We watched “Love Actually”: last night. _Stupid Actually_. This movie was so bad in so many ways it’s pointless to even talk about it. And both Siskel Ebert and Roeper liked it. I may have to stop respecting their opinions. Almost every relationship featured a man and his female employee, except for the 6 year-old kid and his classmate (seriously).

Wait, does that make it the “best” city for driving and getting lost?
Last night, we went to the “charity auction”: that we “helped out initially”: on. It was held at “Misty Isle Farms”:, the home of Tom Stewart, a local Vashon celebrity. That alone was a treat for us, never having been there. He lives on beautiful grounds, immaculately landscaped complete with a waterfall and a rose garden.
Most of the auction items were expensive bottles of wine and we were outbid on a few bottles of wine by people at our own table, apparently wine connoisseurs. But we did end up with a bottle of 1984 “Stags Leap”: Cabernet Sauvignon. I think we overpaid, but hey, it’s for charity. 🙂 Gay also bought three of the table centerpieces, large glass vases.
After the auction, we went to our friends’ house for some (more) wine, to play with their new puppy and we watched “Fargo”:. Great movie.

The servings are much larger than a typical tapas place, so we ended up with too much food. And, of course, all four of us got desserts which were even bigger, so we couldn’t finish them.

I’ve been listening more and more to Alt 98.7’s morning The Woody Show. And I have to say I find it very entertaining.
Perhaps the best kept secret in Los Angeles radio, the morning program has been on the air at Alt 98.7 since April of 2014. Only relatively recently has the station actually promoted it, though the ratings of the program have been instrumental in raising the fortunes of the station overall. In August, Alt earned its highest rating in recent memory, tied with Real 92.3 at 8th place and a 3.4 share of the audience and solidly beating longtime alternative leader KROQ (106.7 FM), which was 19th with a 2.3 share.

en | N/A | N/A | Donald Trump’s visit to the UK coincides with the anniversary of D-Day, and while the two events may seem worlds apart, George Galloway examines the very real threat Great Britain is facing exactly 75 years later.
June 6, 1944 marked D-Day, the launch of the Second Front intended to liberate the western part of Europe from their long years of Nazi occupation. It was a mammoth heroic and bitterly contested crossing of the English Channel landing on the beaches of Normandy and much Allied blood was paid for the bridgehead, British and Commonwealth and American.
Contrary to Hollywood myth-making of the 1213 warships involved in the landing, 892 were British or Canadian as against 200 American. Of the 4126 landing craft, 3261 were British. Two-thirds of the 12000 aircraft involved that day were British or Canadian as were two-thirds of the soldiers who landed on the beaches. Saving Private Ryan was fiction.
Fictional too is the myth that D-Day was launched in order to take pressure off the Eastern Front where for three long years Soviet Red Army soldiers and civilians had been dying in their millions. In fact, D-Day was finally launched – three years late and despite repeated false promises that it would be – precisely because of the rate of the Soviet advance on Berlin and the danger of the precipitous collapse of the beast of fascism therein before Western armies could even get their boots on European ground.
The failure to launch the Second Front in 1942 and in 1943 was motivated at first by the belief and in many quarters the hope that Nazism would vanquish the USSR and destroy it. This same hope had motivated many of the appeasers who had failed to confront Hitler from the mid-1930s praying that in return he would turn his monstrous war-machine eastwards instead.
After Stalingrad and the Battle of Kursk and the bitter retreat of the fascist forces towards Germany that hope turned into a fear that the Red Army would win a complete victory almost on its own.
Such a mindset is still present as demonstrated by the minting of a coin commemorating this 75th Anniversary of the landings which completely omits the flag of the USSR – the most vital part of the great war-time alliance without whom the landings could never have been made and the war could not have been won!
But the annual commemorations are especially significant this year not just because it is the 75th such anniversary.
Also on rt.com Ideals that won victory are still the greatest of ideals (by George Galloway)
It is D-Day for another reason – Donald Day.
There was some resentment in the run-up to the Normandy landings about the build-up of American forces in England: “Overpaid, over-sexed, over here.”
Not many Americans could better exemplify all three characteristics than Donald J Trump although his ankle-problems would undoubtedly have ruled him out of the actual fighting in 1944.
The billionaire is over here this week and some resentment at his presence is guaranteed.
No matter that the vast majority of protestors wouldn't have raised a placard against the crooner, his suave predecessor Barack Obama though he killed a lot more innocent people than Trump has – so far. His superior table-manners made him a cool and welcome guest amongst the glitterati.
No matter that Obama deported more people from the United States than Trump, that Bill Clinton imprisoned more black people in America than any other president before or since or that Mrs Clinton played a leading role in turning Libya into a place where black people are traded in slave-markets. It’s Trump who is the racist.
Vulgar and oafish periodically, the Donald largely didn’t play the fool but still aroused great passion amongst the crowds. His trousers didn’t fall down, he denied he’d insulted our American Princess (even though it’s on tape) and he didn’t, as before, walk in front of the Queen with his characteristic ignorance of protocol. But all notions of governmental protocol had already been thrown out the window with his brazen endorsement of Boris Johnson as his preferred candidate for the British premiership. He met Nigel Farage too in presumed defiance of government wishes. Hilariously he said he’d never met Boris’s rival for the job Michael Gove, which is not how Mr Gove remembered his three-hour interview for the Times with the president! Mind you, Gove’s then proprietor Rupert Murdoch had also been present. One always remembers the ventriloquist seldom the dummy on his knee.
Also on rt.com Huh? Queen introduced to leaders of WWII D-Day ‘allied nations’... including Germany’s Merkel
And beware of Greeks bearing gifts as they say. Smarter Americans in his entourage brought with them in their satchels the basis of a free-trade deal – a “phenomenal deal” said President Trump, between post-Brexit Britain and the US making them overpaid oversexed over here and all over our public services especially the vastly rich-pickings of our National Health Services. Of course “the NHS is on the table” in those negotiations said the president as the prime ministers face hit the floor.
Trading the rich pickings of the NHS would be a bridge too far for the vast majority of British people of all political persuasions and open a new – a last – chapter in the special relationship. Most British people will defend our small island against that kind of invasion, on the beaches and on the landing grounds, in the hills and in the fields and from house to house. They would never surrender that which they won at the end of the Second World War. In fact, the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is probably dusting down some war-time rhetoric as I speak...

West End student defeats the odds to begin a college career
Dealing with the death of both parents, Tyrelle Smith couldn't take his academics seriously at Carver High School. He had more than 40 absences because he truly believed he didn't need an education to graduate.
“My counselor told me that if I didn't start going to class then I wouldn't graduate,” the 18 year-old said. “When the summer came, they told me I needed to go to summer school since I never went to class. I just felt like I didn't need it.”
Smith’s grandmother, Sharon Chainey, never gave up on him and continued pushing him to do better.
“He didn't want to go to Carver so we brought him to [West End Academy Performance Learning Center], and he still didn't want to go to school. I told him if he dropped out of school, then don’t come back home,” Chainey said. “I kept pushing him and kept praying. Before West End, Tyrelle was going nowhere and was floating the opposite way. West End was the place for him where everybody showed him love and support. This school changed his life.”
West End Academy Site Coordinator Lisa Wilson swept Smith under her wing to encourage him, provide mentorship and show him his true potential. By the end of summer 2014, Tyrelle completed four classes and had a 100 percent attendance rate.
“When I first got here, I didn't want to be here. I just kept going and got to know Mrs. Wilson, and I realized I liked school enough to do my work,” Smith said. “If Mrs. Wilson didn't stop me from leaving school, I don’t know where I’d be.”
In mid-September, Smith enrolled in classes at Arkansas Baptist College with plans to pursue a degree in psychology. He even landed a job in the college’s admissions department with the help of Atlanta Public Schools Board of Education Member Steven Lee (District 5).
“I’m excited and happy that I’m making my grandmother proud, my principal proud and I’m proud of myself,” Smith said. “I never thought I had the option of going to college because I failed so many classes in my 11th and 12th grade year, but I did it. I thank my grandparents, [Principal Dr. Evelyn Mobley], Mrs. Wilson and Communities In Schools for helping me with my second chance.”
Wilson surprised Smith with $8,000 from the West End Academy Scholarship Fund to help cover his expenses on tuition, books, transportation and housing. Smith is the first student to graduate this semester out of a roster of 110 students at West End.
“Tyrelle is an awesome young man. He had a stellar summer and he did exceptionally well academically,” Dr. Mobley said. “He redirected himself to be the best he can be and became a model student. He is an ambassador of hope.”
The West End Academy Scholarship is made possible through generous support from the Robert & Polly Dunn Foundation. To contribute to the scholarship fund, please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. |

en | N/A | N/A | New Home Sales vs. Existing Home Sales
Last week, we received some conflicting numbers in regards to how homes are selling in the market right now. First, the encouraging news is that existing home sales are up significantly for the second consecutive month. In June, sales jumped 3.2 percent over the previous month and—even more amazingly—sales increased 9.6 percent over June 2014. As a key summer month for purchasing homes, this June is certainly a big indicator that the market is well on its way to a full recovery.
On the other hand, we also received the numbers in regards to new home purchases—and this news was less encouraging. Declining 6.8 percent, new home sales hit a seven month low. Although people are purchasing more homes, new homes aren't being built. So, the question is—which number is more important? What should we be paying attention to?
Well, I'm going to take the easy way out on this one—I think they're both important. The obvious response is that the existing home sales are a better indicator, because they account for 90 percent of the market. That is certainly true. However, we must remember that all existing homes were once new homes. New home sales are, therefore, a more long-term indicator of the health of our economy. If new homes aren't being built, it could mean a worse situation later down the road.
The important thing is take all the data we can into account. Existing-home sales, new home sales, and any other piece of information we can get can help us develop better strategy to make better decisions going forward. It's never one or the other—we'll take everything we can get. |
en | N/A | N/A | So when celebrated American chef David Chang’s Momofuku opened its only outpost in the Southern hemisphere to rapturous fanfare back in 2011, I was even more determined to wait out the hype.
Its infamous on-line booking system requires you to set up a Momofuku user account and log in at 10 am exactly ten days before your reservation date. Only group reservations of two or four are accepted. I smiled in joyous wonder on hearing stories people took months to secure a booking by logging on every day to try their luck.
Our homemade pork belly bun
And I balked when the media and an entire legion of Sydney herdsters sensationally lost their pants over Chang’s pork bun which by his own admission, is far from an original because the Chinese have been doing it for yonks.
The more they raved about the bun, the more I was laughing because Mysaucepan and I were enjoying our own recipe at home for the past three years. And at a fraction of the cost I might add.
Back then in November 2011, SMH Good Food Guide chief reviewer Terry Durack went as far as saying Momofuku will change Sydney dining.
Since then, Sydney’s fine dining has seen a bloodbath never quite seen before ~ Bilsons, Becasse, Claude’s and Berowra Waters Inn are just a few among a tirade of fine dining fatalities.
But Mysaucepan is always excited by new and innovative restaurants and far more patient than I will ever be. In the last three years, she waited … and waited. And on our tenth wedding anniversary this week, she pounced online and finally secured a Saturday lunch booking, the only day Momofuku is open for lunch.
In this day and age of high consumerism and a highly competitive dining scene in Sydney, I am conscious that twice the price may not necessarily equate to being twice as good.
But, I remain objective and open, to be fair to the restaurant. I am blotting out all I have heard and read over the last three years about this three-hatted Sydney establishment that had gained such high accolades.
Because when I eat, I listen to my own heart and no one else. And here’s my very own experience.
Shaving mullet roe onto tartlets, Momofuku Sydney
The restaurant is only a 30-seater or so and bar dining envelopes three sides of an open kitchen that bears its soul to all.
A team of chefs scurrying around simmering stock pots, mise en place, steam ovens and sizzling hot griddles add to the theatrics of Momofuku. Watching chefs at work and sitting next to strangers that share the same passion for good food adds a sense of conviviality.
As we sipped on our drinks, we were treated to some of the funkiest tunes from the 1980’s and this added to a fine dining experience with a difference. To our delight, Dance Hall Days by British pop group Wang Chung was blaring from the speakers. It was one among so many great hits by Madonna, Simply Red, Dire Straits, Michael Jackson and many more.
Our afternoon of good food and music is well and truly set.

Mysaucepan and I through our lunch at Momofuku.
Another chef tells us we will not be given a menu until after the meal although each dish will be served personally by the chefs themselves and thoroughly explained.
(Courses named in the images below are stated as they appear on the menu provided at the end of our meal.)
Andre Beaufort Champagne $32 per glass
“I want a glass of champagne to start” Mysaucepan says adamantly.
“Whatever you say dear since it’s our anniversary” I reply.
As I down my $10 Lord Nelson Pale Ale, I couldn’t help grit my teeth a little at Mysaucepan‘s Andre Beaufort Champagne.
“I hope it tastes as good as the price suggests” I add.
Course 1: Tartlets; Parson’s nose and roe; Cep and hazelnut
Our prelude begins with a trio of snacks.
Pearls of crunchy zucchini are paired against sweet black garlic puree, sweet carrot puree with pungent mullet roe powder and pumpkin seed with sweet crab meat, all served on wafer-thin tartlets of crumbling shortcrust pastry.
Mysaucepan likes the sweetness of snow crab meat against crunchy pumpkin seeds.
Course 1: Parson's nose, roe
“This is chicken tail, crème fraiche and salmon roe, enjoy it guys” a chef tells us.
The contrarian in me asks “No more pork bun on the menu, is that right?”
“That’s right” he replies. “We hate it coz it doesn’t really go with the rest of the meal.”
“I agree and it fills you up too. I don’t need to come here for a pork bun when I can get it at the Chinese restaurant next door” I say, clasping my hands in glee.
“Chicken tail makes no sense to me” I say to Mysaucepan. “I prefer calling it Parson’s nose …. or chicken butthole perhaps?” I jokingly tell her.
I am laughing as she roll her eyes.
“Mmmmm, this one’s so good” she says, popping a piece into her mouth.
The Parson’s nose is perhaps fried and then slow-baked until its fat totally rendered. It’s a savoury bomb blast in the mouth as beads of briny salmon roe pop around the crisp and gently chewy butt skin.
It’s a clever dish because Parson’s nose definitely sounds more exotic than plain old chicken skin. And it’s dirt cheap too. It has given me an enticing idea to keep all the chicken drumstick skin which I shred and throw away when making stock at home.
Course 1: Cep, hazelnut
The last of our snacks is two planks of soldier toast layered with a thin slice of savoury cep, topped with flakes and residual bits of hazelnut.
The crisp of the toast and hazelnuts are gentle against the soft cep, the powdery flakes giving a pillowy mouth-feel.
“This could be a good canapé for our next home party?” Mysaucepan asks.
“Sure, but white bread brushed with clarified butter in the oven” I say, noting her abhorrence against white bread.
Course 2: Scallop, kombu, duck broth
Scallop ravioli in kombu and smoked duck broth is the first of our hot course.
A whole scallop encassed in a ravioli is tender though the pasta is a little too al dente for my liking. Call it Italian scallop wonton if you like because the Asian inspired noodles and broth are warming with its rich and smoky duck flavour.
Course 3: Beef, radish, fermented black bean
The juxtaposition of fermented black bean powder sprinkled over a beautiful coral of thinly sliced red, white and yellow radish might look jarring at first glance.
“Make sure you mix it all up well” sous chef Cian Mulholland, affectionately known among his peers as ‘Irish’ tells us.
As we toss this ‘salad’, boldly rare wagyu beef and watermelon diced into tiny half centimetre cubes in a dark and smoky burnt watermelon skin dressing come into view.
“I don’t quite like this dish” Mysaucepan immediately declares.
“I think you need to see through the thought and creativity behind it” I reply.
Tiny cubes of red watermelon paired with beef is as unlikely a union as English rock legend David Bowie with his Somalian-born wife and model Iman. It may sound strange at first, but it actually works because their marriage has lasted for over twenty years.
The brashly raw and crunchy taste of radish is warmed by succulent beefy cubes and the occasional burst of tiny sweet watermelon cubes which I almost mistook for beef fat is a surprising revelation. The intoxicating pungency of fermented black bean is truffle-like and rather sexy. It seems like the seductive ingredient so needed to make marriages work these days.
This unusual dish turns out to be my favourite for its creative ingenuity. There’s bold rawness in the radish yet its apparent dischord against the beef and watermelon seems so beautiful and so right. This dish is like the dissonant and atonal Piano Sonata No. 7 movement no. 3 (Precipitato) by Prokofiev on a plate. The pungent energy of fermented blackbean is like the Russian composer’s passion in urging troops to victory during this piano sonata’s debut in 1943 played by legendary Russian pianist Sviatoslav Richter in the height of World War II.
Course 4: Marron, burnt apple, ajwain
Ajwain sounds like some American rapper whose music I would rather not know about. But it’s actually a herb which originated in the eastern Mediterranean, possibly Egypt.
Dry roasted and sprinkled over two halves of delicate West Australian marron tails, cauliflower puree and a prolate spheroid of burnt apple, it adds a wonderful fragrance to this dish.
But like I said in the beginning, I am old-skool. The burnt apple might work with roast pork but pairing it with the subtle taste of poached marron is like the short and unlikely marriage between Lisa-Marie Presley and the late king of pop Michael Jackson.
The taste of burnt apple with its crispy and slightly bitter bits of skin is sweet and jarring, a bit like Jackson’s music. But it does little to complement the gentle taste of marron reminiscent of Presley’s demure persona.
And instead of cauliflower puree which has been done to death in Sydney restaurants, roasted cauliflower florets with burnt butter would pair so much better with Lisa-Marie in my humble opinion.
Course 5: Grouper, broccoli, lemon
A fillet of steamed grouper is huddled by sprigs of broccolini, broccoli puree, raw almonds and preserved lemon puree.
There is a gentle, bitter nuance in both the purees that appeal to my palate. Perhaps it’s an awakening to steamed whole fish that Cantonese restaurants do so well. The fresh crunch of broccolini and almonds adds a good textural dimension to the soft and succulent grouper and the preserved lemon puree gives the dish a well-balanced acidity.
Course 6: Partridge, truffle, endive
Two slivers of roasted partridge breast are lined against endive leaves and a black truffle puree.
How else would you give partridge a fine dining spruce up except with an upmarket ingredient like black truffle or foie gras?
The bird is crisp on the skin, still pink and succulent inside and pairs nicely with the earthy aromas of truffle puree and the bitterness of the raw endive. This one works like a Hollywood couple that’s been together for while.
This dish is definitely John Travolta and his long-time wife Kelly Preston.
Course 7: Duck, rye, swede
A slab of duck is crisp on the skin and its breast meat boldly pink. First smoked and then roasted, the duck has a smoky edge though retaining all its natural juices.
Its sweet pairing with disks of apple and swede with the occasional pop of rye grains works with the duck’s gamey flavour. It is a classic pairing that have withstood the test of time, just like Danny DeVito and his wife of more than thirty years Rhea Perlman.
Raw ingredients in the fridge, Momofuku Sydney
In between courses, we take in the view of the fridge that houses main ingredients on the restaurant’s menu.
Whole ducks minus its Marylands are hanging out to dry for about week, so we are told. There are also green almonds, watermelon, Packham pears, Granny Smiths, carrots, sugar snap peas and fennel.
Course 8: Ewe’s curd, choux, rose
Course 8: Ewe's curd, choux, rose
A chef pipes chilled ewe’s curd into the base of a crusty albeit soft choux pastry.
The choux pastry is topped with a biscuit crust and then baked, giving it a crisp finish. Rose syrup adds a floral sweetness to our first dessert course.
Course 9: Corn, chervil, anise
This is another unusual and surprising combination that works.
The brash, wheat-grassy chervil sorbet is a brusk and rascal-like Robert Downey Jr. who admitted to smoking weed when he was just eight years old.
Whichever girl he dates would seem wholesome, just like the dollop of sweet corn puree he has under his spell.
Course 10: Cherry, pistachio, gin
A rich and nutty pistachio sorbet with discs of savoury cocoa nib biscuits is definitely an Eddie Murphy being the talented and nutty character that he is.
His West Australian, bikini-clad girlfriend Paige Butcher comes in the sweet, pitted halves of gin-soaked cherries, in itself an implication of lost innocence.
The again, what would you expect when you are Eddie Murphy’s girlfriend?
Complimentary petite four - canele and 2010 Maury dessert wine
Our host Ambrose Chiang loads us up with a complimentary petite four – the classic French canelé, though given a Momofuku touch of coated bees’ wax for extra crunch.
He pours us two glasses of 2o1o Maury dessert wine which he says is France’s answer to a good old tawny port. We are just about the last diners at 3.30pm as we sip on our stickies.
Bar dining, Momofuku Sydney
I guess your burning question to me is whether Momofuku is worth its three-hatted hype?
No doubt, there are some deft skill, technique and creativity in Momofuku’s food and the combination of flavours can be refreshing and innovative. Stepping into a David Chang restaurant do require an expectation for some kind of weird and wonderful flavours you might never have tasted nor even thought about.
Watching busy chefs at work and being able to engage in foodie conversations with strangers is a plus, if you’re into that kind of thing. Service is seamless and knowledgeable as one would come to expect. But being a non-dessert fan, three dessert courses were a little overwhelming for me but Mysaucepan isn’t complaining as she loves desserts.
With so many good restaurants in Sydney at the moment, I believe $185 in your wallet is good for at least two solid meals. In saying that, I’m talking about restaurants with a similar level of technique, creativity, ambience and service.
A case in point is new kid on the block LuMi Bar & Dining which is just a short stroll from The Star where Momofuku is located. Weighing in at $95 per person for an 8-course degustatation with awesome water views thrown in for free, this is a restaurant Terry Durack is now raving about, giving it a similar score of 16 / 20 as he did Momofuku more than three years ago. Inflation and rising cost of rent and wages aside, isn’t this a no-brainer?
But if I were to put on my ‘cheap-and-tasty-comfort-food‘ hat, I would say $185 can potentially fetch you ten bloody good meals or more in our fair food city though I’m merely comparing food cost and not the entire dining experience. Then again, I believe this is what most diners are increasingly demanding – flavour and substance over hype and form.
My advice is to not trust Terry Durack or me but rather just go with your heart.
That always makes the best meals.
So tell me dear readers, do you read restaurants reviews before dining at one or do you prefer to go with your heart?
Level G, 80 Pyrmont street
Tel: Not available. For reservations, go to Momofuku reservation page here.
Opening hours: Lunch Saturday, Dinner Monday to Saturday

16 Responses to Momofuku, Sydney
I don’t seek out reviews before dining but I do think about reviews I’ve read in the past that have stuck. I would go to Momofuku for an anniversary or other special event but for a good meal, I’d save some money and eat elsewhere.
BTW, you will never write a line better than this:
“…and gently chewy butt skin.”
I do think Momofuku is a “special occasion” restaurant as, price aside, I can’t see myself eating this kind of food everyday.
The “gently chewy butt skin” did have a nice crisp to it too
Oh, an interesting review – I do read reviews (obviously – I visit this site regularly!) – however I tend to be more swayed by what others (who I trust on food matters) tell me.
I also listen to friends who may have similar taste buds as myself when it comes to choosing restaurants.
A lot of nodding going on as I read this. I didn’t like the beef dish either, nor did I think it merits three hats and $185. And congratulations on your anniversary! We clock up 13 years next month!
I guess food is subjective and some of the good “three hat restaurants” in my books are those which cost less than $20.
I guess I use a combination of sources….and often like to head away from the hype. I have a tendency to try places that are somewhat obscure sometimes. This works sometimes but can be an epic fail on other times!
Finding a “gem” of a restaurant that no one else has discovered is quite an exhilarating experience but I have also had that “epic fail” experience many times too!
January 14, 2015 at 2:16 pm
I most definitely will not visit a place without checking the reviews first. Being a food blogger myself, I tend to turn to my fellow foodies for help!
That being said, if they reviews are horrible I most likely won’t go!
PS your meals looked absolutely divine AND a big happy anniversary!
I agree it can be most difficult to ignore the really good and really bad reviews. Thanks for your greetings.
My king of degustation, look at all those beautiful seafood.
Mmm as silly as this sounds, I usually just go by gut and smell from the kitchens! But if it is for an important occasion, then I will usually read the reviews
Great photos my friend, and Happy Anniversary!
January 16, 2015 at 11:15 pm
I like to trust my own instincts too and have had mixed experiences in doing so.
I was looking forward to this review! I LOVE your reviews for their absolutely honesty and refreshing view. I agree about hype. I hate it. For example, I don’t get the Bentley “thing”. I thought the food was average and way overpriced. I love Rockpool B&G food but I hate that it’s a “scene”. I think Ucello’s is the most overrated Italian restaurant in Sydney. My list goes on and on!
I have a different view about Momofuku though! I think it is one of the most outstanding restaurants in Sydney. Yes, it’s expensive. But I don’t think you can get fusion Asian food of this quality and innovative anywhere else in Sydney. Tetsuya’s is the closest I think, and it is right up there in price with Momofuku. Don’t get me wrong, I’m more of a “hole in the wall” type gal. I think some of Sydney’s best food is < $20 places!!
WHERE in Sydney can you get pork buns that compare with Momofuku's??!! Please tell me!! I am gutted they don't serve it anymore, it was the highlight for me! And I am checking out YOUR recipe now to make it soon!
And what happened to the grand finale??!! When we were there, they served the pork bossum at the end AFTER dessert. It was the most unexpected but most AWESOME finish to the meal!!
Thank you for sharing this review!!
I found Bentley to be very average too and so was Brent Savage’s other restaurant Yellow. I have not tried Ucello though I have so far had great experiences at Merivale and Justin Hemmes’ restaurants.
Momofuku’s food is good though I like Tetsuya’s too for that “total restaurant experience” – immaculate service, ambience and of course cutting edge flavours. Having said that, I’m like you because some of Sydney’s best cheap eats are so damn delicious!
I believe there are many places serving those pork buns now though I have not eaten in any of those restaurants apart from our homemade recipe, which is a Momofuku recipe anyway.
I was more intrigued by the pork bossum as petit fours over the pork buns but both has now been removed anyway. Prices have only gone up by $10 since they opened in 2011 so I guess something has to give.
Absolutely agree with you on food reviews. Obviously I will read them to get ideas on where to dine next, but I am not going to blindly trust them. It is always better to try things out yourself and form your own conclusions. I find some of the places they’ve given hats to in the Good Food Guide to be dubious (now that’s something I can talk an age about haha). But then again food is so subjective.
And happy anniversay guys! |

en | N/A | N/A | I am absolutely outraged by the parents who called my school is "concern" over Obama's address being shown at school. My mom is pulling me out of school, so I can watch it, instead of vice versa. Obama is going to help better the students of America, and to help them stay in school. When your kid drops out of school tell me how you feel. Will you pull your kids out because they are showing this in school?
We need them to learn how to get on these government programs. We need to teach our children how evil corporations have ruined our plan for a socialist utopia. We need to teach our kids to support Obama since he is the source for all that is good and fair. We need teach them that the constitution is just rubbish. We need a new way of doing things. We should worship Obama as our GOD. Together we can have change. Long live Communism!
Clrum, do you decide what your kids wear when they leave the house?Do you tell them what kind of music to listen to?Do you allow them to think for themselves?
greatdebater- most parents of young kids do those things. Yes I dress my kids for the day. I give them some say in it. But if it is 20 degrees out I don't let them wear shorts and a t-shirt. I also like to make sure their clothes some what match. My son is 6 and horrible at that. SO I help him out. I only let them listen to age appropriate music. At ages 6 and 2 you can bet I am not letting them listen to rock or rap. Just kids music.(and not kids bop either) Think for themselves?Trust me. My kids are very opinioned. They do really well at thinking for themselves. They think candy should be a breakfast, lunch and dinner meal. But as mom I tell them no and why. So yes I make decisions for them. Yes I tell them what to do . Yes I pre-screen books, DVDs, video games, etc....
Is your mom planning on watching it with you?
Lets be realistic here. He is just the president. A kid is not going to drop out of school just because they did not hear Obama tell them not to. Nor are they likely to stay just because the president told them to. It all comes down to the parents. If the parents raise a child to feel education is important than they will stay in school and get good grades. If the parents do not care if the kid shows up to school and learns then the child won't feel its important and therefore won't put any effort into learning. If all he is going to talk about is the importance of eduaction....then great. But he might a well be talking to the wind. He does not have as much influence on a child's life or decisions as the parents. As for my child. Well I virtual school so we will do school as normal that day here at home just like we do everyday. Will I let him watch the speech?Well not live. I will watch it myself first. Then decide if it is appropriate for him. If it is than yes I will let him watch later in the day. As long as Obama talks about how important education is I will let him watch it. But my son is 6 so I prescreen just about everything he watches or reads to make sure it is age appropriate for him and does not have any content that is not appropriate for him. I think the big deal is being made for one reason.th. Weather or not he going to just stick to the importance of education or if he going to add in some of his policy leanings. I think they should let the parents see a copy of the speech BEFORE it is given.Plus a copy of all the worksheets that are going to be used by the teachers BEFORE they are used. THen let the parents decide if they want their kids involved with it or not. But at the beginning and end of the day......
How is teaching you to support Obama, and making you make goals in how you can better support him making you a better person?
But if the day is spent doing nothing but listening to Obama and making goals on supporting him better, how are they being educated?
No, I want my children to have their education no matter what. I want them to learn as much as humanly possible and I want them to make their own decisions. I think that the people pulling their children out of school for this are nuts. All people need to be educated, and without education what kind of society are we going to have?
I don't live in the US, but I'm your neighbor up in canada and have been following this closely. I think that Obama is THE president of the USA, therefore his address should be shown to everyone. I woudn't pull my kids out of a class if it were a Bush address. (I use bush because I didn't like him too much...
If we are not allowing Presidents to speak to our kids now then how can we allow recruiters in the schools?How can we allow T.V.'s blasting commercials from filthy companies like Pepsico?How can we have T.V. in schools at all. This is absoulutely ridiculous, this is fascism when we can have corporations speak to our kids at school but not the president. Thanks to all you chicken littles for saving us from the evil... |
en | N/A | N/A | Bad as things are, the challenges that our democracy now confronts are bigger than Donald Trump. He did not create the divisions that the 2016 election revealed, though he has surfaced, exploited, and deepened them. The consequence is not only to embitter Americans toward one another during election campaigns, but also to make governance much more difficult after the election is over.
The failure of the Republican health care bill is just the latest illustration of how hard it is to govern, even when one party controls both the legislative and executive branches. Although progressives have good reasons for celebrating the failure of this particular bill, we should not celebrate the political fragmentation that it reveals. Had Hillary Clinton won last year’s election, it would have been even more difficult for her to govern effectively with a Congress determined to undermine her at every step.
Things look bleaker still when we consider how Americans feel about their system of government. People across the ideological spectrum believe that they lack a meaningful voice in our political system. More and more citizens have even become skeptical of democracy itself. As Roberto Stefan Foa and Yascha Mounk note, 72% of those born before World War II think it essential to live in a democracy but only 30% of millennials feel the same way. This phenomenon isn’t confined to the United States, but the diminishing public faith in democracy among Americans is especially jarring in light of our history of constitutional democracy – and especially worrisome in light of our traditional leading role among democratic countries.
These developments call into question the long-term viability of American democracy. To be clear, I am not making the apocalyptic claim that Trump’s electoral victory signals its imminent demise. The greater threat is a more gradual degradation, what Aziz Huq and Tom Ginsburg call “constitutional retrogression.” Professors Huq and Ginsburg define constitutional retrogression to entail the simultaneous decline of three essential attributes of genuine democracy: (1) free and fair elections, (2) expressive and associational rights, and (3) the rule of law.
Just over two months into the Trump Presidency, we see worrying signs on all three fronts.
During the general election campaign, candidate Trump repeatedly made irresponsible and unfounded allegations of vote rigging, while being cagey about whether he would concede if he lost. President Trump has continued to chase the phantom of electoral fraud since his election, saying he’ll ask the Vice President to lead an investigation. He has sought to undermine honest political discourse, branding the mainstream media “the enemy of the American people.” He has even begun chipping away at the rule of law, castigating federal judges in personal terms for stopping his executive orders restricting travel from certain countries.
President Trump’s reckless tweets don’t mean that our constitutional system is about to collapse but – in the face of the public’s already diminished faith in democracy – these attacks on its cornerstones trigger concern about structural stability.
So how did we get here? And what can be done to reverse the deterioration of American democracy? These are complicated questions that can’t be answered in a single blog post. I’ll address them in future posts and suspect that other contributors to this blog will do so too. My present goal is to identify two contributing factors and to consider where we might look in seeking improvements.
One of the obvious contributors to our present plight is the alarming increase in partisan polarization. There is considerable disagreement on why polarization has increased, but no doubt that it has increased dramatically in recent decades, especially among elected officials but also among voters. It’s also clear that partisan polarization makes governance more difficult, especially at the federal level when bipartisan consensus is often required.
Another contributing factor is the substantial increase in economic inequality during roughly the same period. Since the 1970s, incomes at the top have skyrocketed while those further down have stagnated or even declined. Wealth disparities are even more exaggerated. There two trends – rising political polarization and economic inequality – have risen in near lockstep for decades, as Nolan McCarty, Keith Poole, and Howard Rosenthal have documented. There is reason to believe that they are causally linked and perhaps mutually reinforcing. Both are major contributors to the deterioration of American democracy.
Turning things around will require a multi-faceted approach. There are no magic bullets, but the solution must entail a rethinking and reinvigoration of two of our most fundamental constitutional rights.
The first is the right to freedom of expression. The noblest aspiration of our First Amendment is to facilitate the robust public debate upon which self-government depends. A healthy democracy is one in which in which we not only speak but hear a diversity of perspectives, some of which might actually change our minds. Existing free speech doctrine fails to match this aspiration. The avenues for political expression have multiplied, especially since the advent of social media, yet it has become far too easy for us to avoid meaningful dialogue with those who harbor different views. We inhabit our own echo chambers populated by those who share our perspectives, trolling rather than engaging with those with whom we disagree. Even worse, our political process – including not just election campaigns but the lawmaking that follows – is increasingly dominated by the voices of the wealthy.
The other constitutional right in need of rejuvenation is the right to vote. As often as we praise the right to vote, we seldom appreciate its complexity. Properly speaking, the right to vote should be understood as more than just casting a ballot that is counted. It also entails our equal citizenship as manifest in political representation and governance. The right to vote is thus implicated by the manner in which legislative districts are drawn, the regulation of political parties, and how money flows into the political system. We must understand the right to vote in all of its dimensions, recognizing its systemic and not just individualistic character. Courts aren’t the only place to which we should turn to revitalize the right to vote, but it’s essential that they play a cooperative role – in contrast to the obstructive role that has typified the Roberts Court’s interventions in the democratic process. Breaking the link between economic inequality and political influence is especially vital.
It isn’t too late to arrest the decline of American constitutional democracy. But realization of its promise, perhaps its very survival, will require the creation and implementation of a democracy agenda. I’m honored to be part of this blog and hope that to participate in the development of that agenda.

silly ratings. I think we just did not get a goal early. That would have changed the face of the game. we shd be shooting more
was at the game - i sit on half way line
the space we gave Man u - and the time to choose the pass absolutely killed us
vermalean's faults sort of on parks goal so he can't have a 7
rosicky 3 i thought he was one of our best players
Denilson is a waste of space, when will scrooge McWenger realise this??!?!?
January 31, 2010 at 10:05 PM
a bit selfish maybe but if he had put in those 2 chances evryone would be singing a different tune..
did evrythng he cld in this game..
played from box to box..
smthng needs to be done abt denilson..
very silly ratings - seem more out of anger than logic. Conclusion: we cannot play 433 against the bigger teams sans defensive discipline and assertive strikers.i feel like le boss somehow underestimated united. Lesson learned, lets see what happens @ chelski.
Generally accurate ratings but can't believe you gave Gallas a six he should have got a 2 at most. Watch the highlights he is nowhere to be found on all 3 goals, he always is quick to join the attack but is ALWAYS the last one back in his PROPER position. Clichy suffered because he was playing CB as well!
really ? since when ?
learned in the last few seasons
i loveee arsenal very very much,,, but i its first time in my life that i am feelin shameee,,,,
denilson and almunia players like this we dont need,,,,
it's better to leave teem for us and for them self,,,,,
o coach eat the same shit like he eat on semi final against man.utd.
please arsene learne more dont do the same mistakee,,
i bored about your words we need too seee practiks not word we are tired .......
denilson should get a -10 he did more for man utd than for arsenal next time arsenal r just better playing with 10 men LETS NOT FORGET WENGER BOUGHT THESE PLAYERS HE HAS MONEY BUT CHOOSE TO TRUST THESE PLAYERS HIS JUDGMENT HAS BEEN PROVED WRONG SO BLAME HIM NOT DENILSON NOT HIS FAULT HES NOT GD ENOUGH
stupid stupid stupid team...we dont have a chance in anything until we strengthen
February 1, 2010 at 12:33 AM
I thought Bendtner and Eboue changed the game for us.
Eboue was actually putting decent crosses in (which Sagna did not provide... not even once, during the game).
Bendter was chasing down lost balls and getting some of them back, unfortunately he just wasn't played into the game well enough.
united play is just too simple and efficient compared to our complicated free flowing beautiful football.
February 1, 2010 at 2:57 AM
I Agree with ratings!
I appreciate the ratings. I don't completely agree, I would rate Song and Arshavin higher. Thanks for posting.
February 1, 2010 at 3:10 AM
I think arsenal came so determined in the second half, but were just unlucky. And man u was lucky with the counter attacks. Rooney showed no skill but run and shoot the ball. Maybe we don't need a skillful striker but a goal hungry striker
February 1, 2010 at 4:17 AM
To see the highlights from the game:
Denilson has no urge or hunger to play, worse because he has no skill or brain at all, he should be killed.
February 1, 2010 at 4:30 AM
Almunia, Clichy and Denilson, FUCK OUT!
Humiliation. Maybe now Gunners fans will lose their arrogance and stop shouting "Hoof" every time an opponent plays a long ball - its schoolboy stuff, because for all your pretty football you will win nothing - again!!
Personally, I think the FA Cup was a more optomistic solution for bringing some silverwear home this season. Obviously the French don't seem to think so. As an Englishman and Arsenal fan, I feel the FA cup is becoming a Coca-Cola cup because the "so called" biggest teams are not taking it seriously.
Simply put. Money = Success in today's football and the PL / CL are too far away from Arsenal when push comes to shove and the best teams are battling for the honours. Who is AW kiding with the team we have? It's "Business" as usuall for Arsenal PLC. Buy cheap, sell big. But then my opinion counts for very little..
I don't think Wenger is ruthless enough with his player selections.
Look at Rafa in Liverpool... same problem, there because of his retarded rotation philosophy.
You have to take a page out of Sir Alex's book, out of Pep Guardiola's book, even out of Ancelotti's book - perform or you don't play. We have depth, you will be buried and never see the field if you don't perform when you have the chance.
Almunia should be our third string keeper by now, he's had his shots.
Clichy and Traore should both be on the selling block. They too have been given ample opportunities and failed to rise to the challenge.
Arshavin, Rosicky, and Nasri should all be benched next game, and kids given their spots as insults.
Do you think, much as I hate him, SAF would tolerate these kind of performances? Why did we get rid of Adebayor if we wanted talented but lackadaisical performers?
Please Mr. Wenger - more ruthlessness. These are professional men, not amateur boys to be coddled. Do the job you are paid to do, or get out of the way for players who will.
Everybody were very very upset in this match but I see differrent ,it 's good to lose in this and next 2 matches to tell the players esp Song , Danilson ,Nasri , Almunia and Wenger that they are not best enough to win the title if they don't know how ability they have,I don't see the players to eager to win enough they always look down the EPL players and always lose them. Fighting spirit and die foe it is need to hold the hope to win the title . Soin the next match ,I think the Arsenal will lose two .
I have more talent in my left testicle than Denilson and Almunia put together
Is Mr Stingy Wenger seeing this post?
What is Almunia, Denilson doing in Arsenal, I seriously believe Campbell would had done better in Goal and in Midfield.
some of the players was not playing good enough but not really so bad, but Denilson was the one who was really bad. Hope Wenger can find out that after this game.

There is something strange going on in football land. We had a transfer market in which nothing much happened.
All the big teams have kept their pockets closed. Chelsea didn’t buy anyone, MU bought Smalling from Fulham but he will stay at Fulham till the end of the season.
We got Sol Campbell back and two young South Americans for the future.
Even Manchester City was remarkably reluctant to spend any more money. Also in the rest of Europe the big clubs didn’t do much business. Real Madrid didn’t go mad this time apart from buying Canales who also stays with his club till the end of the season. Barcelona did nothing and also in Italy there was not that much movement of big names.
In fact the big names that did move all went on loan to another club. Robinho went to Brazil to secure his seat on the plane to South Africa. Closer to home Robby Keane left Tottenham for the 10th time in 3 years out on loan to Celtic this time.
Redknapp and Portsmouth swapped some players like they always do in the transfer period so nothing really that was unexpected. Apart maybe from the fact that Portsmouth looks to have found a few pounds somewhere where they hadn’t looked before.
So after a few transfer periods where the market has gone mad thanks to Real Madrid, Manchester City and Manchester United this time it looks like we have entered a new period in the history of football.
The day when the teams that are looking at the war chest and see….. the bottom.
Is it a coincidence or could it be that clubs are beginning to recognize that the time of losing money and waiting for the owner to put new money in the club is ending? Could it be that the clubs are realizing that if they lose money they not only could face bankruptcy but also risk of being expelled from the Champions League ?
Could it finally have come in to the mind of various owners of clubs that one day the madness had to stop and that now looks a good time to tell managers of clubs and players: first you sell and with that money you can buy. And as there were no buyers and no one sold, no team really had the money to buy.
We didn’t buy anyone much to the annoyance of some so called fans who are calling for the head of Wenger. They come on to blogs or write it themselves and throw names around as if it was confetti in Rio when it is carnival time.
“Wenger should have bought,” and then enter what ever name you wish. The favourite sentence is : Wenger is stubborn as he should have bought Dzeko, Cignac, Chamack, Smalling, Moses and Jezus Christ and as he didn’t do it he should be sacked.
And yes doing a transfer is easy you know, they just bought all those players on their computer in 5 minutes and you know they are winning the league. Do you really need any more prove that Wenger has lost it ?
I really don’t know if this is just to make you laugh or to make you feel sad. How on earth can they think live it self is as simple as on their computer ? Some may say that the current computer game generation will be a lost generation and I really wonder how many of those young man will ever get in to real life ?
Doing a transfer is not arranged by clicking with your mouse to raise the bid or to lower the bid as you want. No, doing transfers is a very difficult thing to do if you want to do it in a responsible way. If you want to do the things like MU, MC and Real do and you want to pay +30M for Berbatov well then it is just the case of going to the bank, ask a loan and you have the player. Is he worth it ? Who cares ?
Well we have a manager who cares. Like he said when you make a transfer you have to see:
1. Is the player better than what you have ?
2. Is the player available ?
3. Will his club let him go for a reasonable price ?
4. Does the player want to come?
5. What does the player want to earn and is this in line with the rest of the team?
These are only a few questions you have to answer before you make any deal and it takes in this case 5 times Yes as the answer or there is no deal.
The first question could be the easiest one: yes I am sure there are players out there that could be better than ours. There are Kaka, Ronaldo who are world class players. No problem in admitting that.
The second question is a problem as most players have long contracts nowadays. So this time, not easy.
The third is very important. Let us take Villa as an example. If Wenger wants to give 20M for him but Valencia only want to speak starting from 40M then you cannot call this reasonable anymore and there is no deal.
The fourth question is also not easy. If he player is unhappy with his team he will want to leave but a player that is playing every game in his team will not want to leave that readily unless he is a fan of our team or he can earn a lot more.
And here we come to the next question and this also is a very tricky one to answer. Arsenal have a policy of not over spending on the players wages but we still have one of the highest wage bills in total of the EPL. So players are getting a good wage in our club but we don’t want to overpay or to overkill. If one player gets 60K than the next wants to equal that ore get even more and before you know it you pay 105K a week for a player like Robby Keane. I read this in the press yesterday but I don’t know if it is true but one has to be mad to pay that much money for him I would say.
The conclusion is that there is no easy transfer dealing these days. Yes I would have liked a new signing at reasonable cost but now it isn’t the case so we just stick to our Guns and support the team and the players. The players coming back from injury should feel like new signings in a few weeks time. Even Robin Van Persie could have a few games if all goes well and this really would be a new signing to me.
Arsenal at the end of the world
Yes Sunday 31 January was the end of the world. We lost a home game against Manchester United with 1 goal against 3. The result made me sleep bad and again I was thinking: what if. And yes it did hurt me deep that defeat and I really didn’t think it was that deserved but I will try to analyze that.
Let’s start with the game. The first half our until Nani missed his cross, I will never believe he did it to score, we had more possession and were rather in control and had some good chances which we didn’t take. I know football is about taking your chances but these things can happen sometimes.
Sometimes the ball flies in from the goal line from an impossible angle and on the other side the ball always hits someone or a shot goes wide as you were sure we would score.
In such a game the first goal is vital and if we would have scored we would have won. Now they did score and for some reason a part of the team panicked and we ran out of position and gave them the second goal on a plate.
If we would have stayed calmer in those first minutes after the first goal we would have come back. But we committed ourselves too much and too early and paid the price.
United could play their favourite game on the counter and a for a few players the two goals in quick concession was a mental blow. They tried but maybe we didn’t believe in ourselves until our goal but then we had, again, made a terrible mistake by letting them score their second on yet another counter.
So yes we paid the price for the fact we ran out of position against one of the best teams in the league. And we lost 3 points. If I should believe some blogs we lost 30 points in this game.
But let us sit back and look at how a season goes sometimes. Last year in March Liverpool went to United and won 1-4. I know how the rivalry is between those two teams and apart from losing to City this is the game they never want to lose. But they did and they were well beaten with an even bigger score line then our defeat.
And what did the MU fans do? They went into hiding, had a bad taste in their mouth, and felt miserable for a few days. But I really don’t think they asked the head of Ferguson or one of their players. No they got behind the team in those difficult days and supported them and let them feel they still believed in them.
They knew that they had lost a battle but the war was still going on and they had only lost 3 points. Nothing more, nothing less. And at the end of the season, just 2 months later they were the champions and the humiliation against Liverpool was a long forgotten memory.
So shit happens sometimes and Sunday was a shit day for us, but if you step in to a dog shit on the street, you swear a bit, and then you have 2 options. Either you clean it up and carry on or you could go and sit in a corner ask for the prime minister to resign as he was clearly incompetent to deal with dog shit in the streets. Once again these things happen sometimes and it is all part of the game and part of being a fan.
The next day on the internet you could see what one could see coming if one understand the way the brains of the D and G brigade works. Of course the D and G brigade was asking for the sacking of everyone involved .
Wenger had to be sacked and all the team had to be sold or even given away to the spuds, the board had to replaced by some craze billionaire who would spent billions of money and buy all the shining superstars of the world at any cost. The only player who didn’t have to be given away was Cesc but according to them he is off to Barcelona anyway now. Pat Rice had to be given the empty (I read the book Making The Arsenal), the ground staff had to go, the ball boys had to go. If we would let the D&G brigade do we wouldn’t have a team to play on Sunday.
We would be like Chelsea in 1905 (sorry I’m on your territory again Tony), who in fact had a Football League club but no players, no officials, no staff, and no support.
When I see those things on the internet I really don’t know what is the worst thing: losing against MU with 1-3 or seeing all those so called fans asking the sacking of everyone involved ?
Yes I usually don’t sleep after a defeat and relive the game over and over again in my head. Yes it saddens me deeply to see our team lose but please keep some perspective on the facts. Like I said last year United had the same with the defeat against Liverpool. Those things happen to everyone at times.
The fixture list is difficult for us for the moment. We have still a fair number of important players out, the ones that have come back after months on the side line are not completely ready to compete at the highest level and we have some players that had to play so many games they are a bit tired.
And don’t forget players like Arshavin who are playing with pain every game but as we are short they play and others had to be prepared to play like Vermaelen. And in that period we have to play 4 top teams in a row. So even if we only get 5 or 6 points from those games then nothing is lost.
The other top teams have to play each other and in those games one or even the two teams will lose points. And then comes our moment. We then have to be ready and take all the points against the lower placed teams. This also will not be easy but WE can help our team, WE can help our players. Instead of asking all the players to be given away to the spuds – no real Arsenal fan can say such a thing I think – we should say: okay, bad day at the office but we are still behind you. Come on you Gunners we support you.
I once wrote some lyrics of what it means to me being a Gooner and somewhere in there I say something about losing a game, a thing that belongs to football like the ball, and I just want to share it with you:
And if defeat hurts us so bad, on a rare and seldom day
We will not desert you, our Gunners in arms.
Oh i have lost the faith. I now no longer believe that Arsenal can win the league this season. Sunday has sent me into a pit of despair so large that I struggle to think of what possible, rational course of action there is left to take…
Oh! I know! Let’s sack the manager, the board, sell all of our players and burn the stadium down in protest at the single greatest injustice Western civilization has ever seen!
Jesus wept! What is this? The annual Geordies’ and Scousers’ whinge at why they deserve to win everything because they’re so special? Frankly, I’m disgusted at commentators such as Christian Alibert (Taxi For Wenger).
So, Arsène’s unfit to live and should be sent to Siberia by close of business tomorrow? Damn right he should – and while we’re at it, let’s get Rafa Benitez in to sort out this mess we’re in. After all, he knows how to spunk money up the walls, which is clearly the answer to all of our problems. £20m is a bargain for a player of Aquilani’s standard. For that matter, what about ‘arry? Alright, he’s got a murky past when it comes to wheeling and dealing, but at least he knows his way around a bunch of used fivers, no questions asked. Oh, and Roberto Mancini! Who can forget his master-stroke at signing Paddy V to a £150,000/week contract when he’s over the hill and injured? Quality stuff. Wenger’s put to shame by purchases such as Vermaelen and Arshavin; they’re simply awful and not fit to wear the shirt – done nothing all season, the pair of them.
The League Cup: that Holy Grail of footballing excellence before which we all prostrate ourselves because we are not worthy. You know, it’s never done anything for the club. Not a jot. In fact, one of the worst matches I ever saw was in the League Cup – Arsenal vs. Rotherham. Not one of those players ever did anything with himself after that. Definitely not that scraggly little lispy Spanish tosser whose name I forget… something like ‘Fabregash’ – anyway, it doesn’t matter ‘cause we haven’t heard of him since, the poxy no-hoper.
And how dare Wenger run the club on a sound financial keel? What does he know? Personally, I’d love to be hundreds of millions in debt with no way of paying it back, just like Utd and the Hoof are. Did you know that Utd may have to sell Old Trafford just to stay afloat? No? Well, it’s a small matter anyway. Let’s just forget small details like that and pray for the day that our saviour, Usmanov the ex-prison bird, comes in to be our sugar-daddy, just like Chelski and City have! God, I truly cannot wait for the day when we are more like Chelsea in every way – including having f**k all future if a certain Russian decides to pull the plug.
As to the players, this is a criticism to respond to seriously. Wenger has always had one major blind spot: goalkeepers. We all know Manuel is not good enough. Full stop. As for the others, well, who can ignore Song’s progress to being one of the best midfielders around? A year or two ago however, I suspect that many of the current critics were calling for him to be shipped out. Denilson has showed some class at times, but in recent matches has fallen off the pace. Why this is we do not know – but perhaps there is behind-the-scenes stuff going on with him. Let us wait and see. Clichy? Well, we’ve got a great replacement for him, but he’s in with the physio for the rest of the season. This is clearly Wenger’s fault! As to not having bought ‘a world-class striker’, well, we do have one; RVP. Sad thing is that he’s been out for virtually the entire season with torn ligaments – but, of course, that’s Wenger’s fault. But we should have bought a £30m striker in January – they’re easy enough to find as a short-term solution. Did anyone else notice the dearth of major signings? Perhaps the old guy is onto something when he says that there’s not much money around at the moment…
Ah, the Cup. I love it. As an Englishman, I am attached to it at the hip. If it were up to me, we’d go for it all guns blazing every season. But it’s not up to me: it’s up to one of the most proven managers in the world who has the club’s best interests at heart. Our club’s best interests at heart. He has turned this club from a good English side into a European powerhouse. So he might have slipped up? He’s human then. Lest we forget, we were 1-1 with 15 mins to go. Had that all turned out ok, no-one would have said a thing.
To all those calling for a taxi for Wenger, shut up, f**k off, and go and support United – after all, they beat us at the weekend, so that means you’ve a better band-wagon to jump onto now.
In God I trust, and I hope you do too.
We lost- it isn’t the end of the world, not even the end of out title hopes.
We beat Chelsea on Sunday and we’re right back in it. Still a long way to go, so need to for panic stations just ye
if we look at the fixture list it reveals a lot. what has already been suggested – Arsenal’s is easier than both Chelsea and United. But the intriguing thing is just how much easier it is. Our well-documented problem this season has been an inability to win in big games. But after Chelsea this weekend and Liverpool at The Emirates on Wednesday just two of the remaining 12 fixtures could be anywhere near considered a big game. They are an away trip to Spurs, a team we haven’t lost in the league to in over a decade and a home game against City. In contrast Chelsea face two teams that have already beaten them this season in Aston Villa and Manchester City at home and away trips to Everton, Spurs, Liverpool and crucially, United. Meanwhile United still have to play Villa, Everton and City away as well as three big games at Old Trafford against pool, Chelsea and Spurs. On paper it is a huge contrast. It’s unfathomable to think that points won’t be dropped. While we clearly we have our problems there’s also lot to be positive about. if we come away from the Chelsea and Liverpool games within five or six points of the top of the table then we remain a good chance to win the league and I absolutely stick by that. Our fixture list is favourable, our strikers are on the comeback and the current problems within the team can certainly be addressed by the players Wenger has at his disposal.
was prompted to write this following the extraordinary convulsions in the Arsenal blogosphere after the defeat to Manchester United.
Chicken Licken bloggers, one of whom claimed they could manage Arsenal better than Arsene, renewed their calls for Denilson’s head, Arsene’s head, anyone’s head. (Unwise bloggers might be encouraged to read this.) It seemed so out of kilter with reality that I thought that there had to be some kind of diagnosis of a collective mentality, shared by the football media in England and the ‘doom and gloom’ Arsenal bloggers, that made them react in such a way. These are my diagnoses.
The Foreign Agenda. Arsene’s French nationality is a constant point of reference, the implication being that Arsenal is now a ‘French club’. (One blog stated that Smalling had chosen United over Arsenal ‘because he wanted to speak English in the dressing room.’) From the old references to ‘discipline’, or rather lack of it (all those red cards, symptoms of a suspect temperament) to the current accusation that Arsenal lack an ‘English spine’, fighting spirit, or physicality, Arsène’s Arsenal fall foul of a particular kind of xenophobia, in both the football media and among our own fan-base.
What is unspoken is that Arsenal’s global scouting network is a necessary and far-sighted (and now much-imitated) policy that enables the club to compete, by attracting young footballing talent from a global pool: nationality is secondary to technique, temperament, ability, and athleticism. Arsenal are a post-national club, a difficult thing in a post-Imperial country.
The Logic of ‘Success’. We often read that Arsenal haven’t won anything for 5 years (and counting). The Chicken Licken mantra: ‘We must buy. The kids aren’t good enough. The club isn’t successful. The ‘youth experiment’ has failed.’
As Untold Arsenal has been exploring, finances in English football mean that we have to re-think what we understand by footballing ‘success’. What is success, and how do we measure it? In wins, in trophies, in superstars bought for multi-millions? Or, in building a stable, properly-financed, sensibly run club, which produces and develops its own players, that plays an entertaining and winning style of football, and that will continue as an institution not for 5 or 10 years but for 100?
The Blame Game. ‘Something is wrong with the club.’ ‘Wenger’s lost the plot.’ ‘He’s too stubborn.’ This line of thinking sees defeat not as a necessary component of sporting competition (think of what it would be like to ‘support’ the Harlem Globetrotters), but as a manifestation of some kind of lack on the part of the manager, or some kind of terminal decline in his thinking.
When Arsenal are beaten, the assumption is not that the other team played better football on the day, but that Arsenal would beat all others handsomely if it were not for the selection, motivational and tactical deficiencies of Arsene Wenger himself. The Arse-blogosphere looks for someone to blame for disappointment, and lays it all at the door of ’Big Daddy’ (see below). The blame game is clearly linked to raised expectations created by the 1998, 2002 and especially 2004 teams, but is also tainted by ‘declinism’, a belief that the past was a better place, which is very much an English cultural malaise.
The Instant. The Arse-blogosphere is reactive, and places instantaneous reaction above reflection and thought. It also places instant digestion above slow rumination. The Chicken Licken blogs are symptoms of our ‘live’, ‘24/7’, instant access and instant comment digital culture. The culture of instantaneousness means that Arsenal are not allowed to lose, because there is no longer view of things, and a defeat means the end of the world.
As the food critic Anton Ego says in Ratatouille, ‘After reading a lot of overheated puffery … you know what I’m craving? A little perspective. That’s it. I’d like some fresh, clear, well seasoned perspective. Can you suggest a good wine to go with that?’
A Sense of Entitlement. ‘We deserve better.’ Chicken Licken Arsenal bloggers and fans believe that somehow they are entitled to watch not only high-quality entertaining football, but all-conquering football. This has been reinforced by the success of Arsène’s Arsenal itself. No-one who watched Terry Neill’s Arsenal, or George Graham’s, can honestly inhabit that sense of entitlement. This sense, not that we are privileged to watch the kind of foot ball seen at the Emirates, but that we ‘deserve’ to do so, is also connected with consumerism.
The Dominance of Consumerism. It’s no great news that the contract between fan and club has changed since the advent of the Premier League, and the post-Hillsborough construction of a middle-class fan-base for top-level football. In treating the fan as a customer, however, our club has helped produce a consumption-oriented fan mentality that now manifests itself on the Arse-blogosphere. A recurrent complaint is: ‘I pay £XXXX for my season ticket, so I expect to see XXXX.’
Chicken Licken bloggers now relate to the experience of watching football as they would to a movie: they want a guaranteed level of entertainment or success, and if they don’t get it, they complain loudly. Of course, the experience of watching a live football match is not the repeatable, guaranteed experience of watching a movie: sometimes a team plays badly, sometimes they lose. Arsenal don’t lose very much, but when defeat comes…
A Culture of Complaint. In 1993, the art critic Robert Hughes published a book called The Culture of Complaint. In it, Hughes argued that ‘we create an infantilized culture of complaint, in which Big Daddy is always to blame and the expansion of rights goes on without the other half of citizenship – attachment to duties and obligations…
The emphasis is on the subjective: how we feel about things, rather than what we think’. Rather than a democratic expression of fan voices, the Arse-blogosphere is largely characterised by this mode of complaint, the football-consumer rejecting the long-term ‘duties and obligations’ of supporting their club in favour of short-term gratification, and instant expressions of blame.
The Importance of Ideology. This underpins everything. The foundational motive for the bias against Arsène Wenger’s Arsenal is economics. Arsène Wenger has been pursuing an economic policy which runs diametrically against the prevailing ideological orthodoxy of ‘Football 2.0’: that financial irresponsibility (spending on transfer fees and wages at a level that cannot be sustained by the club’s business model) is the only path to success (see above).
This model is of course the same one that Brownian economic policy has pursued since 1997, the inflation of a financial bubble founded on unsustainable levels of debt, that is now also falling to pieces. Wenger’s foresight is actually astounding, if only the football media and the Chicken Licken Arse-blogosphere could understand it, or perhaps stand to look at it.
Wenger’s Arsenal offer a different model of financial responsibility and footballing excellence that rejects ‘borrow and spend’ irresponsibility. When the sky does indeed fall (as Untold Arsenal has demonstrated that it shall – the first drops of a hard rain are falling even now) then Arsenal will be one of the best-prepared clubs to succeed – by whatever measure – in England, and in Europe.

en | N/A | N/A | With a range of housekeeping services offering affordable yet quality cleaning services, homeowners are often spoilt for choice. Doing your homework before hiring a new maid service is sure to pay off in time. To begin with, enquire about the company's screening procedures and background checks prior to hiring employees. References from past clients can also be useful, since personal recommendations always carry more worth than company claims. This helps ascertain if the maids are trustworthy and efficient, something that may be difficult to recognize with private helpers. Aside from employing only verified staff, most specialist services are also bonded, which helps protect your interests in the unlikely event that the maid proves to be less than honest.
Most housekeeping agencies also have specific quality assurance policies in place, and asking about service guarantees ahead is important. This way the actual expectations in terms of chores covered in each package is decided beforehand. In addition to checking reliability and quality levels, be sure to ask if the maid agency is insured since this covers any occupational hazards the maid may face when cleaning your home. A well-covered worker's compensation plan is an absolute must, and most professional cleaning companies offer this protection to potential clients.
While getting quotes and estimates for various cleaning packages makes sense, it is also important to understand the exact nature of work you are paying for. A maid service that provides all cleaning agents and equipment for the service may cost significantly more than one wherein you have to provide all materials. For instance, professional upholstery cleaning or even duct cleaning are specialized jobs that require skilled labor as also state-of-the-art cleaning paraphernalia and solutions not found in a typical home. However, this is rarely an issue since maids employed by most professional services will bring their own supplies and cleaning kits.
In addition to providing the materials, it makes sense to ask the company about the actual cleaning products used. While using only natural products is not always possible, the agency must be able to take any special needs into account such as allergies or other issues with respect to odor and residue. After all, the primary concern behind hiring maids is to ensure a clean and healthy home so using safe and effective cleaning agents is vital.
In the end , picking skilled maids translates to fresh and spotless interiors minus the hassle of daily cleaning chores. Be sure to do your research to ensure that the service delivers quality results minus a hefty price tag. |

The way businesses work is changing, and WeWork is helping steer the shift.
Take a moment to imagine what a normal day of work looks like. You can’t anymore, can you?
Over the past decade, the way that people work have begun to change. When companies used to work in silos, obsessively guarding their secrets from everyone, now there is an openness to collaborate. When employees only used to interact with their colleagues (save for a few external facing ones), now people are beginning to work with others outside of the companies they are in.
Better technology have made a myriad of things borderless and, yes, that includes work processes. What the world is experiencing now is a shift in the way businesses work, brought about by technology, innovation, and the continuously changing workforce.
And it is this shift that WeWork has had a hand in.
A platform for creators of all sizes
It sounds pretty simple and straightforward but digging deeper into it would illuminate how WeWork has steadily innovated alongside the changing workforce. According to Turochas “T” Fuad, WeWork’s Managing Director for Southeast Asia, “WeWork is platform for creators. We give them space, community, and services. Not only just a physical space but also virtual services. Our technology allows them to collaborate and find one another through our platform.”
Also read: Here’s everything you need to know about WeWork’s aggressive expansion plans in Southeast Asia
With over 248,000 members worldwide, being a part of WeWork’s community means having access to that massive global network through their online platform that allows each member to find and collaborate with each other.
As an illustration, this means that a small company who needs assistance from a digital marketing expert could simply post the need on the platform and people from all WeWork locations can answer it.
“It will address all those needs that our members do have. So it’s not just someone sitting two feet across from you but someone potentially sitting miles and miles away from you,” Fuad said.
A necessity to shift
This concept of collaborative workspaces, while largely stemming from freelancers and startup communities, has bled into traditional businesses and enterprises. Largely out of necessity, if you look at where the workforce is heading.
Millennials, who in the next few years will be making up over 50 per cent of the workforce, is leading this shift; they are not just looking for a job. They are looking for friends, for excitement, for variety, and for something that creates an impact. If enterprises want to attract, hire, and retain them, they would have to adopt some of the practices that young companies have now.
According to Fuad, enterprises need “to be a lot more collaborative and to really have a sense of community that directly links to greater innovation in terms of what they do today.”
Which is why WeWork is now starting to look into enterprises. They offer enterprises the basic services of space, customisation of said space, longer term leases, and the flexibility to grow or shrink in size as they need to.
They have also started to offer a new product to enterprises that allows them to have the WeWork experience in their own office, as some companies do own their space and just cannot move out.
“We bring WeWork to them,” Fuad said. “We would go to the real estate or space that is owned by the enterprise, we design, we build, we operate, and programme the particular location for them.”
With hundreds of in-house employees dedicated to architecture, structure, and design, WeWork has built a scalable process and model that allows them to build much faster at least cost, but without sacrificing the quality that they care about.
Of course, this includes giving employees of these enterprises access to WeWork’s global community, once again stressing the importance of collaborating with different people no matter what size company you are.
“It is important. It is the way of the future. It is moving from a “me” sort of lifestyle to more of a “be”, having multiple and different stages in life in terms of career coming together to really just build a bigger platform.”
This expansion to serving large enterprises is a natural progression from the WeWork’s beginnings. When the company started in New York in 2010, they initially served a group of freelancer who don’t have a workspace.
“Usually you find them at Starbucks or at their homes – working in silos, not really collaborating or meeting people of the same mindset or vision. We provide them with space for the very basic things. All the amenities for all these people to collaborate and really just sit together in same location,” Fuad said.
From there, WeWork has expanded to include companies of different sizes – the same kind of companies that freelancers support – to give their members more opportunities to mingle, find work opportunities, and tap skills and projects that they need.
Connecting the dots, Fuad called it. But at the same time, by allowing these different people to collaborate, a macro shift in the way they work is happening. The young ones are introducing new technology to the large enterprises, while the enterprises bring with them the experience and credibility that time and success has given them.
“It’s a good blend,” Fuad said. “ It allows large companies to be nimble and to be inspired by how small companies work. It allows the freelancers and small companies to really be motivated to one day be as big as these enterprises.”
Localities and locations
Though one may think that all WeWork locations are of the same mold, but they are not. WeWork locations, while designed to have the same look and feel, are built to blend to the local feel. They take into account the colours and the look of the neighborhood and they replicate it to have continuity from the neighborhood to their space. No two WeWork locations look alike, yet all have that distinct flavour and feel of a WeWork community.
And location is important to WeWork. “We do believe that in the future of work, life is important -where you eat, where you hangout, where you sort of have drinks after work, where you go to the gym, how you get from one place to another – those are very important elements to what we chose as location,” Fuad said.
Looking at WeWork locations, they are all mostly in key areas of the city where members have access to food, convenient transportation, as well as easily meet potential partners and clients.

For example, in Singapore, their location in 71 Robinson Road is set to officially open. This is to be followed by 22 Cross Street and 60 Anson Road, which are all core locations in the central part of Singapore.
Currently, WeWork has over 253 locations ins 74 cities across 22 countries and those numbers are growing.
“A lot of companies are definitely seeing that the collaborative and innovative space is really helping them improve the morale of their workforce, allowing their employees to work with and be inspired by different companies,” Fuad said.
At the core of it, WeWork is more than just a physical space. While that is important, in the end it is really the global community that they have created that companies should note.
“We found out that 70 per cent of our members collaborate with each other across these international locations, which is a very high number, Fuad said. “It shows us that these people really collaborate with one another and not just enjoying the spaces that we provide and not just innovating new things but really coming together and forming communities.”
The days of working in silos are being replaced with a new a normal, and it looks a lot like WeWork’s community.

en | N/A | N/A | Già nel 1950, in collaborazione con Raul Usandivaras e Juan Morgan, inizia la prima esperienza terapeutica in gruppo istituzionale di pazienti psicotici cronici. Resnik vive le vicissitudini della cultura della Buenos Aires dell'epoca. Legato allo scrittore Jorge Luis Borges e ad Aldo Pellegrini (critico d'arte), medico anch'egli e noto critico d'arte moderna, vive il milieu che lo stimola a interessarsi alle scienze umane, all'arte e alla letteratura.
Dal 1957 vive in Europa, prima a Parigi per un anno, dove studia con Roger Bastide, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Maurice Merleau-Ponty e Georges Gurvitch. Continua le sue ricerche sulla schizofrenia nell'Ospedale Saint-Anne e nel servizio di ammissione di Georges Daumezon. Nel 1958 prende contatto con François Tosquelles, Jean Oury e Roger Gentis, promotori della psicoterapia istituzionale che giocherà un ruolo importante nello sviluppo dell'applicazione della psicoanalisi al sociale. Alla fine del 1958 realizza il suo sogno di trasferirsi a Londra e assiste ai seminari della Klein, di Wilfred Bion e altri.
Si fa analizzare da Herbert Rosenfeld per oltre dieci anni. Con l'appoggio di Morris Carstairs (che esercita a Londra e a Edimburgo) e di Donald Winnicott, lavora nel "Netherne Hospital", ospedale psichiatrico nel Surrey con l'incarico di occuparsi di una comunità terapeutica di giovani psicotici. Nel 1959 collabora con il "Cassel Hospital" a Richmond con Thomas Forrest Main, creatore del termine "Comunità terapeutica". Collabora anche con Maxwell Jones all'"Henderson Hospital" di Belmont e con Siegfried Heinrich Foulkes a Londra. Lavora in una "Child Guidance Clinique" a Guildford e approfondisce i suoi studi sugli stati precoci della vita del bambino con Melanie Klein ed Esther Bick.
Nel campo psichiatrico-psicoanalitico collabora alla formazione di psicoterapeuti per bambini e per adulti presso un'associazione fondata a Venezia, ilonalità (CISPP diretto da Enrico Levis). Ai corsi partecipano filosofi ed esponenti della cultura come Aldo Gargani, Renzo Mulato, Alberto Panza, Edmundo Gomez Mango, Pietro Bria, Giuseppe Maffei, Simona Nissim, Isabella Schiappadori, Maria Pagliarani, Luigi Boccanegra. Resnik contribuisce anche alla fondazione dell'ASVEGRA, Associazione Veneta per la Ricerca e la Formazione in Psicoterapia di Gruppo e Analisi istituzionale..
Contribuisce inoltre, con Gaetano Benedetti e Giorgio Ferlini alla nascita della scuola di specializzazione in psicoterapia Fenomenologica-Psicoanalitica "ARETUSA" di Padova.
Molti sono stati i riconoscimenti per i suoi studi e le sue ricerche, tra i più graditi, per lui che veneziano si è sempre sentito, è stata la cittadinanza onoraria conferitagli dal sindaco di Venezia al compimento degli ottanta anni, poi la laurea honoris causa in "scienze filosofiche" conferitagli dall'Università degli studi della Calabria il 19 ottobre 2012 e il premio alla cultura della città di Cosenza "Telesio d'argento" per l'anno 2012.
Fino alla sua morte, avvenuta il 16 febbraio 2017, è vissuto e ha lavorato a Parigi, e mensilmente ha tenuto regolarmente seminari e gruppi a Venezia e continuando a occuparsi di formazione presso il CISPP. Recentemente ha collaborato alla formazione di colleghi in Ucraina, promuovendo lo scambio culturale tra psichiatri e psicoanalisti locali e italiani.

Credit Score – It is basic knowledge that borrowers who have a credit score at the prime level get lower interest rates while borrowers who have a score that falls below that line get higher interest rate.
Type of Car – If you are buyinew car loans. No car buyer would not want a low interest rate for his or her auto loan. Indeed, buying a car is expensive and if one would take a loan to make the car purchase, it is going to be more expensive.
People can get an auto loan from various sources such as, banks, credit unions, car dealerships and online loan companies. To find the best auto loan rates, borrowers should look at these sources considering that the best auto loan rate can be found anywhere among the sources. When looking for the best loan offer, borrowers should keep in mind the budget they have set beforehand and to stay with it no matter what. Otherwise, they are putting themselves in danger of defaulting the loan or worse, bankruptcy. Lastly, the geographic location is also considered as a factor which determines the auto loan interest rate. The lowest rate offered in one part of the country may not be the lowest rate offered in another, and this is a good reason for borrowers to check out deals outside their local dealerships.
For the financial newbies out there, a "loan amortization" is simply a breakdown of any loan's payments and balances over the life of the loan. The first worksheet in the spreadsheet file contains the instructions, but a few items ought to be covered here, too. As noted above, the first worksheet in the file is the INTRO page, with instructions and such.

When studying car loan quotes look at the APR or the annual percentage rate and not the interest rate which is charged on every monthly payment. To find out what your credit score is, rThe APR is the interest rate charged annually and this gives you a better picture of how costly or money-saving a loan offer is. If you opt to payoff your car loan in a short loan term, your monthly payments will be compressed in fewer months so they will appear bigger.
YMoreover, as you make some calculations, pay attention to the total loan amount paid at the end of the term.
This amount tells you how much you will be spending on the loan all in all at the end of the loan term. On the other hand, if you choose to repay a loan in a long term, the monthly payments will appear smaller because they are distributed to more months.

en | N/A | N/A | Zymere’s tiny body, dressed in a white suit and bow tie, lay in an open white satin-lined ivory casket with a white veil over the open top half.
A white teddy bear, holding a red cushion heart, was propped by the boy’s head and three massive floral arrangements surrounded the altar below the casket.
His mother, Geraldine Perkins, 26, asserted her innocence in a jailhouse interview on Rikers Island, where she’s being held for endangering the welfare of a child.
Mourners attend a funeral service for Zymere Perkins in Brooklyn.
She wasn’t missed by the more than 200 mourners who packed into the pews at the Church of the Open Door in Fort Greene.
A family friend exploded with emotion at the sight of the child.
The little boy died Sept. 26 after his mother rushed him to a hospital — but not soon enough to save Zymere, who was allegedly beaten with a wooden broomstick by Geraldine Perkins’ boyfriend.
The musclebound Rysheim Smith, 42, remains jailed at the Manhattan Detention Center for the fatal beating.
Perkins has already blamed Smith for the boy’s death, admitting that she watched the vicious attack without intervening to protect her son.
More than $9,000 was raised by cops, the victims compensation board and the nonprofit Safe Horizons to help pay for the funeral.
Mourners leave a funeral service for Zymere Perkins at the Church of the Open Door on Gold Street in Brooklyn on Friday, October 7, 2016.
The Rev. Mark Taylor, who gave the eulogy, said the family had once brought the boy to the church and asked him to pray for Zymere.
“I put my hands on him and he squirmed. I didn’t know anything was wrong. I wonder if I could have done more,” Rev. Taylor said.

One of the main principles of the law regarding finances following a relationship breakdown is that any ongoing financial ties between the parties should be severed. This allows both people to move on with their lives and start afresh. Often, it will be difficult to achieve, for example if one parentcannot work full time, or where an immediate distribution of the money available will simply not lead to a fair result.
However, the Supreme Court in Birch v Birch recently had to grapple with the problem where a final decision had been reached to end those ties and one person later sought to change this. The wife had given an undertaking, which is a solemn promise to the court, to release the husband from his obligations under the joint mortgage and, more importantly, to sell the house if she had not managed to do so by a particular date. Exactly the same effect could have been achieved by an order of the court rather than a promise by the wife. As the date approached, the wife applied for permission to delay the sale by another seven years.
Deferred orders or agreements regarding the sale of property are common. This is particularly so when children are very settled in the family home or are perhaps reaching important milestones at school and need to remain in the local area. Often there will not be enough money to buy two new houses, at least in the short term. It may also not be possible to release a party, who may be renting another place to live, from the joint mortgage on a family home. The Supreme Court decision in Birch v Birch may therefore cause some concern for those considering such an agreement since the date envisaged for a sale may later be postponed further. The case also refers to the practical consequences of remaining on a mortgage whilst living elsewhere – not only does non-payment impact credit ratings, but an existing mortgage will generally mean a lower borrowing capacity to fund the purchase of a new home.
In Birch v Birch the lower courts dismissed the wife’s application, holding that the court had no power to vary an undertaking for the sale of property. The Supreme Court stated that, although an undertaking cannot be varied as such, the court can release the person from his or her promise and would perhaps only do so by accepting an alternative promise in its place. Where the undertaking could easily have been substituted by an order of the court for a sale of the house, the principles applicable to any changes to the final decision ought be the same. It was decided that the court does have the power to vary an order for sale and the wife argue her case.
However, the Supreme Court emphasised the important difference between the court considering an application and deciding that the variation of an order for sale is appropriate. |

en | N/A | N/A | Behavior-finding problems are a new class of problems that search for solutions whose behavior (as the result from the interaction of its form with an environment) verifies a set of restrictions. Consequently, the fitness of a solution is evaluated as how it behaves in a concrete environment, in contrast with the traditional form-finding problems, where solutions are evaluated according directly to their shape.
We have proposed and tested evolutionary developmental models, inspired in natural evolution and the developmental process and regulation of organisms, to solve behavior-finding problems. The results demonstrate the benefits of the models compared to traditional direct encoding approaches, such as high diversity, regularity, organicity, generalization, and modularity; properties that are highly valuable in an engineering context.
In the following sections, we present two evolutionary developmental models that have been tested in finding structures that can land properly or that can follow a predetermined path.
Landing of tensegrity structures
We describe in this section the first evolutionary developmental model proposed, which has been tested to solve the problem as to how a vehicle, configured as a mass-spring network, might land properly when falling from a given height.
The evolutionary model is based in an indirect developmental encoding with a grammatical nature. An individual represent a structure encoded as a graph and it develops according to the information contained in its genome, by regulated rewriting of an initial graph under the control of a regulated graph grammar. The following diagrams show the rules implemented in the model and an example of the development of an individual.
Production system of the regulated graph grammar. Every rule represent a developmental action that cells can perform during development (left) and how the rest of their expression domain is distributed among the new cells (right).
Derivation steps of the development of an example organism. Edges express the first gene in their expression domain (blue), applying the corresponding grammar rule and distributing the rest of the domain among their new edges.
In this way, every edge of the graph represents a cell of the individual and includes the genetic and physical cellular information. Accordingly, the nodes of the graph constitute the adhesion points of neighboring cells. The following diagram represents a developing individual and the information stored in every cell.
Diagram of a developing multicellular individual, representing the genetic and physical cellular information.
Edges have been modeled as damped springs, while nodes are free movable joints. In this way, a physical simulator has been implemented (freely downloadable here) to test the behavior of the evolved spring networks during the landing test. Hence, the fitness of an individual in the evolutionary algorithm represents how well it managed landing, by minimizing the distance traveled during the landing and impact force (jerk).
Additionally, the proposed model has been compared with a traditional direct encoding scheme. The following figure compares the performance of both encodings, showing the average fitness curves over 50 runs. In both cases, it is observed a quick fitness improvement in the first 100 generations, followed by a gradual refinement as the evolution progresses.
Average best, mean, and worst fitness for each generation of 50 evolutionary runs using direct encoding (left) and indirect encoding (right). Both encoding strategies can find good solutions to the landing problem.
The best tensegrity structures evolved in six different evolutionary runs with the direct encoding method are represented below. The edges of the structures are colored according to its internal tensile state, being red edges compressed and blue edges stretched. They are characterized by its irregular shapeless organization and lack of modularity.

In clear contrast, the proposed method based on graph grammars generates structures that follow patterns and regularities due to their rewriting nature. Diverse examples are presented in the following figure, which shows the phylogeny of evolved tensegrity structures using indirect encoding. Each row represents a selection of evolutionary steps of the best evolved tensegrity structures in five different evolutionary runs, ordered from the first generation (left) to the last generation (right).
Phylogeny of evolved tensegrity structures in five different runs using the proposed indirect encoding. Each row shows a selection of representative milestones in the evolution of the structure. Regularly and symmetry can be already found in some early structures, and evolution proceeds by modifying, adding, or substituting modules.
The ontogeny of the best tensegrity structures found is shown in the following figure. A zygote is made of a single edge of one unit length. Here, the complexity of the structures increases monotonically through development, as it generally does along natural evolution.
Ontogeny of evolved tensegrity structures using the proposed indirect encoding. Each row corresponds to a representative selection of snapshots during the developmental process of the structure. Triangular and square pyramids, bipyramids, and bilateral and rotational symmetries are formed during the developmental process.
In the previous two figures, it can be observed the formation of triangular and square pyramids, bipyramids, and bilateral and rotational symmetries. Additionally, grammar productions are regulated by a string that is copied and transmitted during the edge duplication rules, analogously to the mechanisms of copy and transmission of the genome during the division of biological cells. This process causes the reuse of genetic information (during both, evolution and development), what allows the repetition of modules in the structures.
The landing test performance of the best structures evolved with both encodings is drawn in the following diagrams, including their initial position after development and final position after landing. It can be observed that the structure obtained with direct encoding (left) adopts the form of an irregular tensegrity, which helps in the impact absorption (see movie below). Similarly, the structure evolved with indirect encoding (right) develops tensegrities with some differences, since they show a regular geometry, are organized modularly, and are strategically distributed in the organism.
Direct encoding Indirect encoding
Best evolved tensegrity structures during the landing test using the direct encoding (left) and indirect encoding (right). The distance traveled is represented with a grey line. The trajectory of the center of mass is also included, along with the jerk values (colored circles).
The following movies show the landing test performed by a random structure and the best tensegrity structures evolved with the direct and indirect encodings.
Landing test performed by a random structure. It can be observed how a random design cannot absorb the impact, resulting in a behavior characterized by several bounces and a long displacement distance.

The presented results demonstrate that both encoding strategies can find good solutions to the form-finding problem. The difference is more on their particular way to prospect candidate forms, mainly derived from the search-space that each type of encoding defines. As a result, we have shown that the use of an indirect encoding facilitates the emergence of qualitative biological properties in the solutions, including regularity, organicity, generalization capacity, modularity, and manufacturability.
In conclusion, we have presented an effective and novel method for the general indirect encoding of structures, particularly the tensegrity structures, which have demonstrated their usefulness in evolutionary design towards a desired behavior. The results obtained qualitatively differ from those generated under a direct encoding scheme. These differences resemble properties found in biological organisms and emerge as a result of the developmental mechanism introduced in the evolution of the structures. The results demonstrate that these biological properties, especially those regarding modularity, symmetry, and manufacturability, are particularly valuable in engineering in the new class of behavior-finding problems, such as the design of tensegrity vehicles and robots that behave well in a defined problem.
The second evolutionary developmental model proposed is described in this section. It has been tested in the behavior-finding problem of path-following. The evolutionary developmental simulator written for this project can be freely downloaded from here .The developmental model proposed to encode the path-following organisms is divided in three levels. First, an Artificial Genome, made up of a sequence of digits (bases), encodes a regulatory network. The function of this regulatory network is equivalent to a Boolean network. Hence, an organism in the model is represented by a geometrical graph, which grows during the organism development according to a graph grammar regulated by the Boolean network encoded in the organism's genome. The following diagram represents the proposed morphogenetic model.
Morphogenetic model consisting on a derivation of a graph grammar regulated by a Boolean network encoded in a sequential genome.
In this way, a derivation in the grammar represents the morphogenesis of an organism, as shown in the following figure.
Example of morphogenesis of an organism regulated by the genome presented in the previous figure. The first graph to the left is the zygote. Each edge has been labeled with its expression state.
After development has completed, an organism is physically simulated in a flat world where they have to follow a path and go as far as possible in a constant time. The path difficulty (the sharpness of the bends) has been parameterized, resulting in a set of possible paths according to its difficulty, as shown below.
Difficulty of the path as given by the value of a parameter.
Similarly to the previous model, edges have been modeled as damped springs and nodes are free movable joints. Yet, in addition to normal edges, organism cells can differentiate into motor cells, which push forward in a continuous way, and sensor cells, which transduce the physical world information to the organism by increasing their size according to the amount of edge falling outside the path. In the following diagrams, motor edges are represented in red, cyan edges are sensors (with white bands to better compare relative lengths), and structural edges (regular springs) are the green ones.
In spite of the simple building blocks available for the organisms, 4 clearly different steering behaviors have evolved. Next, we present a representative organism for each resulting behavior, including their epigenetic and ontogenetic history, and their characteristic behavior.
Behavior A: emergence of bilateral sensors
The simplest path-follower we can think of would include sensors in both sides to correct the direction and a motor in between. The following figure shows the evolution, trajectory, lineage and development of an organism that shows this behavior. Note that, in order to avoid overspecialization of the organisms, a path is tested twice, such that in the second simulation it is flipped along the horizontal axis.
Evolved behavior A: bilateral sensors. (a) Best and mean fitness of the population in each generation during the evolution. (b) Paths and trajectories described by the best evolved organism. (c) Lineage of the best evolved organism. (d) Morphogenesis of the best evolved organism.
The following animation shows the steering behavior of the organism. When the organism is on the path (in gray), the forces of its two motor edges are compensated, resulting in a straight movement. When one of the sides exits the path, the sensor becomes longer, transmitting a positional change to the motor edges. This corrects the direction of movement, pointing now to the interior of the path.
Steering behavior of the organism with bilateral sensors. The path is the area in gray. It can be seen how the elongation of the sensor that exits the path steers the pair of motor edges towards the path, correcting the direction and bringing the organism back to the path.
Behavior B: emergence of turning by friction
This is an interesting behavior that exploits a completely different aspect of the physics. The morphology of the organism integrates a more sophisticated sensory system: 8 sensor edges and a single central motor edge. This configuration exploits the friction forces that the nodes bear, allowing a smooth steering over the edges of the path. The following figure shows an evolved organism with this behavior.
Evolved behavior B: turn by friction.
The animation below shows the behavior of this organism. It moves straightforward while inside the path; but, when the organism starts exiting the path, the external skeleton of structural edges forces the sensors to reconfigure internally and the symmetry breaks down due to the elongation of some sensors. In the asymmetrical configuration, more nodes concentrates in the side opposite to the exiting border, producing a higher overall friction on that side that generates a bent movement towards the path.
Steering behavior of the organism that turns by friction. As some sensors exit the path, their change in length pushes some nodes towards the path. This shifts the forces of friction in a way that corrects the direction of the organism, recovering its original configuration when it travels again over the path.
Behavior C: emergent spinning
Contrary to what could be expected, the second behavior preferred by evolution had to do with spinning organisms. A combination of sensor and motor edges arranged in a sort of quadrilateral pattern favors a rotational movement. Additionally, when a path border is transgressed, the organism adopts a slightly different dynamical configuration; the sensors elongate cyclically during the rotation, which causes the organism to follow the edge of the path, keeping its centroid inside most of the time. The following diagrams show an organism that has implemented this behavior.
Evolved behavior C: emergent spinning.
The following movie presents the behavior of this organism. In this case, the organism spins counterclockwise, but clockwise spinning is also common in other experiments. The slight asymmetry of the organism causes the initial displacement towards the path border. Then, the rotation over the border makes the motor edges to change cyclically their angles due to the repetitive elongations of the sensor edges, allowing the organism to steer following the path border.
Steering behavior of the organism that spins. Differently from other strategies, this one attaches the organism to one border of the path, changing the angles of the external motor edges with respect to the central motor edge. This provides the organism with a net movement that tracks the border of the path.
Behavior D: emergent rectification
Finally, some organisms revealed a much more elaborate behavior. Remarkably, this behavior emerged with the simplest possible sensory system: one sensor edge. An organism with such a behavior is showed in the following diagrams. Notice that the evolution stopped after reaching the maximum number of generations (a); at that point, the best evolved organism had a fitness of 0.5. Though, given enough simulation time, the organism managed to complete the path (b).
Evolved behavior D: rectification.
The following animation shows in detail the rectification behavior. While the organism is inside of the path, and as a result of balanced motor actions, all the edges get arranged in a single line, and the organism follows a straightforward movement. When the sensor exits the path, its elongation breaks the previous configuration, initiating a long sequence of actions (the rectification) which force the organism to go backwards, return to the path, and start another trajectory, shifted some degrees with respect to the original one.
Steering behavior of the organism that rectifies its trajectory. The organism moves straightforward while inside the path; but, when it exits the path, the sensor elongates and provokes an unstable equilibrium, since a pair of motors moves forward. This equilibrium breaks at some point and forces the organism to return, since the pair of motors now points backwards. Back in the path, the initial configuration is restored, keeping the organism trailing the path again.
Behaviors described above were obtained under particular settings. Additionally, in order to test the robustness of their behaviors, they have been simulated for a range of path difficulties and friction parameters. The following figures represent the results of this study. The results reveal that the more complex behavior is also the most robust to changes in the curvature of the path: behavior D performs well in any path. In the case of different friction constant, the performance degrades in all cases as it gets more slippery.
Generalization of the evolved behaviors in different environments. The path difficulty (left) and friction of the medium (right) are varied separately to test the robustness of each organism to changes in the environment where it has evolved. This study reveals that the more complex behavior (D) is also the most robust to changes in the curvature of the path. However, the performance degrades in all cases as it gets more slippery, since motor edges propel the organism too fast.
The following animation shows how behavior D deals successfully with the path of maximum difficulty, demonstrating the generalization capacity of its evolved behavior.
Steering behavior of the organism that rectifies the trajectory (behavior D) in the case of maximum difficulty of the path.
Additionally, some behaviors have the capacity of reentering the path, as it is illustrated in the following diagram. The snapshots illustrates how the organism with behavior B follows a straight trajectory when outside the path, with the sensory system arranged in a star-like configuration; as some sensors enter the path, their change in length pushes some nodes towards the path, changing friction forces and correcting the direction of the organism.
Capacity of behavior B to reenter the path after quitting it. The organism changes from a straight trajectory to a curve towards the path as some sensors reenter the path.
We have defined and studied a model that integrates a considerable amount of biological features: (1) an encoding method based on sequence genotypes; (2) gene regulation by Boolean networks; (3) multicellular development through a fixed set of simple structural genes; (4) cell differentiation; and (5) evolution of morphologies and locomotive behaviors in a particular environment. Despite the simple and fixed set of structural genes implemented, a rich variety of body plans have evolved, providing the organisms with appropriate steering strategies. Furthermore, the evolved organisms presented a rich variety of behaviors, concluding that the developmental model presented in this work has been shown to be adequate for the class of behavior-finding problems.Finally, a remarkable result is how such a biological model obtains very simple structures that show a very complex behavior. This quite striking diversity of forms and behavioral strategies is connected to the diversity of forms and features found on earth, suggesting that such morphological richness should not be considered a surprising fact, but rather an inevitable consequence of the variability of gene regulation. |

The approach makes two important modifications to the DVD drive and standard DVD media. First, an extra photodiode is added to the drive to detect transmitted and forward-scattered light through the disk. Second, the DVD media is replaced with a disposable, multilayer, semi-transparent polymer disk that contains fluidic microchannels in addition to the usual 0.74-μm-wide spiral track.
Before performing experiments, the inner surfaces of the fluidic channels are functionalized to allow surface attachment of the desired cells or particles. Samples of blood or another liquid of interest are then pumped into the channels and the DVD drive is switched on. The added photodiode records the amount of light from the drive's 658-nm semiconductor laser that is transmitted through the disk as it spins. The result is a two-dimensional image, which is saved to a computer hard drive for analysis. Cells or particles that have been successfully bound to the treated channels show up in the resulting images. To date, the team has tested their system by using it to image polymer beads of various sizes (1, 2.8 and 5 μm) suspended in a solution as well as CD4+ cells in blood, which are an important marker for the HIV virus.

The problem of the political class is easy to exaggerate, but difficult to define
David Cameron is often described as a career politician (Credit: Thierry Ehrmann, CC BY 2.0)
ss’. A wide selection of broadcast, print and social media commentators argue that elected politicians in the UK are not representative of their constituents. Instead, they are part of a self-referential ‘political class’ which is increasingly distant from the real world and mistrusted by the public.Examples include:
Andrew Neil’s 2011 documentary ‘n’ and assertion (in BBC2’s Daily Politics 19.6.14 from 39 minutes) that ‘all MPs will end up looking and sounding the same’ if ‘hand picked by the party high command’. (For more information see Stephen Crone’s piece for the LSE Politics and Policy blog.)
Mason and Gani (2014): ‘’.
Nigel Farage, UKIP leader, 2nd May 2014: We’ve just about had enough of a career class of politician … Look at the three so-called ‘big parties’ and look at their front benches. They are made up of people who go to the same handful of schools, they all go to Oxford, they all get a degree in PPE … then they all get a job as a researcher in a political office, they become Members of Parliament at 27 or 28, Cabinet ministers in their early 40s, and I put it to you that this country is nowproper day’s work in their lives.
The problem with trying to find some general conclusion, from these assertions, is that they could be conflating four different problems about MPs:
It is difficult to reconcile these four arguments to produce one strategy for political reform. Indeed, they can produce debates on important trade-offs, such as when all women short lists coordinated by a national party are criticised or rejected by local constituency offices and candidates. Instead, a legislature might produce plans to address corruption and MP behaviour (see Judge, 2013), leaving most issues regarding local and social background to political parties. Further, political parties differ markedly in their attitude, with Labour the most likely to seek ways to improve its representation of women, and the Conservatives more focused on avoiding ‘professional politicians’ and finding candidates who have ‘proved themselves’ outside politics (perhaps at the expense of local candidates.)
With Michael Keating and Alex Wilson, I am writing a paper that compares their experiences in different arenas – – and in relation to three main indicators of representation (sex, occupation, education). Yet, this focus seems limited because it tends to consider each category separately. In this post, I briefly explore two examples of issues that could be addressed if we cross-reference these categories – bearing in mind that quantitative analysis is limited by the small numbers involved and the lack of detailed or comparable data in many cases (in fact, I am hoping that this sort of discussion piques enough colleague interest to prompt us, as a group, to get better data).
The popular media argument, summed up in Nigel Farage’s speech, is that a political class contains a cadre of people with a set of characteristics: they attend private school, Oxbridge and their formative career is in an ‘instrumental’ occupation (defined below).
A second argument is that an attempt to redress the balance in one indicator of social background has unintended consequences on another. For example, Labour’s use of AWS has become connected to arguments about national control of local selection, with the potential to undermine the selection of local candidates, or to select party worthies, in instrumental occupations, at the expense of working class candidates or, at least, people with non-instrumental formative occupations. From the limited information we have, there appears to be little evidence to support concerns about localism. Labour’s MPs consistently have more ‘direct local constituency connections’ than the Westminster average – and far more than the Conservatives – and its record has improved since AWS. For example, in 1997, the beginning of the Blair era, Labour’s 57% marked a rise from 1945 (30.7%) and compared to 45% in Westminster and 9% of the Conservatives.
If we look at social background measures, for Labour’s new entrants in 2010, education suggests that women are less representative – private school 12.1%/ 2.9%; Oxbridge 24.2%/ 11.8%; any University 96.9%/ 76.5% – but instrumental occupation does not – 45.5%/ 61.8%. Within occupations, the proportion of women in the ‘political worker’ category is higher (27.3%/ 17.6%), but the absolute numbers are in single figures (note that I include all Labour 32 women MPs because 28 were selected using AWS and the remainder do not have markedly different backgrounds).
This compares with the Conservatives, in which women are far less likely than men to have attended private school (25.0%/ 47.8%), more likely to have attended Oxbridge (30.6%/ 25.7%) and more likely to have an instrumental occupation (27.8%/ 21.2%). In Westminster overall, 6 women MPs (4.2%) and 23 men (4.5%) achieve the political class trifecta. Overall, there is no clear picture, and minimal evidence to suggest that the representation of women comes at the expense of other measures of social representativeness, even when AWS is used.
The ‘take home message’the political class: as a problem, it is easy to exaggerate but difficult to define; there are many solutions, each party has its own solutions and priorities; and, many solutions have the potential to undermine another. My impression is that parties are mostly worried, perhaps needlessly, about the effects of AWS on other kinds of background. Yet, Conservative recruitment, which favours business success, seems to come at the expense of local candidates and women, while UKIP’s recent success in the European Parliament (combined with the Conservative showing) scuppered the otherwise remarkable progress towards a 50/50 women/ men split among UK MEPs.

Artists with courage and integrity help realize the Dream
The King holiday that we now take for granted came about with an enormous boost from an artist who could not see but had the vision to recognize the importance of such an observance, especially to the Black people for whom MLK sacrificed so much, even his life.
Wonder had joined with MLK widow Coretta Scott King and others in the effort to have the human rights leader’s birthday made into a national holiday. In 1968, not longMI) introduced the first bill attempting to bring nationwide recognition to MLK’s birthday.
“Stevie didn’t send a check. Stevie came. He would come to the marches, he would come to the rallies,” explained Reverend Al Sharpton. “Stevie was an activist in his own right.”
As a result, the first official federal holiday was observed in January of 1986. However, 23 states initially refused to recognize the holiday; today all 50 states observe the day. South Carolina was the last holdout, finally officially acknowledging the MLK holiday in 2000.
Contrast the vision of Wonder and artists of yesteryear who contributed to and sacrificed for the movement for freedom and justice with today’s Yeezy’s and HOV’s, who consider themselves “gods” unto themselves. They have made themselves too big to make such sacrifices. Their personal agendas are prioritized over the people who birthed them, who 400 years later are still fighting, still scuffling, still struggling for just a little more breathing space.
Had some of the opportunistic, self-obsessed and entrepreneurial-minded artists of today been left with the task of advancing the fight, they likely would have asked how much or would have left the task undone. Or, they may have given it verbal assent on social media without any effort to make it real. Worse yet, they would have sat down when asked to take a stand.
When it comes to sitting down, Colin Kaepernick, in the spirit of Stevie Wonder, did what he could to advance the cause of fighting against police violence: He took a knee. Jay-Z, rather than advance the modern-day struggle against police violence and honor the sacrifice of Kaepernick, declared that it was time to move on, saying, “I think everyone knows what the issue is—we’re done with that.”
Worse yet, in the year of the 400th anniversary of our struggle, West posited the idea that Black people preferred slavery to freedom. “W 2018 interview with TMZ. He added, “It’s like we’re mentally imprisoned.”
So, on this observance of MLK’s birthday, let’s join hands and remind ourselves that we are not alone in this seemingly infernal and eternal struggle without end. The ancestors still stand watch over us, and they maintain the flame even as we sometimes grow weary. And as Stevie added in his lyrics to his now-famous song: “We’ll make the dream become a reality; I know we will, because our hearts tell us so.”
Ha-pp-y Birth-day!

en | N/A | N/A | Today Hope turned eight. Yes, eight. Wow…
I have to admit that it wasn't until I had Hope that I felt so differently about birthdays. As an adult I can't say they've ever been nearly as exciting as I remembered as a child, and now as a parent I sit and spend quite a bit of time reflecting and celebrating the amazing life I helped bring into this world. Birthdays aren't about presents, parties, or cake & ice cream. Since having my children it's always been about the two miracles I now have. And after all I've learned this past month or so I must admit I find myself even more blessed. So today, I was reminded of the day my baby girl was born…
I have to admit I have so much respect for elementary school teachers. They have to keep nearly 20 young children under control as the students go from their class, to lunch, to recess, and other areas in the school on a daily basis. That's a tough challenge with just one or two kids, let alone nearly 20!
She even picked out her bear's heart. She had to warm it up first, because bear's aren't allowed to have cold hearts!
After her bear was dressed she filled out her bear's birth certificate, yes using computers & keyboards that are reminiscent of a "cold war era nuclear power plant". (thanks for the reference Eddie!
Of course now that I have two kids, it's always hard to do something for one without doing something for the other – even on their birthday. Seeing this photo made me feel so bad for my baby boy. However, he wasn't pouting because he didnt' get to make a bear – he was pouting because we made him get off the computer so we could go pay for Hope's bear. He looked so small here…seeing this after the fact makes me feel as though he felt so left out…
Though he was sure to let us know he really wanted to play on the computer at Build-A-Bear. So much so that he had a melt down. He threw himself onto the floor and just cried. Don't you wish we could all do that when things didn't go our way?
Instead of picking him up and giving him the attention he was expecting (which would in turn only make him do this more often) I stood there and told him to get up…and yes, I had my Nikon d700 out and took more pictures. Yes, I'm sure there were a few people in the store that had to have thought I was crazy. Though we weren't going to make Jaylen a build-a-bear I did plan on letting him get a smaller one – it turns out a little puppy dog made him much happier. Yes, he quickly forgot about those cold war era computers! |
en | N/A | N/A | Three men, aged between 25 and 31, have been accused of using social media to praise extremist groups.
Spanish police on Friday arrested three Pakistani brothers who are suspected of spreading Islamic extremist propaganda via social media networks.
Officers detained the men, aged between 25 and 31, in an early morning raid on their home in Lleida, a police spokesman said.
The brothers operated several social media accounts, which they used to upload videos praising group executions carried out by Islamic State, the Taliban and other Pakistani extremist groups, police said in a statement.
Police said the brothers had gathered a large group of followers in their attempts to spread jihadist ideology.
The raid comes just three days after a gun and suicide bomb spree at Istanbul’s Ataturk airport that killed 44 people and which Turkish officials said appear. |

en | N/A | N/A | Richard Harbord: LGPS deficits are “all important”, but are they really what they seem?
For a long while I have had a bee in my bonnet about the reporting of pension funds. There are a number of aspects that it seems to me are troubling.
First of all, people talk about public sector pensions as if they are all the same. There are actually 54 different public sector pension funds and they are run in one of three ways; they are either a funded scheme, a notional scheme or pay as you go.
In the dim and distant past when money was plentiful and the public sector world large and peaceful, certain parts adopted pay as you go schemes. The best example of this was the police service.
As time went on, and the number of pensioners grew, the burden on police authorities became unsustainable.
At one point, some 10 years ago, I remember a chief constable of one force saying that unless the funding system changed in five years he would stop policing and become a pensions administering authority. Central government has had to help.
Teachers have a notional fund where the sums are kept aside, but not actually invested, and the fund management is a book exercise.
The LGPS is a good example of a funded scheme and, despite all the noise, remains an excellent vehicle for dealing with pensions.
The current deficit quoted for all 89 funds in LGPS is £47bn. And indeed, whenlled its members the deficit emerged as a major concern. Funds are valued regularly in a thoroughly scientific way by actuaries and I have no issues with that.
However, there is a question mark over how much the deficit figures can be relied upon. Factors such as the likely level of pay increases chosen by actuaries, as well as the choice of discount rate, may vary considerably from what actually happens, and the actual returns achieved by fund managers.
I note in passing that most funds have a positive cash flow and even under the current regime many are 70-80% funded. Pension Funds are a long-term business and in reality I believe that the deficits will never reach those currently projected.
Interestingly, this is a time of change in the local government pension world. By now all authorities will have set up their independent pension boards with a governance and scrutiny role.
Two other issues were singled out in the NAPF poll by respondents for these new bodies. There is uncertainty about their role and a challenge in ensuring members are properly trained.
As a chair of two of these boards I disagree that there is uncertainty about the role. This is clearly definedboards will be in scrutinising costs, governance, administrative performance etc. At present although all authorities have met statutory requirements some are going for the minimum necessary and that is a shame because this is a real opportunity to moves things forward.
There are additional issues. There is an almost obsessional interest in the costs of investment management met by the funds, in particular, how much of this cost is in hidden transactional charges and whether costs are being inflated by unnecessary transactions.
I have to say that there is nothing new in all this, but I believe that the best interests of council tax payers is served by having Local Pension Fund Authorities to ensure that good value and good pension fund returns are achieved.
Pension funds have to accept that return and risk have a correlation and the new pension boards should be monitoring investment costs of the various managers. There is, of course, an argument that above normal performance is relatively worth paying for, but governance is the key to keeping costs in check.
In the long term though the calculation and dealing with the deficit is all important. I would urge some detailed research on this.
It does not serve council tax payers well to fund deficits unnecessarily when the money could have been used on services. This is a priority and it is my personal belief that the £47bn is not a real figure and that we could do better. |

Boxing is back, and it’s epic.
In the world of professional combat sports, boxing has seen a marked decline. On Sat., March 7, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, boxing made its official return to prime time. With the inauguration of Premier Boxing Champions (PBC), it seems that boxing has made a comeback.
Al Haymon, creator of PBC and longtime boxing manager, sought to give new life to the sport of boxing; this event marked the first time in 30 years that NBC has aired a boxing match. All Access Staging & Productions is honored to be a part of such a game-changing event.
The traditional image of boxing is a brightly lit ring in the center of a dark room. In recent years, boxing has been upstaged by more compelling and visually striking fighting events. (No pun intended.)
Haymon made a bold move and deviated from boxing’s “old school” roots to create an engaging, vibrant boxing spectacle. Wanting to appeal to live spectators and not just television viewers, Haymon created an immersive sensory experience, using light, music score, and visuals.
Haymon recruited the expertise of Bruce Rogers of Tribe, Inc. and All Access to execute his larger-than-life vision, which included the massive main stage, called The Wall of Thunder, as well as the immense scoreboard hanging above the boxing ring.
The scoreboard, named The Death Star, is certainly befitting its name. Towering above the boxing ring, the massive structure is made up of several large rings – the camera truss ring, the scoreboard and lighting grid ring, the soffit ring with the mother grid, and finally, The Ring of Honor.
All Access was responsible for all the staging structures and scenic features for the event, including The Wall of Thunder, The Death Star, custom scenic truss, mother grid, lighting truss, custom PA hangers, video support, the NBC broadcast desk, and all the structural and scenic elements that went into the athlete warm-up rooms.
All Access is particularly excited about the athlete warm-up rooms, aptly named The Red Room and The Blue Room. They are much more than dressing rooms; the ultra high tech yet comfortable rooms offer anything a fighter might need to warm up and prepare for a fight.
PBC has it all — spectacular visual features, state-of-the-art LED screens, high definition cameras with 360 degree camera angles, cutting-edge surround sound technology, and an original music s.
The premier event, in which Keith Thurman defeated Robert Guerrero, brought in huge ratings for NBC. With viewership peaking at 4.2 million, PBC became the most watched fight broadcast since 1998.

en | N/A | N/A | Mudasir Bashir Shah was felicitated with the Mohammad Ashraf Award Of Excellence on International Mountain Day for summiting the Mount Kolohoi – the highest peak of Kashmir. Brown gets to know Mudasir Bashir Shah, the trekking champion.
Mudasir Bashir Shah is the only trekker from north Kashmir having trekked around 120 places including some amazing mountaineering expeditions. Mudasir has scaled every famous peak in Kashmir, including the highest peak of Kashmir – Mount Kolahoi. He, along with some of his friends, has climbed some famous peaks of Leh as well, Stok Kangri being one of them. This is one such peak that most trekkers summit within 7 days. However, Mudasir, along with his friend, scaled this peak within just 24 hours, which is a milestone in itself. Mudasir has done a very famous trek in Ladakh, known as Chadar Trek and has withstood the chilling rather freezing temperature of minus 35 degrees.
Here, is our conversation with Mudasir.
Yes, as we talked earlier, I started trekking as fun, but once I entered into the wilderness of nature, there was no looking back from then on. It was a never-ending adventure for me. I have done almost 120 treks. I started as a budding trekker, but gradually I started professional mountaineering. I have scaled almost every famous peak in Kashmir, like Mount Kolahoi, Sunset Peak, Sheen Myean Peak, Pinnacle Peak and Valehead. I did my basic mountaineering course from JIM (Jawaharlal Institute of Mountaineering) and secured an ‘A’ grade in it. Thereafter, I became eligible for the advanced mountaineering course, which I did from HMI Darjeeling.

What is your drive behind this passion ?
Kashmir has about 200 Alpine lakes, and I am tremendously fond of all of these. My biggest goal is to visit, trek and see as many of these lakes as I can. Also, I believe that nature is the best teacher, companion, guide and everything else. Nature never misguides us and is our best friend. I find peace of mind when I am in such places, and natural beauty is all around. I believe peace and happiness is the ultimate goal of human beings. So, all of this is what drives my passion.
How do you manage the food?

Yes, I would want to talk about that. I have faced many threatening experiences while mountaineering but the recent one was very much life-threatening. We were a team of seven people, and we were just 300 meters away to summit the mountain, and suddenly, a huge boulder came rolling down. It was a rockfall, and it seriously injured 3 people. But, Alhumdulilah (God’S Grace) I was safe and I and some other team members decided to descend as people were injured and we were running short of time. So, after we descended, we thought that we are in a safer zone, but just at that moment, one of our climbers suddenly fell approx 300 meters down, and she had an absolutely miraculous escape. It was again a narrow escape for the team, and we decided to divide the team into a group of two, one group was going to stay at the advance camp to look after the injured and the second team decided to again attempt for the summit. So, I was in the second team, and by 2:30 in the night we left and started to trek the summit. While passing through the huge glacier which was full of open and hidden crevasses, we somehow managed to reach the rocky area. I was leading the group, and suddenly a rock came out, and it cut my little finger. My finger was bleeding, and the other two members being concerned about me were asking to move back and stop the trek. However, having almost reached, I asked them just to do the first aid and continue. While we were moving ahead, blood from my finger was dropping, and blood marks were everywhere. We were just 20 meters short of the summit, and a whiteout happened, and we couldn’t see anything. It was a blanket of zero visibility. I cannot express the feeling that took over me then. We were absolutely stuck, hanging by a rocky wall. However, we still didn’t give up and managed to reach the top of it and summited the peak. Spending some time there, we were now occupied by another huge concern – with zero visibility and a very tough terrain very much vulnerable to rockfall, how will we move down? It seemed impossible. It was a moment that my emotions were at peak and I hugged my two partners and made a video for my family bidding them goodbye saying that ‘I’m sorry, I could not survive, and please forgive me’. I thought it was the last expedition but then a huge thanks first to God and then to my two partners who boosted my courage and filled me with positivity and we decided to trace our way back, come what may.

I have travelled, or rather trekked with many foreign tourists, they were amazed to see the beauty of Kashmir. They absolutely fell in love with it, and I can’t explain their reactions when they see the natural beauty of Kashmir. We are lucky to have all the four beautiful seasons throughout the year, and I think every season caters to a different group of tourists. For example, those who like to capture the scenic beauty and are fond of photography often come during autumn as it is the best time for photography. Snow enthusiasts come during winters, and we also have the best skiing spot – Gulmarg. So, I think we have got everything that a traveller of adventure wants, and we would welcome them. However, for that to happen, peace needs to prevail, and things and issues need to be resolved.
Can you tell us about the club you are associated with?
Image: Mudasir at Chandansar, Pir ki Gali.
Insha Allah(God willingly), by next year I will complete the century of lakes and after that, we have plans to do something for our budding trekkers. Till now too many people have got inspired to enter this field and they are doing fairly well. So, we have initiated a process and have started to inculcate these skills into our young generation, and it will definitely bear fruits in future. |

en | N/A | N/A | Just recently, theWolf Law represented a client that was being charged with their fourth cell phone violation in New Jersey. As a fourth offense, pursuant to New Jersey’s hands free driving law, N.J.S.A. 39:4-97.3, the client faced a fine of between $600.00 and $800.00 dollars, the assessment of 3 motor vehicle points, and up to 90 days of driver’s license suspension.
Understandably, the client was very concerned about the prospect of losing his driver’s license, which could have posed problems with his employment. Randolph H. Wolf, however, was able to downgrade the cell phone ticket to an offense in violation of N.J.S.A. 39:4-116, failure to make a proper right or left turn at arrow. This offense carried zero points and no suspension time. Thus, after pleading guilty to the amended charge in violation of N.J.S.A. 39:4-116, the client ended up having to pay a small fine and was able to keep his New Jersey driving privileges.
Since New Jersey’s new cell phone law went into effect in July of 2014, theWolf Lawthe new cell phone penalties in New Jersey. For those client facing possible suspension time as a result of a third or subsequent cell phone violation, we work to either obtaining a complete dismissal of the cell phone violation, downgrade the cell phone ticket, or reduce or eliminate any suspension time associated with the cell phone offense.
Can New Jersey Courts Count Prior Cell Phone Violations Against You?
Please note that, as explained in more detail in these blogs posts, for first or second cell phone violations, the court can only impose a fine of between $200.00 to $400.00 for a first offense and $400.00 to $600.00 for a second offense. You will not be assessed any motor vehicle points or suspension time for a first or second cell phone ticket in New Jersey. Thus, for the vast majority of individuals facing a first or second cell phone ticket, it simply to fight the ticket, unless of course you determine that pleading guilty to the cell phone violation would have a negative effect on your employment.
If you have received a third or subsequent cell phone violation in New Jersey, or if are facing a first or second cell phone violation and you have determined that it would effect your employment, contact the attorneys at theWolf. |

may think of “AlphaGo”, a robot that defeated the European Go Champion Fan Hui.
However, if we have a deep understanding of AI and the technology behind it, we will understand that AI is under the control of humans and constantly learning. For machines to be able to replace humans and to do things for humans, stems from the artificial intelligence technology behind them!
“According to the technology behind artificial intelligence and its rules, artificial intelligence that embodies the intelligent part (of technology) is inseparable from humans,” said Qi Sa, Yonyou Financial Product Manager when demonstrating how to empower enterprise management through Yonyou Robotic Process Automation (RPA).
In Artificial Intelligence, “Artificial” and “Intelligence” are Inseparable
In some advanced cities, people can use facial recognition to enter the train station, to clock in at work, and to pay in supermarkets. They can also use speech-to-text functionsools to make life easier. These are all artificial intelligence technologies.
Despite the existence and acceleration of AI technologies, there are still things that machines cannot do on their own. Looking at AlphaGo, we will find that it is not just technology, but the team behind AlphaGo that defeated the European Go champion. Other than the neural network algorithm, it is the team that created the chess game model and the prediction model. Without this team, no matter how good the algorithm and how powerful the computing power, it would be impossible to defeat human beings.
Based on this, we can see that in current artificial intelligence, the artificial is inseparable from intelligence. The artificial includes the design, development, and training of application models. In order to get a useful artificial intelligence result, one needs to invest a lot in research and development. Even so, the result that can be achieved is only a probability.
Application of Artificial Intelligence in Enterprise Business Scenarios
While AI was hailed as a gamechanger, it was also found to have flaws such as ambiguity because it simulates humans and humans are inaccurate. In addition, the most important element in AI is the mathematical models and algorithms.
Today, artificial intelligence technologies are commonly utilised in business scenarios.
However, the complexity of the business scenario of enterprise management is much higher than that of playing chess. It involves many steps, complex rules, and many users. In the application scenario of enterprise management intelligence, a solution would combine technology and scenarios and invest in feasible resources. For example, RPA robots are mainly processing automation to replace manual business, including automatic reconciliation, automatic payables and receivables settlement, automatic apportionment, etc., and they also use image recognition technology to process invoice recognition and verification.
Yonyou blends the power of AI, robotics, machine learning and human talent to concoct intelligent solutions for business. In the future, through Yonyou’s intelligent solutions, a variety of AI technologies will be applied in combination with a wide range of business scenarios of the enterprise to enhance user experience, improve business efficiency and business insights, and assist enterprise decision-making.
