Inspiring profiles and best practices for entrepreneurs Twenty-six years ago the Brighton Evening Argus ran a story on a dispute between two funeral parlour owners who were upset about a new cosmetics boutique which had opened up next door. It wasn't the nature of the business they were getting hot under the collar about, but its name. They thought the green shop front emblazoned with the words Body Shop in gold leaf might put off prospective customers. "They wanted me to change my shop front which I had just spent £870 of my £4,000 loan on," recalls Roddick.
"My smart move was to call the Argus and tell them I was being threatened by Mafia undertakers who wanted to close me down." The press loved it. The story of the beleaguered single mum with the house in hock trying to support her two kids with a bootstrapping start-up worked a treat. The small splash made Body Shop a cause celebre, won plenty of local support and won an important battle to get the business off the ground. The anecdote is a small aside, recounted with a chuckle and a hint of outrage in a long interview. But although the battles got much bigger as Roddick grew her business into the multinational retailer it is today, anyone with even a passing familiarity with the Body Shop story will instantly recognise the defining characteristics of its fiery feisty founder in those early days of the business: Ethical Anita versus the big bad world.
Smoke Shop Business Plan
... sources will include government grants for a small business or minority organization grants. We will also be ... affordable for everyone. The atmosphere of this business will be professional and high class furniture will ... Dreams is to out grow the current smoke shops and become the top firm in this industry ... height of quality and excellence in the smoke shop industry. Our products range from high end ...
There has never been any compromise in Roddick's views on how business should be done: this is why her husband Gordon was tasked with handling the City suits ("they didn't like me talking about sexual tension at work") and why she stepped away from the business in 1998 when the shareholders said a campaigning chief executive was not what they wanted for Body Shop. You might think after thirty years of business and the comfort of a healthy shareholding and a wedge of cash in the bank Roddick's hunger for campaigning might have diminished. But little has changed since 1976. Her latest venture, a publishing start-up, produces books on ethical matters. It promotes her on the speaking circuit and all the profits going into campaigning. The only difference is now she occupies the position of an icon for women and female entrepreneurs: "something I don't take lightly" And there is still plenty to shout about when it comes to what she sees as an ethical vacuum in business today.
Suffocation She rails against the suffocation of UK businesses as we outsource to cheaper countries; the failure to preserve the needs of shareholders in public companies; the lack of respect for the responsibility of business to the community at large; the ongoing need for women to conform to a male template in order to succeed; the lack of recognition of the value that employees bring to a business. "Being ethical in business is not about giving stuff away" Roddick is emphatic about what this means in practice: not sandals, beards and group hugs in the boardroom but the adoption of simple moral values. "People use the excuse of business to leave their morals at the front door and I don't know how they get away with it."
But can ethical business really fit in with the cut-throat world of today? Her business, she says, is living proof. She describes Body Shop as a "great business experiment" which is still proving a point: you can run an entrepreneurial business, provide a return to shareholders while campaigning on ethical issues and placing a high value on human capital. "Being ethical in business is not about giving stuff away. It's about your relationship with your employees, it's about the aesthetics of the workplace and it's about communication," says Roddick. "There is no reason why the workplace can't be a genuine creative place, why there can't be flexitime, why there can't be transparency and even good manners." If Roddick doesn't sound like a business woman it's because she has never claimed to be one. She puts her success down to a need for a livelihood and sees herself as the accidental entrepreneur.

Travelers who want to go deep into Cape Town's culinary culture may want to consider a South Africa tour that features the fine points of traditional curry, a chance to watch the country's top chefs cook, and regional foods like biltong and bobotie to sample -- all washed down with plenty of locally made wines.
Tour company Red Savannah has designed an eight-day Gourmet South Africa tour that's all about teaching and tasting -- and a bit of relaxing too. Participants stay at luxury resort Cellars-Hohenort four nights to explore the city's Malay Quarter where a local teaches them to make rotis, samosas and curry. Then it's off to spend time with some pro chefs: Luke Dale Roberts shows how he prepares dishes in his test kitchen, and Bruce Robertson creates a five-course lunch at his home.
The tour spends time in Winelands too, for tasting wine, chocolate, cheese and olives, all of which are produced in the area. Here guests stay at Babylonstoren, a 250-acre working farm, where they learn about winemaking and farm foods. Travelers may plan their visit to the Good Food & Wine Show where top chefs, including Gordon Ramsay, appear from May 29 to June 1.
When: Travelers may choose their own dates and itinerary.
Price: $7,945 per person, double occupancy. It includes meals, lodgings, tours and ground transportation; international airfare is extra.

Many people think the key to being able to save money for the long term and your retirement is directly related to how much you earn. However according to a study of saving behavior by economists Steven Venti of Dartmouth and David Wise of Harvard, more than 75% of respondents said they knew that their savings, specifically for retirement, were insufficient.
That's a big percentage but even more surprising was they discovered that how much you earn has very little to do with how rich you are. Venti and Wise divided the 7,700 households they studied into 10 income groups. The top 10% of the lowest income group had saved more than $150,000 per household. Meanwhile, middle-income folks, on average, had only $45,000 in assets. Whilst the study was in America the results would be very similar if it was run in NZ.
Some of their key findings were:
1. There's a huge variation in wealth at every income level. Many low-income families have almost nothing. But the same is true of many high-income families.
2. Income alone doesn't explain wealth disparities. Some of the lowest-earning households had managed to accumulate significant wealth.
3. In fact, income differences explain just 5% of the wealth dispersion the researchers found.
4. What the researchers called "chance events" — inheritances, medical bills, marital status, and number of children — explained about 4% of the dispersion.
5. Investment choices explained about 8% of the variations.
6. In other words, the vast majority of the differences in wealth had nothing to do with income, chance events or investment choices.
7. What did explain most of the differences in wealth? Venti and Wise concluded it was this: How much the families chose to save. Those who made it a priority to save built wealth, regardless of their income level, individual circumstances or choice of investments.
The bottom line is that the research clearly shows we have little excuse for not saving. What Venti and Wise found to be the most significant savings factor was no more jaw-dropping than this: Ya just gotta save it!

Forsyth Tech Enhances Nano-education Program With qNano
|(Nanowerk News) Forsyth Technical Community College, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, will be the first college in the US to use Izon Science's qNano nanoparticle analysis system in a nano-education programme. The new technology will allow students pursuing Forsyth Tech's highly rated nanotechnology degree to study nanoparticle properties and behavior with industry-leading precision.
|Dr. Kevin J. Conley, Program Coordinator of Nanotechnology Education at Forsyth Technical Community College, says "Nanoparticles - such as proteins and polymers - are often smaller than the wavelength of light, so you can't tell how big they are just by looking. By precise control of just a few variables, the qNano makes high-precision nanoparticle sizing a reality. The sound science on which it is designed rewards students for their critical thinking. So we have high expectations for the qNano as a teaching tool."
|Forsyth Tech's Associate's Degree in Nanotechnology was launched six years ago and remains the only degree program of its kind in the US Southeast.
|Hans van der Voorn, Executive Chairman of Izon Science says, "Working together to improve nanotech education is extremely important to us. The qNano is very useful for teaching about particle size, number and the forces acting on the particles, as it has the unique ability to vary pressure and voltage and monitor individual particle behavior."
|Forsyth Tech's Nanotechnology degree program prepares students to characterize and fabricate materials for biological, chemical and electrical applications at the nano-scale.
|This includes developing nanocarriers for targeted drug delivery and cancer cures, lab-on-a-chip devices for medical assays, and nanoparticles for use in clothing, computers, cars, and aircraft.
|Dr Conley says, "We prepare graduates for multidisciplinary careers. We train them to be compatible with biologists, chemists, physicists, and engineers. Our graduates are then able to help incorporate nanotechnologies into startup and established companies in the region. We also teach economics alongside the sciences to help promote growth of the nanotechnology sector in the US."
|According to Dr Conley, single-particle event counting will be the way forward for the nanotechnology industry. "The industry-standard particle-sizing method is DLS (Dynamic Light Scattering). This method reports averages over thousands of particle events. The qNano reports precise data for single events. In the long run, the simpler, more elegant method always wins."
|Forsyth Tech will further build the skills of students through collaborations and exchanges with other education institutes such as the University of Victoria in Wellington, New Zealand.
|Forsyth Tech is the first customer in nano-education and the 100th customer using the instrument. A special All-Blacks edition 100th Instrument has been presented to commemorate the occasion.
|About Izon Science
|Izon Science has developed the world's first nanopore based measurement system available for general use. Izon's instruments are used for precise measurement and analysis of individual particles across a wide range of scientific fields including bionanotechnology, nanomedicine, vaccinology, microbiology, biomedical research, environmental science, and particle based nanoscience. Izon originated in New Zealand and now sells its products in 23 countries. It has its European headquarters in Oxford, UK and US headquarters in Cambridge, MA. http://www.izon.com

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA):
Research shows that applied behavior analysis helps children with autism learn. ABA works with people of all ages, but it is best to start as early as possible.
Most children are between 2 and 6 years old when they begin ABA treatment. If a child starts at age 2, ABA can help him develop better communication skills and help him learn to follow directions and simple commands, to prepare him for pre-school. For older children, ABA is often used as part of the child's education, to teach social skills, daily living skills or to help change problem behaviors.
ABA programs:
Some ABA teaching programs include:
ABA can look different depending on what you are trying to teach and the individual child. Discrete Trial Training (DTT), often used to teach school skills, is one way of doing ABA that looks like this:
ABA can also work in natural situations, like at home:

What Is Missing in a Voucher Policy?
"Teaching is not and cannot be a science" Sarason
"In the last year or so the refrain is 'We need better qualified teachers.' What is meant by better and qualified is never defined." Sarason
@anderscj does this apply to free schools?
@Safraze I don't know. Sarason was referring to the educational rhetoric as a whole. I suppose to some extent free schools are exempt.
@Safraze but, then free schools are often outside the sphere of national rhetoric anyway.

Have you ever sketched in Cuba? We posed the question on our Facebook page and urban sketchers from all over the world have started sharing links to colorful impressions of the long-isolated country. With the normalization of diplomatic relations between the United States and Cuba announced this week, more people will be able to travel to the Caribbean's largest island, a place that has inspired artists for generations, including the sketchers who shared their work for this group post.
"First day in Havana, fascinated by the atmosphere... The travel is geographic, but also historical. I feel like in a spatio-temporal flow: without any mark. Besides, Cubans seem very talkative, I feel quickly at ease... even too talkative: there is always someone to ask me something! But most of the times, it's funny. Two guys next to me are joking: "Why are you drawing this old rotten car...?!" "

Luckily, when I explained in my bad Spanish that I was an artist and just wanted half an hour to draw the buildings, he let me stay.

"Though it may not appear in the travel guides, "Callejón de Hamel" is the epicenter of the afrocuban culture in Havana.

People dance "rumbas" and play afrocuban music until three in the afternoon. African rhythms with a Spanish accent."

A friend sent this to me with the comment, "this kind of terrified me more than your list of how to drive your [man] crazy in bed."
I knew immediately what I had to do (after my jealousy over Nicki Minaj's hotness subsided). And that was to predict the "8 Surprise Moves" that doubtlessly make up this feature in Cosmopolitan:
1. The Adam Sandler: Grab a bottle of nice-smelling shampoo and conditioner, and draw a warm bath. Beckon your man into the tub and alternately pour shampoo and conditioner over each of his balls while purring, "shampoo is better" and "conditioner is better" in your best Adam Sandler voice. He's sure to be very surprised!
2. The Roman Holiday: Men have sensitive prostate glands, and they always like to keep the sparks flying in bed. If fireworks are legal in your state, buy a roman candle, stick it in your man's no-no hole with one hand, and light it on fire while gently caressing his manhood with the other. We promise, this one will be a real shocker!
3. The Krispy Kreme: Early in the morning, go out and buy a plain glazed doughnut from the nearest Krispy Kreme. Crawl into bed quietly, and gently place the doughnut around your man's morning wood. Wake him up by chomping away at the donut. He'll be totally stunned!
4. The Tent Pole: Plan a romantic camping trip in the woods. At dawn, sneak out of the tent and release a blood curdling scream. When your man leaps from his fart sack to see what's going on, greet him naked, humping on a tree like it was a stripper pole and doing a risque dance for him. This is some seriously remarkable a.m. foreplay!
5. The Jenner-Dolezal: Whatever race or gender you are, dress up (convincingly) like a different race and gender in the middle of the night while your man is asleep. Wake him up with a blow-job, pick your head up briefly, and smile broadly to electrify the bedroom!
6. The Pub Snack: Put on a Hooters waitress uniform and whip up a quick plate of hot wings with a side of celery sticks, baby carrots, and blue cheese. Get frisky in the kitchen and as soon as both your clothes come off, take a baby carrot or celery stick, dip it in blue cheese lube (blube?) and stick it where the sun don't shine. Your man is guaranteed to be amazed!
7. The Sonic Boom: Men really respond to auditory stimuli. Put together a hot playlist that includes the best of Weird Al Yankovic and The Fresh Prince, because men love to get their rocks off to "Parents Just Don't Understand" and "Like a Surgeon." He will be totally startled at your awesome taste in sexy-times music!
8. The Vampire Fish: Straddle your man and start rockin' with you on top. Right when things really begin to heat up, reach behind you and whip out a poster-sized color photo of a vampire fish (a.k.a. lamprey). This move will be completely unforeseen!

Europe's moral conscience was shaken last September, by the tragic image of three-year-old Aylan Kurdi's body upon a Turkish beach. His death was a poignant reminder of the hardships faced by refugees in their quest for safety, begging the question… where is the humanity in Europe's response to the refugee crisis?
Forced displacement due to conflict, violence and persecution is at an all-time high, and according to the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) over one million refugees and migrants* risked the deadly Mediterranean crossing to reach Europe by sea in 2015. Half of them were Syrians fleeing the ruthless Assad regime and ISIS brutality, one in five had come from war-torn Afghanistan, while others were escaping on-going conflict in Iraq, as well as enslavement and torture in Eritrea.
Due to rising tensions and poor encampment conditions in local refugee-hosting nations – including Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt, among others – many were compelled to seek safety elsewhere, in Europe. Sadly though, despite their bravery, at least 3,735 of those who attempted to cross the Mediterranean are believed to have drowned en route. Scale-backs in support for search and rescue operations, and a failure to crack down on illegal people smuggling, will surely result in further preventable casualties at sea in the coming year.
Europe may be considered a haven of hope and protection for incoming refugees and migrants, but all too often they are faced with further suffering upon their arrival. Amnesty investigations have revealed appalling detainment conditions, as well as the abusive treatment of refugees and migrants along the Western Balkans route, from Greece through to Hungary.
Overcrowded and underfunded immigration detention centres in Greece are sheltering thousands of people in unsanitary and unsafe conditions, while police at the Greek-Macedonian border have physically and verbally abused refugees – including children and the elderly.
Further along the route, Hungarian authorities recently constructed a razor-wire fence along their border with Serbia, where riot police have fired tear gas and water cannons at refugees and migrants. Female refugees have also faced assault and sexual harassment throughout their travels, at the hands of people smugglers, security officials and fellow refugees.
Furthermore, the tightening of border restrictions along the Western Balkans route has fuelled an increase in illegal push-backs and deportations, directly violating the Non-Refoulement principle that prohibits the forced return of refugees to circumstances that endanger their human rights.
For those who are eventually granted legal entry and residence in Europe, their struggle is by no means over: integrating into a foreign society is a challenge in itself. Language barriers can complicate basic activities like shopping, making friends, navigating public transport and helping children with homework – not to mention applying for jobs and housing (and avoiding financial exploitation by employers and landlords).
On top of these practical challenges, refugees often struggle with the psychological impacts of uprooting their lives; leaving behind friends and promising careers, and adapting to a new culture, can lead to feelings of loneliness and identity loss, with anti-foreigner discrimination making life even more difficult.
The harsh realities encountered by refugees and migrants might be difficult for us to imagine or relate to, but we mustn't turn a blind eye to their inhumane treatment at many European borders (with the exception of Germany!) – we must demand more of our authorities to protect their safety and to promote inclusion.
These are people who have fled unthinkable violence and tyranny, and to greet them with further abuse and discrimination is shameful. A staggering 86% of the world's refugees are hosted by developing countries, which have far less wealth and resources to expend than European nations; in light of this, Amnesty is calling upon European leaders to step up their collaborative efforts, to provide safer, legal routes into Europe, and to improve and scale-up resettlement and integration programmes.
* the term 'migrant' refers to both asylum seekers who are fleeing violence and have yet to be legally recognised as refugees, and to economic migrants who are seeking employment and a better standard of living.

What is the Queen's Speech?
Written by the government and delivered by the reigning monarch, the Queen's Speech sets out the legislative agenda and is the centrepiece of the state opening of Parliament.
Each session of Parliament begins with this royal address, which usually covers the following year.
In most subsequent years it has taken place in November, but it has been moved forward to May this year, after no speech was given in 2011.
Every time there is a general election, Parliament is dissolved and the Queen's Speech takes place shortly after the government comes to power, as happened in 1997, 2001, 2005 and in May 2010.
It is intended that, in future, the speech will regularly happen in May, as, with the introduction of fixed-term parliaments, this is the month when general elections will be held.
The ceremonial trappings surrounding the speech make the event one of the high points of the parliamentary calendar, unrivalled in its spectacle and tradition despite some of the more arcane practices having been toned down in recent years.
The Queen normally attends the state opening in person and delivers the speech from the grand throne in the House of Lords.
Her speech does not set out the entirety of the government's programme, however.
The Budget and the autumn statement on the economy have also been increasingly used to set out strategy and announce new measures.
The decision over what to put in or leave out of the Queen's Speech is a politically crucial one, usually the subject of months of political wrangling within government as ministers fight for their favoured measures to win a slot in the crowded legislative agenda.
Typically a cabinet committee - which includes the leaders of the Commons and Lords, the chief whip and chief law officers - helps decide on content for the Queen's Speech, with the prime minister having the final say.
The coalition government means that negotiations are likely to have been more protracted than usual, with Conservative and Liberal Democrat ministers pushing their priorities.
The limited parliamentary timetable - and the time it takes for large bills to pass through examination by committees in the Commons and Lords - usually means not all desired measures can be included.
Delaying measures can create its own difficulties, with late bills in danger of running into the parliamentary buffers of the end of the session.
Bills which fail to pass through all their parliamentary stages by this point fall, and have to be reintroduced from scratch in the next session.
Although the government controls the parliamentary timetable through its majority in the House of Commons, several factors can derail or change its plans.
First of all, the House of Lords - whether or not it has a government majority - can reject government bills, sending them back for review to the House of Commons.
Although the government can reverse Lords decisions, the time it takes to do this can slow down progress on other parts of its programme.
In addition, the opposition can seek to delay measures. This is a tactic which can only be effective when the government has a small and unstable majority and is unable to use its "guillotine" to cut off further debate.
And the government's own backbenchers might seek to defeat the government on certain unpopular measures.
In addition to the plans set out in the Queen's Speech, the government might agree to add extra bills - including those proposed by private members who come high on an annual ballot each year - to its own programme.

How do you develop unique and attractive custom paint motorcycle designs? One way is to come up with the artwork on your own. You don't have to be a graphic artist to get your ideas across for custom paint motorcycle designs. Indeed, when you work with our professionals at Bad Ass Paint, all you have to do is to explain what you want on your bike, and our team of experts will take it from there.
Of course, we also have dozens of really cool custom paint motorcycle designs already in stock. You can view some of our artwork on our website. What we love to do is take traditional bike designs--say, flames and skulls--and add a unique and fine tuned flair. This detailed precision work takes a little more time than a standard paint job, but ultimately results in a much better looking end product.
Painted design styles, not just motorcycles:

Saturn Earrings
Saturn can increase mental focus and clarity of mind. An auspicious Saturn manifests the ability to shoulder responsibility, to be persistent and can lead us to prosperity and success.
Our earrings for Saturn are mostly available in amethyst and lapis lazuli, gentle substitute stones for this planet. Because the stones don't directly touch the skin, these earrings are mostly decorative. However, they nicely complement our Saturn bracelets, necklaces, pendants and rings.
We hand make most of our earrings in our studio located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Northern California.

Charlotte Lemanski, University College London
The contemporary comparative 'turn' in urban studies, calling for urban theories to be open to the experiences of all cities, has come as no great shock to those undertaking research in cities outside the global north and in particular the Anglo-American sphere. However, the epistemological and methodological logistics of implementing such an egalitarian approach have hampered practical application. Based on research undertaken in South Africa, my recent paper in Urban Studies develops the concept and methodological approach of 'hybrid gentrification' (where'gentrification' could be replaced by any other urban theory historically entrenched in western experience) to demonstrate how non-northern urban experiences can and should create and refine urban theory.
To give some personal context: after a decade of research in urban South Africa, I was becoming increasingly frustrated with the utility of existing urban theories, many of which seemed only marginally relevant to my empirical work. Much of my research has focused on state-subsided housing projects, particularly addressing a specific settlement in Cape Town (Westlake village).Whilst not the primary focus of my original research, over time it became evident that a number of beneficiaries were selling their state-subsidised houses on the private (sometimes informal) market. In many senses, this was hardly surprising – eligibility for state-subsidised housing requires very low household income, and the provision of a house does not alleviate daily poverty, but merely creates 'asset rich, cash poor' households with an obvious mechanism to alleviate their cash poverty.Indeed, the re-sale of state-subsidised houses has been a national trend, but what has been significant in Westlake village is the high class/income profile of property purchasers, the majority of whom are local employers seeking accommodation for staff.At first glance, this appeared to resonate with theories of 'downward raiding', where the new indigenous middle-class, unable to afford property in the city, 'raid' low-income (often informal and/or state-subsidised) areas.However, in this South African example there was a clear income and class distinction between purchasers (commercial companies and elite households), occupiers(regularly employed un/semi-skilled workers), and vendors (mostly under- and un-employed) that did not match traditional urban theories of gentrification or downward raiding.Consequently, this unusual (according to traditional theories) process of class-based residential change has provided an empirical example and methodological approach from which to initiate theoretical analysis that is driven from the southern city.
In the paper, I argue that comparative urbanism's call for a more egalitarian urban theory can be implemented by taking context-specific empirical trends and theoretical resources as an analytical starting point (rather than applying theories rooted in one context to another) from which to challenge existing, and create new, urban theories.In the specific case discussed here, the ways in which property sales in South Africa's state-subsidised market provide distorted echoes, rather than identical duplications, of both gentrification and downward raiding, result in this paper coining the phrase 'hybrid gentrification'.The hybrid gentrification concept and method serves as a model for expanding urban studies beyond its northern bias, as well as for theorising across northern and southern cities more broadly. By demonstrating the ways in which using diverse and unexpected empirical examples can develop and challenge theoretical labels and accompanying debates, hybrid gentrification provides a template for analysis that bridges the north/south theoretical divide, allowing 'northern' urban theories to be reshaped and refined by southern' practices (and vice versa).

Regular Excursion: On Thursdays
Batumi Botanical Garden – one of the largest gardens in Europe located 9 km. north of Batumi at the place called "Mtsvane Kontskhi ("Green Cape") on the Black Sea shore. The garden consists of nine floristic sections, those of Caucasian humid subtropics, East Asia, New Zealand, South America, the Himalayas, Mexico, Australia and of the Mediterranean. The garden comprises 2037 taxonomic units of ligneous plants, including 104 of Caucasian origin. The sea view from the Botanical Gardens is really impressive. Equally impressive is the view of the gardens from the sea. There is no season without blooming in this Botanical masterpiece. It is especially fascinating in late spring, summer and early autumn, when exotic plants burst into colorful blossoms in turn and wrap the whole cape in passionate aroma.
It is possible to drive along the routes of the Botanical Garden on the special means of transportation "mobile".
Petra Fortress – the ruins of the ancient historical city-fortress Petra is located in the village of Tsikhisdziri, Kobuleti region. It dates back to VI c. AD. Historically this territory was the settlement place of one of the Kartvelian tribes – Lazes. The Byzantine Emperor Justinian built a city here because of the unique military-strategic and trade-economical location. Petra Fortress became so inaccessible by the Middle Ages that it was even called "Kajeti Fortress"
Holy trinity Hill with marvelous panoramic views on Batumi, see and mountains.
Enjoy this tour with "Wonderland"!

Hibiscus, scientific name Hibiscus Sabdariffa, is a bushy plant originating from North Africa and Southeast Asia. It is known from many different names including Ambashthaki, Bissap, Gongura, Groseille de Guinée, Guinea Sorrel, Hibisco, Hibiscus Calyx, Hibiscus sabdariffa, Jamaica Sorrel, Karkade, Karkadé, Oseille de Guinée, Oseille Rouge, Pulicha Keerai, Red Sorrel, Red Tea, Rosa de Jamaica, Roselle, Sour Tea, Sudanese Tea, Thé Rose d'Abyssinie, Thé Rouge, Zobo, Zobo Tea. It comes from the mallow family called Malvaceae and from the genus Hibiscus. In the Philippines, we have Gumamela which looks similar to Hibiscus. They are from the same family but not the same genus.
I may be a little obsessed with my #hibiscuskombuchatea #Kombucha #kombuchalove #kombuchatea #kombuchaphilippines #kombuchateaphilippines #vegan #paleo #glutenfree #healthyguthappygut #booch #fermentedtea #probiotics #vegetarian #healthy #veganphilippines #vegetarianphilippines #organic #hibiscus #hibiscustea
Hibiscus is used in food and beverages as well as alternative medicine. The flowers are used in drinks, jams, soup, sauce, spice mix and even as natural food coloring. But the most popular use, is to make tea out of it.
Drinks made using Hibiscus flowers
In alternative medicine, the flowers and other parts of hibiscus are used to treat colds, stomach irritation, swelling, loss of appetite, cough, stomach irritation and many more.
Health Benefits of Hibiscus
Hibiscus and Blood Pressure
In the study published in Journal of Nutrition in 2010, people who were served three 8-oz serving of hibiscus tea daily for 6 weeks showed lower blood pressure compared to those who were served with placebo drink. Another study published in 2015 showed that participants who drank hibiscus tea showed lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure. More studies are needed to prove these claims though.
Hibiscus, Cholesterol and Diabetes
Hibiscus have shown to help in managing cholesterol levels. According to a study published in 2009, Sour Tea or Hibiscus tea has hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects and may be helpful for people who are suffering from diabetes and other metabolic diseases.
How to Make Hibiscus Kombucha Tea
Hibiscus tea can be used to make kombucha tea. It contains tannins, which the SCOBY uses to thrive on. Since hibiscus tea is already flavorful, second fermentation and flavoring is just optional. Click here to get my hibiscus kombucha tea recipe.
Hibiscus Jelly Recipe
This hibiscus jelly recipe is adapted from Genius Kitchen's recipe. Pectin could be hard to find in the Philippines, so I used Guar gum instead. If you have cornstarch, that could work as well.
¼ cup Dried hibiscus flowers/Tea
1 ½ cup water (you may also use apple juice or cranberry juice)
1 cup boiling water
1 cup vinegar
4 tbsp kalamansi juice
5 cups sugar
2 tsp cornstarch or Guar gum
- Bring to boil 1 cup of water. When water starts boiling, add 5 cups of sugar. Stir until completely dissolved.
- Add hibiscus flowers and steep for 8-10 minutes. Do not stir.
- Remove the flowers.
- Mix all the remaining water or juice, kalamansi juice and vinegar in a bowl and add in the cornstarch or guar gum to make a roax. Then pour in the mixture to the pot. Turn off the heat once the mixture has thicken.
- Let the mixture cool down, then store in jars.

Oracle version(s): 7.3.4 onwards
|What's the difference between DELETE ROWS and TRUNCATE TABLE ?
Back to index of questions
At the simplest level, delete scans the table and removes any rows that match the given criteria in the (optional) where clause. It generates rollback information so that the deletions can be undone should it be necessary. Index entries for the deleted rows are removed from the indexes. You must commit to make the deletions permanent.
When deleting rows from a table, extents are not deallocated, so if there were 50 extents in the table before the deletion, there will still be 50 after the deletion. In addition the High Water Mark is not moved down, so it remains where it was before the deletion began. This means that any subsequent full table scans may (still) take a long time to complete - because a full table scan always scans up to the HWM. So, by example, if a select count(*) from very_large_table; took 15 minutes to complete before all the rows were deleted, you will find that it still takes about 15 mins after the deletion - because Oracle is still scanning every single block up to the HWM - even though some (or all) of the blocks may have no data in them.
Truncate, on the other hand, simply moves the high water mark on the table right down to the beginning. It does this very quickly, and does not need to be committed. Once you truncate a table, there is no going back. Indexes are also truncated. There is no facility to be able to specify which rows to 'delete' as you can with the where clause on the delete command.
When a table is truncated, all its extents are deallocated leaving only the extents specified when the table was originally created. So if the table was originally created with minextents 3, there will be 3 extents remaining when the tables is truncated.
If you specify the reuse storage clause, then the extents are not deallocated. This saves time in the recursive SQL department if you intend to reload the table with data from an export for example, and can reduce the time it takes to do the import as there is no need to dynamically allocate any new extents.

I (Brock) am a FIEND when it comes to General Tso's Chicken. It's all I order from Chinese restaurants and the standard by which I judge all others. So to be fair, Laurel and I decided to try it on our own and see if we can make our own Chinese deliciousness at home. Here is the evidence of our attempt…
We followed the Serious Eats recipe for "The Best General Tso's Chicken," because Serious Eats is arguably the best food website on the planet, and their food lab experiments are the bomb.
We prepped everything a few hours ahead of time, so we just had to cook when we wanted dinner, which was a good call. Since we're newbies, no timer was used, but I'd estimate 20 minutes prep + 30 minutes cooking. Fair warning, I'm (Laurel) a terrible estimator.
We had to buy a lot of ingredients to make this the first time (and will hopefully soon have a post about the gin we'll make with the leftover vodka, because that's good for nothing but Bloody Marys in our book) but with a decent pantry/freezer, and knowing that we'll have random cravings for the General, we could probably pull this off anytime from here on out. And it wouldn't take too much longer than waiting for delivery.
- Crispy! Adding part of the marinade to the dry mix is CLUTCH.
- Nice balance of flavors, but not quite spot-on with the General Tso's Brock craves.
- Chicken done properly.
- Rice perfectly done. (L: Brock is too nice to me. The rice was my job, and adequate.)
- Bonus: No off-putting, uhm, side effects that sometimes come with Chinese take-out.
- Saltier, sweeter, spicier.
- Less time consuming. (But it was quite easy. Also, worth noting this is a Brock complaint.)
- Dish washer? As in, damn we had a lot of dishes to do after this was done. Live and learn.
Leftovers (microwaved at work): Flavor = excellent, texture = no longer crispy (obv), overall though, happy with it. Better than reheating take-out.
Tweaks for next time:
- Play around with the sauce a bit … maybe add come garlic-chili paste … and add more green onions. We'll break some of the chiles next time to release more heat, and taste test the sauce along the way more.
- Remember to buy a new candy/deep fry thermometer.
Bottom line: When you want Chinese / General Tso's, don't you typically just want to be lazy and have someone bring you delicious(?) food you can eat for three days? Maybe. Definitely sometimes. So is planning and making and eating this General Tso's worth it?
Now we just need to try our hands at egg rolls.
Comment of the adventure: "It's either you have children or you enjoy drinking all day."
PS: Worth noting: With the leftover rice, ginger and single lonely chicken thigh, we made a riff on this ginger fried rice … added diced chicken to the leeks for the last five minutes or so, and stirred the eggs into the dish. Pretty awesome.

About This Episode
Join us at The Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC as Neil deGrasse Tyson and Eugene Mirman investigate society and the human condition with the help of bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell, sociologist Dr. Alondra Nelson and comedian Wyatt Cenac. Using Gladwell's books Blink, Outliers, David and Goliath and The Tipping Point as background, Neil and our guests explore issues like sexism, class privilege and whether racism is an innate reflex or the result of socialization through religion, family and the media. You'll hear how moving to blind auditions changed the gender mix in major orchestras overnight, and how your facial expressions indicate whether you'll get divorced. Find out how the culture of NASA led to the Challenger disaster and whether institutional change is even possible. Learn why it takes 10,000 hours of work to turn talent into genius – with comparisons to Mozart and Beyoncé. Plus, Gladwell explains why the legend of David and Goliath, which plays into society's love of underdogs, is really the story of an experienced warrior using superior firepower and technology to beat a blind man in a knife fight.

Menswear catwalk images can be off-putting. The weirdly styled looks get all the attention, while the good clothes get overlooked. This week's Milan shows prove the coming trends are not that scary, plus you can shop in the sales now with next season in mind.
Easiest trend to digest? Green is the new black. From khaki Burberry trenches to a lovely Prada jade top via the picnic-inspired green gingham at D&G – you've carte blanche to find the green tone that works for you. Next are clothes with their sleeves sliced off: best are cardigans at Missoni (their knits are on fire) and a utility-style gilet at Bottega Veneta with loads of pockets. You don't need gym arms; just layer up.
More good news: shorts will get looser. Dolce did theirs with an effortless neutral breeze while Calvin Klein's were sporty. And trade in your flip-flops – this week, sandals have been paired with posh jogging bottoms at Bottega, gone biker-gladiator at Burberry and boasted rope-ankle ties at Dolce. And the season's curveball? Leather trousers may well be the new jeans. Burberry, Armani and Versace (complete with fringing) think so.

Jan 13th: Rob Streeter – Winter and spring steelheading on Ontario tribs
• January 13, 2016 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Fly fishing authority and author Rob Streeter joins us to present strategies and techniques for winter and spring steelhead fishing on the tributaries of Lake Ontario. Tributaries such as the Cattaraugus, Canadaway, Chautauqua, and Eighteen Mile Creek, plus numerous other smaller tribs of Lake Ontario offer an alternative to the crowded Salmon River steelhead fishery, which is probably the one most-visited by Connecticut anglers.
Rob Streeter is the Outdoor Columnist for the Albany Times Union newspaper, and in addition to being a frequent contributor to several magazines and websites, he's also an employee of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, where he works in the Division of Water.
The meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. but doors open at 7 p.m. for pizza, soda and some good conversation with fellow anglers. Don't miss out on the raffle too!

Robert Downey Junior - The Bad Boy at His Best
Robert Barnwell | Johnson City, Tennessee | 07/05/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)
"If you're anything like me, the almost semi-annual relapse and recovery of Robert Downey Jr. has been an interesting periodic feature of the morning news. After a while one begins to question why does Hollywood put up with him when there is no shortage of talented actors desperately trying to make it in Hollywood? Why would producers and studios, who are so financially dependent on their productions going off without a hitch, take yet another chance on Robert Downey, Jr? Then I saw Chaplin, and I understood.The intensity and power of the Robert Downey's performance in this film is the stuff of Oscars and true movie legend! It's both a beautiful performance and a beautiful film!Somehow Sir Richard Attenborough got out of Downey the kind of performance that can sustain a career, and a legend. But Sir Richard's mastery didn't stop there. He got spectacular performance out of everyone, including a young, pre-X-Files David Duchovny. (I know I misspelled that. But you know who I mean.)In summation, Robert Downey's performance is every bit the equal of James Dean's in Giant, East of Eden or Rebel without a Cause, and maybe that's what we should keep in mind. For unlike Dean, another self-destructive personality, Robert Downey has not driven off the cliff yet, and hopefully he never will."
A Dazzling Cinematic Experience...
Kim Anehall | Chicago, IL USA | 01/02/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Charles Chaplin was one of the pioneers in film who brought us classics such as The Kid (1921), Gold Rush (1925), Modern Times (1936), and Great Dictator (1940). His many successes are still to this day considered masterpieces which he created, acted, directed, and edited. He had a brilliant eye for what the human mind was observing and he could make comedy out of almost anything. However, despite Chaplin's great sense of humor the recurrent theme in his life seems to be surrounded by sadness and loss where his escape was to help others feel a sense of joy. Chaplin is a brilliant cinematic story that has a fantastic cast and where the lead as Chaplin is managed brilliantly by Robert Downey Jr.. In addition, the story weaves in moments out of Chaplin's life where he got his ideas in an ingenious manner which displays the superb directing in the story. When the audience sees everything put together they will experience a dazzling cinematic experience."
Robert Downey, Jr. as you've never seen him before
Gina Marie Warswick | El Paso, TX | 05/23/2001
(3 out of 5 stars)
"The star of this film is the amazing replications of Chaplin's use of physical comedy and intense passion for filmmaking the "tramp" had for his craft. Robert Downey, Jr. literally steals the show away from such heavyweights as Anthony Hopkins and the film's director, Richard Attenborough. Though Attenborough, he himself an Oscar winning director, does some clever things to draw you into the world of Chaplin (making the film look old and distressed, using the same shakey "hand-cranking" speeds for action sequences, and use of moody, uneven lighting), his tempo for the film seems painfully slow at times, and at over two hours, the picture feels much longer. The film is packed with stars in small roles, as everyone plays second banana to Chaplin--Marisa Tomei, Milla Jovovich, David Duchovney, Dan Akroyd, Moira Kelly, and Geraldine Chaplin, just to name a few. The period accuracy is well done, and the acting is superb, however, the direction is heavy-handed--a major fault of Attenborough's other films, too, and leaves you feeling frustrated--just show more of Chaplin doing what he does best--making people laugh!To his credit, however, the director does show Chaplin as the social activist who had an FBI file close to 2,000 pages in length. The drama, at times, seemed a bit much for someone known for bringing joy to so many...perhaps, therein lies the irony of Chaplin's life. See this film to be educated, and see it to see Robert Downey, Jr. in top form in this Oscar nominated performance and ode to one of cinema's greatest artists who was the forerunner for such "control freaks" as Warren Beatty and Orson Wells. Writer, director, actor, producer, editor...Chaplin did it all!"
Downey at his best
Amanda M. Spear | Moncton, NB Canada | 10/24/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This is one of my fav flicks. Downey at his best, great score by John Barry which i listen to more than just once in a blue moon. i still can't get over Downey not winning the oscar, i was utterly depressed when Al took it home. Life isn't fair i suppose :)
Oh well but i totally recommend this movie. Watch it and get ready to fall in love with Robert and his portrayal of Chaplin."

Islamabad: Islamabad High Court has allowed former chief justice of Pakistan (CJP) Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry to retain the official bulletproof car for a few more days.
A two-member division bench also scraped the order of IHC's single-member bench which had asked the ex-CJP to surrender the car to the court by Dec 8.
Justice Siddiqui on Dec 2 said the bulletproof car should have been returned to the federal government after the IHC order of Jan 2014 had been set aside. He, however, had directed Justice Chaudhry to surrender the vehicle to the court by Dec 8.
An IHC division bench, headed by Justice Noorul Haq N. Qureshi, on May 11 this year had set aside the January 2014 order of the IHC but instead of deciding the fate of the vehicle or giving its possession to the federal government, it remanded the matter back to Justice Siddiqui with a direction to decide the case after hearing all the parties concerned.

happy new year, everyone.
i haven't blogged for a while because I figured you all were too busy drinking champagne to read my comments. But maybe i've been wrong and all that champagne makes my comments and anyone else's more interesting.
i've read loads of books during the interim. The library keeps calling me to return them. I will. I will.
i'll start with two negatives. i should have known better and i should not have finished kathy reichs' 'bones never lie.' i've read her dr, temperance brennan novels before. after all, she's written sixteen of them. and to me, all of them have the feeling of sitting in a lecture hall while someone enlightens me about forensic anthrolpology. it is cetainly an intersting subject, but i'd rather it be woven into the story or mixed with a little sex or humor. again we have a case or cases that go from charlotte to canada. reich knows what she is talking about. maybe you will care more than I did.
published by bantam books, the novel is 326 pages and sells for $27.00.
the surprise of my over-the-holidays reading was louise penny's 'the long way home.' i have read and loved her previous nine chief inspector gamache novels. And like all of her fans, i've been ready to retire (as gamache does in this novel) to the small candian village of three pines. but, oh my. three pines always had a touch of mysticism and everyone in it has always had a 'story.' in 'the long way home' this beautiful village seems more of a cover for a mental institution or some ten-step therapeutic place, the scenery continues to be beautiful, but where did the energy go?
published by minotaur books, the novel is 373 pages, and sells for $27.99.
happy new year to all. i won't be as cranky next submission!!!

Latest News
Playing golf by the book will take a while
The number of golf related books on store shelves tell you two things -- one, that golf is one of the most addling of all of life's endeavors and, two, golfers, being thusly addled, will buy anything.
How else to explain the publication of about 250 golf books per year, a figure I read awhile back?
I Googled golf books and learned that the website had received about 195 million hits. Figures. It's a sickness.
Swing need a fixup? Putter need a swift kick? You could look it up. Most books on the game are instructional -- how to grip the club, swing, putt, basic stuff. Putt Like The Pros. The 30-Second Golf Swing. Grip It And Rip It.
Need something a little less prosaic? Alter your mind with Visual Golf, The Inner Game Of Golf, Holographic Golf, Golf The Mind Game, Zen Golf, Fearless Golf, Strategic Golf, all about how the game can make you nuts and what you can do about it, maybe.
Exercise, rules, humor, equipment, history, attire, course design, great courses, great moments, great shots, language, biographies, clubs, caddies, gambling games, a pub or two, quotations collections, all of these have been written about.
There are novelty books, like Really Bad Swing Thoughts, How To Give Up Golf, Amazing But True Golf Facts (South African great Bobby Locke went through the 1945 season of competitive golf without a three-putt, covering 1,800 holes), comic-actor Leslie Nielsen's Stupid Little Golf Book and Bob Hope's Confessions Of A Hooker.
One chapter in Nielsen's book is entitled "The Eight Bad Shots In Golf And How To Make Them Work For You."
Hope wrote that his friend Jimmy Stewart couldn't play golf because he spoke so slowly, by the time he yelled "fore," the victim was already in an ambulance.
At last glance, I had in my shelves eight or ten books about the Augusta Masters, three or four about Tiger Woods, three or four about Ben Hogan, same with Jack Nicklaus, two or three about Bobby Jones, same with Arnold Palmer. Just because someone or something has been written about doesn't mean you can't write about them again.
My favorite golf book? Hard to say. Maybe The Greatest Game Ever Played by Mark Frost. Maybe Final Rounds by James Dodson. I liked The Legend of Bagger Vance by Steven Pressfield and everything Dan Jenkins has written. And, if you'll allow me a moment of immodesty, I loved Slow Dancing With Bobby Jones, even if I did write it.
