Great Indian Food! Best in GTA! Been going to Mount Everest for over 15 years! Have tried other Indian Restaurants but none can compare! Service is good and prices reasonable. I cannot praise Mr. Singh enough for his dedication in creating quality indian dishes. Butter Chicken is the best! Love the Naan bread and Samosas. Great vegetarian dishes too! We love curry and eat at the Mount Everest on a regular basis. I would highly recommend this Indian Restaurant! Ann
Great tasting food. Great service!
I come here all the time. I have yet to have anything that is not 100% fantastic. The food and the staff are always amazing. Highly recommended!
I tried it twice for takeout - first time, Biryani rice was not cooked properly and had no flavour. The second time, I ordered butter chicken, assuming that this is a dish that no Indian restaurant can screw up. Guess what - it was runny, cold, and lacked the basic spices you'd find in a jar of Patak's at your local grocery store.
I have lived in the Village for many years and figured it was about time that a friend and I go to Mount Everest Resteraunt as we both enjoy Indian cuisine a great deal . I felt like a sardine as they tried to squeeze as many tables into a small area as possible. I found that there were more bones in the food than meat and ALL the dishes tasted the same. I would not go back as I feel that we did not get our money's worth thats for sure. I would not recommend this place to anyone and amazed that they have been there for as long as they have been.
It's been a pleasure to be a regular customer here for years now. I've been to all the Indian places in the area, watched some of them come and go, but Mt. Everest remains for one good reason: It's simply the best. Mr. Singh (owner/head chef) is a very personable and pleasant man, who openly shows care and gratitude to all of his customers. And if you're a regular, he considers you like family. Also, this man is a culinary wizard. I have no idea how he makes such delicious food, but it's obviously not your standard Indian. He has been perfecting these recipes for years. I particularly recommend the "Subjee Narangabadai." Not sure if it's spelled right, and have fun pronouncing it, but trust me, order it. Simply delicious. Mr. Singh, you're the man.
Clearly the best indian cuisine in the GTA. I've been eating here for 5 years. The food is always fresh and delicious. The portions are fantastic; The Mt. Everest never disappoints. It's too bad their neighboring indian restaurant has to write anonymous fake and defamatory reviews. I'd welcome and email asking me to vouch for this establishment.
decent variety, service could be improved.
Highly recommened, atmosphere was great. We enjoyed it!
I took my wife here for our anniversary dinner, and must say that we were both impressed. Service was very quick, food was awesome. In the last few years, I have come to really enjoy Indian cuisine, and this was no let down, quite the opposite actually. It was the best Indian food I have ever had, and considering the price, you can not miss with Mount Everest. Highly recommended.
Really nice food, healthy, not too greasy, lots of beautiful flavors. I can't comment on the authenticity of Indian cuisine as I am not of Indian descent but in my view it was one of the best Indian meals I've had in a long time in Toronto or Ajax. The serving sizes are massive, we ordered an entree and 2 mains between the 2 of us and had left overs giving us another 3 meals out of it. Service was great too and food came out very promptly.
The place is small, you may have to wait an extra few minutes for your food as it is made fresh for you. WELL worth the wait, the staff & owner are always friendly and ready to please. We met some people there the other night from Haliburton whom drove in to this restaurant and said it was well worth the drive.
I decided to give this place a try after years of driving by, and was sorely disappointed. I decided to order in the restaurant and pick up my food in "20 minutes". Fair enough. They operate mainly as a buffet I believe, and there are maybe 10 items, but they all looked and smelled good. I come back and am greeted with the smalled paper bag I'd ever seen. My $12 order of butter chicken fit into a small styrofoam soup container. I asked about the rice, and she said it would be $3 extra. The buffet is $13 plus tax, and she expects me to pay $15 for butter chicken and rice? I ask if she's serious and that usually runny foods should come with rice, or at least let me know there was no rice included in the order. I tell the young lady at the front that it's no wonder this place is empty and that I will never return.
We went a short while ago and really enjoyed ourselves. It's this kinda affair where you go in and then you get what you want, from a series of heater tables. I wanna say buffet, but it's a lot classier than most buffets i've been to. Take my word, you just need to go in for yourself. Anyhow, we had a great time and the atmosphere was really nice too. The owner came out and even gave us some fresh nan bread too, which was just killer with all of the spicy sauces and curries - this is one place where you won't feel bad filling up on bread! Of course, old Stewie can't go to a nice place without making a horses' patoot of himself. When I was going for a victory lap with my dessert, I ladled a tangy, vinegary sauce over some of the jamoons (think timbits that are served in a sweet, liquory sauce. delicious!) and then told the waiter that I thought the custard had gone bad. I have no idea how he didn't laugh at me, but he told me that I just put Ranch salad dressing all over my dessert. I felt pretty stupid and my wife laughed and laughed. I gotta admit, it was pretty funny. But yeah, besides from that one dumb thing that I did we will totally be returning.
Lesley and I have been going to Mt Everest for the last 6 years. At least 3 times thru the menu. 80% of the entrees are the best examples of that choice you will ever find ( spiced hot ). Balti, Handi, Khari and Butter dishes are great. Our favorite meal after much experimenting is : assorted snacks, Paneer tika w/sauce (hot), Lamb Biriyani (hot) and special Naan. Also more food than you can eat.
Everything we've eaten there in the few visits we've had has been excellent. At the owner's urging, we tried the butter chicken (something neithter of us liked very much in the past) and fell in love with it. We keep trying something new at every visit, but the butter chicken is a great take-out for a Friday night!
Food is excellent!! Preparation takes a little bit longer because everything is made fresh when ordered and is well worth the wait!! Restaurant could use a little re-vamping but the service is excellent and we have had the owner come out on several occasions to make sure we were happy with our meals. This is my favourite Indian restaurant by far anywhere!!
My family has eaten at this restaurant about 8 times a year for the past seven years, both eat in and take out. We think it's one of the best Indian restaurants in the GTA. The restaurant is family run, and you will typically wait 30 minutes or more for main courses because they're made fresh. Just order some appetizers and Indian beer and enjoy your time!
I love this place. Have been going for over 2 years & know owners well. Food is always consistent and the two person dinner allows you to sample four different dishes for approx. $13.00 per person - can't beat the value. Small & quaint; if you don't get there early or call for reservations forget it. Authentic Indian food at its best!
the only thing I had a concern about was the Naan ..but then I managed to get the last piece, I have eaten here before and the Naan is delicious. I would consider the spice level as being fairly low(spicy items should be available on the buffet). Excellent place for quiet meal of excellent cuisine

Why is Knowledge Management important?
Stephen Bounds — Tue, 12/05/2009 - 15:03
UPDATE Nov 2015: If you are interested in an ongoing conversation about Knowledge Management and how to apply it, please check out our newly launched online magazine RealKM!
(Editor's Note: This document is based on an internal explanatory document developed for my employer's intranet. Comments and feedback on appropriateness and accuracy are welcomed.)
Knowledge Management (KM) is a discipline that improves the ability of organisations to solve problems better, adapt, evolve to meet changing business requirements, and survive disruptive changes such as staff turnover.
Knowledge Management recognises that organisations are a complex system made up of both the people that work for the organisation, and the processes, procedures and information systems that drive our actions.
The revolution in communications over the past 50 years (email, internet, telephone and fax) now allows people to talk directly to each other without the use of intermediaries such as managers or team leaders. This allows organisations to be more efficient by bringing together needed expertise and knowledge on demand.
However, with this new approach, knowledge gained and lessons learned are not always shared across the organisation. In other words, some people may know the solution to a particular problem, but the organisation as a whole may not be aware. This can lead to loss of critical knowledge when staff leave, and for inefficient practices to remain despite better solutions being available.
Modern organisations need to build a new culture that promotes knowledge sharing and constant learning while preserving and recording appropriate information. This is essential in order for corporate knowledge to be effectively retained and enhanced.
The key objective of Knowledge Management is to enhance knowledge processing. Organisations will have realised this objective when they:
- correctly identify problems that need solving as they occur
- have robust information location and retrieval channels to enhance individual decision making
- embrace effective knowledge creation processes
- ensure that created knowledge is shared with and integrated across the whole of the organisation
Methods that can help to achieve these goals include:
- making better use of collaboration and communication tools
- creating and promoting internal communities of practice
- fostering the identity of virtual teams
- using KM techniques such as Before Action Reviews (BAR), After Actions Reviews (AAR), pre-mortems, and retrospects during change activities
- encouraging the use of a common language (eg corporate glossary, classification and/or taxonomies)
Benefits of implementing effective Knowledge Management include:
- fully and accurately informed employees, clients, and stakeholders
- improved team effectiveness and delivery of outcomes
- an organisational culture devoted to continuous improvement
- an organisation that is resilient and adaptable in the face of change
Our expertise in complex systems analysis, combined with a deep understanding of technology and modern, agile management and leadership techniques makes knowquestion uniquely positioned to find strategic solutions to your tough problems. Contact us today.

I like a lot of this, and I like the way you drew it out of Ray Sims's 43 definitions (as you described on the ActKM list a couple of days ago). Obviously I don't know your organisation, but as phrased it wouldn't work in mine because it isn't clear what all this means for individuals.
As an employee in this organisation, what can I expect to see that is different as a result of this KM approach? What will be the obligations on me? What benefits will I get? How will my work be supported (or challenged)?
You also talk of a "new approach. " Is there a risk that people might contrue this to mean that things are currently not working properly? Would they agree with that, or would it be a surprise to them?
Stephen Bounds — Fri, 03/07/2009 - 22:32
Hi Mark,
Thanks for your comments. I agree that what I have written isn't something that you can take to employees and expect them to "get it". However, that's quite deliberate.
What I have tried to do with this exercise is establish principles of Knowledge Management that can be used as the basis for an organisational strategy.
Using my preferred 7 step method for creating strategy, what I have described in this post is the Objectives, Benefits and Principles for Knowledge Management.
I have not described the Strategies, Responsibilities and Goals, since these must be tailored to suit the specific organisational context.
I don't know if you plan to attend KM Australia this year, but I will be presenting ... how to develop practical strategy and tactics from a principles-based KM framework such as this one will be the main focus of my talk.
Andrew Hawadi (not verified) — Fri, 20/01/2012 - 17:23
Hi Steve,
Thank you very much for this article. I wanted to ask you if you have any information about Knowledge propagation in an Organisation from a BI (Business Intelligence point of view).
Anonymous (not verified) — Mon, 29/07/2013 - 14:41
Thanks for your condensed article, I was woncering if you have article regarding knowledge management in bureuratic system like Foreign Service Office. The case, obstacles and references.
thank you
Stephen Bounds — Mon, 29/07/2013 - 16:03
Hi JKH,
I don't have anything specifically relevant. You might want to refer to the Irish Foreign Affairs case study (http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1543873) for one example. That said, as with the linked paper above, most efforts I've seen within Foreign Affairs agencies focus on KM as a technology change exercise, instead of a holistic KM initiative.
If you're interested in discussing further, send me through your details on http://knowquestion.com.au/contact and any specific questions you have.

Hardcover with dustjacket, the book is 300 x 230 mm (portrait) comprising 496 pages. It is generously illustrated with more than 400 photographs and is printed to the most exacting standards on 130 gsm matt art paper. Biographical content spans the history of College from 1855 to 2005.
When the eminent South African academic and politician, J H Hofmeyr, was invited to address the boys of St Andrew's College in 1929 he said, 'I hope that you will always be true to the boy in you.' The wisdom of this statement is profound because whoever you are, whatever your station in life, there still resides in you the experience of your youth.
It is because of the boys who lived their formative years at St Andrew's College that this book has been written – to honour a particular time in their lives and the extraordinary loyalty that they continue to demonstrate towards their school.
The Boy in You vividly captures the life-story of one of South Africa's great historic schools. It is an educational biography of a fascinating and enduring institution. Challenged since 1855 by the harsh and fluctuating environment of the Eastern Cape and South Africa, many of the headmasters, staff and boys of this boarding school have played significant roles both nationally and internationally.
The book is far more than a formal history of a school – it breathes life into succeeding generations of Andrean boys and staff over 150 years. It is a human drama worth the telling. 'College' is a place of profound memory and belonging, one which remains vivid in the landscape of the heart.
Dr Marguerite Poland weaves a compelling narrative of boyhood that is at once universal and particular. The school's story reflects several years of meticulous archival research as well as hundreds of living memories from Old Andreans – both in writing and in face-to-face interviews.
The book is a towering monument to the school – as lofty as the Clock Tower which is such a hallmark of the College.
'Researched with a scholar's passion for accuracy; told with the skill of a novelist at the height of her powers; this is a riveting account of one of the most colourful educational institutions in South Africa. Indeed this is far and away the best 'biography' yet written - including its shadow sides - of any of the great schools or universities whose work, for a hundred years and more, made possible the South Africa of today.'
– Francis Wilson OA, Emeritus Professor of Economics, University of Cape Town; Chairman of Council University of Fort Hare.
'In reading The Boy in You I have learned infinitely more about College than I had ever known and am all the more proud of being an OA…the story of this historic educational institution and the role it played in the young history of South Africa makes for a commanding and fascinating read'
– Kennedy Maxwell OA, Headboy 1957, Rhodes Scholar 1963 and President of the Chamber of Mines 1987.
'We are blessed to have an author of the calibre of Marguerite Poland to write a biography of College; we are fortunate to be part of a school that has thrived in such interesting times'.
– David Wylde OA, 17th Headmaster St Andrew's College, and Champion of The Boy in You.
'The Boy in You is like an Eastern Cape aloe in flower: steadfast, robust, beautiful and evocative'.
– Tim Nuttall OA, previous Deputy Headmaster at St Andrew's College.

In brief
How can you protect yourself from respiratory infections?
Cold and flu viruses are spread through droplets: When someone who is infected coughs or sneezes, droplets containing the viruses are released into the air. The viruses also get onto your hands or the tissue when you blow your nose.
These viruses can then pass to other people or objects. They are easily spread from person to person wherever a lot of people touch the same objects, like doorknobs or handrails on the subway or a bus. The viruses are also more likely to spread if people come into direct contact with each other, for instance by shaking hands or hugging.
One of the most effective things you can do to protect yourself and others from these viruses is stop them from spreading. More specifically:
- Wash your hands and your children's hands frequently. Because children don't pay as much attention to personal hygiene and because their immune system isn't yet fully developed, they're more likely to become infected – and to pass the infection on. Normal soap is good enough. There's no proof that special antibacterial or antiviral soaps are better. But when you wash your hands, it's important to wash them thoroughly with soap for at least 20 seconds and then rinse them under running water. The temperature of the water isn't as important as washing your hands long enough.
- Don't touch your face with your hands. You are likely to become infected if you touch your mouth or nose with your hands after touching something that has germs on it.
- Do not drink out of cups or bottles that others have used.
If you are ill yourself, you can do the following things to help protect others:
- Cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze, preferably with a paper tissue.
- Throw away used tissues immediately and do not leave them lying around. Wash your hands thoroughly after blowing your nose. Use disposable paper tissues.
- Avoid shaking hands with other people, or hugging or kissing other people.

Winona's Twice-Weekly Newspaper Since 1971. Click here to Advertise in the Winona Post.
After reading some letters opposing the installation of a new set of power lines, some comments need to be made.
One letter writer stated that there is no need for more power for our region. If that were the actual case, why then has my neighbor, who has a controlled electric supply contract, been unable to run his electric furnace this December? We need more electric power on our grid now and there will be an ever increasing need for power as more houses are built and more new electric appliances are added to houses.
Perhaps we may see electric powered autos in the future. Where will the power come from to enable an electric auto owner to charge the battery that energizes the vehicle?
Last spring in western Minnesota, I saw several electric generating windmill fields under development which seemed to be ready to be hooked up to a developing electric transmission system.
The argument that the transmission lines would have to cross the Upper Mississippi Wildlife Refuge and be detrimental to it is ridiculous. The Upper Mississippi Wildlife Refuge is a governmental established set of boundaries and governed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
The river has highway and railroad bridges and locks and dams which cross the river. A set of power lines crossing the river will be no more detrimental than the other utilities.
It is doubtful that the sunfish and carp residing in the water of the refuge would be bothered by power transmission lines. Large flocks of migrating waterfowl fly at a level high enough that there is doubt if they would be flying near the transmission lines. Those geese that nest on my waterfowl pond have no trouble avoiding either power lines or the trees along the edge of the pond as they fly in and out of the pond.
It would be interesting to ask any number of individuals in the northeast U.S. who have been without power for over a week if they would favor a better set of transmission lines.
Fortunately, over many years Tri-County Electric has been very conscientious about trimming trees and brush in an ongoing program which helps reduce downed power lines. They are foresightful enough to forecast an ever-increasing need for more reliable electric power. They should be congratulated for vision of the future electric needs of our region.
I have been impressed by the dependability of the electric power provided to our rural household. Over the nine years we've lived in this electric service area and through floods, snowstorms and extreme wind conditions, we've seldom been without power. This type of service gives a great deal of credibility to their requests for a power grid expansion.
Our online forms will help you through the process. Just fill in the fields with your

I'm just not over S'mores anything yet. In fact, I haven't had enough. I think I need to go on a camping trip and really just get it out of my system. Until then I made this awesome pie to get me through my late night summer cravings.
I used PEScience Select protein powders to sweeten things up without having to add a bunch of sugar. It's seriously the greatest replacement for most flours and sugars when you are baking light. 🙂
Get 30% your entire PEScience order using my code: PBCHOCO
Make this recipe vegan by using Vegan Protein Powder.
Scroll to the bottom for nutritional info.
Please PIN this recipe if you love it!
- 1 Box Cannellini Beans (rinsed)
- 1/4 c Natural Peanut Butter (I used Nut N' More)
- 1 Scoop Snickerdoodle Protein Powder
- 1 tbsp. Molasses
- 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 c Full Fat Coconut Milk (place the can in the refrigerator over night and scape the cream off of the top)
- 1 Scoop Milk Chocolate Protein Powder
- 2 tbsp. Cocoa Powder
- 2 tbsp. Coconut Oil
- 1 tbsp. Coconut Oil
- 1 tbsp. Maple Syrup
- 2 tbsp. Cocoa Powder
Pre-heat oven to 350f. Place all crust ingredients into a food processor or high performing blender and pulse until smooth. Press the crust into the bottom and the sides of an 8×8 inch round pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 6 minutes. It will seem undercooked but will taste amazing–trust. Add the coconut milk to a mixer and whip it until it's fluffy (about 30 seconds) add protein powder and cocoa powder. Slowly add melted coconut oil while the mixer is on. Spread your chocolate filling evenly over your crust. Add your next layer of marshmallow dip. For the final chocolate layer: Melt coconut oil and maple syrup together and then mix in cocoa powder. Pour over marshmallow dip and place in the fridge for 2 hours to harden. Enjoy!

As soon as I get out of Houston, I stop to fill up on gas on my way to Arkansas towards Cleveland, (Texas), I am violently stricken by the ambient poverty, again. Tanned white faces that look bewildered that remind me of images of the Great Depression in the last century. The heat is overwhelming. I clearly envision where the term "rednecks" comes from. Take this redhead kid for example, pushing carts in full sunlight on the supermarket's parking, his skin is not really made for this weather.
As I'm coming back from the gas station, a man pulls out a gun from his trunk and walks decisively towards the supermarket. My first instinct is to start the car and leave as fast as possible. Then I realized that there was a large stand of guns and ammunition in this store, and that he's probably just bringing in his gun for repair. Billboards rhythmically appear on the road with more or less aggressive messages in the name of Jesus, where we are summoned to "repent" and "confess", or better, and better yet, to "submit". With the same nagging regularity, but in an alternating manner, other billboards that are no less aggressive promote mega "adult stores".
Bumper stickers on the back of cars are smaller but equally present. I find myself fascinated by this man driving a huge black 4×4. He's old and white and has pink skin, well shaven, Rayban's shades, his arm lazily hanging out of his window displays watch and large gold rings.
At times, there is an eruption of incongruous objects. Take for example this horse pulled by a truck in a true wire cage that seems to stand still in the middle of the cars in motion. Then, comes another one filled with real plastic, life-sized, fake cows.
In the kingdom of cars, tinted windows to shield oneself against the sun (as well), people obviously meet less, all they do is literally cross each other. We don't see who's who inside the cars.
And then, of course, there are these vast landscapes…. Europe on steroids!
These skies, which open onto endless industrial plants, such as these oil refineries. Violence even seems to be in the weather, which goes from the brutal heat to short and nervous bouts of rain. The light which cuts across like a knife is rougher and less golden than in Louisiana.
I am having a great time listening to the satellite radio that came with the rental car. But, not just any soundtrack will do. Jazz, for example, does not work with these landscapes. It's almost too intelligent or too sophisticated and too urban for the abrupt prevalent simplicity I see in Texas. It will not work with the sheer masculinity of this black biker with broad shoulders, a bandana on his head, who is arriving on his Harley as a knight in front of a castle, near the sanitized downtown of Shreveport.

10th ANNIVERSARY
Cloudy skies and chilly seas greeted the 2013 Penguin Plunge participants. Four hundred and ninety-four (494) penguins braved the 52.4F degree water/54F degree air. This is the first year the Penguin Plunge participation has not doubled, with this year's total about 200 less than last year's. Thoughts on where the missing penguins might have been included: weather concerns or the flu epidemic. They may also have chosen to join the estimated 2000 spectators who cheered the penguins to the water. Once again, the Crystal Coast Hospice House was the beneficiary and received $7000 in charitable contributions from the penguins and the spectators.

In my humble opinion, one of the most critical features offered in the Brightcove Studio is smart playlists. I also feel that smart playlists are often overlooked and underutilized. I am going to do my best in this post to shed some light on how smart playlists work and how they are best used. Some knowledge of how to build smart playlists is assumed so if smart playlists are new to you, have a look at the general knowledge document here.
First off, Smart Playlists have two key purposes. They are for both internal video management and external video publishing and distribution. Let's take a look at the internal management piece first.
As video projects evolve, they tend to become larger and more complex. This means that all of a sudden, you may have many types and categories of video content. How does one make sense of all these various categories within a single Brightcove account? Smart playlists of course! Let's say you work for a company that makes high quality sprockets. When you first starting using video, all you had was an 'about us' video on the homepage of the website to educate potential customers on the merits of this great company. Now your company uses video for everything! Marketing videos, product videos, support videos, investor videos, internal corporate communications and internal training videos just to name a few. How will we ever keep all of this content organized?
What's in a name?
Step one is developing a straightforward naming convention. For the above example, I would sort all video content by two main categories: content intended for internal viewing just within the company and then all external, public facing content. Every video that gets uploaded should be tagged with either 'internal' or 'external' to keep the content separated. The next category would probably be describing what type of content the video is specifically. We could have tags like 'marketing', 'product' and 'support'. There could be even further classification within these categories. For example, maybe 'marketing' is broken out further into 'PR', 'conferences' and 'testimonials'. You get the picture.
Now it's time to build some Smart Playlists. Create playlists for all the categories you need. For the internal and external examples, you would most likely set the tag settings to 'contain one or more' so you would be gathering all videos that have that tag. For the more specific categories, you can create much more targeted smart playlists. For example, you could create a testimonials playlist that was set to grab only videos that 'contained all' tags 'external', 'marketing' and 'testimonials'. This playlist would only gather up content that contained all three of the specified tags.
Once your naming convention is created, you need only to ensure that all new content is tagged appropriately moving forward and voila, your content will always be neat and organized.
Automating the publishing process
So now on to the the second key function of smart playlists and the most important of the two: easy publishing and distributing of your video content. As your video project evolves, so will the amount of places you publish video. In the above example, we started out publishing one video to our homepage and now we have players everywhere. There is a video player on our support page, a video player dedicated to the product section of the website, an internal video portal for corporate communications , a Facebook player and so on. Now when uploading new content, it has become quite a task simply figuring out where all this new content goes. Enter smart playlists.
When building out your video players, use smart playlists. Expanding on the example from earlier, you could use most of the categories we have already created. For example, for your video player that sits on your investor page, you need only to add your 'Investor' smart playlist. Then, every time a new piece of investor content is uploaded, all that is needed to publish the video is to have the appropriate tags added. Once the 'investor' tag is added, the Investor Content smart playlist will collect that video and the video will be automatically added to the Investor player on the website. As you can see, this is a vast improvement of workflow over trying to manually add new videos to the correct players. The other benefit is that you can have videos published to multiple players simultaneously. The act of adding a single tag to a video could publish it on literally hundreds of video players across dozens of domains. As your video project continues to scale, you can see how smart playlists can become an integral part of your work flow.
For more information about playlists, have a look here. It can be a matter of preference whether to use the smart playlists versus the manual playlists but typically the more content you are uploading, the more time you could save with an automated publishing work flow.Good luck and happy publishing.

Arrive in Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon before 1975. It is the economic center and the largest city in the country, bustling with life – just watch a scooter go by with a family of five hanging on. Its many markets sell everything from silk to spices and the city is dotted with temples. During your stay here, you will visit the Cu Chi Tunnels situated 40 kilometers/25 miles outside the city. They are an elaborate underground system of tunnels and chambers spread out over 240 kilometers/150 miles which is mind boggling as these tunnels which were built in the 1940's and used again in the 1960's to provide refuge from the foreign enemy, housed hundreds of families and even contained hospitals underground. .In the city, begin with Reunification Hall, formerly the Presidential Palace followed by the History Museum with its Vietnamese antiquities. Take in the Notre Dame Cathedral built by the French during their occupation and the uniquely designed Post Office.
Next up is the Mekong Delta situated in South West Vietnam and is where the mighty Mekong River empties into the South China Sea by way of a network of many small tributaries. It is a land of flat flood plains and a few hills with green fields and sleepy villages. The villages are generally only reached by river or canal rather than by road. It is also known as the Rice Basket of Vietnam. Travelling by road from Ho Chi Minh City, visit Can Tho with its floating markets, pagodas, temples and happy smiling inhabitants. A boat cruise will take you to a number of typical delta villages to introduce you to the .lifestyles of the local people.
Fly the next day to Hue, the former capital of Vietnam, located on the enigmatically named Perfume River. Here sail down the river on a short cruise arriving at the Thien Mu Pagoda. Also visit the impressive burial grounds of former Emperors and the Citadel modeled on the Beijing Imperial Palace.
Drive the following morning to Hoi An, a UNESCO world heritage site. It is a historical port where the old town is a maze of interesting narrow streets and alleyways. Here you will have a walking tour to see its many galleries, tailor shops and cafes.
The next day is at leisure to explore Hoi An on your own.
Then fly to Hanoi and immediately travel by road to Halong Bay region staying in Halong City for overnight. It is a UNESCO world heritage site and quite rightly so as it is a natural wonder consisting of some 1600 islands in a series of bays, most uninhabited. Each of the islands is topped with jungle vegetation. The topography is one of limestone rocks of various sizes and shapes rising spectacularly out of the sea.
There is no doubt that the best way to enjoy Halong Bay is to take a cruise. During your morning cruise, you will explore the islands, discover floating villages, and see peaks with panoramic views of the area, lagoons, caves and excellent sandy beaches. Have a seafood lunch on board. Afterwards, drive to Hanoi. In the evening, enjoy a performance of a water puppet show.
Hanoi is a mix of east and west due to its wide boulevards and French influences. The next morning visit the charming and lovely One Pillar Pagoda, the Temple of Literature dating back to the 11th Century and the uniquely designed Opera House. Finally, take a stroll through the ancient quarter called the 36 Streets all traditionally named after artisans and craftsmen

Predictably, the United Nations Human Rights Council decided to launch a commission of inquiry on Wednesday into alleged war crimes committed by Israel during its current fighting in Gaza. And if you're wondering—yes, it was a Palestinian-drafted resolution.
China, Russia, Latin American, African, Arab, and Muslim countries supported the resolution, while European countries on the 46-member council abstained. The United States was the only member state to vote against it.
"The decision today by the HRC is a travesty and should be rejected by decent people everywhere," the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office stated in response. "Rather than investigate Hamas, which is committing a double war crime by firing rockets at Israeli civilians while hiding behind Palestinian civilians, the HRC calls for an investigation of Israel, which has gone to unprecedented lengths to keep Palestinian civilians out of harm's way, including by dropping leaflets, making phone falls and sending text messages."
Israel's Justice Minister wasn't having any of it either. Via Weasel Zippers (and Google translate):
I have [four] words to say about the decision of the UN human rights council – see if I care!
We will keep on making decisions for the safety of Israeli citizens according to our moral compass, the IDF will fight the terror and keep on doing the most to avoid harming innocents, and you [written plural] will keep on encourage the terror – because that is exactly what your decision is doing.
I'll leave you with this photo of the day:
Oh dear. And that's before @JohnKerry's meeting with @netanyahu. Caption competition anyone? #israel #Gaza pic.twitter.com/911CXJOdRY

Facebook's iPhone app is now sporting features first seen in the company's standalone Messenger app: now you can swipe left from anywhere inside the app to access your friends and instantly begin chatting.
With version 5.1 of Facebook's iPhone app, which just launched today, you can also add friends to the top of your favorites list and easily share multiple photos. It also adds support for Facebook's intriguing Gifts feature, which allows you to send real gifts to your friends.
It was only a matter of time before Facebook simplified chatting within its app, even though it's now accomplishing the same thing as the Messenger application. The new chat interface also lets you easily see if your friends are active.
I haven't had a chance to try out Facebook's Gift service yet, but as VentureBeat's Jolie O'Dell has explored in-depth, it's a fascinating way for Facebook users to easily bridge their online and real-life personas. We can also thank Facebook's speedy new app development cycle for seeing an update so quickly after Facebook completely revamped its iPhone app.

DAY 4 – TALKSHOPS, PANELS, & CLOSING – Sun., April 3 – NBWC 2016
SPECIAL! Register for two (2) Talkshops and receive %15 off ticketed price!
Enter Promo Code: like2talkshop
Session I
Talkshops: 10 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.:
- Book Proposals: Regina Brooks – Room B2008- Norma B. Johnson Lecture Hall
If you have an idea for a book or have already written one but now you have to find an agent or editor, you'll need a book proposal. This workshop is designed to walk you step by step through the book proposal development process. It is designed to help you understand each section of the proposal and why it's meaningful to the publishers and the people that will ultimately bring you book to life.
- Poetry: Keisha-Gaye Anderson – Room 1023
This talkshop will explore how memory—actual, imagined and re-imagined—is used in African American poetics to witness, communicate and construct collective realities, while also serving as a call to activism and social change. Through close examination of language, structure, form and other devices used within selected poems from the African American literary tradition, workshop participants will become familiar with approaches to this craft that focus on powerfully commemorating, documenting, and witnessing subjective and collective struggle endemic to the black experience. Participants will employ this understanding in creating their own poems for sharing with other workshop participants.
3. 10:30 a.m.–11:30 a.m.- Fiction: Victor LaValle – Room B1025 **Time changed from noon.
You want to write a novel, but as you've learned easier said than done. While inspiration and enthusiasm are great they don't help you figure out how to organize all those pages you've written. We'll discuss basic questions about how novels are structured, how to map out the motivations of your characters, how to identify (or create) a good antagonist, how to create a dramatically interesting narrative for the reader to follow and more. This is going to be a talk about the mechanics of a novel, nuts-and-bolts stuff.
Session II
4. 12:00 p.m.––2:30 p.m. – AALBC Publishing Workshop – Room: B2008- Norma B. Johnson Lecture Hall
Workshop on fundamentals dealing with various aspects of the publishing process, focusing on practical elements such as editing, promotion, book production, distribution presented by AABLC (African American Literature Book Club) with Troy Johnson, Carol Taylor, and Earl Cox. Visit them at aalbc.com.
Location: Founders Auditorium
12:00 –1:15 p.m.
- "Creative Writing Programs and Writers of Color: Current and Future Trends"
This roundtable on creative writing programs and workshops is an outgrowth of the essays, conversations, and concerns of writers of color in MFA programs and writing workshops.
Very few writing workshops focus on writers of color and both Junot Diaz and Honoree Fannone Jeffers have recently written essays on the lack of diversity in these programs and workshops. Students and workshops participants in creative writing programs make up a part of our audience. The discussion will focus on topics such as: Do MFA programs and writing workshops offer safe spaces for writers of color and are writers of color marginalized in these programs and workshops?; and how can we address these concerns in MFA programs and writing workshops?
Moderator: Donna Hill
Panelists: Meena Alexander, Victor LaValle, and Mariahadessa Ekere Tallie
1:30 p.m.–2:45 p.m.
- "Black Writers in the Digital Age"
African-American writers have faced many hurdles in getting their works published. While the Digital Age, or New Media Age, has presented new outlets to submit works, what rewards and risks do the Digital Age offer Black writers? Has the Digital Age broadened the readership of works by Black writers? What are some challenges Black writers face in the new information age? Panelists will explore and examine these questions.
Moderator: Akiba Solomon
Panelists: Paul Miller a.k.a. *DJ Spooky, *Farai Chideya, *ReShonda Tate Billingsley, *Johnny Temple
3 p.m.–4:15 p.m.
- "Shaping Memories: The Odyssey to Adulthood"
This panel will address the various themes and moral values captured at historical moments of time in the journey from youth to adulthood. The novels and memoirs by these authors cross several genres and attract a cross-generation of readers.
Moderator: Cathie Wright-Lewis
Panelists: Coe Booth, *Breena Clarke, *D. Watkins, and *Michael Datcher
4:30 p.m.–6 p.m.
- A Conversation with Michael Eric Dyson and Khalil Gibran Muhammad,
"Writing Race, Embracing Difference"
In an essay titled "Writing Race in America," which appeared in the "Chronicle of Higher Education," on March 10, 2014, David Wright, a Black writer and associate professor of creative writing at the University of Illinois, Urbana, argues that creative writing teachers should not allow their students to avoid the difficult subject of race. Wright's argument is based on the premise that race is socially constructed, is very much present in America, and that contrary to what people may assert about living in a postracial society, we live in a fully racial one. This premise guides the conversation that will be held between Dr. Michael Eric Dyson and Dr. Khalil Gibran Muhammad.
