After reading through http://tw.forumosa.com/t/air-quality-an-open-letter/88387/19 I was asking myself what I personally do or could do to improve the world we are living in.
Let's come up with some ideas and try them out
Here are 10 things that everyone can try without much effort, and perhaps a little bit of adjustment.
Off the top of my balding head:
In general, save energy. Less energy used = less energy needs to be produced = less firing of coal and other fossil fuels = cleaner air.
Save energy by not using an air-con during the hot months. It can be tough, I sweat all summer long, but it can be done. Without the neighbors running their air coolers 24h it would be easier. But I remind myself that having no air con running myself means that others who really need the cool air can turn it down a notch; so this is a bit like taking one for the team.
Sleep early. I try to go to bed at 10pm nowadays. Used to be way past 12. Two hours less light, computer, TV power consumption. Small steps. Sleeping early and getting up early the next day is actually good for your body. More energy, in your body. Great.
Take cold showers. I tried it many times. Starting each summer I tried to keep doing it through the fall. Failed many times. This time, no warm showers since July. So proud. It actually is easy and enjoyable, addictive perhaps. Once you get over the hump and your body is used to the cold attacks (it's actually easy in Taiwan; can't wait to try with 5 degree C water in a colder country) each day, you don't look back. Once you do cold, you'll never get old. Or something along those lines. Energy saved? You bet. Water saved? Of course. Less time waiting for the warm water to finally come through the shower head, no keeping the water running through the soaping and shampooing, no gas consumed, less time using the bathroom lights. And it's sooo good for your body, immune system and all.
Take public transport or ride a bike. I don't ride my motor scooter much anymore, only sometimes to get food from the hypermarket, that's it. Much more enjoyable to take the bus or MRT. Less dealing with exhaust fumes and annoying idiots. Occasionally I ride a YouBike, but I don't like the idea of breathing more heavily during rush hours.
No more apples from Cali. Read a book about modern food production and trade. Holy… The perversions of the food industries are countless. Food trade has its place in the world, but I don't see the need to buy apples from giant food producers, heavily dosed with chemicals and supported by tons of fertilizers, shipped around the globe, anymore. Can't be good. The energy needed to grow these crops is immense. Let's support local producers of fruit and vegetables, preferably organic farms and shop owners who try to save the planet. Of course it costs more!
Less to no meat. I have the occasional chicken and fish, but that's it. The perversions of the meat industry are even worse than the rest of the food producers.
No more plastic bags. I have a shopping bag with me most of the time and will use it whenever I buy something where a plastic bag is not needed.
No more throw-away coffee cups. If you buy your latte everyday around the corner, bring your own mug. Easy done. Even saves you a little bit of money.
No more cigs. Twenty years ago I read the book "The Easy Way to Stop Smoking" by Allan Carr. A classic and one of the best books I got my hands on during college. After that, one final cigarette and that filthy chapter of my life was closed. Cigarette smoking is one of the worst things you can do if you are concerned about pollution, environment, health, big corporation, the end of the planet. Zero benefit from that. 100% negative impact on yourself and the world around you. And it makes you feel so much better once you have left that ill cycle of self-torturing-pretending-to-be-cool-but-in-your-heart-you-know-this-is-shit-but-you can't-stop-it-so-you-need-to-pretend-you-enjoy-it.
Just a short list of ideas. If you have any good ideas, I will add them here:
(Kowtow) Refrain from incense burning at temples.
(ranlee) Split up your garbage from recyclables
Don't buy cheap plastic things you'll likely throw away soon.
I'm with you on most of those except for:
No. 2: Summers in Taiwan with no aircon? I might as well kill myself, which of course would be a huge energy saver. Seriously, it would be easier to just move somewhere with a cooler climate, unless you're a serious masochist. My current workaround is spending most of the summer in California, which is great, except for the serious carbon footprint of a long international flight.
No. 5. I try to take public transportation when it's the most convenient way to get from point A to point B, but a lot of the time it isn't, so there's no way I'm giving up my scooter. Besides, a well-maintained reasonably late model 4-stroke scooter puts out a minimal amount of pollution. I'm all for immediately eliminating all the remaining 2-strokes on the roads, but that's not going to fly with a government so afraid of getting its ass chewed by the public.
No.7 would be my focus. Eating just veggie at least twice a week and keeping it moderate consumption rest of week. The amount of energy and water let alone land used for rearing cows is massive, and they produce significant amounts of greenhouse gases.
I visit my fair share of temples around the country and 99% of the time I just use my hand to pray without using any incense.
Getting rid of the incense burning at Xingtian temple was a great step.
@hannes this is an awesome and great follow up
I do some of the things that you've mentioned, but it will be tough for me to let go of the scooter. I hope that my 150km+ weekly cycling goal makes up for all my scooter commuting.
I'll add:
Couldn't agree more with that.
I also can't understand why many people in my building are just too lazy to separate the trash that is meant for recycling, when it's made really easy. They will just throw it in front of the garbage containers used to separate the waste (we have paper, PET bottles and plastic, styrofoam, glass, and light bulbs containers). Then the poor cleaning lady, or the guys from Tzuchi sift through the junk. Everyone should be more considerate, so easy to put things where they belong.
Not to derail the thread too much but the sad part is that a lot of the stuff you have carefully sorted is burned or dumped.
PlasticI believe a large part of the plastics are incinerated anyway as it has no economic value and recycled plastic has few uses in reality as its properties are unpredictable.
GlassI heard it's also hard to recycle effectively and more expensive than just making new glass
PaperPaper coffee cups and biandang boxes all have plastic coatings are often contaminated with food waste. I doubt more than a few % are recycled. Only one company can process paper coffee cups in Taiwan and they claim that they just process a small percentage of total. https://m.facebook.com/chiahui.hsing/posts/1186691608058685
Will try and dig out some real stats as to what happens to this stuff in Taiwan.It seems very hard to find if one reads the Facebook post above.
Vast majority of waste by volume is probably incinerated.Best to try and avoid using these so called recyclable products or at least use the hell out of what you have or use your own flasks, carrier bags etc.
Caveat- Taiwan at least has a great head start on places such as Singapore. A lot of food waste is recycled, that could be a good thing depending on your perspective.
10 posts were split to a new topic: From: What can I do against pollution? Share your Ideas!
Which brings me to the next thing to do/not to do to save the planet.
You make a good point and interesting article. Looking forward to your follow up.
I sometimes try to recycle too much. I know at the end of the day, some of it won't actually be recycled, like the lunch boxes that are all oily and have small pieces of food left over on it.
However, as I see it, I throw 10 items into the bin and maybe 5 of them will be recycled. As opposed to the dude next to me who throws all his items into the garbage in which he's 0 for 0.
The borderline cases confuse me - I'm not sure what I should do with them. I bought a "nicely" packaged pair of whisky bottles yesterday, and as soon as I got home, on the counter I had a cardboard box with the front panel plastic laminate, and one of those annoying inflexible plastic inserts that was holding things in place and potentially slashing my fingers as I tried to pry stuff out of it. All shit that I don't want and I suspect can't be recycled. They went in recycling anyway, but I'm not sure if they should have. (There aren't any laws here about stores being required to take back excess packaging, are there?) Ditto lunch boxes - I wash them and put them in recycling, but with that laminate, I don't know if they can be recycled.
The issue of recycling or using reusable utensils is complicated by sanitation concerns.
I would LIKE to use the provided chopsticks and utensils in restaurants but frankly their handling of utensils in a country where hepatitis virus is rampant is appallingly bad.
It's a horrible thing to dump your ignorance onto the recycling ah bei and ah yi, but I think it's best to just let them handle it.
My mother did some volunteer work for Tzu Chi at their recycling center and kept telling me to buy less bottles from convenience stores because the caps need to be manually separated from the bottles and sometimes, different colors means different materials or just...same material, but blue cap needs to be in the blue pile and so on and so forth.
I do try my best to buy larger bottles drinks or when I go out cycling, the group normally buys the largest bottle of water or we stop at police stations to refill our water bottles.
Those of us on scooters. Kill the engine at those long red lights (60 secs or more). For extra brownie points kill the engine before you even hit the lights and coast in. Also make sure your beast is running clean, change the oil as soon as its needed.
Yeah, regular maintenance is the key, and something a lot of people don't seem to do.
Ooh, which leads to my next tip. Shame anyone at the lights with white smoke belching out their back pipe. Its such an easy fix. Even an oil filter every 5 years isn't difficult.
The squid scooters definitely need to be dealt with. They give all the other scooter boys a bad name.
I'm all for killing the engine at long lights, but is it safe?
I'm thinking, In terms of having to move away if there was some kind of emergency or something in that nature.
So long as your ignition system's working it doesn't really slow you down.
Iirc the government of Singapore encourages couples to save water by showering together. Has Taiwan ever had a conversation about this?

Julianne Moore attended the 'Still Alice' premiere during the 2014 Hamptons International Film Festival on Monday (October 13) in East Hampton, New York.
From the ankles up it was all black, and I'm delighted that I find myself intrigued and not bored by the look.
I mean, what's not to love? The Balenciaga top featuring artful bell-shaped sleeves was paired with a Christopher Kane skirt accented with a delicate lace hemline.
While I would've liked a contrasting clutch, her Proenza Schouler black number gives this easy, elegant look an edge, as do the Reed Krakoff pumps in a contrasting snakeskin hue.

Einstein worked for months on E = MC
But it wasn't quite right – he knew there was something more, something missing. Do you ever feel like you are on the brink of something…that there is an epiphany just out of reach, that you start thinking a certain way, but there's something more just hovering on the outskirts of your consciousness waiting to be discovered?
Sometimes giving yourself the space – the time, energy or silence to contemplate is important to finding that elusive part of the equation. In today's society we're all so rushed, so busy, so switched on and distracted by what's happening outside of our thoughts. But finding some moments to contemplate the world within is important to answer elusive questions, ideas or future plans. To understand what drives us, where our passions lie, where we want to go with this one precious life. To be alone with our thoughts, mull over ideas that are gently brewing in the back recesses of our minds. The switch off, check out and enjoy some stillness to allow the pieces to fall into place.
To ruminate – to thoughtfully chew over something. It's one of my favourite words. Llamas ruminate. They spend the early part of the day busily eating, heads down, hoovering up grass as quickly as they can, getting their fill. Then as the afternoon wears on, they stop, sit in the sun or under the shade of a tree and chew their cud. They ruminate. Busy, busy, busy and then time to sit, ponder, regurgitate and relax. They sit in silence, watch the world go by and finish their meal slowly. They are still. A study on antelope on the savannah a couple of years ago showed that their brain waves change when they ruminate, from ultra alert to meditative, sleep-like waves. Who knew that antelope, llamas and cows could meditate?!
As always, nature is an excellent teacher. So take a leaf out of the llama handbook. When you open yourself up to gazing within, you never know what you might discover.
E = MC doesn't do anything, until Einstein discovered the Square. A little tweak, a tiny addition to the equation and BOOM – everything changes. A huge breakthrough. A complete change in how people view things. And, in some cases, a huge explosion of energy.
Find some stillness and find your Square.

Rachel Jenteal told a jury in Florida on Wednesday that the black 17-year-old complained during his final call that he was being followed by George Zimmerman, whom he described as "creepy".
Mr Zimmerman, 29 and white-Hispanic, is charged with murdering Trayvon in February 2012 inside a gated community in Sanford, Florida, which the teenager was visiting with his father.
Miss Jenteal told the court she heard Trayvon ask Mr Zimmerman "what are you following me for?", adding: "Then I heard a hard-breathed man come and say 'what are you doing around here?'." Having "just told him to run", she heard the headset used by Trayvon to speak on his mobile phone fall to the ground, before hearing her friend shout: "Get off! Get off!", she said.
Mr Zimmerman, who had called the police out of a suspicion that Trayvon might have been a burglar, denies murder and claims that he shot the teenager in self-defence after being violently attacked.
The defendant claims that it is he who can be heard crying for help in the background of a 911 call rather than Trayvon, as is claimed by state prosecutors.
The sluggish police response to the killing of the 17-year-old, who was returning from a shop carrying only a bag of Skittles and a can of fruit juice, prompted protests and claims of racism last year.
Miss Jenteal came under sharp cross-examination from Mr Zimmerman's lawyers after admitting that she had previously lied under oath about why she had not gone to Trayvon's funeral.
On Wednesday she told the court that she had pretended to be in hospital, when in fact she did not want to see his parents because she "felt guilty" after being the last person to speak to their son.
Mr Zimmerman faces up to life in prison if convicted. The trial, which is expected to last about three weeks, continues.

You ever had a really bad break up? And I dont mean bad in the sense that there was a lot of screaming and throwing things and wishing each other dead. I mean bad in the sense that it ripped your heart out. That it sent you into a tailspin and left you entirely unprepared to cope with reality.
If your answers no, then Id like to extend a hearty smack in the face on behalf of the other 99 of the population. If your answer is no, AND youre a Patriots fan, then take a second and think back to Super Bowl XLII.
Think about 18-1. David Tyree. Asante Samuel. That ridiculous red sweatshirt. Think about what it was like in the days and weeks after the Pats lost what would have been one of the most monumental games in NFL history.
Got it?
Thats the feeling.
Youre one of us now. You passed the test.
A lot happens when we find ourselves reeling from that kind of emotional sucker punch. We hurt a lot. We learn a lot. We find ways to persevere, and eventually move on.
But as part of the healing process, in celebration of finally seeing the light, theres a pledge that many of us make to ourselves:
Let's never feel this way again.
Its probably not the healthiest way to go about life. But whatever, it comes with the territory. The bottom line is that anyones whos been through a horrible break up never wants to feel that way again. Theyll do anything they can to prevent it.
Which brings us to Super Bowl XLVI.
I get the sense that most Patriots fans have spent the last seven months trying to pretend that Indianapolis never happened. I know I have. And I know that has a lot to do with 2007.
Why? Because it's impossible to deal with the emotions and ramifications of last year's loss without eventually finding yourself back in Arizona. It's impossible. It's all connected. And no one wants to go back down that road.
But at some point, we'll have to.
A friend e-mailed me this morning with two photos of Wes Welker. I'm not sure why he felt like ruining day, but what can you do? The first photo shows Welker in the air with the ball in his hands. And let me emphasize: The ball was not just touching his hands. It was IN his hands. The second photo shows Welker falling to the ground with his arms failing at a ball that's now barely out of reach. If it's been a while since you ate lunch, you can check out the photos here.
My buddy wrote: "This affects me in a weird way, like I kinda want to cry. All that hard work for 8 months, the legacies of Welker and Brady, comes down to that. I have this creepy feeling that Brady wont win another, its just so hard, you need a lot of things to go your way and last season they got lucky to be there and were so close."
And I think that pretty much sums it up.
First of all, the drop. Or if you don't want to call it a drop, let's put it this way: "A Tom Brady pass to a wide open Wes Welker was the difference between the Patriots and a fourth ring . . . and they still have three." That's devastating.
But more than anything, the most haunting aspect of last year's Super Bowl are the questions:
Was that it? Was that Brady's last shot? Is this Welker's legacy?
Unfortunately, it may be a while before we find a reasonable answer to any of those questions. But at the very least, the Pats will start the process on Sunday in Tennessee.

Planning commission reviews proposed ordinance revisions
WILLMAR -- Proposed revisions to Kandiyohi County's zoning and subdivision ordinances would increase the size of the board of adjustment and change how members of the planning commission are appointed.
The long list of proposed changes, which were reviewed Monday night, recommend that the board of adjustment be increased from three members to five members, and that the members of the planning commission are appointed from each of the county board districts with staggering terms.
The current ordinance doesn't require one Planning Commission member to come from each district.
The proposed changes also include new definitions for residential developments, like a planned unit development, and more specific language for different dwelling units, including twin homes and duplexes.
A public hearing will be held in January.
The purpose of the revisions was to clean up existing language and put the county ordinances more in line with state statutes, said County Zoning Administrator Gary Geer.
Many of the changes are administrative, he said, and won't affect the hot-button zoning issues of gravel mining, feedlots or rural residential developments.
The only time the planning commission raised an eye-brow during the hour-long presentation was during the reading of a proposed change to the animal agriculture section that said all application of liquid hog manure shall be incorporated into the soil immediately.
That generated a discussion on what is worse, hog manure or dairy cow manure.
Chairman Dennis Goehring said he thought the proposal would be unfair to hog farmers if they were required under the county ordinance to immediately incorporate the liquid manure. Tilling the manure into the soil soon after it's applied reduces the odor.
Geer said the proposed wording came at the recommendation of the county feedlot officer on the premise that most people find hog manure odors more objectionable than dairy cow manure. He also said the statute could be a hardship on small dairy farmers. Goehring asked if it wouldn't also be a hardship for small hog farmers.
"I think it's unfair to single out hog producers," said Goehring, who suggested the provision be extended to other livestock producers. "I don't see why the species makes the difference."
Eric Van Dyken, assistant zoning administrator, said there are few, if any, small hog farmers left in the county. He said it would be very restrictive to require small dairy farmers to meet the standard.
The Planning Commission agreed to remove the proposed revision. The requirement can, however, be included as a condition when livestock producers seek a conditional use permit.
In other action the Planning Commission:
- Tabled action on a request by Willmar Poultry Company Inc. for a planned unit development in an R-1 shoreland residential management district on Long Lake, in Dovre Township. The Commission agreed there was inadequate information about road access and septic system capabilities on the site to move ahead with the request. The Commission agreed to address the planned unit development request and preliminary plat at the same time, instead of addressing them separately.
- Approved a request by Randall Ryan for a planned unit development in an R-1 shoreland residential management district on Woodcock Lake.
- Approved rezoning land on County Road 9 Northeast in Kandiyohi Township from agriculture preservation to an R-2 community residence district. The land is in the Willmar urban growth area. One resident questioned if neighbors with livestock would have their rights limited if the hobby farms were surrounded by houses. She also questioned if people with wells and septic systems would be required to hook into the Willmar municipal system if the utilities are extended to the new housing development. Geer said only the land in question would have its zoning changed, and not area farms. He also said the new development would also have private wells and septic systems.

A career is a journey that for many will last 30-40+ years. Like most journeys it is seldom boring, and even the best researched plans can take the traveler on a winding road of adventure, unforeseen hazards, and ultimate reward.
Back in 1990, Dr. Seuss wrote a book called, "Oh, the places you'll go!" At first glance it looks like your typical children's book. In typical Seuss style the book takes you on a sing-song tour meeting strange new creatures like Hakken-Kraks and Boom Bands. Interestingly the summary says: advice in rhyme for proceeding in life, weathering fear, loneliness and confusion; and being in charge of your actions. I think this is a pretty good description of your career and the journey we all take.
Some people set out meticulous plans. They know exactly what program and University they want to attend and what industry and company they want their first position to be with. These people are planning some of their first career goals. Similar to Seuss's book, you set off on this adventure with plans and great expectations. You know what you want and you're going to get it!
A plan is important. Essential in many cases, but how will you react when obstacles are put in your way?
Some journeys don't have prescribed road maps. Roads are not always clearly marked and you have to make decisions based on the best information you have at that time. Do you go right or left? Do you wait, or take a chance on something different?
Whatever the direction, try and avoid Seuss's 'waiting place'. This journey will test and confuse us at times, and fear of the unknown can be an enormous hurdle.
But the waiting place is a sure way to stall your career. Confusion and fear can stop us dead in our tracks. We stop taking control of our own career and start relying on others and happen-chance to make a decision for us. For many the waiting place is safe and easy. Decisions are put on hold, and for a short time you live in limbo. There are so many other people there also waiting; it's easy to see why you could get too comfortable or lost in this place.
Press your reset button and get back on track. We become more knowledgeable after a few bumps in the road. Obstacles can be seen as an opportunity if you look at it from the right angle. We can learn to predict future detours based on reading company and marketplace signs. We can't always avoid them, but preparation can greatly improve our recovery rate, and get us out of the waiting place much faster the next time.
Every time you think you have hit a dead-end in your career, reflect on what you have learned. There will always be things you couldn't foresee, or control, but what did you do right? What could you have done differently? What did you learn from this experience to help you the next time your career goals are thrown a curve ball?
So set your goals and make your plans.
"Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
So…get on your way!"
Dr. Seuss

Baby Miracle was born 28th of June 2012 with Hydrocephalus which is a structural defect that affects ability of the brain to clear excess fluids so the fluid accumulates therefore leading to that expansion.
Luckily, it is curable through Neurosurgery but this will cost his family N6million to have this done in India. His family can't afford it and need your help. I've spoken to his mum, (pictured above with Miracle) so this is genuine. You can call her yourself on this number - 08055575878.

Cards Against Humanity Card Game
If you're looking for a new game for family game night Cards Against Humanity is not that game. If you want a game that is every bit as twisted, offensive and despicable as you and your friends then Cards Against Humanity is the game for you.
The rules for Cards Against Humanity are simple and similar to the game Apples to Apples. Every round the players are asked a question from one of the game's black cards. Each player has a hand of white cards with several possible responses, most of which are horribly offensive. The player who gives the funniest response to the question wins the round. A basic set comes with 460 white cards and 90 black cards. When you've grown board with the standard set there are plenty of expansion packs available.
Cards Against Humanity makes it the perfect man cave party game since it boils down to a group of people telling possible offensive stories and laughing about it.

Images sourced from : Ingrid Baars
One of my favourite photographers and artists at the moment is Ingrid Baars. Her work can be quite mixed, some pieces feel ethereal, soft and light, others are incredibly blunt, sharp and quite disturbing. Her monochrome montages are brilliant, but I absolutely love the coloured pieces for their boldness.
The first thing I thought when I saw her work was how clear the similarities were, between her own imagery and that of the Dadaists'. I've always been fascinated with Dada art since I was at school, my favourites were by Raoul Hausmann. A couple of years ago I was lucky enough to be in New York for the final leg of a touring Dada exhibition at the MoMA, featuring most infamously perhaps Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain".

Queensland reaffirms commitment to Adani's biz
The Premier of Queensland, Annastacia Palaszczuk, has affirmed her government's commitment to the $16.5 billion Carmichael mine project, a mine proposed by Adani Mining, a part of global integrated infrastructure conglomerate, Adani Group.
"My visit here shows that Queensland supports the Adani project for its potential to create many jobs for regional Queensland and will also help boost the Indian economy. Queensland will also be part of the solar project of Adani and we are delighted to be part of Adani in that project too," Palaszczuk said.
Adani Group on Friday hosted a high level delegation led by Annastacia Palaszczuk, Premier of Queensland, Australia at Mundra Port.
"Indians are a great community in Australia and the Indo-Australian relations are growing from strength to strength. The Australian Prime Minister will also be visiting India shortly and that shows the significance of the relationship," she added.
The project involves construction of a near-400km rail line from the Carmichael mine site to the Adani owned and operated bulk coal-loading facility at Abbott Point near Bowen.
Adani Group ventured into Australia commenced in 2010 with the purchase of the Greenfield Carmichael Coal Mine in the Galilee Basin, Central Queensland, and the Port of Abbot Point near Bowen in North Queensland.
Last year, the Queensland state's department of environment and heritage protection (EHP) issued a final environmental authority (EA) for Adani's Carmichael Mine project in the Galilee Basin. The EA application was vigorously assessed by the department and acted on recommendations made by the land court.

My fiance and I are both chocoholics. We want to have a dark chocolate and raspberry wedding cake. We even found a recipe and tried it out - yummy! and very rich. Thing is, we really want the exterior of the cake to be white. I hate both butter cream and fondant, the traditional wedding cake icings. I've never tried Royal icing, but have a feeling its going to be way too sweet. My thought was a white chocolate ganache, but I've never had one and was looking for some feedback from those who have to see what its like.
I would prefer dark chocolate, but then it wouldn't be white, would it?

Can't delete folder on Western Digital External HDD
I use the program there came with the disk, WDSmartWare. It's OK, but i can't delete the backup. It sounds strange to delete a backup, but it's because it's an old backup from another computer.
I've tried to delete the folder in Ubuntu which i've installed on a third-partition. It seems to work, but when i change to Windows there is a folder named .Trash-1000. I HAVE emptied the trash can in Ubuntu. If I rename the folder in Windows to f.x. "Delete me!", I can see it again in Ubuntu. Maybe I have to say that i've a bit problems when i have to remove the HDD from Ubuntu. It's says that there still is a process running, but the process doesn't stop. I've waited for an hour now. If I right click on the process and select "End task", Ubuntu works a few seconds and when it says "You can remove the movable disk now".
I've also tried to delete the folder in Super-admin account in Windows.
What can I do more?
Sorry for my bad english!

Several months ago the US Postal Service released a five-stamp series honoring trailblazing chefs; the beatified included James Beard, Julia Child, Joyce Chen, Edna Lewis, and Felipe Rojas-Lombardi. Alas, this comes too late in our history to provide what would have been a literally delicious irony—since stamps are now self-adhesive, we no longer need to lick them, and thus have lost the chance to taste the gustatory giants themselves (not to mention the critical appraisals that might have followed: "Edna Lewis leaves a sheen of mint on the tongue").
What the new series does provide, however, is an opportunity to consider the phenomenon of celebrity chefs itself. As a signifier of national fame, the postal service is more the last lap than the initial nod; by the time your mug makes it to a stamp, you've already dyed yourself pretty deeply into the cultural fabric. So the fact that these five icons are now smiling out at us from the covers of our electric bills is a pretty clear indication that they're already comfortably—and permanently—settled in our national pantheon.
Which raises the question: how do chefs, of all people, manage that? It's an easy call when it comes to athletes, actors, musicians, and fashion designers; their work is accessible not only by multitudes, but pretty much in perpetuity. Miles Davis might play a club date in 1957 to 30 people, but you can still hear it today on Spotify. Similarly, your coffee mug may well have Andy Warhol's Marilyn on it. Thanks to technology, the visual, literary, and performing arts aren't bound by considerations of immediacy and impermanence.
Tasting a Phenomenon
The culinary arts, however, are. Our eyes and ears might be able to appreciate an artist's work across oceans and decades, but our tongues are pretty much limited to the here and now. Julia Child's boeuf bourguignon might be a masterpiece on par with Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, but we have to take that on faith, because we can only directly experience the latter.
These chefs did no less than redefine what it means to be human; in the late 20th century, as regulation, mechanization, and industrialization reshaped our lives, they brought us back to to the garden and cooled our fevered brows. They reminded us that to eat well is to live well, and then they showed us how to do both.
Or can we? You might make the argument that Child's recipe for boeuf bourguignon (from her seminal text, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Volume 1) is like the score Mozart left behind for his Jupiter symphony. In each case, the masterpiece isn't the collection of pages itself; it's what the disciple creates by following the instructions laid out there.
Even so, the endeavor requires a commitment of time, energy, and faith, with no guarantee that what we produce from Child's recipe will be entirely representative of Child herself (kitchen techniques being as idiosyncratic as any other form of self-expression.) And even if Child's recipe were reproducible, it's not mass producible, so that your stunning boeuf bourguignon à la Julia is limited to your dinner guests—as opposed to the multitudes hearing the Jupiter on Live from Lincoln Center.
So what, then, explains the continuing fascination with high-profile chefs? The USPS defends their choice thusly: "…they invited us to feast on regional and international flavors and were early but ardent champions of trends that many foodies now take for granted. As they shared their know-how, they encouraged us to undertake our own culinary adventures." There's a kernel of truth there, but it's too blandly understated; it makes the chefs seem no more than lifestyle coaches.
In fact, what these chefs did was take one of the primal human needs—to eat—and reintroduce, after decades of austerity and guilt, a sense of joy to it. They taught Americans not to view their kitchens as work stations, but as creative studios—places to be bold, to think big, to embrace discovery. Their contribution to American lives is similar to that of their near-contemporaries Masters and Johnson, who demystified that other room in the house, banishing shame and secrecy in favor of playfulness and pleasure. In short, these chefs did no less than redefine what it means to be human; in the late 20th century, as regulation, mechanization, and industrialization reshaped our lives, they brought us back to to the garden and cooled our fevered brows. They reminded us that to eat well is to live well, and then they showed us how to do both.
Considering which, it's rather amazing the USPS took so long to honor them. Never mind; let's consider it the public-relations equivalent to slow cooking, and raise a glass to them all the same.

Unlicensed Buffalo driver crashes in Attica
ATTICA – A 23-year-old Buffalo woman was charged here with unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle after she slid through the intersection of Route 98 and Route 354 and struck a guard rail about 8 a.m. Sunday.
Tiffany E. Jordan of Huntington Avenue, was arrested after Attica police confirmed through a computer check that her driver's license was suspended because of five prior incidents. She was issued an appearance ticket for further proceedings in Attica Court in several weeks.

Give its position as a permanent, veto-wielding member of the Security Council, no UN peacekeeping operation can be deployed, expanded, or withdrawn from the field without U.S. consent.
The UN oversees the largest deployed military in the world, with more than 113,000 personnel deployed on 15 missions on four continents. Their activities are a boon to U.S. interests and are also extremely cost-effective, as other UN member states bear nearly three-quarters of their costs, and as the GAO noted, UN missions are eight times cheaper than U.S. forces acting alone.
Admiral Mike Mullen, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under President George W. Bush & President Barack Obama, wrote that "[United Nations] Peacekeepers… help reduce the risks that major U.S. military interventions may be required to restore stability in a country or region. Therefore, the success of these operations is very much in our national interest."
Over the past two decades, both Republican and Democratic Administrations have used U.S. influence at the Council to champion new missions with more complex mandates. This bipartisan support stems from the fact that countries undergoing conflict threaten U.S. national security, risk becoming safe havens for terrorist and criminal organizations, and feature levels of deprivation and abuses of human rights that are an affront to American values.

Four people are dead and 14 have been wounded after a mass shooting at a factory in a tiny Kansas city, according to authorities.
Harvey County Sheriff T. Walton told reporters that a gunman opened fire about 5 p.m. Thursday at Excel Industries, a manufacturer of lawnmowers in Hesston, Kansas – a city of about 3,700 people, 35 miles northwest of Wichita.
Walton said responding officers shot and killed the gunman, according to KWCH-TV.
After the shooting, the sheriff told assembled media that four to seven people are dead and an estimated 20 to 30 had been wounded – though investigators are still waiting to enter to factory, KAKE-TV reports.
According to NBC, those numbers are now 4 deceased including the gunman, and a total of 14 injured.
The shooting began outside the plan when the gunman opened fire on a pickup truck in downtown Hesston, wounding the man inside. Another man was wounded at an intersection nearby. A third victim was wounded in the parking lot of Excel before the shooter entered the building and opened fire, KSN-TV reports.
Walton confirmed that the gunman is an employee of Excel.
Witnesses told the Wichita Eagle that the shooter appeared to be armed with an assault rifle and a handgun.
Witness Jared Trujillo told KAKE that he was working on the assembly line when he heard what he thought was an explosion. A manager told workers that there was a shooter in the building and told them to run.
"He was just unloading on everybody," Trujillo said.
One employee was shot in the leg as he tried to escape, Trujillo recounted to KAKE. Trujillo and coworkers stopped and used to a belt to stop the bleeding and tended to him until ambulances arrived.
Trujillo embraced his wife Jennifer in a tearful hug as they were reunited.
"I'm just glad to see him. He's my life. I don't know what I'd do without him," Jennifer said.

February 16, 2017 -- MRI scans of more than 3,200 subjects have confirmed a delay in the development of five brain regions in people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), according to an international study published online February 15 in Lancet Psychiatry.
In the largest imaging study of ADHD to date, according to a statement from the journal, the greatest differences in brain development were found in children rather than adults. The researchers examined the brain structure of 1,713 people diagnosed with ADHD and 1,529 healthy control subjects between the ages of 4 and 63 years.
MRI scans were performed on all 3,242 participants to measure their overall brain volume and the size of seven brain regions thought to be associated with ADHD: the pallidum, thalamus, caudate nucleus, putamen, nucleus accumbens, amygdala, and hippocampus. The researchers also noted whether subjects with ADHD had ever taken psychostimulant medication such as Ritalin.
Overall brain volume and five of the regional volumes were smaller in people with ADHD, the group found. The volume differences were seen in the caudate nucleus, putamen, nucleus accumbens, amygdala, and hippocampus.
Similar differences in brain volume have been seen in those with other psychiatric disorders, especially major depressive disorder, noted lead author Dr. Martine Hoogman from Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen, the Netherlands.
At the time of the scans, 455 people with ADHD were receiving psychostimulant medication and 637 had taken the medication during their lifetime. The different volumes of the five brain regions involved in ADHD were present regardless of the use of medication.
In addition, the differences in brain volume were greater in children than adults. Based on the findings, the researchers suggested that ADHD is a disorder of the brain, and that developmental delays in several brain regions are characteristic of ADHD.
"The results from our study confirm that people with ADHD have differences in their brain structure and therefore suggest that ADHD is a disorder of the brain," Hoogman said in the statement. "We hope that this will help to reduce stigma that ADHD is 'just a label' for difficult children or caused by poor parenting. This is definitely not the case, and we hope that this work will contribute to a better understanding of the disorder."

Motorola Continues Patriotism as they Launch the Moto X Sign Up page
Motorola teased the Moto X yesterday by previewing their new ad they are putting in many major newspapers today. Now Motorola has set up a sign-up page for the new Moto X which is set to be announced this summer. We just don't know when. Just like any other sign-up page, you just enter your email address. Then you should get updates when it's time for the Moto X. Hopefully you'll find out about it here at Android Headlines before Motorola emails you.
Black Friday 2017 Deals: Find Great Deals on Android Smartphones, TV's, Smart Speakers, Chromebooks and More.
The sign-up page for Motorola shows off that the Moto X will be made in Fort Worth, Texas. They also say that they'll be employing about 2,000 new employees at launch, and they are hoping to grow. Motorola is also still touting that "the first smartphone designed, engineered and assembled in the USA". It's always great to see phones made in the USA. As it will help our economy and bring in more jobs. In fact, Motorola is using an old Nokia factory to make the Moto X.
Motorola confirmed that the Moto X will be announced before October, but at this rate we might not see the Moto X announced until late summer or early fall. We've heard many specs about the Moto X. We've even seen the X FON go through the FCC for US Cellular, AT&T, Verizon and Sprint. I'm still convinced that the X FON and the Moto X are two different devices. I'm sure Motorola knows you can't call a dual-core Snapdragon S4 Pro-based device a "hero" device in 2013. Motorola has said that the Moto X will be able to anticipate what you're going to do. It'll also be "always-on" so let's hope it has a huge battery so it'll last through out the day.
How many of you are anxiously awaiting the Moto X from Motorola? It's supposedly going to have a design inspired by Google, but Motorola won't get any special treatment from Google for Android updates or the Nexus program. Which really isn't all that surprising. Let us know in the comments how excited you are about the Moto X.

The Israelis sold the take from Pollard to the Soviets. American agents in the Soviet Union died because of Pollard. Israeli blood is apparently worth more to the Israelis than American blood is. So much for our "allies." Can you imagine the Brits doing the same? I think not.
You have heard of Philby, McLean, Burgess, Bount and Cairncross?
Israeli blood is more precious than American blood to a lot of FReepers as well.
