The Irish fossil Polyplacophora
Julia Sigwart
Three species of fossil polyplacophoran molluscs are known from Ireland. Two species were originally described in the nineteenth century: Helminthochiton griffithi Salter in M'Coy, 1846 and Pterochiton thomondiensis (Baily, 1859), and an articulated specimen representing a third indeterminate species, described here for the first time. Previous work on the evolutionary context of these species has relied on published illustrations and descriptions without examination of the type material. as chitons are considered rare in the fossil record, these specimens represent an interesting and important aspect of Irish palaeobiology.

Congratulations to all of our students who participated in the Math League last week in Prescott.
Thank you Sophia and Myleene for taking the team. Thank you Pedro for having the advanced math class and working with the students. Congrats!


A true casino champion learns from their losing streaks. They turn these seemingly unfortunate events into yet another winning opportunity.
Instead of sulking over their beds and wondering what went wrong, they use the experience they gained to improve their skills. They identify their weaknesses and do something about it.
One of the greatest lessons that champions get from losing streaks is never to depend fully on luck. What they do in return, is build strong strategies so that they will never be at the mercy of Lady Luck again.
A losing streak can be a bitter experience, there is no doubt about that. However, it is also through this that champions have easily played past through their rivals.

A smarter way to vote
// Published July 10, 2008 in Press Telegram, Long Beach, CA
Long Beach council wisely is taking a look at instant-runoff system.
Looking forward to the fourth election in less than a year? Surely not, unless your name's on the ballot.
Long Beach City Clerk Larry Herrera has a solution to excess elections that could save money, reduce voter fatigue, improve turnout and make it possible to vote our consciences every time.
That last point is the most appealing. Remember the time you refrained from voting for Ross Perot, Ralph Nader, a Green candidate or Libertarian because it would have been a "wasted" vote? That's the real waste.
Marginal candidates don't have much of a chance under the present system, because there is an implicit risk. If you "waste" your vote on a fringe candidate, you could unintentionally help your least favorite candidate win. There is a better way.
It's instant runoff. In this system, adopted by San Francisco, Oakland and San Leandro, voters select their first, second and third choices. If no candidate gets a majority in the first round, the process continues until there is a winner.
In partisan races, this eliminates the possibility of a third party candidate "spoiling" matters by taking enough votes from one candidate to cause a less favored one to win. In rare instances, it can result in the election of a minor-party candidate.
City Clerk Herrera and Gautam Dutta of the New America Foundation gave members of the City Council's Elections Oversight
Committee a presentation this week on the advantages of instant runoff. Council members asked a few logical questions about recent investments in equipment and the cost of informing voters, then asked Herrera to return later with more specifics about costs.
The idea is worth pursuing. Costs are an issue, but savings are greater, and voter education is a task, although it has been manageable in cities that have implemented it. Exit polls in San Francisco by Pacific Research Institute showed 87 percent of voters understood the new system fairly well or very well, and 61 percent liked it better than the old one.
San Francisco spent $750,000 educating voters on the change, but Long Beach could do it for much less, and recoup most of the expenses in savings. Even if it did cost more rather than less, the benefits are clear.
Among the few opponents to instant runoffs are staff people who conduct elections and don't like change.
Long Beach is fortunate to have a city clerk open to finding ways to make the system fairer and more efficient. Council members would be wise to listen to him.

The Hong Kong Senior Government Officers Association was found in 1958. In our early days, we strive to struggle against the inequalities in benefits and conditions of service between local and expatriate (mainly British) civil servants. Through the cumulative efforts of our past Chairmen and Council Members in the past years, we are able to enjoy nowadays better benefits and more equitable terms of service.
We would like to extend our thanks to all past Chairmen and all the previous Councils. It 's through their selfless contribution that we can enjoy having a fair and just Government as our employer.
The Hong Kong Senior Government Officers Association, together with the Association of Expatriate Civil of Expatriate Civil Servant and the Hong Kong Chinese Civil Servant Association, formed the Staff Side of the Senior Civil Service Council since 1968. The Staff Side communicated with the Administration on behalf of civil servants it represents. Through our negotiations with the Administration, tremendous improvements had been made on various aspects of staff benefits and conditions of service, which included salaries, housing benefits, as well as medical and dental benefits. Representatives from the Association play an important role in the Central Consultative Machinery of the Government.
Our members come from different Government departments. They are managers, executives and professionals (e.g. engineers, architects, doctors, judges, lawyers, surveyors, teachers, administrative officers and executive officers), as well as senior Directorate grade civil servants (e.g. assistant directors, directors and secretaries).
We'll continue to work towards the three founding objectives of the Association:
1. To protect the benefits and rights of local senior civil servants not employed under expatriate terms
2. To improve the conditions of service of members fulfilling the above criteria
3. To act as a channel of communication between members and the Administration
The Association places great emphasis on membership benefits. We had reached agreement with several public utility companies to waive the deposits of our members. We had also designed special benefits packages for our members with the co-operation of several banks, hotels, airlines and retailers.
We have to thank for the support of our enthusiastic Chairmen, Council members and members in the past years, and have to thank also for all the encouragement from outside the Association. Looking into the future, we expect ourselves to have more contact and co-operation with the Administration in order to strive for a more reasonable level of benefits and conditions of service for our members. This will enable our members to focus on their daily work and contribute their best to serve the Government and citizens of the Special Administrative Region.

PADRES: Potential sale brings much uncertainty
By DAN HAYES - Staff Writer
SAN DIEGO -- The Padres are oozing with uncertainty thismonth.
Jeff Moorad, a former sports agent and Arizona Diamondbacks CEO,is working on a deal to purchase the Padres from John Moores.
But everything else is up in the air, from the sale price towhat percentage of the team is being sold to whether or not Mooreswill still have a stake in ownership to the club's CEO, a positioncurrently held by Sandy Alderson.
Moorad resigned from his position with the Diamondbacks earlierthis month because negotiations had progressed far enough thatMajor League Baseball determined he couldn't remain as CEO if hewanted to pursue a purchase of the Padres.
Some estimates have Moorad and a group of investors attemptingto buy the club for $400 million, a figure several baseball sourcesestimated as too low considering the real estate around Petco Parkowned by Moores' JMI Inc. that likely would be included in a sale.Forbes estimated the Padres' franchise value at $385 million lastApril.
Moorad, who couldn't be reached for comment, previously said hehoped to complete the transaction within the first quarter of 2009.Neither Moores nor Alderson responded to several requests to beinterviewed.
"It's hard," said one member of the Padres' front office whospoke on condition of anonymity. "We're all in a holding pattern.Everything said is pure speculation."
That includes Alderson's role.
Some reports have Alderson not returning as the Padres' CEO -- aposition he has held since 2005 -- after the 2009 season. Severalsources in and around the organization speculated that Aldersonwon't return next season because he and Moorad hold the sameposition. The Padres already have one of the largest front officesin all of baseball, including Alderson, general manager KevinTowers, special assistant to baseball operations Paul DePodesta,vice president of scouting and player development Grady Fuson andseveral other prominent figures.
"The Padres' front office seems to have been top heavy already,and to add Moorad, given how he did things in Arizona, which washands on, you would expect him to be hands on here as well," saidone industry source who spoke on the condition of anonymity. "Idon't know how (Sandy) would fit."
Moores, the team's owner since 1994, will still have a stake inthe team, according to several sources. Moorad said in a conferencecall earlier this month that he would be the majority owner.However, several insiders said Moores will remain in control of theclub for several more seasons.
Even if a sale is completed by the end of March, it is notexpected to dramatically alter the club's plans for 2009.

Tony winner Nathan Lane is the latest Hollywood celebrity to host a fundraiser for President Barack Obama's re-election campaign. Lane, famous for his well received stage work in "The Producers" and "The Odd Couple," isn't opening up his own home for the event as did Sarah Jessica Parker. He's still lending his considerable Broadway star power for the cause.
Nathan Lane will host an Obama fund-raiser attended by Vice President Joe Biden at the Bridgehampton home of Ellen Chesler and Matthew Mallow.
The Aug. 24 event, called East End for Obama, will feature a performance by James Taylor, and hosts include actress Julianne Moore, "Sopranos" star Edie Falco and Jane Holzer….
Tickets range from $500 to $10,000 to join the host committee and get a photo with Biden.


Trump's overall job-approval rating in the poll stands at 45 percent among registered voters - up 1 point from June - while 52 percent of voters disapprove of his job.That stability in Trump's numbers stands out given the controversies and news over the past month - the separated families at the border, Trump's contentious North Atlantic Treaty Organisation meetings, his less contentious meeting with Russia's Vladimir Putin - says Republican pollster Bill McInturff, who conducted this survey with Democratic pollsters Peter Hart and Fred Yang."These numbers don't budge", McInturff said.
'Following his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, President Trump's job approval is back below 40 percent again, ' he said.
Putin acknowledged he wanted Trump to win the 2016 presidential race during a joint news conference with Trump after their July 16 summit in Helsinki. We must put aside the GOP label, as hard as that may be, and demonstrate the leadership our country needs by calling on the president to step down. "They definitely don't want Trump!" the US President wrote on Twitter.
Gowdy didn't answer directly, but said Trump had access to more evidence than anyone and specifically mentioned Trump's access to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, FBI Director Christopher Wray, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, and United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, all of whom Trump nominated for those roles.
Jordan Spieth admits his barber cut a little too close for his short back and sides on Saturday morning (Richard Sellers/PA). Woods shot 66 and is in a tie for sixth place with six more players, including Rory McIlroy (70) and Tommy Fleetwood (71).
Putin should have given Trump the chance to tell US media that he had extracted concessions from him in a "giveaway game", staying focused on the longer-term goal of stabilizing ties between Moscow and Washington, Markov said on his Facebook page. Among Republicans who were polled, 51 percent said they think so.
A CBS News poll showed even heavier disapproval of how Trump handled the Putin meeting, with 55 percent giving Trump's behavior at the meeting in Helsinki, Finland, a thumbs-down - while 32 percent sat they approved of Trump's interactions with Putin. And overall, 37 percent of USA adults think Russia's meddling transformed the 2016 election results.
Trump has continued speaking about Russian Federation since his meeting with Putin. Almost half of respondents - 47 percent - said Trump is guiding the nation's foreign policy toward negative consequences. The poll was conducted days before that tweet.
According to reports , Cristiano Ronaldo was spending his post-World Cup holidays in Greece with girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez and his son.
The 65-kilometre (40-mile) route from Bagneres-de-Luchon features three grueling climbs and hardly a stretch of flat road. The only thing lacking from the wild 16th stage of the Tour de France on Tuesday was a shakeup in the overall standings.
The counting of votes will be done on the spot soon after polling is concluded and results will be announced within 24 hours. Meanwhile, Hanif Abbasi, a candidate for the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) was jailed for life by an anti-narcotics court.

Germanwings Flight 9525 co-pilot Andreas Lubitz allegedly lied to doctors about being on a sick leave when he sought medical attention for an eye condition, Reuters reported on Thursday, citing German newspaper Bild. The 27-year-old is suspected of deliberately crashing the plane in the French Alps on March 24.
The paper, citing sources from the investigation, claimed that Lubitz concealed the fact that he was still working as a pilot. Investigators probing the crash also reportedly claimed that Lubitz was involved in a car crash, which allegedly occurred in late 2014, following which he was suffering from trauma and vision problems, Reuters reported.
Investigators, who are trying to determine why Lubitz might have intentionally caused the crash, have not found any suicide note in Lubitz's apartment in Dusseldorf or his parents' house in Montabaur. Lufthansa had acknowledged Tuesday that Lubitz experienced a "deep depressive episode" while he was attending flight-training school in 2009, but that he had passed all his medical checks since. Authorities also revealed that he had been treated for suicidal tendencies years before the crash.
Meanwhile, recovery teams, who have been working to find the plane's debris and the flight data recorder, have found several cellphones at the crash site, Lt. Col. Jean-Marc Menichini, a French military spokesman, said Thursday, according to the Associated Press.
The phones have not yet been thoroughly examined, and have so far failed to provide any clues. French magazine Paris-Match reported earlier this week that they had obtained a cellphone video showing the final moments of Flight 9525. However, investigators have denied the existence of any such video.
The Airbus A320 was traveling from Barcelona to Dusseldorf when it crashed in the remote of southern France with 150 people on board. Authorities reportedly said that no bodies were found intact at the crash site.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt's acting career has managed to garner a massive popular appeal while maintaining a widely respected artistic integrity. He starred in the Academy Award-nominated Inception, one of the highest grossing films of 2010, earning over $800 million world-wide, and received Golden Globe, Independent Spirit and People's Choice award nominations for his performance in 2009's (500) Days of Summer. 2012 films include Looper starring opposite Bruce Willis; The Dark Knight Rises, the third installment in Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy; and Stephen Spielberg's Lincoln. 2013 will see the much-anticipated release of Don Jon's Addiction, written, directed by, and starring Joseph.

La chiesa di Santa Cristina è una delle chiese principali della città di Torino, sita in piazza San Carlo, nel centro storico della città. Assieme alla vicina chiesa "gemella" di San Carlo, posta ad ovest di via Roma (che separa, di fatto, i due edifici), essa delimita il lato sud della piazza stessa, in direzione di piazza Carlo Felice e della stazione di Torino Porta Nuova. È dedicata a Santa Cristina di Bolsena.

Storia
La chiesa nacque per volontà della reggente di Piemonte Maria Cristina di Francia, che acquistò nel 1639 i terreni sui quali sorge l'attuale tempio, voluto in memoria del figlioletto primogenito appena deceduto, Francesco Giacinto di Savoia.
Il progetto comunque, fece parte di un più esteso ampliamento urbano oltre la primitiva cinta muraria della città verso sud, il cosiddetto Borgo Nuovo, già iniziato con la costruzione dell'asse della "Via Nuova" (l'attuale Via Roma), oltre che della costruzione dell'attuale Piazza San Carlo (all'epoca Piazza Reale o Place Royale) e la costruzione, senza facciata, dell'adiacente chiesa "gemella" (ovvero quella dedicata a San Carlo, del 1619).

Il progetto e i lavori della chiesa furono iniziati da Carlo di Castellamonte nel 1639, che però morì un anno dopo, e il cantiere fu proseguito dal figlio Amedeo. Sul retro della chiesa, il proseguimento della "Via Nuova", con la cosiddetta piccola piazzetta detta "delle due chiese", poi rimaneggiata da Marcello Piacentini nel 1937 e rinominata Piazza C.L.N. nel 1946, con la fontana-statua della Dora Riparia attaccata al retro della stessa chiesa, opera di Umberto Baglioni.
Sul lato orientale invece, la stessa Madama Cristina (devota a questa chiesa tanto da esservi sepolta qui nel 1674), volle adibire un convento, poi occupato dalle carmelitane scalze; degna di nota fu la permanenza qui della monaca beata Maria degli Angeli Fontanella.
Nel 1641 i lavori della chiesa si arrestarono e l'edificio rimase privo di facciata. Nel 1666, Giacomo Casella, con il cognato Giovanni Andrea, terminò gli affreschi interni della volta.

Il completamento della facciata si concretizzò soltanto sotto il regno di Vittorio Amedeo II di Savoia tra il 1715 e il 1718, con il progetto di Filippo Juvarra. Fu disegnata in puro barocco, a due ordini sovrapposti fu considerata la prima opera torinese dell'architetto messinese, caratterizzata dall'andamento curvilineo della parte centrale, dove spiccano il ricco portale eccentrico a due battenti e la grande finestra ovale. La composizione architettonica è scandita dal ritmo serrato delle colonne e delle lesene ed è arricchita dalle statue di santi, tra cui Santa Cristina e Santa Teresa di Giuseppe Salvatore Caresana, scolpite in sostituzione di quelle ordinate nel 1715 dallo Juvarra allo scultore francese Pierre Legros, e le allegorie delle virtù; tutte le statue furono opere del 1717, di Carlo Antonio Tantardini e Giuseppe Salvatore Caresana.

Con le secolarizzazioni napoleoniche, nel 1802, la chiesa di Santa Cristina venne trasformata in Borsa di Commercio e l'adiacente convento fu soppresso. Soltanto con la Restaurazione, il tempio fu riconsacrato e, per volontà di Vittorio Emanuele I di Savoia, fu abbellito di nuovi marmi e un nuovo altare, opera di Ferdinando Bonsignore. In questo periodo fu chiamata anche "chiesa delle Serve" poiché vi si teneva una messa domenicale nel primo pomeriggio, molto frequentata dalle persone di servizio delle famiglie dei numerosi palazzi signorili circostanti, le quali avevano la domenica la loro mezza giornata di libertà ma dovevano rientrare presso le famiglie loro datrici di lavoro entro le ore 16.
Con il rifacimento di via Roma, negli anni del fascismo, la chiesa venne ancora trasformata, privata di alcuni finestroni e del convento adiacente, che fu completamente demolito per la costruzione degli attuali palazzi, che la connettono alla piazzetta retrostante (Piazza C.L.N.) e l'abside venne quasi totalmente rifatta..
Nel 1960 invece, venne rinnovato quasi completamente l'altare maggiore del Bonsignore e tutte le cappelle laterali.

Il 26 febbraio 2017, è crollato un pezzo di cornicione di marmo esterno retrostante della chiesa, frantumandosi sulla statua-fontana della Dora di Piazza C.L.N., fortunatamente senza vittime né grossi danni.

Interno

L'interno si presenta a una sola navata, ricca di decorazioni barocche del XVIII secolo. L'ingresso è sovrastato da una cantoria dotata di cinque pannelli del XVIII secolo rappresentanti scene della vita di san Michele.
Il soffitto è a volta a botte decorato da stucchi di motivi floreali e figure di angeli, opera di Pietro Somasso. Nel soffitto inoltre sono rappresentate, in nove riquadri, le vicende del Martirio di santa Cristina di Bolsena, affreschi di Antonio Mari. Il pulpito è una pregevole opera in legno dorato e stile tardo barocco. Le 14 stazioni della Via Crucis, in quadri ovali, sono opera di Luigi Morgari.

Presbiterio
Il presbiterio, il cui ingresso è marcato da un arco a tutto sesto, con in chiave lo stemma sabaudo, è delimitato da una elegante balaustra settecentesca in marmo. Contiene un sontuoso altare in marmi policromi, opera ottocentesca del Bonsignore. L'organo antico, sito dietro l'altare, è un capolavoro dell'organaro napoletano Liborio Grisante e risale al 1748. L'organo è sovrastato da un quadro del XVII secolo, Il martirio di santa Cristina di Bolsena.

Altari laterali
L'altare di destra è dedicato al Sacro Cuore di Maria, con un quadro della Madonna del Rosario, due reliquiari e due angeli in peltro. Sulla sinistra è venerata la Santa titolare della chiesa.
L'altare di sinistra è dedicato a san Giuseppe e l'ancona rappresenta il patrocinio del santo su Torino, opera di Ferdinando Cavalleri. Anche su questo altare sono posti due reliquiari e due angeli in peltro. Alla sinistra dell'altare il pregevole Riposo dalla fuga in Egitto, di Antonio Domenico Triva, raffigurante il santo che porge con gesto paterno un melograno al Bambin Gesù, in grembo alla Madonna.

What 'The Bachelorette' has done for tourism
The show's contestants often end up in some far-flung destination. But has Bimini, Latvia or that sex windmill in Greece received a boost in tourism since being featured? Tricia Gilbride investigates.
Words: Tricia Gilbride
Artwork: Jonathan Amaya
There is nothing more exhausting than breaking up with someone who won't even let you speak. But drop the whole exchange on the Greek island of Santorini, and 23 seasons of The Bachelor and 15 seasons of The Bachelorette begin to make a little more sense.
Telling off a slut-shaming suitor on the most recent season, Bachelorette Hannah B. declares, "I have had sex and Jesus still loves me." In confessionals, she righteously brags about the Fantasy Suite rendezvous with Pilot Pete. "I fucked in a windmill, and guess what? We did it a second time." It's precisely the kind of dramatic confrontation the franchise thrives on in which the virtuous quest for the ultimate prize, true love, is blanketed in absurdity and aspiration. On my couch, I consider the logistics of renting an entire windmill.
The Bachelor is a travel show disguised as a dating show. Of the 30 or so contestants each season, most who make it past the first Rose Ceremony will, at the very least, venture outside the mansion and see a bit of California, journeying from hot tub to hot tub. Then the whole gang relocates to a stateside destination or two, perhaps a ski lodge in Utah. The survivors go international to suffer foreign indignities, like competitive miming in Paris for the opportunity to spend more than five minutes alone with the woman they all call their girlfriend. From there, the top four contenders play host in their hometowns, making the very best case they can for potentially living or at least spending holidays in Hoxie, Arkansas or Huntington Beach, CA. Fantasy Suites, in which the Bachelor or Bachelorette have the opportunity to spend the night with their top contenders, amp up the drama, housing the lovers in luxury glass igloos, for one. Finally, whoever remains meets up in one last jaw-dropping exotic locale for the Final Rose Ceremony. Conversely, only one contestant walks away with requited love, if even that.
The now-famous windmill is available to book on Airbnb for a reasonable $56 USD a night if you can make your way to Nikithianos, Greece. The couple offering the unique property for rent, Giorgios and Athina, cozy up in a selfie included in the listing, like a Bachelor success story. Renters have to descend a set of exterior stairs to get to the bathroom from the lovers' lair, which is probably a plus if you find yourself in a foreign country sharing a bed for the first time with someone who has a 25% chance of imminently proposing.
There are currently only four reviews for the windmill, but since I viewed the listing, increasingly urgent emails from Airbnb tell me to move fast, bookings are expected to go up by 100%. Most destinations featured on the show will at least see a significant digital spike in interest, but whether or not that actually translates into actual tourism depends on a few factors.
The likability of the Bachelor or Bachelorette at the heart of the season matters some. Jade Mountain, a resort in St. Lucia, has hosted the show twice and a couple of foreign spin-offs with mixed results. After Jake Pavelka's season, visitors mentioned discovering the resort through the show, according to a representative for the resort. Cartoon villain Juan Pablo's drama distracted from the locale, however, and Jade Mountain reports "no economic benefit" from hosting his season.
On the other hand, Bachelor Nation's most popular couple, Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici, got engaged at Pa Sak Tong resort in Thailand. John Dunbar, the General Manager of the resort worked closely with the show's crew, and says there hasn't been a noticeable impact. "We have had American guests arrive and recognise the resort immediately from the episode and then take various selfies in the bed that Sean and Catherine stayed in," he says. "But no bookings were generated as a result of filming here."
Still, they have a page dedicated to the Bachelor connection on their website, and even "have the full episode available for viewing in the entertainment room for guests to enjoy with popcorn!"
"We have had American guests arrive and recognise the resort immediately from the episode and then take various selfies in the bed that Sean and Catharine stayed in, but no bookings were generated as a result of filming here" – John Dunbar
This is, in part, probably a matter of commitment level. Checking out a bar you saw on television stateside isn't quite the same investment as hopping continents to book a pricey Fantasy Suite worthy room at a resort. But it can come down to the contract, and tourist destinations get what they pay for.
The Bachelor set up shop at Pa Sak Tong for a discounted rate and didn't get so much as a namecheck during the actual program, but plenty of countries' tourism boards are happy to throw down a few figures for the exposure. Contracts might specify that certain shots of landmarks or mentions from the talent make it into the final broadcast or social media posts.
Park City, Utah is one of them. According to Dan Howard, Director of Communications at Visit Park City, the short distance from LA makes for a convenient ongoing partnership. Montage Deer Valley ski resort and OP Rockwell, a bar offering "Western-meets-Victorian speakeasy" ambiance, have been popular among fans, but the biggest hit was the official Bachelor Nation meetup televised live during the premiere of Colton Underwood's season. "There are very few ways for a town to be 'woven in' to be a backdrop for a highly-rated national television program," says Howard, but The Bachelor is one of them.
It's not always a fit. Some locations are just too goth for the conservative franchise, like the Edgar Allan Poe Museum in Richmond, Virginia. The unique date setup made great TV, but the museum has had better luck attracting viewers of more on-brand projects like The Raven and The Following, which are both murder mysteries incorporating Poe himself. A Bachelorette date activity inspired by the collection's portrait of Poe made from human blood was, perhaps wisely, cut from the broadcast. But according to curator Chris Semtner, there was one clear breakout star.
"People spotted Edgar, the Poe Museum cat, when he ran through one of the shots," he says. "The camera was at cat level and got a good shot of him. Since then, some of our guests told us they saw him on the show and wanted to meet him during their visits. He is now our resident celebrity."
Increasingly, the franchise is attempting to jump off the screen, and fan meetups like the one in Park City are just the beginning. The recently-announced Bachelor Live Tour will bring the show to a few dozen cities across the United States, with former contestants helping locals find love on stage. It's not hard to imagine they're testing the waters for a Bachelor Nation cruise, creating a self-contained ecosystem for the fandom. Meanwhile on our televisions, they'll be sure to set up dates so perplexing viewers have no choice but to assume it must be romantic on some level. Fine dining on a submarine somewhere under the Arctic Ocean while a country singer serenades you mere footsteps away? Sure.

Do you remember how it was at the beginning?
And then, face to face, the charm and beauty feel quirky. And you're left uncertain. Perhaps you fell too quickly? (It's happened before.) Or perhaps you're just nervous at the prospect of something new. But here you are, in this situation, strolling through town together (even running errands!) and before you know it days have past. And it just feels so right, so natural.
But will my daughter feel the same way?
And this is the beginning. The beginning of me and the MicraLite.
And we say goodnight at the front door. And I rest my hand for a moment on her soft handlebar. And it's only later on, laying awake in bed, that my head begins to spin, the doubts creep in.
Is this really the one for me?
It's all so new, should I really take the plunge and bring her with me overseas? That's commitment.
And can she handle Jerusalem?
So sweet and petite, how will she handle the stone and dust? The stairs and crowds? Jerusalem, where eighteen-year-old girls carry machine guns and little old Bubbies push you out of the way. Land of the hardy.
How will you hold up?
A decision is made. Tomorrow we leave. I will tell you how it goes . . . this new affair. Will it last? Will it fall apart? Or is this one . . . for keeps?

Delicious in Delray: Celebrity chef opens Flybird chargrilled chicken restaurant
Liz Balmaseda
lbalmaseda@pbpost.com
Flybird is a jewel box of a fast-casual spot that's tucked into a nice-enough Delray Beach plaza, between a post office and a vegan cafe. It's a space of clean lines and eye-catching pop art, warmed by a few retro details.
The chargrilled chicken joint, which opened five months ago, may appear to be some kind of cool franchise, thanks to its snappy signage and well-focused menu. But then you spy the chef at the custom-built, firebrick-lined grill. He's back there, firing up oak, hickory and apple wood, and coaxing mesquite charcoal into workable embers for cooking chicken.
He's Michael Salmon, a veteran New York chef with Food Network bragging rights and relatively new Delray resident. He's a chef of many incarnations. (More on that in a minute.) When he opened the counter-service restaurant in late spring, he set out to cook the way he's always cooked for friends and family on weekends.
"Just feed me," his buddy Dana used to tell him when Salmon asked what the gang wanted for dinner. As in: I don't want to think. I've spent the week making decisions. Just feed me.
That's the mantra at Flybird -- "Just Feed Me" is the phrase emblazoned on the back of the t-shirts Salmon and his staff wear. It also makes an appearance in one of the colorful, Lichtenstein-esque prints adorning the walls. (The pop art and Flybird interiors were done by artist and digital designer Tone Stray, who is Salmon's wife.)
The menu's focus on chicken follows that "I don't want to think" idea.
"It's a weeknight. I'm hungry. I don't want to think of anything. Let's just go for chicken," says Salmon, explaining the concept during a Monday afternoon break.
The chef does the thinking for you in delicious ways: all manners of chargrilled chicken meals served with grilled flatbread and bright, kicky cilantro-jalapeño sauce, sandwiches, a chicken power meal bowl and a chicken pie, large entree salads and a mix of healthy and decadent sides (like grilled veggies, mashed potatoes and the seriously addictive potato chips he fries in peanut oil), plus house-made dessert that includes a refreshing mango-coconut-tapioca pudding.
Salmon makes a fried chicken sandwich he calls the Crunchy Frybird, served on a soft potato bun with slaw and chipotle mayo. He says it's his top-seller, a detail that should come as no surprise amid America's newfound crispy-chicken-sandwich obsession.

He makes everything at the shop, from soup to dessert. The portions are generous and the prices reasonable, with entrees ranging from about $10 to $15. A family chicken meal is just under $30.
Salmon says his centerpiece dishes all begin with premium chicken known as "never ever chicken." That means free-roaming birds never treated with antibiotics, hormones or steroids.
"I season it and it goes into the walk-in cooler under a fan for 24 to 36 hours. It's air chilling and drying. What happens is the seasoning goes into it, so you don't taste salt, pepper or whatever it is on the outside," says Salmon, who uses a proprietary blend of seasoning on the meat. "It's seasoned throughout."
He then grills the chicken over the various types of firewood and mesquite charcoal for that weekend cookout flavor.
"You could hark back to the first day you had chicken off a barbecue. The skin, even the burnt part, the flavor profile is magical to me," he says. "Anything on a charcoal grill is great."
But while Flybird's concept may be a casual one that might draw folks right off the beach, its chef is still very much a chef.
"I still do what I did in fine dining. I look at the plates as they come back to the kitchen, to see what's left over, what went right or wrong. I want a clean plate. I love bones just being devoured," says Salmon.
He has eight square feet of cooking space at Flybird and a million memories to fill them. His earliest food flashbacks date to early childhood Sundays spent at his grandparents' house, where the kitchen was stocked with Eastern European Jewish delicacies.
"Everything was fatty, with heavy cream and schmaltz. It all feels good in your mouth," he says. "I remember my grandfather would pick up some challah, dip it in the juices of a roast, whatever was in the oven, and put it in my mouth. I'd go goo-goo-ga-ga. All the aunts and grandmothers would say, 'Oh, he's so cute,' and I'm going, 'Wait a second -- food and love. I'm in!'"
That boy went on to have many culinary lives. As a young chef, he finessed dishes at a Manhattan hotspot called Arcadia. He cooked for Mayor Ed Koch for more than four years. He sizzled up dishes at Mickey Mantle's restaurant in New York while the Yankees great was still alive and might just wander into the kitchen with requests.
Salmon also has been a finalist on "Next Food Network Star" in 2007, a restaurant consultant and a talk radio personality who hosted a show called "Wild Salmon" on the now silent Air America radio network. In 2015, he opened a gourmet food hall (Locale Market) in St. Pete for celebrity chef Michael Mina.
At 65, Salmon has made his own concept his focus. Just over two years ago, he moved to Delray to be closer to family, including his daughter, Geri Salmon. She helped him launch Flybird and also assisted in keeping the concept authentic to his strengths. When he mentioned that he might put a side of coconut rice and beans on the menu, she gave him a reality check:
"Dad, you never make coconut rice and beans. Just do you."
It was a light-bulb moment, says Salmon. That's why he calls his pozole verde-inspired chicken and tomatillo soup "Mexican Vacation Soup." Because that's what it tastes like to him.
It's also why he makes a toasted barley and mushroom dish as one of his regular sides. It's a dish inspired by his days at the long-closed Arcadia in New York, back when the culinary cognoscenti raved about "New American" cooking. And now, many foodie trends later, his dish shares the menu proudly with the baked mac and cheese. There it is, a delicious flashback on a menu of new beginnings.

McLaren: Safety car hurt 'on the hunt" Sainz
McLaren Formula 1 boss Andreas Seidl says the late safety car period in the Sakhir GP robbed Carlos Sainz of a shot at a podium finish.
Seidl says the Spaniard was "on the hunt" on fresh tyres and was not able to use the potential of the car over the last part of the race.
Sainz was the best-placed finisher to run a traditional two-stop strategy.
Race winner Sergio Perez had an unplanned first lap stop and thereafter pitted only once, while the other top three finishers, Esteban Ocon and Lance Stroll, also made it home with just one stop.
Sainz took fresh medium tyres under a VSC on lap 55, but the subsequent safety car after Jack Aitken's crash helped those who had stayed on older rubber, and were on long stints to the flag.
"Obviously, how the race played out, it worked out for Esteban and Lance," said Seidl.
"But I think they probably benefited also from the way the safety car came in, because this is where Carlos was on the hunt with the last set of tyres.
"So I think it's difficult to judge. We still need to analyse, if that would have made a difference in a normal race."
Seidl doubted that Sainz could have done anything about eventual winner Perez.
"In the end, I think we have to clearly say congratulations to Checo, he was just flying. I think he has shown what this car together with him can do. And that's something we simply cannot compete with at the moment.
"I think our race was in the end with Ocon and Lance. As I said before, I guess with the timing of the safety cars and so on, we were only a bit unlucky to fight these two cars, I would say.
"Carlos did a great job, and together with the team, and I think we maximised everything we had in our hands, keeping Daniel [Ricciardo] and [Alex] Albon behind us."
Nevertheless Seidl said the team did not regret its chosen strategy: "I would say going into this race, we clearly expected a two-stop race. Then we could see that tyre degradation definitely was lower than expected.
"But in the end we still saw that it was overall the better strategy in terms of race time to go for the two stops still, even live during the race.
"And again, I think it would have been quite close to Esteban and Lance with their one-stop races if the race would have finished without the safety car. Because as I said before Carlos was on the hunt, getting closer to them.
"But at the same time, we clearly have to acknowledge that against Checo there was nothing we could do, he was simply on a different level in terms of pace."
From a back-of-the-grid start, Sainz's teammate Lando Norris could not improve on the 10th place he reached on lap one on a day when big points were available.
"On Lando's we still need to analyse why where I think after a good first lap, when he was in P10, he simply couldn't go the same pace as Carlos did," said Seidl. "So we're still investigating what the reason for that was.
"In the end, obviously disappointing for us, especially with our main competitors being able to score that many points.
"Unfortunately, we were missing the usual suspects on the podium, because that would have helped us a lot today. But that's the way it goes sometimes. We simply need to put this behind us now."

Sydney Northern Beaches have regained the Interbranch Championship in style after holding off rivals Sydney with a determined display on a pulsating day two of action to conclude the 2014 Championships.
Competition was once again moved to Swansea Belmont after conditions at Catherine Hill Bay weren't suitable for competition. The move was achieved with a minimum of fuss, and competitors were greeted with consistent wave sets, blue skies, and some red-hot competition.
There was little between the two Sydney branches throughout the two-day carnival as they traded points in most events. At various stages across the weekend, just half a point separated the rivals.
Indeed it wasn't until the final few events that Sydney Northern Beaches were able to pull away and claim the title pushing last year's champions into the silver medal position. Central Coast finished third, and hosts Hunter took out fourth place.
Northern Beaches Captain Katie Williams credited the team spirit amongst the group for playing a major part in the branch regaining the title.
"It's fantastic to take the title, and we've had a great weekend at Interbranch. The team came together well.
"We all took the attitude that the title was there to be won, and used that mentality throughout the carnival, and I think that really helped especially in the team events today," Williams said.
"Everybody gave it their all and did their best, and that's all you can really ask for," she said.
Williams and male sprinter Jake Lynch also from the Sydney Northern Beaches branch both won the open sprint double, which played a key role in the ultimate margin, but it was a team effort from all the competitors that eventually sealed the victory.
For the regional branches the Interbranch titles were again a chance to test themselves against their metropolitan rivals before next month's Country Championships. Far North Coast dominated the point-score, taking home the Country Cup for the second consecutive year after finishing fifth overall. South Coast and the Mid North Coast rounded out the minor placings in the country point-score.
Surf lifesaving NSW Sports Manager Shane Knight was delighted with the success of the carnival, and praised everyone involved with the event especially for being so understanding during the venue switch.
"I'd like to thank Catherine Hill Bay SLSC, Swansea Belmont, and the Hunter Branch for being such wonderful hosts. While we would have liked to complete the carnival at Catherine Hill Bay, the reality of surf sports means that safety must always come first.
"Congratulations to Sydney Northern Beaches for taking out the title, to all the other branches thank you for participating in the right spirit," Mr Knight said.
The NSW State Team was announced following the carnival. Sydney Northern Beaches will be well represented in next month's event.
Katie Williams (Collaroy), and Nathan Smith (Manly) have been announced as captains of the team. Manly's Jay Furniss and Naomi Flood were also named in the side. Newport also has a significant representation with Hannah Minogue, Kendrick Louis, Georgia Miller, Lara Moses, Jake Lynch and Jayke Rees all earning a call-up.
Surf Life Saving NSW would like to congratulate all the athletes selected.
Shane Knight, SLSNSW Sports Manager, congratulated the athletes who gained selection in the state team saying it was a well-deserved honour.
"The selectors have picked a well balanced team with some very promising juniors and established senior performers.
"With the changes to the competition format this year the selectors opted to choose a team that they felt would be able to adapt to the format," Mr Knight said.
The 2015 competition will not feature pool events. Team structures have also slightly altered as a result of this change with each state allowed to field a maximum of 12 competitors (6 male, 6 female) in the open and youth category. Each youth side must also contain two U17 athletes as part of the squad.
"A lot of people have worked very hard behind the scenes to select the right team and being chosen for a state team is a just reward for not only the athlete but their family, coach, and club.
"Like the other states, our team is going there to win, and we've picked a team that has the best possible chance to do that," Mr Knight said.
NSW have a proud record at the championship (having won 6 out of the last 8 contested), but lost the title to Queensland last year by a narrow margin after having gone back-to-back in 2012 and 2013.
The NSW team will go into camp on Wednesday 21 January where they will fine-tune their preparations, and undergo team building exercises.
The Interstate Championships will be held at Newport Beach on Friday 23 January.
Sydney Northern Beaches dominate the NSW team with 11 athletes selected for the Inter State Championships at Newport next month.

Abstract: Structural transformation in rural Viet Nam has led to rising incomes and a diversification of livelihoods away from agriculture. Using panel data on children in 2,181 rural households surveyed over the 2008-14 period, we examine how the welfare of children has been impacted by structural transformation. Our analysis depicts a society that has made great progress towards improving child welfare which can in part be linked to the empowerment of women that has accompanied the transformation process. We find heterogeneity in welfare gains though, with boys benefitting more than girls and persistently lower levels of child welfare among ethnic minorities.
