Our small town of Darien sits right in between New Haven and New York City, two of the most famous pizza cities in the country serving up some of the most delicious pies in the tri-state area, but Darien has yet to produce a pizza joint on the same level as any of these places. The "big four" (as I like to call them) of Darien are Post Corner, Planet Pizza, Papa Joe's, and Heights; all of which produce good, not great pizza. There is one slice in Darien that I'm forgetting about, though, the cafeteria pizza at Darien High School.
This past week I ventured down to the cafeteria to review a slice of cheese pizza from the cafeteria. I had never had the pizza before but had heard many mixed opinions; I was ready to give my take on the slice and end the discussion once and for all. If you're reading this article you've probably already seen the video of the review on Instagram, but this will be a more in depth look at the pizza, giving more reasoning for why I gave the score I did, as well as insight from other pizza connoisseurs at DHS.
First of all, I need to explain my inspiration for the review. Dave Portnoy, the CEO of Barstool Sports, does a daily review of a slice of pizza in Manhattan, and plans to do so until he hits every restaurant on the island that serves pizza. Portnoy has a lot of mannerisms that make the videos hilarious, such as his famous line "one bite everyone knows the rules", while he continues to eat several bites before he gives it a score. He also coined the term "New York flop" when the cheese slides off the pizza. These were a few things that I tried to emulate but put my own spin on when I did the review.
Before I did the review, I asked senior and pizza expert Craig Triano for his best advice: He reminded me that; "the pizza's only good if it's piping hot". Keeping this in mind, I did everything I could to get a slice right out of the oven. Luckily I did, and the stage was set: I had a slice of the infamous cafe pizza in hand.
Walking out to the auditorium doors with my cameraman, senior Jack Tierney, the pizza did not look good. To be brutally honest, the cheese looked like a gross greasy glob, and the crust looked like something reminiscent of saturated cardboard. My hopes for a good slice of pizza were dropping hard and fast.
Although the first impression was subpar, freshman Evan Devita made his argument in support of the pizza. Devita said, "The pizza is pretty good, I really like the texture of the crust, it's honestly a pretty underrated slice."
I tried to keep these words in mind when I took my first bite of the pizza, but what I found was definitely not -in my book- a good slice of pizza.
First of all, there was heavy "Darien dangle" on the slice, meaning that the under cooked cheese was already sliding off. I took my first bite; the oddly flavored cheese overwhelmed my palate in the worst kind of way, while the sauce lacked quite a bit of flavor. I didn't get a whole lot of crust on my first bite, so when I went in for another I took a big munch off the back corner to get some good crust surface area. I found that, despite Devita's assessment, the crust did not in fact have good texture, and it kind of tasted like plastic.
I realize this is a pretty rough assessment, but come on guys, I love pizza and I would be doing a disservice to everyone out there by telling you that it was good, and would also be disrespecting the world of pizza itself. I'm not the only one who thinks this, as freshman Asher Silverman told me: "The pizza is weirdly moist, not greasy, moist. It's not very appetizing"
So after my quick assessment, I gave the slice a 4.2 out of 10 possible points, which I'm now starting to think is too high of a score. In all fairness this was my first pizza review and I'm what the experts call a "rookie", but you live and you learn. My parting words would be this, don't eat the cafe pizza unless you have literally nothing else to eat and there is nothing else in the cafe. If you would like to see the pizza review in real time, head over to Neirad's Instagram, 'dhsneirad', to see the video.

Court - Man gritted teeth and lunged at garda during Portlaoise fracas
Fracas in Top Square, Portlaoise
A Hungarian national sentenced to one month in prison for his part in an incident in which a garda was assaulted has had the sentence overturned at Portlaoise Circuit Court.
Mark Gonda (20), 44 The Haven, Roscrea, was charged with assault, and threatening or abusive behaviour. After contesting the matter in the district court, he was sentenced to one month in jail.
At the recent appeal against the severity of this sentence, Sgt Dara Diffily gave evidence that at approximately 1.50am on January 17 this year, the gardaí became aware of a disturbance at Market Square, Portlaoise, outside a local nightclub.
A number of people were arrested, including the appellant. Sgt Diffily said that a plainclothes garda was assaulted during the incident.
In a statement to gardaí, Mark Gonda said he had been in the nightclub with friends and left at around 1.30am.
He said he went to his sister's car, which was parked outside the nearby bookmakers, and "started messing there" by lying down on his sister's car.
He said he saw someone approaching his friend and thought the man was looking for trouble, so he put his arm between them.
"I said, 'What do you want?' and he said, 'Why, what are you going to?'," the appellant told gardaí, going on to say that he was then pepper-sprayed and was barely able to see.
"I walked away and then another garda came over and put the clamps on me," he said.
The appellant claimed that the plainclothes officer did not identify himself as a garda on the night.
He also said he did not see the garda receive a number of blows to the head. "When I was sprayed I just walked away," he said.
State solicitor, Mr Donal Dunne said that the gardaí had been at the scene investigating a separate incident of assault, when the garda's attention was drawn across the road to where the appellant was lying across the bonnet of the car.
Sgt Diffily said that the section 2 assault with which the appellant had been charged related to Gonda gritting his teeth and lunging at the garda.
This led the garda to believe he would be assaulted, said Sgt Diffily. After the appellant was removed from the scene, the disturbance involving other men continued for another minute.
The appellant had no previous convictions.
Defence, barrister Ms Louise Troy said her client did not make contact with the garda, and had not come to adverse garda attention before or since the incident.
She said her client, a Hungarian national living in Ireland seven years, had made a massive misjudgement on the night and his actions had been out of character.
Ms Troy also read out a letter of apology from her client, in which he said he was more than sorry for what happened. She also said he had €200 compensation .
In ruling, Judge Keenan Johnson said the appellant had too much to drink and was probably high-spirited.
He noted that the appellant had a very peripheral involvement in the incident and had not applied any blows to the garda.
Saying that a custodial sentence would serve no purpose, Judge Johnson ordered that the appellant donate €200 to St Vincent de Paul and applied the probation act, section 1.2.

Glanzfundstück, gestern mich überraschend. Nie habe ich solch Verschmelzung verschiedener musikalischer Sprachen erlebt. Jazzelemente, klassische und romantische Elemente tanzen frohen, mitreissenden Reigen, die pure Lebensfreude! Da ist, ohne dass ich den Übergang bemerkte, plötzlich Johann Sebastian Bach im Saal, und zwar in Reinkultur, sodann kommt der männliche Brahms, der das Schicksal anklopfende Beethoven, auch Rachmaninov darf sich präsentieren, denn wiederum finde ich mich im Jazzkonzert, um danach Gulda pur serviert zu bekommen…..und das Erstaunlichste ist mir die immer wieder alles mitreissende Kombination der Ausdrucksformen.
Saagenhaft. Danke, Friedrich Gulda, sei dir frohes Leben in den anderen Welten beschieden.

Friedrich Gulda (16 May 1930 – 27 January 2000) was an Austrian pianist and composer who worked in both the classical and jazz fields. Born in Vienna as the son of a teacher, Gulda began learning to play the piano from Felix Pazofsky at the Wiener Volkskonservatorium, aged 7. In 1942, he entered the Vienna Music Academy, where he studied piano and musical theory under Bruno Seidlhofer and Joseph Marx. He won first prize at the Geneva International Music Competition in 1946. Initially, the jury preferred the Belgian pianist Lode Backx, but when the final vote was taken, Gulda was the winner. One of the jurors, Eileen Joyce, who favoured Backx, stormed out and claimed the other jurors were unfairly influenced by Gulda's supporters.
Gulda began to play concerts worldwide. He made his Carnegie Hall debut in 1950. Together with Jörg Demus and Paul Badura-Skoda, Gulda formed what became known as the "Viennese troika". Although most famous for his Mozart and Beethoven interpretations, Gulda also performed the music of J. S. Bach (often on clavichord), Schubert, Chopin, Schumann, Debussy and Ravel. His recordings of Bach's Well Tempered Clavier are well regarded by collectors. Apart from the Well Tempered Clavier, Gulda performed very few other pieces by Bach and recorded even fewer. Gulda's later reliance on co-operating with companies whose recording techniques were primitive in comparison to those espoused by more sophisticated rivals stood him in very poor stead with regard to posterity. The rescued Mozart sonata tapes issued on DG are unbelievably bad in terms of recorded technical quality; likewise the Debussy Preludes and Bach recordings of the late 60s and early 70s. From the 1950s on Gulda cultivated an interest in jazz, writing several songs and instrumental pieces, and at times combining jazz and classical music in his concerts. In 1956, he performed at Birdland in New York City and at the Newport Jazz Festival. He organized the International Competition for Modern Jazz in 1966, and he established the International Musikforum, a school for students who wanted to learn improvisation, in Ossiach, Austria, in 1968.
He once said: "There can be no guarantee that I will become a great jazz musician, but at least I shall know that I am doing the right thing. I don't want to fall into the routine of the modern concert pianist's life, nor do I want to ride the cheap triumphs of the Baroque bandwagon." In jazz, he found "the rhythmic drive, the risk, the absolute contrast to the pale, academic approach I had been taught." He also took up playing the baritone saxophone. Phillips Records included Gulda in its Great Pianists of the 20th Century CD box set, which came out in 1999.
His piano students included Martha Argerich, who called Gulda "my most important influence," and the conductor Claudio Abbado. He expressed a wish to die on the birthday of Mozart, the composer he most adored, and did so. He died of heart failure at the age of 69 on 27 January 2000 at his home in Weissenbach, Austria. Gulda is buried in the cemetery of Steinbach am Attersee, Austria. He was married twice, first to Paola Loew and then to Yuko Wakiyama. Two of his three sons, Paul and Rico Gulda, one from each of his marriages, are accomplished pianists.

Enjoy the show!

Friday 11th November
Excitement was all around today as the children found out what part they had been given in the production! They had many questions to ask, such as what to wear, what does a floor manager and a host do, and just how much sparkle they are allowed to add to their costume. We advised they go and speak to Miss Major for ideas and inspiration in the sparkle department...
We also practised the songs from the production. So many words! So many notes! Three weeks to get there!
Wednesday 9th November
Today the children found out what their Christmas production is going to be this year. They became very excited when they found out the theme, and eagerly began practising their dance moves!

The Sports Report: LeBron James means business
Howdy everyone, and welcome to the Friday edition of the Los Angeles Times daily sports newsletter. My name is Houston Mitchell and I'm your host for the festivities. Subscribe to this newsletter by clicking here.
Let's get to it.
I can't really improve upon what Tania Ganguli wrote for her flash gamer after the Lakers defeated the Houston Rockets, 111-106, so I'm not even going to try. Read some of it for yourself:
So this is what he meant.
He said he'd be different. He said he had no choice, and neither did his teammates.
He said his intensity had been activated.
LeBron James meant he'd do everything he could. He'd find his teammates in unseen corners. He'd wrestle for rebounds under the basket. He'd stand there underneath the basket and take a charge for James Harden's sixth foul and send the Houston Rockets into a frustrated rage as the game's final seconds ticked off.
The Lakers beat the Rockets, 111-106, to even their record at 29-29. It was their first opportunity after the All-Star break to show that they really had changed their intensity and that they could make the push they needed to reach the playoffs.
James led the Lakers with 29 points, 11 rebounds and six assists, but his impact extended beyond the score. Harden scored at least 30 points for the 32nd straight game, notching his final two points moments before he fouled out. Chris Paul notched 23 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists before he fouled out late in the game….
A thundering, one-handed dunk with 5:17 left in the game left no doubt about James' intentions. He banked in a floater a few minutes later. And Reggie Bullock's three-pointer with 1:31 left in the game sealed a critical Lakers win.
Their playoff hopes remain alive.
Bill Plaschke writes: After an ordinary three quarters that ended with a Lakers seven-point deficit, James took over, and the crowd howled like it once howled for Kobe Bryant, stood like it once stood for Shaquille O'Neal, and celebrated like it has rarely celebrated in the last six years.
A look at the Western Conference standings. The top eight make the playoffs:
1. Golden State, 42-16, ---
2. Denver, 39-18, 2.5 GB
3. Oklahoma City, 37-20, 4.5 GB
4. Portland, 35-23, 7 GB
5. Houston, 33-25, 9 GB
6. Utah, 32-25, 9.5 GB
7. San Antonio, 33-26, 9.5 GB
8. Clippers, 32-27, 10.5 GB
9. Sacramento, 30-28, 12
10. Lakers, 29-29, 13 GB
11. Minnesota, 27-30, 14.5 GB
12. Dallas, 26-31, 15.5 GB
13. New Orleans, 26-33, 16.5 GB
14. Memphis, 23-36, 19.5 GB
15. Phoenix, 11-49, 32 GB
A lot of eyes will be on Alex Verdugo this season. He has proven everything he can in the minors, and a spot in the majors awaits him. But how much will he play, since it looks like he will be sharing left field with Joc Pederson?
"They're both going to play a big role [on] our ballclub this year," manager Dave Roberts said Thursday. "And I just don't think it makes a whole lot of sense right now to try to project what's going to happen. Or try to forecast. I know that they're both major-league players. Obviously, Joc's done it considerably more so we're going to figure it out."
Meanwhile, the Dodgers announced they will wear a commemorative patch this season honoring Don Newcombe.
The organizing committee for the Paris 2024 Summer Games announced Thursday that it wants to add breakdancing as a sport. Yes, breakdancing.
This got me to thinking about what sports we could add for the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles. Here are some options:
Fastest to leave the Dodger Stadium parking lot after a game ends
Best tan
Most realistic looking plastic surgery
Best daily sports newsletter (too soon?)
Speed eating (In-n-Out hamburgers)
Most time spent in traffic
Person who has the most friends who are friends with someone who knows someone famous
Best Kardashian
Do you have any suggestions? E-mail me with them and I will include them in a future newsletter. Make sure you include your name.
Odds and Ends
UCLA gymnastics is a surging powerhouse with a following to match…. Former UCLA linebacker Jaelan Phillips announces he's headed to Miami…. New-look Clippers benefit from early trade deadline…. Angels pitcher Dillon Peters is ready to give his new fastball a whirl…. The Kings face a harsh reality after a 2-1 loss to Nashville. They also traded Carl Hagelin to Washington….

Blunt Announces New Initiative
Church leaders from all over Missouri were very receptive to Gov. Matt Blunt's new initiative. "Faith-Based Missouri" aims to help faith and community-based groups be more effective.
"Where government is almost always large and sometimes seemingly disconnected, churches, synagogues, and other places of worship tend to be local and in tune to personal needs," Gov. Blunt said.
Gov. Blunt's initiative calls for a five-person team to travel the state to help solve problems and to build cooperation between state and faith-based organizations. Faith-based groups already collaborating with state agencies get help first, but any organization can participate.
"I think it could be reaching people in a much more impactful way that doesn't just meet a short term need, it really does change somebody's lives and empower them to better their circumstances," Gov. Blunt said.
Gov. Blunt added that there will be no religious test that groups have to pass to be involved.

Education Advertisement in Dainik Jagran; To advertise and promote your educational Institute
- advertising
- Posted at: 9:07 am
- June 27, 2018
Education sector is witnessing boom for many years now. There are so many universities and institutes cropping up every year that offer varied courses. Students who are competing in the 21st century require different teaching and learning ways that emphasize on analytical thinking, comprehension, problem-solving and critical-thinking skills in addition to knowledge gathering. Keeping this trend in mind almost every institute comes up with their strategy of preparing their learners to make them fit for employment.
Everyday we come across adverts that claim to have world-class infrastructure and teaching pedagogy. Hence, they charge whopping amounts as fee from their students to offer such facilities. However, only those institutes survive in the long run that provide good quality of education and groom their students in an overall manner.
If you are also entering the world of education and have started your institute then promote the same via newspaper ad posts. One of the best news journals for this purpose is Dainik Jagran.

Keeping your garage door springs in good working condition is essential to ensure that your garage door will work efficiently. No doubt, garage door cables, panels, tracks, and other running parts need periodical maintenance but garage door springs are the key components that need regular attention to save you from hassles in a long run. Take a look at how garage door torsion spring replacement can support you to keep your garage door working like a new.
Garage door spring maintenance
Some simple actions will give your garage door a longer life span. Therefore, you should inspect and lubricate the tracks and pulleys almost every six months. You can use silicon oil or silicon spray for this purpose. You should also check the weather seals and replace them if needed. Check all the loose bolts, nuts, and screws to tighten up them properly.
The garage door will last longer if you spend some time examining and then maintain it on a regular basis. Garage door maintenance tasks should include finding out the shredding cables, rusted panels, and dented tracks. You should also examine the locks regularly to make sure that they are safe and secure. These maintenance steps will help you to keep your garage door running smoothly and increase the life of the garage door. Definitely, if you are not sure about how to conduct these procedures, you should consult with a professional to do this job.
There is one component that you cannot handle by yourself is garage door springs. Garage door torsion springs can be complicated and dangerous to handle so they need the attention of skilled professionals.
For residential buildings, annual maintenance is sufficient. For the commercial setups, twice a year inspection and maintenance is recommended.
Thousands of cases are reported every year that people got injured when a garage door suddenly falls on them due to broken garage door springs. Whether you are performing garage door maintenance regularly, it is also important to call a professional contractor to give safety inspection to springs at least once a year. They have abilities to determine if springs need to be fixed or changed according to the current safety features.
The importance of garage door spring maintenance and replacement
On average, the garage door is operated around 1500 times each year. If they are neglected, the garage door rollers may become frozen which causes them to track replacements. The garage door opener may fail which makes the opening and closing process difficult. In addition to these, garage door torsion springs can become misaligned or damaged. There may be possibilities that pieces of the tightly mounted springs can become loose and fly in the air which will cause injuries or even death or property damages. Regular maintenance will help you to deal with unexpected problems and keep your vehicle and family safe.

ISO 13485 is a quality management standard for the manufacturers of medical devices. Medical device producers must be able to provide evidence that their devices consistently meet safety and quality standards and perform as intended for patients or consumers. ISO 13485 provides an international approach to meeting the wide-ranging requirements of medical device production and related services for the world market.
Building a QMS for Manufacturing Medical Devices
While it's considered a stand-alone set of requirements, ISO 13485 is also designed to be used in conjunction with the ISO 9001 Quality Management System. ISO 13485 enhances the general foundation for a Quality Management System defined by ISO 9001 through fleshing out details and specifics that apply to the medical device industry.
Producing medical devices can be a regulatory labyrinth. ISO 13485 can be employed as a Quality Management System to handle the numerous requirements from various regulations and standards, thereby reducing complexity and effort.
Like the ISO 9001 document, the first few sections of ISO 13485 cover basic introductions and definitions. The real requirements are in Section 4 through Section 8 and cover the following elements:
- Quality System Requirements
- Management Responsibility
- Resource Requirements
- Product Realization
- Remedial Requirements
ISO 13485 Is More Stringent Than ISO 9001
Those familiar with ISO 9001 will recognize that the sections listed above align directly with those in ISO 13485. While ISO 13485 does share some similarities with ISO 9001 (such as using a process approach to meet requirements), it is not a duplicate effort. There are a number of important differences between ISO 9001 and ISO 13485:
A Focus on Meeting Regulations: Meeting regulatory requirements may be an implied part of ISO 9001, but with ISO 13485, it is a focus of the Quality Management System and a top management responsibility.
Risk Management: ISO 13485 requires more risk management efforts (understanding, preventing, mitigating) during product design and manufacturing than ISO 9001.
Documentation and Traceability: While ISO 9001 has minimal documentation and traceability requirements (i.e., seven required procedures), ISO 13485 has more extensive documentation requirements, including maintaining product specific files.
Inspection and Testing: ISO 13485 spells out more detailed requirements for product inspection and testing versus the brief, general clause in ISO 9001.
Work Environment: ISO 9001 has a general requirement for facilities, but ISO 13485 lays out stringent requirements for the environment in which medical devices are produced.
Nonconforming Product: This area is briefly addressed in ISO 9001, but ISO 13485 has more rigorous standards, as it is a much larger concern for medical device producers.
Measurement and Quality System Improvement: Improvement of all processes, including the quality management system, is inherent in ISO 9001. This area is much more critical for medical devices and has additional requirements in ISO 13485.
Instead of adding an extra layer of bureaucracy for medical device producers, companies that embrace ISO 13485 can use it as a way to coordinate and manage a diverse set of regulations and requirements. Plus, being ISO 13485-certified demonstrates that an organization has its processes in control, in compliance to an internationally recognized standard. This can help companies gain credibility with customers around the globe, no matter where they are in the supply chain.

Shelter Island Reporter Letters to the Editor
Willful act?
To the Editor:
I regret writing a third letter regarding the Village of Dering Harbor's scorched-earth quest to ban property maintenance including lawn mowing Saturdays and Sundays May 1 through Columbus Day, including holidays, hidden behind a "Construction Law" amendment.
As many of us work Monday through Friday, complying is impossible. Granting a window of two hours between 9:30 and 11:30 a.m. non-holiday Saturdays for a homeowner to perform this work exposes extraordinary ignorance of practical knowledge, decency and common sense that should give us pause.
The village just had to exempt homeowners — or at least homeowners in the village's A-district (large-lot properties including the golf club). Real simple. Instead, the board's willful act could devastate the village.
I continue to reserve my rights as a homeowner under the New York State Constitution.
John T. Colby Jr.
Shelter Island
That was then …
To the Editor:
I can't get over the fact that there are now more than 1,000 signers on the STR Petition. And yet the Town Board doesn't seem to be in a hurry to shred or amend this ludicrous law. Why?
For centuries — I mean centuries — Shelter Island has been a destination vacation place. There are families struggling to stay on the Island, and need to do STR's to subsidize their income, just as their families did for years. And those people keep the Island afloat.
Are our town leaders really thinking about what is happening?
Now there is the water issue. Do we really need to install new, innovative septic systems — for a tidy little sum — that could bankrupt some families? I appreciate the letters from Peter Reich (February 14) and Ed Brown (February 21) on the issue. The Center has tainted water.
The school and the cemeteries surrounding the Presbyterian Church may have something to do with this problem. And the issue of the shoreline homes — saltwater intrusion seems to be the issue with peninsula wells.
I need to find out exactly where the test wells are.
A parting comment about STRs: "That was then, this is now, the past is not happening anymore!"
I stole that quote from a book I happened to read and it applies to our STR business. Having been in the business of doing rentals for 40 years, I can say that once upon a time we did seasonal rentals and monthly rentals. Now we do STRs. Why?
Because families now have both parents working, and unless you are a school teacher, with three months off, or have the use of a family home, the working parents only get vacation time.
Figure it out, folks. Call me if you want me to explain it to you.
A thousand signers to the petition in opposition to this STR Law: Do you hear us now?

Community Advisory Board
What is the CML Community Advisory Board (CML-CAB)
The CML Community Advisory Board (CML-CAB) is a working group of the CML Advocates Network. Based on the proven ECAB model implemented by the HIV patient community and EATG for more than a decade, CML-CAB meetings, are community-run advisory boards where the patient community decides on the topics of highest relevance and impact for the patient community.
The CML-CAB aims to promote best-in class CML research as well as the harmonisation of good clinical practice, standard of care and access to best available CML therapies and diagnostic tools. Participants of the CML-CAB meetings have the opportunity of a two-way dialogue discussing key topics in CML between key leading advocates of the patient community and external stakeholders, and potential follow-up actions. External stakeholders attending the CAB meeting can make suggestions for agenda points, but the final decision on the agenda rests with the CML-CAB chairs (currently 2) who decide in the interest of the community.
The CML Advocates Network believes that the establishment of this accountable network of advocates who speak from the unique perspective of CML patients will help improve research, facilitate community capacity building and help tackle the many challenges faced in ensuring access to optimal support, treatment and care.
CML Community Advisory Board (CML-CAB) has the objective of providing researchers, academics, government, policy makers, authorities and the pharmaceutical industry with advice and input on different issues that impact on patients' lives. It aims to promote best-in-class CML research as well as the harmonisation of good clinical practice, standard of care and access to best available CML therapies and diagnostic tools.
The common goal of the CML-CAB is:
- Improving the quality of patient information and education;
- Ensuring patient needs are considered when setting research priorities;
- Developing patient friendly clinical trials;
- Helping interested patients access clinical trials;
- Promoting the harmonisation of good clinical and manufacturing practices;
- Addressing problems CML patients face in accessing optimal diagnosis, monitoring, treatment and care;
- Helping patients get the best out of their therapies;
- Building CML advocacy community capacity.
Composition of the CML-CAB
The CML-CAB is currently comprised of:
- 2 chairs: Jan Geissler (chair, Germany) Pat Garcia-Gonzalez (co-chair, USA)
- 17 CAB-members (as per October 2019) representing the 6 world regions
Current members of the CML-CAB are (by region):
Western Europe & Israel:
- Rita Christensen (Denmark)
- Cornelia Borowczak (Germany)
- Felice Bombaci (Italy)
- Zack Pemberton-Whiteley (UK)
- Giora Sharf (Israel)
- Yair Bar David (Israel)
Eastern Europe:
- Šarūnas Narbutas (Lithuania)
- Jelena Cugurovic (Serbia)
- Jana Pelouchova (Czech Republic)
- Bahija Gouimi (Morocco)
- Eunice Oreka (Nigeria)
- Rod Padua (Philippines)
- Yoke Choon Yong (Malaysia)
- Param Puthen (India)
Latin America:
- Mercedes Arteaga (Argentina)
- Silvia Castillo De Armas (Guatemala)
North America:
- Lisa Machado (Canada)
Members of the CML Advocates Network Steering Committee may additionally join CML-CAB meetings on the personal invitation of the chairs.
Participation in CML-CAB meetings
It falls within the responsibility of the CML-CAB chairs to determine how many and which members from the CML-CAB member pool (and potentially others) will be invited to specific CAB-meetings. The CML-CAB chairs will select participants based on their skills (identified in CML-CAB self-assessment survey established for this sole purpose) and the expertise and experience required for the particular meeting. The CML-CAB chairs' choice shall reflect the expertise required for particular meeting to the best possible extend. In global CML-CAB meetings, the agreed minimum number of 8 participants (one representative of each region plus the two chairs) must not be undercut.

In September, Chinese telecommunication and computing technology company Huawei held its Huawei Connect conference in Shanghai and showed an invited group of journalists – including myself - around its factory in Shenzhen. During the visit, the company placed great emphasis on its commitment to being trusted by its customers and stakeholders and it approach to protecting and not monetising their personal data.
The visit put rotating chairman Guo Ping in front of the media for a question and answer session. While this provided a valuable insight into the company's vision and view of its market, it also revealed (perhaps unwittingly) the limits of transparency within a guarded society like China. This was perhaps most evident in Ping's deflection of my questions about data ethics and data science in favour of the corporate line.
"We attach great importance to the protection of data and privacy."
"At Huawei, we take cybersecurity and data protection as our highest priorities. We attach great importance to the protection of data and privacy, and we commit ourselves to compliance with those regulations in the countries where we operate, including GDPR in Europe," he said. "The biggest difference between Huawei and internet service providers is that Huawei has never and Huawei will never monetise customer data."
In recognition of some negative perceptions of the business, at one point Ping stressed: "If we did not do enough in the past, we are committed to further enhance our openness, collaboration and transparency so that different stakeholders - consumers, customers - have stronger confidence in Huawei as they select our products and services."
Ping made very clear that the underlying business model for Huawei is to drive revenue and profits from its technologies and products. That does not encompass data monetisation, not least because of the distance he identified between the technology infrastructure Huawei sells and the companies that make use of those products.
"Huawei does not own telephone networks or the data that runs through them."
"To give you one example in the telecoms business, Huawei does not own telephone networks. Telephone networks are owned by telephony operators and we do not own data that runs through their networks. Data is owned by telephone service providers and their users," he stressed.
That said, issues like cybersecurity do fall within the tech vendor's ambit, not least through R&D investment into products to help keep hackers out of those data streams. "The second part of the investment is related to our technologies and operations so that, as we do operations for cloud services, the customer data involved would not get abused to ensure we will be compliant with the applicable laws and the regulations," added Ping.
There is one area in which that distinction between the technology pipe and the data flowing through it getting squeezed - the new realm of artificial intelligence. Ping noted that there are three critical elements to AI: computing power, algorithms and data.
"Where do Huawei products come in in that equation? We firstly ensure that data that runs through the products cannot be properly obtained by others. We have technology expertise to ensure that," he said. "We provide Kunpeng and Ascend processors as underlying computing capabilities to help our customers to build their own platforms to make computing which used to be impossible, possible today."
Ping argued that Huawei has a role to play in encouraging the adoption of algorithms and automation. But he viewed this as very distinct from running and operating data, rather than technology.
He said: "In terms of our algorithms, this is an area that Huawei will work together with our customers or partners on the training and the maturity of the algorithms because, unlike the internet service providers or over-the-top internet service providers like Facebook or Google who have a vast number of data, Huawei has a limited set of data. Therefore, we are going to work together with our partners and customers, taking their data through training and learning."
Huawei clearly recognises that it has work to do in convincing some customers and markets that it really has no interest in any data its systems might carry or process, not least against a backdrop of the US ban on its technology running 5G and a pending UK decision on the same subject. (www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-49481270) One move has been through transparent reporting.
"Since 2000 we've hired international auditing firms to ... audit our financial numbers."
Ping said: "Huawei is not a public company, but since the year 2000, we've hired international auditing firms to help Huawei audit our financial numbers. This year, we published our annual reports and we keep engaging and communicating with all stakeholders, including our customers and suppliers. For Huawei, it's of paramount importance to get the support and trust of our customers, consumers and other stakeholders."
Despite engaging with the media and talking about openness, I was unable to drill down into how Huawei itself uses data to drive the business or the size of its data science team, for example. The response above about auditing was a deflection from a question about how open Huawei can really be within the context of China's controlling state.
But then it is difficult for somebody living in the West and working in the free press to understand fully how that country is transitioning from one political system into another and what that means for a business operating there. Huawei was clearly keen to become more open and to make it clear that revenues come from technology and it sees no profit in exploiting privacy. For the rest, that is for our own politicians to decide.

Oh Spammers what the hell is the point? I don't get it, can someone
explain to me why would you make ridiculous comments that make no sense?
What's it all about?
What do they get out of it? Is there a whole nother universe I know nothing of?
This last one came from Alaska Hunting Dogs and said they liked my
"blogs" which are interesting and terrible.
I guess they did make me laugh... out ... loud.
is that the point? they are out to make the world a funnier place?
Moving on... I'm a busy, busy, busy lady this week and will be absent
from blogging the rest of the week...'cept for a wee review I'm planning.
I'm working a huge fund raiser for the JSL that we do once a year
and the proceeds make up the bulk of what we can donate to
the local children's charities. So it's all hands on deck and I like to call
it Hell Week... however... at the end when we see what we have
come together and accomplished it's kinda like a big high!!!
Almost like adrenalin junkies we are community service, do gooder,
make the world a better place junkies.
Trying to commit to a week of working on this project and keep the house
running is not something for the fainthearted. Mens are stepping up to
the plate to support us womens... and kids are waving goodbye to Mom at
dinner time and staying awake for a goodnight kiss right before sleep.
It's a picture of suburban life all over America!
A sisterhood of cackling hens getting out there and getting it done!
Love it!!!
There will be plenty to blog about later in the week, I'll share all the
tittle tattle with you then I promise!!
Big Hugs and wish me luck, I'm already exhausted and it's only been two days!

Fundamentals over charts. Always.
I will keep you informed. You are not alone.
Stay sharp and let's kick their asses.

Another games convention, another trailer for Resident Evil 5. Not that we're complaining, of course. It looks absolutely breathtaking, and we're glad it's coming ever-so-closer to release. Let's hope that Capcom doesn't reveal too much before the game actually comes out -- some of the most terrifying things about the franchise are the surprises they keep hidden away from us.

I'm fascinated by photo projects and am always intrigued by the niche subjects people choose. Kinfolk magazine (my new obsession) led me to The Makers Project by Brooklyn-based photographer Jennifer Causey. Jennifer has made it her mission to capture the creative goings-on on her doorstep. From painters and florists to perfumers and distillers, she's recorded the relaxed beauty of the people, their products and places of work.
It was a struggle to pick one maker to showcase here because each photo story has its own beauty and charm, but I loved the simplicity of this profile of woodworker Ariele Alasko. She started off studying sculpture and now works full time crafting headboards, tables and breadboards from salvaged wood gathered from buildings being pulled down in her neighbourhood.
In between stints in her workshop Ariele also manages to write the very lovely Brooklyn to West blog (check out the about page for a sneak peek of her apartment), fit out an extremely cool restaurant and sell her wares.
{all Jennifer Causey / The Makers}
The Makers Project website is a pretty addictive so I strongly suggest you while away an hour or two flipping through Jennifer's photo stories. You can read more about why she started the project in Kinfolk volume five which I've recently discovered is available through this trusty online outlet. Kinfolk fans of the UK rejoice!

It actually almost makes you feel sorry for Bill after the Monica "incident". Remember the story about the student who had to compare "The Titanic" to Clinton's memoirs as an essay?

Usually your articles are serious (and dead on) but you also have a great sense of humour.ReplyDelete
I think it was Mr. Greenfield who reported on the mood in HRC's fuhrer bunker when she lost to Trump. HRC was reportedly drunk and threw a celebration cake against the wall or on the floor. She was hardly the poised, proud loser. I only shudder to think what kind of POTUS she would've made.ReplyDelete
How much is enough to punish the enormous evils

The mental anguish of failure and mass social

Good job, Daniel, sending her off.
Fantastic article. My favorite part of the Trump era has been watching Hillary's countless minions at Huffpo and ThinkProgress come up with increasingly implausible fantasy scenarios where Trump would resign in shame and through a series of appointments and resignations, Hillary somehow magically takes over. The legal rigor on display is somewhere around the level of a goth teenager's Twilight fan fiction.ReplyDelete
Someone smarter about Twitter than I needs to tweet Hillary a photo of young Donald Trump with the caption "Happy Birthday to this future President". Actually, Trump should do it himself. I can't believe he's not thought of it.ReplyDelete

And not have it seared permanently in your memory.
Hello Mr. Greenfield, you are a gifted man! Your command of the English language, combined with your genius level thought and reason, puts you in your own league! Please let join any and all forums you have. Would love to buy you a beer if ever on Temecula CA.ReplyDelete
This truly is a happy schadenfreude moment! This has to be one of the most humorous, provocative and profoundly satisfying articles every written about the Clintons. The "smartest woman in the world" is now an object of scorn, ridicule and worse yet; most people are chuckling, if not outright laughing at her.
I hope this gives everyone a happy schadenfruede Saturday!!!!!
.... sitting dead-eyed drunk in a high school gym while (Webster Hubbell's 85-IQ daughter, Chelsea "Clinton,") launches into an enthusiastic explanation of how (that other feckless female fascist,) Rachel Carson, made the world safe for malaria ....
GOOD GOSH when are you going to GET OVER that Hillary and Bill are irrelevant. The inept Republicans tied unsuccessfully for 30 years to find something on Hillary and Bill. Now that a RINO President is facing impeachment all you can fall back on is to continue the immature argument of "whataboutism" and ramp up some more Hillary articles in his defense? This however isn't adding anything intelligent nor worthwhile to the conversation. Talk about "living in your own imaginary echo chamber". You're better than that Daniel.ReplyDelete
Hillary is a lonely and unpopular toilet-bug with the charm of a sticky door knob. Good riddance. A pox on her and her ancestors. Feh.ReplyDelete
Some ten years ago three amigos made a deal: Barry will be POTUS plus perks after (bio book, netflix...), Joe will be VP plus oil perks for the family and Hill be POTUS in eight years time plus foundation's perks.

While we are enjoying our Christmas break in #SoCal, Kyle and I try to keep up with tasting and reviewing our weekly dosage of Classically-themed beers. We already have a couple of good ones lined up for you, but just needed some time amidst all of the family events to sit down and write. First up is one we have been eying for a while, Oil of Aphrodite by Jackie O's from Athens, Ohio. By adding this brewery to the mix, we now have reviewed beers from three of the Athenses around the world (see e.g. here and here). Only 57 more to go…
Oil of Aphrodite is an American Double Stout brewed with 'Integration Acres black walnuts and Belgian candied syrup.' The walnuts are definitely present in the scent of the beer, as well as notes of plum. Upon drinking, the Belgian candy sugar is dominant with a touch of melon and chocolate. There is also a roasted flavor to the brew, which lingers a bit after finishing.
Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of love and beauty. There are different versions of her origin story, which place her at different positions within the Greek pantheon of gods.
In Homer's Iliad, dating ca. late 8th, early 7th cent. BC) Aphrodite is a daughter of Zeus (see e.g. Hom. Il. 5.310-314) by the Titaness Dione (e.g. Hom. Il. 5.370-374). This would put her among the second generation of Olympians, on a par with deities such as Apollo and Artemis.
Yet Hesiod (Theogony, 173), a source thought to be roughly contemporary to Homer, recounts a more famous version of Aphrodite's birth. This version effectively makes her an aunt of Zeus and a pre-Olympian goddess. According to Hesiod, Aphrodite is born off from the foam that sprung from Ouranos' severed genitals falling into the sea after his son Kronos had cut them off. This would make Aphrodite the sister of Kronos. Kronos' son, Zeus, ends up overthrowing him and establishing himself, his siblings, and some of his children as the Olympian gods. While Aphrodite is apparently also invited to Mt. Olympus, in Hesiod's version of the story she is the odd one out.
The reason why the Greeks had trouble fitting Aphrodite into their pantheon may have something to do with her origins outside of Greece. Many scholars believe that the cult of Aphrodite was modeled after that of Astarte or Isthar, a goddess worshipped at the time in the Levant and Near East. The Greek geographer Pausanias, writing in the 2nd cent. AD, said (Paus. 1.14.7) that her cult was brought to Phoenicia and Cyprus from Assyria and that the Phoenicians subsequently introduced her to Kythera. Pausanias mentions both Cyprus and Kythera because both the Homeric Hymns and Hesiod associate the goddess with these islands. Indeed, Hesiod writes that the foam in which the goddess was formed first reached Kythera and next drifted to Cyprus, where Aphrodite came ashore.
37.5 ml bottle
Ingredients: black walnuts, Belgian candied syrup, malts (English, German, Belgian), hop (Pacific Northwest)
Brewed by: Jackie O's, Athens, Ohio.

Buns, with jam in. Jam wrapped with bun. That's kinda it. I was going to make my mooted 'Devonshire Dodgers' on Sunday evening but the cream I had planned on using turned out not to like being frozen (I'm so sure people are always saying you can freeze cream) plus by the time I had finished the epic making of this months random recipe that same evening (that'll be the next post) I couldn't have been bothered even if I had got cream that wasn't redefining 'lurking' as a verb for a dairy product to utilise when bored and hanging out at the bottom of it's pot.
However, today* I had an early awakening (Chap is dying of man flu / cold remember - with that condition goes certain attendant night-time snorty/snoring-but-with-added-volume noises. Sigh.) so by 6am I gave it up as a bad job and decided to whack a quick bunch of buns together for the office peeps. I used this recipe that dates to 1923; being a sucker for an old family version of anything, just adapting it in line with the sugar I had and using the Strawberry jam work had gifted me to use up as opposed to the Raspberry in the original recipe. I also measured the milk, being physically pained by recipes that say 'a little' of something or any other such massively imprecise measurement. As a novice at baking these sorts of things really do not help me at all.
* It was in fact yesterday - Monday. T'internet went down when I was trying to load this post last night though thankfully Blogger had saved it! I couldn't post it though. I'm blaming the weather.
So - simple, easy and pretty quick to knock up and needing only 15-20 mins baking these are an ideal time-frugal tea-time (or early morning!) bake for when you need buns in a hurry:
(and lets face it languorous buns are an entirely different kettle of fish, non??!) hur hur hur...
8oz SR flour
1 tsp (and a scant 1 more as mine was out of date) baking powder
3oz butter
1oz soft light brown sugar*
2oz caster sugar*
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1fl oz milk
6-12 tsp Jam from one of the 2 unopened jars work purchased for cream teas for the students in the summer then never used. Tsk! Or your own choice of jam of course! In preference I would go for a higher fruit content one and not strawberry in any way shape or form but that's just me...
A little extra milk
A little extra sugar
*The original recipe says to use all caster. I only had a couple of oz of it. That in itself is surprising for me as I tend to be more of the school of thought that says - 'use damn granulated - what's the big difference huh?' when a recipe demands caster sugar. And yes - I know it's bigger granules. (And yes - I also know full well you should never start a sentence with 'and' but it's my blog and...oh - I'm sure we had this discussion before...) So - on to the baking bit:
Preheat oven to 180 - I used 170-175 ish as we have a fan oven. Anyone with a diff temp scale go to the link on the right side bar for a well handy temp conversion chart. I'm good to you aren't I?
Sift flour and BP into a bowl.
If your butter is not soft (for example when you decide to start baking at dawn o'clock rather than planning for it therefore your butter has come straight from the fridge) chop into smaller bits and pop in the microwave for 10-20 secs to soften. Then rub it into the flour until it looks like fine breadcrumbs.
Make a well in the centre and add the egg and milk. Use a wooden spoon and draw the dry goods into the centre gradually incorporating all of it to make a soft dough. If it's too dry you can add a little more milk - a tiny drizzle at the time. If it's too wet then you should use a smaller egg. Or you could add a little more flour of course.... (he he he he...)
Grease a couple of baking sheets in preparation. Flour a board and your hands.
Form the dough into a sausage and cut in half, then half again (4 bits now else you've gone terribly wrong already and should probably at this juncture just go back to bed). Each of these pieces should be then cut into 3 giving 12 in total.
In turn, roll each into a ball and flatten slightly. Add jam to the centre. A whole teaspoonful is nicer but harder to wrap the dough round. You'll get a feel for it.
Flatten the edges a little more then brush a small amount of milk on - just enough to help the edges stick to each other securing the jam inside, too much and it'll be too soggy to maintain it's jam resistant integrity.
Place the buns join side down on the baking trays, they spread a little but I forgot to take a pic at this juncture so can't show you exactly how much by. (Oops me.) Not double in size like some similar recipes I saw said they would though!
Brush with a little milk and sprinkle with a little sugar - I used the light brown here. Large granule stuff (like the 'coffee sugar' you get in paper sachets - whatever the heck the official name for that is) would be nice here I think, for a little contrasting texture.
Bake for 15-20 mins. Mine had the full 20 and I felt would have benefited from a couple of minutes less. I thought they were very very slightly on the dry side but opinions were divided at work with people not noticing or actively liking that aspect so - it's up to you / the vagaries of your particular oven I guess. "Until golden brown" is; I guess, a term we are all happily familiar with whilst being every bit as uselessly subjective in actuality.
Cool on a wire rack. They have jam in - don't eat them hot and if you're dense enough to try to don't come a-suing me after. Just enjoy them like a well adjusted fully rounded individual would ok. Or fall upon them with cries of bun, BUNS, my preciousssss.... Whatever floats your boat. Just wait until they've cooled to do so. Nom!

Day 660
This time of year is graduation in Peru, and today there was a large parade in the central plaza of Cusco to celebrate it. The director of the private schools in town began the proceedings with some announcements, and then the kids began marching. Their uniforms were either military style or more traditional, and a band constantly played while they marched. The parade drew a large crowd of gringos, parents, vendors, and bored siblings. It was great to watch.
