I have yet to travel to Europe. But if there's one country that's non-negotiable in my travel bucketlist, it would definitely be Spain. Why? Well, yes I've heard about all of its dramatic fortifications, glistening coastlines, and splendid architecture. What excites me more though is all the good food it has to offer: tapas, sangria, croquettas, etc. And luckily for us, there's a good of restaurants offering the best of Spanish flair around Metro Manila. But let me tell you this. Nothing comes close to the authentic Spanish Feast from Tapella Bar and Restaurant. Read on to know why.
Located at the ground floor of Greenbelt 5 in Makati, experience a mouth-watering Spanish Feast at Tapella Bar and Restaurant. Tapella opened in 2009 with the initial concept of being a modern Spanish tapas bar. The Spanish restobar can sit upto 160 guests, all set in a modern yet laid-back ambiance.
Tapella draws inspiration from local flavors in the Spanish region and creatively fuses it with key influences from its neighbors. And with generous dish servings, the posh restobar makes a top choice for night-outs and casual business meets amongst both expats and locals.
We started off our feast with a refreshing plate of Chef JP's Tuna Ceviche. A generous serving of chopped up tuna, soaked in vinegar and lemon, and topped with minced onions and peppers. The fresh and zesty flavor of the ceviche was perfectly complemented by the crunchy texture of their homemade chicarones! My family hails from the Mindanao and this reminded me of our local Kinilaw. Yum!
Their salad was a healthy mix of greens topped with classic mediterranean ingredients like capers, olives and onions. It came with a side of their homemade Caesar salad, which by the way was so good because it was seasoned well but light enough.
Carpacio de Ternera (Beef Carpacio, Php 195.00) – HTD Favorite!
I love eating raw sashimi but I've never eaten raw meat (beef) before. I was actually adamant at first because it was a deep red in color. So this definitely was the first and glad I tried it. It was just delightful! The thinly sliced pieces came marinated in pepper, topped with olive oil, Manchego cheese, and a caper. The soft-buttery texture was melt-in-your-mouth goodness.
Boquerones (Anchovies, Php 350.00) – HTD Favorite!
A seasonal menu item, Tapella's Boquerones is made of fresh anchovies drenched with some vinegar and topped with olive oil, minced garlic, and egg. Just like the ceviche, this one was light and refreshing. If Karla joined us that afternoon, I can see her totally obsessing on this one!
Obviously, I'm a big fan of seafood and squid is not an exemption. This one's a lighter version of the famous calamares. Deep fried baby squid served with a side of aioli dip. The freshness of the squid enveloped in the crunchy light batter and dipped in the tasty garlic dip was a clear winning combination.
El De Carne (Angus Beef Skewers, Php 350.00) – HTD Favorite!
Time for some kebabs! Angus Beef Skewere infused with a blend of paprika and Morrocan spices. They were tender, perfectly cooked, and packed a good amount of flavor. Can someone please pass the rice, already? Highly recommended!
To cap off our starters, we had the Pote Gallego. Which was basically a Galician Bean, Pork, Chorizo and Vegetable Stew. It was thick and hearty. I can totally see myself having this as comfort food on rainy days.
Finally, PAELLA! And a delicious, gourmet one at that! A hearty seafood paella, this one's brimming with flavor! The rice was cooked right with a generous topping of shrimp, squid, and mussels. Don't forget to squeeze some lemon on top to balance out the taste of the sea.
Arroz Sobrassada with Herb Sauce (Php 375.00) – HTD Favorite!
I love my seafood but this version of paella by Tapella was actually my favorite. Spanish Chorizo Paella served with a Fine Herb Sauce and Asparagus. It had a deep, curry-ish flavor to it, made more pronounced and flavorful by the herb sauce. Totally different and addictive!
Did I mention their Chorizo is actually locally made and sourced? This homemade pasta topped with a flavorful tomato sauce hit home for me! The pasta was al dente and the mixture of the authentic-flavored sauce and meaty flavor of the chorizo was on point. A little pricey in my opinion but still a delightful dish!
Saving the best for last is the Chuleton Villagodio from Tapella Bar and Restaurant. Certified Angus Beef Prime Rib Grilled Villagodio Style. Served half cooked then finished off on a clay plate seasoned with raw sea salt. The clay plates are actually from Barcelona and have slowly absorbed the taste of the salt and steak over time.
We were privileged to be served by none other than Chef JP and it was pure heaven! The meat was so tender and flavorful (but not overpowering). No knives needed!
Ronin (Php 350.00) – White Sangria infused with Sake and topped with lychee. – HTD favorite!
So the next time you're craving for some good Spanish food, come by Makati and have a feast at Tapella Bar and Restaurant. Perfect for catch up with friends, casual meetings, and even date nightst!
Been here? Share your #TapellaRestobar experience!

One of my resolutions for this year was to write down what I did each day in a little diary, and I have kept that resolution so far. This gorgeous white and gold diary from Typo goes nearly everywhere with me, and writing in it is usually the last thing I do before bed.
This month I haven't quite been journaling in the sense of writing down my thoughts and feelings, but more scribbling down blog ideas, drawing quick sketches, writing down goals and organizing my posting schedule. Yet again, this journal is from Typo and is getting good use!
For Christmas, I received the Wii U game "Hyrule Warriors". Even though it's a Dynasty Warriors style game, the fact that it was a part of the Zelda franchise basically made it essential to play. Overall I definitely prefer the open world, free reign style of the regular Zelda games, but this capture-bases fighting-style game definitely offers a fair bit of difficulty and strategy and kept me hooked until the end of its gameplay, even though it was over quickly.
Recently I decided to try infusing my water with fruit, both to help me try and drink more water and also because of the health benefits of adding lemon to your water. So far I'm loving it! Since it doesn't taste like plain water anymore, I'm drinking so much more and feel so much better because of it.
I left high school with a group of 13 great people that I call my friends, but in January of 2014 Imogen left for a year of exchange in Denmark, and Jesse moved to New Zealand to complete another year of high school. Jesse would come back and visit on our uni holidays, but Imogen was never able to come home to visit. Additionally, due to various reasons, the rest of us still in Australia never managed a full group get together. Jesse returned for a few months in December, and Imogen returned from Denmark in January. Since then, we managed to get the whole group together for Australia Day, for the first time since we graduated in 2013!
I'm fussy when it comes to which alcohol I drink, and I've struggled to find one which I will religiously buy until I tried Midori Splice last year, and since then it's nearly all I drink. The Midori and Pineapple signature of the Midori range is nice, but with the added Rum and Coconut, I think it tastes amazing!
I'm obsessed with succulents – they're easy to look after and bring life into uni rooms. I already own three, but I decided to go find another one – and I found this beautiful pink-topped cactus! I also picked up proper pots for it and the other three while I was at it and they look so cute!
Last year I attended Groovin' the Moo, a regional touring festival, for the first time after wanting to go for years. The lineup was alright, but I loved the day anyway. This year, however, my two favourite bands plus a band I've listened to for six years are coming, and so many more good ones! I want to catch nine artists this year as opposed to last year's five. I get to see Ball Park Music for a third time and San Cisco for a second time and I'm already so excited!
So those are my January favourites – there were a few more than normal but I had a big month full of new things! I can't wait to see what February brings once I'm back at uni!

The definitive story of the American and British Naval Forces at Salcombe and Slapton 1943 - 1945
The inhabitants of the South Hams in Devon little realised how the widely reported Quebec Conference of Allied War Leaders in August 1943 would affect their lives. It was then that final plans were made for the provision of shore facilities necessary to train personnel, maintain and repair landing craft, store and supply all the war materials needed for the landing on the coast of occupied Europe that would ultimately change the course of the war.
In September 1943 the first members of the U.S.N Construction came to Salcombe to establish an Amphibious Base... It was a move that would change life in Salcombe for ever...
'T'was was not only Salcombe itself that was affected by the influx of Americans that vastly outnumbered the local civilian population. The site chosen for battle practise for the D Day landings resulted in a vast area around Slapton Beach being cleared of farms, people, churches and homes, and a way of life that had existed for hundreds of years ending. We did it because it was for the war effort. But it broke our hearts.

Q: Joining tables in Entity Framework I have a table called Students and a table called Majors, Students and Majors are joined by MajorId  I have set this relationship already and have set the foreign key in the schema.  When I access my Student object how can I return the MajorName column (this comes from the Majors table)?  The only options I have in intellisense is Major_1, Major_1Reference, MajorId .

A: Major_1 should be a navigation property leading to the appropriate Major entry, so you should be able to access the Major's properties like this:
from s in ctx.Students
select s.Major_1.MajorName

A: You can use linq join statement like this to make query on the two tables...
var q = from s in Students
        join m in Majors on s.MajorId  equals m.MajorId
        select new { m.MajorName };

What do you get when you cross an existing suburban shopping center, a tenant mix that may or may not relocate, and a hodgepodge of national retailer design standards? The first all retail LEED Core and Shell shopping center in the nation, that's what!
Abercorn Common is a roughly 180,000 sf strip shopping center, located on the southside of Savannah, GA. The award winning retail center was a combination of the renovation of the existing shopping center combined with a heft dose of new construction. Designing around existing tenants and incorporating design standards from numerous retailers was challenging but overcome by the design team and developer and resulted in a LEED SIlver certification in 2005. Abercorn Common features high efficiency rooftop package units and lighting, high performance glazing, and a reflective TPO roof membrane to reduce heat gain, resulting in a 30% energy savings. Water use was reduced by over 50% by a combination of waterless urinals, pressure assisted toilets, and ultra low flow metered faucets. 100% of irrigation needs are met by collecting the roof runoff for irrigation to the tune of nearly 5 million gallons annually. Over an acre of porous pavement treats site runoff, and over 6000 tons of material were diverted from the landfill during the construction process (80%).

German military wants staggering €12bn amid US calls for Berlin to boost defense – reports
German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen has reportedly requested a €12 billion (US$14.6 billion) increase to the military budget over the current parliament term.
According to German Bild am Sonntag, the defense chief is otherwise threatening to put the plug on an international arms project. Von der Leyen's department has already worked out several items for the "kill list," which, according to Der Spiegel, include cooperation on submarines and the purchase of 6 C-130 transport planes desperately needed by the Bundeswehr.
The amount requested by von der Leyen is significantly greater than the €5.5. billion proposed by Finance Minister Olaf Scholz over four years. The request comes after the defense ministry slammed Scholz's plan as "inadequate," citing "accumulated needs and required modernization, particularly in the medium term."
It also follows reports that the German Army is planning to spend around €450 million on brand new rocket launchers, drones, helicopters, and cargo aircraft, after the US blasted Berlin for not contributing its fair share to NATO.
Such militarization plans have been slammed by German political figures and parties, including Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel, who warned Chancellor Angela Merkel in August of last year not to "kneel"to Donald Trump's armament demands. That same month, leaders of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) also sent a "clear no" to Trump's call to boost the military budgets of NATO states to two percent of GDP.
The new US secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, also said on Friday that Germany was not acting quickly enough to increase its military spending, and called on NATO allies to meet the target of two percent of GDP on defense spending. "European nations must bear the necessary responsibilities for their security and make the case to their fellow citizens why it is critical to fulfil their obligations on defense spending," he told reporters following a NATO meeting in Brussels.

'What's best for Donte': DiVincenzo details why he signed with Warriors
Donte DiVincenzo detailed the struggle he endured as he entered a chaotic free agency period while coming off one of his worst seasons

By Madeline Kenney | mkenney@bayareanewsgroup.com | Bay Area News Group
PUBLISHED: July 9, 2022 at 3:44 p.m. | UPDATED: July 9, 2022 at 4:20 p.m.
LAS VEGAS — Donte DiVincenzo knows there's no sugarcoating his stats from last season as he struggled to come back from an ankle injury.
But coming off one of his worst seasons in the NBA, DiVincenzo entered the chaotic free agency period with one thing on his mind.
"What's best for Donte," he said Saturday.
The answer turned out to be just a short drive from where he ended last season.
DiVincenzo officially signed a two-year, $9.3 million deal with the Warriors, the team announced Friday.
The proven role player bolsters Golden State's wing corps depth and his addition fills a key void left by the departures of Gary Payton II and Otto Porter Jr. who signed elsewhere this month.
Speaking to the media for the first time since his signing, DiVincenzo detailed what it was like to be a free agent for the first time since he was drafted No. 17 overall in 2018.
"It was stressful, I'm not going to lie,' he said. "I'm calling my agent, 'What's going on? What are we doing?'"
DiVincenzo said the process slowed down for him once he talked to Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. He said they were "two different types of conversations" — Green "shot it straight to me, and Steph is like the nicest person in the world so everything was good." They talked about the Warriors' highly team-first culture, which eased his mind.
"I got away from the numbers, the dollar signs and everything and I was more so kind of focused on what is best for Donte and what is best for me going forward," DiVincenzo said. "I go back to the culture and the environment, and I think it's something I want to be a part of and it's who I am. I don't have to change to fit in."
DiVincenzo, 25, had a breakout third season with the Bucks, posting 10.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.1 steals per game as a starter before he tore a ligament in his left ankle in the first-round of the 2021 playoffs.
After an agonizing seven months, DiVincenzo made his season debut on Christmas Day but was slow to getting back to his previous form. He averaged 7.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 17 games while shooting 33.1% from the field and 28.4% from 3-point range. The Bucks ultimately traded him to the Kings as part of a four-team deal that moved Marvin Bagley III out of Sacramento.
DiVincenzo turned his season around with the Kings, putting up numbers that more aligned with his 2020-21 campaign.
"In a weird way, I just feel like I ran out of time," he said. "We weren't making the playoffs in Sacramento and when the season ended it was just kind of like 'Alright, you only played two months and you're done.'"
DiVincenzo said he feels great now, adding that, "It doesn't even feel like I had surgery on my ankle." That said, the Warriors' proven history of helping players work their way back from injuries, with Curry and Klay Thompson being prime examples, with another selling point for DiVincenzo, who's looking forward to having a full offseason to recuperate.
"I go back to what's best for Donte," he said. "Being in an organization that takes care of my body first and you can't do anything on the court unless you're healthy and so that's a huge focus for me. I've already been out there with the staff and trying to get acclimated with them and just take my body, take everything to the next level."
DiVincenzo said the Warriors were a "perfect fit" for him, and the saying goes both ways. Though his defense wasn't nearly as good as it was pre-injury, Golden State is anticipating he'll be healthy and be a key contributor mostly off the bench. DiVincenzo believes his proven ability to play alongside stars like Giannis Antetokounmpo will help him with the Warriors' read-and-react offense.
Coach Steve Kerr called DiVincenzo after he inked the deal and told him he only wants the best for the former Villanova star.
"Everything that he asked me I'm willing to do," DiVincenzo said, "and I just want to win games."

Where does the midwest stop and the south begin? I'm not sure, but it could be at milepost 83 on Interstate 55 south of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, where the rolling hills of southern Illinois and Missouri come to an abrupt end. A table-flat plain stretches off to the horizon. "This is it," says geologist David Stewart. "The last hill before the Gulf of Mexico." If it were up to him, there would be a big billboard here reading "You are entering the New Madrid seismic zone," and another one 101 miles south at Blytheville, Arkansas, reading "You are leaving the New Madrid seismic zone." Since he's not in charge, you just have to know that this area is earthquake central for the lower 48.
An alternate travel plan is to start the semicircle tour at Reelfoot, which is just east of Tiptonville on State Highway 21. In addition to motels, it offers two state-park campgrounds. The more attractive one, among cypress trees by the lake, is open April 1 to November 1. The other--a collection of bare lots staked off in an open field, suitable for motor homes--is open all year.
In their seven years of driving the area to research three books on the New Madrid quakes, Stewart and his colleague Ray Knox have developed what amounts to a geologists' gourmet guide to the five-state quake region, with special emphasis on Missouri. If you're feeling a bit flush and touristy, Sikeston (exit 67, population 17,640) beckons with Lambert's, 2525 E. Malone (573-471-4261), an eatery well publicized as "Home of the Throwed Rolls." The food is good, plentiful, and not especially cheap; the piano is live; and warm rolls are indeed lobbed through the air. The atmosphere is a bit like Redamak's in New Buffalo, Michigan, but with more variety on the menu and more stuff on the walls. If you're allergic to tour buses, don't stop.
Sikeston also has a mall with 34 factory-outlet stores, I-55 to exit 57 (800-908-7467), and Granny's Antiques and Museum (573-471-3945). Granny's is six miles off the interstate, not two as promised; follow the signs from U.S. Route 60-62 onto ever smaller blacktops. Be patient with the farm machinery; we met a John Deere 9600 combine that took up both lanes and both shoulders. The store--one huge single room on a concrete slab--contains antiques ranging from hand drills and a canopy bed to antique canning jars full of marbles, Dukes of Hazzard lunch boxes, and yardsticks with small-town business imprints ($12 a pop, so make sure you want to measure something important).
In New Madrid itself (exits 44 and 49, population 3,350), Rosie's on Highway 61 at the corner of Scott Street (573-748-7665), offers your choice of ambience, depending on which of her three doors you enter: "cafe," "lounge," or "dining room." (The roadside sign calls the establishment "Rosie's Colonial Tavern," and the cafe menus read "Bar and Grille.") All share the same kitchen. Stewart and Knox recommend the pie. Downtown, a block from the New Madrid Historical Museum and the offices of the Weekly Record newspaper, the River Bend Cafe, 535 Mott (573-748-9334), a pleasant local hangout, has a reputation for smoked pork chops and Creole gumbo. "Southern hospitality is no myth," says Stewart. On a friendliness scale of 1 to 10, everyone we met in New Madrid rated about 15.
Earthquake connoisseurs shouldn't miss the New Madrid Historical Museum, 1 Main (573-748-5944); small admission fee, located in a former saloon and fish market hard by the Mississippi River levee at the foot of Main Street. Maps, books, photos, a video, and a seismograph help make sense of the geology. Especially fine is a graph comparing the energy released by a tornado, the Nagasaki A-bomb, the New Madrid quake, and the 1964 Alaska quake; it makes dramatically visible the fact that an 8 on the Richter scale releases 32 times as much energy as a 7. Also on display is a 1950s aerial photograph of the town, showing the surrounding farmland freckled with sand boils large and small, each one a place where the ground erupted in 1811-'12.
When it was first opened in 1975 the museum was devoted entirely to "Indians, the Civil War, life on the Mississippi River, and early American history," according to founding director Virginia Carlson. (You can still learn a lot about the key 1862 battle U.S. and Confederate armies fought here for control of the river.) It had nothing about earthquakes. "In all the years I went to school here and lived here, nobody ever told me that there was a possibility of another earthquake," she says. "Even the big one back in 1811-'12 was never talked about." Outside at the top of the levee, a wooden observation deck lets you watch the river (flowing west to east--if you don't understand this, go back inside and check the maps again) and the barge tows (going both ways).
If you haven't had enough history, the Hunter-Dawson mansion dates from 1858 (573-748-5340); small admission fee. In spring don't miss the blooming pink dogwoods along Scott Street. And for what it's worth, Stewart and Knox believe that the New Madrid Golf Course, 1376 Mill (314-748-7794), is "the only one in the world with seismic sand traps." If you get a lie so bad you wish the earth would open up and swallow you--it just might.
The best way to cross the river would be the ferry between Dorena, Missouri (about 15 miles east of New Madrid on county roads), and Hickman, Kentucky (about 25 miles north of Reelfoot Lake on state routes 78 and 94). "The Mississippi River looks awesome from the bank," says Stewart, "but you don't really appreciate it until you're out on it." The ferry hasn't run for the last four years, but operations will resume in mid-June; for up-to-date information call Fulton County judge executive Harold Garrison (502-236-2594).
The rest stop on the northbound side of I-55 at mile 42 has tourist info aplenty, but it doesn't offer the fact that it's the "Bull's Eye," in the words of Stewart and Knox's Fault Finders Guide, "the very center of Epicentral Ground Zero for the largest earthquake in the history of the coterminous United States"--an estimated Richter 8.8 on February 7, 1812--during which the ground rolled in waves and a section of the Mississippi River ran backward for hours.
Moving south, you come to Hayti (I-55 exit 19, population 3,280), which is festooned with fast-food eateries. But the knowledgeable geologist ventures past them to Boudreaux's, 100 N. Highway (573-359-1616), which offers, among other things, "shrimp ten ways," "crawdad lovingly stuffed," and cajun gumbo.
A bit farther off the big road, at Caruthersville (I-55 exit 7, population 7,389), Knox and Stewart praise the liver and onions at the Roundhouse Restaurant, 830 S. Third (573-333-1330). And across the river in Tiptonville, the galloping geologists recommend the "outstanding catfish" at Boyette's Restaurant, Lake Drive, (901-253-7307).
Visitors from the upper midwest shouldn't skimp on Reelfoot Lake. It's not just a hunting and fishing enclave. The state park's first-class visitors' center, on 22 just east of 78 (901-253-7756), is open from 8 to 4:30, though it may close during the lunch hour. Boardwalks built over the swampy lake edges are perfect for viewing wetland wildlife and cypress "knees." Pontoon-boat rides are available from May 1 to October 1; prices vary according to the age of the passenger and the length of the cruise. Daily tours (December 1 to mid-March, except for about a week around Christmas) to view the lake's wintering population of bald eagles require advance reservations. Reelfoot State Park itself includes less than 1 percent of the lake's shoreline, but much of the rest is in wildlife preserves of one kind or another.

GS-3 Indian Economy
Focus: GS-III: Indian Economy (Growth and Development of Indian Economy, External Sector)
Singapore (27.01%) and USA (17.94%) have emerged as top 2 sourcing nations in equity flows into India in FY2021-22 followed by Mauritius (15.98%), Netherland (7.86%) and Switzerland (7.31%).
It may be noted that as per the UNCTAD World Investment Report (WIR) 2022, in its analysis of the global trends in FDI inflows, India has improved one position to 7th rank among the top 20 host economies for 2021.
India is rapidly emerging as a preferred country for foreign investments in the manufacturing sector. FDI Equity inflow in Manufacturing Sectors have increased by 76% in FY 2021-22 (USD 21.34 billion) compared to previous FY 2020-21 (USD 12.09 billion).
About Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is an investment in the form of a controlling ownership in a business in one country by an entity based in another country. It is thus distinguished from a Foreign Portfolio Investment by a notion of direct control.
FDI may be made either "inorganically" by buying a company in the target country or "organically" by expanding the operations of an existing business in that country.
Broadly, FDI includes "mergers and acquisitions, building new facilities, reinvesting profits earned from overseas operations, and intra company loans". In a narrow sense, it refers just to building a new facility, and lasting management interest.
FDI in India
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is a major driver of economic growth and an important source of non-debt finance for the economic development of India.
It has been the endeavor of the Government to put in place an enabling and investor friendly FDI policy. The intent all this while has been to make the FDI policy more investor friendly and remove the policy bottlenecks that have been hindering the investment inflows into the country.
The steps taken in this direction during the last six years have borne fruit as is evident from the ever-increasing volumes of FDI inflows being received into the country. Continuing on the path of FDI liberalization and simplification, Government has carried out FDI reforms across various sectors.
FDI Routes in India
Foreign investment was introduced in 1991 under Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), driven by then FM Manmohan Singh.
There are three routes through which FDI flows into India. They are described in the following table:
Category 1 Category 2 Category 3
100% FDI permitted through Automatic Route Up to 100% FDI permitted through Government Route Up to 100% FDI permitted through Automatic + Government Route
Automatic route: By this route, FDI is allowed without prior approval by Government or RBI.
Government route: Prior approval by the government is needed via this route. The application needs to be made through Foreign Investment Facilitation Portal, which will facilitate the single-window clearance of FDI application under Approval Route.
Global Depository Receipts – GDR
Foreign Depository Receipts – FDR
Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds – FCCB
Foreign institutional investors – FII
Government Measures to Promote FDI
Factors such as favourable demographics, impressive mobile and internet penetration, massive consumption and technology uptake, played an important role in attracting the investments.
Launch of Schemes attracting investments, such as, National technical Textile Mission, Production Linked Incentive Scheme, Pradhan Mantri Kisan SAMPADA Yojana, etc.
The government has elaborated upon the initiatives under the Atmanirbhar Bharat to encourage investments in different sectors.
As a part of its Make in India initiative to promote domestic manufacturing, India deregulated FDI rules for several sectors over the last few years.


I'm writing some American-style puzzles at the Guardian [feed].
For British solvers, the main differences are that abbreviations and fragments of phrases are allowed. All squares are part of an across as well as a down, so there's more ambiguity.
The puzzles are presented as printable PDFs, but are better approached as .puz files using Across Lite or better still Crossword Solver.
Cosmic Encounter: Ignore the name. And the scifi-flavoured box. This is a strategy game, but the brilliance is that each player can utterly break the rules in a different way. One might be permitted to play out of turn; another might be allowed to declare themselves the winner if they go out first. What you do, and who you trust, is determined far more by this rule-breaking than by the straightforward mechanics underneath. The possible combinations of these disruptive powers mean that each time you play, it's a thoroughly new experience – and each time, it's the greatest board game you've ever played.

Our Mission At Candor
We are on a mission to help people find belonging at work. We believe true job satisfaction in tech comes when you can be yourself, in a team where you are included and accepted. But getting visibility on how a team really works together is hard. Tools like LinkedIn and Glassdoor are cluttered with spam, virtue-signaling, and fake or toxic profiles; they don't provide the data needed to make important culture-fit decisions. The end result for employees? A high-risk scenario where people are making major career decisions without the proper data. We believe there's a better way, and so we're building a new kind of professional network.
Candor is focused on how people work not where they've worked. Where other networks show you job titles and work history, Candor shows you how someone is in Slack, whether they're a morning person or night owl, and how they like to get feedback. Candor puts transparency, authenticity, and personal growth first and eliminates the guesswork in culture fit and helping people find where they belong.
We've seen some significant changes in the market over the last year that make Candor a no-brainer solution and make belonging at work even more important than it's ever been.
Perfect online profiles are toxic.
At Candor, we believe that a person's edges, the pointed parts of our competencies and personality that jet out further than the person sitting next to us, are what make us powerful. They may also have downsides, they can make us different, difficult, and decidedly imperfect. When we deny our edges, we don't embrace the full power of ourselves. And when we deny others' edges, we miss who they are entirely. Awareness of our own edges and those of others enables us to enter into relationships with the full picture.
Candor brings our edges to the forefront and creates the first real profile that shows who we really are at work and lets us embrace all the power and opportunity that comes with that awareness.
Candidates run the job market.
Startup employees change jobs every 18 months on average. That makes for a job market that's more competitive than ever for companies to recruit and retain employees while the bar continues to rise on company culture and employee happiness.
Candor helps candidates better leverage their position in the market by empowering them to be selective with where they work. If you find a role and a team you love, you'll stay there longer. It's a win-win for candidates and employers alike.
We work remotely now.
More than ever before the boundaries between our work and home lives are blurred. The professional is personal and vice versa. While the flexibility of remote-first cultures has its undeniable benefits, the negative effects are just as real. Work anxieties turn into personal anxieties and your personal anxieties into work anxieties. If you don't feel like you belong at work, and work is now at home, what do you do?
This is one of the reasons we're excited to build Candor. By finding the right cultural fit at work you can find greater satisfaction and purpose throughout all areas of your life.
Gen Z and Millennials are comfortable getting uncomfortable.
Candor brings real and honest feedback out in the open where recipients are challenged to grow from it. We hope that creating a safe space to share these insights will result in better self-awareness, more growth, and ultimately greater fulfillment at work.
The future of work is belonging, and there's been no better time in history to create a solution like Candor.
We're hard at work building our vision of Candor for you. Sign up for a free account to learn more about your working style and request Takes from your peers.
We're hiring, too. If our mission resonates, check out our open roles and send us a note if you're interested.

That's why we always do an alternator test to be sure that the alternator is putting out enough power to keep your battery charged. Your battery provides required power to maintain the operation of accessories when the car engine is turned off. The battery also supplements the power from the charging system during periods of high demand – like when you're stuck in traffic with your headlights, wipers and blower motor all running!
The suspect, Richard Deli, a tanker driver, was seen carrying the battery after he had boldly walked to the police station at dawn and spoken to some policemen there. Briefing the Daily Graphic, the Teshie District Police Commander, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Simon Agbodeka, said at about 12 midnight on March 11, Deli went to the charge office and told the officers on duty that he was looking for a friend who had come to make a report at the station. After some time, the police in the charge office spotted Deli carrying away a car battery that was in front of the office.
According to him, the police pursued the suspect, and sensing danger, Deli dropped the battery and took to his heels, but he was later apprehended. When he was questioned,?Mr Agbodeka said the suspect confessed stealing the battery but said he thought it was out of use. He said it was established that the suspect had earlier accompanied a friend and his wife to make a complaint at the station, during which he had seen the battery and decided to come back and steal it. Any actual physical damage to the body of the battery means that you should replace the entire unit at your earliest possible opportunity. In order to make sure your battery is in good condition you should check the top of your battery for dirt and electrolyte.

If you constantly need to jump-start your car, especially when it's cold, you probably need your car battery replaced. These three components of the starting system consume more electrical power than any other system on your car.
CCA or Cold Cranking Amps is a measurement to assure that your car battery had sufficient energy to crank the engine over when it's cold. Whilst a failing battery will not generally result in your car breaking down on the road, it will prevent your vehicle from being started. Damaged batteries can leak in the engine and corrode other parts, so any sign that the battery's casing is not in good condition should be taken seriously.
Too much electrolyte on the top of the battery is usually caused by overfilling and is not a cause for concern – rather a sign that you should be more careful next time you fill your battery. As these batteries use a mix of water and acid in the cells to form the electrolyte the water can evaporate during the summer months. Usually you will only have to add distilled water to the battery and if you see that a cell has run completely dry then you should check the battery to make sure there are no cracks in the casing. Even though the automaker's bulletins are scarce, we know some facts about the 2nd-generation of the plug-in hybrid. The car is prepared to go for its debut in the next year with a additional aggressive appear. Did you know that a bad alternator that's not properly charging your car battery could cause this problem?
We'd always advise that you do a quick visual inspection of your battery any time you open the bonnet of your car to check the oil, top up brake fluid or refill the car's water tank. Equally you should replace frayed, worn or broken cables as soon as possible as these are a vital part of the engine's starting system, carrying the charge that's used to start the combustion process. However, you will need to remove any dirt from the top of the battery as this can form an electrical bridge that can cause the battery to discharge when the vehicle is at a standstill. Also never add acid to a cell that already contains electrolyte – this can damage the electrical balance of the battery and cause failure. This way you should be able to anticipate any problems with the battery before they happen, preventing that awkward moment in the morning where your car won't start. Finally take a look at the fixings for the battery – any looseness could allow the battery to vibrate and the connections could be dislodged.

METALS STUDIO
FOUND OBJECTS + UPCYCLING
All of these artworks are on display in the Library building! You can find them in the Selections from the Permanent Collection exhibit (on the first floor), or in the Visible Storage or New Acquisitions Galleries (on the second floor).
Harriet Estel Berman
Harriete Estel Berman uses post-consumer, recycled materials to construct jewelry, Judaica, and sculpture with social commentary. Her work has been exhibited throughout the United States, Europe, and Africa and has been acquired by 16 museums around the world. Berman was also the Metal Museum's 2004 Master Metalsmith.
This wall sculpture, entitled Delicious Assortment, is from Berman's The Deceiver and The Deceived series, which she made from 1996 to 2004. Sculptures in this series were constructed with recycled "tin" cans from post-consumer packaging. According to the artist, "The pre-printed steel has recognizable images from our material culture. The relentless messages conveyed in media and advertising about a woman's appearance become a frame of stereotypical roles and limited expectations." The fan-quilt pattern that appears in many of the pieces in this series, also refers to the use of fans in western society as "a device of flirtatious deception."
Robert Ebendorf
Robert has been a metalsmith, jeweler, and educator for nearly sixty years. He began recycling objects in his jewelry pieces long before this practice was fashionable or trendy. His dynamic, eclectic jewelry typically incorporates found materials from nature, like crab claw and sea glass, as well as industrially produced objects like keys, buttons, and beer bottle caps. His use of alternative materials challenges our preconceptions about the preciousness of jewelry. This brooch, Keeping It in the Circle, includes found materials such as a crushed aluminum can, a metal coil, and pieces of yellow scrap aluminum.
Ebendorf was a founding member and the second president of the Society of North American Goldsmiths (SNAG). In 1995, he was awarded the American Craft Council Fellowship for his achievement in craft, and in 2004, his oral history interview was included in the Smithsonian Archives of American Art (hyperlink with link below). His work is in many public institutions and private collections. To hear Ebendorf talk about how he recycles objects in his work, watch this YouTube video!
Andrew Hayes
Andrew Hayes grew up in Tucson, Arizona and studied sculpture at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, AZ. During his time as a Core Fellow at Penland School of Crafts, Hayes explored a variety of materials and techniques. In early 2018, he set up a studio in Asheville, NC, and continues to teach at Penland and other institutions across the country. Hayes exhibits his work nationally, and in 2019, he received the South Arts State Fellowship, a $5,000 grant that celebrates and supports artwork being created in the American South.
In his work, Hayes repurposes books and marries them with steel to create free standing and wall sculptures. According to Hayes, "The book as an object is full of fact and story. I take my sensory appreciation for the book as a material and employ the use of metal to create a new form, and hopefully a new story."
Mariko Kusumoto
Japanese, b. 1967
Mariko Kusumoto was born in Kumamoto, Japan and now lives and maintains a studio in Massachusetts. She works in fiber, resin, and metals, and her metalwork typically incorporates found objects and is very technically involved. According to Kusumoto, "My work reflects various, observable phenomena that stimulate my mind and senses; they can be natural or man-made. I 'reorganize' them into a new presentation that can be described as surreal, amusing, graceful, or unexpected." Kusumoto has been exhibiting her work nationally and internationally for over 25 years, and her work has also been collected by eight institutions around the world and by numerous private collectors.
Made in Japan, a kinetic wall sculpture, depicts two Japanese women who bow to each other when the cords on the piece are pulled. Most of the sculpture is made from recycled printed steel and nickel silver. The piece was featured in the Metal Museum's 2017 summer exhibition Metal in Motion, and Kusumoto donated the piece to the Museum following the exhibition. Watch the video below to see the piece in motion!
Marlene True
Marlene True crafted St. Elsie, a ring and stand, from repurposed steel, steel wire, fine silver, brass, and gold leaf. True is a jeweler, metalsmith, and obsessive collector of tin cans and other ephemera that she repurposes in her work. This ring and stand are part of her Enshrined series and were included in her 2012 Tributaries exhibition at the Metal Museum.
True maintains her studio practice and is also the Executive Director of Pocosin Arts School of Fine Craft in Columbia, NC. Her work in in the collections of the Museum of Arts and Design in New York, NY; the Racine Museum of Art in Racine, WI; and the Enamel Arts Foundation in Los Angeles, CA. Marlene volunteers extensively and has served on the Board of Directors for the Society of North American Goldsmiths (SNAG).
Stacey Lee Webber
In 2015, Stacey Lee Webber opened her own studio in Philadelphia, PA, where she sells her artwork and jewelry. Webber was a 2011 Tributaries artist and has exhibited her work both nationally and internationally. Her work has also been collected by the Smithsonian's Renwick Gallery in Washington, D.C.; the Fuller Craft Museum in Brockton, MA; and numerous other public and private collections.
Webber repurposes coins in her artwork, meticulously sawing them to create new forms. The piece here, Abe Hex Sign #9, is a wall sculpture made from hand-sawn pennies, and the design, a classic Pennsylvania Dutch hex sign, was traditionally put on barns to ward off evil. "As a contemporary metalsmith, Webber cherishes working with found materials whose history is physically evident. Her work is often described as meticulous, pushing the boundaries of everyday recognizable objects to the point of unidentifiable. Through material, she strives to make artwork that interests a broad range of viewers and challenges their preconceived notions of the objects that surround them."
J. Fred Woell
American, 1934-2015
J. Fred Woell was an icon in the contemporary American jewelry world. According to Janel Koplos and Bruce Metcalf in their book Makers: A History of American Studio Craft, Woell was the first American jeweler to consistently use found objects in his work, and "he was also amongst the first to add an undertone of social commentary" (p. 277). His work has been collected by numerous private collectors and public institutions, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, CA; the Museum of Arts and Design, New York, NY; and the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C.
Most of Woell's jewelry is comprised of beer cans, soda tops, and any other metal object he could get his hands on. According to Eleanor Moty, fellow artist and longtime friend of Woell, "Through his jewelry and sculpture, Fred expressed his thoughts and reactions about conditions and situations that exist in contemporary society, and he used discarded materials as a statement against the waste and excess in American culture." Social Security Alert, a large, round brooch, is one of Woell's pieces he crafted from found objects, including a postage stamp of Franklin D. Roosevelt, a wristwatch mechanism, and a buffalo head nickel soldered to a metal banner that reads, "BE PREPARED."
Around 1970, ll also began using disposable materials, plastic toy parts, and other items people may deem as trash to create molds for cast silver jewelry and small sculptures. The other two Woell pieces we have in our collection, T-Spoon and Nile Nite Flite, are examples of this type of work. To learn more about Woell, read this post on our blog!

Q: Android: Dynamically Populate a SlidingDrawer (or a small list) within the Main Activity I am working on an Android mapping app that allows a user to type a search parameter into an EditText box, and then the closest destinations matching the query are plotted with pins on the MapView.
Clicking on a pin will give info about the location, but I would like to provide more information to the user up front. I thought a SlidingDrawer could populate and open up to show the user the names of the destinations/the distances away.
Having spent a lot of time on this, having done much reading, and having made little progress, I am now asking the community for assistance.
The problem I'm having is that I can't figure out how to populate the contents of the SlidingDrawer within the main activity. I am able to launch a new activity, but that takes my MapView off the screen. I need to be able to see the map as well as the SlidingDrawer. And I can't figure out how to populate the SlidingDrawer without it being set up as an Activity.
(And I should say also that it doesn't necessarily need to be a SlidingDrawer that contains the list of destinations. I could modify my layout to make a small (max 3 items) list and take away some of the map's real estate if that is easier, but I'm not sure how to do that, either.)
Here is the code that calls my SlidingDrawer:
            //call SlidingDrawer
        Intent drawerIntent = new Intent(this, SlidingDrawerFinal.class);
        drawerIntent.putExtra("lat", lat);
        drawerIntent.putExtra("lon", lon);
        int numberOfTargetsForList = numberOfLoops;
        drawerIntent.putExtra("numberOfTargetsForList", numberOfTargetsForList);
        for(int i = 0; i < target.length; i++){
            drawerIntent.putExtra("target" + Integer.toString(i), target[i]);
        }
        this.startActivity(drawerIntent);

This is the code in my SlidingDrawer class (extends Activity) that fills the list inside the drawer:
    View inflatedDrawerLayout = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.drawer_main, null);
    int width = getWindow().getAttributes().width;
    int height = 300;
    LayoutParams params = new LayoutParams(width, height);
    getWindow().addContentView(inflatedDrawerLayout, params);

    // add some data
            ArrayList<MyData> myDataList = new ArrayList<MyData>();
            myData = new MyData[numberOfTargets];

            for(int i = 0; i < numberOfTargets; i++){
                String lineTwo = "";
                if(target[i].getRating().equals("Not Yet Rated")){
                    lineTwo = "      " + target[i].getRating() + "                           " +
                            Double.toString((Math.round(target[i].getDistance()*100.0))/100.0) + " miles";
                }
                else{
                    lineTwo = "     rating: " + target[i].getRating() + "/5 stars                    " +
                            Double.toString((Math.round(target[i].getDistance()*100.0))/100.0) + " miles";
                }
                String lineOne = (Integer.toString(i + 1) + ": " + target[i].getName() + ", " + target[i].getVicinity()) + "\n" + lineTwo;
                myData[i] = new MyData(lineOne, i);
                myDataList.add(myData[i]);

            }

            mListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listview_);

            mListView.setAdapter(new MyListAdapter(this, R.layout.drawer_row, myDataList));
            drawer = (SlidingDrawer) findViewById(R.id.drawer);
            handleButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.handle);
            drawer.animateOpen();

            drawer.setOnDrawerOpenListener(new OnDrawerOpenListener() {

            public void onDrawerOpened() {
                    handleButton.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.handle_down_white);
                }
            });

Sorry that this is so lengthy. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

A: You can use Popup Window.
View popupView = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.popup_window, null);

    final PopupWindow popupWindow = new PopupWindow(popupView,
            LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

    ImageButton btnCancel = (ImageButton) popupView
            .findViewById(R.id.btnCancel);

popupWindow.showAtLocation(LayoutView, Gravity.BOTTOM
            | Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL, (LayoutView.getWidth() - popupView
            .getWidth()) / 2, LayoutView.getHeight()
            - popupWindow.getHeight() - 10);
    popupWindow.setAnimationStyle(Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF);
    popupWindow.setFocusable(true);
    popupWindow.update();

A: The solution I opted for is programmatically a bit less than ideal, but the layout works well. Since I knew I wouldn't have more than 3 results, I just changed my layout to include (up to) 3 small TextViews under my search bar and (sadly) got rid of the SlidingDrawer altogether. When the results come back, I populate as many TextViews as necessary, each with an onClickListener. It won't scale well, and everything is hard-coded; but it works. I may try to improve upon this solution as I learn more about Android.

...(similar blocks for lines two and three)
Not perfect, but oh well. At least looks pretty good from the user's end, and I was never going to meet my deadline by continuing down the SlidingDrawer route. Maybe when I have some more free time I'll see if I can figure that out....
