The country's active caseload (1,89,694) is 0.56 per cent of the overall cases logged since the start of the pandemic, the Health Ministry said. The active caseload is also the lowest in 221 days.
The daily positivity rate, which refers to the number of people testing positive out of every 100 tests, stood at 1.37 per cent on Monday- it has been less than 3 per cent for the last 49 days.
Worldwide, over 24 crore cases have been logged; 48.98 lakh deaths have been registered.

COVID-19 News: Hospitalisations Rise For Third Day In A Row In France
The number of people hospitalised for COVID-19 in France has gone up for the third day in a row on Tuesday, a trend not seen for almost two months, according to French health authorities, reported news agency Reuters. The number of hospitalisations rose by 15 people over 24 hours to 6,483. That is five times lower than the pandemic peak of 33,497 reported in November 2020. But with the reproduction rate creeping above 1.0 again, and the virus still raging in some parts of Europe including Britain, some fear a fifth wave of the pandemic in France. A reproduction rate above 1.0 indicates the pandemic is accelerating.

"Unprecedented" Crackdown On Free Speech During Covid Pandemic: Amnesty
Oppressive regimes around the world have used the coronavirus pandemic to crack down on critics, Amnesty International said Tuesday.
The rights monitor said there have been "unprecedented" curbs on freedom of expression since last year, and lives may even have been lost due to a lack of proper information.

At the national level, the government is considering keeping people off work for a week to reduce social contact in a bid to lower the tide of infections.
President Vladimir Putin is expected to decide on Wednesday which government measures put to him should be implemented to curb the spread of the virus across the country.
But already Tuesday, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin ordered unvaccinated over-60s in the capital to work from home and extended mandatory vaccinations for service workers. Those restrictions take effect next Monday and are set to last until the end of February.

US To Allow Covid Vaccine Booster "Mix And Match": Reports
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is preparing to allow "mix and match" coronavirus vaccine boosting, in which people get a different additional shot to the dose they initially received, US media reported.
Citing sources familiar with the situation, the New York Times said the FDA might make the announcement on Wednesday when it is also expected to authorize boosters for the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines.
A preliminary study released in the United States last week showed that people who have received the J&J vaccine may benefit from a booster dose of a different, messenger-RNA vaccine such as Pfizer or Moderna.
Boris Johnson Government Under Spotlight As Covid Cases Rise Again In UK
Britain has repeatedly trumpeted its mass vaccination programme against Covid-19, hailing its early approval of jabs as a key part of the long struggle to return to normal life.
But infection rates remain stubbornly high, contrasting sharply with its European neighbours and prompting fresh questions of the government.
For two weeks, the number of new cases has wavered between 35,000 and 40,000 a day, and on Monday nudged closer to 50,000 -- the highest since the July peak of the "Delta" variant outbreak.
WHO Aims To Help Poorer Countries Access Vaccine With $10 Covid Pills
A World Health Organization-led programme to ensure poorer countries get fair access to COVID-19 vaccines, tests and treatments aim to secure antiviral drugs for patients with mild symptoms for as little as $10 per course, a draft document seen by Reuters says.
Merck & Co's experimental pill molnupiravir, likely to be one of the drugs to treat mild patients, is being developed.
The document, which outlines the goals of the access to COVID-19 Tools Accelerator (ACT-A) until September next year, says that the programme wants to deliver about one billion COVID-19 tests to poorer nations, and procure drugs to treat up to 120 million patients globally, out of about 200 million new cases it estimates in the next 12 months.
Maharashtra Restaurants Allowed To Stay Open Till 12 AM, Shops Till 11 PM
The restaurants in Maharashtra will remain open till midnight and shops till 11 pm from today, with the Uddhav Thackeray government relaxing the curbs imposed due to the Covid outbreak. Earlier both were allowed to remain open till 10 pm.
The government, however, said it was essential for restaurant staff to be fully vaccinated and insist on the same for patrons.
"In order to prevent the transmission of the Covid 19 virus, restrictions like regulating of time, scrupulous adherence to Covid appropriate behaviour, requirements of service providers as well as visitors to be fully vaccinated, restrictions on occupancy etc. have been imposed" upon various establishments, the government said.
Coronavirus Live Updates: COVID-19 vaccines may protect against other coronaviruses, says study
COVID-19 vaccines and prior coronavirus infections can provide broad immunity against other, similar coronaviruses, according to a study. The findings, published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, build a rationale for universal coronavirus vaccines that could prove useful in the face of future epidemics.
"Until our study, what hasn't been clear is if you get exposed to one coronavirus, could you have cross-protection across other coronaviruses? And we showed that is the case," said study lead author Pablo Penaloza-MacMaster, assistant professor at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, US.
The three main families of coronaviruses that cause human disease include Sarbecovirus, which includes the SARS-CoV-1 strain responsible for the 2003 outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), as well as SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19. The other two are Embecovirus, which includes OC43, often responsible for the common cold, and Merbecovirus, which is the virus responsible for Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), first reported in 2012.

Lucien Pissarro in England: The Eragny Press 1895–1914
By Jon Whiteley, Colin Harrison and Simon Shorvon (Ashmolean Museum, $25)
Sons of famous fathers have a hard time.
Typically the old lion cuffs the cub for daring to innovate, but in the case of Lucien Pissarro (1863–1944) the problem was just the opposite: His father, Camille, the West Indies-born Franco-Jewish Impressionist, repeatedly scolded him for being old-fashioned.
Lucien was already an accomplished pointillist painter when he left France for London, fell under the sway of the Arts and Crafts movement and became passionately interested in the making of limited-edition illustrated books. Camille, who disliked what he saw as the stiffness, solemnity and imitativeness of English art, warned his son against its influence.
But Lucien was in no danger of becoming stiff and solemn, and his deepest desire was to find a way to import his father’s fresh, slightly naïve style into the woodcut medium so that it could be used to illustrate books. With the productions of the Eragny Press, which he operated with his wife, Esther, he succeeded.
Of all the so-called private presses that flourished in England during the 1890s and up to World War I, Eragny (named for the town in Normandy where the Pissarro family lived) achieved the most harmonious union of typography and imagery. This volume beautifully reproduces a generous selection of examples of the press’ work, culled from the Ashmolean’s collection (shown there in a recent exhibition), plus Eragny ephemera, related material pertaining to other presses, and relevant drawings and paintings by both Lucien and Camille.
The indefatigable Lucien designed his own font, called Brook, made the woodcuts and operated the printing press with his own hands, while struggling with ill health and lack of capital. Unfortunately, the Pissarros never achieved anything remotely resembling financial success and were only able to publish a relatively small number of titles, but Eragny earned a special place on the shelves of biblio-history.

2019 Kia Forte First Look
- New Forte is roomier and more refined
- Fuel economy improves while horsepower stays the same
- Advanced safety features will be available
Update: You can now read our first review of the 2019 Kia Forte
Unveiled at the 2018 Detroit Auto Show, the new 2019 Kia Forte is designed to be more sophisticated and more refined than its forebears, with new styling, more upscale amenities and improved comfort. All of this is intended to move the Forte away from the idea that it is purely a commuter car. In addition, improvements increase the Forte’s fuel economy, as well as upping the amount of available legroom and trunk space.
Stinger styling cues
The design of the new Forte will still be familiar to those who know the model, but Kia’s compact sedan has been given styling cues that were inspired by the Stinger sports sedan, including a fastback-like shape. The shape is more muscular and athletic, and the overall effect gives the Forte a bit more attitude than it had in the past. LED taillights are available, and reside near a trunk that can now accommodate 15.1 cubic feet of cargo. The Forte is 3.2 inches longer, 0.7 inch wider, and nearly half an inch taller, and rides on a significantly improved version of the 2018 Forte’s platform.
That added size means both the trunk and the interior had room to grow. The 2019 Forte has more legroom than in past models, and headroom has increased as well. The interior has been redone, now with more soft touch material and a standard 8-inch color touch screen. The button layout was created to be minimalist, uncluttered, and those buttons reside just below the screen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility come standard. Wireless smartphone charging and a 320-watt Harman Kardon sound system are available.
The seats have been redone with strong, lightweight frames, and have denser seat foam and more lumbar support to improve comfort on longer drives. The interior is designed to be quieter than in past models. On the safety side, Kia’s Advanced Driver Assistance Systems safety suite is available. It includes lane-keeping assist, blind-spot warning, forward collision avoidance assist, and smart cruise control.
Under the Hood
While horsepower and torque numbers are expected to remain unchanged–about 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque–the second generation of the 2.0-liter engine, an Atkinson Cycle 4-cylinder with a cooled EGR system, is designed with increased fuel economy in mind. You can choose from a 6-speed manual or what Kia calls its Intelligent Variable Transmission. The IVT is similar to a conventional CVT, except in this case, the IVT uses an adaptive shift logic and a chain-type belt instead of a push belt to reduce some of the “rubber-band” feel of some CVTs. This gives the IVT a more natural shift feel. Kia predicts fuel economy will be around 35 mpg combined, an improvement of about 3 mpg over the current Forte. The drivetrain is the first in a line of what Kia calls “Smart Stream” powertrains that are expected to be integrated into other Kia vehicles in the future.
The 2019 Forte will go on sale later this year, and official EPA ratings and pricing will be announced closer to the on-sale date.

Repackaged for a 20th anniversary reunion tour, the original Monkees, three quarters of them, anyway, showed 8,000 fans at the Flagler Race Track in Miami that some pop songs never die and that you're never really too old to rock 'n' roll.
As they did during their TV program from 1966-68, Dolenz and Jones handled most of the lead vocals during the show. Jones' voice was clear, strong and touching, especially on ballads like Daydream Believer. And Dolenz hasn't lost the power and grit in his voice that gave a haunting edge to (I'm not your) Stepping Stone.
The smartly dressed trio were nimble and energetic and established an instant rapport with the all-ages audience, at least half of which wasn't even born when the Monkees first hit big with Last Train to Clarksville in 1966.
The threesome seemed comfortable onstage, happy to be there after a 20-year absence. In a word, the Monkees were entertaining.
But the show had some technical and ethical problems.
The band occasionally overwhelmed the singers and the sound system was often muddy, burying any musical nuances. But that barely mattered because the audience knew the lyrics to just about every song.
The bigger problem was one of questionable advertising.
It was tasteless to have some pre-recorded voice hawking Monkees souvenirs over the speaker system between sets. We don't need commercials at rock concerts.
Worse was the fact that opening acts Gary Puckett and the Union Gap, the Grass Roots and the Monkees' backup band were all one and the same. Sure, Gary Puckett -- who still has that deep, resonant voice -- was there. And so was Rob Grill, one of the original Grass Roots. But the rest were just hired hands.
The band would leave the stage with the lead singer and return as the next band. That was deplorable.
What we really got was a cover band churning out golden oldies behind one original voice. (The third opening act, Herman's Hermits, included the original lead guitar player and no original vcoice.)
If the Monkees hadn't had four distinct personalities as well as years of TV exposure, we might have had a Monkees tour years ago featuring only guitarist Peter Tork.
The only reason a producer can get away with this is because songs such as Can't You Hear My Heartbeat, Woman, Woman, Lets Live for Today, and all those Monkee tunes are timeless.

An article in this morning’s Washington Post — headlined “Partisan Social Security Claims Questioned” — makes one of the mainstream media’s favorite arguments: both sides are wrong. The piece reviews the arguments made by Bush and his opponents about Social Security privatization and asserts that both sides are making arguments that are “flawed.”
It’s a convenient journalistic formula but the article fails to back it up.
The article addresses only two claims made by opponents of privatization. First, it examines the claim made by Senate Minority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-NV) that Bush’s plan to privatize Social Security would cost “$4.9 trillion over a 20 year period starting in 2009.” The article claims that Cheney’s estimate that private accounts would cost “trillions of dollars” is “probably the most honest” because these things are hard to predict. Of course, Cheney’s estimate is not in conflict with Reid’s claim.
Second, the piece examines the claim by opponents that privatization “would benefit Wall Street.” The article doesn’t even attempt to dispute this claim. It merely notes that Bush’s plan aims to “hold down administrative costs” that would go to Wall Street and quotes a budget expert saying he didn’t think the fees would be so high that Wall Street “would salivate.”
Meanwhile, the article reveals serious flaws in claims being advanced by Bush to support the plan: that Social Security is going bankrupt, that private accounts would offer greater returns and that private accounts offer individuals greater freedom.
The liberal media strikes again.


I-League: Dempo pegged back by Rangdajied United, settle for draw
The 2-2 draw gave Rangdajied their first point of the season.
Rangdajied United made a fine recovery from two-goal deficit to share points with Dempo in a third round match of the I-League here on Friday.
In a game of two halves at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Roberto Mendis (Beto) gave Dempo the lead in the sixth minute when he curved in a freekick. In added time of the first half, Thomas Saikhom brought down Billy Mehmet inside the box. The referee, without any hesitation pointed towards the spot. Mehmet stepped up to take the spot kick and sent the diving goalkeeper the wrong way to give Dempo a two-goal cushion at the break.
Lalnunpuia and substitute Sandesh Gadkari cancelled out the deficit in the 60th and 80th minute respectively to give Rangdajied United their first point in the I-League.

Songfacts®: You can leave comments about the song at the bottom of the page.
This song of gratitude for the existence of a loved one was written and composed by Michael Jackson. His producer Quincy Jones wanted him to write most of the songs for the Bad album, and he did, composing 8 of the 10 tracks. Jones was amazed at the range of Jackson's songwriting, and was very impressed that he came up with this unusual track. The song finds Jackson singing about a special girl from the African nation of Liberia, and it opens with the South African female singer Letta Mbulu saying the Swahili phrase "Naku penda piya-naku taka piya-mpenziwe," which translates to "Love you too. I want you too, my love." There was some geographic liberty here, as Swahili is not spoken in Liberia.
This wasn't released in the United States, but was the ninth single released from the Bad album in Europe and Australia.
It was widely reported that this song was dedicated to Jackson's close friend Elizabeth Taylor, although Taylor is certainly not Liberian and such a dedication wouldn't make much sense. Jackson did write a more obviously dedicated song for Taylor called "Elizabeth I Love You," which he performed at her 65th birthday celebration, which aired on ABC on February 25, 1997.
The World première of the video took place in July 1989. It starred Michael Jackson, Brigitte Nielsen, Paula Abdul, Whoopie Goldberg, Quincy Jones, Jackie Collins, Rosanna Arquette, Lou Diamond Phillips, Olivia Newton-John, John Travolta, Steven Spielberg, Debbie Gibson, Weird Al Yankovic, Bubbles the chimp, Suzanne Somers, Lou Ferrigno, Don King and "Son", David Copperfield, Richard Dreyfuss, Danny Glover, Olivia Hussey, Dan Aykroyd and Steve Guttenberg.
The rapper Tupac Skakur sampled the instrumentation of this song on "Letter 2 My Unborn," a track from his posthumous album Until the End of Time.
Jon Fratelli talks about the band's third album, and the five-year break leading up to it.
His keyboard work helped define the Muscle Shoals sound and make him an integral part of many Neil Young recordings. Spooner is also an accomplished songwriter, whose hits include "I'm Your Puppet" and "Cry Like A Baby."

CHIT-CHAT-EAU Episode No. 1: Florence Knight, Author and Chef
Luke wants to strike up conversations with people that he admires, from fellow designers and makers to chefs, musicians and writers. He wants to know what makes them tick and what's in their cupboards, about their rituals and their passions. Expect a new episode every few months...
First up is Florence Knight, author and head chef at Sessions Arts Club, the London restaurant Florence opened in 2021 with artist Jonny Gent and a favourite dinner destination of Luke's. Florence used to run a Venetian restaurant called Polpetto on Berwick Street in Soho. It was another favourite of Luke's, in part due to Florence's legendary maple tart, which he'd order every time he visited. We are, therefore, delighted that she has agreed to be our first guest.
Read on and discover Florence's favourite markets, vegetables, puddings and pasta shapes...
Describe your perfect breakfast.
I work really long hours and I tend to miss dinner so I always have a big breakfast prepared by my husband. Normally starting with pinhead porridge, coffee and a full fry up. Sometime he makes Moroccan pancake Beghrir, which he has mastered, or if he's feeling lazy we walk down to Dean Street Townhouse with the children in their pyjamas for the best scrambled eggs in Soho.
Who inspires you?
I don’t think it’s who but what. I tend to look for inspiration through my suppliers, ingredients, buildings and places. Driven by a mad search for perfection.
Which ingredients would we always find in your larder?
Eggs, Marmite, anchovies, Pukka fennel tea, Monmouth soft brown sugar, Tiptree ketchup, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, plain flour, Dijon mustard, capers, Heinz beans, semolina, Volcano coffee beans, maple syrup, marmalade, honey, Malden salt.
Where in the world are your top markets to shop?
I’ve picked up some real treasures in the Marrakech Souk and beautiful pottery at flea markets in Puglia on my holidays. Tsukiji Market was incredible in Japan. I’d love to spend more time there.
Your favourite novel, flower, colour, song?
Cider with Rosie by Laurie Lee; white anemones with red flecks (my mum’s favourite and now mine); always blue; too many to pick from:
May You Never by John Martyn
Nobody Told Me by John Lennon and Yoko Ono
Pata Pata by Miriam Makeba
If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out by Cat Stevens
Too Much Time by Captain Beefheart
Melodies by Lord Echo
What's your go-to snack?
Drumstick squashes, mint Aero, Smiths scampi fries.
Celery is always underrated and often forgotten. Love it braised in wine, stock, butter and finished with capers.
Your favourite place to visit in the summer and why?
Rhododendrons at Ramster Gardens are overwhelmingly beautiful with vast bushes of brightly coloured flowers and a handkerchief tree. I’ve been going every summer since a child and now take my own children.
The best pudding...?
To eat at home it has to be hot lemon pudding with a runny centre and plenty of cream.
Do you have a favourite food memory – a meal that particularly sticks in your mind?
Eating hot fish and chips on our laps with the fog rolling in over us with my family at Deal last Saturday afternoon.
You can only eat one kind of cheese again for the rest of your life. What's it to be?
Coolea is my favourite, it’s rich with hints of caramel and salty crystals. I live dangerously close to Neal’s Yard dairy and couldn’t imagine life without cheese.
Name a country you haven't been to that you'd like to visit, and tell us why.
I got to know Sardinia through a chef and now very good friend, it’s such a special place. I haven’t made it to San Pietro, a small island off the south west coast which looks incredible.
Which kitchen tool could you not live without?
Bialetti coffee pot, Victorinox tomato knife, Microplane zester/grater.
Your last supper on the planet?
Steak and eggs. Or spaghetti pomodoro.
And finally, your favourite past shape? (I know there's that whole thing about shapes going with their correct sauce, but still, mine's paccheri!)
I tend to prefer dried pasta, normally something like anelletti slow cooked in tomato sauce or fregola cooked in bisque with clams – a risotto of sorts.

If your children like sticker books, this one is pretty awesome. Lots of animal habitats and lots of stickers to place on each page. I wish she had more in English but I'll probably go hunt down some in french to try them out.

One of the stigmas Android has long had to live with is its alleged lack of security. Despite patches deployed directly by Google every month, the slowness of intermediaries such as carriers and OEMs has put the whole platform in a position of uncertainty, especially when compared with the more vertically integrated iOS.
Of course, however, Android’s director of security Adrian Ludwig disagrees…
Speaking to Vice’s Motherboard following a security conference in Manhattan yesterday, Ludwig remarked Google’s advancements in securing its mobile platform, and putting it in direct comparison with its rival. “For almost all threat models, they are nearly identical in terms of their platform-level capabilities,” he said.
Among the other questions raised was a more direct face-off of the iPhone with Google’s new Pixel, and when asked whether the two are equal when it comes to security, Ludwig replied saying “for sure”, not mincing his words. And actually, according to the report, he also added that Android will soon “be better”.
Apparently, “In the long term, the open ecosystem of Android is going to put it in a much better place,” as per Ludwig, without however giving any further explanation. He did touch on Android’s built-in security product called “Safety Net”, though, stating that the service scans about 400 million devices and over 6 billion apps every single day.
The results of these checks matched with the security measures already built into the OS make sure that a very small number of devices is left out and thus potentially subject of malware — or, in Google’s terms, PHAs, Potentially Harmful Applications. In a graph Ludwig showed at the conference, in fact, less than 1% of Android devices resulted affected.
To expand on the point, he brought last year’s much-discussed Stagefright security breach into the conversation, stating that despite the discovery of several critical bugs, a real-life hack on an Android device is yet to be seen. “At this point we still don’t have any confirmed instances of exploitation in the wild,” he said.
This obviously doesn’t mean that there isn’t much left to do, from both Google’s side as well as the carriers’ and the manufacturers’. “We got quite a bit of work left to do to get to a point where that actually happens on a regular basis across the whole the ecosystem,” Ludwig said.
But as far as big, platform-wise harmful exploitations, we should be tranquil, as targeting a large number of people simultaneously is “almost impossible”. Said Ludwig: “Mass exploitation is something that I’m not expecting that we’re going to see at any point in the Android ecosystem.”

Pelican Products Buys Hardigg Industries
Pelican Products, Inc. of Torrance, Calif., said today it has acquired long-time competitor Hardigg Industries of South Deerfield, Mass., which Pelican described as the world's largest manufacturer of roto molded protective cases. The transaction is valued at approximately $200 million and "believed to be the largest acquisition in the history of the protective case industry," according to Pelican's announcement, which said the acquiring company was supported in the acquisition by the New York- and San Francisco-based private equity group Behrman Capital.
"Despite the current economic downturn, Pelican Products has continued to grow its position as a global leader in the design and manufacturing of advanced lighting systems and virtually indestructible injection molded cases," said Lyndon Faulkner, president and CEO of Pelican. "The acquisition of Hardigg is testament to Pelican's commitment in driving growth of the company and its pledge to leading innovation in the industry. I am extremely excited to conclude this acquisition and to put two global organizations together, combining their respective strengths."
The resulting company has more than 1,500 employees, operations in 12 countries, and six manufacturing locations in Europe and North America. Pelican said the Hardigg brand name, identifying roto molded cases since the company's founding in 1954, will continue to identify the company’s high-end roto molded shipping cases. "The reputation of the Hardigg brand and quality of its products, people and processes make it an ideal partner," Faulkner said. "By bringing together the world’s largest roto molded case manufacturer with the world’s largest injection molded case manufacturer, the greatest beneficiary is the customer. As a result of our new partnership, Pelican will offer customers an unrivaled product range, all from a single source."
Hardigg's chairman, Jamie Hardigg, said the acquisition offers more opportunities to employees, expands the product line, and enhances Hardigg's global reputation. "We're excited that the combination of our companies creates a global industry leader well poised for continued growth," said Jamie Hardigg, who will end his day-to-day management role but will serve on Pelican's board of directors.

I got a T-mobile Pay as You Go account with its associated SIM card and put enough minutes on it to qualify for Gold status. Now my minutes don’t expire if I keep renewing the card. I then bought a Nokia 5800 unlocked smartphone from Dell for $228 (after rebate and coupon) and put the SIM card in. The phone works great with T-mobile. All calling features, plus my contacts’ phone numbers from the SIM, came over just fine. Text messaging is a breeze too.
The Nokia’s standalone music player, camera, and other bells and whistles work just fine.
When I want to surf the web or check email, I’m usually within range of a Wi-Fi network, which the Nokia handles very easily. No charges there.
But what about those times when I want to use the Nokia smartphone and I’m not in range of a Wi-Fi network? Well, that’s when it would be nice but expensive to have a data plan. Even then, I can get the information I want by using Google SMS. Example: I was headed toward Roanoke, Va., on the Interstate but concerned about the weather, so I texted weather roanoke to 466453 (“GOOGLE”) and got back the weather summary via return text message. You’d be surprised how much information you can get that way (restaurant search, movies, air travel updates and more) — see http://www.google.com/mobile/default/sms.html for details.
There you have it: Smartphone music and camera features when you want them, web browing and email free whenever you’re in range of Wi-Fi, cellphone calling and easy texting from anywhere — and Google SMS for travel data from the web. And all this for far less money than, say, an iPhone with a data plan.

I started my dessert-making adventure five years ago. I remember vividly waking up on a Saturday, having nothing else to do and deciding to bake a cake. As a naive 13 year-old, I thought to myself, “How hard can it be?” I thought the perfect place to start would be to make a triple-layer red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting– boy was I wrong.
There was one small hitch: my annoyingly neat mother would never let me take out all her pots and pans, and use up all the ingredients for what she called, “a little experiment.” It was hopeless trying to convince her that baking was my calling. Instead, I waited for her to leave for the hair dresser to fulfill my destiny.
It takes her one hour to drive there and back, and two hours to get her hair and nails done. Thus, I didn’t have time to waste– I had to move fast. I skimmed through the ingredient list: flour, baking soda, sugar, oli … OIL?! Could that be right? “Oil is what we use for cooking”, I thought to myself, “definitely not baking!” So, I–an expert in the culinary arts– made the executive decision to half the amount of oil that the recipe called for. This was mistake number one. I kept going down the list and pulling the ingredients out: eggs, vanilla extract, red food coloring… we didn’t have any, but I had found orange food coloring and cranberry extract which I thought could work –this was mistake number two.
With my ingredients in hand, I moved on to step two. I decided that the instructions were simply suggestions and I could take some creative license. The oven was still foreign to me, so I decided that I would skip the whole “pre-heating” thing. The next step was to assemble the cake. The recipe itself divided that step into 5 sections: mixing the dry ingredients, mixing the wet ingredients, putting them together, greasing the pan, and dividing the batch evenly. I, on the other hand, choose to merge all the steps together.
As I poured the ingredients into a medium size bowl, the kitchen counter became covered with sugar and flour. The mess was growing, but that did not stop me. I was in the zone. After pouring in the cocoa powder I looked closely at my batter- the color didn’t seem right. It was too dark. In order to fix that, I could have doubled the amount of food coloring, but in my case, I doubled the cranberry extract. After doubling it once, I was still unsatisfied with the color, so I kept adding more and more until the batter was nearing fuchsia.
I had remembered my grandmother saying that whenever the recipe calls for butter “dobbleit,” thus, even though the recipe didn’t call for butter, I added it in anyways. The issue was, the butter was frozen solid. After failing to incorporate the frozen blocks into the batter by hand, I decided I would place the batter and the butter inside a mixer and let it “do its thing” for a few minutes … and then a few more … and just a few more. After the batter was a milky consistency, I decided it was ready to pop it into the oven. I couldn’t find three uniform tins, so I decided to just use one large tin and cut up the cake after.
After buttering the tin, flouring it, and throwing in the batter, it was time that I faced my oven fears. I slowly turned the dial whilst pressing down on the gas button until I saw the flame. “PHEW”, I thought to myself, “the only thing that could possibly stand in the way of me making the perfect cake, I successfully overcame!”
I did not set a timer, I decided I would just open the oven every few minutes to check on my cake. In the meantime, I began working on the frosting. I thought it was extremely weird to use cream cheese in dessert, so I changed the ratio of cream cheese to sugar, halving the former and doubling the latter. The recipe called for heavy cream, I opened the fridge and knew that if it wasn’t in my eyesight then we must not have it; no point looking any further. I then mixed in the other half of the butter I had used earlier, which at that point was softer and easier to work with. Scared, I tasted it– it was sweet, but looking into the fridge, I saw that I didn’t have enough cream cheese to start over.
I then checked on the cake. I decided it was ready to leave the oven. Although I was not ready to admit it then, I knew deep down I had failed. For starters the cake was bright pink, not velvety red. To make matters worse, the center had sunk, and I had lost half the batter to the sides. It was no longer going to be a triple-layered cake, but maybe I could still salvage it.
I didn’t read the part in the instructions that said to let the cake cool, and so as heat rose from my not-so-red red velvet cake, I took it out of its mold. It was a crumble fiasco, but that didn’t stop me from turning it on its side and slicing it though.
I stared at my crumbly lopsided pink blobs. I was able to move past its appearance and texture, convincing myself that the taste would make up for it. I poured on the frosting. I was met with another unexpected hurdle– there wasn’t enough frosting to cover up all the cakes imperfections. I looked at the clock: five o’clock– my mother would be home soon. I quickly finished frosting and covered the cake.
At the time, although I was disappointed with the appearance of the cake (see image below), I was at least proud of my cleaning. However, at exactly 5:35 pm my mother walked in the kitchen and proved me wrong. She had never been so furious. In the midst of all the mess, I had not tried the cake.
The next day my parents told me I could take the cake to my grandmother’s house and we could all try it there. When dessert was served, I brought out my cake. My brutally honest family told me straight up they were not going to eat that. Although I was bummed, I couldn’t blame them seeing as I didn’t even want to try it. However, my extremely brave dad decided he would take the plunge. After the first bite, his words were something along the lines of, “You have other talents…”
Many would think that after this disastrous failure I would put baking behind me. However, I took that day as a lesson. I learnt that the recipie’s instructions are not merely suggestions, to never to make up quantities, and to never change up the ingredients. But, the most important lesson I learned was to always look interested when my mother told me how to properly scrub down a kitchen counter, or the bathroom floor, or change the lightbulbs, or the importance of always starting your day by making your bed…

As competition heats up for supply, vacation rental managers are investing heavily in homeowner acquisition. Throughout the industry, our mantra is “This industry is all about relationships.” However, when building strategies to add new homes to their inventory, property managers often target the home instead of the homeowner. For example, companies might set goals to acquire homes with private pools, homes in certain subdivisions, or condos in specific complexes or buildings.
Yet a successful business relationship between the homeowner and management company is determined by much more than property specifications or location. When crafting an inventory acquisition strategy, a better place to start might be evaluating relationships with existing clients.
The logic behind examining current relationships before executing a costly homeowner acquisition plan is simple: the best predictor of future success is relevant past success.
Each company has something it does better than its competitors. It could be its high-touch service, powerful marketing, in-market brand recognition, property care, financial management, transparent communications, revenue optimization, flexible contracts, personable relationships with staff, or some combination of these.
The truth is that property managers may not know why homeowners choose to contract with them. By measuring satisfaction among homeowners already in their rental program, managers can better identify and articulate their unique selling proposition (USP) and target the homeowners who are most likely to be successful in their specific property management program.
Why did homeowners in the rental program decide to rent out their vacation home in the first place? And then, why did they choose one management company over another? The obvious reason for renting is money. However, revenue expectations vary widely among homeowners, so grouping these homeowners by their primary objectives is a good starting point.
Example: Second-Home Owners
Many homeowners purchased their vacation property as a second home or a place to retire later in life. They chose to rent out the home to make money while not using it, but the preservation and enjoyment of the home are their primary motivations. For these homeowners, making sure every vacant night is filled using aggressive revenue management techniques doesn’t align with their objective of having a nice, well-maintained home their family can enjoy because a continuous stream of back-to-back reservations causes damage and increases wear and tear on the home. In addition, selling at low rates to book every vacant night brings in a different type of guest who is less likely to care for the home.
For second-home owners, having repeat guests who treat the home as their own is valuable, and they place a premium on property care, maintenance, and guest management.
Investors purchase vacation homes with the objectives of short-term revenue optimization from rentals and long-term appreciation from the property as a real estate asset. For these owners, annual rental income and market appreciation are the drivers, and they’re attracted to companies that provide professional marketing, revenue management, and financial management.
In contrast to second-home owners, investors would like to see every night on the calendar generating income, and they put a premium on professional marketing and revenue management. For investors, a professional asset-management approach, which includes financial projections, cost-benefit analyses, and detailed reporting, is appealing. In addition, investors are attracted to property managers who provide standardized kitchen packages and linens and have operations and technology that lower the cost of maintaining the investment property.
A homeowner’s priorities often change during their time in a rental program. A death in the family, health issues, loss of job, or any change in their financial position will shift their objectives.
For example, an owner who purchased a vacation home with the primary goal of optimizing revenue may find—with the increase of damage and wear and tear on the property—that they are now interested in a company that more closely manages guest activity. Or the homeowner who puts the property on a rental program to cover a few costs may find themselves in a different financial position and now needs to maximize revenue.
The important thing is to not make assumptions. An annual assessment of each homeowner’s objectives provides insight into why that homeowner is choosing to remain in the rental program and gives the company an opportunity to manage a new set of expectations.
Finding Common Attributes
Beyond defining homeowner objectives, property managers should understand why homeowners chose them in the first place, what homeowners value about the rental program, and what they would like to see improve.
By evaluating homeowner satisfaction, property managers can go beyond homeowners’ objectives and find out what aspects of the rental program are most valuable to its clients. Although revenue matters to homeowners, other factors do as well, including property care, guest management, communications, and service.
During the process of assessing objectives and discussing how satisfied clients are with elements of the rental program, it doesn’t take long before managers begin to identify common attributes among their most satisfied homeowners. They can then articulate what a “good” client looks like.
In addition, they will discover commonalities in what sets their company apart in the eyes of their most valuable clients, giving them the information they need to clearly identify their competitive differentiators and build their USP.
Now, instead of targeting homes, the company can target the homeowners who are most likely to be successful in their rental program with messaging and marketing strategies that appeal directly to their priorities and personas.
In the competition for supply, large, multi-destination vacation rental companies are pouring money into aggressive marketing to homeowners. However, they make broad assumptions about owners’ objectives and values, and we see the same messaging from these companies being sent to homeowners around the country, whether the properties are in the mountains of Colorado or on the beaches of the Carolinas. They target the masses and are not interested in homeowners’ individual values and goals.
However, when measuring homeowner satisfaction, independent, local vacation rental management companies have an advantage over these large multi-destination companies because a local company has a more direct relationship with the homeowner client. A large company must rely on static survey-oriented metrics like Net Promoter Score (NPS) to gauge satisfaction. They simply don’t have the ability to process and communicate subjective information to decision-makers.
Although NPS is important, local management companies are able to dive deeper and gain more meaningful insight through annual satisfaction reviews with each homeowner, giving them a better idea of what drives the homeowners in their market and in their program. They are able to pull this information together and communicate it to the company’s leadership and marketing team.
Besides creating a foundation for inventory acquisition, taking a deep dive into homeowner satisfaction spotlights company and team strengths, reveals areas for improvement, and helps in client retention.
Relationship-based growth builds a stronger—and happier—company for years to come. Before embarking on costly inventory acquisition initiatives, property managers will find it beneficial to remember once again that “in our industry, it’s all about relationships.” By identifying common attributes among its current homeowners—in their objectives and what they value about the company—managers can identify their USP and create a marketing plan that attracts homeowners that are most likely to be successful in their rental program.

A teen who bolted from a group home that housed criminal offenders has been arrested on suspicion of murder — less than two months after a judge sounded the alarm about scant security at such facilities.
Andrew Benitez, 17, was being held in a "nonsecure" residence under the "Close to Home" initiative, which has been plagued by criminal youths bolting at worrisome rates, as the Daily News exclusively reported last month.
Benitez — who was being held at Stephen's House on Staten Island, a source said — was arrested June 23, accused of killing 18-year-old Aaron Jefferson on a Jamaica, Queens, street on the night of June 22. He used a retractable razor to stab his rival in the back and arm, court papers charge.
Queens Family Court Judge John Hunt foresaw such violence.
"The problems identified in this decision should be addressed promptly before tragedy befalls a juvenile or an innocent citizen," he wrote in an April 30 ruling regarding another teenager, who committed five robberies after walking away from an unlocked Close to Home facility.
Testimony in that case revealed that missing delinquents generated 422 warrants in the six-month stretch since the program's inception last September. At one point in March, a quarter of the confined kids were unaccounted for. Eight missing youths were arrested for new crimes as of early May.
The much-touted reform moved the least-violent offenders from upstate facilities to residences supervised by the city Administration for Children's Services to keep them closer to relatives.
"We extend our sympathies to the family of the young man who died last week after a fight involving two groups of teenagers," the agency said in a statement Sunday.
A judge reviewed Benitez's confinement and agreed to the nonsecure setting as recently as this past February, an ACS spokesman said.
Benitez was arrested on robbery charges at 14, a law enforcement source said, but because juvenile records are sealed, it was impossible to confirm what crime he was being held for or when he disappeared.
An ACS spokesman said the agency directed providers to keep homes under lock and key, monitored four of the 11 participating social service agencies that struggled to address problems and has decided to dump two of them.

I am a late-to-the-party Whedon fan. I had read his comic book runs on "Astonishing X-Men" (enjoyed it) and "Runaways" (caused me to drop the book) but hadn't seen any of his TV work. We were fans of Nathan Fillion from "Castle" and once The Armchair Squid shared he had enjoyed "Firefly", we hunted down the series and become instant converts.
I'm not sure how the movie works as a stand alone film as I've not spoken to anyone who has seen it but NOT seen the show. The phenomenal opening tracking shot (actually TWO shots nicely cut together) does a great job of introducing you to the main characters and setting up the story. It is action packed, funny, grim and exciting!

Tuesday's comic session had "Live Free or Die Hard" with Bruce Willis playing in the background. I went with the unrated version. I remember seeing this in the theater when it was PG-13 and realizing how badly they had erred by going with a lower rating. Die Hard NEEDS to be an R rated adventure.

Each summer, I try to send my new class of students a postcard every couple of weeks. On Wednesday, it was time to send out the first batch. "Predator" with Arnold Schwarzenegger seemed to be a good choice to have on in the background.
Last night Nan and I watched "North By Northwest" with Cary Grant. What a great movie, from start to finish. I think a Hitchcock week is in order. The Armchair Squid recently talked about starting his daughter on some Hitchcock movies....I think that is a GREAT idea!

Ireland’s President, Mary McAleese, has spoken out against homophobia during a visit to St Columb’s College in Derry writes Garbhan Downey in the Sunday Times McAleese backs gay campaignSt Columb’s is celebrating it’s 125th Anniversary and the president used her speech to address the issues of sectarianism, racism and homophobia.
“Those citizens of tomorrow . . . what do they say when their friends make sexist, racist, sectarian or homophobic jibes — do they stay silent and let the poison of contempt go on its cruel way, or do they have the guts to stop it in its tracks and say such words are unacceptable and dangerous?
“Do they have the backbone and the conviction to lead their friends in the right direction even if it seems the loneliest place in the world?”
Reported attacks on gay people in Derry have trebled during the past year and prominent gay activist Sean Morrin, project director for the Rainbow Project, welcomed the President’s intervention. Morrin doesn’t believe that Derry is any worse than other parts, but feels the gay community has more confidence in reporting attacks and in reporting them as specifically anti-gay to the Police, a claim supported by the PSNI who last year drew up an anti-hompohobic protocol for the city.

The Lego Car Blog Elves have been busy since their re-release after the Christmas break, so it was only a matter of time before one of them found a remotely controlled creation. Those you expecting a tale of mass Elven squashings will be disappointed though, as – excellent though this model is – it’s too slow to cause any Elven casualties, much to the annoyance of the Elf that discovered it.
However, now that we have the controls, it can be used to trundle a great multitude of Elves around TLCB Towers, which they’re enjoying very much.
Eurobricks’ damjan97PL (aka damianPLE) is the builder responsible for this rare moment of Elven calm, thanks to his fully RC 50cm long flatbed truck. An L motor provides the drive, a Servo the steering, and an M motor operates the third axle lift system via a clutch.
It’s an excellent build and one that you can create for yourself as building instructions are available, although you probably don’t have any Elves to transport. Head to the Eurobricks discussion forum for all the details.
