The Cheesecake Shop Tempt with New Range of Dessert Cups and Tarts
The Cheesecake Shop has unveiled their new range of treat size cheesecake dessert cups and tarts just in time for Valentine's Day.
It's now a little easier to treat yourself at The Cheesecake Shop with their single serve continental cheesecake cups, available in Strawberry, Blueberry, Citron, Caramel, Chocolate, French Vanilla, Passionfruit and Double Choc. The flavours are the same used in their popular Continental Cheesecakes (with the exception of the Double Choc which is a play on a torte) and have been cleverly adapted into dessert cups by General Manager of Marketing and Operations, Peter Dable in collaboration with Belgian Patisserie Chef Dominique Van Droogenbroeck from Apromo Trading, a key supplier of dessert and patisserie ingredients to The Cheesecake Shop.
"The Cheesecake Shop is well-known for its range of larger cakes which are typically purchased for birthdays and family gatherings. The aim of the Temptations Range is to offer something different to our current customers and provide a smaller format for individuals, couples and smaller gatherings such as dinner parties. Our strategic supplier relationship with Apromo Trading is one of our strongest and they have been instrumental in the ongoing development of our product range" says Peter Dable.
"I was approached by the team at The Cheesecake Shop to develop a new range of individual desserts with a European feel and lift their classic Cheesecake range, giving it a twist by being served in those trendy cups called verrines in French", comments Dominique Van Droogenbroeck of Apromo Trading.
The range of delectable tarts consists of Banoffee, Blueberry, Choc Caramel, Choc Cream, Chocolate, Lemon, Lemon Meringue, and Strawberry flavours.
The new range aims to provide The Cheesecake Shop loyalists with a new and exciting option for parties and other gatherings whilst also attracting new customers who perhaps would have never considered The Cheesecake Shop as a suitable option for trendy desserts.
The Temptations range has been extremely well received by fans and non-fans alike on social media, with many fans expressing their excitement and indicating their desire to purchase, and non-fans have been wowed by the look of the range, sparking intrigue amongst those who wouldn't traditionally shop at The Cheesecake Shop.
The Temptations range can be viewed on the AU website here:

U.S. farmers are taking the brunt of retaliatory tariffs placed on their products, says a Knowledge Exchange report released by CoBank on Thursday.
In an analysis of 11 U.S. agricultural commodities representing a cross-section of agricultural exports from almonds to pork, U.S. producers — not the importing country or its consumers — paid much of the cost of these tariffs in all but two cases, CoBank reports.
Pork Industry Takes Big Hit
It's no surprise that in the animal protein sector, retaliatory tariffs are primarily targeting the most exported animal protein – pork. With more than a quarter of U.S. pork being exported around the world, CoBank's lead economist for animal protein, Will Sawyer, says the tariffs from Mexico and China have especially hurt hog prices and hog producer bottom lines the past few years.
"When Mexico levied a 20% tariff against U.S. pork in the summer of 2018, we found it was the U.S. hog producer who actually paid the tariff, not the Mexican importer or consumer," Sawyer says.
This dynamic reflects our country's reliance on the Mexican market, he adds.
"Nearly half of all hams produced in the U.S. go to Mexico. While Mexico lifted these tariffs this spring, we expect pork to continue to be the hardest hit protein industry when trade disputes bubble up in the future," Sawyer says.
In the case of pork exports to China, when China increased its tariff on U.S. pork by 50% in the summer of 2018, the U.S. pork meat export value to China declined by 32% year-over-year in Q4 2018.
Although Mexico's 20% tariff was significantly less than China's 50% tariff, the value of U.S. exports declined by a very similar amount, the report says. This indicates the importance of pork in China as well as the rising pork prices in China in late 2018.
"The outbreak of ASF in China has drastically transformed its and the world's pork supply and demand in the last year, yet the continued trade dispute between the U.S. and China will mean trade flows of U.S. pork to China will be driven more by politics than economics," the report says.
Lopsided Balance of Power
The impact of retaliatory tariffs placed on U.S. farm products reflects the lopsided balance of power between U.S. producers and their importing customers, CoBank says.
The longer tariffs remain in place, the more time competitors will have to take away U.S. market share and establish trade relationships.
U.S. producers of most agricultural commodities will face pressure to absorb more of the costs of retaliatory tariffs in the future with the prospect of declining bargaining power.

Stationary on the driveway, Hattie killed the gentle purr of the electric motor housed under the bonnet of the newly converted and refurbished red Pontiac, 1969 GTO. Seconds before, she'd seen Wyatt watering the flower borders of the front yard outside his house. Despite attempts to avoid eye contact, it had happened. She watched as the old man retreated to an outside tap located underneath the kitchen window, turning off the supply with several twists of the squeaky brass handle.
As Hattie unloaded grocery bags from the trunk of the car, she saw him strutting down the paved driveway in her direction. Although still early springtime, the weekend's weather had been fine and she felt the warmth of the sunshine on her skin. She noted how Wyatt appeared unaffected by the climate, wearing his stetson, sheep skin jacket, threaded jeans and dusty old boots, same as always. He's coming over to talk to me, she thought, is he really going to ask again?
It wouldn't be for the second time, nor third or fourth. Hattie had lost count of how many times Wyatt had asked her the same question, after learning of her breakup with Ed three months ago. Initially, she assumed he'd been joking … a little insensitively so, perhaps.
"Miss Hattie, what a beautiful day." Wyatt tapped a curved finger under the rim of his hat. "I see you've been getting in provisions for your ma and pa, just like last week. They must give thanks for your help around the house, with you living back at home."
"That's most kind for you to say, Wyatt." She said, lifting the bags up and out, placing them together on the ground against her legs. "Of course, it's me who's grateful to them, here in my moment of need." She looked towards the house and thought fondly of the two people inside.
"I'm rightly sure you are Hattie, rightly sure you are."
With the lid of the trunk slammed shut, she bent down to pick up several of the bags. She sensed an admiring gaze, scanning her body as he might do, she thought, a favoured horse. Judging the weight of the groceries, the chance of an early escape from the conversation beckoned. "Well Wyatt, I'll let you get on with the watering of those lovely flowers of yours."
"Hattie," he interrupted, slipping his hat off, holding it against his chest, "I wanted to ask, have you given further consideration to my recent proposal? After this day, understand, I won't be asking again." Extracting a polka dot patterned handkerchief, Wyatt wiped away glistening beads of sweat from his balding head, before returning it to his jean's pocket.
"Yes Hattie?"
"Just how old are you?"
"I turned sixty-six in April."
"Okay, do you know how old I am?"
"Well, I recall the celebration of your eighteenth with a lively and well-attended party. Let me see, that was … eight years ago, which makes you … twenty-five, no wait, twenty-six years old by my reckoning."
Hattie stood looking at Wyatt, waiting to see if an expression registering comprehension might suddenly materialise. It didn't. His features remained placid and unchanged.
"Wyatt, that's a forty-year age gap."
"That's right Hattie, I can do the math. It changes nothing. I remain a widower, with no children, no known surviving relatives and no debts. With the situation as it stands, when I go, the proceeds of my estate are headed off to some sure as hell lucky pet rescue home." Wyatt chuckled to himself, reached inside his jacket and withdrew a packet of cigarettes. "Unless, you've reconsidered, Hattie? After all, when your folks pass, whatever inheritance becomes available, you know that's going to be split several ways between you, your brothers and your sisters. Ain't that right?" Tearing off the foil from the top of the packet, Wyatt flicked at the underside with his thumb, a single cigarette appeared, which he offered to Hattie.
"Okay, let's get this straight Wyatt." She said, taking the cigarette. "Essentially, what you're proposing amounts to a marriage of convenience."
"That's right Hattie, I make no bones about it." He threw a shiny metal lighter upwards into the air, which Hattie caught, used and threw back. "I've been alone a long time, I have few additional needs outside of companionship. Those needs I have, I am confident you can fulfil. Meanwhile, it can't go unnoticed, I'm no longer a man in the peak of physical health. I am not going to be around forever, sure as eggs is eggs."
For a moment, Hattie stared blankly at the groceries returned to the ground next to the side of the car. She blew a plume of bluish grey smoke out through her lips, dropped the cigarette and crushed it under the toe of her sneaker on the kerbstone. "There'll be a prenuptial then?" She said, asking her first ever question regarding the proposition.
Wyatt reached into his sheepskin jacket a second time and quick enough located an unsealed envelope, containing a folded document. "Naturally so, legal and binding, providing mutual protection. Divorce, and you will receive a settlement." He handed her the somewhat creased envelope. "Although generous, it'll not be enough to support financial independence beyond a handful of years. Let's just say it will serve as a token of my appreciation for your sacrifice, prepared as you were to give the marriage a try. Alternatively, God damn," momentarily irritated he brushed a fly off his nose, "see me through and you get everything, the property, investments, my savings and the like. No debt, no mortgage even. You'll be set for the rest of your life Hattie."
"During the meanwhile, I'll be cooking for you, cleaning for you, darning your socks and satisfying your wont between the bed sheets I don't doubt!" Hattie's anger unleashed unexpectedly, her eyes narrowed into a piercing stare. Wyatt, nonchalant, shook his head, slowly raised his hands signalling surrender, his stetson held in one hand.
"Miss Hattie, instead of getting all flustered, why not read the contract? Everything's there, check through the details. Lend me half your attention if you will and I'll summarise." As Hattie unfolded the papers, Wyatt continued. "You will have the area formerly serving as two bedrooms, today converted into one, which includes an ensuite. Think of the accommodation as a studio apartment set-up, your own private quarters. Of course, the rest of the house and gardens are available to you also, on top of which we'll share a holiday cabin located upstate in the woods." Wyatt's statement matched the plain wording of the contract, drafted by a local, prominent and respected lawyer's firm. "I have my own room and a study. We share the cooking, straight down the middle. Mrs Jackson will come to visit each Wednesday, same as she's always done, taking care of all the cleaning and washing. The groceries, you'll have noticed, are delivered. Which leaves sex, because there ain't no mistaking, that is, a thing."
"I was wondering when we'd get to that." Hattie located the heading, midway down the second page of the paperwork, 'The Sexual Relationship'.
"I ain't no monster, I don't have unusual needs nor wild fantasies, nothing that will turn you off or gross you out. No," Wyatt appealed earnestly to Hattie, "I'm a simple man, who – due to the sale of a significantly sized and lucky plot of Texan land – finds himself in an enviable position. I live a life free from worry. However, for the last ten years, I've been living life alone. Besides your companionship, what you read under that heading, that's all I'll be wanting, with regularity as specified. But, not against your will Hattie. You understand?" Hattie's gaze rested upon her name printed in italics at the bottom of the page, followed by a dotted line and a space underneath for a witness' signature.

In the early 1920s, Casper Holstein, a black man from the Danish West Indies who worked as a porter for a Fifth Avenue store, liked to study the "Clearing House" totals published in a year's worth of newspapers he'd saved. The Clearing House was an operation that managed the exchanges of money among New York City banks on a daily basis. It occurred to Holstein that the numbers printed were different every day.
Until then, lottery games existed, but the winning numbers were often chosen in unreliable ways that could produce rigged results. According to the 2010 book "Playing the Numbers," Holstein came up with an ingenious solution. Using the Clearing House totals to produce a random combination between 000 and 999, he came up with a daily three-digit winning number for a new kind of lottery game. His invention became known simply as the numbers.
It was an immediate hit and quickly created a sprawling underground economy that moved through Harlem and other black communities in the U.S. For 60 years, the numbers reigned supreme as New York City's pre-eminent daily lottery game — until 1980, when the state decided it wanted in.
In Detroit, my own mother, Fannie Davis, ran a numbers business for 34 years. That business provided us, her children, with a solid middle-class life, including a spacious family home, beautiful clothes and college educations — and, thanks to our inheritance, generational wealth. While the numbers were illegal, and therefore had to be kept a secret, I knew about another girl with a parent who ran numbers: Her name was Francie and she lived in Harlem, and she was real to me, even though she was in fact a character in a book.
When I was 10, my mom gave me a copy of Louise Meriwether's novel "Daddy Was A Number Runner," a fictionalized account of the author's life in 1930s Harlem, where the numbers helped sustain black folks through the Great Depression, when lucky players could turn a hard-earned nickel into $30. The book, published in 1970, has a foreword by James Baldwin, who wrote, "the metaphor for this growing apprehension of the iron and insurmountable rigors of one's life are here conveyed by that game known in Harlem as the numbers, the game which contains the possibility of making a 'hit' — the American dream in black-face, Horatio Alger revealed, the American success story with the price tag showing!"
I recently reread Meriwether's book — still in print thanks to the Feminist Press at the City University of New York — and her story helped me remember how vital the numbers were to black life. But The New York Times archives enlightened me about the fight of the city's black elected officials, activists and everyday people to preserve this cultural and economic institution — and how much was lost when New York State usurped the game.
Much of that loss was jobs. In 1971, The Times reported that an estimated "60 percent of the area's economic life depends on cash flow from the numbers," which employed an estimated 100,000 workers across the five boroughs. Numbers men also in many ways filled the void left by a formal economy indifferent to black residents' needs: They bankrolled many small businesses, from bars to restaurants to corner groceries, and also saved many businesses from bankruptcy. These bankers helped get out the vote, buttressed black civil rights groups and contributed to black political candidates' campaigns.
Numbers money provided a foundation from which stellar careers could be launched in everything from athletics to public service to entertainment. Colin Powell's father bought their family home with proceeds from hitting the Number. Harry Belafonte's Uncle Lenny ran a numbers racket and was an early example of success for the singer. The singer Lena Horne's father, Teddy, was a numbers operator. Stephanie St. Clair, known as Madame Queen, was one of the only women to run a successful numbers game in Harlem in the 1920s and 1930s, and became both an activist and major black employer. Such figures were often pillars of the community.
As early as 1971, when off-track-betting interests were looking to move in on the numbers action, Harlem activist James R. Lawson testified in favor of maintaining local control of the game before a legislative committee. "We intend to run it, come hell or high water," he said.
Six years later, Lawson proposed, in a radio address directed at Gov. Hugh Carey, that black and Hispanic numbers bankers buy franchises for 4,000 state-licensed numbers operations; the goal was to ensure that African-Americans benefited from a sanctioned lottery rather than fall victim to a "poor tax" burden. Yet Lawson and other black leaders, U.S. Congressman Charles Rangel among them, were not ultimately successful.
By 1980, the street-run business in New York was generating an estimated $800 million to $1.5 billion a year. That's why when lawmakers in Albany proposed a similar, daily pick-three lottery that year, a coalition of city and state officials feared there would be a crackdown on the numbers, and tried to stop the move. If the traditional numbers game could get legalized, the revenue could circulate in the black community and numbers workers could be legitimized and keep their jobs.
To the largely white Assembly — as the City College of New York historian Matthew Vaz has pointed out — the black and Hispanic participants in the numbers game were merely tax evaders and criminals. Also, New York legislators sold the public on the notion that a state-run version of the lottery would funnel a portion of the proceeds to education. This anticipation of lottery revenue, by the way, prompted New York legislators to reallocate education funds to other parts of the state budget.
Still, folks tried to fight back and marched through the streets to Gov. Carey's New York office. A sign posted in a Harlem Numbers parlor asked, "Does Gov. Carey knows How Many People Are Working In the Numbers Industry. He is Sending Our Families Back to Welfare. We don't Want Welfare. We Want Our Jobs."
Nevertheless, the state-run daily lottery began in September 1980, and in subsequent years the numbers game mostly faded away.
In most of these photos you see the criminal aspects of the numbers, rather than the everyday-ness — the communal, reciprocal and congratulatory qualities. Only one image captures the whimsically designed "tip sheets" used to help players choose a number to play. Another captures Old Aunt Dinah's Dream Book of Numbers, and Gypsy's Witch Dream Book of Numbers, two of many simple yet illuminating publications used as bibles for numbers players. These encyclopedic books interpreted dreams by assigning three-digit numbers to different symbols, and nearly any image or experience that could appear in a dream.
Dreams were everything to numbers players, just as dreams have deep significance in black culture. Many black folks believed when they dreamed about something specific, that spirit was blessing them with a certain number to play. This is one key way that the Numbers is intricately connected to black folks' larger sense of hoping for a better future, of getting closer to achieving the American dream.
The New York State Lottery Commission seemed to understand this, eventually adopting the slogan "All You Need Is A Dollar And A Dream." But by then, Harlem had known that for decades.

Good article Todd.
The game was also called "policy".
Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners.
There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.
My Grandfather had a Candy store in the Bronx ( Arthur Ave ) booked Numbers He never bet himself and never got arrested. He made a great living . He would open the store early in the morning take the numbers and close the store at noon. He would come home and go into the bedroom and listen to the races on the radio. Go back to the store around 4 paid out whoever won and book some more numbers .
My father always said there wasn't a candy store or a news stand on the East Coast that could survive without 'numbers.
He used to play at one that was across the street from a Catholic church. So he goes to play one day,l there's the guy who runs the store, a cop, and a priest. All three start looking through magazines, the priest leaves then the cop leaves. The guy that ran the store was cracking up. My father asked him what was so funny and he said, "The priest and the cop were here for the same reason you are, what number do you want to play?"
Interesting news story on the history of the lottery!
A mind once stretched by a new idea never returns to its original dimensions! Catch-22: A dilemma or difficult circumstance from which there is no escape because of mutually conflicting or dependent conditions. Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges: When the republic is at its most corrupt the laws are most numerous.
Leave it to the FEDS to want a piece of the action. I was surprised to read that the "POLICY" lasted into the early 1980's. It's a cash cow for the states and although a portion goes to Education, those with the power of the purse I'm sure are lining their pockets or giving kickbacks to special interest groups or people. It's the "American Way!"
"We make a living by what you get, You make a LIFE by what you give!"

Thanks Todd, for the great lottery history lesson!!!
"You can observe a lot just by watching." Yogi Berra, Hall of Fame baseball player. The numbers will tell you what numbers to play. Pay attention to the numbers.
My late parents had a business on the Lower East Side in Manhattan. There was a guy who would go around taking numbers. Back then they paid $600 on a $1 bet.
Every year, when it was time for my brother to come home from college for the holidays, my Mom would hit a number straight for $600 (less a 10% [$60] tip). She then had $540 to pay for the airplane ticket plus lots of $$$ left over.
You didn't have to bet 50 cents or $1 on a number. They took bets for as little as 10 cents.

"The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it in your back pocket." Will Rogers
Winning happens in a flash, Like A Bolt Of Lightning!
the bookmakers used to use the first 3 horses across the aqueduct race track finish line in the 9th race.
Big John says. You don't hit the number. The number hits you!!!!
Yep. The aqueduct was the one.
Sometimes you do the right thing just because it's right.
I thought they used the last three numbers of the track handle. The track handle was the amount of total bets wagered on the races.
I suppose that each bookmaker used different ways to come up with their "winning numbers"
I going to make you laugh . When I used to go to the store with my father . I would see a few customers in it. I would ask my father how he makes money . My father used to laugh. I never knew what he really was going until I was in High School.
Happy belated Black History Month!!Great Story!!
Awesome article Todd!
Great article and the Government, as usual, had to put their hands in the till.
Speaking of lotteries, wonder if Todd et al across the Hudson won NJ Mega Millions last night?

text: I went and saw the Yellowjackets with a bunch of music friends/profs from Butler. I got a lot of inspiration from the polished hits and electrified sounds of Russell Ferrante and Will Kennedy and the rest of the Yellowjackets. They played songs from their latest album Coherence and older hits like Shades and Timeline. I was really impressed by the way the band transitioned so smoothly from one feel to another. Sometimes there would be a really clear four beat hit from the drums with sparse playing from the bassist, and in an instant that mood blended with a newer, busier one that was more abstract and colorful in sound. Bob Mintzer explained during the concert that the Yellowjackets draw musical influence from all walks of life: including straight ahead jazz, world, fusion, funk, and soul music. To hear the product of such diverse influences really left an impression on me that will help me not only with compositions but with how I look at music I'm performing too. I think all too often musicians, especially those who incorporate improvisation into their music, lock themselves into a box of same-old same-old arrangements and ideas that they beat to death with every song. The Yellowjackets' really showed me how collaborating musicians can be creative in more things than just improvising. Being creative in arranging rhythmic hits, reharmonizations, almost anything can take a song to the next level and make it more than just a standard with the normal head/solos/head out arrangement that improvisers are used to, which is something that listeners can hang onto and really like in a song. I got a lot of really good ideas and inspiration out of this concert, and the whole thing was a really great experience. Their website is here and their latest album Coherence has been out for a year and they're still selling signed copies to ship!

I love alts. My characters other than my main have for a long time been a driving force in keeping my interest in WoW. I keep a stable of max level alts to gear up or for crafting. I often won't feel like running more than one heroic dungeon on the same character per day, but a heroic on a resto shaman doesn't feel like the same heroic on a ret paladin. One of the great things about WoW is the sheer variety of stuff to do.
Some days I feel like accomplishing, or working towards, an "end" character goal. This might be something like farming heroics in hopes for best-in-slot pre-raid drops or gear from points to rep farming for epics or actual raiding. This is gearing up my toon with equipment that should last it a while and help my end goal of a character – being raid worthy. Other days I just want to accomplish something. There's really no guarantee to pick up a specific drop from a dungeon and sometimes you're just too many randoms or quest away from having enough points or rep to buy something nice. On these days, I might take up one of my leveling toons. Especially at lower levels, but even closing on level cap, it's only a matter of time to get a few levels. With each level comes new talents or spells and can feel like a little accomplishment for the day. This is especially great after a run of bad luck on a max level toon.

As I pulled in the parking lot my normal 30 min early, I heard Leppard telling SA that he could do the 13 miles, don't worry he said. They might have been better off. This crappy plan I had put together sucked.
Torn between workouts, I decided to go with my Route 66 ballerina style leg workout. Not popular but very effective in tackling the hamstring and butt area that many of men lack. Remember your M's like a tight butt as well as you do! If you don't think so, ask them!
Time to get going and the boys gathered around with one FNG. Disclaimer was given and we started.
Warmup began.
Your Q for the day did do a lousy job on most workout names today. I had to ask forgiveness from the PAX.
Don Q, Hillbillies, SSH, CottonPickers, and Squats all 15 IC. Then we started Moroccan Nightclubs. We did about 30 or so IC until the last PAX had joined the group. Mosey to the nearby parking lot.
Route 66. We started with
Skater Squats
Salute plank with Bear Crawl between lines
Mosey to the pick nick shelter (Gumby got the lights on) we did some bench work.
Dips, step ups, Gold digger gave us derkins and box jumps.
Back to the parking lot for more 66s.
Sandy V with Crab Walk between parking lines.
One Legged Deadlift
Toy Soldier
As we head back to the start we do 5 humpees at the speed bump in the road.
At the start we finished up with a round of marry. Everyone got a chance to lead an exercise and everyone did.
Great time as always. Several complaints. I like that, keep them coming.
I told the guys a story of an abandoned child. How there was rejoicing at her birth. The take away is, when you submit your heart and life to Jesus, the Heavans rejoice!!! It's your new birthday!!
Christmas party in a in a couple of hours!!
Pray for our Cotters and each other!!

NATO to prepare for Taliban assault
NATO defence ministers plan to step up preparations for an expected spring assault by Taliban rebels on alliance forces.india Updated: Feb 07, 2007, 15:05 IST
NATO defence ministers will meet in Seville on Thursday to step up preparations for an expected spring assault by Taliban insurgents on alliance forces in southern Afghanistan.
With the Taliban reportedly gearing up for more attacks on NATO soldiers in the warmer months ahead, alliance governments are under pressure to increase troop and aid contributions to their 34,000-strong Afghan operation.
"It is important we do our work now... to root out Taliban safe havens, strengthen (military) operations and border controls," said a senior US official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Defence ministers must ensure that 2007 can be a "better year" for Afghanistan, the US official insisted, referring to the massive death toll in the country last year when 4,000 people - including 170 foreign troops - were killed in battles with Taliban forces.
The call for a revised alliance strategy for battling Taliban insurgents will be made by General John Craddock, the new supreme allied commander Europe, who has been to Afghanistan twice since taking over NATO command earlier this year.
The US is also piling up the pressure for a stronger NATO effort in Afghanistan.
"If we do have a spring offensive, it must be by the Afghan government and NATO," the US official told reporters, adding: "We are asking every ally to look at 2007 as an opportunity...to turn a positive corner in Afghanistan."
The message is likely to be hammered home at the Seville meeting by US Secretary of Defence Robert Gates, attending his first NATO ministerial meeting.
A similar plea for bolstering NATO's Afghan operation was made in Brussels last month by US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice who called for a "comprehensive" alliance blueprint for Afghanistan, including a boost in troop levels, more development aid and stronger counter-narcotics efforts.
Taking the lead, the US has said it intends to spend $10.6 billion to beef up Afghanistan's army and police forces and invest in infrastructure projects. US troop levels in the country are being increased by 3,000 soldiers.
But Washington's plea for more troops - and more assistance - for the war-racked country has met with a mixed response in other NATO capitals.
Britain has said it will add a further 800 troops to its contingent in the most volatile regions in southern Afghanistan.
But other major allies, including France, Spain, Italy and Turkey, with soldiers in the Afghan mission have signalled they will not send more soldiers to the country in the immediate future.
Germany has said it plans to deploy Tornado jets for surveillance with NATO forces in Afghanistan but the fighter aircraft will be barred from any combat activities.
If approved by the German parliament, Tornado pilots will be authorised to provide intelligence for NATO attacks on Taliban formations but will not be allowed to use their bombs or missiles to carry out attacks, according to German officials.
Germany has about 2,700 troops serving with the 35,000-member NATO force in Afghanistan. But German troops are mainly restricted to serving in relatively peaceful northern Afghanistan, and Chancellor Angela Merkel has rejected calls for them to take part in fighting in the southern part of the country.
NATO insists that it has enough troops in Afghanistan to counter any Taliban spring offensive and that as such ministers in Seville will not be engaging in an effort to generate forces.
However, any offer of more soldiers by allies would be "welcomed with open arms", said a NATO official.
The focus would also be on training and equipping the Afghan national army and police force and increasing efforts to fight drug trafficking, the official added.
Separately, ministers are expected to voice the alliance's determination to ensure stability in Kosovo during the months ahead, following UN envoy Martti Ahtisaari's proposal for a final status "settlement package" for the Serbian breakaway province.
In addition, Russian Defence Minister Sergei Ivanov is likely to use the meeting to voice Moscow's concern at US moves to widen its anti-missile defence system by locating a base with 10 interceptor missiles in Poland and a radar system detecting threats in the neighbouring Czech Republic.
US officials insist that the plan is not a threat to Russian security but admit that they expected Ivanov in Seville to express his views with "candour".

My designs grace town and country kitchens across England from Suffolk to Cornwall. They are all unique but there is no mistaking my work. My tiles are inspired by nature and by the pottery styles of European majolica, faience and Delftware.
They often feature hens and my own invented Bird, a long-beaked creature with splendid tail and beady eye. I love blues, greens, yellows and corals.
I will send you a sketch of the design for your approval and a quotation. And it all costs less than you would expect. There are two sizes of square tile, 4.25″ and 6″.
My tiles owe their rich texture to my painstaking four-day production process.

text: by James Randerson, The Guardian In todays print and online Guardian James Randerson reports: "For the retired businessman bored with zero gravity flights, heli-skiing, flying ex-military Russian Mig fighter jets and swimming with sharks, climbing Everest canbe the perfect next date on the adventure calendar. But research on more than2,000 expeditions to the world´s highest peak has shown that older climbers are more likely to fail and more likely to die on the mountain. Those over 60 are three times as likely to die in their attempt compared with younger climbers." UKClimbing.com´s Tom Briggs gets a mention too saying that, "It has attracted more older people who have got time and money on their hands," said Tom Bridge (sic) of Jagged Globe, a specialist mountaineering company which takes clients up Everest.

Despite these grim statistics, from 2000 to 2010, the annual stroke death rate fell 35.8%.2 With the growing use of stroke units, thrombolysis, and other new therapies, there is increased hope for patients with acute stroke who present to the ED. ++ Stroke is generally defined as any disease process that interrupts blood flow to the brain. Injury is related to the loss of oxygen and glucose substrates necessary for high-energy phosphate production and the presence of mediators of secondary cellular injury.

Two weeks ago, a mudslide devastated the community of Oso in Washington. Days later, down the coast, a 5.1-magnitude earthquake hit Los Angeles. Neither of these events was entirely unpredictable, nor completely preventable. But both represent the new normal that cities everywhere must increasingly face from the combined impact of globalisation and urbanisation.
This sense of urgency has been exacerbated by the United Nations' climate report forecasting more widespread extreme weather and greater associated potential to slow economic growth, increase violent conflict over resources and erode food security. For the many cities located in fragile ecosystems and along coasts, the impacts can be catastrophic. Coastal flooding could produce damages costing $1 trillion a year by 2050. In the United States alone, 23 of the 25 most densely populated countries are along the coast.
These events take both a human and an economic toll. Twenty-five percent of small businesses that fail due to a shock never recover. And thanks to globalisation, the shutdown of production in one part of the world – such as we saw after the earthquake and tsunami in Japan – can devastate manufacturing in others, as economic losses to ripple across the world. It's no wonder that earthquake resistance is ranked as the most important criteria for choosing new offices for 92% of businesses in Japan.
While we cannot prevent shocks from happening, we can affect the degree to which these events disrupt a city's ability to provide essential services and the time it takes to rebound. Resilience, which will be on the agenda at this week's World Urban Forum in Medellín, Colombia, provides a framework for strategies that will build the capacity of individuals, communities, institutions, businesses and systems within a city to survive, adapt, and grow no matter what kinds of chronic stresses and acute shocks they experience.
Resilience is more than just disaster response – it equips cities to deal with a range of challenges before they happen, saving cities potentially billions of dollars. For example, a recent study shows that making all the necessary repairs to New York City's power grid after it is damaged by natural disasters could add up to $3bn over the next 20 years. The study also calculated that the same investment in protective measures, including smart-grid technology, could reduce the damage by $2bn – while contributing to economic gains of about $4bn.
This is just one example of the "resilience dividend"; another is manifested by the World Urban Forum itself. That this year's conference is happening in the city of Medellín speaks volumes for the transformative power of resilience strategies. At the height of Colombia's drug wars in the 1990s, Medellín was one of the most violent cities in the world. But over the last decade, the city has worked hard to recover from years of violence, not only with law-enforcement initiatives but by making a series of innovative, public investments – such as urban gondolas and a hillside escalator, designed to integrate the city's low-income residents and communities with its wealthier commercial centre.
Now, when violence or crime happens in Medellín – and it still does – the city doesn't fall back against the ropes; it has the tools to rebound much more quickly from these disruptions, enabling it to play host to hundreds of global leaders.
To help more cities realise the resilience dividend, the Rockefeller Foundation launched the 100 Resilient Cities Challenge, a $100m effort to build urban resilience in each city, establish resilience as a key economic development and competitive advantage lever, and provide a two-way distribution channel for innovations in products and services, technology and financing.
Each city selected will hire a full-time chief resilience officer (CRO) to co-ordinate planning, mobilise stakeholders and design a resilience strategy. This week, Medellín announced its first CRO, Santiago Uribe Rocha. He and his counterparts in cities around the world will co-ordinate all aspects of resilience – from building codes to public infrastructure to disaster response systems. Additionally, CROs will share their knowledge and best practices, and cities will be able to access special financing mechanisms and technical expertise to help implement their resilience plans.
We can't know where or when the next crisis will come. But we know it will. Cities that invest in resilience today will reap a resilience dividend – stronger economies, better infrastructure, more access to opportunity – in addition to their capacity to recover from shocks more effectively. Medellín is already benefiting from its investment in ways small and large: hosting a global conference that would have been unthinkable a decade ago, and building a more dynamic, prosperous and liveable city. A model for cities worldwide.

SoulCycle, Inc. ("SoulCycle") has agreed to pay up to $9.2 million to settle a gift card class action lawsuit in California.
What were the allegations of wrongdoing against SoulCycle and what are the terms of settlement?
As we previously blogged, the class action lawsuit against SoulCycle alleged that the fitness company fraudulently sold illegally expiring gift cards and gift certificates to its consumers. For its part, SoulCycle argued that it did not sell gift cards and that customers had merely mistaken their spin class purchases for gift cards. However, allegations that participation in SoulCycle classes required riders to purchase fitness classes in advance and that SoulCycle recouped unused balances if not redeemed within extraordinarily short windows (often as brief as 30 days), ultimately allowed the class action to survive SoulCycle's earlier motion to dismiss.
Following a lengthy litigation process, involving extensive discovery, SoulCycle agreed to settle the action. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, SoulCycle has agreed to reinstate up to two expired classes per customer or, alternatively, reimburse the customers $25 for each of those classes. Additionally, SoulCycle has agreed to enact various policy changes designed to ensure that its customers understand that the purchase of SoulCycle classes is not the equivalent of purchasing a gift certificate or a gift card, including associated revisions to its website and mobile app terms and conditions.
Protect Your Business Against a Gift Card Class Action
Electronic Funds Transfer Act ("EFTA") lawsuits, under which companies are often accused of gift card-related misconduct, have grown in prominence with the explosion in popularity of gift cards as a form of currency and promotion. As the sizeable SoulCycle settlement demonstrates, the legal pitfalls associated with gift cards can result in crushing liability when EFTA wrongdoing is alleged. As a result, it is critical that businesses work closely with knowledgeable counsel before and throughout any marketing campaign or business venture intended to offer customers the convenience of using gift cards and/or gift certificates.

When designing an API Proxy, a resource path of just a slash ( / ) may be defined, and one may want requests made to both the slash proxy.pathsuffix as well as the root base path to be directed to the slash resource. Here's an example setup.
API calls to both the following URLs should be routed to the "resourceone" resource.
The flow Condition will get defined as follows for the "resourceone" resource.
<Flow name="resourceone"> <Description/> <Request/> <Response/> <Condition>(proxy.pathsuffix MatchesPath "/") and (request.verb = "POST")</Condition> </Flow>
The behavior of this is that incoming requests http://org-test.apigee.net/somepath will be routed to the "resourceone" flow, but requests for http://org-test.apigee.net/somepath/ will not be routed to any of the conditional flows.
This has to do with how the MatchesPath operator evaluates the proxy.pathsuffix. It doesn't play well with a pathsuffix of just slash. To get around this, define the flow condition as follows.
<Flow name="resourceone"> <Description/> <Request/> <Response/> <Condition>((proxy.pathsuffix == "") or (proxy.pathsuffix == "/")) and (request.verb = "POST")</Condition> </Flow>

After 1832, about one in five men had the right to vote. Almost half of adult males, though, were still not eligible to vote when they accepted the call to fight and die for their country in the First World War. It wasn't until 1918 that the right to vote was extended, not only to women - which of course we hear a great deal about - but to all men. So how can this be - that this part of the story is almost completely unknown? How come when we celebrate the extension of the franchise to women, we don't talk about its extension to poor and working class men?

Last Word on Lists
One of the more unusual aspects of BOOL is its List notation, which is somewhat similar to how Python uses indentation for code blocks. (In fact, the List Character can be defined as the TAB character, which makes BOOL look very similar.)
This post discusses current (and presumed final)
List syntax, including
Gated Lists.
Arrays Yet Again
But hopefully once and for all. What started in Disarray, and then seemed briefly Final, yet was still Revisited, has, just perhaps, at last settled into a design that doesn't nag me. (Or, at least, doesn't nag me so much I find myself constantly chewing on the bone.)
It feels that I have finally solved how I want BOOL to do arrays!
Not Dead After All
At some point this year I realized I'd almost entirely given up on ever finishing BOOL, and I decided that was okay. The language was always butt ugly, and conflicting design goals combined with a lot of indecision,… it just began to seem pointless, so I decided to stop thinking about it and move on.
But recently I find myself noodling around with the idea of, yes, damn it, finishing it in some form, even if it doesn't come that close to the original dream (which has proved problematic).
I'd gotten pretty close back in 2016 with Python, so why not?

On this episode of the Write Your Own Script podcast, Coach Kathy's guest is LaChelle Parker, a lifestyle strategist who encourages women to live their own truth. LaChelle's passion for this topic started years ago when she realized that she was a high-achieving woman who had everything externally that she had been told to want, but she found herself in crisis internally. However, she discovered that having the courage to admit that she was struggling to herself and then to other women was the key to finding herself, and learning to live in her truth. In her experience, it is much more common for women to become "9-5 robots" (making breakfast, getting the kids to school, being unfulfilled at work, eating lunch at your desk, picking the kids up, eating dinner, and then starting all over again) than to unearth your truth and make the necessary lifestyle changes to live in it.
In 'The Courage to Tell Your Truth' you will learn that telling your truth is a journey that does not come overnight. But it is worth all of the effort it requires. It can be scary to be honest and authentic if that has never been a part of your relationships before; but either your friends will stick around or you will find new tribe who support you. In the end, the biggest lesson to take away is to not be afraid to recognize the symptoms of crisis in your life and take steps to live your truth instead.
What you'll learn in this episode:
- How to create space for the truth
- How to find yourself and your truth as a high-achiever in crisis
- How to stop making decisions based on other people's expectations
- The importance of seeking out a friend or a tribe you can trust
- How to find the courage to admit you're not "fine"
Key Words: Women, Truth, Courage, Struggle, Authenticity, Connection
Expert lifestyle strategist, speaker, and author, LaChelle T. Parker's mission, and heart-centered life's work is dedicated to empowering and motivating women to achieve a life they desire and deserve.
