Archer's Walkable Downtown Napa Hotel
Archer's Napa boutique hotel is set in the heart of burgeoning downtown Napa, soon to be surrounded by the distinctive shops and dining of First Street Napa and just steps from the Napa Riverfront and Oxbow Public Market. With dozens of walkable tasting rooms, world-class restaurants and live entertainment, downtown Napa is poised to be the next great Napa Valley destination.
First Street Napa
Reimagining the wine country lifestyle and what a wine country getaway can be, First Street Napa is your gateway to Napa Valley's good life. Urbane, evolved, and exceedingly inviting, this landmark destination is soon to be home to destination level dining, art galleries, chic boutiques, tranquil public spaces, and a burgeoning night life scene. It's also home to our beautiful new Archer Hotel Napa – where the best of old world tradition and modern wine country hospitality come together to provide an authentically Napa experience.
Walking distance from hotel
Downtown Napa
A stay at Archer Hotel places you at the heart of a vibrant downtown Napa, with a front row seat to the new urban energy that is re-defining this gateway city. Located less than 90 minutes north of San Francisco, downtown Napa now finds itself at center stage, in part due to an enticing nightlife scene not typically found in its sleepier neighboring towns. Lively venues like Blue Note Napa Jazz Club, Uptown Theater, and Silo's ensure that the fun continues long after dark, and many of the more than 20 walkable wine tasting rooms offer extended hours for a tasty Napa nightcap. Destination-worthy restaurants - from the casual Gott's Roadside, to the Michelin-starred La Toque – satiate all appetites. Add a burgeoning shopping district, public art, inviting streetscapes and communal spaces, and it's no wonder that downtown Napa is the nouveau Napa Valley destination. And it's all just steps from our front door.
Life is certainly fine in the 1.53 square mile town of Yountville, an elegantly gentrified and centrally located Napa Valley hamlet boasting more Michelin stars per capita than any place in North America. This is Thomas Keller territory, and home to several of the celebrated chef's restaurants: The French Laundry, Bouchon, ad hoc + addendum, and the fresh-from-the-oven croissant-scented Bouchon Bakery. Boasting a number of other lauded eateries, it's no wonder that Yountville commands the unofficial title of "Culinary Capital of the Napa Valley." More than a dozen wine tasting rooms and 40 outdoor artworks - all within walking or biking distance from any point in town - round-out Yountville's bon vivant atmosphere.
9 miles / 15 minutes north of Napa
St. Helena
Delivering the best in wine country lifestyle, St. Helena and its quaint two-block Main St. are captivating. Located at the narrowing of the Valley floor, its vibrant retail district is balanced by quiet, Sycamore-lined residential streets featuring winsome 19th century architecture, all surrounded by the stunning Mayacamas mountains and the Napa River. You'll find dozens of gourmet eateries, clothing and shoe boutiques, housewares, and of course, wine. Napa's winemaking heritage actually began in St. Helena, home to the region's first winery, Charles Krug. St. Helena is also home to the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone, housed in a not-to-be-missed grand stone building, formerly the Christian Brothers winery.
18 miles / 30 minutes north of Napa
"Relax…it's Calistoga." With this unofficial motto, the small town of Calistoga, located at the base of Mount Saint Helena in the northern most tip of the Valley, invites visitors to enjoy the soothing and curative properties of its famed natural hot springs and volcanic mud baths. These quintessential Calistoga treatments can be enjoyed at spas both casual and chic. Similarly, local restaurants and accommodations range from modest to Michelin-starred. In spite of modern transformations, unpretentious Calistoga (a favored spot for hikers and cyclists) retains a rustic charm and offers a glimpse into the wine country of old.
29 miles / 45 minutes north of Napa
The Napa Valley
One of the most bountiful and bucolic wine regions in the world, the Napa Valley each year welcomes millions of visitors – each eager to experience a wine country lifestyle defined by understated elegance, fine food, adventure, and of course the captivating end product of the humble grape's magical transformation. At just 30 miles in length and five miles wide, the Napa Valley is home to nearly 400+ tasting rooms and wineries, each with its own vantage point of unparalleled beauty. (Visit the Archer's Rooftop for a commanding 360° view.)
50 miles / 90 minutes northwest of Napa

Twilight of the Romantics: Strauss, Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky
The dancers performed with skill and passion. Lauren Michelle Richmond contributed an intense performance as The Chosen One during the "Sacrificial Dance".
The Chicago Philharmonic, on the other hand, flexed their muscles for a powerful reading of this work. The size of the ensemble, which is slightly more compact than a full symphony orchestra, allowed them to bring out every complex rhythmic nuance of this piece with pinpoint accuracy.
Beauty and power abound in Chicago Philharmonic season opener .
Erin Cano, examiner.com read more:
A big anniversary this year was, of course, the centenary of Igor Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring," which the Joffrey commemorated with its unsurpassed re-creation of Vaslav Nijinsky's original choreography. On a dance program you cannot do better. But concert performances of "The Rite" do not normally add a dance component, and Sunday's did, in the form of several scenes performed by the Agnieszka Laska Dancers, who often paid tribute to Nijinsky's choreography while softening its radical nature.

Agnieszka Laska took on a challenging task: choreographing all 24 Chopin preludes Op. 28. So far she's completed 14 – all presented in different configurations on various occasions related to her heritage: Polish Festival in Portland, Polish Independence Day, etc. For the Polish Festivals in Portland and Seattle she's combined them with Nocturne Op. 9: No. 1 in B-Flat Minor resulting in a very romantic and emotional set of solos, duets and group dances, with a distinct Polish flavor.

A brief history: Last year State Senator Suzanne Bonamici took a leap of faith and proposed Concurrent Resolution 5, establishing the last week in April as Oregon Dance Week. "Even in difficult economic times, it's important to recognize the benefits of arts and culture" Bonamici stated during the initial vote. The resolution was quickly adopted by the Oregon State Legislature.
The resolution recognizes that, "…dance contributes to the well-being of individuals who watch dance performances… and opportunities to go dancing lend vibrancy and vitality to the community".

Camille Claudel was a risk-taking artist in France who studied with the famous Rodin in Paris during the late 1800s. Theresa Koon's passionate portrait paints Claudel's tumultuous struggle with her family, her affair with Rodin and her burning inner conflict of whether or not to allow her creativity out into the world. Libretto and Music by Theresa Koon, directed by Kevin Yell, conducted by David Hattner.

Melbourne, Australia (PressExposure) December 25, 2011 -- Degenerativediscdiseasetreatment.org is a popular online site which gives you complete information on Degenerative Disc Disease such as Degenerative Disc Disease causes, Degenerative Disc Disease symptoms, degenerative disc disease treatment, Degenerative Disc Disease Exercises and so on.
From this site you will thoroughly understand the root cause of this particular disease. The Degenerative disc disease causes lots of ache and distress; it can be caused by other diseases such as spinal stenosis as well as osteoarthritis of the spinal cord. If you are suffering from osteoarthritis of the spine, then your pain is generating from the vertebra since it is being aggravated and reddened due to the density of the spinal discs. The spine will try to cure itself and as a result, small stones of calcium are produced on the spinal cord and that why a person experiences painful attacks as the spinal column lacks mobility.
The major symptoms of degenerative disc disease include chronic pain at the thigh hip and lower back while walking and standing. Such a person would difficult bending the body down to either the front or the back.
You will be aware of different treatments options for degenerative disc disease from this site. The most accepted method of treating this state is the over the counter medication of paracetamol to ease the pain. Codeine can also be used together with paracetamol for effectual ache relief. There are a number of prescription medications which are anti-inflammatory that you can use to decrease pain. Steroids can be taken directly as injections into the back. A newer degenerative disc disease treatment in the form of injection is the use of hyaluronic acid. Other studies on treatment using hyaluronic injections theorize that it helps in lubricating the spinal pads. It is necessary that you seek advice from your doctor before starting any treatment.
From this site you will come to know the importance of physical activities such as exercises to repair damage to the spinal cord and also to lessen the back pain. Controlled and steady physical exercises distribute nutrients and minerals into the soft tissues and disc space in the back which helps in keeping the joints, ligaments, muscles and discs strong. Start making use of a periodic exercise program to help in reduce the recurrences of lower back pain. But remember as you perform these degenerative disc disease exercises always use the correct form as you perform the exercises. This is vital since if you do not use the correct form you could perhaps harm yourself even more.
Every physical exercise mainly depends on the harshness of pain and the illness of a particular patient. This essentially means that the back pain routines are going to differ from one person to another. It is highly suggested that you seek advice from your doctor before going for any degenerative disc disease exercises.
Degenerativediscdiseasetreatment.org includes:
1. Degenerative Disc Disease Causes,
2. Degenerative Disc Disease Symptoms,

Re: John Quinney, Essex Cavalry
In reply to:
John Quinney, Witham, Essex
I too have been researching the Quinney line in Scotland, which, as Bob Jeffrey states in this forum, are all descended from John Quinney of the Essex Light Dragoons, but I found John Q. married a Janet Jackson in Haddington, East Lothian Scotland on 1st April 1798.
They had 2 sons: GEORGE (OPR birth entry: Quiwney/OPR baptism entry: Quinzey), born 11 Jan 1805 & THOMAS JOHN (OPR entry as Quiney) born Jan 27 1807.
They also had 2 daughters:JEAN (OPR entry as Queenie/ Queenzie), born 14 Nov 1801 & JUDITH (OPR entry;Queenzie), born 3 Jun 1803
Thomas John Quinney wrote a book " Sketches of a Soldiers Life in India", which is available to read online ( search Google Books for the Title). The start of this book gives a summary of his family life in which he states that his father is 'a native of Essex'.
This, together with the names of his children, leads me to believe that John Quinney's family are more likely to be George Quinney & Judith Banbrick of Witham in Essex, who also had a son named Thomas.
I have more info on the Scottish line of Quinney if anyone wants it.


text: Goofy question. When we booked our December cruise I went on a diet and excercise program. Now I'm 45lbs lighter and I've noticed (wife has noticed too!) that my sex drive is in over-drive! I'm thinking it's the combination of high protein and multi-vitamins. I just can't get enough and the wife is considering sleeping with barb wire around the vital parts to thwart those early a.m morning attacks. Is this a common side effect to weight loss? Any other guys (or gals) notice this after losing weight?

Like most other STEM advocates, we have devoted a great deal attention to the critical shortage of women and girls in many STEM fields. A short article in Forbes magazine offers a timely reminder of another STEM gender gap that could have profound effects on our economy: the shortage of men.
Recent projections from the Bureau of Labor statistics underscore the stakes. Between 2016 and 2026, there will be almost 540,000 new jobs for registered nurses (median wage: $68,450), nurse practitioners (median wage: $104,610) and physician assistants (median wage: $102,090). Each of these occupations requires very substantial STEM knowledge and skill, and each is growing much faster than average. According to Economic Modeling Specialists International, more than 90 percent of registered nurses and nurse practitioners are female, as are 65 percent of physician's assistants. It will be much easier to fill these jobs over the next decade if we attract more men to the profession.
So far, so bad. The gender gaps are already enormous in high school:
In fact, the gaps are getting worse, not better:
These jobs in health care pay very well, they're growing, and they're critical to our national well being as Americans age. We can't keep drawing the lion's share of our health care workforce from just half the American population.
Washington State may have a bright future if it maintains its dominance in the tech sector, but that could be a tall order. Lack of diversity in the STEM workforce could be the state's Achilles heel, and that challenge has its roots in K-12.
It should surprise no one that STEM jobs pay in a state with companies like Microsoft and Boeing call home. STEM jobs in Washington State may well grow 15 percent in the coming decade, and the state's STEM wage premium is enormous:
Unfortunately, people of color are least likely to reap these rewards. Notice for example, who earns degrees and certificates in computing or engineering:
The green line in each chart represents minorities as a percentage of the college-aged population. The blue line represents the percentage of degrees and certificates that went to minorities. The wider the space between the two lines, the less well represented minorities are.
If you squint, you might seem some improvement in the last half-decade or so, but the gaps remain enormous. Black, Latino, and American Indian Washingtonians at state colleges and universities are still much less likely than their white or Asian peers to receive credentials in STEM.
The problem starts early, and it might get worse. For example, science scores for white eighth-graders in the state have climbed steadily since 2009, while those of black and Latino students have languished:
Math scores follow similar trends, and black students fare the worst.
One possible reason: Underrepresented students of color seem to have less access to STEM learning opportunities. Teachers of African American students are less likely to say they have the resources they need to teach science:
Access to lab equipment and supplies is also very uneven, and again students of color get the short end of the stick:
Even those students of color who have the potential to succeed on Advanced Placement tests in STEM often don't take them:
Many may attend schools that don't offer AP classes or their equivalents.
These disadvantages can add up over time and exacerbate the gaps. In Washington State, Blacks and Hispanics hold only seven percent of computing jobs and five percent of engineering jobs, even though they make up 15 percent of the state's working-age population. For a state that will need all the STEM talent it can get, such inequities can be devastating.
Fortunately, STEM advocates in organizations like WashingtonSTEM have worked with state leaders to put STEM education at the forefront. The state has embraced robust new science standards. It aims to increase students' access to computer science education. It is bringing STEM into early childhood education. It will take time for policies like these to affect the workforce, but they are a vital down-payment on the state's prosperitys.

Summer is unofficially over and kids are back in school. This time of year always gets me thinking about the past and my own children preparing to start the new semester.
Back then, we talked a lot about the three Rs – reading, 'riting and 'rithmetic. Of course, a lot has changed over time. Most kids today probably know the three R's as "Reduce, Recycle and Reuse." Maybe the world used to be a simpler place, but to succeed in today's technology-based economy, young people need to do more than master the basics. They need to focus on a new acronym – STEM.
Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) have always been important, but as they become increasingly crucial to a growing variety of activities, schools are finding it more difficult to meet these educational needs alone. This is where business is stepping in to help fill the gap.
As we all work to become better corporate citizens, and as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) becomes embedded in companies around the globe, there is no better way to channel this effort than toward improving STEM education.
For many businesses, and particularly for those of us in financial services, this is not simply an altruistic venture; we are investing in our future. The financial system today relies on highly sophisticated information technology to accomplish a spectrum of tasks from routine to major. For example, high frequency traders can execute orders in a millionth of a second – faster than a blink of the eye – while mathematicians and physicists are applying quantitative analysis to develop trading and risk management programs.
This evolution will continue as newer and faster technologies come to market in the years ahead. In fact, industry research says that jobs in banking and finance requiring STEM skills will increase by 21 percent in the next 10 years while all other jobs will increase only 18 percent. In other words, strong competencies in STEM will be essential for a career in banking and finance.
Change the Equation (CTEq), a coalition of corporate members leading a movement to ensure that every young person is STEM literate, points to the opportunity of expanding the STEM talent pool in the U.S. with promising programs and strategies that are successfully drawing girls and young people from diverse populations to the fields. Business will play a key role in ensuring such programs attain the necessary scale. For financial services, the focus on STEM education also creates opportunities for the industry to address the historic under-representation of women, Blacks and Hispanics.
According to data from CTEq, three occupations account for almost half of the industry's total projected job growth over the next decade, all of which will require substantial math or technology skills:
Clearly, STEM will be among the most in-demand skills that employers will be seeking. At my own company, recruiting and retaining candidates with strong STEM competencies will be essential for us to continue to grow and expand our role supporting the industry. In addition, attracting diverse candidates will enable us to better understand the needs of our global client base and foster new ideas and different ways of thinking about how to tackle complex challenges in the future.
Unfortunately, the most recent statistics from the National Science Foundation show women comprise only one-third of STEM graduate students while Black and Hispanic students combined account for less than 10 percent.
This is why we have joined with many our colleagues across the industry to make promoting STEM education a key focus of our CSR efforts. Working with several groups in this field, such as Change the Equation, we are proud to join with our colleagues in business to help students at all levels and across all demographics gain the skills and competencies they will need to succeed in the future.
Corporations can also use their CSR volunteer efforts to begin to address the opportunity gaps for students who have unequal access to qualified teachers and STEM resources. For example, research has found that across the U.S. there are millions of Black and Hispanic students who would enroll in STEM programs after school if only they could. Is there not a more perfect opportunity for volunteers to contribute their expertise?
By collaborating with schools, communities and STEM education groups, business can support this crucial education and instill a life-long love of learning in all young people while preparing the workforce of tomorrow.

There is talk often of a nationwide shortage of STEM workers. But historically, STEM fields also faced challenges representing our country's diversity when it comes to women, African-Americans, Hispanics, and people with disabilities. Tackling two problems with one solution, Specialisterne USA hopes to secure 100,000 future jobs for special needs STEM workers in the U.S.
Specialisterne is a global organization dedicated to helping people with autism and other similar abilities succeed after high school. They create job opportunities for employees with autism through partnerships with tech companies ready to accept the unique skills that those employees bring. Though it started in Denmark, the model has worked successfully throughout Europe. One such partnership is with German software company SAP. The SAP chief diversity and inclusion officer, Anka Wittenberg, argued in SAP News that the heightened visual perception of people with autism can make them useful software testers.
With the interest of diversifying the workforce for competitive advantage, SAP alongside Specialisterne worked on an initiative ensuring one percent of SAP's global jobs will be filled with workers with autism by 2020.
Is it time that more U.S. companies take notice of what people with special needs can offer STEM? Specialisterne USA certainly thinks so. Some companies have gotten a head start. Last April, Microsoft and Specialisterne launched a pilot program to hire people with autism for full-time positions.
Many might follow in Microsoft's footsteps now that Specialisterne USA is tapping into The Arc's network. The model Specialisterne uses to employ people with autism includes job training for individuals with autism, coaching and mentoring for both employers and employees, and working with employers on making their recruitment efforts more inclusive. Specialisterne USA plans to train participating chapters of The Arc with the same methods that worked overseas.
The Arc provides support, services, and advocacy for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities across the nation.
"We consider this [partnership with The Arc] a very important step on our journey to enable 100,000 jobs in the USA," said Thorkil Sonne, president of Specialisterne USA. "The Arc is a perfect partner as the largest organization in the US working with people with disabilities and we have already had a very positive experience working with the New York chapter of The Arc."
If Specialisterne USA is successful, it will be the responsibility of schools like STEM3 Academy in Los Angeles, California to continue producing potential STEM workers out of children with special needs.
All of the students at STEM3 Academy enroll with challenges that affect their learning and social abilities, like autism-spectrum disorder, Asperger's and ADHD. But the school concentrates on these students' academic strengths—STEM subjects like math and science.
"There's a huge demand for qualified workers in STEM. On the other hand, there's a huge supply of individuals with special needs who are either unemployed or underemployed," said Dr. Ellis Crasnow to LRP Publications, director of the STEM3 Academy. So for Crasnow also, training students who have disabilities to fill STEM jobs just makes sense.

National Engineers Week is upon us, and it is a great time to raise awareness and interest in engineering and technology careers — and the possibilities that they offer.
At Intel, technology and engineering are part of our DNA and we believe a diverse engineering workforce is critical to driving continued innovation and growth in our industry. To achieve our industry's true potential, we must strive to build and continually foster a culture that is broadly representative and inclusive of all kinds of diversity, including, but not limited to, gender and ethnicity. Only through a collective and unified effort will we be able to effectively accomplish this.
Earlier this month, Intel released the 2015 Diversity & Inclusion Report that outlines our progress toward achieving a goal to achieve full representation in our U.S. workforce by 2020, and provides an update on our investments to support Diversity & Inclusion in our workforce and our industry at large. While we exceeded our annual hiring goal, achieved our overall retention goal, and achieved 100 percent gender pay parity across U.S. job types and job levels, we still have a great deal of work and opportunity ahead of us.
A key component of our strategy is building and strengthening the pipeline of women and underrepresented minorities who are interested in pursuing technology and engineering careers. As part of our $300 million commitment to support diversity and inclusion in technology, we have invested in numerous pipeline programs and partnerships focused on attracting a more diverse pool of candidates to the technology industry. Through a multi-pronged approach of education initiatives, financial assistance and internship and job opportunities that offer concrete work experience and an opportunity to develop technical skills, Intel is paving the way for people to enter and succeed in tech careers like engineering and computer science.
These programs include an investment of $5 million in the Oakland Unified School District over the next five years to implement a comprehensive, education transformation solution, apartnership with the Science Foundation of Arizona and the Navajo Nation to implement a comprehensive education transformation at three Arizona high schools, the Latinos in Technology Scholarship Initiative that provides $3.75 million in scholarships to Latino college students, and an investment of $5 million in a Georgia Institute of Technology program designed to build a pipeline of diverse engineers.
This week, we are thrilled to announce a new partnership with San Francisco-based CODE2040.
As part of the initiative, Intel is investing $1.3 million over the course of three years to support CODE2040's Fellows and Technical Application Prep (TAP) Programs, which aim to inspire and support more women and underrepresented minorities to earn technical degrees. The effort aims to bridge the gap between education and employment through providing mentoring, resume prep and internship guidance. In 2016 and 2017, Intel will host a total of 60 student interns from the CODE2040 Fellows Program at its Santa Clara campus in order to provide an immersive experience and one-on-one mentorship with our top engineers. In support of the CODE2040 TAP Program, Intel will also host students for part of the five day Tech Trek, which will launch this year with support from Intel.
The skills of the workforce of the future will depend as much on curiosity, creation and design as technical aptitude. To encourage girls' curiosity and interest in STEM, we are excited to embark on another new partnership with fashion designer Rebecca Minkoff. This partnership will include a series of activities in 2016 that will include college campus visits, design ideation camps and hackathons designed to connect these young women to role models and career opportunities in STEM. By constructing events that highlight the creative opportunities that exist in technology, Intel and Rebecca Minkoff are working to expand the pipeline of future female engineers. For example, earlier this week, Rebecca Minkoff and Sandra Lopez from Intel's New Devices Group hosted a Reddit AMA where they discussed how they see technology driving innovation in fashion, and the creative opportunities for women in technology.
At Oakland Unified School District, we are launching our Intel ambassadors' mentoring program for students who have selected STEM education pathways. We feel that we can positively impact the school district's retention rate by engaging students in services such as mentoring. And for the first time in Intel's history, we will host OUSD students at the Intel Education Services Corps' three-week immersive experience in the U.S. this summer. Employees across the world will converge in Oakland to meet with OUSD students and show them one-on-one about the professional opportunities that await them in computer science.
National Engineers Week presents a special time to shine a spotlight on an exciting, evolving field that is growing exponentially more transformative and significant every day. Our programs and investments aim to create awareness and opportunity for students, to build the pipeline of talent for the future of our industry. At Intel, our passion for engineering extends year-round as we remain committed to creating the tools, resources and programs that will continue to attract women and underrepresented minorities to the exciting possibilities of a career in technology and engineering.
Danielle Brown is Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer at Intel Corporation. This blog also appeared on the Intel website on February 24, 2016.

Day One in Phnom Penh
I got into Phnom Penh just after darkness had fallen. Going into a new city at night always feels like walking into a mystery since so much is left unrevealed. My eyes were wide as I took in the new sights of all the motor scooters, old cars, and odd lettering on the concrete buildings. As my taxi neared my hotel, a small dog scurried in front of us. Seeing that the speedy little animal was actually a monkey reminded me of just how far away from home I had traveled.
My first impression of Phnom Penh was that it reminded me of Tijuana Mexico, a city which neighbors my hometown of San Diego. Both share in common dusty streets, boxy concrete buildings, smog belching cars and a general run down feel to them. My large suite of a hotel room though was a welcome sight. Its French doors opened to a view of the Tonle Sap River and its meeting with the mighty Mekong River. To the right was a large Buddhist Temple, where cars, dead rats and the homeless all made their home outside its walls
The next morning, I made my way to the nearby National Museum. Built during the French era of colonization, its design mixed a colonial style with traditional Cambodian pagoda details. I love the little pointy things coming off the roof. I think they're snakes. Whatever they are, I want some on the roof of my house.
Consisting mostly of sculptures taken from the various ancient temples in Cambodia, the museum took about an hour to get through. Unfortunately, no photography was allowed. (Gotta sell those postcards.)
As I walked over to the royal palace (Cambodia being some sort of constitutional monarchy), the relative cool of the morning gave way to the ruthless heat of midday. April is the hot season. Though temperatures rarely make it above the mid 90's, the high humidity makes mere walking around an exercise in staying alive.
Not that the Cambodians seem to notice. I never failed to marvel each time I'd see a local wearing dark pants and long sleeves, sometimes even a winter parka, strutting around the overheated streets without so much as breaking a minor sweat. Meanwhile, I've sought refuge in the shade of a street-side bar, wearing shorts and a fancy thermo-wicking Nike white t-shirt with a fan pointed at me and a cold beer pressed against my forehead. Fortunately, the beers here are cheap; 75 cents will get you an almost cold glass of Tiger beer.
Walking along the bustling tourist corridor in Phnom Penh mean avoiding tuk tuk drivers and their constant pestering for a ride. (A tuk tuk is a small carriage pulled by a motor scooter.) There's few flies in Cambodia; I think the tuk tuk drivers were too annoying for even them.
I entered the royal palace not long before it closed for lunch. Before long, all the other tourists had left, the outside doors were closed and I had the place to myself. No one kicked me out, so I kept snapping away with my camera. After the din of Singapore and the bustle of the outside streets, I welcomed the solitude and beauty of the palace grounds.
Afterward, I ambled along the friendly bank of the Mekong River until I came across some midday Buddhist temple worshippers. It was the start of the Khmer new year so things were especially festive everywhere I went. Since music doesn't translate well in a photo, I decided to shoot some video. (The audio is a little rough at the start of this clip though it quickly gets better.)

Now that Demetrious Johnson has taken out Henry Cejudo, and defeated four of the UFC's top five ranked flyweights, talk about him moving to 135 has reached new heights. Reigning bantamweight champ, Dominick Cruz, however, believes Johnson should stay where he is…
Johnson needed less than three minutes to stop Cejudo at UFC 197, in what was "Might Mouse's" eighth defense of the flyweight title. Only Georges St-Pierre and Anderson Silva have ever defended a UFC belt more (9 and 10 times respectively).
So, since Johnson is running out of viable opponents quickly (many would say he already has), there's been a lot of discussion about whether he should rematch Cruz. The two battled way back in 2011, before there was a flyweight division in the UFC, and Cruz won it via UD.
Recently Cruz appeared on "The MMA Hour", and he was asked to weigh-in on all the 'super fight' talk, regarding Johnson. Here is some of what Cruz had to say (quote via MMA Fighting.com):
"If you look at him at 135 pounds, he was beating a lot of people, but there was always a size advantage that gave him trouble that he had to work around. At 125, he has nothing to work around. These guys are his size, they're his height, and he can use his fundamentals, his technique, and his speed at their fullest potential because of that. When he comes up to 135, things are different. I mean, he lost to me. He lost to Brad Pickett. That's because of size advantages, and then technique on top of that. So he is good. He's the best flyweight ever. I agree with that. But, when you're coming up to 135 pounds, that's my division. Period."
It's hard to argue with what Cruz is saying here. Johnson is unquestionably a better fighter now, than he was when he was fighting at 135, but he is 5'3 tall. "Mighty Mouse" has also acknowledged that he doesn't have to cut much to get to 125.
While a lot of people would love to see Johnson fight Cruz one more time, for understandable reasons, chances are it's not going to happen anytime soon. Johnson has said he's focused on setting a new title defense record, and as Cruz outlined in the aforementioned interview, he has plenty of contenders waiting for him at 135.
Cruz is booked to face Urijah Faber at UFC 199 on June 4th.

Diamondbacks vs. Braves - 8/25/16 MLB Pick, Odds, and Prediction
Atlanta Braves (46-80) at Arizona Diamondbacks (52-74)
MLB Baseball: Thursday, August 25, 2016 at 9:40 pm (Chase Field)
() () vs. Robbie Ray (7-11) (4.24)
The Line: Arizona Diamondbacks / Atlanta Braves --- Over/Under: See the Latest Odds
The Atlanta Braves and Arizona Diamondbacks end their four-game series Thursday night.
The Atlanta Braves could use a win after losing six of their last eight games. The Braves have scored scored 24 runs in their last three games and six or more runs in six straight games. The Atlanta Braves offense continues to roll, and they've won six of their last 10 games when scoring more than three runs. Freddie Freeman leads Atlanta with 134 hits, Nick Markakis has 70 RBI and Adonis Garcia has 10 home runs. John Gant gets the ball, and he's 1-3 with a 4.60 ERA and 32 strikeouts this season. This will be Gant's second career game against the Diamondbacks.
USA TODAY Sports
The Arizona Diamondbacks also need a win after losing eight of their last 12 games. The Diamondbacks have allowed 24 runs in their last three games and seven or more runs in four straight games. The Arizona Diamondbacks have an ERA of 5.15 and have lost eight of their last 11 games when allowing more than three runs. Offensively, Jean Segura leads Arizona with 160 hits, Paul Goldschmidt has 76 RBI and Yasmany Tomas has 26 home runs. Robbie Ray takes the hill, and he's 7-11 with a 4.31 ERA and 174 strikeouts this season. This will be Ray's second career game against the Braves.
The Braves are 6-13 in their last 19 during game 4 of a series and 19-49 in their last 68 vs. National League West. The Diamondbacks are 6-2 in their last 8 vs. National League East and 7-15 in Rays last 22 starts. The Braves are 2-5 in the last 7 meetings in Arizona.
I keep fading the Diamondbacks because their pitching rotation is a flat out joke, and it continues to pay off in spades. I'm not high on Gant either, but at least Atlanta continues to swing hot bats. Give me the Braves once again.

A) A real estate broker who has sold more than a billion dollars in Manhattan & Miami real estate
B) A loving mother
C) A former sergeant in the Israeli army
D) A board member of the UJA Federation of New York & IAC-Israeli American Council
E) All of the above
If you answered "E" you would only be partially right.Because while Jacky is all of the above, she is also much more. Born in Santiago, Chile and raised in Israel, where she served as a sergeant in the Israeli army, Jacky emerged from humble beginnings but rose through the ranks to become the strong, talented and determined woman she is today. Jacky worked at an international travel and tourism company as a managing director and for a multinational firm based out of Spain as a senior level executive before finding her true passion: residential real estate. Her business acumen and global experience fit perfectly with her chosen career and helped her to assist real estate's vast array of clientele.
Success came naturally. Jacky was named "Rookie of the Year"by MLB Kaye, then, soon after, The Corcoran Group came calling, where she was always among the top 25 producers. Jacky received a personal invitation from CEO Dottie Herman to join Douglas Elliman Real Estate, where she has been since 2003. Jacky was one of the very first in New York City residential real estate to successfully launch the team concept and, under her guidance, the Jacky Teplitzky team is consistently ranked among Douglas Elliman's top producers. In fact, they have sold more than a billion dollars in New York and Miami real estate.
Fluent in English, Spanish and Hebrew, Jacky's diverse background is one of the reasons she connects so readily with clients and gets them to the closing table, whether they hail from here in the US, South America, Europe or Russia. She understands and respects the unique differences of each country and each culture (yes, an Argentinean is different from a Colombian,who is different from a Chilean or a Russian) and addresses the individual needs and wants of her domestic and international clientele. She assists investors and manages their properties.
Jacky's clients appreciate her "no stones left unturned "approach. She works with a variety of professionals, including an office manager, graphic artist, a privately hired business consultant and public relations agency, to ensure she meets – and exceeds – clients' needs. She and the team's brokers are well versed on every Manhattan and Miami neighborhood and property type. Clients benefit from the team's synchronicity.
Jacky is regularly called upon by local and national media to speak about residential real estate. On television (Fox Business, "Good Morning, America," CNBC, NY1 News, CNN en Español and Bloomberg TV), in print(The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Post) and online(Univision.com, curbed.com, Reuters.com). Jacky is a recognized speaker and coach, leading seminars at The Real Estate Board of New York (her classes are credit-approved, as she is a certified instructor by the New York Department of State), Yeshiva University, Barnard College, Inman Connect, the Florida Realtors® Convention & Trade Expo (where she was a keynoter), Citibank Private Banking, New York University, the 92nd Street Y (where she has presented for six consecutive years), Israel Bonds and the Private Wealth Latin America & Caribbean Forum 2013.
As busy as she is, Jacky always finds time to give back. She is a noted philanthropist and an active supporter of the UJA Federation of New York, where she sits on the Board of Directors, is part of the Lion's of Judah and Women's Executive Circle and vice chairs the Professional Women's Philanthropy division. She is also a council member of the Israeli American Council. Jacky also dedicates her time to WIZO, which provides for the welfare of women, children and the elderly.
Jacky's down time is spent with her two sons. As a family,they took part in several fundraisers to support Chilean earthquake victims and have collected and distributed pajamas as part of their relationship with the Pajama Program, a charity that provides sleepwear to children in need. She is the proud mom of a senior at Emerson College in Boston, and a freshman at The University of Edinburgh in Scotland. She is also an active member of Park Avenue Synagogue.
If you want to work with a broker who will give you 110%,from that very first connection right on through to closing, give Jacky a call at 212.891.7263 or email her at firstname.lastname@example.com. Rest assured, she'll put her resources and expertise to work to get your deal done!

Der Judenstaat. Versuch einer modernen Lösung der Judenfrage.
Leipzig and Wien M. Breitenstein 1896 - First edition. First issue indicated by pointing to the left flower closing vignette on p.86. Octavo, 86 pp., one leaf cut in bottom right corner with no damage to text; pencil inscriptions and pen notations on two leaves; small marginal tears; recent calf, a very good copy. Text in German. The true first edition of Herzl's seminal work. Der Judenstaat is considered as the founding manifesto of political Zionism. In 1896, Der Judenstaat, Versuch einer Modernen Lösung der Judenfrage (The Jewish State, Proposal of a modern solution for the Jewish question) was published in Vienna by 35-year-old Theodor Herzl, a Hungarian journalist of Jewish descent. The previous year, Herzl had witnessed the Dreyfus affair in Paris and had been appalled at the outbreak of anti-Semitism that it had generated in the "birthplace of human rights". He came to the conclusion that the creation of an independent Jewish state during the 20th century would be the best way for Jews to escape European anti-Semitism. [Attributes: First Edition]

athlete of the week
Each week we talk to HK's brightest and best
Name Leung Hau-sze
School Diocesan Girls' School
Grade Form Four
Sport short-distance running
Achievements Hau-sze, 17, specialises in 100- and 200-metre sprints. In 2005, she demonstrated her ability by winning a gold medal in the 100m race at the All-China Youth Athletic Championships with a time of 12.64 seconds.
She has performed well in both local and international competitions. She received the Hong Kong Amateur Athletics Association Best Junior Athlete of the Year award for four consecutive years.
Hau-sze currently holds the 200m Hong Kong record in the junior girls' category, with a time of 24.36 seconds.
Soundbite 'I took up athletics in Primary Four. After I had performed well at a primary school sports day, my teachers encouraged me to start formal training,' said Hau-sze.
'Short-distance running is fast and exciting, that's why I enjoy it. I've tried other events but I didn't find them anything like as interesting. Long-distance running is too tough for me. In addition, I'm happy training with my teammates. We've become good friends and I enjoy working with them.
'I don't find training hard or boring. I can get very nervous during competitions. At the World Junior Championships last year, my performance was affected. I hope to have better control this year.'
From her coach 'Hau-sze is tall, which is definitely an advantage. She started receiving formal training when she was young so her fundamental skills are good,' Lai Chun-hung said. 'She works hard and has clear targets. But she needs to improve her strength.'
Ambitions 'I have to prepare for my HKCEE examination so I will stop most of my training this year. I would like to break the Hong Kong junior girls' 100m record [12.06 seconds] and improve my own 200m record,' said Hau-sze.

By: Fr. Deogratias Ekisa
From the beginning of Christianity, the Church's relationship with secular rulers has included both cooperation and opposition and everything in between. But the recent election of President Trump has brought this question to the fore, especially among Catholics who call themselves conservatives or are indeed conservative leaning. Many of them are genuinely are wondering why Catholic bishops and priests are not embracing the president en masse, and why on the contrary some are disapproving of a few of his actions and policies. Why would the Church oppose someone who opposes abortion or at least appears to do so?
I submit that there are three broad approaches to criticizing the president (and political leaders in general), two of which Catholics, depending on their state in the Church, can legitimately adopt.
The wrong way to criticize the president is to do it in the manner of DIRTY POLITICS. Basic principles of Christian charity and civility preclude ad hominem attacks on the person of the president or that of his family. In addition principles of justice, fairness and truth exclude the use of fallacious arguments in debating or disagreeing with any interlocutor including the president. I find the Four-way Test of the Rotary club a good summary of the Christian way of disagreeing without being disagreeable:
1. Is it the truth?
2. Is it fair to all concerned?
3. Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
Any criticism that ignores these principles is just wrong and no Christian worth the name should engage in it.
On the other hand, the Christian way to debate politics observes the above mentioned principles and takes two forms:
1. Partisan politics (open only to lay Catholics)
2. Politics in general (open to laity and Clergy).
1) Lay Catholics can and should legitimately be involved in PARTISAN POLITICS. Save for one-party states, the management of most democracies could be described as being partisan politics. Two or more parties propose different visions of how to manage the polis (state). In the USA, the principal visions are provided by the Democratic and Republican parties, which are broadly inspired by liberal and conservative ideologies. While the Church as a body does not endorse any one party or ideology, individual non-clergy members of the Church are free to belong to any of these parties, stand for office sponsored by them or even promote those ideologies and parties. Hopefully they rely on a well-formed conscience to make those decisions. That is why it should not come as a surprise that individual Catholics who are Democrats will oppose some of the decisions and policies of President Trump, just as individual Catholics who are Republicans did the same to President Obama. As long as these disagreements are not done in the manner of dirty politics but rather through civil discourse, these are legitimate ways of deciding what is good for society.
But the Church as a body and its leaders, the bishops, priests and deacons do not engage in partisan politics. They don't endorse parties or candidates or political platforms. I would bet that if Mother Teresa were to run for president, even she would not get an endorsement from the Church and its leaders. This is because partisan politics is by its very nature contingent and conditional on circumstances. Good Catholics, for example, could disagree on specific policies and actions, such as what is the best way to tackle the immigration problem. Also, it is inherent in the nature of partisan politics, that the platform of each side will more or less be consistent with Catholic teaching. No one party embraces the full gamut of Catholic teaching on social justice. And so, it would be an abdication of its prophetic duty to uphold the full truth, if the Church endorsed one side that represented only part of the truth. This self-censorship by the Church is not due to any tax laws, since even bishops in countries without tax benefits for Churches still uphold nonpartisanship in politics. The Church has to be a mother to all, rather than a hero to some.
2) The Church as a body and its leaders, however, can legitimately get involved in NON-PARTISAN POLITICS, that is by speaking to general moral principles in the management of society. The bishops do this in the course of their normal teaching, drawing from the biblical principles of the Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes, as well as Church teaching such as the Works of Mercy. Occasionally they may also speak out when the legislative or executive arms of government enact particular laws or policies, supporting those that uphold the aforementioned moral principles and criticizing those that don't. That, for example, explains the recent response of US bishops who were happy with the president's actions on the defunding of abortion, but not with the actions that seemed to unfairly deal with immigrants and refugees, especially those of the Islamic faith. That the president ticked one box of Catholic Social Teaching does not give him a pass on the rest of that teaching.
And so, should Catholics criticize the president?
a. Lay Catholics can certainly do so by engaging in both partisan politics and politics as such. As long they don't engage in dirty politics, it is their right and responsibility to call out the president, when in conscience they think he is doing wrong. It is also their right and responsibility to support him when his actions are in line with the gospel, regardless of how they voted.
b. Catholic leaders, the bishops, priests and deacons can also criticize the president. Their role, however, is limited to politics as such, general moral principles, not partisan politics. There have been times in the past, when Church has lost its prophetic voice, by going to bed with secular leaders, even the relatively good ones. That is a mistake it should not repeat.
Society is the poorer when both individual Church members and its leaders disengage from appropriate engagement in the public square. Moreover, the Kingdom of God that the Church exists to build is this world, not some other world. The Church must bring the gospel in its fullness to bear on the management of the POLIS.
