- Total South Africa plans to install solar power at 282 of its service stations by 2021.
- The project is part of a larger project targeting the installation of solar panels in 5,000 service stations around the world.
- All photovoltaic panels will be provided by SunPower, a subsidiary of Total Group since 2011.
Total South Africa recently revealed a model of their solar service stations at Skukuza Camp and also celebrated 60-years of partnership with SANParks in the Kruger National Park. The revelation is in line with the company’s solarisation project targeting the installation of solar panels in 5,000 service stations around the world by the end of 2021.
This programme drives several efficiencies for the business, including reducing Total’s carbon emissions by 100,000 tonnes per year, as well as reduce its electricity bill by $40 million per year. All photovoltaic panels will be provided by SunPower, a subsidiary of Total Group since 2011.
“The project is fully aligned with Total’s ambition of becoming the responsible energy major and its commitment to developing solar power. Total South Africa embarked on the solarisation programme in response to anticipated changes in customer expectations and their relationship with energy,” said Pierre-Yves Sachet, MD and CEO of Total South Africa.
“This is an opportunity to demonstrate the need for responsible energy consumption in light of a growing global population with increasing energy needs. We firmly believe that it is possible and necessary to produce, process and supply affordable energy while meeting the highest HSE standards,” Sachet added.
The France-based multinational also noted that the solar service station model coincides with its 60-years partnership celebration with SANParks. “After 60 years in partnership with Total South Africa, it gives us a great pleasure to be working with a brand that shares our goals and vision in conserving our environment and investing responsible resource usage,” said Fundisile Mketeni, CEO of SANParks.
In South Africa, 282 Total service stations are planned to be fully solarised by 2021.

Written for the 8/18/13 The Sunday Whirl Wordle 122 – A baker’s dozen of poetry prompts: dreamed, years, vision, heart, tribute, space, persuaded, degrees, nestled, floor, period, if, stay
Nestled in the corner of a memory
is a period of time I dared not revisit.
It was a time when anger was measured by degrees
and love was no more than a tribute to your vanity.
I might have been persuaded to try again,
but even through the distance of years,
my fragile heart remains weary and afraid.
Yet I know, if I stay rooted to the floor,
refusing to move toward that vision
of contentment for which I once dreamed,
the space I exist in will be forever empty.

BALDWIN NDABA, YUSUF OMAR and ANNA BISARO
DEMOCRATIC Alliance leader Helen Zille and her parliamentary leader, Lindiwe Mazibuko, were whisked to safety yesterday after Cosatu supporters pelted them with rocks during the DA’s youth-subsidy march in Joburg.
Scores of people suffered serious injuries during bloody clashes between DA and Cosatu supporters. Emergency services ER24 reported treating 12 patients in Beyers Naudé Square.
The DA marchers were on the verge of handing a memorandum to Cosatu at its headquarters in Jorissen Street at 11.45am to ask the labour federation to abandon its call against youth subsidies, when they were met by an angry crowd.
Thousands, wielding rocks and wearing red T-shirts and black berets, stormed down the road – led by a man shocking bystanders with a Tazer gun – and confronted more than 2 000 blue-shirted DA supporters carrying vuvuzelas.
Cosatu-affiliated union members, ANC-aligned students and youth organisation members lined up against Zille and Mazibuko as they rebuked the labour federation for having allegedly prevented President Jacob Zuma from rolling out youth subsidies to unemployed young people.
A police Nyala and a handful of policemen with shotguns separated the two groups by about 5 metres.
Zille stood on a DA truck surrounded by security and delivered a speech in Xhosa and English. “The DA stands on the side of the poor,” she said. “No one elected Cosatu into government. The DA was elected by you. You put us here.”
As she was speaking, Cosatu supporters began to sing “Voertsek, Zille, Voertsek!”
Some Cosatu members carried posters that read: “HIV/Aids is better than DA”, “DA stands for Defend Apartheid” and “Youth Subsidies = Youth Exploitation”.
The stand-off continued for a few minutes. Then the sky began raining rocks, pieces of cement and tar, from both sides.
“Do not retaliate,” shouted DA leaders over the loudspeaker as a rock smashed through their truck’s front window.
The DA waited for the police, who did not arrive, before retreating into De Beer Street. The Cosatu supporters ran down a parallel road. The two groups met again on Stiemens Street.
At 12.40pm, police back-up arrived and threw two stun grenades into the crowd. Teargas was sprayed and, by 12.50pm, the police had regained control of Braamfontein. Helicopters flew overhead and a water cannon split the Cosatu group in half.
At 1.30pm, the DA’s supporters scrambled over Nelson Mandela Bridge and back to Beyers Naudé Square, many of them limping, several with blood-soaked bandannas, and several rubbing their eyes and coughing from the gas. Zille was nowhere to be seen.
DA provincial leader John Moodey helped carry the wounded across the bridge. “We are surprised this happened… we thought the police would prevent Cosatu from holding an illegal gathering,” he said. “This is a taste of things to come… They will do anything to hold on to power. Even violence.”
Moodey, calling the incident “a watershed for South African politics”, said he equated what happened to the 1976 uprisings. “This will start to happen more and more as the ANC starts to lose power.”
The violence was absolutely deplorable,” said Zille in a statement later. “I think we were on Jorissen (Street) when I saw the first rock hailing down on us, huge rocks came at us. It was completely uncalled for. We were peaceful, and when Cosatu threw rock at us, we told our supporters not to retaliate.”
The clash had earlier seemed imminent at Cosatu House, where the message to the labour federation supporters was clear – teach Zille and her supporters a lesson.
Cosatu had become aware of the march two weeks ago, and its affiliated members had organised their supporters to resist Zille and her supporters.
“Why are they afraid of a peaceful march?” a DA councillor in the City of Joburg, Cameron Mackenzie, asked. “They are afraid of our message. It’s disgusting what happened here. It’s disgusting.”
DA councillor for Sunninghill, Annette Deppe, said the arrival of an opposition force proved that the DA had made its point. “We stand by our youth who want jobs, skills and sustainability. They (ANC) only want jobs for their friends and family.”
“We certainly placed firmly into the public debate the importance of the youth wage subsidy,” added Zille. “There is R5 billion in the budget for the youth wage subsidy, and we want to free up that money.”
Cosatu provincial chairman Phutas Tseki blamed the DA for the violence, saying they had arrived in Braamfontein “with a truckload of rocks to attack Cosatu members”.
“The DA got a clear message. Cosatu members were defending their institution – Cosatu House – and their leaders,” he said.
Tseki said two people at Cosatu House – including ANC Youth League NEC member Thabo Kupa – had suffered serious injuries.
Cosatu general secretary Zwelinzima Vavi said problems had been expected, but added that “violence is completely unacceptable from whatever side”.
DA national spokesman Mmusi Maimane said: “We will be laying criminal charges against Cosatu’s leadership for intimidation, inciting violence and holding an illegal gathering.”
Police spokesman Lieutenant Tshisikhawe Ndou said a case of an illegal gathering against Cosatu had been opened as the organisation had not submitted an application to march.

AUGUSTA - Louis Oosthuizen bagged an elusive albatross.
A triple-bogey on the fourth hole put an albatross around Phil Mickelson's neck.
Two aces even flew into the 16th hole – courtesy of Bo Van Pelt and Adam Scott
The final day of the 76th Masters was wild and wonderful, with a bevy of golfers still in the hunt for a green jacket as the holes wound down.
Then came Bubba.
Bubba Watson, who began the day five shots out of the lead, stormed into a 10-under tie with Oosthuizen on No. 16 and stayed even with him through 18.
But after the field was culled to two golfers and two playoff holes were complete, Watson – crying like a baby – was the last man standing.
And man, what a finish it was.
The pair dueled again on the par 4 18, both placing their second shots of the first playoff hole onto the green and well within reasonable distance of a birdie.
Oosthuizen made a beautiful strike on the ball, which burned the edge and just missed disappearing.
Watson's putt was shorter, but slightly off line.
Easy tap-ins sent the duo to No. 10 to finally get this thing settled.
Watson's errant tee shot went left and Oosthuizen found trouble to the right, putting both men in tough spots on the par 4 hole.
Oosthuizen was 231 yards from the flag on his second shot, and wound up well off the green.
Watson was in the woods and in the straw – 155 yards from the hole – but poked the ball straight up and long, where it plopped onto the green, leaving him with a makeable putt.
"I'm used to the woods and used to the rough," Watson said. "I saw it was a perfect draw."
Oosthuizen was certainly impressed.
"It looked like a curve ball coming out of there," he said. "It was a great shot."
Oosthuizen's chip didn't get him as close as to the cup as Watson, and his follow-up putt rolled over the hole.
The winner-in-waiting then had the luxury of needing to go just 12 feet in two taps for his first major championship.
His second one dropped in from just inches away, setting off the waterworks and leaving Watson as the owner of one of the great finishes in Masters history.
"I've never had a dream go this far," Watson said. "I can't even say it's a dream come true. I don't even know what happened on the back nine. I hit a crazy shot that I saw in my head and here I am wearing a green jacket and talking to you guys."
The ending invited the "it's a shame anyone had to lose" cliché, especially due to the classy way Oosthuizen handled his runner-up showing.
The 2010 British Open champ certainly had the look of a fellow about to win another major until Watson began his surge to the front.
"It's a great golf course for great finishes," Oosthuizen said. "It's just an unbelievable place and the crowd was tremendous. The two of us had a lot of fun out there. Bubba made a joke and we were just relaxed. I really have to congratulate him."
Oosthuizen recorded a rare double-eagle on the par 5 No. 2, holing a 260-yard second shot with his 4-iron to surge into the lead.
It marked the first albatross on the hole in the 76-year history of the Masters, and set up the 29-year-old South African as the golfer to beat.
"When something like that happens you think, ‘This is it,'" Oosthuizen. "And then it took a few holes after that to get my head around it."
Mickelson took himself out of the running with a disastrous No. 4.
He hit his tee shot into the thicket near the stands, shanked the ball with a right-handed 24-inch shot after he finally found it buried in thick bamboo; then miss-hit the ball once more (again right-handed). He wound up in the sand on his fourth shot.
Before he was done he had a triple-bogey and plummeted from second on the leaderboard – one behind Oosthuizen – to four shots off the pace.
"If it goes into people and stops right there, no problem," Mickelson said. "If it goes into the grand stand, no problem. It hit the metal railing and shot in the trees. And not only was it unplayable, but I couldn't take an unplayable. There was no place to go other than back to the tee. So I took the risk of trying to hit it a few times."
He would never catch up, winding up in a four-way tie for third with Lee Westwood, Matt Kuchar and Peter Hanson at 8-under.
When asked what he would take from this experience, Mickelson had a short answer.
"Third place," he said. "It's not what I was hoping for."
Ian Poulter was alone in seventh at 5-under, and Scott, Justin Rose and Padraig Harrington shared eighth place at 4-under.
Jim Furyk (3-under) was 11th, and Kevin Na, Graeme McDowell, Sergio Garcia, Fred Couples and Hunter Mahan tied for 12th with 2-under 286s.
Rory McIlroy and Tigers Woods, expected on Thursday to compete for the title, were out of contention by the start of the weekend and finished in a tie for 40th.
"Yeah, it was a disappointing weekend, just one of those things," McIlroy said. "I played pretty well over the first couple days and then just came out on Saturday and really just didn't have it that front nine, and that sort of killed me for the rest of the tournament."
But the day belonged to Watson, who was as emotional as he was impressive.
The 33-year-old Florida native and his wife, Angie, are new parents of an adopted baby, Caleb.
He was thinking about them on Sunday, as well as his late father, Gerry, who died of throat cancer in 2010.
When his final putt dropped for the victory, he and his mother shared a tearful embrace before a cheering gallery.
"My mom and I didn't have words," Watson said. "We just cried in each others arms. And I thought about Angie and Caleb and my dad. Golf is not my everything. If I had lost today I wouldn't have gone home and pouted.
"I still haven't changed a diaper yet."

Trans people can use preferred bathrooms in North Carolina, court rules
North Carolina’s law cannot be used to deny transgender people entry to public restrooms, a court has ruled.
US District Judge Thomas Schroeder ruled on Sunday that “nothing in the language” of the current law bars transgender people “from using public restrooms and other facilities that match their gender identity.”
North Carolina has been a focus point for clashes over transgender rights, with Democratic Governor Roy Cooper signing a law, HB 142, restricting bathroom use in 2017 as part of a compromise with Republicans who had previously passed a more extreme law, HB 2.
Cooper’s compromise law banned cities from enforcing LGBT anti-discrimination ordinances before 2020, and maintained several softened measures from the previous law aimed at restricting bathroom access.
The case had been brought by the ACLU and LGBT+ law firm Lambda Legal on behalf of six named plaintiffs.
Joaquin Carcaño, lead plaintiff in the lawsuit, said: “I am relieved to finally have the court unequivocally say that there is no law in North Carolina that can be used to bar transgender people from using restrooms that match who we are.
“For the past two and a half years, I have been unable to use restrooms in my home state without worrying that I will be subject to discrimination, harassment, or even arrest.
“Our community has faced so much discrimination because of HB 2 and HB 142, and this decision will give us more support to defend the rights and basic humanity of our community members across the state.”
ACLU of North Carolina Legal Director Chris Brook said: “By making clear that transgender people in North Carolina cannot be barred from using public facilities that match their gender identity, this decision lessens some of the harm that has been caused by these laws’ disgraceful and indefensible attacks on LGBT North Carolinians.

Animals are known to have a calming effect on the mind. Whether it be a pet cat or going to a field and watching the horses, being around animals encourages us to lower noise levels which in turn, calms the mind.
Spending time with a friendly animal can make you feel good – it seems to lower levels of stress hormones. As you pet your animal particularly notice the feel of their fur or skin against your fingers. Notice the shape of their ears, nose, eyes and mouth. What sounds do they make. Do they change? How do they move?
Here’s a thought – Does your dentist or GP have a fish tank in the waiting room? Lots of people say they feel calmer, more relaxed, and less stressed when they watch fish swimming, and there is some scientific evidence to back it up.
A study using a huge tank found that the more fish and marine life that were added, the happier viewers became. They found that heart rates and blood pressures dropped too.

House gives final nod to amended customs tariffs in bid to localize industry
All part of the localization push: The changes in tariffs came to promote investment, boost exports, and protect local industries, according to Yasser Omar, deputy chairman of the House’s Budget Committee. “It is important to change the import tariffs from time to time to tackle local and international economic developments and in a way that can create a more investment-friendly climate in Egypt,” Omar said. “Within this context, the new changes aim to protect local industries from foreign harmful practices that might negatively impact their competitive edge.”
Who’s getting tax breaks? Tariffs were reduced on more than 150 raw materials imports for local manufacturers, with a focus on the automotive industry, Omar said. Tariffs were also lowered on medical equipment, while natural-gas powered vehicles saw a 35% reduction in tariffs.
Incentivizing the use of local components: Under the decree, manufacturers who use at least 60% local components in their products will get a 40% discount on customs duties for imported components.
On the automotive side of things: A 2% import tariff will be levied on equipment to operate electric vehicle charging stations and natgas-powered vehicle fuelling stations, as well as on electric motors, batteries, control units, and ventilation systems used in electric buses.
Also seeing amended tariffs:
- Hotels and tourism firms will pay a 20% tariff on imported equipment.
- Renewable energy projects will also see a 2% levy on imported equipment.
- Manufacturing imports for baby formula will be charged a 2% tariff.
- The Arab Petroleum Pipelines Company (SUMED) will pay a 2% tariff on imported equipment, tools and spare parts.
- Arab Organization for Industrialization (AOI) affiliates will pay a 5% tariff on imported parts for train locomotives.
We’re also getting a new council to handle all of this: Finance Minister Mohamed Maait will head an import tariffs council, which will be tasked with proposing amendments to the tariffs as the economic situation develops.
BACKGROUND: This is all about lowering imports of finished goods, boosting local industry, and upping exports. The Trade and Industry Ministry is working on growing local manufacturing to limit imports across 4.8k industrial categories. The government is also aiming to increase exports to USD 100 bn a year by 2025 as part of its plan to increase the private sector’s role in the economy.
Key to localization plans is the soon-to-be-released automotive strategy, which seeks to increase local assembly, grow the component manufacturing industry, up the sector’s competitiveness to become a regional manufacturing hub, and bolster export volumes.
ALSO FROM THE HOUSE YESTERDAY-
Tawfik comes with receipts on El Nasr: Public Enterprises Minister Hisham Tawfik has submitted to the House a detailed report on El Nasr for Coke and Chemicals’ financial and administrative situation, according to Parliamentary Affairs Minister Alaa Fouad. MPs had requested the report after disputing that the company’s financials warranted liquidation, after Tawfik in January announced plans to dissolve the financially-stricken firm.
And the mud tax suspension moves forward — potentially for even longer than planned: The House approved in principle a draft bill from the government to extend the suspension of the 14% tax on agricultural land (known as “mud tax”) for an additional year to July 2023. A final vote on the bill has been delayed to a later session, after “a large number of MPs” expressed their desire to see the tax postponed for another three years rather than just one, “to relieve tax burdens on farmers and stimulate them to increase agricultural production,” House Speaker Hanafi Gibali said.

A-line has been administering the design world for quite a while, and it is certainly on the ascent, particularly for the resort season. It looks best when brandished with a touch of the 70s for somewhat of a bend. A fun loving blend of manly coats with modernized flower prints or beautiful crisscrosses, trimmed cuts, and high-waisted flared fits or straight-leg pants worn with mentors, can leave no uncertainty. A-line jumpsuits, and dresses, or skirts with weaving, matched with shirts or sews, are ladylike, thus 2019!

The people who prefer this are the ones who require everything at best quality. Nothing satisfies them if it is not worth the trouble. They often look for styles that make a statement on the quality, polished manner and culture. Most of them are the ones who are from higher status and are also in a way related to how a businesswoman would dress up. Sophisticated can be characterized as businesswoman minus the formal look. Culture and luxury mean the most to the people who choose this style of fashion.
Preppy girls, often named simply ‘preps’, love to rock a college-inspired wardrobe.

Her hair is almost always amped up with a cute little headband and she usually wears glasses- whether she really needs to or not! This style may appear geeky and slightly luxurious, but the look itself is really not expensive and extravagant at all.

Various diffent reasons (colds, tummyaches, tiredness, new babies etc..) prevented me and most of my friends from enjoying the fish festival this weekend. So we all made up for it the next day with a do-it-yourself pizza party. It was a warm breezy Sunday afternoon, we sat on a terrace high above the sea watching the ships far out at sea. The colours of the sea and the sky were the same, blurring the horizon into inexistance, causing an optical illusion that semmingly made the ships sail through the sky.
The men made pizzas and calzones with various fillings and toppings and fed them into the pizza oven on the side of the terrace. We ate, drank and laughed the afternoon away until all too soon it was time to head back down to work and wait for the boats to come in.

These cookies are delicious! Rich buttery flavor with the touch of fruity sweetness from the preserves.
The man’s mother makes a cookie tray for each of her children. These are one of her cookies and my favorite by far! This year she turned 80 and has realized it’s too much work to make so many cookies. She made a 3 ring binder for each of her grandchildren with all of her recipes and a beautiful handwritten not to each of them. What a special gift!!
Last night we made her thumbprint cookies. This was my first shot at making these and while not as pretty as hers (which are always perfectly round), they taste the same! We are bringing them to a family party tonight.
These are ridiculously simple with easy ingredients and dough that is perfect to work with!
2 Cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup butter softened
2 eggs, separated
1/8 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
finely chopped pecans (or walnuts) to roll cookies in
Any flavor fruit preserves (I used apricot and raspberry)
Preheat the oven to 350F. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, butter, egg yolks, salt and vanilla. Beat at low speed scraping the bowl often until smooth (about 2 minutes).
Shape rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into 1-inch balls.
In small bowl whisk the egg whites until foamy (this is clear with many bubbles)
Dip each ball into the whites and then into the finely chopped nuts.
Place about 1 inch apart on greased cookie sheets (or parchment/silpat)
Make a depression in the center of each cookie with the back of the teaspoon.
Bake for 8 minutes, remove carefully and place a small teaspoon of preserves in the center. Return to oven and bake for approximately 7-9 more minutes (or until lightly browned on the edges).
Makes about 36 cookies!

U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Passes Senator Paul Simon Water For The World Act
“In an exciting move for the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) community, the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee passed the Senator Paul Simon Water for the World Act of 2011 (S 641), bringing the bill one step closer to becoming a law,” PSI’s “Healthy Lives” blog reports (Petoskey, 6/20). “The bill, introduced by Senators Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), has broad bipartisan support in the Senate,” the ONE Blog notes, adding, “If enacted, the bill would provide better access to clean water and sanitation to the world’s poorest communities through an efficient and cost effective strategy” (Brennan, 6/20). “The House [HR 3658] and Senate versions of the legislation have some differences, but ultimately, both seek to provide safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene for millions of people, largely by improving upon the 2005 Senator Paul Simon Water for the Poor Act and making the way that the United States provides foreign aid on water and WASH projects more efficient,” advocate Elizabeth Shope writes in the Natural Resource Defense Council’s “Switchboard” blog. She asks representatives to “call on the House Foreign Affairs Committee to move the bill” (6/20).

A Black problem in liberal Democrat rhetoric refers to a white Democratic party candidate's inability to relate to African American voters. Two examples from the 2016 presidential election and 2020 presidential election illustrate:
- John Podesta spoke of Hillary Rodham Clinton's "Eric Garner problem." Garner was a black man killed in police custody while in a choke hold in 2014. Podesta wrote, "we know we have an Eric Garner problem," getting Blacks to vote for Hillary Clinton in light of her Superpredator comments to "bring them to heal.
- Mayor Pete Buttigieg was criticized by David Axelrod, Marcia Fudge, Politico, The Daily Beast and others for having a "black problem."


Catron County – New Mexico State Police and Motor Transportation Police have deployed additional officers to the Catron County area due to forecasted heavy rainfall in the next few days.
Officers will support and assist the Catron County Sheriff’s Department, New Mexico National Guard and citizens due to possible flooding as a result of flooding in the area of the Whitewater-Baldy Complex fire burn scar.
Officers will assist with security patrols, traffic control, evacuations, and calls for service as needed or requested by the Catron County Sheriff’s Department in Southern Catron County.

Call it the Return of Fauci.
It’s not that Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, America’s top infectious disease expert, ever actually went anywhere. It just often seemed that way as he fell out of favor with his boss, President Trump, and was sidelined even as the country grappled with a pandemic.
Now it is Mr. Trump who is leaving, and on Thursday, his successor had a message for Americans: Dr. Fauci will soon be back in the mix.
“I asked him to stay on in the exact same role he’s had for the past several presidents,” President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. said, “and I asked him to be a chief medical adviser for me as well, and be part of the Covid team.”
On Friday morning, Dr. Fauci told NBC’s “Today” show he had accepted the offer “right on the spot.”
Mr. Trump had at times been openly scornful of Dr. Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and appeared put off by his popularity. The president, who often dismissed the threat of the coronavirus, was also frustrated by Dr. Fauci’s endorsements of masks and restrictions on movement, preferring the counsel of advisers who backed his call to reopen the economy as soon as possible.
Even before Mr. Biden’s announcement Thursday, Dr. Fauci found himself in the news as American and British health officials skirmished over the U.K.’s announcement that it had beaten the U.S. in the race to approve a vaccine.
Gavin Williamson, Britain’s education secretary, appeared to be crowing.
“We’ve obviously got the best medical regulators,” he said. “Much better than the French have. Much better than the Belgians have. Much better than the Americans have.”
Dr. Fauci seemed more than a little skeptical.
The British authorities, he said, moved more quickly only because they had not scrutinized the vaccine test data as carefully as their American counterparts. “We have the gold standard of a regulatory approach,” he said.
Later, a chagrined-looking Dr. Fauci, who is ordinarily averse to public conflict, appeared on British television saying that he wanted to apologize.
“We do things a bit more differently, that’s all — not better, not worse, just differently,” he told the BBC.

- 1842 â€“ Ether anesthesia is used for the first time, in an operation by the American surgeon Dr. Crawford Long.
- 1867 â€“ Alaska is purchased from Russia for $7.2 million, about 2 cent/acre ($4.19/kmÂ²), by United States Secretary of State William H. Seward.
Call by some, Seward’s Folly, the purchase of Russian Alaska was generally seen as a good thing by the American public.
Historian Ellis Paxson Oberholtzer summarized the minority opinion of some newspaper editors who opposed the purchase:
Already, so it was said, we were burdened with territory we had no population to fill. The Indians within the present boundaries of the republic strained our power to govern aboriginal peoples. Could it be that we would now, with open eyes, seek to add to our difficulties by increasing the number of such peoples under our national care? The purchase price was small; the annual charges for administration, civil and military, would be yet greater, and continuing. The territory included in the proposed cession was not contiguous to the national domain. It lay away at an inconvenient and a dangerous distance. The treaty had been secretly prepared, and signed and foisted upon the country at one o’clock in the morning. It was a dark deed done in the nightâ€¦ The New York World said that it was a â€˜sucked orange.â€™ It contained nothing of value but furbearing animals, and these had been hunted until they were nearly extinct. Except for the Aleutian Islands and a narrow strip of land extending along the southern coast the country would be not worth taking as a giftâ€¦ Unless gold were found in the country much time would elapse before it would be blessed with Hoe printing presses, Methodist chapels and a metropolitan police. It was â€˜a frozen wilderness.â€™
The financial value of the Alaska Purchase turned out to be many times greater than what the United States had paid for it. The land turned out to be rich in resources (including gold, copper, and oil).

We're always thrilled with the top-quality product that Los Angeles rock band, Radio Ritual, provides us. Formed in 2019 by Argentinian guitar player Burton Car and Maclovio Perez III from San Antonio, Texas, the pandemic was when these creatives chose to get down and dirty in the name of rock n roll.
Making a name for themselves by becoming well-known throughout Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Mexico, and Colombia, these LA rockers are ready to tackle the rest of the world with their mesmerizing hits.
Composed of Burton Car and Tinu Cer on bass, Mac Perez on guitar and background vocals, and the band's latest addition, frontman Dillon Daeson, the sky's the limit for Radio Ritual as they continue to fill our speakers with each new track released.
As our minds fill with a heavy rock essence that takes on a soothingly intoxicating feel, Radio Ritual has our senses peaking with "Wake Up." An eclectic twist takes over as we admire the wavy guitar riffs, spacious percussion, and overall the reverberated atmosphere that strikes up a psychedelic ether that we would love to reside in.
As Dillon Daeson's vocalization sends chills down our spine, there's a refreshing impact that surfaces when hearing lyrical motifs like 'I feel pleasure when proving people wrong. Give me that sweet sensation.' There's a weighty sense of relatability when finding the more profound meaning laced into each word performed. The concept of proving all the doubters wrong sits in a sweet spot within ourselves, and although we don't do anything for them at the end of the day, there's a bliss that surrounds the entire thesis that Radio Ritual effortlessly captures.
Always eager to tackle the familiar tenors with an amplified passion for creating ear candy, Radio Ritual has you covered. The rhythmic ambiance sweeps you into a more profound sense of self, all while shining a light on what they have to offer as a band. Please don't sleep on the continuous momentum of Radio Ritual as they have you covered in every aspect of what life throws your way.
Welcome back to BuzzMusic, Radio Ritual. It’s always great when we get to chat it up with you. Since welcoming your new frontman Dillion Daeson to the band, how have things been for you all? How did this come to be?
Hey! Thanks for having us back! It was actually very unexpected as we weren’t auditioning singers when we met Dillon, but since day one we started working on songs, ideas and we just clicked from the first moment. Dillon has a great style that blends perfectly with the music we are currently doing. We couldn’t be more excited for this new phase of Radio Ritual!
What is the deeper meaning that you’ve weaved into “Wake Up?" What does this track say about you as a band and where you’re headed?
It’s basically calling out and shutting down anyone who has ever shown doubt or disregarded someone on a mission to make something of themselves. And to remind the one in pursuit of their goal, purpose, or dream, that they have the strength to pull through and make it happen.
With a music video in the works, could you please share with your listeners what they can expect from the vision being brought to life?
Our listeners and fans can expect another incredible vídeo by Nate Ledger who has worked with us before. The video will resemble the intensity and drive our music brings to the rock community.
After the Gibson Guitar Showcase in 2020, are you ready to hit the road and perform again? What songs are you most excited to perform live?
We are currently working on our first EP that will include all néw original songs created in the last few months with this new lineup. Radio Ritual is ready to hit the road with a new lineup with better than ever songs and the same attitude we have since the beginning.

LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has called off his visit to flood affected areas os South Punjab due to inclement weather conditions.
The former minister had decided to visit flood-affected areas in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa after heavy monsoon rainfall wreaked havoc in the country. Punjab Chief Minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi was expected to accompany him during the visit to southern districts of Punjab.
Senior PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry said on the first leg of his visit, Imran Khan will visit Dera Ghazi Khan and Rajanpur Districts where the relief operation will be carried out first.
According to reports, Imran Khan has issued directives to Punjab and KP governments to expedite relief activities and is receiving regular updates on the relief and rescue operations.
It was reported that Imran Khan is also in constant touch with the provincial governments and had directed the KP government to carry out timely relief activities in flood-hit areas of Swat.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will visit flood-affected Sindh districts on Friday to review relief efforts. The prime minister had earlier visited flood-hit areas of Balochistan.
The prime minister will land in Sukkur Airport. However, Chief Minister Murad Shah will not meet him or accompany him on the aerial tour of the flood-affected areas.
PM Shehbaz Sharif will visit Jamshoro, Sukkur, Nawabshah and Khairpur districts. He will be briefed about the ongoing relief and rehabilitation work in the following districts, including food supply, drinking water and basic health facilities to the displaced people.
Federal Minister for Climate Change Sherry Rehman has revealed that over 900 people were killed during monsoon rains across Pakistan since June this year.
The minister shared that the highest number of deaths and injuries during the time period was recorded in Sindh and Balochistan. “Since June, 903 people, including 326 children and 191 women, have died in various incidents of monsoon rains and floods,” she said.
Heavy monsoon rains and floods have affected 2.3 million people in Pakistan since mid-June, according to a United Nations report.
More than 504,000 livestock have been killed, while nearly 3,000 kilometers (1,864 miles) of roads and 129 bridges have been damaged, blocking access to flood-affected areas.
Imran Khan will visit flood-affected areas tomorrow, says Fawad
Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan will visit flood-affected areas of the country…


LAHORE: PML-N Central Media Coordinator Muhammad Mehdi has alleged that Imran Khan and Tahirul Qadri planned to attack and occupy the Parliament House, Presidency and Prime Minister’s House two days ago.
Speaking at a press conference here on Sunday, he claimed the aim of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) leadership was to “get some bodies to give a boost to their sinking political boat”.
He said the government had exercised restraint until the last moment and removed police from the route of the marchers when they had entered the Red Zone and then when they marched towards the PM’s House.
But, Mehdi lamented, the protesters changed their route and tried to enter the Presidency. Announcements were made through loudspeakers asking activists to occupy the Parliament House, he added.
He claimed the government only discharged its duty of protecting and ensuring sanctity of state institutions when the protesters “assaulted the symbols of state”.
Responding to a query, the PML-N leader said both the PTI and PAT leaders had brought supporters’ women and children with them, but sent their own children abroad. He said Imran sent both his sons to London on Aug 12, while Dr Qadri’s family went to Canada before the start of the march. Similarly, he claimed, Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi’s son Moonis Elahi had also gone abroad.
Also Read: Imran parts ways with Hashmi
Referring to PTI President Javed Hashmi’s press conference earlier on Sunday, Mehdi said it exposed Imran and Dr Qadri’s “anti-people and insensitive approach” and made it clear the two parties were working on a foreign agenda for “blocking investment in the country and stopping Gwadar Port from becoming operational”.
AWP: The Awami Workers Party has reiterated its support for the parliamentary democratic system in the country, and has once again rejected the “dubious methods of the PTI and PAT”, warning that the mayhem that has unfolded in front of the Parliament House and PM’s House may descend into total breakdown of constitutional rule.
The AWP said democratic political forces had already been forced into retreat by the announcement on the night of Aug 28 that the military would act as a ‘facilitator’ between the government and the protesting parties, and the threat of a direct military intervention was growing greater by the day.
AWP President Abid Hasan Minto, Chairman Fanoos Gujjar and General Secretary Farooq Tariq emphasised the “complete bankruptcy” of Imran Khan and Tahirul Qadri, who were holding the country hostage to their narrow agenda.
The AWP leadership said only the left had a workable political programme for genuine democracy and fundamental change in Pakistan. Right-wing populists like Dr Qadri and Imran had cheapened the idea of revolution by associating it with their elitist, megalomaniacal and reactionary politics, they added.
The party leaders asserted any anti-democratic move by the establishment under the guise of anti-government protests should be opposed at all costs as despite the civilian government’s major economic and political failings, it retained a mandate to fulfil its term in office.

While the U.S. was celebrating its independence, the folks at EK Water Blocks in Slovenia were busy announcing some of the company’s upcoming cooling accessories. EKWB revealed plans to expand the recently launched Fluid Gaming product line.
At the end of May, EK Water Blocks launched an affordable water cooling product line called the Fluid Gaming Series. EKWB sells the Fluid Gaming Series hardware in complete kits that include the pump, reservoir, fittings, water block, tubing, and fluid to take the guesswork out of configuring a full loop yourself. EKWB’s Fluid Gaming Series kits are significantly more affordable than the company’s flagship parts, but there’s a big catch: EKWB milled the new hardware from aluminum, which is not compatible with standard copper parts. If you mix copper parts with aluminum parts in the same water cooling loop, the metals will rapidly corrode.
When EKWB announced the Fluid Gaming Series, the company noted that it would release accessories for the new water cooling platform later. Yesterday, EKWB released details about its plans to expand the series.
EKWB announced that it would release a radiator expansion pack for the Fluid Gaming Series at the end of the month. Currently, you can order Fluid Gaming kits with single 120mm and 240mm radiators. By the end of July, you’ll have access to extra 240mm radiators, and EKWB also plans to release a 360mm version at the same time.
Connecting extra parts to your loop requires additional fittings. EKWB’s existing lineup of fittings are made of copper, so you can’t use those to expand your Fluid Gaming Series loop. The company didn’t say whether the radiator expansion kits would include fittings, but it did say that it would release a lineup of aluminum fittings, including 45-degree and 90-degree angled fittings. There are no plans to release hard tubing compression fittings for the Fluid Gaming Series.
EKWB said it plans to announce a larger lineup of accessories later this month, which would include pump holders, fans, and other water cooling accessories. The company also confirmed that additional GPU blocks would be available at a later date, including blocks for upcoming AMD and Nvidia graphics cards.

The Young Press was designed by the Bodum Design Group to develop a modern yet functional coffee press that delivers top quality coffee and can be used in a variety of environments. The durable frame is made of santoprene - a hard rubber like material. The windows are made of clear polycarbonate. Together, these two layers form a protective skin around the glass beaker that helps prevent breakage, making the Young Press an ideal press for home, office, boat, and even camping. The glass beaker can easily be removed for cleaning and placement in the dishwasher. For those who prefer to hand-wash they Young Press, they don't need to worry as much about knocking the glass beaker against a metal sink. The Young Press' frame also assists in keeping the coffee hot longer while insuring that the body of the press remains cool to the touch and is safe to set on most surfaces. Should the glass beaker break, it is easily replaced with the the standard Bodum 8-Cup Replacement Glass.
The young Press brews 8 - 4oz. cups of coffee or 1.0 litter / 34 oz.
This size is ideal for serving 2 - 3 people.

STRATFORD - Stratford's mayor has proposed a plan to honor Victoria Soto, a teacher killed last month in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
John Harkins says he wants to rename Honeyspot Elementary School in her memory. Soto, who grew up in Stratford, was murdered while shielding her students from gunfire. Harkins says he has spoken to her family about the idea, which may include a statue.
Residents have also proposed renaming the street in front of Stratford High School in her honor.
City officials say the town board could vote as early as next week on both plans.

The University of Technology Sydney’s Quantitative Finance Research Centre always has a plethora of financial research projects simmering away, with 2015-release projects looking at a variety of finance topics impacting the Australian finance industry. These topics include discussions and investigations of retirement incentives and member engagement; the impacts of social interactions, adaptive learning and different opinions on asset pricing; and theoretical approaches to pension fund economics.
A rundown of the financial research projects set to be released in 2015 follows.
A New Theoretical Approach to Pension Fund Economics, Asset Management and Insurance
Costing $270,000 across three years, this research is to provide groundbreaking approaches to the pricing and hedging of long-dated contracts, the type usually found in pensions, insurance policies, and variable annuities. The researchers, Professors Eckhard Platen and Erik Schlogl, propose a design shift that allows the creation of sustainable pension schemes that are significantly less expensive to build than the current system could ever permit.
The drawdown-constrained portfolios will be built with maximum long-term growth rates using Platen’s own benchmark approach. The goal is to dramatically increase retirement benefits using new theoretical understandings of risk and asset management in pension schemes.
Alternative Approaches to Structuring Retirement Incentives and the Drivers that Affect Consumer Engagement
The Department of Treasury has commissioned a study into how superannuation and retirement funds can better achieve the accumulation phase goals of members using a deeper understanding of the elements that drive engagement in retirement funds.
The research is being carried out by Professors Dave Michayluk and Brockman for the Centre of Excellence for International Finance and Regulation Consortium, using Australian and United States’ schemes, both of which provide great swathes of research fodder due to their distinctive differences. The different components in each of the regimes is a possible driving force in member engagement, therefore impacting on accumulation phase savings goals.
Asset Pricing with Social Interactions, Adaptive Learning, and Differences in Opinion
This $200,000-plus research project, conducted over three years by Kai Li, Professor Xuezhong He and Dr Lei Shi, aims to develop greater understanding and a framework for measuring the impact of social interactions, adaptive learning and differences of opinion when it comes to evolving asset pricing. This will help to guide future policy decisions and market regulation.
Institutional transaction costs in the Australian equities market
Professor Talis Putnins is completing research to better understand the characteristics and efficiencies in the Australian equities market, to analyse trends and the impact of recent changes in market structures, such as the regulation of dark trading and the introduction of Chi-X. The growth in algorithmic and high-frequency trading is also being measured. Regulatory data will be used to reconstruct parent+ orders executed gradually through smaller child+ orders, allowing for more accurate measurement of transaction costs. This is done by accounting for price impact during the gradual execution of the large order.
The implications for this project will spill into policy level and go towards improving market structure, possibly regulating high-frequency/algorithmic trading, and allow a closer look at the regulation of dark trading.
Mutual Fund Connections, Investment Strategy Distinctiveness and Performance
This project looks at how mutual fund connectedness impacts on performance using social network proxies as a measure – that is, the number of fund managers who are sharing their time and efforts with other funds within the same funds management company.
While previous research has focused on how mutual fund portfolio holdings similarity affects fund performance, this study wants to see what the implications are for fund connections in performance and investment strategy distinctiveness.
The study is being conducted by Dr Lorenzo Casavecchia and C. Dobson for the Accounting & Finance Association of Australia and New Zealand under a research grant.
Other industry studies currently in progress at UTS include:
- CIFR - Financial System Inquiry into Red Tape and counter-cyclical policy options
- Effects of Bank Capital Recommendations from the Financial System Inquiry
- Optimisation Algortihums for Planning and Scheduling Dedicated Resources
- Pricing & Risk Management for High Frequency Cyclical Commodity Motels
- Risk assessment of climate change mitigation measures
- Systematic credit portfolio risk and implications on regulations for bank capitals and securitisation ratings - CIFR Project
- Too central to fail: financial networks, risks and policy responses - Centre of Excellence for International Finance & Regulation

Since it’s a little slow for releases in San Diego here at the beginning of 2017, I decided to start the year off with a review of a local release that was passed over from the 3rd quarter of last year. To be clear up-front, this is not a punk record although it has some root elements of the genre. After breaking up 8 years ago, The New Addiction reunited to go to work on a new, decidedly alt/pop/rock, EP titled Filters. Since that time, they have played a handful of shows to support the release at various venues around town including The Soda Bar, The Merrow, and perhaps more notably at The House of Blues with The Spill Canvas.
The release wastes no time with drawn out intros or ambient build ups as many artists do these days. Instead the opening track titled Faces dives right into a solid groove with a guitar melody reminiscent of something The Knack would play. The guitars are open, the vocals are melodic, and it all leads into what is probably the most catchy chorus on the release…and I emphasize *catchy*! It’s nicely phrased and lyrically cool, exactly as one who enjoys a good sing-along would hope for. The track is consistent throughout with a small breakdown at a minute and forty seconds and a great unexpected pause that sucker punches you square in the nose outta nowhere at 2:25. I love this track!
Next, things seem to heat up a little. Receiver dials up the gain on the guitars and brings a little more attitude. I don’t mean this in any sort of over-the-top paradigm shift type of way, but just enough to stand out as the singer shouts, “turn my god-damn radio off your receiver!” The vocals are stylistically reminiscent of something Arm the Angels used to put out. It’s another safely solid track with a half-time break down at 2:10 worthy of toe taps and body shakes! The New Addiction does a really nice job showcasing diversity and depth from song to song with Faces leaning firmly in the alt pop realm and Receiver shifting to more rock based tones. The subsequent track is further evidence of a wide range of influences.
Bringing yet another flavor to the table, Cornerstone sounds off with a slow-mid-tempo reverse double time snare beat and a dirty baseline that thumps away against distant sustained guitars saturated in reverb. I’ve listened to this EP several times, but looking back to my first spin, I remember spacing out on this song thinking that I was listening to a different band. More specifically, I thought I had downloaded a single from Minus the Bear and forgot that I had done so only to have it pop up on an mp3 shuffle and surprise me. The almost shoegaze-esque guitars and vocals did deceive me and it wasn’t until the chorus that I snapped out of it as the band brings back more of a signature The New Addiction sound. It’s a sound that showcases a certain degree of maturity and thoughtfulness that no doubt comes from many years of writing and arranging music.
Three in a row…tic tac toe! …and the EP goes on to deliver, in total, seven songs that are more than worth checking out. Again, this is not a release for punx to grind and thrash to. Rather, it’s a respectable alt rock EP put out by some fellas who clearly care about their craft and strive for professionalism. …absolutely nothing wrong with that!

The latest season of The Bachelor is all set to come to an end this week, where Clayton Echard will have to make the tough decision of choosing a life partner.
The finale of the dating series will consist of two parts, which are reported to be extremely dramatic. The two final suitresses are Rachel Recchia and Gaby Windey, one of whom will have her heart broken in the finale.
Earlier, Susie Evans' dramatic exit left viewers in shock. Her reason for discontinuing the Fantasy Suite segment was that she was not comfortable with Echard being in love with all three of them and being intimate with Recchia and Windey. And if she had continued the show, he would have been intimate with Evans too.
Meanwhile, a few trailers featured Echard being in a tough spot while making a decision during the rose ceremony. Read on to learn more about the finale episode.
The Bachelor episode 10 drops this Monday
The finale is The Bachelor’s tenth episode, which will air live in two parts — A and B. Episode 10 Part A will be released on Monday, March 14 at 8.00 pm ET on ABC, while part B will air on Tuesday, March 15 at the same time and network.
The episodes can also be streamed on Hulu. Viewers who don’t have the ABC channel can opt for several streaming services such as Fubo TV, Hulu + Live TV Stream, Sling, YouTube TV, Philo and DirecTV Stream. The episode will also be available on the network’s website after its premiere.
All about the finale of Clayton Echard’s season
Multiple promo clips have been shared online by the network related to The Bachelor season 26 finale. After a heartbreaking split with Susie Evans, Echard is devastated and decides to tell Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey the truth.
In a preview clip, Echard was seen telling the ladies that he’s in love and was intimate with both of them. This was shown to happen during the final rose ceremony where Recchia and Windey were seen shocked. They began questioning their relationship with Echard and were seen crying. The Bachelor’s lead was also in tears and said in a confessional that he’s “so broken.”
The office synopsis of the finale episode part A reads:
“It all comes down to this. After a heartbreaking and unexpected breakup with Susie, Clayton finds himself questioning everything as he heads into the rose ceremony we’ve all awaited. When Clayton drops devastating news on the final two women, they’ll have to ponder their futures with our leading man."
The synopsis of part B states:
“After a rollercoaster season like none other, The Bachelor himself, Clayton Echard, returns to face the three women he fell in love with. Jesse Palmer will guide emotional conversations throughout the evening as the bombshell conclusion to Clayton’s season plays out. What happens next is anyone’s guess, but it all goes down LIVE. Plus, an exciting surprise announcement that no one will see coming.”
One of the promo clips also featured Echard’s parents, Brian and Kelly. They were seen telling their son that the suitresses, especially Evans, have the right to be upset with Echard. His parents were visibly disappointed. Only time will tell what dramatic ending The Bachelor finale has in store for viewers.

Below is a listing of the Ten Steps for Spiritual Attraction listed in my book BEYOND THE SECRET: Spiritual Power and the Law of Attraction.
Ten Steps for Spiritual Attraction
Experience a 10 step process that will help you manifest the life you are meant to live.
It’s as easy as ONE, TWO, THREE!
Orient Towards Spirit.
Know that essentially you are Spirit. As you surrender to Spirit you come from fullness, not lack. Esentially, the more fulfilled you are the less you need to attract. Rather, you become a conduit for love to emerge and find true satisfaction in living a life of service.
Negate the Ego.
Discover the ways your ego stops you from experiencing true joy, satisfaction, and peace of mind. The ego is always about grasping. It feeds on fear and encourages a constant feeling of lack. Thus, you learn to observe your ego and infuse it with Spirit overtime negating it’s constant tendency to play what I call “The See Me Game”, which always calls attention to your little self.
Engage the Soul.
The soul is the bridge between Spirit and the ego. Essentially, the soul is consciousness and love. the ego is ultimately only diminished through love. As you engage the soul you clarify and strengthen your values. You live a life of love. And, you create soul stories instead of ego stories to inspire and motivate you.
Take Time to Align.
As your ego becomes filled increasingly with Spirit through consciousness and love, you shift your identity increasingly to BE-NESS, or Spirit. Now, you align the thoughts, feelings, and actions that exist in the realm of the ego by cleaning up negative karma and shifting old patterns so you can live more fully in the present moment.
Watch and Listen.
The more the various aspects of your ego (thoughts, feelings, actions) align with Spirit the more you are able to enter the silence. Here within the silence you enter the flow and follow in a more natural way what Spirit (which is you) wants for you to be, have, and attract in life. The intuition is also cultivated allowing you to listen more deeply to the realm of Spirit primarily through meditation and other intuitive means.
Order Your Thoughts.
As you descend more into the realm of thought (and the lower realms of the dense world of the ego) mind-stuff is activated. Always the grasping nature of the ego needs to be avoided at this stage, as it can easily come into play. As the mind is held in the light of Spirit, a concrete plan for manifesting your service emerges. Typical law of attraction tools such as visualization, affirmations, and mind-mapping are all useful at this stage.
Tap Into Your Feelings.
Especially at the level of feelings the ego can overwhelm the original intention that Spirit is attempting to manifest and attract into your life. Learning to develop emotional mastery is especially important at this stage by understanding the gift of every emotion allowing you to use all of them in a conscious and effective way. Then your emotions can turn into a powerful tool for increasing the momentum you need to succeed to illuminate your life with love and to manifest your service lovingly into the world around you.
Highlight the Shadow in Others.
Especially as you prepare to manifest a service into the world the dense ego states of others (their thoughts, feelings, and actions) can rise up to oppose you. Learning to work with the ego states of others in a loving, detached, and effective way is important and helps you understand how to improve the situation by ideally transforming them, or if this is not possible coping with them, or if need be walking away from them altogether.
Remove the Shadow in Yourself.
As we near success in getting what we want the ego once again can rear it’s head. Jesus experienced this in the desert after his baptism and Buddha went through it under the Bodhi Tree. All the trappings of success can produce the “Shadow Side of the Law of Attraction” as we slip away from our identity with Spirit and once again get caught up in the lure of fame, wealth, beauty, and all the numerous games our egos play to try to “prove” how special we are, forgetting as Spirit all are special and we are everyone around us.
Execute and Easy Does It!
Moving into the realm of action skill is still required to manifest our service in the world. Skills inlcude the ability to develop a keen sense of timing, making sure you have something of real value to offer, and knowing how to build a support team to help you sustain what you manifest so it can come into full flowering in the world.

Reimondo Food Truck: Wok Hei Congee and Smokey Seafood Rolls!
The rise of Reimondo's Seafood Congee is nothing short of a miracle. Birthed during the Covid pandemic earlier this year, no one would have ever thought that Raymond would be opening a 2nd stall so soon at Timbre+ so soon! I first wrote about his stall on 5th Feb and by the end of March, he had joined the ranks of hawkers with hour-long queues, thanks to the power the Social Media.
Lucky Her Giao: A few good fish dumpling men
Her Giao, aka Teochew fish dumpling, is a traditional Teochew dish that very few Singaporeans are still making by hand.

Chin Sin Huan: Tanjong Rhu Pau gets a next gen makeover
The top three pau shops in my books used to be Tiong Bahru Pau, Teck Kee Pau and Tanjung Rhu Pau. Unfortunately, Teck Kee Pau is not more and Tiong Bahru isn't as great as before. Tanjung Rhu Pau, is the only one left which I am still buying from regularly but overall, the quality of paus in Singapore has really been quite meh over the last decade or so. Sure, we are seeing quite few new brands coming into the market which advertise themselves as 手工包 (handmade pau), but so far, I haven't really found a bao which has come close to the kind of pau I enjoyed while growing up in the 70's.

Ah Pui Satay: Ah Pui finally opens his own restaurant!
The good news is that Ah Pui has finally opened his own restaurant and you don't have to wait 6 months to get to try his satay! The not so good news is that if you rush down expecting to get blown away, then you might come away deflated. The satay still has that characteristic extra large piece of fat and Ah Pui is still behind the grill, but somehow, it seemed to have lost its mojo.
Fook Kin: Char Siu Sio Bak 2.0
You probably heard about Roast Paradise, the upstart Cantonese Roast stall at Old Airport Road started by two young men that quit the nightclub scene to pursue a hawker’s life.

In recent years, there seems to be an increased number of restaurant chefs who have decided to leave their restaurant jobs to become hawkerpreneurs.

Enjoy Eating House: Singaporean Restaurant in Singapore
Imagine stepping into a "Singaporean" restaurant in a foreign country. You see plenty of items that reminds you home and the excitement builds up when you see dishes like ter kah beehoon, satay, cendol and white pepper crabs on the menu. That is the kind of feeling I got when I first stepped into Enjoy Eating House. I could almost imagine that I've just stepped into a restaurant in Harajuku or San Francisco!

Happy belated Earth day everyone (Aren't I just about a day late for everything lately?). I thought a great thing to talk about this time of year would be starting a garden (and May is National Salad Month in the US, so I'm actually getting a little jump start on something!). I'm not an expert gardener by any means, in fact, I grow my entire garden in containers on my front patio or on my windowsills. As such, I am pretty limited in the scale of my garden, and what things I can successfully grow. No matter how large or small of a space you have, anyone can grow a small garden of their very own!
Above you will see a photo of my radish starts. I'm not huge on radishes, but the husband likes them. They are also a great crop to try if you don't have much gardening experience (or if you don't want to spend lots of long term attention on things). Radishes have a pretty short grow time (about a month) and you will get almost instant gratification because they sprout after only a couple of days. It's a great thing to plant if you have kiddos around because they will get to see something happening very quickly and could measure the progress daily.
I am also being rather brave and trying to grow some watermelons this year. I have one large pot with a vine growing right now and the plant is supposed to have personal sized watermelons, not the big guys. So I am hopeful that despite my small area maybe I will get a watermelon or two this year, and if not it's a nice experiment.
I also have visions of a "someday" garden dancing in my head, as someday the hus and I will have a house and yard. If you'd like to check out some of our ideas and lots of helpful info, you can check out my new Gardening board on Pinterest and follow along!
I also have some herbs, flowers, etc that I'm growing this year. Are any of you extra excited about your garden this year? If you need some cute ideas for labeling your garden try these Dinosaur Garden Markers or Glass Garden Markers.
