Pursuing Financial Inclusion
AmCham Indonesia's Financial Services and Fintech Mission explored regulatory challenges over a range of issues
By Peter Sean Lie
Thursday, July 5, 2018
Data localization, the national payment gateway, reinsurance, regulatory concerns and the emergence of the financial technology (fintech) industry were all topics discussed by American companies and important stakeholders from the Indonesian government in a very successful Financial Services and Fintech Mission held as part of Initiative Indonesia 2018, a joint AmCham-US Chamber of Commerce program.
US firms representing the insurance, technology and financial services industries took part in the mission held on June 27-29 in Jakarta, which saw a series of engagements with the Ministry of Communication and Informatics, the Ministry of Finance, the Financial Services Authority (OJK), and the Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM).
"There are serious challenges in Indonesia for payments companies due to the National Payment Gateway and also for insurance firms due to market entry barriers," said A. Lin Neumann, AmCham Indonesia's Managing Director. "We discussed all these issues and more."
The delegation of companies also met with the US Ambassador to Indonesia, Joseph R Donovan, in a warm breakfast meeting. There were also special engagements with the Indonesia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN) and the Indonesian Employer's Association (APINDO) as well as representatives of Indonesia's private sector including start-ups and rising players in the emerging fintech sector.
Financial technology players in Indonesia and abroad also participated in the mission during the Industry Leaders' Forum, discussing issues and opportunities.
"Five years ago, fintech barely existed in Indonesia and now it is a vibrant and growing part of the financial scene," said Neumann. "It helps with financial inclusion and is also a growing lure for investment. We are excited to be part of that growth."
Government stakeholder engagement
A number of ministries and agencies were visited by the delegation during the three-day mission. On the first day, the delegation met with Fauzi Ichsan, Chief Executive Director of the Indonesia Deposit Insurance Corporation, whose responsibility is to ensure depositor funds and maintain stability in the banking system. Reinsurance was the main focus of the discussion, along with data localization in the banking sector.
At the Ministry of Finance, Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani Indrawati was accompanied by the Director General of Taxation Robert Pakpahan and answered questions from the delegation. Tax treatment for e-commerce was the main issue discussed, concerning the government's tax plans for the emerging sector. Sri Mulyani also applauded American companies for their contribution to the Indonesian economy.
The mission also hosted Rudiantara, the Minister of Communication and Informatics and Thomas Lembong, chairman of BKPM, in a lunch meeting at the Mandarin Oriental. They exchanged thoughts and concerns regarding issues such as data localization, updates to the negative investment list, technology and financial inclusion.
The delegation also met two representatives from the OJK in separate meetings: Triyono Gani, the Head of Digital Finance Innovation and Microfinance Development; and Imansyah, Senior Advisor on International Affairs. The meetings discussed the OJK's strategic initiatives for 2018, the impact of the fintech industry on conventional banks, and issues in the insurance sector.
As well as dealing with government stakeholders, the mission also engaged with local business associations on fintech and financial services. A lunch meeting with representatives of KADIN and APINDO was held at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
In her opening remarks, Shinta Kamdani, KADIN Vice Chair, said that she appreciated the support of foreign companies in Indonesia. The discussion continued on topics such as the US-China trade war and its impact on Indonesia, the negative investment list, foreign direct investment incentives such as tax holidays, and the plan to set up a joint working group on fintech.
The fintech discussion continued in the Industry Leaders' Forum, where the delegation met with various Indonesian fintech and e-commerce players including Traveloka, Go-Pay and Investree. The forum mainly discussed the conducive start-up regulatory environment in Indonesia, considering the majority of fintech players are start-ups.
A reception was later held in conjunction with AmCham's Joint Chambers Networking Evening, which was co-hosted with the Indonesian Australia Business Council (IABC), the Italian Business Association in Indonesia (IABI) and the Indonesia Canada Chamber of Commerce (ICCC).
Initiative Indonesia 2018
The mission was the second of the 2018 US-Indonesia Investment Initiative (USIII), which has provided continuous engagement on investment issues between the US and Indonesia for five years. Initiative Indonesia offers US companies the opportunity to meet directly with the Indonesian government and other stakeholders to gain more clarity on economic regulations and policies.

Currently they are each eating their own bowl of snow that I scooped from our porch. They are in heaven. Who knew? Snow+bowls+spoons=happiest kids ever. They are mixing, and distributing to other bowls and plates from their play kitchen. The snow is melting faster than they can eat it, creating a wet mess, but at least it's just water.
We've also been baking up a storm. We made cranberry orange bread, more chocolate chip cookies than you shake a stick at, cranberry chocolate chip bread walnut bread (which I ate the entire loaf in 2 days). We painted pictures. We played a made up game "dinosaur of the forest" in which Abigail is always the dinosaur and she chases Olivia and I around the house. She yells "ROOAAARR!" Olivia and I scream terrified screams and run away from her. Then we laugh uncontrollably.
We go from one random toy to the next. Never putting away. Leaving toys strewn about all three floors of this apartment.
And we watch TV. Probably more than an hour a day. Probably closer to 2 hours a day. And I'm kind of okay with that. Today Olivia watched the Cat in the Hat and she learned the colors of the rainbow, and which order they appear. I asked her a couple hours after the show was over what color is on top of the rainbow. She told me red. I asked which was on the bottom, and she told me purple. So I feel justified in letting her watch TV since she's not just mindlessly sitting there, but she really does learn what she watches. And then sometimes I take what we watch and try to create a little lesson about it. Or activity or something. So today we painted rainbows and hung them in the playroom.
We leave tomorrow for ARIZONA!!!! My house is a disaster and the laundry situation is out of control. No packing has even begun. I need to get busy.

Sentinels of the Multiverse is a cooperative strategic battle card game where the object of the game is to defeat a Villain using a team of Heroes, each with their own unique Deck of cards and Powers.
The digital version we are reviewing here today was originally released as a tabletop card / board game that has won a lot of praise for its original approach to the genre. Appealing to the nerd or geek in all of us, Sentinels of the Multiverse captures that comic book aesthetic perfectly, with a faithful art style and a generous roster of Heroes and Villains to choose from and play against.
But does simply looking the part give this game the right super powers, or is it a bad game? Read on to find out…
Sentinels of the Multiverse's tutorial is helpful for learning gameplay, but you can only ever select available actions and the game moves through the phases of a turn automatically, so you can skip the tutorial and jump right into game play if you wish. Just don't come crying to me later if you don't understand something that would have been covered in the tutorial, alright? I'm just kidding. Do as you please.
Before you start the game you can choose the setup, and thus the difficulty of the game. Villains currently have a range of 1-3 for their difficulty, with 3 being the most difficult. Heroes have a similar scale, but this time it's about their complexity to play. Some Heroes, such as the one called Absolute Zero, don't focus on a traditional style of beat down, instead opting for a completely different style. After selecting your Villain, a team of 3-5 Heroes and an Environment for them to fight in, you can begin the game, and the fight!
The Villain is the first to get their round, hatching their nefarious plot to bring doom and destruction to your righteous Heroes. Each Villain has a unique setup, Powers, victory condition, and deck of cards that help them attempt to carry out their evil plot. For example, Baron Blade will launch his attacks and win the game when he has 15 cards in his Trash, forcing your Heroes to regroup and try again in another game.
Your Heroes will be next to take their turns, and just like the Villain, each one have unique decks, Powers, and cards. From what I can tell, the decks are pre-constructed and there is no way of changing the cards within. I don't mind this approach as it means every game can be different depending on the Heroes you've chosen, and it can also make a significant impact on the overall difficulty of the game. Most abilities are basic and are what you'd probably expect from a card game: draw cards, use additional Powers, aid companions by increasing Damage, or by dealing direct Damage through an attack.
Each Hero goes through the same game phases, and these consist of the following: Play, Power, and Draw. During the Play phase, you can play a card from your hand. Some of these cards have a single use, whilst others are on-going, or you can play different Equipment cards that remain in play. Most cards will cause a single interaction, but some will cause a chain of effects to happen. If more than one matching card can be targeted by that effect, you will be able to choose the resolution order. Choosing can often help you stack effects, or bypass the negative ones from occurring altogether. This is where a lot of the fun can be had, in causing chains of resolving effects and working out how you'd like them to resolve.
The Power phase is where you can use the active Hero's Power or one from a card that is in that Hero's play area that also has a Power. You will sometimes be able to use multiple Powers a turn with the aid of other cards in play. The Draw phase is the last active phase you'll go through, once all other effects have resolved that turn.
Play then passes to the next Hero, or the Environment if the last Hero has taken their turn. The Environment, just like Heroes and Villains, also has a unique deck of cards. It doesn't have a particular objective, but can cause problems for you if you're not careful, and sometimes it can inadvertently help you. In one game I played, it was the Environment cards that delivered the final blow to the Villain I was fighting! It's kind of fun to have this semi-random element present in the game and I found it to be one of my favorite things about the game's mechanics.
Modes and Features
Sentinels of the Multiverse is a cooperative game, but can also be a single-player game. How can a game be both cooperative and single-player, you ask? Well I guess the developers have called it that because you use a team of Heroes to take down the Villain and you can get different people to pilot a Hero each, if you want, or you can play solo and play all of the Heroes yourself. There is no online multiplayer either, only local co-op.
There aren't any alternate game modes to speak of, per se. You can randomize the Heroes available for the fight in each game you play, and there's a cool feature that let's you "explore the Multiverse", which shows you the greater story details behind each Hero and Villain. Other than that, though, there are no additional modes to play around with.
The in-game store will offer you access to a couple of the expansions available, which are currently a small offering. These will add new Heroes, Villains, and Environments to the game. This does offer some replay value beyond the core game, if you really enjoy the game enough to want to see more content, but it's not enough to significantly change the way the game is played. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the extra variation these add-ons created in the game play.
Deckbuilding and Strategy
Sentinels of the Multiverse isn't too deep in strategy, and there is no deck-building to be done here, either. I personally found this to be quite disappointing, as building a deck for my Hero has a much bigger appeal to me than not being able to. If there was another game with a similar cost to this that allowed that, I know which one I would choose…
Aside from that, there is some strategy that can be figured out once you've examined the different cards available to each Hero through the Multiverse. However, it is a limited strategy and one that is ruled by complete randomness, so be aware of this if you're usually frustrated by high RNG in games. You'll not be able to prepare your deck perfectly for what each Villain and Environment may throw at your Heroes.
A personal strategy I liked to employ was to power up Heroes using their own health points. This might seem a little crazy in thought, but is great in practice, as you'll be dealing more damage to the Villain than what your normal abilities would be able to grant. Absolute Zero and The Fanatic do this very well. Be careful though, because if you do this too often, your Hero will fall.
If one of your chosen Heroes does fall, it is not the end for them. In fact, they will flip over and gain access to other powers that will help and encourage your remaining Heroes to avenge the fallen. When a Hero is in this state, it is no longer able to play cards, or use a Power that would attack. Their Powers are more geared toward a support role at this time. (This is a cool piece of game design and I really like the way it is implemented, so kudos to the designers of the original game on that one.)
Final Thoughts
I really do find Sentinels of the Multiverse to be a fun and exciting game, for the most part. I enjoy the approach to a battle card game that is different from others that I have played before. I like the randomness given by the Environment deck and that each Villain needs a different approach to defeat them. What I also feel is that there is a lot of wasted potential with the game, too. It could have done so much more to wow you, and although this is a faithful digital conversion of the physical game, they could have done more with it and explored the unique advantages of the digital space, perhaps.
The user interface is simple and functions well, though you may want to speed up the animations and dialogue boxes that appear on screen, as they can take some time to get through. Graphically speaking, there isn't much in Sentinels of the Multiverse that'll amaze you, but for what it sets out to do, it does a good job at representing a superhero universe full of fighting Heroes and Villains. What else would one expect from a game that took its looks from comic books?
I would have liked a bit more done with the graphics, such as animations and possible cut sequences for fights between the Heroes and Villains that have each other as a nemesis. I would also hope that the developers of the game offer us an extra game mode where we can tweak our Heroes' decks in future expansions.
Either way, as long as the expansions keep coming, I will continue to play Sentinels of the Multiverse and see how the game evolves. If you're interested, you definitely should check it out.

Shawn Mendes just honored victims of gun violence with an emotional tribute at the Billboard Music Awards ... and with the help of students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas.
Shawn took the stage Sunday to perform his song "Youth," and was joined by singer Khalid ... who's featured on the song. Toward the end of the performance, multiple students from MSD's choir came out as well to help him finish out the tune.
We broke the story ... Shawn was aiming to send an uplifting message with the Parkland students' cameo -- especially in the wake of another school shooting this week that left 10 people dead.
As you can see ... the message was well received by those there. A standing ovation ... and not a dry eye in the room.

Torment (Fallen, #2)
By: Lauren Kate
Pub date: September 28th, 2010
Hell on earth.
That's what it's like for Luce to be apart from her fallen angel boyfriend, Daniel. It took them an eternity to find one another, yet now he tells her he must go away. Just long enough to hunt down the Outcasts— immortals who want to kill Luce.
He hides her at Shoreline,a school on the rocky California coast with unusually gifted students: Nephilim, the offspring of fallen angels and humans. At Shoreline, Luce learns what the Shadows are, and how she can use them as windows on her previous lives.
Yet the more Luce learns, the more she realizes that Daniel hasn't told her everything. He's hiding something—something dangerous. What if Daniel's version of the past isn't actually true? What if Luce is really meant to be with someone else?
Neutral Waters
Daniel stared out at the bay. His eyes were as gray as the thick fog enveloping the Sausalito shoreline, as the choppy water lapping the pebble beach beneath his feet. There was no violet to them at all; he could feel it. She was too far away.
He braced himself against the biting gale off the water. But even as he tugged his thick black pea coat closer, he knew it was no use. Hunting always left him cold.
Only one thing could warm him today, and she was out of reach. He missed the way the crown of her head made the perfect ledge for his lips. He imagined filling the circle of his arms with her body, leaning down to kiss her neck. But it was a good thing Luce couldn't be here now. What she'd see would horrify her.
Behind him, the bleat of sea lions flopping in heaps along the south shore of Angel Island sounded the way he felt: jaggedly lonely, with no one around to hear.
No one except Cam...
Very excited for this one! The last line of the above summary has me all sorts of curious. To read the remainder of the excerpt you can do so here. Learn more about Lauren Kate and her novels at her official website and blog.

Spice up your salmon for an easy midweek meal with a bit of wow factor, or even for a casual dinner party. Indian spices and tamarind bring depth of flavour
Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the tamarind paste with the lime, sugar, salt, chilli powder, turmeric, garlic and ginger. Add enough water – you won't need much – to make sufficient marinade to coat the four pieces of fish. Turn the salmon over in the marinade, making sure it gets well coated, cover and put in the fridge for 1 hr (or 30 mins is fine if you're in a rush).
Heat the oil in a large frying pan and add the chillies. Fry over a medium heat for 30-40 secs, then add the salmon fillets. Brown the fillets on each side (including the skin), then transfer them to a roasting tin. Spoon some of the chilli oil from the pan over them. Bake in the oven for 12 mins, or until the fish is cooked right through to the centre (check with the tip of a knife). Serve with rice, lime wedges and an Indian chutney.


text: Hello everybody, I am a real fan of the whole android-thing. First I had a T-Mobile G1, which IMHO was a pioneer for android. Good try, but bad performance and weak processing in general. then I saw that dogfight video between the HTC hero and the iphone 3gs, which convinced me to upgrade to the T-Mobile G2 aka HTC hero. that was a huge improvement for android and I began to love android, especially with the modaco custom firmware roms, being updated by the great Paul O'Brien. But there were still too many bugs with the hero and I changed to an iphone 3G. now I really miss the things, motorola is claiming in the teaser for its DROID, which I'm totally excited about. so to be honest: I can't wait reading a review about this huge improvement and I hope that motorola will release this wonderful piece of hardware in europe very soon. regards jupp

When travelling in Vietnam it's not uncommon to see baskets upon baskets of Vietnamese style baguettes. Bikes loaded up with the crispy loaves wheeling their way around each city block. It's extremely difficult to resist purchasing one of these delicious snacks. It was also easy to find sandwich stalls on street corners which would usually serve a pork on bread style sandwich with loads of toppings. It was possible to get vegetarian options as well but that depended largely communicating correctly with the vendor. Thankfully I had a non-vegetarian friend who would gratefully accept extra pork on his sandwich.
Now that I am back in Canada, I was given a Vietnamese cookbook for Christmas Real Vietnamese Cooking by: Tracey Lister and Andreas Pohl, and I have been studying it as though every time I enter the kitchen there will be an exam as to whether or not the food is exactly how I remember it. The first recipe I attempted is the Vietnamese baguette, which was not an original food to be found in Vietnam. It was introduced by the French during the colonial period. The main difference between the French and Vietnamese baguette is the addition of rice flour in the Vietnamese version.
I made this recipe several times to test it out and get it just the way I wanted. I settled on making three baguettes vs. six which is what the recipe suggests. This way I have larger baguettes and can make beautiful sandwiches to share. The baguettes do require a little longer baking time though, but it's totally worth it!
I've also included a few snaps from our adventures in Vietnam. We spent a month there and had an amazing time hiking, walking, biking, meeting new people, and of course eating! Every city/village/town has a dish specialty, and it was always exciting to see what that dish would be upon arrival.
In Vietnam we didn't always arrive at our destination with an arrangement for a place to stay. This was usually ok, but there were a few times when we were walking in small towns and really didn't know where we were and couldn't find any sort of lodging options. The locals were always so helpful in showing us the way to a safe place to stay! We were even invited for dinner one night with the friendliest family, it was such an amazing evening. It's super inspiring that strangers are so accommodating, I hope to help other strangers whenever I can, and maybe even feed them a few cookies and tea!
Back to the bread! An opportune moment for butter is fresh bread from the oven. Now you can devour this loaf instantly with the butter melting on a warm(HOT) slice. Or you can wait a few minutes until is cools enough to make a sandwich! I made vegetarian sandwiches like I would have ordered in Vietnam with scrambled egg, veggies, cilantro, and a spicy chili sauce.
Hope you enjoy this recipe, and thanks for stopping by! See you again soon,

Nick joined Evergreen Subaru the week before we opened, or as he's fond of saying, before they even had a trash can in place! He's been in the car business his whole life (his dad had a dealership on Long Island).
On his own time he keeps busy as a welder and taking part in historic reenactments (French, Indian wars, mostly). Nick is also the vehicle fabricator for the eppybird Coke and Mentos Car.

The same is true with growing leaders. At Freedom House & Freedom House Kids, growing leaders is a big deal! It's a passion like none other! Just as I want the bulbs to provide beauty in the next season, leaders must be purposefully prepared & ready for the next season God has in store!
Over the last few months, our FHkids leadership teams have been digging deep!
- They have navigated the tools together - digging into several great teaching resources (tools).
- They have invested together - cultivating mentoring time (soil) with the leaders.
- They have provided safety together - offering a safe environment (atmosphere) for current leaders and growing leaders to "dig deep".
The courage that these leaders have given, is breathtaking. They have been brave, faithful and passionate to pursue God's best for their lives. Digging deep has often required them to step into areas that they didn't know were still "rocky" in the underbrush. Digging deep has required them to be vulnerable, many trusting for the first time after "harsh, cold seasons" had come and gone.
The beauty of watching a new confidence and passion in their leadership that may have been buried, pushed aside, forgotten - for long cold seasons, finally pushing thru the barriers - is astoundingly beautiful! Just like the multicolored rows of tulips that will line my front porch in the spring!
Chris and I are so proud of these leaders! What fun it has been to learn along with them! What a sight to see! We love having this awesome view of watching God at work!
A few have asked ... "What are your top recommended books?". There are so many fabulous resources to share, but here are a few of the non-negotiables that The Haas' hold close.
Grab yourself a copy, grab the shovel and dig in!

Love Apples? They're not just Red Anymore
By Mindy McIntosh-Shetter
I will have to say I am a tomato lover.
I just love those little globes of red delight that sometimes springs love.
But when I think about tomatoes, I always think of the color red and romance.
For me, there is no other color for tomatoes then red but guess what; tomatoes come in a rainbow of colors.
Tomatoes can come in a range of colors that includes creamy white to lime green and pink, yellow, golden orange, and the favorite red. As a matter of fact, the red tomato is so popular that there are 434 different red varieties. The next most popular is orange to yellow colored tomatoes, which include 82 varieties along with Read the rest of this entry »

LARGE FORMAT PHOTOGRAPHY Workshop
This 4- session class explores the opportunity to work specifically with 4x5 field cameras in areas around San Francisco to gain control and image quality that far surpasses smaller formats. The view camera's design allows the front (lens) standard and the rear (film) standard to move independently of one another. This allows for the movements known as swing and tilt, which give enormous control of subject depth of field, and rise, fall, and shift, which allow for excellent control of subject geometry (particularly useful in the photography of architecture). View cameras are also known as a large format cameras, and as that implies, the resulting negative, anywhere from 4x5 inches to 8x10 inches, can render prints of extremely high resolution and smooth tonal gradations.
Students will start with an overview of 4x5 cameras including camera operation, perspective, focus control, and more. The following sessions include one onsite shooting at locations such as Golden Gate Park, Lands End, Palace of Fine Arts (specific locations TBD on first night of class based on students' interest). This class will cover all aspects unique to the view camera as well as sheet film handling and development.
PRE-REQ: Shooting in the Manual mode with cameras. View camera experience is helpful but not necessary.
BRING: Notebook and view camera (if you have one). Cameras/tripods can be rented for additional fees
INSTRUCTOR: Mark Citret
DATES: n/a
*SOLD OUT, please contact us to be put on the waitlist
Workshop Cost: $250
Early Registration: $225
4x5 view camera rental available for duration of class. for additional fee

Picnic Forces Family Members To Pretend To Like Each Other For 3 Hours
Ottawa- Andrew Haydon Park on the shores of the picturesque Ottawa River was the backdrop this past Sunday for the annual Carruthers Family Picnic. Bringing together upwards of 20 members of the Carruthers family to one location for more than 20 minutes forced individuals to pretend they actually cared about fellow family members while they ate undercooked M&M Meatshop burgers and dry, home-made coleslaw.

Kanata Family Praise Giant SUV After Encountering Some Uneven Pavement And Gravel Road Construction
Kanata - The Kiley family is thanking their over-sized Lincoln Mastodon SUV after encountering some unexpected road construction on their way back from Montana's Grill in the Centrum Mall Monday evening.
The family of four, who have lived in the suburb of Kanata since 2009, were taken by surprise by some unforeseen road construction on Terry Fox Drive which resulted in the substantially large SUV having to navigate some treacherous road conditions. Dust, gravel, potholes and an uneven section of the pavement were all experienced by the vehicle, which traversed the adverse conditions with ease, although the driver of the vehicle, 34 year old Tammy Kiley was treated for shock after the encounter. "I had no idea why the pavement just ended like that and turned into gravel with potholes." Kiley explained. "All I could do was grip the Corinthian stitched leather wrapped steering wheel even harder and hope the Traction Control system kicked in." a traumatized Kiley recounted. "You just hope the car can make it through the terrain and that the family would be safe."
Uncommon for a SUV to experience such adverse conditions in the suburbs of Ottawa, the Kileys are thankful they choose the All-Wheel-Drive and Tru-Trac suspension options when they bought their Lincoln Mastodon last year, "I wanted it fully loaded in case something like this were to happen." remarked Duncan Kiley, Tammy's husband who was in the passenger seat during the ordeal. "The SUV has only seen smooth pavement from our house to Innovatech Systems, so we were all scared of what was going to happen. You just hope the vehicle can handle it." Duncan Kiley, 45, remarked. "I had a couple of Mega Margaritas at Montana's so Tammy drove home. I remember thinking that I was grateful that we got the SUV so we would all be safe."
Weighing over 4 tonnes with seating for 10, the Mastodon is the largest in Lincoln's fleet of SUV's, and claims it was designed for the rough, and sometimes dangerous world of suburban driving. "We wanted our vehicle to remain a safe haven for our drivers so they have peace of mind encountering situations like the one the Kiley's experienced." Director of Lincoln Canada Customer Relations Herb Dangard replied. "We design and test our SUVs for these kind of conditions." explained Dangard. Boasting a 498 HP V-10 engine with 3000 cubic feet of cargo space, the Mastodon is fast becoming the vehicle of choice for suburban families who require the safety and confidence of handling treacherous road construction, while at the same time, accommodating large items from Home Sense and Best Buy. The Mastodon is also able to transport an entire PeeWee soccer team and comes equipped with cappuccino machine and built-in 46" LED screen entertainment system.

Bridgehead Plans New Location In Westboro Manhole
Two "Flash Mob" Groups Injured in Coincidental, Spontaneous Dance Mix Up
Ottawa - Two groups of "flash mobs" suffered multiple injuries earlier today after the two groups coincidentally and spontaneously broke into ridiculous dancing in the Byward Market. The two groups apparently broke into choreographed dance moves at the same time which took each group by surprise, with many dancers suffering elbows to the faces, kicks to the groin, and finger pointing into eye sockets. Combining two large groups of "flash mobs" who were unaware of each others intentions led to the disastrous dancing outbreak, sending 7 people to hospital with multiple, but non-life threatening injuries.

Hintonburg Resident Gentrifies Self
After Silvers saw his favourite pawn shop turned into a gourmet wood-burning pizza bistro earlier this year, Silvers decided it was time to make a change in his own life. "I saw the Dawn of Pawn turn into a trendy new pizza joint, and thought maybe I should clean up myself too." Silvers reminisces. "I knew it was time to join the neighbourhood in getting a hipper, more vibrant appearance and become something." remarked Silvers, now 29 and dating a four foot Asian girl named Esther.
Once Silvers took the initial first steps in changing his outward appearance, he knew he also had to find a market for himself. "I wanted to start a business where I knew I could make a living and also enjoy myself." explains Silvers, who started up his hipster line of apparel called "UrbanHobo" which specializes in creating unique apparel items for young, trend-setting, urban twenty-somethings. Items Silvers developed include over-sized, plastic rimmed glasses, Rubik's Cube themed accessories, and Afghani style urban neck scarves. UrbanHobo now supplies all major urban centres with his unique brand of hipster wear that has made himself a vast fortune and also listed him in the Fortune 500 list of companies for 2011.
Now residing in a Westboro penthouse loft condo, Silvers hopes to inspire others who may be thinking of gentrifying themselves into something new and trendy. Taking examples from the vast changes happening in the once sketchy and rough parts of the city that are now being turned into appealing, boutique and bistro ridden pockets of urban renewal, Silvers explains his transition. "Two years ago I was huffing on Giant Tiger shopping bags of metallic spray paint, now I'm trying to decide what metallic paint I want for my BMW." Silvers credits his success on gentrification, a word he describes as "taking something that's in a state of decay, and branding it as hip and trendy."
Fred Silvers will be launching his latest UrbanHobo accessories at "Scruffy Beard" a new clothing and accessories store opening in the old Scott's Chicken Villa Kentucky Fried Chicken on Wellington Street this September.

SuperEx Finds New Home In Trendy Westboro
Westboro- After a century of the Central Canada Exhibition being held at Lansdowne Park in the Glebe, the annual fair more commonly known as "SuperEx" has found a new home in the heart of Westboro. SuperEx was welcomed with open arms by the Westboro BIA after making a press announcement earlier today. The 122 year old fair that has controversially been moved out of the Glebe after Lansdowne development plans were made this year, is looking forward to its new home in the trendy, family oriented neighbourhood of Westboro.

The long last unethical goodbye
It's become a major part of my adult life to eat organic fruit and vegetables (local stuff of course, no asparagus from peru thanks!), and i only ever buy free-range meat. It's an obsession, and I'm sure my friends sometimes get annoyed at my preaching. But now I find myself in a desperately tricky position. When I'm at home it's always simple to act like this. But when you're at work, it's impossible to know how good the food is when you buy lunch.
So I get free-range egg sandwiches regularly (can't have them every day though - think of the smell), but anything else i buy is ultimately unorganic and unethical. I think I've become comfortable with this, and the fact that it's a damn sight cheaper. It's always been easy to say 'it's so difficult to eat ethically when you buy lunch', and excuse myself of the organic duties.
But now it's not difficult, yet I'm torn. Now I'm in the position where it's all to easy for me to buy organic and ethical lunches. I'm in the position where my whole daily life can be an organic pasture of whimsy and happiness. Leo Hickman in the Guardian manages it, but there's a part of me that's clinging onto this small bastion of bad food and living. And what a thing for me to say!
I'm frightened of stepping onto the organic gravy train. It's like putting the last piece into the puzzle, and I really do want to finish it, but my hand has gone to sleep. I'll hate myself forever if I don't take the plunge, but why does it feel like it's one made from the highest diving board?

Hi Al
why on earth do you have to BUY lunch? We only have a small plot and have only had it a year, it provides all we need.A couple of sandwich boxes and a bottle of quality olive oil and away you go.Better than anything on sale in Tottenham Court Road.

I have similar experiences of non-organic, 'what terrible things am I doing to the environment' guilt. When we finally bought a car last year (even a devilishly fuel efficient one at that!) after coping all our adult lives without one I felt terrible. Never mind that we seldom use it and we're very good about using public transport...
Same with food and recycling and, well, you name it.
I think that the reality for most people is that we can all only do so much and still survive in the modern world. And no matter how green/organic/ethical we are, there will alawys be more we can do.
So don't beat yourself up - keep up the evangelising and get others who are doing less than you to start to change!!

Unfortunately, I'm a little lazy and just never seem able to make a lunchbox in the morning. My plot is also not well enough stocked at present to feed me. I'll get there though - i must keep planting lettuce seeds, I must. Seeing other people's efforts is immensely inspiring, but i'll have to wait til next year to put what I've learnt into practice.
I'd love a little car too, but it's exceptionally hard to justify it in London. Admittedly, I'm on the outskirts in sunny Crystal Palace, and it would be very handy for getting compost and flower pots, but I just can't. Although Katie would love a Figaro!
I think I might start slowly, and go organic twice a week. Free-range egg and cress on the other days. I have to be realistic...

we are at Sydenham top of Crystal Palace Park Road so will leave you all my excess veg in the phone box on the corner in a plain brown package, supply your own olive oil though.

Stas Neretin recently designed a series of skincare products that flush pink when touched. While brands are constantly finding new ways to make their product stand out on store shelves, these reactive bottles take the concept of innovative packaging to a whole new level.
Neretin's clever packing is for a skincare line aptly titled 'Naked.' The various jars, tubes and bottles in the line are all finished with a color that resembles that of bare skin. The paint used to achieve this look is thermochromatic, which means that it will respond to warmth. As a result, touching the outside of the package causes the exterior to flush pink.
The reactive packaging gives the collection a human-like quality that sets it apart from comparable products.

I've never believed that competitions and prizes were a good way of deciding the merits of books.
Until I was nominated for one.
And I know not all of you have read it, but there's a line in my book about how I've no interest in being told what I can't do.
After the nomination for Sports Book of the Year at the Irish Book Awards, it's been happening again.
"Well done on the nomination! Shame you're up against such tough competition."
People are telling me I can't win. And maybe they're right. But that ain't going to stop me trying.
It's true that there's some heavyweights there- Paul Kimmage, Donnacha O'Callaghan, Nicholas Roche, Tony McCoy and Ronnie Whelan have also written excellent books this year.
In one way even being mentioned in such great company is a victory in itself.
But even though most people saw the list and had no idea who I am, there are still two factors in my favour.
One is that it's the only book about Gaelic games on the shortlist.
The other is that my book is a tale for every single emigrant that ever left our country, and every single mother or father that ever watched them go.
As I write, the presidential election in Ireland is about to take place, and I and thousands like me don't have a vote. We get no say in who represents us.
But we all have our dreams, and as I wrote in A Parish Far From Home, "in sport, if you don't have a dream, you don't have anything".
My dream is to go to the Irish Book Awards on November 17th and to tell the tale of the Irish abroad, of how we help our country and each other in our hour of need.
My dream is to tell anyone who'll listen about how we're bringing Gaelic football and hurling to the four corners of the world, introducing them to new players and cultures as we go.
My dream is to let everyone know that, even if you are forced to leave Ireland, you can find a little corner of it in Sweden, in Sydney, in Shanghai – or you can start your own, so bring your boots.
Your part in this dream is that you can decide where I get to tell this story.
I can tell it to every guest and journalist I meet as we mingle the night of the Irish Book Awards.
Or you can vote for my book as Sports Book of the Year and I can tell them the glorious story of the Irish far from home from the podium when I go up to collect the prize.
You can vote for A Parish Far From Home as the Irish Sports Book of the Year here.

As part of our Thanksgiving party at preschool, we played a hot potato style game with a stuffed turkey leg. I think I saw this in Family Fun magazine, but it could have been years ago. I am no longer getting it, but did get it for about 7 years. I tucked this idea away in a file in my brain, and only this year recalled it. Or I saw it more recently... it's hard to say. I used to remember things better than this.
I made each child a set of fleece oven mitts. I also worked up a fleece and felt turkey leg and a fleece and felt ear of corn. We played some peppy music and passed the corn and turkey. When the music stopped we "gobbled" at the people with the items. You could certainly have the person be 'out' but this was a party. No one wants to be 'out' at a party. Especially when you're 4. When I played at home with Bee and Lou we earned letters to spell hot. It could certainly be done with any word.
Bee and Lou thought it would be fun to take them to Great Grandma's house when we went for Thansgiving and have everyone play. I think they got 9 people to play withe them. We put Grandpa in charge of music and we played and played. There was lots of giggling, especially from the aunts and uncles.

Hillsborough single VAT 'waived', Prime Minister indicates
Sales of a Hillsborough charity single will not be subject to VAT, the Prime Minister has indicated.
Calls were made to waive the tax after a cover of The Hollies' He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother, was released.
Relatives of the 96 football fans who died in the 1989 disaster are continuing legal action after a report found 41 could have been saved.
David Cameron told the Commons he could "confidently predict" the VAT decision would "go down well on Merseyside".
His announcement, during Prime Ministers' Questions, came as the High Court quashed the inquest verdicts of accidental death and Home Secretary Theresa May ordered a new police inquiry into the disaster.
The celebrity-backed single is currently favourite to become the Christmas number one.
Sir Paul McCartney, Robbie Williams, former Spice Girl Mel C and Gerry Marsden are among the line-up.

Author Notes: This is one of those recipes that popped into my mind at 3:30 am when my stupid brain decided that thinking about food was a better idea than sleeping - in this case I am glad it did because the jam is darn tasty ... I think it would fit right in with Mrs Larkin's ricotta trio (muscling in on her recipe :-) —aargersi
Serves: 12 halfp pint jars plus extra for the fridge
cups merlot (something rather fruity)
cinnamon sticks
whole cloves
whole star anise
cups fresh washed blackberries
tablespoons minced candied ginger
cup orange juice
boxes NO SUGAR NEEDED fruit pectin (1.75 oz each)
cups sugar
tablespoons unsalted butter
In This Recipe
- If you are canning - sterilize your jars and get your canning station ready. Put a couple of spoons in the freezer.
- Pour the wine into a large pot and bring it to a simmer with the cinnamon, cloves and star anise. I put the cloves in a tea egg which makes it easier when you fish them back out. Allow this mixture to simmer on very low heat for 10 minutes.
- Remove the spices, then add the blackberries, orange juice, and ginger. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Meanwhile whisk the sugar and pectin together - this will keep the pectin from lumping up. When the berries are boiling, stir in the sugar, pectin and butter. The butter will keep the mixture from foaming up too much and butter makes things better in general. Once the jam has reached a rolling boil again you can turn down the heat and keep it at a low boil for about 5 minutes, stirring often. Now look at a spoonful - do you want all whole berries or some mashed? I like some mashed so I run through the jam (gently) with a potato masher. Do the jam test - pour a little down the back of a frozen spoon. Run your finger through it. It should make a path that stays open. If not, boil a few more minutes and test again. Your jam is done!
- If you are canning - carfully ladle jam into the jars, clean the rims, place the lids on top and secure with the rings. Boil in the jam pot for 10 minutes then remove and leave them alone until they have cooled completely and the seals have set. Please research before canning - safety first!!!

New Stamps on 15th of May 2017
EUROPA-stamps, Abondoned stations, Old bank notes, Local handcraft og golden wedding anniversary.
Since 1995, Buuti Pedersen has created stamps for POST Greenland. She is the woman and the artist behind our two 2017 EUROPA-stamps. The common theme in PostEurop is castles. We are looking forward to revealing how Buuti solves this artistic task in a Greenlandic context by means of these two stamps. They will be issued in normal sheets and mini sheets, printed on gummed paper, and also in a self-adhesive stamp booklet.
"Abandoned stations" is the title of a new series, which focuses on the history told by the deserted facilities and stations around Greenland today. In order to tell the story about the deserted stations on stamps, we have co-operated with the National Museum and Archives of Greenland, among others, and various artists. The stamps will be issued in normal sheets and printed in offset.
Another new series is "Old bank notes". In the beginning of the twentieth century, special bank notes were used by the Royal Greenland Trading Department (in Danish: Den Kongelige Grønlandske Handel – KGH). These were made by means of lithography and used at the trade locations in Greenland. Bertil Skov Jørgensen is the artist, who has drawn and engraved this series. The stamps will be printed in combined offset and laser engraving and issued in normal sheets and souvenir sheets.
The Sepac stamp of the year is issued in accordance with the theme "Local handcraft". In 2017, the 13 members of Sepac (Small European Postal Administration Cooperations) will issue stamps in this series – with the same common theme. As always, our Sepac stamp will be issued in normal sheets and printed in offset.
On 10th June 2017, our highly beloved royal couple will be able to celebrate their golden wedding anniversary. POST Greenland, Posta Faroe Islands and PostNord Danmark are happy to be able to mark this royal golden wedding anniversary with this joint issue in the Realm. Thus, each of the three postal services will issue a beautiful souvenir sheet with the same portrait photo of the royal couple. The souvenir sheet is made by the artist Jakob Monefeldt after a photo taken by Torben Eskerod.
POST Greenland has also chosen to issue the stamp in normal sheets of 20 stamps each and in an elegant souvenir folder, which we made very similar to the folder design very kindly made available to us by our North Atlantic colleagues from Posta Faroe Islands.

The website Egypt Independent reported Tuesday that Prime Minister Hesham Qandil's car was vandalized by angry mourners during the funeral of the 16 Egyptian officers who were killed by Palestinian terrorists Sunday afternoon.
The military funeral began at the Unknown Soldier Monument after noon prayers. Eyewitnesses said that as soon as Qandil arrived at the monument, a large number of people attacked his vehicle, lifted their shoes to his face, and chanted putdowns. The car's windshield was damaged, and the minister's guards were forced to take a different route to avoid further assaults.
Egyptian president Mohamed Morsy was scheduled to attend the funeral but did not appear.
Several other figures attended, including Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, members of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, and Grand Sheikh of Al-Azhar Ahmed al-Tayyeb, as well as former presidential candidates Hamdeen Sabbahi, Abdel Moneim Abouel Fotouh, and Amr Moussa. The Salafi Nour Party and the Salafi Dawah were also represented at the funeral.
Morsy was scheduled to visit the seven guards who were injured in the attack afterward.

Video show
For the 2016 Fall Winter Prada show, AMO takes inspiration from the traditional public stages and places of civic ceremonies.
Placed around the periphery of the room, a system of balconies and tribunes defines the central space. Similar, yet different they create an imbalanced symmetry. A raised viewing platform is inserted into the middle of the room, dominating the catwalk.
This assemblage of structures breaks through the building, expanding into the surrounding streets and urban domain. A new entrance, marked by a ceremonial gateway, creates an oneiric passage from street to show.Guests gather on the balconies, tribunes and central platform in crowds according to a series of spatial hierarchies. No longer bystanders, they become active participants in the ritual unfolding around them.
The OSB wood cladding counters the simplicity of the structures. An irregular pattern of red and dark patches covers the surface, while dramatic lighting enhances its uneven texture.
The dark and enigmatic chiaroscuro atmosphere is enhanced by a theatrical use of lights.
A journey of sights and sounds amidst the inspirations of the Prada F/W 2016 Men's and Women's show.
The film that amplifies the experience of the F/W 2016 Men's and Women's show: inspirations, details and unusual perspectives of the event.

Women love fashion and there are no two views about that. However there are two views to what extents can this mania go to. It is only fair to say that it is only a minority of women that will wear a particular dress of particular clothing. There could be umpteen reasons for this but the many could be that the women do not have the confidence to carry off a casual outfit in public.
Get awesome pictures done by kerala wedding outdoor photography
One must know that a lot of confidence can be gained by watching other women and then experiment on oneself. In the market there are various styles of dresses from the casual to the formal. Now one can definitely understand that the casual ones are for daily wear and the formal ones for occasions. In fact one can say that fashion begins from childhood where young girls dream to try out dresses like Cinderella.
Once they reach adulthood there are many occasions where the young girls can experiment with dresses. It could be at a concert in a school, a dress rehearsal for the college, a graduation party or then the most important a friend's wedding. The gown dress is surely the most sought after dresses by girls now a day. The reason behind the popularity of the gown is that it flatters the figure without revealing it and at the same time it is most feminine and attractive. In this also color plays a great role as many girls find that a black gown looks sexy especially used in parties and a white gown are usually kept for the wedding day.
Besides the gown there are many combinations for girls. Sadly one can say that there is hardly any choice for the boys or men except for the usual pant and shirt or jeans and t shirt. For the girls there is the mini dress, the sheath dress which looks sexy and attractive, the shiff dress and the suit dress. In fact one can say women are spoilt for choice as far as fashion is concerned. In fact the range is so wide that at times it becomes too difficult for one to decide as to what to wear.
There is a saying that a dress can make a statement to the world but it depends the way it is worn. Whatever the remark may be it should come from the opposite person or sex and not from the wearer. One can easily say that no dress is complete without the stiletto heels. Fashion has come a long way from the time where women would wear long dresses and also in series under each dress. Nowadays girls are just comfortable wearing a t shirt and jeans, a salwar kurta, a mini skirt or the most common leggings and shirt. In fact it was unheard of that before the sixties girls or women could wear trousers. Just remember that one dress can change fashion in minutes and what was fashion today is obsolete tomorrow. Fashion for women really changes with drop of a shirt as the saying goes.

I'm a mutt fancier myself -- or "multicultural canines," as my dogs prefer -- but like millions of other lovers of canines of all kinds, I'll be tuning in Monday to watch the Westminster Kennel Club dog show, the 136th.
There's at least one hot California dog in the running, a wire fox terrier nicknamed Eira. She's four years old, and she belongs to breederTorie Steele of Malibu. Eira took Best in Show at the National Dog Show on Thanksgiving, and Steele hopes she will become only the third dog to win the canine double-crown, the National Dog Show and Westminster.
Wire fox terriers have a lot of star quality -- Asta practically stole "The Thin Man" from under Myrna Loy and William Powell. Perhaps history's most famous wire fox terrier was little Caesar, King Edward VII's pet. Caesar wore a collar reading "I am Caesar. I belong to the King." In 1910, Caesar walked -- or trotted -- in the king's historic funeral procession, behind the dolorous riderless horse.
Steele, who has had many champion wire fox terriers, will be watching Eira as a handler takes her through her paces to try to add another trophy to her collection.

Tonight there is beauty here. It is so special and amazing. Perhaps the season of goodwill is infusing us with a new consciousness. Maybe more of us are looking at healing the problems innovative ways instead of staying firmly in the past. Perhaps the younger generation is gaining power.
Maybe the word of revolution and change is getting out and being heard. The word that says that politicians are to be put on the line and the powerful are to be questioned and made accountable. The 99% are no longer willing to be underdogs and despised – they are asking pertinent questions and want answers from the power mongers of the world.
The centre is failing and cannot hold. However it is not the beast that has been released but a new understanding of what is means to be a human being and a slave in the face of multinational manipulation and greed. We are finding ways to throw off our chains. We have the guts to do it, despite the sacrifices, because we are the ones most affected and because we care for our children and the future generations.
99% is far more engaged people than the 1%. Rely on building unity and focus on solutions that work and change the status quo.
In 2012, we move to change the balance of the human world.

Doctors: Terri case not 'death with dignity' issue
Removal of feeding tube called 'state-sponsored euthanasia'
A physicians' group has added its voice to the din of reaction to Florida Gov.
Jeb Bush's intervention in the case of Terri Schindler-Schiavo, the
brain-disabled woman whose life-sustaining feeding tube was removed last
week at the request of Terri's husband and guardian, Michael Schiavo.
Schiavo, who maintains his wife is in a persistent vegetative state and
would want to be allowed to die with dignity, has been locked in a 13-year legal
battle with Terri's parents and siblings who argue Terri is alert, wants to live
and, given appropriate therapy, can be rehabilitated. Terri left no written
Within hours of the state legislature's historic passage of a measure,
known as Terri's Bill, which empowered the governor to take executive action
in the matter, Bush ordered the feeding tube reinserted last night.
While hailed as a "miracle" by Terri's sister and other supporters, the
surprise development – coming on Day 7 of Terri's judge-ordered starvation –
angered right-to-die attorney George Felos, who represents Michael Schiavo.
Felos called the eleventh-hour law and Bush's subsequent intervention
"absurdly unconstitutional" and maintains Terri has a right under the Florida
Constitution not to be kept alive artificially.
"The governor of the state of Florida does not have the right to trump a
patient's personal choice," he said at a press conference. "The citizens of
Florida should be alarmed by what is happening. What is
happening here is a gross and illegal intrusion into the private liberty of
citizens. … This is not the former Soviet Bloc where you don't have the liberty
to control your own body."
Following two unsuccessful attempts by Felos to get circuit judges to
block the reinsertion of the feeding tube, Terri was transferred from the
hospice where she has been a patient for three years to a local hospital and
rehydration efforts were reportedly launched.
"She was literally absconded from her death bed in the middle of her dying
process," Felos told ABC's "Good Morning America" this morning, calling the
rehydration efforts "cruel."
But Dr. Jane Orient with the Association of American Physicians and
Surgeons, or AAPS, claims the opposite is true: "Dehydration is a cruel,
painful death."
"It is unconscionable that the state ordered removal of her feeding tube in
the first place – it's nothing less than state-sponsored euthanasia," maintains
Orient. "She is not dependent on advanced medical interventions. Nothing is
mechanically pumping her blood, or forcing oxygen into her lungs. She is
simply being fed through a gastrostomy tube."
Last week the General Assembly of the Catholic Medical Association passed a resolution that concurred with Orient's view. It declared removal of Terri's feeding tube "without first undertaking rehabilitation therapy to ascertain her ability to swallow and digest nourishment" constitutes "depriving her of life without due process of law," according to Florida Statutes Section 744, 3211.
Would we allow a retarded child to be starved to death?" queries Orient. "Where are the 'compassionate end-of-life' groups such as the Robert Wood Johnson 'Last Acts' initiative, and why aren't they weighing in on this?"
Multiple physicians solicited by the Schindlers believe Terri, who vocalizes,
laughs and appears to respond to her parents, could be rehabilitated to some
extent. Some have even offered pro bono treatment, even though Michael
Schiavo was awarded nearly $1.5 million dollars in malpractice suits to pay for Terri's rehabilitation and nursing expenses shortly after her mysterious collapse at home in 1990 during which oxygen was cut off to her brain for several minutes.
WorldNetDaily has reported that during court testimony last year, Victor Gambone, Terri's attending
physician hired by Michael Schiavo in 1998, testified he was unsure whether
his patient had even had her teeth cleaned in recent years and said she hadn't
received therapy. He said he accepted Michael Schiavo's word that therapy
had been deemed unnecessary.
"Although severely disabled, some believe that she does have the capacity
to communicate a desire to live. The husband has obstructed efforts at
rehabilitation or independent assessments of his wife's true state," continues
WorldNetDaily reports the family has been blocked by Michael Schiavo from visiting Terri at Morton Plant Hospital in Clearwater, Fla., where she was transferred. Their inability to verify she is being rehydrated per Bush's order concerns them. As of yesterday morning, they reported she was awake and appeared alert, although shrunken.
Felos told reporters yesterday Terri was showing signs of massive organ failure and said the reinsertion of the feeding tube was just prolonging her death.
AAPS, a non-partisan, professional association of physicians dedicated to
protecting the sanctity of the patient-physician relationship put out a warning to
colleagues: "The ethical question for her nurses and physicians is whether
they will cooperate in carrying out a death warrant.
"And the ethical question for all of us is whether we will allow the state
to obstruct the efforts of people who want to provide medical care to a patient
who wants to receive it," said Orient. "If we go down that path, who's to say
what treatment the state will prevent you from getting?"
Updates and other information about Terri's fight for life are posted on the
family's website.
