Tennis Goals Are Attained Not By Strength But By Perseverance
May 2, 2017 October 13, 2017 ByKyle Add Comment
Athlete Pathway
I started playing tennis when I was 5 years old. I remember tagging along with my dad whenever he played at a club near our home. I would be their ball boy, after that, it would be my turn to hit some balls. My dad always told me that I was the one who initiated to play tennis. I loved it! I loved hitting tennis balls. At such a young age, I felt a sense of enjoyment and peace whenever I stepped on the court.
I played my first tournament at 8, and won my first title at 9. I became the nation's No. 1 junior tennis player at 15 and held the position till I went to college. One of my biggest accomplishments I had as a junior was leading the Philippine Junior Davis Cup Team to qualify for its first and only World Group Championship in Barcelona, Spain. We placed 3rd behind the Japanese powerhouse that was led by Kei Nishikori, and Team Australia in the Asia / Oceania Qualifiers. Subsequently, I played the Australian, French and Wimbledon Juniors soon after.
Tennis has taught me to walk a straight path at an early age. It taught me discipline, commitment and hard work. Most people saw my tennis accomplishments only. Underneath those accomplishments, was a kid who was burning his eyebrows with his academics. As I wanted to play tennis, my parents and I had to sign a "contract" that I would have to honor if I wanted to have a long term relationship with the sport I love. I had to maintain the perfect balance of tennis and academics. I hated that contract. I whined about it several times, especially when I came home from practice all tired and sleepy, but I had to push through it. All that hard work on the court and in the classroom led to an admission to a very prestigious university in the US, Santa Clara University, on a full tennis scholarship. All those years of hard work and discipline, were my parents who tirelessly pushed their son to the limit. I am more than grateful and blessed for everything they have done.
US College Experience
I started my college tennis career as the No. 2 player in our team, and we had a terrible record (4-16), in school history. We only had 6 players on our team then. The next year, our coach recruited a few good players who eventually filled the line up, leading to a successful year. For the first time in about a decade, SCU was ranked again. The success continued. Our rankings just kept going up. During my senior year, I was able to lead Santa Clara to its first ever NCAA tournament. This was the highest team and individual rankings in school history. I also won the Male athlete of the Year award, that happens to be a first for the tennis team as no tennis player has ever won the said award till 2012.
Being the No. 1 tennis player at Santa Clara, I felt a great deal of pressure. My teammates, coaches, my family and even my country were counting on me to win matches. On top of that, I had to maintain a GPA of 3.0 – 3.5 at an academic university. For a while, the pressure held me back. when I started to get used to it, I was able to use it to my advantage to play better. I started to enjoy the pressure and was actually looking forward to it too! It's amazing what college sports can do to you. You just have to look at the bottle as half full, not the other way around. Like most student-athletes, I realized how lucky I was to play the sport I love while studying at a prestigious university. With this in mind, I made sure to maximize that experience of a lifetime.
College was indeed one of the best experiences of my life. It taught me so many life lessons. It gave me a sense of independence and accountability. It taught me the spirit of teamwork and camaraderie.
Post-College
After college, I tried to play professional tennis for about a year. It was something I always knew I wanted to try. For the first few months, I enjoyed it. I was grinding it out and winning matches. I traveled around the US and Asia to play the Futures events. But after a while, I suddenly had a change of heart. The desire to be a Top 100 ATP player was not there anymore. I was forcing myself to practice, play tournaments, even to enter in them. And because of that, I had to accept the fact that professional tennis was just not for me.
I came home to Manila and started working at the Philippine's leading stock brokerage as a stock trader. I took up business in college as I've always had interest in the stock market. After about 2 years into the business, AddedSport came into the picture.
As an athlete, my passion for sports will always be there. I am also very passionate about helping young kids pursue their athletic dreams. Whether to turn professional or to use their sport to gain admission into top academic universities. Having experienced the ITF circuit and especially US college tennis, I am dedicated to help aspiring athletes have the best possible experience– this is why I joined AddedSport. Tennis gave me a life I never thought I would have. It brought me to places I've dreamed of visiting. It made me a tough and determined individual, ready to conquer the world. Tennis changed my life in more ways than I could ever imagine. Now, it is time to share my knowledge, experience and expertise to help as many aspiring young athletes as I can.

Zionists Kicked Palestinian Arabs Out Of Palestine? Why Do You Think Arabs Came In The First Place? [Updates]
In an article, In a nutshell: Why eastern Jerusalem, and Judea and Samaria are Jewish, Arlene Kushner writes:
Claims by Palestinian Arabs that they were an indigenous people, on the land for many generations, is also a misrepresentation. There is solid documentation for the fact that a substantial part of this group, identified only as part of the Arab nation, migrated into Palestine in the years shortly before the founding of Israel.
One source of documentation is The Late Great State Of Israel: How Enemies Within and Without Threaten the Jewish Nation's Survival , by Aaron Klein.
Below is an excerpt from pages 116-117 in the section A Different Kind Of Refugee. The key point Klein makes is that the unusual definition of refugee applied solely to Palestinian Arabs discards the requirement of "habitual residence" to a mere 2 years. This is in recognition of the large influx of Arabs into then-Palestine because of the improved conditions created by Jewish immigrants.
Klein quotes Mitchell Bard, who writes about the large influx of Arabs into then-Palestine in the years prior to 1948:
The Jewish population increased by 470,000 between World War I and World War II, while the non-Jewish population rose by 588,000.13 In fact, the permanent Arab population increased 120 percent between 1922 and 1947.14
This rapid growth was a result of several factors. One was immigration from neighboring states — constituting 37 percent of the total immigration to pre-state Israel — by Arabs who wanted to take advantage of the higher standard of living the Jews had made possible.15 The Arab population also grew because of the improved living conditions created by the Jews as they drained malarial swamps and brought improved sanitation and health care to the region. Thus, for example, the Muslim infant mortality rate fell from 201 per thousand in 1925 to 94 per thousand in 1945 and life expectancy rose from 37 years in 1926 to 49 in 1943.16
The Arab population increased the most in cities where large Jewish populations had created new economic opportunities. From 1922-1947, the non-Jewish population increased 290 percent in Haifa, 131 percent in Jerusalem and 158 percent in Jaffa. The growth in Arab towns was more modest: 42 percent in Nablus, 78 percent in Jenin and 37 percent in Bethlehem.17
For an example, Elder of Ziyon posts images newspaper articles on the influx of Arabs during the 1930's100,000 illegal Arab immigrants from 1928-1931 and 25,000 from Syria in 1934.
In an article, 1948, Israel, and the Palestinians, Efraim Karsh notes:
the decisive Jewish contribution to Mandate Palestine's socioeconomic well-being. The British authorities acknowledged as much in a 1937 report by a commission of inquiry headed by Lord Peel:
The general beneficent effect of Jewish immigration on Arab welfare is illustrated by the fact that the increase in the Arab population is most marked in urban areas affected by Jewish development. A comparison of the census returns in 1922 and 1931 shows that, six years ago, the increase percent in Haifa was 86, in Jaffa 62, in Jerusalem 37, while in purely Arab towns such as Nablus and Hebron it was only 7, and at Gaza there was a decrease of 2 percent.
Fred M. Gottheil, in The Smoking Gun: Arab Immigration into Palestine, 1922-1931, goes through the available statistics on Arab immigration.
In Whose Palestine?--appearing in Commentary Magazine in 1986--Erich and Rael Jean Isaac, who critique Joan Peters' From Time Immemorial , also assess the evidence in favor of the case she makes for Arab immigration into then-Palestine:
...there is overwhelming evidence, some of which (for example, in the studies of Fred Gottheil) she uses in her book, of extensive in-migration from the predominantly Arab to the Jewish-settled areas. Scholars, Porath included, do not dispute this (Porath disagrees on the reason for the migration). Such dispute as there is concerns the amount of illicit Arab immigration. The projections do not address this question, but rather confirm the disproportionate growth of areas of Jewish settlement compared with mainly or purely Arab areas within Western Palestine.
Arieh Avneri, in The Claim of Dispossession, published after Miss Peters's book, provides additional data in support of her thesis, with regard both to Arab in-migration and to Arab immigration. (It is noteworthy that Porath, who so vigorously disputes Miss Peters, is one of those thanked by Avneri for "valuable comments" on a manuscript that reaches the same conclusion as hers.) Avneri finds that between 1922 and 1947, in 35 regions of Western Palestine that became Israel, the Arab population increased by 134 percent. By contrast, in 13 regions where there was no Jewish settlement, the Arab population increased by only 98 percent. Avneri points out that even the 98-percent increase is deceptive, for it includes Arab Jerusalem whose population grew over a twenty-five-year period at a rate second only to that of Haifa (150 percent as compared with Haifa's 290 percent). Cities remote from Jewish development grew much more slowly: Nablus, 56 percent; Jenin, 78 percent; Hebron, 64 percent. (Gaza was an exception to these very low rates.)
The rural Arab population also grew in response to Jewish development. The growth was highest in the hinterland of Jaffa, which was the rural area of greatest Jewish concentration, but in the Haifa and Acre district Arab rural population also increased in response to the growing urban demand for vegetables and fruit. In contrast, the rural population in the districts of Jenin, Nablus, Hebron, and Gaza, all remote from Jewish settlements, grew at rates below the national average.
The geographer Avraham Brawer, in his book Eretz Yisrael, published in 1949, compares the population of Western Palestine with that of neighboring countries. He finds that even the purely Arab areas had a population density (96 per square kilometer) equal to that of Lebanon with its more favorable climatic conditions and large, culturally more advanced Christian population component, and double that of the settled areas of Syria and Cyprus, both of which enjoyed better climatic and soil conditions. In the areas of Jewish settlement, the population density was much higher: 136 per square kilometer. Brawer attributes the high population density in all of Western Palestine to the infusion of Jewish capital and the dramatic improvements in public health, which had no equal at the time in any Mediterranean country except France.
The bottom line is: the claim of an established Arab Palestinian land is a myth--the numbers of Arabs in the land fluctuated and rather than "Zionists" being responsible for forcing Palestinian Arabs out of the land, these very same Jews were the reason for many of these Arabs coming into then-Palestine.
UPDATE: Elder of Zion, whose original posts on this topic were very helpful, has another post: More data points on illegal Arab immigration.
I had looked at this in the past, but today I discovered an intriguing new data point, from the Palestine Post, August 19, 1935, quoting the (then Manchester) Guardian of August 10.
The article is a synopsis of the British Treasury report dealing with Palestine. According to the article, Jewish immigration had vastly increased in the early 1930s, but then it adds this:
"The immigration, however, is not restricted to Jews. There has been a steady infiltration into Palestine of Arabs from Syria (the Hauran) and from Trans-Jordan. And it is notable that the illicit immigration of the non-Jews recorded in the report of the Government is more than double that recorded for the Jews."
Read the whole thing--including the images of the original articles.
UPDATE:: Someone today left the following in the comments:
Please see extended research on Arab immigration to Israel/Palestine since the late 1800's. Citing very early documents (like 1920s, 1930s) including testimonials in Congress in the 1930s.

WWE Goes On Second-Generation
Hiring Spree
Originally published September 23, 2008
Clockwise from top left: Jimmy B. Ware, Jennifer Shango, Barry Zhukov, Randy Orton Jr.
(Stamford, CT) - For a long time, 22 year-old Jimmy B. Ware didn't think he'd end up like his famous father, World Wrestling Entertainment legend Koko B. Ware.
"I always wanted to be a cardiologist, actually," Jimmy told Breaking News. "But that was before John Laurinaitis showed up at my door with a huge signing bonus."
The second-generation Birdman is among those that WWE hopes will bring the company in the future, much like they have with Cody Rhodes, Primo Colon, Natalya and numerous others.
"The son of a wrestler just has that natural instinct that promoters look for," said Barry Zhukov, another recent WWE signee. The son of former Bolshevik Boris Zhukov, Barry claims that he hates "you lazy, stupid Americans" despite the fact he was born in Baltimore.
Other recent hires include Jennifer Shango (daughter of Papa), Captain Steve Albano (nephew of Lou), Brian The Clown (son of Dink) and Cousin Junior Jr. (son of... well, you've probably figured it out already).
WWE will also pay a premium for children of dual-wrestler families (known as the "Aurora Rose rule"). Such was the case with "The World's Strongest Bastard Lovechild" Jason Young-Henry, the product of a 1998 fling between Mae Young and Mark Henry.
In related news, WWE has suspended Randy Orton Jr. for "anger management issues" when the three-month old threw a temper tantrum backstage.

The Oehler mill is made of stone and it is two stories high. Inside the mill there was three run of stone. The Oehler mill was built before the new roller mill technology, which came to La Crosse in the 1880s. Stone ground mills could grind whole-wheat flour, grist, and cornmeal.
To the right the lathe bed ways are being ground on our 36 x 36 x 12' way grinder. After way grinding or hand scraping the bodywork is touched up and finished painted. Parts are then returned to the disassembly area where the lathe is re-assembled.
The grinding mechanisms are more or less exactly the same size in both grinders. I even put it to the test, seeing how much each grinder would produce in just 20 seconds of grinding. They both produced exactly the same weight of coffee grinds 3 grams.
May 31, 2012I just got an All Grain Flour Mill, model A33 from ebay, and tried it out tonight and was very unimpressed hopefully someone can confirm it is worthwhile to put some money in it. I have an old Whisper Mill, and wanted something quieter, and the All Grain seemed to fit the bill.

Preliminary tests had similar results for crushing of husks using the arrangement hammer mill crushing roller mill (HM BWS) which provides better results than the reverse order. A hammer mill in the second grinding stage produces more fines than a hammer mill in the first grinding stage.
Modern millers do not just grind grain the way the Romans did. This doesn't allow for much of the white flour to be separated from the bran and germ. Instead a system of machines are used to open the individual grains, and then scrape and separate and grind each component.

Q: I am having trouble with my do while loop for asking a user for a new file is the previous one does not work I am writing some code that is taking a user file and then sorting the information but I am having trouble writing the program so that if the user enters in the wrong file name the program wont just stop but give them another chance to enter the correct file.
I thought that I could do this with a do while that says ask for a file to read from repeatedly while the file does not exist but that didn't seem to work
public void readText(int ages[], String names[]) throws FileNotFoundException{
    String filename = "";
    Scanner inputFile = new Scanner(System.in);
    do {
        System.out.println("File to read from:");
        filename = inputFile.nextLine();
        File file = new File(filename);
        inputFile = new Scanner(file);
        }
    while (!new File(filename).exists());
        while (inputFile.hasNextLine()) {
            String data = inputFile.nextLine();
            String[] parts = data.split("(?<=\\))(?=\\()");
            for (String part : parts) {
                String input = part.replaceAll("[()]", "");

Western Pacific Council Director: Marine Monuments 'Major Impediment' to U.S. Fisheries
WASHINGTON — May 1, 2019 — The following was released by the National Coalition for Fishing Communities:
In testimony before a House subcommittee today, Kitty Simonds, the Executive Director of the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council (WPRFMC) labeled the increasing number and size of marine monuments a "major impediment" to U.S. fisheries. According to Ms. Simonds, these designations force fishermen to travel farther, longer, and at greater costs, with little conservation benefit.
Members of Saving Seafood's National Coalition for Fishing Communities also submitted a letter to the Subcommittee, which was entered into the committee hearing record, asking that fishing inside of the marine monuments be managed under the Magnuson-Stevens Act, and that future monument designations include input from commercial fishermen. The letter notes that previous monument designations were made "with no formal public hearings, cost-benefit analyses, or input from affected constituents, and despite no compelling reason or threat to marine resources."
"The Council process allows for stakeholders, scientists, and concerned citizens to review and debate policy decisions in a transparent manner," the letter states. "In contrast, the Antiquities Act authorizes the president to take away public areas and public resources with no public input. Using executive authority, the President can close any federal lands and waters in an opaque, top-down process that too often excludes the very people who would be most affected."
The letter was signed by 20 fishing organizations and 8 fishing vessels, representing fishermen from 11 states: California, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Maryland, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, and Rhode Island.
Ms. Simonds cited other negative consequences of the policy, including making it harder to prevent illegal fishing by foreign vessels in the U.S. EEZ; limiting, along with other closures, fishermen to operate in as little as 17 percent of the U.S. EEZ; and a decrease in the number of longline vessels and the amount of their catch.
"These prohibitions have forced our fishermen out of more than half of the U.S. [Exclusive Economic Zone] EEZ in the [Western and Central Pacific Ocean] and onto the high seas, where they are forced to compete with foreign fleets on the fishing grounds," said Ms. Simonds in her testimony, delivered before the Natural Resources Subcommittee on Water, Oceans, and Wildlife. "Currently 70 percent of the Hawaii longline effort is on the high seas. We also know, based on expert scientific knowledge, that forcing U.S. vessels out of U.S. waters has no conservation benefit to tuna and highly migratory stocks or to protected species."
For Third Time, Senate Commerce Committee Approves Barry Myers to Lead NOAA
April 3, 2019 — WASHINGTON — The following was released by the National Coalition for Fishing Communities:
This morning, the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation approved Barry Myers, former CEO of the weather forecasting company AccuWeather, to lead NOAA. This is the third time the Commerce Committee has approved Mr. Myers, but his nomination has yet to be brought to a vote before the full Senate. The National Coalition for Fishing Communities (NCFC) urges everyone in the seafood industry to send a message to their Senators supporting Mr. Myers' nomination.
In an effort organized by the NCFC in late 2017, representatives of 71 commercial fishing companies and organizations and 31 fishing vessels from around the country signed a letter urging the Senate to confirm Mr. Myers.
"As CEO of AccuWeather, Mr. Myers has a proven record of success, working alongside scientists," the fishing groups wrote at the time.
The industry signers touted Mr. Myers' record as a fellow of the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and a recipient of the prestigious AMS Leadership Award. He has also served on the Environmental Information Services Working Group of NOAA's Science Advisory Board for 5 different heads of NOAA's National Weather Service, under presidents of both parties.
Banning Shark Fin Sales Not Effective Conservation Tool, Sustainable Shark Alliance Tells Congress
March 26, 2019 — The following was released by the Sustainable Shark Alliance:
Banning the domestic sale of shark fins will be less effective for global shark conservation than legal, regulated shark fishing, according to testimony from the Sustainable Shark Alliance (SSA), delivered today before a House panel.
Shaun Gehan, testifying on behalf of SSA before the House Subcommittee on Water, Oceans, and Wildlife, voiced SSA's opposition to H.R. 737, the Shark Fin Sales Elimination Act. Instead, SSA, which represents shark fishermen, dealers, and processors, expressed its support for H.R. 788, the Sustainable Shark Fisheries and Trade Act.
Mr. Gehan was quick to point out in his prepared remarks that opposition to H.R. 737 is not based on a difference of opinion on the troubling practice of shark finning, which he testified is an "abhorrent and unsustainable" practice that "wastes an important source of low-cost protein that can feed growing populations." Rather, SSA opposes H.R. 737 because, by banning the sale of legally caught shark fins that are not inhumanely harvested, it will not effectively promote global shark conservation.
"Sustainably-sourced fins from our well-managed fishery will be replaced by those from bad actors. Only American fishermen, abiding by the world's strictest shark conservation laws, and sharks in unmanaged waters will suffer," he said.
NOAA has expressed similar concerns with the legislation. Last year, Alan Risenhoover, Director of NOAA's Office of Sustainable Fisheries, told the same subcommittee that "we cannot support the Shark Fin Sale Elimination Act because the bill's negative impact on U.S. fishermen would outweigh its minimal benefit to shark conservation," adding, "this would hurt U.S. fishermen who currently harvest and sell sharks and shark fins in a sustainable manner under strict federal management."
SSA supports H.R. 788, which "leverages the power of the U.S. market to 'export' the best management practices of our country." Rather than banning the sale of all shark fins, H.R. 788 requires all shark products that are imported into the U.S. come from fisheries that meet the same high standards as U.S. fisheries. This means that not only must they come from sharks that are not finned, but that they must also come from shark fisheries that are managed sustainably.
H.R. 788 promotes high standards of shark conservation at a global level, while, just as importantly, preserves increasingly important American shark fisheries.
"Not only do shark harvests provide an important source of income for American fishermen and their communities, but growing shark populations are rapidly increasing natural mortality on such important food and game fish as red snapper and grouper species, not to mention increasing predation on whales and marine mammals," Mr. Gehan said.
Unfortunately, the subcommittee did not consider H.R. 788 at today's hearing, instead focusing on a bill that will harm many constituents in coastal communities without providing meaningful shark conservation. SSA urges the subcommittee to reconsider H.R. 788 as a better alternative.

New fishing rules continue to attract attention
January 2, 2019 — Revisions to federal fishing regulations that have received widespread praise from competing interests are drawing a more cautious reaction from one commercial fishing group.
Members of the National Coalition for Fishing Communities, which represents commercial fishermen in communities along all U.S. coasts, says it wants to ensure the Modern Fish Act does not diminish the nation's main fishing law, which awaits reauthorization by Congress.
The group says the Magnuson-Stevens Act does need reforms but that its main protections against overfishing have worked well and need to be maintained.
"Any Magnuson-Stevens re-authorization should include two goals," said David Krebs, president of Ariel Seafoods Inc. in Destin, Florida and a board member of the Gulf Coast Seafood Alliance, said in a coalition news release. "The 10 national standards must be maintained, and provisions should be included to ensure balance between commercial and recreational interests on the eight fishery management councils."

Modern Fish Act passes House: Industry wonders what happened to Magnuson?
December 21, 2018 — The U.S. House voted to pass the Modern Fish Act on Wednesday, just two days after the Senate approved it unanimously, swiftly sending the bill to President Donald Trump's desk for a signature.
The "Modernizing Recreational Fishing Management Act," or S.1520, has been the subject of debate and compromise among lawmakers, commercial and recreational fishing interests, and environmentalists for months.
The National Coalition for Fishing Communities released a statement on Thursday denouncing the quick passage of the bill and cementing their earlier support for Rep. Don Young's (R-Alaska) reauthorization of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, H.R. 200, that was passed over earlier this year.
Unfortunately, the Senate failed to take up the House bill, and instead took up S.1520, the "Modernizing Recreational Fishing Management Act," read the statement. "In its original form, S.1520 faced widespread opposition from both commercial fishing and environmental groups. After its most controversial components were either totally removed or substantially weakened, it moved forward in the Senate and passed the House yesterday."

Modern Fish Act Falls Short: Full Magnuson-Stevens Reauthorization Still Needed
December 20, 2018 — The following was released by the National Coalition for Fishing Communities:
In June, members of Saving Seafood's National Coalition for Fishing Communities wrote to Congressional leadership in support of H.R. 200, the reauthorization of the Magnuson-Stevens Act. That bill, championed by Congressman Don Young (R-Alaska), would have addressed the concerns of the commercial fishing industry by allowing more flexibility in management, eliminating arbitrary rebuilding timelines, and adding other reforms to better take into account the complex challenges facing commercial fishermen.
Unfortunately, the Senate failed to take up the House bill, and instead took up S.1520, the "Modernizing Recreational Fishing Management Act." In its original form, S.1520 faced widespread opposition from both commercial fishing and environmental groups. After its most controversial components were either totally removed or substantially weakened, it moved forward in the Senate and passed the House yesterday.
S.1520 is an amendment to, but not a reauthorization of, the Magnuson-Stevens Act.
Commercial fishing interests, recreational interests, and environmental groups all agree that the Magnuson-Stevens Act should, as the Environmental Defense Fund recently noted, "be recognized as one of the most successful conservation statutes ever enacted." But no law is perfect, and there are still reforms that need to be addressed.
"We certainly hope the passage of this bill doesn't reduce the incentive for the 116th Congress to work with the seafood industry on legislation to reauthorize the MSA in ways that will enhance the law and benefit fishing communities throughout the U.S.," said Lori Steele, Executive Director of the West Coast Seafood Processors Association in Portland, Oregon. "The need for such legislation remains."
"The enormous amount of energy spent working to turn S.1520 from a widely opposed bill to a diminished version just so it could make it through the Senate would have been better spent on crafting a helpful Magnuson-Stevens Act reauthorization," said Greg DiDomenico, Executive Director of the Garden State Seafood Association in New Jersey. "If the President signs this bill into law, the best outcome might be that the public may get a better sense of the significant catch and discard mortality associated with recreational fishing, but the bill does not get us the real reform that both industries need."
"Any Magnuson-Stevens re-authorization should include two goals," said David Krebs, president of Ariel Seafoods Inc. in Destin, Florida and a board member of the Gulf Coast Seafood Alliance. "The ten national standards must be maintained, and provisions should be included to ensure balance between commercial and recreational interests on the eight fishery management councils."
Ms. Steele and Mr. DiDomenico both testified before the Senate this year in favor of needed improvements to the Magnuson-Stevens Act.
Some of the crucial issues addressed in HR 200, and that were not addressed by the Senate include:
1) Eliminating the 10-year time requirement for rebuilding fisheries and replacing it with a biologically based time frame. This will allow the Regional Fishery Management Councils (RFMCs) to determine the optimal path and duration for stock rebuilding.
2) Modifying requirements for annual catch limits (ACLs) to allow RFMCs to consider ecosystem changes and the needs of fishing communities when establishing ACLs. In light of changing environmental conditions and the role of the environment in fisheries recruitment, these considerations make both scientific and common sense.
3) Using the term "depleted" instead of "overfished" throughout the Act is a simple yet very important change that will allow the Secretary of Commerce to more accurately characterize stock condition not based solely on fishing mortality. The term "overfished" is perceived negatively and can unfairly implicate the industry for stock conditions resulting from other factors.
4) Maintaining the requirement for a transparent referendum process before any new catch share program can be implemented in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico regions to ensure the industry has a role in determining its future.
Saving Seafood Mourns the Passing of Danny Cohen, Founder and CEO of Atlantic Capes
November 21, 2018 — With sadness, Saving Seafood reports the passing of Daniel M. Cohen, founder and CEO of Atlantic Capes Fisheries, Inc. Danny was a longtime supporter of Saving Seafood, our National Coalition for Fishing Communities, and our member organizations, including the Fisheries Survival Fund and the Garden State Seafood Association.
Danny was featured in a 1997 New York Times profile, "Not on Board, but at the Helm," and in 2014 testified before the U.S. Senate on the effects of climate change on wildlife and agriculture (he appears in this C-SPAN video beginning at approximately 1:19:30).
His obituary follows:
Daniel Myer Cohen, a pillar of the East Coast commercial fishing industry, and an eloquent spokesperson for commercial fisherman throughout America, died on November 20, 2018 in Cape May, NJ, at the age of 63, after a protracted and heroic struggle with cancer.
"Danny," as he was known, took over the small fishing-dock and several fishing boats left to him by his father, Joseph Cohen, in 1976 and built it into Atlantic Capes Fisheries, Inc., an industry leading vertically integrated seafood enterprise. ACF's fleet of scallop, clam and other fishing vessels working out of company owned and managed facilities in Ocean City Maryland, Cape May and Point Pleasant New Jersey and additional ports in New England, supply seafood to company owned processing plants in Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
Early in his professional life and in his emerging role as a public advocate, Danny recognized that ensuring a sustainable wild harvest industry depended upon responsible environmental and resource stewardship. Among other activities in the field of fisheries science, policy and management, Danny appeared before Congress and served as Chairman of the National Fisheries Institute (NFI) Scientific Monitoring Committee and on the NFI Clam Committee, both of which work to sustainably manage the major shellfisheries of the mid-Atlantic region.
Illustrating the advancing impact of applied research to the seafood aquaculture, in the 1990s Danny began working with Rutgers University and founded Cape May Salt Oyster Company, re-vitalizing the Delaware Bay oyster industry by growing disease resistant shellfish whose triploid oysters, championed early on by the slow food movement, can be found on the menus of some the nation's finest restaurants. Tetraploid technology which is also being applied to scallop aquaculture is revolutionizing shellfish production across the globe.
Well over a decade ago Danny also recognized the impact offshore wind development would pose to the commercial fisheries. In an effort to protect the fishing industry while harnessing its maritime expertise, Danny galvanized the industry by founding Fishermen's Energy of New Jersey, LLC which was poised to build the first offshore wind farm in the United States. Unfortunately, New Jersey's political climate stymied a decade of progress. Nonetheless, in 2009, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities named Danny New Jersey's "Clean Energy Advocate of the Year."
Whether in aquaculture, wild harvest, processing and marketing, offshore wind development or a host of other projects spanning the globe, Danny Cohen has been a leading light for over 4 decades.
Daniel "Danny" Myer Cohen was born on March 3, 1955 in Vineland, New Jersey. He was the third and youngest child of Joseph Cohen, a trucking and commercial boat operator born in the Alliance Colony and his beloved mother, Doris Cohen nee Maier, a refugee from Nazi Germany. Danny expressed his love of Judaism through an interest in Musar, a Jewish ethical, educational, and cultural movement whose name encapsulates Danny's philosophy of life: Musar can be translated "as upright conduct."
Danny is survived by his daughter Dorit with ex-wife Mindy Silver, his sister Maxi, brother Barry and sister-in-law Ronnie; his nephew, niece and cousins; companion Sharon and by the many friends he has made in the seafood industry; the captains and crew that are the company's lifeblood and by the nearly 500 member ACF family that Danny helped to build and nurture. The family also extends its gratitude to the home health aides from Synergy HomeCare as well as the hospice nurses and staff from Holy Redeemer Hospice.
A funeral will be held Sunday November 25th at 10:30 am at Shirat HaYam located 700 N. Swarthmore Avenue in Ventnor NJ. Shiva will be held at the home of Barry and Ronnie Cohen in Linwood NJ. In lieu of flowers, charitable contributions in Danny's memory can be made to the Sarcoma Foundation of America to help fund research into Sarcoma cancers. Arrangements are made by Roth-Goldsteins' Memorial Chapel.
Industry begins fight against Monterey Bay Aquarium's Portland Pact
November 8, 2018 — The Monterey Bay Aquarium is preparing a campaign to recruit chefs from across the country to lobby the U.S. Congress to support measures that would hold fisheries accountable for overfishing and call for science-based decision making in the management process.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium advocates for greater sustainability in the seafood industry and operates the Seafood Watch initiative, which categorizes seafood items into one of three options: Best Choices, Good Alternatives, or Avoid. Its new initiative, called The Portland Pact, has not officially launched yet, said Erin Eastwood, an ocean policy program specialist for the organization, in a statement to SeafoodSource.
"The Portland Pact is not about the election or partisan politics," she said. "It is about supporting strong policies to ensure the sustainability of U.S. seafood now and for the future."
However, seafood industry leaders have already initiated a countermeasure, saying the Portland Pact is trying to undo steps proposed in H.R. 200, a bill the U.S. House of Representatives passed in July that would reauthorize and make changes to the Magnuson-Stevens Act (MSA).
H.R. 200, which has not been passed in the Senate, will need to be re-filed when the new Congress reconvenes in January if it's not signed into law by then. Ryan Bradley, director of Mississippi Commercial Fisheries United, said he and other commercial fishing groups do not expect the lame-duck Congress to take up the MSA bill.
"We do not anticipate MSA reauthorization being a top priority for Congress, at least through the rest of this year," Bradley told SeafoodSource.
The National Coalition for Fishing Communities, a commercial fisheries group, said the changes the bill makes to the MSA would enable regional councils to make decisions based on needs of the fishing community and changing ecological conditions.
In what it called an open letter to America's chefs, the coalition called on chefs to consult with fishermen before agreeing to join the Portland Pact. It was signed by 15 industry leaders from across the country.

National Coalition for Fishing Communities: An Open Letter to America's Chefs
October 31, 2018 — WASHINGTON — The following was released by Saving Seafood's National Coalition for Fishing Communities:
Members of the National Coalition for Fishing Communities have long believed that the Magnuson-Stevens Act (MSA) is one of the great success stories in fisheries management. Originally co-sponsored in the House over 40 years ago by Reps. Don Young (R-Alaska) and Gerry Studds (D-Massachusetts), the MSA has become a worldwide model, and is one of the reasons the U.S. has some of the best-managed and most sustainable fish stocks in the world. The bill is named for its Senate champions, Warren Magnuson (D-Washington) and Ted Stevens (R-Alaska).
But we are concerned by a new "nationwide #ChefsForFish campaign targeted at the new 2019 Congress, to launch after the elections in early November," being organized by the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which the Aquarium calls the "next phase" of its "defense" of the Magnuson-Stevens Act. The Monterey Bay Aquarium described this campaign in an October 25 email sent to its "Blue Ribbon Task Force chefs." The email asked this network of chefs to support the "Portland Pact for Sustainable Seafood" (attached).
On the surface, the Portland Pact matter-of-factly states sound principles:
"Requiring management decisions be science-based;
Avoiding overfishing with catch limits and tools that hold everyone accountable for the fish that they remove from the ocean; and
Ensuring the timely recovery of depleted fish stocks."
However, in the last Congress, the Monterey Bay Aquarium used similar language to falsely characterize legitimate attempts to pass needed improvements to the MSA as betraying these principles. In fact, these changes would have made the landmark law even better.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium has repeatedly called on Congress to reject efforts, such as H.R. 200, which passed the U.S. House in July, and was sponsored by the now Dean of the House Don Young, that would amend the Act to introduce needed updates for U.S. fisheries management. If the chefs being asked to sign onto the Portland Pact were to talk to our fishermen, they would know how important these reforms are for the health of our nation's fishing communities.
Any suggestion that the original co-sponsor of the bill would, 40 years later, act to undermine America's fisheries, is inappropriate. In fact, most of the "fishing groups" that opposed Congressman Young's bill, are financially supported by environmental activists and their funders.
No legislation, no matter how well designed is perfect or timeless. In fact, Congress has twice made significant revisions to the MSA, first in 1996 with the passage of the Sustainable Fisheries Act and in 2007 with the MSA Reauthorization Act. Like many other valued and successful laws, the Magnuson-Stevens Act is both working well, and in need of updates.
We agree that "management decisions be science-based." One of the most significant issues with the current MSA is that it requires that fish stocks be rebuilt according to rigid, arbitrary timeframes that have no scientific or biological basis. Bills like H.R. 200, officially the Strengthening Fishing Communities and Increasing Flexibility in Fisheries Management Act, would instead require that stocks be rebuilt according to an appropriate biological timeframe determined by the regional councils that manage the stocks.
H.R. 200 would also introduce other important measures that would better allow the councils to adapt their management plans to fit changing ecological conditions and the needs of fishing communities, which will become increasingly important as our coastal areas experience the effects of climate change.
American fishermen, like many American chefs, are committed to sustainable fishing and healthy oceans. Our businesses need sustainable, abundant fish stocks for us to make a living, and we all want a thriving resource that we can pass down to the next generation. We would never endorse a law that would threaten the long-term survival of our environment or our industry. That is why we endorse changes to the MSA that would ensure both.
We ask that any chef who is considering signing onto the Monterey Bay Aquarium letter to Congress first consult the local fishermen who supply them with fresh, quality products to learn how this law affects their communities.
NCFC members are available to connect chefs with seafood industry leaders, who would be happy to discuss how the MSA can be updated to help both fish and fishermen.

NCFC Members Urge BOEM to Include Commercial Fishermen in Windmill Siting Decisions in the New York Bight
August 17, 2018 — WASHINGTON — The following was released by Saving Seafood's National Coalition for Fishing Communities:
Late last month, members of Saving Seafood's National Coalition for Fishing Communities (NCFC) submitted two letters asking Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) to consider the economic importance of the commercial fishing industry before deciding where to site windmills in the New York Bight.
367 individuals signed a national letter calling on Secretary Zinke not to rush offshore energy development and to ensure projects are "sited, constructed, and operated using the best scientific information available."
"The Interior Department should provide for intelligent and deliberate offshore renewable energy development, rather than fall prey to the gold rush mentality promoted by BOEM and financially-interested wind developers, most of which are foreign-owned," the NCFC members wrote.
The signers also invoked President Donald Trump's campaign promise to support working class Americans.
"When President Trump campaigned and was elected, he promised to look after America's working middle class, of which we are all a part," the letter stated. "You will not be honoring the President's commitment if you allow BOEM to lease ocean areas first, and ask and answer the necessary questions later."
Another 103 individuals and 32 vessels and businesses from Massachusetts signed a separate letter asking BOEM to reconsider its plan to develop four offshore wind farms in the New York Bight. They specifically cited the damage such development would cause to important Northeast fisheries such as the scallop fishery.
"This is an ill-conceived idea that will cause irreparable economic harm within the fishing communities along the entire East Coast," the signers wrote. "The harm to Massachusetts will be especially significant, given that it is the center of the Atlantic sea scallop fishery and contains major surf clam and ocean quahog operations."
The letter pointed out that, on average, nearly $54 million is generated by scallop landings annually from the areas under consideration in the New York Bight, according to data from the National Marine Fisheries Service. An additional $8 million is generated by surf clam and ocean quahog.

Student Injuries – If You Were Injured as a Student, You Need to Know Your Rights
If you're a student or the parent of a student, you might trust teachers, bus drivers and others to follow all necessary steps to ensure the safety of all students. Chances are the last thing on your mind is that you or somebody you care about is involved in a serious accident while in the classroom, at a sports game or an internship. But as experienced attorneys know, accidents involving students happen all-too-often across the United States, resulting in life-changing and potentially fatal injuries in only a moment's notice. And even worse, chances are the injured student did nothing wrong to cause an accident.
Unfortunately, students of all ages face the risk of accident every day. You may be a parent whose child is injured at a bus stop. He or she might have been involved in a classroom accident or injured while on a field trip. You may be a student athlete injured at a game or a college student who sustained serious injuries at an internship. Knowing what to do after any accident is difficult. That's why we're here. If you're a student who was injured or a parent whose child was injured in a situation similar to the following, contact us today.

Who's at fault when a student is injured?
An injury in the classroom can have devastating consequences that affect students' lives for years to come. A broken bone or head injury often involves a painful recovery process and long-term physical therapy. On-the-job car accidents may leave students unable to return to work or pursue their high school diploma or college degree. The financial burden may feel overwhelming for students and parents alike due to skyrocketing medical bills and lost wages from missing time at work to be with your loved one or recover from your injuries.
When your accident isn't your fault or your child's fault, it's important to talk to an attorney immediately. You shouldn't have to shoulder the physical, emotional and financial burden of an accident alone when somebody else's negligence led to the accident. With the help of an experienced lawyer, you could be entitled to compensation to help pay for medical bills, the cost of future medical bills, lost wages if you or your loved one missed time at work, and future lost wages if you're unable to work again. Don't hesitate. Contact a lawyer today who's ready to help protect your rights.

One Vote for National Primary Day
The ability to communicate one's thoughts to others in our nation has grown exponentially over the past hundred years. From a time when families huddled around a radio, if they owned one, to the introduction of television into every home, to the age of personal computers and the explosion of the internet, we now have the capacity to reach into the minds of vast swaths of our population every second of every day.
From a day when a select few owned automobiles and travel by train was the only viable alternative, we have been elevated into the sky and can now criss-cross the country in several hours.
We have become omnipresent.
Yet we continue to treat our political process as if we were living in the age of the horse and buggy. Announcements by candidates of their decision to seek their party's nomination for the highest office in our nation, seemingly begins in earnest just after the mid-term elections.
On December 16, 2014, almost two years before we would elect our 46th President of the United States, Jeb Bush advised us that he had formed an exploratory committee regarding his possible insertion into the Republican race. It was a badly kept secret for months that he would run, as he kept the exploration fiction alive as long as possible, so he could skirt certain rules regarding contributions to candidates. Finally, on June 15, 2015, he put both feet into the water.
Others, still alive in our primary process, informed us with joy and celebration of their joining the fray on the following dates: March 4, 2015- Ben Carson; March 23, 2015-Ted Cruz; April 12, 2015- Hillary Clinton; April 13, 2015- Marco Rubio; April 29, 2015, Bernie Sanders; June 16,2015- Donald Trump; John Kasich, July 21, 2015.
Before the first ballot was cast, or more precisely before the first caucus was held, we had spent more than a half year, and in some instances almost a full year, in the constant company of those who would be our king. Their words had been broadcast in as many forums as one's imagination allowed. Each syllable was recorded, scrutinized and dissected by those who are charged with analyzing and interpreting. Their smiles had been reviewed, their frowns had been considered. And yet, here we are with miles to go before we (and they) sleep, when the primary process comes to a merciful conclusion.
If you guessed that this method of choosing a party's nominee was somewhere mandated, you would be mistaken. In fact, in the first two presidential elections, the Electoral College was tasked with determining each party's selection. Thereafter, until 1820, the members of Congress made the selection. It was not until 1832 that a national convention of delegates, chosen by we the public, became the accepted method for nomination.
The concept of a national primary day was first birthed over 100 years ago, well before the advent of the modern age of communication. A bill was placed before Congress in 1911 for consideration of having simultaneous casting in all jurisdictions. The bill, and the many attempts thereafter to codify a rule for a one day primary voting process have all failed.
But look at what has been the result. The early states, Iowa and New Hampshire, become virtual home to the candidates. John Kasich reported having undertaken the arduous task of performing at over 100 town halls in the Granite state. Chris Christie basically abandoned governing in New Jersey (some might consider that a good thing) and then failed to garner enough support to even stay in the race after a dismal showing in the first true primary in the nation.
Meanwhile, my home state of New Jersey and others, like California, don't have our primary day until June 7. In most election years, this means that our votes simply don't count, as the front-runner has historically gathered sufficient delegates at that point to make my ballot, and those in many late states, of absolutely no import. Thus, while the first jurisdictions are bombarded with candidate love and affection, we are the unwanted step-child, ignored and without consequence.
So why then do we not strongly consider the realities of the 21st century, when each candidate has more than sufficient time, in myriad ways, to make his or her case simultaneously throughout our nation? Why not bring equal footing and equal weight to what those in my state, or California, or New York, have to say as to the candidate for each party?
Don't merely mouth the words that our inclinations towards a candidate change over time. Of course they do, but why can't all of us uniformly consider and contemplate, rather than a select few?
There is more than ample reason and justification to abandon a long since unnecessary and antiquated system. Let's get out of our horse and buggies and come into the world as it presently exists. Let's not just keep doing what we do, but let's have a national primary day in the early part of the year in which we hold our presidential election.
We need not require the absurd period of contemplation that now prevails. By way of extreme alternative, on April 6, 2010, then prime minister Gordon Brown announced that an election for that position would be held one month later, on May 6, 2010. And so it did, with David Cameron succeeding to that office.
I am not suggesting such a radical revision, but clearly we do not need the time frame presently in place, to make our selection for party nominee. Our task is merely to pay more attention, sooner.

BWW Review: RAUNCHY LITTLE MUSICAL at Landmark On Main Street – Broadway World
Comedienne Belle Barth is back in "Raunchy Little Musical," a lighthearted hysterical show celebrating her extraordinary life. In an age where men were the kings of comedy, Belle conquered show business and made a name for herself as the female Lenny Bruce telling bawdy jokes. Despite failed marriages, the lack of support from her mother, and getting fined and arrested for her foulmouth, Belle still managed to headline the comedy clubs and make the world laugh.
"Raunchy Little Musical" is headed on tour to a city near you and luckily we were able to get a glimpse at the Landmark Theater on Main Street in Port Washington. The show features a sidesplitting book by Joanne Koch and an original catchy score by Ilya Levinson and Owen Kalt. Belle Barth was born Annabelle Salzman. The Jewish comedienne amused the patrons of hotels and nightclubs with her twisted tongue in the 1950's and 1960's. She recorded her comedy routine on many popular records and even played Carnegie Hall. Salzman married five times and reinvented herself more times than that.
Bringing Belle to life is the extraordinary actress Sara Delbeato. Ms. Delbeato commands the stage with her cartoon-like persona and weaves Belle's life story through song and humor. Her singing voice is strong and her charm and charisma even stronger. Ms. Delbeato zings the audience with naughty one liners and makes us blush with every filthy thing that comes out of her mouth. The Borscht belt jokes are shocking and just when you think she can't say anything worse than she already said, she does. Even Ms. Delbeato can't help from laughing along with us at Belle's salacious material.
The musical comedy also features the convincing David Craven as all the men in Belle's life. Each character he creates is so vastly different that you'd think there were dozens of male actors in the show. Mr. Craven is a man of many voices and talents. Jimmy Ferraro's direction is fast and fun full of quick changes, classic storytelling and pure comedy.
At the end of show, I'm sure the audience's cheeks hurt from laughing and smiling just as much as ours. In fact, it was hard to keep a straight face during the ninety minutes and we never got a chance to breathe in between jokes. Ms. Delbeato seemed to be having the time of her life playing this lush character just as much as we enjoyed watching her. Belle's trip through yesteryear is an old fashioned love letter to comediennes everywhere such as queen of comedy Joan Rivers who struggled and succeeded in a male dominated profession. Belle's legacy will live forever and thanks to her nonstop determination for pursuing her passion, the authors of "Raunchy Little Musical" made sure that Belle's audience gets the last laugh!
Book by Joanne Koch, Music bu Ilya Levinson, Lyrics by Owen Kalt and Directed by Jimmy Ferraro
Starring Sara Delbeato as Belle Barth and David Craven as All of The Men In Her Life

PARSHAS EIKEV 5779
"RABBI'S MUSINGS (& AMUSINGS)"
Erev Shabbos Kodesh parshas Eikev
Mevorchim Chodesh Elul
22 Menachem Av 5779/August 23, 2019 - Avos perek 5
It was a really wonderful camp season at Camp Dora Golding this summer b"h. But all good things must come to an end, and on Monday we bid each other farewell.
The last day of camp each summer season is extraordinary. It's quite an operation to send home well over seven hundred campers and staff members to numerous locations, along with their luggage. At the time of departure, there are buses heading to various destinations in different areas of camp. The buses to the Five Towns and Teaneck leaves from the main parking lot. The buses to Queens, Elizabeth, and Newark Airport from the gym. The buses to Brooklyn and the Catskills leave from the Chevra Shul, while the buses to Baltimore and Philadelphia leave from the smaller parking lot.
Camp becomes like a mini airport where you have to know which gate you're leaving from, so that you don't end up at the wrong location.
To help things go smoother, luggage is taken separately. Numerous trucks are stationed around camp with a sign hanging inside the truck informing which destination the truck is going to. On the morning of the last day of camp, the trucks leave camp before the busses, so that when the busses arrive with the campers, their luggage has already been unloaded at that location.
A number of years ago, one of the local drivers camp hired to drive a truck left camp a bit early to make sure he arrived on time. The problem is that when he opened the back door to begin unloading the luggage, he found that the truck was empty. Instead of taking the truck packed to the ceiling with luggage, he had taken a truck that had been used a day earlier to deliver luggage from the girl's camp (which had ended two days earlier) and was waiting to be returned the following day. He had technically done what he was hired to do - to drive a truck. But there is no purpose served from driving an empty truck.
Rabbi Avigdor Miller zt"l notes that we have not come down to this world to merely avoid sinning. While that is of course an integral part of growth and the responsibility of a Jew, that is not enough. A person has to try to make the world a better place in whatever way he is able. He has to spread divinity and morality through his example and behavior, and he has to try to better the lives of others through his actions and speech.
One who lives his life not doing anything wrong, but also not doing anything right, is like the faithful truck driver who made good time, was fuel efficient, and delivered nothing.
This is an integral idea regarding chinuch as well. The Torah unquestionably imposes many restrictions upon us. But it's not sufficient to educate our children about keeping their distance from negative influences and potential dangers. They also must be taught how to "fill up the back of their truck" with spiritual delights and the pleasure of living a life of integrity and meaning.
Every talent and capability G-d has granted to a person has been given to him so that he can use those to help others and enhance the world.
Part of the beauty and uniqueness of summer camp is that it allows campers to utilize talents that they aren't able to necessarily tap into during the school year. During my decades in camp, I have seen numerous campers who have literally shined during the summer, despite the fact that school is an ongoing challenge and mostly unpleasant experience for them. There are many adults today who point to camp as a turning point and invaluable influence in their lives, including this writer.
In that sense, camp helps us capitalize on the divinely ordained talents and gifts we have been granted, so that we not be like the truck driver who drives an empty truck.
We first need to recognize the innate talents and capabilities we have, so that we can capitalize on them and use them to help others as well.
Shabbat Shalom & Good Shabbos,
R' Dani and Chani Staum

A most amazing thought! Rav Eliyahu Lopian would repeat the following in the name of R' Simcha Zissel Broide (aka The Alter of Kelm), one of the prime students of R' Yisroel Salanter;
>> It would be worthy for Hashem to create the entire universe and cause it to exist for 6000 years just so that one Jew would say "Boruch Hu U'voruch Shemo" one time!
>>However, 1000 "Boruch Hu U'voruch Shemo's" is not equal to one "Amein"!
>>Nevertheless, 1000 Amein's is not equal to one "Amein Yehei Shemei Rabbah"!
>>Yet, 1000 "Amein Yehei Shemei Rabbah's" is not equal to one single word of Torah learnt by one Jew!

China and Graham's early culinary world revolved around "Peggy Markel's Culinary Adventures"; the culinary tours that Graham's mother leads in Tuscany, Sicily and Morocco. Sicily is particularly special place for all of us and we plan to devote several dinners to exploring our memories there.
The tours in Sicily begin in Palermo and explore the mysterious, ancient markets full of fresh fish, fruit and strange characters like the octopus man who feeds you boiled fish for breakfast or marinated sheeps intestines grilled over a fire. From Palermo we hop in a van and head to Francu's restaurant where eat swordfish with a slice lemon and drink Cataratto amid the salty smell of the sea.
We wend our way inward to Regaliali through the green hills springing with new wheat and edged with giant cactus. We arrive in the genteel, noble farm and nestle in for a couple of days of cooking with the beautiful ingredients there: ricotta, quince, artichokes, cactus fruit and incredible citrus. We would cook with Anna Tasca Lanza and make homemade mandarin marmalade, fresh ricotta, and dry tomato "passata" in the courtyard on tables in the sun.
China and Graham will work to re-create this experience, while Nate will serve the evocative natural wines of Francesco Guccione from the Monreale DOC just outside Palermo.
We will leave the baroque southern Sicilia of Noto, Ortigia and Modica for another day.

Rupert Everett's Oscar Wilde Movie Is a "Film for the Trump Era"
The actor, writer, and director on The Happy Prince, a movie he says is perfect for our uncertain times.
By Hilary Weaver
Rupert Everett at the Cinema Society screening of his directorial debut, The Happy Prince.By Noam Galai/Getty Images.
Rupert Everett spent years laboring over The Happy Prince, a film about Oscar Wilde's difficult final days set shortly before the celebrated Irish author and playwright died in exile, after being imprisoned on charges of "gross indecency." Now, after a protracted development process that began in 2012, the film is finally about to open in theaters. But Everett, who performed triple duty on the film—he not only stars, but also wrote and directed it—wants potential audiences to know that this movie is more than a typical passion project.
"It's a film for the Trump era in a way, because it's a film about what society does to a man—how society can punish a man just for being homosexual," Everett said at a Cinema Society screening of his film at iPic Theater in Manhattan Monday night. "Now, we have a very comfortable life, but you never know what's going to happen in America next, or anywhere. As a minority, you always have to be vigilant." Indeed, Everett added, the global fight for L.G.B.T.Q. rights is still far from over—just look at countries like Russia.
That said, Everett also acknowledged the intensely personal aspects of the film—and why Wilde's story resonates so deeply with him. "I think, for me personally, he's a very important historical figure, who's a gay person who's worked in a largely heterosexual world," he said. "He's like a patron-saint figure. That's why I've always been very attached to him."
At the screening, Everett thanked other attendees, including Julianne Moore, Colin Firth, and Anna Wintour, for their support of his film and his work over the years.

Through working with their favourite smokehouse, Searcys have developed their very own smoked salmon. This salmon is smoked in brick kilns in a time-honoured technique for ultimate flavour.
1 Gently mix together all of the ingredients until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste taking care not to over salt as the capers and gherkins can be quite salty.
2 Store in the fridge until needed.
1 Prick the potatoes and bake in a pre-heated oven at 175°C / 350°F / gas 4 for 1 hour and 50 minutes or until soft to the touch.
2 Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
3 Scoop out the flesh and pass through a potato ricer or gently mash or with a fork until smooth.
4 Add the smoked salmon, parsley, dill and lemon zest to the potatoes and stir until well combined. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
5 Divide the mixture into 8, each weighing 75g. Shape into balls, fingers or cakes. Cover and allow to chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. Put the flour, egg and crumbs into three separate bowls. Coat the fish cakes with the flour, then egg and finally with the crumbs.
6 Heat a deep-fat fryer to 180°C/350°F. If you do not have a thermometer heat until a 1cm cube of bread browns in 30 – 40 seconds.
7 Deep fry the fishcakes in batches, for 4-5 minutes, or until golden-brown.
8 Place on kitchen paper to remove any excess oil.
9 Serve the fishcakes together with a lemon wedge and some of the tartar salad.
Recipe courtesy of Searcys in honour of their 170th birthday.
