Digital printing reduces strain on the environment
AB InBev has developed a new digital process for direct printing of texts, logos and images on cans and glass bottles. The benefits are unseen.
This new development is not only better for the environment, it also opens up a lot of creative possibilities, explains Danielle Miller. As Global Packaging Innovation Director at AB InBev, she helps coordinating the digital print project: "Basically, digital printing enables us to provide every bottle or can with a unique print, each time different from the previous one. With the traditional printing process on labels, millions of bottles and cans have the same label. Digital printing has been around for some time now, but it was mainly applied to flat surfaces. Together with our partners, we created a method which also allows us to print on round surfaces."
"100% of our customers interact with the packaging", says Danielle Miller. "They keep the can or the bottle in their hand while they drink. So the packaging is an important communication tool. Thanks to this new printing process we can fine-tune the packaging to match a certain location or event."
Last summer, AB InBev delivered 10,000 personalized Budweiser cans at the Tomorrowland dance festival, with visitors from 200 countries. "Because this is an international festival, we printed the flags of all the nationalities present on the cans. We were the first brewery in the world to use the digital printers from our partner Tonejet."
PRINTING ON GLASS Glass printing is still a lot more challenging. Not only because of the unevenness of the glass, but also because the ink on the beer bottles has to withstand the high temperatures during the pasteurization process in the brewery. "We investigated different methods, until we found a solution in which the ink and the printing is not affected by the hot temperatures of the pasteurization and the high speed of the filling installation."
This year, AB InBev's glass printing technology was also demonstrated during a number of marketing campaigns. "For Father's day we printed 2,500 personalized beer glasses for the French beer retailer Saveur Bière, using images that customers could send in. We produced twelve different Jupiler glasses for the Dutch football club Ajax, with images of well-known players. And for Global Beer Responsible Day we printed special Jupiler 0.0% bottles, with the names of some well-known cafes and famous people. Our CEO Carlos Brito also handed such a personalized bottle to Belgium's Prime Minister Charles Michel."
Although AB InBev does not apply this digital printing process on cans and bottles on an industrial scale yet, it is clear that it is a solution for the future,' says Danielle Miller. "By digitally printing our packaging we emit 60 percent less CO2 in comparison with classical printing methods on labels. Because of the difference in materials and the lower temperature of digital printing."
"Moreover, digital printing also produces less waste: classic printing processes with printing plates and presses require a minimum number of orders before production can be started. But not all of those orders are always used or sold. With digital printing you can even place orders for one print and you can plan the production process perfectly according to the number of orders. Within the next few years, AB InBev will keep on investing in its digital printing process, so that it can be rolled out on a larger scale", concludes Danielle Miller.

DUBLIN—Ireland's landslide vote in favor of allowing abortion revealed a country that has undergone a profound and rapid transformation from a conservative, deeply Catholic nation to a secular one that is steadily embracing the liberal mores of the rest of Europe.
The final official count recorded 66.4% in favor of removing the ban. Only one electoral district out of 40—Donegal—voted to retain the ban.

It's 3 a.m. at Texas Motor Speedway, and Mario Batali's red pony tail is flapping in the breeze. He's gunning a golf cart over an uneven gravel road carving through the track's throbbing shantytown of RVs, trailers, motor homes, and repainted school buses.
"We're on a mission to find the real Americana," Batali says, and he's taking his good pal along for the ride. On the back of the zigzagging cart, a laughing Rachael
Ray is blowing kisses to fans shouting, "We love you Rachael!"
Packed into the infield are thousands of camping and recreational vehicles of varied shapes, sizes and payment schemes. Some are hitched to huge cylindrical metal smokers cooking sizzling slabs of choice American beef, which catches the attention of the super chefs driving past converted old school buses with crushed velvet sofas bolted onto the roof and sleek new Prevost motor coaches that require a jumbo mortgage.
The cart's headlights catch the reflection of silver beads hanging from the horns of a wildebeest's head which is mounted to a school bus painted silver to resemble a 40-foot long Coors Light can.
The beads are everywhere. Fans whooping it up in all directions are awash in them – glittering strands of silver, ruby, pearl, aquamarine, cherry cola, emerald green. Some are the size of marbles, others as big as golf balls. A life-size John Wayne cutout is adorned with several strands. Gold ones for the Duke, who is standing in front of scaffolding three stories high with a jerrybuilt viewing platform up top along with a bright neon sign proclaiming, "The Redneck Taj Mahal."
Across the way, "Sweet Home Alabama," the one tune that from the opening guitar lick can take a juiced-up assemblage of fans into blissed-out nirvana, is blasting from a cooler equipped with giant speakers. A dozen young men and women are swirling around the amazing cooler-slash-boom box. They're engaged in a sort of rhythmic tribal dance, slowly wind milling their arms as if swimming leisurely through the smoky balmy Texas night.
The state of innovation in America may be declining overall, but an impressive spirit of can-do invention is on display throughout Texas Motor Speedway. A host of creative contraptions like the spindly erector-set village of scaffolding, the juke box producing southern rock and cold beer, and the smokers made from rusty underground propane tanks are helping fans view the track, cook, dance, play music, and dispense adult beverages. An enterprising fan will probably one day invent a device that does all of the above in one contraption you can hook to your Ford F-10 and tow to the races.
At the helm of the golf cart, Batali, a gregarious man with a heavy foot and military-strength RADAR for locating a good time regardless of the hour, veers down a road doglegging to the left. He drives a few hundred feet and instinctually pulls up to a western saloon. It's an ingeniously constructed replica of a dusty storefront, the kind of plywood structure you'd see on a Hollywood lot with a hand-painted sign announcing, Me Til Monday Saloon.
"Me till Tuesday," Batali says.
Rachael Ray doesn't hear that because she's off the cart before her good friend and sometime partner in crime brings it to a halt. The insanely popular chef, award-winning TV talk show host, magazine publisher, cookware entrepreneur and best-selling author busts through swinging saloon-style western doors onto an elevated black-and-white tiled dance floor.
In the middle of the floor, the object of everyone's attention, the thing that dominates a scene with plenty of side-show diversions of eye-candy, is a gleaming stripper's pole.
Rachael Ray marvels at the silver pole.
It seems to rise improbably from the floor, but after a moment's reflection you can't imagine the Me Til Monday Saloon or the raceway without it.
Rachael eyes the DJ booth and the giddy beaded dancing women and the rough-edged, crew-cut boys intent on their affection, and she exclaims in a raspy whiskey-and-sandpaper voice that's fading fast, "We're in the middle of a race track! These people know how to bring it!"
"Raych, the infield is the heartbeat of NASCAR," Batali shouts. "We happen to be in the geometric center."
This comes from experience. Batali has been to nearly 50 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races since Rich Bodmer, a friend from The Sporting News, brought him to an event at Dover International Speedway.
The globally renowned uber-chef, who darts in and out of Greenwich Village traffic on his Vespa, immediately "fell in love" with the speed of the sport, along with the drama-laden cat-and-mouse games drivers and crew chiefs will play to outfox the other teams.
Batali has been known to bend the rules – of what a restaurant should serve and how a restauranteur should act. He takes off-putting parts like beef cheeks and squab liver, and from the seemingly inedible cast-offs makes incredibly delicious dishes served in restaurants cranking rock and roll music way too loud. He wears shorts in the winter.
When you're with Batali, the notion that some rules apply exclusively to other people starts to make sense.
It's no surprise his favorite driver-crew chief tandem is Johnson and Chad Knaus, the duo in the garage known to be most adept for taking periodic expeditions into the gray areas in NASCAR's black-and-white rule book.
But the combination of creative wits at war and creative techniques to push cars to breathtaking speeds was only part of the sport's appeal to Batali.
NASCAR is famous for its multiple-day tailgaters, and the chef, who had recently returned from Spain where he and another famous fabulous New York running mate, Gwyneth Paltrow, shot a highly rated PBS series, Spain on the Road Again, naturally wanted to assess the foods of NASCAR and its fans as well.
"I got to Dover and expected hot dogs and hamburgers," he said. "What I saw and tasted was surprising and delicious. The fans were making crab soup, crab cakes, crab stuffing, pasta with crabs, and lasagna with crabs. These were almost luxury food items being made right in the camp grounds. It was a real eye opener."
Batali next went to Pocono Raceway, New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Talladega Super Speedway, and Texas Motor Speedway. He found delightful regional variations and hard-core race fans doubling as "obsessive foodies." He saw each track expressing the region's food. In Pocono, they were cooking venison and quail.
At New Hampshire, it was lobster and chowder. In Texas, beef and brisket were all the rage, and at one camp site, he saw an entire steer on a spit, barbecued for 48 hours then carved with a giant sword and served on white bread.
"That, my friend, is impressive, and you see that kind of cooking creativity all over the circuit. I like to say, NASCAR is a microcosm of the James Beard Society. It's like going to a three-day rock concert with great food – Woodstock meets Mad Max meets the Super Bowl meets the Iowa State Fair. I've gone to a lot of sporting events, and I will tell you NASCAR fans are not only having more fun, they're also eating better than fans in other sports."
Batali has seven strong-selling cookbooks, and the NASCAR experience motivated him to write one of them, Mario Tailgates NASCAR Style, the first major cookbook attached to the sport. Batali developed recipes like Eggs in Hell, Speedway Guacamole, Restrictor Plate Chili, and Brickyard Barbecued Game Hens to capture the taste, texture and smells of the racing culture. The second-generation Italian-American boy from Seattle who went to high school in Spain is now as comfortable and familiar in tapping the cuisines of Renaissance Tuscan aristocracy and modern day Spanish field workers as he is in channeling the cooking styles of NASCAR fans in the campgrounds of races across America.
"I see myself as an interpreter of 3,000 years of cultural and gastronomic history," Batali said. "I'm blessed because I don't have to come up with too much that's new and revolutionary. I'm someone who explains to people how they can make dishes that have been part of other cultures for many, many years."
He happens to be very good at it. Batali's record in "Iron Chef," a televised 60-minute cooking competition among the world's top chefs, is an astounding 31 wins and three losses. While the taste of food is subjective, and cynics would contend critics can be bought and swayed, that kind of winning record against the titans of the culinary world suggests Batali may be the best chef on the planet.
So when Texas Motor Speedway pitched him on the "Asphalt Chef," a culinary battle at the race track pairing top chefs with NASCAR drivers, Batali accepted, and roped in his friends Rachael Ray and Tim Love, a meat-loving Texan who favors cowboy hats, western shirts, dusty boots and Crown Royal whiskey.
Love is no cooking slouch; he grills a mean rattlesnake, has an Iron Chef victory to his credit as well, and he's well known in the Lone Star State.
But his celebrity Q factor is nowhere close to that of Batali, who has the rare distinction of being able to truthfully open a conversation by saying, "When I was on Oprah…" Yet in pop culture awareness, Batali is still a notch below Rachael Ray. Through her food and talk shows, lifestyle magazine and products now including a personal brand of dog food, Ray exists in the upper echelon of celebrity, able to elicit shrieks and tears from grown men and women through merely showing up in a public place. The dogs probably recognize her, too.
The Asphalt Chef competition was held next to a large pool in the shape of Texas below the condominiums overlooking Turn 2 of Texas Motor Speedway. Track executives have completely lost their minds, said people who comment on these kind of things when the announcement was made about new luxury condominiums to be built at the speedway. Today, the condos are worth more than a million dollars each.
While a band played light Texas blues and well-heeled corporate guests and friends of the speedway settled into their chairs at the Lone Star Clubhouse, the cooks were told the secret ingredient – hot chili peppers.
A 20-minute time clock was activated, and the teams scrambled for their ingredients, fired up the grills, and began chopping and marinating. Batali was paired with Juan Pablo Montoya, the Formula One superstar who had shocked the motorsports world by jumping to NASCAR. Montoya looks sharp in his chef's smock, though he's not smiling, probably because he hates to lose, whether it's the Daytona 500 or tiddlywinks, and who wants to get up in front of a group of rich people, out of your element, not only losing but appearing foolish in the process. Juan's eyes are locked in concentration on a pepper he's slicing.
Rachael Ray was matched with Carl Edwards, who informed his partner he doesn't grill, can barely prepare toast, and pulls the cheese off his pizza as part of a health kick ruling out nearly all foods outside of soup. "Carl tells me all this with a big smile on his face as if it's good for our team," Rachael later explains.
Tim Love, toting a bottle of Crown Royal, cooked with fellow Texan Bobby Labonte. The duo's rib eye steak marinated in Coca-Cola with shrimp, cannoli beans, basil and chili peppers drew strong reviews. Bobby earned extra points for working his sponsor into the recipe.
The judges swallowed any concerns that blood from a grater-induced cut on Carl's finger might have made it into his team's dish. There had been a catch can at the bottom of the grater Carl didn't see. The driver was grinding the cheese with a strong sense of purpose but nothing came out. So he ground the cheese faster and harder. Carl is one determined dude, and he finally just bore right into his finger. The judges overlooked that and thoroughly enjoyed Carl and Rachael's chili and spicy quesadillas, heavy on the onion and garlic.
But Mario and Juan Pablo ruled the night. Their winning dish was an impressively presented Vietnamese-Colombian surf and turf consisting of a flank steak with red curry and a summer roll featuring Napa cabbage with shrimp, chili peppers, scallions and cilantro cooked in orange juice.
Batali denied that the dish's fancy name and multitude of ingredients contributed to yet another Iron Chef triumph. "Juan Pablo and I won for three simple reasons," he said in accepting a faux gold medal for his efforts. "Tim was drinkin', Carl was bleedin' and we were cookin'."
Despite Edwards' cheese-grating mishap, the professional cooks were impressed by the NASCAR drivers' determination and sportsmanship. "These guys are not just danger mavens. They're cool, and they're real people, not like many celebrities today," Batali said. "I don't care where you live or how much money you earn, I judge anyone by two things. First is your attitude toward food – the ability to enjoy and share delicious things. Second is the way you treat busboys. I look at a lot of celebrities and they don't make the cut by that standard. NASCAR drivers do."
Human decency, generosity and community spirit are traits also shared by the hundreds of NASCAR fans Batali has met. His late-night jaunt with Rachael Ray in Texas reminded him of exploring the infield at Talladega at a time way past most folks' bed time.
"Some fans had created a whole bar scene with a parquet wooden floor and Tikki lamps. They'd ring a bell and serve gumbo to anyone who wanted it. Anyone! I love that about these fans everywhere you go on the circuit. They epitomize the essence of good cooking: making something delicious and sharing it with your friends."
Just as a friend introduced Mario to NASCAR, he was able to sell his good friend Rachael Ray on the sport. "I sincerely had the best time of my life at the track," Ray said in the shred of her voice remaining. "I'm just upset it took me 40 years to discover all this. I'll be back."
Mario Batali and Rachael Ray are world-famous figures, wealthy beyond the dreams of most NASCAR fans. Yet, they are celebrities of the people. In the morning, they arrived at the racetrack in a private helicopter. But by nightfall, they were among the fans, passing good jokes and even better bottles of wine, and tearing it up in a golf cart on the way to the most extraordinary western saloon imaginable. They found the geometric center of the sport and are now proudly part of it.

As many of you know, there have been several essays regarding misogyny in the punk scene by several prominent vocalists over the last few months. For some reason, Patrick Kindlon, singer of End of a Year/Self Defense Family, thought his opinion representing the "other side" was relevant. There is no word yet on whether he will next write an article about all he knows about racism.
I've been asked to contribute to this ongoing feature about sexism in punk because I've been on the, "other side" of it. It's a difficult position to write from. The danger, of course, is that I'll come off looking like a massive douche.
Spoiler: he does indeed come across as a massive douche.
When talking about a video he created to promote a show:
The videos depicted women in sexually provocative situations. The concerned party failed to recognize the men in the videos were in similar situations. Or that the videos were resolutely tongue-in-cheek and often parodies.
Oh, men were shown the same way? That makes it all okay! It's not like there's a double standard that's, you know, the reason that people are taking issues with men portraying women that way to begin with. Oh, and they were parodies? Phew, that renders any possibility of there being sexism present obsolete. Bigots are incapable of doing parodies, don't you know?
After talking about getting kicked out of a show for allegedly being sexist, a charge he disagrees with:
The point of my story isn't to vindicate myself more than two years after the fact, but to illustrate that when we say things like "________ has no place here" we risk mob mentality.
Yeah, we really need to stop saying that sexism has no place here, everyone! Men might be negatively affected!!!
He continues:
I think it's important that punks ask themselves what the goal is when confronting someone. Is it to show them the "right" way to live through education? Or is it to change their behavior through intimidation? Or is it just to placate your superior attitude?
Anyone who is confronting oppression that they face has no obligation whatsoever to try to "educate" the person saying/doing harmful things. "Hey, on top of dealing with the oppression, it's also your responsibility to teach privileged people shit!" No. If someone is doing sexist shit, I'm hardly going to feel bad for them if they feel "intimidated" by someone standing up against it. And yes, being against sexism is a superior attitude over defending it. I'm not referring to the story he tells in the essay about getting kicked off the show in Germany, but about him writing this as a response to the discussion of sexism in punk, period.
Going for the gold in the "massive asshole" competition:
As I understand it, the essays people have contributed to Punknews.org on this topic have focused on the fact that sexism is prevalent in punk and hardcore music. Seems like a waste of bandwidth and time to me. We all know that. What I'm more curious about is why you expected anything other that what we currently have.
Yeah, complaining about sexism is a waste of bandwidth, everyone! We all know that! And in case you didn't, there's always a dude ready to come along and shit all over you for it.
Sadly, this exercise demonstrates just how "unpunk" everyone really is. It starts with someone considered "cool" asserting their views and leveraging their popularity to make others fall in line. Congrats, you've reached homogony. All the freethinking qualities that people praise when discussing punk as a subculture or counterculture are replaced with the same sort of mindlessness you'd find anywhere else.
Demanding freedom from oppression? psh, if no one was sexist, everyone would just have a monotonous, homogenous hive-mindset. BOOOORING!

USwitch rallies against unlimited broadband advertising
USwitch, the online comparison site, is backing a campaign to urge the Prime Minister to stop broadband providers advertising so-called "unlimited" services. It is understood to be calling on media regulator Ofcom and the Advertising Standards Authority to enforce new rules.
The campaign, which has been lodged on the Government's e-petition beta site and has been signed by 5,000 people so far, and says many such services are limited in the small print or by undefined fair use policies. USwitch is launching an email campaign to support the petition.
The petition says that many internet service providers are advertising broadband with "unlimited" downloads. But it adds: "The majority of these services are not unlimited as in the providers fair usage policies they either cap the use at a defined amount, or use an undefined criteria that only they know."
The e-petitions system was launched by 10 Downing Street in November last year giving UK citizens the opportunity to create a petition and collect signatures via the website.
The service, which is still in a public "beta" testing phase, has attracted more than 2.5 million signatures with more than 3,000 petitions active and available for signing.

This recipe couldn't be easier. It is a great pick-me-up in the afternoon when you need that little shot of dark chocolate. You can use roasted nuts in place of coconut or combine the two if you like.
- 8.8 ounces dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa).
- 1 1/2 cup toasted unsweetened coconut flakes
1. Toast the coconut by spreading it thinly on a cookie sheet. Bake 275 to 300 degrees for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Oven temperatures vary, so watch it and don't let it burn, but you want to bake long enough to get a nice brown color.
2. Bring a few inches of water to a boil in the bottom half of a double boiler set over high heat. Place the chocolate in the top half of the double boiler and set it on the bottom half. Heat, stirring often until the chocolate is almost melted, about 5 minutes.
3. Remove from the heat and whisk until completely melted. Add the coconut and stir to combine.
4. Drop the mixture by spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet or waxed paper. Set aside to cool and firm, putting in the refrigerator for awhile helps with this process.
Please "read" the pictures from right to left! Yes, I am new at blogging!

They first met as strangers, but eight years later Ted Burch of Petoskey and his "little brother" Kyle are more like family.
And even though Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwestern Michigan doesn't officially recognize the match anymore (now that Kyle is 18 and legally an adult), the two will forever be a part of each other's lives.
"The first time we ever met was at my grandmother's house," said 18-year-old Kyle, who was 10 at the time.
Then with Slurpees in tow, the two walked around Petoskey's Bayfront Park talking and getting to know each other's likes and dislikes.
"I remember he didn't like country music," said Burch.
They soon discovered they had more in common than not, thanks in part to the agency's efforts to make positive, long-lasting matches between the "bigs" and "littles." And a friendship was born.
"After the first meeting it was great," Kyle said. "We clicked."

It may have been worth a trip here to see Dorothy's and Clara's beaming faces after we watched the acrobatics theatre troupe perform at the Beijing Chaoyang Theatre, which made Cirque du Soliel seem like a Richard Simmons exercise video.
We wound up with the acrobats Wednesday after a basic tour of Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and a pedaled tour of the older neighborhood nearby. Touristy stuff. Riding in these pedaled carts, especially touring alongside the tree shaded waterway bordering Beihai Park, was just right for the girls. But this older familiar-styled Chinese neighborhood is now an historic district and this most definitely is not the same China of three years ago or certainly any of our other trips to China before that.
Coming from our home in a city that is struggling to rebuild at a very slow pace in the midst of the wealthiest country on earth, the new construction that is taking place here is startling, as is the obviously gigantic amount of private capital that must be driving this. Only a part of this investment has to do with hosting the upcoming Olympics, set to begin in August. The world is changing here.
A new Chinese feature film called CJ7, directed by the cross-cultural Stephen Chow, does a wonderful job of capturing in a freeze frame new urban Beijing in 2008, much in the way that Stephen Spielberg seemed with ET to capture suburban culture of southern California USA in 1982. Chow's film was actually shot in Ningbo in Zhejiang Province, but its look is similar to Beijing, as are its relationships between those who are part of China's new economy and those who are building the new China by hand, on wages only slightly better than those in the countryside where most of these urban laborers came from. In downtown Beijing it's hard to remember that nearly 80% of China's population is still rural, and still very poor. In many ways CJ7 is a better written film than ET; edgier and more socially irreverent. Like China itself it is heavy on symbolism, but it's also both very funny and very moving. In it a poor laborer works on a dangerous high-rise construction site to send his young son to a private school and hopefully on to live "a useful life," which is a complicated Chinese concept that may not translate well but involves patience, work, and sacrifice. The boy is picked on at school but one day discovers a super cute alien who looks like a small toy animal within a strange object his father brings home from a refuse pile. The boy names it CJ7 in competition with a very expensive popular toy he sees in a store and that his school mates can easily afford. CJ7 turns out to have magical powers that through triumph then tragedy then triumph again result in a simple, powerful lesson on the value of useful living. If nothing else, today's new urban China can also be stunning in its hopeful utility. A physical reflection of this is an architectural marvel taking shape downtown that will be the new headquarters of China Central Television. The huge building takes the form of a twisted magnet with two tall inwardly leaning towers that connect like upside down Ls at the top. It's all about balance.

By LISA CAPOBIANCO
The city of Bristol is proposing a total budget of $185,005,865 for Fiscal Year 2016, which would result in a zero tax increase for taxpayers.
The proposed budget represents a decrease of .07 percent, or $134,750, over the current bottom line of $185,140,615. If the budget is approved as is, the mill rate would remain at 34.61.
"This…is not reducing services or programs," said City Comptroller Glenn Klocko, who made the budget presentation during a special Board of Finance meeting held last Monday.
One major change occurred in the Board of Education's proposed budget of $110,217,920 for FY 16, which would have resulted in a 3.16 percent increase over the current budget. After working with Bristol Superintendent of Schools Ellen Solek and other school officials, city officials cut the requested school budget by $3,381,270, keeping it the same as the current school board budget of $106,836,650.
Klocko said the city found other ways to make another $1.65 million available for educational needs without causing lay-offs or a negative impact on students.
"This goes above that level so the [Board of Education] doesn't have to make any lay-offs," said Klocko.
Mayor Ken Cockayne thanked the Board of Education for its collaboration.
"We sat through many meetings with the Board of Education," said Cockayne, who also thanked the finance board. "Great work to all involved."
During a Board of Education meeting held last Wednesday, School Board Chairman Larry Amara said, although it has been a difficult process over the past couple of years, the superintendent and the mayor have had "a really solid conversation about what is needed in education."
"What we're trying to accomplish is…to be able to say that we are one, we are one city, we are one budget, we all have needs," said Amara. "We've had…open discussions."
"We will continue to work closely with city officials until the budget development process is completed," said Solek during the school board meeting.
Another way the city was able to reduce the tax bite was the receipt of a state grant of $2.3 million that helped with snow removal and road repairs. In addition, the city was able to avoid a tax hike due to additional state aid and surplus money from previous years that helped cover the costs of items, such has memory cards for computers in the Registrars of Voters Office and police SUVs.
Cheryl Thibeault, chairperson of the finance board, said she is pleased to see the proposed budget brings no tax increase while not cutting any city services or programs.
"Stars aligned this year," said Thibeault, adding the city will not be as lucky next year. "We're fortunate that we can…have no impact to the taxpayers."
"We did not know where this was going to turn out," said Klocko.
Board of Finance Vice Chairman John Smith expressed concern over allowing the implementation of no tax increases to become a pattern. From 1995 to 1999, for five years in a row, the city of Bristol had no tax increase.
"It took us about six years to get back on track," said Smith. "I don't want to fall into that track again."
Cockayne said the proposed budget is putting an additional $1.6 million into road repair while decreasing the general city budget.
"This is a budget I will support," said Cockayne. "We're still putting money in our infrastructure, we're still keeping services the same—we're doing everything right."
The Board of Finance expected to adopt a budget after its regularly scheduled meeting on April 28.

In order to stay healthy and younger than age, eat well nutritious foods such as fruits, vegetables and lower your meats. Limit foods that high in calories, fats, sugar and salt. It is not advisable for us to eat more on fatty meats, butter, shortening and hard margarine. So, if you can reduce those saturated fats, do it for the good of your health. Also limit the trans fats such as doughnuts, cookies, tortillas, tarts, pies and many others. I know they are everybody's favorite but not good if you eat many of them. You can eat a little. Avoid too much sugar that found in soft drinks and desserts. Low salt intake to avoid hypertension.

Kitchen Table Consulting History
Kitchen Table Consulting (KTC), began in 2008 after Slow Food Nation in San Francisco and was named for San Francisco's Kitchen Table Talks, of which Jen was a co-founder and co-organizer along with her fellow Slow Food Nation colleagues.
At that time, the community food movement was relatively nascent. Jen looked carefully at her visions for the direction of the community food movement, and strategically considered the skills, passions and personal quirks that enabled her to create communications campaigns and inspired content, to lead from vision, equity and purpose, and to listen. Combined with her strong belief in the power of food to bring peace, community and nurturing sustenance, she began Kitchen Table Consulting.
As the years passed, many clients and collaborators have joined the table to create a wide variety of results and a bouquet of fun projects, including a coaching practice that was described as "soul juicing" by one client.
During their four-month stint in San Cristobal, Mexico in 2017, Jen and her partner in life, Miles Gordon chose to take on consulting together as their next step in community empowerment, facilitation and food systems work. Cut to a year later and 10 years from KTC's start, Jen and Miles have teamed up for the current iteration of KTC.
One of the great things about this partnership is the way they complement one-another. Having worked together on a number of projects for many years, they combine their inspiration and joy with a broad background of experiences to diverse and complex professional settings.
Miles brings expertise in facilitation, mentoring, program development and community engagement, and food systems change. This addition to the KTC toolkit enables greater capacity for both Jen and Miles to combine their aligned experience to contribute to a greater degree and more ably to a wider variety of client needs at international, national, regional and local levels.
10% of all proceeds are donated to a few very worthy non-profits, including, but not limited to: Hearthstone Village, Sierra Club, The ACLU, The Southern Poverty Law Center, Planned Parenthood and our local public radio station, KZYX.

Take the breast cancer risk quiz.
Most breast cancers aren't inherited — that means there are things you can do to lower your risks for breast cancer. If you can identify modifiable risk factors, you can make changes to reduce your risks.
Preventing cancer begins with healthy habits. You can beat the odds by being physically active, limiting alcohol intake and eating food that nourishes your body. Just like life in general, with breast cancer, there are many things in your control and other things that are out of your hands.
Some risk factors — your gender, your age, and your genetics, for example – can't be changed. But many other factors – smoking cigarettes, exercising, and eating nutritious food – can be changed or modified. By making the healthiest choices possible, you can make sure your breast cancer risk is as low as possible.
Risk factors:
- Personal medical history
- Family medical history
- Dense breast tissue
- History of taking DES medication, or having a mother who took synthetic estrogen
- Unhealthy lifestyle habits
- Increased risk after age 40
Medical professionals use detailed clinical models to help a patient assess her risk of breast cancer. Ask your doctor and find the guidance of a physician or counselor who can provide additional information and support during the assessment process.
In addition to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, the most important action you can take is to follow early detection guidelines. Annual screenings have even been shown to reduce mortality rates. If you are 40 or older, or have a family history of breast cancer, talk with your doctor about scheduling your annual mammogram.

You know when you have one of 'those' days and you just feel like the world is against you, when in reality your just against you. Sometimes you need someone to just tell you that everything is fine, blah blah blah. But one day your going to have to make yourself feel better, you can't pin your emotions on what other people. You need to be able to look in the mirror and know yourself that everything is fine. Hey maybe not now, but it will be. The key is positive thinking, if you don't like your image - change it, don't like people who are around you - change it, don't like what's going on in school/work - change it. The change might not happen over night, but just knowing that you are doing something proactive to make yourself a happier person should be enough to make yourself feel better.
Some days you will just feel a bit.. shit. Whether this be because of a rubbish day, hormones or something going on. Just remember that feeling like that won't last forever, and in a week or month or years time that problem will be long gone. Positivity makes the world go round, no one got to where they are by being negative. Even if you feel like you have no one around you, there is always someone there, you just can't see it. And even if there isn't you can cope on your own, you can make your own positivity.
I hope this helps at least one of you to keep your head up

More than 6 million Muslims make their home in the U.S., representing one of the fastest growing religions in the nation.
Muslims across the country celebrated Eid-ul-Fitr last week. Eid-ul-Fitr is a three-day festival marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan, a month of fasting, praying and listening to the Quran, one of the Muslim holy books.
The sighting of the new moon heralds the arrival of Eid-ul-Fitr. On Wednesday night, Nov. 2, my friends and I anxiously awaited a report. Would Eid be the next day? At approximately 11 p.m., word arrived and excitement filled the air. Yes, Eid was the next day!
I called my friend and we talked about what clothes we were going to wear, and what our plans were for the next day. On Thursday morning, my family drove to the mosque at 9 o'clock.

Competition and Club Nights
Competition (Swim Meets)
Participating at a competitive level at swim meets is not compulsory, however it is considered an excellent incentive for swimmers to improve their times and to experience the 'buzz' of doing a personal best (PB) in competition. All swimmers are encouraged to have a go at participating in a swim meet.
Swim meets are great fun for the swimmers and a good way to get to know other swimmers in a social atmosphere.
Parents and Carers are also encouraged to be involved in swim meets. As all swim meets are organised and run by volunteers from the different Clubs, parents and carers of swimmers, whether Club members or not, are encouraged to volunteer and participate as officials. There are also opportunities for adults to become qualified in the wide range of roles (Timekeeper, Marshall, Starter, Stroke judges etc) it takes to make a swim meet a success.
Types of Swim Meets
Interclub swim meets are hosted by Swimming NT and allow Darwin based Clubs to compete against each other.
Club Invitational Meets
All Clubs may host an Invitational event, and allows them to set the programme and invite other clubs to participate.
Schools City Clusters Competitions
All primary schools in the Northern Territory are in a cluster and are eligible to participate in the annual Tri-Cluster Carnival usually held in October. Entries are organized by participating schools in each Cluster.
How to Enter
The Swimming NT Competition Calendar is available on the Swimming NT website, and includes a complete list of national meets and a link to the registration form. Although the Club will make every effort to ensure swimmers and parents are kept informed of each meet and registration due dates, it is the responsibility of the swimmers/parents to organise their entry. Parents/carers, please consult with your child/children before entering them into competition to avoid having to withdraw your child/children at the Meet. Payment of entry fees must be included with entries and are unable to be refunded under any circumstances (including illness).
Entries to swim meets are via the Swimming NT website.
Please contact The Registrar for more information.
Dolphins Club Nights
Our Club Nights provide a fun and familiar environment for new swimmers to be introduced to competitive swimming. Racing against team mates and the Coaches stopwatch improves swimmers' times and helps them become familiar with the starters gun and the format of a formal swim meet.
Dolphin Club Nights are designed to:
- Introduce swimmers who have not competed in any formal sense to give it a go in a friendly, non pressured, encouraging environment;
- Provide opportunity for seasoned competitors to practice racing skills and/or do time trials against other swimmers of similar or better ability to give them a challenge;
- Provide opportunity for all swimmers in the Club to meet each other, get to know each other and to watch each other swim;
- Provide opportunity for all family members to meet each other, get to know each other and watch their children swim in a friendly, non pressured, encouraging environment.
- be fun!

Claire Duffy's blog about public speaking and communication (in real life). Speak well, do well!
I was asked a good question at a teachers' workshop recently. How can we prepare young women for the – let's call them 'robust' interactions awaiting them when they hit the world of work. It resonated. Just a few weeks ago a young woman sought my advice after being patronised at a job interview. The issue in both cases was the same. How do we equip young women to deal with it when they meet discrimination, sexism or downright misogyny in the workplace?
It is disappointing to be discussing this after forty years of feminism, but ingrained ways are hard to shake, and cultural change takes time (as Julia Gillard or Hillary Clinton would be able to tell you).
All of us have different styles of communicating. It's part of who we are, where we come from, our education and socio-economic background – but also, according to some people, whether we're male or female. Georgetown University's linguistics professor Deborah Tannen has research which suggests that men and women use speech differently. Gender based styles have been called "debate vs. relate", "report vs. rapport, or "competitive vs. cooperative". The idea is that women talk to connect, men to establish their status. Women talk to strengthen bonds. Men to assert their independence.
These traits have been used to explain the glass ceiling. They're said to make it more difficult for women to succeed at work. They are used as proof of female unsuitability for power. We are thought to be less likely to speak out, and therefore easier to ignore. More likely to be modest, and therefore not get promoted, more likely avoid confrontation, and therefore not up to 'the tough stuff'. Women are also thought to downplay their own abilities in order to maintain social bonds: "If I'm better than you, that's not going to make you like me more."
Intuitively this may ring true. But Oxford University linguist Deborah Cameron says flatly it's a myth. It's just playing to a stereotype we all recognise – about as sophisticated and verifiable as 'Men are from Mars and Women from Venus'.
Cameron says communication styles depend on who you're studying and what the context is. For example, blue collar female forewomen are very assertive, even over men. On this basis, if gender-based communication styles do exist, they probably arise from the long standing social division of roles between the sexes: men going out into the world for breadwinning, profit making and governing; women staying home to tend the hearth and the family. As one scholar says, "history has many themes, one of them is that women should be quiet". It's this that we have to address.
It's only tradition that gave women their voice in the domestic sphere. All we've done is develop a communication style that works in context. When men criticise and label you as 'unsuitable', you need to see through it. They are holding on to the status quo and trying to secure their own position in the Big Wide World.
No-one, male or female, wants their head shot off, or to be disregarded, overlooked or ignored. The problem for women is that men are used to doing these sorts of things to others in a way women do not. Unsuspecting women find themselves under attack from weapons they do not recognise and cannot use. A young woman goes for a job and is shocked to have her resume sneered at. A new female manager is talked over by her male colleagues. The job seeker doesn't see that in some weird way a 22 year old blonde is a threat and the boss asserts his status by squashing her. The new manager doesn't see that her presence is denied because her male co-workers want her excluded from their power cirlce.
It takes nerve and courage to push through this kind of treatment. If you do there will be a backlash. There's the 'you're not meant to be here' syndrome. Countless female pioneers have talked about it, and women in male dominated workplaces still talk about it. A woman in engineering or IT can still feel pretty uncomfortable.
I have not been able to come up with a good answer to the question from the workshop. Given time and persistence I think men will learn to accommodate women at work, and women will develop the skills they need to make their way. What young women need as they start out is awareness of the mythology, and to have backup, support, mentoring and a chance to practice the unfamiliar.
Girls need to know that 'aggressive' does not equal 'smart'. If anyone, male or female, is mean to you at work, you are probably upsetting someone who feels threatened and doesn't know how to deal with it. Secondly, men who behave in an intimidating way will not cease if you allow yourself to be intimidated. Learn to recognise behaviour that's out of line and call it. Draw the job interview to a close, challenge the colleagues to let you speak. Tolerate the fact that they won't like you for it.
I have a fervent belief in the importance of encouraging girls to present, speak in public and debate. It builds confidence, trains thought processes and teaches them how to handle the unexpected. It develops leadership skills, and is an excellent way to get noticed. If girls can speak in a co-ed environment they may experience the 'shoot 'em down' tactics some males use so well, and be better prepared for future encounters.
Of course there's another side. Boys need to be taught that rugby is not a roadmap for life, that girls are as good as they are, that empathy, listening, courtesy and consideration are tools everyone needs to be able to use.
I would welcome readers' views on this issue. Meantime….as someone once said, men are from earth and women are from earth. Deal with it.

Afghanistan: Afghan women's rights activist receives 2007 International Service award
Source:IS / Womankind / WLUML
Najia Haneefi is the 2007 winner of the coveted International Service award for women's human rights, awarded at a ceremony on 5 Dec. at the House of Commons, London.
Najia, until recently Director of the Afghanistan Women's Educational Centre in Kabul, impressed the judges with her 'great commitment' to campaigning for her countrywomen's rights.
They commented that Najia showed 'immense personal courage' to remain committed to her cause despite threats to her life. The judges were also impressed with the 'sustainable and effective' work of the Afghan Women's Educational Centre; in particular its successful combination of practical projects and political campaigning.
Najia has been campaigning for Afghan women's rights for many years. She worked to empower women throughout civil war and the Taliban regime and continues to do so today, despite the fact that her activities have provoked threats and attacks from fundamentalists.
Najia has made a real difference to Afghan women's lives - one of her most memorable achievements is successfully leading a campaign against the reintroduction of a Ministry of Vice and Virtue which, in 2006, seemed certain.

Founding and early history[edit]
The Daily Telegraph
We shall be guided by a high tone of independent action.
However, the paper was not a success, and Sleigh was unable to pay
Levy the printing bill.[13] Levy took over the newspaper, his aim
being to produce a cheaper newspaper than his main competitors in
London, the Daily News and The Morning Post, to expand the size of the
overall market.[citation needed] Levy appointed his son, Edward
Levy-Lawson, and
Thornton Leigh Hunt to edit the newspaper, and
relaunched it as The Daily Telegraph, with the slogan "the largest,
best, and cheapest newspaper in the world".[14] Hunt laid out the
newspaper's principles in a memorandum sent to Levy: "We should report
all striking events in science, so told that the intelligent public
can understand what has happened and can see its bearing on our daily
life and our future. The same principle should apply to all other
events—to fashion, to new inventions, to new methods of conducting

This was the first time the club hosted this event. The tournament, which showcases a field of the state's top PGA professionals and amateurs, paid a total purse of $20,500. Palmer deserves to be proud for many reasons this weekend, including breaking the course record with his second round score of 7-under par 65. His Round 1 score of 2-under par 70 and Round 3 score of 3-under par 69 were also noteworthy. Palmer won by seven shots over Cameron Clarke of Pittsboro. Reflecting on his incredible rounds, Palmer said, "It was one of the greatest experiences as far as golf goes. It was the best performance I have ever had. It was very stressful starting today with the lead. I had a goal in mind to shoot even par or under, and whatever happened would happen. With [today's round of] 3-under par, I am tickled pink. What a fine golf course. What a fine weekend of golf. It was a fun golf course to play. I am glad to be the Trustmark Invitational Champion and the course record holder." Marshall Saxon of Biloxi was awarded the William E. Sonny Lawson Cup, which is given to the Round One Low Professional. Saxon also claimed the PGA Professional Champion title with rounds of 70-72-73 for a three-day total of 1-under par 215. Additional flight winners were: 1st Flight – Isaiah Jackson of Golden 2nd Flight – Tucker Jenkins of Guntown 3rd Flight – Rhett Walters of Louin 4th Flight – Trenton Myers of Brandon Thank you to Managing Partner Larry Britt, PGA General Manager Ricky Hamilton, Head Golf Course Superintendent Jeremy Castle, Executive Chef Jonathan Oliver as well as the rest of the staff at the Country Club of Oxford for all of their hard work in making this a fantastic event. The Mississippi PGA is comprised of 130 PGA professionals who are recognized experts in the game and business of golf and are employed at 65 of Mississippi's finest golf facilities. Mississippi Chapter President Tim Basel, PGA, comments, "It is great to have the Trustmark Invitational in Oxford for the first time. The Country Club of Oxford has been a great host, and this event was a huge success."

Robin van Persie has targeted the Manchester derby on April 12 for his return from injury.
The Manchester United striker has missed the last five games after suffering ankle ligament damage in the 2-1 defeat at Swansea more than a month ago.
But Van Persie believes he will be back in time for the Premier League clash with City at Old Trafford as Louis van Gaal's side fight for second place with their neighbours, who are currently two points ahead. The Dutchman scored a memorable late winner at the Etihad in 2012 to help United seize the title back from City.
Van Persie has spent some time at home in Holland during his layoff, but he has been working hard in the gym under the supervision of United physio Matt Radcliffe and is expected to step up his rehabilitation during the international break.
United have coped well in Van Persie's absence, winning all four Premier League games – beating top-four rivals Liverpool and Tottenham – but lost in the FA Cup against his old club Arsenal.
The 31-year-old has scored 10 goals in 26 games for his club this season, although he admitted in January that his form has not been good enough and is uncertain if United will offer him a contract extension before his current deal runs out in 15 months' time.

No apologies!
Saying sorry is quite often overestimated. Why would words amend what feelings do not show?
A helping hand would be on your way if friends are close, or good people who would help for the sake of it. Don't be sorry, don't expect apologies. Be yourself and should not harm anyone.


text: On Dec 18, 1943, The Lancet reported on an investigation of typhus vaccination made by the German doctor Erwin Ding. It described Ding's findings in a straightforward way, comparing his results to those obtained in the UK and the USA, while commenting in passing that Ding was a member of the German SS. But the report concluded by noting a statistical oddity in the data: the infection of participants seemed strangely synchronised. "Thus", it read, "it seems that particularly heavy infections occurred in some hundreds of persons on known days during the investigations of a storm-trooper leader.

LA County teacher charged with workers' compensation fraud and child abuse
News: 2016 Press Release
VALENCIA, Calif. — Eric Johnson, 61, of Valencia, was arrested today by Department of Insurance detectives, at his place of employment in Lancaster, on two felony counts of insurance fraud and one felony count of child abuse after an incident with a student.
Johnson, a teacher for the Los Angeles County Office of Education, filed a workers' compensation claim after an altercation with a 17-year-old minor at the Camp Mendenhall juvenile facility.
Johnson claimed the student initiated the altercation striking him in the jaw and lip. Johnson stated the minor then shoved him into a wall, but video evidence revealed Johnson actually instigated the physical altercation and assaulted the minor. Victim and witness statements corroborated the video evidence. According to the evidence, Johnson did not sustain any physical injuries.
The Los Angeles County Office of Education paid approximately $1,000 in losses because of Johnson's allegedly fraudulent claim. Early discovery of Johnson's claim likely prevented larger losses for the county.
Johnson was booked into the Los Angeles County Sheriff's detention facility. This case is being prosecuted by the Los Angeles District Attorney's office.

Petang semalam melawat mak Mel.
Is there a standard design of hospital bed placement (and maintenance) in Malaysia? Putrajaya Hospital seems to be of high standard, why not use that hospital as the benchmark for the design of all hospital bed placement in Malaysia? Roomy, spacious (and clean).
melawat bakal mak mertua??
smoga mak mel sihat selalu
almost all the new hospital.. like sungai buloh, serdang and fews under construction and design, putrajaya as new benchmark for the most facilities and spaces.
