Welcome! It's time for another installment of the MY FOOD Project.
MY FOOD is an online project of my ongoing research into Caribbean food culture and food heritage. The project seeks to explore how we think about food, how we use it to connect and communicate and the importance of food to our identity. For full details of the project and how you can participate, click here.
Joining us this week is Sophia Brooks (not her real name). Sophia is non-West Indian and was married a West Indian for 7 years.
SB: I am American born and I come from a bi-racial family. My father is white and my mother is black.MF: Where is your former husband from?
SB: My ex-husband was Trinidadian of Indian descent.MF: You say that you are American-born, do you currently live in the US?
SB: YesMF: While you and your ex-husband were together, who did most of the cooking? You? Him? Or was it a shared activity?
SB: It was a shared activity.MF: Which of you dictated the type of food to be cooked? In other words, which of you had the most influence on the food?
SB: I had the most influence because I am a very high-maintenance foodie. I like organic and gourmet ingredients in perfect condition.MF: How embracing was your husband of your food?
SB: He was open as long as it contained rice and some form of meat! I prefer more vegetables. I actually think it caused some problems. I like exotic foods but I also like snacks he thought were for kids. We were both good cooks but neither wanted the responsibility of being the daily chef!MF: Through research I have found that it is often the women, especially if they are the non-West Indian (such as in your case) that go to great lengths to learn of the cuisine of their spouse. Was that the case with you?
SB: I did not go to great lengths. I was already familiar with Caribbean food and knew how to prepare some dishes. He did teach me some techniques and soon I noticed that I started eating hot peppers and using them after being around him. He put hot peppers on everything.MF: What was the first Caribbean dish you were introduced to? What was the experience like?
SB: As a child I went to a grown folk's party with my mom in Los Angeles and I ate Jerk Chicken and Rice and Peas. I ate so much food that the hosts told my mom not to let me eat anymore. LOLMF: How did you learn to make Caribbean food?
SB: Some things I learnt from trial and error and others from recipes on the Internet.MY: What is the one dish that you have mastered?
SB: Not a dish but an ingredient, rice.MF: What is the one Caribbean dish that you would like to master?
SB: Your recipe for rum cake.MF: Is there any dish that you make using the influence of your ex-husband's cuisine?
SB: I make a stew chicken/peanut butter chicken dish that is influenced by Caribbean and African cuisine.MF: Thanks for sharing Sophia.
The Caribbean is known for its pepper sauce. Each country and each household has its own recipe and "secrets" for making this fiery blend of Scotch Bonnet pepper. Pepper sauce can be so hot (and flavourful) that it can make you gasp and cry involuntarily. The burn stings as it coats your tongue; you press your tongue to the roof of your mouth for some relief but you only succeed in spreading the heat for a full-on mouth burn.
One would think that with such pain you would not want to dip in to more pepper sauce with your next fork or spoonful of food, but, completely bewitched, you dip, slather and smear on more pepper sauce and continue eating. It's fierce heat yes, but gosh, the pain is pleasurable and you just can't seem to get enough of that mouthwatering (literally), flavourful sauce.

By · CommentsThe goal of the Independence Party is to establish a THIRD MAJOR PARTY in the country that does not take a stand on social issues. Instead, we believe in creating a mechanism for centered and pragmatic leadership to replace the current system which fosters political extremism.
"The press doesn't like it, the major parties don't like it, but the People want it, "
– Chairman Frank MacKay.
A special thanks to all of our Independence Party leadership across the State, Party Members and Independence Party voters from all over this great State of New York for coming out to cast your votes on Election Day 2012.
Your votes demonstrated that we are a growing and ever more important Voice in the electorate.
A Message From Chairman Frank MacKay
In nation's current state of political and economic dysfunction, there is a wave of finger-pointing going on. The growing discontent is leading to what may be described as a populist uprising – the emergence of "outsider" candidates running for public office, "Tea Party" protests and a grassroots groundswell for a leader that can solve the problems facing the country.
It is becoming increasingly clear that the People no longer believe that the two major parties, the Republicans and Democrats, can act in a bi-partisan way to reverse the current trend toward America's financial insolvency, and its associated degradation of our healthcare system, our national employment prospects and infrastructural disrepair.
Independents know that our American form of democracy, the greatest in the world, can rationalize the need to engage in spirited debate and still find common ground without causing the kind of gridlock caused major party extremism.
The country, is after all, a big tent of ideas, innovations and competing visions.
And that is what the Independence Party of New York State is all about.
A true independent can speak to all sides; find compromise and hit the right tone for the benefit of the American people.
In other words, independents in Suffolk County may have different priorities or social views than self-described independents in New York City, Buffalo or Jamestown, but we can band together in the spirit of applying common sense solutions to addressing the state's problems. We can band together in the spirit of fostering competent and innovative leadership in Albany – just as we have witnessed centuries of American ingenuity applied to technology, inventiveness and business. We can fix the dysfunction.
We must make New York State a business-friendly place that fosters job growth. Without jobs, we will continue to wallow in the reckless fiscal mess driven by years of high taxes and declining employment options in many parts of our state.
Small business is the heart and soul of New York's tax base and they employ more New Yorkers than any other sector.
Small business owners are fiercely independent and understand the daily grind of having to balance budgets, innovate and find solutions.
I ask you to join us on this mission, support the Party and DECLARE YOUR INDEPENDENCE TODAY.
Thank you for visiting our site. Come back often, join us on Facebook and tell us what's on your mind.
Chairman Frank MacKay

Week 2 Report Card Grades for Every NY Knicks Player
By Ciaran Gowan ,
After coming out of the gates strong in the first week, the New York Knicks have continued to show us some positive signs at this early stage in the season.
The second week has seen some strong playoff-level opponents both at home and on the road, with the Knicks still looking strong entering week three.
Of course, not all contributions to the team have been equal, so let's take a look at the individual report card grades for each player during the second week of the season.
You never want to give a player an A+ grade at such an early point in the season, but frankly Carmelo Anthony deserves it for his play so far.
If MVP votes were to be taken today, Melo would be your likely winner, as he's the most impressive player on what has been the best team in the league.
As you'd expect, Anthony is doing some real damage on offense, creating major match-up problems for the opposition as he plays the 4.
He's benefited greatly from not having the burden of being used as a point forward, and instead is being set up with great looks by the Knicks' new set of point guards.
That said, Anthony has always been an elite scorer; what's really astonishing is that he's now playing like an elite defender, too.
Melo is now doing some serious work on the defensive end, and though he hasn't matched up with many elite power forwards just yet, his effort has been tremendous.
The Knicks really needed him to step up and be a leader as he entered his first full season with the team, and he's done that, setting the example by diving onto the floor and into the stands for loose balls.
Anthony is also blocking shots at an increased rate, and is generally looking like a great all-around player.
It will take an entire season's worth of work for Anthony to shake off his bad reputation, but he's certainly headed in the right direction.
Former Chicago Bulls guard Ronnie Brewer is quickly establishing himself as one of the better signings of the offseason, taking the role of the all-important "glue guy" on this Knicks team.
Brewer is an underrated passer, and though it's easy to look at the point guards as the reason for New York's great ball movement, Brewer has been getting a lot of hockey assists.
Like Landry Fields did when he was here, Brewer has also been making strong cuts to the basket, always providing a second option on the offensive end.
Surprisingly, Brewer's jump shot has also improved, as he's making the most of the great looks he's getting within the Knicks' offense.
Defense has always been a strong point for Brewer, and this season has been no different. With his body and athleticism, he's pretty much the ideal wing defender, and is doing a great job of covering for Iman Shumpert.
Reigning Defensive Player of the Year Tyson Chandler managed to shake off his illness in the second week of the season, and as a result is looking much more like the player we've come to know.
Chandler's minutes are increasing as he's returned to full health, and he's used the extra time to continue playing efficient offense and dominant defense.
The ex-Dallas Maverick did a great job in particular against his former team on Friday, scoring 14 and grabbing nine boards in yet another Knicks win.
Though Chandler has been a little bit off, at the end of the day you have to credit him for being the heart and soul of what is the league's best defense so far.
Point guard was a real issue for the Knicks last season, but the addition of Raymond Felton has made that a thing of the past.
Some fans were skeptical of him replacing the more popular Jeremy Lin, but Felton has shown us he's just as good.
Weight is no longer an issue for Felton, and he's looking like a completely different player from the one that came into the season overweight in 2011-12.
Felton is penetrating, dishing, shooting and everything in between, proving himself to truly be an all-around point guard.
He's not a superstar by any means, but with his ability to do such a variety of things, he's been one of the league's best point guards.
Calling him the best, as he did before the season, is a bit of a stretch, but so far you could make a case for him at least being in the top 10.
What can you say about Jason Kidd?
Even though he's been much less productive during the season's second week, his leadership qualities have made sure that he's still been a huge part of the team's early success.
When it's asked of him, Kidd is hitting his jump shots, posting ridiculous shooting numbers early in the season. So far he's hitting 59 percent of his shots, and 50 percent from deep.
Kidd is also having success defending at the 2 rather than at the 1, and has done an admirable job of slotting into the starting lineup with Amar'e Stoudemire injured.
Using the mid-level exception on him in the summer may have been questionable at the time, but so far he's proving Glen Grunwald right with his intangible contributions to the team.
Steve Novak's sole job on the Knicks is to hit threes, so when he has a cold shooting week it's hard to give him a very high grade.
Novak went 1-of-6 on the week, but it's not like he's really hurting the team with his performance.
His defense is still not great, but if nothing else it's improved, and he's much less of a liability than he has been.
Moving forward, we should expect Novak's shooting to average out, and come season's end he may just lead the league in three-point percentage again.
Even at age 35, Pablo Prigioni showed some rookie jitters during his first week of the season, but his performance has improved as he's gotten used to the NBA.
With his style of play, and the simple fact that he's a third-string point guard, Prigioni's numbers were never going to be flashy, but he's still provided a nice spark off the bench.
Prigioni just has the ability to see things that most players can't, making some great assists on offense, and also causing some trouble with his defense.
Though he hails from Argentina and has only just made it to the NBA, Prigioni clearly knows the abilities of his teammates, and will continue to put them in positions to make big plays like this throughout the season.
When you look at J.R. Smith, it's clear to see that he's always had fantastic talent as a basketball player.
For some reason, though—mainly due to some bad habits—he hasn't quite been able to capitalize on those talents, and be the player that we all know he can be.
Under Mike Woodson, we've seen Smith approach the game a lot differently, and he's now making smart plays on both ends of the floor.
No longer will you see him jacking up terrible early shots; instead he looks to drive to the basket, create plays and most importantly be more conservative with his shot selection.
The result of these changes is a 17.5 points per game scorer, who's also been putting up five assists each night. Those are James Harden-caliber numbers, and at this point you'd have to consider Smith as the front-runner to take Harden's crown as the Sixth Man of the Year.
A lot has been made of Rasheed Wallace taking a "Brian Scalabrine role" with the Knicks, but he's genuinely been a solid contributor to this point.
For a player who's been out of the league for a couple of years, he's not showing too many signs of rust at all.
He gives the Knicks an extra shooter and a physical presence down low, and that's really all you can ask of a player who's not yet in full shape.
As Sheed returns to 100 percent fitness, expect his minutes to go up, and for him to possibly start if and when the Knicks decide to go big.


text: Hello Everyone. I hope that you are all having a wonderful time. Seems like our business is getting tougher everyday. I believe that things will get better. We must simply change with the times. If you arent doing FHA business then you might want to start immediately. While the sub-prime mess continually sends ripples into our economy there must be another avenue to send business. The avenue I believe that will carry our business through this market is FHA. This goes for realtors and mortgage bankers. 500+ credit scores have the ability to go 97% purcahse and 95% cash out. If you dont get signed up with FHA then you will be out of business. As for realtors, start marketing to renters again. There are so many steals out there right now. To have the ability to buy these properties already discounted with only 3 % down is a dream come true. If you need help with FHA then give me a call. Good luck!

Every day, Cynthia, manager of Jupiter Pointe Paddling, opens her hibiscus-adorned rental hut to let adventure seekers set sail from the sandy banks of a crescent-shaped private beach. A complimentary lesson accompanies every kayak or paddleboard rental, letting beginners get their bearings before they glide toward a nearby sandbar to spot sea turtles, manatees, and majestic stingrays. More experienced water skimmers can paddle up to the Jupiter Lighthouse, which grants a glimpse of 120 palm-studded acres punctuated by 25 special-status species of wildlife and one boring labrador. The staff of water warriors also mixes up the aqueous activities with Mommy and Me sessions, standup-paddleboard-yoga classes, and kids' lessons, along with exalting the outdoors with full-moon celebrations and sealife-spotting tours.
Couched within Pirate's Cove Resort & Marina, Pirate's Loft Restaurant garners fresh seafood daily to shore up its menu of sea-gotten fare. Covered outdoor seating gives diners views of the waterfront and secret seagull choir rehearsals as they dig into plates of crisp-fried fish and shrimp, bowls of shellfish-laden pasta, or specialty seafood fare. Land-faring selections include Angus beef handpicked by the chef for quality, and occasional live music invites guests onto the dance floor while also testing the acoustics of the high wooden rafters and tabletops.
With swinging wood saloon doors, hanging lamps made from cowboy hats, and local ranchers' brands seared into each tabletop, Cowboys' Bar-B-Q & Steak Co.'s three locations make visitors feel as though they've just stumbled in from the Texas lowlands. Many of founder Jim McCoin's self-devised recipes come from years of careful cooking while on the professional barbecue-competition circuit, which regularly led his team "Big Daddy Q" to victory. Wings strut across plates dressed in up to 20 sauce flavors, compelling tongues to quench thirst with 10 draft beers or Western-themed margaritas. Beverages are served in mason jars, carried past decorations such as photographs representing local ranching families. For outside eaters, Cowboys' supplies its hearty grilled fare through take-out and catering each day of the week.
When Dean Lavallee opened the first Park Avenue BBQ in 1988, he had one lofty mission in mind: to serve the best barbecue ever made. Despite the seemingly impossible nature of his goal, he and his team continue to rise to the challenge, dry-rubbing their meats to smoke and char-grill on-site. They use all-natural, grain-fed, domestic pork for their traditional and Carolina-style barbecue pork—pulled by hand—and only use fresh, never-frozen ribs that are smoked daily over hickory. As diners chow down on hearty homestyle sides, seafood platters, or buffalo wings tossed in one of six sauces, they can admire the dining room's pictures of their city's most prominent people, places, and robot mayors.
Park Avenue BBQ arranges their meats into fun, hearty dishes such as the Dempublican sandwich, which combines smoked pork and beef brisket separated only by cheese and bacon to create a sizeable sandwich that the team has dubbed "porkalicious". They whip up Funnybonz, which look and taste like miniature ribs, using tender, lean pork that's prepared by cooking up regular ribs beneath a shrink ray. In 2008, their dedication to each dish caused Cityvoter's users to name Park Avenue BBQ the best barbecue in town.
Scott Angelo can tell you the exact sip of coffee that changed his life. He didn't think he would become a coffee roaster until he had a cup of Sumatra coffee from Indonesia and became obsessed with recreating its richness and complexity on his own. Working first with a popcorn popper and graduating to a grill that he converted into a roaster, Scott started roasting green beans in small batches, teaching himself how to achieve those complicated flavors. Now, Scott and his wife Amy run Oceana Coffee, serving up the caffeinated fruit of their labor right inside the café. They roast each batch to order, including medium Ethiopian batches with notes of blueberry, light roasts from Costa Rica, and rich sultry batches from the dark side of the moon.

"Data tells stories about our lives"
11th May 09
Posted in creativity, data, design
If data visualisation is the new rock and roll, Elvis has (just) left the building. Aaron Koblin played to an enthralled audience of BBH-ers this afternoon, blew our minds and incredibly kindly agreed to be interviewed by Labs afterwards.Our interview to follow soon, but to whet your appetite, a quick download of our (and your) key questions for the rock star of the data visualisation world.
Balancing immediacy and intrigue: A frequent criticism of data visualisation is that while often extremely beautiful, sometimes it doesn't make the information contained any clearer-it can sometimes even seem to obfuscate in the name of art. Should great data visualisation simplify or should it embrace complexity and reward exploration? Should it be reductive or expansive in intent?Where left brain meets right brain: When embarking on a project, which comes first, the data or the technique? How critical a role does software play? Do the themes and memes recurring in data visualisation reflect the artists' preoccupations or the data sets available?Proliferation versus privacy: One of the key enablers of data visualisation is the phenomenal explosion in the amounts of data we now generate everywhere we go. We live in a golden age of open-ness around personal data but will we reach a tipping point where we reclaim our personal privacies? Or will we opt in to share anonymised data for the common good?The power of synesthesia: Some of the most compelling data visualisation projects are those which express one medium-almost one sense- by means of another. Visually representing dance or music, aurally representing data sets-what is it we find so compelling about this "synesthetic" effect?Crowd-sourcing versus the wisdom of the crowd: Koblin's recent work experiments with crowd-sourcing but suggests an ambivalence about the process. While a central theme of data visualisation is the wisdom of the crowd, how does it skew the data if the crowd knows it's being watched? Is the unconscious wisdom of the crowd purer and more compelling or is conscious collaboration of the masses the future? How important is the role of the curator in that process?
Answers – or at least compelling and considered answers – on a blogpost near you shortly….
The Storyteller's Story
21st April 09
Posted in creativity, interactive
If the past couple of weeks have seen some of the industry's finest minds crystallise why there isn't more great work in the interactive space, then from here on in – inevitably, I guess – this debate is going to need to shift on its axis slightly and focus on the trickier task of finding tangible solutions.
The good news is that there already appear to be some answers emerging, all with the potential to lead somewhere interesting and worth recording. I'm going to approach this pretty organically and see where it goes. Please feel free to jump in, disagree, debate, add your own suggestions etc.
First up, a theme that may seem controversial to some: the wholesale reinvention of a (sometimes much maligned) skill, the art of storytelling.
Ben's second post caught my attention with the observation that "there's currently much less of a culture of developing narrative or storytelling on the web" and this got me thinking.
Part of the issue behind this, I would hazard a guess, is the fact story telling as a skill has come to be associated with the old school mores of broadcast advertising. By way of illustration, in his NMA column last week Mark Cridge talked about the need for a creative director to be comfortable with the idea of curation, rather than control. A thought that made complete sense – no question. His piece then went on to conclude "If these are the skills that are going to be important from now on, which type of creative director would you rather work with: a big budget brand storyteller obsessed with control, or one more comfortable with the ebb and flow of the interactive world?"
Reading this, you'd be forgiven for thinking storytelling no longer has a place or is badly in need of rehab. In truth, and I am going to nail my colours to the mast here, it's never had the potential to be more relevant or exciting.

We are the Robots!
20th April 09
Posted in BBH Labs, creativity, design, process
In eager anticipation of the new Terminator film, I've done a little poking around into what's happening in the world of robots.
The main action in this area is clearly in Asia. And while Korea pushes ahead with plans to build robot parks, even going so far as to introduce legislation for a robot code of ethics to "Prevent Android Abuse and Protect Humans," it's the Japanese who appear to be in the quickest sprint to building a creepy robo-future.
Due to strict immigration laws and a quickly aging population (its expected that 1/3 of its citizenry will be over 60 by 2050) the country is racing to realize a day when robots can provide care for their elderly, clean homes and provide administrative office tasks. Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry is actively involved in supporting the development of intelligent robots and hopes to introduce many of the models in development into the marketplace by 2015.
Here's a cross-sample of what's in store…
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Paro is the "World's most therapeutic robot." It uses an array of sensors to respond to audible, visual, and tactile stimulation. Each Paro attains a unique personality of sorts due to its ability to be trained to execute (or refrain from) specific actions. Pet Paro and he knows he is being rewarded for good behaviour, smack him and he will do his best not to repeat that behaviour. (For full post click below)
How Do Creatives Think?
17th April 09
Posted in creativity, process
One of the most enduringly brilliant things about working in a creative business is that, for the most part, it remains a complete mystery as to how the creative mind actually develops thinking and ideas. Much as many have tried to bring science, objectivity and rationality to advertising and marketing over the years, most would agree that the majority of breakthrough creativity somehow seems to defy rules, not follow them. It all still seems – on balance – to be more art than science. And long may that continue (in fact, I'm trying to write something up right now on the emerging battle between art and the algorithm).
I've been talking to Glenn Griffin (SMU-Dallas) and Deborah Morrison (U. Oregon) about this theme. These guys are professors who teach aspiring creatives and study creativity. Their latest project is a book that will showcase drawings of the creative process by some of the ad industry's best, including BBH New York's very own ECD Kevin Roddy (see his drawing, below), Alex Bogusky, David Baldwin, David Kennedy, Nancy Rice, Luke Sullivan and many others.
The drawings reveal so much about each individual's pathway to ideas and constitute a unique archive of the brain power that fuels the business. Just skimming through the early submissions from some fairly legendary creatives I was struck by both just how different they were from each other (some drawn, some cartoon, many mixing images and copy), but also how simple they were.
The book, tentatively titled Pure Process, is set for publication in Summer 2010 by How Books. Glenn and Deborah are still looking for last-minute submissions from anyone who wants to play.
Interested? You can contact them direct at email@example.com
Crowdsourcing continued…
10th April 09
Posted in creativity, crowdsourcing
One week into our Crowdspring experiment and I've been pointed to some thoughtful debates on the subject as well as those whose tone resembles an angry mob.
From the latter crowd I keep hearing this analogy that using Crowdspring is akin to outsourcing (complete with images of dank foreign sweatshops). If were going to trade in metaphors, I would counter by labeling this crowd protectionist. (Picture angry immigration opponents rallying to protect US jobs they probably don't want in the first place.)
This isn't outsourcing and this isn't bootlegging. This is simply about an expanded marketplace. And as long as your product is best-in-market, you'll always have best-in-market work at your door.
One last thing I need to note as some are accusing us of being exploitive and that bothers me greatly. (MORE BELOW)
10 Reasons Why There's Not More Great Work in the Interactive Space
8th April 09

(NOTE: This post is an attempt to capture some of the emerging themes resulting from an earlier and original post on the subject – see http://bit.ly/iZf7 for original post . . . probably worth going there first if you've landed here and want to contribute)
Some great, insightful and provocative replies to the earlier question around the perceived paucity of great work in interactive.
First off, I found it fascinating that – to date at least – no one's responded with a great list of knockout creative, or, in fact, with any knockout creative. This would suggest that there is indeed a problem and that it's not just perception. Please correct me if I'm wrong here. I'm reassured that various folks who 'know their shit' have commented here, and I'm certain they would have picked out the gems had I missed them in my haste to make the point.
Second, what we have emerging is a really very useful list of factors that, together, explain why we're not yet seeing consistently great work, and in particular strong enduring campaigns, in the interactive space. Factors cited by contributors will be familiar to many, and include the following, which are reported not as fact but as supposition, at least at this stage:
1. SPEED – Our lack of speed in responding to the changing landscape, a blight suffered by agencies of both old & new skools, digital & analogue, hampers creative innovation.
2. ENDURANCE – We suffer a particular weakness at creating . . . (more)
Why isn't there more great work in the interactive space?
6th April 09
Posted in creativity, interactive
There's a debate that, if not quite raging, is certainly simmering about the perceived lack of breakthrough creativity in digital brand advertising (for example: http://bit.ly/14HeCe). I think everyone would agree that great work does exist. But maybe just not enough of it. So why the paucity?
Well let's get one thing out of the way right away. It's almost certainly the case (please argue with me if you think this is not true) that the percentage of "great work" in interactive is no less than that on any other canvas. Great work is rarer than a Texan in a Smart Car. Full-stop. But there seem some quite specific reasons why there's not a whole load of stunningly great creative in interactive.
So, a few linked observations about why this might be the case.
One, as an industry, it seems as if marketing is mesmerized by the (very welcome) potential efficiencies & measurability of digital and that this can lead to blindness when it comes to the creative opportunities. The talk is frequently of driving costs down through zero wastage, or improving efficiency (all good of course), and less often about increasing engagement, forging deeper links with consumers over time, storytelling across screens, and so on. How far away are we from work of the quality and ambition of Aaron Koblin or Jonathan Harris in what we produce for clients? To some extent, even average digital work can be more accountable than much of the work produced for the offline world, and sometimes that accountability can veil what is actually remarkably humdrum work. Here one's reminded of the John Banham quote: In business we tend to value most highly that which we can measure most precisely. Traditional agencies are, in particular, often in the position of knowing they need to produce both more effective and more emotive interactive work, but not knowing remotely how to develop it.
Two, we probably need to stop looking at digital creativity as somehow different . . . (more) Read full post

Abstract | The point-contact spectroscopy is used to address the evolution of two superconducting energy gaps in the Al- and C-doped magnesium diboride polycrystals and single crystals with T-c's from 39 to 22 K prepared by different techniques. The obtained evolution of two gaps does not show any anomalous behavior but can be consistently described by the combination of the (prevailing) band filling effect and a (minor) increased interband scattering as proposed by Kortus et al. [Kortus et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 94 (2005) 027002]. The approaching of two gaps is stronger in the Al-doped systems but interband scattering is still not large enough to merge two gaps. The full merging can expected only for higher dopings with T-c's below 10-15 K. In-magnetic-field measurements are used to analyze the intraband scatterings introduced by these two substitutions. It is shown that the carbon doping introduces significant disorder mainly by decreasing the diffusion coefficient in the pi band while the Al substitution leaves the samples in the clean limit.

I prefer Emily's spicy side. I think that side of her is a much better representation of her true personality than the one you see on the show. The whole prim and proper perfectly spoken Emily, I could do without. When she told Kalon, "You should be a politician…because that's the biggest load of bullshit I have ever heard", I almost clapped. Especially when she reported to everyone all of the nasty things he had been saying about her online. You can't post, "Sorry I'm not sorry" and then come on national television and try to pretend that you're not a jerk. "I'm flattered you follow me on Twitter", was the best comeback line he could come up with. I guess it's easier for him to be witty when he's at home and has more time to think about what to post. Emily then followed up with, "I hope that you find some faith in something other than your Prada shoes and rented helicopter". He's definitely a better fit for Bachelor Pad. Maybe he and Vienna can hook up. Spending 5 minutes watching this show can truly change your life. We now know the difference between confidence and arrogance. Ryan really cleared that up for us when Chris Harrison asked him, "Is it possible that you really are an arrogant ass?" His answer of course was NO! But it became clear to me that confident is what you think you are, but when you constantly talk about yourself…it becomes arrogance…and that definition my dear Ryan should have your photo next to it in Webster's dictionary. It seems there were several people confused about Ryan. Chris Harrison was confused as to what Emily saw in Ryan in the first place and bachelor Chris was confused about what Ryan's real feelings were for Emily. Emily was charmed by Ryan's good looks and sweet talking ways and for Ryan, it wasn't 100 percent about Emily. He wasn't just looking to get to know Emily…he was looking for a wife (AKA prize or trophy…Ryan's words not mine). Bottom line is they were both really attracted to one another, but there wasn't a spark. Ryan said, "I've been a bachelor for a long time in Augusta". I'm not really surprised about that. Maybe he should have gone online to trophywife.com instead of coming on The Bachelorette. He's way too into himself to ever really be into anyone else. I wish I could create a photo album of Chris' expressions on this show. I think he's a "don't poke the bear" kind of guy too. He and Brad should hang out and talk about what they did wrong with Emily. Chris said he's ready to settle down and he's so grateful to Emily for helping to open his eyes to falling in love. So what better way to start your healthy journey into finding love than to take the leap on Bachelor Pad!? Yeah I truly think that you'll find the love of your life there buddy. I don't think that it was a surprise to anyone when Chris Harrison announced that Ryan would not be the next Bachelor, but I definitely think they set Sean up to be. I haven't heard any rumors yet, but I think this kid looks pretty promising. He didn't have any major breakdowns. I didn't see an angry side. He is well spoken. Emily clearly thought he was "perfect"…just maybe not perfect for her. I think ABC would have a winner there if they could snag him for next season. We will have to see. Tune in next week for the THREE HOUR LONG finale...really?! Does it really need to be that long? Just eenie meenie miney mo or something if it's that hard. I've got a quarter you can borrow Emily. Heads Arie, Tails Jef…either way you've got yourself a cute rich dude who's in love with you. Can't be that bad!

Hillary Clinton goes to sub-Saharan Africa: a counterpoise to China's sway?
The Secretary of State was in Senegal Wednesday, kicking off a six-nation trip to sub-Saharan Africa. Hillary Clinton will highlight Africa's economic and political progress – and try to define what Obama means by 'partnership, not patronage.'
(Page 2 of 2)
Clinton will wind up her trip Aug. 10 in South Africa, a middle-income country whose global influence is rising as one of the BRICS (Brazil, India, China, South Africa) emerging economies. Before that, she will make stops in Uganda, Kenya, Malawi, and South Sudan, which became the continent's newest country in 2011 after breaking off from Sudan.
Skip to next paragraphSouth Africa is a good place for Clinton to bring a new US policy toward Africa, some experts say, because in some key ways it represents where a growing Africa is heading: increased prosperity for some as investment grows, but under broad and crushing inequality.
"South Africa is a middle-income country with perhaps the highest inequality in the world," says Haroon Bhorat, director of development policy research at the University of Cape Town. Clinton, he says, is likely to emphasize that South Africa must address its considerable economic challenges, including unemployment that tops 25 percent, if it wants to fulfill its promise as "Africa's next big thing."
Clinton will also be looking to elaborate what the White House unveiled last month as its "new strategy for sub-Saharan Africa," which speaks of four "pillars" of US relations with the continent: democracy-building, trade and investment, development, and peace and security. The latter point reflects growing concern across the administration that Al Qaeda and affiliated extremist groups are gaining new footholds in pockets of instability.
But some experts say what is billed as a "new strategy" risks not sounding all that different to Africans – especially if it remains policy with little concrete application.
"What the US is talking about sounds good, but it comes across to both the leaders and the people in Africa as theoretical and abstract, and that will hamper the US role in Africa until it becomes something more concrete," says Terza Lima-Neves, an associate professor of African politics at Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, N.C.
Despite a "yearning" across much of Africa for the things the US talks about, from strengthened democracies to greater respect for human rights, Professor Lima-Neves says, there is also a part of Africans that appreciates the "more concrete" version of assistance that China has made a part of its investment strategy.
Noting that China has focused on building infrastructure while "leaving things like governance or human rights alone," she says there's no denying the appeal of that approach "to the family that now has a paved street in front of their house or a school for their kids to go to."
That doesn't mean the Chinese approach is better, Lima-Neves says, but rather that the US should figure out a way to make its policy and its "partnership" with Africa more tangible.

If getting your child to learn his times tables is a struggle, the thought of him mastering computer programming probably sounds rather far-fetched. But from September 2014, following a successful campaign led by Google chairman Eric Schmidt to introduce computer coding to the primary-school curriculum as a matter of 'prominence and urgency', all five to 11 year olds in England will be taught code as part of the ICT curriculum. Baffled? Here's what you need to know.
Coding means telling a computer what to do by giving it commands to which it responds. Computer programmers use a variety of 'languages' such as Java, C++ and Python to design, write and maintain computer programs. So why teach it to kids?
'We live in a digital age, and children need to understand how the devices they're using work and how to control them,' says Clare Sutcliffe, co-founder of Code Club, a new initiative offering free after-school coding lessons to Year 5 and 6 children. 'Raising a generation of children who can code will have massive benefits to our future economy.'
Teaching coding puts children in control of the computer and lets them learn through experimentation, mastering concepts such as logic and consequences. It can also be a lot more fun than traditional ICT lessons, which typically revolve around using Word and PowerPoint and teach children how to be 'secretaries' rather than helping them learn how computers work.
You'd be forgiven for thinking that coding is far too complex for the average primary-school child. 'There are many different levels of computer programming, and some of it is incredibly complicated,' agrees Clare. 'However, if you use the right language, coding can be accessible to children as young as seven or eight.'
Of course, your child won't master an entire programming language overnight, but some platforms can be surprisingly easy to use. 'In Code Club, we're using an interface called Scratch, developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology specifically for children,' Clare explains. 'It's a drag-and-drop system, so they can program computers without actually having to write code, and is teacher-friendly too.'
Must be the Raspberry Pi effect! The Raspberry Pi is a basic, bare-board (uncased), programmable computer the size of a credit card, which can be plugged into a keyboard, screen and mouse to form a fully functioning unit. Designed by a charitable foundation as a tool for teaching children how to code, its low price (£22 plus VAT) and simple technology make it ideal for giving children an understanding of how computers work and experimenting with many different programming languages.
So far, most school orders for the Raspberry Pi have come from private schools, but the founders of the Raspberry Pi Foundation hope that many more schools will invest in the product. It's thought it could have as big an impact on computer science teaching as the BBC Micro (a computer widely used in schools in the 1980s, with its own beginner-friendly programming language). And if your child's school isn't getting in on the act, it's an accessible pocket money purchase for many budding programmers.
If coding is a new concept to both you and your child, it's a great idea to tackle it together. Try these websites to give you a taster.
A free, interactive site that will give you an introduction to coding, tracking your progress against your friends'.
A free downloadable system that works on any computer, teaching your child Ruby programming to make games and other fun apps.
An child-friendly introduction to programming without having to write actual code, with over 2.5 million projects.
A not-for-profit movement running free coding clubs for young people.
A US-based website to help you teach your child to code – even if you don't know how to do it yourself.
A visual programming tool specifically designed for children aged 7-14. It runs on Xbox and PCs and allows for interactive games to be built using only a game controller for input.
A free iPad game that introduces children to Javascript, one of the most popular programming languages, by helping them develop a range of coding skills through strategic game-play and customizable 'CodeWalker' robots; if you want to progress in the game you need to get your robot to move correctly by writing code for it.

Just think of it as a way to tap into the communal hum of all the other freelancers - with the privacy to wear pyjamas. Here are some other tools that make freelancing life better, most of them completely free.
Read Whole Story
Happy National Freelancers Day, national freelancers! Why not celebrate it by spending too much time on the internet, not getting dressed 'til 6pm and...
In the past year we've seen the amount of time UK freelancers are selling their services to companies abroad (and in particular to far Eastern countries) more than double on PeoplePerHour. You'd think that these are specialist services from the upper echelons of our labour force. But they are not.
As more of us start to assess what we really value in our working lives we may find that the sharing economy opens up more options for our own working lives too, as portfolio working and 'renting time' become increasingly mainstream.
I'm realising that lots of people like the idea of freelancing, but when they hear what it's really like they find it's not right for them. Here are a few points to consider:
I've left my job as an in house social media manager to make it on my own. Expectation levels are high but the person putting the most pressure on me is me. To others what I have already achieved in these early days looks like success, to me it is just the start.
Freelancers are always out of work. Even when they're in work, they're out of work. If you are not working, you have no money. And if you are working, you have no time to find more work. When the job ends, you have time, but no work. Whichever way you approach it, you always have no money.
All freelancers live in spotlessly clean houses, with alphabetised spice racks and an encyclopaedic knowledge of disused Tube stations following endless fits of procrastination... right? People often seem to think this is the case, as did I to an extent before I went freelance myself.
Flexible work hours may be on the rise, but anyone who ventures out during rush hour traffic could be excused to think otherwise. The freedom to break out of these patterns is often a key motivator for freelancers, as it was for me too.
If a writer is prepared to work without getting paid, how good can they be? If a plumber offers to work for free, that could be a bad sign. But writing isn't like other professions. A struggling writer is a romantic figure; a struggling brain surgeon, less so.
I'll hold my hands up. I'm 100% unemployable. When I say "unemployable" I don't mean unprofessional; I just mean I am not cut out to do the same role ...

Book Description:"... a very important contribution to contemporary debates on economic and political reform in developing countries. Based on interviews King conducted himself, this is an honest, unvarnished examination and critique of propositions that are treated like gospel." —Lisa AndersonIn Liberalization against Democracy, Stephen J. King argues that, in contrast to prevailing views, pro-market economic reforms in Tunisia did not foster democratization. Instead, state-led economic liberalization facilitated the reorganization of authoritarian rule and contributed to the subversion of democratic tendencies at both the national and local levels. In addition to King's analysis of neo-liberal economic transformation and regime change at the national level, his book offers a rare local-level analysis of these processes, based on the author's extensive fieldwork in the rural community of Tebourba. King's focus on the local level of analysis is particularly valuable. His community study shows firsthand how local elites have manipulated cultural traditionalism in order to sustain market-oriented reforms. This rich account clearly delineates the pathways by which pro-market reforms in Tunisia have fostered corporatism, clientelism, and authoritarianism.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
GSM BlackBerry users who felt snubbed by RIM's recent releases, like the Storm 2 and Tour 9630 on Verizon, can finally get in on the new device action. RIM took the wraps off BlackBerry Bold 9700, an update to the popular BlackBerry Bold 9000, which debuted last year on AT&T. Sporting a slimmer design, better camera (3.2-megapixels as opposed to the 9000's 2-megapixel shooter), slightly better display, the Bold 9700 is an ideal upgrade for those looking to ditch their 8300 series Curves.
Measuring 4.3-by-2.4-by-0.6-inches thick, the 9700 is much more pocketable than the 9000. It is lighter, as well, weighing 4.2 ounces (down from 4.8 ounces). It still has the leatherette back, but it is minimized on this new version. This is a good thing; we found the original a bit gaudy due to its excess of leatherette.
Another welcomed design tweak is the addition of touch-sensitive trackpad instead of a trackball. In my short hands-on time with the 9700, I found the pad very responsive. Anyone who has owned a BlackBerry knows the issues with the trackball: It gets dirty, gets stuck, and sometimes falls out. The touch trackpad also gives the Bold the sensation of a touchscreen device, particularly when you're using it to swipe through pictures.
The Bold 9700 has a similar keyboard as the original with sculpted keys and thin metal dividers akin to a guitar frets. This design is meant to eliminate finger slippage and enhance the keyboard's usability. The original's keyboard felt roomy and ergonomic, somewhat in part to the handset's measurements. With a narrower keyboard, I am curious to see how the comfortable the 9700's will be.
The Bold 9700 has the same 624 MHz processor as the 9000, so I can assume the Bold 9700 will be as speedy as the 9000. Like its predecessor, the 9700 has Wi-Fi and built-in GPS. The T-Mobile version supports UMA-calls over Wi-Fi-but the AT&T version won't. RIM says the Bold will be available from T-Mobile and AT&T in the beginning of November. Pricing has not yet been announced, but when the Bold debuted last year, it had the hefty price tag of $300.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

sail-world.com -- Auckland Anniversary Regatta welcomes the return of Dragon Boats
Auckland Anniversary Regatta welcomes the return of Dragon Boats
Tue, 15 Jan 2013
Just like the city itself, Auckland Anniversary Regatta is a melting pot of cultural experiences, and the regatta is pleased to welcome the return of Dragon Boating to the Waitemata Harbour.
It's the Chinese year of the Water Dragon, and Dragon Boats will take to the water, for Auckland Anniversary Regatta, on Monday 28 January.
Crewed by ten paddlers, plus a drummer to set the rhythm, and a sweep or helm to guide the boat in a straight line, the boats, which are from Auckland, the Bay of Plenty and Hamilton, will be based at Waitemata Plaza, and will race from approximately 10am-4pm in the Viaduct Basin.
Chris Stone of the Auckland Dragon Boat Association, says that these particular boats are manufactured in Fuyang, China, close to the birthplace of dragon boating itself.
'The story goes that political activist Qu Yuan drowned, and the people would paddle out into the river to throw rice and feed his spirit,' explains Chris. 'A dragon was apparently eating the food, and Qu Yuan's spirit returned and asked supporters to wrap the rice in leaves and bamboo.'
This, he says, was the origin on the famous dragon rice cake, and dragon boat racing came about as organised celebrations of Qu Yuan, beginning in the fifth or sixth century A.D.
Modern Dragon Boat racing began in the 1970s in Hong Kong, and made its way to New Zealand on the backs of Olympic Kayak gold medallists Ian Ferguson and Paul MacDonald.
Today there are over 3,000 paddlers in New Zealand, and the sport is popular in many other countries.
'Though this is a fun event and medals won't be awarded, competition, as always, will be fierce,' says Chris.
The best place to view Dragon Boat racing is on the walk around the southern edge of the viaduct, or from Te Whero Island or at one of the fantastic waters edge restaurants in the Viaduct area. Waka Ama and sailing activities will also be taking place in the vicinity.
Full details for spectators and competitors can be found at
. Organisations supporting the event are the Royal New Zealand Navy, Classic Hits 97.4FM, the Spirit of Adventure Trust, The Southern Trust, The Lion Foundation, and Ports of Auckland Ltd.

Product Details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?
The movie begins with the camera scanning the luxuriant palace where most (all?) of the action is to take place. It's a wonderful sequence, which lends the baroque interior a sense of elegiac mystery, as if one were entering excavated halls built by an extinct civilization. Only the voiceover, in its self-conscious mumbling, sounds a note that is vaguely of out sync.
This contradictory note germinates. What follows at first is a largely incoherent mixture of awkwardly pompous scenes, which are delivered with sometimes egregious overacting and set in a style that points to French cinematic drama of the generation preceeding Resnais'. Most of it is so hokey that one is hard-pressed to take it seriously, and you can't help wondering if this is a prelude that the film will snap out of, just like the wooden intonations in the opening of "Hiroshima, mon amour" give way to subtle naturalistic acting. The dialog, too, seems conspiratorial, alluding to unsolvable puzzles, subverted communication, and things intended to mean whatever one wants them to mean. By the time the script delivers a clear-cut joke, in the authoritative but absurd description of a statue which two characters had been trying to interpret, it is tempting to adopt the working hypothesis that you're watching a parody.

I first stumbled on the Nutribullet System after desperately looking for a solution to my weight problems and lack of energy…
If you want to check out the availability of Nutribullet and find great deals, check out these online deals "Nutri Bullet NBR-12 12-Piece Hi-Speed Blender/Mixer System"
You'll see why it's not a blender and it's also not a juicer. When I first started to juice, I bought a Hamilton Juicer at a local store and it was a great deal. But I noticed that it's taking me a lot of time to setup the equipment and clean the equipment after using it.
And if you are going to work everyday, I just don't have enough time to create my own juice from fruits and vegetables.
Another thing that I noticed with my Juicer is that I seem to be throwing away 90% of the nutrients in the fruits and vegetables in the form of fiber.
It's because juicing "squeezes" the extract but throws out the fiber which most health professionals would say is very important to your health and digestive system.
So after watching reading and researching more about the Nutribullet, I thought I might give it a try.
So we went to a local store that seems to be selling Nutribullet and they were out of stock. It seems that a lot of people have bought the Nutribullet System here in Greater Toronto Area.
We have to drive for about an hour and a half just to go to the next available store that has the Nutribullet.
Finally we were able to get it and I can't wait to try and test it out. *I just want to note, that there is a similar termed product called Magic Bullet. Don't get the Magic bullet.
Note: The MagicBullet system is NOT the same as the NutriBullet.
MagicBullet are less powerful and they do not "pulverize" fruits and vegetables. Don't make the mistake of getting one because you think it will do the same job, it won't.
My First Impression on the NutriBullet
It's smaller than I thought and lighter too.
I was accustomed to the size of my previous Juicer and blender (yes I have both) and the Nutribullet system is just a space saver. Just make sure to keep it out of reach of children to prevent them from playing with it and plugging it to the electrical socket.
I opened the box and I immediately counted if all parts are present and there is none missing or broken parts. If there are any broken and missing parts, I'm sure you'll be able to return and exchange it immediately whether you bought it online or in a local store.
The box contains:
- 1 User Guide and recipe Books (1 in English and 1 in French – I'm in Canada)
- 1 Nutribullet Motor (the Main piece of equipment in the system)
- 1 Tall Cup
- 1 Short Cup
- 1 Handled Short Cup
- 1 Extractor Blade
- 1 Milling Blade
- 2 Stay Fresh Resealable Lids
- 1 Pocket Nutritionist
- 2 comfort lip rings
For a total of 12 pieces. I checked mine and I have all twelve items.
If you're the type of person who prefers to read the manual, then go on.But basically what the manual tells you some basic do's and dont's when operating the system.
Here are the most important instructions:
1. Check With Your Doctor before Consuming any Nutriblast Recipe.This is a MUST especially if you are taking any medication.
2. To prevent injury and electric shock, Never immerse the cord, power base and electric parts of the system into water.
3. Always unplug the system when NOT in use.
4. Don't use the Nutribullet system for more than 1 minute. This will overheat and damage the High RPM motor inside the system.
5. Blades are sharp and should be handled with care.
6. Never leave Nutribullet running unattended.
7. Don't put the Extractor and Milling Blades in the Dishwasher.
8. Never Put any part of the Nutribullet system in the Microwave. It is not Microwave safe.
9. Never Blend carbonated drinks. Pressure can build up and the container can burst causing injuries.
My very first Nutrient Extraction with Nutribullet
I went to the grocery and bought a bunch of spinach, bananas, berries, and pineapple. I went to a local whole foods store to buy chia seeds and flax seeds.
Chia seeds are more expensive than flax seeds but fortunately you don't need a lot when making your drink.
Total money spent, was less than $30.
And I think it would last for 5-7 days. I then went home, cleaned the Nutribullet cups, and washed my fruits and vegetables.
Here's the Recipe when I first started with Nutribullet:
- 50% Greens (Spinach)
- half of banana
- A handful of blueberries and raspberries
- A slice of pineapple
- 1 Teaspoonful of Chia Seeds
- 1 Teaspoonful of Flax Seeds
- Added Water up to the Max Line.
I used the Tall Cup to prepare this drink. This was the recipe that I followed in the next 7 days. When I first started juicing, Spinach and Kale were the best vegetables to use because they don't have the strong, bitter taste of vegetables.
Time to prepare my drink = less than a minute.
Time to clean my Nutribullet system = less than a minute.
I was amazed because comparing to my previous Juicer, it's taking me a lot of time to prepare the equipment (cleaning blades) and then washing them again after using. If I don't clean my juicer properly, it will be an opportunity for bacteria to grow, and I don't want that.
How about the Taste of the Drink Made from NutriBullet?
It actually depends on your recipe.
If you've used Spinach or Kale, you'll barely taste them if you've mixed fruits and vegetables in a 50/50 percentage.You can also try adding some spices and herbs to try different tastes. I've tried adding strawberries and broccoli to some of my juicing recipes and they still taste great.
The sweetness of the fruits can mask the "brocolli" taste.
How about the Consistency and Fiber in the Drink?
This is maybe why I have dramatic effect in my metabolism and health. We all know that fiber serves as the "sweepers" and "cleaners" of our digestive tract. Eating fiber rich foods like "fruits and vegetables" can actually help improve our digestive system and help it absorb more nutrients.
I've felt that I have more energy (meaning more cells in my body are getting more nourished), and that I have regular bowel movements after using Nutribullet in just a few days. This can be attributed to the fact that I'm ingesting a lot of fiber.
And that is something that juicers can't do. When it comes to consistency, drinks made by Nutribullet contains "fiber" and that is why these drinks are called "smoothies". But not all vegetables can be turned into smoothies. One famous superfood, wheatgrass, should not be turned into a "smoothie".
We can "juice" wheatgrass and throw away the fiber because our stomachs are not designed to digest "wheatgrass". We can still get the nutrition from Wheatgrass when we juice them.
How much does the NutriBullet system Cost?
You'll see prices ranging from $89-$150 dollars plus tax depending on where you are located. You can check your local grocery store and check if they have stocks available.
You might want to call them first, because when I tried buying the Nutribullet system, the first store that I went to doesn't have any available stock. We had to drive another hour and a half just to get my own system. Ordering online is probably the best option.
It's convenient and it might cost you less. There are great deals on Nutribullet here and you might want to check them out first to save you time and money.
Frequently asked question about the NutriBullet System
Magic Bullet VS Nutri Bullet
They are not the same. Although they have the same "brand", bullet system, the Magic bullet system is cheaper and weaker than the Nutribullet system. I bought Magic Bullet before because the Nutribullet was out of stock. But unfortunately, it didn't turn out like the Nutribullet system.
I think the main reason, the Nutribullet was because of it's 600+ watts motors and it's "cyclonic" action which makes juicing and smoothing a lot faster.
Are There Recipes for the Nutribullet System?
Yes, there are tons of Recipes in the Nutribullet recipe book, I have listed the best recipes here. In fact, there's a complete 6 weeks transformation program that contains a complete diet plan for the next 6 weeks. The only challenge is to actually stick with the plan.
I didn't follow the plan strictly because I've tried other recipes as well. I've found out that the best way to get Nutribullet is to get it from Amazon (*you can get up to 25% discounts by clicking this link).
