We’ve lived in the West End for almost six years and it wasn’t until a few months ago that we discovered the gem that is Wild Garlic. The entrance is sometimes tucked behind those waiting in line for Kintaro Ramen next door (another must-try place), but once you find that door and enter the cozy dining space, your senses get walloped with garlicky aromas.
The name doesn’t lie, if you don’t like garlic you may have a tough time with the menu as everything from appetizers and desserts contain garlic, even the signature Wild Garlic Martini that features asiago and garlic-stuffed olives.
Returning so much since we made our first visit, the table near the front window was designated “our table” by the friendly proprietor the last time we stopped in. Our favourite menu picks (for sharing) are the Slowly Roasted Candied Garlic with Crostini, Grilled Asparagus with Reduced Ginger Balsamic & Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Gnocchi with Garlic, Roasted Walnut & Parmesan Cheese (my absolute favourite), Wok Seared Garlic Butter Black Tiger Prawns, and Sauteed Ginger Beef with Green Beans & Sweet Pepper (John’s favourite). We mix and match each visit.
We have only ever ordered from the tapas menu so I cannot speak to the entrees but we’ve been very happy with the taste, flavours, and the service. Ordering three tapas (that range between $6 and $10) is plenty for us to share. The entire place sits maybe 30 people max so it’s not conducive to big groups, but it’s a great date spot as it offers an intimate setting. The kitchen is partially open so garlic is constantly infusing the air and there are seats at the bar in case you’d just like to come in for a drink. It’s a great local hole-in-the-wall bistro that is devoid of pomp and pretension.
I’ve recommended Wild Garlic to several people and each time I post on Foursquare or Twitter announcing that we’re there (or have been there) I always get positive comments in return. Next time you’re in the West End, be sure to check out this garlic-packed treasure at 792 Denman.

Border crossers and illegal aliens ought to be arrested if they use arrest warrants as a form of identification at United States airports, Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) says.
For the last 12 months, President Joe Biden has overseen the release of hundreds of thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. interior. Many, as Breitbart News has detailed, have been flown into the U.S. — costing Americans at least $340 million in the process.
Part of the operation includes allowing border crossers and illegal aliens to bypass standard Transportation Security Administration (TSA) photo ID requirements that American citizens are required to abide by.
Instead, border crossers and illegal aliens are allowed to board domestic commercial flights using arrest warrants, federal custody booking records, and deportation orders as their IDs to get past TSA agents.
Daines, who filed legislation this week to ban the practice, said border crossers and illegal aliens ought to be arrested at airport checkpoints rather than boarding U.S.-bound flights.
Daines said in a statement:
It’s pretty simple — if an illegal immigrant presents their own arrest warrant as a form of ID, they should be immediately arrested, not cleared by TSA to hop on a plane in the United States. The fact this is even an issue is beyond outrageous. This is a threat to our national security and it must be stopped immediately.
Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) filed identical legislation in the House. Malliotakis said in a statement:
If we learned anything from the September 11 attacks, it’s that our federal agencies must be diligent in screening passengers to ensure those flying don’t pose a terrorist or criminal threat to themselves or other passengers on board,” Allowing illegal immigrants, particularly those with arrest and deportation warrants, to board domestic or international flights is a public safety and national security risk of the highest extreme and against the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission. My legislation ensures those actively wanted by law enforcement don’t fly. Instead of aiding and abetting criminals, TSA should be turning these fugitives into the nearest law enforcement facility. [Emphasis added]
In all of 2021, more than two million border crossers and illegal aliens arrived at the southern border. More than 530,000 of those arrivals were released into the U.S. interior as nearly 45,000 were put on commercial domestic flights and flown into the country, often free of charge.

Duvet Cover From Sheets – Duvet is a kind of bedding consisting of a snug flat bag filled with down, feathers, wool, silk or an artificial varied, and typically protected with a detachable cowl, analogous to a pillow and pillowcase. Sleepers sometimes use a canopy with out a primary mattress sheet, as the quilt cowl can readily be eliminated and laundered as typically as the underside sheet.
Duvet Cover From Sheets
Duvets originated in rural Europe and have been full of the down feathers of geese or geese. The highest quality is taken from the eider duck, acknowledged for its effectiveness as a thermal insulator.
In Australian English, a cover can be known as a doona. In American English, it might be known as a comforter; nevertheless, a comforter is generally a barely fully totally different kind of bedding that’s not as thick, does not have a cover, and is commonly used over a high sheet.
A duvet cowl is a canopy for a canopy. The cover cowl protects cowl throughout use.
Duvet covers steadily have an ornamental carry out on the mattress, allowing for the change of pattern or design for varied occasions, or to serve totally different features; for example, a heavier quilt cowl is also used all through colder seasons.
- Twin/Twin XL: Duvet Cover 66” x 90”
- Full/Queen: Duvet Cover 90” x 92”
- King/Cali King: Duvet Cover 106” x 92”
Mass-produced cover covers are usually made out of cotton or a mix of cotton and polyester and may very well be simply eradicated to scrub at dwelling, whereas a canopy may very well be expensive and troublesome to scrub. Duvet covers is also constituted of two sheets or panels of fabric sewn collectively.
A contemporary cover, like a sleeping bag, perhaps filled with down or feathers of various high quality and worth, or silk, wool, cotton, or synthetic fibers harking back to polyester batting.
Duvets can cut back the complexity of constructing a mattress, as they are often utilized with no prime sheet, blankets or quilts or different mattress covers. Duvets could also be made hotter than blankets with out turning into heavy. The cover itself fits proper right into a particularly made cowl, usually of cotton or a cotton-polyester combine. The quilt cowl could be eradicated and laundered as sometimes as the underside sheet and pillowcases. The cowl itself is also cleaned relatively extra not typically, and relying on its contents, would possibly require specialist dry cleansing.
How To Care:
- Machine wash in heat water on light cycle.
- Use solely non-chlorine bleach, if wanted.
- Tumble dry on low warmth. Warm iron as wanted.
While a comforter is basically the similar as a canopy when it comes to improvement, it is used considerably in a different way. In the United States, comforters are used on prime of the flat sheet, typically with no cowl.
So gentle – We have had our cover cowl for nearly a 12 months now, and couldn’t be happier with it. I simply remembered that I meant to jot down a assessment, as I’m on the positioning to analysis shopping for a second one, for when the opposite is within the wash. We don’t use a high sheet on our mattress, so the softness of the cover cowl makes a giant distinction to us. The customer support was additionally superior– the order shipped shortly and was packaged fantastically with little or no plastic which I liked. I used to be so pleased to discover a Canadian firm offering natural bedding.
Luxurious! I bought the sheet units, additional pillowcases, and cover covers. They are stunning and really feel pretty and gentle. The solely downside is I’ve to iron it after washing and drying and sure I’ve high of the road laundry/dryer machines. Maybe somebody can provide me some ideas.

UBE stabilizes results and fights the virus with an investment of 49 million euros
The president of the Japanese chemical company, Bruno de BiÃšvre, shows "relative optimism" despite the pandemic and is committed to research and the 'know-how' to continue growing
The Japanese chemical company UBE Corporation Europe, based in Castellón, look optimistically to the future despite the pandemic global coronavirus health. The president of UBE, Bruno de BiÃšvre, stated on Tuesday that the company maintains intact its investment plan, which includes a 60 million euros for the 2019-2020 triennium of those that remain to be invested 49 million for the next two years, and spoke of a relative optimism thanks to the achievement of the stabilization of the economic results.
We continue with investment projects, which will focus on the energy efficiency, the renewal of equipment and the improvement of infrastructures, ”said the president of UBE. Everything to face the future with confidence from the hand of research because, in these difficult moments, we must continue to develop and solve the new problems that are generated, always investing in know-how and value creation, stressed De BiÃšvre.
The president of UBE Corporation Europe offered this Tuesday the results of the last fiscal year in a telematic press conference for the pandemic in which the director of the company, Jaime Sanjuanbenito, also participated.
The 2019 results show the beginning of a some cooling after two good years due to the global situation, “said the president of UBE.
Specifically, the Japanese chemical company achieved consolidated sales of 428 million euros and a profit after tax of 19 million euros in its 2019 financial year.
Breathás, group employment grew 4% until reaching the figure of 597 people, of which 539 correspond to the two production centers of the province, that is, Castellón and Almassora.
Thus, the figures show that the consolidated business volume of UBE Corporation Europe fell by 3% at the end of its last fiscal year, that is, as of March 31, 2020. Â «The decline in sales, Ebitda and the profit after tax has been due to the falling prices international caprolactam and nylon, the main product lines, as well as the decline in the general demand by the market, “pointed out from the chemical company.
The president of UBE, Bruno de BiÃšvre, also emphasized the employment generated by the company in the province of CastellÃ³n as well as its stability.

In this sense, it should be remembered that since the chemical sector is officially classified as a strategic activity, UBE maintained its normal functioning during the first state of alarm that was decreed by the Government last March.
In relation to the current UBE fiscal year, which will end on March 31, 2021, andl impact of the pandemic and its effect on global markets has been felt with relative intensity since April, although the company maintains your investment plan for the 2019-2021 triennium, with a forecast of 60 million for the Castellón and Almassora production centers, of which more than 11 have materialized during the last year.

Jill Quigg has been arrested for allegedly breaking into a Boston home with her neighbour and then trying to blame it on another man.
The Gone Baby Gone actress was arrested on Friday on burglary charges after police were called to a residence in the Quincy neighbourhood following the incident.
Quigg and friend Georgios Keskinidis told police that they saw a black man break into the home and leave with a flat screen TV and computer printer, according to The AP.
"That's when the suspects said they all of a sudden became crime fighters," said Lieutenant Jack Sullivan of the local police.
The officer said that the pair claimed to have chased the suspect to a getaway vehicle but were unable to stop him from leaving the scene. However, several witnesses then alleged that Quigg and Keskinidis were the guilty parties.
They later pleaded not guilty to "breaking and entering during the day, larceny of more than $250 and wanton destruction of property worth more than $250" and were released on personal recognisance.


Updated: Jan 31, 2021
The biggest question of the last week is currently being asked around the world: Did Robinhood, a retail trading platform used by millions, make the right decision when they halted trading on various stocks that were clearly being pumped by retail traders (and certainly institutional investors, hedge funds, and high net worth individuals who saw a clear chance to make money) despite no actual increase in underlying value?
Robinhood, in a moment that will likely define the company for years to come, probably made the wrong choice.
In its discretion as a private company, when it limited and in some cases entirely halted trading on several stocks, Robinhood effectively chose winners and losers. The rest of the market that was still allowed to trade the stock did so to the detriment of those who could not buy or sell.
Some investors who held positions could only sell, basically forcing them to close their positions to avoid getting crushed. Those investors that held totally frozen stocks were left defenseless against the rest of the market.
It shouldn't be lost on anyone that the US Securities and Exchange Commission was notably silent when Robinhood made this decision.
Indeed, Robinhood is legally capable of halting and suspending trading on individual accounts. Those rights are clearly spelled out in Robinhood's terms and conditions and other disclosures. But disclosures don't matter when we view what Robinhood did in practical terms.
The difference between everyday retail investors and those who invest in and run hedge funds could not have been more stark. In fact, Robinhood basically said the quiet part out loud: "Rich people are allowed to manipulate the market. Normal people are not." There is actually very little difference between what Redditors did and what hedge funds do everyday.
Originally, Robinhood argued that it was protecting investors, but from what exactly? The individuals following Wall Street Bets over a cliff to almost certain profit did so willingly and in a way that, while wildly speculative, technically was not illegal.
Now, it tells the world that it had extreme capital requirements to meet with its clearinghouses to ensure ongoing securities law compliance. Robinhood claims,"It was not because we wanted to stop people from buying these stocks." But that's precisely what Robinhood wanted. It purposely interrupted trades to prevent the run-up in clearinghouse deposits from increasing further.
It doesn't get much more transparently dishonest than that.
A Proposed Solution to the "Robinhood Problem"
I would like to call the above situation the "Robinhood Problem."
Here is a proposed remedy to the Robinhood Problem: make it illegal to halt trading on publicly-traded securities without the explicit consent of or mandate from regulators, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission.
This rule should provide for very few exceptions, such as the case of the Twitters of the world that erroneously disclose earnings prior to the scheduled time of disclosure.
This solution is extreme and would likely be opposed by FinTech companies here in the US. They'll argue they should have unfettered control of their own platforms. But Robinhood demonstrated Thursday that it will cease trading, knowing without a doubt that such an act could vanquish investors' portfolios like Thanos snapping his fingers. Surely the general public would not be as outraged if the SEC had made this decision itself and required Robinhood to shut down unwanted activity.
Robinhood should have asked the Securities and Exchange Commission to step in and order a halt to trading certain securities. The unwritten rules of PR would have told Robinhood to try to shift the blame to someone who can serve as an appropriate shield to liability and criticism.
If the SEC chose not to stop trading, then Robinhood or the SEC should have published a statement telling the world of that decision. And Robinhood should have moved itself out of the way of investors.
While this type of regulation will slow down the process of halting unwanted trading behavior, the ultimate decision here should be vested in regulators, not in privately-held companies who have a demonstrated conflict of interest when making such decisions.
It's up to Congress to fix the Robinhood Problem.

I don’t know if its the nice weather or because I have a break from uni until September but I have fallen in love with reading again.
I have been devouring book series and my favourite one has been A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab.
The series follows Kell, a young man who can travel between four Londons (and their respective worlds) by using blood magic. He does so at the behest of the rulers of Red London, his London, where the royal family have adopted Kell. He lives in the palace with his brother Prince Rhy and travels as an ambassador to Grey London where magic has dwindled away and White London where magic is used desperately and dangerously to hold on to power. No one dares go to Black London where magic swallowed the world.
Soon Kell’s travels go awry after he meets Lila Bard, a street rat who robs him of something very special and dangerous, saves his life and then demands that he takes on her on a proper adventure.
The series grows as the tensions between the four worlds shifts with the magic and the actions of the rulers. Kell, Rhy and Lila try to forge their own lives within the power shift but end up coming together to defeat the largest threat faced by all the worlds combined.
(Elaborated from here)
These are the kind of books where you stay up until four in the morning because you need to know what happens. Schwab’s writing is beautifully paced and wonderfully created. It is hard enough to create one world to write in and Schwab creates four. The characters are fully fleshed out. You root for them, you want to yell at them when they’re acting so pig headed, you want them to fall in love and be happy and you want to be part of their lives. Literally, in any way. Ideally, I would be their friend but I would also settle for accidentally bumping into them in Grey London for like 4 seconds.
I also want to be Lila Bard so bad. She’s so freakin’ cool and smart and reckless. I freakin’ love her.
IF YOU LIKED…
Six of Crows series, the Raven Cycle series and the Lunar Chronicles, I really think you will fall head over heels with this series. It has that ensemble feel where you get to see the development of the group dynamics through out the books and I am a sucker for that.
Kell is able to travel through the worlds due to his Antari nature… marked by a single black eye. I couldn’t resist the look.

Reviews for When the Frost Is on the Punkin
Publishers Weekly Reviews 1991 December #1
This poem celebrates autumn and its changes in the rural landscape from a young farm child's point of view. Riley (1849-1916), the ``Hoosier Poet'' and author of another once widely learned and recited work, ``Little Orphan Annie,'' is most often remembered as a ``dialect'' poet. Contemporary children will need this helpful background--included in a brief afterword--in order to better comprehend his idiomatic verse here--words such as ``medder'' for meadow, ``hosses'' for horses and ``furries'' for furrows, though mellifluous, need explanation. Further, few children in today's increasingly urban landscape will understand the repeating phrase ``the fodder's in the shock.'' Employing her trademark soft shapes, Lang's handsome paintings adroitly evoke the season's richness with economical detailing and blocks of deep autumnal colors. They feature a contemporary child and/or her playful cat on each page and, while not providing a word-by-word reflection of the text, their interpretation will be an aid to understanding. Ages 4-6. (Nov.) Copyright 1991 Cahners Business Information.
School Library Journal Reviews 1991 December
Gr 3-5-- A respectful treatment of the poet's homage to autumn. Riley's words may seem affected to modern children (``The stubble in the furries--/kindo' lonesome-like, but still/ A-preachin' sermuns to us/ of the barns they growed to fill''), but Lang's bright, clean, graphic-style paintings capture the poetry of an autumn day in the country. Providing an unpredictable counterpoint to the narrative, she depicts a young girl as she awakens, does her chores, selects a pumpkin, and carves it. A helpful note on Riley's creative use of language and love of dialect is appended. Little Orphant Annie (Putnam, 1983; o.p.), illustrated by Diane Stanley, offers a more accessible introduction to Riley for children, but When the Frost Is on the Punkin , thanks to the joyous illustrations, is also worth meeting. --Kathleen Whalin, formerly at Public Library of Columbus and Franklin County, OH Copyright 1991 Cahners Business Information.


Former Target in Conestoga Mall now home to 11 new shops, 15 more coming
The former Target in Conestoga Mall is now home to 11 new stores that opened Thursday, with 15 more coming this fall. The new stores include Sport Chek and Miniso, a Japanese lifestyle brand.
"We actually went to them to lease the space," said Sandra Stone, general manager at the mall.
"We viewed the closure of Target as an opportunity to repurpose the space and increase the selection of stores that we could offer to our shoppers."
The Target location at Conestoga Mall closed in January, 2015. Between then and now, the north wing has been under construction.
Stone said they've added skylights, washrooms and subdivided the space to create spaces for new stores.
However, there won't be a large visual difference between the newly-renovated space and the rest of the mall.
"We did that on purpose so that people could walk through the mall and have a seamless transition," Stone said.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry takes a three point shot that would break the NBA record held by Ray Allen in the first half against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden in New York on Tue Dec 14, 2021 (AP News photo)
By Jessica Kwong
NEW YORK, NY—Golden State Warriors (23-5) guard Stephen Curry walked into Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night ready to make history against the New York Knicks (12-16) in a 105-96 win. After warming up with a range of shots – including three pointers – Curry walked up to a smiling Ray Allen, the record holder for most three-point field goals in NBA history – but not for long.
Early in the first quarter, Curry sank a three-pointer, tying the record with Allen. Then with 7:33 remaining in the quarter, off a pass from Andrew Wiggins, Curry made the splash from the right wing setting a new record: 2,974 three-pointers.
Golden State then committed a foul and called a timeout that the league let last three-and-a-half minutes to celebrate the greatest shooter of all time. Curry took in his accomplishment at backcourt, then hugged teammates, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr and finally, Allen.
“I talked to Ray last week and he mentioned just make it your own, like, there’s no right way, wrong way to celebrate it. It’s just the way you feel that moment and that’s exactly what happened,” Curry said postgame. “I’m sure as the days go on, I’ll go back to that moment and relive the emotions of it because it was like that, it was really, really awesome.”
Golden State led 12-10 after Curry’s historic shot and the score was tied at 24 at the end of the quarter. The Knicks led 48-47 at the half, but the Warriors took command in the third quarter, finishing 71-64. New York was unable to catch up in the fourth quarter and the Curry and the Warriors won 105-96.
The night ended with more glory for Curry, interviews at center court and MVP chants.
Kerr said the team fouled after Curry’s special shot to give him the moment.
“You know you have to do something you can’t just keep playing,” Kerr said, adding he noticed it was an extra long timeout that was obviously organized beforehand. “It just felt like the right thing to do to make sure we celebrate.”
Wiggins said “Steph is a humble superstar” and that “in his speech, he was just thanking other people.”
Draymond Green admitted that Curry hitting the mark was a huge relief for him and the entire team, and that they can now focus on other goals.
“Steph is the best to ever shoot a basketball,” Green said. “Tonight was a huge step in the right direction for us.”
Regarding being called the greatest shooter of all time, Curry is finally comfortable owning the title.
“I got that baby,” Curry said, raising both arms in the air.
He looks to hit many more three-pointers, but won’t say what his exact goal is.
“Now that I got past that hump I can just let it fly and see how far I can push it,” Curry said. “Whenever I’m done playing, hopefully it’s not anytime soon.”
The Warriors (23-5) lead the western conference and continue their road trip on Friday against the Boston Celtics. Tipoff is at 4:30 p.m.

Sniff-Air is an innovative instrument capable of controlling the temperature and humidity of the constant flow air to Sniff-0 to ensure maximum comfort during long-lasting experiments.
It is able to heat the air temperature of the constant flow channel to a maximum of 37 °C and keep the humidity within a controlled comfort range of 40-60 %RH.
Sniff-Air’s simple HMI interface, via an LCD display, allows you to quickly and intuitively set the desired temperature and, without further operator intervention, an automatic calibration process will heat up and maintain the tube bundle at the desired temperature. From this interface the user will also be able to activate the humidification function, again leading to a completely automatic stabilization and maintenance of the constant air flow within the prescribed range.
It is also possible to record all the sensor data and control the unit using a standard PC, connected via USB cable, and governed through one of many common control software (e.g. MATLAB, Python, E-Prime or your own customized solution able to manage serial communication).
The equipment is extremely simple to use, easy to handle and very transportable as it too is contained in a small ruggedized case.
Sniff-Air has been designed to be used in conjunction with Sniff-0 and must therefore be connected to it as well as to a PC for data recording or for remote control.
We are ready to answer all your questions to help you kickstart your research!

It's raining, it's boring — what to do? Let the games begin
A co-owner of Blue Highways Games shop in Seattle talks about the unplugged world of board games, just in time for soggy weather to chase us all indoors.
As a schoolboy, Scott Cooper would sit with his buddies at recess, back to the wall, arranging marbles in patterns meant to entice passers-by. Like a carnival hawker, he'd invite kids to knock his marbles out of bounds. If they missed, he took their marble. If they didn't miss, they got his. "At an early age, I learned how to do cost-benefit analyses," Cooper says....
Just pointing this out as another small sign of encouragement that the media is paying more attention to the designer gaming hobby.

Six months after James City County’s Affordable Housing Task Force approved a set of strategies to address housing issues in the county, the Board of Supervisors has yet to seriously consider the recommendations.
After more than a year of study, the county’s affordable housing task force approved a report in February consisting of 15 recommended strategies to address James City County’s affordable housing shortage. The board hasn’t considered the finalized recommendations publicly yet, because county staff continues to work through additional study of the recommendations.
Their research is centered on figuring out which recommendations would be quicker to implementand which require a longer time commitment, planning director Paul Holt said.
The goal is to have the recommendations ready for supervisors’ review in either September or October. It’s possible some recommendations find their way into the upcoming county budget, Holt said.
With the report complete, supervisors will consider which, if any, strategies they’ll pursue.
More than 8,000 households, or about a third of those in the county, were considered cost burdened in 2017, meaning they spend more than 30% of income on housing costs, according to the report. Spending that much on housing can threaten a household’s ability to pay for other expenses, such as food and medical care.
The task force, made up of county officials, developers, nonprofit representatives and others, recommended a range of strategies to address the needs of different groups of workers across income levels. Strategies include adaptive reuse, redevelopment of existing motels into residential properties, rehabilitation of county homes in need of repair and tax exemptions.
The report doesn’t specify cost projections for its strategies. Specific cost estimates aren’t part of staff’s current work, either. Cost is being thought of more generally in terms of what might be doable with existing county financial resources and what might need additional funding from another source, Holt said.
A couple of task force members reached for comment didn’t express concern about the lag time between the report’s approval and the board’s anticipated consideration.
“Having worked in the non-profit sector and as a faith and community leader, I know that community change does not happen overnight,” said Jennifer Andrews-Weckerly, a task force member, in an email. “When the Board of Supervisors and the staff are ready, there are some great suggestions in our report that can be accomplished in a short period of time and some initiatives that will take a significant amount of work.”
Jack Haldeman, a Planning Commission member who also participated in the task force, noted there is still a fair amount of work to be done to establish the scope of the problem and how the county wants to address it. Part of that involves study of how affordable housing fits into the comprehensive plan, which the county is about to update.
“The subject will be part of the upcoming (comprehensive plan) revision, which is exactly where it belongs. I believe that the county will soon face a fiscal, economic and environmental crisis brought about by poor land use policies of the past 50 years. This will make workforce housing and many other issues difficult to address,” he said.

Slowly but surely I think I’m getting caught up on lots of little things. And, here are some things around the blogosphere that I wanted to quickly mention.
Of course since I didn’t have a chance to visit blogs while I was away I sort of missed all the buzz going on about Book Blogger Appreciation Week. I wanted first to say thank you to whoever nominated my blog for an award. That was so sweet and made my day. I’ve seen a lot of my friends get nominated and I’m doing a happy dance for them. Most importantly though I just wanted to say thank you to Amy, Trish and all the members of the awards committee. What a fun event and thank you for making it happen.
While I was away I also was lucky enough to win two books. Thanks to the giveaway Melody was hosting I won The Grand Sophy by Georgette Heyer. I’m really enjoying the Heyer books I’ve been discovering recently so I’m excited about this one. And, the other book came via the giveaway She Reads and Reads was hosting in which I won The Impostor’s Daughter by Laurie Sandell. I know I’ve read a few book reviews of that book and I get the feeling I’m really going to enjoy it. So thank you both!
Then today while I was catching up on some blog surfing (I think it’s going to take me days to get caught up with you guys!) I found out that Carl V. has just announced the fourth R.I.P. Challenge. Hurrah. I can’t wait to make a list of books for this one. Jodie has mentioned a Poetry Challenge which sounds too good to pass up, and then Danielle recently blogged about the Persephone Books Reading Week. How can anyone resist these?
Ok, but for now I think I’m going to focus on starting Dance Night by Dawn Powell which is the next Slaves of Golconda read. I don’t know if I’ll be ready for the discussion at the end of the month but we’ll see.
I’m sure I’m forgetting to mention a whole bunch of other announcements but I need to go read my book. Tomorrow I hope to have a book review — in pictures.

Ly Son Island is a small island located off the coast of Quang Ngai province. There’s only 1 boat a day from Quang Ngai, and it leaves at 7 am. The port, however, is a 3-hour drive from Da Nang. That means a 3 am departure from Da Nang after adding in time for (much needed) coffee and breakfast. That also means you’re driving in the dark till at least Tam Ky.
The Ly Son island is small, poor and dirty. The coastal waters all around the island are floating rubbish heaps, and the sand all around is littered with plastic and Styrofoam. Not pretty. The roads around the island are terrible. Oh, and there’s only electricity from 5 pm till 11 pm, so it makes for toasty afternoons and balmy evenings. The soil is terrible for agriculture; in fact, the only things people really grow are onions and garlic, which are famous throughout Vietnam for their mild, slightly sweet flavor. Outside of these two products, all fruit and veg has to be brought on to the island, which makes it expensive. That also means no locally raised livestock, so imported pork and beef are for special occasions only. So why would anyone want to come to this place? Seafood.
Normally only found in sushi restaurants, sea urchin is the poor man’s food on Ly Son Island. We ate it on the first day slightly sauteed in oil and onions, which we then scooped up with rice crackers and ate. It was like a seafood salsa. We also had a crazy wavy-shelled clam that was about as long my thumb-to-pinky metric. It was cooked in the shell, then taken out and cooked more, then sliced into bites that we dipped in the classic salt & pepper + lemon juice. Of course it wouldn’t be fine dining in Vietnam without eating something endangered (obviously not my idea), so on our last night we had sauteed sea turtle. I actually don’t know how endangered it is, but let’s just say it’s illegal to sell it on the mainland.
After a relaxing two days of on Ly Son Island, the journey back was anything but. First, they oversold the boat tickets, which meant loads of people, including us, were standing the whole way back. Once on the mainland, it’s a shoving contest to see who can get off the boat to wait for their motorbike first. After the bikes are unloaded, we had to face a hair-raising 3 hour drive home in the hot mid-morning sun through the gauntlet known as Highway 1. The island was definitely a good experience, but I think I’ll stick to Da Nang for my seafood from now on.
To check out some great local Da Nang seafood, check out the Da Nang Evening Food Tour.

Global Medical Aesthetics Market - Outlook and Forecast 2022-2027
The global medical aesthetics market is experiencing rapid growth, with a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.71% projected from 2022 to 2027. It is anticipated to reach USD 45.52 billion by 2027, up from USD 21 billion in 2021. Several trends are driving this market expansion. Firstly, there is an increasing number of consumers seeking aesthetic procedures at a younger age. Additionally, there has been a rise in men seeking cosmetic enhancement procedures. Moreover, there is a growing preference for non-invasive cosmetic procedures over surgical options.
The market is witnessing the introduction of advanced and innovative devices and products from both global and local vendors. Facelifts, liposuction, botox and neuromodulators, skin resurfacing, and intense pulse light procedures are experiencing high demand across various age groups.

Medical aesthetics treatments focus on improving the appearance of patients’ skin and body. These treatments are less aggressive than surgical interventions and encompass minimally invasive and non-invasive procedures that enhance body shape, skin texture, and other aesthetic benefits. They require a high level of skill, knowledge, and training in human anatomy and physiology.
Despite the barriers and restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a healthy 3% rise in the demand for cosmetic treatments compared to 2019. This indicates a strong preference for improving one’s appearance and presents significant opportunities for the medical aesthetics market in the future.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a highly popular cosmetic injectable treatment within the global medical aesthetics market. It utilizes the patient’s own platelet-rich blood cells to naturally rejuvenate the skin and treat signs of aging. PRP has gained popularity in recent years due to its safety and ability to deliver rapid results. This procedure is commonly used for hair loss and skin rejuvenation, particularly in treating male pattern baldness. Dermatologists and plastic surgeons in high-income countries highly recommend PRP for improving skin appearance and overall health.
Advancements in medical aesthetics procedures are expected to contribute to significant market growth. The field of aesthetic dermatology, including innovations in botanical blends for hair care and skincare, has witnessed notable changes in recent years. These advancements have reduced side effects and paved the way for numerous procedures. Laser applications are widely adopted for treating vascular birthmarks, hemangioma, and other skin issues.
The demand for minimally invasive and non-invasive aesthetic procedures has seen a surge in recent years, appealing to all demographics. Non-invasive treatments, in particular, have become an accessible entry point for individuals, including men and young people who are highly conscious of their appearance. These procedures are favored by consumers due to their affordability, minimal downtime, and lower risk compared to invasive options.
The increasing per capita expenditure on personal care and cosmeceuticals, coupled with growing awareness of medical aesthetic solutions, has significantly driven market growth. In 2022, the Aesthetic Society reported a high market growth resulting from increased spending on aesthetic procedures. Approximately USD 9.3 billion was spent on aesthetic procedures in 2020, with around USD 3 billion allocated to non-invasive treatments and USD 6 billion to invasive procedures. This represents an 80% growth in expenditure compared to 2019 when approximately USD 8.2 billion was spent on aesthetic procedures.
Both the youth and aging populations are major users of medical aesthetics treatments. These treatments have evolved from anti-aging creams to approved cosmetic procedures. Currently, an increasing number of young individuals are turning to such procedures to prevent the signs of aging.
Medical tourism is also contributing to the surge in medical aesthetic procedures. Patients are traveling abroad for cosmetic surgery, driven by factors such as the globalization of medical services, the desire to display a healthy lifestyle, an emphasis on physical appearance, and the willingness to travel. This has given rise to a new segment in health tourism known as aesthetic medicine tourism.
The market is segmented based on various factors, including procedures, product, application, end user, and geography.

A drug called canagliflozin was found to drastically lower the risk of kidney failure in individuals who have type 2 diabetes and kidney disease, researchers have announced. The results come from a clinical trial that involved 4,401 people across 34 countries, highlighting a more effective way to protect patients against this severe diabetes complication. In addition to protecting kidneys, the drug was also found to reduce the risk of suffering severe cardiovascular issues.
Diabetes paves the way for severe, potentially life-threatening health problems, including heart attack, stroke, kidney disease, and death. The medication canagliflozin has already been used to help protect patients who have both type 2 diabetes and heart disease from suffering serious cardiac events; as well, it is prescribed to reduce blood glucose levels in diabetics.
Both of those uses — lowering blood glucose and reducing cardiovascular risk — have been approved by the FDA. The results from a clinical trial involving the drug and its protective effect against kidney disease underscores another potential benefit offered by canagliflozin.
The drug’s effectiveness for protecting against kidney failure in diabetics was compared to the currently accepted therapy, which is called renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) blockade. Patients given canagliflozin were found to be 30-percent less likely to develop kidney failure or die from renal failure or cardiovascular disease.
When looking specifically at kidney complications, trial participants who received the drug were 34-percent less likely to experience kidney failure or die from it. As well, the risk of being hospitalized for heart failure — or dying from cardiac issues — dropped by 31-percent. The results come at a critical time — cases of type 2 diabetes are expected to hit 510 million by 2030, a 20-percent increase from current levels.

I was listening to NPR on the way in to work today and they were talking about how justice in Afghanistan is still largely handled through tribal councils rather than the shiny new judicial system that we've put in place over there. That got me thinking about how difficult it is to erect an imaginary structure. A judicial system is an imaginary structure that people agree to respect. If the system is overly flawed, ineffective or even if people are just not comfortable with it, its chances of survival are low.
The judicial system in Afghanistan probably closely resembles ours back when the country first started out. We've had a couple hundred years to tweak our system and adapt it to our needs. The problem in the case of Afghanistan is that a parallel structure exists which people are more comfortable with, and so people continue to prefer the tribal councils over the one we've put in places. If the judicial system we put in place is to survive, it will most likely need to integrate the tribal councils in to its functioning in some way. If people are willing to use it then it can improve to meet the specific needs of the Afghan population. We should not be surprised if their judicial system ends up looking nothing like ours.
Countries are not the only places that have imaginary structures, though. I've worked for a lot of different companies over the years, and they all have their own way of doing things. The internal processes and procedures of a large company also comprise an imaginary structure. A structure which is nearly impossible to change. Most people don't look at the structure as a whole and instead prefer to keep their heads down to stay focused on their own job. I think that companies that encourage this behavior miss out on a lot of productivity that could be obtained from people actually working together. They often call this understanding the big picture.
Unfortunately the big picture is remarkably complex. What we need is a way to break this picture down in to understandable chucks which we can look at individually. Those chunks could be then used to build the big picture. Or perhaps just "a" big picture, after all a company is also just a bite-sized chunk of the big picture that is our society. In that context, perhaps we could apply some of the concepts of object-oriented programming and design patterns to corporate (or international) process. After all, each team has some inputs and some outputs. What happens inside the team is not really important as long as the outputs happen in an expected time after the inputs.
If the inputs and outputs of each team in the company are documented and understood by all the team members and all the people that team interacts with, things become much more orderly. Ask any person what their job is and what is expected from them and they will actually be able to tell you. It is then up to the lead of that team to insure that the team is adequately staffed to do all the work assigned to the team.
Could this process be applied to the Afghan justice system as well as to a business process? Certainly one of the problems facing the new judicial system which we've put in place is that many Afghans do not know anything about it. Like our business process, the Afghan courts have inputs and outputs. The ultimate goal of both is produce something of value for the people involved. Broken down in an understandable fashion makes it easier to tweak any little piece of the puzzle that doesn't quite fit correctly. Both systems should be allowed to evolve toward perfection.
Now if only I could find a company that's willing to let me experiment on them with my "object-oriented business process." Or a country willing to let me experiment on them with an "Object oriented judicial system." Hmm...

How can I extract funds through a limited company in the most tax efficient way ?
In this article we address one of the most common questions we receive from business owners – how do I pay myself and make sure I minimise the amount of tax and national insurance ?
The options outlined below incorporate the significant changes to the way that dividends are taxed and the restricted availability of the employment allowance which were introduced from 2016-17.
Assumptions – be aware of these:
- The suggested levels below are based on rates and thresholds as at today and prior to the budget announcement of the 22nd March
- It assumes no other income other than salary and dividend from your company
- No student loan and you have a standard personal allowance
- It assumes you operate outside of IR35
- Most importantly, the company has sufficient reserves to pay dividends after allowing for corporation tax of 20%
- The combination of the increased personal tax free allowance and basic rate tax threshold for 17-18 mean an additional £2k falls within basic rate tax of 20% rather than 40% giving an instant saving of £400.
- Income from savings is now tax free up to £1,000 (or £500 for higher rate tax payers) – saving £200 per year.
- Up to 10% of your personal allowance can be transferred to your spouse if they have some unused personal allowance – potential saving £230.
- Employee and employer NI thresholds are now aligned so costing and budgeting for employers will be a little bit easier!
- Salaries need to be below £10,000 to be ineligible for auto enrolment. This is important if your staging date is within the tax year 17-18.
- The employment allowance of £3k covers the cost of employer national insurance payable where there is more than one employee earning at or above £157 per week. Sole director companies or those where the second employee earns below this will therefore not be able to use this allowance.
Suggested options are below – do contact us should you have any further questions.
Option 1 – more than one employee, not yet staging for auto enrolment
Where there is more than one employee, the £3,000 employment allowance will be available which, for most clients will mean that directors can take the full £11,500 personal allowance and pay a small amount of employee NI (£400) which will be payable to HMRC over Jan – March 18.
Note that any other additional employees need to earn an annual salary of £8,164 or more to enable the employment allowance to be available to the employer.
Assuming you want to stay within the £45,000 tax threshold, this leaves £33,500 to be taken as dividends. The first £5,000 of this will be tax free using the new dividend personal allowance and the remaining £28,500 will be taxed at 7.5%.
Based on a gross income of £45,000, the total costs payable will be £400 of NI plus £2,137.50 of tax leaving £42,462.50 as net cash.
Summary: this equates to a monthly salary of £958 and dividends £2,790.
Option 2 – sole director or sole employee, staging has passed or upcoming or director has other income
As a sole director or sole employee, there is no employment allowance available. This means it is more efficient to reduce the salary to a level of £680 at which no employee or employer NI is payable.
At this level, earnings are not sufficient to trigger auto enrolment responsibilities. Sole directors can claim also exemption from auto enrolment. See our further article here.
The NI rate applicable on these earnings is charged at a rate of 0% which means that you still receive a full year’s NI credit to your state pension record even though no actual payments are made.
This option is also for you if you have other income such as rental profit, company benefits or other pension income which will use up the remaining part of your personal annual allowance of £3,340.
If you have no other income, the balance of £3,340 from your personal allowance of £11,500 can be used to pay dividends tax free. The next £5,000 of dividends will be covered as in option 1 by the new dividend personal allowance leaving the rest to be taxed at 7.5%.
Based on a gross income of £45,000, the total costs payable will be £2,137.50 of tax leaving £42,862.50 as net cash. Although this is a higher level of net cash than option 1, you lose £667 of corporation tax saving by having the lower salary going through as a company cost.
Summary: this equates to a monthly salary of £680 and dividends £3,070.
Which option is best for me?
In general, single company directors, those with other sources of income or those due to stage who want to make their own retirement provision will be using option 2.
NOTE : In determining the dividends payable each month, you will need to firstly ensure that the company has sufficient reserves after corporation tax (20%) to pay these. If this is not the case, then you will need to consider a remuneration (payroll) strategy to extract the funds you require from the business.
Payment annually or monthly?
We have the option of processing just one salary payment for you in March 18. The benefits of this are that you make just one payment of any NI owing to HMRC and avoid the potential number of PAYE coding changes in the year which usually result in an overpayment which is then withheld by HMRC for some considerable time.
Dividends can be taken for April 17 – February 18 with a salary payment only made in March 18.
We advise all clients to opt to pay their tax in one lump by the 31st January each year rather than request collection through coding.

Excellent article by Wilson Criscione discusses a recent movement by legal professionals to release more defendants from jail while they await trial. These advocates, judges and public defenders in Washington pushing argue that alternative measures such as drug and alcohol testing, electronic home monitoring, and referrals to behavioral health treatment can help lift those accused of crimes out of the legal system.
Law enforcement and prosecutors are slow to embrace the idea. They fear that people released from jail while awaiting trial will commit more crimes in the community.
According to the article, the availability and cost of these pretrial services in Washington depends heavily on where an alleged crime occurs.
Many rural counties in Eastern Washington and along the Olympic Peninsula don’t have a pretrial services program at all, filling their jails with defendants awaiting trial. Among those that do have such programs, most jurisdictions contacted by InvestigateWest require the accused to pay fees associated with their pretrial release — a barrier that disproportionately punishes poorer defendants and prevents some from being released from jail.
It’s what Ali Hohman, director of legal services for the nonprofit Washington Defender Association (WDA), calls “justice by geography.”
“Where you’re at in the state will dictate your bail amount, and it will dictate your ability to access pretrial services.” ~Ali Hohman, Director of WDA
Right now, Washington gives local control to jurisdictions to attempt their own reforms. Yakima County in 2016 began releasing low-risk offenders while providing pretrial services, and a study on the program found similar results to what New Jersey found: More people were released, there was less racial disparity in those kept in jail, and most did not go on to commit new crimes.
Other jurisdictions don’t have the resources to create those programs. Several years ago, the Legislature commissioned a task force to examine the issue. It released a report in 2019 that found gaps in the availability of pretrial services, most notably that 21 counties had no pretrial service programs at all.
Even where pretrial services existed, jails were still filled with people awaiting trial. Nationwide, two-thirds of all local jail inmates were awaiting trial, according to federal statistics, and Black and Native American people were jailed at much higher rates than white people. But in Washington’s largest counties, pretrial defendants in 2019 made up an even larger portion of the jail population. More than three-quarters of people in jails in King, Pierce and Spokane counties were there for a crime they hadn’t been convicted of, indicating pretrial reform efforts were still in early stages.
Those figures have been dramatically altered during the pandemic, with jails releasing defendants to prevent COVID-19 outbreaks. King County, for instance, has mostly stopped jailing people accused of misdemeanors. Seattle and King County have since seen a small increase in crime, particularly violent crime, but those are trends in line with the rest of the country.
