appreciate your business. I'm terribly sorry about your lackluster visit. This is absolutely not what we hope our guest's experience should be so we appreciate the feedback. While we are extremely short staffed we still pride ourselves on service so again, my apologies. As far as the menu variety goes, we always welcome input so I'm wondering what types of things you might want to see?
Good atmosphere - really good food - friendly Owner who is welcoming. The patio is a great place to eat when the weather is nice.
Huge outdoor eating area! Hidden gem inside downtown Bellevue
Bake's Place is, well, a great place. Though yestarday, food took a bit longer to make it to our table.
Outdoor dining space excellent. Dogs were welcomed to sit at our table. Appetizer menu best value.
Super speedy drinks, inventive fresh menu items, relaxed enjoyable atmosphere. First time at Bake’s and will definitely be back!
Great atmosphere, service, selection and food! Looking forward to visiting again.
Lisa was an amazing and active server. While the place was busy, we always felt attended to, accommodated, and engaged. We will return.
This place is always exceptional. Great service, great food abs drinks. Outside on the patio was very nice.
Best place in town, hands down! Would take all my family and friends here weekly!
Very surprised by high quality food!
Amazing outdoor seating and great service. For the price, it’s a relatively small portion size and not great value for your money. But it’s a great group atmosphere.
Food was okay, nothing special. Ambiance was chill and drinks were goo.
Great food and ambiance.
Great atmosphere and a cool place. Food selection is limited but dishes are unique and fun to try
Thanks for the kind words Lily, it means the world to us. We do change our menu frequently and have lots of daily specials so please come give us another try! Glad you enjoyed the vibe!
What a great place to meet with old and new friends to enjoy good food and drink and fellowship! Consistently wonderful!
Lisa, awesome service! Chris, owner?, thank you for checking in with us! Excellent outdoor dining and the service made up for the little wait.
Great food, nice ambience with the outdoor patio. service was a bit slow. Will be back!
I got confused when booking on open table. I clicked on high top and I did not want high top. I called immediately to correct my mistake and change to outside but when we got there, they had us at an indoor high top. We chilled out and waited for patio to open up and we moved outside. They were great about getting us to a table we wanted and enjoyed. Great spot!
First time eating there. Lovely SA receptionist really worked with us to get the best table for us! Great atmosphere - love that it’s a jazz/music place - great pics in entryway. Outside patio.looks lovely although we dined inside. Lovely waiter think he was the manager/owner but really attentive and friendly. Stage with piano and huge screen with interesting drone videos etc. cool vibe - food good but we were mainly in burger mode - so did not explore menu! Will definitely eat there again!! Parking easy below restaurant!
Excellent meal, ambience and service for a special occasion with guests in town! Thank you for everything.
Apparently the waitress was too busy. We run out of dressing and drinks, waited for quite a while to get her attention
Enjoyed our evening on the patio! Beautiful setting, great food, excellent drinks and so happy to see they had a great list of non-alcoholic drinks to choose from as well. The service was welcoming and attentive. No matter what staff was walking by our table, we were checked on to make sure we were doing ok. Would definitely recommend to everyone!
This is one of the best restaurants outside of Seattle. The food is filling, well-portioned, and delicious. The cocktails were unique and tasty. We were a mixed age group and everyone was raving by the end. If its on the menu when you go - the pork belly is melt-in-your-mouth and well worth the trip on its own.
Our server Lisa was so nice and knowledgeable about the menu. We had appetizers and all of them were good. The cocktail drinks were the best. Whiskey sour wasn’t on the menu, but my husband ordered it and it was delish. One of the best we had so far. Kudos to the bar tender that night. We will definely coming back
Great atmosphere, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Food was excellent and reasonably priced
Our server took excellent care of us and was ready with a number of drink suggestions based on our needs. The drinks were quick out and well made, the French fries may be the best I’ve ever had! So crisp and salty! The outdoor patio was beautiful and blankets are available for chillier members of the party
Loved everything about our first experience at Bake’s Place! My husband had the crispy garlic chicken and enjoyed it while I had the special, pasta Bolognese made with braised short ribs and that was to die for. I ate it all! The spring vegetable salad is a winner too. We can’t wait to go back when they are able to start having love music again.
Not a place I would return to
Most enjoyable place in downtown, in my opinion. Well managed.
Delicious ! Atmosphere relaxed and sophisticated. Service was perfect.
Great atmosphere for a group of people to enjoy food and drinks. The patio is wonderful!
Great overall experience, very accommodating staff. Not ideal for children, but great dinner option for couples seeking a good meal with drinks and music.
Great spot to hang out in downtown Bellevue. Nice casual ambiance.
Perfect gem that I discovered. Tons of outdoor Soave, had live music inside. Our waitress was exceptional , can’t wait to go back

I thank my hon. Friend for introducing the subject of that particular concordat, although I think that I could give him examples of some rather more modern and ecclesiastical concordats. At least we knew the basis of those concordats, and the way in which they could ultimately be enforced in constitutional terms. What we have here are documents—I call them documents, but I do not even know whether they will be documents. In any event, they will be constitutional eccentricities which, at present, have no status, and no basis that we know of on which they can be enforced.
Are the concordats unilaterally breachable? If one side decides that a concordat is no longer a concordat, will that be the end of the matter? If so, is any remedy available to the other side? Will there be financial implications? I understand that the concordats could well be used to decide matters such as the resourcing of the assembly under clause 80 or, indeed, the workings of the Barnett formula. If they have financial implications, will they be open to inspection by the Public Accounts Committee of the House of Commons—and, if so, on what basis, if they are not born of the House of Commons?
Let us come to the nub of the issue. How can someone who is not a representative of the United Kingdom be delegated, on the basis of an informal agreement, as a representative of the United Kingdom in the Council of Ministers? We are told that that will be one of the purposes of the concordats. How can that be done on the basis of, if necessary, no more than the signature of an official?
Will there be two types of concordat? Will there be concordats that are essentially between officials and, therefore, theoretically, under the terms of the Bill, between members of the same civil service, and concordats which, being between separate Administrations, constitute a very different animal? That, too, will arise in relation to Europe. I understand that concordats will be drawn up between two Administrations in order to allow one to be represented on the delegation of the other, which will be based on the advice of civil servants common to both—civil servants who, I believe, will move between their offices in Cardiff and the Cabinet Office in London in order to formulate the policy that will be taken to the Council of Ministers.
A series of strange, sinister beings called concordats are being introduced— [Horn. MEMBERS: "Sinister?"] Hon. Members may smile, but it takes only one mouse to begin to chew away the rope that holds a building together. I see the beginnings of a deliberate attempt to bypass the House of Commons increasingly. We are starting with a few small concordats; five years later, we shall find that more and more is being done by concordat.
In the absence of answers, there is only one way in which the House can continue to control what is happening here: requiring all concordats to being brought to both Houses in draft form for approval. If that is done, we shall have a chance of protecting the interests of the House.

Almost €11,000 worth of fines were issued to people in Cavan and Monaghan who misused disabled parking spaces last year.
The number of people caught by Gardaí in the local division is up over 100 per cent since 2017.
The standard fine for parking or stopping is a disabled bay is €150.
In 2019, Gardaí in the Cavan-Monaghan division issued 71 such fines, and collected €10,960 from offenders.
That's according to figures released under the Freedom of Information Act.
This is up by over 50 per cent in 2018, where €7,065 was collected for 55 offences.
In 2017, there were only 33 people caught, and €2,760 worth of fines taken in.
Richard Ryder from the Disabled Drivers Association says a range of excuses are made for parking in a disabled spot including 'I'll only be a minute', which he says is the most common, 'I'm getting my chinese', and 'there's no other spaces' among others which he highlights here:
Gardaí collected €471,000 from 3,664 motorists who broke the law last year.

To treat orthorexia, you must focus on the intention as part of the eating behaviour of sufferers and on the authenticity of eating. Part two of our interview with the dietician Nicolas Sahuc.
What are the root causes of orthorexia?
To understand the root causes of orthorexia, we must focus on more the intention behind the sufferer’s actions, instead of on his behaviour. It only becomes a real disease, when orthorexia dictates the way you think, preventing the individual from functioning “normally”, which in turn has an impact on the sufferer’s life.
In our consultations, we became aware of the fact that orthorexia is facilitated by the nutritional discourse of certain vloggers and coachers, people who believe in “restoring a balance”. But these individuals are not necessarily scientifically or medically trained.
Orthorexia is also fuelled by various dietary fears: excessive food security, industrialisation, a lack of authentic, too much information and disinformation, body images that are foisted upon us by publicity, the fact that certain health professionals do not listen to patients, scientific (which constantly raises new questions) and medical (which better repairs the body) progress and so on.
This “crisis of right and wrong” and of something that is essentially an abstraction creates a lot of uncertainty, making people worry about the risks they run when eating. Paradoxically enough, reducing the risk only makes the fear of this risk worse. In other words, orthorexia slowly sinks into a spiral of an imaginary risk, from which it is difficult to extricate yourself.
How to treat orthorexia?
First of all, you have to establish an accurate diagnosis and avoid making the wrong diagnosis. Any person who is obsessed with clean eating, whether for ethical, philosophical or political reasons, exhibits pathological behaviour. Orthorexia has many traits in common with OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) or anorexia, both of which require special medical treatment and guidance.
In effect, anyone can suffer from orthorexia, whether you are small, tall, fat or thin. It may occur before, at the same time, or after an eating disorder.
It is also very hard to detect, especially because the issue may potentially resolve itself, often under pressure of the people who live with the sufferer.
Our analysis of the intention behind the behaviour revealed that certain orthorexics feel neither excluded, nor do they feel that they are missing out on something. On the contrary even, this lifestyle choice makes them feel happier.
The best dietary approach therefore consists of avoiding any discussions about the orthorexic’s convictions (which are too difficult to decipher anyway). Instead the emphasis should be on an explanatory dietary approach, based on non-normative nutritional knowledge, on an understanding of how the body works. This explains what to do and also offers a standard set of information about how the body works.
This basic information usually reassures the sufferer. Obviously, this should be combined with cognitive and behavioural therapy, focusing on obsessions and convictions, to help alter the quality of life. Everything depends on the evolution of psychiatric comorbidities. Where possible, a day hospital admission in a treatment centre for eating disorders with a differentiated diagnosis is the best option for a good follow-up.

I recently borrowed my daughter's rice cooker - had a great time with it.
I cooked rice, of course, also barley and brown(green) lentils -
separately, using the same 2 parts water:1 part grain or beans. All
turned out fine.
Then I decided to try black beans. Brought them to a boil with water to
cover an inch or so, turned off the machine and let them soak for
drained some of the water and added more to cover by an inch, turned on
the machine - covered the top with a tea towel to catch any mess (of
there was a bit)
Lo and behold: cooked black beans (but the pan liner will never be the
same. Black bean dye is strong.
Today I'm trying garbanzoes and then white navy beans. Garbanzoes are
cooking as I write. For this experiment, I soaked the beans overnight,
then added them (one kind at a time) to the rice cooker, again with enough
water to cover by about an inch.
Then I freeze the stuff in about 2-3 cup portions - for "instant"
ingredients when I actually feel like cooking.

Recycle plastic waste
Building materials or how to recycle plastic waste on a large scale?
Furniture, Home (plastic brick), Synthetic Floor or Road… Here is a list of companies that give a second life to our plastic waste.
Furniture 100% recycled plastic
The company Plastic Whale has the mission to stop the plastic waste in our waters on a global scale. For this, they have successfully demonstrated that our plastic waste has a real economic value.
From the plastic waste collected on the canals of Amsterdam, they were able to recycle them into office furniture and boats. Boats subsequently used during their outings to pick up plastic wast.
The New Raw is a research and design studio based in Rotterdam. They are working on projects to set up a circular economy through the recycling of plastic waste and 3D printing.
They showed through the Print Your City project in Thessaloniki, Greece and Amsterdam, the possibility of using the city’s plastic waste for the construction of public spaces with 3D robotic printing.
Thanks to Precious Plastic‘s open-source sharing, it is now possible for everyone to create their own alternative recycling system. Even set up your business around a product made from recycled plastic.
How to set up a collection point, a recycling space, transform plastic waste into new products or how to build a network in your city? Everything is accessible thanks to Precious Plastic’s global Open Source network.
Recycled plastic House
Conceptos Plasticos has started manufacturing recycled plastic bricks for home construction. This innovation has enabled the establishment of a circular economy and the creation of shelters in war zones (Guapi in May 2015).
The By-Fusion company makes building bricks from your waste. This provides a positive alternative, reducing housing deficits and the problem of plastic pollution present in developing countries.
The company JD Composites has developed a house made from more than 600,000 plastic bottles.
But this is not the only remarkable point of this new innovation. This house can withstand winds of over 500 km / h and can withstand a higher than normal weight compared to traditional construction.
Ecodom is a company dedicated to the construction of ecological prefab housing. Their products are developed with the recycling of plastics and cardboard, which both reduces waste in the environment and build housing with a positive environmental impact. They have the capacity to recycle 15,000 kg of solid waste, which is equivalent to 1,200 prefabricated walls per week.
FabBRICK : building bricks made from recycled textiles. These bricks, which can allow the production of insulating partitions, can also be chosen in different colors depending on the recycled clothing.
More than 15,000 bricks have been made to date and used to fit out ready-to-wear boutiques. This corresponds to more than 8 tonnes of garments recycled in their workshops.

There team of engineers will support you through training, study, and maintenance programs to properly use the machine and setup a safe and long-lasting recycling ecosystem.
Synthetic Floor Made from Fishing Nets, and Recycled Shoes
Fishing nets are most often lost or abandoned at sea, which ravage the marine ecosystem. Their presence in our oceans is called “ghost fishing”. These drifting nets catch fish or other marine species, causing death on their way.
Now, thanks to the Net-Works program, local people can recover and sell their used nets. These nets will also experience a second life in the form of carpet tiles through the company Interface which enjoys a source of completely recycled nylon.
Nike Grind materials are created from the recycling of their sports shoes. Their various components (rubber, foam, fiber, leather and textile) are separated and crushed into a wide range of pellets, to create new products such as: new footwear and clothing as well as sports and play surfaces.
Road made from recycled plastic
KWS, a subsidiary of VolkerWessels, is working hard to create the next generation of roads: PlasticRoad. Not only is its modular design lightweight, faster to install and more durable, PlasticRoad also provides a solution to a global environmental problem: the growing mountain of plastic waste.
Rajagopalan Vasudevan is an Indian engineer and chemist nicknamed “Plastic Man”. He invented a bitumen based on molten plastics (bottles, packaging and plastic bags). The coating of its roads contains 10% recycled plastic, which after eight years allows such a synthetic road to be only slightly degraded, unlike conventional roads.
