Chef Dominique Ansel—described as both "the most feted pastry chef in the world" and a "culinary Van Gogh"—opened the Dominique Ansel Bakery Japan in Ginza's Mitsukoshi department store on March 29 of this year.
Named by Business Insider as one of its Most Innovative People Under 40, French-born Ansel opened his first shop in New York in 2011 and was quickly recognized for his innovation and creativity in the pastry world.
Perhaps his most famous contribution to the genre is the Cronut, a croissant-doughnut hybrid that was unveiled at Ansel's New York bakery in 2013 and was lauded by Time magazine as one of the best inventions of the year.
Ansel has a bakery in London and opened his first Japan outlet in Tokyo's Omotesando district in June 2015.
The Journal talked to Ansel about the challenges and inspirations presented by the Japanese market.
Why did you choose Japan for your newest outlet?
Japan is somewhere that has always been inspiring to me—the level of dedication and respect that people have for food and for food traditions is unlike anywhere else. I've always been amazed by the attention to detail and the level of craftsmanship in the food here, how there are people who spend decades of their lives perfecting a single thing.
How much time did you spend researching Japan? What were your conclusions?
Japan is somewhere that's been on my mind for years—a dream of mine—and I always hoped that someday we would get there. The Omotesando shop was our very first international location, and we did quite of lot of research and spent a lot of time planning before it all came to life. The culture, the food scene, local tastes, learning how to work with all new ingredients, even the flour and butter are so different than what we're used to in New York. There are so many bakeries in Japan, but I wanted to create a next-generation bakery, one that celebrates the new generation of chefs and pushes forward with creativity, rather than model it after the more old-school French-style bakeries that are quite common in Japan.
For us, Omotesando is our SoHo, a really beautiful neighborhood where we greet our neighbors each day, and also people from all over Japan and around the world. We're on a quieter street, just off the main road, and the shop is within its own standalone building—an entire three-story shop with a bakery on the main level, seated café on the second, and our kitchens on the third.
What have been the biggest challenges opening in Tokyo?
Just being far away from the team, and 12 or 13 hours ahead, was something we quickly had to adapt to. I always want to be connected to our team, so we make sure to speak in the early mornings and in the evenings every day so we can keep on moving.
What are some of the joys of working here?
Our team is incredible. Most of our team has been with us since day one. That's what matters most in the end—that you surround yourself with a group of people who are as passionate and dedicated about what we do as you are, and have the talent and skill to maintain quality. And the produce and quality of ingredients in Japan is unlike any other. That Hokkaido milk! And all the fruits and vegetables. I've tried so many new kinds of citrus alone that we just don't even have access to in the United States. It really helps us to get creative when it comes to developing new recipes and ideas.
Why do you enjoy your job so much?
It's a chance for me to express myself and to tell a story through food, and it challenges me to continue creating and pushing forward. And, at the end of the day, it's about creating something that makes people happy. When I see someone eating one of our pastries—with a smile on their face—it makes all of this worth it.
In what ways are the products you make here different?
What's important for us, in each city that we open in, is that it's not just a simple cut-and-paste. It's not just a carbon copy or a focus on one product. We take care in developing a unique menu and a space that really speaks to that place. And while we do have a few signature items from New York on our menus in Omotesando and Ginza, the majority of the menus are dedicated to each location, with new creations that aren't available anywhere else, inspired by local ingredients and traditions—items like our Square Watermelon Cake at Ginza, with pistachio raspberry ganache and watermelon lime gelée.
In what ways are Japanese and US consumers different?
I think in many ways, our guests in Japan and in the United States are actually quite similar—they are curious, just like I am, and always wondering and anticipating what's next. That really challenges us and inspires us. As for their tastes, we dialed back on the sweetness levels in our recipes for Japan and, in doing that, it led us to rethink our recipes in the United States and reduce sugar levels there, too.
Are you utilizing local flavors and ingredients?
More than 40 percent of our Omotesando menu is dedicated to items created just for the shop, inspired by local ingredients and traditions, like our Mr. Roboto Melonpan, filled with custard, or our Oden Buche de Noel, which we made during the holidays. It's been about two years since we opened in Japan, and we've learned that our guests are really excited about these exclusive-to-Japan creations inspired by Japan and Japanese ingredients. So, for the new Ginza shop, more than half of the menu is not available anywhere else. A few of my favorites are the Pull-Apart Blossom Cookie, made of rose honey tuile filled with lychee cream, and our Black Kokuto Sugar DKA [Dominique's Kouign Amann]—a version of our classic DKA, a flaky caramelized croissant—but with kokuto sugar from Okinawa for that extra depth and richness in flavor. It's delicious.
What Japanese ingredients do you particularly enjoy working with?
The milk and butter! And all the fresh produce that you don't have access to in the United States—incredibly fragrant and flavorful fruits. In the beginning, it was interesting to learn about all the intricacies of the dairy and the flour in Japan, how we had to adjust certain recipes to account for changes in fat content in the milk or how the flour is aged, for example.
Do you have plans for another outlet in Japan in the future?
Not at the moment, since we just opened the shop in Ginza. We will be opening our first restaurant this fall, in Los Angeles, so I am excited about that.

Donor Assisted Reproduction
Donor Embryo, Egg Donor or Sperm Donor Recipients Online Sulphur Springs
I provide online and in person assessments for my North Texas clients (although Texas clients are welcome to do an online session as well!).
I am a parent via third party reproduction options via California Conceptions embryo program myself, so I know all too well what this process and assessment feels like!
Intended parents are encouraged by their doctor to attend counseling prior to an egg or sperm donation procedure.
I provide assessments and reports for couples who are encouraged to attend a session or two before beginning egg, sperm or embryo donation/adoption options for infertility.
These sessions are meant to help you discuss and process the issues surrounding emotional considerations of choosing and deciding to use egg, sperm, embryo donation or the potential of a gestational carrier or surrogate.
You are welcome to meet with Lauren in person in the Dallas area for your session to discuss egg, embryo or sperm donation use for fertility, or you can also meet with us online via Skype nationwide for third party reproduction counseling sessions.
Online sessions for egg or embryo donor counseling are very easy to schedule and you may find the wait time to be much shorter than finding someone locally in your area!
Third-party reproduction is a wonderful family-building option for many people, especially when you find yourself at the end of a long road of infertility.
The decision to consider this option is often filled with many questions about donor selection, how to handle psychological issues regarding disclosure, confidentiality, and sharing this information with the child, family, and friends.
Because this is not strictly a medical decision, many couples and individuals greatly benefit from a counseling consultation with an experienced counselor in reproductive medicine and infertility as well as personal experience in both areas.
In addition, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) recommends all those interested in pursuing third-party reproduction have a supportive counseling consultation prior to beginning this family-building option.
I know this starts to sound redundant, but I've walked this road as well.
After IVF failed, our adoption reversed and our oldest daughter was stillborn, I still stood in the chasm of unknowing HOW we would become parents of a living child, while also knowing I "had no eggs left!".
So we chose California Conceptions, a double donor program in California to grow our family. Our first living, breathing "we finally are parents" baby was our son born via embyro donation.
I can offer support, education, guidance, and resources including ASRM Recommended Counseling Topics for Intended Parent Egg or Embryo Donation.
Some of those topics can include:
- Readiness to build a family through egg/sperm donation
- Grieving for the biological child (not passing on family traits and medical history, etc.)
- Preparing to cycle with Donor IVF and an outside party
- Understanding the IVF cycle process and syncing your cycle with another person
- Finding the right egg donor agency
- Psychological preparation for third-party reproduction
- Important considerations for donor selection
- Open vs Closed Relationships with Donors
- Decisions about anonymous donors versus known donors
- What are information release and identity release donors and what is right for you?
- Stress management strategies for coping while trying to become pregnant
- How to reduce anxiety about treatment options
- Risks with using an Egg, Sperm or Embryo Donor
- Finding out who might meet egg donor requirements
- Secrecy/confidentiality/openness – decisions patients make about who, how, when, and what to tell in regard to third-party reproduction
- What we have learned from other families formed through egg or sperm donation
- Explaining third-party reproduction to your child (what children understand at different developmental ages and stages)
Support for single parents and support organizations
Issues in being the biological, not genetic, mother with egg or embryo donation
Issues in parenting as a father after using sperm donation or embryo donation
Differences and similarities in parenting for the non-genetic parent
Gaining support from family, friends, co-workers, and other family with third party reproduction
- Supportive articles, books, support groups, online groups and websites
Questions that many people begin to ask as they consider using a gestational carrier, egg/sperm donation or embryo donation include:
- What are our best options considering our finances when choosing an egg donor vs embryo donation?
- How do we choose an appropriate egg or embryo donor?
- What role will the donor have in our lives, if any?
- Should we tell our child about his/her donor conception?
- Will I feel like a child conceived through donor options isn't really mine?
- I am upset about not having a bio child. Is that ok?
- Should we tell our family members about using a donor?
- How do we deal with questions from others?
- What if this treatment doesn't work?
- Will my child be upset with me for choosing to conceive this way?
When should I consider talking to you once I've become a parent by egg or embryo donation?
You may discover that you meet with a counselor once or twice before your intended fertility treatments and things are going smoothly.
You achieve that long awaited pregnancy and you may find yourself struggling to connect.. 8-9 months later, a baby (or babies!) are born and you may be unsure why you keep looking for your mom's eyes or your Aunt Edna's nose.
A few years may even pass and you find yourself unsure how to answer at doctor's appointments or at the playground about your child and why they don't have the same color hair or eyes.
All of these are completely normal feelings and moments that may catch you off guard.
You are welcome to come in, or meet with me on Skype, to discuss these experiences and how to honor all of your emotions and navigate the parenthood experience after third party reproduction.
We can also help direct you to a local Resolve Infertility Support Group in your area
To schedule an appointment for egg or embryo donation counseling, email email@example.com or call 903-689-2744
You can also check our patient portal to schedule today! After Work Hours and Weekend Hours available!
For nationwide skype and video sessions for third party reproduction assessments, consent paperwork and payment must be received in advance. Online Counseling is available and easy to schedule.
Egg or sperm donation counseling is approx 1 hour 10 min and covers the topics recommended by the American Society of Reproductive Medicine, (ASRM). A brief report for your physician or clinic is included in the fee.
My current fees for online Assessments for Egg or Embryo Donation Counseling is $120, and this includes the cost of writing the report.
I provide assessments for clients who are undergoing third party reproduction for those in need of:
-Egg Donation Counseling
-Egg Donation Assessments
-Embryo Donation Assessment
-Embryo Donation Counseling
-Embryo Donation Counselor

Business video production is geared towards helping a business promote a product or service and create brand awareness. It's not enough that the video looks amazing. The video must prompt an action and move the viewer one step closer to buying from you. A great corporate video will simultaneously brand your company as the best in it's industry.
Every video we create is custom and giving a price without understanding exactly what you're looking for is irresponsible. Any company that quotes you without the details of the shoot is just giving you a teaser rate or looking to make a cookie cutter video for you. We don't do that at Top Notch Cinema. We will be happy to set an appointment with the head of production, Greg Parker, and he can give you an exact quote.
Top Notch Cinema's producers are trained to make you as comfortable as possible. Also our shooters, cinematographers and editors work with business owners and corporate executives every day. We understand you you probably aren't a trained actor but we have techniques to get your passion and expertise about your business in the videos.
Top Notch Cinema is a specialty video production company. We exclusively service corporate clients and business owners who are serious about growing their brands. Our production team is lead by one of the company's co-founders, Greg Parker, an Emmy Award Winning Producer. We promise to take the time to understand what separates your business and clearly communicate that message in the videos we create together.
The first step to having a video go viral is to create shareable content. Our concept creation team will formulate targeted ideas for you. We take care of every part of the process. Once you give us approval we will start the production process. After that we will formulate a distribution strategy.
Our sister company Top Notch Online Marketing distributes the videos for our clients. The team of online marketing experts makes sure your target demographic views the videos we create. This is an essential component to making the video marketing campaign a profitable one.
"Top Notch Cinema has the ability to translate our ideas into a wide array of video projects from animation, infographic, documentary, interviews, and pilots. Greg Parker, one of the Founders of Top Notch Cinema, has passion that shaped our product and company culture. We owe a lot to Greg and the Team at Top Notch Cinema for believing in us since day one!"
Jonathon Francis, COO & Co-Founder of Elite Daily
"The Top Notch team goes above and beyond to ensure your brand's voice is communicated through an overall quality product. Working with them was a pleasure. They felt like an extension of our team. In terms of quality, consistency and professionalism they are one of the best groups we have worked with."
Logan Cohen, Co-Founder & Co-CEO of Kudzoo Mobile App
"Point blank… Hiring Top Notch Cinema to do my firm's commercial was the best marketing decision I ever made. My biggest fear was paying for and getting another one of those corny law firm commercials. Top Notch Cinema calmed my fears and immediately went to work with an efficient, cost effective strategy. I gave them a brief description of what i wanted and they turned my vision into commercial gold. They put a face to the firm I have worked tirelessly to build, and my clients have noticed. Time and time again I get compliments upon initial intake of clients."
Michael Iakovou, CEO & Founder, Michael Iakovou and Associates, P.C.
"I had interviewed many videographers before choosing to go with Top Notch Cinema. From the moment I spoke with Greg, I knew that he was the person to meet the challenge. I had looked at sample videos from videographers from bigger production companies with more years of experience, but TNC's samples were just, well… better. A lot better. Greg really knows how to be resourceful and use creativity to make your video look and sound far above its budget. He put so much enthusiasm, passion, and attention to detail into my video. One last thing worthy of mentioning. Greg is someone that focuses on the solution. He is a can-do guy and will never tell you about a problem or limitation without suggesting a solution. I eagerly look forward to hiring TNC for my next video project."
Mike Tropper, Innovator of The Sweet Ride
"Working with the Top Notch crew was an all around enjoyable and seamless experience. The project was carried out with the highest quality and with an impressive turn-around time. We will definitely work with them again."
Town Square Trading, The Culture of Winning
"Top Notch Cinema talks the talk and walks the walk! Their company name speaks volumes for the kind of service they provide- Top Notch- from start to finish. It was an absolute pleasure to work with their team. As I am someone with no experience in this venue, they did the perfect amount of hand holding while still adding their expertise to ensure we ended up with the best product possible. Communication was effortless even though we live on opposite sides of the country. Responsive and professional. They were spot on with their timeline and held true to every commitment with a meeting or chat. We absolutely love the video they created and are certain that it will be hugely beneficial to our growth and visibility. Can't say enough good things about them! Thanks to everyone."
Preston Brown, DDS
"Working with Top Notch is like having your own video advertising department inside of the company. They are professional, available to communicate, understand, and provide expertise, and most importantly they have talent to execute. Brief fact on actual sales data shows 9% increase in sales from 9 days before to after implementing Top Notch video vs. the old video we were using."
Yoosuk Kee, Owner, E5USA Black Mask
"Bonobos was offered a lucrative $310,000,000 deal from Walmart. Dollar Shave Club was acquired for $1,000,000,000 by Unilever. Plated was purchased by Albertsons for $200,000,000. They all have one thing in common: each one had a branding video that was designed and distributed by us. A short time after these videos were publicly shown, these start-up organizations received their profitable solicitations."
ABC article featuring Top Notch Cinema
"Dollar Shave Club was acquired by Unilever for $1B. Shortly before being acquired, they hired Top Notch Cinema Video Production to tell their story and introduce the faces behind this growing billion-dollar company."
Forbes article featuring Top Notch Cinema
"Video grabs your attention and piques your interest like no other medium."

- Clinical Global Impressions-Improvement [ Time Frame: Baseline, Endpoint using last observation carried forward (LOCF) at weeks 3,5,7,9,11 and 13. ]The Clinical Global Impression - Improvement scale (CGI-I) is a 7 point scale that requires the clinician to evaluate how much the patient's illness has improved or worsened compared to their baseline condition at the beginning of the intervention. The ratings are evaluated as: 1, very much improved; 2, much improved; 3, minimally improved; 4, no change; 5, minimally worse; 6, much worse; or 7, very much worse.
- Aberrant Behavior Checklist-Irritability Subscale [ Time Frame: Baseline, Endpoint using last observation carried forward (LOCF) at weeks 3,5,7,9,11 and 13. ]
Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC) The ABC is a 58 item symptom checklist for assessing problem behaviors in individuals ages 6 to 54 with mental retardation. Items are rated on a 4-point scale (0=no problem to 3=severe problem). A decrease in score indicates improvement.
There are five subscales: a) Irritability and Agitation b) Lethargy and Social Withdrawal c) Stereotypic Behavior d) Hyperactivity and Noncompliance and e) Inappropriate Speech.This study uses the Irritability subscale for its outcome. The Irritability subscale is the sum of 15 items. Each item is rated using the scale: 0 = Not at all; 1 = Slight in degree; 2 = Moderately serious; and 3 = Severe in degree. The Irritability subscale total score ranges from 0 to 45. A decrease in score over time indicates improvement.

The Santa Clara County of Education (SCCOE) is Committed to serving, inspiring, and promoting student and public school success.
Strategic campaigns to raise awareness of the overall benefits of education
Meeting the emerging needs of the community by providing leadership and support for children, schools, and the greater community.
A premier service organization.
Fostering respectful, supportive, and inclusive work environments within and across branches, departments, clusters, and sites.
SAN JOSE, CA - In recognition of the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage in the U.S., Silicon Valley Reads 2020 will celebrate the achievements and relentless perseverance of women as the focus of the annual community engagement program that offers events and activities for all ages throughout Santa Clara County. The theme, "Women Making It Happen," explores impressive historical accomplishments, and looks toward the future as women are defining who they are as a gender as well as what is achievable.
Two books have been selected as the centerpiece of the program – The Tenth Muse, a novel by Catherine Chung, and Alpha Girls: The Women Upstarts Who Took on Silicon Valley's Male Culture and Made the Deals of a Lifetime by Julian Guthrie. Both critically-acclaimed books tell stories of women who broke barriers to excel in fields traditionally dominated by men. Their success is inspirational and informational to both women and men on how to develop future leaders based on skills and not rooted in gender.
Silicon Valley Reads 2020 will kick off with a special event on Thursday evening, Jan. 23, at De Anza College Visual & Performing Arts Center in Cupertino. More than 100 additional free events will follow in February and March that provide information, ideas and entertainment about a wide variety of women and their accomplishments, starting with the tenacious individuals who worked so hard to get women the right to vote in the early 1900s. Programs will include an art exhibit titled "Women Pathmakers" at the De Anza College Euphrat Museum of Art, films, panel discussions, author talks, and activities for children and teens. In addition to the public events, Silicon Valley Reads will have educational programs in local schools.
This is the 18th year of Silicon Valley Reads which is presented annually by Santa Clara County Library District, Santa Clara County Office of Education and San José Public Library. It is co-chaired by Santa Clara County Librarian Nancy Howe, Santa Clara County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Mary Ann Dewan, and San José Library Director Jill Bourne.
"Silicon Valley Reads 2020 will celebrate and commemorate the collective action of courageous women in our society," said Dr. Dewan. "Each of us has experienced the power of collective action – the opportunity to join like-minded individuals to accomplish a common goal. The featured books will help us build on a community conversation about the strength and courage necessary to fight for equity, diversity, and inclusivity, and inspire our youth to do the same."
In Alpha Girls, award-winning journalist Julian Guthrie tracks the careers and personal lives of four entrepreneurial women in the Silicon Valley venture capital community who were instrumental in the rise of such companies as Facebook, Imperva, Tesla, Trulia, Salesforce and more. The best-selling book is being adapted for a television series.
"I'm honored that Alpha Girls was chosen for the 2020 Silicon Valley Reads program," said Guthrie. "I can't wait to share the inspiring, untold stories of incredible women who helped build some of the foremost companies of our day. I'm eager to talk in actionable terms about how women can succeed in male-dominated industries, how men can be great allies, and what this means for boys and girls who want to be next-generation leaders and innovators."
Novelist Catherine Chung focuses on a fictional trailblazer – an exceptional female mathematician who embarks on a quest to conquer the Riemann hypothesis, the greatest unsolved mathematical problem of her time and discovers along the way her own mysterious family history and secrets long buried during World War II. Chung's research into the work of significant female mathematicians and her undergraduate degree in math provides the foundation for a captivating tale about legacy and identity.
"I am so delighted that The Tenth Muse has been chosen for the Silicon Valley Reads program, with its focus this year on women breaking gender barriers," said Chung. "To the extent that I meant The Tenth Muse to be both a chronicle of such women in history (particularly those working in STEM) as well as a contribution to the collective imagination around such women, I feel it couldn't be a more perfect fit, and I am beyond excited to get to be part of your community to talk with you about these things."
Silicon Valley Reads is also announcing the selection of three companion books for children – The Most Magnificent Thing, a picture book by Ashley Spires, and two books from author Tanya Lee Stone, Who Says Women Can't Be Computer Programmers: The Story of Ada Lovelace and Almost Astronauts: 13 Women Who Dared To Dream. All three books reflect Silicon Valley Read's 2020 theme and provide pre-readers and students in grades K-8 with fun, informative books that will educate and inspire.
More information on Silicon Valley Reads and the plans for 2020 can be found on the website SiliconValleyReads.org. The complete list of Silicon Valley Reads 2020 events will be posted at the end of December 2019.

- 120 film

Kodak's Professional Tri-X 400 Black and White Negative Film is a classic high-speed panchromatic film designed for a wide array of shooting conditions. Characterized by its fine grain quality, notable edge sharpness, and high resolving power, Tri-X 400 also exhibits a wide exposure latitude with consistent tonality. As an all-around, highly versatile film, Tri-X 400 is a standard choice for photographing in difficult lighting conditions as well as when working with subjects requiring good depth of field or for faster shutter speeds.
An icon of the film world, Kodak was formed in 1888 by George Eastman and became so successful that by 1975 they sold 90% of all film and 85% of all film cameras sold in the United States were produced by Kodak. Unfortunately, the rise of digital photography and later mobile photography meant that Kodak's success diminished, ultimately resulting in bankruptcy in 2012.
Fortunately the photography side of the business continues to operate today under the Kodak Alaris name. This means we're able to continue using the Kodak films we all know and love, with Kodak further showing their commitment to film with the recent revival of the iconic Ektachrome 100 film.

Polishing and buffing are finishing processes for smoothing a workpiece's surface using an abrasive and a work wheel. Technically polishing refers to processes that use an abrasive that is glued to the work wheel, while buffing uses a loose abrasive applied to the work wheel. Polishing is a more aggressive process while buffing is less harsh, which leads to a smoother, brighter finish. A common misconception is that a polished surface has a mirror bright finish, however most mirror bright finishes are actually buffed.
Is usually a multistage process. The first stage starts with a rough abrasive and each subsequent stage uses a finer abrasive until the desired finish is achieved. The rough pass removes surface defects like pits, nicks, lines and scratches. The finer abrasives leave very thin lines that are not visible to the naked eye. Lubricants like wax and kerosene are used as lubricating and cooling media during these operations. Buffing may be done by hand with a stationary polisher or die grinder, or it may be automated using specialized equipment.
When buffing there are two types of buffing motions: the cut motion and the color motion. The cut motion is designed to give a uniform, smooth, semi-bright surface finish. This is achieved by moving the workpiece against the rotation of the buffing wheel, while using medium to hard pressure. The color motion gives a clean, bright, shiny surface finish. This is achieved by moving the workpiece with the rotation of the buffing wheel, while using medium to light pressure.
Polishing wheels come in a wide variety of types to fulfill a wide range of needs. The most common materials used for polishing wheels are wood, leather, canvas, cotton cloth, plastic, felt, paper, sheepskin, impregnated rubber, canvas composition, and wool; leather and canvas are the most common. Wooden wheels have emery or other abrasives glued onto them and are used to polish flat surfaces and maintained good edges. There are many types of cloth wheels. Cloth wheels that are cemented together are very hard and used for rough work, whereas other cloth wheels that are sewn and glued together are not as aggressive. There are cloth wheels that are not glued or cemented, instead these are sewed and have metal side plates for support. Solid felt wheels are popular for fine finishes.
Experienced polishers may vary the materials used to suit different applications.

Report about the TIPI workshop on Science Day at BIOFACH 2014
On February 2014, on Science Day at BIOFACH, TIPI, the Technology Innovation Platform of the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM) held a workshop to develop a vision for organic food and farming research at the global level.
TIPI council members Maria Wivstadt of EPOK in Sweden, Uygun Aksoy of Ege University in Turkey, and Urs Niggli of the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL, Switzerland) presented an overview of the current state of global organic food and farming research and outlined future research needs. This was followed by a workshop, and the 60 participants divided into four groups to discuss the following key issues: regional adaption of research; combining farmers' knowledge with science; collaboration with other forms of sustainable production systems, and ecological intensification versus component research.
TIPI council member Nic Lampkin of the Organic Research Centre Elm Farm, UK, summarized the discussions of the session and issues raised as follows:
- Should organic research be focused on certified systems or agreed production standards, or should it be based on the wider ideas, principles, and goals of organic farming?
- Is Organic 3.0 a means to developing new perspectives or an opportunity to rediscover the original principles and goals of organic farming?
- Should we separate organic and agro-ecological research, or is there significant common ground?
- Can organic farming be THE solution to every problem, or do we need to recognize and find ways of working with its limitations and the trade-offs between multiple goals?
- Does organic research need to find a global solution or more locally adapted solutions?
- What is the role of stakeholders in the process – what does "participatory" really mean? Does it mean that researchers will still be leading the innovation but carrying out work on farms, or is it more about farmers leading the research process, with researchers playing only a supporting role? What about other research questions aimed at different audiences, for whom participatory approaches may be irrelevant?
The TIPI board will now compile the results of the workshop into a report, which will be presented to the organic sector at the IFOAM World Congress in October 2014. Interested stakeholders are invited to participate in the development of this vision document.

In the early '60s, before he landed the gig on "Star Trek," which premiered in 1966, William Shatner was just another young actor in Hollywood looking for interesting work.
Among the places he landed was Family Theater Productions, on Sunset Boulevard, run at that time by its founder, Irish-born Father Patrick Peyton, C.S.C. Among FTP's projects released in 1962 was a series of short films that were meditations on the Psalms, and Shatner appeared in three of them.
The first one features his narration and focuses on Psalm 83:
The next one features Psalm 3:
The last one, with Psalm 41, also gave an aspiring filmmaker his first official credit, as an assistant cameraman.
His name was George Lucas.
Shatner continues to be a force in entertainment and on Twitter. He turns 86 today and shows no signs of slowing down.
Happy Birthday!

Antibiotic resistance is a major public health problem. In Ireland, and most of Europe, hospital effluentis released into the urban wastewater system without any specific measurement of antibiotic levels orantibiotic-resistant bacteria, and without any pre-treatment.There are concerns that the release of these contaminantsinto the urban wastewater may result in downstreamexposure to antibiotics and contribute to the growingproblem of antibiotic resistance. In this report, a threeyear study was undertaken to 1) quantify the impact ofhospital discharge on the number of antibiotic resistant E.coli and concentration of antibiotics in urban waste water,2) estimate the survival of antibiotic resistant E. coli in eachstep of the waste water treatment process to discharge,3) estimate the persistence/removal of antibiotics in eachstep of the waste water treatment process to discharge,4) develop a risk assessment model of human exposureto antibiotics and antibiotic resistant E. coli in recreationalwater related to discharge in hospital effluent.
This report demonstrates that there are high levels ofantibiotic-resistant E. coli in urban wastewater, and dealingwith hospital effluent in isolation will not substantiallyaddress the overall issue of antibiotic-resistant bacteriain urban wastewater. The report identifies that, at best,wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) do not removeor inactivate all antibiotic-resistant bacteria and thatfurther research is required to understand the processesunderlying this and identify risk management strategies.This research also reveals that some antibiotics maypersist in the environment for extended periods afterdischarge and that the predicted levels of antibiotics in theenvironment are such that they may plausibly contributeto the development and maintenance of antibioticresistance.
The research informs current policies on protection ofpublic health from water borne contaminants and thenecessity for development of additional indicators ormonitoring strategies. The research builds capacity in thearea of Environment and Health. The research is relevantin the context of the EU Water Framework Directive, theEuropean Commission's 'A Blueprint to Safeguard Europe'sWater Resources' and to the 7th EU Environment ActionProgramme which aims "to safeguard the Union's citizensfrom environment-related pressures and risks to healthand wellbeing". The research also informs the followingnational regulations and EU directives, the EU WaterFramework Directive, the Urban Wastewater Directive(1991); the Bathing Water Directive (2008); and theDrinking Water Directive (2014).
The research identifies that new antibiotics, such asthe quinolones/fluoroquinolones, have the lowest rateof degradation and the highest resistance formationpotential and provides a method which could be used tocreate a mechanistic model that can assess antimicrobialresistance formation potential. This study providesvaluable evidence that high levels of antibiotic resistantE. coli are present in urban wastewater, and highlightsthe need for the development of international guidelinesregarding regulation, monitoring and reporting ofantibiotics and antibiotic resistant bacteria in the urbanwastewater and receiving environments.

JOHANNESBURG - One baby, many parents say, is a life-changer.
Two billion babies can change the world.
In the next 35 years, UNICEF predicts that Africa will see a massive baby boom -- so massive, that by the year 2050, four out of 10 people on this planet will be African. Between now and 2050, some 1.8 billion new Africans will be born.
Africa is already home to one of the world's youngest populations -- the African Union says about two-thirds of the continent's 1.1 billion people are younger than 35. Within the next few decades, an unprecedented number of youngsters will reach reproductive age.
Over the last few months, VOA reporters across the continent have examined this fascinating phenomenon from multiple angles. In our stories, we asked what effect this population explosion will have on public policy, on economics, on health, on cultural traditions and more.
We found that this baby boom could potentially transform this already dynamic continent while stretching resources, challenging governments and even changing family life.
From Personal Decisions to Public Policy -- And Everything in Between
In Johannesburg, South Africa's largest city and a magnet for immigrants from around Africa, VOA's Anita Powell went to the front lines of this boom -- an overflowing nursery school in the city's diverse Yeoville neighborhood.
Nursery owner Princewell Elimiaga said he doesn't need to read the reports to know that the population is growing. His classrooms are bursting with children from around the continent, who are taught in English but speak to each other in a perplexing and delightful mix of English and isiZulu, Johannesburg's lingua franca.
There, teacher Thembisa Madlanga, a mother of one at the age of 23, said watching the population explode before her eyes has influenced her own reproductive plans. She said she plans to stop at baby number two.
"Because of the responsibility, I don't think I will have five, I can't manage to feed five," she said with a laugh.
But academic researcher Koffi Kouakou of the University of the Witwatersrand said population growth is a serious public policy challenge -- and that every African leader needs to be thinking about the future, now.
"If they don't anticipate, there will be trouble, because the growth rate of the population might exceed the consumption of the resources that we'll need to sustain that population," he said. "And if that population becomes bigger and bigger, you'll need new infrastructure, about housing, new cities, new building materials, new food, water. I mean, the list goes on and on."
It's the Economy, Baby
Our reporters found that the continent's wallet will be hit hard by the baby boom. We also found that African mothers, like their counterparts around the world, are bearing a greater financial burden than fathers.
In Nairobi, East Africa's economic hub, Hilary Heuler looked at the effect of workplace policies as the population grows. She found a varied approach to parental leave -- still referred to as "maternity leave" in many nations, and still focused largely around mothers.
The International Labor Organization found in 2010 that 82 percent of the 50 African countries studied now provide at least 12 weeks of maternity leave, and that those figures have been increasing.
The ILO also found that most African nations give new fathers less than 10 days of leave -- and many give none at all.
Heuler also spoke to experts who said that while some countries are moving to extend leave, others are having a hard time enforcing the laws they already have.
Ernest Nadome, who works for Kenya's Central Organization of Trade Unions, said denying parental leave to employees can have far-reaching social consequences.
"It has increased poverty amongst women," he said. "I would imagine that if the employers were adhering to the labor laws and making sure they extend the necessary benefits to these ladies, it will go a long way in uplifting their living standards."
She also talked to mothers, like Ngong resident Esther Njau, who say employers' refusal to give Kenya's statutory three months of leave -- she says she got just two months at her private company, and many of her friends were simply fired -- have made childbearing an economic question.
"Should I? Should I not?" she said. "You're so confused. You're earning well, you're living well, but the moment you get pregnant you're fired or you're replaced. So that's something that can keep you from getting more kids."
In Johannesburg, Thuso Khumalo found the opposite trend. In a nation with staggeringly high unemployment levels -- estimated at more than 25 percent -- many South African women say state-subsidized motherhood is their only means of survival.
Simpiwe Gwebu said she searched in vain for work before deciding to have her first baby two years ago. But the approximately $30 she gets per month wasn't enough, so she decided to have another child.
"The more babies I get, the more money I get, and every year it goes up," said Gwebu, who is 25. "There is no employment. You can't find a job and getting a grant is much easier than going around and looking for money."
Critics of the government grant program say it sends the wrong message, and that the government should instead focus on improving economic opportunities for the workforce -- a change that will resonate for future generations.
Birth Control
Dakar-based reporter Christin Roby tackled the often-controversial issue of birth control and found that, often, it takes a village to plan a child.
West African nations are among the continent's most fertile -- the average woman in Niger has nearly seven children in her lifetime. Contraception is widely seen as challenging culture, religion and patriarchy.
In the predominantly Muslim nation of Senegal, Roby found that bringing religious leaders into the effort has been an important step to overcoming resistance.
"When we explained that we are not saying 'no longer have children, but instead space out births' for health of the mother and for the health of the child, things started to change," said Gueye Coumba Seye, manager for social and maternity services at the Senegalese Association for Family Welfare, in French.
She said that since the campaign was launched in 2011, contraceptive use has increased among married Senegalese women. Infant mortality has dropped to about two percent.
In South Africa, Darren Taylor looked into the clash between age-old pregnancy superstitions and modern medicine.
He ventured to the home of 36-year-old Cynthia Mohape, who said she followed the superstition of keeping her pregnancy a complete secret until she was seven months along.
"If your enemies find out you are pregnant they will pay a witch to bewitch you," she said, while nursing her healthy three-month-old son, Jeremiah. "If that happens then I will lose my baby or I will die myself."
Beliefs like that, said Dr. Ashley Mthunzi, keep South African women away from essential pre-natal care -- and, he says, contribute to the nation's dismal infant mortality rate. South Africa, which is the continent's most developed nation, loses 41 babies per 1,000 live births. He also noted that the lack of pre-natal care feeds into the nation's AIDS epidemic, as untreated HIV-positive mothers can pass the virus on to the baby.
Mthunzi, an expert in maternal health at Wits University's Reproductive Health and HIV Institute in Johannesburg, said doctors need to convince the nation's revered traditional healers to change their message.
"We're not taking necessary drastic steps to bring on board these traditional healers at a scale which will actually be acceptable in curbing maternal mortality in South Africa," he said.
Meanwhile, Mohape said she's eager to have another child. But she plans -- yet again -- to keep it top secret.
'Toxic Masculinity' and the Modern African Family
Back in Johannesburg, Thuso Khumalo, himself a proud father of three, explored a growing movement to transform traditional concepts of fatherhood in largely conservative African societies.
Trevor Davies, Director of the African Fatherhood Initiative, said he is seeking to end the culture of "toxic masculinity," in which age-old beliefs of male dominance have led fathers to be less involved parents.
Davies said fathers should be more involved in childcare, and argues that nurturing does not make a man less masculine.
"The type of society that I see us moving to, is one in which men are expected to be well behaved, strong men, who value their families and their communities," he said. "If we start to engage men over the next few years, I think we can see less violence in communities and particularly less violence against women and children."
Justin Kwena is the embodiment of the involved father -- he said he cherishes quality time with his 4-year-old daughter, Tumelo, and insists on contributing to housework.
"If your wife is tired, give her a helping hand. She is your helper; not your slave," said Kwena, who is 34. "Children should know that the father is not someone who just sits on the sofa and watches TV, but he also runs around with them, gives them a bath, plays with them, talks to them, helps them with homework and things like that."
And Anita Powell took to the streets of Africa's most diverse city to ask: What's your name, baby? The results are delightful, diverse and full of history, meaning and promise -- just like the continent itself.
Welcome to Africa, Baby
In the course of our work, some of our reporters also had the opportunity to spend some quality time with Africa's next generation and their parents.
The onslaught of chubby cheeks, tiny hands and spontaneous smiles would be enough to make anyone optimistic about Africa's future -- but experts say there is real reason to feel hopeful.
Thi Minh Ngo, an economic and social policy specialist for UNICEF based in Dakar, Senegal, said Africa's booming population could be a boon.
"It's an amazing opportunity," she said. "You have this youth which is a driving force for the continent, and that is unique to Africa because the other regions of the globe are actually witnessing aging of the population."
And Kouakou, the Johannesburg-based academic, said the continent can provide for its growing population -- as long as governments plan carefully.
"Africa doesn't have a population problem," he said. "What Africa might have, in fact, is a resource allocation problem. There are fertile lands everywhere, and then also the management and the governance of those resources, that's the key."
Reporters Hilary Heuler, Thuso Khumalo, Darren Taylor and Christin Roby contributed to this story.

This week I try to calm everybody down after an entire weeklong nostalgia high.
I then go over several movies whose future dates have already passed, and then discuss some predictions of films that are coming in the near future.
I round out the show by casting down the harshest of judgements on our tiny orange foe: the Circus Peanut!

The city: Udaipur, India. The most legendary of towns in Rajasthan, known as the "Venice of the East" due to its stunning lakeside location, rambling old palaces and stunning architecture painted in every shade of white known to mankind.
The quest: Soaking in the ancient beauty of the landscape and going to the very roots of the glorious indigenous beauty recipes that have originated in this land and been adopted by literally every brand, from Aveda to Estee Lauder.
The quandary: A missing camera that's left sitting on my desk approximately 7,467 miles away. In a land that begs a photo at literally every turn of its winding paths.
The solution: Yes, thankfully there is one. In the form of the ubiquitous smartphone that's almost surgically attached to my hand 24 x 7. Which is a blessing, it turns out, in more ways than one. Not only do today's smartphones almost rival DSLRs in their photo quality (the Coolpad Note 5 comes with a 13 MP rear camera) but it's also small and inconspicuous enough to get into tight spaces to capture a micro-detail, take candid shots without making people feel too self conscious and light enough to take literally everywhere without yoour shoulder falling off. And, of course, then there is the fact that I have yet to meet a camera that lets you take the perfect selfie, complete with a forward facing lens AND night mode to chase away the darkness (hello again, Coolpad Note 5, with your 8 MP front facing camera with flash!).
The result: A wealth of traditional beauty recipes that have made Rajasthani women some of the most revered in the world, along with a treasure trove of photographs that will make for the memories of a lifetime.
Enjoy them both here!
Indian beauty recipe #1: Sandalwood & almond face scrub
Rose water is purifying, while almonds and saffron represent fertility. But that's just the ritualistic part. The reason Indian women have revered this scrub since the times of Ayurveda is because almonds contain essential fatty acids for smooth and super-supple skin. They are also packed with antioxidants, including vitamin E, to neutralise environmental toxins and keep skin healthy.
Rose water and saffron, in the meantime, are packed with skin soothing and complexion perfecting ingredients, like Vitamin C and polyphenols, which can erase fine lines, boost collagen, clear blocked pores, soften the complexion and hydrate cell tissues.4-5 almonds 3-4 strands of saffron, dissolved in a few drops of warm water few drops of rose water
1. Rub the almonds on a coarse stone with rose water till you get a paste
2. Mix this paste with the saffron water
3. Apply the mask to your face; let it dry, then rub it off with wet hands. Weeks of accumulated grime and dead skin will come off with the paste
Indian beauty recipe #2: Heal chronic acne
Sandalwood has potent antiseptic, astringent, anti-inflammatory and disinfectant properties that make it a treat for flawlessly glow-y complexions. It's also superb at reducing skin scarring of all kinds. Vetiver is antiseptic and very effective in treating chronic acne. Added bonus: this paste smells divine!1 small bunch vetiver few drops of vetiver essential oil 2 tsp sandalwood powder
1. Soak the vetiver in a little water overnight
2. Next day, strain the water and mix it with the sandalwood powder
3. Add few drops of vetiver essential oil to the paste
4. Apply this paste on your face, paying special attention to the affected areas; wash it off once dry. Repeat daily till for 2-4 weeks; the left over paste should be kept refrigerated
Indian beauty recipe #5: Whole body mask
This traditional body mask (called an ubtan) is applied to both bride and groom for seven days before the wedding. It's messy but superb for making skin smooth, flawless and glow-y. Turmeric cleanses, disinfects and glosses; sandalwood is antiseptic, astringent and anti-inflammatory; gur (jaggery) is packed with glycolic acid for exfoliation and humectants to keep everything moisturised; yogurt's lactic acid helps slough off dead skin cells; chickpea flour busts grime and toxins; and ghee deep cleanses, moisturise and heals.2 cups besan (chickpea flour) 1 tbsp sandalwood powder 2 tsp turmeric powder 2 tsp gur (sugar cane jaggery) 2 tbsp yogurt 2 tsp ghee (clarified butter)
1. Mix everything together to form a paste
2. Apply the paste to clean skin; wait till it dries (approximately 15 minutes), then rub it away with wet fingers. Finally, rinse clean with lukewarm water

As you know, we get to serve as Chief Travel Guides for Alamo Rent A Car and share our ideas for exploring the Scenic Route. We recently completed a grand tour of the Island of Oahu and came up with the four key ways to experience this incredible island. Here are a few hints about what makes Oahu with kids so much fun, and particularly what makes the Scenic Route around Oahu so unforgettable…
Oahu's Kid Friendly Beaches
An island full of beach is sure to have lots of great spots to relax, right? Well, yes and no. We've made our recommendations for some of Oahu's kids friendly beaches and what to plan for. Our kids LOVED the beaches of Oahu!
Snorkeling the Scenic Route Around Oahu
Just because there's a beach doesn't mean that the snorkeling is going to be amazing. What makes Oahu so great for snorkeling in certain spots are the ancient lava rocks and coral reefs that make for calm, clear waters. Care to know where along the Scenic Route you'll find some of these great spots?

Propose a motion as to Guy> how you think releases should work. We don't have to wait to start Guy> hashing out a consensus. I agree. I think we can come to a proposal, at least, without involving the Project Leader Role in all this. To get the ball rolling, I think I like the idea Guy presented: Have a continuosly updated set of stable and unstable packages (maybe keep the last N versions of packages - but that is a digression). Packages are uploaded to the unstable pool. After a while, when at least the maintainer has been using them for a while, and there are no reported bugs, the package may be promoted to the ``stable'' distribution. Every once in a while, the stable set is copied off ("Frozen"), tested, and released as a nerw version. Since there is always a release ready set of packages, presumably one may release at regular intervals. There is another advantage to this: packages mature and reach stability at a diffrent schedule than Debian releases, and this method promotes *packages* from unstable to stable on their schedule, rather than when We decide to ship a release. This is predicated on the assumption that maintainers are going to exercise judgement in promoting a package to stable; things break down (but no worse than the current state) if people, either in error, or impatience, promote packages to stable. I vote we keep the previous stable version of a package in safe storage until the newly promoted package has had time to mature and perhaps be tested. There are problems with this approach -- what about shared libraries? packages in stable have to be compiled with libraries that are stable too. And if the developer is tracking unstable, that means the package may not actually be tested that well with stable libraries. So far, this has been done by having maintainers stick to unstable for development, and stay with frozen until the hard freeze, so everything in frozen has been compiled with frozen libraries. If we go with a continuously varying pool of packages, with both a stable and unstable set being updated, either we autocompile packages on a known stable machine, so that the packages have the correct libraries, while developers track unstable. One may even say that one compiles on a stable machine, and tests locally for a couple of days before asking the package to be promoted into stable. This is getting way too complicated. manoj -- So long as the least desire of a man for women has not been eradicated, he is fettered in mind, like a sucking calf to its mother. 284 Manoj Srivastava <email@example.com> <http://www.datasync.com/%7Esrivasta/> Key C7261095 fingerprint = CB D9 F4 12 68 07 E4 05 CC 2D 27 12 1D F5 E8 6E -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to email@example.com with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Georgia's Controversial Anti-Childhood Obesity Campaign: Helpful or Hurtful?
The shocking images of overweight and obese children have some wondering if you can really shame people into caring about obesity. But the campaign organizers say the tactics are a necessary wake-up call to the state with nearly one million overweight or obese children.
Jan. 3, 2012 — A controversial new anti-childhood obesity campaign's use of black-and-white images of overweight children coupled with to-the-point messaging has caused quite a stir. Critics claim the campaign may cause additional stigma to obese children, while supporters insist the images are a necessary wake-up call for obese children and their parents.
In one of the five videos, an overweight adolescent is seen asking his overweight parent, "Mom, why am I fat?" The campaign features a "Stop sugarcoating it, Georgia," tagline as a dose of brutal honesty hoping to shock its viewers into action.
Nearly one million children in Georgia are overweight or obese, according to the Strong4Life campaign sponsored by Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. That makes the state the second worst when it comes to childhood obesity, behind Mississippi.
However while the problem in Georgia goes undisputed, the tactic of the campaign is a hot debate. "We felt like we needed a very arresting, abrupt campaign that said: 'Hey, Georgia! Wake up. This is a problem,'" Linda Matzigkeit, a senior vice president at Children's Healthcare, who leads the system's wellness projects, told The Atlanta Journal Constitution.
The campaign featuring billboards, commercials, and print ads sparked controversy when it officially launched last September. Some critics said the images just show a problem without providing an answer.
"We know from communication research that when we highlight a health risk but fail to provide actionable steps people can take to prevent it, the response is often either denial or some other dysfunctional behavior," Karen Hilyard, a health communication researcher at the University of Georgia, told the AJC.
Others said that they may backfire and create more stigma surrounding childhood obesity.
"If we want to get attention to say obesity is a problem, maybe they will be effective," Marsha Davis, child obesity prevention researcher at the University of Georgia's College of Public Health told the AJC. "In terms of the social stigma about weight — it might actually make people feel worse about that. We need to fight obesity — not obese people."
However, according to one of the children featured in the ads, the campaign is working. Maya Walters, a teen who had hypertension, appeared in the campaign but has since cut down on salt and isn't winded by climbing the stairs.
"I think it's really brave to talk about the elephant in the room," she told the AJC after the campaign launched. "It's very provocative and makes people uncomfortable, but it's when people are uncomfortable that change comes."

Peugeot rationalises 407 Coupé range
Peugeot's 407 nows comes in a single trim level, in petrol or diesel
Peugeot's 407 Coupé comes in just one (well-specified) trim level now, though there's a new diesel engine to choose.
A new entry-level diesel engine joins the line-up of the Peugeot 407 Coupé this month, offering buyers the option of improved fuel economy. The 2.0-litre HDi 136, as the name suggests, boasts 136bhp, produced at 4,000rpm. Backing it up is a more significant 240lb.ft of torque, available at just 2,000rpm.
Those figures should ensure that the new model doesn't feel flat-footed next to the slightly cheaper 2.2-litre petrol option. Indeed, figures of 10.1 seconds to 62mph and a top speed of 129mph are perfectly adequate for a car tailored towards effortless cruising. Naturally, the smaller engine uses less fuel than the range-topping V6 diesel and 48mpg on the Combined Cycle is an enticement alone, with CO2 emissions quoted at 156g/km.
The new model is available now at £19,995 on-the-road, joining a rationalised line-up, where all models are now built in the 'Sport' trim level. With that comes an extensive list of standard equipment, including alloys, Xenon lights, cruise control, parking sensors and climate control. Entry-level is the Sport 2.2-litre petrol model at £19,530.

Love your blog. Just tried the buffet with free flow of drinks at RM199++. I wouldn't say it worth the price as the Four Seasons brunch at Bangkok is much better and worth the price. You may give it a try one day.. Imagine unlimited serving of foir gras, foir gras sausage, scallops, cavier, free flow of drinks (cocktail, champagne etc), peking duck and their waffle is delicious too.. If I remember correctly, it was RM250++ !ReplyDelete
