A massive clean-up is under way in the United States after a chain of tornadoes swept through the Midwest and South, killing at least 36 people and destroying entire towns.
About 17 million people from Texas to Indiana to North Carolina were affected by the storm system that spawned at least 90 tornadoes on Friday and continued into the weekend.
Emergency crews were searching for survivors on Sunday in Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio and Alabama, officials said.
In parts of southern Georgia and northern Florida, the twisters brought heavy rain and high wind as far south as Orlando.
Homes were flattened, schools and business smashed and vehicles and trees tossed aside by Friday's storms.
Authorities said one small town in Indiana was "gone" after the disaster.
Town destroyed
The Indiana town of Marysville, near the border with Tennessee, was reported to be "gone", Major Chuck Adams, the sheriff's department spokesman, said.
Shelly Jones, a local official, said that houses were also missing near the unincorporated town of Chelsea in that state.
In Kentucky, at least 12 people were killed in tornado-related storms, the state department of public health said.
Four of those deaths were in Menifee County in the eastern half of the state, with a fifth in Kenton County, near
In southwestern Ohio, a 54-year-old man and a 64-year-old woman died in Clermont County.
Many of Friday's tornadoes were reported in Alabama's Madison county, with the weather service reporting "people trapped in rubble with injuries", houses destroyed, trees ripped from the ground and power lines down.
There was also damage to a maximum security prison but authorities say that none of the inmates escaped.
Elsewhere, in Indiana, officials in Clark County were scrambling to deal with widespread damage from the storm after roads were blocked by fallen trees and debris and power and phone lines were knocked out.
"I can't confirm any damage right there yet, we're just trying to concentrate on the more populated areas and we've been inundated with calls."
The high school in Henryville, a town almost entirely destroyed by the winds, suffered "quite a bit of damage" but luckily all the children were evacuated safely before the school's roof was ripped off.
Only minor injuries - some cuts and scrapes - were reported, Adams told the AFP news agency.
Power linked hit
After 11 high-voltage Tennessee Valley Authority transmission lines were knocked out in northern Alabama and southeastern Tennessee, about 57,000 customers of public power agencies in the TVA service area were without power on Friday evening in north Alabama, western Kentucky and southeast Tennessee, the power supplier said.
This year, the tornadoes seem to have come slightly early, with the mild winter creating the right conditions for cold fronts to collide with warmer air.
This latest outbreak of twisters comes as people were still picking through rubble left behind by a series of tornadoes which struck six states on Tuesday and Wednesday, killing at least 13 people.
Peak tornado season in the southern states is usually March to May, and in the northern states late spring to early summer.
About 545 people were killed during last year's tornado season, the deadliest on record since 1936 and the third-worst since records have been kept, according to the national weather service.

Q & A Library
Fish Oil for Bigger Brains?
Can you give me any information about a study showing that taking fish oil supplements can maintain brain volume and prevent Alzheimer's? How much fish oil do you need to take to get this effect?
Answer (Published 3/28/2014)
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients needed to maintain mental and physical health. We know that one of them, EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), supports heart health while the other one, DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is a constituent of membranes of nerve cells in the brain and is thought to play an important role in normal brain development and function. Research indicates omega-3s reduce inflammation, and may in turn help reduce the risk and symptoms of a variety of disorders influenced by inflammation, including heart attack, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, cancer and autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.

The study you refer to comes from the University of South Dakota. It examined the effect of omega-3 blood levels on brain volume in 1,111 older women who were enrolled in a nationwide memory study. We know that with increasing age the brain normally shrinks. The researchers wanted to know whether or not omega-3s affect that inevitable change. They first tested all the women for omega-3 levels in red blood cells. Then, eight years later, when the average age of the women was 78, they all had MRIs to measure brain volume. Results showed that the women who had high blood levels of omega-3s when they joined the study had larger total brain volume than women whose blood levels of omega-3s were low. The difference adds up to a one- to two-year delay in the normal loss of brain cells that comes with age, according to study author James Pottala, Ph.D. The MRIs also showed that the hippocampus, the area of the brain where information is temporarily stored before transfer to the cerebral cortex, was larger in the women whose omega-3 levels were high. With Alzheimer's disease, the hippocampus begins to shrink even before symptoms appear.
This study wasn't designed to determine whether or not consumption of omega-3s prevents Alzheimer's disease. And because it was observational, it doesn't necessarily prove that the higher omega-3 levels were responsible for the larger brain volume seen in some of the women. More research is needed to investigate the link, if any, and determine how much fish oil is needed to produce the kind of results seen in this study, the researchers said.
You can get omega-3s by eating oily, wild caught, cold water fish such as salmon, sardines, herring, sablefish (black cod), and mackerel two to three times a week. If you opt for fish oil supplements, look for products providing 700 to 1,000 mg of EPA and 200 to 500 mg of DHA in the smallest number of capsules. If you use liquid fish oil, find one that gives you these amounts in the fewest teaspoons. Pregnant women in particular should consider taking fish oil supplements because adequate supplies of omega-3s are crucial to optimal brain and nervous system development in the fetus. When choosing a supplement, look for one derived from molecularly distilled fish oils, which are more likely to contain adequate levels of both EPA and DHA and be free of contaminants.

Sound Shapes
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Sound Shapes is a downloadable platformer and music creation game available for both PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita. It includes a simple but powerful level creator that encourages players to tap into their creative side and design their own levels, which double as musical tracks. Players can then share their creations with the game's community. It has a small amount of violence in the form of spiked traps and glowing red enemies that can cause the player's blob to disappear, as well as a level that depicts some very cartoonish missiles and explosions in the background. Parents should also note that while this game never grows too difficult, it does employ an unusual system of movement that may prove a little frustrating for some kids, at least until they get a feel for it.

What's it about?
SOUND SHAPES is a quirky little platformer in which levels double as evolving musical tracks. Each level, comprised of a single screen, is filled with simple two-dimensional obstacles. The player's blob character can stick to light-colored objects, but not dark-colored ones. Touching red objects and creatures will cause your blob to disappear and reset at the most recent checkpoint. Sounds play as a sweeper bar tracks across the screen, touching music making objects. These sounds create a song that grows in depth and richness as players collect coins scattered across the environment, each of which adds a new noise to the constantly changing soundscape. As players work their way through multiple musical levels grouped together as albums, they unlock elements that they can use to create their own levels via a simple editing kit. Kids can then share their musical video game creations in a safe online community.
Is it any good?
Where many modern platformers pride themselves on their unforgiving difficulty, Sound Shapes offers an experience focused on fun, creativity, and music. Make no mistake; some levels demand a deft hand at the controller, and it takes a while to become comfortable with the game's unusual stick-to-certain-surfaces mechanic, which can prove a little aggravating at first. However, frequent checkpoints allow players to keep progressing at a steady pace. This allows kids to fully enjoy the game's great original music, and, eventually, create their own. The level editor is wonderfully easy to understand and use, letting players create playable levels with looping tunes in just a couple of minutes, then upload them for others to try as well. And with an almost limitless number of player-created levels available to download, this $15 PlayStation Network game is well worth picking up.

Upon opening the laptop i noticed a spot on the screen. the spot was small and in the bottom corner and it didnt prevent use. In class one day i opened it to use and my screen went from a small spot to what looks like a crack reaching all the way to the top middle of the screen. there are black splotches here and there and lines going everywhere. Looked at the warranty but there was nothing on it regarding the screen. Not too happy.

Pakistan debutants shine in win versus SA
By AP - CAPE TOWN
Published: 24th November 2013 11:09 PM
Last Updated: 24th November 2013 11:09 PM
Pakistan defended its meager 218-9 with help from outstanding debuts by Anwar Ali and Bilawal Bhatti to win the first one-day international against South Africa by 23 runs on Sunday.
South Africa was all out for 195 at Newlands and the tourists took an early lead in the three-game series.
Ali top scored with an unbeaten 43 and then snatched two wickets, including veteran Jacques Kallis for 50, as Pakistan held the South Africans at bay. Bhatti had 3-39 to wrap up victory.
Earlier, the pair shared a 74-run stand for the eighth wicket on their ODI debuts — with Bhatti making 39 — to rescue Pakistan from 131-7 at one point after it opted to bat first.

My wife and I are so happy we chose Dr. LaMothe as our sons pediatrician. He is very friendly, caring and keeps you informed every step of the way.
Dr. La Mothe was my son's pediatrician for 12 years until we moved away. He is an excellent pediatrician. He is very knowledgeable and personable.
Dr. LaMothe is educated, thorough, and very easy to talk to. He never rushes through his exams with our child, and address all of our concerns. He's the best.
I have had to wait a very long time when taking my kids to see Dr. La Mothe, which is my biggest complaint. One time we were seen 45 minutes after our original appointment time. That said, I really like him a lot. He has a very friendly demeanor and a great way with children. He obviously cares a lot about his work, and he is willing to take the time to explain things and answer questions once he does get into the exam room.

Celebrity couple Heidi Klum and Seal celebrated their fifth anniversary with a fifth wedding on the beach in Costa Careyes, Mexico, a source said.
The ceremony was followed by a reception with about 80 guests under an open-air hut decorated with white flowers and lit by dozens of chandeliers and thousands of candles, the source told People.
A karaoke party kicked off the celebratory weekend where Seal, 47, and Klum, 36, both sang.
Klum recently told Redbook the annual renewal of nuptials "is about remembering this moment of love we gave to each other and reinforcing it."
The couple have four children -- Leni, 6, Henry, 4, Johan, 3, and Lou, 7 months.

BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox are parading from the Green Monster to the Charles River on Saturday to celebrate a most improbable journey.
The "rolling rally" left Fenway Park three days after the team won the World Series with a 6-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 6 at its longtime home. It capped a stunning turnaround from 2012 when the Red Sox had their worst record in nearly half a century.
Players still sporting their beards, manager John Farrell, coaches and team officials boarded 25 amphibious "duck boats" on the warning track.
The vehicles paused when they reached the Boston Marathon finish line, still painted blue and yellow, where three spectators died in the bombings during the April 15 race.
Outfielder Jonny Gomes placed the World Series trophy on the line and he and catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia held Red Sox jerseys with the words "BOSTON STRONG" and the number 617, the city's area code.
Before leaving Fenway, Farrell recalled that the Red Sox had left after their game the day of the Marathon for Logan Airport for a road trip. Along the way, they saw emergency vehicles responding to the explosions.
"Knowing that we were heading out of town, that's going to bring back a lot, and a lot of uncertainty at that moment," Farrell said, "because no one knew where to turn next. So we were fortunate to be part of maybe a little bit of a healing process."
Second baseman Dustin Pedroia said: "We played for the whole city, what the city went through."
On a mild, mostly sunny day, the rally route included a ride in the Charles River between Boston and Cambridge.
Season-ticket holders were allowed into Fenway for a pre-rally ceremony at which team officials, Farrell and several players spoke. Then they all boarded the duck boats.
The departure was delayed when a flatbed truck carrying Dropkick Murphys, a band which had played at the ceremony, and heavy equipment became stuck in the turf along the first-base line.
A duck boat drove up in front of it and, with a tow rope between the vehicles, pulled the flatbed out of the ruts.

Melonie Cannonby Melonie Cannon
Daughter of the respected musician-songwriter-producer Buddy Cannon and a youthful veteran harmony singer, Melonie Cannon makes her solo debut with a thoughtful set of acoustic bluegrass and folk-styled songs that well serve her expressive alto voice and meditative approach. Backed by an all-star lineup of pickers -- including Union Station's Dan Tyminski, Rob Ickes, and Jerry Douglas -- Cannon offers tender and sometimes bittersweet reflections from the arc of a life's journey. "Tennessee Roads," co-written by Matraca Berg, is keyed by Tyminski's gently finger-picked guitar lines and Douglas's plaintive dobro fills as Cannon reports in from a homesick heart. The long wait for new love has rarely been depicted as plaintively as it is on "What Took You So Long," a sturdy waltz on which Cannon articulates equal measures of exasperation and elation, with Deanie Richardson's moaning fiddle lines adding a rustic touch. On the humorous ditty "Westbound Trains," Cannon wonders with engaging stupefaction why her man seems to avoid the train that would bring him back to her. Sounding like a traditional country number, the darker-hued "Whiskey Lullabye" tells the wrenching story of a pair of estranged lovers' alcohol-fueled suicides, a deliberate pace and Cannon's naked vocal accentuating the hurt in the tale. Here, Cannon sounds as if she has disconnected emotionally from the painful events in question, and this subtlety marks much of her work here. Her restraint and cool are bracing qualities that become more engaging with repeat listenings.

Melonie Cannon has a beautiful voice and we are purchasing her CD for friends! The words and music are excellent. We recommend the CD highly!
Playing Time – 36:24 -- The production of Melonie Cannon's acoustic county and bluegrass album is first rate. A singer of breathtaking ability, Melonie vocalizes with a soft touch of satin and silk. She sings with honesty and conviction in an unadulterated and soulful style. Her memorable songs are drawn from some top songwriters – Kim Fox, Ronnie Bowman, Buddy Cannon, John Scott Sherrill, Bill Anderson, Harley Allen, and others. She mixes up the set nicely. The sounds of this crossover fusion of bluegrass and country utilize standard acoustic instrumentation with percussion, with fiddle and dobro taking very central roles for breaks and fills. The folks who assume these key roles are top session musicians. Deanie Richardson or Stuart Duncan play fiddle. Rob Ickes, Jerry Douglas or Randy Kohrs are on dobro. Other string wizards featured here and there include Dan Tyminski, Ronnie Bowman, Jesse Cobb, Wyatt Rice, and Jeff White. Banjo played by Dave Talbot, Elmer Buchett or Robbie McCoury appears on four tracks. The central focus, however, is Melonie and her singing which evokes considerable confidence, faith and persuasion. Hailing from Tennessee, Melonie is the daughter of record producer Buddy Cannon. Raised in the wings of the Grand Ole Opry, Melonie mingled as a young girl with the Olympians of country music in a city known as "The Athens of the South." She sang at her first recording session (with Dean Dillon) at age 14. A few years later, she sang a duet with Sammy Kershaw on "Cry, Cry Darlin'." After a stint in the U.S. Army where she learned respect for not only herself but also for others, Melonie returned to Nashville and befriended Ronnie Bowman. Her lead vocals for this album were cut live with the band, without any separate overdubbing. After Ricky Skaggs heard some of Melonie's singing on WSM-AM radio, he asked her to be on his record label. Skaggs also invited her to open for him at the Ryman Auditorium. Melonie Cannon is proud of the reception she's received in Nashville, also called "The Dimple of the Universe" because of the beauty of the city's rolling hills, pleasant seasons, and long, white picket-fences, and farms with horses and cattle. Melonie and her beautiful singing are two more reasons for Nashville's special place in the Universe. (Joe Ross, staff writer, Bluegrass Now)
Growing up as the daughter of Music Row producer Buddy Cannon, Melonie Cannon's had the chance to hear everyone from country legends like Porter Waggoner and Vern Gosdin to contemporary artists like Kenny Chesney. As a background and demo singer she's had the opportunity to forge friendships with the likes of Chely Wright and Shania Twain. So it's not surprising that her debut album draws from both ends of the spectrum, offering acoustic arrangements that verge on bluegrass, but with melodies and lyrics that have modern edges. Her alto harbors the piercing tone of Jo Dee Messina and Deana Carter, but with the down-home delivery of Alison Krauss. It's an appealing combination that is at once old-timey and contemporary. ¶ Even more impressive than the band put together by producer Ronnie Bowman (including Dan Tyminski, Jerry Douglas, and other bluegrass luminaries) is that Cannon cut her vocals live, without overdubs. That may not be so unusual in bluegrass circles, but it's a fair distance from how must vocalists make records in Nashville. The result is an intimate connection between Cannon and her assembled band that leverages the exhilaration of live performance; again, not unusual for bluegrass, but a rare commodity on Nashville country records. ¶ Label head Ricky Skaggs found Cannon's music a bit hard to classify, laying somewhere between bluegrass and commercial country. But he knew, as listeners will, that it's exactly the ephemeral nature of this middle ground that makes this album so fascinating. Cannon can flat-out sing, and surrounded by stellar picking and multipart harmonies, the ballads and mid-tempo numbers she's assembled from the pens of Bill Anderson, Matraca Berg and others serve her beautifully on this accomplished debut.

The perfect meal for a lazy evening. The whole family enjoyed this. I made with homemade chile, about a cup of colby/jack cheese and 2 cans of beef tamales. I topped the casserole with spicy Doritos. This would be great with corn mixed in with the chili too. I think I'll try a cornbread type topping next time - and there will be a next time. Thanks for sharing!

Inhibition of Kupffer cell functions as an explanation for the hepatoprotective properties of silibinin
The flavonoid silibinin, the main compound extracted from the milk thistle Silybum marianum, displays hepatoprotective properties in acute and chronic liver injury. To further elucidate the mechanisms by which it acts, we studied the effects of silibinin on different functions of isolated rat Kupffer cells, namely the formation of superoxide anion radical (0), nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF- α), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), and leukotriene B4 (LTB4). Production of 0 and NO were inhibited in a dose-dependent manner, with an 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) value around 80 μmol/L. No effect on TNF-α formation was detected. Opposite effects were found on the cyclooxygenase and 5-lipoxygenase pathway of arachidonic acid metabolism. Whereas no influence on PGE2 formation was observed with silibinin concentrations up to 100 μmol/L, a strong inhibitory effect on LTB4 formation became evident. The IC50- value for inhibiting the formation of this eicosanoid was determined to be 15 μmol/L silibinin. The strong inhibition of LTB4, formation by silibinin was confirmed in experiments with phagocytic cells isolated from human liver.
Hence, while rather high concentrations of silibinin are necessary to diminish free radical formation by activated Kupffer cells, significant inhibition of the 5-lipoxy-genase pathway already occurs at silibinin concentrations which are achieved in vivo. Selective inhibition of leukotriene formation by Kupffer cells can at least partly account for the hepatoprotective properties of silibinin.

Olympics To Create Thousands of IT Jobs
Written by Geoff Newman on 21/03/2011
New figures suggest that some 5,000 IT and telecoms jobs are to be created through the 2012 Olympics in London and jobs in Kent.
According to an IT recruitment specialist, IT professionals will be needed for a diverse set of roles arising from the Olympics, including the installation of cyber security measures and providing the IT and telecoms networks for the international media coverage of the Games.
WiFi coverage will need to be extended and there is also a major initiative to extend internet access on the London Underground before the Games. Emergency service lines also need to be secured in time for the Games to kick off in August next year, which is another job for IT and telecoms specialists.
The average salary for the 5,000 jobs will be an estimated £48,562, with the jobs generating total earnings of £250 million a year.
Currently, five per cent of the UK's workforce - which totals some 29 million people - works in the IT industry. Overall, taking into account all industries and job types, the government estimates that the Olympics will create 103,000 permanent jobs for people all over the UK.
Geoff Newman who works for flat free recruiter Recruitment Genius recognises the importance of the Olypmics.
"Despite a £20m contract for recruitment agency Adecco, most of the jobs have been filled for free using PR and the JobCentre. Even those not directly linked to the Olympics are getting ready, such as Travellodge who are currently recruiting and upskilling their workers. With such high unemployment the Olympics could not have come at a better time.

There wasn't anything for them to watch in tv and when I paid €18 for the movies for the day it didn't even work. People staying next door seemed to be having a party one..."

Blackout periods are designed to prevent trading in a company's securities by insiders when they are most likely to possess material non-public information. The quarterly blackout period limits trading to times when the market is best informed about the company's financial performance.A blackout period should end only after information has been publicly released and the securities markets have the opportunity to fully absorb the information. This is typically referred to as "public dissemination."
On July 1, 2013, Innodata had not yet released the very disappointing 2Q results which subsequently took the stock down to a new 52 week low. The level of performance was indeed material. But on July 1, the CEO certainly had access to the 2Q results; yet he still disposed of 37,819 shares. How is this by any stretch of the imagination NOT insider trading?
i welcome all discussion and comments.
What exactly does "disposed" mean? Did the Y! Insider Transactions page not tell you? You think because it gave a share price and value it means he sold or "pocketed" $121,020?
It really stinks when someone knows more than you about something, doesn't it?
You are not open to discussion - you are open to hearing anyone who wants to agree with you.
You did not review the SEC Form 4. You have no idea what you are talking about.
You are so foolish it's laughable. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
No shares were sold.

The line for Star Wars is incredible. Starts on 55th and 7th. Winds around 55th to 6th Avenue. Goes down 56th. Self can't even.
Lucky for the faithful standing in line, it is a warm night in New York City.
Do you know that you can have a lamb falafel doused with yogurt and spicy sauce for only $7? And it will fill you up as much (if not more) as a fancy meal at wherever?
Also, sidewalk vendors sell cans of soda and ginger ale for $1 apiece. In the hotels, that same can of soda will cost you $3.
Sting is singing at Carnegie Hall. Average price for a ticket: $200.
A homeless woman walks into an Upper West Side Nail Salon and demands a pedicure (How does self know she isn't just jumping to conclusions? How does self know that the woman is really homeless? Well, right. Self really doesn't know. Just because the woman's pushing a filthy shopping cart! She could be the Queen of Park Avenue for all self knows!) Self's heart drops in empathy for the nail technician who's been selected to perform this onerous task.
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

About that jacket: it's become a habit with self that the day after she arrives in London, she proceeds straight to Cambridge to visit her friend Dodo.
As usual, she left California in a flurry and didn't bring a jacket. She arrived in Cambridge to rain. Dodo made her buy one because the plan was to go punting on the River Cam. And as anyone who has seen a punt can tell you, you are completely exposed to the elements.
The jacket has become indispensable. As indispensable as the sneakers.

Self learns today that ROY G. BIV stands for the following colors:
- Red
- Orange
- Yellow
- Green
- Blue
- Indigo
- Violet
This week's WordPress Photo Challenge involves sharing "an image that contains all the colors of the rainbow."
Quite Easily Done!
Self has currently been partaking of the glories of the United Kingdom. Naturally, she's been taking photos like crazy. London and Dublin are extremely colorful places.
A few days ago, self was invited by her friend, poet Joan McGavin, to participate in a demonstration for action on climate change. The gathering took place near Lambeth Bridge on Wednesday, 17 June 2015. Self noticed a young woman wearing the most beautiful jacket. She asked where the woman had bought her jacket. The response: Camden Market. It only cost 20 pounds.
And finally, a shot from the day self spent in Cambridge, visiting ex-classmate Dodo Duterte Stanley:

Self so loves this week's WordPress Photo Challenge: MINIMALIST.
Here are a couple more photographs that self thinks relate to that theme ("Sometimes the simplest photographs make the boldest statements.")
From Beijing Pie House in Monterey Park: silken tofu with century egg in a light soy sauce, garnished with green onions
Blaze Pizza in Pasadena: Doggie "Box"
Another from Blaze Pizza. Would you believe, two toppings, including sales tax = $8.34 ????
One can eat very cheaply, VERY WELL, in southern California. If one knows where to look.

Perspective: WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge

Is it just self, or are the WordPress Weekly Photo Challenges becoming increasingly — challenging?
This week's theme is PERSPECTIVE:
Post a photo which is not what it seems to be.
(Oh. Self doesn't think her photos are anything other than what they seem to be: shots of a flower market)
But she's not going to change her post now! Not after she spent so much time choosing the pictures!
Self thinks it's the use of wide angle on her teensy Nikon Coolpix that makes all the difference: she can move up close, but still get so much peripheral detail into a shot. And in places like the ones she's been to in the Philippines, the frame is just jammed with detail.
She likes to show people, too. Not posing for the cameras, just getting on with it — work, their daily lives, whatever.
Self went looking for a wreath of flesh flowers she could lay in front of her Dear Departed Dad's grave.
Here are three other WordPress blogs whose interpretation of this week's theme, Perspective, self found particularly thought-provoking:
- from Broken Light: A Photography Collective: Knockout photo. Self can't. She can't even.
- from Till All Are Fun: All Things Transformers: Low Shots and Close-Ups of Plastic Toys
The absolute fun of toy photography — and why I got into it in the first place — is that creativity with perspective is a must. Somehow, you have to make 1″ to 6″ plastic plastic men look like giants.
- from Nola Roots, Texas Heart: Look at the second photo. It is so poignant, especially after reading the accompanying quote, from Harper Lee.
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.
The Sugar Central at Barangay Dos Hermanas: First Farmers, Founded 1964
October 11, 2013 at 10:39 am (Conversations, Places, Traveling)
Tags: Bacolod, bargains, discoveries, Fridays, photography, restaurants, The Philippines, travel
Today self did not expect to actually enter a sugar central. But, having secured a taxi, she decided to test her adventurous spirit — to the max.
Do you know where First Famers is, she asked the driver.
Yes, ma'am! quoth he with alacrity.
Then take me there!
After haggling over his fee (He'd never ever had to take anyone to a sugar central before), we were off! But first we passed the Talisay ukay-ukay (open-air market), and self hit on a REALLY GOOD STRATEGY: she made the taxi driver walk around with her, and when she wanted to buy something, she would hand the clothes to him and tell him to make tawad (haggle). Obviously, this was a very good strategy, for she was able to secure a pair of rubber tsinelas (still in the wrapping, with very pristine soles) for 30 pesos (69 US cents). Later, when she is back in her room (at the moment, she is availing of the free and extremely fast wi-fi in Café Uma) she will take a picture.
Anyhoo, at the entrance to First Farmers, self and the taxi were stopped at the gate by two extremely serious-looking security guards. They simply would not believe self was a Villanueva. Especially because she had arrived in a taxi. A taxi from Bacolod. Driven by a man who looked extremely tetch-y. She had to whip out her Stanford Alumni Membership Card (She could have shown them her California drivers license, but that would have revealed her age. Self, you are soooo vain!)
The guards immediately got on the phone and she had to wait in the taxi for almost half an hour. She asked who the manager was, and they said it was "something something Montinola." Montinola! Self immediately thought of her Assumption classmate, Gianna Montinola, and said: "Let me talk to him. He's probably the brother of my dearest good friend since kindergarten, Ms. Gianna Montinola." Further blah blah blah on the phone. Finally, they waved us through. The driver, let self tell ya, was completely completely unmanned and wanted to go straight back to Bacolod, but self threatened not to pay him.
So, there was self, pulling up to the Assistant Manager's Office. Of all things, they insisted she be escorted around by someone, who turned out to be the Assistant Manager himself. They gave her a hard hat to wear (blue). As self looks extremely ugly in a hard hat, she refused to have her picture taken. But here are a few of the pictures she did end up taking:
There's so much more, but self will need to rest now.
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.
1st Friday of the Month: Talisay
October 4, 2013 at 4:58 am (Food and Drink, Philippine History, Places, Recommended)
Tags: Bacolod, bargains, Fridays, Philippines, travel
After visiting the Church, self went to the market. The ukay-ukay here is tremendous. She bought three tailored cotton shirts for a grand total of 75 pesos (just under $2). She tried them on: perfect fit! Then she took the jeep back to Bacolod (Only one transfer: each leg was 8 pesos, for a total of 16 pesos, about 35 US cents). If only self had had the courage to take pictures while riding in the jeepney! Incredible: more and more people kept coming in, and self was squashed right between two schoolboys. She was balancing her stash of five shirts from the hukay-hukay, and 1 kilo of lanzones (2.2 lbs, and she probably overpaid, judging from the way the lanzones vendor broke out into a big, toothless smile when self handed over her payment. But the lanzones were huge, and very sweet.)
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.
Bacolod 2013: National Bookstore, SM Citi, Reclamation Area
September 24, 2013 at 11:21 pm (Books, Family, Places)
Tags: Bacolod, bargains, discoveries, Filipino writers, The Philippines
The mall rests on reclaimed land, just beyond the main plaza and San Sebastian Cathedral. Yesterday was the first chance she had, since arriving, to see the blue walls of La Consolacion College, the old church, the plaza, the flower arrangers. She made the taxi driver stop, got down, and selected a huge standing bouquet of white lilies, foxgloves, and red anthurium. She'll take it to Bacolod Memorial Park this morning, to put in front of the graves of her Dear Departed Grandfather and Dear Departed Dad.
And then she went to the Mall. Destination: National Bookstore, to see if they carried copies of some of her books.
She's been there before, she knows where the Filipino Authors section is. 2nd Floor, in a corner.
She was gratified to see a group of young students, crowding this section.
Hopeful sign!
The books these young people were reading were thin little paperbacks, identical in size. All had white spines. Wonder what those could be, self wondered, edging closer.
These thin little buggers (little more than pamphlets) covered floor to ceiling of two book sections. There didn't seem to be any other types of books: No books by Jessica Zafra, by Charlson Ong, by Butch Dalisay, by Dean Alfar, by Simeon Dumdum or Marne Kilates. So, what were these books?
They were "chick lit", homegrown. Novels of about 50 pages, knocked out fast on newsprint. Self is so gratified by this evidence that young people are still reading. She wanted to take pictures of the shelves but couldn't manage to squeeze in between students. So instead she continued wandering around the store and selected a few of the more interesting books, books such as:
Self came away with two blank journals. Journals are pretty expensive in the United States, but one of the journals she bought yesterday looks very similar to the Moleskin sketchbooks that sell there for $12 – $15, and all she paid for the journals were 159 pesos each (Just under $4).
Stay tuned for further peregrinations.
Nostalgic (Already) 4 Summer 2013
July 11, 2013 at 3:52 am (Links, postaday, Recommended, Writing)
Tags: bargains, concerts, Events, inspirations, memories, nostalgia, postaday, postaweek, summer, Wordpress
Concert # 4 in Stafford Park was today.
These concerts are held every Wednesday, throughout the summer.
The music this evening was Country.
Self, standing next to The Man, both of us chowing down hot dog with dill, felt already a kind of creeping nostalgia for this summer. We are almost halfway through July! How did we get here?
Quick where does one send a story about a castle? Self wrote one this morning. Big surprise!
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

Welcome to the European Centre for Social Welfare Policy and Research
The European Centre is a UN-affiliated intergovernmental organization concerned with all aspects of social welfare policy and research. Executive Director is Kai Leichsenring.
New Policy Brief: Juggling family and work - Leaves from work to care informally
In response to a greater need to conciliate care and work for those with sick, disabled or frail family members, some countries in Europe have put regulations in place that allow employees to provide and/or organize care for family members while remaining attached to their workplace. The objectives of this Policy Brief are twofold. Firstly, it aims to draw some lessons for the design of care leave policies, based on an in-depth analysis and international comparison of 22 different care leave regulations in six different countries. Secondly, the regulations are evaluated in view of their success, particularly in terms of take-up rate. Read more
Letter of intent solemnly signed with the Macedonian Minister of Labour and Social Policy
On 25 August 2016, a Macedonian delegation headed by Mr Dime Spasov, Minister of Labour and Social Policy, visited the European Centre. Minister Spasov declared serious interest of Macedonia in cooperating with the European Centre in the area of social policy and research and signed a Letter of Intent to underline mutually agreed strategies in the context of the bridging function. At this occasion, Mr. Aleksandar Georgievski, Head of Department for European Integration and International Cooperation at the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy, was nominated as new National Liaison Official (NLO). We wish to express our special thanks to the Austrian Social Attaché, Mr. Harald Fugger (Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs and Consumer Protection), for his support in organising this visit.
The Gender and Social Class Inequalities in Active Ageing project completed
The publication of the report Gender and Social Class Inequalities in Active Ageing: Theory meets Policy marks the completion of our project on bringing inequalities in the active ageing discourse, funded by the Swedish Ministry of Health and Social Affairs. The report, authored by Stefania Ilinca, Ricardo Rodrigues, Andrea Schmidt and Eszter Zolyomi, highlights a series of remaining gaps between different income and gender groups among older European cohorts and their impact on an individuals potential to actively age. We propose a framework for the analysis of inequalities in active ageing, and rely on a series of 27 internationally comparable indicators and four European case studies to exemplify. The full report and the executive summary are available here.

Social Innovation as a chance for ageing societies?
Whether its caring for older people, taking care of refugees or educating children: Social innovation has become a buzzword and has become indispensable in any application for public funding. But what is social innovation about? Is social innovation more than hollow words? Gudrun Bauer addresses the question Is social innovation a chance to overcome the challenges of an ageing society? in the now published volume "Neu! Besser! Billiger! Soziale Innovation als leeres Versprechen?" ('New! Better! Cheaper! Social Innovation as empty words?') edited in German by Katharina Meichenitsch, Michaela Neumayr and Martin Schenk. Contact: Gudrun Bauer
Study on persons not covered by health insurance in Austria
In a project funded by the Umbrella Organisation of the Austrian Social Insurance Institutions (Hauptverband der österreichischen Sozialversicherungsträger), Michael Fuchs, Katarina Hollan and Martin Schenk (Diakonie Österreich) will analyse the extent, socio-demographic characteristics, causes and coping strategies of persons not covered by health insurance in Austria. For the project both quantitative and qualitative methods will be used. A former study on the topic was carried out in 2002/03 please view the Summary.
Additional countries entered into the Memorandum of Understanding
In order to improve European cohesion and to contribute to the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the European Centre has established further cooperation with Eastern European countries. Following the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Serbian Ministry of Labour, Employment, Veteran and Social Affairs, another MoU was now signed with the Ukrainian Ministry of Social Affairs and Labour. Other countries' ministries are soon to follow, including Albania, Azerbaijan, Kosovo and Macedonia. In its Bridge building function with Eastern European countries the European Centre provides governments, international institutions, research institutes and civil society organizations with relevant know-how and advice for establishing or improving structures in the area of social welfare policies, based on expertise drawn from the European Centre's empirical and comparative cross-national research.
Martin Kahanec: The Myths and Veracities of the European Migration Challenge
Europe has been going through multiple challenges, including aging populations, skill shortages, economic recession and financial crisis, and the current migration crisis. The ensuing complexities have confused many key actors, including the general public and voters, as to their perspectives on the role of labor mobility for European societies and economies. In this International Seminar Martin Kahanec will shed light on some of the key questions asked in the migration debate: Do migrants take our jobs and welfare? Are they grease or sand in the wheels of European economies? And how many migrants come due to the magnetism of welfare provisions in receiving countries? Read more
Presentation at the Conference of the European Association of Health Economics
Ricardo Rodrigues presented findings from ongoing research with Stefania Ilinca and Andrea Schmidt on equity in long-term care in Europe at the Conference of the European Association of Health Economics, in Hamburg on 15 July. The presentation titled Measures of economic status and equity effects in the use of long-term care in Europe: ranking by income versus wealth, showed that using wealth (e.g. house ownership) over income may impact on the analysis of equity in the use of different types of long-term care by older people in Europe. The presentation is available on request from the author.
New Project: Study on the Social Dimension of the EU
The Austrian Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs and Consumer Protection has commissioned the European Centre to identify key thematic areas that could be underpinned by benchmarking processes if further policy convergence took place to strengthen the social dimension of the EU. The study will suggest potential indicators for benchmarking and will discuss their pros and cons as well as potential accompanying measures by mutual learning from good practice. A final report will be delivered by the end of November 2016. Contact: Anette Scoppetta
More than 1000 participants at the International Conference for Integrated Care
The 16th Conference of the research community focusing on issues of integrated care took place from 23 to 25 May in Barcelona. While still a decade ago this community gathered a small number of experts only, this year there were more than 1,000 delegates, underlining the huge and growing interest in Integrated Care and the exchange of experiences across the globe. Kai Leichsenring was among the more than 90 speakers and presented results of the European Centres recent study on Integrated Care, Choice and Competition. During the conference he also gave an interview to outline the European Centres expertise and long-standing engagement related to the range of issues in integrating health and social care. Contact: Kai Leichsenring.
First Memorandum of Understanding signed by Serbia
On 2 June, Dr. Nenad Ivanisevic, Secretary of State for International Affairs in the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Veterans Affairs of the Republic of Serbia signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the European Centre for Social Welfare Policy and Research, represented by its Executive Director Kai Leichsenring. This agreement has been a result of the new Bridge-building focus of the European Centre in close cooperation with the Austrian Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs and Consumer Protection. While similar activities are under way in a number of pre-accession countries in Eastern Europe, this was the first official document signed to underline the intention of both parties to collaborate more systematically in all areas of social welfare policy, in particular with a view to knowledge exchange and mutually-agreed research and development projects. In this context we also welcome Ms Anja Javor, Ministry of Labour, Employment and Veterans Affairs, as the new National Liaison Official for Serbia. Contact: Kai Leichsenring
