Home/World/Kamala Harris on the relationship with France: "We must not take it for granted"
Kamala Harris on the relationship with France: "We must not take it for granted"
John Michael Send an email November 12, 2021
The US Vice President, Kamala Harris, who this Saturday concludes a five-day visit to Paris, stressed today that her presence in France is a reflection of the importance that her country gives to the bilateral relationship, marked this September by a political crisis, but not take it for granted.
"We must not take relations for granted. (…) I am undoubtedly here as a representative of my country and my presence is a sign of the priority that the United States gives to France," he said at a press conference.
Harris stressed that the objective of his trip was not to address again the dispute that opened last September after Australia canceled a contract for the purchase of French submarines to opt for other Americans in the heat of an alliance with Washington and London hatched behind the back of Paris.
The US and France staged the close of that crisis in the meeting between Presidents Joe Biden and Emmanuel Macron in late October in Rome, in which the former admitted that they had acted "clumsily."
Still, Harris stressed that in his meeting with Macron on Wednesday at the Elysee, they discussed common challenges and the importance of paying attention to established partnerships.
"We understand the importance of being present," he added about his trip to Paris, within which he commemorated this Thursday the Armistice Day of the First World War (in which both countries were allies), inaugurated together with Macron the Paris Forum for La Paz and this Friday participates in an international conference in support of Libya.
"When I think about this (bilateral) relationship, I do so from a historical perspective. We must remember history and lay the foundations for what to do for the future," the vice president added to the press.
Harris also reiterated his country's support for strategic autonomy from the European Union in military matters: "France and the United States have had a supportive relationship for a long time and that will continue," he concluded.

Last week, the Administration published final rules implementing the employer shared responsibility provisions of the ACA. The rules included another one year delay in the implementation of the employer responsibility provisions for employers with 50 to 100 full time employees. The provision that these employers provide health insurance coverage to full time employees or pay a penalty will take effect January 2016. The final rules allow employers to offer coverage of 70% to their full time employees without triggering a penalty. The amount will be raised to 95% in 2016. The proposed rule included a number of transitional provisions that have been extended through 2015, including delaying the requirement that employers make available coverage for their full time employees' dependents as long as the employer is taking steps to arrange for the coverage to begin in 2016.

Dragon Madness energizes basketball fans
November 2, 2015 · by msumadvocate · in Sports. ·
by Adam Watts
wattsad@mnstate.edu
"Are you ready for Dragon Madness!?"
The deep-voiced announcer's question echos loudly through Nemzek as he riles up the crowd of basketball fans who are, as it turns out, ready.
The MSUM men's and women's basketball teams hosted "Dragon Madness" last Monday to generate excitement about their upcoming seasons and familiarize its fan base with the teams.
"It gives our students a chance to get to know the team again," Dragon men's basketball coach Chad Walthall said. "It's still pretty early for people to be thinking about basketball, but our season starts next weekend, so it's a good way to start everything off."
The night began with player introductions. One by one the announcer read the names of each player on the team, and one by one the players ran out to mid-court and threw a miniature basketball into the crowd. The production, which featured a smoke machine and laser light show, was reminiscent of the cinema classic "Space Jam." Instead of Lola Bunny and Michael Jordan, Dragon fans welcomed Heather Strese, Isaac Sevlie and their teammates to the court.
A slam-dunk contest featured members of the men's team. The contest, which was judged by a three-person panel, including 7-year-old super fan Gabby Tack, gave the players an opportunity to channel their inner Kobe Bryant, Vince Carter and "Chocolate Thunder" Darryl Dawkins.
6-foot-4-inch senior guard Evan Holt won the slam-dunk contest for the third consecutive year with a Carter-like windmill dunk. He hit a 360 dunk to qualify for the finals.
The only dunk of the night to receive a perfect score of 30 came in the first round. 6-foot-9-inch junior forward Matt Nelson executed a baseline reverse windmill dunk, reminiscent of Kobe Bryant in the 2004 NBA Playoffs against the Minnesota Timberwolves. It turned out he used his perfect score too early.
In the finals, he appeared to wear himself out, trying several times to hit a between-the-legs dunk. Eventually, energized by a slow clap from his teammates, Nelson put down a "Chocolate Thunder"-esque one-handed tomahawk, but it didn't outscore Holt's windmill.
Earlier in the night, senior guard Tyler Vaughan stood at midcourt and asked the fans to return and support the basketball team this season.
"We have a great group of guys coming back — our core and a lot of returners," he said. "We hope to have a really good season again this year just like last year. We had great support all last season, so we hope to see you again."
The event also functioned as a reintroduction to the Nemzek Noize fan group. The face-paint wearing, flag-waving super fans had a table set up at the entrance of the Nemzek Fieldhouse where they handed out fliers and encouraged attendees to join them in producing an enjoyable atmosphere at Dragons games this season.
"Nemzek Noize is a group that was formed in 2009, and it had a lot of support originally, and over the last couple of years it has faded away," Nemzek Noize president Aaron Simmons said. "Last year, it wasn't even a thing. So we got this thing rebooted, and we're looking for more support and more people to go to games. Our athletics are doing really well right now, and we want to give them the rightful support they deserve."

"...he demonstrated that he has all the necessary qualities for this race when winning the Scottish National last season..."
13:45 - POKER PLAY (12) showed much improved form to win a valuable handicap at Uttoxeter three weeks ago, hitting the front three out and quickly asserting thereafter, with nine lengths back to his nearest pursuer at the line. Admittedly, an 11 lb hike in the weights makes life tougher here, but he still sets the standard on weight-adjusted ratings, and there is no reason why he shouldn't give another good account for the in-form David Pipe (five winners from his last 14 runners), who has won this race three times in the last eight years. SIRE DU BERLAIS (1) came out on top in a hotly-contested Pertemps Final at the Cheltenham Festival, and with more to come from him over staying trips, he's also considered for Placepot purposes, while Coolanly and Theclockisticking are others who enter calculations.
14:25 - ONE FOR ROSIE (6) ran a blinder off top weight in the EBF Final at Sandown, only just caught on the line by another improver. He looks well worth a crack at this level, with further progress on the cards, and is fancied to provide his connections with a timely boost before Go Conquer's run in the Grand National. Brewin'upastorm sets the standard on his fourth in the Ballymore at Cheltenham and is feared most ahead of Angels Breath, who could easily bounce back from his disappointing effort at the Festival, and the unexposed Umbrigado.
15:00 - US AND THEM (7) has been a model of consistency this season and, though no match for the winner Duc des Genievres, he did extremely well under the circumstances to finish second in the Arkle at Cheltenham last time, staying on strongly after finding himself with plenty to do (still only seventh) three out. Duc des Genievres' absence here gives this the look of a sub-standard renewal, and Us And Them would appear to hold better claims than most under regular pilot J.J. Slevin - he sets the standard on weight-adjusted ratings and will be suited by a return to more positive tactics than those employed at Cheltenham. Clondaw Castle and Destrier complete the shortlist.
15:35 - APPLE'S JADE (14) wasn't herself in the Champion Hurdle, but her record suggests she's unlikely to stay down for long, and she stands out on form if recapturing the level of her three wide-margin Grade 1 wins this season, notably when beating Thursday's Aintree Hurdle winner Supasundae by 20 lengths at Fairyhouse in December. Sam Spinner was very much back in his game when second in the Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham and can give the selection most to do, along with last year's runner-up Wholestone.
16:20 - DEBECE (4) completed a simple task in novice company at Catterick last month, already in control when left clear by the fall of Lord du Mesnil three out. That form is not the easiest to weigh up in the context of this race, but his good placed efforts at this meeting for the last two years give us a better idea of what he is capable of, and a BHA mark of 141 could underestimate him on his handicap debut in this sphere, with the prospect of more to come after only three runs over fences. Fellow novices MISTER MALARKY (2) and Kildisart head the dangers having acquitted themselves well in Grade 1 company at the Cheltenham Festival, with the former narrowly getting the verdict as a second selection for Placepot purposes.
17:15 - JOE FARRELL (40) proved better than ever when second on his most recent outing at Newbury, giving game chase to the winner (who was in receipt of plenty of weight) and pulling well clear of the rest in doing so. Still relatively lightly raced after only eight starts over fences, Rebecca Curtis' charge seems to be coming to the boil at just the right time, and the money that came for him earlier in the week could prove well placed - he demonstrated that he has all the necessary qualities for this race when winning the Scottish National last season, and sneaks in at the bottom of the weights here on a potentially lenient mark. He is joined in the Placepot by JURY DUTY (20), who proved at least as good as ever when making a successful return at Down Royal, while Tiger Roll, Lake View Lad and Walk In The Mill are others with solid claims in a typically competitive renewal.
18:20 - FLASHING GLANCE (7) was value for a bit extra when scoring at Ludlow last time and could be the way to go in a tricky finale, with a 4 lb rise in the weights more than fair. West To The Bridge, Lord Yeats and Whatmore, whose strong-travelling style suggests he could be well suited to the demands of this race, head the list of dangers.

Q: Is there an easier way to check existence of properties? I have a object for example:
var extra = {
  field1: {
    foo: {},
    bar: {}
  }
}

field1 is not guaranteed to be set, If I need to check the existence of extra.field1.foo, I have to use:
if(typeof extra.field1 != 'undefined') {
    if(typeof extra.field1.foo != 'undefined') {
        ....
    }
}

Is there any simpler way to do the check?

A: You could use the in operator.

The in operator returns true if the specified property is in the specified object.

if ('field1' in extra && 'foo' in extra.field1) {
    // true for foo
}

A: You can use Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty() as well as in operator. But for simplicity you can check the existence of properties like this:
if (extra.field1 && extra.field1.foo ) {
    // ...
}

A: You could create a function that takes an array (or a string) and checks for each element in it, then you can check the existence of every nested property with only one conditional in your code.
obj1 = {
    field1: {
    col1: 1,
    col2: 'a'
  }
};
function checkExistence(arr) {
  // if arr is a string convert it into an array before checking it
  if (typeof arr == 'string') {
    arr=arr.split('.');
  }
  checked = arr[0]; i = 1;
  checks = window.hasOwnProperty(checked);
  while (checks && i < arr.length) {
    checked+='.'+arr[i];
    checks = typeof eval(checked) != 'undefined';
    ++i;
  }
  if (!checks) console.log(checked+' is undefined');
  else console.log(checked+' is defined');
  return checks;
}
checkExistence(['obj1','field1','col1']);
// obj1.field1.col1 is defined
checkExistence(['obj1','field1','col3']);
// obj1.field1.col3 is undefined
checkExistence(['obj1','field2','col3']);
// obj1.field2 is undefined
checkExistence(['obj2','field2','col3']);
// obj2 is undefined
checkExistence('obj1.field1.col1');
// obj1.field1.col1 is defined

...

if (checkExistence('obj1.field2.value1')) {
    // do something
}

A: You always will have to check both fields, but you can write it in different ways. If you are sure that you are checking objects, then the following code would be safe enough:
if (extra.field1) { //if field1 is not null / undefined / zero / empty string / false
  if (extra.field.foo) {...}
  ...
}

That won't be safe if field1 can be 0 or an empty string, because both are "falsy" values

A: Use Object's hasOwnProperty(prop) for this task.
if (extra.hasOwnProperty('field1') && extra.field1.hasOwnProperty('foo')) {
    // ...
}

A: If you just want to know if an object has a particular property, no matter where in the prototype chain, you could use the in operator:
if (myprop in myobj) {
    ...
}

Consider that his method will check all the properties and method that your object has and the method it get from the 'language'.
As an example:
var o = {
    "myprop": true
};

if ("toString" in o) {
    console.log('toString exists');
}

It prints out 'toString exists'.
If you're interested in checking just inside the object, you have to use:
if (Object.hasOwnProperty.call(myobject, myprop)) {
    ...
}

This avoids the inherited method like toString and hasOwnProperty.
The dirty way is using the !! method:
if (!!myobject[myprop]) {
    ....
}

This way force to convert any myobject[myprop] to a boolean value.
The issue with this, is when you could have values that could convert in false, like empty string or null or undefined or, of course, a boolean false!

A: This method can check any depth with no limit.

function exists(node, chainString) {
  return chainString.split('.')
    .every(prop => node && prop in node ? (node = node[prop]) || true : false);
}

nodes = [
  {x: { y: { z: 43 }}},
  {x: { y: { z: undefined }}},
  {x: { y: null }},
  {x: []},
];

console.log(nodes.map(n => exists(n, "x.y.z")));

One of my biggest fears is public speaking. I know, I'm a teacher, so how can I be afraid to speak in front of a group of people when I do it every day? In fact, I have six classes a day that I prepare presentations and demonstrations for with around 25 students per class. In class, in front of my students it's different though. I'm not trying to demonstrate how informed I am on a subject. I'm not trying to impress anyone. All I'm trying to do is help my students learn math. I am trying to help them learn how to think, how to problem solve. I am trying to help them dissect the information they are given and solve the problem at hand.
And really speaking in front of my class of students is different because I'm not just presenting or lecturing to them. I am creating a dialogue, a discussion. I want them to have enough information to question, discuss with one another, to clarify each other's thoughts, and to help them teach each other. In my classroom there's a lot more student talking going on than there is me talking. To me public speaking means talking in front of a crowd while they listen, it's not a back and forth thing. So my classroom is way different than public speaking.
I use to get so nervous that I would forget everything I was suppose to say and then I would end up reading completely from my note cards. While it is one of my biggest fears and trust me I am horrible at it, I have gotten somewhat better at it. In the past few years, I have put myself out there several times to present before my peers. I have lead meetings at my school and attended a few conferences that I have presented at. For me there are a couple of things that I have to keep in mind. First, I have to be prepared and I mean really know the topic at hand. Second, if something isn't working you need to be flexible and switch it up. You know the topic so go somewhere else with it. And I just try to remember to be me. I'm not all serious and businesslike. I have a personality and I try to inject some of that into my public speaking.
So, how do you feel about public speaking? Is it one of your biggest fears? What are your tips?
Also I hate speaking in public and usally I try to don't think there are so many eyes that are watching me!
I am terribly afraid of public speaking, to the point that I could never consider being a teacher. I'm also very afraid of bugs.
I hate public speaking so much! I can get up and dance, act, or sing in front of people but public speaking terrifies me!
i am not fan of public speaking either ! xO!
Ahhhhh I HATE public speaking too. It's probably my biggest fear after spiders (I got bite by one once and it scarred me for life). I have a huge presentation coming up that my VP and all these other important people will be there for and I am absolutely petrified of forgetting everything. I'll let you know how it goes in two weeks.


Geoffrey, the younger brother of Henry the Young King, was the third surviving son of Eleanor of Aquitaine and Henry II. Born in 1158, he succeeded to the Duchy of Brittany upon his marriage to Constance, the daughter and heiress of Duke Conan IV, in 1181. He supported his elder brother Henry in both 1173 and 1183 rebellions against their father, and, in case of the second one, against their brother Richard.
Geoffrey has always been "neglected" by historians, perhaps because he was the only son of Eleanor and Henry who never wore a crown. "Duke among kings", as he could be called. At present I'm working on his biographical note which should appear on 23 September, being his birthday. Today, however, I would like to focus solely on the events surrounding Geoffrey's untimely death and the depiction of this sad event as described by the contemporary chroniclers*.

As a small business owner in Alberta, being aware of what constitutes adequate insurance coverage is a must. While our goal is not to frighten you, the truth is that it is not uncommon to see businesses fail or go bankrupt when these situations could have been avoided with proper coverage planning.
If you own a small business but don't know where to start from, Sharp Insurance has compiled a list of the three most common questions related to business insurance coverage in Alberta. We highly recommend that you read through these questions and their answers before making any kind of concrete plan.
What kind of insurance policy should I purchase? For most business owners who are just starting out in Alberta, being covered under a general liability insurance policy is often more than enough. As the name entails, this policy covers your business in the event of someone suing you for bodily and/or property damage that they might have incurred on your premises. Of course there exist numerous other types of insurance policies out there such as commercial auto insurance coverage and commercial property insurance coverage as well. It is up to you (and maybe your insurance broker) to sift through the ones that you need and the ones that you don't.
How expensive is commercial insurance coverage in Alberta? Unfortunately, there is no "one-size-fits-all" answer to this question because it depends on many, many things. What we can tell you, however, is how to make your monthly insurance premiums less expensive than they currently are (or will be). If you are interested to learn more about that, feel free to browse through our blog archive. We have gathered several tips in the past that can help you achieve just that.
It can happen to the best of us. Perhaps you suffer a prolonged or serious illness and have run up large medical bills or perhaps you are laid off and are forced to use your credit cards to pay the monthly bills.

Most confirmation hearings for ambassador nominees go off without a hitch. But this was not the case with Thomas A. Shannon Jr., President Barack Obama's choice for ambassador to Brazil.
The veteran diplomat irked Republican Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa when he heard that Shannon, at his July 8, 2009, hearing, implied that the United States might consider dropping its tariff on sugar-based ethanol made in Brazil—a move that would create competition for Iowa-corn-based ethanol made in the U.S.A.
Grassley threatened to hold up Shannon's confirmation until he received assurances from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Trade Representative Ron Kirk that the Obama administration had no intentions of lifting the 54-cent-gallon tariff on Brazilian ethanol, thus freeing the way for Shannon to head off to São Paulo. The Senate did finally confirm Shannon on December 24, 2009 (seven months after President Obama announced his nomination), and he assumed the position of ambassador on January 10, 2010.
Born in 1960, Shannon attended college at William and Mary, where he received his Bachelor of Arts in government and philosophy in 1980. He later earned a master's (1982) and a doctorate (1983) in politics from Oxford University.
After entering the Foreign Service in 1984, Shannon's first assignment was as the consular/political rotational officer at the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala City, Guatemala from 1984 to 1986. This was followed by work as the country officer for Cameroon, Gabon, and São Tomé and Principe from 1987 to 1989.
In 1989, Shannon received his first assignment to Brazil, serving as special assistant to ambassadors Harry Shlaudeman and Richard Melton at the U.S. Embassy in Brasilia until 1992. Next, he went to South Africa, where he was regional labor attaché at the U.S. Consulate General in Johannesburg for four years.
Nineteen ninety-six found Shannon back in South America, working as a political counselor at the U.S. Embassy in Caracas, Venezuela until 1999. Then, it was back to Washington, DC, to serve as Director for Inter-American Affairs for the National Security Council for one year.
In 2000, he was made U.S. Deputy Permanent Representative to the Organization of American States, followed by an assignment as Director of Andean Affairs at the State Department (2001-2002), and then as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Western Hemisphere Affairs (2002-2003). He was the chief U.S. negotiator for the 2001 Inter-American Democratic Charter.
Shannon went back to the White House in 2003 to serve as Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Western Hemisphere Affairs at the National Security Council. Two years later, in November 2005, he was appointed Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs, a post he held until becoming ambassador to Brazil.
Shannon speaks Portuguese fluently. He and his wife, Guisela, have two sons. Shannon's brother, Paul, is an FBI agent who has served in both Iraq and Afghanistan.

AFSA Survey Results: Comments on the U.S. Foreign Service and Secretary Rice's Leadership (by Thomas Shannon, Dipnote)


After receiving the book "Turkish Fire" as a birthday gift, my excitement about the flavours of Turkey was reignited. When we travelled there ten years ago I was in good health. I loved the Turkish food. I loved the way a meal was structured, the flavours and the ingredients but unfortunately for me now, I can no longer eat onions and garlic without uncomfortable repercussions. Along with bourghul, wheat breads and pastries, they are present in quantity in the Turkish daily diet and therefore in the majority of recipes published for the English speaking world.
Keen to try making Turkish lamb pizza, I referenced books about sourdough bread and Turkish food to try my hand at making sourdough spelt pide. Yoghurt is traditionally added to Turkish bread dough, sourdough and yoghurt are both fermented so it seemed a feasible transition. I simply replaced some of the water in the dough with whisked natural yoghurt.
Inspired by both Greg Malouf's filling for Lamb and Pine Nut Borek from Turquoise and Sevtap Yuce's Turkish Lamb Pizza topping from Turkish Fire, I made my lamb filling concentrating on robust spice for flavour. Sevtap Yuce recommends marinating the filling ingredients overnight, and I'm sure this valuable tip helped the warm spicy flavours infuse the lamb.
Taking the stuffed pide pies from the oven was a "wow" moment. They were also seriously good to eat.
My Turkish lamb stuffed pide pies may not the genuine article, but my modifications made for excellent eating in the Turkish style.
Thoroughly combine all the ingredients by kneading together until homogeneous.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but best overnight.
Measure the starter, flour, and salt into a large bowl.
Whisk together the yoghurt water and oil until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix to a shaggy dough, adding a little more water if necessary.
Tip the dough onto a bench and knead until it's smooth and pliable.
Clean the mixing bowl, brush the inside with oil, add the dough turning it once to coat, then cover tightly with plastic and set aside until double in bulk. Mine took 3 hours.
Preheat the oven to 200C. Line 2 oven trays with baking paper.
Gently knock back the dough then divide into 4 equal portions.
Shape the dough into balls with a smooth surface and set aside for 10 minutes for the dough to relax.On a floured bench stretch each portion of dough into an oblong 30cm X 18cm.
Crumble a portion of meat along the centre of each dough base.
Pinch the ends together to create a boat shape.
Scatter pine nuts over the lamb.
Bake the side pies for 20-25 minutes, until the lamb is cooked and the bread crisp.
Remove from the oven, brush the bread with olive oil, then allow to rest for 10 minutes for the meat juices to be reabsorbed.
I'm looking for other ways to use my sourdough starter, and to feed us and stock the freezer with DIY "takeaway" simply & cheaply. These pides look lovely is and has given me an idea of how versatile sourdough is.
Hi there.iwas wondering if you made some regular recipes but sourdough fermented? I have mild gluten intolerance and aparently fermenting the baked goods reduces it dramatically.please share your experiences with sourdough.
Hi Emil, The state of gluten in slowly fermented sourdough bread is the same for any bread made with wheat spelt or rye. The fermentation alters the state of the sugars, not the gluten. If you search my categories file in the right hand sidebar you will find a sourdough tab. The information there may help you make slow fermented sourdough bread. I urge you to be clarify your intolerance before proceding.
Some day…someday I will have time to gather ingredients and try so many of your recipes that feature alternatives to ultra fine, over processed bleached white flour. These sound delicious.
I loved the Turkish food when we visited there, wonderful spicy savoury flavours. If I had a Turkish restaurant nearby I'd be dining there in a flash.
So glad to see your options growing with the spelt sourdough! This looks absolutely delicious.
My fam would adore this! What a great autumn meal.
Looks delicious. I love the addition of all the spices. The flavour and aroma must must be quite something.
G'day Sandra, these pie's/pizza's look delish – now some cooler weather is here, its time I fired up the pizza oven & give these a go.
I don't know anything about Turkish cuisine, but this looks and sounds great. No 2nd proofing step before baking?
Sandra, that top photo is fabulous.
I'm impressed with your spelt sourdough dedication- I can tell you are absolutely loving being able to eat bread again.
Well, I may not make the Turkish flatbread but I am seriously impressed by the lamb filling: some terrific flavour notes there . . . think I can use this is a number of ways. Your pies do look beautiful tho' – shows what one can accomplish to overcome difficulties . . .

Standing Room Only: Scene
This page reproduces a scene from the play offering an insight into and a taste of the unpublished work. The dialogue is reproduced in the style of the original including grammatical choices / errors.
Act 1, Scene 1 (pages 10 - 11)
(A double-decker bus).
Pa: Who's she going to meet then?
Nita: It's not who she's going to meet. It's who she's trying to meet.
Pa: Like who?
Nita: Like some man.
Pa: What for?
Nita: Oh Pa. What do you think for. How do you think I got engaged to be registered?
Pa: Do you mean…?
Nita: That's what she's hoping to do. That's how I did it.
Pa: How?
Nita: In the Government Multiple Stores. I kept going down there until I met someone I liked.
Pa: Is that how you met John?
Nita: Yep.
Pa: I was never told about this.
Nita: You never asked -
Pa: Well, swipe me - let's get this straight. Am I to understand that you went round and round the Government Multiple Store with your polythene basket till you saw somebody you liked the look of and then asked him to marry you. Am I right?
Nita: Yes, more or less.
Pa: Got a romantic nature, haven't you?
Nita: Oh, Pa. You're so antiquated. This is 1997. You ought to keep up - like Ellie. She wanted to know all about it. That's the way everybody does it these days.
Pa: Is it? Well, it wasn't the way I did it.
Nita: You were different.
Pa: We were young people, same as you are.
Nita: Yes, but… it was different then. When you and Ma first met I expect you went out and did things together, didn't you?
Pa: Yes… (He smiles, recovering) yes, yes.
Nita: Well, you can't today, can you? Things are different. When do I get a chance to go out? A two-hour pass once a week, that's all. I can't waste that wandering around looking for someone, so it's got to be with a shopping pass. Cora and I used to take it in turns. She went one morning, I went the next. And if you've only got three-quarters of an hour a day to find a husband and do the shopping, you can't waste time, can you?
Pa: I suppose not. Is that what she's got down on that shopping list of hers? Milk, sugar, husband…?
Nita: It's human nature, Pa.
Pa: Doesn't sound human nature to me.
Nita: Well, it works. I'm getting registered.
Pa: Yes, you are, aren't you? To a typical product of the Government Multiple Store - mass produced and dehydrated. Did you get him free with a packet of soup or something?
Nita: I wish you'd talk to John, Pa.
Pa: Ha, me? Talk to that great roll of red tape with hair on - ? Not likely.
This scene is reproduced from an original manuscript of Standing Room Only held in the Ayckbourn Archive at the Borthwick Institute of Archives at the University Of York.
Although unpublished and unavailable to produce, Standing Room Only is the earliest of Alan Ayckbourn's plays that he has expressed any satisfaction with and at least went on to a second production (being the first Ayckbourn play to be directed by the playwright himself).
This scene is taken from the final version of the play - it went through numerous extensive revisions over several years - and isn't present in any form in the original manuscript.
As the first of Alan's speculative-fiction plays, it's an interesting look as how he builds worlds. The original version of the play is extremely exposition-heavy and goes into (arguably, too) much detail about the world in 2010. By the final draft, the future world (now 1997) is revealed more through casual conversation and showing; not altogether dissimilar to how he will handle his later forays into the genre.
This scene is notable for showing the disparity between the generations, particularly in a world which has changed so much. It serves the multiple purpose of establishing the relationship between Nita (originally Neeta) and her father as well as how much life has changed since gridlock closed down the entire country years earlier. It's one of the earliest examples of Alan tackling the conflicting viewpoints of different generations which will become common in his writing (Absent Friends and GamePlan to name but only a notable couple).
It also subtly builds in the idea of a dystopian future under a draconian Government where people are allowed two hours to leave their residence once a week and the shops are all Government run (later revealed as a means of controlling the country's birth rate through weekly 'vitamin' allowances).
It is also very typically Ayckbourn in mixing the extraordinary with the ordinary (finding a husband whilst doing the shopping).
The scene is an interesting look at an early piece of world-building by Alan Ayckbourn and sets the precedent for future plays such as Henceforward..., Comic Potential and Surprises.

Obituary for Cora L. Mollen
Cora L. Mollen, of St Germain, Wisconsin, passed away on August 4, 2019, at her home surrounded by her loving family.
She was born to Harvey and Marguerite (Prunty) Arndt, June 9, 1934, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She graduated from Divine Savior High School in 1952, and then entered the religious order of the Sisters of the Divine Savior. She completed her MA in English from Marquette University. As a nun, Cora lived in Rome, Italy, from 1959-1962, at the Sisters Motherhouse for the Sisters of the Divine Savior. While in Italy, she studied theology at the Regina Mundi International Institute. In 1968, she left the order and worked as a school teacher in the Milwaukee Public School System. She married Roy C. Mollen on June 10, 1971, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They moved to St Germain in 1973, inspired to purchase their home because of the beautiful St Germain River in the backyard. They raised their two children there and remained there through the rest of their years.
Cora was a self-taught naturalist, who helped to establish the Awassa Trails in St Germain, in 1995, while she worked for Wisconsin Public Service. She was a skilled mycologist and co-authored a book on mushrooms called "Fascinating Fungi of the Northwoods". She founded the Northstate Mycological Club in 1996, and was its coordinator 23 years. Cora regularly lead nature hikes and was active in educating people of all ages about the natural world. She was also a member of the Sayner-St Germain Fish and Wildlife Club, the Friends of the Plum Lake Library, and the Plum Lake Library Book Club.
She was a prolific poet and also enjoyed both watercolor painting and drawing. Other interests included hiking, reading, nature study and canoeing, especially along the St Germain River. Probably her favorite pastime of all was playing and spending time with her grandchildren.
She is survived by two children: David (Sara) Mollen and Anne (Scott) Small, both of St Germain; a brother: Murray (Francis) Arndt; sister: Terrie (Ralph) Bormet; and 3 grandchildren, Cora A. Mollen, Ayla M. Mollen, and Murray R. Small.
The family will be holding a private remembrance. Cora asked that any memorials go to children's books and programing at the Plum Lake Public Library. If you are interested in making a donation, please make check payable to Plum Lake Public Library, specify in the memo line "in memory of Cora Mollen", and mail to PO Box 229; Sayner, WI 54560.
Services are private.

Plentiful: The Big Book of Buddha Food
Chrisi and Louis van Loon, Paul Atkinson and Angela Shaw
Jacana Media
Review: Karen Watkins
Plentiful continues the gastronomic adventure of books by the Buddhist Retreat Centre in Ixopo, KwaZulu-Natal. This is the third in a series of vegetarian food, tried and tested in the kitchen of this internationally renowned meditation centre. The others are Quiet Food (2005) and The Cake the Buddha Ate (2011).
With photographs by Angela Shaw, the book has eight headings: soups, salads, mains, sides, sweet treats, tea time, bread and pastry and back to basics.
The dishes were created by innovative chef Paul Atkinson who, with the help of cooks Lindiwe Ncgobo, Lungi Mbono, Dudu Memela and Nonkanyiso Dlamini, runs the kitchen and turns out a feast fit for royalty.
Threading its way through the pages is the story of how the centre came to be founded on a wasteland during the 1970s. Of how Chrisi and Louis van Loon cleared alien vegetation and planted trees representing the Eight-fold Path leading to the centre.
But the proof is in the pudding, as they say, and my copy of the book soon had stickies of paper marking the pages with recipes suitable for my capabilities.
Assembling a list of ingredients, I excitedly set to work on the dishes.
I tried Rocket to a new beet and the colour of this salad was intoxicating. The taste is a blend of sweetness of pecan nuts offset by salty feta cheese.
All aboard the Marrakesh express turned into a casserole for a large family, inspiring me to invite over a veggie friend. He enjoyed the mix of sweet, spicy and pungent while I will leave out the raisins and apricots next time.
Plentiful is no ordinary cookbook. For starters, many recipes can easily be converted for vegans – by removing the feta from the beetroot salad – or for carnivores – by adding chicken or lamb to the Moroccan stew.
Other dishes I will try are a festival of fungi surrounded by polenta; tantric tarts of roasted vegetables and puff pastry; and the decadent chocolate vegan cake for my friend, Debbie.
So don't be shy, delve into this book's healthy nuances of the delicious diversity that is South African vegetarianism, with a twist of your own. Plentiful overflows with yummy dishes which are sure to intrigue carnivores and maybe even Banting-vores.
Tony Jackman
Human & Rousseau
This cookbook is a memoir, a life story, punctuated by recipes. Tony Jackman is a writer, elbowing his way into journalism, initially as shipping editor, then as an arts writer and even an occasional restaurateur, which provides the basis for this book. He writes about the culture of food and the ingredients that go into it.
Born in Yorkshire, this is where he started to cook – see the recipe for Yorkshire puddings, learnt from his dad and cousin, Molly.
His relationship with his dad is complex although Tony says he was not a bad cook.
Now, aged 62, he is loving life and, at a book launch at Buitenverwachting on June 8, said he was three days away from being the age his dad was when he died.
Tony scoffs at vegetarians but no matter the book is as delicious to read as the recipes inside it.
Tony has lived in many places, including Oranjemund, "the town built on a green eye and a callous heart. Where giant yellow Caterpillars with wheels the size of houses tear up the earth in search of diamonds that stud the tempting dirt".
He had a choppy childhood. At high school in Sea Point he spent more time being truant, a symptom of being bullied.
He has lived in Sutherland where he had a restaurant for two years, in Cradock, Grahamstown and then back to Cradock – one of Olive Schreiner's town's – which led him to write plays about her. He presently lives in Grahamstown.
And so it's no wonder that Karoo lamb is his meat. At the launch, Tony praised Buitenverwachting's chef Edgar Osojnik, for his version of Obies Oxtail Potjie – made with two stout oxtails from a portly cow, red wine and Old Brown Sherry.
Other sections include "Forlorn dogs and food for the soul", "Vanilla hubcaps and cardamom dreams", "Hantam tassies", "Pariah parsnips and purple rain".
And then there's "dinner at the end of the line" – no – don't turn to page 209. Ok, you did, you found three recipes: lamb shank with thyme, oregano, lemon and minted yogurt.
And two desserts, both using chocolate, the tart is "the last taste on the palate, creamy, luscious and soothing. Chocolate can take your mind off almost anything. Even the looming end of everything."

Don't Believe Everything You Hear about Stem Cells
The science is progressing rapidly, but bad actors have co-opted stem cells' hope and promise by preying on unsuspecting patients and their families
By Deepak Srivastava on September 4, 2019
Stem cell science is moving forward rapidly, with potential therapies to treat intractable human diseases on the horizon. Clinical trials are now underway to test the safety and effectiveness of stem cell–based treatments for blindness, spinal cord injury, heart disease, Parkinson's disease, and more, some with early positive results. A sense of urgency drives the scientific community, and there is tremendous hope to finally cure diseases that, to date, have had no treatment.
But don't believe everything you hear about stem cells.
Advertisements and pseudo news articles promote stem cell treatments for everything from Alzheimer's disease, autism and ALS, to cerebral palsy and other diseases. The claims simply aren't true--they're propagated by people wanting to make money off of a desperate and unsuspecting or unknowing public. Patients and their families can be misled by deceptive marketing from unqualified physicians who often don't have appropriate medical credentials and offer no scientific evidence of their claims. In many cases, the cells being utilized are not even true stem cells.
What to Believe?
Advertisements for stem cell treatments are showing up everywhere, with too-good-to-be-true claims and often a testimonial or two meant to suggest legitimacy or efficacy. Beware of the following:
• Claims that stem cell treatments can treat a wide range of diseases using a singular stem cell type. This is unlikely to be true.
• Claims that stem cells taken from one area of the body can be used to treat another, unrelated area of the body. This is also unlikely to be true.
• Patient testimonials used to validate a particular treatment, with no scientific evidence. This is a red flag.
• Claims that evidence doesn't yet exist because the clinic is running a patient-funded trial. This is a red flag; clinical trials rarely require payment for experimental treatment.
• Claims that the trial is listed on ClinicalTrials.gov and is therefore NIH-approved. This may not be true. The Web site is simply a listing; not all are legitimate trials.
• The bottom line: Does the treatment sound too good to be true? If so, it probably is. Look for concrete evidence that the treatment works and is safe.
Hundreds of clinics offer costly, unapproved and unproven stem cell interventions, and patients may suffer physical and financial harm as a result.
A Multi-Pronged Approach to Deal with Bad Actors
The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) has long been concerned that bad actors have co-opted the hope and promise of stem cell science to prey on unsuspecting patients and their families.
We read with sadness and disappointment the many stories of people trying unproven therapies and being harmed, including going blind from injections into the eyes or suffering from a spinal tumor after an injection of stem cells. Patients left financially strapped, with no physical improvement in their condition and no way to reclaim their losses, are an underreported and underappreciated aspect of these treatments.
Since late 2017, the Food and Drug Administration has stepped up its regulatory enforcement of stem cell therapies and provided a framework for regenerative medicine products that provides guidelines for work in this space. The agency has alerted many clinics and centers that they are not in compliance and has pledged to bring additional enforcement action if needed.
In recent weeks, a federal judge granted the FDA a permanent injunction against U.S. Stem Cell, Inc. and U.S. Stem Cell Clinic, LLC for adulterating and misbranding its cellular products and operating outside of regulatory authority. We hope this will send a strong message to other clinics misleading patients with unapproved and potentially harmful cell-based products.
The Federal Trade Commission has also helped by identifying and curtailing unsubstantiated medical claims in advertising by several clinics. Late in 2018 the FTC won a $3.3-million judgment against two California-based clinics for deceptive health claims. And just this week, Google announced a new policy that bans advertisements from unproven stem cell clinics and other speculative medical interventions. This policy is much-needed and will hopefully stem the marketing of unproven products, which are a threat to public health.
These and other actions are needed to stem the tide of clinics offering unproved therapies and the people who manage and operate them.
Improving Public Awareness
We're hopeful that the FDA will help improve public awareness of these issues and curb the abuses on ClinicalTrials.gov, a government-run Web site being misused by rogue clinics looking to legitimize their treatments. They list pay-to-participate clinical trials on the site, often without developing, registering or administering a real clinical trial.
The ISSCR Web site A Closer Look at Stem Cells includes patient-focused information about stem cells, with information written and vetted by stem cell scientists. The site includes how and where to report adverse events and false marketing claims by stem cell clinics. I encourage you to visit and learn about what is known and unknown about stem cells and their potential for biomedicine.

After an unusually extended period of very calm markets, the US stock market has slumped overnight. The size of the falls were large but at 4%, these are not off the scale. Pressure had been building in stock markets throughout January as government bonds fell in price. The global stock market rally began to falter two weeks ago and markets finally cracked last night. This all has the feel of a technical correction rather than an indication of any deep seated issue. Many investors had become too complacent and this is a healthy reminder that markets rarely go up in a straight line.
The economic fundamentals remain encouraging and companies are delivering strong profits growth. This provides us with a degree of comfort but we have been warning for some time that valuations are high across all markets. Key to this are low interest rates and record high government bond prices. Crucially, government bond markets have begun to rally as stock markets fell. We would be far more concerned if government bonds and share prices started to fall in unison. Hopefully, this means that we are not at the start of a bear market where investors will suffer an extended period of losses. However, we do caution that certain derivative markets have suffered some unprecedented moves. Modern financial markets are very complex and interrelated, if serious problems emerge from the derivatives markets, this could have consequences for share and bond markets.
Square Miles portfolios have been cautiously positioned for some time. The portfolios will be impacted by the recent falls but at least caution will help mute the effect. Valuations remain high, particularly in the UK government bond market. The moves may open up some opportunities, but we believe that this is not the moment to become aggressively positioned in financial markets.

A Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Ó  , também em tempos designada por Nossa Senhora do Porto, foi elevada a matriz da freguesia em 1570.

Segundo alguns historiadores a sua construção inicial é atribuída aos Fenícios em sec V ac e seria dedicada à deusa Astarte. Funcionaria como marco que assinalava o ponto até onde poderiam subir o rio Lizandro.

A data de edificação da igreja de Nossa Senhora do Ó, na freguesia da Carvoeira, permanece desconhecida, embora alguns elementos decorativos conservados no seu interior, como a pia de água benta, nos indiquem que era já utilizada para o culto no início do século XVI.

Sabe-se que este templo, também designado como igreja de Nossa Senhora do Porto, foi elevado a matriz da freguesia em 1570. Próxima da ribeira de Cheleiros, a igreja está delimitada por adro murado, no qual foi colocado um cruzeiro, com painel de azulejos numa das faces da base.

O corpo do templo é precedido por uma galilé de secção rectangular, de cércea mais baixa, à qual se acede por arco de volta perfeita ladeado por duas janelas. A fachada da igreja, que possui também planta rectangular, possui portal principal de moldura simples, com cornija destacada onde foi gravada a data 1830, encimado por janela rectangular e óculo, sendo rematada superiormente por empena com cruz de pedra. Às fachadas laterais foram adossados corpos anexos, possuindo a da direita portal, que foi aberto em 1709, como indica inscrição na moldura do mesmo. O interior, de nave única, está actualmente muito delapidado, tendo perdido nos últimos anos do século XX a maior parte da imaginária que o decorava, incluindo a imagem de Nossa Senhora do Ó. Destaca-se uma pia de água benta quinhentista, dividida em gomos sem decoração, com boleados junto do friso superior, cujo suporte é decorado por florões. Ao longo dos séculos, a igreja de Nossa Senhora do Ó sofreu diversas inundações, devido à sua proximidade do rio, o que provocou a sua progressiva degradação, atingindo inclusivamente a estrutura do edifício. Nos anos 80 do século XX foram realizadas algumas obras de conservação.

When both procurement and accounts payables collaborate in a holistic, end-to-end procure-to-pay (P2P) process and platform, organizations can find new ways to create savings and open doors to profit-driving opportunities. Unfortunately, many organizations seem to forget there are 2 P's in P2P and so lose out on much of the strategic value they could otherwise deliver to their organization.

Founded in 1944, Ouest-France is the first daily newspaper in France. It specializes in both local and national news and is the highest circulated daily with over 624,000 copies sold per day. The leading French newspaper publishes 53 different local paper editions spread across 12 departments in France, in addition to two digital editions. With a workforce of about 1,400 people, Ouest-France employs around 550 journalists, with the remaining employees working in the technical, accountability and software engineering services. The newspaper also works with over 2,500 correspondents and more than 16,000 distribution partners.
However, like most newspaper companies around the world, Ouest-France experienced a drastic drop in demand with the advent of the internet. This prompted the company to launch a website and take their content online. Ouest-France's website, with 5.4 billion unique visitors and more than 60 million visits per month, currently ranks as the 9th national information website in France.
Business Needs and Challenges
With more customers taking to Ouest-France's digital platform, the company saw sense in completely overhauling the website in 2017. This decision came more from a technical necessity, than merely from a functional point of view. Some high-level tests were executed manually, and software teams practiced a little bit of Continuous Integration (CI) on the old website. However, the lack of feature documentation and shared knowledge caused the website to suffer in terms of quality. This led to multiple hotfixes that needed to be applied frequently, which were costly and potentially risky for the company.
Therefore, there was a need to address software quality in a way that would meet Ouest-France's business needs. The company determined that quality could only be attained through comprehensive product documentation, sharing and designing executable requirements and test automation. Additionally, the desired confidence and product quality pointed towards a possible solution that would utilize the principles of Behavior Driven Development (BDD). A further analysis revealed that a BDD approach would lend its benefits perfectly to Ouest-France's desired organizational goals.
There were challenges however, as embracing BDD would mean completely overhauling the existing software development process. Most of the product owners were not accustomed to the BDD philosophy. Therefore, ensuring that the BDD approach bled through the entire organizational structure was the primary hurdle that had to be overcome. To bolster the adoption of this approach and to actively ensure that their product owners started to think 'agile', Ouest-France decided to use a software tool that would would act as an adhesive to create the quality website they envisioned. SmartBear Software's CucumberStudio was this tool.
Targeted Solution
At the time, Ouest-France did not possess complete documentation of legacy products, which posed a problem at first. CucumberStudio helped them create a comprehensive list of every functionality of the new website, which was now ready to access and analyze on demand. This allowed the company to update, create and enrich their set of executable requirements every day. These requirements in the form of simple test scenarios were stored as living documentation in CucumberStudio and allowed anyone to quickly understand every feature.
This streamlined BDD approach also facilitated discussions between the product owner, developer and tester which reduced the time taken to design the new executable requirements from many hours to a few minutes. This quick turnaround time for setting the requirements was possible as Ouest-France developed and leveraged standardized, reusable action words when creating their test scenarios.
"A major hurdle we faced was the granularity of the executable requirements.," says Florent Vaution, QA manager at Ouest-France. To combat this, they decided to bifurcate the BDD approach into a functional level and a technical level. The former comprised of mainly user interface (UI) testing which proved more difficult and expensive to automate and maintain from Ouest-France's point of view. The latter consisted of tests directly carried out on the APIs that embed most of the features. These API tests were faster to create and execute, and far less cumbersome to maintain, given the current skillsets of their team.
Another challenge initially was the relation with the developers that had to implement action words (ie test steps). Because they started from scratch, building the dictionary of action words was a little expensive during the nascent stages, since there was a lot of refactoring involved. But, by building on to their action word repository and making it more robust, the current cost of creating a new automated test is next to nothing.
Initially, Ouest-France's QA team consisted of only two people who were setting the rules for writing executable requirements and creating action words. They then added three more testers who had no previous experience with BDD. Nevertheless, everyone on the team easily picked up the BDD philosophy and were entrusted with adding new features independently.
Starting out, the QA team members at Ouest-France were the only users of CucumberStudio itself. Slowly, the product owners and the developers were shown demos of how the QA team used CucumberStudio, with the objective of training them to use the tool themselves to write new features. The QA team members were the only ones responsible for the documentation of features and requirements. However, now the product owners and developers do not hesitate to challenge, correct or even change the features written by the QA team.
Another advantage of using CucumberStudio, is that it allowed the QA team to check if a feature has been tested, how it was tested and if an action word already exists for that test scenario to avoid duplication. This especially saved valuable time for Ouest-France which was dealing with more than 400 test scenarios and 500 action words.
Key Results and Takeaways
Since implementing BDD using CucumberStudio for the website redesign project, Ouest-France went from the "idea" to the "production" phase in the first half of 2017. The old website and processes consisted of only some manual tests with no test automation. The new website and processes consist of several hundreds of automated tests and very few manual tests.
Before implementing BDD, they were averaging about one hotfix per day, but now, they can keep up with instantly migrating changes to the production environment for the new website.
Some key CucumberStudio features that Ouest-France found the most useful were:
Autocompletion during scenario design
Ease of use of variables in scenarios
The speed of test run creation
Living documentation
CucumberStudio publisher with links to an SCM and Jenkins

Benjamin believes that health care is a human right. As health care costs continue to increase and the specter of cuts loom, Benjamin will fight to ensure everyone has access to high quality, affordable health care. Within the past year, Benjamin has lobbied on Beacon Hill, knocking on the doors of our elected officials, to advocate for a single payer system, covering all people of the Commonwealth.
Prescription medications, medical equipment, supplies diagnostic tests and treatments.
As a parent of an elementary school student and someone who went to public schools, Benjamin values the importance of public education. Benjamin believes in establishing a universal Pre-K program where all children can benefit. He also believes in fighting the privatization of our public schools and has lobbied to keep the cap on charter schools. Understanding the impact of school budgets, Benjamin will advocate for an update on the Chapter 70 funding formula, ensuring all districts can meet the financial needs.
Benjamin believes that the key to success in our community is creating opportunity for all. As a result, Benjamin has fought for raising our minimum wage to $15/hour, as well as ensuring that there is paid family and medical leave for all employees. Benjamin has also been a strong supporter of our unions and believes that when we support organized labor, we all do better when our unions succeed. Lastly, Benjamin believes in implementing the Fair Share Amendment, which will help further fund our education and transportation infrastructure.
As the son of two trial attorneys, Benjamin grew up with a deep respect for advocating for the most vulnerable within our society. Benjamin believes that we need to repeal mandatory minimum sentences, offenders who are convicted of a certain crime, the same punishment — regardless of whether it fits the crime or the offender or is necessary to keep the public safe. Lastly, Benjamin believes that we need to address the ongoing epidemic of suicides within our prison population by attending to the mental health needs of those who are incarcerated.
Benjamin is an avid outdoors person, who is passionate about protecting our environment. He believes that we need to increase our energy efficiency and adopt a carbon pricing. He also will advocate for fixing the gas leaks and opposing the pipeline tax, which would be at the cost of rate payers. Lastly, he supports efforts for the Massachusetts state pension fund to divest of fossil fuel companies.
