The first time I ever tasted a corned beef brisket was in Elmira, New York at a St. Patrick's Day party in 1988.
Many people asked if it tasted just like my mom's corned beef. They were astonished to learn we don't eat corned beef and cabbage in Ireland.
In Ireland we tend to pair cabbage and potatoes with bacon. Our version of corned beef is an inexpensive canned deli meat. I am not sure if it is a step above or below Spam.
So where did the association of corned beef with St. Patrick's Day come from in America. When Irish emigrants arrived in America they found that beef and salt were relatively cheap, so they started to cure beef just like they treated a "bacon joint" back home in Ireland. Hence corned beef and cabbage replaced Ireland's traditional bacon and cabbage dinner.
Bacon and cabbage was a weekly staple in our house. I always remember my grandmother sending me to the creamery to buy a piece of meat. "The man behind the counter saves the piece of bacon I like," she advised. He never failed her. I would arrive back with a lovely pink piece of meat wrapped up in brown paper and tied with rough twine.
She cooked it in an ever-boiling pot of water, bubbling on the range, tossing in shredded cabbage leaves about a half an hour before the meat was done. My West Cork grandmother was no fancy cook, but she made the best bacon and cabbage I have ever tasted.
Since coming to live in America it is hard, if not impossible, to find traditional Irish bacon. Just like emigrants from years gone by, I have learned to substitute corned beef, but unlike my grandmother, I don't just boil it. I make a sweet glaze with apricot preserves then finish cooking it in the oven, to add an extra layer of flavor.
Place the brisket in a large Dutch oven, and add the chopped celery and quartered onions. Cover the meat with water and season with salt and pepper. Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2 to 2 and 1/2 hours. A 3 pound brisket takes 2 hours and a 4 pound brisket needs 2 and 1/2 hours.
Just before the meat finishes boiling pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F and make the glaze. Melt the butter in the bottom of a small saucepan and add the brown sugar.
Pour in the apricot preserves or jam as we say in Ireland. Next comes a tablespoon of worcestershire sauce. Then add two tablespoons of dijon mustard. Pour a 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar into the glaze.
And finally, powdered ginger adds extra depth of flavor to this sweet glaze.
Whisk the glaze ingredients together over medium heat until the sugar and preserves dissolve.
Remove the brisket from the Dutch oven and discard the cooking liquid and vegetables. Place the joint in a greased roasting pan.
Pour the glaze over the meat. Use a spoon to make sure the surface of the corned beef is well glazed. Bake uncovered in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.
Spoon the glaze from the bottom of the pan over the joint every 10 minutes during the baking process.
Remove from the oven and let the meat stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This resting time allows the meat juices redistribute and remain in the meat when you slice it open.
Serve sliced corned beef with boiled cabbage and potatoes.
This corned beef is not just boiled. Brushed with a sweet glaze of apricot preserves, cooking is finished in the oven, adding an extra layer of flavor.
Step 1 Place corned beef brisket in a Dutch oven. Add chopped celery and onion. Cover with water. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 2 hours for a 3 pound brisket, 2 and 1/2 hours for a 4 pound brisket.
Step 2 Five minutes before the end of cooking time for the meat, make the apricot glaze. Melt the butter over medium-low heat in a small saucepan. Add the brown sugar, apricot preserves, worcestershire sauce, dijon mustard, vinegar, and ground ginger. Stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves.
Step 3 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. When cooked, remove the meat from the pot. Discard the cooking liquid and vegetables.
Step 4 Place the cooked beef in a greased roasting pan. Brush the brisket with the apricot glaze.
Step 5 Bake, uncovered for 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Every 10 minutes reglaze the joint by spooning some of the glaze from the bottom of the pan over it.
Step 6 Once cooked, let the corned beef stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
Step 7 Serve with cabbage and potatoes.
Wishing you all successful St. Patrick's Day planning and cooking.
Did you see that I have an award for you on my blog? You might not "do" awards, I know that some people don't, but I thought have you as being a "versatile" blogger!
Also, I have little of a giveaway to celebrate my 100th post!
Thanks so much for your kind recognition Kay. Congratulations on your 100th post. I really enjoy your writing so here's to the next 100 posts.
This sounds so marvelous! I just love authentic recipes such as this, and we adore corned beef brisket…must cook this! Thanks for the interesting history also!
This recipe adds a lovely hint of sweetness to the corned beef brisket. Thanks for stopping by, Bonnie and checking out this recipe.
I follow the recipe on the package. My mom says you have to simmer it longer. I've done that 3 years in a row hoping it will get tender. Hers always does? But mine iS always so tough its inedible. I simmer it VERy low….
And since I still have it in the fridge wondering is there any way to get it tender now?
Happy St Patricks Day to all!
Mary – You may want to try cooking your corned beef in a crock pot for 8 hours on low, before transferring it to the oven to glaze it. That might help to make it tender. I always find it is the luck of the draw when you buy a brisket. It is impossible to see through the packaging to tell if your piece has a line of gristle through it. Hope you enjoy your corned beef tomorrow.
Best of luck with your dental surgery. Hope it is successful and that your recovery is quick and painless.
I'm trying this recipe now. Corned beef is boiling. I tried something like this at my girlfriends a number of years ago, but lost the recipe. It was delicious and a hit with the family. Yours sounds even better though. She added rosemary to hers which I might do to yours.
Rosemary sounds like a great addition. Hope it turns out good.
Sorry Tish and I missed you at the parade. Blessing this St. Patrick's Day…tomorrow.
I am fixing your Apricot Glazed Corned Beef dish tomorrow with your cabbage recipe along with 10 Scotch Eggs and other items. If I don't eat these kinds of foods from time to time, I probably won't live longer…it'll only seem longer. ;~) Wayne.
Wayne – Sorry we missed you too. I waited at the starting point of the parade and joined the group after my little girl was safely sitting on the Irish Dancing Float. My three boys were with me, so we ended up lagging behind as we were handing out candy. They were delighted to be able to join in the fun.
I hope you have a wonderful feast in honor of St. Patrick tomorrow. I think we all need to indulge in these "healthy" foods every now and then. Best wishes to you and yours for a very happy St. Patrick's Day.
I found this recipe just recently and I have to tell you it's fantastic and easy to make. Definitely a crowd pleaser. I made it for my family and neighbors and they all love it.
Aileen – Thanks for giving this recipe your family's seal of approval. It's always lovely to hear from readers who enjoy my Irish and Irish American cooking.

E HAD CLEVERLY touched the prince's worst trait, his pride. Prince Cherry went at once to Zelia's dungeon, prepared to do this cruel thing.
The poor beast rushed away from the sound of her words, but in a moment he stumbled into a trap, set by bear-catchers. When the trappers found him they were delighted to have caught a curiosity, and they immediately dragged him to the palace courtyard. There he heard the whole court buzzing with gossip. Prince Cherry had been struck by lightning and killed, was the news, and the five favourite courtiers had struggled to make themselves rulers, but the people had refused them, and offered the crown to Suliman, the good old tutor.
"Poor thing," he thought, "she is even more hungry than I"; and he ran up and dropped the crust at her feet.
Cherry was glad of that, and he was running happily back to his kennel when he heard cries of distress, and suddenly he saw some rough men dragging along a young girl, who was weeping and crying for help. What was his horror to see that the young girl was Zelia! Oh, how he wished he were the monster once more, so that he could kill the men and rescue her! But he could do nothing except bark, and bite at the heels of the wicked men. That did not stop them; they drove him off, with blows, and carried Zelia into a palace in the wood.
Zelia and Prince Cherry fell at the fairy's feet. But with a beautiful smile she bade them come to their kingdom. In a trice, they were transported to the prince's palace, where King Suliman greeted them with tears of joy. He gave back the throne with all his heart, and King Cherry ruled again, with Zelia for his queen.


We recently designed a new exhibition space for Dublin City University. It's in their library and showcases Early Printed Books, Manuscripts and Archives covering various themes.
The section above features in the exhibition. It is from Seán Lester's diary, a Irishman who worked for the League of Nations, based in Geneva. He wrote the above entry just prior to World War 2.
We'll put up some better pictures once the space has been officially opened.
This is two metres high and six long in real life.
Note from an Taoiseach Eamonn DeValera to Archbishop John Charles McQuaid thanking him for all the 'reamh obair' he did on the constitution.


LITTLE NECK, NY – Dealers and manufacturers have always had an "interesting" relationship. They very much need each other but are occasionally at odds when it comes to certain details of that relationship.
In general, manufacturers (OEM) hold the larger share of power when it comes to product, pricing, and establishing selling territories. They even have some sway over how dealers represent motorcycles and accessories in the marketplace.
OEMs have evolved a very stringent set of rules regarding dealership size, location, appearance, and even inventory stocking levels. It's not uncommon for dealer franchise agreements to run fifty pages or more.
Dealer owners know all about these rules before signing on to sell motorcycles and associated merchandise. That doesn't keep them from trying to put their own personal stamp on the businesses in which they have invested so much financial and sweat equity.
So, when the "Mother Ship" comes out with a major policy shift, as Harley-Davidson has with their announcement of establishing an online retail store at Amazon.com, you can bet there will be some noise from the dealer community.
Of course, there are two sides to this coin. Harley-Davidson is thinking about the huge number of potential new customers for apparel and other merchandise – folks who may very well never step inside a dealership.
Dealers are naturally thinking about lost sales. They'll think of every dollar that goes to the Harley-Davidson Amazon Storefront as one less dollar for dealers. They're not talking about chump change either. In 2017, Harley-Davidson reported sales of General Merchandise in the amount of $263 million – almost all of it sold through authorized H-D dealers.
For the average dealership, apparel and merchandise represent important sales dollars. These sales generate around 40% profit margin and contribute significantly to paying the operating costs of the store.
Motorcycle sales generate far more sales revenue but only deliver around 15% profit margin. Every dealer wants to see his sales of apparel and merchandise increase as much as possible. This latest decision from Harley-Davidson will make that more difficult than ever.
Right now, the Harley-Davidson Amazon storefront is sparsely populated. However, if all the apparel and general merchandise that's in the vast Harley collection becomes available online, this will be one hell of a storefront!
Knowing how dealers think, they're already wondering about what comes next.
In 2017, H-D reported additional sales of Parts and Accessories of $804 million. If they expand the online offering to include this category, then we are talking over a billion dollars in revenue that is currently flowing though Harley-Davidson dealerships. Now we're talking REAL money!
There will be some really interesting conversations at the next dealer meeting. There are currently 698 Harley dealers in the U.S.A. and 68 more in Canada. That's a lot of voices that will undoubtedly not be supporting this new tactic from Harley.
Next time you're at your local dealership, see if you can get the owner to give you his thoughts on this. It might be wise to stand back a couple of feet when you do.
Just another way Harley can screw their dealers and lose more business. Less door swings equals less incidental sales. Senior management needs to go. Stock prices are the only driving force in all current management decisions. Hope Harley goes out of business.


Fortumo Mobile Payments Blog » Blog Archive » - Payments: a third pillar of carrier revenue?
Payments: a third pillar of carrier revenue?
This article originally appeared on Light Reading.
This is happening in all corners of the world ranging from the US with AT&T Inc. and sponsored data and T-Mobile US Inc. and Rhapsody to emerging markets like India where Bharti Airtel Ltd. works with WhatsApp.
By giving out some data for free, users become habituated and are willing to spend money on additional data in the future. But while carriers generate additional revenue from providing the data infrastructure powering content services, the money that is moving inside of those services is something mobile operators are missing out on.
My suggestion is for mobile operators to start providing their payment technology – carrier billing and mobile wallets – to these merchants as well. With emerging markets playing an increasingly important role in the digital ecosystem, most merchants are struggling to capture payments from their unbanked audience.
There are 3 billion people in the world right now who have a mobile phone but do not own a credit card – and these are the potentially paying users merchants can't get to. A good example of this is Uber choosing to add in India and Kenya where only 2% of the population owns credit cards. For merchants like this, carriers are in a position to solve the pain of online payments.
The revenue growth from payments should not be underestimated. While only 10% of all mobile subscribers use carrier billing right now, they tend to outspend customers using only data or voice services significantly. For reference, Fortumo merchants' average revenue per paying user stands at $29 in the UK, $1.7 in India and $8.6 in Brazil. This equals or outperforms the ARPU of most carriers in these markets.
Beside the additional revenue, payments provide the added benefit of keeping customers active and loyal. The customer is most likely going to top up their account if the alternative is losing their insurance provider as Telenor has found in providing insurance to its subscribers in Pakistan.
As carriers are partnering with a growing amount of third-party service providers, payments are the next logical step in growing these partnerships. Right now it's the merchants that are mainly driving the implementation of carrier billing in their services. With more focus also from carriers, payments have the potential to become a significant pillar of carrier revenue beside voice and data services.


We have always educated and discussed the importance of heartworm prevention, but with the recent influx of Hurricane Harvey animals, it is more important than ever!!!
We were recently informed of 5 Dobermans transported from Texas to Phoenix, 4 out of the 5 dogs tested positive for heartworm. That is just one SMALL group of dogs coming in and there are hundreds of rescues taking in animals. For every heartworm positive dog/cat brought into our area increases the risk of heartworm greatly. We have been steadily increasing over the past few years, but this will add an even higher risk than ever.
Prevention is the key to protection. One chew/tablet once every 30 days, that's it!!! So simple and affordable. For the most expensive Heartworm Prevention for a 1 year supply it only $11.72 a month per dog!!!! Plus when you buy a 12 month supply you get a $12.00 rebate so you only pay $10.75 a month!!!!! An extremely affordable preventative care that could save your pet's life.
If your dog/cat is not protected schedule your visit with our office as soon as possible. We are here to help protect your pets health and well-being.


The fluids flowing through many pipelines are two phase, i.e., a mixture of liquid and gas. Ideally the two phases separate out with the liquid at the bottom section of the pipe. The two phases flow together to a processing facility that separates the two phases. In practice, however, the two phases often travel at different rates which means that they can form slugs whereby the composition of the stream at different sections is almost all liquid or almost all vapor. When slugs of liquid exit the pipeline they can overwhelm the gas/liquid handling capacity of the process plant they are entering.
Slugs of liquid are can also be created when pigging a line. The pig pushes forward the liquid that has collected in the line, eventually creating a large slug of that liquid. In addition, slugs can be formed in pipelines that cross undulating terrain. Liquid can accumulate at a low point of the pipeline until sufficient pressure builds up behind it. Once the liquid is pushed out of the low point it can form a slug.
Because slugs of liquid can be so damaging to downstream processes, slug catchers are often installed at the exit of the pipeline. They separate the liquid and permit the gas and some liquid to move forward. The buffered liquids are then slowly drained into the process. If the slug is created intentionally, for example when the line is being pigged, the slug catcher will probably not be in continuous service but will be used as needed.
Some slug catchers are basically horizontal vessels or knock-out pots in which the two phases separate. Others are "finger or harp type" in which the slug catcher consists of several long pieces of pipe ('fingers'), which together form the buffer volume. This approach makes the handling of high pressure gas simpler. However finger type catchers do have a large footprint.
The YouTube video at the bottom of this page is an animation of the operation of a HARP or finger-type slug catcher.

Ilham Aliyev attends opening ceremony of new building of Central Library of Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences
A new building of the Central Library of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences (ANAS) has been opened.
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev attended the opening ceremony.
The head of state cut the ribbon symbolizing the opening of the library.
The new building of the Central Library has been built in accordance with the order of President Ilham Aliyev dated 29 April 2011. In November of the same year, the President laid the foundation of a new library building. Initially, 2 million manats were allocated from the Contingency Fund of the President for the construction of the new building. To complete the construction work, a total of 34 million manats were spent in 2011-2013 in accordance with orders of the Cabinet of Ministers.
The president of ANAS, Academician Akif Alizadeh, told the President that ??the new library building, constructed in the academic camp, covers an area of more than 28,000 square meters. It is the largest universal research center in our country. It possesses a large stock of scientific publications of national and global significance. The Central Library serves as a subdivision of the Academy and is engaged in the fields of library science, bibliography, history of books and information. This science and culture institution has a rich history and represents a specialized reference center for all integrated and industry-specific issues studied within the ANAS system. It is also the leading national center of scientific and technical information. Initial steps to establish the Central Library were taken in 1923-1924. The library, which entered into a new stage in its development in 1945, has covered a long road, especially in the years of great leader Heydar Aliyev's presidency. In January 2003, on the basis of a relevant order of the President of Azerbaijan, the Central Library received the status of a scientific institution. The past years have seen profound structural changes in the Central Library, as new departments dealing with specific research have been created. The library building is equipped in accordance with international standards and is well suited for fruitful work.
It was noted that the new six-storey building had an interesting design and a modern appearance. The most advanced domestic and foreign experiences in architecture were used during construction. The area surrounding the building has been extensively landscaped.
At the entrance to the building there is a bust of great leader Heydar Aliyev.
In accordance with the instructions of the President, special attention has been paid to the application of information and communication technologies based on the latest scientific and technological achievements.
President Ilham Aliyev was presented with a card of the first reader of the ANAS Central Library.
It was indicated that the library card was issued automatically to anyone interested. The country's most advanced library equipment and systems have been applied to this library for the first time. The electronic kiosks installed at the entrance provide detailed information about the way the library is structured, the plan of each floor, the location of various departments and books, including the newly-received publications. There is also a special kiosk for people with disabilities. The displays available on all floors of the library show detailed information about newly received literature. Ordering of books in the library is done electronically.
It was noted that there are 300 computers at the library. The computers connected to the system via a server form a single network and have modern software in accordance with relevant requirements. This allows the library the opportunity to link up with leading libraries of the world on the condition of payment of a subscription fee.
The library also has a special section dedicated to the first 15-people team of the Azerbaijan Academy of Sciences established on 27 March 1945. The room for academicians of this academic institution is fitted with cutting-edge equipment. A total of 50 academicians can engage in fruitful research here. The 14 reading rooms of the new Central Library building can accommodate more than 1,000 readers at a time. Subscription services provided directly to employees of the Academy will be available to 80 readers at the same time. All the conditions are also available to respond to the requests of virtual subscribers residing in different parts of the country.
It was mentioned that the library also operates a thesis hall, which is well suited for productive activity. Also at the disposal of readers are discussion and other rooms equipped with modern appliances.
It was noted that the new building, along with the traditional book fund, would also operate the "National digital memory" database, which will incorporate systematic information about the libraries, foundations, museums, secondary schools, universities, research institutions, media outlets, archives, private collections, collections of creative associations, and the government photo archive operating in Azerbaijan. It will also include information concerning Azerbaijan and stored in museums, exhibition halls and research centers around the world, as well as electronic catalogs of works of art, manuscripts, artifacts and documents. This will provide both our compatriots and foreigners with the opportunity to use objective information about Azerbaijan.
The library operates specialized halls for relevant departments of the Academy. There is also a large conference room for staging various events here.
It was indicated that in accordance with the decision of the Presidium of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences, the new building, along with the Central Library, would also operate a Resource Center. The main goal of both entities is to provide a modern database for conducting scientific research at a high level. The new building will store the main fund, which will incorporate 3.5 million books, as well as a large number of drawings, maps, films and other media. In general, the new building of the ANAS Central Library will allow scientists the opportunity to use the resources of the world's leading libraries. As a result of focused activities of all units, information will become a manageable and coordinated strategic resource.
It was also mentioned that the classification department is also based on the latest scientific and technical advances. This department operates modern equipment to prepare copies of all books and perform other operations in a short time using a high-speed scanner.
The head of state was also provided with detailed information about modern digital printing, electronic management of archives and other technologies. The library will host regular exhibitions of new publications.
It was noted that the library has a closed fund with special conditions capable of storing about 4 million books. Appropriate conditions have been created for the visually impaired people to be able to use the library resources.
President Ilham Aliyev was presented with architectural sketches of buildings of the ANAS Presidium, the new Institute of Mathematics and Mechanics and the National Seismological Service being designed, as well as recreation areas for Academy employees in the Mardakan settlement.
After reviewing the new building of the ANAS Central Library, President Ilham Aliyev congratulated the staff on the remarkable event and gave relevant instructions and recommendations.

CEDAR RAPIDS — Fleet Farm is slated to anchor a new development at the heart of Cedar Rapids' westward expansion, the company announced today.
The massive general store would be the largest tenant in the proposed Edgewood Town Center commercial complex at the corner of Edgewood Road NE and Highway 100, near the new Highway 100 extension.
The intersection is already an up-and-coming commercial node with the $35 million Fountains mixed use development across the street and Peck's Landing proposed on another corner.
HIAWATHA - Joe Ahmann carries a set of blue folders from his office at his Hiawatha headquarters, some of them inches thick from the stacks of documents and drawings inside. He wears a quarter-zip sweater with the sleeves pushed up to just below the elbow.
The Appleton, Wis.-based retailer announced the Cedar Rapids location along with a new location in Cedar Falls at the intersection of Highways 58 and 20.
The stores, which are already under construction and slated to open this fall, would be the fourth and fifth Fleet Farms in Iowa.
Fleet Farm, which formed in 1955 and has 42 stores in the Midwest, is a large general store with fishing, hunting and outdoor equipment, auto parts, farm and pet supplies, home improvement and household goods, clothing and footwear, toys and food, plus vehicle services, including gas, car wash and auto repair.
Each Fleet Farm will have a massive footprint — 190,000 square feet — and 200 employees for jobs in sales and as cashiers and automotive specialists, with hiring scheduled for closer to the store openings.
Carrico said the company heavily examined the areas through market research and site studies and worked to understand the unique development needs of each community before building. He also credited the "high-quality workforce" in Cedar Rapids.
In Cedar Rapids, Joe Ahmann had promised a new-to-the-market national retailer when he announced his $50 million Edgewood Town Center plaza, but the identity had not been publicly disclosed until now.
The Cedar Rapids City Council on Tuesday signed off on code changes to allow a multimillion-dollar tax incentive package for Edgewood Town Center.
The council approved a resolution for an urban renewal plan for the Edgewood Town Center and approved the first of three votes on an ordinance relating to collection of tax increment financing within the urban renewal area.
"This is definitely positive news to start this project," said Caleb Mason, a city economic development analyst.
Fleet Farm would fill about half of Edgewood Town Center, a 55-acre concept that also will have smaller retailers, offices and housing, It will be built out over the next five to 10 years.
Ahmann, under a corporation called New Buffalo Land Co., is seeking a 10-year, 50 percent tax break worth $5.6 million. During this period, $7.5 million in taxes still would be collected for public use under the city's large site master plan economic development program.
Also Tuesday, the City Council authorized city staff to negotiate a tax incentive plan for River Ridge, also represented by Ahmann.
River Ridge would include three, three-story mixed-use buildings, including retail and office space on the first floor and 84 residential units on the second and third floors, and a relocated Randy Kuehl Honda dealership. The project is projected to create 100 jobs and retain 35 at the Honda dealership.
The proposed tax break over 10 years is estimated to be worth $3.8 million while the city still would collect an estimated $3.2 million.

Boston Red Sox rumors
MLB trade rumors: Red Sox 'focused' on Addison Reed
The Red Sox may look to bolster their bullpen before tomorrow's trade deadline.
By Chad Raines@chad_rain Updated Jul 30, 2017, 3:17pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: MLB trade rumors: Red Sox 'focused' on Addison Reed
Jake Roth-USA TODAY Sports
UPDATE (3:15 PM): Talks between the Red Sox and Mets are "intensifying," according to Sean McAdam of the Boston Sports Journal. The deal is not yet close, however.
ORIGINAL: The Red Sox are reportedly "focused" on acquiring Mets reliever Addison Reed, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports and MLB Network.
In the same report, Rosenthal noted that no deal was close, and that other teams are in the hunt for the right-hander. The Dodgers and Rays have also been previously linked to Reed, with as many as 10 teams involved in all.
Reed, 28, is set to be a free agent after this season making him a rental on the trade market. He has served as the Mets' closer for the majority of this season where he has pitched to an impressive 2.57 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, and he has converted 19 of his 21 save opportunities. Reed has plenty of experience in closing games, but he would likely slot in the eighth inning setting up for Craig Kimbrel.
The Red Sox recently made their first significant trade acquiring Eduardo Nunez from the Giants, which filled the large hole they had at third base. The Sox currently sit just a half-game behind the Yankees for first place in the AL East, and they remain on top of the Wild Card standings.

In our last blog, I introduced you to the notion of happiness and told you it was a choice, so today I'd like to tell you how exactly you can make that choice and make it stick.
First of all start thinking about being happy – what is it that makes you happy? It's different for everyone, so what works for me to bring me to my "happy place", won't necessarily work for you. That's one of the beauties of our uniqueness; we all have our different perspectives on life and "Viva la différence!" It might be something as simple as sitting in the garden reading a good book, or walking on the beach in the moonlight with your partner, or skydiving or just about anything that puts you at peace; that puts you in that land where nothing can hurt you or upset you. As I intimated, I like to call that "my happy place". For me personally, it is actually sitting on a beach listening to the sound of the waves lapping against the shore.
This "happy place" is incredibly important, because it is where you need to go when circumstances threaten to overwhelm you and send you spiralling down into the abyss of pity, sadness or misery. Whenever I feel stressed, upset, or about to lose my cool with someone, I mentally walk away – if possible I close my eyes and transport myself to "my happy place". I swear that a couple of minutes visualizing the scene that never fails to fill me with peace and happiness is almost always enough to avoid the looming confrontation, or the silly arguments that start inside my head. Rather than get upset, I CHOOSE to turn away and refresh myself with happiness. It works… and the great thing is you can build up a bank of these happy experiences that you can call on at any time. You're only limited by your imagination.
The second piece of practical advice I can give you on happiness is to stop trying to change the world, or others, all by yourself. Once we accept and fully understand that there is only one person in the world that we have any real control over – OURSELVES – then we can stop allowing other people's dramas and the sorry state of our society to destroy our happiness. I've mentioned in the past that I am a great believer in the "butterfly effect". In other words what we do to change ourselves individually can collectively, change the world.
My next tip is related to the previous one: Surround yourself with people that will uplift you, support you and fill you with pleasure. We all know how hard it is to be positive and happy when we are with someone who grumbles, moans and complains about everything. Very soon we find ourselves dragged down to their level, agreeing with them and sympathizing with their plight. This is a sure way to sabotage your happiness, so beware of such friends or family members. Similarly it is hard to be down, sad and miserable when our friends are full of joy, bubbly and expressive. We get dragged along with them on their exciting journey. I've said before; we, as individuals, emotionally are the average of our five closest friends; so chose those five closest friends wisely.
Now, I'm not suggesting you jettison all your dear friends or relatives just because they can be a bit grumpy at times but try and deal with their moods and attitudes differently. When they complain about something, look for the positive in that situation (there always is one – even if it might be hard to find sometimes) and point that out to them. If they need advice – then sure, advise them; if they need a shoulder to cry on – by all means provide that shoulder (that's what friends do); if they just need to talk, to get their problems off their chest – then absolutely just listen to them. BUT here is what NOT to do; do not take their problems, concerns and anger onto your shoulders. They are not your problems; you don't have to allow yourself to become emotionally involved in your friend's issues. You do what you need to do and then move on. Do not dwell on their problems and do not buy into their sadness and their pain. The absolute best thing you can do in that situation is to offer positive solutions – solutions just like these that work for you.
When you wake up in the morning; don't immediately jump out of bed, put on the coffee, prepare your things for work or school, or begin planning your day and imagining the difficult things you need to prepare for. When you wake up in the morning – don't do anything! Just lie there in bed, with your eyes closed, if need be, to stop your partner from kicking you out of bed and telling you to get the coffee brewing. Just lie there and for five, ten, or even fifteen minutes just picture your day the exact way you want it to go. Visualize that important meeting you have with a client. See the client shake hands and accept the deal; picture your teacher congratulating you on that great paper you submitted; see the table where you will sit and enjoy your lunch and coffee during your break; imagine the joy on your kid's faces when you walk into the house that evening. It doesn't matter what the day ahead holds for you – even if it is just a routine day, picture the little things; your co-worker complimenting you on your outfit; getting a good parking spot; finishing those letters you've been putting off.
The whole point of this exercise is to "create" the day you desire for yourself – the day that will make you happy, content and at peace with everyone. In the last couple of minutes before you do leap into action; just visit your "happy place", revel in the memories of the moment. By the time you are ready to jump into the shower and begin this day, your mind will already be in the place it needs to be for this day to be successful, happy and purposeful. Do it every day and then every day your creations will occur. It's that simple.
I want to finish today with one final thought: You don't need any other person's validation to be happy. Nothing anyone can say or think about you should ever make you either happy or unhappy. We are the architects of our own lives – not other people. Stop letting other people's opinions, words or actions rob you of your happiness! You are you and you stand alone, complete, and unique in yourself. You can be happy regardless of what others think of you. I want to give you a really good example of what I mean here. This blog that I lovingly compile every week is a perfect example. I have no idea how many people actually read it (I do know how many people visit my site, but I don't know exactly what they read). Now that should upset and worry me, under conventional thinking. I mean, what is the point of writing and sweating my thoughts onto paper, if nobody actually cares enough to want to read them.
BUT truly it doesn't matter to me. I write this blog first and foremost because it is my passion – it's what makes me happy – It is one of my happy places that I love to visit. I don't need the validation of others to make this exercise worthwhile for me. Of course, I'm human and I love it when someone takes the time to tell me that I touched them, or I made a difference (and a couple have, which is amazing) but the bottom line is, if the only person that ever read this was me, I'd still be happy. I want to make a difference in my own small way; but my worth and my happiness is not dependent on the validation of other people, or their opinions of what I do.
BECAUSE I CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY! GIVE IT A TRY – IT'S AWESOME!
Wow! I got some fantastic ideas from this. It's so easy to let the worries of the day drown out our happiness, but we have to CHOOSE it – I love that. Thank you.
Great tips to be had. I've learnt a lot from your series. Love it!


"…Many will say turn away – away from this man, for he is not a man but a demon, a monster, a subverter and an enemy of the black man – and we will smile. They will say that he is of hate – a fanatic, a racist – who can only bring evil to the cause for which you struggle! And we will answer and say to them : Did you ever talk to Brother Malcolm? Did you ever touch him, or have him smile at you? Did you ever really listen to him? Did he ever do a mean thing? Was he ever himself associated with violence or any public disturbance? For if you did you would know him. And if you knew him you would know why we must honor him.
Davis's words ring true today, as some continue to revile Malcolm and would like us to forget him. Yet today there are also those who celebrate him but deny his Blackness and would like us to deny our own. And there are still others who love him yet deny his Muslim identity. At Sapelo Square we honor him today as he was: Black and Muslim. We know that his spirituality motivated and gave shape to his commitments to Black Liberation. And we know that his commitments to freedom, justice and equality demonstrate the highest levels of spiritual enlightenment. As noted in the Qur'anic verse above, according to Muslim tradition we know he is a martyr and a friend of God, who continues to inspire the world.


Unless you're at some fancy-pants brick-oven place, face it: all pizzas are pretty much the same.
Yeah, you could throw some different toppings on the pie, but if you're ordering from your local shop or, worse, a national chain, the flavors you taste aren't all indistinguishable from pizzeria to pizzeria.
That's why you need bánh tráng nuong in your life. This Vietnamese "pizza" is crispy, spicy, porky, and so simple to cook that it takes less time than ordering delivery.
When I first encountered the meal, I was in Vietnam on a mission to eat as much street food as humanly possible. At first I snubbed the suggestion from a local guide to get some pizza for a snack, until I looked down and saw a petite woman grilling thin sheets of rice paper on a tin can filled with charcoal. She was armed with a bottle of Sriracha and a basket of quail eggs, scallions, pork, and red chiles, and she turned out little half circles of the Vietnamese snack by the minute.
It's a far cry from anything you'll find at a pizzeria—and that's a (really) good thing.
Heat your grill to medium-high. Place the rice paper directly on the grill, and add the scallion, bacon, and butter in the center. Crack the egg over the ingredients and use the back of a spoon to blend the mixture together, spreading it to cover the whole sheet of rice paper. Grill for one minute or until the egg sets. Top with fried shallots or chili flakes (optional), and grill until the rice paper is extra crisp. Drizzle with sriracha, fold the rice paper in half, and remove from grill with tongs. Serve hot, wrapped in a folded magazine page for authenticity. Makes 1 serving.

CSA Cybersecurity Innovation Day 2020
Group photo with guest speakers and 9 awardees of the 2019 Cybersecurity Call for Innovation
ICE71 is proud to be a supporting partner of the second and virtual edition of CSA Cybersecurity Innovation Day on 30th July. The event saw highlights including exciting pitches by 2019 Cybersecurity Call for Innovation Awardees, with two ICE71-affiliated start-ups Scantist and Amaris.AI participating. It also provided opportunities for real-time, 1-1 business meetings with awardees, on top of enriching sessions featuring a keynote by security and AI expert Prof Dawn Song.
An initiative by the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA), powered by TNB Ventures, the online half-day event started off with a warm welcome by Guest-of-Honour Mr David Koh, CSA Chief Executive. Mr Michael Yap, Managing Partner, TNB Ventures then shared the journey and insights from the 2019 Cybersecurity Call for Innovation.
The main highlight of the day was the pitching session by 9 innovative cybersecurity companies who won the Call for Innovation award. Scantist, an ICE71 Accelerate alum, and Amaris.AI, an ICE71 Scale start-up, pitched their solutions together with other awardees. The innovations pitched were diverse, covering advanced malware forensics, adversarial attack on AI, OT protection, threat intelligence, data access security, application security, endpoint protection, and autonomous vehicle security.
Prof Liu Yang of Scantist pitching about the start-up's software application security solution
Scantist is a local start-up spun off from years of R&D, with a focus on application security. In the presentation about their awarded project on AI enabled application security testing framework, Prof Liu Yang, CEO and co-founder of Scantist, spoke about the significance of application security: "With the trend of digitisation, software is everywhere from websites, mobile apps to IoT applications. Software applications are critical means for delivering value of products and services. But the reliance on applications also means that they need to be secure." Prof Liu shared that application security remains to be challenging amid a fast-paced, ever-evolving attack landscape, coupled with the lack of deep security expertise. "Infamous incidences around Panama Papers, Equifax, and Heartbleed arising from application-level breaches have led to substantial financial and reputational loss," he said.
Amaris.AI's Prof Yu Chien Siang giving an introduction on known adversarial attacks against AI
Amaris.AI, a full-stack AI start-up, provides a solution for adversarial attack on artificial intelligence. Prof Yu Chien Siang, Chief Innovation Officer of Amaris.AI, gave interesting examples on how AI can be fooled, including one that talks pandas and gibbons: "See the panda. You will see that if we add a little bit of unperceivable perturbation, the AI will be fooled and upended, and the panda 'becomes' a gibbon." He cautioned on the security risks of current AI systems: "Almost all AI systems deployed now are without defences, if aggressively targeted, they will all be badly subverted, and these AI will also be automating such attacks." Prof Yu urged the audience to think about potential impact in areas using AI, like autonomous cars and immigration biometrics.
Prof Dawn Song of Oasis Labs speaking about responsible data economy in the age of AI
It was great to see homegrown cybersecurity start-ups in the line-up of awardees, such as Amaris.AI and Scantist which are in the ICE71 inner circle, as well as Insider Security, a start-up that provides detection of unauthorised access to patient data – a relevant cybersecurity solution for healthcare IT systems.
Keynote speaker Prof Dawn Song, who also has her own start-up Oasis Labs, spoke passionately about the importance of privacy preserving data access in the age of machine learning, in her session on challenges and future direction for AI. She said, "Data needs to be protected not only at rest and in transit, but also when in use and in compute."
There was also a fireside chat with students featuring Prof Song, a presentation by AiSP on security by design, and an IMDA sharing on opportunities for cybersecurity start-ups in the SME market.
The virtual event was a truly insightful experience. We look forward to more of such cybersecurity entrepreneurship initiatives in the future!

Q: Neural Network learn limits I was wondering if there is a way to know the limits of how much can an associative neural network learn.
I want to make a simple network that recognises a few words, maybe even correct them(if i input 'betwen' to know that i meant 'between')
If someone has interesting articles please post them.
Thanks

A: Multilayer Feed Forward Neural Networks are Universal Aproximators
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_approximation_theorem
This means that with a Multilayer Feed Forward Neural Network you can approximate any function f(x) with a empirical function F(x) with an error epsilon.
If your input is a image or a binary matrix with the word "between", then you have to set the input layer with your representation and train with examples with your train and test data.
A simple idea could be clustering the input space with k-means to detect the characters, apply a ocr detection and ensemble the word.
A more complicated method can be developed, such like

Q: IBM watson Discovery + Conversation I followed the demo shown here. Everything works fine in the demo. But when I tried to use my discovery collection, it gave the error "Service seems to be down. Please try again after sometime or Please check the logs" and the local (wlp) server stopped. See the console log below. Where is the problem?
I used the workspace as used in the demo and changed the "Out-of-scope" intent questions. It retrieves answers from the conversation but not from the discovery?

Action Summary The Regulations Governing Educational Services for Gifted Students were last approved in 1993, with an effective date of February 1995. Those regulations specify what gifted education services school divisions in the Commonwealth of Virginia shall provide students from kindergarten through graduation. The regulations speak to the area(s) of giftedness to be served, the identification of students in the selected area(s) of service, the criteria for screening and identification, the components of local plan that each division must have approved by the Department of Education, the assurances the school division must provide to the department regarding elements within the local plan, and provisions of use of state funds designated for division-wide gifted education services. The proposed revisions will allow the Virginia Board of Education to review contemporary research and best practices in the field that have occurred in the last decade and to ensure that Virginia's regulations are consistent with that information.

The House of Lords has been told it would help homeless people as fewer people carry cash.
Forced to sleep in temperatures as cold as -15.4C, rough sleepers are among the worst affected by the cold weather that has hit the UK.
According to homeless charity Crisis, rough sleepers are 17 times more likely to experience horrifying abuse than the general public.
Life expectancy for the homeless is nearly half that for people in stable housing.
The festive period is a time for giving, so what can we do for homeless people to make Christmas time more bearable?
Martha Culley from Northampton was so moved by the plight of one rough sleeper, she decided to do something about it herself.
Hull's Raise the Roof charity says it has had no explanation why the Royal Hotel cancelled its booking.
Artists have carved a 3.5 metre tall ice Christmas tree in Manchester inviting the public to donate gifts to homeless people.
The competition gives participants hope and the opportunity to shape a new life for themselves.


This is an original multi layer production cel setup from the Walt Disney Studios production The Saga of Windwagon Smith (1961). This setup features a view of the wagon as seen from the bar window. It was created at the studio and used during production, representing an actual frame of animation that was photographed and appears in the cartoon. The overall measurements of the piece are 15" x 17.5" and the image itself measures 11.5" x 14.75". The cel is in good condition with very slight paint lifting on left edge and bottom purple band.


WHAT BETTER THAN A HOMEMADE PIZZA? BESIDES, ITALY IS KNOWN FOR 2 THINGS: PIZZA AND WINE!
In a bowl, mix tomato sauce, oregano and red pepper. Apply the mixture over the flattened pizza dough. Cover with the half grated mozzarella.
Spread prosciutto, mushrooms and onion evenly and sprinkle with the rest of the mozzarella.
Brush the dough crust with olive oil and sprinkle with the grated parmesan cheese.
Place the pizza on baking paper sheet and bake until the cheese gets a golden color, about 10 to 12 minutes.
While the pizza is in the oven, put the rocket, 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a little salt in a small bowl and mix it up.
Remove the pizza from the oven. Let it cool for 5 minutes and then apply the rocket mix. Cut the pizza and serve it warm or at room temperature.

Q: How to open "My Computer" using QFileDialog Am using like this
QFileDialog dialog;
dialog.setDirectory("::{645ff040-5081-101b-9f08-00aa002f954e}");

Is there is any other way to open "MY Computer" ?

A: I tried with Qt 4.8 and:
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    QFileDialog diag(0, "A dialog");
    diag.setDirectory( "My Computer" );
    diag.setModal(true);
    diag.exec();

    return app.exec();
}

worked fine.
My system language is Spanish and using the My Computer string worked, so I think this will work with any other system language too.
Please note that the string must be "My Computer" or it won't work. So things like My computer or MyComputer are discarded.


We need to help take part in the final push to make AMANDA SHRIBMAN Barnet's first WEP councillor!
We will be needing volunteers throughout the day to leaflet and knock on doors! Any time you can give us would be really supportive. We will set some specific meeting times/points closer to the date, but if you let us know as soon as you can that you can help, then we can plan our day.


We combined the highest-rated banana breads on our site to create our ultimate version: a sweet, nutty, and supremely moist loaf ready for lunch boxes, quick breakfasts, and easy desserts.
You can substitute braised short rib, pork shoulder, or brisket for the pastrami—if it's fatty and shreddable, it will make a good hash.
