Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Answer: Lemongrass is easy to grow from seed, but if you find some at the grocery or specialty store, choose a stalk with a few roots still attached and you can put that in water and root it there to be transplanted into the garden later. I actually saw some Lemongrass starts at the garden center this spring, so hopefully in the near future, Lemongrass starts will be more widely available everywhere. Lemongrass prefers a sandy-type soil, but likes the soil evenly moist, so a good layer of mulch is a must for this plant. A bog type situation also works well for Lemongrass.
Lemongrass is not frost-hardy, so in the colder climates it should be dug and potted to be grown indoors in a sunny window for the winter. Use it in chicken and seafood dishes, curries, casseroles, soups, and stews. Ground stalks can be added directly to dishes. It can be frozen, dried, or used fresh.
You can purchase seeds from Henry Fields (www.henryfields.com) or from organic supermarkets.

Miles for Mike raises funds, awareness
SHADYSIDE – Hundreds participated in the second Miles for Mike 5K Run/Walk, which was held this past Saturday as part of Shadyside's Sixth Annual Loop Festival.
The race was held in honor of Mike Karkowski, a veteran of the war in Afghanistan who committed suicide in 2009 while suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). His widow, Melissa Karkowski, organized the race as a way to raise money for others afflicted by PTSD.
The first race, which was held last October, raised $2,000 for PTSD-oriented charities. Saturday's race managed to double that total, with over $4,000 raised. The money will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project and K-9s for Warriors.
"It was an amazing day," said Karkowski. "It far surpassed anything we thought would happen."
Top finishers were awarded with dog tags. Karkowski received assurance from many participants that they would return for next year's race, which will again be held during the Loop Festival.
Before the race, a memorial balloon release was held. Attendees were able to write the names of people they know or knew suffering from PTSD on the balloons.
Karkowski shared a few remarkable stories from the event. Several members of the Ohio Valley Runners and Walkers, who had already participated in a morning race elsewhere, showed up to give support for the cause.
Dr. Tim Bowman, of Ohio Valley Medical Center, gave a speech regarding PTSD before the race. One individual, after realizing he suffers from PTSD, chose to participate in the run. He was unprepared and ran in work boots. Karkowski gave him a set of dog tags for coming forward.
Karkowski also said an emotional moment produced tears from many onlookers. Garson Taylor crossed the finish line wearing full turnout gear in honor of Dave Green, a firefighter who was also a veteran of the war in Iraq. Green committed suicide last year while suffering from PTSD.
Karkowski herself was able to run the race thanks to a recent shape-up. As a cast member of ABC's "Extreme Weight Loss," Karkowski began working to lose a dramatic amount of weight last year. She will appear in an episode of the show airing July 1 at 8 p.m. Many area residents who participated in the October Miles for Mike may also see themselves onscreen, as the first run was filmed for a segment of the show. A community viewing for the episode is currently being organized, and details will be announced at a later date.

We were looking for an apartment close to the Gilbert Historic District. We feel very fortunate to have found Cambria, not only close, but meets our other needs. Moving from the Midwest, we appreciate living in the inner courtyard with a canopy of trees overhead and green grass to walk on! Our apartment layout is perfect for us and to accommodate guests.
The complex is clean and neat with lots of trees and shrubbery. The office staff is friendly and helpful. Maintenance is quick to respond to requests, big and small.
The grounds are so well maintained, the leading staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Love this complex!
The apartment itself is beautiful, more like a home or condo than an apartment. Great Location. Friendly management team and maintenance team.
Polite, responsive office and maintenance staff. Overall the residents are screened well at time of application to avoid any bad eggs in the neighborhood. Overall, the neighbors are quiet, and it is a nice community to be a part of. Maintenance staff works well with residents. Pools are kept clean. Buildings themselves are built well... hardly ever hear neighbors beside or above/below!
What is a Certified Resident?
A resident who lives at the property and has completed a resident satisfaction survey.
Advertising properties provide a list of email addresses of its residents to Kingsley Associates, a third party market research firm, who then sends out the satisfaction survey to the residents. Properties may also conduct satisfaction surveys of its residents through other third party market research firms. In those cases, we will publish those survey responses as long as the questions conform to our standard survey format.
Because reviews are from Certified Residents, and are managed by a third party, you can feel confident that the feedback provided is accurate and trustworthy.
General Directions
From US 60, exit South on Gilbert, continue to Guadalupe, turn right (west) and we are directly on your right.

Why Israel's Mikveh Bill Is About More Than How Orthodox Women Immerse
This has been a tough week for women in Israel. While the Knesset was debating how much power the rabbinate should have over women immersing in the ritual bath, or mikveh, Women of the Wall Executive Director Leslie Sachs was being arrested at the Western Wall for carrying a Torah.
Can 30 Women in Israel's Parliament Make a Difference?
Miri Regev, Tamar Zandberg, Ayelet Shaked, Stav Shaffir. There are a number of women who serve in the Knesset today, and a few are even cabinet ministers. In addition to achieving political prominence, they have also had a taste of the pleasures of sexism: Regev is a "vulgar Mizrahi," Zandberg is a "leftist in a tank top," Shaked is a "icy beauty," Shaffir is a "mischievous redheaded girl," and there are many, many more examples of such comments.
28 Women Elected to Knesset in Record
Ayelet Shaked of the Jewish Home Party is one of 28 women elected to the Knesset./Flash90
Women for the Wall Takes On Women of the Wall
Women of the Wall has in recent months attracted lots of press and public support, from Members of Knesset to rabbis and laypeople, particularly since police stepped up arresting women leading Rosh Chodesh services at the Kotel. Women of the Wall then ramped up its own efforts to illustrate that current policy there — which prohibits women from praying wearing tallit or tefillin or with a Torah scroll — is discriminatory. Now there is an additional party to the conflict: a new group called Women for the Wall.
New Feminist Knesset
The minute I saw that new MK Merav Michaeli's inaugural (some call it "maiden," but I prefer "inaugural") speech to the Knesset on Wednesday had gone online, I immediately remembered a Sisterhood post I wrote prior to the recent Israeli elections about Ha'aretz political writer Yossi Verter's sexism.

Exports up, imports down: StatsCan says trade deficit reduced in October
A farmer puts down a crop fertilizer on his field in Warkworth, Ont., in this undated handout photo. (Wendy Deavitt / THE CANADIAN PRESS)
The Canadian Press
Published Tuesday, December 11, 2012 9:58AM EST
OTTAWA -- Statistics Canada says the country's merchandise trade deficit shrank to $169 million in October, a big improvement over the September figure when the deficit was $1 billion.
Exports rose one per cent to $38.1 billion with farm, fishing and intermediate food products leading the gains.
Declines in exports were led by metal ores and non-metallic minerals.
Meanwhile, Statistics Canada says imports fell 1.2 per cent to $38.3 billion and were down 5.7 per cent from the record high of $40.6 billion reached in June.
Imports from the United States rose 1.6 per cent to $24.6 billion and exports edged down 0.2 per cent to $27.4 billion, cutting the trade surplus with the United States to $2.8 billion from $3.2 billion in September.
Imports from countries other than the United States fell 5.8 per cent to $13.7 billion and exports rose 4.2 per cent to $10.7 billion, reducing the trade deficit with those countries to $2.9 billion from $4.2 billion in September.

Episode 223: Jonathan Watkins
December 6, 2009 · Print This Article
This week, another in the series of interviews Duncan and Christian did at the Banff Centre while they were on art vacation, Jonathan Watkins!
Jonathan Watkins (born 1957) is an English curator, and is currently Director of the Ikon Gallery in Birmingham. Watkins emigrated to Australia with his family in 1969 and studied Philosophy and History of Art at the University of Sydney, where he later taught. He was curator of the Chisenhale Gallery in London during which period this relatively small local gallery became an internationally known centre of excellence – many of the Artists shown at that time later going on to major acclaim including a number of Turner Prize winners, Watkins later moved to the Serpentine Gallery from 1995 to 1997 and worked in a freelance capacity as curator of the Biennale of Sydney in 1998. Watkins now lives in Birmingham, England. He currently directs the Ikon Gallery, and recently unveiled plans for a new museum of modern art in Birmingham. [Read more]

Episode 221: Heartland
November 22, 2009 · Print This Article
This week Duncan talks to Charles Esche, Director of the Van Abbemuseum, Kerstin Niemann, Research Curator at the Van Abbemuseum, and Stephanie Smith, Director of Collections and Exhibitions and Curator of Contemporary Art at the Smart Museum of Art about the current Smart Museum exhibition, Heartland.
Project Background
In 2007 and 2008, the Heartland curators, eschewing traditional research methods, set out on a series of old-fashioned road trips through the vast center of the United States. These research trips informed two distinct exhibitions. The first presentation, which opened in October 2008 at the Van Abbemuseum in the Netherlands, sought to uncover new ways of thinking about the American interior during the U.S. presidential election and gave European audiences access to a broad survey of the Heartland's culture, art, and music. The second, reconceived presentation at the Smart Museum, offers U.S. audiences a more focused look at the ideals of resourcefulness and invention that permeate the Heartland. Together, the two presentations offer a richly layered reading of a region that has too often been overlooked.
The exhibition is co-organized by the Smart Museum of Art and the Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, the Netherlands. The Van Abbemuseum's presentation of Heartland took place from October 3, 2008 to February 8, 2009. In Eindhoven, the project consisted of a group exhibition in the Van Abbemuseum together with a musical program in the Muziekcentrum Frits Philips. [Read more]
Episode 220: Liam Gillick

Liam Gillick. That is right, the man whose imagination can take him anywhere. A transparent master of the question of Modernity? Cat lover? Designer/author/theorist/artist/architect? The son Donald Judd never wanted? Enigma cloaked in riddle? Relational Aesthetic celebrity? All these things and more… We at Bad at Sports try and get to the bottom of Liam's magic in this hour-long interview.
The last element in Liam Gillick's 4 part global retrospective, "Three perspectives and a short scenario" will run through January 10th at Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art.
Accompanying that exhibition, Gillick has produced "The one hundred and sixty-third floor: Liam Gillick Curates the Collection," which is also be on view.
Liam Gillick emerged in the early 1990s as part of a re-energized British art scene, producing a sophisticated body of work ranging from his signature "platform" sculptures — architectural structures made of aluminum and colored Plexiglas that facilitate or complicate social interaction — to wall paintings, text sculptures, and published texts that reflect on the increasing gap between utopian idealism and the actualities of the world.
His work joins that of generational peers such as Rirkrit Tiravanija and Philippe Parreno in defining what critic Nicholas Bourriaud described as "relational aesthetics," an approach that emphasizes the shifting social role and function of art at the turn of the millennium. Gillick's work has had a profound impact on a contemporary understanding of how art and architecture influence, and are themselves influenced by, interpersonal communication and interactions in the public sphere.
This exhibition is presented in association with the Witte de With in Rotterdam, Kunsthalle Zurich, and the Kunstverein in Munich. It is the most significant and comprehensive exhibition of Gillick's work in an American museum to date, comprising a major site-specific installation in the gallery ceiling as well as a presentation of his design and published works, and a film documenting projects from the entirety of his career. The MCA is the only American venue for the exhibition. [Read more]
Episode 219: Jeremy Deller and Esam Pasha
November 9, 2009 · Print This Article
Jeremy Deller. That's right, this week we have one of the world's most interesting contemporary artists talking about "What It Is," a show and tour he has worked on, that appeared at The Hammer, the New Museum and now, Chicago's MCA, featuring a car that was bombed-out during the Iraq war. He is joined by artist Esam Pasha to talk about "What It Is"
Deller's work often challenges our assumptions about what "is" and "is not" art and uses the banner term "art" to gain access to, extend, push, and develop local cultures. Deller is also the first Turner Prize-winner to appear in the 230 hours of the Bad at Sports show.

I go to TOMMYS about 3-5 times a week. I don't cook much. This little restaurant on Wurzbach has caught my attention for about a year. The food is great and the service has changed and everyone is so CHEERful. If you go in sit on the right side (near the front) of the restaurant the waitress that takes care of those tables is just GREAT! The food reminds me of home-cooked meals from my mom and grandma.
Great Portions, Little Price.

This invention relates to log-periodic antennas, and more particularly to an improved log-periodic monopole antenna array.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,286,268 discloses a log-periodic monopole antenna with active elements spaced above a ground plane and with parasitic log-periodic elements interspersed between the active elements. The active and parasitic elements may be formed on opposite sides of a dielectric PC board by printed circuit techniques and the parasitic elements, through an integral grounding strip, are connected to ground as by soldering or the like. In applications requiring a ground plane structure made of aluminum or the like, soldering cannot be used for this purpose and instead, according to prior art practice, a two-piece aluminum ground structure clamped to opposite sides of the PC board has been employed. Fasteners such as screws extend through ground structure flanges and the PC board transversely of the latter and cause the flanges to tightly squeeze against the parasitic element strip and produce a good electrical and mechanical bond.
The above clamping practice is effective with a single monopole antenna but cannot be used in an array of such antennas in which the spacing between adjacent antennas is severely limited. This is especially true of such antennas designed to operate at microwave frequencies where the lateral spacing between adjacent antennas at the high frequency end of the array may be 6 mm or less.
This invention is directed toward a solution to this problem.
A general object of the invention is the provision of a log-periodic monopole antenna array having parasitic elements and means for grounding such elements to a non-solderable ground structure.
Another object is the provision for such grounding for an antenna array that operates at microwave frequencies.
These and other objects of the invention are achieved with a grounding technique for each antenna of an array consisting of an elongated groove in the top surface of the ground structure for receiving the parasitic element portion of the antenna, a clamping block disposed coextensively in the groove, and screw means threadedly engaging the ground structure in a direction transverse to the top surface of the structure and abutting the block, the groove, block and/or screw means being shaped so as to force the block transversely of the groove when compressed therein and to tightly clamp the parasitic element portion against the ground structure.
FIGS. 1 and 2 are schematic and partial isometric views, respectively, of a prior art log-periodic monopole antenna.
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary top plan view of one embodiment of the invention using PC board antenna construction.
FIG. 4 is an enlarged transverse section taken on line 4--4 of FIG. 3.
FIGS. 5 and 6 are side views of the antenna taken along lines 5--5 and 6--6, respectively, of FIG. 3.
FIG. 7 is an enlarged view of a portion of FIG. 4 showing details of the taper-headed screw.
FIG. 8 is a view similar to FIG. 7 showing an alternate form of screw head configuration.
FIG. 9 is a view similar to FIG. 4 showing a modified form of the invention.
FIG. 10 is a simplified perspective schematic partially-exploded view of an antenna array embodying the invention, part of the antenna structure being omitted for clarity of illustration.
FIG. 11 is a view similar to FIG. 10 with a conically-shaped ground surface.
Referring now to the drawings, FIG. 1 shows the construction of a prior art log-periodic monopole antenna 10 comprising active (radiating or receiving) elements 11 in a vertical plane as shown connected to feed line 12, and parasitic elements 13 connected to ground 14, depicted as a plane, interspersed between active elements 11 and in substantially the same vertical plane. Broken lines 11', 12' and 13' represent the images, respectively, of elements 11, line 12 and elements 13. Details on the construction and operation of this antenna are set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 3,286,268.
One prior art form of construction of antenna 10 is shown in FIG. 2 and comprises a dieletric PC board 16 with parasitic elements 13 on one side and active elements 11 on the other, the latter shown in dotted lines, like reference characters indicating like parts on the drawings. Feed line 12 is spaced above the lower edge 16' of PC board 16 while parasitic elements 13 extend to edge 16'. A ground plane structure 17 comprises parts 18 and 19 having opposed flanges 20 and 21, respectively, between which PC board is tightly clamped by screws 22 extending through flanges 20 and 21 transversely of board 16. Top surfaces 18' and 19' of parts 18 and 19, respectively, are flat and coplanar and together constitute the ground plane of the antenna. This clamping technique insures not only a secure mechanical connection between structure 17 and PC board 16 but also effects a good electrical connection between parasitic elements 13 and structure 17. In applications having minimum weight requirements, ground plane structure 17 preferably is composed of aluminum or the like to which solder connections cannot be made and hence a clamp-type electrical connection is employed. The disadvantage of the type of construction shown in FIG. 2 is that it cannot be used with high frequency, including microwave, log-periodic monopole arrays because of the close spacing of antennas, especially at the high frequency end of the array.
Referring to FIGS. 3-6, inclusive, and FIG. 10 in which like parts on the drawings are indicated by like reference characters, one embodiment of this invention comprises a unitary ground stucture 24 having a plane top surface 25 with a plurailty of elongated grooves 26 formed therein corresponding to the number of antennas, respectively, in the array. Each groove 26 is defined by side surfaces 27 and 28 and a bottom surface 29. PC board 16 has active antenna elements 11 and feed line 12 therefor formed on one side with feed line 12 spaced above top surface 25, and parasitic elements 13 formed on the opposite side of board 16. Board 16 is sufficiently thick to be self-supporting and yet is thin enough that elements 11 and 13 are substantially in the same plane electrically.
Parasitic elements 13 are electrically interconnected at one end by a longitudinally continuous conductive strip 31 preferably adjacent to the lower edge 16' of board 16 as shown. As elongated block 32 having top surface 33, bottom surface 34 and side surfaces 35 and 36 fits into each groove 26 with top surface 33 substantially flush with surface 25 of ground structure 24. PC board 16 is disposed with its lower edge 16' bottomed in groove 26 between block 32 and side surface 27 of the groove and with parasitic elements strip 32 against side surface 35 of block 32. Opposite side surface 36 of block 32 and adjacent side surface 28 of groove 26 are equally tapered inwardly toward the opposite side 27 of the groove as shown. When block 32 and PC board 16 are disposed in groove 26 as shown, bottom surface 34 of block 32 is spaced slightly from bottom surface 29 of groove 26. Screws 37 fastened to ground structure 17 transversely of its top surface 25 engage block 32, forcing the latter downwardly into groove 26 and laterally against board 16 of tapered abutting surfaces 28 and 35.
Each screw 37 has a head 38 with a tapered side 39, see also FIG. 7, which engages the top edge of block 32. Alternatively, a screw 40, see FIG. 8 with a cylindrical head 41 may be used to accomplish the same result. Thus with tapered sided block 32, a high degree of lateral force is applied against PC board 16, insuring good electrical contact between parasitic element strip 31 and ground structure 17.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 wherein block 32 abuts against parasitic element strip 31, block 32 is composed of an electrically conductive material such as steel. It will be understood, however, that block 32 may be composed of an electrically nonconducting material if the positions of active elements 11 and parasitic elements 13 on the sides of board 16 are reversed wherein strip 31 abuts against side surface 27 of groove 26.
Another embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 9 in which active elements 11 and parasitic elements 13 (together with strip 31) are fabricated by etching same from thin but self-supporting brass sheets. Elements 11 are supported directly on and laterally spaced from parasitic elements 13 by dielectric fasteners 42. FIG. 9 also shows another form of block 43 having parallel sides 44 and 45, the tapered-screws 37 developing sufficient lateral forces against block 43 to cause the latter to tightly squeeze strip 31 against ground structure 17.
FIG. 10 shows an array of three log-periodic structures of parasitic elements 13' and strips 31' having a construction as shown in FIG. 9, the active antenna elements having been omitted for the sake of clarity of illustration. The antennas (three as shown) of the array converge from left to right as illustrated toward the feed point so that the lateral spacing between adjacent arrays reduces to a minimum. For arrays operating in the microwave frequencies, this minimum spacing may be in the order of 6 mm. In order to further accommodate such close spacing of adjacent arrays, blocks 32 may also be longitudinally tapered, as shown, or otherwise gradually reduced in width toward the feed (right as viewed) end of the array.
While the invention is practiced with advantage in conjunction with a ground structure having a plane top surface, the invention is not limited to such a structure. FIG. 11 illustrates an embodiment of the invention with a log-periodic antenna array 46 having a ground structure 47 with a conically shaped top surface 48, the other aspects of construction being essentially the same as described above.
While the invention has been described with reference to its preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention. In addition, many modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation or material to the teaching of the invention without departing from its essential teachings. For example, the parasitic elements 13 may be permanently bonded to the side of block 32 to form a unitary structure without departing from the principle of the invention.

S. L. Lewis Incorporated was founded in 3017 by Senior Warrant Officer Samuel Lewis. Warrant Officer Lewis' crew found a cache of Lostech, and he claimed a supply of small Omni 25 fusion engines as his share.[1] Lewis then spent the next few years perfecting a new scout hovercraft for the LCAF. The Savannah Master became a popular design with both the LCAF and the AFFS.[1]
The supply of 2,000 Omni 25 fusion engines Samuel Lewis had recovered from the LosTech cache wasn't enough to meet the demand for vehicles generated by the Fourth Succession War, and in 3035 Lewis sought interest from Fusion Engine manufacturers across the Lyran Commonwealth willing to attempt to reverse-engineer the Omni 25. Lewis gave away the last ten Omni 25 engines he owned to help drive interest in this project, and in 3037 Edasich Motors had been able to produce a new production-standard compatible engine, the Edasich Omni 25. The S. L. Lewis Inc. lines were retooled to accept the Edasich Omni 25, and full vehicle production recommenced. As a result, S. L. Lewis would sell thousands of vehicles between 3037 and the end of the FedCom Civil War.[2]
With the popularity of the Savannah Master line, S.L. Lewis Inc. expanded its facilities into engine production to ensure a steady supply of engines. They also expanded into the civilian market, producing a Fuel Cell powered hovercar.[1]
During the Jihad the facility on Carlisle suffered no losses of capital and personnel, and has a full production volume of 100% in 3079.[3]
The CEO of S.L. Lewis Incorporated in 3067 was Sam Lewis, Jr. He expanded the company's offerings into commercial hovercraft and hydrofoils that use the Savannah Master's engine.[1]

They're curious about that cool game, song, movie, camping trip, art show, or other event that fascinated you. You talk about all kinds of stuff, poetry, styles, personal achievements, relationships, and bad days. You can share your inner child, and laugh together. They sympathetically listen to your feelings about serious topics like politics or climate change, even when they don't agree.
Personal validation comes from paying attention to one another, giving more than you get. Everyone respects you and themselves, despite our amazing range of personal tastes and interests. They'll tell you they don't agree with an idea or behavior without implying you're a bad person or somehow deficient. It's an "I'm OK, You're OK" kind of fellowship, where nobody tries to make himself look better by picking on somebody else.
Nobody here is into mind games. A discussion started with a loaded guilt-throwing question will be deleted.
This group is not intended to compete with other groups on topics they cover but to "fill in the cracks." Whenever a discussion dwells at length on a topic for which there's an existing group, we urge you to provide members a link to that group to continue along their tangent.
A comment is a shout-out, which will get lost in a few days, because the comment wall is just a random stack.
Please start a discussion to share stories, photos, and videos. Replies will pop up in your "latest activity" and a conversation can develop from the feelings and thoughts you contributed. Groups are built on discussions.

re: Destructive Trees...Liquid Amber
They have very shallow roots, and if they are near a sidewalk or patio, they push the concrete up at the joins, and trip people. Their seed pods are big and prickly, too.
My friend Sue had one planted in her parkway by the City of Los Angeles. (Parkways and sidewalks are City property). When it did become dangerous, and she wanted it removed, the City told her SHE had to pay for it! Where is the logic in that?
She finally got fed up and did pay to have it cut down, and the root system dug up. The City "very generously" put in a new level sidewalk.
A long time ago we had Catalina Cherry trees in the parkways in our neighborhood. They were always messy; the "cherries" were inedible, mostly seed (about the size of the large marbles gamers use to "shoot" smaller marbles out of the circle), attracted wasps and other stinging insects. Feh. They finally developed big galls and started looking raggedy all over, so THIS city removed them, and gave us a choice of replacement trees or no trees.
I am SO glad I live in Beautiful Downtown Burbank, even if they finally did let Walphart open a store here this year. (We've been fighting that sleazy, money-grubbing outfit for ages.)
Not everyone in here is a grandparent, and I'M not even a parent (at least not a "people parent"), but this is so sweet I just had to post it for everyone:

Join Us in Singapore
The Asia-Pacific market continues to be one of significant growth and influence, but is also burdened with the complexities and challenges that can often outpace even the most mature businesses operating within the region. Now in its fourth year, the Asia Ethics Summit offers leading executives from the APAC business community a unique opportunity to connect in the interest of inspiring corporate integrity, ethical culture, and honored compliance practices. This pivotal event will introduce conversations across seasoned C-suite leaders, General Counsels, Chief Compliance Officers, global professional service firms, and more reputable professionals. Join us and your peers on the 6th of December in the spirit of connecting leaders and raising the profile of the latest concerns for company leaders, including: anti-bribery and AML, data privacy, M&A pitfalls, corporate governance and board engagement, company values and more.
Expert Discussion and Conversation
- December 6, 2016
- Sessions
OPENING KEYNOTE | Corporate Governance and the Challenges of Global Board Engagement9:10 am – 10:05 am
Good corporate governance is essential for any company to experience sustained success and the proper duty of care the company owes both internal and external stakeholders. The board of directors and senior management are largely responsible for this function, but governance has taken on a tremendous array of increased oversight and function. Boards are increasingly looking for more data-driven metrics to drive the dialogue to add more substance to conversations around compliance and ethics. What are the best practices to achieve this in light of the constant and shifting challenges companies are facing in the complex global business environment? This session will highlight effective communication strategies, emerging governance practices, and the ways in which leaders can support the board and executive management in order to raise the profile of corporate integrity worldwide.
SESSION 1 | The Rising Risk Profile in APAC: Emerging Anti-Corruption and Bribery Concerns10:05 am – 11:00 am
Companies operating in APAC face a unique challenge in managing corruption risk in the region. This challenge begins with the varying risk profile of countries in the region. Japan and Singapore, for example, are developed nations perceived to be two of the least corrupt countries in the world, juxtaposed against newcomers to the global marketplace such as Myanmar where the perceived corruption risk is much higher, but companies are eager to make foreign investment. In the middle are rising economic powerhouses, like China and Indonesia, with moderate perceived corruption risk, but where multinational companies still struggle to navigate the myriad of ways that corruption occurs. Compounding the challenge is the changing regulatory landscape in the region, where local anti-corruption laws are not always in sync with (and may contradict in some instances) the more robust laws to which many multinational companies operating in the region are more attuned to, including the FCPA and UKBA. Finally, add to this diversity of cultural and social norms across the region and that many parts of the region are remote, making it difficult to know what's really going on in the operations that creates risk. This panel will explore the latest region-specific corruption risks, schemes and misconduct, as well as the implications of continuing enforcement from regulators and organizations around the world on the need to continue to meet high standards in anti-corruption compliance.
SESSION 2 | Data Transfers and Growing Compliance Concerns Over Privacy11:20 am – 12:15 pm
There is arguably no greater moving target than how cross-border data and privacy concerns are being addressed. With data as often the number one corporate asset, never has it been more important for business leads and compliance to take a unified and sophisticated approach to how data must be managed and protected, and monitoring the appropriate amount of control. Companies are grappling to get up-to-speed and implement robust controls in a business environment that is wrought with data transfer and cyber threats that can expose sensitive information. While CPOs and CISOs may have primary responsibility, the compliance function has an increasingly important role. This seasoned panel of data and privacy experts will share best practices and perspective on the new privacy landscape and what companies are doing now and preparing for in the future.
SESSION 3 | M&A Pitfalls in APAC: Why Compliance is Essential to the Deal1:30 pm – 2:25 pm
2015 was a record year for M&A transactions. However, as companies look to M&A for substantial growth in key markets, including throughout APAC, concerns are also on the rise for how susceptible both the buyer and the target are to risk that can make the deal and subsequent integration vulnerable. Data suggests that companies are still not advanced enough in their due diligence approach, and one of the most glaring issues is that compliance is not involved to the extent that it should be so pitfalls can be avoided. This panel will discuss best practices to mitigate the M&A risk through an adherence to ethics & compliance considerations, as well as explore how companies need to calibrate the business goals and the myriad of challenges where compliance executives are in a unique position to address.
SESSION 4 | Internal Compliance Advocacy: The Key Relationships to Elevate the Integrity Message Inside the Company2:25 pm – 3:20 pm
Compliance is no longer serving only as a gatekeeper or risk assessor. It has evolved into a much more multi-dimensional role, and one that needs to smartly align with other areas of the business to serve broader strategy and ensure business performance is optimized responsibly. Whether partnering with HR to ensure that ethics is amplified through clear messaging, or taking the conversation to the next level serving on audit or other board committees, compliance needs to be viewed as a business enabler, not an obstacle. Hear from a panel that will share experience, lessons and advice on the shifting role of compliance and enhancing that position within the company.
SESSION 5 | Sounding the AML Alarm: Concerns for the Financial Sector and Beyond3:40 pm – 4:35 pm
Allegations of fraud often start with just the tip of the iceberg before details emerge that reveals widespread failures and corporate misdeeds. It is not just Malaysia and Singapore that are rigorously investigating. Government enforcement bodies around the globe continue to probe and identify sources of wrongdoing beyond APAC. Regardless of how the dust will settle from the scandal, it is clear how widespread AML issues can cripple not just the company at the center of the scandal, but all it touches. With this comes hard lessons for companies in any industry, not just the financial sector. What are the optimal AML controls the company should have in place? Is the risk assessment properly calibrated to address AML key stakeholders and third parties? What investigatory steps should you be taking now, and how do you need to respond to government probes? This panel will address the latest developments and AML best practices any compliance team from any industry needs to know.
CLOSING KEYNOTE | C-suite on Culture: Embedding Ethics and Values Throughout the Company4:35 pm – 5:30 pm
Executive leadership from distinct industries and respected companies discuss the impact of core values on business behavior, address the missteps companies can take when putting profits before people and discuss how action, not just tone, at the top can truly inspire and unite a culture of integrity.

Mizuira[1] is a girl from Ohara. She is Nico Robin's cousin and the daughter of Roji and Oran.
Mizuira was a little girl with a large smile. She had light colored, curly hair with bows in it.
Very little is known about her personality, but it is evident that she was not close to her cousin Robin as she did not complain when her mother refused to bring the girl along for the family dinner.
Her parents took her out to dinner for her birthday. Roji wanted it to be a private affair so they did not bring Robin along with them. She is assumed to have died after the escape ship was blown up by Vice Admiral Sakazuki.

LIBREVILLE, Gabon — Gabon's top opposition candidate Jean Ping declared Friday that he was the rightful winner of the presidential election, accusing the country's incumbent leader of using fraud to cling to power.
The move sets the stage for a protracted dispute over the election, as President Ali Bongo Ondimba also has declared victory.
On Friday, Ping called for the release of results from individual polling stations. Results released by election officials showed Bongo won by a mere 1.57 percentage points.
"The whole world knows today who is the president of the Republic of Gabon. It's me, Jean Ping," he told reporters.
"Each time the Gabonese people have chosen their president, the dark forces are always gathered to place he who was not chosen as head of state. Together we have decided that this time things however will be different."
Bongo's father had ruled the oil-rich country since the 1960s until his death in 2009 when his son then came to power.
Ping's supporters already have taken to the streets in protest, and at least three people have been killed in the unrest. On Friday, Ping said citizens had "strongly demonstrated their legitimate anger."
The U.S. Embassy in Libreville said in a statement on its website Tuesday that Gabon's voters were not "well served by the many systemic flaws and irregularities that we witnessed," including the late opening of polling stations and "last minute changes to voting procedures." The embassy said the government should publish results by polling station.
European Union observers have criticized a "lack of transparency" on the part of institutions organizing the vote.

According to Sensible Washington, a grassroots organization that promotes legalization, 52 percent of the state's population is in favor of legalizing marijuana. Washington would be one of the first states to decriminalize marijuana.
If the drug becomes legal, some wonder if Washington will risk losing much needed federal funding, as the drug will remain illegal under federal law. On April 15, Gov. Chris Gregoire announced she wouldn't sign any legislation allowing the operation of licensed medical marijuana dispensaries. She made the announcement after receiving notice from the Department of Justice that doing so would result in the federal government seeking out expansive legal action on marijuana operations in Washington.
Some universities in the 15 states that have also legalized licensed medical use of the drug (with permission from a physician) have released statements making it clear the substance is still prohibited on campuses.
Steve Hager, editor of High Times Magazines, recently joined retired Drug Enforcement Administration agent and activist Bob Stutman on Western's campus for the "Heads vs. Feds" debate over whether marijuana should be legalized.
If schools allowed marijuana on their campuses, Hager said they would lose federal funding in a heartbeat. Byron Starkey, vice president for Governmental Affairs, said only Washington state would be able to make the decision to restrict funding to the university. The federal government would have to limit funds to the state in other ways, he said.
"I would be shocked if the federal government restricted funds from Western," Starkey said. "Other areas in the federal budget would have more impact on the state."
In 1984, the passing of the National Minimum Drinking Age Act made 21 the legal drinking age in the United States. The Federal Aid Highway Act was also created restricting a percentage of annual federal funds for states' highway repair to states such as Idaho, who refused to raise their drinking age from 18-years-old. Starkey said this historical instance is an example of how the federal prohibition of marijuana could still be upheld in the state.
Even if marijuana were to be legalized in Washington, students in possession of the substance would still risk federal prosecution because federal law always trumps state law.
